Watch thread.Previous: >>18711769
When did Rolex start doing that ROLEXROLEXROLEX thing around the chapter ring?
Can't wait for this thread to get blessed by a toilet bowl full of shit
>>18713049always time for poop time
Post a watch only you know.
Worst watch thread ever.
>>18713074Let me fix that.
>>18713087Chinks are out of control
>>18713043do you own other watches?>>18713064enigmaticdo you own it?>>18713085is this a pure fashion watch or can it be considered a beater?
>>18713017interesting. I was never an anon who said anything specific about what a good caseback should look like. I quite like the caseback on my watch but I can't say what my watch is. It's not a popular watch (and I want to keep it that way). The caseback in that image does look smooth. Looks nice.
>>18713090>pure fashion watch>a beaterUmm, can you explain what a 'fashion watch' and 'beater' mean to you? Just so we're on the same page. Did you mean to say 'dress' and 'everyday' maybe?
>>18713096'dress' just sounds strange, maybe it's because I am a native English speaker, and to me a 'dress' watch sounds like a watch for a woman to wear when she's wearing a dress. I used the term fashion as in my mind it's the antithesis to the term tool. A tool watch has a purpose outside of aesthetics. A fashion watch is purely for aesthetics (outside of the banal time-keeping purpose). I hope this is a satisfactory explanation. 'Everyday' is a fine phrase I guess. I like beater better though as it kind of has the energy of the indifference about the watch, it's just something you wear without concerning yourself too much about maintaining a perfect aesthetic for it. You know it is going to get wear and tear. And it is strong enough to deal with that for a long time.
>>18713099>to me a 'dress' watch sounds like a watch for a woman to wear when she's wearing a dress.You seem to be new to watches. Go look up what a dress watch is, what a beater watch is and what a fashion watch is. You go the tool watch somewhat right.
>>18713104Gemini pumped this out: "A dress watch is an elegant, minimalist timepiece designed for formal wear, while a beater watch is a durable, affordable daily wear watch meant to withstand rough conditions. A fashion watch is a trend-driven accessory produced by a clothing brand rather than a specialized watchmaker."
>>18713090It could be considered a pure shitter.Because it is.
>>18713130I'm the anon you responded to and I am wondering what are you're top 3 watches?
>>18713146the red star really sets it off[spoiler]looks like the kinda watch that young people wear when they slaughter their grandparents[/spoiler]
>>18713146nah but seriously looks charming in that almost fantasy kitsch chinese way. like if you turn the crown 12 times after it is at stop three a tiny tinny sounding speaker inside the watch will start playing the chinese national anthem (march of the volunteers) shit sorry i can't help myself here
>>18713146i have to take another hit at thisi reckon this watch looks like the kinda watch you could buy to show some base-line level of enthusiasm about chinese people (stop asian huge, hug a chinese person today) and then you fly into SF airport and the first thing you see is a tall chinese supersoldier woman and she looks at you, then look at your watch, and then in perfect english (albeit with a swiss accent on top) she belittles you and calls you pathetic
>>18713146I would get this watch if I wanted to commielarp with fucking pea soup pants and a surplus jacket you would see on a Soviet conscript and some worn out combat boots
>>18713161stop asian hate*>>18713162yeah totally like again you could buy this watch and then fly into portland, oregon, and wander down the street with a huge shit eating grin on your face and then chat up the nearest coloured hair girl with the nose jewellery thing they all have and tell her how much you're ready for the communist revolution you're just not strong enough yet for it because you're in a pussy drought but as soon as you get some pussy you're definitely gonna start the revolution then ask her for the time then say oh wait i actually have my own watch and then loo kat your watch, then loko at her, then look at your watch, then look at her again
>>18713106Why would you post this here? Are you proud you can't use your own brain?>look, i can't think for myself and i need someone else to do the thinking for me, here's what came out, look at it
>>18713146In order to make this watch work you have to be a fucking PINKO FAGGOT with BUNDESWEHR PARKA that has patches on it saying STOMP FASCISTS and a BLM fist in FAGGOT colors walking hunched over to the local MATCHA SHOP to hit on FOIDS with SEPTUM RINGS who don't shave their armpits trying to talk them into meeting you after work so you can nut in their unwashed pussy while watching NETFLIX and get CHLAMYDIA
>>18713166No I did use my own brain and I was told I wasn't fitting in with the watch lingo lol. I just pasted the gemini shit because to me it shows how facile it is to group think so hard until your nuts shrink up and fall off which is what happens to a lot of watch guys, I believe. No offense to you, I know you're a good sort.
