I'll take the loss then.

Also bros who the hell has a 50 Phantoms with a Black bezel? Lemme buy it.

No not the grey one because that shit looks gross.

Reminder your resin strap is supposed to be loose

>>17885745
If you are talking about Spinnaker funny ghost watch, I have bad news. There is a total of 4 of them on Chrono24. Your next best bet are watch forums and if you are feeling suicidal and desperate go to leddit.

>>17885754
This is true, every resin strap I see is strangling the dudes wrist

>>17885757
Nah, Le Leddit also has the normies expecting an NH38 to warrant $1.2k USD.

I genuinely hate Spinnaker for not contending with the three shill biddings that were going on within 24 hours of the watch's fucking release. They had the best position to disprove the 3 auctions didnt have their watches yet but didn't do shit.

>>17885771
If it makes it any better there is going to be a blue one that's not limited. Prices on the Gray and Black ones are a joke tho, people are retarded.

>5k for black dial

Tell me the truth /wt/, is there a good reason to get this over something like a modern Explorer II which can now be had a grand below MSRP? Still at $9k I can just wait 4 months on a GMT, or 12 months for a Batman which is only a grand more. The only people who buys this Rolex are people who truly love the Explorer II because it's one of the few that loses its value.

I am once again here to shill Glycine as the number ones brand under 1k, especially for diver style watches. Compared to Citizen, Seiko, whatever else

>>17885775
216570 is 9k, new 226570 is like 12-13k on c24. Polar models at least (only relevant one for this watch)

>>17885798
I've seen a few on Chrono24 for below 9k, especially from JP vendors.

>>17885811
How does Customs know that the watch I'm wearing was a recent purchase? That being said a lot of watches from JP is also a bit sus, like from most western dealers you can expect box/papers but most JP watches doesn't come with them. I'm walking around and it's like a flea market here but with Rolexes, the experience sure is different.

>>17885777
>more precise movements
Let's see here:
Citizen has the Eco-Drive Caliber 0100. Literally the most accurate quartz movement at +- 1 second annual that also is solar-powered.

Next up is Eco-Drive Calibre A060 that is +- 5 seconds annualy.

Regular Eco-Drive watches are factory rated for +- 15 seconds a month.

They are excellent at time keeping as well, what are you talking about?
I'm not even going to bother with Seiko because I'm too lazy, and you are clearly talking out of your ass lmao.

>>17885819
Anon was talking about le automatic handcrafted movements.

>>17885819

>>17885822

>>17885826
Anon please for the good of everyone in this thread google both Citizen Caliber 0100 and A060. They are both Solar-Quartz movements with no radio sync of any sort, lmao.

Also, can anyone recommend me a watch, please?
I want a white dial, preferably with small seconds, preferably automatic, 40 mm or smaller, less than 13 mm thin, available and under 800 USD
I saw this long jeans used for 400 but the seller is not responding, probably doesn't have the watch anymore, this could look dope with a leather strap

Here's the secret, buddy.

Visit Japan, have fun, go to Nakano, buy a bunch of Rolex or Omega, bam, done.

That said, I don't know how long this will stay a lifehack since do note, besides Japanese consumer culture (wherein they're not as speculative as Westerners are), what's enforcing this behavior is Japan's prior state of being locked in deflation. They're currently going through inflation past the point they can handle and that could possibly mean an end to affordable luxury pre-owned watches.

>>17885835
Not too bad, just getting the bucket of bolts presentable for the coming week.

>>17885853
That's a kino shot fren, drive safe.

>>17885849
Forget that idiot, my question is why do no Rolexes come with paper or boxes in Japan? Is it because these watches are usually traded by travelers looking to upgrade or are they stolen/franken/fakes? I don't mind them not having box/papers because I buy watches to keep, but I do mind if its stolen or fakes.

36mm and tripel

>>17885843
Your epic copium has no power here. Pic rel is your epic accurate better than Eco-Drive movement. Absolute kek.

>>17885830
two-tone but decent
https://www.ashford.com/tissot-t0064282203801.html

I posted this a few days ago.

- Sold all my shitters off. Currently at zero watches.
- Never want to own more than two ever again.
- Current plan is to buy picrel.
- No real plans to upgrade, but I can if I want to.

