>2. If you've watched Prometheus enough times to have noticed that any of the characters were wearing wristwatches you might have brain problems
Actually I just noticed that one because it's in a decent closeup, looked it up and it seems Oris had more watches in it on other characters but this one looked the best.

The movie was shit and Covenant is even bigger shit sadly.

>>17458216
Which ones? I was just thinking about how it would be fun to have a bright colored shitter just to mix things up

Would you rather a moonSwatch or a Seiko 5?

>>17458230
moonswatches are so retarded, i can't believe people are still talking about them

>>17458230
Neither, for that money i'd buy a vintage Seiko.

I'm looking for a second mechanical watch for around 1k, 38mm. I really like the Hamilton jazzmaster open heart 2022 but they're model is either too big or they have a female 36mm model. Any alternative suggestions? Or should I just say fuck it and become a tranny?

>>17458239
>Or should I just say fuck it and become a tranny?
sounds like you already are

>>17458239
Becoming a tranny costs way more than 1k, you're better off buying a watch.

>>17458240
Speak for yourself, faggot

>>17458238
Looks good. Wish there was an online store of vintage watches, and new watches to buy with some confidence. eBay is full of fake listings from india, and amazon is nearly unusable. Search for Seiko and it immediately recommends like 10 other brands and clearly chinese knockoffs of shit.

>>17458248
It helps if you know exactly what you're looking for, but that takes quite some time to research. If you just search Seiko then you get suggested all sorts of shit, if you sort by price on eBay you can skip the cheap stuff but you still have to have a pretty good idea of what you're after.

Anyone know what kind of watch he's wearing?

>>17458211
I like these watches

>>17458230
Moonswatch had me until the stories of broken crowns and the case colors bleeding on your wrist came out. They just had to go for that hippie environmentally friendly plastic, didn’t they.

>>17458313
>I hate that the world around me is engineered to extract as much profit as possible but ultimately just makes products and services unhelpful
>fucking communists
Is this an ironic thing or just a refusal to accept reality?

>>17458324
That castor oil plastic only solves one half of the problem, they're still using a non-biodegradable plastic in novelty watches they're going to make hundreds of thousands of which are ALL going to end up in a landfill somewhere because they built them like shit and will all break in less than a decade.

>>17458324
It only happened with the yellow and dark blue ones, which they've said will be using a different coloring process because of the color leakage. If you want one, just wait a few more weeks or months. Stock is still flying off the shelves to the revisions will be the more widely available versions soon enough.

I also keep seeing chinks at my local swatch store buying them and then trying to resell on eBay for double price constantly. I just pray nobody is retarded enough to pay $500 or more for one of these things.

>>17458273
You're wrong. The F105 is superior in every way except the price. But I'm not a poorfag so I buy them by the case.

Do you have the wrist to pull off a 46.5mm watch?

Post watches that actually got you compliments
>people don't care what it is as long as itou wear it well

>>17458388
It looks pretty good with Earth tone clothes.

>>17458388
You start, because those 2 are fucking ugly and theres no way you got a compliment on them unless it was a fake compliment like saying that girl with down syndrome in a prom dress looks pretty.

>>17458364
Giving me an actual reply to a clearly sarcastic post with satire and hypperbole. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

>>17458382
Just speculating here, but weren't those watches so big because pilots wore them over their suit?
No one can pull off watches that big, that's why they make smaller version now.

>>17458403
I have my doubts since the Speedmaster had to fit over a spacesuit but was still a normal size and just used a big strap.

>>17458403
the German air force in WWII contracted out to 5 companies to make watches for them, IWC was one of those brands. The watches were 55mm which is fuckhuge but they were designed for maximum visibility and to be worn over a suit
in the early 2000s, I believe without looking it up it was 2002, IWC brought the design back with some updates but shrunk it to 46.5mm. Still huge because that's the point, but not 55mm which is ridiculous
a few years back they updated it and shrank it again to 43mm so more people that wanted it could get it without being filtered by the size
from 1949 to 2005 they had the Pilot Mark series which was sort of a mix between the original WWII watch and a military field watch

long story short, yes, it's huge on purpose but the original it's based off of was 55mm and too huge to be practical.

>>17458326
>Is this an ironic thing

>>17458403
Yeah, it was just more functional to have a fuck off huge watch with open cockpits, goggles, and planes where you kept your hands on the controls most of the time. Of course it's ridiculous and pointless now but the giant Breitling or IWC is as iconic as the aviators and the leather jacket for pilots.

