I'm thinking like 200lbs i.e. the social "points"/recognition you'd score from the general public for being dedicated/devoted enough to bench 400lbs would be matched if you benched 200lbs but also owned a 42mm Rolex Yacht-Master.
From a status standpoint, how much does a rolex add to your benchpress?
money is such a meme
Your watch is the quickest way for someone to determine your worth. When you see someone wearing a Rolex, you automatically know they're above you. Actually, most of you probably cope and convince yourself they're up to their eyeballs in debt but nonetheless you saw them and immediately got defensive because your little ego got hurt simply by them existing and having a nice watch.
That's what a Rolex does - it immediately displays your status. It says either "yep, that's right. I make enough money to afford this watch" or "I'm so poor I have to wear my Fossil when going out to dinner". Your watch immediately determines your value as a human. Expensive watch = high income = high paying job = high value employee. It immediately tells people you're intelligent.
I guess if I was some nerdy homosexual like you, you might as well have a battery powered watch. But for me, nah. The watch has to match the person wearing it and that's why I rock a Submariner
ay don't diss my CASIO F-91W like that - I spent $11 on it.
newbies
You sound like a vain prick
>That's what a Rolex does
There's a strong dude at my gym who wears mc hammer parachute pants. I respect him not your common watch.
I haven't met him but I already respect him more than a Rolex gay. What color pants?
high end replica Rolex are almost indistinguishable from the real thing even to rolex DEALERS. watch doesnt fricking matter anymore moron.
based moron who thinks replica will work after 10 years
If you wear a fake you know in your heart you’re a fake and that’s all that matters. Your fake watch will devour heart heart and then soul and before long you become the watch only on another man.
>paying more for something that has the same functionality
thats moronic. the only reason someone should buy a brand name anything is quality, and thats quickly being eroded in this society as well. name brand shit is being made in greah waww o' chyiinaaah land and still sold at a premium because it has the official label on it. now thats just moronation and i feel stupid for not predating on ignorant people who waste their money and help this shit be acceptable.
Spoken like a true virgin lmao
I have never looked at a watch on a guy and thought “he’s above me omg!!! :O”. you’re a massive homosexual lmao
Probably because you look at the ground everywhere you go
>didn't notice + don't care
If someone is wasting boatloads on a fricking watch either they have more money than sense or they care too much about peawienering. I respect a good quality, durable accessory but no one buys a rolex because it keeps the time better than cheaper watches.
I'm an attorney making over $500k/yr. I would never waste my money on a Rolex. I think anyone who does is an absolute fricking moron.
You have Black person logic, but tbh I'm glad. Consumerist morons like you are what ensure my investments grow.
>he doesn’t know that luxury Swiss watches are an appreciating asset that can be sold in the secondary market for 1.4x to 4x profit.
Lying moron.
t. 2L summer associate
imagine unironically calling yourself a “high value employee” as a flex
lmao
The only people who actually care about watches are other watch guys.
> t. watch guy
You must be fun at parties
Same. The 5600 and a Seiko
my seamaster 300m mogs your submariner
>just looked and can pick one up for under 4 grand
Embarrassing
>had to look it up
homie do you even know what a grand seiko or JLC is? you probably dont even like watches and just wear the most basic b***h rolex just to show how much money you have
tasteless gay, prob couldn't even afford an AP or patek
Subs are the gayest Rolex aside from a fluted bezel Roman Numeral date just on a jubilee.
wow a whole $15k, whoever owns a watch worth that must be a billionaire!
This. Picking up heavy shit will always be the only way to determine the men from the boys.
my goal to be the casual rolex bro for my lighter sessions when its just 1RM and stuff like that
>phone only has one camera
what a fricking poorgay, are your hands too small to hold your iphone 5s with one hand too?
Lol I bet you also have a phone case you weird sperg
He’s right. Phones haven’t made single lens cameras for like 5 years. Are you like 40?
Yeah I can afford a $7,000 watch but can't afford a $500 phone, great logic. Tell me how much your iPhone 15 ultra pro soiboi edition is worth in 5 years
>Yeah I can afford a $7,000 watch but can't afford a $500 phone
Okay then. Something tells me you’re not good with the ladies, either.
