WATCH THREADPrevious: >>18724367
>watch looks fine in the mirror with my palm towards my body and wrist towards the mirror>watch looks kind of big when I go to read the time off my wrist the 40mm normal seiko diver on a frog marine strap on a 6 3/8th inch wrist. I think when I bought it they had just come out with the 38mm versions, but they only had them in faggot colors and not blue
shitters.
>rehaut isn't aligned>crown is offset>second hand on the subdial is marred by poor worksmanshipThis is on a Le Mans ffs. Rolex should buy out chink fake watch factories and have them make their shit for better manufacturing quality
>>18729798That piece is really not my style but it looks really nice on that strap
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.
>>18729883If you think eventually people are going to appreciate this, perhaps start posting "thank you for your service", you're sorely mistaken. We do not enjoy seeing this.
>>18729883What about me? >The guy nobody recognizes because I post in this general about once every 3 or 4 months. Nothing worth of note, note even images.
Kofé time.
>>18729894now that's a good start
>Make the best-looking watch ever by combining a 39mm Royal Oak with a classic (neo-)vintage perpetual calendar design.>Make maybe 200 of them and never produce it again this way. >Problem?
>>18729910beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder

>>18729908But we don't like anything about that image. Stop encouraging him.
My company wants to buy me a watch. I think I’m just going to get a 1926. Black face and silver band. Would be my first watch. Is this the safest bet?
>>18729968What kind of company is this? Why do they want you to buy a watch? Are they reimbursing some amount of the money to buy one?
>>18729972It’s a gift from my boss. They buy it w company card as a way to give a bonus without it being taxed. I work for CFO of large construction company. What do you think of the watch choice.
>>18729973Generic and stupid. >My boss says pick out any Rolex you like.Also no one believes that.
>>18729973What is the budget you're allowed to spend?The 1926 is terrible, please pick something else.
>>18729978No limit. Boss says 'knock yourself out, it's on the company card'.
>>18729973The 1926 is the worst Tudor IMO, but if you like it you like it. If you like that style check out the Longines master collection. Or the heritage collection. I know Tudor is usually perceived as slightly above Longines but I think they do that style much better.
Best to get a G-shock or something since you work construction.
>>18729980Longines uses $200 movements and then charges multiple thousands for the watches surrounding them.Only a fool wastes money on Longines.
>>18729979If this is actually true: Cartier Santos Dumont. I think you'd like it if you like the 1926. It's also arguably the most important watch of all time.
>>18729983I like mine. What kind of watch do you have anon?
>>18729985>important watchThere's no such thing. Purely subjective.
>>18729987I only wear JLC.
>>18729989Literally the first ever commercially available male wristwatch. I think that makes it relatively important within the context of this hobby
>>18729992Buying objects isn't a hobby
>>18729992Literally?Well, I didn't realize it was like that. I guess we owe it all to some snobby, overpriced relic. Where the fuck is my deep respect? lol
>>18729973>They buy it w company card as a way to give a bonus without it being taxedThey would still be taxed, if your story were true
>>18730004I think he means without *him* being taxed. Probably bullshit though. Companies did give out watches as incentives or bonuses all the time in the past, not so much nowadays, plus they usually didn't let you just choose whatever. If it's a small company and he's friends with the CEO could be possible though ig.
>>18729979If that's really true and you really want to get the most out of it, I'd say definitely get a gold watch. Get a 36mm rolex daydate, or if you're willing to buy older used pieces maybe a gold oyster perpetual or datejust. Get a cartier tank louie. Get a JLC reverso or master control ultrathin. Get a blancpain villaret, although if you're not super into watches a super complicated watch would be too much of a pain to set, maybe just stick to time only, date, or maybe day and date watches. Get one of the gold IWC portuguisers. Find a tourneau and try a lot of stuff on.If you want to keep it relatively modest I'd say just pick a 36mm steel rolex datejust or oyster perpetual with your favorite dial color. You can't go wrong.
