So, Bulovas are shit, right? They used to be good during space race time but then became crap?
I'm not familiar with them that much

Why are rolex fangirls alaways so triggered?
If nothing comes close to rolex quality, like you were made to believe, then everybody will see that it's a hommage and not the real thing.
Or have you been memed into an overpriced purchase and now buyer's remorse is creeping into your söy thoughts and you have to defend the rolex price bubble at all cost?

>>14333725
Pass for me
Always preferred the planet oceans anyway

I know they're not the most respected brand in the world but are Invictas decent work watches for an office/restaurant job on a budget?

>>14333752
I'm having trouble imagining a scenario where an invicta would be a better option than something else.

>>14333725
Fuckin great. I had the previous version but the dial was too plain after seeing the W A V E dial.

>>14333763
Well for the price I can get a Casio Ediface Chrono, rather than a Speedway Invicta, though the bracelet/white dial of the Invicta would look "smarter" as i'm a waiter in a restaurant, aiming for an IT job in the future.

>>14333767
what price are we talking

What are some sensibly sized Panerai?
Do they do 40mm and under?

>>14333769
Around the £80-£150 mark since I don't want to spend crazy money on a watch

>>14333752
It does not matter at all what you wear in the office. Even if it's the gaudiest piece of shit, nobody cares as long as you don't have to talk to clients.
If you are serving tables in a posh restaurant you will get told by your supervisor if your watch is not up with the dress code. In an expensive restaurant you should rather wear a dress watch. Brand won't matter, just traditional dress watch with leather strap in a matching color or black.

In a cheaper food place, nobody will give a shit anyway. I've seen waiters wearing g shoks and steel watches and it never looked out of place.

>>14333779
fuck me that's like 200 bucks you can do better than a shameless piece of shit invicta

>>14333785
You are just an insecure brand whore. Invicta is pretty fine for the money. You are just triggered because they make hommages of a brand that you will never own but already defend like it's your mom's pussy and dad is out of town.

This is a fine looking watch, the only problem i have with it is those 2 winged logos. The chink movement is probably easier to fix and will last longer than some entry level ETA dogshit.

>>14333792
>blowing your troll load after only 3 posts.
Weak.

>>14333779

Just get an Invicta 8926ob. Seiko nh35a movement, solid watch for the price.

>>14333779
Just get a nice orient watch instead

>>14333725

>>14333736
Same. The 39mm PO is my dream watch

>>14333796
>everybody who disagrees with me is a troll

No, i honestly think that invicta is not shit. Besides those incredibly ugly meme watches.
And i just read that they use seiko instruments movements and used miyotas before.
For that cheap price they are actually very good. Only thing i'd swap is maybe the hands. Mercedes hands annoy me and the winged logo on the soconds hand is just fugly.

>>14333806
I have no idea what semenanon sees in the semenmaster sure they're distinctive but that doesn't mean they're good.

F91w strap suggestions?

>>14333888
When the strap costs more than the watch you're doing it wrong.

>>14333893
yeah the shitty rubber strap doesn't last long but i can never justify getting a strap more expensive than the watch itself when it breaks so i just buy a new watch every 2 years or so

Solid 14k gold ultra-thin Raketa. Rare as fuck.

Comfy khaki. I will order khaki silicone straps for my diver today, hopefully they won't look too gay but i just like this color.
>>14333917
>strap breaks every 2 years

That's some meme for clumy, fat or retarded people.
I have a casio MQ 24 for about 5 years. The strap is even slightly thinner than the one f91w one. I have worn this watch regularly: workouts, parties, working on the car and general daily stuff. The band is not even cracked.
I don't know how one can manage to damage this strap but it's not casios fault.

>>14333534
Yeah its a Seiko SUS homage. Its the manchester watch works rattler. The dial is a bit small relative to the bezel and overall watch case, but otherwise its great: titanium case, sapphire dial, screw down crown. I actually didnt realise it came with a screw down crown until I got the watch. Its rare to find a field watch with a screw down crown.

>>14333675
Thats the company logo on the dial.

>>14333922
where's the rotor?

>>14333950
It's manual wind.

