The poors have cluttered up the /wt/ general with chinesium shitters. This is a thread for those of us who enjoy the finer things.
>>18737530horologoy
Rolex, right guys?
My grail watch.
>>18737569that shit is bustedIf you can't drop 10K on a Rolex in good conditions, don't bother.
>>18737570saar
>>18737572I just posted that to find out who liked it and is POOR. I'm rich like you and laugh at dingy cheap shit like sub-$10K Rolexes. Fucking poor idiots with no riches. LOL
>>18737530Okay. Let’s do a roll call on all watches which aren’t shitters.Cartier tank? Check.Rolex perpetual oyster? Check.Yup. That’s all of them.
>>18737579I have the exact same myopically snobby tastes as you. Can we be brothers? Wanna go yachting?
Another totally affordable watch that is better than your shitter. This was pocket change to me.
>>18737530Finally, a thread without poors
>>18737719cool stuffs
fanciful
>>18737719>Howard the Duck, now available in silverLOL, you're one of those retards who converted cash to coins because you think the economy is going to tank and those will be worth more than currency. You have a bunker too? Visible swastika. So you're kind of a piece of shit. Also, this is a joke thread. I'm the poorest motherfucker here and I mainly post "shitters" and made this thread to contain the snobs. Check out this $25 quartz wonder.
>>18737772The problem with the watch threads on here is it's usually the poorfags that are the snobs ironically enough. They will shit on you for spending more than 300 dollars on a watch, and it's damn near impossible to discuss anything in the 2-8k range because of that. The truth is all watches are a want and not a need, yes even your 25 dollar Chinese quartz watch. It's 2026. We are all practically mandated to carry smartphones that constantly synchronize with satellites to give us a more accurate time than any watch, quartz or mechanical, ever could. Some of us have the money to spend on 5000 dollar watches. Is it a waste of money? Probably, but so is the "shitter" watch you posted.
>>18737800You're not wrong. If /wt/ were /jewelry general/ it would probably be more self-aware. At least the /frag/ posters are aware that enjoyment of a cologne can be subjective.Because watches have a mechanical function, they attract a particular brand of autist who think they can quantify what constitutes the perfect watch. Because they're autistic, they don't deal particularly well with frustration or disagreement.
>>18737803Watches especially nowadays are just high end jewelry. You are right. I have been posting there for a while and I don't even know what a watch movement is or how they differentiate them from one another- what makes a good or bad one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCjfb6__YMI
>>18737816You shouldn't be okay with or proud of being ignorant. You shouldn't even disclose that you're so dumb. But we knew that already because you have one broken watch and you don't ever stop posting it. WTF
>>18737817I don’t even know how movements work but I post there every day. That’s who you’re posting with btw ;)
>>18737826Why are you proud of being stupid? Why are you winking? I really don't understand why you'd be proud of your ignorance, but there's a lot about incels and just most 4chan users that I will never understand. ";)"
>>18737817>> you have one broken watch and you don't ever stop posting it.That’s actually not true btw. I have Kenneth Cole shitters secondhand hand me downs and also a 500 dollar or something Waltham pocket watch my grandfather was gifted by the railroad company he worked for. >>18737830Why do you reply to me constantly, pretend to be a homeless man and spam AI pics to “troll” me if you aren’t obsessed?
>>18737831Was *given*. No one said "gifted" as a verb until the 1990s. And it's wrong. Also, I don't think I've ever replied to you before and I don't pretend to be homeless. What's with you people thinking everyone who annoys you is just ONE person?You and your broken watch and anyone engaging with you are pure cancer and until just now I've had nothing to do with it but wincing when I see your watch or the picture of the fedora virgin doofus wearing it and smiling. Now that I've seen you post your cutesy emojis about how hilarious it is that you can't even understand how watches work I hate you even more.Fuck off, schizo. You aren't keeping up very well.
>>18737833I don't believe you at all. Only one guy gets this worked up enough to spaz like you are doing now. Had you just left me alone instead of spamming every watch thread I'd have gotten bored and left but I came back just to annoy you.
>>18737833You ruined the general by spamming (I don't care if you want to troll the general just don't use me to troll).I would have absolutely gone away by now but I came back just because of how ticked off you make me. Other posters there clearly don't like you either.
>>18737834>>18737838Dude, I've never engaged you before. And you're clearly describing three different anons who are also not me. You're clearly just as paranoid and fucked up as the homeless guy, the A.I. guy who hates tanks enough to bug you, and whoever is "replying to you constantly". I'm one person that most people hate for a very specific reason. I'm my own separate character. I ruined the general? I made this thread and I make all the shitter threads and over half of the generals. I have until today ignored you and your dead Cartier. And I will continue to ignore you after this post. And now you can think there are four people after you the next time some random anon addresses you once. Fucking schizo hipster faggot.
