This guy just doesn't look Italian. Do you think it is a lie? He claims to be descended from aristocracy but lives in an apartment in New Jersey.

>>13196806
He's clearly living a lie but the brand that he built up around himself is hilarious.

I saw some early vids after watching the Charlie Luxury vids as a laugh. The Urban Gent fellow would talk about having his most expensive watches in a safe in another country. Meanwhile he's wearing some less expensive watches and reviewig Orient and Squale stuff.

Not the worst and I don't hold it against him but he should have gone full tilt like Charlie or not bothered. Then again Charlie went off his rocker too.

>>13196806
I though he was supposed to be a Britbong/Italian mix.

>>13197138
>Charlie Luxury
It was kind of refreshing to have someone that actually owns and is knowledgeable about luxury timepieces tell it like it is. The swearing was too much though.

The Urban Gent does very comfy videos but it would be better if he stepped up his watch game and got into some more obscure but high end watches?

>>13196806
>>13197159
I tend to believe it. Having aristocratic ancestry doesnt mean money necesarily.

Also the pocket watch he showed as inherited was pretty consistent with the story. Also his trips to the UK look consistent, although a bit cliche (Jermin Street, Fortnum & Mason...).

Who cares anyway.

It's funny seeing an unnatractive man with probably not much money in a past life try and cash in on his family heritage and present this 'classy powerful gentleman' image that would make him a laughing stock among actual rich and powerful people for whom a Rolex is just a watch.

>>13197340

All true, some of the videos where he tones it down a little are extremely informative as he actually owns the timpieces of which he is speaking. He genuinely does know a great deal from experience with top tier gear.

Seriously though, the guy does comfy videos and is very likeable. You just can't do multiple videos where you make a point of saying it isn't done to talk about one's aristocratic ancestry. Either go full tilt with it or don't bother?

Why the fuck do you wear a watch? It's 2018—you have a phone for God's sake.

>>13198126
The SKX023 is a discontinued model, but Filipino sellers on eBay seem to heave a steady supply of used/refurbished ones. That's where I got mine.

He comes across as incredibly phony. I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of the things that he says about himself in his vids are just made up. Like it seems totally likely that he doesn't even have a wife. Didn't he do a video once where he reviewed his "wife's collection," and it was just a bunch of men's watches, some of which were featured in some of his previous videos where he said they were his own?

>>13197720

>>13204916
Thinking about buying one of these. Did you just buy it off ebay from one of those Russian sellers? Was it easy to modify at home? How does it run?

>>13205539
I bought the watch from meranom, seiko bezel off ebay, and eulit perlon strap on amazon. it can be bitch to get the original bezel off without damaging the finish so you'll need a bezel tool off amazon. My first 420 was 30-40 seconds off, the last two 710s including the one in the pic were about 6-8 seconds off I believe.

Does anybody know a watch like this for less than $250? Love this watch and this brand but not ready to drop $1,400 yet.

One thing I love about it is the slim bezel.

What watch should I get with a roughly $200 budget?

>>13207849
Orient Bambino. There are four different generations to choose from and you'll have money left over to get a better strap.

>>13207849
get a field watch. lots of options in that price range.
it's a timeless style and you can wear it in all settings other than formal.

Is Caterpillar known to make good watches?

What do u guys think of Slow watches specifically Slow Jo

>>13211540
Alternate

>>13211544
Also considering Luch single hand but would prefer 24hr. Feel like 12 hour is kind of half-assing the concept. If anyone has other recommendations of single hand 24 hour watches please post.

>not wearing an OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MAN ON THE FUCKIN MOOOON

>>13211540
How do I use this?

>>13211717
Each division between numbers is 15 minutes so it gives you a rough estimate of the time. If you have an incredibly busy and strict schedule this may not be for you but even then all you need to know is usually 15 minute intervals, maybe 5 at the most.

>>13201476
Did you die?

Unironically this.

My gf got it me for a birthday, and I wear it every day to work. My other watch is a Timex Weekender, and I only have the two. I used to have a Seiko, can't remember the model, but it was discontinued years ago, and there are no replacement parts to fix it, so I got rid of it.

How many watches did you have to adjust one hour forward today?

>>13215165
It's not til 25th March here in the UK so I still got 2 weeks.

You had me worried there.

Depends on your lifestyle and budget. As a general thing start with a Casio, Seiko, Citizen or Orient with specs and price that suit you.

>>13196806
He actually is a massive liar, that doesn't mean he isn't from a Italian/brit family, I wouldn't even doubt that his famiy had money in the past, but much of what he says is bullshit, he is not very knowledgeable when it comes to watches, but he made himself a big audience.

