>>18561499Dunno. Index funds?
>>18561452What's /fa/s opinion on Vaer Watches? They seem nice, but I don't want to get swindled into paying for bullshit
>>18561563You can have picrel in the same price range.Idk why anyone would buy amateur brands over actual legit brands and models.It's like Norquain selling for Omega or IWC prices when they have no history or cred.
>>18561565microbrands offer similar stylings to hamilton with better build quality, water resistance, screw down crowns, automatic movements etc. hamilton is kind of a meme aside from a couple specific watches

When you buy a vintage watch, when do you have it serviced?
>>18561814right after you buy it
>>18561814Depends if it just got serviced or not. A serious dealer will have it serviced before selling it. Always ask.Also depends if it's time only (usually every 5 years) or has a complication (usually every 3 years).Never buy a vintage chronograph btw.
>>18561817>vintage chronograph btwWhy?
>>18561821Fragile movements (especially from the 50s/60s). Many watchmakers hate servicing them and/or will do a sloppy job.
>>18561828What about a neo-vintage one with a valjoux 7750 or eta 2894-2?
>>18561452Making this thread as soon as the old one reaches bump limit is a distasteful practice.The previous thread is still on page 5. Mind you, we have 10 pages in the cataloque. Rushing to make the new thread is a sign of immaturity and attention seeking which should not be tolerated in this place.

>>18561891Your "constructive criticism" is basically you making a scene because you're uncomfortable with the idea of making a new thread supposedly too soon (ie: while the old one is still visible in the catalogue). It's an arbitrary rule you've decided in your own autistic mind that no one signed for. If anything, the consensus is to make a new thread once the old one hits 310 replies (bump limit).No one's stopping you from posting in the old thread, or make another thread with your own set of rules.Now stfu and post a watch, faggot.

