Guys, remember like a long ass time ago I was posting on vacation my armani watch next to a boat on land in Portugal on vacation and I was saying that I regret getting married but did not have the balls to get out of it?Well yesterday evening she said she "thinks she doesn't want children with me anymore and wants to divorce" because I flamed her in the morning for being disorganized and misplacing a table cloth. I said, well then in that case it's easy to get what you want. She confirmed it was just caused by the one incident and had not been on her mind for longer, which is odd, but potentially a lie. If true that means she is an outrageous person, as women often are, throwing away a marriage over getting flamed once for good reasons.Big if true. I am very excited that this could be my golden ticket to freedom. How can I make her follow through?
>Armani Chad just casually threadsplitting and blogposting about his potential divorceIf this isn't based I don't know what is.
>>18675491This post is very flattering, thank you friend.
Translated the exact flames I sent her on signal yesterday morning when she was at work>house of junk, everything must become one with the junk>verily>better set the house on fire and save time>I neatly folded a new table cloth and put it a crib, but you carelessly mangled it, stuffing it into a bag along with your junk>Why?To which she replied >whoa>sorry>today I will take everything to my house no worries>you are rightTo which I replied>Or you could just like normal people store clothes in a wardrobe, despite many efforts on my end, such as labeling shelves for you, nothing helpsTo which she replied>you don't need to burn down your house for a person who is not normal. I am not a pig I am just lazy to tidy upFucking what. I find it amazing she comes home after that declaring divorce, self admitted solely on the basis of the above exchange! And by the way she didn't remove any junk as she claimed she would do.Sooo what are the odds I am in the clear here and freedom is on the horizon?
Notice how women never answer a question when they are held accountable, rather they aim to redirect and guilt trip.Notice how she did not answer why she mangled my new table cloth inside a bag of of her old clothes, but reacted with "I am taking my stuff out of your house!"And when suggested to behave like a normal person they mirror the label to guilt trip "for a person who is not normal"I just realized this analyzing the responses. Women are truly masters at never answering a direct question when held accountable
Probably she forgot or never understood that I regret marriage even though I told her that I do. And she thinks divorce is a threat to wield power over me but it's the opposite. I will now stop talking to her and hope she will just go away. Or maybe flame her more frequently so that she becomes impulsive and leaves
>>18675478>don't you buy more of what makes you happy tho?I do but it ends up making you unhappy as it reveals the problems you never knew were there
>>18675489>>18675497>>18675500>>18675505You are aware that you don't need for her to be the one to initiate the divorce right? All it takes is you. I don't understand why you're playing this angle, maybe you want to appear not at fault or something, but just know this the fault will be placed on you no matter that case.In short, you take the dirvoce -> "Bad heartless man left me, he's so cruel". She starts it -> "He's such a loser lol".
>>18675508>maybe you want to appear not at fault or something,Yes, this is the thing
>>18675508>just know this the fault will be placed on you no matter that case.Good point let me think about this
I remember now. I feel guilty about wanting to divorce just because I don't like being married and I shouldn't have in the first place knowing what I know marriage is to be like now but did not know this before experiencing it.So naturally I feel a lot of inner conflict and guilt I she is happy and I just want to rugpull the entire thing from under her.So that could explain why I semi regularly go off on massive tantrums about her doing things incorrectly, possibly subconsciously hoping for her to also want to divorce
I think in most cases one of two people initiates divorce but both were unhappy in the marriage. In my case she is happy in the marriage but I am not. Mainly because of my OCD being triggered and the enormous responsibility. But other than that she is not misbehaving majorly. This is why I think my situation is quite uncommon
Why do both of the new watch threads totally blow? WATCHES, not old times on the board with people long gone, not marital issues. Watches.

>>18675517Why are you mad at my atomic timepiece phaggot
Is there any luxury mechanical watch brand that has implemented some sort of automatic correction mechanism, so the watch is corrected daily?
>>18675522Corrected how? By the sun in the sky?I don't think it's possible for a fully mechanical watch to "correct" itself. Unless you mean some fucking bluetooth hybrid type thing, which really means it'd no longer be a luxury mechanical at all.But they do amazing things. You'd probably have to somehow have two clocks, and one would check the other one. But then why not just make them both the same accuracy? What we're discussing doesn't even make sense the way I'm thinking about it. How would it? A mechanical watch can keep track of a lot of things at those half million dollar prices, but once it loses the time you have to fix that yourself.

