Rolex, Cartier and Patek are the only brands that matter. Everything else is a waste of time and money.

>>17938777
Jlc is better than a couple of names on that list.

>>17938779
JLC has one good watch (the Reverso). Everything else is boring or ugly. Irrelevant brand.
Also that Reverso is way too big for that wrist.

Rate my el cheapo pseudo-Tank. It’s a bit bigger on the wrist than I hoped but overall I really like it. Will probably replace the strap with a nice black leather one. £28 on Vinted.

>>17938783
It's just perspective my wrist is 7.3in

>>17938789
It's still too big and loud. The original Reverso was 38mm long, yours is 45mm. It's not elegant. It gives me the same vibe as a man wearing a dress and heels.
Pic related is a good fit for a Reverso. Dainty, discreet and refined, just like it's supposed to be.

>>17938864
If you look closer the disc that has the years written on it only goes to 2026 so it's going to be useless in 2 years so one way to fix that would be to give you an extra one with the years 2027 to 2038 on it.

I guess I really like the GMT complication. It's still useful to this day.

>>17938798
Many people buy a Reverso in a size that's too large for them.

>>17938953
It's because most of the modern Reversos offerings are too big. I don't think people understand how large square watches wear even if on paper they look small.

>>17938789
Lovely Rolex if it's real.

>>17938961
its a high end fake

>>17938960
The impressive, highly complicated Reversos are large, yes, but that's also largely unavoidable. Even the largest Reversos don't offer much space for a watchmaker to work in.

The rule of thumb when sizing a square/rectangular watch is to consider the diagonal, since that will be a rough spproximation to what the round equivalent would wear like.

>>17938964
Yet a basic Reverso tribute duoface is 47mm while a duoface tribute tourbillon is 45.5mm and a calendar tribute is 49. I think the larger watches must sell better because I just don't buy that they can't fit complications in the smaller cases because historically they have.

>>17938975
They've never made a different Duoface Tourbillon, have they? There's bound not to be much comparison.
They still make, the Reverso Classic in like four or five different sizes.

I don't doubt that the larger sizes sell better, though. Midsize is associated with boys' and women's watches.

>>17938971
Not yet. I don't know why. They are very friendly and if I ask them they will agree instantly.

>>17938989
Don't buy movements with a self-destructing timebomb movement, my nigga.

>>17938989
>Is powermatic 80 an accurate movement?
It can be. There are Powermatics that are sold with chronometer certifications.

They can also be adjusted by a watchmaker. It's a little bit more of a pain in the ass than an ETA 2824 but it's not impossible.

I look down on affluent anons who post pics of spotless, mint condition luxury watches.

Conversely, I think wealthy anons who post pics of their watches that they clearly wear on a day to day basis are certifiably based.

There was anon here a long time ago who owned the holy trinity and each of them had scratches and fucked up bracelets and worn out straps. He’s what we should aspire to be. What’s the point of owning anything if you’re not going to use it.

All of these are too big and look cartoonish.
The reason is easy to understand : people believe BIG WATCH = BIG DICK. It's the same reason why so many retards drive SUVs eventhough they live in large cities. It makes their lives absolutely miserable but they refuse to acknowledge it because they've been told so many times that BIG THING = BIG DICK.

Pic related is a 33mm round watch on an average man wrist. it looks ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and you can just tell how comfy it must feel on the wrist. Why would anyone want some something bigger is a mystery to me.

>>17938850

i will never understand this sentiment. it’s like saying “i think keeping track of time is useless”, which is fair, but at that point why are you even interested in watches at all.

A GMT is useful for an international pilot who thinks in UTC offsets and needs to know the local time at his destination.

For a guy who is on vacation, all he has to do is a little arithmetic, a GMT is unnecessary. A Hometime complication or even just a jumping hour hand like the Omega Globemaster is equally useful.

I'm deciding between a datejust and an op, and the biggest reason why I'm leaning op is because I think it would look less worse than the dj with a few scratches.

A Seiko srpk. I'd recommend the beige dial, it looks gorgeous in person.

>>17939077
>I'm deciding between a datejust and an op, and the biggest reason why I'm leaning op is because I think it would look less worse than the dj with a few scratches.
>what do you think?

Rolexes in general don't look bad when they're well-worn. They are tough watches, and a beat-up Day-Date is pretty cool because of the "I don't give a fuck" attitude of the wearer.

With regards to the Datejust, one with a smooth bezel and Oyster bracelet is basically just an OP with a date. A fluted bezel and Jubilee combination would probably get more beaten-up looking because of the soft gold, but then again how much damage do you do to your watches anyway?

