Gotta admit I kek'd at the edition.

>>17939528
>The watch itself looks pretty generic IMHO. I mean from a design perspective I don't know how that's different from this $100 watch.

This. The Eichi that it's a cope version of is impressive because of the workmanship, not the design itself.

I'm off frens, stay safe, stay hydrated.

Looking for a new ceramic insert in blue and purple for this aliex shitter, think it would be kino. It’s a good watch but I never wear it anymore since I got my Tissot and Omega.

You WILL pay the Patek tax and you WILL be happy.

>>17939543
I don't even think the Eichi looked any good. For a similar priced watch you can get a Calatrava or Traditionnelle with multilayered dials using exotic materials.

>>17939596
I think a lot of the Eichi hype is because of the Dufour connection.

>>17939601
Well he didn't actually make the watches. Seiko just hired him to instruct their own guys in watch finishing techniques.

>>17939573
I got the same feeling when I wanted a Cartier. After looking into it for a while you start to realize that
>modern Cartier is mostly shit
>the real good stuff starts at 15k, and even for that kind of money you get very basic watches
Thank God there is Rolex. Just get a Datejust, Explorer or Submariner and you'll be happy. Honestly if Rolex didn't existed I wouldn't even wear a watch.

The only detail i feel they could improve on is to cap the seconds hand.

>>17939601
afaik he outsources the cases, dials and hands.

>>17939608
I kinda feel the same way, Omega and Cartier seems to have a bunch of QC issues even on the exhibition models. I know Rolex is doing their insane QC only to curb counterfeit, so I think people making SCs are doing us a favor keeping Rolex in check. Making =/= Selling as real though, the people making these watch openly advertise that they're selling fakes.

>>17939628
I guess people have differing taste.

>>17939631
Still looks better than Credor.

>>17939631
He does. He's never concealed that fact. He concentrates on the movements.

>>17939640
At least hes being honest, i can respect that.

>>17939634
Watchmakers that are owned by 'groups' turn me off in general:

>>17939653
Well it's a swatch.

>>17939605
due to arrive tomorrow, I'll report back

>>17939653
Seiko is actually quite good at printing tiny stuff, they spawned Epson after all. Movements and alignment on the other hand...

>>17939555
???

>>17939653
It's their most basic Omega that just tells the time. How much does Seiko want for their shitty watches now a days?

>>17939549
Just buy the vintage one, it's actually cheaper and has a better movement.

>>17939555
In case you're confused, that watch does not use the 6R movement.

This is THE watch period

>>17939533
What a beautiful timepiece sir! Can I have the exact reference number pot favor?

>>17939664
How so? Isn't the 6L35 better than the old 56XX series of movements?

>>17939608
>Just get a Datejust, Explorer or Submariner and you'll be happy.
But I really want a Calatrava. I would have got a 96 if servicing was feasible and they weren't 32mm. It's also really hard to find one with a hobnail bezel too

Let me guess, you NEED more?

>>17939668
Isn't it captain marvel for your capeshit crossover watch?

>>17939651
>Watchmakers that are owned by 'groups' turn me off in general:

>>17939676
Technically Rolex is trying to be a conglomerate, but its going to take time. Most of the time its the AD that are sleazy.

>>17939668
5740Cs are pretty nice.

>>17939681
why does seiko feel the need to ruin every dial with useless stuff? Wether it's LORD MARVEL, "dolce" or a penis, they always have to come up with some shit don't they

T. Certified superlative submariner chronometer rotor self winding enjoyer

>>17939669
ar3010

Why does Seiko refuse to do factory calibration and chronometer certification anymore? As seen by people doing it themselves it's not like the movements can't perform like that when regulated. So why not do it themselves?

>>17939696
The answer is always money

>>17939696
Idk it doesn't make any sense. At this point it makes them look very sloppy and lazy, if they don't get their act together soon they will ruin their brand.

>>17939699
Credor is a perfect example of this:

>hires some famous swiss watchmaker
>he has his own design language
>doesn't listen to him
>no, this is wrat we want your do it rike this
>he takes the check but ultimately says fuck this
>doesn't endorse the watch
>comes out looking like a Daniel Wellington

>>17939699
>make better movements or at least regulate them
>fix your bracelet game
>drop the Hardlex and use strictly sapphire
>better QC
There, i just fixed Seiko.

>>17939709
Cartier uses mineral glass, nothign wrong with them.

>>17939706
>>he has his own design language
>>doesn't listen to him
That's a good thing if you ask me. They should do their designs but use his techniques.

>>17939709
There really is not much of a need for much better movements, when regulated many of them are great. They just retardedly don't.

