/fa/ - Fashion

first for ROLEX

We're all in the other thread, also known as THE thread.

are watches just a flex? is that what drives a MF to spend like 10 grand on a watch?

>>17098533
Yes.
People will talk about passion, craftsmanship, investment... But really the whole luxury watch market relies solely on flexing (and there's nothing wrong with that).

What do you mean? I want a similar looking watch that'll fit me better.
>>17098598
This is a woman's watch but nice, will consider

Cope, if you must. And you will.

I spent One Thousand and Five Hundred Australian Dollars on the Seiko.

How did I do?

>>17098632
Better than that fake Rolex.

>>17098642
It's not fake though

>>17098643
well you make a damn fine job making it look like shit then

>>17098459

Never owned a watch, I was thinking about this casio one, seems pretty military-ish, which si what I'm going for atm.

>>17098648
look at the newer versions of this, plus don't choose the one that is literally black all around, at least choose one with visible indices

>>17098647
Lets see your rolex then, prick

whats the name of this one

>>17098650

Any tips? found some from the classic lineup on their site but for the life of me can't figure out which is a newer version lmao.

Rolex is literally the only luxury watch brand people know. If you're wearing one they'll go "WOOOOAAAAAH you must be a millionnaire".
What's even the point of brands like Patek or Vacheron?

I agree with the other guy, the new version GA B2100 is solar powered. Worth looking at

I do like the full blackout version but yeah it's hard to read

>>17098648
Get the camo one.

>>17098713
I am trading in the PO towards a blue Reverso tribute duo and picking up a sub date so there will be a little color but I like black

any fellow casiofags here? i'm considering getting the calculator one but idk if it'll make me look like a gay hipster

>>17098746
i'm kind of holding off since it doesn't come in silver like my other one though.

>>17098655
a real one or like yours?

>>17098706
>>17098742
Not bad, and it'll be better with the inclusion of the Reverso. Congrats.

>>17098632
no offense but no way you looked at that watch and thought it looked like it was worth $1500

>>17098732
>>17098739

Ty both.

Shit I posted on the wrong thread.

Thoughts? Is it better than the GWG 2000? Is the 2000 just a fancy watch instead of tough one?
>>17098761

smashed my fucking watch against the curb yesterday when tying my shoes
fucking hell

This thread sucks.
Where's the shitposting?

>>17098778

>>17098778

>>17098786
I can't even afford a Longines

>>17098806
That's ok. vostok is the solution to your woes.

>>17098648
I have one, it's real nice. About as subtle as a G-Shock gets, all that effortless Quartz set-once-wear-forever fun and you can wear it pretty much anywhere except somewhere formal. And for a pretty good price. There's a reason it's been such a big winner for Casio.

>>17098774
What was it? Is it damaged or destroyed?

>>17098849
submariner date...
the case itself is fine, but i got some ugly scratches in the braelet.
unfortunately the part of the bracelet that doesnt have changable links

>>17098746
I bought the calculator and I almost never wear it because it's so tall lug to lug it looks weird on my wrist (6.75")

>>17098876
It will add character to the watch.
Just say you damaged it in a diving accident.

>>17098894
kek

>>17098894
>>17098876
Even better, say you damaged it fighting a shark.

>>17098746
this piece of shit has never in its existence looked good on anyone, casiofags are delusional

The watch would be for my dad, a 50+y/o who still now-and-then has to work with his hands.
Think something along the lines of Victorinox INOX. Pic rel is what died on him.

>>17098935
Sounds like a Seiko 5 Sports would tick just about every box except the tritium.

>>17098935
wanted to recommend marathon, but those fuckers are insane for asking that price

Pls respond>>17098572

>>17098945
>>17098957
Thanks, I was thinking maybe a Citizen Ecodrive. Light, robust, solar quartz, 200 yuros.

got $4.7k for a new baby, what do u boys recommend?

>>17098960
Depends what kind of watch you want.
For a sports watch, you can get a Tudor or an Omega.

