hello
Good luck, Frens...I hope this is a great thread! If you've gotten your grail, wear it with pride. If you haven't gotten your grail yet, keep working hard for it until it is on your wrist.
>>18286377Underrated
Are smart watches worth it for body builders? Galaxy watch in particular.
>>18286373>$40does it really look that good?
>>18286373Nice Cubitus.
>>18286400PP bros....our response?
>>18286387Fucking hilarious. Try to put on pic related next time, maybe it's gonna fit.

I thought "wow the chinks work quick" but realized that no, they had already made this shit and it's pathek filthleep that ripped them off.
Rolex on my wristPfeizer in my armIsrael in my heart
Am I the only person that feels like having lume on a high-end watch (or any "grown up" watch for that matter) is akin to a child's watch? Do women not get the ick when they see you on a night out and your wrist is glowing neon green? Only acceptable use would be on an ACTUAL diver's watch where it can be pitch black underwater and they actually need to see the time because it can be a life or death situation.
>>18286459no>womenwho cares
50 phantoms is back.
>>18286459Of course, a steel sports watch should have luminescent hour markers and hands. Their main function is to make reading time easier. Gran Seiko sports watches with exquisite dials and indexes typical of a dress watch are of no use in a sports watch.
>>18286373how does skmei sell 5600 clones for 1 dollarkind of impressive ngl50m water resistance I get but still>>18286459>wake up in the middle of the night and need time>can't see time on analog because lume ran out>need a full digi>a full digital is the only logical watch to ownit's over again

