The only one I regret is the cocktail time.
>>18283915I see, so it has to be disassembled completely and you can't just do it from the front?
>>18283925what about the hideous shitter top left?
>>18283930Got it when I was 14 or 15 visiting Europe for the first time (my cheapskate dad bought it for me in Switzerland) and it has sentimental value despite being a craptastic quartz no-name shitter.
>>18283925Why do you regret it?
>>18283895buy an ad, Moshe ... these "watch thread" threads are spam by watch merchants
>>18283933Too big and too thick, and I got it while waiting to get off the AnOrdain wait-list for one of their red model ones thinking it would fill the void. But seikos that are over $100 or so are always compromises and the cocktail times are no different; the $400 or whatever it cost is chump change but it's a watch that I never wear because when I do wear it I'm ashamed of it. Really don't like seikos desu senpai. They are the cope of watch brands trying to to pretend they are better than they are.
>>18283931that's sweet, no complains then. love that farer btw.
Post your first watch. Mine was bought for me by my grandfather when my brother and I got scuba certified, it’s a shitter sure but it’s still working and it looks pretty good even after several dives.
>>18283925>The only one I regret is the cocktail timeBecause you didn’t get the mojito
watches are a scam ... it's like getting a tattoo for your wrist ... anyone who carries both a watch and a phone needs their head examined
>>18283950Drink-wise, mojitos and negronis are on a par for me (I usually add a dash of angostura to my mojitos FWIW), and both are awesome summer cocktails. Watch-wise they're also on a par, but in the 'i had too many and did something I regret the next day' way.

>>18283959For that high price, I understand that it is not a disposable quartz watch. So, how is the maintenance of this watch? Should the movement be checked, should the battery be changed?
>>18283972>>For that high price, I understand that it is not a disposable quartz watch.You are wrong.
To the guy with the arabic dial seiko in the previous thread: that's a nice watch.My friend got one and I didn't want the exact same watch (or the day display) so I assembled pic related.It has le ebin NH35 movement and its my first automatic and first screw down crown.I now realize I much prefer manual winding because I switch watches often and end up having to wind it anyway.Also screw-down crowns are trash. The lines of the oyster case are really boring too, but I like the fluted bezel. I also learned 36mm is too small even for my 6.5" wrist. It's like an f91w.
>>18283972You need minimal maintance. Movement should be checked every 15 to 20 years when you change the capacitor.

Some correct opinions:>Not having central seconds is retarded; with the exception of chronographs, the small seconds complication is just clutter.>If you need your watch to tell you the day of the week or the month of the year, you are retarded; it's fine for the watch to have a perpetual calendar for the purpose of accurately displaying the day of the month (as in the case of "The Citizen") but showing all the intermediary calculations is retarded.>Dauphine hands make it easier to read the time.>There is no such thing as a dress watch. A "dress watch" is actually just a traditional watch. In any case, there is no point in changing your watch to suit the occasion, because everywhere you go there are fags wearing fapple watches.>Most manufacturers have incredibly boring and lazy case designs. Obviously this is because they've stuck with old designs that were limited by manufacturing processes. Cases that are just extruded circles are pathetic.>You can absolutely wear a sub or speedmaster or 50 fathoms as a tool watch. If you're to scared to risk scratching your watch then that watch is too expensive for you.>The absolute limit for text on a dial is three words (including the brand name). Essays on the dial look ugly.>Watches must be circular because time is a circle.Boom or doom?>>18284009lmao

>>18283944no one here owns watches, we’re just here to shit on watches we’ll never see
>>18284037Why do you need to read the month on the dial? How could you possibly forget what month it is?I suppose the purpose of a PC with only a date window is that the date is always correct, which is really cool.

