I can already smell shit
It grows on meA feature i particularly like is rhodium plated markers, very shinyClasp is a bit too big for me(and i guess watch in general could be smaller)
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.

I've decide to cure myself from this watch SICKNESSI'm not wearing a watch for the next month and not looking at them.Wish me luck.
Kofé time.
>>18698813The ultimate cope watch
>>18698868Yes.
>>18698858Tudor is kind of in a weird transition period right now, especially the BB54 but it goes for other models as well>They announced they're actively planning and tooling up to make every watch in the lineup METAS certified but it's going to take time, so even though they just put out cool new BB54s in the nice blue color they're not METAS yet so they'll already be out of date in a year or 2>BB58 GMT has a new GMT movement you just know they're eventually going to put in the BB Pro to slim it down, so you can't buy the BB Pro yet. But Rolex just discontinued the Pepsi GMT Master 2, so you know they also have to be cooking up more BB58 GMT colors, so you have to wait on that, too.>They only just got T-fit clasps on most of the watches, if you bought a Tudor in the last few years depending on the model you may have missed out on that.>Even if they didn't have all these issues you know almost every new watch they have tanks on the secondary market so waiting a year or so could get you the same watch 50% offTudor is the king of making you feel like you have to wait a little longer to buy. It never totally feels like a good time.
shitters.
>>18698885>Tudor is the king of making you feel like you have to wait a little longer to buy. It never totally feels like a good time.Except for those poor fucks who buy a Tudor and then four months later Tudor releases an updated version that addresses the one thing the buyer disliked about the watch.
>>18698874Looks like a Russian shitter.i.e.: IT'S GOOD
>>18698874what a retarded name - naut is from ναύς which is a ship. It's been historically combined with other terms to signify a vessel or commandeering of one in other domains, like astronaut. But saying hydronaut is just like saying a water seaman.
>>18698903And you'd be the expert on water semen.
>>18698908Damn if it helps you hope with having it on your hand
>>18698903By that logic astronaut is space spaceman

>>18698990So cosmonaut is space ship?
>>18698991If any more Greeks enter Japan that watch would be snatched right off that ledge as you were taking the picture.
>>18698998Greece has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe by now. The crime index is lower than germany, Belgium, france, italy, spain etc. Plus, 60% of the crime and 90% of burglaries are committed by gypsies (2% of the population). So if you remove gypsies, Greece is safer than Japan. Call us anything you want, but we're far from being thieves.
wtf is the difference between the cartier santos, santos dumont, and panthere? They all look like the same fuckin watch in different sizes. Which is even more crazy because each one of those has its own different sizes.
>>18699018
I want to get the explorer in 36mm but I'm not crazy about wearing it on the bracelet and all the straps for it are kinda meh
>>18699023>I want to get the NPC of NPC watchesSometimes I still wonder how people can be like this.
>>18699023> I want to get the explorer in 36mm
>>18699023I've been thinking lately, maybe a 34mm OP is actually a better choice now? 34mm dodges the ugly kitkat markers at 3 6 and 9 and it comes in a lot of good colors.
>>18698802TFW I'm a retard at telling time at a glance. Even with something like this I don't want to be counting little dashes and lines. Why cant these faggot watch companies just put a pocket watch railroad dial on a wristwatch?!

What size do small wristed bros wear? I'm 16.2cm and debating if the srpe51 is good or not. Internet says you should only look at the lug-to-lug measurement but in think the size and design of the dial matters too.

>>18699174It's a fucking retarded question because wrist circumference doesn't say anything about the shape of your wrist. It could be extremely flat or extremely round.Go to a store, try some watches and see for yourself.And don't buy a Seiko for fuck's sake. It's pretty much a brand for indians at this point. Are you indian anon?

>>18699185e? It's just a known fact that greeks always pay and have had the best hospitality (φιλοξενία) since ancient times. Implying that greeks steal is just so far removed from reality that I had to say something. Nobody said greece is the best country in the world.

>>18699189The Greek culture, such as it is, hasn’t existed for eons. The area is just inhabited by Turks. Real Greeks were bred out of existence long ago. They actually had light hair, light eyes and fair skin before they went extinct, if you can believe it.At this point, Greek culture is about as real as Atlantis.

