/fa/ - Fashion

Obligatory for Casio

Went watch shopping today. Bucherer didn't have any of the stuff I wanted in stock, like sold out across the board. Wempe had a couple of pieces but only in one of the colors I wanted to see. Wait time on the other color I wanted to look at was like 10 weeks. Also the lady who helped me had literally the polar opposite view of which size worked best on my wrist, I don't know if she was trying to make me feel more manly or what (I'm pretty scrawny).

I used to think people who bought expensive watches were entitled idiots for getting worked up about what was in stock. Now I know the feeling. Am I the bad guys now? Does that make me The Man? I don't have any employees or tenants yet so I feel like I can still be a good person.

Should I wear a watch to my Rolex AD? I want to seem personable and a watch collector and not a flipper.

>>17072658
Sure. Watch sellers are often (though not always) watch geeks themselves and if you have an interesting piece you can have a nice chat about watches.

This is one of the best ways to get good service, because once they find a fellow watch geek, they get very enthusiastic, making suggestions, letting you try on anything you like, stuff like that.

>>17072658
Depends on what you intend to wear.

>>17072667
I've only run into one sperg at a watch shop and it was the guy at the Seiko boutique and he definitely was the 4chan type, utterly autistic, if you're reading this, hi I'm sorry I didn't buy that watch but the lugs were just too big for me I really wasn't planning on ordering from Seiya, I know it sounded like that but no.

Anyway most of the time at all the other shops I've been to they seem too cool and aloof.

Threadly reminder that nobody on /wt/ owns a luxury watch.

It's all LARPers and trolls.

>>17072658
Nigga you’re not getting that Rolex unless you put serious cash into that relationship

Just wear a rep Rolex. Sky dweller or president day date. They will take you seriously. Just say you recently moved into town and looking to spend money.

I get "file no longer exists" when I click on that and when I open in new tab I get this

>>17072695
Post Heuers

>>17072695
I'm more of a Pontiac man myself but I'd buy a vintage Heuer Camaro if I had the money for one.

What else should I get over BB GMT?

>>17072696
Trust me bruh it works. I actually bought a rep Daytona and went into put my name for a GMT Pepsi. Those dumbasses at the AD couldn't even tell I had a fake Panda. If you're poor they will not give you the time of the day.

>>17072703
There's another brand that makes a GMT just like it. It's a little pricier but it's also a little smaller and thinner. I can't think of the name right now. Polax, Solex? Something like that. Argh, this is killing me.
I just know I'll wake up and 3 in the morning and remember it.

My next one will probably be a Monza or Camaro. Maybe a 90s Carrera reissue in gold. Will be a while before I get anything though

Are Oris shitters?

>>17072707
Lol. It’s not going to happen m8 unless you already left serious cash in that AD since they still giving you free cash in form of a watch that you can sell same moment you’re out the door.
Nice larp tho

>>17072721
Nice dial
Not a fan of the case tho
>>17072729
Well that’s a nice clock

/wt/ likes Tag Heuer all of a sudden?

>>17072757
No they like Heuer, fuck tag

>>17072757
Heuer=/=tag heuer
Pea brain

>>17072702
I prefer the 4th gen Trans Am over the Camaro for sure but the price was right on the car when I bought it from a friend. It sounded like death on a cold start but took a beating and liked it. Handled well and could run low 12s at the drag strip. Still hasn't blown up yet somehow

>>17072757
Pre-TAG buyout was a different company, just called Heuer.

>>17072767
What part of PA?

>>17072772
Kinda near Pittsburgh

>>17072767
My first car was a '72 GTO, ever since I've been a Pontiac guy. I still wouldn't mind owning a '69 Yenko or SS. It's pretty much the same platform as the Trans Ams, there were some minor differences in the engine on the old muscle cars but otherwise they're very similar.
Great thing about a 4th Gen is there's so many aftermarket parts for them that you can do anything you want with them and it all bolts straight up. Nice car, anon.

>>17072767
Ever heard of Regular Car Reviews?

>>17072801
I think those guys are Eastern PA.

