BASED thread.
Why 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 you, right here, in this thread.
>>18169969I have no idea what you're talking about.
>>18169950>Non-whoretadello editionThank fucking God. I’ve had enough of this attention whore Anyway. Opinion on picrel?
My Rolex Explorer, after a year of great precision every month, was 55 minutes late yesterday for no apparent reason.
>>18169996It's a copypasta
>>18170034Maybe the power reserve was empty? Bring it back to Rolex
>>18170034change the battery
>RO dual time 36mmAP used to make good watches
>>18170111Nice. When did they stop making that size?
>>18170117This specific model was produced from the early 90s to mid 00s.
>>18170109It's very strange, 44 hours without wearing it, but the watch has about 70 hours of power reserve. On other occasions I haven't worn it for almost three days and it has never stopped. I set the watch every month, last month: -12 seconds in 30 days, which I think is great for a mechanical watch.I am very concerned about Rolex's problems with the new movement.
>>18170128>It's very strange, 44 hours without wearing it, but the watch has about 70 hours of power reserve.Just because you've been wearing it a full day doesn't mean the power reserve was full when you took it off your wrist.
>>18170034Maybe the power reserve was lower than you thought and it was actually close to stopping.
>>18170111Maybe a hundred years ago
>>18170015Looks like a toy
>>18170131>>18170133I hope so, the watch was not worn for two days, then I wore it for about 7 hours before putting it away for 44 hours.
>>18170015Nice watch and I like it because it's not too flashy
>>18170131>put on automatic watch>spend entire day staring at screen>"wtf, why did my watch barely recharge?"
>>18170148Well yeah you're a retard then. Power reserve wasn't full when you took it out, simple as. Also accuracy issues don't happen just like that, it's gradual. You don't go from -1s/day to -1h in just one night.
What's up faggots! How is it going, hope the gypsy already hanged himself.
>>18170189Do you put those things into your butt?
>"No-holes case?" Then how'd they get the movement and crown in there?

>>18170206meh
>>18170175True. I'm a paranoid retard. Thank you. How could I doubt Rolex? I deserve to be punished for doubting Rolex.
>>18170206Is there a no-date version of this? I don't like that date window.
>>18170206Ugly and soulless
>>18170211>>18170256Yeah I've never been a fan of the Overseas. The bezel and bracelet look weird. The whole thing feels overdesigned and gimmicky.
>>18170206Weird that it's from over a week ago but, hey, you do you. If you like it, great.

>>18170289anything'
>>18170289Baltic. Same dogshit movement as Seiko but at least they look cool.
>>18170291baltic uses myota movements. but yeah for that price get one of these for 550. less WR (150 vs 200) but thinner (11 mm vs 13mm)
>>18170206looks great, congratsignore the haters, they seem hellbent on disliking everything that gets posted here

>>18170192>I'm the filthy gypsy
>>18170396I almost bought the one in the OP (with Breguet numerals) but the chink movement discouraged me. I also remembered I have a Rolex and don't really need any of these shitters.
>>18170447Cool complications but ugly designs.There are rumors the man himself is racist/antisemite/homophobic and now I kind of want one.
So which watch thread is the real watch thread?
>new release from TAGThoughts?Probably my 2nd favorite diver dial after Lake Suwa
>>18171204I wonder how it looks with the diving bezel offset
>>18171204A shitter like the Seamaster
>>18171204That might be an unflattering photo, because the overall appearance is kind of lumpy and cartoonish. It looks okay on an actual wrist.
>>18171204kek this looks like a low poly Seamaster
Found this swatch when thrifting, loud as shit, but works well for being 30+ years old.

