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?
>>18360878He must literally be here 24/7 because he makes sure to troll every single thread in the first few posts.What a sad life he leads. I'll unironically feel bad when he drinks himself to death.Anyway,>>18360805>Speaking of which, what would be the cheapest officially certified chronometer?Tissot Heritage? It's like 850 bucks MSRP, but you can probably get it gray market for less.
>>18360884kill yourself
In a world where men shout out their vitues, the Rolex owner and the Tudor owner stand apart. The Rolex owner doesn't need to say anything about himself. Anyone who looks at his wrist knows that he's a man of temperance, refinement, patience, and unyielding will. Where the Rolex owner is like a man carved from stone, the Tudor owner simply needs to stand by the Rolex owner's side and his watch says, "I'm basically like him, just a little shorter, a little fatter, with a little less hair, and I make a little less money. You know he and I are basically cousins, though?"
Wait I thought this was the bittercel free thread
TUDOR Black Bay 54:The GOAT of watches. Scientists have confirmed it—diminishing returns hit everyone else, but not this masterpiece. No need to debate. It’s settled.
>>18360884Tudor is literally toopoorIt's literally Rolexe's pre-entry level offer.Because if Rolex had an entry offer that low under it's brand name, it would devaluate the brand. So Hans Wilsdorf created an entire brand out of Rolex spare parts and made it the unofficial-official real entry offer.;tldr Tudor is, and forever will be, the 'toopoor for Rolex' brand
>>18360912>rolex parts>made in the same factory>cheaperIm not super autistic about watches, but that isnt a great argument for buying a rolex
>>18360919The most important part, the movement, was not the same. Rolexes got the expensive movements, Tooters got off-the-shelf ETA shitters.
>>18360923>Tooters got off-the-shelf ETA shittersNot anymore, at least not for the black bays. It's not like a rolex movement should justify a doubling (or more) in price either.
>>18360923eh, I dont really care about that. For me the looks are all that matter, who really cares if the watch is a few seconds off every once in a while. its an accessory at the end of the day
People here almost never talk about Armitron
>>18360926San martin is for you then and you have a choice between seiko or sellita
>>18360935Armitron is like a timex but even shittier
>>18360939I like hearing my Timex tick from across the room. It's reassuring.
>>18360937seems pretty good. Im also open to replicas, trying to find a good replica of pic related
>>18360940One is fine but when you have more than one you become captain hook
any final thoughts on textile straps
>>18360972I don't like them. It's fine if you do though. If anyone else likes or dislikes them it's of no consequence.
I'm gonna buy a cheap rep Rolex and show it to people like it's real. shove it in their face and act superior. they'll be too nervous to make a scene about how it's obviously fake. it'll be spelled Rolox. then later I'll cum on it, clean it, and do it again the next day
Does anyone else prefer hand-winding movements to automatics?
>>18360978ASTRONAUTS who WALK on the MOON.
>>18360972For me, its fluoro rubber > leather > milanese/mesh >>> textile >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> linked bracelet (fat fucks only)
>>18360884Precision in a non quartz or digital watch shouldn't even be a factor tbqhwyf
>>18360948You can buy a Casio that exactly like that
>>18360991does a Casio tell the time tho?
>>18360978>Does anyone else prefer hand-winding movements to automatics?Yeah. Definitely.A hand-winding movement can be made thinner and stronger, easier to give it a longer power reserve.With a hand-winding movement, you wind it up in the morning and you know exactly how long it will run. With an automatic movement, unless it has a power reserve, you never quite know how long it will run before stopping.
>>18360993The casio does everything except tell the time.
>>18360994I just put my automatic on my dogs collar to charge it
>>18360871I like AP design but hate how they are hype watches and alot of people i dislike wear them
Notice how the BB54 absolutely and completely scientifically mogs the other two watches?Yeah... it’s the GOAT for a reason.
>>18361055Literally the worst of the 3
>>18361055It does mog actually
>>18361063sorry bro
>>18361055No, it's got the worst design of the three. Completely incoherent mishmash of elements from a dozen different watches from different decades crammed into a weak attempt at making a vintage-inflected watch.The other two have designs that you can trace back through the decades. The only reason you'd pick the tooter is because you're too poor to afford a Santos or an Explorer.
>>18361071>made up statsOK, I actually laughed. You make a good clown.
>>18361055If it didn't have the snowflake hand I'd agree. Ruins thole watch for me personally.
>>18361076
>go nowhere do nothing watch
>>18361076>Completely incoherent mishmash of elements from a dozen different watches from different decades crammed into a weak attempt at making a vintage-inflected watch.That's the entire Black Bay line.Faux patina lume, faux gilt dials, faux rivets.Snowflake hands, but no snowflake dial? Why not?
>>18361100>lame and gay copy of a historic thing>actual historic thingYou're not too bright, are you?
>>18361106>muh history
>>18360871coolness
>>18361076The bb actually looks cool while an explorer looks like an unreal engine paid asset and the carter is ruined by the warts all over it
>>18361103Sorry ma'am but it looks cool
>tupoor >shitizen
>>18361055Have you actually bought it yet? Or are you still saving your pennies, little bro?
>>18361122Basterd I am buying the invecta bloody bitch

>>18361125>>18361127Seagull 1963 40mm sapphire mechanical chronograph for $160
>>18361134>>18361127not that chink
>>18361132Tandorio gets you an aachen for $60
>>18361139If you're going to get a cheap miyota or seiko movement anyway what exactly is the reason to buy anywhere else but ali express lol
>>18361132Luv me Stowa
>>18361139>diver
>>18361157
>>18361157The chinese know how tag to sell unlike stipid white pigskin
>>18361151Wish they still sold this one, after purchasing a marine 36 not too long ago, I've been really eying their fliegers.
>>18360983Same but put bracelet at the top
>>18361201Marine 36 is based
>>18361125.
is there a reason i shouldnt buy some chinese $120 watch with beautiful interesting visuals? i dont care about spending $1000 on a "swiss" watch. dont care about cogs. i want a unique piece. but i also dont want to die to lead poisoning
>>18361232That's a good lookin shartin' buy it
>>18361125i just discovered chink watches. is this a gold mine? i can get a dozen watches with a wide variety of looks for a wide variety of fits for the price of one Bauhaus "European" watch. are these chink watches made of plastic or something?
>>18361236No, they just don't have the logo you want
>>18361210Love this watch. I was eyeing it for a while, couldn't decide between Arabics or Romans though. Coincidentally this one went up for sale locally so I pulled the trigger, pretty sure this was the right decision.
>>18361239It's definately a watch
Oh my science, it's so attractive...
>>18361240thats not a watch, its a clock on a wrist>>18361237im fine with that, im not spending my time with people who would care about the logo on a watch thankfully. but being a male and having a wrist accessory is sometimes just whats needed
>>18361243Then you should get a few and see if you like them. You'll be pleasantly surprised how much fucking better they are than anything else within 5x the price range from a name brand
>>18361242It could be cute if it were thicker and had a T H I C C C domed saphire crystal
>>18361236>are these chink watches made of plastic or something?that's the funny thing, these aliX brands offer sapphire and sometimes titanium in sub-$100 watches
>>18361252Ali slaughters everything under $5000
very nice, brother!
>>18361247>cuteWhy are all Casio wearers bottoms... either way, never seen one live, so idk maybe.Will get one if I pass this exam as a treat to myself
Kofe time.
>>18361309I mean it looks like an iwatch without the thiccc crystal it needs
>>18361312That's a nice rock you got there.
