Nice faggy movement there DW...

Copped an Omega Seamaster 300 Professional today. Like that most dumbfucks have no idea that my plain watch cost 3k and shits on their faggoty TAGs

>>12658043
Quartz. GTFO

>>12658043
sorry to hear that

i don't know too much about watches so i wear a seiko s5 every day because i read it was a reliable watch. so far it has been great. can anyone who knows some shit recommend my next watch sort of in that price range, $100-$300 of same or better quality? what are some other brands to check out?

Bauhaus bitches

Got this 3 days ago

My watch is Citizen's best mechanical, the NA0000-59B. Essentially like a Grand Seiko, but it ain't even got that branding - it's just a Citizen Automatic. Great if you don't want people noticing your Rolex.

>>12658371
get a different band. blue on blue is pretty terrible.

>>12658383
Was thinking getting another one with a creamy tone yeah. I'm having a look at how to swap the bands.

What brand/price range should I aim for?

>>12658336
That's a beautiful piece, how accurate is that?

>>12658477
Haven't been checking it, but I guess its within +-20s/d. I could always regulate it myself quickly if I wanted.

>>12657366
are you sure you want that bro? its fuckin hideous

>Daniel Wellington

lmao

>>12658506
100 %

Opinions?

>>12658524
I like the combination of class and tool watch design in this, the dial makes it stand out from the crowd and the elegant case finishing solidifies the timepiece's position in the dress watch section. What a treat!
Wear it in good health my friend.

>>12658545

>>12657329
I wanna get a nice watch soon, is Tissot any good ? If so, which tissot watches would you recommend ?

>>12658793
https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-mens-watch-t0636171603700.html
Tissot is a decent brand, you can get better with more money though.

>>12658796
>you can get better with more money though
no shit

>>12658808
Also you can get better with less money

awful

>>12658256
I'm just going to recommend you watches that I like:
>Seagull 1963 (apparently a good auto despite being Chinese, very good looking original design for the price)
>hamilton field
>Mondaine, (quartz and apparently a shitter according to a few people who own it, but I consider it /fa/ as opposed to /g/)
>Baltic (some microbrand with good looking auto, very /fa/ but no guarantee that it's reliable)
At this price point you should check out /wt/ on /g/, although they will recommend you a better Seiko like SARB035

Too big

Is my Citizen eco fa?

Where can I send a Seiko 5 to be modded? I was originally going to go with yokobies but he doesn't have the hands I want and won't put in parts from another company. I also called the closest watchmaker who said she wasn't interested in doing mod work (???). So is there somewhere or someone I can send the watch to to have the parts put on? Model is SNZH60

>>12659774
Nice. What model is this?

Opinions?

>>12659369
I bought it thinking that the case was metal. Nope, it's just painted plastic. Looks like brushed steel from a distance, though. In retrospect I should've gotten the A158WEA-1EF.

>>12658374

That's about the stealthiest luxury watch I've ever seen. Love it.

>>12658793

Vintage Tissot is quality. If you're buying brand new I'd go with Hamilton over Tissot in that price range.

>>12659828

>>12659840
Burn that strap. Face is okay.

>>12659815
Start calling jewelers or watch shops around you. If you're willing to pay, eventually you'll find someone willing to do the work.

>>12659840
Everything about this screams cheap and disgusting.

>>12659975
ah thanks for the heads up

>>12658518
Come back to us in 3 weeks. Draw the watch on your wrist and think hard on it. Then if you haven't changed your mind we'll tell you what it is

Ok?

Good :)

Bought this Citizen Eco-Drive watch 2 years ago and since then is my everyday watch, what is your opiniom about it? I'm a watch enthusiast btw but still wanna know your opinion. Greetings

The back side

>have fuck tiny wrists
>want a dive watch so I can go swimming/in the ocean with a watch
>look at the Orient Ray/Mako, and the Seiko SKX
>around 42 mm is really pushing it for my wrists
>realize the Seiko Alpinist is water resistant 200M, and only 38 mm
Guess that'll be my next watch.

>>12660710
200m WR which is what the alpinist and Orients are rated isn't really the same as 200m Diver which the SKX is rated, but you probably wouldn't ever notice the difference in practice I guess. Also, the SKX is pretty small wrist friendly despite its size.