>>17939706
>>doesn't endorse the watch
He praises them actually.

>>17939711
There's absolute something wrong in using mineral crystals for a "luxury" watch.

>>17939718
They dont use them in anything above cocktail time. They should drop it alltogether, sapphire isn't that expensive anymore.

>>17939716
Wait he put his name on it? Where? Last I recall he is supposed to sign the movement but he never did.

>>17939714
I don't think there's anything wrong with Seiko movements, especially their Spring Drive. Why did they hire him in the first place?

What are the best brands in the €100-€300 range? Something between Casio and Tissot.

>chronometer certification
Who would certify their chronometers? They'd have to get the Japanese government to set up their own agency to do so. COSC is only for the Swiss. The Germans have their own too.

You can't just say "chronometer" on the dial. It's a legal designation.

>>17939746
>Is long jeans really that good at the price point or is this another case of internet watch nerd hype?
Some of their watches are very decent and well-made for the money.

How difficult is it to be allocated a green bezel submariner? Are they pretty coveted? I don't get why they don't actively make it in more colors, don't you think people would flip their shit if they made subs more available in blue and purple and red and shit?

>>17939781
>You can say Chronometer no problem, you just say can't it is officially certified.
No. You cannot call it a chronometer at all without that certification. The "Superlative officially certified" stuff is just extra text Rolex put on there to make it seem more impressive. You can choose the other text but "Chronometer" or "Chronometre" are reserved words.

Before doing the master chronometer thing, Omega, for example, just put "Chronometer" on their dials but they were put through the exact same tests as the Rolex or Breitling Chronometers.

In Seiko's case, they were selling watches that matched the chronometer standards but hadn't been certified by a third party. It's no different than me telling you I can run a 10 second 100m dash and when you ask for proof, I tell you to just trust me.

>>17939768
The problem with Greubel Forsey and de Bethune is that they are so complex that if you aren't a serious watch nerd you won't even know what you're looking at. In fact even if you are a serious watch nerd you probably won't know what you're looking at.

It's probably not actually an issue since I'm sure they only make ~100 watches a year but it's very funny that they are so off into outer space that the average person (even the average watch enthusiast) is wondering wtf they are doing with any given piece. The autism is so concentrated in those two brands it's unreal.

>>17939792
>The autism is so concentrated in those two brands it's unreal.
Based to be honest.

>>17939789

Step aside. I have arrived.

>>17939795
>>17939789
Blue is probably gonna be worth more in a few years because its more unique.

>>17939789
Both are boring as hell, but the black has the quality of being the most boring version of the most boring watch ever made, so I'd go for it.
If you're going for the blue version, get the Oceanus T200. At least it is fine at keeping time.

>>17939797
If you're thinking about watches in terms of value retention, the only two brands are Rolex and Patek.

Weekend OT

For people who has a box full of 30K+ watches, what cars do you drive? Don't these watches have similar maintenance cost to a 911? To me if I'm going to pay $2k a year to maintain something might as well make that something able to get me from point a to point b.

>>17939816
2018 Honda

>>17939819
>check out my 30k Rolex
>rolls up in a late model fucking Civic
I would automatically assume its fake.

>>17939816
Toyota Corolla. I literally don't care about cars. This one is simple, reliable and gets good mileage. (I do have a collection of Ducati and MV Agusta bikes, though.)

In terms of the maintenance cost of watches, it's not that bad. If you have a rotation of watches, then you actually make the service interval longer, since you're not wearing them as much.
Also, you only need to get a watch serviced once it starts running poorly.

>>17939816
Cars are a decreasing asset with high yearly maintenance. most high end watches will increase if purchased at the correct price. The service costs are not bad and only occur every 4 to 10 years.

>>17939822
Eh it's white gold not trying to be flashy & no one notices the watch anyway.

>>17939826
Try this buy this car right now for $6490 which is the price it was sold for in 1987.

>>17939829
I'd just assume its fake based on the car you are driving and your clothes.

>>17939816
2016 Lexus GS-F (which I bought used). You're vastly overestimating service costs on watches, you're not going to get that badly dinged unless you flood a perpetual calendar or something equally retarded.

>Nah, most people wearing real watches are dressed conservatively.
No they're not. When you're lounging around in sweatpants you don't think, "No, it would be inappropriate to wear a Cartier right now. Time for my shitty-clothes Timex."

>>17939843
>Is it in blue???
No I got it in black which was a mistake. I was looking for one in blue or orange but there were (and are) vanishingly few for sale and the only blue ones I could find had a vomit inducing bright red interior. I've had it since 2017 and it has been a great car but I'm going to trade it in for something a little more sporty in the next year or so as long as I refrain from any insane watch purchases.

