I wouldn't buy one, but if someone went "woosh, you're a hublot owner now" that'd be ok.

I'm gonna buy this chinkshitter specmonster and there's nothing you can do to stop me

Lets say the usual quartz accuracy is good enough, which ones have the best design? Because all I know about is the casio oceanus, the casioak, and this bad boy.

I've already seen one of these, AT THE MALL.

It it worth picking up ? I can't tell how bulky it really is as so many people seem to have such twig arms.

too bad about that ugly rivet bracelet

That Just One More Watch guy reviewed it and I think he actually has an average 7 inch wrist rather than the womanly 6.2 inch wrist that seems average among watch enthusiasts.

what is an uncool watch to make me look like the dork i am?

>>15702045
he will look like a dork but the watch itself is cool

I am 5''7' (170cm) and have a small wrist. What watch should I wear? I have this garbo but it feels huge for my arm.

>>15702042
some shitty chink smartwatch

>>15701923

>>15702070
Measure your wrist. I think anything below 46mm lug to lug should be fine even for wristlets like you.

>>15702070
I think for small wristed men square/rectangular watches work well.

>>15702075

Yes, when I saw the image the first thing came to my mind was a gold and digi square watch,maybe seiko tank or even digi casios. Cushion shaped watches would be good too,small orient 3 star watches.
And also bauhaus watches (Stowa antea KS,Max bill,HOMOS,sternglas) are usually pretty l2l short.

>>15702072
Not yet but I did find out about it through his 11/11 Ali sale video. And there I was thinking it was gonna be full of paganis and cadisens. That I Like Watches guy has a good review on it

yes

>>15702070
Pic related would fit well but unless you give a budget and style we can't really be too specific.

>>15702210
Quick, delete this before the hairy arm fetish guy shows up.

>>15702070
there are small watches in every style, divers included.

what do you like?
they dont have to be expensive either
vintage watches also favour small wrists and many of those are dirt cheap on ebay if you wanna take a chance

You retards needs to stop using the oxymoron one watch collection.

>>15702288
You dont need to spend the average American salary after tax to get a non-shit watch.

>>15702300
And you don't need multiple shitters if you buy one good watch.

>>15702302
Who do you know with 60 or 70 seikos or affordable watches.

You can get a good watch for a couple of 100 or less. To describe an AP as "good" is a ferrari "decent"

>>15702306
It's not our fault you can't save up anon. You could get something that you can pass to your children, but instead you buy disposable shit.

If you aren't a piece of shit father your kid will treasure whatever watch you pass on to them
>b-b-but the watch will be a shitter and not $50k
What's the point? Is your kid going to sell the watch?

>>15702325
>Is your kid going to sell the watch?
Let's be honest here, the more time goes, the more obsolete watches become, the more likely it is that a kid inheriting watches from his father will just see some free money.

this general would be a lot better if every post with the word "shitter" was automatically deleted

>>15702331
Then your kid is a piece of shit

SHIT SHITTER SHIT SHIT SHITTER SHIT

>>15702334
>most kids (and no-longer-kids) born after the early 90s are pieces of shit
I see nothing wrong with that reasoning.

shit bro shit i am literally shitting my pants rn omgg shit shit shitter shit shit

>>15702308
Don't spend shit thinking on your children, teaching them is free and better than your expensive shitter.

you should probably set up investments and stuff for your kid not think about leaving them a fucking watch just because it's expensive, which they probably won't sell since it's their dad's watch.
seriously this "leave an awesome watch behind for your kids" thing is the most retarded thought in watchmaking, it falls apart if you think about it for even 1 second.

Does anyone have good recommendations for decent cheap fitted rubber straps( or whatever you would call the type to cut to fit with a clasp)

>>15702375
>seriously this "leave an awesome watch behind for your kids" thing is the most retarded thought in watchmaking, it falls apart if you think about it for even 1 second.