There is something so very appealing about pilot watches but I do not know what

>>17458506
Simplicity.

>>17458506

I know like 4 sales assistants at Rolex now I’m about to start a beautiful minds room with all their info

>>17458506
They're supposed to look rather similar to 40s airplane gauge dials, be easy to read in low light, and not have too much information on them to make it confusing or slow to read. Most pilots watches are bastardized versions today.

Now that this is an aviator watch general, can someone recommend me dressy aviator watches, bonus points if white dial

>>17458517

>>17458506
its the nazi ties, innit

>>17458519
Beautiful. Now I wonder if you perhaps know of a dressy aviator watch with black dial?

>>17458516
>and not have too much information on them to make it confusing or slow to read
This. I really don't get the appeal for Breitling. Pure headache dial.

>>17458577
Doesn't exist. Pilots aren't poor.

Is there no current substitute for the SARB?
This is the closest thing I've found in terms of looks, but it's quartz.

>>17458577
I wanna say there is an allieexpress model or two some anons on here like.

>>17458585
I think there are Seiko 5's nearly identical to that as an automatic. I haven't pulled the trigger on one of these, but browsing amazon there is something nearly identical to your pic but automatic.

good evening watch bros
I'm starting a high-stress job soon and am planning to buy a watch after 6 months as something to look forward to. options are sinn or a (probably used) IWC pilot. any feedback appreciated

>>17458613
this would be something I'd probably wear at work only, business casual

>>17458211
Where is Bread-anon? I want to hear more about how we are brothers in yeast or whatever.

Also, here's a picture of a Tissot PRX in mint green.

>>17458601
These are also discontinued I believe, cause I only see divers and field watches in their current Seiko 5 lineup, which is fine but I was wondering if they had any currently active watch with that iconic autistic Seiko look that’s also automatic.
There’s one Presage that kind of looks like it but it’s almost 1000 bucks which isn’t worth it obviously, and then there’s the SRPD41 which doesn’t really look that similar.

Can anyone figure out what the fuck is the difference between a damasko DC80 and DC82? Why does one cost 110 euros more than the other? Pic related is the DC 80.

And here is the DC 82. It's the same fucking thing. Why do they want more for one that the other. They have a slightly different movement but no extra power reserves and functions the same. I'm so confused.

>>17458624
Date window at 4:30

What are devastating repercussions of owning this watch?

To that anon who told me to replace the bezel on the dw-5600e I had, it's coming in the mail tomorrow. Come home white man

>>17458649
Having a movement where you can't easily regulate it due to the powermatic80 type movement in it.

>>17458613
Get the IWC, I own the Mark XVIII version and it's pretty cool. I don't have the wrists for the Big Pilot so I got the Mark XVIII and have worn it every day for the past year. It looks great, good size, the design is awesome and it's an IWC which is a lot cooler than a Sinn. Watch nerds know IWC and it's just a more satisfying brand to own than Sinn which is one tier above shitter.
>but muh Sellita movement
Don't care. It doesn't have a display caseback so I don't care about the movement as long as it keep good time which it does. Mine is +/- a few seconds a day
The new Mark XX is kinda cool with the better movement and hour reserve, but I don't like how they changed the indices. And for 1k more I can't justify the price for what you get.
Yeah I'm biased because I own one and IWC is my favorite brand, but I was in your exact shoes not too long ago looking at Sinns that I knew I would never be fully happy with.
My next watch purchase will be Portuguese Automatic lmao

How big of a deal that is? I can't find anything with similar aesthetic. To me it kind of looks like old porshe 911 embodied in a watch.

>>17458682
It depends, it's a problem for if there comes a point in the future where new balance assemblies aren't available and you have no choice but to get it regulated.

>>17458649
Can I use this watch as an alternative to a more expensive pilot? t. poorfag

bros, what the FUCK is this watch? I have been trying to ID it for the past year. it's not a brand I am familiar with at all.
based on the spacing of the text on the bottom I believe it says "Cдeлaнo в Poccии" so it's gotta be a Russian brand
but what the FUCK is it? it's stumping me

>>17458679
I forget is the crystal plastic or mineral? If plastic a bit of polywatch, a new bezel and it's good as new. Me I put a screen protector on mine, idk why people say it's pointless since it's a gshock, makes no sense to me. If anything you need a screen protector more on a gshock than any other watch because of how much they get abused.

i dont want a replica, but i know i will not afford a cartier tank within the next 5 years. whats a similar looking watch with the same aesthetic from a reputable watch maker brand?