The worst thing about watches is that the only growth right now is in luxury market. And that doesn't make sense because there are fewer rich people with more money. Everyone in here is in the 99%, and yet they want to have the 1%er watches. It's not rich people buying luxury watches as much as they're profiting when poor people go into debt to have something they can't afford. And all of you are contributing to that when you gush over watches you'll never even fucking touch.Against your own best interests... like with everything else. All your other misplaced allegiances. Everyone wants to be something they're not. Acting like they already are.

Another great fuckup from Omega.>Holy shit! They brought back the Piepan Dogleg Constellation!!!>wait…why does it say Observatory on the dial?>where’s the seconds hand?>why is it 39x47x12mm?>why does it only have 30m WR?Seriously, Omega. What the FUCK were you thinking?!
>>18675653Everything about it is fine except for the Au750 marking. That's so trashy.
>>18675673A tiny company like fucking Nomos can make a time-only automatic watch with 200m WR be 9mm thick.Giant Omega can manage 30m WR from 12mm thickness.They’re literally not trying at all. That makes the pricing even more obscene.The gold on a gold bracelet costs $59k. On a strap, it’s $38k. Even the steel version is $11k!I mean, forget about trying to match Rolex’s prices, now Omega is, what, trying to compete with Patek?! It’s fucking insane.
>>18675691Even within the Swatch group the prices make no sense. That’s more expensive than much better, hand-finished watches by GO, Blancpain, or Breguet.
>>18675653what part of it is the dogleg?
>>18675691Yeah I remember when I tried on the globemaster and was shocked to see it was thicker than my arm.>>18675694Breguet and Blancpain are a constant reminder that the watch "hobby" has nothing to do with seeking out quality. It's just about grifters hyping up THIS WATCH WAS DESIGNED BY GERALD GENTA DID YOU KNOW HE HATES WATCHES?
So, back to Venetian Jews. Pic related is Venezianico Redentore 36.I wanted an elegant, bright dress watch with sunburst effect and it meets the requirements.The two tone color of the bracelet and case really sells it. The steel is so polished, rounded and smooth it feels like a jewelry piece.I hate integrated bracelets because of the effort required to get the right fit, but luckily I had no problems with this one.Interesting thing: there's not a single word on the website that Redentore watches are for women, but resellers push them into this category anyway.
>>18675695The style of lug is called dogleg.
>>18675698>the watch "hobby" has nothing to do with seeking out qualityIs this where you bring up how accurate your Casio is, or something?
>>18675710No such luck with the bracelet of Arsenale Bizantino though. Of course, it doesn't fit properly and there are no microadjustments on the clasp. I'm going to ask the Venetian Jews if they can sell me half- links for it. They have no half- links for this type of bracelet in their shop but fuck, I'm willing to pay some extra money if they can organize something. I will get mad if I can't get such a shitty small detail right.Because this is THE watch. For a bumpkin sitting next to you during a meeting it's going to look like something really expensive. At the same time it's durable and cheap enough to be used as an everyday fashion watch.
>>18675713>implying Bittercel owns even a CasioHe’s just here to make us all as miserable as he is.
>>18675713Rehaut alignment.Polishing.Seconds per day.Overcoil hairsprings.These are things that would interest you if you weren't a goytube watcher.
>>18675710Venezianico Nereide Aquaforte. I hate diving watches and I never though I would buy one, but here we are. This is a genuine anomaly I wanted to take a close look at, try it on, maybe send it back.In theory it IS still a diving watch, but I can only imagine how poorly it would perform without high contrast colors and a shitload of lume.I guess they used a diving watch as a base because it's easier to engrave and ink than a much smaller and thinner Arsenale.So far it looks Venezianico decided to sacrifice functionality for aesthetics. Instead of applying super-luminova to hands and indices like everywhere else, they used some kind of black lume. If it has drastically shorter glow time than a regular one, it's going to be a bad deal. I'm going to test it.If the lume was good, it would make a perfect everyday fancy watch with rugged aesthetics.
>>18675605Today I had the The Citizen on my wrist.
>>18675722What do a couple of terms you just learned have to do with Breguet or Blancpain?>overcoilFuck, you’re too fucking stupid to know about the BREGUET OVERCOIL.You’re a moron, Bittercel. Go back to obsessing over Reverso Anon and how he fucking castrated you for the whole thread to see.
>>18675710The brand seems to aim at a very specific niche I would call either non- expensive luxury watches or quality fashion watches. Seems they're doing it well. But then there are prices. Their Miyota 9039 packed in a steel case with a sapphire crystal and metal bracelet is about 30% more expensive than competition with the same specs. They put some resources in design and materials, but come on. Bracelets without micro adjustments, pay 30 euros for a 1 half link if you have a non- standard wrist, we are glad to help, dear customer.You might say they really do some small scale live reenactment of Venetian happy merchants, who once outperformed Jews in business practices.