It only works if the watch has actual sentimental value, and that means the watch has been used and abused and the watch has some memories tied to it.Getting a really nice watch and only wearing it sometimes because the objective is not wearing it to pass it down without being destroyed or scratched is ridiculous. That's why even cheap watches can be passed down, their market value is not important, the key element is the relationship between the watch, the father and the sons/daughters.

bonetto cinturini
keep in mind bonetto cinturini uses natural rubber, which is more durable than commonly used silicone rubber and stays cleaner (no lint sticks to it) but in exchange is less supple

>>15702393
yeah but these retards always think you need to leave your kid a patek or something purely because it's expensive. get the fuck out of here. your kid isn't going to sell his dead dad's watch unless either the dad or the kid is a massive faggot, so the price of the watch is irrelevant. and if your dad wore his watch doing a lot of cool shit like hiking up mountains, it doesn't matter if he was wearing an AP or a seiko shitter.
if you're leaving your kid a watch just because it's expensive you might as well just leave them the fucking money and some stocks in a trust or something

>>15702375
It doesn't even make sense nowadays. I never got this "heirloom piece". Like no one in my family died before they were 90. Would you really care if you received a run down watch from your father when you are in your 70s? lmao

>>15702287
Do you know what that word means?

>>15702396
This would make a dork 100%

POOPA

Speedy Tuesday!

Why do I never see anyone talk about the new Tag Heuer with Heuer 02 Calibre? It's got an 80 hour power reserve and is one of the few watches with a modern pop culture history background. Also costs only $4000.

>>15702490
Because it still looks like a Tag Heuer

>>15702490

I second vintage watches for thin wrists. I ordered this 1971 Luch watch from Belarus last month.

>>15702525
Is that how they write "Luch" in Belarussian or is their logo just some squiggle?

What do u think about buying fake watches?

>>15702536
we call it homages

>>15702536
What's the point? Wearing a fake AP or Vacheron isn't believable at all if the rest of you doesn't look the part. If you want to buy any $5000 watch then just save up two pay checks lmao

>>15702510
eh, no, still ugly and too big for that wrist.

Also, either chose a round dial or a square one, but not both at the same time.

>>15702536
I used to hate the idea but I've become incredibly disillusioned with the Swiss watch industry

Same people who buy IWCs. I would get a monaco though, it's an icon.

>>15702490

>>15702548
Why are IWCs so expensive? Do aryan monks assemble each individual watch with their dick?

>>15702539
Why buying something for 5k if i can get it for 0,5k?

reminder that a rolex submariner costs over $10k for 3 hands and a date, and they don't even put a layer of antireflective coating on the sapphire

>>15702556
>they don't even put a layer of antireflective coating on the sapphire

What for? Rolex are not made to read the time, you have iphones for that.

>>15702548
I can't decide between the Monaco or the El Primero. I think the Primero looks nicer but it's $2000 more expensive

Can anyone recommend me a watch?
> Your budget
I'd guess around $250 - $300, can bumb it higher if I can get something nice.
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Dress watch
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Hand-wound preferred, open to other suggestions though.
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
No day/date, two-hands or small seconds.
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Non-issue, I'll be probably getting new leather strap or two for it anyway if I don't like what it comes with.
> Wrist size or desired watch size
Bit over 7".

They use the Cyrillic alphabet. So it's a very stylized "Лyч"

>>15701923
Go ahead and post pics when you get it fren

>>15702556
But Rolex do use an AR coating. However it is on the underside of the sapphire and not the top to prevent it wearing off or being damaged.

>>15702562
Depends on you. If you like cars and wana larp as Steve McQueen get the Monaco. If you feel like you're gonna be disappointed for not getting the el primo get that. I'd get the Monaco because it's more unique looking.

> buy rolex fake and msci world
> go on 4chan and laugh at poor boomer wearing a real rolex

>>15702591
I only know the Monaco from Breaking Bad, no idea who Steve McQueen is

>>15702559
Is it the same shitty black coating like on the Breitling from the previous thread...

>>15702562
Then save up for the El Primero. You'll regret not buying the watch you really wanted.

>>15702595

>>15702602
I think the Monaco looks unique though that's what I like about it. The Primero is probably better finished but it also costs $2000 more. I'm fine with spending $4000 because for that money you can't really get anything useful but $6000 uuh well I'd rather put that in the stock market

An idiom is a figurative, non-literal meaning attached to the phrases.

So "a one waych collection" is not literally a collection of a single item but a figurative way of articulating the idea of a single item fulfilling many roles.

Just like when something is up in the air. Its not literally up floating around its a figurative way of explaining somethingbis undecided

These are cool nowadays you out of touch retard

>>15702490
The only thing wrong with it is the crown is on thr wrong side.

