>twf you will never be able to afford breguet with serval complicationswhy live
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.
>>18711769The big Breguet doesn't belong, it's too fat. The rest is nice though.
>>18711769Wayyyy too soon faggot
>>18711802The previous thread just hit 310 replies (bump limit). You're just mad because you wanted to make a new thread with a disgusting Seiko in the OP.
>>18711805>disgusting SeikoNice straw-manning.ROLEX is king.
Watch ID?
How we feeling about these updates? I kinda dig the new dial and bezel teeth, but the og second hand was kino. also it was a major separation between the bb54, now they're the same hand
>>18711769>tfw you finally realized the Tank Solo is a cross between the Tank Normale and the Tank Louis CartierI never saw it until now.
>>18711821Less text is good. The old second hand was better, but I'm of the opinion that you have to go all snowflake like the Pelagos or none at all. The Jubilee style bracelet is pretty bad. Divers look better on Oyster style bracelets.
>>18711822It's not a Tank Solo, it's a 1970s Tank Louis made by Cartier London.And the Tank Solo has the exact same shape as the Tank Louis.
new VC 2500v>salmon dial>39.5mm>7.35mm thick>fucking 7.35mm thick>255 pieces, $120k msrpi would drown babies in motor oil to cop one of these. 7.35mm thick for an automatic and a VC no less IM GONNA COOOOOOOM
>>18711827Oh cool, a new model of the same watch again.
>>18711827I like thin, but under 9mm is too thin for me.9mm to 11mm is the sweet spot.
>>18711826No, I recognize that.The Solo's dial and case have the rectangular proportions of the LC, but the flattened brancards of the Normale.
>>18711824>Less text is good.agreed, took me a second but the new dial is immaculate now>old second hand was betteryea they really did this wrong. it's perfect on the 54, doesn't work here.>Divers look better on Oyster style braceletsdisagree. bb58 on the regular bracelet looks kinda boomer slopish to me; the elegance of the watch combined with generic link bracelet mud is just wrong, and is why i think most people skip the bb58. on jubilee it's perfection.
>>18711827The Overseas has never been good. This one is no exception.The 222 on the other hand...
>>18711829just like women, can never be too thin
>>18711827
>>18711832>>18711824Less text is always better. I would even remove the "Master Chronometer" text. You can put that on the caseback.Compare the current Submariner to the old 5513.
>>18711827The dial is too small.
>>18711851Like this?
>>18711767god bless
How do people justify in their mind being libtards but also collecting expensive watches and other luxury goods?
>>18711867Does liberalism mean you have to be a Benedictine monk or something?
Salmon dials are cool, post more salmon dial watches.
>>18711870If you're not a hippocrite it's kind of hard to square blaming every problem on rich people buying everything up when you have wealth and you are using it to buy everything up. At some point by your own logic you are the problem.
>>18711867I mean, liberalism is the ultimate form of insanity and retardation>Rolex hatthe jokes write themselves
>>18711867>>18711872Piker is and always was a champagne socialist. I'd go so far as to say he only espouses his far left ideology because he knows his personal wealth is secure and not going to anyone else.
>>18711827>i would drown babies in motor oil to cop one of theseyou would harm a baby, for a watch?
>>18711867The current free market capitalistic system the entirety of humanity lives within, was created by a Liberal
>>18711879for THE watch
>>18711769thank you for your attention on this matter
>>18711867>Libwhat does this even mean anymore? it’s the same with the term Conservative. it literally bears no meaning.
>>18711879I would legit kill someone for 3.3 million dollars
>>18711867Is that Hasan? Hasan is I think a Xi Jinping era China supporter and China definitely has Rolex, Cartier and luxury goods. I saw a clip of Hasan Piker where he describes Beijing -“A hammer and sickle flag right next to a Gucci store- my two favorite things.”
>>18711884Conservative means "angry, uncultured racist." Lib means "not conservative" Like you say, they're so broad as to be meaningless.
>>18711885>>18711882i doubt it, because if you could, you would have. both of you are like the guy in the ferry the joker was hoping would kill the prisoners in the other ferry.
>>18711889If I could snipe The Rock with a sniper rifle, for his watch and then resell it somehow despite being one of 15 of watches made by that company then I’d do it.
R8 my G-LIDE.
>>18711893Watch is fine. Pic is terrible. Crude and artless in composition.
>>18711895yeah let me get out my tripod, Profoto flashes and softboxes out of the closet and also focus stack for you and this shithole.
>>18711893So this is the power of Leica…
>>18711901$24,000 photo if you buy camera and body retail.
>>18711899>yeah let me get out my tripod, Profoto flashes and softboxes out of the closet and also focus stack for you and this shithole.The equipment doesn't matter. You simply lack the artistic talent to take a good picture. You've posted a bunch now and they're all awful and pretentious.
>>18711908Wasn't pretentious until you steered the conversation from watches to camera and talent shit. Just look at the watch and move on.
Are alligator straps thinner than other leather straps? I'm trying to figure out if I got ripped off or not.
>>18711908This. As long as the watch is centered and in-focus, that's the best he can do.Imagine spending that much money on an artform you love only to realize you're absolute shit at it.
>>18711913>Are alligator straps thinner than other leather straps?They can be whatever thickness the strap maker wants them to be. Typically they are made thinner because gator straps are commonly used for dress watches. A dress watch isn't supposed to have a thick, chunky strap.
>>18711916That makes sense. I'm guess I'm glad it's thin since it has to fold in a clasp but was caught off guard.
R8 my Moulder X-Files watch.
>>18711911>Just look at the watch and move onits kind of hard to do that when every picture you have taken looks like you smeared vaseline on the lenspic taken on my iphone
>>18711923Is that the stock bracelet?
>>18711924yes
>>18711919>moulder
>>18711925Damn I wish the Aqua Terra came with that bracelet.
>>18711923>>18711925Based. Looks like it's in really good condition too.Those 90s Seamaster Pros have aged well.
