It's made with shit chinese parts and marked up 1000%

If you want to buy a watch buy Swiss made

>>13009718
>If you want to buy a watch buy Swiss made

this

how can anyone buy a not swiss made watch unless you're poor

just stop

>>13009773
i mean, you can even get a fucking quartz if you dont wanna spend that much
just get it swiss made.

>>13009773
>>13009718

If you want to get a watch get Soviet made.

Ftfy

>>13009773
>>13009777
Because what is Japan?

>>13009905
A shitty imitation of traditional Swiss craftsmanship?

>>13009201
>brother got me one of these for christmas
>it looks nice and I get a lot of compliments
>always see mad people in watch threads
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
granted I do live in the Detroit area

>>13009201
Should I buy it?

Discontinued Gshock. Nicest display.

>>13009913
Hi gentlemen, Antonio here with my last crap sponsor... Vincero watches.

Need help deciding, these two watches are similar in quality but have very different looks. They're both swiss made automatics and retail around 1k but I can get either one for 300.

Which is nicer?

>>13009840
Soviet watches have some novelty I'll give you that, however do you really believe they can compete with the likes of patek philippe, audemars piguet, rolex etc?

>>13009905
Decent workhorse movements - but very rarely does Japan produce a genuine luxury watch

>>13009221
god you're a fag

>>13009956
take the Bulova

>>13009963
Hi there.

Opinions on this? Like the colors and simplicity but don't know about the quality.

I know someone else posted a Vincero, I'm not him and/or a shill. I genuinely like the look of this watch and the watch overall, but is it worth it even if it has a low price tag? Don't wanna spend $150 on something that is shit or gonna fall apart

Just bought.

Smart watch or nothing, get with the times grandpas

Not really a watch guy but thinking of copping to aid the terrorwave thing I've had going on for a while now.

>>13010734
Only smartwatch id consider buying is the Citizen Eco-drive bluetooth.

>>13010391
Why would you buy that when you can have a Seiko 5, Orient Bambino or even a Invicta submariner clone for far less money?

>>13009221
suck my fucking dick you fucking teen retard

My babes at the moment, gonna save up for a snowflake cause of my seiko hard-on

>>13009960
diff guy, maybe not in craftsmanship but in aesthetic?

>>13011039
Man... Visodate on a NATO? Really? Why?

And also the Seamaster 300m... put its original bracelet back, its the best of the watch!

Im ok with the rest. And very nice collection btw, quite similar to mine in many ways.

>>13010541
You really wanted a Daniel Wellington, but think that they're overused by plebs, so you went off to buy an exact copy?

r8

>>13011173
Ok. Logical watch.

>>13011127
Wanted a minimalist watch for under $200. Brathwaits have sapphire crystal, Swiss movement, and leather that isn't shit. Plus I got it for under 140. I did originally look at DW but I quickly realized they were overpriced.

>>13010923

Because I don't know shit about watches, my man. Also, I did like how the Vincero is all black

>>13011026
hes kinda right desu. it looks something like instagram tier le rugged outdoorsman would wear
youre better off with boring ass seiko

>>13009201
wish watch 1....

>>13011625
wish watch 2......

>>13011056
Oh yeah I put a black leather back on the visodatw, that was in the middle of me playing around with em
And the seamaster is clean on the grey IMO, the bracelet got scratched up after a year of wearing it

>>13011638
Let the bracelet be damaged. If you dont use it is like if you dont have it. Also if you send the whole watch to Omega every 20 years or so it will come back pristine anyway.

>>13010391

Dogshit

>>13010378
i'd get the quartz

>>13011850
The co-axial is way cooler but ridiculously expensive to buy and service (and a pain in time for it too).

Y'all like orients? My favourite cheap watch

>>13011334
"Swiss"

That thing is overpriced as shit and so are most God damn minimalist watches. At least Nomos have in house movements and feature non quartz watches.

>>13011861
I prefer the low maintenance of quartz, it's cheaper to service but yes, it's not as pretty as an automatic movement

Just got this as a gift from my lady friend. Is it nice? I have no idea.

>>13011883
fuck no

>>13011883
>nixon
>nice

>>13011883

Nixon isn't well liked around here, and it's too big for your wrist. If you like it though who give a fuck what people on a Tibetan scrimshaw forum think.

>tfw no BBB
why even live /watch/?

