A watch isn't even about telling time anymore really, your iphone or a $2 quartz casio is going to keep more accurate time than a Rolex.

However, a watch is the only acceptable form ofjewellery for a man (apart from a wedding ring).

It's kind of a hobby and a watch is the only jewelry I wear.

BTW even fukcing Barristas wear Rolex nowadays.Even stupid chicks with no knowledge in Watch know a Rolex.Some people would take a credit to buy one and try to appear for what they are not.The brand has become absolutely vulgar.

Baume & Mercier crew checking in : Classica automatic, cost me around 1500€ and that's the most I will ever put in a Watch.

I might buy an IWC Portugieser when I turn 30 but I doubt I would keep it long, I've never been much of a watch guy to begin with.

I would rather sput 10K on a deposit for a hot car (Alfa Romeo 4C, F-Type) than on a Rolex, a Breitling or whatever.

Lol at you, peasants.

If you want a nice watch, my advice is to save a few more years before looking at buying an actual peer watch -- and I am not talking about the Rolex Daytona.

I see thousands of young professionals commit the grave mistake of buying Tag Heuers, Breitlings, Baume Merciers, and of course, the watch that labels you an instant rube: the Rolex Daytona. It's comical to see attorneys with Omega Seamasters or other nautically themed watches because a majority of them can't even swim, much less do deep diving (poon diving doesn't count here) or sea exploration. Unless you are a pilot, wearing a Breitling Navitimer is as ridiculous as you showing up to court in a flight suit.

Same goes for a Rolex Daytona: unless you are a professional race car driver or know how to read a tachymetre, wearing such a watch makes you look like an unsophisticated novice to the scions you are trying to impress. Sure these watches may impress hookers, strippers and hoi polloi, but in my eyes you will be instantly discredited.

If you want to dress the part, do away with the millennial popular option of the Apple Watch or other digital fitbit watches. Let's face it, you are not an athlete or training for the Olympics. While folks have different tastes, you cannot go wrong with the following watch makers:

1) Patek Philippe;
2) Audemars Piguet;
3) Breguet; and,
4) Jaeger-LeCoultre

If you are on a budget and need validation for your success, I suppose you can get a Rolex Daytona that is DATELESS. The dateless feature is key.At a minimum, with this watch you can carry on as a watch purist poseur. If you want to follow the herd, just get the standard Rolex Daytona which will show successful individuals that you are just an average follower of watch trends. Also, don't be shocked if every other person who sees your Rolex asks you "is that real?" since the Chinese have nearly perfected the counterfeit market on Rolexes.

Personally, I own three Patek Philippes, including a 1917 pocket watch. My current watch (that's on my wrist right now) is a Patek Philippe Nautilus, which I have owned since 1989. Remember, the watch brands I recommended are not fashion statements, they are legacy pieces.

OP you never walked in at a beach bar leaning towards the barkeeper ordering two Tequila shots paying with your watch hand and hear a sweet voice from the left "Is that a Rolex you're wearing?".
Then you look to your left and see that stunner sitting there smiling at you and you just smile back and say "Ye I have one shot left".

Got these 2............

You've been talking about pateks in this thread as if they are possible for someone to buy who wants what you consider a 'nice' watch.

Peteks cost upwards of $70,000, same goes for Audemars.

If someone has a patek on and it ain't a rep then they have serious money.

Also to buy a Patek in the first place you have to apply to buy it, you can't just buy one at the drop of a hat.

For someone who wants a nice watch that is high end and somewhat affordable, you can't go wrong with the Standard Submariner or an Omega Speedmaster.

8 to 12 grand on a watch is nothing to sneeze at. The Submariner and Daytona are both classic pieces that have stood the test of time for a reason, they are great designs.

As for getting a Daytona WITHOUT the date feature as you suggest, that shouldn't be too difficult as Rolex has never produced a Daytona with a date.

Can we please see your 89 Nautilus "Legacy Piece"? I'm guessing it's two-tone so you probably a little embarrassed to show it.