>>18284134Please by all means do show us your collection of several rare pieces with five-figures retail prices, we would all love to see it.
>>18284146>with five-figures retail prices>retailYou buy your watches used.
>>18284147You do that if you're on a budget and can't afford them new.You're not on a budget, are you?
>>18284148For a lot of steel watches you want to pay retail because more people want them so the aftermarket price is higher. For precious metal used watches are usually cheaper.
>>18284148>You're not on a budget, are you?Of course not, which is why I don't go out of my way to mention the retail prices of my watches, or consider watches based on their retail price. I can't imagine any serious person being that tacky.
>>18284153Still waiting for that high end collection of yours.And for someone calling others poor, you sure do seem hesitant to bring up your own expenses.
>>18284155Ah, but you're mistaken. I didn't call anyone poor. "Anonymous" is not a single poster.Anyway, I don't want to show off. This is a thread about watches, not about pitiful attempts to convince people you're wealthy.If the conversation turns to a specific watch I own and the conversation is enhanced by me posting a pic of my specific watch, I'll post one.

>>18284171If a Japanese company sets up a factory in another country, they can still claim it's made in Japan if the factory overseer is Japanese."Made in Japan" is even more loosely defined than "Swiss Made"But to that point, don't engage with him. He's just lonely and looking for (You)s.

>>18283952bait, but it's worth reiterating that a watch is easier to check the time on, and that it's great when you're working or have other timed schedules in your life.

You don't need more.
>>18284200I do though.
This "made in"-posting got me thinking -
>>18284205I heard that "made in Italy" also doesn't mean shit. It's chinese (illegal) workers at a factory in Italy producing these clothes. Heard that from a very credible source.

Have to give it to the avatarfrens, they can sure derail the thread with one or two posts when the rest of you start seething and flinging shit on the walls like a bunch of apes.
another thread hidden. :)
>>18284218Well it makes sense though. In todays economy where 80% of the people live paycheck to paycheck and have less than 1000$ saved up, some guys buy watches that costs 10-20K, or however much that mosers costs,seemingly every other month. And now this guy posts shoes that cost 1200$ and a shirt that goes for 700$ while being (living?) in Japan, a dream destination for most people.He's provoking and it works. Keeping some things to yourself is more often better than not. You never know what the other person is going through at the moment.
the roach is replying to himself again. yawn.
>>18284221>constantly mentioning the price of everythingExactly how poor were you as a child in Greece?
>>18284223He's already posted before he was pretty poor as a kid. That explains his utter fascination with making sure everyone knows how much he paid for everything.It also explains why he moved so quickly from a couple Seikos to his Moser. He got worried that people ITT would think he's poor, especially when you have other anons posting expensive pieces.
>>18284226Is everyone whoreanon in this thread?
>>18284229No, I'm not. But Roachadello is probably responsible for at least half the posts in this thread.I tried to talk about watches, but he doesn't want to, so I'll wait until he gets banned again or something.I only need to check in about once per day or so.
>>18284232Are your watches swiss made?
>>18284233Some are. Others are German. I have a really old pocket watch that's American-made. Made in a town I used to live in, in fact, Waltham Mass.
>>18284235You can't drop a bomb like that and not post that pocket watch
>>18284237It's nothing special.

Can you suggest a strap that'll match my all-black watch? The one I've got now looks kinda off with it.

>>18284240Way ahead of you. :)And no, I don't carry this thing in public.
>>18284242I don't know how to do that. I'm not sure if the hands are the originals, but I wouldn't want to mess with them anyway.Here's the movement.
>>18284241Get a jean rousseau leather strap. They make them for F.P.

