Let's discuss watches of all sorts.Previous: >>18773704
>>18775897Anyone else notice how the quality of these threads dropped by a large margin ever since whoretadello left?We used to joke /wt/ stands for whoretadello's thread, but little did we know that actually was the case. In the good old days whoretadello and other avatarfrens discussed watches and made fun, quality posts in harmony with regular users. /wt/ actually was a comfy and meaningful place with its own identity.All this eventually turned to shit when bittercel started his relentless smear campaign. I suppose the only actual reason for that was his jealousy of whoretadello's wealth and social relationships. His mind turned his hard earned wealth into "tax fraud, inheritance money and liquidating his entire networth" and his relationships became nothing more than prostitution and human trafficking.I am sad that he left, but I understand his reasons. Eventually the smear would've gotten to him and affect his cheerful view of life in general. He did the right thing seeking better, more successful people and I don't blame him.I guess all good things come to an end and I want to thank you for the good times we had, in whoretadello's thread.
>>18775905Good times.
>>1877590590% of people left this site, i used to post in those threads but now the site asks me to verify my mail. I ain't verifying shit on this site. The community has been kind of trash for years, now they build shit that make it hard to even post on this god forsaken place.If you need an ID here then it becomes reddit without any of the advantages of reddit.
Anyways, i just put an aligator strap on my casio.I think it looks kind of retro cool (the strap is worth like $300, it's a Santoni strap, real aligator, the casio is worth a casio). Thoughts?
>>18775911I ignore the id requests and they go away if you post regularly.One for the Breguet fan club
Citizen; yes.
>>18775921Can't afford a Rolex?
>>18775924What kind of eldritch horror are you?
>>18775897cool watch what is it
>>18775924why do people insist on these ugly watches? Like, do you race? Doubt it. And did you think buying watches that are bigger than your wrist was a good idea? You look like a fool.

Im pretty new to watches but can someone explain why so many people prefer mechanical over quartz? Not wearing a watch for a day or two and then having to set it again is a pain
>>18775948They're just tools who eat up marketing slop.
>>18775948You can feel the movement, it's like a heart beat. Quartz feels lifeless.
>>18775924cant afford a Paul Newman?
>>18775930Ectomorph
>>18775948for like artistic purposes. Like a mechanical watch is harder to make so people like them. I switched to quartz and never looked back. They are lighter and as you say, fire and forget.
im looking into new casios for my little collection. id like the casioak and the original 5600 g-shock. wouldnt these be too big for a 17cm wrist? i already have the ae1200 and id say it looks very good size wise
>>18775961I have a 18cm wrist, narrow but tall, and i didn't like the CasiOak, it was too bulky and uncomfortable. That could just be me as i'm used to more sleek watches. May i suggest one of the Lineage models? I had one, two other anons also have them, they're nice watches.
>>18775972i dont know if its lineage but i was also thinking of the casio dura, probably the black one with plastic strap since full metal doesnt match any of my outfits which are more streetwearish, hence retro casio watches
>>18775914It looks like a cheap watch on a really nice expensive strap. In other words, it looks like what it is. Personally, I like it.
>>18775948A good seiko mechanical can last as much as 2 decades without needing to be opened, so in that way they function a bit like solar watches which is nice.Besides that it's all about whether you like the idea of a mechanical watch or not, something that could conceivably be passed down from one generation to the next. If you don't care about its mechanics at all then just go quartz.
>>18775920You will never have a Breguet. Why are you a "fan"?
>>18775924Those don't fit you, boy.
>>18775961Squares wear smaller than the width suggests since the bezel is wider than it is tall. Check the L2L to make sure it wont overhang your wrist but if it doesn't then the classic DW5600 square is fine.I just got this GMD-S5600 (Left) which is the apparently somewhat secret smaller g shock square, it's very slightly smaller, but wears really nice. I don't even have small wrists (~7.25") and it's great, especially with long sleeves. Can be found on ebay. I think this is the smallest G Shock branded watch out there, everything smaller than this will be "Baby G" and will have a really short strapThere is also a "small" casioak like this. I dont remember the ref#
>>18775998>pretends quartz watches wont outlast a mechanical watchplease explain how the watch with less moving parts will break faster than the watch with more moving parts
G-Shock square gang report in.
