Thoughts on Maurice LaCroix Aikon?

Very very well finished Royal Oak inspired (not direct homage). £1000 on chrono24 . ETA movement.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm4Z55lhaFc

I love the way it looks. I wonder what people would think if I wore it though. Will they think I was trying to pass it off as an AP? If they do I would argue it has tonnes of differences, I dont want to spend all that money on an AP, and I loved the look of this watch.

I am going to Oxford street in London to try on the new 39mm version later in the week.

>>14434389
Needs to be a Seiko.

>>14434435
not a fan of anything 'inspired'... for some reason copy/fake gets given the more dignified title of being an homage, and ripoffs get away with being inspired... it's ripping off key features of an original design. Put it in the bin.

>>14434435

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpjqYR2jcXo

>>14434441

what about their chrono? see >>14434444
It looks quite a bit different to AP chrono.

>>14434434
No opinion is fact. in my opinion, these are for the most part hardly worth bothering with. they're for people who can't afford better. same may be true for omega/rolex/tudor/APfags, and the very rich may feel the same about patek/constantin/jaegerfags... one thing is for sure though - the ones listed are the bottom of the barrel of mechanical watches. everyone above agrees they are trash, they are only not-trash to the lowest common denominator.

>>14435349
>longines or a tag heuer?
Okay, I will be completely honest with you.
DO NOT GET EITHER OF THOSE.
They are half decent, unknown watches, no one will notice them but you. Just buy a Casio or a Seiko and save up for something more special if you are feeling like getting a richfag watch.

>>14435363
i'd say they are very recognizable, tag in particular has ads everywhere in my city

>>14435368
Trust me bro, you are dodging a bullet if you don't buy them. Nobody gives a fuck about tag and longines.

Why Longines is the best watch brand on the market?

- Gorgeous, memorable logo and name
- The winged hourglass logo, which was registered in 1889, is the oldest unchanged yet still active registeredtrademark
- ETA began making custom movements reserved for Longines - technically in-house movements, since they’re part of the same manufacture
- The CEO of Longines, Walter von Känel, isn’t some hired manager, but worked 50 (!) years for the brand
- Annual calendar watch for only $2000
- Honest watchmaking: you’re paying for functionality, design and quality
- The Heritage chronograph might as well be the most beautiful watch in the world
- Rich history and heritage: founded 75 years before Rolex and 15 years before Omega
- Perfect price point, between posh luxury and cheapish brands
- Audrey Hepburn adored the brand. Buy it for her
- Albert Einstein adored the brand. So it’s stupid to hate it
- Introduced the very first watch with an LCD screen to the market
- Brought its first Quartz to the market in the same year as Seiko
- Brought United States watchmaking know-how to Switzerland
- „Elegance is an attitude“

You have all been shilled into not being able to enjoy things so you keep buying stuff due to a circular thought about what do others think of you and the shit you buy.

You insecure faggots, nobody gives a shit about you, so relax and enjoy.

Pic related, my cheapest watch and one of my favorites.

>>14435911
>see, im not afraid to walk around like a clown, so you shouldnt either!

Do I buy the black bay 58 or the GMT? Alternatively I have a £3,000 budget, what other options are there?

Preferably something similar. My wrists are 6.5 inches

>>14435926
You jelly, kiddo? I can walk around wearing the fun McFly watch absolutly fine, people love it and since they know im not cheap they ask about it.

Great conversation piece.

>>14435931
Without further ibfo about your curent collection and style, id say bb58.

>>14435947
Current have a Nomos club campus that was a gift from the company I work for and a Rado Captain Cook.

>>14435958
Then the GMT, since the bb58 would overlap much more with your current collection imo.

>>14435961
Mfw I wasn't expecting anyone to actually answer me.

Thanks bro!

>>14435958
Since you've already got a diver in the collection I'd suggest going for something with a complication. Picrel is under budget

>>14435984
The Tudor is much better and has the GMT complication... as much as i like thr Hamilton, a Longiness column wheel could be a better choice.

>>14435984
I've seen the Hamilton in person and I wasn't a huge fan.

>>14435995
>Longiness column wheel could be a better choice.
based and longinespilled

>>14436013
As said, that and a bb58 would be really redundant.

