I'm thinking about a Vario. Probably the 37mm trench with the bund strap though. But I can never even come close to narrowing down the color I want. And they say they're raising the prices soon. I can live without it.
Doesn't seem to be a lot of appreciation for microbrands here. Either luxury, digital, or Chinese. Mostly luxury.
Oh yeah, because paying $500 for a watch with a Miyota 8000 series is kind of wack.
This is a chronograph with a counter. You can advance the counter by 10 with the 10 o'clock pusher and by 1 with the 4 o'clock pusher. The counter also advances by 1 at midnight, so you can also use it as a big date. Shame the watch is extremely rare as it was only sold during the 1964 Olympic Games inside the Olympic Village.
Needs more The Citizen in here.

what's a good watch for a person who lives on state funded benefits as a hold over until I get to my rolex submariner?

>>18788091It really bothers me when the bezel triangle is not complete but it is kind of "trimmed" like this.It's a small detail, but it ruins many dive watches for me.

>>18788132~7.25"
I'm having to sell my collection due to financial struggles and so I'll be buying a $400-$500 GADA watch to replace all their roles, once they've all sold. I've been agonizing about it for about three weeks now and I've narrowed it down to these three. Which would you choose?>TissotGoes with pretty much everything, but can't flex between straps (I know they make notched leather straps for it but I think they're ugly as sin). It also has no micro adjustment. Very accurate though, I owned one years ago and it had impressive timekeeping for an automatic in this price range.>SeikoMy favorite dial and handset by far, but pretty much requires you buy a $100+ aftermarket bracelet for it as it's terrible quality and has only two micro adjustments. The movement also has pretty awful timekeeping even when regulated, in my experience. Can flex between straps, looks especially great on brown leather.>BulovaSleeper hit here, has the Precisionist quartz movement that is accurate to +/- 10 seconds a year, last 4-5 years on a battery, and has a smoothing sweeping seconds hand like a Grand Seiko. The issue would be same as the Tissot, stuck on the bracelet with no micro adjustment, and also that the fluted bezel, while beautiful, is hard to dress down to more casual outfits. Which do you think I should go with? I'm really stuck on this.
>>18788173What are you selling? Why not pick a watch based on having similar features to a few of your favorite watches?
>>18788178That's basically what I'm doing. I'm selling:Seiko Alpinist SARB017Lorier Zephyr (green special edition)Geckota Sea Hunter (Jade special edition)Seagull 1963 Icon II, bronze green chrono limited editionCitizen NB1062-17W
>>18787950Is this copy pasted, I saw the same post yesterday
>>18788182Unironically, I don't know if selling all these and buying something else will leave you with enough money left to be worth doing it.
>>18788128they made a plastic version of this too? holy slop
>>18788188Zephyr goes for $2000 to $3000 (one sold for $3400 recently, the one before that sold for $2400), Geckota I bought used for $750 so I'll ask for the same, Alpinist for $900 (after which I had it serviced, so I think that adds value), Seagull for $450 (like new, selling for $615 plus shipping right now), Citizen for $700 (although the last sale of one online was 2+ years ago). Hoping to get $4000 to $5000 for everything. I know it doesn't make much sense to sell watches if comparable value only to buy one that's $300-$600, but I want to replace them all with a single watch that does pretty much everything, if that makes sense.

>>18788222There are dozens of watches I'd rather buy if I had $16k to spend on one.
>>18788226Even the non-limited ones cost more than the IWC and they only have 3 shitty colors with bland dial textures. I don't know wtf Swatch is smoking.
Kofé time.
>>18788233No one who posts here owns that watch.There's never been a timestamped photo of it.All images are at least three years old and there are fewer than five of them. Pathetic is the man who keeps posting it.
does every watch look good on a nylon strap or or are there rules like matching colors?

