Legacy /wt/ EDITIONPrevious thread: >>18737064
I'm about to get this watch because I'm broke and I need something for work. I plan on getting something nicer later but this should do well enough until then, I suppose.
lofi vibes
3000 dolleray for this Breitling much more subtle
A /wt/ simply is not a watch thread without, you guessed it, a Navitimer.
What makes it so SOVLful?
>>18738121For this price you could hardly do better. Good choice
Oh my gosh I am in love.
>>18738130I'll pull the trigger on that one once there's one around 2K.I like that it's only around 10mm thickness, and it's not LARPing as something it's not, it's a real classic watch with its own identity.
What does /fa/ think about the German watchmaker Junghans. There’s just something so clean about them. For the serious gentlemen.
>>18738135>>18738136I'm stuck between the quartz and automatic Max Bill. Part of me wants to get my first automatic, so have a piece of history and the satisfying swoop. The other part makes it hard for me to justify double the price, extra weight on the wrist and maintenance costs.
>>18738148>Max Bill so mfing C L E A N no noise straight to the point it’s just so German
>Max Bill
>Max Bill.

>>18738141good morning sir!!
>>18738135Handwound no date is the patrician choice.Two things to be careful of:-they size big because they are all dial (a 34mm = a 38mm on a normal watch)-they switched from acrylic to sapphire in 2019 or something, so if you don't like acrylic don't buy older models.
>>18738165I wish there was a quartz version without the calendar. It throws off the symmetry.
>>18738134I'm hoping they dump a bunch of different color dials all at once like they did with the legend diver.
>>18738135They are the timex of Europe.
>>18738182Swatches are the Timex of Europe
>>18738135I like some Form A models.
>>18738182>>18738185both swatch and timex make me want to kms but Junghans are comfy af
gib
>>18738124>>18738128>>18738194Is dumpster-watches anon a new character in the /wt/ universe?
>>18738202i don’t speak man child
>>18738187Funky shapes
>>18738230Bad pic, i apologize.
I am stuck between either getting the efk100 (casios first automatic watch) as my first automatic watch or the limited edition time slip tsuyosa, what do you guys think?The former would be really sovlful for sure but the latter is also a limited piece.
>>18738237At this point i would usually tell you to just get a Weekdater, but today i will restrain myself from doing that.
>>18738235Germans need to get over the minimalist shit, this looks like a $50 dropshipped watch
>>18738185No, Swatch is the Supreme of watches.
>>18738182Timex are reasonably priced so no
>>18738240The dial is nicely curved.
>I have an Agenda.Has a certain ring to it.
>>18738240>Germans need to get over the minimalist shitthey can’t. it’s part of their genetic make up.

>>18738237Casio Edifice is a forgetable Casio line, while the Tsuyosa is the biggest seller for Citizen.So i'd vote for the Citizen.
>>18738283The first Casio automatic isn't exactly an insignificant watch either
>>18738294It kind of is if it wasn't very well received. Which is seems as though it wasn't. I've seen overall good reviews of it but despite that I don't see anyone going "omg you HAVE to get the new mechanical casio," even in the context of affordable integrated bracelet sports watches the likes of the PRX.
>>18738263Had a hidden agenda.She put my tender heart in a blender and still I surrendered.
thoughts?
>>18738305Post the profile view of the watch.
>>18738305Reminder that some years ago Zenith shilled the defy lab hard, after its failure they quietly pushed it under the rug. Fuck Zenith.
>>18738307Something along these lines.*insert image of the Stanley cup*
>>18738305for me, it's the el primero orignial
>>18738305Those will get a massive discount on the grey market because they are ugy as fuck.
>>18738105My Rollie don't tick-tock, it just glideKeep starin' at it and you might go blindI be movin' clean, I don't even tryAll I see is bands, bands, I spyYeah, dat way, I need that moola by TuesdayYeah, dat way, I low key feel like fungswaeI just now got started, got views on views, I'm poppin'My diamonds goin' retarded, your girl on deck, it's a party
>>18738331the tick tocking is so satisfying through
>>18738305Horrible
>>18738148>The other part makes it hard for me to justify double the priceDon't be poor, anything worth something costs more money than cheap worthless crap.>extra weight on the wristAre your arms literally toothpicks? You won't notice it.>maintenance costsAgain don't be poor, it's like a few hundred bucks once a decade.Mechanical watches are just way cooler. You won't regret it.
RAWR
Got mechanical watches from the family, how do i fix them though? the golden one is full of gunk and the cheap one has scratches, would car polish fix the scratches?
>>18738373into the trash it goes
>>18738375what? no way, i love old mechanical watches, and both work
>>18738305
I found asian rankings of watch brands, i like how they think.First the Chinese (original and translated), considering Hong Kong is the biggest city for luxury watches
>>18738380Now the Korean ranking (unlike the chinese, Grand Seiko exists in this one)
>>18738380Seems less like a ranking and more like "brand loyalists look down upon the brands in lower tiers", and I'd hope so because IWC ranked equally with Breguet and Blancpain would be retarded.But also Rolex should be outside of the "look down upon" list because they don't really fit it. Brand loyalists think that Rolex is somehow still "the best" even when they acknowledge that it literally is not.
