>>18152444There are people in these threads who sperg out every time a watch under 42mm is posted. Meanwhile I'm getting diamond hard for this 31mm Patek.
>>18152449why even look at something youll never be able to afford
>>18152449Looks great aside from the hands and the penny size.
>>18152444Damn that's nice
shitters lmfao

>>18152444Dang another brutal mogging
>>18152449My wrists are really wide and I prefer a more full look when it comes to watches due to wearing bulky digital sports watches when I was younger
>>18152449That actually looks quite nice, although the lug width could have been a bit smaller.
What's the point of a mechanical watch in this day and age? Even if you like them why would you want to get fucked over by some slimy jeweler just for sake of perceived luxury.
>>18152535There's only one reason and that's the cool factor. A lot more people find a mechanical watch impressive nowadays compared to a quartz watch due to growing up with iPhones and the like.The idea of all these finely crafted gears and springs working together so meticulously to keep time is astounding
since we're talking about small watches, should I get this 90's Formula 1 Tag fixed and cleaned for $100?I have forgotten about it from way back
>>18152556A bit small, but it could look nice with some colorful NATO.Now the questions, does it run?, quartz or battery? (I suppose it is a quartz watch). If it runs with a battery, maybe just some glass polishing would be enough.If its acrylic glass, you can polish it yourself for cheap with polywatch or similar, if real glass, if real glass, then proper glass polishing paste.
>>18152535Why are you so egotistical and arrogant that you believe anyone needs to answer or explain anything to you?
>>18152493>old 1815 had solid gold hands>new one has some "metal" that's blued latter looks more striking, but the former is goldwhich do you choose?
>>18152535Same reason I like cars, trains and planes.
>>18152535They look nice and they’re cool. It’s as simple as that.
>>18152493Yes, the Patek mogs the Shitemont.

>>18152449Small watch gang gang.I'm a manlet with babby wrists so mid-century sizes (33-37mm) look just right.
Any of you guys wear vintage watches exclusively?
>>18152645Does /wt/ have a problem with Teddy?
>>18152690yeah, hes a massive fag
>>18152691Isn’t that every watch-related content creator?
>>18152693pretty much
Suggest a watch for me: -Budget: $150-200Watch type: uhh, casual-ish? I like my SNKL, its classy, but still casual. -Movement: I'd prefer automatic-Desired features: seconds hand at 6oclock position similar to >>18152449 but saw a couple others at 9, 12, or 3 oclock that seemed to look good. Added date complication would be nice too. I'm thinking a subtle color like a dark blue or green, but a white/creme face might look good too. Strap: No strong preference really, I like the metal bracelet on my SNKL, the expanding spring metal bands are nice, but otherwise a decent leather would be nice too. Size: Not sure my exact wrist size and I don't care. I generally prefer 36mm faces, 38 feels slightly too big to me, but nobody has ever told me 38mm looks too big on me. Pic is my SNKL, just love it.
>>18152645Do they all share the same movements?
>>18152698Pic I think is 38mm, almost feels too big. I'd like a subtle coloration, silver is fine and I don't have any gold watches but I think if there were gold accents I wouldn't be opposed: similar to seiko's with black, brown, or blue dials and gold indeces and hands. A white/cream color face might be good too. Most of my watches are numberless because fonts are tricky to get right in my view.
>>18152698Save more and buy a Baltic
>>18152705I think I saw 1 on aliexpress or something for $300 and -kinda- liked it but got spooked by ordering from the chinese website. The cursive numerals is whats putting me off of them.
>>18152698just stick with the seiko, get another strap for it if you want another look. Otherwise I think your looking at surgees >>18152556yes, no brainer>>18152506kofe time (please kys) >>18152493weird claim all good watches are made by the swiss >>18152449watch would look great if it was in an adult size >>18152665they cost like $30 and work well enough Bros should I just go the hoodlum route and rob someone of their rolex
>>18152732>just stick with the seikoI like my Seiko, I do often consider getting another. But I don't think Seiko offers an offset seconds hand like the Baltics, or those old-style watches. I really like mid-century design for furniture and fashion, was hoping for something like that but not $600 for a Baltic.

