>>18235420Lmaoing @ your delusions lmfao.
>>18235402>>18235395>>18235394We've seen your watch at least 1000 times but, I took the time to think about it in a more objective manner and my conclusion is that; people don't actually realise what they're seeing here.It is an anomaly in the watch world. I won't say that it is the best value for money that you can get, because sadly this term has also been dragged through the ground and it has lost its meaning, and yet if you think about it, the fact that you can get this watch below 2000$ does not make sense.First of all, you get the, possibly, most accurate autonomous watch on the planet, no GPS gimmicks, no radio controll no internet whatever, it's just you, in the woods, knowing the atomic time without big tech and or the government being able to track you. On top of that, you literally have a feature that is usually reserved for much, Much more expensive watches- the perpetual calendar.Technicalities and specs aside, what do you get on the finishing part? It is as good as a grand seiko in terms of Hands and Marker finishing- Spotless, Sharp and no impurities or rough edges to be found. But what does GS-Level mean? Well it literally means that your Markers and Hands do have, on a macro level, better finished hands than 5 Digit Swiss Watches. It doesn't matter if this fact makes you angry or triggered or in doubt, but it is a Fact. The dial itself, the way they did the perception of depth, shouldn't work but it does and youc an even see the sunburst effect too.Okay so what about exclusivity? Well what defines exclusivity?>Low productionCheck>Locked behind the country of originCheck>Rare limited edition on top of said rarity to begin withCheckSo what about the case?Well it is not zaratsu but it still shouldn't be as good as it is. It is almost distortion free.But is it all perfect? I don't think so, no. It is too thick, the movement is ugly and the bracelet is below the standards that the dial and tech have set. But again,it's 2000$
You won't waste my time, subhuman.

>>18235468At some point we have to choose between a boring thread or a thread with avatarfags.We have to accept that it's not the same and that it is more engaging, interesting and more inspiring having people in our community who we can follow in their watch journey.How hype would it be if Finncel popped up with a new watch? Think about it.OD getting that JLC reverso out of nowhere??? How is this NOT hype af?Whoretadello aka /wt/? Every time he posts you don't know if he got a new watch or where he even is right now.HamiltonChad? Bro... His long distance shots are out of this world.Mort? He has every watch we could ever want and more.And this is just scratching the surface.The CatMoserChad-CMC for short. The cockwatch faggot too. The Germoid who might just be Bitteranon(???).It's just very entertaining. It gives a certain one of a kind-character and feel and makes this thread extremely unique.And we get to talk about watches directly THROUGH them, their objective experiences and analyse them in depth.I love our All-stars and I hope they're doing well.