This is my grail that I really want to buy and wear.Let's see yours, fellow richfags.
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.
This is my dream collection right here.
>>18737530Looks chinesiumy
This is $700 so it counts as luxury to me.
This one looks pretty classy. And if you mumble it against a strong wind it might sound like 'Rolex'.
Poorness is a mental disease.
>>18738012Please lock me up in an institution then. Some disassociative drugs and 3 meals a day. Then when I'm cured I'll have a bunch of money. Shit! Sorry to intrude on your guys' thread. Just browsing. Very envious of whatever you've got there. I gather through context they are rich guy watches. You're the better man. The saner man.
>>18738012*poverty is really a more appropriate word than 'poorness' since I'm assuming you meant financially. Couldn't daddy buy you an education?
>>18737883One man's trash is another man's treasure.
>>18737772I bought all my silver when spot price was ~$22 because I thought it would go up. It did. sorry you're poor, dumb, and terminally angry. maybe work on yourself and your mind and your life won't suck so much.
>>18738012Such a closeted faggot brand. 60+ leather daddys who lets dogs fuck them in their estates kinda vibe.
>>18737772>I'm the poorest motherfucker here>super angry and retarded checks out
>>18737772Thats probably the best shitter you've found; they take left over "toruist" grade rolex rep parts - stick quartz movements in them and then liquidate them for next to nothing.
>>18737834Hes a leftist, middle school teacher (currently unemployed). Hence the impotent authority and delusional inferiority complex
Why would you buy a $500 steak when a $3.00 McDouble is all you need? Its literally the same quality and ingredients. And no, the Mcdouble being made by a unwashed Chinaman and the Steak by a professional Fench chef mean NOTHING. CHUD.
These are a beautiful take on the Speedy and are relatively cheap. Are they generally shat on or are they slept on?
>>18738193McDonalds isn't even food, animals won't eat it
>>18737816
>>18738339>stalking a poster across multiple threadsyou really need to seek professional help
>>18738193i wouldn't buy a $500 steak when a $40 steak is all i need
>>18738137Sorry you harbor nazi sympathies you are not ashamed of. That is not okay.
>>18738416go back to your poor containment thread, this is for people with careers and brains
>>18738462This is MY thread that I made. You can leave if you don't like it, Heinrich.
>>18738477
>>18738526
>>18737530$63 and just as good
I love the texture and color on that dial
>>18738618Yeah, me too. I wish the power reserve wasn't on there, but I could get used to it maybe. I don't know if it's worth six-thousand dollars but it's pretty fuckin' good.
>>18738730>I don't know if it's worth six-thousand dollarsAren't they supposed to have really good build quality and finishing?
>>18738613>>18738615>>18738617cool story bro
>>18738012I am looking at getting the power reserve model. I'm guessing these will go for a 20% discount or something similar on the gray market in a year.
>>18738735Six thousand dollars, pal. I don't need a watch with such "build quality and finishing". The smooth sweep spring drive (assuming it's that kind) and the dial is what attracts me at all. Ever since seeing the video of the dude who went to Japan to buy his GS and the second hand was misaligned and they wouldn't refund him, I knew I'd never want one. But that's just me. I would maybe spend that kind of money on a car but not a watch. I'd sooner spend $6K on a painting really.
>>18738232that's a weird speedy, WTF is it. I know they have 101 shapes and sizes now
This looks pretty cool
Never mind...
>>18738618I've seen it in person and was really underwhelmed.It's okay but all the renders and product shoots make it look a lot better than it actually is.
>>18737530c-can i post here>>18737719nice AP fellow pmg bro.
>>18738137what do you think of the new FXD GMT? i really dig the fixed bars
>>18740044always loved that Tissot >>18740045I'm a Tudor whore so I'm biased. Fixed bars is nuts though, they really want to put it in the milspec arena and keep it there I guess. 42mm is a big dog, gonna need some meaty forearms to pull that off. But Tudor could shit in a wet paper bag and I'd find a way to like it.
>>18740047>always loved that Tissot it's my first Swiss watch so it'll be special to me forever. ETA classic workhorse with COSC, what reasonable person could be a snob about the name. Though Tissot does unashamedly imitate more expensive brand signatures I will admit.Hmmm, I'm not a fan of the snowflakes or dots but the Marine Nationale FXD GMT does something to me. METAS and COSC for ~5k is something. The older blue dial model doesn't appeal to me.Tbh for a next piece I'd move up to Longines Spirit Zulu, that Tudor or a Black Bay, or the Oris Artelier; it's so beautiful bros. Or the Oris Star for the Dan Draper drip. Vintage Omega with 565 movement is calling my name but damn it's a gamble.
