/fa/ - Fashion

Posted this last thread. Someone said "he actually bought one." Don't know why. Please inform me of my mistake.

Anyone here ever used trustytime? Poorfag here and I've always wanted an Omega. If I could get a decent replica for less than $200 I might be down.

>>12503953
>Poorfag

It's a meme watch

fuck.

>>12503953
it's because DW watches have cheap movements and you've paid a lot whereas on Aliexpress you get cheap fakes for very little money

>>12504023
why are these so appealing to me?
I own one of the metal ones but I could see myself making a collection. they're so cheap too

>>12504028

>>12504030
>>12504028
I own the A158 specifically, cool watch

>>12504028
Aren't the fakes heavily frowned upon though?

>>12504030
I'm gonna guess you just like the rectangular shape and the practical utilitarian aspect of a multifuctional watch.

>>12504035
not really since DW watches have no particular value as a watch brand. you could only say that if you'd be looking to buy a Rolex fake or any other luxury watch brand fake. DW is a massmarket watch brand so nobody would care.

>>12504037
I think it's the nostalgic feel they have going on

>>12504045

>>12504046
good point.

as opposed to smartwatches they seem more approachable I guess.

>>12504055
enough pics for now.

>>12503953
Because you paid $230 for a $5 watch.

Thanks Kojangles.

>>12504213
Get a broken one. All in all, mine cost me slightly north of 250 with a spare case in great condition. The ones you want are the ones where nothing appears on the screen or where the screen gets faded. Usually, the only problem with these is a bit of junk on the inside and four dead capacitors.

>>12504339
I should add, without the spare case, it was 150 for a mostly working one and a case in near perfect condition.

I am looking for a watch. I was interested in Timex Weekender but they seem really big. Do you know any smaller similar watches?

heads up - the fake ones have extremely fragile glass so take care when you wear them.

Thoughts on this? Its like $15 and I dont want a fancy watch.

>>12504968
I kinda like this.

too bad I'm left-handed so no normal analogs for me.

>>12504430
go to amazon and check if you can find 33-36mm case diameter watches.

there is a cheap ass Casio in that size but it's mostly plastic and kinda worse than the weekender in terms of features. Swatch normal gents models exist too at 33mm but they tick loudly, just like Timex.

>>12505101
>>12504430
my casio mq 24 is pretty small and has lasted me a long time so far despite being plastic, i'd recommend it

>>12505107
that's good to hear it lasts long. I never owned that watch because it was just too simple for me. but yeah, I think it's still might be comfy to wear at least.

Is the Omega Seamaster /g/ approved? Got a new job and a huge sign on bonus so going to reward myself with my first true luxury watch. Not looking at the bond version, that's just the image Google spit out. Thinking of going with this over Rolex. Thoughts /g/?

Looking to buy this when I can find a deal.

Is the Omega Seamaster /fa/? Got a new job and a huge sign on bonus so going to reward myself with my first true luxury watch. Thinking of going with this over Rolex. Thoughts /fa/?

>>12505201
Seamasters are great, less 'ostentatious' than Rolex. I'm saying that bc even though Rolex make really good watches, they are often perceived as being a bit wankery. Also check out the others in the SM line, aqua terra and PO are both great watches

>>12505232
Thanks for the input!

Reposting since last thread got archived with no answer with my message being the last one.

I've been looking for a dress watch and I am almost desperate. You are my last resort /fa/

* Considered options:

- pic related
- Bering 11938-000
- casio MTP-1183PA-7A (but it's probably too small for me)
- casio MTP-V005D-7A (does not really dress that well)

Also something in the lines of Daniel Wellington would be interesting, but I don't think their price is fair. Unbranded replicas are out of the question because I don't want to be perceived as that kind of guy and several colleagues wear real DWs.

* Desired characteristics:

My wrist size is 6.3 inches. So I think the perfect size would be 39 or 40 mm.

I just want something as simple as possible that does not have extra stuff.

- Only three hands and I don't mind if the numbers are also missing.
- A watch with a metal or a leather strap.
- All colours are welcome except for gold or rose gold.
- Something that will last at least 5 years (I take good care of my things anyway)

My budget is < 90 € but I would really really want to stay below 60 €

It seems the simpler the watch the more expensive they are! I've seen some really hideous things in my price range that would be decent if they didn't have so much additions. I thought it was reasonable that the less stuff a watch has the cheaper it would b

>>12505369
This is a casio I really like and is 40mm. You can get it for ~45€ which is in your budget.
Model is MTP-1303L-1AVEF.

