Just bought a chinese watch, AMA
>>18173291The ones I saw from Cheaney were more formal / clean-ish looking rather than edgy like Docs. Not bad looking but not my style.>>18173292Nice manlet cope shoes, retard. My Japanese schoolgirl ex-girlfriend wore something similar, it looks cute with a miniskirt. It's kinda sexy and kinky when you pull her asshole open while she has the massive boots on her feet. Made her a bit taller. Not sure if it can help you though.Also, spending $1000 dollars on a pair of shoes isn't gonna make you more attractive, it just makes you look like a small tryhard goblino.
>>18174045What brand/model?
i don't know shit about watches. Got this meme a while ago but I feel like it doesn't fit right. I either choke my wrist or it hovers (or it sits at the top or bottom of the wrist). What do? wrist size ~6.3 inchMaybe my wrist is too flat and the band too tight. I'm thinking of buying the a158w

Guys what do you think about this? Any good or?
>>18174228It's a Japan-made Seiko Automatic so that's good. I think the dial is a bit convoluted but if you like it get it.
>>18174228I like it
>>18174228Do you have shit in your eyes? This is atrocious.
>>18174228How does that date hand work? Does it snap back like the vacheron equivalents? Was this an expensive watch at the time it came out?
looking for my first watch. want to spend under 500. I want a good all arounder. was thinking pic related. looks elegant enough for formal affairs, and subtle enough for casual nights out. the black face could go with almost any fit. but i am new to /fa/ so what the fuck do i know? can get it for around 400 all in.

>>18174263That's too bad. It is the best movement in its price category and is well respected and recommended by watch experts.
>>18174266Not sure on that statement, It has pretty cheap plastic parts that will wear down fast.

Good eve, Frens. One Anon guessed right the other night when I showed one of the new watches that has come through in my herd. I have one more watch coming in, and I have a feeling it'll be the final one. I know, I said that when the Grail came in, but I realized that there was something absurdly obvious that was missing. I'll give you a clue: the lume and hands of the new watch look like my 2254.50.Hope you are all well, even gentle BitterAnon. >>18174614I've never been a fan of the colour scheme, but I think that's just me. The brown looks like diarrhoea.
>>18174614i like iti like the yellow gold two tone with black and gray more though, i think jubilee looks better than oyster on a two tone
new copypasta just droppedI think you should collect watches like a game of Chess. Each piece like in a strategy game.King - This is your High Horology one piece to be protected at all costs. Like A.

Like Omega Speedmaster, Daytona, Zenith el primero Knight - This is your Pilot GMT, traversing time zones across the game. Like Rolex GMT Master 2, Grand Seiko, TudorRook - This is your Diver, deep into the game, straight up and down. Like Omega Planet Ocean, Submariner, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Pawn - These are your daily warriors, a selection of micro brands or armoured G-Shocks.

No. I like Bishops, because everything else is useless.
>>18174045Based, I have Casio a Steel Diver and some Chinese shitter somewhere. I have others but no swiss in the collection as it stands.
>>18174593That's what I've concluded. 40-60% swiss made only is "swiss made" apparently. What a joke.If your going to buy "Swiss" buy a cheap to mid range because at least your not getting utterly fucked over if it turns out it has cheap parts.

'Sup losers?Just came by to tell you that bitches don't give a fuck about watches, they only give a fuck about how much it cost so they know your financial status.At best they know Rolex and will guess it cost you 1k or sth.So here's what you do.You get an Apple watch, one of the top end models and download a banking app there. Just go about your day with your bank account balance visible and you're set.Now you've signaled your status without being fucked over by "(((luxury)))" brands. Anything else is autism and cope at this point.>Imagine being dumb enough to fall for old tricks when this is literally all you need

Are there fake rolex skydwellers available? Do the fakes actually have all the gmt and calendar functions through the bezel system like the real thing or do they just cosmetically look the same?
It's not even 60% Swiss. It's 60% value, which is money spent in Switzerland. So they can just make the watch entirely in China for say 40 dollars and spend 60 in Switzerland on advertising and it's still called a Swiss watch.

Sure>Do the fakes actually have all the gmt and calendar functions through the bezel system like the real thing or do they just cosmetically look the same?lol no.

