Redpill me on Rolex.

Ironic or unironic meme?

>>13528885
>*raises pig foot

>>13530545
Quite the meme if its the submariner you're talking about. Normies will be fooled with literally any other diver.

>>13530545

Extremely well engineered, long lasting, and reputable watches.

One of the few large companies in the world that still makes products "made to last", like your boomer dad tells you stuff used to be like.

Are Seiko 5's a waste of money? I saw a few on Amazon for $65. I figure anything would look better than my scratched up Pebble.

>>13530549
Like that Japanese psyko diver 007

>>13530545
Rolex make exceptionally precise and reliable watch movements in a way that easily stomps watches 5x or 10x their price. That said, watches in the 5x or 10x price range aren't really about precision or reliability so much as they are about complications and hand finishing. Rolex styling is very conservative and in some senses basic. They have a reputation as a watch people buy tastelessly as a status symbol, which is true, but they remain exceptionally good watches nonetheless.

Posting my bad watch I guess.

So I've never seen anyone use Allan deviation to meausre the stability of a mechanical oscillator, but I wonder if it wouldn't be useful. Obviously the long-term stability in mainspring watches will be very poor as the power winds down, but what kind of stability would be expected in the short-term? I assume you'd want to use full oscillations rather than half oscillations, since otherwise the beat error will dominate.

>>13530564
I don’t know why it reminds me of a Christian watch.

Wrist check. Wearing my 17 year old Rolex. Still never serviced and running only a few seconds off per day.

>>13530562
>conservative design

Then explain these gay ass colors for "men's" watches.

>>13530567
First tiem I see a white one.
Really impressive good for you.

>>13530568
Red wine is really manly, fella.

>>13530568
you act like this is the only color available

>>13530568
I've read the 39mm OPs described as millennials killing Rolex. I think your concern is perhaps overwrought, however.

>>13530568
If you don't like the grape dial you're a faggot.

Sorry.

>>13530567
Wear it in good health.

>>13530564
>falling for the Citizen meme

Almost as bad as falling for the Hamilton meme.

Actually... no... it's worse.

>>13530584
Hm.

I'll never understand these.

Who is the target audience for such a retarded piece?

>>13530609
>Who is the target audience for such a retarded piece

>>13530609
Elvis fans

>>13530609
People who call a watch a "piece"

Thoughts on digital watches with stainless steel cases?

>>13530584
I have both.
By whom was I rused?

>>13530630
>Roimex

>>13530630

The only digital watches that you can wear to work.

>>13530650
What does the little man in the drink mean?

I really wish mods would just start banning people who post dogshit in these threads.

>>13530568
Is it bad that the grape op 39 is my current obtainable grail?

>>13530553
No they're good. Not the most accurate (can be as bad +/- 25 sec/day) but hands down the best value mechanical watch.

>>13530656
>memex
>39mm
>gay purple (symbolizes femininity AND the BDSM community)

You should seriously contemplate if continuing to live is truly a viable option.

>>13530655
dogshit is subjective, litle frend

>>13530553
I'd honestly buy quartz at this price range, but that's just ME.

But yeah they're fine.

>>13530650
What would happen if you wore this bad boy to work?

>>13530656
Yes but more because the larger OPs have fucked up proportions than because of the color. 36mm is probably ideal for men, 31 or 34 for women. 26 is too small and 39 is for Chinese people.

If you want a watch that's 39mm+ then get a diver or a chrono or something like that.

>>13530662
It isn't, it's entirely objective.

Under $3000 = dogshit
Over $3000 and by a good brand = not dogshit

>>13530668
What criteria makes a watch by definition dogshit excluding price from the equation?

>>13530674
It's simple.

If it's not a Patek, it's shit.

>>13530665
My wrist can handle a 39mm by 48mm watch. I somehow pull off my Seiko Cocktail which is 40.5mm by 47.5mm and that watch is pretty big dial.

>>13530674
>brand is forgettable garbage with no real achievements, history or significance
>uses an off the shelf movement
>bracelet is dogshit, either uses folded links or is simply put together with poor tolerances and feels like a 10 year old bracelet right out of the factory
>any stamped components anywhere ever at any point in time
>the main thing: finishing is dogshit, this could mean anything from poorly finished hands, indices, the "hidden" parts of the case etc. generally looks like a piece of shit with rough edges, and no making your components have a matte finish does not excuse this you fucking cunt
>has a tacky shitter logo
>has a tacky shitter, over the top design philosophy

I could go on.

