>"why are luxury watches so expensive??!"I never understood that argument. That's the whole point of luxury products.
>>18353599>mfw affordable luxury
>>18353601I missed those memes. Anybody have the original OP text?
>>18353611Nvmhttps://imgur.com/a/how-to-create-unique-successful-minimalist-watchbrand-6CNO8Found it
*ahem*
>>18353599Well yes and no. There are things that justify the prices of luxury items, especially in the watch world. Mainly the time it takes to make the finished product by hand. An Atelier Wen would cost multiple times as much if it were to be finished in Switzerland. A chinese watchmakers' loan is miniscule compared to a swiss one. As we know, that's the loophole used in the "swiss made" label to get that 60%Obviously they ["justifiable" expensive watches] are still massively overpriced, but at least it's not a sweater made in cambodia that costs 3$ to produce yet sells for 600$
>>18353614But why Tudor and not wait/save up a bit longer for a Rolex?
>>18353626cause tudor does it better and cheaper loljust look at the evolution of the subwent from soul to slop
>>18353626Tudor is legitimately doing stuff Rolex isn't doing. They have their own strengths and reasons for buying them.
>>18353655Such as? Not shitposting or whatever, genuine question
>>18353681Classic submariner proportions. If you want vintage submariner features with aluminum bezels and no crown guards and smaller dimensions and you don't want to put up with the fuckery and costs of shopping around for decent vintage examples Tudor offers good options where modern Rolex won't.

>>18353731Thank you, fren. How's 2025 treating you so far?That food looks delicious, you're lucky to enjoy such experiences in your life.
>>18353742So far so good. I think might have a clear goal for this year. Probably moving in together soon, so that's a big help.What about you?
Thoughts?
Sometimes I wish I remained blissfully ignorant to the dirt of the watch industry and how everything is a marketing scam. Zero transparency, half truths, outright lies, overpriced BS, nothing being authentic anymore. I just want to think that my PRX is actually swiss and made with care and love... I don't want my 3000$ watch to be outclassed in finishing by a 200$ chinese shitter....
>>18353771Meh, that date... I really like that limited edition, the colorway is great.
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])
>>18353757That's great news. Have you already picked out the whore you're going to cheat on her with?
>>18353824Makes me even more happy to see WhoreAnon succeed in life knowing it will exponentially increase your bitter seethe.
>>18353825Hi Whoretadello.
>>18353771Four sharty date ruins it
>>18353772If you splash out 500 more you will know that the watch you buy is probably more Swiss made than the tossit lol. At least they say that they don't charge more than 3x what the watch costs to make for CW which is probably way higher than the Tissot costs
>>18353771>Can't afford a Royal Oak or Nautilus?It's not called the Overseethe for nothing.

>>18355228Yeah, but you have to wear a leather jacket.
>>18355265A watch should tell you where you are. That's why it's called a "watch".

>>18355392Brutal mogging by chadsio here in all aspects but movement. Soiko on suicide watch
Bought a Tissot Le Locle. I am a poor third worlder so it is the most I can afford. Nevertheless, I am happy as it is nice watch.I wish they sold it with the original ETA 2824-2 movement though. Couldn't find that anywhere except some used watches priced way too much for a used watch, so 3hz it is for me. Anyways, great watch. I plan on wearing it everyday.
>>18355392>>18355395>date on 4:30>on a fucking chrono
For me, and many other enlightened individuals, perfection is The Citizen Chronomaster.It is here to remind you just how much value and finesse you can get with your money. To the laymen it is completely invisible and non existent. “Citizen? Yeah, you can buy that at the mall.” No, not this one. This one is locked behind its country of origin, a JDM only model. See, Japan is not sending its best when they fill the shelves on your mall, the best, they keep for themselves. To even know this anomaly exists you’d have to be one of the most accomplished watch enthusiasts on the planet. Simply put, this timepiece exists to show what they are all about. It is one of the most accurate stand-alone watches in the world (the more accurate being another Citizen), it has a thermally compensated, fully jeweled high precision, high accuracy, shock resistant, hand position correcting quartz movement fully sealed in 100m water resistant case. It is powered by a solar cel that will keep this timepiece going for at least 15 years without the need to open up the case. To top it off the movement has a perpetual calendar which makes this watch one of the few true JDM GADA grails.All this cutting edge horological technology is encased in a duratect coated stainless steel case paired with a double anti-reflective coated sapphire crystal and a oyster style (the longest lasting) bracelet. As a final blow to any other watch on the planet this piece comes with a world class zaratsu style finishing, putting ALL other timepieces in its price category to shame. It even is JIS-1 anti-magnetic resistant.It truly is the best watch ever made, and it can be had for under 2000 €. You may not like it, but this is what peak true horology looks like.