>>18675653I was so excited to see they were bringing back golden age watches THAT THEY NEVER SHOULD HAVE STOPPED MAKING IN THE FIRST PLACE, but I can't believe they made them oversized shitters.It's otherwise a perfect line. It's in steel and multiple precious metals, a beloved design everyone was asking for... Maybe it could have actually been the classic gradual sloping pie pan or octagonal shape pie pan instead of steps going down off the edge, but I think I can excuse that. Maybe offering models with a date would have been nice, but I can excuse that. But making it just another 40mm shitter in their long list of 40mm shitters is such a letdown. And even more baffling because they just did the gold 37mm milano cortina seamaster that's an absolutely perfect watch, why didn't they just use that case?Really kind of mind blowing.
>>18675734>Their Miyota 9039 packed in a steel case with a sapphire crystal and metal bracelet is about 30% more expensive than competition with the same specs. They put some resources in design and materials, but come on.Design doesn’t count for anything? A designer gets paid too. Steeldive is able to charge less because they don’t employ a designer, they just copy existing designs.I would love to see one of these companies put out the most high-spec watch they can: all the best materials, as thin as possible, get their Miyotas running as accurately as possible, but then make it as ugly as possible. So that way, the “only specs matter” crowd has to put up or shut up. (It’s just a saying. It’s the internet, we know they’ll never shut up.)
>>18675735> Maybe it could have actually been the classic gradual sloping pie pan or octagonal shape pie pan instead of steps going down off the edge, but I think I can excuse thatThe ridged pie-pan is a design they used in the past. I’m not upset by it.The Connie is supposed to be an everyday watch, though. Why not even the option of a date or seconds hand? Why doesn’t the steel version come on a bracelet? Why does it have the water resistance of a Cartier Tank? Why does it cost so fucking much? Why is it oversized?I don’t get what Omega is doing. I really don’t.
>>18675735>>18675739Omega needs to completely scrap and redo the entire lineup.>SeamasterScrap the Aqua Terra. Combine the Seamaster Diver and Planet Ocean into one line modeled after the Seamaster 300 from the 60s. Offer multiple colors, sizes and strap options.>DeVilleKill it entirely >SpeedmasterCan the million different limited editions and streamline the lineup. Develop an automatic chronograph movement that isn’t two inches thick or requires a 50mm case.>ConstellationThis should be your bestseller. Offer 28mm, 33mm, 37mm and 41mm cases. Date and no-date options. Lots of materials, colors and strap options. 100m WR on all of them.Take advantage of the streamlined catalog to lower prices since the margins will improve.
>>18675739At least if they were the right case size you could see where they're coming from. Like yeah, it's a classic dress watch now. But that's not what it is.The only thing I can figure is they wanted more room to show off their fancy exhibition case back rotors because the precious metal ones have precious metal rotors and that's apparently a first for the brand? But I'd just as soon say fuck the rotors and put solid case backs on all of them.
>>18675746Yeah, fuck a display back. If it’s gonna be open, then there better be some Geneva Seal-level finishing back there, not something that is 100% machine made.
what is the best g shock
>>18675753They all suck
>>18675753MRG
>>18675735Bro wtf is O-Megasteel? When the fuck did they come up with that? Do they always call their steel that? I've never seen or heard this before and I'm getting the biggest fucking ick from this cringe.
>>18675744I disagree about scrapping the aqua terra, it's actually a good competition to the datejust. making it a bit thinner and IMPROVING THE FUCKING BRACELET is really all they need to do
>>18675735I think they're going for the 'if i paid for it at least i want it to be seen' buyers. And they can charge more for more gold.
>>18675798>O-MegasteelKEK, like they're living in a cartoon.
>>18675799They do definitely need to refine the collections though. It's maybe not as bad as it has been historically when they would LITERALLY put any random movement in any random case and call it a seamaster(There's a seamaster chronograph that is just a 321 speedmaster movement with a white dial in a gold case for example) but there's still a seamaster 300m, seamaster aquaterra, seamaster milano cortina, seamaster planet ocean, seamaster this and seamaster that. It's a little crazy. And you have the railmaster that is just a seamaster aquaterra with different dials and no date movements. Even more confusing. And now there are like 4 completely different watches you could be talking about when you talk about the current constellations.
shutters.
This appears to be the kissass, snob wannabe thread. Where watches you faggots will never even see in person are pored over and compared like you're fans of sports teams.>No, the Omega is TOTAL SHIT NOW>Fuck you! It is not! It's worth the money!

