re: Is it trashy not to GAF about expensive watches?

Of all the things that make you trashy, this is not one.

I get the sentiment

But I also like having fine, timeless things that will hopefully be of interest to my son (and perhaps his children) one day. A Rolex is more likely to be maintained, cherished, etc. than a beloved Citizen. It's far more likely to achieve the sort of interest and memories that creates a good heirloom.

I don't blame people for not caring about that stuff, but I kind of like it.

That said, I have Swiss watches - But I wear an Apple Watch.

I wear a bulky all-chrome purple-faced LSU watch. I’ve changed the battery twice and it’s still stuck at 6:30. But I love it.

Much like a Rolex, my watch is just for show (but thousands cheaper) and I feel naked without it on my wrist.

I mainly get time from my iPhone.

Yes.

My father gifted me his watch a couple months ago. The last watch I wore was a Casio watch that doubled as a calculator (prob did other stuff too - alarms, etc). That was in 1991.

It's a 1984 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust #16013, Champagne Diamond Dial. It's probably worth more than my car. I generally don't burn money on luxuries, and so I'm not really used to wearing what some would perceive as a status symbol. Despite what others may assume about me, I wear the watch.

It reminds me of him daily, as it was affixed to his arm every since I was 3. He has always been a punctual man, which I generally am not. This watch reminds me of my father and the values that he tried to instill in me. It also reminds me not to put the pressures of time above the love that God expects me to show the world.

But yeah, brah, you're trashy AF.

that calculator watch did a lot of other stuff. I had alarms and all kind of stuff.

Also if you like nice watches you might also love cheaper too

Gotcha. That makes sense.

Looks líke some of you Breitling haters need to go to a George Floyd riot with your Tranny girlfriend's boyfriend and tickle each other's balls.

Not in my opinion. I wear a G-Shock because I have a propensity to swing my arm into door casings on occasion while walking through doorways. I guarantee that I would ruin an expensive watch in one way or another.
