black dials dont usually have anywhere near the beauty of a color just due to lack of reflectity and changes of light at different angles. Black and white are themost understated colors.

This depends. If all you have is venmo setup on your phone youre going to have a hard time getting a place to stay or a plain ticket. I dont keep my credit card setup on my phone usually. Also doesnt hurt to have redundancies, you can always take the rolex and sell it, if youre in a developed country it wont be hard finding a jeweler that can verify it and buy it.

Are you intentionally dense? I never said anything about third world. I said my friend was in a foreign country, alone, and lost access to her money. She had to get someone in the states to wire money to a bank or something which ended up taking a lot of time and was i imagine very stressful. If she didnt have someone here that could wire money like that it would have been worse. Something like a watch that doesnt leave your wrist is a good back when youre out in the world on your own. I wouldnt immediately be going to sell a watch i like but it's nice to have the knowledge in the back of your mind that the option is there.

>>17982825
I do agree it's very unlikely to be be actually needed in this day and age but shit happens. Wallets get lost, phones are very easily broken, etc. If you have a Rolex you might as well wear it around the world with you.

It's a handsome watch. (The XL version is handwinding, with a Piaget Altiplano movement)

The problem is only 30m WR and that's not much if you intend to wear it daily. You'll have to be careful even just washing your hands. Of course, you'd probably be careful anyway since you wouldn't want to get that strap wet.

It's also not a very good value. It's good-looking but it's also just a simple, steel quartz watch. The name and design carries a lot of markup. It'd be better to get one used and let someone else take the depreciation hit.

For starters, the Omega Seamaster 300 was only created back in the late 1950s/early 60s because of the success of the Rolex Submariner.
It follows all of the Sub's design codes down to the coloring, size, dial text, case shape, bracelet design, etc; and only makes little tweaks to the index and hand shape to say "Nope, we're different, totally original."

I think the FF is the one that gets away with not being a cope because it has its own history and also has its own distinctive design language and appeals to Hot Horology fags.
Panerai are not Sub copes. Definitely their own design but most of them really aren't divers anymore.
Neither are Doxa SUBs. Doxa owners are weirdos and don't actually want Submariners. They also go out of their way to document themselves diving with their watches. Too bad it's a zombie brand, though.

I go swimming twice per week and sometimes I take extra deep dives just so I can read the time under water and pretend im some deep sea diver, but maybe thats just because im fucking autistic or something.

It looks good, but /fa/ really is the last place on the internet where you'd get a valuable (i.e. applicable to real life) take on what works for you, in terms of fashion at least.
Personally I don't like watches with any sort of date display because you have to manually readjust them every few months.
Would look more serious without the chrono dials as well, but it definitely doesn't look too busy. Big buttons are a big turnoff on most watches, but on square cases they don't bother me too much.

Why do people even like this thing? It wears like shit and has a stupid gimmick.
>b-b-b-but muh polo players!!!!
How about taking off your watch while playing you stupid britbong? There was no need to come up with this whole thing.

That's a sun & moon.
Moonphases are god tier, except for some autists who think all watches should be 34mm two-handers. You will never encounter these basement dwellers in the real world so who cares.

You don't buy it to wear it though.
You buy it to put it in a watchbox and post your collection for a few upvotes on Reddit.

If you get the right size Reverso, it wears just fine. Wristlets are too scared to buy something in a size medium or small.

>Why do people even like this thing?
Dunno. I know /wt/ used to love it until someone here bought one. Now we hate it.

[Anonymous No.17983854]

>>17983719
Curious how you never post any angles other than head on
Maybe it's because the watch is fucking 16mm thick? kek

>Are moonphases really dress? I think a first dress watch should be very simple

They can be. It's more the execution than the complication itself.
If the case is elegant and the dial is well-executed, then a moonphase can be part of a very dressy watch.
Picrel. Sure, some autists will start screeching about how anything other than a Tank is a dress watch, but they're easily ignored.

JLC used to be that one likable brand that only "watch people" knew and appreciated.
With the insane price hikes and Lenny Kravitz as a brand ambassador people have turned their back on the brand.

Ah, nice bad faith argument.

If you decide you don't like a watch brand anymore because they hire a black (and Jewish) musician to be a spokesman, yeah, that makes you a racist. Full stop.

I wonder if there's some tension in the Kravitz household, what with Zoe being an Omega spokesmodel. Do family dinners devolve into Swatch vs Richemont screaming matches?

[Anonymous No.17983876]

I don't like him because he makes shit music, dresses like an histrionic fag and overplays that whole ROCKSTAR!!!! cringe persona.
JLC is understated. Lenny Kravitz is the opposite of that.

Here's your JLC, friend. Subtle, isn't it? Most non-watch people wouldn't even notice it. It's only 47mm across.

JLC is mostly known for the Reverso and the Master Control lines which are indeed understated.
