Can any anons with gold watches show what they got?

Was thinking about getting the Brew Metric Gold myself but the bracelet is putting me off.

Gold plating on a bracelet is always the first thing to go and on an integrated one I'm worried in 2-3 years time it's going to be unwearable.

Weekend’s here.

how much was a vostok amphibia on amazon before the war?

>>17670566
It's a little warm out for Tuxedo...or are you drinking it?

Hey guys, poc do fit under the cuff. And no its not daytona cope. I got mine in a couple of hours plus the lovely ring! Wdyt?

Damn, Bond, did you get that from Q?

I wanted to get this watch because of Interstellar but the pictures of it in Hamilton's website was unflattering as fuck so I didn't go for it.

This looks so flattering, you make it look worth owning with this shot.

Why the fuck do big watch brands not worry about making their product shots look good?

It looks much better in person than it does in pictures. The effect is a lot more subtle. Looks less grainy. The fauxtina lume color also looks a lot less brown.

>>17670698
Some anons just don't know how to behave in a civil thread.

>>17670697
Just check on meranom for the shipping prices. They probably do but it will take 6 months. The prices vary, there are still models that go for under 100. The thing is Vostok stepped up their game in recent years and make slightly nicer watches. More appealing designs, steel bezels with inserts, sandwich dials.

remember that if you purchase a vostok, you should also donate an equal amount to ukrainian charities OR simply make sure you pay your taxes.

that way we can make sure that even if the purchase of the watch enriches a r*ssian, we can make sure another dies.

>>17670588
>look at subtle black resin coloring
>the tasteful thickness of it
>oh my god it even has a world timer

>>17670740
Isn't that that watch that's way too thick?

I haven't set the time on my Weekdater in more than three weeks now and it's still accurate to the minute. It loses around 3s a day.

>>17670746
On paper, yes. But once I put it on its not that bad, looks just about the average thickness for a sport watch.

>>17670742
Damn, you even captured the cynical feel.

Well done.

>>17670571
>how much was a vostok amphibia on amazon before the war?

The blue scuba guy Vostok Amphibia costed 90$ in Russia, now the rate changed and it's closer to 80$.

Amazon has them listed for 100$ so you are getting a fair deal.

>>17670749
15mm is nowhere near average thickness for a sports watch.

What's on your wrist this fine Friday, /wt/?

I've got my 556 that I bought when I got a promotion at my old place of work. I still love this German shitter so much I wear it constantly despite the wear and tear it has accumulated.

>>17670722
Less.
6months in 2020 for me in SEA. But in 2021, 2022 I've been lucky as it only took two weeks. Russians have been r we directing mail through some of the stans etc.,
Don't use dhl option; if it goes through russpost normal mail you won't be charged import customs tax.

Why are true travel GMTs so rare and expensive compared to office GMTs?

>>17670757
I don't even know why they should go up even because of the war

Like the Seagull, they're deadass disposable and they're barely built to last or easy to fix if you don't count replacing the acrylic glass.

That said, as a lume nut, my main gripe with Vostok is this fucker right here. It's either hard to find, or the ones that are for sale are fucking $500.

>>17670760
That’s why I said on paper meaning going by numbers it is thick, but once I put it on it is not that bad, it hides its thickness rather well.

>>17670770
Post the profile view on your wrist.

>>17670766
For prices between $2-4k it's mostly about the manufacturing costs, actually. There are far more components that go into a "true GMT" caliber, which means that producing (and finishing) those tiny little shits takes more time, effort, and capital expenditure which drives up the cost (or price) of the movement.

>>17670766
Almost nobody takes the watch functionality seriously anymore.

Everything is about the fashion divers, fashion tachimeters, fashion chronographs that nobody actually uses for shit, not even the actual divers. But when it comes to something actually useful for the people like say DAY OF THE WEEK just look at your phone lol.

Casio royale really surprised me. Not only it has global time and quick bookmark for four time zones, you can actually set whether your city uses daylight savings or not. Also a perpetual calendar. Casio might be the only brand dedicated to telling you what time it is. Everything else is about jerking off to the movement finish

>>17670769
>I don't even know why they should go up even because of the war

Logistics.

If you want something shipped to you from Russia it has to first travel on a train to Europe.

When I needed something from Japan to Russia I could still buy it, but it took a literal trip around the world from Japan to US - Germany - Finland and finally to Russia.

