first for the yacht master

>>15293532

If you had a million dollars to spend on a watch what would you get. Inb4 I'd buy a rolex and save the rest. Not allowed. You have to spend all of it at once on one watch. Inb4 I'd buy a rolex anyway.

>>15293543
You posted the wrong Yacht Master.

based department just informed me that new seiko 5 were just announced

>>15293551
I noticed too. I'm tempted to buy pic related just so I can be the first guy to upload it to YouTube. Maybe I can make some ad bux.

1st for the goat

>>15293546
I'm not even sure if a million would buy this.
Ref 57260

Realistically id just get the nicest finished most luxurious minimal 3 hand watch with no complications I could find and then treat it like a casio beater. Assuming I wouldn't be allowed to sell it.

>>15293551
Looks nice but I'd hold out for some special dials like this >>15293563
I think that this was the right move because they were catching endless shit for having a dive watch bezel on a non-diver with a non-functioning lume pip. That said for an average price of 250 they could upgrade to sapphire

>>15293563
Fake meteorite?

>>15293583
>an average price of 250
>seiko 5
>250

really...??

>>15293546
I'd buy a titanium G-shock and burn the rest.

>>15293586
Go check for yourself, they float between 180-270 depending on what specific reference you are looking for

>>15293586
Seiko is shooting for the stars baby! They are basically revamping their entire lineup from top to bottom and making it all much more expensive. At least they have NH-35s in them now.

>>15293586

yeah but stores will prob sell for way under that. i can’t picture Macy’s selling Seiko 5’s for 250 permanently.

It'z MAR'S TIME BITCH

>>15293590
you could get one of those limited edition samurai mr. g g-shocks with each bezel hammered by a cerified japanese artisan with a family tree going back to the feudal era

60 minute bezel or chronograph?

>>15293604
>tachymetre bezel = completely useless for 99% of people 99% of the time
>dive bezel = rudimentary timer useful in day to day life

>>15293600
Why would mars have a 24hr day?

>>15293593
>>15293598
wtf man i bought my old seiko 5 at like $60 lol

>>15293596
>NH-35
probably catching shit as chinese makers have been using these for their $70 watches

>>15293582
Guts, also i got the front and rear backwards kek.

>>15293606
Mars has a 24 hour day

>>15293607
seiko has been attempting to chase the midrange and upscale market lately, but they are not offering value. seiko5 were very bare bones watches but they were super cheap and there were tons of them. the skx was very rough but it was a functional ISO certified dive watch for 100 dollars.
now you pay 250 for a non-dive watch that is basically just redialed SKXs without water resistance and they still use fucking hardlex and a movement you can source for 30 dollars

>>15293601
I hate analog so that isn't really an option. They're also ugly as fuck.

trying to decide between the SARX055 and the 057 (pictured). I like these watches a lot for their sizing, titanium material, and pretty much everything else. I just don't know if I should get the black dial or the white dial as an everyday wear. What do you guys think?

this is the 055 for reference

>>15293621
>>15293624
If you can't choose, you must be a complete faggot who doesn't like snowflake. Get the black.

>>15293615
>skx was very rough but it was a functional ISO certified dive watch for 100
The SKXs were never $100. More like $180 in the gray market, which is still a good value for the money. The crazy thing is how the basic divers, like the SKXs and Monsters have gone up in price. There are new SKX007/009s going for $350.

>>15293621

SARX...

What is your favourite kind of strap or bracelet?
Bigly into the silicon straps now that the weather gets warmer but I'm inclined to try out a jubilee bracelet for the first time.

>>15293629
for a long time the average price of an SKX was 160 new and they routinely went on sale for less, down to 100 occasionally. the gen1 monsters were at one time possible to buy for 100. this was an amazing value. hell, at 160 they were an amazing value. now monsters are like 250-500 depending on the reference, SKXs averaging about 250-300 depending on the source.
seiko was the value brand. now their prices are 2-3x what they were, and you don't actually get much additional value.

>>15293621
>>15293624
personally i always feel black dials look too heavy especially on lighter skin/ summer time

I would go for the baby snowflake, its really timeless looking and that blue seconds hand

>>15293640
Nylon, followed closely by titanium.

