/fa/ - Fashion

Regarding new rolexes, they are made to be more and more durable with the higher grades of steel and ceramics, so there's not going to be much aging or patina. Do you guys think they'll be as collectible?

Grandpa gave me an Invicta for Christmas...

It's a fucking shitter.

Get a Choodah.

>>14887900
It's got a lot of things going for it technically and is very overbuilt. I personally love Sinn's pilot's watches and have always wanted a 104 ST SA I W but I know that the 556 would probably fit my 17.5cm wrist better. Another good option is the Damasko DA47, right around the same price range, also made in Germany and totally overbuilt just like the Sinn. Either one of those would be watches that you'd only need to service every 5-7 years and will still be a great present to give to your son when he graduates highschool.

OK I WANT TO SEE YOUR MOST EXPENSIVE WATCH TIMESTAMP IT AND SHOW US NIGGERSNOBS

What do you think of my new black Citizen /fa/? Should I exchange it for a silver colored watch?

>visit uncle for Christmas
>he’s a prestigious doctor
>see him wearing a Patek Calatrava
>compliment his watch, show him my Seiko and chuckle about how cheap it is in comparison
>he tells me that he had a Seiko SKX and it was his favorite watch because of its cost and durability

Why should I drop thousands of dollars on a watch if I am not interested in showing off wealth? I would like to own a Rolex or Patek, but there prices are so astronomically high that it seems like you’re cucking yourself if you actually buy one.

>inb4 hurrr poorfag

>>14887950
im a poorfag myself so i just buy watches that fit my budget and treat them as tools like the one i posted >>14887920
planning to buy a hamilton field watch next year but thats about it.

>>14887934
I don't like it

>>14887950
Something like a Sub is a one time purchase that will last you a lifetime. If you wear a Sub every day for ten years the cost per wear is only $2 a day, it's not really a lot of money to spend on something if you enjoy it a lot.

fuck... cant decide between the sarb033 or a hamilton khaki.. or maybe a black HKED

what do i do /wt/

>>14888008
have you tried them all on your wrist desu?

>>14888018
HKED is impossible to try, i think. I'm gonna try the khaki in the next few days & I'm looking around for a local sarb

post your 'stocks

>>14888022
What model is this? Looks like the K-35

Best watch I should buy to pretend like I'm well off? Budget is 6k but I want something that will say, "wow he's rich"

>>14888040

>>14888046
I'm not sure what that is. I'm looking for the watches that will make people stare or say damn he's balling.

>>14888054

>>14888062
My budget is 6k

>>14888068

Explorer 114270 or Explorer 2 Polar?

>>14888118
114270 without question.

>>14887900
based and german pilled, would pair nicely with a schnitzel and some lederhosen

>>14888062
awful, just awful

So despite sending my mom a link to the exact watch I wanted (which is 40mm) she ended up getting me a 44mm variant I didn’t even know existed. Will it look goofy on my 7 inch wrist? It feels too big and takes up the whole top of my wrist

Just picked this one up. Lovin it so far

Just picked this one up. Lovin it so far

JUST BUY A GOOD FAKE LITERALLY NO ONE CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE

>>14888144
hell yeah. can't take my eyes off the black chrono version

>>14888185
But the most important person who actually cares would know. Me.

>>14888040
Why pretend to be rich especially since over-spending 6k will make you even less rich?

>>14888022

>>14888118

114270. Better watch to start with, I think. You can always get the polar later

>>14888343
Stunner.

>>14888040
Only a Rolex will instantly sow envy in the rotten heart of the most miserable poorfags who can't be happy for others success. Few will think "wow he's rich" though, even less will even notice what you wear.
A fine time piece should first and foremost be for your personal enjoyment.

>>14888421
There's no Rolex you can buy for 6k that can be used to flex on people.

>>14888428
6k is still a lot for most people. Everyone knows Rolex is expensive even if it's just a simple OP.

>>14887950
Why not both? The SKX was also my first "serious" watch I bought with my first money. It's the shitter closest to my heart.

