New watch thread to post and discuss watches.
>find a watch I like>was only made for 2 months>one pops up once or twice a year and costs more than I want to pay>isn't even the right size so I'll have to spend another 300 bucks on another version for a case switchGod damn it. I'm not posting it because there's a listing for one right now, maybe I can get it cheap.
>>18758824Love the style, but why do they have to add stupid text like "heritage collection".
We need some pasta for the OP of every thread. What should be in it?
>>18758833Cavatelli
>>18758834Nigga I mean like what resources. YouTube videos, URLs, guides, wikis etc
>>18758827
Do you like platinum?
>>18758837It needs to be steel.
>>18758832It shouldn't be surprising that a cheap shitter brand (from India, no less) making a blatant knock off of a very famous and expensive watch is tasteless.
Silber time.
Trying to narrow down choices for my first watch choice, don't wanna exceed ~500€. I have a thin wrist and dress semi-formally daily and im basing my choice mainly on aesthetics, could I get some insight on the following I've picked out, any similar models I should try out? I've divided them onto two categories:Dress/Formal:Tissot PR 100 40mm T150.410.11.041.00Seiko srph85Seiko srph87Chronographs:Tissot PR516 40mm T149.417.11.051.00Tissot Chrono L 42mm T116.417.11.042.00 or T116.417.11.052.00
>>18758924usually i'd go with tissot for dress but those two seikos are super nice the only thing you may want to upgrade to an aftermarket bracelet as seikos have notoriously cheap bracelets at that price point
>>18758833No. I'm not going to paste some outdated horseshit lists like the perfume general does. Ever. Beat me to it if you want to carry on with that fucking nonsense. Sincerely,The O.P.
>>18758898You don't even still have that watch, faggot.
>>18758932And no sapphire. But anon is a brandfag so he's going to waste his cash.
>>18758898>he posted it AGAIN

What do we think of Xeric watches?
>>18758987Too big for me. I bought a retrograde jump hour and it's the only watch I've resold.
>>18758987Sounds too much like a unit of measure for feces.
>>18758924sbth009A700WEM-7AEFor go out to a shop you will never be happy with pictures
>>18758932>as seikos have notoriously cheap bracelets at that price pointwrong. the bracelets are fine. only the old 5s have the dogshit bracelets. they put those on shitters under $100.
>>18758957sapphire usually sucks
>>18759012
>>18759011>Seikos under $100What year do you think this is?
>>18759014were any good seikos ever under $100? if no then you are stupid to ask this question. >buy cheapest el shitter>durr it's shitwow no shit
>>18759013$80 seiko 5 shitter (not 2025 sport) hardlex crystal easily looks better than any chink shitter sapphire
>>18759018You keep telling yourself that. It might somehow look better to your eyes before it gets scratched. Which it totally will. And then it won't look so good.But besides that you're objectively wrong. The 100% consensus is that sapphire crystal is the best you can do and that's why everyone BUT Seiko has converted to it.Go back to spamming Seikos in your Alsta thread, you faggot brandsucker.
>consensusthe masses are assesseiko knows better
beach time
>>18759022No. Everyone has been calling them on it for years now. They all make the same complaint that the prices go up but the straps and bracelets still suck and most disappointingly, the Hardlex. The shitty Hardlex which is just a made up name for mineral glass when EVERY other watch company gives you sapphire even on their lower priced models now. It's expected. You're deliberately being contrarian and feigning ignorance here. 3/10 bait that I replied to.
>>18759026>You're deliberately being contrarian and feigning ignorance here.no just stating facts not my problem y'all are retarded
>>18759025>pixel>juicy forearmVery nice.
>>18758580Anyone else have a clue? Closest I was able to find so far is picrel, but a few details are still wrong.>one line instead of two above 6:00>made after 1993
Picked up this bad boy for 80 euros, keeps time well and all functions work
>>18759043Beautiful catch anon
>>18758924Just get a Weekdater.
>>18759043>antichocWhy doesn't it like chocolate?
>>18759046Looks nice, have a great time at the beach, anon.