I tried a 5-digit Rolex Submariner and it was OK. It didn't knock my socks off. I liked the 5-digit GMT Master II better, but not 10k+

Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what I could replace either or both of these with?

>>17885857
No clue, I had papers when I got my GS but that's a given since GS is based in Nippon after all.

That said, I genuinely don't have a clue. I do know an Indonesian guy who made their money buying JLC and Richard Milles affordably over there and then selling them here in the US at a premium.

Gusss i"ll post it again then.

>>17885853
Are you in a drive-in strip club or what?

>>17885856
Thanks fren

>>17885865
the 2824-2 will last several lifetimes thanks to unlimited parts availability and easy servicibility
all other budget options are disposable movements that turn watches into letter weights in 15-20 years at most

>>17885867
Where do you usually sell them? Ebay?

>>17885873
That would be nice, but it's just a car wash.

>>17885876
>Where do you usually sell them? Ebay?
WUS, eBay or person-to-person.

>>17885877
I want to wash my car now

>>17885867
In the end anon, I would suggest getting the watches you want.

If you are for example buying the Tudor as a cope for a Rolex you will despise that watch. If you want it for being a Tudor you are safe.

Remember that you are going to wear them not anyone else.

A good bet is looking at Chrono24 and checking out what based Japanese are selling. They sometimes sell near mint watches for lower than you would think the market price is, and japs are based as far as taking care of the things they own.

>sloppy seconds

>sloppy seconds, Japan

>>17885849
Shit I need to go to Japan, losing weight to not be the fat American right now. Need to start learning jap so I have enough to get by if I go next summet

>>17885885
There's so many apps out there that translates for you anon. And most stores can speak decent enough English, there are literally jew own stores in Ginza/Fukuoka.

You will be fine. But then again, you can't really barter so if you can buy one without box and papers for $100 cheaper than ones with I'd just pay the extra $100 for the box/paper.

>>17885872
Classy. Wear it in good health, anon

>>17885881
>>17885881
>If you are for example buying the Tudor as a cope for a Rolex you will despise that watch. If you want it for being a Tudor you are safe.
For sure.
If Rolex still made (or ever made) a mid-size diver like the BB54, that would be one thing, but they don't. Not many brands do, yet. There's the mid-size Fifty Fathoms that some anon here has, but I don't like that it's not on a bracelet.

>>17885883
There's a difference between sloppy seconds charging you $14k for a worn Rolex Explorer II when a sloppy seconds of the same watch from Japan, IN BETTER CONDITION, only costs around $7-8k.

Do you enjoy getting financially gouged?

>>17885872
The Weekdater, Seikomatic's classier rival.

>>17885875
Yes, anon I already know your copium. The whole argument is over accuracy, not being able to service a watch with chinesium parts over the next 600 years. All those Eco-Drive movements are built to be serviceable, and long-lasting.
I don't know why you want to die on a hill protecting a shit mechanical movement from a company producing Rolex look-alikes with shit movements.

>>17885890
Thank you, anon, i love it.

Why are you engaging with this obvious bait? This isn't worth your time, chief.

You know they're wrong, you don't need to go down their level.

>>17885889
Osaka as well. Working on a career change and I hope I get to save enough for like 5 watches by 2026. Here's hoping watch consumer behaviors remain the same then. It would be a damn shame if they start emulating Americans now.

>>17885894
There are even classier versions.

>>17885883
You say that as if buying a Japanese used watch in near-mint condition for half the price is on the western market is a bad thing. Japanese people take great pride in owning things and keeping them in good condition, so it's no surprise they get so many people buying from them. Stop being a retard.

>>17885738
Yeah, I got banned for a few days for reposting Whoretadello's harlots, then got banned for a month for ban evasion. Still evading btw

As do I, but that subject is best reserved for people who do listen to it, which is an utter rarity.

It was still an identity crisis for me when the most veteran watch guy in the watch group told me nobody was as anal about watch movements as I am, which felt fucked up because what the hell is the point of a watch if it looks good but tells bad time?

Save that shit for your drinking buddies, not trolls.

>>17885864

>>17885930
Nah even with duty fees, they still tend to be a bargain. I only had to pay $450 for a $4.3k watch from what would've costed me $5.6k sold here in the US pre-owned.