>>18730022>that model IWC and black strapOmg I am your biggest fan!
>>18729979buy a Vacheron Constantine or an AP, why settle for some mid tier normie watch that everyone else already has
>>18729979Ask for this just to troll him.
>>18729990Thoughts on their new master control models?
>>18730056Every jlc is great.
>>18730055kofe time
Kofe time.
>>18729975No, it’s not like this. But the company does give Rolexes for 10 year anniversaries. >>18729979This isn’t me. >>18729980I appreciate this. The longines look great. >>18730004Instead of giving me a 5k bonus that would be taxed to shit, it’s just “hey go buy something that you like with the card and expense it”. Most people buy guns, vacations, etc. I’m sorry that you work for a megacorp piece of shit company. >>18730006This is exactly the situation. The company isn’t small, but I have a history with the owners.
Anyone have a recommendation for a functional but nice-ish watch for a blue collar wagie? I was looking at a G-shock GMW-B5000D-1 or GBM-2100-1A but I was wondering if there are any other functional-type brands that might look better.
>>18730076Seething old man
>>18729968Buy this one to troll the company.
Casio time>>18730174If you want a GShock square, you may want to check the new MIP versions. GMW-BZ5000 (4 models) and GW-BX5600 (3 models). Their negative displays are readable compared to Casio's old negative ones.
>>18730174A G Shock is good for that. If you want something mechanical, Sinn, Archimede, Damasko, Marathon, Doxa, and some models from Mühle-Glashütte come to mind. These are all much more expensive though of course. All very cool and very tough watches though.
>>18730174G-Shock MRG-B5000 is tha bestttt
>>18729910>There is no official exact number of total Audemars Piguet Royal Oak references produced since 1972, but estimates from historical brand archives and catalog data put the total number at well over 500 unique references, expanding into thousands of individual variations if you count distinct dial colors, case metals, and gem-set configurations. At any given time, Audemars Piguet maintains a massive footprint for the line; for instance, the standard catalog routinely carries around 120 to 150 active Royal Oak references alone, excluding the Offshore and Concept sub-collections
>>18730076I might join u soon
test
Anyone know what reference this is supposed to be? my brother got me pic related or something like pic related, same dial has the day date. I'm sure it's a jeet forgery. I want to buy whatever's the real version of it so I can pretend it's the gift he gave me without having to wear a jeet watch. Also what's a good place to sell your old watches? I have a bunch I don't wear since I mostly wear a blue seiko 5 sports diver, but I want to trade that (and my other watches) for the new 38mm seiko 5 sports diver because they didn't have the 38mm in blue when I bought it and I have kind of small wrists
nice I can post again.Anyways, waiting on my Tudor BB 41mm to arrive tomorrow. It was supposed to be today, but delivery don't gooff'd I'll join you tomorrow, coffee bros.
>>18730353Just get a Weekdater.>t. owner of the most famous Weekdater in the world
>>18730366I don't want a week dater. I want a 38mm diver with a blue dial and an actual nip made one of that jeet watch my brother got me so I can wear it around my family or if I need something more dressy than a diver and it won't be a jeet forgery and no one will know I switched the watches out
Seiko time
>>18730022>40mm
>>18730525You post this immediately before spamming the other thread with Luis Vuitton watches like you used to do with Credor. >>>>18730528You are transparent
WE WON
>>18730355>nice I can post again.Cool. Good job evading your ban.
>>18730355Nice watch anon looking forward to the pics
pair of neat vintage soviet Raketa's I picked up recently
>>18730555really like the face on this one
>>18730555this one's too small for my liking but fuck it. i'll fuck with it
>>18730556>>18730559What the fuck is wrong with your wrist?
>>18730555some watches i currently have on my bench atm because why not. all my treasured ones and the one's i'm working on are put away at moment but will post if interested.
>>18730560man i fucking know... i recently lost a shit ton of weight from a recent medical illness but finally in the clear and getting my body physically back together.