>>18738135bauhauslop
>>18738388It's 100% a tier ranking.Yeah they put Breguet and Cartier/IWC in the same tier. Breguet gets less respect than Rolex and all the brands above (Vacheron, Patek), it loses a lot on the secondary market.
>>18738135I would recommend
>>18738393i wouldn't wear it that big
New $40 strap and it’s pretty nice.
>>18738391>It's 100% a tier rankingThe fact that it's titled "Snobbery chain" and every tier has a comment about who these brands view/are viewed by others leads me to believe it isn't but ok.But in any case, straight up tier list or snob chain, if you view Breguet as lower than AP/Patek/Vacheron, yep. Lower than Rolex and JLC? More debatable, but sure. But as equal to Cartier and IWC? Lol, no.>loses a lot on the secondary marketThey aren't as popular or in style, not the same as being not respected or free from snobbery.
>>18738135>serious gentleman You ain’t that
>>18738384Now the Japs (and of course it's the weirdest one).
>>18738170Yes, that IS the one Patricia would choose.
>>18738403Their subjective ranking is the horizontal "brand value" axis
>>18738185No, anyone can get a Timex with pocket money at most supermarkets.
>>18738202He’s a confused hobo who thinks he’s the target of a carefully orchestrated harassment campaign.This won’t last long.
>>18738240>Ve haff vays of making you shop elsevere!Haha
>>18738298Looks like you care more about what OTHER people think.What a faggot.
>>18738337You are a smug prick.
>>18738298>It kind of is if it wasn't very well receivedBut it was received very well, as you so admitted yourself, you will struggle to find any negative reviews about it. It just didn't become trendy, which is what you obviously care about.
>>18738393very nice fren
>>18738305It’s very comfortable. Looks good in person but not as nice as the red or blue dial defy revival.
>>18738305reminds me of Bulova Jet Star
>>18738411>>18738423No, I'm interested in what people are actually choosing to buy and wear. Just because all of the usual casio shills glazed it doesn't mean anyone is wearing that shit. It's really cheap to SAY you like something.
I want to more aventurine options.
>>18738405Why did they do their own nigga Orient so dirty
>>18738435
>>18738432Caring what others wear is the same thing. You're basing your own tastes on what is accepted by other people.That's really weak and you're a follower. You don't have your own style. You look to the crowd for acceptance before buying something lest you be rejected for being different.People like you make me want to retch. Fucking faggot.
>>18738448No indices whatsoever? I can appreciate the dedication to minimalism but that's detracting from functionality a bit.
>>18738435>>18738448i lub space watch it a vibe
i just remembered that traditional speedy’s are hand-wound.
>>18738450I'm not though, I wouldn't buy it regardless because I don't like integrated bracelet watches and I have more than enough nh35 shitters. I'm also not buying a prx or a tsuyosa, but I recognize a lot of people say they like them AND a lot of people buy and wear them. I've never seen anyone but a YouTube shill wear the casio.
why should i not buy this as a first watch. seems like a great deal for the specs and looks good to me.https://www.glycinewatches.com/products/glycine-gl0062?variant=47764907622612&country=US¤cy=USD
>>18738465Because glycine is owned by invicta.
>>18738468i've read conflicting info on whether they fucked the brand up or not. for $400, how bad could it be
>>18738465Great watch if you're highschool/college age.
what's a good price to pay for a datejust? jomashop has one i want for ~13k
>>18738465That actually is a pretty good deal for all that and a SW200 movement. Usually you can't find it all outside of China. Ignore the faggot naysayers here. Get the watch.>>18738468And Invicta is from the 19th century, dumbfuck.>>18738473>it's too inexpensive to be respected by us snobby poser cunts
>>18738479Yeah, and ford motor company started in 1903, hows that going for them? They make the most worthless pieces of shit on the road.
>>18738465Go for it if you like the design. Dont worry, 'Swiss Made" watches in general means made with Chinese parts and components, including a percentage of the Swiss mov't. Swiss watch brands have been doing it for decades now.
>>18738202It’s a parody of me, “Hobo Cartier” anon. >>18738375Ignore him. It’s a character he’s playing.>>18738380>>18738384Hard to disagree with Patek Philippe on top.>>18738408He dropped that gimmick two threads ago.
>>18738237I think you're the target audience for that casio that being stupid people.
>>18738384>gs under omegalol
>>18738486That does not make Glycine a bad watch company, fuckface.
wait this one may be a better choice for mehttps://www.glycinewatches.com/products/glycine-gl0388
>>18738513No, the first one has some unique character at least. That one just looks like another Pepsi Sub homage.
Lol when I was young and poor I also went into this thread desperately trying to convince people (and myself) that it's a real brand.
I like the look of this one. What faux pas would I be committing by wearing this?
casio a158 is all you need prove me wrong pro tip you can't
>>18738532True, with age and experience we all learn that you simply must pay far more if you want a "real" watch. At least a thousand dollars.
I want to service my NH movement. I exposed it to water and I want to clean and oil it. What tools do I get?
>>18738552Why are you asking here? Just look it up.
How do I search for watches in a case size range
SOVL
>>18738300Like a chump.
