>>14317646
Check out Sinn, Stowa, Laco, Archimede and a few others that do that style flieger. Most have good mechanical ones for 1k or less.
I'm looking to pick up a Stowa soon

Really looking into getting myself a nice gift, can I get some help.

Up to $6000 I'd say, not a hard limit or anything. That includes pre-owned ones that might normally retail for more if there's a chance they could be found around this price.

It would be a daily wearer, so nothing too formal or too specialized. I like chronos, pilots, whatever. Anything that feels like the price I'm paying (whatever that is) is justified. I'm already aware of speedies and am considering one but something is holding me back, maybe thinking like it's not unique or something.

A good size would be anywhere from 36mm to 42, as my wrists are kind of small. No strap preference.

If this isn't enough info I can try to help more, but I'm honestly just trying to get a good feel.

Is tudorfag gone? I feel like I haven't seen his shitposting recently.

Any opinions on Junkers watches? My finance bought me one (pic related) as a wedding gift but I just don’t hear much about them. I chose it myself and I love pilot watches, so I’m happy with the look, but I just have a couple Citizen watches and wanted to see if anyone else has experience with Junkers.

Sorry for posting so much about this damn watch.

Can this be worn casually, i.e. not just with a suit? I can never tell.

>>14318169
If you wear lots of colors, yes. If not, no.

>>14318169
the dial reminds me of skin/horror, it is grotesque and I don't think something so morbid, so powerful should be on a watch dial

>>14317964
>>14318160
No answers to these questions? What’s going on here? Let me explain how these threads work. You go through and read every post and reply to them otherwise there’s no discussion. Why are you doing this? I need answers right now god damn it! STOP FUCKING IGNORING ME!!!!!!!!

>>14317964
don't buy timex, bad qc and overpriced for what they are
>>14318160
don't do this either. Here are recommendations, one at least will probably do it for you.
hamilton khaki field mechanical, tisell type b, or some baw house bullshit from junghauns, specifically the max bill

>>14318213
not either of these posters but what's wrong with max bill?

>>14318220

Might I ask how?

>>14317992

>tfw the 1st thing i would be when going back before killing thanos would be to buy every tudor sub i could and bring them back with me to resell for a 1000% profit

it looks like someone cut a blood orange in half

>>14317964

I have a weekender and it's been durable as fuck. very accurate, too.
no opinion on the camper military styles as far as what the public perception of them is but I think they look fine. nice, even.

I like the Sixties. Again, like I've said, it's very underrated. It would be a flashy colour, playful. Would this be your only watch?

German made, maybe a tiny bit overpriced for their quartz stuff, but you are getting a pretty solid Swiss movement. If you like the style, they are great, especially for the price.

>nazi symbols

>>14318653
This shit again. Stop baiting you faggot, you know it's a Maltese cross, and even if it were the Iron cross, that's just being based. And for the rest of you faggots out there, VC took their Maltese cross from the Geneva stopwork and that's how their logo came out to be,

>>14318160
I've got a Junkers Bauhaus 6060-2 with the cream dial and I love it. It's a very nice looking watch.

My only real issue with it is that the rotor on the miyota whatever movement is quite loud

>>14318680
it's obviously a joke

Any thoughts on recent montblanc, such as the 1858 collection?

>>14318733
The 1858 watches are pretty nice to be honest, especially the salmon dialed ones. Just wish the minerva movement ones weren't $30k.

>>14318744
Maybe I'm just stupid but I thought all montblancs used the Minerva movements? Or do some use ETA and I never bothered to check

>>14318749
I don't know about all of them, but if I'm not mistaken the cheaper chronos are based on a sellita/valjoux.

Next watch Tudor 58 or New Seamaster?

>>14318653
Fuck off. Are you just gonna post this every thread from now on?
Get over it.

Someone give me one good reason why luxury watches cost as much as a car. Justify it to me and no meme responses. I want actual arguments for why a watch costs as much as a car.

>>14318779
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

>>14318779
It's jewelry. Do you also question why some jewelry costs thousands of dollars?

