/fa/ - Fashion

Bump

Wrist watches are amazing if worn right. Just dont be an autist about it.

only normies wear wristwatches. it's all about silly bands now

>>12166991
Pure autism, don't bother with a watch it's a dead technology.

if i am genuinely autistic and wear a watch, does that make me a pro autist?

>>12168063
You're a Gran Autismo.

Really though watches under about $100 are tools for checking the time, $100+ is autist tier, and over $1000 is when you get into middle managers measuring their dicks.

Broke my phone back in June. Woke up at a bus stop in bumfuck nowhere after a night of drinking and realized I had no idea what time it is. Copped pic related (obv a promotional shot) the next day.

I like clean/minimilastic design on watches. In hindsight the logo is fucking ugly, but I like it

Wristwatches are pure /fa/ in 2017. Literally the only reason to wear them is for fashion.

>>12168168
The log is ugly, too much of a times new roman font, and I don't care for the specific hands they used, but overall the face and case are nice.

I'm not kanyeezy and probably couldn't do the homeless look very well, but what does /fa/ think about old shit that has a lot of wear and tear to it? I found an old watch which looks alright to me, but its got no band, its an automatic, and isn't running, but if i shake it for a minute the second hand will tick for a good 15 seconds. Do I just need to take it to a jeweler to wind it back up? pic related. I assume I could find a NATO leather band to wear it again, I'm not a fan of bracelets or metal bands.

>>12168218
corrosion and wear on the obverse

>>12168218
>>12168224
If I wind the crown a few turns, the second hand will also tick. Do I just keep winding this like a motherfucker?

>>12168218
I love the face, but I don't think watches are one of those items that look good with wear and tear, I'd get a full touch up.

>>12166991
>b-uhr with the hour hand longer than the hour marker ring

JUST

>>12168253
Nah, you can't "touch up" pitting and corrosion like that without machining a little more material away, then refinishing or anodizing.

>>12168218
Take it to a watch shop and ask for a service. It will be expensive and they may discover that it needs a repair of some kind, which will cost even more. Don't wear a wristwatch that doesn't work though.

That said, Rolexes look great no matter how beat up they are. You might want to polish it up somehow just to get it to look at least marginally well taken care of.

>>12168218
I prefer my vintage timex mechanical

I wear pic related as my everyday watch.

Super understated but has the convenience/quality factor of other Rolexes.

>inb4 muh rolex hate meme

>>12168491
Beautiful, how much did your get it for?

Need some advice Anons.

My dad wants to get me a watch for my graduation. He suggested a Rolex submariner.

Now hear me out. Im going to be a young professional, wearing suits and normcore on the daily.

Is this a good timeless (kek) piece?

i got one of these.

>>12168506
$4600 brand new through greymarket dealer

>>12168538
Yes it's a great piece, but I would get one of the subtle ones i.e. Not the blue/gold.

>>12168571
>Buying a fake watch
The post.

>>12168810
>has never bought a moderately expensive watch in his entire life
>knows absolutely nothing about the watch market

please tell me more about the watch I bought from a dealer with thousands of positive reviews on watchuseek and rolexforums and sells pateks and APs on the reg.

also be sure to go let the rolex boutique where I had the bracelet length changed know it was a fake.

>>12168864

wtf I hate this watch now

>>12168228
You can wind it yes, typically it's like 10-20 turns. I would however get it serviced.

What do you guys think of this watch? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00M6MTMJU/ref=cts_wa_2_vtp?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2601945562&pf_rd_r=QEEPQH7FTRE1JB94J4NA&pd_rd_wg=tQMYp&pf_rd_s=mobile-detail-softlines&pf_rd_t=40701&pi=SL110&pd_rd_i=B00M6MTMJU&pd_rd_w=i0cZh&pf_rd_i=mobile-detail-softlines&pd_rd_r=QEEPQH7FTRE1JB94J4NA&dpPl=1&dpID=51qagNoNl4L#immersive-view_1485057176001

>reddit filename
You have to go back.

>>12169098
I just did about 20 winds, and its not ticking, but if i kinda simulate arm movement, it'll start ticking away. Its got a really nice sound of 3 ticks per second. I think I'll jut have to find a quote to see how much it'll be to get it serviced. A good one on ebay (not running) is $50 with band, so if its much money it'll end up in my drawer forever.

>>12169119

You should go with him.

>be wristlet
>literally everything looks G-Shock on me, or sparkles because it's made for wimmin

Seriously where does one find plain looking ~40mm> watches that also don't cost enough that I'll be mugged for it

>>12169199
Amazon, timex, casio, there are hundreds of <$50 watches on there.

