>>18363158Why would you sell a boating instrument to people who don't have boats?
>>18363158I did some research on which rolexes are for negros and found they seem to like the day date the best due to the fluting being blingy. But I did find that kanye has a yachtmaster ii
>>18363162For the same reason no actual diver use diver watches
>>18363163Kanyes the kind of black man who would own slaves if he could
>>18363144Count those pennies, little buddy. You'll get there. WAGMI.
>>18363164Because they're obsolete. Mechanical watches are the same larp as buying military repro clothing and selvege denim
>>18363164A generic watch with a watertight case and timing bezel is way more practical and useful than a big ugly fucker with a complicated 10 minute egg timer.
>>18363171You mispelled gshock
>>18363172I didn't.
>buy microbrand watch>the quality control is worse than Aliexpress brands
>>18363163ice poseidon was on a cruise ship a while ago with nick white and he met a new friends at the bar who happened to be black and wear a sky dweller
>>18363171Strictly speaking, watches are obslete tools like >>18363170 said.Their only remaining function is looking good as jewelry so talking about functionality is pointless. A diver will use a computer like pic. A yatch owner won't have any use for a yatchmaster because he is not piloting his boat. The captain will have a gorillion sensor and screens to guide the yatch. Your phone is better at telling the time than a mechanical watch.
>>18363177Don't feel too bad. Everyone's gotten memed by a microshitter at one point or another. Hopefully they have a good return policy.
>>18363177>buy name brand watch like omega, hamilton, seiko, etc>the materials and features are worse than a $60 ali express watch
>buys a watch without seeing it firsty'all never learn
>>18363177Name the brand. I like those brews but I would never spend $500 on a fucking seiko mechaquartz
>>18363144>watch for women and sissy manlets>perfectLMAO