>>14318779
Some people just have a lot of money, it just sits in the bank anyway, you can always make more. Buy what you like, life's short.

>>14318782
Yes, I do.
Diamonds are worthless and their price value was artificially created through marketing several decades ago.

>>14318786
Okay, for your lack of basic economics knowledge please see the post above me.

>>14318775
1 Post 1 question....... What is your problem?

>>14318784
>>14318782
>>14318781
Let me reiterate, I like watches. I'm just genuinely curious and a little annoyed that I can get a brand new BMW and have it cost less than many luxury watches.
I want to know how they justify it. I know it doesn't cost that much just because they use gold or something.

>>14318793
That it's an unfunny troll question that has been debunked each time you've asked it and yet every thread you keep posting it out of pure autism. Grow up already, damn.

>>14318572

114270? On wrists photos? Was thinking about picking one up

>>14318797
Why do Bugattis cost their price? It's also not just the material cost. There isn't a similar market competing with them. BMW has a sizable mid-range luxury market driving their price down.

Everyone owns a car, practically nobody owns a watch.

>>14318798
First time I've asked it, what was /wt/ answer?

>>14318775
>>14318680
You guys understand that you are the reason it will be posted until oblivion right? Like I can't imagine being this stupid

>>14318797
Your BMW doesn't not cost that much to make, what's the scrap price of it? They have a huge markup aswell. You like cars more than watches clearly. Some people get it some people don't, it's fine.

>>14318169
Maybe for Halloween faggot

>>14318781
this is the only reason

>>14318469
My only nice watch, yes

SPEEDY: WHAT STRAP?

>>14318733
>>14318744
The ones that have the Minerva movement are absolutely amazing, with Lange-tier movement finish.
Just wish they said "Minerva" on the dial instead of fucking "Mont Blanc".

Post watches fit for honorable men who believe in a worthy cause.

>no crown guard
Noooope

>>14319518
yes because its a throwback to a vintage design
and believe it or not, some people have different style preferences. crazy right?

>>14319536
In defending the lack of a crown guard you're only defending style over substance.

>>14319544

>>14319590
>flaw

>>14319590
>>14319544
Its designed after the "Bond" submariner

i'm sure you think serious divers still use these "dive watches" and they're not just a fashion item right now

>>14319604
Yes it's a flaw. Being a throwback to a time when they didn't know any better doesn't mean it's not a flaw.

>>14319611
Fuck me dude that's the entire point of mech watches. It's all anachronistic tech.

>>14319621
You're wrong. You could still use a mechanical dive watch if you wanted to. You could still use one without a crown guard if you wanted to with an additional risk of ruining your watch because the design is flawed and predates the introduction of the dive watch crown guard

>>14319631
What's the point of a crown guard if it's a screw down crown?

>>14319631
Nobody does though. Only watch enthuists that take up diving to put their watch underwater do that. Because nobody want to risk their 4000 dollar watch even if it does have crown guards lol

>>14319644
Why did all dive watches add crown guards eventually?
>>14319646
If you subscribe to that line of argument why bother even making them water resistant at all?

>>14319662
No it is part of the historical accuracy and heritage of many timepieces. Its is also cool. I'm just being facetious and saying that you're really nitpicking and you come off as being one of those guys on massdrop that say they won't buy and $80 watch because it doesn't have sapphire lol.

Do you necessarily have to resort to buying a microbrand shitter if you want a cool and sporty but still small and dressy dive watch for under 500?

>>14319693
Unless you watch a seiko skx013 or whatever that tiny bastard is, yea I think so. That or be a real g and get a boctok and put it on a mesh bracelet

>>14319690
I'm not denying that it's historically accurate. I'm saying that it's still a flaw. Deal with it.

>>14319720
I like the SKX013 for a lot of reasons but it's too chunky and ugly looking imo to wear as an everyday watch.

>>14319721
Then it's also a flaw it's not a quartz lmao

>>14319733
I'm inclined to agree.