Before you ask, yes this means something like a Rolex 16800 is dogshit, but a 16800 on an aftermarket leather strap is not dogshit.

>>13530679
>Rolex 16800

There is literally nothing wrong with that MONSTER of a watch.

>>13530679
Those are some hot opinions. Too bad they are unenforceable and you'll just have to suffer through people posting watches that don't meet your criteria.

>>13530684
>STAMPED clasp
Get that dogshit out of my face immediately.

>>13530688
Russian dogshit is acceptable because it is expected that it is dogshit, no one is arguing that some USSR made piece of dogshit is the height of horology in the same way that Jap-crap faggots do.

>>13530692
>Russian watches
>dogshit

I can't even name a single Russian watch brand and that's saying something.

>>13530679
>I think getting too hung up on history or heritage instead of judging the watch for what it is as an object in the current moment and how well it is made can cloud you.
>agree
>depends on how the component is finished after the stamping.
>agree but often times I see people conflate design with finishing. Just because a design is simpler does not make the finishing worse
>somewhat subjective
>again subjective

>>13530692

>>13530698
Reminder that if you own a watch with a metal bracelet that is able to flex by more than 25 degrees you should put a gun in your mouth at once.

>>13530701
relax my dude no need to be this aggressively anal about things

Got this for $15 on ebay, did i do good? Anyone have experience with the 2428 movement?

>>13530656
I'm a fan too. Looking to add one eventually. After my green sub comes in.

>>13530701

>>13530664
People would still not give a shit about what watch I have on my wrist

>>13530708
>not ussr
>slava

Gonna be a nightmare probably.

Speaking of commieshit, should I buy a komandirskie?

>>13530757
Hell no.
Get a amphibia

>>13530759
I don't want a diver, I want that style and they're super cheap

>>13530710
How's the 36 vs 39 explorer?

>>13530787
39 is a better size for a man

>>13530787
36mm is far too small. It has no presence.

>>13530892
>a watch needs presence

You know fashions change over the years?
Do you still wear a ruff and tights?

Fit check

>>13530904
I get we are on a fashion board but even then following fashion trends is not what this board would call "effay"

>>13530908
Nice fake

>>13530908
Nice vincero chrono s bro.

>>13530911
Fashion is entirely about following trends.

>>13528662
I see. I have almost every image of the Solar Basedko shitter and the fake Tudor filtered, so it wasn't bother me as much.

>>13530916
Who do you think sets the trends sheep?

>>13530915
Kek

When did you grow up and start wearing your watches on only bracelets or leather /wt/?

I've got some new found love for my Planet Ocean 2500. The pre-ceramic does the tool/diver thing as well as a submariner IMO. Hoping these things go up in value so I can put it towards a GMT master at some point in the next few years. Until then I'll keep it on the wrist.

>>13530661
how does purple symbolize femininity and BDSM ? youre reaching bruh

>>13530934
About 0.00001% of the population.

>>13530939
Sorry, I don't wear bracelets. They're shit.

>>13530939
What you saying about my perlon, bro?

>>13530966
Why are you wearing it like a nato? Perlon isn't supposed to have so much excess.

>>13530972
What do you suggest? Wear it loose on my wrist?

>>13530940
Not him but purple is used in bdsm community. Which is different from puple symbolizing bdsm community

>>13530979
so if i use black in bdsm that means all black watches symbolize bdsm ? black jeans symbolize bdsm ? shit doesnt add up

>>13530984
Thats what Im saying, its very different.

Rocking my Max Bill in the Mediterranean.

Still waiting for the anon that bought the 34mm manual watch.

>>13531003
Where are you?

>>13531013
Northern spanish coast, near France. Rocky beaches, a lot of nature, not many people. Pretty /fa/ my dudes

You're on vacation I take it? I believe you're a brit.

>>13531034
Nah born and bred in Barcelona. Just here for the weekend. Mostly frenchmen around, the brits prefer other places thankfully

>>13531042
I see.
How do you feel about all that catalonia-stuff that was going on?

