>>18695589we're not arguing against the posting of watches, we're arguing against the spamming of the same 6 pics of the same watch taken by the same 2003 cell phone cameraat least poo anon posts something new and inspiring
Honestly if your watch isn't>Rolex>Cartier>Patek>Vacheron>AP>Richard Mille>Journe>Lange>JLC>and MAYBE some very specific models from a few other brandsThen I'm not interested in what you have to say about horology. Or anything else really.

>>18695582turd sandwich
>>18695582Why does it look like there’s wet shit under the dial?
Why are you homos so obsessed with shit? The fuck is wrong with you?
>>18695597>horologyHorology pertains to the construction, repair, and design of time pieces. People who's only relationship to watches is that they like to buy them shouldn't throw the word around to make their "hobby" sound more sophisticated and less shallow than what it actually is.

"Yup"?Fuck you, OP.
>>18695597What about Cadisen?? Are you interested in what I have to say about horology in relation to the watchmaker Cadisen? Horology. hahahahaYou get a watch on your own list and then you can be a stuck-up cunt.
>>18695713You and that fucking dead watch are becoming as annoying as the guy with the lame quartz Citizen and the old cups of coffee.
>>18695771I just thought the picture was cute. I didn’t mean anything by it. I agree though that I’ll try not to take up as many posts as last thread.
Kofe time.
>>18695774We've seen your watch at least 1000 times but, I took the time to think about it in a more objective manner and my conclusion is that; people don't actually realise what they're seeing here.It is an anomaly in the watch world. I won't say that it is the best value for money that you can get, because sadly this term has also been dragged through the ground and it has lost its meaning, and yet if you think about it, the fact that you can get this watch below 2000$ does not make sense.First of all, you get the, possibly, most accurate autonomous watch on the planet, no GPS gimmicks, no radio controll no internet whatever, it's just you, in the woods, knowing the atomic time without big tech and or the government being able to track you. On top of that, you literally have a feature that is usually reserved for much, Much more expensive watches- the perpetual calendar.Technicalities and specs aside, what do you get on the finishing part? It is as good as a grand seiko in terms of Hands and Marker finishing- Spotless, Sharp and no impurities or rough edges to be found. But what does GS-Level mean? Well it literally means that your Markers and Hands do have, on a macro level, better finished hands than 5 Digit Swiss Watches. It doesn't matter if this fact makes you angry or triggered or in doubt, but it is a Fact. The dial itself, the way they did the perception of depth, shouldn't work but it does and youc an even see the sunburst effect too.Okay so what about exclusivity? Well what defines exclusivity?>Low productionCheck>Locked behind the country of originCheck>Rare limited edition on top of said rarity to begin withCheckSo what about the case?Well it is not zaratsu but it still shouldn't be as good as it is. It is almost distortion free.But is it all perfect? I don't think so, no. It is too thick, the movement is ugly and the bracelet is below the standards that the dial and tech have set. But again,it's 2000$
>>18695774>>18695776Compare it to the competition, at 2000$ what do you get from the swatch brands? ETA? Yeah... I mean cool. So what is the catch? The name, Citizen. It IS the fashion world after all and branding is, for better or for worse, the most important factor in the eyes of the everyday people.Is it perfect for what it is? I think so, yes. There is room for improvement though, but said improvement would mean that it isn't the same watch, so I would not touch it. It being thick btw also means that it is more durable, so it isn't necessarily a bad thing. Especially considering that there needs to be room for the thermocompensation for the accuracy.
The clock on this page is so perfect, is there any watch that can be this perfect? Meaning always accurate and also displaying ISO week number etc is a huge plus, a clock without week numbers is s failure (100% of them)
>>18695780High Accuracy Quartz (watches)Smart Watches (these use GPS for the NTP server)Atomic Watch: Radio-Controlled, Self-Setting Watches by CASIOI will say that Casio Atomic watches are a bit of a pain to work through the manual but are close to perfect with keeping time. I have the same issue i want my Quartz Seiko alarm clocks and wall clocks to be crazy accurate but i would have to buy a whole entirely new setup for it. I do base those times off of my phone since that is more accurate than my own quartz watch.