Which one one these watches should I wear to a date? Which one would look better to a girl who has no idea about watches?

>>14888486
I'd wear the americaine, it's more of a statement than the VC. The nautilus if you want to come off as a cartel boss from the 80s

>>14888486
Depends on the girl and your outfit. Women mostly care about what looks good. But I say Cartier as well.

>>14888486
Cartier, girls know the brand from their diamond jewellery.

R8 my new acquisition/wt/

>>14887903
Lmao tudor

>>14888486

The Cartier. It's the better conversation piece in case she notices it and asks about it because of the shape and the blue sapphire crown. Think about them in the most basic way, just like a normal non watch person would.

From my experience in showing watches to some friends and other people that ask me, no one would give the Nautilus a second glance and the Vacheron with the sub seconds looks too vintage.

>>14887934
Exchange it for an eco drive model

>>14888138
If it doesn't feel uncomfortable (which a 44 certainly might) then keep it, it will look fine.

>>14888144
perfect watch, except for the movements

Why is it that everyone who wears calculator watches are so based?

Anything I should know about the Oris Aquis 39.5mm green dial and the Stowa flieger 36mm handwind?

I'm torn between these two and I've seen a bunch of reviews about both watches but I can't decide. It kind of bothers me that the Stowa has a crown position that does nothing in the no date version and I can't see the Oris in person because there's no green dial version in the store where I live.

>>14888536
Made In China

>>14888118

I think I could never get tired of the Explorer 1, it's so basic and simple yet so perfect that if I were to buy one I would keep it forever, I can't say the same about the Explorer 2. Also it may only be just me but whenever I see a Explorer 2 I always think about how much better the GMT looks.

>>14888535
Carpenter/Joiner here, it's extremely ergonomic and looks effay as fuck so I rep one all the time.

>>14888486
only one she'll know is cartier
VC is IMO the best looking one there though

>>14888511
4/10

>>14888536
>It kind of bothers me that the Stowa has a crown position that does nothing in the no date version
And it should bother you.
I hate this lazy, cheap tactic. Don't accept it. If they're going to offer a nodate watch they should use a nodate calibre.
>>14888538
Well, yeah this too.
Stowa, by the owner's own pointed "non-admission" no less. Story: someone bought a cheap chinese bauhaus/nomos ripoff that came with a stowa caseback, because stowa also makes a nomos knockoff model (which is in turn an old lange knockoff but that's another story). Owner of stowa left looking like a moron when he couldn't say anything about the fact that his german watch cases were being used by some no name chinese brand. Thing is, there are some german case makers still around so there's no excuse besides being bargain basement penny pinching cheap for outsourcing to China.

Oris there's no concrete data, only that because of the price point at which they sell their stuff it must be mostly chinese in order for them to stay competitive and alive at all.
I've only handled the a larger stowa flieger. Nothing really to say about it I wasn't particularly impressed.

Honestly I'd say go with the Oris. Green's a nice change from the typical black dialed/bezel sub knockoff and if you want a flieger, I'd say shoot high for the IWC mark whatever or go cheap like one of those lower tier laco's or one of the chinese brands that cost even less. Stowa's in this no-where middle ground.

If you really must a flieger in that middle bracket, but don't want the stupidity of the date/dateless dial movement thing, Archimede have a 39mm flieger with an actual german made case, date at 6, for less than that 36mm stowa, which just comes across as a rip to me by comparison.

Go the oris diver.

>>14888040
A day-date 36mm head will cost around 6K. Really, any Rolex Oyster will work.

Hublot is an option (cringe)

>>14887898
Your grandfather sounds like a nice guy and you should appreciate him and his gift, you little ungrateful prick

>>14887898

Is a new SARB033 worth it these days when they cost £350? Either the SARB033 or I was thinking about getting a 34mm Presage because I have skinny bitch wrists.

Are Hamilton watches based?

>>14888575

>Stowa, by the owner's own pointed "non-admission" no less.

