>>18701110>a cheap vintage one?
>>18701142you can find ones produced in the 70s for quite cheap, especially polished/refurbished ones. I'd consider them a 'good watch for a charlatan' because a charlatan would want something that seems fancy, a rolex, but get a cheap common one.

>>18701168Is it still a Cartier if it utterly fails at the single primary function of a watch? Or is it just a bunch of Cartier parts?
>>18701177I posted that watch in this thread for YEARS (2022 I bought it) and no one even acknowledged me at all until I started intentionally trolling with it (“Cartier is most masculine watch” etc) and being disruptive.

>>18701203>>builds a community of watch enthusiasts tied by their disdain for Rolex>>one day, says he has bought his grail watch>>it's a GMT Master II PepsiClassic "watch influencer" formula.
>be biggest watch influencer>makes videos about literally every watches in every price point>makes millions selling Doxa and fucking Longines to poorfags>his daily watch is a RolexI love this
>>18701203I don't know if it's more of an integrity problem with the influencer or a problem with the YouTube algorithm. YouTube boosts watch content that mentions rolex, and it bosts it whether you're praising rolex, shitting on rolex, or just mentioning them flippantly for the algorithms. So you're actively incentivized to mention rolex if you want your channel to grow.
>>18701097Thoughts on the legend diver 39mm? I am between a used one of these and a Mido ocean star GMT 40.5mm. Of course the longines is a better watch, but I feel the Mido would be easier to dress down plus I would unironically use the GMT function. Which would /fa/ recommend?
>>18701203>>18701211>>18701214do "people" actually watch watch influencers? who the fuck cares what some faggot on youtube thinks?just buy watches you like its really that simple
>>18701236The Longines is a great watch, but it wears a lot larger than the numbers suggest. It's got no external bezel so it appears to be all-dial and it's got a lug-to-lug of 47mm.Unless you have a huge wrist, I'd opt for the 36mm version.
>>18701203I like Rolex too but they're overrated.
>>18701238Ok thanks for the advice. I prefer smaller watches as well, however I am just not a fan of the 36mm's blue dial. I'll keep looking in that case because I do not have huge wrists lol
>>18701225You're missing the point.These guys handle hundreds of watches every year. More than you'll ever see in your entire life.They wear Rolex because they're the best watches. Simple as.
>>18701243It's both. They have to mention Rolex because no other brand outside of maybe Patek gets you any kind of traction on the YouTube algorithm.>Review of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 42mm gets no views, while>Does the 42mm Blancpain Fifty Fathoms mog the Rolex Submariner?!gets thousands of viewsThey know it's totally disingenuous, but making content is their job and they need engagement.

I'm too much of an independent thinker!OK, that's cool too. Every watch enthusiast goes through that phase.>Rolex!>Fuck Rolex! Omega and Grand Seiko!>Actually no, JLC and Blancpain and Cartier!>Actually wait, Patek and VC!>Hold up! H. Moser and Laurent Ferrier and Armin Strom!>You know what?

The reason so few Rolexes are posted here is because, once a man buys a Rolex, he realizes he's solved watches and leaves. He may drop by every now and then to check up on /wt/ but he'll never waste his time posting here at every hour of every day.
>>18701162Luftwaffe pilot watch obviously.
>>18701236It looks great but you can't turn the bezel while it's on your wrist so it's pointless.

Any good dupes for this? Its so hard to find a gold watch with a purple face
>>18701097You need to stop making threads and if not, you need to stop doing these roundups of bullshit regarding the names you've assigned to random people. NO ONE is on the same page with any of this "news". You are a very sad virgin incel loser and everyone thinks you SUCK. You're celebrating the most annoying aspects of this board. Fuck you.
>>18701237People here care what other /fa/ posters think for some reason. This board is filled with insecure little bitches who have no confidence in themselves. They look to others for approval of their tastes.>Is, is this one okay?? I don't want to buy a watch that /wt/ will make fun of!! Guys? Is this watch approved??

