Some cheap dress watches

>Rolex
looks fake to me, is it?

>>9910930

>>9910976
>didn't zoom in
lol, it's a look a like Role Submariner. I thought it looked odd.

hnnng

>>9909776

Any opinions on this brand? I kind of like the minimal design and the low price tag.

>>9911576

Overpriced quartz fashion brand and in my opinion they're ugly too.

>>9911588
such a beautiful object

shame it costs a house

>>9909997
>Daniel Wellington

>>9913209

not mine but what I got recently.

quality piece for an entry level automatic. check out the orient ray if you want more of a submariner look.

Or this?

>>9913306
definitely the sun & moon.

>>9913313
I'm also leaning towards that
I can't wait to get it
It's only $200 too

>>9913337
I've seen it with a brown leather strap and that looks great, too.

>>9913362
I'm new to watches, can I easily change leather strap/metal bracelet to match outfits or is it complicated to remove the band?

>>9913451
depends on the watch. But generally no, it's not easy to change from metal bracelet to leather strap.

>>9913451
you need some tools but it's pretty simple

Speedmaster Reduced, arrived today

>>9909796
Fucking timeless. Such an underrated piece, great value too.

>>9913451
It's very easy to change from a bracelet to a strap, but in general watches will always look better on metal due to the ugly ass gap between the strap and watch so you may as well not bother

>>9913691
wat

I have a question: when do you wear which watch? Like when would you wear a leather strap watch over one with a metal bracelet, for example?

>>9913803
You won't be changing the band out that often. It's more of a personal preference.

>>9913822
I have an Aquaracer that I feel is too dressy for my current work environment, I wouldn't be changing the band

Might pick up something this weekend, I have a Vostok coming in the mail to have as a beater

>>9913674

Are Air King Rolexes any good? What about Oyster Perpetuals?

>>9913703
What?

NICE ONE FUCKER
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET ARCHIE TO TELL YOU YOUR COLLECTION ISN'T REPETITIVE OR SHIT

>>9913703

>>9913924
The vintage 34mm ones are the cheapest Rolexes you can buy.
Incidentally, the current Oyster Perpetual (ref 116000) lineup is the cheapest and more diverse than most others.
They come in 4 or 5 sizes and multiple dial designs and colours at that.
Modern Air Kings look somewhere between clownish and depressingly bad, pic related.
Neither are nearly as iconic as the other models.
Buy it for the design, not the brand and you're good.

If you just want the cheapest possible watch that says Rolex, either buy a replica or a heavily used datejust - a few hundred more expensive the vintage airkings and whatnot but considerably more recognisable.

>>9913964
Isn't that a replica? Reverse image search leads straight to RWI. Airkings don't look that god awful I thought.

>>9914073
I'm not sure, it might be but there's a real reference that looks that awful.

Holy shit, is that Dali abomination real?

I thought that was just a weird photoshop or something when I looked at the thumbnail.

>>9915283
It's real, and it's pretty cool.
Nothing I would ever wear, because no human could ever pull it off, but it's cool.

>>9915322
women can pull it off

thinking about getting one of these as an every day watch. It's about $50 and I don't think a cheaper moon phase exists.

>>9915414
Moon phases are useless.

>>9914739
Four?

Easily the best.

>>9913475
very nice, shame so many bit age seikos are Quartz and have died

>>9913691
What's differemce between the reduced and other models?

>>9914789
Due to marketing and being sold everywhere, literally in places that have never sold a watch before they are recognisable to people who aren't watxh enthusiasts

>>9915633
Nah

>>9914789
that's a sport watch, not a dress watch

>>9915601

>>9913691
Very nice! I am actually saving up for a Speedy Reduced, I hope to have enough extra money in a few months to get one!

>>9915741
I think you could scrap the Rodina from your count and the bambino is nice touch due to it being smaller and a nice dome. What do you think I should to my collection? I just bought a seiko sarb035 and own to shitty orients, I'm thinking about getting another dress watch

Excuse the reddit tier friendliness, I'm just trying to get the threads moving a bit

>>9910939
Nice. You an F1 fan?

>>9915730
Hardly. What makes you say that? What possible practical use does it have?

>>9915706
Best comparison is to the Speedmaster Professional/Moonwatch. Reduced is automatic, smaller and thinner (39mm), and significantly cheaper than the moonie.

>>9915575

I use lunar phases to determine insect breeding cycles to help me with fly fishing. I also like stargazing so it would be good for planning stargazing trips.

