Eh, not bad.

had some store credit with shnoop, picked up a pulsar on sale. thing looks sweet

The only watch worth considering.

Cheap IWC knocks off.

>>12580745
are these casio watches a meme, or are ylal dead serious?

i mean for around 10 bucks im sure its decent

>>12580664
I was looking into buying a watch first a Braun then a Seiko 5 Military. But as I went further and further down the watch rabbit hole people were getting very hostile about quartz watches, no matter how well made. They said a mechanical or automatic is the only REAL watch, and everything else is garbage.

Then I found that mechanical and automatic are actually inferior when it comes to timekeeping(the primary purpose of a watch) and all these autists care about is the "movement" (still don't know what that means), which to my knowledge has no bearing on the function or appearance of the watch. Are these people crazy or what?

>>12581743
these watches just have a cult following and they are really comfortable, reliable and functional.

I'm happy with mine, maybe gonna cop a silver one next. we'll see. and it's great they are so cheap and you still get a quality wristwatch.

I've seen much worse but totally overpriced which didn't even come in a box.

>>12581773
they act like that because if you're a collector of valuable watches, then they have to be mechanical ones. quartz ones barely count for anything in the watch world if you're into luxury watches. that's all there is to it. there is absolutely nothing wrong with quartz.

>>12581743
people like them because they are so cheap that if you lose them or damage them, it literally doesn't matter. you can just buy another one cheap.

Sup fags,

Festival season is upon us and I'm looking for a Seiko 5 (SNK809) Type watch with 10 atm.

Original strap doesn't matter. I'd like the case to be somewhat decent. I'm planning on putting a nato strap on it to match the strap with what ever the fuck I'm wearing.

Is this fake or real deal?
also, anyone knows the model?

>>12580950
Its your typical chinese shitter watch. They take cheap chinese models make small adjustments, slap a western logo on it, and sell at extremely high marked up prices.

>>12581900
Obviously fake.

>>12582221
thanks

And what's genersl consensus on Montblanc watches?

>>12582398
I'd say it is very high tier but lot of people from here hates them for unknown reasons

>>12580987
The new model looks so shit

>>12581773
I just went through a similar phase. The trick is to not go into the rabbit hole in the first place, because it's full of virgins and dorks. In real life normal people don't care about what watch you, or they, are wearing, or if the watch has an unnecessarily complicated mechanical movement.

I'm probably going to get a f91w or a swatch

Are there any retro looking watches that aren't Timex?

>>12581773
>>12581879
Wrong!

New collectors dismiss quartz but true collectors dont mind quartz as long as they are well made. The grand seiko quartzes spring to mind which regulates according to temperature.

>>12581900
Looks fake but its supposed to be the doctors without borders Tangente from Nomos

>>12583305
I actually thought about Grand Seiko but that's just one brand after all.

What's wrong with Quartz? isn't it more accurate than mechanical?

>>12583354

The thing that's wrong with quartz is that everyone uses the same .5 cent movement as everyone else and barely any innovation happens.

There are exceptions like Grand Seiko and a few others that actually do cool stuff with quartz however.

>>12583342
Yeah. Unfortunately there aren't many of them.

>>12583360
They should hurry up and miniaturize atomic clocks already

Someone here has a Credor watch? What do you think about them?

>>12583362
It already sort of exists supposedly. It was a Kickstarter project so there's about a 99% chance it was bullshit.

>>12583368
>Anybody here own an extremely limited production handmade $50,000 watch
I wish. The Eichi II is a lot nicer looking than the one you posted though, and it's still in production.

>>12582398
>that detail on the second hand
Good goy

My dad gave me his old seiko
Not sure what model. Just swapped out the battery, kept his ancient watchband, not even sure what you'd call this kind.

poorfag here. Just got this.
In the category of the cheapest watches, how /fa/ is it?

Looking to get into higher end watches in 2k range so I'm looking at either a TAG F1, or Omega Seamaster or maybe a used Rolex for a bit more. Anyone have opinions? Resell value is not a major point.

>>12583841
Wtf, you are seriously going to wear this? It would be ok if you were 60 years old lady.

