If you never had one before you really should try it.

>>17852033
What watch is that?

>>17851968
I prefer the name O-Megadrunk.

>>17851971
Flashlights; the astronauts relied on them. No need for the tachymetre to be lumed, as you're not timing distance to calculate speed. Lumed tachymetre bezels, while looking awesome, are almost illegible in the dark after the first 2 minutes.

>>17851975
Agreed, but even in those cases, why wear a watch at all? Gloves would have to cover them, or the wrist straps on the gloves would get in the way of the watch. Better to use a pocket watch in those scenarios anyway.

>>17851979
It depends on the watch. Omegas are easy to reach usually...but new Zeniths can be a pain in the ass.

>>17852006
YOU USED MY PIC!!! AWESOME!!!!! The guy in it is almost as muscular as me.

do you guys have a new watch ritual?
I always put it on my dominant hand and spend about an hour jerking off whenever I get a new watch. like "welcome to the family little bro"

>>17852071
Thanks.
>>17852076
cringe

>>17852070
Cheers Anon.

As a general comment; do you Anons know that the 0100 has been fitted to new models that cost about half of what the original cost? It's the Citizen AQ6100 range, part of 'The Citizen' range.

https://www.chrono24.com/citizen/aq6100-56a0100-t026460------744294--id28236545.htm

39mm, like mine, but different dial colours available. It's in the same price range as a Tudor now. I don't think they're in Titanium (which probably accounts for the lower price too), but they're still well designed.

>>17852079
whats your ritual then, motherfucker?

>>17852082
rapidly finger banging your mom to wind it up

>>17852082
I don't have one. I make sure the strap or bracelet fits, wind it up, and put it on.

>>17852081
That quartz costs a lot more than I expected, what the hell.

>>17852086
Sure, but it's the most accurate autonomous watch on the planet. It's one thing to be 'one of the best', and it's another to be 'the best'. The price isn't bad considering what it is. You could pay twice as much for a new Speedmaster...(and I love Speedies, don't get me wrong...)

bro this guy has a samurai sword in his room >>17850936 :lmao:

>>17852109
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>17852130
Me too. But I'm thankful everything is okay. Things could always be so much worse. Enjoy the peace and quiet, Anon.

>I should really start wearing this one again...

>>17852136
Why?

>>17852150
What camera are you using, fren? You need some help.

>>17852155
I know, I never put in the work to photograph well, and it's an old digital because I can't be bothered to use better tech.

It's okay, I know they're shit. But at least the watches are cool. What are you wearing tonight, Fren?

>>17852157

It's the first generation Citizen Cal. 0100, black dial. AQ6021-51E. I love it.

>>17852166
Honestly have no idea Anon. Hopefully it's just a battery issue and a loose crown stem or something.

>>17852168
LawyerAnon has far more expensive watches than I'll ever own, without a doubt. I can flex a very cheap watch. Here...it's less than the cost of a service at Omega.

>>17852179
fuck you faggot. go back to WUS.
they're more tolerant of 40+ year olds who have failed at having a wife and kids.

>>17852181
It's not your fault Anon. Really, it's not your fault.

>it's not your fault.

So much rage here tonight. And yet, the angry somehow neglect to post their watches.

>>17852181
You're right, though.
I was like him until I had my boys.

Now, I can't imagine calling myself a man if I were over 40 and didn't have sons.
No lie, I'd probably have killed myself. The single most important measure of a man, and I failed at at that...

But yeah, that beat up used Speedmaster is great, lmao.

>>17852186
>And yet, the angry somehow neglect to post their watches.
You didn't post anything either. Who are you samefagging as?

My friend has a GP Laureato which looks decent enough in person save for that hideous bracelet and all I could think in my mind was “Royal Oak cope”. Fuck you guys

>>17852192
>My friend has a GP Laureato which looks decent enough in person save for that hideous bracelet and all I could think in my mind was “Royal Oak cope”. Fuck you guys
Why?
You were only thinking what anyone educated in watch history would think.
Shit, it's what HE was thinking when he put it on his own wrist.

>>17852191
Am I angry?

