Seiko 5 sale in case anyone is looking for an inexpensive watch.
http://1sale.com/watch/men-s-50-to-100/seiko-watch-collection-mens/

>>8152187
that one is 42mm.
The one in OP's pic is 46 I believe

>>8152187

43mm for the current IWC pilot chrono. previous model was 42mm.

ive also ordered a breitling aerospace evo..which has increasec to 43mm

pic semirelated: qantas edition breitling aerospace

got 2 requests

1. minimalistic 'i love techno' watch, minimum details, but the hour marks have to be numbers, not just bars

2. watch with 2 or more dials, to use when long air routes with connecting flights

i'd buy a different strap for it, but whatever

>>8152782

>>8152623

A good expensive watch will handle running just fine. Fuck, the two most common "expensive" watches, the Rolex Submariner and Omega Speedmaster, have been to the bottom of the ocean and the fucking moon, respectively. Do you think they'll break if you go jogging?

>tfw getting this for my birthday
>tfw it's only 2 months away

Quick question:

Why does /fa/ resent Tag Heuer?

>>8152061
>>8152066
I know those feels :(

>>8154643

Tags have the stigma of being seen as a fashion label these days. Not necessary the case but they do make good entry level watches!

They can also be seen as overmarketed. you could say that about breitling too but...breitling still only target a certain segment where Tag are mainstream. imo anyway

hnnnng

>>8154638
you motherfucker.
have fun with changing straps, nothing looks bad on that thing.

Cop or not guys?

>>8154844
cop as fuck

>>8154782
so people are just mad because its a watch manufacturer with an inflated marketing budget? Okay.

Excuse the shit camera.

Does /fa/ hate Rolex?

>>8151507
Can go wrong with Stowa. I have the Baumuster B Dial and a Marine Auto. Great watches.

>>8155485
eh they're okay, made from awesome materials (steel is so highly graded it's basically a precious metal) but I think they're a bit gaudy when you could have a few equally well made watches for the equivalent price.

pic unrelated.

>>8155485
quality/styling near gauranteed but overpriced for what they are.

>>8155485
/fa/ hates Rolex because they do not look "unique". Some people think they are gaudy, and they can be. A solid gold Rolex or even a two-tone can be gaudy as hell. For me, steel is where it's at.

Sure they are mass produced, but the quality is impeccable. Every single watch is perfect coming out of the factory. The movements are extremely reliable, and the designs are timeless classics for the most part.

If you buy a Rolex, it will last you for your entire life. If you buy used, the prices are extremely reasonable.

I bought my Sea-Dweller used, but in flawless mint condition. The only thing that was missing was the stickers. The list price was around 8700 Euro, but I got it for 5200. In my opinion, that is an excellent price for a classic watch made from the highest grade of steel in the world, which will last me for my entire life.

>>8155485
Some people where don't like them because they supposedly have no "soul" or individuality. The soul or personality of the watch comes from the user. The user defines the look of a watch.

Robert Redford, Steve Mcqueen, Louis CK, Charlize Theron or anybody else can all wear the some bog-standard model of Rolex Submariner, but the character of the watch will be imparted from them, not the other way around.

It's like a blank slate, pretty much. You can look cool-as-hell, or like a rich asshole, depending on how you wear it and what kind of persona you have.

Watch and some edc

>>8151736
Omega and Rolex, truly the worst.

If you want a swiss watch there are so many better alternatives that aren't just overpriced pieces of shit due to the name

>>8154844
w2c? Amazon only showing Resin straps in black far as I can tell, this looks metal.

>>8156173
Can you back up your opinion?

>>8156166
mine fgt

>>8156181
I am Swiss by nationality and lived 2 miles from Rolex HQ if that makes my opinion any stronger

Seriously, Rolex and Omega are absolute shit in terms of design. There are many other switch watchmakers out there and the two aforementioned ones just rest on their laurels purely because of their stupid brand recognition. Rolex and Omega are the Louis Vuitton and Coach of watches. Absolutely disgusting

>>8156189
So your entire argument is that you don't like how they look? Fair enough, but that has nothing to do with the quality of their products. And they don't survive on brand recognition.