>>17072801
Yeah. I don't watch furries though

>>17072806
Hmm, makes sense. I could never pinpoint where they were from, but I am also new to PA.
>>17072808
Wait what?

cop or not?

>>17072707
I honestly think this would work. I went to a Rolex boutique without a watch and the guy was nice enough but kind of dismissive. Didn’t offer to take down my contact info and gave me his card and told me to email with model numbers I was interested in. I was kind of annoyed by the whole thing so never followed up.

>>17072812
He is a faggot and a furry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqtriBKIdgY

>>17072728
Kinda, they’re in that grey area between shitter and decent. I had that exact watch but sold it since I never wore it. Definitely a nice looking one though.

Is Tudor a cope brand or an actually attainable luxury

>>17072841
Ask anyone in real life and it's affordable luxury
Ask mentally ill autists on the internet and they'll say cope brand
Ask me and I'll say it's the Rolex heritage line.

/wt/ bros:
what is the absolute CHEAPEST dive watch with a sapphire bezel? No, I am not modding shit.

>>17072843

>>17072816
not

>>17072843
I agree with this, just wish they'd stop ruining their classic designs or pumping out only Black Bays.

I am addicted to shitters
Like some men are to alcohol

>>17072816
Yes but put it on a black strap

>>17072821
I skimmed through it, and I dont see what you are talking about. just a boring and somewhat cringe college video. Reminds me of the garbage I produced in college for my degree.

>>17072847

>Is Tudor a cope brand or an actually attainable luxury
If someone wants a Rolex and they settle for a Tudor, that's cope.
If they want a Tudor and nothing else, that's fine.
Simple as.

Back in college my buddy had a 1971 Dodge Demon. It looked like a rust bucket but it could ducking fly. He eventually wrecked it and was lucky to survive. Fun while it lasted.
I fantasize about getting a Dodge Challenger and an El Primero someday. Getting but with a Toyota Corolla and a Seiko until that day.

>>17072688
>>17072679
retarded definition.
no matter what watch i give you, you could just state
>lmao no thats a child/manchilds watch
give me clear guidelines.

>>17072870
Oh
Dont care, his vids are still better than the snorefest about cars nobody here will ever own.

>>17072841
at first i thought its a cope brand.
but now that i own a Rolex myself, i STILL want a tudor.
so i think its not a cope brand if you want a tudor.
but its a cope brand if you want a rolex.
like this guy said: >>17072872

>>17072707
Better yet instead of wearing a rep, wear a Steinhart. The salesmen will be so impressed by the size of your balls for rocking that in a Rolex store

>>17072872
>wants a rolex
>don’t want to play games with ad
>don’t want to overpay for something on g(r)ay market
>still gets something with their dna
>it’s cope

>>17072885
>wants a rolex
>get something thats not a rolex
literally the definition of cope.
i love tudor but if i WANT a rolex and BUY a tudor, its cope.

i WANT a san martin so i BUY a san martian

>>17072873
I've been planning on finding a '68 Charger and doing a project like General Mayhem on it, but even the rusted out shells of original Chargers are expensive as fuck. And this shit economy doesn't make it any better

>>17072881
>but now that i own a Rolex myself, i STILL want a tudor.
meaning you didn't get the Rolex you want.

let me guess, you wanted a GMT but settled for some entry level piece like a Sub or an Explorer and now you "want" a Tudor GMT?

>>17072895
Worse, he's british

>>17072897
>now you "want" a Tudor GMT?
no
i like the BB58 (pic related), the bronze one, and the pelagos.

>>17072887

>not available anywhere other than some scalper nigger
>can only be bought for thrice the price
>there’s pretty small chance to get on the waitlist
>second best thing is still cope deapite building rep with AD and still keeping valuable item
Yeah pn the one hand ok it might be coping with the fact that rolexes are in this weird spot atm, but on the other hand i’m much more leaning towards this >>17072843

>>17072905
Ask your mom. Maybe she'll buy you another watch.