>sapphire crystal>titanium case and bracelet>100m WR>radio controlled solar quartz>change time zones easilywhy buy a luxury watch, when a Casio can do it all and look this nice?
>>18363180But if you're going to wear a watch it makes way more sense to wear a submariner than a yachtmaster2, which is what we're discussing.
>>18363184Because they typically sell direct to the customer, lots of micros are usually pretty good about letting you return a watch if you don't like it.CH Ward is (or was in 2020, at least. I don't know about now).>Ordered a Twelve>It arrives, I notice that it's a complete piece of shit>I ask to return it and they take it back, no questions asked.That's probably the only thing the AliExpress watches do poorly, handle returns, but that's hardly worth the premium the micros charge.
>>18363192How are you measuring perfection?
>>18363199Whats wrong with the 12?
>>18363200>How are you measuring perfection?By the count of (You)s he gets every time he spams that same fucking image.
>>18363201>Whats wrong with the 12?Poorly put together, squeaky bracelet. Sharp, unfinished edges all over the place. It just felt cheap.
>>18363200>>18363202The five stages of grief denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance
>>18363198The guy i was originally arguing with was saying the yatchmaster is a boating instrument so the target market is boat owners and this makes no sense because the yatchmaster is a shit boating tool no one actually uses for boats.The only mechanical watch that makes sense to wear is the one that looks good or fits your made up taste in coolness of the engineering. Whatever was its original use as a tool doesn't matter.
>>18363188Dudes way cooler and more successful than you wore submariners with suits IRL.
Blue lume looks better than green lume.
>>18363209I imagine if you did have a yacht and a bunch of buddies who also had yachts you would use your yachtmaster2 complication. Just like anyone who occasionally needs to measure periods of time less than one hour(most people) can benefit from a submariner.
>>18363214You wouldn't because you won't pilot your yatch. You have a crew for that. Any form of time measuring that doesn't need sensors is done better by your phone.
>>18363192Where do the Glock watches come in on the perfection scale?
>>18363216You're running across the field to the complete opposite goal post.
>>18363219No. You are making up scenarios that don't exist.
>>18363211>Blue lume looks better than green lume.True, but green lume is brighter and lasts longer.
>>18363220>wanting to time something for periods less than or greater than 10 minutes doesn't existOkay retard.
>>18363221They say that but I don't think I've ever had blue lume that wasn't passable until morning light.
>>18363197Based and nippon engineering pilled
>>18363224You always have the option to stop replying instead of trying to cope and embarassing yourself further.
>>18363231Nobody is coping but you. You still haven't explained how the fuck any of this means the yachtmaster2 is a better watch.
>>18363214You're missing the point. The point is to have a rolex logo on your watch and have it be big and ostentatious because people need to know you have a rolex. The fact that it says "yacht" and "master" implies you are rich and have servants wich adds to the rolex logo.
>>18363236Anon, just look at it. It's more rolex. It makes submariner owners weep at their inadequacy. Destitute. Impoverished.
>>18363236The yatchmaster is a hideous piece of shit. The submariner is a relic of the past surpassed by every $300 aqualung gadget. Any complication produces a worse result than your phone. Mechanical watches real world applications are fever dreams made up by autists. The only thing a watch is used for is its looks, brand and coolness.You are a particular dim person.
>>18363246You're arguing shit nobody is talking about and nobody asked you.
If I go into a Rolex store and try I watch and decide to get it and they agree, do they give you the display model you just tried? Since at that point if the watch was tried by 100 people it's not really new. Or is that just how it is?
>>18363261Usually the watch they give you is a fresh one that was either sitting in the safe or just shipped in.
>>18363246Keep wearing your $4000 used """rolex""' expoorer
>>18363261>If I go into a Rolex store and try I watch and decide to get it and they agree, do they give you the display model you just tried?They give you a slap on the ass and tell you to get in line on the waiting list.
>>18363225>They say that but I don't think I've ever had blue lume that wasn't passable until morning light.It's true, though.C3 has a yellowish-greenish tint in daylight and glows a very bright green.BGW9 looks white in daylight and glows blue.BGW9 does not glow as brightly or as long as C3, but still does very, very well. It's more popular right now because blue lume feels more high-tech and premium.
>>18363267>53k for something with a dial that ugly
>>18363261>If I go into a Rolex store and try I watch and decide to get it and they agree, do they give you the display model you just tried?No, you get a watch that's packed up and sealed. Oftentimes the display models don't even have movements in them, to discourage theft. They're just an empty case with a dial.
>>18363273You don't have the personality or the wrist size to pull it off. Cope with your 36mm girl watch
>>18363277Why do you project your insecurities onto people who just hate how something looks?
>>18363269I've never even heard of c5, c7 and c9. Is there some specialized reason for using those?
>>18363279Uh oh she's (male) resorting to her psychology 101 talking points. Typical sub 40mm behavior
>>18363279It's not even just how it looks, it's a big unwieldy brick of a watch.
>>18363280>Is there some specialized reason for using those?It's their color of the pigment in day time. Purely aesthetics.
>>18363287You aren't supposed to be a manual laborer and wear a yachtmaster ii
>>18363255You are trying to deflect because you are now realizing you missed the entire point. No wonder since you don't have have two braincells to rub together and produce a spark.>>18363267I don't have enough melanin to wear that.

$2-7k feels like the cope zone for watches. For a little more than that you can get an entry-level Rollie or a decent Omega. For less than that you can get something that is technically and mechanically just as good from a mass-market brand. Realistically, what does a $5500 watch get you? A Chinese movement and a logo on the face that nobody will recognize.
>>18363454WPN or Watch Photo North
this thread sucks, a bunch of arguing about Rolexes
>>18363217Looks like it was made to wear in operator mode
>>18363124It’s not a shitter.
>>18363177Lots of microbrands today make far better stuff than Omega and Longines. These are facts.
>>18363148The greatest watch ever made.>>18363149Filtered
Brief reninder that CHAD Heuer has more SOVL than Rolex, Omega and Longines put together.
I don't care what everyone say. I like the ceramic Submariner.The ceramic GMT Master sucks though.
>>18363683Some of their cases are really nice, angled and sleek.
>Bought a Seiko last week>Already want to buy a new oneI really want to get an SRPE57, put a NATO strap on it and use it as my daily shitter...
>>18363683>>18363717Classic Heuer, yes. TAG Heuer is terrible.
I like the glassbox. I heard the qc is all over the place and the date is often misaligned though.
More minimalism and elegance
>>18363739I like their 39 mm chronographs. They also make historically speaking more sense than the Oomagay Shitmaster.
Watch ID??
>>18363768I wish the industry wasn't so anti-handwinding movements.Those classic Carreras were pretty thin too because they were all manually wound.Picrel was a watch that came out in the 1990s as a limited edition reproduction for some anniversary of the Carrera. 36mm across, 40mm lug to lug, and 13mm thick (though a lot that thickness was from the tall acrylic crystal.)
>>18363796>Picrel was a watch that came out in the 1990s as a limited edition reproduction for some anniversary of the Carrera. 36mm across, 40mm lug to lug, and 13mm thick (though a lot that thickness was from the tall acrylic crystal.)Yeah. That's beautiful.
>>18363796>I wish the industry wasn't so anti-handwinding movements.The distribution of them is fucked up. Plenty of manually wound movements in the super-high end tier and the chinkshitter tier, but almost nothing in the vast middle area apart from basically the Sneedmaster and a couple Panerais.
>>18363798Nivada Grenchen too. They offer many manual winded models.
>>18363801I count microbrands and zombie brands in the chinkshitter tier.