>>17098961
funny you say this, i have these 2 i'm currently looking at

>>17098959
Might also be worth looking at some of Casio's offerings in that price range. If you wanted to be real fancy you'd be able to import an Oceanus T200 right at the top of the price range, but they have other very nice lines a little below that too.

>>17098962
In that price point, Tudor and Omega are pretty much the best options you have.
I'd chose the Tudor since I don't really like Omega.

>>17098960
GMT SBGN021

>>17098995
ew

>>17098962
ended up going with the omega

Not a flex on a $10k range, just a man of taste.

>>17098995
Nice looking watch with an offensive date window in a $4500 quartz. Honestly I don't know whether I love or hate GS. They're so inconsistent with everything from design to pricing.

>>17098962
Have that speedy racing coming in the mail tomorrow anon, got the all black dial though.

Is this a good watch for a wristlet>>17098598

>>17099056
I feel that for every great watch they put out, they release 5 shitty watches. It's even weirder because they don't make the same mistake on each watch, it's always something different. Here's a 4:30 date window with no border. Here's a watch that's 44mm. Here's a watch that's 15mm thick. Here's a watch with a dial that looks like literal shit. Here's a chronograph with pushers so big they will impale your wrist. Here's a 40mm+ dress watch in the "elegance" collection. And so on...

But there are still lots that I want.

>>17098632
clean your watch with warm water before taking a pic my dude

>>17099077
Omega gets a lot of grief for milking people with their LEs, but GS has 38 different LE models for sale on their website right now. 38. That is fucking insane.

>>17098926
kek

>>17098926

>>17099055
Who is this faggot?

>>17098995
>That crude date window

>>17099081
If I remember correctly, I think Omega has stopped doing limited editions and every model they make is regular production until it's discontinued.

Like the Silver Snoopy Speedmaster. Sure, they can never manufacture enough to satisfy demand but they make more every year. It's not like they make 1000 and then stop.

>>17098564
the flex piece plays mozart

>>17099077
>gs finally makes a spring drive model that looks great
>gives it 3bar water resistance rating
so close

>>17098459
I'm looking at highly discounted (300-350 USD) brand new but older model (2018-2019) Tissot ballade. Can one of you watch fags tell me if it will be a problem to change the straps and service the mechanism with non-tissot? Because I know Tissot are anal about everything being in house and I think only their straps fit on the older models plus only they can service and usually just swap out the mechanism

>>17098630
I know you're a retard because вocтoк is just Cyrillic for Vostok. Also Ralph Lauren is not luxury watches

I finally bought one of these memes

>>17099131
Why is 30m wr a problem? Did you plan on swimming with a dress watch with a gator skin strap? 30m is still more than adequate for the sort of rain and splashes that you encounter in daily life.

>>17098959
Quality wise this is amazing, had mine 8+ years zero problems ridiculous accuracy

>>17099091
So much worse than the omega and Tudor posted

>>17099143
Arguing about water resistance figures is like arguing about 65 vs 68 hours of power reserve, or 15k vs 20k gauss of antimagnetism:

Just something to spec-sheet wank over because
>I like this watch.
>I have a different opinion of this watch from you.
>Understood.
does not make for exciting content.

Unfortunately a lot of anons take the spec-sheet wanking seriously and think something like 30m means the watch that is intended to be a daily-dressy piece is shit because it cannot also double a deep diver.

>>17099131
Nice bait.

>>17099143
hey it's not my fault all their sports models look fucking horrible.

>>17099089
Matt Hranek, watch/cigar/car connoisseur, he has one hell of a watch collection.

>>17099158
>All I want is a 35mm watch that's less than 8mm thick and has 500m of water resistance with 3 days of power reserve and is accurate to +/- 1 second per month.
>Is that too much to ask?

>Oh, and please have it cost less than 500USD.

>>17099179

>>17099199
Which one's this?

>>17099209
sgbh273? Something 273
Would like to add a white dial to the herd maybe later this year

>>17099140
Someone's coping.

