The irony is, a tool watch like a Submariner is no longer a "worker's watch".
True 😢
I wear a £50 Rolex Submariner homage. Makes me feel like a great pretender.Which I am.
It never was a workers watch
A submariner is an "investment asset watch".
Tbh even a higher end G Shock is more fashion than utility now?
I have a super boring job and it can get depressing BUT I always feel better when I take a few seconds and look at my wrist watch! Thank you, Tag Hauer and Bulova!
Lmao
I think you should get another job if its too depressing. Life is short and will be mooore shorter if you are depressed everyday
I have worn my Timex Expedition for over 3 years now. I love it because it's straightforward, simple, but also tells me the date of the month. It helps me feel a bit rugged and adventurous. It was also a gift from my parents, so it has a lot of sentimental value especially now that my mom has passed.
I had the Timex Expedition Tide. I loved and regret giving it away
I wear an "old school" mechanical watch because it's a single function device. Basically I'm "giving the finger" to this overcomplicated, digital culture that is constantly running at faster and faster speeds. It does one thing...and something about that is rather elegant.
And tell me, what device are you watching this on? Where did you buy/research this watch?

This is basically an advert for selling watches. Women like a nice looking watch but most don't know much about them, so putting on an expensive watch is probably not going to impress her. And if it does then she is thinking about the wrong thing: money.
all of them @@allen_p
Who cares about what other people like or notice? It's what the wearer wants and likes. 😅
Ladies have to have their own money to be considered by me.
I think the video is more like how the watches makes the wearer feel, not what women think abt the watch you wear...
This is a video about the psychology effects of watches. This is not an alpha m. Video where did you get lost😂
I’ve been wearing my dads Rado Diastar Automatic for the last 20 years since he passed away,
Great watch and even greater meaning!
And you must be Indian? Because the Diastar is just so ubiquitous there, it's not even funny. Everyone there wears a gold Diastar if they have money.
@@g43654yes my parents are from that region ,
We settled in uk 🇬🇧 .
@@g43654Unfortunately there are a lot of cheap but rather good fakes too. Maybe even more than genuine ones !
Same here. Have my father's Diastar, and subsequently bought 5 other Rados. Lol, yeah I'm indian.
Not in Brazil.
Put on a watch like that, and just feel scared of getting mugged or kidnapped.
Brazil Not for beginners anyway💯🔥
@@sweetboi123 ....Poizé.
Facts. When I went I go Brazil I throw on my 20 dollar Casio digital.
A £10 Casio F-91W is all you really need, but there's a big difference between need and want.
💯 Its just so useful its hard to wear an expensive diver.
That watch is as useless as cheap! It looks amazing but it lacks a lot of features like a bezel that rotates
@@omarbegreen for 10 dollars dont expect a lot also it has some function to it
@@omarbegreenwhat use does a rotating bezel have that a cheap casio doesn't?
World time, not that model but others do
Dive time, just use the stopwatch or countdown timer
Plus many are solar and have atomic time
A bezel that rotates with a lume píp in case you need a countdown function and no hands free to push a button
My 60s mechanical Flica watch holds a bittersweet significance for me. It was my paternal grandmother's, a woman I never knew. She worked at the Geneve Flica factory before the quartz crisis and passed away when my dad was only 12. Her watch is the only link I have to her, and its ticking hands remind me to treasure the time I have before it too runs out. My dad gave it to me the day I got my technical degree as a touristic guide. I find talking about the watch and its history is a great way to connect with other watch enthusiasts and somehow sometimes it starts amazing and deep conversations about other topics with fascinating people.
This is the best 'trust me broo' I've heard so far thank you.
😂
This has SNL vibes when watching it 😂
I mean it's true, what you wear effects how you feel, and how you perceive yourself. Actors consider this when wearing their costumes and brands consider this when selling things to you.
@tahsina.c I don't think you're wrong per se.
In the past, there was probably a good statistical correlation between intelligence, competence, and dressing a certain way.
However today, so many people go out of their way to be flashy with wealth, independent of whether or not they are actually wealthy.
The simulation of the message has overcome the orignal message.
@@tahsina.cit's..... All an act
My late father's 1972 gold J W Benson is my ultimate dress watch. His once cherished possession deserves to be with me whenever I am dressed up in my best.
Aw man ❤ That's a very beautiful piece.. I wish to get my dad's Seiko fixed and watch him try and wear it again. I've been procrastinating it for a while but I think your comment gave me the push that someday it'll be late.
I purchased a $25 sport watch in 2020 and I have used it in super important events these 3 years. Travel to Europe, went to dates with it 😅, learning to drive… etc I still have it and I love it.
Timex or Casio?
@@dennischen8887 maybe Armitron?
That's what i did when i was 15/16 too! So much fun and so cheap you don't have to be all careful. Rock it😎
Is that Casio Royale?AE1200? Because I am using royale same as you do, even if I have 13 other watches😂
The fact is a watch is reminding you important situations in your life. That is important to you and gives you happiness and motivation.
Narcissists are the easiest people in the world to sell to. You just have to play to their pathological insecurities which is exactly what this presenter does.
The guy in this video is the best sales man I've seen in years.
Watches and watch collecting is a whole sub-culture going back Cartier or before.
If you're a car collector or guitar collector are you a Narcissist?
From $10.00 to 1 million dollars , if you like it and can afford it? What difference does it make?
If you collect Michael Jordan sneakers and only display them, or wear the reissues while having originals in a display case at home, you're a Collector.
Watches are just time pieces, including the newest Apple watch.
But it and wear it if you like it.
And those that argue that they're not narcissistic have a complex.
I dont agree that the watch people are narcissts but i agree that this salesman leans into the insecurties of men. I thought this video was going to be science based, studies on the effect of quickly looking at the time, but not your phone. Nope, just a dude trying to sell me something.
@@naturesfinest2408 you people are crazy he's literally just giving fashion advice
@@RobotronSage ahhhahaha okay
My parents bought me a children’s Timex and taught me how to tell time when I was only three years old and made me responsible for reporting home to them at required times. It made me feel mature all those decades ago when we were still free were free range children and all the other children were running wild and weren’t taught yet.
A watch is a statement piece to others that time is important to you... and (more importantly to me) to not waste mine. It is essential daily wear for any serious adult.
Lol not a watch person no wonder I am always late 🤣🤣