>>12584167
Nah probably not, apparently it was in when my dad wore it in the 80s. He gave it to me because he knew i was looking for watch. It was thoughtful of him even though it's not a good look, so I put a battery on it at least.

Anyone like vintage soviet watches?

>>12584200

what mm size strap would look the best on a Timex Weekender? 18mm or 20mm?

>>12584204
WtC?

>>12584286
vostok komandirskie

>>12584295
These are actually really cool

>>12584148
I just bought pic related and I absolutely love it, it's beautiful. It's an older reference, not one of the current ones, and even then it was closer to $4000 so you'll probably need to stretch your budget a bit if you want a Rolex. An Explorer is one of the cheaper models, but stuff like Datejusts or Air-Kings are cheaper. Don't sink so low that you buy a beat up old Datejust missing the bracelet, though.

Some other options I considered were Tudor, Grand Seiko, and Sinn. Omega has some good models and some real shit, it depends what kind of Seamaster you're looking at. TAG is shit don't waste your money on that.

Your price range is high enough that you should worry more about finding something you like first and then worrying about the budget. Don't limit all your searches to watches under $2000 and then find what you really wanted was a $2100 watch you didn't even consider. On the other hand it's all kind of splitting hairs anyway, there's not a whole lot separating a $500 and $2000 and $5000 watch.

There's nothing more beautiful than an skeleton watch

>>12584386
I think so too, cheap, rugged, tons of variations, there's a ton of nice Russian brands, Poljot has some really interesting ones too.

>>12580664
cheap badly made shit

>>12584436
That's an open face watch, not a skeleton.

>>12583841
What is the model (should be on dial, abcd-efgh)

>>12584436
You mean steampunk watch.

>>12584200

>>12584704
>steampunk
That's stupid.
The Master Minute Repeater is not steampunk, Vianney Halter Antiqua is.

>>12583873
Not bad. Solid brand, clean design.

>>12581879
>these watches just have a cult following
no they fucking dont. hipsters are buying them because theyre hipsters

swatch, vostok, they have cult followings. casio has a bunch of idiots buying ugly outdated shit

>>12585962
>Casio
>ugly outdated shit
Okay then, I hope you're happy with those flashy tuna cans strapped to your wrist. I like my sleek, versatile, compact and efficient timepiece.

Sup /fa/ what do you think about my watch collection?
dont mind the invicta, was my first automatic watch.

>>12580745
>>12580915
Is there a guide for these Casio's? I like the Casio A168W-1, but it seems like there's a thousand varieties that are just slightly different.

>>12586074
Very nice collection. Next one should be Omega Speedmaster Professional MAN ON THE FUCKING MOON!
>>12584261
The lug width is 20 mm so the 20 mm strap looks the best.

>>12586074
get rid of the invicta and the skx and get a nice chronograph

>>12585962
>ugly outdated shit

>7 years battery life and accurate as fuck
>has chrono, light, alarm
>slim design that makes it so light that you litterally forget you're wearing it (I sleep with it myself)

>will endure the hardest shitjobs you'll do with it, construction and demolition being one of them
>can be nice looking with a nato strap on it
>don't give a fuck if you scratch it
>design so simple that people make IED's with them
>litterally cost 10 bucks

fuck outta here with your shit. Meanwhile I've been a cunt enough to blow 150€ on a fossil that is laying in some drawer with a dead battery.

>>12580664
my basic day to day watches. looking to get a high end soon enough.

>>12585962
what you said is just not true. Casio has a big fanbase.

>>12586627
this.
>>12585982
this.

>>12586464
>get rid of an SKX
Why would anyone ever do that? I would say he should throw the Invicta in the trash, get a bracelet for the SKX, and get something dressy.

>>12583280
Tissot Visodate

>>12583280
Retro vintage styled stuff is super popular now, there's way too many to list. Hamilton Intra-matic or Jazzmaster, a bunch of Longines and Omegas, the Seiko Turtle, Tudor Heritage line, several Grand Seikos, Nomos and other Bauhaus watches, Fliegers, tons of microbrands. At least give us a price range or something. What style, dressy or casual or a diver or a chronograph or what?