>>18695790son of a bitch, did you even ready the post?
your $2000 eco-drive, sir
>>18695791>Meaning always accurate and also displaying ISO week number etc is a huge plus, a clock without week numbers is s failure (100% of them)

>>18695798https://wristaficionado.com/products/patek-philippe-complications-calatrava-5212a-001-weekly-calendar-stainless-steel-silver-opaline-dial-2025The 5212A introduced a complication with no precedent in Patek Philippe's modern catalogue and considerable rarity across the entire industry: the weekly calendar, which displays the ISO week number — the internationally standardised system used across business, logistics, and professional scheduling — alongside the full day name, date, and month on a single dial.
whoah this is the dog's bollocksweekdayiso week number
>>18695799yes, I just found out as well, this is absolutely incredible, and also sad that other watch makers don't realize the value of it
>>18695801Sorry i miss read your last post but you could (with money) ask for a custom watch from a manufacturer. No clue how that would go and what limited numbers would be presented if made but it might be worth their while.
>>18695799I work as a manufacturing consultant and week numbers are serious business, I find it so surprising that g shocks which are marketed as the engineers watch dont have it
>>18695802apology acceptedit's fascinating that only patek philippe nails the needs of the working class
>>18695804Its rather affordable just save up for 12 months and you get a watch. No different than back in the day where 3 months paycheck paid for a Rolex Submariner
>>18695805i thought patek philippe was north of 100k which is a lot for me personally
>>18695776>>18695777Probably the most thorough review of The Citizen I've ever seen. >Well it is not zaratsuActually, it is.
>>18695806Resale is normally 2-3x of MSRP due to availability for higher end watches. This one is 40k ish USD. I can buy one in 8 months but i am sadly a poor fag who needs to spend it on extra mortgage principal payments since i hate debt. Real rich fags could buy this in 2 months but thats not me LOL XD.
>>18695805but why are the numbers seemingly handwritten by a person who has poor handwriting?
>>18695806Main site lists it for 44k USD. https://www.patek.com/en/collection/complications/5212A-001>>18695810Its apart of the charm unlike the mass manufactured Rolex/Omegas
>>18695808I lost a lot of money on poor decision making, I need to spiritually and financially recover for at least 2 decades before I can consider such an extravagance
>>18695811aesthetically, it looks kind of questionable, although admitably unique.but conceptually, it just is perfect
>>18695815Keep searching for ISO week wrist watches you might find something similar. Who knows G Shock might have it hidden in a setting. Smart watches might be your only choice if you really need that requirement meet. I bet Garmin has that already built in.
>>18695805>just save up for 12 months and you get a watch.a watch is not worth 12 months of peak earning and the work, preparation, and economic conditions that go into making that possible. We should be frugal and careful with our finances in case of economic collapse
>>18695817IKR i was just showing how much of a poor fag i am. I could buy a thousand dollar watch monthly and still max out investments/extra principle payments and add to savings. But no way in hell am i going to yolo into a watch i cannot even afford to scratch up.
How you niggas feel about gshocks?
>>18695818hehe yeah bro, peace of mind is worth more than anything else
>>18695820Love them Is my daily beater most of the yearcasio oceanus 5235If you like field watches on the other hand i would recommend Bertucci https://ultimatefieldwatch.com/
>>18695822Yeeee been collecting watches for nearly 25 years at this point. Scaled my shit back recently to a few gshocks and my Ball Fireman, skx, and scuba dude. Bought the fireman about 10 years ago now. Tritium tubes are starting to dim a bit sadly. Can't really see the differing colors in the dark anymore with the naked eye but they all still glow.
>>18695824Nice be sure to pick yourself up a Gshock Frogman. Surprisingly comfy with cool colorways. GWFA1000-1A2https://www.casio.com/us/watches/gshock/product.GWF-A1000-1A2/800$ but discontinued this version. For me atleast its a nice value for such a cool watch.
>>18695826Never been huge on the frogman desu. I've tried one on and idk It just feels too bulky. I know it's different but I had a rangeman back in like 2015 and I just hated how bulky it was and just ended up selling it.
>>18695828I get it the rangeman/mudmaster/frogman and some of the MRG's are all fat fucks. I love them all the same but everyone has their preferences. I wouldn't mind a thinner luxury watch than what i have now but i have a soft spot for the thicc bitches.
What watch should I buy to get a cute french rightwing black gf?
>>18695831I like the idea of the thicc bitches but it drives me insane when it just doesn't easily slip under a shirt cuff. if it catches and shit or protrudes it drives me up the wall.
