Kofe time.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.Previous Based Thread: >>>/warosu/fa/
>>18629384Finally, a real /wt/. I hope ShitterCollecTadello won't spam again.
>>18629389Hey, wanna see my watches?
>>18629390>>18629389Out of these two posters the one actually buying and sharing watches is definitely more respectable.
>>18629390Based ShitterCollecTadello
>>18629390save up the money and get the watch you actually want. Or continue to be a clown on the internet. Up to you.
>>18629390And not a single one is accurate
>>18629398ShitterHoardTardello.
>>18629384How does /wt/ feel about the GW-9400 Rangeman? Life has brought me to wear several watches and I feel a new sense of appreciation for the medium, definitely want a classier analogue than the Casio one I main for the dirtier work I do, I like them. Recently got into ABC watches, which brings me to my next question, are there anymore ABC's that are worth a damn besides the Rangeman, Pro-trek, and suunto core? Because I've had a lot of other people I've talked to that want a smaller watch at the very least, and I'm not entire sure what to tell them besides what I already know.
>>18629428Strange way to express your envy or whatever it is. What clown? What's clownish? Why can't you get the words out that actually describe what I've done wrong here? It's been like this from the very start. Out of people who comment, easily a third of you are strangely antagonistic about it but can't verbalize what the actual offense is. It seems to just boil down to "I personally would have bought this spendy watch I like and not tried out a lot of cheap ones."I'm not doing anything wrong. I didn't fuck up. I wanted each and every one of those watches and I don't need to save money to buy any watch. WHY can't you separate your own goals from mine? Why do you think I should want a very expensive watch? If you were really even paying attention you'd see that sadly I am buying more and more expensive ones. I've now dropped $350 on one. Your response to that is "mall trash". Seriously, what watches do you own? You probably want a Rolex Submariner, huh? And you think I should. And you think I can't afford it or I'm dumb for not buying it since I can. How old are you? Where the fuck did you get the idea I don't want any of my watches? And why do you enter a new thread and start harassing me out of nowhere? What the fuck did I do to get under your skin like this? It was fun and exciting and kind of just a lark, but you're acting like I've committed grave offenses against the watch world. Please, someone explain.>>18629433Tell me how much minimum one needs to spend for an accurate watch. Do you harass people who like Casio and Timex? Do any of you people making these rude comments even have watches at all? The "watch experts" here have been supportive. Who the fuck are you? Why does what I've done offend you so?Can none of you even identify with a point of view not your own? This thread is tainted with negative energy. >>18629384Don't post pics of your watches here. It DOES matter if they're worth $5. Not everyone is welcome.
your 1st mistake was enjoying yourself herethrowing $ around didnt help
SHITTERS everywhere nothing but SHITTERSSSSS in this thread
Best watch collection on /wt/? The whole lot cost me less than £2500 and there's something for all scenarios.
>>18629530Love the timepiece in the center, do tell about it
>>18629530Based collection. Gj Actual /fa/
I often have a problem with my watches slipping lower on my wrist, and flopping around, unless I wear them tight which I can't do 24/7.Is it true that a NATO strap provides some extra friction so this is less likely to happen?I've never tried NATO, only reisin and bracelet.Is it worth giving it a try?
>>18629539It's my favourite. An Autodromo Group B Night Stage. It's inspired by dashboards from 80s cars. I wanted the green one but this one looks better in a way as it;s black PVD. Jesus Christ, this catpcha is hell.
>>18629545Get one of these elasticated parachute straps. I love them and they're infinitely varaiable.
>>18629462ha so you could wear gshock on thick gloves
>>18629548Incredibly hot, 80s technology and its aesthetics scratch a part of my brain in a way hard to describe. Beautifully crafted and engineered, they didn't let the pricetag go to waste, love reading about this one. What lead you to it? How much did you get yours for? Also yeah, the new catpcha sucks shit
>>18629558my fingies were cold :03
>>18629564Got mine for £400 in mint condition. I've read complains that the movement isn't very good for the price but who cares? There were only 200 made so it's pretty rare. I still think the green one is sexier. This was mine but I paid closer to £800 which I couldn't justify keeping.
>>18629390One of these watches isn't even a watch but a knife.
>>18629530I was going to talk shit but for 2.5k these are great choices.
>>18629530How much did you pay for the Omega alone?
>>18629579400 is an absolute steal based on the prices I've seen, also from the little I've read the timing was said to be pretty good, though maybe not expected to be put through more rapid movement. I'm no horologist if you couldn't tell
>>18629549What do you love about them?Do they also go under the watch case just like nato?
>>18629589It was £1800 from a closing-down jeweler with no box or papers but with the Omega bracelet. I got it as a wedding gift from my wife instead of a ring. I usually wear it on a Citizen rubber strap as the bracelet is a bit ostentatious for me. >>18629599They're slimmer than NATO straps so they don't make the watch sit away from your wrist and the elastic makes them very comfortable. I like the look of the hook and clasp thing as well.
>>18629530I bought a 6 dollar screwdriver and discovered how easy it is to change your own batteries once every 5 years. I went a got myself quartz-pilled.
>>18629612>I got a used watch as a wedding gift.Oof.
I posted a little while ago about this Timex Marlin Jet Automatic I bought which I really enjoy, but felt too small for my wrist. Someone here recommended that I get a thicker leather strap to swap out the mesh bracelet with, because that would give it more wrist presence. I found this nice waxed leather strap, and even though I do like the mesh more aesthetically, do you think it looks better in proportion to my wrist size now? This isn't a very dressy watch, so I feel like I have less leeway for it to be on the smaller side, but I just adore the design and color of it and would like to make it work. 7.5" wrist here, it's a 38mm watch but I think the unique bezel and crystal style with the smaller dial kind of make it wear small.
>>18629655A more angled shot
we don't do nawt anymore?where else should I post, reddit?
>>18629673All the nawt posters were away for the holidays, I guess. You must have been really lonely, eh, Bittercel?
>>18629619Highly based. What bracelet is that on the Seamaster? It doesn’t look OEM.