>>18355412>No, not this one. This one is locked behind its country of origin, a JDM only model.

>>18355412Für mich und viele andere aufgeklärte Individuen ist Perfektion die Citizen Chronomaster.Sie erinnert daran, wie viel Wert und Finesse man für sein Geld bekommen kann. Für den Laien ist sie völlig unsichtbar und nicht existent. „Citizen? Ja, das gibt’s doch im Einkaufszentrum.“ Nein, nicht diese Uhr. Diese hier ist ausschließlich in ihrem Ursprungsland erhältlich, ein JDM-Modell (Japanese Domestic Market). Japan schickt nicht das Beste ins Ausland – das Beste behalten sie für sich. Um überhaupt zu wissen, dass dieses Anomalie existiert, muss man einer der erfahrensten Uhrenliebhaber der Welt sein.Einfach ausgedrückt: Diese Uhr existiert, um zu zeigen, was Citizen wirklich ausmacht. Sie gehört zu den präzisesten autonomen Uhren der Welt (noch präziser ist nur eine andere Citizen). Sie verfügt über ein thermisch kompensiertes, vollständig gelagertes Hochpräzisions-Quarzwerk mit Stoßfestigkeit und automatischer Zeigerkorrektur, das in einem 100 Meter wasserdichten Gehäuse versiegelt ist. Angetrieben wird sie durch eine Solarzelle, die diese Uhr mindestens 15 Jahre lang ohne Öffnung des Gehäuses betreiben kann. Dazu kommt ein ewiger Kalender, der diese Uhr zu einem der wenigen echten GADA-Grails des JDM-Markts macht.All diese fortschrittliche Uhrentechnologie steckt in einem Duratect-beschichteten Edelstahlgehäuse, gepaart mit einem doppelt entspiegeltem Saphirglas und einem Oyster-Armband (dem langlebigsten seiner Art).Als ob das nicht genug wäre, bietet dieses Modell ein weltklasse Zaratsu-Finish, das alle anderen Uhren in seiner Preiskategorie in den Schatten stellt. Es ist sogar JIS-1 antimagnetisch resistent.Dies ist wahrhaftig die beste Uhr, die je hergestellt wurde – und sie ist für unter 2000 € erhältlich. Vielleicht gefällt es dir nicht, aber das ist wahre Spitzenhorologie.

>>18353614I actually like the Tudor more but as a white man (Aryan (Germanic)) I cannot be seen wearing the entry level of anything. If Tudor was at least an independent brand like Omega I suppose I could buy one. But as it stands me, a white man, cannot wear this cheap watch, no matter its merits of Rolex-and they are numerous, personal taste aside. Had they kept the rose I guess I could CBT myself into buying one, I would smash my BW, my massive Aryan, my vandal arabicaussy destroy C(OCK) with a huge stone and say: that's it, I'm buying a Tudor, I just love the stamped on Tudor rose, that's a nod to history I like, something actually meaningful compared to the generic Rolex crown dazzling Chinks (what is it? a coronet? does it denote a marquis or a baron? then how come it's so cheap even a knight could afford such a watch)BUT alas! every Tudor is graced by a boring Shield

I like collecting watches, but, as many before me, I reached the conclusion that I don't want to regularly wear more than three watches. In fact, I end up wearing pic related for the vast majority of the year. So much so that other watches feel "off" to me. When I hear or read or think "watch", I associate it with the feeling of the white birch. It's probably a sign of me having found what I'm looking for in life and have no need to look no further. I still enjoy reading and talking about watches, about innovations or clever designs, but I stopped thinking of acquiring another one. Friends of mine have done kinda the same. One is wearing his Tank and Santos back to back while he owns at least 30 watches in his collection, another one is wearing exclusively his orient, and I haven't see another friend of mine wear anything but his panerai carbon for at least 6 months now. Is that what "exiting the game" feels like?I only wear my moser on special occasions and my tudor when I'm doing rough things like mountain hikes or sports.