NEW THREAD WHEN!!??
Japanese watches make jewish "people" seethe because the jews have burrowed themselves in the swiss watchmaking distribution networks and can extract value from the goyim by being "authorized dealers." They have no problem degrading the quality of the watches made by their swiss hosts by encouraging and justifying the use of Chinese components. The retail price of the watch to stays the same or goes up, and their margins get fatter. Japanese watch manufacturers, on the other hand, have a much stricter MSRP control and heavily penalize "AD games". Furthermore, timekeeping innovations from companies like Citizen Watch Co. and Seiko Epson Corp. further shift the value proposition away from what jews like (((Ben Clymer))) have established as kosher, triggering immense backlash from jews ITT when anons post a Japanese watch.
>>18561916Also, I am looking at Longines because they seem the highest tier inside my price range. Are they generally well received in a dress setting?
>>18561934big if truethey were always the JEWellers of the world after all
>>18561938No one gives a shit about the brand name written the watch you’re wearing you dumbfuck
>>18561887That's because a boutique in India called Ethos stocks their brand, they have stores all over the country. Jeets have a very high opinion of German manufacturing, so the idea of getting a mighty German watch at that price point is very exciting.
>>18561940I forgive you.
>>18561916Never heard of them and that sounds sketchy as fuck. You can't just lose the manufacturer's warranty, so if they claim that, then whatever they sell never had the warranty. Cause they're fakes.
>>18561938They're among the best selling Swiss watch brands.
>>18561916>Is jomashop reputable?They get dinged for selling fake sunglasses or perfumes every now and then, though I’ve not heard of them selling fake watches specifically.Still, probably not worth the risk.
>>18561916>there is no manifacturerurs warranty=>If your "Rolex" is broken, please don't send it in to Rolex, we'll "fix" it ourselves.Draw your own conclusions.
>>18561914I wonder why that is? Isn't Rado like the Rolex of India?
>>18562218Probably because there’s like 1.5 billion Indians. Even if a small fraction of them do any particular thing, they are still so numerous that they swamp out everyone else.
>>18562218Jeets are really into the "old money" aesthetic thing right now (or what they imagine what old money is).
>>18561887>always dozens of comments from thirdies going "PRICE?" when the actual sales page is only a click away
>>18562250I love this. Especially when it's an insane Patek or Vacheron they'll never be able to afford.
>>18562261Unfortunately they are, since our economies have been artificially fucked up and destroyed for the next five hundred years and you know by whom.
>>18562264This is actually what economies have always been: tiny numbers of incredibly wealthy people, huge numbers of people on the edge of starvation and nothing in between.The post-WW2 middle class was a blip, an aberration. We’re going back to the “natural” state of things.I get that there would be some sense of disappointment in people who thought they were in one group and ended up in the other group but there’s nothing that can be done.The system is not designed to allow more people in to the rich group.
>>18562273Yes, accurate. But that’s not “the system”. It’s planned by a small group of evil actors. This is so blatantly obvious I don’t even know why I care to point it out.
>>18562264>Unfortunately they areThe median salary in India is 6k eurobucks per year.It's 75k eurobucks in the US and 87k in Switzerland.I wouldn't worry too much about the jeets buying all the Patek.
>>18562273There is nothing natural about the economy. The rules are entirely made up, money is backed by nothing but the belief in its value.
>>18562314Is it actually any better than when it was backed by gold? What do you use gold for in your day to day life that makes it valuable to you? If people decided gold ain't shit tomorrow would your life be effected?
>>18562300Belief in a small group of evil actors is a lie fed to the poor by the rich in order to keep the poor focused on a fake enemy.The poor willingly serve the rich if they think that it’s in an effort to defeat a made-up enemy.Even if, hypothetically, one enemy was defeated, it would just so happen that “the conspiracy goes even deeper and the enemy was working for THE REAL ENEMY!!” and the cycle starts again.>>18562314There will always be rich and poor. Start over from zero and you’ll have people who are lucky enough to live on fertile land and others who live on poor land. The first group will be happy to hand over some of their excess food…for a price.
>>18561452What's your opinion on NATO straps?
>>18562346They’re fine on a beater like a field watch. Cheap, reliable, and disposable. Putting them on expensive watches or being one of those dorks that has a hundred of them and is constantly swapping them is pretty obnoxious.
>>18562346They're okay I guess but I have a negative bias against them because a while ago the trends among retards was to put their dress watch on a NATO.
>>18562328Have you ever read a single book of Marxist theory? Or even socialist theory? A socialist country with a centralized national bank will have a population where every single person is rich enough to have large purchase and at least decent investment power. This is Switzerland, Denmark, Japan, China and a few others. A country ruled by people who do not want this will have a population mostly made of poors. Economy is entirely made up and there is nothing natural or automatic or inevitable about it. The only natural and inevitable thing is that there are rich and poors among humans, but this is affirmable merely on a historic and existentialist point of view, which is irrelevant. Read Graeber’s Debt, especially if you’re a burgermutt who shitted his pants at the mere sight of “Marxist” and “socialist”, without obviously having the faintest idea what those words mean.
>>18562369Funny how people who are pro-socialism only cite countries with high IQ homogeneous white or asian populations when they advocate for it.
Thoughts? Only complaint I kinda have is the 30-30, otherwise I absolutely love it in every way. Except for the dogshit movement but I love the look, design, finishing, bracelet, etc.
>>18562380For sure your IQ is below 90, we all already noticed that.
>>18562364Yeah, i had a negative bias against them because of the 2017 era when every other watch was on a NATO.Now they make better ones that don't look like the cheap nylon you posted. It's still polyester but there's a ribbed pattern, looks a little bit elevated (pardon my french).
>>18562384> Thoughts?Didn’t you get enough feedback the first three times you posted it?
>>18561954that's basically what the local jeweller suggested to me during his sales talk, ugh
>>18562401No, only one person replied and they said "nice".
>>18562384"nice"
>>18562384I don't like the proportions of the dial, there's a subdial too much. Not a clean design.
>>18561916I just picked up a Superocean from jomashop and it seems perfectly fine.