Let's not forget that $5.6k is BEFORE tax. The American pre-owned market is just a massive meme.

You idiots understand that you need to literally fly to Japan and buy your watch over there right? Like I spend a month in Asia every year, I'd spend 1-2 days in Japan before flying to Thailand and spending a month there(for personal reasons). This is how you're supposed to do it.

>>17885937
You need to look into your camera settings bro, those distortions are not nice.

>>17885936
>Into EU

Okay buddy, nvm, best of luck. I don't know why your custom and duty fees are fucking insane.

I don't think the US has it bad ever since I found out how much EU bros have to deal with, It always confused me when I see people worry about that shit with $500+ Seikos and Citizen watches when they're not luxury until somebody pointed out how retarded that shit is over there.

>>17885937
>Thailand

I'm looking for real luxury watches, not fake ones. I already got a dude who sells me the fake ones he buys from Indonesia and Thailand for me to pick apart since I'm trying to make one myself.

>>17885941
Like I said, I buy from Japan then fly to Thailand.

>>17885937

Can we please get back into topic please? What I do with my life shouldn't be your concern, I kinda regret even mentioning Thailand at this point. Again if you want a bargain fly to Japan, like if you have a month off then take a few days detour to Japan and go watch shopping.

Not only is Japan a nice place to visit but they have absolute bargains on watches. Again let's get back on topic what people do with their lives shouldn't matter to you.

I was given a Cartier watch with the intention of selling it that I see going for around $5,000 online. I'm broke as fuck and in a major city in the US. What's the best way to sell a watch of this tier to get the most money in terms of the sale itself and avoiding taxes? Is it better to try local luxury watch/jewelry stores? There's even a Cartier near me. Or is it better to try to sell it online? It's also missing any documents or packaging, so is it worth it to try to get a certificate of authenticity?

>>17885950
>Can we please get back into topic please?

Do you enjoy getting gouged for $2000 for a free badge and cookies twice a year?

The only reason to pay full price for a brand new GS is for GS9 access and for badge, cookies, and a one day event a year isn't worth that extra $2k for buying the GS here in the US.

>>17885974
>these guys are getting sued by Anthony Farer
Sued by him or he sued by them?

Why do two-tones always take a massive dump price wise, like the SS version of this cost more than the TT. I really like the looks of this and its well below 10k at this point some of them are as cheap as 8k in Japan or 9k in the US with box and papers.

>>17885999

>>17885999
No, really. You either go full silver or full gold/gold plated. Scratches look uglier in two tone watches, especially if its a scratch that starts from one color all the way to the other, and they're harder to maintain or restore since if it's gold plated, the polish like Cape Cod will remove the gold color.

They're horrible to look at and involve a lot of work maintain, unless its your designated beater.

Scratches on 316L Steel can be buffed out with Cape Cod, while scratches on gold or gold plated cases look better as it ages, two-tone just doesn't have the benefit of both.

I imagine they've pre emptively taken his inventory into evidence.

If he felt the heat and gave them to a friend they'd probably only be sold in person for cash, if he's "smart" but clearly he's not very smart.

Well, if you like them, they're still available. It's an Omega Seamaster 2531.80, and the early models had tritium until the changeover around 1996 or so to superluminova. It was my daily for years, but I eventually sold it. It uses an Omega-modified 2892-A; mine was superbly accurate, but had one drawback: it wasn't the most efficient winding watch. If you spend a day at the desk, it won't wind, but if you walk a lot, you're fine. They're now considered a classic design, and will likely always be desirable.

It's great to see everyone again. What are you wearing today, Frens?

Can't drink today, I'm afraid. Much to do, and just taking a coffee break. If you're imbibing, have a sip for me, will-ya?

>>17886297
Sorry; wrong pic. Same strap though...lol God bless Omega for making their watches convenient to change straps.

You can easily change straps to all watches besides Apple.

Ah, the Tudor. Are you having a gute nacht, freund? I hope you are staying safe.

>>17886303
Most of my Omegas come from prior to the Chinese connection; that's one of the reasons I prefer vintage. But there's nothing actually wrong with Chinese parts; as long as they are made well and function correctly. It's their quality control that usually suffers though if you buy an actual Chinese watch (i.e. my poor Seagull 1963 was rather dusty when I got it).

