>At least /wt/ isn't infested with Rolenta drones like /nawt/ is.
The latest /wt/ infestation are the Genta fundamentalists, especially when discussing The Credor Locomotive.
In the end their point does make since since The Credor Locomotive stands as a true testament to visionary watchmaking, destined to become a future Genta classic and a coveted collector’s gem. Drawing inspiration from the revolutionary designs of Gerald Genta—whose groundbreaking creations initially faced skepticism but ultimately defined modern luxury—the Locomotive embodies that same forward-thinking spirit, blending innovative aesthetics with impeccable craftsmanship. Unlike other brands, Credor is not just another name but a symbol of meticulous artistry, and this limited edition piece underscores that exclusivity, making it an exceptional investment opportunity. History has shown that Genta-inspired designs tend to appreciate immensely over time, and the Locomotive is no exception; it’s poised to soar in desirability once supply runs out and the market recognizes its true value. Dismissing this masterpiece based on fleeting criticisms ignores the timeless significance of Genta’s influence, which has cemented itself as a hallmark of horological excellence. The limited availability guarantees rarity, and with the genius of Genta once again awakening interest in the secondary market, owning the Locomotive now secures a front-row seat to future appreciation. For true connoisseurs and forward thinkers, this watch is more than a timepiece—it’s an investment in history, innovation, and prestige. Don’t let skepticism hold you back from claiming your stake in this extraordinary piece, because, as with all legendary designs, the real value lies ahead.

I can't imagine being around people that would participate in the fiasco known as ADs.
I guess I'm lucky to live where I have all the boutiques, but even some boutiques play games. I can't imagine wanting a watch so badly that you'd be willing to play games (such as previous purchase or dressing a certain way) to get it. Same goes for certain luxury brands and car brands. If you look down at your fake watch and feel bad that it's not the real thing, then you're probably enough of a human being to look at it and feel bad you had to undergo a humiliation ritual to get it. I can walk into Cartier and buy a purse for my wife, no games. I can walk into almost all watch boutiques and buy any watch, unless it's an ugly as sin genta watch (lol). If I see a paywalled Rolex or genta watch on someone's wrist, I automatically assume it's either fake, or they're retarded. They're not retarded for spending a lot of money on a watch, there are many amazing watches worth exorbitant prices, but they're retarded for getting scammed. What it really comes down to is this: if your watch is a Rolenta (Rolex or Genta, aka a watch marketed at sports events), it might as well be fake, because it's an embarrassment regardless.

armanicell checking in. after many months of surpressing the topic psychologiclally, it just flared up again. I concluded I just must break up from my wife, because she does not submit to me. she bought this old ruin of a house which she has been "renovating" (completely destroying with incompent and negligent contractors) for years now. The issue just gives me no rest. It's a never ending money pit and what's worse is that I am convinced it will ultimately collapse and get people killed. I just can't take this shit anymore, and I have been telling her for years that she should sell it, but she won't. So ultimately she does not respect my authoritay. And I just can't go on living like this.

Wrong. Women don’t have enough agency to choose to submit. Remember, they’re like children.
If a dog pees on the rug, that’s the owner’s fault.
If your wife is misbehaving that is a (poor) reflection on how you have failed as a husband.
You have failed to provide a disciplined environment for her to thrive in, so she acts out.
Correct yourself and your wife’s behavior will follow.

Next time my wife tries to nag, I'll just beat the shit out of her.

>>18548778
A mechanical watch is a piece of jewelry and a toy that is socially acceptable for grown men. It's not about telling the time as precisely as possible, cause even your quartz watch is outdated tech for that. A smartwatch can do that and 10000 other things.

My wife is unironically jealous that our cats like me more than her, and I don't blame them because she blows in their ears and pulls their tails and generally bothers them while they're trying to rest. She'll come up to me when I'm laying on the bed with a cat laying on me and she'll tell me to move the cat, start trying to pull the cat's tail and ears and shit. I've tried telling her nicely to knock it off, I tried annoyedly telling her she needs to respect other people and animal's peace, the other day I even got angry and yelled at her to stop doing it, but I've still caught her doing it. Where do you go from here?

