>>18285405Thanks anon. Is that the GG-B100? I like it. How are the sensors?

>>18285377The watches are cool, but Parmigiani-Fleurier needs to find a better logo. They've had a couple attempts now and none of them has worked.
best bauhaus watch? I actually don’t hate nomos, don’t care that they’re faggots
>>18285409This is foul anon
G'day mates.
>>18285420The Nomos Tangente ref.101 is the purest expression of the form. The closest to the original pre-war design.No date window nonsense or anything like that, not absurdly oversized (though I think there's also a 33mm version which would be even more historically accurate).
>>18285411yes it is. sensors are good, steps / altitude work fine, compass seems to be off no matter how many times i calibrate it tho. there was an app where u could connect with the watch and look at some data from it but sadly it's no longer supported so doesnt work anymore
Afternoon kofe time.
>>18285420I like the Lako and the Junghans. Best Bauhaus style in this case would be Junghans.

>>18285437Always the same watch. Nice.
>>18285442Yeah, back in those days, the industry was a little different so all the companies used to source their dials from a company that just made dials, cases from casemakers, etc.The Rolex-style vertical integration is relatively new.
Patek is a joke. I mean I don’t think they ever truly recovered from getting raped by the Datograph, but this is their death rattle.
>>18285440Nice watch southern hemisphere anon. I've been thinking to buy one. I like the moon phase.
>>18285447>couldn’t even be bothered to make a square movement
>>18285443Not only they did so, but customers also deemed more valuable a watch with single parts made by specific manufacturers who were considered expert at making that specific thing. The current day's mentality is the consequence of the domination of the chinkshit production model.

>>18285447hideous and inelegant
Anon from the previous thread asking about the KSK.Ended up going to my local Seiko boutique to see the watch in person and immediately fell in love with it. The different movements on a watch don't really matter to me, and I can hold off on a Grand Seiko until I'm middle-aged and married or someshit. Besides I would want a brand-new one and only the piece I really want at that price range.All I know is I'm very happy with what I was gifted today.
>>18285447Pajeet Filthippe has always been a meme. Audemars Piguet is a thousand times better, and you don't even need to consider the Royal Oak to understand this.
>>18285453When you’re a brand like Patek trading mostly on prestige and charging 40% more for worse watches, yes it matters when your new, highly anticipated sports watch is a hideous piece of shit.
>>18285458*living only on prestigeFTFY

>>18285464Not watch related.
>>18285460Good choice.Was 2000 the year you graduated college?
>>18285460Great buy anon, but I would swipe that bezel for a coke one.
>>18285460Beautiful and not even remotely comparable to modern rolex stuff.
>>18285464Wtf based and kek'd
>>18285466No fun allowed. Cheer up dude. Jeez.
>>18285456The>automatic 3 days is an eyesore. Companies should stop fucking doing this unnecessary clutter. As long as you don't mind the inaccurate movement, then it doesn't look like a bad watch.I prefer the red one myself.
>>18285457>Audemars Piguet is a thousand times betterWAS a thousand times better.AP these days is a joke that stopped being funny and is now just sad. They are completely tied to the Royal Oak. They can't even get away from it if they tried.They could bring back the Jules Audemars line, but they won't because they know it wouldn't sell and it would lose them money. They're still independent and cannot afford such losses.
>>18285456Looks good man, KS gets you a more retro design in the dial and bracelet compared with GS, sometimes I think KS is better looking. Enjoy

>>18285474One-watch wonder brands are good brands.
>>18285448B-b-but anon that is CEST in Western Europe.In any case, the GW-7900 is one of my favourites. The stopwatch visualizer on the main screen, the moon phase, and the easy to use buttons are my favourite features. It's my go to workout and manual labour watch, I recommend it.
>>18285469>Beautiful and not even remotely comparable to modern rolex stuff.This.90s/00s Rolex was somehow able to perfectly walk the fine line between tool watch and jewelry.
>>18285473Agreed, would've been nice if it just said "Automatic" like the ones from 2 years ago but I guess the extra 2 hours have to be advertised somehow.The red one is also stunning in person. Their website photos don't do any of the watches justice. >>18285485Thanks anon. I think the retro style is definitely what drew me in without even realizing it.
>>18285377So they really found a more cancerous logo than their previous attempts? Keep at it lads you'll have finally destroyed the brand by 2032.
>>18285489Sorry I meant G-7900.
>>18285486Classic Pepsi.Although I dislike most GMT-Masters. I hate rotating bezels and prefer the Explorer II for a GMT watch.
>>18285496The Explorer II is a watch for real men, the GMT Master is a watch for drunkards. Simple as.
>>18285489Right now I'm between this and the Gw5000u. The 5000u has everything I want except the moonphase. I don't even know why I would need it, but I like it.
>>18285420The Nomos Orion is the only one I'd ever buy. They used to do an anthracite dial which was absolutely beautiful, but they deleted that of course. They do a black one now, which is not quite the same.
>>18285467no, the year was somewhat random, i just wanted 3185 with lug holes>>18285468thanks and nah, not a fan of the coke or pepsi bezels.>>18285469thanks and kinda unpopular opinion, but i agree
>>18285447This is the '''''''''best'''''''''' dial and it looks like this on your arm. They are finnish.