Today I wear the shitter that got me into watches.
I know, it's almost the worst thing to wear but still it's the reason I started the hobby.

>>13531052
Which watch was that?

Today I wear the shitter that got me into watches.

I suggest not buying one that's retard long.

Morning, gents.
It’s get drunk day at last.

>>13531066
Where do you live, my boy? I mean which country.

>>13531026
That’s not the Mediterranean...

I can confirm it looks a lot like spain, I've been there a billion times.

What kind of an answer is that?

>>13530664
I pump fuel for buses for a living and I always wear an f-91w at work. Most of my coworkers don't wear a watch, at least at work, don't know about outside work.

>>13531066
>>13531121
It won't hurt you to take some new photos, you know.

>>13531121
fucking ugly, but to each their own

>>13531136
You're crazy, it's a beautiful watch.

>>13531132

First for Seiko

But have you tried changing the battery?

>>13531178
I haven't tried anything yet, but that was my first plan.

What about this one? Makes me feel like a mob boss.

You need to learn how to write English before being smug.

It's like shitter brands are in a worst bezel insert competition

>>13531174
It's funny, I had a workmate at my old work who said he wouldn't wear an f-91w if he got one for free, I wore one at work, but the watch he wore, didn't wear any watch at work, that watch had fucking fake subdials.

>Watch movements that easily stomp watches 5x or 10x their price
Objectively wrong
>Rolex styling is very conservative
Rolex's entire design language is based around big-bezeled sports watches, the only "dress watch" they make is the Cellini and it looks like shit
>They have a reputation as a watch people buy tastelessly as a status symbol
True
>They remain exceptionally good watches nonetheless
Also true, but for none of the reasons you mentioned

>>13530562
>easily stomps watches 5x or 10x their price.
Hehe... no.

>>13531126
>I pump fuel for buses for a living

Sounds comfy

>>13531206
Not really, monotonous night shift work, really pumping fuel is only a small part, cleaning and washing the buses inside and out takes up more of the work.

>>13531183
Nice watch and nicer floor... just as nice as the blurred as fuck pic.

>>13531213
I'm living in a cheap apartment don't diss my floors bro. Now tell me true, is this a dumb watch

>>13531046
Very uneffay.
The spanish goverment that represents a large part of the population has some oldschool putrid values directly connected to fascism (and even older spanish values). This has created conflict with more european-centred values of catalonia.

Right now spain has catalonia grabbed by the balls and the catalan gov is acting like a little child.
Overall Id say that there are obvious significant cultural differences between catalonia and spain yet a part of spain refuses to acknowledge it because they are into powerplay.
>>13531069
It really is

>>13531216
We still can't even make out what kind of brand it is because you don't know how to focus.

>>13531218
I unironically supported your independence, even tho I never thought it would actually happen. I just really thought it would be fun if it happened.

Btw, I also got my maxie.

>>13531219
Who cares the brand? I just wanna know if it looks nice

>>13531225
I don't think it does.

>>13531226
Thanks for your honesty

>>13531230
I think it looks ok. Not good, just ok

>>13531200
>>13531205
Great, please let me know which watch in that price range has a 2spd guarantee, tests in six positions, and has a quoted 10 year service interval.

>>13531185
hehe you got rused my freind

>>13531220
Good shit my man. Post wrist etc. The tan is also great casual. I ordered my milanese on gecko, not the fine but the regular one. I believe the original junghans is between the both. Ill post results in a couple of days.

Not many people here unironically think independence is possible before ~20 years . Thats why the gov comes off as childish, because they arent being acknowledge and just throwing tantrums as a frustration mechanism.

>>13531167

>>13531248

I did too, until then I'm not really wearing mine. Right now I'm wearing the calculator hehe.

>>13531183
Dogshit

>>13531244
>tests in six positions
Do you have a reference for Rolex testing on six positions now? Their testing guide for authorized service centers still lists five.

>>13531254
Love it, my man. Still mad he sold it to you without telling me after I asked him.

>>13531074
The northern Spanish coast doesn’t face the Mediterranean. The bay of biscay is the sea off the northern Spanish coast.

>>13531254

>>13530664
Nothing...
Unless you work in an airport.

