rolex?
Grand Seiko
>>18681497Yes.
>>18681502the brown strap doesn't go with the dial
>>18681488Should I buy a basic bitch 1985 submariner with a nice face but forty years of desk rash or a really nice SVD with a bunch of mags and a super clone GMT master for the same price? 7k either way.
>>18681506i'd probably rather go vintage tudor over super clone but you do you
>>18681504It does.
>>18681509Nah. Not really.
>>18681509It doesnt but i might be biased bc i dont like the dial anyway
>>18681516>>18681520A brown and black strap goes fine with a black dial.
>>18681492Omega.
>>18681509Terrible mix, brown is one of the worst color to mix with purple. It's like when you mix a warm green and a cold green, it doesn't go together.Purple would go well with black, dark navy, yellow, orange, green. It's science.Also, the pattern doesn't match, in a bad way. The dial patterns are angular and the strap patterns (other leather grain rather) are dots. It would go better stripes or woven patterns.
>>18681509It would go well with straps like these.
What's the best Grand Sexo around right now?
>>18681550Purple and brown go together just fine you theorylet. Not everything has to be complimentary colors. Color theory is descriptive not prescriptive. I always use warm brown (burnt umber) in my shadows to make lights pop. t. model painter>>18681553Not really a saffiano fan, and the quality of a Jean Rousseau strap is what I like.>>18681555The UFA ones (picrel).

>>18681502>>18681509>>18681565I unironically can't get enough of this watch.
>>18681598Royaru Sumisu
it's here.The soft and glossy dial color reminiscent of the "water surface" is based on the theme of "Nagi" which refers to the state where the sea surface is quiet.The dial is the first to use a high corrosion-resistant, glossy and polished color ceramics, and express the "eternal beauty" that expands the seascape in front of you.It represents the endless continuation of "Kyuon" from the distant past to the future, which is the origin of the collection name.
>>18681767The case shape is composed of a dynamic curved surface and a beautiful ridgeline with a light image of water movement. The bracelet is finished by skilled craftsmen to beautifully line the hairline from the case.
>>18681768equipped with the Calibur 7R31, a hand-wound spring-drive movement dedicated to credor. The Caliber 7R31" has a dual spring barrel and combines two power springs in a single incense box in parallel, achieving the longest duration as a credor-only movement, which is thin but has a maximum duration of about 72 hours.In addition, the movement, which can be seen from the back of the see-through back specification, has a curved pattern. The gentle pattern of the fragrance box expresses the "separation" where spring water flows slowly in the time when it does not change forever.The power reserve display is placed on the back side, and the duration of each day can be read by the length of each of the three arcs. Temper screws are used for the screws to create a beautiful contrast with the finish of the movement.
>>18681767and the best part is that there are some suckers who will believe it and not see that a plain blue dial is a plain blue dial
>>18681767>>18681768>>18681769The case shape is really nice, I just don't like the integrated wide lugs. Also it should have had the UFA technology! A UFA manual wind could be very small and thin. Movement looks great, especially the power reserve indicator. I'm glad they picked nice-looking numerals too. I'm sure this will be THE WATCH for some people.
That Credor unironically looks like something Tissot would make. I think there's a Citizen that uses the same style of integrated 5 link bracelet, too.
>>18681759Hahaha, Jugdish!
>>18681764I'm glad you clarified that for us. Because if you'd just posted that you can't get enough of that watch I'd have assumed you meant the statement in a totally ironic manner. But you were serious after all.
>>18681769You really seem to be trying to SELL us this watch. What the fuck? The images even say "product". Can you just openly advertise like that?
Unironically is the new literally. Meaning I now have to read or hear it dozens of times a day where it really serves no purpose other than to make the user think they're conveying something they aren't. Dammit.

>>18681808Fucking kiss-ass. It's embarrassing to see. Why would you ever stroke a wealthy person's ego?
>>18681812>being unable to recognize such obvious samefagging in [current_year].Equally embarrassing.
>>18681816>obvious samefaggingYou schizos are just as bad to have to share these boards with. Suspicious of everyone. You're the guy who probably accuses people of using photoshop to "fake" proving you wrong when you misclassify them as a samefagger. You need to learn to give people the benefit of the doubt. Too many people like you now who distrust everything. You can so easily be made to believe lies because you think everything else "official" is lies. Disinformation thrives on distrust. Don't lose your way any further.
>>18681826I envy you. I miss being naïve. Those were bright sunny days, before I turned seven years old.