>>18284195It's telling that patek flaked out and got rid of the geneva seal. Coincided with their horrid decline in QC too.
>>18284281Best part is, the Geneva Hallmark isn't even that strict in terms of quality, you can just have a perlage monke doing plates in under a minute and you're good. It doesn't even have any accuracy requirement.And it's still too much for nu-Patek lmao
It's weird how if you effortpost nobody replies but people argue back and forth about the same two topics ad nauseam for no reason.Stop pretending you can only have one watch. Everyone should have a swiss watch (chinese), a japanese watch (chinese), and a watch they assembled themselves (chinese). End of discussion.
>>18284265You’re 100% right anon.Have some chocolate tits.
>>18284207>I heard that "made in Italy" also doesn't mean shit. It's chinese (illegal) workers at a factory in Italy producing these clothes. The workers are in no way illegal. Chinese firms bought factories and shipped over coolies to run the machines all so that italian mcluxury brands can claim "made in italyʾ. Same shitty corner cutting handiwork by the same chinky hands, only under the etruscan sky. It's a joke.
>>18284265It's telling that so few people who own Rolexes post here and, if/when they do, it's rarely.
>>18284285The new seal standards are stricter than the ones patek REEEEEE'd at.Not surprisingly current patek wouldn't qualify for the geneva seal. Firstly not all patek components are made in the canton and they use disposable silicon hairsprings which the GS bans.
>>18284287Maybe just have a cheap and cheerful Russian (Russian) that you can assemble yourself.
I don't understand why the Japanese make their high-end watches with mechanical movements. I understand why the Swiss do it because it is their own tradition. But the Japanese created quartz watches and they should be proud of it. Grand Seiko should make ultra-precise, ultra-thin quartz watches and invest the money they save on the cost of producing mechanical movements in making quality bracelets.
>>18284294What brands/parts do you recommend?
>>18284297The Swiss just copied the "tradition" you mentioned from their neighbors and thanks to cheap labor they flourished. Later on they were the only ones to survive the quartz crisis thanks to tax-evaders parking their money. The whole thing is a marketing meme. Imagine buying - for example - a royal oak and getting a watch with screws on the bezel. Insane trickery goes on to make people want that.
The only Swiss tradition they respect is fucking you over.
>>18284291The only ownable Rolex I know of is a vintage airking with the pencil hands and linen dial (but I don't want a used watch unless it was owned by father or grandfather).They don't making anything like that now and all their hands are tremendously ugly.I would buy a submariner if it didn't have a circle on the hour hand and the 50 fathoms didn't exist.Seriously are there any rolexes currently available that have decent looking hands (ie. with pointed ends and no weird shapes).Also the cyclops is terribly disgusting and obscures vision of hands passing under it. Its so unnecessary and it should be optional.
>>18284294Interesting looking watches but I'm not sure how to feel about this
this has to be the worst forum of watch discussion
>>18283925>farerhow did you buy that and also buy that vintage omega? Did someone give you the omega? did you fall on your fucking head?
>>18284298You used to be able to order any components you want from Vostok at Meranom and to whatever.No idea if it's still possible now for obvious reasons.Nu-Raketa is also nice as far as 100% russian goes, for a while they worked on the same soviet-era machinery they tracked back after the closure of the original factory and right now they're apparently trying to renew their equipment because once Ivan retires, there won't be anyone left who knows how to operate and maintain a 70 year old motorized hairspring roller.
Isn't the new ugly Patek supposed to be released today? Also unrelated subject, but I'm having sex tomorrow.
>>18284345They'll reveal it once you have sex, so never.
>>18284334 RE the the farer, I saw it on their website and i liked it so I bought it. RE the Seamaster, I was looking for a gold vintage Omega on eBay, saw this one, and I bought it. Not too difficult a process for either watch.RE falling on my head, last time I fell on my head was 15 years ago when I got drunk at a tailgate and decided to play catch in a parking lot and jumped up to catch an overthrown football, but fell on the way down and knocked my head badly on the ground. Since then my head has been fine.
>>18284352Why would Patek releases would depend on me having sex? They don't even know I exist.
I've become increasingly cognizant of where the goods I buy are made, which is why I'll stick to rolex and moser. The anons who mentioned Japan's loose manufacturing origin standards are correct bc most (grand) seiko products are from China with only their higher end stuff 100% from Japan. >>18284345can't wait to see her looking even more pregnant
Bros, I have about 2k to spend.Looking for a dressier watch on a bracelet in 35mm or 36mm that I can wear most of the time. Needs 50m water resist at least due to baby duties. A date would be nice.So far, it's between a Tissot PRX and a Tudor 1926. Most of the time I am wearing a casioak or a Tissot Gentleman (which is nice, but kind of boring and 40mm is too big to wear everyday).

Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that the Black Bay 54 is not that great of a watch?It's the same mix and match Rolex elements repackaged for retro vibes, but objectively, yellow indices don't go that well with the aluminum details on the bezel.
>>18284443>I would buy the grey fume dialYou're in luck if you're serious about it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/296730112528
>>18284479No, it's literally the perfect diver. Wish I could find a good fake of it in my country.
>>18284361The Casioak is better than your 2 options as a daily. It's more than fine for daily use and is a nice watch. Get a watch for special occasions or special use cases if you have one.

>>18284417This thread is testament that that meme has more credence than you give it credit for. The anons that have bought rolex's over the years have rarely returned because they got all they needed. Those that spent their money on shitters or otherwise continue to haunt the threads year after year seeking validation from those that cannot and have no grounds of giving it. Buy a rolex or buy a casio and forget about watches forever.
You've been here accusing others of fishing for attention for years. Fucking YEARS. Each time someone points out that you're projecting, presumably because you came here expecting to be praised for buying a Rolex Kope (the most popular and ubiquitous luxury watch brand in history) and didn't get any praise because nobody gives a fuck about another uninspired Rolex owner/collector, what you do is greentext with a stutter to put words in someone's mouth, equivalent to>n-no u!The fact that you're not hypocritically accusing that poster, whoever the fuck he is, of doing the very same thing that you are doing here sinceY E A R S (because you have no life or existence outside of 4chan to speak of)tells us everything we'd ever need to know about you, your social standing, your lack of sex, and curiously, your lack of funds because if anything you own a single 10k watch and not a collection by any means.You're probably the worst and most toxic person that has ever plagued 4chan and that's saying something. Reconsider your life choices instead of taking your bitterness out on strangers talking about watches. You fucking yellow chink.
>>18284516The point is that, at this point, buying a Rolex is not going to solve anything for them.A normal person wants to buy a nice watch, buys a Rolex, and is done with watches. A consoomer buys a bunch of shitters and then maybe buys a Rolex. By the time he's bought the Rolex, though, he's not even thinking about watches anymore, it's just another dopamine hit of making another purchase and dreaming about all the (You)s he'll get.He's literally ruined watches for himself.

>>18284540Disgusting
>>18284536There isn't a single watch in the world that will solve any problem other than letting someone know the time when they look at it. Beyond that, expecting a watch - Rolex or Shitter - to do anything else is pointless. Some people like watches and enjoy collecting them. Others don't see the point. Some wrongly think a watch will make up for some personal deficiency or will advertise their taste/value/worth to others, which it never will in anything other than the most cursory way.Bottom line is that if you like and want a watch and can afford it, you should get it. If any of those three (like, want, afford) is a no, don't get it. Simple as.

>>18284550thanks friend
>>18283901Did he wore it during EVA?
>>18284567he is trying to demoralize your wrist. you cannot let this happen.
>>18284552I can only think in car analogies so here goes:There is no such thing as a perfect watch just like there's no such thing as a perfect car. >You need a fun 2-door MT daily driver that puts a smile on your face every time you go somewhere.>But as soon as you have a kid you need somewhere to put the carseat and stroller, and your Porsche/Mustang/Miata/M3/whatever isn't going to cut it.For me, it was the speedmaster. I bought it a decade ago thinking its the only watch I'll ever need. In reality I won't wear it if I'm spray-painting furniture, I'll wear a cheapo casio instead. Even without the bracelet, it's hard to make a chronograph look dressy, so now I'm looking at the GS SBGY013 and SBGY011 too.I get owning a rolex as a personal choice but you would need at least a daytona and an oystercase.Please only wear a dive watch if you actually dive.
>>18284575>Please only wear a dive watch if you actually dive.no
>>18284560You can't buy taste anon, expensive/iconic =\= good looking or right for you. It's just like guns, everyone tries to convince other people online that they need a 7 thousand dollar AR-15 because of the brand name, when in reality they aren't better for that price, it's just a flex. Bee confident and bee yourself without needing to spend money for brand recognition or something. If a Rolex is the watch you want that's great, but if it was you probably wouldn't be telling everyone else they need one.