Hi all, I was gifted a rolex submariner from my father a week before I graduated with my engineering degree. He previously wore it for a few years then stopped after a while. I eventually said to him I want to wear it just for the day of graduation because it symbolized how far I've come but how far I still stand to go. He did not go to college and grew his business from nothing, he was previously a poor farmer.When he gave it to me he told me to get it fitted for the day and to keep it. I told him I only plan to wear it for very special events. He said no, wear it whenever, even at work. It says you don't need the job and you're there to succeed.Since then, I have gone on to wear it when I'm not dressed in my college outfits (sweats) and I absolutely love it.Now I have worn it in a professional setting during my research and gotten asked if it was real. I am about to go into my first job in an engineering leadership development program where I work at an engineers level but also shadow directors and program managers to learn how to lead.Should I wear the watch at work? I am driven to succeed but I don't want any bad perceptions holding me back.
>>18235507>Which country is safer to wear your rolexes in?Definitely Japan.Athens and Thessaloniki are full of gypsies, albanians, bulgarians and muzzies in general. You'll get robbed within days.
>>18235508>see a watch>immediately think of mens assholeAnon I think you might have the gay virus.
>>18235507>Which country is safer to wear your rolexes in?Japan has a very low rate of street crime. (White-collar crime and corruption, on the other hand, is fucking rampant)It's a pretty big country and Whoretadello should be easy to avoid. I presume you and your wife aren't interested in touring the nastiest brothels in the country. And if you catch a whiff of Mediterranean body odor, just walk in the opposite direction.
>>18235512Wear whatever you like whenever you like. 99% of people literally don't give a rat's ass about watches.Even if someone does notice and you say>Yeah, it was a gift from my dadOK, and? Your managers and others up the org chart will be more likely to promote you, all things being equal, because it suggests you're already somewhat wealthy. (No one likes promoting a poorfag, no matter how good he is at his job.)
>>18235515Decent kek.
manual > automatic3Hz > 4Hzleather strap > bracelet2 hands > 3 handsno date > date at 3 > a pile of shit > date at 6
>>18235524Can you elaborate on why you believe these things? I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wonder what your reasoning is.
>>18235532>manual > automaticI find the interaction with the watch more pleasing. Winding your watch every morning is like a nice little ritual.>3Hz > 4HzThe ticking sound of 3Hz is more pleasing to the ear.>leather strap > braceletLeather straps are more elegant.>2 hands > 3 handsNo second hands = cleaner dialI like small seconds though.>no date > date at 3 > a pile of shit > date at 6No date = cleaner dial.
>>18235524>manual > automaticConditional. Manuals are generally thinner and simpler.If the automatic has a long enough power reserve (say, at least four days) then you can safely put it down to wear something else for a couple days.Automatics with short power reserves are worthless, though.>3Hz > 4HzToo much of that depends on the design of the movement itself to be able to say whether one is better>leather strap > braceletDepends very much on the watch>2 hands > 3 handsDepends very much on the watch>no date > date at 3 > a pile of shit > date at 6No dates are best, but if you have to pick, a date at 6 preserves dial symmetry best.
>>18235510>Enjoy your nog-infested American shithole, you obese gayfaggot!No, you.
>>18235538>a date at 6 preserves dial symmetry best.Why do people always say this? It's just wrong (pic related). If anything, a date window at 3 preserves dial symmetry because of the crown placement.Also dial symmetry is overrated. Good proportions are way more important. You can have perfect proportions and asymmetry.
>>18235439i own this watch--i bought it last year. i have a 6.25" wrist. fits fineits not an expedition, so it doesnt have a loud tick. the strap is a dogshit/puke color strap (not like in the picture)
Let me guess, you need less?
>>18235552Yes, I need a Rolex.
>>18235552Damn that seiko really soothes my autism, nice.
What oil should I get for a hydro mod?I want to get Novec 649, but I can't find it for less than like 70 euros shipped. I only need 10ml but people are selling it by the litre at minimum.
>>18235439I bought the silver case one yesterday after the anons replied Did my original post inspire you to get it
Which one?
>>18235575Fucking hell, learn how to use Photoshop
>>18235575Get both. One for dressy situations, one for casual situations.I own a Bathyscaphe and I love it. It's very comfortable, and its power reserve basically means it never winds down. The stock sailcloth strap is dogshit, though.
>>18235552>NATO STRAPS!
>>18235388alright, posting muh shitter
>>18235578>BathyscaphPOST IT SO THIS THREAD AT LEAST WILL HAVE ONE GOOD WATCH IN IT PLEASE
>>18235423I consider the Seiko SACM line to be the real anomaly. they're like what, 300$, with the formerly top of the line superaccurate GS quartz and very nice looking dials and styling. so much better value than stuff Seiko releases at that price nowadays
>>18235590>Seiko SCAM
>>18235587Fine.
>>18235590Thats a pretty watch, I'd wear something like that.
>>18235532not that anon, but I agree on most points desu, aside from 3 Hz because I don't care about that>manual > automaticmanual watches are thinner, more fun to fiddle around with and will never surprise you by stopping at random because you didn't wear them enough - when you wind it, you know it's fully wound>leather strap > braceletleather looks more elegant, is lighter and usually more comfy. unlike bracelets, they all work fine unless they're total bargain bin tier.>2 hands > 3 hands3 hands makes sense with near perfect accuracy, otherwise 2 hands is more aesthetic>no date > date at 3 > a pile of shit > date at 6date looks clunky and setting it is annoying unless it's a perpetual calendar or something. designers often slap dates in there for market appeal even when it ruins the look of the watch. and how many times in a day do you have to check the date anyway? just pull out your phone
>>18235501Thanks. It probably won't be a few more weeks until I can post it though, I'm gonna just wait until my birthday to make it feel more "special".>>18235546That's what a lot of the Amazon reviews said. No worries, already found a black NATO strap for it. Was a little tricky since my wrist is small but yeah. The stock one looks ugly even in generic photos.>>18235568I posted yesterday about wanting an A-11 replica, but I didn't really discover this watch until early today. This Timex is cheaper ($100 vs. $200), solar, and it's not using acrylic like the Praesidus ones. I think it kinda looks like a modern version of those old WW2 watches.Cool stuff though.
>>18235545The 12 index is usually different from the 6 index. Also the branding above the pinion and any text or lack of text below the pinion is usually different. Neither way is really any more symmetrical than the other.
>>18235596Absolutely based dude.I'm between Zenisu and Blancpain as my next watch. Let's see how that goes. Love the fact that both are at 38mm
>>18235599>3 hands makes sense with near perfect accuracy, otherwise 2 hands is more aestheticI actually do like a sub-second for most watches. Only something like a Tank Louis Cartier really needs to be two-hander only.>how many times in a day do you have to check the date anyway? just pull out your phonePretty regularly, actually. And it's more discreet than pulling out your phone which some people find irritating. (Like, put your fucking phone away, you're talking to me right now.) People like date complications. You say "market appeal" like it's a bad thing.
>>18235607I thought you were done buying watches. Your Moser wasn't your "exit" watch?
>>18235610What moser? Either the fifty fathoms or a zenith defy
>>18235596Underwhelming.
>>18235615Pro-tip: don't spell out watch names in Weeblish. Just write "Zenith." People will mistake you for a cockroach and try to step on you.
>>18235609>>18235599>>18235538>>18235537>>18235524We're kind of talking about two different things. Dress watches vs daily wearers.A dress watch, obviously, should be small, thin, discreet, and classy. A daily wearer can be a little bigger and tougher.I know this is going to offend Bittercel because someone has posted one in the last year, but a perfect example of roughly the same watch for daily vs dress wear is the Cartier Tank Louis vs Tank Francaise.The Tank Louis is basically the ultimate dress watch. But toughen it up a little, give it an automatic movement, date, bracelet, and you've got a brilliant daily watch. (IDC about lume, if you can afford a Cartier, you can afford an artificial light source. 30m WR is fine. You're not taking the thing on a hunting trip. You can safely wash your hands and wear it when it's raining.)
>>18235615>Either the fifty fathoms or a zenith defyBlancpain all day.Zeniths are, unfortunately, shit in real life. They look good on paper, but their QC is amateurish.
>>18235607>LVMH>SwatchDon't be a retard and buy a Rolex.Unless you're Roachadello of course. In that case, just burn your money on some irrelevant shitter.
are there any significant quality differences between rolex and tudor, Or is it mainly brand recognition?Anyone got any experience with both?We're talking about a very big price difference and was wondering if it's justified.
>>18235603ah just a coincidence thenwell either way I hope we both enjoy our watches my birthday is also very soon kek
>>18235651I'm relatively new to watches, forgot to say. Been a bit longer than a year.
>>18235568Wait you actually got the silver one?Great choice man. Yeah I liked the markers a lot better. Hope it's everything you wished for.Post it once you get it.