>>14319734
its also flawed because its only 200m when dive watches can easily go past 1000m, because it has no pressure valve and because it can't calculate your depth and pressure , have a luminous backlight, monitor gases, tank Pressure and Ascent Rate, and calculate the ideal dive profile

>>14319513
such a beautiful watch

>>14319799
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMdmByDGhb0

>>14319693
For some fucking bizarre reason the japs are not shitting out a single sub 40mm dive watch

Just unsubscribes to all watch channels on YouTube and Instagram.
Had a bit of an epiphany and realised how much time, thought and money I put into this vapid “hobby”.
Seriously, find a watch you like for a couple hundred dollars maximum and find yourself a real hobby. Spend your money on guitars, travel, cameras, bicycles, whatever instead of this pointless venture that is watches.
Peace bros. See you in /p/ and /trv/.

>>14319924
Ahem.

>>14319974
based basedmaster poster

>>14319975
Honestly, he does have a bit of a point. I love learning about watches and buying them, but it really is a hobby where most of what you're doing is buying shit. You can turn virtually any hobby into that but it's a lot easier with watches.

>>14319975
You don’t think sports, photography and learning guitar are more creative and productive than buying watches?
Watches may as well be handbags or shoes for a bored, gold digger housewife.

>>14319983
I’m considering swapping out the case for the non gold variant. What you think?

>>14320001
My brother, could you get any more BASED??

>>14320005
But nibba.
It would still be F U L L L U M E.

>>14319974
arent these 41mm though? regardless, their thickness definitely makes them feel much smaller than lower-end seiko divers that are both thicker and larger. picrel is an old lume shot of mine. by far the best visibility out of any watch I own.

>>14319988
then sounds like you should stop buying watches and start enjoying the ones you own. as you said, any hobby can end up dissolving into "buying shit for the sake of buying shit" (look at sneakers right now, people literally buy up all new releases like a bunch of sheep and stockpile them).

>>14319997
>buying watches
you say that as if all there is to watches as a hobby is buying them. I'm not arguing that the hobby isnt sometimes pointless and superficial, im more saying that its the fault of the person partaking in the hobby if all they get out is the superficial side.

>>14320005

Can someone under the age of 50 wear a reverso?

I like them in theory, and the price, but I feel like they're so out of place on the wristshots I've seen.

>>14320022

>>14320024

>>14320026
Do you look good? If you do, anything you wear will look good. Imagine the Goose wearing a Reverso, see a problem with it?

>>14320024
I pretty much have stopped buying watches. In sure I'll buy more in the future I'm definately good for now. Checking out these threads scratches the itch to look at/learn about watches for now. To be clear I wasn't trying to slag off anybody. It's nice to have multiple hobbies, especially if ones autistic and detail oriented (eg watches) and ones more skill or activity focused (eg sports or art shit). Obviously some combine the 2 like mountain biking - many people turn that into a huge buypig hobby and forget to ride lol

>>14320028
Well I guess I'm out of luck then

>>14320046
Don't worry brother, once you learn not to give a shit what others think of you, you'll slap that Reverso on your wrist and go outside feeling like the Goose himself.
Patrician taste btw, HH.

>>14320036
I’m the original dude. I think I just realise that I’ve been spending horrible amounts of time on this board and browsing watches on eBay, etc.
I now realise how pathetic that is and I’ve been making a bigger effort to spend time on other, productive things.

It’s nice to have a cool watch but watching Archie’s depressing video recently was a bit of a shock. People use watches to hide their depression.

Any good looking Dual time zone/World timers/GMT/UTC for under 5k?

>>14320060
Friggin rights dude. Buying nice shit for yourself once in while and taking pride in it and learning about it isn't inherently evil but if that's your life then it's a problem! Many such cases.

>>14320036
we're in agreement. this statement is 100% accurate. cheers

>>14320068
explorer2 16570 is a really good option imo

>went into an AD to look at some watches
>tried a few brietlings
>look and feel like cheap shit, even the leather bands are trash

Why do people buy these shitters? They are finished like a $150 watch.

