funfact, Kieran Culkin seems to still be wearing his IWC Petit Prince he had on Succession.
>>18592799
So apparently Longines has a new CEO since September.Pretty sure the previous CEO (2020-2025) was responsible for most of the absolute bangers in pic.How we feelin about the new guy, Longinesmarines?
>>18592802I do like the new guy's cut of his jib.He had a good masculine vibe that a lot of watch CEO don't have.He more than matches the Time&Tide guy's high energy macho schtick.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31EgP7ok2aY
>>18592808Maybe he can add what Longines lacks:>luxury cred>masculinity cred>overall reach, especially towards younger buyers
If i was the Longines CEO, i'd get rid of the wings logo except on heritage pieces.There's too many brands using wings, Invicta, Brietling.
>>18592802>>18592808>>18592809He looks fucking disgusting.
>>18592811Nah, he's like a bald Oscar Isaac
>>18592810The wings go way back, I think they're doing the logo exactly right; leaving it out on historic pieces like the Majetek, and using it where some extra furniture is warranted.If I were him I'd axe the entire Hydroconquest line and make the Legend Diver the staple dive watch.That line is generic mallwatch diver slop.Then again the Hydro line might be a big seller for them.I'd also get rid of most of the filler, too many to mention.Basically I'd base the entire brand around these >>18592802
>>18592815Pic is exactly what I imagined Longines to be, before they started getting good.Generic dial, flat mallwatch numerals, printing paper white dial with a fine mesh of lines on it for some reason.Absolutely horrible, cut that shit.
>>18592817forgot pic
>>18592802Here's another great banger.
>>18592799Digging deeper into this, it seems like he's a brand ambassador for IWC.
>>18592846I know this is the right size for many people, but this looks enormous on him.
Crazy we got Labubu timepieces before GTA6
>>18592856>WRIST PRESENCEHow will the plebs know I dropped 10 grand on a watch bro
>>18592846yeah no shit, if you can afford any watch you like you dont buy a fucking IWC lol
>>18592879IWC is absolutely based.I can't think of a single other watchmaker that makes 38mm movements.
>>18592794Way too soon niggerfaggot.
>>18592886OP's announcement post in the previous thread was post No. 311.Timing was perfect, what the fuck is wrong with you.No wonder we have half a dozen /wt/ threads at times, you faggots get all uppity over dumb shit like this.
>>18592884>I can't think of a single other watchmaker that makes 38mm movements.How is that a good thing?>inb4 muh 3 months power reserveJust wind your watch.
>>18592890>How is that a good thing?How isn't it?Everyone is making 40+mm watches, but only one brand actually has the tech to justify that size.Plus most of the reason for buying mechanical watches is because of the mech technology. A 38mm movement is extremely interesting from this point of view.
>>18592794now that it's swung back to small watches in the mainstream, how long until /fa/ goes full contrarian and starts saying >you have to wear 40-46mm case watches or else you're a reddit tranny or Indian or whatever
>>18592856I usually think the same, but it works on this watch with the jewelry and shit.
>>18592873looks like AI
>>18592879desu i'd rather wear a brand represented by Kieran Culkin rather than David Fucking Beckham.Look at his fucking mug, so trash.
>>18592920I'll make sure it won't happen because small watches areK I N OINO
thoughts on the radio solar max bill? would be my first real watchi like the dial a lot but as a $30 casio wearer i want something that is low maintenance and good at telling the time
>>18592944sorry but that's hella gay
>>18592930beckham is top tier face for most of his life. cope
>>18592920>now that it's swung back to small watches in the mainstreamI don’t really see that’s happened yet. Look at what the “mainstream” watches still are: 42mm divers, 38-40mm “dress” watches. Sure, there are more options available in the smaller sizes but the idea that the mainstream has rejected large watches does not match reality.
>>18592964I like it but it's not a low maintenance watch for sure
>>18593008>movement exchange Oof.
>>18593008what do you mean? since it's quartz it should last a long time with no service at all, right?
>>18593025NTAIt should but apparently Junghans' doesn't. I have two radio solar watches (not from Junghans) and i'm not aware of any need to replace either of their movements, only the capacitor/battery if/when it starts to underperform, which is estimated to be around 15-25 years.