>>18235656If you crave (you)'s so much, you should try participating in the conversations. You latvian piece of shit
>>18235651no it's not. just buy a casio.
>>18235664Which models are made 100% in Japan?
>>18235651>>18235653Rolexes are thinner, better proportioned and a lot more elegant than Tudors. Rolex is also insanely good at QC and regulating their movements. And yes, you're also paying for brand recognition obviously.Tudor is alright though.

>>18235651Modern rolex looks more refined, Tudor isn't supposed to be on par when it comes to that, it wouldn't be good for the brand positioning. Older Tudors used Rolex parts for most of it, not the movements. The quality is the same.
I bought a Rolex and now I’ve been lurking /fa/. God save me
>>18235688are you bored of it yet?
>>18235683Tudor movements can hold their own. They're extremely accurate from my experience. And they've recently gone in-house if I'm not mistaken. The MT5602-1U runs at +1 from personal experience.
>>18235689The anonposter character lore and fandom has sucked me in. Casio fags expected. Super fringe taste in most of the watches posted in these threads the past couple days, although I will say I fancy some of them.
>>18235688This is a very unpopular opinion here, but a watch is a FASHION ACCESSORY that only makes sense in an outfit. Every wristshot should show at least your shoes, trousers and jacket. Every collection should be put perspective with your wardrobe.Watchfags (who are terrible people) usually dress like slobs, manchildren or douchebags. Don't spend 10k on a watch if your wardrobe isn't complete.>Verification not required.

