these threads are for the technical autists, they don't have aesthetic taste

What can you get that's like a Datejust or OP but has a handwind movement and display back? Needs to be 100m water resistant and halfway dressy/not a dive watch like a DJ/OP

should i get a wooden watch

craig schipp seems mentally ill. everything is a competition to him and not in a funny way like with archie. he's too autistic to see how bad he is at hiding his inferiority complex

I did the black face mod on my F91-W, unfortunately I made the viewing hole a small bit to big on the top and over the past two days the glue seems to have damaged the paint so I'll have to give it another go.

If all goes according to plan, I will finally have an Alfred 40mm in my hands later this week.

Been lusting over it for 7 months now.

Hm didn't know there was a manual one
Anything else?

>>15268669
manual winds are typically only ideal for dress watches. why would you want a half-sports/half-dress watch that has a manual wind movement instead of an automatic one?

>>15268677

does it matter?

>>15268708
Germs

>>15268711
there are germs everywhere

your keyboard has 1000x more germs

>>15268665
They are old school. Lots and lots of finishing by hand. Dials are hand made, hands made by hand as well. Teardrop lugs are forged and soldered to the case. Small production output, less than 300 watches a year. Company dates back to 1773.

Just look at the movement and you will see for yourself. Better finishing than Patek, AP, even Lange.

Here on their website you can see how they make different parts of their watches: https://www.urbanjurgensen.com/legacy/craftsmanship

Like I've said before, he reminds me of Max Hardcore, who seems to have the same issues.

>>15268726
It's an article of clothing it needs to be cleaned

>>15268726
If you regularly licked your watches it would clean them, the problem is if you don't do it regularly there will be to many germs and you should no longer lick it.

is it really better finishing than lange?

>>15268756
Bvlgari garbage

>>15268754
Handwound with that much WR and display back is a difficult one. Can't really think of anything. They're basically things that don't go well together.

>>15268751
but how often do you do that

might fade the colour and ruin the glue

>>15268769
A few times a year
I don't get equating something that's bare against your wrist mere inches from your fingers and something never in close spaces with your face/hands and is insulated from your body with socks

>>15268774
ok then do you wash your jacket and jeans everytime you wear them too

>>15268764
Lange don't do sharp interior angles because it can only be done by hand. Lange have to have machines do their anglage because of their production output. They do hand engraving on the balance cock to take the attention.

Regarding dials, UJ guilloche and grenage dials have way more handwork than anything Lange does. Same goes for hands and cases. UJ even offers hand painted grand feu enamel.

>>15268778
why is there a big circle at the end of UJ's hour hand?

>>15268777
No but I wash all my clothes I wear like every week
You guys just don't like hearing your 0 WR Patek on a leather strap has more germs than a hooker

what kind of watch would patrick bateman have owned before his rolex DJ? in his college years? and what kind would he own when he's 50?

>>15268784
i have not washed my jacket in like 2 years and im as healthy as a horse

after you've been in the military you stop caring about germs or other icky cooties stuff

>>15268784
As long as it has less germs than your phone, you’re probably fine.

Probably also helps if you have a bunch o watches in rotation, so they can dry out.

>>15268782

Looks good for what it is. Damn hard to get the window right, maybe you should just try a clear crystal.

>>15268859
m-mommy

>>15268658
Looks pretty good anon. I kind of like having part of the internals exposed like that but if the paint is bubbling up i guess you have to redo it anyway. The blacked out screen is a great look.

>>15268852
I don't like it but you do you man. I think it's probably reasonably expensive for what it is and eventually you'll grow out of it.

>>15268880
I put the clear crystal on for a while and it looks weird. I think if I put the masking tape on before I remove the paint I can probably judge it from the current window.
>>15268886
Thanks. It's quite weird, it was fine for about two days and then two splotches appeared. The paint is under the window so it's hard to tell why.

>>15268613
why does kanji characters make watches so aesthetic bros??

>>15268917
Because the letters themselves are pictures.

>>15268852
I hope they lacquer them right, water will screw this watch up even if it is sealed. What we should really be looking for is wooden dials.

