I am done buying expensive swiss watches

[Jason Voorhees]

After buying the Omega speed master, a Cartier Santos. I'm done purchasing expensive heritage watches from Swiss brands. The cost to satisfaction ratio is not there for me to justify brutalizing my wallet every time. I still love those watches and wear them regularly. You buy these kind of watches to mark major life events. Like I got my speedy when I graduated out of high school. Santos at the end of my uni and wore it for my farewell. I wanted my farewell watch to be a Rolex land dweller but I got kicked out of the dealership for not having a purchase history made a thread about it. Still in the waiting list btw

I hate rolex authorized dealers so much

Just the other day I walked into a Rolex AD just to check out the new Land Dweller. I was dressed modestly had on a polo, chinos, and a cap. Nothing flashy. The store looked like the headquarters of the Federal Reserve or something. 3 bodyguards. Bulletproof glass, huge steel reinforced doors...

So instead of jumping through all that loopholes I have decided to take my endeavours into mid range watches. Which will start with this order of citizen zenshin. Available in stock. No interrogation like I'm applying for Schengen Visa, no sorry sir you don't have a purchase history. No waiting list. Just in stock. It's arriving next week. I'm excited

You should learn how to put together your own watches from parts. Ive read about it before but haven't tried, not that into watches, it seems affordable but also really cool since you get exactly what you want and get to mix stuff. And it gives a new life to any broken watches you find for cheap that are otherwise expensive

Never understood luxurycels tbh. If I had a bunch of money to piss away I'd spend it on shit that actually makes a meaningful difference (i.e a nice car, high quality tech, hardmaxxing, etc). Never understood this mentality of buying stuff just because it's expensive

 

[Klasik616]

I like watches but the prices are ridiculous

Generally people collect for some deeply personal reasons. I started my watch collection because of a gift that my dad gave me

This watch will always be dear to me

This is the watch my dad gave me on my 16th birthday. He didn’t know anything about watches he just knew I was into watches and walked into a store and bought this for me. I wore the shit out of it in high school. It doesn't get much wear now but despite buying watches more than 10x the price...

The most I’ve spent on a watch was 350€ for a tissot. I can’t imagine spending close to 10k for a Cartier santos

 

[Foreverbrad]

[FaceandBBC]

Meanwhile my best watches is some beat up g shocks.

Luckily I bought my Santos back in 2019 and paid like 46k hkd for it, cos Cartier weren't hot as shit then

my friend's dad is an older guy and he bought a couple of 5711s in the 70s when they werent crazy expensive. hes also hella loaded so his collection is crazy. you never see him wearing any watches tho, unless its for a special event. seems like most people these days don't like to wear watches daily if they have serious bands, or definitely nothing flashy.

I personally don't like simple dress watches like calatrava they are not for me. I like watches to have some personality.

There's not many items/jewellery that is acceptable for an adult man to wear and watch is one small exception

Why not just buy high quality rep watches ?

Watches hold zero value

I still wouldn't call watches and investment. I love watches but let's be real these are nothing more than flashy ornaments. Calling them investments is foolish.

Very decent entry level Swiss watches imo but there are better choices but if you like the look go for it