>>18284586>everyone tries to convince other people online that they need a 7 thousand dollar AR-15 because of the brand nameWait, what?
>>18284600checked and its the true sign of buyer's remorse. Nobody is on here desperately trying to convince everyone they need a VC, are they?
I will now rate some watches>>182840029/10, Excellent watch, excellent movement, I think it is a very honest watch. Unfortunately, as with Japanese watches, the bracelet looks bad.>>18284168Moser, 5/10, beautiful dial, nice movement, too big, absurd lug design, what is the hole on the sides for?Seiko, 5/10, nice dial, but too big, poor quality bracelet.>>182842169/10, Excellent watch, excellent proportions, quartz.>>182844795/10, Good proportions, but the fake patina and that bracelet are unacceptable.>>182845373/10, A microbrand's attempt at creating a Genta-style watch.
>>18284605>Nobody is on here desperately trying to convince everyone they need a VC, are they?Of course not. Also, nobody is calling other people poor for not having a +10k gadget which functionality can be replaced with 9.9k less money.
>>18284616>Also, nobody is calling other people poor for not having a +10k gadget which functionality can be replaced with 9.9k less money.>>18284134>>18284146>>18284148>>18284155etc etc etc
>>18284586>convince other people online that they need a 7 thousand dollar AR-15Unless you are going to combat, why would anyone 'need' an AR-15?
What a mess
>>18284622You NEED a means to defend yourself.As for an AR specifically, that comes down to preference. Some people, especially those with military experience, are very comfortable with the platform. Comfort/familiarity matters a lot when being effective with a weapon.Personally, I think a shotgun is more useful/flexible, but that's just my opinion.
>>18284540>>18284565KEK Maen shits on Patek, I think the rolex fags were right in that they figured out watches. Never seen rolex get BTFOed like this
>>18284623Looks like shit on the wrist. It looks so big and awkward.
>>18284626I have seen better fitting gshocks.
>>18284626This either feels like a missed opportunity or Patek has a specific audience they intend to sell this too.I can't imagine they're deliberately sidestepping the current trend back to smaller, thinner watches.
>>18284600Yeah, Knights Armament rifles. seriously.
>>18284624Defend form what? Zombie apocalypse? If you think you NEED a gun to 'defend yourself' wouldn't a let's say a .357 magnum, a .38 or a .45 be enough?
>>18284633The watch is actually very thin (8,3mm) but it's 45mm lmaoPrice is insane: $41k for the stainless steel steel 3 hands.
>>18284626I also have a car analogy here. Cars like rolls royce cullinan, bentley bentayga and so on. They are incredibly, ridiculously ugly, yet they sell in massive numbers because rich people have no taste. And of course this patek will sell like crazy, they can sell dinner plates smeared in dog shit and people will buy as long as it says patek on it.
>>18284635>If you think you NEED a gun to 'defend yourself' wouldn't a let's say a .357 magnum, a .38 or a .45 be enough?A pistol could easily be enough, yes.But like I said, familiarity counts. If you're not comfortable with a pistol, you're not going to be as accurate, you're not going to be able to reload as quickly, etc. If you're used to an AR, that's what you should select to defend your home.
>>18284643>rich people have no tasteRich people are not a monolithic group, retard.
>>18284640>>18284643Man, Patek has really lost the plot, haven't they?Ugly watches and overpriced (even by their own standards). The watches that aren't a riot of strange features are simply too plain and boring.
>>18284635A .38 or .45 is fine/enough. I don't have anything against ARs, own several guns, and fully support 2nd amendment rights, and at the same time think most of the blacked-out AR nuts out there are also idiot LARPers who live in a fantasy world.
>>18284646>If you're used to an AR, that's what you should select to defend your home.Do you live in Gaza anon?
>>18284634Im not a gunfag is a knights armament sr-25 really not worth it? I want one for the dumb reason that it is in a video game lol
>>18284653What's the problem?
Swiss watch industry:>AP makes Marvel versions of RO>PP is a disaster.>VC makes some good watches, but Richemont.>Omega is dead.Rolex are so alone.
>>18284652>A .38 or .45 is fine/enough.>at the same time think most of the blacked-out AR nuts out there are also idiot LARPers who live in a fantasy world.Thanks, I thought I was loosing my mind. I don't live in USA, so I really don't get it from a constitutional perspective, but I also own a (one) gun and enjoy (enjoyed actually, haven't been in the shooting range in more than a decade) target shooting. I have a .22 competition rifle.
Can you identify the watch?https://x.com/CerfiaFR/status/1846936634396197165

