>>18280350>>18280356> I would consider a GS or a Citizen if they didn't have such mediocre bracelets.The problem with this bracelet is that all the links are the same width. The links should be narrower as they get closer to the clasp. This is why GS bracelets look so bad.
imma be honest with you bros, seatbelt natos look very nice, don't get me wrong, but they feel much worse and icky when wet than the cheap regular nylon fabric ones.
>>18280405They look nicer, but that's about it. Regular ones work better and fit better.
>>18280405I don't know what to say anon, I hate nato straps because they make the watch look like cheap crap and make it thicker. Better buy a bracelet or a nice rubber strap
>>18280312There seems to be a trend towards asymmetrical dials, which disgusts me.
>>18280411Some (very few) but some watches look good on nato straps. Field watches, for example. That's about it.
>>18280404They are also fit so poorly to the case that you can see gaps between the lugs and endlinks even in promotional photography.

If you're buying a watch from a certain brand, do you only buy the signature model of the brand? For example, the signature model for Carter is the Tank Louis Cartier. For JLC it's the Reverso Classic in steel.
>>18280472Just buy what you like, retard
>>18280482>Just buy what you likeThis is actually the stupidest advice possible. People don't know what they like and they make stupid decisions.This thread exists to help people avoid wasting their money on ugly-ass shitters that don't fit their wrists.The only people who say "Buy what you like" are the ones constantly forcing themselves to not drown under a tide of buyer's remorse.
>>18280485The point is you go and try out a bunch of watches and you buy whatever makes you feel good rather than chasing whatever everyone else says is good. Like everyone says get a submariner, get a gmt master, get an explorer 2, but you might find you just like wearing datejusts. Everyone says stay away from panerai, but if you try them on and you feel good about wearing them you should probably consider buying one and forget what everyone says about them. Everyone says get a speedmaster but maybe you like wearing navitimers more. You just have to try wearing a lot of watches on a lot of different bracelets and straps to figure out what you like.
>>18280485Exactly.Ultimately, everyone buys what they like, but good advice can help them focus a little more effectively and avoid stupid mistakes.>I want to buy this 47mm Panerai.But you have 6" wrists. If you like the Panerai style, let's see if we can find something that has that style but also fits you.>I want a Submariner, so I'm going to buy this Seiko cope insteadWhy don't you stop for a second a see how long it will take to save up for that Sub? It may not take as long as you think and you'll end up with the watch you actually want.>>18280492Trying on a lot of different watches is common advice here. People who just buy what they like usually do so as an impulse buy and almost immediately regret it. A good example is the guy who was obsessed with the TAG Heuer Monaco a couple threads ago. He loved the watch but we all told him to hold off and try it on first. Lo and behold, he found out it's a shitter and we helped him save a bunch of money.
>>18280472>If you're buying a watch from a certain brand, do you only buy the signature model of the brand?>For example, the signature model for Carter is the Tank Louis Cartier. For JLC it's the Reverso Classic in steel.No, I don't think you have to.A couple months back, a guy posted a gold Tank Francaise. Obviously, bittercel got jealous and tried to tell him he should have bought a Tank LC. This guy clearly didn't know who bittercel was because he tried to explain to him what he liked about the Francaise.I think the closest thing to what you're talking about is experiencing the reference pieces. Like, you don't have to own a Speedmaster Pro but you should at least have some experience with it to understand why it's the reference entry-level luxury chronograph. Then, when someone compares another chrono to the Speedmaster, you have a better idea of what they're talking about.

