- Rolex- Casio- Richard MilleThe three kings of watchmaking
BASED
>>18165767kinda hard to read
Are you getting the Montauk before it becomes a rare collectable?
>>18165803No.
>Hey, bro, what time is it?
>>18165803The what now?
>>1816580810:10 is always the most aesthetic time. Never let someone see your watch if it's not 10:10.
>>18165811You never heard of the montauk monster?
I only like 5 watches and 3 of them are Rolex.
>>18165827Which ones do you own?
>>18165828f-91w
First for best watch ever made.
>>18165830a168 and a158 are better.
>>18165834How are they better?
>>18165832challenge: render this with more detail and make it look good
>>18165832>no moonphase>no day>no month>no pulsometer
>>18165817idk if I could wear a watch that says squirtle on the front?
>>18165832I literally need tachymeter.
>>18165832where is the fish map
>>18165836Metal makes them look not quite so much like cheap toy watches, people with sensitive skin or latex or whatever allergies don't have to worry about the resin irritating their skin, they're thinner and wear very comfortably, they can even swing around on the wrist a little bit and still be comfortable. The A158 also has regular 18mm lugs so you can put straps on it without needing one of those goofy adapters.
>>18165846It's not even metal.
>>18165845Kek
>>18165828GMT Master II and Explorer 1Submariner soon!
are there any good purple dial watches for men?Only ones I have found are purple oysters and a purple faced monaco.
>>18165848Maybe he just means the bracelets, which are steel
>>18165848The bracelet is metal. The case is chromed so your skin won't touch resin.
>>18165853Depends on how picky you are.
>>18165858I can't look at the Erebus logo without seeing goatse's hands stretching his asshole.
>>18165861Thats a good thing. A piece of history on your wrist.
Will this thread avoid Japanese prostitutes? Let's hope.
>>18165858I'll never support this company after what they did to Doctor Deepfreeze
>>18165803>>18165817I've been waiting for a warranty repair on a Squale since March, so I'm probably not buying more Squales if this is the way they fuck around.
>>18165783>he wears RM to tell the time
>>18165762>>18165767>>18165803>>18165808>>18165817>>18165822>>18165833>>18165834>>18165858>>18165868Fucking hell those shitters...Someone post a good watch, quick
>>18165812That's WPN or watch photo north, there's 13.50 too, WPS or watch photo south.
>>18165884
>>18165839>no rattrapante
>>18165888nigger
>>18165884>shitters>he can't even afford some of them
>>18165895>he thinks expensive watches can't be shittersPic related is $40k and uses an ETA movement.
>>18165902This watch causes an erection to everyone who sees it, women included.
>>18165907It looks a Samsung smartwatch.
>>18165907I didn't want to be the first one to say it
>>18165902I need an oil temperature gauge on a watch in my life.
>>18165902Is this one of those oil filled watches? Everything interesting aboit the watch is the engineering of the case and how the oil moves so I'd give it a pass for having a basic movement.What eta movement has those subdials?
Confess.
>>18165949I don't own an A. Lange & Söhne 1815.
>>18165949I'm going to get a Longines soon
>>18165949My first expensive watch was a Bell & Ross
>>18165949I want a submariner hulk>>18165961Same.
>>18165949I don't like bittercel.
>>18165858bro thats a nice watch, thanks for the rec
>>18165858you guys like oyster or jubilee bracelets?
>>18165754>>18165767That garbage can't be real
>>18165812The virgin 10:10 vs. the chad 11:05
>>18165817>>18165803The black Montauk is very nice
>>18166036Yeah but i have 30 black dial watches. Almost all watches look good in black but you can't buy EVERY watch in black.......... Can you?
>>18166042No, of course you can't. But the one thing I like about the Montauk is the bezel finishing. Same as the Submariner, and you can't find many other examples today. Almost all watches use this kind of bezel (pic related) which sucks IMO.