Should I go for a pilot watch with or without chronometer?

>>17458674
i love it

Say an outfitterlike Eddie Bauer, LL.Bean, Orvis or Filson wanted a rugged utility/field watch to slap their logo on a dial, what would be the ideal maker of choice to partner with? Marathon, Boldr, Bertucci?

Thoughts on Hamilton aviation watches?

>>17458821
lmao

>>17458806
Seiko make one currently but it's fuckhuge for a Tank homage. There are more appropriately sized Tank homages from Seiko and other decent manufacturers but you're looking at vintage in that case.
>t. guy who also wants a nice Tank alternative

Anytime I see anyone wear a Seiko or a Casio I instantly think they’re poor.

>>17458891
>told what i am supposed to want or like
Literally all social media these days is tailored to you, it represents what you search for one way or another. Also good luck if you're a small business getting the word out there about what you do, because pre-social media you either had to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in physical ads or wave goodbye to all your great things that i'm sure you're manufacturing and aspirations of making it.

Automatic or preferably hand wound. Something easy to service like eta/sellita

Nothing Compares

>>17459068
Overdesigned, it's cool when a watch has a single element with a quirky, standout design but with the Seamaster 300 every single piece is designed to pull your attention and the end result is just visually noisy.

Only Seamaster 300 I like is the two tone models because the different colours at least isolate different elements from each other

>>17459068

>>17458248
ebay here guarantee authenticity. I sold some shoes n had to send them to their authenticator first who then sends it to the customer. All the watch listings are the same.

>>17459194

>>17459193
How long do you have it? Did you post it here before?

>>17459196
here it's only for watches over 2k

Real talk. Are there any good microbrands, or its all just dishonest muh special snowflake poor quality bullshit?

>>17459198
I have posted it here before from time to not, not that often. I've had it for probably 2-3 years

>>17459214
I remember you yeah. What are you thinking of buying next?

>>17459211
>Are there any good microbrands
No, with a caveat.

The styling is sometimes cool. The external finishing is sometimes done to an acceptable standard. The movements are not finished but are off-the-shelf, so even if it dies, you can plug a new one in (or have If your watchmaker do it if you can't/wont).

But if you want to keep that watch a long time, at some point it will need something replaced, like a crown, like a handset. If there was water ingress it may need a dial. Tiny companies like that don't keep a back log of parts (and that's assuming they're even around in 5, 10, 20 years).

>>17459214
I like this one

>>17459194
This one looks dumb though because it looks like a normal seiko with the smaller GS logo

>>17459196
Hope the POC you sold those shoes had a good time with them kek. Collecting shoes is the opposite of a white man's pursuit.

>>17459211
Imo not really because watches kinda live on brand heritage. If you just want a watch to tell time you would not buy an automatic so why buy something that is an unknown in the market?

>>17458806
check sanda tank out, basically a tank solo but for 17 bucks, its pretty great for that price

Maybe a man on the fucking moon or a Tudor Pelagos 39. Maybe even a Grand Seiko diver, something with an adjustable bracelet would be nice

>>17459221
>>17459222
Yeah, figured as much. Gonna probably go with sinn, damasko or longines as my first "proper" watch.

>>17459221
I wonder if my Tissot will still be able to be serviced with stuff like replacement dials and crowns in 20 years. They're mass market but I still get the feeling that they take servicing as seriously as more expensive marques in the Swatch Group

I know it's a microbrand shitter, but fuck it looks good.
Does anyone have any experience with Lorier? Talk me out of it plz

What kind of wrist gains do you guys se throughout the day?

>>17459289
About the same, but my primary watch has a butterfly clasp so I can't adjust it without removing links so I just leave it loose, occasionally my wrist puffs up enough to fill out the bracelet but usually it's resting on my wrist

>>17458919
Under a grand. This is a 40, there's a midnight blue/silver 36. I can't decide between them.

Is this the most retarded watch ''''''''''brand'''''''''' in history??

>>17459247
>I wonder if my Tissot will still be able to be serviced with stuff like replacement dials and crowns in 20 years.
Yes, large companies typically keep backlogs of parts. In some cases, they will even remanufacture parts as needed. (This is mostly the case for the higher end companies, but I have experience with Longines doing it.)

