Do you miss the watches that you've sold/gifted?
>>18358399I gifted this beautiful piece. I don't miss it, as I know it will be treasured in its new home.
>>18358400
>>18358400I know that feeling. I know my friend appreciated it and he wears it almost daily.That's a very beautiful piece you've gifted m8. God bless.

I was recently redpilled by a friend about Vintage Longines and how beyond based they were pre-swatch.What's your favourite vintage brand? Hard mode: no seiko
>>18358399Meh, not really, i rarely wore them anyway.
>>18358408Why do you ask?
>>18358394>You may only post in this thread if you have a recognizable collection and or watch and want to contribute to the discussionWhat if I don't own a watch yet, but I'm looking to purchase one?
>>18358456In that case, this is probably the best place on the internet to ask for advice. People here own expensive watches and have a lot of experience wearing them
*ahem*
Is it okay to be into watches of you're poor?
>>18358415Universal Geneve, but only because of the Polerouter. Maybe vintage Heuer.
>>18358474Sure why not. Just don't become poorer because of watches, buy what you can afford. I am very poor and have 6 watches worth about 1,5k and i'm enjoying them a lot.
>>18358481What watches do you have, sir?
>>183584824 vintage Seikos, one modern and a modern Casio. You probably know them by now.
>>18358474casio, entry level gshock, chink brands with seiko or citizen movements, vintage. can be bought for $100 or less. check grey maket or sale days.
>>18358472AHEM
>>18358474When you get into watches, you enter a state whe you are poor no matter what unless you're an actual saudi prince>couldn't afford a real watch?>couldn't afford a Rolex?>couldn't afford precious metals?>couldn't afford a Patek?>couldn't afford the auction winner?>couldn't afford a piece unique?>couldn't afford a custom order?Just get the watch you like once you can pay for it twice, just in case it needs repair.
Reminder that being a obsolete handclock consoomer isn’t a hobby Watches were made for women
>>18358535>Watches were made for womenThey were made for military officers to use in WWI.
>>18358538>he doesn’t know
>>18358532As long as you have a loving wife by your side and time on your wrist you're never poor.
>>18358540Some early wristwatches were basically tiny movements encased in jewellery, yes.But wristwatches only took off after officers started wearing modified pocket watches on their wrists in combat.
>>18358543no they were not
>>18358541That’s mean,dude.
>>18358553Yes, they were too.
Wristwatches were considered feminine prior to the 20th century as men's fashion much preferred pocket watches. There were a few attempts at men's wristwatches like the cartier santos in 1911 but they didn't become fashionable for men until after world war 1, and even then many older men still preferred pocket watches.

>>18358753Would you trade solar power for a GMT and an internal compass bezel?
Hope you're having a comfy evening, frens.

There's nothing friendly about pushing your shit in everyone else's face.

>>18358873It’s a watch in a watch thread. Are you just being obtuse?
Nobody is pushing anything to your face.