>>9915822
So it's literally reduced, how much did yours set you back? I've always listed for one

>>9915848
Mine cost me around £700 total, which is an alright deal. I convinced the seller to declare the value as $50 so I didn't get fucked at UK Customs. When it arrived this morning it was pretty scratched on the crystal and bracelet, but with a bit of polish and a few hours it's good as new.

>>9915870
That's an affordable price, and I'm a broke nigga. How can you gage authenticity from used watches bought online?

>>9915881
I follow all the latest replica releases on the main replica forums, so I can instantly spot a fake. The best way is to ask for a picture of the movement, and compare it with a picture of the original, modern day replicas are very, very good.

what is the point of buying a watch if its not gold? any other color will not stand out and no one will notice your watch

>>9915903
So what gold watches do you own, chum?

>>9915903
Some people don't wear watches so they can get compliments. Gold stands out but there are tons of nice watches in stainless steel, silver, etc. My stainless Bulova gets as many compliments as my gold (colored) Seiko too if thats what you really care about.

>>9915897
When the time comes I guess I can do my research

>>9915881
Not him but someone else who's lusted for a speedy.
Moderately simple; they don't make replicas of it.
You might confuse a speedy rep for a second gen one (which I find a lot more attractive, but it's also 4/3rds the price of a gen 1 reduced, if not more). But in general speedy reps are easily recognisable.
Due to movement restrictions only the 44mm ones look even close to the real ones.

>>9915945
That's pretty nice, but someone will probably shit on it for it not being Swiss

>>9915949

It's just that the watches 3 and 4 don't have an awful lot in common with 1+2.
The first two are rosegold colored fashion watches with quartz movement.
3 is a older styled mechanic watch with domed crystal and 4 is a Chinese - mechanical copy of a Bauhaus watch.

It's TIMEPIECE not "watches". plebs

You mean wrist fedora.

>>9916699
>>9916703
No. $500 for that? Never buy a watch from fashion brands. It looks like it's worth around $5. What's your budget?

Normally hate fossil,but this one looks kinda nice doesn't it?

>>9917383
I see where you're coming from, but I think it's still extremely horrible.

>>9916623
>"GMT2C" rather than 16710 / 1765

I had only seen the newer Celinis and admit my mistake.
Why would anyone buy those though?
There's so many much nicer looking dress watches for the same money although I guess Swiss independent tends to cost more. And if it's buying for the brand a DJ seems a lot more fitting.

>>9916681
I'd be hesitant to call it good but it was $4. Strap cost twice that though.
If you're interested I linked it before, check the archive for aliexpress.

>>9916703
Get a parnis sterile PVD sub instead.

>>9917547

thoughts on movado watches

So I only have one watch, a 'Casio MQ24'

It's pretty good, tells the time, which is what I want.

But I've got my eyes on a $6,000 luxury watch. I'm nervous about owning it though.

So does anybody have any experience with jewelry insurance? How much does that stuff cost? Pls help

How about actually read and comprehend what I wrote. I never called anyone a pleb, in fact I was called a pleb for having an opinion.

At least you're aware that your watch is an ugly outdated piece of shit.

And moonies are not too expensive (most likely for you, judging by the calibre of your watch) I just don't like the design.

Yo guys first time buying an actual watch, so far I think I'm buying the seiko 5 Snk809 model, any one here who owns it could tell me how big your wrist is? I have skelly arms

yeah go for it it's a nice automatic and first watch. Just be sure to swap out the default band with a nato or a leather band.

:))

Reposting from the /g/ thread, as an anon told me theres a guy with an Imperial that sometimes posts here.

Im really digging that Celadon Imperial chinkwatch, but I think I got hooked on pretty marketing. Are they actually as good of a craftmanship achivement as they claim, and the price is just so low because the chinese goberment subsidizing the craftsmen services + selling at a loss to create a following, or its just fancy looks and shitty quality?

Also, is the peacock dial too much? I love it but I dont know if its too queer for someone that isnt a geisha in feudal japan.

>>9921500

I have the black/green version and I positively love it. If you dont care about normies thinking you are asociated with the lgtb movement (which you shouldnt be), get it, you wont regret it.

anyone ID this watch?

Here's a silly question, but I would like to hear answers from others.

Let's assume you're a spy who does espionage's for large sums of money. (e.g: you go around getting information from multi-billion dollar companies, governments, etc.)

