/fa/ - Fashion

>Orient bad
>why
>because... they just are, okay?!

>>17880008
weird complaint but I can tell you exactly why people developed negative attitudes about orient:

1. the downmarket marketing, specifically the "MSRP $4900 special just for you price $199 ORDER NOW!!" which makes the whole brand seem skeezy and aimed at poor losers

2. too many open heart watches (also a design feature aimed at poor losers)

that's pretty much it, most of their stuff is fugly too so that doesn't help but that's pretty subjective whereas the first two are objectively a problem

Is this better than the cooper? Which is worth getting considering I already own a khaki field automatic

>>17880061
What cooper? The mini cooper?

>>17880061
Do you mean the murph?

>>17880061
I think the day and date are poorly integrated into the dial.

>>17880061
Khaki king auto IS the Cooper tho

>>17880062
>>17880064
This one here boys

>>17880081
i am vomit

>>17880081
Why can't they just make daydates in 36-38mm cases? Theyr 40mm+ daydates have so much empty space it looks weird.

>>17880081
yes the field is better but thats not saying much

F91W or F105W for outfit:
navy wash jeans, gray short-sleeve henley, dark navy windbreaker with tan/white stripe, and white/green adidas superstars.

>>17880082
Its not bad in person. Feels great on the wrist and sits nicely. Is it the larger numbers that throw you off?

>>17880084
You think it looks empty? I thinks its almost a bit too crowded

>>17880085
Better alternative? Im open to suggestions

>>17880088
F105w the blue will match nicely

>>17880089
I don't quite understand what are you looking for since you already own khaki field. In that price point i would look at Baltic.

>>17880061
Let me guess... You need more?

For relaxing time, make it Casio time.

>>17880089
The khaki king and pilot daydate dials are both badly balanced to compensate for the day windows, but in different ways. The pilot is crowded up everywhere except the top with the flieger B dial numerals and at the top the day window is alone in a sterile field. The khaki king is almost the opposite, where the top is so crowded the daydate window literally cuts the numerals off, but around the middle looks a little empty and out of place. The bottom would have a bunch of empty space too if they didn't take it up with the name of the watch. Of the two I prefer the king because it's a more wearable size and much less loud looking.

I think I slightly prefer the jazzmaster daydate to both of them, but it suffers most of all from enormous empty real estate on the dial. It's a big flat 40mm watch with nothing in it but the day and date windows. Like I said, if it was smaller it would look less sterile.

what are some cheap dog shit non runner watches on ebay I could buy en masse to practice watch repair on

>>17880097
I really like hamiltons and wanted another watch. Im not aware of other brands around the same price point that look as good so I decided to go with old reliable

800$ for a daily driver smartwatch makes more sense than 99% of dumb watches

but do tell, why do you own your pricy male jewelry?

You reckon 550 is a fine price for one of these or still too much for what one is getting?

>>17880248

Okay anon, you can be honest: how much did Invicta pay you to make their watches look good?

>>17880248
650 is too much but 550 is alright. 500 is what it should be.

>>17880240
Sorry pal but after running the smartwatch for just over 4 years now I'm making the upgrade to a proper watch
Even those gen 4/5 Fossil watches don't cut it anymore if you're trying to not get a block watch

>>17880248
Honestly Seiko has some of the best dials in their price range. The only issue is that the brand itself "Seiko" has negative value. They really need to segment their products better and use different brand names.

as a seaman the slim turtle is literally the perfect watch, what more could you need from a diver

>>17880296

I agree in the >1000 Euro range, but for 500 or 600 bucks I think the Seiko branding is totally fine still, no?

>>17880343
No one in the world who doesn't read Hodinkee or whatever the fuck thinks any Seiko costs more than $50.