>In the late 1950s and early 1960s, both Seiko and a consortium of Switzerland's top watch firms, including Patek Philippe, Piaget, and Omega, fiercely competed to develop the first quartz wristwatch.>In 1962, the Centre Electronique Horloger (CEH), consisting of around 20 Swiss watch manufacturers, was established in Neuchâtel to develop a Swiss-made quartz wristwatch, while simultaneously in Japan, Seiko was also working on an electric watch and developing quartz technology.>On 25 December 1969, Seiko unveiled the Astron, the world's first quartz watch, which marked the beginning of the quartz revolution. The first Swiss quartz analog watch – the Ebauches SA Beta 21 – arrived at the 1970 Basel Fair.How the fuck were the Swiss so incompetent?

what’s for lunch today fellas? i’m thinkin taco salad.
>>18174960They ar ethe first and ONLY watch to be cleared by NASA for extra-vehicular activities in space. They are also the first and among the very few watches that went to the Moon.You may even go so far as to call it a "moonwatch" haha
>>18174960>Explain it to me without saying the words moon, space or NASA.It is the cheapest "luxury" chronograph. It's plain-looking enough that it goes with more or less any outfit.
>>18174970Are you trying to be the new >>18174870 ?
>>18174960It’s a chronograph with an INSANE history
>>18174970Seriously, can't you see this watch is way too big for your wrist? It must feel uncomfortable as hell. I'm not even trying to be a dick or anything. I genuinely wonder how can anyone say "yep this is fine" while looking at this.
>>18174986poor bitter incello
>>18174986It's probably just because he held his phone way too close to his wrist when he took the picture.

I don't get how people could wear a smart watch and think it looks good. I just don't. They make you look like a dork, full stop.
>>18174970>be watchfag>want a Seamaster>buy it>ignore the fact it's too big because first big boy watch>keep it anyway>live in denial>sell it on Chrono24 2 years later for 40% of its original priceMany such cases (been there myself).
>>18175026fixed that for you
>>18175018The seamaster 300s are legitimately too big regardless. They're made in 42mm and 44mm and the fuckers are 14mm thick. It's probably the fattest 300m luxury diver. Even shitters with 3rd party movements are routinely 40mm and under 13mm thick.
New Bulova Moonwatch coming, maybe more of a Marswatch this time. Is it the stupidly big one or the regular big one though?
>>18175032It's especially disappointing considering how thin and wearable the previous generations were (quartz/2982 versions). Around 12mm thick.The current Seamaster is basically the same thickness as the 1st gen Planet Ocean.
>>18175026So basically the ambush timeless bracelet?
>>18174713One is still en route. Once they're both here, then I'll flash a pic or two. The second watch isn't an Omega though...<gasp>. Ngl - I'm excited as punch.
>>18175040>look up pricing>see listings as high as $600 and $900Why in the fuck would you pay $600 for a bracelet shaped like a casio when you can buy the real casio it's modeled on for $20? This feels like a great example of fashion companies not respecting people.
>>18174960Proportions. Look at the relationships of all the circles in terms of size and placement to the center. Include the bezel, the indices, length of hands, sunken subdials, hash marks for the minutes as well as chronograph registers, etc. Once you see the proportional perfection, you'll start to understand it. I will say however that the 105.012 did it best. 1861s with short hour marker indices and the lowered chronograph lume flag destroy the perfection.

>>18174043https://www.nordstrom.com/s/pr-100-classic-bracelet-watch-40mm/7575295I think it looks pretty good.
>>18175056A 3594.50 then? That's the only other Broad Arrow Spud that I can think of without a date.
>>18175051>ProportionsLMFAOThis nigger doesn't get how a beautiful chronograph it's designed. No coincidence a retard enjoys a watch where the subdials look like a face with close-set eyes. They should be more SPACED, you actual retard. And that fixed tachymetric bezel is the most stupid thing ever created. You could just have the scale printed on the dial and use the bezel to track something else. Kys idiot.
>>18174347whatever oysterquartzes go for atm
>>18175064Not OmegaDrunk, but I prefer the Speedmaster to what you attached. I've never been a huge fan of dress chronos but I think two register chronos look better on dressy watches.The popularity of the Speedmaster is purely down to what >>18174980 said, along with the Moon/NASA crap.If you want something nicer, you have to pay a lot more.With the Speedy, you can say, "Yeah, I could have had the Daytona, but the Moonwatch story really resonates with me."
How do we feel about men who wear watches legitimately made for women?
>>18175069It doesn't have to be dressy or gold/golden to be better than the Shitmaster. It's only a matter of dial design.
>>18175072To be fair, that Panthere was a men's watch when it was released.Men should not wear women's watches. The gray area is for unisex watches. A man and a woman can each wear a size L Tank, for example, and it's not specifically called the "men's" or "women's" size.
I’m having sex with a white woman tomorrow I usually prefer black women but I’m trying to keep my mind open
>>18175049>The second watch isn't an Omega though..It's getting interesting. What brand is it from?
>>18175076How on earth is a panthere a men's watch?
>>18174394nah, it just protrudes like that on both sides. I got skinny wrists (+6,5") but decent forearms thanks to climbing