>>18548931
I think it is fair to say she has already crossed the threshold. Just beat her up. Make sure she understand why you did it and how she can avoid it in the future.

Okay, I'll just write this down for you once, pay attention, kid.

Watches are one of the few accessories/jewelry that men can traditionally wear. A man needs a watch to be considered a working member of society, getting your first watch when you're a teen is a rite of passage.

Watches are functional precision instruments, they keep you organized and literally on time throughout the day, this is the reason quartz (watches) still exist.

As you progress in life you want to signal your elevated social status with a finer timepiece, something more than a mere timekeeper. In this stage of life time is not essential, you don't need to be in your wagie cage within the second. That is why people acquire, or as I like to say, meet mechanical timepieces. Watches such as Omega, Tudor and Rolex.

In a professional or any environment with affluent males, your watch is your Curriculum Vitae, your rank in a way. People will know you had to go further in life than your average poorfaggot mathlete to acquire a fine Patek for example.

Now I don't know your age, but could you imagine being over 25 and wearing a wagie poorfag incel seething bitter faggot lardass brainlet quartz watch in a serious environment? I don't think so, you'll be giving yourself away as a absolute loser in life and people will think there's something seriously wrong with you and wonder why you're even there with your cheap shitter piece of shit nasty crusty chinese watch.

Trust me, you don't want to be part of the quartz horde. Join the ranks of the men with sophistication and class and meet your mechanical watch. Discard your nasty wagie faggot ass piece of shit computer chip "watch".

I really want to buy this but I'm a little concerned about mixing metals. I know you're supposed to match steel to steel, gold to gold, and so on, and I only wear steel and silver (earring, belt buckle, tie bar at work, etc) so I'm not sure how a bronze watch figures into that equation. Does it just not "count" since bronze kind of sits outside the silver-gold continuum and it will patina over time anyway?

I don't know what to do. Please advise.

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])

>>18549581
Without the Genta pedigree of a watch like, for example…I dunno…the Credor Locomotive, I don’t see the Cubitus really taking off. Real watch connoisseurs know that without Genta’s ineffable genius, no design can really ever be called a future classic.

>>18549581
As all watch connoisseurs know, Gerald Genta designed the Nautilus for Patel Felipe.
The Cubitus is a bastardisation of this design. It is more akin to a digital Casio. It will never cement itself into horological history the way a true Gerald Genta design would.
The Cubitus is merely a test in watch design.. It was fully designed by algorithms and AI to achieve what on paper is the "optimal" watch. This cacophony of rule, s such as angles and ratios, lacks a distinctive soul, therefore making the watch itself an artificial fluke.
The Credor Locomotive, on the other hand, is a genuine, real, design by Genta himself and it will secure itself it's place in the horological hall of fame.

The "CREDOR: LOCOMOTIVE," one of the models representing the history of Credor, was created by watch designer Gérald Genta, pursuing a "unique design" with originality distinctive to the brand, and was released in 1979.
Genta produced many masterpiece models in the history of watches and was called "the Picasso of the watch world" for his avant-garde and diverse designs. At the time of development, Genta visited Japan many times, building a close relationship with Seiko, and reportedly took pleasure in designing watches for Credor. The name "Locomotive" was also given by Genta during the model's development with the wish that it would "lead Credor and carry the future." While Genta designed numerous watches, it is said that being the one to name a model was a rare occurrence.

And the Locomotive’s CR01 movement. Look how luxuriously gold-colored it is.

Truly, a triumph of the mechanical arts over human frippery.

Hello good people.
I bought a Doxa.
Won't be wearing it until the weekend.

But this morning I powered a bit before work, just barely because I was leaving.
It ran for 8h30min.
It gained 20 seconds in that period.
Should I worry? Or this is the result of running it in low power reserve?

>>18549772
>doxa sub 200
Don’t wear it. Don’t resize the bracelet. Return it. You bought the wrong watch. You’re supposed to get the Sub THREE HUNDRED.

