Is that 45mm?

13626963
Thank you! I'm just worried I won't be able to buy it once I can afford it since it's a 250 models limited edition

How much would you pay for this?

Has anyone ever bought from zen market's yahoo JP auctions? See quite a lot of SARB033s with stock images and was wondering if they're legit or not

what do you guys think of this piece
Ref.5001.42 from 1986
I am thinking about starting to save up for this.

>>13627102
$150

Gents, can anyone recommend a watch. Been looking for a while:

>36 mm
>black dial
>stainless Steel oyster bracelet
>100m water resistance
>bar hour indicators
>less than 250gbp
>robust or long lasting movement, could be auto or solar etc

Basically a rolex explorer, but not a rolex explorer, for less money

Been scouring the seiko range but not having much luck

cons to this watch, /wt/?

>>13627134
SNXS79K

>>13627149
I currently have the silver version of this. The caseback is too thicc and is only 30m resistance

>>13627148
Looks bad

Thoughts on Citizen eco-drive watches?

>>13627134
>Basically a rolex explorer, but not a rolex explorer, for less money
A fake Rolex Explorer.

it's a Fossil, so yes and yes

It'll only look cheap to people who know anything about watches. To everyone else they would have no idea.

it seems to get a trend to have a casio f-91w as most iconic watch.
decent piece bro

I feel you on having too much free time

Is this any good or nah?

>>13627184
how does one tell the quality of a watch?
just by the brand?
if the watch didnt have fossil written on it, how would anyone tell how expensive it is
what are the indicators

>>13627301
> "Is this any good"
> Movement caliber unreadable
I dunno but it's probably nothing special

>>13627303
Fossil is an established brand which normies think is good. But to some watch enthusiasts, they are just a mostly quartz fashion brand. No fancy finishing, no fancy in house automatic movements (as far as I know). Just a watch

Found this in one of my boxes of slavshit donors, a blind man's Raketa.

>>13627303
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK0v7Zm5uaY

So I found a police auction selling a lot of old seikos. There are three watches and I'm pretty certain one is a G757. The screen is chipped pretty badly and the seller hasn't tested the watches to make sure they power on. The lot is going for 25$. Worth a bid? Could I sell the G757 for parts?

>>13627325
Why don't you just buy a new watch

>>13627329
G757 is the inspiration for the Casio Royale. Moore era Bond Watch. Sells for 400$ in good condition

>>13627217
autism

>>13627331
Or buy a new royale for 12$

>>13627319
so unless someone has a microscope in his pocket he can only tell by the brand

what sort of degenerate pays 80k for a watch btw

is it only for saudi princes with gold coated tigers?

Seiko don’t make them like they used to...

>>13627303
>>13627362
I bet a lot of /wt/ can eyeball a watch and tell if it's expensive / quality from a distance. Some of us can even tell between a Rolex and a fake Rolex.

However most people just see the surface and wouldn't know what to look for.

>>13627310

Don't just give him (You)s so easily.

watches are gay
I just looked at like 20 of the most popular high end watches and I would be embarrassed to wear any of them, even for free

>>13627494
great you feel this way, saves you a ton of money when you dont fall for the luxury watch meme, or the whole watch meme at all.

>>13627494
Can you show us examples of which ones you looked at?

>>13627501
Meanwhile he will fall for smartphone memes, clothing memes, and a lot of other types of memes.

Suggestions for a titanium watch? Grade 5 maybe.
All parts in titanium. Can be diver or more dressy.
Automatic or Ecodrive/HAQ.
Budget max 800-1000$ (but also a lower price is ok).

>>13627501
>whole watch meme
I prefer to call it "the mechanical jew"

>>13627494
>I just looked at like 20 of the most popular high end watches

>>13627509

>low budget
Eh, not many options for you I'm afraid. Those who have suggestions feel free to give him some, but I don't know any

>>13627325
How hard up for funding is this dept. that is trying to hawk busted up Seiko's?

Don't buy that G757. You can't repair that screen, and you'll never find a replacement. You'd have to rip apart a good G757 and put it in the case. Point is, just snoop around for a G757 that isn't wrecked, and pay the extra that you would have had to pay anyway.

>>13627546
Wait, I misread a lot of that.

For 25 for the lot, that's not a bad deal actually. But you won't really get anything for a potentially busted G757 module. I doubt you'd get a lot for the case, you could maybe sell the bracelet? If you ever made money back on that 25$ lot, it would be minimal, barely worth the effort of buying it imo, if you're trying to make money. If you're a watchmaker looking for potential spares, definitely

Still though, they're trying to sell busted up Seiko's?

>>13627494
The 20 most popular anything is shit.
Prove me wrong.

>>13627017
I need help. I am looking for a silver watch (36-40mm) with an elastic wristband and a classic, minimalistic dial. Are there any particular models you would suggest or would I be best of looking for vintage models? Thanks in advance.