>>18357367Great timing. How's it going m8? And which one was your most worn watch in 2024?
>>18357372Howdy! Just woke up. The Omega, I think, takes the first place once again.
>>18357374Decent, decent. Hope you have a great day m8.
>>18357375Same to you, brother!
>>18357369>Is that what "exiting the game" feels like?Yes, once you find "it" all the other watches become less relevant and you almost feel guilty not wearing "it"
>>18357401Not guilty exactly, but I understand what you're saying. It's more like, to me at least, "I should've worn "it" instead"-type of thoughts.
>>18357408In my case the watch being pure auto with a low-ish power reserve with the accuracy suffering if i have to top it up from zero doesn't help, ideally i should wear it every day. I should realy buy myself a cheap winder.
>>18357431Get a spring drive. They last forever

>>18356862If your wrist is 6.5, that a Speedmaster reduced you're wearing.
>>18357557Smart thinking.
>>18357581I have this watch and honestly it is the best watch ever made.>438 times better than COSC performance>Perpetual calendar>Deadbeat seconds>7 months power reserveLet me guess, you need more?The high accuracy thermally compensated quartz movement keeps it on the EXACT time pretty much always. plus it has a perpetual calendar that you'll never have to set again.It also comes very nicely packaged with a mixed zaratzu polished and brushed case with a super comfy and solid bracelet. The double coated antireflective sapphire crystal is so clear you don't even realize it's there.Anons seethe at it though, must mean I'm doing something right.Cheers.
>>18357586>Perpetual calendar What? How?
>>18357590Some rock inside the watch was forced to remember the Gregorian calendar till the year 2100 or smth.
>>18357592I didn't know this was a 5 digit watch. Always thought it was cheap cause citizen.
Citizen THE Citizen.The Citizen watch brand symbolizes quality. Citizen designs for every citizen, ensuring each Citizen watch resonates with its citizen customers. Citizen's precision makes every citizen proud of Citizen craftsmanship.
>>18357590>>18357592The genius of it is that it doesn't need to tell YOU the month or year. You should know that anyway. The important thing is that it knows the month and year, so the date is always displayed correctly.
I'm thinking about filtering citizen but I don't want to filter legitimate discussion of citizens, just the inane attention whoring spam.
>>18357605Ok.
>>18357605Why do you dislike watch discussion so much, fren? We're literally talking about a watch. It so happens that the watch's technical excellence can't be covered in just a few posts.
>>18357608I don't need to read the same things about your watch every hour on the hour.
>>18357614But it's not the same thing. We could talk for hours about THE CITIZEN's solar charging capability or the excellence of its finishing or the insane value proposition or any number of factors that make it LITERALLY the greatest watch ever manufactured by humanity, but in this case, it's the calendar functionality we're talking about.
We really couldn't
>>18357619Why so bitter? Why not post a watch and join in the fun, fren? What's on your wrist today?
>>18357560>If your wrist is 6.5, that a Speedmaster reduced you're wearing.It's not though it's a 3861.
>>18353599who are you quoting
>>18357553>anon rocks 30k in watches daily and eats out every single day in Michelin restaurants>some internet randoms feel sorry for him being so poorYou couldn't post more obvious seethe even if you tried kek
>>18357639>30k in watcheslmao that number keeps climbing.
>>18357640Luxury watches tend to go up in price, you'd know that if you owned one..