>>18701162
>>18701385
Yep. This is definitely an incel jeet thread. It is an incel slav thread too.
Why is a silver finish not more popular? What if I want my kitschy /fa/ygala watch to be vampire and werewolf repellent?
>>18701396Kofe
>>18701440Silver FINISH, like the whole watch and dial and everything is silver, or actual silver metal cases and bracelets? Silver colored watches generally look like shit and are hard to read if everything is silver and white. It's good to have contrast.Silver jewelry in general has fallen out of style because it honestly sucks as a jewelry material. It oxidizes the way that bronze does so you can get a patina that may or may not look like shit and you have to clean it to make it shiny again. Also it can turn your wrist green. Also it doesn't hold engravings and stone settings as well as gold, not that that's a big deal for watchmaking usually.I think the only silver watch you can get today is the silver BB58? They say it's an alloy that's supposed to resist oxidation, but it still patinas. Some people like that. If you're into that you could do worse than a BB58. Otherwise just buy a white gold watch.
>>18701126>I'm not interested in what you have to say about horologyComments tend to have little impact upon the psyche when one is planning on being interested in what the commenter has to say prior to him saying it.
>>18701444> BB58 mentioned I thought about this claim for a minute and I think you're right. In all seriousness, think about it. Why does this watch specifically matter? It's the first TUDOR that pops into mind whenever the brand is mentioned. TUDOR has been known for 100 years by now of being the quite Literal entry point to Luxury watches. It's the gatekeeper, the price point-decider on what is considered Luxury. That's a huge thing, no matter how you look at it.Anything below TUDOR is considered "casual" and entry level, everything TUDOR and after is considered Luxury.-Not Longines-Not Oris-Not Nomos-Not Sinn-Not Christopher Ward-Not TAG HeuerHell, not even Grand Seiko, Omega or Breitling- THE gatekeeper to LUXURY is TUDOR, it has been established since 1926 and it will forever remain that way. If there's not Tudor, there's nothing keeping the floodgates closed and in check.Everyone (everyone) who's honest with you and knows about watches, if you ask them:>"Genuinely, what's the One ONE AND DONE watch for someone who simply wants a nice piece for Every single occasion but also wants to wear one everyday and Never have to think about watches again?"if you've been slightly into watches for more than a week, you will answer>"TUDOR"in Caps, firm and unshaken. Because it is the only answer. Not the only Correct answer, but the Only answer in general.
>>18701447>TUDORSo...you CAN'T afford a Rolex? Got it.
>>18701447>mention BB58>not even talking about the watch really, only because there's a silver one and we're talking about silver>still get the copypastaAutistic shitlords were a mistake.
>>18701447Longines has as much cred as Tudor, history wise and everything. It's the new entry point, now that it regained its relevance.Omega and Breitling are higher in the hierachy.All the other ones you mentionned are inferior.
>>18701444>Silver FINISH, like the whole watch and dial and everything is silver, or actual silver metal cases and bracelets?Silver case and bracelets. Maybe silver face markers and hands on a darker face.>Silver jewelry in general has fallen out of style because it honestly sucks as a jewelry material. It oxidizes the way that bronze does so you can get a patina that may or may not look like shit and you have to clean it to make it shiny again.I suppose patina people also aren’t silver people. Very sad. Patina is based.>Also it can turn your wrist green.Interesting I did not know that. Weird.>I think the only silver watch you can get today is the silver BB58? They say it's an alloy that's supposed to resist oxidation, but it still patinas. Some people like that. If you're into that you could do worse than a BB58.Sad state of affairs tbqh, but I’m a humble poor.>Otherwise just buy a white gold watch.White gold is for class rings and wedding bands.
>>18701454If anything they have MORE cred than Tudor. Or at least they would if Swatch wasn't operating them as a zombie brand positioned just below Omega. They do the same shit with Tissot, all these are historical companies that were peers at one time but now they are just rungs on a corporate ladder that enthusiasts step on as they climb up.
>>18701454>SWATCH>more cred than IN HOUSE TVDORHAHAHAHAhahahhaua
The only watch brand that matters is the one that Japanese women like and respond to. This watch (pic related) was the only one that mi**-san said is cool and wanted to try it on. Tsumari, Tudor is the only brand that actually matters in this world.If your watch does Not get you Jap Pussy, then you got the wrong watch. Simple as.

