>>17940869
i don't know what you're saying but i'm thinking it's based

Explain why Rolex is better than Omega when Omega has the co-ax escapement and Rolex does not.

>>17940879
Is that the new cartier santos de cope in a range of Reddit approved colors? Heckin sweet!

>>17940885
Looks less gay than the Santos though

>>17940882
Out the door your omega loses value because surprise surprise, despite all that you mentioned people still prefer to wear Rolex.

>>17940885
not sure, i just like the case shape with the raised parts and the running seconds

>>17940865
Why are you all hating on this guy? Breitling is a respectable Swiss brand and this guy actually contributes to the thread.

I like the look however

i'm a wristlet so my small swiss army head actually fits perfectly

I am still enjoying my airman thanks for asking

why do they think the skeleton hands look good?

I just catch an old video of Richard Hammond wearing a Reverso Squadra Chronograph

>>17940890
It’s fine but nothing special imo. The oem straps look nasty too

>>17940901
I was gonna say top but the bottom is plastic wrapped so idk

Top because the bottom still has plastic wrap on it

most based chad itt

>>17940905
It seems every brand either copies the Mercedes hands or has a seizure trying to be creative. I like the Hamilton murph hands

>>17940905
Becuase they do. 3d dial (and wave dial) along with skeleton hands are what make the speedmaster and seamaster more interesting than the Rolex counterparts

>>17940901
this again eh? they're both reps..
now fuck off

>>17940908
cant decide on the white or blue and then i was gonna swap the strap

How did he become so bitter? His shitty Breitling holds the answer.

>>17940885
Is it really a Cartier cope when it isn't much cheaper? That's like calling Orient a Seiko cope. If you can afford that Oris you should also be able to afford a Tank.

>>17940926
the only tank with running seconds hand has a long lug to lug which to me defeats the purpose of the tank. This oris lug to lug is only 38mm iirc which is just a tiny bit bigger than older tanks

'sup, my friends?

>Vacheron Constantin Phideas Chronometre Royale. (the 80s/90s successor to the 222 and precursor to the Overseas)
>Based or no?

Semi-based. It's from the 80s/90s so it will be very small compared to modern sizing. It wasn't a big watch even back then. I think it's like 33mm.
It's also from when VC just used JLC movements, so it's not in-house, but there were no in-house VCs at all until the mid-2000s when they started making their own movements.

It definitely looks like a watch from the 90s.

>>17940918
How so anon

need more?

>>17940947
Not yet, friend. In fact, since it already takes me over a month to do an entire rotation, I might not buy any more watches for a while.
I have taken a few more pics, but I still have to edit them from raw to jpg. Sorry about that.

There are 2 Cartier
>high horology stuff that is even more exclusive than Patek, done by actual watchmakers mostly by hands
This branch was formerly known as Cartier Paris Collection Privée, which is the original Cartier.
>industrial-made watches with third party movements (or "in house" versions of ETA movements)
This branch is pretty much a newer version of "Cartier Must", a brand that sold cheap gold plated shitters in the 70s to the plebs.

You may not like it, but the current Santos belongs to the later. I'm not saying it's a bad watch, but it's not a real Cartier.

>>17940929
How do you even wear watch like this without it stealing away all attention? I went to a barber the other day and he had Rolex. Nice watch but kind of too on the nose. You could go out in your pajamas wearing Rolex and it would leave same effect because watch sort of lives it's own and more interesting than you are. Is this right approach to wearing watches? Just going for the most impressive piece you can buy? Personally I feel like watches work better when they just mold into your entire appearance without causing too much distraction.

>>17940970
american or just poor?

>>17940973

>>17940970
Pocket watches make good desk clocks if you can stomach the loud ticking. I don't own one though and couldn't even imagine bringing one in public

>>17940974
>How do you even wear watch like this without it stealing away all attention?

Easy. Because basically no one knows what it is. Normal people know Rolex, Cartier (though even then mostly as a jeweler), and Apple. Casio and Seiko are the same brand to most people. Even many watch fans don't know ALS.