>>14435995
The Tudor is a great watch, but aesthetically, it's just a dive watch with a coloured bezel. I personally love the aesthetics of racing watches, it's certainly not a terrible movement, and it fills a niche the collection is missing imo. Also being under budget never hurts.
I don't like the look of the longines chronos with the exception of the big eye, is that still column wheel? If so seems like another good option

>>14434294
that its not worth the money

>>14434174
>>14434220
BASED

>>14436035
Yes, the Big Eye is column wheel... not my favorite iteration though (pic related); but despite my personal taste probably would fit Anon's collection as military/flight/chrono piece, ticks a lot of boxes.

>>14436073
Yes, is a very versatile and solid choice. Not my aesthetics tho.

My personal taste might be weird, bear in mind that for example currently the chornographs that im liking the most are quartz JLC Masters...

>>14436035
I did consider a speedmaster pro for a while but ultimately I decided I'd only ever get a panda dial or a snoopy.

>>14436065
That's just my shaky hand making it blurry you idiot

Finally found this after hunting for moths
15€ and works perfectly, non original leather strap but who cares

>>14436100
it looks shit regardless

>>14436109
Looks nice and at a good price as well, did you manage to kill all the moths?

>>14436109
Pretty based.

>>14436075
The first time I saw this watch I thought the compass ring was on some sort of axis to where it always pointed north. It’s only useful if you’re going on a path that you already know is a straight line , not to mention that any watch can be used as a sun dial during the day anyway

>>14436127
Compass * not sundial

>>14434333
I like boobs

>>14436013
How do you like the Captain Cook? Did you get a god deal?

>>14436134
Honestly love it mate. I paid £900 for it because the guy I bought it off was retarded and scratched up the lugs on the underside.
I normally wear it on a black nato, really makes the ceramic bezel pop.

>>14436140
That's a good price.

>>14436127
it's a bit of a gimmick, sure but its a fun one.

for £275 I don't think I could have done any better, though at the current prices they cost that much used (at which point, you are into Swatch group prices).

>>14436148
Meh, that’s seiko monster money, way cooler and many colorways and better proportions

I'm getting a new job with a £4k payrise and getting a £1000 bonus.
What's the best watch I can get for £2000? SMP 300M? Old school Datejust?

>>14436171
2000$ is probably the absolute worst price point. You can get a really crappy datejust maybe , or a very overpriced shitter

>>14435814
They are usually muscle men

>>14436176
>2000$ is probably the absolute worst price point.
It's the best price point for real man's watches.

>>14436171
SMP 300m is a good place to start. Old Datejusts are just hyped shit right now, should be no more than 1500€ in most cases.

>>14436180
Name 5

>>14436169
maybe if you buy used. those are £400+ new

>>14436176
What can I even expect with a watch from the 70s? I can't find any at all with papers so I guess eBay is a bad place to look?
Maybe I should stay under £1000 like an Oris?

>>14436180
it really isn't. not enough money for in-house, and an insane amount for an ETA shitter.

>>14436171
You can get a very good Longines or TAG Heuer
A meh Omega
Or a mega meh Rolex

>>14436171
>$2000
Get a Soiko or Tissoi, it’s too early for big boy watches

>>14436171

>>14435931
Don't buy a tudor

>>14436202
>an insane amount for an ETA shitter.
You know that pretty much all "in-house" chrono movements for $5-10k are slightly modified ETA shitters right?

>>14436235
Why though?

>>14436271
Tudor is the ultimate cope shitter

I love my cute french watch!

>>14436283
My original post also asked for suggestions. Let's see your collection buddy.

>>14436221
This one looks sick on an aftermarket beads of rice bracelet desu.

>>14436288
I like it, I hope you got the sapphire version. How's the accuracy?

>>14436113
Not the same

>>14436271
There’s two options when a normie sees a Tudor.

1. He’s never heard of Tudor and thinks it cost 250$ max
2. He knows that Tudor is a cheaper version of Rolex, and you’ve outed yourself as someone who wanted a Rolex but couldn’t afford it

If you don’t care about what Normies think of your watch then just buy it. For the record I think the blue chrono Tudor is really cool looking

>>14436306
I can't think of anything more bluepilled and cucked than buying (or not buying) a several thousand dollar watch based on what normies would think of it.

>>14436171

>>14436271
Tudor is a lesser brand, with defects made on purpose for market segmentation to justify Rolex pricing. Very nice watches... until you see the thicc, dull, ugly case sides done on purpouse for said reasons.

Is like buying anything Swatch that isnt Omega... or Longines stretching the thing. If you want a ETA movement you should buy a Longines (used to be Omega before it went upscale full in house co-axial).