>>14333964
God I'm retarded....

>>14333966
It looks weird because the running train is moved to the side so the gears don't have to overlap the mainspring barrel or the balance. I believe it's thinner than Poljot's movements.

>>14334091
well fuck. how can I get a list of casio's that actually have a countdown timer? I need that function a lot in daily life.

>>14334091
when you think of it its actually crazy the kind of complications you get in a cheap digital watch compared to previously having to pay thousands on high end mechanicals when you wanted those features back in the day

>>14334109
it's not crazy when you know how microchips are made, but yes if you compare them with the first digital watches, they're very cheap.

How cringe is this?

>>14334019
can you adjust the size of these casio watches?

>>14334149
the band? yes.

What's the deal with Panerai? They're very distinctive but look fucking huge.
Are they doing well atm?

>>14334128
are these one of those fashion watches cashing in on pierre balmain's name.

if you're going that rought might as well get a brand normies will recognize like Michael kors or fossil

>>14334151
Cool , im planning on buying either this or a world watch,which on do you think would be nicer?

>>14334174
this >>14334019

Is it possible to find this style under $500 and still have decent quality? I'm not trying to impress any watchheads, just want something like this style that isn't absurdly priced and isn't completely shit in terms of quality like a designer watch.

>>14334200
if you're willing to get a quartz then yes

>>14334236
You ever done a service for free because you liked the movement?

>>14334251
Sometimes I'm tempted when I know the owner deliberately neglects to service it, but there isn't time. The owner only leaves it there for a few days, like a crystal change or whatever, there's not enough time to sneak in a service.

Paid a total of $5, am i a /wt/fag now?

>>14334200
>isn't completely shit in terms of quality like a designer watch.
Protip: designer/fashion watches are perfectly fine in terms of quality, the only reason people shit on them are because they're quartz.

And since there are no mechanical chronos below $500, you're fucked.

>>14334215
>>14334272

I figured it would be quartz but aren't some much better than others. Do you have any suggestions?

>>14334272
>the only reason people shit on them are because they're quart

actually, watch freaks shit on fashion watches mostly because of
>muh heritage
>muh not an actual watch brand
nevermind that 90% of heritage watch brands had been bought by commercial investors, the original management completely replaced and their designs streamlined for the market the same way "fashion watches" are.

brands like longines don't have anything in common with what they've used to be, other than the brand name and some heritage models.

>>14334272
>>14334290
so if "fashion watches" aren't truly as shit as their reputation among watch enthusiasts suggests, especially at poorfag prices, are there any fashion brands that do it better than other fashion brands? like maybe Fossil since they now own a few watch companies?

>>14333144
what is this making fun of? i dont really go on other watch forums so i might just be missing the reference here.

Going to start work in an office environment soon.. want to get babby's first dress watch, but am not sure where to look. was thinking about a cartier tank. im a brand cuck with a gmt-ii and a daytona, but i don't think its appropriate to wear either of those so i need something else. iwc??

>>14334379
datejust

Am I correct in my assumption that being a watchmaker for a big manufacture is no different to being a wagecuck factory worker in a let's say, a car assembly? Like there's not much glamour to it?

>>14334379
Not really a dresswatch, but I'd take a santos over a tank to be honest.

>>14334379
Everyone knows the ultimate power play is to wear a fucking shitter at the office.

>>14334307
No one knows because they're completely ignored by every online forum.

Came in yesterday. Apparently it's a decent movement. Opened it and took the movement out to see if I could put it back together without it breaking and it worked. Showed a picture of the movement for advice on how to remove the stem (?) and the guy told me it's not bad at all. Kind if proud of myself for not fucking it up and for buying a decent thing for a reasonable price.

Also, here's why ALS isn't part of the trinity. They're a movement manufacturer - dials, hands, and the case aren't in-house. They're sub-contracted.

>>14334433

>>14334437

>>14334394
for whatever reason, i want something that's got a leather strap. i like the idea of it.

>>14334406
was considering the santos or even the ronde solo. what the hell does it even mean to be a dresswatch anyway

Chinese shitter.

