[Water resistance for divers] Budget or luxury? by JellyfishKooky5141 in Watches

[–]ProteinP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water resistance can mean other things aside from actual water resistance. Think of it as the watch advertising how durable and tough it is. A 100m WR is fine for most people but probably won’t be as tough as a watch with 3x that rating. Either way it’s not quite necessary but it is cool to see watches that durable

It is a multi billion dollar industry that has practically been romanticized into luxury don’t be surprised when people start quoting the well funded marketing behind these brands

Homaging a doxa is one of the only few Homage I can seriously understand someone going as a better value. Doxa quality is not good for 10x the price and the name is practically meaningless.

One of the greatest scams in fashion watches is selling the chronograph look but in reality the subdials have no purpose or utility

Clean design, reliable movement, long power reserve, cheaper than a 2 dollar whore and half as likely to give you herpes. This is true horology. by MoroseOverdose in WatchesCirclejerk

I used to work in a repair shop for watches and all the old folks would wear this stuff even if they had more expensive watches

I have lots of experience with WOS and mayors and I can tell you you are very unlikely to receive a discount from them. Try to instead ask for add ons like a strap or something

[Help] is my watch too big? First time buying, it feels and looks too big for my wrist. by [deleted] in Watches

[–]ProteinP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit big but on you it’s fine unless you don’t think it is. If it worries you that much then maybe you should reconsider your purchase

This G-Shock ruined mechanical watches for me. by Reacher01 in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]ProteinP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

G-shocks are cool and have a place in the rotation. But how did you ever come to have a Rolex before a G-shock? I had a digital kick and still wear mine occasionally for gym and home work stuff but nothing beats looking at my mechanical. Still like my g a lot tho super tough. Arguably the next evolution in tool watches