>>12660230
Hahahahahahahahaha because that tattoo thread you read that one time.

>>12660456

I do like it, though it's chunky. I usually favor slimmer faces but I think this would look very good with long sleeves. Might be a bit too emphatic for a t shirt, which is what I wear most of the time.

Be a man and stop wearing plastic Casios

>>12659991

Thanks! Here's a couple more pics, it's very rare in the EU and USA, so there ain't that many pics on the internet.

>>12661001

>>12661004

I've been thinking about copping a vintage omega constellation. Opinions? Anything I should look out for when looking around?

>>12661190
If you are a man, i would advice you to stay out of mesh straps. Otherwise good choise. Just don't buy one from Spain or India or under 50 bucks.

>>12660710
Tudor minisub

Almost 4 years of shitjobs and it wont fucking die

>>12660710

>>12658120
You do know that they are extremely thin, right? Unlike most watches on these threads, they are partially made by hand.

>>12660126

>>12661213

>>12661213
>>12661506
I found cheap LLoyd 1888 shoes from Spain, you think they might be fake?

I have a $100 aussie dollar budget and want a Seiko 5. I have 3 days left until my ebay $20-off code expires. How do I pick which dial color is best. darkblue/black dial or silver/white dial? Help.

>>12657329
>as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.
Your absurdly overpriced metallic chunk of timekeeping device does not contain cutting-edge materials, nor does it require extensive and elaborate displays of elegant micro-engineering.

I have this

>>12661590

And this

>>12661511
If you are looking at ebay watches, Spain spams watches almost as much as India. Many of those pieces look exactly like those pajeet shitters.
If you wanna pull the trigger on a spanish seller, make sure they actually are from Spain and make sure you see pics of the movement etc.

>>12661590
Nice taste, this is my dress watch

Opinions on this watch?

>>12659475
Uuuhm, don't say you prefer theese for dress watch

>>12661372
It will never die. Just do not bring them on a date ;)
Trust me

>>12661652
A Brathwait has always intriqued my so much, the man who inspired these watches is the epitome of a English gentleman.This timepiece signals that style too. Definitely a keeper.

>>12661684

pretty reasonable price too, looks much better than the Daniel Wellington in OP's post.

>>12661652
Overal nice wtach if its real leather strap
Quatrz movement? Don't be fooled and pay more than 50€ Ok max100€ of you realy like them. I would go for mechanical watch if possible, but thats me.
That quartz movement cost like 5€
I know people paying for watch like 300-400€ with this shitty movement. Dilletants in my opinions

>>12661609
It is time to get into replica business. You will learn to see deifferences and spot genuine/replica/fake watch. Yes, replica and fake are two things ;)

>>12661213
I was thinking of a yellow gold constellation with black leather strap, to keep it simple. What do you have against mest straps, though? Think they're too feminine?

>>12661590
>>12661611

Nice watch, good taste too !

>all these shitters ITT

When a timepiece doesn't cost more than a years wage, it means it's DOGSHIT, PHUCKAS!

>>12661733

>what's the point of buying a nomos now?

>>12663266
At a quick glance this looks nice, but I do think this one strap looks wrong for the watch. The clean perfection of the rolex doesn't work well with the almost dirty looking texture of the strap, I'd get a strap with the same type of grain and colour but with a more luxurious texture to accommodate the rolex properly.

>>12663328
Seems like a great buy for $120.

>>12663515
Neither. But if you insist anyway take the black one.

>>12663639
Looks wonderfully unique.

>>12664317
Your fist looks like the real life rendition of Patrick

>>12664731
My own personal taste, people can rightfully disagree, but I don't like daytonas at all actually, I think their design is much too crowded. So I'd say not. If I had to choose though I'd take the black face.

Copped for 10 bucks, put it on a old Swatch strap I had. Can't really find a strap that's not plastic for them.

>Buy a cheap Timex Expedition, love the simple look of it

Why can't Timex make a shitty movement line of watches? Sell them as cheap as a Seiko 5?

>>12666970
I'm worried now, is Junghans a meme that fucks customers in the ass?