Am I bitter?

No, I am merely an observer. There is no burden on me to reveal my horological secrets.

>>17852192
It's important to know this though. There are far more options available today than there used to be, and it's easy to get something because it is similar to what we actually want but might not be able to afford. The most important thing is to recognize when this is the case, as this will prevent a wastage of money.

GP is decent in person, but like GO, it's difficult to not see it as a cope for something else (like GO being a cope for ALS).

The great thing is that none of my watches are a cope for anything. They're just the best of what they can be.

>>17852188
I like my beat-up Speedy too Anon.

>>17852198
You have no sons. Not even daughters.
You've failed as a man.
I am reminded of how you got kicked out of this general the last time.

>>17852201
Imagine thinking a couple of used Omegays is the same as having children to carry on your genetic line.

>>17852201
It's not your fault Anon.

Try posting some watches, and join our fun conversation. You'll be accepted here, you know, just for being you. It's not your fault.

No matter what others say, I think you're cool.

>>17852205
You post some new pics too. Not years' old ones, lmao.

Also, you're over 40 and have no sons. You might as well castrate yourself.
For me, at least, I can't imagine life without my kids, I don't even know how you get up in the morning. What do you even live for?

>>17852212
>What do you even live for?
It will be fun to watch him emotionally ignore that question.

>>17852212

I know you feel alone, Anon. I know that it hurts, but it doesn't have to be this way. You can learn to trust people again; sure you have to be cautious, but there are many like you who would like to be able to trust others once again.

You are not alone, Anon. I am here.

>>17852179
(Side note fren, Im trying some film medium format) wont try it on watches but I wanted to share

>>17852230
Thanks Fren; I did take a photography class all those decades ago, but we were still using film and developing it ourselves. Today you can do astonishing things in post-production, but it's a very deep well that requires lots of learning, and I don't have the time to learn that stuff well.

Good luck with the shots though. This one was a very old shot, but I was always happy with it. It's very generic, but it captures most directly the normal experience I had when looking at this watch on my wrist.

>>17852237
I like your watch dude

>>17852237
have a pic of my old butchered Korean War a17. someone replaced the crystal and fucked up the hands but I still like it. needs a service though

>>17852242
I liek u more

Just when you thought within-spec rusty watches and bracelets weren't bad enough, Damasko goes and outdoes itself again! In the press material for their latest line of watches, they have a loose hand just sitting there. That's Damasko's in-house QC for you.

>>17852242
Thanks Fren. It's a classic, but I did sell it years ago. Good memories with that watch, but ultimately I didn't wear it much anymore after getting some others. It went to a person who thought of it as a 'grail' of his, so I'm extremely happy. Hopefully he's wearing it in good health.

>>17852245
Wow! That's a serious piece man. I don't have anything with service history at all. Maybe if you can find a trusty independent watchmaker, he can do it for you for a reasonable price.

>>17852255

He may be poor in watches but he's rich in having no friends or family. He's basically just an even shittier version of Mortadello.

>>17852255
I am so glad I got a Sinn instead of this shit.

>>17852255
How is this a mistake that a photographer can make? Did the photographer open the watch up to insert an extra hand? Even if they used photoshop to align the hands it wouldn't be possible. As expected of Damasko, not taking accountability and trying to pass the buck. Again.

>>17852303
it makes sense when you look at the large range of g shocks and their different features, you can look at the face of the watch and know all of its functions without much research, if you look at the master of g line you'll see, they have a button there most of the time but it'll serve a different purpose depending on the watch. In terms of just having it and using it, yeah, it's a little unnecessary but it looks pretty cool imo

>>17852520
Doesn't matter lol still a shittaaah

>>17852245
I love the field watch aesthetic, I can wear just about any watch I want as I have 7 inch wrists but I feel these are just a bit small, I'd kill for the same design in the 40mm range

>>17852466
If i had a lot of money and the watch i liked was quartz then i would buy it, simple as.

>>17852466

300 for a titanuim radio controlled.
Would pay 500 if it came with some super sexy dial like Seiko Presage

What's the most you'd pay for a mechanical watch?