If a phone affects your ability to smash I've got some bad news lol
Why would you wear a watch? I use a cell phone so I always have a time telling device with me.
No one knows the difference between a Rolex and a cheap chink knockoff
Explorer II is literally the ugliest piece of shit on the planet.
One of the worst watches in the world.
Did you buy at boutique or secondary market?
It’s a $400 fake.
No hate bro but why would you buy a rep when you could save a bit more and buy a real/vintage omega instead?
I'm not really OP, I'm just a jealous poorgay
If your Rolex isn’t solid gold with fricking diamonds in the face does it even count? That watch is like 5k only. Poorgay.
Aftermarket diamond set pieces have terrible resale value compared to unmolested models. Only drug dealers in basketball players diamond set old rolex watches.
>gold is better.
Oystersteel models can sometimes sell for more vs gold models.
T. Not op, I just sell watches.
It happens a lot lol.
fitness watches are better. It has a data plan, I don't need to bring my phone with me to the gym, I still get my calls and texts forwarded to the watch. Oh and I can still tap to pay with it
Have fun getting shot in the back of the head by a nig who wants a new Rolex.
>social "points"/recognition you'd score from the general public
Men. It's okay, you can just say men bro.
It's 2024 we're cool with that.
>it's the CURRENT YEAR
Zoomers don't even realize they're a meme
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/come-on-its-2015-current-year
>Links to a website from 10 years ago
Brainwormed boomer lol.
ik the tired and wired earbuds in the OP were a dead giveaway :skull:
weak
hahahahaha got you dyel
I wear a Casio to signal I am a quiet, reserved, practical and above all dangerous man.
watches are for middle class people trying to flex wealth they don't actually have. actually rich people don't flex with watches because they have nothing to prove
Lmao @ this cope. Tell me which middle class people are buying $100,000 Patek Phillipe watches
>Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah
>Richard Mille RM003-V2 Titanium (last known sold price $480,000 USD)
>This watch isn’t that expensive for an RM.
You really have no idea lol.
Lol you think techies & warren buffett represent all rich people or some shit - that's just a subset of them.
nobody cares about watches in anno domini 2024, even buying apple knicknacks would get you more status (since at least people would recognize that brand)
Again with the memeing? That's the best you can do?
I don't give a frick about your homosexual ass watch.
Dressing up in shiny brand israeliteelry is for Black folk. Spend that money in something that matters.
Normies, especially women, will notice the outdated, base model phone before the rolex.
Cope harder. Phone remains out of sight 95% of the time whereas my watch is plainly visible throughout the day
Only brokies think their little $900 phone is something to be proud if. People working at McDonalds have the latest iPhone
Was always taught to have wealth, not to show wealth.
I was born white, why would I care about watches and accessories like a gay man or a woman?
Only people who live in shitholes infested with brown people think being white is worth something
Yup
Probably some californian
>Rolex
It'll get you mires from street prostitutes and a target for being robbed at gunpoint despite it being cheap trash.
Patek adds about 442,350 pounds to your lifts to start. Can add more.
I'll stick with my Gshock knockoff.
>he doesn't have a real G-Shock
99% of women don’t know shit about watches and don’t care about them. The 1% that does are so high status you will not meet them and if you did they would laugh at your Rolex because they wear 200,000+ dollar watches and date men who wear them also
Women know Rolex. They don't know Omega. They don't know Patek Philippe. They don't know Richard Mille. Saying women don't know the one of the most popular israeliteelry brands in the world just shows how disconnected you are with females
Your social status is highly contextualized by the subculture around you. I, any many other people, don't give a shit at all about fancy watches, so your social status doesn't increase at all us. But, certain subcultures really do respond to that. The trick is finding the subculture that responds to BOTH the watch and the muscles / benchpress PB

I only replied once to this thread, moron. But if a shitpost of mine makes you seethe then it was a good shitpost. Get wrecked, israelite moron
>PC poster is also a nerdy sperg doing incel math
Pottery
If I had the money I would buy a Rolex in heartbeat. That said I'm a truecel so take that with a grain of salt.