Lads I dropped my seagull and now its not running anymore. It's fully wound and its not releasing the energy anymore. First repair shop I went to refused to look at it when I told him it was chinese.
>>18701561seagull bros....
>>18701526looks rather cheap desu
>>18701472You don't get any pussy, faggot.
>>18701484You need to fucking moisturize.
>>18701526>chadCringe.
>>18701561What kind of moron watchmaker needs to be told a Seagull is Chinese? And then if it came down to that why did you tell him if it would affect him looking at it? Seagull makes good, repairable movements so he's not a professional.Doesn't really make any sense. You made it up to shit on Chinese watches. You don't own one.
>>18701573Bad access to spare parts.Chinese factories have little to no repair and aftersales infrastructure. The usual suppliers watchmakers rely on have no stock for chinese movement parts and no network to even buy them.So if the watchmaker is one of these guys who blanket replace all parts that typically experience wear and tear, he won't take your watch. The time spent on trying to find someone with parts access, and the possible costs associated will be higher than the watch's price so they fully expect you to refuse the service quote. No need to waste time on a diagnosis and research for parts you might not even be able to buy if the customer is going to refuse anyway because his watch costs less than a service.
>>18701581What are you even talking about? Seagull literally sells their movements on their website, and their movements are also all over aliexpress. They're also ETA clones and parts can be swapped freely between them. You can also just pop a new movement from aliexpress for 1/4 the cost of having it serviced.
>>18701583I'm not saying it's a good reasoning, I'm saying it's the usual reasoning for watchmakers>I'm using this one supplier for everything>they don't have parts for this caliber>therefore I won't work on this caliber because I don't want to use another supplier for a one-time purchase that small
>>18701561Sad to hear that, anon. Try ordering a new movement and then find a watchmaker and call him and ask if he could swap movements for you. You could try doing it yourself also.

Why haven't some of these luxury brands tried to make atomic wristwatches yet? Or have they? I mean actual atomic timekeeping on your wrist, not merely listening to the broadcast NIST atomic time signal.
>>18701652The smallest atomic clock that's being developped is 1 cubic centimeter and is still in the design stage, and would not work on the sort of battery a wristwatch can contain.And watchmakers have long understood that high accuracy is never ever worth the R&D costs. Buyers do not care enough to justify it.
>>18701670nice>>18701678timex bros...
>>18701682>would not work on the sort of battery a wristwatch can containwhat sort of power draw are we talking here? AAA, 18650, or wall outlet?
>>18701573>Seagull makes good, repairable movementsGood? I don't know if I'd go that far, their watches are known to crap out in a few years. Repairable? Sure. But your problem there is the service charge is probably going to be greater than what you paid to buy the watch. You almost may as well throw it away and buy a new one.

The second feature I get the most use out of from my digital watches is the hour chime, with the first being a timer to make my tea with. Lucky Harvey is a terrible brand name but they toned down their branding and it honestly looks kinda good. And now they offer a face I really enjoy for their automatic hour chime watch. They say it's an in house movement but I read that it's a modified chronograph somewhere? It's priced kind of steep at 3k EUR.

It just dawned on me; Tudor is actually better than Rolex.Tudor is a master chronometer while Rolex is "superlative". What does that mean in practise? Rolex doesn't even do third party certification on them, instead they do their own testing and deem it "better".I'm so glad I went with my BB54, after getting it, I don't even think about Rolex. In a world where Rolex screams status, Tudor whispers taste. A Rolex is the billboard of success, but Tudor? It’s the secret handshake of those who know better. You pay less, yet get a sibling forged in the same fires—Swiss precision, timeless design, and none of the "look-at-me" hysteria. A Tudor is a poet's watch; a Rolex, a salesman’s pitch. Why spend double to impress strangers when you could spend less and impress yourself?

I’ve tried a Land Dweller and some OPs 36 for the first time today.They look and feel amazing on the wrist and now I want oneYou faggots lied to me, Rolexes are great
>>18701749Hell yesKeep it up poo manHappy Saturday everyone >>18701770I'll take Bullshit That Didn't Happen for $500 Alex
>>18701778Not everyone visits this same thread every day for years on end like some of you seem to. Some of us make a post here or there then leave.

