Not so much derailed as rerouted to a different track. Thread drift is what we do here. It's part of our charm.

·I like wearing a watch because it makes me think I'm cool. Then I look at my car and think my watch is worth $2k more than my vehicle. I must be a retard

··Ωf Jury memberA little like the old school restaurant maitre d's who size up people by the quality of their shoes, wristwear does give me some clue who I am dealing with.
Be careful. One maître d made Phil Knight wait an hour for a table, and was fired a week later after Knight bought the restaurant*.
*or so I'm told by my imagination

·I guess it depends on the specific watch community.
As far as the question. My only basis to make any judgement is from those that I have met via this message board. I estimate I have met 6-10 members face to face. And probably twice that via private messaging. Just don't see it.
I do look at what others are wearing, but it is so incredibly rare to randomly meet another watch enthusiast. I most often see rolex and in those cases I never do comment.

·I'm over 50 years old and could give a rat's rectum what someone thinks of my watch, my bald head, my gun, my Jeep or my cowboy boots and jeans. What I do care about is my family and that I treat people well no matter their status in life. 😉

Now that's motivation right there. Have someone make fun of you and then you make it your entire life goal to get back at him.

As a typical American, I wish that I spoke any foreign language as well as you do English. 😉

·Pretentious.
I think the question is not about being that on the forum.
It is about if we like others in general life to "notice" our watches.
I do.

If you do then yes, you're pretentious.

It's really a degree deeper than that. "Let's name it something that popularly closely resembles shit."
Calfgator... Now I really want a custom made alligator strap made to look like plain calf. Allf it will be called. It will be the new black with the pretentious crowd
Anyway, if you come down here, I'll buy you a beer and you can decide. That is, after you've taught me the Queen's English! 😁

·It was only a little friendly mocking. My wife is half English and there is an ongoing teasing all the time where I am being mocked for speaking American English - as most Swedes do. It is all the films and music.

··Mrs Nataf's Other SonSwedish is easy to learn, just go...hurda hurda hurda hurda lots of times and add ja saa on the end of it. Danish is the same but with a different accent, and you add miya higg e lig on the end. Norwegian is the same but instead of jaa saa add ikke sont on the end or just sont
On what occasions does one say "Bork! Bork! Bork!"?
