Is it better to wear no watch than a watch costing <$1000?

[Hacky McAxe]

Hi toner, really interested in your sizing someone up based on their watch.

You would be right though, proper people wear a expensive watch, have new shoes on, nice clothes, look neat, it all comes as a package.

People with Xiaomi watches should probably be a little embarrassed at a cafe. Sitting next to someone with a Rolex. Lol

I'd be embarrassed to sit next to someone who has a watch that only tells the time. That's like renting a TV that only shows free-to-air

Wait, she is an administrator here and talks like that?

Ahh mate, you will see in due time. This place has been left in bad hands unfortunately.
But not fear, there is a core of good people who love this place for what it is, an actual forum

 

[Raysie]

Very good point. Then a $1000 watch becomes bottom of the food chain.

But do people wearing a proper watch look down at people wearing a cheap watch?

They have to, otherwise how we they justify their rediculous purchase?

No

what’s a proper watch?

 

[Blue_boost]

No

It comes down to affordability. By checking out their watch (amongst other things) you can determine who you are dealing with

For instance someone with money won't be wearing a $7.85 watch.

To me a proper watch says I got money.. like someone with an expensive car, it's status

If anyone looks down on me, they will be on the receiving end of an UPpercut. Always look UP.

I'm really tough on watches so buying expensive watches would be like spending $20k on a car to drive in a smash up derby.

But in all honesty the bulk of blue boost threads are basically an attempt from him to paint himself into the minds of others as someone that has money and is therefore more special than people who don't. Money and status symbols don't make you a decent person. If you apply value to yourself based on crap like a valuable watch etc, you have taken a wrong turn in life. I'd rather be living on the streets and capable of being a good person, than living in a mansion and treating others like garbage.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Even with the new SSM laws?

Can I marry my dog? Like he would probably also turn me down but??

 

[Scoooby]

if you are wearing a wrist watch in 2019 you are no good

Well only unless it’s for a purpose and still looks good, my Apple Watch sits on my wrist and looks the part as well, also receives messages etc

so yes I wear a watch..!!!

don’t even know how this thread turned into I’m better than you because of x

actually took one fool to assume that because I see other people with the same appreciation and an interest, I looking down on others that don’t. How far off they are, in actual fact I do not!

I see everybody as equal, regardless of what religion you are, race, sexuality. At the end of the day we are all the same, we bleed all the same colour blood.

Yeah, sure I notice what watch people are wearing that’s because I’m a watch enthusiasts. Just like other people are car enthusiasts for example, V8s, JDMs, 4x4 etc.

JDM people, you’re cruising you see another JDM. You can relate, you can appreciate, you’ve got something already in common. You might pull up next to him/her and have a convo.

That doesn’t mean a person driving a JDM is going to look down on others. What nonsense.

I just see a trend with blue boost threads where he regards every posession right down to prawns as an excercise in displaying your status.

you know what they say, people like that are compensating for something else

People have looked down on me my whole life, but that's cause I'm short!!

But seriously some people do and have looked down on me just because of the way I dress, because I have piercings, I like wearing jewelry, because of my music taste and so on.

I honestly don't care though because it doesn't define me what someone else thinks. If you like me, cool, if you don't, so be it. I do my own thing and I'm happy that way. Only person I need to please is myself, oh and my girlfriend occasionally lol.

I get what your saying. You appreciate a nice watch and if you see someone else who is wearing a nice watch you can comment on it and start a conversation about the subject of watches.

I'm a metal head so if I'm out somewhere and spot a person in a metal band shirt I'll comment and start a conversation about metal music with them.

 

[MatstaDogg]

I've got a nice Tag Heuer watch that I only wear out when I go to functions and special occasions as it's my formal watch so to speak when I suit up.

I have a nice Guess watch as my everyday watch.

Same bro. What’s shits me though is people try to send you a message by looking at me a certain way. I say tell it to me like a man!

 

[Precise]

Edit - Never mind rant about people and these watches I've experienced lol. Just buy a gshock for 99% of events and a sevenfriday for the few rare suit ones.

Speaking of wrist watches, my ex missus once worked for Rolex.

She used to give me free wristies all the time.

Or maybe his Mrs is nagging him to make more money so he can buy these things?