>>18286387why are Omega watches so ridiculously thick?
Thoughts?
>>18286474which?
>>18286492I would rather die than wear that monstrosity.
>>18286474>>18286492>>18286504I hate millenials and their stupid irony so fucking much.
I love rolex, but why do they never do what their fans want? Talk to any person that likes rolex, they’ll tell you their favorite model from 10-20+ years ago. Everyone wants a vintage model (pic related), modern maxi shit sucks
>>18286514They sell 1.2 millions watches a year, I think they're doing alright.Also their fans arent a monolithic group.
>>18286387Thank you for the OP, OmegaChad. Wearing my grail right now. Wish you a good day, fren.
>>18286517Yeah they’re doing fine and will continue doing so, but have you ever heard anyone say they like the latest rolex offerings compared to vintage stuff? Everyone I’ve spoken to has an old rolex dream watch, a 1016 or a stoneface datejust from the 90s or something.
sure smells esra eel in here
>>18286514because the enthusiast who is active in online watch forums is not the average Rolex customer, they are probably less than 0,01% of watch buyersthe average Rolex buyer does not care about vintage models and just wants a big, flashy watch to flex on other people
>>18286520Did a bit of research on that model. Is it true that it has a perpetual calendar?And also, it seems to me that it's 100% made in japan.
>>18286559>Is it true that it has a perpetual calendar?Unfortunately no. Calendar watches display the date, day and month and my Citizen only displays the date. >And also, it seems to me that it's 100% made in japan.It's made in China, fren.Anyway, I'm off to sucking nigger cocks. Have a great week-end fren.
13mins to post on one board. Nother boards broken this ones full of rolex resellers.Yeah this sites in trouble.
>>18286512>zero fun allowed, be miserable like me
Ok, since we are posting Skmeis. I had to buy this (for my kid).
>>18286474>>18286492>>18286504There are some people who want to turn watches into some kind of Funko Pop collection.
>>18286548>because the enthusiast who is active in online watch forums is not the average Rolex customer, they are probably less than 0,01% of watch buyersThis is something the terminally online don't understand: rolex makes more datejusts and op's yearly than all the professional line models, that "enthusiasts" all soiface over, put together. Ask some rando to think of a rolex and they'll describe a dj with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Core demographic is white collar middle to upper middle income office workers who want wrist jewelry and who've never heard the terms submariner, gmt master or daytona before. I went to europe last year on business and accompanied the tasteless fuck I travelled with to the city's LV boutique. The old bird that was the store manager that attended us was wearing a ladies dj. The other wagies op's. Shit even the old business class cabin steward wore a stretched to shit old twotone dj he probably got 20 years ago.I see dj or op's all the time on accountants and lawyers but I've rarely seen pro line models in the wild in a work setting.
>>18286514I think a perpetual calendar in a 36mm gold oyster case with the president bracelet would be a great idea. It's not a watch I would buy myself, but I would love to see something like that exist.
>>18286483>>You wake up in the middle of the night.>>You check the time on your phone.what kind of sick fuck falls asleep with the phone on a designated place within reaching distance?a more likely scenario is you fumble around and you can't find the shit because the phoon has slid around and disappeared somewhereeven worse maybe totally discharged and you are fuckedthat's a scenario why I would need my watch on me 247the next scenario is during a shower to check timepretty much the only other two scenarios where I feel the need of a watchand also day to day if you start pulling up your pocket watch thousand times starts get tiring, also during rain and trying to view the phoon, because you did not overpay for ip rating your phoon is fucking up due to the raindropsplus you can't jockomaxx with a analog, gotta wake up at 4am and press the EL backlight>>18286514they don't wanna become AP and do spiderman watches>>18286530vintage rolexes are shitters, rattly hollow oyster bracelets are for brainletspaying overprice for old "vintage" ones when the new ones for the same price are superior is not a smart moveonly you people here the 0.1% watch autists want vintage shit>>18286600>Ask some rando to think of a rolex and they'll describe a dj with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet.I did not even know what a datejust was in the beginningI knew what sub,gmt, daytona wasI had no clue about non sportsmaybe cause I'm from the hood of a first world country, nobody wore anything but sports>I see dj or op's all the time on accountants and lawyers but I've rarely seen pro line models in the wild in a work setting.I've only ever seen sports in the wild either, but I don't hang around normal iq people either
Do you guys know an alternative to this watch?I love the gradient dial, it reminds me of a bottle of Dior Faranheit, but 40mm too big for me.
>>18286504eh *roll eyes*
I'm desperate for Casio to make an MIP watch but with good battery lifeIf they did this it would really be the perfect watch readable in all conditions And it's odd they haven't done this since Casio loves negative LCDs
>perpetual calendar Until you have to replace the mechanism
Patek really fucked up with this one.
>>18286630They should have seen it coming. Plenty of square Nautilus homages already existed. Like someone else said in a previous thread, though, these will all sell out. Patek's current sales success is making their design department complacent.
The Armed ForcesUse G-Shocks Don't use RolexThat's all I need to know
>>18286631Exactly. The same happened with rainbow Rolexes and now they are the most desired of that brand.
>>18286643Fuck the armed forces and fuck the state
>>18286643Golem-ShocksGood Goys-Shocks
>>18286630I just think that we're too poor to understand
>>18286606>vintage rolexes are shitters, rattly hollow oyster bracelets are for brainletsThis is the sad reality that everyone in this thread wants to forget. The proportions of a vintage Rolex are perfect, they are beautiful watches and look great in photos, but when you have a modern Rolex with a modern bracelet... there is no turning back.
>>18286631>these will all sell outI won't rull out the possibility the Cubitus flops. Just because it says "Patek" on the dial doesn't mean this shitter will be a hit. Plenty of Pateks are available at ADs and sell under MSRP on C24. Patek isn't immune to failure. Who remembers the Neptune? Also the Cubitus is like 2 years late. The fad for integrated bracelet sports watches is dying (thank God) and collectors/investors are now shilling small dress watches. And finally, the watch is poorly received to say the least. Obviously some richtards from Dubai would buy anything from Patek, but I really doubt there will be years long waitlists for a watch that's universally mocked, even by fucking Hodinkee.
>>18286658It could flop, but I don't think it will. It will probably be produced in small enough numbers that demand stays high. Patek knows what they're doing when it comes to market manipulation.>Who remembers the Neptune?I liked it, but I like kooky 90s designs.I don't actually know if it was a flop. Can you say that a watch that was never intended to be a pillar collection is a flop? I don't think anyone has any documentation from the period showing Patek intended to sell X many units of the collection. Like, if Patek redesigned the Calatrava and sales cratered, THAT would be a flop.Sometimes, I think we get too fixated on sales numbers as a way to confirm that our opinions agree with the hivemind.

