/fa/ - Fashion

Wanted something affordable and minimal. Currently contemplating to buy a Junghans or Frederique Constant automatic.

OP here. My Nomos. I'm a sucker for German Glasshute style watches.

>>12968105
FC is overpriced. Junghans is really nice though, been thinking of picking up one myself.

ITT: perfume watches and other shitty quartz watches

Home with my Orient Mako Ray. Amazing cheap watch.

>>12968105
I have this one but with numbers

Its a bit too formal/dressy without them

>>12968121
>38mm

I dont wear female watches

>>12968540
Nice insecurities you have there, Anon.

>>12968540
Oh look the alpha male is here ! pic unrelated

Casual at the office today. Going to do some work outside later.

>>12969575
Love the Visodate, it's on the shortlist. Currently wearing a Tissot myself, a PRS 200 that my grandfather wore as a beater that I inherited. Oddly enough I think the lume on the hour and minute hands are upside down. The ones on the dial markers are fine,but I always see the green part of the hour and minute shine under them, but not on them.

>>12969583
Thats fun xD. However id go check it at your local workshop and get the hands right man.

Pic related is the Orient my dad used as a beater for 40 years. My grandad bought it for him as a present for his 18th birthday. I just copped a new strap for it last week.

>>12969595
>foot fedora showing also

>>12969595
Thats a good looking watch, Orient is another brand on my shortlist. Im between a few models but wont get a Mako since i just copped a SKX 007 and probably wont do another diver for a while.

And yeah Im currently back at school but once finals are done and Im back home for break I'm gonna take it to the local watchmaker and see whats up with it. Honestly it's not a big deal to me since I dont sleep in a watch and the lume is kinda trash to begin with (I mean it's a decently old watch) but still, worth a look.

here's mine.

Ugly watch coming trough

never forget

>>12969933
TbH I want to know why it’s in a bank vault, if he can afford that watch surely he can afford a high enough level of security for it at home?

>>12970074
Some people might feel more secure having things this expensive at a professionally secured building rather than a safe in the closet at home.

>>12970074
Not so easy. In any casy, owning things to keep them in a bank safe is pretty sad.

Also, he could have taken the pic at a Patek dealer... you never know.

>>12970092
Security at home goes further than your regulsr Gruber safe in the closet, specially for the kind of wealth you are talking about.

But in any case, its true that it is not easy to keep high security levels at home and daily life in general all the time.

>>12970097
>patek dealer
>having a 5970 in stock in 2014

>>12970116
Call it Patek dealer, call it a guy that has a 5970 to sell. He had months.

>>12969598
>t. faggot who looks like the virgin meme

>>12970218
pretty pathetic if he actually arranged a meeting with a private seller just to get a photo to show on an anonymous Korean strip searching forum.

given that he already owned something else expensive based on the other posts, it's less of a stretch that he actually could afford a 5970 patek.

>>12970317
Not probable, but who knows.

Got this yesterday. Its like forty years old and doesn't work - gotta send it to Bulova for repair.

>>12970654
Tell us how it goes, since Bulova has changed hands a number of time since that watch´s time and would be great news if they still support older models.

Nive watch.

>>12970661
>nice

>>12969863
why is it so dirty

Thoughts on DW-5600?

>>12970300
Im 30+ and married, gimme a break.

>>12970300
>>12970768

>>12970681
Because it's from the 60's & the dial detiriorated with age. I find it charming.

>>12970922
idknlooks kinda ugly desu

My baby

>>12971436
that's beautiful anon. i hope i can afford a lange some day

Are there any good U.S. watch manufacturers?

>>12971436
nice

>>12971700
RGM arguably, thought I don't really care for their stuff personally.

https://www.amazon.com/Diesel-Mens-DZ7333-Daddy-Watch/dp/B00NTN8TU8

thoughts?

>>12971700
RGM is basically the only real one today and they're very expensive and limited production and most of them are very nice watches and all but they're ass ugly. If you want to look at vintage stuff then there's lots of American brands, and even more so for pocket watches if you're into that. Timex, Bulova, Waltham, Elgin, and Hamilton were all once major American manufacturers and each one was important and interesting in its own way, but all those have been sold off and outsourced or are completely dead.

>>12971700
Apple desu senpai

I wear a vintage 1960's patek for the subdued old money look. Rolexes and other thick gaudy watches are for idiots

>>12971897
post pics faggot

>>12971905

>>12968499
I agree but the end links are shit. Other than that i love the watch on a nato

>>12971995
I have an orange nato for it too.

>>12971910
>>12971897
nice daniel wellington homage

>>12972032
Are you dutch? Because I can't imagine anyone finding that orange even remotely appealing.

>>12972177
Non dutch but i live in a subtropical island currently and find that orange great for sunny day fits here.

Getting this one

>>12970102
>>12970092
That's certainly true but I mean we trust our garages with expensive cars I feel like keeping it in a bank vault is excessive, however I have never owned anything within the same price range so I don't fully understand.

>>12971910

What reference number?

>>12972043
u wot m8?

trying to cope over your shitty watch brand?

>>12971897
>>12971910
As a fellow dress watch appreciator, mad respect to you.
However I must say, nice Luch homage.

I like the "vintage" petit-bourgeoisie look of watches like this one I found in a recommendations list, but I'd like one in the $40-50 quartz automatic range that actually works well.

>>12972043

>>12971897
Rolex is a boring normie brand, Patek is great because it flys under the radar for the most part.

>>12973375
do you consort exclusively with poorfags or something
patek is the literal opposite of "fly under the radar"

>>12970773
>posts watch instead of fit
hehe, you really got me there!

I need a dress watch. I'd also like some good vintage watches or classically styled watches sub $250

>>12973490
This is a watch thread after all.

