Pics don't do it justice. They just don't. I will try to get the best out of the dial.

>>17909629
>>17909631
>>17909635
damn nice

Personally I think I prefer the slightly coarser and grainier mechanical version's dial, but still. Damn nice.

>>17909636
Thank you my friend, I feel amazing right now.
I have to apologize in advance, I will be spamming the fuck out of this watch. I'm sorry.

>>17909638
I thought so too, but this dial is "silver" enough. Like I said the pics don't do it justice. I was expecting much less texture if that makes sense.
I mean, look at it.
The movement decoration is my only complain but that is just cherry picking. I will post it after this one.

>>17909642
This is exactly what comes to mind when I imagine the positive aspects of GS. You felt the price was fine?

>>17909631
An excellent choice, TudorAnon. Wear it in good health, and absolutely show us as many pics as you can!

I agree that you have to see them in person; they're different in real life, and they mog the hell out of other watches in that pricepoint.

>>17909643
They are, they truly are and I've been looking for a solid ten minutes under the macro lense and can't find a single flaw, nothing. For comparison, this is my tudor.
Different watch for a different purpose, I know, but still.

>>17909648
I paid 7800€
New. Japan-Like price. I saw the deal and I just bought it.
I think it's adequate yes. Would I pay MSRP? Aka 9800€?
Well now that I know, I guess I would yes. But I have to wait for at least a week or two to give my final thoughts. I am still on my honeymoon period with this one.

Nah, neither are correct. Though I do agree, the priority here should be TudorAnon's new GS. So, this will be my last post for now.

Looking forward to seeing more pics of the fresh GS!!

New pic has the 321 with my lighter. Haven't done that yet...

>>17909688
It's twice as thick as my others. They spend a lot of time on it. If the watch itself is a 10 the bracelet is an 8.

I normally tend to avoid answering these kind of posts but here:
1. My father haven't bought me any watches. I, in the other hand, bought gifted him a Rolex.
2. WTF every single time they add me more years. I'm NOT even 40, I'm 38.

>>17909739
Well, the tem is rising again. Thanks global warming, I guess.
Oh, btw. Guess what? I got an offering for my (apparently) maybe unique Jeffersonia dial. 25k. Do you think I should have accepted it?

>>17909784
That dial is too based, I'd keep it. Don't mind the seething rage of like the same anon replaying and insulting everyone. How's your health middle-aged anon?

since some anon posted the cw12 in the other thread i can't stop thinking about it. i really want an integrated bracelet watch and this seems like it could be the one.

>>17909789
It's fine, but be sure to try it out first. A lot of integrated bracelet watches are pretty uncomfortable since the bracelet links are not well-articulated.

>>17909788
>That dial is too based, I'd keep it.
Yeah,I felt the same. I gues I wanted a bit of confirmation.

>How's your health middle-aged anon?

You don't need the money, so why sell?

>>17909789
If it appeals to you, get it for sure. CW has some incredible dials, there is an anon with a C63 Sealander GMT I think? It had an outstanding blue dial.

Any non-smart watches that track daily steps?

>>17909652
>I've been looking for a solid ten minutes under the macro lense and can't find a single flaw

>>17909773
Thanks Anon; they're still available on Chrono24 if you have the funds ready. Given that Citizen is putting the 0100 into a bunch of new watches though, you might be able to get the same performance for a lot less in terms of price. You never know...

>>17909776
Happy to; my tech is actually working for a change!

>>17909779
Whenever I can, Fren.

>>17909784
Well, here's how I see it. Do you wear it a lot? Do you yearn for it when you're not wearing it? Could it go up in value in a decade or two? It's a tough one. If the watch makes your heart sing, keep it....but if it's not affecting you emotionally, maybe selling it to someone who is passionate about it might be better; then everyone is happy. I don't know the prices on these though, so I have no idea if 25k is 'good/bad'. I'd almost think of consulting an expert in the market and see what they say (I'm thinking Davidoff Bros or people like that, though I don't know who is an expert in Cosmics).

