Topic: What watch are you wearing - Rolex Fan here ! (Read 149 times)
I don't wear any watches at all. I do not like posh, fancy things. I'm actually for the little consumption theory. This world does not need our watches or clothes, it needs our compassion, logic and rationality.
Just wanna be part of the topic but can afford of having those though wayback in secondary grades i use to have Swatch watches and then after i was given a Timex by my uncle
But today since i have a family to feed and bring to school I don’t need expensive watches so i am using TOMATO watches ,yes they are cheaper but good quality lol

Right now, The most expensive watch I have is a Limited Oris Dizzy Gillespie named after the famous Jazz musician, I love Jazz and Watches so this made the mix I bought it Pre-loved in Japan. I bought mine through savings when I was a student and with a mix of my first paychek. In my country watches are very very expensive so it's practical to purchase outside the country, I was able to buy it $750 but I'm happy since it's money I earned. I just graduated and in my first job when I bought it so it was the most I can afford.
Damn, I wish I had at least own one Rolex watch in my lifetime, lol.
Anyways, I can't really afford that watch, it's too expensive for me, and I'm a fan of G-Shock as well and have some collections, but I quickly dispose then and sell and then get the newest model. I have some Tag as well, but my favorite is my everyday G-Shock watch.
But if given the chance and if I have the money, I will but a Rolex.

actually i'm not a watch maniac, but wear smth from time to time. as for now, my choice is G-Shock GA-120 Black
Dunhill chronometer. It's interesting because it looks as if it is gold, but it has a silver hallmark. It doesn't have any of those fancy dials either.
Actually I'm not wearing ti at the moment, as I'm travelling around, and trying to sort out a load of things, so I don't want to smash it.

Hey,
I'm hanging around this forum a lot.
Most of the conversations are either about BTC (it makes sens haha !!) or in Meta about " spammers, Plagiarizer /Lauda/Mafia/Merit/DT/ cryptohunter/ TECSHARE/ ....." drama (Pick one!!) or about the flatearth or about the VAXX or about US politics.
I have a feeling that we could talk about something else, like people's passions. Mine are watches !!!!
I'll use a quote from Cøbra to illustate my point.
I have one passion outside of BTC : Watches !
None of the photos used on this topic are from me.
To prevent someone from DOXING me (using my photos in google to find me on the social media) i have "borrowed" those photos from the internet.
Those watches are however exactly like the ones i have owned.
My passion all started when i was 8 years old and my mom bought me a flik flak
I loved it !!
Then at 14 and i asked my mom to buy me a swatch.
Then at my 18th i got a Seiko quartz (nothing fancy).
I was hooked !! I told myself that if i could i would indulge me with nice watches.
Fast forward the end of university, with my first few pay checks i bought a Rolex GMT IIC, this was in 2010 (long before learning about BTC).
This a photo of an identical watch :
I've worn this watch daily for 8 years, doing some scuba diving, mountain biking, traveling .... taking thousands of photos.
I sold it in November 2018
But since i was a watch afficonados, one wasn't enought, i bought an Omega Speedmaster premoon, it was in 2012. Back then they were affordable. They have now double in value!
Photo of the exact same watch :
The Omega speedmaster is the 1st to have been on the moon, omega started to use this as a selling point from 1970 and it is on the back of the watch.
My model was made the same year as the one from appolo 11.
My omega could have been the one on the moon. I sold after owning for 1 year. I made a small Fiat profit.
Then I bought a Breitling, i Paid in Fiat, I didn't wear it much so i decided to sell it.
And this is were it become interesting. I sold that Bretling in 2013 for BTC (approximately 7 BTC).
Moving forward, Bull run of 2017, and the money i put aside for a "new watch" (at this point i only had the GMT Rolex left) start to grow and be huge.
I decided to sell 1.5BTC to buy a new Rolex, a white gold Daytona :
This is the model. This is the best watch i ever owned (so far).
October 2018 / november 2018 The bear market settles in, i decided to sell the GMT II C and the Daytona for more BTC.
I was able to sell the watches for more money than what i paid (Fiat) but also for more BTC than what i have spent (1.5BTC to buy the daytona, got 6 BTC when i sold it).
So now, i don't have a Rolex anymore, it doesn't bother me.
A family member gifted me the Apple watch 4 for Xmas, it is nice and fun.
But here is the catch, i'm already eyeing a new watch : the Audemard Piguet Roayal Oak Offshore.
So, guys and girl, what are you wearing ?
Am i the only crazy one about watches ?

The bigger a forum gets, and the more niche and limited the topic, the less there is to actually discuss. Aside from the usual "who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" type posts, and the day-to-day price movements and happenings, there's not a lot of things to talk about. There's more people on here than possible discussion material. You get people who care a lot about their rank and making money just posting nonsense, but if you banned all of these people, there wouldn't be more quality discussion, there would be about the same as before, but you would just notice it more because all the crap is gone. When you lurk for a while though you quickly develop a sense of which topics and sections are good parts of the site.
It's a little crazy how a lot of users on here care about magic internet points though. Maybe there is some psychological thing about a fascination with points, because it seems to be a thing on every social platform. I remember how even decades old forum software had those reputation points, Reddit has karma, Facebook has likes, etc. It's like nobody builds anything social without some sort of point system attached so users can compare the length of their virtual dicks. Maybe this explains how Bitcoin caught on so well when it was unknown, because it was pretty nice and somehow satisfying to own a lot of useless internet currency, but the more people thought that way the less useless and more valuable it eventually became.