>>17072922
i might just do that

okay chuds I need you to tell me what the cheapest dive bullshit with a sapphire bezel insert is

>>17072891
It's sad that any even remotely interesting old car is now ridiculous overpriced. Makes any Roadkill style cheap car impossible. Bummer because I grew up reading Car Craft and Hot Rod when DF was editor.

>>17072900
Isn't he Australian?

>>17072936
>Bummer because I grew up reading Car Craft and Hot Rod when DF was editor
Yeah, same here. I remember when Finnegan and DF were heavy contributors to Hot Rod, well before anyone heard of Roadkill. And I'm old enough to have seen the days when you could still find a project muscle car for under 5 grand and could build it yourself on a budget. Now I kick myself for all the times I saw a GTX or GTO or Mustang and passed on them thinking I would get one someday.
Someday never comes.

>>17072923

Happens to every generation. Our parents could buy 60's and 70's muscle for cheap but lusted after 50's era hot rods. Rich douchebags letting the working class come up with something cool and then taking it from them and monetizing it.

>but lusted after 50's era hot rods
No they didn't. They were cheap then

>>17072841

My BB58 is the most comfortable steel watch I own.

I own a Milgauss and an Explorer 1.

I really like my BB58 in winter. The patina gold with the red indicator on the black dial goes really well with wintry/falls colors. Flannels, boots, khakis, jackets. It’s pretty much my daily driver in winter. Rolexes come out for summer.

Reading the thread, it becomes painfully obvious that the BEST chart is needed, as always, so...

>Cope, if you must.
>And you will.

>>17073043
Wait how come Sinn is quasi-luxury when their watches are cheaper than Tudor?

Large scale props to show off a mechanism are pretty neat. There was one anon years ago who managed to score himself a large scale version of la souris from the omega megasonic movements.

Should I stick with a NATO strap on my Duro or go with a steel band? I can't decide.

>>17073156
Nato 100%. Steel should be reserved for luxury or old people

I REALLY want an Andersen Geneve Erotique Automaton, /wt/
I need it more than my life.

>>17073164
Would a Seiko with a steel band be alright then? My other idea was to keep the Casio on the NATO strap and have a Casio with a steel band as my more dressy option.

>>17073175
depends on the watch and the bracelet type. skx with jubilee is perfect, but an skx with a milanese looks like ass to me. It's all preference and finding what works

it's not fair why does every watch I like cost $40,000

>>17073189
>Literally who brand
At least waste your money in something recognizable. A known independient even.

>>17073189
I mean, at least buy from an independent whose website is still online. LOL

>>17073189
Because you're only looking at $40,000 watches

>>17073187
I'm not at all a fane of milanese either, jubilee would be more preference. Why would that look bad on the Duro though?

>>17073200
Jubilee would be alright, oyster, engineer or H link would be fitting imo

>>17073170

>>17073187
milanese has almost never worked on a diver and shouldn't be tried, there's shark mesh for that

>>17073141
Is he pondering that orb?

>>17073254
Yes. The original plan was to sculpt a dragon's penis, but they couldn't agree in how big should be, so we ended up with an orb.

>>17073136
bit large innit? anyway i'd rather have the F91-W version

I absolutely do not understand the point of these watches. Clearly someone does because they're out there and they're expensive, but I just don't get it. Is it just the whole 'teehee I have something naughty hidden on my wrist' factor with the ero watches?

>>17073337
It would be better if the erotique part was on the front, for everyone to see?

What's your opinion about Tissot PRX?

got the Duro today

>>17073436
There's something about the Duro that just hits a little low rent and I don't know what it is. Just aesthetically. I like it, though.

>>17073463

>>17073493
I tried one on yesterday and wasn't overly impressed. Didn't wear as thick as the measurements would suggest though, so that was a nice surprise. Still won't be buying one though

Sup /wt/bros, what are you all wearing today? Been wearing my new 35mm ice blue PRX while tearing up some hedges that were blocking my pathway today. Whipped myself across the arm and it hurts like a cunt.

>>17073500
I wasn't overly impressed until I tried on a display model at an AD while looking for a BB58. After trying it on I was obsessed and have been dying for one ever since.