>>18284666666 the number of the beast
>>18284662Casio f91w
2.5k is such an awkward number, what would you buy for that price? Used, probably the best thing would be longines zulu time, but new? Nothing comes to mind. Maybe microshitters like chris wart?
>>18284685I think the Junghans max bill or some Laco.
>>18284685Vintage Omega.
>>18284657It's really not worth it. If you want an SR15 just buy a PSA AR10 and kit it out to look like an SR25. You'll appreciate not spending thousands on it and it'll shoot nearly identically. Plus KAC QC is not the best so you might even end up with a lemon for that price. Same with optics, buy arken, old eotechs, primary arms etc until you're at a point where it matters.t. gunfag
>>18284710>until you're at a point where it mattersWhat would be that point? Being in the SAS?
>>18284726Competitions. Extremely long-range shooting comps is the only place where glass quality actually matters 99.9 percent of gun owners can get away with not buying crazy expensive optics like nightforce shit. You could make an argument for hunting too but most optics will do you just fine and it's nitpicking beyond that. Just like watches, you can also try something and decide there are one or two things that bother you and look to sell what you have and fix those problems by buying something different. Until you do a lot of shooting there's.no point in going crazy with spending.
>>18284685Well in the shitterzone where watches are an endless parade ETA/clones in virtually interchangeable chinkmade cases, bracelets, dials and handsets with zero notability, merit or originality. It would be better to lower the budget dramatically or increase it dramatically. Waste of money.
>>18284726Can you just shut the fuck up please? You're really annoying.

Tony Soprano maxxing
>>18284805mmm, now let's see paul allen's shitters
>>18284805I will now rate every single watch in your collection from top left to bottom right.1. Casio Royale, a solid choice. 7/10 (would be 10 if it was steel).2. The edifice, 7/10, a tad too in your face imho.3. Anus, 8/10, digging the field watch vibe.4. Casio protreck? 7,10 operatorcore.5. Swatch, 4/10, just don't like it.6. Bulova, 5/10, would be a solid 8 at least without the open heart.7. GShock, 7/10, I am the darkness. Not a fan of the near blank dial with negative display. 8. The Pagani, 8/10, an honest "homage" to wear when you're sleazemaxxing or something.
My phone sucks. Either the shot is too contrasty or to washed out. Doesn't do the watch justice