>>18711919At this point you're just spamming. You're embarrassing yourself.
>>18711929>Damn I wish the Aqua Terra came with that bracelet.It's a comfortable bracelet if it's properly sized, but there's no micro-adjust, just a half-link, and there's no taper either. If you're stuck between sizes, you're kind of screwed.
>>18711929that was my exact thought when I bought it. I was looking to see if the seamaster 300 braclet would fit on an aqua terra but i couldn't get a definitive answer.
Hey guys? Did I do it right?I got a book that makes me seem smart. A cheap as fuck watch. It's all blurry, tilted, and out of focus.R8 my Mudman. :^)
>>18711931As opposed to all the other watches in literal toilet shit? Nah I don't feel bad.
>>18711936Unironically better than >>18711919's pictures
>>18711936DOF and motion blur are two different things anon. But either way your post doesn't offend me because it's a good book and good watch. Carry on.
>>18711936kek based.
>>18711936>Hey guys? Did I do it right?I don't think so. You didn't spend enough on your camera equipment. You just shot that on an iPhone or something.You forgot the golden rule: when showing someone your pictu--sorry, photographic composition, you have to tell them how incredibly expensive your equipment is.
>>18711944>I call it, "Ode to the Performative Male"
>>18711945I literally ripped the pages out from the forward written by some chick for the 30th anniversary edition. Her first paragraph mentioned "men that talk over you" and "white main character".
>>18711936I know you posted it as a joke, but this is actually the best book and best watch of the black-and-white R8 my shitter series.
>>18711946Hope this helps anon understand DOF vs motion blur.
>>18711867gommunismus is when no ifone n no rolex :(
>>18711946Dude, honestly, who cares? You wanted your watches rated, they were judged to be shitters. A bunch of cheap crap and a Cartier from the early '00s that has aged like an open jar of mayonnaise left in the sun. Move on.

>>18711965What in reddit tarnation is this?
You guys are gonna make me go look up watches now Why do so many of these “fancy” watches just look like trash from target
>>18711893It has lines that go up and down.
>>18711944How many more times do I have to post "sucks" before you get the message? You have whatever watches and your barely-in-focus black and white photos are trash. You should stop doing this and try something else.
>>18711971what do you mean by "fancy" watch? What is an example of a "fancy" watch?
>>18711977Because of the brand, which indicates it’s probably expensive, but does not appear special to me at all The only case I can make for wanting a watch in 2026 is for when you want to be disconnected. Who wants their phone blabbing at them at a special occasion? Watches also have a way of elevating especially formal wear. But I lub da Apple Watch : ]
>>18711981>Watches also have a way of elevating especially formal wear.This is more key than you think. When everyone started carrying a phone and using that to check the time, watches ceased to be a necessity. Thus, the watch became purely an object of jewelry.The only watches that stress elegance in their design over all other considerations are dress watches.If you only had a Cartier Tank and nothing else, you'd still be all set.
Let me teach you a thing or two about composition.
>>18711989lol, based Weekdater anon showing Talentless anon how it's done
>>18711971Because most retards that spend money on watches do so because of youtube videos and specs. At a glance, a watch is a watch. When you wear a watch, just know that nobody around you will know if it's from Walmart or a boutique. Buy something you like that's for yourself. And be prepared to be ridiculed online if you ever share what you like. You can spend $10,000 and the poor people here will make fun of it.
>>18711989Now this is a guy I'd hang out with.
>>18711993>You can spend $10,000 and the poor people here will make fun of it.Don't be so defeatist. I've posted a bunch of my watches here at all price ranges and the response is usually a net positive. Sure, there's bitter trolls, but the odds that you'd ever encounter them in real life would mean actually visiting them in their moms' basements. By and large, if you post a nice watch, and you're not trying to deliberately annoy the thread, you'll get honest feedback.
>>18711996Ideally, but watch when that anon saves up and posts is PRX and the retards here will bring up how Chinese watches are superior.
>>18711993>>18711996>>18711997i think like 90% of the toxic negativity here is from 1 person. he has a familiar tone and just lives here, the responses are too predictable. we've lost so much quality content from people leaving after having all their posts shit bombed by the bitterfag who actually doesn't own any watches (he's yet to post one)pic unrel
>>18712003Is it worth seeking out a "Little Prince" MK18 or does it not matter? I keep wanting to pull the trigger but need to know what to look for.
>>18712003>i think like 90% of the toxic negativity here is from 1 person.That feels impossible. Yes, the all-lowercase guy is very easy to pick out, but I think there's plenty of other posters who just like to troll and feel that's the vibe of the general.
Kofé time.
>>18712004>Is it worth seeking out a "Little Prince" MK18 or does it not matter?Not really. The dial is not actually that special. It's a pretty standard sunburst blue. The brown-dial Antoine de Saint Exupéry versions are nicer, but brown is pretty polarizing.The Mark XII is the one to get. Closest to the original Mark XI. It's the one with an overengineered JLC movement. 36mm.
>guy comes into /wt/ to flex his $10k camera>others follow up by posting pictures from their pixel phones and end up mogging him
>>18712012Perfect, this helps a lot.
>>18712015I only brought up the camera because others mentioned it first. My Lieca interset actually started after trying a friend's Leica Monochrom. We all spend our money on different hobbies, whether it's gear or watches, both are retarded options howmstever.
>>18711989Holy shit based
>>18712022Tell me more about the camera, I'm genuinely curious.Why did you specifically wanted a monochrome camera?
>>18712015I'm waiting for him to decide he's going to "get his revenge on the thread" and start spamming blurry, black and white pictures of his own shit.Seems to be the /wt/ way, these days.
>>18712025There's a whole board for photography. Go there if you're interested.>>>/p/catalog
Infinite Jest is mega fucking gay and anyone who owns it is a performative faggot.
