The new watch thread.
i think usps lost the islander watch that i bought
>>18770832The state of both islander AND usps is beyond fubar.
>>18770832>>18770840post pic google returns many different stuffs when i search “islander watch”why didn’t you just order a Navitimer
>>18770843Shut the fuck up, you filthy, crazy, hobo.
>>18770844they gang stalk me no one helps
>>18770843>>18770840seeing how i like a smaller time only sports watch. was debating this or san martin but the SM was sold out. this was only $299, doesn't seem bad.
>>18770846You know what you did to deserve this.
>>18770853naw idk i only have theories can you tell me why they torture me
>>18770851in a smol budget like that why not go vintage?
>>18770858the vintage versions of watches i like are all quite expensive. im slowly plotting my way towards a bigger watch purchase but want to know it's the right one. long island watch guy seems cool, i dont mind wearing one. ive had a handful of watches and think im headed in the right direction
>>18770851https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTVwDfHu_A0
>>18770873decided importing would be a pain and i wanted to deal with a real company. glad i did too, if USPS did lose my package i can get a refund or replacement no problem, not sure for ali type watches.
I love GMTs lads

>>18770851>>18770873
>>18770851The manhasset is amazing. NuIslander is kind of just "here's another dive watch in colors for the colorblind."
>>18770887"unironically"You don't need to add that as a qualifier. Just say you want one. No one will assume that's "ironic". You fucking moron.
>>18770890I add zoomer lingo to my posts to be as obnoxious as possible
>>18770890It an important distinction, because I actually do want a Navitimer ironically.
>>18770893So you don't really want one? You want one as "a joke"?I don't believe you.>>18770892At least you're honest.
>>18770886i like the noise/layout hate the colors dislike the knobs
>>18770898I like them for the history of them and what they were, but the smaller ones are too small to read anything easily and the bigger ones are too big for anyone to wear casually. It looks like you're wearing a pirate ship wheel on your wrist. Miles Davis wore one but he's a weird looking mf to begin with so it almost made sense. It's comical that fat middle manager boomers think they can pull off a Navitimer.
>>18770890Buying a watch that's endlessly shilled in the watch thread could easily be ironic. I'm sure you could see how it requires clarification if someone bought the Biden field unironically.
>>18770940They bought it ($9) and wore it. No irony there.
>>18770944They bought it as an ironic joke outfit not because they actually thought it was cool.
>>18770946You can't speak for the two Biden wearers.
>>18770949As one of the two Biden wearers, I did buy it ironically, as a joke, but I wear it unironically because I actually like it. The band is a very comfortable, soft rubber and it’s surprisingly easy to read.I’m going to wear it tomorrow to a rock festival, we’ll see how it holds up, if at all.