>>18738493And why am I stupid exactly
>>18738582Casio is cheap. Poor people are stupid. Also possibly insane, as some smug anon recently characterized 'poorness' as a mental illness. And as we all know, your taste in watches is directly tied to your bank account, so if you're looking at anything under $2K you're poor and therefore stupid.
>>18738439>>18738405Yeah Orient in the same group than Invicta is a low blow.Also the translation didn't work but Rolex is the blob near Breitling.
>>18738582you're falling for a cash grab casio doesn't want to miss on that china shitters action get a citizen (not tsuyosa) or orient or better don't get auto at all and get a nice cheap seiko with good finishing dial and markers instead of overpriced china shit with casio tax
>>18738585>Casio is cheap.wrong. casio is expensive for what it is. >>18738439they hate grorious nipponsimpo as
I’m glad the 70s and 80s are over.
>>18738491No one calls you Hobo Cartier. You’re just Broke Russian #18435763.Anyway, stay safe out there. Look out for Ukrainian drones.
Seiko btfoed
>>18738478You can find 2025 models with box and papers for $10k on Chrono24
What would you recommend between those two dials, grey birch or grey ice? There is a bolder birch design but it looks awful.
>>18738680Old Slavic retard. Drink your coffee.
>>18738130wow it's an actual king seiko ripoff
>>18738547This single post destroyed /wt/
>>18738684when in doubt always go with the black dial
wristshot check
>>18738698In less chunky and with an actual good movement
What's the appeal of a good movement? I understand it might look cool if you look through the back but what else? Longevity? I saw people complaining that Tissot using silicone parts defeats the purpose of having an automatic. Is it just the thought of a more complex combination of gears sitting on your wrist? Help me understand.
>>18738148>>18738135>automatic is an appreciation of craftsmanship >movement is mass produced foreign product
Grabbing my third and probably final Proxima. One store has this for $139! Won't see that price again. PT5000 inside. I paid $190 for my white one.This and that $149 Octopus Kraken diver are IMO the best deals on Ali right now if anyone's looking to buy something really nice you don't have to worry about. The sale goes another 6 days I think.
>>18738717Justification for spending more money. The reality is that all autos are comically inaccurate, and you're better off with a cheap workhorse anyway because a 30 dollar ubiquitous movement like the NH35 will be replaceable forever and far easier to swap than anything else will be to service.The one valid reason for a fancier movement is that they can be thinner. Is that worth a 10x price increase and 10x higher maintenance costs? That's up to you.
>>18738724True. And there are really great hand wind movements that are thinner. I figure if I'm already wearing an inaccurate and kind of unnecessary watch already I can be bothered to wind it every day and a half. Just part of the hobby. I hope never to require a movement servicing by alternating watches. Changing them up is natural anyway. And if I want thinner there's always quartz. 9mm-10mm is thin enough for my automatic needs. And if it's higher it's usually from a domed crystal, not the case. Anyone have an extremely thick watch? I don't have anything over 15mm at this point.
>>18738724>NH35Really a great movement, you are missing out on a bit of thinness sure but any watch with that movement is basically immortal and cheap as fuck to repair or replace. Still a movement like the 9015 miyota might be more expensive to repair and almost thrice as expensive to replace but if you think about it logically, it's unlikely that it's going to last for less than a decade even as a worst case scenario. And it's still a very popular movement, so I doubt it's going to become significantly more scarce over the years. Miyota is also generally a bit more accurate, significantly so if you get a bad batch of the nh35 that was tuned improperly (which happens with the nh35 fairly often unlike the more expensive miyota).Sure nobody expects an automatic watch to be super accurate but a 30+- vs a 10+- is the difference between needing to recalibrate your watch once a month or once every week, which is important. And a bad NH35 can easily have a 30 second daily inaccuracy.
>>18738715Thank you for sparing us the contents of the bowl. I'd be really disappointed if someone with a Grand Seiko started in with the dumps. I've never seen a toilet that plugs in before.
>>18738720yikes
>>18738717It's about the smoothness of the sweep for me
>>18738717Yes, longevity / robustness, accuracy, long term support.
>>18738393That's what a 44mm would look like on my wrist. Though maybe it's your lens. I saw a thing showing the same watch shot by two lenses and one looked normal and the other looked like a kid wearing dad's watch.
>>18738710I would if there was an actual black one. They are both grey, most photos show the birch one to be darker though so I might go for that. I have seen videos where the ice one looks almost as dark though.
>>18738715
>>18738744Your leased citizen is getting mogged don't bother
>>1873826352?!?Is that counting off the weeks of the year or something? WTF? No one would ever chart that passage of time. That's retarded. Tell me it's something which makes more sense than weeks.
>>18738736Yes, it is quite an amazing opportunity no matter what strange exclamation it prompts from you. You're welcome!
>>18738741I dare you to buy that watch.
>>18738732>Anyone have an extremely thick watch?My X-33 Skywalker is 14.8mm. Thankfully it has a lug to lug measurement of 48mm, so surprisingly it fits pretty well within my 7 inch wrist.Without a doubt however, it's the largest I would ever go with.
>>18738743You cannot go wrong with Cronos. But I prefer their enamel dials.