>>18171395Funny thing is the thread created first was pruned. The last post being the link into this one.Really makes you think.
>>18171370Baltic definitely makes nice watches. Appearance aside, the MR01 just isn’t one of them
Seiko monster gen 1
>>18171417Quite a densely packed dial.
>>18171417First gen still the best. I regret selling my orange one.
>>18171421I get that. Looks like you could sell one for about $300 these days? That's a small enough amount that I'd think I might as well just keep it.
>>18171425Yeah, the prices on them jumped quite a bit when they were discontinued and the second gen didn't look as good.For me, I initially bought it as a cope Doxa SUB Professional and I felt the lack of hand-winding was a pain in the ass. In hindsight, though, it had its own charms I overlooked, like its brutal simplicity and thermonuclear lume.I did eventually get my Doxa but I think the Doxa and the Monster could have coexisted in a collection.I doubt I'd go for another one at this point, since I'm at the point now where I want my collection to be as small/efficient as possible. (i.e. Dress/Daily/Weekend)
>>18171324This is the realest thing that's ever been posted here.
>>18171417Sleepy little guy :)
>>18171324>Why is it that people have such a hard time distinguishing "hate" from "criticism".Because they don't want any criticism at all. They just shelled out a bunch of money on a watch. They don't want some random jerk online pointing out the watch's flaws. They don't even want anyone saying that it's not their cup of tea. To the watch poster it translates to "You wasted your money."
should i buy a first gen grand seiko cal3180?
What ways/products do you use to clean up the rubber straps? I have been using my new watch and at some point i noticed that one of the straps was dirty, i cleaned up with an old toothbrush, soap and water, pic is my watch
>>18171499holy shitter!!! for rubber straps you can just run them under water and clean with any sort of soap. Just take them off the watch if your watch is not water resistant.
>>18171517That's what I tried to do, but it's my first watch ever and couldn't take the straps out, I was afraid of breaking it. Also, it is water resistant but it says only for light raining
>>18171520good morning newfag. do me a favor and post a wristshot

I have 5.5 inch wrists. Unironically, what should I wear?
>>18171596Yes.
>>18171593I'm not. Now show me yours
>>18171597Anything up to 42mm, according to Tim Mosso!But seriously, a few ideas:>Think "Mad Men." Look into vintage or retro pieces. In the mid 20th century, 35-36mm was normal. That's a good era for a narrow wrist.>Try rectangular rather than round dials. This might allow you to get more watch on your wrist without overhang.
>>18171544it is
Kofe time.
>>18171603Why would anyone pay that much for an aqua Terra?
>>18171601>In the mid 20th century, 35-36mm was normalWhat happened?
>>18171597>>18171601Some watches to consider:>Junghans max bill Handaufzug, 34mm>Timex Marlin Hand-Wound, 34mm>Seiko 5 field watch, 37mm>Rolex Oyster Perpetual 34mm or 36mm
>>18171609I think there are three major reasons. The first is that style has changed such that men are wearing long sleeve shirts and jackets less frequently, so the importance of being able to pass under a shirt sleeve easily is minimal. This is also why many brands have moved their date windows from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock, because so many more dudes are manchildren that wear printed tees to work there's less need to have the date easily peek out from under a shirt sleeve, so there's been a move to more emphasize symmetry. The second is that watches used ro be relatively very expensive, so the appeal of having one watch that would work well both for casual wear and for those formal shirt and tie occasions was high.The third is that now that watches have become much more jewelry than practical devices they've become larger to grab more attention. What's the point of wearing a watch if everyone in the room can't see you're wearing a watch? If your watch doesn't take up your entire wrist are you even trying to be noticed? Watches have become gaudy displays to peacock with.
>>18171618>The third is that now that watches have become much more jewelry than practical devices they've become larger to grab more attentionThis is the only reason.
Opinions on the Oris Sixty Five? I never see these mentioned here - is it because the price/quality ratio is not good? Style wise they look great and they are available in 36 and 40mm.
>>18171619I don't think you get the wave of big watches we've had since rhe 80s without all 3 of those factors in play. If everyone still wore sleeves thin little watches would still be appealing. Quartz watches and smart phones making timekeeping cheap and easy wouldn't make small watches any less appealing. If anything quartz encourages making watches smaller, casio makes $20 watches that are 33mm across and 8mm thick that are perpetual calendar chronograph hourly chiming alarm clocks. Making that same quartz watch bigger doesn't make ir any more impressive or expensive, and money couldn't buy a mechanical watch like that.All of these things economic, social, and psychological have lead to this. It's a perfect storm of technology, bad taste and retardation converging.
>>18171620>they are available in 36 and 40mmThis is objectively wrong, they only exist in 38, 40 and 42mm. Anyway i fucking love them.
>>18171620LICK THE SHITORIS LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
>>18171618>This is also why many brands have moved their date windows from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock, because so many more dudes are manchildren that wear printed tees to work there's less need to have the date easily peek out from under a shirt sleeve, so there's been a move to more emphasize symmetry.Date at 3 is more symmetrical though.
>>18171627Not really? I guess it depends on what you mean by symmetry.
>>18171609>What happened?Men are fags now.>fertility + testosterone decline>gynecomastia>porn addiction>manchildism>aggressivity>male hysteria, egocentrism, histrionism>flex culture>lack of decency, self control, etcThey need to overcompensate with big watches, big cars and radical ideologies (left or right). The average modern man is a big fat balding child convinced of being special and unique.
>>18171607No one’s buying it for that money, not even if it was gold or platinum. It’s probably just an engineering and marketing stunt because supposedly the titanium movement is difficult to manufacture
>>18171631This 700%
>>18171633You don't manufacture a titanium movement.
>>18171629The crown messes up the symmetry.
>>18171636That particular watch has a movement made from titanium, the first Omega has made, not sure if it’s the first ever. You can look it up if you like.
seiko 5 question - - is there custom 18mm end links which can be used with those ''tin'' bracelets ? see pic, see how the last links are wider and go into the lugs. this can make dents in the front of the lugs (side u see in pic). the bracelet itself is comfortable to wear and surprisingly doesn't pull hair but that denting shit prevents me from wearing it. i already had the watch on leather strap but dislike how unnatural it sits on the wris.
>>18171644by end link I mean the hollow part missing from this pic the shit covering the spring bar
>>18171637In both cases there is a crown messing up symmetry.
Both of them are canine excrement