That sounds dodgy. The IWC is way above what I want to spend on watches just yet, specially with the flieger, which is something I like but it's not something I would consider the most important piece of a collection to be spending that kind of money. I'll get the Oris in the next few months (unless something that I like much more in that price range comes up which is highly unlikely), I hope I can get a good deal. So far I've seen them new around 1400€.

Thanks

>>14888642
Yeah all swatchgroup brands are especially blancpain

>>14888428
normies don't know about watch prices. Lameme Jackson just bought his offensive linemen ugly basic bitch datejusts and people were losing their minds not knowing you can buy 5 of them for 30k.

>>14888630
Well I found a pretty good deal on the 34mm version of this, I'm a bit torn at the moment. This has a nicer dial than the SARB but a worse movement.

Not really sure what to get now.

>>14887881
Got gifted my grandad's watches yesterday, cant find the exact models for either but the GP was bought in 64 and the Bulova is from 74, don't think they're worth a huge amount but it meant a lot to be given them.

>>14888700
They have personal worth. Are they running well? (especially that accutron).
You have a dress watch and a casual watch down pat.
You don't need anymore.

>>14888713
Yeah I'm not bothered about monetary value. Accutron needs a battery change so I'm not sure yet. The other runs fast but I'm going to see about getting it serviced.

>>14888734

The best watch is one with a story. They look great to boot, nice one anon

Bulova has a few plain steel tank/reverso homages you can track down though.

Wish I had this for Christmas. Even if my family was wealthy only 10 of these babies got made.

Think I might still get this, despite the onions connotations and Chinese Swatch memes.

>>14888865
why is it onions?

>>14888905
Redditors lose their shit for the Speedmaster, because it’s a largely unimpeachable choice for a watch. Nobody thumbs their nose at it, it’s a favorite child of internet review sites, it has historical relevance, etc.

These self-proclaimed “watch guys” love it, and it gets to be tiresome. Sort of like how every pajeet, boomer, and boomer pajeet loves Rolex, so if you’re a Rolex fan you need to love the brand in spite of those people.

Thoughts on a strap for this thing? Was hoping I'd like the bracelet more but I'm not really feeling it. I'm thinking chunky black leather with white stitching but maybe somebody's got another idea.

Stupid date placement

>>14888865
Who gives a fuck what other people think. Bought one three years ago and I still never get tired of wearing it.

>>14889065
Would look sick on a nato, maybe Khaki or olive.

>>14889070

>>14889082
I actually had a right size khaki Zulu around so I tried it, but I don't think I'm feeling it. The watch is a bit too blingy to feel right on a nato like this to me. Might look better with olive but I'm trying to avoid that because I wear too much other olive stuff as it is.

>>14889120
It doesn't look blingy to me, it's a flight style watch and looks like a proper functional tool, thats why I was going down the nato route. You could ape the Navitimer look and do leather though.

>>14889144
It's hard to see in pics but it has some high polish bits that contrast pretty badly with the nato. It's also so thick and chunky that it feels weird having it on a strap that's so thin. I think the Navitimer look is probably my best bet but I was also thinking it might look good on some kind of composite strap like one of these Hirsch ones.

>>14889120
That watch has literally 0 pieces of flair. Every highlight is functional, no nods to style at all. Witness the twin fucking LCDs on the watch face, replacing the date window on a more traditional watch. There's no conflict in style here; nerds wear Nato straps because they worry about one of the pins falling out or breaking, and the watch becoming lost.

What I dislike about them is the extra guff around my wrist, which I worry about catching on something and, in the extreme case, degloving my hand. So for me it's polyurethane, the kind that doesn't get nasty with a bit of sweat. Makes me wonder what a high-end p.u. strap would be like.

>>14889120
It looks retarded, look at how much is sticking out from the wrist when folded and the stupid metal rings. Absolute garbage, NATO straps are shit.

>>14888827
The Octo looks great in photos but is shit on the wrist irl.

>>14888861
Classy choice. Why you want that particular model?

Your mum’s ass is my grail.