If your watch is quartz or auto lower your tone when you're talking to me
>>18359057Same.
>>18359057My $100 ali watch is mechanical handwind
>>18359080That's funny, so is my $20k Patek.
>>18359091Damn, think of all the guns you could have bought with that remainder
>>18359094Oh, I have enough g--...ah, ah, you almost got me there, Fed. :^)
>>18359098You can never have enough guns. Can't have enough tools either. Think of the CNC table you could have bought and everything you could make with it and a pirated copy of solid works
>>18358641ok>>18358788these are neat. wish the newer gmt alpinists looked more like these.>>18358804these are cool. bit funky in terms of vintage seiko (before it went insane with the disco shit later)>>18358847not a quartz guy but this citizen is making me reconsider
>>18359111Fat fuck detected
>>18359111Nice. What's the bottom one?
>>18359111>>18359135Oh, it's a Hamilton Khaki Field customized for the 40th anniversary of Beams, the Japanese clothing brand.
>>18359147Ah shit I've seen BEAMS around quite a lot but never took a real look. Didn't know it was japanese.
Good early afternoon gents. I just caught up, very nice read.Thank you for staying friendly.I think it's time for a coffee.
>>18359160looks like the other guys citizen
I've decided I want to finally buy my first luxury watch and I'm struggling to decide between a 36mm Explorer 1 (ref. 124270) and a 38mm Aqua Terra (ref. 220.10.38.20.10.003). Help me decide bros.
>>18359162Probably the best compliment/praise a watch can get. Thank you.https://files.catbox.moe/t7iea6.mp4>>18359175Throw a coin, make it first to 5 (heads: explorer. Tails: aqua terra).If you're disappointed with the result or find yourself rooting for X, then you know the answer.
>>18359175They're both as exciting choices as a navy blue polo shirt with khakis
>>18359190What are some examples of exciting watches?
>>18359190>if it's not flashy it's bad
>>18359196>>18358847
>>18359198It's easy to point at the best watch of all time and call it exciting, yeah. Any other examples that aren't as obvious?
>>18359196Zenith ep primero zorroHamilton venturaBrew metricFarer bernina titaniumBerny compressorEtcAnything but a plain steel circle with plain indices or numbers
>>18359204not everyone likes tacky bullshit for the sake of being "interesting"
>>18359175Aqua Terra is gay as shit.Explorer is effay approved.
>>18359196Two Casio F-100's on one strap.
Do you personally care where your watches are being made? Does "in-house" influence your buying decisions?
>>18359213no I just the buy the opposite of what tasteless turks buy
>>18359224I'm not a fan of Chinese watches but to each his own
>>18359206You're the kind of guy to order a hamburger at an ethnic restaurant
>>18359230Post your collection so we can judge just how exciting you are.
Kofe time.
>>18359231I wear a samsung watch though, I would never actually buy anything. I just admire the alfa driver over the porche one as we all should.

>Rolex >OP/Daytona/Dd feels the same>same crown feeling>same bracelet fitment>Omega>speedy Pro>button feels like shit>gaps in bracelet>not free dropping>screws not aligned>well sir if you want the better finishing and feel you need to pay more for the Ed WhiteWhy is Omega the 2nd most popular when they do this upsell shit. You can buy an Explorer and be happy for life. You buy an omega and there’s a subjectively better version if you’re willing pay a few thousands more.
>>18359243Is there really such a big difference?
Ultra Luxury Coffee Time
Poorfag coffee time. I need to polish the crystal...
>>18359260And buy a couple of straps for it, this is the last one. I do have a couple of 18mm ones but i hate seeing the gap, even if it's just half a mill on either side.
>>18359259>>18359260Okay this is ultra based.
>>18359259>>18359260>>18359234Peak /wt/ right here. This is what it's all about.
>>18359243>buy omega for $7000>it comes with an acrylic crystal and steel bezel that scratches and dents>buy the pagani knockoff for $60>it comes with sapphire crystal and bezel
>>18359353What current omega comes with acrylic?
>>18359356Most speedmasters do but they call it "hesalite". It's just acrylic though. Some special editions will give you sapphire but the normal speedmaster professional is fucking acrylic.
>>18359359But anon, that is the watch that went to the Moon.The MOOON anon, MOOOOON.
>>18359359I think hesalite is glass?
Bioceramic + hesalite + rubber is god tier combo
>>18359254I mean the Ed White is hand assembled by one person, the pro is kinda mass produced.
>>18359418The CITIZEN
>>18359418Nice watch fren.
>>18359369No it's acrylic. The sapphire used to have a milky ring around the edge, but they fixed that with the newest blue version. The original had hesalite as well.
>>18359383Swatch pls stop selling me plastic
>>18359359>Some special editions will give you sapphirenah you could order a 'sapphire sandwich'

Best g-shock for first time buyer? Small wrist (16cm)
>>18359997Casioak steel
>>18359997DW-5600. It has the classic G-Shock design and it's inexpensive. Since your wrist is small and these are big watches, the rectangular shape might be best; it'll look less like a dinner plate than a circular one.
Happy New Year and a belated Merry Christmas! Wishing you all happiness and good health for 2025! Be excellent to each other, and buy what you love!