Which one of these three should I get?I'm divided on the gold (definitely plated) vs. "silver" (presumably the natural stainless steel). My current watch is burnished stainless.I'm generally a fan of paler golds over richer ones, and the one on the leather strap looks paler in this shot, but the website (https://mirai-sougaku.jp/products/smw003a which has more reference photos) makes me wonder if it's just a trick of the lighting.

>>18699228I broke you.
>>18699208I wonder if Mr Ibe tested for that scenario.
>>18699234You’re posting from a nursing home, Ruprecht. The only relevant matter is whether the nurses are being nice with you. Are they? Did they clean your asian watch from poop?
>>18699239Sing more for me please.

>>18699220>They actually had light hair, light eyes and fair skin before they went extinct, if you can believe it.Weird because that contradicts descriptions of themselves (Socrates for example was short bald and tan). Maybe it's a case of you being insecure and anglo and trying to co-opt some imaginary glory.

>>18699352Inb4 you don't have the guts to actually put your nice expensive watch in shit.
>>18699372Turks are mostly Greeks who think they're are asian nomads. Everyone in the vicinity looks somewhat similar. Ancient people looked close to their modern counterparts. For Socrates specifically we even have his ugly face in a bust. There are physical descriptions from his contemporaries too.
>>18699383$90 is expensive to you? I know this thread is mostly poors, but damn dude....
>>18699382Definitely KOFE TIME my man!
https://x.com/Swatch/status/2054258629314826508/video/finally something official from swatchi love the colors, but giving it the ability to pop in n out is going to make it thick which turns me off
>>18699222Very sexy, like some obscure 60's skindiver but very nicely made.
>>18699389$90 is definitely a lot of money for you if you're buying fake IWC.
>>18699410you're good with colorsyou got zest in the tank
>>18699227Just lightning for sure. Always get the watch with the bracelet if there's an option. Stainless is more versatile and works better imo.
That will be $400 plus tip
>>18699444If you actually cannot see why this is worth $400, maybe you should find other hobbies than horology.
>>18699429>fake IWCproof?
They're cute. Might grab one to use as a desk clock. Too bad it's not quartz.
>>18699446>maybe you should find other hobbies than horology.They do. They squat in this thread and try to make the lives of people who want to talk about watches miserable.
>>18699410>>18699444>>18699452is the broad stroke idea these are meant to be kitschy backpack charms or asian school girl accessories? I'm just trying to grasp the overall commercial trajectory here besides easy PR to the masses
>BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN !!!!!!!!!lmao at the seething
>>18699410Tf is this shit. No one's gonna buy it.Royal Oak Sonichu Medallion
they are called pop because you can pop it in your ass
>>18699462KekAP scared of damaging their own brand image by having thousands of broke ass niggas wearing plastic royal Oaks on gram so they made it a fucking necklace instead
>>18699459The Swatch Pop was a thing from the 1980s. You could wear it as a necklace or around your wrist by popping the watch itself into various holders.I think it's pretty smart on AP's part that they can still get more market visibility but the only actual Royal Oak WATCHES are made by AP. Swatch can make these necklace things.
>>18699446hope you're at least getting paid
>>18699464>Bittercel demonstrates once again that he is fixated at the anal stage of psychosexual development.
>>18699468Passive income bro. I'm literally constantly getting paid, whether I'm awake or asleep. I can make six figures spending all day in the garden watching the birds.
>>18699469i'm not joking. in france they call it pop royale. look it up.
>>18699469you spend your entire days in these threads you miserable greek immigrant. gtfo and find a wife
>>18699459Yes. They want to ride the Labubu hype train.It's just a fun colorful plastic shitter. It won't hurt AP's image while being faithful to the Royal Oak's design. Very smart move.Obviously anons ITT will hate it because they're mostly joyless cynical millenials. I don't expect any of you to "get it".
>people were excited for watches and niggas lined up 5 days in advance>turns out to be some shitty plastic backpack charmLMAO, how many stores are going to get shot up by hood rats after they got bamboozled and paid 500 bucks for a cracker jack toy?