I don't like the look of Lamborghini, but I don't go around calling them shit cars because of it.

>>8156199
yes the quality is certainly good (although again they are overpriced as shit because you can find watches with similar levels of quality for a lot less)

my qualms are with the design and the arrogant fucks that usually buy them. It's like those people who buy a Nikon d4s to take selfies

>>8156189
Show me a better sportswatch in the same price category as Rolex and Omega.

Bonus points if in the same quality and reliability.

>>8156210
So now it is the wearer? Are wearers of Patek or Vacheron or Audemars Piguet not rich assholes? Or is it just Rolex and Omega wearers?

And you are obviously in a huge minority when it comes to disliking the designs. Rolex is unanimously considered to have fantastic timeless design classics, which are by no means "disgusting".

And overkill is a dumb point when it comes to watches. Why doesn't everyone just wear a 10 dollar quartz? Why spend 1000 dollars on shoes when a 20 dollar pair will do?

>>8156212
rolex isn't all that reliable
people just tend to pay for repairs when they drop $10,000 on a watch

>>8156228
Rolexes are not overkill, just overpriced

I never said that you should go with a 200$ watch instead of a 3000$ one and that there was no difference in quality

all these buttmad rolexfags itt

>>8156231
Rolex movements are very reliable. Most of them run at +-1 to 3 seconds a day. That is very good for a mechanical watch.

>>8156235
So you just go ahead and ignore everything I say because I mixed up two words?

And you still have not stated what you would prefer over a Rolex or Omega. Is it because you don't know?

Is any watch over 4 grand overpriced?

>>8156116
We all have our quips, and if yours is dropping a bunch of cash on a Rolex then so be it, but do not try and justify it rationally because it is simply not possible to do so.

>>8156242
1 Rolex movements are over hyped, nothing particularly amazing about them

2 Again I never said that any watch over 4 grand is overpriced, you're just being a defensive fuck and starting to say random shit

3 I do know what I would prefer over a Rolex or Omega, in fact there are dozens of brands I would prefer over a Rolex or Omega. I am not here to waste my time typing to try to sway your opinion.

4 Rolexes are for show offs who don't know jack shit about watches.

5 If you have a Rolex others automatically assume it's a fake

>>8156235
>if I call them buttmad homosexuals, that will win me the argument and show that I am right

Are you 14 years old?

>>8156250
I understand that. I am just trying to give an explanation from my point of view.

>>8156116
>Every single watch is perfect coming out of the factory.
hey guys, it's rick from gold&silver pawnshop!

>>8156252
>1
They get the right amount of "hype". They are reliable and well built, nto much else to it.

>2
You still have not given an example of anything better in the pricerange.

>3
Again, what would you rather have?

>4
Baseless hyperbole. Great argument there. There are gigantic watch nerds who have many Rolexes in their collection because they can appreciate them.

>5
Who gives a shit about what others think?

>>8156242
anything over 4k that doesn't satisfy one of the following categories is overpriced.

a) precious metal eg. gold, platinum,
b) grand complication eg. tourbillon, minute repeater,
c) are extreme tool watches eg. 3000m WR, Argon filled titanium case

if you pay over 4k for something that isn't in the above category, 85% of the cost of your watch went into advertising.

>prime example: highbeat 36,000 Zenith Espada for 4.5k. Still cheaper than most inferior Omega's and Rolex's

>>8156261
>puts rolex movements to shame

>>8156254
>trying
Don't.

1. You are not convincing them.
2. You are reinforcing "post-purchase rationalization"
3. You purchased it simply because you like it, and that's perfectly okay.

>>8156261
Too bad it's fuck ugly.

>>8156261
>thinking a tourbillon actually costs over 100k to produce

>>8156269
im not the same rolex hater. I'm the one from Switzerland that hates rolex

Personally I think longines and tag heuers are good cheaper rolex alternatives that look a lot less shitty and are just as well made

>>8156277
Tag Heuer and Longines are objectivly not as well crafted as Rolex.

Fine if you like the designs better, but don't start disputing the build quality.

