I am not a big watch guy. Mine keep good time are usually titanium and contain a lot of tritium. I did however purchase a Rolex for the spousal unit. Damn thing has broken several times. $600.00 bucks to have Rolex turn it around. Rolex quit selling parts years ago so you usually have to send it to them. No more Rolex.

Yeah, maintenance on luxury watches is a thing. It sucks.

I'm dreading the day I gotta send mine in have is services. Seems to be OK for now and is only about 10 secs fast per day.

The watch makers always recommend to have them serviced every 3-5 years, but fuck that. If it is still keeping good time let it roll imo. It's like 450 bucks for a standard service. Fuck that.

If you can afford the watch, you should be able to afford the maintenance. That's like someone buying a BMW that can't afford $500 to change out the headlight.

Why should a 5K plus watch need more work than a 19.99 Timex? It's not like having to sync the carbs on a 12 cylinder Italian sports car. That's why they made fuel injection. I'd think they'd have solved this problem by now. The wife's watch hasn't made it more than 2 years without stopping. I call bullshit.

Shouldn't buy a shitty overpriced watch. Sounds like you suck at life.

That grill needs scrubbing! Time to lean then time to clean!

Let's see. I own a fast food restaurant. You own a shitty watch you can't afford to maintain. #winning

Because getting something is cool.

Paying to just keep it working sucks.


How do you not understand this?

Do you like washing your car and getting oil changes?

Or is it just something you have to do and it sucks because it gives you no value and is just money out of your pocket?

You should do the research and know that when buying it. I personally wouldn't buy a watch that needs more maintenance than a battery every few years. But that's just me. That's why I don't own a BMW or Audi, I'd rather have the resale value and maintenance of a Toyota. (For wife's car, I have a Duramax.)

Jesus. There's a difference between being able to afford it and enjoying shelling out money for basically nothing.

Do you only complain about things you can afford?

You don't ever bitch about a parking ticket, or Comcast raising rates 10 bucks, or other petty shit?

I don't get parking tickets. I change internet and cable providers when they do shit like that. Yes I bitch about petty shit but I also fix it when I can. I spent an hour driving to Idaho to get my ticket on my quad reduced to zero last year.

I'm all about value, just my nature. And why I own a Seiko rather than something nicer/more expensive. And yes I give my buddy shit about wearing his Rolex through the mountains in North Idaho on his quad or how he wears his Rolex on his boat.

They are built like a tank. And it's probably a DIVE WATCH

I don't wear the nice shit out when im drinking because im afraid it'll get stolen, not broken.

To each their own. Of course I'm wearing a faggy Apple watch right now.