>>17880310
it's because watch people don't like beautiful dress watches anymore, they're "not casual enough". they want ugly as fuck 45mm chrono divers that look like something from Aliexpress, and Omega are happy to meet their expectations
the average watch buyer is no longer a stylish guy who dresses nice and wants a vital fashion accessory, but an overweight mid life crisis man who wants a toy that lets him pretend he's James Bond and won't look out of place with his Star Wars t-shirt

>>17880344
I don't know what normalfags live where you are. But normal people nowadays only know Rolex among watch brands. And they think anything with a bracelet is Rolex. The only people in the world who knows watches to any degree are nerds and dweebs. Even rappers don't know shit aside from the fact that Patek Philippe and AP are brands, but nothing beyond that.

>>17880276
>>17880344
no one in this world who doesn't read Hodinkee will ever notice and read the lettering on your watch, much less recognize the brand. shocking as it may seem, most normies don't even know Seiko
the brandfagging in this hobby is so fucking stupid

>>17880356
Normal people know Casio, and think every Casio is an F-91w.
Normal people know Seiko, and think all Seikos cost 100 dollars and under, being the "Casio for adults".
Obviously, normal people know Rolex, but have no idea what they cost, apart from "expensive".

Beyond that, you might have some normies who know Cartier, albeit only as a jewelry brand. In the US, a ton of people know TAG Heuer, because it's sold in the mall department store next to the Seikos.

Thoughts? I'm considering one. Maybe blue though.

>>17880386

For about 5 thousand bucks if you're finding gripes it's probably best to move on.

What are some nice dials for little money?

>>17880227
thats pretty cool why didnt they just use lume for the numerals here? would be cool to see the dial light up

>>17880397
What you posted. Pretty much everyone recommends them for nice dials at a cheap price.

>>17880397
Seiko is the king of great dial at low prices. I do think a few Baltic look nice as well.

>>17880386
>42mm x 12mm
Decently thin for a world timer (Omega, take notes) but at 42mm it's too big to be elegant, while 50m WR is to fragile for a sports watch.

It also has a pretty pathetic 38h PR.

The only Frederique Constant worth buying is the one with the silicon balance (Monolith, I think it was called) but that was only made in limited numbers and may be discontinued entirely.

>>17880402
the dressy one looks nice. not sure about the movement though

>>17880321
I fucking hate Omega and their fucking marketing choice.

>but do tell, why do you own your pricy male jewelry?

I like watches for the same reason I like cars and guitars- they’re neat. I don’t “flex”- I’m a married man in my 30’s who is not a financebro (I do work in finance as a data scientist but the culture is different) or a lawyer so it doesn’t benefit me to “flex”

I grew up poor and now have a considerable surplus of money, I just buy shit that makes me happy

Dunno why but I really like the new Breitling Avenger. I might buy one for my next birthday what do you guys think of it?

>>17880472
Meh. Breitling's lineup is strange. There's so much overlap. For example, what's the difference between the SuperOcean and the Avenger? They're both 300m divers with ETA 2824 movements. Slightly different dials and bezels?

>>17880472
I don't know why but I have yet to find a single Breitling that doesn't repulse me from a mere glance.

half the appeal of breitlings are being shiny on a metal bracelet, always go with the bracelet
if you go breitling you have to go chronograph, maybe
also they have dual sided ar coating no? good for a while until it gets scratched I guess
also, nu-breitling has THE most cucked "boxes", literal ali tier
maybe even worse than invicta boxes
you expect me to pay 6k for this?! THIS?!
I think prices have gone up too much is what I think and that's even worse than breitling because everyone gets shuffled to rolex

TPG (Anthony Farrer) has been arrested by the FBI. He's fucked for good now. The feds want him for wire fraud in the amount of 3 million USD, and some other shit too, possibly fraudulent conveyance.

>>17880481
Breitling has too many models. The Superocean is supposed to be their real dive watch line though. Avenger and others are just their cheap entry level shit for newcomers to get into the brand.

Having said that, word of advice: the only Breitlings you should buy are two

>>17880524
No fakes. What he did is a ponzi scheme where he took clients watches on consignment but instead of notifying them about the sale and paying out, he used that money to buy sports cars and gamble in Vegas. Until eventually push came to shove and he was down a few million. I can't say if he said 3 million or 5 million, but the charges are for 3 million if I remember correctly.

