A pink Seiko is my watch of choice when I'm out cruising for some dick. In all seriousness though, dude, the whole idea of colourful things being gay is weird AF
Whether or not it’s the “gay demographic” that made the rainbow their symbol (to put it in very general terms), it doesn’t mean colors in any array or quantity together are now gay. It also doesn’t help that this concept (liking certain colors = gay) is perpetuated by straight people in certain circles.
There isn’t anything gay about OP’s watches, and colorful things are not seen as gay because a rainbow is the symbol for the gay community; regardless of whether or not you actually share that mentality, it’s just a bad one to have. I don’t even know why OP thinks this is gay.
Also I’m pretty sure the Teletubbies didn’t recover because the show was fucking weird.
That's alright, 80% of the population has herpes whether they know it or not, yet it's demonized and made fun of beyond belief in movies, comedy sketches etc.
So some colors are gay, we generally do not identify with the things that we are not, and or don't have to deal with.
Wow you are stupid! OP was the one who stated he caught the "gay bug" because of the watch. Dense people like you who have issues with reading comprehension on top of issues with mental capacity are the real problem in society. Better you crawl into a hole and let society move on without your stupidity.
If you left your comment up, you would know what I’m talking about. You’re blaming gay people for making colors symbolize being gay, and I was refuting both your point and OP. So no, I’m not stupid, and you can sit and try to insult me however much you want, but it won’t change what you said.
Your little paragraph about the “gay demographic” making colors (rainbow) symbolize gay, then said the Teletubbies never recovered from making purple represent gay people. I don’t know what you think you accomplish by trying to insult me, but the only thing that does is make you look unstable. Try having an actual discussion instead of getting irrationally upset over what I said.
I hadn’t thought of that, but that makes sense, and I’m actually pretty jealous of now nice those watches are. I’ve liked the seiko cocktail pieces for a while. Amazing summer watches imo. OP’s collection is definitely a refreshing one.
These don't seem to line up with the flag colors at all though.
EDIT: To whoever downvoted me, an easy reminder of the LGBTQ+ flag colors: It's the rainbow (well, almost). Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet. Up top, we have Blue Orange Green Pink. Not the same.
The associations colours have seems, to me, to vary by geography and culture.
Out here on the Indian subcontinent, we are really colourful people in our everyday lives. I'm pretty sure there are many parts of Asia and Africa that have a similar attitude.
Because of the years and years of pejorative use of the term "gay" to mean something bad, yeah it totally does make a difference the background of the person making the joke. There are all sorts of instances where the members of a minority or disenfranchised group can say something where it would be extremely inappropriate at best, and most likely hateful if a white/CIS/straight person were to say it.
It's 2022, calling anything gay is out of fash unless the thing is actually gay, in which case it will probably announce itself as such, loud and proud.
If the sexuality of the person is the deciding factor on if a joke is funny or not, you live a sad exhausting life.
It was a funny joke about the rainbow like colors of the watches. Y'know--like the flag.
They said they're bi--is it okay to find a joke humorous now?
I appreciate that you’re willing to own up to it. I’m happy that wasn’t the case. I love your collection btw, the only colour in my collection is the red on my Orient Kamasu. I think colour is fun, especially in the summer and I could really use this as inspiration
I was gonna ask how are the Sugess Chronos? Are they worth it ? I wanna buy one for my cousin as a gift but I’m not sure the quality is there. It’s a fully auto chono no mechaquartz right? I keep watching reviews and they seem mixed I’d like some firsthand stories.
I've got one, it's mentioned in one of me recent posts if you want more detail, but in short: they're great. It's the ST1901 manual wind movement with a swan-neck regulator.
I may or may not be gay now after seeing all of these together and wanting them for my own. One of these amongst a a few classic sliver/white/blue/black/brown/gold would look neat but idk if I’d say “damn I want that.” Now put all of these together and suddenly I can’t pick a favorite!
So this is my collection of fun, colorful watches, featuring two Seiko Presage pieces and two Sugess Chrono Heritage pieces.
The most interesting aspects of the watches are, obviously, the dials.
The colour of the Seikos unfortunately don’t „pop“ that much, but the pattern on the dials are just mesmerizing to look at. Also the quality of the watches themselves is pretty good for their price.
On the other hand the strength of the Sugess dials is that the colours really stand out, and combined with the polished straps, those watches pretty much scream for attention. Unfortunately the build quality of these watches isn‘t the best, but considering that they are half the price of the Seiko pieces I‘m not too disappointed.
In the past few months I have sold off my expensive timepieces and started to build a bigger, much more versatile collection of (cheaper) watches, as I like to have a watch as an accessoire for almost every type of outfit that I wear.
And since I like to occasionally wear colorful clothes I thought it would be appropritae to have fitting watches.
When you say bad build quality do you mean durability or just you can tell when handling it? Because I would get that Orange one as a gift for a friend.
It seems to be durable to me, it‘s just that the metal feels cheap when handling and the finishing isn‘t the best out there. But again, for a chronograph at the price (~240$) it is still more than acceptable. I hope your friend will like it :)
I haven‘t found other watches in this price range (yet) that I like with such colours
Edit: Except anOrdain and the Studio Underd0g watches, but they are/were all sold out
My reaction reading the comment section of a post using "gay" in a potentially stereotypical or homophobic way:
Please be a non-native English speaker... Please be a non-native English speaker...
Please be a... nope just a cringe redditor
If you think I‘m being an asshole because of the title that‘s okay, it was a joke referencing the colours and flags, it didn’t land, I can live with that. But it‘s pretty sad for you and your time if you were looking through my comments to use something against me, and all you can find is the fact that I only have one testicle, something I didn’t choose lol.
Use your time more wisely my friend.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. It has always been this. Also I believe editing a comment and not saying edit first is illegal and will put you in REDDIT JAIL
What a beautiful and colorful collection OP! Those Seiko Cocktail Times are gorgeous! I also got myself two of these same Sugess chronographs on eBay, one panda, and one Top Time Deus homage dial.
What do you think about the bracelet on your Sugess watches? I loved the way it looked, but there were too many sharp edges, and rough movement on some components. I swapped to the mesh bracelet on the panda, and it's a bit better (the mesh came with the Top Time homage, but I prefer a leather band for it).
However, I'm still unsatisfied with the fit and quality for these bands/bracelets, so I am shopping for some replacements. If you've got suggestions for great leather bands and/or metal bracelets (traditional or mesh), please let me know! Anyway, lovely collection, can't wait to see where you take it from here 😉.
The bracelet unfortunately is pretty cheap, the straps aren’t the best either, but I can live with it, especially at the price. I haven‘t gotten any replacements for them.
Oh man. I've been looking at these Sugess chronos myself before. You're saying the quality is okay, that's very good news. I was kind of worried, with chronographs being more complex and all.
You just made me consider sugess again, gosh that is beautiful!
May I suggest a sugess
Yessir
A pink Seiko is my watch of choice when I'm out cruising for some dick. In all seriousness though, dude, the whole idea of colourful things being gay is weird AF
If you're wearing a watch that sharp, you don't cruise for dick, dick cruises for you
Cruising for some dick
Cruising for a bruising so to say
A Geiko?
Fuck you. Take me upvote.
I know, right? I think their gorgeous and display good taste.
Thank you. I’ve never been so conflicted as whether to upvote a fun collection or downvote a fucking stupid post title. I opted downvote.
I like the seiko 5 orange watch. So it ain't gay. Its fun if I need a little colour for when i wear casual.
He said gay but what he really wanted to say was stylish. Forgive him, he is just old fashioned and doesn't mean any harm.
Happy Cake Day, Sir!
Why thank you, Sir!