Anyone else notice how the quality of these threads dropped by a large margin ever since whoretadello left?We used to joke /wt/ stands for whoretadello's thread, but little did we know that actually was the case. In the good old days whoretadello and other avatarfrens discussed watches and made fun, quality posts in harmony with regular users. /wt/ actually was a comfy and meaningful place with its own identity.All this eventually turned to shit when bittercel started his relentless smear campaign. I suppose the only actual reason for that was his jealousy of whoretadello's wealth and social relationships. His mind turned his hard earned wealth into "tax fraud, inheritance money and liquidating his entire networth" and his relationships became nothing more than prostitution and human trafficking.I am sad that he left, but I understand his reasons. Eventually the smear would've gotten to him and affect his cheerful view of life in general. He did the right thing seeking better, more successful people and I don't blame him.I guess all good things come to an end and I want to thank you for the good times we had, in whoretadello's thread.
>>18286474so glad I ended up not falling for it last timeit would legit still sit in the box with the stickers on by nowwhy did they remove the no feet too it was the best part of the joke

>>18286673
>>18286677I like it too but it's a rather mundane design. It kind of makes me think of these early 2000s JLC soulless watches right after Richemont bought the company.
he's back!!!! based
>>18286684who cares lmfao nerdget a life, oh wait... lol
>>18286687How's your saturday going anon?
>>18286684>It kind of makes me think of these early 2000s JLC soulless watchesIt really does, I'd still pick it in a heartbeat over any nautilus model, must be pure contrarianism on my part
>>18286691Youd seriously take that Maen ripoff over a Nautilus?
>>18286692we're talking about the neptune, not the cubitusI'm also confused with everyone keeps referencing the maen when it's already a homage watch of a VC
>>18286672bottom of the barrel corporate initiative for multinational fast food slop has soul because... it happened before my birth
>>18286694>NeptuneI like those 1990s watches and their techno-organic shapes.I'm hesitant to buy them because I don't want to risk getting a beat-up shitter or a franken.There's a couple that are posted in the thread every now and it makes me check C24 every time, like the anon with the VC Phidias or the one with the Ebel Wave.I hope the style comes back someday.

>>18286707>Yeah, he wanted to take a picture with my watch. His? Nah, it was some shitty Seiko. I dunno. Seriously, it was the most uncomfortable moment of my life. This grown-ass man, obviously hasn't showered in days, is having dinner with a stuffed animal and starts trying to speak Japanese at me. I could barely make out what he was saying. He was just babbling like a retard and pointing at my watch.
>>18286707Stop bothering people, you pest. That includes IRL and ITT.
>>18286624Casio makes some truly bizarre decisions with their watch designs and I say this as a Casio fan. Like you said, not producing a longer battery life watch given their fondness for negative lcds. Their 'retro' watches are always missing some key feature to make them truly great. They finally make a fully stainless one with the A1000 but it's only waterproof to 30m. Then they make the A1100 but it doesn't have a 24 hour format.
>>18286707https://youtu.be/rILKm-DC06A?feature=shared
This watch sold for like 8k just 3 years ago lmao
>>18286459Dude I have the James Bond logo plastered all over mine who gives a fuck.
Ahhh the sun.I am quite enjoying the DW-90xx format from G-Shock. I think I'll replace this second hand DW-9050 with a DW-9052, which has a stopwatch, Chrono beyond just one hour and that neat light blue looking complication in the middle.
I love it when girls wear oversized g shocks, especially japanese girls
>>18286459>Am I the only person that feels like having lume on a high-end watch (or any "grown up" watch for that matter) is akin to a child's watch?depends on the lume. Little dots at the indices like a DJ is fine.HUGE GLOWING NUMERALS like a Panerai is a little childish.

The new Sub looks good, now that the King has abandoned the Maxi case, a bit bigger than I would like, but I really like it, it looks like a slightly larger preceramic. Rolex should do the same with the GMT.

>>18286728>HUGE GLOWING NUMERALS like a Panerai is a little childish.It's not childish in the slightest. Quite the opposite in fact: it's perfect for their core buyer demographic of geriatrics whose eyes are ailing. It was boomers and guidos that fell for the panameme 15 years ago, and it's only old men who continue to wear those watches now.It's an expensive version of the timex easy reader.
>>18286863lol, Sylvester Stallone said exactly that in the 90s.>It's perfect for guys who need reading glasses.