>>18171665Lmao which one was it, you don’t manufacture titanium movements or you don’t manufacture movements of any kind?
>>18171653>[ ] thread on /pol/>consensus is that only fags and niggas [ ]Sounds about right
>>18171665You manufacture the parts and assemble them to make the movements. The manufacture of the titanium parts for the movements is the tricky part in the Omega in case
This is one of the pictures on the Rolex site. Why is the watchmaker moving at incredible hihg speeds? What do they do when servicing watches?!

>>18171689He's uncomfortable wearing glasses (they're quartz)
>>18171693dude in that story got cucked by AD or what?
>>18171597What's your budget? 32mm is your ideal size.
>>18171653Yes and No? Most Watch Faggotry is because people get into watches as if it’s some sort of hobby or totem that will ingratiate them to more powerful people. Or they buy on the idea of ‘becoming the sort of person who owns the watch I bought’. That sort of totemic shit is really, really fucking gay.

What's the use of an automatic watch?What you're too poor for a proper dress watch? Too lazy or stupid to wind your watch every morning? Absolutely tasteless, plus having a stupid rotor in there adds thickness to your watch.

What companies are known for the brightest, longest lasting lume?
>>18171862Seiko superluminova and Panerai because they use sandwich dials
I refuse to post in a thread with people like these
>>18171862Ball.
>>18171862>What companies are known for the brightest, longest lasting lume?Panerai lume is always great, as are Seiko divers.Old Omega (from the late 90s through the 2000s) lume was really good too. When they switched to blue, it became longer lasting, but not as bright.The solid blocks of lume that Tudor uses in the Black Bay Pro can be seen in broad daylight. Too bad the rest of the watch is kind of shit. (If they give it the updated movement from the BB58 GMT, though, all will be forgiven)
>>18171865I never know where to count tritium tubes, like Ball's. They're bright when new and never go out, but they do grow dimmer over the years and, when they're dead, they're dead.Compounds like Super Luminova need to be recharged with sunlight but will always glow as brightly as when new.
no it wont
>>18171868Tritium has a half life of 12 years, do you think you will be able to replace tubes by then?
>>18171862>>18171796 Steeldive lume is decent,lasts the entire night.
>>18171871NTC, but it's not worth the cost. Traditional lume is always the best choice.
What's the best modern manual wind dress watch (no date) under 2k?
>>18171689
>>18171886>What's the best modern manual wind dress watch (no date) under 2k?Timex Marlin for around 200 dollarsNomos Tangente 101 for around 1500 dollars (gray)Not really a lot out there anymore.The better bet for a dress watch is to go vintage. It will take a lot more patience to find the best piece for the money, but you can get much, much higher quality watchmaking. Dress watches just aren't that popular, so prices are always low. At that range, solid gold cases are already a possibilityIn terms of durability or accuracy, that's not really something that should be a major concern, since it's a dress watch. You're not going to wear it that often and you're not going to be swimming or mountain climbing in it.