>>18152770Yes
>moreece lecux>raymondo wheelWho buys these? Anyone ever seen anyone wear one?
>>18152535to show yourself and others just how much disposable income you have, the insides of the watch are irrelevant
First pagani shitter. Pretty nice for the 40~ bucks I've paid
>>18152787Not bad
>>18152778That’s the rapper mentality and why Jacob and Co makes watches.
>>18152787real shame they have a 24hr subdial instead of running seconds, I thought the bicompax quartz shitters kept the more useful subdial
Really love this shade of green, to the point where I'm interested in any watch that has it. Are there any other automatics under $1k with this face color?
>>18152817Nigga you're like 4 years late to the "tiffany blue dial" trend.
>>18152817Do you like mint choc chip icecream?
>>18152820nta but whats the new trend?
>>18152820I haven't kept up with the trends. Sorry.>>18152823No, but I do love pistachio.
>>18152838Not the anon, but from what I see, a lot of bright summer colors (orange, aqua, yellow). See Nomos, Breitling, Norquain, etc.
>>18152499Hovestly thought it was a grand seiko at first. What is the refrence number?
>>18152775I almost bought a ray wiel but then I said fuck it and didnt. Looked very nice though, but 2k seemed steep for a nice looking watch that I couldn't brand mog people with. Then I spent $500 on a gucci automatic so what do I know >>18152838summer colours seems to be what everyone is offering, light blue, orange, purple, yellow.Might walk into a rolex ad and ask for a sub no date you think ill get it?
>>18152912It seems like a sunray dial from photo so probably AQ4080-52A
I don't wear a watch because I live in a third world shithole and it's basically announcing to potential muggers to mug me

Does this strap-watch combo work as something a bit less dressy than black leather?
The late grandmother's watch
>>18153034Oh, yeah. Big time.
i was taking off my 1950s soviet sportivnie watch and it fell on my bed, then slid off my bed, and then fell on the wood floor. the plexiglass crystal is cracked at the edge, but it's still holding time and working as normal. how badly did i fuck this thing up? i feel pretty bad because i doubt the watch has been dropped like that before and it's from 1957.
>>18153057I was also thinking of trying something like this
>>18153059is it still water resistant?
Sexo..
do any of you wautchists dirtbike? Looking for a watch I can wear out on the trails.Thinking the GSHOCK Rangeman (GW9400-3), $250 leafdollars. There is also a Casio SGW100B-3V for $50. Is the difference in toughness that much? Will this survive me dirtbiking?
>>18153229split the difference and get a solar square for like 120
>>18153229just get m5610u
I'm retarded. How do I tell if a clasp is pressed or milled? Thickness?

>>18153272>thicknessI suppose yesone will look like it's made from soda can with extra steps, the other one will look like it's cut from a bigger piece of metal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯you do realize what the words mean by themselves right?
>>18153289in that case might as well go with the cheaper one, unless you like the more expensive more by the lookseither watch should survive more than what you would, at the worst case scenario, you will be able to afford either of those watches to replace when your insurance pays out for the lost arm

Are stamped clasps and hollow end links that bad?
>>18153582Assert your dominance by coming back with a grandfather clock strapped to your wrist
>>18153695No
this is $50, should I get it?
>>18153722It's an SD1953, check out the many youtube reviews.
>>18153722Is it bad? Not really, but I'd get a Duro over it for the same money
>>18153730I was thinking about getting the duro, but the SD has better materials being honest, and I don't like quartz that much
>>18153325WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSSSEEEE
>>18153528based
>>18153744>but the SD has better materials being honestWhat do you mean? Isn't it SS with mineral glass crystal?>I don't like quartz that muchI prefer cheap quartz over cheap automatic. If you want an automatic cheap diver how about the Invicta pro diver?
>>18153745wh-what?
>>18153755>What do you mean? Isn't it SS with mineral glass crystal?it's SS, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, solid end links and milled clasp. Comes with a NH35 movement, same as the invicta pro diver.
>>18152444Can anyone identify this watch plz?Looks like an old Cartier, but which model?
>>18153765maybe a Pasha
>>18153763>sapphire crystalFuckers can't put sapphire in the 2030 without going automatic but they will put it in the diver? REEEEE
>>18152701>Pic I think is 38mm, almost feels too big. You're a woman?
>>18153551Your watch is ok but you have a tiny wrist, it's so pathetic it looks like a wall clock on you
>>18153780Nta but that's how I want my watch but I have big wrists so only ones that can manage that are meme watches like diesel or whatever
>>18153776Stop being an idiot. I'm ordering you to stop being dumb.
>>18153695It's mostly about comfort. Stamped clasps and hollow endlinks can be comfy if done well, on cheap watches they are usually shit
Suggest a watch for me. ><$1500>Diver>Automatic>Date window preferred, ideally at 6>Bracelet>6.25” wristlet, so 39mm or smaller (38 with 46 l2l seems to be my sweet spot)Current watches in my collection include a green baby alpinist, black jazz master, brew metric, and blue San Martin bb58 (38mm version and my beater in the truest sense of the word- looking for a main daily dive watch that isn’t a Chinese shitter)Looking primarily at the CW C60 300. I wish the SPB143 came in a smaller size because I really like the look of it and I’m okay with the movement that’s in my baby alpinist. Open to used/grey market.