>>14888486
Out of those I'd say the Vacheron. Personally I'd find a cheaper watch to wear though on a date. On the off chance a woman notices or asks about your watch she might find out what it costs. Some people like to flex a bit, but I'm always concerned about gold diggers personally (not that I have that kind of cash)
and would rather women not know what I spend on things.

>>14888486
>to a girl who has no idea about watches?
Just know girls have become way smarter about watches in recent times.
Especially the type of girl you don’t want to be in a serious relationship with will have done her homework on it, and they won’t make it obvious.
Your best bet of staying icognito would probably be the VC but if you want to evade gold diggers at all cost it’s best to wear none of those.

Also good taste to OP for reposting my watch.

Leather straps on dive watches: no big deal or unforgivable etiquette breach?

Anyone know where I can find more info about this particular old Seiko I have. Back says 7T32-6A5A [A4] but for the life of me I can't seem to find any further details or firsthand information about the model or series (only random people selling vaguely similar ones on ebay and shit), or even how old it is. I know it's not valuable or anything I'm just curious.

>>14889513
I don't know about etiquette but it's better than a shitty NATO strap.

>>14888054

Got this guy for Christmas. I'm in love with it, so far it has showed pretty decent accuracy for the price (+2s a day) and hand winding is something I missed on the 7s26. It's my first "sports" watch and I like wearing it so much I'll probably postpone changing the acrylic on my 60s seamaster.
PS: contrary to the fanboy hate, I don't think this is meant to replace the SKX; seiko has the prospex line for that. It's 100m WR, no screw down crown and the lume is almost non-existant. The bezel has a small alignment issue, as expected from seiko. Either way it'll join the Tissot pr100 and my 7s26 as my daily watch

And here is the omega during its restoration. Haven't fixed it so far because I really like the original, slightly cracked acrylic on it. Unfortunately it broke completely and I don't want to have a sapphire crystal on it; I like the domed look of the acrylic and a sapphire won't have that

>>14889680
Cause it was like $80 on amazon and it's a dope diver.

>>14889923
Is this a serious question?

Much better than those pussy ass brands. PP, AP, etc. are only for latent homosexuals and insecure rich boys.

>>14889964
I don't think that's a genuine Omega movement, there isn't nearly enough plastic or Chinese parts.

>>14889964
You could probably get the crystal off ofrei or ebay. At worst you could probably fit a generic acrylic crystal of the right diameter.

I think I will end up with both but was worried the explorer 2 will rise in price in the coming years and maybe it was the better buy first, same could be said about the 114270. Thanks for the input.

>>14890145
The 114270 is the more popular watch from what I can tell. Not every rolex increases in value of course but if I had to guess I'd say the regular explorer is probably going to be one of those. Just look at the fuckyou prices for a 1016 explorer for example.

going to be honestly here, I do like the newer blue dial 2019 36mm datejust or steel 1601. That 2 tone looks like an old mans watch, so dated. You been better of getting a newer OP39 or something a bit more timeless.

If you have a Nautilus and a VC you should be smarter than to wear them on a date. Take it from me leave them at home, get a taxi and don't over do it with what you are wearing.

Any guy with money knows how to play the game, if your looking for a partner play it low key.

For some reason the bead blasted one doesn't look right on your wrist. I'd say either 2 or 3 but I think I'm leaning more towards 3.

I've heard you can message Stowa and have the crown date stop removed but that's the same thing that put me off the brand as well. Buy the Oris used as they tank a bit, if you can push it to 2k I'd pick up a Seamaster but if not a used oris aquis is not bad, is it good looking watch. In person I like the blue but the green is different. I do think the Oris 65 felt better in hand and the way the braclet wears did it for me, not a fan of the mineral crystal back the uses on the newer aquis as well.

>>14888040

The only thing that bothers me about the current 36mm DD is that at the beginning of the year rolex cut 90% of the options.
So you either have the yellow gold, gold dial, gold everything, or faggy girly shit with diamonds all over.