So, Omega is better than Tudor because Swatch dont fuck them for said reasons since is the flagship brand of the group.

>>14436314
That’s the only reason people buy expensive watches, to flex. You can pretend in your make-believe world all you want

>>14436171
Blue dial is gorgeous

>>14436171
Last suggestion

This watch looks far better live, the dial plays with light

>>14436323
>Ugly case sides
Yeah huge difference m8

>>14436323
Funny that you mention Longines because they had EXACTLY the same thing happening to them

Just as the Rolex group nerfs Tudor on purpose to position its main brand higher, the Swatch Group nerfed Longines to position it below Omega. Before that, Longines was a competitor to even Rolex. Today, they’re not allowed to make watches cooler than the entry-level Omegas

What good watch brand, apart from japs, doesnt funnel money to masonry, jews, hideous corporations and the like? Like a brand you could be proud to give your money to, sort of.

>>14436341
That was the case when Omega used chronometer grade normal ETA movements. Now that they went in house, Longines is no longer a threat and suffers much less nerf. They are doing good soecially with column wheel and single pusher chronos, even with the VHP.

>>14436342
Rolex is a family business and not publicly listed

>>14436306
I mean based on the watches I own, I'm not really buying them for normies to recognise.
>>14436323
I did mention looking at the black bay fifty eight too. I don't think that has a big, ugly case?

>>14436350
Rolex sells more to chinks, niggers and oil Scheichs than any other brand, I am 101% sure

Ordered the constellation and returned it at zero loss and picked up a Plo Prof instead. 37% off. Arrives in 2 days.

Needed a crazy looking watch for fun.

>>14436326
I strongly disagree, I doubt most people would even know what a Tudor is. Of course I know Tudor, and I definitely wouldn't think "Too poor to buy a Rolex" if I saw someone wearing one.

>>14436376
If Rolex’s were 2k no one would want a Tudor and vice versa

>>14436350
It is not actually. Wilsdorf had no family, so Rolex is owbed by the very secretive Hans Wildorf Foundation, that controls the Geneva politics with all its implications...

>>14436424
Tudor is what Rolex used to be, same as Longines is what Omega used to be.

Both Rolex and Omega went up in everything like crazy since like the 2000s.

>>14436359
Love it. Almost impossybruh to pull off tho.

Looks like a mall shitter.

>>14436497
It doesn’t, though.

>>14436507
It literally does.

>>14436510
Because it doesn’t have “Rolex” on it?

>>14436513
Because it looks like a 150 dollar shitter a highschooler would wear.

>>14436527
I actually posted the wrong version, with the guilloche it looks fuzzy and overdesigned. I like it much more without.

But you’re still not right. Tissot chronographs for $350 look 3x cheaper IRL.

>>14436532
nasty shitter

I want a thin, smaller sized skin diver watch on a tropic rubber strap. Do I take my chances and go vintage? Buy a microshitter Halios Seaforth? Oris Diver 65?

>>14437356
The ploprof is definitely a guilty pleasure watch and I feel that one day enough will be enough and I'll just say fuck it and buy one. Between the capability, originality, and x factor alone, it's tough to argue against

recommend me a watch that looks similar to this but costs $100-300

Seiko sarb / cadisen diamond are somewhat similar, albeit a bit plain.

Into the garbage.

I'm realizing that now. It's supposedly a "top grade" eta movement but even my cheap ass seiko keeps better time.

Fake or real?

Im finishing my architecture degree and will soon be working on construction sites.

Which watches should I be looking at? G-shocks? Is there something less atrocious?

>>14437852
All-steel Pepsi Rolex GMT Master.

that nigga just graduated with an architecture degree hes got no money for that shit

>>14437868
Then he can fuck off and buy a G-Shock and stop being a little bourgeois baby boy.

Guys, i need your opinion on Rado. I know this one got an in-house movement but is it any good?

>>14437907
yeah its about 12secs a month +-2

>>14437844

>>14437909
well thats what they stated but good to know its just a modified ETA

>>14437913
thats why i‘m asking. It is so confusing just because some of their pieces are really bad and expensive

>>14437930
Don’t fret over it, the majority of Swiss watches below $5k have modified ETAs

There’s little economic and practical reasoning to make your own movement when you’re a mid-range small brand

>>14437931
Rado specialized on unusual materials and jewelry in their watches, that may cause the mark-up

It’s an offensively mediocre brand imo, but I don’t know much about their strategy

>>14437922
>>14437836
It is legit

>>14435590
Aren't they more like 6-7K? you can see them go down to 5.5K every once in a while

Most YouTube videos about replicas make me want a replica even more.