>>13531254
Fourth.

>>13531269
That's fair, all my six position references are movements from before 1950. I retract that requirement.

>>13531274

Northern Spain is not the mediterannean you utter brainlet

>>13531280
Nice, but put it on a good strap better.

>>13531123
He has autism. Leave him be

The only watch I ever actually use. Not very pragmatic. You had to hold the light button down for light, and in my basic training I had to count down the time like when we were running, but the light button also is also the fucking lap button, and so running in the dark and counting was impossible, and then my commander would make me get on my knees and eat her out

>>13531121
I love this watch in a way that my 14 year old self would love it.
Adult me knows that this kind of watch is completely un-/fa/ and is just too contemporary and tacticool.

>>13531288
Chill, I had a feeling you'd sell it to him anyway.

>>13531274
I think I'd asked him about it within about 60 seconds of him mentioning he was considering selling it, kek. I don't remember anyone else asking him about it though, might have missed it though.

>>13531276
Thanks.

>>13531291
>>13531275

Your knowledge of spanish geography is astounding.
Nevertheless I meant the north of the mediterranean coast of spain which is clearly different than the coast of the north of spain (cap de creus).

REMINDER TO NOT GIVE HIM SHIT FOR HIS GRANDPAS WATCHES

YOU KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN

How much would you boys pay for one of these with a machined stainless steel case? My finishing certainly won't be Grand Seiko standard but I'll do my best.

Alright, my NOS lighter arrived. I already got the LCD clock, but as I suspected the movement is just an old Hong-Kong made shitter.

I guess if you're a watchnigger, everything you own should have a little clock in it.

>>13531244
>>13531279
You might be right about the six positions, I was asking because as far as I know Rolex hasn't released the criteria they are currently using, and their service testing manual uses five.

Generally speaking, any of the free sprung 4hz movements made by JLC and by any it the mostly haute watchmakers should be capable of matching the +/- 2 SPD of Rolex, so long as they weren't lazy in adjusting and regulating them. Tudor's in house movement should also be capable of it.

Basically, 4hz + free sprung balances shift most of the challenge from being on the individual watchmaker tuning the timing performance to being on the engineering, precision manufacturing and QC ability of the company. They are harder to manufacture, but much easier to get very good timing performance out of as long as good QC was done and a little time is spent dialing in the rates.

>>13531315
*I already got the LCD clock working

>>13531313
In predominantly brushed finishes, assuming you did a half decent job on the external finishing? I'd certainly consider $100-$200.

Though I'd personally prefer a w217h-1av module instead.

>>13531319
>w217h-1av
Why would you prefer this? For the size?

>>13531291
>>13531275

purple rolex is a great color if ur buying it for ur wife :)

>>13531324
Explain yourself.

>>13531313
Just tell me your price.
I would be very generous if the product is decent.

>>13531323

>>13531327
I find those colourful Rolexes a bit "fun" for Rolex. Like iPod Nanos.

>>13531174
Agreed
I thought my Timex t2m516 is the cheap ass shit but >>13531170 is just too much. Why even buy shit like that?

>>13531330
Ah okay. Good point.

>>13531306
Well deserved then. Now that I think about it, I asked how much he's gonna sell for and said I'm interested. Didn't actually ask to sell it to me.

>>13531328
Not the same guy, buy im a spanish from the "north" (basque) and always wondered why we are called "The North" when Catalonia or Aragon are as "north" as we are.

>>13531328
I'm saying you are stupid if you didn't understand where he was located. He said Mediterranean and he said north. You guys start larping like this:
>"that isn't mediterranean haha im a big brainlet haha"

You're either stupid, or you acted that way for the shitposting. I'm hoping for the latter.

>>13531328
Dude I was being polite. I didnt say it wrong, these idiots understood whatever they wanted when I clearly said the north of the coast not the coast of the north.

>>13531333
a158 is more classic and true to its vintage heritage, make that one.

>>13531349
Good morning

He said "Northern Spanish coast" you retard.
Just shut up.

>>13531349
da faq is that meme watch?

this may be my next buy. Thoughts?

>>13531349
This watch ticks 720 times per second??

>>13531354
>there isn't a northern mediterranean coast

>>13531361
As opposed to the southern Spanish coast?

