Long ago, the avatards of watch thread lived in peace.It all changed when the bittertardello nation attacked.So is Omegay having ROLEX SEX now?
>>18343920>So is Omegay having ROLEX SEX now?Everyone bows before the crown eventually.
>>18343919most blatant Daytona cope
>>18343920A gentleman would never discuss such matters. That being said, after having it for a few weeks and wearing it around, it clearly gets attention in the way that my other watches (aside 2599.80) don't get. What should I expect? It's the most recognizable watch brand on the planet right now. It's turning into an interesting sociological experiment.>>18343919They're great watches, but you definitely should have Omega service it when you get it. When they first came out, the Piguet (if memory serves) movement was not the most reliable, but after a service it would be fine. It's one of the few 42mm Auto Speedies out there, and they made other variations that are just as nice.
>>18343928>It's turning into an interesting sociological experimentHoly fuck it's realBlack women?

>>18344031Too big 4u
>>18344004>unmatched reliabilityespecially if you ignore all the QC issues that Tudor has.
>>18343941Nah, you can ignore that. That's just the way OD writes.Look how hard he tried to get people to guess what his new watch was. Literally no one cared, but he likes to seem mysterious. We just humor him.He was probably the kid in high school who was "too busy" to attend the parties he wasn't actually invited to.

>>18344203You can't copyright a bracelet.
>>18343916Just buy a fake lol
>>18344031oh, hi fellow omegoy :D
casio citizen seiko that is all
>>18343941No, but I've never really bought watches 'for others'. This is the first time that I've bought a watch that is coincidentally 'recognizable' to the average Joe...and that has had interesting ramifications. As I said, it's become an interesting sociological experiment, and continues to be so.>>18344031Love it! I have two 1861s as well, and my watchmaker reminds me that the movement is 'bullet-proof'. Wear it in good health, and enjoy the hell out of it! It's my GADA watch, by a long shot...just make sure you check the water resistance before taking it swimming.18344162Quite honestly I think it's because people don't know the Sea-Dweller references well. Much of the modern focus is on the Submariner, the GMT II, the Daytona, and the Day-Date. Everything else (Yachtmaster, Air-King, etc.) gets forgotten, but that's okay. Back in the day, I had intended to get a double-red Sea-Dweller, like my 1966 Speedy...but to be honest, I'm tired of being careful with my vintage watches. I wanted a watch I could wear 'for the purpose', if it's going to be a Rolex. That, and I wanted lume that worked, a bracelet that wasn't shit, etc. I still love the double-red Sea-Dweller...it'll always be a favorite in my heart (especially for the dial proportions between large triangle, date placement, and large indices). But honestly Fren....Modern 31xx movement which holds time as good as my 321, bracelet that is better than any of my Omega divers, bezel action that is superior to ANY bezel on earth, and deeper depth rating while having a case that is wearable and 'normal' to the uneducated observer? Why in Christ's name would I buy anything else? What watch are you wearing today, Fren?>>18344358>>18344362I understand that, I really do. I have always been on the opposite side; I love layers of text on the dial telling me what my watch is capable of.>see pic...so many lines. I almost bought the Chronograph version in addition just because of the text...lol
>>18343953Where is it coming from? Also, I don't know the prices well...is it a moderate/good price? How is the condition?Researching my Rollie was very difficult and stressful...far less fun than the Omegas. You need to know the capabilities of the current superclones, superclone movements, etc., even if you're buying from a trusted buyer. Have you tried one on? Will the prices continue to drop? So many questions to answer. Let us know what you decide!
Was going to gift myself this seiko for Christmas for an everyday watch? Going to try offload my nav-b soon, I fell for the 47mm meme a while back, its quite rediculous.