>>18153909Modesty is a virtue even when you’ve done something noteworthy to earn your wealth. Especially so when you’ve contributed nothing to the world and are riding on daddy’s coattails. There is nothing wrong with being wealthy, and you have beautiful watches, but your attitude is ugly and nothing you put on will make up for that. I’d rather rock my Seikos and CW than be anything like you. Douche.

Are they not primarily utilitarian by nature, followed by individual taste? If I buy a Patek calatrava it’s because I find value in the craftsmanship and aesthetic, not to flex on people who wear Citizen and Tissot.

Would you pay USD 46,000 for a Chinese watch?
lol
>>18154274I wouldn't pay 46,000 IRR for a Chinese watch.
>>18154222>/wt/ bros, if you were making $60k a year, would you spend $1k on a watch?That's too broad a question. Is that $60k before or after taxes? Is that $60k your salary or salary plus investment returns? What do your expenses look like? Do you live in on the expensive coasts or cheap flyover states? Any debts, like car or school? What percentage of your salary are you saving/investing?If your financial situation is shitty enough, it's possible you can be making 60k and shouldn't spend 2 dollars on a gas station hot dog.
>>18154222>would you spend $1k on a watch?I wouldn'tI like quartz & simple designs and I don't care about the "prestige" of brands so I can get an amazing watch for half that

>>18154350I was eyeing the PRX. But after learning that the Carrera comes in this color too, I'm thinking of spending a couple of months saving up for it.
>>18154403well sounds like you haven't yet made nothing even close to 100k
>>18154399Too banged up. I also don't really like the design. You could find similar vintage Seikos for cheap if you want that look.

>>18154461>Who keeps that much loose cash wtfPeople with enough brains to get their hands on that much money but not enough brains to do anything smart with it.
>>18154476>That much moneyIt's 800 minimum, let's be lenient and say there's a few hidden fifties so 1000. 1000€ isn't a lot or hard to getIt's just stupid to carry around in cash. Almost no places accept hundreds and some don't accept fifties
>>18154411I would try it on at a boutique or ad first before you drop $3k on it.
>>18154481>Almost no places accept hundreds and some don't accept fiftieslol?
>>18154490I ended up having to take a hundred to the bank because I couldn't break it anywhere I went. No restaurant, bar/cafe or store accepted it
>>18154493Where the fuck was that retard lmfao. Are you the shitskin with coke nails?
>>18154493Same. Often times it's not because they don't accept it but they simply can't make change. No one uses cash anymore. Just too easy to tap your card against a scanner.I still carry around a couple hundred but not in large bills anymore.
>>18154499You useful idiots.
What is the smallest thinnest square casio that still has decent water resist?

>>18154493That's never happened to me, but I guess that's totally dependent on where you live.
>>18154476I mean I keep like 10K cash in my house for just in case shit but I don't walk around with that much, usually walk around with 200
i want a sub so much bros, redpill me because everyone says to get an old one. How old? If I went into the rolex store and asked for one would I get it or would it be like a year wait
>>18154516>I mean I keep like 10K cash in my house for just in case shitIn what scenario do you think having immediate access to $10,000 cash is a necessary thing? Sounds more like you're anticipating an impulse purchase of a toy and don't' want to dick around the bank for an hour getting that much cash. Keeping some cash, maybe $2k in a safe place is reasonable, but $10k seems excessive considering it shouldn't be difficult to go get it, insurance doesn't cover that much if it gets stolen or destroyed (fire) and there just isn't a conceivable scenario where you'd need that much instantly.