Last year, and forever before, there were at least different options for dial color, bezel type, indicies type and bracelet etc., allowing for a wide range of personal preference in your choice of DD.
All gone because rolex wants to market the 36mm to women except for the classic all gold, which is just too much gold for me. I really want the black dial, everose, fluted bezel, president bracelet and baton markers.
Missed the window.

I was thinking last year about how I had wished rolex would put the ceramic spacers in with the bracelet pins like they did with with the larger daydate to prevent gold stretch. Perfect watch. Monkey's Paw giveth and the monkey's paw taketh.
36 DD got the ceramic linings, but lost all variety options.

So, just know that if you want anything besides the classic all gold 36DD, you'll have to go used or NOS, which is what I hope to get soon.

Girard-Perregaux's probably sole claim to luxury these days is their three golden bridges. They first did this in a pocketwatch (movement side, obviously) nearly a century and a half ago. It didn't win a single prize because the judges decided that it wouldn't be fair to all the other entries since the GP was a cut above in every respect and would take every single award that year.

They're a far cry from their former splendor, but the three golden bridges is one of the few skeletons that don't look like taobao specials. The polishing on the bridges is divine.

sorry mb no one ever talks about day dates here, idk how I would feel wearing a DD in london honestly or even a DJ with fluted, I have heard a few stories lately (through local stores and jewellers) I have a few rolex dogs and if the worst happen it would be shit but not the end of the world, £12k+ is more than I want on my wrist as if now.

>>14890810
left, better balanced, has a bit more class as well

>>14888118
is this your collection? I like it but I'd get rid of the seamaster and oyster perpetual for something else.. they are two turds in the collection

>>14888138
she fucked you up bigtime. the 44mm will be a dinner plate on the wrist im sorry

>>14888484
nice 16013, not appreciated currently but they were for a long time and should be respected!

>>14888865
FOIS is way to go my friend, I am after one as well!

Learn this one simple trick that makes the Swiss SEETHE.

>>14890881
Which is? Rusting?

>>14890810
right, so you can larp as the sigmund freud german guy

>>14890935
hahah yeah that tim guy is actually where I found out about the watch, but I actually think it is a nice watch, memes aside

>>14890810
Left looks more classy. What's the model, Anon?

Is it possible to get a smallish (<39mm), thin (<9mm) automatic dress watch for under $1000?

I have >>14891025 too and it's great, only bad thing is it's only got 10 BAR resistance so no water except for the pool

>>14890940
oh it's nice
i myself wouldn't mind the gen just before the current one, black dial white markings
solid watch and a style that originated back in the day with oris themselves
ze german found out that he is solely responsible for that model's sudden rise in price on ebay etc
fucking youtube

good size
the thing about these pointer date types that I've always admired is the fact that there's a visual indication of how far you are into the month
like how I prefer an analog dial to a digital in regards to telling the time in general
just numbers is more abstract and less intuitive compared to seeing
>oh, I've got until the hand gets to here when i get paid/laid/xrayed/die

left one is dressier, if you are in need of a suit-able dress watch
right for just being a little bit more dynamic and interesting for a good casual watch

None of those watches are worth more than $400.

Should I buy pic related? Is Hamilton a good brand? I like the look of this but I do not know shit about watches.

>I don't have a budget.

>>14891117
Just wanted to post this, thought you all might find it interesting.

>>14891106
Hamilton is a good entry level brand but the one you posted is ugli
Post some of the design features you like and a rough price range and anons can give recs

>>14891128
Ideal watch would be this Rolex Daytona, problem is I don't want to spend 30k on a watch. It's not really about the money, to me it's retarded to have 30k on your wrist.

>>14891097
I have never thought that someone with a Presage, or those JCPenny/Macys chronograph watches, was affluent in any way, sorry. Even if you were to sell all of those, you would not afford a good watch.

>>14891117
can you post the dial too please?