>>18771081So i looked around and found this, but i still think I've seen that typeface somewhere else.
>>18771082>11.7It’s hand-wound? How on earth did they make it so thick? Did they hire Omega’s design team?
>>18771053WOWZA! A Seiko with number on it? For only 6K!!!Take my money Seiko Sama!I'll cancel my vacation this year in prder to buy this Seiko looking Grand Seiko.
HamiltonYes, no, maybe? I want a sub 1k field watch and i've been circling around them for a while
>>18771096I have a 3 watches collections, two Rolexes and one Hamilton Khaki Field Black pvd.It's the blueprint of field watches, it has both the perfect form and the legacy.
>>18771099but it’s triangles all the way around… shouldn’t the triangle only be at the top?
>>18771101Pilot watches (B-uhr) only have one triangle at 12.
Just buy these two watches and then you never have to think about watches again. You will be covered in 99% of situations.Cartier Tank Must, ref. WSTA0136 (3,900 USD new, about 3,200 used)Omega Speedmaster Professional ref. 310.30.42.50.01.001 (7,800 USD new, about 5,500 used) The Tank is your dress watch. Straps are quick-change so you get a brown one to go with the black one and you're covered. Because it's white metal, not gaudy yellow gold, it still works in casual situations. It's a landmark design so you know it will be in style years from now. The Omega is your sports watch. It's comfortable, it fits nearly every man's wrist. Master Chronometer means the watch has been specifically tested to be 50m water resistant so you can actually go swimming with it.Are these selections boring? Maybe, sure. But that's the brilliance of them. You're not looking to be memorable but no one will ever think "Oh, that's a shitty watch" (unless you're dealing with retards and who cares about their opinions, anyway). They don't come with the baggage of other brands either. Rolex comes with so much bullshit you can't wear them in public these days even if it's a vintage piece.
>>18771105I don't see any good reason gold can't work casually.Also absolutely no watchmaker endorses swimming with a speedmaster and it's too bulky for casual wear. A smaller uncomplicated automatic watch would be better.
>>18771108>I don't see any good reason gold can't work casually.This. Millions of Indians wear yellow gold every day and it's fine for them. Surely, it can work for white northern Europeans.
>>18771105Many other watches could fill these spots.All around watch:Rolex OPRolex ExplorerIWC Mark XXHamilton Khaki FieldHamilton MurphOmega Aqua TerraLongines ConquestLongines Hydro ConquestTudor BB (the whole line)
>>18771108>Also absolutely no watchmaker endorses swimming with a speedmaster and it's too bulky for casual wear. A smaller uncomplicated automatic watch would be better.The current gen Speedmaster is actually very wearable. It's thinner than any Speedmaster ever and the bowl-shaped caseback sits low on the wrist along with the bracelet that tapers down to like 15mm at the clasp.Sure, if you're a woman or you have a feminine-sized wrist, then the 47mm lug to lug is probably un-workable. There's no way around that.
>>18771111You're overlooking one major factor: moggability. The Speedmaster is unique in that it's unmoggable. After 60-plus years of continuous, basically unchanged production, it's no longer competing against anything. It is what it is. No one cross-shops a Speedmaster against anything else. The watches in your list with maybe the exception of the Explorer (and only maybe since plenty of people buy one while they're building AD relationships for the GMT they really want) are all easily mogged. They're all for entry-level beginner collectors.Plus, like >>18771105 said, Rolex has a lot of drama with the AD games you have to play that wearing one is kind of gauche.
>>18771113No the fuck it isn't. It's over 13mm, some are damn near 14mm or even over, for a MANUAL chronograph. I really don't know what the fuck you omega gaslighters are smoking, it's dimensions for what it is are fucking horrific.My wrists are 8 inches. Just because I COULD wear a big ass watch doesn't mean I should or that I want to. The mid century guys wearing 33mm and 35mm watches knew what they were doing.
>>18771117You sound hysterical. Relax. We're talking about watches. No need to scream.Do you know how thick a Submariner 5513 from the 60s was? 14.5mm Domed sapphires are tall but they're still light.The 3861 Hesalite is 13.6mm thick. 3mm of that is the domed crystal. The midcase is only 6mm thick. It's not the same as a slab-sided Tudor or modern Rolex with its wall of steel.
>>18771118I'm not hysterical, I'm just tired of fanboys regurgitating the same horse shit over and over and I think it's time their tired talking points are treated like the retardation they are. Nobody sane who knows anything about watches believes or cares for your cope. Period. Mode4n swatch omega makes fat shitters for fat nerds who like fat shitters whos rolex ADs tell them to fuck off and they've made it their entire watch collecting identity to convince everyone else that omega still makes decent watches and isn't the McDonald's of Swiss luxury watch brands.
>>18771105>>18771115The idea is right, but there are other unmoggable watches (not many, though). The Speedy-Tank combo is about as inexpensive as you can get in terms of un-moggability. You could probably go cheaper if you got an 1861 movement Speedmaster.
>>18771123>not hysterical>spelling and grammar have completely failedYou could try reason. For example, >>18771118 contained verifiable numbers. You could respond with a reasoned counterargument supported by similar numbers for comparison's sake.Of course, you could also simply say, "I don't like it" and leave it at that. You're allowed to have your opinion and all anyone else asks is that you recognize your opinion as just your opinion and not an objective fact.
>>18771125You could try KYSing. Have you considered that? You can just KYS at any time. You're not interested in reality, you vomit corporate propaganda onto a loatian soup making BBS.
MODS MOVE THIS TO /TOY
>>18771125The problem isn't evwn that I don't like it. You're saying shit that is objectively not true seemingly expecting everyone to accept it uncritically, because that's what your favorite swatch advertising propagandists and watch journalism ecelebs do.
>>18771132>You're saying shit that is objectively not trueLike what?
The sun has risen once again and with each turning of a day another Navitimer shall be posted

>>18770887Navitimers are cool from their inception to present.
>>18771136>current gen speedmaster is the thinnest everIt isn't>very wearableFor a 42mm watch, I guess? Imagine if it was actually thin, like 12mm or thinner, how wearable it would be. But it gets the shit raped out of it by the daytona and el primero chronographs, which are only a little over 12mm and automatic and under 40mm and even women can wear comfortably.
>>18771163How are they both uglier than Navitimers?
>>18771163The 105.012 (pre-moon) was around 14mm thickThe cal. 861 was around 14.5mm thickThe Hesalite cal. 1861 was 13.9mm thickThe Hesalite cal. 3861 is 13.6mm thick(The older models' thickness varies more because they used different brands of acrylic crystal)