>>18738744TickTickTickTickTick
>>18738745>leasedWhat
>>18738749That's not too bad. When I got my 15mm I was worried it was unheard of but I checked and there are 16mm thick Omegas out there.
>>18738747It's a shitter, mate.How many of those shitters do you have? Do you you realize you could have an half-decent watch for what you spent?
>>18738754I don't think they lease watches. You can probably do some kind of staggered payment option or put them on layaway, but leasing is essentially renting, and that's just silly for watches.
>>18738746If you work in finance, it comes in handy.
>>18738757It's not a shitter, "mate". It's more than a fully-decent watch. I know because I'm buying another one. You cannot tell me that you know more about something I already own two of. No one in the world will report that a PT5000 Proxima is in any way not great. Find me one negative review. I'll wait. I guess that means you're just a retarded snob who goes by price. I have no respect for your ignorant opinions and laugh in your hideous face. And I'm glad you are not American.
>>18738755The Seamaster 007 they came out with recently is over 17mm
>>18738759Really? >It's week 37 and we all call it thatLOL, you're full of shit.
>>18738762When you build financial projections, you sometimes count in quarters or weeks, same with accounting.4-4-5 Accounting calendar, etc.
>>18738760NTA but the PT5000 is supposedly not all that reliable despite its decent accuracy, needing frequent servicing. I would rather just get a slightly more expensive movement that I won't need to baby.
>>18738733You should always self-regulate any movement you buy anyway. The real killer for watch accuracy is your own wrist position throughout the day.
>>18738765Who is supposing this? Frequent servicing... lol. We'll see about that. I've heard no such thing ever.
>>18738760You have shit tastes and low standards.You hate craftmanship and you hate beauty.Do you already have the one that looks like an infected vagina? Do you like the Unicorn logo too, faggot?
Let's see more of these Proxima SHIIITTTTEEEEERRRRSHere is the keboard one.
>>18738772It's such a great idea that they made many versions of it, KEK
>>18738773for people who have a blue keyboard (covering all the demographics of retards)
>>18738771>>18738772>>18738773>>18738775Haha! No, I don't care for any of those. I'll probably have all I want with the new red one.
>>18738165Howdy
>>18738773Even that bible-thumping Japanese watch lover who can't sanction any homage watches from China approves of that. Really you're not finding anyone saying they are not good watches. I don't know what your issue is. lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJVabbFmyiE
>>18738768Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean it's not true. You could get lucky of course, and it's not like it's a bad movement but as far well known decent movements go, it's one of the less reliable ones. NH35 is both cheaper to replace/repair and also a lot more reliable for example even if the out of factory accuracy is usually slightly lower while also being slightly bigger in size.The miyota 9015 is also obviously more reliable and smaller and more accurate but it's more expensive. I would rather get either one of those instead of the pt 5000. Even the extra upfront cost you are paying on the miyota, it will probably be more cost efficient because of its reliability.All that being said the pt5000 is a fine movement as I said, and if you get a bit lucky it could last as long as the other two. But it's a fact that it's not as reliable as a lot of other popular movements.
>>18738780Yeah, I have dozens of NH35s and like I've mentioned in other posts, I spread out the wearing of all of the watches so I realistically am never going to "wear out" a movement. People wear the same watch for decades and don't need servicing so I really don't see it coming up ever for me. I think it's more like people who are unlucky have problems, not that I'm lucky if I don't. Time will tell, so to speak.
>>18738781It's both that they wear out easier and that some can just be unreliable but if you have a big collection you go through it's not going to be a problem either way. It's still light years better than buying a proxima watch with a sw200 and paying an extra $200 though. At the end of the day the pt5000 is still a popular reliable movement in the grand scheme of things, I would just pick something else over it if there was a more reliable option that won't have you paying double the worth of the watch itself.
>>18738771That'd be cool for a Lord of the Rings fan.It's mainly the indices I don't care for on those models. But the craftsmanship is undeniably there. Beauty is subjective. Nobody hates anything except perhaps you hating that great watches don't have to cost a fortune. Maybe you spent way too much on a watch and these threaten you. Maybe you're just bitter because you'd have spent money differently.Personally I would never, could never be a one $7,000 watch guy. That seems preposterous and stupid to me. Variety is the spice of life. Yeah, I have a bunch of shitty cheap watches I never wear. They're $10 and under and I still like them. But most are very high quality and only an ignorant or disingenuous retard would claim that they aren't. I guess we have to have this fucking exchange every several weeks huh? You can only go so long before you need to make your disapproval known again.
>>18738786>guess we have to have this fucking exchange every several weeks huhbruh you're spouting this every fucking day. because you terminally live online. and you need to slather your opinion onto every post that even gets within ballpark of the topic. we're all very happy for your McDonald's collection of happy meal watches and how they rival $10k timepieces.
>>18738784So now the SW200 is also bad? Why? That's like saying don't buy the Swiss movements it's based on either. Are you saying it's faulty or just that IF you ever need it serviced it will cost more? I think servicing is realistically required for like 1 out of 1,000 watches. It doesn't ever seem to come up. And maybe that's because everyone I pay attention to is like me and they have a lot of watches and haven't had them for decades yet. Maybe if I had a single daily I'd consider all that. But then it'd be sentimental value prompting me to service rather than just replace. And that at the $500 and under level would probably mean replacing the movement anyway. IF that ever happens I'm so not worried about the cost. That's nothing.