>>17939860
I'm in sweat pants right now, all of my watches are in the safe lol. IDK what the guy is talking about. If a see a perfectly dressed man even if they had on a rep Rolex I would assume its real. If a guy dressed like he's homeless say their 30k Rolex is real then I'd assume he's out of his mind on meth.

How do I refrain from spending my entire networth on collecting watches?

>>17939877
>How do I refrain from spending my entire networth on collecting watches?

Unironically, get an Apple Watch. It's so useful you'll find yourself wearing it most days and a big watch collection will become unimportant.

The old trio of: sports watch, daily watch, dress watch
has been replaced with: beater watch, smartwatch, fuck you watch.

For example,
a Seiko, an Apple Watch, and an ALS Datograph.

>>17939882
I am old enough not to care. A flannel and comfortable shoes is enough effort.

>>17939883
I'm cool with this combo for now but I have a company Christmas party coming up and really wish I had something more dressy. The Rolex is more of an everyday do anything watch.
Something like a leather Cartier Santos or Reverso Duoface. Maybe next year.

>>17939803

>>17939896
A gold Santos-Dumont would complement that duo nicely, or a Piaget Altiplano.

>>17939916
My next watch I want to be able to customize. So yea maybe a stainless Dumont since it tend to go well with a lot of bands. Next year I'm expected to get my 10 year longevity pay as well as a bonus, plus I haven't been stopping my tax withholdings all year so I am expected a pretty good size tax refund in 2024. So maybe a VC Traditionelle but I would probably wait for a blue or slate dial in white gold.

Anyone know if VC are going to be dicks like AP or Patek? This is their most entry level watch, I don't see why they would be holding out on it. Then when I retire probably a Rose Gold DD or 222 as a fuck you watch.

>>17939926
No, with VC you'll be fine unless you want an Overseas or 222.

>>17939930
I want a 222. How much are they expecting you to buy? I was hoping the Traditionelle would get my foot in the door.

>>17939933
An entry level Traditionelle won't even get you in the same zip code

>>17939933
>I want a 222. How much are they expecting you to buy? I was hoping the Traditionelle would get my foot in the door.
Oh, sorry. I meant like, if you want basically anything but the 222 or Overseas with zero purchase history, you'll be fine. If they don't have stock, they'll source one for you. They're not fuckers. They want your business.
With a 222, you'll have to probably be a prior customer or go on an endless waiting list. That watch is popular, but being a prior customer will definitely help your cause.

>>17939939
Ahh okay, cool. I've already bought a few watches at this boutique since they sell more than VC. A Tudor Pelagos 39 and >>17939896.

I'm interested in 1980s/1990s luxury sports watches.
Everyone knows about the Cartier Santos and Panthere.
Fewer know about the others like the Chopard St. Moritz or Piaget Upstream.

They're ugly, but I think they're an interesting part of watch history at a time when the industry was bottomed out.

Make way for the king, plebs. What more do you need.

>>17939967
The 6L movement seems good enough and certainly outperforms claimed stats, but I still wish they'd have put an even higher frequency movement in it. Even if that means a higher price.

Guys, do AD sell fakes? Like what's stopping them from doing this? I'm loving my watch but right now I'm kinda suspicious, should I go bcak and ask them to open it? Why is my purchase experience so different than the ones I see online?

>>17940036
I got the green box, but at the time the box was empty. She said the box and the watch ships separately which sounded fishy as fuck. The watch itself came in a plastic case like one of those fakes you buy from China. The only thing in the case was a warranty card and the watch. I asked if I can keep the plastic case and she refused. She also removed all of the plastic covers.

I have to admit defeat here. The shinkansen shits all over the ICE in germany.

>>17940040
As weird as it sounds most brands ship watches and boxes separately.

Believe it or not but the Rolex green box are not made in Switzerland. If I were to guess a country of origin it would be either Mexico or Thailand. Not China since they basically would just copy them.

The watches are usually shipped on these clear plastic case with just the watch and warranty card.

>>17940240
It's a favourite and a reissue of a classic. If you have the chance to get it for like, a flat 1000, definitely get it. But even at msrp it's good if you ask me. It's well liked for a reason.
However, if you want a real Seiko-ass Seiko watch that screams "Seiko", something like the Willard (pic related) would be more fitting. Though I do personally prefer the spb143 you're thinking about.

>>17940240
Are you already a watch guy is the question? Like is spending a thousand on a watch not a huge deal to you? If so then yeah good pick. But otherwise something cheaper, and admittedly lower quality, might be a better starting point.

