I'm gonna order one, not sure which to choose since they both look cool imo.

Take a look:

Hmm. . . I guess those things do look pretty cool.

I do agree, they are cool looking. On the other hand, I'm a traditionalist. I would much rather go for Link or if you want to go for the Alice In Wonderland effect Link.

I believe that a watch is the ultimate peacocking accessory. It's a symbol of personal achievement. There are no false positives when it comes to a timepiece. It's either there or it's not. IMO, go for a quality watch, Swiss made, preferably.

A stripper once told me that she picks her targets, in the club, based solely on the wristwatch. "A guy who has money will never skimp on his watch."

I agree but also disagree. Some things are better left traditional but this watch is meant for peacocking. And I think it is perfect for it.
You can even add a little routine to it. You can explain your target how it works etc.

That's kind of a golddigger attitude, don't you agree?


Ps. If you had to choose, which one would you pick? That's why I started this topic.

I'd go with the first.

My style is "classy baller", so it wouldnt work for me.

But if this fits with your style do it up. They look damn cool!

Remember, congruence.

I agree, but it's the principle behind it. If you're going to spend money on a watch, I'd rather get a good one than waste my money on a cheap one, no matter how cool it may look. It's like what's said about dressing for work. "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." That's my opinion, that's all.

I can't pick one, I honestly don't know. Neither of them appeal to me.

Take what was previously said about congruence. It's very important to be congruent.

Well, it's that type of opinion the World over that makes peacocking with a 20k Blancpain work. Let me tell you something. People know . . . and it's not just exotic dancers. Go to the mall and approach the make up booths and they know. All bartenders know. Bouncers, execs, doormen, the Heineken girl serving you the pitcher of beer, the new intern in the office, the hottie lead of the local cover band, the barista the new cafe, etc . . . They all give expensive watches and the guy who wears it a double look. And yeah, it's true; they ALL treat you differently if you wear a fat watch.

Anyhow, I don't know how these 150 dollar watches have anything to do with those watches that cost more than the average car . . . I just think these watches look pretty cool. Just saw the watches again. I'm liking the "Shinshoku"! I mean these watches are so "out there", I'd just get something really . . . out there. Get your nails done in black like Mystery. Maybe white . . . then under a black lamp, I bet the nails/watch combo would look pretty damn cool.

Some how my experience differs. I pretty much get treated the same if I wear my Vestal watch or not. The link below is what it looks like

having a quality watch can be a drawback, some chicks are golddiggers and will target guys to chat to, to find out more about their net worth

Not that many chicks know a pricey watch except the main brands and even fewer even know of the very pricey ones like Audemars Piguet, blancpain, patek phillipe, chopard, panerai, franck muller etc.

most know a rolex is a few grand as is breitling, an omega is a grand or two etc and that's about the extent of most people's watch knowledge

I usually wear a rolex (have always loved watches from an early age, I own a few good ones, I'm into the craftsmanship and like owning a quality thing in a plastic cheap tack world, not the "look at me I can drop a wedge on watch" angle) and it does open doors, and elicit a better standard of service from places, as shit as that is but it's how the world works, it's a visible DHV, much boo hoo'd by those who don't have a quality watch but the fact is people take you more seriously (aka more chance to take cash off you) when you wear $7k+strapped to your wrist

having said that some of the richest guys I know wear fashion watches, instead of swiss stuff and it looks fine, the thing is if you have the frame right you could be wearing a $100 swatch and still be the man if your persona and attitude are sorted.

Okay maybe I should'v explained my style a little. I often go for a playful style, so that kind of watch will be congruent for me.
A lot of people in my surroundings wear the 'real deal', but most of the time its fake since they are sold on the streets for 50 bucks. So whenever I see a Rolex the only thing I think about is who he bought it from, and whether it's real or not.

How old are you and where do you live? . . .

In regards to expensive watches. I'm not sure where the hell everybody here lives but believe me. Girls know everything. Even if they don't know a particular watch from another, they know when they see an expensive watch. I mean most of you . . . well, I thought most of you would know the difference between an expensive watch from a kiddy watch vestal or whatever. Go to a club in HK and the $$ that the guys wear on their wrists could feed a small country for a year. Yeah, go ahead and walk into a club on the Bund in Shanghai or in NYC with your kiddy watch. Of course it won't make a difference. The cabbies there wear more expensive watches than you do. By the way, you just gave yourself up with your, "I can fool any girl" routine. You could probably convince the country girls of Kentucky that you're a thousandaire but you couldn't convince a NYC bum of anything more. Ah . . . I'm just pickin' on you but damn, you're talking out of your ass.

In regards to these watches. I think they are cool . . .

First of all . . . the goal of the game is to score. Whether you play the "money" route or play the "playful" route or anything in between, you've got to do it with confidence and make it work. I like the whole "radioactive" look in a dark club so I'll probably try it out. Shoot me if I ever go for the money route while wearing a kiddy watch with a canvas band. Although . . . this does sound like a pretty tough challenge . . .

lol. I agree a girl can tell if the watch is expensive or not. But I don't consider my watch a kiddy one. Yes it cheap compare to other watches out there. But I really don't feel the need to spend over $100 for a watch really. Its a watch. Its not something I really consider worth investing money in. I am sure for others it is something to invest money into. And I don't doubt for some they will argue it is something to invest money in.

I may be talking out of my ass (it has happen before lol). But I do think you can fool girls into thinking other wise, maybe not all, but some at least. I do a lot of people watching and have watched people with money and watch how they present themselves, compare to those that don't have money. And that is what I been using and learning to try and fool girls. I been successful two times, and failed five times so far. I certainly need to work on it. But I don't consider my self a mPUA by any means. I just seek out and try different ways to pick up girls. I don't see the harm in that. :wink:

Are you rehearsing to be a con man? I do see harm in flat out lying to people. As demonstrated by your success rate, the one who's doing the lying ends up looking like an ass.

Nope. I got no intentions to be a con man. But I have no qualms in manipulating girls tho. I don't make my self to be some filthy rich guy in his mid 20's. As for one I be called out on that very fast, and I don't like to flashing around money. Which a lot of guys do around here. Yes if and when I do get caught I do look like an ass. But doesn't anyone that got caught in a lie looks like an ass? And I would say that there is potential harm in flat out lying to someone. Though I see lying as a necessary evil.
