Nobody gives a a shit about your broke ass watches, and it's called horology, fucc-child.

>it's called horology
>citizen and seiko neckbeards

Let me guess you think of yourself as an oenologist because you have an opinion on Yellow Tail Reserve?

>>7462700
Well that is the term for it, regardless of price. I don't care about quartz pieces, but grand-seiko's are very good watches.

All my watches have Swiss made movements.

A watch isn't JUST a movement. The case, crystal and band for fossils and all affiliated brands are absolute shit. The indicators fall off the face, and a lot of them arrive from the factory defective.

Citizens however, do not.

That's why I only buy Patek.

>>7462579
>implying all fashion watches use miyota movements and not cheap chinese knockoffs

I agree with your overall sentiment though. What is worse is the faggots that claim that their shitty budget mechanicals are much better than some quartz watch purely because it is mechanical.

They don't get that one day they're gonna have to have their crappy collection serviced and for that price you might as well have bought a new shitty mechanical budget watch.

Glashutte master race reporting in.

Sorry, I have a phone so I don't need a watch.

>>7463140
Glashutte is overhyped shit. I have one and my Citizen is better.

>tfw watches are the new fedoras for people under the age of 35, or people who aren't day traders, doctors, or lawyers

i paid a buck thirty for my Swiss movement

>>7463191
>A Lange & Sohne
>Glashutte Original
>Nomos Glashutte

All top-tier in house movements each with their own unique design style. Nomos has got a lot of hype lately, but for a reason.

>>7462579
Calvin Kleins are made by Swatch you retard. You could have tried to pick a good examples.

Fossils on the other hand are built like shit. If you have ever held watches of different calibers you'd know the movement is only half the story. I have one have one watch that cost 600$ and has 10$ ISA quartz in the inside (despite of the price, the movement is accurate and incredibly reliable). Propably also my favourite watch among all the automatics and hand wounds.

>>7463232

an accurate quartz watch? someone call the Vatican!

>NO JEWELS
lol, i agree with yuo tho

no one will know if the watch is even working. always go for looks

>>7463252
There are indeed huge differences among quartzes too. From cheap China movements to something crazy like Citizen A660 (not taking movements that update from external source like radio signal into account).

>Buying quartz
>Ever

>>7463284
>$600 watch
>A660

lol nope

All of you are who are seriously arguing about this are fucking retarded. I have a watch I bought in Ukraine for the equivalent of $10, it obviously says quartz on the front and some of the lines don't even line-up properly... Yet! I get compliments on it all the time, like Omega/Rolex equivalent number of compliments. Expect people to not know shit guys.

there is nothing worse than watchfags. and i don't mean people on /fa/, i mean rich people who actually spend ludicrous amounts on watches. it just goes to show how shitty the human race is. they'll spend a million on a watch that does the same thing a $10 watch does. that does the same thing their cellphone does, and not even as efficiently. yet the world is in shambles, people are starving, government is corrupt, mother nature is hurting. but thank god the spent a million dollars on a watch with ZERO EXTRA FEATURES THAN WATCHES THAT ARE 1000 TIMES CHEAPER

why do people buy luxury cars when they could be driving bikes
why do people buy gourmet food when they could be eating mcdolans
why do people buy mansions when they could be living in boxes
why do people buy designer clothes when they could be wearing walmart

You may wish to look into the writings of Peter Singer if you want to put your money where your mouth is.

You're probably just a whiner though, and will continue to spend money on recreational drugs that support brutal criminal gangs, and buy your shitty cell phones that cause misery in coltan mining regions, and so forth.

First off, quartz movement watches are always more accurate than mechanical, always, no exceptions. When someone purchases a true luxury timepiece they are paying for luxury and craftsmanship. Citizen is garbage, along with most other “quasi-luxury” brands, including most fashion house watches. True luxury brands are a work of art and quickly become family heirlooms. That being said, a quality mechanical movement can still be found for a very reasonable price with brands such as Oris and Hamilton. If true luxury watches interest anyone here I recommend Vacheron Constantin, very high quality and arguably unique in heritage.

NOBODY NEEDS A FUCKING WATCH, YOU FUCKING AUTISTIC FUCKS. THIS IS SERIOUSLY STUPID FUCK.

