Chrome case, face from a gold tone one?
That better not be a stretchy bracelet.

Duuuude, we've been telling our customers for years now that the automatic Doxa's we sell have ETA movements, and I found out only yesterday they're actually all Sellitas.

>>14040333
Why’d you lie to me threeps-anon?

>>14040340
Literally no one knew. I only found out when I received a five year old Doxa for repair. I don't think even our contact at the importer knows.

Grandfather's old Hamilton automatic.

Pep-pep pieces are the best.

Friendly reminder that the most powerful man alive wears an IWC as his main watch now.

When did you realize that IWC makes the best watches in the world?

>>14040333
They're basically identical anyway

>>14040284
this looks bad

>>14040392
No surprise that the biggest crook in the world can afford a new watch for every day of the year.

>>14040402
He actually probably only has a handful of watches and tends to stick to a particular one for a long time before rotating it. He's been wearing the IWC for a while as his main piece. Probably almost 2 years.

>>14040547
Pls post more pics when it arrives anon

someone post the picture that's divided to watches (JLC, AP etc) and not watches (garb like rolex)

I once posted about buying shitters and unsurprisingly being disappointed by them. I either return the shitters or sell them at a tiny loss. Have an SKX009, black Seiko Monster, Autodromo Group B, and a Seiko Alpinist. The only one I really like is the SKX.

My dad has 2 Submariners and a GMT Master and I lust after that sweet Rolex goodness. I've got $70k in the bank saved for a house downpayment. Do I splurge and dip into my savings for a used Explorer? Do I stick with shitters, wait, and make it all the sweeter when I eventually get one?

>>14040679
Get the house first you mong. How do you think your dad was able to afford the Rolexes??

>>14040685
Married my rich step mom lol

>>14040679
Honestly dipping a few grand into 70k isn't that big a deal. If you get used or vintage you can get a great piece for about 2k or less and still have 68k available

>>14040546

>>14040694
Where am I supposed to find a used/vintage piece from somebody reputable for that price? Any Explorer I ever see is in the $4k range

>>14040679
Oh my fucking god how retarded are you. No. Cucks buy wristwatches. Chads buy houses and f91-w's.

What do yall niggas think about Fossil watches? Personally I like them bc theyre simple but nice

>>14040392
>powerful
>high pitched voice
>manlet

>>14040743
They made a Popeye watch I want but no chance I'm paying the $100 used price for one

>>14040679
Buy a replica to scratch the itch and buy a gen dial and hands set on chrono24, have a watchmaker replace it for you. You’ll basically have an indistinguishable replica. Get a house, after your finances are in order, buy a genuine explorer. Sell the gen dial and hands set back. Profit.

>>14040743
I have one. It's nothing special but it's reliable and i occasionally rotate my automatics for it just because it looks nice.

>>14040743
All fashion watches are the same. You buy them because they are cheap and you like how they look but they have zero worth when it comes to watchmaking.

>>14040778
yikes

I want a Rolex Submariner so fucking bad! Goddamn it! Why do I have to be a wage slave college student?
I want one so much it's driving me crazy.

So, why aren't the mechanical fags all over it? Magnets mean things don't touch which means no need for oil. And how come modern quartz doesn't use it?

>>14040679
If you end a used explorer, just sell everything except for skx and you should have close to enough. 2-3k isn't that horrible of a price. Alpenis alone sells for around $500 these days.
Also tuna.

>>14041090
Ask de bethune. Easier said than done, especially when quartz tech is dirt ass cheap these days.

>>14040881
Amphibias are the perfect shitter. Horrific lume, poor build quality, vodka-tier QC...and yet so lovable. The engineering and story of the Amphibia is impressive. Mine has been through absolute hell and back.

>>14041104
Why wife doesn't understand why I prefer to wear my Vostok when I have multiple other better watches, but I just love it.

>>14040734
Bobswatches is really good for used Rolex. Maybe not the cheapest option, but not unfairly overpriced either and reputable with a good selection and service. An Explorer is probably going to be at least in the $4k range unless you want a 1016 or something really old like that which is going to cost way more. A $2k Rolex is possible but kind of doubtful, it'll probably be in questionable condition or be missing the bracelet or have something else wrong with it.

I paid a little bit over $4k from that website for my 114270 a couple of years ago and it was in pretty much brand new condition and I was very happy with it.