>>18681826buttmad samefag got busted kek
>>18681829I've never once done that shit. >>18681827And I really don't think it's common. And it's certainly not the case that people are then photoshop editing screenshots. That's the dumbest part. Like, you were wrong. Let it go, don't double down. People sometimes agree with people. Far more common than some asshole talking to himself. Fucking nutbag.
>>18681607what's wrong with it? It's the only major jnnovation since the quartz crisis.
>>18681804Unironically unironically has to be used because millennials are always ironic.>>18681808My brother it's a 10 year old laptop but I run linux so it still boots in 1 second and 16GB ram is still enough for me.
>>18681830People get caught doing it all the time. And they always react the exact same way, just like you’re doing now.>you’re crazy. No one does that!Like, just take the L little buddy. It’s ok if no one likes your watch. The important thing is that you like it and that you post it a dozen times in every thread to make this place that much more miserable for the people who actually want to discuss watches.
>>18681837See? You're a total schitz. You now think I'm a specific poster that posts the same watch over and over? I called a guy a kiss-ass. What makes you think I ever samefagged ever? Because I think it isn't common and that you're a suspicious loon? How the fuck did that transform in your head to me being the other guy? How are you already this confused? I didn't post any watch.
Universal Geneve Compax is back.I’ll admit, I was expecting Breitling to fuck it up, but this is good.39.5 x 47.8 x 12.5mm100m WR, 72hr PR, in-house micro-rotor movement w/ column wheel and vertical clutch.17k CHF steel on bracelet.
>>18681840…And they always react the exact same way, just like you’re doing now.>you’re crazy. No one does that!I accept your concession.
>>18681841How exciting that there's yet another watch that looks exactly like that one! How unique!
>>18681843Huh?
>>18681842No, you're not backing out of this one by doubling down on me. Tell me how you've connected me to any other post. Tell me which posts were me talking to myself. I called a guy a kiss-ass, an anon I assumed was you said it was obvious samefagging that I had fallen for and thought was real, and now I'm suddenly a watch spammer, presumably the same ONE samefag that I thought was two separate people.Do the math on how I fit in there. All three of them are me now? And this is exactly how a triple samefag offender would react?You really need to get offline a while.
>>18681841I like everything but the price. That’s like 21.5k in USD. Bit steep for what it is.
>>18681847If you didn’t feel so attacked, you wouldn’t be posting these essays every time that guy responds to you. You’re just proving his point. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
>>18681848You must be POOR then!!![my impression of a post some troll would have made anyway]
>>18681850Good post. Really contributed to the discussion, there.
>>18681851>/wt/>discussion>
>>18681848I think the CEO said UG was going to be positioned as a premium brand. Historically, the old UG were also on the expensive side.But really, when Rolex can sell a steel Daytona with very similar specs for close to half of that price; or the JLC Polaris chronograph, which is also pretty similar in size, I think they may be a little over-ambitious in terms of positioning the brand.
>>18681767>The soft and glossy dial color reminiscent of the "water surface" is based on the theme of "Nagi" which refers to the state where the sea surface is quiet.Im sold. All my friends at my next polo meet will love this story. Surely it will impress them!
>>18681853Well, there’s at least two guys TRYING to talk about watches in between the standard trolling and that one guy having a meltie over being called a samefag.
>>18681849Why would I not feel attacked by baseless accusations that don't make any fucking sense? It's very rare that you can catch one of these idiots being obviously wrong. The samefag stuff is stupid. It's not even a real accusation I bet. Probably meant as an insult or a dismissal. All of the trolling and negativity on this website is juvenile and idiotic. And in the last ten years a shit ton of totally insane people flooded here and made all that even worse than it used to be. Not that 4chan was ever a very mature site, but I remember a time when everything and everyone was just better, smarter, more interesting, less hateful and bitter and jaded. This place is a fucking sewer compared to when I found it.
>>18681648Yes.
>>18681857Jesus, man. Just let it go. You’re starting to sound like a woman, shrieking about wanting to talk to the manager. If you’ve been here as long as you claim, then you know the first rule is to never get mad on the internet.

>>18681862I'm not really that mad. I don't like being called a liar, but mainly I just like to use any opportunity to bitch at length about the state of things and dunk on dumb and/or crazy people. I like to type. I'm not on a phone. Back in the good old days you didn't get shamed so much for using words.
