does anybody know where dagaz went? I've been out of the watch game for a few months. website appears to be kill.

>>9941056
http://www.dagazwatch.com/
Some kind of shit went down and he had to get a new URL.

>>9941071
shit, thanks
dunno why google is too retarded to find the new link.

I've got a chance to get one of these from a friend for a great deal.

Should I?

Pros/Cons?

>>9941200
how good a deal?
sub 100? If it's below 10% retail, absolutely

he might just be trying to offload a broken watch doe

>>9941205
Nope, works.

It's a bit dusty as hell, but it is a submariner and should just clean off fine. But yeah, I've seen it a lot around, and he's let me wear it before, it's very smooth, bezel works fine, clasp is great, etc. Of course it's not really a brand new one, but it's pretty much all good barring the dusty factor.

He's willing to sell it to me definitely below 10%. I don't know how much two tone blue submariners are normally but oh well. .

>>9941229
quick google search says ~9,000

I'd go for it, but only because all my watches are shit

>>9941244
Badass

He's selling it to me for $6,500

I'm very fucking nervous though, that son of a bitch has a lot of solid gold. And I've never owned a luxury watch before, the crown, clasp, most the bracelet, bezel are all solid gold. And I'm pretty sure gold is a really soft metal.

I'm just nervous, I know watches get scratched but jesus, gold?

>>9941271
the watch will be fine

also is that gif from pokemon colosseum? used to play that game way back in the day

>>9941288
Thanks a bunch for your help.

Yes it is, Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness is massively underrated.

GOAT watch

>>9941271
6500? better get it serviced before you buy it

Just copped.

I needed a digital watch for reasons, and I liked this more than the terrorist standard.

I get an 80s vibe from it which I fucking love.

>>9941200
I know he's your friend, but make sure that it isn't a fake, especially if he got it second-hand.

>>9941271
For the most part, these watches are meant to be investments, as they grow in value if maintained properly. Think of it more like stock or an heirloom than a fashion accessory.

Ugly as fuck and child sized. It's not 1930 anymore. 30mm watches are not acceptable

>>9941425
I probably will, it will be a bit pricey but ultimately I think having like 7 years peace of mind will be worth it.

>>9941480
He got it from an AD He has the box, the little badge thing, books, etc.

So I'm excited, once again thanks for your input.

>>9941480
Yeah no you're an idiot. Barring obnoxious luck watches do not grow in value.

>>9942624
>box, the little badge thing, books, etc.
These mean shit, superlegit fakes can bought off ebay for 15 bucks.
With luxury timepieces it is often preferred to make the deal in professional store. In your case if you are going to service it right away, why not go with your friend there and ask for the price and at the same time you can make sure that it is real. With 6500 authentication price means shit if you can avoid a fake.

>>9942712
You raise an excellent point. I'm just assuming it's real for now since I have seen him personally buy other luxury watches, but that's fairly baseless I suppose.

I'll go with him to the store and have it checked out.

Thanks!

What is the most functional watch possible?

Something where if you were in the most rugged terrains be it extremely hot deserts, wet forests, cold ass regions of Alaska, etc. I'm not really looking for "aesthetics" I'm all about function. Because when I hike out in these regions, I don't exactly have a very wide array of tools I can bring with me. I've got a back pack, a coat (depending on the region), some pants, survival boots, and necklaces which have useful stuff like knives and such. So I need something compact as hell, think the swiss army knife of watches. I don't mind spending a bit of cash, I doubt many luxury watches are really useful for what I have in mind anyways but yeah, if a $1,500 watch is going to last me for decades and decades and be compact/useful then that's $1,500 I'll easily shell out.

Not that I absolutely need ALL of these but here's an idea of some functions/features I would find useful: Compass, Waterproof as possible, thermometer, altimeter, barometers, ANYTHING really. Also, I've seen quite an array of useful bands which have things like compasses on them, but realistically speaking durability reigns supreme over a less durable watch with a simple feature. Once again, please note the areas I go to are very rough, are very different in many cases. So high resistances to water/snow, falling damage, temperature changes, etc are very, very vital to the watch I desire.

Thank you to anyone who gives me a little bit of input. I look forward to hearing any input (Real quick reminder, if it has the day then that's excellent, I like to log what I hear/see/find out there, and like quick access to the day/hour/minute/seconds)

Casio G-Shock tbh

>>9944008
>1,500

You're asking for a lot of watch for a relatively low price. A good watch that you can go exploring with and will last you the rest of your life will be more expensive.