>>14891084
Beautiful haute horologerie collection

>>14891132
Unfortunately I think that Daytona is ugly as well, but since you seem to be into "unbusy" chronos I'd recommend an omega speedmaster moonwatch for under £5000, one of these Hamilton intramatic chronos for £1000-£2000, or a HKED 1963 for under £500. Probably the best looking available in each price range

>>14891132
Similar to the intramatic you can get the Pilot Pioneer Auto Chrono for about 900.

thanks boys, ill look at these

>>14891183
>>14891117
All very nice.
Is it something you picked up or something you inherited?

>>14891168
>or a HKED 1963
why does everyone recommend this brand i've never heard of over the seagull airforce one that I remember from ages ago?

>>14891221
It's the exact same movement and case, HKED just offers alternate dials based on old designs. I like the additional colourways and the concentric snailing on the subdials.

What’s an appropriate watch to wear looking like a complete bum? I’m talking ratty-ass t shirt and sweatpants here

>>14891241
Pretty much anything on one of those plastic turntable displays at Wally World should fit the bill

>>14891241
If you really want to look like a bum, just put it on a NATO strap.

>>14891257
NATOs don't really come across as homeless, its more of a onions energy Cheap digital is the way to go

>>14891220
Inherited, my family didnt know much about it. And this general is alwags interesting, so i took it upon myself to learn about it. I believe the main spring needs to be decompressed.

>>14891278
Damn, that's an ill-fitting watch, daddy have bigger wrists then you?

nice, first other pointer date fan I encounter here. What is the best one in your opinion?

I really like the 1940's handwinders, only issue is they have shitty glass quality and I wouldnt want to get it banged up with only one bump against the glass.

Dude I could live on that just fine, holy shit.

>>14891221
hked does a lot of good quality control on the st19's he gets in, sends a lot back, which you want on your seagull st19 if you want it to last longer than a year

>>14891528
how long do those seagull/hked watches last usually?

>>14888963
A comedian who has more better watches than you ever had.

Is this a good deal?

>>14891559
Get the green or yellow version instead

>>14891542
my hked lasted a year
i wouldnt say longer than 5 usually

>>14891559
It's a fucking shitter. Buying a watch just because it's on sale is pretty retarded.

Prices on the Omega site aren't reflective of what you'd pay in an AD anyway, for that check grey market prices on Chrono24 and add 5-10%. No one pays list price for an Omega.

thoughts on this?

>>14891658
Pocket watches are for neckbeards noone wears that shit anymore

They're fine, I used quartz GMT one.

>displaying a non decorated movement
>displaying a movement that looks like it's been dragged around on the floor

>>14891658
Cheap chain and case with fake patina. Looks like a cosplay/larp prop. I don't mind the design of the dial but the exposed movement would look so much better polished, that shit is just scratched to fuck and nasty.

>>14891278
nice handwatch

Wait, why does this say "bvlgarr" instead of bvlgari?

anyone have a colareb strap/shots of it?

I'm about the pull the trigger but i'm torn between black or 'mud' for the khaki king

>>14889868
just get a komandirskie if you want a rugged manual wind watch

>>14891739
Unbelievably based

>>14889923
Considering the fact that mine has been +2 for 4 years now with a movement made with aging soviet machines and put together by babushka when Ivan is too drunk to work I'd say they're much better

Is this watch any good?

>>14891728
Imagine buying this

thoughts?

>>14891879

>>14891839
Only reason to buy this shitter is if you're too poor for the Omega.

>>14891728
It doesn't even resemble the one from the game (which also looks way better than whatever that is). Who the hell would buy this?

want to get this watch.
Tissot Gentleman - The automatic one for 790,00. Kinda playing with the thought about buying the cheaper version for 370,00 with battery.

https://www.tissotwatches.com/de-de/shop/t1274101104100.html

Any advice on Tissot watches? Are they any good? I don't want to buy some shit like Armani or Hugo Boss Watches which are made in china for 5$ and sold with the brand on it for easy money grabs.

>>14891906
790 as in american dollars? Fuck right off with that, that's way more than you should spend on a shitter like that.

>>14891906
Tissot and Hamilton are both pretty decent as far as low/mid level Swatch group goes. You're getting a lot better watch than most of the fashion brands even if you get the quartz, but I'd be shooting for the auto personally because I like the feeling of maintaining and using a mechanical movement.

