Just posting my anus lads
>>18185551I don't love brands, I love particular watches regardless of the brand. I like Explorer. I have adopted The Boring Core. Keep it simple.
I can't help but notice watchfags never talk about watches for what they actually are, ie FASHION ACCESSORIES.Every wristshot should at least include the following>jacket>trousers>shoesWhy? Because you can have the best watch in the world, it won't matter if you look like a slob. On the opposite, a Swatch can really compliment an outfit if chosen carefully.This opinion is highly controversial btw, just look at all the quotes from seething incels. Pathetic, really.
>>18185553>18185553Your anus looks a bit busy for my taste (aaay) otherwise nice anon.
>>18185557It is warm right now and I am writing this post wearing only shorts.Have a picture of this Seiko Alpinist instead.
>>18185557I can post my cum stained sweatpants and bare feet, would you like that?
Why don't just get yourself a Marinor? Looks cool and virtually indestructible.
>>18185557It's true, but remember why people get into watches to begin with: they either dress like fucking shit, garbage festooned with brand names, or they're too fat to wear fashionable clothes.They hope the good watch can override the fact that they look like clowns otherwise.It's the same reason guys who get into watches get into other accessories, like perfume or boots or jewelry but never actual clothes.
>>18185572
>>18185509I enjoy wearing all my watches,from the expensive to the cheaper ones,from quartz to mechanical.

>>18185580It's hard to photography you watch well when you are holding a baby, something i do for 90% of the time. Bought some natos because as you can see,his hands are always wet and he loves touching my watches and if I wear leather he can scratch it with his always growing nails,natos are also good for bathing and are usually more comfortable than rubber becase for now i didn't found a good rubber strap. Natos also get all the moist and make my wrists more dry so less chance of getting some skin rash

>>18185655oh no we are not friends at all, it all started probably in his retarded discord server, I was clowning him on there for being Brazilian, since one time he posted a screenshot of some Brazilian celebrity news and I was like, why are you interested in that? you must be Brazilian, then I also started calling him a gypsy since he doxxed his face by posting a retarded dating app screenshot of his profile and his face looked like a typical ugly gypsy face. He also made himself look just like a pretty bad person, not a good guy at all, no wonder his wife left him and he only fucks prostitutes, after all that I received a dm from him saying "hi m8, you wanna talk?" and I just said no not at all and then he deleted he from the server, end of the story.

Is anyone else kind of done with microbrands? I own 3 microbrand watches, and while I like them, I feel as though having another NH or Miyota-powered watch won't do anything for me. I don't want to pay $2K for a Sellita either.

>>18185743This is /wt/ where watches are super obscure and no normie knows anything about them but you'll still get mugged if you dare step out with a TAG on your wrist, where Rolex is bought on credit by poor people which is why it's such an exclusive and rare brand that makes you stand out anyway.If you want to know something about a watch, ask /wt/ : the opposite of what you read here will be the truth.

>>18185770>Yes!Lmao implying, it's actually more like>Yes! Well.. people online said it's one of the most desirable and I've read up about the history of the model, I think that's definitely a respectable watch and it must be good if it's that expensive and out of stock...

>>18185779Unironically yes, if you like a watch because the internet told you to, you're a cuck.
Have you taken your pills?
>>18185789Similarly, if you dislike a watch, especially one you've never seen in person, simply because of the internet, you're equally cucked.
>>18185796Yeah but that never happens.
Alright lads..There's some confusion around here.1. If you CAN buy the watch, means it is obtainable, which means it's a mall shitter.2. You shouldn't buy shitters.

Meh, I get better advice from my wife than in this shithole.Later, nerds.
I think the Citizen haq is a good watch.

Have you seen that study of those monkeys where they give one monkey a fake "mother" who is just some cold metal frame and the young monkey just huddles up to it and the young monkey loses its hair and end up looking like absolute shit compared to the monkeys that got a real mother monkey? Yeah...Two more years and I'll be a 40 year old virgin.I'm planning to get myself an A.