>>18285514People said the same about the Royal Oak when it came out.Everyone already wears smart watches which are squares.Patek is ahead of the curve, yet again.
>>18285514>>18285518I'm interested to see how it looks when the mid-size version comes out. I bet it will look better. The same way the medium Santos looks better than the large.But it's not like it matters, these pieces have all been spoken-for for the next ten years.
>>18285518The coping has already begun.
>>18285535Someone has an opinion that differs from the hivemind? Better get yourself to r*dd*t and warn them!
I will now rate some watches>>182854235/10, Good proportions for a diver, but the end links do not fit well into the lugs. The Miyota movement is a mistake, an inexpensive watch should have a quartz movement.>>182854473/10, Disappointing watch with integrated bracelet from a microbrand.>>182854568/10, very good proportions, nice and symmetrical dial. The bracelet looks good, despite being a Japanese watch. It is a bit thick, but it is OK. A bit expensive for a Seiko.>>1828546010/10, Preceramic GMT, I have nothing more to say.>>182854619/10, VC from the golden age of watchmaking, I like the case, but it is a somewhat extravagant watch for my taste, but it is a very nice watch.
>>18285504I own a square too and IMO it is nowhere as cool as the G-7900. But it is a lot more discrete looking. I suppose it depends on what you're looking for.Might even get rid of the square after Christmas to make room for more watches, I'm trying not to hoard too much...
>>18285540Patek doesn't make a single good looking watch right now. How's that for hivemind?
Post a picture of your watch collection NOW.
>>18285547
>>18285544I don't particularly like squares, but the gw5000u has some cool features, like a screw back, dlc coating, and displaying time and chrono together.
>>18285547Since last posting I got a SKMEI and built my watch for learning the numbers in Arabic.I also got a case for them.
>>18285553Why would you want a Skmei?
>>18285553I nominate you as the King of Shitters.
>>18285555It was AED15 and is seemingly a direct upgrade feature-wise to the casio next to it. The fact that you can use the light in any mode is a big plus. I'm sure there are G-Shocks that are the same way but it was hilariously cheap so I got one. Also checked.>>18285556Thanks, I accept. I'm considering a GS as my next watch and I hope that only serves to reinforce my authority.
>>18285491Damn, why didn't you get the one from 2 years ago, those are better looking.Loom has no please on King Seiko imo
>>18285563*No placeAlso the case on these look like GS 4520 reimagining instead of KS 44 or 45
>>18285553Based Skmei 1988 enjoyer.I have one too, the negative display is surprisingly good.
>>18285547>>18285553it's SKMEI time
>>18285572Yeah I had a green f91w ages ago that I swapped the polarizing sheet on and the negative display looked awful, but this is great. The negative display with the light is much easier to read than the casio w/ light. Also the light stays on and little while which I obviously prefer.>>18285573nooooooooo watches aren't allowed to be fun you have to obsess over resale valuuuuuuuuuuuue(very nice)
If you want an indestructible watch you really have few options.Casioak models are cool from an ideal viewpoint, but all their dials suck the shit. Awful hands, awful markers, very few decent backgrounds.G-Shock squares are slightly reddit-looking and too big for any wrist smaller than 6,5''. However, they do what they're required to do and basically nothing comes close.Baby-G would be the perfect solution to the flaws of Casioaks and Squares, but it's impossible to find a new one in a decent color scheme. The Baby-G branding is cringe as hell.That's it. You have no other options. Everything from one brand, and not a single watch that can be considered perfect. Sad, overall.
>>18285377I love brass watches and this might be the purdiest looking watch I've seen, it speaks to me.
>>18285573>>18285576hell yeah my fellow gigashitter enjoyers
>>18285572>>18285573>>18285583Every night I come home from the mines and get on my computer to toil in /WT/ and defend the integrity of horology against the rolex legion and the royal copers. I didn't know my brothers were here.
I only like shitters, expensive luxury watches look like shit
>>18285583That's actually based. You probably spent less than 50 bucks in all of them together.
>>18285562>but it was hilariously cheap so I got oneSounds fair. Also, I haven't checked my own get. Nice.
/WT/ is an army of paid Rolex shills fighting an army of unpaid SKMEI rebels. Truly heroic.That said, as king of the shitters here are some other watches I like (please confirm they are shitters):>Blancpain: 50 Fathoms and Villeret (SWATCH GROUP)>Rolex: Air-King 5500 w/ linen dial (this styling was dropped by Rolex so it must be shitter-core, I mean it's basically a GS dial, isn't it?)>A Lange und Sohne: Lange 1 and Saxonia Thin (I've gotta visit the ALS boutique because I suspect the part of the Lange 1 dial that actually tells the time is comically small and everyone just wanks over "muh finishing und muh movement" but if its not a usable watch what's the point?)>Grand Seiko: any spring drive model, but more specifically those with the nu-44GS case and/or a white/silver dial.
>>18285597the AK isn't a shitter and neither is the Saxonia Thin but, yeah, the rest are total dogshit for tacky people with more money than brains.
>>18285562>The fact that you can use the light in any mode is a big plusIn which mode you can't use the light? My G-shocks don't have that problem.