I wish the chinks were making cheap titanium straps with a brushed finish, instead of all the dumb black IP coated ones for apple watches that'll get scratched up in half a second.

>>15293640
Rubber

guys. I did it. I’m the king of sleaze town

>>15293604
Chronograph if you need minute precision for longer periods than two hours, or greater precision, or just like the pushers and shit.

>>15293640
Perlon > regular metal bracelet but titanium > milanese anything

>>15293640
I like rubber bracelets.
Also beads of rice > jubilee

I bought this one without thinking
bros tell me I did alright

>>15293678
Ya did alright

>>15293678
love the retro styling and small (proper) sizing of watches like these

>>15293708
That was exactly what I was aiming for

>>15293676
what about richard mille lol

>>15293676

post the real one

>>15293659
king of poundland look, kek

the yellow is actually very nice with the purple

>>15293659
Looks cyberpunk

>>15293543
What the fuck were they thinking? The Yacht-Master II looks like something Invicta would come up with.

>>15293739
gotta love the super tacky YACHT-MASTER II on the bezel too

>>15293739
>>15293742
You two are just not the audience. Looks like a good replacement to sell to dumbfuck zoomers looking for a Submariner

>>15293614
It’s actually closer to 25 (24:39).

Why the fuck should I wear a watch when I can see the time on my phone?

>inb4 looks
might as well get a pocket watch and chain in on my vest or wear a fedora

GAS THE POOR
EAT THE RICH

>>15293758
contrary to zoomer habits, its very rude to take out your phone in the middle of a conversation or dinner, as if you cant wait to end it with the other party.

>>15293659
You only adopted the sleeze
I was born into it. Molded by it.

>>15293762
Traditionally it would have been rude to wear a watch to such a party in the first place, since doing so meant you had somewhere else to be.

>>15293769
then why were dress watches invented

>>15293776
You still shouldn’t wear dress watches with a tuxedo.

>>15293532
>>15293545
>>15293678
really not a fan of the day date on these things.
otherwise they look really intriguing to me.

seems like a nice piece in good condition anon.
i'm now tempted to buy one myself.

>>15293776

For formal occasions, but not black or white tie. These days it's less of a faux pas though, I believe.

>>15293782
Orient is fun. They're cheap and I find it somewhat hilarious that they, in some way, look like bootleg Chinese watches yet have actually very well made mechanisms inside

>>15293600
It's kinda neat but it looks uncomfortable as fuck on the wrist. I much prefer the look of the first version, better aesthetic and looks far more accommodating to a human wrist.

>>15293785
I'm going to be very blunt here but etiquette is completely dead and people that are still concerned with it, those under the age of 40, are almost always cringelords on the spectrum.
If anything I would argue not wearing a 'nice' watch with a good suit would look strange on a formal party.

>>15293776
For the office.

>>15293790
>I'm going to be very blunt here but etiquette is completely dead
you are in for a rude awakening, zoomzoom

>>15293793
I'm 28 and see people wear black suits to work sometimes

>>15293786
The good ole Bagelsport is what some of the colors remind me of.

>>15293790
>etiquette is dead
for the middle and the lower classes yes

>>15293795
Yeah that's normal. Mourning attire and Black Tie aren't the same thing as lounge/business suits.

>>15293798
i worked in a high-end restaurant, etiquette is very much dead in the upper class as well

>>15293803
those suits are obviously a dark navy, not black

>>15293790

It's still somewhat a thing for the people that actually attend black tie or white tie events. Not a lot a lot of those around..

That said, some other more general forms of etiquette still exist in Europe. Like holding your knife and fork in the correct hands.

>>15293798
>>15293793
I don't mean it negatively but I'm from a middle class household myself and etiquette outside of obvious stuff like not eating with your hands was not a part of my upbringing nor of any people that I know

>>15293730
>>15293734
thanks a plenty, anons
>>15293765
Curses. you win this battle old man, but I’ll be back!

>>15293809
There's navy and black both.

