Made me laugh

I had YouTube playing in the background this morning and heard something that caught my attention.

“I didn’t set the time. I don’t set the time on my watches.” - while wearing a Hulk.



I think we can all agree most people don’t need a watch to tell time. I’m guilty of using my phone to tell time even when I have my watch on (doesn’t happen often, though it doesn’t happen). But I couldn’t wear a watch without setting the time. That’s just weird. Guess that goes to show you that Rolex truly is just jewelry to some!

That is just plain sad.

I’ve been looking at my wrist to tell the time for the last 45 years since I was five years old. It doesn’t matter if there’s a wall clock in front of me I’m still going to look at my wrist. I cannot imagine something as shallow as buying a Rolex watch and not setting the time. Any luxury timepiece for that matter. However considering the current environment I believe this gentleman is telling the truth and he is no different than many others like himself who buy watches for the wrong reasons.

It's true. I have a friend who probably has one of the best private collections around and he doesn't set his watches. For me, it's part of the experience. I used to use a winder but stopped because I prefer winding and setting my watches. To each their own.

part of the fun is how accurate good watches can be.......

Maybe he meant that someone else sets the time on his watches for him?

Is that rapper Fat Joe? I recognize Jaysee Lopez.

Maybe the solution is to make such people feel stupid.

That thing is off by four hours. You paid $25,000 for a watch that can't even tell the time!

At least a quartz with a dead battery is right twice a day!

Probably a millennial thing just like IG and Twitter…

My manger who first told me about Rolex didn't set his GMT... turned me off Rolex for years

To be fair setting the gmt hand can be a pia. It’s why my gmt is a gs quartz.

Now not setting the time at all… sighs.

I'll admit sometimes I don't set my watch right away after putting it on, usually only happens when I'm in a rush. But when I get a second I do set it.

Was at the pub with my dad last year, was outside and tried his daydate champagne dial and said its hard to read the time....... his response was 'I look at my phone for the time'

[WatchGuy1966]

There may be youngsters out there that don't know how to read the analog time

But that guy is just flexing. He does not appreciate the watch. He just wants people to think he's rich

ugh

A rock hyrax could be trained to read an analogue watch given time and patience. But you’re right.

weird that you wouldn't set the time on your watch, esp when one wrist.

What kind of idiot wears a watch and doesn't set it?
Well even his un set Rolex is correct twice a day. ( I assume he does not wind it either).

You must assume he doesn’t move his arm to engage the automatic winding…

I like to set the time on my watch to the nearest second, what I like about fine watchmaking is precision. Those who do not adjust their watch should put on a gold bracelet instead...

I actually don’t set mine very accurately. I look at the time on my phone, then set my watch a minute or two ahead.

Am I like the only one that actually uses the hacking mechanism so I can set my watch to atomic time?

No. It's funny that I just did that like an hour ago setting time on my DJ41. I usually use my cable box clock or phone, but I noticed they were actually a few seconds' difference. So, for the very first time. I Google Atomic Time and all set.