>>14334441
you know that straps can be changed right

hello goys

>>14334444
>what the hell does it even mean to be a dresswatch anyway
Well there are a few aspects of the design, not every single one of them has to be followed of course. Relatively small (below 40mm), simple dial, thin, sometimes a 2 hander, on a leather strap, classic case design, etc. Pic related is a quintessential example.

>>14334455
not gonna lie to you - i'm lazy. i want something that i can wear out of the box, and be completely satisfied with.

>>14334458
>muh minimalism
can a dress watch not be so boring?

The point of the dress watch is to not be super flashy or complicated. There's some wiggle room of course.

>>14334663
Is that bracelet green? wtf
The chrome around the indices does not fit the watch. The SKX were popular for not having chrome, that was something rare in modern watches. Also the bezel only having dots until the 20 instead of all around looks worse.
Good job soiko, another beloved model ruined for no reason.

I am in the market for a nice gift to myself. Recently my watch got magnetized at work so the only requirement is that it's antimagnetic.

>"Suggest a watch for me."

Hey /wt/ I am looking to at watches for this first time and I am overwhelmed by all the variety. I am hoping y'all can flex some knowledge at me.
I am interested in a business watch and a casual watch, with a soft budget of ~200. I don't have any idea of what a classy business watch would be (I work in finance), and I would like my casual watch to have the same energy as pic related.
Any suggestions about brands/styles/etc would be appreciated.

Wtf are you looking at the Mil for the, it's old dated tech. Good for 5k gauss only, that's why it's a meme.

what's he going to do stick his hand in an MRI

>>14335409
I work with NMR magnets so around 5 T at the closest, or 50k gauss. Obviously I'm not right by them so it's less than this.

>>14335312
Is there an easy way to see which omega watches have this anti magnetism? I get that the ">15000 gauss" line has it but its unclear whether or not the other ones have it without reading into each specific listing.

>>14335409
He clearly works in strong magnetic fields, why buy a subpower watch / tool that costs more. Mil is outdated, well know fact and due a update.

Well, when you get your hair cut ever 4 weeks you can pop into your watchmakers and get your Mil demagnetized.

It's not cock waving if its actually a better movement.

>>14335438
Go with the Omega AT, wear it and enjoy it. The Rolex will hold its money better but that's why you have to buy used, it will work out the same. Mil probably go up in value honestly in 20 years but you'll be wearing yours, so it's no safe queen.

If you want to retain value buy quartz and invest the rest.

>>14335461
All omega new co-axial are good for 15k gauss. Seamaster, 300, planet ocean, automatic speedmaster. For the price no one co.es close to omega as for as tech goes. Rolex do have iconic designs tho but so does omega.

People in your field / professional tend to go with Omega. They have a good job and have money. They don't need Rolex to show off. If you want a nice watch buy AP or JLC. Rolex if you must, don't really suit a professional imo.

Thoughts on the longines record?

Certified chronometer, sapphire crystal, classic design.

Anybody have any alternatives around this price mark with similar designs that are better?

FYI the RRP is 2750 AUD or ~1900 USD

>>14335494
It's late, should have read that back, you get the idea. I'm rich, not smart and know watches.

Looked at it at my local AD a few weeks back. It's a pale imitation to mine, but the movement will be better by a long-shot. I don't know Anon...I hate the black on black on black. One of the elements that separated the Seamaster from any other dive watch was the introduction of the blue in the early 90's. You need that...or else it's just another generic dive watch.

>>14334456
Beautiful Speedy. Plan to get one in the next year or so.

>>14335208
I second the Omega, plus with a new one that has a Master Chronometer Certification you'll be very well protected indeed (they test at 15,000 gauss according to their website).

>>14335570
Beautiful. How's it running?

>>14335573
I love it, rare to find a moonphase outside of a calendar so that's what drew me.

Blue looks great on that Omega, what's next?

>>14335577
The masterlist is simple, the first being a Speedy 145.012. Probably by the end of the year if I find the right specimen. Beyond this, I'm not sure.

I had a rather disheartening realization this past weekend. In the past week, I've glanced at the watch on my wrist a total of 3 times, and I remember each time. I don't notice it at work, I don't enjoy it when I'm driving to work, and when I get home I'm tired enough that I usually eat something and go straight to bed.