>>12587312
>>12587414
By retro I meant something related to pic related, something that's a little quirky and simple but not Bauhaus, and I finally found the Mondaine which I almost think the fallout 3 watch is modelled after. The stop2go feature looks pretty neat as well

Thoughts?

>>12588121
looks bad

Anybody know sooner good square face watches? I currently have this one by Casio, but it's starting to fuck up on me. I'm willing to spend a good amount for a timeless piece, as long as it's not $500+. I like the look of square faced watches. What are your thoughts on them?

>>12588206
you could try something like this for a change, I think you could get one for about $100

>>12581743
Search wikipedia for "terrorist watch"

>>12588211

Not that guy, but fucking instacopped.

>>12588206
>a good amount
>not $500+
Watches are expensive things anon. You could get a Seiko 5 square model or a Larsson & jenning but they are overpriced shitters

>>12588206
>a good amount
>not $500+
Watches are expensive things anon. The only decent square watch in your budget is the Seiko 5 models

What to do if I have hella bony wrists? Never have gotten into watches before but I'm getting sick and tired of having to keep pulling my phone out of my pocket. Do I just wear it higher on my arm?

>>12588738
Yep, above elbow

>look at analog watch with numbers
>takes ~>1 second to determine time

>look at analog watch with bullets or other substitutions
>takes several seconds to determine time

How do i get better at reading watches?

>>12588954
Huh, I cannot even imagine this, I could understand it if you were bad at reading it at all, but if it issue only when numbers are missing...
Maybe just get watch without numbers and use only that for checking time. You should get better, I dont know there is any other advice. Or set such analogue watch also on your phone and computer.

>>12582398

You'll lose a lot of money if you eer want to sell it. Other than that they make nice things.

>>12584420

This guy gets it. Great watch and post.

>>12586074

Don't love the Invicta, but hey. Maybe get something with a lighter dial and/or a bit dressier next?

>>12587312
Cock is erect. Anything similar looking for around 200$? 250$?

>>12581743

They're instantly recognisable, functional, timeless, affordable and kind of iconic.

>>12584148

For 2k you can't go wrong with a Tudor. Maybe a preowned Seamaster.

>>12584148

Save a little bit and go for a used Speedy or Rolex Datejust 36mn

>>12588982
>Maybe just get watch without numbers
Been doing that for a few weeks now, I struggle, i will buy a cheap watch with numbers or atleast 12,3,6,9 soon

I want a nice watch.

With the field I'm in -- software -- if I strap a Rolex to my wrist I'll look like a tryhard.

Are there any effay smartwatches?

>>12589086

No. Got the Tag Heuer Connected as a gift and I barely wear it.

Switching from chronograph to GMT feature can be nice or read your text / mail can be nice though but definitely not worth the price.

For that money I would have bought a used Rolex datejust or Omega Constellation.

>>12589096
How much do you have to pay for it? Does it have any cool feautures?
Posting my tag too.

>>12589136

>>12589140
Rude. I did read it, but is that all it does?

>>12589136

Price was around 1600 euros, not sure now with the release of the Connected Modular model.

Regarding features, well you have the classical Android Wear apps: text, email, steps, light, etc.

Not sure if it is Tag Heuer Connected specific but there is an "idle" face mode (attached pic) which can trick few people thinking it's a non-connected watch.

>>12589136
Tag is a shitter. You have a tacky gold-plated shitter.

>>12589158
>gold-plated
Only on the bracelet, the rest is solid.

Thoughts?

Hey, I'm considering buying this off of E-bay, and I'm a little skeptical of the authenticity. The style is exactly what I'm after, but it doesn't look like anything from the brand that I've seen, and why would a Russian Watch have English writing anyways?

>>12589923
This is the photo of the back the guy has posted, what are you guys' thoughts?

