>>18287961>vintageokay!>>18287978Go for it, Credorchad! Just be sure to try on the watches at different states of mental awareness and mood...you'd be surprised how a small flaw that can be overlooked when happy becomes a deal-breaker when aggravated.

>>18287955Nice Casio anon.>>18287968Its a basic dependable Casio -- think of it as an iteration of the F91W. Does not have a timer, but does have a 1h stopwatch, and tells the time with a full calendar.The styling is on the quirky side, but if you like it, go for it. As a general rule, avoid negative display Casios as they can be difficult to read. I think the one with the classic styling (black case and band) looks the best, but that is up to your taste.
>>18287978>PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I JUST WANT TO BE ACCEPTED, I'LL BUY A ROLEX IF I HAVE TO EVEN THOUGH I HATE THEIR WATCHES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I JUST WANT TO BE LIKED, MY FATHER NEVER SAID HE LOVED ME WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO BE LOVED WAAAAAH WAAAAAH WAAAAAAHWhy are you like this?

18287989I love new people. What watch are you sporting today, lad?>>18287993My only experience is with the ones from the 90's; they were not in such high demand then, and the reality of how boring they were was reinforced by the fact that I've never wanted to re-buy them, even for nostalgia sake. I find the new ones post-maxicase to be proportionally damaged, so no matter what, they'll never look right to me. I'm glad they increased the size of the lume pips though...that helps. If you want a sub, then just go grey market and get a stainless steel with date; if you get the no-date, you'll be happy with the dial symmetry but eventually miss the date that 'should come with the watch'. If you get the GMT, search for a pepsi, because all other designs are just copes for not being able to get one. Pepsis are at the top of the hierarchy of desire for a reason.If you're like me though, you'd be attracted to oddities like the left-hand drive GMT or the modern Seadweller....but I won't get either due to the movement that could shit the bed at any moment. Rolex is a tough call these days, and they haven't made their watches more desirable, or justified the AD hell that people go through to get the actual watch they actually want. If you really wanted to be happy with a Rolex, go Day-Date in yellow gold or Daytona in stainless steel; you'd have to buy both grey market, but they'd cost less than what you'd spend at an AD. What do you think?
>>18287993Wait for the Cubitus GMT.It's in the pipes.