>>18740078this thread was active when i found it, i didn't "bump" it. and desu this thread is pretty comfy. this anon: >>18739489 is entirely correct
>>18740080This anon is reposting some months old stale pasta. Don't take it too seriously.
>>18740081it may be a pasta but it's accurate.
>>18740082>COSC'd shitpostOf course it is.
>>18740057>Though Tissot does unashamedly imitate more expensive brand signatures I will admit.Tissot is a legitimate brand with more legacy than Tudor or Oris.Just because they are now the lower pricepoint of the Swatch group doesn't mean that it's not a legit brand.
I'm getting ads for orient and the Tiffany blue one looked nice then I saw they wanted 400 dollars lol. I thought orient was some cheap shit like those Russian watches you guys unironically wear.
>>18740103>Tiffany blueThis meme as to go.It's "Tiffany blue" when Tiffany does it, otherwise it's just baby blue or light blue.
>>18740107Melty?
>>18740078Why are you boycotting this thread??
>>18740111Today i'm wearing a Tom Ford black t-shirt and Hermes orange H&M shorts.I bes luxury now.
>>18740117WHY ARE YOU BUMPING THIS THREAD???WE HAVE OTHER GENERALS!!!
>>18740089>Tissot is a legitimate brand with more legacy than Tudor or Oris.>Just because they are now the lower pricepoint of the Swatch group doesn't mean that it's not a legit brand.I never claimed any of those things. Calm your tits groovebones.
>>18740139nice
is this watch too poor for this fancy thread??
>>18740579I hope a nuke never goes off in my lifetime.
I'm a Rolex man myself.
>>18741151Based.
>>18737880>Pride RolexReally nigga?
>>18740578Don't know, but it looks fancier than 90% of the watches here.
>>18737530We need this thread more than ever. "chink shit" is being discussed!!!
>>18738526wtc Nazi PMs?>>18738554stfu fag
>>18737579Santos >>> Tank I dont make the rules
>>18743117Santos-Dumont, not Santos.
>>18737569How is this superior to a Casio Duro? Or a Citizen Promaster even?
>>18743130I just said I dont make the rules dude
>>18743143Yeah, no problem, you just forgot the “-Dumont”. It’s a common typo. I just didn’t want people new to watches getting confused and buying a shitter Santos instead of the proper original model.
>>18737530post your main pieces and edc
>>18742929I love watches designed to stop plebs from taking the time off of you without permission.
>>18743379>edcCringe.
>>18743379>IWCStop ban-evading poo-poster!
>EDC
>>18743387carrying things every day is cringe? c'mon man, you can bait better, i believe in you>>18743393poo poster has a mark xxalso clearly a gentleman as well
>>18743379You wear two watches?
>>18743398yes, usually not at the same time
>>18743401Then it's not an EDC.
>>18743379There's nothing more embarrassing than being around a middle-class man pretending he's rich.
>>18743431What about posting unsolicited pictures of your shit online?
>>18743152No one comes here for recommendations and buys Cartier based on what you larpers post.
>>18743379You should fit more stuff in the frame that you think will impress anyone, retard.
>>18743442>What about posting unsolicited pictures of your shit online?I couldn't say. I would never stoop so low as to buy an IWC.
>>18743446He's right though. The Santos is for enjoyers of hip-hop and basketball. The Santos-Dumont is a based and elegant design. Funny how the watches are so similar yet appeal to such different demographics.
>>18743454I don't see anyone here who actually wears either of them, so it doesn't matter who they "appeal" to. Gay ladies watches anyway.
>>18743456>I don't see anyone here who actually wears either of themThere's at least one poster here who owns an S-D.>Gay ladies watches anyway.Wearing a 46mm Breitling on your 14cm wrist definitely makes you look less gay. That's for sure.But, I'm just messing around. Don't worry, haha. Enjoy your Casio.
>>18743454santos dumont is just a little quartz fashion watch at this point.
>>18743459Tell me, Dontrelle, what is the best brand of grape soda?
>>18743460Your post doesn't make any sense.
>>18743460Where's the lie though?
>>18743529There isn't one. He pivoted to some unrelated racist bullshit because you busted him. Overpriced quartz watch must be respected and if you don't you just be "BLACK". This is the kind of simpleton we have to share this forum with.