>>18712025It brute forces you into a certain mode that's like film. You have to commit. Plus the high iso and dynamic range is unfathomable until you edit a DNG is lightroom from a mono file. It'll blow your mind. The cheaper route is to buy a Pentax Mono APSc body. I have one of those too. And to take it up a notch I try to commit to jpegs off camera. I'm sick of paying for LR lifelong subscription. Is it worth the money? No. Nobody will see your photos except the 1mp images of your vacation to your mom in sms messages or 2mp instagram posts. So basically the exact same reasons not to buy any other camera these days.
>>18712034/lit/ would disagree
>>18712040Oh, you mean the board of performative faggots?
>>18712042This. I wouldn't listen to a word those retards have to say. I would also be very cautious around /p/ fags, but there are good ones among there.
>gay fag pretends he read infinite jest so he can take photos of it and make himself look deep and intellectual>owns a breGAY watch
>>18712044You got him boss.
>>18712015funny how you could instantly tell the difference between a smartphone and a camera...
>>18712038Thanks, anon. I need to look more into this. I do some bnw stuff with a regular dslr.
>>18712048Photos don't mean anything anymore so just keep on truckin with your DSLR and save your money. That goes for watches too, unless you buy used and can flip them back for cash. My new rule is to only buy things that won't "expire". That means only buying manual focus lenses in mounts that won't go away (M mount) or watches I can flip easy on the diamond district back for cash (Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Breitling).
Does anyone have that collection pic with the Calatrava, Moser, GO...a couple others? I think he had an Hermes too.
>>18712027My revenge is focused on my ex wife and her not getting my cameras and guitars.
>>18712004NTA >>18712012 but the dial isn't blue, it's black with blued hands. I have the XVIII and XX, the XVIII wears and looks bigger due to the longer lug to lug distance, and the dial has the numbers pushed out further to the edge, which leaves more negative space and appears bigger than the XX. the XX is crisp as fuck and obviously more modern, which I prefer day to day. my XVIII is the titanium one and is a ghost on the wrist, never feel it. really depends the vibe you're going for: modern or heritage. I haven't seen a XII in person.
>>18712058>Photos don't mean anythingthey certainly don't when most people including everyone on this website (an IMAGE BOARD) can't tell the difference between a cell phone pic or an SLR
>>18712034filtered
>>18712065Thanks anon. I'm all for the shorter lugs. I'm very tempted.
>>18712066AI has ruined all images for the foreseeable future. I'm thankful I switched careers just in time.
>>18712066Composition and focus is way more important than what camera you're using. Unironically, high school girls with the previous generation iPhone can take better pictures than those black and white eyesores
>>18712065>I haven't seen a XII in person.You obviously like IWC Pilot watches so you owe it to yourself to get your hands on one.It's like a fan of the Submariner handling a 5512 for the first time after a lifetime knowing only 6-digit models. It feels small and dinky, but it's also undeniably special. In the case of the Mark XII, it's the inheritor of the tradition of the actual watches issued to RAF pilots.Obviously, the tritium lume is going to be dead and 36mm feels tiny compared to the 40-42mm models of recent years.
>>18712072Other than the historical connections, what's the difference between the Mark XII and the current 36mm pilot? Is it really a better watch?
>>18712071This is what makes watches (and fashion, in general) such a strange hobby. You don't actually have to be good at anything. In the case of fashion, you at least have to be physically fit to wear the clothes well.All you have to do with watches is read about them. You don't even need to actually own any.Anything else, you need to develop a skill. Buying an easel and some paints doesn't make you a good painter, no matter how much you spend. Buying a guitar and an amp doesn't make you a good musician, no matter how much you've posted on guitar forums.Moreover, no matter how much you practice, it might turn out that you never develop that talent either.At least >>18712058 is smart enough to make sure that he can always sell his stuff without losing too much money when he moves onto his next thing.
>>18712074The Mark XII is the original. It's the first civilian market version of that series. Before that, they were all military issued. After that, everything is a copy of a copy.>>18712074>Is it really a better watch?It definitely has a better movement.
>>18712078>they don't even color match the date wheelA R T I S A N
>>18712077>Anything elseEh... drinking wine/whiskey/etc, reading books, watching tv/movies, hiking, birdwatching, collecting coins/milsurp/fetuses preserved in formaldehyde/etc, board games, listening to music, shitposting on Armenian snake charming forums...And yeah, you can get deep into those things and pick up a lot of knowledge, just like watches.
>>18712077And one anon appears out of the dust to post the first sensible comment in 5 threads.
>>18712083Wine is the biggest fucking scam out there.There's a book called The Billionaire's Vinegar about how one of the Koch brothers got scammed out of hundreds of thousands paying for some fake wine bottled by Thomas Jefferson and it made him so mad he decided to go full anti-fraud on the vintage wine collection market and discovered most of it is bullshit.
>>18712086I drink $21 box wine because it's the most cost effective way to get drunk. It lasts 2 days and then I refill. I get really drunk and post black and white photos to make people seethe.
Thoughts on citizen Ca4664-60w? About to pull the trigger
>>18712086Wine in general is bullshit, or specifically the whole "this wine was bottled 500 years ago in a specific vineyard in Italy where the grapes were foot pressed exclusively by pregnant women with a very specific variety of foot fungus that is expressed in the flavor of the wine" type shit?
>>18712087>to make people seethe.ah, and there it is. every time, without fail.>post watch>someone makes a funny comment that makes you mad>spend the next months/years spamming the thread to make the experience unpleasant for everyone
>>18712086Not the point of my comment but alright. Some wine tastes good, some of it tastes bad. Drinking wine is fun, drinking a lot of different wines to see which ones you like and which ones you don't like as much is interesting and a lot of fun.Your comment is like saying>Watches are the biggest fucking scam out there, Hublot uses sellita movements in $10k watches, Richard Milles are also retardedly overpriced
>>18712083>hikingneed to develop fitness>birdwatchingneed to actually apply the knowledge to find and observe the birds>board gamesyou obviously need skill at this
>>18712091Both.There used to be a wine awards in Paris and one time they switched over to blind tasting and California wines BTFO all the euroshit. After that they just stopped doing it.