Still, he's a fucking shady guy, everyone knows, ask archie, federico iossa or many of the "friends" he had, people he banned from his facebook group from no reason whatsoever, the fakes he made to stalk people, the fakes he created on youtube to talk shit to other guys, the gifts he sold, the brands he deals with (notoriously, squale and dan henry), wich, while not necessarily bad, gave him free stuff for better reviews, and everyone knows it.

He claims to be someone too important, have too much money or heritage, it's not true at all, I know many people inside the community, including some of his friends, I've got to experience some of his bullshit during the years, so yea.

I don't hate him, he does his thing, I'm not into creating content for the internet, so what I'm saying doesn't have anything personal about, but I know way more than him about the matter, people that don't know any better will prey upon him, and that's to be expected seeing the image he made for himself.

But yea, his way of presenting himself is cringey, pathetic, I would say.

It's life.

>>13195000

Whats is it with watches that attract such fuking ville people? I mean all monkeys on youtube except for that 80 year old guy that talk about watches are absolute twats and they also look like total shit and their life is in the shitter.

I mean I also watched some fragrance youtubers and while leaving aside some exceptions, they look like sane normally adjusted people.

Is it that watches are asociated with rich people so it draws these narcisistic idiots who have nothing other in their life?

> used to obsessed with seiko

> Insurance forced us to get fitbits to maintain reasonable rate (well technically not forced but hey we're raising your rate, but if you do this program we'll discount you back to old rate)

> Actually like the fit bit shit looks like a bracelet but tells more accurate time than even the nicest Patek.

Wakes me up, logs to Strava, auto day light savings time

And they're cheap.

The nicest fit bit is still like half the price of a mainline seiko

I hate smart watches on men still

The pink squares and frilly bands look really feminine or look really young on men

>>13219881

Hasn't he mentioned that he used to "produce hip hop music". His videos are well put together and all. Again, likable enough in his videos and I have a favourable opinion but if someone told me his real name is Lenny and he is a single guy that works as a janitor I wouldn't be surprised.

Frederico seems to have tons of watches but knows enough to be ashamed of it. He definitely gets slapped around by his mother.

I hope Archie gets his shit together and really takes his game to the next level with a factory tour or some really quality videos on what is what. I don't care for Orient, Seiko or Squale but would consider Archie / Paul's opinion on a Rolex or Omega.

I think you're mostly off base. There are rich dicks just like anywhere but fucking everyone loves stuff like Seikos, Orients, Vostoks, G Shocks, Timex, and which can be had easily for 30-150 dollars. Cool but authentic weird stuff for collector's like the one-handed Belarusian Luch watch or a vintage mechanical timex marlin can be had for less than 60 bucks.

As for the youtubers, it definitely attracts a certain type. I really dislike the Theo and Harris guy, The Urban Gentry surprised me, he dresses like an obnoxious guido twat but his opinions and reviews are actually pretty down to earth

Don’t see the appeal of those Junghans watches, they are indeed the most basic bitch watches in existence. They lack any kind of charm, they are simply boring. That Max Bill Chronograph is just a white dinner plate you can wear in your wrist and that tells you the time of you make some effort to see its hands.
Max Bill was the worst and most overrated designer to have ever come out of the Bauhaus design school. And I say this as a German myself.

>>13229489
the one on the right gran

>>13229316
unironically the best/most practical watch i own.

wow lad

>>13229316
>F91W on leather

where is your god now, /fa/?

Would you buy this vintage omega for 140 bucks?

>>13230650

Or this.

>>13230650
>>13230653

Based on looks? First one. Don't know if thats just rust or patina near the 6 marker, but it looks.....I don't know, like it has more character? Or that the other one just looks too new to me.

...wait, does the second one come from India?

>>13230669

No, are from Argentina. The second haves a redial.

>>13230669

Ah, I don't see an issue then. Not sure what's going on with the movement though.

Okay, so pic related, I'm venturing towards picking up my first automatic. Everything in my collection ranges from both quartz to G-Shock, with the exception of an auto. After this, I kind of want to take a break from buying any other watches, so I'm hoping this is the be-all-for-end-all. I'm just looking for something that can be casual with something like a NATO strap, but can also be dressed up with a leather strap. The reason why I can't choose between blue and green is because I feel that green matches the watch itself better, but blue would be a lot easier to pair my clothes with.

What would you choose?

>>13230650
dont buy a redial

>>13230744


It's not for selling, It's for me. I want my first Omega.

Why not buying a redial?

>>13226611
looks good, where did you get the bezel?

>>13230746
because it would be the equivalent of someone buying an article of clothing thats been patched up. it's not the same./

take >>13228855 advice

tiny gold watches only look good on chicks. you can keep wearing it if you want but it's a chick watch.

Love it

>>13230770
Just for you I’m going to make another Tristano thread.

