>>18551105I wear my good ol' Rolex.I need a waterproof watch because my gf squirts a lot.
>>18551105I don’t wear one usually.
>>18551105I don't have sex. Ever.
>>18551105Let's see the fucking shitter you wear, bittercel.BTW taking dick up your shitty ass doesn't count, faggot.
>>18551105I wear Timex Marlin Chrono Green version.
Is there something cooler than a vintage Rolex?Maybe a vintage Patek.
>>18551004Try to go for the earlier pieces. Definitely not the ones from the scandal-era.The Curvex case is incredibly comfortable but wears large. Fortunately they come in lots of sizes.
>>18551013It’s a pretty unimpressive 7750 powered chronograph. It’s well-made but the components are the design are pretty blah.If you want a good pilot’s chronograph, you can get a Breguet Type XX 3800 for reasonable money, or an IWC 3713 Doppelchronograph, which has a neat rattrapante complication.
Green dial GO SeaQ 39.5mm or green dial Omega Seamaster Diver?The Omega is cheaper, but it’s thicker and less elegant.The GO is impeccably made, but specs aren’t impressive.The Rolex “Hulk” is discontinued and I don’t like its bright shade of green.
>>18551293The GlashĂĽtte Original is by far the better watch in all aspects except power reserve (which, for an automatic movement is basically irrelevant.)
>>18551293Meh. None of them.The Seamaster looks dated and unrefined now (especially compared to the new no-date Seamaster released recently). The SeaQ looks alright but it's also very generic.Also, why specifically a green dive watch?
>>18551194I’m thinking a 28mm Casablanca or conquistador. I have a smaller wrist and usually I like watches that are 34-37mm. So hopefully that works and I don’t need something bigger. But yes I agree. The earlier the better
>>18551365>The SeaQ looks alright but it's also very generic.What other dive watch does it look like? When I think “generic dive watch” I think a Sub clone.
>>18551293seamaster diver is a great watch. i have a blue one. visually it is very cool and and has lots of depth to the dial/markers/hands. dial takes on many different shades of blue depending on lighting. green probably does the same. helium escape valve and non tapered bracelet grow on you and make it unique in an ocean of generic diver shitters
>>18551368Honestly the SeaQ looks like "microbrand diver #272589 that's trying to not look like the Sub but also kinda looks like it". It's uninspired, and the reason why the diver genre is so boring.If you like the design just get an Airain Sous-Marine. It's 2000 eurobucks and has a La Joux-Perret G100 movement, which is very good. They make a green one btw.
>>18551393>If you like the design just get an Airain Sous-Marine.Thanks. The look and the price are nice. I just don’t trust micro brands. They’re constantly going out of business and they rarely stock parts. I know anyone can service anything, but if I ever needed a replacement part, I’d be shit out of luck.
>>18551293The GO is the better watch and it’s not even close. Personally I think it’s wildly overpriced but that’s true of just about any watch in the industry right now.It’s definitely a watch that you need to experience in person because the design does not photograph well at all. In the hand, on the wrist, it feels premium. It wears very thin.The bezel action is the nicest I’ve ever experienced. The case finishing is perfect. The bracelet and clasp are extremely comfortable. The dials look flat in pictures but they’re actually dished and the domed sapphire creates distortion like old plexi.But, of course, for like 10 grand (before discounts) this is all something that you should expect.As for the Omega, it’s a known quantity. It’s very well made, very accurate. Its design is pretty well iconic by now, but it does have its flaws, thickness and poor bezel action most notably.It’s also like 4 grand cheaper so it’s not exactly a great comparison.The GO is the better watch, objectively, but I’d rather have a Seamaster plus the money.
>>18551399>GO is the better watch and it’s not even close.Fucking drone bloody hell. Why don't you just fuck off back to hodinkee or sth.
>>18551409Sorry your feelings got hurt.

>>18551782What is it? I can’t read the name on the dial very well.
>>18551882Solheilac.New independent high horology brand. Good dimensions (45mm lug to lug, 9mm thick).It's the next big thing (think Berneron-tier hype watch), you read it here first.
>>18551897Thanks. That’s an interesting movement architecture.