VC leak/teases the steel 222....$35,000.-I feel like there's some detail they're leaving out.
>>18363802I can guarantee you an Airain Type 20 or a Vulcain Cricket has a better movement than the watch you're wearing on your tiny hairless wrist.
>>18363830Poorfag here. It looks so bland. It's like the boring baby of a PRX and an OP.Who the hell would pay 35k for that? I'd rather get the American 21.
>>18363830HOLY SHIT WHAT? A..... a Tissot with Vacheron Constantin written on it?! Let me post it on Reddit right now, brb
>>18363796TAG has the resources to run two lines in parallel.They can sell their modern mallslop to fat Americans who wouldn't know a tasteful watch if their lives depended on it. Then they can have the 'vintage' line that's faithful to the old Jack Heuer designs.

Someone bought me this as a graduation gift, worth about 5 grand. It's a nice watch, minimalist and fits well on a thin wrist, but leather straps are awful. They start to absorb your sweat and smell horrible after a few months of daily use.Are there non poorfag watch brands that have small, thin metallic bands? The typical metallic band in my mind is like the Rolex kind, bulky and heavy.

>>18365548How much?
>>18365550780€
>>18365554Couldn't you get a lunar pilot for less than that?
>>18365554This chink shitter >>18365544 is unironically a better watch.
>>18365556The lunar pilot is gigantic.
>>18365536I can't find this reference, when did they stop making this?
>>18365567It's not quite 44mm.36mm is extra small38mm is small40mm is medium42mm is large44mm is extra large46mm is XXL48mm is XXXL
>>18365554I will never understand people paying good money for quartz, but if you like it good for you.
>>18365568They released it like a month ago. Europenis only.
>>18365571I mean solar is cool but it's not worth anything over $400 for a normal style. I can understand paying more for the super unique stuff like the hamilton ventura though
>>18365573Or like one of these that are an insane push for the technology.
It's nice.I would still get a Datejust over this though.
>>18365580The only thing nice about it is that cross on a case
>>18365580More durable, more power reserve, more adjustment options.The DJ really is the better option for an everyday watch.But, then, the steel 222's will all just be bought by investors who will flip them later down the line.
>>18365580Integrated bracelets where you can't even swap straps are a big ick. With the brushing and integrated bracelet it just looks like a cheap albeit vintage watch from the late 70s

thank you anon from the last thread, decided to buy the watch I want thought a bit expensive. First automatic too
>>18365697Neat/. Hope it serves you well.
Where can I buy NATO straps?I swear most brands seem like drop shipping scam so I feel like I might as well directly buy from Temu or AliExpress at this point.
>>18365838Cheapest nato straps are good. Crown and buckle of you want a chevron adjustable strap but don't buy perlon from them they are kinda bad.
>>18365874Where do I get good perlon?
>>18365885There really isn't good or bad perlon. It's all the same. Single thickness or double, to your preference.
Just ordered a shitton of chink watches. Fuck Rolex and fuck AP
>>18365903Yeah I should clarify the reason why I didn't like the crown and buckle perlon is that the tail loop was fabric and it didn't have a second keeper like a nato would to loop under which usually I dislike, but for perlon being so thin the watch slides around on the strap too much when you take it off. With the keeper it's limited.
>>18365917Based
>>18365929what I do with an adjustable strap is extend the keeper to the bottom side of the watch like on a regular nato. the downside is the strap's length shortens too much. and when removing the watch from the strap, the keeper near the buckle sometimes falls off. but it somehow works since I have a small wrist.
>>18363269>C1Is so fucking shit and yet all the german brands insist on using it to save a few cents.
>>18365544I ordered the new watchdives version of this kind of watch. I don't recall ever wearing, or even owning, a chronograph. I've always thought that they're cluttered and annoying. We'll see. I'd pay 60 bucks to test that out rather than buy an actual penismoon or glassbox carrera and tire of it in a few days.