To them, it's just a gold watch with an odd-looking face. If he's dressed nice, they'll assume it's a nice watch. If he's dressed like a slob, they'll assume it's gold-tone.

>>17940979
>lets see your cartier
That's not a counterargument. >>17940973 is right. That's Cartier's history in a nutshell . In the 70s, they went from being a really exclusive jeweler, sort of like Graff is today, to selling to middle-class people.

>>17940974

>Your budget

>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone

Not much honestly. Hope you're doing fine.

>>17941042

Don't get the ceramic version. The 2500c movement is terminally flawed. It will just suddenly stop and will have to go to Omega for repairs.
Get one with a 2500d or 1120 movement.

>>17941047

>I think the PO looks better, too bad the PO is too thick.
1st gen PO isn't too thick. It was only 1mm thicker than the Seamaster Pro. After that, though, yeah, the PO got way too thick.

>>17941044
I don't mind it but what sold me is this is an older model with the higher beat frequency and the bracelet is pretty decent looking for the beadblast job it has. I almost never drink alcohol so I smoke instead.

How much can Rolex ask for servicing this badly damaged watch and wil they even accept it ?

-Crown is stuck
-Glass is scratched
-Perpetual movement still works (after heavy shake and then it's -300s/day)
-Watch has probably never been serviced since its been bought (1978)

>>17941236
You'll get absolutely fucked over with "servicing" this. Maybe some independent can do a decent job for the money, but Rolex will just rape you. Better off buying a more contemporary model.

>>17941236
they're going to come for your firstborn and the watch you get back will be frankenfucked anyway and have no "collector" value to rolex spergs

>>17941236
>How much can Rolex ask for servicing this badly damaged watch and wil they even accept it ?

A basic service is about 600 USD from Rolex Service. With the parts that would need to be replaced, count on spending another 600 USD or so. It should not cost more than 1500 USD to get it looking new again.

>>17941240

I don't wantro buy another Rolex this one is kind of a family heirloom.
>>17941241

Can't i just put instructions i the order like "just replace the glass"
"Replace the crown or fix it"
"Dissembly+US clean" and that's it ?

Why don't you just ask them?

>>17941250
>Can't i just put instructions i the order like "just replace the glass"

No, Rolex doesn't do that. You give it to them, and they will bring it back to 100% factory specs. If they can't do that for one reason or another, like parts don't exist anymore, they'll give you the watch back. They don't take special requests.

In your case, a 78 DJ is extremely common, so they'll have plenty of parts.

I would take it to a watchmaker with a Rolex account instead of the RSC where the odds of them doing something you won't like is very high.

>>17941267
Congrats that's the ugliest watch I've seen all month

>>17941269
>I would take it to a watchmaker with a Rolex account
Those practically don't exist anymore. The ones who do are 80 year old men. Rolex isn't giving indies parts accounts anymore.

>>17941273
I don't know where you live but I personally know of 6 independents in my city who service Rolex and frankly there are probably 4-5x that amount.

>>17941269
>where the odds of them doing something you won't like is very high.

I can only speak to my personal experience, servicing two Rolexes (one new, one from the 80s) and one Tudor. RSC is fine. The only problem I ever had was with the Tudor and that's because it took four months. (It was during the coof. That was their excuse.)

In terms of the work, I have never had any complaints. They're a lot more reasonably priced and work faster than most other brands' service. Servicing an Omega was more expensive. Servicing a JLC was both more expensive and took much longer.

>>17941269
Is there a list of them somewhere?
They seems difficult to find.

>>17941279
>I don't know where you live but I personally know of 6 independents in my city who service Rolex and frankly there are probably 4-5x that amount.
Do they actually have parts and tools accounts?

I know of one in my area. (Large city in Northeast US.) There's plenty of watchmakers around and any of them can work on a Rolex, but unless they actually have those accounts, they'll replace your Rolex parts with generic equivalents.