>>18730560constant iv's/surgeries from gi complications.**
>>18730563>gi complications.**I bet you could trade notes with the guy who keeps posting pictures of shit.
>>18730566maybe i should. i'll trade notes with anyone to recenter my head and shit back together asap
>>18730349Wow, that's really NOT interesting considering no one here can afford them. What are your thoughts on Rolls-Royce automobiles?
>>18730373No one wants a stupid fucking weekdater and that guy refuses to stop pushing them.
>>18730541Maybe his ban is just over with. You know they aren't forever, right?
>>18730555*RaketasWhy do you idiots think you need an apostrophe when pluralizing words? Just add an S like a non-retard. >>18730559>i'll fuck with itYou mean you'll wear it?
>>18730561>one'sWhat the FUCK? And capitalize words at the start of your sentences. Your phone will do it automatically. Are you changing it back to make you look stupid?
>>18730533You “won” so hard you post clip art of Louis Vuitton watches you’ll never own.
>>18730584Speak for yourself poorfag. That's the problem with you poors, you assume everyone else is poor too, even though reality says otherwise, and you drown in your own toxicity.
Why did watches get so fucking xbox huge? "vintage" jeet fakes are semi tempting because they have like 35-36mm cases
>>18729883But dickwatching's a ban.
>38mm blue dial seiko 5 diver sold out pretty much everywhere unless you want to go sketchy chinamenI still don't understand why they started with those 42.5mm xbox huge sizes and why they released the original 38m line in those ugly ass colorways instead of blue. Isn't blue like a top 3 selling dial color?
>>18730236Thanks for the recommendations, I'll have to try and find these in person because I've been afflicted with the curse of girly wrists despite my /fit/ness.>>18730332I'm liking the damasko dk45's, if I don't settle with a gshock I'm definitely gonna shoot for one of these. >>18730348Maybe one day...
>>18730608The Japanese insist on making watches over 40mm. I'll never understand why the smallest people on earth make the most bloated shitters.
>>18730584>Don't discuss watches in a watch threadGo back to your poorfag shitter thread.
>>18730613the fucking display caseback on the seiko 5 makes it sit way higher than it needs to. I was considering modding mine but I think I'll wait until I can get a 38mm and then get the lower caseback and possibly the lower bezzle mod
Yo Orient made a Tag Carerra
>>18730600>>18730608>xbox hugeThat's enough of that.
>>18730634>Tick, tick, tick, ticklol
>>18730610If you find them big, there are smaller squares for the 5600, 5610, and for the Casioak 2100 series.
Bump
>>18730581Get well soon, anon.
>>18730563I have those too from when I was in a coma and people always assume they are cut marks I made myself.
>>18730613wears better?
>watch vids of people wearing watches>they are wearing their watches so fucking loose the dial is like under their wristpretty much everyone in the JFK film, obongo, I think I saw vin deasl doing it, the faggot from myth bustersI'm sure there are more I can't name off the top of my head but it seems like basically every male celeb that wears a watch wears it so fucking loose the thing is hanging, especially if it's on a metal bracelet. The ones in JFK are even weirder becaue they are on leather straps
>>18730678how so?
>>18729798Hey
>>18730689>be American>wear a watch with a picture of a [ RACIAL SLUR ]
>>18730691>President Bongo ChopardHoly based :O
>>18730599>here's my box full of fakes
>>18730690my experience
>>18730691Based!
>>18730585>stop pushing themI'm not pushing them lol, I'm making a joke, of course nobody is going to buy some obscure 60 year old Seiko as their daily, do you think i care about it that much? It's a joke, a meme. Don't take life too seriously.
>>18730617You mean a Longines Conquest
>>18730762>a memeYou fucking wish. Never gonna happen.
>>18729798Thoughts? First watch ever, really like the look and the fact it’s small and not too flashy.
>>18730773Yes it looks like this and a mashup with a seiko
>>18730791That's a totally fucking awesome old watch. That's the style right there.
