I really want a nice 2k watch, but I legit love my fitness and sleep tracker. I use it constantly. It delivers an outstanding report on my sleep every night. I can see if I am stressed or when I drank coffee by looking at my heart rate time series.

Why do the most incredible complications need to be on the £100 watches?! Its so uncool but genuinely fun and useful.

Daily reminder that only autistic retards save up for a watch.
You should never buy a watch that you need to save up for, any watch you buy should be comfortably covered by your monthly paycheck.

Objective reasons why Longines is the best watch brand in the world

- Gorgeous, memorable logo and name
- The winged hourglass logo, which was registered in 1889, is the oldest unchanged yet still active registeredtrademark
- ETA began making custom movements reserved for Longines - technically in-house movements, since they’re part of the same manufacturer
- The CEO of Longines, Walter von Känel, isn’t some hired commercial manager, but worked 50 (!) years for the brand
- Annual calendar watch for only $2000
- Best watches in the $1000-$2000 range with the Master and Heritage collection
- 5th most profitable watch brand in the world, just below Patek Philippe
- Honest watchmaking: you’re paying for functionality, design and quality
- The Heritage chronograph might as well be the most beautiful watch in the world
- Has ETA production factories reserved for itself
- Designs full of understated class
- Rich history and heritage: founded 75 years before Rolex and 15 years before Omega
- Perfect price point, between posh luxury and cheapish brands
- Audrey Hepburn adored the brand. Buy it for her.
- Albert Einstein adored the brand. So it’s stupid to hate it.
- Introduced the very first watch with an LCD screen to the market
- Brought its first Quartz to the market in the same year as Seiko, announced the first commercial Quartz before Seiko
- Brought United States watchmaking know-how to Switzerland
- „Elegance is an attitude“

I want a fashion watch but I use this too much to give it up. It's soooo useful and fun and interesting. My deep sleep continuity was low last night apparently - how else would I know that??

$2k is just way too much for a generic looking no-name brand watch.

For $1000 you can get a used Omega Speedmaster
For $500 you can get an AAA+ super replica NWBIG big watch like a Panerai
For $50-200 you can buy genuinely fantastic looking Chinese watches with Seagulls that are as accurate as the swiss Selita in yourMonta watch
For $1.5k you can get a truly innovative microband watch with Swiss movement like a dimascus titanium Zelos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsuj4wHFv9U&lc=z23dhzdb0unrwh3zo04t1aokgbkyi2yjk02evkewfzsbrk0h00410.1561909910149799

My point was: dont get a submariner clone from a microbrand for 2k.

If you do want to go microbrand then make it an interesting niche. Or get a really good $300 submariner clone. I mean Steinhart is better than than microbrand AND cheaper. Get a bronze one maybe. Have a reason to get the microbrand.

The microbrand I linked was genuinely innovative. Nobody else has done a Titanium Dimascus watch. Even steel dimascus is rare and it doesn't have the tie-die look. Its really out there and different and genuinely technically challenging to machine it. Its not just another machined 316L with selita. One of those $1.5k titanium dismascus watches also goes to a depth of 1000m. Very impressive. And they only started a few years ago.

It means a very specific thing. Google 'Dimascus' and then google 'titanium'.

It is for the crazy patterns. But titanium is harder than steel. One reason to appreciate it as a watch case is its very challenging to construct it, much more expensive than steel. You know how Rolex users go on about 904L steel? now THAT is marketing bullshit.

> no heritage behind it

LOL no shit. Its new. The point is its never been done before and its unique and challenging to create. And it cant be mass produced, its done by hand.

No. I think SEIKO watches all are pointless. Its like the jeans and checkered shirt of watches. It is boring and beta male. Its playing it safe.
I like a lot of microbrands doing innovative designs at the same price point.
Or get a solid 18k second hand dress watch.
Or get a Panerai aaa+ super replica like me
Or, I am right now wearing a £100 honor magic watch myself which has great heart rate and sleep tracking and an amazing looking amoled screen. I love using it so much, I am learning so much about myself from it. Buy a high end strap for £100 and you get compliments unlike a SEIKO.
I might even hack apart my incoming Panerai Submersible replica and put the honor magic inside. I also have an aliexpress hublot on its way. Dont know which Ill use for this yet.
I am not poor shaming. I am beta male shaming. Be rich alpha or poor alpha, I dont care, but dont be beta. Dont pick a cheap AND safe option. Pick a cheap option that adds to your life meaningfully (sleep and HRM and blood pressure tracking) or looks amazing and adds to your outfit, or gives you status in your circles, or pick an expensive classy safe option like an 18k white gold calatrava. SEIKO doesnt give you any of that; better to spend that money on a better smartphone and no watch .

>After trying to buy a Daytona C white dial for the past 2 years and not even being able to get onto even a waiting list I've decided to call it a day.

>I have gone into many ADs around the world and even at one stage was able to buy one grey for £16k (which now seems like a bargain) but was unable to get to the dealer in time before he sold it to someone else.

>All I wanted to do after working hard my life was treat myself to a Daytona which my son could see me wear for the years to come. Then one day be passed down to him with some meaning behind it.

Yeah but why would anybody want a modern ETA Tudor (at least old ones had the Rolex cases and crowns) when you can have a Oris 65 which is slimmer, 40mm etc? Also with interesting bronze combinations...

No one wants a tudor, they settle for one. Yes, I believe oris is a serious entry level competitor now.

Imagine being treated this poorly and still bending over backwards to shell out 20k for a mass produced watched not in a precious metal.

This is why alpha males are buying replicas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upAJE_XhT2Y

Lol that Bulova moonwatch looks so bad.
It looks like the Speedmaster’s retarded cousin.

>>14456636
Sort of true, you need 20k-30k in the bank before you buy and not give a fk

>>14456654
I bought the Bulova first on sale, sold it, bought a speedy. It a good watch if you can only afford £400ish but the finishing is seiko level. You need to handle the speedy before you start memeing this Bulova shit all the time. I cringe everytime I see you post this shit about the Luna pilot, you clearly never handled any higher end watches.

this man does nothing but dress up in other people's clothes and pretend to be other people for a living. he's believable and makes the jews in hollywood money, and he's from a family of other actors. the lowest caste in historical society. the fact he's wearing some custom pervered Daytona only shows you what an insecure, fake little man this attention-whoring thing really is.

ps- con air is fucking hilarious

I have that armida in my case and home and the lug-to-lug makes it wear very large. Pretty nice but not my go-to by any means.
