First for Casio

Cope, if you must.

Being poor is good actually.

>>17071312
Wew, how much was the platinum DD?

>>17071333
oh, lmao. I didn't realize you were old. I'm 24. I thought you were a crypto babby. Unbelieveably more depressing to be an old man and still be buying hype watches.

Bros. Local shop has a used, but mint never worn Moon Watch for sale. $5200. Is that a good price?

can /wt/ ID this watch?

>>17071363
it's about normal price I think

>>17071369

Should I pick it up? I don't think I'd ever wear it much. It was pretty chonky and heavy. I'd buy it not so much for using, but for looking at.

>>17071373
If you looked at it in person and were not that excited by it, I would recommend not buying it and instead just visiting jewelry stores and seeing what they have in the same price range. When you find a watch that really work for you, think about it for like a month (or at least a week) and then if you still like it, then buy it.

>>17071379
I already have a datejust. I'd really like a 39mm explorer, but they can't be found in that price range anymore.

It's the Moon Watch with the giant box with straps, all the straps, loop etc. It's a nice set. I wouldn't mind buying it and holding on to it if it's a good deal and not overpriced like an Explorer.

>>17071380
I would recommend trying a Omega railmaster as a placeholder.

>>17071334
It's actually a rep, I paid usd 350.

>>17071366
It's some Seiko, just for the dial arrengement.

Should I??
It's a piece unique for less than 5k.

>>17071426
A unique piece of shit.

>>17071426
That is off-putting to look at, you'd have to pay me money to wear that

>>17071449
>>17071453
B-but there exists ONLY ONE.

I’m getting my first watch, a family gift, soon. It’s an automatic but hadn’t been used for at least three decades. While it is in perfect condition otherwise, what sort of repair/service costs can I expect? I assume the oils would have dried out by now, or am I wrong?

>>17071309
What are the go to recommendations at the $5k price point these days. I don't know what anything costs anymore and haven't been following new releases

>>17071460
What is the watch?

>>17071466
Breitling chronomat

>>17071460
Yeah, get it serviced. Should hopefully be fine, older lubricants break down and get gummy and they pool in areas if the watch hasn't been running for a while

>>17071426
It looks like a turd. I wouldn't, and I say that as a scat fetishist

>>17071426
Serious question : are you genuinely mentally retarded?

>>17071318
Based neet. Casio is all you need. Anything else is just flamboyant pride expression.

>>17071479
can't afford a Rolex?

Did you ever return a watch at an AD? I just can’t get used to the size of mine and I feel retarded bringing it back. I don’t even know if they will accept it. Thoughts?

Friendly reminder that the Milgauss is the worst Rolex

>>17071479
>Anything else is just flamboyant pride expression.

Friendly reminder that anything over 38mm is designed to pander at niggers.

>>17071490
t. wristlet with a crippling inferiority complex.

>>17071480
Yes. But anon is still correct.

>>17071499
>he can't afford a Rolex

>>17071494
Unless you have Schwarzenegger-tier wrist (which you don't) you have no reasons to get anything over 38mm.
Pic related is the correct way to wear a watch.
And I guarantee you have smaller wrists than the guy on the pic, you pathetic beta fuck.

>>17071504
>his watch doesn't have solar
>his watch needs to be serviced
>his watch doesn't have memory protect
>no one of importance relies on his watch because it has an inferior movement
>his watch is seen as jewellery

The watch hobby is only for rich people.
>buys a replica that's indistinguishable from the real thing without a jewelers loupe or opening it up.
Noo!! You can't do that it's cringe and poorfag cope.

>>17071494
What a pathetic argument.
Watches have started becoming large in the early 2000s. Before that, 90% of men watches were between 34 and 38mm.
Did men start growing larger wrists during the 2000s? I don't think so (if anything it's the opposite, men are weak faggots now).

Does anyone know if bracelets with these little flaps have a specific name?

>>17071460
If it runs fine it doesn’t need service. I know people fall for the every five year service meme but it’s bullshit.

>>17071505
>And I guarantee you have smaller wrists than the guy on the pic, you pathetic beta fuck.
What a sad, sad existance you must have, believing (coping) that solely because you are a butthurt wristlet.

>>17071510
>his watch is a plasticky crap for kids

these are all the watches that interest me rn

>>17071524
Do you understand that nobody can tell your wrist size from a picture if there are nothing to be used as a scale (like I don't know... A FUCKING WATCH).
Also you look greasy and brown. What are you? Arab? Indian? Some kind of mutt? Gross.

>>17071529
>he has never handled brass knuckles
Oh, I see, you're a woman. Sorry, I thought you meant men's watches.
Yes, 38 mm and below is a good watch size for a pretty gal like you, milady.