My fiancée is wanting to get me a watch for my birthday, and while a Grand Seiko is unfortunately out of our budget at the moment I noticed some of these King Seikos look pretty nice.Something that's throwing me off though is the precision. Seems a little high no? Can anyone provide some input on the King Seiko line of watches and if they're any good for the price?
>>18284064Yea thanks fren
>>18284918Wildly overpriced.Tell your fiancée that you appreciate the sentiment, but you'd rather she spend the money on a nice vacation so you can make good memories together instead of saddling you with a shitter you'll hate in less than a year but you'll never be able to get rid of.
seiko advan/vanac are cool looking shitters and I’ll always love them
>>18284805This is a humble collection. You don't need anything more.
>>18284925I was about to tell that guy to save up for a watch he actually wants and not settle for a substitute, but your advice is way better. You're a very smart, courteous and tactful person. I've learned something from you today. Thanks.
>>18284823Probably is a matter of lightning anon. You can do magic in photography under the right light, even with a mediocre camera. Disregard the bitterness of the other anons. I'm sure it's lack of sex.
Why did Tag Heuer rip-off the Longines Zulu Time
>>18284941painfully generic like the longinesand to think I thought tag was actually becoming a little not-as-shitty for once with the glassbox chronos
>>18285047Looks significantly shittier than the long jeans (i own a zulu time though)
>>18284823The CITIZEN
>>18285070Yeah. At least it doesn't have the dumb yelp review stars though.
>>18283944does the plankton one from burgerking or whatever count?My first one was some cheap shitter that broke in six months. Then I only used f91ws for a while but I recently got the duro since it's cheap and more professional looking.
>>18284918Slightly used GS then? No?
>>18285119>does the plankton one from burgerking or whatever count?only if you post that pussy dripper.I didn’t realize the MDV106 was so universally loved, casio is truly the best watchmaker

>>18284565Holy shit Patek ripped off Maen
>>18284537>>18284540>>18284623>>18284640I seriously don't get it.It's exactly the same as a Nautilus, but square.What a vulgar piece of shit.
K E KEK
>>18285249Or "lying down"That's pretty funny
>>18284626>$40.5k for the steel three handerAPOLOGIZE
>>18285247>It's exactly the same as a Nautilus, but square.And the Aquanaut was a Nautilus, but rounder.All of Patek's sports watches are derivative from the Nautilus. The Aquanaut is the affordable one, the Cubitus (lol) is the middle one and the Nautilus (now only in white gold) is the expensive one. If you want the actual Genta iconic design, you have to pay a premium. Don't get me wrong, I think all of these watches are fugly but I also think it kinda makes sense. Also the Cubitus is not for us. It's for arabs, asians, jews and niggers.
>>18285253nice Grand Baume & Mercier
>>18285259>the Aquanaut was a Nautilus, but rounderThey're roughly the same size and roundness.The Aquanaut has always been a shitter, but at least it wasn't a complete trainwreck like the 45mm square Cubitus.>the Cubitus (lol) is the middle oneActually the Cubitus is WAY more expensive than the Nautilus ever was.Steel three hander Nautilus: ~$25k-30k (two years ago before it was discontinued)Steel three hander Cubitus: $40kThey're insane.
>>18285269Yes, and now their sports collections is:>Aquanaut: 25k eurobucks>Cubitus (lol) : 40k eurobucks>Nautilus : 70k eurobucks
>>18285279>>Cubitus (lol) : 40k eurobucks>>Nautilus : 70k eurobucksYeah but you're comparing gold to steel.
>>18284537>>18284540Seriously though, where does one go from here? This pics feel is that of someone who's at his peak and has achieved anything he wants from life. Would a more expensive watch be...."better" at this point? This feels genuine and with a lot of soul. It's like... he didn't find the watch, the watch and him found each other to create this moment of bliss and appreciation of life itself.
>>18284918I think these cheapest SPB King Seikos are the best looking in the line. But the movement is really a letdown, they put it in much cheaper watches, maybe they've considered 6L to be to expensive? Especially when KSes from the 60's had high end movements exclusively. On the other side, you won't see the movement and it's easy to regulate to COSC or whatever.
>>18284918I just wouldn't buy that new. A used Credor or GS would be much cooler
>>18285291lmao there's nothing cool about Credor and Grand Soikope
>>18284685This thing is such a balm for the soul after those Cubitus pics.
