The actual watch thread.Previous : >>18732018
Do you need to wear light colored clothes to have an ice blue dial or can you contrast?
>>18734326>actual watch threadAs opposed to what? And what have you got there? A ladies Ventura? lol
Is this the coffee&watches thread?
>>18734351>As opposed to what?Coffee, feces, and bitterness.
>>18734354>feces, and bitterness.that's u, retard

This thread is fucking dead. Best to just let it sleep for a couple of months and try to bring it back next year.

Kofé time.
>>18734380"Watches" as a whole did not need "solving". Rolex is the most generic choice for overpriced "luxury" and you're uninteresting and ordinary if it is your choice. No imagination or taste whatsoever. >>18734374You also posted "I hate the poors" with that image. No one here likes you.
>>18734396You own the watch and you still use stock promo images? LOL, makes a lot of sense.
>>18734375Cosmonaute
>>18734482No friends, no sex, not enough attention as a child. Regrets over buying a fucking IWC like a retarded faggot. It's really a combination of things that makes me cheer for the toilet guy. I mainly just hate the world and love when people break little rules like I wish I could. I'm ineffectual in every way. Hope that helps.
>>18734597Don't start this again.
>tired of having to check my phone for the time>think that maybe i should invest in a watch>want one that is dual time zone>google says its called a GMT watch>search around for gmt watches>mfw im too poor for this shitguess i'll just keep using my phone
>>18734599COSMONAUTE
>>18734601If you're too poor to travel, you don't need a GMT.What's your budget for a watch and do you care if it's quartz?
>>18734601If you asked>Is there a decent GMT for under $X?maybe someone could point you in the right direction.
>>18734598he was asking about the guy who has the watch that's higher than your yearly salary, not a personal confession about yourself
>>18734598I'm a loser by every metric and i overbought an IWC as well, but at last i'm not a fucking scatophile like you
>>18734611it wasnt about travel. my work revolves around asian media, which is on the other side of the world.
>>18734617He asked what is wrong with me, a guy with an IWC in the toilet paper section, who is supportive of the stool poster. And I answered.
>>18734620>My "work" revolves around "Asian media"Translation: I fap to pedo anime all day long
I hate that fucking gay f1 blue faggotass iwc with a passion
>>18734601Can't go wrong with this baby for $80-$90. It's really quite astounding the quality you get. Look up the reviews. It really has everything you need and better specs than brand watches even approaching $1,000. And therefore the snobs will dismiss it. But they don't know anything.
>>18734624Those ones are at least interesting to look at. Why anyone would pay five fucking grand for a generic flieger is beyond me.
>>18734620How about a Seiko Alpinist GMT?
>>18734629No thanks. That's like a thousand dollars. Completely unnecessary expenditure. Reasonable suggestions welcome. Under $300 please.
>>18734623its for music, but sometimes that includes anime due to OSTs>>18734625>>18734629i bookmarked these thanks
>>18734629wait thats way too expensive
>>18734510Those bowed stripes make the watch look fat.>>18734512Could be interesting, but isn't.
>>18734633Buy something nice for once tightass
>>18734635Yeah, you see 'Seiko' and think it wouldn't be. But they really got full of themselves the last ten years and quadrupled the prices in order to attract idiots willing to spend more, and surprisingly it's worked.
>>18734637I have a few overpriced Seikos and they aren't "nice". Why don't you pull your head out of your ass and look again at what you're promoting here. The Alpinist collection is fucking retarded. They should offer those specs on their $200-$300 watches like everyone else. Their designs are in no way so amazing that they can carry the cost. Seiko fell off hard and you're too dumb to realize it.
>>18734639just get a GMT G-Shock and fuck off, or some chinese brand since you're in china
>>18734635>>18734633You know what, get a fucking Apple Watch.That's literally the best choice for your price range.
>>18734645Yuck.That's not really a watch in my book. A GMT does not need to cost a lot of money. The complication is really not that complicated.