>>17071524
why would you post that pic anon?
nobody want to see your disgusting fingernails

>>17071528
I'm fairly sure only one you can actually afford is the Longines, which is not a bad watch, btw. Buy it and enjoy it, anon.

>>17071535
Maybe the one you bought on Aliexpress were one size (chink size) but usually brass knuckles come in different sizes, you idiot.

>>17071538
i can afford none of them lol i just like them

>>17071539
>Imagine being this retarded about something you know literally nothing.

>>17071546
Anon...

>>17071541
lol Shitty luck, anon.
Well, maybe you can save enough for the Longines.

>>17071546
OH NO NO NO NO HAHAAHAHAHAHAA YOU IDIOT

>>17071549
>He doesn't know the difference between knuckles size and finger size
Kek'd

>>17071546
oops

>>17071363
depends on the reference
if its the current model with a saphire crystal its a very good deal, otherwise its pretty standard

>>17071553
Look, you got btfo'd, it's okay it happens to all of us.
Now post a wristshot of your 42mm shitter so we can all laugh at how oversized it looks on your medium sized pajeet wrist.

>>17071552
>>17071552
>what is average?

>>17071557
Where exactly on this pic >>17071524 (again you look gross, Jesus...) is there any indication of the size of your knuckle brass?
For all I know you could have bought the baby size model.
I know you brown guys aren't the smartest but please make an effort....

>>17071556
>post a wristshot of your 42mm
How about my 41mm?

>>17071555
It's this version. Non-sapphire.

>>17071563
Does it sit like pic related?
No. Then it's too big.

For anyone saying "hurrrr only wristlets wear <40mm watches"
Here's a pic of Schwarzenegger wearing a 40mm Rolex GMT on his gigantic wrist. You can tell it's the right size for him.
Chances you have the same wrist size as Arnold are close to zero. So yeah, stick to 36mm watches.

>>17071586
Now here's Stallone with a 44mm Panerai. It's ridiculously large even for him.
This is what you'll look like if you buy a 40mm watch.

>>17071590
>Stalone
*Schwarzenegger

>>17071573
>>17071586

>>17071590
That's an egiziano, which is fucking 60mm in diameter.

Looks small desu.

>Why is that butch wearing a lady's watch?

>>17071486
You mispelled "best"

Reminder

what do i wear for skater wear (tees (graphic/plain), work pants, chinos, sk8 sneakers). maybe more on par with cheapo streetwear. i was thinking a vintage digital, something on the sleek side?

unsure but picrel is general inspo

>>17071626
Rolex is the only correct answer for any style of dress. What's wrong, can't afford one?

>>17071634
are all /fa/ggots this retarded

>>17071638
He's right though.
You can wear a Datejust, an Explorer or even a Submariner with a business suit.
The only context I can think of where wearing a Rolex would be inappropriate is a white/black tie event.

>>17071626
Either some cheap digital or a swatch

>>17071426
Just buy an Omega or Sinn anon and don't buy shitty "art" watches. I'd only consider buying something like that if the money went to charity or some shit so I can get a tax write-off.

>>17071586
It does look classy on him, but I don't think a 42mm or 44mm would look out of place on him. Heck he could probably use a 50mm and it would still look good.
Clearly >>17071590 is not 44mm, if the other one is 40mm. You could have known that even without >>17071595 correcting you.

>>17071639
>You can wear a ... Submariner with a business suit.
Bond larpers never sleep lmfao

>>17071673
Now you understand why product placement in movies is so effective, these people probably see themselves as James Bond in their own heads while they're wearing their Submariners

>>17071464
From the top of my head.

Cartier, you can choose Tank or Santos. Tanks start at like $3.3k for SolarBeat and quartz versions and jump up to $4.5k for automatics and from then the sky is the limit.
Santos is great but sadly much more expensive, you can get them used starting at ~$3k.

Grand Seiko has some watches that you can get for $5k even Spring Drive ones. Sadly I don't have GS AD anywhere near me so I dunno about the prices. Used you can get them even below $5k.

Omega is simply based depending on how you approach your local AD you can get severely reduced prices, so you could score a Moonwatch or a regular Sneedy for about $5k, if not then the used market is your friend again.

Tudor is called a Rolex cope but I think some of their watches look really good. Sadly I have a gigantic gripe with Tudor and the fat fucking hour hand that ruins the BB56 for me so much so I will never buy a single watch from them. Easily attainable from AD starting at around $3.5k.

Big pro tip, if you want to buy used luxury, try the Japanese, they are completely fixated on providing good service, their watches often sell for less than in Europe and America because they are hell-bent on their visual ratings, so even if the watch has a tiny scratch on the bottom of the case unseen by anyone they immediately lower the price a ton.
Another way to own luxury shit is to buy grey market, not that I recommend it myself but I know people who did buy luxury from a grey market seller and were completely happy with what they got. Hope this helps somewhat anon.