>>8156283
that must be why Rolex has a one year warranty on their watch

surely their quality must be unmatched /s

>>8156286
>grasping at straws

>>8156269
too bad your subjective opinion on an anonymous message board means less than nothing

>>8156300
>just like every other post in this thread

>>8156286
If the quality control from Rolex is so great, why don't they just offer a lifetime warranty? It is unlikely a defect will arise after an extended period if it doesn't arise immediately. Any issues they can rightly just blame on user fault and wear and not of manufacturer origins, especially if not being regularly serviced.

What about Seiko? They make their own movements and assemble the watches in Japan (the more expensive models that is).
/fa/ approves?

>>8156316
Because lifetime warranty on a mechanical watch is impossible. By their very nature, they need to be serviced every 5-10 years. And most people don't service their watches until they stop working. Rolex would lose an incredible amount of money on lifetime warranty repairs.

Think a little before posting.

>>8156321
Seiko are great budget watches. Nothing wrong with them for the most part.

>>8156325
>Any issues they can rightly just blame on user fault and wear and not of manufacturer origins, especially if not being regularly serviced.
Read a little before posting.

Addendum: this is what several other watch brands do.

>>8156330
No premium watch company has a lifetime warranty.

Also, what is the point of lifetime warranty if you still have to have it service and any dents or dings can be placed on the users faults?

What would the warranty be for?

>>8156316
because then people would actually use the lifetime warranty on the services and they won't pay thousands to keep their watch ticking yearly

on rolex forums, the guys who sell their rolexs all collectively agree that you're pretty much buying someone else's probem/source of stress when you buy that watch
\

Let's see your fake watches /fa/ ;)

>Also, what is the point of lifetime warranty if you still have to have it service and any dents or dings can be placed on the users faults?
Very few warranties of any sort let the user throw their purchase under a bus, literally or figuratively, and demand a replacement.
>What would the warranty be for?
Marketing.

Jord means dirt in Danish.

>>8156364
Depending how you define "premium", they have watches in the several thousands.

They also now have a proprietary movement, in addition to any other loopholes they have to follow in order to brand them as "swiss made". Remarkably still independently run by the original founders. But go ahead, knock shit you have no idea about.

>>8156453
those are beautiful. It's a shame I have huge wrists and anything under 44mm makes any watch I wear look microscopic

>>8156663

>>8156668
I feel like watches can look too big, but rarely too small given todays std sizes. Unless you're Andre the Giant, and you got a posse, I'd say you could pull off a 42mm flieger.

Besides, small bezel makes the watch wear larger than it actually is.

>>8156712
when you first really look at a rolex sub/dweller/gmt they appear bulky. thick black bezels are an acquired taste, but with time you begin to appreciate the aesthetic and functionality.

>>8156712
you mean hate the classic diver watch sillouette?

because rolex produces some god awful shit

i'd go as far as to say that rolex only produces 5 models in their entire history which I appreciate

I mean oyster perpetuals, daytonas, milgauss, these are all but a few of the ugly tacky offerings they have on the market

not going to lie I couldn't or should I more likely say, I didn't want to afford the up keep/servicing of the rolex I picked up years ago.

$350 service, and significant value reduction if you replace the band with something that wasn't a massive, solid linked summer time killer.

plus it was a date just (picked it up for $1200) so wasn't a sub (sell for like 5X a datejust on market

many people agree,

sad thing is many former rolex owners are stating that the lowliest of seikos malyasian movement offerings rival mid-low end rolex models

I really want a rolie but I'm pre-career poor and can't wait. what are your thoughts on the 6694 manual winds? They go for around 1200-1500 depending on condition and some are flat out gorgeous.

the thing I hate the most about modern rolex is their need to put a paragraph about the model on the dial. put that shit in the user manual for fuck sake. these older oysters are beautiful in that they don't have this.

>>8157881
Nice. Get it serviced and wear it with pride.

I recently got me an ice watch knockoff from a no-name brand because I dig the look. still great quality. do you think they are /fa/? It looks very similar to this, same hands and everything but it's all metal instead of all plastic which was important for me. I would have bought an original one otherwise. besides they have a retarded selection menu of big, small or unisex without showing how big it actually is on amazon. so that kinda pissed me off and I had to go with the alternative.

