I'm a Seiko-holic
This no doubt one of the most beautiful watches ever made.>Japanese and swiss shitters gtfo.
>>18746612I'm linking more and more Lange since that redditor posted his blue Lange.What are the "cheap" alternatives? I was thinking german brands like Mühle Glashutte, but it lacks a Jenna say quoi.
Why do microshit brands only post AI rendering of their watches?You're supposed to give them 2K based on a fucking AI rendering, no video, no real photo in natural light... Even aliexpress brands give you real photos of their products.
>>18746603I don't hate it, but>the movie is abhorrent and>bronze is virtually unwearable IRLalso fuck Hamilton
>>18746616>What are the "cheap" alternatives?There aren't. Either go full AL&S or cope.
>>18746616>What are the "cheap" alternatives?There aren't any, because there aren't any alternatives to the thing that makes ALS special: the movement finishing. That kind of hand-work always comes at a high price.If you're buying a watch that has finishing as high-quality as a Lange, you're going to be paying prices comparable to a Lange, which means you might as well get the Lange you want.
>>18746623>fuck Hamiltonwhy?
it needs a service, but I like it.
>>18746643Nice Swatch homage.
>>18746645Maybe omega will make a journey to the sun swatch omage soon anon
Silber time.
>>18746660where's the kofe
>>18746640there's just something about every watch they make that pisses me off. also tired of them being shilled so hard here.>field watchesall look the same, unremarkable>aviatorscathedral hands are great but should have nothing to do with fliegers>big aviators42mm is too big and the "traditional" reverse flieger number design doesn't work at all here>skeletalsdisgusting>chronosunremarkable and thicker than a black woman in the ghetto>the murphover it, and too thick at 11mm for a 38mm watch>diversboring, and i love diversin my retail therapy phase i wanted to buy one just to buy one and i couldn't bring myself to buy anything because they're all so soulless
>>18746673In my colon
>>18746679khaki king and ventura stand out but otherwise eh they're quality, but there's better bang for your buck elsewhere for sure
>>18746660>Silber timelet's do it
>>18746679>>field watches>all look the same, unremarkableWhat a shit take, kek.Hamilton khaki field the OG field watch and military watches are made to be functional and unremarkable
>>18746689>functional and unremarkableor you could, ya know, make them remarkable and interesting and not make them all look the same? and still be functional.... like, oh i don't know, dozens of other companies have done?
>>18746693>like, oh i don't know, dozens of other companies have done?Like what? Christopher Wart? Farer? kek
>>18746603
It reminds me of a gauge.

>>18746603Great movie, lame watch.
>>18746605"holic" as a suffix doesn't really work with anything but ALCOHOL.
>>18746729the opposite is true
>>18746636lolThe idea of staring lovingly through the back at the "finished" parts of the movement. So fucking pointless. So overpriced. Doesn't make the accuracy better. No one else can see it. Waste your pretend money in your mind however you like though.
>>18746732>So fucking pointless.To you>Doesn't make the accuracy better.It actually does>No one else can see it.That's everyone else's problem
>>18746732lol cope. enjoy your shitter, if you can
>>18746731Another contrarian just like on /tv/.The scores are like 98% critics, 97% audiences. And the majority of people are LAUGHING their asses off at that retarded sword watch.You're so fucking edgy, dude. With your rebellious opinion. I don't even believe you.
>>18746737Yes, I enjoy my watches. I don't need to cope with the fact that I don't want a retarded watch with fancy guts that costs more than my cars. You dream about them though. Someday you'll have one and you can gloat here on this sewer of a forum and maybe some fellow shitstains will call you 'based' and it will make your day. Of course I'd hope once you achieve that kind of success you won't need to waste your days here.
>>18746739the movie studio is buying tickets to inflate numbers and people actually going to see it are seeing empty theaters
>>18746741LOL, that's fucking preposterous. Whatever you need to tell yourself, nutbar. It's all fake. No one watched it. All the news is lies. It's all a "tax write off" or "money laundering" or whatever you kooks believe. Condolences on losing your sanity. I bet you don't trust anything anymore. You suspect everything EXCEPT social media posts calling things lies. You're hopeless.
>>18746744nolan is a hack
>>18746748You're entitled to your fractional minority opinion of course.
>>18746749
>>18746741The absolute state of chud cope
>>18746603>unique bronze design>every aspect of the face made to match the bronze of the case>unmatched steel clasp on the strapOne job
I know you snobs are probably gonna tear me to shreds over this, but I really like the way it looks. Is there something better I should be considering that looks similar?>mineral glassI know, I would consider replacing it with an aftermarket sapphire one.