A new watch...well....I just don't think it'll get the love it should, or at least, I won't have the time to enjoy it the way it might deserve. So, a large collection is pretty much out of the question for me, because even if I were to rotate them on a daily basis, I find that I just wouldn't look at them enough to enjoy them. So...things have changed.

But, given how flexible and admittedly turbulent my emotions have been lately, I may change my mind again on this. If I were to continue, the next on the masterlist would likely be a Rolex Day-Date.

What about you? What's next for you after the JLC?

Slav watches are neat. This stopwatch is very satisfying to wind, and it has a nice soundng tick.

>>14335591
Sorry to hear that anon, maybe it just comes down to finding the perfect one? I find that if I visit my AD a few times over the course of a month or two and a particular watch keeps grabbing my eye it's probably a worthwhile buy.

I already have a two-tone Yacht-Master (gets hate here but looks beautiful in natural light), so I'm currently deciding between the Royal Oak (15450) or the VC FiftySix Selfwinding (Blue Dial). Leaning towards the AP

>>14334321
I sometimes make fun of the typical boomer watch forum poster, with all the HEY BILL BEAUTIFUL TIME PIECE WEAR IT IN GOOD HEALTH stuff. That was just a normal encouragement post though.

Goodnight for now lads and lasses, hope you all are keeping safe out there and having fun with your watches. Until tomorrow.

>>14335608
It's okay Anon...it's not a bad thing really, it's just a feeling that I've come to over the past few months. To be honest, I've always wanted the Speedy, so that would never be a regret or anything. It's just...lately material goods in general have lost their lustre. I'm not drawn to buying things the way I was when I was younger, and at this point the Seamaster does the job perfectly day in day out. Another watch is just...another watch, if that makes any sense.

It's not that watches don't sing to me anymore...the new Day-Date absolutely does, it's fucking beautiful. But the reality of daily life always returns to my mind, and I can't help but think that if these days I only wear my Seamaster and almost never wear any of my other watches....well, another watch is just going to be sitting 'until the weekend'...you know what I mean? I don't know...I'll probably change my mind tomorrow. But the Port does bring out some honesty in my feelings. In other words, if I had 10 watches...I have a gut feeling that I'd always reach for my Seamaster first thing in the morning.

Nothing wrong with a Yacht-Master! I think people here just shit on Rolex because it's easy to shit on. Considering that many watchmakers swear by Rolex in terms of their ease of service, the reliability and functionality of the parts and internal design, etc....I don't really have a problem with them, though I may have the one or two aesthetic problems with a few of their models.

I can understand leaning towards the Royal Oak...it's iconic. I don't know...if it were me, I'd ask myself, 'what do I not have in the collection that can do something different than the others?'.

they even have knockoffs of this shit

my favorite Rolex model is the sky-dweller

Luxury watch brands are not effay

>>14335591
Dam sound like you need a new life not a new watch, take it off, go watch less for a few weeks, you don't uses the thing anyway. See how you feel when you put it back on.

It that doesn't do it sell and get out, try again a few years.

Honestly if I had that gen of seamaster I'd feel the same.

My parents who are from the Soviet Union don't understand why I buy them though

>>14333142
This also arrived today, red orient star from yahoo auctions. All that is left is an ocean anus and a gshock mini until I collection post again for at least 3-25 threads. So like, 2 months if I get a job

>>14334723
Lum is slightly less retarded. Don't buy a fucking pan though you retard.

What's /fa/'s opinion on reps?
I can afford these watches but I'm a cheapofag.

>>14335875
Well, they'll get you sued if you try to import them, if you can get them locally then good, no one will ever notice.

>>14335899
Don't get those, a good replica is $500-1000.