Seiko is the oddity in this regard as they do not keep anything for more than 10 years. They treat their watches as disposable.

>>17459313
Well in their defence they make so many watches that finding another watch for donor parts isn't a problem.

>>17458235
especially great with a GMT, but you can also do this with a rotating bezel

I got this one on clearance the other day and I'm liking it so far. The lume is borderline nonexistent and the bezel is kind of hard to grip but I really like the movement. Good purchase if you don't have a diver or want a cheap automatic.

>>17459289
>metal bracelets
The heat from your arm makes the metal expand, which makes the bracelet tighter
Loosening it (or taking it off for a few minutes) allows the metal to cool and shrink, which makes it looser
I'm not aware of a bracelet design that avoids this problem but maybe some materials are better for it than others

>>17459519
We both clearly said we changed holes. What metal bracelet do you think has holes? And how much heat do you think was applied to change its length significantly when steel is like 0.00001" per degree of heat added?

>>17459517
>quartz
Hard nay.

>>17459517
Nothing wrong with quarts or the overall look but I dislike moonphases. If seeing a picture of the moon on your watch makes you happy go for it.

>>17459519
>>17459523
yeah metal expansion is not how this shit works, it's your actual wrist, ever noticed how your face looks a little different in the morning or how your shoe size changes? it's the same thing, your body dimensions are not static, they change very slightly at different times of day

swiss design is to use a micro adjust to lengthen and shorten the entire bracelet, this is because swiss bracelets have next to no play in the links

japanese design is to have a little bit of play, this allows the bracelet to not dig into your skin and also eliminates the need to fiddle with the bracelet multiple times a day

"watch guys" like having something to fiddle with so the japanese design is usually seen as a defect, but it's actually a better more user friendly design if you are willing to surrender a mostly illusory sense of control

the biggest rolex stan I know personally doesn't even bother to set his watch in the morning, he just slaps it on and wears it as is (his phone tells the time)

I don't think rolexbros are that worried about how accurate their watches are

>>17459548
Rolex days have been numbered for a while, the only reason why they are still selling is for the same reason as fashion brands like LV and Gucci. Black 'people'

>>17459548

It’s a fucking fashion accessory. That’s like saying Gucci would go out of business if Luis Baton invented a new purse technology.

>>17459529
>"watch guys" like having something to fiddle with so
The fuck you say. I didn't fall into the meme of faux diver's watches with spinning bezels and nonsense speedway timers. I wear a watch because its pretty to look at, tells me the time, date, and sometimes day. Even on my F91 and F105 I don't think I've used the stopwatch or alarm more than 5 times in the last 10 years.

I do however wish they'd bring back those springy elastic metal bands. You know the ones that grab your arm hair and rip it out?

>>17459454
>Blancpain
>White bread
Why don't they just call it fucking Milquetoast?

>new Omega spiral thing will be in the Speedmaster Racing
Fuck yes. So tired of the Moonwatch meme. Fuck off already with more Moonwatch memes
The Racing is the superior watch

>>17459566
Hopefully they release it on the god tier 40mm size. love my racing.

>>17459566
They do that a lot: put their new technologies in less popular product lines. IIRC the first line to get the coaxial movement wide-spread was the DeVille.

>>17459573
>Hopefully they release it on the god tier 40mm size
Agreed. I would love a Speedmaster in 40mm like yours but that doesn't look like cheap trash.

>>17459578
To each its own, but I think it looks much better than what Omega is about to release it on.

>>17459367
>>17459536
>>17459454
Better movement than any lolex, tho

>>17459582
That thing is 44mm, so too fucking big, but looks-wise, it's great. They just need to shrink everything down 10%

>>17459566
What's so much better about it for you? I generally dislike the dual subdial design.

Any watches similar to the Tissot PRX that are also poorfag friendly

>>17459604
Personally I like the two subdials more than 3

>>17459600

>>17459638
Anon, the Tissot PRX is poorfag friendly

>>17459638
>what is the poorfag version of this poorfag watch for poorfags?
If the PRX is too much for you then you need a job, not a watch

>>17458749
This is cool.

>>17459656
Thanks. It's an ancient casio marlin like the duro. The marlin logo is casio's equivalent to a ''diver's 200m'' rating. Still need to get around to having the gaskets changed on it and replacing the movement, the date stopped changing on it, cannonly be done manually. LUckily I can still get that movement from a widely available donor watch.

