>>18095349I come back o check on you guys every once in a while. Nice to see Hamilton anon still posting the same watch and not doing anything with his life and mental illness retard charts that eschew worthless opinions
i want to buy something vintage and i guess iconic for under $5,000 i'm guessing the best option is a grand seiko 3180?
>>18095386You can get vintage Piagets all day for under 5k. Why would you settle for a Seiko?
>>18095388That or you could get a Rolex. Something like an Oyster Perpetual Date. Plenty of them available for under 5000USD.
when will the /wt/ end? who will win?
>>18095398Not matter who wins, we all lose
>>18095398>when will the /wt/ end? who will win?You're asking the wrong question./wt/ exists because we already lost.
>>18095386The fact that you randomly named a Granf Seiko when there are tens of thousands of iconic watches you can get for that moneu means that you already made a choice in your heart. Go for it anon.
>>18095398Whoever buys his exit watch first.
>>18095406A little fruity
>>18095406An extra shitty choice, that's for sure.
>>18095390is it possible to get a 36mm oyster perpetual in that price range? i know the bigger ones are more popular, but i'd rather get a 36mm since i am a wristlet>>18095406i already own 3 other pre-quartz crisis mechanical seikos, i figure the grandfather of them all would be a nice thing to add but i am also concerned about something that old that's not water resistant or anything either at $5000. i've never bought a watch for more than $500 so far.
>>18095416Seriously though, where does one go from here? This pics feel is that of someone who's at his peak and has achieved anything he wants from life. Would a more expensive watch be...."better" at this point? This feels genuine and with a lot of soul. It's like... he didn't find the watch, the watch and him found each other to create this moment of bliss and appreciation of life itself.
>>18095418?
>>18095416what watch is that?
>>18095386Love the case shapes of those old Grand Seikos.
>>18095417So it will be your first deep 4 digits watch?Just don't expect it to be of higher quality in general. Be prepared to pay ""only"" for historical and sentimental value. Does that make sense? A modern 6K GS will feel (and actually is) a much better finished, polished, prettier, shinier watch with a movement that's, well, 60 years ahead. If you're one of the people who value Heart and Sentimental value, then go for it but please don't expect a ten fold jump in quality because you will be disappointed.
>>18095420looks like an h moser in blue.
can anyone id this watch from curb?
>>18095422i get that, but i presume it'll be a step up in fit & finish compared to my similarly aged lord marvel, right?i want to step up into a 4 digit watch, i feel like i've got enough sub $100 ones and a few ~$500 ones. i only really find the vintage stuff interesting though. well that and if i want to get a rolex i am just too uneducated to see any tangible difference on a datejust from 1964 or 2024 other than the 2024 one being "new" and i guess cleaner
>>18095432It seems to me it's the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Enamel.
Anyone else get a luxury watch and immediate realize how stupid all this is and never buy another watch again? I remember thinking "this is $5k?" and just not understanding where the money goes and feeling kinda like I wasted my money
>>18095418you cheat on your wife, lose half your net worth, become estranged from your family and then develop an alcohol addiction.
>>18095465based
>>18095465wtf literally me
>>18095464A 5k watch is not real luxury. Just saying.
>>18095464Kinda felt the same with my Tudor but my -- fixed that.
>>18095480who cares? it only gets more retarded as you go up
>mogs all traditional watch brandsnothing personal kid
>>18095464dunno, when I bought my planet ocean I felt like it was a step above all my seikos. I still love it but I just think it's too thick now.
>>18095486Only if you're poor
>>18095486If you felt that way you would just stick with a couple hamiltons. Nothing above that is worth any more for the movements. After that point it's just buying a logo.

>>18095349time to buy a gold hublot
Someone is selling this Hublot Nespresso in my zone, and I'm tented.
>>18095603The fuck is wrong with you?
>>18095610I blame these threads.
>>18095512Yes. Typically, the AD will remove the piece from the sealed bag before delivering it to the buyer unless the buyer has specified otherwise to keep it sealed, which maintains a higher value.
>>18095603Do it. It's a fun watch. Better than any Grand S*ykope

>>18095511That's actually a very correct answer. One of the big reasons why I like watches is because it's a niche, comparatively. And that it has a high entry-cost.
>>18095459Doesn't look like it to me, the big half-circle at 6 o'clock isn't the same.