>>18713167decent post and thank you for contributing, my only recommendation is to include something there like some kind of reference to some ethnic food you get doordashed. please.
Seriously though that Chinese watch makes me think of Jenny's Marxist boyfriend in Forrest Gump who gets punched in the face.I'd rather spend slightly more money and get a different Chinese watch.
btw i googled pea soup pants and it only came up with pea soup recipesvery disappointed i was gonna buy the pants and then buy a BUNDESWEHR PARKA might have even looked up where to buy that commie watch too i feel the energy in the airto me it feels like chairman mao has got an upgrade and now he's couchman maolike he's totally relaxed now just chilling on the couch

>>18713185not that anon but your post was fun to meme about. it was a good well written post. it is quite possible i may purchase the merkur watch 1983 classic mechanical watch for men 38mm military vintage wristawtch chinese style canvas silver men watch
>>18713193why are they going to do that? I at least now have the alie express watch page in tab in chrome open for this merkur watch 1983 classic mechanical watch for men 38mm military vintage wristawtch chinese style canvas silver men watch
>>18713190quartz > shitcanical
>>18713197>the numbers are backwards on the bezelfucking lol you're rightbut are you trolling? I think this watch is bit of a meme now, I'm tempted to buy the canvas one for the luls. the stainless steel is bracelet versino is another 40 bucks in my currency, and i need that 40 bucks to spend on my 15 extremely hot girlfriends
what is the deal with chinese watchse anyway? I have no idea about what they are, i have been away from the internet for like 10 years
>>18713200have you considered just not being poor?
>>18713205yeah the chairman mao watch might not be decent quality ahaha, probably a very cheap thing just spat out on some factory line for the kitsch purchase. thank you for the info about the bracelets. i'm thinking of buying the canvas version, as you can see the canvas version has a simpler watch face. i'm just thinking about it, it's a bit of a meme to me now. i have never owned a mechanical watch before. and i'm unlikely to ever spend thousands of dollars on a mechanical watch, i prefer my watches to be very efficient in the sense i don't have to spend much time doing anything to them.
Honestly if your watch isn't>Rolex>Cartier>Patek>Vacheron>AP>Richard Mille>Journe>Lange>JLC>and MAYBE some very specific models from a few other brandsThen I'm not interested in what you have to say about horology. Or anything else really.
>>18713211>starter watcheswhy would anyone need more than sbth009 which objectively MOGS all your china shitters btw. cope seethe n dilate away.
>>18713214this pasta is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo stale bro i have a WAY better one
>>18713216>sbth009that is a quartz watch and the other anon is talking about mechanicals ahahahaha qaurtz bro what are you a GIRL ahahaha do you like CRYSTALS BRO ahaHAHAha bro you probably partake in astrology whilst you wear your QUARTZ WATCh ahahaha everyone LOOK AT THIS QUARTZ WEARING GUY AND LAUGH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>>18713208You don’t have to spend $75 to get a mechanical. They have these for $30. If you like funky Chinese looking stuff. You have to wind it every night but that’s part of the charm for me.
>>18713221thank you, the more money i save the money money i can spend on my 15 ultra hot girlfriendsi just googled shanhai mechanical watch and found an alie express page for a 57 dollar watch (my currency) Genuine Shanghai Mechanical Watch Manual Winding 17 Diamond Retro Fashion Waterproof Mens Watch Religio Masculino Watche for Menso these are a decent buy?
got this for myself (not my gf)
>>18713225which watch core are you gonna drop in it?and how are you going to feel when you wear this?
I'm impressed, each time I thought this general had hit rock bottom, it manages to get worse.
>>18713224
>>18713226pretty fly for a white guy
>>18713228hahahahaha yes indeedmy 15 ultra hot girlfriends will love me when they see me with my brand new Merkur Watch 1963 Classic Mechanical Watch For Men 38mm Military Vintage Wristwatch Chinese Style Canvas Silver Men Watch on my wrist >>18713227what do you mean worse?
Shut down all the Rolex stores. Take all the rolex retards out back and them afternoon tea with a 9mm. I'm the new sheriff in town walking down the street with my Silver Men Watch.
>>18713229that is what it is all about, that is worthwhile. makes me happy to know this.
>>18713233Not bad. I'm a filfthy casual honestly. I just like to funpost. i'm a quartz guy myself, i have never owned a mechanical. quartz is pretty cool because we're zapping a shiny rock to tell the time, or something like that. kinda alien-esque.