>>18357641>Luxury watches tend to go up in price,Not after they've been purchased and dinged up.But let's humor Whoretadello.>Grand Seiko SLGA009Used on C24, between 6 and 6.2k USD. His is in horrifically beat up condition and couldn't sell for 4k at this point, but we'll ignore that.>Tudor Black Bay CeramicUsed on C24, between 2.9k and 3.1k USD>Moser Pioneer 40mmUsed on C24, between 9.7k and 12.3k USD(This does not include the laughably high prices for watches that will never sell, like the guy who thinks he can sell a used Tudor BB Ceramic for 4.8k USD)Sum that all up and it's between 18.6 and 21.6k USD.Where's the remaining 8.4k to get to 30k?
>>18357651Another thing to remember is that he'd not be able to get anything close to that if he tried to sell off his collection himself. Private sale is always lower.
>>18357639They serve takoyaki at michelin restaurants? It's a street food though
>>18357651>>18357653ok whatever nerd lmfao
>>18357560He has it slid up his arm you retard.
>>18357661I accept your concession
Is it relatively safe trying to buy a 70's tank on chrono24? I'd normally be worried about fakes, but I'm after a very specific reference and I'm hoping a vintage watch is less likely to be a fake in this context.
>>18357672A vintage Cartier might not be an out and out fake, but it definitely could be a franken. That's extremely common among vintage watches, since parts are easy to come by.A spare case and dial from someone's service pile, and movement stripped out from a worthless watch can be quickly bodged together into a brand new watch.Ask as many questions as you want from the seller, get pictures of the movement, etc. If he acts dodgy in the slightest, walk away.
What are you, poor?
>Wake up>Make tea >Check emails, LINE, Telegram, Signal>Check discord >>Check /wt/>...Can we just talk watches and shit on YouTubers? Let's not fight each other. If you're not feeling well here in this avatarfren thread, go to the other one which was made specifically for you.
>>18358092How do you feel about the Citizen AQ4080-52A or other watches within the The Citizen sub-brand?
>>18357639Joke is on you, nobody believes in anything that you have posted. The places that you go are pretty cheap, your watch is cheap and nobody cares about >>18358092Poor guy you are (alone and filthy)
>>18358096I'd say it's an anomaly in the watch wor-No jokes aside, think about it. You buy it, set it once and never have to think about it again for 20 years. In a "Johatsu" scenario, it will be one of the very few items that you will be taking with you. Inawoods, on an island, mountains etc. no GPS, no radio, no Bluetooth just God's passing of time, naturally. Kept alive by the power of the sun. And 10 years later, without setting it once, you will STILL have the correct time AND date because it got a perpetual calendar (which is normally reserved only for watches costing at least 5 times as much). So how is it not the best watch of all time? I don't know. And for ¥300K NEW? it's disgusting, simply disgusting that we don't talk about this watch more often.Pic related, while keeping great time too, would break after cutting down just one tree.
>>18358137Did you end up selling your Credors?
>>18358139No. They're back in Germany still. Don't plan on selling them.The only time I would consider it is when I am going to initiate plan eichi. Where I sell every watch I have and buy an Eichi II and never look back. But that scenario won't ever come.
>>18358144>But that scenario won't ever come.Why not? How much could it possibly cost? What are you doing for a living these days? Still doing the tourist thing or working in Japan?
Japanese is such a funny language. They have romantic words like "Johatsu" to describe being a deadbeat divorced bum.
>>18358165Holy shit he's right.>The term jōhatsu started being used in the 1960s. At that time, it was used in the context of people who decided to escape unhappy marriages rather than endure formal divorce proceedings.
>>18358165You're so Obsessed that you actually looked it up kek
Great thread, guys.
>>18358224The theory is that he [bitter] is actually japanese because we found a reddit account that re-posts /wt/ screenshots and is in the same time zone as Whoreanon. If he's indeed japanese then it would explain a lot. A more popular theory is that he's indian. My guess is he's either tourettecell or the Lange guy because after the Lange guy got threatened by some other anon here, a vigilante of some sorts, that he knows who he [lange] is by revealing his initials or something like that, he [Lange] completely stopped posting ever since. I'm not Loretadello but I've been around.
>>18358248Lange guy stopped posting because he was outed as a manlet.
>>18358255Go on....