I remember that this thread on /g/ was quite comfy, it was almost always about gshock, but that's okay
Finally anon, I'm talking to you, you are mentally ill, you contribute nothing to this thread or to the world, out of pity for yourself you should commit suicide.
>>18185840lmao yea sure bud. It got moved here for a reason.
>>18185716>I don't want to pay $2K for a Sellita either.Several micros have Sellita movememnts in the $750-$1500 range.That said all the charts joke about enthusiast-tier watches, but that's literally what micros are for - nobody gets any general cachet from wearing a microbrand; you just have to like the watch, period, and not expect that it's going to please anybody but yourself. If you do that, then micros are fine for you. If you are looking for some outside validation from seeing your brand name on one of /wt/'s charts or from having some random passerby say 'oh wow, what a nice watch,' then you're doing it wrong.Honestly you're doing it wrong if you're relying on that validation from anybody regardless of what you are wearing, be it luxury or shitty mall-tier beater, but it's particularly the case with micros.

just stopping by to get some outside perspective on a Grand Seiko SBGA463. Big fan of diver functionality, big fan of Spring Drive, big fan of Lumibrite. It's a dream watch for me - anyone have any hands on experience?Additionally interested in the Citizen Promaster Fujitsubo in grey - gorgeous watch, decent movement and titanium is a bonus for sure. Thoughts?
>>18186016>soikoto the trash it belongs
>>18185550yeah, that display would be nice>>18185805good luck on your search bro. other colors are also worth considering unless you really want a red dial.
>>18186019 my brother in christ, I am wearing a Casio duro as we speak - there is not much I can do to go lower LOL. Spring Drive's are just so nice though, I've always dreamed of having my middle school band classroom quartz wallclocks second hand sweeping movement on my wrist at all times
>>18186026>Spring Drive's are just so nice though, I've always dreamed of having my middle school band classroom quartz wallclocks second hand sweeping movement on my wrist at all timesFair enough. I think just about any Seiko that costs more than $50 or so is just massive cope about not having a better watch, but I will admit that the pure and constant sweep of a spring drive seconds hand is kino. If you look at it as an enthusiast watch, and don't try to pretend it competes with true luxury watches, it's fine.
>>18185997I like that black dial middle watch
>>18186016It's a bit on the big side but hides its size well.
>>18186007That's kinda gay desu.>>18185997The Alpinist is the protagonist.>>18185986>>18185955Can you stop being bitter for one hour?>>18185948It fits. It was the right choice. Yout wrists looks like 17cm circumference. Neeldess to say that, if you had gotten the 36mm, bitter would call you a girl, so yeah.
>>18186016The diameter is huge but the lug to lug is 51mm so it's still managable. I only have experience with spring drive but not this watch in particular or anything of that size.Is it that high grade titanium thingy that gs uses?
>>18185717Funky fresh!
Kofe time.
>>18186021I like the red the most, blue and green are also alright by me, I am assuming anyone who sells the red would sell both blue and green as well, so I would probably buy all three. I did find a place that sold the purple sunset, but I didn't move fast enough and it was sold by the time I contacted them.
>>18186049>don't try to pretend it competes with true luxury watches, it's fine.This is just territorialism at this point, GS owners just need to stay off your patch as a SWISS watch owner :^)
>>18185948>I'm not a fagAnd now you look like a twink who borrowed his sugar daddy's Rolex lmao
>>18186096>the explorer sells for $180
>>18186099This is like $2k in today's money.Basically the price of a Longines.
>>18186096Anyone going climbing mountains in a $10k watch nowadays is probably clinically insane.
Has anyone of you ever heard of these shitters? I quite like the bezel and it has helium escape valve for less than 200 bucks.
>>18186103No, the clinically insane are those doing the same thing over and over 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.
I'll be the first to say it: Bell & Ross watches look good.
>>18186119You will indeed be the frist one ever who thinks so.
>>18186119post a good looking watch from them then
They look like gift shop watches
>>18186121>>18186122>>18186123The design of their flagship watch is good, obviously reminiscent of flight instruments and the whole Panerai beefy aesthetic. They're large as fuck but they'll work with the right outfit.I prefer these over any soulless half ass "tool watches" for office dwellers like the Aqua Terra or Grand BAAAASEDYYYYKO.
>>18186127>It doesn't even look like a watch! It's like a clock in a plane!Novelty watch, like you find in gift shops
>>18186127>Grand BAAAASEDYYYYKO
>>18186128>It's like a clock in a plane!The thing is it doesn't
>>18186130The thing about that is it does.
>>18186096terrible text and the hand looks like a horror movie poster from a grave
>>18186113>for less than 200 bucks.u'd be lucky if it has 30m wr
>>18186082>"the diameter is huge"Yeah, 44's are a beast. I can wear them comfortably but I still wouldn't hate a 39 or even a 41 in it.>"Is it that high grade titanium thingy"Nah, Spring Drives are the continual sweeps, automatic movement that provides power to a quartz "brake", so to speak (in addition to braking it can speed up the movement based on the IC readings). Their titanium is pretty baller from what I've seen though. You're a Rolex guy, though? Is that right? I've got such little experience with Rolex, always loved the submariner obviously (big dive watch fan here, been in pools, oceans, and water bodies my entire life). Any hot picks lately? I saw the internet went nuts for that olive dial date the other week, lol - looked nice!
>>18186119More like BELL END Ross, amirite?
i love it. my only complaint is that timex should have used indiglo, the light is beyond useless.
>>18186085Based
>>18186147Yes, you are correct.