>>18235737>if this happens then I have proof and demand my own movement back that I paid for.you can'tit's what you agree to if you get your tudor serviced from the official service centerof course you could chance it with an indie watchmaker, provided they can actually get the parts lol(none of them can get parts for "in-house" tudors btw)basically you have no choice
>>18235651No one ever asks a Rolex owner if they were too poor to afford a Tudor.
>>18235742So it's like some unwritten terms that I "automatically" agree upon when I bring it thete for servicing? Can I opt out or can I demand to read said conditions beforehand?Btw thank you for redpilling me on this. I will do some research.It's not like I haven't heard it before, but it's always good to refresh some memory.
>>18235741RF boomers talk about it and some have confirmed it at their local service centers. I think some have shared emails between them and Tudor. They only do this with their supposedly in-house calibers, but they still service the older ETA based ones, ironically enough. >>18235742Independents can easily repair the ETA Tudors though, obviously.
Why did this chart stop being posted? It was on every thread.

Pick one.
>>18235740You WILL wage slave for the gen z boss
>>18235745it's their way or the highwaythe wagie you submit your watch to won't know shit so don't even try to karen them into some gotcha situationperuse the rolexforums and see some tudor owners complaining about thisit's off putting, but tag and other low level mass brands have done this for years because servicing the gorillion 2824's that come their way is in now way worth their time look on yt how long it takes for someone to service even a basic movementtakes the same amount of time to service a shitty watch as it does an expensive oneeasier to do it en masse and recyclei first heard of some brands doing this more than a decade ago, about tag's aquaracers tag and tudor are partners in this new manufacture that makes their "in-house" calibersis it still in-house if they share the factory with tag and other brands?one option is significantly more "luxurious" than the other in light of this practice imolike i said, your choice
>>18235752Left one has more soul, right one is cleaner and has more class. Both are very cheap watches so if you really can't decide you can get both.
>>18235750If you're happy with someone else's horological sloppy seconds, or, god forbid, a pajeet's pooey movement in your watch, then suit yourself.Rolex don't do this, JLC, VC, PP, AP neither.Not even shitmega and grand seiko do this.You should stick to casio watches, after all there's no practical difference at the end of the day, right?
>>182357521016 by a mile.
Okat /wt/, I like this carbon Victorinox, especially the colour and texture of the carbon fiber. I neither like nor dislike the square pattern under the dial, and im not a fan of the stripes in the strap. Is there some other similar watch? (Also idc about some swiss knife)
>>18235759I'm sorry but rolex does it too.with the way Rolex ALREADY replaces dials, hands and bezels by default so your watch stays "up to date to their standards of quality" and with consistant rumors of these parts coincidentally appearing on the black market afterward, I would absolutely believe you if you told me they poached movements as well.
>>18235762>I would absolutely believeanother way of saying, "I'm not interested in hearing or seeing any evidence that disagrees with my position. I'll call it fake and call you an NPC."
>>18235762>with the way Rolex ALREADY replaces dials, hands and bezelsThe difference being that rolex replaces those parts with NEW parts, not used parts from some other client's watch.

>have wanted a beige f-91w since like 2021>every few months i check online for them>would always find the pink, blue, and orange ones for cheap>saw a beige one exactly once, it was like $150 USD and somewhere in europe>starting to realize i'll never find one now>had my chance and missed itI'm feeling a little conflicted. I think it would've been retarded to spend that much on a $15 watch, but it was my only chance and I didn't realize it. What do you guys think?
>>18235748Only just noticed that Franck "I rob gold trucks, use cheap russian movements in my "swiss" watches and snort so much coke i'm fired from my own namesake watchbrand and died forgotten in a ditch and was probably raped by Elton John in the 80's" Muller is in the high-end luxury segment.lollmaoShitty chart.
>>18235788>Buckley dialInteresting for their (comparative) rarity but, even by DJ/DD standards, they look old-mannish.
Stuck in Mexico. Need to escape this shithole border city.
>>18235800Thank you for supporting the japanese economy.I hope you can escape Mexico.
How can Zenith release something like that and still be taken seriously?
>>18235803In all honesty, I tend to support more the swiss economy, but I know what you mean, my friend. G-Shock are fucking awesome.Another of mine.
>>18235792Buy a pink one and gaslight yourself into thinking it's beige. Or paint it cream.