>>17852466
I have a $2000 quartz unironically

What's up with this forum overarching drama with these two?
Like bro we get it, some guy fucked your wife and she left you for him but do you really have to stalk and harass the guy years after on some obscure hobbyist forums and milanese leather workers bulletin boards?
Accept your loss and move on, shit happens. Your wife was a whore and accept it, the guy actually did you a service.
Also you're not into watches so stop posting here or actually discuss your watches instead of screeching around like a retard.

Pic related, it's a wrist watch.

Post it please

>>17852565
If you like Casio learn to like plastic. It's so light and comfortable you forget you have it on your wrist get used to it and the steel watches are gonna start feeling wrong to you.

You might think it feels janky, chinsey or cheap, but no it doesn't a crisply molded piece of tough plastic feels like a snap on power tool rather than a chinese toy. They feel like a solid chink of the tool plastic.

>>17852502
True, they might be replicas. Then again, they might be real. You'll never know...

>>17852509
I'll disagree with you on this one. It's an extremely practical day-to-day watch if you don't care about watches. I had one for years in high school...awesome, legible, and convenient. The only reason I stopped wearing it was the rubber strap broke.

>>17852539
There isn't a limit. If I love the watch, I'll go for it for the best possible price in the best possible condition. Since I'm done buying now, it's no longer a factor.

>>17852558
My daily mechs keep a minute within a month. All you need is a trusty watchmaker to pull them into the range, knowing your wearing habits. My best wristwatch is actually my 321, even though it's not COSC cert or anything like that. It's just built well, and my watchmaker knows his shit.

For a mechanical watch to be reliable, all you need is to wear it regularly, store it consistently, and have a watchmaker pull it into spec for you. The problem can be that brands will void the warranty if they do a service and you have your personal watchmaker open up the watch after. So, the three I had serviced by Omega haven't been opened to adjust, hence they have varying degrees of accuracy compared with the ones I don't send to them. Win/lose.

>>17852578
You could save for a decade or more and get one when they're 'vintage'. These things go in cycles, and you'd be surprised at what is hot now and what won't be 15 years from now. Think about all of the collectors today who will grow old and sell their collections...who is going to buy?

>>17852620

Well isn't that a lot to ask from the user?
Who's serving who at this point? The user or the watches?

There's a beauty in a watch that needs fucking nothing from you and asks the tower what time it is in it's own from time to time.

>>17852637
is this the infamous no bat dick edition?

>>17852626
>...a lot to ask from the user?
No. It's because the modern expectation of what a mechanical watch can and can't do is unrealistic due to all the other things that have modern technology. It's like comparing a car from 1970 with one today; the one from 1970 could be fixed by anyone with an instruction manual, tools, and parts. But a modern car would require computerized diagnostics and all the other bullshit. Granted, the modern car will perform far better than the older one in every measurable way...but if we applied the expectations of what we're used to today with what was possible back then, we'd be just as annoyed.
The older generation bought a watch, had a watchmaker they would take it to regularly for servicing if it started running slow, and that's about it. Older watchmakers took into account things like which wrist the owner wears the watch on, how they store it overnight, etc. Good watchmakers still do, of course, but if you send a watch to Omega, they don't ask for that information nor do they really care. They're trying to get as many watches serviced as quickly as possible, which leads to mistakes or things not being absolutely perfect. That's why I always advocate for finding a good watchmaker that you can talk to 1:1. A good watch has potential to be a nearly perfect one, so if you have a watch with one of those ETA or Valjoux movements, it's possible to pull it into really great specs. If the watch has a movement that is designed badly or has poor components, then it's luck of the draw.
>who's serving who? The user or the watches?
It's a tool; if you want it to function well, you have to maintain it and run it according to its limits. Like adding oil periodically to your engine.
>...beauty in a watch that needs fucking nothing
Yes...that's why I own my Citizen 0100. I set it once a year, and it's always on time. A remarkable piece of engineering, if you ask me.
>>17852628
Fair enough.