>>18593025It's a proprietary movement, so they probably won't provide parts to independent watchmakers and will perform a full movement swap every time the watch is serviced. I don't know whether the movement is designed in a way that allows only the capacitor to be replaced, but it will likely fail within a decade, at which point it will no longer be covered under warranty. The availability of factory-new movements will become a major issue over time, as manufacturers usually decline to service models that have been discontinued for more than ten years.
>>18592968There's nothing more masculine than a small dress watch, smoothbrain.
>>18593008deutsche (deuces) qualitat
>>18593030It's true.>Are you man enough to wear a small watch?
>>18593026>>18593014
>>18593037>solar quartz>including a comprehensive inspection of winding upIs it a spring solar quartz?
>>18593030>>18593034will i outmasc myself if i put my girlfriends watch on
>>18593037automatic wins againAutomatic watches from 80 years ago are still fully serviceable. That's why you can spend big bucks on automatic watches but it's not worth it on quartz or even worse smartwatches.
>>18593042Only if she outmascs you in the first place.
>>18593046Quartz from 45 years ago is also fully serviceable.
>>18593008is the primary maintenance service in case the movement kaputs>>18593037is the secondary mainenance service due "every 4 to 6 years", even if your watch functions normally
>>18592802I really like the new ultrachron since it's finally smaller than hockey puck.
>>18593040>>18593055i think that paragraph isn't specific to the solar quartz.
>>18593050changing the whole movement =/= servicing
>>18593077Older quartz movements like the Beta21 or the Oysterquartz were designed the old way and were meant to be serviced, not replaced.
Honestly if your watch isn't a>Rolex>Cartier>JLC>Patek>VC>AP>MAYBE Omega and a few other brandsThen I'm not interested in what you have to say about horology. Or anything else really.I'm sure you're a great guy and all, but we don't belong to the same world you and I.
>>18592820truly beautiful is that an enamel dial or just textured
>>18592713when you need to choose between roleΔ, normal piaget and piaget with rolex logo
>>18592802Longines have been putting out great stuff for a while now. I like the new flyback chrono too.
>>18592802In the Teddy video where he visits Longines he talks with the then CEO and the guy says they're the 1000-3000€ brand and proceeds to only talk about their price range.>we're very proud to the be the 1000-3000€ brand and we'll make sure to rely on our extensive historical backlog to release more watches in the 1000-3000€ price range that people will be able to afford so please keep supporting us if you're a poorfag who wants to splurge on a heritage Swiss made watchQuite illuminating of the positioning instructions they get from Swatch group.
>>18593166>Quite illuminating of the positioning instructions they get from Swatch group.you were unaware of this before now? He did not exactly pull back the curtain on hidden knowledge.Swatch themselves have published a chart that divides their own brands into tiers.
>>18593166To be fair, they really are doing a very good job of it.
>>18592820>>18593152>>18593204Those are real heat blued hands too, irrc
>>18593166Seems fair. Not every brand is meant to be luxury.ORIS learned that the hard way, no one wants their 4k watches, they have to legitimacy to command such prices.
>>18592802Shitters
>>18592820Fake patina slop
SOVL
Kobe time.
>>18593233As far as I'm concerned that's just a tastefully speckled dial.
>>18593234
>>18593238Looks like mould
>>18592802Von Känel was a straight G. Check out his interview with Wei Koh, it's hilarious and shows how the old geezer fought for Longines to be good again. Hope the new guy continues on the same path.
What's the verdict, /nawt/?
>>18593234nice
>>18593311It clearly has design integrity, but it's just not my aesthetic.Not even sure what style this is supposed to be; a futuristic sector dial?
>>18593311The only thing it's missing is more dial variations. I really hope watches like this come back and we get a mid century design revival.
>>18592811>somehow Longines returned
>>18593277A couple of gasketsDon't worry I'm sick of this shit too
>>18593322>from my favorite watchmakerDoesn't look like a Genta to me
>>18593334Seiko was basically making copies of Swiss watches. That's what the asians do.Pic related was released in the early 1950s. It was a common design back then, every brand had something similar. Omega, Longines, IWC, Patek...
>>18593344It's not so different from today where most watches are some kind of submariner or some kind of datejust.
i thought this was the non avatar thread
>>18593436This is the gafwt, gay as fuck watch thread.
>>18593437is it gay if 2 lugs touch
The straighter the lugs the gayer the man. Ever notice that?