>>18629680It’s a Forstner 1450 bracelet. I still have the original bracelet, but it doesn’t taper or have any microadjustment. This one has a tool free microadjust and smaller links so it’s much more comfortable. The 9-link Bond bracelet is also pretty dated looking anyway.
If I import to the USA a German watch, with Swiss movement, sold from a Japanese store.... what tariffs do I pay???
Only shitters have sunburst dials. You know i am right.
>>18629713Were you the same little boy who spazzed out over Blancpain in the last thread? If so, good job, that was an incredible meltie.
>>18629719Check this faggots HDD
>>18629713You guys argue over the most odd and insane things, seriously.
>>18629655>>18629656The size looks fine and not out of place at all. I agree that it looks better on the leather strap, though it looks like the strap is a little too tight on your wrist>>18629713I believe I recall reading that sunburst dials are easier/less complicated/more forgiving to make than others that are brushed in one direction, or otherwise textured. Not sure how true that is, though.
>>18629801Unidirectional brushing is easier to do. A sunburst dial is rotated while being brushed and is then lacquered.Sunburst is seen more often because it’s popular. People like them. (Not that one anon, but certainly normal people like them.)>>18629778>You guys argue over the most odd and insane things, seriously.Watches tend to attract a lot of autistic men. All the little mechanical parts must soothe them, I guess. They’re pretty easy to identify and ignore, though. Just look for people who can’t tell the difference between their own opinion and objective fact.
>>18629807>Watches tend to attract a lot of autistic men. All the little mechanical parts must soothe them, I guess.It's more about the delusional desire to go against the current era.
>>18629809It can be both. There is some crossover between the autistic watch collectors and the autistic train enthusiasts (also known as foamers).
>>18629575Based
>>18629656>>18629655The dial looks like it's constantly luming. Very nice man.

Best thread in a while
I absolutely adore my green Casio duro, but as I learn more about watches and see more higher end stuff in person, I'm starting to want something similar to this but higher quality, with more finely detailed indices, hands, dial, bezel, and so on. Looking at dive watches that have a black dial and green bezel, they're almost always a more yellowish or olive green instead of the neutral, even slightly tilting towards blue, green of this duro.Would you guys have any recommendations for an upgrade to my green duro that somewhat resembles it in the spirit but is a significant step up in quality? I was thinking to get something between $300 and $1,000. Coming with a nice, quality steel bracelet would be a big plus, or if there's an aftermarket high quality bracelet available for it like on Long Island Straps, that would be fine too.
>>18629896Steinhart Ocean One Green
>>18629896San Martin Submariner
>>18629901I posted a photo I took under yellowish light, my bad. That's close but it's a little on the yellow side of the green spectrum, like I was saying. Here's a photo and neutral lighting that shows clear, neutral green leaning towards the cooler end of the spectrum that I'm looking for.
>>18629903Probably better off getting something with a generic bezel insert size and swapping it with one thats the shade you want.
>>18629905That's fair, I didn't think about that. Thank you>>18629902Pretty close but I would prefer a black dial. Does it come in that combination?
>>18629908Yes.
>>18629909>>18629902It seems that san martin chads can't stop winning
Just got my new Seiko. I'm in love. 39mm just works great with my wrist size.
>>18629927Please tell me two things:-It's not plastic -It's mechaquartz
>>18629939It's sapphire crystal. And the strap is nylon outer, leather inside.
>>18629941What about the case? Why is it black?
>>18629945Black stainless
>>18629948Ridiculously based.Nice watch m8. Good choice.
>>18629927Man, sapphire without AR is rough to see, really cloudy. I would prefer mineral or something at this price point if they're just going to do raw sapphire.
>>18629955>ARI just took it at a bad angle. The watch pops a decent amount, especially outside.
Thinking about getting my dad a Seiko SZSB012He's a fan of Japan technology, but a Casio would be too 'meh'So might as well get a staple for him
>>18629960Don't piss on Casio. They're great. They just aren't a luxury brand. I've got my Casio F91-W beater digital watch, and my expensive-ish Seiko Chrono. Love them both.
>>18629964Oh dude, Casio is my jam. I own a Royale, an MTP-M306D-1AV, and a black'n' gold G-ShockI just don't think it's his style, being a doctor n allThen again he's a gearhead, so i might throw in an F91W or even a Royale
The other option would be to save a bit an go for a SPB203J1, just for the like and that badass textured dial
>>18629976just for the lume hands*
>>18629976People will tell you to get a Presage and then as soon as you own it they'll tell you it sucks or dismiss it as some cheap trash. I'm starting to believe there are just trolls here who don't want anyone to be happy.
>>18629588WTF? Why were you going to talk shit? Don't do that. Be nice.
>>18629634Fuck yourself.
>>18629511>>18629513ID?
>>186299993200-1217I don't wear it often but it was supposed to be my endgame watch. Haven't bought anything since (2024) but I've been thinking of my next watch for a while now because I'm starting a new well paid job soon.
with that being said, it's Friday night so I will wear it today.
>>18630032Ah shit I lied. Bought this Casio early 2025. It was like 2000¥ but it still counts as a new watch. I wear it a lot at work.
>>18630036You must actually be asian. That chimo shit on your phone is gay though no matter what you are. You're an adult male. Not sure why you'd have some toddler shit where people can see it.
>>18630036Is there more homosexual way to take a picture of your watch than this?
>>18629964>They're great.not really
>>18630036What the fuck is wrong with this guy?
>>18630132Too much anime.
Thoughts?
I don't understand why people think a royal oak is justified costing 50 times as much as this one.
>>18630136I don't even think about $5,000 watches. I'm sure it's great. I'll never need a GMT though. Grand Seiko is nice but I could simply never relax with something that expensive on my wrist. And if it just sits at home on display I'd rather put my art money into paintings and sculptures. Maybe if I won the lottery I'd feel differently. But it's probably because I used to have pic related but lost it during a booze blackout.