>>17071480
Can't afford a Chesterton?

>>17071680
What if I told you... A. Lange & Söhne is better than Chesterton??

>>17071626
If you want Casio look into G-Shocks anon, here is a fun G-Shock resource it's a database of all the ones ever made. You can sort by module, color, etc, it's really good. shockbase.org

>>17071681
Then obviously you would be outing yourself as someone who has never even heard of, nevermind ever seen, and clearly doesn't own, a Chesterton.

So you clearly wouldn't do something that silly.

>>17071681
>A. Lange & Söhne
Why would you compare entry-level luxury to a Chesterton? That's a gigantic faux pas.

>>17071678
>Tudor
>Easily attainable from AD

I have learned first hand that this is not really the case. Lots of ADs still don't even have bb58 stock consistently available, let alone bb chrono, and absolutely nobody has bb pro. Sure if you want one if the 3rd party movement tudors you can get one pretty easily, in fact I think they'll even order them in for you, but all the desirable stuff is allocation only now and it is fucking painful.

>>17071646
Not him but Swatch looks so gay. It does fit his request and it's probably the highest quality plastic analog quartz watch that isn't a g-shock.

Loving this lil shitter desu

>>17071688
Probably depends on where you live. I'm in NH and you can get pretty much any model right out of the display case.
The BBPro is obviously the outlier because it's still brand new and hyped.

>>17071682
If you want to get into G-Shocks, though, don't you have to start as a heavyset Asian man into urban streetwear?

If you're white, you already have a G-Shock, it was issued to you with your "Yes, I'm a veteran and you're welcome for my service" starter pack.

>>17071678
All of these are Rolex cope, except maybe Cartier which is its own thing.
t. just sold an Omega I bought last year to buy a Rolex

>>17071690
Saw some videos talking about it, seems like a really nice line of simple field watches. Might go one myself at some point, it's a nice simple look.

>>17071698
It’s so cheap and the specs are pretty good for what it is. Also super comfortable, especially on one of those elastic straps. The lume is a cool novelty too. Go for it

>>17071690
That dial looks like old plastic that has been exposed to the sun for too long.

>>17071705
Yes. All part of the charm IMO

Yes/no?

42mm, 100 eurobucks. Might replace the band with something other than black.

Yes/no?

42mm, 100 eurobucks. Might replace the band with something other than black.

>>17071713
I'd get this for about the same price and put a different strap on it

>>17071718
Beautiful watch. There seem to be like 1000 different Eco Drives - which model is this?

>>17071718
>>17071720
ah i found it, BM8180-03E

>>17071720
Citizen Chandler BM8180-03E

>>17071725
>>17071724
Seems a hassle to get one in Germany.
The Wenger one (which admittedly looks a bit worse) is available at amazon

>>17071726
That sucks.
I bought the Citizen from Amazon for my dad and put a Barton canvas and leather strap on it and it looks really nice.
I'm sure the Wenger will work fine, it's a bit on the big side at 42 but if you aren't a wristlet it won't be an issue

>>17071713
>>17071718

I have something similar

>>17071729
I don't know my wrist circumference, but I am pretty sure i am a wristlet, actually

left is my old broken SNK807, 37mm, but I always felt it looked tiny on my wrist
right is my Honor Magicwatch I use for running, 46mm, obviously too large

42mm might actually still be too large.

>>17071318
based

>>17071736
ok i used my watch armband to measure the circumference, it's 6,4" - looks like i need 38mm even though I think it looks tiny
Time to look for a new watch

>>17071733
which model is this bruv, looks nice

>>17071697
Good for you anon I hope it was worth it for you. But I will say it's your opinion which I don't understand. Why you can't enjoy a watch without immediately somehow trying to quantify its value through another luxury/high-end watch?

>>17071744
It might be more than you want to spend but I think this is what you're looking for, and at 38mm should fit perfectly

>>17071752
Those field watches have pretty long lugs though, so they tend to wear a little bigger than their numbers suggest. A wristlet should beware, try before buy.

I'm not saying "Hurr Roelx" but for anon's size, a 36mm DJ or something like it would be perfect, proportionally speaking.

>>17071769
so does the 37mm actually look fitting here >>17071736 ? Is that the size I need? Surely I can get away with something a bit larger, right ? ;_;
37mm is unisex territory

>*When setting the time, first bring the hand back slightly earlier than the actual time and then move it forward to the actual time.
what the fuck does that mean?

5000 chads report

>>17071788

It means don't just aim for the actual time and leave it there, but turn it back a little and then a bit forwards to the actual time. It's pretty simple isn't it?

>>17071788
That means you're taking the slack out of the gear train. Obviously no mechanism can ever be cut to perfect tolerances and, even then, wear and tear sets in. You will notice that sometimes when you hack the movement with all the hands lined up, after restarting, the minute hand will start to move a split second after the second hand starts running due to that accumulated slack.

