£3500 on eBay. Somebody blow their savings on this.
First for the superior parachute webbing strap.
Continuing from the last thread, that’s exactly what I hate about this “hobby”. Any cunt can spend £4000 on a Rolex and automatically become more of a watch enthusiast.
It pains me tha there are thousands of people who own Rolexes and Omegas that know nothing about the technology or heritage and don’t care.
Prettier than the OP.
Again dude, not shaming on you for being poor and wearing a shitty watch but let me change the words.
Let’s say you find this forums where people post their gaming rigs, that go from $5k to $7k and you say “hey this seems like a nice community, I’d like to join” but you got no money and you have a $200 Walmart laptop and still decide to post pics of it, specs and shit.
Then people start making fun of you and you, instead of realizing your mistake blame them because they have higher standards than yours and can’t relate to your $200 laptop.
That’s the thing with you people, you are that $200 Walmart laptop guy that gets bullied in a forum and doesn’t realize he doesn’t belong there.
And no, I don’t care if you are poor. If you are joining the game you are playing with the same standards than everybody, nobody is gonna suck your dick and give you some free validation because you blow your year saving in a $2000 seiko
>tfw discord link is still not in the OP
Not that guy but that’s exactly right.
At the end of the day, being a watch enthusiast is spending thousands on a luxury item. It’s a shitty, materialistic, non-progressive interest.
Go for a vintage then
>pretending that you represent everyone in this thread
Just buy a watch doesn't make you an enthusiast. At least with a Rolex there are things to discuss about them. There is so much technical smarts and material science involved in their production. What is there to say about a $50 shitter?