Pls respond>>18712089
>>18712095Wow, so the wine industry had a quartz crisis.
>>18712096I'd go for a minimalist eco drive
>>18712095This happen, now they just have piss of the urinal taste competiting. The French incredulous bastard shit. Arab bigger up and down.
>>18712094>needNot really. You can engage with any of those at a low skill level for as long as you want and enjoy your time doing so. Hiking the local super easy beginner trail never breaking a sweat every weekend, or sitting outside in your backyard literally doing nothing but watching the birds, or playing Monopoly or whatever else with a super low skill ceiling.My point is just that some hobbies are just more "consumption" focused rather than skill focused I guess I would say, watches included. That is to say, watches aren't some special exception, just one example among many consumption based hobbies.
>>18712097There was also a scandal where it was discovered many European wineries put Russian beet sugar into their wine to artificially sweeten it.
>>18712098Like what? I like how this one fit my wrist and the face
>>18712101I wonder why it specifically had to be Russian beet sugar..
>>18712095When I was at university, I worked as a bartender at a pretty nice hotel. Remembering a particularly shitty house party where I watched two girls get into a physical fight over the last shot of Grey Goose, I tried something with my customers.I made three completely identical martinis, but I said one was made with bathtub gin, one was made with a decent mid-range gin, and the last made with super-premium gin. When I served them to customers (note: these were comped, I didn't charge them or deceive them, I just asked their opinion) they all said the "premium" one tasted best. These were pretty sophisticated drinkers too.I notice something similar in beer brewing. I have some friends who run breweries and win awards and make a decent living selling super-strong IPAs...they all drink Miller Lite.
>>18712096I would not do it. That is a very pilot/engineer watch. If you are not a pilot/engineer you will just come off as a faggot. If someone asks you what all the shit on the dial is for and you can't explain how to use it, you will look retarded. It's not even like a dive watch where anyone can use the timing bezel and they're very readable. You have to actually be able to justify a Navitimer-like. It's also fuckhuge. The olive color is also an odd choice. That type of watch looks best in black or blue.Obviously the number 1 criteria of buying a watch is if you like it and see yourself wearing it daily, but you also need to give some thought to if the watch matches you.
>>18712103Russia produces lots of beet sugar, and they use beet sugar in particular because it's low cost in Europe and more neutral than other sugars.
>>18712106Im a wristlet i liked how it it me and liked the face but yoy might be right
>>18712105Maybe they were just being nice? If you're on vacation or whatever and they're handing out free drinks you're probably not of a mind to say "all this shit tastes the same to me!" and make waves and harsh the mellow like that.
>>18712109>anon discovers the placebo effect
>>18712087>I get really drunk and post black and white photoskek, that's your excuse?>No, I'm actually good at taking pictures, but I took THESE pics when I was drunkThat's bullshit because we have HamiltonDrunk, who is a legitimate alcoholic and he posts better pics than you.
>>18712111I don't really browse here unless I'm drunk. I don't really feel the urge to do anything at all sober.
>>18712111I never said I was a good photographer, not even hinted towards it. I posted which camera I use and my watches. The rest is your imagination...
>>18712105>they all said the "premium" one tasted bestThis is a pretty well known phenomenon. If you think the same isn't happening to you to at least some degree in regards to watches you're deluding yourself btw.Using this phenomenon to conclude that>It's all bullshit!is wrong though. Your enjoyment of an object/experience is what really matters, and your perception is altered by being told that it's "premium" or "budget friendly" or whatever. You will literally enjoy things more if you're led to believe that they're high quality, or a good deal.And if you're not convinced by that, then you're welcome to do only blind tastings and decide 100% for yourself what you like best.
>>18712105Well, IPA is definitely a bullshit fad. It makes absolutely no sense how popular it is, a beer distributer that carries 100 varieties of beer will have 48 fuckin IPAs and every single one of them tastes like the same cat piss. I always wonder, can't we cut like 10 or 15 of these and get some gose style beer or something? I'm not even saying don't focus on IPA, I'm saying cut it a LITTLE BIT and try something different?
>>18712108You could try the Citizen Promaster Diver. Usually around $200-$250 and it comes in a vibrant green. Extremely readable and one of the more unique looking divers. Timing bezel is useful. If you get a leather strap for it you can dress it up a bit and an FKM rubber strap dresses it down. It wears smaller than it looks. It's on Amazon.Another option is the Zenshin 3-hand. Extremely cool textured dial, sporty look, titanium so it's super light. Naturally very youthful and versatile. The problem is it's an integrated bracelet so it's always going to look like this. Around $300-400.You could probably get both and be set for life, covered in 90% of situations.
>>18712110That's what I'm questioning. IS it placebo, or is it "Yeah, whatever buddy, keep the "premium" shit flowing as long as it's free" and not thinking too hard about it?Like you're not saying "stake your reputation on it, which one of these is a more premium drink?" You're just saying "these free things are all different levels of quality" and they just drink their free booze and thumbs up whatever is going to keep the guy pouring free booze happy. I'm just not convicted your joker-tier master scheme to create chaos in the bar runs as deeps as you seem to think it does.
>>18712116>I'm not even saying don't focus on IPA, I'm saying cut it a LITTLE BIT and try something different?I don't know what part of the world you're in, but in New England, we've definitely seen a move away from high-proof IPAs and towards milder pilsners and lagers. It's been nice.
>>18712118I'm not the bartender dude, but as a drunk I flip flop both ways. I buy a $50 bottle of wine sometimes, a $5 bottle of wine, I buy 9% IPA's and then Budweisers. Sometimes I buy into the hype, but in the end I don't really taste anything and the main thing is just to drink enough to get drunk and eat enough to not be hung over for the office. sorry I don't think I really added anything here.