>>18713161>stop asian huge
>>18713237you could be a sleeper CCP agent trying to influence me to come have a very Chinese Moment. That's how it begins. Something simple. Just slips under the radar. One watch, 57 dollars. Six months later and I'm speaking Chinese. I'm onto you guys. I know the game you play.
>>18713240God that must be difficult for them. I bet all they can do in such a situation is pick up their smartphone and dial the number for their AP. They probably don't get through. They probably get the voicemail. And they just keep calling and keep getting the voicemail whilst tears stream down their cheeks and they vigorously jerk off to the sound of their AP's disinterested nasally smug tone.
>>18713244Great point. I do like those pretty little things
>>18713228NTA, but I love this bit in the movie. You can tell from her expression right after that how cringy it is and how she's almost about to burst out laughing. Somehow watchfags missed this.
I really think the AP Royal Oak is ugly as fuck but whenever I bring it up people jump down my throat saying I'm just poor.
>>18713250Actually wht happened was in anticipation of Bond saying "Rolex" her pussy was wet as hell. However, when he said "Omega" it was a shock to her and it actually made her have an orgasm.I know this because I am both an owner Rolex watches and Omega watches and I am an Expert Of Women also known as a Woman Expert.
>>18713251May I interest you in the Merkur Watch 1963 Classic Mechanical Watch For Men 38mm Military Vintage Wristwatch Chinese Style Canvas Silver Men Watch?
So many options
>>18713251You are poor but that has nothing to do with disliking the Royal Oak.
>>18713257Hope you understand that God literally told Jesus to take off the AP or he wouldn't do the ascension thing. First thing the Romans found in the tomb was that fucken watch.
>>18713255ohh wait this is even cheaper, which is good as it means i'd have more money to spend on my 15 ultra hot girlfriends. What is the watch name? I'm eager to know what the watch name is for this piece on aliexpress
>>18713265That looks quite upper class.
>>18713276it could be like a wild juxtaposition. like you were lone-rangin' on a night of tomfoolery and somehow you found this strange watch abandoned, totally in solitude, nobody else around.
got it, I paid way too much
>>18713285was this a splurge buy or was it after careful consideration? just curiousand how do you feel abotu it? gonna wear it or is this to remain pristine in a collection?>>18713281exactly, that is the roll of the dice
Holy shit. $268 after discount. Just when I think I found the lowest price I find one lower.I don’t suppose anyone here has a tourbillon of any kind. I can be the first.
>>18713285It was emotional buy. I wear smart watch mostly. Gonna wear when I go to a hiking trip.
>>18713286>>18713289
>>18713036Mid to late 2000s
>>18713287do it pussy
>>18713289NiceIt will be fun on a hiking tripDo you drink coca cola lol>>18713287Tourbs are cool
>>18713296>TourbsI thought I was the only one that said that (to myself, in my head)
>>18713287>100% TourbillonNow i want a 77% tourbillon.
>>18713296I don't consume soft drinks, but I like coca-cola.
>>18713085I love seikos too but the date window sometimes misaligns it drives me crazy and i have to cycle through to get it right
It's Tuesday!
>>18713090>do you own other watches?of course
>>18713285why
>>18713342It's Chewsday, guvna.>>18713351Tasteful, but the 2209 beats it.
>>18713363do you do weddings? kids birthday parties?
>>18713368>stupid names some of them
>>18713373>instead of balloon animals.....why not both?
>>18713368>stupid namesDisagree
>>18713286transparent greenish look, I like it
>>18713285I have a feeling that transparent green strap is going to age terribly
>>18713392It's funny how Rolex used to bitch that this crystal was too hard to make and 9 out of 10 failed quality tests, but some chinese brand manages to do it for a watch they probably sell on aliexpress for $40.
I miss whoreanon bros..
>>18713435shut the FUCK up zach get you bum ass deported already
>>18713435qrd? I keep seeing him mentioned, saw that blurry cropped cell phone pic from 1976, but still don't know the details
>>18713435
>>18713185>What the fuck? That escalated fast.welcome to the asylum
Hold on, how much did you say this watch is supposed to be worth???
>>18713491Well, bearing in mind that “worth” and “what people will pay” are two different things, the price on the secondary market for a good example will be around 12-15k USD.
>>18713351>>18713355Nice little watches.
>>18713442You would have had to be there almost 3 years ago. /wt/ peaked there, never to return to the glory it had on that moment.
>>18713355>the 2209 beats it.Idk, completely printed dials with zero adornments start to feel a little too cheap. I get that's the whole idea in the first place, but it's getting balls deep into "we slapped some hands on a movement mounted under printer paper" territory
>>18713537I mean yeah, it is commie crap, but I'd say for commie crap it's pretty well executed. It's all about the moment which is imho is the best 3 hander made in the eastern block during the cold war.