>taking a selfie using both hands to hold the phone
unironic ick, unironically sub-conscious feminine behavior revealing his true colors. His whole persona is a lie. This is a perfect example of a pre-transitioning roidtroony
Watches don't mean jack shit with the amount of reps in the world, only thing you can't rep is your profession and post code
I look at guys wearing Rolex and think they're posers until I can see some proof that they have the lifestyle to back it up
inb4 it was a heirloom
Only actual hairy, obese subhuman morons say the word "poser". I bet you're 280lbs, minimum, with a crotch full of pubes and a massive neck beard
Everyone knows the Polar color scheme for the Explorer II is the best. It's the one Rolex I actually want.
There's no point in owning expensive/flashy watches/clothes/cars if you're a balding skinnyfat mess.
Just got one of these meme watches for the gym, I rotate between this and a good old Timex Expeditioner (love the indiglo)
forgot pic
unless it's solid gold, nothing
Actual Black person logic. I bet your "gold" watch is battery powered lmao
i buy cash flowing property not watches, stay poor
You post on IST from a PC, you're a brokie incel
Watches signal your ineptitude with money. Imagine spending anything on something your phone does for free. Absolutely braindead.
Oh no I’m so inept with money. I’m 33 and thanks to buying a $7,000 watch my net worth is only $1.9M.
Please help me.
Does it at leat help with your insecurity? This isn't something someone satisfied with life would argue on an anonymous Mongolian basket weaving forum.
It’s not that deep bro it’s just some israeliteelry with some cool little gears inside.
>tattoos
Much like with non-white skin, dyed colored hair, voting for Biden, non-ear piercings, and pro-LGBTQ views, tattoos are an immediate signifier to the world that nothing about you should ever be misconstrued as having any value whatsoever. I am more likely to consider the thoughts, feelings, opinions, and humanity of a stinky homeless person high on fentanyl than I am a person with tattoos.
You motherfrickers need Jesus.
I like their watches, but I still prefer my Garmin Fenix.
>GPS + terrain maps
>Solar charging aka infinite battery anywhere
>Waterproof 50 meters
>Excellent sport features
>The best progress measurement tool ever made
You just can't beat it. I never take it off ever.
>Waterproof 50 meters
That's not much at all tbf
Its farther than I'm licensed to scuba dive at. Any further depth then that just means my beneficiary can use it if I drown to death.
Why would I wear a watch when I have a phone that tells the correct time to the second
>thinks an expensive watch is for telling time
100% chance you're brown
So you're a homosexual that wears israeliteelry? Lol
A brokie's opinion on fashion is like a homeless person's opinion on drapes
>implying it's a bunch of blacks keeping Rolex in business
Tyrone is fricking your brain and living in it, rent free, incel
post tax return
Cry more
the fricking irony of someone who spends absurd amounts of money on israeliteelry calling someone else brown
post your chains Demarcus
>Rolex
Sorry I don't know what it's like to be poor
Watches are s@i ,the only reason to check the time regularly is if you are working for someone else like a cuck
I can't tell thats a Rolex though unless I look at it real close and most people don't look closely at other people's watches because everyone has a clock on their phone now.
I'm rich and flaunting wealth is difficult. There's nothing I can buy that a normie can't just buy stupidly. I paid cash for a brand new car. But you know who has new cars? Everybody. They just finance them. A Rolex is the same thing. I've got $200k sitting in cash. I could buy a $10,000 watch. But so could a stupid normal person. And that's what it makes you look like, a stupid normal person who wastes a bunch of money on dumb trinkets.
Post key fob with time stamp or LARP
If I ever see a guy with a rolex, I am following him home and stealing everything he has.
It honestly depends on who you're talking to. But everyone notices it. I always thought how do you see the little crown. But normies love that shit
they notice that Daytona because it’s ugly/shiny as possible
>how to take a perfect classic panda chrono and turn it into a 0/10
If your product was actually luxurious a bunch of morons on IST wouldn't be arguing about it. We'd never even have heard about it.
You're simply mogged by advertising.
>Finally got my Rolex, now people will know that I am rich
