For how bad of value it is, I’m shocked Cartier is liked in the watch community

Title is pretty self-explanatory, but for how obsessed the watch community is with specs and value for money you’d think Cartier would be avoided as they’re primarily fashion first and functionality last. Taking the santos for example, it’s a $9000 watch out the door for a movement with an accuracy as good as a $800 automatic Seiko. Typically, if it were any other brand posting such a high price for such a bad movement they’d be relentlessly berated by the community. Perhaps the watch community cares more about brand name than they let on? Who knows, still a cool watch though.

Can we all just agree that rep wearers are losers and have the mods start banning rep discussion posts?

There’s been 5+ rep related posts in this sub within the last 24 hours and I for one am so over it. There’s no discussion to be had. You bought a $500 Chinese WhatsApp Rolex and walk around pretending to be something your not. You’re a loser. Grow some balls and buy a real watch within your actual budget and wear it with pride.

Quality of Formula 1 on rubber

Looking to get a formula 1. I love the pastel colors, however I’m not sure if it’s worth the price compared to the standard models that come with the stainless steel bracelets. Can anyone who owns one of these attest to the quality? Is it worth shelling out almost $2000 or just spend the $100 and get one of the steel models?

OLED C5 no longer loads Spotify after most recent update

It just gets stuck on the Spotify logo you see right when opening the app. All other apps function perfectly. Any advice?

A decision needs to be made

Photos are just for reference and not the specific watches I’ll be picking up so ignore the conditions. I’ve ultimately decided to pick up a seamaster and cannot decide between these 2. I seriously can’t decide. I do have a black watch in the collection already but not a blue. Despite that I’m still as equally leaning towards the black because it’s just more versatile plus you get the applied logo and markers. What would you do?

Can you guys please shut the fuck up about Rolex?

We get it, you’re different because you don’t like the most popular watch company in the world. Nobody cares. There doesn’t need to be 10 different posts on this sub a week about how you think Rolex is trash and __ company is better. Just buy the watch you like and move on. It’s seriously pathetic to go through different watch subs to explore options and people just can’t help but compare themselves to Rolex. You aren’t going to sway anyone away from Rolex by doing that. If I want a submariner, I’m going to get a fucking submariner and no matter how much you exclaim __ watch is better or better value will change my mind.

Sincerely, someone that doesn’t own a Rolex and probably will never own one.