>timex easy readerThe perfect watch with the loudest mechanism available and the cheapest materials possible
>>18286459Not really.I don't particularly care about lume anymore.When I was younger, if a watch had bad lume, that was it. Straight into the bin.My tastes have changed and now I mostly wear dressier watches that either have zero lume or very small amounts. I've found that it doesn't matter because I'm never wearing a dress watch in a place where there's no possibility of artificial light. That's what a G-Shock is for.
>>18286700
>>18286694My bad, I read the thread but thiught you were referencing the Cubitus. Yeah the Neptune is pretty sweet.>>18286696I think its more that it was sold the to companies at their request to give to employees. Rolex wasnt creating these and selling them to at boutiques. AP RO is creating capeshit and selling it to anyone with enough money. I dont know how you cant see the difference here. One is a bit of a historical relic and the other for marvel babies.
>>18286954>I dont know how you cant see the difference here.It's called arguing in bad faith.

I actually assembled the custom watch to test features I might want to pay for and now I'm avoiding anything smaller than 38mm and flashy bezels. I don't like automatics because I have to manually wind them anyway. Even the date window is only marginally useful for me.What watch-related shenanigans have you been up to anon?

>>18287015It's a fine watch. Very few people will notice it. Almost no one will recognize it as a movie watch. Who gives a fuck what the bitterkids here think of it? Unless you go to India, you'll never run into them anyway.

But they also wanted it to be recognized by their peers. A fine timepiece was not a discreet, ‘only I know its value’, other women had to recognize it ”

However with the ratio of non-pro models dealers at least claim to receive from rolex monthly vs. the number of claimed subs/pro models (eg. in a shipment they may claim that they only receive 2 subs in a shipment of 10 DJ's, Oysters etc., at least a few years ago) then there's probably more DJ's sold than any other rolex and there's more variants of that model than any other one they make. Here's an estimation some guy made. Estimation because rolex doesn't release such figures so people have to find roundabout ways of calculating this. It was collated before the hard figures released in the Submariner Book came to light so I don't know how those might affect this estimation from 2021. It may not be accurate at all but it fits with what has generally been observed.
>>18287233https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhW9ZER5eQsEN subs.The only chinese things are probably the silicon straps/buckles on some of the newer models that you can buy for spares and in previous years meranom would have special editions made that had some dials or cases and bracelets made in china. Those were not the mainline models of classic amphibia/komandirskies and they don't get SE's made anymore.

Will a 36mm look ridiculous on my wrist? Between 7.25-7.5 inch wrist
>>18287281No.
>>18287281get a man sized watch. 36mm watches are for the fags on here
Are sports watches dead? Or rather, has the G-Shock and the Garmin supplanted it?A dress watch does what it's supposed to do: look elegant. A sports watch is now just a hollow signifier of a lifestyle the wearer wants to brag about. "Oh, do I dive? Yeah. How did you guess? Oh, my dive watch. Haha, duh. I forgot I was wearing it."
>>18287322No. Just because I play polo once in a while doesn't account for me owning a Reverso.>though it is fun to play with it on.