It might be a coincidence, but in recent times I saw 2 guys with big watches that had nice finishing.I haven't been able to identify the watches.Anyway, both times the guys gave me a tryhard vibe. I just didn't think they were cool.Can you bros relate?What kinds of watches have a high chance of looking tryhard regardless of brand?
>>18675691What nomos has 200m water resistance at 9mm thick?
>>18675673FUCK, I didn't even notice the dial has a gold stamp on it. That's so fucking dumb.The platinum one has PT on it and the black one has a ceramic dial so they put the ceramic chemical formula on the dial like they do on the seamaster 300m.It's really like they have to give every watch flaws on purpose now.

While waiting for spring bars to arrive to fix my Ana Digi Temp I accidentally washed/dried last week I decided to browse the site where I bought it from in 2023 (Japan-Select) to see if anything cool.Turns out Citizen did a reproduction of the different style of Ana-Digi Temp where the temperature sensor is built into the watchface instead of on the outside of the case, which I always thought looked a lot cleaner.Fucking shame I can't see anywhere to buy a new version of the gold one, though. I don't know if I'm willing to play chinese bootleg roulette on ebay, and even then almost everything on there is in used condition.

anon from the other thread here finally got my explorer brehs. it’s perfect in every way. how do you guys store your watches when you leave home wearing another one? do you have a safe or something?also I don’t think I’ll ever feel comfy leaving this thing in the car. or anywhere for that matter.
>>18675883>>18676042I hate straight end mesh bracelets with a passion, I've spent thousands and you still couldn't make the bracelet look like it's made for the watch?
>>18676092poorlex.
>>18676092When i go on a trip, i just wear my Rolex. Simple as.I've worn my Explorer on my trip to Japan this year. If it's a place with robberies, is it worth going on a trip there?In summer, i wear my IWC on rubber, so during that time i hide the Rolex (i don't want to say where, but a few options: inside safe, a toilet tank, a pepper shaker, a box of proteins/vitamins, inside a wall, inside a plant, inside flooring, inside a dead animal, inside a living animal, somone else's rectum...).
>>18676082>Then it's replicasAre you somehow using this as a non-synonym for fake?
>>18676100To me, a fake can be either a replica or a cope.ie San Martin makes cope watches, they are fake but the logo is San Martin.Hont makes replicas, with the Rolex/Omega logo.
Is that explorer real? The sides look so flat, like they're milled on a 2-axis CNC.
>>18676106Maybe the 39mm?

>>18675865>What nomos has 200m water resistance at 9mm thick?The Ahoi and one of the Club models
>>18676159The ahoi is 10mm. It's listed as 9.8. There are microbrand dive watches offering 200m at 10mm thick, it's really not THAT impressive.The 34mm clubs are saying they're 200m at 8.2mm thick though, and it's still automatic. That's actually pretty surprising. I wonder if it's notably less robust than movements in sports watches usually are.btw>Hire a male and a female to model watches>they have the same identical wrist sizeAren't the Germans supposed to be smart?
>>18676165Also is the Ahoi actually the best automatic watch in the catalog? I'm looking around and it's the only automatic watch I see with a date that's under 40mm diameter.
>haven't serviced my automatic watch for 10+ years>still runs within +/- 30is watch servicing a scam?
>>18676176Watches go and go and go until they suddenly don't. It can all of a sudden just crash out and because you weren't keeping up with it the bill to try to get it back in order will be double or triple the amount.Of course that could be any time between 10 and 40 years with no real telling when.
Why does every youtuber shill Hanhart now?Their bezels look like shit, their logo is shit, they evoke nothing, i don't get it. They must give big money to influencers because i've never seen someone say that they were fans of Hanart in real life.

>>18676093At the momment that bracelet is the only option with the black dial blue bezel. They do have them with a regular bracelet, for like $200 less I think.
>>18676200I like this watch on leather better than on bracelet but I still wish they could get it under 40mm diameter.
I'm taking a break from bittermaxxing.What's your favourite Rolex?For my it's definitely the Yacht Master. It's Rolex for other Rolexes, like regular Rolex is for other watches.

>>18676207Have you handled one? The bezels aren't good.
>>18676200Why did you put it on a ham?
A good watch collection is not about the watches you have, it's about the watches you chose not to have.Wearing black? Need a black watch? Don't have one. Nope, no black watch. Need a shitter for your day off. No, no shitter.This is what it's really about, choices, edge, radicality.
>>18676277Only Tudor (not the blue one obviously) looks good out of all of these (and the boring Speedo and you have the wrong VC for it to look good too). IWC should be Spitfire or any other normal looking one that doesn't have a shit date window. Other than that meh and bleh.