>>15268778
Lange does hang polish interior angles retard.

What is some watch that I can pass to my grandchildren and it would still be dope? Wtf Rolex was so cheap then and so expensive now, is there any other rising brand?

>>15269043

>>15269045
i hate how everyone calls every new steel sports watch a "genta ripoff". its becoming such a reddit critique at this point. lazy and uninsightful. he obviously had a big influence on modern steel sports watches but that can't be all you have to say you limey faggot. also, i like how czapek omitted the inclusion of visible screws to differentiate it from all the other genta-esque watches

>>15269051

Thank you Anon. Well you definitely had the wrong tools for the job. The good thing about modifying €10 watches is you don't need to worry too much about ruining it. You could always try again with the same watch, it's all a learning experience.

Do people actually use chronometer watches for timing things?

>>15268717
>Better finishing than Patek, AP, even Lange.
Not true.

Marine Chronometer-styled watches are the best and should be more popular

For me, its the full lume basedmaster

why do men hate 36mm datejusts so much desu?

literally a middle aged middle manager watch

>>15269283
lume like that looks so much cleaner than lume like this

although if the citizen watch left the hands without lume it would be nicer too i think, like a reverse lume

how does a chronograph work?

in regular function, the "big" seconds hand doesnt move on a chronograph, only the small seconds hand move in the subdial?

so i would never see the normal big seconds hand move unless i activate the chronograph?

This upcoming Lum-Tec looks pretty cool. Too bad I'm not liquid enough to buy luxury items at the moment.

>>15269307
Yes.

>>15269313
dayum but i like seeing the usual seconds hand move on a mechanical watch

are there any chronograph that is the opposite?

>>15269325
no bully, anon, let's all be friends

>>15269297
Do you think many managers can afford 6k watches? Does that what Rolex says you to? I've seen them on plenty of 20-somethings in Seattle, the Bay, LA, NY, the Hamptons. They're not "managers".

>>15268711
You inspired me to give my Invicta a bit of the ol' Fairy liquid. It's now much less greasy, especially on the display caseback. Cheers!

Shitty crystal though, picks up grease etc. right quick despite being on top of my dang wrist. Heck.

>>15269331
Correct, they're the children of managers.

>>15269331
The Datrejust is the most uncreative watch. A lot of people get them just because it's the most available Rolex. And usually they are boomer managers or salesmen who get them because of muh prestige.
>but I see 20year olds wearing them
The ignorant clout-chasing boomers of the future

>>15269342
dear sexy friend, do you mean CEO? independent millionaires? I don't think one has to be *wealthy* to own a Rolex. are you implying 36mm is too *small* for a man? that's rather myopic and dated.

>>15269352
it's actually the opposite of dated since 36mm men's watches were normal 60 years ago but it is small now.

>>15269348
uncreative? it's been around for decades and decades. it's a sports watch that functions as a dress watch, as well. the fluted bezel, gorgeous dial/hands, jubilee or oyster, I say.

>>15269356
it's DATED to believe a 36mm watch is *too small*. you've been wearing 47mm dinner plates for so long, you've lost what it means to come back to the basics. but noooooo your "gold" invicta chronograph at 50mm and 20mm high attracts all of the Italians in jersey

>>15269318
just get a rotating bezel watch. chronos are stupid

>>15269240
good list but id add an fp joure tourb just for shits even if they are useless. id also have a daniels or roger smith as a flex option for time only cause i like that english style

>>15269359
simp.

>>15269307

Sometimes I wonder if everyone crying for smaller watches recently is because the majority of wristwatch enthusiasts seem to be wristlets

>>15269374
a simp with one of the largest (and costliest) watch collections in my state.

>>15269383
>or is it because panerai are filth, and anything over 40mm is gutter trash

>>15269383
It's more that the number of hamplanets increases daily and so manufacturers have to meet demand by making bigger watches so that they don't look comically small. People with some self respect who don't eat everything in sight 24/7 are thus left with watches that look comically huge. It's a tragedy.