>>18743535It sucks because the handwound ones are great but in the current lineup they only give you a manual movement if you buy one of the all gold or platinum models. Even the 2 tone santos dumont is quartz.
>>18743447>impress anyoneis that why you bought your shit?>post it you won't
>>18743452you wish they would let niggers like you into an IWC boutique, too bad they don't accept food stamps
>POV: You're about to catch the most devastating L-on-forehead gesture of your life
>>18743562Every time I've ever gone into an IWC dealer I was the only customer there and the salespeople looked halfway ready to start standing in front of the store waving people down and begging them to come in.
>>18743566>I was the only customer thereyes that's because all the affluent white people fled when you entered >salespeople looked halfway ready to start standing in front of the store waving people down and begging them to come in.they probably needed help with the rowdy nigger chimping out barking GIBS ME DAT
>>18743542Are you complaining that entry-level pieces are entry-level? Come on, now.Everyone knows there are two Cartiers: one for the entry-level buyer and then the real Cartier. The platinum-case aventurine dial Santos-Dumont is not the same thing as your boss’ wife’s steel quartz Panthère. All she wanted was the name one the dial.
>>18737800Speak for yourself I use an atomic watch
>>18743671I'm complaining that they're not offering many options for mechanical watches under $20k. I don't feel like it's asking a lot to get a handwound steel santos dumont under 10k.
>>18743921Honestly, quartz in a Cartier doesn’t bother me. It makes the watch smaller and thinner. She once it’s just two hands, no seconds hand, you can’t see the ticking anyway.
>>18743924Damn, too bad that's not the point and nobody asked for your opinion.
>>18743565the ones who eat babies are always covering one eye
>>18743921>waaaaah!!! I want my poorfag tier watches to have top level quality.Why don’t you try getting a job?
>>18743928If you can’t afford mechanical, then it is the point. Enjoy your Casio.
>>18743934Where in this thread did anybody say that?
>>18743937Here >>18743921 for example. Homie doesn’t understand the cardinal rule of Cartier: >>18743671
>>18743934>implying putting a mechanical movement in a watch changes anything about how it's finishedIt would have the same finish as the quartz steel watch.
>>18743939I understand all that, I just don't understand why it's not possible to put a mechanical movement in the same exact watch but made of steel, or why doing so is going to dismantle class structures or something.I can buy a mechanical santos in steel in any size all day but I can't get a steel santos dumont, panthere, or tank mechanical. They have to be quartz. Is there any actual good reason why? I'm not even saying don't make the quartz versions.
>>18743944>Is there any actual good reason why?Probably because the Santos is meant to be a mass-market watch, while the Tank and Santos-Dumont are their most historical flagship models. They probably want to protect the high status of them or something.(The Panthere has only ever been quartz, so that’s traditional for that model anyway.)
>>18743946dumont is not more iconic or flagship than regular santos. And by that logic wouldn't the regular be more premium because you're operating on the idea that mechanical makes a watch premium? Your argument makes no sense.
>>18743946>Guys, the Santos-Dumont is SO ICONIC that we have to protect it from falling into the hands of poors>..... Except we're going to make a steel quartz version and it's going to be one of our cheapest watches
i just saw some fancy watches at the pawn shop too bad my camera is a poop i was there selling phone

>>18743379How does showing off a Mitsubishi and an 00z Mercedes come across as acting rich to you people?
>>18744207TRYING to act rich. Trying, anon.
>>18744207the poorfag mentality is so baked in here that it's become a knee jerk reaction at this point
>>18744207When people ask what you drive do you say a Mercedes or a 2002 c class?
>>18743991Not a big fan of the Arabic numerals. Return it and get a watch with Latin numerals.
>>18744209if you think that's trying to look "rich" you must think living in a tent under a bridge is middle class
>>18744266you know you're not actually allowed to post expensive things here, most posters live in a trailer in a flyover state and reeeee when they're reminded of people with jobspicrel90s BMW cuts them off on the highway and they probably think it's a rockefeller en route to an illuminati meeting

>>18744379You can go to certain spots with a sign and time table. Buses stop their at predefined intervals and allow passengers to enter. So you can go there, wait for the bus, let it take you to your desired destination and then you get out again.
>>18744706That doesn't make the Alpinist worth the cost. Do you just pretend that you buy things no matter what the price? You don't. You don't have the watch and you cannot defend it.
>>18744749What was wrong with your car?
>>18744778You're taking this way too far. Acting like it's unheard of to ever ride in a bus ever. As if from your lofty rich palace one would never ever be caught dead on a bus. You live in a slum and don't even have a bicycle, faggot.