The more I think about it the more retarded the new Constellation seems. They're bragging it's METAS, which makes sense since the whole point of the constellation line is that they're using super accurate observatory trials level watch movements..... They watches don't have seconds hands. If you aren't putting it on a timegrapher, how would you even know it was off?
>>18675753i've been wanting to get the red one to match with Kanamori from Eizouken
>>18676307Damn, you're just better than everyone aren't you?
>>18676332>If you aren't putting it on a timegrapher, how would you even know it was off?You check when the minute changes? I agree it's a dumb design, though.
>>18676394Yeah pretty much.

>>18676503Do you mean the top of your wrist is broad and flat? About how big around is your wrist, is it like 7 inches or 7.5 inches?I'm in the same situation, big flat wrist. I try to get watches that are as thin as possible and/or the case back sinks into the back of your wrist so it lays flat and tight to the wrist. Rolex datejust or submariner type cases do this well, the hamilton khakis do this well. Things like that lay flat and look natural. And you can probably get away with wearing watches with big lug to lug measurements, but you don't have to just because you can. Regular straps and bracelet are going to be your best band options, double pass nato type straps are going to make the watch stick up too high off of your wrist.

Do casios and gshocks generally use all the same few batteries or do they fuck around a lot with different battery sizes?
>>18676467New strapy time
>>18676648Oh my god that looks so fucking good!
>>18676648blue dial doesn't work well with straps, otherwise nice watch
>>18676648Nice watch
>>18676648It's a strap monster!
>>18676424You guys are all text, no image. It's easy to shit on everything when you refuse to reveal what you actually wear. Faggot.
>>18676686I'm poor, I can't afford a watch collection.
>>18676558No, I won't be getting a ten thousand dollar rolex, but thanks. lol
>>18676611Yeah?? Which of the new watches he talks about are you going to be buying?
>>18676651I found the bracelet acceptable, but I wanted to try changing things up a bit.
>>18676693Yes, you already posted it and got your kissass compliments. Was that not enough?Can we maybe get some more angles? I really haven't seen enough Grand Seikos on this board.
>>18676708>I really haven't seen enough Grand Seikos on this board.Agreed, we need more.
>>18676715Unfortunately for you, most people here with the money to afford one have better taste and would buy something else for that money or multiple less expensive watches. Does the second hand hit all the minute markers perfectly? I've seen some which don't. Personally, the 'Olde English' font they use is a dealbreaker for me. Among other things. Enjoy your watch though. Be careful.
>>18676689Nobody said buy a rolex.

MIL got me a watch for my birthday. No idea wtf this is. Anyone got an ID or is this some bargain bin shit from Aliexpress?
>>18676648the protagonist is back...

>>18676733He never left
>>18676741>no hour markerwtf?!?!??!!
>>18676741>He never leftHe didn’t take his time off to buy any good watches either.
>>18676750He's already got enough... for now.
Grand Seikos (particularly modern ones) are so fucking terrible. Sure the dials are decent and they’re accurate but overall design is meh to subpar>cases ALWAYS too thick except for the ones that look like the 1960s 45GS>bracelets are ass and fugly>massive, and I mean comically massive bezels for those watches with themEtc etc>>18676689>implying ten thousand can even get you anything good