>>17073428
Case too thin, bezel too thick, sits oddly on the wrist. Otherwise fine.

>>17073512
I will agree that it's a lot nicer than the BB58. That was another watch that surprised me, I thought I'd love it based on the measurements and all the pictures I'd seen, but after trying two different versions (blue with NATO and gilt with bracelet) I can honestly say I'm completely over it. Haven't tried the Pro on a metal bracelet though, only the leather strap. My opinion may change when I do, but I can't see it being much different to the 58s

>>17073492
The watches are the same as in the reference image

>>17073438
I prefer the blue variant myself, it has more of the submariner look.

>>17073471
Not really. Pic is my Duro taken at night on an iPhone 13 and it didn't even take a second.

The lume is also indeed crap on these, the reviews aren't lying. It's visible for maybe 15 minutes if you're lucky.

>>17073533
Having owned a BB58 and BBGMT, the thing that shocked me the most was the poor finishing in respect to the price.

The case polishing is indifferent, it was clearly just mashed against a wheel for a couple seconds and between the lugs was not finished at all. All industrial-grade tool marks. For a watch that has a strap option, that's inexcusable. Even Omega polishes the case between the lugs.

>have not worn a watch ever because my taste is too high and I'm to poor

>>17073561
yes, but your duro is quartz, so you can hold it still. my sub is automatic so i have to be constantly moving my wrist to keep it wound.

>>17073490
>The popular products are the best

>>17073585
>it can't be still for a single second
Dude what? Automatics don't need to be moved that constantly.

>>17073585
>muh phone is too slow
>muh automatic watch cant sit still at all
imagine making up all these excuses for fucking camera shake

>>17073599
yes they do. that's how they work, retard. the movement of your arm spins a little thing in the movement that winds it. no movement, no winding. stick to quartz, dummy.

>>17073604
automatics can store energy you absolute retard, do some reading on. this is basic knowledge.

>>17073604
My father has an automatic and takes it off every night and it’s still working the next morning. They can keep going for up to 2 days without movement.

>>17073611
it's not a perpetual motion machine, the energy has to come from somewhere. that's the movement of your wrist. it says so right in the rolex manual. stop moving your wrist, and the watch stops. you're just parroting shit you read on the internet, i'm looking down at my wrist at the real thing right now, brainlet.

>>17073337
Erotica watches are sort of a historical holdover and oddity.
>To be utterly unsparingly honest, erotic watches both fascinate and repel me. They are certainly and undeniably part of the history of Swiss watchmaking and they reflect all sorts of things — Calvinism, I suppose, and the deep discomfort which human sexuality produces in religiously repressive cultures, and the desire no matter the circumstances, to maintain some sense of connection to the deep and powerful current of sensuality upon which the propagation of the human species depends. So all that is perfectly all right.

>The problem is that the Swiss are generally absolutely terrible at making anything sexy; they can be relied upon to botch it. The French and the Italians excel at it; the English are nearly as bad as the Swiss; the Germans seem to be unable to make anything sexy without also making it menacing; about the Japanese collective expressions of the erotic, the less said the better. But the Swiss, among the civilized nations of the world, take second place to no one in making the immersion of the human psyche into the realm of Dionysious, stupefyingly banal and dull.

>The result is that so-called erotic complications are generally about as erotic as a highway accident. They are generally extremely inartistic — the gleeful salaciousness of erotic art and writing at its best, is absent and in its place we generally have figures which look as if they are victims of some sort of paralytic rictus, pumping in and out of some orifice or other with about as much enthusiasm for the task at hand as a group of prisoners picking up trash along a motorway. Blancpain is a bit better than most in this respect, I will allow, but even there I would prefer to get simple fine watchmaking from the Swiss, and leave sexy to the people who are good at it.

>>17073611
>>17073614
You're both retards for responding to such low effort bait

>>17073619
meanwhile I have some shitty automatics myself and most keep going for a full day without being touched. do they just run on magic or what? retard.