>>18746767Wow, just looked at the last thread and saw there was an anon asking the same exact question. I swear I'm not that dude, plus I have slightly better taste in bambinos than him.
How do you get over the itch of wanting a submariner
Kofe time.
>>18746771No you don't. Dates are lame.
>>18746773Get one of the COUNTLESS watches that look a lot like it.
>>18746777Checked. What do you think about the bambinos in general? Would you recommend something else, or just the no date version?
>>18746778it's just not the same
>>18746782You don't have to get one that cheap. Get the fucking Rolex if you want it. It's the most pedestrian and generic "cool" watch, or at least it was. But go ahead. Be original. Stand out from the crowd. Just get a replica though. Even half of the watch experts need a fucking hour, a microscope, and disassembly of the movement to tell the difference anymore.>But I'LL know.Yeah, well if it's worth the 6,000% markup to know that your watch is 100% Rolex and not just 96% Rolex, you spend all that money. It's not like you've got a wife who's going to complain about it! lol
>>18746780I think Bambinos are okay but they're overpriced for what they are. No sapphire and a short warranty. Citizen covers all the bases for the same price or less. But if you like Orient just get what you like.Way too many people here care too much about what other people think. Don't fall into that trap. I never ask anyone here for advice or to approve of my choices. I post the watches after I buy them and I don't give a flying fuck if someone tries to insult me. The watches are for my enjoyment and no one else's. I have a solar Bambino but I don't wear it all that often. I'd wear it more if it had sapphire. I just buy up everything I'm even remotely interested in, which is not a responsible way to do things. Don't listen to me about anything except the part about not listening to anyone but yourself.
>look up the price of the omega brown strap and claspwell fuck me, $400 for the strap and $400 for the clasp...
>>18746739>The scores are like 98% critics, 97% audiencesbruh every big movie ever made in the last 10 years that doesn't completely bomb like Supergirl is 99%/99% for a while until the buzz calms down and then they drop to whatever. also who gives a shit what the scores are? If popularity determined value, Kanye West would be the best musician of all time and Love Island would be the best TV show of all time, and they're both regurgitated dogshit
>>18746795Well worth it though! The more it costs, the better it is. Always.
>>18746799I know you're shitposting but it's funny if you think about it. We're buying watches that cost 100x more, are less accurate, have fewer features, and need routine servicing. All to get mogged by a $10 quartz watch
>>18746790Thanks, it looks good. I'll look at the citizens too
>>18746801Funny how? Is craftmanship funny to you?Funny like "haha, talented people spent time crafting this movement with love"?
>>18746767Get a Weekdater.

MILITADO ML27Movement: Seagull ST1701 automatic and hand-windable movementCase Material: 316L stainless steelCase Diameter: 36 mmCase Thickness: 9.5 mmLug-to-Lug: 44 mmLug Width: 20 mm$120 with $20 off for first week
>>18746945>44mm lug to lugThey’re copying the wrong parts of the Nomos as well.
>>18746945They had one chance to make a Japan one, they didn't because of the rivalry with China.
>>18746696Yes, exactly. Glad you agree with me
>>18746696Have you heard of google? You can search for watch brands there. Any one you find will give you different takes on field watches with variety >FarerI'm not sure you understand how this works. Why would you list another brand that also makes every watch look the exact same?Sorry not sorry your Hamilton simping feelings got hurt. Now go back to the wage cage
>>18746920That's a cool vintage chrono you have there.
>>18746816There is more craftsmanship in an apple watch. It's not about craftsmanship anon
I love my xbloom coffee time
>>18746982That poor girl’s disappointed father…
>>18746982Classy lady with a proper ladies watch, you have done well.
>>18746989She's been transitioning for 5 years now.She'll keep her noodle because i like it.
>>18746995Cool
>>18746982So there's two anons with the Black Bay Ceramic?
>>18746687I dig the Ventura too though a quartz watch has no business being that expensive. Hard to justify pulling the trigger on it as mush as I want one
>>18746739sneed
>>18746748>>18746749he hasn’t made a good film since inception.
What might fill out this collection? Also considering parting with the Timex GMT. I got it as a GMT Master cope to attempt to scratch the Pepsi bezel itch, don’t dislike it but it would be the first one I’d drop.