>>18738786It's not just a question of price, most San Martin and WatchDives watches are tasteful these day.Proxima is just shit. It reminds me of the brand of the guy picrel. Some people just have shit tastes, and it shows in everything they wear or do.
>>18738778
>>18738787I don't "spout" this every day. And I don't live online. And I don't think any of my watches rival $10K watches. I rarely come to the general and say "hey here's a good deal on a watch". When I do it's because I really believe in it. And I really believe in this one because I already own TWO of them and can personally attest to their quality. You are unable to find anyone besides yourself claiming they suck. You are aware that all of them are very well documented on youtube. So you can ignore that or pretend the reviewers are all "paid shills". Either way, anyone who actually knows anything or buys these watches knows which ones suck and which ones don't. >>18738791I think Proxima blows Watchdives out of the water. WD is one of the few brands I don't own and have no interest in. Maybe the 38mm aquanaut but the good colors are sold out. I've never seen anyone say Proxima is shit or distasteful or anything negative. You are ALONE in your opinion. And it's all just opinion. Aside from admitting San Martin is good (which everyone already does) most of your opinions are contrary to consensus. I spend a lot of time in this world so I know the consensus. It's okay to be rebellious, but you look like a fool being the one guy on earth who thinks Proxima sucks.
>>18738791>Marc has shit tastes and it shows in everything he wears and doesWow.
Chink shitters were a mistake.
>>18738798lol, okay.Are you going to buy that one in your pic?
>>18738795Yes.
>>18738783Good morning sir! Believe me when I say that I speak for the silent majority here, that we are all very grateful for your work and love the posts! Keep on poopin!
>>18738800No, I'm working on a pocket watch conversion
>>18738744>>18738745If that's the kofe time guy imma lowkey just kms
This new strap works with everything. Even this shitty, ugly Proxima which sucks and will surely go tits up very soon.
>>18738794
>>18738814Yes, you have no cogent response. You need to lose some weight though.
>>18738788The sw200 is only bad on these Chinese watches because you are literally paying double the price. It's not a problem with the movement itself.
>>18738808Kill yourself? What does "lowkey" even mean? I thought it meant "under the radar" or something. It seems to have no meaning at all. People just add it to their vocabulary now like "literally". Just throw it in there for good measure when it adds nothing to the statement being made.
>>18738816Paying double the price of what? The watch with a lesser movement? It's usually just an extra $100. And they usually offer it on watches $250 or more.
>>18738791This is undeniably true, proxima is closer to the shitter tier on the Chineses watches list compared to quality brands like Ixdao, San Martin and Chrono
>>18738819Nope, I'll deny it right now. It's absolutely up there with Cronos and San Martin. In terms of price, reputation, and specs. How many of any of those brands do you own? That's what I thought.
>>18738818Proxima has multiple watches on a $180 rate up if you get the sw200 version. Which is also about the cost you would pay for the movement itself.

>>18738680Not really, it doesn't come close.
>>18738824My mom is a boomer. I'm Gen-X.
>>18738827Genx is the new boomer
>>18738746It,s used in business as that anon said. Patek has plenty of watches with a week counter.
>>18738744Based kofe time poster with a fresh pic.
>>18738746It's not like tachymeters are any more useful for most people
People overwhelmingly have nothing but great things to say about Proxima. Most are surprised by how great they are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKBeAEgJoSchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3GuiaY2V54https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qxKZ65VfDQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CXe2KA-Ja8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeInXajYHEMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJlaC1V29FM
>>18738826Even if it is 50% close (which isn't , it's more). It's still btfoing the Seiko when it's 1/300 of the price while slimmer and a better fit on top of it.
>>18738832True. Both are options I'd avoid myself.
>>18738783Throw that piece of a fucking shit of a watch in there too, will ya?
>>18738833Bottom of the barrel copemariner
>>18738837That's kind of cool. But the 4 o' clock crown makes me think it has a 7S26 in there, which is no bueno.
>>18738841Still waiting for anyone but just you to disparage Proxima. I guess you just really want to stand out. But for being an idiot? That's bold.
>>18738844They make ugly watches
>>18738855Your lone and contrarian opinion has been noted.
>>18738827>Gen-XThe youngest possible gen-x'er is 46 years old. You need to admit that you're simply too old for this site if you can't keep up with completely normal slang.
Normally I go for the black version of watches but the blue version of this is pretty stunning and neutral enough. It doesn't even look blue, closer to a grey with a touch of purple. It's only around $180 as well, I am genuinely getting tempted.
>>18738864That's nice. What brand is it?
>>18738863Yes, I'm 46. You still haven't actually defined "lowkey" for me though. I'm quite sure people just use words they hear others using but don't think whether it's appropriate or has any meaning.
>>18738865Aethelsohn, specifically the shard series of their Horizon Voyager. Pic related is the black one. They are running the pt5000, I would rather pay a bit more for a miyota 9015 but it is what it is.
