Who here is taking the citizen pill? Quartz? Good. Accurate and cheap to fix. Case finishing is far beyond seiko it's not even funny. Citizen also know how to design a watch to look good. Citizen also have the best titanium in the industry (excluding de bethune obviously). It took me a while to get here but once you go citizen pilled you never look back. If anyone here is a refu/g/ee and has seen the picture of linux distros hopping everyone in /wt/ is on arch linux or some gentoo shit. Us citizen bros are like the enlightened who went through all that bullshit and settled back onto ubuntu.

Why does hardly anyone ever discuss straps/bracelets on here?

>>14718821
Kinda happy with the ones I have. Had to get a replacement for my Helson, so I'm the meantime I'm using a NATO strap, which looks a lot worse than I thought it would even I bought the strap. Don't rightly see the appeal in NATOs desu, apart from maybe adding some splashes of colour they look bad, make the watch build way taller than a regular strap, and they feel cheap too, even the leather ones.
Got a Nomos Tangente 38 coming in one of these days, really curious about the leather on that.

huh?

>>14718916

???

a power reserve is more useful on an automatic so that you know when to stop winding

>>14718916
are you retarded?

>>14718921
>>14718923

I don't get it

you don't have to wind automatic watches

left or right?

>>14718937
Lol nice bait

Best HQs in the business? For me, it's swatch group

>>14718937

you don't have to, but (with all but the most low-end automatic movements) you can. the power reserve helps show not just how much time you have left, but also when you should stop winding

>>14718962
But can an automatic watch achieve her maximum power reserve by just by being worn?

>SOLID GOLD

>>14719260
>Rolex's most complicated movement
Nope

Why do they make mens watches so god damn huge nowdays?
I think it looks ridiculous when the watch itself is as wide as the persons wrist.

>>14719238
HUUUUUUUULKKKKK

Anyone own a Revue Thommen?
What's the verdict on them, yay or nay?

>>14719342
I have no clue what that is

>>14718821
I brought it up a couple of times here and people generally didnt seem to care. Im still looking for the best possible modern bracelets to replace the crappy 80/90s bracelets on my 16570 explorer and Tudor sub.

Closest I found was the strapcode bracelet for the vintage Rolex sub that fit my Tudor sub pretty well, but I don't like the overall design of the bracelet. I just ordered the new oyster style bracelet they released which should be closer to what I want.

Still havent found anything for my 16570 unfortunately

>>14719342

looks like another 2893-2 GMT piece? i have a couple of watches with 2893-2 movements and i like them. it's my favorite out of the GMT movements i have (none of which are european in-house GMT movements)

>>14719353
I almost thought it was a YEMA

The hulk always looks better in person. I wasn’t too sure on it until I was able to see one up close.

can anyone tell me what kind of casio this is?

>>14719663

that looks like an old LED watch (push the button to display the time). i don't know if casio made those; how did you determine it's a casio?

>>14719672
it takes two batteries that I don't have atm, n I'm assuming rly because of the casio box

>>14719208
Yay if under 400usd and checked by a proper watch repairer

>>14719598
is the dial sunburst?

Is wearing this watch fedora tier? It looks kind of old fashioned but I still like it

>>14719741

I really hate not having the curved ends on a metal strap. So I always just stick with the manufacturers strap. Unfortunately I need a new one and not sure what to get. Most metal straps out there seem really cheap and its leaving me wondering if there is a catch like that they are hollow links or something.

>>14720433
>looks like ass
Hmm I wonder why they always sell out immediately

>>14719260
The Miamimaster 2 is a thoroughly vulgar and disgusting watch.

>>14720132
I'd wear it.

>>14720470

I like this watch with this band. I like super minimalist watches and black/dark grey with lighter tan leather.

>>14720522
You can’t even afford it lmao

>>14720434
How thicc is that atrocity on the right?

