yes very prevalent. especially the Rolex Submariner
Kayden Reyes
My brother's Singaporean friend has one of those
Liam Cox
it's one of the cheapest luxury watches out there. a normal dude like me could buy 1 just by saving up in 6 months.
Nathaniel Robinson
They're quite hard to get hold of here, there's a big waiting list
Jace Turner
SOmewhat
Lucas Sanders
Yes
Not really
Joseph Young
Australia
No, because people have smartphones. But also yes, because Abble Gombuders have brainwashed people into believing they need a watch again so now every asshole has a """""smart"""""" watch and if you ask them why, they'll tell you they like knowing how many steps they take throughout the day
Aiden Ramirez
i would have thought for a country like the UK these watches would be readily available everywhere like here in SG. you could probably find a shop that sells Rolex watches every 5-7km here
Eli White
Denmark
Yes most normies wear watches
I myself wear a certina
Julian Fisher
Isn't Singapore a hub for fake watches though?
Aaron Garcia
no, not any more
Christian Miller
Strange, I see watches on almost everyone when I'm in g*rmany
Noah Rogers
only cheap shit.
If I was buying an expensive watch, I'd buy a NOMOS
James Morgan
Cheap watches are still watches so you lied to us
Brayden Perry
most of those watches come from China and are not sold in any shops. these fakes are sold online.
as long as you buy from a reputable shop it will be a real one.
Colton Cook
>he wears the arm jew

Yes, most people tend to wear watches, either normal analog mechanical/quartz watches or pulse/smart watches.
Elijah Brown
WRONG. I went to a reputable dealer in Singapore and asked for a Rolex, and he said he only has Lolexes
HAHAHAH
Ryder Roberts
Great choice I think. I'd like a nomos too.
Landon Morris

Only boomers still do
I tried wearing one for awhile but it became a nuisance to take off and put back on whenever I washed my hands, and it doesnt anything a smart phone doesn't do.
Angel Carter
wtf are you serious? what's the shop name and where is it at?
Andrew Perez
I fucked up the joke. I should've replaced the Ls with Rs because Chinese have trouble with Ls.
Logan Martinez
He's making with the funny with the confusion of native Mandarin speakers with Jow Forums and /l/
Matthew Taylor
Does it not have any water resistance? You should have one with WR, I believe most watches today will have WR at least to 3atm, which is enough for splashes and such when you watch your hands.
Elijah Adams
When you wash your hands*
James Moore
ah. come to think of it, lolex would probably be how my grandma pronounces it
Chase Clark
I used to have to interest in watches and saw spending over £40 on one a waste of time but the past year or so I've changed my mind completely and think they're rather nice. I think spending over 150 is pointless though
Nathan Gray
That's like saying spending over £1000 on a car is pointless. Sure, you can argue that even that is true, because why would you really need a car above 1k? But the truth is you'd want to at least have a car that will put you back at least £10k so that you won't drive around in a total wreck. Similarly with watches, you'd at least want to spend 200-400 on a watch because those that are more affordable than that will ultimately be of such a low quality that it's not really enjoyable to own them. What are your thoughts on that?
Christopher Brown
Well sure I mean every normal man is supposed to wear one though most are worth between €50 and €200.
Gavin Ortiz
Buying a mechanical watch would be like instead of buying a 1k VW Polo getting yourself a Ford model T for 50k.
James Diaz
Yes.
Cooper Hill
Yes.
But you buy a watch with a mechanical movement for the autism and the charm of how the mechanics work. And surely that is each to his own to decide what they want. But my aforementioned statement is not only for mechanical watches. If you buy one with quartz movement, under 200 then it will feel very cheap. I like to say that 400 is the point at which a watch will start to feel like quality when you hold it in your hand or wear it on your wrist, and when you study the external finish of the case, the dial, and also the bracelet/quality of the leather strap.

Oliver Green
No, we wear Rollex, because we are rich.
Connor Hall
I have a $150 Olympic and it does the job fine. If I wanted to splurge on a watch, I'd get a Seiko Astron.
William Martinez
I see your point and I agree with you. As a matter of fact all my watches are digital Seiko's because of their sturdy full metal casings which you just feel when compared to hard plastic Casio.
The only thing about watches that bothers me is that so many people seem to believe mechanical watches are better than Quartz ones which simply isn't true in any regard.
Sadly they keep dying
Justin Hernandez
>nearly 2019
>still using metal
Nathaniel Anderson
>Seiko Astron.
Those are very big tho. I'd like them to be smaller in size personally. But the innovative idea of the Astro-line is very cool.
Yeah, mechanical watches are much less accurate than quartz. Anyone with just a tiny bit of interest in watches will know this fact, I think. Mechanical is only "better" because it's more special and charming. The handcraft and the awesomeness of a mechanical movement makes it, in some sort of autistic way, a superior choice I think. But not for accuracy obviously.
Brody James
What happens when termites starts digging into it?
Jonathan Torres
Dutch mechanical watch owners are smug assholes that absolutely do not reason like you.
If you view your watch like a piece of mechanical art like you do, that's completely fine. I think it's beautiful indeed how mechanical watches work.