GENTLEMEN. Wristwatches are, in my OPINION, one of the few pieces of jewelry a man can wear. They add some extra "oomph" to an outfit and send a subtle signal that you're punctual and responsible.
HOWEVER, there are TONS of overpriced watches out there, especially if you start looking at more high-end brands. But as you know, Alpha's here to find YOU the best deals on SLEEK SEXY STYLISH products... So feast your eyes on this little number from today's video sponsor: MVMT. Look at this - a HIGH-GRADE Japanese quartz chronograph with THIRTY METERS of water resistance and interchangeable straps. And here's the kicker: it only costs 150 bucks, so you're getting a premium timepiece without breaking the bank.
WHOOOAAAATT? That's right guys, LESS THAN 200 dollars for a luxury watch that would typically run you 600 or more. This is thanks to MVMT's revolutionary distribution system which CUTS OUT THE MIDDLE MAN, allowing them to sell high-quality products without the markup. BOOM, now you've got a great watch AND can still afford a dinner date with that spicy senorita... or senor, I'm not judging... you've been eyeing for a while.
Guys, there's a link down in the description; it will take you to the OFFICIAL AlphaM collection curated by yours truly. And make sure you use the promo code "Alpha20" to get TWENTY PERCENT off your first purchase.

Got this shitter today, it came on an awful fake leather strap so I put it on an expanding bracelet I had lying around.
Seems okay, I haven't opened it to see how much feces is inside yet. It was £10.

>>14320092
are they really? I love the Colt design and one day I'll hopefully purchase one

>>14320442

Thanks, pictures do not do it justice, i own pieces 2/3 times the price and none of them make me feel the way the speedy does, i love it. If you're thinking of getting one, stop thinking and just get it.

>>14320464
Not him but I'm looking at getting the Speedmaster 38mm, 324.30 something or other.

>>14320474

The Speedmaster wears small to begin with, unless you have small wrists i'd recommend the 42mm original, i tried the 38 recently and it didn't look right. If you've already tried it and like it, it's a nice alternative, the automatic movement and date are a bonus. Depends what you like, to me it doesn't have the charm of the original hesalite model with manual wind.

>>14317979
Grand Seiko spring drive.
Many styles, mostly dressy, kinda sporty. The spring drive movement is beyond anything the Swiss ever had. Most cases are titanium alloy that is harder to scratch than stainless and also have better thermal property. Lighter as well.
Prices of swiss watches have been rapidly climbing in the past decade and the value have not increased the least. Brands like Rolex cultivate prestige through obscurity and it limit development because it would cuck people who payed insane money for past products plastered with gold.

Nomos can also be a good choice if you like Bauhaus.

>>14320474
THE ONLY SPEEDMASTER WORTH GETTING IS THE MANUAL WIND WITH THE HESALITE. NO PUSSY DISPLAY BACK EITHER

£3750 mint box papers at local jewellers, its stilling a while £3300 maybe, I just worry about 36mm being to small, was okay when trying it on I thought (7.25 wrist). I'd like a new no date sub (good luck tho). I do love the 114070 don't no if they will go to 1060 prices but they can only go up

>>14321032
I want a pastel blue seaforth, it isnt a model their doing right now but I'm confused looking at the lug to lug specs they put up for everything. The next seaforth is bronze and they have 48mm under specs for lug to lug, I thought they did 46.6, I hope if they bring back the steel pastel blue version they dont Jack up the size. So annoying when a diver or dress watch is like "hey we are going conservative sizes for everyone! 39-40mm" And then the lug to lug is fucking horrible (at least if it is going to be on an 2 piece strap and not a bracelet/nato)

>>14321246
*I hope they don't jack up the size

>>14321246
48mm isn't even that big.