>>18712120In America it's not as retarded as it's been at its heights as far as what the beer distributers and bars are stocking, but IPA is still really popular. If you look up a random microbrewery it's very typical that their lineup will be 4 or 5 beers and AT MINIMUM 2 will be IPAs.
>>18711919We're SO impressed by your books. Choose a different one to pair with each watch so we'll respect you more.
>>18712125failing to orient an image is a lot different than spending thousands of dollars setting up the perfect image and ending up with something blurry enough to be usable by conspiracists as proof of Bigfoot.

>>18712096I would unironically get an invicta over this and save some money
>>18712143That's sort of what happened to me.My Garmin replaced the divers, chronos, field watches, travel watches, etc. It's that and dress watches now.
>>18712136Great watch post
>>18711769Thoughts on Tissot watches?
>>18712135God, what a based collection. Imagine if he had a good camera.
>>18712150I don't like them. None of their designs stand out except the PRX and now they've just become The PRX Company.
Am I crazy or were IFL Watches like a $1000 cheaper up to like a year ago? I recall them being listed for $400-$500 for many of their custom watches.Where did these $1400+ prices come from?
>>18712072>36mmI would love 36mm, 40mm is the absolute limit for my baby size wrists. admittedly I went ape shit on "current" new fliegers and bought the XVIII because I retardedly thought the steel 36mm was too shiny. now I have to cut myself off, I have 7 already between IWC, MWC and a Seiko.>>18712068the cool thing about the XX is the versatility. canvas strap if you need to dress it down, rubber if you're gonna sweat your balls off, leather for dressing up, different colored leather and rubber for more options.>>18712079it would be unbalanced because of the white 9. photoshop a black date wheel with white font and it looks odd
>>18712170Honestly even though 40mm is so standard now it's really too big for almost everyone for a daily or dress watch. When you just try wearing a 34-37mm watch and get used to it you realize how bulky and heavy 40mm watches actually are, especially if we're talking about precious metal.
>>18712133>the snooty, superior "you're just poor" vibeit's the logical assumption towards a person who hates everything that's posted here with "and you paid $10k for that??!?" added on the end. that's the behavior of jealous, poor people. you project what you are. you start and perpetuate it. sorry there's people with money in the world and we invaded your private little corner of the internet.still waiting on you to post a single watch you own (you won't)>inB4 some word slop about arguing in good faith
>>18712172funny you say that, I picked up a 34mm USSR Raketa and it dawned on me how retarded I had become with accepting 39-40mm as the "norm". how these guys wear 45mm dinner plates and can look at themselves in the mirror is absolutely batshit crazy to me
>>18711769I kinda miss the 2000s maximalist shitter era if there not ridiculously large they have there charm to them. There not just some worse copy of something from the 60s or 70s like today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sMmZw0mkC0

>>18712221>The Shitizen
What is the best watch ever made and why is it the Tudor Black Bay 54?
a hobbie can be an interestbut an interest is not a hobbyI'm right and anyone rolex faggot here wants to suck more rolex cock I'm gonna let you do that but not after I shit down your throat ahahah
>>18711867rolex is not a luxury brand it is a brand dedicated to taking money from retardsthis perfectly explains your image and the question you asked you need not ask any further questions
also we need more photos from the monochromthat monochrom faggot is at least self aware
>>18711819please someone get this cunt inside he's burned badly
anyone have any thoughts about this watch?
>>18712260When you wear Laco, you check the time with HITLER
>>18712228that sounds like a trick question
>>18712228don't you guys realize all this shit looks the same? this looks like a fucken rolex which looks like an omega which looks like a tudor
>>18711769I’m thinking about selling these. Is it worth it? I think I can get 1500 usd all together. Also how do I get an Italian phone number for a sms verification, I see a watch I like on an Italian website. But they don’t let you make an account without a Italian phone number
>>18712268I'll sell you one for $1500.
>>18712068Looks like a Chinese watch.
>>18712172Yeah, once i got a 37mm daily i was like>Why would anyone want to make a watch bigger than this?
>>18712260It's decent. Stowa makes similar watches too, although personally i'd get the Marine Classic 36.
Is this tasteful or too much?

>>18711819Why is he dressed like an 8 year old boy from the 90s?
>>18712406Since the fliegers were cheap mass-produced milsurp watches, the unbranded chink militados using quartz movements are more in line with the spirit of the watch than mountain jews charging $5000 for that shit.
>>18712356thank you sir>>18712362this watch only makes sense if you drive either an old beater or a top of the range 500k bentley
>>18712400did you actually want this for yourself or to re-sell at a higher price?
>>18711819Hey, how's the weather in Amsterdam?
>>18712404i will metaphorically beat you to death and then beat you back to life and then beat you back to death in minecraft because you posted that image.
>>18712414Real IWC nerds prefer the Portugeezer so I think the shitter and the double IWC owner are the same guy. The Pilot isn't that popular because it's an insanely generic watch that doesn't even represent the best of the brand's catalogue and fliegers in general aren't that popular either.
>>18712422I grow increasingly irate at this outlaid notion.
>>18712414>it's not magnitudes better quality than the San Martin version.But it is. It's not even night and day. It's like comparing apples to steak. If you hold both a Mark XX and some militado flieger in your hands, and you're really going to say they're the same, idk what to tell you man. You sound like one of those guys that claims the $9 T shirts from Walmart are "just as good" as a $90 linen shirt from a boutique. Good for you.
Post your watches. What is your current favourite. What is your second favourite. What watch is no longer your favourite, and why. I'm interested. Take your time. I'm not gonna judge you either.
>>18712426It's not $4900 better.>b-b-but the finishing, the movementThe original watches were cheap mass-produced mass-issued garbage. Also Laco and Stowa made Nazi watches too and they sell theirs for much less money.
>>18712422are you upset because your watch can't take pictures?