>>18186176It has to have it to blend in the with the DWs. Clever design choice by JLC if I'm completely honest.
>>18186174You mean deadbeat seconds? The most obsolete possible mechanical movement type?
Good morning watch enthusiasts
>>18186174>3 hands watch>blue dial>40mmThe complication is neat but the design is typical Richemont slop. Someone posts that "Richemont formula" meme pls.
>>18186174Why would anyone in the world want jumping second hand on a mechanical watch?
>>18186145Did you mean to reply to someone else? I told you I have owned a GS for a while and I could give you some feedback about the spring drive if you want. I just asked if you happen to know if it is their slightly harder higher grade titanium.
>>18185690vintage. unironically. basically only market where value for money exists. be careful of frankens tho.
Guys I just found out about pic related. Why didn't anyone ever tell me about it? And it's less than 2K MSRP, what's the catch?
>>18186195>what's the catch?It's quartz.
>>18186184I wouldn't wear polyester gloves at a, what seems to be, hard labor environment. But to each his own.Nice G Shock btw. does it show the temperature?
>>18186195Is chronomaster short for chronic masturbater?
>>18186196Well yeah I see it, it says "accurate"
>>18186200Buy 50 dollar citizen then and it will be as accurate.
>>18186127Id rather buy a Sinn
>>18186199Bit of a stretch, I'll give that 4/10
>>18186184Good morning fellow G-Shock enjoyer.
>Zaratzu polishing
Lol u mean tin polishing?
why buy rolex when you can buy davosa?
>>18186215you took a perfect photo of first world poverty
>>18186195I have this watch and honestly it is the best watch ever made.The high accuracy thermally compensated quartz movement keeps it on the EXACT time pretty much always. plus it has a perpetual calendar that you'll never have to set again.It also comes very nicely packaged with a mixed zaratzu polished and brushed case with a super comfy and solid bracelet. The double coated antireflective sapphire crystal is so clear you don't even realize it's there. Anons seethe at it though, must mean I'm doing something right.Cheers.

>>18186249So what? The watch being light and comfortable is the point.
>>18186096Spotted the poorfag. Shut up you poor bitch. How does it feel to be poor??
If you DID want to buy a Rolex clone, is there a reason to spend anymore than the cost of a Steinhart? Because even then I get the feeling it's going to be basically the same build quality as a San Martin but you get a slightly less embarrassing brand and Swiss Made on the dial.I feel like the more you spend on not-a-Rolex the bigger the cope, like even if you're spending a couple of grand on a clone, that's still not going to be the Rolex you actually desire and it being a pricey homage/clone isn't going to change that anymore than if it was a clone that was $500.