>>14321260

>>14321266
for 2 piece straps in looks like shit imo, unless you are using some thick italian leather that hugs the case, but still

I doubt this watch will really even come back anyway, would be perfect since I want something with an ETA under a grand, neat little contrarian choice. Gotta get that slick numale blue look

I like the B dial :(

>>14317979
Avoid the "prestiege" Swiss brands as other posters have mentioned. Their prices are super-inflated right now. Steve McQueen spent about the equivalent of $2000 USD in today's money on his no-date Submariner. They're now $7,500.
Aside from the already mentioned Oris, Sinn, and Nomos, I would also recommend you take a look at Fortis. Their Cosmonauts chronograph is a good alternative to the Speedy.
I like some of Junghans chronos as well.
Bell & Ross isn't everyone's cup of tea, but they're certainly distinctive.
There are some interesting options by Muhle Glashutte as well, and their prices tend to be very fair.
I remember thinking Vertex's new monopusher chrono looked pretty interesting as well.
For $6k you could also get yourself a Monaco.

pls help find this or something similar

>>14321360
Easy, you need a casio MQwhatever that you then put on a hirsch. The classic resin leather combo is more elegant and timeless than any Cartier or Rolex

What is the bang for the buck in matter of watches? Like, taking 100 USD as the top for example.

>>14321414
vostok amphibia or automatic komandirskie from meranom, leftover money can be spent on 5 straps on cheapestnatostraps or a decent leather strap from wherever. You get an in house movement, insane actual history connected to it and not pr nonsense, and you will not see them around (maybe if you are in a slavic country but not NA at least)

>>14321426
Thank you for the tip. As the speed reader I am, completely missed the poorfags guide in the op and I'm checking it out now. And yes, the firstone you mentioned popped up there and it really caught my attention.

>>14321271
In case anyone at all wanted this, the dude got back to me and said this will not be produced again. He had 3 runs of it so it's on me, unfortunate as the specs/uniqueness/$$ lined up for me.

It's me
>>14321414
>>14321433

What I have is pic related.
A 100usd Casio Edifice something
A 100usd citizen
2 30something usd Casios one which I swapped the strap for one more casual(black) and have to swap the other for a leather one because it sucks(gold).
A Fitbit with around 12 chinese straps of multiple colors, which I change according to the color of my shirt when I go to the gym.
It is evident that I am not only a poorfag, but I am also a 3rd world nigger that got 4 out of 5 watches from Amazon and got them sent to me here, being the other a gift from my father ,that sadly paid like 300usd in a store here, without knowing that due to taxes and greedy jews, the same Edifice is 1/3 of the price he paid in amazon.

So guys, what should I get considering my options?

>>14319974
Not normally a fan of citizen, but I really like the look of this watch. It all comes together nicely.

>sucking Omega's cock because of >muh moon
>ignoring based Strela for doing it all first
It's an absolute shame what happened to the brand. That's communism I guess

>>14321477
are the modern ones of these any good? I was thinking about purchasing picrel but dont know much about the brand

>>14321489
I have this one and it's great. It's 40mm and has a seagull movement which is decent, nothing special but it works.
The crystal cracked unexpectedly, so that was a bummer. I'll get it fixed eventually.

>>14321504
Here's a shot of my actual watch. I picked it up one day and the crystal had a crack. It wasn't dropped or hit on something. Then the crack just got worse from there.

How much does it cost usually to get a crystal replaced? There's a few watch places near me. How much should I expect to replace it?

yall fw offshores?

>>14320890
I'll put it on something else at some point, maybe a cheap black leather one.
It's a 17 jewel manual wind movement, I think it's a Citizen movement made under license.

Bulova has stopped production of any tuning fork movements watches, except for some limited releases, right?

>>14321567
There's just the 50th anniversary accutron which uses a remade 214 movement, but other than that there are no new tuning forks. Pic related does look pretty neat though.

>>14321108
I like their meteorite dials

>>14321580
man bulova fucking sucks, they have such good history and old designs but they chose to make oversized mall dogshit. And then when they try to harken back it's limited edition and they still mess it up, even that looks cheap compared to an old accutron, their joesph bulova collection also misses the mark

>>14321587
could of made a 38mm version of something like this

>>14321360
reverso???

