I want to get a reverso for my wedding and engrave the date on the back side. The only problem is, there is no chance in hell that I will ever marry anyone.

>wearing a toolwatch to a suit

>>15426646
its probably too fat to fit under the cuff.

>>15426654
Mine is around 16,5cm on the narrowest point, but I wear my watches up on my arm and they usually sit were my wrist is 17-18cm. which is aroun 7 inches if im not mistaken, I don't like wearing my watches like fucking brazelets, watches muys be worn properly, wearing www.strawpoll.me/20652085 watches is the same as wearing pants like niggers do showing half of their asses.

>>15426661
My father would be triggered by that response, he has worked all his lifetime in environments where the size under the 1m mark was expressed in MM (worked in electronics, industrial machinery) so when a non scientific pleb like me talked in centimeters he got mad.

>>15426691
plenty of people wear divers(aka tool watches) with suits nowadays

get with the times grandpa

here is the stylish and popular hollywood actor Jonah Hill wearing a hulk with a suit.

>>15426697
And that leads to another problem, watches must be concealed by the suit, barely visible, this is not casino Royale and OMEGA marketing, wearing a big watch and fully showing it,is tasteless.

>>15426718
Holy shit that suit, he bought it when he was fat and then lost weight?, and its fuccking ripped at the bottom, lmao

>>15426642
>there is no chance in hell that I will ever marry anyone

why?

>>15426554
>Wow, Omega made ANOTHER speedy special edition? How do these guys just keep on getting hit after hit? That's some truly inspired watch design, bravo.
Fuck me, I bet other watch brands look at Omega and wish they had one watch they could endlessly milk to get seemingly infinite money from their paypigs. You'd think the fucking speedy flew the Apollo to the moon all by its self.

how the f*ck does a nomos watch look nornal on a 6.25 inch wrist? im a wristlet myself at 6.75 inches and nomos looks so oversized on my tiny wrists.

>>15426728
Maybe he's referring to the lowly state of western women. Brain damaged by birth control pills, every retarded thought they have getting praised by their idiot friends on social media and highly popular, dedicated websites for women to have affairs at their fingertips. She can take your kids, half your shit and a portion of your future earnings with one false accusation.

You need to be very, VERY careful about getting married.

>>15426742
That's a 35mm ladies watch

>>15426746

there are plenty of women out there that are wholesome and yearn for a traditional marriage. you just need to 1) look in the right places 2) get to know them truly well before getting serious.

>>15426742
Those lugs are too big for his hands.

The case is like a 36mm but the lug to lug is probably around 50 kilometers.

>>15426742
because the ludwig has a 35mm version and that is 99% the one he is wearing

all of those divers look well sized/ well proportioned on their wrists though
like there is space on either side and they dont look gigahuge

even a small difference like here, the /fa/ness drops quickly

>>15426848
Specifically this one. The bracelet on the steel one is too short so it's either the gold one, a chrono, a diver or nothing.

I chuckled but in hindsight asking what watch to wear to a fucking funeral was in poor taste. I'll go watchless.
Just looking at a watch during a funeral is probably rude.

>>15426848
I don't think it's appropriate to wear any watch to a funeral.

>>15426862
Probably not,specially if you usually wear those watches.I wear casios and I go with casios to funerals and I don't give a fuck, and never someone said me something about my watch. Only people interested in gossips and stuff maybe will notice the watch, the rest not.

>>15426862

Gold is also fine if you're a gypsy.

Well my Mickey Mouse Boctok arrived from lovely Ukraine. The strap didn't come with it, just one I had lying around.

Feels good. Too bad about the phone lens fucking up proportions

>>15426917
nah you're just a wristlet

>>15426909
Yeah thanks. After a little thought I decided on no watch. Checking the time would be bad form and watches should be the last thing on my mind leading up to a funeral.
It's an immediate family member so I had this dumb idea that maybe if I wore a specific watch to the funeral I'd be reminded of that person whenever I looked at the watch.

>>15426914

That's a nice idea, and I don't think it's distasteful to be thinking about it. To me it's just part of the outfit, but perhaps you'll be more comfortable if you don't wear any.

yea dont do it
my grandfather passed earlier this year and we had a 5 day long funeral (chinese)
I was very close to him and I did wear my new watch. Even though its a seiko shitter too it was "shiny" enough and in hindsight I kinda regret it because people did notice and I felt uncomfortable/ conscious of it

>>15426914

For dial symmetry, the dial is split into 3 sections.
The first section has only I
The second introduces V
The third introduces X
IIII was also used interchangeably with IV by the Romans.