>>14719822
Looks like a Rolex/10 congrats

>>14720540

minimalism this extreme comes across as aggressive and flashy

>>14720543
pretty sure it's 14 and a bit with the shroud.
double dome too

>>14720550
Do you think it would still be appropriate for a business setting or are minimalist watches more used for casual settings? I want to get one suitable for work.

>>14720559

that watch would work in the sort of office where people wear jeans

>>14719815
The fake the poo was wearing the other day definitely wasn't

NH35 is such a based movement

>>14720132
it's based, I love it. DId you ssee the 2019 halloween one? Chaykin is top tier

>>14720458
Hard to find ones that are gud. Meyhofer Super Engineers cost 50 bucks, but the screws dont quite fit the treads so they stick out, the edges of the individual links are sharp and just not comfy. When you wear it higher up, it cuts circulation, when you wear it loose, it flops down and hinders wrist movement. Im sure they are not hollow, as the bracelet itself is heavy as shit.
Then you have the other end of the spectrum, with 600 buck Damasko bracelets for 1k watches and whatnot. IMO, thats just being jewish.
Personally, the best fitting metal bracelet I experienced, was oddly on a titanium Casio. The bracelet hanging somewhat loosely, but the smooth links giving way allowing the (super light) watch to move out of the way when moving the wrist.
Also, metal bracelets get dirty relatively fast, show scratches and sometimes have to even be adjusted according to the climate you are in, but thats not that big of a deal.

However, I wouldnt take anyones praises/shit talk about anything, for anything. In the end, you will probably buy a few straps and bracelets and decide what fits you best (and perhaps rotate by mood or occasion).

>>14720559
It will work just fine. You have people in banks and offices wearing smartwatches, so I think it's safe to say that unless you turn up with a Tuna, German artillery watch or some atrocity from SISU or S-Force.

>>14720836
>you turn up with a Tuna
I wear mine with a suit and tie.

>>14720836
>german artillery watch
Talk to me.

>>14720823
Ive had the best experience with strapcode bracelets. Theyre just chinkshit, but at least you know what youre getting with them. If you paid $50 for the bracelet in your pic you probably should have gone for the strapcode variant. a bit more expensive, but wouldnt have any of the problems you mentioned. plus would have included a higher quality milled clasp.

>>14718821
If you don't have an alligator leather strap on your watch you are a disgusting fucking pleb.

Yay citizen! It proved to be a good holiday watch when I was in Mexico in August. Lots of swimming and diving and despite no screw in crown, the 200m resistance proved to be reliable.

>>14720836
>people in banks and offices wearing smartwatches

just because they ignore the dress code doesn't mean you should

Thoughts on this watch/ oris in general?

>>14721373

there's a dissonance in that design between the traditional dial and handset, and the modern humanist sans-serif arabic indexes. i don't like it

Lets be real here, is there any brand that can claim as pungent a history as Rotary?
This watch is a modern classic and should be in every collection honestly.

Why don't 2nd and 3rd tier luxury brand watches fall to nearly 0 in the used/vintage market?

Like who's gonna get a Piaget or Blancpain or Breguet over a new Rolex OP/old Datejust at $4000-5000? These things should be trading at $1000-2000

>>14721618

...could it be that the youtube shills are lying?

>>14721623
Lying about what?
Ofc these watches probably retailed for $10K at one point but the lack of real brand recognition/prestige (they're not Patek), the decline of dress and sub-36mm watches, and the availability of ROLEX pieces at prices below them should drive these shitters down
Yet they ask for like $7000 for a Blancpain or Breguet ultra thin from 1990? Makes no sense, they should be racing to let go of these shitters for like $2000

>>14721637

haha it'll come to you. maybe

>>14721638
Yes some "Youtube shill" has something to do with actual watch market activity on ebay, chrono24, hodinkee, etc. Clearly prices are fake and everyone is in on it
Hold onto that Ulysse Nardin it'll be worth something one day

>>14721612

Does anyone have input on pocket watches? I wear a 3-piece suit every day as an attorney. My daily wristwatch leaves dark marks on the a inside of my cuffs so I want to shift my weekday carry.
Pic related, is it shit? I'd like to keep it under $1000.

