What do you think about this, /wt/? BOLDR Expedition Automatic? It seems pretty nice looking for a beater.

>>14254086
Movement shot.

Does anyone know any cheaper watches with a dial like this? Can be quartz.

>>14254137
Look for "tuxedo" dials

>>14254137
Looks like something The Penguin would wear.

>>14254139
The ones I found so far were expensive too :( Is it just me or is there not a lot of variety in budget watch designs?

I JUST WANT A FUCKING WATCH WITH TEMPERED BLUE HANDS, SILVER/ENAMEL DIAL AND ROMAN NUMERALS THAT ISN'T TRASH AND ISN'T GOING TO REQUIRE ME TO SELL MY HOUSE!

Uhhhh, what the fuck? I was expecting Philippe Dufour to have qt Swiss blonde daughters after reading about them in an interview...

Opinions on Watch Gang? I bought one month of black tier on a massive discount. I've heard a lot of shit about them.

>>14254137
Totally fucked it up with the date window and the olympic rings on the dial

I think some of the JDM Presage models might appeal to you

>>14254233

Nomos Ludwig. The dial is silver in the sun.

>>14254186

>>14254232

Honestly, i like having my watches backwards. Something about the crown digging into my wrist is nicer than digging into my hand

>>14254137
It's also called a panda dial, but only if you want a chronograph.
Citizen CA4074-55A

There are other citizen watches that look kind of like that around amazon and the like.

HKED ED63 cream/black (Warning, a full blown chinese watch. People tend to trust the guy because he started on watchuseek)

>>14254470
/wt/ is so hypocritical. if that had a longines logo on the dial you would be all over that shit.

>>14254470
Let's make a precious, intricate machine, declaring our utter horological mastery.

Now let's make it look like that Swatch I had when I was nine years old.

What Swatch comes with a dial that has Grand Feu cloisonné enamel over hand-executed guilloché?

>>14254520

>>14254520
Switch's bird watch is legit better.

And it's only $40 as opposed to $40,000.

>>14254520
It's bird o'clock, motherfuckers!

>>14254525
Jesus that bird looks retarded. Are you sure that's a genuine Patek and not a 6k Patek?

>>14254526
>>14254530
First, not an enamel dial and secondly, it doesn't have a minute repeater movement inside.

>>14254536
>It's missing critical 19th century technology

>>14254525
y i k e s

look at those lines, is this watch for a Parkinsons charity or something?


just buy a longines m8 this is trash

It's ladies' minute-repeater you plebeians.

>>14254530
Swatch's ROCKIN' ROOSTER watch is better than the Toucan one tbqh.

>>14254473
That's really nice.

>>14254540
>First, the white or yellow gold dial plate was hand-guilloched with a fine panier or basket-weave pattern. Next, the enameler outlined the graceful picture of the bird with outspread wings and the branch, using 58 cm of gold wire (0.32 g) measuring 0.07 x 0.4 mm in crosssection. He then brought the scene to life with a palette of transparent, opaque and opalescent enamels in 21 colors. Each dial required 10 firings at a temperature of approximately 750°C.


I'd like to see you guys attempt to create this dial.

>>14254540
Did they choose to make the birds look ridiculous or do they assume all their clients have poor eyesight, hence the need for a minute repeater

>>14254544
You left out the part where they talk about the dial artist's Parkinson's.

Is Vacheron dead?

>>14254555
>dead

>>14254555
I will never understand paying $25,000 for a watch with only a date complication.

Just buy a fucking Seiko.

>>14254555
Yeah, died in '96.
Richemont has a subsidiary coincidentally called Vacheron Constantin. I think they make smartphone covers or something.

>>14254557
Twin-beat. 65 days of pr. “Dead”

>>14254555
>>14254557

why dont these watches have a bird on the dial?

>>14254520
heres a really good example of art on a watch. looks so much better than that PUTEK

w2c watch with a North American Kingfisher on the dail?

needs perpetual calender and minute repeater with gyro tourbillon.