How do you feel about it, LawyerAnon?

Trying out another one now...too much dust though...

>>17909799
Cheers anon, enjoy your watches in good health!
As far as the dial goes, Omega anon might be able to clear things out for you.

>>17909799

>>17909806
>How do you feel about it, LawyerAnon?
That's the thing, m8. I wear it almost never. Firstly because of its age, and lastly because, since I got it with a really small bracelet, it hurts a bit, if I wear it for several hours.

However, as >>17909800 pointed out, I don't need to sell it. (In fact, I tend to not sell watches, only gift them) and I guess, I really, really like the idea of having a maybe unique dial in my hands. Same goes to the extremely rare GP Motorola "chip" dial, although they made a few of those.

I also felt like the person offering was trying to lowball the price, although I got it cheaper than that, but that was before the current watch boom.

Yeah, I'm gonna keep it.

>>17909806
Nice wrist rolls fren.

>>17909715

>>17909822
I didn't know if I should do the avatar meme or just respond normally and somehow "middle-aged anon" came out ;~;

>>17909817
Sounds like a good plan. The one thing I'd do though is see if I could authenticate the uniqueness of the piece; in other words, take a flight to Bienne and check with Omega in person; you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Always love seeing your pieces, man. Stay in good health!

>>17909819
Thanks CitizenChad! Nice coinage too; I don't collect coins, so it's cool to see others.

Alright, here's the last one for today; the hands are askew as they should be!

That's not a bad take at all. I just made a month's long trip to Kenya and Tanzania this year, so maybe the next one.

>>17909829
A small, delicate JLC Rendez-Vous or a Cartier Tank.

>>17909829
Patek Twenty-Four

>>17909839
Yup; if you look carefully enough, you can see my hand holding the camera when the watch centers...lol I should reflect on that issue.

>>17909840
Now that I think about it, it might be cheaper to first get a full extract from the archives on it. At least then you could confirm the general parameters of the watch. Do you think there is any doubt regarding the dial, or is it just that you've never seen one with that specific combination before?

>>17909822
I meant an actual massage, i bet it's been ages since you had one. Or go to a sauna, something to make you relax. In any case i wish you find sleep soon.

>>17909618
Fairly good fellow hamibro, just killing it at work

>>17909852
in that case, make sure they have a generous return policy.

I want a diver watch that I can wear 24/7 without issue.

What would you buy ? Between 10 and 1000 euros

>>17909845
Omega anon, redpill me on vintage pocket watches. Can they be easily serviced? Is sourcing replacement parts a chore? I'm looking for something fairly cheap, not ready to jump into Zenith tier kino.

>>17909862
Under 1000 Euros is tricky, unless you find something used. You're pretty much limited to only junk Seikos and the like.

Better to take that money, keep saving, and eventually get a watch you want, rather than just buying something for the sake of it.

>>17909864
Waste of money. You can't carry a pocket watch without becoming a steampunk perma-virgin.

>>17909866
Oh no anon, don't misunderstand me. I have no actual need to carry one. I'd like one as a piece for collecting, maybe even taking one apart myself just to see if I can get it back to running. But at least I can save myself from bottom tier shitters with the help of Omega anon.

I want a GS now

>>17909864
Best redpill I can construct:

Upsides:
>Get more bang for buck in terms of complications and companies.
>Independents can service easily. If they need parts, they can source or fabricate.

Downsides:
>wear with appropriate clothing
>as convenient/inconvenient as pulling out a phone to tell the time
>much easier to damage, and usually no water-proofness of ANY kind.

I could go on and on about each point, but to address your questions dead on:

>easily serviced?
Depends on the pocket watch. Usually 'yes'.

>sourcing replacement parts?
Depends on the watch. Popular ones by Hamilton, Elgin, Waltham, Ball, Omega, Longines, etc. have tonnes of parts, but obscure makers are more difficult.

Something cheap? I'd recommend starting with a Hamilton 992b. They are railroad grade, capable of being within +/- 15 seconds per WEEK, if fully serviced. They're respectable, and if you don't like it, you can always resell it for about as much as you paid for on the secondary market right now.