>>18744781>Enraged screeching and baseless accusations.Jesus, you took that way too personally.I just asked a question.
>>18744781>Acting like it's unheard of to ever ride in a bus ever.If you live in New York City or something, even millionaires take the subway. If you live in a "podunk town" (>>18744337) small enough to where it has a single bus driver, the bus is exclusively for the homeless and drug addicts.
>>18744784Imagine living a life where you have never experienced things. Even if you think, incorrectly, that those things are beneath you. If you travel and get into adventures you will experience things that may not fit into your simple little life that's either New York City or "podunk town".Fucking travel, see the world, experience life. LOL, who the fuck has never been on a bus before. School bus? You never took a field trip? You never rode precariously close to the edge of a cliff on an ancient bus in South America with luggage and chickens on the roof en route to an ayahuasca shaman's village? Fucking SAD, brother.
Busses are for poors. End of discussion.
>>18744786>I'm so rich, I've traveled the worldOK, now you're just LARPing.Let's all calm down. You tried to say something stupid about Rolex and probably realized after the fact that you left yourself open to be made fun of. It's understandable. Everyone's done it. You should learn to just drop it instead of doubling down. Eventually this thread will hit the bump limit and people will forget. Just relax, kid. We're here to talk about watches.

Is the point of this thread to flex your imaginary money to strangers online, or to discuss engineering and craftmanship as an art form?Anyways, opinions on Maurice Lacroix?Or, what's the best comfortable and indestructible diver for less than ~3k. I need a reason besides looks to not just get a g-shock
>>18745063Why the fuck would you jump from Casio to $3,000.00?There's no reason for a watch to cost more than five hundred. No, I'm not poor. I'm just not retarded.
>>18745063>Is the point of this thread to flex your imaginary money to strangers online,Close. It's to blindly attack anyone who thinks you're poor by accusing them of being poor, like this dipshit >>18745045
>>18745068The word poor should never come up in the first place. Don't call me poor and I won't throw it back in your poverty-stricken face, incel.
>>18745073>incelWell now we can all tell you're projecting.
>>18745073If you don't like being called poor then tell the thread what term you'd prefer. "Economically disadvantaged"? "Under resourced"? "Temporarily embarrassed millionaire"?

can the guy who posts his shit stop getting fucking banned on my ip range every fucking day I have to airplane mode and it's pissing me off
>>18745078>>18745077And why am I poor in the first place? Because I don't want a Rolex or think watches are worth $3K? You're fucking retarded and I assure you I have more money than you do. And more and better watches too. Faggots.
>>18745068In that particular case I think it's all very Ameribrained, since you need to price out blacks from your general vicinity at all times, and have done this long enough that it became second nature and you forgot the original reason you do it. https://theamericansun.substack.com/p/suburbs-as-defensive-architectureAnd then libtards try to call you out without actually understanding what the original issue is. And you argue back equally clueless, because your entire identity is subsumed by politics and a very crude understanding of status (as opposed to blood and soil, peer group, and lasting personal achievement), which is why you'll get into a waiting list to get a particular brand on your wrist (you have no clue about mechanical engineering)>>18745079Thanks. How much urgent mainitnance would I be looking at, realistically?
>>18745218>Ameribrained blah blah blahYou, on the other hand, have an expert level of insight into American culture, politics, and psychology after having read someone's blog post on substack. fucking idiot lmao

>>18745191Don't do it, anon! This guy >>18745258 is trying to trick you into posting your watches! Ride the bus proudly!
>>18745218>Thanks. How much urgent mainitnance would I be looking at, realistically?Not that much, actually. Those watches were extremely reliable.* The movements were just slightly modified ETA 2983s. Worst-case scenario, the seals are starting to degrade so it's not 300m waterproof anymore. *Note that I'm talking about the pre-coaxial models. They also made quartz versions which are excellent.
>>18745083I don't think >>18745354 he got the message
>>18737530When you have billionaires using just Casio instead of your "premium" brands it says a lot about how pretentious is this dogshit of a board.
>>18745400I'm sorry you're so angry. I'm sorry your life didn't turn out the way you wanted it to. I wish more things had gone your way.
>>18745400A lot of billionaires wear Hanes t shirts and drive a 90s Camry, doesn't mean anything. fuck off back your goon cave
>>18745405>>18745410>wasting money you don't even have so you can get other men's attentionGood job at proving my point lmao.
>>18745416that's not even remotely what happened but keep trying >get other men's attentionlol is this what drives you? tell us about it
>>18745400The fact that they wear casio when they're doing interviews and fundraisers and general pandering doesn't mean they don't also have the good stuff.