>>18734597i like them but they are objectively inferior to standard navitimers
>>18734653Just go to Aliexpress and shutdafukup poors
>>18734601>>18734633I don't know if it's what you had in mind, but there are a lot of casios under $100 that have dual time functionality.If you want a decent mechanical dual time watch for under $300 that's going to be a little challenging.
>>18734625I have one of those. NH38 and nice jubilee with solid steel links, sapphire and all that. 100m wr I just don’t wear it much because I don’t need gmt, but it’s a good watch.>>18734664This is more than decent and it’s not challenging. You probably think there’s gotta be something wrong with or shitty about it, but there isn’t.
>male jewelry thread>everyone is poor as fuck>every watch over $150 isn't "worth it" and you're "overpaying"what in the fuck is going on here? are you guys aware of how retarded you are? you should be embarassed if someone has $6k to drop on a watch without batting an eye and you're sniveling over your keyboard because you've never held that much money in your life
>>18734624>poor people: the thread
>>18734672Redpill me on Pagani Design. Are they just Chinese bootlegs of well-known big dick brand watches or are they actually decent watches?
>>18734672DO NOT BUY PAGANI
>>18734714They're horrific. If there's a problem you could have with a watch you can find it with pagani. Sometimes components aren't even steel. Lubricants dry up in the movement and they shit the bed. Fucked up threading that strips out, spins infinitely or fuses bracelet links permanently together. Horrifically bad, stiff, gritty crown action. Customer service won't even answer your emails. And they never look right in person especially any watch with a sunburst dial looks streaky and saturated. They are the pinnacle of mount shitter.
>>18734719Good to know. I've been curious cause they're so cheap. The dread of being in a situation where someone thinks you're wearing an AP or Rolex and when they get closer they realize it's a ching chong shitter has kept me away.>oh, i thought that was... oh... n-nice watch anon
>>18734714Why don't you watch reviews and not pay attention to biased know-nothings like >>18734719 or >>18734718 who haven't bought any PD watches. They're totally decent watches. >>18734721Don't post "good to know" as if you just take some troll's word for it immediately. Do your research. They're objectively well-made watches for any price. The only "downside" is that they aren't all original designs. Some people actually think there are designs you just shouldn't be able to wear if you don't have $100,000. There are lots of favorable reviews of Pagani Design. Urban Gentry approves of them, Top Tier Ticker, everyone who reviews watches concedes that they're good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5LkuQAgFjMI have an auto and a quartz one and honestly I don't wear them much, but they're really good watches. Nothing wrong with them, nothing "horrifically bad". Anyone who's actually owned one can tell you that.
Is titanium a good alternative to stainless steel?
>>18734749Do you think that's a 'Yes or No' type of question?Where do you people come from?
just picked up a 116610ln today, it's pretty nice! tried on the titanium yachtmaster at an AD but the weight just makes it feel annoyingly light and cheap in my opinion; the full-steel at least feels like i can wear it while fucking around and not have to worry about it, though i understand both watches would perform basically identically in real life scenarios

>>18734933Bljeh, way to ruin a nice watch.
>>18734737Of course people buy them, because they're dirt cheap. But then Mr. Pagani teaches them a valuable lesson, that you get what you pay for, and when they get nicer watches they can appreciate actual quality that much more.I'm not even against cheap watches, you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a watch necessarily. But Pagani is definitely not setting the floor very high. Maybe you need to get a few unlubed seagol movements with helicopter rotor and stripped bracelet pins before you learn.
Why are blue dials so popular?
>>18735012we can tell you’re not white even from your palm

>>18734374In the real world no one really notices it, and if they do –and especially if you dress like a fucking hobo– those who do probably think it's fake anyway...

>>18735061The sacred shitter oath.
>>18734965You haven't seen the reviews nor owned the watches yourself. Where are you even getting this bullshit that Pagani has issues?You're just perpetuating myths here. I have watches that cost far more than Paganis which have alloy cases or mineral glass or even lesser movements. Certainly way shittier bracelets. I have not had issues with the two Paganis I have. Two more weeks I'm sure.