>>12169199
The SNK809 and other budget oriented Seiko 5s are the watch of choice for wristlets.
https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK809-Automatic-Stainless-Canvas/dp/B002SSUQFG/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1485064845&sr=1-1&nodeID=6358540011&keywords=seiko+5

>>12168480
beauty, I dig the black face and the green canvas strap. What's the specific model?

>>12169199
Ebay my man. Vintage watches. Do some research, but in general if you're looking for a nice sized watch for a small wrist (I am in this boat as well) vintage watches are way cheaper than new. Get a decent 200 dollar one and maybe have it serviced and it'll be good for life.

Are Casio's Tough Solar watches EMP-proof?

>>12169429
Get something mechanical if you care about that kind of shit.

>>12169442
You didn't answer my question.

>>12169454
If we're talking about something like a NEMP or devastating solar flare, it'll be fried without a doubt. Something of that magnitude could easily fry a computer, so the simple electronics in a digital Casio would stand little to no chance.

I wear rocks; fuck that rinky-dink shit.

Just spent part of my bonus on a new watch. Was considering the Tag Aquaracer ceramic bezel and the Tudor Pelagos, went for the Tag due to having another 20% off.

>>12169357
It's a vintage Timex Camper watch, the ever last timex model with a mechanical movement. It was developed first for the military as disposable plastic watch.
It also became famous for being MacGyver's watch in the first 3 seasons.
They used to go for $40 in the 80s but now they go for like $100 on eBay if you happen to find one.
I got lucky as fuck and snatched mine in a clean condition for just 14€ shipped on an auction, the NATO is the original one.
Last year Timex did a limited edition reissues with quartz movement and indigo but same appearance, but it has completely lost its charm imo.

I hate watches with big faces because I have small wrist but that seems to be what's in style now
The only thing I can find with smaller faces is the cheap ones from big retail stores

>>12169938
>buying retail

If you want nice small faced stuff you will need to get vintage. There's plenty of cool stuff on eBay.

>>12169256
>wristlets
Wristlet here. I'm currently using a Casio F-91W that feels pretty comfortable. I'm considering buying a Seiko 5 and add a leather strap, just like your pic related. Should I go for it?

>>12170092
I have the SNK809 and it gets the job done. Doesn't look too bad either. And yeah, you WILL want to get rid of the original band.

>>12168491
Gorgeous, as u said understated..
I am saving for buying one next year for my 30
Every watch nerd is wearing a sub in Paris.. too much sub

I just want a relatively slim basic watch with a relatively slim black leatherband without laying too much money. Pls help wi give fellatio in return

MVMT is shit

dont listen to the "only old guys wear watches" crowd. theyre the same people who wear graphic tees and jeans every single day. you have been warned, anon.

is this watch effay?

>>12169076
Sandnigger cunt.

>>12171141
I don't like these 2-layer faces, it just detracts from it by offering more concentric circles. Also that date window is hopelessly small. That band is nice though.

They're for the type of person who like the Max Bill, but can't justify the price.

>>12169256
my personal pick, mice and understated

>>12166991
Wristwatches are usually a conservative piece but there are many effay ones out there. You just gotta know where to look

I have pic related

>>12169422
This man speaks the truth. You can find an old school Omega, for example, for a solid $250 there.

>>12171702
Also, vintage swatches on ebay go for around 20 bucks. I got this one for 25 I believe

>How many levels of irony are you on right now?

>>12169256
is that one of the ones that originally came with a canvas strap that shared the color of the face? did you have to cut that off?

>>12171752
Where did you find this it's fantastic.

>>12172139
Yeah that's the type. That's no my watch (although I do own an 803 that I've yet to swap out the original band), all you need to do is use a small flathead or a dedicated tool to push back the spring bar that's holding the strap in place.

anyone got the "6 positions of resting a mechanical watch when not being worn" infographic?

This.

If you're not abiding by The Chart, then don't wear watches.

It's pretty simple.

give it to me straight now /fa/malam - how much of a faggot am I for thinking tank americaine is the GOAT timepiece?

I'm not even a wristwatch person at all, but this one gets me weak and some day I'll hopefully afford to cop one

>>12172538
as you can see here re cartier >>12172518

>only if you REALLY want to

so acceptable enough.

>>12172538
the silhouette on the wrist is interesting, looks like a circular band, almost bracelet like. The only reason to wear it would be when dressing up, cannot be used in a casual setting.

