5 reasons ppl buy watches
- jewelry 2. horology 3. flex 4. to monetize 5. buzz of collecting
most of the disagreements on this sub come from two people with a different number order of hierarchy disagreeing. If you are a horology guy and collector over all things then you sit in sanctimonious judgment over jewelry and flex guy who just wants to make people think he has more money than he has.
if you are a monetize guy or a jewelry guy then you care a lot about liquidity and resale value
I think owning the order at which you prioritize these five things creates a more accurate context for discussing watches
my friends and I have a watch chat and once we established this there was less shit talking. Rep-lover is "flex" over everything - so of course he owns over 20 reps and solid gold watches (14k plate) as well as having the smallest dick in the group.