Fellow /fa/s might have other suggestions.

>>12505381
honestly, casio is a well regarded brand and if you like it and it suits your budget, go for it
plus it should last you a while
the question is, do you care about the movement? bc quartz will almost always be cheaper

>>12505392
Quartz + batteries is the best that suits my budget and I don't see any benefit from more complex movements.

Opinions? Looks like a pretty good price. On other websites I could only find versions that were 170+

Thinking about getting a seiko diver watch, maybe put it on a canvas strap. Something like this.

Thoughts? It came with the shittiest watch band imaginable (literally had to bend a solid piece of metal into a round shape) so I just used one I had laying around. I love the watch but I'm not to sure about the new watch band.

Thoughts? I got it as a gift a long time ago and get a lot of complements about it. Only complaint I have is that the band is made of silicone so it gets dusty and sticks to my wrist in hot weather.

>>12505369
if you want a dress watch you'd be better off with a 36-38mm on your wrist. for dress watches you want smaller and slimmer.

>>12505199
where are you trying to find a good deal? how much do you wanna pay?

>>12505518
i'd change the band

>>12505617
Any suggestions?

>>12505637
black nato

>>12505637
get a cheap fake casio from ioffer or aliexpress and use that band.

>>12505610
I'm just looking on eBay and Amazon. Different sellers pop up every day on Amazon. I'm hoping to get it under the $400 mark after shipping.

>>12505600
that watch is more of a billboard for fossil than a watch by itself. awful.

>>12505677
That's kinda fair I guess. Do you know of any other watches with the same style?

>>12503824

>>12505676

Just ordered one of these to replace my casio.

>>12504603
I like it

>>12505441
Decent looks, cheap Chinese quartz movement. I wore mine through highschool and it worked well until the genuine leather strap disintegrated.

Any room for some Swatch love here?

Bought a Hamilton from Jomashop that doesn't work. Requested a form to return it. Nine days and two attempted contacts later, still nothing. And apparently they wont be answering calls today because of religious reasons. I'm getting pretty damn frustrated with them.

>>12505710
not really. I'm inclined to say Casio a158 because it's rectangular too but I guess you want analog. pic related is a square analog Casio (mtp-1234pl-1aef)

you should check amazon for rectangular watches and see what you can find. the search feature has that option.

Good points. Luckily I managed to get that blue one for only $55 new. And yeah, the Gent watches tick like crazy

>>12505968

nice pro-keds ;)

So I've got to ask. Why all the citizen hate? I've noticed after following a few of these threads that there's not a lot of love for the brand around here. Is it the look? The movement?

>>12506248
Diamonds are too much.

If you have that money to spend, get yourself a submariner. It's absolutely iconic, and while divers aren't traditionally dress watches, the submariner has weaseled its way into the category over time.

Alternatively, you can probably find a vintage day date in gold for around that price if you know where to look. Really beautiful watches, instantly recognizable, but not too much.

http://www.watchrecon.com is a really useful website for looking at the resale market. You'll almost assuredly be able to find a better price there unless you know a jeweler/connection, just for the reason of having the ability to shop around.

>>12505503

SKX is an absolute icon. Can't go wrong with it.

>>12506252
>>12506411

Appreciate the feedback lads. The only reason I'm even considering them anymore is because Rolex literally wont let you have a steel 41mm without diamonds anymore unless you go the blue dial. Pic related are the only dial choices atm.

>>12506412
Anyway I've been considering the sub too but am sort of put off by how widespread it is. What's your opinion on the platinum yachtmaster I?

All jokes aside I have a 36mm blue dial DJ and I love it.

Next cop for me is a Grand Seiko Blizzard. I feel like the YM's are underwhelming irl for the money I'd get a sub or a Tudor only the Tudors have even more fucking text

I'm not >>12506412

>>12506390
nice except that Rolex is a grandpa watch

>>12506924
I own a Submariner, only thing I would say is it is not the most comfortable watch, at least on my wrist. However it is a very nice watch overall.

>>12506924
Personally, I don't like the rhodium or the platinum dial options. I think they shy away from the dressier style you're looking for. The blue is pretty sharp though.