>>18712433IWC's finishing is not even good until you hit their $10k stuff. They phone it in. The effort is not there for the price.
>>18712433>I've seen the comparisons from peopleYou watch youtube videos all day. Good for you!I know it's scary to make your own opinion based off your own perception and experience. And I know it's scary that other people can appreciate finer things that you can't. It's ok! The world is scary. I believe in you anon.
>>18712400the better one
>>18712446He could get a Stowa or Laco for around $1000 and have $4000 left to buy something else. Like a Sinn U1. Sea and air. It actually is total nonsense to buy an IWC flieger.
would you pay $12,000 forone of these?
>>18712453I don't buy anything with Jacob written on it
>>18712437When will they touch??!!?!
>>18712453no they look horrific and would probably be very poorly made and have horrendous energy tied to vapid consumerism and dead subcultures that are bereft of any transcendental value

>Mechanical analogIf it's a shitter, run it until the movement breaks and replace entire movement if you care>Quartz analogcope with a battery swap every 3 years and a mechanical will be less hassle long term and you compromise water resistance if you are a retard>digital quartzDisposable tier just buy a new one, with a 10 year battery it's cheaper to buy a new one than replace even a battery and suffer water resistance failurewhy do Casio and stuff put such a low tier battery in their analog quartz shitters? for analog shitters is something like the military mwc divers with a Ronda 715li the ultimate cope analog shitters? 10 year battery life in analog quartzimagine not having a 10 year service life on your watch

>the shitizen
>>18712467Don't be too hard on him. My time in watches is brief enough that I can still vividly remember the early days of buying watches under $200 and unironically believing it's "the same thing for less money." it's easy to believe that when you're just looking at pictures and price tags on a computer screen. It takes going to boutiques and trying watches on and comparing them hands on to really get it, until you do these words just sound like cope and sunk cost fallacy.Even when you're comparing relatively cheap watches to their chinese knockoffs, like Doxas or Nomos or something in that range, the real watch will very often be thinner, it will have better case and lug proportions, it will have whole contours and facets that are not present on the knockoff, it will have much higher contrast between different finishes, if it has a sunburst dial it won't be streaky and saturated looking, the date printing or magnifier won't look shitty or fucked up, the crown operation and threading will be absolutely smooth, you're probably not going to have a situation where in 3-8 months the rotor helicopters when you wind it because they didn't lubricate the movement properly, and so much more could be said. But it might mean taking your datejust clone to the rolex boutique and realizing the copies NEVER get the date and magnifier right.Whether all these differences are worth the extra money is, I guess, debatable. But they are apparent when you take the time to appreciate them.
>>18712484>that picrel lmao holy shitGreat bait dude, you had me going. Well played.>>18712487>they are apparent when you take the time to appreciate them.I mean, that's just it. But I know that's pushing certain people way out of their comfort zone when they'd rather outsource their opinion.>>18712488Sorry, I actually feel bad now. I didn't know you were under 18. And traumatized.
>>18712496>If I had to spend $5K on a single watch I guess it would be this one.Lmfao. Good for you and the rest of humanity you don't have 5k to spend on a watch.

>>18712559I know it goes against everything Panerai stands for historically, particularly with the water resistance ratings, but I lowkey kind of want a luminor due. It's 38mm diameter but because it's square it kinda still wears like it's over 40mm and most of them stay under 12mm thick.I saw an interesting video where they pressure test one to the equivalent of 200m and it passes, so I know it's actually made better than the 30m water resist rating implies, but I wish they'd just put a screw down case back on it and stand by rating it for at least 100m.

>>18712601Panerai has one watch and everything they do is just that watch but uglier.For the past... 3 years or so they've been hounded by the fact that they removed hacking seconds on their movements so you're paying luxury money for a watch that doesn't even have the functionality of a Seiko shitter. They are a joke now.

>>18712601Dead as a speculative asset for collectors? Sure. But the company is still putting out watches and is still really popular with middle aged dudes that like 80s and 90s action movies. You can just wait until a release you like is a year or so old and get a used one for a 50% discount, that's all.
>>18712607It's the Swiss' fault, their cheese got him fat.

It's a lot, but you can still kind of ignore it and have a different discussion every day.I'm wondering how much longer before it's literally only spam because everyone else fucked off from all the avatarfags just beefing with each other and watch general gets banned from /fa/ like it was banned from /g/ for..... pretty much the same thing, actually.Jesus, what is it about watches that attracts these people?

>>18712708>Jesus, what is it about watches that attracts these people?Initially, they're just interested in watches. Once they realize that other people own watches that they themselves will never, ever be able to afford, they become incredibly bitterThe only place, however, to exercise this bitterness is right here. Out in the real world, no one cares about watches. So they stay here and get more and more bitter. Years go by, they might even buy a good watch they really like, but they can no longer actually enjoy it because any interest or joy or any other feeling has been drowned in an ocean of bitterness.
>>18712808POORS
>>18712814Yes, anon. Disgusting poorfaggots.
shitters.
I'm not bitter when I remind people that Rolex lost against Casio and had to pivot to brainwashing retards in order to maintain a watch business. That's just history. Pure history. It's just the nature of the game. Players players. Losers lose. It just so happens that losing means buying an overpriced watch just to show everybody you're a Rolex Retard that got 1 shot by a Swiss marketing team. It's okay. You can have money to spend and still be a massive tardloser.
>>18712818I love watches btw. I just also love shitting on goys who use their salarybucks to buy overpriced tardwrangler steel watches that were actually meant to be used by navy divers and shit like that but instead guys who spent 10 years in an office buy them and think they're above the 'poors' now.
I know you have to blow your AD to get an entry level overpriced tardwatch it's all good man, you're a success, everyone can see :^)
>>18712820nobody asked, nobody cares. take your blog back to WUS unc.
>>18712822Hey zoomie, you little brainrot rat, to put it simply Rolex Retards literally think they are above other people because they buy Rolex so any kind of shitting on Rolex Retards is absolutely pure Godlike entertainment in my view.
