Thoughts?

>>13092280
I like it!

>>13092280
A good looking piece.

>>13092280
Buy it now while you can, the horz teak ones are not nearly as good quality wise.

>>13092221
The eta versions were good, the in house ones are omega-grade too thick to be a daily wear.

>>13092350

Yep, definitely why I picked the ETA.

>>13092319
Can't go wrong.

>>13092462
Put it in the bin. Piece of shit.

>>13092013
Hey guys, I typically dress in the Saint Laurent aesthetic, and I might be interested in buying a nice watch, what recommendations might you have?

>>13092483
vintage omega dress watch

>>13092483
Vintage: Omega Seamaster, Omega Geneve. Good examples of both can be had for under $1k

New: Junghans Max Bill Quartz can be had for under $500 or Nomos Club/Orion for 1.2-1.5k.

is this a good deal?

>>13092601
Don't do

Thoughts? It's gonna be my daily driver until I save up for a Sub

>>13092933

it's fine, although quite a big bigger than a sub

>>13092476

I don't get it why is everybody into divers? Like you are "respecting the heritage" of diving in your fucking office papers with a heavy shit around your wrist? They are and look the same! What is even the fucking point? That fucking useless bezel to countdown to another suicide postponed only by yet another desire to get the same watch with the same bezel from another shit overpriced manufacturer. A fucking mechanic meme like some cave amish "ruspuctung mein herritaeghe". Is every diver watch junkie into riding horses and marrying their cousins for tradition?

>>13093278
They're functional, look cool, easily readable, are relatively cheap, and are durable.

>>13092462

Nice. I wear pic related. Casio is dope. Don't have to worry about the batteries any time soon either.

>>13092013
Favre-Leuba Lavina ; Sicura Submarine ; Bulova Accutron and ZentRa Automatic

Thoughts ?

>>13093414

all are interesting but particularly like far right and far left. good collection anon.

>>13092933
A good solid watch.

>>13093414
The sicura is rad.

>>13093436
The Fabre-Leuba is my favorite.
I have 4 more vintage watches

Are watches even effay?

>>13093278
such a bitter poorfag

>>13093278
I don't understand either. I'm a diver and I don't wear one, much less wear one on land

>>13093534
Only certain brands but definitely not seikos

>>13092601
good investment, those things last for years

>>13093944

an investment is something that's expected to return dividends or increase in value. that was a purchase and not an investment

What does /fa/ think of leather straps?

>>13093950
Or something that will have a value from years to come, not only monetary value, you econ-brainlet

>>13092013
>looks like a rolex

It's alright.

I'm not for it.

>>13093414
They look cheap as fuck. But I'm a Swiss fag so I guess I'm used to very high standard.

>>13094413
Patrician. Anything else is heresy.

Pic is mine

How do I clean this?

>>13094474
If that's blood stain then grab soft toothbrush and WD-40. This cleaned my car after bumping into deer.

>>13094414

nope, that's a purchase.

>>13094480
Sure it was a deer..

Meh. Don't get the quartz version. Co-Axial is the way to go.

>>13092601
>120$
Kek, don't fucking do it. You can get them new for like 15$ off eBay.
Also my daily wearers.

And for those wondering, yes this is indeed a Waltham 25 Jewels as worn by Dexter Morgan.

My grails in the collection.

Thoughts on this? Thinking of getting this as my first mechanical watch. Worth £40? It's a Luch with a Poljot 2209 movement.

>>13094594

>not able to discern levels of quality
>good tier is not God tier kid

>>13094604
This bro know what it's about. Very nice pieces. The classic and the officer. That's some real quality.
Did you buyed them at an auction ?

>>13094604
cheap looking and boring wanked by old farts

>>13094633
>he's still being a swatch cuck

Finally got the strap. Its the second one Im getting from BOB and hoky shit it has to be the less flexible strap ive seen. It looks nice but the cunts gonna take a week to break in

This might not be the thread for this, but just I got a new phone and I can choose between getting a free gear s3 smartwatch or tablet. Im leaning towards the watch because I already have an iPad.

You guys are the gurus for watch fashion- so is it possible to dress one of these up with a different band? They only have the "frontier" sporty one, not the classic which looked more classy to me. Is it worth it or should I go with the tablet?

>>13094633
Not at auction, but they are second hand. The Calatrava has always been appealing to me.