>>15426986
Not going to watch that autists video.
The only problem with omega is the endless stream of "limited" and special editions of every watch which really devalues the classic models.

>>15426798
It was cool when it wasn't the norm and more people had to wear suits. When Ian Fleming first wrote james bond it was set during a time when men were expected to wear suits whenever he wasn't involved in manual labour or swimming. James bond wearing a tool watch with a suit was basically saying "I have to wear a suit, but i also have to be ready for action anytime." It's a small hint to the dangerous side of his job. It caught on because people that this was cool and bond is a style icon. Now it's just accepted although I dont personally like the look.

>>15426976
>people did notice
Yeah I've noticed at past family gatherings that it's mainly the old/elderly who take notice of what watch you're wearing since watches were actually a thing for a significant portion of their lives.
This funeral is will be fairly elderly oriented so it's surely best to play it safe. If I tried to pull some kind of watch memorial stunt they probably wouldn't get it.

>>15426974
Take it up with the Soveit Union. I have read in the past the Mickey Mouse may not even be copyrighted but it's never been tested in court.
>>15426976

Thank you. I am in the EU. It was shipped on the 3rd of this month so it was closer to 3 weeks. Worth the wait though. Are you far from the Ukraine?
>>15426997
>If I tried to pull some kind of watch memorial stunt they probably wouldn't get it.
If you really want to have a watch associated with the person you could also just put it in your pocket, wear it in the car on the way home etc.

>>15426907
I think it's acceptable so long as you say "OK, ciao" when you leave.

>>15426917
Don't blame the camera, when you put your arm to check the time, the wrist becomes narrower, that's why if you are a wristlet, your photos on that position will look not very good even if the watch fits.To do a proper photo, put your arm on your pant pocket or the arm resting on your chest, and in front of a mirror, take the photo.

>>15426976
>Even though its a seiko shitter too it was "shiny" enough and in hindsight I kinda regret it because people did notice and I felt uncomfortable/ conscious of it
Maybe its a cultural thing, I wore Casio Royale to three funerals in the last 6 months (last one my grandma's) and nobody said nothing about watches or even outfits, not a single gossip about anything.

>>15426917
What's your wrist circ? I'm considering teh same watch but I'm a 7" wristlet

>>15426917
also, post a pic of full body with that watch

>>15426986
Modern omega has essentially nothing to do with the Omega that made that watch.

>>15427034
Relax nerd. Bizarrely enough people around me haven't been dropping dead so this is the first funeral I've wanted to attend in about 20 years.

>>15426718
at least his hands are skinny

>>15426738
who cares as long as it looks good XD

at least it's not a limited edition

To all the borderline narcissists in this thread:

NOBODY, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY GIVES A FUCKING SHIT WHAT WATCH YOU WEAR TO THE GODDAMN FUNERAL. THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU, PEOPLE DO NOT NOTICE EVERY STEP YOU MAKE!!11!!!!

That is only your insecurity and narcissism.
If you wear something out of place, poeple will assume that it's a piece of memory. To all the funerals i've been, people wore all kinds of watches. Nobody will shit on you if you do not respect the dresscode and wear a leather band watch. Most of the time watch is hidden under the cuff anyway, you fucking autists.

>>15427175
I assumed it was some kind of asian thing, lel. Seriously, as long as it’s not bling a watch is just formalwear.

>>15427175
sounds like somebody wore the wrong watch one time and is insecure about it.

>>15427181
Asians are retarded in general with their gay tradition of "face". Boomer dogshit that just makes everybody a lying cunt just to not be shamed. If i ever had to be a businessman in china, i'd just massmurder everybody i deal with, just because they would piss me off.
>>15427182
Keep digging, you might find something. But it will probably not be a dead guy, xDDDDD

so

what ever happened to the "craig ship" guy that was spamming this general nonstop?

>>15427175
Where I live, the only thing about funerals is wearing dark clothes, black not necessary, can be green,brown...pants can be even jeans, shoewear can be even sneakers or boots as long as they are not light coloured. And the day before the funeral when you go to see the family of the dead person, you can go with any clothes,nobody is gonna say you anything, you can go even full slav with an adidas tracksuit and the family will be happy because you are there on that hard moment for them, they are thinking about someone who died, not about fashion.

>>15426907
>Just looking at a watch during a funeral is probably rude.
That's the traditional thought. Not wearing a watch shows you have no other appointments or nowhere else to be.