wtf is a quartz chronometer?
>>18171891Imagine being so poor that you wear old clothes lmfao???
>>18171905It's a quartz movement that has been certified by some metrology bureau (e.g. COSC) as being accurate enough to use as a chronometer.Chronometer standards for quartz are different than they are for mechanical. Obviously, quartz has to be more accurate, +/- 10 seconds per year, but also has to work at a wider range of temperatures, since normal quartz movements speed up or slow down as the temperature fluctuates. Quartz chronometer movements will usually be described as thermocompensated, meaning the movement has a mechanism to determine the temperature and adjust itself accordingly.

>>18171871Regular lume will probably wear out as much as tritium in 20-30 years.
>>18171945>Regular lume will probably wear out as much as tritium in 20-30 years.No. Strontium aluminate based lume (Super-LumiNova) does not wear out in the same way as tritium. They operate under different chemical properties. With normal usage, it should basically never wear out.What happens is that UV radiation excites electrons into a higher energetic state and then begin emitting light. Once the excess energy is bled off, the electrons fall back into their normal state.With tritium lume, there are two components: the tritium (a hydrogen isotope), which is constantly beta particles (fast electrons) and those electrons excite a phosphorescent material. However, once the tritium has emitted all its extra electrons, it's just hydrogen. To get it to glow again, you have to add more tritium to the mix. Now, when Super-LumiNova is exposed to strong radiation for 1000 hours straight, the manufacturer has noticed that the strength of the brightness and duration will have decreased from new, but that effect has not been observed in rotating periods of light and darkness.
>>18171939thanks
Any other green dial fans?
>>18171963Fuck no that looks waful.
>>18171963Sort of. Picrel.I like green, but I'd never spend a lot of money on a green-dialled watch because I feel like I wouldn't wear it enough.
what are the two bezels rolex has, fluted and what is it called when it is not fluted, ie smooth?If you get a fluted bezel you should get a jubilee bracelet, and if you get a smooth bezel you should get the oyster bracelet, correct? or can you mix it (or will it look silly?)
>>18171982The non-fluted bezels are typically called smooth or domed. (They both exist and are actually slightly different, but 99% of the time, you can use them interchangeably and people will know what you're talking about.)And yes, you have it correct: fluted + Jubilee, smooth + Oyster.You can mix it up if you think it looks good, but most people prefer the traditional combos.
Can't decide which Longines to get. I think they've been killing it the last couple years. What do you guys think?
>>18171987gracias
>>18171990Very weird choice but if you absolutely want longines then zulu time
>>18171990I like the new Hydroconquest GMT. The regular Spirit Automatic in 37mm is nice too.I think the Heritage Classic sector dial but 30m WR just seems frail for something that I would want to use as a daily wearer.
>>18171992>Very weird choiceWhy?
>>18172001Longines is not a very well appreciated brand ITT.
>>18172003I ask again: Why? Shit QC or something?
>>18172005Because it's a mall watch for poor people?
>>18171969That's a neat shade. Do you just think green doesn't go with much, or just prefer other colors?
>>18172005Awkward pricing.
>>18172005Most of it is just standard /wt/ bitterness at people liking things.But also, general dislike for anything owned by Swatch.The idea that Longines could be "great" if only Swatch wasn't kneecapping them to keep them locked in a specific price segment.Using ETA movements.Having too much of their catalog devoted to prissy dress watches and women's watches, marketed heavily to the east Asian market.
>>18171990Only correct answer is VHP
>>18172008>Do you just think green doesn't go with much, or just prefer other colors?Green dials stand out a ton and I generally don't like my watch to draw attraction. A simple black/white/gray/silver face can fly under the radar more easily.
>>18172010This is correct. Zulu is 3.5k which is dangerously close to tudor which is better in every conceivable way
>>18171924Hey Mort.Unfathomably based watch.
>>18172020You're overlooking the subjectivity of personal opinion, though. Only autists buy purely based on spec sheets.If you don't like the Tudor and you do like the Longines then the Tudor's not a realistic option. Also, the Zulu is CONSIDERABLY cheaper than the Tudor BB58 GMT, since the gray market price for the Zulu is about 2,2k USD.However, I do agree, though, that the extra thousand or so premium that the Tudor commands is worth it in terms of overall package.
>>18172027It's just Longines doesn't offer anything that other brands not doing better.
>>18172032Unless you actually like how they look.
>>18172037I mean the compressor divers are not bad, zulu time obviously, but other than that?