>>18738867>Yes, I'm 46.Nice. Post your collection. I assume you've been collecting for many years now and you have the financial means to buy some really impressive pieces.
>>18738869I haven't seen a 9015 in anything for less than $350 yet. I've been meaning to try one. My 8215s have been perfectly fine though. I've yet to experience a truly shitty movement in anything. I have a Benyar $45 automatic with god knows what in it and it's still accurate and reliable. I think we're all a little too critical of everything. Maybe once something actually goes wrong for me I'll change my tune, but so far aside from a $2 watch I should not have taken into the bathtub in the first place, and a Seiko 5 which arrived broken and I sent back, I've had no troubles at all.
>>18738871It would take a lot of prep to post my entire collection. I've been collecting for less than a year and I have the means to buy almost whatever I want. I can tell already that nothing I have would impress you though because you go by cost.
>>18738873>I haven't seen a 9015 in anything for less than $350 yet.Chrono alone has multiple watches under that price with that movement.
>>18738876Used though, right? I don't shop there.
>>18738877No, all new. I meant Chrono the brand not Chrono24.
>>18738869>>18738864I like this one but wish it had no date.
>>18738882Oh, well how do I find them? Any search for Chrono Brand Watches even just returns results for Chrono24 and chronographs.
>>18738874>I can tell already that nothing I have would impress you though because you go by cost.So you're 46 years old and poor. That's got to be depressing when you see some kid (even a 30 year old is a kid by your standards) who has the watches you'd love to have.
>>18738873>I think we're all a little too critical of everything.Why? Criticism is how we help each other make better-informed decisions.Criticism within the watch-buying population has caused the watchmakers to improve their products, which is why watches are starting to come back down in size and become thinner.
>>18738888Hahaha, no I'm not poor. I simply have different tastes than you do. There is no watch I'd "love to have" that I cannot afford. There's not even any watch I want that I don't already own. I buy every watch I want. I'm just fortunate that I like watches that cost less than $500. My entire value system places watches in that price range. My home was appraised last year at $400,000.00, which is no small chunk of change. If I bought every trendy $10,000 watch I wouldn't be a homeowner.
>>18738887I misspelled the name, it's Cronos. Here's the link, the site is a bit scuffed but they make very good watches, no worse than San Martin.https://cronos.watch/
>>18738891>My home was appraised last year at $400,000.00,Lol, flyover state inhabitant spotted.
>>18738891>>18738874Oh, you're the shitter spammer. >Nearly 50 years oldThat actually makes a lot of sense now.
>>18738895Not necessarily. He might just live in a really rural dumpy part of an otherwise wealthy/important state.
>>18738895I live outside of Seattle. We don't count ourselves 'flyover'.
>>18738899Oh, I guess all of you here have million dollar homes. In my world $400K is nothing to sneeze at.Only in this snobby fucking thread full of bullshitters would anyone call me poor. LOL, I have no remaining respect for you sons of bitches.
I could sell my house and get 6 or 7 halfway decent watches.
>>18738892I was wondering if that’s what you meant. I have one, it’s very nice.
>>18738901>Only in this snobby fucking thread full of bullshitters would anyone call me poor.That's correct. In the real world, we would use more polite terms, like "working class".
>>18738901It's fine anon, for all the pretending they do, the threads are still dominated by sub $500 watches since that's the reality of what most people are willing to spend on a decent watch. You were kinda asking for this though.
>>18738900>I live outside of Seattle.You must live way outside of Seattle or you live in a run-down shack. (Probably both.) The median home price in the Seattle area is over $800k
I'd be awfully surprised if there were even many other homeowners in here, let alone with bigger and nicer homes than mine.
>>18738904400K in PNW is lower middle class; slob ass loser.
>>18738909>Development house "owner" bragging on 4chan to an empty thread about "owning" a home.How many more mortgage payments before you're allowed to change the locks?
>Mexicans are great at building houses; they're just as good as any other house, if not better.
>>18738910>lower middle classwith a major emphasis on lower.
>>18738910>>18738908My mistake. Or rather their mistake. I didn't have it appraised as much as I checked to see what the internet says it's worth, which is now $432,000.But it thinks it's a 1 bedroom, not a 5 bedroom. I'm seeing much smaller houses in my area going for $500,000.My home has got to be worth double my initial estimate. I really don't know. I don't have any plans to sell. And nothing is run-down. >>18738912I paid the mortgage off in 2022.>>18738914>>18738912>>18738910>>18738908I would love to see where you live.
>>18738902I legit could buy like one Lange and sohn if I sold my house.
>>18738915>I would love to see where you live.You want to see the barrel of a gun too faggot? Stop posting.
>>18738905>the threads are still dominated by sub $500 watches since that's the reality of what most people are willing to spend on a decent watch.That's fine and all, except for a few autists who fly into a rage any time someone dares to mention a watch that costs more.Didn't we used to have a sub-500 dollar thread for this very reason?
Only in a watch thread will you see an anon having a existential breakdown over his perceived economic class.
>>18738915>$423,000Wow. Median average value??? AND you own 75 fake watches??