>>18154522For that matter, why not invest that 10k? With inflation, that 10k is actually becoming worth less every day.

Answer me this, nerds.Let’s pretend I have x money for a watch.You all agree on what I should get for that amount.It’s logical and great but where’s our individuality in that?
I see the bitterboys have skipped seething about other anon's having nice watches and have gone straight to seething about the concept of money itself.Honestly, I didn't expect that.
>>18154535The individuality is not really caring if you buy it or not. individuality is not being quirky and unique getting something that is 1 of 1 or being contrarian and getting something nobody recommends.
Is there anything more based than gold casios?
>>18154535>It’s logical and great but where’s our individuality in that?If everyone agrees, it means that it is universally, across the board, the best at that budget. Despite the many differences, one option is so far above the rest that there's really no point in discussing it because the advantage or value it gives must be so incredible that all widely different tastes unanimously agree it's the best.As such, taking anything else at that budget would simply be pure retardation, because even something like it being overly popular or wanting to be unique will have likely been taken into account
>>18154535Would you rather be a unique little snowflake, or have stuff that's worth a shit? Do you have the kind of money that you can spend $10k on a really whatever watch and go "oh well?"
>>18154522its for just in case shit, like if the world ended and you needed to bribe someone for a passport or something. My wife is from a shithole country and feels good we have it. I have a gold bar too for the same reason (in case shit happens but really to shut the wife up about one more thing she nags me about)
>>18154565What model is that?
>>18154566>its for just in case shit, like if the world ended and you needed to bribe someone for a passport or something.If the world ended your cash is worthless. The only time you can't access your bank accounts but money is still worth a damn is when you're getting tracked by the government, so what the fuck are you up to?
>>18154577Ah for fucks sake.
>>18154566>its for just in case shit, like if the world ended and you needed to bribe someone for a passport or something.If the end of the world happens you're not bribing anyone with $10k, let alone getting a passport and flying anywhere. >My wife is from a shithole country$10k might get you over the border from whatever flavor of mexico she's from. Or is it whatever communist asian jungle?>I have a gold bar too for the same reasonis it a 1 ounce bar, or a 1kilogram bar? Because if its anything other than 1 kilo and the end of the world is happening, you essentially have a coupon to be robbed. Say I have an airplane, a pile of food, a whole bunch of guns, and some friends. You and your tardwife show up with $10k cash and a couple couple ounces of gold. You know what I'm doing? I'm taking both and telling you to walk back where you came from. Could cash be useful? Maybe in large quantities, but $10k is such a small amount for actual emergencies. Before the week is out, take $8000 (or more) of that and put it in the bank, even a CD would be better than rotting in the closet. You're not doing anything significant in an actual disaster with $10k.

hey watchqueers I need a replacement for my gshock rangeman need less bulky but same amount of knock and abuse resistance budget $500 +/-
>>18154735take your pick of whichever of the other gshocks is less bulky & you like, I suppose
>>18154532Money market fund would give you $500/yr for free while keeping it liquid and not having the risk of downturns. For long term, stocks though.
>>18154735Why not a gshock square? GW-5000U, GW-5610U, or steel if you want to spend at the upper range of your budget and don't mind the extra weight https://www.casio.com/us/watches/gshock/product.GMW-B5000D-1/

>>18154694I had a client come in today and we were talking about watches, he has a small fortune in watches and basically only wears his smart watch. His reasoning was he felt a bit like a jerk wearing a super nice watch around his staff and customers, and no need to wind/maintain the smart watch.
>>18154735Redpill me on the range, I'm thinking of getting one to wear when I go dirtbiking. Is it not comfortable?