>>18280516>Oyster Perpetual.too sporty. Do Air Kings have good WR?>>1828051831-38mmThe cheaper the better. No chinkshit tho.
>>18280555Not the Air King, the one that just looks like nothing
>>18280555>Do Air Kings have good WR?Vintage AKs, the 34mm ones, have 100m WR.The new AKs just look like shit (but also have 100m WR).If you want something newer, the Santos de Cartier has 100m WR and is a really versatile watch. On the bracelet, it's a sports watch, on the strap, it's dressy. You can swap between the two with nothing more than a thumbnail. No tools required.
>>18280549Sort of. The idea of solar sounds good, but the reality is that batteries cost like 2 dollars apiece and last for years, while solar cells and their capacitors do wear out and when they go, that's the end of your watch.
>>18280555>>18280558>>18280561What kind of watch is the air-king? I mean what would be its purpose or use case?
>>18280555Air kings have the same 100m water resistance that oyster case watches normally do, but all of the good examples are old enough now that you shouldn't fully trust them to be that tight.
>>18280572Air-King is a line of watches that Rolex sells. They're sort of pilot's watches. Picrel is an example of a vintage version, but they came in a bunch of different dial and bezel configurations.
My humble collection.
>>18280581"Humble" is a good word for it.I guess the one in the upper right (the Pro-Trek?) is kind of cool.
>>18280581You have this box of garbage and dare to demand "no chinkshit"? Fuck you, go die.
>>18280524I don't get that kind of thinking. Sometimes you get a fat bonus at work or inherit some money and you just want to please yourself with a cool watch. Be unreasonable once in a while, it won't hurt you. As long as you're not burning all your money like a nigger you'll be fine.
>>18280581the endgame
>>18280524Several years ago, probably when this shitty thread was still on /g/ay, there was a post that completely changed my thinking on this matter. Funny how anonymous shitposting can, once in a bluemoon, actually resonate for whatever dumb reason.Some anon was talking about their ultra miserly grandfather's philosophy on spending money on frivolities. He was some gorillionaire old pole or kike or whatever but basically>if you're going to spend real money on some unnecessary trifle, like a luxury watch, then you shouldn't buy it until you can afford to buy 20 of it, lose them all, and not feel a thing So in accorance to this ultra-prudence say you wanted a sub for 10 grand you'll have to be able to stomach, financially, a complete wipeout of 200k and not be utterly ruined by it.If you can't afford to just flush 200k down the drain and not become destitute then you should really be using that money for something more pertinent like making more money instead.You don't have to go ultrajewstinct with this though.I've lowered it from 20 to 12 because I'd actually like to be able to enjoy a nice watch before I'm all liverspotted, arthritic and before I inexplicably develop a predilection for tasteless shit like RM and carbon fibre.Food for thought.
>>18280555Go Vintage.
>>18280589You're not wrong.One of my friends is like that. He makes really good money but doesn't like to spend any of it on himself. He dresses like shit. Lives in a shit neighborhood. Drives a shit car. Doesn't go on vacations. He doesn't plan on retiring early. His only pleasure in life is opening up his banking app and seeing seven figures.There's got to be a healthy balance between enjoying your life while you're young enough to enjoy it and saving for the future.
>>18280549There are eco-drives that are still functional at their 20th year. The secret to their longevity is that they were worn daily in that time or at the very least were not stored in a dark drawer for stretches of time which kills the battery.Likely the closer you get to 20 or whatever the less charge the battery will hold. Some at the 18yr mark note that their batteries will only last barely 3 days if left completely out of the light compared with the year or so it could survive in the dark when new.Wear it daily and actually go outside once in a while and solar watches are a neat idea. Citizen used to promote 40years in their publicity. They've since scrubbed that but, under ideal conditions ie. not leaving your shit in the dark, then at leat 20 years is possible.
>>18280589I understand the sentiment and obviously it's a strategy that's going to work, bit taken to that extreme is a little ridiculous isn't it? I don't see back breaking financial ruin coming for a guy with a secure job making $80-100k who already has the house and car and wife in order because he treated himself to a datejust or submariner. Don't go nuts and buy one every year for your birthday, of course, but a few thousand on a watch you're going to wear for 20 to 30 years and gift to the kids later isn't that bad.
>>18280600The problem is i just don't love it. I know the technology is cool and all but it feels so fucking cheap. So i don't wear it at all.

I mentioned ordering this watch a few threads ago and someone asked me to post about it after I received it, so here it is. 36mm chinese made daydate homage with one of the new Peacock Dandong movements, fully wound it runs a few seconds fast per day but just wearing it over the last few days with light activity it's wound down a little to where it's staying pretty much where it is day to day. The day snaps over instantly with the date change, no waiting until 3am for it to fully turn over. I've been enjoying it.One problem is I guess since they're expecting it to be popular with ladies and gay wristlets it doesn't have enough links in the bracelet for me to get a truly comfortable fit the way I like it. It's just barely tighter than I like, one more link would be perfect. SO I asked Sugess if I could get more bracelet links and they said no but if I could find someone to fabricate them they'd reimburse me for that. Which is really weird and they may as well have just told me to eat a dick because I don't know what asshole I'm going to find to make me one bracelet link for a Chinese bracelet.
>>18280664Post wrist

>>18280312I used to think the indices on the current Oyster Perpetual were too large and blocky, and the double indices were doubly stupid.But seeing pics of the Citizen Tsuyosa made me instantly change my mind for some reason; now I think the (double) indices are neat, young and sporty.Strange how seeing a cheap version of something can instantly change your perspective like that.