>>18175085>How on earth is a panthere a men's watch?Men's Cartier sizing is still on the small side these days, but it was downright tiny before 2000.The Santos-Dumont was 26x39mm. The Panthere "Jumbo" was 29x39mm The Santos was comparatively large at 29x41mmThe idea with the Panthere was to look more like a bracelet than a watch.
>>18175063>A 3594.50 then? That's the only other Broad Arrow Spud that I can think of without a date.Yeah, that's got to be what it is.
>>18175063Bingo! I'll take some more pics another time. Suffice it to say, I managed to snag one without corrosion on the hands.>>18175064Everything you said is correct if you invert the claim. The spacing, incidentally, was the same strategy Rolex used when they moved to the El Primero, given that their prior Daytona variants were poorly received. >>18175069There is definitely cache to the 'Moonwatch', but it wouldn't sell if it was ugly. Notice how unpopular the X-33 is, and yet it is used extensively for NASA. Fortis watches are similarly not as popular. You need a great watch to start with. One of the flaws of the Daytona is that it's illegible in many lighting conditions; it's another plus for the traditional Speedy. As a practical watch, there are many reasons people buy a Speedy, and the more reasons exist, the wider net is cast for the consoooooomer.>>18175082It's a surprise. I've never owned one from this maker before, but I'll have you guys guess from a lume shot when it comes in.>>18175094Yup! It's gonna be tough to photograph though...the damn hands disappear at the wrong angle. I do like it a lot, but that area of illegibility has always been a minus for this model.
>>18175101Congratulations on your new purchases OmegaChad and welcome back.You were away for quite the while, busy times in life? I hope everything is fine and you've continued to reach higher in this long zigzagging journey we call life.Aside from Omegas, how are your other timepieces doing?
Have longines master for 6 years. Rotor died the other day. Strap fucked too. Default to citizen radio controlled shitter. Can't justify spending £500 on £1000 watch. Look for upgrades, feel like a gmt. Rolex 12k, not available. Tudor 4k but it's cope. What get?
>>18175101>but it wouldn't sell if it was ugly.It's not ugly. It's just boring. It is just about the plainest chronograph possible.But people like boring. When noobs buy their first big boy watch, they don't want something they'll fall out of love with in a couple months. Better chronographs, like the Zenith El Primero, have polarizing details that some people like and others despise. The genius of the Speedmaster is that it is pure unflavored oatmeal.
>>18175109That's not really a discussion you can have with people who make "Speedmaster" their whole personality, though.
>>18175105Thanks Citizenchad! It's been absurdly busy, but nothing to complain about at all. Everything else is running well, and I can't wait until the final piece is in (hopefully tomorrow), though I'll need to take it to the boutique for a new leather strap for sure once it's in. I really like the broad arrow, but it definitely 'feels' vintage like the 60's watches that all had reflective polished hands and are all illegible from the black front point of view. It's an ideal 're-issue'; all the best old parts (applied Omega logo, interesting handset, long hour markers, reverse bezel) put with the best new parts (lyre lugs, better bracelet,etc.). I wanted make sure I got one before they climbed any higher in prices; probably should have gotten it years ago, but there were more important ones to get then.Is everything well with you? How is the Citizen running?>>18175109I can agree that it's not polarizing, but that's attributable to the perfection of the design. If something is perfect, there's nothing anyone can complain about, and there's nothing to 'improve'. So, it just exists, and that's about it. My broad arrow has design flaws (i.e. the hands obscuring the subdials, the bezel being illegible most of the time, etc.)...and that's why it's not as much of a favorite in the community.
>>18175116Yes, all is well on my end. I've been getting more into watchmaking as a hobby.The Citizen is still my daily and has been running impeccably, one could almost claim it to be the best watch ever made.Have a good one, fren.
>>18175124Excellent to hear! >best watch ever madeIt's funny you say that...I'm wholeheartedly convinced that what is coming in tomorrow is precisely that. It's certainly perfect in terms of proportion. As for the movement...I've never heard bad things about it, but I want to test it for myself.Have a great one, CitizenChad!
>>18174740lmao'first impressions matter' goes beyond the watch, even if you were to pyothetically see it first
>>18174056it's manly again once you go small enough tho, right? shows you're not overcompensating and secure in your masculnity. besides, a good neutral dress watch goes with anything.
>>18175148Based Chad.>>18175128>It's funny you say that...I'm wholeheartedly convinced that what is coming in tomorrow is precisely that. It's certainly perfect in terms of proportion. As for the movement...I've never heard bad things about it, but I want to test it for myself.Shit's getting real.
anyone here got a garmin? was thinking of getting an instinct 2 solar if I can get one used at a decent price
>>18175150Smartwatches are for retards.
>>18175150>anyone here got a garmin?I wear one for running (I do not wear it otherwise) and I'm pretty happy with it. But that's more for /fit/ than /wt/.