>>17880520
Wat? He pretended to sell expensive watches for his clients but just pocketed their money. Everything from Datejusts to RMs

No idea why people are willing to give their watches to this guy or others like him like that Russian Jew or Cubans. It’s like giving your watches to Logan Paul. There are places that will just give you cash for your watches.

>>17880531
At the top of his game the guy could have become a multi millionaire purely by doing watch dealer vlogs on Youtube. Add to that his increasing business contacts, doing all kinds of business with the big grey market dealers and attracting big money clients. Basically he had found a loop hole in the grey market during Covid where he was basically a Youtube watch dealer streaming his life, but actually being an interesting personality (unlike the other morons like Roman Sharf).

He brought this on himself, if he had stayed the course he would be huge now, but it went to his head and he started drinking and doing drugs again.

>>17880535
>like that Russian Jew
Yeah, I wouldn't consign a fucking broom with that guy. I have no idea why anyone would trust him. He and his employees come across as shady, untrustworthy bullies/scammers and I think their business is only semi legal at this point.

>>17880537
Yea his YouTube income was 250k/month, no idea how he managed to blow through so much money.

>>17880539
>no idea how he managed to blow through so much money.
Cocaine and Vegas, basically. I know the cost of a luxury lifestyle with sports cars and he couldn't possibly have spent it all on that. Gambling though. And gambling on coke. That shit will clean out millions in a matter of months if you get in deep.

Man I love the design of this watch but

>52mm

fucking WHY
what's with Seiko making their watches so huge when japanese people tend to be smaller?

>>17880528
It was 5 million altogether, probably much more in reality. Cocaine, that penthouse, cars, fancy restaurants, Vegas, and of course all the watches be swindled. While the prices were going up he could afford to promise big gains on watches, once the market cooled it was over. Robbing Peter to pay Paul can only work so long. I was monitoring the drama on reddit a bit when it was happening, it was laughable, he was so deep that he really couldn't help himself, scamming until the very end.

It’s been about weeks since my Seiko GMT came in so I’ll post some thoughts on it. Also full disclosure I bought it on sale for $230 so make of that what you will.

Style and wear wise it’s basically a SKX. It’s a little thicker and heavier, but it wears basically the same. Although the weight does make it feel a bit like a wrecking ball if the bracket is too loose. Style wise it’s again the same with the biggest departures being the cyclops complication, 24 hour bezel, and different color choices. I know a lot of people don’t like a cyclops complication, but I think it’s a fun change to be honest. The dual color 24 hour bezel is a nice touch and it has a neat effect where it really pops when it catches the light.

The movement is everything you can expect from a sub $500 Seiko. It runs just fine, and it’s a GMT. Don’t know how much more you can ask for at that price.

Biggest nitpicks are the crystal being hardlex and the bracelet still feeling a bit on the cheap side. But they’re really not make or break issues for me.

Overall it just feels like a SKX updated to be a GMT. I’ve read at $475 it’s a great buy- being that there aren’t any other sub $500 GMTs- but unless you really want a GMT I think there are better sub $500 options. But if you can get it on sale for under $400 I think it’s a lot more competitive, and at under $300 it feels like a steal.

>>17880580
Chaykin is just the Adam Sandler character from "Uncut Gems", he's literally got the furby pendant of watches, it's amazing

>>17880619
Thanks for the impressions anon, pretty much what I expected. Maybe I'll get it on offer for 350€

I have watched countless youtubers creaming themselves over this fake omega moonwatch and just can't understand why would someone buy it.

>>17880646
>I want the Omega batcock
>I can't afford the Omega batcock

>>17880649
Nobody wants it because of the look. People want omega, they want the brand, the movement and the history and this chinese fake have none of those.

>>17880619
The crystal isn't saphire?
Riperinos

>>17880504
I’m uncertain, everything I can find on this watch is it’s a manual wind chronograph from sometime between the 40-60s

>Nobody wants it because of the look

I want it ONLY for the look.

I don't care about the Omega brand, I find the moonwatch marketing cringe and I don't care about the movement. I just love the 3D dial. But no cheaper watch has that.