>>18593451Apparently Nomos did a solid gold release of this watch for only $11k? That's cheap as hell for a new gold watch and it actually looks pretty cool, I can't even be a hater.
gold Nomoi are for colored wrists
It's been a year or so, and I still really like this Kuoe.
>>18593535>It's been a year or soOh, give it time, I’m sure someone else will like it eventually.
>>18593485Just call me Leonard Nomoi.
>>18592794Im planning on buying a watch for multiple thousands of dollars that I have zero plans of wearing. Is this bad.
>>18593535Based Kuoe Chad.How's the time keeping? Also, did you go directly to Kyōto?
Why do Zenith keep ripping-off the Royal Oak
I'm wearing my Rolex today bros.
>>18593695It's the other way around. Pic came out in 1969, three years before the Royal Oak. Genta clearly ripped it off.Too bad all the Zenith attempts are butt ugly, but they do in fact have the OG integrated bracelet design.
>>18593701ROLEX SEX ROLSEXRAW LEEKS
I'm considering trading my Rolex Explorer for this Zenith, yay or nay?In fact i have a short list of models i could trade my Explorer for:>Zenith chronomaster (either black titanium or panda)>IWC ingenieur >Girard Perregaux LaureatoI never feel fully safe with the Rolex, idk, chavs know the brand too much. I want something more low key and niche.Would it be a dumb move to trade it?
>>18593708>I'm considering trading my Rolex ExplorerYes. The Mazda Miata of watches.
>>18593708The ingenieur (35 mm)
>>18593711The laureato (but it's a little too out there)
>>18593708The chrono panda
>>18593708Those look nice, like some 80's action movie thing. Try one on and see how you like it. Got rid of my sub to get the one I just posted for the same reason. Am I scared? No. It is another thing to think about and I got tired of that and of the comments from strangers I don't want anything to do with.
>>18593729>It is another thing to think about and I got tired of that and of the comments from strangers I don't want anything to do with.Yeah exactly, somehow i'm conscious about it and i end up wearing it with long sleeves, because i don't want the attention. It doesnt happen with my other watches. Also i realized that i don't like too shiny things and projecting money, i'm more of a practical man's man.
>>18593711DO NOT BUY THE INGENIEUR 35MM!!!!It has an absolute shit-tier movement. It's not the same one as the 40mm which is Okay-ish (even though it's not even made by IWC). The 35mm has the same movement as the bottom of the barrel Cartier and other Richemont shitters.
>>18593708The black one looks better on the strap. The panda looks better on the bracelet.
I just placed an order on the Orient RA-AP0106S30B.
>>18593762I am sorry.
>>18593770What kind of watch do you like, Anon?
>>18593774a158
>>18593779I am sorry.
>>18593779Based Chad Iron-pilled.
i've been looking at older omega 300m divers and wtf they're all better than the current ones??
>>18593823>I was looking at older Omega and they were better than the current onesMany such cases.
>>18593823Omega needs to release midsized models againSeamasters are all 42mm or such. 36mm was good enough for Bond and Prince Harry
>>18592802do all watch fags say >absolute bangerswhen looking at completely normal watches? what's even remarkable there, i'm serious please tell me
>>18592802>one guy is responsible of all of that>he actually believes thiskek
Is this a legit substitute for a great watch that once was and that (((they))) will never give us back?
whoreturdello.
>>18593925
why the fuck is it so angular
>casio f91 BUT steel BUT not fat and different AND with real but still thin braceletsurely in current year we have the technology right?
>>18593957Trying out a new design language, I guess, to further differentiate it from the Seamaster Diver.The 42mm first gen Planet Ocean is still the best of the breed.
>>18593957I think it looks cool. The angular case and bracelet are well done (much better than Grand Soikope). The bracelet looks very well integrated with those endlinks. The case is 47mm lug to lug so it will fit most wrists. Less than 14mm thick for 600m of WR is impressive. I like the smaller dial, it looks very compact.Only things that suck are the polished center links and the ceramic bezel that looks plasticky.It mogs the shit out of the older version honestly.People on social media are hating it, so that means Omega did a great job.Now they should redesign the Seamaster with that new design language and make it 39 or 40mm.
>>18594004I’ll have to see it in person. In pictures, it’s a little underwhelming. Of course, I’m not the biggest fan of Omega to start with, but the angular look has potential.The polished center links are pretty bad, though. Those never look good.
What's the smallest diameter you would wear?