>>13011047
True
>>13010734
You're on a fashion board, nothing is supposed to be utiliarian
>>13010015
Sure, but this doesn't really prove anything - Japan does not make luxury watches to the level of or in the amount that the Swiss do

>>13012088
One of the greatest watches of today considering price.

Wynt

>>13009840
Soviet watches. Going cheap and fast (ha-hah!, get it????)

I use a Fitbit but want to start wearing something nice instead. But I still want to have my steps tracked. Any one have advice ?

r8 my watch b8

Just bought this beauty, my first watch


>>13009201

I was gonna include a picture, but i'm a phone fag, so search: Daniel Wellington, Classic Sheffield 40mm (if u give a shit)

>>13010752
Really bad watch tbqh.

Do not recommend.

>>13011850
They don’t currently make a quartz seamaster diver

Posting goat

>>13012088
would be utter perfection with a date window

>>13012647
i think this could be the epitome of numale-reddit tier watches

>>13012696
not same anon

but whats wrong with a junghans? What about nomos? Bauhaus watches are aesthetically pleasing.

>>13012715
both junghans and nomos are very popular amongst the numale crowd for obvious reasons. look at the aesthetic - its practically dripping soy. this is the watch that will be found on the wrist of 'graphic designers' and 'career photographers'

>>13012730
>being an artist makes you numale

I understand what you're getting at though. So what would be a 'rugged man' , 'cowboy' watch?
I'd say a speedmaster or a diver

anyone here have a patek?

>>13012758
>i am a true artist anon you should witness myw ork

>>13012620
Okay, but why? (as previously mentioned I'm new to watch-faggotry)

Anyone know vintage watches? Got one that belonged to my grandfather, trying to find out more about it.

(The bottom text reads "shockabsorber")

>>13013011
Dial design looks like it could be 40s or 50s. Is itmissing the crown? You should post pictures of the caseback and of the movement.

thinking about getting a nice sport watch
nylon or plastic band, waterproof
good build that can last me a decade

any suggestions?

budget up to $1k by the way

>>13013060

Crown?

>>13013094

Built to last. Quite manly

>>13010752
Not as bad as many people think, but id go Luminox instead, much better quality for operator core.

>>13013079
If you want it analog, check Seiko 5s for mechanical automatics or Citizen Eco-Drive for solar quartzs.

Got this for Christmas, thoughts?

>>13010204
I have a triwa, the (fake) rose gold nevil with an unbranded leather band
Looks nice & get solid compliments, but I work for a company that sells nice watches & a friend of mine that really knows watches politely said it's not a real watch, take that as you will

>>13013508
Very nice watch, but too big.

>>13012088
Dive watch with suit is so tacky. Looks out of place, like trainers with a suit.

>>13013122

Not the guy you replied to, but I think I may get one until I have the money for a real watch. Seems like it would go with everything and hold up well for the price.

>>13013723
Classic, not loud colours and not too big divers are perfectly ok with suits.

>>13009718
I only buy German made, eurocuck

Mom got me this today

>>13009318
oh my god, this can't be real

>>13009201
Rate me.

Ready for work tomorrow.

>>13013723
dive watches are only non fedora watches tho

>>13014332
hug her for me

>>13011626
this 1 you can actually get if you save for few months and invest smartly

>iwn be rich enough to justify buying this

i realize this isn't on the same level as the other watches in this thread, but i'm completely new to this stuff and i'm slightly paranoid that wearing this watch would be some massive misstep that would expose my lack of watch knowledge to those around me
i just want to know if it's a womans or anything big like that, i know it's cheap

My quartz watch is losing time, I thought they weren't supposed to do that. It's been a few years since the last battery but if that was the problem wouldn't it just stop?

>>13012366
wear your watch on one wrist and your fitbit on the other wrist

>>13012116
wrong again

>>13014332
My man. Got one today as well.

Not going to keep it stock though- got a stainless coin edge bezel I'll be installing as soon as the rest of my parts come in. Lumed ceramic bezel insert, dial and hands from Yobokies, and an AR coated sapphire crystal.

Hey guys, I've got a Seiko Core and am looking for the next step up. New to the watch scene, and looking around the $600 range. Maybe something outside of Seiko.

>>13015424
truly a masterpiece

>>13015424
You can post as many japanese luxuy watches as you want. The simple truth is that Switzerland produces more and is known for luxury watches. Not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Christmas present, anyone here know much about the misota movement in it? the rotor whirring is really quite loud

Should I cop?