>>18171963I've spent a lot of time looking for one. Ideally with this lighter shade of green, a date window, and a 38mm case size + steel bracelet. The one that ticks all those boxes is this Carrera, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to drop $3k on it. How much did that Prospex run you?
>>18171990Probably the best watch if you have an above average wrist is their Ultrachron, but I would get the Legend diver or some sector dial.>>18172027I spent a lot of time deciding my first expensive watch, in the end there was two watches, Longines legend diver and Black bay 58. I really liked the legend diver, but it was very expensive, the movement was a modified workhorse movement, but that was kinda ok, the bad thing is that it was rather shiny and the bracelet looked rather cheap, the worst being that the strap version price was almost the same as with bracelet and only came in one colour. So just 400eur more and I could get a black bay 58 a really solid diver, better finished but less fancy looking (Legend diver had some lacquer and shine) as most of it is brushed and the bezel is made from aluminium, something I really like, and the bracelet, was really ahead of the Longines one.But in case BB58GMT VS Longines GMT I would get Longines Hidro GMT or Zulu, even if they are marginally worse, they are better looking in my opinion, they are very nice looking and come in different colours.
>>18172047$980
>>18172039for above average wrists, the Ultrachron is the best Longines watch in terms of watchmaking and it is pretty cheap considering its movement.
>>18172054Hydroconquest looks terrible what is wrong with you?
>>18172056>considering its movementIts quartz.
>>18172027>premium that the Tudor commandsIs being a Rolex cope really a premium?
>>18172056I don't like the way that negro looks at me. But i do think this ultra-chron is what longines should be making, something that no other brands have.
>>18172059
>>18172059Wait a fucknugget, its not quartz.
>>18172061Sorry, I forgot there's a lot of ESLs in here."Premium" in this context refers to the difference in price between the Tudor and the Longines. It doesn't mean that one is more luxurious or prestigious than the other.
>>18172059It is not, a high beat mechanical watch, other brands would ask a lot more for that, then Longines have that sleeper among many many watches and models.
>>18172070Too bad they only put it in one watch and its pretty ugly.
>>18172055Nice. I like the texture on the dial as well. Was considering the PRX because it had one. Sadly, I don't think they're still offering it in that color, at least from what I saw on their US site.
>>18172059It's not quartz, idiot. That's the VHP you're thinking of.The Ultra-Chron has a 5Hz automatic.
>>18172070So they call it The Ultra Most Accurate Watch but don't actually say how accurate it is.
>>18172077Very accurate, cosc level tested over many days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucWjVOCt6D4
>>18172081
>>18172072This is similar in price point. Currently in pre-order for this month. I'm looking at the white faced myself.https://www.christopherward.com/int/watches/C63-Sealander-Automatic/C63-39ADA3-S00V1-B0.html
>>18172082So why are they not saying it? Are they shy? Rolex tells us its 3230 has accuracy of -2\+2 every other breath.
whats the name of that minimalist lookin' japanese watch where the dial goes left to right?
>>18172084
>>18172089
>>18172087What do you mean, they don't say it? You want them to print it on the dial? It has an "ultra chronometer" certification from TIMELAB in Geneva. You can look up for yourself what that means.
>>18172098There is not a single word about its accuracy on the Longines website other than that ultra super gay faggot shit.
>>18172111
>>18171963>>18171969>>18172008Here's a green of mine.>>18172023Thanks, m8.