True. Anytime I am wearing my Omega Moonwatch, I am feeling victorious. This is why I would wear it to any important event. When putting on my Seiko Arnie, I feel like an Action hero. Which is why this is my choice for the Gym. I love this 😎👍🏻🦅

The percentage of Rolex Submariners used to dive must be around 0.00005%
That's true.
I have a sub and it a daily driver and goes to the pool or the beach on occasion.
And the irony is that the submariner doesn't even meet ISO 6425
@ZetroDrummer
So what!
Fact, most luxury sports/dive watches are in the same boat. People are free to buy whatever they want, because they want it period.
The Submariner is the standard that all sports watches are compared to.
It is an iconic piece that long ago became a go anywhere do anything watch. Rolex has no problem selling either.
It does seem to bother you quite a bit.
What you and other Rolex hating fan-boys should do is buy whatever the hell you want. Without feeling the need to throw shade, when others do just that.
@@cartesian_doubt6230
And your point is what?
@cartesian_doubt6230
Yes because they have a date window at 3oclock instead of a lume marker. Which the no date solve the problem.
Not because of anything else.
You try to imply, they are substandard with your comment.
Relegating you to the I hate Rolex fan- boy club.
Nowadays a watch is just an accessory to your outfit, we all carry a phone that tells time and date. Personally I own one do it all watch, which I keep changing the straps to match the outfit, occasion and personal mood. It’s fun and surprisingly women notice it and give positive feedback.
I wasn’t a watch wearer, and then a good friend of mine gave me a Rolex for Christmas two years ago. I first didn’t feel worthy of such a thing, but hey guess what - now I’m a watch guy!
You got good friends 😂
@@aantigatavernabloody good friends.
Mine gave me a Cadbury’s Crème Egg. I couldn’t tell the time with it, but it tasted nice
@@PhilbyFavouritesThey taste so nice that I lick the inside of the foil .
If a friend gave me a Rolex for Christmas I would have so mamy questions I wouldn't know which one to ask first.
"Bro, did you steal it? "
"Are you gay?"
"if you're not gay then why are you trying to get in my pants?"
"How much can I get for this at the pawnbroker?"
"Is it ok if I just buy you a beer for Christmas?"
"What outfit do i wear to match the watch and can you lend me money to buy it?"
"Does this mean I have to join the yacht club?"
You get the idea.
@@DasGigPig Since you asked, I took a chance and hired him as a young leader years ago and coached & developed him to become a very high level manager that he is today. Him nor I are gay, but he has a high level of appreciation for me helping him advance in his career. He gave me a Rolex out of respect for the help I’ve given him and his family to live the life they have today.
Mine is 10 yrs old or more. I'm a girl. It's a nice men's metal watch, blue face. Patients always give me compliments on it. It is way better to glance at it than pulling out a phone to check the time. I feel naked without my watch and diamond stud earrings.
This is the best, intelligent introduction to the joys and categories of watch that I have yet heard - bravo!
No, it's pompous BS that sounds intellectual. This video sucks.
A watch is one of the most personal items we have and experiences all that we experience. I have a number of vintage watches to the 1920s to 1960s that I love and even wear. I wish they could talk, telling the good, the bad, the sad and so much more, of the former owner(s) and their experiences. I feel a connection just holding them.
I concur. There is a sharp psychological contrast between my Hamilton Khaki Aviation and my Omega Seamaster 300. The Hammy is for 'tooling' around, where the Omega is about business and when writing big cheques.
Watches are very educational. The first watch I ever bought for myself prompted a formative (for me) discussion with my mother about our different philosophies about fiscal responsibility, specifically our personal views on the nature of risk evaluation when deciding whether to make an investment.
😂 this comment needs more appreciation
@@a04828450 I think I might have been in snooty mode when I wrote it. Sorry for that. At least it's entertaining.