>>18285599You're all right, as long as you're not one of those rolexfags who wants a watch with the Mercedes-Benz logo on the hour hand and a bulbous protrusion on the crystal. (checked)>>18285601I think its only an issue in the super-cheap casios, not G-Shocks. If you're running the stopwatch using the light normally displays a split time and if you're setting an alarm it cycles between alarm and signal.
>>18285597Blancpain and Breguet are Swatch group brands that mog 95% of the market, despite their incompetent executive leadership.
Franck Mullers were the 'it' watch for the 90s and early '00s.Then came the Hublots and Royal Oak Offshores in the '10sNow, it's Richard Mille.What do we think the 2030s version of the rich footballer's watch will be?
>>18285599>the AK isn't a shitterthe air king was literally invented because Rolex had some junk parts lying around they had to use for something
>>18285597>Fifty FathomsMight be the most poorly managed collection in the world. Blancpain CAN make a 40 or 42mm steel version, they just WON'T and only use these sizes for very limited runs and/or titanium or gold versions while the permanent collection is 45 or 47mm.It's like they don't want it to be a success.Which generally makes sense for Swatch : if you have an appealing FF or Bathyscaphe, then the Seamaster buyer might start thinking about saving up for that.Villeret is okay though the watches have gotten larger and it really doesn't suit them at all.
>>18285621No wonder it's so kino.Switching from the pencil hands to the Mercedes-Benz AMG styling was such a travesty.>>18285624Yeah I haven't tried one yet but 45mm is probably too big for my 6.5'' wrists.
GRAND SEIKO GRAND SEIKO GRAND SEIKO GRAND SEIKO
>>18285553is that omega fake?
>>18285583What is even the point?
>>18285547Since you asked nicely.
>>18285625Not only is the FF big but the sapphire bezel makes it look even bigger.It's unwearable unless you're wearing it over a sleeve because "muh pure dive watch meant to be worn over the wetsuit"
>>18285587Please accept a firm handshake my brother in arms.>>18285589That's about right yeah. The metal square came with a low battery (display goes blank when activating the light) I complained to aliex to send it back and they just gave me the money and let me keep it. The square clone is my favourite and it was $5.>>18285633Exploring different watch sizes and weights to see how they look and feel on the wrist.
>>18285621Wrong. The Air-King is the last remnant of an old series of pre-war watches called the "Air" series (Air-King, Air-Giant, Air-Lion, etc)The Air-King, introduced in 1945, was the biggest at 34mm, which was large for a men's watch in the 30s.
>>18285639The new 42mm titanium version is actually pretty wearable size-wise, but it's still way too thick.Somehow, Blancpain is able to make a 300m diver that's only 10.7mm thick in the 38mm Bathyscaphe but they refuse to make the same effort with the FF.If they look the 42mm FF, made it in steel, gave it a closed caseback, thinned it down to around 13mm and nixed the date window, the lines at the BP boutique would stretch out the door.
>>18285627
>>18285544Square is my favorite. The osama Casio doesn’t fit my meat stick wrist properly. The square doesn’t look comically huge and actually fits properly while also being everything you actually need from a watch, and it’s indestructible.Fuck hands and a moon phase. Date, day, time, with alarm stop watch and timer. Simple as
>>18285597I don't like the Lange 1. All that wasted space and a tiny actual dial bothers me. I find it flabbergasting that so many apparently like it.
>>18285583Fucking basedPic my inherited shitters
>>18285656>I find it flabbergasting that so many apparently like it.It was built initially to be the odd-looking watch that got people talking about the new brand.The initial rollout was the semi-rectangular Arkade and the Saxonia (the normal-looking watches the expected to be the big sellers); and then the Lange 1, which was to show that the Germans didn't just copy the Swiss; and the Pour le Mérite with a tourbillon, which showed off that the new brand can do highly complex movements.Turns out that the boring watches were too boring and the Lange 1 was what people thought of when they thought about A. Lange & Söhne.
>>18285647My running theory is that Swatch has not had a plan for Blancpain for 15 to 20 years.>Biver purchases the Blancpain name in the 80s and restarts the brand>uses modern Frederic Piguet movements and makes fairly modern looking watches and contemporary takes on older design types (Villeret Triple Calendars, Leman Aqua Lung is basically the 90s version of a skin diver)>it works extremely well and Blancpain becomes a hit in a generally morose industry in the 90s>Biver sells to Swatch because that's just what he always does, he's never in it for the long haul>Swatch's plan is to make Blancpain its modern and innovative brand relative to Tissot, Longines and Omega>goes all-in by ending the successful Leman collection and replacing it with the L Evolution>still uses the same Piguet movements>design is basically Blancpain's answer to the other two smash hits of the time, Frank Muller and Hublot>it fails horribly>no, seriously, Blancpain killed its most profitable collection ever to transition into the biggest flop in Swatch's entire history>now if Blancpain does too much to make the Fifty Fathoms - it's other successful model - a popular watch, it will get in the way of the ambition Swatch has for the Seamaster line>ok just keep it expensive, make the basic FF and Bathyscaphe models either large, in exotic materials, or with complications so there is no basic dive watch here at a price point that could compete with the various Seamasters>if Blancpain does too much to make the Villeret an appealing, entry-level luxury dress watch, it will get in the way of the Omega Constallation and De Ville>if Blancpain does too much to make th Villeret an appealing high-end luxury dress watch, it will go in the way of Breguet which is the Hayeks' pet project>Blancpain forever stuck in limbo not making the models people want OR the models Swatch want
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one
>>18285664Not 100% my style but I can see the appeal. I like the white and beige. Nice choice anon.