The people who browse Hodinkee are all poor, clueless LARPers pretending they are Preston Uppercrust IV because they could never participate in these conversations otherwise (that's me), or clueless, souless, hipster nouveau riche who unironically think Rolex and Patek are on the same tier of quality and believe things like each individual Rolex takes 1 year to make because they live in this huge fucking bubble where money doesn't matter.
They will buy this shit because "hey I like Hodinkee and this is probably the best ___ ever made since Hodinkee is selling it, and it will impress all my equally stupid friends who like Hodinkee"
It's best to not even think about this shit

>>15427547

Yesterday I discovered this dude channel, the guy apparently is rich and has no taste, looks like a kid with money, really amusing, but nice since he does not act like a pompous douchebag.
Watched this video, other in which he bough 150k $ in watches for his employees, and other video in which he surprised his cameraman(who is the dude who runs his channel) with a watch and he allowed him to chose the watch with ''no cost limit'', he was even looking at pateks and the rich guy was happy, the cameraman entered at the store with a G shock and left the room with a shiny Panerai.

https://youtu.be/GrowpuU-jLw

Seriously,w atch the video, the dude is buying shiny shitters like he was buying candy.

>>15427615
The guy is a prat. People just watch his videos to see a complete idiot with lots of money and zero taste buy lots of expensive shit.

>>15427613
The comments. The amount of people who comment on Hodinkee articles and videos is small and they get to know each other.

>>15427547
They are reading Hodinkee to buy Hodinkee-curated "collector's pieces" Hodinkee hooked in a bunch of new money folks who lacked deeper knowledge about horology and couldn't/wouldn't afford the time and the research it takes to get familiar with the vintage market. Despite providing little to none original research and offering vintage pieces in questionable condition/authenticity they've managed to manufacture a new generation of badly educated but affluent collectors to whom they can sell pretty much everything they want to.
>You're still in your 30's, you make big money and have no obligations, you've already bought some ovepriced vintage Rolexes/Universals from us in the past, our market research shows that you purchase, on average, three watches per year with an average value of $7,000 or higher, so you can easily afford to spend the third of your monthly wage on this travel clock. You can display it in your office, it'll be sure to impress all the other Hodinkee readers in your work/social circle and with time it might turn into a collector's piece. (It won't.)

>Each hourglass is hand blown from one single piece of crystallized jewish tears from the victims of Auschwitz, in Basel, of all places. Filling each piece is not sand, but rather a incredible amount of tiny nanoballs each coated in jewish ashes. To be more specific, each hourglass contains 6 million nanoballs. When the glass is turned from one side to the other, the nanoballs fall to the ground and create total chaos in the bottom chamber of the hourglass. These balls quetch and oy vey around in a frenzied way, but within the most serene of Newson designs, you hardly notice.

this is still not correct though
hodinkee usually collaborates with big brands. these I can see the appeal for. but this is "hodinkee" branded, which has no reputation.
the supreme brick is also different because supreme is a whole brand on its own where the logo means everything.
if hodinkee had partnered with fucking hamilton or something then I could see this making more sense. but they didn't. it's their own product which has no value at all.

The rich idiots who buy Hodinkee shit will spend 10,000 dollars on a Hodinkee hourglass just to have it on their desk so that when their rich idiot friends visit they will see it and say "cool hourglass, I love Hodinkee too"
They will spend thousands just for that one moment of recognition

>>15427714
>the supreme brick is also different because supreme is a whole brand on its own where the logo means everything
Then perhaps I could interest you in this stunning Rolex Anvil™ for the very reasonable price of $50,000

Any other watches like pic related and the Hamilton Khaki? I really like that simple military style.

>>15427733
And when exactly did you drop out of high school if your reading comprehension is so bad?
>>15427774
I mean this is kind of closer to the point but you're still missing the context. I think the supreme brick is fucking stupid. But they started a trend of slapping their logo on random shit and it became their thing, so the brick at least "makes sense" in that way.
A hodinkee clock doesn't make sense since they're not a clockmaker.

>>15427776
Just look up "field watch" there are a shitload

Just got my first watch worth a damn--the Seiko SNK795 (Seiko 5)--and the bracelet is a bit shite. I can't find the model listed on strapcode, but I am looking to get a new one asap, preferably a heavy stainless engineer style band...where should I look? It's a 20 mm lug width. Sorry for not contributing to the thread--I'm still quite new to all this. Thanks.

Thanks mang. I really love the thing already, feels good.

>>15426860
no diver over 40mm, thanks.

a flieger should be no larger than 42mm (and that should really be the top end of watch sizes).

a datejust 36 is an everyday man's watch. some say it's "too toolish" to be a dress watch, I'd agree. it fits no dress watch criterion, and is something you can swim in.

Why haven't you taken the slim pill yet, /wt/? 15mm? 8mm? Those watches are just too thick. 4mm is the sweet spot.

>>15427776

Imagine posting on a fashion board and not understanding the central thesis of luxury branding.