>>13014799
What quartz and how much time is losing? Doesnt it have EOL warning?

Change the battery and get it cleaned inside, a few bucks and you will know if its just that.

>>13016085
If you like it and want a quartz its a pretty solid watch. It can be even your only watch and you would be ok your whole life.

Probably my next purchase... i want something to put a black leather strap on for dressy or minimalistic outfits.

Whay do you think? Wouldnt be my everyday watch so i wanted something mechanical and preferably no-date.

Its about 500€ retail price; the cheapest of the options i like.

>>13014671
its just 800€ dude

what do you guys think of ulysses?

>>13010015

quite simple but nice nonetheless

>>13010378

>>13014567
nice, clean looking and professional

>>13014671
the two tone face looks odd to me

>>13014729
doesnt look womens to me but if you're worried just change up the strap to a more male-oriented one

>>13015089
way too bulky and too much going on

>>13015182
holy shit, now this is a fucking masterpiece. how much did it set you back?

>>13015424
looks very nice, but the gem-adorned bezel makes it look slightly tacky

>>13015506
looking great already, hope the new additions make it look even better

>>13016007
not a fan, but take it to the horologist, they can take a look at it for you. if not, try and see if you can open the casing without causing any damage and see if there's anything that's interfering with the mechanism

>>13016085
tissot is a decent choice, can't go wrong

>>13016152
it's good and it fits your criteria - why not? get the extra strap and switch it whenever you want to

>>13016337
poo

Just got this for Christmas wyt??

anything under $100 ?

>>13009318
you're a fucking living meme

Of what kind?

Id go Casio.

>>13015182
>>13016550

Cost me around 20K usd

thoughts

Why are /g/ watch threads so much better? Retards with Vinceros and HOMOS never post there.

>>13016650
That looks nice. I used to think fossils looked like shit but I like that model. I might cop one with a different color scheme.

>>13016876
Because there people care about technology, engineering etc. Its logical, if you think about it there is nothing worse than /fa/shion watches for the "watch community".

Here we have a lot of victims of the marketing guys that buy overpriced fashion shit watches, sneakers, clothes etc for brandwhoring.

>>13016861
Shit.

my newest addition

What do you guys think of Swatch?

Need another beater watch that isn't a Seiko 5

>>13016661
seiko 5 sport is a good choice for a good entry level automatic. good choice of aftermarket products, too, should you want to add a nicer crystal or anything.

>>13009318
you actually follow me, that's why this looked so familiar, topkek.

>>13016085
I have a prc200 chrono somewhere around my room, it's a nice watch, I've always wanted to test this out, but couldn't find one.

as far as quality goes, it's very nice, a good watch for the price, no doubt about that.

>>13017522
holy fucking clean

>>13017522
is this yellow gold/steel on a steel bracelet, or is it just the picture.

I love thunderbirds, they are very interesting and useful watches, i've been thinking more and more about getting one instead of a 116200 or 116234.

>>13009221
Please kill yourself

>>13016007
miyota movements are cheap, loud, but reliable. Unless there is any distinctly clicky noises, it should be fine. Junkers are sort of a rip off of Junghans watches with low end miyota movements in them. They look decent tho. That model has a 9100 in it which is much better than the 8xxx line of movements but still somewhat meh IMO.

>>13017197
dotn waste your money on a fossil. If you want a cheap quartz get a seiko or citizen eco drive. Japs>chinks.

A fucking Hugo Boss quartz died when I tried to replace the battery and damaged the crown when opening case back.

So fuck it I ordered a Tudor Pelagos blue. Plan to scratch and rough it up in daily wear. Did I goof bros?

>>13018298
Is it autistic that I know exactly what watches you're talking about based on model number

>>13018695
when you cant afford a sub

>>13018762
>wanting a sub

Where can i find this watch?

What other brands are worth getting besides Seiko?

>>13011786
will remember that when I'm 42, thanks

>>13018298
>>13018298

It's steel on steel with the 18kt white gold bezel, yeah the lighting is hitting it funny.

I bought it because its not a rolex i see very often. A nice cross between a sub and a date just

>>13018695
>>13018695

good choice

Found this nice mechanical seiko and now deciding between it and >>13016085
Am I right that seiko is more classical looking and won't go nice with casual clothing?

timex easy reader or kys

>>13018695
the best submariner imo

>>13018888
That seiko is a very nice wearing it now, it goes fine with casual and if you really want to you can swap out for a nato strap makes it far more comfy, and you can go brighter for more casual.