exulo
>>18285661>Turns out that the boring watches were too boring and the Lange 1 was what people thought of when they thought about A. Lange & Söhne.That is true. The saxonia, both the regular and the thin, a very boring watches. None of the elegance or flair of the previous calatrava, which was just an 80yr old design grossly stretched out, and they're especially bland compared with the patrimony traditionelle.I tried on the 35mm and the 38mm saxonias years ago before the thin had been released. I liked them, but they were so booooring.If I ever get a lange it'll be an 1815. If you're going to go "boring" or stark germanic then go the full way. The saxonia is too half-way.
>>18285663I'm with you most of the way but the >if the FF is too good it will eat Seamaster salesis a little farcical.The FF is priced at 3 times the Seamaster. Blancpain as a company is a tiny fraction of what Omega is. Blancpain is smaller than Breguet. If every FF was purchased by someone who initially intended to buy a Seamaster, the Seamaster would still be a sales hit for Omega.I do agree that Blancpain's mismanagement is becoming comical at this point but, truthfully, the real reason Blancpain hasn't made the FF people want is probably just down to simple stubbornness. >We're going to make a modern diver, dammit, not just a reissue of a watch from six decades ago!
What is the dicklet's choice of watch?
>>18285673>The FF is priced at 3 times the Seamaster.Why do you think that is?Blancpain was not that high in prices until the L Evolution debacle. What made the Leman collection a success is precisely that it was quite affordable considering the fact that it had the same movement you'd find at the time in the Royal Oak and such. That movement was also used in the FF (which makes it even funnier that it's that thick when it packs in some ultra-slim movements)The position of the FF as so high end came later and pretty much coincides with the Seamaster catalog's growth and its promotion with James Bond tie-ins etc.>probably just down to simple stubbornness. I dunno because every now and then they DO make these reissue-like versions, but in very limited runs like the Hodinkee collab NoRad. Maybe it's refusal to admit they're not positioning th emodel correctly, maybe it's not wanting to complete internally (because higher in the price bracket is the Breguet Marine too I guess), maybe it's going all-in on limited run FOMO marketing that seems to be working for Omega.Whatever the case, I kinda hope Blancpain keeps underperforming so Swatch sells it, hopefuly to someone who will better understand its potential.A 42mm steel FF, a no-date Bathyscaphe would sell really well. Even a revival of the Leman line could work. Hell you might even be able to bring back the L Evolution and make outrageous designs to compete in the ultra-complicated ultramodern category where you have Hublot's high end, MB&F, that kind of stuff.The current situation of a zombie Blancpain is just sad.
>>18285685hublot.
>>18285688I think you're really over-estimating Swatch's worry that companies are cannibalizing each other's sales.Like the other anon said, the scale of the companies is very different. Blancpain makes like 20,000 watches per year. Omega is around half a million. The overwhelming majority of Omega owners probably have zero idea Blancpain even exists.>Why do you think that is?Because one is a mass-market entry-level luxury diver and the other is a full-on luxury diver. Every Blancpain is made by hand by a single watchmaker. That's what you're paying for.

>>18285699You're getting your Moserfags confused. Roach got the cheapest possible entry-level baby Pioneer. Grampa bought the baby Pioneer but on the bracelet.
Stupid question...why does the movement in those sugess watches look better than most other movements I see? it's like a $200 watch.
fucking avatardshitter
>>18285697>>18285701Sorry, all apologies to based sweater guy. I just hate turkroach and his constant avatarfagging so much. I'd literally hire a hitman to kill him if I knew how that was done. I'd feel it would be an act of charity.
>>18285713I am guessing you mean the st1901. It is because it's a mechanical chronograph and usually cost a lor more, but chinks bought this movement in the 50s and been making it since in massive numbers.
>>18285721yes, that's the one. It's pretty. Am I just out to lunch? I think it's awesome. They should make a complete skeleton version instaed of putting a dial on it, like I just want to look at the movement.
>>18285723I think every poor person should own a 1963 or some other watch with this movement, but i believe it has a very high failure rate being cheaply made and comlicated and servicing it would cost more than buying a new watch.
>>18285717>lame samefagging
I just learned about the G-2900F-1V Casio G-ShockThe only reason it stands out is that it has a data bank with a 4 digit passcode protection which I found good especially with a 10 year battery life

>>18285764so if /pol/ chuds hate it...does that mean Rolex was actually based this whole time?
Dear anons from the previous thread,I hear your recommendations for saving my money for a dressier 36mm rolex over a Tudor 1926. I am not sure I like the look many of the modern rolexes and I'm not sure I can justify spending like 6k on a steel sports watch. So I ordered a few different bands for the Tissot Gentleman and even an aliexpress jubilee bracelet while I decide what to get. I also like the Longines Master collection, which is again under 10mm thick and ticks that dressier look.I fear nothing will be as comfy as the smaller casioak though, or as resistant to baby food, piss, bath water, being used as rattle etc. So I'll save for the rolex and bug you again in like a month.