>>17099195
asking for more than 3bar wr on a modern watch is perfectly reasonable, stan. we've figured wr out. it's not rocket science.

>>17098995
In person it look like shit.
>>17098960

Not the same anon, but rather that "horrible" GS sports models are hopelessly boring. And they all look the same in slightly different colors.

>>17099227
>Nnnoooo what if I want to go swimming with my dress watch?!

It's not reasonable because you're asking for more than you need. You're confusing "nice to have" with "need to have".

>>17099199
Discontinued for years. The gray dial 245 is a sought after piece that everyone is looking for.

GS is increasing prices of new models and discontinuing older more affordable pieces, it's a stupid tactic.

I got mine used from Japan, it was in great condition. I might get that white dial 341 from Sakura, everything is like permanently 10% off with the currency situation

>>17098572
You're not gonna find much in that bulky, integrated bracelet style that's both small and cheap. 35mm PRX is probably your best bet.

>>17099233
oh i don't need any watch. it would have been nice to have a spring drive that actually looks good and that i can actually wear wherever i want to without worrying about it. you're blowing this way out of proportion.

>Grand Seiko makes really nice dials
>Don't want people to think I'm a tryhard poorfag
It's not fair. I don't want to buy a Rolex.

>>17099262
>I don't want to buy a Rolex.
You could always buy a Patek.

>>17099264
I'd rather buy a car at this point.

>>17099253
I'm glad you understand my point.

>>17098707
because those are low-value individuals whose opinions you shouldn't care about anyway
the people that matter (the elite), the people you should aspire to surround yourself with and to become like, do know about PP and VC
of course only watch autists know about ALS and JLC and Nomos but that's another story

>>17099262
>I don't want to buy a Rolex.
Yes, you do.

>>17099262
>Don't want people to think I'm a tryhard poorfag
The real question is WHO do you want to not think you're a tryhard poorfag.

If the answer is "poor people" then, by all means, Rolex is your best bet.
If the answer is "rich people", be aware that Rolexes are not impressive to the upper class. That's when you're looking at PP/AP/VC/ALS...maybe some JLCs.

Gaudy sports watches sell.

>>17099323
Rolex doesn't even need to sponsor anything since you have to be on a waiting list to buy one.

>>17099336
I didn't need to get on some sort of waiting list or whatever.
Is this an American thing?

>>17099322
They do or should i say did. There are plenty of nice Grand Seikos, you just have to dig a bit. Take a scroll over this site, he is an enthusiast who catalogs all things Seiko. Has an impressive collection of them as well. You might find some gems.

Come on man. I'm sure Japanese sensibilities differ somewhat but you're telling me people buy this dogshit?

Help, I've accumulated far too many cheap shitters. How the fuck do I decide what to get rid of? I only have one or two watches I'd never sell - is that a good sign I should try to get rid of the rest?

>>17099346
>I'm sure Japanese sensibilities differ somewhat but you're telling me people buy this dogshit?
Apparently they do. I mean, I sure as shit don't, but watch geeks and normies have very different tastes.

>>17099338
What did you buy?
I'm in Europe, living in a rather small city (100k inhabitants, north east of France). I've told the AD I wanted a DJ on Jubilee, preferably with flutted bezel.
2 weeks later the lady calls me for a silver DJ on oyster bracelet which I have declined. 2 months later she calls me again for an Explorer and a black OP, both I have declined.
Didn't get any call recently.

>>17099347
>How the fuck do I decide what to get rid of?
Put a piece of tape across each watch's dial. Mark the tape with today's date.
Then go about your life normally.

After 2 months, any watch with tape still on it is one you don't care about enough to wear. Throw it out.

>>17099354
>100k inhabitants, north east of France
meaning 98k muslims who are probably more interested in gold watches

Why the fuck aren't they selling the swatch x omega pieces online

>>17099905
They eventually will once the hype dies down.

Is Squale based or cringe?

~$230 for a plastic quartz watch is disgraceful even if it's built by swedish robots.