>>17939082
32mm used to be a man's size

>>17939077
You can have both if you get an older Oyster Perpetual Date. It's a discontinued model and weren't that popular so you can find them for pretty reasonable prices.

>>17939077
>>17939097
>With regards to the Datejust, one with a smooth bezel and Oyster bracelet is basically just an OP with a date.
The modern 6 digits Datejust has a lot more polished areas (lugs and central links) than the OP. They look nice and shiny when they're brand new but I don't think these will age particularly well.
I'd go for an OP (green or blue) in 36mm, or an Explorer1. Cool little watch.

>>17939101
Yeah, times change, but you'll always be a faggot.

I mean most Rolex will have a ring kinda like a xylophone that reverberates throughout the case. A rep should have more of a cowbell type of sound that goes along with the ticking. I wonder if its true or can reps reproduce the xylophone sound.

What's the difference between this beautiful, minimalist, vastly overpriced watch and an exact replica you could get for about $200? Why do people pay that much?

>>17939186
Many professional sellers on C24 have physical stores. Just filter the results on Germany, find one near you and ask to try it.

>>17939203
There is no replica and even if there was it would not come close to the real thing. It's just like Lange - the reps are awful because if you could convincingly fake it then you'd be working for a high end watchmaker.

>>17939203
>exact replica
Handmade enamel, handpainted dial, handcrafted movement, handpolished case,... Each of those things can only be made by a pair of hands that belong to a person that has been doing that particular thing for a long time.

>I will miss the nightlife here. No matter when you go outside, 3AM on a sunday, it's full
Sounds boring as hell

>>17939212
There's also the economics of replica watches. To make a good one, you have to buy a real one and tear it apart.

The rep factories will only do that if they can assure themselves of enough sales to cover their initial investment in a quick enough time before the other rep factories create cheaper copies of the first replica. Not enough people want one.

That's usually the answer to the question of "Why isn't there a good/any replica of X?"

>>17939212
>>17939218
Replica was the wrong word - what's the value gained in buying that watch instead of a *similar looking*, minimalist watch? People in the know (watch hobbiests) act like the difference between an expensive watch and a well made, cheap watch is night and day but 99% of people a) won't know the difference or know any brand but Rolex and b) won't be staring at your wrist closely enough to tell even if they did know.

>>17939228

>>17939228
>what's the value gained in buying that watch instead of a *similar looking*, minimalist watch?

Personal satisfaction. That's about it. You know how special the thing on your wrist is and that's good enough for you. In some cases, it can be an investment, though with Seiko that's not typically the case.

Whoretadello is rich as fuck, he makes around $1500-$2k a day. I talked to him earlier about his detailing business, he does things like wraps and ceramic coat all by himself so.

Cost for materials are at most $1k, then the client pays $3-5k depending on the car. Some clients pay 10k if its something nice like a Ferrari.

if he was making $2k a day he would have bought the eichi instead of the cope version.

I disagree, they make slim and small watches too and, contrary to patek and other brands in that price range, Lange doesn't slack off to its entry level models. They are all finished and cared for with the same quality and love for the art.

Are you not paying taxes? where does your money go? I make $142,000 per year and I guarantee that I pay far fewer taxes than you do in Germany. Additionally, I’m married and my wife makes about $130,000, so my household income is quite high.

We don’t have children. We have a mortgage and a loan on a car that we’re paying off with ease (Toyota SUV). With our combined income, after all bills and investments, our budget is healthy but not healthy enough for me to just buy a shit ton of expensive watches and luxury cars.

Something about you doesn’t make sense and I can’t put my finger on it.

>Top cities around the globe, including London, Paris and Los Angeles, have seen a massive uptick in high-end watch robberies in the last year, many of which are violent.
Why not in Toky-
Oh that's right.

>>17939298
Looks white to me.

>>17939278
My current most expensive watch is a Baume and Mercier Capeland, roughly $5,000, and I can't bring myself to wear it day to day. Might be because this city is a little on the rough side but I'd kick myself if anything happened to it. Can't imagine wearing anything more expensive regularly unless a man lived in a very wealthy, secure, gated part of Beverly Hills or such.

I mean I get your point, you only live once. But every time I get money I'd rather just put more into the principal of the house. I honestly just want to stop paying rent/mortgage. I know after mortgage there's still insurance and property taxes but that should be negligible compared to principal and interest.

The most hilarious part about all of this is for living in the freeist country in the world you don't really feel free. Like my other home in Thailand, I just paid $90k cash, in a decent area in Bangkok. And property taxes is like $300/year. After that I only pay for electricity.

Here in the US my property taxes is $12k/year and insurance is 1.7k/year because I live in LA.