>>18701804Whats so hard to believe about a guy trying on some watches?
>>18701812if one of these snot heads walked into an AD, no one is letting them try on shit
>>18701804Someone should make that
>>18701770>Watch general was nicer two years ago. What happened?Nearly all the good posters were driven away by the toxicity.
New watchI love it and that's l that matters. Might buy a steel bracelet for it too, though.
>>18701161holy kek
>pocket watches are backThey never left.
>>18701894all that matters*fuck phoneposting
>>18701834poo anon will bring the fire backjust you watch
>>18701894Yeah thats a dope piece bro get an expensive steel bracelet for sure, Forstner has some sweet stuff anybody else got any reccs for a good steel bracelet?
>>18701940Thanks anon. I'm normally not much of an enjoyer of metal bracelets which is why I went for the NATO strap, but after buying the watch and wearing it throughout the day I do think a bracelet would make it more versatile for my usual outfits
sun's out macro lense is out
It's neat how the only brand of watches that has ever gotten me compliments is Casio. One guy spotted my duro back in 2020 and a girl spotted my NASA themed Casio Royale on a velcro strap.
>>18701954
>>18701957
>>18701956what other brands do you have, though? Maybe if you are comparing against entry level Seikos or Citizens, I could see people liking your Casios more. But If you wore a Rolex or AP half the time and a Casio the other half I guarantee the former would get more attention.Casios are great watches. Modded Casio Royales especially are very cool and people love them.
>>18701958
New watch that I just got in today. Wanted something that wore cool in this heat since it's already almost 90 degrees here.
>>18701957>>18701958But what if someone sees you wearing this and tries to grill you on your F1 knowledge? If you don't know anything wouldn't you be really embarrassed?
>>18701958what does the lume look like? it better be blue
>>18701956My wife gets compliments wearing an A168 when she goes to New York. There's kind of an 80s retro thing coming back among the hipsters there.
>>18701964i would immediately change the subject to GT cup or the Goodwood Hill Climb Shootout cause no one talks about F1 this season and then proceed to passively aggressively hate on Corvette for dominating this season because they ripped off the Ferrari 480 platform instead of sticking to their roots of front engine RWD shitboxes but it's working out for them cause they're passing Porsche GT3s like they're sitting still but BMW is still gaping everyone so it's still kind of a shit show

This guy posts pictures of feces on the internet because autistic children told him to. This guy's mentally ill. No one would ever willingly engage him in conversation.
>>18701974yeah I gotta read up on how to use it all. I'm embracing the 90's again.
>>18701966>My wife gets compliments wearing an A168 when she goes to New York.That's because people want to FUCK your wife.Women (even the ugly ones) get tons of compliments all the time because MEN ENJOY FUCKING WOMEN (even the ugly ones). They'll find the dumbest excuses to engage conversation and get a chance to FUCK them. If a woman wears a watch, just say "hey cool watch" and maybe she'll suck your dick, who knows?btw NEVER compliment another dude about his watch unless you're gay and you're certain he's gay.If you come to me and say "hey nice watch bro" I'll assume you're a fag and I'll ask you to be a fag somewhere else.
hi /wt/i need a dress watch for an upcoming work event. i'm not into watches and dont want to spend a lot of money, but i also want something that'll last a long time and that I can use for years. is pic related good?

>>18701987sweet, thanks man.
>>18701980Didn't ask.
>>18701981>is pic related good?You'd think it would be good and, on first glance, everything seems fine. But when you look closer, you'll see the flaw. See where it says, "Seiko" on the dial under the twelve o'clock? That's a dead giveaway that the watch is actually complete shit.
>>18701990And yet you still read my entire post HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>18701987>Slide rules are so basedI had a math teacher in high school who taught "History of Mathematics" as a 11th/12th grade elective. One of the most interesting classes I ever took at any level of education. We did a unit on slide rules and made our own as a class project.
I didn't actually.