>>13017522
Never seen that kind of bezel on a datejust. What reference is this?

Reminds me of Credor a little bit.

Tried this one on in the boutique
For about $5800 it looks better than any roles I'd ever seen

>>13018944
Rolex*

>>13018944
You could get for a whole lot cheaper if you are looking second hand. Strongly recommend.
I'd even try the 36'000 bph Automatic if I were you. As much as I like the spring drive... It is basically a uber mecha-quartz.

I've had a vintage GS and it was exceptional. Now days I just have 2 4s15 SUS military (White and black dial)

>>13018988
Spring drive has almost nothing to do with a traditional superquartz movement (that would be the GS quartz obviously). Not that is has a lot in common with a traditional mechanical watch either.

But its superbly accurate, the seconds hand sweeps 100% smooth (no bph at all), ad is absolutely silent too.

It has a quartz cristal inside, but no battery at all, has a main spring but no escapement or balance wheel... pretty unique.

>>13018988

>>13019002
I know the argument... But I dunno. As cool as a seconds sweep is (And fuck me, it is cool) I still like a 'tick' just as quick as possible.

If you are solely after a Spring Drive theres also some Ananta models with it. I think they look hideous though.

You prefer the new GS logo or the old?

>>13019002
To clarify how it works, its got a main spring which strengh moves everything, but to regulate (reduce) the speed of it (keep time) instead of mecanical escapement ticking at x bph has a electronic device composed of a quartz crystal and an electromagnetic brake. The quartz crystal checks the speed of the hands and orders the brake to slow them as necesary to keep time (the brake doesnt touch anything being magnetic, so less wearing).

You might think that the electronic part us feed by a battery charged by movement as in a kinetic. But no, there is no battery. The rotor winds just the spring as in mechanical watches, and the unwinding of it moves but the hands amd the generator that feeds the electronic parts "live". No batteries to lose properties over time.

As there is no escapement ticking or quartz mechanism directly moving the hands the seconds hand sweeps 100% fluid and 100% silent.

Beautiful.

>>13019010
I was another guy :-)

If i buy a GS it would be a quartz actually. For 36000 bph id buy a Zenith.

>>13019013
No argument here. It is very very cool. But I wouldn't buy one. Thats all.

>>13013508
looks like a roulette table lol
pretty nice though

I'm looking at this Braun ceramic thing, I want to see it in person before I buy but the material looks really nice.

>>13009201

More like Shitola.

What is a good low end luxury watch?

>>13019340
You just posted one. Other must be Seiko, then there are some affordable Breitlings... an not quite luxury you have Tag Huehuehue, and some high ranges from lesser brands.

does anyone have any thoughts on this Hamilton khaki field watch? I'm thinking about buying it.

>>13019405
Classic decent entry level swiss automatic. A good buy if you are into clasical military watches.

>>13019375
How does Tudor compare to Omega as far as quality?

My poorfag watches

>>13019405
This together with the seiko skx007/9 and sarb033/35 are simply the beset entry level watches. You wont make a mistake buying this thats for sure, and any watch enthusiast can at least appreciate this Hamilton classic!

>>13019013
So it basically combines everything good about automatic with eveeything good about quartz? Well, where would you even get something like that serviced other than having to send it to Seiko themselves?
Either way though the fucking brautiful titanium case and absurdly detailed finish alone give it more worth than the Datejust for me. Now to find where I can get my hands on one without having to cough up over five G's.

>>13019002
>ad is absolutely silent too.
I dont want this
I love to hear the tick tick tick
That is what I love about my grandpas old pocket watch

how do I stop being a wristlet /fa/?

>>13009201

This legit looks like a counterfeit Weekender

>>13012647

Bauhaus is played out m8

>>13019007
why did you feel the need to timestamp that?
are we supposed to be impressed?

>>13012116
>Sure, but this doesn't really prove anything - Japan does not make luxury watches to the level of or in the amount that the Swiss do

god you are so fucking retarded

Wish I had the cash to drop on this. I can't stand watches with a dozen dials and colors, and tick marks all over. Also not a fan of nothing but a watch hand with no markings whatsoever.