Just wanted to say that Pobeda's are pretty underrated desu

>>14891906
If you don't care about it being automatic or not, maybe get the quartz and save up for nice automatic if you're interested in watches.

>>14891917
Not everyone is interested in getting 40k in debt for a new Patek Archibald. Calm down.

cop seiko presage or not?

>>14891906
If you have to get a shitter get an Oris or something, Tissot is fucking embarrassing.

>>14891775

Fuck, I'm the Citizen Skyhawk dude from yesterday and I went flying with it on today, wanted to take a pic of it in the airplane but forgot.

Anyway, I found this chunky black leather with white stitching strap at my LWS, I think the watch looks pretty nice on it.

Will girls think I'm rich if i have a Seamaster?

>>14890844
That's a Milgauss

>>14891470
Might as well get a cheap Seiko or Orient automatic.

>>14892115
An early dead general lmao

>>14892579
Everyone is agreed he made a terrible OP, this is why only I'm allowed to make the OP posts, I have a stunning track record.

>>14889434
who ever made this is retarded, in what world is rolex on the same level as jlc. "corner cutting" omega have better more advanced movements than rolex which are quite dated now, $2.5k GS? are you looking a quartz prices. Brielting and Omega are on rolex pricing level has they have model far above 6.5k. Clearly trolling but whole fuck.

>>14892274
don't get it

>>14891652
firstly that's not list, the watch is underrated as fuck, you should have got a deepsea, it doesn't even come close to fitting you. You clearly have great judgment.

>>14892304
>>14890844
I use to think the same thing about the Seamaster and it was a hold me over at the time but I love the design now and the bracelet is so comfy, it makes a great beater, I dont feel it's a shitter anymore but you can't tell a mil from a op that's rolexs 0 ar coating for you.

>>14888118
Wow, this is a really good collection, I wish I was rich, that's almost exactly what mine would look like except for the Explorer 2.

>>14892274
That's far too much, I got the non chrono version for £105.

uber poorfag here, just wanna ask a question.
how do you pay for your rolex assuming you get it from your ad? do you pay straight up with cash or credit card? thanks

>>14892754
Why would buying a Rolex be any different to anything else in a store?

>>14890986

>>14890986
>>14892821
Yes.

>>14892599
This is true, and based. Return of the stunner threads when

>>14892618
No, Omega is watered down with too many models and limited editions. Some eta based movements etc. You can get a used seamaster Pro for below 3k.

Zenith and JLC are known for their quality movements but are kinda soft brands. Rolex maybe have boring old movements but are known for their reliability and are also real Swiss made. Brand is rock solid.

>>14892918
ah god you are retarded, all brand have shit lines / models "rolex cellini" you can get used rolex oyster perpetual for 3k but you would be better off with a seamaster. This oh they have to many models oh it's watered down argument again, you're just repeating shit you heard, when it comes to omega if you're not buying a pro, seamaster or vintage constellation you doing it wrong, rolex is the same with steel sports.

Omegas new cal blows everything out sub 10k

Some say Rolex only makes the same models and never innovate, which is true, omega on the other hand have their classic core base models (same as rolex, less of them) and try other things on the side, why can you retards understand that, it's how all the brand work, cars and everything else in your life. All the limited edition are for the rich and it doesn't matter a fuck to them, only poor people complain.

Jlc and zenith are not in the same boat as rolex no matter what you say, you are basing everything of cost. Markets chance, Panerai was were rolex is now and the brand was Rock soild. Gmt now pushing AP money lol, whatever, hype train keeps rolling. Only fools would buy at the top. Rolex makes good watches but don't fall into the hype there are better options for the same money.

I've never owned a watch before and I am thinking of getting this open heart Bambino in rose gold. It would also be my first automatic. Is this a good pick /wt/ or should I getting a quartz instead?

>>14894278
Orients are fine.

But they're a bit on the big side--make sure it's a good fit for your wrist.