>>15293808
>high end restaurant
whats that suppose to mean
wealth doesnt equal class

Can someone recommend the perfect one watch under $1000? I have 6.25 in. wrists so I max out at a 48mm lug to lug and I prefer something smaller

Thoughts...?

cop or not?
San Martin bronze watch, glow in the dark Great Wave of Kangawa
domed sapphire, 200WR, $280. NH35 40mm

>>15293849
Perfect for what?
A nice mechanical dress watch isn't going to help you any if you need to swim or set an alarm.

>>15293855

>>15293855
I'm sure r/watches will like it

>>15293855
>>15293873
looks pretty cool to me. $280 isnt super cheap but san martin seems like it has a decent reputation for build quality and youre not going to find something like that for cheaper. id say go for it if youre in love with it and dont have to many other watches that size/pricepoint

>>15293855
I like san martin. I don't like bronze watches or super detailed dials like that one.
Their 62 mas clone, one of their pilot watches, or their daytona clone are the way to go.

>>15293563
where can i buy this?

>>15293855
Honestly nothing wrong with it if you like the look, I much prefer San Martins with no logo

>>15293855
I hate the bronze.

>>15293765
Where did you get this?

>>15293855
the paddle shaped seconds hand with red and white tip is a nice japan coloured touch. Never seen one quite like that before

>>15293920
yema superman also has it

>>15293897
I dunno if they ship worldwide, but I found it on watchnation.

>>15293563
Why is the day wheel alignment fucked up in the goddamn promo picture?

>>15293920
I think it first occured on one of the Seiko MM300 Models

Alright boys, it's here. My camera is a pos but it looks pretty good in person. If it's a fake it's a pretty damn good one. I'm going for a jog and will test the waterproofness in the shower. I'll be back with movement pics afterwards.

must have been a really super vintage watch because even the cheapest shitters have jewels now

>>15294219
Not him but I don't care for the window pointing out the JEWELS.

>>15294221
Still pretty common to put jewels on the face.

>>15294257
yes you're right i would. but there is charm that some of these pieces get with age. i still would not buy of them today except as a vintage oddity. No different than some of the digital casios that people like

I’m new to watches and am looking for a longer strap. I would like a 21mm genuine Alligator or Croc band that is longer than 8”. I bought a cheap Barton band and it’s a little small for my wrist. Can someone recommend a band or a site to find one? It’s for an Orient Helios, so nothing crazy priced please.

>>15294125
I like it, it's a fresh look for a diver

>>15294264
those casio watches still look pretty good and are very functional. I wear them whenever I'm going to a third world country or doing something rough. in the military pretty much everyone is wearing an F91W or a G-Shock square

>>15294286i mean some the calculator watches et al. even the regular ones would have been viewed similarly until this retro wave shit started. they are functional tho luv me gshock simple as

>>15294307
yeah the calculator watch is a little much.

Unpopular opinion: Invicta is the chad brand
These watches have SOUL.

I bet a lot of these watchfags are virgins who are desperately hoping having a Rolex will finally get them laid.

Guess what girls don't know about neither give a shit about "muhhhh precision crafted" watch movements and all these obscure foreign name luxury brands.

If you crave attention for your watch your only option is the CHADVICTA. Walk into a room with one of these suckers and everyone will instantly know about your watch, glaring in JEALOUSY.
INVICTA simply EXUDES testosterone.
Having an office meeting with your boss who has some cuckboy rollie or omega, with all the stacies there listening? Simply roll up your sleeve I guarantee you all the stacies will be fully focused on your MAGNIFICENT TIMEPIECE it just EXUDES EXCELLENCE.
These watches even put obnoxious jogger rappers who be trying to stunt with their soft womanly "iced out rollie" ok princess, your watch is TWICE the size just like your manhood.
You weak pussy simpboys talk shit about INVICTA, because you are absolutely INTIMIDATED. Deep down you just know you can't pull off something which requires such ABSOLUTE ALPHA DOMINATION of every weak simp in the room at ALL times. NO other watch brand can compete. Basedko is the perfect example of the ESTROGEN brand for WEAK EFFEMINATE boys(not MEN), and that is why those are the most commonly found watches posted here.
INVICTA is here so let the WHIMPERS begin.