>>14721688
Bonus for companies that let me engrave. I want to put my logo on it.

>>14721688
I have no idea how the world of pocket watches is, but knowing nothing I would say to stick to the same brands that are good for wristwatches.
For cheap you could try vintage idk.
Please post outfit I wanna see how Chad you look in a three-piece.

>>14721689
engraving ain't gonna be cheap, if you're a lawyer you should be able to splurge a bit but I'm guessing commission pieces are gonna be expensive

>>14721694
>>14721688

good new pocket watches are extremely rare. nearly everything is poor-quality chinese

>>14721688
Almost no one wears or wants pocket watches these days. Most of the dealers specialising in them have gone out of business but that does mean they are cheap, especially vintage ones.

>>14721688
Don't do it.
Surely you're aware that the mobile phone is the modern pocket watch.

>>14721701
But he's a special unique snowflake who can't wear a watch!

patek pockets are going for 37k wtffffffffffffffffcvcvvsvcsfuifipuh;

Patek are the exception but even some of their vintage pocket watches can be picked up for a few thousand.

>>14721704

>>14721708
how the fuck do they retail a Nautilus for 15 and a pocket for 37? what are these mountain jews on? I'll check how much they go for on chrono24

>>14721721
Basic supply and demand. Their is very little demand so they make very few each year so there is zero economy of scale. The kind of person who orders a brand new yellow gold PP pocket watch would not blink at that kind of price.

>>14721752
I want to see the three piece. Or the vest at least.

I know no one's going to believe me, but I just bought I watch from one of the big three.

I'll post photos once they ship it to me.

Honestly, the hardest part was the my bank asking me why I wanted to wire a bunch of money to a bank in Switzerland. Apparently, "It's my money let me do what I want with it" isn't the right response, because then they just won't do it.

>>14721781
Which watch? New or pre-owned? Did you checkout the dealer first?

>>14721781
Which one? Seiko, orient or citizen?

>>14721781
This is the most alarming thing about banks. One time a bank manager told me they can't let me withdraw a small amount like 9k without a good reason I took all my money and left the same day.
FUCK banks.

>>14721790
>Which watch?
It's from Vacheron. I'll show you when I get it.
>New or pre-owned?
New. I fucking hate anything used, I don't know why. It's a real problem that I'll never get over.
>Did you checkout the dealer first?
I bought it straight from Vacheron's website. You literally just email them, ask for the wiring instructions, and they'll send you the watch.

>>14721802
I actually had to talk with four different people at my bank over a 3 week period to explain why I wanted to wire $24,000 to some random bank in Switzerland. Even when I sent them the invoice for the watch they just kept refusing. It was fucking retarded. They just kept saying, "Every wire is subject to OUR approval and we don't approve it". Fuck off, it's my money. I should be allowed to wire money to North Korea if I want to (although I don't).

>>14721808
In your shoes I'd close my account immediately. Who the fuck do they think they are?

>>14721808
Money laundering regulations are a thing. Still, once you show an invoice etc they should clear it.

>>14721811
>>14721808

I'm pretty sure if you call any bank and ask them to wire $24,000 dollars to a Swiss bank account they're going to ask you a lot of questions.

I feel like it'd be worse if they asked literally nothing.

>>14721811

they are probably obeying laws related to foreign transfers of large sums

>>14721818
go fuck yourself you boot licking piece of shit. If you can prove you are the owner of the account you should be able to do whatever you want with your own money without question.
>>14721819
The figure is over 10k in my country. Fucking me around over a small sum like 9k is absolutely unacceptable.

>>14721808
What shitty bank are you using?? Having a (fraud) check for a large transfer is normal but once you give approval / confirmation that should be it.