>>18771163>For a 42mm watch, I guess? Imagine if it was actually thin, like 12mm or thinner, how wearable it would be. But it gets the shit raped out of it by the daytona and el primero chronographs, which are only a little over 12mm and automatic and under 40mm and even women can wear comfortably.It's not actually 42mm, that's a common misconception based on how Omega measures the asymmetric case. Omega includes the crown guards in the diameter with that model. Across the bezel, the watch is only like around 39mm.As for the Daytona, well that's both ugly and considerably more expensive. It should be thinner, for what it costs. The El Primero is also considerably more expensive than the Omega and is also uglier. Zenith refuses to make an El Primero that just looks normal.
>>18771181Careful, now, you've gotta stay on the move, or your gangstalkers will find you.

>>18771096>Hamilton>Yes, no, maybe?100% yes. They're the gold standard for field watches.
>>18771096Never liked how long the lugs are on the khaki. For my money, I'd spend the extra 300 or so and get a Benrus DTU-2A/P. I like the case proportions more, and it looks a lot better without branding like the original watches had. Benrus was one of the producers of these watches alongside Hamilton and Bulova.

>>18771202Or alternatively you could get some variant of the 1963, my personal favorite field watch. I love field watches so if you're interested I can post some more recs in here.
>>18771177This is exactly why I love the Speedmaster. There's not much else out there like it in that it's basically unchanged since the 1960s. They haven't changed the size, the layout, or the case shape. It is all as it was.The movement changed, obviously; as did the quality of the bracelet and the luminous material, but other than that, if you handed today's version to someone in the 1970s, it wouldn't raise an eyebrow.Compare it to the Explorer, for example, the current 36mm version only bares a passing resemblance to the old 1016; but it's impossible to imagine Rolex would stick with a matte dial, printed indices, and an acrylic crystal.Not much else has existed as long without meaningfully changing. Patek discontinued the 96 and replaced it with a much bigger version. Cartier keeps increasing the size of the men's Tank Louis. Not too many models have even existed since the 1960s.

Lots of boomers who discovered the site through /pol/ in 2016.I'm guessing by his short temper he's probably in his mid 40's. That's the prime point in life where you lose sight of the idea that other people might like things you dislike. Younger people would make jokes or simply not engage.

>>18771276>discovered the site through /pol/So fucking scumbags?
>>18771281That's one of the few good Invictas because it doesn't have that stupid counterbalance on the second hand and it doesn't have the stupid logo. The lack of a date is also a plus. Shame those are over $100 now, but that's because the NH35 went up.Still a good deal and the only Invicta I'd ever buy if I was going to get one.You should get it.

>>18771289>distrust in institutions.Shoo glowie
>>18771285Apparently a recent release of this has all the new models coming looking completely scuffed like they are built from spare parts from other Invicta watches, different shape, worse quality and even has the Invicta logo on the side like all their other watches, even the rotor isn't yellow anymore. Unless I find it somewhere non scuffed or Invicta fixes their shit, I don't think I want to bother with the nightmare of ordering this and most likely having to return it. Can't have anything good without enshittification ruining it I guess.

>>18771321You are trying to convince the wrong man. I believe guys like Bob Lazar and Phil Schneider were real government whistleblowers that were silenced and other such things. I am probably the caricature you’re thinking of.
I just want to say I love Spinnaker. They're like Swatch if Swatch made good watches. Swatch continues to produce nothing but cheap plastic shitters at 500x markup. And I don't think there's anything wrong with having a fun shitter, but a goofy plastic watch with an Alibaba quartz movement shouldn't cost the same as a Seiko Alpinist, even if its a collaboration with Omega Speedy.I'm not into Spongebob at all, but this Spongebob collaboration with Spinnaker really shows the vast quality of difference. If Swatch did a Spongebob collaboration the watches would have been totally half assed.