Kofe time>>18360218Looks good, i like how they went with red instead of orange
>>18360347There's a carbon monochrome version coming up as well.
>>18360384>Paying more for a plastic caseYep, it's Swatch.
>>18360386Classic. They didn't even make it smaller.
>>18360392No. They're not allowed to because Swatch don't want their Chinese-made Longines shitters competing with their Chinese-made Omega shitters.In all honesty, buying a modern Longines just marks you out as an easily gulled rube who doesn't know what quality is.

>>18360482Nope.
>>18360542You forgot to attach a pic of your garbage watch, cockroach.
>>18360543Where's your watch, faggot retard?
>>18360546Here it is, now post your puke-inducing Tudor or your copetastic totally-just-like-an-eichii quartz Seik- oh sorry, "Credor"
>>18360454San martin does unironically trounce most entry level "luxury" swiss watches in the $1000-3000 range. The problem is you have a san martin logo on your watch lmao
>>18360553Lmfao @ dat poorfag wannabe flex.No Tudor or Credor here tho.
>>18360553LMAO what did you do, type "Rolex" into eBay and sort price low to high?Get the fuck outta here, trying to flex with a franken that costs less than some fucking Seikos. lmfao
>>18360553Wristlets... You never learn, do you? Retard
>>18360556>>18360558Faggot is like 50 years old too. Dude's got liver spots.
>>18360553I remember you.You're that manlet wristlet krautcuck. Nice to see you here again, fren. KEK
>>18359520phelous?!
>>18360218How do like the Ultra-Chron? I've been considering it, love the red and the dial.
>>18360553your wrist is skinnier than my dick lmao nice rep btw
>fake shitter>dress like a clown>wristlet>get clowned on 4chanQuite funny, really
>>18360599Proper chunker. Quite heavy (more so with the bracelet, I reckon). Wears nicely though. Compact in spite of its size. The strap it came with is decent, a bit too stiff for my liking. Runs at +2/3s per day from what I noticed. The bezel is super satisfying to use.
>>18360684>Runs at +2/3s per daySo "Ultra-chron" is not as good as Superlative Chronometer.More money down your toilet, I guess.
Grandpa must have missed his meds today.
>>18360553lmfao that has to be at least 40 years old.
>>18360687It sounds like it could be within the same range of tolerance. Superlative chronometer and metas both have a 4 second tolerance range.
>>18360907COSC has -4/+6 I think.
>>18360907Superlative is -2/+2METAS is -0/+5COSC is -4/+6
>>18360965>>18360929Yes, so 2-3 seconds is still within those ranges of accuracy.
>>183610162 seconds per day would. 3 seconds per day would not meet the Superlative standard.
>>18361018How does my casio rank
>>18358584But the new pocket watch is a phone and only women look at those in public
>>18361039It's actually funny how many women judge men by whether they have a late model iPhone or not.
>>18361018In terms of tolerance it would. The difference between -2 seconds and +2 seconds is 4 seconds.
>>18361049That's the wrong way to look at accuracy. That's precision.Accuracy is essentially how far you're allowed to be from the true time.In the case of METAS, it's 5 seconds. In the case of Superlative, it's 2 seconds.Precision is the spread of values..A watch that is between 50 and 51 seconds fast every day is more precise than a watch that is between 0 and 3 seconds fast per day.
>>18361092What isthe difference in this context? We're talking about how far a watch deviates a day. 2 seconds is 2 seconds, it's not any better or worse between the rolex standard and the Longines dude was shitting on.
>>18361137That might be true but it doesn't say ROLEX on the dial
had a turk walk into my watch shop today(yes I am very rich, rolex ad btw) and it smelled worse than a finn in a sauna. god damn I hate migrants and bean based drinks. >here’s todays wristshot
>>18360811qrd on this watch? Why is it getting spammed here?
Do you guys peel the foreskin back or let it hang over?
>>18361155Well, you see, it's the best watch of all time.
>>18361170I wear a shorter sleeve.
>>18361175? Why? Is this a "thing" around here as in meme watch?
>>18361170I roll up my left sleeve but not my right sleeve. Then I say, "Yeah, it's a Journe."