>>18285766agreed. Rolex was and still is the final red pill. gs cucks will never understand the Rolex power
>>18285697Based Wool enjoyer
>>18285701And that cheapest level moser (not true btw) costs more than your entire collection + car. So there's that.
>>18285772you forgot his yearly rent lmao (not like he owns a place)
I miss ratecel fags so much it hurts
>>18285772(You)'re acting like a Moser is actually any more expensive than a Datejust.There's no need to be bitter, though. You buy what you like, right? No matter how much it costs....You didn't just buy it because The Best Chart said it was ultra luxury, did you?
Sir you dropped your watch!
>>18285781The real Mosers are considerably expensive.The steel three-handers? No. Those are cheap.That's why you never buy the entry-level of any brand. It just shows people that you care more about the brand name than the quality of the item.
>>18285772>>18285778>lazy samefagging
>>18285767Tudor 1926 is a good looking watch, the rolex celini (probably am calling it wrong) is nice two but 2K versus 50K has to be factored in
>>18285781the head teller at my local bank branch has that watch. (nice watch but that's killed rolex for me as a brand, it's a mall tier brand now)
>>18285779Rolex 10/10 You miss that? Anon, are you ok?
>>18285785>real vacheron>real moserwonder what's next?
>>18285795>wonder what's next?My guess would be continued coping and increasing bitterness from people who think buying a watch is the same as buying respect.
>>18285756I prefer to be known as a G-God
>>18285447Honestly, my beef with this watch is being marketed as the "new" line in 20 something years.Its literally an oversized nautilus, this should be part of the nautilus line.

The Entry Level Rolex is the best Rolex.
>>18285817Patek, in general, just doesn't interest me anymore. Their sizes are all out of whack. They're just adding decorative elements to watches because if they left them plain they'd be too big and empty. Even the Golden Ellipse, which I love, is still way too big.They're obviously not hurting in the sales department but I think that's made them lazy in the design departmentPicrel. The last watch they made I would actually spend money on.
>>18285820I'm 1 month your chink slop will crumble to dust In 1 year your Rolex will need a complete movement swapIn 100 years your G-Shock will need a new strap
>>18285822At that point in history, the entry-level was the Oysterdate or something similar. It had a basic hand-winding movement
>>18285449lol just like a brand selling sellita watches
I miss the blue and red pictures anon with nice shitters bros
>>18285767>So I'll save for the rolex and bug you again in like a month.the correct decision
I don't miss anyone bros in fact I'm just passing by to see if this place is still avatarfag central, I'll try again in a month
>>18285630Yeah I found it in a kinder egg.

>>18285739What's the databank for?
Can someone ID the watch bracelet?
How can people shit on AP for making disney-branded royal copes when rolex has made so many trashy branded models? (Like this one for a now-defunct libyan oil company.)
ffs look at this one
>>18285772I own real estate that costs more than your collection, car, clothes and whores. And I mean nor just one house. So there's that. What a looser. Go fuck yourself.

when you look like a poorfag and you try to flex your safe pater familias real estate investment
I have been patiently waiting for Rolex prices to crash as they have been lately. I don’t own one but I own several other luxury watches and think to myself it’d be nice to be a 2/3 watch collection kind of guy. Seeing this as a potential “out” watch.Any other small premium collection bros out there? How do you do it with a small rotation
>>18285875>>18285876I love these. I almost bought picrel a few months ago.
When you don't own real estate, so you just flex semi luxury watches, clothes and food (lol, lmao even).
>>18285889It's really important to have a Mercedes hood ornament as the hour hand on my watch. It reminds me that I'm rich. Not rich enough to afford a Mercedes, but at least rich enough to look at their logo every time I want to know what time it is.Is anyone else craving domino's?>>18285894ROLEX: the graphic tee of horology.
>>18285883Imagine having a life so empty that you had to flex a whore in a thread about watches. That's not even pathetic, that's just sad.
>>18285875>AP for making disney-branded royal copesSoulless>Rolex trashy branded models >>18285894SOVL
>>18285898>ROLEX: the graphic tee of horology.It was a different time. Back then, companies could buy a bunch of watches, have them signed, and gift them to their employees. Many brands did this. Picrel is a Piaget signed with the logo of some book editing company.

>>18285908>wahhh I have a dainty faggy wrist waahhhhhh ohhhh nooooo nottta bigger watch wahhhhh *pisses and shits pants*
>>18285889I think a collection consisting of a Rolex Explorer I and a Rolex Explorer II would be great. Nice two piece collection. You can add a JLC Reverso or a Tank for a 3 piece collection.
avatard. gtfo.NOW.avatards out!
>>18285913Ok fag
Trannies and gentlemen, I'm about to get picrel and there is nothing you can do about it
>>18285889>Any other small premium collection bros out there? How do you do it with a small rotationEasy. It's so much more convenient. The only thing that you maybe have to deal with is a couple of straps for your dress watch, in case you want to match leathers.Plus, it's more cost effective to have a small number of good pieces vs a large number of mid-tier shitters.(The Speedmaster has since been sold.)