>>13094795
Alternate view so you can see the strap. Sorry again if it's the wrong thread, didn't see any tech fashion thread so

>>13094795
>>13094804
I would love a Samsung Gear S3. However at 46 mm my wrists are simply too small.
However if you have the wrists to carry it I'd definitely go towards the smart watch. I agree the S3 Classic would be better but if that's the only option definitely get the S3.

>>13092601
that watch is 14 dollars brand new on amaon.

>>13092221
a teeeeeewwwwwwwwwder. I hope you only got one tewder.

>>13092462
Got mine on right now.

>>13094602
no one was wondering you giant faggot

>>13092013

I think that watch looks quite good with that black sweater sleeve and white skin.

WHOUA ! Checkout the new nutnfancy watch review ! He's such a connoisseur !

Can any watchlad in tell me about IWC?

My brother has just dropped £8k on 2 of their watches, he knows nothing about watches.

Will they hold some value and are they worth the money?

Soviet watch I bought from a fellow anon on grained

>>13094609
I like it.

>>13094747
Is that real crocodile or just embossed cow leather?

>>13094464
I actually love look of this Seiko >>13094464

>>13093278
It's a combination of versatility and value. There are a lot of good auto divers at the low end of the market (<$200 or so), and divers can be worn with a huge variety of straps and fit with just about any kind of mainstream clothing, unless it's super-formal. My first auto was an SKX and I think it was a great starting point that really let me experiment with straps and the like.

I’m looking to get rid of my Smartwatch. I’m looking for something cheap, 300 or less that’s a good all around watch until I get some others. Any recs?

Here's mine again. Guess I'll r8 some this time. I rate based on whether I would wear it myself and what I'd wear it with, so my answers may be pretty tilted.

>>13092013
8/10. Love Sinn, but that's not the model I'd choose. (I really like the ones that look like the cockpit clock from a Bf109 or something.)

>>13092221
7/10, Tudor has been growing on me lately. Not what I'd buy for the money, though.

>>13092280
5/10, too expensive for a quartz. The auto would be great, but it costs twice as much. If you want a similar watch for a similar price, but automatic, you could check out Ball's Red Label models.

>>13092319
7/10, great watch but I'd go with one of the less chunky variants.

>>13092462
1/10, that meme has been done to death.

>>13092933
6/10, solid watch but I'm not into the styling. I'd get it in blue if I had to pick one from the lineup.

>>13093414
Interesting pieces but I find it hard to imagine wearing them in 2018. The ZentRa might be nice on leather.

>>13094464
4/10. It pains me to say that about a Blancpain, but I hate those roman numerals for some reason. It would instantly gain 3-4 points without them.

>>13094550
1/10, trashy fashion watch.

>>13094591
Omega is a 7/10. The rest are either meh or meme.

>>13094604
Left is 5/10, right is 8/10. I'm trying really hard not to let the Patek name get to me.

>>13094747
5/10, but I think it'd be a 7/10 on brown leather. (Unless it just looks gold in the photo and is actually silver, in which case black is fine.)

>>13094935
6/10 for the Orient. The blue is beautiful but I find it hard to imagine pulling it off.

>>13095470
3/10, the Soviet quirkiness factor just doesn't make up for how cheap it looks. The 24hr dial is kinda cool I guess.

>>13095693
Seiko SKX, Orient Mako or Ray are popular watchfag choices in in that price range.

R8

>>13095693
Orient mako 2

The of mako was a deal but now the 2 has a whole slew of upgrades better crystal/case and upgrades to the movement.

>>13095772
not bad, but mix it up a bit with the straps. the middle three would probably look better on bracelets than nato straps

>>13095763
>>13095788
Thanks guys, looks good and great price

Kinda liking it on the cheap velcro strap at the minute.

Haven't taken a collection pic in forever, so I figured I'd snap one. I'm gradually pushing the crappy quartzes out. The Ball is my most recent acquisition and it's been on my wrist almost every day since I bought it in July, not sure where to go next.

>>13094464
God you're such an insufferable cunt

>>13096027
Nice Wengers and Ball Engineering.
How do you like the Ball? I've considered one before.

>>13093709
Seikos at automatically effay since they’re japanese. Cuck soyboys brands like DW or MVMT are not effay.

>>13094474
Is this Nicole Simpson's watch?

>>13095772
2/10- Sorry man, not a fan. I would sell them all and get 1 or 2 better quality watches.

>>13094550
This is horrible. Soz dude.

>>13094474
Put it in the kettle and boil the water, works wonders

>>13094464
Yawn, obviously got a cheap deal or given that blancpain seeing as no person would actually buy that model over something like the fifty fathoms who actually knows anything about watches. (thats for insulting my tudor)
>>13095916
Haven't seen anyone where it on that before. Looks cool.

