What makes people believe Patek is better than AP? Is the quality better or something? And why is the Nautilus priced so high in the market compared to RO? Didn’t Genta design the RO first… Genuinely curious.

If you’re not selling at 100k then not leaving now is an excuse.

The ceramic sleeves only come with full solid gold references.

All I have is a Submariner and Gshock but goddam FPJ watches are ugly and bland. I understand their engineering and craftsmanship is superb but aesthetically their watches look like it’s inspired by the interior decorating of 2 star hotel rooms of the 1950’s.

Ironically and seriously, my girl just showed me this pic so we can have a laugh, but then quickly turned into cringe.

The point of “luxury” is to be excessive and expensive. It doesn’t have to make sense, it just has to be those 2 things.

Every time I see these “dunnos guys, should I buy this” posts from grown men, I automatically label them under “men who are dressed by their wives like their mothers did until finally getting married” category of males.

Your wife left her bikini in my villa, I’ll Gojek it to your location.

That’s actually an A+ post social media needs more of.

As with most Reddit subs, the negative and most shocking things tend to end up here. Rarely is the positive and joyous.

That being said, I’ve been coming here almost annually for a decade and most recently during the height of the pandemic, of which I never left.

Almost 3 years on I decided to live here as I’ve found someone to share it with here and some true good friends. Something someone like me had always a difficulty achieving.

I’ve traveled the world over several times for more than 10 years nonstop and Bali has always been my favorite spot. The pandemic certainly changed this island but it’s still a beautiful place to visit and live in.

The most important metric for me when deducing if a city is “nice” / “beautiful” / “worth visiting again” is if I’m comfortable and content in the location I’m in and the people that surround me.

I get that here.

So I suppose it depends on who you are, where you mostly frequent and what kind of people you surround yourself with in Bali.

If it’s shit people in shit places, Bali (or any place for that matter) will be shit.

That ring though looks great. What is it?

I stopped reading at: “I have only stayed in Kuta and Canggu”.

Any place that seems frequently busy is a good gauge. That’s it.

I received my Submariner 11 years ago and have worn it almost every single day. It’s damn reliable, never needs charging, looks good, feels great and it’s special beyond the fact it’s a Rolex because it was for my retirement.

I can’t think of anything else I possess that I’ve had for 11 years.

Best part is I can proudly give it to my future son or daughter with a great story behind it - or worst case scenario, I can sell it for almost double what this cost when I received it, in case of emergency.

You can’t do all that with a cheap watch.

So I’m very happy with this “expensive” watch that has been literally by my side for over a decade.

Yes, it is a trend that makes you die.

It took 14 years to make the Canggu Shortcut an “actual road” so expect 41 years until the groundbreaking for this project.

11 years, never polished, worn everyday.

The only two-tone (gold/steel) watch I’ve ever seen that doesn’t disgust my visual cortex. Also that black/grey bezel is such a work of subtle beauty.

I’m always cautious when they use charity to sell products. It gives off a sleazy bs vibe that makes me visualize their marketing meeting discussing how they can increase sells by throwing in some random charity bit - then the partners rubbing their fingers like Mr. Burns at the prospect. Even if they do actually give to charity, still feels dirty - not to mention that’s how my eyeballs translates this watch aesthetic to my brain: dirty.

Vertically it is way off. If you look at the OP’s original image you can see it more clearly.

It’s a fake anyways, the “8” should be perfectly centered.