>>14254558
If all you care about is complications just buy a dogshit Chinese tourbillon watch for under $1000 and leave watches forever. I honestly hope this is bait.

Looks like the discord niggers are shitting up the thread

Why would you wear anything else!

>>14254590
Why would I wear a Sub homage with a fake jubilee bracelet?

wowie this watch is cool

Thank you

>>14254597
Bands classic, watch look leaves something to be desired.

My favorite thing about watches is getting gifted old family watches. Just picked up a Dakota watch from probably the 80s if not the 70s with a nice beat to shit leather band for it. Put a new battery in it and the thing works.

the one from my post is available from the store
https://store.united-arrows.co.jp/shop/by/goods.html?gid=38127856

otherwise theres a good amount on ebay. The eco drive models can be found easily new for real cheap and the automatics are usually used. Theres some limited automatic models on ebay (fugu) available brand new, but theyre over priced ATM.

btw the automatic divers are only the start in the promaster line. picrel is god tier 1 watch collection

Why is this thread obsessed with longines? I’m surprised Hamilton isn’t mentioned more

>>14255068
Top Söyboy watch.

i want something disgustingly gaudy but still decent, just for fun. a shameless watch like a Hublot Big Bang or RO Offshore but no more than 1k USD since it's not a truly serious buy

does such a watch exist?

>>14255096
A vintage Galoob Army Gear Orologio, I'm not sure if you'll find it for less than 1k though.

>>14252454
>>14252418
Make it less obvious when you samefag. I'm not rich but I work hard and make above 100k. It's really not that hard to do.

But by all means if you wanna keep buying 25 seikos a year instead of owning a real timepiece go ahead.

Get that crystal polished ffs, it’s acrylic. You must be a big girl, I think I have even thinner wrists. Maybe it’s just an optical illusion due to the tiny watch.

Explorer or Oyster Perpetual?

>>14255232
OP if only considering new models, 14270 explorer if considering used.

>>14255232
What if?

Has anyone except Hydroconquet nitwit actually FALLEN for the Longines meme?

What's actually wrong with it though? It looks great.

Why do European luxury watchmakers not give two shits about external finishing?

>>14255369
Just people getting mad because some parts made in China. It does keep time great and I love it. Maybe a bit over priced but meh, what isn't?

Archie spent 50k on watches and has one of the most boring unimaginative collections of all time.

>shitloads of ugly Rolexes, the models nobody wants like a fucking two tone Daytona with exotic dial
>tiny outdated Patek that looks like a girls watch on his fat arms

What a loser.

>>14255232
114270 Explorer I or 16200 Datejust with the smooth bezel, batons, and oyster bracelet.

>>14255369
Besides the comedically cheap looking external finishing for the price? Or that the Swatch Group deliberately makes all Longines look shittier than they should since the brand exists to remind buyers they should want an Omega instead? Or that the watches are priced at 2x - 3x of a Tissot or Hamilton despite not being any better quality?

>>14255370
Swiss. You mean Swiss. There are German watchmakers that probably do give two shits about external finishing.

>>14255432
They sell around the same chf volume of Longines as they do Omega. Longines is a huge income source for Swatch.

>>14255432
Dude are you autistic.

>>14255399
>some parts made in China.
Up to 40% of the VALUE of the movement can be chinese so technically a movement can use 100% chinese parts say, $400 worth but was assembled and finished in switzerland using say, $600 worth of labor. That would still meet the 60% VALUE swiss made requirement.

>>14255469
That's fine by me. No manufacturers will ever disclose full parts breakdown. Any new watch under 3k will always have some parts bulk sourced from the Orient. The fact remains that the watch does + 1 second per day out of the box and looks great. All I need really!

>>14255482

>>14255485
>hmm, how to reply to his comment.... nope I got nothing to say to that.