>>18735128everyone wants to cultivate a vibe
>>18735130>they gangstalk me is that you??
>>18735044Althoughbeit I do like that watch, you really did pick the worst looking one thoughbeit
>>18735136yes, the gang stalkers did this to me
>>18735130If I were homeless I would still stay clean and presentable somehow. I'd bathe daily and go to churches and get fresh socks. There are services wherever you live that you are not taking advantage of. Shelters, halfway houses, surely you're eating at soup kitchens. You don't need to look like a bum just because you're homeless. I hitchhiked out of town once to do drugs and get into trouble, and after 3 days I couldn't stand it and went to a dollar store and got some socks and a big jug of water and some deodorant and found a secluded area to clean up. Then I snapped out of my delusion and caught a bus back home and realized I never wanted to live like an animal ever again.I hope you get your shit together. You look like those dinged up beaters you keep posting.
>>18735148ya i was keeping it together for a while but i have no will to live i want to die i want to escape the torture but it has become clear the only escape is death but i can’t kms, so i simply exist i try to distract myself like in these threads looking at watches but if i can’t kill each and every single person who played a role in torturing me and take their money, i simply have no interest existing on earth
>>18735148Some people want to live like animals. I remember I worked on a project in high school where I had to feed the homeless like half a dozen times. After talking to them, almost all of them admitted they chose the life intentionally. Obviously there's a bunch that fell into it because of hard drugs. But most the ones I talked to were successful lawyers, doctors etc with families and houses at one point.
>>18735151Most were doctors or lawyers who gave it all up to live sober on the streets?Doesn't sound typical. How long ago were you in high school? Many homeless until pretty recently were mentally ill if they weren't winos or junkies. A lot of regular people have been displaced and are living in tents now. You must have gone to a certain place where educated, once classy and successful bums gathered.
>>18735156>Doesn't sound typical.I make no claim as to the percentage of the people that chose to be this way, but most the ones I talked to were. Granted it's a tiny sample because a lot of homeless don't even go to soup kitchens (where I was volunteering). >How long ago were you in high school?99-03>You must have gone to a certain place where educated, once classy and successful bums gathered.It was in San Diego. I live in LA now. Most of the homeless are obviously drug addicts that have officially lost their mind. My main point was simply that a lot of people choose the hobo life, more than we think. There's some regulars in my neighborhood that seem sober and just choose to live in a tent under a bridge.
>>18735151for me i was gang stalked into being destitute i want to burn them alive but it’s me vs the CIA globohomo jewish world order of evil so there’s no hope
>>18735166so you were mentally ill beforehand

Who’s behind both of these threads?The Firms: >Networks like Collaborator.pro (a massive European blog and forum network hub) or ICODA Digital Agency excel at building native infrastructure.The Jobs:>They hire educated freelancers in Bucharest, Warsaw, or Kyiv who speak fluent English. These workers are given a "Narrative Anchor Matrix"—a spreadsheet of talking points. Their job is to write the philosophical arguments about “the timelessness of quartz utility vs. mechanical heritage” to make the threads look like authentic intellectual debates.Once the Eastern European workers set the conversational tone, maintaining the threads 24/7 requires low-cost volume. This work is handled by digital infrastructure farms in the Philippines (Manila) and India (Mumbai/Bangalore).The Firms: >Large business process outsourcing (BPO) and click-farm brokers, alongside specialized "Reputation Defense" firms like Netino.The Job: >This is the entry-level gig work. Workers are paid per hundred posts or bumps. They are given a ZIP folder of pre-approved images of Citizen Eco-Drives or steel Rolex sports watches. Their interface runs custom automation scripts; when a watch thread drops below a certain position on the /fa/ catalog, the worker clicks a button to push a pre-loaded image and a generic line of text ("Clean daily wear, thoughts?"), instantly bumping it back to the top. Slavs are subhuman like jeets.
