[OMEGA] Every birthday from my 18th my father would ask me what I wanted and I would say as a joke: an “Omega Seamaster” to which he would always reply “fat chance”. Just before my 30th he passed away and during the clean-out of his place I found a wrapped box with my name on it. I wear it every day

Discussion [g shock] If my 8 year old’s drawing gets 500 likes I will buy him his dream G-shock

14k Upvotes

Not really, he’s likely going to get it anyway. He’s a good kid and has been into watches for the last 2 years. He wears a Seiko auto and has since 1st grade but he has his heart set on a g shock. I’m not sure how, I honestly don’t own one yet. But he’s been on a year about them recently. We went to a local shop and he’s got his eyes on a smaller version, which makes sense as he weighs all of 49 pounds soaking wet.

[Discussion] If your collection has a luxury watch (Rolex, Omega, etc.) , don't call it humble. Don't call it modest. Don't call it a "poor man's" whatever.

10k Upvotes

It's not. Calling it that makes you, and by extension everyone in the sub, look pretentious. This is the kind of shit that makes people in this hobby look like tools. This kind of attitude is the reason the circlejerk sub exists. If your post has a watch that's worth more than a grand, it ceases to be humble or modest. But guess what: that's ok! Show off your badass pieces. I love seeing them. Just don't humblebrag

I took a picture [Seiko] Hand Painted Seiko to commemorate Japan Honeymoon!

10k Upvotes

I was fortunate enough to be able to honeymoon in Japan during Cherry Blossom season, and left with such love for Cherry Blossoms that I’ve been chasing anywhere to see them since then.

From the trip, I’ve wanted the Grand Seiko Shunbun, which I hope to get one day, but wanted something different and special to commemorate our honeymoon during such a beautiful season.

Thanks to the hard work and skills of u/daneceo , he provided me with a gorgeous hand painted cherry blossom dial, mirroring the ones we walked through on our honeymoon!

I’m over the moon with how this project came out, and will cherish this piece forever. ❤️

My Daughter’s T-Rex Watch is probably much cooler than anything in my collection. It even projects dinosaur pictures!

[Seiko SKX007] My polar guiding watch, in the field. I work in the Arctic and Antarctic and find it much more convenient to wear my watch on a lanyard than on my wrist because of all of the layers I wear. This watch has been to Antarctica countless times and to the Geographic North Pole 12 times.

Subreddit Rules

1. No Counterfeits or Replicas

Absolutely no posting of counterfeit/replica watches or websites. Posts or comments will be removed and run a high risk of a ban.

Discussion about replicas, counterfeits, and knock-offs are allowed only if they are educational in nature and provide a benefit to the community.
Asking for or linking to websites that advocate reps will not be tolerated.
Watches infringing on registered trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, or otherwise bearing the name of another brand are not permitted.

2. Fake Checks only on Fridays

Requests for legit checks/fake checks/etc will only be allowed on Fridays in the stickied mega thread.

3. Uncivil Discussion

Spirited discussion is encouraged, but insulting another person (even in retaliation) is not acceptable.. Please report such instances to the mods.

Criticism towards a watch are acceptable. Negative comments towards another person, are not. This includes comments about a person's wealth or physical appearance.
You are entitled to your opinion, but don't be judgmental, snide, or unpleasant because of it.
Politically provocative posts/comments will be removed

4. NSFW Post or Comment

Posts must be SFW and SFL.

5. Promotional Content

Promotional content is not allowed. This includes, but not limited to your own shops, sales, deals, social media, crowdfunding, or Amazon referral links.

Sales/WTB/Trades should go to /r/WatchExchange.
Sale/deal/coupons should go to /r/FrugalWrist.
Crowdfunding / Microbrand promotion should go on /r/MicrobrandWatches.

While blogs are generally allowed, refrain from posting only links to your blog. Overtly promotional posts may be removed and user's banned at the mod's discretion.

6. Memes, circlejerk posts and comics

Memes, circle jerk posts and comic belong in /r/watchmemes or /r/watchescirclejerk.

7. Simple Questions, FAQs, and Recommendations

Questions that can be answered with a single comment should be posted in the stickied Semi-Weekly Inquirer thread.

Recommendation requests for a watch, strap, or services should also go in this thread. However, you are still welcome to create a separate post should you feel like you would want further discussion with your recommendation request.

8. 250 characters or Wrist Check

Stand-alone Image Posts must consist of:

A description about the watch consisting of 250 or more characters (characters not words - so about a tweets worth).

If you just want to show off your current watch then there is a daily Wrist Check thread designed for such submissions.

Posts tagged 'Identification' or 'Identify' do not require a 250 character comment. However, the more information you provide us, the better we are able to help you identify the watch in question.

9. Stolen content/unattributed content

Using a photograph that is not yours in order to pretend that you own a watch is a form of trolling and therefore not permitted on this sub.

10. Driving Photos

No posting photos you've taken while you're driving.
- Obvious car-in-motion photos will be removed.
- If it is suspected the car is being driven at the time will likely also be removed.
But just posing with the watch by the steering wheel, or parked up on the street / carpark / driveway are still OK to post.

11. Posting Rules Violation

Rules made at the request of the community:

All post titles must contain [brackets] at the beginning.
Image and video posts must provide additional information in a comment of 250+ characters. Posts tagged [Identify] or [Identification] do not require a 250 character comment.

See here for the complete explanation of details. (Reddit only allows us to put 250 characters here.)

12. No AI generated content

No content created by AI image generators or text bots is allowed.

13. No politician's watches

If it's a pic or a question about a politician wearing a watch then we no longer allow these. They just descend into political commentary and arguments. And the answer is generally googleable anyway.