>>18730617>>18730773>>18730801Looks like this too. It's not like everyone doesn't make a pie pan dial in one form or another.
>>18730610If you do go with the damasko and you're in the US, I think this is the primary importer that people buy from:https://www.watchmann.com/It's a niche brand so it can be a pain to get your hands on one from what I hear
>>18730805yeah thats's exactly why i'm buying it, I'm not really into watches and just need one because it's useful, but i dont mind wearing something nice as a little bonus and this watch just popped up on my feed and I went "ooooooo shiny" kek
Starting my first job in finance and have a vintage Pepsi I inherited from my father. Been told I should dress my rank and avoid wearing my Rolex at all costs. Issue is it's the only watch I own.What's a good non flashy option that doesn't come across as tasteless?>pic related
>>18730857>Been told I should dress my rank and avoid wearing my Rolex at all costs.Wise advise. Would be practically shouting to your boss "don't promote me or give me raises, I already have enough money". Wear a Casio or some enthusiast watch that has merit outside of being a luxury good.
>>18730700>There's no way someone has more money than me! It's just impossible!!! GOTTA BE FAKE!!!NTA but poors are boring and exhausting
>>18730782Well, you managed to become a meme yourself Mr. Bitter, so why couldn't my Weekdater also be a meme? It's not just any Weekdater you know.
>>18730882You just have to know how to deal with them. If you post a good movement shot, they shut up. No one accuses me of owning fakes anymore.
>>18730884You enjoyed torturing small animals when you were a child, didn’t you?
>>18730738your experience is wrong. 34-36mm for dress watches and like 36-38mm for divers is best
>>18730887interesting that the bittercel incel and the scat posts always show up around the same time.....
>>18730886Not at all, i like animals and they like me.
>>18730890Well, certainly best for little wrists, which seem to be more prevalent in Asia where people tend to be smaller. I wouldn't go over 42mm for a diver personally, but 36mm divers look like ladies watches. I think 39-40mm is the diver sweet spot for average wrists.
>>18730895What is it with men and cats on this site? So many are effeminate weirdos into girl and kids stuff.
>>18730891The shit posting psycho still owns a watch. Bittercel owns no watches. It’s not even a coincidence, since Bittercel is literally here 24-7.

>>18730897>cartoon websiteCats are for women and low test men. Majority of users here watch cartoons.
>>18730896the sub connery wore in the bond films was 37.5mm
>>18730901your hand is gay and retarded. it touches dicks all the time
>>18730902>Majority of users here watch cartoons.I don’t think it’s a huge majority. A lot of us came here initially because of cartoons but we eventually grew out of them.There may still be younger users who watch cartoons and, obviously, a bunch of fat weebs.
>>18730903Connery ISN'T an Asian wristlet. Are you even paying attention to the entire conversation here? Someone was asking why big watches are so popular in the land of 6" and under wrists.
>>18730857Tissot, Hamilton, Seiko, etc. all the go to entry level brands would be the way to go IMO
Unless you don't want to overpay for what might be weak specs. If brand name recognition is more important to you, by all means buy those.
>>18730899What does that say about someone that lives in a general but doesn't participate at all? It's like if I hung out in the Running General on /fit/ but never ran a day in my life and just shit on everyone else 24/7. What kind of life is that?
>>18730906I was the one complaining that they make the watches too big. Connery's sub was 37.5mm and most dress watches of the time were 34-36mm. they make shit too big now. I'm white and have 6 3/8 inch wrists. I have a blue seiko 5 and it fits fine, but I think the 38mm would look better, but when I bought it they had the 38mm but not in the blue colorway, only in gay colors and I didn't realize they put out blue last year and it's sold out most places that I don't think are gougers or sketchy. smaller watches wear better. I have some mystery meat franken watch that has a 35mm case and it doesn't look huge. I think the normal seiko 5 looks fine in the mirror with my thumb up but looks kind of big when I check the time
