My preference is still the GMT master 2, or just a vintage 1920 style pocket watch chained to a button

Or i dunno, just nothing, no watch, as time is just an illusion, just like hope

P.s. 2 days ago theres a frontpage reddit thread on jeff bezos making a $40million mechanical watch that is designed to outlast human extinction, pretty nifty

The one with the atlas embedded in the watch face is the new Aqua Terra Worldtimer I think. Released this year as a 75th anniversary edition.

Hey, that $40m Jeff Bezos thing, I thought that was a clock, not a watch? It's old news, bro, from 2018. It's just a giant clock built into a mountain.

Ya see folks!

A quality joke left to spoil in the bowels of this forum. Luckily it wasn’t flushed away forever!

Watch are you cheery about? You’ll have been waiting years! Obviously for you time is a virtue.

I have bad news for you mate, I reckon I could pick them as fakes in under a minute, Ive got a few watches (Tag, Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre and a Breitling) and when you have worn real Swiss watches for a while the fakes are usually pretty easy to pick. A mate showed me a Patek Phillipe watcth recently that had been given to him to cover a debt, it was a Nautilus, and, if real, worth over 100k. He knew I had a few watches and asked me to have a look. I'd never held one before, but at first glance I thought this could be real, it took a few minutes and some pretty close scrutiny but I am certain that it is a fake. Having said that it is a very, very good fake and is probably worth 20 to 30k even knowing it is fake.

Vincent888, you should join the YeahMad crowd.
If you haven't seen YeahMad search for them on youtube.

Noice... And all on time. Must be using a watch winder, then? I find that such a hassle with owning more than 1 mechanical watch.

I just prefer my Citizen Eco-Drive Satellite Wave.

I hate winding watches or charging them (except via solar).

Just set you timezone and nothing else.

I am considering getting a Solar Garmin, 51mm just so I can put on the watch whatever I like.

Personal ring gif's is one idea... mmm girlone rings and a her pussy pic ?

My cheap Citizen Eco-Drive watch (priced at $150) have been lasting for a very long time. Almost 8 years now. Keeps time very well but the second hand a little wonky, and the stopwatch mode never sits exactly at 12 when you reset the timer.

I wear it for work. I've had it bashed through all kinds of surfaces and it's still holding up like a tank. Japanese innovation is truly remarkable even with a cheap price tag.

If i may say that there are some great Aussie watches out there. Ones caught my eye are Erroyl and Second Hour.

Melbourne watch company is pretty cool as well

Any fans of pocket watches like me? I only have one but could have several. I just feel that when I wear them I look like a wanker and possibly 30 years older than my actual age. I just like them

Do you also wear a monocle and a top hat? And possibly ride one of those late 1800 bicycles with oversized front wheel and tiny rear wheel?

It’s called style, not all of us have it or are able to understand what it is. Being vanilla and blending into the masses is just boring.

Given this is a punting forum, I was once approached by a very hot girl in a party who spotted the gold chain of the watch and it led to a hot night back in my place.

Everything these days have some gold in it. Not everything gold is expensive as some are just gold plated.

I wonder if the girl is actually from some rural towns and have never seen proper expensive jewellery. If I go to Thailand I'm also very likely to pick a girl up without paying upfront just by flashing some gold cockrings.

Was it your mum picking you up from the party?

pocket watches are nice and also substantially cheaper.
you could get a Vacheron Constantin pocket watch for 3k, whilst a watch would be 30k