Why are OD OP's always so comfy?
>>18344539OmegaChad brings a whiff of epicurean joy and class to these threads, when he is the original poster he reinforces a certain sense of class and cameradery in the thread.
>>18344539He posts some interesting Omega Speedys, the Reverso is nice, and his new Rolex is a great watch. Neither of these watches are my cup of tea, but I admit they are nice. He is possibly a janitor as some anon suspects, but at least he posts good watches.
>>18344577>but at least he posts good watches.True, but his posts can get a little stale, seeing as he literally only posts about how his own personal watches are the best (in his opinion).If he does post about other watches, it's mostly to say that he doesn't like them, but you're perfectly free to wear a watch that's not the best.When he takes a couple months off, it's a nice break.
>>18344600
>>18344606See, you, on the other hand, I'll never get tired of. A simple pic or ten, given without comment. Are they months or years old? It doesn't matter. If I don't care, I can just ignore. All it does is increase the post count.Ah, hell, here's another (You) for your troubles, fren. It's Christmas.
>>18344613Thank you, fren. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you.
>>18344628I'm shocked, anon, your watch seems to be 1 second off here, but in the other pictures it was always on time
>>18344641Phone was probably slightly off time.
>>18344600But but but...I was asking helpful questions for the GMT Batgirl Anon...and I agreed with the AutoSpeedy Anon that it's a great watch....I usually don't comment on watches when I don't know about them, don't have an opinion on them, or can't share data that might help the Anon. That's why I never really talk about Casio, non-Grand-Seiko, or microbrands. Everyone knows how I feel about Tudor, so I no longer mention that because there's no need, and since no one here asks about what to look for when buying a vintage speedy or how to assess a seller when buying Rolex, I have nothing much to add. There are many posters around (which is originally why I wanted to unify the threads again) who have specific expertise which is valuable for someone wanting to buy a watch or wishing to know what to expect with one once it's bought. What is the real-world performance of a bog-standard Reverso? Does a modern Rolex Sub feel heavier on the wrist than a neo-vintage (1990s) sub? Are the old bracelets interchangeable on the new Speedy 3861 case? Stuff like that. Back in the day when I thought about getting a vintage Accutron Spaceview, I was asking questions of the AccutronChad who used to be around here, and he gave solid advice. Heck, when I mentioned back then how much I hated GS cases, a friendly Anon linked some literature that I could read regarding the design philosophy behind Seiko of that era, helping me to understand why they all look alike. Anyway...I just think these thread should be more than just 'buy this watch', 'don't buy this watch', and 'your watch is shit'.
okay serious question time
>>18344842What the fuck anon?
>>18344842How the fuck does that abomination cost 500 bucks?

>>18344908I mean, why not both?I have a Forstner flat link for my 90s Seamaster and it's pretty nice.Speedmaster on gator is a little iffy. It basically obliterates any pretense of sportyness the watch has.I would go with Saffiano leather. It's still retains an upscale look (it's what Prada bags are made of, after all) but it's also quite tough and semi-waterproof.)

