Second for vintage watches

>>17158864

Any reccs for situations involving intense heat? I'd go with G Shock but it would melt and I'd rather not destroy a Rolex with heat either. I thought maybe an automatic watch since a battery can't withstand heat well but then I got thinking about the oil in the automatics.

Am I over thinking?

Any recommendations for a mechanical diver somewhat unique in design but subtle enough for daily wear for under 1k?

>>17158872
How hot for how long? You can boil a g-shock in water for a few minutes and its still fine.
Heat fluctuations like that would fuck an automatic. All the little moving parts would warp and flex and the temp changes would fuck with the beat rate.
Assuming this is for a job in a foundry or something just ask your coworkers what they wear

I love this dial. Tissot really knocked it out of the park with this one.

>>17158889
I agree. I think the back is handsome as fuck too. I got the 2021 model and they swapped out the gold rotor and it made me a little sad

>>17158886
Probably climates where the air temp will be 110F at the lowest and water that will probably be around the same. I know this wouldn't trash a watch immediately but it would be subjected to it frequently over a long period, so I'd rather not keep replacing it.

>>17158872
how about snow watches? what should i wear when i go skiing and all that shit?

a quick google search

>>17158905

A few months ago Montblanc released a limited edition Geosphere made for extreme cold up to -50 celsius. Not my thing but it has some neat features like a vacuum inside the watch to prevent fogging. Nice gimmick, a 'mountaineering' watch.

>>17158905
designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -45 C to +80 C.

>>17158935
Did you wear the watch around your neck?

>>17158964
That would be stupid

>>17158954
>-45 C
The oil would freeze before that temp, locking the watch up

1.5 years of waiting.

>>17158968
>Making use of Sinn's special oil 66-228 with a copper sulphate capsule, EDR seals, and a protective inert gas filling contribute to the extreme temperature resistance of this watch.

Does an Italian-brand Swiss-made watch mean anything if it's some high end fashion line?

>>17158981
It means it's likely dogshit.

>>17158981

I want to buy this watch but feel weird dropping $2k on a watch from a company that also sells $300 watches - talk me out of it, but then back into it

I'd get the hesalite personally.

>>17159046

I love the Hesalite look but this time around the applied logo on the dial and being able to stare at the 3861 swayed me to the sapphire. I love it. Honestly can't go wrong with either.

Why isn't this $300 though?

Should i get a different tropic band for it? I thought this was the perfect choice but I feel like I could have done better with a retro looking strap. Considering the ex fogmaster (wva-320j) is based on a 80's watch (amw-320r) I would like to stick to something from that era or maybe a tad bit older.

Sapphire sandwich

>>17158970
It's nice but I hate roman numerals. Bar indices are always nicer. Also I feel the daydate should only be available in gold.

>>17159111
I put my G-Shocks in the fridge to see what the was the point of Low-Temp LCDs. The display slowed down which is only noticeable on the fast changing digits like the seconds. Everything else was fine. The stopwatch was most noticeable. I decided not to bother with low temp LCDs since the coldest winters don't really get cold enough to affect the watch.

>>17159173
I ski in -30°C sometimes, not counting wind chill. The display gets very weak and doesn't display digits correctly sometimes. I stick to an ana digi gshock for now until I can get a polar one. Also the solar ones are much worse for cold weather than regular ones, the rechargeable battery dies very fast.

>>17159000
well maybe shitmega should step up their game then??

I want this watch even though diving terrifies me and I'll probably never use it for it's intended use.

I really like the fully lumed dial but I'm torn between that and the safe choice

>>17159192
>>17159193

>>17159195
You're right, the fully lumed dial is the way to go with this one, I already have enough safe options.

Is the Orient Bambino okay to gift to someone?

>>17159220
Dude anything is ok to gift anyone. I gifted a digital casio to my friend's girlfriend and she still tells me how much she loves it.

this is awful

hideous

way over the top, 4 o'clock date window, shiny blobs at the indices and on the crown(s), 24hr sub dial, infantile colour scheme extending to the rubber strap and so much more...


... i really like it

>>17159223
>she loves it.
shes just being nice
you can probably find her listing on ebay

>>17159228
She wears it literally all the time. Go be a sad loser somewhere else.

>>17159220
Yes. But check the size. They have 2. One might be too large for a thin wrist.

Is this how you measure a wrist?
What watch size would fit me best?