People would be amazed at the jobs some very wealthy people have. Contractors can get big, salemen of absolutely anything can make 300k+, then there's people who own a business doing anything at all can eventually get pretty profitable. Or they can just sell to a bigger corp and retire early off that one fat cash payment. People's stereotype's of wealthy jobs are pretty limited

Nah they are very strict there. Touching the girls is extremely taboo and forbidden. And without speaking Japanese, you can forget it. 9 out of 10 people there don't speak english. (Obviously no one speaks german or greek either for that matter) So I am kinda managing with my extremely bad japanese. If you get the number of the girl, then it's up to you how you manage it, but they will contact you too, asking you if you want to visit today and stuff.
If you can take her out on a date, then you're on a decent path to get something more out of it.
About sex though, it finds you, you don't have to look for it. It costs ¥20K for 40 mins but so far they let me stay until I finish. If it's 1 hour or 2, don't matter. Maybe because my dick ain't 4 inches? Don't know. Mandatory showering first, too. Which I find pretty nice.
Girls bar = Not Sex. It's a lot more wholesome. Karaoke, drinking, pictures etc. Kawaii shit like omelette with smiley.

Nobody can hold a candle against me, i am the poorest here by far. Currently my account balance is 3€ and i have 150 in cash at home (a single room i rent). I have no car, i can't even afford a drivers license. My most valuable posessions are about 1,5k worth of watches, most i couldn't even sell, and about 50 vinyls. My mother lives in a house that cost her 23k and she can also barely make it through the month on her pension. Nobody itt knows what being actually poor means.

Whoretadello is a detailer, when I had my Tesla ceramic coated I was charged $2500. If I wanted a wrap I would have to pay $6k. This shit included:

-paint correction
-clay baring(I can probably do this myself but the cost was negilible)
-clear coat touch up/thicken
-ceramic coat

Good detailers make a shit ton of money, they only need to do 2 cars are day and that's an easy 5k that day.

What's important is bro is living his best life, traveling the world going where ever the fuck he wanted to go. I truly envy him.

>>17939324

It ranges from 2000¥ to 3000¥ per hour for the girl. I got two today for the price of one. It's not a bad deal to hang out with cuties while you drink.
Problem is, there are simply far too many girls bars. Not only in Kabukichō, but everywhere in tokyo's big districts (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro--).
Now why do people pay for that? I don't know. Literally why would you want to talk to a woman? If this was germany or greece, I would've never considered paying to talk to these women. I do it for the experience and practice. Why it's so popular in general, that I don't know. Plus, I am always, Always the one foreigner. When I ask if it's rare they tell me yes, maybe once per month. And greeks, I am the only one.

>>17939382
People seem to find a certain level of happiness no matter their situation. Miserable guys are depressed when they're poor and when they're rich. Happy men are happy in either situation too. Money definitely solves a lot of problems but at it's core it won't make you happy. Find happiness in other ways, fix your life, then worry about the money.

Nothing actually, except be more serious about learning Japanese. I can't stress enough how few people speak english hers.
Next visit will be during golden week, end of april. There we (brother, friend and I) will be visiting Kyoto and Osaka. This time I will spend it only in Tokyo and Kanazawa. But that depends for how long I will stay. Maybe I'll stay until March now (visa runs out in March). I am planning to leave though in a few weeks.

>>17939367
Yeah honestly it sounds like dude is some kind of drug mafia, they never want to explain what exactly they do.

That's actually pretty good TBQH. I bought a watch from Helm with an NH34. It is 30 seconds a day fast now I think its a minute fast.

I think it just tells us that microbrands are shitters, the NH34A they used are supposed to be regulated before they close the caseback on a watch since they all come unregulated. I tried to open the back but I think they fucking superglued it on to get the 300m water resistance and my cheap Amazon watch kit just isn't strong enough to open it.

TL;DR - don't buy microbrands.

I was looking to buy a 1st gen Aqua Terra but most of them are not in the best condition. If the watch is basically a water proof closed environment - where do the scratches on hands and indices come from? Also, can scratches on the case be polished out? I would assume not, elso the sellers would do this before listing the watch?

>>17939438

Watch head is nice enough but, I swear to Christ, the Japs have no idea how to make a good looking strap. Their gator skin always looks plasticky and fake. I don't know what process they use.

Neither one posts pics of their watches too often.

ALS Anon has an ALS, of course, then a Cartier, Panerai, Speedmaster, Homos and a couple others. Apparently he hates his collection and wants to reduce it down to one huge "fuck you" piece.

Reverso anon has a Reverso, of course, and a Rolex, a Fifty Fathoms, and a Piaget and some others.
