Looks like three watches for sale online. The first one is a lot more expensive than the other 2, so it must be of a much higher quality.

Its all about impressing other norms
The fun part is nobody knows its an actual rolex until they are inspect it or you tell them, and even then they probably just assume its a chinese bootleg.
If you're super rich then who gives a shit, people know its real but you're still stupid for buying a $10,000 trinket. But I've met average people who actually finance these things.

Name matters because rich people make it matter. Get a bunch of rich people to agree that your name brand is worth more and you can mark up your price by 10,000% as long as you keep it out of the hands of the poor so the rich owners feel special. You aren't paying $10,000 for a watch, you are paying $10,000 for a membership card to the rolex club. Unless you are poor, then it doesn't matter if you have a rolex, your membership is void because you can't back it up by being rich.

>Unless you are poor, then it doesn't matter if you have a rolex, your membership is void because you can't back it up by being rich.
But then you can be part of the poor people with a rolex club who look down on poor people who don't have one
I've got a Rolex. It's something you wear everyday for years. Why go cheap?
>>29027218
The Rolex model there is far and away the best of those three. Swiss watch companies love to inflate the shit out of their prices just because they're Swiss though.
>>29027429
Genuinely wealthy people consider Rolex to be babby's first watch. It's only a mark of status to """rich""" businessmen and regular people.
>>29027568
Because a quartz movement watch is literally better in every single way, watches that last just as long can be had for 100 times less, and you only have it so that you can say you have it.
>>29027576
seriously, it doesn't even have any diamonds in it. fucking shit watch
>>29027604
who says my decision was purely based on function?
>>29027604
Mechanical movements are quite novel now that quartz is the norm. Nothing really wrong with either to be honest.
>>29027616
Diamonds are tacky and have a massively inflated worth though, why would you want them?
>>29027576
>Genuinely wealthy people consider Rolex to be babby's first watch.
Absolutely untrue. I know people who have Pateks and Piguets, who have Rolexs too.
>>29027616
>not understanding how a real watch works
>assuming diamonds make something nice
stay mad, poorfag
It's basically wearing your wealth, it says "I'm rich enough to afford this." Good way to pull gold diggers, but even more honest women like cash.
>>29027672
>Diamonds are tacky
Agreed. Especially for men.
>>29027218

So literally what is in that watch that makes it worth 10k? Is it powered by loli periods?

> more expensive

That's nigger logic, why don't you go buy yourself a pair of 300 dollar headphones or shoes.
It's valuable because it is expensive. Bitches like shiny, expensive things.

Who wears watches nowadays? The digital ones are inserted in everything. Can't you just grab your phone and look at the time? I understand the watches for filthy rich, they are a display of wealth. But what about cheap ones?

the expensive one legit looks better imo. why couldn't they make the cheap one also have a metalic ring around the face?

>>29031018
Literally looks exactly like the $99 one
>>29027218
The movement of the rolex is way better. It doesn't justify the price but it's not crazy expensive compared to other brands who sell watches at the price.
Getting a Seiko with a mechanical movement is really good though, especially if made in Japan.
The third on is pure garbage, looks like shit and wouldn't last 10 days
>>29030966
>Who wears watches nowadays?
Every normie male in the rat race of status and impressing women.
Look at every fucking porno today. Every guy is butt-ass naked but wearing some huge obnoxious wrist watch because in a woman's greedy chimp brain it turns her on.

this shit really is a rat race normie meme.
Actually wealthy, high status people don't need that bs to impress people.
>>29031262
>implying anyone who isn't anyone doesn't wear a nice watch to impress others, including clients and/or co-workers in addition to likely admiring the beauty of the piece themselves
just because you're too autistic to understand why they're valued by those who own them, doesn't make it useless

l get it.
It's like wearing a years worth of someones time around your arm. But that's all there is to it. It doesn't look or work any better than a 100USD watch.
>>29031348
>it doesn't look better than a 100USD watch
fucking kek
Yes, yes it does. You can even tell in the pictures, let alone seeing the two side-by-side in reality. Go wear your shitty 100 dollar seiko into a luxury watch store and compare against the pieces they have, and tell me they look comparable.
>>29031332
I meant 6000, fuck me
>>29031323
$30 is probably low balling it. But a $100 pair of Sony headphones has exactly the same sound quality as a $300 pair of Beats.
>>29031372
>wearing a watch at all
Don't you have a phone.
Or are you a woman who likes to wear shiny things?
>>29031393
>as a $300 pair of Beats.
Yes, but Beats are overpriced.
Try pitting it against Sennheisers or something and it will definitely sound worse.
Headphones are a bad example desu.
>>29031393
Yes but Beats are nigger garbage with a great marketing campaign that shoves them in every rap/EDM video and all the sports superstars alongside muh Dre
There are plenty of actual headphone companies making expensive headphones far beyond some 100 sony jap garbage
>>29031399
I have a phone, but I'm not an autistic little boy who would want to pull out his phone from his pocket every time he wanted to check the time, especially if you happen to be in a professional setting. Not that that's something you'd ever know about.

Yeah, I'm sure team meetings at walmart absolutely won't allow you to use your phone to check the time when you need to.

dude, if you work at wal-mart, just use your phone to check the time. We already know you're a fucking loser

But even at walmart I'm sure they at least require a highschool level reading comprehension. You're probably a fucking 4chan janitor at best
>>29031965
you're the autist unable to grasp why others wear nice watches, which leads me to believe you'd be the wal-mart employee, not me.
>hurr why can't you just chek ur phone??

>>29031990
>you're the autist unable to grasp why others wear nice watches
But that's wrong you fucking retard. As stated several times in this thread already, it's because insecure rats with tiny dicks need something to boost their miniscule egos and try to make themselves think they're better than other people. Even though ultimately, they'll still always be pieces of trash underneath no matter how many shiny, expensive things they try to cover themselves with.

The amount of revenue does not correlate well with any produced tangible physical value.

Better than being a janitor. Be sure to clean my shit off the walls when I get done faggot
>>29028495
Sorry bro but watches you pay for functionality. A Rolex and a seiko are both leagues above that crappy burner watch. They can be repaired and work for around a decade. It's jewelry too so you pay for style as well.
>>29032053
what tears? more than anything we're just baffled that people are vain enough to buy that kind of crap. the kind of people who like to randomly flaunt their toy unsolicited just because it got mentioned.

Pic related was $8 off eBay, and I get compliments from niggers whenever I go out.

>things rich people tell themselves

it's jewelry for men
functionally, $50 watch will do just as good job as the $100000 watch, but it's not the expensive and prestige watch
in the same way, gold plated copper and glass fake gem ring look (almost) exactly the same as pure gold diamond ring, but it's not expensive and prestige jewelry
>>29027218
watches are jewelry for (rich) men.
>>29033082

>>29033082

yes, because niggers only care about the flashiest and gaudiest shit they can afford. Getting compliments from niggers on any article of clothing should be a sign you're doing things very, very wrong

You're not wrong but no one buys a watch for practicality. Its an accessory and it actually makes a person more attractive, depending on which watch is being used.
I own an Omega and it is not 100% accurate, it costs 6 thousand dollars, and it has scratches on the bracelet. But why? Because it gives status, pride (I bought with my own hard earned money and I had my eye on the watch for a while now), and a sense of prestige... that you actually work for a living.
I also own a G-Shock that costs 120 dollars. It is highly accurate, non-expensive, but I will never wear it to an evening out.
Get it? Its just a matter of personal taste.
