The Watch Thread - Part 10

[indigo22]

Closing statements, enjoy what others have and appreciate what you have. Different people have different circumstances and stories behind their watches and how they go about acquiring them. No need for any judgments/generalizations. At the end of the day, we share one thing in common-Our love and passion of watches and horology.

buddy now u seem like an angel leh, i still rmb that time u first time post ur Tudor Pelagos here, we also had the same reaction, sia la student can afford tudor liao! but ur replies like totally different (in a good way) and i think u had one other watch which isn't cheap too de

There you go again see, "too young".

Just say you don't like the design can Liao.

Better learn if you're serious hor, working life people won't be so open and respond like this. They will keep it inside and hantam you gao gao when they buay song.

I like the design very much. But it doesn't go with my usual casual dressing

 

[cyrenic]

legit. i wear DKNY watch, people say i ah sia kia. KNNNNN

i rather be respected with my own keep rather than people give me face because of my parents. hahaha

but but but but, got money also song leh.
tough decision.

Nothing wrong with being rich la. As long as stay humble. I have a lot of rich friends who play it quite cool, they don't flaunt, but they don't get ashamed of their stuff either. Just act normal and know that you're not normal, I think most people can appreciate that.

I find it rather offensive that you assume that they carry them as if it was hard earned by them. It could be a gift from their other half, an aunt, an uncle or their parents. Maybe they carry these items and treasure them as if it was given to them by someone important in their lives? I know there are arrogant pricks who carry these things to show off, but I don't think it's fair to generalize all the people in my generation. By the way, I know students who work during their holidays everyday as uber/grab drivers to save up for watches and also give their parents money. I do think that's considered hard-earned.

Going to be uber driver now!!

You have no idea what the other side is like.

During NS I work weekends to save up for future and took nothing from parents. Also no money to take license, talk what car rental. Those drivers already got certain standard, take $1000 give back $100. Better than take $2000 la I guess. But please don't pretend they're independent saints hor.

ahya this thread se eh poisonous sia...initially my funds were for me to upgrade my camera...dunno why i legs itchy go try Rolex Sub @ THG...

my camera hasn't been upgraded ever since

hahaha bro, i used 400D for almost a decade.

lolol.

just recently changed to 70D. so ok la.

it's not the camera, it's the person behind the camera.

everyone's perception of value is different. i wouldn't get Fortis but having an ETA inside wouldn't be the reason.

and how much one can pay is subjective too; often limited by affordability or degree of spendthriftness.

Yeah, still thinking about it though. Love the look.

to be fair, i think no one here is generalizing anything or anyone. he's merely pointing out how affluent some of our younger generation are projecting themselves to be.

all this started because you wrongly assumed that his first remark was a snide one and you became instantly defensive. just my 2c: learn to chill out and see the funny side of things. life is much more bearable that way, and a little humor never hurt anyone.