>>17459651
>>17459653
I know the PRX is poorfag friendly, hence why I said "also", maybe I should have said "too"

>>17459671
How do you mean similar to the PRX? In terms of design or value?

>>17459678
In terms of value

>>17459641
fair enough

>>17459680
Well most of Tissot's catalogue is pretty good

>>17459702
Thank you

>>17459469
is that in the aqua terra? thats the only omega id ever consider buying

>>17459723
No, Speedmaster racing

love my prx. the 80 hour power reserve is neato when i swap to my diver or my chronograph mechaquartz. Its just always running

if this had another color for contrast, id might consider getting it. too much gold on the dial imho

>>17459725
Also love my PRX, went for the Quartz just because the original watch from 1978 was and I didn't really like the dial on the Powermatic models

If you cannot afford a piece of jewelry and considering making payments because 0% interest, you cannot fucking afford it you broke motherfucker. Stop spending your spare $16 a week on rimz, a playstation, watches, and other shit you don't need and can't afford. Stop finding ways to keep that anon in debt.

Got this watch from a dead relative.
Anybody know anything about Helbros watches and if they are any good or are they shit? I can date it to late 1940's. But I can not find any more info on this particular watch online.

>>17459765

>Escapement Time

>>17459332

It has a P80 movement, so I'm afraid to say it won't last that long, and it's not serviceable.

>>17459780
Convince him to do something naughty like taking 2 free samples at costco. Or pocket an extra hot sauce packets at taco bell. Not go into debt for some amazon watch.

Are old watches worth buying for daily use? Judging by my taste, I generally like vintage watches overall more than whatever is in the market now, especially below $1K. But I feel like they're destined to break down and need service constantly, they don't keep time that well, and I prefer buying on the high street in person than online.

Christopher ward makes Seiko homages now?

>>17459791
It's the quartz model

>>17459797
NTA but to be fair most people are in debt these days by design, while the cost of most luxury watches is a lot for jewellery it's not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things.

Fact is, refusing to buy a £5000 watch isn't going. to change houses on average costing £300,000 with no guarantee a mortgage will be authorised even if you have the 10% deposit cash in hand when banks prefer to give mortgages to landlords instead.

The system is rigged, credit has just been accepted as an alternative to wages keeping up with inflation. Oh and we're all likely to die in WW3 now anyway.

>>17459812
>No matter what you do with your logo you'll always be a homage watch brand with a shitty name.

I feel bad for Christopher ward. They are like some deluded 50 year old who still thinks they are going to be a music superstar.

Im sure that their watches have great finishing and value... But no one in their right mind wants to say "oh my watch, its a Christopher ward" and that will literally never change.

>>17459822

>>17459821
>most people are in debt these days by design,
>The system is rigged
Thats exactly what a dumbass would say. "well I need that new car because its safe and gets good mpg and its reliable!" so they go into debt. Do not give me that horse shit of "my old car requires too much money to repair and maintain!" because the $3000 transmission every 3 months. Don't fool yourself into thinking an $1200 car payment for life is more affordable than a $3000 repair once every 5 years. Then they put shit on credit cards and only pay the minimums enjoying that 20% interest. Then they see a fancy purse they just hafta have! Gotta go on vacation to experience cultures! time to go to brunch and drink $16 cocktails! Those people deserve to be financial slaves their entire life.

There is no "system" or "design" to get everyone into debt permanently. Its only idiots falling prey to instagram, tiktok, and other advertising bullshit because they work hard so they "deserve the finer things in life" they can't afford. Oh and its just so easy to apply for financing and pay a lot extra. If you're in debt currently for anything other than a mortgage thats completely on you for not saving, and not making enough money. I'm not saying just hop in the job cannon and get a $50,000 raise, but people just need to live within their means. Stop fooling yourself falling for the same mousetraps of "buy now" and it comes to your house in a stupid amazon box a day later. They've removed the friction of transactions so well people don't even realize they spend money. MRI and CAT scans of the brain have confirmed this. You're broke as fuck giving your money to billionaires because you're too stupid to realize you're giving away money you don't have.

>>17459843

If all you can [actually] afford is an F91W for 6 years, then rock that shit. Keep it clean, check the time, smile remembering the day you bought it. Don't see some nerds on /wt/ threads of people with their dad's rolexes and financed Pateks thinking you just need one to impress someone who doesn't own one anyway. live within your means. If you cannot afford a $1000 watch, you shouldn't buy one or finance one for 4 years.