>>18695832
>>18695820the gold one is hideous and looks all scratched up, the fake AP is shit, and the one on the right looks like a cereal box prize.
>>18695772Wow, unexpected maturity. You did seem pretty decent. Fair enough.
>>18695801Are you being sarcastic? The "ISO week number"? That's of value? To whom? Some weird business job where you need to make sure it's not leap day in Taiwan? What the fuck does any of it mean and why does it need to be on a watch?It doesn't. It holds no value, no other customers will want it, and no other watchmakers would benefit from offering it.
>>18695804I'd call it ironic actually. What working class person is affording a Patek?
>>18695805>just save up multiple thousands every month and then buy a watch with it. not a big deal at all. unless you're POOR?
>>18695810Maybe it's a 'duality of man' type of thing. >we have the most expensive and needlessly complex movements and we're king shit of "horology". Everything is exact down to the micron. Oh, by the way, we hired Charles Schultz to letter everything you read on this watch. That'll be $100,000 please.
>>18695844>If a coal miner in west virginia could afford it in 6 months full untaxed no COL paychecks why can't you?? ARE YOU ON WELFARE FAGGOT?
>>18695841All accounting anywhere uses week numbers for stuff.That's the only practical use I'd know of.
>no 365 day date calendar with 366 leap yearYES I WILL PAY 150k$ for it.
>>18695856Honestly that's a bargain too. You should be able to save that up in a week or two if you aren't on welfare.
>>18695859How many food stamps do i have to sell to make that payment within the month.
It's just a watch worth 80k USD are you telling me your children will starve if you buy this? Your not paying in credit are you on Klarna? I thought everyone had this money in cash after working at Dollar general for a couple months.

>>18695862I've been working as a gardener fro nearly a year now and I have to say Patek Philippe is firmly out of my reach. You simply cannot save enough in this economy to ever comfortably afford one.These must be only for those who are born into luxury, which is a shame. The watches miss the audience that would really appreciate the art.
>>18695864It sucks because if this was 5k it would (for me) be affordable. Also its a really nice watch but more than 5k is asking alot for anyone let alone someone with a job, bills and a future to look forward for.
Any good poor fag shitter moon phase watches with a blue dial. Please think of my starving family they cannot afford yet another house downpayment on a watch.

>>18696044>He did, but he went out of his way to respect the three day ban. Mods just kept banning him after for some reason.Not quite. He got banned for ban evasion, which carries a longer ban. He tried to negotiate with the mods in this thread and insisted that if he served his original three day ban then the subsequent bans should be thrown out. It was funny but also a little sad. I felt bad for him. The idea of not being to post here genuinely upset him.
>>18696027They’re for people who already buy swatch but not for the ones that buy Audemars Piguet.
>>18696027I'd wear a Royal Swatch.
I find it funny how conservative watchfags can be when it comes to these Swatch collabs, or any colorful/dumb watches (like the celebration OP, Richard Mille, etc).They're just fun shitters, and there are far more offensive watches out there.
>>18696085They’re not very good to look at and are overpriced for what they are. Intended only for the most gaudy of buyers to wear.
>>18696085For instance what? What is more offensive than cheapening brands with hundreds of years of history creating hand made functional works of art with industrialized plastic crap that will clutter the land and its oceans for millions of years after the extinction of the human race?
>>18696027
>>18696095
>>18696089>>18696092Swatch has been around for over 40 years. They have their own design language (fun colorful cheap shitters) and actually brought something new to the table. It's so weird to hate them just now, it's like you've been into watches for 6 months lmao>For instance what?I find the Omega Aqua Terra Worldtimer far more offensive than the Moonswatch. The former is a bloated deformed unwearable piece of crap, while the latter is just a fun plastic Speedmaster.
>>18696097Swatches aren't 3ven cheap, unless you consider $80-130 for a loud, sloppy tolerance plastic shitter with bands that disintegrate in a year "cheap." You can literally get better quality watches from a gas station for under $20.
>>18696131Who cares nigger, they look cool
>>18696131>disintegrate in a yearI hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but I have Swatches that are 30 plus years old and they still work fine and they're on their original straps, which havent disintegrated.A Swatch is a great watch when you want to mix things up. The name "Swatch" is a portmanteau of "Second Watch". The whole concept behind the brand was that you'd have your stuffy Tank or Datejust or whatever during the workweek, and on the weekends you'd relax and have a little fun.You need to remember that when the company was founded, the idea of owning multiple watches was still not normal, while watch collecting was an extraordinarily niche hobby. Swatch was instrumental in convincing a generation of watch buyers that collecting watches was a real hobby.Personally, I don't actually wear any of my Swatches anymore, but my collection has always had a relaxed weekend watch. In this case, the Hermes H08.