Wristlet here looking for my first big-boy watch. Was considering the Black Bay 54 but saw this new 38mm Oris. Should I go slightly funky or keep it reserved?
>>18154809Try them both on and see which you like better.
>>18154087I’ve heard nothing but good things lately
Last week I got a Casio a168 for $20 at Walmart just for shits and giggles and I was really surprised by how light and comfortable it was to wear. I resized the bracelet for my girlfriend to see if she would like it for work and other less formal stuff and she really likes it, too. Now I am Casioless :(
>>18154809>Should I go slightly funky or keep it reserved?Your day to day fashion should dictate that bro what's your weekday vs weekend wardrobe like
>>18154820I wear graphic tees, hoodies & chino
>>18154820I only wear final fantasy t shirts and jeans
>>18154820I wear business casual to work and have way too many floral print shirts
>>18154809The oris looks good but I'm shocked they're only doing it in green of all colors. Then they have a limited edition white and blue one that looks awesome. Why do they do that shit? They should have just done runs in the green, the blue, and one or two other colors like red and white.It's really hard to bead a bb54 though.
>>18154809>only one option with gold handsYou know what to do.
>>18154735Gshock 6900 or if you want no bulk at all, 5610
>>18154784nah it's fine, had it ten years and just lost it somewhere. granted I have no clue how the barometer/temp/altitude stuff worked so I never used them
>>18154819get another one, they're nice shitters. this one has been my fave so far compared to my other ones
>>18154222probably not but i bought stupider shit that cost a lot more than that when I made $60k
>>18154809Avoid the oris like the plague. If not for shitter status then for the fact that it comes with their failure cal.400. Avoid that shit. Don't believe me? Look up the gorillions of accounts of that calibre and how everyone that owns one, aka all the cucks that have agreed to be oris' guinea pigs for a new movement, have had nothing but problems. No exceptions.avoid avoid avoidIf you must oris, then stick to their sellita movements.
What watch does Putin or other strong world leaders wear?
Is pic related too small? Got it as a gift a few years ago but seldom wear it due it it being too dressy for casual.
>>18154871Here it is on leather
>>18154871>>18154875It's the perfect dress watch size on leather, on the nato it might work if you're dressed "retro casual" like a t-shirt tucked into jeans, think James Dean or a young Brando.
>>18154877What about if I put it on a leather strap with more visible texture and stitching? Would that be considered more casual? I love the Tangente dial and I really want more opportunities to wear it outside of cocktail parties, weddings, and conferences.
>>18154769Ok how do I buy that?
>>18154917Seems like a really dirty, distracting place to do watch work.
Good watch? I have 7 Inch wrists but I'm 6'2" so I sometimes think I a tank would make my wrist look too small...