>>18738918> Didn't we used to have a sub-500 dollar thread for this very reason?Some dude was so asshurt over people mocking his watch and saying he can’t afford Rolex that he made a new thread>>18737530
>>18738915>Did I say 400k? Uh, no actually my house is worth...uh...four MILLION dollars!>Please believe that I'm not po--lower middle class
>>18738915>But it thinks it's a 1 bedroom,LMFAO it's a fucking trailer!
100 year old Victorian house, every door weighs like 60 lbs and has a skeleton lock.They don’t even make homes anymore with the quality of wood this one is made from. One guy told me the lumber here would be worth a fortune if you dismantled the house.
>>18738927No, it’s a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3 story house.Some website that thinks it’s only worth $432,000 thinks it’s one bedroom.
>>18738924Probably more like $800-$900k realistically.Now I am going to have it appraised.
>implying $400k isn't a decent or even large nice house in most of the US.
>>18738930>Some website that thinks it’s only worth $432,000 thinks it’s one bedroom.So what was going on when you acted proud that it was "worth 400k" >>18738891>which is no small chunk of change.Something is a little fishy.Seems like >>18738924 has it right.
Lower Middle Class Anon is my new favorite lolcow.
>>18738932>implying $400k isn't a decent or even large nice house in most of the US.It really depends on where in the US.If you're close to a major metropolitan area or you're in a wealthy state, $400k will be a piece of shit.If you're out in the sticks or in a poor state, that same amount of money will get you a much larger, nicer house. The tradeoff is that the area will be worse (worse schools, worse infrastructure, fewer jobs, fewer/worse hospitals, etc)
>>18738928Dude, why are you using a watch thread to do a listing for your house?
>>18738928>got baited so badly he actually started posting his house and outright advertising it like some real estate agentImagine getting one guyed like that lmao
>>18738933$400k is a lot of money to me. I have a little over $100k in savings. I don’t think I’m rich, but I am honest. As if even half of the cocks insulting me have more. And if you do, good for you. I don’t care.I haven’t kept tabs on the economy. I’m 46, so everything seems very expensive and overvalued compared to my formative years.
>>18738939Might be embarrassing if any of this was real to me. You don’t know me and this has no bearing on my life or world.
>>18738940>I have a little over $100k in savings.I'm not saying this to be mean, but you should not be buying watches, not even 500 dollar ones.
>>18738941>Might be embarrassing if any of this was real to me.I mean, it is embarrassing. You're almost 50 years old and you're getting baited like it's your first day online.

Ok, back on topic.>posting a watch in the watch thread.
>>18738936Pretty much anywhere outside a major city - like 99% of the continent of North America - it's going to be a good house.
>>18738942Are you on that "you can't afford to buy anything you couldn't buy 10 of" bullshit?
scrummy
My only watch is a Fossil that I was gifted.Be honest guys is it cringe to go around with it ? Or nobody would care aside from turbo autists ?
>>18738951Like I said, it's going to be a larger, nicer house, but it will also be in a shittier area.A large house on a large piece of land is nice. Living twenty miles away from the nearest grocery store sucks. Being forced to send your kids to the one high school in the county, regardless of its quality, because there aren't any other schools in the area sucks. Having to travel to a hospital a hundred miles away because the local hospital doesn't have the specialists who can treat you sucks. Having the nearest airport be a four hour drive away sucks. Having spotty internet connection sucks.That's the trade-off.If you want a nice big house in a nice area, you're going to have to pay more than 400k for it because the demand for houses like that way outpaces supply.
>>18738932Not any of those anons, but most of the US is okay for that, as other anons mentioned. In my area, metro region in the Eastern Seaboard, there are no houses under $1.2 million. In fact, nothing under $1.1, as $1.1 will get you a 700 sqft condo with some massive HOA fee. One building near me that is selling at that price has an HOA fee of $2,000 a month.
>>18738957>Or nobody would care aside from turbo autists ?Bingo.
>>18738953Most people on 4chan are all in on the Dave Ramsey financial strategy. Very pervasive on /biz/, etc. Many zoomers are all in on that too. They seem to think that unless you have $10 million, liquid, you're basically a vagabond. And you're supposed to have another $10 mill in a money market account, then another 10 in gold and silver. And if you have a credit card, you're basically destined to end up bankrupt, or something.
i want the only one in /wt/ that likes the visible age of a watch worn and beaten bruh it’s a mfing century old : ] p cool
>>18738962i am ***
>>18738961>Most people on 4chan are all in on the Dave Ramsey financial strategyWhat's wrong with it? It just seems like the same basic advice your dad tells you when you get your first paycheck.
Seems the landfill anon got upset he wasn't featured in the last WCU list and is trying to make his presence known
>>18738965Yes because it’s a persona he adopted for attention. He was never serious about being gangstalked or any of it. He will go back to spamming Credor watches once he gets it out of his system.
>>18738947You never really own a Citizen, you merely lease it one quarter at a time.
Just got my samurai save the ocean seiko and put on a black rubber barton watch strap.
>>18738947Don't forget the manchild that owns hundreds of $60 junk watches while violently defending youtube reviewers as being the undisputed authority on equating pieces of junk to $10k swiss watches
>>18738798Fake Rolex?