I think the Yacht Masters are definitely nice in their own right, but if I'm spending the money, I think I'd slide for something either iconic like the sub, or all together different. I mean, you could get a JLC Grande Reverso Calender for that money. That's what I'm putting away for now, so maybe I'm a little biased, but I think the YM is an underwhelming facet of the Rolex brand. The fact that you can get such a complex, in-house, Swiss made movement for that money doesn't make a good case for the YM in my book. The YM II is a different story though.

>>12503953
Because Daniel Wellington is a steaming pile of shit. You might as well draw a watch on your wrist with grease and it would be better than DW.

>>12504915
no, it's a dw-5600e-1ver.
but it does look similar to the one you were mentioning.

>>12507437
comparison pic

>>12506049

I like the shape of the watches but I was hoping more along the lines of the actual way the time is displayed. The numbers move on rotating disks rather than a set of hands rotating to point to numbers.

Anyone in the know who can tell me about the quality of Isseys watches?

>>12503824

>>12507427
Watchtard here.
Is it ok if I bought one that was reduced to 30 from 200?
It's original.

>>12506390
I only really like the Rolex out of these three

>>12507437
which one has better features. I like them both.

>>12507640
clearly the GW-M5610, the one with the slight red frame around the display because it's solar powered and it has a batterysaving function, battery display as well. world time function on top of that etc.

it's slightly more expensive though. but the other one isn't bad, it just doesn't have world time, battery indicators or solar.

>>12507500
yeah, I don't know much about these kinda watches, sorry.

thoughts?

What are some more flag-core watches? Or alphabet-core, this shit's hard

>>12507706

>>12507706

>>12507701
the solar is the only reason I'm going with the 5610. the 5600 is more aesthetic tho.

>>12507706

Can you even NATO a Casio?

anyone know anything about these? I don't know shit about tritium watches but I want one because they're pretty /k/ and I wanna be a wannabe oper8r

Too vintage / patina'd to rock a NATO.

>>12507706

Which one?

>>12508230
Left.

>>12507878
nato is shit and dangles on the wrist once it expands due to the body heat. piut a silicone strap on it instead.

>>12508230
in that case: left.
the fairfield chronograph is excellent.

also why compare a watch with it that has less features?

>>12505201
I would go with the Omega over a Tudor any day.

>>12503824

>>12508881
loosen the strap you fucking madman

is this single-handedly the most /fa/ watch on the market?

>>12508889
I need it to be tight at the beggining so it shapes better to my wrist. It takes around two weeks to feel comfy

yes

Should I buy this for $96

>>12509000
>>12508900

>>12509065
No. It's a watch for ants

any idea where to buy this?

>>12507706

Nice. I have a Seamaster from 1952. Steel case, gold hands and markers. It came on a black leather band but I put a silver/gold jubilee bracelet. Beautiful.

>>12505097
Why not?

Any room in the casio thread for a timex?

>>12505912
Just bought for myself a few days ago

>>12510124
No

>>12510124
I'm sure it's a great watch. the T80 got a lot of color options as well.

but I'm more of a Casio meme man myself.

>>12510117
I wear watches on the right wrist because it feels more comfortable to me but with analog watches the crown cuts into my wrist. however, some Seiko 5s are comfy to me because of the 4 o*clock crown position.

Nato, yes or no?

>>12510418
imo no, because >>12508571.
I didn't like nato personally. on top of that, is there anything more annoying than the strap being that length so you awkwardly fold the rest over and "secure" it hoping it will stay?

cop?

Are there any non fag gold colored watches? Most of my clothes have golden accents and I feel kinda weird using a silver one.

Or am I just bitching over nothing?

>>12511238
Look for a watch that isn't gold everything. Something with a white face and a leather band for example.

>>12511345
Solid buy, but get ready to notice how many Submariners you see on a daily basis.

>>12511511
It's an SNK 809 with a face from an SKX009 diver and a metal bracelet from another SNK that escapes me. I kind of want to do my 803 up like this, but I can't bring myself to taking the thing apart; even if it did only cost me $55.

>>12511345
lmao the loom isnt even cut correctly on the minute hand. shit fake mate

>>12511593

Not salty in the slightest.
I'm serious though. Why would anyone get jealous of a Rolex Submariner? Any normal, working adult can own one if they want to. There are at least five dudes walking around with them at my office. If they or their children ever decide to sell the watch at any point in the foreseeable future, they'll almost certainly get back what they payed - inflation adjusted. In the meantime they have a nice watch.