Excellent description, whenever I wear my Tudor I feel taller
Me too! (Ranger).
Awesome presentation sir! For me personally (ADHD person with loads of anxiety) my watch gives me the perception of doable tasks using short timers and alarms. Many people think that the hourly chimes is obsolete or useless but not for me. Time limits or other dictate sometimes dictate the path to wholeness and completion. I proudly use a Casio AE-1500 with big digits and 5 alarms as well as Smith & Wesson Cadet as my reality checking tools. I totally enjoyed your presentation.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your personal experience! We're glad to hear that the video resonated with you.
Some people don't think about it, just buy a watch and wear it to tell the time. Simple!
Same. I agree. In German we say to Such a speech "Dummquatsch" 😅
This kind of BS language is typical of high net worth marketing. If the presenter was wearing a Motörhead T-shirt, sat in a garage telling you this, you wouldn’t believe him.
What he's talking about is subconscious choice not conscious choice, if you like it or not you are making these types of decisions with what you wear. Your watch to just tell the time then tells everyone that you don't care about superficial things but it's still saying that to other people.
The same type of logic with the presenter wearing a motor head t shirt in the garage instead and you not believing him is exactly what the presenter is trying to say about your choice of watch and what it tells people about you subconsciously. But no you don't have to give a shit about what people think of you subconsciously
Wearing a military hack watch makes me feel like Jason Bourn
A watch is a small machine that counts. No one really cares about *_your_* watch except you. Wear what you like and what you can afford and have some fun along the way.
Excellent clip. Thanks for putting the effort into producing something as interesting and engaging. 👏🏻
When I see a dude with a wristwatch and he checks the time on his phone. I know that dude has no idea what he's doing. He has no clue how to utilize his tools.
Sold my Rolex after just a few months. I carry my mobile phone everywhere. There’s a clock on my computer when I work. There’s a wall clock when I’m at home. I don’t need a watch so I don’t wear one now. I only wear a Casio when I go to the gym or running because I don’t want to carry my phone. I also don’t wear any jewellery including my wedding ring. Nothing feels better than not wearing anything on your body.
I can relate. I haven’t worn a watch on a daily basis in years - thanks to my smartphone. But the reason I’m watching these watch videos is because I’m interested in start wearing it again. I’m starting to understand how they can improve one’s appearance through a simple touch.
True with any kind of watch, even the basic ones : I remember in the end of the 90s I had to make conferences in front of a lot of people, and I was not really comfortable with that. Then I remembered a teacher I had a year before who was handling the class with a lot of decontraction and humor, I bought the same watch as he used to wear, a simple Swatch irony, and then I succeeded all my presentations. 😂.
Time is relative. Get rid of your clocks and watches and observe the impact on your overall anxiety. If you have already developed a routine you may find you feel better.
Every man should wear a watch...
When I first got into watches, I would be very strict about what kind of outfit to wear with a certain kind of watch, plus the color coordination between the strap and the outfit. Now I just throw it all out the window and have fun with a watch that contrasts with the outfit.
Like he said, you gotta learn the rules in order to break them
G-Shock fits in most situation except a very formal wear. That's why I chose G-Shock
I hope you still match your metals???
level of overthinking here..
My £17 Casio watch ⌚️ has stopped my wrist getting burnt when I am welding several times and still tells the time,week after weeks year after year and I still have thousands in the bank 😅😅😅

I knew a man who was beyond eccentric. And he had a watch to match his outlandish persona. The watch was encrusted with gaudy gold nuggets. It screamed, ‘This is who I am!,’ and it was!

