If you like watches, leave. Just leave, now. This board has become the worst possible place to discuss horology. Look at the watch threads. Half the posts are now from a new avatard cunt who feels the need to show dozens of shots of his ugly dinnerplates that no one even looks at, all with the same awkward light and angle. Then there is the deathless (unfortunately) shit-eating beetle who keeps telling everyone when he drinks a cup of coffee. This literal subhuman (I wouldn't call him that if he was, say, a guy with down syndrome, as his wrist depicted in the photos seems to suggest, but the issue is really that everything he posts and the way he behaves do make him – it – less than a human person), this literal subhuman, I was saying, loves to carry out its excretory activity in the public spaces that least look like toilets, such as our threads, in fact. It jumps in, it crouches down, it takes a shit, leaves. "Kofe time" – and there it is, its big turd. And you, who came here to discuss horology from Casio to Patek, are forced to smell its huge noisy farts, to take them all in your face. And it's no use arguing with it, because it will fart more. It's no use to report it, because it has never been banned, not even once, and all evidence points to the obvious fact that it is a janny itself, so it will always get away with its compulsive animal urge to smear social venues with its own poisonous feces. An alternative watch thread (/alt-wt/) was created specifically to keep that coprophagous worm and other avatards away from watch discussion, but it was in vain: among them all, the subhuman shit-eater is the only one who keeps encroaching on that space to take its huge toxic droppings on civilized people's shoes. It doesn't matter how many times you report it, the other jannies will take no action against 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.

>>18244314I'd say this one. It's kinda hard to pull of the look though.
>>18244282>>18244286>>18244296>>18244310Wow, this kind of samefagging posts are pathetic and you must be ashamed for doing this pasta everyday specially being a janny, but anyways no one is listening to you anymore.So here it is a watch that I like to make this post "relevant" whatever you like it or not and with this you don't have any excuse to ban me (again)
>>182442820/10>>182443100/10>>182443170/10>>182443190/10
>>18244319Wait you got banned, Why?Anyway did you find a strap to replace the stock one with?
>>18244319>>>18244282 (OP)>>>18244286>>>18244296 (You)>>>18244310>Wow, this kind of samefagging posts are patheti
>turbochad Lukashenko wears a 35mm yellow gold CalatravaB-but the internet told me anything smaller than 42mm is a girl watch that'll make people point and laugh...
>>18244329Sup cockwatch, did you like your new chastity cage?
A watch can never be too small (unless you can't read it anymore)Watches can easily be too big (lug overhang)Big watches are obnoxious and get in the way of your sleeves/suit
old seiko5 def feels like it could have been smaller like easy 36
>>18244322Yes I was banned multiple times by the citizen janny, that watch is not mine but I really like it and maybe i will buying it with the nato strap or change it with a brown leather also I will post another watch that I like too.Oh and this guy is the same dude as the citizen anon >>18244321
Why do we hate it again?
threadly reminder if you pay > $300 for a watch and you're not 40+yo making more than six figures you have brain damage
>>18244348That's a decent cope if I've ever seen one. Nice. Black Friday sales are starting soon! Be patient.
>>18244345something something swatch slop
>>18244348any other enlightening cope/advice?
>>18244351there's nothing more cringe than some 20yo kid wearing a rolex or omegalike did your daddy buy that for you? or worse did you max your credit card for a pointless trinket when you should be investing in other things in your life lol
>>18244355this just sounds like envy to me
>>18244355Absolute Seethe.Nice.
>>18244357>>18244358>copeDid it hurt realizing you did the opposite of impressing anyone lmao
>>18244342>Yes I was banned multiple timesMaybe stop posting offtopic/trolling/racism/lowquality bait/spammin/ban evading instead of blaming the rules.
>>18244359you're very insecure if the only reason you buy a watch is to impress other people
>>18244367nobody buys $$$$ watch on a whim unless you were a very liquid 40+ like a saidyou had to psyopped by marketers and online forums to lust over these dumb things
>>18244359I don't expect someone who thinks 300$ is a financial irresponsibility to understand, but if you own a Ferrari at 65, nobody cares. Not even the owner. >"Oh, you're a boomer in your mid-late 60s that finally decided to live? Great"You know who cared and how many >"Congratulations"he got when he bought his dreamcar at 27? Me. My family cared, my friends cared and my wife cared.I couldn't do anything with my GTR in my 60s, no Nürburgring, no Autobahn top speed runs, nothing.Same with watches, LITERALLY nobody cares NOT even yourself if you got that watch that you wanted in your 20s during your retirement.But again, I do Not expect someone who thinks 300$ is a lot of money to understand.
>>18244374does the idea of a very liquid 20yrold mindbreak you or something? hows that college debt
>>18244375>doesn't get itif you needed to tell the time you don't need to pay more than $300
>>18244365I got you now citizen janny! And no, you are lying right now about YOUR "rules" because you are so subjective that at all, you even break those rules everyday everytime here so you don't have any objective criteria for ban me now.Anyways, these kind of watches I like too
>>18244378>He thinks watches are about telling the timeExactly, you don't get it. This is a watch thread, now fuck off.
>>18244380>trying to be nonsensical yep I'm arguing with a dumb boomernobody buys $$$$ watch unless they got psyopped. simple as.
>>18244378you're missing the point, if i wanted it purely for telling the time i would just buy a $20 casio, or better yet, look at my phone connected to an atomic clock through the web
>>18244379Meds.I like the one on the right.
>>18244382You got it.If you were buying a watch then that's what you would do.But the golems in this thread aren't buying a watch. They think they're buying some magical personal totem that imbues them with HERITAGE and CLASS because some swiss marketer printed out some mindvomit lol.
>>18244380You're talking to an average American.Don't forget they're poor af.Have you not seen all those videos of americans crying after buying a 400$ console? It's a lot too them. Stop bullying.
>>18244386kinda sounds like you're falling for the marketing too in a bastardised sort of way then, if you're not appreciating them for their looks and mechanical functions, which is what most people in the hobby do, rather than seeing them as a heirloom or an identifier of class
>>18244386Just a third party, the problem here is that, the other guy can not comprehend that someone in his late 20s and or early 30s can both be financially secured and responsible and be able to buy an expensive watch as well. Yes, there are people, successful people, in their early 30s, believe it or not. And the fact that he has to resort to excuses such as "your father got it for you" instead of accepting the other possibility that he might already have covered his life and investment(s) first, and Then got a watch.I personally know a handful of people my age, including myself, you've done just that.I also believe it's the other way around, you're irresponsible if you buy a watch/car you want AFTER you had a family and tons of responsibility. Then you're irresponsible and egoistic beyond belief.
>>18244394The fact that---shows that he might not be financially well off himself**
>>18244329how does he afford this on a 33k salary?
>>18244394>>18244397>has to create a wall of projection and copeslmao I rest my case