I wasn't even aware you could order from the VC website. I'm curious why you ordered from Switzerland rather than a boutique or dealer in your own country? You are going to get hit by import tax and duty. Also buying from a store means you can get a discount. Vacheron depreciate 25-30% on a new purchase so personally I'd go grey market or pre-owned.

>>14721824

i agree. if the bank asks questions about $9k i would close the account immediately

>>14721824
If there are no laws relating to large sums then we get
>Money laundering
>Organised crime
>Corruption in business and politics

The laws are there to ensure the money you get from daddy's business doesn't get protection money taken out of it.

>>14721828
The thing is the manager didn't ask questions she straight up told me she can't let me withdraw 9k without a good reason. I told heer it was MY money, abused her a bit and closed my account on the spot.

>>14721808
Shoved 7k down the toilet buying the worst of the big 3 lmao

>>14721831
Are you fucking retarded? Corruption is at an all time high. Today it might be 10k, tomorrow it will be 5k and then 1k.
You're a fucking idiot. The truth is tptb don't want you buying shit with cash they want to know every purchase you make.

>>14721843
Your the retard who doesn't understand how the world works. Tends to happen when daddy pays for everything huh?

I bet you bought the manual wind patrimony didn't you? Could quite afford the auto?

>accuses others of not knowing how the world works.

>>14721872
You bought the manual wind rose gold shitter didn't you?

>>14721868
If you plan to keep the watch forever then it doesn't matter.

> Why do people even care about this?
Because many people who buy expensive watches do sell them at a later date to buy or trade for the next new watch. It's reassuring to know that watch retains it value while still being able to wear it.

>>14721878
I wouldn't buy anything in rose gold or manual wind and you probably couldn't get anything in rose gold for 9k you're a fucking idiot.

The Cellini line has never been popular and dress watches in general are not hot right now. That particular moonphase watch looks great in pictures but I've seen it irl and it was a bit of a let down. It looks and feels kind of cheap and the white dial doesn't work.

>>14721919

Where do people find these "cheap" second hand watches?

I look on eBay and chrono 24 and the prices are relatively high for what I'm interested in. I could wait for a sale and get new for not that much more.

Most of the used watches are fairly old (or more often than not they don't say how old they are) these would more than likely need servicing once you get them which pretty much strikes out all your savings of getting new.

I'm only looking in the 1000-2500 range for reference.

>Where do people find these "cheap" second hand watches?

A lot of people lie about the prices they get on second hand watches.

I don't know why.

>>14722622
Depends entirely on what specific ref you want. There are deals if you keep lurking various sites. For example I got this megasonic for about $500.

why are daytonas still selling above msrp?

>>14722645
>A lot of people lie about the prices they get on second hand watches.
This is true, it's so incredibly dumb, everyone wants to appear like this clever bargain hunter who makes deals that no one else can I guess.

>>14722645
Because the only way for someone to get IRL (you)s from their purchase is to tie it to a story about what an amazing bargain they got it for. Nobody cares if you got an old watch for equal or more than its worth

>>14722645
>>14722666
It's not just used watches. People lie about AD prices all the time too.

>hurr, I walked into a Patek boutique and got this new watch 20% off :)
>but anon, boutiques never give discounts; the only discount they may give you 3% to offset wire fees
>lol naw man, I got this 25% off, actually. man what a deal :))))))))

>>14722739
None of those. I don't know his name. But hes a fat boomer that is occasionally on Archie's live stream. Hes american. He is disgusting to watch and his opinions are dreadful. He actually put me off watch collecting.

Anybody ever just sit and daydream about having a really nice watch and doing all kinds of exciting/interesting things wearing it, then remember your life is an empty, meaningless existence and you're so lazy and depressed that you'll never have what you dream of?

>>14722791
no

why do you continue to post that absolute shitter watch?

Yeah. My life is shit, I wish I could travel or have a job or have friends or anything. Or live in the US at least. But I'm too old and ugly and poor.

>>14722817
those don't exist.

Any Omegabros in here? I was looking at this vintage Constellation and just wanted a second opinion before I pulled the trigger.

i fucking love telling time bros.