>>12172608
not remotely true.

one can dress most tanks down somewhat

certainly not jeans and a t

but a dress shirt and khakis, no problem.

>>12172613
tanks cant be worn in any capacity without a button down shirt and belt. That's a very limited subset of "casual"

>>12172518
How do you define Vintage for those brands? Is there a year cutoff or something? Is it fashion opined, or craftsmanship related?

im cheap dgaf

>>12172518
>>12172642

dont follow a pyramid something autist made on 4chan

>>12172642
vintage = '50's, '60's and '70's.

>>12172652
you're blocked. don't bother replying, I won't ever be able to see your posts again.

>>12172518
Watch ppl of /fa/, is this a somewhat accurate chart?
Why are Tissot no good? Thought they had a p good reputation.

>>12172652
>>12172664
Its a retarded guide that has no logic or reasoning. It gets spammed in watch threads along with that arabic writing guy. Its baseless and has no logical sorting.

>>12172538
Fuck, those are killer. I would totally wear one of those.

>>12172608
>>12172632
I think dressing it down is more about the setting than the actual clothes it's being paired with.
Yachting in the mediterranean, a slopeside lunch in Val d'Isère or fast asleep in business class.

>>12172538
I'm more of a Reverso person myself.

>>12172099
Holy fuck is that a 40mm it looks huge on u

i'm in love with the Speedmaster's

tfw 40mm looks small

Thinking about getting this one. Thoughts?

>>12172858
Get >>12172849 instead. Not the moonphase though, that might be a little out of your budget. ;)

I'm in the market for a daily wear black/silver watch in the ~$500 range.
Preferably something that goes well with a dark suit too.

The problem is that I have pretty small wrists (16 cm), so the trend with blimpy half cup sized watches kinda limits my choices.

Something similar to pic, but less pricy. Date complication not necessary.
Any recommendations?

>>12172874
If I were you I would save up for the Seiko or something you really really like.

This one is 40mm -- still a little big for a dress watch.

>>12173214
fuck that's pretty.

>>12169256
I found the leather strap. Seems to be a "Hirsch Liberty".

Should I buy this?
Kinda like it, and it would be my first watch...

>>12172858
I think it's gaudy and the face just looks crowded. Not a fan, especially if its going to be an every day wear. Go for something with a more timeless look.

>>12172863
Obviously that suggestion is in the same price range, right?

Possible for a grill to pull off a chunky G-Shock?

>>12173525

>>12173643

>>12173661

>>12168556
goddamn i hate integrated bracelets with a passion.

>>12173668
gshocks on people with small wrists makes them look like uneducated gypsies

>>12173627
The more I look at it the more I agree with you.>>12173214 looks nice and is along the same lines but it's out of my price range

>>12173652
Thanks for the suggestion. I like the ef503d but unfortunately it's not available in the store, any other watch in the price range?

do power reserve matters when buying a watch?

i own a Tissot couturier with 45 hours power reserve, just got a Tag and it only has 42 hours. The Tag is about 5x the price of the Tissot.

>>12168538
Get the GMT Master Batman, or any of stainless steel submariners. Unless you.re 45 and above, the half golds are gaudy as hell.

>>12173672

I love my amphibia, and I get all the compliments.

>>12173947
I never understood whats the appeal of those they are just some stupid russian watch
is it because americans buy it and be like damn im ruski or smth

>>12172518

As a pilot and someone that loves tool/aviation inspired watches, I happen to really like the stuff Bremont makes.

>>12174135
>As a pilot
Could you tell us more about this, please?

Any good homage pilot/military watches with chinese ETA copy movements?
I am looking at a panerai copy from getat but if someone else has an other recommendations I would love to hear them

>>12174073
It's probably because Amphibians were stupid cheap for the longest time, come in a variety of styles, and either have a simple uncluttered look, or have a nautical theme that some may find interesting. I guess you could almost call them the Russian equivalent of the Seiko 5.
They don't really strike me as something interesting, unlike say the Raketa Copernic or Big Zero, but I can see why people like them.

>>12172518
christopher ward should be one higher, its good value for money, i found their tridents to look better than omega seamasters and rolex submariners

>>12172518
Richard Milles are the goat casual watch tho

>>12172518
>if you don't abide by this arbitrary chart composed by some hermetically sealed basement troll on 4chan then you're doing it wrong

Please recognize how stupid you sound. Seiko is shit.