>>18699472>>18699474Not sure the point of all this samefagging. I can't imagine someone who actually owns any watches would ever do it. What do you think, Bittercel?
>>18699482$400 is nothing. if it's not 15mm thick and wears decently I'm gonna cop one, the timing is perfect for summer
>>18699475Yes, exactly - it’s Labubu-like. But which Labubu fan (~ 12-18 year old kids) wants to or can spend €400 on a pendant watch? That’s the price of a state-of-the-art new Apple Watch but that’s an actual watch, not a toy.
>>18699482you smell like shit from 10 meters away
>>18699487You're going to wear it around your neck?
Will I be able to get a 16202 at retail and take it home immediately if I walk into the boutique wearing the Royal Pop and a Labubu around my neck, so they know right away that I’m a true connoisseur?
>>18699489400 eurobucks is CHEAP AS FUCK for something with the AP name on it.It's a fashion accessory for urbanite trendy zoomers living in NYC, London, Paris or Tokyo.It's made for people who already know AP from social medias and celebrities, can't afford a Royal Oak (and refuse to buy a fake, which is something only broke zoomers from flyover states do), but have no problem throwing 700 €/$ on a pair of Loewe sneakers.Swatch/AP will sell millions of those shitters.
>>18699491The fact that you spent a little time in MSPaint is not surprising. The post you chose to take credit for is. So you actually are the Bittercel obsessed with Whoretadello?
>>18699499My question is boring and technical.Will wearing it around your neck provide enough movement to keep the movement wound?
>>18699499This shit is so fucking ugly.
>>18699475Agreed. It’s well done but the price is steep.
>>18699501No, it's a manual wind movement.
>>18699501Almost definitely not. You'd have to sway violently side to side or side step violently like you're playing basketball or something to even move the rotor.
>>18699499The only one of these that looks decent is the dark blue with a light blue bezel, but it's small seconds so as a pocket watch it hangs sideways.
>>18699508>so as a pocket watch it hangs sideways.There used to be a thing called nurse's watches that would hang upside down. A nurse pinned it to her scrub dress and when she flipped it up to read the time or take a pulse, it would be right side up.
>>18699510There used to be a thing called being a faggot gaylord and that's what you are if you buy this horse shit.
>>18699500>can’t tell a phone screenshot from a computer picturestupid dumbfuck
>>18699512Awww, you thought you could actually get an AP and it's a necklace clock and you're having a little hissy fit. Sad!
>>18699517This is now the third time Swatch has done this and the pattern is always the same:>People who already own the original and didn't have to stretch their finances to get it.Hey, this is cool. I'll pick up a couple.>People who are currently saving up to buy the original, had to buy the original on credit, and/or can't afford the original at all.This is a TRAVESTY!!! The brand has LITERALLY been thrown into the mud! Guys, I'm literally shaking right now!
>>18699410>>18699444>>18699452>>18699499I think it's geniusIt's not a cope for pakis. It's a fun accessory that lives alongsides actual AP watches, while also not downgrading the brand. It's also targetted to zoomers and women, which are the biggest unexplored market for luxury watch brands.+ it's ceramic and automatic. Great product (unlike the Blancpain one that was shit and lazy)
>>18699524>+ it's ceramic and automatic.It's hand wound.
>>18699537even better
>2 bar water resistance>no bracelet/strap available>420 eurI was actually excited what a fucking disappointment
>>18699524"Bioceramic" is just code for plastic.
>>18699546I'm sure the bracelet option to wear it as a wristwatch is sold separately, and it'll probably be expensive considering they have extra lanyard rings sold separately for $45 each.
>>18699524reddit is that way
>>18699546>>no bracelet/strap available>I was actually excited what a fucking disappointmentYou thought you could buy a cope watch and pretend you could afford an AP. They didn't give you that and it's a good thing.
>>18699551>pretend you could afford an APwith a fucking rainbow coloured plastic thingy? I was hoping I could buy a watch at least, they didn't give me that and thats a bad thing
>>18699554>I was hoping I could buy a watch at leastF91w, stop sobbing.