>>18172117>>18172118Just fuck off. You never add anything to the discussion, you just post your same ancient pics over and over again.
>>18172118Nice vintage piece, anon, I unironically like this shape
>>18172107See >>18172098>You can look up for yourself what that means.It's understandable. You thought it was just a meaningless branding exercise that meant nothing and then an anon corrected you and now you feel a little embarrassed.
>>18172117>>18172118I like these photographs, thank you for sharing, lawyerbrah.
>>18172132
>>18172085>CHWardDon't make the same mistake I made. I got rused by them. Their quality is poor. They feel no different than a San Shartin in terms of finishing. They just spend more on their advertising budget.
>>18172137Objectively false and you know it.
>>18172131It's all so tiresome.
>>18172124>you just post your same ancient pics over and over again.It's like you don't understand what avatarfagging even is.
>>18172144>Different companies do things differentlyand?My brother in Christ, you're getting needlessly upset over a watch that you'll never buy, made by a company you will never buy anything from.
>>18172148>our watch is so super ultra accurate>how accurate is it?>fuck you that's howI am not gonna indulge your cretinism any longer.
>>18172150Are you just pretending to be retarded?You were literally told what certification standard it has. You were even told the name lab that does conducts the process.You fucking moron.
>>18172085It does look nice, but I'm not sure if I'd prefer it over a Baby Alpinist. The Twelve in this color would have been my #1 choice if they sold it with the date window.
>>18172153i'm actually surprised you've let yourself get trolled for this longit's been pretty apparent from the jump he's just trying to get you wound up

