Cope, if you must, and you will

I like watches but I hate watch "people".

>>17937458
wtf is that bezel?

>>17937467
Rolex made some very strange watches back in the old days. You could just as easily ask what is the point of a lumed dial without lumed hands.

>>17937458
come on post watches on your wrists so I can do my magic

>>17937458
Did Rolex copy this watch from the Tudor BB58?

>>17937467
Looks like it's meant to rotate, but scientists (for whom the watch was designed for) would like something a bit more accurate for timing. Who knows. I don't think new Milgausses have it, maybe it's better that way.

>>17937458
Citizen on the wrist today.
What are you wearing?

>>17937469
>what is the point of a lumed dial without lumed hands
intriguing
on the topic of lume, what's the point of different color lume on a watch when human's don't have color vision in the dark? the watch would have to touch your nose for you to distinguish the colors.

What's an absolute "I hate niggers" watch?

I feel like it's "old money" watches, but old-money are all the satanic cabal pushing the degenerate shit. So "new money" like Datejusts, people who had to climb out of the lower or middle class?

>>17937478
>what's the point of different color lume on a watch when human's don't have color vision in the dark?
It can't be anything more than a marketing gimmick.
It looks cool when you shine a blacklight on it in the store.

>>17937469
Maybe there's no lume, it's just printed dots?

Looking at the pic at full res it really just looks like the printed dots which they'd normally apply the lume on top.

It's an automatic alarm Fortis, niggerino.

>>17937503
>JLC
It always cracks me up when people associate JLC to monarchy, nobility, elegance, class or whatever.

JLC is the epitome of a "mid luxury" brand, marketed towards middle managers who can't afford a Patek or a Cartier Collection Privée. If it wasn't for the unexpected revival of the Reverso in the 80s, that brand would have had the same fate as Universal Geneve. Or maybe Longines.

They even made a watch to time your parking space. You can't be more "RTW suit, Audi A6, suburban house, middle manager" than that lmao

We already talked about it. When Seamasters already withstand strong magnetism there's not much of a point to something like a Milgauss.

>>17937571
But seamasters SUCK

>>17937530
At least one monarch wore one and, in fact, one of the more based ones.

>>17937563
They were right to discontinue it. It was ugly and stupid.
They should also discontinue the Air King, Yacht-Master, Sky Dweller, 41mm Datejust, 41mm OP and 40mm Explorer.

>>17937563
But they discontinued the Oysterquartz back in 2000.

This look?

Come on. Crocced-out Speedy.

yesterday I changed my f105w's battery. this was my first watch, it was a gift from my mom when I was in 3rd grade--I'm now in my mid 30s.
I still wear it every now and then.

>>17937577
>They should also discontinue the Air King
They should've axed the Air King instead of the Milgauss desu. Air King is even more pointless and honestly pretty boring compared to the Milgauss

>>17937591
The Air King should go back to what it used to be before it became the cartoonish thing it is now: a simple pilot's watch.

>>17937590

>>17937591
Air King is dogshit, but instead of axing it, they should return to the monke.

>>17937594
>>17937597
Rolex already revived the classic Air King, except it's called the 34mm Oyster Perpetual now.

The current Air King should be discontinued, ESPECIALLY since the release of the 40mm Explorer1.

1) I'm not black
2) They need to start making good watches

>>17937640
Nothing that appeals to me that much, aside from maybe a Plat DD, but I'd only get something like that if I made 150k a year.
Somewhat related, I don't get the Daytona. It's nice and all, but I don't understand how it's especially amazing compared to other chronos. An anon once said because of it's thinness, but it didn't seem THAT thin to me.

Should I get this bros? Can anyone tell me a little bit more about this watch and beans? I think it looks incredible

>>17937658
In the world of automatic chronos, 14mm or more thick and over 40mm case diameter is the norm. Every mm you can shave off of that makes a huge difference.

>>17937658
Why $150k? Is there some kind of watch to income math people are supposed to do? I make about $80k a year not including my wife's income and even though I physically have the money for it I'm still not totally convinced it makes financial sense for me to buy a $7-10k watch. But I'm also the kind of autistic worry wart that always thinks the house could burn down at any moment and I'll desperately need every dollar I can get immediately to deal with some kind of disaster emergency. In the first week after we bought our house and started living there we had a water pipe leak and it's mindfucked me ever since to expect another bullshit problem to fuck me at any moment.