>>18681867>I'm not really that mad.Sure. Your wife left you and took the kids because she’s crazy, not because of your rotten temper.
gold subs are kind of hot, ngl
>>18681868My wife left me and took the kids? This just gets more and more interesting. I don't even know what this conversation has become now. You're leading though. Where else does this go? Do I have grandkids too? How old are these kids that my wife took? Did she take them to her mother's?

>>18681857>This place is a fucking sewer compared to when I found it.Considering your behavior in this thread, it seems like you’re part of the reason it’s gotten worse.
>>18681881Probably the sterile dial ones made by any number of companies on Aliexpress. Just solid tool watches made well with no fancy bullshit. But I know you guys would much rather pay way more for something with a luxury name on it and some really complicated movement at a price and level of sophistication that's NOT honest because it's nothing an actual pilot would have been able to afford nor is it the kind of work they'd have put into a watch for a pilot at the time.
>>18681881Define “honest”. It’s kind of a vague term.
>>18681889most true to the originals that german pilots were issued in the period, but with modern proportions>>18681888 (you)
>>18681885It was a sewer when I found it too. Compared to the rest of the internet. But I didn't get trolled constantly by bitter, anti-intellectual incels acting like babies.Why the FUCK would you take their side? Because while they're dumb, their posts are just sentence fragments. And you really resent this more. You'd take trolling over long-winded fingerwagging. >actually you're the problem, anon. Not the shitposters you're writing essays againstFuck you.
>>18681890Which $2,000 watch is it then???
>>18681891>I’m not the problem. The other trolls forced me to be a troll. It’s everyone else’s fault.Ok, Karen.
>>18681881>>18681889https://fliegerfriday.com/flieger-friday-everything-you-need-to-know-about-flieger-watches/#:~:text=Lange%20produced>Stowa Flieger>Laco Flieger Pro >Wempe Glashütte AviatorCan't go wrong with any of these options
>>18681881>>18681890The original manufacturers of B-uhr watches were: -A. Lange & Söhne-Wempe-Laco -Stowa -IWC So the answer is from these 5 brands only.Lange and IWC are definitely luxury now.Laco and Stowa are still rugged watches and specialized in fliegers.Wempe is mid.So i'd say the most faithful is the Stowa.Laco close second (but i think they use logos on their dial)And IWC for the luxury version (that's better than the original watches).
>>18681890>most true to the originals that german pilots were issued in the period, but with modern proportionsProbably something like a Stowa. They were one of the companies that made them back then. You can get them with sterile dials and in a variety of sizes.
>>18681898>>18681899>>18681900Appreciated
>>18681898>>18681899>>18681901Fun facts, the ones with the most cred are Lange and Laco, and IWC third (number of sales picrel)Lange was the biggest B-uhr manufacturer and also used camp labor, which is why they don't sell fliegers anymore and pretend that they were forced to do so by the Nazi regime. IWC still does sell fliegers, because during war time they just agreed to do those watches and didn't use camp labor. IWC being based.
>>18681907Prefer a company that didn't produce ally watches and *did* use camp labor.Laco it is
>>18681870for me it's blonde subs
>>18681912based
>>18681912Yup, Laco is the most legit, made the watches in quantity back then, still make the watches, don't spit on their legacy (they literally name the reich as a seal of approval, kek)>The Laco Pilot Watches Original are authentic reconstructions of the observation watches from the 1940s. They are also called B-Uhr, from the German word Beobachtungsuhren. At that time, only a handful of companies received permission to build these pilot watches according to the detailed requirements of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM)https://www.laco-watches.com/en/watches/pilot-watch-original/heidelberg/862094My vote goes to Laco.
>>18681881Seems like you have already been given the best information on the fliegers but another interesting option is the Hanhart 417 ES.>Modern reissue of the iconic German pilot chronograph design with vintage dial layout and manual‑wind movement.>Hanhart describes it as a revival of its historic military chronograph design.Hanhart and Tutima chronos were also issued to luftwaffe pilots.There are also some interesting Seiko's that were issued to SADF
>>18681841This watch is stupid, actually. Even with a microrotor they couldn't get it as thin as a daytona and the retail price is more. Literally the only good watch in the lineup is the Polerouter and even that is way overpriced for what it is.They really should have stepped back and thought "ya know what, this brand is literally just stepping out of the grave after 30 years of death and a lot of the people buying watches now have no idea wtf it is. Maybe we should keep prices reasonable to bring in new eyes again?" Coming out the gate hot with $15k steel watches from a zombie company is a little ambitious.