>>18735166>jewish world order of evilI no longer have any sympathy for you. Just fucking end it. And wash yourself. You're fucking filthy!

Why is this made in Thailand?
Has anyone gotten irritation from stainless steel? I have skin issues and I've read that titanium is more hypoallergenic.
>>18735363orange nato
>>18735369Why do you think the location of manufacture is relevant to the quality?
>>18735391I trust pale Japanese hands more than brown Thai hands.
>>18735394That's because you're a racist fucking dumbshit. But hey, I'm on 4chan so what else should I expect?
>>18735395Yes, that is correct.
>>18735395>dna, the fundamental chemical reality of all life on earth, is irrelevant!lol yeah whatever go back to bluesky retardnta btw
>>18735373Titanium is more hypoallergenic, but good stainless steel shouldn't be a problem assuming it's real 316L or 904L steel.
>>18735391The funny part is nobody said that but you.
>>18735404To be fair to blueskyanon, I did imply that. Things made in Japan are objectively superior to anything made anywhere else in Asia. I would own that Orient watch if it were made in Japan. I don't even like Seikos that merely say "JAPAN MOVEMENT". I need the real deal "MADE IN JAPAN".
>>18735406Not really. The obvious conclusion to jump to is that manufacture is cheaper in Thailand, not that things made in Thailand aren't good.
>>18735406>watches fully made in Japan are widely known to last just that much longer than watches made elsewhereNOT
>>18735391is this a joke?
>>18735424No. We're talking about Seiko. There's no discernible difference between a watch made in Japan or one made in Malaysia or one made in Thailand because it's all the same BRAND. Duh. There'd be exposé videos all about it if that were the case.
had a conversation with a certified autist recently. he's way more social than me and even has a watch (I don't). it's over

>>18735432You don't need an "expose," people talk about it all the time. Everyone wants to buy the JDM made in japan shit.
>>18735254Watchfags (shills) preach about "timeless heritage" and the "immortal soul" of mechanical watches. But in the real world, the crash is so bad that dealers are literally melting vintage luxury watches for scrap gold. Because gold prices reached historic highs in 2026, mid-tier vintage watches from brands like Omega or TAG Heuer are actually worth more dead than alive. Dealers are scrapping intact, beautiful vintage watches because the melted gold value pays out immediately, while waiting for a retail buyer on the secondary market takes months.
I miss poocel bros..
>>18735559>dealers are literally melting vintage luxury watches for scrap goldlmao no they're not >inB4 you post some article showing one dealer doing it once I bet you can't even post that
>>18735564It happens, but only to the shittiest of shitters that would need a service overhaul to be worth selling.I'm seeing a lot of older daydates for sale on a strap now and it makes me wonder how many of them legitimately lost or damaged the bracelet vs how many just scrapped the bracelet for the gold value and sold the watch on a strap for a little more value.

>>18735596They were absolute maniacs about social pressure and keeping up appearances and devoting yourself to a craft last time I checked, so a fall is honestly probably healthy and I'd think still puts them above average in attention and workmanship.

You're a very smart consumer.
first watchhelp me decide here
>>18735608Get a Casio or Timex if that's your budget.
>>18735605I got a seiko with hardlex recently and I understand most people want sapphire and the prices they're charging now should be enough to cover sapphire, but I think this issue is really overblown. The glass they use is more shatter resistant than sapphire so it's a little safer if you're doing actual work with your beater watch, which is what most of the watches with hardlex would be, and the warmth and distortion you get on the domed hardlex doesn't really exist on sapphire. It's not all downside, it's a choice and there are pros and cons there.
>>18735611Cope.Mineral fucking sucks and is worse than acrylic. You want sapphire on your beater because it will survive anything short of being hit with a brick.