Thinking about getting a watch, I think this looks nice.

Thoughts?

>>14041161
It's quartz. /wt/ hates quartz. Anything not mechanical is shit here.
The thing with Fossil is that it's not great, but it's not shit. It's just a quartz watch for fashion.

>>14041164
So it is poorly built? Does that mean it will break down easily?

>>14041171
It's just like any other fashion brand dogshit, $2 movements stuck in chink cases and sold for 100x what they're really worth. Find something on alibaba that looks the same for $5 and at least you'll only waste that much instead of the $300ish fossil asks.

>>14041171
It's quartz. That's it. They hate it because it's quartz.

Fossil is fine, they make decent stuff for the price. They'll last you quite a few years until the battery dies and it's more accurate than a mechanical. But again, quartz...

>>14041179
>Fossil is fine, they make decent stuff for the price.

>>14041181
Tell me one (1) thing wrong with a Fossil shitter other than that it's quartz
I'm waiting.

>>14041186
A much shorter list would be what's right with them, here it is in fact:

>>14041190
Didn't think so.
You just hate anything that isn't automatic because automatics give you cool-guy points to other autists

>>14041191
I don't care about quartz, you dumb nigga. There are numerous quartz movements actually worth a damn (seiko 9F, rolex 5035, beta 21, etc), but the $2 shit they slap into fossils aren't one of them.

>>14041090
There are still pivots, it doesn't eliminate the need for lubrication. Breguet has actually started to use magnetic pivots in their 10hz model (which don't require lubrication), but that's the only one I can think of.

I have a vintage dress watch and the spring bars touch the case when installed without a strap I cannot get a leather strap on it for the life of me.

My last jeweller managed to force it on there but I can't

What are my options? I can't get a strap on this shit

>>14041225
I don't understand what your trying to say, post apic without strap.

>>14041235
I can't get a strap on the watch because the spring bars (even the 1.2mm) ones touch the case when on the watch. No room for leather to sit

>>14041261
Literally how. Get an eulit panama in any case, it's super thin. If it doesn't seem to go through the spring bars, put the strap in place and then put the springbars in.

I had it. It was underwhelming desu. Felt similar quality to a Chris Ward. I think they spend to much on that complicated movement.

>>14041353
Are you fucking shitting me??
You flipped the MOTFM for this>>14041331????
Kill yourself ASAP you absolute tgv cocksucker.

>>14041353
Don't worry bru, I did exactly the same thing. I jumped on the MOTM bandwagon after having it so highly recommended to me.

Sold it like a year later because it felt like a poor man's daytona. The dial looks cheap and those hand look like they came out of a cereal box.

Bought a SMP and never looked back.

>>14041170
Fossil does have some mechanicals, but they're cheap miyota movements in disgusting skeletons.

Are watch enthusiasts mentally ill?

How can they spend thousands of thousands of dollars on an object whose purpose is already fulfilled by their phones? Even if you really have to have time on your wrist you can easily buy something under $100. The watch industry is probably a marketers wet dream and greatest victory. In all respects it should not exist except for easily led sheep who think they become an astronaut for wearing the same watch and that spending exorbitantly on outdated technology is a good buy.

>>14041379
It's a piece of jewelry, you're on a fashion board and you dont understand sinking money into jewlery?

Today I am wearing literal chink shit

Redpill me on bracelet link pins than have a tiny microscopic roll-pin on both ends. Either one of the roll-pins fell out or the guy who resized the bracelet misplaced it. Where the fuck do I get such a thing? pic unrelated

>>14041355
Yea and I made like £400 on it just by taking decent photos. I actually prefer the FOIS. Hand winding is annoying and I think it makes it less tooly.

>>14041360
Yea I wasn’t too impressed for the case desu and winding it was made difficult by the huge crown guards. It’s interesting that the SMP is smaller diameter that the MOTM.

>>14041403
Ok I found a pic of what I mean. There are tons of kits on ebay containing 6 million spring bars but where do you get these?

>>14040873
Too smol the and I say it as a wristlet.

>>14041433
I actually like smaller divers they're great. But after some thought I didn't pull the trigger because at 350$ it should at least come with a bracelet.

>>14041441
What’s the reference? Is the shroud plastic?

>>14041441
Normal solar tunas are pretty small already.

>>14041331
Based. Post wrist shots with your Explorer.

