Endgame Watch - Edition.Post your will-be endgame-watch. Did you already buy it? Tell us more because: This thread offers a forum to discuss and debate wristwatches, pocket watches, and clocks. Several members here are highly knowledgeable in specified areas of horology, so please contribute to the thread by asking questions and/or asking for advice if you are planning on purchasing a watch from an AD or the grey market. Please post pics of your watches here; it doesn't matter if it's worth 5$ or 50000$, because there might be someone who wishes to eventually purchase the same model that you own and would love to hear some real-world advice regarding ownership. The experience matters the most, not the price. Everyone is welcome in this thread, because we are all Frens here.
I like collecting watches, but, as many before me, I reached the conclusion that I don't want to regularly wear more than three watches. In fact, I end up wearing pic related for the vast majority of the year. So much so that other watches feel "off" to me. When I hear or read or think "watch", I associate it with the feeling of the white birch. It's probably a sign of me having found what I'm looking for in life and have no need to look no further.I still enjoy reading and talking about watches, about innovations or clever designs, but I stopped thinking of acquiring another one.Friends of mine have done kinda the same. One is wearing his Tank and Santos back to back while he owns at least 30 watches in his collection, another one is wearing exclusively his orient, and I haven't see another friend of mine wear anything but his panerai carbon for at least 6 months now.Is that what "exiting the game" feels like?I only wear my moser on special occasions and my tudor when I'm doing rough things like mountain hikes or sports.
your casio is pig disgusting you chose it and are proud of it and because of this you should never post again
>>18614741Do not redeem
My f91w's strap finally became sticky and broke apart like candy. Probably will switch to black nylon or leather strap.
>>18614750After how many years?
>>18614768More than 5 years. But I moved to a tropical country. Could be just the heat fastens the break down process.
>>18614772Based Paraguay enjoyer.
>casio mentioned Decent Thread.
>>18614700>Is that what "exiting the game" feels like?Probably, yes. You stop thinking about the 'next' watch all together and just observe from the sidelines as more and more watches are being churned out. You need one watch that's comfortable and fits your lifestyle and however many extra watches you like as a bonus, to spice things up a bit. 3 as you said is plenty.
>>18614795>casio mentionedI wanted to post mine but then i remembered i swapped it for a Seiko and gave it away last week.
>>18614750get a159
>>18614681I thought you were getting rid of the Moser
>>18614681In America the $ goes BEFORE the number.$5 or $50,000 is correct, OP. Thank you.
>>18614681>frensFuck that. I don't identify with you incel apu people. And when you use that word you're painting a picture of who you are.
>>18614741What about this one? I just picked it out and spent $28 on it. Do you think it's "pig disgusting" too? LOLIt's cheap plastic compared to that shiny metal one you disapprove of.
My endgame is to be THE Swatchman.To have a different Swatch every day.To have a yearly rotation of Swatches.
I want this watch because it looks like a pricy prostitute in a spaghetti western
>>18614857it's ok
What are the best analog Casios though?Can any of them compare to the legendary digital Casios?
thoughts on this? How much would you pay for this one?
>>18614894Oceananus
It arrived.
>>18614926Do you like it?
>>18614928First impressions - good.This is my first ever mechanical watch though, it's a new experience. Need to wear it for some weeks to have more of an opinion.
>>18614926That's a very good choice man. How's the firts impression of the build quality?
We know everyone in watchmaking copies everyone else, but this is a bit too much i would say.
>>18614932The build quality feels really good. Though I've heard a lot of good stuff about San Martin so I was already expecting it. Got what I expected basically.
>>18614681the black tudor strap is the original or is an alternative one?
>>18614681>endgamemore like end yourself lmfao
>>18614926damn that's fucking gorgeousI've heard they're nice but not THAT nicehow much did you pay for it?
>>18615059https://san-martin.eu/shop/san-martin-sn0017-g-d/?v=adab7b701f23
>>18614926I think I like this homage better than a rep because it doesn't have that fucking stupid "ROLEX" repeated around the inner ring
>>18614934They did it first
>>18614934>>18615169What the fuck?? Why are you doing the same shit in different threads?
>small wrist>metal bracelet>turning wrist towards myself makes the case "want" to turn the other way>6 side has five links and 12 side has 6 linkswould moving a link from 6 to 12 side help here?
>>18615201should have got a rolex
>>18615142It has less text on the dial too.
>>18614920It's not my favorite style but it's kind of cool. If it's made with good parts I'd pay a couple hundred for it. It looks nice in the picture but I'd have to do more research on it. So many look nice and then you find out they're made for $2. It's got something going on above the date. And I see some dings. Looking closer it looks used. I don't think I'd want it.
>>18615205Yes, because Rolex is one size fits all.
What's your endgame watch?
>>18615553Citizen, not just a Citizen, THE Citizen.
Is there any cure to your watch slipping lower on your wrist and then flopping around down there?>If I put it low on my wrist and adjust the bracelet for that, I can't even move my wrist properly>If I put it higher where it makes sense, I can either make the bracelet uncomfortably tight and suffer, or make it comfy but then I will experience the good old falling and flopping after like 30 minutes of walking or doing stuff
>mechanical watches are cool because they have a sweeping seconds handOh really? But they pretty much never get the seconds right due to their low accuracy. So what's the point?
It's a beautifully made watch for it's price.Though I must say, the lume does not measure up it's other qualities at all. Even Casioak has better lume.