Should've bought one years ago, only thing to bear in mind is that in every demo you'll ever see, they put the watch inside the fucking thing when you're supposed to use it from the top so the flat side is against the watch case and the bevel lifts the bezel off. Needed to crank on the handle with some vice grips though.>>18735611Hardlex is literal garbage. There is no reason to not put sapphire on a watch, I can buy an aftermarket sapphire crystal for 10 bucks, and replace a cracked one in 10 minutes with a 10 dollar tool.
What's the best kind of rubber strap for dive watches? The "tropic" style ones, the Seiko waffle, or what?
>>18735679i want to like them bc they’re so weird but i can’t help hating them
>>18735706Rubber straps always suck.
lol
>>18735717you do this bc you’re not white poop people should not be allowed on white internet
>>18735717A picture of a man holding a piece of shit while showing it next to another piece of shit inside his toilet
I hate the 4:30 date so much it's unreal.Why is Seiko still doing this?Also why the fuck are they still putting LE HARDLEX on $500 watches?
>>18735711Rubber straps are the best straps dummy
>>18735721Who cares, they're still making fucking dinnerplates. Call me when Seiko goes back to making watches for the Japanese, instead of fat retards.>>18735728Nylon is the best if you want something that won't randomly fall off. If you want something good, a bracelet is the only option.
>>18735706"Vulcan" curved style, $100 OEM or $20 on alix>>18735730>randomly fall offFUDwhat kind of misinformation is this? at least put effort into spreading dumb bullshit
MR-G lofi time
>>18735731>FUDRubber cannot handle many basic aspects of daily wear. Sure, it's not as bad as a resin strap, but neither are a good choice for something sporty.
>>18735736g shocks go into trash
I'm gonna buy this Orient Kamasu to use as my general purpose everyday watch to take with me hiking, doing laps at the pool and swimming in the seaside. I don't really do any diving, and if I do I don't really go down past 5m or so (I'm scared). I think it's a fair price to quality proposition, is it not?
>>18735739Sure, they're decent enough. For the same kind of price you could get a nicer NH36 chink diver with a ceramic bezel and a better solid link bracelet, though.
>>18735737lol bruh I said put effort into the bullshit, not double down on the laziest, most misinformed take imaginable. I'm sorry real info is penetrating your safe little corner of the internet.
>>18735742>NH36Interesting. Care to share some examples? I have an orient dealer that handles support locally with amazing reviews, so warranty and repair wise I will be covered without having to send it to chinastan, if that makes any difference. Is the NH36 that much nicer as a movement?
Good evening, gents.It is koff time.
>>18735736i am once again reminding g-shock users that there is an open source app that is much better than the official Casio app. it even lets you automatically send google calendar events as reminders to your watch, so it turns your g-shock into a "dumb" smartwatch.https://github.com/izivkov/CasioGShockSmartSync
>>18735745It's essentially the same, I just prefer the day/date wheel, it's a little more cramped on the Kamasu. I've never had an issue returning shit to china, you get paid return postage on alix anyway. As for examples, just look at San Martin or Steeldive.
>>18735716I literally cannot imagine what type of person would pay over $10k USD for a Grand Seiko.Like, what is that demographic, exactly. Is there any evidence that anyone has paid $32k for one? or even $12k?I know for a fucking fact that unless it's for the purposes of avoiding taxes or money laundering, not a single human being has paid $273k for a GS.
>>18735762Imagine being this poor
>>18735602>They were absolute maniacs about social pressure and keeping up appearances and devoting yourself to a craft last time I checkedA lot of it is surface level. Once you look under it, the decline in that culture is noticeable. The social fabric in Japan has degraded severely. There is a ton of unreported theft, forgery, corruption going on in Japan over the last 15 years at least. In the watch space specifically, be careful with Japanese sellers. Many Japanese scammers have realized they can take advantage of those perceptions from days of old and there are tons of stories about Japanese sellers just disappearing without shipping a product. Also don't trust the quality.Manufacturing itself is also suspect and Japanese people these days will literally just buy stuff from China, it's the same quality.