Maybe you have to see it in person in the right light to get it.
>>18280746
>>18280572>>18280579It's not really a pilot's watch, it's an OP with distinctive bezels and dials. It was named Air King after the RAF during WWII. All in all, a marketing move by Rolex. However, for me, the vintage Air Kings, the vintage OPs and the Explorers are the best looking Rolex watches. I would say that it is, like the OP, an elegant field watch, a watch halfway between a field watch and a dress watch.
>>18280749Oh no it also has mother of pearl dial? It is the gayest thing i have ever seen.
>>18280751>All in all, a marketing move by RolexBecause RAF pilots wore Omegas lul.
>>18280751The old 34mm Rolexes are really undervalued, especially the OP Dates.The 5500 Air-King is best with the old-style pencil hands. Picrel. It's a tiny detail but I think it makes a difference.

Anyone here assemble or service their own watches?Do you consider buying things a hobby?
>>18280786Yes and no. Depends on where you are. You'll see them at Airports and maybe at a '"high class" bar in Ginza somewhere but not in a casual night out. People recognize the watch as>"Ah! That's the brand tgat Shohei Ohtani wears!" and that's mostly it for normies. Others recognize the brand because there are a decent amount of flyers showing the White Birch specifically.
>>18280776No one recognizes your watch. They recognize you because you're a 30 year old foreigner carrying around a plushie hanging around brothels. That's pretty memorable, to be honest.

>>18280787That's right, but because there are certain Rolex watches that I like, not because they are expensive, in fact my favorites are the entry-level models.
>>18280791Hi IWCanon.Which IWC Aquaman 2 edition should I get? The nigger one or the chink one?
>>18280803>my favorites are the entry-level modelscope poorfag
>>18280801>Nobody ever does thatGo back in the archive and check out how often that same blue Moser, black Tudor, and White Bitch Grand Seiko gets posted.
>>18280801I bet I can save us all some time >10 posts later anon steps his argument back to "okay, it's true, but it's good because they're posting watches in the watch thread."
>>18280808you forgot the shitizen
>>18280797>Anyone here assemble or service their own watches?Sort of. I like buying and fixing old table clocks and desk clocks. Watch parts are generally too small and fiddly.

All the anons who hate Rolex are going through a phase, eventually if you like watches and have money you will end up buying a Rolex
>>18280819Nice ching Chong bling blong watch
>>18280803Cut all that "i like submariner as a tool watch" bullshit. Here >>18280318 is the tool watch. It is breathtakingly beautiful, but it is also made out of hardened steel so it's more rugged and reliable than rolex ever was or will be. You want that name on a dial and nothing else. Pathetic. At least the rest here admit they want rolex for that name alone.
I'm white.
>>18280828You better put an arm brace on before you get fucked up.
>>18280822Cope and seethe
>>18280828Then you are, unfortunately, ineligible to become an avatarfag in this general.
>>1828083390% of your watch is Chinese. And Every single time you look at it, you WILL think of China. That's the swatch lifestyle you chose. Your skin is touching Chinese ching chong metal rn.
>>18280842I’m ok with that I like the watch
Are Richemont watches Chinese?
>>18280845Ching chong
>>18280847>Are Richemont watches Chinese?No, just soulless.
>>18280847Depends on the brand

>>18280859Holyyyy COOOOPEAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAHAHHAHA
Well yes san Martin has better finishing than my 8000$ omega but at least it's not chine-FUCKKKKKKK
Why are these threads suddenly full of retards?
>>18280865Endless bitterness and coping of people who're just jealous. that's all.
>>18280865>suddenly
>>18280867Don't forget the guys who bought the wrong watch and got mad when they got reminded of the fact.
>>18280872How does one buy a wrong watch? Were their eyes closed the whole time?
>>18280864This is san((d)nigger) cope I have a Sam martin and it’s a really nice watch for the money but the omega is leagues ahead even if they’re made in the factory a floor above San shitter. I remember I had San shitter make a bunch of custom watches for me and my friends and half of them stopped working a week into ownership
>>18280385>poor>LonginesWhy would a poor have a proper luxury watch though
>>18280879Overpaid. Bought a Franken. Looks like shit. Bought a cope version of a better watch. Bought a watch that doesn't fit their wrists. Bought a Homos. Bought a watch thinking that it would get posters ITT to call them 'based'. Any number of ways to buy the wrong watch.
>>18280879>How does one buy a wrong watch? Oh anon...>buying an obvious cope watch>buying a watch that's too big for (You)>buying a "luxury" watch with a third party movement (why do you think the IWCfag is so angry all the time?)>buying a watch online, feeling disappointed and don't return itetc etc etc
>>18280882Longines is a woman’s watchmaker with two proper mens watches
>>18280889Unironically, iwc was better when they used eta >someone who’s bought 4 IWCs in the past two years
>>18280895>two proper mens watchesWhich ones would those be?
>>18280344I'm surprised g-shock is associated with asians because I only hear them called out in rap.
>>18280900Exact same thing with Panerai.Such is the fate of the Richemont brands.Valfleurier was a mistake.
>>18280629I was going to ask how you like the bronze dive watch, but then I noticed the 9 o'clock marker fell off so I guess it's not going so good.
>>18280912True, though I still do enjoy my pam422
>>18280933kek
>>18280933It was going good for a couple years and then the markers fell off after I came back from Asia
What do you guys think about this?
>>18280936way too big, looks clownesque.
>>18280879If for example you bought a swatchmega because you wanted to larp as glowniger posterboy Bond or because you fell for the dickmoon chrono maymay and you paid a price commensurate with what you thought was the finest of mountainjew craftsmanship only to discover on here that a vast % of your omegay was made for cheapcheap in guangzhou and that the lebokike ceo ripped you off and you are thus filled with rage, shame and no small amount of perverse arousal, then yes you bought the wrong watch and should've lurked more first.If you're like this fag>>18280845however and fully know what you have and paid for and accept it then you didn't buy the wrong watch. You bought a shit watch, but different strokes etc

