[Very Stable Genius]

Vacheron Constantin make the nicest watches on the planet as far as I’m concerned and they are very low key.

Yacht Master is like the worst Rolex lol

Pfft, need to go full baller status and get a Richard Mille.

 

[Cosmix]

Hamonic is fine in his current role. Not amazing but he's serviceable.

Holden cannot play anymore. He is washed. Should not dress without injuries.

Would rather have JBD or Thomason.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Expensive watch is just the beginning, then you need the wardrobe to support it.

I respect the expensive coffee maker, but where do you get your beans?

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

That's sick, that's a nice watch. I'd have preferred a Zenith Defy El Primero but that's probably cause I'm too poor for a roflex.

The yacht master is a georgous watch.

AP Royal oak black rubber trap and Daytona 2 tone.

Is your phone swiss made ?

I think something people are not taking into account with expensive watches is that they can be a good investment, unlike buying an expensive car or expensive coffee machine like some people. Watches can retain and go up in value.

 

[Cosmix]

You know what makes coffee from an expensive coffee maker taste even better ? Sipping it while wearing an expensive watch.

Grand Marnier!

I guess, but the fact they go up in value is purely a function of demand, which is the part that doesn't make sense to me.

It's not like they tell time better as they age...

There's a lot of parts in it I'm sure one of them came out of Switzerland.

 

[StoicSensFan]

I'd definitely rock one of those skeleton watches, I admire the engineering and intricacy of the internals.

Only if you don't wear them.

 

[Masked]

I really don't get the appeal of crazy expensive watches... Like, even 4 figures for a watch seems insane to me... Then again I do have an embarrassingly expensive coffee maker (not 36k like that damn watch but still more than I'd like to admit), so different strokes for different folks I guess.

You can appreciate something but not buy it. Now that I wear my smart watch almost exclusively I rarely look at watches or are tempted by them.

I'm guessing you must also have a rather expensive coffee grinder to go with that coffee maker?

Assen na yo!

Sure I guess, I can appreciate a really nice watch but I don't really wear watches anymore...

Assen na yo!

The machine is fully automatic so it grinds the beans and pours the coffee, and froths the milk if you want a capucino.

No you're right it comes down to brand, how many were made, etc. I am just saying it's not like buying a car where the value of your watch will goto 0 over time. Some watches will be a great investment, and some will retain some sort of value in the future so its not like if you spend 50k on watch that 50k is lost forever. That's all I meant.

Also I really want one of those coffee machines. Where do I get one ?

Yeah, I get what you meant, but bored ape NFTs went up in value too but I sure as shit don't get why people buy those either ...

Lol I'm the biggest bitcoin fan you'll meet even I have no clue why nfts did what they did, they make no sense to me. Watches are definitely different than nfts. High end watch brands will always have resale value, they won't always go up but they certainly won't goto 0.

Beautiful. What coffee beans are you putting in that thing?

 

[Cosmix]

I eat at Swiss Chalet, so I suppose I am supping on the finest of food.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Breville auto steeping tea maker for the win!

Rarely drink coffee, and don’t ware a watch unless I’m working out or want to track my sleep….

So that’s my contribution to cool things

 

[Que]

I just have a 10 cup Bunn ThermoBrew. Get a full pot in under 2 minutes - which is great when you average 8-16 a day.

Always locally roasted Arabica Colombian beans though. I’ve tried it all but always come crawling back.

 

[DrEasy]

What do you spend your money on doctor?

What money?

What money?

So true and so frustrating.

Carraro globo rosso to go in the Oracle touch here
But I’m a cyclist so it is to be expected

We change it up from time to time, right now though it's got Costco house brand expresso beans in it, lol.