The only real option is the longines Zulu time

>>17073635
That’s a leather strap and he didn’t even tuck it in. It can look good if done right but this isn’t the case.

>>17073630
He was also the same guy last thread who was asking about the procedure for setting his watch and a couple weeks ago was wondering if he can use an ultrasonic to clean his watch. He's clearly a retard.

>>17073640
It's a leather NATO hence the keeper bar on the bottom strap unless I'm mistaken.
>It can look good if done right
I have literally never seen a NATO strap look good.

The problem is most people will see a tudor and think it's rolex cope

>>17073659
This is just not true. Most people have no idea what a Tudor is and Most watch people simply like Tudors.

Maybe the majority of 4chan /fa/ watch thread posters think Tudor is a cope but that's like what 50-60 people at most?

>>17073659
The problem is most people see a Tudor and have no fucking clue what it is or who makes it. The only ones who think it's a cope are pretentious watch snobs and the majority of them couldn't afford a Rolex or any real luxury watch anyway.
So just buy what you like and enjoy it and stop caring so much what other people think.

>>17073659
>The problem is most people will see a tudor and think it's rolex cope
Only among people whose brains have been reduced to mush by the internet.

MOST people will see Tudor and file it away as "I do not know this brand." Most people don't even know Rolex cope exists, because most people don't give a fig about watches.

>>17073659
The fact that 3 people instantly got butthurt when you made this post proves you're right.

>>17073659
The problem is you.

>>17073678
Maybe they're right that Tudor is a cope but obviously not right that most people see it that way.

I think longines is pretty neat

>>17073640
>It can look good if done right
it being done right means that it's two separate pieces, therefore, NATO strap was done wrong from the start and it's not possible for it to look good, because it looks like shit

>>17073682
>Tudor is a cope
By that logic any watch that costs less than a Rolex is cope and a waste of time, which completely defeats the purpose of this general.
So for anyone who thinks a Tudor is a cope then why are you here? Go make a Rolex general circle jerk already.

>>17073659
The actual "problem," if you can even call it that is that most people do not know what a Tudor is and those who do will know that it is a Rolex cope.
>>17073690
>By that logic any watch that costs less than a Rolex is cope and a waste of time
Yeah, you're finally starting to learn about watches. Welcome to the hobby.

>>17073678
Calling any response "butthurt" is pretty pathetic, especially since they're right. No one cares about Tudor.

>>17073690
I am surprised that they don't go "oh, is Rolex too cheap for you?" at people with more expensive watches

>>17073694
If no one cares then why is everyone so upset? It's a cope brand, just admit it and get over it. This isn't even controversial. It was literally introduced to the world as a cope brand for people too poor for Rolex. It is what it is.

>>17073690
>By that logic any watch that costs less than a Rolex is cope and a waste of time
Correct
>which completely defeats the purpose of this general.
No, the point of the general is to remind people to buy Rolex and dunk on people who think they can be taken seriously without wearing a Rolex.

I'd go for twoface, it'll keep it interesting and you will have a reason to flip it over.

What watch will you advertise once everyone has a Rolex?

>>17073752
There will be no need. The project will be complete.

>>17073699
I prefer the monoface but only if you get the back engraved with something cool. JLC will do it for relatively cheap unless you want some absurd enamel painting. Engravings are not expensive (relatively)

>>17073428
35mm is great, 40mm is fucking hideous and has a horrendously spaced dial that feels disproportioned.

>>17073773
I graciously accept your defeat.

Some people must be extra susceptible to marketing to be this loyal to a company whose products they do not and will never own.

Rolex makes the best watches in the world. The market reflects this. If you disagree, you're a deluded contrarian and probably a disgusting poor person as well.

>>17073773

I'm a poorfag and can't afford Rolex, but I can't understand the appeal of a $5k watch that has such a simple design. What made you choose these two specifically when there's more interesting looking Rolex designs?

>>17073848
I couldn't afford the actually desirable models.

>>17073824

>>17073428
Weird proportions between bezel and case. They should kill the seconds hand.