As for the movement. It was probably in storage for a while so the lubricants pooled. It will need to run for a couple days to distribute the oils before you get a sense of how accurate it is. It should settle into a better accuracy by then.
Movements also tend to run fast as they get to the end of their power reserves.

>>18549792
Thanks that's encouraging. I didn't even want to think it actually gains 60s a day because it just ran for 8 hours (+20s during those hours).

As for the Sub 300, considered since they have I think Cosc models but the case shape isn't for me.

Friendly reminder that adjusting your metal bracelet's length isn't enough. You need to center the clasp on the underside of your wrist as well. Usually this means having 1-2 fewer links on the 6 o'clock position than on top. You'll notice that the watch fits better and doesn't slip as much on your wrist.

>>18549836
>Usually this means having 1-2 fewer links on the 6 o'clock position than on top.
I just sized mine and it's kinda the opposite. I'll try removing one link on one side and adding it to the other and see if it's any bette tomorrow. The watch sits fine on my wrist now but perhaps it'll be better that way.

It depends on the manufacturer. The vast majority of the time manufacturers literally use 30m as short hand for "hand washing only." that's kind of industry standard. But a few watchmakers, notably Patek, make it clear in their marketing and on their website and stuff that when they say 30m they actually mean they stand by swimming to 30m depth with the watch. That's why the nautilus is rated 30m or 60m or whatever it is, it sounds low but it's because they mean it and they're putting a realistic performance standard and not just the biggest theoretical average chamber pressure test they can get away with putting on the spec sheet.

Perpetual Mogging

There's something very comfy on having some nice coffee and chilling with your HAQ/radio sync watch with a perpetual calendar watch on your wrist, knowing you have the EXACT time at your disposal.

>>18550227
A perpetual calendar is supposed to have the day and date with month/year displays, neither of these shitters have them, so at best they could be called "perpetual date" watches.

>>18550228

Smartwatch for daily use (Apple, if you’re rich; Garmin or Coros, if you’re into endurance sports; Samsung, if you’re poor)

Dressy watch for when your smartwatch is too casual.

“Weekend Watch” or “Flex Watch”. This will be a fun or unusual piece that isn’t something you wear everyday. Something bold like an APROO. Doesn’t have to be high-dollar but should be less serious.

>>18550369
My collection is

>work watch - a small but tough relatively cheap watch with practical complications like day and date that will be useful for day to day going to work and work around the house.

>leisure watch - your actual daily watch that you wear on your own time

>dress watch - a really nice watch that you wear on special occasions like holidays, birthdays, celebrating success in work or something, going out on dates, weddings, funerals, that kind of thing. Don't necessarily need to dress up when you're wearing it, I just don't know what else you'd call it.

>>18550369
1. Casual watch / mall watch: something inexpensive for when I'm traveling in low-trust societies. Basically endless options for this: Orient, Seiko, something vintage, whatever, but generally it should have a brushed/satinated case or black PVD.
2. Tool watch: something steel or titanium that you can use and abuse. Can be bulky and/or a diver if you like larping. For me, it's the speedmaster. Chronographs make the best tool watches if you cook a lot.
3. Le Daily Driver: depending on the place you live or the nature of your work, the first two watches might also fulfill this role. For me, I'd like something a little dressier by modern standards, like a sports watch that is 39mm diameter or smaller that I can optionally throw on a strap. This is also the only watch I'd want in automatic, provided it has a 72hr power reserve to get through the weekend. I'm unironically looking at a GS for this, since a speedmaster looks a bit overkill now that I dress more formally.
4. Dress watch: technically it's just a "traditional watch" but this is your jewelry piece for when you dress to impress. Precious metal case, maybe some nice complications, the sky is the limit. "I'll get one eventually trust me bro"
A wise anon once said that this type of "collection" is only as much of a collection as having a black belt and a brown belt. I tend to agree with him, as it's only a collection when you have multiple watches that fulfill the same role. For me specifically it's my Seiko SCED037, Speedmaster (cal1861), a Springu Drivu (TBD), and an Adolph Lange RL Jumping Seconds or Lange 1 (eventually)

>>18550427
>A wise anon once said that this type of "collection" is only as much of a collection as having a black belt and a brown belt.

