It must be cool to have no sense of monetary value.

Thank you for your input

what are you doing on a fashion forum?

>paying thousands for a watch

Hey boyos

thoughts on my new timepiece?

Pathetic bumps tudorfag

>>14171124
and panerai sits where on this graph?

>>14171196
Jewish furniture kek

>>14171212
Mid-tier luxury watches. Wristlets will disagree but they make good watches with in house movements and top tier finishing for the price range. Additionally they still make rugged resistant watches.

>>14171633
Can’t believe I wasted my time watching that. So Panerai problems are:
>famous people wear them
>counterfeits exist
>ETA/unfinished movements which no longer applies to most of their offerings
What exactly is your point?

>>14171657
Panerais are super easy to fake on a very convincing level because their build quality is not much better than some noob sweat shop in Vietnam has.

Also imagine buying an Italian watch.. This is not how things are supposed to be in life.

>>14171124
Fixed.

>>14171884
Rolex truly is the Chad watch brand.

>>14171149
Just say that you want to flex on people, faggot.
Stop larping about "jewelry" and "Horology".

>>14171682
>Panerais are super easy to fake on a very convincing level because their build quality is not much better than some noob sweat shop in Vietnam has.
That’s just not true. Convincing to some rube who has never handled one in person perhaps. Their dial finishing is top notch. It’s not easy to fake their matte texture with a sandwich dial and monster lume. If you disagree feel free to post your Panerai.

>>14171884
So what brand do I buy in the 1000 dollar range that singals "I am a poorfag but at least I'm not retarded"

>>14172002
Oris.

>>14171196
What's the brand?

>>14171967
Yeah, that's why pawn shops and pre-owned watch dealers won't take them without full paperwork, since those massive shitters are so goddamn easy to fake. Jesus, imaging defending Panerai of all fucking brands. Fuck off, shitter shill.

>>14171139
Imagine having this much cope.

If it makes you feel any better you do get a huge dopamine rush when people are shocked you have a thousand dollar watch.

>>14172411
This

I need this watch, 36mm... it was designed for my bitch wrists

>>14172845
Buy it. Contrary to the OP image, the 500-3000 section is really where the good watches are. They know this which is why this price point gets the saltiest comment. ETA 2892a2 matches anything from rolex performance wise and is found in watches starting at 1500. The truth is, pay more than 3000 for a luxury watch and you are doing nothing more than funding the celeb ambassadors.

small seiko dive watch I can use for survival with webbed band. does this exist? need a cheap used one. I am wristlet

>>14172900
Too bad the 36mm was released by the end of last year and the retail price is still high at 2100€ while you can get the fuckhuge 42mm versión for 1300€ from the grey market dealers. I will wait.

Reminder that this is a troll thread split created by Tudorfag. Here's the real thread:

Fuck off, this is the first informative thread for months. I bet you are the tudorfag himself.

>>14172954
Looks cheap, I would stay away from cheap swiss quartz

Redpill me on the Air King, and how it compares to other basic Rolexs?

>>14173010
Modern air-king is shit while the old ones are perfect dressier Rolexes.

>>14173013
Yeah I'm looking vintage (well 97 if that counts).

Looks pretty sharp.

>>14173017
Fuck, it's 34mm.

Seriously, why the fuck do you guys care about lume? I’ve owned watches most of my life and maybe used lume once or twice. Most of the time my watch is under a sleeve and so won’t get light charged and surely you guys have clocks for night time when you’re in bed?

>>14173031
>wears a watch
>only to hide it under a sleeve

got a massive discount on this and i dont have anyone to show it so i post here

>>14173031
It is a meme. I prefer highly reflective rhodium plated hands that will catch the smallest amount of light. Only time I ever need to know the time in total darkness is when night hunting and I have my Suunto Core for that.

>>14173017
>>14173021
that is the traditional size
small for today especially if you have big wrists

>>14172934

>>14173039
>50mm "dress" watch
>shitty applied text and markers, straight from the sketchiest sweatshops of China
>crown is way too small
>non proper croc-grain calf strap

Now I have seen everything I suppose.

>>14173040
This
People don't realize how little light they need to actually tell the time. Lume is only useful in pitch black and only if you have activated it prior.

>>14173076
Should add that the only real world application for lume I would see is diving, but no one here ever does that.