>>13627109
Pls respond

>>13627580
Just get a timex easyreader and put an expandable Speidel bracelet on it.

>>13627584
I've used zenmarket tons though never to buy a modern watch. You have zero buyer protection on zenmarket so I would suggest waiting until you find a seller you feel good about. Have you read the used watch pastebin?

Micropenis

>>13627172
You can’t get fakes of the 36mm Explorer. I’ve tried.

>>13627593
I'm not too huge on the dial, II'd prefer Roman letters or no letters at all. But thanks nevertheless, I expected just getting a watch and a bracelet would be the best option.

Are there any 36mm penis quartz watches?

>>13627560
>>13627546
Yeah actually most watches like this are sold in lots by the pound. This listing was unusual in that it was only two and they bothered to photograph the watches individually. It's not at all uncommon to see something like 'mixed lot of watches, seiko, timex, casio, skagen.. 14 lbs. 25$" Most police auctions are through property room now. It's a pretty cool site and I recomend checking it out. https://www.propertyroom.com/c/watches_bulk-lots

>>13627631
My 4883-8000 is 36mm.

>>13627639

>>13627632
If I was a watchmaker, I'd be all over that. Stock up on some spare circuits. Might even get lucky on some Miyota and ETA parts.

just ordered pic related
did I get memed or what

>>13627121
I like it.

>leave your valued watch in a service center
>they give it back to you with an added scratch on the case side

Fucking hell I hate this hobby. Is it too much to fucking ask nowadays that you don't fucking add damage to my shit and just do your expected job?? Holy shitcunts I am so mad.

>>13627301
>>13627482
This is a watch that will be fairly reliable and accurate. The 7546 is a pretty good vintage quartz movement.

Also if you have a proper, serious watchmaker replace every seal you can even swim with it.

>>13627676
I don't know if this is just me, but if I'm buying a watch that is as affordable as a seiko 5, then I will more likely find myself a quartz watch.

>>13627174
In the picture, not particularly, irl, it will look cheap, but not obviously so.

-Out of a small crowded bar, maybe 3 have noticed your watch. Only one probably cares.
-if you're worried how expensive your watch looks, you're approaching watch buying from the wrong angle.

>>13627730

>>13627705
Depends on how much you're into watches.

If you really LOVE watches, only the best will do. Get a decent $500 japanese quartz and save for a good steel sports watch. Build a collection slowly from there.

If you think mechanicals are cool, but could never possibly envision yourself spending $4000+ dollars on a wristwatch, the Seiko 5 is fine. Maybe get some decent German microbrand mechanical down the line.

>>13627731
you are either genuinely retarded or just shitposting at this point

also I guess people here a poorfags with timexes because apparently no one can relate with service center cocking it up

It was $300 and change, which is a decent price for a 4883 Superior in pretty good condition (bracelet has some issues and day wheel has some issues - day wheel issues are common on these watches).

My 9983 Superior is 35mm and was around $2k, pictured here.

>>13627934
No
Nixon might be the best fashion watch brand, still they are shit though

>>13627937
Nixon is better than any seiko 5 watches tho, yet many ITT swear to seiko 5 regardless. Why is that?

>>13627934
Cartier, and only Cartier

>>13627934
Depends on how you define 'good' for a fashion watch. You can't rate them based on the same points as you would a real watch. Frankly I'd just score them on how good they look.

The only fashion brand I've seen with some nice looking designs are Gucci, especially for women.

>>13627974
Cartier doesn't count. The Tank and Santos have real history behind them.

>>13627934
No. The categories of "fashion watch" and "good" are mutually exclusive.

>>13627978
>The only fashion brand I've seen with some nice looking designs are Gucci, especially for women.
no, please no.

Women's fashion watches that at least have decent designs include Anne Klein, Kate Spade, Fossil. Michael Kors, Gucci, Guess, etc. most certainly do not.

>>13627887

I meant to ask what are your top 3 brands, but fucked it up. You determine them for yourself.

>>13628076
hi windy

>>13627913

>>13628094
Not him but
-Seiko
-Rolex
-Patek

It's pretty basic bitch, but the bottom line is Seiko has been around forever and makes a product that's good and affordable

Rolex is mostly marketing but the quality is top notch, and they're designs are very versatile.

Patek is top notch in their range as well. They've got a lot of history, and the best cred, even though Breguet came first.

Both Rolex and Patek have the best resale in the business. If you need a Kidney, and quick cash, you can flick it for pretty close to what you paid for it.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Citizen-Cosmotron-7803-790631-K-Electronic-Watch/183398266870

Wow, people actually started bidding!

And I fucked up a bit, the last pic is a different watch. This is what happens when you collect vintage Jap watches, they all look the same.

Do you guys like Orient?