Kek'd

>>17073848
Simple. I liked them and I could afford them, so I bought them. When I want to wear a more visually striking watch, I wear one of those.

The simplicity of the design is part of the appeal.

>>17073859
>>17073865
Come on now, don't be bitter.

>>17072841
Rolex moved from quality, rugged, cool, reliable and precise watch meant for action while being mild luxury to full retard high luxury, bank safe queen, bling bling status screamer for the higher middle class, nouveau riches, flippers and shady hustlers.
The situation of Rolex as a brand now is a bit puzzling.
Tudor now makes more sense and developed an identity that is more similar of that of Rolex in the past.
Honestly I believe don't even want to be associated with the current Rolex customer base.

>>17073871
Correction, When I want to wear a more visually striking watch, I don't wear one of those. I have others in my collection that are more colorful.

I blame myself for phoneposting.

>>17073879
>Tudor now makes more sense and developed an identity that is more similar of that of Rolex in the past.
Rolex's identity was NEVER about selling a cut-rate version of a better watch.

Tudor's identity can be summed up as
>Hey, you know (popular vintage rolex that is now priced at 6 figures)? Well here's a loving homage to it, built to a price point.

>>17073871
Fair enough, as long as you like and can afford them. I do hope your more visually striking watches are of similar quality, but if you have two Rolexes I would assume so.

>>17073879
It's funny that in an industry so obsessed with the image of what people do with their watches, Rolex has completely dropped the ball. Rugged-cool is the sweet spot where brands really grow, it's how Rolex got so big, but now they're just riding on pure inertia. Someone might want one 'because it's a Rolex' as a status symbol but I can't see particularly many people actually deciding they want one because they like them and the associated image these days.

>>17073887
So it wouldn't compete with a tri register costing 3x, ok. Yet its still sold out?

>>17073920
Seeing as people are buying Tudors because they cant afford a sub? Yes. Fucking retard.

>>17073917
>Rugged-cool is the sweet spot where brands really grow,
You're right, but I think Rolex is moving past that because they realize it's all a larp.
When Rolex started making the Submariner, for instance, it was a dive tool used by actual divers. Most dive watches were sold in dive shops, not jewelers.

Nowadays, though, if you're doing anything remotely physical, you're wearing a G-Shock, which makes all the cool ruggedness the equivalent of pre-ripped jeans. So Rolex is keeping their designs in place while they up the luxury aspects of the watch in keeping with its new status as a luxury piece for people who want to look like they could go scuba diving at any moment but also want a luxurious watch that always looks sparkly and new.

>>17073921
Very happy with mine

better question is:
>Why would YOU want a Rolex?
I want one for the collection and not as a status symbol. I'd literally be OK with a Cellini and honestly I'm strongly thinking about it. And the funniest thing is that from the current lineup I'm only interested in Oyster Perpetual....

>>17073943
Personally I can't stand the look of the keepers on either end of the watch with natos. It makes everything look too wide.

There are few things funnier than watching someone spam a thread with "can't afford a Rolex" and then when someone posts them, he has to quickly retreat to "Uh, it must be fake!"
You can practically hear him sobbing as he types.
>Someone else owns a thing that I want and cannot afford! How could such a thing happen to me?!

>>17073969
No, please, keep dancing for me. I love this.

This is the only watch I truly want. This is the watch I will buy once I can afford it and after that I will want for no more watches. Except for maybe an explorer II

Fuck

>>17073971
At this point, he's just counting down the posts until the next thread so he can put this shameful episode behind him.

>>17073973
Is that the one with the 321 movement?

>>17073824

>>17073936
My only qualm with the kamasu is it's almost 42mm, and as mentioned I only have a 6.5 in wrist. Thinking of getting it anyway just pull the trigger, would be my first actual watch

>>17073984
The lug to lug on it is only 46.8mm so it should fit comfortably with no overhang.

Lug to lug is as important a measurement as case width.

>>17073976
It's slightly older. The 'first omega in space' model with the 1861 movement. Iove it specifically because of the alpha hands.