>>18735762I paid $356,000 for my Grand Seiko
I'm looking for a 37mm diver in titanium that isn't thicker than a stack of hockey pucks, prefer automatic but I'll settle for quartz. Basically my BlackBay 54 but not shiny...any recs?
>>18734766>>18735753nga be sending pics from 2024did ur citizen break 2 years ago, or are you just too lazy to take newer pics?we get that you love The Citizen, but please be more creative ffs
Why get a grey dial? If you want the watch to be dressier, why not commit fully and get a proper dress watch?
>>18735600divers don't use watches
>>18735811I think you Jeets are so disgusting
>>18735811I think that you should switch it around
>>18735775This is a really difficult request that I've personally been looking around for. Every candidate is missing at least one thing - it's not a dive watch, it's not very thin, it's not titanium, it's not under 40mm, or in my case it doesn't have the complications I want.The best overall fit, I think, is the titanium fifty fathoms, but it's not quite as small and thin as you'd like and comes with some other nitpicky garbage about it, not to mention the retail price is ridiculous.
>>18735817A much more attainable option is certina, but they upgraded the cases on these new ones to make them more shock resistant and some other bullshit but it's made them over 13mm thick.
>>18735817Bathyscaph is under 11mm thick but it's not titanium and the tiny markers make it look like the Woll Smoth meme
>>18735817I don't really know why people like titanium. It looks like shit when it gets scratched, and if you want a light watch there are plenty of sensible SS options. What would be really cool, but I've never really seen outside of my own simplistic mods, is steel jacketed titanium. All the benefits of steel, most of the weight savings of titanium. My quartz 37mm shitter diver right now is 81g, and that's with a solid link steel bracelet.
>>18735822Oh shit, they made one with normal looking numerals>not titanium>no date>limited editionFuck off. It really is like they make something fucked up about every watch on purpose.
>>18735823The titanium alloy matters a lot. Almost all affordable options are going to be grade 2 titanium which is the scratch magnet one. Luxury brands USUALLY use grade 5 titanium which is actually harder than stainless steel.Citizen and some others use proprietary technologies with gay names like "super titanium" to make the surface layer of the titanium more scratch resistant. But in the case of Citizen they actually use different "grades" of "super titanium" on watches at different price points, so the $3000 "super titanium" watch is actually a different metal and alloy and level of treatment than the $500 "super titanium" watch and they don't really specify in marketing and manuals and stuff which version you're getting and it gets really nebulous and confusing.
>>18735823>I don't really know why people like titaniumi forget i'm even wearing it, it's so light. i've been dailying a titanium at work and it's such a luxxxury. i also don't like the shine of polished SS at work when i'm in the field with my BB54 or 58. i know brushed is an option but everything is so fucking thick and then we're back to the weight annoyance. >>18735817>>18735822>>18735824these are all great. I love Blancpain, but they're just too "nice" without being dressy. doesn't feel right for doing man shit out in the sun, doesn't feel right with a sport jacket at a snobby dinner, i feel like it'll just be a box queen for life>>18735821interesting....i'll look around for previous gens, thanks
>>18735827>which is actually harder than stainless steel.At the kind of hardness range we're talking about, it's completely meaningless. The problem is that titanium looks like shit when it gets scratched, and steel doesn't. All the coating shit is a scam, the second it does get scratched (because while harder, it's still not that hard), you're boned.
>>18735828>too "nice"Maybe that's true for the fifty fathoms, but every external metal surface on the bathyscaph including the markings on the bezel insert are brushed so it's actually pretty utilitarian.
>>18735832Actually the higher grade titaniums have a limited "self healing" capacity though oxidation over light scratches.>steel doesn't[look like shit when it's scratched]Nah, it gets pretty shitty.
>>18735833yea this is pretty sweet. 11mm tall is nice too.
Does anyone like my new Seiko spirit from 2005?>Sapphire crystal >50 hour power reserve>JDM meme
>>18735707Btw in that photo, Leung is wearing the Guichet 2026 rerelease, the Cartier love bracelet rerelease and a Ralph Lauren sweater.