>>15269397
BINGO

Why don't they make tank and tonneau watches anymore?
The only good tanks are from Cartier, disgustingly overpriced. And tonneaus are now the domain of Richard Mille. The Reverso is all that's left

>>15269348

Lets be honest here, a quick look on r/watches and the average wrist size has got to be a stout 5”.

>>15269045
First movement that made me say wow.

>>15269402

not even rolex could sell them, recently discontinued

>>15269419
have you never seen a movement finished by Dufour? do you know how many man hours go into one of those?

>>15269051
One quick look at the case and bracelet and it’s obvious who that watch was “inspired” by.
The omission of the visible screen doesn’t make it less gents, if anything it makes it a nautilus rip off.
Watch companies really need to start thinking outside the box. It’s beyond lazy at this point.

>>15269402
Because the Reverso is quite simply a masterpiece

>>15269411
Imagine spending $30,000 for a watch that looks like a dinner plate on your wrist

>>15269402
well you could buy this $200 xiaomi watch

>>15269348
Datejust is one of the most iconic watches ever. The reason you make think its "uncreative" is because it's the default watch that you picture in your head.

>>15269383
The small watch thing has to do with the mass entry of poorfags into the market. The only thing they can afford from decent brands are vintage pieces 34mm and below. They then flock to web forums and convince other poorfags that their choice wasn't dumb because 100 years ago men used to wear smaller watches.

>>15269450

Seiko still makes tonneau watches, some of the chink brands like Sea-gull make a few. That swiss brand that shitposts by making watches out of cheese and minute repeaters that look like the apple watch still makes them. I'm sure some other swiss brands do as well, they just aren't all that popular outside of Richard Mille.

>>15269466
>>15269492
do you say that because you cant afford it or do you really mean it?

99% of people would disagree with you. Between 36mm and 42mm are generally considered the perfect size for men depending on specific case geometry and proportions. You're certainly not going to convince anyone that your right by posting oversize watches (there are watches between tiny and huge).

>>15269294
It’s just people following trends. The trend for a while was bigger = better. Watch companies making their watches bigger doesn’t help either.

>>15269710
i thought nomos did all their movements in-house? stowa is an eta right? i doubt that tangente has an eta in it

>>15269703
it's much nicer than /r/watchescirclejerk. every post on their thinks tacking on the phrase "my wife's boyfriend" makes their jokes funny.
>le seiko 5 is epic ! ! beter than this shit rolex my wife boyfriend haha xDD

Dude, I’ve never owned a watch. But I still come to this thread specifically to shit on people’s watches and LARP as someone with nice watches because the pleasure centers in my brain are completely fucked and I get off on the virtual schadenfreude. If you are taking this website seriously you need to go outside and get some fresh air.

its just people having fun, lighten up gramps

>>15269710
Well the nomos makes a higher percentage of the watch themselves. This may or may not be important to you. For instance, although the nomos alpha calibre is based off the peseaux 7001, nomos makes the the alpha in their factory and the parts are not interchangeable (the alpha also hacks where the 7001 does not unless it is modified). You also have the brand affiliation of buying a nomos, albeit an entry level one, since the company is doing some neat things on the higher end. Honestly, if you dont care about those things then the stwa is probably a better deal but i have not had the chance to compare them closely. I have a friend who has a stowa flieger and a nomos tangente and he speaks highly of both (and he's had some nice watches over the years). i dont like the new stowa logo tho

>>15269714
isnt it worse with tudor?

>>15269720
The nomos alpha is an ETA 7001 that they make themselves. The same movement stowa uses. Just because they made more of it themselves doesn't make it better.

>>15269735
probably true. i'd go with the stowa then. i like their marine classic line more though

>>15269714
wrong
you buy omega to larp as bond

>>15269380
interesting
but how does it work?
the chrono is the one with the plane tip?
could you time more than 60 seconds with it?

its honestly bewildering to me that people spend their free time posting in a thread like this. it's a fucking wrist watch. how is there anything to discuss about wrist watches? imagine spending your free time posting for hours in a thread about water bottle caps. you bicker back and forth with some autist that insists evian bottle caps are nicer than fiji's. and another guy egging voss-fags on by calling that bottle cap reddit. i am literally in awe there are people right now behind their computers typing earnestly to one another about wrist watches

>>15269560
I bet thats not even real metal, scraping against your watch. Come on man, dont be a wimp.