When you rock the movement like that, you ensure the slack is taken out and when you set the movement running again, the hands start immediately.

>>17071797
Answers like this are why I miss being on /g/. Good job, anon.

On /fa/, you have retards who only buy/wear watches to flex and have literally no idea how the movement is engineered.

>>17071797
good answer, thanks

>>17071802
I don't need you to tell me it's a good answer. You don't fucking know if it's a good answer or not. You don't know how your own fucking watch works.

>>17071810
well it made sense, the original instruction is worded poorly and lacks explanation and I'm quite obviously trying to learn how my first automatic watch works, you stuck up cunt.

>>17071834
Where did you get this instruction?

>>17071834
I'm not here to feel bad that you're a retard with more money than brains. Take the advice that was freely given and go fuck right off. Since you're admittedly ignorant, then you should shut your trap and learn.

>>17071426
Only if you are specifically trying to fuck an art hoe and then you need to do a cost-benefit analysis

>>17071798
That's true because people who actually give a shit what's inside a watch get talked down by "BUT IT AIN'T A ROLEX" anons when you talk about cool movements or anything related to what's inside a watch.

>>17071849
>when you talk about cool movements or anything related to what's inside a watch.
It's worse than that. Case design, finishing, bracelet construction. You can't talk about anything other than brand name, clout and resale value here.
That or dealing with simple questions from mouth-breathing retards.

Is this the only watch Hublot makes that isn't Invicta tier?

>>17071854
>no image
Yes. You have posted an image of the only tasteful Hublot.

>>17071854
Fuck, forgot pic

>>17071856
They are generally garish monstrosities, but the classic looks...good

>>17071851
Yes because if you talk about case finish for let's say a Grand Seiko someone is going to jump out to say it's not a Rolex so the case finish doesn't matter. Same with Omega, you can't like Omega because of space, you like it because you can't afford a Rolex. Or let's go further and think about something like Tudor, it's 100% a cope at almost 4000$ it's definitely you being too poor for a Rolex and you won't admit it. You can no longer like anything cheaper than a Rolex or god forbid say that there are better watches for the price of a Rolex.

I'm really tired of watch threads where you can't even speak about other watches about because of some incredible desire of anons to just quantify the value of one luxury watch through another as if fucking matters. That's why I gave up and will only wear Casio watches until I die.

Diver or field as a daily watch?

>>17071858
Looks good, maybe but for $40k you can do much, much better.

>>17071860

>>17071863
Funny you bring up mothers, since the only reason you've got your watch is because your mom guzzled gallons of semen in order to pay for yours.

>>17071688
>>17071692
I live in Cleveland, and went to an AD last week. They had BB58s in black and blue, with and without bracelet. They had the BB Pro with bracelet and I tried it on. Decided I like my BB GMT better. There's another AD on the west side that I visited once a few months ago and they had BB58s as well. Don't remember seeing a BB Chrono but I wasn't looking for one so I could be wrong.

I think most of you just live in big metro areas where demand outpaces supply or you don't regularly stop into your AD.

>>17071858
It looks OK...for a Hublot.

But for the price, there's better out there. Certainly better movements. They're still using 7750s in some of their watches for Christ's sake.
Hublot is the most shameless in terms of prestige pricing. They make zero effort in trying to line up quality with price.

>>17071859
I hate the look of modern rolexes. They're way too shiny. I wish they would go back to aluminum bezels.

>>17071868
>Both are good but I feel like diver would be better because you wouldn't have to worry about water
If you don't wear your watch swimming, you should never have to worry about water.
I know we like to joke about
>600m WR? I don't know if you should wear that when it's raining.
but it's important to remember that those are jokes made at the expense of WRfags and aren't actual facts.

>>17071875
>I wish they would go back to aluminum bezels.
Alu bezels, thinner lugs, case bevels, matte dials....
There's a lot they could do, but then they would have to admit that all the styling choices they made in the last two-decades have been wrong, and that's not going to happen.

what kind of maniac spends 40k on a hublot instead of a patek or an ALS?

>>17071878
The funny thing of course is that if you buy a Tudor, you get all these things as well as a movement made by tudor, which means it is made by Rolex but then people will yell "cope" at you on here. I guess it all depends on how much you care about the opinions of the loudest most annoying people on an image board in the ass end of the internet.

>>17071878
>but then they would have to admit that all the styling choices they made in the last two-decades have been wrong
They haven't been wrong. They have evolved their target demographic.
They don't make robust tool watches anymore. They make status-flexing baubles for middle-class strivers. People like that demand big and shiny watches so everyone can see their status-piece from across the room.