This is still my dream watch. I just wish I got it before it got more and more expensive I'll still get it one day
>>18344598We have witnessed your watch paraded endlessly—no fewer than a thousand times—but I resolved to appraise it with dispassionate rigor. My verdict? Most fail to comprehend the enigma before them.This is no mere timepiece; it is a horological anomaly. I won’t trivialize it with platitudes about value—a term now so overused it’s rendered meaningless. Yet, undeniably, acquiring such a marvel for under $2000 borders on the absurd.Behold: the pinnacle of autonomous precision. No GPS theatrics, no radio synchrony, no reliance on digital infrastructure—just you and atomic accuracy, free from the surveillance of state or corporate entities. Moreover, it offers a perpetual calendar, a complication typically reserved for far more extravagant creations.Specifications aside, let us consider its finishing. The hands and markers exhibit a refinement rivaling Grand Seiko—flawless, knife-edged, entirely devoid of imperfections. But what does ‘GS-level’ denote? Unequivocally, it signifies that these elements surpass, under magnification, the craftsmanship of five-digit Swiss timepieces. Whether this truth provokes ire, skepticism, or astonishment, it remains incontrovertible. The dial, with its masterful manipulation of depth and striking sunburst effect, transcends all expectations.And exclusivity? Allow me to elucidate:> Minuscule production volume? Affirmed.Geographically constrained? Indisputably.Further rarity via limited editions? Evident.As for the case—though not Zaratsu-polished, its distortion-free execution defies its price bracket.Perfection, however, eludes it. It is overly thick, the movement aesthetically uninspired, and the bracelet a disservice to the dial’s grandeur. Yet, for $2000, these imperfections are astonishingly forgivable."
If your watch has a ETA/Sellita movement, would it be worth it to send it back to the manufacturer for a service or is it better to just send it to a local watch repair person?Is there any big benefit to sending to the manufacturer to justify the cost?
>>18345084?
>>18345087Depends on the nature of the repair job. If it’s a routine service, anyone can do it. If you need specific parts or want a case refinishing, it’s better to go to the manufacturer.
>>18344866Forget that, TGV bought a fucking Breguet? New?!
>>18345094Besides just a service and fixing it running slow I'd like it if they looked at the crystal. It's an IWC Pilot which the retards at IWC put AR coating on the OUTSIDE as well as inside and the outside gets scratched. They crystal isn't scratched, just the AR coating
>>18345100MSRP Breguet doesn't exist. Stop lying on the internet
>>18345083Why is it your dream watch?
>>18345120Absolutely love the aesthetic with the bezel outside and the subdials. Looks so goodAnd I work in aerospace so pilot watches have a special meaning for meAnd when I first started getting into watches, it was Breitling that caught my eye and got me interested
>>18345123Aerospace doesn't pay well enough to get a Breitling? Not trolling, actually curious
>>18345130I work in supply chain, I negotiate contracts for and buy the parts that go on the aircraftIt pays well, particularly for engineers, but I'm still pretty early career so I'm not at that level of money yet
Good early afternoon bros. What are you wearing today?I just finished my light work out session, and as always while training, I wore my trusted black bay ceramic.Why that watch?

>>18345398This single picture speaks such volumes of the possibilities in this hobby.You don't need to be the richest man in the country, or have the most extensive horological knowledge to put together a perfect collection.Take this anon for example, he got into watches few months ago and managed to acquire the perfect collection with his average Joe salary. All of his watches are in the luxury to ultra luxury category and he has all sides covered. Haute Horlogerie dress watch? Check! High accuracy quartz with best finishing on the planet? Check!. Scratch proof casual/sports watch? Also check.I for one commend this anon for his mastery of horology.

>>18346757Do it. It will make your complaints about the sequel trilogy seem more authoritative.
>>18346757The choice of material for the strap is really cool but YODA around the dial makes it really gaudy and cheap looking. Especially the O with the tiny ass date on the left side and a weird gaping black void making up the rest of the middle of the O.

What’s the cheapest vintage soviet watch you can get? Im talking under 200, are frankenwatches really that bad?
>>18346923Frankenwatches are based. If your watch is 50-60 years old and still has original parts, then is it really a good thing? I'd rather have a Lotus Elan S2 with rebuild transmission and engine instead of having the same shit since the 60s in it. Same with mechanical watches.Franken means it was serviced.
>>18346930An old rolex with a sellita movement in it isn't really a rolex anymore though, is it? You literally could have just bought a san martin, in fact the san martin legitimately could be a better watch.