>>What ((we)) want: Correct dial layout, waffle pattern; no peanuts characters, case back that opens - crystal can be replaced; inherently modifiable, upgrade by design (metal case, sapphire crystal); automatic or quality ETA quartz, no plastic bullshit.>What we'll get: Sealed plastic case - dial ruined by gimmick, some kind of unwanted lanyard feature, $5 quartz - $500+ MSRP
>>18696131>loud, sloppy tolerance plastic shitterTotally. I wonder is swatch lovers ever touched or heard a Swatch. It's loud as fuck and the plastic doesn't even feel like premium plastic, but some 1980s toy you found in the attic. Pogs or action figures feel 1000 times more premium than swatch watches.
>>18696158Why would you want a disposable watch to be serviceable? All the features that you, I mean ((we)) want will just add to the price. Look at what happened with the Blancpain Swatch. Automatic movement (which itself is actually a very cool movement in terms of its engineering) but it raised the price and it flopped, while Moonswatches continue to fly off shelves.
>>18696159>Pogs or action figures feel 1000 times more premium than swatch watches.How much do your funco pops cost compared to a Swatch?
>>18695627ref?
>>18696161Funko Pops feel more premium than you shit Swatch.Yes, that's how shit they are.
>>18696160I don't want a $280+ disposable watch, let alone one thats meant to be an AP.The blancpain flopped because its a hype-less watch, with a an ugly execution.
>>18696166Kind of feels like you want it both ways.>I want it to be inexpensive enough to where I'm comfortable buying a watch on impulse>I also want it to have a bunch of features to where this thing will last me forever.It's like the old aphorism with cars: "Cheap, well-made, fast: you can only ever have two"
>>18696163How did I know you were a Funco Pop collector, LMFAO.
>>18696168We don't want it at all.If you want a good cheap watch, get a casio.
>>18696169i'm not, "LMFAO" guy.
>>18696170>welol, ok. i see you don't feel your argument can stand on its own. (don't bother samefagging, it will just be undiginified)you're worried that this hypothetical swatch oak will be popular, like the moonswatch, though i can't imagine why you'd actually care either way.
>>18696168Nothing I listed is unreasonable, especially at that price point, you can find all of those traits in sub $100.00 watches; its simply how watches are made.
>>18696170Actually, no, I do want it, speak for yourself. I think the industry can stand to have a little more fun. Even if I don't buy one, I prefer an industry that produces creative output instead of an industry dominated by a bunch of diabetics arguing over the ideal diameter of a dress watch and whether a subsecond counts as an unnecessary complication.
>>18696173The modifiable and upgraded case materials are a no-go.Swatch does not like people modding its watches. Chinese companies don't care, but the Swiss do. Go figure.Upgraded case materials? No. In order to maintain a healthy distance between a Swatch Royal Oak and a real Royal Oak, the Swatch must only ever be plastic. Steel is out of the question. I have ZERO doubt that some enterprising soul will make a third-party steel upgrade package, but that's not the same thing.
>>18696176Thats exactly what I meant, the only thing making the Moonswatch non-upgradable is the sealed case.
Hating Swatch because they're made of plastic and are "loud" (?) is bizarre, and I say this as fucking sperg who will get angry at a watch for being 0.5mm too thick.
>>18695891Is there any other kind?
>>18696092Fuck you people and your appreciation of "hundreds of years of history" as if that's ANY excuse for them to charge over $1,000 for ONE watch ever. Fuck off for having a problem with the one time these brands are available to the 99%. You are not even rich; not that it would excuse your superior cunty sentiments. All of you fucking snobs can eat shit. Especially since you're poor and just kissing the ass of rich lifestyles and tastes.
>>18695801>sad that other watch makers don't realize the value of itIt's just some wageslave shit
those would look so much less shit if it was a smooth bezel
>>18696193>Fuck you people and your appreciation of "hundreds of years of history" as if that's ANY excuse for them to charge over $1,000 for ONE watch ever.You too accustomed to cheap shit made in the third world. You don't buy clothes made in the west, you don't buy cars made in the west,, so yeah, these prices look ridiculous to you.Those watches are made in the developped world with normal western wages for a good part.