Lol Tudor is a sub brand of Rolex and have been making dive watches together since the original submariner was released. Idk if I would call the Pelagos a cheap knock off anyways. Just lol

Also had a Rolex sub a few years back and just was not impressed with it.

Lol at you, peasants.

I would disagree
His vision reminds me of that fat slob Archieluxury on youtube

I would like to pick up a Rolex. I'm just too scared to walk into the Rolex store and accidentally pick out a 50k watch and have to discreetly act like I'm not interested so they don't think I'm some peasant

You seem to have a really refinded taste. I'm very curious... what kind of car do you drive and what brands of clothes do you wear? And what car and clothing brands would you recommend to white collar professional who is closer to average than "10k a day?"

Thank you for your PM reminding me of your post. My inbox has been flooded with PMs, so I have been slow to respond. (Don't let BigRangs fool you, most of the misc is open minded and open to guidance from a seasoned peer male. It appears that only BigRangs is content with remaining an aspirational rube.)

I may create a separate thread to respond to your questions. For now I will give you this:

(a) as for a car, I don't own one as I am in Manhattan. But again, go for something timeless and practical, recognizing that cars are depreciating assets. Do not, I repeat, do be a novice and buy some entry-level "status" car, such as the BMW 3 Series.

(b) as for clothes, are you interested in business or casual? Whatever you do, do not buy business attire off the rack. Shirts should always be custom made and tailored to your size. Avoid the ultra slim look as this is a temporary fad. Remember the old adage: "Dress for the job you want." (e.g., in government, if you aspire to be a GS-16, continue wearing your stained chinos and weathered rockport shoes). I have seen some undiscerning new professionals wear dress pants that are either hiked up or resemble women's capris. These same tasteless louts sport queer and flamboyant colored, or puerile patterned socks. AVOID THIS FAUX FASHION FAD!!!

Being from Britain, your idea of dignified dress likely consists of a puerile pink tie with a double windsor knot, buttoned down collar, ultra-slim-fit slacks to accentuate your posterior for the viewing pleasure of other homos, and maybe brushing your teeth. Unless you work in the square mile, nothing you can possibly say is worth a response.

The world economy is one of specialization. Consequently, your contributions may be more productive in threads about how to pinch your nose and rail a 3/10 woman, as that is an area of expertise which you likely possess give your U.K upbringing.

lol Everytime he posts I imagine this kid that does the hilarious reviews

Please don't ever compare Reviewbrah the God to this mullet *******

I understand that you are agitated that I called you out for bragging about your Daytona. Perhaps I was too harsh on you. For someone on a budget, I would advise them to procure a Daytona over many of the supposed "luxury watches" typically sported by rude naives. (I detest folks who buy watches that have no horological history or value. I have seen my supposed peers wearing Breitlings, Tag Heuers, Cartiers, Omegas, IWCs that are completely puerile. The average Breitling watch wearer for example, doesn't know how to employ the chronograph features or can't even tell you the model of watch they have (it irks me when someone supposedly on my status level can't tell the difference between a Superocean, Navitimer and a Chronomat).)

That being said, being called out and embarrassed as I did to you should serve as a lesson. You childishly attempted to impress what you thought would be unsophisticated bumpkins on the misc with your Daytona. Unbeknownst to you, there were connoisseurs lurking in this thread who instantly identified you and called you out as a poseur. This is an illustration of what I have been trying to convey this whole time: your Daytona will impress only hookers and "bros," but it will instantly discredit you among scions and other individuals whose opinions are worth caring about.

Just be thankful you were able to learn this lesson and weather this embarrassment on an internet forum, rather than in real life. From what I can tell, the worst that has happened to you is that you have been made to look like a buffoon on this message board (I have numerous people messaging me and "loling" about how I "rekt" you, but I don't take any pleasure in this), and this embarrassment has clearly agitated you. If this happened in real life, the results would be much more severe. (You may think I am exaggerating, but I have witnessed aspirational rubes ostracized to such an extreme that they have taken their own lives.)