>>12588211
Is the light on this one just a cheap LED in the back? My current Casio has that and it looks terrible

>>12589923
I know nothing about that watch but english writings, especially Made in USSR, were common on items made for export, so it doesn't say anything about authenticity.

t. Made in USSR

>>12588118
I have the mondaine giant, the mineral glass gets scratched and the strap falls apart after a year. I dropped it when taking it off in the shower and it goes slow now. There's no mondaine repair centre in my country reeee

>>12589923
Vostoks are cheap as fuck and also it wouldve taken you one second to realize that that it isnt authentic

>>12590412
>>12589923
It is authentic fuck mispell

>>12588738
Just wear a smaller watch.

There's plenty of men's watches down to 36mm if you look for them. The F91W is a great option, too.

>>12589346

>>12591701
I have ny0040 and it's the left model in your pic with black dial (pic related). I bought it for about $200 with bracelet and it's amazing bang for buck.

>>12591833
Maxi case is disgusting.

>>12590054
I-is it a sh-shitter?

>>12592120
It's not the worst shitter ever but yeah it's a gimmicky overpriced quartz shitter.

Hey /fa/ any suggestion on watches, top price around $250, mainly using them with a black and blue suit

>>12581900
Usually you can tell by price.

Have you seen in person? Legit Noms have a shiny almost pearlescent finish to their dials that doesn't show up well in pictures. I haven't seen an fakes that replicate the effect

>>12591856
why

>>12592654
The Sub used to be sleek and elegant, and then you could buy a Seadweller if you wanted an overweight Sub. Now the Sub is a big fat watch with those awful thick lugs, and the new Seadweller is a shiny ceramic dinner plate.

Been looking for a cheap fake gold watch for a /sleazecore/ fit, found this one
But there is another version with a white dial, will cop that one

New Tissot V8 is beautiful imho, what do you guys think?
I liked also older more classical version but it wasn't as universal as this one, it looked like it was desigbed to be paired with fucking driving gloves.
It was unique but this one is better for daily use, I would call it poor man's speedmasters.
For about 400 usd the price/value ratio is very nice. For good quartz watch this would be pick no.1 for me.

>>12593130
Also what I forgot to mention, it looks huge but case diameter is 42,5 so it's ok as far as you are not skeleton.

>>12593130
Looks ok. A bit reminiscent of the Speedmaster.
>>12591833
Love the green one!
>>12589763
Pretty cool
>>12589346

>>12593217
A TT DJ with the jubilee bracelet is a classic watch, love it. It's a great watch for any occasion, but I still wouldn't wear it as a daily beater since it's too flashy for my taste.

If I got a Datejust, I'd get pic related.

>>12589705
Jesus Christ, that guy is an annoying pretentious tool. Archie is less obnoxious.

>>12593334
t. Archie

>>12593329
The smaller and simpler the DJ the better, in my opinion. Stick indices and smooth bezel is my favorite.

>>12593217
Two-tone looks better with a white dial, and two-tone in general makes me think of an old man buying himself a Datejust for retirement and then playing golf all day long. It's a classic watch though, don't get me wrong if I had one I would love to wear it.

>>12593353
That's a 36mm. Small enough.

>>12593353
I think the fluted bezel adds a little ""pop"" to an otherwise simple watch.

Bought my first watch. What do you think? My budget was fairly "low" at ~300usd

>>12593522
Could've done a lot worse for your first watch, Seiko's a great brand. It looks a little big for your wrist though. Could've gotten a SARB035 for similar price and it would've fit your wrist better

>>12593522
5/10 choice, it is kinda big for your wrist which is important factor for me but you may not feel the same

>>12591833
I think that bezel looks polished and that rehault looks suspiciously deep.

>>12593522
Could have gotten a SARB, instead you got a 10 buck quartz shitter.

>>12591352
No, for just a bit more you could have bought an Amphibia with steel case instead of shit brass, better aesthetics and double depth rating.
0/10 you fucked up.

>>12593597
Get a real Constellation those modern ones are disgusting. Look how small this is, there's no way you're so bitchwristed that you can't wear a 35mm watch.

Got this faux so for cheap. Dumbest chrono ever, the month dial rotates with the hour hand making it useless and the timer starts the day dial meaning it's useless

Tag have a rather bad reputation for scamming new money

What is the best looking watch money can buy on the 400-500 dollar range?