Best watch etiquette explanation I've seen
I used to strictly wear analog watches and shun digital ones but now I've realized how versatile personal style can really be if you just wear something you like that just works with your outfit. I'm a big fan if Casio watches now and I have a few if the classics including two Royales; one for boys nights, one for work. I still rock my nicer pieces on nights out and at weddings but I'm never afraid to put on my green calculator watch just to have a timepiece. Wear your watch, dont let it wear you.
Yep, it's good to be able to select a watch to reflect a particular 'mood'!
I wear a Gshock DW5600 every day as a fabricator and it is BEAT up but still ticks the day away. It feels nice having a faithful companion on my wrist that keeps me accountable.

As adhd person, a watch really helps. Received my first one from polo at 12 years old, functioning for 14 years.
Honestly me too and i have adhd, we are mistakenly judged as narcissists and insecure like wtf... i am obsessed with time, wearing a watch makes me feel safe and punctual.

My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us!
Bro is waiting for someone to ask him "sell me this pen"
A watch that can tell “What Are You Make Of” Truely Agreed. Thank You Mr.Nicholas Learn a lot of knowledge from you.
Many thanks!
I started wearing watches again when I realized that everytime I looked at my phone just to find the time, the phone sucked me in, whether it was briefly or extended. Putting a watch back on kept my intentions in line with my action. When I want to know what time it is, I can find out without any distraction.
I lost my favorite watch recently. it hurts equally to heart break. except I accepted it when I realized I didn't have it anymore. I can't believe it's gone. I had a limited edition commodore Bulova for woman, it was a salmon with light blue or navy hands with the lighting. I had a whole year with it. I still have others. but it's insane how close you get to this. I Plan on saving up for a Cartier now. I actually was going to get a Cartier but then said nvm. let me get something else since cartier didn't have any in store. I had to buy one online and I could've but didn't cause I chose fate. so I said okay I'll go buy somewhere else. I like to do this alot with my life but yeah. I got to Macys saw this watch and fell in love. I just want to know am I normal for liking a thing that tells the time? hopefully I get the cartier in 5 years. I want to save 1 grand a year. I secretly have hope this watch will come back to me. I know its mine its just living somewhere else. I dont mind I lost It cause someone at least will take care of it like me. I just love watches and I know who ever found it got lucky. a time piece AHHH id be happy too not going to lie. anyway sorry goodnight everyone.
I wonder whether this is also something that signifies that you’re a working adult. We have a new coworker, 24 years old, and she said that she felt like buying a watch now because everyone here had a watch around their wrist. No one of us wears expensive watches, it’s just the fact that we have them in an era, where people could read the time on a cellphone.
I‘ve never noticed.
This is so good, yet so, so overdone. A bit like the watch industry itself 😅
Yes, we could have quite a long discussion of those aspects.
I starting wearing watches as a teenager, and loved it. When my second watch broke it felt really weird not to have it, but I decided to go on for a while without a watch. 20+ years later, I still don't want to wear a watch again. My mobile devices and PCs I work on show the time, and it's enough. :) Besides, there are obvious reasons not to wear one: I can't scratch or break what I don't wear, it doesn't draw the attention of bad people, it doesn't heat against or cause sweat on my skin, it doesn't create the habit of constantly checking it for no good reason (including to show it off), etc.

