What about the cheaper options from Nomos, like the Tangente?

[Anonymous No.14755802]

>>14755798
I don't care much for most Nomos designs besides the Lambda. The Tangente for example is a bit too bulky for my taste. I prefer the rounded edges and smoothness of the Lambda and the Max Bill watch.

Timex shitters shouldn't even be an option to you because of the shitty snap on caseback that's impossible to get back on and a very high friction movement thats innacurate (by quartz standards) and loud as fuck.
Timex shitters are the reason they don't let you have a watch during standardized exams anymore, that's how fucking loud they are.
The casio mtp and mdv lines are much better with movements that will actually last.

It might well be that I'm wrong, but the image I get of them is that they're pretty much unapologetic unpretentious no-nonsense watches, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it would make some sense to make a few higher-end pieces to show what you're capable of.

Why so many shitters? You don't have poor taste (mostly), you seem to just be misguided.

My reccomendations:

>toss the shitter whogivesafuck-reference seamaster away and get a 2531.80/brosnan
>toss the shitter steinshart for a 5 digit sub
>toss the shitter 60mm hamilton dress piece of shit, the garbage dan whocares mechaquartz, the autistic g-shock and the fucking garbage soiko/orients, none of these have any value and you should be embarrassed to own them

The Hamilton is a passable every day watch to wear as a casual piece, and though the NTH is a fucking shitter, aesthetically it looks the part and will do nicely on a NATO to wear while changing the oil on your car, knocking down walls in your house, carrying a piano up a staircase etc. Maybe you can give the Casio digital away to a kid or something. Once all that is done you can add a MAAAAAAAAN ON THE PHUCKEN MOON.

Overall I give your collection a 3.25/10, significant improvement is needed, you must try harder.

The military spec thing was mostly tongue in cheek. it does have different design and built for more rugged things being a Breaching Watch for the French equivalent of S.W.A.T.

Bell and Ross's BR- Series are super an acquired taste, there is just something very strong about the screws and the PANERAI looking numbers on the face. They are affordable also and hold up better than most watches in that price range.