Champagne me up, naggers. Let’s fuck this weekend.

>>17937661
Tonda definitely.

>>17937679
do you want an automatic watch?

>>17937640
Mainly because they are too expensive for me. Maybe in ten years, let's see.
>>17937670
I've been thinking about this too. At what point does a 10k-20k Rolex purchase feel so small you're not bothered about it at all? quarter-million in the bank/stock portfolio? Perhaps even more?

>>17937658
>column wheel and vertical clutch
>automatic
>100m WR
>only 40mm in diameter and 12,5mm thick
Also it's a Rolex, which means top QC and accuracy, amazing bracelet and clasp, and unmatched brand recognition and prestige.
I don't really like it because I think chronographs are dumb, but it moggs even some top tier high horology chronograph in terms of dimensions and specs.

>>17937684
solar/quartz would be better

your watch should at max be 30% of your monthly pay

>>17937661
brand, not beans lol.
>>17937681
Thanks. Any reason why you like the tonda? not just saying choose that because of the dislike of the bathyscaphe. Only thing I'm apprehensive about is how formal the tonda looks, as I'd like to wear it every day

>>17937661
>parmigiani
how d'you like dat cheese fratello

>>17937670
Well a nice Platinum Daydate is like 30-40 thousand Euros and I feel like if I'm making 150 thousand a year anyway I should be past my biggest hurdle of any expenditure "I could've invested that money instead".
Feel like at that point I'm already investing so much anyway that I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my money on myself.

>>17937690
I just really like the case shape. Everything else about them too, but the case just looks so elegant and sleek.

They've been on a steady decline starting from the early 2010s to now. The SKX special models didn't do well. GS has to give watches away to 'influencers.' And their boomer customers are dying off.

Apple approached them over a decade ago to go into Smartwatches. The CEO at the time laughed it off as them being merely toys. Now the Apple Watch sales account for 20 billion in 2022 while Seiko's entire business accounted for less than 900 million. A 200 million decrease since 2020.

TL;DR - Seiko is losing around 15-20% a year world wide. US market only now account for 5% of total sales. Europe 7% and Asia(not-JP) 4%, Japan is still holding strong. They need to do 'something.'

>>17937758
These are fakes and that "Breguet" is horrendous. Centered second hand and date window is indeed stupid on such a watch.

>>17937800
I could tell the Sub is fake right away, but what is your tell on the Breguet?

HIs watch collection is pretty interesting TBQH.

He owns BOTH the Seiko and Rolex American Psycho watch. The Seiko is worn as a beater and can be seen with him when he's filling up. He owns a few fancy watches that was given to him from the production studio from a Day Date from American Hustle, which he wore again for the movie Vice. He owns the same Reverso for all of his Batman movies. The watch brand that he seems to have paid for himself is Cartier though.

>>17937863
dying for a well deserved reason, I'm howling at it

A thought just occurred to me on the Explorer 2. The proposed intended use of the watch is for subterranean exploration, right? So what in the point of lume on a watch in an application where you're going to be underground for extended periods of time making it difficult to impossible for the lume to charge, but even if it did you would necessarily need to have headlamps and all kinds of light sources with you anyway? The lume doesn't do anything to help you.

>>17937864
The guy has pretty shit taste to be honest. The only good watches he has, the Day Date were given to him. The DJ he bought himself to prepare for American Psycho, but then Rolex themselves had a shitfit and threaten to sue.

>>17937478
I can absolutely tell the difference between green lume and blue lume in the dark. I've never heard anyone say they have no color vision in the dark, is that a common thing?

>>17937869
Head lamps are only good for limited use. The older E2 has a lume that will last for a few hours after getting some light. The last two iteration of the E2 uses Chromalight which can last for 8-10 hours after getting some light. So shine your lamp on it for a few seconds, then be able to read them for hours. The first E2 used to use Tritium but people started being scared of getting wrist cancer or something.

>>17937869
You don't carry a mini UV light on your pack?

>>17937862
But that's not the reason.