Look guys, a whole bunch of shitty variations of the Speedmaster with oversized cases nobody asked for!
>>18563316I want an ayylmao themed speedmaster with an alien on the dial.
>>18562346Everytime I buy a nice watch the first thing I do is put it on a nato strap. It is just so much better then a bracelet or leather band. Sometimes I try leather and then change it back to nato after a week or so. Bracelts are terrible anyway.
>>18561814The seller should state when it was done the last time, then I add 3-5 years and drop it off to a good local watchmaker to do it again.
>>18563316Do people who buy these have special eyes that make them readable?
>>18563347They’re meant to look cool more than they’re meant to be legible. Whether you personally think they look cool is beyond anyone’s control.It’s been 20 years since the first Hublot all-black watch, so I guess Omega is right on time, for them.
>>18562364Based. I've got babby wrists so stock leather straps are usually way too long for me and look awkward as fuck with all the excess length flapping around. Nylon straps are way better in that regard because they actually give you a place to tuck the tail.
Sexy little Longines from the 70s. Only 1400 eurobucks.I would buy it if I didn't have already a bunch of watches.
>>18563458>1400 eurobucks for a 50 years old mall shitter?
>>18563458The watch is cool (asssuming it’s not a franken) but that price is absurd.

Each timepiece features a bezel and bracelet that are individually hand-hammered in a unique relief pattern by a master of the traditional tsuiki* hammering technique. The result is a stunningly rugged and original textural appearance.>The bezel and bracelet feature unique relief patterns realized with the traditional tsuiki hammering technique. In the world of tsuiki craftsmanship, the art lies in executing a pattern that is neither too regular, nor too chaotic — finding an organic rhythm that achieves the perfect balance for a unique and artistic finish, no two pieces exactly alike.>Each timepiece is hand-hammered by master tsuiki artisan Kazuya Watanabe, whose “fluctuating” yuragi hammering technique creates a powerful texture that is both impactful and satisfying. His subtle and exacting skill delivers a look and feel that cannot be replicated by machine.>The bezel and bracelet are not only beautifully textured with tsuiki, but also made with DAT55G, a special alloy that is three times harder than pure titanium.>* Tsuiki (literally, to shape with a hammer) is a traditional Japanese hammering technique used to shape metal. Different hammer blows and varying degrees of force are applied to create unique textured patterns that evoke the kind of warmth and individuality that only handcraftsmanship can achieve, with no two pieces the same. Used since ancient times to produce tea sets and ornaments, tsuiki is still regarded as a symbol of high art and sophisticated crafts in Japan today

You don’t care who actually does it. One ALS employee is as good as the next.With the Japanese, they are pointing to a very specific craftsman who is doing the job. The technique is what it is, but the guy doing it is what you’re paying extra for.

>>18563840>It's the vanilla flavored watch.That’s a good analogy, ice cream. It’s vanilla, but it’s also as good as vanilla gets. Only natural ingredients, no weird preservatives. Other brands may offer wild flavors, but will also include trash chemicals; or they’ll taste good at first…but have a bad aftertaste.If you want something the same quality, but a more interesting flavor, you have to pay more.Plus, a lot of people actually like vanilla.

Friendly reminder that Rolexes are collected, worn and recommended by the most skilled watchmakers like Philippe Dufour, Roger Smith, George Daniels, Max Büsser or RexhepRexhepi.

JLC is re-releasing the Reverso Classic, this time in 24 x 40 with a small second.>8000 €
>>18564187They're also the people who sell watches, and Rolex famously has much bigger margins than any other brand.They use their production scale and streamlined processes to make $3k watches in the same quality other brands can only manage at a $6k price point, then sell them for $10k. The AD's and service centers get a fat cut too, so they're motivated to shill Rolex everywhere.

>>18564257The lugs of the Reverso are so intrusive and unbalanced in relation to the dial, that the only way to make it look nice is to make it smaller and smaller, and that isn’t even small enough to make it look good on the average wrist.