Longines put out two new Spirits.Both lose the silly stars, both got thinner than the previous versions.Perhaps someone at Longines failed to read the memo requiring all Longines to be disappointing.>Pilot39 x 11.5 x 47 (thinner and with shorter L2L than the 40mm Spirit)100m WR, screw down crown Solid casebackNO DATE>ChronographFlyback chrono in the style of the Type 20 spec.39.5 x 13.5 x 47mm (3mm thinner than the old version)Hand-wound column wheel chronograph 100m WRNO DATE
>>18551939>13.5 thick>3mm thinner than the old version
>>18551957Unfortunately, unless you’re willing to pay five figures, that’s about as thin as chronographs are gonna get.13.5 is the same thickness as the Speedmaster Pro, give or take a tenth.
>>18551976I agree. I was reacting to the old version that's 16.5 MM THICC
>>18551939The regular Pilot looks great. Honestly, no complaints. I love how they cleaned up the dial.
My nigga Sergio Leone wearing a Patek Nautilus.
>>18552010Compared to the IWC Mark XX it looks pretty good. The Longines will be around 2500 dollars after discounts compared to twice that for the IWC.
For me? It’s Rolex. The best watch brand in the world.
>>18551105I don’t wear a watch having sex it’s uncomfortable
>>18551997I think the old watch had a straightforward 7750-type. Anything using that movement is going to be at least 14mm thick.
Be 100% honest. Would you rather wear DAILY a vintage watch (from the 50s/60s, not neo-vintage) or its modern equivalent? Submariner 5513 or 124060? Vintage Tank Louis or modern one?Obviously, I’m talking about watches with roughly the same price point. I’m not going to ask if you’d prefer owning a $2 million Patek 530 or a $100k 5370.
>>18552333Vintage.
>>18550978>October 1st>Most Swiss companies uped MSRP by 10-15% across the board due to tariffsAnybody else notice this? Guess it's time to buy a GO instead of the BP I was looking at.>>18552333Modern equivalent.Old watch buying 90% of the time is the same as buying used, a cheap(er) entry point for poors to get their hands on a name brand watch for the status and brand association. Saying that it's "vintage" is just hipster cope.
>>18552333On aesthetics alone, vintage, hands-down.When we’re talking daily, though, that adds another dimension. Older watches simply are more fragile. Even when new, they did not have the kind of shock resistance and water resistance that we take for granted today. Plus, dailying an old watch means you need to consider service and replacement parts.Older Rolexes are generally safe because they made millions of them and even in the 60s, an Oyster-case watch was robust. A complicated JLC from the 60s, though? Not daily, no.
>>18552342>Modern equivalent.But sometimes there is no real equivalent. Rolex still makes a watch called Submariner, but it’s an ugly blocky inelegant thing. The watch they used to make that was also called Submariner was tasteful, understated and versatile.Having the same name and even Shari g broad brushstrokes does not make them equivalent.
>>18552347Agreed on the Rolex, but>sometimes there is no real equivalent.Then it's time to move on and stop living in the past.The only exception being if it was something given to you, found, or inherited.At a certain point paying homage to classic designs or something "vintage" just looks nerdy and weird, like those girls who collect entire wardrobes to dress exactly like they're in the '70s.
>>18552333I've had a few vintage watches (Omega, Girard Perregaux, JLC, Vacheron) and they're just too much hassle to wear on a daily basis. They're fragile, have no shock resistance, sometimes fog forms on the inside of the glass. I only wear modern watches now.
Thoughts?I am pretty set on the blue. The green looks nice and has a more unique and retro look, I admit, but I'm a little worried that green won't be as versatile a color for every day and dress casual wear.Also, the black date and 12-hour display kind of breaks up the color, unlike the uniform blue.
>>18551592Nice. Always liked these and they aged well.
>>18552592Awful.
ID on the watch?
>>18552592These things wear huge. You need to have a large wrist to make them work.A 40mm square wears like a 44mm round.

>>18552823Oh, you were trying to be funny. Sorry, I didn’t realize. Yeah, I don’t know who the wearer is. Just the watch.
>>18552825>whoLets start with what and then progress further.
