>>18555609>>18555565This is me wearing the seamaster driving to a wedding if you wondered what it looks like in non-promotional stuff. Omega's yellow gold alloy they call "moonshine" is a really nice pale shade of yellow that I find to be tasteful and not to cheesy looking. In some lighting it doesn't really even look gold.I'm really hopeful they'll go back to making more watches like this as full production runs rather than just limited releases. 60s Omega made some of the best watches ever, most of the stuff they make today is crap by comparison.

whats the verdict on micro brands?
>>18556022Good if you're looking for a basic watch with a non-standard design. Most check the meme boxes of sapphire crystal, applied markers, some machined case finishing, a decent strap/bracelet, and a mid Japanese movement for under $500.Nothing you'll pass on or get overhauled if it stops working, nothing that'll ever gain value or impress anyone, but usually not shit-tier either.Be sure to do your research.
>>18556022they make no sense given the prices of Swatch group's budget brands (Tissot, Certina, Mido) on the grey market
>>18556022Really impossible to say because microbrands run the gamut from>slap together a bunch of off-the-shelf Chinese parts into something that looks like a vintage Rolexto>companies that cannot make their own cases or movements, but they can certainly do haute horology tier finishingto>companies that are happy to work with each client individually to ensure that everyone gets their dream watch
>>18555968Nice, i like that.
>>18555835GOD I WISH THIS WAS 36MM
I was thinking about getting a Hamilton Khaki Field as an everyday wear for work, outdoors, etc. because I like the look and want a quality mechanical watch.But now I'm thinking I might just save up for another couple paychecks and get a Sinn 556. Way better water resistance, the date looks a lot better, and it's automatic. Since it's something I plan on wearing nearly daily for years to come I don't mind spending a bit more, but I really don't like that I can't try it on or see one in person before buying.Sinn isn't a meme is it?
>>18556441Never buy the cope watch. You'll always keep longing for the piece you actually wanted and it'll take longer to save up if you keep buying watches that don't scratch your itch.Sinn was founded by a German pilot and later taken over by an engineer who had worked at IWC before. The watches are still assembled and regulated in Frankfurt, but not built fully in-house.
>>18555968Well I'll be damned, that is very very nice. Omega's pretty cool for doing little things like this.
>>18556441Only listen to yourself. I like my sinn 856, I’m sure the hamilton is also fine. If you can wear one to see how it feels then do it, otherwise flip a coin. Don’t let the internet choose this for you
>>18556462>>18556465Thanks. I'm gonna go try on the Hamiltons soon, but I have a feeling I'll probably end up going with the Sinn. There are a couple things design wise about the Hamiltons that I'm not a fan of but feel like I could get over, but the Sinns just look sharp. I just wish I could try one of them on too.
>>18556441get one of these instead of a $1500 SW-200 shitter with nightmare cs and no resale value. also, start saving up for an Explorer:https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-watch-t127-407-16-051-01.htmlhttps://www.jomashop.com/tissot-mens-watch-t0604071105100.html
>>18556462>Never buy the cope watch.This should be part of the OP text. It’s the single most important and most ignored piece of advice.You don’t NEED a watch*. These things are luxuries.*If you actually do need a watch for your job or something, it will have to be more reliable than a mechanical watch. You’ll end up with a G Shock or something.
it's on its way

Rolex watches are more accurate than quartz.

>>18556634I am sorry anon.
>>18556634Automatic?
>>18556661My Vostok is more accurate than a Rolex.It loses 40s in a day, but it gains 40 when you magdump an AK with it on.So it all evens out during normal use.
>>18556664Without even a shred of hyperbole, I've been wearing my rolex every day for 2 weeks straight and it is still dead on time.
>>18556635yes>>18556683Can't afford Rolex™ Ultra Pro Max, I work at factory>>18556694No. But they're cheap and look pretty nice irl
would you?
>>18556712Did you get it as a gift?
>>18556441>>18556489I would buy the Hamilton over the Sinn simply because it's cheaper and the Sinn is not that high end of a brand to justify the price jump.My thought process is that you should spend <$1000 on a third party movement sourced watch, and/or just wait until you can afford a brand with an in-house movement at the next price level.Between ~$1,000-3,000 you are still getting a third party sourced mass produced movement most of the time, so what exactly are you paying for that warrants 2, 3, or 4x the price of a <$1000 watch? Might as well just save a little more and get a NOMOS, Tudor, Omega, Rolex, etc.
>>18556718I don't know why that matters, but no.
>>18555972mickey mouse watch
>>18556729What is the benefit of paying more for an in house movement though? If your tudor had a sellita movement in it would you even know the difference?
>>18556738The benefit is that it costs more to service and is usually less reliable. This is good to modern watchfags for some reason.
>>18556733If you got it as a gift then nothing can really be done, but since you bought it yourself, I don't trust that your eyes work well enough to actually read the time. Out of all the watches available you really thought an extremely boring slab-sided case, awful hands, and most likely an atrocity of a dial were the best choice. Maybe you bought it because you really like Zendaya? In either case, take a trip to Cartier, not for the watches, but for some glasses.
My $80 7s26 soicope (now $120) is just as good at keeping time as your copelex for $10,000...how does that make you feel?
>>18556748The fact that a Rolex tells (perfect) time is just a nice bonus. The real reason for spending 10k on a Rolex is to own a Rolex, one of the most beautiful works of art ever created by mankind.
>>18556748what watch?
>>18556754This, but Breguet, Blancpain, Lange, Vacheron Constantin, and Grand Seiko
>>18556463dang that piece is sovl