>>17670782
>Casio might be the only brand dedicated to telling you what time it is. Everything else is about jerking off to the movement finish

>>17670774
I still think this is Rolex's bullshit excuse to exaggerate the significance of their Caliber 3185, since it barely took Miyota a bit of alteration to come up with an affordable true GMT with the Miyota 9075.

Best part is, despite the listed accuracy of -10/+30, mine is barely gaining 5s per day to the point that it's already performing better than a Sellita SW220. I've talked to Vario's CEO and he's planning to use them on the next Empire release on August and I'm definitely picking that one up.

Hell, why bother with a Sellita SW220

ID on this one :) ?

>>17670789
Casio, Citizen, Timex and Seiko (no Grand Seiko). Maybe Junghans.

Also, i want this (pic rel), PVD and all.

>>17670766
>Why are true travel GMTs so rare and expensive compared to office GMTs?
Office GMTs are a easier to make. Quite simply, you take a day-date movement and turn the day functionality into a 24 hour hand.

A flyer GMT has a jumping hour hand that can be adjusted back and forth that also drives the date. It's a pain in the ass to make and it's a movement you can't really use anywhere else, unlike the office GMT which you can easily build from an existing day-date movement.

>>17670782
No matter what watch James Bond wears, he always has a Casio on hand to keep the rest on time.

>>17670782
Pretty much all Swiss brands at this point. Seiko may have won that race already with the Spring Drive yet somehow Citizen never gave up and managed to one up them with -/+1s per year with the Caliber 0100.

Non-Jap brands are definitely jerking off alright.

Baltic is the only micro-brand that I like.

>>17670785
My last vostoks were re-routed through Kazakhstan and then China.

>>17670808
James Bond used to wear the best he could: Submariner, Seiko Royale, Pulsar... even the quartz SMP300m of Goldeneye.

Then, the mountain-jew-jitsu kicked in full power.

>>17670810
I'm a huge fan of SG based ones personally, although I am interested with that one Microbrand with an 8bit Pepsi dial on a diver. Shame I forgot the name.

>>17670808
>Seiko may have won that race already with the Spring Drive yet

I don't get why wouldn't anybody just make another spring drive movement.

Or better even a poor drive with the second hand just making ten little steps instead of one big one. And given that the solar watches exist now the power efficiency doesn't matter anymore.

My only guess is that Seiko and Citizen are sandbagging it as to not cannibalize their own low end mechanics.

>>17670769
ok here's my story, I sold a casio duro and a invicta pro diver to buy a vostok, but autism kicked in and I ended up getting a steeldive sd1970 and now I kinda regretting doing it because I really wanted the vostok... did I do good or wrong.

both are cheap watches and I could get a vostok in the future, but I don't see myself buying/owning more than one watch.

>>17670816
to be fair, Quartz was considered luxury in the 70s.

Bill Murray had an AP Moonphase that he wore in Quick Change but opted to wear the Seiko Quartz Moon Phase in Scrooged.

>>17670820
Bulova (Citizen owned) has some very good quartz stuff, worth a look.

>>17670830
The Pulsar was worth like 10 times a Rolex Submariner, and they sold out, both Mark I and Mark II.

Casio world timer eternally blown the fuck out

Want to get my first "not a $27 used Time Expedition" watch, under $1,000, or perhaps multiple cheaper $200 to $400 watches, totaling under $1,000. Considering, so far:
>Orient Kamasu (dark red face)
>Orient Kamasu (pepsi)
>Dan Henry 1937
>Tissot PRX 40 (Champage gold)
>Orient Bambino version 2 (Champage face)

Other suggestions?

PP takin the piss with this shitter

>>17670820
>I don't get why wouldn't anybody just make another spring drive movement.
Nobody has the tech, it's a very niche thing, a bit outside the usual watchmaking tech, so no one is really interested in developing it for themselves.

>>17670740
GMT Master Pepsi cope

>>17670820
My assessment of it is that the Spring Drive's -/+15s per year is already overkill, hence why it's still in use to this day with 2 Grand Seiko models released last year still using the 9r65.

The Caliber 0100 though is far more fascinating to me though. How does an automatic watch with no battery work with an Eco-Drive? What kind of technology did Citizen use to achieve such witchcraft?

>>17670766
Not anymore, miyota made one that will be in every microshitter soon.

Pulsar looks so fucking clean.

That's a fat L tho.
The pulsar was the first smartwatch.