>>18735833It's also way cheaper and doesn't have the retarded brand engraving on the side of the case.
>>18735780He doesn't have it anymore, he said it himself. It was a leased watch.
>>18735854Who the fuck leases a citizen watch? How do you even do that?
>>18735679I once bought that watch for $80,000 for you guys. And when it sucked I sent it back.
>>18735766This is reddit tier
>>18735721Because they don't even want to be associated with China who is making them look worse every year I guess.
>>18735742This. You could probably get two.
>>18735766That cigar company makes my Cool Water cologne too. Both reek.
>>18735807But lots of people here buy divers and continue to support Seiko. Jody really nails how much the price has gone up over $500 and how unacceptable that is now.
>>18735822>>18735821>>18735817Choose a watch you can afford
>>18735864I could afford any of these? I'd seriously buy one of these >>18735824 if it was available and had a date.
>>18735865If you have to ask (especially a stranger) you can't afford it.
>>18735833>have all this empty space>still have fucktarded date placement
>>18735864>I'm poor so everyone else must be too>makes no senseAre you stupid because you're poor, or poor because you're stupid?
>>18735867I wasn't asking, I was telling you I can and confused why you think I couldn't.
>>18735857I knew that poster was you all the time, Tony.
This is a titanium dive watch in 37mm, now if they could only reduce the height by like 5mm (it's like 15mm or something stupid)
>>18735854>a leased watchlol, a what??
>>18735878If a dive timer isn't mandatory that opens up your options a lot.
I'm shopping for the 1963 Seagull and there's about 900 variants. My main and only concern is keeping the thickness under 13mm for the 38mm version. All the options on alix are 15mm and I feel like I'm overpaying at seagull1963.com. Where else should I be looking?
>>18735878>OMG INTEGRATED BRACELETTiresome
>>18735766Dandruff cigar, cool ig
>>18735911That's not an integrated bracelet. It's just hooded lugs. Calm down.
>>18735911dumbass
>>18735914It's a horriffically bad watch is what it is.
>>18735898https://sugesswatch.com/
>>18735817>dive watch, it's not very thin,
>>18735761>>18735745Phoibos makes really nice ones as well but they are definitely not as cheap as steeldive. San Martin doesn't really seem any cheaper than the Kamasu to be honest unless I am Miss something.
>>18735927There is a surprising variety of dive watches under 12mm.
>>18735876>I wasn't asking>uses question mark
>>18735934Is this your first week studying english?
These threads are pure cringe. Nobody ever posts full fits that a watch would compliment. Just hairy old men wrists and gaming PC keyboards.
>>18735898I own a non-chrono version and its still around 13mm thick, maybe slightly less. Realistically, I don't think you're getting away from that, especially on a chrono. Taking it off a nato and putting it on a regular two piece strap can help some.
>>18735964i don't mind the 13mm so much, i'm just seeing some on alix and ebay that are like 16mm and the prices are all over the map
>>18735963bruh i've been lurking /fa/ for years and i've yet to see one single fit that isn't larp as fuck, everyone here thinks they're some old money Banana Republic model when they're all just midwest flyover state white trash diving through thrift store bins
>>18735975The coffee guy is from Poland if I recall.
>>18735916This is weirdly underwhelming in person. The red dial is great though.
>>18735974Theres other Chinese brands that make the exact same watch, I'm looking now and they say 13.5mm thick. The one I wear was made by Red Star. Sea-Gull didn't invent the design and doesn't hold any rights to it, and other brands (that operate in the same Tianjin watch factoy) make the same watch, often using the exact same parts as Seagull. Think of it like the dirty dozen watch, where multiple manufacturers were making it to the same specs. Look at the pictures in reviews, and if it looks like quality it probably is pretty close to what you'd get from the Seagull website. I think the main difference is that Seagull doesn't put a display case-back on theirs. They all use seagull movements. And ignore the 30 dollar ones that have quartz movements and really cheap flat looking dials.