>>12595730
That is an incredibly subjective question

To answer this we would have to know your tastes

>>12595733

What would the best looking one be for you? I don't know shit about watches, I like really shiny things

>>12595737
Well I am a collector of watches in a price range a bit more than that so I'm a Rolex and AP guy - so for me it would be timeless stuff that will look good for decades (not fad shit like an apple watch)

So if I were to buy something in your range, it would be a classic, conservative vintage watch such as a vintage Bulova. On the newer end, Tissot is very nice

>>12595737
>>12595748
Also I only have a couple watches haha.. so I'd also pick something I wouldn't get tired of

disclaimer I dont have money by any means, everything was gifts or steep discount

>>12580664
it's true ?
Watches at $0 ?

>>12595737
for me it would be timeless stuff that will look good for decades (not fad shit like an apple watch)

So if I were to buy something in your range, it would be a classic, conservative vintage watch such as a vintage Bulova. It's not very flashy but they are very cool. On the newer end, Tissot is very nice in your range (and shiny)

>>12595755
I don't know whether you are a shill or a bot but either way you need to fuck off.

>>12584200

I used to collect them, until I got sick of them and sold them all on eBay. They are all shitters. If you wanna go cheap rather buy Japanese desu, much better movements, materials, realiability and value.

so what about an old Montblanc?

Chuckled at the pic

Thoughts? Wanna get one, but they're sold out everywhere.

>>12596752
fucking forgot the pic.

Should I cop for 800?

>>12596754

Awesome affordable dress watch. Slightly large though so if you are a wristlet don't bother.

>>12589681
do u like the montblanc wallet
I have some montblanc trash but idk if I want to complete the trinity of memes(pens+watch)

>>12592816
why not just get a 16610 if the 116610 bothers you so much

Copped this one now, yet to arrive. What do you guys think?

>>12597923
He asked why I don't like maxi cases so I explained it. If I wanted a Sub I would probably go for a 14060m or maybe 5513, personally I like the no-date better.

But actually I have an 114270 which I picked over a new 214270 because I don't like the new overweight Rolexes. Normally I love divers, but the Sub is just so recognizable and for whatever reason I felt drawn to the Explorer instead.

Be honest /fa/, am I a wristlet? Or is my wrist pretty normal sized?

>>12598209
In my unofficial opinion, I'd say your wrists look a lot like mine. Probably shouldn't stray above 40mm watches

CITIZEN ROSS

>>12585135
They aren't really pepo

>>12598249
What size watches do you generally wear? 40mm is the limit, of course, but do you find yourself usually wearing 35-39mm?

>>12593061
fuck, I have Yazole, bought it for shit's and giggles for 5€. It's not even worth 5€ my man, it's so shit. I still have it somewhere, ticking loudly until in a far away closet.

>>12598209
Eh, it looks fine/normal. You could wear a 44mm Panerai no prob.

>>12589318
I would get a Citizen BN0151 and a NATO, but if I had to choose from those I'd get a black Turtle. A guy on some thread said the black ones have better QC, and after getting burned once with a blue unit I'd be willing to listen. Bracelet is pretty crap feeling, wouldn't bother with one.

>>12596351
VERY NICE. Do you wear that as an everyday piece?

>>12592120
yeah desu it's not really worth the money. It looks nice though.

>>12598321
I've got a Casio Edifice and Timex Expedition that are both 40mm and look fine, and the Seiko SNK 809, at 37mm, which I think looks nice against my wrist. I'm picking up pic related today, also 40mm. I like the curved lugs and the bezel, as it might look a bit smaller on my wrists.

Is it possible to buy a cheap watch that has the arm sweep like a rolex does, how it goes smoothly and doesn't tick?

>>12598209
Use that cable and a ruler and post your wrist circumference.

https://medlineplus.gov/ency/imagepages/17182.htm

>>12598992
most of the automats have it like this

>>12598992
If you want a smoother sweep, the cheapest way is to get a Bulova Accutron, smoother than a Rolex. Actually, it's the smoothest thing apart from a Spring Drive. If you want a mechanical that's exactly as smooth as a Rolex, just get something with an ETA 2824 or Miyota 9015, they both beat at 28.800 vph.