>>18759055The glass has a special oleophobic coating that only repels chocolate, it slides right off it. Useful in some situations.
>>18759058I'm guessing "chocolate" is a euphemism for feces and "some situations" for gay fisting.
>>18759059In some rare cases. Most antichocolate watches were intended for the indian market.
>>18758986Interesting video. Puts things into perspective. Casio, Citizen and Seiko rule, Timex is not far behind. Apple and the chinks have stirred things up lately. Swiss with the exception of a quick Swatch blip are nowhere to be seen.
>>18759009Always a brain dead retard recommanding something that's not in the multiple choice.You don't even understand the concept of MCQ, your IQ must be around 90.
>>18758924I'd say the second one, SRPH85, as a first automatic it will be ok.Don't go into chronos on a budget.
>>18759064he's buying from pictureshis choices suck
>>18759033>Fart and Shit
what do you guys think of mine titanium watch?
>>18759063Pretty crazy how Apple and Xaiomi came out of nowhere and dominated with their smartwatches right? And how the market for non smart watches is Japanese. It’s cool that Timex is there as an american company.
How do I choose what watch to buy? I usually just ask myself what kind of watch would I wear to the depths of Mordor. So far the collection has multiple G shocks.
waiting for my zenith to arrive today
>>18759084It's no Rolex but it's what you could afford.So don't complain about what you couldn't get but enjoy the little that life gave you.
>>18759096which one did you get
>>18759039First result on google, fag.
>>18759084I like this over the BB.
>>18759084>>18759121The pelagos isn't necessarily worse than a rolex, because it can't exactly compete with a submariner.The only more direct competition to it is the titanium yacht master, but the pelagos design is closer to the submariner's, so...
>>18758986A thousand years from now after we’ve wiped ourselves out and alien archeologists are going through our remains, it will be the mighty and eternal Casio F-91W that will symbolize what a watch even was.Our greatest time keeping technological achievement.
>>18759046My dude.
>>18759172old rolex watches were so unbelievably ugly
>>18759176I resent the implication that they somehow look better now.
>>18759176Whats ugly about it?
Ice Kream Timeyou fags like ice cream right? post your favorite ice cream flavor and favorite (or goal/desired) watch.>cookies and cream>Seiko SRPE41
Chowder Time
Harnessing the frequency of a chunk of mineral is awe-inspiring. Thank you Canada for this technological breakthrough and thank you Japan for making them commercially available.
>>18759223is that a seiko penis quartz?
>>18758932I'm more leaning towards the Seiko srph87 currently. What exactly is the problem is the bracelet? >>18759009Thanks for the recs, I really dig the Casio and I'd like to eventually have one later on.I've been going from store to store, must've sampled ~50 watches from various brands these past weeks. Actually would've made more sense to have taken pictures of me wearing the watches when asking for feedback.>>18759054Looks very classy but I don't think I've ever seen those on sale.>>18759065I didn't even consider Chronographs but a store clerk and some mates insisted I tried a few one, ended up trying about a dozen or so and I really liked how those two Tissot looked, however I don't think they're suited right for my wrist unfortunately. It's too big, right?
>>18759137zenith defy revival
>>18759268SBTR031 has much better metal on the dial
>>18759266What?No, it’s a vintage Citizen Quartz from the early 90s.
>>18759268>>18759268This picture is what people mean when they say the watch is wearing you, or you look like a kid wearing their dad's watch. It's just too big, really for most people because it's a 42mm watch.Chronographs are difficult because in a way you want them to be big because it makes them more readable, but they just don't look right on most people, and to get a smaller one you have to spend a lot of money generally.The seiko speedtimers are 39mm and they're a little more expensive but it's hard to beat for a solar powered chronograph. Smaller handwind and automatic chronographs are kind of having a moment right now, like the 36mm benrus automatic chronograph, but like I said you can expect to pay thousands of dollars.
>>1875932738mm auto Seagull or Sugess 1963 for under $200
>>18759145It's not the hanhart, you fucking retarded ape faggot. >>18758594
>>18759336>chinese shitLmao funny joke.Anyways.......