If you like what you see, then you can go with complications or higher companies. Pateks become affordable, as does Rolex, VC, etc. Also, complications like minute repeaters are no longer only +50k.

Does any of that help?

>>17909845
>Do you think there is any doubt regarding the dial, or is it just that you've never seen one with that specific combination before?
Not a doubt, really, just that I have never saw other one. As far as I know, the watch with that dial arrived to the og store in Mexico in 1968 (the year of the mexican olympics) with a buch of other watches from the Omega factory. There's even an old inventory book with a sheet that says "numeros raros" odd numerals when they listed the entire shipment. I believe maybe it was sent by mistake as it wasn't intended lo leave the factory.

>>17909862
Plenty of Seiko 5s that can be worn daily and they also have 100m wr. Unless you want something that's really specifically diving focused

>>17909870
Go get one anon. Buy from based Japanese sellers on chrono if you want a decent price. If you want to buy a new one I can't really help you as there are no GS boutiques anywhere near me, but I remember one anon talking about the experience, and he said it was based.

>>17909869
If you want to take a watch apart, then the best watch is actually one of those Panerai homages that runs off an Asian Unitas, which is, of course, an old pocket watch movement design.

They are simple, bombproof designs, and you don't have to worry about the fragility that comes with dealing with something over a century old.

>>17909877
This does help a ton Omega anon, thank you very much!

Alpinist

>>17909901
I'd go for the C63 Sealander GMT with a blue dial they absolutely fuck.

>>17909886
One last thing: >>17909885 is right regarding experimenting with the Unitas clones or original Unitas movements if you plan on taking stuff apart seriously. I'm not someone who would try fixing a vintage pocket watch without the help of someone experienced who has worked with them before, because there are quirks about these movements that you wouldn't figure out with common sense.

Good luck!

Have a great thread, Anons!

>>17909909
>>17909885
Cheers anons, I will keep all that in mind!

That Waltham is really stunning.
I have looked around the Hamilton 992b, and it looks like I will be getting one in near future.
I just need to check locally before I order it online.
Have a nice thread anons, I will be going to bed, tough work tomorrow.

I was thinking about getting my ex-gf a quartz panthere de cartier, but then she left me (for another woman)

How do you guys prevent your watches from being scratched and destroyed just from wearing them?

>>17909922
They don't get destroyed by just wearing them. A scratch here and there isn't the end of the world, you get used to wearing a watch after a while and dodging door frames becomes easy and self-intuitive.

>>17908572
The game has changed.

Watches are obsolete.

It's all about bracelets.

>>17909865
Like I said 1000 euros as a reference, I can spend more if I really like the watch but I'm not really a watch enthusiast, at least not yet. I have a Bambino but i dont like it for casual wear.

What would you suggest tho .

>>17909888
Not exactly what I was looking for but it's pretty

>>17909917
I would still say kino, but has less color options. Also be sure to check your wrist size since CW has 36mm, 39mm, 40mm and 41mm options.

>>17909927
I've gotten a few compliments on my seiko spb143, and I got it for like $900usd about two years ago I think?
I'd just make sure to get one with an aligned bezel.

Hallo???

>>17909922
>How do you guys prevent your watches from being scratched and destroyed just from wearing them?
1. be careful

2. accept that nicks are part of ownership and nothing is permanent. consider the case of blue jeans: they will only ever have that perfect fade and wear for an instant, because every time you wear them, they wear out a little more. when your old and you pass your watch onto your son or daughter, they won't care that it's not in as-new condition, it will be "dad's watch", a unique one-of-one piece. if you don't have any children to pass a legacy onto, then you don't need to worry what happens to your watch when you're gone.

>>17909926
LMAO anon, the rest of fashion threads melted your brain.

I can't wait for someone to approach me and tell me his coat hanger abortion of a shoelace bracelet with a crystallized cum shot mogs my watch.