>>18285877>What a looser.maybe you should sell that property and buy an education AAHAHAHAH FAGGOT lmao
>>18285908>>Humiliation Ritual
>>18285926What would you think I could do about it?
This watch costs more than your cappuccino.
>>18285950It has a perpetual calendar.
>>18285915>I think a collection consisting of a Rolex Explorer I and a Rolex Explorer II would be great. Nice two piece collection. You can add a JLC Reverso or a Tank for a 3 piece collection.I think there's a guy ITT who has an Explorer II, Tank and G-Shock as a collectionYou can mix and match pretty much any sports watch-dress watch combination for a pretty ideal two-piece combo as long as the pieces are carefully chosen.You don't even have to spend a ton of money.An Explorer 14270 + Tank Louis Cartier like in >>18285928 would cost you about 12k USD.If you want to go a little cleaper and off the beaten path, something like a Breitling Aerospace or Navitimer and a vintage Piaget would add up to 5-6k USD. 6k may sound like a lot of money to some anons here, but it's 6k and then you're done with watches for the rest of your life.
>>18285928Really, if you think about it, all you need is that Explorer.
>>18285954There is something really comfortable about having a collection of two or three quality watches. When you start accumulating watches, the pieces in the collection lose their impact and become just another item of clothing, like a shirt or a pair of pants.
>>18285941I'll keep the property, thanks.
>>18285978agreed. I have a stainless steel sports watch and am thinking about getting a lange or vacheron, maybe even a moser endeavor. That plus my casio's is all I need
>solar watches last around 10 years because the capacitor dies>10 year battery watches existIs solar just a retarded gimmick?
>>18285894>misaligned lume pipew
>>18285889>Any other small premium collection bros out there?Sure.I can echo what the other guys have been saying. It's much easier and more comfy to have a small number of watches you actually love than have six figures tied up in pieces you never wear.
Bros I have set a budget of $500 to buy my first watch. Anything I should look into? Something that’ll last and can be worn with anything. I’d like a colored face, green or blue if possible. I know nothing about watches. Any good youtube videos I should watch to learn?
>>18285999it's not a capacitor, it's a rechargeable batteryit can last 20+ years if you wear it every day rather than leave it in the dark

>>18286010This shitty thread used to have useful infographics. But they'd be so outdated there's no point. Youtubers are shills and retards except for a small handfull but they won't talk about <$500 stuff.Figure out: do you want quartz or mechanical?Brands to consider: casio, japanese brands like orient and citizen (seiko's become shit for the price), and the chinese brands like san martin.Go have a look and see what styles you like.
Do you guys know of any watches that look really similar to these Samsung ones? Preferably smart watches for health tracking. I love their design but now they've dropped that and switched to copying Apple. I'd also consider automatic watches with similar designs. Thanks.

>>18285460Unironically maybe the best all-around watch ever made, right before Rolex ruined it.
Please rate these watches:>Rolex (OP, Explorer 1, Submariner No-Date)>Cartier (Santos, Ballon Bleu)>Grand Seiko (No date sakura dial, no date spring drives like the Omiwatari)I need help choosing one. I'm kind of a poorfag so need to choose carefully. I want an everyday pretty watch.
>>18286056>Rolex (OP, Explorer 1, Submariner No-Date)The OP is great. Unlike just about every other watch on Earth, it comes in multiple sizes so you can get the absolute perfect fit for your wrist. It's also one of the few Rolexes that is not at all ostentatious.The Explorer is literally just a slightly sportier version of the OP, so if that's what you want, go for it.The Sub is a great watch, but is a little too showy these days, unless you get a vintage 5-digit version. I think it's a little too popular for its own good.>Cartier (Santos, Ballon Bleu)The Santos is an excellent choice for an only watch. They all come with both the bracelet and a leather strap so you can switch between sports watch and dress watch instantly. The Santos is a far more elegant choice than the OP, but it's up to you if you want 'elegant' to be a word used to describe the way you dress.The Ballon Bleu is a very dated 90s design and needs an update badly.>Grand SeikoJust no. Spend enough time around watch enthusiasts and you'll realize pretty quickly that you don't want to be a Grand Seiko owner. And normies will just think you're a retard for spending over 500 bucks on a Seiko.
>>18286056everyone but the sub is a gay one, but that might appeal to youand the sub is also gay because no date, but the symmetry might be better, still pretty gay though
>>18286060*The Ballon Bleu is a very dated 00s design(Typo)
Got myself a fake Explorer (the model from 20 or so years ago), I'm done with watches. See you suckers.
>>18286061What's a non-gay watch according to you? I personally prefer no-date since it looks cleaner.
>>18285825>The last watch they made I would actually spend money onDoesn't even look good except for the size. Kek.
Thread full of toxic chronic retards as always.
>>18286070If you think this is a bad /wt/, you haven't been here very long. This is about as good as the thread gets.Just wait until the "regulars" show up.