Some you should consider:
>rolex submariner
Classic timepiece that is versatile and goes with anything. It's a strong, durable dive watch. Everyone knows it's a rolex.
>rolex explorer or explorer II
Less ostentatious rolex but fulfills the same purposes. The explorer series was designed for cave exploration.
>omega speedmaster
Durable and stylish. Comes in a few bezel colors and the bracelet is very nice. Less expensive than a rolex too.
>seiko
Seiko makes a lot of decent watches, and I think a dive watch, so something to consider. Dive watches are generally good outdoor watches in general
I'll be happy to answer more questions if you'd like

w2c a Seagull M172S, thoughts?

>>9944396
$1,500 was an example. As I said, if it lasts me a life time, I'll spend way more, but I wouldn't go out and buy a patek philippe or something because that's verging on removing way, way too much of my money.

I like a lot of the watches you mentioned, but...I just don't see much to them. The submariner is beautiful, I like how it has a day wheel on it which is great, as I said I log what I see/do a lot, and when I'm out there for days or even over a week you lose track of days and it's vital I get the day wheel. The explorer and explorer II are on the same boat, the explorer seems to ONLY be able to tell time, but the explorer II seems supreme due to the additional hand and day wheel. Omega speedmaster is also on the same boat, it can tell time. That's fine, I need to be able to tell time but they really lack functions, simple chronographs really don't interest me that much. I'm not really timing anything out there.

G-Shocks seem fine, but there's so many that I find it difficult to discern which to pick, and a lot of people here seem to be really into watches so I figured some individuals might have a bit of a better scope on what could or couldn't work.

I'm still incredibly thankful for your feedback, I would likely look into something like the submariner down the line, but for now I'm just really looking for, as I said, "the swiss army knife of watches".

Much appreciated to your help and to the help of anyone else who gives me feedback/suggestions/ideas!

>>9944483
Glad to help. Just know that it may be difficult to find a watch with all the spec you want. The explorer II actually has a GMT hand as well (just so you know) that would be useful when you're away from home.
Maybe a digital would be your way to go. It has the most functions but digitals seem to be disposable to me.

And definitely don't go wearing a patek exploring, lol

>>9944514
Of course, as I said, I'm not looking for any specific "I want this ONLY!" it's just kind of an example. The more functions the better, I don't mind being digital. I know the batteries can last a very long time.

I'm not doing any patek wearing whilst exploring, trust me. I would rather spend the money on charity than wear a top notch luxury watch in some of the conditions I've been in. Trust me, I could go on for hours the absolutely brutal conditions, but I digress.

If you think you or if anyone else has any digital watch suggestions that you personally think would be great, please let me know and I'll research more about any suggestions! Thanks!

Need advice.

On the sub ss 116610 should I go for black or Hulk?


Or should I just get a ss Batman/Dark Knight GMT Master II black/blue

>>9945267
>wanting to know the time
>2015

>>9945268

I personally love the Hulk more but the regular black version is much more versatile. As for Sub vs GMT if you do a lot of traveling maybe go GMT but if not I'd stick with the Sub.

I'm trying to pick out a smaller link watch for casual wear and don't know what the fuck to buy. This parnis is probably the best I can find on the low end of things, but I wouldn't mind spending quite a bit more for something I fall in love with.

Alternatives im cinsidering currently are orient, seiko, parnis divers as well butI usually just wear new standards with boots and button up or sneakers and a t so I don't know if the bezel on those watches will stand out too much. Just looking for a relatively boring black face watch.

Any advice? Pic related can also come with parnis branding on the face, with a bit more color.

>>9945375
I really like that Parnis. where to cop?
also, do you know if there is a version with date window? definitely digging this style. I don't own a watch with stick markers only yet.

Also, where could I get a good leather band for it?

>>9946387
>Also, where could I get a good leather band for it?
HIRSCH. But they're probably too expensive for you, so just go to your local watch boutique.

>>9945375

>>>/g/48339759
Although if you don't want it to be extremely cheap the Parnis is likely notably better quality.

>thinks watches grow in value

they are like cars. people look at the fancy old antiques and think they grow in value. But in reality your 1990's toyota is pretty worthless now

>>9941480
>For the most part, these watches are meant to be investments, as they grow in value if maintained properly. Think of it more like stock or an heirloom than a fashion accessory.
Really? I'm kinda curious if the modern generation is willing to pay for watches to that degree. I don't dispute that there will always be watch aficionados, but I do wonder if the consumer base hasn't dropped precipitously.