>>18759342Yeah, you really do have to pay at least $2,000 for a mechanical chronograph. Every single reviewer praising the 1963 for the last five years is a liar or a paid shill. Or just POOR.
Teddy Baldassarre included.
>>18759346Probably mostly just shills, but otherwise correct.
Pretending Chinese watches still suck is ignorant and antiquated and you have nothing to gain by still spreading such disinformation. The new people will learn the truth no matter how much you post nonsense about "chinesium" and shoddy manufacture. All lies.
Now tell us about Jews.
>>18759327If only they wouldn't put a 24-hour subdial in there.
>>18759353How can these Chinese companies make the same watches at much lower prices and still make a profit? I’d like to get into the nitty gritty details of this. I’d be okay with knowing the difference in price is only due to brand name, but I want to make sure it’s 100% true.
>>18759266What the hell is a Seiko penis quartz?
>>18759362This is a Penis Quartz. There's a DoublePenis Quartz as well.
>>18759362
>>18759362It's actually a thing. Good watches too, built properly.
>>18759360I just saw a video explaining it, but it's because China makes more steel than anywhere in the world, they have cheap labor, and they're already making all of the parts for all of the world's watch factories. And also that they don't do a lot of original designs. Oh, and also China LOVES businesses which export products, so they get special incentives and tax credits and such.They're saving money on every aspect of it. Once you understand that and actually touch and see up close and wear the watches you realize what an incredible deal you're getting. The only thing that sucks are the brand names. And a lot of them aren't even that bad anymore. Of course everyone's tolerance for that is different. I don't care how far they come, I'm not ever wearing something called 'Wishdoit'. Or 'Time Token'.
>>18759270wrist shot
>>18759370It no longer resembles anything like a penis. The other one barely did but the double one shouldn't be called that at all.
>>18759375>>18759360And also they use off-the-shelf movements. That's where most of the cost goes. They don't pay for the design and then everything else is already super cheap. The factories are right there already making watches for the world. They just put their own name on it and tweak the design just enough.

I thought the poorfag shitters had their own general
>>18759399I dunno, do you?
>>18759399Show us your big expensive watch then, fancypants or forever hold your peace.
>>18759420I've posted them a couple times before and discussion was had. I'm not going to repeatedly post them like some sort of retard, or in response to a post like yours because you aren't going to say>Well I guess you do own an expensive watch! Ok then, we're off to make our own thread!now are you?Why not just take your $200 chink pieces of shit somewhere they belong, where they won't be ridiculed?Nobody interested in nice watches wants to hear about them, and most of you don't seem to want to hear about nice watches.
>>18759422This is my thread though. And I don't like you talking unearned shit about Chinese watches you're too good to even try. The word is out and you pretend it's all wrong and yet you don't know firsthand. No one interested in watches wants to hear about how ignorant you are in 2026. They do not threaten your fancy watch. You can still overpay for what comes stock in China for mere hundreds to your thousands. But you should stop lying about the facts.
>>18759424>This is my thread thoughYeah, that makes sense given the literal jeet turboshitter in the OP. Make your next thread a poorfag exclusive
>mmmm, yes... what do we all think about the new $40,000 JLC chrono? I think the lugs are ever so nudged in an unflattering angle don't you know? Jeeves, get me another blue label, chop chop.
>>18759425My poorfag exclusive is still active. Maybe you should start an exclusively snobbish four figures and up thread. I PROMISE I won't post anything from AliExpress.
>>18759425The last thread with the Rolexes, also mine. Most of the watch threads here are. Maybe find a new website.
>>18759426As opposed to>Bro $100 chink shitters are literally just as good as Swiss watches worth 100x as much bro for real
>>18759429No one has EVER posted that anywhere though. It's the dumbest strawman I've seen and you use it weekly. Fuck off.
>>18759431Not those exact words vut when the topic of how expensive the swiss luxury brands are comes up there's always coping to the effect of the homages and clones are just as good or good enough or that the real watches are NWBG.