>>18564557what is it? some kind of pixelated anomaly?
>>18564576Your shirt and tie were made for someone twice as big as you.
>>18564570What do you mean? Most watches have their name on the dial, perhaps the name of the watch, and maybe a logo on the strap buckle. Is that too much?
>>18564586Yes, especially when in many cases that's the only thing distinguishing about them.
>>18564589You'll love this one, then.
what watch
>>18564590>>18564589or this
>>18564581i'm a small person yes
>>18564579Nta but here: LTP-V007L-7B1
>>18564590>>18564593if there was an unbranded version of what they were copying people would prefer it
>>18564592It's a Raketa customized specially for him.He started wearing it during the Ukraine war, to symbolize Russia's autarky.
>>18564590I think this is what the complaint is really about. Some anon can’t help but think his sterile Temu watch looks cheap because there’s no name on the dial. So instead of accepting that his watch is cheap, he’s decided to go to war against the concept of branding. There’s no possible way you can, in good faith, think that a Patek Calatrava or Cartier Tank has too much branding on it.
>>18564577>Pick one.I'll take the blandpain please
>>18564596You do know they make clothes for small people too, yes?
>>18564598>I know what the people wantIf that’s what the people wanted, that’s what the companies would make.People say they want shit all the time, but they always prove that they’re liars when it comes to what they’re actually willing to spend money on.People say they want simple, lightweight sports cars. Companies make them, no one buys them. They buy SUVs instead. So the companies discontinue the sports cars and the people complain.
>>18564598lolno. No one would prefer an unbranded Rolex Submariner over one with the name on it, for the same money.
>>18564557nah
>>18564604People want a world in which light weight sports cars exist. But they don't want to buy them new.They whine at manufacturers to make another NA Miata in huge numbers so they can buy one used for cheap 10 years later.Unfortunately second hand purchases 10 years down the line do not refinance the development of a new car.
>>18564608ill wear it for the week see how people respond. it's a casio anyways so i can always just gift it off or whatever
>>18564611That’s exactly my point. Customers tell the company what they want with their dollars, not with posts on Internet forums.
>>18564557It's actually amazing how they managed to copy a Cartier Santos in a way you can tell it's cheap even when you only have a pic with 50 pixels to go on.
>>18564599Its not raketa, its IPF, an abhorred shitter. Its the same movement as raketa, which was already terrible for the asking price but this watch shaped diarrhea has a starting price of fourteen thousand dollars and it up.
>>18564557Are you like, some kind of wacky elementary school teacher or something?
>>18564604>>18564606I said preference, not market, this is a philosophical issue.
>>18564620It’s like a cross between a Santos and a Tank.It should be called the Casio Stank, but then people would confuse it with every other watch Casio sells.
>>18564630>this is a philosophical issue.Oh, you should have been more clear up front that you were just having a whinge.
>>18564623lol yeah the green and red is kinda costumeyi'm a finance student
>>18564630market = preference / price"Preference" alone doesn't pay the bills of a watch-maker.
watches with no branding would never succeed because watchfags just have to constantly one up each other and jerk off to price tags
>>18564639Oh so you're looking up to this guy?
>>18564646What watch would Lasko wear?
>>18564654He would wear the Reverso of a guy from the /g/ days who had a big question mark engraved on the blank side.
>>18564633>Yeah, I got a Casio Stank.“Oh, sorry about that. I hear you can get rid of it with some vinegar and let it dry out in the sunlight.”
>>18564636whinge on my dick cocksucker
>>18564257ah so suddenly they can put a small second on a 24x40 case
>>18564668It has the same movement as all the other Reverso Monoface so they never couldn't do it.The Classic looks better WITHOUT a small second anyway.
I made a new /wt/ general with a Rolex logo in the OP just to piss off the retards who post there
>>18564682Lmfao ebin trole. Based.
>>18564682I don't know why they'd be mad, but whatever makes you happy I guess.
>>18564700>W-WE'RE NOT MAD!!!!
>>18564714Look in the thread yourself. Who is crying? It's as slow and whatever as ever.
>>18563978No. He has a store and is a Kevin shill
>>18563955Damn ahahahahaShe kept her maiden name tooKEK
>>18564639Do u like men?
>>18564785She's pretty but so many surgeries.
>>18564796what kinda question is that
>>18564798And remember: that pic is AFTER applying all the filters.
>>18564798She looks like a witch
