Further Notes on Watches

Tremblay
Tremblay's watch is a luxury piece. Probably a Tudor Style Fluted Bezel 41mm.
An uncommonly plain watch from Tudor. The clean face and delicate fluted bezel makes this a popular choice for people who want a luxury watch that just looks nice. itās the newest and most expensive watch among our Conclave cardinals.
My watch friend knew he was corrupt the moment he saw the metal bracelet.
'Metal bracelets always cost more. You wear metal bracelets outdoors. If someone is wearing one indoors, they want you to notice them.ā
eta: What does this tell us about his character? watch friend: nothing. Heās a basic bitch.

Tedesco
Tedesco's watch might be a āØvintage 1960 Oris 671 KIFāØ (or a Clues Triomphe. We cannot agree.)
It's so generic-looking, we thought it was a Daniel Wellington at first.
A watch that one buys because of how it looks. The person wearing it hasn't seen much of the world and thinks this is what class and luxury looks like.
But then my friend clocked the bevel and alligator strap. Nevertheless, Oris is old and traditional / conservative and boring to the point of being generic. That's why it left no impression. It's devoid of character.
Oris is undeniably quality Swiss watchmaking, 'but it's easy to forget they exist because they're not creative. They don't experiment outside their comfort zone.'
My friend adds that "Anyone with a decent-paying job can save enough to buy an Oris in their lifetime. It sits somewhere above a Tissot, but below a Tudor. "
Additional note: like Tremblay, Tedesco's watch has a black dial, projecting an image of refinement, quiet confidence and charisma.
____________________________ EXTRA NOTE #1 ____________________________
Bellini's Seiko Dolce is actually swankier than Lawrence's battered Orient Bambino
The Orient Bambino is the good sourdough passed down through generations by grandma, recipe unchanged.
Seiko Dolce is that good sourdough from that one niche bakery in the cool part of the city and you can't get it anymore because it's limited edition.
Disclaimer: Lawrence's watch could also be an old model Longines; we're not 100%.