>>12174073
I agree, I don't get it. They're ugly as fuck. Look like something you'd get in a russian cracker jack box.

rekt

What are good analogs for G-Shock MTG?

>>12173855
The price is obviously not a linear function of power reserve, the are mid-priced Tissots with 80 hours for example. Which does not cancel the fact that Tags can be massively overpriced, just take a look at their ~$1000 quartz.

Did i do ok for a first decent watch /fa/?

>>12176518
Yes.

>>12176309
awww shucks. apparently Tag is a shitty brand after reading through several forum. was deciding between this and the Tudor Pelagos, however the pelagos just doesnt appeal to me. got these for a little over 2000$

>>12176717
>Tag is a shitty brand

>>12176746
(((Bauhaus))) is for people raised in conditions bordering transgenderism and Nomos is horribly overpriced.

Just bought this :)

Blancpain villeret with moonphase and complete calendar complications

this is the kind of watch that i like and am currently wearing, quality isn't great desu and i feel like i shouldn't have chosen the black backplate, but i want to expand on my watches anyway and this fits into alot of fits nicely.

pretty cheap too

>>12168168
I would literally rather cut my dick off with a rusty file than ever be caught dead wearing MVMT, Daniel Wellington or any other meme-tier watch brand holy shit get that trash out of here

This is what I'm wearing atm, got it as a 21st birthday present from my grandparents.

>>12179062
Well alright, fair enough if their build quality and QC is crap for $1500+ then I can see your point. I was under the impression they were ~$200 watches. Does TH customer service fix that kind of stuff? Sometimes a really good customer service can makeup for shit QC.

>>12179211
>Does TH customer service fix that kind of stuff?
Yes, but they'll charge you more than 200 for it.
Tag Huehue is not worthy at all.

Oh well fuck that then. See, instead of saying "they're shitty" just explain they have a reputation of poor build quality and poor QC. Add that to that idiotic pyramid infograph.

>>12167905
>spelling "bands" with an s
You are so fucking lame

>>12179441
Using phone to know time is ergonomically the same as using a pocket watch. There were times when all watches were pocket ones. Shortly after wristwatches were invented, they easily occupied almost the whole watch market. Because they were more convenient.

>>12176948
>Sailing and heavy gauge knitwear interests me

What are your thoughts on the watch that inspired the watch used in Arma 3? It's a Fortis Marinemaster Classic.

>>12179822
Here's a screencap of the replica used in the game.

>>12179822
>>12179824
My fault. The model is called "Diver Titanium".

I think I've finally decided that pic related is the watch I want. I really liked the one from Interstellar, but I think it's just too big for my wrists, and I'm just a little too autismo for some of the details.
Anyway, pic related is WR to 50 meters, but I read you shouldn't swim with it. I really wanted something I could swim in the ocean with, that's a shame. I'm not a fan of divers.

Hey guys, my wifey got me a $250AU pulsar watch for my birthday. I think its amazing, ill take a pic and post it soon. What am I in for? Opinions on pulsar as a brand?

>>12182207
Pretty sure they're owned by Seiko and share some of their lower end movements. In saying that, you're gonna get a nice and very reliable watch. It's not gonna have that cache of a Seiko or other highly regarded Japanese brands but so long as it sits nicely on your wrist and compliments your fits, you're good.

>>12181059
Ewwwww

>>12183184
I dunno. How do you explain poor quality of the face? Perhaps the original face was damaged, and this one was crafted in some local workshop.

Cop what you like; wear what you want

>>12168168
if you spent more than $5 on that you got ripped off. Anyone over the age of 25 who isn't developmentally disabled will be able to see that that is a shitty piece of chinese garbage and judge you accordingly.

That watch looks fucking dumb irl. It is xbawks hueg and looks like one of those cheap designer watches that you would find at some outlet store for $25. In photos, it looks really nice and minimalist, but in real life it sticks out like a sore thumb.

>>12176785

Well done m8!! Congrats.
THe Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Complet is a great watch and with an awesome moonphase. I oftens amazes me how affordable these are in relation to how much they offer.
Great value proposition.
Enjoy it.

>>12184683
Thank you!

Check my post on /r/watches it's got a better quality photo :)

>>12184742
I normally never go to reddit, but ok...

Nice pic m8! Is it your only watch or do you have a collection?

Looks bretty good for a 250$ watch
should I cop?