The ceramic bezel is the dead giveaway that they take this approach. It completely shatters if it gets knocked, which makes it a liability when diving, but it never fades or scratches, so your trinket always looks new and shiny.

>>17071872
I dunno, I'm pointing anon from last night. I want a gold "fuck you watch", but the only real variety of precious metal cases and bracelets are basically Rolex and Omega. God forbid on that you mention Rolex or Omega on this board, though
>Buy something more interesting...muh ROLEXROLEXROLEX...mun Swatch Group
This VC Overseas is nice, but I would really like a black dial

>>17071886
You also get ungainly slab sides and absurd thickness in everything but the BB58. It stands to reason, of course. If Tudor made the BBGMT even close to the thickness of the Rolex, it would start uncomfortable conversations about the difference in quality.

That's ultimately what bothers me most about Tudor. Everyone knows they can make a better watch, but they're not allowed to, as to not step on Rolex's toes.

>>17071884
Yeah I have my own watch tastes anon and no amount of ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX is going to change it. One day sure I will get the Milgauss but the rest of the lineup can go up and die.

>>17071885
Someone who doesn't want a dress watch. (Although, people who buy Hublots usually have collections and very well could have a PP or an ALS in it.) Plenty of people love the Hublot look, or they would have gone out of business a long time ago.

>>17071885
>>17071895
I like this, minus the Eggo waffle attached. If I could get a matching bracelet in gold, this would be an option. Instead, it has a waffle.

>>17071890
Yeah, unfortunately full bracelet precious metal watches aren't currently en vogue.
You can get gold sports watches like picrel or the Yacht-master 42 and have the AD toss in a rubber strap.

>>17071859

No, you’ll only wear Casio watches until you die because you’re a poorfag who can’t afford a Rolex.

>>17071897
I know exactly what you mean by full gold fuck you but it's harder than it seems to find a wide selection. Like the other anon said, the fashion has changed.

Unless of course, you just get a Rolex, like a Day-Date or a full-gold Submariner.

>>17071890
VC Overseas blue dial is my favorite watch of all time. I tried convincing my dad to get a steel one at retail a few years ago because it was undervalued compared to the Nautilus and Royal Oak and he wouldn’t do it. Now it’s a 5 year wait list and 50k on secondary

>>17071906

Don't get me wrong, I love the Streamliner. But this is a gold watch moment, fren. A nigger-tier gold watch moment. Like "I pulled myself out of the hood and now am a neurosurgeon" and not "my first single 'we wuz kangz' hit the Billboard top 10" nigger-tier

>>17071892
I have a distinct feeling that all the people who call the Tudors "too thick" have either not tried them on or have wrists under 7inches in diameter.

I visited an AD in person to look at the BB58 but they had the 41 and a Tudor GMT as well. The thickness is literally fine. I have no fucking idea why people make such a big deal about it, I literally put in on and was like "I thought this would feel a lot thicker".

If you've never handled one in person you really should shut up with this "they're way too thick" line. If you're thinking of buying a watch stop into your AD and try it on, it's literally the only way to go.

>>17071912
There are multiple on sale on Chrono24 right now new in box for $40k.

>>17071913
I don’t like them, but full gold Royal Oak Offshores are perfect for that category

>>17071897
Have you considered anything from the Breguet Marine collection? They have a wide selection of metals, complications, and colors.

>>17071900
Show me your Rolex anon.

>>17071907
That basically what I was posting, but you mention Rolex or Omega and /fa/ggots lose their minds.
>You should get this that isn't gold at all
>You should wait 600 years for an ALS that has no gold bracelet
Looking more like it's going to be a DD or a white gold/platinum Speedy 321.

>>17071917
Out of budget
>>17071919
I hate roman numerals with every fiber of my being. Yes, I did look last night.

>>17071915
WelI I, for one, owned a Tudor Black Bay GMT and sold it because it was too thick. (19cm wrist, for reference.)

The thickness is about 15mm, which is also what a Speedmaster Pro is, but it's made worse by the slab sides. The Omega hides its thickness with a narrow caseband and a domed caseback. The Tudor accentuates it with a giant wall of polished steel.

>>17071923
If you don’t have a steel Sub, I’d get one in yellow or white gold unless your heart is absolutely set on a DD. You’ll be able to get one for a good price with little to no waiting list games and in my opinion it’s an even bigger flex piece.

>>17071927
This. The yellow gold Submariner is actually a really fun piece. It doesn't take itself too seriously but it forces everyone to take you seriously.

>>17071923
>Looking more like it's going to be a DD
Step up.

If you've got the wrists to pull it off (it's a big watch) this thing is the GOAT. It's also the only Rolex that actually has an interesting movement.

>>17071925
Idk, I think you're just too self conscious about something no one else is likely to care about. Before I went to the AD I had written off the BB GMT as something I would wait until they made a smaller version of but when I tried it on it really worked on my wrist and I ended up buying that.