Most of us actually care about what we wear not only because muh expensive watch, but we enjoy the craftsmanship, history and other aspects of watch collecting. We are all autistic about watches.

>>17909927
>What would you suggest tho .

If you're able to spend more, Tudor Black Bay 54. Yes, it's more expensive, but it will definitely be a dive watch you can wear every day for the rest of your life.
If you want to buy a used watch, find a 90s-era Bond Omega Seamaster, ref.2531.80. Those were well-proportioned, comfortable, slim, totally reliable. You can find good examples for under 2000 USD.

>>17909928
I'm a bit sceptical about them... I've seen some people saying that they are chinese made and so. But that's not even what more repels me most: it's the simillarity to the Aquaterra. Like, it's somewhat a cope, isn't it?

>>17909943
>Like, it's somewhat a cope, isn't it?
True, but does that really matter outside of /wt/?

>>17909939
>craftsmanship
You have no idea how a watch is crafted.

>history
History ended when the quartz movement was invented. More so when smart phones were invented.

>and other aspects....t-t-trust me bro.
Watches have zero utility now.

If you want to wear something stylish, wear a bracelet. There is infinitely more room for creativity and you don't have to put up with the utility argument. They are obviously vain and artistic, that's the point.

>>17909943
Eh, I mean if you are buying a CW or really any watch whatsoever, and you think of it as a cope of XYZ watch it's really going to take all the fun out of owning any watch.

If you buy a watch and enjoy it for what it is without buying it as a cope watch you will be really happy. But if you do buy a watch as a cope you will hate it the moment you put it on your wrist. It applies to like 90% of people I would say.
Some of course will get over it and start liking the watch for what it does offer, but I'd say you are better off buying a watch you actually want to get.

>>17909945
I'm overly autistic and won't be able to get this out of my fucked up mind. I don't even post my watches here. The Willard seems like a great watch, and I'm negotiating one for a good price ($800, shipping included).
>>17909951
That's it.

Is it kino?

>>17909956
Yes, but not on the leather nato. But yes. It's a good fit on your wrist.

>>17909951
>>17909945
I was in love with the c63, but my brother said it is an Aquaterra cope and now I'm agreeing with him...
The Willard just seems to have more soul, if you know what I mean.
Other alternatives includes the Alpinist (as mentioned), Hamilton Murph and a microshitter called Peren. Although being a micro, it seems more unique imo.

>>17909956
More kino than the microshitter dirty dozen watches

is it autistic to NOT want two watches with the same movement?
e.g. I own a seiko with a 6r35 movement and a couple other models have caught my eye but then I see they also have it and I lose interest.
it's not even about me liking or hating the movement (I think the movement is fine, but also think it's used on watches too expensive for what it is)

>>17909961
I'm open to suggestions btw. The only criterias are not being chinese, being able to fit well on my female (male) wrist and having a authentic design language. The style I'm going for is a versatile/retro looking sports watch; AKA GADA watch.

>>17909949
Cope wristlet anon, the shoestring bracelets are yours to keep.

Of course, I do know a watch is crafted. A ton of time is put into R&D, case shape, case design, movement design, materials chosen, dial design and manufacturing all of that into a finished watch. I could lecture your ignorant ass about how a watch is made, but that'd be a waste of time.

History continues to this day, Citizen making the 0100 the most accurate quartz movement to exist right now didn't have to go so hard, but they did.

There are still companies passing down the art of manufacturing quality mechanical and automatic movements.

Digital watches are also based.

Phones are cool, but people get addicted to them way too quickly.
My phone can run out of battery while my solar G-Shock will work until the rechargeable cell dies, or I shoot the watch with a .50 BMG.
An automatic watch keeps powered by you literally wearing it all day and actually doing something, while a mechanical movement, usually hand wound, only requires you to turn the crown a few times, and they have a power reserve big enough to ensure the watch doesn't stop even after you take it off.

If watches had 0 utility they would have already died, but oops the watchmaking industry is still going strong.
If your only defense against shitty bracelets some chinese child made in a sweatshop for $0.04 is "tHeY A rE BvioouSly aRtIstiC aND vAiN" that tells me you literally never had the joy of owning and enjoying a watch.