>>18552823Aryna Sabalenka
>>18552753>>18552754I don't like this kind of aesthetic (you could also include De Bethune and Romain Gauthier in the bunch) and I usually crazy stuff from Urwerk and even Richard Mille. Somehow I don't find these watches "radical" enough.These days I'm really into Vianney Halter. It's such bad taste "steampunk" bullshit but idk I think it's fun.
>>18552837I don't like them either, i just posted some 'new' watches so that we have something to talk about. We used to have effortposters who would visit a few watch sites every day and post pics of new watches and the threads were buzzing with activity.
>>18552839Ah yes. Sadly anon these days are over. The bubble has burst, everybody got their Rolex around 2021-2024, luxury watches are way too expensive for 99% of the population and your average /wt/ poster only comes here for meming and shitposting.
>>18552845Doesn't help that discussion of microbrands, where the actually interesting stuff happens nowadays, is actively discouraged.
>>18551395>they're constantly going out of businessWho went out of business? Do you mean like kickstarter watch projects that barely got funded and put out bullshit watches? I genuinely don't know any microbrands that went out of business recently.
>>18551393If it's a copy of anything wouldn't it be a 62mas?
Rank them.
>>18552878Tank > Reverso > EllipseSome other days the Reverso will be first.I don't like the Ellipse except this very specific and rare version.
>>18552875The 62MAS was a copy of the original Blancpain Bathyscaphe.
>>18552862>t. Bitter /wt/ spreading lies
My beloved Hamilton seems to have shit the bed. Had it for a good number of years, wore it everywhere. I was just going to sell it for cheap and get a new watch but nothings catching my eye, is it worth having this thing serviced at Hamilton?
>>185528781. Golden Ellipse2. Reverso3. TankThe GE is a recognizable but still unique design. The Tank is worst because, while iconic, it’s uncomfortable. I’ve tried couple different sizes and versions and the flat case shape never sits right on my wrist.The Santos-Dumont’s curved shape is much more comfortable.
>>18552891>is it worth having this thing serviced at Hamilton?If you want to keep it, sure. It doesn’t have to be serviced my Hamilton specifically. Any independent watchmaker can repair it probably for a fraction of the price and faster than the factory can.
>>18552878I have a really hard time choosing between a tank and a reverso. There have been a million variants of reversos over the years so you can find them with all kinds of different looks and complications, but the tank is just refined simplicity with no party tricks.
>>18552889Those copies aren’t just because companies were uncreative back then. The industry was different and companies were much more reliant on subcontractors and parts suppliers.They all used similar cases because there weren’t that many companies making cases that were waterproof and supported a rotating bezel. Similarly, the dial and handset makers didn’t offer a huge variety of dials with great lume.Big companies like Rolex and Omega could make their own cases, but smaller companies would buy cases from specialty case makers.
>>18552894That's not really how low end watches work anon. Sure you'll save money by having your patek philippe serviced by the local guy instead of sending it to yurop but not a mall shitter.
>>18552896>but the tank is just refined simplicity with no party tricks.If you’re only talking about the Tank Louis, yes, it’s pretty unchanged over its life. But the Tank, on the whole, has had dozens, if not hundreds, of variations on its theme made over the years. The simple concept of the Tank lends itself well to experimentation.
>>18552904>That's not really how low end watches work anonSorry, my cheapest watch is an Omega.Is sending a Hamilton or Tissot into the factory for service really that cheap?
>>18552908Couple hundred bucks most likely. And it's not really a "service", they just do a movement swap. The old movement goes to an overseas sweatshop to be serviced in the sense that you are thinking. The new movement is either new-new (never installed), or someone else's sweatshop-serviced movement.
>>18552906Does anyone actually buy tanks other than Louie and Solo?
>>18552915My local guy charges 150 dollars for a three-hander overhaul along with case cleaning and gasket replacement. The gaskets are all standard sizes and ETA parts are readily available. I’m sure there’s cheaper out there but I like the work my local guy does.
>>18552917>Does anyone actually buy tanks other than Louie and Solo?The Francaise is wildly popular, particularly among women. The variant Tanks also sell well but they tend to be limited editions that they sell for a few years and then put back in the vault for a decade or so.The LC and cheap-Tank (Solo/Must) are always in the lineup.
>>18552920That's wild. I paid my local guy like $450 but to be fair that included sourcing some old parts for a watch that was at least 100 years old.