>>14171124
>Should I buy this MVMT / DW / *Fashion brand* watch?
>> Yes

Yeap, seems fine to me.

>>14173031
>I never leave my basement

>>14173094
>I only go out in the night

>>14173076
>Lume is only useful in pitch black and only if you have activated it prior.
Depends on the lume. The lume on newer Seiko dive watches is so long lasting that I can read the time on this watch in total darkness 7 hours after it was exposed to light, no problem. And that's without deliberately charging it before taking it off for the night.

>>14173109
You look fucking obese. What the fuck do you eat? Fucking Amerimutts.

>>14173063
Haha yeah, guess I should have expected to get roasted. Anyways, I got it for around 50£, not really too concerned about the quality - the blue is really nice and goes well with a lot of my clothes.

The leather strap is trash though, it's already gotten scratched and I've only worn it for a week

Got pic related as a gift for my mum a couple days back tho, did I fuck up there as well?

>>14173120
That is a straight up ladies watch..

>>14173109
Yes, you Seiko Solar Tuna is goat, now please stop swinging your dick around.
Btw where you been lately?

>>14173124
Well, my mum is a lady so I sure hope so

>>14173124
Whoops, I read "from my mum"
Sorry about that, it looks like a nice watch for her.

>>14173120
>50£

Come one now you fucking zoomer. It's £50.

>>14173137
Oh yeah, back home we always write 20rf (local currency) so I always forget it's reversed in the west.

>>14173157
You from the Maldives?

>>14173163
Yeah, studying in the UK atm tho

>>14173167
Your family doesn't deserve owning Swiss watches for what your people did to the Swiss.

>>14173039
Bwahhha. I bet you dream in white bmws don't you?

>>14173177
And which country are you from exactly?

>>14171139
google horology pleb

>>14173167
Why are you all sexually aggressive towards women?

>>14173177
Implying he could ever afford a Swiss watch

>>14173179
Doesn’t matter you unapologetic cunt.

>>14173177
I have no idea what you're talking about, please elaborate - google didn't really turn anything up

>>14173181
I'm personally not, but in most men from here it comes from a long tradition of incredible amounts of sexual activity starting from a young age - that, and there's basically nothing to do except fuck if you're virtually stranded on a desert island.

>>14173187
Cocksucker.

Anons please, dont buy japanese watches if you’re over 16 or live in a third world country. Watches are jewelry and the traditional meme luxury country is Switzerland, all normies know this. If you have less than $500 for a watch, buy an apple watch, it will be far more age appropiate and aesthethic than the other trash people post on this thread. You’ll have to charge it every night but at least you wont lose much money when you get tired of it in 2 years. If you are +30, buy a Tag Aquaracer or Carrera on the grey market. Tag Heuer is included in the white paper on fine watchmaking as an historic maison and are only a step above of Longines in price. If you have the cash and the age to pull a Rolex, get the steel sports one you like more, you’ll love it and yours kids too when they’ll sell it to buy the last iphone, some clothes and a trip when you’re dead.

>>14173194
Oh yeah, that was disgusting. What's worse is how that had been going on for years and years and actually still goes on today - and the "ceremony" that they were holding isn't even a real thing, it's just a fucking cashgrab made up for profit

>>14173202
>buy a tag
If anything before that wasn’t enough for me to stop reading, that was the nail in the coffin.

>>14173126
Been too busy to post much and the threads have been a continuing dumpster fire.

Also, as I understand it Seiko's been using this upgraded lume on all their newer divers. I'm not exactly sure when the new formula was introduced, but the lume on this solar tuna is dramatically better than on the SKX I have. Pic related is from a forum showing a side by side comparison of Lumibrite V1 vs V2

>>14173202
based and repilled

>>14173202
Tag >> overpriced, oversized gaudy boomer junk.

At least longines watches look nice

Which is the smallest ashtray style Seiko diver? Wish I could try one on. Maybe I’ll find one on holiday in Hong Kong in April...

>>14173219
>the threads have been a continuing dumpster fire
So it's business as usual

post your 809's

>>14173264
Probably the solar ones like here: >>14173109
i.e. the SNE497 or SNE498.

They're like 1mm smaller and thinner than the first "real" tunas: the SBBN031/033 etc (which are a massive step above the solar SNE tunas in many ways).

>>14173264
The Seiko STBR models are 42.7mm wide to the outside of the shroud and 11.5mm thick. They are the smallest shrouded Seiko models.