I have $80,000 in the bank, its not a brag just giving some perspective. My mortgage has $55k left on it. I could spend $10k on a watch today and it wouldn't change what my weekend plans are. But being financially prudent, it would be moronic to stay in debt, pay an extra $3k in interest on my mortgage than to have a stupid watch that looks pretty.

>>17459832
The keeper.

>>17459846
>save money
>live a good life
>wear what you like
Yes.

>>17459843
I think you have a fairly blinkered attitude there anon, the attitude of
>Well if you choose to live your life as anything more than a robot you deserve to have no financial security
that is the rigged system that this attitude upholds. In an ideal world people would take action to demand that financial security and leisure needn't be mutually exclusive, but alas, most don't and those that do become public enemy no.1.

If people are happy to forego financial security in favour of fucking enjoying themselves after working their bollocks off working the 9-7 every day, then I get it. I don't think it's necessarily more clever to do the opposite and forego leisure in favour of solely living to provide your bank manager with a yacht so you can one day have shelter, the most basic requirement humans have, that you personally own.

Basically, I'm not rolling my eyes at Anon for considering paying for a watch in instalments in lieu of dutifully handing over the same money to businesses every month to play with as investments, or yeah paying interest to a bank for the basic need of shelter. If you, me, him weren't dumbasses we wouldn't be tolerating this situation.

Copped the 35mm PRX today in blue. The green dial on the 35mm looks pretty sick in pictures but figured the blue is a bit more lowkey. First watch in about 7 years and I only had a truly total shitter before so this is nice.

Can see it making me want to splash the cash for more expensive ones down the line, what's next bros?

>>17459863
If people are happy to participate in financial slavery, then you can't say there is a system rigged to keep them in debt.
>they work hard so they deserve to be happy!
Then they can have a moment of happiness and continue to working off that interest and that moment of happiness for hours and hours later.

The bankers already have my money, now its just a game of paying down the mortgage on paper. Thats not buying them a new yacht, in fact I'm paying less in interest than the average NPC paying for their house over 30 years.

I make sacrifices today and forego the latest gamestation, skip out on a brand new car, pass up on a Grand Seiko just for a few years to avoid paying interest on toys. I guess I'm a robot not willingly being a debt slave.

You go ahead and be that NPC agreeing to the debt terms, work your bollocks off 9-7 every day. I'll be debt free buying my shit when I can reasonably afford it retiring early and not working 10 hour days. But go ahead and tolerate your moments of happiness in exchange for years of labor. moron.

>>17459877
Ok, give me 10% of your stuff then.

>>17459874
I don't get why the 35mm has every 40mm colour except black, what's the deal with that?
>What's next bros?
Probably stick with the PRX until you can afford something very snazzy, I wouldn't really bother with the mid-range because you're not getting much more in terms of finishing, mid-rage mechanical movements are soulless mass produced throwaways so you may as well stick to quartz, much of the mid-range is microbrands who likely will not be around forever to keep your watch serviced with parts, often mid-range watches are just homages to luxury watches anyway, etc

Personally my plan is that my PRX is my main watch now forever, but one day if I can afford it then I want to get a Omega De Ville Tresor as a dress watch to wear occasionally but still main my PRX.

>>17459878
Why? I'm not a communist or very charitable. You give me 10% of your stuff since you're happy to give away 10% extra to have a few moments of happiness.

>>17459882
Because women don't want black watches

>>17459877
Yes, yes you've outsmarted everyone by not living your life throughout most of it. It's horses for courses, while we're forced to pick between financial security and leisure, I've no less respect for people who pick either choice.

>>17459889
Maybe you're right and the system is rigged to keep people in debt forever by convincing them they should "live life" by endless consumerism, enjoy it now pay for it later. Finance that pizza, put the vacation on the credit card. Finance a depreciating asset because you'll be glad when you're still working at 80 never thinking about the million dollars in interest you've paid to the lenders while they eat caviar and remind you to enjoy your life now, and pay for it later :^)

>>17459890
You honestly come across like you've got something to prove here. I'm glad you're confident in your pick, I'm just saying I understand people who go the other way and in many ways I envy them.