>>15702734

>>15702695
it's a selita there's 2 options for movement. the sw200 one is like a hundred bucks more

>>15702759
Yeah i just saw that, that's great for the price

you missed one zero
but yes, same features can be found on cheaper watches, exept for:
>Minute hand jumps in whole minute intervals
(mondaine stop2go, also quartz, also overpriced)
>Half second ticks
(bulova precisionist tics 16 times a second, but invicta tier design, and you need to change batteries often)

>>15702825
to save me money, thank god they ruin all their great deals with absurd text blemishing the face.
Except that chink sharkie. That’s pretty badass.

>>15702595

why do people put expensive watches on fucking NATO straps?

>>15702882
Because they can.

>>15702882
Thats a perlon strap, not a NATO. Btw im gay dunno if that matters

>>15702882
Why do watch (((brands))) put Nazi crosses on their watches?

We'll never know, anon.

>>15702882
Some expensive watches look good on nato straps, it just depends on what type of watch it is.
That VC looks ridiculous like that, but it's the wrong type to be put on a nato.
It's probably a mix of bad style choices and wealthy people larping as being blue collar that makes them put something like that on a nato. There are monied people who wear things like Carhartt as a fashion statement too

>>15702674
The catch is it's made my 9 year olds in sweatshops. That's 2 years younger than the ones working on Omegas.

>>15702899
Are you actually this fucking dumb?

>>15702915
The iron cross is a nazi symbol now, it doesn't matter that it's not accurate or ignores the actual history of the symbol. If millennials that work in the press and post on twitter think it's a nazi thing then it is, that's how consensus reality works. The "truth" is meaningless.

>>15702882
such a boring looking watch, I'd rather weat a fucking casio MDV. At least that has a spinny bezel and a cool fish on the dial

>>15702070
Hey anon have you had that mole checked it looks a bit worrying.

>>15702967
unironically get a san martin tomorrow and be done with it, chink watches are too good now. Time for another swiss shoah

>>15702490
Because Tag Heuer is a toxic brand that people here dont want to be associated with.

There is a vido review up for the san martin vintage diver, I'm pretty annoyed about the bracelet.
Also someone in the comments pointed out that they made the dail sort of grey black to give it a vintage look but then the ceramic bezel is a lustrous jet black.
Overall i really want to get one but the bracelet sucks and im not holding my breath for them to make another bracelet that fits that model.
Also the aliexpress page says they are out out black dials and people that order for the 11/11 sale may get dials that say submariner instead of automatic.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=i_qXRvBI9To

Now that the Speedmaster is going towards 10k instead of towards 5k, what the fuck do I do? I still can't get over the fact that I didn't buy one when they were 2k, please advise. I just want a good 2-3k tool watch that will go up in price.

>>15702975
They are out of sterile dials* not black dials, all the dials are black

Don't buy off aliexpress, they don't officially sell of ali. Get them only from their website.

>>15702986
Well if I got a Speedy while it was time, I could've sold it for twice the price now, same goes for Sub, etc.

>>15702990

Does this look realistic to you /wt/? It's the list of top 10 most popular watches under $2.5k on Chrono24. I seriously doubt half of these are even popular at all, much less top 10.

>>15703133

>>15703139
Well yeah, to promote Chrono24, not the specific watches.

>>15703141
No TAG Heuers at all? No Cartier Tank? No Aqua Terra?

>>15703156
Also, not one single Casio?

>>15703156
Not the specific watches, but you don't know whether that means those brands didn't pay to get positive promotion as well.
Never assume that any reviewer isn't getting paid for positive reviews.

>>15703112
>maxi case fat lug sub
pleb opinion
looks and wears great on a nato strap
yes, you should wear a sub homage on a nato, unironically the way they were meant to be worn

>>15703133
The exact spot you picked at 9:16 is just the most popular watches, I can believe it.

>>15703231
Yes, most ot the watches are popular options for the average consoomer.

-Speedy is obvious
-Seiko black, yes, diver yes, white...that's unusual I think.
-Tissot is a normie and good brand
-Khaki field is nice and cheap
-Air king is nice and cheap, good option for entering the Rolex gang,same for oysterdate
-Seamaster is nice

I think at that range not many people look for Tags or Cartier tanks like the other anon said, aquaracers maybe, but not tanks, they are really niche watches for people looking at a specific aesthetics, square watches are not for everybody.