>>17073988
I’d argue ltl is more important than width
>>17073984
Also consider tissot seastar. It’s quartz but comes in 36

>>17073988
Rogr, thoughts on their dark blue one? I'm thinking the one you posted or the bloo, reaaaallly like the blue, but the black and gold will go with everything

>>17073946
I don't see that.

>>17073993
I'm retarded, I thought you meant the newest co axial movement in the current speed masters. Forgive me, I'm not really an afficiando.

>>17073995
>but the black and gold will go with everything
Blue goes with practically everything.

To pick which to buy, flip a coin, heads it's black, tails it's blue. While it's in midair you'll catch yourself thinking "I hope it's X." That's the one you buy.

>>17073933
>better question is:
>Why would YOU want a Rolex?
Get rid of the brand name so it can be applied to any watch.

There are only two questions that need to be asked:
1. Can you afford it?
2. Is the enjoyment you get from it going to be equal or greater than the buying price is worth, in your personal estimation?

If the answer is yes to both, buy the watch.

>>17074013
>1. Can you afford it?
With the AD price? Yes
Grey market fags deserve the rope
>2. Is the enjoyment you get from it going to be equal or greater than the buying price is worth, in your personal estimation?
Probably. Honestly idk. I’m afraid I can fell out of love with it.
It’s the same thing I really don’t want to buy a Porsche. I mean i fucking want it, but I really don’t want to buy it just to be unhappy with it

Strap wise, can someone recommend a good navy blue suede strap, preferably in Europe. I had a look at the German companies from the guide, but theirs were too light in color: I want it to match my navy suede belt, it's almost black in color.
Alternatively, would navy croc or ostrich work?

>>17073912
>Rolex's identity was NEVER about selling a cut-rate version of a better watch
Agree but you are describing Tudor back then, Tudor now is homage-heavy toward old Rolexes (both a strong and a weak point) but it's not cut-rate in any aspect.

I really like this top gun watch but don't want to spend $9000 usd. someone recommend a similar looking watch under $200usd?

>>17074026
>Tudor now is homage-heavy toward old Rolexes
Gee, exactly like Steinhart. What a funny coincidence.

Buy the mtp1200 instead. It has a sapphire crystal.

Why don't people care about pocket watches or women's watches?

>>17074042

what is your problem exactly? like what foes the diagnosis says?

I like a lot this particular design. Do you know of a dressy automatic watch with similar looks (roman numerals, etc...) under $1000, ideally around $500?

Women don't care about watches and 95% of womens watches on the market are cheap tat with 35¢ quartz movements and fake diamonds on the dial. The rest are precious metal tat with $5 quartz movements and actual gemstones on the dial (that will be $10,000 please)

>>17074096
>pocket watches
you can't really wear a pocket watch and be taken srsly, and this since a long time
>women watches
women don't give a shit about horology or fine mechanics or other male forms of autism, and they have tons of jewelry to choose from and to wear.
also women really didn't need watches until recent times when they entered the workforce

>>17074099
Seiko SARX049

>>17074099
Well it's a bit more (around 1700$) but it has a porcelain dial. Other than that i don't know, i'm sure there are out there but i'm not aware of them.

>women's watches
I'm more talking about vintage women's watches by high end manufacturers like patek, piaget etc. Watches that are extremely difficult to produce and were significantly more expensive than even the fancy men's watches at retail.

It seems to me that they should be worth more than the melt value of their gold which is what they seem to usually trade for.

>pocket watches
You put a pocket watch in your pocket. You don't wear it. Is someone going to mock you if you pull out a pocket watch and check it? Probably not despite what insecure 4channers might think.

There are tons of extremely complex or visually unique pocket watches out there for extremely small sums of money. Like 18k minute repeaters for $3k. Solid platinum watches for $2k. Just insane imo.

>>17074115
>>17074120

The watch I suggested is an enamel dial watch about one step down from that one in the seiko line available for $700

They are mosty 32mm and below and even the most skinny wristed faggots cant pull them off. Women don't give a shit about old watches so who is going to buy them?