>>18630151It's never justified.It's not too hard for richfags to afford something like that, so they casually buy it to flex on poorfags.This for some reason mindbreaks the poorfags into wanting these overpriced trinkets and seeing them as something to aspire to.In fact, there is a market for pretty much overpriced everything. Companies make random shit, but expensive, and richfags actually buy it because they get this feeling like it's better quality, or like they are superior to the rest of the population.Keep in mind that these products are sometimes better, other times not. Usually the difference is small.
>>18630036your casio is ugly
Visited my local antique shop and bought a few watches they sold for £5 each. ORIS Executive made during the quartz crisis. Not much on the Internet about these, some people even think Oris never made quartz models, so cool to have a piece of their shameful history lol.
>>18630154>But I could simply never relax with something that expensive on my wristFear of scratching it?
>>18630186Thin square quartz watches on a bracelet are always extremely based. Good find man.
>>18630088>You must actually be asianThat’s literally the nicest thing anyone has ever said to Whoretadello.
>>18630193Love a thin quartz. One of the other finds, 1980s Seiko I think, not the best condition, golds coming of the bracelet but it's got that sleaze
>>18630195What's this stupid "tadello" suffix supposed to signify? You seem fond of it.
>>18630188Read all the way to the end of the posts you reply to. Just a good rule of thumb.
>>18630243The trouble with you trying to pretend that you’re retarded is that no one believes you’re pretending.
>>18630244$650? Yeah that "swedish" watch is 70% Chinese and 29% japanese.
>>18630249And your point is? Oh, that you disapprove of my limited edition watch. Duly noted. What watches do you have again, troll?
>>18630246So you don't have an answer to that. Got it. Can't defend your own nonsense. Every board has its autistic fool.
>>18630252I think it started with Mortadello
>>18630250
The great debate for my b-day gift to myself this year.
>>18630291Just buy a Rolex.
Most recent purchase
>>18630292I have a pretty hard limit I set for myself of around $1,200-$1,500 at the absolute most for a watch, usually getting stuff around $400-$900, sorry.
>>18630291Hard choice, but the Baltic looks more KINO.
>>18630291A challenger appears (asking for $925)
>>18629513>>18629496always a treat to see moser anything>>18630293didn’t realize sinn had a five link bracelet, this is lovely. very tempted to get the 104 with the green dial especially now that I know this bracelet is an option
Whisky time.
>>18630291>>18630324Of these options I like the CW because I think bronze looks a lot better of you have different colors all contrasting with the bronze to set the watch off a little more. You seem set on a dive watch, but if I was going to pull the trigger on an under $2k bronze watch - and I have been considering it - I'd get the baltic hermetique. Lots of color and life to it, small and thin and comfortable to wear with anything, nice blue dial.on the other hand >>18630292
Good morning
>>18630440Good day sir, nice watch and a even nicer cat.
>>18630324BRONZO!! COPERINO!!
>>18630429Nice pieceI have the 104 as well. One of my favorite watches, you won’t be disappointed. It also looks great on a strap
>>18630268Idiot simpletons. You really do think we all aspire to ownership of Rolex and Patek. lolYou're so dumb and predictable and your lofty tastes are so ordinary. >stupid idiot wanting a $650 microbrand and not a Rolex, the undisputed KING of watches..

>>18630553???
>>18630554What if you have cats for your wife, who is a woman that lives in your house?
>>18630554I mean yes brah, that's just your opinion.You can be a faggot and exclusively like women, you can be an incel and married. What even is the definition these days? It's just your enemy's view on you.
>>18630559I hope I never spend so much time here I "get to know" people and assign them pet names. That's pretty disgusting.
>>18630566>We all are all Frens hereYou missed this part. maybe some other forum of discussion is for you, anon.
>>18630570I'm okay with friends. "Frens" are incel frogposters who hate women though. Not on board. We can discuss watches here though, not personalities.
>>18630554Unfathomably based.>>18630564You should have KIDS for your wife to take care of, you retarded mangina.
Do I need to post my kids to justify having a cat now? Fucking hell, what a retard. Just keep scrolling, bitch.
You incels are laughing at me now, but when I buy a Patrick Phillipe you won't be laughing anymore.
Oi mate, you got a loicense for that cat?

>>18630604He's BACK
Where is that based seiko watch with the swastika on it?
>>18629384I was trilled with this piece till they put a big scratch into my caseback trying to open it. And also the old battery burst so the insides aren’t particularly clean. Maybe I’m making something out of nothing. But I don’t like things to be damaged in any way while i wear them. It’s not like i can rebuy it. It’s out of 50 and they never publicly sold them.
>>18630661Came with the box too
>>18630662>>18630661Tell us more about this watch.
>>18629384Not a /wt/ guy, but recent pick up. How’d I do?
>>18630665Damn, my bad. Phone posting.
Hamota approves
So, has enough time passed that the PRX can be worn without everyone calling you a trend-chaser or bandwagoner, or is it still something everyone online will neg on you for buying?
>>18630678If you wear it now everyone thinks you fell for the meme and you're still coping. It's honestly never been a good watch.
>>18630690>It's honestly never been a good watch.By what measurement?
>>18630693>synthetic/plastic escapement (pallet fork and escape wheel)>It's laser-regulated at the factory, making fine adjustments harder for independent watchmakers.And I guess after 5-10 years the service might cost 400$ which is 60% of the watch's cost.Objectively, these are the only things that come to mind.But that's just not the problem. It's a watch that is simply not unique and we, (but most importantly yourself), know that it isn't the watch you really want. On the contrary, it's a 3 to 4 times removed Cope of a cope of a cope watch. Like getting a junghans which is a cope of Nomos, which is a cope of G Original and Moritz Grossman which are a cope of ALS--Tissot makes unique watches, it's not the branding itself but in this case, the branding + what the prx stands for. The new nomos Worldtimer for example can't be a cope watch because it's too unique. And lastly, like the other guy said, anyone who knows about watches will either think that you fell for the hype and if you didn't fall for it, then you're larping if owning the watch you actually wanted. >Disclaimer:This is just my way of thinking and why I would never buy a PRX. The best thing about swatch is the repairability and ease of access to said repairability and ease of mind. That Pro is lost with the PRX.