I don’t know why Tudor decided to ditch this dial color for their updated Black Bay 36. If they bring this color back, I might buy it.
Rate my new purchase friends
>>18244456It's the picture angle.
>>18244463My VVV might be a bit too large though, I admit
>>18244463Fucking hell you're gross dude. What are you, a Syrian refugee?
>>18244463Still looks too big for you. You look lioe me wearing a 44mm watch.

>>18244485>mentions trannies out of nowhereSounds like the left and the jews have gotten to you and you're trying to overcompensate with comically oversized watches. By the way, trannies didn't exist 10 years ago.

>>18244662I didn't even have to look it up to know it's wrong, but I did for fun and I didn't see one for less than $22kSometimes you can find a daydate without a bracelet for $10-15k or so depending on the condition, but you're not getting a gold daydate on a gold bracelet for less than $20k.

>>18244722>you can actually book a kimono date with a hooker? hows that work?Yes, you can.Different escort services offer different experiences. Cosplay-centric escorts are quite popular in Japan. Full-Girlfriend-Experience plus cosplay appears to be what our Roach went for.
>>18244727One watch that I can't get out of my head, is this one.Ulysse Nardin GMT "Grande Data" Ref.223-88-7. I can't find any Lug to Lug info though. Looks like it is around 50.

Watches are assembled on site but movements come from Swatch Group's Swiss-based manufacturer ETA; 80 percent of Longines' output is mechanical and 20 percent, quartz. Dials come from factories in the Swiss towns of.La Chaux-de-Fonds.and Grenchen, cases are polished in Portugal and Thailand and bracelets are made in China."
>>18244765>but that braceletThrow it in the bin and get yourself whatever bracelet/strap you like. Problem solved.
>>18244762>>18244345>40 hours power reserve
>>18244750Aren't they all discontinued? I don't believe rolex currently has a red dial watch in production.
>>18244773Wasn't referring to red dial DD's, but a specific 36mm everose model that they got rid off a few years ago. The cherry dial DD has only ever been in white gold but almost always found on a burgundy leather strap; finding it on the prez bracelet is rare.