>>18775948Read about the Quartz Crisis. Its one of the biggest achievements in marketing. Those mountain jews are no jokeIn a nutshell, watches are no longer tools but jewellery. Practicality is not the main feature
>>18776058Longevity comes from service, not just robustness. A quartz watch can last many years but they are basically disposable, even if you could fix it(you probably can't) it would be cheaper to buy a new one. Mechanical time pieces could legitimately run for hundreds of years with mostly original parts, a couple replacements and repairs here and there with regular maintenance. It's actually the original watch staying in the family.
>>18776059checking in since i have 3 now
>>18775948>Not wearing a watch for a day or two and then having to set it again is a painTaking care of a Porsche is more of a hassle than keeping a Toyota Corolla but people still want Porsches
>>18776058*fewer, not 'less'. And if you're dumb in a vocabulary capacity why would anyone trust your 'knowledge' on watches? lol
>>18775921You are not the "Citizen guy" because you only have one Citizen. I have three. You have to have the most Citizens to be the Citizen guy. Not that anyone would want to be known as that.
>>18776076are any of your citizens as accurate as the kofe citizen
>>18776073The "fewer less" nazi strikes again, kek.
>>18776095No. But I still own more and win the title I don't want. And the 'kofe' guy's doesn't even hit the minute markers unless he photoshops or tilts it. Imagine your life hobby is posting the same fucking watch over and over using old pictures.
I have 2 Orients, can I be the Orient guy?
>>18776098Wasn't the kofe guy exposed for leasing his watch a while ago?
>>18776100Sure. Why do you only have a stock image though?
>>18775914As long as it's comfy wgaf. I just put a seatbelt strap on my 5610 and it's amazing
This general should be read-only for anyone who doesn't own a solid gold watch.
>>18776098quality over quantity, kofe unironically does have probably the best watch citizen has made
I have 7 dilators, can I be the dilator girl?
Can anyone identify this watch as precisely as possible? At first it looks like maybe a seiko or citizen but I'm not so sure.
>>18776118It was a kind of respectable watch before he ruined it for everyone in this community.
>>18776118>the best watch citizen has madeHe doesn't have a 0100.
>>18776126ok so one of the best. its still like a 9f you can get for under 2k
>>18776108cuz my lighting was horrible and doesnt make the watch justice.Seriously, why it came so yellow
>>18776138Why are y'all faggots living in Japan?Is it just one guy?
Kofé time.
>>18776141Where_do_you_think_we_are.bmp
>>18776124Women’s watch. Why do you want to know bro?
>>18776138Looks huge on you. Get the 38.5mm instead.
>>18776143You no longer even possess that watch. >>18776144A US site.
well, allow me to repeat myself...>Apparently I slept on ASPF having done the best IWC replicas before being raided, where you you think I could still source one?
>buying a fake watch>its a fucking IWCdream bigger, anon....
>>18776048At least one anon here does
>>18776150I agree, its bigger than expected, 42mm. Its a shame that bambinos only began to be offered in 38 recently. For me the selling point was the dial so I compromised. My other Orient is 40
>>18776157The small no-date ones are my favorites.
>>18776146Take a wild guess, bro.
poor yet smug
>>18776155I just want that specific watch. Thats way better than getting a Rolex you dont really appreciate just to flex
>>18776106No one here actually owns watches. The lower level marketers use stock images while some are sent actual pieces to take pics and post them here "organically". Use your brain for once and see the truth, this is all reseller underground marketing.
>>18776138Download Snapseed and you can fix it with the white balance setting
>>18776153Not only they have been raided but replicas have become way too mainstream lately.Unless you live in Brazil, India or some other third world country that don't give a fuck, buying a replica has become more dangerous than ever.
>>18776178No one escapes the Orient Mafia!
>>18776181Im in a >goodish country, whats the danger?
>>18776188It gets seized at custom, and depending on the country you get a fine.
>>18776196terrible watch with a great strap
>>18776198I'm not aware of a country that punishes the buyer of the fake merch. Usually they just go after whoever is knowingly manufacturing and/or selling fake stuff.
>>18776202It's a bullshit molded plastic strap.
>>18776210and it looks great
poorlex
Has anyone here actually solves watches?
>>18776235Is that one o them sleeter movements?
>>18776239Datejust. There literally isn't a better, safer, more correct option for luxury watches. They make it in every size with a million combinations of dial colors and bezels and bracelets, there's definitely a right one for you.