I had a G-Shock G-9000 Mudman for last 8 years and i can assure you - it was the best instrument I ever had and I'll definitely upgrade to Gw-9500 mudman for job reasons, but im sure I'll grab one Casio Octagon for casual outfit and everyday activities. Not a fan of classical watch, but i was absolutely stunned when i saw 4000 dollars mechanical watch.
I like mostly quartz, large steel diver's, or pilot's or military field watches, with black faces and simple numerals or indices. Otherwise brightly backlit black digital watches. Nurse's watches also intrigue me. My epic klutziness means that mere mortals like prissy dress watches need not apply.
A watch is my reminder that time works for me, not the other way around. By being aware of it, I can better control how I spend it and thus be in control of time.
Would love this guy to give us a run down on signet rings!
When people are saying #amzwatch is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!
Thank you so much for your comment!
I love my Apple Watch because it offers a great utility… And I can customize it as much as I want… I know that old school watcher are nice (and they are indeed awesome) but I find utility the most important thing. 👏🏻⌚️
Apple watch is not a watch it's a gadget cuz it dies if you forget to charge it 😢
I will not call that Apple thing a 'watch'. Mini computer worn on the wrist.
Watches are so much important than we think. I noticed that when I was giving information to groups pf people.
I love watches simply because of their function which is useful to me at anytime and have been wearing smartwatches for 5+ years as it connects to my phone where I have more options to what it can do- log workouts, control audio, see calendar etc.. I also appreciate the aesthetic as well, a timeless accessory
There’s also the psychology of the memories that you make with the watch as well! I have a photo of my late grandma and I getting my daily wear watch to celebrate my graduating college. Now I feel like I take a little bit of her everywhere I go (even when I wear what is a yachting watch with that same rule-breaking suit as mentioned) and in that way she still shares in the fun in a small way too. God willing I make it to bee-keeping age and my kiddo gets to inherit the piece and make their own memories with it. Right after I have it serviced of course because chances are I’ll have worn the heck out of by then…
Never doubt the power of something that seems so utilitarian in the moment to become something far more sentimental later on. 😎

Love my Patek, Seiko 5, G-shock, Fossil, swatch, JLC, Ulysses. Still I wear with at which time I feel like to pick it. All of it are good conversations starter. And at any time I wear whcihever I want never feel like a different man

This is true when I wear my Rolex with my suit it adds an extra boost of confidence. For me I’ve always loved dressing up and it was an attire that was a great confident booster but the Rolex with it added an extra kick that fits well.

My daily driver is a Vostok Amphibia. It can take a beating and I’ve only ever encountered one other person wearing one in the wild. I work in a marine environment so i appreciate the water resistance. And despite it being a cheap diver, it keeps good time and looks damn good since I’ve modded it.
Thanks for sharing!
As an athlete, nothing screams I don’t plan on working out more than a sports watch 😂
What's wrong with wearing one to the gym?
@@Animaduniversum Sports watches usually have poor water resistance and I'd not want to be sweating all over a nice sports watch.
To me, sports watches are for those watching sports and less about those engaging in sporting activities. For going to the gym, I'd prefer a cheap little waterproof beater, like a low end Casio.
Poor water resistance? I guess you haven’t worn a “sports” watch since the 1970s. And why don’t you give us a few examples of a “sports” watch.
@@GS-vb3zn Did you watch this video? You'd need to in order to know the context of the term _"sports_ _watch"_ being used here.
Traditional mechanical chronographs. Which typically have poor water resistance.
There are current model mechanical chronograph "sports watches" from Longines, Junghans, Mido, Seagull, Frederique Constant, IWC, TAG Heuer, IWC, Omega, Zenith, Breitling, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, etc, which have between 30m and 50m water resistance.