>>17941282
>Is there a list of them somewhere?
>They seems difficult to find.
Just open up the phonebook and start calling them. Ask them if they have a parts account with Rolex. If they say no, ask them if they know anyone who does.

>>17941284
>they'll replace your Rolex parts with generic equivalents.

This is exactly the problem. They'll turn your watch into a franken.
And if >>17941236 wants any of those scratches buffed out, Johnny Watchmaker will jam the thing against his buffing wheel until it's rounded smooth like a pebble. Those guys never know how to refinish a case.

>>17941288
>They'll turn your watch into a franken.
Rolex will do the exact same thing by replacing anything they don't like with whatever fits.

>>17941269
FYI, Rolex does not supply parts for 4-digit Rolexes anymore to independents anymore. They're stockpiling the parts for themselves. This comes from Nesbit's in Seattle, who does have a Rolex account.

So anon with the old DJ is fucked if he wants to go the indy route.

>>17941288
Since Rolex refuses to manufacture old parts it means every vintage Rolex will become a frankenwatch as the parts supply dries up more and more every year. So your choice is a frankenwatch or a non-working one since Rolex will just refuse to service it. They are a complete joke.

I feel like a lot of the guys talking about Rolex Service Centers ITT are just parroting horror stories they read on Rolexforums, not speaking from personal experience.

>>17941236

Hate to acknowledge the citizen faggot, but please get a different watch to take photos of. Doesn't have to be crazy.

What makes you think that? The fact that he went on vacation alone and has been posting in every single /wt/ since? Clearly there are no IRL friends that would appreciate a check-in from Japan.

Among our major avatarfags, I daresay Whoretadello might be the loneliest.

what are some COMMON but GOOD vintage pocket watch movements I should get? I want to service one just to see how it compares to servicing normal wristwatch movements

thinking about 50-100 bucks and 'needs repairs' in the decription

Anon why so mad just buy a Hamilton and chill out

Does anyone on this qeer website actually own a watch?

Thinking I want something sorta stealth wealth under 100 kinda leaning towards seiko 5 and omega. Any recomendations? I had a timex explorer had a loud tick.

>>17941391
100... dollars?

>>17941390
hey a Cartier Sant-oh, it's just a Must de Cartier.

>>17941210
This also interested.

>>17941390
The reason why you can't afford a Rolex is because you smoke. 2 packs a day at 10 bucks a pack and in a year you can afford a Rolex. So fucking grim for smokeniggers

>>17941160
You have exquisite taste and I love that you have love for the fatherland.

What do you recommend please and thank you.

When are companies going to stop doing this fake patina thing?
I wonder if we'll ever look back on this and cringe

>>17941404
I like it.

>>17941404
>When are companies going to stop doing this fake patina thing?
Probably. Eventually, vintage, military-inspired blah-blah-blah will go out of fashion. We might start seeing different colors of lume.

>I wonder if we'll ever look back on this and cringe
Sure. 70s style boxy watches were considered gross until they were all the rage. The smooth, rounded, techno-organic shapes of the 90s look dreadful right now, but they'll come back in some form.

>>17941416
>The smooth, rounded, techno-organic shapes of the 90s look dreadful right now, but they'll come back in some form.
Hopefully not.

>>17941429
If 80s two-tone can come back, anything can come back.

I should just buy an OP and stop worrying about watches

>>17940865
Thoughts on the v2 bambino? I think it's nice for the price

>>17941445
>I should just buy an OP and stop worrying about watches
Yes, you should. Or you could get a 114200 Air King, which is an OP with a different dial. Those can be had for under 5k USD. Last watch you'd ever have to buy.

For me it'd have to be one of the vertical brushed ones.

>>17941210
Bumping this,

I recently discovered the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba (their naming system is so retarded btw) and really like the look of it. Seems pretty nice, dial is fairly unique/not a blatant rip off of more expensive dive watches, and good size at 40mm (cheap dive watches are always like 43mm). Decent price too. However I see it gets lots of hate in various places, why is that? I’m assuming it’s a regular Hamilton used movement which is pretty nice, price is okay, so why all the hate? Lots of YouTubers making reviews saying this is the most hated watch or whatever. Am I missing something?