>>7465916
Nobody needs shorts over their tights either.
No-one needs $300,- white leather tennis shoes
Nobody needs art on their walls

It's so weird that this discussion always pops up when it's about watches and never when it's about phones or cologne etc.
Why don't you guys understand that someone would like something beautiful on their wrist, that's also handcrafted by someone with the greatest attention to detail.

tldr; fight me irl

>>7465916
I need a watch because I work in retail and can't use a phone and you're a piece of shit kill yourself immediately

I have a Tissot. It looks pretty.

expensive watches are for shitlords
i know someone who has a 5k omega and he doesnt even use it to check his time, he uses his iphone

m8 u r defo asspained and no1 cares anymore about ur plight

good watches are nice almost like jewels and nicer cars
its like shitting on people with expensive/faster cars than ur 1984 ukraine box ,theyre able to see and enjoy the benefits of that more than getting from A to B
stick to ur ded battery iphone and chill

>>7466770
i know someone at work with a patek and the only pussy he gets is from his wife

whats the point of spendingall taht and not getting teen pussy

>>7466845
Just a guess, but he gets paid more than you, doesn't he?

why buy new mechanical watches when you can get something like this for like 30-40$ and it works perfectly

>>7467041

Autism: The Thread

>>7467079

This board is full autism lately. I don't know what's worse, this thread or the one about altering your voice.

not sure whos trolling who at this point, but i fucking love a good watch, and find the anti-watch crowd on /fa/ hilarious

>>7463207
U wot m8? Having a watch is normal, having a pocket watch is fedora-like.

where does one buy a legit miyota os10 or whatever movement

ID on old Longines?

>>7467578

There are books on that kind of topic. Try amazon.

>>7467484

Yes, ugly. Not as bad as the AP Royal Oak, but getting close.

If it had the Rolex name on it, you guys would be shitting all over it and calling a nigger watch.

>>7467616
By the same people that swear by "non-tacky" brands like seiko and iwc.

>>7463777
Definitely relate. I received no compliments on my IWC mark IV, Omega Seamster, Cartier Tank. Yet my Japanese seiko sarb 031 gets compliments all the time.

>>7467634
>brands

Exactly my point. You see watches in terms of the brand, and not the specific model. I get it, you know PP is expensive. That doesn't excuse ugly aesthetics.

>>7467676
That's completely subjective that you think its ugly, but i'm sure your seiko xx007 is beautiful.

>>7467696

I don't have any seikos. My daily wearer is a very old (WW2 era) Rolex.

>>7467700
Bet that goes great with your fedora. Did you purchase it at the Jcrew mens store?

>>7467707

No, also you are getting desperate.

I bet you took off that classless metal bracelet too.

>>7467769

Why do people wear the watch so far down on their wrist?

what does /fa/ think of rolex presidential

>>7467932

looks like something a 70 year old Jewish CPA from Long Island would wear

>>7462579
what's wrong with audiophilia? my $3,000 cables really do make a difference. my steely dan albums sound a little bit more open and less veiled now.

who else is going to can jam this year?

>>7467707
>>7467696
How come you never see this sort of faggotry in other threads, this is exactly what I (>>7466751) was talking about.
>>7467748
Even then you'd hope that people on a fashion board would somewhat understand what quality can mean besides "it lasts long" or "it's very precise".

>>7463202
>Buying an invicta
>IT SAY'S IT'S A SWISS MOVEMENT SO IT'S BASICALLY A PATEK RIGHT GUISE?
Why do people do this.

>>7467675
If you received no comments about a Cartier tank you're doing it wrong.

>>7467932
It's a watch for someone who didn't come from much and now that they have more they want to seem as if they have money because they never could. Such a watch is an easy way to spot someone who wants to LOOK rich. If you want such an appearance go ahead. Otherwise, get something better like an IWC Portuguese.

as a girl's watch I actually like it

>>7469405
It's probably one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen. Girls watch or not, diamond encrusted flower print is enough to make me want to vomit.

>>7469071
Because the movements are the same.

Try looking up what it says on the watch

>>7473230
Fuck that, I'm illiterate

>>7463230
I'm not talking about A. Lange & Söhne which is flawless but "Glashutte Original" which is really nothing special, I would put it in same category as vintage Citizens.
Nomos is good but still overpriced.

>>7462801
12h indicator fell of my Citizen when i dropped it from bar tall cca 1,5m.
On the other hand my Promasters are indestructible.
Nighthawk, Aqualand and "regular" 200m Diver's are really great.

>>7473298
>talking about nice watches when you cant even care for a citizen

>>7473334
What are you implying?

It means that you are autistic because you own a lot of watches and watches are unnecessary and autistic.

>>7463230
>Nomos
>in house movement
>looks like their marketing is working

>>7473334
Sieg, get away from these autists and talk about watches in a gear thread on /k/.

>>7473374
They are in house, albeit similar to previous designs. There's only so many ways to make a standard movement, m8.

>>7473384
Nothing that justifies the price difference between stowa and nomos

>>7473394
except the aesthetics, and the fact that you don't have to wait months for your watch.

dear santa

>>7473419
Looks okay, but more than a year ago some dude on /f/a posted this fucking minimal (seiko ?) watch in black. It was sooooooo hnnnngggg

Not too expensive either. At least compared to some of the watches in this thread.