>looking for a diver with a display back and baton hands>none of that arrow shit>Willing to even compromise on the water resist if it's at least 10 bars, not like I will do anything more than swim in it>as long as the bezel clicks around I am good, I can even compromise on it being some shitty compass bezel Why is this shit so hard to find at a reasonable price for an everyday beater watch. All the models I found are either discontinued and for some reason impossible to find despite not being either sought after not all that old, I am talking watches that were available a couple of years ago.
>>18771473You liking metal bracelets complicates things a bit but usually this is my logic for square casios with a negative display.Either go for the first option, which is an all black cool as fuck look but sacrifices most practicality (no solar, bad visibility etc).Or go for the full versatile option that isn't only solar but has an incredibly visible and beautiful display as well.
>>18771466>>18771483Otherwise you can get pic related and replace the bracelet. This is all assuming you don't prefer the more busy look of what you posted.
>>18771483I think I'll go for this one in the end. The black face balances the silver bracelet, and It's a little more versatile than the gun metal version.
>>18771469I CALL LOW IQ
>>18771465That's just not a RolexI can't believe Rolex compares this piece of cocksucking shit to the Sky Dweller
>>18771487That's much nicer, and those negative displays can be hard to read
>>18771466>>18771487
>>18771489>That's just not a RolexBut it's inspired by a vintage Rolex
>>18771503A Rolex is Datejust, Submariner, Daytona...It is any model they agree on slapping the "Oyster Perpetual" title on (except the Land Dweller wtf is this fucking shit)Rolex is panicking right now because they can't release any watches people actually like
>>18771507Ackchyually a Rolex is any watch made by Rolex with the Rolex logo on it.And judging by their sales it seems to me that Rolex is doing just fine lol
>>18771509No, no, they're panicking. Believe me. Everyone is abandoning the brand in droves.
>>18771509NPC commentThe last successful model Rolex released is the Sky Dweller.The second successful one is the Explorer II (and if you don't consider the Explorer II successful, then after the Sky Dweller, it's probably the Daytona after it got its more modern look in the 80s)Rolex releases new watches every year now, because only their classic models remain successful.They killed the Oysterquartz in early 2000s, and later killed the Cellini and also Milgauss (yeah Milgauss was outdated but still)Nobody gives a fuck about 1908, Land Dweller, Air King, Yacht Master 1 and 2... People only want Datejust, Sub, GMT and Daytona.Sky Dweller is kinda the exception, but of course not as popular as the classics
>>18771514>engaging in good faith because I just can't help myselfRolex doesn't release sales numbers and projections so we don't exactly know if a model is successful or not. Was the Land-Dweller (stupid name) intended to be the next Datejust in terms of popularity or was it simply intended to be a low-volume test bed for some new design language elements and movement technologies? We don't know. Sometimes a model just has to exist to keep people talking about the brand. It's a marketing exercise in that regard.Secondly, a watch company doesn't actually have to release brand new models every single year and have them all be smash hits in order to be successful. Watches are not like clothes where fashions change extremely quickly. Fashions in watches change glacially slowly by comparison. If you bought a black/white/silver dial Datejust with a WG bezel and Jubilee bracelet at at point in the last few decades and wore it everyday through today, at no point would anyone say your watch was "out of style".
>>18771514Your initial point was that the new Padellone isn't a Rolex because it's not an Oyster Perpetual.Now you're saying it's not a commercially successful model (even though it was announced 2 days ago), which is enough reason to not make it a Rolex...?I think you're just making arbitrary rules to justify your hate for this new watch anon.Just say you don't like it and move on lol
>>18771514But your argument completely falls apart when you say bullshit like "Rolex can't make watches people want to buy."If rolex never made a new watch with a new movement again they would still be the king of watches and their watches that made them big in the 50s would still carry them and resell over retail. Buying a daytona at retail is almost like rolex handed you thousands of dollars. There's just no logic to "they're struggling because they can't make new watches," every single watch they already had in the lineup before the skydweller was a banger that defined an entire category of watches.Even the skydweller wasn't a hit immediately, people were sour on it the first few years. They had to make them in steel for people to really start caring. Even now people aren't exactly crazy for them. The same could happen for the new watches and movements they're putting out now, once the dynapussy shit has expanded across the rest of the lineup in the next 10 years or so people will have probably accepted the land dweller for what it is, people will probably come around to the new moonphase thibg because the older cellini moonphase watch was really similar and a lot of collectors really liked that, maybe they'll do the 1908 in steel so middle managers can afford a rolex dress watch, and youll still be complaining that rolex hasn't made a good watch since the 1908
>>18771522>Just say you don't like it and move on lolNo. Everyone has to agree with me so that my opinion is treated as objective fact.
Never really gave Longines much thought but damn it if this isn't one of the nicest looking field watches I've ever seen. There's a lightly used one on ebay for 1400 which is extremely tempting. I was really set on a snowflake as my next watch but now I'm not so sure anymore.
>>18771527The design is really nice, but the size isn't.At 38.5mm it looks positively huge on the wrist whereas field watches are traditionally on the smaller side.Something like that but 35mm would be perfect, but then you'd get people howling "Nooo, I can't wear a watch that small!!!" without even trying it on.