>>18630709>>18630693At the end of the day, if you like it, buy it.
>>18630709So if you get the quartz version, it's basically fine? No escapement or anything.
>>18630717Honestly, yes because it's less than half the price for the same good casing and bracelet. Keep in mind the dial is completely different also. But credit where credit's due, Tissot always regulates their automatic watches before shipping them out of the factory, which Seiko clearly doesn't.I never thought about it but yes, If I had the choice, I'd pick the quartz version. It's also 1mm thinner. My friend really, get the one you want. Make sure to wear it, inspect it with Macro first (gaps in the lugs and bracelet. Scratches on the hands/markers. Check the movement if it sounds right (if it's too loud for example)) etc. take.your.time at the AD or wherever. Don't feel bad for them, you're spending a decent amount of money, they got 30 mins to spend.
>>18630717>>18630719And if you think about what the design represents- It combines the Quartz movement of the 70s quartz crisis with the iconic royal oak design of the same era as well.

>>18630664its a quartz breitling customized by repossi. Which is a jeweler mostly but they also make watches. The breitling without the custom parts is like double what I paid for this one. I think i've seen one of these for sale before but thats it

>>18629982You're on 4chan. Nobody can be happy here.>>18630165THIS>>18630678The best PRX is the PRX that doesn't have Tissot on it.
>>18630165The small differences are what make all the differences though, legitimately. It's a lot of small differences that make a luxury watch comfortable enough that you can forget you're wearing it. Sometimes I have to actually check to make sure I didn't lose my watch somewhere because I don't feel it, some of them are that comfortable whether it's a difference in the finishing on the metal components or the quality or treatment of the strap material or whatever it is. It's hard to even quantify where all the money goes and how it contributes to the watch, but it's there. You can tell the difference between the rolex or omega and the san martin homages by feeling even if you couldn't tell by looking.
>>18630660Back to /pol/, shitwad.
>>18630665My 76 year old jeweler has that same one. I brought in some watches for tune ups and he always says "You only need one watch."And that is his. Dude owns a jewelry store for 40 years and works on watches all day and that's his watch.Gotta respect that.
>>18630678Ignore everyone, anon. If you love the watch that's all that matters. lol, no matter what the cost or what the style, these insecure, insignificant, miserable bastards will give you shit for it. Wear whatever you want with pride. YOU are always right. Don't forget that.
>>18630709Maybe it is the watch he wants. He did buy it. Fuck you people for making others feel bad about their purchase.
>>18630724Green Presage is like $120 more than yours and it's just got so much sparkle and class. I like yours too for that simple look, but I'd get one of the $150 Seiko 5s that look just like it. Ultimately I'd want both of course and that's why I'd compromise on the black.
>>18630738Gee, I don't know, anon. They're all so.....If that's really the most interesting watch at that price in your eyes. How ever will you decide?>my first SubmarinerAh, you want a whole collection of one line of Rolex. Interesting.
>>18630804> I'd get one of the $150 Seiko 5syikes can we not recommend those anymore? thanks for that he can get actually nice quartz seiko with non garbage bracelet
>>18630826Bracelet schmracelet. I'm so over metal bands. All that shit is interchangeable anyway.
>>18630804Not for the trade offer, the big crown, and no power reserve complication. Plus my daily driver is an SRPK87, so don't really need another one.>>18630826I buy Citizen for solar quartz. Wearing a 37mm Garrison right now. Bracelets aren't an issue in a world of great aftermarket bracelets. Even so, the NOS Seiko 5s with 7S26 movements are a hell of a good deal from the gray market. I can get one from Joma for $120 and add $75 for a good aftermarket bracelet.
What's the significance of specifically highlighting the hours between 12 and 4? Does anyone know? I've seen it on a few watches and wondered. Thinking of getting this as a quick Amazon buy for $147. There are a couple different similar versions available.
>>18630719>>18630717>>18630711UR ALL STUPID!!!!! HAMOTA HAS TEH BEST WATCHES BITCHESSSSS!!!!!!
>>18630795What watch is this?
>>18630765You are exaggerating these differences, and you know it.It's like saying that expensive designer clothes are the most comfortable, normal people don't even know what comfort is.You are just delusionmaxxing to justify these expensive purchases to yourself.Somehow I can tell that you are not a "yacht and mansions" type of guy, so it was really expensive for you. That's why the cope is necessary.
>>18630795Kofeee
>>18630863A $3 quartz LED shitter with rubber strap. I find it quite hilarious. It is a comfortable wear. I just haven't been to a rave in about 20 years.
>>18630845I kinda like this. It probably has miyota 9000 inside and costs three times than it should, being assembled in us and all.
>>18630913Oh, nevermind. I knew the price would be idiotic, but this is idiotic and then some.
>>18630868NTA, but your post is 100% copium. Not even a richfag with a Rolex, just a lower middle class dude with Seikos and Citizens. I will say the luxury AD games are fucking stupid and that is pure flex in the age of interwebz shopping. >>18630914Hmm that or a new Tudor Ranger or used Explorer?
Raw Leeks.
Honestly, solar quartz is the chad's movement.Why? Because it is the most superior movement.You can get it in whatever type or style of watch you want.So the only reason for buying a mechanical watch is "I have autism".And then fags will have a debate about how much better or not expensive mechanicals are compared to more affordable options.Umm, hello? They all suck.Maybe the finishing is nice on some microscopic level that is only visible to experts, but so what?
>>18630925I don't respect the opinions of anyone who uses the term "chad". lol
>>18630928And I don't respect the opinions of incels, so I guess we are even.
>>18630931Nice try, but only incels would use the term or believe in any of that, so we're back on you, virgin.
>>18630933More projection. My son is sitting next to me.If you weren't a low IQ faggot you would know that "chad" is a popular meme used ironically, especially since it has incel origins.Understanding such things is beyond your autistic brain's capabilities. Go collect more mechanical watches and model trains LOL.