You toil away trying to drive it forward, trying to master your wife and yourself, like rolling a heavy stone uphil, then inevitably every so often shit hits the fan and it rolls all the way back down and you mourn all your futile efforts and resources wasted on a rigged game.I try to cope by telling myself that one day I will have enough resources so that marriage will be something that is just there but I dont really worry about or feel assymetrically invested in. Ideally it would be kind of like a subscription you cant get rid of but you accept your fate and the subscription fee is a drop in the ocean.I dont know for how much longer I can keep lying to myself though.
The worst thing is that she is not even that attractive and her boobs are small with blown out nipples like pinky fingers. I regret my decision I would have wanted a taller more harmoniously built one with big juicy boobs with wide flat nipples in pristine conditionI could just be single and pay escorts with prime bodies like in the good old days before I married. Those were the glory days which I traded for the illusion of peace and respect that are supposed to come with marriage.Anyway I am going back to square one but not giving up on the dream of a glorious escape
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
>>18347320>>18347323Watches for this feel?
>>18347278the patek since the other three are all patek cope
>>18347339I wear an armani mall watch. I feel quite convinced that there isnt a married man in the world who doesnt wish he were single. Brutal. I lost my ability to cope. I cant unsee now that I am no longer blind
>>18347345>>18347325>>18347323>>18347320Based Armani Chad.Thank you for sharing your deepest thoughts with us, I know they resonate with many anons here.
Every single euro cent that is assymetrically spent on a woman digs you into your goy cage deeper and deeper. Even if you do financially relatively well it is just a very very bad feeling to be in a relationship as it is a constant drain of finances, time, mental health etc. Single life cant be beat. Even for incels, just pay escorts occassionally when you feel the need and be a sovereign individual not tied down by the tentacles of a woman who we have known since genesis 3 to be the ruin of man
>>18347347I am humbled by your appreciation. I hope I will find strength. I have been looking for it for years and have not found. And realistically I am a much more assertive person than the average person so we have not even began to understand how fucked we really are as a group (married men)
My downfall is that I always end up reverting my decision when reality starts to set in and I can see how my wife's life will fall apart completely. In a sense this is madness since its unlikely to fall back to below the level where I picked her up. The problem is that you cant throw away your cake and not have it fall on the floor. There is no glory without willingness to hurt others for your own gain. This is what is fundamentally wrong with the Christian world view and how it perpetuates weakness. It might be by design
Is the 54 peak Tudor?
>>18347368My armani mall watch is way more accurate, cheaper, has a chronometer, has a date, has a 24 hour time in case you dont know if it is night or dayThe watch you propose is highway robbery but if you like it why not get it yolo
>>18347377Tudors are for men who can satisfy their wives.
>>18347381While at the same time not being able to afford Rolex. Probably a coincidence.
So is there anything that can realistically surpass a Rolex in style? I personally like mine but I wish I had other options that are just as classy

>>18347395>Based means buying what you like not what others think.You're confusing based and cope
>>18347385Nice meme pic but seriously without the luxury tag I don’t think anyone would ever buy Rolex. They are good mechanically but the dullest watches on the planet.
>>18347399DJs are the exception
>>18347398I’m choosing between this Tudor or the Vacheron sixty five or overseas. I could buy your mom. Rolex is pleb nigger luxury. Literaly the most common watch brand on the planet. Every fucking office wage wears one. Gross.
>>18347402Meh. Look at my heckin bezel. I’m like Tony Soprano!
>>18347396Oh nice Hamilton homage.
>>18347404>I’m choosing between this Tudor or the Vacheron sixty five or overseasSo you're going to buy the Tudor, of course.Keep priming the pump, though, spamming that pic, Eventually you'll convince us that it's a good watch. I'm sure of it.
In a world where Rolex screams status, Tudor whispers taste. A Rolex is the billboard of success, but Tudor? It’s the secret handshake of those who know better. You pay less, yet get a sibling forged in the same fires—Swiss precision, timeless design, and none of the "look-at-me" hysteria. A Tudor is a poet's watch; a Rolex, a salesman’s pitch. Why spend double to impress strangers when you could spend less and impress yourself?
>>18347432Cope
>>18347274Bump
how did I do?