>>14321587
It's too bad they're a shadow of their former selves to be honest. This may not be a tuning fork but it has some pretty unique technology regardless:

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/citizen-electrostatic-accutron-concept-movement-introducing

>>14321589
That piece does look pretty nice. Ref?

WHY do they have to put their stupid "motto" there? On every model?

completely ruins the aesthetic of most of them

>>14321601
they're hideous anyway

>>14321593
old ebay listing I saved it off of, but almost all of the old bulova and hamilton squares from the 30s-50s (I think, maybe just 30-40s is when they did this specific type of art deco) are really good looking. They aren't rare or that expensive but they are obviously tiny, they could look at any of these old ones, raise the size up, keep it faithful, no changing the blocky numerals, or hands, or putting retarded looking lugs on it, and they would be golden. Bulova is out of their fucking minds for not reissuing gotti's bulova, putting whatever inside of it and charging a grand.

Hamilton has a shot at bringing back these types of designs, they honor they history pretty faithfully it's just that they haven't gone that far back in the timeline yet. They could just have 1 watch to represent those years and they would have a stranglehold on the "yeah I want an old new york grand central looking watch, but it works and isn't 28mm" market.

>>14318653
that's not even an iron cross, but a maltese

>>14321612
objectively wrong. some of the most impressive dials I've ever seen, especially the blues.

Everyone knows that already. Even him.

>>14321618
It really sucks when you want nazi watch but it's all just gay type B aviation shit. I'd maybe take a reissue/ inspired by WW2 german soldier watch, pic related I'm pretty sure is just franken watch bullshit. It's probably about as subtle as you can go in reality, or maybe a plain dial with an eagle and some small ss markings I don't know. It is edgy, and larping, and cringy, but I still want it to some extent. It's fun to have russian shit with soviet iconography on it, I want the same for every other negatively viewed faction. I'd also buy a north korea watch

>>14320606
>>14320396
Well let's compare:

>Sinn pros:
- dial print is actually print, meaning it's all ink applied by rubber pad so it stands out from the dial, which is cooler to look at.
On the Navitimer most print on the dial is actualy inlaid, and at the same level of the actual dial surface. (Though it's possible the Breitling 1959 reedition also has applied paint.)
- better water resistance

>Navitimer pros:
- the rotating bezel is an external one, which is MUCH faster and handier than Sinn's inner rotating bezel which you have to operate with a little knob.
(This also means the bezel knurling is actually functional on the Navitimer, as opposed to the Sinn's knurling which is purely for aesthetics)
- better movement with vertical clutch and column wheel, as opposed to Sinn's ultra-generic 7750.
- Chronometer accuracy, as opposed to Sinn's virtually non-existent accuracy standard.

As for sizing, that 1959 reedition I posted is also 41mm, and it's literally 2mm slimmer than the Sinn (partly because it's manual wind though).
Pricing, well that's another matter.

>>14321181
>>14321193
B dial is much cooler looking.
A dial just looks like a railway station clock.

What do you guys think of my collection?

>>14321693
Kinda boring, but not bad at all.

>>14321693
I really hate it but none of them are what you could technically call "bad"

>>14321701
Yea, I was thinking about getting the new black 38mm christopher ward gmt. But im not sure about having my only non seiko watches being christopher wards.

>>14321701
Actually scratch that, i just looked at the thickness and its too thick.i might just save up for a tudor black bay 32. I tried it on in store and it wears really well.

Thoughts on Soviet watches?
pic is mine, I know they're poorfag watches and are no where near as good quality as western stuff but they're pretty unique.

>>14321842
And I mean soviet watches other than meme vostoks and sturmanskies

>>14321842
Soviet dress watches are awesome.

>>14321890
Sup brit bro.

My 2982 is +3 in a week and i am so happy. Why do you guy seem tovnever talk abour your watch accuracy? Benchmarking watches is really fun to me

>>14321842
>unique
I mean I get the quirky and cheap argument but they are not unique. There’s ton of them on eBay, let alone in former Soviet countries. I used to have a pretty big collection of Soviet shutters but I’m glad I got rid of them for a little profit. There’s no reason for collecting a lot of these shitters, when you could get a decent Swiss watch for the equivalent amount of money.