It probably depends upon what watches you liked to wear before. I had some divers that are thicker than a BB58 so it wasn't that much of a change for me.

>>17071938
>Idk, I think you're just too self conscious about something no one else is likely to care about.
No one else is going to care about my on-wrist comfort, I agree.

I simply found it uncomfortable.

>>17071927
Things I already have
>Steel Black Sub
>Black Bay Bronze
>Tank XL
>Seamaster Aqua Terra
I like the white gold Sub, but it's tough to have two of the same watch. If it's going to be a Rolex, the choices are
>Rose Gold GMT Root Beer
>White Gold DD
>White Gold Daytona (I know...good luck with that)
Honorable Mentions
>Canopus gold Speedy Pro
>Platinum Speedy 321

>>17071934
Am a fan of the Sky Dweller in Rose or White Gold, but I can't get over the anon who said on here one time that it looks like "a DateJusts' retarded cousin"

>>17071941
Yeah, like I said. It probably depends upon what watches you liked to wear before. I had some divers that are thicker than a BB58 so it wasn't that much of a change for me.

>>17071930
I will get robbed by a basketball American wearing that out in Indianapolis, fren. Hence the white gold.

>>17071942
>Rose Gold GMT Root Beer
lol good luck with that too.

I agree with >>17071934 though. For someone with a large wrist, that is a great piece. Might be outside or on the edge of your budget.

>>17071949
Lol, you'll get robbed for your tennis shoes. If you're getting robbed, they'll take a G-shock as quick as they'll take a Rolex.

>>17071945
>but I can't get over the anon who said on here one time
If there is a surer sign that you've spent too much time on the internet, I don't know what is.

>>17071953
It's because it's true, just like some guy on the internet said the speedy 12 o clock looks like a dick and balls and I can't get over that now.

>>17071950
Budget is 55k, maybe 60k. 44mm seems to be the maximum size that still looks good
>>17071951
Yeah, I get it...but a chunk of yellow gold on your wrist in certain parts of Indy are like a nigger Bat signal.

>>17071953

I will be close to Cleveland in a few months, I will go there to buy a BB pro and if they don't have one I am going to be absolutely furious with you anon

>>17071969
Lmao, in a few months they might be at your local AD. Just stop in and check from time to time. It's not like they're ungettable. Even secondary they're trading at or below retail.

>>17071890
Damn, i wanted to suggest a gold CHRONOMAT but of course they only come on rubber because gold bracelets are hard.
Just get a 36mm yellow gold day date. That way its a fuck you watch and you will still want to wear it in 20 years

Good morning, fellow watchchuds. What are we seething about today?

>>17071970
No, I live in australia, ADs here get absolutely fuck all stock and immediately offload whatever they do get to resellers. Most are still 3+ month waiting list for a BB58. Too many Chinese and Indians here either running or working at the ADs so if there's even $50 to be made reselling they'd rather do that. If you ask them about it they'll try to pretend these are some ultra rare, ultra desirable pieces. Some even ask you if you have any purchase history at the store lmao.

Any normal people left ITT so I can discuss actual watches or is it just the rich retard and cryptofags?

>>17071988
those are trolls, anon

Me. I am normal. I need food stamps.

>>17071983
I would want a 40mm because a 36mm looks like a woman's watch on me (my mom literally wore a men's 36mm DateJust). Canopus gold Omega is an option, and might be way easier to get.

>>17072006
Why don't you work, anon? If I told you I was homeless for 3+ solid years in my early 20's and literally changed my life to the point where I am going to make close to.3 million dollars this year, would you believe me? Most people don't, that's why I keep that shit to myself. It's also why I want to buy something dumb. I've worked hard as fuck and made tremendous sacrifices to make this happen, and I want something to commemorate the occasion.

>>17072013
Nice, how do I do it? Exact instructions please.

>>17071791
>>17071879
Stay away from me non-RCVD plebs

>>17072024
Step 1. Pick something you're good at
Step 2. Monetize it
Step 3. Work very hard
Step 4. Get lucky (or have your competitors be unlucky)

Simple really.

>>17072027
This. If you ain't RVCD, you're too ignorant to be allowed to live.

>>17072027
>>17072035
Couldn't afford a Rolex huh?

>>17072024
Basically this>>17072033
I found something I both enjoy and am good at. Then, I worked my balls off to cultivate that skill set. When it comes to luck, niggers that say there is "no luck" in success are disingenuous at best. There is definitely luck when it comes to opportunity. However, what no one wants to admit is that it doesn't matter how good your luck is if you are unwilling to do what is necessary to take advantage of said opportunity. I chose to forego a comfy 150-200k a year working 5-7 months a year on 1-2 million in managed business. Instead, I chose to say fuck it and risk my financial well-being chasing monster jobs. Now instead of 1-2 million in easy ones, I've got 15 million in the monsters waiting. Out of that 15 million, I will get around 22%. If a few of these weren't going to close soon, I would be dead broke in 60 days.