>>17886309
Well, the difference though is that with a company like Rolex, they make it more difficult to change to different bracelets, and changing out to straps tend to make the watches look awful proportionally due to the placement of the holes. It's sad...but understandable. They want their watches to always look as they did when sold.

>>17886308
There was only one I think; this one.

>>17886312
Thanks Fren, but I actually sold it years ago when I was building my final collection. As I said, it had the downside that it wasn't efficient in winding if you were more sedentary. All of my other watches wind better, except of course the 2254.50 which uses the same movement (Omega 1120, which is the modified 2892-A).

>>17886315
not really

>>17886321
>Most of my Omegas come from prior to the Chinese connection
The Chinese connection starts in 1985 after the Swatch buyout and yours are not. So go take a break.

>>17886321
>building my final collection
Serious question.
What does it matter? You don't have any family to leave your watch collection to. Certainly not anyone who knows what it's worth.
You're going to die alone and your watches will be distributed in the Canadian version of a police auction.

>>17886338
911, yes, I'd like to report a murder...

>>17886309
Why can't you change apple straps? Most straps I see online say they work with apple watch.

>>17886324
The parts however started appearing with the co-axials, not prior. The half-link that started the discussion on WUS all those years ago was for a PO cal. 8500. I know the modern bracelets suck...everyone knows that. But my watches are not modern.

>>17886331
It's one of the best pictures of a watch I ever took, so I've kept it. Also, sentimentality. It's a very popular model, so sometimes it'll come up in discussions and a pic is required. Don't you keep old pics, Anon?

>>17886338
Serious answer: my watches bring a smile to my face. I hope your watches do the same for you, Anon! Live for today, because you cannot guarantee the 'morrow'.

>>17886346
>911, yes, I'd like to report a murder...
Here's where he takes a couple hours off praying that the people who know how pathetic he is are asleep.

>>17886354
>But my watches are not modern.
(1985) Post Swatch buyout = Chinese

You're Asian so it doesn't bother you, but yeah, they're not Swiss.

>>17886354
>Serious answer:
That's not an answer. That's deflection.
We remember the last time you got chased away from here and it was the same simple question.

>>17886354
>Don't you keep old pics, Anon?
Yes, but I don't post them and pretend that they're pics of watches I own. Kill yourself. Unironically.

>>17886354
Reminder: this guy was so boring he got run out of WUS.

>>17886355
>Here's where he takes a couple hours off praying that the people who know how pathetic he is are asleep.

There's nothing worse than being predictable, but he won't be able to help himself.

I got so many yous, I don't know what to do.

>>17886358
It doesn't bother me because it has no bearing on the quality or price of the watch. It does if you're buying new from an AD though, and in that respect it is a concern if one is led to believe that the watch is 100% Swiss made.

>>17886362
You asked me, 'What does it matter?', and I said, 'My watches bring a smile to my face'. That matters immensely, Anon. Try smiling, and you'll notice how much better you feel too. Life is a challenge for many people, and being able to manage it with happiness and positivity helps one to cultivate their legacy. So my watches help me do just that. But then again, I'm lucky.

>>17886365
I did own it though, and I took the picture. It could be worse Anon; I could be posting pics of someone else's watch, or simply pics that are found on the old intranet.

>>17886372
You may find this amusing, but I actually got bored of them. I think it started when a thread was created where people were complaining about social justice flags being used on their avatars. The majority of users there who post are out of touch with the political realities of today's world. Given how old my watches are, there's nothing left to be learned about them, and since I'm not buying new ones, there's no need to post. I don't think I've posted anything for a few months, come to think of it. Such is life.

What are you wearing Anon?

>>17886389
Well, it's always good to rebunk anything that comes up. What's on your wrist, Fren?

>since you guys were doing knives in the last thread

>>17886390
>You may find this amusing, but I actually got bored of them.
Funny. They got bored with you too.

>>17886372
NTA If he's so boring then why are you stalking him?

>>17886390
You're trying so hard to pretend that you're happy, you drunk. But if you were truly happy you'd be boasting about your kid's prowess at pee-wee hockey.