>>18174043I'm looking for an affordable (cheap) solar diver or speedmaster-type chronograph with sapphire glass and metal braceletAny suggestions?
>>18175166Citizen pro-master dive has everything except the sapphire for less than $300.
>>18175148That's gay as fuck.
>>18175179The Shitmaster is ugly as fuck, amazing that some NPCs can still get cucked by Nasa after all these years.

Is this a shitter. I need to know.
Can't believe this pathetic faggot is back to acting like he's drunk. Kill yourself, worthless maggot.
>>18175202>Refusing to link to a post because he thinks denying a (You) is some kind of punishment.We only know one person who does that. Hmm...could it be? Yes, I believe we've found the real Bittercel!
>>18175191Summoning Lorecel to fill us in...
Based bittercel back to his old antics.What's up with not targeting mort today?
>>18175179sorry but 'gay af' doesn't work anymore in 2024it's 'gay af, because (reasoning)' now cause we're grown ups
>>18175207>What's up with not targeting mort today?Bittercel hates ReversocelBitterAnon hates OmegaDrunk.Obviously, they both hate themselves as well.Two different posters.
>>18175182nasa makes watches?

>>18175214>make-sure-young-children-were-never-around-you-corei don't get it
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.
Your attempt at profiling is pathetic. Only two posts in that image are mine.
kys pathetic imbecile
Stop ban evading faggot
Suck my cock faggot
Your watch is shit you useless soijak insectoid
>watch with a built-in radiation detectorWill these get me laid?
>>18175234Short answer: yes. Long answer: definitely yes.
>>18174614It looks fucking ridiculous on your woman tiny wrist
gtfo moonfag
I have a sellita powered watch that's getting the thing where if you wind the crown, it just makes the rotor spin like crazy instead. Apparently it's not an uncommon issue, and would probably cost more than I paid for the watch to service it. I'm not opposed to just treating it like an old SKX and giving it a good shake, but know any tricks to get around it? It seems to fix itself randomly sometimes.
>>18175217That's all BitterAnon, Bittercel.Did getting that name really bother you THAT much?

>>18175203>Is this a shitter. I need to know.No, it's fine.

>>18175263>That being said all watches with a very few limited ones are shitters.Like what? Any examples? I don't want to spend my money on a shitter.

wtf omegacel IS bittercel?????
If this doesn't stop I will post my watch here and I'm telling you, it's not a luxury timepiece.
>>18175285>I will post my watch hereWell at least we'll know that you're not bittercel.
shittercel
why are avatarfags so livid today?
>>18175294Probably because on of them got a new watch and he's depriving all the others of desperately needed attention.
>>18175267The only non shitters are the 3d globe ones that cost a million dollars
NEW THREAD WEN???
>>18175299Who got a new watch?
>>18175315>Who got a new watch?OmegaDrunk got another Omega and something else that's, apparently, a surprise.
>>18175318Literally who gives a fuck?
>>18175148a little too small broski, i have 7.25" wrists and i wouldnt wear anything below a 39mm
>>18175320Bittercel does.
You're not a man if you wear a watch smaller than 44mm diameter.
Baked a new bread, Frens.>>18175340>>18175340>>18175340GO GO GO!!!
>>18174763this is some avant garde shityou should wear this out more often
>>18174218I'm not a /wt/ regular, only here sometimes, and on occasion I whip up a bait chart where I copy the last one and move shit around at random, then I post it, and almost every time multiple anons sperg out. A while ago I was accused of being an orient shill, a poorfag, and a filipino (kek)
>>18175203Absolutely trashy knock around watch. Get a real watch like a Casio or a Invicta.
>>18175323that watch is 25mm. it't tiny.
>>18175323i'm like 6.8 inches yeah that might be a differencei'm unsure why your watch needs to be larger for larger wrists tho. wouldn't the watchband size be all that matters?
>>18174703>飛行機はちょっと。。。what lol