>>18244778this PR meme only became a thing after everyone was forced to stay home and sit on their fat congealing asses and found that their watches all stopped because the most they did is maybe walk up and down the stairs in their house twice a daywas never even a consideration beforejust don't be fat and move more and you can make do with a pr of 12 hrs even
>>18244767besides this "swiss" bullfuckery swatch does i'm put off by long jeans because for the better part o the past 15yrs their marketing was supposedly full on in india of all places until someone came to their senses and started unfuckingup the brandi do not want a watch for pajeets

Anons, don't get sick.I wanted to be away doing normie shit but here I am hanging out with you tards watching time pass by slowly.
At 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.

>>18244707>>18244703Based Whoretadello-sama
>>18244873you are larping as ratinganon, how embarrassing
I know I probably shouldn't care that much but how much "made in japan" is grand seiko actually? Do we have any actual numbers or sources?Seeing as how "swiss made" doesn't mean much anymore (if it ever did) so I want to know if "made in japan" has any weight to it.
>>18244895You should worry about aesthetics first.Grand Seiko has never made a good looking watch. Into the trash it goes.
>>18244896Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man.
>>18244896they make a few beautiful watches but they all retail for 100k
>>18244895They're one of the few companies that invite journos into their factories so that's reassuring, they're so big and even make cases for other brands, my uninformed opinion is that the vast majority of it really is in houseEven their bracelets suck which means they make them themselveshttps://monochrome-watches.com/a-week-in-japan-with-grand-seiko-reveals-secrets-of-the-brands-unique-craftsmanship/
>>18244895All of it. Some Seiko is made in China and Malasya but GS is all Japan. They make everything, hairsprings, crystals (both the 'glass' and quartz), batteries, diamond paste for Zaratsu polishing, even the trees that they use for wood for the anglage polishing grow there.
>>18244903>>18244904That's pretty cool yes. But like you said, they have so much money, it makes sense. If they can't, nobody can.Reassuring to know that buying a GS directly supports the Japanese economy
>>18244902The opposite for me. The only good looking GS are the most affordable and basic ones. No bullshit Springdrive, no shit-tier bracelets, no cringe textured dials.I refuse to buy one though. I couldn't live with myself knowing I own a Grand Soikope.
>>18244895>made in Japan AIs there a Japan B? Where's that one?
>>18244895>3 hander>47 jewelsIsn't that a bit of an overkill?
>>18244913Japana is how it's spelling in japanese
NEW HOOKER WITH THE ROACH
>>18244904And the oils. They make their own rather than purchase the shit every single swiss/euro brand uses.Also they invented and own luminova. The swiss NEEDED it so tritec was set up as a joint venture so that the swiss could use it isn't of tritium and still claim "swiss made". This was back when they paid more lipservice to the designation.
>>18244914Seiko historically has kind of had a thing for stuffing more jewels into movements. There's an older kind of vintage model they did, I don't remember the name, but it had jewels under the date wheel just to, I guess, make the date wheel movement that much smoother? It's as if they consciously try to pad their jewel count because, obviously, a movement with more jewels must be better, right?
>>18244916Isn't it Nihon?
>>18244921This meme hits me on a new level these days because I've been in training classes for work for the last few weeks and the class next to mine is a class for new managers and this is basically what we hear all day through the wall while we're trying to learn how to do real work.
>>18244930>There's an older kind of vintage model they did, I don't remember the name, but it had jewels under the date wheel just to, I guess, make the date wheel movement that much smoother?Yeah, i told you that, the Weekdater, and several others too. picrel.>It's as if they consciously try to pad their jewel count because, obviously, a movement with more jewels must be better, right?Ever heard of jewel wars?
>>18244936the one with hamas?
>>18244936The 6218 has 11 extra jewels.>>18244937No. Jewels sounded fancy, so watch brands started upping their number, mostly by just adding them without actual function.
>>18244941Here's an Orient with 100 jewels.
>>18244943Allegedly to prevent 'rotor scrape'
Some used it functionally, like this Ricoh Dynamic Auto with its jeweled rotor ball bearing.
>>18244941>>18244943I was floored when I looked into it a little bit and saw this. Waltham pulls this shit with putting a shitload of jewels around the periphery of the rotor that don't even touch anything.
>>18244947Seiko legit tried to ease the motion of the date and day wheels, i can't find what the problem was called now (date something), but others were just sprinkling them all over the movement.
>>18244914it doesn't need to be 12mm thick either but here we are.
>>18244950>but others were just sprinkling them all over the movement.Yeah, eventually the US government had to get involved and say that you could only count jewels that actually served a purpose. So they tried this silly idea that it keeps the rotor from dragging on the mainplate.
On jewels, does anyone use anything besides "synthetic sapphire/rubies"? They all seem to use those reddish, purplish jewels. Presumably back in the day pocket watches used natural jewels found in the ground rather than however this synthetic stuff is made?
>>18244966>They all seem to use those reddish, purplish jewels.GS Kodo Daybreak has light blue ones. They probably make their own jewels as well so they can have them in any color they want. I think i remember seeing clear jewels as well, can't remember where though.
>>18244282I don't like the look of most watches but some dress watches look nice. The problem I have is that they're too big. I think smaller watches look better in general, but the issue is my wrists are too scrawny. Aesthetically-speaking, should I wear a women's watch? Are there any affordable, small, men's dress watches that look good? Honestly I think it's a conspiracy. To only make a few decent looking designs, which remain in demand. Should I even get a watch?
>>18244966>On jewels, does anyone use anything besides "synthetic sapphire/rubies"?It's all corundum, you can dope them to be basically any color you want. Red is simply traditional.
>>18244762I don't like any watch that has numbers around the outside.