>>18095673The normie threshold stops at 500$Everything above that is considered expensive and a lot of money to enter/get into a new hobby. And considering that 80% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 500$ for a completely unnecessary accessory, is a luxury.Or if you live in a blue hellhole state/city, you can just paint yourself black and steal a watch and nothing will happen.
>>18095386Vintage Omega Constellations (with the pie pan dials) are pretty iconic imo and much more distinctive than that GS. Both good though.
>>18095695Well, we got a winner. It's over.

>>18095480Yeah and you reach an asymptote above like 6k where you get basically nothing more for your money so 5k is 80 percent of the way there

>>18095793Not that I know off. Feel free to make one yourself.
where do you guys sell your used watches? do you ever take them to a pawn shop, seems like the easiest and fastest way
>>18095797Sadly the only viable option is chrono24.Pawn shops offer you less than half of what you bought it for.
>>18095797>pawn shops why would anyone sell there unless they're desperate? they'll give you maybe 40% of its value
>>18095797If you need to sell your watches, you need to reevaluate your poor decision making process that led you to get that watch in the first place. That said, the best price you’ll get is selling directly through forums like WUS, but that comes with risk of getting scammed. C24 and eBay are safer but have onerous fees that reduce the amount of money you’ll get.
>>18095801>>18095816That's what I suspected too...>>18095821I don't need to sell anything. I'm just thinking about selling one particular watch because I'm not sure I'll use it that much anymore (I recently got a new one that I like more) and it's sort of redundant now. maybe I'll just keep it as a backup. I've got four watches in total for different occasions.
>>18095835What I ended up doing is gifting them left and right. Brothers, friends. And sell a one to a friend who always wanted it.
>>18095835That’s the problem when you binge on watches. You fall out of love with them very quickly. What people rarely learn is that they get addicted to the feeling of buying a new watch, not the enjoyment of owning it.
>>18095848>they get addicted to the feeling of buying a new watch, not the enjoyment of owning it.Exactly. And the new watch afterglow lasts less and less, even as the watches get more and more expensive. Don’t forget also about the feeling of regret when they look at their watch box full of watches they don’t want anymore.
>>18095848>they get addicted to the feeling of buying a new watch, not the enjoyment of owning it.This is why watch "flippers" give me the ick, they're like little children trying to assuage their itch for new shinies.
>>18095857In the case of watch collectors, they’re also doing it for attention on social media. If they keep posting the same watch over and over, people will call them annoying so they get a new watch so their quasi-friends will call them based. That’s how you end up with guys who live like bums but have a 10k+ watch on their wrist.
I can't tell if an easy to rotate bezel is cheaper or superior. I like it better tho.
>>18095883Ease of operation is a design choice, a Blancpain FF, for example is much stiffer than a Submariner, but they’re both high-quality. The thing to look out for is the amount of backplay in the mechanism. Good bezels have none.
Tudorbros... Not like this...
>>18095889>entry level watch has so-so qc the only shock here is that some people out there still get shocked by this
>>18095884Backplay is kinda nice in case you almost missed the mark.
>>18095889it's funny to see defects like this. you'd think they'd have computer vision quality control that would detect these.
>>18095892>entry level watchEntry level luxury maybe, but if you're paying several thousand for a watch this kind of qc is not acceptable.
>>18095892It has the same QC as a 300 dollar watch.This is an embarrassment

>>18095719what watch would chika approve of? A gold cartier tank or does it have to be the speedy?
>>18096030That’s edema. It can have a variety of causes, usually blood pressure related, but not always.
tudor seems like the weirdest possible brand to create as a business decisionwhat gain does rolex possibly have by making cheaper imitation of their own watches? that just goes against everything i know about luxury brands' entire business model (which i guess to be fair isnt much)
>>18095349For me, it is this solar, atomic, all metal G-shock No seriously I wear the fuck out of this thing. Starting to pick up a nice bit of wear on the face. Favorite watch I own.
>At the pub minding my business>Some dude comes and asks for the time(Wtf just use your phone bro)>Pull out my pocket watch and tell him the time anyways>Guy fucks off laughing and doesn't even thank meThe fuck is wrong with some people..
>>18096077Well there's a good reason why they're shifting Tudor further and further away from Rolex. Doubt we'll ever see the Tudor Sub again.
>>18096077hans just wanted poorfags and copers to enjoy watches, too. based>"For some years now I have been considering the idea of making a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that could attain the standards of dependability for which Rolex is famous, I decided to form a separate company, with the object of making and marketing this new watch. It is called the Tudor Watch Company."
>>18096032for me, its this boring grey one
>>18096077Just buy like a tissot or whatever.
>>18096077Rolex moved upmarket, so they can't make tool watches and their older style of watches anymore. Tudor fills Rolex's original niche while having the legacy to use similar designs to old Rolex, preventing any other brands from gaining market share in that niche, which defends Rolex's position.
>>18095889San Martin BTFOs Tudor.