>>17459882
Yeah my plan is to have this watch as a bit of an everyday 'beater' so to speak. Like an above poster said I have money to drop on an expensive watch but I'd rather save that for now due to other priorities but I like the looks of some Tudors/ Omegas for sometime down the line - maybe to coincide with some life event or something to make it justifiable.

Also not sure why they never made the back dial - I don't think they have the ice blue dial in the 40mm but then I'm not sure.

I do wish they made a 37mm or something as I was surprised at how small it was at first but it looks a good fit on. I'd rather a watch a bit smaller than too big as my wrist trends towards being slimmer than the opposite.

>>17459895
>I have money to drop on an expensive watch but I'd rather save that for now due to other priorities
looooooooooooooooolllllllllllllll u have no shittttttttt

>>17459805
No. You'll try to convince yourself they're not an insane pain in the ass, but eventually you'll snap. I mean if you're an absolute couch potato and live indoors at all times maybe, but I walk everywhere, I'm pretty active, and it becomes a source of subconscious stress thinking about whether your delicate antique watch will be safe.

t. wore nothing but vintage for like 5 years, eventually snapped, purged my collection, and will only buy new watches that are reasonably rugged (still kept 1 vintage but I rarely wear it)

>>17459907
Just buy a car lol?

>>17459914
>just buy a 3 ton needy baby that sucks up an insane amount of time, attention, and money, so you can avoid having to buy a watch that doesn't suck
Nah

>>17459900
Getting married soon bro it can wait lol

>>17458211
casio duro. thoughts?

>>17459907
That's what I figured. Sucks cause I'm a young working class guy and my budget is about 500, maybe 1000 if I'm really stretching it, and I genuinely don't like the look of 99% of watches in that price range (talking about Seiko, Tissot, etc).

I like a more classical /lit/ look, but most dress watches in that budget nowadays are either extremely flashy that can only be worn with a suit, or extremely boring.
Maybe I should just keep on saving and get a truly nice watch for a higher price that can last a lifetime, and not just a temporary poorfag watch.

>>17459948
Decent for the price, really not as good as the hype suggests though.

>>17459951
not good how?

I need this watch but alas I am a poorfag

How do I make my new watch less shiny?

>>17459955
It's just not as good as people hype it up to be as, it's a decent cheap watch but it's often made out like it's punching at the weight of much more expensive watches. Just temper your expectations is all I mean.

>>17459956
You seriously can’t afford a $2k watch in 2023?

>oris's on secondhand market/grey are half the price of one from my a.d who won't negotiate
yep gonna get a cherry

>>17459956
Hope you manage it some day anon

>>17459963
Thank you my friend

>>17459949
I don't disagree with most of that but out of curiosity what are your criteria for a good watch, ignoring the budget part. Like in the new market what do you see that you like, I hope you're not going to say a reverso

>>17459956
It's like 2k lmfao ? ? ?

>>17458679
Feels good bros. Replaces the battery and regressed the seal too. The beep noises weren't working but then I realized the metal tab needs to touch the back of the case back to do the piezo noises/alarm and now it works fine.

What's a good watch that can withstand a beating and waterpeoof? Is g shock optimized for that?

>>17459989
gshock & nothing else

>>17459986
Good as new. Great job.

What do you have against Longines?

>>17460022
Nothing

>>17459948
Got mine in the mail yesterday and I concur with >>17459960 with Casio usually you get a lot of value for the price, but the price is already pretty low. The bezel looks like you can stare scratches on it and the finish leaves a lot to be desired. That being said is a nice watch if you want a cheap diver.

>>17460041
Pretty much the nicest cheap diver you can get but the Invicta pro diver might be better. The duro is pretty large though so doesn't fit everyone. Kinda crazy bill gates has it as his one watch collection because it is the definition of mediocrity

>>17459976
>I hope you're not going to say a reverso
Honestly I don't like that one, and I'm big into old rectangular watches. In that sense I could name the Cartier Tank as a watch that I really like in the "new market".

As for round watches, if I had to choose for daily wear, I like the Snowflake, the Seiko SARB, maybe a dressy Aqua Terra, maybe the Carrera, something like that. Not too dressy, not too sporty. Then there are watches like fliegers and divers which I like but I wouldn't wear most of the time. My style is similar to picrel, a lot of earthy knitwear.