I'LL POST A FROG INSTEAD

>>14255494

>>14255452
I’m not him and not AGAINST Longines but he has a point about the finishing of the watches.a 600-1000 EUR Tissot or Hamilton has similar or better finishing than a Longines that’s 2-3x the price.
Also they do manage to ruin nice design with an unfortunate fuck up, such as the crown shoulders on their Sub replicas.
I’d rather buy 2 Tissot instead of a Longines, but 1 Omega instead of 2 Longines.

>>14255510
Of course the (((swiss))) watch industry bootlicker getstriggered by some pictures. Not a surprise here.

>>14255506
I don't see how the finishing is any better. Longines movements look better finished to my eyes too. Reviews of their watches don't appear to show poor finish, reliability or poor accuracy. >>14255361 has a 3.9mm 2892 movement in a <10mm case in a style you cannot get from either Tissot or Hamilton.

>>14255546
Pay anymore than $50 for a watch and you are being ripped off. Its just up to you to decide how much you are going to be ripped off by.

Guys, if the alloys used to make the steel for your Swiss watch aren’t sourced from Switzerland, you’re being scammed! If it’s not Swiss down to the very last molecule, it’s a scam!

>>14255555
>Pay anymore than $50 for a watch and you are being ripped off. Its just up to you to decide how much you are going to be ripped off by.
HOLY FIVE QUINTS
IT IS THE TRUTH OF GOD

>>14255555
Yeah, now you are moving the goalposts, first you talked about thousand dollar watches now it's 50. Way to go, cuck.
But after the magic number of 3K, which you decided you are suddenly only paying for the manufacturing, because these companies do no expensive marketing, which you finance.
>the state of buypigs and their coping mechanisms

>>14255452
Yes. Hence I actually care about the manufacturing quality, craftsmanship, and technical merits of watches rather than just their brand names and aesthetics.

Niggers, it’s a Longines, not Haute Horlogerie.

>>14255587
>The state of frog posters and their lack of reading comprehension ability.

>>14255599
I thought those were interchangeable terms?

>>14255469
This really has nothing to do with longines. You just described what the "swiss made" trade mark means

>>14255433
But that pic is a Lange, a German brand.

Which Watch brands have the best / most cringe brand ambassadors?

Tudor has to be one of the worst with Beckham and Gaga right?

>>14255370
>External
Shows non-visible, hidden backside of the hand.

>>14255599
its Haute HOROLOGY Idiot

>>14255625
That's the first time I've ever seen a picture showing a corner cut by Lange. I just assumed the pic was of a Swiss brand, because I'd never seen anything like that about Lange before. Disappointing.

>>14255621
Not him, but it has a lot to do with Longines because Longines and all the other "Swiss" watchmakers use movements purchased from ETA or Sellita, which allows their watches to be less than 50% made in Switzerland and still claim to be "Swiss Made" due to a loophole in the regulations that treats a Sellita sw200 that was made 60% in Switzerland, as 100% Swiss cost for the purchasing watchmaker.

Companies that use true in-house movements cannot exploit that same loophole.

>>14255606
Keep the swiss watch industry running, piggy goy. lol

>>14255638
Hands were never a factor. Even Dufour doesn’t care about them.

>>14255635
In watches "external" finishing refers to the case, dial, hands, indices, bracelet as opposed to the movement. This is so because traditionally, "finishing" in horology is assumed to refer to movement finishing.

>>14255637
Is this bait?

>>14255647
Everyone uses eta and sellita, again this is nothing specific to longines

Oh yeah, obviously you should be collecting unaffordable watches instead. In fact, you should go into debt in order to buy a watch.

>>14255654
They should be.
They're a vital and very visibly prominent part of the watch.
R.W. Smith makes them entirely by hand.

>>14255947
or maybe not get into watches in the first place? sorry, some hobbies aren't meant to be enjoyed by everyone

Why don't more watches come qith quixk release straps? Even a $30 timex comes with one.