>>13096027
The SKX and Ball are cool.

>>13095470
Cool in concept, poor in reality.

>>13094935
If only the Bambino was 38mm.

>>13094609
Sure its ok for the money, but the more you get into watches the less you are going to like it.

>>13094602
The dial is cool, the hands are cool, the case shape is average and I am sure the bracelet is crappy. Not sure on this one.

King Seiko Chronometer.

Thoughts on the Orient Capital?

>>13096636
the hands are all too short

>>13096636
Hands are too short, what diameter is it?

>>13096678
40.5 millimeter

>>13096689
too big for a dress watch desu unless you have huge wrists

>>13096692
I have small wrists but I thought 40 mm was pretty standard for men's watches these days? Tissot Visodate is 40 mm. Very similar style but much more expensive.
https://www.amazon.com/Tissot-TIST0194301603101-Heritage-Stainless-Automatic/dp/B0041Q44T2/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel

>>13096703
The Visodate is beautiful, but it has really long lugs, so unless you have a flat wrist it looks quite large.

Generally a dress watch looks better around the 38mm mark.

This sizing is definitely still a fad.

Sports watches will end up going back to 40-42mm at the most, dress watches are going back to 36-39mm.

>>13096503
>This is horrible. Soz dude.

Didn't think anyone would mention it but yeah I'm here.

>>13096503
Well you're just butthurt. I can dislike your Seiko and you can dislike my Blancpain. No worries buddy. I wasn't able to even understand your point btw

>>13095763
wtf

>>13095535
Is that the one where I was greentexting? It really doesn't look the same in person. It's alright. The bulky look obviously doesn't appeal to me.

>>13095470
Why not ? The prints got a slight cheap look but originality makes up for it.

>>13095464
Excellent quality. Cheap ones like the ones you brother buyed are probably not going to greatly hold value. It's the price for the cheapest IWC watches right ?

So they'll hold better than random cheap shit.
And yes I'll say their worth the money.

>>13094935
Pretty
Why are you putting them on cleaning paper ?

>>13094798
I see, they're beautiful. I really appreciate Patek

Thoughts on smart watches? Thinking of getting one, or should I wait till the techology gets better

What is the watch in this image?

>>13097832
Junghans

What's better, domed or flat crystal?

Obaku

>>13098179
Is it you flavor flav?

>>13092221
I've been wanting a Tooter Black Bay for a while, any comments on it? Any buyers remorse? I've saved up about 2/3rds of the MSRP price.

>>13094602
If you wanted to buy a meme watch with murder implications, why not a Zodiac? This watch (sea wolf) was allegedly the inspiration for the Zodiac killer's symbol and name

>>13095470
That watch is a standard 12 hour movement that's been modified and had a reproduction face put on it to appeal to modern hipsters. Congratulations on paying grailed prices for something you could have gotten for $30 from a Ukrainian on ebay

>>13094550
fuck, what time is it?

>>13097832
Junghans Max Bill

>>13098138
Completely depends on preference. For an every day crystal, flat is much better as you are less likely to knock it against something.

>>13098192
Man. These Casio meme watches need to be thrown in a huge tip.

>>13098205
I don't actually mind these. Would be interested to see a brighter wrist shot.

>>13098258
Absolutely none. You will get idiots saying it is a fake Rolex, but my advice would be to buy the ETA version over the in-house movement version. It is not as thick and wears much better. It also has a much nicer bracelet. Enjoy

>>13098327

>>13098366
When taking a wrist shot you should take it standing up with wrist at waist height, hard to see how it wears on your wrist otherwise

>>13092013
what is a nice (luxurious) watch to buy?
or are watches something you absolytely have to read and know about to decide what to buy?

>>13098497
What is your budget?

You don't HAVE to know lots about watches to buy a nice watch. But you could definitely get burnt if you are not careful.

Depending on your budget, a 'nicer' good quality watch should be.

Give me your budget, what sort of style you like etc and we can go from there.

>>13098497

Depends what your budget is. There are both great and shit watches in every price range

>>13098497
Honestly this for $150 that someone linked above is killing it.

commie chink watch

>>13092013
your watch says you are an office worker hoping for an advancement soon and you give rando blow jobs in the office stall on wed, thurs, and friday.