So I’ve decided to sell 3 watches and keep these 2 that I wear 90% of the time. I really love that small Vacheron, it’s a bit ugly but fun and surprisingly accurate for a 60 years old watch. And the Explorer is by far my favorite watch. The ones I’m selling: Rolex GMT master 2 from the late 90s, JLC Master Control Date and Omega Chronostop. My short term goal is to get a perpetual calendar, most likely a Patek 3940 or maybe a Breguet.Thank you for reading my blog.
>>18288010I actually like the design language of the cubitus. The more I look at it, the more I understand it.>>18288009As always, thank you for your well thought out reply.>but I won't get either due to the movement that could shit the bed at any moment.That was exactly my biggest fear and reason why I didn't get the explorer that I liked so much. Anything else to look out for?
>>18288018Is that the original strap on the VC?
>>18288023No, and please fuck off. I dont like you.
>>18288020>anything else to look out forIf I were buying, here's what I'd have as a strategy:1) if it's the 33xx movements, then buy new or full set with intentions to service the watch with Rolex immediately; you'll want to do this in case the watch fails within the warranty period. Buy from a trusted source, as Rolex will confiscate a fake and you'll lose your watch and money. You will want the full set because today everyone has a full set, which means if you have to sell, your lack of full set makes a highly-copied watch appear more suspect on the grey market.2) If you are going pre-33xx movements with superluminova, then buy from a trusted source and do the same (i.e. get it serviced from Rolex pronto and aim for full set). It will be reliable and work beautifully.3) if you go vintage (pre-superluminova), you'll have to get it serviced by a trusted independent because Rolex replaces old dials and hands with new ones, fucking over the value of the watch. You'll have to do this throughout the entire ownership, so have a trusted independent watchmaker available and handy. Also - do NOT get this watch near water.Those are the only things I can think of at the moment. The watches you are looking out for have so many small variations which affect desirability that you'll want to do a shit-tonne of research before deciding on a model; after that, you'll have to wade through the listings for trusted sources, condition of the watch, etc. You're in Japan, so that's great - they have very strict laws regarding counterfeit goods, so I'd trust buying from a brick-and-mortar there without hesitation. I wouldn't buy private sale at all.There's a second-hand watch shopping district, I can't remember the name of it now, but just go there and try on as many variations of the watches you like, both new and vintage - see what looks great on your wrist and what looks awful. cont.
>>18288026Figured yeah, it looked very new.Nice choice man.
>>18288026BASED.
>>18288009>but they'd cost less than what you'd spend at an ADare you posting from 1980? the daytona goes for 2x msrp on the grey market and has so for more than a decade
>>18288020>>18288030cont.When you try them on, you can see what kind of bracelet you like as well (do you need on-the-fly adjustment?). The watches are great daily-wears, but you'll have to keep your eyes open for pickpockets in this day and age for those watches. Finally, accept that owning a Rolex will satisfy the itch to own a Rolex, but nothing more than that. Once you understand the feeling that a Rolex gives (i.e. reliability and social cred but average design), your eyes may gravitate towards more interesting things (like your Credor, which is far more interesting by comparison). There is a reason I sold my Sub after 6 months, and my GMT-II after 2 (though that was because the GMT function was proven useless to me).Good luck!
>>18288035And how much money do you need to spend at your AD to be allocated a stainless steel daytona? >precisely.
>>18288032How does he do it?
>>18288030Poah, Rolex ownership sounds like a hussle, not very Luxury-Like some might say.You probably mean Nakano Broadway. Yeah I might drop by on my next visit to Tokyo.I didn't understand any pros and cons of pre/post 33xx movement. Honestly, I'll just go and try on a bunch that I like, take some pics, do some research and then go and buy it.
>>18288018>Patek 3940My ideal collection is an Explorer and that Patek, we have very similar taste.
look at those ugly shitter lugs lmfao
>>18288036>(do you need on-the-fly adjustment?).That would be amazing yes. Pickpockets? Where?>Finally, accept that owning a Rolex will satisfy the itch to own a Rolex, but nothing more than that. That's probably a redpill that not many want to swallow.>There is a reason I sold my Sub after 6 months, and my GMT-II after 2 Got any pics left of those?And thanks for appreciating my Credor(s). They're not for everyone, and that's goood.>>18288039Bro just download Bumble. The likes drop like crazy.
The new Patek seems uglier to me every time.
>>18288043Thanks bro. I’ve had many watches and the Explorer is by far my absolute favorite. I still need to try a 3940.
>>18288047What do you think of explorer II compared to a gmt master?
>>18288040It is a hustle today, to some degree, but that's because there are so many models that trade over market, so if you're someone who only cares about the value of the watch, then it makes sense to buy from the AD and flip for profit immediately, and I wouldn't blame anyone for doing that. As I always say, buy what you love and to hell with the rest. This applies also to the idea that you're not buying to impress others, but simply to be happy with what you see on your wrist.>>18288045Modern sub and seadweller bracelets have this function I believe; but just look up reviews on YouTube to find out that stuff. Day-dates, as an example, do not. Pickpockets - well, in Japan it's not bad, but just keep your eyes open in shady areas. Sadly no pics of the earlier watches - those pictures would still be physical photographs (i.e. taken with film), and I'm not going to share those. The watches were 'standard' though, worn by many business people and lawyers at the time. The 90's were hilarious compared to now when it comes to watches...

