single
time:
Bvlgari: "Thanks but did you know that Bvlgari is one of the leading in house manufacturers in the market and make really high end stuff…"
Zegna: "Thanks but did you know they're made by GP so they're serious watches…"
RL: "Thanks but did you know that Ralph Lauren is a huge watch enthusiast so he didn't cut corners when he decided to make watches…"
They have to let everyone know that they are SO into watches that they've moved to the less popular brands. Reminds me of the beer ****s that have to let everyone know that the micro brew their drinking is aged for 3.14159 years in aged oak barrels from the trees from supposed site of the garden of eden and the barrels are sealed with unicorns jizz that gives it a clean, herby finish.

However, the people I have met with those watches have been cool, and I was the one who asked about them. So Anecdotes are of no use.
I personally find wellhungfella pretty funny, its just satire/trolling on the snobbyness of this hobby.

Need input on this watch guys, refnr and caliber seems legit. Original dial and crown as far as I can tell. Should i pull the trigger? Will probably sell for around 350.

The part from the movie where he basically told r. smith to **** off with his handmade watch because it wasn't good enough was telling.

That could be reflections, but it's hard to see in these pics. Paint on their sides would indicate a redial though. But even in that case, $350 is a not a bad price for it.

Looking for 1 last watch. I have narrowed down my search to 4 pieces, currently these are 2 of the pieces I am lusting over right now.
Both completely different, but they caught my eye and are the right size for my poocey little wrists
IWC Portuguese Chrono 41.5mm
Panerai Radiomir PAM 512 42mm (The only Panerai I could see myself owning)
Which would you guys take?
The Panerai luminor would to big for me.

Had to triple check that there wasnt a hidden date window on that IWC to ruin it. You got some solid watch taste.

Some beautiful watches in this thread, congrats on wealth.
For members of poverty crew, are Orient Makos decent divers or would Seiko etc be more reliable/durable? Anybody with medium-small wrists got any pics?