I know there's a decent affordable knock off, but with a 6" wrist I have trouble finding mens watches that fit

>>13020161
rodina

>>13012116
GS finishing is better than most Swiss companies, who, let's be honest here, (especially AP and PP) have been riding on the coattails of their past for too fucking long now

Looking between Junghans, Sinn, and Stowa. All in the <1500 USD range. Any thoughts? Are any of these brands shitty?

Sinn 556 I, Max Bill, and the Flieger Klassik essentially

>>13020176
Sinn keeps all the good shit for their more expensive watches. The Flieger Klassik is on my wish list personally, and is pretty good value (so is the Sinn, its just that you're getting cucked out of their new technology, which makes me like other companies more).

the max bill is horribly overpriced imo but ultimately what you are paying for there is the name of junghans and max bill

>>13020164
I've seen that. I'm just worried the bigass flat lugs will accentuate my manlet wrists.

>>13019375
Tag Huehue doesn't match up to any of those.

>>13019496
tudor is really fucking overpriced, but the coaxial (even though they fixed it) is still a pain in the arse to get serviced.

Omega is better ultimately.

>>13020181
Thanks for the honest appraisal. This would be my first foray into a legitimate watch so I'm trying to keep it somewhat on the low end, yet versatile (hence the Bill, meme though it may be I never see it in my flyover region)

What Sinn watches wouldn't be cucking me and what tech do they offer?

>>13020199
I'd say the 556 and the klassik are about equal in feature set, but the klassik has a higher grade of ETA inside of it.

the lack of a tegimented case on the 556 (which almost all higher end Sinns have) was also pretty disappointing for me, and makes me like the flieger more.

buy what you want essentially. they are both pretty good for the money, but the flieger seems to offer more and has the history behind it on top of that

>>13020210
Plenty to consider. Thanks, lad.

>>13018747
of course not, I only talk in references with my watch friends.

>>13018850
exactly, not only is it rare, but it is also useful, congrats.

Oh, and it looks gorgeous with this black sunburst dial, under the light it comes to a almost graphite, really great contrast to the diver's bezel on it.

>>13018888
people really like the sarb, I don't personally think it is worth the price, but that's up to you.

one thing to note, the prc is 200m water resistant, screw down crown, and I bet the bracelet is of a better quality.

>>13009912
shinola is pretty hated here for shit tier reasons

i have one too and always get compliments, even from people who know their shit about watches (i.e. own ~500k worth of real watches, no babyshit whatsoever, stuff inside safes et al.)

>>13018935
16263 for two tone and 16264 for this model, steel, they are called thunderbirds or turn-o-graphs, and they actually have a really cool history, but are unfortunately forgotten today.

Actually, both of them have gold bezel, hands and markers, but anon's watch has it in white gold.

>>13019866
why would you want that? small wrists mean you can buy and wear some awesome vintages watches, and they won't cost you much.

>>13020194
Not true, you might not like the brand, but they have some well made watches.

what are we comparing them to, seiko?
All brand new tag heuers are of similiar or higher quality than most seikos (aside from grand seikos)

>>13020389
the black bay is £2500 for a top grade ETA.

I can get that in a Stowa Flieger for less than £1000.

overpriced is an understatement.

The only Tudors worth buying are the black bay chrono (good value for money) or the really vintage ones (manlets are scared of small watches)

>>13020389
also, I never mentioned seiko, but the fact that the aquaracer contains a plastic movement spacer means its instantly trash

Don't ever post that shit tier garbage watch again, OP

>>13009318
Shit tier

>>13011883
>Bad watch
>Stick wrists

Everything checks out here

>>13020193
Get a tisell. Underrated korean brand that makes good quality stuff for the price. You get a nicer miyota movement instead of a shitty seagull and proper blued-steel hands for ~$200

>>13020607
Looks really nice, dunno how I haven't seen this before. Seems to be way under the radar compared to the rodina, which I see all over. Only challenge now is finding a reputable seller.

What is the minimum I would have to spend for a watch that would be considered heirloom quality that would still be worth something in 100 years

>>13020751
No less than thousands, and likely much more ($10k+).

Because of smart watches and smart phones anyone that wears a watch is retarded and trying to win "look cool" points. There's no point in buying a normal watch in 2017 if you have a smartphone. just buy the dopest looking smartwatch you idiots

>>13020772

>smartwatch
>looking dope

retard

what is a good at< $500

Is there a decent watch infographic out there? perhaps even something with budget tiered options.

>>13020751
rolex, patek philippe, vacheron constantin, lange & sohne, audemars piguet, piaget, things like that.