What kind of watch do you wear? Could be anything from a simple G-Shock to a Rolex 5508 Submariner

I'm just curious to what you would all wear.

>>9924490
Didn't fuck up at all. The baby Tuna's a great choice, as long as you have big enough wrists.

>>9909796

"The power reserve indicator is one of the most useful features of a mechanical watch besides the actual time display. A mechanical watch is operated either by automatic- or manual winding. In order to run at a regular rate a mechanical timepiece needs to have at least 30 per cent of its mainspring wound.[citation needed] An automatic timepiece needs to be worn for about 10–15 hours before it is fully wound."

There is nothing wrong with buying a watch that is only attractive to the eye, I personally own both several Swiss watches but also two fashion designer watches. My favourite fashion designer watch is the KL-1007 from Karl Lagerfeld. It's flashy and I have received several compliments about the watch. And a very good build quality!

>>9920993
I have small wrists so its not the best but I like it

I'm looking to buy a Seiko 5, just as something to wear with a suit when I need to look more professional than I actually am.

I'm not a fan of stainless bracelets though. Does anyone have reccomendations on strap pairing with this particular watch? Am I wrong in thinking brown leather strap with a stainless watch is a faux pas?

>>9929500
Brown leather strap would look well with that watch, I think.

Looking into first watch. Testing a cheap one which is hard for an Ausfag.

Picked because I like the look of brown straps + white stitch, is it a good look?

I have a red/green Bagel (Milgauss) with the red and green and I heard the straps on those things are horrible.
Any advice on what kind of strap fits with it?

How do I convince my babby cousin that wearing a fucking Kiel James Patrick bracelet with his Rolex undermines the watch itself, and makes him look douchey.

>>9929626

Or leather with green or red stitching, preferably with one of those faux endlinks that probably cost more than the bagelgauss itself, even if fake.

I genuinely can't decide

the blue pops and looks nice as fuck but the rose gold looks crisp and would probably blend better

>>9932757

This is why I don't like it. It should be subtle.

You could probably buy a decent condition one for less than the price of a new crystal and band tbh

From what I've heard it doesn't pop at all, and is noticeable only from a few angles when the lighting hits it right.

Is it acceptable to wear an old Casio? Preferably without looking like I'm trying too hard. I love these kinds of watches.

>>9934795
yes

is this a good watch? used to be my grandfathers, have to fix it tho

I think this would look really cool with a lunarcore outfit.

>>9934846
It looks very nice imo.

>>9919546
Why does it say DON? I know that the seiko 5 has the spanish days of the week.
Domingo = Saturday

>>9921529
Yes it is a good watch but my seiko 5 is now 3 minutes fast, im going to have adjust when i get my watch back remover, I just ordered

>>9934846
Damn, that's a beautiful watch.

Git gud scrubs.

Learn to wear it.

I can never get over the name omega, say what you say but I think that omega sucks and they just try to artificially build a legacy with their multibillion james bond product placements and rising prices every year.
But after all every brand does this.

In my eyes omega is just a pleb watch for the average "hey i got a bonus at my average job" joe.

>>9937683

What do you mean by "learn to wear it"? If you refer to how the watch sits on my wrist, it's about perfect atm, as the thinnest part of my wrist is pretty high up the forearm.
I've always been a massive fan of Omega. Sure, the James Bond thing is a bit funny, but other than that I always thought their built quality and designs were top-notch for the price. We'll see what will happen now that they try to move up-market with the increasingly high pricing.

They've been around for over a century. How much more legacy do you want?

Donnerstag, I imagine

This is coming in the mail, how did I do? I had a tough time deciding between this or a plain black ceramic Ocean One or various JDM Seikos.

>>9938077
It looks nice. What's the price?

>>9937599
"hey anon. why does your watch say alpha? Because you're not"

<this chick

>>9937746
I had to google TT , and this was coming from someone who used to have a thermaltake aluminum case not too long ago

i think the fact that you recognize a ricer keyboard from a grainy cellphone image speaks volumes about how classless you are

>>9938077
I was almost impressed until I saw the steinhart

almost

>>9938215
steinharts look like those invicta sub homages with solid endlinks

thats about it really

>>9938237
With rolex homages you either get the cheap fun watch or just buy the real deal. Paying over 100 bucks for 1:1 copy for except maybe the dial is nuts. Better off buying "a real watch" with it's on thing going on is better in that case.