What watch do I buy to impress art hoes with loose throats and get them to suck my dick?

>>15703278
the most colorful faggoty bauhaus shit you can find with pastels or saturated colors because all that matters to those art whores is that they notice it

>>15703123
If the second language is spanish or french I'm going to laugh so hard at you.

>>15703341
Why? I personally would prefer one in spanish or french, makes for a more interesting watch. Different anon btw.

>>15701873
Nice Hoye Hoye

>>15703345
I'm sorry, maybe I'm projecting, but I had a bit of a trauma from my first seiko. STORY TIME: it was an SKX with the second language in spanish. One time I accidentally left the day on spanish and the guys started making fun of me thinking I was a latino--and my skin color is a little tan--so they had this mexican whiskey or something and were like "Ayo Anon you're mexican, what does it say here on the ingredients" and it pissed me off so much I stopped wearing it for a while, and when I did again, made sure it was in english. So there's this part after 12am when the watch changes dates and the language goes into the second language for about 2hours, and I was at a friend's that I was trying to nail, so it's about 1am and her dad comes in and looks at my watch and whispers "Oh damn Stacy I didn't know you were into latinos..." when he had never had a problem or said anything about that before. So I never wore the watch again. All other bilingual seikos I get are on japanese or arabic (since I don't look neither asian nor middle easter, people really don't assume anything, or on some cases don't even know what the language is). That's pretty much it.

are homages really redpilled?
saw the aussies video on that chronos like this >>15702143 and I gotta say I like it
what do you guys think? that money wouldn't even get me a shitty hammy i think

>So anyway babe, this guy takes a deep breath,goes into the store, and confidently walks to the clerk and tells that he is interested in looking some watches, he already knows what he wants but wants to look like a good client and not a flipper, so he ask for looking several models, he start talking about his passion for horology, brand heritage and craftsmanship of the timepieces, then he decides it's the time to try, he ask for a steel sports model and after looking at it for a while say that he is really interested in buying it, and asks for the price...and listen, this is the best part, the clerk informs him that the model he is viewing is not for sale that if he wants one he must put his name on a list.
Yes baby, the guy entered the store wanting a steel sports watch and ended purchasing a watch he didn't like because he was said that was a good way to create a bond between the seller and the buyer and would help in future transactions. Funniest shit I've ever heard.

>>15703376
You get a lot for your money with a chink homage. You just have to take the risk that you might get a lemon or get one with finishing issues, chang on aliexpress might not be very interested in honoring a warranty or replacing a defective product.but you are taking a similar risk buying a watch grey market or from some random ebay seller so it's a bit of a wash.

>>15703382
Are the Rolex waiting lists even real? I get the impression that they are just telling you to fuck off if they say they are putting you on a list.

>>15703388
Yup that'show it works. Also nice double dubs.

>>15703388
If you are rich, no list for you or directly to the top of the list, if you are not, then go to the list.

>>15703394
But the list isn't real. They might write you name down but you aren't actually going to ger a call in a year telling you to come buy a sub.

>>15703382
why do you think sub homages are so popular?
The real enthusiasts stopped caring about rolex years ago

>>15703368

>>15703368
Are you american, anon?

I hope yous all got your trench watches today!

Are you going to wear it on the bund strap?

thoughts on the Junghans Form C Chronoscope?

>>15703475
I'll give it a try, I might like it!

>>15703443
Yes, not born there though. Why does that matter?

>>15703487
It's pretty nice looking.

>>15703426
what's the best sub homage from a luxury brand tho? yeah yeah, falling for the swiss marketing meme, but whatever, i don't want some no-name aliexpress shitter on my wrist out in public

>>15702967
In a similar boat. Was considering the black Bay, but now I'm leaning towards the Seamaster 300m.