>>18564674I dunno. I think the dial is too plain without the small seconds.
>>18564820Yeah and all the bullshit cosmetic stuff like waxing her forearms and such. If she was fully natural she would be very attractive.
>>18562436the shitty zen lmao.
>>18564785wristwatch check
>>18561916Not fakes but I think they had a data leak. I ordered a watch to my office and forgot to add the suite number to the address. It was a huge pain in the ass to track down the package and I never forgot the suite number after that. A few years later, I start getting “we taped you jacking off” pajeet scam emails with that address, no suite number.
What's the best brand from China? If they regulate their movements that's a plus
>>18565152Seagull
>>18565152>If they regulate their movements that's a plusYou’re confusing regulation with adjustment. Regulating a movement is easy. Everyone does it, even the Chinese. But that only means it’s regulated in one position and at one state of wind. (e.g. fully wound, lying on its back.)If you’re in any other position or state of wind, you’re out of luck.Adjustment is more time consuming and difficult but it ensures that your watch will be as accurate as possible in as many positions as possible. This is why you see guys first check the accuracy by winding up their watch, putting it on a timegrapher and being overjoyed >My cheap NH35 watch is +1 spd!But then once they start wearing it, the accuracy goes all over the place and they worry that they’ve bumped it or magnetized it or something.
>>18561904Dang, the 80s Colt in PVD is one of the sexiest things I've seen recently.
>>18564550Yeah I understand that, but these parts are just so bad that the problem can only be fixed by sizing down the whole watch. You should never prolong the edges of the case up and down when the dial is already a vertical rectangle. It makes the watch look like dogshit. That’s why the Tank is the preferred version of the high-end dress watch and always will be. The Reverso can be fixed and finally look good only if you make it WAY smaller, so that the case with those ridiculous edges won’t appear like a brick or, worse, like a log of shit (picca relata).
>>18565357Here’s an example of the correct proportions and how it should look
>>18565357Forgot the first picture I wanted to attach when I said “these parts”:
>>18565357>>18565359>>18565361Oh, you were just complaining that people wear the wrong size. Sorry, I misunderstood.
>>18565357>That’s why the Tank is the preferred version of the high-end dress watch and always will beThat, and the fact that the name Cartier is a byword for style and JLC is primarily known as being a movement manufacturer that occasionally makes odd watches.
>>18565357>The Reverso can be fixed and finally look good only if you make it WAY smaller,The good thing is JLC makes the Reverso in a number of sizes. (It’s not perfect, of course, not enough styles are available in a wide range of styles but credit them for trying.)Cartier does the same with its watches. Rolex does with the OP.The consumers should encourage the companies to give buyers the option to buy a watch that fits their wrist.Unfortunately, there’s no real way to stop people from buying a watch that’s too big for them. Shaming them after the fact is unlikely to work either since they’ll just dig in.
>>18563458Very nice, i like it.
>>18565359>>18565357
>>18565357Someone tell this guy about the Tank Cintrée or the Patek Gondolo pls
>>18565426Do you mean to suggest that because both companies are currently owned by Richemont that the two watches are the same?I’m probably assuming too much, because you couldn’t possibly be that retarded.
Why does it take radio controlled watches so fucking long to set by radio? How long does it take to tell the watch it's 11:56 and 20 seconds?
>>18565476The signal you’re receiving is pretty low frequency and it needs to receive the signal a few times in order for error correction and resetting.It’s pretty old-tech and, depending on where you live, there can be tons of signal interference.
>>18565445I know them and they also look bad to my own eyes.>>18565449Kek
I am fucking done with the blatant poolex shilling in this place.Take your brand shitter and fuck off to Bucharest.
>>18565367This. Even in a room full of Pateks and Langes, a Cartier still looks cool. They’re classy designs, even if most Cartiers aren’t particularly interesting from a technical standpoint.
>>18565576Yes and no. A steel, quartz Tank is pretty lame as are those nasty automatic ones like the Française.But yeah, a classic gold Tank or one of the cool variants, or even the other shapes like the Tonneau or Santos-Dumont are very cool.It’s how you wear it that matters. You can always tell when someone actually wears their dress watches regularly vs someone who’s uncomfortable wearing them.