>>8157881
go get it appraised
not worth much though 80's is kind of the decade of nothing of value

I remember there being some watch guide on TheFaggotStore about when to wear certain watches (as in, what style watch to wear with a suit, while driving, casually, ect..)
Can anyone post the guide if they know what I'm talking about or at least explain when to wear certain style watches? Or just call the guide out on it's bullshit if it is.

>>8159684

>>8159675
The problem isn't with the band, but with the springbars. These things hold the watch head to the band. If a springbar breaks, you're screwed.

When diving, it's good to invest in a quality pair of spring bars and a good NATO strap.

>>8159611
It's already a Rolex. It can't get any fucking stupider.

My Casio F91W lost it's color after the first wash, so no more sick fades. It fell apart after the second wash.

>>8159689
Springbars almost never break if you're using a metal strap, its only a problem with other materials since they get caught on the edge of the bar and pull it out. The only reason divers don't all use metal bracelets is because adjusting them is a pain.

>>8159698
Well played, sir.

Rate my latest purchase. I'm an accountant.

>>8159837
As long as you keep your one in 24hr mode, I can deal. How much did you pay?

>>8159848
$15 bucks.

My next addition to my collection will probably be an Omega DeVille from Ebay.

>>8159837
water resistant my ass
my one died after i had a shower with it on

>>8159864
>Omega DeVille
Fuck, nice. Black face?

>>8159491
Please respond

>>8159879
I was thinking blue face. With a nice distressed walnut leather strap. I've been thinking about it for the longest, just need to pull the trigger.

>>8159868
They are water resistant, not water proof. Water resistant means it can takes splashes of water from washing your hands. Taking a shower with it, would require the watch to be at least 3m water proof like a diving watch, which this is not.

I mean, it clearly has open button holes. What were you thinking?

>>8159868
I don't bring any watch into the shower apart from my 200m rated diver. I don't want to kill any of my things.

>>8159924
And it also makes the straps stink.

>>8159901
do it, Deville's are ossim

>>8158896

I got a fake here as well!

Got it for $100.

>>8161333

What shitty looking watch.

What i'd expect from someone who shops using the advert pages in GQ and the interviews with footballers on Motd

>>8161380
most likely. failing on all levels either way.

>>8161333
The car and the implied account balance?
yes.
The abomination on the wrist?
Fuck no!
(Though i would happily take it as a present, sell it as quickly as possible, buy me a nice watch with the money and go on a nice vacation with the money left)

What would be a good, minimally styled watch for someone with skinny, girly wrists (I'm a guy though)? I have 6" wrists, I think anything >38mm is going to look stupid.

>>8158092
>looks like a big diver, bezel and a rubber strap
>5 atm WR
UGH!
IMO you'd be better off with a seiko monster or an orient mako/whatever.

>>8162079
Pic related Stowa Antea. This Nomos? >>8156405

Or a Chinese made Rodina Classic. Which all resemble the same.

I have no idea where to get any of them. I'm just suggesting these b/c I remember those watches.

>>8162079
I prefer the 152 line over those, but they make great watches for small wrists.

best summer watch to cop for around 700$?

>>8159491
yeah you right. better go with Nixon or Swatch.

bought swatch touch like the one on bottom. pretty fa beater if you dont want to spend 10k on watch.

>>8162543
Pls b in London

Can I adjust watch band sizes at home or is this something better done by a store?

Got a Nixon Cannon for my birthday but it's fucking huge, I need to push up halfway up my forearm so it doesn't slide off my wrists.

yo is Michael Kors total fuccboi tier?

I need a new watch and there was a Michael Kors one that I'm liking but also I can hear the word fuccboi echoing in the back of my mind cause watches aren't his main deal

anyone know if Michael Kors watches are any good? or should I avoid that shit?

>>8162660
Pic related. Wanted the all gunmetal one, and I absolutely hate how gaudy gold is, but I suppose I could get used to it. Looks alright against my complexion as well.

The other watch is what I've been going with. Hated the blue straps at first but they've grown on me. One of the loops that hold the strap against the other strap have fallen off over the years and the silver face plate is scratched as fuck, but I love the damn thing.