Hi!

BTW, just finished reading the previous thread.
HOLLY SHIT!!, there are some angry anons in here.

Long story short, I'm NOT anybody's an enemy and neither do I exploit anyone. I'm simply a lawyer than works in a very specialized area. That's it. I lurked 4chan since I was a senior and therefore I keep coming back whenever I have the chance.

IMHO most anons here have very interesting watches, disregarding if they are expensive or not.

Cheers!!

Btw, everybody's new Blue Chronometers are already in the mail. Hold tight!!

>>15294339
Now THIS is a watch for MEN.
You KNOW this is true.

>>15294339
A SUBMARINE will crumple in on itself before THIS watch will even get wet.

>>15294339
>>15294350
That's awful beyond any possible description.

how many people actually know that Invicta has almost 200 years of history?

>>15294356
Every other watch is a TINY chastity bracelet for WEAK DOMESTICATED childboys

Perfect example
>>15294349

>>15294129
Thanks for the consumer advice, this is the only watch I own everyone I know likes.
>>15294281
Thanks boss

How does one photograph the back of a watch without getting your tits and a strange saucer shaped circus mirror view of the room around you in the reflection? I was pretty gung-ho about opening it before, but I don't know if I want to potentially fuck up the gasket in a diver. At a certain accuracy I'm not really too angry if it's fake, moreso impressed and happy about the deal.

>>15294371
Just stop worrying about it. Let's assume it's fake. Even if it were, it's most likely using a real NH35 movement, which is the same thing as the 4R35 in a real samurai. At that point, how fake is it really? If it runs well and tells time accurately, let it go.
Really is a beautiful watch BTW

>>15294360
My watch doesn't even tell the right time, because I already KNOW what time it is.
its always time to destroy any bitches DROOLING SNATCH.
WHO cares about your + - 5 seconds time keeping accuracy.

>>15294365
this is the Invicta GRAND ARSENAL RESERVE. Coming in at 63mm, this is a watch not for the faint hearted!

We didnt give you permission to speak. There are REAL MEN discussing ACTUAL MENS timepieces.

I need my watches to be VERY waterproof, because the pussy juice always destroys my WEAK Rolex and soiko, so INVICTA provides me with a valuable product.

/wt/ meet up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the official Invicta hotel?

Hey /fa/ is this a good buy??

>>15294398
almost as charming as the changlish on AE

If i could cop one of these ridiculous Invictas for less than $40, i definitely would

>>15294409
yes sweetie. Drop us your grindr profile too

>>15294412
Their real value is like 2-3 dollars at most.

Rolex is just so wimpy, doing everything it can to try and copy INVICTA, but they know it they can only ever just be a pathetic clone.
INVICTA is over 200 years old. While Rolex is not even 100 years old.
The stereotype that Rolex buyers dont know anything about watches is true.

Ummmm hello, Based Department?

any more information on this watch?

>>15293659
hi are you Canada poster?

>>15294381
My intense paranoia is leading me to speculate that you are the ebay seller.

>>15294400
What a beautiful salmon gouche dial, with braided Italian 22k gold around the entire circumference. With the chronograph function, this watch is as functional as it is stunning. Small cultivated Akoya pearls for the indices add a restrained and timeless elegance. And finally, the signed 950 platinum seconds hand floats above, like a ribbon of shimmering moonlight on a sunset sea.

Speculate: What will be THEE Tudor release for 2020 (they've stated they will release 1 watch this year, which will become their 'best-seller')

>>15294448
Probably new BB58 colorways.

>>15294450
That would be boring. After 2019's huge failure for Tudor, I hope they do something big (like a marine nationale reissue). sadly I think you're right.

>>15294448

idk but they literally just removed the Ranger from their website

>>15294349
I like your posts not-a-drug-dealer anon. Of course there's a degree of jealousy from anyone who can't own cool expensive watches like you, but you're not a dickhead "I'm so rich" poster as far as I've seen. We should be happy wealthy anons are posting rarer pieces.