Now that the dust has finally settled...What do we really think of the best watch ever made?
>>18552893>The Tank is worst because, while iconic, it’s uncomfortable. I’ve tried couple different sizes and versions and the flat case shape never sits right on my wrist.You must have rounded wrists. I have flat wrists and don't have this problem.
>>18552927Feeling a little lonely in your dead thread, faggot?
>>18552930This thread is for serious watch discussion, please take your seethe somewhere else.
I bought a blue dial datejust and my wife same day on impulse bought a 36mm chronomat. How fucked am I?
>>18552958Breitling are worn by sketchy people. Your wife is keeping secrets from you.
>>18552963That only applies to the big tooly watches the glowies wear like the avenger and aerospace and shit, though, right?
>>18552958Post a pic of the Datejust.I hope you got a 36mm and not one of those 41mm monstrosities.
>>1855297436mm, smooth bezel with jubilee bracelet.
>>18552975Nice. That would be my choice. I also like the mint green dial.Enjoy the Rollie.
>>18552754bracelet's better than the watch
>>18552704that's a class act where'd you score the bracelet
>>18552979for all the different configuration combinations available for the datejust there really aren't a lot of good options for dials. Excluding gemset shitter dials and wimbledon hype shit you have black, green, blue and white, and the white dial is roman numeral markers with no lume. Oh, I guess you could pick silver if you like not being able to read your watch because it has silver hands on a silver dial. They really should have more dial colors and some solid color dials like the OPs rather than sunburst dials.The blue dial is excellent, but..... It's just another blue sunburst dial watch. Every company makes that watch. I think that's a big part of why people think the datejust is boring and dismiss it meanwhile every time Rolex reveals the new OP dial colors every watch shill and redditor has diahrea frothing over the brim of their pants for weeks.
>>18552991It better be good, because I don't see any way you're taking it off and putting anything else on it.
>>18552998>"there really aren't a lot of good options for dials">name 6 dial variations
>>18553019>white, black, blue and green in the most basic bitch sunburst finishing are all you need
>>18553019Yeah but they're all generic safe watch colors everyone does. Black, blue and white are the minimum baseline expected options and the white doesn't even have lume so it's not a real option. Silver on silver is fucking stupid, not a real option. Wimbledon is ugly as hell and only hyped up because of cross promotion celebrity slop, people buy and flip them but does anyone seriously want to wear this shit? It's like the fuckin beanie baby of the line. The best and most desired one is the green, probably because it's actually something different and interesting. The palm motif also went insane but that's a discontinued limited run. They also discontinued the fluted motif dials, so it's just straight sunburst dials now.I'm just saying, can't we get a red? Can't we get some kind of fume or ochre dial? They do all that shit for the daydate every year like everyone has $35k for the new dial daydate every year.
>>18553036>Silver on silver is fucking stupid, not a real option.At least give it yellow gold hands and markers like the silver OP.
>>18553036Rolex isn’t in the business of offering exciting watches. They make boring, safe, middle of the road pieces for people that want one watch and then never have to think about watches again.Rolling out a wild color or pattern every now and then gets attention, but it’s best for their bottom line to keep cranking out the blue, black, silver and white dials that are their best sellers.Red dials are great for people who have a collection and want some variety. Few people want to wear a red dial watch everyday of their lives.
recelsocel
>>18553036The Datejust is the most conservative watch in Rolex' catalogue. If you want something with a colorful dial, get an OP. And the silver dial DJ is very legible and one of the best configuration you can get.
>>18552998That's because Rolex is an automated mass production sports watch brand masquerading as haute horology.If they offer too much variety or make their exclusive editions more available, the image is shattered and everyone recognizes them for what they really are, just a mall storefront retail brand.Omega and Tudor offer what you seek, without the brand pretentiousness or faux scarcity.
>>18553150I love how the typical Rolex-hater will make up completely ridiculous stuff to justify their irrational hatred of Rolex. Like, Rolex absolutely does not claim to be part of haute horlogerie, the term "haute horlogerie" is completely absent from Rolex' own narrative. They don’t even claim any "hand-finishing" or anything like that... In fact, it’s quite the opposite, Rolex regularly publishes photos of their factories and lines of production. But for this guy it’s somehow obvious that Rolex claims to be haute horlogerie.