It was 2000+ usd in 1970 (the original solid gold version), more or less the same as a Ford Munstang. And they coudnt keep up with the demand.

>>17670846
>>17670790 here

I'm not complaining since they've been performing better than ETA and Sellita movements. That said from my conversation with microbrand CEOs, it's essentially just a test run to see how it'll go with their designs, after the first release they'd return to NH34A's since cheaper cost means higher return because the NH34 is roughly $40-50 cheaper than the Miyota 9075.

>>17670854
Was the first ever digital, and accurate to 60 seconds per year. Insane in 1970.

>>17670841
Get this JDM citizen, $400ish, sapphire, high beat, decent bracelet, comes in silver blue black or white dials.
Just a nice good looking sports watch

>>17670854
For the 1970s, that's still state of the art, it's easy for digital watches to stay on these days due to Eco-Drive/Solar Technology but back that that didn't really exist so if you wanted to maximize battery life, it makes sense to turn the display off after a certain period.

>>17670862
Yeah i was afriad that would happen, seiko putting out a cheap gmt is actually the worst thing that could happen as far as microbrands are concerned

>>17670857
Took the words right off my mouth.

Minus the crown part, never saw those shits in person but I always thought Cartier were granny watches, it doesn't make sense why guys love them.

>>17670795
Deep boi

>>17670870
Yea, it's why I've stopped scalping Zelos as well since after inquiring with the guy if he's ever going back to doing Sellita or ETA movements, he said it's just not financially viable doing so anymore now that NH and Miyota 9000 movements are much more easily accessible.

I'm assuming the only thing that would change this is if they decide to work on complications that either movements can't work with, like Moon Phases or Chronograph.

>>17670841
>Other suggestions?
They are all very different looking, wearing and featured watches.

What do you actually want?
Do you need date? Do you need day? Do you want to wear it with a suit to your friends wedding or go scating and fall on your face?

Cool look? Pragmatic look? Fancy look?

The first watch I actually wanted to buy for myself was some crazy ass looking orient with an open heart and over the top decorated dial looking like it wants to be a Harley Davidson bike. My dad told me that orient is a terrible shit brand and I listened to him, got a boring Seiko instead, still regret that decision, should have followed my heart.

Good day gentlemen

>>17670881
Right now I'm more leaning towards multiple watches totaling $1,000 than one watch close to $1,000. Specifically, one casual sporty wear diver (ex. Kamasu), one cool looking slightly casual slightly formal (ex. PRX gold), one dress (ex. Dan Henry).

>>17670879
But they aren't high beat movements though, are they? The sellita and ETA movements are notably smoother.

>>17670868

Didn't the quartz analog watched already exist back when Pulsar was released?
Pulsar was only cool as a gimmick because it showed you the digital numbers but it came at the price of having to press the button and having no day or date.

What if James Bond was captured or beaten over the head? He'd have no idea how many days it was

I have a trip to Vietnam planned later this year. Should I bring my Citizen Nighthawk or my G-Shock as a travel watch?

I would rather wear the Citizen as a do-it-all watch, but I also don't want to put a target on my back by accident with any steel sports watch.

>I'm sure some fag will bring up how it's a poor man's royal oak.

Why care? You buy a watch to impress yourself, not anybody else.

I know a guy who loves to flex his AP, RM and Vacheron collection and a short interaction with the guy had him convinced that I wanted to steal his watches. Our prior interaction was literally just me asking if he had a GS I could buy so I assume he must've projected hard.

>>17670905

>>17670885
After reading up on it, I guess you're right. I initially thought they were hi beat since I remember reading 21k bph is high beat but after reading more into it, it turns out it's a product of Seiko PR.

>>17670596
>JLC annual calendar (90s/00s versions)
What's the difference between those and the current one?
I like the tribute reverso triple cal moon, but don't want/need the other watch face on the reverse side; I'd rather a regular plain surface for engraving.

>>17670917
Because the only time I've seen people wear Cartiers or similar types, it's usually my or somebody's grandma or grand aunt.

It's the
>boyfriend watch
craze that spread among women so that they can doubly flex on other women, their one and seemingly only pastime and joy.
A man's watch emphasizes the dainty feminine wrist; makes it look more delicate. This affects the man that sees this.
When a woman sees another woman, fashionable, likely fit and pretty wearing an obviously expensive, man-sized watch she assumes that the latter's wealthy bf or husband gave her his old watch. This happened a lot where I live when the ceramic subs first came out and especially now after the 41mm.
Women who see this will seethe internally, which was the whole point of the exercise from the outset.
Before some whore seethes I was told this by a very candid boutique attendant when queried why women's sizes like 28mm etc., were unfashionable and why panerai and rolex subs etc., were being seen on women in my city.