NEW BREAD WHEN
Zaratsu time.
>>18347572That a grand seiko? Which one?
>>18347607This brings to mind a recent occasion when I donned my Grand Seiko for a professional gathering, anticipating it would remain inconspicuous, much like my imaginary acquaintances residing within my computer assured me it would. Ironically, on that very first day, a colleague—someone with whom I had never been closer than two arm's lengths and with whom discussions of horology or "fashionable matters" had never graced our conversations—remarked, “Is that a Grand Seiko?” Remarkably, he even referenced "Zaratsu polish," a phrase I had assumed was exclusive to online discourse.I felt compelled to clarify that it was merely a 9F model, but instead, I mumbled about acquiring it online before deftly shifting the topic. Meanwhile, you all have thoroughly deceived me, leaving me anxious that others may perceive me as either extravagantly reckless with my finances (which I indeed am) or, conversely, as unreasonably well-compensated (which I am not).In summary, disregard the advice from /fa/ or /r/watches/, for it seems that I alone have ever ventured beyond the confines of my home.
>>18347399How many Rolexes do you own?Have you even tried one? Compare a Rolex bracelet to a Grand Seiko one or even to a mid-range like a Christopher Wart, then come back with your bullshit.
>>18347612lmfao the fragility
>>18347613You poorfags think there's no difference between your shitters and literal Rolexes, because you never owned a Rolex.I've owned many watches, the differences you can actually feel between luxury and your shitters:-you don't feel the rotor at all in a luxury watch-you only have to adjust the time maybe every other months-screw down crown-the tapper on the bracelet-micro adjustments so it fits perfectly-no shitty pins but screws-the transition between the bracelet and the case is perfect, gap is hidden-the texture finish...If you think there's no difference, you're just coping.
>>18347620also better materials, 904L steel, white gold hands.
>>18347620>>18347612>you're not allowed to criticize my shitter unless you own the same shitter
>>18347612Every time I tried on a rolex, the bracelet was thin and felt like very cheap hollow stuff and I always get the same response >"No, not THAT era, they were shit back then!"
>>18347620Everything you wrote also applied for San Martin (except the accuracy). But whenever someone posts videos and macro shots comparing the two brands, it all of a sudden doesn't matter because one says Rolex on the dial.
>>18347627This.
>>18347627>>18347629Yeah sure... the quality control on San Martin must be the same than Rolex...If you don't feel the difference and as long as you are happy with your San Martin, good for you. Personally i feel the difference. Maybe i wouldn't feel it with replicas, idk.
>>18347641https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tquf0p9FFWEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQSDHu8sVGkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqo0wcT_OukPick any video of the three. There are dozens out there. I know you won't because your ego is too big, just know that the marketing got you and you're o better from the people buying plastic Balenciaga shoes for 5000$
>>18347642A chinese brand could make a copy that's like 70%* as good as a Ferrari, would it the same than owning a Ferrari?*trying to be nice here, the materials alone are not the same, the movement/engine us not the same.Again good for you if you like your San Martin. If you could actually own a Rolex, you wouldn't feel the same tho.
>>18347620You seem to be the only one coping here, lmfao
>>18347647You are coping and projecting, kek.Your San Martin is like a car that broadly looks like a Ferrari, with a totally different engine. But hey, SMerarri is just the same than a Ferrari, bruh!
I genuinely don't understand how people unironically argue grand seiko are as good or better than rolexes. Even in their marketing photos you can clearly see gaps between the bracelet endlinks and the case where the spring bars are visible. Just spending a gorrillion hours putting a different finish on every surface doesn't make a watch better quality.
>>18347620I agree with the idea you're trying to get across here, but more than half of the specific features you named are present in even the cheapest chinese shitters.Rolexes will always be technically better. They just are, objectively. But there's a diminishing return to high end products where the product could cost 10x more than the knockoffs while only being 10-30% better. The question is whether or not that's worth it to you.All this is nevermind the fact that rolex will hild its value if you decide to sell it. Nobody is giving you your money back on a used san martin, they may as well buy a new one.
>>18347368Almost
>>18347368I don't like the fact that the dial is gilt but the rest is aluminum.BB58 is more coherent.
>>18347673>he doesn't want gold handsCope harder poorfag.
>>18347675>Reading comprehension
kys fag
>>18347368Yes, for women
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])

Do I do it? Want a watch around that $1000 territory since I don't have anything decent now, I just wear a Casio or an Apple Watch all the time.Would get both the bracelet and the leather so I could swap it depending on the occassion. Black watch face.
>>18347651They got the best dials on the market only surpassed by "hyper" watches that cost 6 figures. Specifically the hands and markers.
>>18347528>goes on sale at 7:13 AM with no notice and sells out in minutesAnother day, another radicalization
Georges Favre Jacot silver full hunter pocket watch in the pocket today.What piece are you sporting today, classy gents?
>>18347737Sure, they have great dials, but does that excuse the poor build quality? Seiko has never produced a decent bracelet in their history across any lineup or sister brand.
>>18347734safe choice
>>18347773Yeah, I figured so, think it would be a good idea then. Thanks man.
>>18347756The usual.
>>18347521>obukhivodessa, i believe.
Back in November I ordered one of these Seiko limited Nano Universe cross promotion watches for my fiancee for christmas. It's like the normal womens Seiko Tank but it has a solar movement and I liked that because they don't have that in the normal production lineup and she likes solar powered watches. I've run into listings of it online since then and I'm finding it listed for nearly double what I paid for it just a month ago. How did that happen?
>>18347802>my fianceeNo, don't do it, bro! Preserve your happiness. Stay single!