>>12666993
Junghans is a good company, Junkers supposedly is shit because they copy Junghans and then you have Stührling as the bottom of the barrel out of those three.

>>12666993

As a general rule, watches by fashion companies are trash. You can find much nicer watches for much less.

my parents made me Casio's bitch

Which one guys? My concern is that the silver to feminine.

>>12671201
Go crazy, buy both. I know it's a lot of money for you but when they are of such good quality how can you not.

>>12671070
Very cool. Despite what (((they))) say, fashion brands that are popular for their quality in the first place tend to make proper timepieces as well.

Love this Timex classic digital. Gold face with the silver band.

>>12658374
Absolutely fabulous taste
Citizen uses the highest quality materials and coatings for their top end watches and you can tell that

who else /this/

would you cop this? for use with a cheap leather band

>>12672826

>>12658371
I like it, consider maybe a nice tan-leather strap? very nice though.

>>12666604
as soon as I ordered my f91w I wanted to order this one instead. It's a bit more substantial, and being able to swim with it is helpful. Though you can actually swim with the f91w, it's not recommended, but it honestly wouldn't have a problem. and even if it did, it's a 5 dollar watch. but if my f91w beater did get lost or broken (less likely) I would replace it with a W59, definitely.

I'm sure I saw one you guys the other day.

>>12673756
This image makes me unexplainably angry. I have never been as angry at a watch. Who does that, who places those Casios on a black leather strap. Especially an ugly strap like that one, looks like someone cut a piece of leather from a weekend bag under the influence of grain alcohol.

Can I unironically get an id on this?

No, I'm not joking.

>>12663246
If you ever want a redpill on watches, work a service job.

You will NEVER notice anyone's watch because they look like a generic metal band for most all people.

In my experience, you'll get shit on by /fa/, but the only types of watches people will notice are DWs or simple colored face watches with leather straps like pic related even though Komono is cheap as fuck.


Most watches /fa/ wears look like car speedometers with too many ornate details that no one will ever notice or care about but you.

>>12674346
Benrus are reasonably well known. If it's gold then it's probably 60's. I doubt it's worth a great deal but it isn't a shitter.
Until the pop the caseback I couldnt tell you more about it. But the sector dial is pretty cool. How big is it?

>>12674991
to add on, /fa/ neglects that no one stares at your wrist. They see you at a glance generally and will only see your watch at a distance or from their periphery

What this means is that the autistic weirdos like in OP's video that post watches with a million details are dumb.

It'll look like a bunch of garbled junk to most people if they even look at it for a second which they won't

>>12675004
last point is that the same simple basic design which adds a nuance to the outfit as a whole can be done expensively as well

Komono and DW are cheap and you're buying the design more than the quality, but Nomos watches like pic related do the same thing (as in actually get people to notice your watch) but are expensive and higher quality.

>>12674991
Yeah you'll notice DW and Komono because they're cheap tasteless dinner plates for people who get their taste from Facebook ads.

>>12675020
It's kind of funny to me that people seem incapable of grasping that watches are like a cherry on top of large shake with whipped cream.

You aren't wearing just a watch, you're wearing a whole outfit which people will notice first and foremost. The watch is supposed to only add side detail because again NO ONE will EVER grab your wrist and stare at the tiny little details and numbers/words on your watch.

Because of your autism, you think a watch has to steal the show rather than add to it subtly.

>>12675026
I usually wear an unremarkable 36mm watch that 99% of people would never ever notice, I'm not in it for getting compliments from strangers. What gets noticed is that big obviously fake gold dinner plate you posted.

>>12675034
>I don't have the confidence to be a significant personality after being noticed

>>12674991

>>12675259
In case anyone wanted to know it's a Casio w35

>>12674992
>>12674346
it's pretty small, I don't know the exact size but here is a side by side comparison with my Timex expedition scout and my fossil FS5112

Also, could I wear this as a dress watch?

>>12675357
>>12674992
>>12674346
Here is it on my wrist

>>12675357
Hell yeah you should wear it as a dress watch, but get it serviced first. I would swap the strap for something different, but that's personal taste I guess. Dress watches are supposed to be small, the 60s was a great time for gold dress watches.