The truth is, that in the eyes of actually wealthy people, anyone who wears a Rolex is a Genuine Authenticated Retard who has demonstrated their total incapacity to function above the level of the goyim and therefore has signed, sealed and delivered their fate to be ruthlessly financially destroyed over and over again for every single dollar they have. The actual wealthy live to steal the money from the nouveau riche in every single possible way and in many ways it all begins with Rolex Retards.
>>18711957>can't participate in society without my $35000 watch
If you cannot even respect history and accept the fact that Casio destroyed Rolex and Rolex had to pivot to fleecing money from retards then you are spiritually a perma-slave and your reality is one wherein you and your entire bloodline are built for one purpose which is to be farmed for capital. You are a fucken retard.
>>18712826>having an expensive watch means I can’t oppose the genocide of civilians in Gaza and Donetsk and Lukhansk or want universal healthcare and for police to stop mistreating people I don’t even particularly like Hasan Piker but “lol he wears Rolex” is just a non-sequitur. He’s nowhere near the income level of the actual capitalist class (ie people who actually own capital).
>I must discuss e celebs that are put in front of me so I can sloppily consoom the slop becauase I'm a dumb cattle retard that has no intrinsic soul and a 100 percent incapacity for original thought
The entire West has proven that it is filled with low i.q. animals larping as enlightened thinkers who are actually merely proles that require a system that funnels them into predetermined cages wherein they consoom for the purpose of avoiding the fact that they are actually empty vessels, like robots, and so only those who understand reality truly master the system itself. This begins early. Like clockwork.
>>18712824this is why I love rolex. it's like meeting someone covered in tattoos. my brain instantly writes them off and they become static.
>>18712831
>>18712835What I love about the masses is how consistently hungry they are to consoom total slop. They have zero interest in contemplation of reality, the stars, the laws of this realm, and such. They just want the party, the personas, the game. They just want the show. The endless show. They want WWE Wrestlemania Globally all the time non-stop. >>18712833If someone is a genuine cattle retard and literally has zero capacity for original thought and thus by the very nature of their undignified existence they bought a rolex because "that is what you do" then I take some level of pity on them. However, if the Rolex Retard is an arrogant faggot that is actively attempting status games one must treat such a thing with full and total indifference. Like a virus but the only way to kill it is to ignore it in total. Just my opinion..
>>18712820>steel watches that were actually meant to be used by navy diversWhat watches are you talking about?
>>18712838Rolex.
>I hate this rich famous person>but I give attention to him and bring him up with others
>>18712830Isn't Hasan the son of a turkish oligarch who sponsored the armenian genocide?
>>18712840They're not meant for navy divers...
>>18712845I know nothing at all about him but I looked it up and apparently he supports the annexation of Crimea/ opposes Nato expansion and wants universal healthcare so he seems a decent enough guy. I don’t see why he’s worth seething over.>>18712843Normally I’d be on your side about off topic discussion but this thread is already garbage anyway
>>18712846You're being autistic right now.
>>18712849the point is that he's not "nowhere near the income level of the actual capitalist class", the dude is a full blown millionaire, and not a self-made one, but a nepotistic oneYou know, wealth inheritance, one of they main things explicitly opposed in the Communist Manifesto.
This thread is fucking fantastic because via the artifice of the watch and the industry we are shredding the fetid illusions that entrap the majority of people. Together we're embarking on a journey of freedom, yes, it is somewhat painful, but the journey is edifying, it is dignifying, it is the correct path. No man of spirit should have to be treated like shit the way Rolex bullies and psychologically abuses their Retard slaves.
>>18712851You're lying
>>18712311
>>18712858you're being ultra autistic. I was communicating in the macro now you're attacking for the micro. Tell me what you think Rolex watches made for lol.
>>18712862People that want a watch
>>18712872you are a stupid low iq autistic faggot that probably drinks too much coffee and has no self controljust in case any retards here were wondering let me re-write history for you dumb fucken 80 iq autistic brainlets. Rolex was a company that always sold luxury watches to nouveau riche retards who worked in finance and law. They named the watches names like 'submariner' and 'explorer' because finance guys had to 'go below deck' a lot (which means they had to suck cock to get finance deals done) and lawyers had to do 'exploration' (which means they also had to suck cock to get deals done)Hope this helps you low iq retards understand the history of rolex
>>18712790The Citizen Promaster Sky is one of my all time favorite watches. I had a JDM model (PMV65-2271), sold it and regretted it ever since.
>>18712837>However, if the Rolex Retard is an arrogant faggot that is actively attempting status games one must treat such a thing with full and total indifference. Like a virus but the only way to kill it is to ignore it in total. Just my opinion..And the two dozen posts you've fired off about your obsession with Rolex are your way of demonstrating that indifference?
>>18712877it's not an obsession, faggot. it is passion. listen when the digital slavery shit happens i'm not going to be crying that you're a perma cuck slave, ok? just go blow another AP for another steel watch you stupid cunt. live your little chattel goy life.
>>18712875That's what Rolex are now not were retard
>>18712881hahaha you are a genius! you're incredibly smart!
>>18712886Not really I just don't lie
"The Rolex Submariner was created in 1953 as a dedicated, purpose-built tool watch for scuba divers. It was conceived by René-Paul Jeanneret, Rolex’s Public Relations Director and a passionate diver, who recognized the growing popularity of underwater exploration and the need for a highly reliable, waterproof timekeeping instrument."Is this true?
>>18712879>it is passionOh, really? It seems more like an unmedicated psychotic disorder.
>>18712894literally discussing the history of a company and the current marketing tactics + the current target market is "psychotic" according to some faggot who posts on 4chan. Alright big guy.
>>18712890The current Rolex submariner is a dedicated, purpose-built tool watch for scuba diversIs that true?