>>17937875
But you have to have lamps on anyway if you're descending in a cave, right? Where are you going and how do you know where you're going if you don't have a light source?

/fa/ is where this shit thread belongs and you know it.

Let me get this straight. Please be patient, I have autism: an automatic watch you have to wear every day or the spring runs down and it stops. It must then be rewound. It loses several seconds a day best case. It must be serviced which is more expensive the more premium the watch is.

What is the appeal of an automatic over a quartz watch? Could you not just put all the rolex fancy stuff over a good quartz movement?

>>17937875
Isn't Rolex lume notoriously weak?

>>17937894
Glad you asked this. Answer is quartz is le bad.

>>17937894
I prefer quartz over automatic for wearing but as an engineer, I definitely appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into mechanical watches. What's more interesting, an electric motor or some complex voodoo with lots of gears and springs?
>Then why do you prefer quartz?
Because I get my tinkering fix from working on jet engines and cars, so I don't really care much if my watch has that stuff. But it's still very cool.

>>17937897
>Isn't Rolex lume notoriously weak?
No, it's bright when it's charged up, it just doesn't last very long at all.

>>17937894
>What is the appeal of an automatic over a quartz watch?
I am a mechanical engineer and I love high-precision machines that require no power sources besides my natural hand movement
Also, mechanical watches have a nice sweep on their seconds hand

>>17937894
>Clockwork machines are cool
>Smooth sweeping second hand is cool
>Having accurate to the second time almost never matters in the real world
>Many watches are cheap and robust enough that it's not really necessary or not even worth servicing them anyway. A lot of people have rolexes for 20 or 30 years and never service them and they're still as good or better in accuracy than the average seiko.
It's definitely not for everybody, but people who are old souls that like historical stuff, or people who are gearheads that like mechanical things appreciate things like this.

>>17937897
It doesn't light as bright as the cheaper lume. But if you wore it at 8pm, go to sleep and wake up to piss at 4am you'd be able to easily read the time without any light. It's designed to last a lot longer than regular lume.

>>17937906
On fake Rolex the lume dies pretty quick.

>>17937909
>On fake Rolex the lume dies pretty quick.
depends on the fake. Some use Superluminova which is brighter and lasts longer than gen, kek.

I'm coming for you all fuckers.
What's my watch for the mission?

>>17937695
Marry me

>>17937911
Superluminova - glows longer but degrade/yellow faster.

I'd rather take Chromalight, since they're designed to not degrade for decades.

>>17937897
>Isn't Rolex lume notoriously weak?
Rolex forums have tons of threads of guys bitching about their weak lume, so yeah, probably. Then again, a lot of them are comparing to Omega or Seiko, both of which have excellent lume.

>>17937894
Watches are about fashion and status signaling instead of practicality. The time telling aspect is a cope that us men use as an excuse to wear jewelry. Grand Seiko does make some expensive quartz watches though.

>>17937930
If that were the case the industry wouldn't be dying. What you said only applies to Rolex and a few select watches that rappers mention. In the grand scheme no one cares about watches.

I'd already feel embarrassed walking around with a fake Submariner on my wrist, but I kind of get it since it's not THAT expensive and Rolex has made millions of these.
But a fake yellow gold Day-Date and a fake Daytona? Come on man... That's arab/pajeet tier. People will immediately assume these are fakes lmao

what's the point of getting a genuine watch if people are gonna assume its fake anyway

>>17937953
i can tell you must be the 5907 breguet autist from the close-mindedness and prejudice in your post. here's some information that invalidates your line of thinking, although i know your bigotry will not allow any change in opinion:
-not all models have superreps. the fakes here are almost all top-tier (except daydate, which is yet to have a great rep)
-i like classic designs. their iconic status proves their success as a product. they also happen to be versatile for similar reasons. i don't need my watch to express my individuality.
-i happen to have over a dozen 'unique' gen watches. picrel is one. their cumilative value easily exceeds 50k. i am in the process of liquidating them as the 6 watches I chose above meet all my needs and then some.
i hope you reach peace with yourself. happy discuss further if you keep things civil.