The fuck is this?

>>14437910

>>14438015
I have a rep and it’s amazing what finish and quality you get for $250 compared with a $3000 genuine.
The movement is the shit part unfortunately. Some have genuine ETAs though.

Bottom text

Someone order the BB58 Replica and let me know if it’s any good.
Wondering if I can save myself like $2000 and get the same effect....

>>14438058
There is one regular with that rep, he has tested it for a year or two now and it has served him well.

>>14438031
This!
The whole market is just for good goys. They get harassed by marketing until they think that it is okay to pay absurd amounts of money for that shit.
Just ask some normie about rolex, most will say that it's a good investment because the (((press))) told them so.
Also, keep in mind that the swiss industry is a oligopoly and they mostly agree on prices so that the whole industry won't kill itself with competition.
Also
>muh swiss made
Swiss law demands that a watch is only made up of 60% swiss parts in order to be allowed to have that label. So 40% is from some shithole.
If i had the money i couldn't calmly hand it over knowing all this shit and it's just the tip of the ice(((berg))).

>>14438070
Nah I mean the 58 specifically. The rep only came out recently and the V2 was like three weeks ago.

>>14438074
Fucking wisdom.
Understanding this is the true redpill in watch collecting and most of us will never truly realize it.

>>14438070
The BB is the greatest watch on Earth.

>>14438082
Thank you. I'm glad that you see it like this. I wrote similar posts in the past and other anons too. It seems that there are quite a few redpilled guys here.
But that's just the result of lurking, after some time you will get some info about the industry and then you start asking questions.
The first time i had this was when i saw some pic about the swiss watch groups.
Of course almost every other industry has this kind of thing and big groups buy the smaller ones up. But other products are not that expensive so there must be fuckery on a big scale.

>>14437987
Cool thx brah

>>14437264
Seriously you could get a nice Lange for a little more

>>14438099
I’m with you mate.

I’m surprised more people here don’t get replicas. You’d think 4chan of all places wouldn’t get cucked by corporations.

Woah. The first time I see a nice looking Tudor

And it’s not even real LMAO

>>14438115
Wondering about the same thing. But i guess too many npc's are on this board, they define themselves by luxury watches that they don't even own. But it's this retarded "maybe someday i will" mentality.
They think that people will give a single fuck about them and are scared to wear a rep so they don't have to explain themselves.

Some are concerned about not being able to service the movement.
But i think that there always will be a service center that will do a simple revision and relube.
And if the whole thing breaks, big deal, just ask the watch shop to replace the movement with some fitting miyota movement. Or buy the whole thing again.
But the movement replacing thing is of course a bit problematic, depending on the complications of the rep. Some reps come with a miyota or miyota copy. People just don't want to go thru the trouble, i guess.

Look at the new Daytona replicas for $750. The movement is 1:1.

>>14438099
You literally posted proof that competition exists: LVMH, Swatch Group, Richemont, Kering, Rolex all compete for the same clientele.

In the fashion watch sector, competition is even more fierce.

But keep justifying your crimes out of narcissism.

Damn I hate that fags voice

ITT: Retards that think $200 reps made by Chinese slaves have the same finishing and QC as $10,000 Swiss watches.

>>14438193
it's interesting that you can get a rep 90% as good as the real thing for only 1% of the price. It goes to show just how badly rolex are overcharging for their products.

>>14438167
Holy fuck.
Buy it.
What’s the grand Seiko he mentions?

>>14438087
Nice Orient my dude

>>14438210
>Buy it.
Unfortunately I can't import it since they confiscate them at customs in my country and sue you for trying.

Also, there's going to be a new version where they'll fix some of the stuff mentioned in the video, it's supposedly coming out in a month or two.

>>14437775

The caption cook would be a sick watch if the price was either lower or the specs were higher. I agree with previous reply's Christopher ward recommendation though, good bang per buck

Casio duro. It's my fishing / freediving / general outdoors watch and it's served me well for the money.

>>14438208
Holy shit, you mean luxury car, watch, and clothing brands charge more for what they're worth? And th-they even can be imitated with cheaper parts and sold at less of a markup?? Fuck me, you shitheads have it all figured out. Guess there's no reason to buy anything genuine anymore

>>14438282
There's a point where spending the additional 10 grand isn't worth it and rolex have arguably passed that point.