>>18244969Sizes have been silly xboxhuge for the past 20 years. Immediately after the chink market softened and basically died did the makers start reverting to more proportionate sizes.The industry is in the midst of this shift, though there's no signs it'll go back to say the pre 90's sizes for mens "dress" watches much less the 50s etc.Best you can do besides vintage is look at what is available below 40mm.If your wrist can pull off mat least a 38mm then there's a few modern options. If it can't, there's always the 36mm datejust; just swap to a leather strap.Wrist size?
>>18244969>Are there any affordable, small, men's dress watches that look good?Yes, many. Vintage especially.

Thoughts on this seiko? Loving this so much and the nato is goated
>>18244992I'm digging the dial texture.
>>18244979Sorry, you said "affordable". Scratch the DJ then.I think Orient has a 38mm version of one if their "dress" models now. Used to be a silly 41. Vintage mens watches litter the net. Might be shit accuracy and condition so there's the $$$ concern if you go down that route getting things workable. And the whole water resistance thing we take for granted in modern shit.
>>18244314basic g-shock/casio worldtime/citizen ana-digi temp if you're broke. breitling aerospace if not.
>>18244988The smaller, womens cocktail time would work for a smaller wrist especially when swapped to a strap.
>>18245002That too.
>>18244966Lange uses a single diamond in some of their more expensive models.
>>18244911This brings to mind a recent occasion when I donned my Grand Seiko for a professional gathering, anticipating it would remain inconspicuous, much like my imaginary acquaintances residing within my computer assured me it would. Ironically, on that very first day, a colleague—someone with whom I had never been closer than two arm's lengths and with whom discussions of horology or "fashionable matters" had never graced our conversations—remarked, “Is that a Grand Seiko?” Remarkably, he even referenced "Zaratsu polish," a phrase I had assumed was exclusive to online discourse.I felt compelled to clarify that it was merely a 9F model, but instead, I mumbled about acquiring it online before deftly shifting the topic. Meanwhile, you all have thoroughly deceived me, leaving me anxious that others may perceive me as either extravagantly reckless with my finances (which I indeed am) or, conversely, as unreasonably well-compensated (which I am not).In summary, disregard the advice from /fa/ or /r/watches/, for it seems that I alone have ever ventured beyond the confines of my home.
>>18245029Based CW Appreciator.Any complaints?
>>18245015Can you stop thinking about this guy for just a day? U in love or sumthin'?
>>18245045I am honestly concerned that if he doesn't get enough (You)s he will genuinely kill himself. A little shitposting is the least I can do.Plus, all the watch talk is on the alt thread anyway.
What watch should I buy if I want to impress a Chinese girl?
>>18245071Casio a168
I got skinny auschwitz wrists, what would be a good watch with a textured dial?
>>18245021Ok, I'm hard now.