>>17880659
All Seiko needs to do is ditch the HardLex, improve their bracelets and tighten the movement accuracies.

>>17880686
Nice kot. The watch somehow looks too boxy and bulky though.

desu swiss watch pricing should be cut in half for goyslop like rawlex and omega
swiss hautefags can cost 30k or whatever I don't care
goyslop should be cheaper, 1/3rd would be good, extreme complications and precious metalfags can be 5x the cost sure

>>17880723
>prices for things I want should be in line with what I can personally afford

>>17880727
unironically yes

>>17880727

but still unreasonable
I predict mass swiss ceo an heros in the coming decades ones chinks copy paste 1:1 designs with the same tooling as in house rawlex has

I've been wanting to buy the GayShock 9400 Rangeman for some time. I have no particular use for it. The altimeter/barometer is nice because I go to the mountains a lot and it would be great to know the relative altitude of the places I go. But it's not really a serious use. I already have a GayShock.
What would you recommend in that price range (<300)? It can be another gshock or another watch.
I'm open to any idea. I guess it would have to be kind of a beater (not necessarily gshock tier tho) since I'm not a very careful person. I thought about the ocean anus too.

>>17880742

Interesting. Thanks.

Is this still correct?

>>17880596
Yeah sorry that's automatically what I mean when I write Navitimer.

>>17880758
Sort of, but too many brands make watches that sit across too many categories.

For example, Credor makes the incredible Eichi II, but the vast majority of what they make is mall-tier garbage.
Cartier makes both the Mystere and the steel, quartz Tank.

>>17880758
I will never understand why Rolex is in the high end luxury territory.
All the old secretaries in the lawfirms are wearing them. None of the partners and associates wear rolex. For me, Rolex is like the nouveau-rich watch.

>>17880790
That's only been the last few years and the hype is dying back down already.

Rolex will go back to what it's always been: the Casio for rich people. To wit, a watch for rich people who don't care about watches.

>>17880721
yeah it's annoying. they have probably the best designs and nicest dials in the sub 500$ price range on average, if they paid 1$ more per watch for the sapphire and like 5$ for less shitty bracelets they would dominate all competition

I've never gone into an AD before but I really want to buy a watch so I'm looking for advice. If I walk in the door and plant a big smooch on the first salesperson that talks to me, is that coming on too strong or do I have to romance them a little and read signals first? Should I bring them chocolate or something?

>>17880790
They're one of very few watch companies left today that manufacture every component and all materials bespoke for their watches.

>>17880839
depends, for most watches you can just talk to them. for rolex though, you'll have to get on your knees and tell them you're their dirty little bitch, then lick their shoes clean while they wonder if you're worthy of being put on a 2 year waitlist for the new oyster (trans flag edition)

>>17880862
you also have to give them your wife's phone number

>>17880758
I feel like if you're 30 years old and you don't exclusively shop in Luxury or above, you probably shouldn't be into watches.

>>17880622
Waiting for it to go on sale with the holiday season is about to happen is a good call. To be clear, I do really like this watch, I just think it’s a better buy at a lower price point if you’re willing to wait.

>>17880630
I always forget about aliexpress stuff, so fair. But aren’t they mostly just modified movements? What’s their quality really like?

The deiscion to not have a sapphire is really odd, especially for when they sprung for an exhibition case back. I don’t mind the bracelets as much though.

>>17880885
Meant to include a pic of the exhibition caseback. Which seems like kind of a waste with a bracelet. You never really get a good view of it.

>>17880885
>The deiscion to not have a sapphire is really odd
Not really, Hardlex (a.k.a mineral glass, a.k.a. just fucking tempered glass) is still much, much cheaper than sapphire and only the most autistic among us actually care. When you're making millions of watches per year, saving even just a couple pennies per unit adds up to real savings.

>>17880887
This is not the movement you would want to look at.

>>17880296
I like this but already have a 6R35 Alpinist, I don’t see the need to pay even more for another 6R35.

At these prices? Lol. I didn't even buy one when it was $2k because it was "only a Breitling" and a Rolex cost $4-5k at the time. Paying this much for the same shit is insane.

