I make more money than anybody ITT (base income $1.2 mil/yr, I own a mid-sized logistics firm and just over a dozen commercial rental properties, opening a yogurt importing business next year as well, and have a little over 7 mil invested in dividend-earning stocks and high yield savings accounts which also supply me with about $380k-420k of passive income every year).My EDC is an Omega Diver 300M with a blue rubber strap. I also have a gold Prezi and a Day-Date with a black dial.

>>18348412I am on the waiting list for a Cubitus myself.Why?Because 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])In every way, the Cubitus is the watch to own if you are at all serious about très haute horlogerie. No other watch is that complete in its intertextuality.

>>18348606It beats COSC by a several hundred times.
>>18348609It features ZARATSU -tier finishing on the case, hands and indecies.
>>18348611>>18348609>>18348606>>18348605>>18348563We 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."

>>18349750>>18349750>current state of rolex quality control? no biased or emotional answers pleaseProbably 20 times better than a cheap Seiko. Even the Omega fanatic praised their movements.
>>18349757>Even the Omega fanatic praised their movements.That's different. OD bought a Rolex. He's obligated to tell you at length about how all of his watches are "the best". That means he has to discard his previous personality of "Omega is better than Rolex."
>>18349766But rolex is better than omega though. Everyone eventually learns and accepts that.
>>18349797But but but...(as he would put it) he's only saying that his SPECIFIC Rolex is better, followed by some utterly nonsensical reasons.
>>18349459Okay, okay, I was just joking there. I just stopped liking having something on my wrist, it's so annoying, plus I need to take it off every night, plus when I stopped wearing the watch and just left it in the cabinet after like 6 months the watch started acting crazy like the battery was almost dead(I put a new one in) so it turned out that all this chink talk about 7 year battery life was a fucking lie, and it also loses a couple of seconds every fucking day. So if I ever have a watch again, it's going to be a pink Lolex, but I will have to suck a bunch of cocks for it probably...
>>18349811>I need to take it off every nightWhen did that become a requirement?
>>18349811How much you charge for a bj?

>>18348278Added the 37mm citizen diver wat h to my collection as my final watch (I promise)Basically I wanted a reliable quartz similar to my skx007 which was my first watch.Now I'm wondering. Should I go for a Jubilee or oyster bracelet? I have the black dial version of the watch
>>18350020Citizen bros. we keep growing
>>18350021Yep, they just werk.Was sold on them when I got this as my 2nd watch nearly a decade ago. Put it on a black leather strap and it gives it a whole new look tha to keep coming back to as my daily. Wanted a diver again and went with that expensive seiko tuna diver. Love it and all but I just wanted a solar power eco drive again so I went with the 37mm diver
what a beautiful watch. good lord, really impressed with bulova here. bought on sale as well, im very pleased
>>18350024The professional 1000m diver desu ka?
>>18350030One of the few Bulova that don't look so much like a mall watch with a unique design, or at least unique spin on an existing design (dj)Nice
>>18350031The 300m tuna. It's a bit smaller iirc but it's the most I spent on a watch lol
Good early afternoon gents. Hope you all had a great Saturday. I'm traveling for new years and decided that accuracy would be of importance so I went with my quartz regulated (but still mostly mechanical) Spring Drive watch.What are you guys wearing?
I just saw an ad online for an Indian "luxury" microbrand. at what point can AP sue this company for blatant design ripoff?
>>18350049for reference: AP Ref. 15450SR.OO.1256SR.01
>>18350049fashion can't be trademarked
>>18350049If you could trademark a design do you really think there wouldn't have been a billion lawsuits over the countless rolex homages?
>>18350052>>18350054Hello zero iq third world sars, the word is "patent" and yes you can patent a watch case design. For whatever reason, Rolex didn't renew their patents on the submariner super case - only things like the triple lock crown, glide lock clasp, and their logos / brand name. Thats why there are so many copies. It usually costs more money to go after and shut down the fakes then to just leave them be, so they ignore them. Retards.
>>18350067the bezels on the jeet clone are different sizes so the patent won't apply
What I really want is a Hamilton khaki field 38mm. Not sure if there are clone alternatives that don't look like or are built like shit.
>>18350083Why not just buy a real one? They're not super expensive even at retail price, if you find a retailer in a mall nearby they could easily drop the price $100-200 just to get the sale, and obviously used ones are pretty affordable.
>>18348963yea its gonna look real nice once there finished with it. Pretty close to new
>>18348278Is it still worth getting the Erika MN strap? They're 80 euro now.Bought one ages ago but want a black strap now in a smaller width . Tried an Amazon one and the fitting felt off and felt kind of thin/flimsy (the Erika one you had to send your wrist measurement)Are there any other brands that cut it to size and have better materials. Or should I sick up the 80 euro plus shipping
>>18350083Other lad is correct, be patient and get the real one. It's worth it.
>>183500303ATM water resistance is a joke in the current year.
let me guess, you need credore
>>183501061. you have to clean it every day to not be dirty which is anal because you have to remove pins or wash it with the watch 2. the hook is prolly too wide and protruding like the chink one i have and imo should be put in reverse 3. the 2 other metal thing may dig in your hand
>>18350024>a whole new look show pic now
>literally the perfect seiko>discontinuedevery time
>>18350157It's too flat.
>>18350157Yes, and nothing will convince me otherwise
>>18350175Sorry fren, but it looks like a mall watch
>>18350180Yeah it's not for everyone.
>>18350188Looks like an Orient Bambino. Although it looks a little better, I can't deny that.
>>18350194Well you pay for the name, the movement (which is also available with used models way way below 1000$) it's +-10 per year, and mostly the polishing on the markers and case. It's all black polish afaik. Literally the same as my GS.Credor does the thing where they go raise their prices by 10-15% every 6 months. No joke so it's my only watch that gained on value.
>>18350197Well, that's interesting, although I would never buy a watch to invest in. As for the GS, I have to tell you that it's not my cup of tea, I'll be honest with you, I find it to be an over-designed watch.
>>18350202Let's agree to disagree. I didn't buy a credor for an investment of course. It just happened. I don't plan on selling it anyway.What are you wearing m8?I'm on the train, got a bit of time on my hands.
>>18350203A square Casio G-Shock, an unpretentious, precise and unbreakable watch.

