·Just seeing this thread for the first time. The GQ article is perfect for GQ. I am quite sure the "men" wearing Michael Kors watches never set their watches...they never need to, as they run on little batteries they get installed at a kiosk. Bollocks.

·At a birthday dinner for a bandmate last week, one of his pals (from whom I got bad vibes the moment I sat down) was sporting a DJ. His collection of fine musical equipment broke the ice, yet his and his wife’s need to talk Gucci, Prada and fancy traveling quickly became tiresome. Anyway, I shifted focus to his Rolex and he took it off and handed it to me. The crown was out, and the hands read 11:15. It was 6:30pm.
He told me the crown needed repair and he couldn’t be bothered to set it let alone pay for a service, which to a ‘bro’ of his means is less than pin money. Indeed, he dismissively scoffed that he only wears it out figuring someone might notice it. Damn. In an effort to engage, I walked into his trap. My earlier suspicions of him being douchecicle were confirmed.
This schmo was a complete poseur. Ick.

You’re not wrong. He actually grabbed his phone and said, “who the hell needs to tell time these days…?”
(I sat next to his wife; I felt sorry for her.)

·I'm pretty bad myself..., I just set a few quartz watches to the second! I also have to set my mechanical (and quartz) watches minute hand, directly between the hash marks if the 2nd hand reads 30 seconds! Yeah..., this article is BS!

A coworker never sets is DJ either. But very strangely he hates to tell he has a Rolex. So I told everyone 😀 I'm still wondering why he has a watch at all 😀
Besides that, your story is sadly a good exemple about what the watch market had become for a lots of people.

·Does it really matter if the time is set? Who would be able to read it? To watch lovers, of course it's repugnant to consider a watch that is used only as jewelry, but the guy that wears this watch spends 150 on a haircut every other week, drives a 120k Tesla, uses 2 or 3 kinds of hair product, and spends time each day matching his shirt/tie/socks. (this watch is actually legit...real diamonds)