Instead, you're just a lonely incel. You'll get "love" here, sure, but even here we know you're just a pathetic waste of life.

>>17886394
>NTA
I didn't realize we had to announce samefagging

>>17886393
Probably. While I think my best post was about setting watches based on movement and minute-hand-play, I don't believe I had much else to contribute. Hence why there's no need to post any more. The good news though is that I had enough correspondence with people there to know that I was able to help a few. That makes it all worth while, right?

>>17886394
It's a game they have played with me for a time. In all seriousness though; if my sincere interactions with them help them to feel like they are actually being listened to and respected for their thought, then it's not a loss. Some people just need to talk, or someone to listen.

>>17886399
I am happy, but it would be difficult to recognize if one has been so dispirited with life or if life has dealt shit sandwiches for years on end. I can't blame someone for not being happy today; there are many reasons why it's easy to feel despair. When was the last time you met someone, aside from myself, who was happy? It's a rather rare thing to encounter...

>one of the 'new' pics from the other day. I really think this diver works better on a black strap than it does on the bracelet. Really brings out the kino midcase...

Why is Marc wearing two watches? Doesn't he realize how retarded that looks?

>>17886403
>I am happy,
No one who is truly happy has ever had to tell people they are. It's self evident
But, obviously, you're lonely, childless, in your 40's and you're trying to figure out how you're going to play out the string.

We're laughing at you, but , please, give us more entertainment fodder. Tell us how happy you are being lonely.

I wear a small rectangular fitness tracker on my off hand wrist. My normal watch wrist also usually has a smaller understated watch on it. I wouldn't be able to stand wearing two 44mm behemoths the way this guy often does, it would get in the way so much. Imagine every time you reach into any small space with either hand you have a giant obstruction fucking with what you're doing. I'd go absolutely insane.

Do you fear this Anon? You've assumed these traits about me more than once, but every time it seems to be more...urgent. Are you worried about being childless? Or is it more the loneliness that you are unable to manage? Are you lonely now? It is a Sunday, after all...you could be out with Frens before the week begins again for most people. Or is it worse? God-forbid, are you unable to have children?

I am here for you Anon. Tell me, and I will listen. Even if it feels like no one else listens...I will listen.

>>17886414
I am here for you too Anon. What are you wearing today?

>since you asked...

How do I use a screw down crown?

>>17886418
Yes, I am physiologically unable to have children (testicular cancer)
I'm 26. How do manage? Apart from alcoholism, I mean.
Like, you, without children, your life is completely pointless. Do you just retreat into an empty "I'm happy" fortress of delusion? (You look like you already have, obviously.)

>>17886390
omegadrunk I'm in a similar situation, I've had 2 long term relationships and after my first, longer one I went on a bender for over a year, then I met another girl and we broke up last year but I channeled my anxiety into work and I've had a great year and a half. but now I'm so immersed in work that I don't know how I'll meet someone new and I'm already 36

but I don't lose hope and neither should you.

This conversation has nothing to do with watches…

>>17886421
Adopt.
No, really.

There's thousands of children out there who need someone to show them love.

The worst-case scenario is being Poortadello, sitting on a pile of worthless watches, dying alone.

>>17886424
>This conversation has nothing to do with watches…
this is a blogposting thread. where have you been?

>>17886419
When unscrewing, don't pull the crown out prematurely - wait for the 'pop'. When screwing it in, turn it backwards until you feel the entrance of the thread before turning forwards, so that you avoid cross-threading. Does that make sense Anon?

>>17886421
I am sorry, Anon. On the one hand, you have survived a cancer that might have taken your life if left unchecked, and on the other it has deprived you of a choice for the future. It's not easy having choices taken away from you, nor is it fair. That's the worst part, actually: that we live in a society where 'fairness' is encouraged, and yet it may not bear out in the gamble of life.

There are always positives, but you may have to dig deep to find them. You have time on your side (i.e. you're young), and time is the thing that no one can ever get back or manufacture. If you are of sound mind and body, you have the time to accomplish things in life that can help you to leave a legacy behind. Biological legacy is not the only one that matters, nor is it the only one that makes a difference. But it will require you to determine it for yourself, since you know your situation best. You know your strengths, and you can work to shore up any weaknesses that may be there too. You have the power to do all of that, but it is definitely not easy, nor is it a guarantee of anything. Too many in life work hard and have 'nothing to show for it'. We work hard to have the chance to be remarkable. That's all it is...a chance. Does that make any sense? There is so much in life that can give someone meaning, but it might require redirecting the expectation.