>>18166044holy fuck, those hands look so good. Are they made of gold or something?
>>18166046Yes. Tudor watches irl don't live up to their mockup images though.
For that anonus who was looking for a blue diver
Thou vill nevver owne a Mido.
Get one of these for a hundred bucks on eBay: there you go you're now cool(Seethe)
>>18166047Are you sure they're gold? Are you absolutely positive? Do you think the reason they don't hold up IRL might be because they aren't gold?
>>18166060>nickel plated chromeNo thanksAlso, that's too big for u
>>18166072Too big for me? How so, mom?
>>18166071>50 fathoms x swatch homage>USA 1775>Sydney diver
>>18166074Your point?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gQhjBrpA_g
>>18166060This is what tetanus looks like
>>18166086I can tell you what your mom tits anus look like
>>18166087Go on then, describe them.
>>18166066This is what tinnitus looks like.
This dude made a fake rolex using the colors from the little boy side of the pedo pride flag.https://youtu.be/hg-wxQLqzMY?si=lO3QVBQyU8LPPgJ9
>>18166095Pedos didn't invent light blue, faggot.
>>18166095Pottery
>>18166102You don't think the white blue and yellow being present in that combination is a little specific to be a coincidence?
>>18166105Blue & yellow isn't some rare specific color combo. If it was the entire flag then you'd have a point.
>>18165834>>18165836the A168/F105 also have better dimensions for people who don't have baby wrists.
>>18166111All the brands moving up to 40mm and over cases as the standard have done a huge disservice to most of the market. When most people were wearing 34-36mm watches nobody had to risk looking this embarrassing.
>>18166118Say thank to the Jews
Wait.. Grand Seiko is actually the best watch there is.. I thought you were memeing
>>18166124How did the jews stop me from wearing based 33mm watches?
Roko's Basilisk
uno watchlet's go!!
>>18166130A168 with ion plating$100I guess they're even trying to hype up their low end watches, huh..
>>18166103look at that schnozz>>18165949I regularly post my fake rolex in here and I've never been called out on it before
>>18166134You're the one with the 2 tone datejust?
>>18166132What is ion plating? Are there benefits to that?
>>18166135No. If you keep guessing I'll let you know when you're right
>>18166134>I regularly post my fake rolex in here and I've never been called out on it beforeDevilish! Now all Rolexes are suspect!
>>18166137A layer added to color the steel. Here it's gun metal (or dark grey). It may have slight scratch resistance, not sure, maybe other anons know.
>>18166134Based. I have a superclone otw right now.
>>18166139I can't think of anyone else I've seen regularly posting a rolex.
>>18166145not one that didn't get called out anyway. A couple times I've seen someone post a rolex with box and papers and everything and still continue getting the 3rd degree.>yes I know a lot of fakes come with fake box and papers.
>>18165949I will buy a Christopher ward because that damn case shape they made is so tasty.
>>18166137One degree lower than anon plating.
>>18166148Which one? The Twelve?
>>18166150No I'm thinking the trident.
When CW comes up everyone talks about how great the Twelve is but I think the Sealander c63 is low key the best line in the collection.
I don't know if I should buy the vostok amphibia 420059 or the 710059, what do you think?
>>18166158Yeah I was thinking about the blue 39mm nonGMT version of the Sealander but I think I'll get the Trident. I'm going to see what they cough up on sale. Time will tell.
>>18166158>female colourway>wristlet widthevery timeLads why is it so hard to find a cute watch for a man's wrist. same issue with casio, anything I'm like owo cute is like 40mm and belowI'd wear that if I were female
>>18166159710059. Or get the radio room.
>>18166060Nice, finally something different from the usual spamming retards from here>>18166072>>18166086Fuck yourselves, fucking faggots
>>18166162The sealanders come in 2 sizes, 4 cases, 3 movements, 2 bracelet types, and like half a dozen dial and strap colors.