I don't think so, but you could probably find someone on one of those Seiko modding forums where you could commission them to do so.

It looks like a lady's deVille. I can't recall ever seeing a gent's model with lugs like that, but I admit I don't have much experience with the deVille model.

Neat looking watch, but one thing you'll find with women's watches is that their value is almost exclusively as jewelry rather than as a watch. More gold and diamonds equals a higher value, rather than rarity of movement or model like with men's watches. If it's a quartz movement and the band is plated (and I assume both to be true) it probably isn't worth a whole lot compared to a man's auto of a similar design.

Take it with a grain of salt, I'm not a watch maker or anything, just an amateur watchfag.

Friend of mine bought a box full of junk watches at a car boot, found these two among all the shit. How much pussy am I going to get, lads?

>>12507706

Absolute beaut. Even digging the strap on it. Bought or handed down?

>>12515670
No matter how much you get, you'll always know if you're at your target heart rate.

>buy Laco 1925 B-Uhr in quartz for 180$ on Amazon
>find out that Quartz is considered the McDonalds of movements
>suddenly disgusted with what is otherwise a nice watch

What do? Can I buy an automatic movement and throw it in there?

>>12512798
Cheap, its a watch, nothing at all special but i really love it
If youre looking to drop 80 shekels for a barebones watch you cant go wrong with this'n. Served me for 3 good years.i very recently had to retire mine after it fell out of my car a few weeks ago ill probably buy a replacement

>>12505199
I've always wanted an Alpinist. Beautiful watches, they are.
Are you going to wear yours as a daily driver, or something more formal?

>>12515904
Quartz is fine man. Of course you can't jerk off to the movement or complications, but at least take solace in the fact that you don't have to set the time when you get up or worry about messing up the movement.

>>12514530
Absolut ZERO

My second hand is some kind of fucked up, every tick it lands exactly between the second markers and not on them, I don't think the chapter ring is off because it isn't landing in the middle of the hour markers either. Also every other tick the second hand looks like it bounces a bit, so the ticks are solid-bouncy-solid-bouncy.

I know I shouldn't expect amazing quality from an entry-level Seiko but surely they can do better than this.

where can I get a good Rolex fake? willing to spend $500

What does everyone think of minimalist watches?

Just obtained my first casio. Got something cheap just to see if i would like. liking it a lot desu might get the all gold colorway metal watch.

>>12516827
cool. I think this is a newer f91 model with the gold or silver case except for the strap.

>>12516447

>>12517236
The Copernic is absolutely beautiful, got it for like $60 with shipping. It's a small, low-profile watch that's really deco

>>12516432
Don't get a fake Rolex. You can get watches with absolutely great movements for that money. If you get a fake Rolex, odds are, you'll be stuck with some cheap Chinese movement that'll break in no time. They also tend to be pretty easy to spot, even if someone doesn't know a lot about Rolex.

You want an iconic watch with a great movement that'll last you a long time? Get a Seiko SKX for $250. Very recognizable watch with a great history and a solid movement.

You can also find other Seiko models around that price range that will do you good. Other brands include Tissot, Tag Heuer, Victronix, Frederique Constant, Longines, etc.

For a little more money, you can get a vintage Tudor, which is practically a Rolex with a different name on it (Tudor is a subsidiary of Rolex poised at being a more affordable wrist watch), or even go German with a Junghans (they make some really beautiful, minimalist watches worth checking out).

I mean, if you look in the right places, you can even find a vintage Rolex for around $2,000. Do yourself a favor and avoid getting a fake. It'll be money wasted, and it won't be as nearly satisfying as the experience you get with a real.

I'm having a very negative experience with Jomashop, but buying from an authorized dealer is like twice the price. Where else can I buy watches where I know I won't get ripped off? Or, should I just pay the money to get my watch from an authorized dealer?

>>12506248
the bezel doesn't look right on the 41 mm models

>>12503824
So... guys, what's the deal with Antonio free watches?. It seems to good to be true but again, ive already lost an opportunity like this for thinking the same.

>>12517443
Yeah but I want the prestige of a rolex, but without paying for it obv. looking for a sub no date

>>12517815
Are you a chinese businessman?

>>12517815
You aren't getting the prestige of Rolex.