Here is how wide my wrist is
The same question remains,as in my other post
Is this how you measure how wide your wrist is?
In your opinion is my wrist small?
I am 172cm(measured more than 2 years ago) and 57kgs(last week)

>>17159241
you planning on wearing the watch right over the ulnar bone, where you have placed the tape-measure, or are you going to wear the watch just a little above it ?

also, did you spread your fingers out ? it can make quite a difference

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

>>17159256
please stop shilling your gay ass channel here. i for one don't ever open these videos, you faggot.

>>17159254
No,I am planning on wearing that watch right before the little bump on my wrist,so that it dosen't run arround on my arm.I want to do physical work with this watch,It needs to be comfortable.Also the strap must not be plastic,I hate how it feels on my skin.However I like how metal feels on my skin,I have never tried a leather or a "Nato" strap,although I think I would not have a problem,as long as its natural leather and not synthetic material.I am not sure how sweat would affect those 2 strap materials
And I think that I did spread my fingers,although I am not so sure now,as I took the photo yesterday

Omega

>>17159272
that's ok then, just remeasure where you 'are' going to wear the watch, making sure your hand is fully open

btw: you've got an average size wrist, so you can pretty much wear whatever diameter you like - though anything over 42mm might look a little big
probably a good idea to visit a jewellers and try a few different sizes of watches on, to see what you're happy with
and it also helps to know the lug-to-lug on a watch case, to help you know if it will sit on your wrist comfortably

Are there any watches that aren't smart watches but have a weather window and can bluetooth to devices? I remember the Oceanus can sync timezones via bluetooth but I started wondering if some watches exist that will connect just to show the weather in a small window on the dial.

>>17158928

It's supposedly a Reverso, but JLC say it's not theirs. Andreas Huber was watch store/maker so looks like they customized the dial with the store name, which probably wasn't too weird at the time if you think of Tiffany watches for example. Also pic related.

Took off the bracelet for the first time today! Looks so cute!

As time passes, Omega is becoming less and less desirable. For a long time it was the best option in its price range (ie luxury sports watches slightly less expensive than Rolex) but now...
>Breitling is slowly getting rid of its mall shitter brand reputation
>Tudor has its own in-house movement with great specs (COSC certified, METAS certified, 70hPR...)
>Grand Seiko is now being distributed in Europe and in the US
If I had to buy a diver under 6k, I'd get a BB58 over a Seamaster.
A chronograph? Pic related over a Speedmaster.
A 3 hands tool watch? A GS over an Aqua Terra.
Omega isn't that desirable of a brand. They do a lot of cringe marketing shit and many of their designs are really bad taste.

>>17159551
Breitling is making some good watches but you didn't post them. It's the premier line. Tudor has image and design problems. Grand Seiko is good at what they do, but what they do isn't much. It's the same variations on two watches over and over, with some abominable chronographs/divers thrown in randomly.

I'm no huge Omega fan but until Rolex becomes accessible, they will always have a big share of the market

>>17159549
i'm erect

Are Oyster Perpetuals and Air-Kings still selling over MSRP? I just got a raise, and don't have an all steel watch. I find many of the designs to be too busy, and the Oyster Perpetual seems perfectly minimalist, like I could wear it daily and not care about dings and scratches as it builds character.

>>17159586
I love the bb36 but I’m saving up for the Rolex explorer 36 instead. I think the Rolex name/hand set, blue lume, and micro adjust bracelet makes it worth the extra few thousand. I don’t even think the bb is a chronometer is it?

>>17159495
no one is falling for this shitty bait either, fag. just go away.

Which one?

>>17159612
The 35mm quartz is the one most similar to the original from the early 70s. The automatic is just APRO cope.

>>17159612
Quartz small version.

>>17159591
its not but its been running on chronometer level pretty consistently, i actually enjoy the design more than the explorer but yeah sure get the rolex! i feel like the comparison is actually kinda lacking because the watches have 2 very different vibes

>>17159612

>>17159583

>>17159612
The automatic.

>>17159367
3bar/30 m/ 100 ft. Not a watch you want to submerge for long periods of time but can withstand reasonable stuff like rain and brief swims

>>17159617
>Ballsy move. I'd never do it.
It's just a Tudor. Easy and cheap to replace.

>>17159616
I also like it more than the explorer, i prefer the round indicies on the bb36 and I also hate the 3 6 9 numerals on the explorer.

>>17159632
yeah same, i really cant get into the font of the numerals
>>17159591
also btw, the green lume on the bb36 with the blue dial looks really good in my opinion, is blue lume a rolex exclusive?