>>18745400>>18745410that's just them signaling to normies "look I'm one of you, you can trust me"
>>18745405>>18745410LOL, look at these posers doing everything they can to still attempt, failingly, to defend "luxury" priced watches. Watches they cannot afford and will NEVER personally own. Their entire identities are inexplicably fused to pretending they are above someone, anyone. So if you question a $30,000 watch or declare that you don't like Rolex, you're "POOR" and you ride the bus and you don't get to post here with the guys pretending they are rich and better than you.Oh fucking no. LOLOLOL
>>18745511This.At least you have the courage to admit you're poor and will never rise above your station. Most posters here will never develop that level of self-awareness. I salute you.
>>18745511poverty is ugly, yes, we knowthanks for posting
>>18745544>>18745577You don't have any money though. You are these posers I post of. Glad you are aware of yourselves.
>>18745616I have plenty of money. Most of us do, actually. Just not you. You need to believe everyone here is as poor as you are.
>>18745647Sure ya do, bud. LOLSure ya do. And I definitely DON'T.
>>18745647160sqm apartment, three 80sqm rental properties, i can live for free forever and buy multiple luxury watches per year. It's not much but it's more than you will ever have.
Blancpain is the pinnacle.
>>18746057can't afford a Breguet?
>>18746150But you can. And that's why all of your posts are snide insults at "the poors".And you fucking assholes still complain that anyone gives you any shit. Your superior attitude is uncalled for, unearned, and complete horseshit.
>>18744380Nothing is wrong with it, it’s a very well respected watch and it looks great. I’ve been through ~10 watches and currently have a Vacheron Constantin, a Zenith El Primo, couple of IWCs, and an Omega. But now looking at getting a Timex Solar jest for I like the way it looks and the simplicity. Get the one you like and will wear and never ask the internet what they think of it, it’s for you so enjoy and be proud of it.
>>18746218someone didn't get their government assistance check this week
>>18746231No, he's just mad that the bracelet on my ROak Jumbo is worth more than his entire collection of shitters and car combined.
>>18746238Yes, people are "mad" at your fake watch. You're trying to flex on 4chan and you're rude to people who don't pretend to be wealthy. You're a shitty person.
>>18746250the only thing fake here is your confidence
>>18746256Your bank account.
trying to decide between these three for a certain aesthetic I'm going for, the longines is in the run mainly for the gmt, I'm leaning omega, thoughts?
>>18743132you put casio above citizen cos you're POOR
>>18746286Why not buy them all? You can certainly afford to.
>>18746286I'd go with the omega, mostly just because I don't like dive watches/gmts, but the aqua terra is a really nice watch. It is less elegant/has worse proportions than a rolex OP/DJ though imo, so I would personally opt for one of those.What's the "certain aesthetic" you're going for?
>>18746150Considering many blancpains are more expensive than the breguet equivalent, this comment doesn't even make sense.
>>18746286That's not the same budget, the Tudor is twice the prince of the Longines.I'd say get the Tudor because i'm tired of Aqua Terras.
>>18746335>t. can’t afford either
Poison dart frog or Monster energy?
>>18744380What's that, on your wrist? Seiko Alpinist ?!?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-btPgPoAI8
>>18746351I'm actually considering buying a blancpain in the next year or so.
>>18746057Vladimir Putin's favorite watch brand. Unsure how he can afford them with his humble government salary, but he sure loves his Blancpains.
>>18746441Vlad the poker has two favorite watch brands, IWC first then Blancpain.His favorite clothes are Loro Piana.
the guy obsessed with class and social stature is on one today. The latest thread he created should be grounds for a site wide ban in my opinion, literally intent on destroying the entire board by demanding that everyone is paying attention to him. i understand why the janitors would give him the leeway to mess around in /wt/, as it can serve as a containment space, but allowing to turn the whole board into his playground is silly
>>18746459yeah, liberal democrats are insufferable
>>18746294takes up too much space>>18746304I already have a DJ, I want something a little more casual looking>>18746349doesn't need to be the same budget, maybe I should check out some tudors in person >>18746286open to suggestions these were the main ones that caught my eye
>>18746525>I already have a DJ, I want something a little more casual looking99%+ of people won’t even notice a difference on a subconscious level. You’re basically just buying the same watch again. It’s like buying the Adidas version of the Maison Margiela GAT sneakers to have something more casual.
>>18737530I think AP could bring back the Cobra. Then they’d at least have a second actually nice watch in their lineup.