>>18701249>...all I wear is my GarminI mean, it's not a lie.This is a big part of why traditional tool watches are dying (i.e. sports watches like divers, not sports watches like Royal Oaks) and dress watches are experiencing a resurgence.The only people wearing pilot's watches or divers or whatever are just Boomers and decompensating Gen-X'ers still trying to pretend that wearing a diver means they're sporty and adventurous.For me, at least, I got rid of my sports watches a long time ago. I literally never wore them anymore. I'd much rather wear a Cartier or Piaget, even casually.These days, all you need for a complete collection is a dress watch like a Tank or Calatrava, and a casual sports watch like an Hermes H08, a Royal Oak, or an Hublot Big Bang. You'll be wearing an Apple Watch or Garmin 80% of the time anyway.
>>18702014>You'll be wearing an Apple Watch or Garmin 80% of the time anyway.What? No, I won't, retard.
Can you shut the fuck up? Nobody fucking asked.
>>18702015Sorry, I misspoke, autist. No need to get upset. I didn't mean to say (You) specifically. It's the impersonal you, which is to say "One will be wearing an Apple Watch 80%.">But I won'tYes, I know. I know. In the same way that some guys still insist on wearing fedoras even though they are out of style and don't really go with their XXL Dragonball graphic tee-shirt; they get pissy when they're told fedoras are out of style.
>>18701573>You don't own one???>>18701594I see it seems to be half the value of the watch for a new st1902 movement. Is that worth it with labor for an install?This seagull is my most worn out of my whole pile.>>18701753I like bb54, but pick a BB54 or semen master? >>18702000If I mix edible and alcohol at the same time will it make me appreciate watches more
>>18702020smart watches are a fad
>>18702024Hell of a fad to have one single brand of smart watch (Apple) outsell the entire traditional watch industry nearly ten years ago and to never relinquish the crown.The simple fact is that the perception of the wristwatch has changed and been pushed even further in the direction of "jewelry for men". Hence the push towards towards more elegant designs that look better when you're going out than rough-and-tumble sporty designs.Speaking of going out, I have to go shit-shower-shave and get dressed. If I have time, I'll post a fit. Very casual, medium gray Saint Laurent suit with Ferragamo loafers. I think I'll wear my Santos-Dumont. It was a gift from my wife and she always notices when I wear it. Hopefully she won't notice I'm already drunk.
>>18702031>Hell of a fad to have one single brand of smart watch (Apple) outsell the entire traditional watch industry nearly ten years ago and to never relinquish the crown.yes, that is what a fad is. has nothing to do with value or quality, it's just a trend, and apple sheep hastily do whatever apple tells them too. people LOVE to look "connected" and "smart" and a smart watch is like shooting a gun into your ear screaming I AM VERY SMART AND CONNECTED