>>18771520>>18771522>>18771523Rolex is known for their sports watchs. The reason I said people like the models they slap on the title "Oyster Perpetual", is because of their "Oyster case", the tool-watch look.Rolex just isn't known for making slim, beautifully finished ultra thin watches like patek. When people think of a Rolex watch, they'll probably think of a Daytona, Sub, Datejust, GMT, OP...I actually think the Padellone is beautiful, but it's just not what Rolex is known for.>Sometimes a model just has to exist to keep people talking about the brand. It's a marketing exercise in that regard.For this to happen, Rolex has to make a shift in the way people think of a Rolex watch, because like I said before, Rolex is NOT known for dress watches, it's that simple.Besides, their new models like 1908, Land Dweller and Padellone, are not very original. Rolex is VERY late to the game with the integrated bracelet it looks like they are copying AP.When people think of a simple dress watch, or a day, date, month and moonphase watch, they'll probably think of patek/JLC/AP/VC, NOT ROLEX.>But your argument completely falls apart when you say bullshit like "Rolex can't make watches people want to buy."They can't make NEW watches people wanna buy, at least that's how it currently looks like.The hype is just stuck on those old classic models, you don't see a lot of celebrities and famous people flash a 1908. For now at least, they always prefer a Daytona.>Even the skydweller wasn't a hit immediatelyYes it's not as popular as the classics, but it's also not hated.Maybe it's the same for the new models, we don't know.
>>18771531The 47.6mm lug to lug and 18.5mm lug width is more of a dealbreaker to me than the diameter. Proportions sound really weird. Of course I have never tried one on though, so I have no idea how it actually wears in person, but those are some weird ass numbers they came up with.
>>18771533>Rolex is best known for sports watches so that's all they're allowed to makeThat's how Audemars Piguet ended up as the Royal Oak company.
>>18771209SureI checked the 1963 but i've been waiting a good while for a Field one and i'd rather pick something elseOther reccomendation besides Hamilton are welcomed tho
>>18771533Actually the skydweller WAS hated for a while for the exact move that made it more popular - when it first released it was only available in precious metal and the few people who both liked it and could afford it bought it believing there wasn't going to be a steel one. Then the steel one came out and pissed those buyers off because it devalued the gold ones and if they knew a steel one was coming most of them would have saved thousands of dollars just waiting.
>>18771553Sure, stay tuned and I'll post some of my favorites. If Hamilton is what you're leaning towards my favorite khaki is the 36mm, its closer to the real military spec watch with a smaller case and the acrylic crystal is cool. Again, not a fan of their lugs and don't like the fixed spring bars since I prefer canvas/leather straps on my watches. >>18771202I'd still get one of these over the khaki any day though.
>>18771563If you have the wrist for it, Seagull makes a cool field watch commemorating some battle from the Korean War. Its 43mm though, so too big for me. If it was 38 or smaller I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
>>18771565Dirty dozens are one of my favorites too. Timor is the only original manufacturer doing reissues that I'm aware of, and its 1200 so a little pricey for what you're getting. There's plenty of non-heritage brands who offer one for less. I've heard good stuff about Baltany and they're making them for less than 200 bucks.
Are people seriously defending the Sky-Dweller?It's by far Rolex' worst watch.Why would I need a watch that tells date and month, but not the day?Also too big and thick.
>>18771567Could also look into the Laco/Stowa Fliegers. The basic ones are around 500 and they have nicer spec'd out ones for a little over 1000.
>>18771570Another one of my favorites by the Russian manufacturer Sturmanskie, the first watch worn in space by Yuri Gagarin. I've been wanting the 33m because its the closest to vintage specs, but it's been sold out on their website for years and impossible to find on secondary markets. As soon as I find one I'm buying, but I don't think its happening at this point. They still have plenty in 40mm on their website.
>>18771576Outside of the heritage military stuff, here's another one that I would probably also have if it wasn't sold out on their website and impossible to find on secondary markets.
>>18771593Last one I'll throw out there (its vintage which I'm you're wanting to avoid). Watch given out by the CCP to police and military who participated in the Tienanmen Square Massacre. Pretty rare watch, there's one thats been floating around on ebay for months but the guy wants way too much for it. It never sells and he's probably relisted it 8 times at this point, but he never budges when I send him reasonable offers.
>>18771568the whole dweller series is trash
>>18771507i like the explorer ii >>18771533star trek > star wars P E A K Navitimer vibes, this owner actually had a tasteful band
>>18771609The Rolex Explorer ii the only Rolex on sale rn I actually like
>>18771531>At 38.5mm it looks positively huge on the wristpost tits
>>18771599I like the Land Dweller.
Seiko should make digital watches again.
is there any kind of consensus on the brand cachet/image of parmigiani fleurier? sort of intrigued by the tonda annual calendar but nobody seems to own them, and the brand itself seems to be potentially just an overpriced also-ran? but maybe they're an undiscovered gem destined for greater appreciation and respect?
>>18771677It has some tough competition
>>18771644post pic of which one you like
>>18771704No.I like the 36mm in stainless steel.
>>18771507LOL, you don't get to say something released by Rolex is "not a Rolex". You fucking egotistical twat. Even someone who owned a Rolex doesn't get to have that opinion, and you never will.
>>18771527$1,400 for a USED one of those? haha, yeah, buy it, dumbshit. A fool and his money are soon parted.
>>18771563Do you actually own anything or you just base your opinions on these stock images you post?No one gives a fuck what you think. Stop posting these huge paragraphs of your useless opinions.