Quartz movements have a life expectancy of about 10 years, probably less due to an effective ban on lead soldering. Newer quartz movements are not designed to be repairable. You can reasonably expect to be able to get NOS movements/parts through non-official channels for another 10 years or so. It won't serve you for a lifetime. It will have very limited resale value. It won't become a heirloom. It's disposable.
Even entry-level swiss mechanical movement (other than Powermatics) are repairable and should be functional for 150+ years.

Thanks, this is helpful. I have a few quartz watches that are 20+ years old, someone warned me they will eventually die. Can a watchmaker simply fit a movement like for like and it will function?

Depends on the model.
Manufacturers are usually required by law to provide functional parts for 10 years after discontinuing a model. With simpler analog quartz watches the official service center will swap in a newer generation movement with fitting measurements from the same manufacturer if available. Often without consulting the customer. If no comparable movement is available they'll refuse servicing the watch.
Good independent watchmakers will look at all available options and consult the customer.
>>17938026
>I have a quartz older than 10 years still running which proves you are nothing but a literal monkey

mine is gold, so it should be worth at least double that. but certainly under 10k.

true, except i inherited the 12. selling them off slowly. the reps give me joy, but also serve in helping me decide what i want to buy ultimately. only the daydate is pure fantasy and i admit i only wear it to work when on a leather strap. i will probably buy a calatrava and a submariner and be done with it.
>>17938032
sadly true for the most part. but i managed to sell a graham silverstone recently for over 2k. i have people interested in the corums, often getting questions and offers (albeit mostly lowballing). i have a corum bubble that is very popular, optimistic about selling that soon.

The market was non-existent for obscure 1980s stainless steel luxury.sports watches, too.

It's going to be $300-$400 more per routine service. Can expect to pay about $700-800 for a Submariner or Datejust for reference. It can get quite a bit more expensive with any chronograph if you break it somehow (normally it's water ingress)

Yeah but that literally only costs about $50 to make, it's easier to invent bullshit costs when it's a billion tiny little mechanical pieces.

What's the verdict? I'm thinking SOVL

>>17938162
>vintage inspired
Mechanical movements are an outdated tech that peaked in the 60s. The only reason to own a mechanical watch is for that retro feeling, which is fine considering how modern tech sucks. Therefore, every mechanical watches should be vintage inspired. In fact, mechanical watches that try to look modern and futuristic are cringe.
>affordable
Affordable is a good thing. I'm sure you own some affordable goods too anon. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of the things you own could be qualified as "affordable".
>luxury
Baltic isn't luxury.
>microshitter
For $850 you either get a Seiko or a "microshitter". I think microshitters are more fun and more interesting, and overall a better choice.

Based and true. Design peaked in mid 20th century, all is left is to refine it with modern technology and materials (like ceramics and sapphire).

That's basically all that's changed for the historical watchmakers in that time, though. Other than bezel and dial materials and using solid end link bracelets the submariner and GMT and even the explorer and datejust and most of the rest of the line are very clearly the same watches they always were.

A dressy leather strap model that combines classic and modern The thin case, which is less than 7 mm thick, is equipped with a high-precision quartz movement with a difference of ± 10 seconds per year. It is thin and fits well in the cuffs of shirts, and is a gorgeous design that is easy to match with suit styles. It is a royal dress watch with a beautiful milky white dial with nuances like porcelain. The crest mark on the dial and the design of the three Roman numerals give it just the right amount of personality. The simple and light case with a spacious cutout and narrow feet makes it a clean and timeless watch.

That's not how trademarks work. You usually get it for a specific product. You can't call your watch Air-King because Rolex would claim that a consumer would think they are buying a Rolex product. But you can name something unrelated the same thing. You can't come out with a phone and call it Apple but you can call thread brand Apple.

Hey repanon, can you listen to the ticking on your Sub? There should two sounds coming from it, the ticking and another sound. Something that goes along with the ticking, its best describe as either a dinging sound or hammering sound. I am curious on what a rep sounds like.

it sounds quite normal. the vsf sub is considered one the best in the game. it has a clone movement. people exchange parts with oem parts, creating frankenwatches.
miyota movements in the calatrava and breguet were noisy with their rotors in the beginning. now it only happens occasionally. these two are also very scratchy during setting. a thorough cleaning may solve that, but not sure if it is worth it. i will probably wait until there are some timekeeping issues.