We live in a society that is perpetually fighting against beauty, that ugly 45mm PP is a symbol of our times. I don't intend to accept that, fuck everyone, by the way, today I'm wearing a 36mm watch.
>>1828763936mm cubitus could have been based.
>>18287650Maybe not 36mm but with how the back looks, it's clear there's a lot of spacing rings and case thickness when you see the movement relative to the rest.It could have been smaller.And maybe it should.
i was wearing my Panerai Radiomir whilst shitting and during the act of wiping my ass i got mustard in my watch, would I have to disclose this when I resell it?
>>18286369Hello Frens. I am still undecided between an Omega Speedmaster and Tudor Pelagos 39mm Thank you for reading my blog post, I also have crippling depression and anxiety.
>>18287660Deciding between a Chinese watch and a Tudor should be an obvious choice
>>18287663Yes.Get an IWC instead of either.
>>18287663With the lack of regulation around Swiss made, I am assuming Tudor is open to the same critique as the Omega?
>>18287663So, deciding between a Chinese and a Chinese watch?
>>18287666They all are.It's only rolexbrained drones who think their guys are above it when there is no guarantee of it. Unless there is a Geneva Seal or a Fleurier Seal, you should automatically assume that the 60-40 Swiss Made rule is being used and that the case, bracelet and dial (which are not included in the Swiss Made value quota) are made in Asia.
It's really interesting to see how that new Patek is universally hated on watches websites, forums and social medias. Sure the watch is ugly but it's just a variation of the Nautilus and the thousandth Genta-like shitter released over the past few months. Is it more offensive than the Zenith Defy Extreme Diver presented earlier this year? I really don't think so. I've seen dozens of comments mocking the Cubitus for (supposedly) being a mix of the Nautilus and the Cartier Santos, two watches considered as icons by watchnerds. This watch has all the ingredients to be loved, but somehow the recipe doesn't work. It's like people are suddenly fed up of this specific kind of watches and the Cubitus is being ritually humiliated and tortured on the town's main square for everyone to see.
>>18287660I'm not a chronograph guy but I think I prefer the omega. The hands on the Tudor are... too bulky?A tough choice in any case.
>>18287678I think I like the aesthetic of the omega better, but it is hot as fuck where I live, so the smaller size, bracelet adjustability and lighter titanium are a plus
If only there was a surefire way to determine whether a watch was truly made in Switzerland.....
>>18287684It does. It's called Rolex.
>>18287689But it says "swiss made" on the dial :(
>>18287691Yes, and Rolex is 100% swiss made. They even have their own foundry in Plan-les-Ouates.
>>18287673To be honest, all sports watches with integrated bracelets are quite ugly. Although the Royal Oak Jumbo looks great in my opinion, I also like the VC 222. It is time to say that the original Nautilus is a very ugly watch and looks like a discarded RO design.There is an overexploitation of sports watches with integrated bracelets, the market is saturated. Every month a microbrand comes out with its own interpretation of the Genta watch.It is true. Patek is the scapegoat. People expect more from PP than from a microbrand.
>>18287693I see. This doesn't change the fact that McDonald's cashiers wear one though. I'd rather have something exclusive and not something that screams>"I'm a vaxxed sheep and didn't do any research and went with the flow"but that might just be me.
>>18287698Yes, it's just you.The cashier made the right decision.Enjoy your Moser, don't look for validation, just enjoy your watch.
>>18287696>It is time to say that the original Nautilus is a very ugly watch and looks like a discarded RO design.I think it looks bad by itself but pretty good on the wrist. I prefer it to the Royal Oak actually.
>>18287701Is he in the room with us right now?
>>18287711I don't think /wt/ will ever recover even if wt stops posting for years
>>18287712Nature recovers faster than you think. Within a few weeks, there'll just be a few memes about Greeks pretending to be white or an anon trying to impress a prostitude. Within a few months, only Loretadello will remember.
>>18287673Its because the Nautilus is a top 5 watch design of all time and they just made ot worse in every way.
>>18287707Yes, it looks pretty ugly, but at the same time it's beautiful in a strange way. But I always get the feeling when I see it that the RO is the right design, that the Nautilus and the Ingenieur are discarded designs.
>>18287711Yes, he is in the room, by the way, he is fucking your girlfriend, because she is a whore.

What’s the cheapest automatic movement that can reliably be regulated to COSC standard and fuckin stay regulated? My experience with Seiko is that it’s all over the place - one week its +2 spd, the next week it goes to +12 spd for not particular reason. Are Citizen movements better in that regard? Or I need to go with ETA?
>>18287734Based RentFreeChad.So I've decided that I need a russian watch.I only know of Raketa.Any other brand?https://www.chrono24.com/raketa/copernicus--id34919512.htm?searchHash=4ef62986_3UJ5Oh&pos=2
>>182877539039 from what i've read. But it's a bitch to regulate.
>>18287753Had the same experience with you. Normal seikos got garbage movements. What about a used Tudor? What's your budget?I guess you gotta go selita.
>>18287756Obvious Bocтoк
>>18287753It depends on your budget. My advice is to only buy high-end, accurate automatic mechanical watches. Never buy a cheap mechanical watch. My standard is to only buy automatic watches with an accuracy of +- 2 per day. If you are on a tight budget, buy an ultra-accurate quartz watch. Citizen is far ahead of Seiko these days.
>>18287762The only watch that's truly been to space
>>18287762this is 24hr movt?
>>18287782Yes.
>>18287529It gets squirrelly around 5 6 and 7 but the other markers actually line up pretty clearly.
>>18287612That also explains the obsession with carbon fiber.
someone recommend me a nice looking dress watch, as cheap as possible, quartz (anything else is shit)

which ap is this
>>18287673>>18287696>>18287707>>18287717The Royal Oak looks like a G-Shock GA series, the Nautilus looks like a G-Shock Square. Honestly the only correct consequent take is the following:G-Shock Square > PP NautilusAP Royal Oak > G-Shock GA series