>>18713542few things turn me on more than wearing a master craftsman swiss timepiece that cost $900 to make that I paid $6,000 for. one of those things is wearing one made for $12 assembled by a severely malnourished Russian man wearing the same shirt for 30 years that's been washed twice while he chainsmokes 3 packs a day and beats the shit out of his wife every night when he gets home and then goes out on the town throwing glass vodka bottles into frozen riverbeds
Poor mans Murph
I want a new watch
>>18713579That's nothing like the Murph at all you cocksmoker
>>18713586Me too anon. I'm eyeing a rarer, black dial version of my favorite watch as well as the top of the line one. If everything goes well i should get one of them around new year.
>>18713587Your opinion is meaningless to me
>>18713064based watch
>nasty subhuman retards bannedyou love to see it
What's that? It's time for another mind bogglingly retarded episode of "guess the value of a watch based on the case back???"
>>18713626>mind bogglingly retardedBingo.
>>18713626That actually is a shitty caseback though. You would think they could put SOMETHING on it, at least.
>>18713626The bracelet looks almost like zaratsu polished, so I'd guess it's somewhere close to Grand Seiko, albeit not quite there. I'd say a solid 1k or so for this one.
>>18713632It's not even polished, but whatever you say. Is that your final answer?>>18713629This brand has watches they put a lot of shit on the case back, actually, but they decided not to on this one I guess. In a certain way there's actually more attention to detail put into it than Rolex does, they wouldn't do all of that circular brushing around the case back.
>>18713167>FOIDS with SEPTUM RINGS who don't shave their armpitsI'd love one of those, fat and extremely hairy (legs, pits, arms, nipples, happy trail, everything)... how to get?
>>18713639Become a communist and join a polycule.
>>18713640No polycules though, I want to marry her and be monogamous (except she can make solo porn if it pays very well and we can fuck girls and passing trannies together).
>>18713634>It's not even polished, but whatever you say. Is that your final answer?I'm talking about the sides of the links, but yes, I would say with confidence GS is ultimate better than this piece pictured.

Why was this watch thread created days after the other one, that still has a long way to go before the bump limit
Jooce time.
I'm thinking of buying a Tissot PRX
>>18713690Don't.
>>18713678>Why was this watch thread created days after the other one, that still has a long way to go before the bump limitIt was probably at the bump limit, but a bunch of shitposts were deleted.
>>18713690Good watch
This sweet hand wind 38mm is on sale for $75 with a coupon. It's Chinese and all, but where will you find a better starter mechanical for that price? You really won't. And it's not an homage, it's original.It only has K1 mineral glass, but that's a fair compromise. You're not getting sapphire on a Seiko or Orient starter for under $500.It also comes with a pilot bezel and in different colors.I think I'm going to get one for my nephew. LOL, the janitor keeps removing my posts. WTF? We can play this game all day.
>>18713180I knew a quartz would be the response to that. I kind of specified earlier in the post that I was talking about starter mechanicals. Perhaps you didn't realize that carried over to the sentence you're referencing. I'll be more clear next time. >>18713192They're going to delete it and all my other posts later. Or like 60% of them. >>18713194Because they can. Based on a technicality of some kind I don't understand.Kid all you want about silver men watch. I don't write their copy. I'm actually going to buy one. I'll post it in a few weeks when it arrives. I don't give a rat's ass if anyone else does. Just sharing my enthusiasm, not pushing sales. And I'm getting the cheapest one. Not because it's the cheapest but because I like it the best and the numbers are backwards on the bezel. I don't understand all the weird variations on bezels anyway. Nor do I like diver/pilot/whatever rotating bezels much anyway. >>18713198 Your personal preference notwithstanding, the topic didn't include quartz to begin with. It's bullshit that people push Seiko 5 and Bambino when they're utterly mogged by China in that price range. Just the facts. >>18713199The bracelets are sold out on the store I was looking at. I don't like those kinds of bracelets anyway. You can buy good jubilee bracelets for about $30 on that site. I got one for my Seiko 5 because its folded steel bracelet SUCKS.I'm sure the bezel is like that on purpose. It's Merkur. But it's a bit cheaper than their usual watches. The ones I have are really nice.Bezel must be for countdowns or something. They have different kinds. It's more suited to canvas though because of the style and history.There actually is a watch with Chairman Mao I think doing a salute. I saw it on ebay a while back. s. And that's the whole point.
