I believe buying a Swiss watch is a positive proof of stupidity

[chachaa]

American Chinese or English watches are way better, more reliable, and offer more value for the same pricing. Let's put this industry down worldwide. Any buying to a Swiss company or corporation is a proof of stupidity or lack of options

I like my $5 watch and it does it job as well as any other expensive watch so I don't check if it is an american or english watch, all what I need is to work good and have a good design which I like, others are less important. Swiss watches are known for precision and are strong.

I do that enough hours in the smartphone, but it does not say that Swiss watches have lost their relevance. Performance is also inferior to electronic, but as an attribute they have no equal.

I prefer the simplicity so even the bosses in the Mercedes S class have an analog watch instead of these digital/electronic ones. Some people like to buy expensive things so I don't prefer to spend lots of money on watches.

I believe walking around with such an expensive watch is a form of naivety.

I think you do not buy that kind of watch for time measuring.
You buy that kind of watch for the feeling that comes along with it.
It as a status symbol, you want other people to recognize you as a guy with wealth and taste.
And for yourself it is a confirmation that you actually have achieved something in live, because you can spend a certain amount of money for an unnecessary thing.

Not if they carry a rifle with them to protect that watch.

Analog clock always show the status. Have you ever seen a status of the electronic watch? In Vogue is the concept of a classic. It is always current. A Swiss watch is a classic.

I can totally understand the mindset of people who buy expensive swiss watches (although I personally would never spend multiple thousands on a watch). It's similar to women buying jewellery, a millionare woman would happily spend $20,000 on a ring or necklace; complex, beautiful mechanical watches that are precision engineered and limited edition have the same appeal for millionaire men.

I have a thing for G-Shock watches - I like how their priority is being a tool over a piece of art/jewellery, but they still look cool as fuck on your wrist. Yeah they may be mainly constructed of mostly resin and plastic, and are quartz powered (but if it has remote control to atomic clock signals, like my GWA-1100 does, then it's perpetually accurate to less than a second.)

My two favourites that I wear ATM are my GWA-1100 (Radio controlled, inbuilt compass, world time, stopwatch, timer, alarm etc. And it's all analog which I love), I got a good deal on that at £250:



And my Limited Edition GD-X6900 Casio x Maharishi "Lunar Bonsai" - it's got Moon camo bitches!!!  :



I have a bunch of G-Shocks for sale, mostly older digital ones but I'd be willing to part with the above GD-X6900 MH-2 for a fair price - it's probably worth around £200 but I'd let it go for less with payment in BTC or XMR.