>>15269702
Why are that girls feet in the fish well?

>>15269704
The fuck you say about me, nukkah?!

>>15269710
The nomos actually looks good while the stowa is a hideous shitter. The price difference is paying for a designer with taste.

>>15269762
Dude, I don't know shit about boats. I just go along with the girls and larp as a pirate all day long.

>>15269767
>”taste”

>>15269750
There's a little more to them then a bottle cap, retard. It's like why there are people who post about cars.

>>15269744
lol

>>15268660
I like the hour hand. I usually see watches with the round bit on both hands, but that doesn't work for me. having it just on the hour and the large diameter of the circle looks much better.

everyone should bend over for Rolex, relax their anus, and admit that they are superior to every brand

>>15269152
do you walk around wearing a brown top hat with a bunch of gears hot-glued to it?

well, if you insist

>>15269801
The only time you will ever see the words “jealous” and “panerai” in the same sentence is from a Panerai owner saying “This Panerai sucks, I’m so jealous you own that Sub”

Is this Hamilton too big for my wrist? It's only 40mm, so it's already on the smaller side for watches.

>>15269824
Not at all, I like the Lugs hanging over the wrist look.
Nice anal beads as well.

>>15269824
What a soft looking faggy wrist. Or are you a fat chick?

Redpill me on Vacheron Constantin, /watch/ enthusiasts?

>>15269881
I like them, personally.

>>15269792
This but unironically

>>15269894
That is the ugliest integrated bracelet I have ever seen

What do you guys think about the Casio GWM5610-1 for a noob watch? It's not a reddit favorite, is it?

i used to live invicta watches in high school but now that im older and i know about "nicer" watch brands theyve kind of phased out of my mental wish list. now to me they look gaudy and overcompensating for what im suspecting would be poor quality. also growing up in outerborough new york i only ever see them on low level drug dealers, puerto ricans, and trashy italian roid ragers who more likely than not drive a ford raptor, watch UFC and beat their girlfriends/wives. does invicta have a stigma in your area, or even to you personally? is this actually a nice brand or is it for overcompensating dickheads who cant afford a breitling?

>>15268837
bump

>>15269941
oh dont you know
every watch here has to be searched through reddit and their general consensus on it gauged
if reddit likes it we hate it

i now have a weekly updated excel sheet of all the 89712939 watches that reddit has a positive opinion on so I will not buy them, simple as

/s

>>15269941
just get what you like
thats a good gshock i think, from what i read ( not a gshock expert)

>>15269972
Overcompensating by posting an annoying 4chan word instead of an annoying reddit tag and pretending to be a master of comedic irony doesn't change my opinion of you. Integrate yourself into the culture of the place you are visiting.

>>15269944
99/100 of them look hideous.

>>15269982
if everywhere was an echo chamber wouldnt it be boring AF?
grow up
watchu gonna do about it

>>15269986
A quasi homogeneous culture does not necessarily result in an echo chamber. It is, in my opinion, part of image board culture to disagree strongly with other posters, sometimes just for fun.
>watchu gonna do about it
See? That's funny. Keep it up champ.

>>15269944
im apathetic on them
on one hand their original designs are really crass and frankly ugly
on the other hand at least its really... original? you can spot an invincta watch from a mile away

its a brand 50% ""homages""" and 50% chunky trash
they probably have a lot of sales though, i can see it being very popular in latin/south america and the numerous listings in spanish kinda confirms it

>>15269941
The 5610 is a great g-shock and it's all most people really need for a watch unless they want to collect mechanical watches.

>>15270006
Cool thanks anon. I have a F91W-1 right now which isn't solar. Do you have any solar watches? Is it a pain to keep it charged or would normal sun exposure keep it working?

>>15270018
if you put it in sunlight for like 10 minutes it charges the watch for literally months unless you are constantly using the backlight

>>15270040
oh thats good to know lol. ty again anon. :-*

Does anyone own one of these? or the variants. how tall does it sit? i know it says 14mm but i haven't been able to find any pics of it on wrist.