>>18280825Your fanboying a fucking miyota movement watch that sells for like 800 what are you doing
>>18280912>>18280936I don't rate any PAM made after 2010. They lost something essential to their character when they went to the """in-house""" movements.They put out some cool-looking designs like anon's 422, but it's not the same.But, it is what it is. The brand's had its day in the sun and that day is past. Enjoy the watch for what it is and remember the good times.
>>18280952No, I'm simply relieved that I didn't waste money on a modern chinese omega.
>>18281001Yes it is domedWhile it is prone to get knocked around it’s a pretty sturdy watch despite the abuse I put it through>>18281017The 422 I have came out in 2012 a few years after their Brooklyn bridge debacle so things started to decline slowly since then. Still the 422 has been good to me. Used to have the 914 and that was cool but I wanted the open case back and it was a deal I couldn’t say no to the 422
>>18281049Isn't the crown supposed to be on the other side?What sort of timing are you getting?

My gf ordered me a samsung galaxy 7 watch. What am I in for?
>>18281195>smartwatchesThey will kill sports watches for you.I don't wear my sports watches anymore. I got rid of the divers and chronographs.My collection is now a smartwatch, in my case a Garmin, and dress watches (Cartier, Piaget, etc)
>>18281202How do you feel about the smart watches by actual watch companies, like Tissot and Frederic Constant?
>>18281202This is my shinebox, apparently it was in need of a smartwatch. What are cool apps and features I may like? To my understanding they're just good for tracking sleep, footsteps, and heart rate.
>>18281207I don't know enough about them to say one way or the other, but I imagine they probably fall short in terms of features or value. TAG Heuer's smartwatch was really expensive, if I remember correctly. A smart watch costs a couple hundred bucks and lasts about ten years. That's basically the cost of a strap or a service from a normal watch company.
Should I get a Sinn 556 (shitter) or a Black Bay (shitter)?
>>18281231Which Black Bay (shitter)?
>in my safe place>monitored>pulse and steps tracked>connected>lithium tax paid in full>wireless vax passed
>>18281234Looking at ref M79660-0003 though there are a few I like just keeping an eye out for deals.
>>18281195That's not a watch, it's a watch shaped computer.
>>18281195Actually considering a Pixel watch but none of their dials you can display are goodSamsung has dials that at least look like a real watch
>>18281231Depends on the black bay, unless it’s the heritage go for sinn
>>18280690>Peacock Dandong
>>18281242>M79660-0003That's a very different watch from the Sinn. The Sinn is an almost sterile pilot's watch. That Tudor is borderline dressy. The Tudor is the more technically advanced, more modern movement.You'll also have an easier time getting the Tudor serviced, since ADs are everywhere. Sinn ADs aren't as common.
What should the price range of my first watch be?I'm white with a style like pic related.
>>18281255Yeah, looking for “GADA” watch although I hate that term. Something I could wear with a suit in a pinch but I primarily wear a watch with a leather strap with a suit. Maybe I’ll split the difference and get the Tudor on an oyster bracelet or the Sinn on the fine link
>>18281262The classic Black Bay is perfectly serviceable in the manner you'd wear it. (I'd definitely try out multiple sizes, though. They all wear larger than their case sizes)Different dial colors would also make the watch feel more or less dressy.I think the two-tone with a black dial looks particularly cool, but I know a lot of people don't like two tone.
>>1828126115-80 dollars
>>18281276I make $700k doing backend development, though...I'm thinking $5-10k, a little over 1% of my yearly income is reasonable
>>1828127910k is a good place to start. Something like a Rolex Datejust or Cartier Santos.
>>18281280*around 10k
>>18281252It's a pretty good movement, actually. It's small and 4hz beat rate and apparently can take a variety of complications.
>>18281261depends if you're a homo - Nomosif you're bi - omegaif you're straight - rolex
>>18281255Sinns just have basic etas/sellitas inside he’ll have an easier time servicing that than a Tudor with any competent watchmaker