WILLARD

you bitch, you

What is this schizo babbling about above me? lines and lines of nothing. and of course the retarded pays for sex loser buys a watch and can’t even take nice pics of it bc his brain is the size of a hpv wart. do better non frens it’s amazing how dumb you all are.

>>17909862
In some later post you said you can go over €1000 I'd say Sinn.

A Sinn U50 on a bracelet would unironically fuck. Mostly because you can get any other type of strap pretty cheap aftermarket. Other than that, maybe looking for a used one? Hard to recommend something without having a concrete limit.

>>17909961
Honestly between all these you are stuck between Alpinist and a Willard. Get either, get both or toss a coin. Oh I know, choose the one you want more, that'd be easier.

Thinking about selling all my watches and getting a SBGX347. I hate this disease of watch collecting, I love all 3 of my watches but I still can't help thinking about it

>>17909961

NATO straps are supposed to be fabric. They look weird and bulky when they're made of leather.

It would look great on a regular NATO or a regular leather strap, particularly on a nicely broken-in shell cordovan strap.

>>17910086
Yes, a khaki/olive strap like the original

The only good Glycine is the Airman Purist, though, and it's hard to find/possibly discontinued.

>>17910144
I like the combat collection, and they are all around 500-700 euro

>>17910144
>The only good Glycine is the Airman Purist, though, and it's hard to find/possibly discontinued.

It's not discontinued, but Glycine is a small company that produces watches in batches. Being their iconic watch, the Airman No.1 sells out quickly.

>>17910149
I love these. Every other manufacturer should take notes: this is how to do a reissue of a vintage watch correctly:

materials
fit & finish

>Things to leave alone
size

>>17910149
Why are there 24h markers on both the dial and the bezel?

Inb4
>it's a GMT
Yes, but it would still make more sense to have one of the two carry 12h markers, no? Otherwise one of them is redundant a lot of the time.

>>17909949
>Watches have zero utility now

>>17910163
>Why are there 24h markers on both the dial and the bezel?

The hour hand only goes around the dial once every 24 hours. (The hour hand moves half as fast.)
The bezel rotates (the crown at 4 is a bezel lock) so allows the wearer can track a second timezone.

This design predates the Rolex GMT-Master. By the way, the first GMT-Master didn't have an independently-adjustable hour hand. The GMT was permanently locked to the hour hand, so it could only track two timezones as well

Rolex's design was a little more useful for the average user (even if actual pilots liked the Glycine more.)

For my bros who keep coinposting

>>17910177
Countering with postmarkposting :)

Now that Whoretadello has a new watch, should we revisit the rankings?

Ranking known collections:

1. Mortadello
This isn't up for debate, is it?

2. Nobully anon
Extremely tasteful watches, regardless of who paid for them.

3. Reverso anon
Tight collection with no weak points. Only four pieces, though.

4. Up/Down anon
His ALS is supreme but the rest of the collection is not as impressive. A close call between him and Reverso anon.

5. Poortadello
The Citizen 0100 and Maddox Grail don't outweigh the fact that the rest is just a bunch of boring Omegas.

6. Vintage Chrono Anon
The vintage Heuers make it a close call between him and Poortadello. The extent of his collection isn't known so he ranks below Poortadello for now.

Lol, I remember that one anon flipping out accusing him of getting Whoretadello banned.

That one feels as forced as Poortadello, though. He was OmegaDrunk before he was anything else, as was Reverso Anon.

>>17910215
On the right watch, they can look good, but the ExpI definitely is not the right watch.

>>17910215
>I'll never understand the love they get
You can get a bunch of them in a dozen different colors for less than the price of a strap from a major brand.
They're also extremely easy to swap out to match your outfit and give you a constant variety of new things to post.
You can't understand why someone who's brain is rotted out from social media would like something like that?

Anyone know what that gold watch with the blue dial Greg Guttfield is wearing recently?