>>18288047The Explorer is also a favourite in my collection. I always wanted a 3940, but it is extremely expensive, who knows, maybe in the future I will buy one. Anyway, with the Explorer I doubt if it is worth buying more watches, although I think a collection of three watches is the best option.
>>18288038none if you charismamaxx
>>18288046I noticed that, the more money and watch knowledge a person has, the more he likes the new Patek.
>>18288061Agreed. some people are too poor to 'get it'
>>18288051I was once young too, Fren. The first 'real' watch I bought was the Submariner, but only because my colleague had one and I wanted in on the club. At that time, Rolex was the only luxury watch I knew of, and though we had Omegas in the family, I wanted to get the Rolex because that's what is plastered over Wimbledon (Rolex 'must' be the best, because everyone says it's the best). I was happy for a while because I had it, and at that time it felt like a real achievement to own a Rolex. It was easy to get too; there was no waiting list and I simply walked into the only store in my area that sold Rolex and bought it; I chose the date model because I thought it was better than the no-date that my colleague had; that was the extent of my reasoning. I wore it everywhere, and treated it as if it was indestructible (which, for my purposes, it really was). In the end though, I got bored, so I sold it and moved on. Chronographs proved to be far more interesting and useful to me, and that's been the way things have been. The difference with Rolex today is that the desirability shot up in Covid, along with all watches really. It'll probably take a few more years before things settle down to 90's era irrelevance once again. There's literally nothing wrong with Rolex though...it's a fine watch, but you're not going to get much more in daily comfort, performance, etc. than with a great Omega, JLC, or Breitling. Go for the design you want, and see what smiles on your wrist.>that 5011k movement from Zenith...best movement they produced before the quartz crisis. Gotta love it!
>>18288048I know you’re that annoying prick with the Grand Seiko. I told you already to fuck off. I dont want to interact with you in any way. You’re a douche and have shit taste. Ignore my posts, faggot.
The Cubitus, really, is a test. It's here to check your design litteracy. To a simpleton, it's just a big ugly square that kinda looks like a Nautilus (the only Patek he knows).To the horologically educated, the multireferencial intertext of the watch is overwhelming and yet another proof of the genevoise maison. The curvature of the vertical edges is alchemical on several layers (squared circle, transformative Work of a prime element into its sublimized form and elevation, mutual acclimatation of opposites further seen in metal textures, the list could go on) ; the sizing is strict numerology (45 rpm, another circular reference ; hexagonal number pointing to the elegance in the simplicity of the square compared to the OTHER geometric watch with hexagons ; 45 in the enneagram points to the strength of individuality that will generate envy among those on the outside [non-owners])
>>18288065That's a nice watch man, thanks for sharing.
>>18288064There is something wrong with the Sub.It's not made by IWC.
>>18287978Kill yourself you fucking useless failure.
>>18288066this but unironicallyif you can't tell there's a lot going on with the cubitus, you're just objectively too dumb to "get it"
>>18288064>There's literally nothing wrong with Rolex though...it's a fine watch, but you're not going to get much more in daily comfort, performance, etc. than with a great Omega, JLC, or Breitling.For me, the advantage of Rolex is that it remains an independent watchmaker. That's something I like.
>>18288066That's not what he said. He said Patek is not confident in their designs and Cubitus is there just to shift attention from Nautilus somewhat.
>>18288072What's even the point of being independent if you're going to act like the biggest corpo anyway? That's like saying Seiko is independent because they are their own industrial group.
>>18287961>SantosThis shit is obsolete now that the Patek Philippe Cubitus has been released.
Can anyone QC my watch
>>18288080https://imgur.com/a/xYF4u5cPlease tell me what you think
Good evening /wt/.Chronomaster on the wrist today. What are you wearing, frens?
>>18288077Being an independent watchmaker, they do not suffer humiliation rituals like Omega with the MoonSwatch.
>>18288049>>18288064I wonder how it feels to hold such horological mastery in your hands..That truly is a lovely timepiece from a bygone era. The perfection from the past. Cherish it well, anon.
>>18288072I haven't experienced any advantages with independent watch brands, and only a few disadvantages; the main one being the lack of available parts for independent watchmakers for servicing and repair. If there were tangible benefits (felt by the consumer) to being an independent watch manufacturer that mass-produces watches, then it makes sense to give your money to them. It's one thing if you're Roger Smith...then at least the 'independent' label can make a difference (i.e. bespoke watches suiting the buyer). But being independent while mass-producing watches that are very similar in design-language is irrelevant until servicing and repair begins.
>>18288088This: >>18288086My friend, what do you think about MoonSwatch?
>>18288086They have their own form of humiliation too, don't worry.
>>18288094>el luminous
>>18288066So the boomer has spoken and patek is finished.