A real Rolex looks and feels like it deserves the prestige it has. A fake Rolex looks and feels like you're trying to act richer than you are.

If you've ever actually held a real submariner, it is almost always instantly distinguishable as real. Weight wise, material wise, and detail wise, you simply won't find a fake, especially for your price range, that actually gives you a comparable experience to a Rolex. Aesthetically and functionally.

Save your money, and eventually purchase a real submariner. You'll be proud of yourself. For now, get a Seiko SKX. Literally anyone who cares about watches will recognize it instantly, and respect your choice.

>>12517815
>prestige of a rolex
but you'd get literally the opposite, the pathetic shame of owning a fake.

>>12505503
I have one. They are durable, realistically priced and functional. I work an an ER and it gets banged up all the time. If I get blood or any other bodily fluids on it I can clean it easily.

>>12518400
But if nobody knows then nobody is none the wiser. I personally don't give a shit as long as it is 80% as good as a real one so don't tell me I'll care about it's authenticity.

>>12503824
This is driving me up a wall. I am trying to buy a watch with:
>A red second hand
>White and very clean face
>Arabic numerals
>Hopefully auto mechanical
Like if there is a wrist watch version of this I would be so happy

I know the timex easy reader and weekender look similar, but they are quartz and apparently very loud

>2017

>>12518543
No red second hand and quartz but Swatch 'Once Again' fits that clock very well

Chinks literally can't into symmetry

>>12504514
Have the left one in black.
Put it on a soft surface (cushion or a sweater etc) around 3m(around 9ft) away from your bed before sleeping.

>>12504968
What model is this?

>>12507706
love the watch but not with the nato strap

Thoughts on this one? I like keeping it simple

>>12519436
i like this. is it quartz?

>>12519466
Yes. A $240 quartz watch.

hmm what just came in the mail?

Does anyone here carry pocket watches?

what would you recommend, then? (similar style)

I love this sexy cunt.

>>12505074
Dw my pal. I prefer right too

>>12520153
ayyy

I have this exact watch.

Guise,would this shit look remotely interesting if i attached to it a dark brown leather band?

>>12505503

I'd recommend getting a Seiko SRP Turtle (SRP773, 775, 779 etc). New and improved movement.

>>12504514

I'd do left's leather wrist, right's clock

Depends on what you are looking for, check out watch forums like watchuseek to learn more about brands

If you want quarts, seiko, citizen, casio, are great choices. Although I am biased as a seiko/citizen/grand seiko fan. A great all around low maintenance watch is a Citizen eco-drive. Solar powered and accurate grab and go.

If you want to get into automatics, a Seiko diver like the SKX007 is an absolute classic/staple to any collection. Those are not solar powered so they need your daily wearing and movement to keep it powered and will need to be serviced regularly. There is a lot of charm in owning a mechanical watch but if you don't care and just want to know the time, go quartz. Best of luck

>>12515904
Enjoy it man, quartz is great. Never have to fiddle with it, don't have to worry about winding it. Time is reliable. There is always room for quartz, multi-thousand dollar high end watch brands also make quartz.

Wear it in good health, its a great looking watch!

>>12518998

You know the chinese also make literally everything else like high end electronics and stuff? Just most of the low end garbage has no QC and when you get paid a dollar to assemble 500 watches a day, you aren't going to give too many shits into symmetry

Considering this. What do you think?
It's a traditional Czech brand. (you see, I'm Czech, so it makes sense)

Get a Hamilton next

>>12516827
we have the same watch!

>>12518383

No you wouldn't

This guy's never held a fake rolex. They're almost identical in weight.

>The cyclops is usually fucked up and doesn't magnify 2.5x
>The bezel clicks differently
>The second hand ticks harder

The differences are so fucking subtle that only rolex owners are going to out you. And that's only if they're watch nerds who pay attention to detail. Your fucking manager at Walmart doesn't know the difference, he just bought one because he moved up in life.

>>12520954
No the design isn't symmetrical. I thought there was an error on the picture when I was buying it but turns out they are all like that

>>12522043
>This guy's never held a fake rolex. They're almost identical in weight.

Which fake?

For god's sake if you're going to attempt to sound like you know something at least try. There are fake Rolexes with a fucking quartz ticking movement sold everywhere.

It's actually pretty cumbersome to find the 1:1 level replica watches and a hassle to buy them. Get to the right forums, find the right sellers, go through the proper channels, do WU payments.. and even then there are variances between replica watch factories to account for if you want to be absolutely anal.