By way of example: most people who run in white collar circles no longer wear expensive watches - except for people who started in the 80s. My understanding is that 80s professional culture was all about dick-wagging with expensive watches, whereas nowadays that is no longer the case. Kinda assumed that might have hurt the industry a bit.

Whats effays opinion on Tommy Hilfiger?
Im too scared to be called girly but i think they look nice.

>>9946563
They are not like cars you scrub, high end watches will retain value very well, unlike cars they will never depreciate to zero. They are worth what people are willing to pay for them and if you look at the used wrist watch market at the moment it is still a substantial amount

>>9946291
Can cop off ebay, just search 40mm parnis.

>>9946535
Thanks for the suggestion, but yeah I'll probably end up getting that one after a few more days of looking at pics of it.

>>9944008
Put one G-shock on both of your wrists if you want to cover the human error of losing your watch. All military including special forces and who knows what deep behind enemy lines combat jungle patrol seal 9000s use G-shocks instead of mechanical or analog quartz watches. Mainly because they last for 10 years, never break, always stay on time, are cheap and are available on every military PX and corner store around the world.
Just take a G-shock and I highly doubt your adventures are so rugged and extreme, half of your post is just mental masturbation lol.

Then you can buy what ever mechanical masterpiece you want for "civilian" life.

>>9946684
Authorized Dealer. Mainly meaning high-end watch stores. If you are going to try on rolexes and such, dress nicely and smart and they may not be total fuckfaces to you, just like every other place selling luxury stuff. Unless you have made business with them or own several luxury watches and know your stuff, they may hate you as window shopper.

Some places may even have you buzzing outside the door before a guard gets out of the backroom.

>>9946710
The two watches idea sounds really good actually, good allow for either 2 watches of the same variant in case of, as you said, I lose one then I still have the other. Or it could allow for two different watches which can cover as many bases as possible.

And you might be slightly correct on the "mental masturbation", not all terrains are "rugged and extreme" but it depends. Like for example most of the time I usually stay in my state and just travel around, we have remote mountains in my parts which I usually hike alone and there is risk of getting lost, risk of very dangerous animals, etc. A lot of the more 'extreme' environments are more or less special occasions. I went on a cruise to Alaska (which is mind blowingly beautiful, you should look into it some day if possible.) in which I hiked out in the remote woods there once again, by myself. And that was pretty brutal, the temperatures were incredible and whilst fortunately I did not get any close encounters with any dangerous animals I got to see some from a distance which is fine for me. I've been to places like fairly great conditions in the U.S such as remote deserts (once again, these places are so beautiful yet so deadly), Appalachian mountains, Florida everglades, all the way to areas in Canada, Australia, England, Philippines, etc. (Usually go to places like deserts and swamps with somebody else, get stuck there and you are out of luck.) But once again those are 'special occasions' and so I don't regularly go on those so I have to wait a while to save up. But I digress.

Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it.

No.

>>9947695
A passable version of the current model ss sub will cost you around 500$ US.

The thing is, though, if you don't look the part, it's still going to be an obvious fake.

>>9947695
and obtaining it is another issue. sending money overseas is a gamble. and there's a chance you just take a loss and the money is gone. But I guess if you can't write-off 500$ then you shouldn't be wearing a Rolex anyway.

How tough is it to replace a bezel and re-lume a watch? I got a piece that has a really tight bezel and a worn-out joke of a lume

>>9941303
Electronics can never be real luxury. They tried that with the Virtu, or whatever they are phones and every year some ferrari or lambo trademark license owner tries to put out a souped up android phone. They are forgotten in months and outdate too quickly to be ever on par with real luxury watches, etc.
Rolexes, etc keep their value forever, plastic apple watch is in the recycle bin next year and become obsolete with updated models, software, etc.

How do you do that? I'm stupid, so I don't want to read the full article about it to understand. I have tachymetre on my own watch, but I don't know how I'd use it.

Say for example you know the exact distance between two points, start timing when you hit the first point, and stop it at the second. Wherever the timing stopped is your average speed.

>>9956132
That only works if the watch assumes one specific distance. The numbers are fixed on the watch, it says 400 to 60. It can't be just be any distance for it to work.

>>9956146

I like rose gold and think it's good on dress watches. However I think the overall design of the Royal Oak is too casual to work properly with rose gold.