>>18771767You missed him trying to post in a sunglasses thread. He found some broken Diors in the garbage and he was trying to flex with them despite them missing pieces.Instead of being proud that he found sunglasses in the dumpster, he got all pissy that no one thought he was high-class.
>>18771770hes stll posting them actually >>18770745some real simulacra brain going on, function completely abandoned in favor of the brand name attached.
hell yeah brother
>>18771776lmfao it's like he's wearing every name-brand thing he owns at once. Still looks like a hobo.
>>18771778okay look at me smiling, I was so happy to find a Gila Monster
Damn, two toxic desert creatures in one photo.
>>18771727Why don't you just ask these "torturers" their names or report them to the local authorities?Because they don't exist, nutbar!hahahahaha
>>18771778What is that watch?Also please leave the poor little critters alone. It feels like you catch one every time you want to show off your watch lol
>>18771760I'm satisfied by this justification. Some dead silkscreen artist opined that it's cool to wear dead watches. Of course his did work if he'd wound it.
>>18771790Is that your real hair? You look ridiculous.
>>18771808yeah... I have curly hair. "You look ridiculous." I had the balls to post my face and you say that to me?
>>18771805SKX-007 on a blu-shark nato strapit was gently let gothat other anon killed my mood

>>18771808>Is that your real hair?It's funny that you would ask about my hair and THEN insult my appearance. What's the matter, you're angry that you can't have nice hair or fair skin?
kofeanon are there any citizens you are considering adding to your collection or do you feel like youve 'completed' the brand
>>18771810>>18771825Are either of these from the person who actually posted?
>>18771832I am >>18771790
>>18771828>kofeDon't.I feel I've completed the watch collection, Citizen included.
>>18771790Looking good, bro. You remind me of Jontron- the face and hair combo. Cool watch and cool lizard. Don’t expect genuine thoughts from these guys. They just live off insulting others.
>>18771835what sort of release would it take to get you to buy more
>>18771839Gila monsters are really cool. One of the only venomous lizards on the entire planet. I'm a normal looking guy and the people dunking on me are probably just not White and angry about that.
redpill me on credor
>>18771842 But you're a jew though
>>18771845Hahaha. No, I'm not a Jew.
>>18771845You reminded me of a kid in elementary school. He came up to me and my group of friends and was going on about how he was one of God's chosen people and we were all going to hell. I said, "Okay, you don't have to play with us."
>>18771812Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great value watch.Don’t mind the other anon’s retarded jealous ass. You look great and I admire your bravado; not only getting close to such a wild creature but having the gall to even restrain it and sit still with it for a picture. In my best of days I would scarcely dare approach it.Releasing it unharmed speaks to the nobility of your character. Please continue sharing such curious finds although please never at the risk of your own safety.
>>18771844They're (credorbros) losing so hard.
>>18771810Do you have the face to post your balls?
>>18771841I don't understand this question.
>>18771861what sort of new watch could citizen or seiko make to get you to consider adding to your collectionalternativelygun to your head you HAVE to buy one more watch,,, what would it be
>>18771856here's a desert tortoise I saw
>>18771856>>18771863I have always wanted to travel to the southwestern US and see an alien or unexplained sighting or creature. I am a believer in Phil Schneider’s claims on Dulce base and Bob Lazar. I would love to just hike the Arizona deserts and look for something unexplained.
>>18771847Yes, you clearly are.
>>18771868It literally doesnt matter if he is or not. What business is it to you?
>>18771868https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB8dxgFI0vgoyyy vey
>>18771862Oh. There's nothing I'm looking for or waiting for. If I had to buy another watch? Maybe the new 35mm Bulova Super Seville with the sodalite dial but the full silver bracelet and bezel instead of the two-tone. Of course I did buy it but was eventually informed it was on some kind of indefinite backorder so I just got a refund and decided not to replace it with anything else. And the more I look at it the more I realize with a fluted bezel it's probably considered a 'dress watch'. And as I rarely get dressed up in suits for formal events I probably shouldn't have so many dress watches. I want that Precisionist movement but almost every watch it comes in is some kind of compromise. It's not that the thrill is gone so much as I don't want to keep buying watch display cases and watches I'm not going to wear.This Monogriis looked pretty cool and some other anon here bought a white version. I almost got it but I just don't see the point. I have more watches than I could ever fully enjoy as it is. Also, it's probably another dress watch.
>>18771868Stop this. You can't tell if someone is Jewish by looking at them (unless they have wool coats and curls and beards and the whole uniform).And what's the problem with Jews anyway? You call him that like it's a bad thing if he were. I didn't say Israel, I said Jews. What's wrong with a Jewish person who is just another white American? Fucking ignorant bigotry happening on a large scale these last few years and I see no reason for it other than idiocy.