Maybe with submariners it's no biggie as it is the most copied watch ever.

>>9938180
oh cmon, stop posting these pictures

412 euro without VAT, I ended up paying just over $500 after shipping.

>>9938336
>I ended up paying just over $500 after shipping.

why?

not tryin to be a dick, but i don't see $500 worth of watch there

just a lower tier ETA movement with average off shelf stainless case and a stainless band that you probably need to replace with a nicer NATO to get that watch looking half decent

also why are they charging value added taxes to americans?

>>9938359
>without VAT
They're not charging it, that's $500 with shipping and exchanging to USD. There's an exchange rate, you know.

I think it's worth it, by all accounts it's a very nice looking well made watch. The movement is ETA elabore grade and it does have a small complication with the GMT hand. I'm under the impression that the bracelet is pretty solid too. I guess I'll know for sure when it gets here.

>>9938388
Don't listen to that guy, a watch like that will easily cost $500.

>>9938388
with most watches like that i feel as if you pay for the watch, and the band that comes with it is just part of the packing you discard, just there so the watch itself isn't damaged in shipping/can be tried on

>>9938415
Ah, the watch guy feel-good hugbox circlejerk. A man can literally buy dog shit carved into a wrist watch and people will tap him on the back in internet watch communities. Don't bring that here.

>>9913941
HOLY FUCK

I love Archie, and I watched that video and recognized that pic from this thread. I laughed my ass off.

>>9938433
So you found the cringe worthy collective of middle aged android smartphone and leneovo enthusiasts known as watchuseek?

>>9938443
Perfect. The attitude tends to bleed anywhere watches are discussed.

>>9938443
Nice collection friend! Congratulations on your new piece! Hope your wife gave you permission to invest in that piece! Fake watches are for fake people! Don't forget to preorder my ugly microbrand watch that I keep shilling!

Why the fuck these are a things over there. They all look like shit.

>>9938077
I don't understand why these rolex homages have crap magnification. why not just go 2.5?

>>9911445
don't listen to them

that thing is sick man

>>9938470
prob because the cheap glue-on cyclops' from china are cheaper

>>9938469
oh god, everyone online is so greedy today

fake gofundme accounts, "will donate money to charity if you buy this shit from me"

and just being over-the-top fake or pro feminist to shill products left and right

and it works

been scrolling through this thread about to post the vacheron. Such a beautiful piece.

>People in these threads can't afford the actual luxury watches and have to resort to buying homages

>>9938554
People in these threads know shit about watchmaking. That watch's movement only will set you back 500$. This is a very common watchstyle being used among a lot great watchmakers fuckface.

>>9938734
Proof?

>>9911445
I like it

>>9938429
Lolwhat

I need dis

Need a digital watch for when I run and do things that I can't use my phone as a stopwatch for.

Was thinking of getting the usual black terrorist watch, but this looks a little better imo.

Thoughts? Or should I just get the standard terrorist one.

Omega might not be as expensive and exclusive as, say: Rolex, Blancpain, IWC or Patek, but it is an old brand with a lot of tradition. the problem is - many exclusive brands these days dilute their exclusivity by accepting compromises and becoming more mainstream - like Rolex which started going for machine production and e.g. in my place is the most recognizable cliche luxury item you can think of. it's the same type of luxury as Louis Vuitton luggage - too many fakes, too many cliches, too many morons buying them - regardless of authenticity. that's a shame really

I personally own 3 Omegas that were bought new in my family - a 1930s pocket watch, a women's manual wind wristwatch (1950s?) and a gentlemen's 2506-2 from 1948 - stainless steel, enamel dial, golden hands. The last one is in pretty decent condition, the first two require major renovation after many decades of not being used. the quality of the 2506-2 is really good and all it requires is some maintenance every 4 years which is pretty impressive for a nearly 70-year old watch. in my view - that's already legacy

Wow I have the absolute same watch. On the same strap, I put it myself... Got the watch for 1$ from an old dude who worked in Siberia back in the 70s.

>>9932512
It's a miyota 1l22 movement. It is cheap but it's almost impossible to mess up a quartz movement anyway. As they are fashion watches I got them for some diversity on the wrist and because I like the look of them. They get a lot of hate by the watchnerds the forum but they got complimented by female coworkers and clients so in my book they are quite allright

>>9928490
Get a seiko 5 on sale over on amazon or something, not very expensive and is a legitamate mechanical.