>>18286066classic, probably sporty, will hold value, will signal status, probably boringfor a poorfag I would be sweating ass buying something sussy like a cartier or a gs, even the lesser rolexesthe sports rolex you know you can flip easily, I hope, if you want to later for whatever reasonI guess there is always pawn shops though, stillidk I'm not even a real watch person
>>18286074If I say "as always" it's because I know what I'm talking about, you fucking brainlet.
>>18286085sounds like you're the "toxic chronic retard" you're bitching about
sigh...another retard faggot poo flinging episode
>>18286090Anyone but me is a toxic chronic retard when I'm on /fa/. Too many times I have interacted with bastards, I only want revenge.
is the gmt2 better than the sub desk diver and less gay as the quintessential sports rolex? plus it's more blingyis a full divers extension really needed?also is the monotone black on black gmt gay? I feel like it having a two tone bezel helps and is a classic thing for gmtare luxury watches inherently gay?discuss
>>18286098All modern rolexes are gay and ugly. Look at those fucking fat numbers for the love of God.
>it's realbut why?
>>18286113>gl*ckcall me when H&K releases a watch
>>18286116Way ahead of you, buddy.
>>18286116kekthis shit is so retarded, most of the watches on here cost more than a lot of glock handgunshonestly if they tried making low-end gshock competitors (DW-5600, GWM5610, G5600E) id actually be interestedbut nah
>>18286120guns are a cheap hobby compared to being a watch consumer
>>18286121true, truestill, i think it's silly for a company like glock (that's known for its relatively inexpensive polymer-framed pistols) to do stuff like this>>18286119 is a lot more reasonable, H&K products are known for being a bit expensive already, it makes sense.
Isn't it funny when that shitter faggot retard pretends on being a intellectual? lmfao

>>18286129Learn English and then you can start posting, third world monkey.
Hello /fa/ I never post here. I bought a G Shock GA900A-1a9 from an jewelers online store and the bastards cancelled my order because they didn't have it in stock. So I had to order it from a different store. I know it's autismus maximum but I do not care, I work in the concrete industry it will fit right in anyway. I'll probably buy more of specifically these sperg watches, my search for my first g shock showed me many that appealed to me, I would like to one day have the honor of spending $2000 on the most hideous piece of shit anyone has ever seen. Thanks for reading my blog.
>>18286155Your point?
>>18286158>0 argumentsI have clearly won
>>18286008Respectable collection bro
>>18286056My choice is the explorer 1 to rule them all if I had to chooseThe cartiers are nice but they really only shine in a multi watch collection and grand seiko the same I just don’t see them as everyday watches
the ocean of piss....
Is Omegay telling me that if I remove the bezel I'm no longer a sea master and I become a master of the rail? The fuck is the reasoning here?
>>18286010Casio Oceanus T200 is one of the best watches you can get in that price bracket, and comes in both of the colours you'd like.
>>18286172>the ocean of piss....but enough about your mattress.
>>18286155>I would like to one day have the honor of spending $2000 on the most hideous piece of shit anyone has ever seenWhich one would it be?
>>18286174>Is Omegay telling me that if I remove the bezel I'm no longer a sea master and I become a master of the rail? The fuck is the reasoning here?The Railmaster did not have the water resistance of the Seamaster but did have the Faraday shielding against magnetism.It's no different than the Sub and the Milgauss.
>>18286174railmasters are hella based
>>18286181>The Railmaster did not have the water resistance of the Seamaster but did have the Faraday shielding against magnetism.So, again, what makes it a watch for masters of the railway?
>>18286179
>>18286189kys
>>18286188Diesel electric trains of the era used relatively low voltage DC systems which generated considerable magnetic fields. Someone working with them was at risk of magnetizing their watch.
>>18286192Kek. Horology memes are some serious intellectual wonders. Thank you.
>>18286201Even just in general, working around electrical equipment and computers and stuff, as almost everyone does in some capacity, it's a good idea to have some magnetic resistance in your watch. Most people will just wear an electronic watch and it's not an issue. But the swiss boys need some help.
>>18286060ballon bleu looks hella gay on a guy, saw them twice and both dudes looked like basedjaks
Eh, thought I’d contribute. Some I was assed enough to get out of the closet.
>>18285781That watch you posted costs 7K here. You're acting like there aren't 1000000 (1mil) Rolexes produced every year.
>>18285877Not you, you inherited it. I build everything by myself. And it's probably in the US so there's niggs around.
>>18286244Ok and? You didn't have a father? Lollll???
>>18286249kek.I'm going to Tokyo next weekend again @allI still didn't quite understand which rolex GMT to get, any suggestions? Should it be a sub? These are a bit pricey at around 2-2.5mil though. But if it's my last watch, it's not a bad deal. Explorers don't do it for me because of the size and how plain-ish they look but they're Extremely cheap there, talking $4-5K(Posting shoes that cost more than your Cats monthly food.)
>>18286252Fuck off fatherless retard???
>>18286257Hey I'm on the train, let me kill some time.But the question was serious.I'd like to hear your guys' opinions.
>>18286244I inherited some attitude towards life, but no real estate. And no, I'm not in the USA. There are some kind of niggers around tho. Anyway, it doesn't take much to own property which costs more than your collection. How much does it cost? 50k? 70k tops? One (1) house costs more than that. So why are you always saying 'my collection costs more than your father's car' or things like that? Do you think that means something? Are you really that pathetic that you measure everything in the cost of goods? Why do you feel the need to present to all here the incredible value of your pair of shoes?