>>17072047
>Out of that 15 million, I will get around 22%. If a few of these weren't going to close soon, I would be dead broke in 60 days.

>Top 1% income
>Still lives hand to mouth
This is basically the definition of nigger-rich.

>>17071986
Well, go ahead and stop in, then. There are two ADs in the Cleveland area, Sheiban's in Strongsville and Alson's in Beachwood. Alson's is where I saw the BB Pro.

ok bros this is my top 3 watches

>Cartier Tank on a suede band (probably vintage with a red suede band, maybe red dial? not sure)
>Omega Seamaster vintage with a milanese band, all silver looking
>Casio world timer, unsure of band yet

before any of you ask i get a ton of pussy while wearing a vostok, these are just what im going to buy

>>17072010
>Canopus gold Omega is an option, and might be way easier to get.
If you're looking for a fuck you gold watch, it's best to pick one that doesn't have a more common steel equivalent.

White gold Day Dates are different, because there are no steel Day-Dates (excluding a tiny handful of one-offs and prototypes they made)

>>17072060
Get a Tank in yellow gold with a JLC or Piaget movement. Trust me.

>>17072047
Ok so no real answer, thanks retarded LARPer.

>>17072063
If you're going to do that, just get a Piaget Altiplano.

>>17072058
Thanks anon, if st all possible I would like to avoid visiting cleveland but if I can't find it anywhere else I might just make a day trip

>>17072068
Oh, and on the Tudor website it says Kleinheinz jewelers is also an AD but it isn't true.

Good morning.

>>17072065
Stop seething. It's undignified.

Any answer with specifics will be useless to you because everyone's situation is different and they're all time-dependent. If there was a formula to getting rich from starting at zero, there'd be no such thing as poverty.

Since you're a faggot, perhaps you should cultivate your cocksucking skills? Go get some kneepads and bunch of bananas and practice being the absolute best cocksucker you can be. Once you get to the point where your no longer simply an amateur cocksucker, you can stop doing it for free and charge for your services. Invest in some kneepads and a bib. Once you have a cadre or cocks you suck on the regular, maybe you can parlay your cocksucking abilities to teach other faggots how to suck cocks as well as you.

>>17072079
So just dumb luck and being born into the right circumstances, gotcha.
>>17072090
Is that how you did it specifically or?

>>17072079
I think the number one barrier is not being a retarded cocksucker. If you have a room temperature IQ and you're primary life skills are seething on a Malaysian mango farming board and sucking every cock in sight... you've got an uphill battle for sure.

>>17072076
Been a while since i've seen one of these posted here.

>>17072098
Holy shit you're so fucking asspained. If you put literally 10% of the effort you spend crying like a bitch into making money, you'd be a fucking billionaire.

You want to know how to make money, specifically? Here it is: fleecing poor dumbfucks like you. Poor people are literally allergic to money, they can't rid of it fast enough. All you have to do is find a poor person, tell them to give you their money and they will. Promise them they'll get rich, or their dreams will come true, or they'll go to Heaven or whatever. Sell them magic beans.
If you haven't figured this out yet, then you're the retard making everyone else rich.

Enjoy your magic beans you impoverished faggot.

I cannot think of any other field where someone would insist you can't have interest in it unless you're doing it in the most expensive and also trend-following way possible.

>>17072111
lmao imagine being this stupid

(i'm not the guy you were talking to before)

>>17072119
Well you see with other hobbies, the person actually has to do something. With photography for instance you have to learn composition, image processing, etc. you have to go outside and actually take photos.

With watches, literally the only thing you do is buy the watch so of course the only way to prove you are "more serious" than other people is spending more money than them.

>>17068657

>>17072119
Wine maybe?

>>17071312
Man... look at all those reps, you could've bought a real watch with all that money,

>>17072119
Classic cars
Whiskey appreciation
Fine art

>>17072098
Bro, I think you're going to strike it rich sooner than you think. You have all the makings of a naturally gifted cocksucker. I would wager you don't even need kneepads. Your knees have just evolved to be hard and boney like Doomsday from Superman. I bet the loads simply slide off you now like someone sprayed you down with Pam. You're ready, anon. Now go show the world what a cocksucking faggot should be.

>>17072124
>With watches, literally the only thing you do is buy the watch so of course the only way to prove you are "more serious" than other people is spending more money than them.
It's true, but that's also what makes it so disheartening to the poors. No matter how much they learn about movement design or talk about Daniel Roth's career at Breguet or whatever, they will always be talking about museum pieces they can never have.
Meanwhile, someone else can just walk into the "museum" and take the art right off the walls.