My only gripe with the Cannon is that it doesn't show the date in the face.

>>8162543
>that abomination

o ryt srry m8

seriously though your gift givers have some poor taste. i got a jumper from my gf once that i didn't like at all and that felt awful, can imagine how it must feel getting a much more expensive gift than that.

>>8163056
Y'know, at that point I just think "well, this person got me a gift because they wanted to, money out of their pocket, not mine", and even though it's not what I want, they got something and I'm pretty grateful for it. I saw how they looked when I opened the box and was a bit disappointed, but they lit right back up when I told them that the watch is great and I'll be glad to wear it.

So, whatever. It's still a nice watch if it wasn't exactly what I wanted. Now if only I could wear the damn thing without it flying off my arm.

Patek Master

>>8163725
AHAHAHA stop posting your shit watch faggot. just because it patek doesnt mean it's good. it looks like fucking cheap dx watch.

>>8163725
>>8163740
wtf are you talking about that's a pretty clean looking watch

for all the talk of minmalism on this board, you sure know how to pick ugly as shit low end watches

idk if that is real though, might be fake

>>8163725
>lugs literally hanging over your wrist

does your dad know you're wearing his watch?

>>8163740
It looks beautiful

Not sure why he can't take a new photo, though. Same with >>8161333

Maybe it's the same guy and he owns neither, but I hope that's not true

>>8152826
Actually, that's not bad. I kinda like http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK805-Automatic-Canvas-Casual/dp/B000LTAY1U/ref=pd_sbs_watch_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0SFS3SC63KT6P65Z6JDB a little more, even if it is kinda cheesy.

>highest grade of steel in the world

That's not how steel works. It's not like Grade A or Grade B beef or something. Different steel grades have various attributes like hardness, malleability, chemical or heat resistance, etc.

http://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=1022

Here's your Rolex steel. Its only real claim to fame is that it has good acid resistance. So feel free to strap it on and stick your arm in a vat of acid. Your arm's gone, and for that matter so are the gaskets of your watch, after which the 904L steel will soon contain nothing because the acid will enter the case and eat the dial, hands, and movement. But the steel will be slightly more okay than the steel of other watches.

904L is not stronger, harder, shinier, etc than the 316L steel every other dive watch is made out of.

> will last me for my entire life

As long as you're willing to drop $500-$800 every five years for a service, yeah, sure. You could buy a lot of watches for that though in the long run.

Oh, wait, and there's the tiny problem that Rolex generally doesn't service watches after about 20 years. If you have grandpa's old 1960s submariner, Rolex won't touch it. You'll be asking around on the Internet for somebody who has NOS parts or the tools to make them if you want it fixed.

I like Rolex. They've made a lot of history and make a damn good watch. But you sound like a victim of marketing.

>>8151505

That looks like an elementary school clock shrunk down and strapped to your wrist

>>8164312
It's actually a Swiss railway clock shrunk down and strapped to his wrist

>>8164328
Looking to buy this one.

>>8164328
Beautiful. I hope to one day give my F91-w to my son, maybe as a wedding gift.

>>8156116

I honestly don't like Rolex much. I recently got an Omega Constellation (pic related) but if I am going to spend 20k+ on a watch I would buy a Patek Philippe. I'm not saying Rolex's are not good watches, they are, I'm just not a huge fan of them.

>>8162408
chinese mech chronograph?

>>8163557
interesting. not sure how I feel about the two-tone case though. But yeah Bullova make qaulity. Just need big wrists coz most of their stuff is 43-45mm

>>8164385
you didn't buy that
please tell me you didn't buy that

>>8162959
>*Breitling
>he said it was fake

>>8156286
Hmmmm mine came with a 2yr warranty

>>8166147
Still, dropping 10k on a watch for a 2 year warranty, fuck that

Fucking casios come with a 2 year warranty

If you drop any serious coin up to $40,000 on a product in Australia one would be protected for a reasonable time under consumer law.

>>8166359
Speaking of which, where is a high-end watch shop?
I'm guessing Adelaide has got fuck all, so where do I look in Melbourne?

>>8165642

Have you guys check the most recent Orient models? They seem pretty cool for cheap-tier mechs.