>>18350220Fuck this looks nice. Should I get one to replace my sarb035.It's a solar power one right ?
>>18350265>"Should I get the best watch off all time?Yes?
>>18350243>Which (actual) holy Trinity manufacturer is your favourite and why?It's a tough call because all three brands are struggling right now (creatively, not financially, obviously)Patek still puts out some great watches even if their most hyped pieces are dogshit for clout-chasers.AP is a one-watch brand and that one watch appeals mostly to people who enjoy grape soda and mentholated cigarettesVC has never had anything approaching a coherent design language and is mostly carried by being the cheaper and more easily obtained version of the above two.

>>18350474Garmins for running and shit usually wear big so I'd argue you can wear them bigger than your standard watch as you are going to only be using them while exercising, no? The one on the left is clownishly large though I have tiny flat wrist but wear a 52mm lug to lug Garmin slightly wider than my wrist which I don't think is horribleProblem with these Garmin is the larger they are the more features they have so you sacrifice features to get a smaller watch.

my buddy uttered the words>"going to Japan"the other day when I asked if he wanted to go to Asiaalthough I have a 7 day Hong Kong or Taiwan trip in mind, instead of a 14 day Japan one, going to Japan would almost certainly result in me buying a Rolex or Omega, something I wanted to do in 2 years
>>18350049whoever their social media admin is works fast. Commented on one of their instagram posts that it was an AP clone and was blocked within 5 minutes. Seems they don’t want laymen to know it’s a copy

>>18350739Look up WhoreAnon, he can show you around to all the good spots for deals.

>>18351229manlet wristlet brainlet
>>18351229>They don't just wear big. They are big.Sure, but that's the point.When you're running and you look down at your wrist, you want to easily see big, readable numbers. You don't want to squint to look at tiny numbers.I realize the vast majority of posters ITT are fat and/or unathletic, but a Garmin is not a normal watch, it's a piece of sporting equipment that simply has a clock built into it. Dive computers also tell the time, but no one wears them as a watch, right?