I'm guessing it's not normal for a bracelet to have a mixture of friction pins and cotter pins

>>14041467
I will in around 7 hours lad. Stay tuned.

What's the consensus on "smart" watches?

>>14041448
Stbr007. Yeah the shroud is plastic. It's a limited run so that might explain the price.

>>14041463
Looks good on you but I just personally prefer smaller watches. How's the strap? I heard the new ones are good.

>>14041479

What does your girlfriend think about your 34mm Bauhaus?

Thought so.

Can someone tell me what's up with my watch? Sometimes it barely gains a couple of seconds, sometimes it gains 9 in a day.

>>14041543
She likes it?

>>14041551
Not your mom.

>>14041403
Do you mean the pin and collar that go in between bracelet links? By far the easiest method would be to just take it to any half decent watch repair shop and they'll fix it in 2 seconds.

>>14041485
Future landfill.

>>14041379
I get your point, but let me explain. First of all, a watch is a piece of (((jew)))ellery, so it's inherently a waste of money. I don't get the point of "luxury" ones, but if I was rich I would probably own one in the mid-high tier brands such as Omega. As of right now I own 3 autos, 2 Seiko and a Tissot, and a quartz Citizen.

Anyway, What you should consider is this
1. Looking at your phone constantly makes you look like a huge manchild
2. Looking at your phone is a source of distraction, you just want to look at the time, but a notification pops up and you're distracted by pointless shit
3. Looking at your wrist is a much classier gesture than fishing for your phone in your pocket
4. A watch is a timeless symbol of class and refinement, it also represents punctuality and maybe heritage too. A phone is a consumer electronic piece of shit that is going to be obsolete and worthless in a year.

Now you may say, b-b-but smart watches? No fag, those are the worst. They are large and ugly as fuck, need daily recharging, and on top of being basically toys in terms of construction and looks, they also are a huge source of distraction and overall make you look like a social media addicted manchild fag who can't live without having his pointless normiebook notifications constantly on your wrist. Besides they need charging every 1-2 days, VS automatics which at worst need winding the crown for 5 seconds to recharge.

>>14041549
Stop wearing it and start testing it in the various positions (dial up, dial down, 3 up, 9 up) day to day and you'll see how they affect the watch

>>14041531
Nothing better than a Seiko diver for everyday wear.

>>14041637
>actually owning the soiboi Turtle instead of the proper one

>>14041587
Yeah thanks I've given up trying to find the parts online and will probably just take it somewhere that does batteries and resizings. CBF going all the way to a watchmaker

soviet craftsmanship coming in

Which is better?

>>14041653
The movement in the new one is better, I prefer the looks if the old one. That's why I got one before they vanished, plus the new one is around £1000 more expensive.

>>14041653
I'd never consider buying either. The one without the waves I guess?

I love this, hope to find one in may Japan trip

/wt/ irrationally hated it even when it was /g/. Not usually my cup of tea either, but suunto is alright. The smart watches require a phone very close by to be really useful, which I feel defeats some of the purpose of having it to begin with.

>>14041693
>implying everything I wrote isn't 100% true
That piece of shit is literally Tissot-tier.

>>14041666
>Over the years, the Petrodvorets Watch Factory has produced more than two dozen versions of Raketa movements. Some have been equipped with features such as automatic winding, calendars, 24-hour models for polar explorers, anti-magnetic watches (for use in case of nuclear attack), as well as watches for the military. Mechanical Raketa watches were exported to many Eastern Bloc and communist countries and are considered one of the most durable and reliable movements in the world. By the 1980s Raketa was producing five million watches a year.

>The Petrodvorets Watch Factory Raketa, is one of only five watch brands in the world producing their movements in-house from start to finish, including hairsprings and escapements. Most watch brands globally do not produce their own hairsprings, they generally order them from Nivarox, a subsidiary of Swatch Group. This enables the Russian military industry to be independent from western suppliers, especially for producing hairsprings needed in the military aviation industry.

Just bought it. 33 mm or so, Glycine, 1950's, steel, handwinding. Looks to be original. Very happy with it.

Identical. It's the one with the fixed lugs so 1 piece strap only. Limey bastard I bought it from used forgot to mention a tiny ding on the front corner

>>14041837
Not having to wind it every Monday is a nice bonus.