>>18630936>My sonis he a chad or an incel?
>>18630988He is only 2 months old now, so we don't know for sure.Hopefully he will be a chad.
the hedonic treadmill is so real and fucked up. i got my first rolex (a sub) in november, and i'm already dreaming about rolexes 4x the price
>>18630868How much time have you spent wearing an actual swiss luxury watch? Like, Omega and Rolex and above? And I don't mean trying one on sitting in a chair or standing at a counter at a jewelry store, I mean actually getting dressed and putting the watch on in the morning and spending the day wearing it through work and play and driving and getting lunch and the whole thing. If you haven't then, respectfully, you simply don't know what you're talking about.If you don't think the money is worth it for you to experience this then that's fine. I'm not even disagreeing with you, really, watch prices are ridiculous in the middle to high end and most people just do not care enough about watches to justify paying that. But like with anything there are diminishing returns, sometimes to make something 20% better it costs twice or three times as much to accomplish that.
>>18631210Just buy a Patrick at that point bro.
>>18631214i'm obsessed with picrel and the john mayer (gold band + bezel with green face)
>>18631210The biggest mistake you'll ever make in watchmaking is buying stepping stone pieces before buying what you actually want. A lot of people bought the Tudor Black Bay GMT, wore it for a few months, got the call for a Rolex GMT they actually wanted, now they lost time and money saddling up on a 15mm thick shitter they have no need or desire to wear anymore.
My fucking god. If even bittercel had the capacity to breed, anyone can do it.
Bought my first Rolex.AMA
New Kurono Tokyo drop next week.i'm not a meteroite guy but it looks nice
>>18631261what'd you get? post pics
>>18631269a tudor black bay 58
>>18631259Who do you think bittercell is?
>>18630550i think it's a reference to that Belgian comic "Mortadel et Filemon", but i don't know why anyone calls him that
>>18630678I've never gotten a better deal than on my PRX, 240€ for a lot of 10 watches that also included a couple of sapphire casios, a barbour and some other stuff. all nearly unused.inb4 " it's a fake PRX", there weren't fakes of the quartz at least at the time I bought it
>>18631259I am not bittercel. I am white.
Where is shitter donatello? I miss him.
>>18631293There was this Brazilian guy in late 2010s who convinced many /wt/ users (through sheer spam and determination) that a specific store in Tokyo, Japan sells cheap non-franken vintage watches and that he bought quite a few from there. He guided many users from here to that specific store (I think it's closed now, can't find it on c24 anymore) and well, after a while and many, MANY sold watches later, an experienced user opened the watch and found a different movement inside his vintage grand Seiko than what was supposed to be in. Other users later found out re-polished cases, different backs, wrong crystals etc. turns out this Brazilian guy, whuertantonio, was working there all along. Brazil has a big community in Japan so it makes sense. And obviously many users here are still mad about it.
>>18630035how can I steal his look bros?
>>18631312You’ll never be into anime enough to try. Don’t bother. Choose life.
>>18631312Checked with google lense>watch$15,000>Hat$400>Pants $1200>t-shirt $650>Jacket? Givenchy? So at least another $1000>Shoes?I guess 600-1000
>>18631282No, it was originally a reference to the sausage. It started as “Fat Mortadello”. The original poster misspelled the name of the sausage.Mort himself tried to retcon it into being about this obscure comic but no one believed him.
>>18631319Sure, you can spend the money, but that still won’t give you the aura of a single man in his 30s who is obsessed with children’s cartoons and thinks dressing in all black is edgy. That kind of vibe needs to be earned, not bought.
>>18631319That’s assuming no knockoffs.
>>18631319All that shit can be bought at Walmart sans the luxury watch. Trash clothing that high school students wear with charmed crocs.>>18631216That's really any item, but good advice. >>18630925The first "real" watch I bought with my money was a Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay Titanium back in 2002 because it bridged the gap between quartz and mechanical. Unfortunately, traded to my ex-wife's dad for a Beretta 92FS. I think I paid $500 new from Seiko. (Pic Related)>The Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay isan innovative analog quartz watch that converts wrist movement into electrical energy, storing it in a capacitor, much like an automatic mechanical watch, but with the accuracy of quartz.Its key feature is the "Auto Relay" function, allowing it to enter a power-saving sleep mode for up to four years, stopping the hands but keeping perfect time internally;upon movement, it instantly "relays" the correct time, eliminating manual setting
>>18631344>That's really any itemMost companies don't deliberately refuse to sell you something until you've bought something else. The only cases I can think of are a few particular luxury watch and luxury bag companies.
>>18631325>Knockoffs>Implying the clothes aren't knockoffs because it's terrible.Burning those pants and replacing them with a quality pair of light non-weathered blue jeans would instantly turn Anon from cringe to timeless classy casual.
>>18631325knockoff of a Moser?
>>18631352The Moser is probably not a knockoff since anon desperately tried to tell us how much he paid for it.* The rest of it is straight Canal St.*He’s also desperate to sell the Moser since he doesn’t like it and only bought it to impress /wt/. He never wears it because he’s terrified of scratching it.
space rock
>>18631345Oh yeah, that's why I refuse to ever buy from Rolex AD. I grew up visiting them when traveling in the 90s with family and there was always inventory on hand and some were legit in malls where any swinging dick could cash and carry most models.>Then you remember your rich uncle who loved watches and had a clock repair business carrying you all the time to the one an hour away in the city >Anon, which do you like? You always go watch shopping with me.>The green OP!>Maybe one day>Flash forward 7 years when senior in high school >Uncle's house burns down>In Euroland when it happened >Gets back and takes me aside>Anon, I have good and bad news.>A couple years ago I bought you a 34mm green OP because I got a great deal and for you graduating high school >The bad news is it was in the house and gone.>Good news here is $2000 instead because I literally only have my Air King (that he wore daily) until I get the house rebuilt.>And yes, he absolutely hated Omegas like most Rollies.I cope to this day by telling myself that 34mm is just too small because 38mm is my ideal case size.