Those who rely on their phones for the time, are missing out “big time.”
Wearing a watch gives me a sense of purpose, and accountability. My favourite are “Field” and “GMT” watches.
Have always liked military/expedition gear, as it’s usually high spec.
I wear a watch for time keeping. I don't need it to have a sense of purpose and accountabilty. I can achieve them without wearing one.
@@nobat6351
I’m not gunna chase rabbits. The purpose of a watch is to help us keep to a schedule. That is accountability. I use my watch in order to arrive at work on time (schedule). Why? Because I’m accountable to my employer.
So my watch is a tool, that I use daily.
I wear a timex; it's battery-powered, analogue, relatively accurate and easy to read. It gets the jobdone.
Impressive!
But I use pocket watch every day.
I have an old Casio i call Thunderprow.
It saw me through decades of my life and weve dived reefs and wrecks together.
Its had so many parts replaced at this point that it earned the name.
Always a great story to tell about an unassuming cheap watch, and it gives me confidence.
I used to wear watch when I was young also since there were no phones. But I stopped being used to something constraining my wrist and also not sure I'd want to be permanently reminded of time, or even worse notifications (in case of smart watch)
But it does look cool
Not just watches but clothes and the soap you use too
Got my old seiko kinetic recased and banded with my stored, brand new 27yr spares for my sons wedding. Looked slick and unreal. Ive now reversed back to the scratched beatup kit and love it just the same!
Dude, I've been wearing a wristwatch ever since I was a kid, cheap or expensive doesn't really matter to me. It should tell me the time right. I've worn all sorts of watches, quartz to Gshock to Selfwinding to ecodrive to rolex n all. I just want it to tell me the time right. I prefer stainless steel bracelets over anything. Don't care what I'm wearing.
I don't think you don't care what you are wearing if you have a rolex, otherwise you would just stick to casios and JCpenney watches
By watch standards I am not in the rich set. But all my Fossil, Skagen, Citizens, and Seiko are conversation starters. If It didn't catch my eye at first glance. It's not worth buying. My 30-35 watches were each bought on momentous occasions in my life. Some serve as a testament to my resilience. Even bought a watch out of a redundancy payment - I wore it 3 weeks later to some interviews and got the job I wanted. I wore it during MBA exams and passed - just looking at it Makes me wonder what's next on my journey. Watches inspire me to dream big and aim higher.
Possibly one of the most important videos on all of RUclips ✌️😄
I rotate my watches, as get bored with the same watches after one day, for example, I’ll wear one watch in the daytime, in the evening at the pub - another, it doesn’t effect my personality in any way, and wouldn’t get me noticed.
How often are you supposed to get a new battery for your watch mine always die within a couple years
"This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-granddaddy. It was bought during the First World War in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was bought by private Doughboy Ernie Coolidge the day he set sail for Paris. It was your great-granddaddy's war watch, made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. You see, up until then, people just carried pocket watches. Your great-granddaddy wore that watch every day he was in the war. Then when he had done his duty, he went home to your great- grandmother, took the watch off his wrist and put it in an ol' coffee can. And in that can it stayed 'til your grandfather Dane Coolidge was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War Two. Your great-granddaddy gave it to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Your granddad was a Marine and he was killed with all the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death and he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin' that island alive. So three days before the Japanese took the island, your 22-year old grandfather asked a gunner on an Air Force transport named Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he had never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your grandfather was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad's gold watch. This watch. This watch was on your Daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp. Now he knew if the gooks ever saw the watch it'd be confiscated. The way your Daddy looked at it, that watch was your birthright. And he'd be damned if any slopeheads were gonna put their greasy yella hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide somethin'. His ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you."
I love wearing watches from Rado,Ball,to Omega and Zodiac ooh im such a show off😅
I like my old trusty windup timex....it fluctuates a bit, like life, but steady on.
I used to wear watches in my youth growing up in the U.K. Then the technology of cell phones and smartphones made me abandon wearing watches..especially after moving to the States. Now, in my late 40s, I returned to this classic art of watch wearing back in 2019 when I made a visit back home to London and bought my first dress watch there in decades - a Sekonda! It's my favorite timepiece to this day and is what started my growing watch collection!!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful journey back into the world of watches!
I also pick out my underwear daily… and wear it against my body… and it makes no difference at all about how I feel. lol this video is trying way to hard to be taken seriously.
Idk about you but I definitely feel better having my nuts cradled by Calvin Kleins than Tesco's own brand with holes and vague skid marks if you look close enough. If I'm going out I'm treating myself to some nice pants 👈😎👈
Wearing my Tissot PR50 makes me feel like a lower-middle class truck driver, so I agree. Had it for 14 years, took it apart and cleaned it 2 years ago. Runs 2 minutes fast after about 2 weeks.
My tool watch is my Sinn U1 blue face. It’s been with me for 5-6 years and it fits me and my personality perfectly most days. It weight just under 1/2 pound and is bullet proof.
When I like to dress up, I wear my Grand Seiko Snowflake on a stingray strap. These two watches are nearly polar opposite in their design, use and appearance but they fit my personality perfectly.
My grail ultra dress watch would be a A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia thin.
Apparently, showing up at a black-tie event in a tux - but picking the _wrong kind_ of Rolex to go with it - is the sort of provocative social statement that gets someone labeled as a 'maverick'.
I am amazed, and appreciate this video letting me know about this: I had kind of assumed that degree of sartorial snobbery had died out with the Robber Barons.
When I see someone waring a Rolex I think sheep,stereotype,dull,knows nothing about watches,look at my wealth,and dull.
Out of all the wonderful watches the world you wear the "Rolex"
The articulation is very unique and original..well put
Thank you so much for your kind words!
