Johnkaz Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) After recently reading a post on here regarding a Cartier, which Gunnar Gran described as effeminite, it started me thinking, a macho scale for watches. Here are some of my ideas. Super Macho: The Graham Chronofighter, (it's even got a macho name) Macho: All those big Panerai 47mm jobs. Manly: A nice Rolex sub, or Omega seamaster. Bit Camp: Most of those designer names E.G. Chanel J12 with diamonds. Raging Girly: One of those 5 time zone Jacobs in Yellow. There are many many more examples I am sure you all have, I hope this is a catalyst to get something going. We all have our own ways and I do not wish to offend anybody. I am wearing my Rolex Sub. Do you own a Jacob!!!?? Cheers Johnkaz. Edited November 4, 2006 by Johnkaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkerouac Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 The biggest flaw that I can see with your proposed system is that almost everything popular here is in the Manly category, with occasional forays into the Macho and Bit Camp realms. As a result it seems to me that it would tend to reduce some peoples' inclination to explore the edges, without really differentiating among our more popular choices. For example, I presume that Submariners, GSTs and Bentleys would all fall in the Many category, though the Bentley might actually be a "Bit Camp.". Heck, I might be inclined to put a watch emblazoned with 007 logos into the "Bit Camp" camp. So, would you give us some examples of how your system would play out?

Johnkaz Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'd like to see you tell some hard-nut rapper wearing a Jacob & Co that he is effeminate. Those rappers, what a bunch they are, called Reginald Dork or something then they give themselves names like Hardman Sexgod, and wear girly jewelrey and girly watches, thats not tough. I do have an FM Conquistador though, for my feminine side. Cheers Johnkaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