>>18631361they're cool materials and nicely colorful, but imo the pattern and color of the timascus bezel clashes with the meteorite somewhat
>>18631373Did he have anything in particular he didn't like about Omega?Gentlemen in your grandpa's day wore 31mm OPs, pic related.
going to japan soon. watches to get there?
>>18631533Credor
The SIGNO GCAR965A dressy leather strap model that combines classic and modern The thin case, which is less than 7 mm thick, is equipped with a high-precision quartz movement with a difference of ± 10 seconds per year. It is thin and fits well in the cuffs of shirts, and is a gorgeous design that is easy to match with suit styles. It is a royal dress watch with a beautiful milky white dial with nuances like porcelain. The crest mark on the dial and the design of the three Roman numerals give it just the right amount of personality. The simple and light case with a spacious cutout and narrow feet makes it a clean and timeless watch.
>>18631447Mostly brand loyalty, but also he was adamant about how a Rolex will get you out of bad situations, especially when traveling. He also wore a spare gold wedding band when traveling for the same reason. He had experience doing Cold War stuff across the globe as a younger man.Also loved Seiko autos because he had jewelry connections since he did clock repair and it they apparently always took a lot of abuse that would brick most other wristwatches.

Watch shit really slowed down the last couple days. What happened? People packed up and went home? They just fucking fell OUT of love with watches? Teach me how.
All of 4chan seems kind of dead. I'm glad so many people are out doing shit on a Saturday night.
>>18629480>If you were really even paying attention you'd see that sadly I am buying more and more expensive ones. I've now dropped $350 on one.Anon, you could have skipped all the cheap watches and gone straight for the good one. We don't want you to buy expensive watches, we want you to buy good watches. There is a difference. You're doing just fine btw. I've seen worse.
>>18629480>Tell me how much minimum one needs to spend for an accurate watch.You're missing the point again. About $15 is the answer, the cost of a Casio F-91w. the point is that none of those shitters is as accurate as the Casio.
>>18629530It's cool, Group B is nice. That field watch could use a nice brown strap if you ask me.
>>18629779You can get basically the same Seiko for a quarter of the price.
>>18629896Get a green Oceanus or a Seiko SBTM319 or a black SBTM341. Very nicely finished and you will get the most watch for the least amount of money.
>>18629927Cool, at least it's a proper chrono, without the stupid 24-hour subdial.>>18629960Look around the Selection line, there are plenty similar or better looking watches in there.
>>18630136A classic but perhaps a bit thick?
>>18630154Seiko Vanac vibes.
>>18630243Some time ago a lawyer posted his eclectic collection here. Some pictures were wristshots, and he was slightly overweight, as a man who eats well usually is. Some bitter anon started to call him Mortadello after a known Italian delicacy. Since then every new anon becomes a variant of that name.
>>18631597>>18631598A lot of them are good watches. I have them all here with me and I love them. They're all quite accurate for my needs. The actual shitters are piled in a cardboard box emitting a cacophony of ticks. I have at least 20 very good watches with no problems at all. Only using that highfalutin logic that $500 and up type watches are truly good can anyone dismiss my collection. Some of my favorites that I wear the most are in the $30 to $50 range. And they keep good time. I enjoy winding them. And I enjoy not winding the quartz. They all look good to me. They all fit well on me. I only have a couple of minor regrets in the bunch. And I still have 5 more good ones coming including another Seiko and a Citizen. The excitement never ends. I couldn't be happier. In a few months I might try a $500 watch, but I don't think I'll be comfortable up in that price range, collecting wise, and I really don't at this point appreciate the "finer" watches more than the ones I have. I like the romance of simple $40 watches that are worn everywhere for years. If anything I have too many watches to zero in and have that experience with any particular one. I love them all too much. I'm changing them all the time because I want to wear them all. And I still have all kinds of straps to try on them. The fun is just beginning. And I think somewhere in the attic I've got an old wall clock with the heavy weights on the chains. I might dig that out and see how it works. In the end we all like different stuff.
>>18631608>Mortadello after a known Italian delicacy.Perhaps it had something to do with a cartoon with a similar name as well, i'm not entirely sure.
>>18631588mmm grayons
>>18630440Nice kot.
>>18631609>Some of my favorites that I wear the mostWhat do you mean anon? You've had them for two weeks. This is either ridiculous or a speedrun.
what are you guys wearing today? I went with the SLGA009 also known as the white birch. It snowed today so it seemed like a nice fit.
>>18631631It's a ridiculous speedrun. I've had some almost a month now. And I'm not new to buying and owning things. I know when the shine is going to wear off and when I'm into something for the long haul. I'm always wearing one and I change them a lot and therefore there are some that I am wearing more than others. Why would this mean any less because it's happening on a more immediate timeline? I'm absolutely thrilled with at least ten of them. Of those, five or six are my favorites. I'm not even comfortable narrowing them down, so great is my appreciation for all of my shitters. As far as satisfaction for the money I feel I've gotten even more than I've paid for.
>>18631630You come to 4chan to be a redditor. Why?
>>18631661>be a redditorI can't even compliment anon's cat? Why are you bitter?
>>18630852Purely a design choice. Someone thought it looked good, and someone else then said "Yes, make it." and that's about it.
>>18631533Weekdater.
>>18631533Why does every homo from this board go to Japan?That's quite a specific place.
>>18629462mines 9 years old worn as a field watch for refinery work+you can pour chemicals on it, abuse it, forget to give it sun and it stays working+it syncs time AND is solar, making it better than other gshocks-the barometer and altimeter do fuck all, its big and heavy, straps last 2-3 years -expensive, comes in 50 colors that are even more expensive. if you want a blue green or white one they're like a grandoverall I wear my army green g7900 more.
>>18631588You're fresh off of an Andrew Morgan video. >Day-Date Display:A single window showing both day and date.There's your mistake. Neat dial otherwise, could almost be called a tuxedo dial. I don't like the painted orange lume border though.