>>17100038
Based until they stopped engraving the logo on the side of the 1521

Please recommend me some watches to replace this precious fossil of mine that shit the bed, turns out it didn't need a new battery it's kill. Must be 38mm case and below thanks

>>17099710
I have an homage submariner but I don't think i'll ever get rid of it
I probably won't buy more homages though, unless it's a discontinued $200k vintage watch or something.

>>17100090
This blog makes no sense. Unsubscribed.

>>17100083
Who knows depends on your budget. For some reason your watch kind of reminds me of an uglier super sea wolf 53 skin tho pic related. 38mm seems like a stupid limit unless you're truly a complete wristlet. But if that's the case then maybe just a 35mm prx or something.

>>17100115
>38mm seems like a stupid limit unless you're truly a complete wristlet.
It seems that way, budget is 3-400 bucks. Thoughts on seiko watches compared to citizen?

>>17100115

Bulgari Octo Finnisimo on my sub 6 inch wrist

>>17100128
Brand-wise they are on par imo but catalog wise, Citizen is so lacking compared to current Seiko designs. Seiko gets more hype since they focus so much more on mechanical movement watches. But it all depends on which models you're talking about given the huge catalog of both.

>>17100143
Meh I don’t hate it.

if not the main battery what else could be the issue? the watch has always been stored>>17100083

>>17098566
very nice

>>17100142
Pro tip when looking at ebay Seikos that look fake as fuck such as this one. Check the case back and Google the 8 digit code with a hyphen in the middle. Like that one says 7009-3040 on the back. 7009 is the movement and 3040 is the case type. It won't tell you the exact model of the watch but should show you a lot of Seikos that look similar but with different dial and hand sets. Googling this code gets you some very different looking watches.

>>17100142
>mumbai special
Avoid.

>>17100143
I prefer the skeleton dial.

>>17100143
Got a movement shot?

>>17100148
I really dig the worn concrete 5 Sports. Want to see if someone near me carries it so I can check it out in person.

>>17100196

It's actually a fake. Cost me $378 total. Watch is 7.1mm thick thanks to microrotor. You will see that the microrotor here is larger than in the genuine.

I'm getting a custom dial done for it next

Money aside, would you pick a sub or a SMP

>>17100243
I already have a Seamaster, so the Rolex.

>>17100243
I'd rather get a BB58, or a seamaster 300 1957.

>>17100239
A fake vulgari? What a waste of time.

thoughts on this watch? it's by a vendor from the philipines which has me hesitant. he seems to have many listings

>>17100276
that seiko is the perfect size for my tiny wrist, it's likely a fake right?

>>17100262
I think he's not going to fake a Seiko, also if it doesn't arrive you'll get your money back from eBay, as long as you pay through eBay. Usually they keep it until the transaction is over and only then wire it to the seller.
I'm most annoyed that they are selling it for the price of a new watch, so if this is still being made today I'd rather buy a new one

>>17100287
>I'm most annoyed that they are selling it for the price of a new watch
that, and it doesn't come with booklets or anything
>so if this is still being made today I'd rather buy a new one
unfortunately they're discontinued, all that aside is it a good watch?

Looks much cooller than the Casio calculator.

Damn I really want one of these, but with silver dials instead.
So, does it make the girls wet? I'm thinking yes but idk?

ok boys! fuck that refurb philipines ebay shit, im about to buy one of these. thoughts?

>>17100372
which one, blue or green? (thinking blue) is quartz/solar a mistake?

dunno what happened but this thing has been crazy accurate recently, when i first got it some 7 months ago i was getting +2s / day but now it barely did +15s in 2 months since I set it last time with daily use
best watch I ever had

>>17100258
fooled you lmao

>>17098566
I belive the fake rolex fags because it's plausibile. But how do the rest of yoy fucking assholes afford to buy luxury watches and you shitpost on 4chan? I refuse to believe people that are actually successful post here. The only other explanation is that you're lying or some kind of trust fund baby

>>17100083
Just replace the movement. If you open the back I'll tell you which replacement it needs.