>>18186264i got more nigga, its just the rotation of this week.
>>18186266Welp, should have picked a less boring rotation to flex with
>>18186264>>18186266also, I'm waiting to buy the new white speedmaster.
>>18186259And they dare call watch guys superficial and tasteless..
>>18186270Wow, silver, black AND white?
>>18186275just like God intended.
>>18186258Maybe if you're climbing Matterhorn but not if you want to look good
>>18186259Kid is probably crying out of hunger, likely not over not having a luxury watch. What was your angle here?

>>18186280Sure... fag. Lets see a photo of you now...
>>18186281It doesn't make sense though, you posted probably the least likely person in the world to want those watches or any watches at all.
>>18185948>>18186259I have nothing against the Explorer 40mm, looks good on your wrist, it's just that the Explorer looks better if it's a little small on your wrist like the Cartier Tank
>>18186284funny you say that, I was about to buy a Santos medium like 2 years ago but got a Tudor instead. might get one in the future. Cartier is great.
>>18186282Shave your back.

>>18186282Entry level gains wont cure your baldness, fatty.
>>18186285I would recommend Santos Dumont, the thing about Cartier is that their more exclusive watches look much better, a good entry point is Tank Louis.
>>18186288nah, I'm the hairy arm Marathon guy, but I havent posted in a while
>>18186290>I would recommend Santos Dumont, the thing about Cartier is that their more exclusive watches look much better, a good entry point is Tank Louis.The solid gold Santos-Dumont is really nice.
>>18186277I want to look good AND be comfortable and 36mm watches help with both of those things.
I remember *A* Marathon guy, he insisted that 30m of WR means his watch can dive down to 30m and the thread dared him to wear his watch in the shower, I don't recall him ever following up on that.
>>18186297You should open up a /wt/ wiki at this point, lorecel
>>18186297I thought that was a Skmei? Didn't he dip it in a bowl of water?
Redpill me on CVC.
>>18186297I'm the GSAR one
>>18186301Nah IIRC someone thought the Marathon GP was overpriced to have only 3ATM of WR and this Marathon anon argued for hours about how no one needs their watch to go deeper than 30m underwater other than divers.

Imagine going from this...
>>18186309... to this.
>>18186303I also said to some anon that I was going to post my Zodiac as soon as I receive it but I never did.
>>18186304Funny enough, Patek recently decided that no one needs to go more than 30m down and changed all their water resistances.Now, any Patek is listed as either water resistant or not. Water resistant means each watch has been tested to 30m. That's it. Calatrava? 30m. Aquanaut? 30m.
>>18186314>jews decisions
>>18186314Well that was the point though, it's a misconception that 30m actually means 30m because despite the implication that actually just means splashproof. So effectively Patek doesn't a watch you could swim with, which is a bit lame for a sports watch like the Nautilus.
How come there are so many old people in /wt/?
>>18186320The difference now is that Patek is saying thirty meters means thirty meters, having been tested to thirty meters.I don't think it's a smart move, because the watch buying public doesn't think you can ever get a watch wet unless it has a screwdown crown and at least a hundred meters of water resistance. Actually swim? Five hundred meters to be safe.

I'll never understand why people want a 40mm Explorer. The whole point of that watch is the vintage feeling which is 90% about proportions and 10% dial. Same with these XL Reverso or whatever the fuck they call these nowadays. You're just missing the point really. I'm fine with people buying large watches but there are better options than these bloated neo-vintage watches. It's just so weird to me.
Well since you guys don't like me and don't want me on this board anymore, I will be going now. Thx for the keks.