>>18735996am i banana republic tier model tho is what you said. this is my in dublin with the flu, also clearly homeless
>>18735996Amsterdam, watch in shot
>>18735916Still doesn't answer why it's so thick though.
>>18735996watch in shot
>>18735975don’t even insult /fa/ again
>>18736009location: The Hague
>>18736001also the watches i post definitely go with my fits
>>18736004It's 13.6mm and at least 2mm of that is the boxed and domed crystal. (The version with the rotating bezel is much thicker.) If it had a flat crystal, it would be under 12mm, which is Datejust territory.Zenith is pretty faithful about the dimensions of their revival models, so this is likely what the old one had as well.
Why is some wannabe hobo spamming the thread?
>>18736016For some reason I feel it’s the same mental case who makes the AI pics. He has the same vibe
>>18736015But it doesn't have a flat crystal. So it's a time and date watch over 13mm which automatically makes it a shitter.
>>18736016bc he was saying /fa/ is some flyover never left the midwest digging in the thrift store
>>18736018naw that’s not me i am the chrono poster
>>18736020So that means you spam your travel blog? Fuck off, retard.
>>18736021Okay. This pic >>18736007 btw is pretty cool. The glasses and the fuck Nazis vibe. Reminds me of crossed out swastika photos I saw after Mariupol was liberated.Also here >>18735997 your watch is cool. I really like it. Is it the Hermes swatch from the other thread? That is all I had to say.
>>18736028lol i’m throwing OK with my hands it’s an apple watch with the apple leather magnetic band
>>18736030Someone posted this in the other watch thread I thought it looked cool
>>18735993ok awesome, thanks
>>18736019Muted
>>18736031Ya, i just saw they partnered, don’t care for it apart from pic related if you’re actually diving or /out/ related
>>18734389>>18734374is 36mm the play? kinda scared it will look like im wearing a woman's watch
>>18736013grok tried its best
>>1873604136mm is the play. They have big lugs so they wear bigger, and the 40mm and 41mm oyster cases are too bloated and ostentatious. They're meant to be 36mm.
>>18736031>>18736035Yo fuck AIR MEZ
>>18735854He leased a CITIZEN? and posts pics of it for 2.5 years now? this guy is lame as fuck
How the fuck do you rent a citizen? WTF are you even talking about?
>>18735996>grimThis is the laziest type of post and always the wrong word. Things you think suck are not fucking "grim". Stop using that word.
>>18735997Hey, it's the bigot nutcase hobo before the gangstalking jews got to him. Good fucking riddance.
>>18736066It's not grim because the fit sucks, it's grim because you thought you ate spamming your shit.
>>18736064All nazis are lame as fuck.
>>18736069Ate what?
>>18736065Lol i'm surprised as you are>>18734766but they said this guy rented (fucking rented lolll) his citizen in 2024 and posts pics of it everyday since
>>18736067actually in that pic i was with my CIA handler gf at the time
>>18736073A week or so ago he posted pics from meeting up with the weekdater guy. Did that meetup actually happen 2 years ago and everyone missed it missed it?
Anyone I ever met complaining of 'gang stalking' or other such bullshit was under the influence of meth.Quit the meth and 'they' will stop following/harassing you.

On to the new:>>18736096
>>18735481im not sure how i feel about it on a dress watch still
beater SKX007>replaced hardlex with sapphire crystal>swapped movement to NH36A
>>18736152I don't see how you're that in love with the dial to do all that. In the end how much did it cost?
>>18736184What's not to like about it? I did some similar work on a custom watch, sapphire is like 10 bucks, movement is like 30 bucks. Plus tools because you need a crystal remover and some shit to take the hands off, maybe 60-70 bucks?
bump
>>18736197hardlex is better>replaced movement with same movement
>>18736810Hardlex is shit, and the 007 comes with the 7S26, retard.