>>12973335
>>12973335
Hey !

>>12973405
Most people know fuck all about watches even fairly wealthy people I know in my work and family who could afford something like a Patek or AP end up buying a TAG or Rolex because it’s recognisable.

>>12972183
Is this the cheapest watch that is remote business appropriate? Can one wear this with a suit? If not, can anyone suggest a cheap watch that you can wear in a business setting?

>>12974223
>Is this the cheapest watch that is remote business appropriate? Can one wear this with a suit? If not, can anyone suggest a cheap watch that you can wear in a business setting?

No one gives a shit anymore. Wear whatever you want.

>>12974214
Agree.

But its true that for example a similar Vacheron Constantin vintage is always cheaper and a bit less known (so even better).

I am even considering buying a formal Patek Quartz for full "zero fucks given" core.

>>12974214
>>12974356

>>12974371
Looks pretty nice desu, what’s the size and do Patek use some fancy quartz movement for it?

Thoughts?

>>12974392
They are not worth it, but thats the joke after all, and for sure look nice.

And the small/medium old ones are pretty affordable even not being good value.

The intelligent move for high end quartz is obviously a Grand Seiko, but who cares?

>>12974442
looks gay af

>>12970654
My nigger, I got this one a few months ago
>no pic because I sent it away

>>12974183
I love these sunburst dials in dress watches.
But anon please, don't use expandable bracelets, get some nice leather for it.

>>12974632
>don't use expandable bracelets
why ?

>>12974214

Yes because migos is a very under the radar rap group that mentions their patrician taste in Philippe to their genius listeners.

>>12975089
They are trash.

Are there any good flashy looking watches that are black and gold for under $100? I tend to like diamond watches I can't afford and I'm looking for something exceptionally nice on a budget. I'd be willing to increase my budge some if need be. I'd also be willing to drop the black and gold scheme for an equally flashy look.

>and im not expecting diamonds in my price range

>>12975273
Increase your budget a bit and buy this

>>12975289
I like it, but its not flashy enough. What do they run?

>>12975289

I have the same bambino but white dial, silver case. Utterly fantastic watch for the price. I get lots of compliments every time I wear it.

>>12975300
If you're looking for 'flashy' go for an Invicta or some other shit. This watch is plenty flashy but also refined. You can usually find them for as low as $120 to $200.

>>12975332
Invicta seems to be the way to go for my initial purchase. I'll research my prospects and act accordingly. Do you know any other brands comparable to Invicta?

>>12971700
does Timex count?

>>12968091
What do you guys think of my Chinese knock off watch?

Picked this up the other day

>>12976348
very nice anon
I'm waiting for my Type II quartz from Japan

give me your best lunarcore timepiece

>>12975627
>gmt
>no second timezone visible

uhh..

>>12976348

>>12976835
How about something like this?
Maybe changing the strap but it could work

>>12976835

>>12976835
Not as LC as coulg be but has details.

Also showing gloves.

>>12976889
Very cool watch.

I'm new to watches and I was just looking at some watches by Fossil. Are they good? Can anyone reccomend?

>>12976854
looks like LEGO technics/bionicle watch.

>>12977245
i'd stay away - design is not pleasing to my eye.

>>12976835

>>12976835

>>12977245
A non reputable warchmaker that buys generic chink shit components anon.

If hou want something quartz, flashy and decent for few monies go full Casio Edifice.

>>12977245
most of their watches are either too thick or too retarded looking but you can find something good once in a while
> pic related my fossil

>>12968091
They're not popular, but I like my smart watch. It tells me the weather, how many steps I took today, my heartbeat, I can talk to it, and it gives me notifications from my calendar.

>>12977376
But that thing at bottom of the screen tho. It looks so dumb and failed, idiocy.

Picked this up yesterday. Like it so far but it was 5 mins behind this morning. Might return it if it loses time again.

>>12977532
It's such a little thing. It's really not missed, I promise you.

>>12976841
obviously he lives in Britain and only uses it in winter :^)

>>12977245
Do not EVER buy from one of these new minimalist brands (eg: fossil, MVMT, Daniel Wellingshit, etc). They use exactly the same movement and materials that you can find on a $15 minimalist watch on aliexpress. If you want a decent looking cheap watch go for Seiko or other Japanese automatic watches

>>12977673
>>12977245
Sorry, I'm being a retard, Fossil is a decent brand. However that post still applies to the other buncha chumps.

>>12977684
Fossil is trying, has some decent stuff regarding quality both sold as Fossil brand "swiss made" range or Skagen etc. But those are not cheap, so you can as well buy something more reputable.

Their cheap stuff is... cheap, and by all means worse than similarly priced traditional japanese brand stuff (casio, orient, citizen or seiko). Better than other "fashion brand watches"? Maybe in some cases. Most of them are made in China with who knows what movements.

Wouldnt cop.

>>12975289
Dam that looks great, i might just because of your suggestion

How does the quality of Tudor compare to Rolex?

>>12980252
Tudor has had different eras.

Todays Yudors are very very good, their in hpuse movements are in some aspects quite similar to Rolexs and cosc certified. In past times they have used generic etasa movements, not bad but a bit less apealing.

There are a few videos comparing them at Youtube.

IMO, id never buy a modern Datejust or Submariner having the option of the equivalent Tudors for half the price. But if you "need" a Rolex Crown on your wrist i would not blame you either.

>>12976835

Entire Seiko SCED range, not just the Ripley watch

>>12976835

A few more.

>>12976835

7a28

Yo, anyone know what kind of watch is the golden/silver one he's wearing? I've been looking for it for a long time

>>12981198

Probably some $2 noname day date. Could be a Seiko 7n43 or similar though.

>>12976835
with a solid black band

>>12976835

Speedy on velcro too literal?