>>18556763Blancpain is below grand soiko nowadays
>>18556916And yet anyone in their right mind would get a Fifty Fathoms or an Air Command over whatever crap GS is shitting out nowadays.
>>18555835My first "serious" watch was the Bell & Ross Desert Type.I still like B&R's designs to be honest and I wish they made smaller cases. These things are huge.
>>18556729You can get a manufactüre watch with an in-house movement for $60 though.These words mean nothing.
>>18556969B&R squares are pretty cool, though they do feel like a relic from the days when Panerai were popular.How small of a square did they make? I thought they made a 38mm version at one point.
>>18556988>How small of a square did they make?Their most iconic models come in 41mm (time only) and 42mm (complications).Their Genta-like model comes in 36, 40 and 41mm.

Since I started wearing a Rolex i've been treated differentlyMost people wear a watch to tell the timeFor me... it opens doors- People take me seriously- People want to talk to me- People idolise my wristsFirst impressions are everythingI was walking down the street this weekend and an elderly man caught my wrist"Nice watch" he said"It's not just a watch..." I told him."It's a symbol of consistency, discipline, and the 4am starts that nobody sees"He smiled and handed me his business cardYou guesed it - CEO of a group
>>18556763A bunch of old hags and a yt woman to depict GS, I'll make one later.
>>18556991This is me, after watching 80's GI JOE cartoons.

>>18557406>Zendaya looking good on that picThis voids all your opinions.I hope you recover one day.
>>18557438You not finding Zendaya fuckable based on a very flattering pic of her is irrelevant (that's cope btw but whatever). Most people will think she's hot, nullifying your shitty meme.You should have used picrel and get rid of the walls of text. The pics are supposed to be self-explanatory.Can you believe it? I'm a Rolexfag and I'm helping you to make fun of Rolex. That's how pathetic GSfags are lmao.btw, what kind of seething retard are you? >OH NO SOMEONE MADE A MEME COMPARING AN UGLY WOMAN TO GRAND SOIKO!!! QUICK I MUST DO THE EXACT SAME THING TO SHIT ON ROLEXGet some imagination. That's some NPC tier behavior.
I don't care about auto/manual movements anymore. At this point I just want a nice quartz I don't have to worry about. Should I get an old quartz Seamaster and stfu?
>>18557458>Most people will thinkYou're incapable of understanding.I don't want or need the things I like to be popular or accepted. I want to buy things that were made for autists, by autists. It's the only sincerity left in this world.You want the image to conform to some standard of a "meme" that you think is widely accepted. You can't just see it for what it is, a file that conveys my thoughts.Your insistence on conformity makes me think you're a millennial. Stop caring about being cringe, just be yourself.
>>18557462You should get a solar or kinetic quartz.Batteries are obsolete tech.