Looking for a decent Milsub homage. Should I go for a Squale 1545 or Steinhart OVM?

I'm leaning towards the latter because it's cheaper and has a cleaner-looking dial (not really a fan of date windows), but I've heard they wear super large. This might be a problem because I've got girly little wrists.

i got drunk last night and ordered a fucking bagelsport. jesus christ.

>>13231596
Still better value than ordering a pajeet filippe.
You should thank the drunk you.

>>13231596
Bagelsport is one hell of a name. Makes me picture a stereotypical jew playing basketball.

Post more TGV

>>13231926
What does "TGV" stand for anyway?
I get that the dude's first name is supposed to be Tristano, but what about "GV"? George Vine? Giuseppe Vanotti? Guido Vagina? Got Viagra? Garish Virgin?

>>13230839
would look pretty good. I had the same watch but later sold it, it was just too big for my wrist. Still hands down the best value for looks on the market for a dive watch tho

>>13231313
I'd lean towards Squale since i've heard of a lot of QC issues with Steinhart.

>>13231596
i've made way worst drunk purchases, that looks pretty decent to be honest

Britfag going to New York next month. What are some good shops for affordable vintage watches? Might be after something Military, as they don't tend to show up over here so often.

>>13231978
Alright anon, that closes it, I'll get it on my next paycheck, thanks!

>>13232154
The Garish Virgin it is.

I forgot if Arnie wore a watch in this movie and clicked to check.

>>13230742
blue is alot more versatile

Just ordered this automatic watch. It's arriving tomorrow.

>>13231434
>>13231454
I should check the DW shop in Oslo.

Do you know if it’s possible to pop a custom date wheel into a Seiko SNK? I kind of want to have a kanji day wheel on mine.

>>13195054
How's battery life

I need help. Could someone point me to an under 40mm case, extremely accurate automatic mechanical watch with a very minimalist design and nice big luminous numbers and a crystal dome with the minute numbers as well as hour numbers which is under 1000 dollars, or under 2000 if it's really worth that jump? A Your help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I am hoping to only need 1 really nice watch for my everyday carry, as well as any occasion. I am not a "watch collector" so to speak. Your help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Here's a question...

Are there any watches that look pretty much exactly like this? With everything just kind of exposed? Not a watchfag so I don't know any of the terminology

>>13231449
FUCKING HELL, served in gaza (am Israeli), my whole squad got the same watch, you just made me tear up a bit

>>13234099
That’s not the watch itself. Those are just the date wheels that sit under the dial and are only visible through the date window.

>>13225409
i found a cheap woven nylon one on amazon for this (mine has red dial), nato style
the buckle was garbage so I replaced it with the Seiko hardware, just need some krazy glue

>>13234211
>Rolex anything for $2000
For $2000 maybe you could get a Domino's Pizza Air-King that's been put through a meat grinder and comes without the bracelet. Vintage Rolex collectors are mentally ill.

>>13234226
no, i meant the MKII
they're nice, but i always thought they were kinda overpriced

Stowa Flieger Klassik 40 Baumuster B vs Victorinox Airboss 241507 Mechanical?

I opted for the Airboss because it seemed like the best value. The Flieger is stunningly gorgeous, absolutely the only watch I would want to buy after the Victorinox, but I wanted to get a watch that could arrive to me by tomorrow, because every single one of my shitty battery watches is out of power. I made the step into mechanical watches and pulled an all nighter researching different watches starting yesterday afternoon.

They both MSRP at around 1000, and it seemed like the Airboss was discounted by half at around 530 dollars. I appears very good quality and very utilitarian, which is what I want. I want something which is in no way bling. I have always dug the aviator look, ever since I was a little kid. I have a plaid bomber hat, a nice Filson Field jacket, leather shoes. The Flieger, and to a lesser extent the victorinox have the air old WWII memorabilia you would find in your grandfather's trunk, which were beautiful and extremely utilitarian. It's one of the most unique combinations of understated style, and rugged utility, which are my two favorite combinations.

What do you think of this choice though? It seems like I'm getting something which is probably the same quality for half the price, without the grandfather's WWII memorabilia feeling to it. It seems like a good deal to me. I'm sure that they're both in par in terms of which is the most precision time piece, which is also very important to me.

I am just dying for the next two weeks when I'll have enough money in my checking account to get the Stowa. The Airboss is getting to me tomorrow if this company I bought from would just ship it already. I do plan on getting it as soon as possible. It would take two weeks to get here from Germany and I need a watch for school in the mean time. I'm dying of impatience.

>>13197942
wait a minute, that watch

>>13234027

Completely possible and not even that hard aside from getting the second hand back on. Fuck the second hand

>>13234349

Bro Stowas are unfuckwithable. The Victorinox is fine but the Stowa is a serious watch