>>18615690Never mind, it's actually good.
Good evening, gentlemen.
>>18615690Wow, nice Rolex, brrr...
Good Evening.
>>18615810Ah, a fellow Citizen enjoyer. How has your timepiece served you?
What are the lowest price quality brand watches I can get for let's say below 200 bucks? I wan't a quality watch not some cheap knockoff, Is casio my only option?
>>18615848The same ones we told you yesterday
>>18615853Just wanted a confirmation, is casio the only one? or are timex and invicta any good as well? don't wanna throw away my money
>>18615883Dew it
>>18614681

GRAND SEIKO SLGA009 WHITE BIRCH on the wrist today, what are YOU wearing?
>>18615888That looks good on a leather strap. Is that aftermarket?
Kofe time.
Kofe Time.
>>18616056>>18616110>>18616118What a life! I'm so envious of you. And if I had such cool watches and drank coffee I'd constantly share it with 4chan too. Just to confirm my own existence. I'd have a cup, change watches, go to a diner and get another coffee, maybe a cold one, and then take another picture of my wrist with new coffee and a different watch. Gotta keep everyone on /fa/ aware of my watches and my coffee. I really need to get a life. There must be more to it than this.
>>18616132One of the reasons why I got into watches is because I unironically don't have the... time for most other hobbies these days.This hobby goes with me where ever I go, no matter how busy I am. I just look at my wrist and I feel good.While I am not a kofe poster myself, I totally get them. If I was having a little kofe break, I might as well take a pic of it and my watch, then share it with my bros on 4chan.Such little joys make life better.
>>18616118how is it? I never got into iced coffee. I just put some cold water in my coffee so it's like room temperature.
>>18616146>just put some cold water in my coffee so it's like room temperature.Disgusting.
>>18616118What is that growth on your wrist? A tumor?
>>18616153Yeah it tastes gross but I have to drink it quickly so it can't be too hot or cold.
Here's my selection (some I own some I don't)European:*Tag*TudorJapan:*Seiko*CitizenChina*Steel Dive
Mmm chicken
I arrived. See next time.Little throwback time. Two years ago, first visit to Japan. Not that long ago but it feels very nostalgic. A lot has changed since then.
>>18616229Holy ZARATSU bros..
I saw Exquisite Timepieces had marked down their Seiko Alpinist's by 20%, so I drove to the one in my city and bought one. Based or retard?
Can someone identify this fabulous timepiece?I want to copy his swagger and "rizz" the "huzz"
>>18614926Is this the pt5000 version? Can you measure how thick it is?
>>18616370>Is this the pt5000 version? Yes, it is.>Can you measure how thick it is?I don't have the perfect tool for this, but it seems to be 11 mm.
>>18616056Creh-dor
How much would you pay for this Breitling Colt automatic in very good condition used?Guy is willing to let it go for 1000 euro.
Thoughts on Garmin?
>>18616484I can’t imagine any sequence of events that would result in me having enough self-loathing to where I’d be willing to buy a Breitling but not yet be willing to kill myself.A thousand dollars is still too much to pay for a watch with an unmodified ETA movement.
>>18616452Bas-ed
>>18614681This is my endgame watch. Sadly, it's not water-resistant because there's no gasket. However, this can be fixed to some degree, and the inside of the watch looks brand new. It gains +30 seconds a day, and the date range is only from 1980 to 2019.
One silver, one gold. One day... For the time being it's Casio A1100D
>>18616722>quartz>+30 seconds a dayThat is so Hiroshima Nagasaki wtf
Reddit made a watch, so when is /wt/ going to make one?
>>18616800
>>18616800>>18616802disgusting
>>18616808on par for le reddit fags
>>18616808Can we do better?
>>18616824maybeWhere do we start?
I still can't believe how amazing San Martin is.
>>18616484looks like a 150 euro watch at most
what is the consensus on Breitling?breitling chronoavenger and breitling aerospace. finished grad school. in the process of big boy job. have my eyes on those two as my first 'expensive' watch.
I miss omega drunk bros..
>>18616827I know a guy who's a watch designer, he posts here every now and then. He should give us a few clues on where to begin.
>>18614700Nice choice, very classy.Im too poor for Grand Seiko but this is my favorite dress watch.
>>18616845Shame about the shit logo
>>18616800ewww
>>18616800>didn't even put le reddit face on itPretty lame
>>18616118you got a massive cyst/tumour growing on your wrist
>>18617001You just posted my first real watch. The dial is where it's at. How's the time keeping? Mine needed regulation on day one sadly. My 6r35 experiences are bad to say the least.
>>18617082Should have gotten the better 6-series movement.
>>18617091>18000Okay? That's not the 6r35
>>18617119You're right, it's not. It's an older, better movement from the 6-series.
>>18617119I'm joking, my fren, don't take it too seriously.
>>18617125Well, yeah? That's my point. The 6r series is shit.
>>18617082I love the deep red and unfortunately the pattern on the dial doesn't show well under the lighting and with my crappy android phone cam.Sorry, to be honest I just view these as fashion watches so Ive never measured the timekeeping. The dial is what really draws me to them. This is my other Seiko. A Cocktail time "Mockingbird".
>>18617001>too poor for Grand SeikoRock bottom
>>18617135Sorry, we can't all afford Audemars Piget or Le'ocle.