Alternatively, reccomend some good sub 1k chronos.

>>15269984
That 1% of beauts tho

>>15270018
I say it every time anyone says anything about the F91W, but I feel obligated to mention the W-217H. It's a larger version of the F91W with the 24 hour button moved to the top left so you don't accidentally hit it. I wear it for sleeping, exercising, and drinking. Worth a look.

>>15270056
this enough to get a feel?

it seems a tad thick especially from this pic

looking for a watch under 2k that is mainly black with some minor gold highlights. Want it to look plainish. Something to be worn with jeans and a tshirt.

>>15269714
or you buy an omega because you like the omega

>>15268837

>>15270107

>>15269941
imagine if casio made some watches where they didnt add a fuckton of text on the dial >>15268658 is almost there but the case now looks to big and it feels like the numbers need to be visually separated somehow

>>15270107

>>15270107
Wear tags, fuck slags.

show me the zaniest and kitsch nato/zulu straps.

something like this.

is there a Timex Marlin hand wind killer, a sub 200 watch with a simple and elegant design (aka not ugly, that means you seikofags)?

>>15270178
vostok classica

>>15270178
That watch looks retarded

>>15269941
it's a G-Shock so ofc it's Reddit af

>>15270187
No, it doesn't

>>15270178
Just get a vintage Timex, they are a dime a dozen in pawn shops/thrift stores/eBay/etc. and cheap as fuck.
You can usually find a bunch of them in those “30 watches for 10$“ bags.

>>15270171

what a comfy thread
that poorfag guide is one of the best i've ever seen for a board

>>15270178
If the price gauging on this one goes away, I'm picking one up
>>15270196
That's because the movements are garbage

>>15270056
dang i wish this watch wasnt so pegendary

>>15270119
fug hard to decide between blue and black

>>15270210
It’s a Timex, all their watches/movements are cheap/disposable. Thats the point.

>>15270253
What's inside the new Timex mechanical

>>15270184
>tfw the bastard is never in stock
but yes, one day

>>15270266
I don’t know, what is in there?
I read the hoodinkee but I don’t remember reading anything about a movement other than its their first mechanical in a while.
It’s still a 200$ Watch anon. It’s cool you like timex but It doesn’t change the fact that all their watches are cheap/disposable.

gimmicky crap, always. maybe you can fool some low tier cunt with it

this looks terrible, even if you got the viewing hole perfect, didn't scratch the crystal, and didn't break the plastic. looks like you got it from a k-mart capsule dispenser

>>15269051
it's definitely genta inspired..

>>15269148
craig, is there a reason for the creepy undertones on your channel especially where girls are concerned?

>>15268655
Just get the club, you really don't have a other option. You can buy braclets from nomos.

Honestly I'd never buy a bracelet watch that didnt have a on the go micro adjustable (sub or new seamaster, you can fit other omegas with their micro adjustable clasp, good luck getting on of Rolex tho but can be done).

>>15269702
Nice anon

>>15269710
>>15269720
>>15269742

Nomos alpha is based on the 7001 but they make it themselves and they regular it in 6 prositions if I'm not mistaken. Stowa uses a ETA 2824-2 in there 36-40mm watches the 7001 is only on the marine 36 mm small seconds, their larger small seconds watches use a Unitas 6498-1.

Nomos is 8.25/4 mm thick (depending on the model and case back and the stowa is 10.5 mm thick (Flieger are 9.2mm)

I went with the club but would pick up a stowa still. I'd pick up what you like or see used, you can get a good deal used.

>>15269714
I have the money for a rolex 5 x over, have 3 omegas already. I just wanted a sub no date, looking 2 years for one at retail but £2k over retail used 2015, I'd like my 5 years warranty pls, not banded up, dropped, stolen (rolex won't confirm series for you, they want you to buy new).

Walk into AD sorry sir get fucked, we are not taking anyone on are wait list but if you buy this ladys dj and 36mm 2 tone mens dj, we can put you on it (no joke that's what they said), went on chrono24 and bought a
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms for the same money (8k).