>>1859406435 if we're talking round case.
>>18594064Depends on the case shape and bezel width. A 34mm Rolex Oyster wears bigger than you think while a 34mm Calatrava is a little smaller.Generally in the neighborhood of 38mm is good for a casual watch for me and 34-36mm for dressier watches.
asspill me on this watch
>>18594115It's a Cartier Tank cope.
Whisky time.

>>1859406434
>>18593957Looks like a GS lel
>>18594115It’s an interesting take on the Tank form factor but is distinct enough to not be a total ripoff. How much does it cost?
>>18593708>IWC ingenieur>Girard Perregaux LaureatoPiaget Polo over both
>>18594161The Polo is unfortunately way too big for him. The other watches he’s looking at are pretty small.
>>18594152>You should be selling your Rolex because the Chinese doThe absolute state of the Rolex cult mind
>>18594157one million dollars
>>18594161Of all the Genta copes out there, this one is possibly the saddest, least inspired, and laziest. This watch is so not Piaget.
>>18594150Absolutely BASED.
>>18594211Based on what?
>>18594212On the whisky.
>>18593030>smallsurebut it still has to fit the wristthat watch is too smalland that pinky ring is embarrassing
>>18594157Do you realize you can not create anything that is "very distinct" to a fucking rectangle while still being a rectangle, you dumb motherfucking ape?
>>18593957>we want the GS audience
>>18593957It's called "Co-Axial", you dumbotard>>18594277>technos sky diver rip-offThere's truly no limit to grand soiko imbecility
I want a nice dive watch but I don't want another rolex or seamaster like a fuckin NPC, what are my options?
>>18594372I like the Oris and Christopher Ward bronzes.
>>18594372Doxa saar
>>18593957I dislike it but the Planet Ocean was always the dorky model of the family.
>>18594372Patek or dont even bother
>>18593957All kidding aside, the case design is clearly influenced by the "baby ploprof" from the 70s.Although it does end up looking very Grand Seiko-ish.
>>18594633It mogs GS though. You could slide a cinder block between a GS case and bracelet. On the Omega everything is tight.
now THAT is a nice looking watch (and its under 2k on chrono24)
Tudor Ranger in 36mm.
>>18594662Tudor is so fucking based.
>>18594662>>18594665This is exactly what we were talking about for years wrt the 39/40mm Rangers being too big. The proportions on the dial look so much better in the 36mm size.I still have nitpicks, like the 19mm lug width, but on the whole, this is a good showing by Tudor.
>>18594662About fucking time.
>>18594372Squale Super Squale 38 mm
This is a good watch >>18594633 and this is shit >>18593957Why do big boy brands struggle so much to understand such a simple thing? Machoman retardation?
>>18594636>mogs GS though.retard alert!!!!
>>18594636>You could slide a cinder block between a GS case and bracelet. No you can't
>>18594678>Why do big boy brands struggle so much to understand such a simple thing? Machoman retardation?Normal buyers mistakenly conflate the weight of something with quality. A big, thick, heavy watch is better in their minds. Vintage watches always feel flimsy to them.If people understood what goes into engineering a watch, they’d appreciate a smaller, lighter piece.
>>18594679>>18594688Go back to R*ddit, GStards.
>>18594662>>18594665Fossil ass looking dial
>>18594692True. And still, it's not just about the weight, but also the aesthetic.
>>18594665what makes it based?
>>18594678>This is a good watch >>18594633How.It looks like a Marathon shitter.
>>18593311How can Longines make so many cool models and still be uncool?
>>18594706this is a fugly mallshitter
>>18594662>>18594665wtf I actually like the ranger now?
>>18594704The case shape is simple, not pretentious. This is garbage >>18593957 (like every single GS) because it's designed to attract npc gaze on mall windows. Once on the wrist, it doesn't live up to the hype.
>>18594710>The case shape is simple, not pretentiousIt's an RO ripoff
>>18594708I think they look and feel good, but even if you don't like this specific model there are plenty more to choose from, like >>18593311 and >>18592802.Still, their reputation is strictly>Omega-cope
>>18594712I used to have nothing but loathing for Longines, but now they have a bunch of models I would buy and wear unironically.All it takes is a cool model and you're cool in my book.
>>18594064I have a 31mm round watch and I love it. I get compliments too.If square, the shortest side of the rectangle can be up (down) to 22mm, because the angles will fill the surrounding void that the round watch does not fill.My wrist is 16cm by the way.