>>18695868
>>18696193They're quite literally victims of the most insane marketing campaign ever. Selling inferior technology at an insane premium.Literally no one at large cares about any of this shit, you're arguing against the retards that self selected into this autistic behavior. They will not just randomly snap out of it.
bored, might buy some microbrand shit or a weird citizen
>>18696212Intel makes cutting edge processors with tens of billions of transistors, designed in western countries and fabricated in western countries. A cutting edge processor like that costs like 300-500 USD. That still supports a massive marketing budget.You are, quite literally, retarded. There's no way around it.
>>18696210New polo dial looks like shit too
>>18696217You're totally disregarding economies of scale (a carriage costs more today than 100 years ago because there's less people buying them) and the fact that they are not totally industrial product, there's actually labor going into it not just machines.

>>18695820Nice
Why do so many people have a problem with the Cubitus? Honestly, it looks pretty nice. Or is/was it simply the basically the impossible-to-meet level of expectations?
>>18696290I see someone has been eatin good like a big boy
>>18695713did you get a quote for restoration or is it too far gone?
>>18696304It is too far gone (all the gears are rusted) and it would mean basically destroying it to insert a new movement. Likewise since it’s a (relatively) cheaper Pre-Must it has a Brass base with gold plating which means polishing it would probably just destroy it.I’m going to keep my 15705 but down the line later I may buy a new Tank if I save some money for it since I am not as rich as most of you.
>>18696297I like it but people generally don't like square watches as it is.

>>18696213Thanks bro that is exactly what i was hoping to get as a reply. Looks real nice.
>>18695729Do they also come in adult sizes? .)
>>18696219why are they so hell bent on destroying piaget from the inside?
>>18696328thank you for you service.I'm doing just fine man. How was the meeting?
>>18696360They're not. Piaget still makes great dress watches and the lovely Polo 79. They've just never been able to do steel sports watches right. It's not in their DNA. See the Upstream for a real odd attempt.
The Piaget Warhol is really fucking sexy. It's insanely overpriced though.
>>18696389Man, some of LV’s newer models are kind of nice but dear God did they put out some ugly shitters. I can’t imagine anyone outside of some African gang leader who styles himself ‘warlord’ wearing something like this.
>>18696398The funny thing is that, while Warhol was a indeed a Piaget collector, the watch he’s most identified with is the Tank.
>>18696297>Why do so many people have a problem with the Cubitus?Mostly the rollout.People were upset that Patek simply didn't make more steel Nautiluses (like Rolex with Daytonas). People didn't like that Patek didn't do anything to stop the wild price spike on the secondary market. They didn't like how Patek kept talking about wanting to discontinue the steel Nautilus (driving up prices further)Then when this was released and the YouTubers, in between shilling the latest Ch. Ward, declared that this was somehow a disaster, Thierry Stern responded basically, "These people will never own any kind of Patek, why do they think their opinion matters?"And once the YouTubers moved onto something else, you started to see the trickle of articles entitled "Actually...the Cubitus is kinda good."
Hey do you guys remember the Speedmaster? What happened to that watch? Is Omega still making them?
>>18696405That makes sense - people hated the watch because they felt that, because of it, there wouldn’t be any more steel Nautilus.Yeah so far from the grey market prices we can see that it seems to be pretty popular and apparently isn’t just being bought for purchase history. Otherwise, the grey price wouldn’t be twice as high.I think the design is pretty nice and could actually in the long run stand alongside Santos/Royal Oak/Nautilus.
>>18696389UFAnon, just like his watch, was a refined man of exceptional taste. It was a pleasure to meet a fellow appreciator of fine horology.
>>18696413>I think the design is pretty nice and could actually in the long run stand alongside Santos/Royal Oak/Nautilus.Definitely. The Cubitus is one of the highlights of the next generation of integrated sports watches, alongside the Moser Streamliner and Bulgari Octo Finissimo.
>>18696413>it seems to be pretty popular and apparently isn’t just being bought for purchase history. Otherwise, the grey price wouldn’t be twice as high.Anecdotally, a saleswoman at a Patek AD (I was there looking at other brands they sell and had told her earlier that pateks are out of my price range) I went to recently told me that a ton of people ask her to get them a cubitus but allocations are relatively rare and she just can't do it for most of them. I think the hate is mostly terminally online poor person envy. Personally I don't much like the cubitus though, and I'm also too poor to afford one>>18696419>Bulgari Octo FinissimoThese are pretty cool, I want to check out the new 37mm model. I tried on the 40mm one but it's too big for me
>>18696419>The Cubitus is one of the highlights of the next generation of integrated sports watches, alongside the Moser Streamliner and Bulgari Octo Finissimo.Poor troll.