>>14255723
>>14255715
>>14255689
Rationalize all you want, when the light hits those hand edges, the roughness is very obvious from the dappled reflections, even from arm's length.

If you're paying anything close to or above 5k for a watch, things like rough hand edges are inexcusable.

>>14255947
What's the point of engaging in a hobby you can't afford? "Affordable watch" is a category, it basically means sub-$1k worthless crap.

>>14255957

>>14256028
I'm confidently middle class. Such a watch would be about half a months pay for me. Would it just look too rich especially since my office is fairly casual?

>>14256020
Yeah, if you can't afford a modern Rolex don't even try.

There's a seller on ebay selling brand new ones (they have both blue and black dials) for like 250 (on a rubber strap) and 295 (on a bracelet). IMO that's not really bad considering the prices I'm seeing for other sellers/sites

There's some cheap ones being sold used, just make sure to do your due diligence and check that everything's in order

>>14254918

>>14256139

You still need a crown to set it retard

>>14256120
The really shocking thing is that Omega haven't released an Event Horizon Special Edition

>>14256156
Don't rule it out yet. If they'll do an ultra man special they'll do anything.

Are smartwatches effay?

>>14256135
No problem anon. I'm just here to spread the word of the basedmaster

>>14256139
That's not a pusher it's the crown! It's on the left side so it stays out of the way. Looks weird at first but it's actually nice. Does make it annoying to adjust/wind while on the wrist.


I'll also point out that these watches don't hack, which is a bit annoying but they do hand wind.

>>14256172
>it's the crown
How are you supposed to twist that it's smooth.

>>14256179
Its not actually smooth, it just looks that way in the picture. As a matter of fact, this was has the easiest crown to get a grip of.

Here's a better pic of the crown.

>>14256192
That's not the same watch it's not even close.

>>14256192

>>14256215
>What should I do /wt/?
Stop worshiping the speedmaster.

Imagine thinking perlage and geneva striping makes your shitty mechanical watch worth covetting. These finishings are year 1 watch making school techniques. If you're gonna go swiss at least go for one of the more special brands like MB&F. If you have the money for haute horology and are considering gay swiss shit over the based jap Grand Seiko you have fucking rocks in your head. KYS.

>>14256217
I mean every watch from that price tier is more or less the same. Or are you saying that you can get the same for less money?

>>14256215
2019 is the 50th anniversary of the 'moon landing' how many years need to pass before people start to question whether it happened at all? 75 years? If 100 years pass and man has still not returned to the moon will they begin to doubt?

>>14256200
>>14256202
Are you trolling? If so you got me bud. Here's a picture from the same ebay listing as the one I originally posted

>>14256237
It's a fact that you can get the same for less money. The speedmaster is a cam actuated chronograph with an easily scratched crystal and almost zero water resistance. You can get a column wheel chrono with a sapphire crystal and water resistance for less money.

>>14256241
It's obviously not the same watch. The pic you posted has almost no smooth area.

>>14256249
If I ever see someone wearing on of these while I'm wearing my normie green alpinist I'll sudoku on the spot.

>>14256252
>You can get a column wheel chrono with a sapphire crystal and water resistance for less money.
Where?

>>14256252
>It's obviously not the same watch. The pic you posted has almost no smooth area.

Nice thanks for confirming the troll

>>14256265
The 6s family (6s28, 6s78 6s37) are column wheel chronos with sapphire and water resistance for 1k give or take.

>>14256268
Go fuck yourself nigger that's not the same crown

>>14256279
Lmao dude look at the hands and indices. The "Pepsi" one I just posted is a different model. Nice try though you troll.

>>14256290
>you troll
Projecting too hard.

>>14256279
Seiko has never made a good looking chronograph.

>>14256302
But they copied the omega speedmaster so you're saying the speedmaster doesn't look good?

>>14256279
>The 6s family (6s28, 6s78 6s37) are column wheel chronos with sapphire and water resistance for 1k give or take.