>>15703511
No luxury brands make a sub homage. No point in getting the $1000 homages from brands like squale anymore because the 300 chink shitters are better watches and 4th tier swiss brands that make rolex clones don't have any prestige anyway

>>15703511
Tudor black bay

>>15703394
>>15703388
Yeah you can just be a C list celebrity and you'll get one

>>15702805
Yeah but then no HAQ when it can't sync

>>15702821
Yeah idk everyone claims they have these super accurate quartz, I've never been that lucky. My casio a700 runs +10 seconds a month, my citizen chandler +5

I guess I could buy a dozen casios and time then all out but that's messy

>>15703455
I did, glad nobody else wanted grey/white, because I forgot to do it until I got home from work and still got February

If anyone was interested / wanted an excuse with the sale coming up, the Heimdallr skx homage is super solid.
Had mine for ~ 6 months, no qc issues (luckily, can be dodgy) and is super pretty, wears really nice as well. I know SM/SD/Proxima do others arguably better, but mine is spot on, love the classic look.

>>15702975
what are some other vintage looking divers? I really wanted to grab that retro diver in your pic but I just can't unsee those shitty end links

>>15703657
Vostok Amphibias.

Any interesting watches from the Aliexpress 11.11. sale I should look into?

>>15703671
Read the thread idiot

This watch haunts me

>>15703688
I want those retarded hands. I will get this watch soon.

>>15703502
If you weren't American, you'd figure out how retarded all of you look in your story. But really, Jesus..

what's a watch that says I wanna be formal, but I'm here to party, too

>>15703720
No one looks at someone's watch to judge that.

>>15703688
Yeah that handset is fantastic
It has a spacecore vibe

>>15703688
I remember when anon first posted it and i keep looking at it ever since. I cant find a single review on it.

Im waiting on someone with worse impulse control to grab one and report back please.

>>15703720
Two tone datejust. It screams I work hard but I also hoover up coke at lunch

>>15703278
unironically the swatch spooky ghost watch whatever it is called, or alternatively the mickey mouse watch with the hands

Does anyone have any good links to metal dw5600 cases, or are they all pretty much the same shit.

>>15703749
I think they are all pretty much the same, except i think they are making titanium ones along with the stainless steel ones.

>>15702207
Fuck yeah! Strap your watch around your cock and balls and post results.

any 36 - 38mm watches on ali below 70 bucks that are not dogshit

>>15703752
Cheers, just picked a random one with decent price was £33 for strap and bezel after coupons. My case has seen better days and I've been looking at them for a while

>>15702920
I know you are projecting like the poltard you are, but at least get your symbols right. It's your "heritage" after all. The VC cross is modeled after the Amalfi/Maltese cross and not the Teutonic/Prussian variants, which are the ones you refer to with your "muh history" remark. Now, go do a roman salute like a proud European boi.

If you had told me I would own the watch I wanted since I was sixteen a few years ago I wouldn't have believed you. But here we are. Dream big, nigger.

This is Roni Madhvani. He has an incredible collection and also this HMT shitter. Actually, I think he was even on here asking about one just before he bought this.

The aviator is too busy but looks alright I guess. Worth maybe $50 max. The 5kx is fine, but they're not as cool as the old ones. Max bill looks good but the date window is ugly. That pocket watch is the nicest thing you own (but can't be taken out in public for obvious reasons). Overall shit collection senpai

>>15703917
the aviator has a BF109 shaped piece of planking from the original warbird on its face

>>15703511
Probably Davosa. Swiss made, SW200

>>15703803
Its not about dreaming big or whatever your instagram inspirational quotation blog tells you.

Of someone was asking for car recommendations because they wanted something nicer than their daily driving skoda woild you recomend they go out and buy a rolls Royce? It can be nice to workbtowards something but thats a hell of a jump

Omega x-33 vs Breitling aerospace evo?,

>>15703927
I generally prefer breitling but I don't like either of those

>>15703925
Stop being so negative, anon. Go outside, enjoy a walk in the woods.

>>15703740
>Two tone datejust. screams I have had and will become rich grandpa

>>15703921
That's kinda neat then I suppose

>>15703927
Too many numbers

>>15703747
Based.

Honestly non-watch people are not going to recognize most decent watches at a distance, so pick something visually distinct to get attention.

If it's some stainless steel band diver thing it all looks the same

>>15703927
Get the breitling but get it in blue

FUCK SHOULD I GET THE CHRONOS SUB IN BLUE OR NOT

>>15703896
No, I didn't. He explicitly mentioned the iron cross, which is a Nazi symbol, no matter how many "muh history" arguments one makes. Nazis adopted it from their nation's recent military past as direct successors. In other words, twitter/zoomers etc correctly call out Nazi symbolism per his argument. The VC cross' only connection with Germany is a single Prussian medal that has nothing to do with the million other iron crosses in history.