>>14335875
why would you get a rep when you can get a phoibos? a much more relevant and iconic brand than rolex >>14333142

>>14335875
I'm not going to tell you what you should do with your money.
Those in your pic related are really bad fakes, look at that cyclops, the omega logo looks huge and off. They look really fake.
I've never bought a fake watch, but I bet that you can find better fakes than those.
Personally, I think that you can buy an original design watch in every price range. Of course if you're into grand complications pateks you need a lot of money, but for a simple watch you can get anything at every price range.
If you want watch just to signal wealth, buy a fake. You'll probably impress people that don't know nothing about watches. But when someone that knows something about watches will instantly see that those are fake(based on your pic related) and of course if you're poor, if you walk around with a Rolex, Ap, PP etc.. Everybody will assume that is fake, you can't afford one. The same thing as when you see a woman walking around with a lv or hermes bag, everybody assumes that is fake.

>>14335913
yeah... not really buddy sorry to break it to you.

You people have no clue.

Yes, what? http://www.noobwatch.com/

>>14335973
Um, no.... sorry sweetie, facts dont care about your feelings, and the facts are sugar muffin that phoibos has switched up the game, so you just chew on that, okay blueberry dick?

Seeing how much money omega spends on speedy events make me sick. Fucking jews. Between the ads and the unnecessarily huge box and freebies how much are we actually paying for the watch?

I could see why someone who lived through the Soviet Union may not be interested.
This is my favorite commie mechanical. It has a linen textured dial, and I put it on an ostrich leather band. I just wish it had a stainless steel case instead of chrome plated brass.

I like the texture of the dial on your watch, and the style of the bezel. Have you tried cleaning up the scuffs on the crystal with acrylic polish?

New strap for summer.

>>14336083
Sexy

>>14336043
Nah I'm well aware why, because they know that soviet watches (and anything soviet made, really) are garbage compared to Western equivalents.

And nah, I haven't bothered trying to do that though I should. I'm waiting on two more though, another raketa and a luch.

>>14335875
lol they all look like obvious fakes except the panerai.

How robust and shock-proof are modern automatic movements? Mine fell about 1,5m taking it out of a cabinet. Seiko SN35 movement for reference. Keeps good time yet, should I keep an eye out on minutes lost/earned per day?

>>14334723
Not really a huge watch guy. Only just looking more into them. Really like the luminors look, but does anybody here have any knowledge on the quality of the Pam movements these days? I'd consider potentially getting one at some point, but it's a sizeable cost and I'd like to know I'm getting the most for the money. Would it make more sense to get a pre Brooklyn Bridge scandal version, or to avoid the Panerai's entirely? If so are there any other similar looking watches that you would recommend instead?

>>14336199

>>14335626
They make 6 buck knockoffs of 10buck digi casios, anon.

panerai fakes are notorious for being very easy to make convincing fakes

Chinese shitter.

Good morning wt

If you have a few minutes, please check out my watch macros on insta and tell me what you think: instagram.com/kolin_marchand?igshid=1r8txrns37g9x

Such a sexy watch

What's /wt/ wearing today? Pic related is what I've got on today. Still keep forgetting to check /fa/ for the general.

>>14336550
Couldn't afford a Rolly?

>>14336563
>implying

>>14336550
You should install a classic keyboard.

>>14336563
Also, calling a Rolex a rolly makes you sound like a faggot. Unironically kill yourself.

>>14336602
Why don't you have any non-homosexual watches?

>>14336600
>tfw I actually don't mind the W530 keyboard.
It's not as bad as /g/ seems to think it is to be honest. As far as laptop keyboards go, it's pretty okay/10.

Need help boys

My girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and I'm thinking about getting her a watch. I want something between £100- £500 which will look good and function as a good reliable low maintenance watch for a woman. Any suggestions?

>Pic is my current daily watch, Vostok Amphibian

>>14336616
Don't get her a watch unless she's asked for one. If she has though, Rado golden horse's and Bulova Super Seville's are pretty okay. Just avoid the ones from Korea and India.
>>14336610
Because I'm on 4chan, and everyone on this website is a faggot. I think you practically answered that one yourself. Post collection.

>>14336631
Why is a watch a bad idea if she hasn't asked for one?

>>14336616

>>14336616

Seiko solar. Lots of options available.

>>14336635
Because you’re not supposed to project your own autism on people.

>>14336631
I'm too poor for a watch, sorry.

>>14336640
Thank you, they look very good and are in the price range I'm looking at.