>>18594711I think you must be severely retarded.
>>18594709Well it’s good now, so you’re allowed to.
>>18594626Does patek make a dive watch?
>>18594661that literally looks like some sea gul variant lmao.
ngl bros that new Tudor Ranger in 36mm is very sexy especially in white. Crazy how the Ranger went from worst Tudor to best Tudor with just a size update.
>>18594796Have they announced the price? I imagine it would around 3500 or so.
>>18594796>whiteBeigeI'll have to see it in person... idk about the dial color>>18594800$3700
>>18594800The price is on their website.It's 3450€ VAT included here.
Tudor was like "Anons on /wt/ are making fun of the Mercedes hour hand, what shape should the hour hand on our newest 36mm shitter be???">butt plugBravo, Tudor.
>>18594803>>18594804Not an unreasonable asking price.
>>18594796i'm not sur about the shape of the hour hand, but i like it.
>>18594829It looks less like a buttplug than the larger diameter version.
can someone ID this watch? I'm gonna send $10 to the nearest dog shelter if you do
>>18594881another angle
>>18594881the crown and pushers kinda look like speedmaster white but the bracelet is oyster clone. and the lugs are round, definetly not like a speedmaster. wtf is this. this is a celebrity btw
>>18594881>>18594885>>18594891I know what it is but I also recognize the writing style of bittercel so you can fuck off, faggot.

>>18594901it's not me
>>18594372
>>18595017Owning a watch makes it more believable that you’re not Bittercel. Simply denying it isn’t enough, since he’s spent the last three years trying to run away from his name.

>>18595060
>>18595076I already have a Rolex. Also I don't plan on buying any of these watches. >>18595112Leave this thread and never come back.
>>18595076Daytona vs Speedmaster is the only case where Omega is actually superior to Rolex unless were talking Paul Newman
>>18594741yeah the Nautilus
>>18594662>>18594665the dial might as well say „I couldnt afford an Explorer“
>>18594665Nice. Much better than the shiny indices on an explorer. Closest thingn to a 1016 in a modern watch. I like it.
>>18595151>„I couldnt afford an Explorer“You retards regurgitate the same stale shit as if it's news or something. That's literally what Tudor is. It was literally designed to be the Rolex cope™.
Kofe time.
>>18592969Still does, but as always, it's the tattoos that ruin the look.
what is this?inherited it from ~90 year old grandfather
>>18595350it was a pulsar VJ33-X004
>>18595060Zenith forever
Zenith used to make movements for Rolex or something? Huh?
>>18595434Yes. Gaytona was not even the most desirable sport chrono when Zenith made movements for such watches.
>>18595437Gaytona has never been desirable and telling me that some actor wore it isn't going to change my mind.
>>18595438I love seeing people in their 40s or 30s pretending to care about Paul Newman so they can justify wanting a Daytona.Just say you want a Rolex chrono, it's okay. You don't have to pretend to care about an actor forgotten by all but watch nerds today. You're allowed to like the Daytone just because it's a Rolex instead of pretending it has the same level of history and heritage as the El Primero, Speedmaster or Type 20s.
>>18595441Are all those "people in their 40s or 30s pretending to care about Paul Newman" in the room with you right now?
>>18595442Yes.They have me surrounded but I will not give up. I will fight until the very end.
>>18595441Paul Newman (or Steve McQueen, Alain Delon, Marcello Mastroianni...) are just style icons. They knew how to dress and had the chance to wear watches from the best era of watchmaking (the 1960s).I'd rather take inspiration from these guys instead of Ed Sheeran and his 44mm pink IWC.
>>18595444>t. The Gentleman's Gazette
>>18595444Based
>>18595060I love the Zenith, very unique watch both the case and the bracelet, and El Primero is one of the most iconic movements (as already said, it was used on the Daytona at some point).The Omega on the other hand is more generic (but White is nice, if it was black it would be very basic bitch), it's baby's first luxury watch, also its identity has been dilued with so many versions. But it's a crowd pleaser and easier to sell after.The choice between the two is like between a niche luxury fragrance vs a crowd pleaser designer fragrance.
I just got the shitter for the gf.It's cute!