Why are there so many bad people in these threads, and in /fa/ in general?Over the past few weeks, I posted multiple watches (models that are generally highly rated all over the internet) and for every single watch I posted, I got a load of replies all telling me that the watch is ugly.Do you get off at the thought of making somebody miserable? I just want to get a nice watch and I don't have a million to spend on AP or something. I know, you'll tell me I'm a third world poorfag with terrible taste or something. I wish we were all supportive of each other and could just enjoy our hobby, enjoying all the beautiful watches that exist. Instead of shitting on each other... so I guess what I'm trying to say is, fuck you niggers
>>18171204>>18171218The dial looks better than the current semenmaster with those retarded exaggerated wave lines. The old Brosnan Bond suble wave lines were much nicer.
>>18172169>so I guess what I'm trying to say is, fuck you niggersBased
Am i a child if i find this watch very cool?This is the official watch of britain submarine forces btw.
>>18172169>models that are generally highly rated all over the internetreddit isn't the internet chud
>>18172177>This is the official watch of britain submarine forces btw.loldid you fall for nft scams too?
>>18172180In the past, CWC made issued watches for the British military
>>18172180It's CWC which is the official supplier for the british military, is it not?
>>18172180>The Jolly Roger is a symbol that has been used by submarines, primarily those of the Royal Navy Submarine Service and its predecessors. The practice came about during WWI: remembering comments by first sea lord Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson, who complained that submarines were "underhanded, unfair, and damned un-English" and that personnel should be hanged as pirates.>Lieutenant Commander Max Horton began flying the flag after returning from successful patrols. Initially, Horton's submarine HMS E9 flew an additional flag after each successful patrol, but when there was no room for more, the practice was changed to a single large flag, onto which symbols indicating the submarine's achievements were sewn.I would say based.
>>18172177>This is the official watch of britain submarine forces btw.
>>18172177>This is the official watch of britain submarine forces btw.Why would you want to wear a watch worn by zogbots?
>>18172188We have Seagull owner here
>luxury watch>extremely comfortable or elegant, especially when involving great expense>you're not going to believe how luxury this watch is, it's $10,000>you could get a car for the price of this watch>it's a rugged steel watch,>used to be on the wrists of working men, soldiers, explorers>now it's prestige jewellery How did they pull it off?
>>18172193demandmarketingonly communists think price should be (or is) determined by the value of materials or work. it costs the amount people are willing to pay
>>18172193If you don't like it you can beat Rolex in their own trade. Build a watch that's better and cheaper.
>>18172183>>18172181CWC was something, in the 80s. The current one makes money from people too poor to afford a submariner or even a seamaster and want to larp as a british soldier or james bond or some other retarded shit.All they are now is a purveyor of overpriced larp watches made "in switzerland" by way of guagzhou. Don't fall for the larp.
>>18172201Apparently san martin already does lmao
>>18172186The royal navy's sub fleet were forced by the goverment to remove the jolly roger from their boats ages ago because>no fun allowed
>>18171954I guess we'll see in about 20-30 years.
>>18172206I wonder if that's not intentional? If the bezel receives a hard fucking wallop (the ceramic insert will crack lol) but could the bezel itself not crack the crystal if there's not enough of a gap between?
>>18171963
>>18172206But san shartin is not as accurate.
>>18172196>bringing up the ltv for some reason>marketingObviously it's marketing, but how do you 10x your prices and have people continue to buy your product, get them to worship your product?>>18172201G-shock glows in the dark, g-shock is radio controlled, g-shock has alarms, g-shock costs a fraction of the price. Do you honestly think anyone is buying Rolex for utility at this point?
>>18172215Hate to break it to you anon, but if you want accuracy you’re better off with a timex or a Casio.
>>18172177i agree it's cool. the problem is that I associate something very different with the word "CWC" and so I'd never even consider this watch.
>>18172215Look at the Longines from earlier in the thread. Nobody cares.
>>18171689He's getting into the mind of the watch. Simulating what it is like to be an oscillatory systemJK he hates his job and loves fucking clients watches up
>>18172222Yea but gshock is a plastic toy and its quartz. Rolex is accurate and mechanical, which is very hard and some people appreciate the level of engineering that goes into a small metal box.That being said i do think rolex is ridiculously overpriced.
>>18172239Pretty sure I own some of his work
>>18172222>obviously it's marketing but how do you marketing?you marketing

Who would you hire as the first brand ambassador for your independent watchmaking company, anon?
>>18172249Sseth Tzeentach
>>18172227Difference is that Longines is a literary who shitter while Rolex is the only watch that matters. A Rolex could be gaining 30 mins a day and it would still be the best watch.

>>18172262>except as jewellery or a status symbol.
>>18172047After doing some research, it turns out there are vintage Seikos with this exact same color combo. Will try and track down one of those.
>>18172269>Nobody gives a shit.People who are insecure about their status do.
Guys, Bill Gates wears a $40 Casio Duro, so there's no point in spending more than that on a watch
Do you prefer Omega Aqua Terra or Rolex Datejust?
Still enjoying this Farer.
>>18172335>Do you prefer Omega Aqua Terra or Rolex Datejust?Datejust.It's not really a fair comparison, since the AT is like half the price.
>>18172215My san martin 62mas runs at +1,5spd
>>18172212I've been waiting for the american watch servicing company to do a warranty repair on a squale since may and the watchmaker keeps saying they're still waiting for squale to send them parts. Fuck this hoe ass company.

Someone explain why Casio hasn't made a 5600/5000 series square gshock with a MIP display.
>>18172487Check out the DW-H5600.
>>18172496It has all the fitness and exercise junk on it, including the sensors that stick out on the caseback. Why does casio feel that MIP has to be paired with exercise functions? I wonder if it's too energy hungry and that consumers will only recharge a watch regularly if it has some sort of smart watch like capabilities. I could be completely wrong though..
GUCCI GUCCI GUCCI
>>18172487Can someone explain to me why they don't sell 5600 in an array of colours always available? Why can't I get a light blue one right now? I don't want fucking peach
>>18172514I think part of their business model is hyping people up for drops of limited editions. This one was just released in the us https://www.casio.com/us/watches/gshock/product.DW-5600EP-2/
