I’ve been collecting for about 4 years now. Many pieces have come, and these are what’s left. There will be more but feeling pretty happy with what I have. However, I’d love for someone to roast my collection. I love watches but I also love the idea that they’re not serious. Let it rip and let me have it, roast the sh*t out of my collection.

What is that black Rolex with the red letters?

[–] AlexSabbagh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sea Dweller 50th anniversary, ref 126600. It’s a Mk1 dial

[–] WithAFrickingPencil@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Your collection is so basic it could settle an upset stomach.

[–] grumpyoldassguy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Top row were the try-hard years. Then, you made partner

[–] penarbor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Haven’t seen so many fakes in one frame! Gosh! Even the Casios look fake! How could you!! 😝

[–] bagoflees@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Judging by all the cheap watches, the pricy brands must be counterfeit crap. I hate everything.

Best I can do.

[–] Marc385@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dials come in more colours than black, y'know? 😜

That citizen in the top left is hands down the most psychopathic watch design I think I’ve ever seen 😂

[–] AlexSabbagh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I know, I fucking love it!

[–] Whale222@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

MKII?! Alongside those others? We all have drunken purchases.

[–] noctalla@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why do you keep buying the same three watches over and over?

[–] KanyeInTheHouse@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was trying to think of something along these lines and you had the perfect rendition of that.

[–] Mythrilfan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This but unironically.

[–] ABSelect@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

how does one go about aquiring a mkII?

There's so much black face in this photo I thought I was looking at an old picture of the Canadian PM.

[–] Ladybug_Fuckfest@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice "Bund strap." You are literally Adolf Hitler! (yeah, I got nothin)

[–] Velocitor1729@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"I didn't know there were watches that weren't dive watches, until somebody introduced me to the Casio LCD."

I like the Tudor, BTW. 🙂

What's there to roast? This collection is a perfect reflection of it's owner; soulless and more money than sense. 14 watches and you can't bring yourself to not do blackface on a dozen of them, which is probably an appropriate allegory for your personal beliefs. Sorry, I shouldn't forget the cookie cutter Casios, which are almost as obvious a beard for your horology chops as your trophy wife is for your limp-dicked masculinity. I'm surprised you had the foresight to take the plastic and tags off of them, as someone with a collection like this would never miss an opportunity to wear their "understated" Rolex or AP rather than be seen with something a commoner could afford. The only thing here that surprises me at all is that you don't have an "inconspicuous" black dial Patek Grand Complications hiding somewhere, so you can stunt on other boring, middle aged WASPs that think their gold Daytona is more expensive than anything you have, since it's obvious this entire hobby for you is nothing more than one more way to desperately attempt to show other people that you're worth something. I shudder to think of how ostentatious your wife's jewelry collection is to have allowed you to accrue a small fortune in terrible watches. I'm guessing it'll take quite the piece for her to finally let you get that Patek, more than the usual pearl necklaces your ADs have undoubtedly been giving her up to this point anyway.

You’ve already roasted your collection. They’re all burnt to a crisp.

[–] EyeDentifeye@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I cant lie Tissot really knows how to make some fugly ass watches man. Who tf designed that

[–] AdmiralAgile@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is actually a really rad collection man, nothing to roast here.

Keep on trucking.

[–] Happy_Boy_29@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Aside from the fact you need to cash in on some of these or buy a bigger box, there is one in there that screams to me louder than all the others because I cannot get on the AD waiting list for it, namely that Speedy which would look really cool next to my DSOTM. May I ask out of idle curiosity did you get it from an AD or grey ?

[–] joemamma2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Roast? You actually have a few nice ones in there

[–] rgb3x3 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You basically have 3 watches there.

Why even bother getting 9 of essentially the same watch?

[–] WineNerdAndProud@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

These are all really nice, fuck you.

[–] cherryhilljawnz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Your collection is actually very nice, BOOM ROASTED

I love the top left bond watch. BOOM ROASTED

[–] GentlemanImproved@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually a nice collection you dildo sucking - panty sniffing - b*tch *ss worthless bag of jizz. Have a good day.

[–] AlexSabbagh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Kryoni@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Could use a splash of colour

[–] RealUltimatePapo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Vigilance1213@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Casio and AP in the same box

[–] Maketjgreatagain@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What’s the story behind you getting the Tornek?

[–] AlexSabbagh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Saw that Bill Yao was making a reissue, joined the mailing list, bought one.

Your collection costs more than every car I’ve owned combined but it’s so vanilla that the Citizen bullhead is my easily my favourite.

Why the fuck anyone would spend this much on watches when they could spend the same on a boat, a helicopter or a small villa in the mountains is beyond me. It doesn't impress me at all. It seems absolutely batshot insane.

[–] AlexSabbagh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get what you mean. But the most I could buy if I sold this collection is a very nice car, which will just depreciate with time.

[–] RelapsedPianoholic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fair point. It's not the worst investment a person could make.

[–] vox_veritas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Have you considered (1) that they aren't trying to impress you; and (2) that maybe they can afford these watches AND a boat, helicopter, etc?

[–] RPOR6V@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That Casio Royale looks ridiculous on that 12mm NATO strap. Like an orange on a toothpick.

Surprised that watch box hasn’t been attacked by an american officer yet

[–] Numerator999@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"...You're gonna need a bigger box..."

Keep that Citizen!

[–] ShadowsteelGaming@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is the perfect collection if you're colourblind