>>18288100keep shining, El Luminouso
>>18288103With the brightness and tenacity of the luminous sign on a third rate whorehouse by the road, I will.
>>18288093I think the idea and execution (barring Neptune) was brilliant. I've seen them in the wild far more often on young people's wrists than any other type of watch (aside from the casio or seiko digital throwbacks to the 90s), and it's set up Omega for a new generation of 'the real thing' Speedy buyers in about 15 years or so when they get jobs and start making money. I've had time with the Mars one which is fun, and if I were to buy one it would probably be one of the cool 3 new ones that were released a few months ago or the Sun (I like the bright dial). These, like the SwatchxBlancpain, are fun watches for the moment, not watches to hand-down or survive a lifetime of use. They're toys, but then again, so are mechanical watches; these ones are just less expensive and more risky in terms of colour. It's the type of watch I'd wear to the carnival, or amusement park, and, surprisingly, make great gifts.Do you like them Fren?
>>18288096Yes, it's an ugly watch. But it's much worse when a company buys you, takes your biggest icon, and turns it into a colorful plastic watch made in China.
>>18288113I don't like them, I think it's an aberration. From a business perspective it seems like a way to depreciate the value of your brand.>Do you like them Fren?I prefer the watches you post, sir
>>18288088the main advantage of an independent watchmaker is that they dont have to put short term profits before everything elseRolex could start producing parts or even entire watches in China without losing a single sale, generating billions in additional profits, but they dont
I know this will be controversial... but... I like Rolex's arrogance.
>>18288127How is Rolex "arrogant"?
>>18288121I understand your perspective. I'm not sure if it technically devalued the brand...Swatch Group made a fortune off of the MoonSwatch hype and sales, and it boosted sales of the normal Speedy as well (at least at my local AD), and they're still selling rather healthily today. The most brilliant part of it was keeping the case shape and size close to the normal Speedy...this means young people are familiar with the footprint on their wrist and they'll gravitate towards the Speedy-like watches when they grow up and be turned off of competitor brands that have straight cases or long lugs (like Breitling, for example). We'll see how much it helps or hurts Omega...it'll take some time to determine that. >>18288123Agreed, however there is danger to both strategies. If Rolex creates something that no one likes, it becomes a profit sink for years (Cellini, Air King, etc.), whereas brands that put short-term profits before anything else tend to shift gears quickly if something fails. That's one reason why I think Rolex is in a little trouble related to the 33xx; this problem is worse for them than for other manufacturers - it's not like Rolex will just throw in another movement...they're stuck with this until they develop another one, which will take years.There's always a benefit an drawback to each, but everything has been thrown for a loop due to the Covid bump.
>>18288142do you know any other company, where a customer who walks into the store ready to spend 5 digits on 150 gramms of stainless steel, gets called to fuck himself and laughed out of the store?

>>18288152Okay, but why does IWC likes black people so much. I find it weird.
>>18288152Don't you think it's kinda weird? Looks like IWC fetishes black people to me.