>>18281261Homos
>>18281242I would go sinn 556
>>18281279No you don't.
How do I communicate to the Rolex AD in no uncertain terms that I'm not going to play their faggot ass games anymore and if they won't sell me a watch I'll just buy one used and they can go fuck themselves?
>>18281342These games are still going on? Just fly to japan and get an explorer or something.
>>18281342Buy buying literally any other watch.
>>18281342walk in with a casioak on wrist
wake me up when rolex announces the foot king line
>>18281430Wranglerstar?
>>18280472I'm somewhat guilty of that, but for me the 'signature' models tend to look the best. I have a few Speedies, I have a JLC Reverso in steel, and I love the look of the Breitling Navitimer, the Rolex Sub and Day-Date, and so forth. I wouldn't say no to a Patek Calatrava, or a Lange 1, etc...they're all great watches. But I don't ONLY buy the signature model...the ones I've bought happen to be the best in terms of aesthetic and design.>>18280549No...you change the battery less, lower maintenance cost than a mechanical, and generally better timekeeping. >>18280581Is that a real Pagani?
Kofe time.
>>18280614Maybe it's the design. I love my Citizen mallwatch.>>18280690I don't know what to say, Fren. >>18280727He's right though...Rolii are affordable in Japan and easy to obtain. I still don't know why people pay more from an AD.>>18280790I do, Fren. >>18280791I don't like them...they are far too thick.
>>18281465Good Morning, Fren; you keeping well?
>>18281467>I don't like them...they are far too thick.it's okay babygirl, dry your tears and let daddy wear the real man's watch
>>18281470Good day, OmegaChad, nice to see you pop by.I am doing better than ever, good things are on the way. How are you, fren?
>>18281472>ywnbarm>>18281474Glad to hear it, Perpetual Calendar Fren! Excellent on my end too, and I wish you all the best for the wonderful things on the horizon.
>>18281475he insists on not being helpful, ever, so maybe you can tell us instead : how are you supposed to read the day and month on that perpetual calendar?
>>18281477It's best experienced, Fren...words are not sufficient, nor could I match CitizenChad's eloquence. I'd recommend seeing the watch in person...that should clarify everything for you. That Citizen is the ultimate 'set-it-and-forget-it' watch...you never have to adjust it in your lifetime. Remarkable, but something definitely to be experienced. What watch are you sporting today, Fren?
>>18281479That's not an answer, how do you read the day and month on this perpetual calendar and where is the leap year indicator?
Based OD
so now that we're going to mars on starship what's gonna be the Mars watch?
>How are you, fren?>I wish you all the best for the wonderful things on the horizon.>fren fren fren frenHolly shit, why are avatarfags so cringe? Their forced niceness is unbearable. Unironically go back to R*ddit, fags.

>>18280312So this Patek monstrosity is still just a leak right?Not official?
>>18281543It will be officially revealed this Thursday.
>>18281563Good.Because there's literally no way that's actually Patek's new design.
unironically the best watch on bad bracelet
>>18281581The leaks is true. It's from an ad in Fortune Magazine. It was printed and available online.
>>18281605>It was printedReally?
>>18281622Yes.>inb4 "haha pajeet hands"NOT ME.
>>18281625That's fucking atrocious.And to add insult to injury, Patek posted that ad in the "powerful women" edition instead of the "powerful men" one.
>>18280614I like mine very much.
>>18281625Lmaoooo why would you take a pic of a magazine, that's designed lie flat and stay open on its own, like that?
>>18281631To show the cover.
>>18281543>>18280340I honestly think this shitpost is better. Just change the date wheel color. It's basically the layout of Lange's royalcope.
>>18280614Buy a nicer solar watch than a casio. It's your casio that "feels cheap", not the underlying tech.
>>18281542You're not being nice. You're being a huge faggot.Who the fuck call other men "Chad" unironically? Fucking homo.
>>18281634The only nicer than lineage solar watch would be ocean anus and maybe one day i will get one but for now the improvement seems marginal at best.
