Getting me some silly fun?!

I have been wanting something stupid colorful and fun lately! Been looking at the Ocean X Tuttifrutti/rainbow (2 tone🤭) from time to time over the last months, but is it too much? Will I even wear it outside my house!? Will I loose sleep over having such a straight copy homage? And can I pay  400$+ for a watch I'm gonna wear at home and only on special occations when I want to feel like a complete jackass?

But then the sosial media machine put an ad for the Out Of Order L.A. in my face. This is still an homage but has some originality and craftmanship behind it. "Made in Italy". And their thing is to artificially age the steel of their watches. Never heard of them but color me intrigued!! Less stones, half the price, a bit of 80s flare and a more interesting brand 🤔 Will I still feel like pretentious buttwipe then?

Will I be smiling all the way to the grocerystore knowing that I'm still a special little snowflake even though I dipped my toe into the generic BRO-life?

Those ocean X watches look amazing! Never heard of them before, but after a quick look through the website I'm sold! 100% get one, rock it absolutely everywhere and feel utterly gorgeous doing it 👌

I'd go for the Ocean X. I personally don't like the aged steel of the OOO in the picture. If this watch won't break the bank and you know when you'd want to wear this watch why not.

OOO is nothing all that special in my understanding, but that is fine if you're only after a colorful novelty. 

TBH if one has concerns about the amount a watch will be worn before purchase, they are probably correct. The odds of either being a toy that gets played with shortly then forgotten are high. So either buy better with plans to resell, wait and buy used, or just go for the lower priced alternative.

OOO is got some identity, while the Sharkmaster is more like a 1:1. That's all I mean't ☺️ I don't expect any of them to retain any value. And I probably won't find them on the norwegian used market 🤔

Maybe I should go all in when I go for such a "crazy" piece 🤔 But there is the price to consider..

I got some thinking to do!! People might think I'm actually serious while wearing the OOO, but the Sharkmaster leaves no doubt that it's for shits and giggles? Or does it?

I think those are great.  I can't imagine anyone really looking at that Ocean X and thinking "dang, that dude's got a cool real life Rolex".

That never crossed my mind!! It's just a ridiculous no matter the brand 😁