>>18557471Nice, maybe one day you'll produce a novel thought and buy a cool watch.
>>18557477>maybe one day you'll produce a novel thoughtYou mean like baking a meme you tried to copy?
>>18557477Aren't you the anon who own a Speedmaster and is considering a Grand Seiko? Why would you post that pic?
>>18557396Anyone who winges about "Da BOOSH WAHHH ZEEEE" in a discussion about buying luxury watches is just a fucking retard nobody should pay any attention to.
>>18557488I like to communicate ideas in the form of images. Sometimes I post them, sometimes I don't. The idea isn't to only convey information through pictures, as text can add a lot of context and allow the image to convey the full thought. Sometimes just a picture is enough (maybe, picrel) and yes it is watch related mr. janny, please don't think it's a random image.>>18557489Just posting to stay on topic (watches) and remind people that if they hear about hodinkee regularly scamming their customers with awful business practices and fraudulent listings, there's a compelling explanation for why their service is like that.>>18557493The bourgeoisie are just people that shy away from every extreme and retreat to what they think will be accepted by everyone. In watches, this manifests as Rolex - the safest choice ever - that brings nothing interesting to the table (mechanically or aesthetically). It's the equivalent of the vidya-shop employee recommending FIFA to your mom on your 13th birthday.
>>18557462>Should I get an old quartz Seamaster Actually yes. Those are great watches. Thermocompensated movements. Very thin and comfortable. The black dial ones are the best looking. The electric blue dial ones are striking. The sword hand ones have some of the strongest lume in terms of brightness and duration.Aside from the so-so 90s bracelets, they’re basically perfect.
>>18557462I’m tired of automatic watches. My collection is gradually becoming just quartz or hand winding watches.
>>18557462Don't buy anything old if you want a buy-and-forget GADA watch. Get a GS 9F or a Citizen A060. Both have 100m WR and you can literally just wear them and never think about it. The 9F will need a battery every few years but it's a standard silver oxide battery you can buy for $5 and the movement is hermetically sealed so you can open the caseback without needing a cleanroom.
>>18557557>S 9F or a Citizen A060I don't want ugly dogshit though
>>18557554I've sold everything that isn't solar or hand-wound. I like watches that need no attention, or a daily ritual. Everything in between is boring.
>>18557462For sure. Am going for this as well, get matching 36mm ones for my daughter and I.
So what even happened to picrel? This was supposed to revolutionize watchmaking and then nothing.
>>18557577FC builds watches with it and sells them. They patented it so no one else can. What did you expect?
>>18557577Low demand. No one buying expensive mechanical watches wants a 3D-printed disc to replace most of the mechanism.

>>18557512Ref. 2264.50The best part of the movement that you didn’t mention is that it has an independently adjustable hour hand, so you can swap between time zones like a GMT watch without stopping the movement. It’s very handy.

>>18557697>My best guess: reliability issues.Yeah, the oscillator was fragile, adjusting it was a massive pain in the ass, and manufacturing the oscillators was very difficult.Fixing the problems was not considered worth the cost for FC’s corporate owners.

>>18556717i like the middle one but would have to change that god awful strap
>>18557665There's been a rumor circulating that a smaller seamaster is coming soon and recently people are speculating that Daniel Craig being seen wearing an old seamaster 120 means they might do a reissue of that.
>>18557765I’ve heard similar rumors of a smaller, slimmer Planet Ocean, which I would welcome. The first gen 42mm (which was actually 40mm) was very comfortable.

The other day my wife was trying on watches in the omega boutique and she was finding everything that looks good head on in ad photos looks and feels like a fat bloated shitter wearing it on the wrist.Breitling had the same problem since forever but in the last few years they came up with smaller movements and they're starting to make very wearable watches now. I think omega is trying to follow suit.
>>18557823That's kind of strange, aren't people higher up in the church expected to give up attachments to personal items for the most part? He was known at the time and is still remembered as a great pope.
As a non-watch person, what do watch people think of people who wear apple watches?Is it better to just wear no watch at all?
>>18557859>That's kind of strange, aren't people higher up in the church expected to give up attachments to personal items for the most part?lol, lmao, absolutely not.Catholicucks and their king cuck have consistently been some of the most hypocritic, materialistic and corrupt self righteous pieces of shit in all of history.
>>18557859There are two schools of thought within the Catholic church when it comes to pomposity.Traditionally, the church tried to impress with lots of gold, huge finely decorated buildings that took generations to build, and a Papal dress rivaling emperors. Cause the peasants were dumb and needed to see wealth beyond their imagination to believe in the power of god. Pope John Paul II was the last pope representing that tradition.Nowadays, people are repulsed by an open show of wealth within the church, cause they feel it doesn't suit Jesus' message and the money could be better used to help the poor. So the last two popes made a show of sitting on a simple wooden chair instead of the traditional golden throne, and wearing cheap watches. But this is a relatively new phenomenon. And mostly a cosmetic shift, nothing has fundamentally changed within the church.
>>18557864
>>18557804none of that is that shocking
>>18557864Nobody who matters actually cares, wear what you want. Apple watches are as normal to see as everything else Apple makes and don't warrant a second thought."Watch guys" are just going to think you're tracking your heart rate and daily steps like everybody else wearing one.If they do care, they're either a trust fund kid and/or a brownoid obsessed with status symbols, simple as.