why won't the fucking ADs in my country sell me an explorer
I was never into watches and I've lately wanted to buy something. I'm thinking something very simple, maybe from casio vintage lineup? Yes? No?
>>18351319They need to maintain brand perception.
>>18351320Nah. Unless you need a watch, don't bother.
>>18351319Should be able to get one after a few months of waiting on the list unironically.
>>18351319What country?Also, did you physically go into the AD and talk to an actual person, or did you just call them on the phone?I'm in the US. I walked into my local AD and asked the guy behind the counter for an Explorer 124270. I had no purchase history of any kind and had never even set foot in that store before.The guy said, "We don't have any in stock at the moment, but we get new deliveries of inventory every two weeks. We can contact you when we get one in. Is that OK?"Eight days later, they texted me and asked if I was still interested and, if so, they had one for me. That afternoon, it was on my wrist.
>>18351344Philippines. It's a shithole with corruption at all levels. You can bribe the AD managers here and they'll sell you watches. Or just be friends with the AD ownership family members.
>>18351393Interesting. I didn't realize there were Filipinos who shopped for luxury goods in-country. All the Pinoys I've ever known when they were back home would fly to Hong Kong or Singapore to do their shopping.
>>18351344I'm in the US and waited for 9 months for an explorer and then went gray after following up multiple times and realizing I was being fooledHad purchase history and when I asked about it they were like "we registered your interest but don't know when we are going to get them in" fucking cucksOther AD basically did the same thing and asked if it was a special occasion like that is needed to sell a basic Rolex.
>>18351408Sorry to hear that.The only thing I can imagine the reason being is that the ADs are all basically independent of one another and do what they want.Some like to play stupid games, some just want to shift units.
Merry new year, filthy animals.
>>18351444A pleasant incoming cycle to you too, hammybrah!
>>18351258Most people I see wearing them use them as a smart watch. One of which is an old man who literally does nothing but work who should have retired and let me have his job years ago but he's holding out to chill and drink coffee with the boys.
>>18351470The Garmin Forerunner 165 is 42mm x 11mm x 47mm with 20mm lugs.That's a totally normal size for a sports watch. By smartwatch standards, it's tiny.I'm sure there are other bigger models, but it's not like they don't make the effort to make a watch that is normal sized.
>>183501601. No you don’t, I have this strap and I’ve taken my watch backpacking, on safari through Africa, in the ocean, countless other places and never washed it, although o did rinse it after some time in the desert. Strap and watch look completely fine2 & 3. This type of strap is the most comfortable strap I’ve ever had, you never even feel it>>18350106The real deal is absolutely worth $90 imo, especially for a tool watch you intend to use as such
>>18350106Tee bee haytch fabric straps of all kinds are kinda shitLook like shit, make your watch automatically look cheaper Wear like shit, not durable Fiddly as hell getting the right length but of course this is dependent on the typeAdds thickness, also type dependentWill stink of sweat if you wear them in hot weather (only advantage over leather is it won't happen as fast)Honestly rubber, resin, leather are way better, who cares about the springbar security honestly?

>>18351495That's not a normal size for a watch, it's on the large side. Below average for a smart watch is still huge for a watch.
>>18351393If you're going to brive the AD to sell tou a watch you may as well just buy it second hand.
can i wear a leather strap daily? will it look weird or will it disintegrate or something?
>>18351728>can i wear a leather strap daily? will it look weird or will it disintegrate or something?Yes, you can wear a leather strap daily.It will last for many years unless you wear it too tight and sweat too much or if you get it wet. Just let it dry out.
should I buy a mark xx?
>>18351745The last authentic swiss brand
>>18351745No. It's overpriced and the date position sucks
>>18351745Sure if you like it, but not brand new. Their MSRP, even after typical AD discounts, are wildly unrealistic.Unless you're desperate for the Mark XX, you can get a Mark XVI for around 2.5-2.6k USD.
>>18351748retard faggot
Happy new years everyone!This watch saved me a lot of money, whenever I think I should buy something I think back to it and I somehow don’t need whatever I want to buy any more. I’ll probably still buy a speedy white though when it comes down closer to 5.5k.

>>18351757What gave you the first clue?
>>18351758I mean why not? You have to be stupid to buy an authentic rolex when you can get 99% of the same experience at 1/20th of the price.
>>18351759Still, what gave you the first clue? How can you tell?
>>18351760Fine... Sorry. The gap here
>>18351761Weird, I don’t see it. What else do you think is fake.

A flap for the AAA battery.The time? It's on the menu page, along with the date. Sun/moon info available with a minimal interface - no calendars here.This is a watch for a guy is self reliant.