Creator of G shock is an actual G

>>17159638
I think omega lume is blue also. Probably a bunch of cheaper micro brands do it too. I don’t think there’s anything extra expensive about the blue color

>>17159638
>is blue lume a rolex exclusive?
plenty of companies use blue lume. Blue lume looks more high tech but green lume is still preferred because it lasts longer at higher intensity.

>>17159632
the BB36 would be great if it weren't for the goddamn snowflake hands.

I feel like Tudor is forcing them the same way that Omega forces the He escape valve on the Seamasters. These days, you can already find people who are like
>I didn't like it at first, but now when I think of the Seamaster, I think of the He valve.

>>17159617

>>17159735
There's very wealthy people out there that a 60 or 120k watch would be like a 600 or 1200 watch to you and me. There's a law of diminishing returns, but there's a level that you can't cross with a budget or value watch. If you want a royal oak, nothing will do but a royal oak, which is partially a design thing and partially a quality issue.

I am thinking about putting their chocolate bar strap on my Steeldive "Captian Willard" (pic related)

Your watch is really versatile and it will look good with a lot of straps. You might also consider this style.

I used to hate dive watches, than I went to loving them. Especially dive watches with the rubber band and the little dips near the watch at the top of the band.

anyone else?

Thr best reasonably priced tropic is thr one from Borealis, its incredibly comfortable feels great. Would recommend.
Err they were an easy recommendation, looks like they have raised their price by $10 since then.

how old are you?

Help I think I just wanna buy Seikos all day.

My two watch collection right now. What watch should I get to round out the collection? Budget I’m willing to spend is $7k

>>17159737
It is perhaps one of the best examples of diminishing returns ever. The design and workmanship of a $50,000 watch is not 500 time better than a $100 watch. There is certainly a difference but there is an awful lot of flex and/or cope wrapped up in luxury watches. Remember Bill Gates is globalist lizard person and one of the richest people in the world and he wears a $50 Casio on the original (shitty) strap. Just get a "replica" for $500 unless you just have money to blow.

>>17159925
Something good. That way you have a balance of "nice" and "dogshit".

>>17159925
That G-shock is more reliable and will last longer than any 7k watch. Do yourself a favor and reduce your budget to $750-1k. Keep 6k for something way more important than wrist jewelry

>>17159739

I can stop being poor but you can never stop being a fagott.

>>17159934
Should I get this or a Submariner?

>>17159960
Neither.

Why would anyone buy a Tudor BB Pro when you can get the Steinhart at a fraction of the cost and get the objectively better 1655 design.

>>17159960
Submariner obvioulsy

>>17159963

I like the Tudor version better than the Rolex version. No one cares about the Rolex version anyway

>>17159982
Said the Rolexless faggot.

>>17159898
Hey, we have a pretty decent side thread about straps for Casio, but yeah a bunch of fagotts who don't even own luxury watches are shitposting here.

>>17159925
You should stop now. Assuming you didn't overpay for the sarb you already have a great collection that covers everything you need. Dropping 7k on a semi luxury watch is silly.
(Get a rolex datejust, 36mm fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet)

Ikr this is why you can never take someone's opinion about watches seriously that only owns plastic digital seriously

Unless you’re a literal millionaire, I cannot imagine paying $7k for wrist jewelry. You’re paying a month or twos salary to impress a few people on the Internet

>>17159989

>>17160003

>>17159973

I have $50 Chinese watches with slave gmt hands a friend gave to me and even those feel like a ripoff. I would never pay actual money for a gmt that doesn't worth the way the good ones do.

>>17160011
I don’t like overpaying for brand names

>>17160029
Don't the Speedmasters have a waitlist now?

>>17159980
Because PP hated the watch so much they only made 20 a year and every new money Instagram rich fag wats to own one

>>17160019
What about yourself? What if you enjoy watches? Pretty sad you hate watches so much, or you have some mental thing that won't let you enjoy them

>>17160019
No he just wears the good shit in private.

>Gets you "clout" with non watch fags because that's what you really care about.

>>17160033
Depends on your AD but even if they don't have one, they will be able to get you one probably within a week or two tops.