>>18771880Someone who regularly wore a suit would never make a bitter, immature post like yours.
>>18771874My curly hair comes from being Irish. Nothing at all to do with Jews
>>18771882Curly hair has nothing to do with being Irish either. I'm Irish and my hair isn't curly (not since I was 10). Lots of different kinds of people have curly hair. I've seen red hair being associated with Irishness but not curly.
>>18771883Yeah I dunno, my hair has just always been naturally curly like that. I had some woman suddenly come up to me and started grabbing and pulling my hair just 2 weeks ago asking me about it... I really didn't like that
>>18771872i wanted kofe anons answer not shittercel
>>18771886Who are these people you're making up names for?
>>18771887fairly obvious. you act like a newfag at least a year into posting.
>>18771889You are purposely trying to engage the Nazi who hasn't even posted recently? Is that "kofe anon" to you?Good luck getting your answers. Why don't you own a watch?
The faces of /wt/ Choose your player
>>18771890i want input on mildly esoteric japanese watches. kofe poster has a few of those. i very obviously was not trying to engage with the buyer of infinite garbage tier chinese shitters. in fact, mostly nobody wants to do that. begging the question why you post here at all, since everyone looks down on you and nobody cares what you have to say or what you are buying or not buying
>>18771882Yeah, you know, all the well known Irish people with curly hair, like.......???How many more lies to you plan to tell?
>>18771891is that terry
>>18771893Yeah. Irish people can have curly hair. Obviously not 100% of the time
>>18771894SKX anon, PMX anon and the Breitling schizo in descending order.