>>18738975>$500 watch>still mineral This is why I can't bring myself to buy any of the new overpriced seikos. Fellow Japanese brands are kicking their ass with their value proposition and Chinese microbrands are eating them alive.
>>18738994how you liking that ixdao? i've been itching to burn some money and i have like $25 in rewards points with them, keep meaning to pick up something new>seeing now it's discontinuedgod damn chinks
>>18738962This is you. Isnt it? With your gangstalking thing?
>>18738994I have a seiko I bought for $170 that is sapphire crystal, so I duno what you're getting at. I don't really care what type of crystal they use, I bought it for the overall look
>>18738997Don't have the specific one, I just immediately thought of it because of how much better it looks than that samurai while the materials are also better. I am thinking of getting the black one though, although I am afraid it could be too boring, the blue wave one is probably the best one objectively. If you want it you can still get it though Ali express though so it's not too late. I doubt it's actually discontinued to be honest, they are probably out of stock. Ixdao makes quite the limited number of watches unfortunately.
>>18738950Based
>>18738958No, it won't. A huge part of what you pay for with a house is the area. You're not going to be in a bustling metropolis, but you're going to have probably a little land and good schools and hospitals and grocery stores around, maybe a hip/touristy main street somewhere nearby. It's the houses under $100k wherr you start getting into the "yeah, there's a gas station down the road, that's about it" kind of questionable properties where it's a podunk place a bunch of old people have decided to wait to die.
Is domed sapphire crystal notably more impact resistant than flat sapphire, or should people who want better impact and shatyer resistance just stick to plexi and glass?
>>18739009Even if it has better impact resistance, it being domed is going to make it suffer a lot more impacts.
>>18738950Nice. The ones with the white dial are so clean.
to me, normal watches look cheap/trashwhile a cheap/trash casio looks normal
>>18738994maybe mineral is better
>>18739009If you want to protect your sapphire, inset it below the bezel. The prouder it is, the more vulnerable it is.
>>18739014I get what you’re saying. I was browsing Rolex and they just look like some bs from Target. Those finer details and quality often do not come through on photographs. It’s just like on the /o/ threads regarding luxury interiors. It’s not until you sit in them, feel the leather, use the metal buttons and switches, and see it in person are you truly taken aback.
>>18738998henlo yup that me should i just name fag across boards? it’ll save you the trouble
>>18738928it’s bc that lumber no longer exists in such quantities a lot of the lumber of today was planted by loggers taking trees decades ago hard wood of such quality is reserved for fancy stuff now
>>18739012I never quite warmed up to the white dial ones, myself. But I do like the Explorer II. One of the last proper tool watches Rolex made.
>>18739019>namefagPlease do so, it will make listing all the schizos a lot easier since you are suspected of being more than half of them. >ChronicallyHomelessShould do the job
>>18739019Sure. If you want to. I feel a bit bad because I am pretty sure now you’re not that other loser and you’re an actual unmedicated schizo I have been messing with like a douche..
>>18739022i can’t work due to gang stalking >>18739023i myself personally used to shit on gang stalking posters, then it happened to me, i hold nothing against nonbelievers
>>18739030I hope you get your homelessness and gangstalking problems sorted out. That anon said he lives in Phoenix and could get you a job if you act normal.
>>18739031anyone i interact with will become a gang stalker if the terrorist network did not send them, they will contact them and enlist them in their torture efforts i avoid *all irl interactions
>>18739038Well that logic is pretty sound. I don’t blame you.
NEW THREAD>>18739040>>18739040>>18739040>>18739040>>18739040
>>18738961Is this the issue? I know it's a bunch of apartment dwelling millennials giving me shit.My house is bought and paid for and the savings just accrue more interest. I take in more than I spend every month so I buy a lot of watches.I don't for one second believe anyone here is more financially stable or responsible than I am. There may be some trust fund bitches, but most of these people don't have anything. People who earned their money are not snobby assholes about it. >>18738917I missed this one. haha, you're nuts!
>>18738964>Eat beans and rice until you can scream "WE'RE DEBT FREE!" then some shit about 'christ-jesus' and the corniest saxophone music ever.I love talk radio and sometimes I'm stuck with Dave. I can't wait for commercial breaks.
>>18738980Yeah, no one on youtube ever said a Chinese watch was as good as or better than anything $10K. So stop insinuating that anyone has said that ever, cocksucker.
>>18738994There was someone in the last thread claiming Sapphire sucks and solid bracelet links suck. It was quite amusing.
>>18738999Then it's quartz. You cannot buy a new automatic Seiko with anything but Hardlex for under $500-$600.
>>18739038You're very sick. Who are all of these people who secretly work for whatever clandestine operation is bothering you?You think there are just hundreds of people in every community who have side jobs illegally harassing mentally ill homeless people??That right there doesn't pass the smell test, as I'm sure you don't right now. Almost all conspiracies fall apart as soon as you look at the logistics of all the people involved and how they all keep their secrets. Doesn't make sense. At some point someone would let slip that the are or know someone doing this stalking. There would be text messages saved and at least one arrest. But no, it all operates smoothly under the radar forever.
>have what I'm pretty sure is a fake jeet made seiko>keeps time about as well as my real seiko 5