>>18699524>It's also targetted to zoomers and women, which are the biggest unexplored market for luxury watch brands.i agree there's gold to be had here, but i feel like most of the people that will actually buy this are teenage white girls and asian chicks under 30
>>18699444>plus tipCalm down, buddy.
>>18699524>It's also targetted to zoomers and womenZoomers and young women are starting to wear watches a lot more actually, lots of them are dooming about social media, ai and technology in general, and consumerism, which is funny because their response is to just buy more stuff. They also are buying stuff like cd's and shitty digital cameras. Yesterday when I was grocery shopping I saw a hot skinny zoomer girl wearing some kind of cartier tank looking watch.
>>18699139nuDaytonas look like ass
>>18699174It will be fine, Seikos where gold on small wrists
>>18699567>Zoomers and young women are starting to wear watches a lot more actually>startingYou mean they have interacted a bit with the population and keep the status quo. Only a bunch of millennial halfwits got memed into the idea that it's better to get a phone from the pocket every time they want to see what time it is.
>>18699499>400 eurobucks is CHEAP AS FUCK for something with the AP name on it.CONSOOM
>>18699546I mean if it's an actual 2 ATM and not a "watch ATM" then it's fine
I think it looks great. Probably gonna snatch one. Always wanted a royal oak.this is the next best thing.
>looks great>next best thing to a royal oakNot true
>>18699570the bezels on these look like absolute shit after you wear them for 2 days
>>18699573Most of the millenials I see are wearing smart watches. Gen Z and younger don't wear those
>>18699593It's not a royal oak though.
Accept it watchfags
>>18699598Zoomers don’t even wear watches at all.
Watch thread one
How thick are the swatch APs?
im not a watch guy (or a /fa/ guy so idk if this has been asked before but i'll do it anyway) but have gotten into gshocks over the past month or twowent 5610u to 5000u and im seriously considering ordering a b5600 or bx5600 whatever it is cause i really like the MIP display but the 5610u just feels cheap compared to the 5000u without that steelback, and the bx5600 is the same "cheap" 5610u construction from what i've readdoes anyone know if they're gonna do a 5000u with a MIP display someday? cause i think that'd be my perfect watch
>>18699626You’re autistic
>>18699627i mean probably but not sure why that applies to my question
>>18699630Because you’re asking about gshocks. Those watches are nerd watches. The same kids who used to run to class instead of walk like everyone else or had those big Velcro binders.
>>18699601same dial pattern, same unique legendary genta design shape, same size, same thickness, swiss made, same AP logo, same markers, same hands, same aligned screws---it's the next best thing. It's also much lighter. Always wanted a royal oak so here we go.
>>18699638idk i looked at the /fa/ archives the other day and theres a lot of gshock posts. sorry if i offended your sensibilities (i'm not sorry)
>>18699640yeah the only problem is you have to wear it on a fucking noose. behold the iconic sports watch
>>18699640oh and I almost forgot. don't wash your hands in it. they could have made ultimate holiday watch but no, they did a useless pocket shitter with 20 meter (so in reality maybe survives a splash) water resistance.
>>18699647>>18699652well if that helps you sleep at night. I on the other hand will be rocking my AP
it's over... it actually is fucking over.... >90 hour power reserve OVERRRR
>>18698802It’s getting to the point of where I want very specific things. I’m not sure if that is a good thing. I have 20 watches rn and I feel like I should sell 5 and roll them into one larger piece. I’m thinking a Muller, Hublot or Genta.
How do you deal with metal watch bands pulling arm hair?
>>18699626As long as you don’t care about functions like a heart-rate monitor or anything like that, it’s ultimately completely irrelevant, right? Just take what you like. No need to "optimize" a standard G-Shock, which is more like a quirky accessoire
>>18699662you're right but i really do like both the steelback and heavier weight on the 5000u and the MIP display on the bx5600 which is why i wish there was one that had both
>>18699656judging off your 5 (exceptional) pieces, I feel like a hublot would vary up your collection. I have 17 watches and it struck me the other day that they're all kind of the same, I have no variety. without seeing your others you're in danger of that too me thinks these are real problems, real serious first world problems
>>18699667WHAT'S IN THE BOX