>>13098875
Incorrect, Co-own a construction company so take your insecurities elsewhere peasant

>>13098666

Not a very fashionable watch -I own one almost identical. I only wear mine because it has a duel movement in it and I more than likely will never have to replace the battery.

>>13098666

If these were are little bigger I would pick one up for a beater and change the strap. But 34mm is to small for a tool watch.

Picked it up a little while ago; for the price, I'm quite pleased. I'm a sucker for Roman numerals.

Orient Captial 2 in the rose w/dark brown leather.

>>13098975
Others in the thread said it's too big for a dress watch. What do you think? Do you have big wrists?

>>13099011

I think it fits rather well. I don't have gigantic gorilla wrists; pretty average. I have a good 1/2 inch from the tips of the lugs on either side. The dress size is something that changes periodically, so I wouldn't take it too seriously; especially when the size difference is so close as it is. Slight dome looks rockin' as well.

>>13098909
On the contrary it's perfect. Robust yet not clunky.

>>13098887
Go on... What make and model?

>>13098526

Not who you replied to but lets say i wanted a nice simple watch such as

>>13098975
>>13097224 (on the left)
>>13096636
>>13096505

What brands would you suggest?

Budget would be no more than 250-300USD absolute max. i'm poor

>>13099080

Man, you could get some killer watches for 300 USD. You want something with a little class, a little horological integrity. For 300 bux you could easy get 1-3 simple or Bauhaus-esque watches.

Orient has the stupidest commercials.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHTBVEzkOR8

>>13099097

Which is too bad, because most of their watches are actually quite nice.

>>13094804
What watch is that?

>>13099089

I want something versatile where it can be an everyday watch and a nice "going out" watch. Do those fit the bill?

>>13099180

Further questions are needed.

How simple are we talking? Traditionally Bauhaus designed watches have no numbers, only hashes or indicators and are a mono-dial.

Do you feel the compulsion to have day, month, year, moon phase, polar direction, separate 24 hour dials or any other clutter on the dial?

Do you want numbers, roman numerals, or some other eccentric thing?

What preferred material do you like? Golds, silvers, colours, etc.

>>13099180
Check out Junghans

>>13099207

Excellent recommendation.

>>13099190

>>13099080
refer to this post for terms of style, i like the simple design with a leather strap

Dont care about anything like that, the simpler the better because it's not really going to be used for anything other than telling the time and improve my overall appearance. I dont mind on the numbering either, as long as it flows nicely it can be roman, normal numbers or no numbers and just lines to indicate 3/6/9/12

I think silver would look best but i'm honestly not sure, i have pretty tanned skin and i like wearing white a lot so what do you think goes best with that?

Also no electrical stuff, i fucking hate that

>>13096027

Why do people feel the need to fill their shit box with a bunch of garbage? All the money wasted here could combine to get a decent Omega, Breitling or legit Seiko like Marinemaster. I don't understand the thought process where you're happier different cheap garbage everyday than wearing one or two respectable and valuable watch.

>but muh beater

You don't need 8 fucking beaters. They're all trash right now. Let me guess you're thinking about a fucking Squale for next "investment".

>>13099227

SKX is literally under $200

>entry level luxury

If $200 anything is remotely close to definition of luxury to you I can't imagine what type of third world country poverty shit you live in.

>>13099227

>>13099089
got a link, my negro?

>>13099331
I would've said that was the Ball.

>>13099407
Because it's not like people go out one day and buy two grand worth of shitty watches. It's years of impulse buying shit here and there, and a bit of gifts from family or whatever. I have zero regrets about the Ball, but sure, I'd love to have the rest of the money back to put toward something nice, though there's a lot less there than you probably think.

Also, a decent Omega is exactly what I set out to buy when I ended up with the Ball - after a week of trawling shops in Japan I realized that I liked it more than any used Omega I'd found within my $2k or so budget and it had the benefit of being brand new and less expensive than even a ratty Seamaster without giving anything up compared to a nice one.

I'm not sure what will be next, but it sure as hell won't be some piece of bullshit - like I said, I'm trying to get rid of the shitty watches, not accumulate more of them. I've been dreaming of a Speedmaster for years but lately I'm thinking it might be an Explorer. Whatever I buy, it won't be an "investment" of any sort, I buy shit to use it and not baby it for resale value.

>>13099563

What Ball do you have? What strap?

>>13097492
>Why are you putting them on cleaning paper ?

Call me autistic but Ive noticed the back of my bambino has scratches (even the fucking crystal too, and I have it since like 3 months), don't want that to happen on the cocktail time.