>>18351778kek. Looks like a 2010 smartphone glued onto your hand
>>18351770NTA but the biggest one is the skinny lugs that don't match the gen. Not really possible to spot without a gen side by sideAnd all fluted models with steel bezels instead of gold which is easy to tell as the hue of the gold is different. Why would anyone get a smooth bezel dj?
>>18351826Ahh okay thanks. I’m not a fan of the fluted bezel it looks old.
>>18351826If I could pick any datejust I wanted it would be smooth bezel with jubilee bracelet. I like the jubilee bracelets mostly for comfort reasons but they do add a good level of blong too, and I think the fluted bezel takes the blinginess a little too far for daily wear.
>>18351820Well, it's real. That's why it's avant guard.Current watches are basically what were for the railroad, airlines, NASA, and the military.This watch represents the most innovative watch for "operators" basically special forces commandos of various types, marines, berets, etc. The guys who actually will see the whites of Russian Spetznaz eyes.
>>18351778>excuse me handsome >what time is it?>in distance, speed or direction ma’am?
>>18351843How do you feel about anachronism? eg wearing clothes that don't suit the period of your watch?I consider the dividing line to be Velcro. Basically, 60's and 70's saw the unironic use of Velcro. That period is aligned with early electronic/digital watches. So, if you wear an early digital (or in the style) you should wear velcro shoes.Calculator watch, and related data watches, 90's."MAGA" chic. 2015 introduction: Apple WatchIf you want to wear modern fashion, I recommend the Garmin 801. It's the only thing that really clicks.
>>18351778correction, it has routes, it doesn't have courses
>>18351843Idk to me the smooth bezel datejust looks like an abortion. The old aesthetic of the fluted bezel works with the cyclops to be boomer core but taking the fluted bezel but keeping the cyclops ruins that it's like halfway in betweenI also dislike the cyclops on all other watches because it is old person coded but the fluted dj is an old style. Just get an OP it looks better at that point.
>>18351896I think part of the idea is the watch is supposed to grow old with you and as you age you won't have to worry about reading the date.
>>18351921Yeah, but who wears clothing from the 1950's?
>>18351945Are there clothes from the 1950s that we don't wear today?
>>18351953Anti-1950s clothes-bros?? Our response???
>>18351758>>18351763different anon:>same gap that anon already mentioned>date font that anon already mentioned >crown at 12 looks a little off>indices seem to be too close to the numbers, overall the dial does not look "balanced"
>>18351953First of all, if you are wearing an automatic, you must wear a fedora, or one of the fedora alternatives.
Kofe time.
If the superclones are so good, then how can you convince someone your rolex is original? Granted you actually feel the need to. >"I promise if we open the movement, you will see a free sprung balance--"or in cartiers case, it's impossible because the fakes are probably of higher quality with the Tank.Other brands you're like:>"Bro look at the *insert brands speciality here*"like thinnes of a Piaget, or spring drive/zaratsu/markers/dial of a GS, or case, bracelet and or movement of a royal oak, or the engravings of a glashütte OG, or the extremely high beat movement of a Zenith, or or or.....But when it comes to Rolex, what can you really do? Everything's mechanically finished anyway and it shows, too, under macro as seen by those san martin vs rolex comparison videos. You buy a rolex only for yourself at the end of the day because, even if they don't say it, they automatically assume it's a fake but you know that it's real.
>>18351974Wow you guys sure are experts in the matter.
>>18352002>how can you convinceThat's the beauty, you don't have to. Honestly it's almost better if people believe it's fake, they won't try to steal it or ask you for money.
>>18352002You pay for the brand and the design of the watch while still retaining a machined but very high standard for a watch that will last a lifetime. The design that hundreds if not thousands of other watch brands have been "inspired" by or straight up copied. Is it overpriced? Yes, every watch is. Do "better" watches exist out there for less or the same money? Absolutely. Do these other watches say "Rolex" on the dial? No.I would personally never buy one but I do own stupidly branded clothing so I'm not better.

Why would one still care about the Oldtilus when an objectively, subjectively, semiotically and metatextually superior version exists?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])

Wife wants to get me a watch for Christmas as a belated Christmas present. Can you guys suggest some $300 shitters? I already have a Seiko SKX, Sports GMT, and Orient Mako, along with a vintage Omega Seamaster and Hamilton for dressier watches. Any opinions on the Citizen Promasters?
>>18352417You and your wife should get divorced. You'll both be happier.That's a much better gift than a watch.
too big for me, fell in the toilet.
>>18352423And lose half my shitter collection in the divorce? Those watches cost me tens of dollars, and I can’t afford to lose them.

>>18352457What's up with people hating this guy here? Is it because he moved to Japan or the GS or what?
>>18352477He's a loser whos wife left him because his stupid ass cheated on her and to cope he began hiring (and even "dating") whores and making them pose with his watches to post here for attention, sometimes even posting unedited photos of people's faces, all trying to get anonymous internet clout and cope with wanting to kys. All he does is look for the next luxury item to flex with here. I question if he even likes watches beyond the flex of buying expensive things.

>>18352582Not really? In between your avatarfagging and attention whoring we actually have quite a lot of discussion about movements and manufacturing and relative pros and cons of various watches.

>>18352417>Any opinions on the Citizen Promasters?promasters seem solid and reliable. I have the eco drive dive watch version. I also have one or more from each jap brand (seiko, citizen, casio/gshock, orient). so a gshock may be another option.

Or does it need to be scrapped once it stops working? Is it even a forever never dies watch? Cos that kind of sounds impossible
>>18352978They can last up to 15-20 years, you can get them back running by changing the solar cel.
>>18352978most likely, the capacitor (rechargeable battery) needs to be eventually replaced if it doesn't hold charge, maybe a couple of decades at least.