Adam Richardson
>Cou're Yunt
>Are wristwatches prevalent among the population?
No, they're seen as outdated and useless.
Thomas Butler
Mechanical watches are more expensive and exclusive, so many people are steered that way because of the status. And naturally many of these will act smug about how great their watch is and how much it cost. How good a watch is for these people will be how much it cost, I guess?
Jace Lewis
Any oyster perpetual man in?
Luis Stewart
Maybe (you) are in?
David Adams
I am in
Thomas Harris
It's a solid watch. Do you own anything else than the OP?
Christopher Collins
No :(
Julian Fisher
A lot of older people still wear them because they're used to it from pre-cellphone times. Big flashy expensive watches are status symbols among shitskins and wiggers larping as gangsters. Young people decreasingly give a shit.
Parker Smith
Which dial do you have? Care to post a wristcheck?
Adrian Johnson
Blue
Isaac Gomez
Shave that arm hair m8
Adam Moore
Great taste
Junghans is pretty nice as well
Easton Ward
Very nice, looks grey to me though.
Grayson Martin
Max Bill is very aesthetic.
Isaiah Walker
If you are a bit enthusiastic about watches, then perhaps you'd like to check out the Jow Forums and /fa/-based watch discord: discord.gg
Julian Gray
Oh I thought you meant the dots round the side, yeah the face is grey
What watch do you have
Eli Hall
rate mine
William Thompson
I think I’m getting a Mega for Christmas
Ryan Carter
I have a speedy pro and a few more affordable ones, like the seiko sarb033, junghans max bill, and others.
Good choice if you ask me. It will be a mega nice christmas.
Joseph Martin
Seiko is never a bad choice.
Matthew Gray
>Good choice if you ask me. It will be a mega nice christmas.
So many good choices though. They all look excellent
What do you think of pic related?
Isaac Lee
I like it. It works quite well as a dresswatch.
Adrian Jones
That's a nice piece of kit
Isaac Collins
I think so. At some point I want to add a nomos.
Julian Kelly
One of my grails
Hudson Morris
Yes it's very nice. I have other watches I'd like to buy for that price though. You seem like one with an interest in watches.
David Davis
>You seem like one with an interest in watches
Thank you. It's just a hobby I guess, watches are basically the only jewelry a man can wear and my grandad is a watches enthusiast so I inherited his passion for them
Leo Cook
You should join the discord You'd feel right at home.
Luis Reed
I will! Although I have to refrain myself or I'll empty my bank account
Jaxon James
No, most of my countrymen are too poor to afford one unless it's some shit.
And to be honest in present day watches are only a status thing.
Parker Garcia
Kek, I know what you mean. The itch of getting a new watch. I have been downsizing my collection for a while now, and I think it is at a reasonable size now of max 8 pieces.
Jose Watson
I think it's more a fashion thing than a status thing, because most buy watches that are quite afforable, and there is no status about that.
Aiden Lewis
Luckily all the luxury watches I like are quite entry-level and minimal
Nathan Foster
>1900€
dude just buy a DW or MVMT watch
Evan Parker
>DW
Get one from Aliexpress or some shit, it will cost you 25€ and it will be literally of the same quality as an original one
Jason Young
Yes, the most expensive watch I would think of as my "next grail" should I ever spend that money, would be a reverso, and they're not that ridiculous in price all considered.
Kevin Hill
It's a nice watch but I'll never be able to like square watches I'm afraid
This is the most angular I'll go
Kayden Sanders
No, people use their phone now
I have pic related
Levi Bailey
They are quite expensive, but very nice. I would rather look toward JLC as my top choice of brand. I honestly think that my end station, no matter how much money, would be some sort of high horology JLC. I love them.
Dylan Stewart
France
Not particularly
I'm interested in them because I used to be a clockmaker by trade.
Luke Allen
Did they make these without that hideous green?
Nathaniel Morgan
Those tourbilons are orgasmic but I fell for the minimal meme
Jackson Moore
Yes there is a delicious Pink gold version.
The Mikrotimer is actually much better in real life. The green doesn't pop out as much. It's also very fun to see the needle spin really fast
Evan Smith
Yeah. I like minimalism/bauhaus too, hence my next watch might be nomos. And I do have a max bill after all.
John Sanchez
Nice.
How come you're not a watchmaker anymore?
Christopher Moore
Based
Jason Flores
I'm a quartz watch lover.
Jonathan Thomas
Work doesn't really pay well for a lot of watchmakers.
Brands require that you own really expensives material, machines and formation if you don't want to void people's warranties, so Jewelleries just send theirs to big centralized maintenance centers (where you're not paid a lot as an employee).
So unless you want to change batteries for Pulsars or Miyota's movements, you could try to work on clocks (which is awesome) but fewer and fewer people wants theirs fixed or cleaned up.
It wasn't worth the effort so I picked up something else and I'm happy with it.
Still got some nice memories.
Austin Campbell
Yep they are used by the vast majority I'd reckon
For men its the most natural accessory
But a poor person might not own a watch because it's not something that is prioritized unless you can spare 2-3k on something that isn't really needed
Liam Gutierrez
I own a few, mostly watches I've inherited from my grandfather/given by my dad.
Feel naked without one.
Wyatt Martin
What's the point. There are smartphones.
Owen Bailey
No, because North Americans are man children who would rather rely on their normiephones, which in this regard are literally just a shittier version of a fucking pocket watch.
Matthew Harris
Easier to always have a watch on your wrist. No need for charging, you don't have to pick it up from your pocket etc.
Blake Cook
If you only want to know the time you can simply gaze down on your wrist in 0.5 seconds, and also its an acessory for someone who actually care about how they look when they walk outside the door
Samuel Adams
Yes very prevalent, daniel wellington or seikos, citizen, police, skagen and so on for all those commoners, and tag heuer for those who want to pay a bit more, I see them everywhere
Lincoln Johnson
>tfw C*nada will never have a watch culture similar to that of based Scandis
just end my life already
Anthony Hill
Why don't canadians wear watches? Maybe youre too young still. More people tend to wear them when they reach the age of 20 because they start to dress more adult-like (only kids don't wear watches)