>>14173292
The STBRs are much smaller than the SNE49x solar tunas, and they are 2mm less in diameter and 2.7mm less in thickness than the SBBN031/033.

The SBBN models were specially designed for saturation divers working in harsh conditions and have steel shrouds, a higher torque, more shock resistant jeweled quartz movement, and a very good ratcheting clasp on the 031.

That said, the solar tunas are less than half the price and you can get an aftermarket steel shroud for them.

>>14173219
>as I understand it Seiko's been using this upgraded lume on all their newer divers
Yes, but it's not the same across the different models.

The limited edition S23626 (picrel) for instance is a top-of-the-line Tuna that costs around 2.3k, but the lume on it is not as strong as the "regular" 300m, 600m or 1000m Tunas because the lume plots are somewhat smaller and the application is somewhat shallower.

On the 300m Tunas for instance, the lume is laid into deep, round dial recesses.
The Tunas with this application give the absolute best lume in the entire Seiko lineup.

>>14173299
To be more clear, the sizes of the various shrouded quart Seiko divers is:

SBBN031/033
Diameter: 48mm
Thickness: 14.7mm

SNE49x
Diameter: 46.7mm (45.x if you upgrade to a steel shroud)
Thickness: 12mm

STBR
Diameter: 42.7mm
Thickness: 11.5mm

>>14173299
>The STBRs are much smaller than the SNE49x solar tunas
I wasn't even aware of these.

Are these measurements correct, measured without the shroud? They're 3mm smaller than even the SNE49x Tunas.
They must wear really tiny.

>>14173291
Why did you cut yourself anon? ;_;

>>14173327
i got stabbed lol

>>14173328
By a nigger?

>>14173328
You are a big guy, hope you beat the crap out of the individual trying to steal your Seiko.

>>14173337
for ((you))

>>14173341
uuuu

>>14173303
Really interested in the stbr models but they're a bit expensive for what they are. Why are sne498s so cheap compared to other models?

>>14173392
because of the movement obviously

>>14173392
I think all the STBRs are limited editions and Japan only releases.

>>14173495
That doesn't make sense as the SNE and STBR models just use different sizes of similar solar quartz movements.

>>14173120
>>14173039
What is this hairy stick there

Is there a sub $500 watch with a peseux 7001 movement?

>>14172411
Autism. Pretty embarrassing for you to cherry pick an old utilitarian movement to try and prove your point when they have long since moved to in house manufacturing and design.

>>14173653
mini rotors are so fucking dumb

yes, I know patek nautilus has them too, but that doesn't make it a good design.

>>14173657
I’ll forward your criticism to Patek headquarters

>>14173657
Why don't you like them? They are great because they don't block too much of the movement. I love mini rotors, I wish more made their movements with mini rotors.

>>14173667
They know and they don't care.

The compromise on the rotor in order to make the case thinner.

>>14173670
They are not as effective as larger rotors, which means that they can, with a sedentary lifestyle, lead to not providing enough energy to keep the watch wound.

>>14173657
Minirotors on dress watches are god tier, for other watches I agree they are dumb

>>14173688
Might as well just have a manual wind movement for a dress watch rather than compromising on a rotor. Full sized rotors can be fine on dress watches too. Look at the Urban Jürgensen Big 8 for example.

>>14173696

>>14173696
A rotor can indeed be beautiful

Roast the latest buy

>>14173743
I don't mind it.

Does anyone have a method to quickly soften up a new leather watch band? My new one is stiff as fuck

>>14173784
Hold it taut between your hands and rub it on the edge of a table back and forth.

I hope that makes sense

>>14173784
Coil it tightly and put it under the weight of a heavy book, such that the book holds it coiled.

Thinking of getting polar dial explorer II next, I want something white.

>>14173802
It's your money and you can do what you want, but I'd rather get a white dial Milgauss or Datejust over and Explorer II.

>>14173743
That ain't bad

>>14173784
Get a stand and let it sit in the stand for a while

What a re your experiences on suunto watches?

>>14173802
Get the DJ desu

>>14173802
Why not get a non-Chinese Submariner first?

>>14174330
I dont have 8k

>>14173808
>>14173975
I really like the dj41 silver too

>>14173119

Stop insulting him and we won't have any problems.

>>14173802
Its a great looking watch man. don't let the rolex haters get to you