How do I know if a seagull 1963 is legit? Every watch I look at looks like a fake according to this page https://seagullwatches.com/pages/seagull1963
>>18366302Does it matter? It's well under 5k.. Who cares for the authenticity, just wear it and and don't baby it. The next one you buy might, or might not, by authentic. In the end it doesn't matter.
>>18366306>does it matterMatters to me
>>18365580The 222 and the DJ are not comparable watches.The 222 is like half the thickness and has a manually finished movement.
>>18366396Price is not an issue here
I ordered it.
Thoughts ? Home complication. French brand, creator of the tourbillon. 3200e.
>>18366516Louis Breguet was the creator of tourbillon not this fagguette.
>>18366147BB54 Anon... you've convinced me. I'm going to try it in the shop and see what I think about it. I might get the San Martin """homage""" and see if I enjoy that shape of a watch before I try get it grey market. It was either that or a BB36, or a Sinn 556. Or a Longines Conquest 38mm.
Cop or not ? I want eco drive citizen but just can decide what I want… This https://www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/product/BU2110-01A.htmlOr this https://www.citywatches.ie/products/citizen-eco-drive-stainless-steel-black-dial-bm7600-81e-100m-mens-watch Or this https://www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/product/BM8180-03E.htmlI have 17,5cm wristWhat do you like more ?

>>18366391>The 222 and the DJ are not comparable watches.Yes, they are. Both are stainless steel time only + date automatic watches.>The 222 is like half the thicknessThe Datejust is 12mm thick. The 222 is 8mm thick. >manually finished movement.lol
>>18363121I never wear watches and don't know anything about fashion. Thinking about getting a WearOS smartwatch.What are some style considerations for a dude with bitch wrists? I'm probably in the top 1% for men with skinniest wrists. I want it for practical reasons. How do I not look like a dork? Smallest watch as possible? Leather band? Wide band or narrow? That sort of thing.
>>18366635Here you go buddy. Also smartwatch is not a watch.
>>18366147>posting images of watches he didn't even try on
>>18366640Diameter to hand width is a new one to me. The rule-of-thumb people must have pulled an all nighter coming up with that.At the end of the day you just jave to try watches on to know. The way the watch actually feels to wear and looks when you have it on can be totally different to any preconceived notions you get from reading the dimensions. Like some people say 36mm is a womens watch size but there are some 36mm watches like the rolexes that have big round stout lugs that make them feel more substantial than the dimensions would imply, then there are watches like the 36mm Breitling Navitimer that are flat and dainty and have frilly looking bezels and are just obviously intended for a woman to wear them. Generally, though, smaller is better. For thickness your goal is to get as close to or as far under 12mm as you can get, anything over 38mm diameter is too big for a watch that's time and date only, the sweet spot for a dive watch or chrono is about 40mm but you probably wouldn't want to go lower than 38mm because of legibility and you probably don't want to go much over 42mm because that's when watches start becoming comically big even if you're a big guy.
>>18366476Based, it's a nice watch
>>18366539Manlet alert
>>18366635Try a Timex Marlin and go from there.
anyone else cozy tonight???
>>18366635One idea is to take inspiration from mid 20th century dress watches, the watches you'd expect to see in Mad Men:>thin>dial diameter around 35 or 36 millimeters>leather strapOver the last couple decades, the preference for men's watches has been larger, so those postwar watches are now considered small. But they might look excellent on a small wrist.

Both are stainless steel time only + date automatic watches.Well then I guess a Bambino is comparable too.>>manually finished movement.>lolA hand finished movement is often the most labor-intensive and expensive part of a watch.
>>18363121This is the coolest looking microbrand shitter and I'm not going to pretend it isn't.

>>18366688Nice get, this.It's like design, you can be measuring all you want but the best way is to test. I was trying on a mondaine one thinking it would be a good fit and it looked like absolute shit on my wrist.The typical faux pas that the bumpkins do is getting these huge ass watches thinking it makes them look hard.