>>18344004>couldn't afford a rolexare tudor watches the ultimate cope?
>>18347899Rolex doesn't currently make a watch equivalent to bb54.
>>18347899Yes literally the MO of the company
>>18347899I think so. /WT/ tried trolling me into buying a blackbay a while back. Glad i stuck with my armani mall watch and maintained my dignity
>>18347899>>18347910>>18347928>>18347976Why hate on Tudor? It’s like throwing shade at someone for owning a Lamborghini because they didn’t buy a Bugatti. Same vibe, less unnecessary flex
>>18347890
>>18347983I dont hate it but it is a no-rolex cope
>>18347987Nice watch, bro
>>18347989Thanks bro, it's not Armani tier, but it will do for me.
>>18347990Nevertheless befitting a man of culture
>>18347983The difference is nobody "settles" for buying a Lamborghini because the Bugatti dealer refused to sell them a car. People absolutely settle for buying a Tudor because the Rolex dealer refused to sell them a Rolex. People buy a Lamborghini because they want a Lamborghini. People buy a Tudor because they can't get a Rolex. To further your car analogy, if you can't get an Audi R8 you'll settle for an Audi TT.
>>18348009Is lange and sons hard to get if you have the coins?
>>18348026There are wait times for just about all Lange models because they only make like 5,000 watches per year, but it's a sequential list. No priority customers jumping the line, but you could still be waiting for a year or more for your watch to actually be made.For the Odysseus, they've stopped taking orders because the queue is now as long as the number of watches they intend to make.
>>18348026I have no idea, not a brand I'm interested in.
>>18348034Its the only brand that I consider worthy of upgrading for from random mall watches
>>18348009>people buy Tudor becuase they can't get a rolexIn some cases yes, in others absolutely not because Rolex doesn't make the same attractive designs and proportions they made 20 years ago (and others way older) which only Tudor is doing nowadays. Only a select few Rolex models are close to the "tool watch" heritage in their current forms

>>18348052What watches do modern national socialists wear?
>>18348054No idea. What did their leader wear?
>>18348060there is historical evidence suggesting that Adolf Hitler owned a gold watch made by **LeCoultre** (now Jaeger-LeCoultre). This watch reportedly had a monogrammed caseback with his initials "AH" and the Nazi swastika. The watch is believed to have been a gift, likely given to him during the 1930s or early 1940s.The watch came into the spotlight when it was auctioned in 2022 by Alexander Historical Auctions. Despite significant controversy surrounding the sale, it fetched a substantial price but did not meet the auction house's high expectations. Critics argued that auctioning the item was insensitive, given its connection to Hitler and the atrocities of the Nazi regime.It’s worth noting that information about Hitler's personal items is often speculative and based on limited documentation, as many of his possessions were looted or destroyed during and after World War II.
>>18348009Tudor offers forms, details and designs that Rolex doesn't. They're entirely different things. Different geometries and different colors. You buy a triangle because you like triangles. You buy a square because you like squares.
The watch believed to have belonged to Adolf Hitler was sold at auction for $1.1 million in July 2022. The auction, conducted by Alexander Historical Auctions in Maryland, drew significant controversy and criticism from various groups, including Jewish leaders, who opposed the sale of Nazi memorabilia. The auction house had estimated the watch's value between $2 million and $4 million, but the final sale price fell short of these expectations.
>>18348060Mussolini owned several gold watches but didn't wear any because he wasn't into this dumb hobby.
>>18347708t. manlet or sissy
>tfw I kinda look like archieluxuryanglo is still master race, right?
>>18348068As I understand this watch was given to Hitler as a gift but it is not a watch that he personally wore day to day. He is known to have carried a pocket watch but the manufacturer and nature of the pocket watch is unknown.