Redpill me on NATO, is it really better than a two piece strap in any material way?

>>18550431
Yes, correct.
Also I want to add that I'm struggling to justify having a dress watch (something with a very simple case) because there just aren't any occasions to wear it. Yes I know I can throw a Villeret on a nato strap and wear it to the mall with jorts and a fanny pack, but honestly it's just not my style. I want to dress nicely, I have lots of nice French dress shoes to choose from, but there's never an occasion. Nobody gets married, nobody has formal parties to celebrate milestones (because they haven't completed any), everyone in the previous generation of my extended family waited until super late to have kids so the massive age gap prevents family events from occurring. It would be totally out of place at work. Is it like this for other anons? I'm almost 30 and the only remotely formal scenario I can concoct is taking my wife to a nice dinner.

>>18550437
Works well with certain watches, but not others. It depends on the style of the lugs and the proportions between strap and case. Look up pictures of a Rolex sub on a nato strap, the watch totally eats up the strap, it looks unbalanced and strange. Look up pictures of an omega speedmaster on a nato strap, the watch integrates nicely with strap and it all looks harmonious.

>>18550438
>Is it like this for other anons?
A little.
I’m lucky enough to have a job where dressing up is not considered unusual, so I tend to dress up on the more formal end of business casual. My coworkers tend to chalk it up to being in the Marines, since most of the veterans at my company also pay attention to their appearance.

After the coof things got way more casual for a while, but it didn’t last.
In that time I got more comfortable wearing dressier watches with more casual clothes. Especially when they’re not on nice alligator straps, most white gold watches can be easily worn with jeans and a polo.

>>18550437
If you're doing actual outdoor shit like hiking or swimming in a lake or the ocean or something the nato is tolerant of sweat and water, keeps the watch case back off of your wrist to prevent chafing or skin reaction breaking out, and it makes sure you don't lose your watch in the (unlikely) event that a spring bar fails. All of these things are the purpose of natos.

That's why that new bullshit "zero pass" strap is so fucking stupid, it's for people who for some ungodly reason want to pay a premium to get the look of a nato with none of the benefits of wearing a nato. How much deeper in the cope closet could a person go?

>>18550468
Yeah those are stupid. But maybe I am, too. Cause I don't get what the second strap on a NATO is even supposed to do. A simple pass-through strap would also keep the watch off your wrist and keep it on there when a spring bar fails

>>18550456
That sounds nice. Hopefully I'll be able to do the same sooner rather than later.

>>18550473
second strap keeps the watch case in place so it doesn't slide around your wrist

I'd argue that it's in his top 5 designs. Granted, the recent gccr997's dial is, in my opinion, the star of the show and that it fits the hexagonal design much better, which makes sense considering the entire shape of that thing. I wasn't there when the royal oak was introduced to the world, but if I were to trust the people that were there during the time of what they say their reaction was; everybody thought it was crazy and too brutal of a design. Needless to say it was a grower. I would describe grower designs is something truly classic and timeless, why? Because simply, they do not play it safe, they are not a product of their time and like the name implies it does take time to appreciate. All jokes aside: the more you look at the locomotive the more you appreciate it and the more you like it. Shame about that reused and cheap movement. But I guess without that specific movement the watch would be way into the $20,000 mark. speak: twice as much. And get at the same time compromises for a five-digit watch should not be on the menu.

It's logical if you think about it. The external temperature sensors in cars have the same problem. Unless you'd put that space shuttle ceramic on the caseback i don't think there is a way to isolate the watch's temperature against your body heat.

I have an idea. I call it "Battery Drive". We take a shitty mechanical watch movement and replace the mainspring barrel with a battery, which will then power the escapement connected to a traditional hairspring. This way you'll get the inaccuracies of a mechanical watch, combined with the inconvenience of battery changes. What do you think?