OceAnus about to go on the wrist tonight. Back on it's bracelet after spending some time on the rubber. Anyone know a way to tighten up clasp gap?
thoughts on 5167a vs 5164a?
>>18166197I have no fucking idea what they are but if they're watches I'm sure they're okay.
>>18166200He's talking about Patek Aquanauts you cocksucker
Some anons can afford Pateks..
>>18165949frederique constant
>>18165949i posted my collection yesterday and didn't get as many (You)s as i was hoping but i don't want to repost the same pic because that feels a little desperate
>>18166306please do, posting watches in the watch thread is always welcome
>>18166306Do it, at least you won't be like the same citizen and seiko retards that keeps spamming the pics on every wt thread
shittizen is so ugly
>>18165667What local boutiques for $1000 retarded poor loser? Papa Gino's Shitterinos?
The value of my Seiko 5 shitter has appreciated nicely over the last few years. Lower your tone when you speak to me.
>>18165949I bought another watch.
is junghans good?
Kofe time.
>>18166365That looks like a fucking Daniel Wellington LMAO
>>18166130>it's real...Weird. I don't get why people would want a watch with the logo of a random tabletop game.
>>18166359Yes brother! How many hands does it have on the dial
Has anyone even ever actually bought a Richard Mille apart from some Saudis?vid rel, sell all your gaudy shit and get a golden rollie for your one-watch "collection".https://youtu.be/oVii8oH5o2g?si=ZrlbKa8yVs6TvdTQ
>>18166374what watch would 2023 edition Miss Scarlett wear?
>>18166333Shut the fuck up twat. Post your fucking watch. I'm sure it's not a $20 Casio
>>18166376Jay-Z has several Richard Milles, and he's definitely not a Saudi. Incidentally, he also owns this platinum Rolex Day-Date.
>>18166382So does Mark Wahlberg, but that doesnt mean they are both anything other than tasteless millionaires.
>>18166382he might not be a Saudi, but it's a black supremacist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_of_Islam) dog whistle
>>18166383Absolutely. But anon asked if Richard Milles were for anyone other than rich Saudis and the answer is yes. Fashionable westerners buy them and wear them in public. Milles aren't just jewelry sitting in safes, they're jewelry that actually gets worn.
>>18166379
>>18166050I was but this looks very basic. You simply do not understand what kind of color i am looking for.
>>18166095What if i also want to make a watch by myself, what do i need?
Is Cartier Tank one of the few watches that it's okay to own in the quartz version?
>>18166389They can only be seen worn by top-sport brand ambassadors who got them free anyway, wtf are you on about?
>>18166399Absolutely not.
>>18166399>quartzMight as well a breast cancer support ribbon.Seriously there is nothing more filthy, disgusting, cheep, poor, gay, nasty than quartz. Genuinely unironically makes me puke when I see normies with their quartz watches out and about. They are completely unaware what they are wearing.
>>18166399No, is there something wrong with owning a quartz TAG Heuer Formula 1 or Tissot PRX? Or a vintage Seiko quartz?
>>18166406Unfortunatelt you mentioned three ugly watches, so I'm not sure I can give your point any credit.
>>18165949I buy quartz watches from the 90's mostly. I pay pennies on the dollar if you look at there original retail. My collection is more design focused. I don't really care about the mechanics all that much.
>>18166406>is there something wrong with owning a quartz TAG Heuer Formula 1 or Tissot PRX? Or a vintage Seiko quartz?Yes, they're all quartz.
>>18166406Seiko superior is the only quartz watch that gets a pass in my book.
>>18166401Larry Ellison never seems to take off his Richard Mille, but he's not a brand ambassador. Nor is Jay-Z.
>>18166239My absolute grail is the Patek 3940. I can afford it but that would be really unreasonable. Every day or so I'm on the brink of buying it.
>>18165949I'm thinking about getting a woman's Franck Muller with diamonds because I'm a wristlet and a men's one looks too big on my wrist.
