Nice watch, OP.

That's fucking retarded. I wear a watch and use it frequently every single day. I can think of nothing more annoying than pulling out my phone whenever I want to know the time. TBH the more "hipster" thing to do is ensuring you flash you iphone to all your hipster friends whenever you want to check the time.

+1. I've worn a wristwatch everyday since fifth grade, and I'm in college now. I have a cell phone as well and I still use my watch. I feel naked without one. Also, I hate morons who can be seen digging into their pocket for their phone whenever they want to check the time. Watches are convenient... and stylish, IMO.
 
Jewelry sucks. I'm always working on something cars, boats, cutting open animals, on a table saw etc etc etc and jewelery gets dirty and hung up or taken off and lost.. I actually have an Omega seamaster in the drawer somewhere my dad got me when I graduated but never wear it (unless he is visiting... thing weighs a ton plus POS doesnt keep winded up unless you wear it and is not accurate).
 
Never really cared for the look of Rolex. Sure it's a status symbol but if I'm going to spend that much money on something I better fucking love the look of it myself! I like a number of TAG and Citizen watches.

This. Plus anyone wearing a watch as a status symbol may as well draw a big cock on their forehead, because that's how they look to everyone else.

Real money wears cheap watch or stuff none would recognize as $$$ but costs 100K+ Audemars Piguet, Piaget, etc.

For example this plain jane is a cool mil