>>18702031>Very casual, medium gray Saint Laurent suit with Ferragamo loafers. I think I'll wear my Santos-Dumont.Based. Post fit. Have a good night out.>shit-shower-shaveWere you in the Army? I've never heard that term used by anyone who wasn't.
More watches with this feel? Ice blue is hnnnng.
>>18702039the Lange. Not even close. Put side by side, you can see how crude the Credor's proportions are. Seiko doesn't know anything about design, so they just throw shit against the wall in a million SKUs and hope that one hits. The size of the crown, thickness of the lugs, size of the logo, width of the hands, on the Seiko they're all wrong.
>>18702057What more "functionality" do I need strapped to my wrist? Just pull out your phone.
>>18702038>that is what a fad is.Minus the "short-lived" part. Fads are typically blink-and-you-miss-it, like the few months in the late 90s where 1930s swing music was popular.The smartwatch has been immensely popular for over a decade. That's not a "fad".I mean, you don't have to like it. I certainly don't and I refuse to wear one, but I'm not so fucking deluded or autistic as to think that everyone is going to eventually come around to my way of thinking. I still ride a motorcycle with a carburetor. I still carry a flip-phone. I still don't have any social media accounts. But I recognize that I'm bailing against the tide by choice, not sitting smugly thinking "You'll all come back, I know it."
>>18702039Once you've seen, worn, felt and owned a Credor, there's simply no going back.
>>18702014That's fine for people who like it, but one of the specific reasons I got into mechanical watches is because I'm tired of everything being disposable and everything has its own battery to manage and eventually either the software or hardware gets outdated or the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore and then you have to buy the new one. It's fucking whack. I like that there are products I can buy that, even if they cost a lot more, they'll keep going forever with minimal maintenance and I don't have to worry about ever needing to buy another one again.
>>18702101>there's simply no going back.Spoken like a true migrant.>>18702102I understand this, but since I got my Garmin, my perspective has changed. I don't want any mid-priced shitters. I don't want any tool watches. Yes, the Garmin is as disposable as the iPhone I replace every 5-6 years or so.However, the watches I keep are more special as a result. Some Seiko5 shitter is not interesting. A hand-finished independent like a Laurent Ferrier or Armin Strom is. Someone actually doing new things with mechanical watchmaking in terms of engineering or materials is interesting.If I had my druthers, I'd have my Apple Watch (which I don't actually consider a watch. I just wear it because it's useful) but my watch collection would be something like a gold Cartier Tank Normale, an Armin Strom Tribute1. These would be the watches I wear when I'm getting dressed up for a formal event. Classically styled, elegant, etc.Then there'd be a Bulgari Octo Finissimo or Hublot Big Bang. These are weekend watches, casual, the sorts of things you'd wear to an F1 race. Love or hate the Octo or the Big Bang, they're interesting.I think any watch I own from now on will have to fall in one of those two categories: classic dress watch or outrageous weekend watch.
>>18702106Is there a single smartwatch, garmin or otherwise, under 12mm thick? I don't like wearing anything much over 11mm thick anymore.
does anyone actually NEED more?
What does Luxury mean to you?
>>18702110If I remember correctly, the Applewatch 11 is less than 10mm thick.>>18702106I think an ideal collection, for thinness' sake would be- An Apple Watch with a sports strap and an Hermes leather strap- A Piaget Altiplano- A Bulgari Octo Finissimo
there are just too many Must Have brands, bros. I don't think a collection is complete without an El Primero, Any breguet, an octo finissimo, a BP, and a Lange. Without mentioning the casual mainstream ones. It's a difficult interest to have. You need at least 300K as disposable because you need that ONE indie brand as well, the high end ones.
>>18702128I think you just need a TVDOR and a weekdater desu. Maybe a breguet classique, true.
>>18702128>there are just too many Must Have brands, bros. I don't think a collection is complete without an El Primero, Any breguet, an octo finissimo, a BP, and a Lange. Without mentioning the casual mainstream ones.>It's a difficult interest to have. You need at least 300K as disposable because you need that ONE indie brand as well, the high end ones.You need to EXPERIENCE these, not own them. The classic example is the Speedmaster Pro. Great watch. Also, kind of sucks. Why own one if you hate it, just for the historical value? But definitely worth being able to experience so you can understand the fascination.My own experience with the Royal Oak is the same case in point. Totally historically significant watch, but of the two I've owned, they've been incredibly uncomfortable. Why should I own a watch that I don't want to wear?So I don't think anyone should own anything, but it's still worthwhile to go to watch meetups in-person and try stuff out so you can get a real feel for stuff instead of going by pictures online.
>>18702128There is not a single "must have" brand. You don't "have" to buy anything but what you like.