>>15294280
how much is your ceiling on what you'd spend?

I just fucking nooted all over my dive watch not gonna clean it off

>>15294454
Yes I noted that. I thought for sure they'd get rid of the north flag and P01 as well. They still have the wretched stainless-and-gold monstrosities from 2019. very sad.

now we're talking, with the in-house BB58 movement (12mm height), maybe some crown guards?

the BB58 is the biggest meme watch of all-time. i'm fucking sick of hearing about it nonstop for the last two years. and it's aging like milk

>>15294518
A large part of the charm of the BB58 is not having crown guards. You put guards on it and it instantly takes away from the watch. Crown guards naturally add asymmetry and you have to worry about making them look well integrated and refined. It's more refined to simply leave them off.

After spending years collecting mechanicals I've started to see the charm of digital quartz watches

Hello /wt/ I haven't been here in 4 years, I see nothing has changed. I use to have a few sub £300 watches and work for the man, started my own business now I have arrived in watch and car nirvana.

>>15294528
true, one thing about the BB58's charm is that it's an homage to the Tudor 7924.

In different colorways, does it bastardize the 7924? I don't know. 39mm is a great size for it, no doubt. Sadly I don't think we'll ever see a Tudor diver in 40mm (or a Sub-style diver).

The BB58 and the GMT were/are homeruns. I just hope Tudor has more greatness up its sleeve than different colorways.

>>15294536

that bitch in your gif would have wetted herself if she saw a man with a ROLEX

>>15294550
true
>>15294554
true

>>15294541
I have heard that the BB58 is kind of played out and Tudor knows it. Everyone who wanted one has one by now and at this point they're no longer special nor are they a deal. When the retarded hype buyer crowd falls away it's probably best to try something else, and that might be a smart move.
A new colorway for the BB58 would be really uninspired and I think difficult to pull off. The design of it is already perfect and the colors are a large part of why.
My personal wish is that Tudor leans in to the Pelagos, which is an amazing watch. Lately, exotic dial colors like orange, purple, teal, and green are picking back up in popularity, and the styling of the Pelagos can take advantage of that better. I would like to see that. But who knows what they'll actually do.

>>15294499
Yeah I'm deranged

>>15294567
Oh man, I'd love a 40mm pelagos, about 12-13mm high with different colorways. I'd buy one in a heartbeat considering colors.

>>15294575
Same. A man can hope.

>>15294437

The whole watch industry took a gigantic hit this year so we may actually start seeing them listening to customers for once and doing it with urgency. Smaller watches, better value, easier access to both the watches and information about them. Maybe marketing harder to rich poojeets instead of rich chinks.

>>15293613

Why do most of them wear blue ties? Is there something I'm missing here?

>>15294624
most men's fashion is subdued. lots of black, blue, and brown. and in some particularly sensitive places even something like wearing a red tie can be seen as some kind of garish mental office power play bullshit so the safe option is to wear a blue tie too.
this is the existential horror of the world in which we live.

>you're not a dickhead "I'm so rich" poster as far as I've seen
Let's test this then, shall we. My mom died from cancer, my dad and grandma have significantly diminished mental faculties due to old age and depression, and I have no other living relatives to help. Everything we had, which wasn't much since I'm both from a poor country, and from the poorer socioeconomic class in it, went to my dad's treatment over the last 10 years. The resulting poverty and family situation ruined my entire life and all the prospects I've ever had as far as money making goes, which weren't much in the first place.

Will you paypal me the value of one single watch from your 10+ watch collection, so that I can continue living and paying for my dad's and grandma's existence for the next 10 years, and possibly make something out of myself while I'm still alive (did I mention I have a disfiguring cancer? not many people will "give me a chance" when they see my face) or will you leave us to rot in a ditch?

>>15294681

>>15294681

>>15294683
Really, what does then? Because good people have this strong impulse to help others that they find practically impossible to ignore even when it jeopardizes their own existence. Perhaps you've never met one yet.
>>15294684
I'm afraid it's my actual living reality.

>>15294680
when you have -too much- money most goals cease to be a challenge.