How do your family/friends view your appreciation/desire of expensive watches? For me the people in my life are generally crazy wealthy and also pretty frugal so the idea of spending that much on jewelry is pretty crazy to themBut I also figure if I have the income and the stability to afford it and I like it I figure why not
>>18095933>>18095918>>18095917nice bun
>>18095704Omega Speedmaster Professional "Moonwatch". Because I'm at a bar on the Moon and need a certified master chronometer with chronograph function to time each beer consumed.
I know I'm spamming it. Just really enjoying this watch. Have a blessed day /wt/
I want to buy and wear pic related.How stupid am I being?
>>18096224>I'd never spend that much on a watch, but I gotta say, it's a pretty nice watch.That's usually the reaction I get.My family knows I'm a responsible adult making sound financial decisions. They trust that if I'm not buying an expensive watch, it's because I have the disposable income.My friends and I are all in the same economic bracket, give or take. Some of them are into watches, some aren't, but wearing a nice watch is not considered flexing anymore than driving a luxury car or anything like that. No one asks what anything costs anyway. That's tacky.
>>18096277Nice watch, what brand is it? Oh, it's blue? Where's the logo? I only see blue
Seiko PresageNuff said.
>>18096224I hate that i love whores like this. My one god damn weakness. Fucking demons.
>>18096283I admire how fearless you're to ridicule.
>>18096283do it. don't listen to us.
>>18096062this might have convinved me to get the speedmaster pro
>>18095704 I like it because it's purple and got a pretty decent band, kinda wish it had a date window but would probably make it look worse.
>>18096287what financial bracket is that? I have a decent amount of wealth for my age and i have more cash sitting in checking / savings accounts than i should but its hard to bring myself to pay $5-10k+ on just a watch. So far only gone for under $1000 stuff
>>18096339Nice trolling. Very understated.

>>18096381No it's based this watch that watch https://youtu.be/3zJeahyLBaQ>>18096382Is it a Moser? I still can't see the logo, I thought the blue Moser had one?
>>18095349I've consulted the poorfag guide.The guide says that DW5600 should cost somewhere around 40$. The cheapest i can find is around 80$. I could save for it.Or i could just buy W217h for general use and MQ24-7B as a dress watch. Those two will cost me maybe 25$ in total. What do you guys think? Is this a sound decision?
>>18096408What do you actually need a watch for? If the gshock is out of your price range, just get a F91-W and be done with it.
>>18096413Just thought something that's bit more sturdy would be nice. I do climb sometimes.But i guess you're right
Lads, I think I'm gonna pull the trigger.
>>18096283Yeah do it bro. Every dude needs that one outrageously colored quartz shitter that says "I am buck wild" in his collection
>>18095704Omega Seamaster 300m I like it because its an unusual size from Omega and the whole industry seems to be heading back to smaller dials.
>>18096427f91w is plenty sturdy, I promise. it'll exceed pretty much everything it's rated for
>>18096435I like them except for the skeleton hands
>>18096344>what financial bracket is that?Say 50-100k liquid and another 3-5mil in non-real estate investments.
>>18096449Damn, guess i should hold off on the moonwatch. I'm only a bit above a million including house with 15-30k liquid.
>>18095349just got this without the diamonds for 450. 18k gold bezel and a cartier movement with box and papers. I can't think of a better deal
>>18096464why dont you post the picture of the one you have? Seems like itll look better without the diamonds but dont love the screw look
>>18096224everyone at work mogs me. My boss alone has 17 rolexes
>>18096471my boss's boss has a fluted DJ and a GMT master 2 at least. wonder if there are any others..
>>18096471where the hell do you work, a hedge fund?
>>18096471I don't know how you even justify buying that many rolexes beyond just keeping them in plastic wrap as investments. I get wanting an explorer and/or datejust, I get wanting a submariner and gmt, I get it if you're a rich fuck and want a daydate and/or daytona, but why would you ever need anything else? Why buy multiple different dial and bezel colors of the same shit? It just seems silly to buy every gmt color, 5 different datejust colors, the steel and 2 tone and all gold submariners, etc.... Why?