>>17880944
Not for nothing, people who grow up poor, even when they get good jobs, often still end up having money issues because they never learned good financial habits from their parents.

It's not that different from kids who grow up eating junk food ending up as unhealthy adults because they never learned to eat a balanced diet.

Especially odd since they make it themselves. The bracelets you can always easily switch for a strap. You could say the same for the crystal but nobody does that in practice, too much of a hassle.

>>17880891

At the expense of customer satisfaction and reputation. In current year there really is no excuse to be using mineral crystals anymore, i would just ban them.

Funny thing is thats their older nicer box. Now they have partnered with Kelly Slater and the boxes are made out of recycled sea weed. I got the super ocean heritage and was shocked that my citizen orca had better packaging (by a mile) also no hats/gifts nothing and this was in a boutique.

this isn't exactly true, they source some of their components like springs, levers, gears, their crystals. It is mostly in-house for everything but not 100%, which is understandable because they are mass produced watches. If you want something completely "bespoke" you are going to easily spend 6 figures on a watch.

Because Rolex makes good watches and doesn't waste their time and money and everyone else's time and money making a million superfluous models that don't meaningfully expand their lineup. They don't make and later discontinue a dozen shitty dive watches with questionable specs, they just make one good one with good specs with a few color and material options. That's it.

>>17881056
I put my watches on leather straps for my wife when she wants to wear them.

>>17881069
Whereas Seiko researched everything by themselves, down to the very last detail. For example they developed their own polishing paste for the Sallaz machines, they maintain and service them as well. Printing (they spawned Epson), quartz crystals, balance springs, jewels, the lot.
To be fair to Rolex they do have their own foundry which is admirable.

Watches with undecorated ubiquitous movements with nothing special about them should just have steel case backs and save the mm or so of thickness.

>>17881010
the quartz version is respectable the mechanical a bit less, with uts non-serviceable disposable movements and imo ugly waffle dial.
the digital is an utter atrocity. basic ass digital module lazily slapped in, I'm sure they could've easily fit solar and atomic timekeeping in there but didn't. and it costs as much (or maybe more, not sure) as the quartz version.

>>17880716
The Speedy is a great watch, and the 861/321 movements are solidly built and reliable. Save up and get one grey market; right now Japan has bare-bones 1861s for around 4.5k. My Speedies have given me an absurd amount of pleasure over the years...I never get tired of them.

Get one, and enjoy the detail of the dial.

First there was Mortadello (currently MIA)
Then there came Poortadello (you).
While you were gone, /wt/ has Whoretadello, who is simultaneously the most depressing and also the most entertaining of the three.

>>17881198
Is that the same ana-digi movement from the Breitling Aerospace?

>>17881202
yup, the exact same movement. it's weird to find them for buttons on Ashford, they were released in the late 2000's and were pretty expensive back then. there's a 33mm unisex version and a 40mm large version.
thought about buying them up and cannibalizing them for parts on ebay, but I couldn't find it in myself.

>>17881208
That's pretty cool. I used to have an early gen Aerospace and I found it to be a really useful movement once you got used to how it functioned. Took some practice, though.

Mine was older, a ref. 80360. It still said "Navitimer" on the dial. Unfortunately it ate batteries. Something was wrong with it. It was also two-tone and I got sick of the look.
I tried out the newer Aerospace Evos but they all became fuck-huge.

The older ones were so elegant. 40mm x 9mm. Featherlight.

>>17881241
>those posters
Which ones?

I'm currently watch-free since I've recently liquidated my collection. It was mostly Seikos and Casios of various stripes. Nothing worth mentioning or keeping.

I've decided that I want to limit myself to two pieces and leave it at that.

I've been thinking about picking up the following:
Dress watch: Cartier Santos-Dumont
Sports watch: Tudor Black Bay 54

This still leaves me some room to upgrade each of them in the future.

Any thoughts?

>>17881256
That's a solid 2-watch collection since both pieces are versatile and one can easily be worn full time when the other goes in for a service. I would just replace the Tudor with a proper no-date Sub down the line, or go straight for the Sub now and get the Cartier later.