How does one sustain an Ultra Luxury Lifestyle? Is it more about ownership or about experiences?
>>18235826The cost of ultra luxury lifestyle is the price of this watch.
>>18235814Makes sense.Explains the travesty in pic related>hello fellow kids!>am I cool yet? hyuck hyuck>how'd you like my guilloche- I mean, cheaply pressed pattern dial for nearly 40 grand?>ain't I young and luxurious?>>18235819If you like it buy it, gramps. Don't let /wt/ stop you.You know you can change the strap to whatever you want, right? Get your grandkid to help you; might be tricky with those arthritic claws.
am I the only one who unironically enjoys celtadello's postings?
>>18235835>Explains the travesty in pic related
>>18235826It's both. Luxury means being able to have your cake and eat it too. You don't have to sacrifice luxury travel in order to be able purchase expensive junk nor must you forgo the costly useless trinkets in order to be able to afford to go on a luxurious holiday.Having to sacrifice, to compromise is by definition not luxurious.How you sustain it is your own business.
>so then he said he bought a PRX
>>18235830Wait, how much is this watch? It's a citizen
>>18235512Nobody cares
>>18235826>How does one sustain an Ultra Luxury Lifestyle? Is it more about ownership or about experiences?Obviously, you have to be wealthy, first and foremost. The exact dollar amount you need is unclear since, as John Paul Getty said, paraphrasing, "If you can actually count your money, you're not really rich."But after that, it's all pursuit of experience, not about owning things. The things you own, you may be interested in, but in and of themselves, have no real meaning.i.e. you bought a Ferrari because you like Ferraris, not because owning a Ferrari is a requirement to be rich.Conversely, if you're buying stuff to appear rich, flashy watches, clothes with huge brand names on them, you're sending the signal that you're poor, maybe in terms of money, but definitely in terms of class. You're just copying what you think the rich people are doing in an attempt to "fake it until you make it".
>>18235519>someone does notice and you say>>Yeah, it was a gift from my dadDo this if you want everybody to know you are a loserIf you are a boss (which you arent) you will just people you bought it because you wanted to

just chiming in to say i'm disappointed in all of youthe bathy and the explorer were the only good watches in this thread.
>>18236016i was gonna post my watch earlier but I dropped it in the toilet this morning by accident. i'll post it after it gets back from servicing.
>>18235918hey man, just chiming in here to say you sound like a total and absolute virgin with this take. Rolex is a middle manager brand, they are only cool if they are gifted to you from your father, or grandfather, period. >>18235927Again, an ironic comment when you sound like a total and unabashed virgin yourself.
Hope you all had a great day. I had fun catching up with the thread.See you tomorrow and goodnight.
I think it's time to move beyond my venerable F-91w. This thing has survived everything, most notably being used as a shower clock for over a year. Had to spend like an hour just cleaning off the caked up soap and hard water residue. What now? Do I slowly work my way up or should I dump a lot of money on something nice?
>>18236026First of all you stop shaving your arms you fucking poofter.
>>18236032I will, yeah. I kinda went overboard with it. My reasoning was that a small wrist with a shit ton of hair looks weird. Next time I'll just trim it a bit, not make it bald.
>>18236040What's your wrist size? I'd guess 16 cm. Also do you like any other Casios?
>>1823604314 cm. I had a DW-5600 for a while and it actually fit on my wrist, although it looked silly.G-shocks are cool but my wrist is just too small. Kinda sucks
>>18236052There are some Baby-Gs that are small enough to fit your wrist.If you decide to get a mechanical watch, do not go beyond 32 mm diameters. The ideal watch for you would be 30 mm.You'll have to dig into the vintage market a lot, because they only make horrid dinnerplates today.
love yall boys
>>18236052Yeah some baby GS are cool anon.Also there are smaller g shocks like the GMD and GMA series.Pic.relayed is 40mm in diameter
>>18236059>>18236076thanks guys, will look and see what i can findi hope im not being too needy but how bad would a 36mm look on my wrist? like would it look a little odd or actually ridiculous?