>>18245115is this a youtuber watch? it feels like one for some reason
>>18245115I like the Preventor9 a bit more, but this one seems to have a few more modern features.
>>18245126How could you possibly know that without knowing who designed it?
>>18245128it looks exactly like some of other youtube watches lol
>>18245115>>18245128>>18245129so it is TGV! see? it looks the exact same
>>18245115>kerning on that 11Amazing
>>18245134>>18245115Wunderbar
>>18245137nice, looks a lot better now
>>18245130It's kind of sad what a disservice he knowingly does to himself by basing absolutely every watch he's ever worked on on the rolex explorer in some way. Yeah, explorer is a great watch, but there are plenty of other great watches to make copes of. Diversify, son.
>>18245137Unironically amazing.
>>18244835I tested that one, and it looks nice. there was also a big price hike. I also like this.
>>18245079vintage is always the answer for batch wrists like us anon. linen dials were very popular back in the day, so that's your texture for you.
>>18245075she won't like that
>>18245172I got one for my fiance to try and she almost never takes it off. People compliment her on it and her young cousins like to press the light button. If she has to try on a different watch she acts like Jeff Goldblum in Kaos when he has to take off his casio to try on the shitter his son got him.
I wore my Pagani Design 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 Pagani" and (this part is going to sound like "and then everyone clapped") he actually said "mens watch top brand luxury waterproof ultra thin date clock male steel strap casual quartz watch men sports wrist watch reloj hombre", a term I never thought I would hear outside of the internet.I wanted to say something about how it was just a NH 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 responsible with my money (which I am) or that I'm underpaid (which I am not).tl;dr don't listen to /fa/ or /r/watches/ because nobody except me has ever gone outside.
Currently on ebay
Thoughts?
>>182452353k lolim a seikofag but this is way too much
>>18245235if youre gonna spend more than $500 on a watch, you might as well go all the way and buy a rolex.
Holy fuck what the hell happened to these threads? They used to be fun but now it's just a bunch of fags trolling each other while the frogniggers and soijak trannies fellate each other over which post got more(You)s.
>>18245286look at the "what are you wearing today" threads to see who is posting here now.
>>18245115>>18245137It's like that hamilton but not shitty.>hanhartI was wondering why in the Jurassic Park films they gave the characters whatever watch choices they did. Different from films today including the latest JP dogshit films. Everything today is a chance to shill some bullshit.Ian Malcolm wore a vintage hanhart. The modern versions of these chronos are fat pieces of shit.Anyone know who makes Hanhart? Are they secretly chink like Laco/Stowa and the non Ickler house brands?
>>18244286[cont] Lastly but not least, you have that Turkish cockroach who can't refrain from posting his dirty-looking body and his tacky overpriced mall shitters that he was memed into buying by 4chan anonymous pranksters. The awareness that he was bullied in the most brutal and complete way for being a retard makes him rage uncontrollably, to the point where he starts flooding the threads with utter nonsense and boatloads of copypastas that he keeps in the notes of his phone for some reason. They also do a lot of samefagging, all of them and all the time, in the desperate attempt to bring attention to their laughable shitters and get a shred of validation, since they're no longer able to even convince themselves that what they got is worth the thousands of bucks they threw in the trash bin. They constantly break all of the following rules: a) spamming/flooding; b) intentionally evading spam/post filters; c) this post appears to be an automated spambot; d) avatar or signature use; e) this post is off-topic; f) trolling outside of /b/; g) this post is extremely low quality. But they never get banned. Only seldom does the Turkroach, since he's probably too much of a shitbrain scumbag even for such lifeless and useless jannies. But then he evades the ban and starts again. This board is doomed. Watch threads in particular are a wasteland and an expanse of shit. Let these curious insects throw excrements at each other until they die. Go away, even reddit is better than this.
>>18245235That's really 3K?Damn, wouldn't be my first choice.

New Seiko Speedtimer automatic, thoughts?Directly competing with luxury models here.If only the dial said "SE-X" instead of "Seiko X", it could bring this line in a new dimension.
>>18245378or maybe SこX, something stylized.
>>18245378>>18245235Are the pushers on seiko chronos abnormally long? I recall that they're ridiculous on the grand seiko chronos.