>>18186328>vintage feeling which is 90% about proportions and 10% dialAnd yet they even managed to fuck up the dial, with those low, fat and flattened horrible numbers.
>>18186307>CitizenFinnsno such thing, he was first called citizen anon, then citizen drunk, and after the avatarfagging and blogging didn't halt, he got the name finncel.gynofinn is also a name he responds to
>>18186331KWAB
>>18186328That's my point of view, but although it may surprise you, people want bigger watches, the trend of small watches is only popular among certain fans who admire vintage pieces, but it is not mainstream. Rolex has realized, I have a feeling the current 36 mm Explorer will be the last.
>>18186331wait, we need a name for your first. Explodello?
>>18186343Probably because of how expensive watches have gotten as a niche item, people want something that feels more substantial on their wrist or when they hold it in their hands and the best way to achieve that is by making it bigger.Some of these really expensive dress watches people have posted, they look nice if a bit basic, but I can definitely imagine myself feeling a bit disappointed shelling out like $30,000 on something that is like 40g maximum and just disappears on wrist. Vintage watches were small, because they weren't niche, weren't as expensive when new and so being small and light made sense then for people who just needed a watch but is now a convenience people who still want to wear a watch no longer desire
>>18186344Posting his explorer while on the can, I'm thinking exploshitter
>>18186348>I can definitely imagine myself feeling a bit disappointed shelling out like $30,000 on something that is like 40g maximum and just disappears on wrist.The irony is a small dress watch will be more noticeable than a 40mm dress watch nowadays.
>>18186313How are the movements?
>>18186348I agree with you.For example, we are talking about the Explorer, it is a small watch, so it is comfortable, it makes sense that it is small because it is very simple, only three hands and the 369 dial is very legible. Then you have a very comfortable, highly legible, utilitarian and elegant watch. A perfect design. This is how watches were designed before. But with the quartz crisis everything changed, that is why the Royal Oak is so important because it marked the current trend in watchmaking. Striking design over functionality and big enough to surprise. I like the Royal Oak though.
I'm bored at work and I have Photoshop and Illustrator.Give me ideas for some funny watch memes bros.
>>18186361I will say about the larger explorer, it feels like some of the elements like the bezel and lugs look too chunky, it is supposed to be a small elegant watch so when they puff up the case just to arbitrarily reach 41mm, yeah you can tell that's just not how the watch was supposed to be.
>>18186364The concent meme "Is there someone you forgot to ask?", but with watches where the AD agrees to sell a watch, anon agrees to buy it and some chud/wojak sitting on his computer doesn't like that watch.

>>18186430
>>18186088I honestly don't care if the GS owners talk about their watches being 'true luxury watches' or whatever, but any time anyone needs to justify a watch by calling it a luxury watch, it's cringe. Patek wearers don't go around talking about how their watch is 'top tier luxury,' they just wear the watch. A higher proportion of GS wearers than most other brands (save Rolex, which also has a high proportion of annoying wearers) seeks to justify their watch purchase by some appeal to luxury, which is silly.

I've only ever owned one swiss-branded watch before, it's a Tissot PRX and I liked it so much that I sold all of my cheap Casios, Timexes and AliExpress shitters and now I only have the PRX.Is it just me or is that based? Because it feels kinda based.
Something that's just occurred to me about tall thin square watches like the tank and reverso is thatyou can wear them relatively low down on your wrist without needing to worry about the case restricting the range of motion of your wrist.
>>18186469you sold your chink watches for another chink watch, I mean I don't mind but yeah
>>18186469If plastic movement components are based then sure I guess.
>>18186469PRX just isn't a very good watch, 40mm especially.
>>18186474Lmao like I'd pay twice the price for a "workhorse" mechanical movement, no I went for the quartz like a sensible poorfag.>>18186473Hence why I said Swiss-branded. You literally can't touch me, I'm just too based.

Most Rolex models are cool but a lot are shit. Explorers bigger than 36 are a sign of no taste. OPs are ok, Subs are cool, and I guess a datejust is fine. The rest of their models are shit, lets be real. Daydates look like a watch you'd wear if you enjoy tea parties with children. Their non Sub big watches look like they were designed by autists with no concept of taste. The daytona? LARP alert. Why not just get a Tag or a speedmaster? The Air King gets mogged by a fucking Hamilton.
>>18186475Not good for wristlets apparently, boom.
>>18186478I quite agree, but I don't understand this.>Daydates look like a watch you'd wear if you enjoy tea parties with children.
>>18186479It is just poorly desinged so it wears almost like 50mm.