Will there be a limited edition Seamaster for the new Bond movie?

The current 50th anniversary one that they have looks incredible but to me it's far too expensive.

Is there any stores that have Sinn or Hamilton in Australia?

I like to try on before I buy.

>>14723025
So you think this new one won't be far too expensive?
Care to explain?

>>14723031

Quik wist watch check phuckers! I'm wearing my BREIT LING STEEL FISH.

>>14723048

(B)ASED

>>14722213
I love the brown chronograph they make but feel like it's a little too expensive

>>14723032
They might not make it limited to 700 units and therefore not out such a markup on it.

>>14723048
Not bad, they didn't even cut off any numbers... except for 7 I guess. Still surprising for Bretardling.

>>14723087
Ok

I pulled the trigger on a gshock gw5000 jr1 and a sinn556i, howd i do? Havent arrived yet

>will never own this

JUST KILL ME

>>14723157
It's cheap on the used market.

>>14723157
You can’t work 2 weeks?

Is there any opinions on oris as a brand?

How do you go about getting straps for thinfs like the Aquis? Seems like you'd be stuck with their bands

>>14722213
The bezel lock is fucking dumb.

>>14723177
It's just a low tier "almost luxury but not quite" brand, it's irrelevant unless you're in some poor shithole country where anything above $200 is considered a respectable watch.

>>14722095
Sure they do ;)

>>14723221
I'm more after an opinion of quality of the watch and the finish compared to a say tag, gs or omega at a similar price.

I'm not concerned so much with what some watch neckbeard thinks of the brand in terms of how much something costs

>>14723177

Oris and Sinn are probably the worst beginner's trap. Got shill like crazy on forums but really they're all derivative entry level rubbish. Popular with poor hipsters and accountants who can't quite get their finances together and step up to something more solid and respectable. If you can't afford a $3k+ watch, just get a $300 Seiko or Citizen and be content with it. They're perfectly fine watches for nearly everyone. Just don't waste your money on an Oris. Pic related, a Tudor Pelagos is a good example of a solid piece and can be had pre-owned in $2.8k range.

>>14723261

>muh finishing

Reddit beta cuck spotted.

>>14722791
AAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>14723278
>pre-owned
Just admit it and say "used". What about Damasko, tho? Disregarding their 600 buck meme bracelet.

>>14723278
Thanks. I've certainly noticed how much Sinn is shipped considering they have so many Forum threads about misalight date wheels and other issues

>>14723340

Damasko also falls in the derivative entry level almost luxury. But if I must buy a $1-2k range watch I would absolutely go with Damasko over Sinn, Oris, and a bunch of other microbrand trash. At least Damasko isn't too pretentious, and their quality actually solid. Sinn has the worst track record of early failures in my experience and I absolutely will never drink their "muh German engineer" kool-aid. Also met the guys from Damasko at Wind Up event, they were the most down to earth unpretentious guys in the venue. I had a new found respect for the brand just by how they conducted themselves among a sea of microbrand hipsters.

>>14723362

sinn is "almost luxury", damasko is "almost sinn"

>>14723371

Sure keep telling yourself that. Morons like you love drinking your own kool-aid, buy rubbish and then come on Chinese under water basket weaving forum like this to seek validation for your bad decision. And cycle repeats. I'll just let you be. I don't care enough to buy either brands either ways.

>>14723362
Which type to get?

>>14722507
Grand Seiko

>>14723416
Both look like cheap Chinese plastic.

Hey I'm Chad, wanna fuck?

Can someone simply explain movements to me.

Tissot Powermatic, 21,600 BPH and a 80 hour reserve

Seiko 6r15, 21,600 BPH and a 50 hour reserve

Tissot on paper has a better accuracy as well.

>>14723177
This
>>14723278
Well said, I was thinking the same thing, Pelagos is a great place to start, if your only with the thickness. Don't go over £300 for a watch unless £2500 - £3000 used.