The whole point is that you can blow five figures on something stupid. Nobody who has a Rolex doesn't know that a $12 Casio actually keeps better time. It's a status symbol, as in "I am better than you". That one moment of recognition is not one moment. You see that stupidly expensive item once and then you remember forever that that person is better than you. And I say better than you because your brain has a very rough, primordial way of keeping track of your status compared to others. That pathway is mediated by serotonin, and it's why we get SSRI's as antidepressants. Your status is maybe the #1 indicator of your overall happiness, and it's why the ultra-wealthy are absolutely addicted to dickwaving with eachother with expensive shit.

no, hes implying those with REAL money wouldnt care

ie they are so rich they are beyond caring. Objects no longer hold monetary value (since they can just buy anything they want) Objects become mere trinkets. To them purchasing a patek is the same as casio, they hold the same weight. The price tag disappears in their brain.

so its only people who are "slightly rich but not that rich" who still focus on money as if it is something to be concerned or even to be thought about.

These things are a clusterfuck to read and the lume sucks. I know because I own one, though mine's the normal black and orange one instead of the Blue Angels version. The Skyhawk is essentially the same watch but MUCH less cluttered and easier to read, and the markers are actually big enough to have decent lume.

>>15428091
And the Navihawk for comparison because why not. It also wears noticeably larger for some reason despite being basically the same watch, the Skyhawk is a big watch but wears decently but the Navihawk is a ridiculous dinner plate.

Heuer Night Diver, PVD with full lume dial. It was worn by the best Bond Dalton in Living Daylights.

IIRC the ones in the movie may have even been TAGs, they weren't featured prominently and it took years for people to figure out what they were from the few blurry shots of them. There was also a second (TAG) Heuer diver in the same movie, similar model but in regular stainless instead of black PVD, and it's probably a better one to look for since it's a more common model so it'll be cheaper and they've held up much better over time, the PVD coating on the Night Diver wasn't very durable in those days and you'll be hard pressed to find one that doesn't look like shit.

>>15428112

you mean this?

>>15427015
>>15428136
anyway, just search 'gshock case' in aliexpress and you will get a whole bunch of them

>>15428149
It's not quite that clear-cut, '87 release means filming in '86 or even '85 and a year or two of pre-production before that. It also took a while for TAG to switch production over to the new logo and there would've been plenty of Heuer-branded watches on store shelves for a few years after the buyout.

My bet is that there was a product placement deal with Heuer, which was then cancelled after the TAG buyout, but it was already too late to change the watches in the movie or find another product placement partner and that's why TLD, unlike every other Bond movie, seems to go out of its way to NOT show the watches very clearly.

Real rich people tend to be more low key and frugal than you'd expect, especially for everyday shit they're not passionate about, and Costco has good quality stuff at reasonable prices. I work in the high-end automotive business and you'd be shocked at how often I'll see a guy with a multimillion dollar classic car, a 100k+ Patek or AP or whatever on the wrist, and a $30 shirt or pair of pants from Costco that I recognize because I have the same thing in my closet. I also know a guy who's worth somewhere upwards of 500 mil who lives in a $10M+ and spent probably another mil getting it professionally decorated, wears Pateks, has $40,000 a year season tickets for the local baseball team, but drives a 15 year old Prius, eats at normal restaurants, and does most of his shopping at Costco.

Most leather straps are vegetable tanned leather. Just let it dry like 90% of the way naturally in a dry but not hot place with good air flow and then rub it down with leather oils and it should be mostly saved

>>15428403

How often should leather be oiled?

>>15428332
that's not the question I asked though.
the person I was responding to used the analogy of "rich people do cheap alternative to luxury thing" but mentioned costco. what is the luxury grocery store? does he just mean whole foods or is there an underground grocery store I haven't heard about?

There are some upscale grocery store chains, Bristol Farms is an example in the LA area. More typically, though, rich neighborhoods will have supermarkets that are part of the usual chains (around here that's Ralphs and Vons, Kroger and Safeway's local brands respectively) but the decor and selection will be better than ones in lower-end neighborhood and you'll find higher-end wines and liquors, more fancy organic produce, bigger delis and bakeries with artisan cheeses and stuff like that, and so on. I have some friends who lived in Bel Air for many years and they did their shopping at the same pretty normal Ralphs that UCLA students went to. There *are* some higher end stores but they're generally more specialized, cheese shops or specialty import places or whatever, and not general supermarkets.

If regular stuff from an upscale supermarket truly isn't good enough for a richfag there are some delivery services that will bring you the same kinds of really high-end meats and produce that are used by top-level restaurants but I don't think all that many people really use them.