>>17886424
Everything can be related back to watches.

>>17886428
Yeah, thanks, but how do you get around the idea that your life is completely meaningless?

Like, /wt/ isn't going to remember you. It obviously hates you. You're a shit blogposter.

I've donated a bunch to my alma mater's library. A couple million, but not enough to have a building named after me.

Without sounding like an asshole, you're obviously worthless, but you seem to be managing.

>>17886423
Well, you're in a good place; you're working hard at what you do, and as you say you've had a great year and a half. Consider that we live in a world where dating is on the one hand 'easier' (far more fish in the sea due to online dating) and as a result far 'harder' (hypergamy gone wild). You're not old, which is great, and there are many women who might be looking for a guy who is 'settled' in terms of job. Sure, you still have to play the role (i.e. provider, stabaliser, etc.), but it is appealing to many more women than you might expect. If you're not already doing so, start working out. You don't have to go full otter mode, just enough that you are able to show off your power. Then, and this is awful to say but true, you have to be proactive and immune to failure. It seems to be a biological reality that men will always have to make the first move, and the fantasy that a women will suddenly notice a man and ask him out remains just a fantasy. There are places to meet women irl, still, but it all depends on the culture you live in, the societal expectations, etc. Don't lose hope, even if you get rejected. Quite honestly, the ones who end up with women are the ones who 'get up and try again'.

>>17886431
>Consider that we live in a world where dating is on the one hand 'easier' (far more fish in the sea due to online dating) and as a result far 'harder' (hypergamy gone wild).
LMAO!!! Of course you'd be one of those faggots!!! It just gets better!

yep.

didn't you show them your watch collection?

>>17886431

Holy shit, I didn't realize we got a real-live men's rights activist!

>>17886430
My life is not meaningless Anon; you've claimed it, many times, but I'm afraid it's simply not true. But something that is important to consider: 'meaning' in life is not the be-all, end-all of achieving happiness. It's just another component, and with others in place, it can make life happy. I've been very lucky that my presence in life helps others. That is not my purpose (or maybe it is, that's not for me to determine), but it is a component that seems to make a difference in a positive way to others. I don't need /wt/ to remember me; I do not ask for anything in return. That's the key, btw, to living a good life; give without expecting return. I know that /wt/ doesn't hate me...after all, someone used my Citizen as the OP pic for this thread...with a modification to the gentleman standing in the reflection, of course.

I'm glad you donated to your alma mater's library; that's a seriously useful and wonderful gift, which should benefit millions in the generations to come. Without 'sounding like an asshole', at least 3 of my books should reside therein.

>>17886433
There is no use obfuscating the challenges young men have today Anon; that would be wrong.

Yea, when they were on /g/.

Why are you guys picking on Omegadrunk? Does people owning expensive things trigger you so much? Maybe if you don't sit around insulting people on 4chan you might amount to something and finally afford a watch that what he has.

If someone posts an Apple Watch which is way more technology than fucking Casio, that person is instantly called a Pajeet, then someone posts a naked Indian man then the pro-Apple person is banned. The guy posting the naked Indian man is not banned and his post stays up in a SFW board.

Interesting, unique. Looks pretty good, hope you enjoy wearing it.

>>17886407
Oh hey I'm wearing that right now!

>>17886752
The Casioak or the other one?

>>17886407
How does one take either of these two bozos seriously?

>>17886753
Casioak

Bros I'm waffling. Do I NEED a gmt watch? Maybe once a week I actually use it to track when setting calls and set up my calendar with utc anyway.

So I could get the new alpinist gmt in green from Japan for like 1k or the regular for 725 now

>>17886703
not a casio

>>17887164
or get a casio royale

>>17887192
Already have one

>>17886407
This jew has a Daytona but I've yet to ever see him wear it, why?

What makes them expensive? Surely the materials or the "craftsmanship" can't make it 10 thousand dollars more, can they? Is it just a scam?
