This hobby is the worst. I assembled probably a dozen virtual watch collections but I can't buy anything because I'm too poor. I know all there is to know about watches now, and every time I add a watch to my virtual collection, I lose interest in it and don't see the point of working to afford it in real life, because I won't be able to afford the entire colection, and I won't be able to afford the next tier later on in life, and so on.

Oh well.

the armband things arent great, they will start to stink after a while, and need handwashing. After a few months the cheap foam will stretch out, and you will go further and further down until running out of velcro to attach them. then it'll be another $10 purchase..

a fanny pack is actually much better and the weight is centred, even if its slightly uncool, but whatever

Because they're used to have their phone at all times. It does a lot of things compared to a watch that "only" tells the time.
So why waste money on a watch when you can just look at your phone?
That simple conundrum is something the watch industry hasn't managed to tackle and it has costed them an entire generation of customers, it seems.

Just sayin', that's the reasoning and that's the result.
The "return" of watches thanks to fashion watches is fairly recent a a bulk of the 19-30 demographics still don't wear them because, well, their phones already do anything they think a watch does. a watch would be an extra expense for a function that's already covered by something you have on yourself all the time.
That age demographic is probably the least educated on what watches are and what they do so the basic reasoning is "watches are expensive anyway, and my phones does the same stuff and then some so why bother?".
And believe it or not, a whole lot of that demographic doesn't care enough about instagram and youtube to be exposed to MVMT and DW marketing either.

Watches are selling better now than they have been since the mid 2000s thanks to the fashion watch, so that's a way they are returning. I said nothing about luxury, at the end of the day that's its own market with its own dynamics.

The Swiss watch industry federation publishes its numbers regularly, so do a bunch of other market analysts and overall, the 100-300€ share of the market is the one that has seen the most growth, and that's precisely where you find your DWs and such.
Last time I checked that's what's usually meant by "fashion watch" and these have been doing very well thanks to some pretty aggressive and efficient online marketing to tap into a demographic that was not interested in watches because "just look at your phone" and didn't know much about it which left them unaware that they're being sold dropshipped items.
FFS DW itself is one of the fastest growing companies in the world and one of the most profitable in Europe.

Good job ignoring all the previous posts and what I've been trying to say all along.
Both are actually true.
That share of the market is growing, these brands are doing very well because the demographic they target had no interest in watches. They're making bank on it because no one else competes in it as well as they do.
That doesn't mean they have all of it and no matter how well they are doing, the 19-30 age range is still mostly not that interested in watches.
So yes, that same demographic can both be mostly in the "just look at your phone" mindset and be what's making the fashion watch brands boom because demographics aren't monolithic in their purchase habits.

I already have : go check the swiss watch industry federation's published figures, go check growth numbers for the companies I've named, go check the several reports that point to some growing watch companies when in the early 2010s, the general trend was "millenials are ruining the watch industry" because they'd rather look at their phones.

No, the mid-2000s is precisely when sales dropped, the "return" is pretty recent, started in the late 10s once some marketing-savy people understood how to use the current internet to market through sponsorships and influencers while the established names are busy hosting launch parties nobody cares about anymore.

KS Vanacs are wild. Too bad it's fairly hard finding them in good condition precisely because of the faceted crystals which scratch really easily, are basically unpolishable, and NOS replacements grow fewer and fewer. Rado also did (moderately) faceted sapphire crystals already in the 70's, but the watches are equally retro.

Not the richest guy either, but I can happily own 1-3 good watches for every area of life, leisure, work and dress. Go for Casio, then? Their price/performace ratio is pretty high. Alternatively, you can make yourself a custom one. Watch appreciation is not about the price or brand, rather aesthetics and quality.

What is the point in patek? If you're a black rapper who wants to dab on poor black people, you'd get an AP or Rolex. That makes sense. If you're ultra rich and want a fucking house on your wrist you go Jacob&Co or Richard Mille. Patek, breguet, vacheron, JLC, etc are all pointless really. Exception being the nautilus or aquanaut and like I say I'm pretty sure people who want to show off would still choose AP or Rolex. Watches that aren't Rolex, RM or Jacob annoy the fuck out of me. The fact a person would buy a watch over a house or car irritates me too. Idc if you have 200m in the bank, spending hundred k on a watch is pointless.