>>17852641
>It's because the modern expectation of what a mechanical watch can and can't do
What about the modern expectation what A WATCH can do? My entire point was about the mechanicals being a lot less practical than the Quartz watches.
> It's like comparing a car from 1970 with one today;
That's why most people don't buy cars from the 70s. And those who do keep it in a garage for a special occasion, take them out to the track once a year and put them back under glass.

If i had several grand to blow on something i'm not gonna use I actually would enjoy having a Speedy displayed under glass, maybe i'd even wear it for a party occasionally but for the daily use Quartz wins hard. I'm no longer considering mechanicals as something i'd buy for my everyday convenience.

>>17852650
Yes, it did, but it is on the expensive side.

The movement is the Zenith 5011k, which was considered to be the most accurate movement of its type to be manufactured before the quartz crisis. Zenith used them in marine chronometers, a series of pocket watches, and also sold the movements to Ulysse Nardin as well to be used for marine chronometers. It has a huge balance, as large as the mainspring barrel, and there are multiple points of adjustment one can make to get it to precise tolerances. You can still find them on Chrono24 once in a while; there were other versions in the pocket watches (i.e. arabic instead of roman numerals, moonphase vs. no moonphase), but in the end I think mine is the best of the options. It's larger than a standard pocket watch, and quite heavy. Perfect with a 3-piece suit, if you ever wear those (I do regularly).

>>17852653
Then your point is correct; mechanicals are less practical than quartz watches. But people don't buy watches for practicality anymore; you can use a phone for that. It might be off by a second or two, but it's not egregious.

People buy mechanical watches for the emotions that are tied up with the item or the idea of rocking one. It's about beauty, aesthetics, feel, sound, and all the other things that come along with the sense of having one.

People buy vintage cars for the same reason.

>>17852652
The Citizen 0100 has an independent hour hand which you can set for any change of time, which allows the seconds not to be interrupted. Of course, the Japanese thought of that...

>>17852655
>Perfect with a 3-piece suit, if you ever wear those (I do regularly).
Could you be any more based?

I wear mine a couple times per year usually so wouldn't really splash out on this exact piece.

>>17852655

How do you respond to the allegations here? >>17852545

I'm assuming it's about you.

>>17852620
>There isn't a limit. If I love the watch, I'll go for it for the best possible price in the best possible condition.
Like that beat to shit almost destroyed Speedy from Japan without papers so you could save a few hundred bucks? Yeah sure sounds like you don't compromise bro.

>Since I'm done buying now, it's no longer a factor.
Nice excuse for not having to spend any money that you don't have. You've bought shit, absolute shit, shit that most people wouldn't be caught dead with, shit that nobody collects, and you're on here 24/7 reposting the same mundane images of your mundane watches.

You're the most pathetic person in watch collecting (if you wanna call it that, because you don't qualify with those shitters). Your existence wouldn't be as unacceptable if you didn't pretend to be some kind of big time watch collector big shot, with a few shitty undesirable-masters from Omega. That's the real offense here. You actually think you have good watches.

You're the guy pulling up in a souped up Ford Fiesta trying to impress the "idiot who bought a brand new BMW", because you totally have the same amount of power in your shitbox.

>>17852655
>But people don't buy watches for practicality anymore;

Well I do. And the fact Casio or Citizen even exist as a company today means somebody else does too.

A wristwatch is no longer essential, but it's really convenient. Frees your hand from having to hold a phone the entire time and being ablo to check the time any time without fumbling with a phone helps me be more efficient with my time, sounds suilly but that makes the difference between having the time for breakfast before work or going hungry.

>why not a smartwatch then
I don't think that the concept of a smart watch is inherently vile and sinful, the technology just isn't ready yet. They require charging every day and an awkward shake to wake up the screen. If in 20 years a smart watch can run off solar power i'm buying it but right now Quartz wins.

It all comes down to the convenience of only having to look at my wrist, no maintenance, no attention, no setting time, not a fucking worry in my life. The watch serves me, not the other way around. Oh and it looks cool too, that's a nice bonus.