Want something? buy it. Need to solve a problem? throw money at it. The dopamine and self-esteem boost that normally rewards the individual after a difficult struggle through hardship is no longer present.

This is why rich people are often listless and do all sorts of meme shit, they get very bored with their life. Theres even a term for it, "Affluenza"

>"Symptoms of affluenza include a myopic focus on work and earning money, strained personal relationships, depression, a self-image tied directly to financial status, and difficulty interacting with or relating to others."

>>15294696
When someone says to me "hey asshole, I hate you for being rich, you are probably a bad person, unless you prove otherwise by giving me money" I feel far less inclined to help that person in any way.

>>15294741
Why? Are they not still in need? Do you not imagine that they would be more positively inclined towards you if you helped, instead of reinforcing their clearly rightful opinion of you? Do you only "help" people who grovel and suck your cock? Is that what a "good person" is? It seems that you're just making excuses, but what does a poorfag like me know.

>>15294681
everyone has problems

You just seem like a shitty person.

$20 AE watch
curren is all over the lowest end of AE

they are a step above the $3 watches but the last time i bought one of those for curiosity it didnt last a week

not sure how durable currens are. They do get a lot of sales though. You can see that the date wheel is very close to the centre and its a small (cheap) movement.

and also this is basically casio territory already, these cost around the same.

>>15294792
Those Casios blow. Bezel feels like shit, the whole watch looks and feels cheap. The Curren is probably on the same level

>>15294696
>Because good people have this strong impulse to help others that they find practically impossible to ignore even when it jeopardizes their own existence
This is retarded.

>>15294604
ples respond?

Can somebody recommend me a watch, i know nothing about them and purely want something aesthetic.

Pic related is wrist, could it sorta match the goldish colouring or tortoise shell of the glasses.

Budget: not sure how much nice watches cost 1k? 2k?.

I hate gaudy and loud, something slim, classic, simple. Maybe leather band? Just for daily wear.

>>15293676
Now how many of those skipped polishing the bottom of the seconds hand because "noone will see it anyway"?

>>15294803
Just get some Citizen Eco-Drive and buy a separate leather strap for it.

So, disdain for plebs.

>>15294803
look up seiko presage models
1-2k is a strange range, you're in quality limbo. lots of good value propositions above and below this but not right at this range. maybe look into Ball watches, check out the trainmaster

>>15294803
Nomos orion perhaps (or look at all of their offerings)

>>15293621
Just try them on, look in the mirror and decide for yourself. It depends on what kind of impression you are trying to achieve.

>>15294801
would love to help but i dont know jack shit about movements. Maybe ask on WUS

>>15294818
but that logo is literally less than a year old.

>>15294803
do you want a set and forget battery quartz watch or do you want a old school mechanical spinning thing?
dont really need 1-2k for good watches. depends on what you want

>>15294801
Some Valjoux 72 variant or copy perhaps. Almost all vintage two pusher chronos used it in the 40s to 70s I think.

>>15294830
Thanks anyway.

>>15294835
I see, I can start from there so thanks. These pics are from an ebay article, I have the same watch but I'm not too sure about opening it myself. Its an Ardath chrono.

>>15294803
orient star classic (38.5mm). This is underrated value AF, super clean lines, perfect size. In house movement, hacking, handwinding.

its like $300 and you get the best line this 100+ yr old company offers now. Its only low because Orient is shit at marketing.

>>15293551
>>15294830
what is that watch?? is there an article or date or something?

>>15294830
>that logo is literally less than a year old
It was outdated when they introduced it.

>>15294852

>>15294803

>>15294810
Thanks, looked at a few of those, pretty affordable and simple and some id consider purchasing.

>>15294824
preferably below 1-2k, as its just an accessory i dont care for them that much. it seems a lot im looking at are around 350-750? Maybe something like the Presage SPB161J1. i like the white face but not the silver detail, would also like brown or tan strap.

>>15294827
I like the Orion 38 date white look, but would again gold face holder (whats that called)? and a tan or brown strap.

>>15294830
I dont really mind as long is it looks good. the mechanical spinny gears do look good but im assuming more maintenance and price?