It's blowing my fucking mind that there were actually people waiting in front of swatch stores for a week waiting to buy a fuckin plastic pocket watch. Doesn't anyone have a fuckin job? It's all grown ass men you know aren't seriously buying a fuckin toy pocket watch for their personal use. This flipper hype shit is so fucking gay and retarded.
>>18702130>That's as ugly as a sausage factory, dudeLmao.Yeah, that guy's been trying to test the waters with that shitter. To see if /wt/ will hate it. I mean, the guy actually bought Louis Vuitton sneakers. He doesn't know what the fuck luxury is. He actually thinks it's about screaming how much money you "have" at all times.
>>18702130thanks for the passive aggressiveness. it's amazing that people like you exist. You're probably that guy who wore two masks and got tripple vaxxed. I can smell it from here.
>>18702138Please spell out for me what you think is passive-aggressive about that post. Be specific.You don't think family and legacy is important?
thoughts
>>18702142It's uninteresting on its own merits. As the supposed watch to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the brand, its very clear what Rolex thinks of Tudor and its customers. (spoiler: not fucking much)
>>18702142I'm not a fan of the dial's color on stainless steel. It would look a lot better in gold. Or with a different color dial.
>>18702097they're dying out and less people wear them every year. I'm not going to get into LE SEMANTICS AND LE TIMEFRAME of what the dictionary says a Fad is with a faggot hipster autist on a somalian dick sucking forum. they'll continue to subside as they already are and in half a dozen years they'll be another forgotten trinket in peoples' desk drawers
>>18702142i think there's a good watch in there somewhere
>>18702157>they're dying out and less people wear them every year.Got any proof?
>>18702097>I still ride a motorcycle with a carburetor. I still carry a flip-phone. I'm a power bottom.
>>18702161they're called having eyes and it's called going outside I only (rarely) see them on boomers and browns and occasionally asians
>>18702162lmfao, someone else owning a motorcycle upset you that much, eh, bittercel? does it soothe you to imagine everyone itt is also unemployed, also uneducated, and also spends hours per day masturbating to anime?
>>18702165Oh, so...no proof. "Trust me, bro." plus some racism. Got it. Cool.
>>18702167lol bro just walk outside amongst other people in a town that isn't your shit hole (population 364). sorry to ruin your constant posting in this thread that's clearly your home. I hardly ever see an iwatch in NY or LA anymore. proof: walking outside. it's a fad. it's dying. you're wrong. go watch some anime or something.
>>18702173>LA>NYtalk about dystopian shitholes.
>>18702174>"big cities are shitholes by default"I wonder if you know-
>>18701395>>18701405lol there's two gold American buffalos and a gold American eagle in that pic I thought you dweebs combed through the fine details on every picture like there's no tomorrow cause you all live online all dayyou're getting soft and really pushing the edgelord act a little too muchnot to mention there's $70k+ in that picture alone
>>18702174>RRRRREEEEEEEEE MY PO DUNK DUMPSTER TOWN IS ALL THAT MATTERS RREEEEEEEEEEEEE EVERYWHERE ELSE IS UNSAFE
>>18702000>>18702004how the FUCK did I miss these posts? These are significant.I wish you both a nice sunday.
>>18702142The case is ugly and doesn't match the dial.
>>18702021Just buy a new one, less hassle. How many people do you think service their Seiko 5s? Or just get a better watch.
Fresh one.
>>18702260King
>>18702094>What more "functionality" do I need strapped to my wrist?Step counter, heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, sleep analysis, etc. The health features of smart watches are legit. Everything else is terminally connected. Not everyone needs to be on-call 24/7 like a surgeon. Smart watches are more like pagers than watches, and not in a good way.
>>18701774Yeah the LD is kino. It looks bad on pictures, okay-ish on video but it's stellar IRL. I'm still not sold on the dial but everything else is 10/10.
How the fuck is this supposed to work? How do you tell what day or month it is?? What's the "complication" even called? Does anyone actually own one of these ridiculous things? I've seen them for sale but never anyone wearing one.
Is it just me or is Seiko's lume particularly short lived?
i might be in love with this thing. does anyone know any other good moonphase calendars?this is the JLC Odysseus. i may pull the trigger within the next couple off years. i'm just worried about the age of the thing.
>>18702283Seiko totally sucks beyond their designs. The specs and execution are shoddy for the price.
>>18702287it's gonna take 6 months to service and 4000$
>>18702282orient big brain bros are so smart, they're on a League of their own.
>>18702292That's why he's not really ever pulling the trigger on a watch so expensive.
>>18702294Seriously though, no one knows? I think something inside moves to make the days of the week realign, but what's with the 40s numbers up top?? I'm sure once you know the trick you could discern something from it, like that the 8 in the date window means it's Saturday. But I don't get how the top works with months and I guess years. The whole thing reminds me of some kind of casino gaming table from a distance though. I don't know enough about the games to know what it's reminding me of.
>>18702283It's ok on divers and sucks everywhere else. They could have easily skipped lume on mine, it wouldn't make a difference.
