Rolex is a very conservative company, so they don't do wild shit and that's why they've been making money. Basically any 36mm from the fities untill now looks good and will look good fifty years from now.

36mm looks very strange on an average wrist. Like a penny strapped around your arm.

Over time, wristwatches have gone from large to tiny to large and back a few times; and it seems 38-40mm is the sweet spot.

Why is the NH35/4R35 such a reliable and consistent workhorse movement? Every single watch I have with that movement in it has near identical power reserve and keeps +/- 5 sec/day. I expect more variance, especially with all the reports of people getting some wild time variance on theirs. No matter how shitty and unknown the company producing the watch, if it has an NH35 it performs lights out for me. Maybe I'm just lucky? It's not the smoothest sweep, it doesn't have ample power reserve but it's so damn consistent and reliable in my collection.

there probably is, but every microbrand <$500 just chooses the nh3x family, and maybe once in a while a miyota
there is a serious lack of widely available supply for small handwind movement

The parts alone seem to be worth more than the asking price. Add in international shipping, customs and final delivery and at $99 I have no idea how they get away with it without losing their ass. Must have access to a heap of NH35 movements and other parts for pennies on the dollar.

if you want the same range of +- $300 as that tissot it was the sarb033. But it has been discontinued.
not sure what seiko has at that range now, they have been increasing prices all over the board.

Watches are a terrible investment. Putting the money into VTI, SPY or equivalent is the better play. Rolexes have been increasing in value due to their corpo fuckery, maybe if you can snag a Philippe Dufour, George Daniels or piece of actual history like a Breguet made by the man himself, that’s an “investment” in what will be a genuine antique, but in general watches don’t hold their value for shit.

the same is true for most entry microbrands, but to a lesser extent.

what you get with value, you lose it in originality, as many of the watches above are very near homages (not that major watch brands dont do homages...but still)
also they save lots of R&D cost because they use 3rd party movements.
but just like the homage topic, many major brands used, and still do use 3rd party movements. So what is the exact difference?

why should a no-heritage swiss company like B&R have the gall to sell an uninspired SW powered watch for $2000, when a San Martin with even better machining with almost the same movement only sell it at $500?

Guys what should I get as my first Rolex? I am having a hard time deciding between 5 models. I don't think I would be bale to decide unless I saw all in person and tried them on. I've narrowed it down to...

>GMT
>DateJUST
>Oyster Perpetual
>Explorer
>Explorer 2

I like them all differently, for different reasons, but none have exactly what I am wanting. I kind of would like the Explorer if it had the Datejust type hour markers instead of the 3, 6 and 9. The datejust is cool, but I'd rather have the hands of the Explorer.

[Anonymous No.15944777]

>>15944765
How did I know someone was going to say that?

That is also on my radar, but I'm not a big fan of the large outer bezel. Same thing is on the GMT, but not as pronounced, but it does have the second and third time function to offset it. The Yacht Master does not, and I believe it's the most expensive.

If I didn't have to choose I'd get a GMT, Datejust with jubilee and fluted bezel and then an Explorer. Each for a different occasion and style.

what are your opinions on:

- DLC royal oak
- wearing a 41mm AP RO on a 6.5 inch wrist

ignore that this is a rep IDGAF

do you not think plain black is totally different to an iced out watch?

I thought that plain black was even LESS flashy than a regular steel watch. Steel reflects light and catches the eye.

It also would match my clothing much better.

How can you order this so that they somehow hide it so that it doesn't get confiscated by customs?

>I thought that plain black was even LESS flashy than a regular steel watch. Steel reflects light and catches the eye.

for non dark skinned folk a black watch will be more conspicuous. Like.. just try on a black gshock, it sticks out on pale skin. But a viewer upon seeing a steel watch on the same skin just expects it (oh, he wears a watch, whatever...) and will memory-hole it soon enough.

otherwise, yes.

Your mind works in a parallel universe of what actually happens within your life. When you have no faith in yourself and in your life, you make the situation worse and attract more negativity into your life. “Why?” has no answer. Many people end up asking it their whole lives, not realizing it’s a stupid rhetorical question.

so instead of asking why, you should ask..why not?

there are guides on reptime. but very few get confiscated at customs

in fact the best sellers (they call them ADs lol) will send another watch if its confiscated at customs

Slovenia, but no, they are just extremely diligent because they're bored 24/7, it's a tiny country with very few people, so they fine everyone for everything, gotta fill all the quotas. And everything's regulated up the ass now, can't do anything without breaking some EU regulation or some shit.

I think the most versatile Rolex is still the 36 mm Datejust, you really don't need much more. If that's too restrained for you I think the GMT Master is the next best thing and the GMT complication is actually really practical in day to day use, second to only maybe a chronograph.

[Anonymous No.15945007]

>>15945002
It's too bad rolex only uses precious metals for the fluted bezel. Pretty much guarantees those beautiful sharp lines won't last.

>>15944754
Do not pay the retard tax for the GMT. Buy an Explorer 1 if you can find it near retail. If not don’t bother. Rolex makes good watches but not 30%+ over MSRP good. Don’t overpay for an Explorer 2 either. I like the watch but they were available for around $5k for a decade, which is a fair price. The fact that they’re on Chrono24 between $8k and $12k now is laughable.

If you’re unable to find anything reasonable, and you probably will be, just buy JLC. Better movements, better finishing, actual creative designs (as opposed to bloating their case diameters and adding a jubilee bracelet) and you don’t have to deal with Luddite ADs and boomer retards who “know what they got.”

They do have a quartz king seiko homage that you can get with a heat blued seconds hand, that's about as close as you will get.

You should also check out the lobini store, they have some cool stuff like this $200 micro rotor dress watch.

And therefore don't have little 6" boy wrists. Sorry to break it to you but not everyone is an effeminate twink like you. Some of us can wear a 42mm (not including crown) and not have it look like a dinner plate.