>>18186483Well it suits my wrist, so it was exquisitely designed for me
>>18186478Btw,I like bb58 and not Rolex explorer. Rolex logo is shitty, even the simple and boring Tudor shield is better (tudor rose was a lot better),I orefer aluminium bezel,no crownguards...
>>18186492Why be a knight when you can be a king?
>>18186492I like crowns, I don't like democracy, the rose is a socialist symbol.
>>18186494>>18186496Mass appeal can only mean one thing : being the lowest common denominator.Rolex is, this fact is undeniable, the best known maison today. It is the watch every uneducated consumer aspires to. Understanding this is what begins to separate one from the plebe.Rolex, to put it in a way one of its owners would understand, is thinking Olive Garden is fine dining. After all, it is more expensive than Burger King and you may even need to place a reservation beforehand. It is exclusivity in the hands of millions, an elusive presence you will find everywhere. It is everything but exceptionnal, special, it is the status symbol of those who need it. And a man with status does not need a symbol for he has his status and that alone speaks for itself.This simple, logical truth will anger the simple mind. "Cope!" he will scream, believing you are jealous of him who owns one of the most common and mundane pieces one could imagine. He is to be dismissed. "You are bitter!" he will cry, unable to even imagine he may not have been correct in his decision to adhere to the glib norm of the unaware. He is to be dismissed.Would you give the time of day to a supposed cinéphile who believes himself legitimate after watching a C. Nolan film and "getting it"? To the man who thinks himself a connaisseur of the letters after reading Grapes of Wrath (only after skipping the foreword, naturally) ?These are lower still than the ignorant masses simply for believing themselves higher. They are to be ignored.Rolex is Ronald McDonald in a three piece suit. He tells you that you are lucky : the McRib is available today. The common man believes he is getting an exceptional treat. The discerning man may enjoy the sandwich for what it is but will not be fooled into thinking it fine dining.
>>18186494Do you know that Tudor is a royal dinasty?, way better than some invented word and a crown
The streets of San Francisco’s central Tenderloin district have become so overrun with drug dealers and vagrants that the city’s mayor is proposing a curfew on businesses from midnight until the morning.That has not deterred A. Lange & Söhne from opening a beautiful new boutique in the area, but might explain why that boutique is located on the third floor of the Sachs Building at 140 Geary Street, upstairs from a street-level Van Cleef & Arpel showroom.
>>18186498And the watch brand has nothing in common with that royal dinasty so what's you point?
>>18186500I wore my GS to a work thing figuring it would fly under the radar like my imaginary friends living inside my computer said would happen, and LITERALLY the first day I did that, one of my coworkers who had never stood closer than about two arm's lengths and with whom I have never discussed watches or "effay stuff" even ONCE was like "is that a grand seiko" and (this part is going to sound like "and then everyone clapped") he actually said "zaratsu polish", a term I never thought I would hear outside of the internetI wanted to say something about how it was just a 9F shitter but I just mumbled about how I bought it on the internet and then changed the subject but you people fucking lied to me and now I'm paranoid people are going to think I'm either wildly irresponsible with my money (which I am) or that I'm overpaid (which I am not)tl;dr don't listen to /fa/ or /r/watches/ because nobody except me has ever gone outside
>>18186502Cope.Nobody look at your Grand Seiko thinking "woah this must be an expensive watch!". Just ask them how much they think you paid for it, 99% of them will say around $500. Tell them you paid over $5k for it and they'll immediately call you a retard for not getting a Rolex.See, that's the thing with Grand Seiko. People who don't know shit about watches still know the name "Seiko" because everybody has ever been to a mall looking at affordable watches. Just for that simple reason nobody will ever associate Grand Seiko with wealth, class or fine things.MALL SHITTER