34mm kang
>>18155006>34mm >male Snicker
>>18154809Wrist size?,I'm a wristlet myself, about 6.5-6.7 inches, at some point I considered Oris aquis cal400,but read somewhere that it was a strange movement,to set hands correctly you had to go backwards and that the movement even if it had fine adjustment system, didn't came adjusted and even some watch had Seiko levels of adjusting. In the end it was two watches Inreally liked,Tudor black bay 58 and the new Longines Legend Diver (39mm), Inguess I bought bb58 because it was less flashy. I also checked bb54,but felt it was rather small and I already had a small 37mm diver and a diver feels better when they are not very small but also not enormous and bb58 looked like it had the best size,did not feel like an undersized watch and had some extra colour and bezel design,maybe I'm an autist,but disliked the bb54 bezel being white while dial being golden and not having that nice red triqngle.And the size,as you can see is fine as fuck,no big,no small.
>>18155009Ain't my fault I was cursed with manlet/wristlet genes and anything bigger than mid-century sizes looks cartoony on me.
>>18155009I saw a guy wearing a blue air king with the explorer numerals. Pretty perfext watch. Yeah he was a string bean but it was the perfect watch for him.
>>18154879>Would that be considered more casual?yes
>>18153528holy fucking kino
>>18153528lol
>>18155029ew why are you so fat
>>18155063Food around here is very tasty.
>>18154871it's good. you may also check for other colors or striped nylon with contrasting accents to make it more casual looking as what I did >>18154245 >>18154879it will work. you may also test other bolder leather strap colors with the texture and prominent stitching, or even a rubber, and see if it goes well or not. a steel mesh may also be an option for variety, it works for casual wear at least for me.
is this a good watch? i like the black titanium jap autism look
>>18155103Attesa is the second highest tier Citizen so it should be fine.
>>18155103what does the no rx ok -10 mean
>>18155110holy shit looks like a secret code
>>18155110It's part of the radio/satellite sync, it's how it keeps perfect time, but most important that's how the Bilderbergs track you and relay your positional history to your government.
>>18155110It means you're gay.
Is it okay to be gay for pay for a Rolex?I'd say it definitely is, but how about for a Tudor?
>>18155116If you want a rolex, you have to use your tooter.
>Browsing a watch store>see three hand watch>Mecha-quartz movement>google it>average 20 dollar Seiko quartz movement.
>>18155113They can't track these, it's only a receiver, not a transmitter
>>18155121That's what they want you to think.
Not watches but I'm sure some of you are knowlegable about pens, is the Lamy 2000 worth it? Redditors and fountain pen network are just consooooomers who aren't critical with their purchases.Good pen or overrated?
>>18155130not sure bro i use a twsbi eco with iron gall ink
>>18155116just think of gay rolex as grand gay tudor
>>18155130>Good pen or overrated?Lamy was just bought out and I don't know how their quality has changed with their new ownership, but the quality had been pretty hit-or-miss before.In terms of construction and leakages, etc, none. The pens are well-made in that regard, but in terms of nib tuning, I've owned 3 Lamy 2000s and, out of the box, one nib wrote perfectly, one nib needed minor tuning and one was completely unsalvageable and needed to be replaced under warranty.
>>18155134Would you recommend it at $180?This shit was $100 just 10 years ago
>>18155139It's still a decent pen at 180 but, in that price category, I would not rate it as a better pen than the cheaper Pilot Custom 74 or Platinum 3776.(If you want a piston filler, the Pilot Custom 92 is basically a piston filling 74)I will admit that the Lamy 2000 looks better than all of them, though.
>>18155145hey anon, do you have a recommendation for a can't go wrong starter fountain pen? My budget is 50$. I'll use it for regular writing. I thought about buying the Pilot Metropolitan (either the G2 refill version or the fountain version). I want a metallic pen that'll last for a while. Thank you.
>>18155148>do you have a recommendation for a can't go wrong starter fountain pen?TWSBI EcoPilot MetroDiplomat Magnumare ones that I've had good experiences with. They're cheap enough to where you can buy some nice ink and paper and stay under your budget.
>>18155103vomitus
>>18155121lol if it can be pinged it's being tracked
>video game zoomers don't know what small seconds is>probably can't even read an analog clockWe're getting old, bros. We're dying off.
>>18155187It has no transmitter, only a receiver, meaning it can only receive signals, it can not emit them. How hard is this to understand?
>>18155193They don't TELL you it has a transmitter.
>>18155193You can ping a receiver dumb idiot. How do you think they fucking found people with illegal radio receivers in WW2?
>>18155199Do explain please.
>>18155197Got any proof?
>>18155202Look on their website, there is no mention of transmitters.
>>18155200Do you not have google?
>>18155192I'm 30 & I didn't know what the fuck that was and I still don't know why it existsFucking hate it
>>18155209No, I don't.
>>18155214You don't know why small seconds exists?
>>18155235yeah, what's the advantage over a second hand?
>>18155236It was the original second hand before the central second hand. It tells you the seconds. Also it can allow the watch to be very slightly thinner because more parts are required to put seconds in the center. Also it's a different style you might just like.
>>18155130I haven't written with mine for years but it's "the perfect pen" as long as you fit the following:>student that writes notes in lectures>whitecollar wagie that needs to scribble notes in meetingsFor either it is apt because:>holds a lot of ink>can remain uncapped for longer than a regular nib>quick uncapping, literally no screwing around >not flashy or attention grabbing: just looks like some pen from a distanceIf you don't require it for any of the above reasons you can safely look elsewhere and not miss out on much.I bought a bunch when they were cheaper than they are now whenever the local lamy dealer had a sale.The only one that gave me trouble was the BB, which is a common problem these days with german nibs. Baby's bottom issues. I have no idea if they've fixed it.A Japanese stationery company that made Mitsubishi pencils bought Lamy. Apparently they're in good hands.