What do you guys think of Ebay watches? I want to cop a Burberry Watch on Ebay from a pre-owned user for my first watch (i.e. some guy from Texas is auctioning off his whole watch collection this week)

I wanna get pic related for like 120$ or less. I don't mind scratches aslong as it works and isn't so expensive to fix.

>>12599138
>120 buckaroos
>Burberry
Get a Seiko 5. Look for a quartz Seiko or Citizen if you don't want a mechanical, Timex and Casio are good too, just avoid shitty fashion brands.

Wearing AP Royal Oak offshore Diver atm

Highly recommend especially if you're new to the AP brand

>start wearing my skx007 24/7 only take it off to prevent paint or sparks damaging it
>get 1 deep and 1 small scratch in 2 weeks
I should get seals when I order a sapphire right?

What do you think about pic related? Overall design and brand quality. Also if right which color? I want it to be a little dressy but not too serious.

I would buy a steel strap for the Seiko.

>>12594657

id on that please?

Thoughts on this watch?

>>12599243
Cool, I like the Sekios and they got some good designs thanks. I just thought Burberry first because I didn't really know anything other than Rolex and Casio.

Also whats your guys' opinion on Steel Link Straps vs Leather/Designer Straps? I don't really like the feeling of the cold steel heavy links, but I don't want to look gay using leather straps

>>12599573
SARX015

Also, buy the SKX and a Super Oyster bracelet. Open heart is cheesy and that other diver on the left is some no-name shitter.

>>12598744
yeah

i was expecting everyone to shill fashion shitters here. Pleasantly surprised. This is what I'm wearing today

>>12599760
the SKX is such a bad meme
>"shake your wrist like a sperg to wind"

>>12599937
Yeah, that's how automatics work. The SKX is an excellent cheap beater automatic with legit 200m ISO water resistance and with its own heritage unlike all the countless Submariner ripoffs. What's wrong with it? Too popular and you want to be a special snowflake, it doesn't have handwinding, the chapter ring usually doesn't line up very well, the stock bracelet is shit so you need to buy another one, or what? Those are all pretty minor complaints.

How's my collection?

Hey /fa/ thoughts on the attached image? Trying to decide which one or two I buy. Left to right:
MVMT 40 Black+Gold (40mm) - £120
MVMT 40 White+Gold (40mm) - £120
Instrmnt 01 White+Silver (40mm) - £180 (Also a White+Gold version)
Uniform Wares M40 (40mm) - £350
Uniform Wares M42 (40mm) - £600

I like the idea of getting two, or getting a gold and white faced one with a tan strap and a black strap to swap. Also anyone know good UK based fashion forums or places to cop second hand watches? Might buy all of them if I can find them cheaper

I need an advice from you guys.
I got 300 Euro to spend for a new watch. It should be an automatic and preferably a skeleton and have a classic look to it. I know I'm askin for a lot in that price range, but still, worth a shot.

1. is BUREI
2. is Stuhrling Original 747M.03
3. is Ingersoll IN4511RBK
4. is Lindberg & Sons SK14H002

I like the 4th best, what do you guys think? Should I get that one or one of the others. Or a completely different watch?

>>12600050
you have good taste.

>>12584261
I just got mine today anon

>>12600123
>>12600124
Stop buying fashion watches from shit Chinese brands reeeeeeee. Skeleton or open heart anything is cheesy as hell, at least get something with just a display back for when you want to stare at the movement.

>>12600764
Chinese brands? Uniform Wares are designed in London and Swiss made, Instrmnt are designed in London and are Swiss made plus have collars with Dezeen and MVMT are a US brand with a Japanese Quartz movement....

>>12600124
>>12601276
Ah looks like you were trying to reply to the post below mine....

Anyone know any good EU/UK places for buying used watches? Like fashion forums and stuff

>>12589086
No
Anon I used to own both pebbles and android wear watches
They're all just over complicated toys that strap to your wrist
Even the pebbles I used to have
Plus it gets very annoying to have something buzzing on your wrist after a while

>>12593922
Too much of a hassle to charge
Also too thicc

>>12598209
Nah you're fine
t. Wristlet

>>12586074
Nice colection but i can't see the point of owning seiko and invicta when u already have a nice tudor diver.