>octo fagissimo
>>18696421>These are pretty cool, I want to check out the new 37mm model. I tried on the 40mm one but it's too big for meIt's supposed to wear large, otherwise they wouldn't have designed that bracelet like that. The lug to lug is only 45mm, which is just a hair more than a 36mm Rolex. I definitely get that it looks enormous, like a cuff bracelet, and that can put a lot of people off.I haven't seen the 37mm version in person but I suspect it will feel pretty tiny. If it's as comfortable as the 40mm version, then it will be incredible on the wrist>>18696434>Poor trollIs that what you think of yourself as?
>>18696441>Is that what you think of yourself as?It's Bittercel. What else would he be?
>>18696442Hi, bittercel, let's see your watch collection lol.
>>18696443Here you go. :^)
>>18696444It's curious how much self humiliation you seek. You even saved the collection pic of your nemesis. At least he was that, in your head.
>Bittercel gets found out again, tries to make it seem like he's someone else.
>>18696451This image >>18696444 never fails. It took >>18696447 less than five minutes to respond. It's been at least five years at this point.
>>18696421>I think the hate is mostly terminally online poor person envyI don't even think it's that. I think it's just a case of trying to optimize engagement. Talking about Rolex and Patek gets more clicks than talking about Piaget or Glashutte Original. Being a miserable jerk gets more clicks than being well-considered or even positive.
>>18696400Yes but Cartier doesn’t need to coast off the fact that some random artist who made five hour movies of the Empire State Building wore their watches once, in order to remain relevant.
>>18696481>I don’t wear a Tank to tell the time. In fact, I never wind it. I wear a Tank because it’s the watch to wear.Andy Warhol's hardly "some random artist", let's try not to sound too flyover now.Cartier doesn't need anyone because they have their long history of excellent design and their reputation. Among watch brands there probably isn't any single brand that's more 'cool'. Rolex went from being casual to being gauche, Patek is too stuffy, AP/Hublot is just gaudy, but wearing a small, elegant Cartier is always pretty cool.Piaget's definitely had a couple of hits in their time (and quite a few misses) but they're just not as known. A Tank is one of those watches you can ID from across the room.
I got to check out the Tudor Monarch in person at my local AD.It's pretty nice. It works way better in person than it does in pics. The dial color is great. The size is just right and it's comfortable, but the tonneau-shaped case makes it look a little larger. I would have made this 37mm instead of 39mm. It feels better-made, a more premium product, than any Black Bay.The case flanks are still a little slabby and I wish they'd have opted for a solid back to spare some thinness, since the movement is nothing special. It is not able to hide its thickness the way a Rolex can.I think it would actually look really good on a leather strap.The price is a little steep for what it is, but I might pick up some safe queen on the used market when the standard depreciation hits.
>>18696491[spoiler] I meant the pithy comment in jest and was intentionally being belligerent. I actually like Warhol. [/spoiler]

BB58 GMT 'diet coke' on jubilee. Coming in the mails soon. Does you like it?
>>18696518I dgaf about the necklace pop gimmick, this is really stupid. But make it 38mm, sapphire crystal, and I'll buy a Miami blue in a heartbeat. will look good snuggled next to my other summer slut
>>18696522>Does you like it?Not especially. It leans too hard into the faux vintage vibe. Get rid of the gilt dial and hands in favor of silver. Replace the bezel with the one from the regular Black Bay GMT and it's a home run.
>>18696516>>18696518>AI face>inconsistent fonts>artefacts all over the place>different case sizes on the model even it's supposed to be a pop swatchDumb zoomer
>>18696524thats the point though anon. its vintage proportions and styling
>>18696522I don't hate it but it's the same price as a vintage Datejust and there's no way I'm picking a Tudor over a vintage Datejust.