>>17910206
Vintage chrono anon's watches are great, but he hasn't posted in a while, so I don't think he should be on this list anymore.

Whoretadello new watch is really nice, but if we're ranking collections, he has one really nice watch, two okay watches, and then whatever.

Now, more interesting would be if you put up the best watch from each collection.
Mortadello's Journe vs Nobully's VC Chrono vs. Reverso Anon's Fifty Fathoms, etc.
In that case, I think Whoretadello and Omega Drunk would climb because their best pieces are good, while Reverso Anon would fall because all his pieces are more or less on the same level.

>>17910206
what is reverso anon's collection?
nobully is my favorite.

>>17910244
>what is reverso anon's collection?

That I know of: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, Rolex Datejust, JLC Reverso, Piaget Altiplano. That's known, and I could have sworn he has a Homos and a Hublot but I might be confusing him with another poster who also had a Reverso.

I don't know Vintage Chrono but Poortadello has the 0100, and the two vintage Speedies, which cancel out the GS, Tudor and the Credor.

>>17910340

I think about his collection compared to Mort's.
Mort has a bunch of GOAT pieces but also a lot of dogshit. He ended up with a Journe but also a Chopard. He just spends money like a woman. Reverso anon identified his perfect set and lasered in on it. Sports watch, daily watch, dress watch...

It's the difference between killing a man by bombing a city block vs walking up behind him and knifing him in the kidneys.

>>17909926
>mogged

>>17910353
Not him, but it's an aftermarket. Period-correct flat-link bracelets are too expensive.

I actually have a quartz Electric Blue, myself, on the OEM Bond Bracelet. Those are fairly easy to get for decent money. Did yours come on a bracelet?

>>17910361
Yes, mine came on the Speedy style bracelet which I like the look of, but no microadjust makes it hard to get a good fit. I've been wearing it on a milanese from Strapcode mostly.

>>17909956
Yes, but by the long hairs. Get a better nato for it.

>>17910411
Of course not, it's a watch where the dial is much smaller than the movement baseplate.
Believe it or not, but it was another attempt by AP to create a design that could allow them to move away from the Royal Oak.

Mort bought one because it was cheap.

The santos is a cooler watch in every way. And even the pasha is cooler imo

>>17910353
I'll clarify that because >>17910361 is only half-right.

The original bracelet is unusable (stretched and fragile), so the question became what to do: I could keep it on leather forever, but I prefer bracelets. I love the flatlink design, as I think it is ideal for the head of the watch, but the quality wasn't out there. So, I ended up getting the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Flatlink bracelet that normally comes on the 50th anniversary Speedy; you can buy the bracelet as a separate component from Omega directly. The only problem is that the endlinks for that one only fit the new midcase (which has an extra step or a different size step). That meant I had a bracelet but no endlinks to fit it on. Luckily, another fellow on either WUS or OmegaForums (can't remember which) had already done a conversion, and they used Uncle Seiko endlinks for the US flatlink and the Omega 50th Annivesary bracelet for their 1861. So, that's what I did. The endlinks are from Uncle Seiko, and the bracelet/clasp is OEM.

I went this route because my 321 is a keeper 4life, so I wanted a bracelet to match. If you don't want to go that route due to cost, consider Forstner Flatlink bracelets or Uncle Seiko. Either one will do, and they have options like fully brushed, or some polished sections, etc.

Your electric blue quartz Seamaster looks awesome, btw; I trust it's keeping great time! Does that help?

I really like the look of the Laco Ausgburg 39, but the blue dial is too metalic for my taste, and I dont like the black sandpaper look of the black dial, nor the green numbers, presumably caused by the lume.

>>17910861
To me having to source the parts by yourself is a given on any vintage watch and should be taken into account. If you have so much money that you're willing to send the watch back to Japan to an official service then you also have enough money to buy another one that's in bad condition but has the parts needed and give the parts to an able watchmaker of your choosing. When i bought my first vintage Seiko my first thought was that i have to find another one so i can use it for parts.