>>17852664
>You're so boring you'd get friendzoned by a prostitute.
Daaaaaamn. I'd be laughing if he wasn't so sad. This guy is the textbook fedora wearing Ledditor who shits out memes in real life and wonders why he doesn't score wearing a Seamaster Chronograph, oddly shifting his weight while looking at this thin wrist pondering how it all went south.

Then he goes onto 4chan and shits up a decent thread with essays of mind numbing worthless information. This guy is so fucking uninspired, he never ever posts anything that isn't directly about the watches he owns, he doesn't even remotely know or care about any watch or manufacturer that he doesn't own, and all he owns is one watch in three different flavors. Christ almighty.

Why doesn't Poortadello just fucking kill himself? Does a guy like that not know what he is, how pointless he is? Is he drinking himself into a bottle every night?

>>17852668
>You're the guy pulling up in a souped up Ford Fiesta trying to impress the "idiot who bought a brand new BMW", because you totally have the same amount of power in your shitbox.
Nah, he's not the type to soup up his car. He'd be the guy who would talk about his used Corolla like
>This is a pretty rare color. They called it titanium silver. It was different from their regular sky silver. They only made these for two model years before going back to their previous shade of silver....getting touchup paint to cover up the rust spots is a real bastard, I had to have some custom blended.

>>17852671
>Is he drinking himself into a bottle every night?
Up until today he was called Omegadrunk and he didn't get that nickname for nothing.

>>17852675
Yeah, you got me there. The only person I've ever known who is actually too fucking boring to buy a hot hatchback. Jesus.

>>17852656
Nah, just traditional. Then again, my clients seem to appreciate it, so it all works out. As for the watch, it all started as a simple question: what do you want in a pocket watch? For me, I wanted above all else accuracy, so I did a google search way back to find out what was considered the most accurate pocket watch to be manufactured. The Zenith came up. After finding the variations, I settled on getting the moonphase with roman numerals, but that meant waiting until one showed up at the price I was willing to go for in the condition that was fine with me. In some ways, the Citizen 0100 came up from the same concern; what if I wanted the most accurate wristwatch?

You can get awesome railroad-grade pocket watches for a fraction of the price: Illinois, Waltham, Ball (far more expensive due to the modern relation), and Hamilton all produce ones that can be pulled into very good tolerances by any competent watchmaker, and will always go well with a 3-piece. Search for a Hamilton 992...it's a great one to start with. There are multiple dial configurations, different movement variations, etc., but like all vintage watches, you have to do some research and know your shit before buying. I have a Waltham with a Vanguard movement but in side-winder configuration...apparently, it was the type of watch 'only a gentleman could afford' in 1909. Accurate, but lower power reserve and definitely far less resistant to positional variance.

>>17852664
Look closer.

>>17852666
I have no idea, but nice digits.

>>17852668
I saved thousands on that Speedy from Japan...and the great thing is that I don't need to find space for the red 'leatherette' box that the older ones came in which shreds by looking at it. Why waste money?

>>17852670
Agreed about modern usage of a practical watch, for sure. I also don't prefer smartwatches due to the charging issues. I can therefore recommend the Citizen 0100 if you want one that is no fuss.

>>17852678
>I saved thousands on that Speedy from Japan

No, you burned thousands buying it because it has no resale value without papers. You've never ever sold a watch have you? Nobody, nobody fucking buys DESIRABLE watches without papers. Your shit isn't desirable. Your semi desirable watch, your one and only, is the beat up Speedy, but it's beat to shit. It's on the lowest end of naked watches, and nobody will buy it because nobody will trust you. You can sell it to a dealer for about half of what you paid - back then, not half of what it's going for right now. Believe you me. I've been there but I didn't buy that kind of shit at those prices, when I made my mistakes they were small. But you? Holy fuck. I couldn't move your collection to watch dealers I know personally. No way they would buy that shit without tearing me a new asshole.

>>17852678
>and the great thing is that I don't need to find space for the red 'leatherette' box that the older ones came in which shreds by looking at it.

This is like saying it's great when the roof blows off your house because now you always get fresh air without having to open any windows. How much cope is there in your life?

>>17852678
>I can therefore recommend the Citizen 0100 if you want one that is no fuss.