>>18696529imo its hard to compare a GMT to a datejust. i think id rather have a modern tudor than a beat datejust but to each their own
>>18696528Vintage proportions and styling is fine but I think Tudor went a little overboard. It tries too hard and just ends up coming off as fake.>>18696529>I don't hate it but it's the same price as a vintage Datejust and there's no way I'm picking a Tudor over a vintage Datejust.The kind of DJ you can get for 5650USD these days is going to be pretty old and not in great shape. The modern watch will be a lot more durable if that matters to you.
>>18696522jubilee on the blackbay is always a home run
>>18696536fwiw, i picked it up full set with oyster and jubilee for a touch over 4k in vg+ shape. so i feel i cant lose
>>18696538Oh, yeah, definitely for that price. That's a good buy. I was talking MSRP which, admittedly, is a price no one actually pays, but it's a consistent reference point, at least.
>>18696540i was torn between the 58gmt coke and the gmt opaline pepsi in the larger case, might swap some day. we'll see how i like it irl
>>18696544I had the classic BBGMT when it came out and tit was a brick. Totally unwearable on the bracelet, it was just way too heavy. Pretty nice on the distressed leather Tudor strap that was made for the original Black Bay, though. Still thick and slab-sided as fuck, but at least it wasn't as heavy.I think a watch that big with a white dial will just wear huge. The BB58GMT is the much better bet of the two.
>>18696545hope they offer the pepsi on the new bb58 gmt soon
>>18696514looking tasty!
>>18696297There are a few main reasons.>it's literally just a square nautilus>Patek acts as if it's not simply a square nautilus and tells you it's a new watch that carries them away from the nautilus and aquanaut to serve a new generation of young affluent watch buyers, as if they believe you're stupid and you can't see with your own eyes it's just a square nautilus.>the president of the company made himself into a human meme by dismissing people saying it is literally just a square nautilus as not worth paying attention to because they're too poor to buy one anyway.
>>18696514>has bananas and potatoes on the loo
>>18696575>not worth paying attention to because they're too poor to buy one anywayI mean....I'm not gonna act like he's wrong here.who cares what tire kickers and poors think? they're just in the way of everyone else
>>18696587Nigga that Patek is fake as fuck
What do you think of my collection?
>>18696491>Among watch brands there probably isn't any single brand that's more 'cool'.>Rolex went from being casual to being gauche, Patek is too stuffy, AP/Hublot is just gaudy, but wearing a small, elegant Cartier is always pretty cool.I think it really depends on the Cartier.Some middle-aged housewife wearing an all-steel Panthere? Not cool.That weird dive watch they made or any of the shitter Must Tanks? Nope (nor is that dive watch small or elegant)Any Cartier that sticks to the classic formula, though (small, precious metal, white dial with Romans, no complications, blued-steel hands, black gator strap) is always going to be cool.
>>18696590It's fine. Not the best ever posted here nor the worst.
Do you guys think there's a cool person in the world that will look at you in an outfit and think "oh this guy is cooler than I originally thought because his watch is well finished or more expensive or whatever autistic shit you're into"?
>>18696599Yes, the watch says something about the wearer. No different than the clothes he chooses to wear, or his shoes, or his haircut, or his personal hygiene. Why would you assume otherwise?
>>18696591The Panthere is kind of cool. Sure it's a low tier Cartier but the design is alright. I like the trophy wife vibe it gives off.IMO the worst in the current catalogue are>Tank Americaine>Tank Francaise (especially the automatic one)>Ballon>Drive>all these big ass SantosThe worst Cartier ever made is the Tank Divan.

Whiy didn't Tudor remake this instead of the turd they came up with?It's just perfect, simple, with the rose logo.(And no, i'm not obssessed with turds)
>>18696085I want to have sex with this woman
>>18696614Because most buyers are fat boomers and tasteless millenials who only want big ass sports watches.Even a brand like Cartier, known for their elegant dainty watches, has make grotesque shitters like picrel to be profitable. I'm sure the good people are Tudor hate themselves for what they've done with the Monarch but that's literally the only way to make money in 2026, sadly.
>>18696604>The worst Cartier ever made is the Tank Divan.Yeah. That one never should have made it out of the prototype stage.The Cle de Cartier was also ass, as was the Tank Anglaise.
>>18696604>DriveWasn't that discontinued like five years ago?
>>18696614>(And no, i'm not obssessed with turds)Why would you feel the need to insist upon this? You could have described the Tudor using a different term, but you didn't. You betray yourself.

>>18696607Part of the appeal of those Casios is the gibberish technical jargon all over it. Strip it away and they look like shit.