How has Watch journalism avoided being intellectually and politically captured by activist retards? I swear if watches were Disney movies there would already be a narrative going about the Cubitus making conservative chuds seethe and the homophobic fatphobic roots of round watch design. There's of course weird racial pandering in advertising sometimes but I never see anyone even comment on it beyond making fun of it.
>>18288386>How has Watch journalism avoided being intellectually and politically captured by activist retards?
>>18288392fwiw the author now works at Grand Soikope lmaohttps://www.instagram.com/jonbues/
>>18288392Yeah, and that article probably did badly and they never mentioned it again, right?
>>18288176>the target demographic for large, historically inspired pilot watches are womenSure bro
>>18288386People into watches are typically older, upper-middle class white men. Coincidentally that’s not a susceptible demographic to leftist political opinions
>>18288401Other than being overly large, I actually could see women liking pilot watches because they usually have printed arabic numerals and women seem to really prefer numerals over geometric or stick markers.
>>18288393HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAH you cant make this shit up
gs=poolex now lmfao
>>18288403Nah anon, left authoritarian is luxury watches.Fidel, Kim, Maduro and the crew love luxury crap.F91w needs a terrorist special section kek
>>18288405Most of the people writing for comic books and comic book movies don't actually like or consume those mediums either. Some communist commenting on a new AP from a press photograph wouldn't require any purchase history or in depth experience with watches than a channel like Theo & Harris or The Time Teller doing the same. They would just wear Timex and cope that Timex is the only company showing any concern for catering to the indiginous bipoc community in the watch industry and slam the entire catalogue of every German watch company that had any heritage from WW2 even if in name only.
>>18288417The other day when I was desperate for something to listen to at work I came across a 1916 watch company video on youtube where the guy was naming downsides of wearing verious popular watches from different popular companies, and when he went over I think it was either IWC or Laco he unironically said he thinks wearing them is problematic or feels wrong because of their association with the Nazis.

>>18288437When I'm doing a little watch spotting as I travel or at work I notice a lot of people who aren't wearing smart watches are wearing easy readers.
>>18288437You guessed it, I do need more than that ugly looking watch,
>>18288437I don't like you, please stop posting and kill yourself
>>18288405>People into watches are typically older, upper-middle class white men.And asians from asia, who don't like nogs even on movie posters of foreign films to the extent that depictions of those characters are routinely removed from the posters and trailers are re-cut eg. with black panther they kept the helmet on for the chinese poster because chinese wouldn't see the film otherwise lmao
>>18288437I don't need that at all since my eyesight is perfect and I'm not pushing 60.
>>18288386There will always be a little bit of this shit as long as women are involved with watches, and for some reason watch companies and Rolex in particular seem to really like having female sales reps even though most of them have absolutely no fucking clue what they are talking about. The other day I was talking to a watch sales lady and the topic of different bracelets came up and she said Rolex only makes 2 types of bracelets(oyster and jubilee.) I said that's not true because the daydates have president bracelets, and actually I think you could technically argue they make 4 different bracelets because sometimes they put a smaller version of the president bracelet on the lady datejusts. She was taken aback.>..... LADY datejust????Yeah, the smaller sized datejusts, like I think they make them in 28mm and 31mm?>.... Rolex makes datejusts in those sizes but they don't CALL them Lady Datejusts! I've sold those sizes to men before, anyone can wear small watches!I just said yeah, I like smaller watches, too, and dropped it. As I left the store I had to check the rolex website to make sure they didn't actually drop lady datejusts and I wasn't the one being ignorant. They didn't. But what a fucking weird, obviously wrong argument to try to make over something so stupid as the name of a watch model line.
>>18288449I thought they dropped the lady's dj's.It's ridiculous how they're pushing 36mm for women when 28 is the best size for dainty wrists. Larger watches make them look like dykes.I know I know the whole>boyfriend watchmaymay from a few years ago, but that's over. Women wearing watches larger than 32mm is the same as a man wearing a <35mm watch: it looks weird.Damned shame about the last good 32mm calatrava's though.
>>18288437Timex has a lot of nice watches but you posted the worst I have ever seen.
Years ago, just before sunrise in San Miguel de Allende, I listened to the CEO of a large American media company describe the reinvigorating effect of seeing his romantic partner being romantic with someone other than himself. It gave him a new appreciation for someone he knew all too well. It helped him see her afresh. Now, watches are not people, but the same principle applies. And to experience this revitalization without rolling the dice on your relationship, give a friend (or lover) your watch while you two are hanging out. I bet you'll see the watch – and possibly even the person – in a different light.