How do I justify purchasing this?

divers will always be cool, big or not. It gives you the impression of someone who travels, someone who might swim with their watch on, someone who is adventurous, and after all james bond wore one, literally a role model man. It's the manliest non tactical watch that you can wear, It's stylish enough to say "hey I travel overseas" but it's not like a gshock where it gives the impression that you are a navy seal. A watch for undercover agents.

>>15428748
what the fuck are you talking about I see zoomers who have never been outside of fortnite wearing divers

>>15428750
I've seen a bunch of boomers wear them. It's a manly watch, those kids have good taste. I would expect zoomers to wear gshocks

>>15428755
>I would expect zoomers to wear gshocks

>>15428762
I've literally never seen a zoomer wear a rolex submariner or any diver. Divers are way more expensive. I fly alot and all the young people in their 20's either don't wear watches at all or they wear sport watches like casios or gshocks.

>>15427263
Pretty normal and sensible. You are right, people are occupied with being sad, nobody will remember what one wore.
Here in germany i also saw some funerals where elder people were relaxed and wore darker, everyday clothing.
Ony superficial asshole countries can care more about how THEY look on a funeral.
Also, kids wore dark sneakers with no branding to funerals too, they just didn't have black, formal clothes at that young age. Nobody bothered, people are related to eachother anyway in some way.

Are you retarded? Who said zoomers are wearing Rolex Subs? They do wear divers though, because divers are big and attention-grabbing with their steel bracelets and big indices but still look somewhat subdued. They're not wearing Rolexes but they're wearing various mallshitter quartz divers. I see this all the time. They're not wearing G-Shocks, in fact most zoomers think G-Shocks are too loud and they don't have the confidence for them, they would rather wear their stupid fucking day-glo shoes.

>>15428778
I find that hard to believe, In terminal and boarding of years of traveling on flights/vacations I've seen plenty of kids who looked 18-24 that have wore Casio or plastic sport watches on flight, rarely a diver style on flights. Zoomers aren't 30+ years old if that's the age bracket you're trying to tie them to. 30+ old people wear divers because they can afford them and have jobs, they aren't zoomers.

>>15428783
>>15428783
>They're not wearing Rolexes but they're wearing various mallshitter quartz divers.
probably, but I haven't seen many. Infact I don't recall seeing many young people wearing watches anyways. I'm 37 and I just don't see it. I said in my post above. You may have the age brackets mixed up, because zoomers aka like 25 and under I don't see wearing many divers.

>>15428795
I know what a zoomer is you stupid asshole.
Due to watches coming back in the mainstream as a result of instagram influencers and celebrities, zoomers are wearing watches again.

That's not what Rolex represents, it represents advertising power.

When you buy a Rolex, you are basically no different from a woman who wants a diamond ring because "diamonds are forever" and "a girl's best friend". You are an advertising zombie.

No self respecting man would own a Rolex. Only middle managers own them.

>>15429073
All watch brands advertise, so you could make this ridiculous argument about any watch.

If the Rolex haters here applied their level of mental gymnastics elsewhere they could cure cancer.

>>15429073
>No self respecting man would own a Rolex
That's very strange. The vast majority of men on the planet want a Rolex so either they have no self respect or you are talking bullshit. I know which one is more likely.

Probably the cheapest option is a Seiko G575 Sports 100-style watch. Unfortunately the original is now an expensive proposition because a) the vintage watch world is being ruined by the same fags who ruined retro gaming for everyone, and b) Bond collectors.

So for your consideration: the Seiko Wired AGAM 601, released in 2015 alongside MGSV: The Phantom Pain. A slightly larger redesign of the Sports 100 by Yoji Shinkawa. It was limited and currently sells for crazy prices on eBay, but shop around on Japanese marketplaces and you can grab them for about £500.

>>15429871
Alternatively, Seiko reused the same module in a 2018 watch loosely homaging another G757 variant. The AGAM 401/2/3/4 and 701 models are all the same case but in a variety of colours and strap styles.

>>15429881
Sports 100 as prominently featured in Octopussy.

>>15429871
>500 bucks
How is that "cheap"? The G575 was the first watch I fell in love with, albeit the more sensible 400 and 401 variations, because the 500 is hideous.

I never bought one, partly because I realised the date replaced the seconds display, and mostly because if it wasn't a bond watch it'd be 200 bucks, tops, and the casio royale fills the same niche almost as well.

>>15429903
Considering Bond’s other watches are generally in the £4000-£10,000 bracket, I’d say that’s as cheap as you’re going to get without buying a plastic Casio shitter and deluding yourself into thinking it totally looks the same.

>>15429337