>>18771899Apart from phrenology which is illegal, how?
>>18771892lol, you speak only for yourself. You're in my thread right now. That Nazi has one watch and old photos of another watch. He's an OCD spammer. You need to use your shift key. Everything else you wrote is incorrect including pretending you look down on me and don't care what I think and buy. You clearly can't get enough of me.
>>18771891Guy on the right is clinically insane and lives on the streets. Imagine being homeless and still posting here. I guess it's true what they say.
>>18771891I forgot to mention that my SKX also has an aftermarket sapphire crystalFor me, it's Seiko, H&K, Surefire, and Spyderco.>>18771904Who is the Nazi?
>>18771906shittercel is like an msnbc tier libtard/redditor so he thinks calling out le ebil nazis on 4chan is some sort of crusade. i forget why he calls kofe tiem a nazi but it's like a tourettes tick that shittercel has.
>>18771907>le ebil
>>18771907Ironically enough, Shittercell supports Azov battalion and Kapustin/ the RVC because he thinks Russia is a Fascist state (despite having communists and Liberal Democrat party both in the state duma) so he views it like Nazi infighting. Mentioning his support of Azov is a good way to rile him uo. That one thread he wrote like fifty posts about it.
>>18771909Literally all you have to do is say "jew" and he'll go IDF mode, which you can see he's doing right now.
>>18771902>noticing that different ethnic groups of people look different is illegal
>>18771734Grats anon. Enjoy it :)
>>18771909hold on, you have to fix your watch before you get to join the anti shittercel coalition. until its fixed it will technically count as a shitter so you're like a capo for shittercel
>>18771909>>18771910You're conflating different anons. I don't answer to "shittercel", but I have a lot of watches, many Chinese, but many not, and I've shared them with the community since around Christmas. I have never heard of 'Azov' anything and you can't tie me to any of the political bullshit you're obsessed with. I do call out the Nazi guy who posts one watch because he fucking sucks for constantly posting that watch and he often frames it with swastika coins. That's the extent of it. Outside of this website it's still not acceptable to support Nazi shit. You're trapped in a bubble if you think it is. And even if you think it's acceptable here, I don't. And I'm going to say so in my threads and everyone else's. Constantly evoking the Jews and pretending they relate to all of these hobby board topics has about ruined the site. Forgive me for being a normal person on 4chan in 2026. I'm quite aware there aren't many of us left.
>>18771915so youre a jew?
>>18771916Nope. But I can tell you're simple. >only Jews don't hate Jews
>>18771918no, a lot of things are making sense now, always hunting for deals, unable to say no to ali watches "on sale", hating everything expensive. youre the watchjew
This $35 35mm auto looks intriguing but the store selling it is suspicious.
>>18771919Just like the lizard guy is Jewish because.... because you can just see it on him.
>>18771002Update. I forgot to switch to my BiDen R015 before going, unfortunately, so its durability remains untested.Instead I went with what I already had on by default which was my Casio A168 which as we all know is made of adamantium and absolutely indestructible. It remains unbothered by the thrashing and bashing of the metal festival.
>>18771919I thought Jews were rich and sold expensive things and controlled the economy and world at large. Now they're cheapskates who don't like wealth and buy Chinese trinkets?Kind of conflicts with the usual stereotypes. But no one ever accused a bigot of being intelligent. lol
>>18771921Yes, unironically. I don't know why you're still arguing over it.
>>18771924Maybe because anon himself announced that he's Irish. Only an immature fool would insist admitted goys are Jewish. What are you even doing with your life? You poor, ignorant piece of shit.
>>18771841I just found it.
>>18771923you can fain ignorance but it just makes you look worse, watchjew shittercel. ultimately i dont really care if you are a jew. its just funny. and as ive stated before, you sought us out. you have every hallmark of being a newfag. you dont know how to be anon, you dont know any vernacular, you dont know contexts or injokes. you are not 'the one normal guy whos just always used 4chan', you are some middle aged retard with an ugg bed spread from marshalls who decided to go spelunking into shitty parts of the internet. you have a great ego about yourself. jesus incarnate, saving us from the swiss scams, saving us from freakin nazis, saving the hobby boards from the political sperging. all while posting absolutely uninteresting trash nobody cares about and inspiring no greater discussion. you jump at questions for other anons to elaborate at great length about yourself and your purchases and your feelings, despite nobody giving a fuck.all in all one day israel will be nuked. the left is starting to get it, the right has always gotten it. the middle where you pretend to live is a sinking island. will your hoard survive the blast? probably not. but this board will improve drastically.
>>18771932>fain

I've been on 4chan since 2011 and I reject your in jokes and your vernacular and your "ironic" hatespeech. I always have. I didn't burden /fa/ with it until last year. Sorry, chucklehead. You're stuck with me. Be grateful I make the threads in which you choose to display what an edgy pile of shit you are. If you should ever lose your virginity I'm sure you'll mellow out and stop trying to shock everyone with your contrarian takes on the world.

>>18772143If you're not a pilot or a bleeding edge jazz musician you have no business wearing a Navitimer to work.
>>18772156Billy Breitling when he invented the circular slide rule tool watch intended it to be used by a wide variety of peoplers. Only later did pilots obsess on it, and how would musicians use a slide rule while playing music.
>>18772156maybe you should learn what it can do
>>18772167>peoplersCan you give a few examples of different types of peoplers served by the navitimer?
>>18772185well if you look at early advertising they provide examples for the everyday shopper trying to find the best deal making calculations like cost per lb or doctors making quick calculations on heart beats or meds i it’s a calculator you can use it to calculate anything i dug up an old manual PDF it gibbed examples myself personally as a homeless person who likes to watch birds i’d try to calculate bird velocity of course this would require waiting for birds to fly between two points and i’d have to be quick on the timer

>>18771972that COSC tissot is fire. too bad about 39mm, I have skinny wrists, but I'd probably still wear it. were you able to get a good price for it?
>>18771248dope.
>>18772271thanks anon. my wrists are probably as skinny as yours. ~6.5". and yeah the ETA 2824-2 is a great caliber that's been used or adopted into in-house movements by Tudor, Longines, Breitling. i ordered it from the manufacturer a year after release, they've gone up in price about $100 in the two years since. remains an absolute steal. only complaint is the 5bar water resist. i don't even like to wear it in rain and am careful washing hands.