I'm not him, but Breitling watches has a bit of a "noisy" design, inspired by airplane cockpits. Its design isn't for everyone maybe, but their watches are top quality. Of course, no one who ever wore a watch will have trouble remember where the hours and minutes are on a watch, and surely anyone who are interested enough to spend money on a Breitling will know this, so don't you worry about how he reads the watch.

Never seen a buttplug that intricate before. Doesn't shit get stuck in the anchors though? #1%problems am i right?

>>9941200
A rolex is never a good cop, unless you don't intend to wear it, because it gives off an impression of nuveau riche especially on someone who dresses marginally well and you really don't want that, ever.

>>9958081
any recommendations for similar, simple styles?

Recently copped this one for 50 bucks.
I mean it does look kinda clunky and the lumen is probably extremely radioactive, but I honestly like it.
Might swap out the metal for a leather strap, though.

That watch is way too manly for your skelly wrists. Also looks too big, what's up with the floating strap @ the top lug?

>>9958403

Working on that, they've looked much more skeletal a few weeks ago.

Probably the weird way I pressed it onto the wood, I dunno.

>>9958351
Ive been wearing rolex for three years and only a few people have ever comments on them

Are you meaning to say that people will think this even if they don't say it? I wear them because they're good everyday watches that can take a beating, but this is what people think??

>>9959374
It's usually either that or "it's a pretty good fake".

>>9959378
>be wearing rolex for three years
>have no idea that everybody thinks I'm a nuveau riche asshole or it's fake

Fuck, why can't I just love the watch?

>>9959385
Because it's a fucking Rolex.
And it's not even that expensive to validate either of those two thoughts and people still think it.

>>9959385
One of the things about owning watches, specifically notable luxury watches (Rolex, pretty much. The average person doesn't know or has very little knowledge on what the fuck a Ulysse Nardin, Patek Philippe, etc is.) is that you will have to deal with the fact that unless you dress the part, a lot of people will automatically assume fake.

I've been wearing Rolexes since I was 16, and when I was in those young years, I could show people EVERYTHING. The box, tags, receipt, etc. They would still think it's fake simply because I was so young.

I think we can often forget how tiny watches are, so to most people when they see "Rolex" all they see is "Something only rich people buy for something so small" so there's this instant "Fake as fuck" vibe unless, as I said, you look the part.

You will have to deal with it, if you care that much about whether people think your watch is fake or not you need to understand that your Rolex should probably rather be sold, buy a cheaper but very slick looking watch and spend the cash on other stuff.

>>9959408
I know that feel, I wore rolex as a teenager too.

>>9950245
I agree on that, but the movement doesn't really matter to me as long as the second hand sweeps

Is Gshock effay? I'm still wondering if I should get GA100.

the average person actually has any idea how much a Rolex costs or how it can be an investment, in some cases.

They don't know that a SS Sub second-hand minty minty can be had for only a few grand, either.

Whatever. I just wear mine and don't say a word about it. If they ask if it's real I just say "I sure hope so."

>>9960311
I just saw a vid on the Gravity Defier and thought it was one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. I've hated Gshocks before that moment.

That's amazing man. How did you tell? You've got sharp eyes.
Yeah I know plating will come off eventually :(, Do you know when though? I'm actually thinking about picking up another stainless steel version.

How would a grey strap with a silver watch go?

Would the strap technically being cloth throw the rest of it off? Would you have to match clothes to it, or treat it as a normal stainless/silver watch?

Pic not entirely related, one I'm looking at is a more tightly woven grey, shiny almost

I've recently stepped into manhood, and became a wristwatch efficienado. I'm looking for a specific watch, but don't wanna pay out of my ass for a vintage rusty one.

Where could I procure an A-11 by Bulova/Elgin/Waltham? Thanks in advance.

>>9959408
they're pretty clueless if they don't know Patek Philippe.

>>9954024

Nice. Only wear it with over the top everything snd use Versace Eros when you do. A certain kind of women will be all over you. Good luck, mang.

>>9953996
i saw this pic, did some research, impulse bought a stock watch. so perfectly minimalist, honestly one of the best looking watches ive seen. hope it fits good and lasts.

Thoughts on this?