>>18676780this is said to be the last secret design that gerald made before he passed away. He started to experiment with skeletonized watches but couldn't finish his vision. As far as I know his son later finished the case and this masterpiece was the result
>>18676784kek he sure knew how to make a great open casebackq
I want a Daytona but it's not a good time for me to buy it YET.... I ideally want to wait a few years until after some big moves and projects I'm working on are taken care of. But as we know people wait years for these allocations. So should I put my name in for a daytona now expecting to wait 3-5 years for the call anyway, or should I wait until I have the money to ask for it?
>>18676792based
>>18676792yeah that's the plan. worst case? you decline and move on.
>>18676777I think I might just.
>>18676803tell me about the different types/refs. of speedmasters. I'm very confused about the lineup. But truth be told, if I ever get a chronograph, it's obviously going to be a Zenisu
Are there any classy and minimalistic watches for a cheap price, one that looks like [picrel] that isn't the price of a new car?
>>186765587" ~55mm l2l looking at it. Flat bottoms dont work for me (like all casio). Skx sits ok but is too fat and small. Has to be normal round back. Seiko coctail (not mini) works ok on my hand and is on bracelet. Cant do straps. Case just goes to outer side of hand so the lug is at the edge and the strap bend less.
>>18676814What kind of price point are we talking? What's the limit?
>>18676816I don't know, $1,000, maybe $2,000 max?
>>18676817Mind you that if you can find a similar watch for $100 that's be even better. B ut absolute max would be around $2k.
>>18676853I don't believe the lies about NorK because of who is telling them. Anyway I've seen that watch irl and it's pretty cool. Certainly better than 90% of atrocities available in the market today (design-wise).
>>18676856Who is telling them?
Summertime time, kofe time.
>>18676881What's the model of this watch and price?Is it easily readable in low light?
>>18676886It's a The Citizen AQ4080-52A, check it out. It is widely regarded as the best watch ever made. You can get one for 1,8k € or under.For lowlight sitautions I have installed light emitting fixtures on the room ceilings which you can turn on at will to improve the chances of reading the time from this watch.
>>18676853Damn I heard about this before. And the watch is in what is considered affordable price range for average people like me. I might get it. There is something about wearing the same watch as a world leader
>>18676891Thanks will look into it. I meant I imagine an analog watch with white dial is more readable at 6pm or so than a digital watch or a watch with. Black dial without turning on the light
>>18676891It seems you have to order from Japan. Thinking about how I would size the bracelet to my wrist size. I don't know how to do this and I don't trust the local watch merchants who would probably sabotage it out of spite
*mogs your shitter*
>>18676912Omega sounds really beta
>>18676912>chronometer>officially certifiedOfficially better than Rolex.
>>18676912holy based
>>18676912Look at me.YOU are the shitter king now.
>>18676912Is it from the 80s?Can it even tell the time?
>>18676916>officially certifiedThey only put “officially certified” on the dial because of Rolex.Chronometer is a legal term. You cannot put it on your dial without having the accuracy measured by a third party. In the case of the Swiss, it’s COSC; if you want to sell a chronometer in Switzerland, at least. Saying it’s officially certified is redundant, because it could never be a chronometer in the first place if it wasn’t.Rolex decided to start putting “officially certified” on their dials to make them seem like they’re special. Omega could have stuck to their guns and just said “chronometer” or they could have been Rolex’s bitch. Guess which one they chose.
>>18676792What’s your history? You don’t just sign and wait. You won’t ever get that call 3, 4 even 5 years from now. Just buy it grey now or in a few years when you can afford it. If you’re thinking you can get it at a bargain aka retail price, you’re in for huge disappointment.
>>18676853North Korea is the only reason why Movado and Logitech got famous among the normies.The design is retarded though. Makes it the ultimate fashion watch, in the bad way. No indices? Really? I would never buy it.
>>18676817>>18676821LOLNo dude there are no worthwhile watches for that amount. Are you a fucking Indian or some shit?
>>18676814>>18676817>I don't know, $1,000, maybe $2,000 max?Condition as new, with in-house movement? Picrel is the closest you will find.Otherwise, you're talking 20 years old Omega or Zenith.
>>18676814>>18676980
>>18676985
>>18676814>>18676991This kind of Zenith Elite from early 2000 is doable under 2K too. It's not too too old if it's in good condition.
>>18676996Ronde de Cartier too, for watches not older than 2015-2018 even. You can find them for less than 2K because it's not a popular model compared to the Santos and Tanks.
Why do the same people who make watch threads also make the fragrance threads?
>>18677004The sad answer is they have nothing better to do with their lives.
>>18676996That zenith is great.
>>18676957On the other hand, maybe both companies found that the average asperational wagie is retarded and doesn't know the first thing about watches other than bling bling and wouldn't know wtf a chronometer is, so the dial can help educate them and make them consider things they never thought about before?