>>17160042
Not even that. 99.9% of people will not notice a watch on your wirst. Lol. And even if they do, they will either wonder why you aren’t wearing an Apple Watch or why you’re wearing a fake watch

Then you gotta explain that AKSHULLY I paid thousands of dollars for this watch I can give to my children and blah blah blah. By this point they’ve lost all interest

>>17160030
Not buying what you like is so fucking impressive bruh. Why don't you repeat it a dozen times every thread and masturbate your ego even more. Weird flex but ok

I would say you can't take anyone who dismisses cheap plastic watches very seriously. They only suck if you are a clout chasing fagott. Schlomo thanks you for your support!

>>17160003
>to impress a few people on the Internet
Nobody buys watches to impress the anonymous weirdos on this thread. You buy these kinds of watches for their beauty. Maybe you're impressed by the technical achievement of the movement. Perhaps it's the proportions of the case. Maybe the artistry of the dial. Whatever the reason, it's because that watch tugged at your piece of your soul and you had to have it.

>>17160050
Why not both?

Any earthly idea when Tiffany & Co is releasing their new watch lineup?

>>17159851
You're legit retarded

>>17160047
Why do you assume I want to impress people? Lol

>>17159892
Thanks but I hate those straps. It came on one like that originally.

>>17160056
Why do you assume everyone else does?

>>17160003
Come on anon, financing jewelry while you rent your home and have no savings or invest is the American dream. You gotta show the homies how baller you are!

>>17160052
I get that. I just don’t see that with the Speedmaster or Submariner.

>>17159468
>lovely accutron on bracelet, really cool, too expensive
The accutron was probably the least expensive watch there actually. Watch itself was about $280 (syrupbux if I'm not mistaken), and the kreisler coffin link I managed to snag for $100. Had to get it refinished by watchmakeranon years ago because mybob is a fucking hack fraud who did this to my bracelet.

>>17160066

>>17160052
nah you bought it so you could post pictures on Instagram and get likes from status obsessed small souled bugmen

>>17160069
I can't either. I'd buy a VC bull horn or a jlc Polaris

>>17160003
Imma go out on a limb and guess you are white or possibly Asian.

>>17160070
And after a competent watchmaker fixed it.

>>17160063
The Speedmaster has everything. Manual wind chronographs are vanishingly rare, especially at below $10k. It has history and pedigree and it's an excellent movement. It's a design icon in the watch world. They could bump the price up from $6400 to $10k and people would still buy them.

Rolex is a different animal. There's too much going on around the brand that makes it difficult to peg their value. A submariner is a good watch at MSRP. You're just going to have to jump through hoops to get it at MSRP.

>>17160063
That's just a matter of taste. Why do people like some artists and hate others? I don't like the speedmaster or submariner either, but I certainly don't buy the cheapest possible watch as well.

>>17160037
I like watches from all over the spectrum. You don't have to sped a lot of money to get a decent watch and you don't have to be an asshole if you do buy a nice watch.

>>17159932
legit good advice

>>17160041
>>17160045
Omega sells watches. Rolex sells Rolex.

>>17160069
Because you like it? You don't renovate your bathroom to be made with expensive italians tials and a claw foot bath tub and a sink carved out of a single piece of quartz to impress other people, you get that because you like those things.

>>17160017
Probably because you’re thinking more about a 20k trinket than actual real life. Tell me, is it a status symbol to you or do you actually use a wristwatch to tell time? Either way you’re a retard because both are outdated. The only reason watches are still relevant at all is because of ludicrously large marketing budgets.

>>17159982
and most importantly
>it's a fucking Rolex

I fucking hate Rolliefags so much
“Buy a Rolex because yes”
Honestly I’m going to avoid buying a Rolex just so I never become an insufferable faggot like /fa/ WT rolexfags

How do I take the boomer pill and not see metal band watches as objects that cry out to be firmly latched onto a fat hairy 50+ arm on the cusp of cardiac arrest and skin cancer? I only ever see fatties wear rolex.

>>17159192
I like it a lot actually

>>17160366
You can’t, that’s their demographic. The only place you’ll see an attractive person sporting a Rolex is in an advertisement

>>17160353
I have a watch that costs under 1000. I did meticulous research on it for months, looked at a ton of watches, and finally knew what I wanted. I wouldn’t trade it for any rolex unless I could sell it and buy my original watch plus some others. Quality and heritage are important but I feel like buying a watch that “speaks to you” or whatever is the most important thing.

NEHW DAERHT WEN

>>17160417
Same thing here. Which watch did you go for? I went for the Invicta Joker, not one day passes that it doesn't put a smile in my face. And the face of the rolex wearing chuds at the club when bitches comment on my watch and not theirs is priceless.