>>18096341Get one. They're awesome watches if you like the clarity of design and purpose with rugged execution. Don't buy for the hype or the reputation though...then you'll end up selling it like all the other Speedy's on the secondary market. Protip: try them on in store...the new 3861s fit almost identically to the older 1861s and 321s. If you like it, then try it on again another time when you're in a different mood. If you still like it, you win.

>>18095406Based take. Nice to see not everyones a brand cultist. Buy what you like not what some "AD" tells you to like. Its a watch not a power drill.
>>18095619People need to go outside or at least sit on the deck or communal area once and a while. Some guy made 15 Reponses to 1 of my posts because I dared say I prefer watches I wear to storing them and never wearing them. Talk about unstable.
when did soiko hike their prices? in 2017 I could still get a soiko for 100, now it's 200.
>>18096736>>18096744No worries. Got you.https://files.catbox.moe/t7iea6.mp4On a serious note, what makes a good watch to you, aka what's THE most important abd deciding factor when/before you buy a watch? For me, the dial is 60% of it and another 10% is the accuracy. Rest are case design, brand recognition (to those who know) and bracelet. Even though I find myself in awe whenever I hold an actually good bracelet. GS reeeally needs to step this up.Wristlet side note: My exit game-watch was too big for me and that made me sadder than I thought it would. Anyone else knows this feel?
>>18096753brand prestige, it's so that poorfags like you would stick to Armani and stop shitting up the brands image
>>18096753Problem is that they upped the prices by a lot but the quality didn't go up with the price. I'll never forgive them for that. But it's not all negatives, like this Lad said>>18096756Does pic related really have to be $750?

>>18096785lmao
>>18096759I guess they're now more aligned with Swatch offerings and so on.
>>18096759The steel bracelet on my Seiko diver is pretty bad. Swapped to a cloth strap and I’m so much happier. Feels and looks better.
>>18096759Seriously though, where does one go from here? This pics feel is that of someone who's at his peak and has achieved anything he wants from life. Would a more expensive watch be...."better" at this point? This feels genuine and with a lot of soul. It's like... he didn't find the watch, the watch and him found each other to create this moment of bliss and appreciation of life itself.
>>18096807What was it? Many watches in the 5k+ range unfortunately still have bracelets that are not too dissimilar to, say, a modern Seiko 5 bracelet. However the manufacturers that do focus on their bracelets get huge praise for it, so I really think others should do so as well.
>>18096781Some 30 year old woman's size Rolex? That's all you are getting for 3k. Or a 60 year old shitter rolex
My watch is not only a timepiece, but a statement of my taste and sophistication. The intricate design and Swiss craftsmanship are unparalleled, a true reflection of my discerning eye for luxury. Its precision and elegance speak volumes about my refined sensibilities, setting me apart from those who do not appreciate the finer things in life. In every glance at its sleek face, I am reminded of the distinction and refinement that I embody.
>>18096848It’s a Seiko prospex solar diver’s. It’s probably not the worst bracelet in the world but I’m not satisfied with it, the strap is so much better
>>18096877Idk, I must have autism and can only wear leather or bracelets. Nato straps, perlon, rubber, etc I've tried but they always are so fiddly and I end up swapping to a bracelet
Ray II came in.
>>18096889>leather strap on a dive watchBruhI like the strap though what is it?
>>18096909Nothing wrong with leather on a dive watch. No one’s going diving anyway.
>>18096889>>18096914You are morbidly obese
>>18096889Looks good on leather.
>>18096914Based. Love old Panerais.
>>18096542>Protip: try them on in store...the new 3861s fit almost identically to the older 1861s and 321s. If you like it, then try it on again another time when you're in a different mood. If you still like it, you win.This is my plan. I tried them on a week or two ago and have been letting it marinade in my mind, ill probably go back the next weekend im free and see how much i still like it.>>18096544but think of how many sats i could have for that money
Any idea what watch Russel Crowe wears in Sleeping Dogs? Not the best shot but maybe someone mentioned it on some forum or somewhere?
>>18096775He's Greek, they are born looking like that
>>18096945Better pic, is it just a Rolex on a leather strap?
>>18095603Just buy the rug rats watch man.
>>18096945Wow the Sleeping Dogs adaptation sure got changed over the years
>>18095603whoever at hublot thought of that is a fucking genious. buy it. this must the best meme in watchmaking.
>>18095603...$24,000
>>18097003Just don't eat out for a month or two?
>>18097007Not an unreasonable suggestion, given that the loudest /wt/ posters constantly burn their money on sushi and strippers
I don't care about watches anymore. I'm going to spend all my money on Drake's clothings now.
>>18097025
>>18095663>posting in watch threads
>>18095704Seamaster 2975I like it because it is good looking and keeps good time
>>18095962Those numerals are ugly. The linen dial ones are cool. But yeah, if you really want a datejust just hold out and get a datejust.