>>18595444handwatch
>>18595474It could very well be a 2K watch desu
>>18595060I had a chance to check the Zenith irl in a boutique and I must say it’s gorgeous. Possibly the most impressive watch in the whole shop, and they had Rolexes, Omegas, Longines, Breitlings and many other smaller brands.
>>18595496Nice larp
>>18595480Oh it's a shitter anon, no doubt about that. But it's a fun one.
>>18595500>dildo-sucking zoomer can’t come to terms with the fact there are physical places outside of his basement room and the fantasy world he’s rotting in
>>18595060I tried both of these on recently and I thought I would much prefer the Zenith over the Omega, but it turned out to be the other way around.It's definitely the white dial speedmaster for me.
>>18595503>jlcyes, no doubt about.
>>18595509if there were Rolexes in the store, you wouldn't think Zenith is nice in comparison so yeah, nice larp my bitter friend
>>18595513Oh it’s the Rolex cocksucker again. How much do you get paid?
>>18595513your guccis?
>>18595514more than you make in a year
Everytime ROLEX is mentioned some poorfaggot incel starts seething.you're really making a case against yourself, schmuck.
>>18595525Don't blame him, he's indian and won't be able to afford a Tudor in his lifetime. That's why he's seething and charging at windmills every time someone mentions Rolex.
DUBAI WATCH WEEK 2025Anon's official observations:>No swatch group brands showed up.>No VC, Patek, JLC, IWC, or Cartier.>Massive van cleef chalet with the same stuff as every van cleef exhibition for the last 20 years.>90% of watches on display are 45mm atrocities.>Most of the watches are a part of permanent collections that you can see any time in Dubai Mall right next door.>Almost all the CEOs of the independents are fat manlets, which explains why they push for oversized shitters that distract from their hilarious silhouettes.>Moritz Grossmann finishing is legendary and they had some of the best pieces at the show, no I don't want a 60mm UR-WERK or whatever.>Lange stand was staffed by Indians, but their watches were looking great as always.Overall it was very underwhelming, but since it's free I can't say I was disappointed. I spent some time talking to Christine Hutter, founder of Moritz Grossmann, she is a very nice lady. The 37mm tremblage dial was a bit boring in person. MG movements might be superior but Lange certainly wins in the case and dial departments. I still prefer Lange after having some hands-on time with MG.
>>18595565Nobody asked. Here’s an extra (You), though. I know how much (You) appreciate them, GoatFuckerAnon.
>>18595572You know, they're actually some of the nicest and most hospitable people on earth, it's fine if you don't like blogfagging but the middle east really isn't how you think it is.
>>18595565>Maurice Big Guy
>>18595576I’ve been to the Middle East several times, in fact. The only time I came back having enjoyed myself was following deployments to Iraq. Nothing like calling in an air strike to give you that Deus Vult feeling.The Emirates is just a den of hypocrisy. They make lots of noise about being Muslim, but then proceed to commit every sin imaginable.They also (this is not really relevant) the most incompetent/best equipped soldiers I have ever encountered. It kind of makes sense, though, since they’re generally most worried about being murdered by their own troops who are part of some other tribe or some shit.
>>18595588>was literally employed to defend jewish interestslol that's the last time I try have a discussion with you, ZOGboy
>>18595577Apparently he was a big guy back in the golden age of Glashutte. The current company has no direct relation to him, but they take inspiration from his old pocket watch designs just like nuLange does with F.A. Lange and Richard Lange.
>>18595593I’m old enough to remember when cowards who were too afraid to serve would simply claim they’d punch out their drill instructors for getting in their faces.Back then, being nakedly antisemitic was unfashionable and we had to keep it to ourselves.
>>18595593No one’s trying to have a discussion with you at all. Take it to the actual avatarfag thread. You might have more luck there.
>>18595604Real Chads sign up, perform well, and then eventually get ejected for being virulently anti jew despite always maxxing their pt scores getting lots of cute ribbons.>>18595605You have become an avatarfag yourself because you deliberately identify yourself by whining so consistently.
>>18595607> Real Chads sign up, perform well, and then eventually get ejected for being virulently anti jew despite always maxxing their pt scores getting lots of cute ribbons.They needed bodies back then. You practically couldn’t get kicked out for anything. Nowadays it’s different, like always during peacetime.>Remembers two Joes attempting to teach themselves German by reading passages from Mein Kampf literally within earshot of supposedly elite Israeli commandos. They did nothing but seethe. When they complained to HQ they were told “Don’t you have anything better to do?”Wild days.
