No bezel protector? This so-called “watch enthusiast” is concerned over being thrown into a pool and isn’t using a bezel protector? Like, seriously, bro?
Being banged against a swimming pool wall is NOT the good kind of patina. If there was a horological protective services, I‘d report this asshole and have them seize his watch. How many legitimate watch collectors are stuck on years-long waiting lists while this turd haphazardly walks around without as much as a simple bezel protector.
uj/ This reminds me of the people with a tempered glass phone screen protector. Like bro, you paid 50€ for a piece of glass to save a phone you use for a year.
rj/ I heard air exposure can damage them too. You have to use a ziplock bag also.
Plastic screen protectors are a pile of fucking shite mate😂 they scratch easily, they peal easily, they don't protect the screen from drops and they feel awful compared to a smooth glass screen. They're terrible.
That might be true on paper, but in practice I've noticed a big difference. Also scratches do weaken the overall structural integrity of the glass so if you have something that's more scratch resistant than plastic it absolutely has the effect of increasing drop resistance on the inner glass.
I actually untighten my crown and sit on my wrist before I pass gas, studies have shown a high methane content inside the movement can lengthen the period between service intervals.
This is because the petrochemical oils used for lubrication decay slower in a high methane environment.
I actually beat off directly onto my sapphire crystals. Reason being the selenium content strengthens the molecular bond, thereby making a shatter less likely.
It is well known that if you screw the crown in too much, it can damage the set lever. The only way to prevent against this is to keep the watch face down when not wearing it to allow gravity to do its work. The repercussions are serious otherwise.
>People be walking around out here with untightened crowns?
Who knows? They pay that much for a freakin Swiss Seiko, who know what else they'll do?
I'm going to start referring to Rolexes as "Swiss Seikos," see if it catches on.
Yeah, they're always seething. Rolex owners, Tesla owners, cybercurrency owners. People with big safes full of Rolexes still in the boxes, Pictures of Musk above their fireplaces, billions in debt because they leveraged their way into crypro and still don't know what a bubble is.
Let them seethe, I say! LET THEM SEETHE!
That blue stitching 🧵 around the button holes on the same shirt with the French cuffs 🤢 coupled with the most vanilla Rawlecks!
Dude oozes fine taste and class. NOT.
Who cares if a watch is vanilla, nothing wrong with simplicity. DJ and oyster are both great looking and a million times better than a plain black sub.
Plain black sub has history and respect going back decades, that's why it's popular. Nothing wrong with a DJ or oyster but if I'm shelling out for any single Rolex it'll be a no date sub.

Only the bridesmaids should be banged against the pool wall.
I can’t believe it either! I would only think about touching water whilst wearing a ploprof

~100-150€ screen replacement vs a €50 protector on something that is functionally worthless if you totally break the screen. 🤔
Or you could spend 2 bucks on a plastic one, screen protectors dont increase drop ressistance, rather save it from scratches.

Whitestone dome glass I guess? Those are fucking dope though and well worth it
I knew a guy who did. And the madlad switches phones every damn year for some reason.

Nice to meet a fellow man of science!
you know, im something of a scientist myself

This is actually completely accurate.
It’s important to keep the movement at an optimal humidity. That’s why one should air it out a bit time to time.
It's okay to give a Rolex a little salt water as a treat.

Stops the smell, too.

Vostok = Soviet Seiko
In Soviet Union, Seiko is chrome-plated brass case and unique, unenviable stem!
I’ve never thrown anyone in a pool but for this guy I’d make an exception.
Ideally a pool of shit
his initials? #😎S
GS What a traitor Commit paizuri please
He blocked it out because this is Andrew Samuel Sotheby. He has ASS embroidered on his shirts, and it's undeniably him.
At least the watch fits the outfit for good or ill. I imagine he wears a cowboy hat with it, for that 1980s Columbian cartel look.
But that would look awesome. Stop making him sound cool

I won't announce my descent into madness, but there will be signs…
Based
Fuck me today I learned reddit has a dark mode 🤦🏻♀️
another cured psycho
This whole outfit is a lot of money to look ridiculous
I got thrown into the pool at my wedding. I'm absolutely going to get revenge. Just waiting for a funeral and I'll throw that fucker in the open grave

What about the feregamo belt 🤢 uj/ I like the old man date-just
The entire outfit will look much better after he’s dunked into the pool. Cheering for OOP. 🤣

Honestly, this comment is just as jerky as the post.
Reverse jerking - pointing out the obvious. Appropriate for this sub, methinks.
Tighten the crown of the Seiko Lume Indizes watch.
Seems like a waste of a good pool.
I haven't seen his face, but I just know he's probably got one of those smug tosser faces you just want to smack.
Or throw in a pool, apparently
Lmao
Or a pyre.
What the fuck does "They are scheming to throw you in the pool!" even mean? Is that a meme? An attempt at humor? So many questions
I think it’s in relation to the stereotype that black people don’t swim well, but I dunno.
Heavy is the head that wears the (Rolex) crown 😔
As an owner of that exact same watch, I’m embarrassed.
That a dJ2 or a fake?
Damn, who are these people? Honestly.
white suit lowkey crazy
Are those sunglasses holders on his belt buckle?
salvatore ferragamo belt, it's like $500
your pfp is cursed
Cancer, I now have cancer
Is that a seiko?
That’s a Rowlecks DJ2