>>18631686>the painted orange lume borderOr piss yellow or whatever shade that is. They did it on the Alpinist Light as well.
>>18631688It's a trick that makes the lume pop a bit more, they paint the borders with a different color. You don't even notice it from afar, but up close it looks really nasty if you ask me.
It's neatly done and all, but it's trying a bit too hard.
Look at this, ugh... Ruins the watch.
This looks much better, if only it was made in titanium...
>>18631679>Mom, I posted it again!
>>18631681I think it's because a lot of people are here for the old "Japanese Culture" aspect of it. The anime and the... anime. I'm sure it branches out from there. They buy the stupid little jars of mayonnaise and shrimp crackers and other stuff which may have cute little anime characters all over it. And then of course Japan has a history of watch production. Just visually it seems like a more techy Las Vegas; a cool looking sparkly tourist area. But I'm probably thinking of just city pictures I've seen. Then again, it's not very large outside of them, all those tiny rooms you read about over the years. I wouldn't mind checking out Japan if I were traveling, but it's not even in my top five of desirable destinations.
>>18631708It's a nice watch worth considering. I will keep recommending it to anons.
>>18631712You do it like OCD or like a tradition though. You never fucking fail to do it. In every thread or whenever watches are brought up. Has this stubborn, persistent, immature bullshit been going on for years? Is that your little job here? To autistically push your watch you like?
>>18631713He wants it to become its own meme for the thread where people recommend the weekdater because it's the funny thing to recommend.Except he's the only one pushing the inside joke and nobody finds it funny. Instead it just makes him one of too many annoying posters in the thread.
>ordered Alpinist on the 1st>seller didn’t drop it off at the post office until the 8th
>>18631722The Weekdater unironically is a wonderful watch though. Maybe even the best watch under 1k.
>>18631319seriously? How do you guys have so much money?>>18631724>Casually orders a 1000$ watchWtf is going on?
>>18631726No one but you likes it that much and you are not pushing this forced meme.You've been trying for months and it still isn't working.If you're too poor to afford anything interesting without reaching into forgotten parts of Seiko's catalog (which you are) then that's too bad but you are not convincing anyone else.Do us all a favor. Go be broke somewhere else, shut the fuck up and leave us all alone.
>>18631728Shop around. Sometimes you get lucky but you just have to wait a bit for shipping.
>>18631736It was cute the first ten times I saw it but it's getting old. But why are you giving him shit for being "broke"? The whole thing where you pretend watches at that price are cheap gets pretty old too.For many of us the casual mention of "just get a Weekdater" would sooner be offensive because it's too costly and not the other way around. "Just get a..." works with Casio and Timex.
>>18631728>seriously? How do you guys have so much money?When you're single, not dating, don't have kids. It's not that difficult to splurge on something expensive once in a while. Which is kinda ironic since they buy these expensive designer brands to attract girls so it's a vicious circle i guess
>>18631728>Casually orders a 1000$ watchI got it for $700. It’s something that I wanted for a while. Also, like the other poster said, I’m single and not dating. Having a full time job helps too.
>>18631747>Hi, Anon! Is that a Seiko Alpinist you have there? You know I don't have a boyfriend."lol, dream on.
>>18631681it's not even 4chan weirdos every single normie has been to Japan or is planning to go very soon ever since the country reopened after covidIt's exotic, has tons of places to visit, very very safe and not expensive so it's like catnip for normiesAnd anime blew up on netflix around the same time so normies are rediscovering that also which is probably contributing
>>18631736That wasn't me btw.>pushingI'm not 'pushing' it, i just recommend it whenever it fits the criteria that anons post. I'm not suggesting it to anons that are looking for a diver or a chrono, am i?
>>18631814Yes it was.
/fa/ approved brands in the $1k to $2k range?
>>18631821
>>186318231. Seiko2. ?
>>18631823Hamilton, Zodiac, Alpina, the list could go on...
>>18631823Just get a really well-preserved Weekdater.
When ever I wear a watch all day for some days, I get something like folliculitis and little pimples in the area where the case back is touching the skin.Taking the watch off at night didn't prove to be enough to combat this issue.As far as I understand, this does not appear to be a nickel allergy, since it doesn't behave like one and steel bracelets don't cause me any irritation.Do any of you have experience with something like this, or ideas how to combat it?I don't want to just quit watches, or wear them only when I go outside, or something along those lines. I hope it won't come to that.
>>18631874could be ligma
>>18631879Bro, I am not 150 years old to not know this joke. Come on now.
>>18631870He can get a 62GS for that money.
>>18631884>doesn't even have the full day spelled out>grandMan, how could they fuck this up?
Been wanting this forever and finally splurged.
>>18631903Literally don't need anything else. Personally I'd put it on a quality black leather strap.
>>18630291As a luxury wearer, here is what i see:Baltic>subpar finishing on the surfaces, looks cheap overall>Thick for what it is, maybe because of the domed crystal that looks like acrylic>MiyotaChristopher Ward>branding all over the place, unemployement agency logo + trident (HR lady living on a boat?)>the rubber strap is very Aliexpress>Sellita SW200 COSC?The CW is the better watch of the two.
>>18630297>$1,200-$1,500I'd get a vintage Omega Seamaster 300 for this price.
>>18631776>Normies love animeThis will never be true. I know you pedo weebs want it to be SO bad. But no.
>>18631870FUCK OFF

>>1863189562MAWK > 62GS
>>18631903>Omega AirKingNeat.
>>18631932Sperg. That wasn't even me. I was just about to post another nice Weekdater pic, but i'll spare you so you don't get too riled up and are thus able get better sleep.
Kofé time.
>>18631588>>18631688The new ones with white lume and white day and date wheels are so much better. There's even a green one.
>>18631947That is officially the dirtiest kofecup I've ever seen.
>>18631948Those blue and gold are ugly. Why spend $150 on those when they're made of shit components?Oh yeah, because "Seiko" means something. LOLYou could get a superior shitter auto and a decent quartz for that price. But you won't because you're a brand dickrider.