Of course that frustrates the shit out of them.

>>17072139
Audiophiles, PC building, any kind of musical instruments, lots of sports, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, shit even people who are really into hiking can easily spend thousands on their backpacks and boots and ultralight equipment. Every hobby costs money and if you are exclusively playing around with the cheapest possible option, people aren't really gonna take you as seriously.

>>17072124
How about choosing the "best" watch for a specific purpose/budget? Discerning the technical details.

>>17072159
The point was that while just about every hobby costs money to engage in, watches is exclusively about spending money. That's it. Once you've spent the money, you're done until you spend more money.

>>17072163
That's just dreaming. It's like learning the specs of a car that you will never own, never drive, and probably never even see in the flesh.

>>17072108
I thought they used to be a hot meme, but I can't remember the last time someone other than me posted one either. I have a 009 as well.

>>17072164
>This is your mind on Arab money

>>17072180

What does this even mean?

Sorry, your coping is kind of irrelevant to this thread. If you cannot afford to buy watches, you simply have no place in the hobby. Full stop.

If you can afford watches, but only Seikos and Casios, then you have to hang out with them. You have zero to offer to the people who buy Omegas.
In turn, those people have zero to offer to those who buy Rolex, then Patek, then independents, and so forth.
Someone from a higher class can always go down and slum with the G-Shock fags, but the other G-Shock fags should never presume to lecture him with their irrelevant thoughts on Rolex.

>>17072191
I know this is bait, but it's also 100% accurate.

>>17072191
>>17072194

>>17072191
This guy gets it, if you don't own a rolex you have absolutely no business trying to talk about watches. This whole thread is just sad, kids talking about their plastic toys, then other kids talking about their cope watches and wasting money. If you can't buy a Rolex you are too poor to like watches, sorry poorfags.

So it's impossible while being a decent person?

>>17072191
Fake and gay anon. Doesn't matter what kind of watches you buy and enjoy. People went crazy when the GA-2100 g-shock launched, people from both sides of the watch collecting spectrum went absolutely mad for it. Didn't matter if you collected Casio watches or if you had millions of dollars in watches. Everyone wanted that shit. Imagine thinking that watch collecting is some sort of retarded high school that has the popular kids and the rich kids etc. Your outlook on watch collecting is fucked and you should go back to whatever rock you crawled under form.

How come Patek Philippe don't make divers?

>>17072273
That's not what they make. Patek makes fine timepieces.

Dive watches are tools, meant to be beaten up and discarded once they're used-up. Consider, for most of the Submariner's early years (like when it was actually used as a dive timer) it wasn't even chronometer certified because it didn't matter .

I don't know. I don't think so. Who knows what the future holds, but they've had their sterling reputation for so long it feels like it's self-sustaining.
They were also very careful to resist temptation of easy sales by always keeping the Nautilus and Aquanaut as oddballs in the catalog, not mainstays.

In the late 90s AP needed money and they had a surefire hit in the RO and ROO, so they leaned into those heavily. It was a decision borne of desperation. It kept them alive, but they're now the Royal Oak company and no one wants anything else they make.

Plenty of people want Calatravas, Grand Complications, Golden Ellipses, and so forth in addition to Nautiluses (Nautili?) and Aquanauts.
No one wants anything from AP except Royal Oaks.

Eh, if only the case was fully silver without that black frame and all that text

How does one resist the urge to buy shitters? I'm trying to save up for an Omega Sneedmaster Moonwatch but keep getting tempted to buy shitters like Tissot PRX, Steinhart GMTs, random ass microbrands, chink shit etc.

don't even mention italians, they're usesless

>>17072362
Well that sucks then. Seiko is pretty much out of the question then, most of their watches don't have it and are also too big at the same time for your requirements. I struggle to think of any watch that small that would have lume, i'm sure they exist but i don't know of them.

My main issue with the snowflake hand on a chrono is that occasionally it'll obscure the minutes register of the chrono, and you'll have to guess how many minutes have passed. I'd suggest it's a fundamental flaw for a chronograph.

No.

>>17072382
Yeah I know. This aliexpress shitter is the only thing I've found that qualifies. But there are no online reviews and I'm not sure I dig the look of tritium tubes

What's a good three way collection. In my mind I would like to have a Moonwatch, GMT Master II Pepsi, and room for one more. Maybe a GS Snowflake or something dressy.

Don't buy that, bruh

I totally don’t give a damn. Honestly leaning towards non-inhouse since those are (sorta) easier to service.
Eta/sellita/valljoux are alright. I mean if there’s something inhouse in the price it’s also ok

>>17072452

Id be tempted to buy a cheaper clone if i were you though.

Because it’s too obvious. I don’t mean it’s bad. And i’d love to have a moonwatch, but it’s not that affordable anymore.