>>17100388
Very nice. Do you find it comfortable and not too heavy on the arm?

>>17100376
It's your watch, not mine. Since you posted more pictures of the blue one I think you prefer blue.

>>17100376
Each mechanism type has its pros and cons. Quartz is great for pain free, set-and-forget. Leave it on a shelf for a year and it'll still be ticking when you come back and keeping the kind of time that most affordable mechanicals lose inside a week. Solar is peak quartz, you get an unreasonable amount of time between servicing.
Personally I own both quartz and some automatics. My current daily is a quartz. Just about what you need and want.

>>17100394
/wt/ started off on /g/ where the some of the posters in the threads were people with decent paying tech industry jobs and the rest were students or NEET's. Besides, a 70's datejust is like what, 3k or something at the minute, old Air-Kings are probably even less? If watches are your brand of autism, it isn't really a lot of money when you look at it alongside another expensive consumerism hobby/obsession like gaming, anime fig collecting, custom keyboards or whatever. Some people just put 100% of their disposable income into watches because that's what they're into.

>>17100420
I'm kinda retarded with watches, does quartz ever fail? I'd imagine a mechanical watch can easily be rebuilt? What happens when quartz fails? Guessing the lifespan isn't the same? Also, thoughts on using that watch as a daily watch with jeans,button ups, and polo shirts? Thanks

>>17100423
It's technically possible but quartz watches are very durable. There's much less to go wrong and the mechanisms are practically a solved problem. A mechanical is more likely to have something go wrong and need maintenance of some kind.
If you're expecting it to be an even trade you're mistaken. Quartz is pretty much objectively better as an actual means of timekeeping. Mechanical is still around because of aesthetic preferences and people enjoying what's perceived as a more premium or intricate method of operation.
If you have a regular battery-powered quartz you're looking at about three years per battery. A solar can be more like ten. If a quartz fails it could be repaired if it's a minor failure or the entire mechanism could be replaced, and the same is also true of mechanicals.

>>17100389

you are not me and its really a fake i got for $378 (from a trusted counterfeit dealer called Hontwatch)

compare the movement to a real one here: https://youtu.be/e7V1dnsa2cY?t=124

this replica uses the Hangzhou 5000A micro-rotor movement also seen in the Baltic MR01

>>17100258
if i could get a legit watch this thin, with this gerald genta design, at this price point - I would. And it would sell like hot cakes. But the best value will always come from high end replicas.

Im looking into starting a microbrand using the factory that made this replica. I need 1000 orders on kickstarter

>>17100394
I am a millionaire (sold my small software company this year) but I hardly spend money. I grew up posting here and I phase in and out of posting for a while then leaving for a while. I only am posting here right now as I got a watch.

>>17100424
Just wanted to be clear because this is the most I have and ever will spend on a watch and want something longterm. Good to hear that this can be fixed and hopefully handed down some generations, is that correct?

>>17100429
Disposable-tier quartz watches do exist but a decent Seiko isn't going to be one of them.

>>17100433
Thanks for the info

It sucks that nobody's making objective tests of watch manufacturers' technical claims. I guess because it would be too expensive?
For example, many high horology brands brag about how their movement designs help accuracy, but then never actually say what their watches' accuracy is, and nobody online ever puts them on a timegrapher. Perhaps most important to test would be "reliability", but I wouldn't even know where to start with that short of buying a sample size of 30 and throwing them into a time machine to run for 10 years.

That would mean they have no other expenses whatsoever besides their watch collection/hobby. No house, no bills, no spouse, etc. My engineer friend who is well off does not spend that much money for vidya or figures and his monthly income is in the 5 digits. I don't make as much and I spend money on vidya and figures but I wouldn't just drop 3k for one purchase, the most I've spent one go was building my wife her work PC and even then it wasn't 3k. The other anon that replied to me about selling his online business (doubt) makes sense, he's probably single or with a girlfriend and rents a place but fucking every other nigger on here is posting a Patek or AP and those are anything but 3k.