>>13531357
It is an Omega megasonic, a 720hz tuning fork watch. The most overengineered tuning fork watch in history, it has magnetic gears that drive the geartrain.

>>13531368
What I'm saying is that there OBVIOUSLY is a northern part of the mediterranean sea, and when he say he is in the northern mediterranean coast of spain, you would know where he's talking about unless you're a M O R O N
No more (you)s for brainlets like you, NO MORE!!!

>>13531359
In fact, because it has a totally different indexing design than the other tuning fork watches, it ticks 1440 times per second. It is to my knowledge the third-smoothest movement design in history, after springdrive/piaget 700p and Seiko 5s21/5s42.

Yes, you'd think watches involve actual technology.

>>13531473
They don't though.

>>13531372
What am I looking at?

Rate my bun.

>>13531473
Don’t be a little cunt.
I like cars and photography but I will never service a combustion engine or a sensor.

Take good care of him. Mine died 3 years ago and life is not the same.

>>13531495
Well the thing with watches is that to be a watch hobbyist, all you have to do is go to a shop and buy a watch.
Some people liek to take it further by learning more about how watches work. With photography you are being creative and cars can require some kind ofknowledge to upgrade.
You should service your own car at least once though, senpai. It's really easy.

>>13531497
She's a female and just turned 2 years old.
How old was yours when he died? YOu getting another?

This watch is called the Rado Military and as such the dial and hands are covered in radioactive lume.

>>13531506
The bun? Very little. She sometimes sniffs my watches but is generally indifferent.
The Explorer I has heritage from when some dudes climbed everest with a Rolex (Oyster perpetual I think?) which Rolex then jumped on and marketed a watch named Explorer for this market. I only explore my city and my girlfriend's rectum though.

Post your heritage watches.

Pic is my grandmothers watch.
She was kind of a mentor to me.

>>13531519
15000HUF if nothing else is needed. But pretty much any trained watchnigger can service that movement. Just take a good look on who's a serious watchmaker and who's a hack.

>>13531540
So the 10k huf, I got, is a good fairly good price...
He is also a pro.

>>13531500

He didn’t like the change so he stopped eating.
It was my own goddamn fault.
Sorry friend.

No I recently moved and my furniture is not old enough to have one. But I will like in a year or two.

Don’t worry those creatures can last 12 years if you’re not an idiot like me.

Nice watch btw

>>13531528

Sadly it's a quartz shitter but some day I will melt it down and get a nice piece for that money.

If my grandma gave me something that shitty, I would take it as an insult.

>>13531625
Why are you calling him Rakesh? That's not Faketudor's wrist, and Faketudor's name is not Rakesh, because Faketudor is obviously white.

@13531528
Gas yourself

>>13531648
Might as well be, Rakesh owns a fake tudor as well

>>13530656
I own the much smaller 34mm. It's unironically my favorite watch.

Everyone time I look at the dial it's like a slightly different watch. If you've ever owned a watch with a dial that changes depending on the lighting conditions, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's like if you had a friend who constantly changed their haircut, but every change was cute.

>>13531657
I don't know who Rakesh is, but the tudor guy always posting his tudor and trolling the thread with pornwebms and so forth, is a white guy (probably some brit). It' not some paki like many ITT believes. I don't know why they even think that, because it's quite obvious when looking at his wrist that he isn't a paki.

>He is mad that I moved this general to /fa/
Should have APOLOGIZEd when you had the chance.

>>13531683
This is why people think he is a paki.
Could be some half breed or a north paki or a albino cunt id.

>>13531689
No, he does not have the phenotype to be any of those. He is a typical fair-skin&haired brit, or northern european.

Most likely he has been trolling you into believing that this paypal order is his (really who would post their order like that on 4chan, including their address and name) - or you confused another anon's order.

Regardless, the guy on the images is not paki, he is north european or perhaps american with north european heritage.

Seiko does quartz so well. Nice.
>>13531669
I know what you're talking about anon. I have a 34mm Bulova Wristalarm, and the dial is creamish, but the inner wall around the dial is gold, so if you look at it from an angle it 'glows' a golden color. One of favorite watches. Nice scissors btw.

what the fuck is going on in this thread

>>13531729
>How did you polish that ks anon? Also what size is that, 36mm?
Just a tiny bit of polishing with 1 micron diamond spray applied to a microfiber cloth. Just enough to clean up the careful hand polishing job done by the Japanese seller without going deeper than the scratch marks left by his polishing (which I confirmed under USB microscope).