>>8166538
That is a beautiful watch. Would cop.

>>8166538
And this is their newest caliber with a week day indicator function.

>>8166547
Missing pic

This is the smartest watch catalog sorter I've seen, it's been pretty helpful while I look for a new watch, thought someone else might appreciate it too.

http://www.mastersintime.com/us/en/watch-finder/

Also, it changes the options you can select, based on what you've already chosen, so you can never encounter 'no results'. (example, not all brands will be available to choose from, if you select digital watches)

It's a dutch company that I think ships worldwide.

>>8166565
This is great, thanks.

>>8166538
>>8166552
Orient make some really nice pieces.

>>8166565

Looking for a watch <$300 for casual wear, hows this? citizen bm8480-51l

>>8169358
It's not offensively bad but it's not even a little bit interesting or pretty

You can get a Citizen Eagle 7 for less, you'd be nuts not to

>>8169358
It's a eco-drive quartz if that's what you are after. I'd say cop it. But it looks really generic.

I think it's not worth it b/c you could have got better alternatives instead such as the Vostok Amphibian under $100, Any Seiko 5 dressy/sports watches over the $100 price.

Or a Seiko 007 as pictured.

But If you didn't want a mechanical wound up watch. Maybe a Tissot quartz watch is best for you but they are priced near $300 or more.

bump

>>8164328
>>8164342

Joke if you will but I only have two watches, a SubC No-Date and an F91w. I can appreciate both, albeit in different ways.
Saving up for a JLC Master Ultra Thin next.

my want is eternal

>you will never own anything this outrageous

feel with me bros

>>8171325
>>8171330

>these two watches being mentioned in the same sentence/thread/forum/internet
Absolutely disgusting.

Whats the story behind the Rainbow Daytona? I think someone at Rolex really dropped the ball. Wasn't there a leopard print Rolex as well?
>muh conservatism
Clearly not.

>>8171350

pretty sure Rolex can do whatever they want as long as their core models stay consistent

>>8171325

u w0t

>>8171357

I guess if Jaeger LeCoultre can shit out a Batman Reverso, Rolex can get a pass on that abomination.
Now to wait for the Patek-McDonalds collaboration.

>>8171383

youse a hater

this watch is pure art

donald sterling owns one

>>8171388

That wasn't commissioned to be worn by a man, was it? I'm going to have to google this now.

>>8171388
disgusting, so baroque

>>8171420
>baroque
I don't think you know what that means, newfriend.

>>8171350

what's wrong with leopard?

>>8171434
>zebra
I will admit that it looks aesthetic if you look at it from the point of view of womens jewellery. But compare that to an understated piece by Patek or Vacheron and its a no brainer.
Still very nice colour scheme compared to the Rainbow.

Just got this guy

>>8171383
Don't forget the Top Gun IWC Double Chrono

>>8171533
That's great. Manual or automatic? More info?

>>8171630
Manual. There's no information, not that I can find. Not even a model number.

>>8171619

i'm a lazy faggot but I'll be fucked if this doesnt look better

Anyone know where I can cop a decent homage/replica of this bad boy?

Quartz/automatic doesn't matter, as long as it isnt some $2 movement that won't last 3 days

Similar, cheap, good looking, will last forever, not a replica

>>8171860
I've seen this one around some forums, but it just doesnt feel like a classic pilot watch, although I bet its quality is amazing compared to other shit I've seen, like Parnis, pic related.

>>8171909
Parnis is a bunch of different Chinese companies that use the same name, which I always found weird as hell.

I know what you mean about the aviation style, are you sure you don't just want a Nighthawk? Guessing you're set on a chronograph though, I'll keep looking.

>>8171909
>>8171929

>>8171954
Shame all the good ones are hand wound

>>8171929
I like the nighthawk alot, but the leather straps just don't feel right on it. Do you think a black textile strap like the one on the IWC would look good on it?

thread will 404 soon

>>8171984
You could always get the black nighthawk, that would probably go with a textile strap better.

>>8165654

I bought that. Want me to timestamp a picture?

>>8171999
Also, I personally think the all steel Nighthawk looks best. I think it'd be a shame to replace the band with anything else, but that's just me.