>>18681841>Universal Geneve Compax is back.Looks like a Unilever logo.This brand was overhyped because it was dead.Like Kirk Cobain and Jim Mo'risson
>>18681974a decade ago, i could have bought BTC at $500.dinkin flicka
>>18681841>17k CHF steel on bracelet.LOL WHAT
>>18681047I'll probably get the 4 stands version of this. Just can't decide on the color. Walnut fits the desk, black fits the bedroom, and would be more practical to grab a watch from there. Is the transparent cover removable?
>>18681982Do you store it in a rock tumbler?
My mom randomly gave me a Citizen 0520(?). I might have to change the strap though since my wrists aren't that big.
>>186820185 years doing sheet metal fabrication job
>>18681565Ahhhh yes, that is one (1) fine beverage in focus to detract from the shitty thinkpad (sinkpad)
>>18682021gave you or gifted you?
>>18682026Damn, respect. Had mine for 5 years but it's still almost pristine, despite it being my watch for doing jobs around the house and whatnot.
Am I retarded for liking this?
>>18682100You’re retarded for wearing those ugly fucking bracelets.
>>18682100the bracelets are CRINGE AS FUCK, very "Boomer/X-gen who went to Thailand once".
>>18681774Alternative
>>18681767I'm in
>>18681898Sure you can go wrong. They cost way too fucking much. How about recommending watches we would actually purchase? You don't have any of those, fucker.
>>18681899$200 max. Give me new options.
>>18681959I will spit on Nazi legacy just like you, edgelord. You don't support any of that. "kek" Faggot.
>>18681975I bought a couple bitcoins at $50 but I bought silk road drugs with it. Oh well. Most morons lost their ass with that gay "crypto" shit. It won't last. It's not real and never will be.
>>18682050Gave is the correct term. Why the fuck are you asking someone to "correct" it to the retarded modern "gifted" usage?Gifted is a noun, not a verb. Fucking zoomers, man. Do you seriously think 'gave' is incorrect somehow? No, it's MORE proper. Now you know. So don't ever do that again. Also, you will switch back to saying 'gave' like a non-stupid person.
>>18681881
>>18682100No, just for paying like $900 for a Seiko. You can like it from afar.
>>18681681How?
>>18682138Thats a fake ebay seiko so you can rest easy
>>18682137>Wow, nice Hanhart, bro>...... It's a what?>nevermind
>>18682205It's a way too much money.
What's a cool watch I can buy that looks and feels nice to wear, has an interesting history, and nobody will confuse me with basedjack#2838483 who bought a watch everyone else on reddit has?
>>18682211But that's what the guys wearing Hamilton were trying to stop tho.
>>18682100You are if it’s as bad as mine. Does the second crown twist at all or is it just a molded part of the cheap case like this one? They make good knockoffs too. But my scammer spent more on the box than the watch.I have that strap on this Timex. Doesn’t seem to go with anything that well. Anyway, I got my Pakistani Feiko for free because of fraud, but it’s so terrible and cheap I’d never wear it. Even though it does keep perfect time.The best part is it cured me of wanting a real one.
>>18682211You are an ignorant pile of shit.Fuck you. No, I am not personally Jewish. I’m just a GOOD person.
>>18682214No one ever met an intelligent antisemite.
>>18681488Thoughts on skeletonized/engraved watches?
let me guess, you need ... more?
>>18682227I don't need that at all. I have a couple with that type of dial layout and I think the PRX case look is played out. But I like your sense of frugality.
>>18682224If you're ridiculously rich so you can buy a good one sure.
>>18682050Gifted would imply a special occasion no? There wasn't any, she just got the watch randomly and gave it to me. No reason, just like that.
Anyone here got this AC remote? I might get one myself.
>>18682258No. Gifted is just a dumb new way of saying given or give depending on the tense. It doesn't imply anything but someone getting caught up in the bastardization of language.
>>18682044Thinkpads are based.The only other things that have given me such consistent performance over 10+ years are my first car and my Speedmaster. Always reliable, always comfy.I think not liking thinkpads says a lot about you as a person. It means your taste in watches is also probably awful flashy hypeshit.
I think will be my first high dollar watch.
>>18682219>No, I am not personally Jewish.What an odd thing to say.
>>18682275Based? Speedmaster?You are lame as fuck.
>>18682276
>>18682277No it isn't. Not even one bit.Absolutely every single time I've pushed back against hatespeech towards jews on this site I'm called "rabbi" or nonsense words that must be hebrew names or some other such shit. I'm quite sure if I didn't put that your comment would cover it. You know exactly what's going on. You wouldn't have commented now if you weren't one of those dishonorable morons.