>>17459874
I was gonna go with the 35 if my wrist was too small but the 40 seemed to fit fine with mine and seeing the sunburst waffle dial mademecum so I copped the blue prx. Old pic

>>17460073
Looks sweet on you anon, waddle dial is a beauty and it’s what I was listing after at first until I saw the smaller version. I ordered online so never tried the 40 but I’m curious how different the size looks in reality compared to the 35.

I might have a quick look when getting links taken out out but I saw a photo of someone with slim wrists wearing it where it looked ridiculous and it’s obviously left a mark on my subconscious lol.

>>17460052
Why don't you just get a SARB?

>>17459986
I would actually prefer it silent.

>>17459986
Looks great
>>17460226
You can make it silent through the options, better off having the ability to turn it on and off than to just have it broken.

Oh no no no the omegachuds are winning

>>17460044
>Invicta pro diver might be better
I'm a poorfag and can't afford much more than casios. I was considering an Invicta as my diver but had doubts about how relieable an automatic movement at that price point woukd be. So if I was going for quartz, I thought I might as well stay on Casio's lane. What would be the cheapest automatic diver that won't fall apart in a couple of years? I've been looking at the scuba dude Vostok, but that watch it's its own thing.
>>17460044
>it is the definition of mediocrity
In Gates' case I beleive it's more of a statement regarding how frugal his persona is. Duro gets the job done and looks the part enough, that sorta thing.

>>17460470
Well his whole thing is about how he's saving the poorest in the world now, looks a bit gauche to be doing that but reminding everyone you meet of your own extravagant wealth.

>>17459791
Why won't it last long and can't be serviced?

>>17460519
The movement has plastic parts, which means it eventually fails and is disposable. It can't be fixed, so at best you'll have to replace the entire movement.

>>17460185
I might, but I'll keep searching to see if I find something new that I like, not a big fan of buying second-hand online.

>>17460073
I like how the background matches the dial.

I'm looking for a good steel digital watch to replace my Seiko that just died.
Who is even making steel digital watches any more? Would love one with radio time.

>>17460557
Does it have to be digital or can it be ana-digi? I would suggest Casio Lineage, great watches, love mine.

>>17460560
Just digital pls

>>17460561
I think only G-shocks are both metal and have radio/solar, someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I've made £2000 buying watches from Japan and selling them here in UK. All Seikos.

It is expensive. Probably can't afford it. Does have the cool spring drive in it tho, very accurate.

>>17460699
>>17460703
They nail the dial faces so well. Classic, timeless, really subtle but pretty dials and patterns. Too bad they're so expensive and everyone will hear "seiko" and think "yeah I gave my 15 year old one of those as his first watch not knowing the difference.

so it would be no pollution to throw these right back into the ocean?!

>>17460750
>everyone will hear "seiko"
Do you think having a different name would have been a better selling point for them?
I'm sure they thought it would elevate the Seiko brand overall, and of course as a corporation they have to be selfish about their own brand name, but it probably just lowers the value of Grand Seiko. Then again, it probably makes it more well known than something like Credor by virtue of having Seiko on the name. It's interesting to think about.

>>17460882
Honestly homage watches used to be alright back when it was a novelty thing, but if your biggest selling point is making cheap watches that look like iconic expensive ones and have no original identity of your own, you should just fuck off. Tissot is a prime example of that nowadays.

>>17458273

why do some junghans watches say junghans design instead of junghans automatic(or just junghans)?
is that the cheap version like emporio armani vs giorgio armani?

Nato straps kinda suck ass huh? I got one for my Vostok and it's so tall it feels more like a toy gadget than a watch.

Lel he fell for the nato meme.

Russian watches tend to be allergic to NATO straps and swell up as a reaction. Many such cases.

Yeah I'm not sure what they could do; Acura (honda's luxury brand) is just a made up word that a marketing team came up with and its stuck. Everyone knows what a Rolex is, you flash that and everyone knows you spent thousands on it. Was it $3k or $30k, the layperson will never know. But if you show that same layperson a Seiko 5 and a Grand Seiko $15k watch, the only thing they might notice would be a different dial and a power meter sometimes.

Assuming someone with money enough but absolutely no taste would buy a Rolex, which one woukd he get? I'm talking the most basuc bitch I-have-no-criteria Rolex.

Dear sirs of /fa/, I have a question; should I ask it or wait for the next thread?

Many regards...

I never had a watch with NATO strap before so i can't really say, but i think i prefer my watches to be close to the wrist.

A matching date wheel would be extra.