>>18553059>Rolex isn't in the business of making exciting watchesUntil they do, everyone runs to the dealers begging for an allocation, and they sell for 4x retail price on the secondary market.
>>18553125Just the fact that there are so many case size and bezel and bracelet combinations shows that's bullshit. It's only the dial colors lacking variety.
>>18553176>I love how the typical Rolex-hater will make up completely ridiculous stuff to justify their irrational hatred of Rolex.Who said I hate Rolex? They're marketing geniuses. They manage to deliver a slightly above average product and then coast off their brand image alone while jeets, brownoids, third worlders, and middle classe suburbanites (see >>18553179 ) across the world trip over themselves running to their nearest AD.Not because they actually like watches, not because they know anything about watches in fact, but because they want to be seen wearing a Rolex, and they'll pay MSRP or above at any price for that privelege. >Not sure if we can get that for you, Sir>We'll have to put you on the list and call you, this is a VERY limited and exclusive model>unironically and literally produces 1,000,000+ of them in a yearl-m-a-o

>>18553260>>have no argumentMy argument is you're wrong about Rolex pretending to be high horology because they literally communicate the opposite.btw, the burden of proof is on you.But it seems like you don't want to argue about that anymore for some reasons, uh?
>>18553176>I love how the typical Rolex-hater will make up completely ridiculous stuff to justify their irrational hatred of Rolex.Their shit is made up precisely BECAUSE their hatred is irrational. They are in conflict because they both love and hate Rolex.They saved up and saved up for an OP and got more excited with each penny saved and, when the time came…they got waitlisted.Their anger is no different than that of a boy who got friendzoned by a girl who had no clue he was even attracted to her.
>>18553265>masquerade>a false show or pretense>pretense>an attempt to make something that is not the case appear trueThey don't have to make the claim outright, their brand imaging is what does. Wasn't aware I was arguing with an ESL, so consider yourself educated.>(you) (still)

>>18553176patek doesn't claim to be part of high horology either, does that mean they aren't? in fact i don't see any of the brands considered to be high horlogy outright use the term.
>>18553281Patek uses the term "haute horlogerie" in their french communications, translated as "fine watchmaking" in english. They also use related terms like "grandes complications", "hand finishing", "handcraft", etc.
>>18553277Some ADs really won't give you shit if you don't have some kind of spend history with them. I waited 3 years for an AD to get me a watch before I finally went to a dealer an hour away and got calls for watches within a few months. It depends on how hard they want to milk people.

>>18553422>>18553381Wash your Rolex
>>18552998The datejust, op, and explorer are a humiliation ritual. It's just rolex seeing how many people they can sucker into buying a 36mm women's watch or a stripped down sub. Most people who go through the AD process end up selling them on chrono24 the minute they get a call from their dealer to come pick up their sub, sea, gmt, daytona, etc. and never even bother touching them again.That's why there's literally tens of thousands of them listed at any given moment in NIB/LNIB condition from individual/private sellers, nobody wants to wear them once they get the rolex they actually wanted.

>>18553468Assuming for a moment that this is true, how do you explain the fact that these 36mm models still sell over retail on the secondary market? Why arent the people buying grey just buying the submariners and GMTs they actually want instead of paying over retail for datejusts?
>>18553468I like the OP
I really like this watch.
>>18550978Been thinking of getting a JDM alpinist GMT for my next watch (SBEJ005), thoughts? Picrel is the only watch I have currently and I want another watch I can wear daily. Also what do you guys think of the Oris Aquis calibre 400? I'm thinking that will be my next purchase after the alpinist if I do get it. Definitely gonna go grey market as you can regularly find them for over 1k off retail.
>>18553875That's as fake as they come.the only worse thing than poorlex drones are fake poorlex drones.You literally overpaid for a PILE OF SHIT all for the off chance to "impress" someone with it.>b b but I always tell it's a repNo you fucking don't and we all know it.You're a filthy sycophant and a fake human social ladder climber wannabe.if you saw yourself how you truly are, you would maybe self reflect and find meaning in life, but we know you are incapable of that. That's what your fake poolex says, faggot. You are comfortable lying to yourself. You are the lowest of the low.