ryan gosling wearing casio
Got a Timex Weekender partly just to see what the infamous ticking is like, and when it's a quiet evening, the tick on this thing will make you feel downright existential. It's like a miniature version of every old school's wall clock.The watch feels great besides that.
Came in yesterday, wore it to work today. Lighter than I expected. I love the way the bracelet looks and feels. Dial is slightly more matte than it looked online but still vibrant enough. Gonna get the bracelet taken down by one or two links as it’s just a hair too loose. The day/date snapping feels extremely satisfying.
>>18236026>What now? nothing. f91 is end-game.
>>18236377More precisely, it's ending the game as a dirt poor person. LMAO
I'm wearing a 28mm x 34mm watch right now
>>18236117I think 36mm could work. Have a look at "Chaoyada" on aliex, they sell 35mm field watches for $5, you can buy one and see how something that size works for you.
If you had the choice between wearing a Grand Soikope as your only watch or no watch at all until you die, what would you choose?No watch for me, that's for sure.
>>18236117Too big, similar to how a 41mm watch looks on a 16cm wrist (picrel) or a 45mm watch on a 7-inch wrist. Right now, the trend is for big watches, but not oversized ones. For you, a 30-31mm size is ideal. The smallest you should go is 28mm.
>>18236404Let's think about this for a second. What does each option say about the person?>No watchThis person doesn't care about wristwatches. Nothing more, nothing less. If he needs to know the time, he checks his phone or his computer or the microwave or any of the dozens of other clocks that exist in a modern man's daily life. You can't tell anything else about this person from his wrist.>Grand SeikoThis person cares about wristwatches but is devoid of taste, is probably a weeb, and believes he's smarter than everyone else despite actually being quite ignorant; worse still, everyone knows it because this person makes sure of it. He probably enjoys "debating" on the internet and believes it's possible to win by posting more than anyone else.
>>18236117Get a 34mm Rolex. That will fit you perfectly.
>>18236354Looks cool, anon.

>>18236440>Everyone I don't like is the same person.Meds time, schizo.
>>18236436This is correct. If you can't afford that, a 90's 34mm Tudor.
>>18236446This is a 36mm watch on my small wrist. It's between 15 and 16cm, I guess.
>>18236354nice, everybody should have one funky piece
I think I just like watches that go with pretty much everything.No matter what I wear, my watches just fit. Maybe because they're all simple three handers? They never seem out of place. >>18236404It depends, the SLGW004/005 is a very elegant watch and anyone who's been around the hobby for longer than a week knows what it is.There's potential in GS but they're always missing but a factor or two.>>18236026From my experience, you really either should stick to that price point, especially if you're very happy with it, or be patient and get one 4 digit watch and later a 5 digit one so you can appreciate the differences clearly before hitting diminishing returns.3-4 watches are enough. You'll be surprised how fast you can end up with 10+ watches while you only end up wearing 2.
>>18236456by* a factor or two.

>>18236699>double dubsconfirmed
>>18236500Sorry for the late reply.It's nothing extravagant like that. I just went there last year for three weeks, liked it so much I decided to try and live there. I recently got my long-term visa approved and I will try to get a permanent one down the line, can't go into much detail here. I've only spend there a total of 5 months. Maybe I won't like it there in 2 years time and I'll come back to Europe or the West in general.So far, I am beyond pleased with the life there. But I won't be staying in Tokyo.As far as selling goes or the "he liquified everything"-rumor, I mean I just bought pic related, if that was the case [liquifiying everything] I wouldn't spend 5 digits on a watch.At the risk of oversharing for the 100th time, I recently turned 31, been working half my life, this is all just saved up money. I'm not a teenager, most people my age have saved enough fuck you-money to go on life-makeovers like that.That's all there's to it. It's not like I'm the only person who wants to go/move to Japan or something.
>>18236866Kill yourself, filthy roach.
>>18236866Do you recommend this kanji method as opposed to learning it "the textbook jap class old fashioned way"?I'm just following a guide in general on one of the other boards.