>>18166415That thing looks so strange. I'd never heard of it.
>>18166420You never heard about the cockclock?
>>18166417All Pateks except vintage look soulless.
>>18166417>My absolute grail is the Patek 3940Lmao
>>18166421Yeah, I've been missing out. That piece is THICC.
>>18166418
Are mechanical watches now /wt/ approved?
>>18166417$65,000, dang. And you've probably been watching the price go up and up over the years.
>>18166436kek
>>18166436That's a no.
>>18166436Anon, it's literally 2024.
Kofe time
>>18166451Fucking horrendous
>>18166449Absolutely based.>>18166451Beautiful tudor m8. Nice Gondolas.
>>18166454Reminds me a lot of my christopher ward >>18166456based gondola enjoyer
>>18166409Fair. "Is there something wrong with a quartz Formula 1?" Yes: the ugliness. But that has nothing to do with the movement.
>>18166449I just want you to know that I know.>>18166445So, no?>>18166451>>18166456Ebin splöts pläts
Okay so what is the final consensus on Powermatic 80?Shitposting aside. If you get the higher end model without the plastic parts in the escapement, it's probably the cheapest chronometer grade movement with a free sprung balance and a silicum hairspring. Doesn't that make it based, dare I say?
>>18166456Kek. Imagine keeping your collection in a watch box. This is so much better.
>>18166457This is the wirdest watch i have seen in a while. Why would you buy bronze chronometer certified christopher ward?
>>18166461Just don't get a Tissot. Come on man, you deserve better.
>>18166461The Powermatic 80 is the single most important invention in mechanical horology since Roskopf's montre proletaire, and the first edition Tissot Luxury Powermatic 80 Chronometers are future classic. At first many will get discarded as getting them repaired won't be economical or even possible. However, a few decades later they will be regarded as the definitive watches of the first quarter of the 21st century. NOS examples will fetch exorbitant prices rivalling that of contemporary precious metal Rolexes.
>>18166475BRB investing in PM 80 watches.
>>18166461please sir, we watch craftsmans with expertise tell you powarmatic is bad sir, why you insist?!
>>18166461Powermatic 80 is fine, nothing that special imo but also nothing that bad. The only problem is the utter ugliness of the watches on which they put the movement.
>>18166485prx is ok.
>>18165949I recently fucked a escort without a condom.
>>18165754Why does this thread hate bittercel so much? He is unironically the best poster we have ever had. Here's my reasons:bittercel is always brutally honest. He is like water, he will find a crack in your watch and pour in from there. He is the criticism we need. You never get that in watchuseek or reddit, you only get an echo chamber of “nice watch, wear it in good health, champ” bullshit. Not with bittercel, he does not care for your feelings which is why he will tell you the truth. Yes, your watch is too big for you, yes it’s a shitter, yes the lugs look like shit, yes the movement is crap. You, as a critically thinking individual, should embrace this.We are all protected by anonymity here which is the point of this site. Avatarfags are pathetic going against this. Take reversocel for example; he couldn’t handle a bit of heat from bittercel and immediately fucked off to r/watches as soon as someone wasn’t sucking his cock over his shitters and pens lmfao.Yes, bittercel may seem bitter at first, but he is the counter force to all this circle-jerking in here. He is harsh but fair. You hold the fact he never posts a watch against him, but that is merely him not taking a side. He is not a brain-dead fanboy to brands (other than Rolex, but Rolex is Rolex). This way he maintains his unbiased position.And the best part of bittercel? He is always there for, right here, in this thread.