>>18746662i could see women wearing this but i don't think it'll exactly sell like hotcakes
>>18746658I don't know what it is but there's a serious problem of people buying the same watch over and over. Like how many blue sports watches can you buy before realizing your collection has no actual variety?
>>18746682Yeah it wouldn't exactly be a mass-market product.But it definitely has the potential to generate hype. It's a Genta design, and it stands out without being too crude. It could appeal to people who vaguely like the iced-out aesthetic but don’t actually want to buy an iced-out watch (especially since those watches have fallen out of favour so much that even rappers seem embarrassed by them now).Vacheron's revival of the 222 with it's 70s design was a success, so that could serve as inspiration for AP.
>>18746742Gun owners have the same problem. People post collections that are 50% just a bunch of ar15s all the time.I think it's just a shopping addiction for these people. Having or enjoying the items comes secondary to the dopamine hit from buying them.
>>18746745>it stands out it certainly does>without being too crudemight have to disagree with you there lolIdk, it's too abstract for today I feel like. Fashion in general is kind of stale at the moment, watches too, everything is kind of streamlined and numbed out currently.I do adore the vc222, there isn't a single thing wrong about it, it's perfect
>>18746791Perfectly priced too! Not charging a single cent more than it's worth.
I'm only posting that because I'm poor of course. Obviously I'm coping with desperately wanting it.
>>18746794Coping with living on a child's anime website. Good thing it's free ;)

>>18747805>looks
Have any of you had any experience with Praesidus? I'm on Active Duty and I need a watch that looks nice but is also fairly conservative to meet uniform standards. My current watch is a piece of dogshit that I've just never really bothered to upgrade, so I am coming into this knowing jack and shit about watches in general>pic related, what I'm looking at right now
>>18749138get a citizen eco drive. It'll keep time well if has the radio time sync no matter if you're dying for israel in Iran or back home!
>>18749138Does it actually have that ridiculous boast about their great contribution to modern warfare on it??
>>18749147Regular eco-drives have super accurate movements already too.
>>18749148ah shit I didn't notice that. That's a good question, I hope not.
>>18749138just get a hamilton
>>18737530I'm thinking of getting this timepiece. Someone tell me why I should or shouldn't.
>>18749380Rolex cope
>>18749380>shouldn'tThe fake guilloche is gay, "rotor self-winding" is gayerMore practically/less subjectively, 38hr power reserve sucks, you have to wear it or wind it every single day, which is especially a pain in the ass with a date to mess with every time it stops
>>18749406It's one of the few Tudors that isn't a Rolex cope though. If you wear a Black Bay you want a Submariner and if you wear a Prince you want a Datejust. There's no Rolex that looks like the 1926.>>18749411I think the dial looks good.That's a good point about the power reserve but 38 hours > 1 day.
>>18749415>38 hours > 1 day.If you wear it on Friday and take it off at 10pm to go to bed, 38 hours later is noon on Sunday. If you took it off as soon as you got home from work it's stopped early Sunday morning.For me if it's stopped on the morning/afternoon of the second day of not wearing it, that practically feels like I have to remember to wear/wind it every day.If I were you I'd look at longines in that price segment, something like the L2.949.4.73.2 is similar but arguably better
>>18749432>something like the L2.949.4.73.2 is similar but arguably betterI like it, just a shame that it only comes in 39mm and not 36mm which usually looks better in white.
I just saw this two-tone 3700 at a very reputable, long-established grey-market dealer for €70k ($80k). It comes without box or papers, but with an official extract from the archives and a brand-new Patek service.Those are almost relatively """realistic""" prices again when you compare them with Day-Dates and Royal Oaks. Maybe if one with a blue dial eventually turns up at that price and in that condition, I might become a Patek owner after all.
>>18749646>I might become a Patek owner after all.It has to be a Nautilus?
>>18749380Loos like pure ASS
>>18749646Wow. You want that brand so badly you'd drop $80K for a used one?
>>18749380Get it if you like it. Don't ask the opinions of these snobbish asswipes.

>>18749380My grail actually
avg rolex wearer
>>18749772Does anyone, with very few exceptions, really get themselves onto the ‘good boy’ list just to eventually buy a particular watch? Or are they now practically all just suppliers of grey-market dealers?