>>12589681
Why replace the nice bracelet with some cheap, black nato strap?

>>12600050
Excellent. I'm in love with the Omega Constellation.

>>12601572
burn this

>>12601584
What's wrong with it?

>>12601587
>Too big
>Gold plated
>Tacky
>Fashion watch
>Fake chronograph subdials

>>12600050
That's classy as fuck.

If anyone is interested in quallity dress watch, long island watches is having a sale on orient open heart. $117 for a really quallity mechanical watch from a reputable japanese watchmaker.

>>12589688
hey, which casio is that?

>>12602522
a158

I'm glad I didn't fell for SKX meme. I don't like it at all but almost bought it.

>>12601562
Thanks anon I like it too, it was my grandpa's.

>>12600028
>you look like a sperg winding it
>it looks like shit
>it feels like shit

"minor complaints"

how automatics "work" is they wind as you wear them, but to get them running initially, you wind them via the crown (unless its a shitty SKX, of course). I'm sorry you couldn't afford better

>>12602565
good lad
>>12602586
love these but not spending 1k on something chinese

>>12603413
>>12603415
You just pull the crown to set the time and that's enough impulse to get it ticking and then it just winds up by itself because the winding system is actually really efficient. All my other automatics don't need manual winding either, are you sure your watch is working right? Are you so sedentary that you can't keep an automatic watch running?

I think the SKX looks and feels pretty great but that's my opinion I guess. Putting a solid link bracelet on it makes it a million times nicer. Do you people not have cheap beater watches or what? Am I supposed to buy an $8000 Sub for when I want to change my oil or get sweaty or go for a swim?

>>12580745
I love mine

>>12601468

It is the Omega nato provided in the box set. I like to swap depending on what clothes I wear.

Might do the same with my Submariner.

>>12597916

The leather smell is great and it is overall good quality. I am sure you can have more for the bucks though (bought it 430 euros 3 years ago)

look at all my chinese shitter watches, a combined total of maybe £30

Whats your opinion about this brand? I've got my first "real" watch from them and I'm quite fond of them ever since.
btw. not Swiss but Austrian, lol

>>12604136

That logo copy from Jaeger-Le Coultre!

>>12603440
cheap beaters are good, but the SKX has a shitty outdated movement that you find in watches at a quarter of the price. It's a meme anon, face it

I have no idea about watches, a friend is on europe and asked me about his watch, I want your review

>>12604464

>>12594573
Beatiful luxury watch, but not very good in quality

>>12584420
Agree, good post

>>12588888
Got me good.

>>12589272
I dig that face but the oval case throws me off.

>>12593217
How do you feel about the dark dial? I was looking a dark blue datejust but I'm not sure if I'd like it.

>>12593645
It looks gross. No offense

>>12599934
Looks kind of "off" on that bracelet imo. Great watch overall though

>>12600050
Pretty awesome man. Not crazy about the color of the dial on that seiko on the left. And I love the dial of the middle Omega, but the shape of the case is not really my thing. Everything else is great though. I have that SARB035 too, fucking love that watch

>>12603920
Only a chump would buy a real watch

>>12601469
Reminds me of those old style whitewall tires

Can I get a rate and a suggestion for the final slot in my box?

I'm thinking of an 80's two tone datejust or maybe an explorer.

>>12605222
ID on far left?

Also I'd vote for explorer over two tone personally unless you have the right clothing for an excessively 80s watch

>>12605170
The orange-yellow dial on the Seiko is actually surprisingly nice looking in person, it has a great brushed finish to it. The case and bracelet are all chewed up though as you can see. That Seiko and the Omega are both my dad's watches from the 70s so I think they're sort of retro-cool, but I definitely understand if other people think they're weird and outdated.

Omega actually ran a big marketing campaign with those oval watches talking about how they were the first watches actually designed to fit the human wrist perfectly. Obviously that's total bullshit and didn't actually catch on.