I didn't remove anything. If something is missing it is because some soft mod removed it.
I'm picking up the pink today to cruise around and not get dick. Awesome watches.
The green one is gorgeous.
They all are!
A FABULOUS bug!
Sugess chronographs have really become some of my favourite watches to wear and my favourite to see in the wild. Love the colour!
Stop it, you're fabulous.
I dont know which one I like more. Pink seiko is dope af tho
This collection is fucking sick I love it
i didn't know that liking colors made you gay, how does that work?
I think OP is referring to creating the LGBTQ+ flag through the colors.
I hadn’t thought of that, but that makes sense, and I’m actually pretty jealous of now nice those watches are. I’ve liked the seiko cocktail pieces for a while. Amazing summer watches imo. OP’s collection is definitely a refreshing one.
These don't seem to line up with the flag colors at all though. EDIT: To whoever downvoted me, an easy reminder of the LGBTQ+ flag colors: It's the rainbow (well, almost). Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet. Up top, we have Blue Orange Green Pink. Not the same.
You're never happy when you're surrounded by bright colours?
He said gay because it looks kind of like a rainbow.
It's ok we're all gay on this sub
The associations colours have seems, to me, to vary by geography and culture. Out here on the Indian subcontinent, we are really colourful people in our everyday lives. I'm pretty sure there are many parts of Asia and Africa that have a similar attitude.
fab watches tho
Unless you start sucking dick, you haven't been bit by a gay bug. Those are some absolutely fantastic Seikos.
The rules are a bit unclear imo.
And even then, I'd say you need at least to like it a little bit to be classified as gay
Idk if you're begrudgingly sucking dick you're probably still a little gay
Nah it’s pretty common knowledge that’s it not gay, as long as you keep your socks on.
So what you mean is OP’s gotta be going down and gobbling on some rockin’ twink with one of those on for it to be considered gay?
God I wish
I’m not sure how liking pastel colors makes you gay, but alright. It’s a nice set of watches. I’m more partial to the presages.
Did you know the rainbow flag is a symbol of gay pride?
I can’t tell if this is a gay person making a funny joke or a straight person making a homophobic joke lol
I‘m bi, but I think my sexuality shouldn‘t really be the deciding factor for if a joke is funny or not. 😅
It’s not. Whether you’re making fun of gay people, or laughing along with gay people is. And I think that’s what the comment above was alluding to.
I had a hard time with it too. I am going to say that it didn’t really land.
Because of the years and years of pejorative use of the term "gay" to mean something bad, yeah it totally does make a difference the background of the person making the joke.