Shame yours is so scratched up especially since it's gold plated, but there's not much you can do about case scratches anyway without ruining a watch. The crystal can easily be polished up though, which always immediately makes a watch look ten times better. The crown seems a little off, like it doesn't fit properly. Maybe it's a non-original replacement or it took a hit or something. There's no way to know for sure what shape the movement is in, but it doesn't look like there's any water damage at all to the dial so there shouldn't be any on the movement either.

>>12675379
Thanks! I'll take it to someone to get it polished up and serviced.

is it ok to wear a g shock?

im thinking of buying the one with the brown strap

>>12675411
I think it looks nice, however, I would keep it with casual clothes.

You can polish the crystal yourself with polywatch or even plain white toothpaste and a soft cloth. When you get it serviced I'm sure they'll polish the crystal very thoroughly for you, but those plastic crystals scratch really easy so just keep in mind that you can always polish it up yourself later on to keep it nice. You can't polish the case of the watch since it's gold plated, but polishing a watch is usually a bad idea anyway.

>>12675446
Thanks for the tips, I'm new to watches and I dont know much.

>>12675252
Don't expect good service from jomashop

'Designer' watches like Gucci and Boss are memes right? Better off to go for a Seiko? I hate big clunky watches and steel bands. I only like leather or fabric bands

What's a good pick around $500aud or less?

You make a solid point my good sir, however, most people who are into watches wear them for their own pleasure. In actual life nobody cares about your watch, not even if it's simple enough.
Wear whatever timepiece you want, in good health.
Cheers.

>>12675760
Find a strap you like.
Find a watch you like.
Buy both and wear your perfect watch.

>>12675026
Someday someone's gonna be like "nice watch! What is it?"
"UHHHH it's a komono"
And right there and then you're exposed as shitter.
Sure, a watch needs to blend into the whole outfit. But it's something more than a shirt you fuckhead.
If your accessories don't blend in or look stupid, just don't wear em with certain outfits.
But wearing uninteresting, cheap, soulless shit because "matchy, matchy" is another level my guy. If you're serious about your clothing, be serious about your accessories you cunt. Don't treat a watch like a garment, because it isn't you fucking nignog.
Either scrape the cash and buy a real, interesting timepiece or don't wear a watch at all. Btw, there's serious watches out there for even less than that kimono fashion shit.

Because it's a mediocre quality product that charges a premium price for. It's akin to buying Beats by Dre

>>12661611
nice watermark bro

>>12663266
not sure I like that strap but an hermes strap or some other crocodile strap would look great.
I really like some of the older rolex's on leather straps something about a brand new one on leather doesn't look as cool

>>12671603
They're like 80 dollars on Amazon

anyone have recommendations on a good (relatively) affordable bauhaus-looking vintage model?

>>12671370
it's a shitter brand lmao, be proud of your shitter

What model is this?

>>12671370
Enamel is cool, too bad it's the size of a wall clock

>>12676776
Pretty sure the logo is Omega, which means it's probably a vintage Seamaster. I'm not sure though because it seems strangely thick and oversized. Also why the hell is he wearing a nice watch if he's doing something that requires gloves?

Newest pick up, first Orient piece too.

>>12676159
just to clarify, when you say "real timepiece"/"serious watches", is this including simple and cheap but respectable watches like Timex's and Casio's and Seiko 5's as well? Because if so, I totally cosign this. A SNK809 isn't much, but it's a real watch that has its place in a collection. Unlike Fossil and Nixon and such.

>>12676792
I dig it.

Thoughts?

Sup watch thread, anybody know where I can find a good quality reproduction of the rolex ad (or similar ads) in this here shitpost, in obnoxious dorm room poster size? I wear a seiko my dad bought me since I'm a broke student but I want to aspire for something greater. I already have a decent resolution scan of it from some googling, but not a super great resolution.

Just copped

>>12677681
>I actually wrote that greentext shitpost
nice

I can't really help you, but I'm seconding this for interest as well. I printed a Nikon ad to hang above my camera collection because I like those old magazine ads. I own an Explorer so I'd love to have a neat ad to put by my watches too. I sure wish 1016 Explorers like in the photo were still $195.