>>18631954What would you get that is superior with the same features?
>>18631955We already did this in the last thread. I'm not going to do the homework for you because you wouldn't buy it. You just want to argue about it. And you'd lose. That Seiko has garbage parts for the price. Just go to a chinese site and find any watch that looks like that and it'll be better.
>>18631958I have no idea what you're talking about, but whatever, keep crying.
>>18631931https://www.koimoi.com/television/netflix-anime-viewership-triples-in-5-years-now-watched-by-over-150-million-households-worldwide/not a fan of hearing guys old enough to have teenage kids talk about shonenshit at work but that's how it is
>>18631903>>18631918Never understood the appeal of Omega. They don't seem nice enough to justify the pricing tier they sit in. Almost as compelling as Breitling.
>>18631955Seiko Selection is full of very good watches, and then there is of course the most obvious answer that everyone already knows and I'm not going to repeat it.
>>18631980>They don't seem nice enough to justify the pricing tier they sit in.Don't worry, they're in the process of making their prices even higher.
I've been introducing my friend to watches and it's fascinating to see somebody completely fresh to it somehow fall for all the extremely popular picks in the broader hobby. The guy has picked out the PRX, Alpinist, Duro, SARB033, Khaki Field, G-Shock, BB58, and Speedtimer just from the stuff I've shown him as watches he wants to work towards. It's kind of funny.
>>18631903Kofe time
>>18631947Abunai!
WE NEED A NEW THREAD
>>18632017Make it Weekdater edition to piss that one guy off. Always gotta make at least one guy mad.
>>18632023there's this guy who's always on standby and it's kinda funny. He's been on standby since 2023 getting triggered by posts.
>>18632002He just naturally gravitated to them? For me it's the opposite. I see the Rolex diver for the first time and just think, "That's it? That's what all the fuss is about?">dude, that's because you've seen them around because everyone ripped them offBut they still don't look cool to me and never did. I just have more vintage taste I guess. Classic simple designs with out a bunch of extra doohickeys that look useful but I'm never going to use. Khaki Field is the exception there. Just a nice clean watch. Everything else I just don't get the popularity. I'm certain it's more about wanting it because it's the thing to have. Just through looking around and cultural osmosis your friend was probably familiar with those ones. It's not like he picked them out of a lineup of 1,000 unique and varying watches. They say we instinctively measure everything up, glancing peripherally and subconsciously noting the comment with the most likes and attributing more importance to it. Or maybe I have it backwards and it's the peoples' lowest common denominator tastes driving the designs.
>>18632031I'm sure he feels the same way with weekdater guy being on standby to draw first blood. It's the same with anything like that. I witness it with people spiteposting anime on hobby boards. Threads are destroyed by two groups being equally petty and insisting they're justified in doing what they're doing. Meanwhile the topic is lost beneath it. There's something inside weekdate guy and his counterparts in other fields that just won't allow one to go by without them making their mark on it. Total OCD thing. Yes, I'm aware of what website I'm on. I'm just that voice of reason from the real world reminding myself and the rest of you that it's not normal.
What watches pull asian women
>>18632101The most interesting thing you wrote was>insisting they're justified in doing what they're doing. And I fully agree. It's something that I don't understand. Can we grow up? It's not fun anymore. And that passive aggressiveness is really something else. I don't think he's like that irl, he just comes here to let off some steam? But he ends up making it worse for himself. It's that addiction that we have to expose ourselves to things that make us angry for that dopamine boost.About the weekdater guy, I'm not familiar in detail but what exactly does he do except post weekdaters and tell everyone to get one?
>>18632105I'm not one of these lifers either. I'm not sure if it goes beyond that. But even if that's it, I can see it getting annoying when not a single thread goes by without it popping up. Nothing to spaz over, but I know these communities take their boards seriously. Like having a neighbor you don't get along with probably. >Dammit, he's doing it again! Every time!
>>18631998I don't believe anyone knows what you're talking about. There's more than you and the 2 avatarfags posting here, dude.
>>18632103As someone who is married to an asian woman and deals with all her asian family and friends I can tell you with confidence the only two answers are Rolex and Casio. They like casio for being rich in features while also being ridiculously cheap(they absolutely live for good deals) and Rolex is the only watch brand they recognize as being any good for showing status. Once in a while the ones that are actually into watches are into Swatch and its corporate umbrella, but they are rare and typically look like bull dykes.My wife's mother hearing that I bought a watch for our wedding was disappointed hearing that it wasn't a Rolex, but her disappointment only relented in hearing that it was solid gold. I at least had the good sense to buy gold.
>>18631907I like the cut of your jib>>18631688It's orange. I like it because it's visible from any angle. >>18631948Acktually, I had that blue one, but it was so terribly regulated out the box, I returned it. The dial was beautiful though (and have seen the green in person)>>18631954>Seiko 5 is shit lol>Been on market for 60 years>B...but Seiko sucks >Only vertically integrated company along with Rolex>not worth the price>Poorfag copeSorry your Mom got gangbanged at the Seiko corporate party.
>>18631682I've gotten good use out of the Altimeter and the thermometer, though it should be set/calibrated before use your local readings. bit disappointed to hear that about the wristband as I'm particularly found of it
>>18632183Even the watch repairmen here will tell you the Seikos are not worth the price and contain inferior parts. No sapphire under $600. Ditto hacking.>it was terribly regulated out of the box so I returned it.You're kind of contradicting yourself. So it's an emotional response with you. I'm not a poorfag and I own a couple of Seikos. I just don't think the sub-$200 Seiko 5s are worth the money for what you get at all. I also had to send one of the cheaper ones back that was busted yet sold "new". They didn't even apologize, just refunded my money as if it happens all the time. You need to work on your argument. What's longevity when their new watches commonly fail to satisfy? Why should I GAF about 'vertical integration' when a better watch is a better watch? My mom couldn't even feel those Seiko executives' little rice dicks. She had a good raff.
>>18632002It shows that there is something about those watches that is JUST RIGHT that makes them the quintessential watch in their category.