Nothing less than a rolex, unless it's highly complicated and really well made, or as iconic as a omega speedmaster, blancpain fifty fathons, but i'd go for steel sports rolex or a annual calendar patek.

Any opinions on this seiko 5?

>>13020389
>>13020389
>he thinks Tag is good quality
Get
Out.
If you wanna buy an entry level lux watch, Tag is one of the worst choices.

>>13020751
you can get rolexes around the £1000 mark that will almost definitely rise in value as vintage continues to pick up now that smaller watches are fashionable again

>>13020751
Id say like 4000€ for new stuff to get something really valuable in 100 years. Only "heirloom quality" can be like ten times less easy.

Rolex Datejust Turn-o-graph Ref. 16264

>>13020355
>>13020355

thanks Anon its a great watch. I used to think Rolex was meh brand but once you own one your opinion quickly changes.

>>13020375

Would be cool to have this in my collection although I am sure it would cost a fortune.

Where's a good place to get legit vintage Omegas?

>>13022250
>>13022250

http://www.qualityvintagetimepieces.com/contact.html

website is kinda shit but they have a good selection of vintage Omega watches

>>13022250
china

>>13022250
>>13022250

Also this place is pretty good too https://watchestobuy.com/

>>13014472
Love these lol I want a tacky gold one

Interms of Tudor if you can get a vintage tudor sub or big block they're worth it. Plus their value on the vintage market keeps going up.

Just make sure you don't get one of the big blocks that says tiger on the dial they are worthless.

>>13022264
>>13022268
Thanks

What does /fa/ think of the Tissot I purchased? Got it for under 200 euros. I'm a poorfag with small wrists so I opted for a slightly mid-range quartz dress watch.

>>13022293
Looks clean, basic and nice. Nothing outstanding though. Tissot are a good entry-level into swiss watches

>>13014472
the official watch of /k/. r8 pls.

>>13022293
People with quartz watches will be the first to go on the day of the rope

>>13022316
What model is this? Kinda like it.

>>13022320
I would prefer a mechanical watch but I'm poor as fuck pham

>>13022328
I bought a seiko 5 for $50 of amazon

>>13022319
The Duro is great value.

>>13022320
>>13022320

not even this?

>>13022363
Spending $1000s on a quartz watch is 100x worse than spending $20

>>13022326
It's the everytime swissmatic. There's a quartz version too for like $200

>>13022091
Nobody? This GS is one of my grails but I'm poor as shit so I'm looking for a budget alternative

>>13022366
>>13022366

Rolex is still a Rolex

>>13022428
A quartz is still a quartz

>>13022443
> I have been effectively marketed to

>>13022479
Says the guy who thinks just being a rolex makes a watch nice

>>13022479
>I'll buy anything with Rolex on it
>I am not marketed to

>>13022443
Yeah and there is literally nothing wrong with quartz. And the Oysterquartz movement is ridiculously overengineered and designed to be serviceable and to this day it's still easily one of the best quartz movements ever. It's not exactly some 50 cent plastic Chinese fashion watch movement.

>>13022509
The varieties of quartz movements from the 70s is one of the most interesting periods in the history of watches.

>>13022443
Which is to say, more accurate than even the best mechanical watches.

This is an Omega quartz. Looks pretty bad, but is a great movement with independent hour hand setting and great performance both in its thermocompensated and regular incarnations.

And this is GS. Nothing more to be said.

Are they a meme?

>>13022629
Yes. Chinese fashion shit. At least not as expensive as Michel Kors or other designer shit rebranded chink shit, but a scam anyway.

>>13022632
What watch should I get if I want good quality but don't really care for status on /fa/?

>>13022536
Just get a digital watch then

>>13022629
They're really nice I had one a month ago before it got fucking stolen. It's a really nice watch.

>>13022383
that is glorious

>>13022653

Timed easy reader

guys I'm a /biz/raeli, what brand is chique but still not too much? like classy and still modern in its own way

>>13019340
That's a great watch. The movement is great.

>>13023139

TIMEX EASY READER

>>13020816
that one

>>13022811
I know, shame it's 6 grand out of my budget

imagine wearing a watch in 2017 lmao

>>13023514
What watch are you going to be wearing in 2018 then?

>>13023514
imagine being this much of a manchild in 2018

>>13022102
yes I do, it is well made.

I have owned a tag in the past, as I have owned several rolexes, and I have owned pateks, among several other luxury watches.