>>18595514>Oh it’s the Rolex cocksucker again. How much do you get paid?Yup, Rolex is paying some fucker to advertize on /fa/. They need the incel market to survive.
>>18595636Unironically if your product isn't incel-approved it's likely shit. People who have no stake in society have no reason to lie about the quality of luxury goods.
>>18595639Volcels have a great attention to detail and are hard to please (that's why they voluntary don't want to fuck women below 7/10).Incels are a mixed bag.
>>18595641Incels are an empty bag.Demonstrate to a “””volcel””” than an 8/10 woman exists and he instantly reverts to being an incel.
>>18594717are you fucking blind
>>18595565>The 37mm tremblage dial was a bit boring in person.You mean pic?I actually think that's a good thing; fly under the radar from a few yards away, and then insane manual craftsmanship up close.>Lange certainly wins in the case and dial departmentsMost Lange dials are printed and very boring. And their cases are fully stamped with lugs and all. They cut a little bevel to make the lugs look welded on, but they aren't.Moritz Grossmann actually has authentic case construction, with separate midcase, caseback, bezel, and lugs all separate pieces that get attached to each other.
>Cheapest watch from the brand is also the best oneRolex OPTudor Ranger 36mmPatek EllipseALS 1815 34mmJLC Reverso mid sizeCasio f91wGrand Seiko sbgw231
>>18595735>Tudor Ranger 36mmIt's fucking shit.It's an even worse version of that shitty railmaster.Also every one of your list is a tiny ladies watch. Eat some sandwiches and lift some weights you fairy.
>>18595741Oh yeah, the Omega Railmaster is also the best Omega watch. Thank you for reminding me.
>>18595438Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't desirable. Clearly someone desires it or they wouldn't sell for over 100% mark-up on the resale market.
>>18595741You shouldn't wear the biggest possible watch just because you can. Smaller watches can be way lighter and more comfortable and proportionally nicer integration with the bracelet.
>>18595750the two Tones looks better on him
>>18595753Not really.
>>18595757Yes really, yes very really.It's the appropriate size, also considering the fact that this watch is supposed to be obnoxious anyways.
>>18595735Ranger is like two times more expnesive than cheapest tudor which is 1926
>>18595735>Tudor Ranger 36mm>>18595741>>Tudor Ranger 36mm>It's fucking shit.This has been out for one single day... have you people actually seen and worn one or are you just making snap judgements based off of doctored photos/renders on the internet??
>>18595762Why not just wear a billboard that says "I'm a (n-word)?"
>>18595762lolno.The 41mm would look horrendous on his actual wrist (ie : not in the middle of his forearm). The correct size is and will always be the 36mm.Do you also buy your shoes 3 size larger just to feel more manly, you dingus?
>>18595765The Ranger is the cheapest Tudor with a Tudor movement.
>>18595774The new moonphase 1926 has a tudor movement. Maybe they'll update the regular one with a tudor time and date movement. Even tudor sales people will usually tell you not to bother looking at the regular 1926, you may as well get a cheaper watch with the same movement that actually looks good from somewhere else.Tudor actually has a few models they desperately need to update with new movements. The black bay pros still use the thick GMT movements with the thick case even though they made a much smaller GMT movement and put it in exactly one watch nobody is even talking about anymore.
>>18595511>I tried both of these on recently and I thought I would much prefer the Zenith over the Omega, but it turned out to be the other way around.>It's definitely the white dial speedmaster for me.Explain, what was wrong with the Zenith?
What are oponion about meteorite JLC calander watch? I like everytging going on here except its too dressy for me.
>>18595799It's just my opinion, but the bracelet and clasp were markedly worse for a more expensive watch.I also just preferred the aesthetics of the Omega on my wrist.
>>18595801I dislike anything meteorite, "aventurine" or lapis lazuli. I think it looks cringe and bad taste. Stone dials only work if the stone is semi precious and if it's of a dress watch with no complication. Otherwise it's too much.
>>18595812>the bracelet and clasp were markedly worse for a more expensive watch.I get it, it's a retro bracelet, it's not up to today's standards. But was it that bad when you wore it?
>>18595819It wasn't "bad" per se, I just preferred the speedmaster bracelet. (and the rest of the speedmaster vs. the Zenith)That was the first time I had tried either of them on, so I could change my mind in the future, who knows.