>>18713203I'm not poor. We're discussing starter watches. Why pay way more for an inferior watch when you're starting out? Get better quality if not an inspired design for $80 or spend what you would on those nip watches on IXDAO or San Martin and have the specs and finish of a $1,000 brand watch.It's not like I don't continue to buy the overpriced watches as well now and then. I buy a dozen Chinese watches for every Japanese watch.Because they're usually superior for the money. In my lowly collecting bracket that is. And that's the whole point. >>18713218What kind of a filthy casual do you think I am? I'd say at least 20% of my collection is quartz. >>18713224No, I have more than one of them and recommend them in the watch thread because they're not a decent buy. >>18713235I like quartz. I also like a hundred little gears that I power that spin around on like 21 or 35 jewels.JEWELS, anon!
>>18713242 I wish my life was so deceptive and exciting. I'd love for my collection of Asian watches to have inspired in me a desire to learn another language. I'm so fastidious about the use of this one I'd probably never be able to devote any of my brain to navigating another. I envy polyglots. >>18713254There is a happy medium you know.$850 is not feeling incredibly financially reckless when it comes to this watch. A few more months and I'll convince myself it's worth it if I just don't buy the next 4-6 "shitters" with that money. >>18713268You think? Will it clash with my poor hobo rags, my frowsy hair, and general disheveled appearance? Maybe I don't want it after all. I'm a lowly dirtbag. I don't like puttin' on airs. >>18713315You can fix that? I had a watch where the day was off by 2mm or so in the window. I sent that shit back. >>18713202They decided that since their factories already produce all the parts for all the other watch companies of the world that they'd just copy the designs and use the best possible materials and sell the hit-or-miss watches for just over cost with the caveat of long shipping times and enough bad actors that there's a stink on the entire Chinese watch industry. But despite that the consensus is that they give you a lot of bang for your buck and they're really embarrassing the legacy brands who continue to offer shit specs for higher prices as they abandon the budget community and aim for a wealthier clientele. They have some stupid names some of them, but with certain brands the quality is undeniable.
>>18713725Anyone can see they are not shitposts. I can post all day long from my phone but my PC posts get removed. Not sure why. But I'm not typing all of it and importing images to a phone. Too much trouble. Hardly any trouble to just copy and paste and repost whatever the faggot incel janitor keeps taking it upon himself to remove without just cause..
>>18713690There was a time to buy the PRX and it was years ago. Now the PRX is insanely overpriced for what it is and also really played out. We are in an integrated steel sports watch bubble.
>>18713755True, but I shall be buying the jlc master control.
>>18713761Sure you will.

Keep it simple
>>18713781I'm not the guy posting his stools. That guy says he's just burning through different wifi sources in his neighborhood.It's quite easy though. There's a site I cannot type here where everything looks like 4chan but it's not. And there's no captcha most of the time. And you can buy a 'gold pass' for $10 which bypasses any captchas you may get. Most people use it to post really bad shit so the site is always in a tug of war with 4chan. But I'm using it responsibly. Always someone trying to ruin it for the rest of us.

So this is the famous "/wt/" huh... the one you hear about all over The Chan from /a/ to /x/. The one general that has saved /fa/ as a whole and made this gay shithole board worth a visit or two.I was promised: >Japanese Bitches with fat titties >I was promised rich lawyers with collection far exceeding millions of dollars>Good coffee talk>High quality professional images that would make anyone at /p/ reconsider if he's good at what he does>A huge collection of pristine Weekdaters>A highly knowledgeable Omega connoisseur>Lots of Gold and Silver>Drunk posts on Friday nights>Qualified watchmakers going into autistic depth>Rolexes, Grand Seikos, Mosers, Omegas, Breguets, Credors, F.P.'s-->Wristshots on top of Japanese booty, sakura trees in the background, inside expensive cars, wristhots in Dubai, in Tokyo--Hell, I was even promised Guns and people wearing their watches on their dicks. I was also promised Cat posting and even someone posting his stool next to high quality swiss made watches.What I got instead is:>Chinese watches>300 posts, 12 images>30% of the posts deleted>People calling each other poorWords can not describe how disappointed I am. I guess rumors did get the better of me, I came with zero expectations and yet I am leaving with disgust and being mad at myself for falling for those said rumors. I am not even going to waste time calling you "people" names, because you're not even worth that much.
>>18713805sorry i just have to JORK it inbweteen calling my AD's voicemail to listen to her scathing tone as she bullies me again via her voicemail but next time she tells me i can buy a rolex I am definitely going to spend another 20k on it because I'm a good rolex retard that does what he is told!!!!!!!!!!!!