>>17881256
>This still leaves me some room to upgrade each of them in the future.

I don't know what your budget is or your wrist size. (I'm assuming wristlet since you picked the BB54)
The dress watch could easily be upgraded to a precious metal watch down the line.The sports watch could literally be upgraded in all sorts of directions.

Good plan, though.

Why is Credor ranked above GS?

>>17881261
>I would just replace the Tudor with a proper no-date Sub down the line, or go straight for the Sub now and get the Cartier later.

I'm not actually a fan of the current Subs. They are way too big for me. If anything, I'd get an Explorer 36 from the current lineup, but I don't really love that one. I like the Tudor a lot, actually. That's the one that would be harder to upgrade. I'll see what the watchmakers come out with in the future.

I mean, if I had unlimited money, I'd probably get the Santos-Dumont in solid gold and that Bathyscaphe that one of the anons here has.

>>17881266
Yeah, my wrist is Tee Mosso-sized.

>>17881275
>Why is Credor ranked above GS?
Because Westerners only know Credor from their Masterpiece collection line (which is, admittedly, incredible) and assume that everything Credor makes is that level of quality.

Everything else they make is fashion-watch tier shit that would be more in the Entry-level Luxury or Luxury areas.

>>17881278
Your wrists are too small for even the 14060? I guess the BB54 is the way to go, then.

Just so you know, this is the true chart.

>>17881283
>Your wrists are too small for even the 14060? I guess the BB54 is the way to go, then.
I've never tried one of the older Subs so I can't say how it would fit. From the numbers, it might. Prices on them still seem a little silly right now.

>>17881284
Tissot Mido and Certina are the exact same entry level swatch quality, they’re just focused on different markets. They should all be in Enthusiast.

>>17881286
They will only get more expensive, so see if you can find a way to try one on if you think you might be even just slightly interested.

>>17881280
Here's your "high-end luxury" watches, kek

>>17881284
This is so true in regards to smartwatch, most of the retards I see wearing an Apple Watch are fat as fuck.

Has anyone ever seen one of these in real life? It’s the SBGA471 Soko. The dial is a bit plain (there is a subtle texture) but otherwise it checks all the boxes I’d be looking for from GS.
I also liked the SBGA415 Taisetsu but I’m worried about the gray dial getting lost in the case and bracelet.
Also, how bad are GS bracelets? They are my only reservation.

>>17881289
Good idea, honestly. I'll visit my local Tourneau. They have a bunch of older and vintage Rolexes (at idiotic prices, but still).
Better to try it out IRL than just speculate.

I'd only ever tried the Maxi-case Sub and the current 41mm Sub and I didn't like them. Never mind the size, I just didn't like the look. Too big, too blocky.

>>17881293
>Also, how bad are GS bracelets?
Absolutely hideous. I returned mine beacuse of its bracelete.

>>17881293
>Also, how bad are GS bracelets? They are my only reservation.
They're not great. They're about 90s-era Omega in terms of quality, They don't get the same level of finishing as the case. It's the clasps that are bad, though. No microadjustment at all. Not even little holes to adjust with a tool. If your wrist swells in summer, your only hope is to add another link and pray that it's not too loose.

lol, 5 jewels on the dial, and 1 in the movement.

>>17881298
Last Omega boutique I went to is attached to a Swatch boutique. The same minimum wage staff works in both. Why would Omega do this to themselves. A lot of historical models that people should be lapping up should be sold out but they have tons of stock on Speedys and James Bond edition Seamasters.

I kinda want to get a Speedy 57 though, I think they look good.

>>17881324

OK, that settles it. I'd say we're all in agreement that Credor can not seriously be considered to be anything above entry-level luxury.

Sure you can.
Hublot is a funny brand in that it actually has a lot less social media presence than you'd think. Online all you ever see for them is hate, yet they sell very, very well.
Lots of Hublot owners don't post them online (or post any watches online). Rappers will, of course. If you go to, say, Monaco or the Portofino, you see them everywhere.