>>18712897>The current Rolex submariner is a dedicated, purpose-built tool watch for scuba divers>Is that true?Yeah you have to scuba dive down to the rolex store to speak with the AP who is on pure oxygen btw who tells you that you can't buy the watch until you fuck and suck sixteen beluga whales. Have you find them too, hard cunts to get as they're very shy. hope this helps!
>>18712896Yeah, you sound like a nut with anger issues.
>>18712906You sound like a weak bitch if you can't handle some words. Log the fuck off you Rolex Retard. Go watch some fucken tv or streamers and consoom more you soulless goy slave.
>>18712903Salty!
rolex needs to ban this guy immediately, for lifeThis is a disgusting videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCw6BhJVe3k
>>18712906we should talk more about your feelings.
Rolex only made 800,000 watches last year :(
Rolex produces 1M watches a year. From published COSC data, 200K are Tudor.That leaves 800K Rolex watches per year.Half of them are Ladies models. Makes sense if you look at the AD display cases and those around you every day, I see more women with Crowns on their wrists then men sometimes. AD's tend to be divided in half, right down the middle, men's side, ladies side.That leaves 400K Men's watches per year.Take 65% of that number and assign them to non-Sport models like the Datejust, Day Date, Cellini, Sky Dweller, Oyster Perpetual, etc.. If you know how popular the DJ is, and certainly the OP, you know that 65% of men's watches is probably accurate, perhaps even understated.That leaves 140K Men's watches left per year.Take half of those and assign them to Precious Metal watches, seems to me that 20% of all men's production dedicated to solid gold or platinum makes perfect sense and if the amount of real estate dedicated to PM's in display cases is any indication this number may be understated too.Now we're down to 70K Men's watches left, the Sport Professional models.There are 8 lines, and next to each are the number of SS and TT models offered:Submariner (5) Yacht-Master (8) Daytona (7) Sea Dweller (3) Explorer (3) GMT Master (5) Air King (1) Sky Dweller (2)So that's 8 lines offered in 34 different variations.Oh, so the United States likely gets 50% of the worldwide Rolex inventory, so 35K Men’s Sport Models. Or 10 units per month. With 34 different variations. And 10,000 goyim on waiting lists for them. Cheers.
>>18712925Could you provide a link to where you got these numbers? It's interesting stuff.
>>18712928No. That is a copy pasted reddit post. The only thing you that anyone should focus on is that 10k people put themselves on the retard list. Sorry buddy, I know watchguys really like Rolex but I'm sorry, it's just, I can't help but see this as a global emasculation process. How can any man willingly put himself through the various humiliation rituals Rolex demands of you? It's just disgusting. It's inhuman. Sorry man, I just can't abide by this shit.
>>18712936>No. That is a copy pasted reddit post.Oh, bummer. It would have been interesting. It's probably just AI-generated slop.Whatever, though, I don't care about Rolex one way or the other, my collection is all independent brands at this point. And I definitely don't care about "humiliation rituals" or any of that.
>>18712942Being genuine, it does sound like you enjoy watches and horology.
>>18712936>How can any man willingly put himself through the various humiliation rituals Rolex demands of you?After a lifetime of going through every other humiliation ritual imaginable. They start to normalize it, and even seek it out. A lot of people don't have the luxury of introspection and self reflection. Even if they are self aware of the whole clown show, they can't even fathom ostracizing themselves from societal expectations, especially if they have a family with kids.
>>18712950Honestly we're shitting on them harshly but I genuinely think what you wrote has some serious applicability in so far as that it rings true for a certain percentage of the population. This seems off topic what I am about to write but I think it is relevant, I've heard from quite a few women who were "sex workers" that men who have a lot of disposable income, mainly from high salaries, are quite commonly submissive in the bedroom (at least that was their primary request to these women). The men wanted to be told what to do.
>>18712950>they can't even fathom ostracizing themselves from societal expectationsThat is the funny and strange part, too. They have financial agency but they somehow still get sucked into the Rolex black-hole and stuck there. I'm sorry but I genuinely knew a guy who was a pilot, who was wealthy, he flew celebrities around, had strong connections. This fella had the rolex, the sportscar. And all that shit. He was my friend for awhile. But I watched him get destroyed by women. Woman after woman could easily pick him out that he was a sucker. A fool. He'd buy them handbags, 3k usd or more per bag, and they'd mess around with him for a while and then leave. Unfortunately the rolex on the wrist and the polo top and the sportscar is just the universal outfit for being a cuck and smart women know it. I had to say goodbye to the guy because he was too emasculated and any advice I gave him he just ignored. But he was rich, yeah, he was flush with money, it fucken leaked out of him.
>>18712952>shitting on them harshlyprobably, but the generalization is there>high salaries, are quite commonly submissive in the bedroomWe can elaborate on this for 10 threads, but I think the broad stroke psycho analytical 101 summary is that most of those men pursue positions of power and massive wealth out of insecurity (and fear). So in the bedroom, they take the mask off and relax. I think a lot of those types are into being dominated even. All of it from unresolved (childhood) trauma.
>>18712955>somehow still get sucked into the Rolex black-holedon't under estimate marketing and advertising. it has manipulated the entire world. rolex are masters of this. people still claim it was the first watch to summit Everest. Rolex is literally a household name.
>>18712958Yeah, nailed it. >>18712959Yeah you are right about that.
Behold the amazing $5,000 finishing and leather and buckle and caseback here. No one could manage to match anything in that league for less than $4,300 I don't think. It's simply another plane of existence, no pun intended. It's an upper echelon of horology they just can't begin to approach outside of Switzerland. Poors wouldn't understand.
>>18712966unironically this is 100% accurate good job anon!
>>18712966Can you please stop? You're just making yourself look like more of an idiot. Honestly, wtf is a $5000 watch case back "supposed" to look like? The Rolex case back is literally a fluted flattened dome with linear brushing on the top.
Does anyone here own any MTG or Mr G casios?