>>17941886
idk, for me seeing "hamilton" on a diver just feels wrong

>>17941886

Any opinions on buying from Japan on eBay? I generally avoid buying on eBay from outside the US (Europe is okay depending on country but shipping is gay as fuck). Seems to be lots of resellers from japan

>>17941891
Don't you have import taxes in there?

>>17941895
Not sure, I don’t think I’ve ever bought from outside of the US for watches at least so no idea how the taxes work

>>17941897
Maybe look into it yourself more before you ask here.
To answer your question, yes, Japan has deals, but the taxes will fuck you over if you don't pay attention what you're buying.

>>17941686
Klonoa

>>17941899
Not interested in taxes anon was moreso asking about quality, are sellers generally reliable or do they sell Frankenstein watches/shit that doesn’t work. I know for used cameras there’s some hesitancy people have before buying from there in case stuff doesn’t work, wondered if this applies to watches

>>17941905
In my experience they're reliable and will try to show any potential faults in the product in their listings. Communication may be difficult with English in most cases. Haven't bought anything except a couple of vintage watches myself.

>>17941880
Really like the dial there too, but I prefer more awesome polish, rather than the lumed hands.

>>17941908
I didn't even notice the hands have lume, i was so focused on the dial. At first i wanted to post the silver one, vertical brushed dials are kino.

Did i mention vertical brushed dials are kino?

I'd recommend looking into vintage digital watches. There's an anon here who recently got a Hamilton Pulsar

>>17941730
>>17941731
how thick is it?

>>17941983
he has 16.5 cm wrists

>>17941987
even smaller id say

>>17941972
I used to have a pulsar led was great but the led digits don't last forever. I got a replacement that worked a while but the last digit was never visible. I'm open to other ideas.

>>17942025
a914, m929.

>>17941965
Thank you this and I think the 5s are what I was looking at. Appreciate the help as I'm doing research.
>>17941972
I've had a few Casio and pulsar like I mentioned. I'll look into this might be fun to buy 2.

Is this kinda what you were hinting at.

>>17942030
Thank you appreciate ideas they make the research much easier.

From marketing perspective, dive watches are considered the most "tool" because in the past there was a direct connection between a dive watch and the diver's life. Are there any other such examples of watch "styles", besides maybe G-Shocks?

>>17942052
Was gonna say G-Shock, but you stopped me.
Field watches are next I'd say.

>>17942055
I know it's a pointless question so I appreciate the reply. I feel like pilot watches are higher than field watches in this regard as navigational tools. There is no direct connection between the watch and the wearers life though, even if nobody uses dive watches for diving anymore. I just wonder what kind of watch would have the same connection in the future. Maybe chronographs timing astronauts spacewalks? Apple Watch can save a life too come to think of it

>>17942068
Apple watch saving lives is in the same category as Gshocks though I feel. After all there's those Gshocks modules with Bluetooth and heartbeat tracking functions etc

>>17942068

Rolex is such a nigger brand lmao

My favorite Rolex of all time is the white gold GMT Master 2 with blue dial but it begs the question. Would you rather have a Rolex over a prestige brand like Patek ALS or Vacheron? It's a hard question for me.

>>17941236
Send it to a watchmaker that knows what he's doing, he'll probably fix it up for somewhere between 400 and a thousand monetary units.

>>17942092
What do you mean "over"? Just because I can buy an Explorer (a Rolex I'd enjoy) or maybe a GMT Master 2 doesn't mean I have the financial stability that would allow me to sensibly spend money on a new 222.

>>17941486

>>17941622
>BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT BRAND

What's your favorite then, anon?

>>17942095
a white gold GMT is $40k+

At least it isn't casio

but that spring drive is crazy, i'll give them that

It isn't unless you ice it heavily and ruin it, so they're alright

Ive been hearing AP and RM mentioned more in verses too, and it's likely gonna be the same rule