TL;DR look up the "boyfriend watch" craze

>>17670922
>>17670922
>What's the difference between those and the current one?
They were smaller (37mm vs 40mm) and had that vintage vibe that I like.

>>17670936
Oh shit sorry, I read that as "Reverso" date.
Yes those older JLC's are in much more proportionate dimensions imo.
There's some nice Vacheron triple date moons from the 90's too that are about 37mm I think.

>>17670928
>I know my prior message came off as seethe but it's inevitable to a fault and I find it hilarious.

oh don't worry, I get you. Funnily enough the only fags that do this is like the guy I'm talking about. Absolutely insufferable with no personality hence why they sandbag that with expensive watches.

I've had better interactions from people who actually collect budget watches since not only do they tend to share the same autistic view I have in horology. They're also excellent references for great value watches to impress your relatives and friends into thinking you got them something that costs thousands when it probably was barely even $200.

>>17670932
I wish I had a gf who's interested to wear my watches.

The ones that do love to do the whole boyfriend watch thing tend to be dumb bimbos but that's what makes them great lovers. Women normally are very practical hence why they gravitate to either cheap Casios or smartwatches.

I actually hate that half the watches on the market are divers, some of them are cool except for the pointless dial that not even the actual divers use and the fact that it's a giant heavy wrist brick.

Wearing a dive watch with a cheap suit in the city shopping mall looks silly, makes me wanna ask where's your scuba gear.

The guy still makes massive sense though.

I've talked to saturation divers and none of them choose a diver over a dive computer.

and still, if they were to wear one, it'd be a Casio like the f91w, since it's only less than $20 to replace it if it does break.

>>17671000
It’s a lost battle. Divers are by far the most popular mechanical watch, pointless or not. Your comment about the suit is funny as well since virtually no one wears suits anymore.

>>17670932
My ex-girlfriend use to be curious about my watches and always wanted to learn more about watches while we were dating. She always loved to wear my Speedy Pro Moon watch even though it was way too big for her wrist. We broke up 2 weeks ago and I miss her bros.

Is there a watch you can only wear if your wife pegs you?

>>17671009
It's not about what you buy.

It's about opening a watch catalog and seeing just divers, divers, more divers on top of divers. Mechanical divers, solar divers (lol), 50m rated divers half of all watches are divers.

I know your pain all too well.
However, unless you were retarded and bought a "dressier" black watch, take solace that the more beat a pvd black watch gets, the better it'll look. They only look good pristine, or beat to shit like a military field watch or diver; it's this "one scratch" shit that looks bad.
Sinn and Damasko are the only non-ceramic, black coated watches I would ever consider but even if they resist dings they are weak to scrapes.
So yeah, fuck black coated watches.

Met my broinlaw's friend (foreigner) who owns a textile factory making baby clothes I my country. overpriced babyclothes = $$$ in the West. So the guy had money. He was wearing a Milaguss, one with the green dial.
I asked him about it and he didn't know what I was talking about until I motioned toward his wrist. I gave him a QRD on that watch's original purpose etc., he just chose it because he liked how it looked.
To each their own, I guess.
95% of people that buy luxury watches neither know, nor care.
Just want something nice looking anf expensive or they want what others are wearing (ROO, nautilus etc.).

>>17671174
It's a digital display though.

want to give my dad a birthday gift. i looked through his cheap watch collection and noticed he liked thick and busy-looking chronograph/diver watches so i thought he might want a dressier one.

frankly i just browsed through listings and picked ones i'd actually wear myself and i settled with a seiko sarx003 jdm for about 380$ online (see pic). some more on my list: visodate, prospex speedtimer, prospex turtle.

honestly i've never worn and been into watches but some of these old seikos get me going. might have to get one for myself later this year

>>17671199
>he liked thick and busy-looking chronograph/diver watches so i thought he might want a dressier one.
Sounds incorrect. Also ask, he might already have enough watches.

>>17670675
yeah that is a shitty pic. anons pic makes me feel like im in New York surrounded by twinks and cocaine, this pic makes me feel like I'm in Macy's the morning of my uncle's birthday trying to sift through all the bland shit to get him a present.