Wearing my genuine 6k patek stunner. Archie recommendet me this cool website that also has a mumbai office.

>>14256385
So because Royal Oak knockoffs look like shit that means the AP RO looks like shit as well? You Seiko posters get more incoherent by the day.

I'm guessing it's safe to assume that the amazon seller with seagull 1963's is probably a bullshit artist even though he has a 100% rating?

Can you buy an AP Royal Oak three hander or are they the same retarded shit as Rolex where they wont sell you one?

>>14256422
Read all the ratings and be sure it doesnt seem like asiana wrote them. Under 50 ratings is suspect for bots/paid reviews

>>14256444
Yep, only 9. What a shame.

>>14256425
They’ll sell you one. For whatever reason AP hasn’t fallen into the “undersupply steel sportswatches” meme like Patek and Rolex.

What is recommended for babbys first real watch? I want an automatic, no quartz.

>>14256459
Obviously a 40 year old used rolex from ebay

>>14256456
So I could go into an AP stealer tomorrow morning, ask to buy pic related and they'd let me rather than ask me to leave?

>>14256425
It's the 15202ST they won't sell you unless you already own other APs. Any asshole with around $20k can walk out with a 15400 though.

>>14256471
It's got no seconds hand so it's a fucking shitter.

>>14256422
Hold it, have you considered HKED's 1963?

This looks legit right? Watches are unisex.

Yeah I have, it's just that I have an amazon store card and could have thrown the cost onto that.

love my seiko alpinist but I find it hard to match it with my outfits

>>14256486
I didn't even know Amazon displayed seagull 1963's. Who are the sellers?

>>14256469
Yes they’d sell you one to the best of my knowledge. If they won’t sell you one in steel they’d definitely sell you one in gold. But as the other anon said, AFAIK it’s only the 15202ST they are reluctant to sell to randoms. Even then if you showed up ready to drop $20k+ I think they wouldn’t turn you down.

>>14254541

>>14256494
It''s just one store called "infinite time on line"

Slow down fucker I have money to throw away but I'm not Archie.

>>14256495
>>14256499
After looking into it some I’m wrong about the 15202ST. There’s currently a 6+ month waiting list to get one. You could get a 15400 though just walking in. They’re even available grey market, so if you aren’t interested in the 15202 you should have no problems.

>>14256497
Never heard of them bro. I'd avoid it.

>>14256509
Yeah I'm not, if I get any I'd get the one from HKED, I never really liked the commiestar on the seagull one anyway.

>>14256512
Thumbs up bro, I fucking love mine.

>>14256521
Does this make handle the whole "seagulls will explode if you even bump them the wrong way" thing

>>14254078
Seiko snkl47

>>14256525
Nope. If you drop it it's dead forever. But they will accept it back if it's busted for no reason at a one year warranty.

Forums are brimming with reports of people praising the customer service, sending in broken ones and getting it repaired. Also I think they cover shipping.

>>14256505
Jeez, why are people with money actually so submissive?
If i would ever be retarded enough to pay 20K+ on some watch, they better sell me whatever model i want and suck my dick afterwards.
>m-muh demand is higher than supply

No it's not. With their money they could ramp up production. But they won't because the goy needs to be kept at a short leash.
Only the stuff that seems hard to get will make the goy lust even more for it.

posting best Promaster. full lume is best lume.

>>14256551
Love it. Wish more people here would uncuck themselves from being brand hoes and just wear whatever they like.
This gaudy thing is great in my book.

>>14256551
If I saw you wearing that I'd stab you in the kidneys.

I might be adding a quick reccomended strap makers guide to the poor faggot guide, throw me some names you think deserves to be on it

>>14256584
Fullmosa USA on amazon, I have one of their calf leather ones and I love it.

>>14256551
Here's my fun take on trashy mods.
Spacers, baby. No joke, i wear it that way and nobody actually notices. Only some friends that pay attention to my watches. They think it's fun.