i wouldnt wear a mechanical for running, it would be stressful for the movement, but if you really have to get one probably the skx013.(yes, the usual i know..)better than skx007 as its smaller, doesnt get in the way, less bulky.
the bottom basic SNK comes on fabric but they are really shitty and you probably wouldnt want to use the stock strap anyway. lack of workable WR is a problem too. So I would suggest the SNZG
look at Boldr too, they give a lot more value while still using seiko movement. Small size, 200WR, sapphire, screwdown, titanium cases

its not the same equivalent as they are not constantly firing their rifles -non stop- for hours a day
a run can last hours if you are seriously into the sport
each time your ankle contacts the ground the force exerted is like 3-4 times your body weight, this is why runners often get joint issues later on as well
if a body that can repair itself can get worn out from exercise imagine what it does to tiny tiny interlocked spinning gears

>This high level of repetition is bad enough on its own, but making matters worse is the fact that each of these heel strikes is associated with a tremendous amount of impact force. Studies have shown that each heel strike produces a force that is
equal to 3 - 4 times your bodyweight. For a 150pound runner, this means that each heel strike will generate approximately 600 pounds of pressure.

Distinctive, bold design choices that leave an impression. How many watches have rocket indices, or a transparent seconds disc featuring a satellite orbiting around the earth?

My uncle was in the SASR (aussie SAS Regiment) during Vietnam. I asked him once what sort of watch he wore, hoping he'd have a story like the British SAS/SBS that got those coveted rolex milsubs.
Nope. Cheap shit aussie government now, cheap as shit aussie government then. He remembers wearing a fat - relative to "ordinary dress watches" - japanese watch which was probably a seiko or citizen diver of some sort, but he didn't wear it on his wrist. He wore it on a cord around his neck and under his shirt, out of the way. They all did. They couldn't risk it getting snagged on something in a critical moment and also to hide the metal, so that it's glinting didn't give them away during an ambush.
I don't know how common this practice was amongst regular army troops as he's the only vietnam vet I've ever spoken with.

I'd imagine that if the whole spiel about how guns will wreck a mechanical was an actual real problem, then you'll probably hear of accounts of guys that kept their watches this way too.

the cuffs can easily be drawn upward for the sake of the photo.
if you're in the business of selling watches, you would presumably want them worn correctly in promo pics instead of showing the model's hand full of gouges. people routinely pull their cuffs to read their watch, but you wouldn't even notice since the shot wouldn't show the elbow where the cloth is bunched up anyhow.

that watch has actual colour theory (triadic color scheme), red-yellow(gold)-blue
minute hand correct reaches the edge, text is minimal, the crown is of a correct size especially for a handwind, lug spacing between case and strap is correct and tight.

It bothers me greatly to see so many people who refuse to conform to society’s norms. The world would be so much more æsthetic and calm if we all followed some simple rules.

Just wanna thank y'all for helping me with tips and giving me the confidence to do my first mod ever with my new SKX013. The watch store near me wanted to charge $45 to switch out a bezel + bezel insert because he had "special tools" to do it. Well, I just did it with a $3 plastic case removal tool and some good ol fashion manpower. Here it is, with a coin edge bezel and a lumed ceramic insert.

well i'm gay and like the other anon said stuff like that is a turn on for gay/bi guys
the musky man smell, the rawness and power. Big strong arms, muscular bodies, and for me personally--the feeling of being protected, the weight of him when hes on top of me, A broad chest that I can bury my face in and fall asleep. With men theres an intensity, and I love that 5'oclock shadow stubble during kissing.

humans are curious by nature and its normal to experiment; I'd like to eventually try a vagina someday as a "things to do in life bucket list". You're probably not gay/inclined that way, or maybe you didnt meet the "right guy" yet.

>>15558866
I know it's a different size, style and way cheaper but if you're considering a bronze case/green dial watch, I just think the Oris big crown pointer is so much better looking and unique.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 12 23:00:39 2020 No.15559999 >>15558866 Is it just me or do IWCs not have any impressive finishing to them to justify their price? Looks like a $500 hamilton, not a $5000 watch.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 12 23:03:26 2020 No.15560004 >>15559999 $5k really isn't a lot of money when it comes to high end watches. But yeah, the low end IWC models are pretty basic.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 12 23:05:18 2020 No.15560008 >>15560004 Maybe not, but other $5k-ish watches at least have noticeably better fit/finish to them than watches 10% their price.

He said that there was definitely a run on explorers. You may have misunderstood me as I put in for an explorer ii polar.
Regardless the guy said all the sport models are 8-10 months out at the moment. Fine by me. It creates an incentive to put more cash in my savings account while I wait.
Plus I’ve got some shitters on the way that I want to wear and enjoy.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 12 23:19:35 2020 No.15560036 >>15559996 not even close. The IWC looks so cheap in comparison, the oris big crown scores very highly. If it didnt say IWC I'd honestly have thought it came from a homage factory.

Dial is very well proportioned. And the minute markers, grouped in 4 is great and even easier to read at a qiuck glance.