That said;
> The differences are so fucking subtle that only rolex owners are going to out you.

You can go to Rolex forums and look at replica watch threads. They started getting "scary accurate" only a few years ago, likely due to better factories and manufacturing processes coming to the Chinese black markets. It's now on a level of detail in the latest versions that experts can't tell them apart at all from the outside. Remember that this is like a game toward perfection. Every detail the experts point out is fixed in later revisions. Popular watch models like the Rolex Subs are on v7, v8 and the differences are on the order of micrometer spacing in lettering or the embossing thickness (again a cunt hair thickness) in indices.

Even worse, there are high end watch makers like Panerai who are above Rolex in pricing who ran headfirst into trouble since they did not use a custom movement for some of their models. This meant the Chinks just bought and modified standard ETA movements and these watches are basically poison pills on the market now because it's impossible to tell what's genuine even by experts taking them apart.

Just for reference:
>>The cyclops is usually fucked up and doesn't magnify 2.5x

This kind of problem was worked out years ago. You still see lesser quality replicas sold today because most people don't care enough to spend the extra to get 1:1.

>>12515904
>>find out that Quartz is considered the McDonalds of movements
>>suddenly disgusted with what is otherwise a nice watch

Fun fact:
When quartz first came on the scene mechanical watches started being considered garbage. They can't remotely compete with the reliability and ease of use of quartz. The service costs for automatics can be immense (and for cheaper versions it's essentially equal to just buying a new one).

This meant even high horology brands started putting out quartz versions. You can find gold Calatravas with a quartz movement.

Of course since quartz made watches cheap and reliable, mechanical watches had to become a luxury item. It's archaic and worse in every way. You don't buy one if you want to keep time.

As a bonus hardly anyone understands watches anymore. Even just wearing any watch is a bit odd even among people mid-30s. In short, nobody cares.

>>12519607
I used to, but it was hard to juggle my pocket watch, my walking stick, and my itaste at the same time. Only 2 hands, you know

>>12505201

Get the Submariner 14060M. No cyclops, so many won't see it's a Rolex right away and you basically won't eer lose real money on it.
It's a timeless watch and would look ok on a leather or nato strap as well.
Don't get me wrong, Omega is beautiful, but you'll regret not getting the Rolx eventually. Unless you can afford to get both in time, of course.

>>12511593

Fuck 'em, anon. You did good.
Anyone saying it's not special enough probably can't save money to even fix their car.

>>12515932
thx

>>12522143
>you basically won't eer lose real money on it.

1) Inflation. To not lose money the watch needs to reliably increase in value.
2) Service costs. Your watch takes a ~10% of cost service fee hit every 3-5 years (recommended) or 5-8 years (if you're trying to cheapskate).
3) Are you buying it new? Expect 10-15% depreciation the moment you take off that plastic protective band, at which point it goes from BNIB to used.
4) Are you planning on using it? Any accidental damage could mean losses of thousands of dollars even if it's "just cosmetic".
5) Unexpected changing tastes. This is probably the most volatile time to buy a luxury watch. The entire industry is struggling, at the same point Rolexes in particular cost the most they ever have historically (compared to the average salary). You are extremely vulnerable to huge losses within 10-20 years, even from something as mundane as changing tastes. Imagine having bought a quartz Rolex when that was the rising star of horology.

In short, this "won't lose money" crap is a line they feed to so you justify the extreme money. Nobody cares if it's true as long as you, the punter, has paid up.

The people making reliable money are talented flippers. People with more than one watch rarely buy new at all, as they know the initial hit in depreciation is the worst. That game is for chumps. More than any time previously new buyers should beware the looming hazards facing the industry; identical replicas and a death spiral of a lack of watch wearers. The smartwatches are also eating into the market.

People with big collections are looking to divest right now, not invest.

>>12522203

That's why I advised the 14060M. You'll never go wrong.

You're just a nigger that read some articles and has never worn a nice watch.

>>12522270
>>12522203

Oh yeah, imagine buying a quartz Rolex. It's worth more than ever, you double nigger.

>>12522203
basically if you're attempting to buy the watch as an investment you're basically going to fail. but if you want a watch that will hold value well relative to other similarly priced watches (not longe or patek), then rolex is an objectively better choice compared to omega