>>18776244Show us your DJ
>>18776240https://portal.eta.ch/en/mecaline/phased-out/2895-2-2895-2-5.html
>>18776244Daydate is leterelly the upgraded version of a dayjust
>>18776239>Has anyone here actually solves watches?Bittercel >>18776226 has.He hasn't had to spend a dime on watches. (Full disclosure: he is too poor to afford any watches) All he has to do is be here every single day to make everyone else hate watches.
>>18776248thats not me
>>18776249No, because you are me. And I'm not this guy:>>18776248
>>18776245Why? Did you think I wouldn't have one?Rolex blue sunburst dials don't get nearly enough credit, by the way, the color appears really dynamic and can range from black to blue to light blue to even purples sometimes depending on the lighting. But you kind of have to buy it and wear it out a bunch of places to get that so everyone thinks it's just one of the basic bitch options.
>>18776247The problem is it's only available in precious metals. The datejust is available in every metal(except platinum?) so anyone who has any business buying a luxury watch can afford one and justify wearing it anywhere any day of the week. It's unassailable in that way, it's never going to be too expensive or too flashy or too heavy for you.
>>18776248Bittercel unironically likes watches too much.He fantasises owning pieces only the top 0.1% of the first world could feasible attain, which pretty much locks him out of the market completely.he, justly so, shits on the DAGA spec monster strap monster copers here, who set mediocrity as their goal.
>>18776256putting it that way sounds based. remind me again why we hate bittercel?
I tried putting an adapter on my G-shock square and it didn't fit. So I tried putting the strap back on and it didn't fit. What the fuck do I do?
>>18776258Yes, because I shit over my wrist.
>>18776076Doesn't he also have a Stiletto?
>>18776118One anon has that fancy time-only 1spy Citizen.
>>18776265No, that's still me. One of the three is the Suratto.
>>18776246Is that supposed to be better?
>>18776260>buys indestructible watch, built to survive the most retarded people on earth>breaks the watch
>>18776076>>18776076>>18776076>that anyone would want to be known as that.Then why do you want that
>>18776073fucking stannis baratheon over here
>>18776270What's a sleeter movement? It's only Elabore grade which is pretty lame considering how much they retail for
>>18776260You probably got the wrong adapter. G Shocks are known for being a pain to change the straps. Just take it to a watch vendor and have them do it for you.
>>18776257>putting it that way sounds based. remind me again why we hate bittercel?because he's poor, jealous, and annoying.he should spend less time here reminding us about how poor, jealous and annoying he is (as if we could ever forget) and spend more time getting a job so he could actually buy a watch, literally any watch.you don't realize how poor he actually is. he's not someone who wants a lange but can only afford a rolex. he can't even afford the most basic casio.
There's a watch under $2000 thats better than all of the watches discussed or posted in this thread so far
>>18776282You think anyone who criticizes anything is this fictional "bittercel" from your bullshit lore of this board. I've been called bittercel dozens of times in the last couple years and I have a bunch of watches. You're a schizo whose pattern recognition is turned all the way down so you always give in to your confirmation bias. You're a fucking idiot. I don't want to assume like you do, but it's very possible you wrote this: >>18775905Because how many posters here try attaching monikers to random, anonymous people?
>>18776284Calm down, Bittercel.
>>18776265>>18776268Orient Guy (me) has a Stretto
>>18776281Thanks.
>>18776284i was called bittercel once. there is a real bittercel but i dont think he posts anymore. he mostly hated reversos.
>>18776253So we're just going to ignore the "post watch" retard getting pwned?
>>18776296>pwnedJesus fucking christ, anon.
>>18776297Where's the lie though?
>>18776297Can't say the o-word on 4chan
>>18776297What a newfag.
Is buying old gold vintage watches a good strategy for both collecting cool watches AND investing in gold?
>>18776308I don't think there's much gold in such watches from a metal-stacker point of view
>>18776307Thinking your cutesy misspelled "internet culture" faggotry is cringe as fuck does not make me new.
Are Hyakuichi watches any good?
>>18775914Looks good, has a lot of character. I live in a tropical country so I personally hate wearing leather watch straps but thank you for keeping the alligator industry alive.
>>18776317Gonna cry?
>>18776322Yes. I am going to cry.
