Yes, yes it does.

I do not have a watch fetish at all, but Friday night I was hanging out with some peeps and noticed they all had watches they obviously cared about on. So I asked them what’s up the deal with the watches. This one guy who hadn’t said more than a few words all night started going on and on like a crossfitting vegan. It was kind of neat to watch. (See what I did there?)

I got this one a few months ago. It came with a bracelet but I put a rubber strap on it.

I’m thinking about buying this pretty thing on eBay. It sees pretty cheap for a vintage Rolex so there must be something wrong with it.
i would like to add to this^^
unless a particular rolex has NO collector value today or ever....NEVER overhaul a rolex. i've seen them on antiques roadshow, in not particularly good shape, but all original, going for upwards of $100,000.
never overhaul a rolex!!!
that is all.
Good point but I've got a new house to decorate and new hot tub to buy so should probably put the fancy watch selling on the back burner unless my crypto holdings have all of a sudden gone up

Fetishization for today:
It has a bronze case and is still pretty shiny, but is just starting to show some signs of tarnishing/patina. I've seen pictures of others that got quite dark in a few years, which I'm looking forward to; the antique diving bell vibes are neat but something a bit more low key is more my thing

I dig it.
Bronze diving watches can look cool as fuck.
The bad ones, though, have that steampunk aesthetic, which I really really really hate.
I’ve actually been eyeing this one:

I should have spent more time watch shopping in Bern. Guess I'll just have to go back!

The tudor black bays are very nice looking; a bit steep for my frivolous-watch-buying budget, but also a step up quality-wise I'm sure. I do like the more vintage vibes of the baltic, and it's smaller I think (39mm, which is a good fit for my skinny wrists). I think there are smaller black bays, just not in bronze

Are you liking it?
I’ve never owned a Christopher Ward, but I’ll probably order the C1 Moonglow.

Yeah, I like CW a lot. They make a really nice watch for the money. I also have the original moonphase and another diver. I love the moonglow, but I don't want it bad enough to shell out the money.

A little bit subtle compared to my usual aesthetic, but I kinda want this.

Although not nearly as fancy-pants/expensive as that, I've always thought that a bunch of watches from 'Mr Jones watches' were pretty fun looking in that sort of vein.
(they call this one their most accurate watch)

I discovered Chopard yesterday. It seems to be a brand flying below the radar because they don’t hold their value nearly as well as the big names. $20,000+ watches go as low as $8,000–$9,000 used. If my dog’s vet bills don’t break me I could see sinking a royalty check into one of these.

I’ve had my eye on that one. I really like the mechanical model and it’s relatively inexpensive, but… just wish that it was an automatic.