>>18553876The pilot and the alpinist would basically be the same watch. I wouldn’t bother. The Aquis caliber 400 is super underrated here. It’s a small brand so I one really pays too much attention. Of your options, that’s what I’d go for.
>>18553879You must have never seen a real one to think this is a rep.
>>18553881Shut the fuck up faggot, you got exposed and no one believes you.
>>18553880Oris watches are great and the 10 year warranty on their in house calibers is really nice, but like the guy said they're asking way too much for the retail prices. Especially the models using stock sellita movements.
The watch thread and pigslim situation is escalating out of hand. Nawt needs to step up and claim it's true mantle soon.
>>18553884It's okay to be jealous. Why would I need to lie about these things to a bunch of anonymous people online lol. I don't even get fake internet points here.

>>18553917Are you ok with used?
Long ago.. The avatardfags lived in peace.Everything changed when the bittercels attacked.
>>18553879>getting this riled up over a watch
>>18553819Sure, sure.
>>18553844Doesn't he sell extremely overpriced gold-plated Chinkshitters to his idiot disciples?
>>18553922Absolutely, I was looking for new watches for now but nothing really catches my eye
>>18553875I just don't see the appeal at all. And that's fine, you wear what you like.
>>18553939Yeah, but he obviously doesn’t wear them. I was asking about the pieces he actually wears.
>>18553881You must have never seen a real one to think that's a convincing fake.
Alright /nawt/, I have a little game for you.I've been thinking about the different categories that make a watch a good watch. So far, I've identified the following:>design (basically how good the watch looks)>accuracy>durability and build quality>technical aspects (complications, movement finishing)>brand prestige>heritage/history (is the watch known for a particular achievement? Is it associated with a historical event or a personality?)>reputation (is the watch recognized and validated by the watch community?)>value retentionNow imagine you have 100 points to allocate across all these categories like in a Dark Souls character creation screen. How would you do it?

>>18553962I'm gonna need a source on that cow
>>18553941Well, that's the nice thing. We get a variety of watches because everybody has different tastes. Imagine how boring it would be if everybody liked the same things.>>18553952I guess ADs sell fakes now then.
>>18553962 If you only spent 5 points instead of 100, which watch would you get?
>>18553942wearing Swiss watches and selling Chinese ones to Make America Great Again is just like him. At least Putin mothballed his 7-digit watches and wears Raketa now.
>>18553853He has an IWC chrono too, white and blue.
>>18550978Does anyone else here buy watch related accessories? I just got this corum pen for 20 dollars. Very nice to the touch. It’s PVD coated
>>18553962Watches aren't a stat sheet, kid. Just buy a watch you like and shut up.
Any opinions on this watch? Ive always wanted a tutima military chrono, but they are slightly out of my price range, found this one and I actually like the dial a little better than the tutima, but the companies history and build quality is definitely not as prestigious or well known. >>18551013Love the look of those Sinns, Id get one of those if they were in my price range
>>18554071They are actually. Watchfags will refuse to admit that watches are nothing more than a set of analyzable variables, because then they'll have to acknowledge that Rolex is objectively the best value for money.
>>18554080>Ive always wanted a tutima military chronoSaid no one, ever.
>>18553962Aesthetics is the single most important factor. Everything else is secondary.If a watch is an amazing technical achievement, but it’s ugly, you’re not going to wear it.Similarly, if a watch is good-looking enough, it can override all sorts of other flaws, like poor water resistance or being overpriced.
>>18554086Post the watch youre wearing faggot and Ill decide if your opinion matters
>>18554093>Post the watch youre wearing faggot and Ill decide if your opinion mattersNTA but that bullshit is part of the reason nawt exists. If someone explains their opinion you can choose to respond. If someone just bitterposts then you should ignore them. If someone makes a joke, remember that comedy is part of the board culture and accept it for what it is.
>>18554080Get the less prestigious watch you like more. No one else cares about what brand you wear unless it's a Rolex or above.
>>18554099True, and if someone redditposts they should be stoned to death with shame.
>>18554093>implying I care about your faggot opinon
>>18554110>too scared to even post a watch he likes on an anonymous basket weaving forumThats what I thought