>>18788260another tantrum?
>>18788262You are shittercel having a fit. Go back to your cheap watch thread.
The guy who hates watches just bumped every single existing watch thread. Imagine being this fucking stupid and spending your time in this way. lol
>>18788264the shitter thread is just shittercel talking to himself in some kind of psychotic episode
>>18788270WHO is 'shittercel'? You just call everyone that. You call every watch 'shitters'. You often just post the word 'shitters' with no link to any specific watch. You're totally insane. Fuck off or buy watches. The choice is yours. But you can't just hang out here and criticize everything vaguely.
>>18788113Date window is an eyesore even on the ivory dial ones, why can't they just match the color with the dial or match the markers accent color.

>>18788173>financial strugglesNigga, why are you still thinking about what wrist watch to buy? Sell all your trinklets and never come back here. You already have a modern pocket watch in your pocket.
I'm pleasantly surprised
>>18788308>My choice is best everyone else is wrong blah blah blahGay
Kofe time.
Chrono24 is useless. Stores are asking 25% over retail for pieces that are available in stock from the manufacturer and private sellers are offloading shitters. There I said it
>>18788358ebay and reddit mog c24 in for sale by owner right nowc24 is all dealers
>>18788361looks awful
>>18788362It does? If I'd have known you'd think that I never would have bought it.
>>18788364yes
>>18788323They look cheap in person. When you see the watch on an angle the case and crystal cast shadows on the dial and the dial just looks like a flat piece of paper with numbers printed on it. It's like there's no volume or substance or soul to it at all.
>>18788380>It's like there's no volume or substance or soul to it at all.That's most people, so makes sense that homos is still popular. I thought it was a /wt/ meme that was gonna die

>>18788443It's a case of appreciating the design but not the overpricing. $100 is fair. $1,000 is ridiculous.
But I'm "poor", so what do I know? It's probably more "based" to spend the $1,000 so some German guy can get paid more to make cheap watches.
>>18788544>It's a case of appreciating the design but not the overpricing. $100 is fair. $1,000 is ridiculous.Going from 0 to 95 is cheap. Going from 95 to 99 costs a lot. Going from 99 to 100 is incredibly expensive.Those final details are always the most expensive.Well, what are you getting with that extra 900 bucks when you buy the Nomosover the Chinese thing?Real customer service and a warranty?A better designed, in-house movement?Real QC? A movement that's been properly adjusted, not just regulated?Even the case finishing. Sure, they're both just high--polish, but you can tell when you hold them side-by-side that one is polished with care and the other is indifferently mashed against a buffing wheel.You're not JUST paying for design and raw materials. Time and labor are always expensive.None of those things are free. If you don't care about any of those, then, by all means, go for the very cheapest option.
>>18788550Yeah, I don't care. I like the design but I don't love it. Not even close to a watch I'd wear more than once a month. I could never justify $1,000 for some close-up details on a fucking wristwatch. And there are no visible flaws as you assume. There's no obvious lack of care. There's really not much to gussy up on such a plain design. Which is why people frequently call Nomos out for costing so much for what it is. A flat, bland, printed dial on a really rudimentary case with post lugs. If it was something I'd wear all the time though, well I'd still not spend more than a few hundred tops. It's a goddamned watch.
And I don't think Nomos offers it in PURPLE.

hot take, If you don't have a 3M$ portfolio you don't deserve to wear more than an ae1200
>>18788590 You mean as a reason to think it's worth $1,400? No, that does not 'blow my skirt up'. Nor does their proximity to some other snob watch outfit. You're fucking sad. But I'm glad you think it's worth it. That's a ritzy neighborhood your watch came from. I'd totally forgotten that someone here actually bought a real one at full price. No wonder you're so sensitive about it.

I really like it a lot.
>>18788784Is it thick?
>>18788788Thick and long bbygirl
>>1878878813.5 but it has a domed crystal. The Nato it came on also adds some thickness. But I always cut off the second strap underneath. I'm going to put it on leather anyway.