>>18676912Gunther Blumlein DEMANDED that the lugs on A. Lange & Sohne watches had a "unique" notch between the lugs and case to stand out in the market (by looking like a worse Omega constellation).You learn a lot from /wt/.
>>18676973I bought a datejust from this dealer. So not zero history but pretty humble compared to the heavy hitters. That's why I'm saying I expect to wait years, I haven't spent the million dollars on watches it takes to be able to walk in and walk out with a steel daytona.
>>18677015>ugly hypebeast watchAnon get a breguet type XX or something, there are tons of watches out there that are sexier and have more "history." How braindead can you be to want a kosher watch?
>>18677015You’ll still need to buy more and keep in regular contact with the AD.
>>18677016It's not just hype, it's legitimately the best chronograph on the market from an engineering standpoint. It's 38mm diameter and barely over 12mm thick, it wears like a normal time only watch. Only the Zenith chronographs come close in the price point without getting into decades old vintage shitters.
>>18677009It’s marketing. Plain and simple.>The Omega is a chronometer? Well, this Rolex is an officially certified superlative chronometer . The Omega must be shit!
>>18676975>Logitech?
>>18677012>Alfredo Langio & sonswho?
>>18676912>That girl from high school tells you she always liked you and she's ready to settle down
>>18676997It's crazy how even when they're making round watches Cartier looks weird.
>>18677020It's the same lug-to-lug distance as the Omega Speedmaster and you only get one choice of bezel scale, which is also the most useless one (tachymeter).Lug to lug is way more important that diameter for how a watch fits btw.Also the case and lugs will look like shit with anything other than the factory bracelet.I'd also look at the breitling chronomat if you want something for wristlets.t. wristlet
>>18677038Yeah? What's the diameter of the speedmaster?What's the thickness of the speedmaster?Is the speedmaster automatic?
>>18677029A very recognizable trackball mouse
>>1867703942 but diameter doesn't matter. Bezel thickness and L2L do. There are 39mm german "dress" watches that I could use as grappling hooks with 50mm L2L.Thickness is 13 or 14mm depending on the crystal choice.Automatic watches without a power reserve indicator are shit.nice reddit spacing btw, I think you need to sleep on it for a few years otherwise you're gonna waste your money on something that will end up in a drawer.
I was today years old when I learned the A in A. Lange stands for ADOLF.What are the horological implications of this?
>>18677051He can't even size his bracelet properly, so trash.
Blackpill me on Vacheron Constantin.
>>18677045If head trauma was a post.
>>18677051It really annoys me when people make a big deal of this>ZOMG THEY'RE HIDING THAT THEIR NAME IS ADOLF WHAT ARE THEY HIDING ARE THEY NAZIS!>!>!.1The company existed and was making watches before Hitler was even born. Adolf is literally just a name. This would be like seeing the brand Joseph and being like>Joseph....... You mean like STALIN!?!?/1Oh no, someone who had a really common name did a really bad thing, oops, I guess nobody can ever use that name ever again for any reason?
>>18677056Despite being the most historically and technologically impressive of the 3 holy trinity brands, it is the only one that is not independently owned.
>>18677065
I can't help noticing these pictures never have today's date.
>>18677062When you see the atrocities the other two put out, you'll realize that it's for the best to have the safety-net. Otherwise we'd get only overseas models and no dress pieces or historiques.
>>18677070AP, maybe, but not Patek. Patek actually has a pretty good lineup, there are some dogs in it like any other brand but they actively try NOT to make everything about the nautilus and aquanaut. Like you can actually name multiple Patek watches worth owning other than those 2. Can you name an AP worth a shit other than Royal Oak? Not even just currently, but historically as well.
>>18677069it's bot spam
>>186770833 genta watches, le cubitus, and then everything else is boring (which I like) but retardedly oversized, with worse finishing than other brands.VC has a better lineup but also all oversized besides the historiques.
>>18677102This year they will release the Cubanus with a hole on the dial.
>>186771023 genta watches?
>>18676912beautiful
Frenens!! 1 ben a looongg tiimees. Mssd ll f you even yuoo shiittera non. I'm wreaning the SPUDMSTER TODAY. Love yu all11!
>>18675653>12mmahahaha what is swatch thinking?
>>18677125By Omega standards, that’s practically an Altiplano.
>>18677128My wife, for some reason, has in her head the idea that she should buy an omega but when she tries them on she can't stand how thick they are. Even the 30mm watches wear like little cubes on wrist.They really need to step back and figure out where the fuck they fell off. Somewhere around the coaxial era they totally lost their way.
>>18677148It’s not the coaxial thing, believe it or not. Omega’s co-axial three-hand automatic movements are only slightly thicker than their Rolex equivalents. It’s purely a design choice. Thick watches are their thing now.When the new Planet Ocean came out and it was thinner than even the original version, I thought maybe Omega was turning a corner. Guess not.
>>18677125you call that thick?
>>18677051Hitler watch mentioned
>>18677177want that, but kinda want this too
>>18677179Didn’t that one turn out to be fraudulent?
>>18675888And my axe.Also, checked