>>18747016shitters
>>18747016I’d sell everything but the timex and get a Swiss watch bro. What do you need all those watches for.
>>18747016idk man, it's hard to top what you already have.
>>18747024They are probably worth $30 each, that's $150 in total.
>swiss fags and their "expensive watches"Name a bigger homo tell>A new shed costs around the price of a Rolex
>>18747032
>>18747025That’s what I’ve realized. Any time I go to look at something else I already have it covered. I suppose the only true gap I have is a dress style watch but those have absolutely zero appeal to me.
>>18747024The Sportura and Expedition for work/activewear. The others for leisure. I like having options day-to-day. But I do think any more would be redundant.
>>18747032look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power
>>18747032I don't even know what a "shed" is.Lemme google that.
>>18747032Best day date model hands down
>>18747044Throw this fucking piece of shit of a watch along with the diarrhea you just took, and buy a g shock people will actually respect like the MRG-B2100, or some MTG if you are poor (cuz you are)
test
>>18747052Ban successfully evaded.
>>18747053haha i'm not toilet anon.I don't know why but sometimes i get banned due to "overflow posting" or something like that. Something to do with my internet provider. it's retarded.Anyways, I was wondering if anyone know if there are bracelets available for the BB ceramic 41mm?I wanna wear my Tudor on formal dressing and the nato strap ain't it
>>18747043flexin on niggas with the autisim rolex
>>18747059BBBRRRAAAAPPPPPPPPPPP>>18747050SEETHE MORE POORFAG
>>18747056Maybe you shouldn’t use a proxy.
>>18747066ok, but any reccs about my watch question?
>>18747080You already know there are no good bracelets available. A PVD mesh is as close as you’re gonna get and it will look like shit. You’re stuck with straps.
>>18747080>>18747056no one makes a blackkked oyster bracelet for it?
>>18747084The new Tooter Blacked Bay with the bracelet is a different shade of ceramic.
>>18747083sheeiittt so limited for a 5k watch....>>18747084i haven't found one, no.guess imma have to rob a bracelet off a blacked out BB
>>18747087i should've gotten a normal Turdo
>>18747088i know this is probably more work than you want to do or should do, but it wouldn't be that crazy to take an oyster bracelet that fits, and get it PVDed or powdercoated or whatever of the million coating processes that exist that would get it pretty close to the natural shade of the watch. unfortunately the coating/plating/finishing rabbit hole is deeper than any other i've ever experienced
the 39mm hydroconquest is a nice watch
>>18747056>>18746970>>18746982full black is very low class
Inherited from my grandfather.Maurice Lacroix Les Mécaniques "Date".

>>18747016A highschoo diploma maybe lmfao lolllllllll?
>>18747205insane
I like modernized 1960's styles.
>>18747216Based. Imagine if omega could make something as nice looking as this.
>>18746767Who trashes Orient and Bambinos? they are great, go for it. I got one, and while I love Orient, the weakest component are the straps. Youre gonna change it prior to the dome
the 38mm seiko 5 diver is so much better than the full sized one. idk why they went with the full sized one first. I also have like a 36mm dress watch and it's way better than the xbox huge watches some people have
>>18747111does it come in blue?
>>18747016I like your collection. Just needs a dressier watch now. Maybe something vintage. A quartz Seiko tank.
Waltham pocket watch, circa 1921
Anyone know what watch this is?
>>18747298Skagen. Stay away from them.
>>18747281Strange that Seiko discontinued the old SKX divers watch. Then replaced it with the current, gimped Seiko 5 Sports (dive-style) watches and increased the price bracket. At least Citizen Promaster Divers watches filled in the gap, also made a 37mm just a few years back.
>>18747302that citizen watch looks super busy
>>18747303It's a true divers watch, not just a Seiko 5 dive style watch.
>>18747162eh it's big but it's a chrono. wears fine on me. >>18747112let me know when there is a white dial ceramic. Stainless just gets marred and is heavy.
>>18747281seiko turned that the 5 model lineup into a cash cow, milking, marketing stunt. like seiko X "insert another product brand", limited edition 10,000 units
>>18747310yeah that also made no sense to me>release the full sized>release the 38mms>lol no blue colorway 38mm even though blue is one of the most popular colors>now the blue 38mm is part of some collab with denim, like jeans?
Is it silly to wear a tank style watch just casually
>>18747320no
>>18747157
Best Hulk knockoff?
kofe vibes
>>18747306I like it. >>18747115Nice, wear it all the time and be proud of it.