>>15294847
Yeah i really like that, i think i like the thinner lines on something like: ORIENT STAR: Mechanical Classic Watch, Leather Strap - 38.7mm (EL09001W)

Is there anything i need to know just in general about watches? Brands to look out for or avoid sorta thing? how long can i expect the watch to last for etc, once i measure my wrist is that the same as the strap length?

Appreciate the help.

>>15293963
That can't be real, the day wheel isn't small enough for the text to be angled like that but still in full view, unless it's already printed misaligned or something. Poor photoshop by the ad department?

>>15294873
>the mechanical spinny gears do look good but im assuming more maintenance and price
in general yes. The most expensive and prestigious watches are 99.9% mechanical. They have less accuracy than battery quartz. +- 10 or so secs a day is very normal. But the charm is in the mechanical aspect of it--think about hundreds of tiny little parts and whirling gears and springs working together, very old school tech. These watches need external source of power, either by winding the crown (handwind) and/or wearing the watch (automatic). There are also small things you need to look out for (Avoiding magnets, sudden shocks, setting the time between 9pm and 3am, moisture)

>Brands to look out for or avoid
AVOID fashion brands. Shit like Armani, CK, even Fossil. They are not real watch companies, outsource their manufacturing to mystery factories in asia, and typically use the cheapest movements possible, its like 90% markup.

>how long can i expect the watch to last
10-20 years or so no service, if you take care of it. Over time the lubricating oils dry up, the spring wears out, sometimes even rust when moisture seeps in (improper care). Depending on the watch, a service might not be worth it. With service a watch can last forever as parts get swapped out or repaired.

>once i measure my wrist is that the same as the strap
no, the strap is longer than your wrist and you adjust it yourself.

dont worry about straps that much, most people swap out their straps (its easy) for different colours, to extend the life of the leather, for different materials (like rubber, nylon etc). You can find everything from $2 to $80+++ straps online.

ideally you should not wear the same leather strap daily, leather needs a break. If you wear it daily it'll get gross quick from all the sweat and moisture. And if you want your leather strap to last longer I also recommend getting a deployant(butterfly) clasp so you arent bending it to shit everytime you take off or put on the watch.

>>15294932
>setting the time between 9pm and 3am
Isnt this only relevant for setting the date?

Reissue Submariner or mini Sub? Maybe updating the lineup to be a bit slimmer like the BB58?

Are there any decent clasps I can fit onto a NATO? Butterfly clasps look like a hassle, I'd rather have a trifold.

>>15294198
I like Nomos but I'd hardly call it luxury. Their higher ending offerings absolutely, but their normal lineup not so much. That being said they're pretty nice watches at their price.

>>15295155

Due to fortuitous circumstances at work I have $15,000 saved to spend on watches. Looking to get into the luxury watch game.

What should I get /wt/? I am thinking I can do a pretty solid 3 watch collection - diver, dress, and casual. Suggestions? Will gladly post pics and do reviews for you guys later

>>15295213
I'd get a panoreserve, which mogs even Lange for a fraction of the price.

>>15295213
Spend it all on this.

>>15295213
>he thinks $15,000 can buy 3 (three) luxury watches

>>15295213
Buy an OP from Rolex for around 8k. Wait 2 years for it to arrive, wear it once to take a pic for insta then sell for a profit.

>>15295213
Slightly outdated chart but still largely holds up.

>>15295226

>>15295213
15k gets you a GMT Master 2 but that would only be one watch. What do you already own and what do you like?
I'd go:
>Datejust 36
Perfect every day watch, about 5-7k
>Tudor Pelagos
The only flawless watch they make, great diver with a really clever clasp. About 4k USD
>dress watch
I dont really know, maybe a JLC Reverso or their other more classic designs. I wouldn't worry too much about dress watches really if you have the two watches above your pretty well set. Spend the remaining dollars on a Speedmaster motfm or a vacation.

>>15293834

Richfag watch looks like a poorfag watch when polish gets scratched off
How do you cope?

>>15295236
I was thinking of getting a seamaster or super ocean heritage 2 for diver and an iwc pilot for casual. Where I am those are both doable around 5k.