I'm a Mormon, what luxury watch do I buy?
>>18097041
I'm gonna miss buying a watch every two weeks...Now what am I gonna look forward too?
>>18097045
>>18095372Whom, me? What are you talking about I did laundry today.
>>18097043Is it true you can have multiple wives and fuck their daughters?
Cringe or kino?

>>18097110>pheonixkino
>>18097113I would say Europe no relevant as usual but Dubai isn't either
>>18097107I'm thinking about picking this watch up, is it true that the hour hand covers the number despite the opening
>>18097157NTA but it looks like it would from the pic. At least partially.
>>18097110phoenix doesn't do DST. Interesting choice to have that specifically represent mountain time and be technically wrong half the year
>>18097157No
Cop or not?
>>18097109You can do whatever you want if you don't care about the consequences.
Thinking of buying a Vostok Amphibia as my first real watch for a bit over $100 from amazon. I like its unique style with the little iconography and green in the middle. Good choice or should I get something else?
>>18097273>>18097273>Vostok Amphibia>>18097273>first real watchthanks for the keks m8
>>18097273Get that one to begin with. It's a name with history and won't be mogged in a future collection. Once you spend the next few years saving for a luxury wrist watch you will always have a true and dependable beater you can be proud of. Do not fall into the trap of buying a bunch of inexpensive watches
>>18097273I found mine in a box, i dont wear it much though. Needs maintenance that i dont really want to have done so it runs slow even if you keep it wound.
>>18097278Will do, thanks anon.>Do not fall into the trap of buying a bunch of inexpensive watches I don't plan on it>>18097279Nice find, its a very beautiful watch. I have read complaints that about its winding and whatnot.
>>18097273Just get a decent quartz watch and be done with it, don't bother with mechanical shitters, especially russian ones.
Should I really care if my Hamilton and my other watch with a Sellita 210 movement (supposedly top grade) be around +10 and +15 spd or should I try to demagnetize it? I feel like other people get better accuracy than what I got
>>18097286Using the demagnetizer in small bursts isn't going to hurt anything. You way as well give it a try and see what happens. Is the Hamilton one of the newer powermatic variations or one of the older ETA ones? The new ones are regulated in house with lasers and shit and can't be adjusted by third parties, and they're usually regulated much better than that, but barring trying to demagnetize it or sending it in to Hamilton for service there's not much else you could do about it.
>>18097276What's wrong with the Amphibia that would make it "not a real watch" ? It's a perfect entry into mechanical timepieces.>>18097273An amphibia was pretty early for me. I have a handful of watches that are inexpensive I've accumulated over the years through childhood, etc, but the Amphibia was the first mechanical I bought. It's my official swimming/pool/beach/watch since as stated it's fairly inexpensive and I know it'll stay waterproof if I don't open it (I won't) I used the stock bracelet for a while but got sick of it and put it on a zuludiver rubber strap. Still got some sand stuck in the bezel but it rotates alright so whatever. I personally liked this face more than the ones with a motif, I wanted one where there was no number replaced by the date window. I liked the stark Russian-ness of it. Good watch. Only one is needed for the whole experience, though I wouldn't mind a Pripyat with the full lumed dial.
>>18097306>What's wrong with the Amphibia that would make it "not a real watch" ?not expensive enough/not the right brand for some people here. literally nothing else.
Why is the new GA-2300 so small
>>18097314It's what, 42mm? That doesn't seem small.
>>18096561Yes, it is I. What are you wearing today, Fren?>Someone updated 'my' pic to include a Delorean in the background...lol I kept it, it was so good.>>18096869My watches tell the time accurately and reliably enough for my daily requirements. They feel good on my wrist, and I like looking at them. Win?>>18096937Good. There have been other watches that I might have gone back and forth on, but honestly, the Speedies always sang to me every time I put them on.
>>18096945>>18096966Anyone who actually knows anything about watches?
>>18097306>What's wrong with the Amphibia that would make it "not a real watch" ? It's a perfect entry into mechanical timepieces.It's a novelty piece of junk made of tin foil that isn't even novelty anymore because the USSR doesn't exist.
Thoughts on kuoe as a brand? Been kinda digging this aesthetic
>>18097417Great name lol. Even the Chink Alibaba brands are better.
>>18097366>SomeoneYeah, I wonder who...
>>18097424I don't actually know; it was a few threads ago after BitterAnon failed again. I think it's hilarious; it's the rear view mirror that kills me.>>18097417They've been getting a lot of press lately; I'm sure they're fine, but I find their aesthetic boring.
>>18097314Because it's unisex (for women and homosexuals)
>>18097433>I don't actually knowYeah, it's just crazy, right? >.pngOops
>>18097257Why would someone voluntarily wear this?
>>18097424No one actually believes it's not OmegaDrunk jerking off.Just play along, he's a harmless old man having fun.
>>18097440Gotcha! All too easy...
>>18097447>lmao, I make memes of myself avatarfaggingIs this what being alone in your 40s does to a man?