You have to be incredibly careful about polishing vintage watches, but most especially gold capped vintage watches. I only polished it the little bit that I did because it was obvious the Japanese seller had already hand polished it a bit, so I wanted to clean up his work.

And yeah, it's 36mm but wears much larger than the 36mm 52 KS Special.

>>13531741
/fa/ anon here.
I mostly lurk this thread occasionally, watches are just an accessory to me, albeit an important one.

All these over-saturated IG "wrist game" pictures look like shit. Does anyone actually think wearing a big flashy watch and a bazillion bracelets comes off as anything other than super obnoxious and gaudy?

Nigga, I knew it was you. I fucking knew it. :3

so /fa/gs I been looking for my granddads old Omega watch (1930's-50's one that you manually wined, I think either a sea master or geneve. I'll post in a thread tomorrow when I find it). My question is how would I go about restoring such a piece, it's silver so should I get a black or brown strap, and in general what is the consensus on Omega? Is it just a lesser Swiss watch brand to that of say Rolex, or does Omega hold its own patrician position?

>>13532150
Also whats the view on Sekonda watches?

>>13532150
A Rolex of similar vintage, would be worth an astronomical amount of money. Omega was a low tier brand back then, competed with Elgin, Waltham and Sears robuck.

Rolex compeated with Illinois, Hamilton railroad, lecoultre, ch Tissot, and a few others

Waiting in my Volvo wearing my Thiccodate... life is great.

>>13532157
>Omega was a low tier brand back then

>>13532157
So vintage Omegas are a bit shit? damn.

>>13532157
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>13532157

>>13532088
Yes, but can't really make recommendations without a budget

>>13532161
Not shit tier, a Rolex from 1950, explorer will buy you a new car.

An Omega will get you an Xbox


Collectors are JUST starting to come around to Omega but vintage Rolex, patek etc is top tier Grail.

>>13532150
/g/ here. The 30t2 cal manual wind omegas from that period are considered some of the best manual wind movements of the pre-quartz era and pieces in good condition go for 1k USD+ regularly. Omega up through the early 70s was one of the most competitive production watchmakers in history. It will definitely be important to determine what kind of movement it has.

>>13532172
Lit, I won't sell because I think my Granddad wore it on D-day but it's good to know that donning a vintage omega is a classy watch and not just an autistic statement like people who wear waistcoats casually.
>>13532174
And shit, wont lie I know fuck all about watches, I'll post pictures in a thread tomorrow as I will need help gauging its age, model, and condition.

>>13532160
>>13532163
>>13532167


Omega raised it's prices about 5x what they were in a rebranding effort to revitalize the brand in the mid-late 80's

Part of the rebranding was featuring it in Hollywood movies.

There was a point in time where an average middle class American could comfortably afford an Omega.

Same with Rolex, but it was a little more.

Patek has always been out of reach for the most part

>>13532152
Generally for homosexuals.

Not that I have anything against homosexuals, I've tried that stuff myself in the past, strictly oral tho.

But yeah it's for homosexuals.

>>13532168
Anything under $300

>>13532189
If you want mechanical, something from Orient, their ladies watches are decent for the price. For quartz, citizen has some decent ladies watches at that price. If you want a fashion watch, Kate Spade is the best, though obviously terrible value in terms of movement tech.

>>13532179
Swatch Omega, aside from the names of their product lines and the cal 1861, has essentially nothing to do with pre-swatch Omega.

>>13531729
They invented it....

If Seiko only sold watches $20k+

Rolex fanboys would be all over it, invented qaurtz, invented spring drive, credor branded 2 minute repeater fucking crushed baselworld

lol I just bought a car for me and my girlfriend which costs less than my watch.
What the fuck is wrong with me.

>>13532197

Pre-quartz Omega was one of the greatest production watchmakers to have ever existed. Omega's watches from that period are still regarded today as some of the greatest series produced manual wind timepieces ever made.
