Here's how Lange applies their perlage. That's tip is made out of rubber-like material and is grained with abrasive paper before it's used on the plates and bridges (not shown in the video). For more, watch the thread video.

I do a lot of outdoor activities and I mainly wear G-shock and Suunto watches. I have appreciate quality watches from lurking here and have done so for many years, but can't justify the purchase for my habits.

I have a few divers etc and think this would be a perfect beater watch that looks nice and crisp. I'm sick of g-shocks atm. I'm sure I'll get made fun of but I just wouldn't feel comfortable wearing a Rolex daydate while I went diving, hunting or fishing... Even to my job, I would be paranoid it would get scratched etc.

Nothing cheaper will actually be Swiss, nor will it have actual heritage.

Why wouldn't you try them on before saving? Though I should imagine trying on watches in an AD with no intention of buying would be even more stress inducing. I live pretty close to an ALS AD and I'd to just handle a Zeitwerk and try it on but I feel like I'm just wasting their time and they'd know it.

A few Brietlings, the 41mm Burgundy Black Bay and a Speedmaster, both on steel bands. There were a bunch of Seamasters but I didn't really like the look of them so I didn't try them.

The only thing that caught my eye was the Submariner the AD guy had on, the Tudor looked like cheap shit by comparison. I was surprised at how okay-ish the Brietlings were considering people shit on them non-stop, the bezels felt cheap though.

Breitlings are too busy for me. Black Bays have folded end-links and the Söymasters are mass-produced as it is a cash cow for Omega. Don’t feel bad for trying it on and not buying. Would you buy an expensive pair of shoes without trying them on and making sure you like them?

Breitling have legit upped their game in recent years. I'm not embarrassed to say they have some good watches atm.

Omega are a mixed bunch. They do have some nice dress watches but remember they are at the same level as Tudor price-wise so can't compare to Rolex when it comes to divers.

As long as you look half way human most stores will be fine. They know you can't always tell who has money.

Reminds me of my boss who went into a car dealership a few years back. He was wearing his ripped $5 jeans, $2 walmart t-shirt and said he wanted a car. Boss of the dealership took one look at him and fobbed him off onto the junior salesman who was only of the 2nd day of his job. My boss who is worth about $100m in total pointed at a $85k car, said I'll take that one, paid for it there and then and the junior got $5k in commission. The faces on the other salesmen was priceless.

Just don't take it too seriously and don't chase some luxury prestige. It's all just a rat-race and the loser is the idiot that pays the bill. You had high expectations and luckily got a dose of reality, before throwing money away for pricey garbage. Be glad, most people never had such a lesson. Continue exploring watches, you will find something that suits your standards.

Search for "rolex stainless steel watch shortage" on YT to get an insight. Also people buy them up and flip them, further increasing the price.
I wouldn't want to be involved with this mess. Even tho i know so little about what's going on, i'd already feel cheated if i spent money on one of these watches. Also modern rolex is soulles and boring. If you want one, get at least something older with more charme.

They are no more overpriced than they've ever been. A Rolex still cost many months salary back in the 1960's, just like today.

That graph is in USD. The watches are made in Switzerland. CHF. Exchange rates change, Economics 101.

What's a good entry level HAQ? Been wearing a citizen with eco-drive for 5 years and recently it started to get a bit faster, about 1 and a half minutes per month. Although to be fair I wear the watch everywhere in a lot of rough conditions.
Not looking for something super accurate, but something like +/-10s per month would be ideal.

The exchange rate did not fluctuate that hard to justify the retarded price increase, stop defending companies for free.
Rolexes job is to produce as cheap as possible and sell it as expensive as possible to you. And they will do it by any means.

I walked into the ALS boutique in west palm and the guy was super friendly.
Mind I was wearing casual clothes and a simple watch.
Told him I was just browsing. Looked at a few watches and he gave me the 2018 catalogue on the way out.
really fun experience.
The 1815 Chronograph has been my grail since then.
Don’t be anxious to go into a boutique and try watches on, the people there are non elitist and love talking about their product.
Never had a bad experience.

they put you on a "waiting list" if you want an in demand model. they don't want to pull a yeezy and oversaturate the market to maintain the demand high.

they already do. but if you mean they can nudge it higher and still stay under patek sport model prices then I guess.

Well, if it were adjusted to the CHF, then my graph would have to be higher in the first years until 1975, where the CHF was 4x the dollars value, then slowly falling to 2.5x the value.

And as the values get closer to 1:1, my graph should be getting flatter but instead it continues to rise in an almost straight line.

Why the fuck are there basically no clean steel sports watches?