>>12605222
Get an Explorer and then put that diver on a proper bracelet where it belongs. How are you going to have a 200m diver on a leather strap that stinks like hell and turns to mush if you get it wet?

I think two-tone is an outdated look, but it's up to you and Datejusts are still very nice classic watches in steel or in two-tone. You are also kind of lacking in a dressier watch, I guess.

>>12597939
If you are russian/ can read russian characters than its cool. Else meh

>>12605229
Left is a SARG015.

The goal of my 4th watch is to work with a suit and not be redundant with any watch I currently own.

>>12605240
I'm actually feeling the color more in that pic anon. And the fact that both of those watches are handed down to you is great. I've always been envious of people who got their father's or grandfather's watch passed down to them. My dad's been wearing g-shock for as long as I can remember, so not exactly anything to get excited about inheriting.

>>12605258
The current production 214270 Explorer has a matte dial and is definitely more on the sporty side. My 114270 has a nice shine and gloss to it and is a bit smaller so it can slide under a shirt cuff and do the job with a suit. It's still definitely an everyday more casual watch, though.

If I was looking for a dress watch I would do a light colored dial instead and probably a leather strap over a bracelet. I like the classic simple gold dress watch style, but that's also probably not something to wear every day and it's not something Rolex makes so you would have to look elsewhere. Unless you have a gorillion dollars to drop on a Cellini I guess, but even then that practically puts you in like JLC or even Patek and VC territory and who in their right mind would pass those up?

Although it is rather a shitter, I love this watch.
No chinese shit, but a well made commie one.

>>12605258
>>12605298
I can't seem to find a good side-by-side photo showing the difference in the dials but just go through google images or something and you'll sort of see what I mean. Here you can at least see how pigfat the 39mm is compared to the 36mm.

>>12605222
Considering all of the watches in your collection are inexpensive (hundreds of dollars), it seems odd to me that your first expensive purchase (thousands of dollars) would be something so gaudy and borderline "ironic" as a two tone rolex. I get that you want it to be different than the rest of your collection, but I think if you get the explorer and leave it on its bracelet that'll be plenty different.

>>12605258

Have you looked at vintage IWC or Longines? They are getting more expensive, but their dress watches are unmatched at your pricepoint if you ask me.

>>12580664
Just copped one of these with a leather band too, did I do well?

>>12584436
can anybody recommend me something like this for up to 200$?

>>12580915
This looks much better, might cop.

>>12605331
I'm not rich and only make about 80k a year. I'm pretty prudent in my purchases and Rolex ticks all my boxes. I don't buy a watch with intention to sell it one day, but I like the idea of a watch that can hold it's value over time. Would an all steel datejust be as quintessential as the two tone one? I think it might be, but I could be wrong. I do really like the explorer, more than the datejust actually, I just don't know how much of a gap it leaves for something formal.

>>12605690
pls respond

>>12605751
Why don't you just buy the Explorer if that's what you like especially if you plan on being stuck with it for a while. You can get a cheap or cheap-ish dress watch later if you really need it, but you can probably live without it anyway. Even a vintage gold-cap Seamaster or Constellation or Longines or something can be had for under $1000 if you're willing to hunt around for one worth buying, those are classy as hell. Or for new watches in the hundreds range there's all kinds of Orients or Hamiltons or stuff in that range that are pretty nice.

>>12605787
>Le Apple font
I think it's kind of ugly, but I guess Mondaine isn't the worst quality watch you could've bought. I don't see why you'd need to pay inflated Swiss prices for what is basically a shit Chinese quartz watch that happens to be made in Switzerland.

>>12605791
Honestly, as far as Mondaine goes, $200 for a decent quality Swiss watch is pretty good

>>12605804
Yeah but my point was does it even matter that it's Swiss or not Swiss? It's a basic throwaway quartz movement built by machines stuffed in a case built by machines, who cares if the robots are sitting in China or Switzerland? There's not exactly some gnarled old Swiss master craftsman elf lovingly assembling the watch and making sure it's perfect just as the previous 8 generations of his family have done in the same tiny village in the Jura Valley.

Is this a meme, or is it actually something worth the money? Assuming you have infinite monies