>>18097033NEW PIC
>>18097036Shame about the polyester shirt ruining the pic. Otherwise, it's a timeless and good looking watch. Well done sir.
>>18097366Based.
Kofe time.
>>18097557Zascratchu time
>>18097585ouch
>>18097585Jesus Christ broF
>>18097587The price to pay for daily wear. Beach too.
>>18097585Scratchatzu
>>18097585>first micro scratches started showing upIt's so over.
>>18097110Cool idea but the dial just doesn't look appealing to me.I absolutely adore how Moritz Grossmann makes their watches, especially the movements, but for some reason they refuse to make a basic watch with the old-school logo, a minimalist dial and indices, and the basic handwound movement.
>>18097595>>18097585You are weaving your own story on the timepiece with those scratches, they add tasteful wear on to it. Watches are meant to be worn and enjoyed. Think of the day you pass that on to your kid, they'll see you enjoyed life. That's a better story than "my dad never dared to wear this watch for fear of scratching it so it sat in a box most of the time".
>>18097595It's so fucking over bro.
>>18097599In my case it will be like:Watashi no otousan-
>>18097597Are clear or maybe colored jewels the next big thing in watchmaking?
>>18097600
Just bought my first automatic watch. >combines the best parts of a tissot prx and a role oyster perpetual>fraction of the price of eitherPretty chuffed with it lads.
>>18097614Citizen Chads, our nation just grew. Nice dial.
>>18097616Cheers cobber, i love the dial myself. I've been citizen chadding since 2014 with various models. Have a gshock somewhere around but can't find it atm.
>>18097614All you had to do is get the nb1050.
>>18097619Nah it's a bit too soft looking and I prefer the double bars at 12 and 6.
>>18097621Enjoy your Tsuyosa then, much prefer that over the PRX tbqh fäm.
>>18097618I still don't have a citizen, but there's this guy who wants me to get one with the Washi paper dial and the 5 seconds per year accuracy. I would've bought one by now because it might just be the best quartz watch of all time, but I'm iny exit-watch phase. And the citizen, or any citizen (sorry) doesn't fit in that category.
>>18097623in my*
>>18097614Seriously though, where does one go from here? This pics feel is that of someone who's at his peak and has achieved anything he wants from life. Would a more expensive watch be...."better" at this point? This feels genuine and with a lot of soul. It's like... he didn't find the watch, the watch and him found each other to create this moment of bliss and appreciation of life itself.
>>18097622Me too, I thought hard about a prx but in the end i wasnt completely sold on either the dial texture nore the markers, and the hands are a bit phat as well. The bracelet is nicer than the citizen one though, I may replace my own one with a prx style one in time.

>>18096759>>18096756I wouldn't mind if they sell the same watch with another name on it for the old low price. I could care less about their name. It's not like the 100 now 200 shitter5 isn't made in china or some other SEA shithole with bare minimum QC if any.