>>14322058

Looks like a Bond villain. He's probably the one that put nazi crosses in watch logos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt0DG48vLVY
Expensive weeaboo shit.

>>14321211
I just bought mine with logo and data, but I opted for the handwound ETA. I gotta say, I don't mind the optics of the logo and date window. The logo is very small compared to other watch brands, and it's printed in a matte gray that doesn't challenge the white numerals. The date wheel is printed white on black, so it blends with the dial better.

It's also nice having the logo so people know it's not an Archimede shitter.

>>14322542
>date flieger
Oh god dude why. It fucking ruins the look. Come on.

>>14322542
I actually like their logo and think it's tastefully done.
I'm opting for none simply because the historical ones didn't have logos or dates and I want mine to reflect those. I like the story behind it if anyone asks about it, though without sperging about Nazis and shit.

>>14322542
How come so many watch geeks jizz their pants over these things? They're ugly as fuck and more importantly, the guys who originally wore them lost the war.

>>14322644
Because nobody else is producing ww2 watches from uk or usa or whatever.

If I want pic related I have to buy an original vintage overpriced shitter on ebay

>>14322644
They're just a cool piece of history that's still being produced today for an affordable price

>>14322542
>archimede shitter
>talking about Stowa
They use the same movement in the automatic versions, the biggest difference is Archimede sources its cases in Germany, which is actually better.

>tfw in love with the soh2 but deep down know it's a shitter and can't buy one as they're far too nouveau riche, cringy and embarrassing to wear

What to buy instead?

>>14322859
I like them. Saw them in person at an AD and was really impressed. They wear a lot smaller than they look

>>14322058
Well yeah in Europe they're not unique but in Australia no one knows what the hell they are

Something that looks like this and is smaller?

its not just watches. look at any "luxury" items.

quick answer, if you have to ask that then you're not the target audience

Thoughts on uniform wares watches? Same tier as DW?

I was watching Kitchen Nightmares and saw this closeup of Gordon's watch.
I know it's blurry but can anyone possibly identify it?

>>14323156
its probably a brietling chrono, he wears lots of different watches and has quite a few brietling chronos

I want a speedy but I dont know enough about the different versions. What's the typical one?

I dont want to accidentally buy a meme one or one that's considered shittier.

Hmm

>>14323188
There is only one Speedy anyone should ever get:
The Speedmaster Professional Man on the Moon. 42mm, hand-wound, hesalite crystal.

Get the moonwatch or don't waste your money.

>>14323195

>>14323190
>entire dial is misaligned
As expected of a russian shitter.

>>14323188
See
>>14323196
If you don't want the "real deal" for a speedy then get any other chronograph instead

>>14323216
>>14323196
only asking because I thought there were multiple editions of this, like all of the different numbers that follow on watches that seemingly look identical

>>14323226
There are but there's only one true moonwatch. And that's the only one worth getting.

>>14323226
Oh
Well, some of them are a bit smaller
Some are blue or grey or red
Some have sapphire crystals
Some have more wild colors in the dial
Some have wacky pictures in them, like snoopy
Some Seiko chronographs look like some older speedy

Consider buying a vintage omega of any kind or if you want a chronograph the Zenith El Primero or the slightly cheaper Seiko watches with the 8L35 (or whatever variant it's called now).

The reason to get a speedy is because of resemblance to the famous one, and if you don't value that enough then it is a little overpriced desu

>>14323250
Also note that lots of cheap watches have made it into space afterwards

>>14323250
I'm asking what the famous one is. im aware about the obviously different ones in terms of looks, but I was under the impression that there are many that looked like the famous one but might have shittier internals or something.

>>14323261
The famous one is this one >>14323195
If it's not 42mm, hand-wound with a hesalite crystal it's not the real Speedy.

Thanks for the advice. I do try to be very careful where I decide to wear it. I eventually want to travel overseas with it but I'm very wary of the possibilities. Perhaps a swap to a NATO band would make it a little more low key.