>>18699320>thbSurely you aren't a SEA monkey?
So we all agree this collab is a colossal disappointment and a pathetic cop out right
>>18699706I unironically want an Audemars Plastic fight me
>>18699244so how much did you pay for it?
>>18699706I'm guessing the target audience is young adults with a bit of money to spend chasing trends, not watch nerd uncs like us. I really don't understand the appeal of it at all.
>>18699244>fakeevery watch posted here over $269 msrp is a fake cause the resident poors can't handle people with money using their precious anime website
>>18699706It's just a cash grab for both companies, and AP is probably making a killing on licensing. The top executives over there probably need to re-carpet the 3rd floor of their yacht and buy one of their daughters a new stable for her horses. As an oldfag I appreciate the utility of selling out more and more; just sign these papers and your bank account balance goes up. EZ
>>18699706well, I for one am gonna buy a real, official AP watch. You can just be bitter about it. Always wanted an authentic Swiss Made AP watch.
It is time for some kofe.
>>18698802>he owns an IWC
GIMMIE!
>>18699770some people call it the best finished case, hands, dial and marker dive watch on the market. At first I laughed it off but then I realised it's true.
>>18699667Yea I think it’s a fine line between having a theme and just owning the same watch several times over. But if you like a certain style it’s nice to stick with it and go with what works and what you like. Still want a wave classic with the diamonds even though I have two already.But overall I agree that it’s good to have variety. But I’d love to see your collection. Btw this was the hublot I almost bought a couple weeks ago. It’s not as out of theme as you would think.
>>18699446You cant see why either. You just respect anything fancy brands do. From afar, because you'll never afford it. So you spew that 'horology' shit. Sad.
>>18699475Loyal to a brand you dont own. What a faggot you are.
>>18699593No you wont. None of you will spwnd $400 on that.
>>18699769What is this graph attempting to show me?
>>18699667>exceptional pieces>me thinksWhat a fucking queer
>>18699656A brand new Admiral just dropped.
>>18699782Profit margins per company most likely.
>rolexmaxxingSure, whatever.
>>18699689No, I’m actually the dude in that AI pic (he used a photo of me in an adidas shirt as the basis for it- that guy is Credor Anon).The image is just a random menswear photo I found online (Instagram) that includes the Tank in it.
>>18699768based
My nigga Tom Holland wearing a nice Patek Philippe perpetual calendar
>>18699793Then why would associating the brand with Apple, Samsung, Casio, and Timex be a positive thing? I would understand if it was a brand recognition thing, but bragging about profit margins seems very gauche for a fashion brand. I would want whatever brand I’m shilling to be least profitable as possible. That means craftsmanship is the draw rather than a logo. Artisanship tends to have very low margins, but mass marketed slop doesn’t.Of course this assumes Rolex is actually artisanal.
>>18699784I saw this. its cool till you realize there 15-35k usd + and 39mm. and you can get there vintage counterparts in a automatic for less than a grand with gold in a lot of cases. The one in the photo I paid like 950. The gold is worth more than that.still miles better than the legit trash they used to put out.
>>18699814>>18699814>Of course this assumes Rolex is actually artisanal.I've got bad news buddy.
>400 usd for plastic garbageAnd people will buy this crap.Swatch is the king of marketing.
>>18699706>Swatch actually made AP desirable they can't keep getting away with it
>>18699706You are all getting so worked up that AP is making an entry level gimmick watch to get kids into your exclusive and beloved “horology.” The swatch collab doesn’t prevent you from buying any watches you want to.>it looks stupidYes it does but that doesn’t affect you in any way. It’s target demographic is probably kids and young people to get then interested.
>40 years old basement dweller Seiko-wearer living in Colorado or Poland is mad that AP and Swatch are making a plastic watch
>>18699855Yes because all those kids will go out in a few years and buy real 50K royal Oaks lmao
>>18699855>kidsNo kids are spending $400 on a pocket watch lmao
>>18699867By kids I meant Zoomers and Millenial 20- 30 somethings who likely browse Reddit. I am sure the typical luxury watch enthusiast is much older in age compared to that.
>>18699867You're woefully underestimating the amount of money kids have these days. Hell, I haven't been a kid in twenty years and even I could afford 200 dollar sunglasses.
>>18699867Did you never have a job as a teenager?
what do (you) think about modded casios? I think if you DIY it they have a lot of sovl, but paying someone else to do it for you is reddit
>>18699887and also on that note, what about DIY custom seiko (fakeo) builds from aliexpress parts?
>>18699626They've already released a full metal MIP, I'd say a MIP version of the GW-5000 is inevitable at some point
Gentlemen.
Kofe time
>>18699842it's an official , real, swiss made mechanical AP watch.
>>18699842Rolex is the king of marketing, it's not even close
>>18699909A not serviceable mechanical watch.
lots of chicken tacos yesterday
>>18699935SAAR