>>14256595
that actually looks cool though

>>14256593
Will do, you have any pics?

>>14256599
I can get one if you gimme like 5 minutes, I'll try to think of a nice way to stand it up, I have skeleton wrists

>>14256071
I'm also wearing my Semenmaster, no current pic though.

>>14256599
Will either of these work?

Is AP and VC DEAD?

>>14256637
this is also the image of the same strap that they have on their storefront, they come in multiple colors and styles though.

I’ve had two omegas and a Rolex and this is my favourite watch.
It’s retarded to spend more than £1000 on a watch unless you have £500,000+ equity.

>>14256069
This story just made my day.

>>14256550
Pretty much everyone who is actually into watches agrees with you. There have been hundreds of articles written in the last 5 years about how much horseshit it is that these high end brands artificially throttle supply. Pretty much everyone acknowledges the fact that steel PP Nautiluses going for $60k secondhand is an absurdist joke.

>>14256584
Obviously there's Hirsch, DiModell, Colareb, Hadley Roma and Eulit (especially their perlon from experience, I've got each of the three different kinds), but I'd highly recommend Two Stitch Straps, I've had mine for a year and I love it.

>>14256597
Thank you. Yeah, it was my grandpas bracelet he had on some cheap watch. I found it and wanted to use it the endlinks were bent, had to thorow them away. A bit later i found these cylinders and they fit perfectly.

100th anniversary of Bauhaus, post some.

>>14256682
Ah yes, i remember you from some threads ago, where you said that it's absurd how much you like the citizen.
I can relate. I think it's just fatigue of the same watches over and over. We get quite the exposure in these threads and get tired of it sometimes. And then we find something new. Of course it still needs to look good to be liked. Which this watch does.

>>14256735
Ah, thank god. It's good to see that people see thru the bullshit. Well, it feels good to know that some are slowly waking up.

>>14256735
This is why Seiko, Nomos, and Rolex are great for the dollar, they spend their money on machines to pump put watches faster.

Same with the poorfag brands.

>>14255096
no there is nothing cool for that price, everything that is 1k and under fucking sucks and its all nasty bullshit that will be more expensive to fix than it is to replace

>>14256346
awesome, if phatso gets on the livestream tonight and does his usual begaroonie routine i think i'll flick him 5 bucks to get drunk and dance for nickels like a hobo monkey turdarooni lmao

>not understanding that he made a joke about longines

Jeez, he made it so obvious, you slow retard.

>>14256900
Jokes aside, i think archie is a con artist. All this whining about being broke all the time and still buying all kinds of luxury trash. I think he has more money than we think. I wouldn't trust this manipulative shithead.

At least i hope he has money, and is not living some delusion and going more and more into debt.

>>14256584
Fluco and Rios1931 are two high quality German strap makers and not pricey at all.

>>14256346
i haven't watched this fat idiot for a long time until just now
he seems 100% more annoying than ever
and i used to actually like him

So the watch isn't real?

>Italian strap made from real high quality torn-off face skin

>>14256488
Hey, this reminds me, I actually found a seller who has the Pulsar PJN299X1/PJN305X1 in stock. Should I cop, or should I go for the 3mm larger and crown guarded PM3129X1?

I like the chrono disposition on the newer watch more, however Im starting to get a liking for smaller diameter watches.

>>14257794
For comparison, the newer 43mm version with crown guard and better spacing.

>>14257803
vs. the old style at 39mm, different dial spacing, bezel and no crown guard. Classic RAF aesthetics.

Both come out at about the same price.

What did he mean by this?

>>14256940
>At least i hope he has money, and is not living some delusion and going more and more into debt.
He has no drapes and firesaled his entire collection to pay for a couple Rolexes and a Patek service.

>buying a PP when you can't afford the service without selling a watch

>>14257908
Oh boy, that is just retarded. Nice one arch....
He shoudl just stop and get some help.