>>18750085Some people do that, but it's really the wrong way to approach it and you shouldn't participate in the bullshit if your dealer is being too demanding about it. If they're making you wait years for a simple watch or if they lay it on the line that they expect you to buy so many watches or so many bracelets or sings or some shit before they'll give you a watch you want you're better off going to a different store that is serious about having you as a customer and valuing your time and their own over playing these petty bullshit games.The store near me gave me the runaround for several years when all I was asking for was a fuckin datejust. I could almost understand if I was acting like I might be just another asshole trying to scalp a rare piece like a daytona or a rare dial OP or pepsi or something, but I was only asking for a basic ass datejust in not even a particularly desirable or rare configuration and they just wouldn't help me. I went to another store farther away and they had the exact watch I asked for within 6 months or so.Some dealers take the game and the hustle of it all way too fucking seriously, and nobody should tolerate that bullshit if they see it. If I ask for a daytona I'm not asking what hoops I need to jump through or buying a bunch of jewelry for my wife just to try to get the daytona allocation. If that means I have to wait 10 years then that's what it's going to be.
>>18750495By waiting ten years you are playing their game though. Why the FUCK would you really think a Daytona was not only worth the price, but worth waiting ten years for?This whole thing is really just so they can make sure you're going to keep the watch? That's preposterous. It's false scarcity. You're paying for the "brand ambassadors". I got my copy of Time Magazine the other day and the first ad inside and the back cover were for Rolex. James Cameron, Leo, some golfers and tennis people.... It's all so fucking stupid. You're invested in the *idea* of Rolex. The name means something to you for some reason and that's just fucking sad.
>>18750500>You're invested in the *idea* of Rolex. The name means something to you for some reason and that's just fucking sad.Or maybe the guy just likes quality watches, which rolexes undeniably are, unless you're absolutely deluded by hate and jealousy
>>18750505Yes, I'm so jealous of someone who thinks you need thirty thousand dollars to get quality. And I hate them also.lol
>>18750500It's not playing the game because I'm not going along with their carrot-on-a-stick approach of using desirable Rolex to unload toxic sludge from their inventory.I bought a datejust and I'm really enjoying it, one day I'll probably get another watch that doesn't exist yet like if they make a milgauss successor with the new movement or a 37mm submariner or a titanium explorer or something else kind of fresh and interesting, I'm planning to celebrate my retirement from my career one day by buying a yellow gold daydate. But you're not going to catch me acting like the guy in the screenshot, buying every woman in the family datejusts praying it gets me the daytona call faster. That's what they're trying to make you do. I'm not doing that, I'll never buy a watch I don't want trying to get one I do.
My wife's mother seems to want a Rolex. I guess she's been talking about watches lately and asking about my watches, and the other day she asked me about my Rolex and we talked about watches a little bit. I think she must be looking at getting something nice for when she retires in a year or two. But my wife said it's too much money and if we were going to do it we'd have to get the other siblings to agree and put in money and she doesn't really need a Rolex anyway. But I think it would be a really nice gift. I almost wish my mom gave a fuck about watches so I could get her something cool.
>let's pool the money so grandma can enjoy a Rolex in her dementia yearsHow fucking ridiculous. What a nightmare.
>>18751125Granny is still sharp and helping to raise the grandkids.
>>18751130Get her a replica. That truly makes the most sense. If the experts can barely tell the difference she certainly won't know. And then it's a few hundred rather than over $10,000 or whatever Rolexes, even for ladies must cost.
>>18751102>no it was my wife's mother
>>18751133Mom didn't give you a lifetime of real love and support to be repaid with fake bullshit. gtfoh.
>>18751141lol, it's not even your own mom. Sure, everyone kick in $7K so granny can have a REAL Rolex. You're an idiot. Do whatever you want. Hint: You won't be buying your mother in law any Rolex.
>>18751148I'm honestly not seeing the problem. It would probably be more like everyone kicks in $2k, btw.
>>18737719That's a lot of money for a butt ugly watch.
>>18751130>Granny is still sharp>wants a 10k trinket doubt
>boomers were never taught the value of moneyah and there you have it
>>18751796Is that a lot to ask after hustling your whole life to build up from poverty to a multi million dollar household and push 4 kids into successful adult lives with careers in medicine and engineering? I really don't think it is. If all she wants is a datejust, fuckin hell, get the lady a datejust I say.
>hustling your whole life to build up from poverty to a multi million dollar household>still can buy a basic rolexPOOR
>>18752035>>>/pol/540265569 your multi million dollar household is fake and gay btw
>>18752053I don't know if you realize this, but absolutely nothing about the way they portrayed "poverty" in Married With Children is realistic in any way. There was NEVER a time where you'd have a house like theirs with a big yard and all that shit in it with everyone dressed like they did off of one guy working in a fucking mall shoe store. The Bundys are not the epic capitalism takedown commies act like it is. They're literally not even real.
>>18752055Why are you bringing up a fictional TV show from 35 years ago?