>>18557214...and that's how I landed my job as 1st level support at Pornhub
>>18557500I really don't believe you've had much experience handling and wearing Rolex if you're saying this. The honest truth about Rolex is that as annoying as the hype and people who buy into all the marketing is, the watches really are amazing. The way the bracelet is fitted and machined makes it feel soft, the magnifiers are crystal clear with no distortion or magnifier, almost looking back lit, and on a level that no other brand has ever done right. The glossy dials are dark and pristine, the sunburst dials are deep and clear and never look cheap the way they usually do with other brands. The threads on the crown have absolutely no grit or resistance at all until you reach the end of the thread. There is a reason they're the most imitated watch, and that's part of why they look so ordinary - everyone wants to replicate that feeling that Rolex has, but without feeling the real thing you don't get it. just looking at it isn't enough, it's something you have to wear day to day and wind and set while you're having your morning coffee to get it.Before I had a rolex I already had a collection of good watches, even solid gold pieces, and absolutely nobody but actual watch guys ever notice or care. I actually like that because I don't need to show off and be the center of attention everywhere I go and if I can wear a really nice watch everyone else doesn't think twice about and doesn't bother me about it that's fine with me. When my wife told her mother than I bought a watch specifically to wear to our wedding she was disappointed to hear that it wasn't a Rolex, then she heard it is solid gold she decided she could accept that. At least it was gold. But when I finally got a Rolex suddenly the family cares about my watch. So I get why that's annoying and cringe, but a brand doesn't build a reputation like that by accident. Even if they don't look particularly interesting they are technically executed extremely well and they are nothing short of a pleasure to wear.

>>18557968>When my wife told her mother than I bought a watch specifically to wear to our wedding she was disappointed to hear that it wasn't a RolexThis is the most third world arranged marriage pajeet post I have read in a while.
>>18557968Your post made me realize something anon. Rolexfags are just like applefags. They're so obsessed with how others perceive them that they think the basic functionality of their devices is somehow a "special experience" that certainly must be unique to them, because they have "brand recognition."This also means that there is simply no point in discussing watches with you, because your desire for external approval supercedes all other factors when analyzing a watch. You probably just copy the way your parents are, so I don't hold it against you.
>>18558129"basic functionality" shouldn't be taken for granted. Maybe you haven't owned many watches in general? I've had enough to know even more expensive brands put out watches that don't feel good to use. I've had watches that felt so gritty and shitty to operate the crown ot totally ruined wearing the watch for me. It just put me off so much, and that's something absolutely nobody else would ever see by looking at the watch no matter what it looked like. So, no, like I already said I don't care what other people think about it. How it feels to use and wear the thing is more important than what other people are saying, that's the point.

>>18559252Is the crown supposed to be tilted like that?
>>18559373It's supposed to be 300m under water.
>>18559382Isn't a 36mm OP the AD fellatio watch they make you buy first to qualify for an actually desirable one?

>>18559468Nonononono stop hahahaha
God imagine waking up and remembering you're mexican.
>>18559209I have an Alpina heritage diver. The brown dial is really nice looking, has a copper-metallic shade to it.
>>18559468No the OP is actually the best Rolex. The least desirable ones are the Sky Dweller, Yacht Master and everything ceramic.
>>18559503What the FUCK is that date window?
>>18559508The movement is turned because the crown is at 4 o’clock. It’s that far inboard because the movement is too small for the case.
>>18559508It's offset, I assume so you can read it when your arm is at an angle.
>>18559504It's actually the air king 5500.That's the last Rolex with aesthetically appealing features. After the 5500, Rolex hands and dial layouts leaned too far into a specific style that made them more "unique". They moved away from what made them popular in the first place and leaned into a new design language that was different and ugly, but recognizable by normalfags with the lack of subtlety and classical styling. It's the exact same thing AP, VC, and PP have done in an attempt to copy the success of Rolex. They've all gone ugly as a way to create an easily identifiable brand image. It's why the speedmaster professional is such a great watch. Omega haven't sacrificed their old-school pencil-hands, and it's appreciated by people capable of looking up what watches used to look like (beautiful and simple).
>>18559511I thought the point of this type of offset is so you don't lose a lumed index.
>>18559514Yea maybe, it doesn't really bother me.
>>18559510The position of the crown doesn't affect the position of the date window. It's just a rotating disc. You can place the date window wherever you want.
New titanium Santos de Cartier. Unfortunately it does not have the tool-free link system and only comes in size large.
>>18559512If we're talking vintage/neo-vintage (4 or 5 digits), nothing beats the Submariner. The DJ and DD are also up there especially the 4 digits with the stepped dial.The early 6 digits were horrendous. People often shit (rightfully) on maxi case and ceramic but IMO the worst downgrade was the Datejust (weird proportions, disgusting finishing). The only salvageable watch from that era is the 114270.Current catalogue, the only sexy watches are the OP36, Explo 36, DJ and DD36. I also really like the new Daytona despite the ceramic. I don't hate the Land Dweller.
>>18559537Titanium is the least "Cartier" metal I can think of.
>>18559404Seiko SBTM341 and a couple of good straps and you're done.
>>18559464It's pulled out so the watch remains still and sexy in the Standard Watch Photo Pose of 10 past 10, also called Watch Photo North..
>>18559537Someone should make an alloy of gold and titanium and call it goldium.
>>18559537>and only comes in size large
>>18559547what about lead?

>>18559605How about Osmium, or Plutonium? Would be nice from a watch to warm you up a bit.
>>18558592Is this true?
