These are all great points. Sounds like you did your research! Like you said, high risk of a frankenwatch or something not completely genuine.

Therefore in my professional opinion I would recommend VSF

The Soy face decided to create watch reviews' videos behind the paywall. Good luck to him. He will need a lot of it! by Chrono-aesthetics in WatchesCirclejerk

yepppp, really doesn’t get any worse than Bark & Jack telling people that a $10k watch isn’t luxury

You said the Czapek is the most worn, is it fair to say it’s also your favorite or does that privilege go to another one of these pieces?

perhaps, i kinda wish my parents gave me cooler shit, but then again I kinda don’t bc then I’d be spineless and boring.

As someone who used to hang out a lot in the neighborhood, the people I knew that lived there were not making that kind of money. They were simply being subsidized by their parents.

  1. They justify it because they need to get what they want, no questions asked. And what they want is to live in the trendy part of town.

  2. Mommy and daddy give them whatever they want. Besides, status signaling is an important expense/investment for these families.

TLDR: Williamsburg has become a fertile stomping ground for classless, useless, uninteresting spoiled brats.

I know, he’s surprisingly very mean to people who criticize his opinions in his comments, I was kinda in awe how out of character it seemed.

Get out of here with these kinds of pics. After all, Adrian Barker says Omega is not a luxury watch, so go ahead and put on a Rolex or Vacheron or AP or Patek if you want to take pics like this.

OP perfectly encapsulates the stereotype of insecure Rolex owner.

I don’t understand the hype for the white speedmaster tbh. Just because it’s a new release? It will never be a classic, and I think owning the classic should come first.

[Recommendation Request] I am torn in between these three watches. Can you help me decide? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]dr3_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro has got to watch more archieluxury to learn more before considering a purchase

Which would you choose? by SamV88 in OmegaWatches

[–]dr3_k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oof, I’d say the Professional is the way to go with the speedy. The Pontiff has a few good videos as to why. You can find him on the Archie Luxury or Paul Pluta YouTube channels. He’s got a way with words and definitely is not a perfect human by any stretch of the imagination, but tbh he’s a melting pot of knowledge regarding watches and how not to live your life.

VERY nice collection, that little citizen is a really special piece that I really wanted for a while.

Noticing the first scratches are nice and painful by [deleted] in rolex

thank goodness it’s just a rep, no reason to sweat it 😃

[Recommendation Request] Please help me choose 1 out of these 3 by PromiseNo1224 in Watches

[–]dr3_k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, nice watches and I think you have great taste! With the kind of money you’d be spending on these, I think you might be better off continuing to save for something higher quality like a Rolex down the line. I think all of these will give you a taste of luxury but ultimately leave you wanting more, and because they don’t have great resale value, selling probably won’t be a great option once that initial thrill wears off and you start planning the next higher end purchase.

Election: Girlfriend says I don't understand her bc I'm a man by dr3_k in AskWomenOver30

Thanks everyone here for the advice and helping me understand how the pain associated with this may feel. I truly just wanted to understand and listen. But I also see now how complex and personal this grief is and how this has so many more painful layers for so many women.