>>14041854
That thing is too big for you. Wristlets, will they ever learn?

>>14041864
Agreed, I get approx 65 hrs from this one and it still keeps less than 2 sec per day.
Weekend reserve is a must

>>14041876
Ain't me. That's why I said its identical to that one. At work and don't have it on me

>>14040679
I think given the price of a sub, your dad is mean not to give you one of them

>>14041854
That does look rad as shit but the fixed lugs are a deal breaker for me.
Also I really want the night stage.

>>14041882
Way to ruin a stunning looking watch with these 5 10 15 indexes straight out of a children's watch. Seriously I was already googling for this model, then I noticed the indexes. Sad!

>>14041876
That looks perfectly fine, lug is barely overhanging and I bet it's just the perspective and distortion from lens.

>>14041925
I like them. Its not like they don't appear on other high end popular watches, rolex datejust etc. Not everyone's thing though.

>>14041194
Fossil is at least a step up those other fashion brands as they at least do some unique designs

All of this is super accurate. Fumbling for your phone in your pocket so you can press buttons to read the time makes you look like a child. Relying on your phone like that in general is pathetic.

Completely and utterly useless when a phone does the same thing but better and a smart watch needs a phone to work anyway.
How addicted to this shit are we that we have a phone on our wrists to supplement the phone in our pockets?

Reduce the gold amount and add some military details or your family food ration is getting halved".

But if this thing was more than 38 mm, the proportions would suffer.

What do you expect for less than the price of a Sub? It's a $4k watch, not a $40k ALS

>>14042434
what about an Omega Co-axial movement lik ein the Seamaster 300 Master Co Axial or 2018 Seamaster?

>>14041515
Yes

>>14042445
It's a 7k watch stupid

>>14040385
My soviet brother

Speaking of less-than-sub money I finally received that 15k tax refund. When I was waiting for it I kinda wanted a sub but lately I've been asking what's the point? They're way overpriced there is probably something just as nice that's more reasonably priced.

as much as I love vintage watches that shit is just crusty my man

Seeing fucked up old watches makes me wonder when the 40 year old double penis are going to start deteriorating. They look new. for now.

>>14042480
I don't know, I love the wear aspect of the watch. It gives it a more gritty and "has been through a rough patch" lot.

All watches deserve love.

>>14042488
Love it. Beautiful.

>>14042502
I guess as long as you take good care of your items, it should be fine.

This soviet dealer that I get my watches from, has had them for more than 40+ years.

Some of them, without any signs of wear and tear.

You can go a long way by just taking care of it every two days.

what was this dude doing?

>>14042441
I like the lume.

>>14042519
Probably a watchmaker lul, or someone that is really into watches (or their own shit)

What are some sites to look up for inspiration on straps? I feel like there are many types and styles of strap I don't know.

>>14042475
Sub meaning Submariner?
Get a Tudor Black Bay or Pelagos. It's the same thing but cheaper

Rate my latest acquisition.

>>14042650
I hate it.

>>14042675
Stop bullying me.

>>14042677
I hate the watch not you, shitty vintage quartz isn't my thing.

>>14042641
I usually image search the watch and see what people have done with it, then I start searching for straps once I see something I like.

>>14042650
Do YOU like it? If so, good for you. I mean, for me it's a no but then it's not a total shitter either.

>>14040370
Jesus man get it professionally cleaned.

And you wish you were half the man he is, instead you're an incel jerking it to anime porn asking about shitty quartz watches on a Vietnamese papier-mâché forum wonder why no one will go out with you.
Really makes me think

One of these will be my next watch, but I'm not sure which yet.
Which one is the best and why? What are your reasons for or against?

>>14042965
The one on the left, it says Professional. The one on the right doesn't.

>>14042965
Between those two I'd rather the 300. Simpler is better, the vintage style is nice too.

>>14042965
Right. It’s cleaner and looks fantastic.
Same movement in these?

>>14043007
The left has the Caliber 8800 and the right has 8400.
I don't know enough about either of those to comment on which is better. All I know is they're not identical.

>>14042279
>>14041771

I'm on vacation in SE Asia and it's too hot for shoes.

>>14042965
I'd pick the one on the right.

Nothing against the Brosnan per se, but I just appreciate it more on an ironic level while the SM300 on the right is actually classy.