Brahs... need actual watch advice for once. As you know I am pretty much a wristlet at 7". I was thinking about what is the biggest g shock I could pull off?Ideally with radio time synchronization (no satellite for my opsec fetish) and solar and ideally with inverse colors (black dial and white numerals) bcs it looks cool to me
>>18358257He tried to flex (in a different thread on /fa/ no less) with his expensive dress shirt. People recognized him by his watch. No one cared about the shirt itself once they noticed the size on the label.The hostile defensiveness with which he responded confirmed that he was, in fact, a manlet. This led to all sorts of clowning on him as all his other expensive possessions were intended to compensate for his lack of height.
>>18358259ChatGPT said GW-M5610 is the max size i can pull off. (It also said I need to leave my wife if I want to live my best life which is true but I am weak)
>>18358259Well you're clearly looking at a casio Edifice solar line or any Citizen Eco Drive model, really.
>>18358268No I am strategically choosing a digital watch for work as my strategy of flying under the radar. I theorized that my current watch is too great for my own good
>>18358260I try to not be mean in life about people who're less fortunate with things that they can't change, but to me, being short as a Man is probably a nightmare. Really I'm not shitposting or whatever. It really is a very very bad luck of the draw. If you got a long nose, it's fixable.If you got crooked teeth? Fixable.Bald? By now, easily fixable.Bad chin? Floppy ears? Etc. ALL fixable.But being short? Well... It really is unfair and I don't wish this to anyone in my life. But from my experience so far, not a single manlet, Ever, did Not have an inferiority complex or anger towards society. They are all completely self aware of that fact, and it hurts. I was a very late bloomer so trust me, I know, it hurts beyond belief.
>>18358271It's true that design wise it doesn't get much better than your Armani, I give you that, but going digital..? What about AnaDigi? 50/50
>>18358278It's truly a strategy for my professional image. I cannot go into detail. I also think digital watches are an insult to the sun as they are too ugly to see the light of day. At least that is how they compare to a nice analog.But I am quite impressed with features such as solar, radio, perp cal and also cheapSo yes
>>18358275>Bald? By now, easily fixable.I wish.........
Why are all these watches round? It's the 20th century already, we invented the square.
>>18358329Name 3 square watches that aren't Cartier or Jackie Chan
>>18358335Foretrex 701, 801, 901.
>>18358282
I have no intention of buying a Rolex. Are people at official Rolex stores fun to talk to?
>>18358366...What sort of conversation do you plan to have?
>>18358368I dunno. Watches, horology, history of watches, different styles and how they evolved, the things people do to make sure they get a watch.It's by a train station so I find myself killing time around it a lot but I've never gone inside. I think the whole buttering them up for "the call" is a bit demeaning and I don't want to subject myself to that for some jewelry but they must be at least a little interesting to talk to.
>>18358369If it's a slow time of day for them, maybe they'd talk to you about watches and the industry. But is your plan to pretend you want to buy a watch? That doesn't seem fun and they'll sense you're not serious.
>>18358370Absolutely not. I just want to go in and shoot the shit if I have a moment by the store. I did that at a wood block art gallery and enjoyed it so I wanna see if I can have more fun conversations at other shops.I'd be down to buy one if it wasn't such a process, but just from hearing about it, it sounds icky and bootlicky.
>>18358369Is this AI or some turbo autist?
>>18358369Nigga you for real?The sales reps just want to sell you a watch, they don't care about the history or horology other than to appear knowledgeable on the surface level. If you're not looking to buy or to get wait listed they'll just escort you out the store.
>>18358375It surprised me too how little the sales people actually know about watches. It's not only surface level, it's even less than that.
NEW THREAD WHEN
>>18358380NOW!?
If you aren't intending to buy a Rolex but still want to talk to people at the AD... Idk go in there and ask to be put on the list for some sort of unobtainium Rolex like a rainbow one or something.
>>18358386I'd be terrified that they'd have one of those available.
NEW>>18358394NEW>>18358394NEA>>18358394
>>18358373Just go in and tell them straight that you like watches and have some time to spare waiting for a train and see where that takes you.
>>18358259I have a black face 5600 variant and the screen is sometimes unreadable. I have to angle it from a light souce to read the time, or activate the lcd light. check a gshock with MIP screen for black face or just get a regular white face.