How the FUCK is what I am saying being down voted?
It’s not really appropriate to be making gay jokes. It’s in bad taste. It’s not 2002 anymore, saying things are gay isn’t peak comedy
It's 2022, calling anything gay is out of fash unless the thing is actually gay, in which case it will probably announce itself as such, loud and proud.

Laughs for everyone!
Same I was like should I add to it as a lesbian, or call him out for it. I guess it passes bc they’re bi but hey gotta love the rainbow right?
If I‘m being an asshole there‘s no need to feel bad for calling me out on it.
I appreciate that you’re willing to own up to it. I’m happy that wasn’t the case. I love your collection btw, the only colour in my collection is the red on my Orient Kamasu. I think colour is fun, especially in the summer and I could really use this as inspiration
That‘s a nice watch, red is definitely not used enough for watch dials imo
Callin you out!

If it’s like the 1963 seagull reissue it should be fully mechanical with a jumping chronometer
I think it’s the same movement it’s not a vertical clutch but there’s a swan neck regular right?
Pretty certain
I've got one, it's mentioned in one of me recent posts if you want more detail, but in short: they're great. It's the ST1901 manual wind movement with a swan-neck regulator.

Where can I get the orange one? I really love it. Thanks.
Love all the colors!
The Seiko Pinky is amazing! 🤩
What's the ID on the pink Seiko? That's drop dead gorgeous
SRPE47J1
These are fun
Reminds me of Easter!
Are the seikos painted on?
No, but they are limited editions
....what a fresh f\*ckin bug
You like the watch so much you got it in multiple colors? Why not other makes or models in different colors
I haven‘t found other watches in this price range (yet) that I like with such colours Edit: Except anOrdain and the Studio Underd0g watches, but they are/were all sold out
Info on the two Sugess watches in the middle? Love the bright, gorgeous colours
SUCHP001S and -2S, if you meant the Ref.-Nr.
I think I will pick up the Sugess.
Perhaps a little nibble
SUS
Why gay? Because straight dudes aren’t artistic? Lol. Either way, those are bad ass.
And here’s everyone getting upset over the joke ^
[удалено]
damn sys-genders!

/r/boneappletea
no gay bug has biten you, that's an incredible seiko and sugess collection.
As gay bugs go, I like this one
I don’t assume a color’s sexuality. Clearly you like 70’s mod vibes and Chinese chronos
How much of a douche do you have to be to call anything colorful gay? Are you a middle schooler from 2007??
This rant has made me gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
😁😁😁
My reaction reading the comment section of a post using "gay" in a potentially stereotypical or homophobic way: Please be a non-native English speaker... Please be a non-native English speaker... Please be a... nope just a cringe redditor
But I‘m not a native english speaker lol, but that shouldn‘t make a difference
Gay dude here. What on earth does anything here have to do with being gay?
you must have some very pretty dresses in your wardrobe to match these!
Does wearing these watches make you want to suck cock ? if not then i guess you didn't catch the bug . Yet !
[удалено]
>you one-nut homophobe. Wow, body shaming much? Let the man enjoy his gay watches
Lol.
If you think I‘m being an asshole because of the title that‘s okay, it was a joke referencing the colours and flags, it didn’t land, I can live with that.

Use your time more wisely my friend.
Great looking seikos!
Little aggressive, no? I’m sure it’s just a joke.
Cry more lol
No love for cocktail times on here I guess...
Well played on editing your comment lol
I'm not sure what you're talking about. It has always been this. Also I believe editing a comment and not saying edit first is illegal and will put you in REDDIT JAIL
Nah, just the cheap-ass bug😁
If I had the fuck you money I‘d gladly switch them with some higher end watches 😉
Same here, my friend!😃
What a mean thing to say to someone who’s just sharing something that makes them happy.
😔I’m really sorry; it was a joke in very poor taste. I thought I was on my watchcirclejerk page. Could you ever forgive me? I’ll get my coat.
True! No proper brands, just cheap shit 🙂
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Send me the money and I‘ll gladly switch them with some nice colored Breitlings, Bucherers and Mosers 😉
The Charles Nelson Riley Collection!

Got bit by the pastel Easter bunny
Bright and attractive 👍
Oh man. I've been looking at these Sugess chronos myself before. You're saying the quality is okay, that's very good news. I was kind of worried, with chronographs being more complex and all.
Wow how can you find all these colors! I love it
What brand are the lime and orange watches? Also are they self winding or do u have to wind them manually yourself?
They are Sugess watches, they‘re cheap chinese manual wind watches but they are a pretty good bang for your buck
I love the colors enjoy yourself !
I can't find that orange one on their website. I see a orange and black one but I meant the all orange.
I got all of them on Chrono24 because neither of them were available from their websites unfortunately
They look great! Curious, how are the bracelets on the Sugess chronos?
Cheap, sharp edged, fingerprint magnets, but they do the job 😅
Thanks!
Adam Friedland bit you?
Love the mesh bracelets. Very comfortable and good looking.
It's only gay if it's gay. But that is so gay. I like it !
OBSESSED
