I find too many DW trolling post, diagress from intent of the thread.

Or intention is just fun trolling?

So far I think it's reserved for people who asked vague questions like what watch should I buy type or as an inside joke..

Most do get it, this is probably one of the few times I saw its been taken literally.. But that's also partly due to they having not invested in research of something they want to buy.

I could give names like Nomos, Brathwait and many more but I can't afford them and as a person who've never gotten into watches before, you can understand that I won't be willing to spend that much unless I start from somewhere.

Seiko, Orient, Tissot has some designs I like but those are like over 1k >.< thats more than half of my salary