>>12185170
You're essentially buying a modded version of this. You also won't get that watch for another five to six months, while you can buy the Invicta right now.
https://www.amazon.com/Invicta-8926OB-Analog-Japanese-Automatic-Stainless/dp/B000JQFX1G/ref=pd_sim_241_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000JQFX1G&pd_rd_r=ATHPGTWTT1RP7KWP7K53&pd_rd_w=y79MD&pd_rd_wg=Qi1ol&psc=1&refRID=ATHPGTWTT1RP7KWP7K53

I do like the date window at the 6 position, but I wouldn't get one personally.

>>12185190
its an Invicta and a submariner copy so no thanks and it doesnt have a sapphire
also my brother has an invicta he dropped it from a table and its glass cracked and the numbers inside fell off

>>12185195
What you're missing is that watch you linked has the same exact guts as an $85 Invicta.

>>12184399
Your collection doesn't do much for me but I will say congrats on not having two or three watches that look exactly the same.

>>12183206

All your faceless generic hipster watches >>12168168 are cringy. fedora tier. artificial. characterless. overpriced.

Look for patina, character, bezel thin, diameter smaller.

nice try comrade

Just got my cheap af Sturmanskie reissue in the mail today. I'm seeing if I like having a watch on my arm, so I only paid $45 with shipping from UK.

I got it because I needed a second-hand watch for nursing school, but I'm also a stylish individual and wanted something I could feel good about wearing.

If it turns out being something I enjoy wearing, I'll take the plunge on a $300+ Poljot when the time and money are right.

>>12185752
it is, but not in the wrong way I guess; that's actually a good old cheap generic proven model, not a cheap movement in an overpriced "designer case".

>>12180223
Same. Ive been looking for something cheap along the looks of a field watch but 10 bar water resist, under 40mm ,and the choice is slim. I've got a Bertucci A1-S and it fits the bill. a1t is sexier though.

>>12187425
I love it, a $21 casio watch that has decent looks and isn't pretentious. Just wish it has indiglo

HHHHHNNNNNGGGGGGGG

I tend to get watches in the $350-700 range, it's a good price point with a lot of quality options. Also, are citizen chronos like pic related effay?

>>12187741
certainly not on that bracelet

>>12187551
>>12187709

Is it autistic if I literally get hard by watching these pics?

i like ice watches

>>12188116
Delet this

I have one of these. /fa/ or nah?

Automatics are actually a bit of a nuisance compared to hand-winders. I wake up and the automatic is dead, but my ancient, cheap hand-wind with the plastic face is still ticking away.

>>12188137
most automatics can also be hand winded

>>12188137
Very casual and understated looking, if that's what you're looking for it can be /fa/.

Def what I'd buy if I had a very low budget.

>>12188134
i also like swatch

it's a shame the price tag is so high for a triple ironic watch

>>12172849
a plain speedy pro is my dream watch, luckily the bulova replica of their one off has the dial face and is quite a bit more affordable as the speedy is far outta my price range

are longines watches a meme? saw one like those rolexes for 1k
It caught my eye and my mom considered getting it for my birthday but it hurts me to spend so much on a watch, are they good though?

I've always wanted a rolex but eh I dont want to dish out my money on that let alone my mom even if its just 1k

considering buying this one

https://ambassadorwatches.com/collection/heritage-1959

but I can't find any reviews of the company, has anyone bought anything from them and can confirm they're legit?

>>12190498
It's another cheaply made fashion watch with a knockoff Miyota movement.

>>12190504
>fashion watch

uh yeah I wont actually use it to look up the time, I use my phone for that.

>>12190508
Buy some watch for like $15 off of eBay from China then; it'll do the exact same thing.

I want a milsub homage. Thoughts on pic related?

>>12190498
>https://ambassadorwatches.com/collection/heritage-1959
If it was an automatic with the Miyota 9015 I would pick it up but the jumping second hand of quartz watches turns me off.
You should be safe ordering that but like the other anon said, you can basically get the same quality in a super cheap watch made in China.

It's a symbol of status and professionalism. If you see a guy with a Rolex or a Philip Patek you know he probably has a good job. It's also more appropriate in a professional setting rather than checking your phone, or if you're in school.

Just avoid autist brands and styles. Avoid cheap skeleton watches, or anything that's meant to make your watch look vintage and you won't look like an autist. Also no g-shocks unless all black.

>>12190718
However, in our lifestyle of consumerism and status, some people will eat ramen noodles to afford a Patek. It means less and less.

Is this vintage yet?

>>12190718
>Philip Patek

>>12172518
This is retarded. In Victorville uses Seekonk movements so they'really pretty reliable. Nixon is alright but normies wear them casually. U-Boats are quality divers. Sea-Gulls make good movements.