I will never buy a Rolex, go get fucked. I'm just going to skip the brand / tier, jlc next and then AP or whatever.

Oh and have you ever talked to Rolex people, fuck me 99% of them are wankers. Triggered.

>>15270679
I love the movement but not really the Club/Nomos dials or the bracelet it comes on, want more oyster style

Thinking about saving up for this. I want a simple sports watch that doesn't stand out. I can get this or a nice dressy moon face JLC and a Omega Seamaster instead. What do? Thoughts on VC?

>>15270904
That's stupid retard level of spending, I'd rather get a fake

>>15269730
>>15269735
>>15270760
Most Nomos watches are cheap enough that being 7001 based is a good thing to me, it's also a really attractive movement with nice gears and shit

At higher luxury prices I wouldn't want a 7001/derivative in there, like a solid gold Blancpain or something, yeah no thanks give me something more exclusive than that

>>15270893
Bracelet watches are normally sport watches and normally autos. Manual watches are dress watches and are normally on leather.

The only thing I can think of is a speedmaster sapphire sandwich, your just going to have to pay up or buy 2 watches.

Oh and not all manuals feel the same, speedmaster and reverso have the best feeling when winding them, honestly all others have disappointed me.

If you can get over the bracelet:-
Reverso 975 (wears large)
Stowa
Any other nomos
Laco cuxhaven

>>15270904
Dude that's a £15k watch give or take. If you feel okay walking around with that much money on the wrist and scratching it up, breaking / losing it or stolen is not the end of the world and you can buy it 3 × over go for it.

I would need £150-200k in saving / investment, 0 debt before looking at that kind of watch personal.

I have £50k savings, £4.5k on a credit card I'm paying off (0%), 0 other debt. I buy sub £3k watches, just my data point.

>>15270996
Just had a crazy idea
Get a 2824 / Sellita based watch (tons of bracelet and case choices) and remove the rotor

>>15270282
The Marlin has a Seagull automatic movement with the auto components removed to make it manual wind.

>>15269702
>>15270706
Based.

>>15271043
youre more responsible than me. i have 50k saved and 90k invested in a business im building so i shouldnt get a watch that expensive since the smart thing to spend is something like a house or another buisness that will generate cash. if i really want a luxury watch it should be like a 4-5k omega or grand seiko at similar price point that i really like but i really like that overseas

>>15271101
I like the overseas as well but make your money work for you. I have a small business and turn my stock over quick so I never have to much tied up in it, I run a tight ship.

If you must have the overseas do this:-
Get an omega, new seamaster is a good buy, 3k on chrono24 new, the 10k you have left could start up a small business, make your 15k for the overseas + your 10k you used to start up. Put the 10k back in the small business or start another one. You now have your overseas + omega and a small business, £25k in a year or a bit more, shouldn't be a problem. It is just a side thing for you by the sound of things so take it at your own speed (10k or 5k start up whatever). Good luck anon. 90k investment should come first of course, think of the sec one as a watch fund / car fund / boys toys business, I do the same thing but on a smaller scale honestly. Keeps the wife happy.

Got a lotus and 4 watches out of doing the same thing, speedy, seamaster 300m, explore 2, milgauss. I wanted a Rolex 2 tone sub, I'm okay with were I ended up.

>>15271152

>>15271101
And yea 5k is a good place in watches, you get iconic well made and respected watches. You already know yourself what you need to do.

>>15271152
What the fuck are you doing in business that only costs $10k and runs as a side project

>>15271152
>>15271204
Sounds like drugs desu

>>15271204
>>15271205
I buy and sell, it's all about quick turn over. You should sell your £10k on stock in 30 days and take your profit and rebuy with your £10k, repeat.

>>15271229
Buy and sell what and where?

>>15271060

Idk if it's that easy bro, just buy a handwound watch and put a mesh bracelet on it.

It’s a coastal town in Germany. Don’t know if that makes it more funny or less so.
But people there appeared pretty normal when I was there. Also no obvious cucking or other kinky shit going on on the beach, no matter if nude beach or normal.