It's the dress watch I am unsure of. Honestly I may just do two watches. Divers are fine with suits. Can maybe cop a grey market Rolex.

>>15295248
don't fall for the rolex meme, they are underwhelming and only for impressing stupid people. reverso duoface is the king of dress watches.

>>15295248
Under no circumstances get a Breitching unless it's a Navitimer with the in house movement and you can safely throw away the money.
If you scratch your Rolex itch first you can wait a little while and then decide what you're missing in your collection and get that with the rest of your money.
Grand Seiko also makes nice watches and their quality is second to none kn that proce bracket. Not all of them are nice stylistically though.

>>15294681
Name a charity in your country that isn't a front for warlords and doesn't take a fuckton of the money for "administrative and advertising" costs and I'll donate the price of my last watch. I'm not notaDD though, so it won't be much.

>>15295247
i dont understand how do people even scratch up their watches like that

are their houses a constant hallway of narrow door frames?

I got a Jaeger lecoultre reverso with a very old watch band that needs exchanging. I'm not very versed in watches as this was part of heirloom I received. Should I take it to a jeweler to replace the strap? I can't seem to find a tutorial on how to do it like other watches.

Thanks!

If you treat your watch like a tool instead of a priceless ornament you only wear for 2 days a year, they get scratched up pretty easily.

>>15294788
How much do you make for all these shitposts? Do you get paid by the watchmaker, or is this a mental illness? These watches are objectively garbage.

>tool watch

>>15295297
i suppose you could but i dont see how is it different from a normal watch

>>15295295
They don't. That watch is designed to look well-worn with little use, so that its owner appears a man of action.

>>15295316
really? so it scratches up like super duper easily? huh

>>15295332
Not "super duper", but its owner doesn't need to climb rocks and strangle bears during his other 24 hours per day. This addresses the problem where many big-money luxury watches are actually quite resistant to scuffles and such.

The screw heads are also fake.

>>15295295
Some people are just naturally inclined to destroy everything they wear.
>>15295302
That's not true at all. All of my clothing, shoes and watches always look pretty prestine after 1 year of wearing them while other people such as my brother could steal something of mine, wear it once and they would be destroyed upon return.

>>15295335
>This addresses the problem where many big-money luxury watches are actually quite resistant to scuffles and such.

but... why would this be a problem? dont people want their watches to remain nice? or do they want intentionally -want- scruff marks on their $20,000 watch?

so this watch was designed to get those?

>>15295316
COPE
The glossy polished finishes are what make it attractive in the first place

A high end luxury watch causes more problems than it solves

Do I wear it daily or conserve it to reduce wear and tear?
Do I wash it and risk damage if it's not water resistant?
Do I service it and how often? Am I ok with getting raped on the fees?
Do I get it polished while being serviced or not? Looks vs value retention dilemma
Do I sell it now to get out of it or do I keep it until all the boomers die and no one's around that cares about watches except Hong Kongers and Singaporeans?

Imagine cucking like this

>>15295258
What's wrong with Breitling?

>>15295355
You shouldn't get a high end watch if any of this is a concern.

If you can't afford a one grand service cost every 7 years, you shouldn't have bought a 10 grand watch to begin with.

what's the point

>>Dear all;

I had sent in my 3940p for a service evaluation; and received an estimate recently; other than the usual things, I was told there is a crack on the moon disc and it needs to be replaced; however, extremely surprising was the cost involved of about $2000 for moon disc replacement and dial refurbishment; this is in addition to the standard service of the movement which is a little under $2000; coming to a roughly grand total of $4000; case polishing, if done would be an additional charge.
Estimated turn around time given was about 5 to 6 months!!
Just wanted to check with other collectors, if this is pretty normal / standard charge for a perpetual calendar service from Patek? seemed a bit too high to me!
Should I get the case polished? does Patek do the laser polishing like Lange does? there are a few scratches here and there and on the solid case back after 17 years of use.
I would appreciate advice and input; thanks in advance.

As your watch degrades and its value drops the service cost is the same or more