A sexy watch, but I would prefer something with day and date instead, i work an irregular schedule and often get confused what day it is, a watch really helps. As for the exceptional accuracy, well the radio control makes up for that alright.

Casio Lineage and some Citizen Attesa are exactly what i need from a watch, and I like the narrow case on the 170 Lineage better. Just ordered it from Japan.

>>17852680

Why is platinum such an uncommon PM to use in watches? It's much more durable than gold.

>>17852711
Stainless steel is more durable than platinum

Someone in this thread really doesn't like watches, and probably people as well.

>>17852711
It's expensive, it's not as popular because it looks very similar to white gold and, if I remember correctly, it's harder to work with.

>>17852684
I know it's getting better, still not quite there. It's big, fat, looks heavy and unbalanced and still requires me to care about it's battery.

This is hell, we are nothing but charging slaves to the uncaring machines tasked with bringing the power cord until we die.

A watch I ordered is 39mm wide, 8mm thin, weights 70g including the titanium bracelet, and it's going to run autonomously until it's dead. It even sets time for itself with atomic clock signal.

>>17852708

India is a hotbed for "frankenwatches", meaning watches that are cheaply cobbled together from other old junk watches. They're worthless. Never buy a watch from India.

>>17852721

Oh i'm an aerospace engineering master, thanks for asking.

people buy and wear gold watches because gold has an air of conservative traditionalism. at the risk of sounding like one of "those people", platinum is like the precious metal version of new money.

Anything below Jacob Co astronomia is a shitter

>>17852729
>the fenix 7 weights less than your example,
Not bad, but consider that a fenix is 67g just on top of your wrist, the watch i posted is 70g all around your wrist, the top isn't heavier than the bottom o it wouldn't wanna roll, also 42*42*14 is still too big and too thick.

I'm sure the smart watches have a bright future, especially when the solid state battery finally becomes a thing, but right now that watch i posted is exactly what i want.

>>17852740
42 x 14 is the same dimensions as the current gen Omega seamaster. By your logic the seamaster are too big as well, cool got it.

>>17852733
Fuck no
Just get a Rolex, literally a single Rolex will do

>>17852742
>By your logic the seamaster are too big as well,
It's a HUGE fucking watch.

Everybody complains about the modern omegas being too fat, it may be the reason why Rolex pulled up so far ahead of them in popularity, they used to be peers, omega may even have been considered classier than Rolex until they went coaxial and started making fat watches.

Pic is the ideal comfortable and good looking fit.

is the coax the reason the omegas are so fat? I love my PO but damn it's a thick boy..

>>17852788
>is the coax the reason the omegas are so fat?
Actually no. Most of Omega's movements are only a fraction of a millimeter thicker than their Rolex counterparts.

A lot of their thickness comes from using display casebacks and domed crystals, but the rest of it is that they simply just make thicker watches.

>>17852519
I'm thinking the hand of the subdial at 9 detached because the watch is Chinese shit so the photographer shopped it back in place during editing but forgot to remove the loose one somehow.

It's supposed to be tight enough it wouldn't roll over your wrist or slide past the bump but just loose enough your wrist isn't sweating underneath.

Not loose to the point of it rolling over of course, but loose enough that one can wear one's watch forward of the bump without any problems.

For once, I didn't wear my HOMOS or Credor while going outside and taking pics, and you went ahead and tried to make me feel bad because my watch os a three digit watch, and assuming that I'm skinny because my hands aren't american sized (I'm a handmodel anyway). But again, by explaining myself, I've given you what you want and now you will reply with the usual cherry picking and the "you mad" variations.
And you know what? I am mad right now, but in 5 minutes, I will be calm, but you will still be poor fags on 4chan /fa/ of all places, trying to make yourselves feel better by making others feel bad.
I later ate Kuroge Wagyu Beef btw.

That wagyu looks great, fuck you for making me hungry. You probably shouldn't go out in public without something like picrel to be honest.

It really was, I hate myself for saying this but it's just worth it. It was 150€ (170$) but worth every penny. Still can't believe I'm saying it but it is one of those hyoe-shit things on the internet that is not overrated.

Which one?