>>17670952
I used to go yard saling with my gf and we would find old boomer watches like bumper omegas for like 10 bux because they weren't running. I eventually got a few fixed up and it really got her into watches and she would wear them sometimes if the band fit her which was often because im a skinny fag. good times, were about the only times we got along.

>"Suggest a watch for me."
Less than 10k. In NJ
Type doesnt matter as long as its a very good buy
I see each watch can be customizable and if you pick the right combo you can possibly sell your watch for 5k more than you bought it for the day you receive it from the dealer
I dont care about movement, just class in the design
Im ok with dive watches and nautical/lunar theme
Definitely Bracelet unless the leather strap really looks good and will be a good investment
wrist size is 8.25-8.5 inches

I will be reading the OP links while you respond with your shitty advice that does not include a link with a price to the watch you mention which i know nothing about

I would really love a real silver or gold watch as well.
A Native American themed silver and turquoise watch with lunar phases would be the watch I would design.
I also am interested in the fabrication of pure silver gauntlets from 10 oz bars.
Probably more silver than that for the size im thinking.
I want a silver gauntlet with leather straps that cover about 60% of the forearm
Ive only seen native american silver gauntlets that cover about 15%

>>17671552
If you're buying a watch as an investment then just look at the rolexs which you probably won't be able to get because of official dealers cuckery

Anything else will lose value as soon as you buy it and walk out of the door

Would personally reccomend the sneedmaster via chrono24 or something, cheaper by 20% against the official omega store so you don't lose any value

but since its your first buy you might be iffy about buying an expensive watch online, gl on your find m8

>>17671552

>>17671592

>>17671605
No it's a Sea-Gull 1963 ""homage"".

The entirety of GR Montre brands, eg. Merkur, Pierre Paulin, are cheap Chinese homages of either other Chinese watches, particularly Sea-Gull, or Frankenstein homages (dial of one famous watch, case of another). There are no original designs.

>>17671744
Those are definitely in the category of watches you can get if you like them without overthinking it
It's not going to suck anymore that other watches in that price range and it's not like you're ever buying a real one anyway
Also normies don't know what the royal oak and nautilus are so you won't be that guy with a fake luxury watch, unlike with a rolex copy

What's with all the Pepes and soijaks?
Is /wt/ dead?

>>17671748
>Also normies don't know what the royal oak and nautilus are
The normies know these watches, they know it's the rapper's watch. So, cope.

>>17671744
>>17671748
I don't get these, why get a watch that has name of a brand on it when the watch is a repl... homage of a different brand?

Imagine building a 1:1 replica of a Ferrari and then putting the name Toyota on it!? Makes no sense.

Somebody explain the logic behind that pls.

The ultimate integrated bracelet watch is the Vacheron Constantin 222, only the Oysterquartz comes close in terms of good taste. The Nautilus and the Royal Oak always struck me as a bit goofy, you know, one watch being based on an ancient scuba and the other on a ship window.

>>17671754
for me it was just that I like the look of the AP case and it doesn’t feel as scummy as getting a fake cause the brand name is clearly there

>>17671754
That way it doesn't look like you're trying to trick people into thinking you have a real one, you're just disregarding the intellectual property of a luxury product with a 95% profit margin

>>17671754

>>17671770
It's a channel specifically for redditors who bought a 42 place watch box off Amazon after buying their first Seiko and are sprinting to try and finish their "collection" so they can post it to reddit

so the poorfag guide is called "30 watches under $300", but i noticed that many of the watches are even cheaper than $100, or some even below $50.
so is it actually ok for a poorfag like me to walk around with a $50 watch? or will people tell instantly and think/know that im poor?

>>17671787
no one will care

>>17671787
As a fellow poorfag, I can assure you that real millionaires don't wear nice watches. Just the other day I was wearing my usual assortment of H&M and uniqlo and a $25 pulsar and the family from The Real Housewives of the Succession rolled up in a 1994 Geo Metro stretch limo and invited me to their yacht club. They must have thought I was one of them because real billionaires know the value of money and wear cheap things. Just goes to show you Old Money Aesthetic is the best, it helps to prove that you aren't one of those rappers who spends money in the wrong way unlike you a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

>>17671787
If you're dressed like a normal person (or even a rich person) and you're wearing a crappy watch, people will assume you simply don't care about watches.

If you're dressed like a poor person, it doesn't matter what you have on your wrist, people will think you're poor.
