    Just got what I think is a pretty cool watch. Hermes H08. But wait, Hermes? I thought they made ladies handbags! Turns out in addition to being the worlds preeminent handbag maker and luxury lifestyle brand, they have started making watches. Well, they have made watches for ages, but they started taking it very seriously in the last couple years. They bought a small high end horology movement and dial maker, designed their first men's watch from scratch with in house vertical manufacture, and released it a few months ago. Sold out instantly. Crazy eh?

    I never would have though I'd buy a Hermes watch, but a display case back, full in house movement, titanium deployant clasp, thin case profile, aggressive styling and 100m WR, all for less than 6 grand? Yep, I can see why it's popular.

    Love how they cleverly "hid" the date.


    Sad to see another Injun succumb to the white man's colonial ways. I suppose it started with the Jeep and CLS.

    After years of flirting from afar, I've finally taken the plunge into the seductive Waters of the Paneristi.

    As a dominant lefty this is my first watch designed for me and I couldn't be happier with the result.

    Shout out to the Orkin man @Swaye for helping me navigate this weirdly intoxicating genre of luxury watches.

    Massive, simple, and unapologetic.

    Turning 40 has its perks! Got to pick up my Tudor Black Bay 58 last night from the local AD. All I'd owned prior to this were Seikos and G-Shocks, which I still love, but the Tudor is (obviously) on a whole 'nother level. Just the feel of the steel is different different, let alone the precision of the machining, polish, how the clasp operates, the action of the bezel, etc being beyond what I thought it would be. Jumping from a 3Hz to 4Hz movement is also a big difference. Sorry for the huge pictures.






    Bad ass watch you fucker.

    I'll bet my new wood floors are nicer than his.

    Mrs Snow is a formidable opponent.
    Probably. We have real maple, but they have 15 years of traffic on them. In decent shape. #flooringhottalk

    The Metrosexuality within this thread is disturbing to say the least. Guns, Cigars and Guitars produce Testosterone.

    Watches? Well, for the sporty ones I'd say yes. But the antique types? Not so much.

    I feel I'd be doing a disservice if I didn't truthfully testify how uber popular those "vintage" watches were among the gay waiters I worked with in the 80s and 90s. They loved that shit.

    I can understand an heirloom handed down by Grandpa or Dad. But to go out and buy one? Seems like that's crossing a line, prayerfully not a point of no return.

    Sorry, but device obsessions, other than guns or tools, just aren't very testosteronish IMO.

    P.S. Unless you take it off a dead guy you or a buddy just killed in combat.

    What's your example of a sporty watch? I think the vast majority in this thread, off of recollection, are primarily dive/sports watches.

    Growing up in the 60's there would be dads of kids who had German souvenirs from the big one. Just laying around for us to play with

    Probably big dollars today for that spiked helmet

    Here's a pick of all the cash I have in the bank that I my wife won't let me spend on Rolex watches.


    Can you update the size of this pile post-kitchen remodel?
    There's no pile of cash. It up an vanished like fart in the wind.

    So Swaye, these are two that are rapidly gaining in my short list...IFL like the late 50's vintage looking pieces. They just scream Bond with the cig lighter in Goldfinger.





    Fucking hardwood floors, man.

    The most obsessive watch fag here also has the best gun and cigar collection.

    I predict @BleachedAnusDawg will be into a Blue Dial Seamaster Heritage 300 by early 2022.

    I don't even know what I subject myself to this balls in the face thread.

    This is a lot of words to say "I'm poor."
    Don't get me wrong, like Chief Joseph, I like a nice Rolex.

    But usually not the guys who wear them.

    It's iron law that fat guys wear jewelry. Take a walk on any East Coast beach from Maine to South Beach for proof.

    I am 6'5" 240 lbs former army ranger. You really don't want any.
    Whom am I to challenge perhaps the most classic of all classics on the classics board?

    And the knowledge that Swaye would feed what's left of me to red ants after burying me up to my neck in the ground, is probably the right time to cease commentary on watch faggotry er appreciation.