Is Paul Smith gay? I can't tell if his stuff is gay. I hate all his clothes but I like his watches.

rate my seatouch

not high fashion but i have a very active lifestyle, snowboarding, trekking, surfing, diving, boating. wanted a good looking watch that is still very practical

not a fan of g-shocks

>>9963321
Not bad

I would put it on a rubber strap if I were you though, if you're as active as you say

>>9961540
Shameless self bump

>>9963252
I own a DW similar, silver with a black strap. Get many compliments on it.

Very elegant and minimal style. Always works well with smart casual and formal attire for me.

Breddy gud mate.

Just got this one, won at a jewelery store i frequent

Thanks clover for not adding my watch

>>9963351
pics?

>>9963326
I've snapped two rubber straps in the past, happy with links for now
i love it btw

>>9958391
I like this one, is it good? It will be my first watch.

>>9963637
first mechanical ? Be careful not to do sports with it, I broke mine while commuting on my bike.
Dancing is okay tho, its a decent watch.

>>9963650
Is it durable? How long would it generally last with regular use? Thanks dude

Poorfag looking to buy a first watch, looked at some websites and most watches I've founded under 100 euros looked pretty tacky, but I kinda like those Timex watches (Easy Reader models), under 60 euros. I have no knowledge of watches but just wanted something simple and classic to start with, would appreciate some feedback, opinions or other recs, I'm leaning towards the one on the right. What does /watch/ think? Do they look too cheap or decent to people who know watches?

Also my wrists are quite thin, the one on the right is 35mm, that should be suited to thin wrists, right? I'm think the one on the left (42mm) might be too big for me and look silly on me.

is a 40mm watch too big for my 6.5 inch (diameter) wrists? pictured is my 38mm timex weekender, and i want to get http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-Speedway-Collection-Chronograph-Watch/dp/B0006AAS5G/ but im not sure if it would look too foolish ;_;

What's the most popular minimalist watch today?

>>9966148

Most popular or best? Because those are two very different things.

>>9966162
Popular. No interest in hearing what any one person thinks.

>>9966168

My guess would probably be either like Komono or MVMT. Maybe the Movado Museum collection if you don't mind jumping way up in price.

Now in feel kinda bad for outing you but now I gotta tell you why I guess. Sorry.

Truth is I have one too :^) in stainless steel of course.

The problem with gold reps is that unless you treat them extremely carefully the gold WILL wear, especially on the crown and inside the clasp. And a stainless crown on a gold watch is an instant tell.

It is a very nice nice well built watch though. From normal viewing distance and up to maybe a few feet away it will look gen assuming the person knows jack shit about watches. To the average person it may as well cost 40k. The only reason I could tell it was a rep is because I own the same rep and the fact that it was a close up shot.

When we're in the rep game, we often forget that nobody is going to really notice that the caseback is 1.5 mm thicker than the gen, or that there isn't as much AR as you'd like. (I wear mine very loosely with a bracelet on the same wrist which makes it appear thinner too.)

>>9966858
This is the same with all cheap watches. Hell even Hublot uses generic ETA movements in some of their models

>>9966689
If you are sad parting with it, you shouldn't sell it.
It's not as if it's worth a lot.

Did anyone ever buy from creationwatches? They are kind of cheap compared to other establishments so i'm kind of wary.

>>9941835
How much for the one on the right

I am thinking about buying the orient bambino on that list but I can only get it with a brown strap. Where would I be able to buy good straps and stuff

>>9969037
Also I'm conflicted as to which one to get. Will be my first watch and daily driver.

>>9969072
i prefer the right

>>9969072

I like the left's dial but the right's face.

What exactly is the difference between the amphibian and the komandirskie? On the site the only difference I can notice is the strap

>>9969037
It's a good choice if you don't have a lot of money, they have quite a large dome on the crystals though, this is a positive for some amd a negative for other's

>>9969175
Different designs, the amphibian has a different case material and better water resistance

Is the Orient Day/Date any good?
I found a neat one on ebay.

>>9968906
That wasn't the point but okay

>>9969175
The amphibia is automatic. Most dirskes are manual wound

>>9964212
an easy reader is a good choice for you. I'd look into Timex's Weekender line, which come in a large variety of styles and are also solid, reliable watches in the poorfag pricepoint. to people who know watches, those models are seen as a cheap watch with ZERO prestige, but accepted as legitimate in terms of being a solid and reliable value; worth the money as opposed to fashion brands that are similar or worse quality-wise yet cost far more because they are branded Emporio Armani or DW or whatever.


you are right, for skelly wrists, 40mm is pushing the limit. above that is right out.