>>14336639
That's absolutely hideous

>>14336635
Because watches are very marmite for some people. I know several people who just don't like wearing them full stop no matter what they look like or what they are. Maybe ask her what she wants, or ask her if she'd even like a watch before throwing a few hundred bucks at something she may not even wear. Good luck finding something though Anon. I'm pretty shit at gifts.
>>14336654
I was expecting higher quality bait than this.

>>14336657

This is what I bought for my girlfriend.
Seiko Women's SUT130 Solar-Power Gold-Tone Bracelet Watch https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00JAPJ98A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_w8d3CbQKJFF98

>>14336665
>I was expecting higher quality bait than this.
I literally am though. Too old to wear Seikos and such, too poor to get a real watch.

>>14336616
Post her pusy and we’ll match something just for her.

>>14336616
Does she have hairy forearms?

>>14336670

Definitely not at $1000 though. It was only like $150.

>>14336550
Holy fuk dat is handsome, where'd you get it?

>>14336348
They're all shitters

>>14336725
How new and fresh
Must have over 300 iq

>>14336734
Are you trying to say that they're not shitters? You asked for opinions and I gave you mine, now go back to shitty instagram page and never come to my 4chan(nel) ever again. Janny, take him away.

>>14336725
Cmon, he spent all the money in the camera...

>>14336778
It is too late, the janitorial crew has already disposed of him. Free of charge, of course.

>>14334290
brands like longines don't have anything in common with what they've used to be, other than the brand name and some heritage models.
>and some heritage models

I guess I'm safe then, thanks for confirming it, m8.

>>14335026
Holy shit. Please post more pics of this dog

I like quartz watches

>>14336831
how do they get away with charging what they do for that watch

Are there any quartz watches below $2k that are "respectable" in any way except G-Shock?

>>14336348

the macros shots look cool imo, but the watches being photographed arent very interesting (to me). keep at it though, ill be interested to see future pictures (probably wont though since Instagram is fucking cancer)

>>14333200
>>14333142

god, both of these photos are disgusting.

>>14336859
I paid 1400€, if you consider that expensive you must be quite poor.

>>14336722
Bought it from a jeweller in Washington years back, and it came on a bracelet. I only just switched it onto leather today so I have something with more contrast to my Rolex. Cost me about £500.

Seiko is truly a plebeian brand. Muh mods!!! No one mods a Rolex, an Omega, a Blancpain, a Patek, any Swiss for that matter, to look like a Seiko.

>>14336902
Söyboy plebs.

>>14336902
>>14336905

what about the skx homage that tudor released?

>>14336314
Nice obris. Haven't worn mine in quite a while.

>>14336909
It's not a homage as the design is older than the SKX. Rolex even has a patent on the bezel mechanism and even prototypes from the 60s were sold at auctions.

That watch is not the only hand-finished thing in the room.

>>14336616
Some fashion shitter, or get her a fake Denzel Washington from China. She'll never know the difference and bitches love those shitters.

>>14336916

I haven't looked closely at it lately until I switched to the isofrane strap and one lug end is dented in and almost couldn't get the screw out. But it's an awesome watch. Been wearing my sarb035 lately too and the end link keeps pushing out because the spring bar is too thin to hold it.

>>14335626

What's the point of expensive diver watches when you're never going to dive with them? Do people really buy them for the looks even though they don't go with anything?

Nah, b.

What's the point of expensive pilot's watches when you're never going to fly a plane with them? Do people really but them for looks even though they don't go with anything?

>>14336963
nobody actually uses luxury dive watches to go diving anymore

>>14336967
Well if it's a chrono it's a general driving/riding/tool watch too, otherwise there's not much point if it's one of those dinner plate fliegers.

>>14335875
Just get a cheaper watch instead. There is nothing wrong with owning a hommage watch

>>14333093

>>14336613
I don't mind the feel of the new keyboards, but the nav cluster layout is terrible. The classic keyboard is laid out like a desktop keyboard. I use an x230 with a classic keyboard and a 1440p screen hacked in.

>>14334406
just buy a reverso at that point, what the fuck are you doing buying a glorified fashion watch?