>>18682280The speedmaster is basically the only good-looking swiss chronograph.
>>18682276You're a twink aren't you?
>>18682284I own 3 chronographs and have never once timed anything with them. Neither have you. You clicked the buttons a few times when you got it to test it out and never did again.Complications are fucking stupid.
>>18682276First? Why are you planning to start buying expensive watches? That's so dumb.
>>18682287I've used the chronograph on my speedmaster when driving, flying, exercising, hiking, cooking, gaming, RC racing, and countless other things. The tachymeter is useless, but once I swapped to the telemeter I actually ended up using that.
>>18682283
>>18682304Right.
>>18682287congratulations, you're officially a retard. It might come as a shock to you but not everyone is a retard.
>>18681812>>18681816i'm a different person and i'm just commenting on ur facebook posts with the first thing that comes to mindnot trying to ego strokei live in a shithole with disgusting floors and mold on everything, i see a very clean table and a glass of juice and i wish i were there>>18681836>My brother it's a 10 year old laptop but I run linux so it still boots in 1 second and 16GB ram is still enough for me.ah basedthe design made me think it was one of the newer ones idk why
but god you guys are all faggotsthis world is so fucking broken
>>18682287I understood this before ever buying a chronograph
Why can't they just remake stuff like this?
>>18682352Why remake it? No one wants the old ones that badly. Just get the real deal.
>>18682352>>18682352>Why can't they just remake stuff like this?probably because of fags, in some way or another
>>18682357They look better than their new designs. They have a big back catalogue full of more or less unique watches that they could use for inspiration. GS specifically needs to stop limiting itself to only their designs and start looking at its parent's archives.
>>18682363Everyone knows Seiko's best days are long behind them. They offer too little watch for too much money now. Vintage is the way to go. The only way.
>>18682360>fagsI don't know why that made me laugh so hard. You just don't see them being the scapegoat like that very often.>it was fags
>>18682021don't. just sell it as new.
>>18682368i'm telling you man
My thin comfort.
>>18682380Pure one layer flexible strap throughout.
>>18682381It's shocking it works.
>>18682383 (You)The story is, my wrist is too thick for the default F-91W. The buckle ends up on the side and the watch always goes off center to the side too. Yet I liked how thin and light the watch was. Then I found a flexible strap in my mom's tailoring box. At first I decided to make a proper strap, but eventually I simplified the design until it was nothing more than simply a single piece of strap with ends melted off until it was left with the perfect size and nothing else. The friction of the bars holds the strap. The melted blobs prevent it from going out. It's crazy but the end result is optimized for pure thin comfort. The ultimate under the cuff, out of the way watch. I could sew the ends but I didn't need to yet. Of course I'm not scared of losing the watch. Pure performance.
>>18682281>>18682286I don't see what's wrong with it? You must be children to still be concerned about rainbows.
>>18682380>>18682381>Slimness 5mm>Power reserve 999 days>Lume: yesBetter than Patak Philippe
>>18682371Yeah I know plenty of fags. I'm part fag even. Like a 1.5 on the Kinsey Scale. Believe me, the fags have no power.
>>18682390I shoved a CR2025 or CR2032, I don't remember, inside so it's way more than 999. Also filled it with extra virgin olive oil. You'll never find such exquisite water proofing on a Phillipio.
>>18682380>>18682381I'm sorry. We tallied all the votes, and you didn't pull it off. That kind of band just doesn't work with a Casio considering the way the case transitions into the stock rubber strap.I'm sure it's comfortable, sport. But it'll just never look right.
>>18682404Yeah those Japanese boomers at Casio need to finally make a straight strap friendly design. Their default straps suck ass. If you know a model, recommend.
It would look fine if it was just squared off. Those brackets on the end just make it only work with what they give you, and yes on the non-G-shocks the straps can really blow. I never ever wear my F-84W for that reason. Like this watch has normal lugs and would look good on other straps. And while the brand just makes total cheap crap, the way this displays the time is really, really cool. I've never seen it before. I'm sure some other company came up with it and charge more than $28 for it, but I wouldn't pay any more for such a novelty.
>>18682408Weird, that is on another strap. When I screenshot it I thought it was on a metal bracelet. I didn't even know it came on leather until I saw what I posted. Shit, I'm going to order that one. 36mm seems alright. Final digital. Final final.