Or the OysterVC Chad that sold most of his watches and only kept two??It's just very entertaining. It gives a certain one of a kind-character and feel and makes this thread extremely unique.And we get to talk about watches directly THROUGH them, their objective experiences and analyse them in depth.I love our All-stars and I hope they're doing well.

Kofe time.
Went and saw all the watches I like yesterday.Here are some things you might like to know about them if you like watches.>The white gold and platinum Lange 1 dials are actually slightly different colors. The platinum is cooler and less bright / more grey.>The ALS dials look white in photos but they are actually textures and have a sort of "soft glow" effect. Its more noticeable on the Lange 1 because there is super-subtle guilloche around the time and seconds. I went to blancpain but didn't even bother taking pictures because their white dials (which are also silver) are totally plain and look worse than many shitters.>The GS SBGY011 dial has a criss-cross pattern that doesn't really show up in photos online.>The Omega Globemaster is bulky and generally awful imo, I can clearly tell the videos propping it up are paid shills (ofc).Now I will describe the boutique experiences:>GS: SEA saleswoman that knew all the watches by model no. and was very professional.>ALS: German fellow who told me about the history of ALS for 1 hour while serving tea to me and my wife and bringing out books, diagrams, models, and of course, watches. It was like a splendid little museum tour.>Blancpain: Two Chinese salespeople that ignored me when I walked in because they were talking to each other. But afterwards they were quite professional.>Omega: Egyptian saleswoman who said "what is that?" when I asked to see the Constellation Globemaster and asked if I had a picture of it.I also went into the F.P. Journe boutique but they only get 80 watches a year and the waitlist is currently 4000.
>>18288716Did you buy any?
>>18288696>not even an NH35 seiko>not even a chinkshit NH35>a chinkshit NH35 cased by pasta niggers
>>18288718I was pretty confident I would by the GS SBGY011 and it was also the second cheapest, but after seeing the ALS watches I don't really want anything but that. I'll wait until my next birthday since I just bought a car a last month. In that time I have to decide between the Richard Lange and the Lange 1. The RL is slightly bigger at 40.5mm compared to 38.5mm. The Lange 1 fit my tiny 6.5" wrist perfectly and it is very appealing visually but the RL tickles my autism because it has all of my favorite features for a traditional watch (textured white dial, blued hands, black roman numerals) and supposedly it keeps better time. The pricing is pretty similar so its just a matter of choosing one and going to pick it up.Which one would you pick?
>>18288728>Which one would you pick?None, too big for a dress watch, plus you don't have a big wrist.
does this count as a dress watch?
>>18288754nope, kys
>>18288728The only ALS I've ever liked is picrel. It's simple, elegant and has good proportions.

Shill me a watch to complement a mostly preppy look.Purely as a cosmetic piece, don't care about its features as a watch.Expensive is fine so long as it's fairly likely to hold its value.

>>18287961There are only some vintage lookalikes in my box, a 70s styled Metric, Vacheron styled Maen and a Casio that looks a lot like the 52QS-14B from 50 years ago.

What do we think about the new titanium OrientStar diver?
Hey guys check out my new watch. It has a perpetual calendar but as you can see it doesn't display the hours, minutes, seconds, day, month, or date.
>>18288880If it's truly made in Japan then: BasedIf not: Cringe
>>18288880It has a perpetual calendar as long as you remember to move the date and store the year, month and day in your head.
>>18288876>Damn that Car comment really does seem to have hit a nerve didn't it?I think it's hilarious to be that arrogant when the real value of your watch is around 10k (more like 8k if you have to sell it quick, which may happen sooner than expected considering the Roach admitted to work as a cashier), which is the price of a really shitty car.
>>18288885My watch costs less than your father's car. And my watch is the best.
>>18288886Perpetual calendar btw. Yes, unironically.
I don't like rolex but the reality is wearing these antiques of watches is retarded except for the sole purpose of being flashy and dabbing on poors hence why anything not rolex is a shitter because it's stupid to wear it if you're not rich, wear small/slim quartz like a normal person, something which can go under cuffs easy, otherwise wearing a 40mm x 14mm 140g peace is much like wearing a fedora on the train ride
>>18288885Different model. And even if it's 8K, it's still costs more than your fathers diesel passat. Good to know that it hit a nerve though.