>>14438297
Yeah, clearly Rolex is trying to upscale too quickly and they're fucking up their brand image. The idea is to get the genuine watch you can afford instead of a fake Rolex. If you're wearing an all gold Daytona and drive a 1999 Corolla, people will get that it's fake anyways

>>14438143
Nice, thx.
>>14438153
I believe you even without looking, the replica market has improved a lot in the last few years.
>>14438155
Well, it looks like competition but they can agree on prices in certain segments or that the whole industry does not get too innovative so that all the groups can stay afloat.

Well, i guess that if i would look closer into the details i would discover that i'm partly incorrect. But what would i gain from it? Just the knowledge that we are not getting scammed by 50% of the industry but only by 30%?

I'm still not going to pay thousands just for a brand. The manufacturing cost are not that high, especially when the movement is not in-house.
The real crime is manipulating the average consumer with decades of marketing and lies.

If i could, i would get a 1:1 replica without an brandname, i just want to own the design, i don't care about the brand, their history, how people react to that watch, etc, i just want a watch for myself.

>>14438193
Thanks for consuming and financing R&D of newer models, so that i can enjoy thos i like for 200$.
You are a good paypiggy.

>>14438231
Honestly it’s my favourite watch and I’m the most satisfied with this than any other.
Here it is in Singapore with me on vacation.

wist watch check

>>14438282
This is the definition of brand-cucked. I guess you’re the sort of guy to be “proud” of spending $6k on a watch.

>>14438217
Germany?

I read in a comment on yt that there are trusted dealers in germany that get the watches directly from factories and send them over england.

I can remember they said to Google "trusted dealer RWI", some even have warranties.
Or look out for replica YT channels and ask around on their insta or in the comments.
I have not ordered a replica so no idea how it all works. Maybe next year i'll get one.

>mfw i have to find smuggler rings just to buy a replica but illegal immigrants with no documents are welcomed in droves

>>14438322
Yeah, because I know it was actually made by the company, actually has resale value, is legal, isn't made in a Chinese shitshop, and says the direct inverse about the owner that your poorly justified shitter does.

>>14438312
That's gorgeous. Do you have a lume shot?

>>14438344
if a chinese shitshop can can make a near perfect replica for dirt cheap then how much is the original actually worth?

>>14438252
That is tudorfag bait.

PROPER NEW THREAD WHEN? SOMEONE MAKE IT HAPPEN

>>14438354
> Chinese shitshop
> near perfect
Ah yes, nothing exudes quality control and customer assurance like an illegal product made by a miscellaneous Chinese laborers. No matter how hard you try to sell value for money on cheap shitters, no one will buy it. You're arguing for an objectively worse product and ignoring the entire point of a luxury item. Fake and genuine will never be comparable, and only the poorest, laziest, cheapest babbling retards would compliment you for owning a knock off.

>>14438344
Also don't forget that the stuff written on the watch will actually be true, like most importantly water resistance.

>>14438366
>Fake and genuine will never be comparable
We're not in the 80's anymore grandpa. The gap is always getting smaller. Rolex continue to rest on their laurels cranking out the same old product while the replicas get closer and closer. There have been stories of AD's being unable to distinguish the fake from the genuine for years now.

>>14438344
>isn't made in a Chinese shitshop
Yeah about that...

@14438378
>thinking ADs know anything
>thinking chinkshit is quality
>incorrect use of apostrophe

Opinion discarded.

>>14438193
couldn’t get any more accurate but people on 4chan don’t care about enslavement or geniune crafmanship. The one that got money buys rolex and laughs at haute horologe brands in the same breath (investment bla bla) and the poor one is a incel who couldn’t even afford the real thing if he saved up for it his whole life. Of course these people will motivate each other to buy and accept fakes because they couldn’t get anything better themselves. Also i could never trust a person who isn‘t real to themselves hence supporting fakes. Just ignore them like everyone else in their live.

>>14438378

You take life too seriously.

>>14434174
So you can only get these in Japan now?
Why did they stop production?

>>14438462
Most likely to keep supply lower and prices higher. Same reason the 16610 sub isn't going to be a collectable any time soon. They're still valuable, but there are just too many out there and I think that's what seiko is attempting to avoid (on a smaller scale, of course)