>>18286189Based
>>18286262Our honest opinion is you should kill yourself. Do you aver think how happy must your ex wife be without you? God, she dodged some heavy bullet there. Your life is really going down.
>>18286263>"some kind of niggers around tho"I don't know why but this made me chuckle. The funny part is, I can distinguish Nigerians from the rest because I got a few Nigerian friends. The RatFaced-Kind are Moroccans afaik.
>>18286263>"Why do you feel the need to present to all here the incredible value of your pair of shoes?"Cause I grew up poor and I'm happy to own useless luxury stuff like that now. It reminds me that my worst days are behind me.Now why do I post these things here? Don't know, it's 4chan. There doesn't have to be a reason for everything one does.Sushi Time.
>>18286252If it's between sub and gmt, you have to ask yourself which one looks better in your eyes when it's on your wrist. I already have a few dive watches, so I'd go GMT, but for me the GMT function is useless, hence why I don't own one yet. Have you tried on either? Also the newer ones look and wear larger...sometimes it looks wrong on the wrist if you're used to the older (i.e. pre-Maxicase ones). Given you have the Tudor, why not go GMT for some variety?
>>18286269I'm good at distinguishing different kind of south American niggers.
>>18286263>Are you really that pathetic that you measure everything in the cost of goods?What else would you measure it in? Do you live in some kind of utopia where I can recite a poem to the baker and get bread? Where is this, I want to move.
>>18286273I tried on the explorer II (?), it was an early 2000s model iirc. It actually fit well even on my 16cm wrist. Liked the white dial too, but the bracelet killed it for me, it felt week and very thin. He wanted ¥800K for it which is around 4800€
>>18286271>It reminds me that my worst days are behind me.If you keep down this path, I can assure you your worst days are ahead. If you were really happy with your life, you wouldn't be blogging about it in 4chan of all places. Look around, nobody here is doing that but you. It's, like some anon said, watching your downfall in real time.
>>18286276This one. Loved the readability too. Honestly thinking back, I should've bought it and just change the bracelet. I was afraid it would be some model nobody wanted with a fault movement or something, because I didn't do any research beforehand.
>>18286276It's not the same really, due to the colour scheme, the thickness, etc. One can debate the watches to the end of time, but ultimately it's what looks good to your eyes and feels great on wrist that matters. The old Pepsi (i.e. 90s era) was woefully boring, and the same era Subs seemed...boring. Maybe it's because the indices were too small, the bracelets too fragile-feeling, etc. Now everything looks out of proportion chunky, like the submariner-class of watches are all overweight. We will never get back to the slimness of the painted-index days...
>>18286281I disagree, I think you can be happy and post/blog on 4chan at the same time.And the downfall you're talking about, what exactly is it? I'm just a guy who moved to a different country and tries its food, studies the language and works. It's very plain.
>>18286284Slim watches are coming back, that's how I see it at least. Thanks for your input btw.
>>18286275Needing money to buy stuff does not mean it's the measure of everything. How much does it cost to be loved? (not by a prostitute btw). How much would you pay for some peace of mind? Also, you can be with a person just because you like his/her company, not because how much the clothes costs. It's ridiculous to have to explain this.
>>18286288You make fun of people because you think you own more expensive stuff. Didn't you learn anything from being poor before?
>>18286290Good luck, and let us know what happens. I too have been considering finally getting a good double-red Seadweller, but I can't find one in the condition I want, and the ones I know of that are excellent are not going to be sold anytime soon. So, Rolex must wait. You'd be surprised how much the colours of the bezel mess around with your perception of the size of the watch...that's why trying them on in person matters. Even a change between a root-beer vs. a Starbucks is noticeable...
>>18286202Almost all watches have been antimagnetic for 6 decades, you fucking moron. Calling a watch "le railmaster" is utterly retarded. Italian brand Perseo had a watch line called Railking but because it was actually the watch given to the national railway personnel. Any other reason for such a name is larp.
>>18286296You're right about that, no really. some one said the other thread that you don't know what some might be going through in life rn and the last thing they need/want to see is someone flaunting their "wealth". I will minimize it going forward, at least I will try.Anyway I'm off the train now. >>18286297>You'd be surprised how much the colours of the bezel mess around with your perception of the size of the watch.Literally never thought about that, interesting.
>>18286252>>18286262>>18286271>>18286276Kill yourself you fucking disgusting roach.
>>18285573>>18285580>>18285583>>18285587>>18285658I found my people <3
>>18286292>How much does it cost to be loved?Depends on what you're starting with but basically as much as you need to get a full head of hair, above average height, above average penis, above average muscles, above average car, above average apartment and country house, and an above average social status. If you have all that, and you don't have to worry about income like poor people, you will be genuinely loved.
>>18286270I would know.
>>18286320No to all.
>>18286326Well sucks to be you then.
>>18286332Post a picture of yourself with timestamp. C'mon, do it, be brave.
>>18286332I mean, you don't need all that to be loved. I know it because I genuinely love people who does not have all that.