And of course telling people to please notice that he isn't poor because of the watch, shoes and shirt he's wearing. Damn, you can't make this shit up. I've been lurking this place almost from the start and even the guy who came to /b/ every Christmas to post cum filled bottles (jizzus) is less pathetic than this "not-poor" attention whore. He's never leaving this place, not even his family or 'friends' gives him the attention he gets here.

It's pretty sad that if you want a good watch you can only choose from Rolex, Casio, Cartier, Omega, VC, PP, AP, JLC, Breguet and Piaget.Ten brands in total. Almost all of them have only one or two good models to offer. This means roughly twenty models in total.And we're still here discussing watches when this is all there is. We're all going to look the same, if that's the state of things.>inb4 we aren't because poors won't get these watchesPure delusion
>>18288915Let me think.The Seiko and Maen work well when wearing suits, the Omega when you switch for more casual outfits. The Oceanus is kind of a lazy set and forget watch, it synchronizes with atomic clocks or your mobile phone and I like the nautical theme in white and navy blue. The Metric Chronograph has a unique dial and a bonkers backstory about the markers to time your prefect morning Espresso, I like to wear it sometimes for variety.
>>18287978Yeah you will learn your lesson and buy a rollie
>>18288870Awful collection.
>>18288966>The Seiko and Maen work well when wearing suitsWhat kind of suit? A boiler suit?

Is it better to buy a top-of-the-line model from a mid-tier brand or buy an entry-level model from a top-end brand?
>>18289058A top-of-the-line model from a mid-tier brand.
>>18289058An entry-level from a top-end brand.
>>18289058It depends what matters to you more, the name on the dial or the overall quality of the watch.

>>18289053punjab is all about pride please understen
>>18288561Their watches are fun but I’m a coffee snob too so I’m their target demographic. How does the mecha quartz feel compared to a normal mechanical?
>>18289058Depends on the models and brands in question. You can't generalize.
>>18288696Formex essence 39
>>18288696Only flaw of Unimatic is that their watches are thicc. Beautiful dials and bezels though.
>>18289058>>18289078For me, you never buy the entry-level model of anything. That's cope behavior.Buying a steel, quartz-powered Cartier Tank, for example, just tells everyone about the watch you actually wanted and couldn't afford.For that matter, you never buy a watch on a strap if there's a bracelet option.
I either want this or a Cartier Roadster. Are they shitters? I honestly wish the Carl Suchy had a metal bracelet but otherwise I like the design more.

>>18289089Do you have any other watches? Do you have a lot of disposable income right now?If you cannot answer yes to either then forget this odd reboot brand. The design isn't something you're going to like in a few years, or even next season. You like it now but it's something you'll cringe at after you get bored, and you will get bored.If you're rolling in money I'd say still get the watch that's easier to try on, service, deal with.There's only one Austrian brand worth a damn and it's Habring2, which is actually Austrian and not "swiss".
>>18289092I'm worried about the width. I wear watches on my left hand toward my body so the crown is an issue for me.
>>18289096I have a Gshock. What about the Cartier? I've liked that watch for a number of years. Back when it was half what it is now.
>>18289094poorfag shitter
>>18289099I think it looks like shit and the suchy is much nicer, but it's not a lasting design. If you're going to buy one luxury watch ever then it should be something more timeless. But if you've got money to splash around willynilly then go ham and buy what you want.