>>18595801Not a fan of the meteor dial, I like the standard dial better.By the way, it’s the black gator strap that makes it dressy. If you put it on a nice medium brown calfskin strap or something textured like saffiano, it can easy be very casual.
>>18595801The Citizen has perpetual calendar and a better dial.
So, is he a scammer?
>>18595845Surely you don't refer to that stale cum stain?
>>18595851I don't see any stains on the JLC dial, but objectively speaking The Citizen did it better.>MOP that changes colour slightly based on light>3d effect>Partially lets light in, so it can power an Eco-Drive quartz movement.It is perfect. The perfect JDM GADA PC HAQ.

>>18595855>MOPDelusional
>>18595801Not bad. There's also the sector dialWould have to see it in the metal
>>18595743Only the 2504.52.00
>>18593762I got it!
>>18595929That looks better than a breitling, congratulations, anon.
>>18595816Thanks. I have to agree maybe the meteorite it too much for this particular watch. There's a lot goijg on with the complications. As for the meteorite, I just like the idea of billions of years old space rock beijg used. I think it neat and like how it looks even though its not precious.
>>18595947Not sure if praise but I will take it.
>>18593727Absolutely hilarious. I will never not laugh at poorfags scraping together all they can to buy a janky vintage precision to give themselves an iota of ‘I made it!’ Top fucking Kek
I like chronographs with black/dark dials and I'm thinking automatic is the way to go. Give me some reasons why I shouldn't get the Grand Seiko Tentagraph. I feel like a Speedmaster being hand-wound has to become annoying at some point no? I also like the textured dial a lot and it isn't spring drive. What do you guys think?
Grand basedco is for wagie cucks who want to get their first le big boy watch but don’t work in bottom tier sales so not a sub
>>18596000I don't work in sales, but I work on spacecraft. The fact that the Speedy has that kind of history is cool to me, but I'm not really sure how it'd affect the day-to-day experience.I have a cope watch already (Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC819). It's solar-powered quartz which is nice and that's why I was leaning automatic for my first serious watch
>>18595722Yeah I like understated but it was basically a "nothing" dial. Keep in mind it's a small watch and the hand-made texture is basically invisible when you're not looking at it on your monitor.Lange applied indicies are really well done, better than basically all Swiss shitters. Also font, layout, etc.You're right about the case construction thoughbeit.
>>18595747Just like Labubu...
>>18595998I mean it looks great but when you try it on you'll realize it's the size of a small car. Wait for them to put the UFA 9RB2 movement into a diver, and then it'll go into a chronograph next.
>>18596083Good idea, I need to try it on.
>>18596079You'd have a point if Rolex wasn't doing this longer than your dad has been alive. It's a fairly well established institution at this point.
my collection so farguess which ones my daily
>>18596093For the overwhelming majority of lolex's history they were marketed as affordable luxury for plebs. As an "institution" they have changed drastically in the last 15 years, and now it's just pure LARP.It's more about selling a lifestyle than selling a product, same with applefags.I don't want that lifestyle, so I just have to evaluate the product for what it is, and it turns out to be very mediocre.
>>18596104How have they meaningfully changed in the last 15 years? It's been a luxury lifestyle hype product since the 80s at the absolute latest.
>>18596108In the 80 it was still a middle management cope brand. In the 90s and 00s it was slowly shifting towards "luxury lifestyle" but lifestyle propaganda was still in its infancy. Yeah they complained about Calvin Klein in fight club in 1999, but it wasn't until 2006 to 2009 that marketing associated with a lifestyle profile really took off. That's when we were subjected to the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads that directly equated product with lifestyle and personality. It took a few years for other sectors to catch up, but almost all products today are marketed as lifestyles rather than items. Rolex was trying to do this before with its posters but mass-access to the internet and social media is what made them fully invest in lifestyle marketing.
>>18596120What exactly is the "lifestyle" rolex is selling?
>>18596101poorfag thread is down the hallway
>>18596136The wealthy spectator.A sort of sports cuckold that watches others instead of just partaking in activities themselves.It's all about being seen at specific events with your shitter, of course.Buy this watch and you can be just like your favorite (millennial or older) brand ambassador, anon.
>>18595998Omega has 38 amd 39mm speedmasters.. I domt think id wear the 43 or 44.. it comes in a bunch of sizes.
