I need to learn to find a way to appreciate them more. I can’t get comfortable with them.
(Nice that we are back talking about watches again).
If you're looking for a forum where topics don't get derailed, you haven't found the place for you.

Re: Quick introduction from a forum noob

Welcome aboard, and beware Unicorn Guy. His name is Pony Boy Ruben. I bet that dude really regrets accepting the $250, or whatever, to partake in that photoshoot. The best part of it is that he looks like a tough guy in real life. I can't find it now, but I once found a normal picture of him and he...

Careful with the quotes. It's should be

That's particularly important on this forum, due to the nested quoting feature.

The bezels are so prone to scratches. I'd never have one on a cheap watch -- way too sensitive.

Also, you asked why I thought this was AI generated -- it's because you did such a good job on the formatting.

Welcome bud. There are a lot of G-Shock/Grand Seiko fans on the forum. Lot's of ballers too, but we're a friendly bunch -- if you can take a joke, which it seems you can.

Err, no, it’s not spam. I just posted it. Does spam look like a watch review?! Who benefits? This forum has had a bunch of AI generated spam postings.

I was ready to razz you as a noob, and I'm still not sure if this is some high end AI generated post, but I do really like these in-depth comparisons. I was all set to buy the GW-5000 and it didn't happen. Do you know if the GW-5000u and the GW-5000 are the same size? I think that I recall that the ...

Re: men wearing women's watches, the next trend • WSJ

If you check Netflix Arnold by Schwarzenegger himself you might spot some real man's watch. First 5-10 minutes i spot a huge Panerai may be 47-49mm. He quoted his house "Big is not big enough". :naughty: Arnold screwed his ugly maid. I don't care what he has to say about anything. https://media.ten...

He wears 37mm watches, panties, and a bra, just like his dear ma-ma.

Re: What is up with watch prices?

Saw a FPJ Ti listed at $90 something K in Sydney today, which I thought was a pretty good price (PM FPJ's are $200K Aus +). I remember RM's selling for around the mid $30K USD around 2009-2012. Our $ is going into property ATM. There's a few watches I'd like to get, but reality is they will have to...

Reddit is like trying to communicate by scribbling randomly on the bathroom walls in international airports. It's fly-by shit posting and useless for actual conversation.