Ofc a poltard sees iron crosses everywhere and is ready to defend their history that is not at all Nazi, I swear guys.

>>15704015
The nazi cross stuff is obvious low-quality bait. Stop falling for it

>>15704017
I am actually starting to like Squale. I've heard so much hate lobbied against them.

their association with TGV puts me off them as well.

The light blue 1521 looks beautiful though. It has a modern/classic look to it I don't think a lot of other divers have.

>>15704021
Ffs, that's exactly what I am pointing out. It is obvious bait that fails to do what it's supposed to.

>>15704004
If there was a no date variant it would be an easy decision. The cyclops is a cyclops and a shitty one at that, and the frame round the date window just looks weird.

>>15704032
I mean it got them (You)

>>15704050
If you remove the cyclops the frame is actually a good thing though. But you're right nodate would have been ideal. on the other hand it does everything else right, has good loom and isn't yet another nh35 chinkshitter

>>15703923
I've seen davosa a couple of times. When is a Sub homage no longer a sub homage ?

This one has different hands, dial indices, a HE value obviously inspired from seamaster. Bezel edge is different. I really like it, not sure how worth the ~€800 it is thought

Sub homagespiss me and it's off not that they are a homage. Some are so well made and good looking. if they just used some different hands and different bezels it would be a really great watch in it's own right. They are like 80% of the way to be a respectable brand.

> $29k
> $103k
GS are taking the piss with those prices.

>>15704052
Sure, can't argue with that. I doubt that the sole aim of the OP was acquiring (you) though.

The same thing that has happened to high end fashion in general over the past few years.
It used to be all about artisans using high quality materials and making creative pieces, now they make most of their revenue from logo printed shit-tier tshirts and focus mostly on marketing and brand identity, to the detriment of their quality.
Social media and chinese consoomers were a mistake.

>>15704125
That's why Casio,Seiko and Citizen/Orient are the most based brands.

>>15702490
It was literally in breaking bad

>>15703927
Omega by far

What does /wt/ think about putting rubber straps on non dive watches ?

Obviously not on dress watches but on general steel sports etc.

Agreed, if only it wasn't 42mm

>>15704189
Rubber straps are picking up traction. They are fantastic.

>>15704138

>>15703927
Between those too, Brietling. That's one of the few Brietling models I actually like though.

>>15704125

>high end components like sapphire and ceramics are cheap
>NH35 means that you don't have to deal with seagull shitters anymore when buying a cheap watch
>SW200 is starting to trickle down into chinkshit
>chinks are literally making better seikos than seiko. See Tuna and 6105 Homages.
>microbrands are absolutely based and are literally better watches than even mid-range swatch.
If you just care about brands then yes, it was better in the 70's when omega was 2000's seiko tier and Rolex were actual tools.
But if you're a spec whore then there's plenty to enjoy. Mechanicals dominate the market now to the point where it's actually difficult to find a nice quartz watch.

>>15704242
Seiko has many affordable models that do not rely on luxury marketing and a really big amount of nice quartz collection.

>>15704189
Rubber straps are fine.
Just make sure you get a decent quality one, the cheap ones don't take the use and abuse very well

>>15704305
Most cheap ones are silicon, which is less tough but more comfortable

---- late thread stall ----

>>15703927
You have to see them in real life, the display on the Breitling is very different in color and texture to the rest of the dial, it doesn't all meld into black like on the promo pics. And it looks like shit.

>>15704323
I wouldn't sacrifice durability for comfort, I'd be too worried that it would snap at the worst time and damage the watch

>>15704331
If a normal band snaps you risk losing the watch, you may as well get a nato or perlon type band then

that's quite a chain of events, anon.
quite a change from the normal /wt/ experience of nobody giving a shit about our watch ever.

>>15703487
one of the least obnoxious chronos I've seen. crisp.

>>15703569
it would look fine if the date window was oval and to the right a bit so it actually mirrored the 6 and 9 indices.
it makes the dial look super cheap-looking how it is.