>>14043018
Only difference I can think of off the top of my head is that the 8800 has ball bearings in the rotor, while the 8400 has a Rolex-style jewel bushing.

>>14043050
It's a shame really, everything else besides the dial is well done.

>>14043050
All chronographs are shit memes.

What's wrong with an eta 2824?

>>14043056
Nothing, as long as they're not sold in multi-kilobuck watches that should really have a better movement in them to justify that price.

>>14042965
The right, I don't like the wavy dial on the new SMP300.

>>14043052
Agreed but since the dial is kind of the most important part (for first impressions) it's no wonder they got roasted online.

The perpetual isn't too bad.

>>14043054

>posts a picture of a watch 1% of the population can afford
Who cares?

>>14042965
Right, looks better in every aspect. Only con is that it doesn't have a date.

>>14043069
Didn't you say "ALL chronographs are shit memes"?

Join the discord

>>14043069
Guess I'm in the 1%.

>>14043079
thank you

>>14043080
Got a side shot of the thiccness?

>>14043079
Wow, we have a discord? Great.

>>14043069
Actually most of the top 1% can't afford it.

>>14043080
Based.
How much did it cost and what do you do to afford it?

I've come to the conclusion that big watches are for insecure beta cuck faggots who have to compensate for having such a smoll kok. Might sell my SARY055 and cop the ladies version of this Citizen.

>>14043082
Not to hand but I can tell you it's much thinner than the Datograph which is too thick IMO. Here's the back though.

I'm so glad we met on the /wd/ discord anon
Its such a beautiful day out too!

>>14043098
Fuck off pedo

>>14043098
Rule 2 will get you banned

>>14043094
I don't go over 40mm. Maybe 41 if the overall feel on the wrist is okay. Any bigger is overkill and 44mm+ watches are memes.

>>14043094
The ladies version will look silly on you unless you're an actual gril.

>>14043108
It's the same fucking watch except smaller. I see old boomers wearing small watches all the time and they look fine. Watches that young people would consider a ladies size.

>>14043110
Daddy's business trip gift?

>>14043118
The proportions are different, that's the important part. It looks like a ladies watch at a glance.

>>14043124
nah, I buy my own watches

>>14043125
Apart from the small crown which makes it look a bit feminine I don't see any difference.

>>14043137
My dad got me a Certina from Switzerland
Everyone told me it is a shitter

If you were to come into 10K in a short while, and were gonna get a Rolex for reasons, which would it be out of the following:
>Submariner
>Explorer II
>Oyster Perpetual

The Explorer II is basically my idea of the perfect watch, but I really like the other two as well.

>>14043058
Ok, what movement should a more expensive watch have and why is it better?

>>14043167
Submariner - sell it - buy 1000 Casio f-91ws

>>14043167
I'd get an oyster perpetual or an explorer 1. The explorer 2 looks retarded imo.

>>14043167
An OP like pic related.

>>14043167
>>14043175
I'd get a smol one in a ladies size to undercompensate for my HUGE KOK.

>>14043181
That one in 34mm is GOD TIER.

>>14043069
Is lawyeranon still here? This general was better when it was in /g/

>>14043175
I love the look of the Explorer 2. I like the look of the Sub but it's slightly different and the 24 hour hand and bezel is perfect for me.

>>14041355
i'd much rather have an el primero over the shitter that is the 1861.

all it has going for it is fake history about going to the moon and the movement finishing.

>>14043222
Omega is remaking the 321. Hope they make a 'vanilla' moonwatch with it.

>>14042233
devil diver. very nice anon
>>14041733
i'm a fan

>>14043227
i hope they do, and it drops the price of the pre-moons (but i seriously doubt that will happen)

>>14043167

Sub, I need watches that are rugged and I still like it more than the Explorer 2 because of the contrasts of the bezel insert. It would have to be a pre ceramic one though.

Stop me from buying this

This is super clean. Any alternative that is cheaper ?

What's this worth? I don't wear it

>>14041005
i used to have that exact shitter, it fell crystal down on a wood floor and never ticked again.

How does a Breitling Superocean 2 compare to a Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster?
It's cheaper than both

>>14043167
Pre-maxicase Sub

>>14043705
It's also worse than both, it's got a modified ETA 2824 in it. You get a better movement in a Steinhart.

>>14043175
this, get a 36mm Explorer 1 its THE perfect watch