>>18166461It's okay. It's a modded 2824 at the end of the day.The use of a lower frequency to increase the power reserve is a bit lame as it chops up the flow of the seconds hand but it's up to you to see if that bothers your autism more than a low power reserve does.Silicon escapement parts could become a problem on the long term but you don't see anyone say that about the many high end brands using silicon hairsprings, or the Valfleurier/Richemong Group movements that are also moving towards silicon escapements (some Panerai movements have it already IIRC, meaning some IWC also could since they basically use the same bases in some cases).It seems everyone got spooked by new materials making it into a wide distribution consumer movement rather than highe end pieces your average watchmaker and watch collector will never see. Hence a lot of claims of it being impossible to work on and disposable, all of which are turning out to be false over time.The Sistem 51 is the real shitter that must be contained within Swatch and never leave at any cost. That one actually can't be worked on. Bridges are set in placethere's only one screw for the rotor and that's it. And Swatch in this case isn't even trying to hide the fact that it's completely disposable.Even if you're worried about the Powermatic being disposable, you can always leave it for service at an independent watchmaker who, if he isn't a complete hack, will be able to work on it (only risk being the longevity of the escapement but if it can't survive a single service then that means the whole movement is an avalanche of very angry owners waiting to happen) whereas the Sistem 51 can't even be disassembled at all.>tl:drIt's fine and we have to hope it stays fine over time, otherwise it will go the way of Tissot's prior experiments in plastic partsAnd fuck the Sistem 51
>>18166496Thank you sir.Is there any way of knowing which pm80 has the plastic parts? Or do you have to get a chronometer one to avoid that?
>>18166496NTC but the 51 is, always will be, and was meant to be a mechanical gimmick, no need to take that into account.
>>18166436only smart watches are /wt/ approved
>>18166496You're a stupid idiot moron shill who doesn't know what he's talking about and is wrong about everything. I watched a minute-long clip of Kalle from Chronoglide saying "it's a plastic piece of crap" .
My dream watch :)
>>18166369>>18166524Kill yourself.
>>18166526Edgy but makes no sense considering Rolex was the only watch company that refused to produce watches for the Nazis.
>>18166528Keep seethin lmfao kek.
>>18166529>On page 122, Donzé explains that the British government denied export visas for Hans Wilsdorf’s watches on the basis of his sympathy for the Nazi regime. Wilsdorf was a British citizen of German origin. The suspicion stemmed from the allegation that his brother was active within the German Ministry of Propaganda. A Geneva police report subsequently stated that Hans Wilsdorf, while not active in propaganda himself, was a “fervent admirer” of Hitler’s regime. https://timefiles.ch/post/the-new-rolex-history-book-the-french-speaking-watch-world-is-talking-about/
Out with the san shartin
>>18166531>founded Rolex, the best watch company in the world>loved Hitler How can one man be so based?
Have you gone to a promo event when invited by ADs/retailers?
>>18166531>The suspicion stemmed from the allegation that his brother was active within the German Ministry of Propaganda.It's literally a nothingburger. Of course a suspicion is justified. Nonetheless Rolex never supplied the Nazi's with their watches, that's a fact, regardless of what personal opinions Wilsdorf had.
>>18166551Okay so Rolex is not based anymore.
>>18166551>>18166545Do you know who did supply Nazis?JunghansGlashutte OriginalLangeKienzleAll based.

>>18166560Why is chromed plastic worse rhan plastic?
>>18166369I wanted this watch after you posted it in another thread. I showed it to her and she said ut looked too feminine.
>>18166563Maybe that's why he grew tits.

Great watches below 2000 €/$ ?
>>18166573There are no great watches below 20 000€ and very few that could be considered good. You can forget about 2000.
>>18166415What about a Type II?
>>18166554Also LaCo, Stowa, IWC, Hanhart and Tutima for the Luftwaffe.
What would be an effay combo for a white male asian (japanese) female. I'm thinking Rolex + Cartier (the smallest one). Thoughts?Japan is based desu, imagine being single in Japan. The local insectoids are so meek and reserved all the women are easy pickings if you are just a bit outgoing.
>>18166583Fuck off retard.
>>18166583>Rolex + CartierCouldn't be any more basic and boring.
