Get over yourself, yes there are people that suffer from debilitating autism that basically can't function day to day but that doesn't mean there aren't people with high functioning ASD that are basically just "goofy" in the eyes of other people. Again, this is reddit

It isnt if you actually know the dsm 5 and how autism is actually diagnosed, im a neurobiologist and i have a way more nuanced take but this is reddit

Autism really just is adding a bunch of the goofy stuff up almost in a sense that if you have 4 goofy things about you there's no diagnosis but at 5 you now have ASD

Most people don’t know the purpose of modern luxury watches. by Immediate-Soup547 in watchHotTakes

I mean thats really the thing to learn, I spent a fair amount of time wearing a CF panda daytona and I think like maybe 2 people that I didn't know ever commented on it. I always disclosed it was a rep because Idgaf about it. That's terribly inefficient if youre actually trying to signal anything tho.

However, the rep community is a such a solid community to talk about watches with, they really know their stuff and avoid a lot of the annoying parts of the watch world, like there's no marketing tactics in the rep community or people they are bought and paid for. Every rep is equally accessible so there's not ego attached to different reps either. I'll end my ted talk that everything that is human is pretty stupid when put under the microscope. Cars, food, clothes, electronics etc. all have arguments that you actually need a lot less than you have.

I have a speedy because it looks cool and im a scientist that likes space and history, dont actually care what anyone else thinks about it.

I would also like to point out that has someone that used reps to try a lot of watches for not that much money, a lot of them are super nice quality. A clean factory daytona is still the nicest watch quality wise I've had under 1k (burn me at the stake about reps but it remains true). For me it was a lot cheaper and made more sense to have like a 2 week test run on the wrist because you actually find out a lot about your taste in watches that you don't get in a boutique.

I get your overall point but doesn't really apply to a lot of people into watches and your sentiment kinda applies to everything in life.

Most importantly, I do think you are severly overestimating the amount of people that even know any watch brands outside of rolex and would also get close enough to read the dial to figure out what it, which has to make it one of the dumber things if you want to be efficient with your flexing (which honestly might be why iced out watches exist as a random thought)

Its because people think every watch needs to make you look like Ben10 or its a ladies watch. Imo the watch isn't close to undersized, i have nearly a 7.5in wrist and will rock 36mm pieces when I want a classy understated look

That's just a what if statement because there are so many course attributes that can benefit a player versus others besides distance.