I do not consider tag heuer a luxury brand, aside from a few models, and maybe you do, that's up to you.

I see them as (especially the aquaracers) well made tool watches for affordable prices, I don't buy a watch because it is "luxury'', I buy it either because it serves me a purpose, or because I like it's design/complication/history.

>>13022293
Very nice, congrats.

>>13022242
Yeah...
Maybe 20-25 years ago, you would be able to get it for a "fair" price..........

Nowadays?
vinatge rolex prices are insane, I'm wondering when the bubble is going to burst.

>>13022235
Yeah, it's ok, some people have that impression, I used to think exactly the same about the seiko skx until I bought my 009, I sold it to a friend, not really my thing, but I have to agree it is a nice watch..

>>13022443
I'm sorry you think this way, and I am really glad I don't take horology advice from you.

>>13023898

I'm also waiting for the vintage rolex bubble to burst.

Is the Invicta diver a good watch? It looks nice for the price but is a "watch guy" going to see it and call me out on it?

>>13015211
>intentionally autistic
>surprised when people tell him to kill himself

>>13023977

he’s going to instantly sniff out that you didn’t buy a timex easy reader, and that you are gay

>>13020169
>(especially AP and PP) have been riding on the coattails of their past for too fucking long now
Ask me how I know you've never even seen either of those in real life
>>13020003
Still nobody can prove me wrong, I can't even understand why this is an argument. Moron

>>13011039
I like them all but wouldn't use nato on any of them.

>>13022363
This is beautiful design.

>>13017764
Overpriced plastic shite

>>13023977
It's nice for the price, but it's basically a Rolex Submariner replica with a different logo.

Thoughts on MVMT watches?

>>13024755
5$ chinese crap, bought one when I had no knowledge about watches

>>13024208
That's funny I had my grampys easyreader for years and loved it. Sadly I lost it a while ago.

Watch check.

>>13025143
Vintage seamasters will always be superior

>>13025231
I'll do you one better

>>13025231
Not for actually working.

>>13025247
My dad has a 1960's 18ct gold constellation without the date window (like pic), can't fucking wait to inherit it

Just ordered this, thoughts /fa/?

>>13025436
Well done.

I just bought this, rate?

>>13025312

>>13025482

it won’t get stolen in the mail

>>13015903
Not the guy you replied to..

You said(if you're the same anon):

>how can anyone buy a not swiss made watch unless you're poor

Implying only switzerland can make a luxury watch, so anon posted an expensive japanese luxury watch proving that other countries can also produce them.

>>13025436
Should have gone for a Vostok, friend

>>13025482
why

>>13025655
limousine is nice, might pick it up soon

>>13025678
didn't add an image aaaaaaaaaa

Got this a year ago. Thoughts?

>>13025655
>why
Why not? I think it looks good, it's Swiss, it's automatic. What's particularly wrong with it?

Y/N?

>>13025795
Y

But wrist fedora also.

>>13024594
>>13024594

I feel like every watch collection should have one quartz model. This is probably the one I would choose.

>>13025894
>But wrist fedora also.
A wrist fedora would be a random, clunky '70s quartz with squared off edges and a coloured dial that was bought at a flea market.

>>13022091
affordable, decent quality. if you like like it, buy it

>>13022363

My man

>>13009221
fucking kek

just picked this up, what do you guys think?

>>13027399

are you colourblind

>>13027441
yes? i actually am.

>>13027442

then I have some bad news about the bad watch that you have bought

the news is: the watch is garish and ugly

>>13026509
Thats what you think.

>>13009305
lold
I've honestly thought its weekender

>>13027605
cost me like twenty bucks on ebay. The only downside is that it ticks like a jet

>>13027586
considering blue one. Is it good?

>>13018792
kekd at the picture

>>13022319
brother

>>13027142
Is that Goebbels?

>>13027625
Pretty great watch for the price for sure. In blue or black it could be easy your only watch and keep you happy for life.

Go for it.

>>13027675
already own it. Just showing off. At the moment on the brown suede strap.

>>13027691
It's too big, bla bla. I know it, but perspective makes is worse than it is

>>13027693
Its too big. But considering the flieger inspired design you can pull it off.

>>13027699
that what you get when ordering watches from the internet 43mm looks much bigger on bezel-less watch then on diver.But the lugs aren't longer then my wrist and the fist is comfortable so I've kept them