>>18696663Not really. The higher up you go the more it is for people who either really enjoy the complex engineering of the peice or, like you said, status. The better materials are substantial though. It is hard to justify putting a $10 movement into a solid gold case and bracelet.But if you need a tool watch, just get a G-Shock so you don't care about it banging into shit all the time.

Thoughts on the Ronde Solo? Eyeing as my next potential watch. I dont like the Santos, and while I like tanks I don't think I could see myself wearing it often enough.
>>18696694Not really my cup of tea. It's just a regular round watch and doesn't really have anything about it that would make it special, unlike Cartier's more signature designs.Don't sleep on the Tank as a casual watch, though. The strap makes all the difference. On a polished gator skin strap, yeah, it's for a tuxedo, but on a taupe Epsom leather strap, it's a totally casual watch.
>>18696694Neither good nor bad, def a woman's watch.Reminds me of NOMOS in another way, the proportions are off, lugs too short instead of too long, bezel too thick and flat.
>>18696694also the strap is too close to the case, yet not curved.What's up with that?
>>18696694>>18696700ok, the back is not round like the front, so the strap sits under the bezel and too close, weird weird.Seems like nitpicking, but it's alll about details.
>>18696677>wrist-fedoraYeah a basic watch is the fedora equivalent, normies really look down on people that go and on about not paying stupid money for muh heritage
>>18696700>>18696702The steel bracelet model is the same story, so maybe its a deliberate design choice? I think the gap looks bad on the steel bracelet, but it doesn't bother me on the strap. I also like the short lugs, and the mix of roman numerals and arabic for the 24h numbers. They seem to be a pretty good price in the used market, so I figured there was stuff people didn't like about them and wanted to hear others' opinions.
>>18696703I'm all about best bang for your buck, GADA one and done, you know what i mean. Affordable luxury.
>>18696694The Ronde Solo is to Cartier what Armani Exchange is to Armani. Literal mall shitter. Don't buy that crap, even a gold plated Tank Must is better than this.
>>18696705I don't like the font mix of roman and arabic numeral eitherIt doesn't make sense because the arabic is 24 hours dial, not even the minutes. The roman numerals are too big too.And the track would be better on the outer part of the dial, so the minute hand can actually point at it... Very flawed design overall.
>>18696705minute track associated to 24 hours marking hurts my autism.
>>18696663>I'm poor and I have no idea what I'm talking about
>>18696663Listen man i am a poor fag with lots of cope but please don't spam it here. 5k$ watch is like my max for the year and 500$ watches are my beaters.

>>18696720Cute i would love if they put a day window within the stop watch for the lolz. it would be barely legible but it would still be lined up with the 12.
>>18696720We don't talk about the Reverso ITT. One of our regular posters had a bad experience with a Reverso owner and he's still trying to process his deep psychological trauma.
Hypothetical is it easy to replace the bracelet(stainless) if it's all beat to shit or do i have to go out of my way to buy from the manufacturer to retain the value?
>>18696131Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. I own one since around 1987 and it still works fine. It runs as precise as a random casio if not better. Batteries last very long and Swatch Stores repace them for free. I once had to replace the strap. Cheap replacements are available from China at about 2 to 3 $, and the one I received is surprisingly good, btw.
>>18696730That very much depends on the watch. Some watches have very specific end link shapes that the aftermarket does not supply. Common watches, like Rolexes or Omegas, have a healthy aftermarket for bracelets.You might be able to find counterfeit parts that fit but, again, that depends on the watch. Buying a replacement bracelet from the manufacturer will cost a bomb. In some cases, the cost of buying another version of the same watch for the bracelet is less than the cost of the bracelet itself.Now, any replacement part will kill the re-sale value, but you can mitigate the loss by at least supplying the original bracelet when you resell it, even if it is beat to shit.
>>18696736That makes more sense.
>>1869669424hr track ruins it. Too boring. Get a Pasha
>>18696738did you know that Gerard Genta (from Rolex) made the Pasha for an acid tongued arab in the 1930s?
>>18696746I thought the Arab made it for Rolex who then sold it to Cartier. Thanks for the correction
This is all you need.
>>18696738The Pasha is a good choice for a round Cartier, though the older references from the 80s and 90s are cooler than the current. You can get a gold Pasha starting around 8k USD.
>>18696746Yes we were all in that thread yesterday where the guy embarrassed himself.