>>12190742
Fuck auto correct.
*Invicta uses Seiko movements

>>12190739
my bad. Patek Phillipe

Thoughts on a getat destro marina militare homage?
Thinking of getting a pvd with a black movement and sapphire cost is about 160$
pic is somewhat related because only lettering will be different

>>12190962
looks cool i guess

>>12190962

How does one make an skx more /fa/?
Different hands set and dial?

>>12190498
>Buying a 250 dollars quartz from a no name company
why ?

>>12191493
that strap is fuckhuge

>>12191493
that's a nice watch, a tad big to be fa... the skx013 looks a lot better, but the good news is the 007 is more popular and easier to get parts to customize it for cheap.
-Get a braided nylon band: less bulky than nato but just as practical and easy to install and clean. A smooth silicon or a Milanese band could also be considered. Maybe something with an oyster or a deployment clasp if you're feeling it a bit dandy.
-Get a new bezel. It's almost as easy to install a custom bezel as it is a new watch strap. This is going to make a world of difference, the factory one is cheap and clunky. Get a smooth bezel preferably, or at the very least change the insert on yours.
- You can change your dial and hands after that, just make sure your calendar dial looks nice with the one you chose. I think a white field watch dial could be nice on yours.
you've got one of seiko's nicest case and a proven movement; it's not a showstopper, but that's a great watch. make it your own

Linking wristwatches to autism... this place is a fucking joke.

>>12176746
no because it implies that it will also go out of fashion. what you have there is going to be a timeless classic.

>>12190525
I really like Steinhart

superb quality. for the money, the best swiss made watch. period.

C/N?

>>12193580
These quirky watches similar to tokyo flash watches are a little gimmicky, and if you like them then great. But overall they're just past nerdy and rarely good looking. A few are even downright hard to tell what time it is.

>>12193597
>His thinking isn't on the nxtlvl

>>12192322

Pick one faggot. Steinshits are like half madre in China and shitty as fuck.

>>12168491
if I saw you irl I'd literally commend you on such a fuckin piece, that's a beaut

Who do you guys watch on YouTube? Mark at longislandwatch is a boss

>>12193788
What is it about Steinhart you find "shitty as fuck"? Also - we're adults, would you mind trying to class it up a bit?

Do you dislike the ETA movements? The sapphire? The cases?

Please expound, my angsty teeny friend, on why "Steinshit is shitty as fuck".

And yes. They're Swiss Made.

>>12193716
good lord my eyes

>>12193837
Marc's cool. Also his customer service is 2nd to none. Would recommend, 10/10.

He's an AD, so his prices will be higher than gray market-- but you'll also get factory warranty.

>>12184399
what watch is second from the right?

Why do watch-autists hate so much on cheap watches?
For me a watch is just another accessory that happens to also tell time. I get bored of thing easily and like to have variety, so I buy multiple cheap watches.
They're just supposed to look good at glance with the outfit.

I don't want any neckbeard commenting on my "piece". Why do so many people in here think that the people outside of your sperg club give a shit?

>>12172874
Seiko have beautiful so called "GS for the poor" SARB series. About $300, sapphire, 38 mm.

>>12194202
It's not cheap watches, it's shitty watches.

>>12194279
This. We recommend Timex watches all the time for people who aren't looking to spend a lot.
But, look at any product, and there will be people who don't give a shit about what they buy as long as it works. Why do people own Lamborghini's if a Kia Soul gets you to the supermarket just the same?

Which one would you pick? I'm kinda leaning towards the tissot.

>>12194202
I'm kind of with you, but I just hate to wear quarz watches. Idk why, they just feel wrong, so I'm stuck with just a few somewhat more expensive automatics.

>>12191493

Get it off that strap

Fuck around with different bezel inserts

>>12193837

Federico but not his episodes with TGV. TGV is a sperg

>>12194359
Based on these two, the Tissot on the left. But, Hamilton makes better looking watches than either of those.

>>12195029
>Hamilton makes better looking watches than either of those.

This t b h. That's the gnarliest Hamilton I've ever seen

>>12193838
>They're Swiss Made
Not the same anon, but they are LABELED swiss made but, as with many other cheap brands, they are taking advantage of a loop hole in legislation to claim an origin the don't have.
Seriosuly, they're like 45% made in China.

>>12168491
good choice there. i'd also go for an oyster perpetual if i had the money.

>>12172690
if hamilton is tier 2, so is tissot. tissot watches are perfectly good.