If you're frequently flying for business, especially on a level where you have your own private plane, I imagine it's pretty close to a perfect watch. You have all the info you need to make out paperwork and plan your schedule and keep track of different time zones all on one watch.

>no, you don't understand, every brand HAS to make the same identical 5 watch lineup for 200 years.

>>17940289
>all the info you need to make out paperwork
The watch displays the date and the month, but NOT THE DAY. It's stupid and useless. How many times a year do you need to be reminded which MONTH it is? Do you have fucking Alzheimer or something?
>keep track of different time zones
This piece of shit of a watch can keep time of 2 timezones. The GMT Master II can keep time of 3 timezones thanks to the rotating bezel.

The Sky Dweller (what a fucking stupid name) is trying to solve a problem that no one has, ie telling you the month and a second timezone. Either make a calendar watch or a GMT watch, but something in between that gives you half of the informations you need.

Also it was released during one of the worst era for Rolex (the early 2010s) when everything had to be big and flash. The watch is 14mm thick and 42mm in diameter for fucks sake. What an embarrassment for Rolex this shitter is.

Unironically yes, an average rolex owner is just a few years away from alzheimers

It doesn't make any sense to have a month function without day function, you fucking idiots.

The worst thing is you can't change it because the endlinks are part of the case.

>>17940397
Strap change on a Rolex = Franken in their mind.

>>17940398
They're right.

>>17940402
They're wrong.
But tbqh Rolex is a business and they have just realized they can get away with Apple level bullshit because they're the Apple of watches. Simple as. 'meritards have no other option but to get a Rolex because social signalling is 99% of their culture.

is tudor really that bad? i think the BB54 looks cool

You like Rolex? Their early watches were a little too wonky for my taste. But when the GMT Master II came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and economically. The GMT II has a clear crisp Jubilee bracelet, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the watch a luxurious sports feel. Rolex has been compared to Omega, but I think Rolex has a far more refined and historical watch catalogue. In ‘54 Rolex released this; ref. 6204 Submariner, their most classic timepiece. I think it’s their best watch reference. A watch so classy, most people probably don't even use the watch for its intended purpose. But they should, because owning a luxury tool watch is not just about the pleasures of having a luxury item in your possession, it’s about the ability to use watch and have it withstand the test of time.

>>17940083
I agree. I'm super interested in the brand but unfortunately have never seen one in person (and maybe never will). Of course I can't afford one and even if I could I'm not so sure about the crazy lugs and how it would wear on my slightly smaller than average wrist, but if I won the lottery or business goes well there are several grail-worthy De Bethunes.

>is tudor really that bad? i think the BB54 looks cool

That all depends on what you think you're getting. Whether you think it's a cool watch is up to you; and you've already indicated you think it's cool.
You're getting a mostly well-built, mostly well-finished, watch for a reasonable amount of money. It's backed up by a reputable company so unlike a microshitter, the company will be around to service it.

It's not as good as a Rolex, but it's pretty close to Omega and about equal to Grand Seiko. Based on what it costs, then, it's kind of a bargain.

tl;dr: Tudor is appropriately placed on the BEST chart. >>17939538

posting anything on this website related to your real life is super gay, whether it’s watches or your faggy whore thread or whatever cope you need for the black hole of loneliness that encompasses both your soul and bank account. whoever this breitling fag is now belongs in the bottom echelons of transatars and indeed should kill himself asap for even bothering to post such a horrendous example of a timepiece

I just arrived in Kanazawa today afternoon. I saw a rolex store and something called W I N G. They have Breitling, tag heuer and omega.
But, the only brand that interests me is still Credor. And sadly there is none here nor in Ueno. They all told me "Wako". Again, if you want rolex/omega/VC/patek-- etc. You will absolutely find what you're looking for, it's true what they say and it's also very cheap.
I will go to pic related once I'm back in tokyo.

>>17940821

>>17940828
Unironically I think the bambino looks better than the Patek, the curved dial (or at least appearance of a curved dial) and crystal make it look more inviting. A shame the orient logo looks like the Marlboro logo

Lose the date, add a hand wound movement and Orient would be selling a shit load more of these. Not saying they aren't already selling quite well.

>>17940834
it's a VC not a patek but yeah the orient is kind of a no brainer at that price, I personally prefer the SS/cream dial but I used the gold one for the sake of the argument

>>17940836
I'd like one without the typical richemont heritage tax but none of the entry level brands even try to compete in this market or when they do it's not nearly as tasteful, I think a solid gold watch is totally doable at the 5-10k mark for a less reputable brand though
