The Watch Thread - Part 15

[gaoxing84]

I like how in your mind you’ve conjured a dualistic narrative, probably inspired by the good and evil paradoxes that Hollywood silver screens sold our generation. Expensive watches, inherent horological buffoon... and so on..

I wont dissuade you, I find the notion rather charming actually. Well, more amused than charmed, but you get the idea.

omg you sound like a douche-wearing AP
god, such a waste of a beautiful timepiece on you.

you could go well with a Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, suits your personality. a douche

 

[gaoxing84]

Now are we supposed to trade insults, or something of the sort? I posted a picture of a watch and your reaction is to label me with a certain kind of dumbness?

My my my... And I dont know about this thesarus you keep going on about.. Growing up, my favourite was the Stegosaurus. In Greek stegos means roof and sauros=lizard. Cool stuff, amirite?

haha this just cement the fact that you're douche.
i hope this helps

maybe he's lifewelltravelled with a newly upgraded warchest of money (or stolen photos) and thesaurus.

probably a piece of jewelry to show off.
like a diamond to a lady which has no intrinsic value
which is in this case, a watch has no intrinsic value to that individual.

what a waste.....

If so, it is interesting. The last I came across such a person was in polytechnic when I was doing IT installation of laptops for new students.

One foreign guy I attended to came in with the latest Dell Alienware laptop weighing about 5KG! I asked him why he would buy such a heavy laptop that he will have to carry to school everyday. He said plainly with no hint of sarcasm...

"I like".

IMO best reason/only reason to buy something is "I like"

The Basel 2018 126660 “triple six” DSSD in black, running the new calibre 3235. You wont miss a beat as you descend towards the bottom of the Marianas trench.

hi pros here, i'm looking to buy an entry level nomos watch to celebrate my next stage in life. however budget is low so looking at the manual winding ones. should be 2+k?

official website says there is the ludwig 38 with manual winding, but went to watches of switzerland and they say only automatic is 38. the manual 35 looks too small on my wrist.

any experts can help advise if i should just buy off the official website?

Ask if they can order and bring in for you.
Otherwise you can always get it direct online.
Online prices after GST and shipping maybe closer to $3k

Otherwise u can try for a similar stowa antea on eta 2892 limited to 50

Sometimes it is the best answer, whether it’s to haolian or just bcos he simply likes the brand. It’s his money so I don’t huan lo....

But there are always people who put on a front trying to say “wa I buy a expensive watch bcos work peer pressure”, “wa luxury watches are hustles”
Then turn around and buy more luxury watches to slap his own face...