I just want an affordable Rolex Explorer-esque watch, but everythings fucked. The only options as I see it are the Seiko SARB033, which are annoying to buy, or Longines Conquest Auto, but Longines as a whole gives me faux-rich vibes. Everything else either errs on the dressy side, is an over-designed piece of shit, or is too close to Rolex prices that I may as well buy one (which I will in the future)

Should I just take the diver pill? There's far more options at every price point, they just feel s.oy as fuck to me for some reason, its too #beards and #whiskey. What do people think about Phoibos?

Is it a slightly domed mineral crystal? Looks like heat and cold is a common problem with microbrands and other low-volume production shitters. It happened ten years ago with the 2007 edition of the 1967 Amphibia. You can still find the forum of people finding their limited Amphibia with a mineral crystal cracked in the bathroom after taking it off for a shower.

Few months ago I had a microbrand shitter in (pic) that also had its domed mineral crystal spontaneously crack.

I was the exact opposite.
After all those hours looking at watches in pics, first time I handled "real" watches I was absolutely blown away by how tiny and perfect everything looks irl.
Even a Speedmaster, which I always thought was going to look pretty bland, looked absolutely amazing in the hand.
The effect is twice as prominent with Grand Seiko; I could see the entire store reflected in the case flank, down to the most minute detail.

kek, why won't they sell you a rolex? you mean a sub? it's the same for everyone else, get on the list or buy one used at +25% retail.

I wouldn't get a sub anyways, I think it's the most overdone rolex in history. You can get rolex quality in any of their models. I got myself an OP 36, which has the same 3130 movement a no date sub has. Build quality is definitely the same, only place you can notice the OP is an "entry model" is the rolex emblem on the clasp, which is engraved instead of embossed like on the more expensive models. I also argue the base OP is the best rolex because it represents the quintessential rolex qualities. The oyster perpetual was their first model, and the first model to have an oyster case and bracelet (same as today). It's also seriously versatile with a black dial, fashion wise.

>basically an old GS movement.
Not exactly, but close. The 4S15 is based on the old Daini Seikosha produced 52xx series movements used in some King Seiko models in the early 1970s. When Seiko wanted to bring back high-grade mechanical watch production in the early 1990s, they dusted off the 52xx and updated it as the 4Sxx family. You can basically think of it as an ETA 2892A2 top grade equivalent.

After using the 4S15 in mid-range watches for a few years, Seiko decided that the 4Sxx was too labour intensive to produce and too high-end a movement to use in mid-range watches, and moved the the movement over to its Credor sub-brand and replaced it with the inferior 6Rxx family of movements in its mid-range offerings.

ok let me put it this way so your 70 iq can understand. if the red line was flat across the graph, then the price of a sub would have kept the same over the years adjusted for inflation. meaning:
1970, 1 dollar = 1 dollar
in this example, lets say the rolex sub cost 10 dollars in 1970
if in 2000, 1 1970 dollar = 5 dollars (inflation at work)
then the sub would cost 10x5 = 50 dollars.

^that would be if the red line was perfectly flat and straight across the graph. see, the red line is going up slightly, which means the price of a rolex adjusted for inflation is increasing faster than what would be caused by just inflation (which is unavoidable).

okay, so if you know anything about inflation vs cost of living, you can check and see that almost every single thing you can buy has increased ahead of inflation, so this is in no way out of the ordinary, im fact, the red line represents a very low relative price bump from rolex. if you reply with a pepe, kill yourself asap

really? it works the exact same way, it's just not as important when you're not in zero gravity in a space ship. they didn't want sapphire because the glass could shatter and float around and puncture something. hesalite breaks more like windshield glass and isn't sharp when broken.

sapphire glass isn't even better than hesalite, it's just way more scratch resistant. popular with consumers because people don't want to scratch the watch, but it's also way less impact resistant than hesalite. that's why hesalite is good in field watches

They worked with Breitling more than Omega pre Apollo 11 mission completion. They picked the speedy up from a store and was the first watch that past their tests, no cooperation at all in the design of the watch. Bulova and Rolex GMT were as NASA designed (both have been to the moon).
At least the Breitling 24 hour was (rumoured to have been) a request from an astronaut, he requested a 24 hour version of his Navitimer he loved so much. Coincidentally the first watch in space as well though it may have been the 12 hour version.

Should I pull the trigger on the 36mm Legend Diver? I have bitch wrists and think I’ll never find such a nice looking non-vintage Swiss diver.
I could get it for 1600€ or maybe a bit cheaper if I convince the dealer, which is a jewellery in another city (retail price on the longines website is 1860€)