>>12662845
>"Horology"
>It doesn't need to be accurate. It just has to impress other people
pleb

>>12677721

A cyclop on a chronograph with dive bezel. Also branding generic 7750 as muh in-house calibre. This is everything that's wrong with TAG. I've never seen a more try-hard watch with equally awful identity crisis. Don't even for a minute think the money you throw at this watch bought you a respectable spot in horology. I guarantee the watch is going already lose half of its value in 2 years. Your grand kids are gonna be PISSED you left this crap behind when you eventually croak. Nice cop dumb fuck next time spend your cash with intent more ambitious than to impress reddit.

>>12678120
That's harsh but I agree.

The only TAG Heuer watches I like are the Monaco and the Silverstone.

>>12678050
>I need to be more accurate than a mechanical wrist watch is
>so use a tool more suited to the job that you need that higher level of accuracy for
>hurr durr you only care about looks
No if you need higher accuracy than a watch provides why are you using a watch to time it?
That's like measuring a mile with an inch long ruler, it's not the rulers fault your retarded and are trying to do something it isn't suited for. Horses for courses my duder.

Are timex watches any good?

What are some other good common brands in the price range of Seiko, Casio and Tissot?

>>12678309

>TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK

If you want to advertise to the world that you're too broke to pay another 50 bucks for a decent watch.

>>12678313
This isn't a helpful post

At least post brands of what you consider better

Anyone own a Nomos or Stowa?

Stowa is a hell of a lot cheaper but it's a fair bit thicker than the Nomos which I'm not a fan of. Apparently a really good quality watch though still.

>>12678315

Timex watches have ridiculously loud ticking sound and it's the industry biggest mystery why they have not done anything about it.

In $100-200 range you can get very respectable Casio, Citizen, Seiko and Orient watches with excellent quality, designs and even some in automatic movements.

>>12678315
Timex weekender has the tick issue, don't know about fairfield, the chrono models do not have this problem.
Good brands are Seiko, Citizen and Casio. Go for these if you want the best bang for the buck.

>>12660230
I have thought about it, i want the watch, help me!

>>12678321

Buy your Nomos used. You'll be happier. And if you're not, you're more likely to be able to sell it for about what you paid.

Buying new is for suckers.

I still have it as my mother also kept it since it was my first watch. Should I daily it?

>>12673370

Srsly I'm considering it

>>12678321
avoid stowa. nomos is considerable. they have pretty good design and overall build quality. dont expect em to hold value though.

>>12661453
>they are partially made by hand
HAHAHAHAHAHA

You meant:
>they are totally made by ass

>>12677681
granted, that ad is from '69 and $300 from then is around $2000 now. Still a helluva lot cheaper than what a gmt master goes for now.

>>12658043
pretty cool actually. like a slightly inferior skywalker

There's nothing wrong with Stowa...

nomos uses inhouse caliber. stowa eta. if thats not a problem stowa is fine for u.

>>12681220
yes, but Stowa made the design in the first place

rate my latest cop /g/ - coming Thursday and serviced 9 months ago by the previous owner. Movement is hand finished.

it's the first watch ever designed and produced entirely in China (they modified Swiss movements prior to this)

>>12681249

>>12676859
>is this including simple and cheap but respectable watches like Timex's and Casio's and Seiko 5's
Yes, definitely. I wouldn't exactly call a seiko 5, casio or timex a serious watch. A grand seiko would be a serious watch. Or a skx. Basically just any watch with an impact on horology as a whole. A Vostok Amphibia is imo a very serious watch. Because of it's place in horology. And you can cop that shit for 40 bucks.
But that said, your choices are definitely respectable. A Seiko 5 is probably worth more than a shitty fashion watch for double that. Kudos for not buying bullshit, anyway.

>>12676872
10/10 my guy

what do

>>12657329
Buy a Nomos instead of this shit.

Rate my watch, give me your opinions.

I bought it 2 years ago and costed me 400usd in the authorized Citizen store but I can't find it online or anything, must be a rare model I think. Well give me your opinions, oh, 100% japanese because it says "Made in Japan" not "Japan Movt"
