The UN look sharp with the metal band, but the rubber band is out of the question. If you’re dropping that kind of coin on a watch, would you really want a rubber band on it? The Bell&Ross isn’t bad looking, but I don’t care for the look of the bezel on it. Where’s Johnny Lude on this thread? ---

Not nearly as baller or flashy, but I like the Montblanc Star Steel Chronograph with the carbon face. But I’m a Mb humper. ---

IWC Big Pilot [/thread] Zenith has some super bad-ass looking watches and is was recently taken over by LVMH which suits your conspicuous consumption habits perfectly it appears. They have some sick movements and totally ill-looking watches. [http://www.zenith-watches.com/index2.html](http://www.zenith-watches.com/index2.html) I myself just started a collection this year. i purchased a vintage Omega from the 60’s as a dress watch, wearing it now, and purchased a Chenevard Skeleton watch that looks way more baller than it actually is. ![http://www.lothar-luebbe.homepage.t-online.de/////E-bay%20Uhren/Chenevard%20Vollskelett/Chenevard_Skeleton_03b.jpg](http://www.lothar-luebbe.homepage.t-online.de/////E-bay%20Uhren/Chenevard%20Vollskelett/Chenevard_Skeleton_03b.jpg) As i was telling Josh and Kyle the other day, it looks nice but there are a variety of features of the watch that lead me to beleive it’s just a cheapo china-watch despite coming from Germany the hour and second hands are not aligned properly, the band is wearing prematurely and some of the design cues are totally superfluous. i also had to have both the Omega and the Skeleton watch serviced immediately which added to the costs quite a bit. Servicing watches isnt always cheap, i have to pay $80 because there is no one else that i can find to do it. Do not buy a quartz, battery powered watch. If you do you’re a fag. yeah they keep better time and they dont require any servicing but an EG hatch gets way better mileage than a Porsche 911 and who the fuck cares. buy awesome shit to make stupid people wish they were’nt poor, but they are so fuck them stupid poor losers. ---

read up it is a posuer switch to make the rich a-holes think they are fighter pilots. It is to trigger the chronograph. pilots needed it cause it was too hard to hit the button while wearing gloves. ---

[quote=“JoesTypeS,post:22,topic:34295"”] High(er) end watches have value, specifically trade in value and more importantly they’re discounted differently from dealer to dealer…I post prices because someone (like JohnnyLude) might say they know a dealer who sells for less. Buying a higher end watch is the same as buying a car, sticker and selling price is very important…Except watches hold their value better than cars These aren’t even expensive watches…they’re honestly entry level luxury watches…look at what dan posted…$100K isn’t even top level [/quote] Holy fuck. I dunno man…$4800+ for a watch is $4700 more than I would pay lol. ---

IMHO there are only 4 types of jewelry that it is acceptable for a man to wear: Wedding band Watch Cufflinks Pen When you get to watches like these, they’re more jewelery than watch. If your old lady can roll around town with big dollar rings on her fingers, why can’t Joe wear an f-bod on his wrist? ---