>>18676046VSF
>>18677155I'm not saying it's necessarily coaxial movements, but that's around the time they shit the bed. But if their movements are 1mm thicker it would stand to reason their cases would also have to be 1-2mm thicker. And that's about right. Again, rolex daytona is 12mm thick for an automatic chronograph, every speedmaster variant is over 13mm thick and MANUAL WIND.
>>18677216> I'm not saying it's necessarily coaxial movements, but that's around the time they shit the bed.Ah, Okay. I get your point. That’s about right, I think.With regards to the Speedmaster, though, it was always thick, even in the 1960s. I agree that the new movement for the nü-Speedmaster should have been thinner, but I think Omega wanted to preserve the classic dimensions.Their automatic chronograph movements, though are intolerable. It’s not just the Daytona. The Zenith Chronomaster 38mm is 12.6mm thick. The JLC Master Calendar Chronograph is only 12.1mm wide thick.Omega is simply choosing to make thick watches for some reason known only to their marketing team.
>>18677222Cont. it’s not even a Swatch thing because the BP Air Command 36mm is an automatic chronograph that’s only 11.5mm thick.
>>18676983I honestly wanted to buy the one on the right because of the Roman numeral date window, but the lug-to-lug distance on it was fucking retarded? Why does HOMOS insist on such long lugs? I can't imagine the average Nomos buyer to have massive wrists.
>>18677231Even more confusing, why do they refuse to put dates on watches smaller than 40mm? Do they think only fat people need to know what day it is?
>>18677222Well I guess that's just too bad, because technology has moved on without them and multiple other companies are producing much better stuff. Even rolex, which many people make fun of for being too conservative and set in their ways and won't make big moves, they've still done a lot over the years to improve movement architecture and use better materials and boost power reserve and all kinds of stuff. They just don't do it in a "we made a 10hz worldtimer chronograph with moonphase" kind of way.
>>18677231>Why does HOMOS insist on such long lugs?You buy a Nomos on lug-to-lug, not diameter. With those thin bezels they all wear huge anyway. A 36mm Tangente wears like a 40mm watch.
>>18677241Probably because it has the lug to lug of a 40mm watch.
>>18677186>VSFWhere to get in the EU?
I'm actually really taken with the gold tangantes, the idea of getting a brand new solid gold watch for $10k sounds really appealing. It's really thin for an automatic watch too. I wonder if they're really hard to get though
>>18677065>>18677067Incel.
>>18677179You're so edgy. You realize they lost and are never coming back, right? lol
Why are most of the posters in watch threads from Russia and India? Why are they the same group that spams porn on /b/?
>>18677257They aren't. Why are you making claims you have zero evidence to support?Are you the troll who thinks everyone here is some kind of watch reseller?Fuck off.
>>18677262Found the indian.
>>18677265I’m an American in the Pacific Northwest. I have a couple Russian watches though.You might be a schizo. Do you find yourself doubting and distrusting everything in the world? Suspecting people of lying to you?I’m sorry you have that going on.
>>18677267>I’m an AmericanWith that much coarse, black body hair you’re definitely not white. She me kind of Slavic thing, I presume?
You're doing a hell of a lot of coping for an anonymous person who isn't guilty of anything.
>>18677268I don’t have thick, course black hair. Are you looking at the right image? I’m of Finnish and Scottish descent. I have light brown hair, and it’s pretty sparse. You are insane and I’m sorry about that. But you may want to have your vision checked. There are used watches I won’t buy because some guy with black Velcro arm hair is wearing it in the photos. I’m not racist it’s just gross. Everyone I know has hairier arms than me. I find your comment incredibly off base.This is my arm. Come on now.
>>18677262You faggots reported someone for calling you a jeet. That says a lot.
>>18677275It was confirmed 2 years ago that bittercell is indian.
>>18677275I don't report anyone. Clearly you got in trouble if you're making this claim. THAT says a lot.
>>18677296But does it say it in sanskrit or cyrillic?
>>18677269I hate this fucking website. There's no way to win if someone's trolling you. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.Someone levies some totally bullshit accusation on you and if you let it slide, well, they win. And if you respond with the truth, well, you're "coping and seething" or some shit like that. There's really nothing to do. The trolls have it figured out, how to piss everyone off and still "win" every exchange. It's really better to just ignore them but it's also really annoying when it's so irrelevant an insult so easily disproven. But you can't ever satisfy them. They see your "disprove" and raise you a "that's fake too". lol, a bunch of immature incels probably on the other side of the world and I do let them get to me at times. I guess the reaction is all they need to feel whatever thrill must come with being a troll. I don't get it myself. But I have a pretty fulfilling life.
Thoughts on the SBGY009?
>>18677304Full Zaratsu. It's impeccable up close and the finishing on the case is something you won't find on swiss watches unless you pay ten fold. Literally ten times the price.
I hate how fucking gay all of you bitches are. Why the fuck can't we have normal people having normal watch talk?