>>13628133
> reserve not met
what were you thinking

>>13628134
Yes, but although I've worked on a few customer's watches, I've never owned one.

>>13628143

>>13628147
>I'm definitely not selling it lower than what I got it for.

But this one is ugly.

Wristlet reporting in. Went to try on a 34mm OP. Was hoping to check the green one but it wasn't available.

>>13628126
Surpised you put Patek above A. Lange for premium.

Also while I agree that Rolex is the archetypical midrange brand in my mind the 'top' midrange is JLC. I think JLC pieces punch way above their price.

>>13628212
>34mm
>that pic
nigger I'm 5'9" 120lbs and that is what 40mm looks like on me
not that it's too but but I wouldn't go any bigger

>>13628213
Not him but Patek have much better resale value than Lange (for now)

My picks for each level would be, though I am missing some brands -

High: Patek, A.Lange, Vacheron.
Mid: Rolex, JLC, ????
Low: Nomos, Grand Seiko, ????

>>13627934
This is sort of a funny question. Fashion watch as it's used here and in other online forums effectively means bad watch. When something is called a fashion watch by watch enthusiasts it's meant that the watch is meant solely to look good and it has no horological value. Over time first certain styles and then whole brands (skagen, D Wellington, etc) have collectively been called fashion watches. And now that the definition has shifted from bad watch to x brands it's possible to ask a question like 'are there any fashion watches that are good'

I'd say a 'good' fashion watch would be the Invicta 8296OB, especially when it gets discounted down to 40$

Opinions on ball, more specifically the trainmaster moonphase?

>>13628094
Part of this depends on what is a "brand". Is Phillipe Dufour a brand? Is Greubel Forsey a brand? Is Credor a brand? Even with many brands, there's wild variety in watch quality - Swatch Breguet's entry-level stuff with ETA movements is pretty different from their superwatches.

>>13628222
Being a wristlet sucks. But I have huge hands and forearms. So as a whole small watches can look funny on me.

My smallest watch is actually 38mm

>>13628243
I've never understood Ball's status as one of the only mechanical tritium watch manufacturers, and their dressier aesthetic. Tritium seems like a good match for field watches, not dressy moonphase watches. That said, Ball is fine, but obviously you're paying a tremendous premium for tritium since it's so scarce in watches today. I wouldn't consider it worth it.

>>13628244
Just give your opinion, you autist.

>>13628234
Out of scale: Dufour and Daniels.
Top: Lange and Patek.
Luxury high: Rolex, JLC, Omega.
Luxury: Zenith, Grand Seiko, some Tudor, Breitling (few), Nomos.
Cool shitter: Tissot, Seiko, Junghans.
Tool: Citizen, Casio.

Because people only wear them for fashion. They have no merit when it comes to watchmaking.

Hey canada bros.

And a seiko lm special in pretty good condition on a Hadley roma leather strap and serviced not that long ago

And a seiko sarb035 in good condition

I love JLC. But you can do so much more with an Oyster sports; barbecues, weddings, hiking, swimming. They work for everything. If I could only have one watch, it'd be a sub, exp i, or exp ii. Even though JLC is objectively better in everything else

Lange is a weird one. Fantastic stuff, but they died, and were resurrected by richemont, so for me, they're kind of restarting their history. They have to build up some cred.

>>13628741
I mostly agree about JLC. They make some great watches but if I had to only pick one watch to wear forever it'd be a Rolex.

> Lange ... have to build up some cred.
Huh?? They are literary the watch fans watchmaker atm. They make some of the best watches and movements released in the last few decades.

>>13628741
>they died, and were resurrected by richemont
No, they were bought by Richemont almost a decade after they restarted.

Sorry a minor point in his argument on an anime forum didn't please you.

>>13628741
I at least found this insightful. Though I don't find one watch arguments persuasive. I mean yeah if I had to wear one watch for the rest of my life it would be a diver. But I don't and I think looking at watches that way encourages reductive thinking and values versatility above other aspects. I want my dress watch to look good in a business setting and I want a tougher watch I can take out and not worry too much about. I think in some way the elegance of a dress watch, it's specific purpose, it's lack of versatility all contribute to its mystique. It's like the nice china that you save for when you have special guests. If you ate off those plates every night they wouldn't be as valuable to you. If you had to have one set of plates for the rest of your life you'd probably pick some versatile neutral colored crockery. That doesn't mean that your grandmothers' china is less valuable.

I think implicit in your argument is the idea that if you're operating on a budget you're only going to buy one really nice watch so you better pick one that you can wear a lot. For myself, I'd rather spend the money on a nice dress watch and then spend significantly less on a tool diver. How much less depends on your budget of course. Maybe you spend 1200 on a Nomos and 200 on a Seiko. Perhaps you spend 20K on JLC and 4K on a Tudor.

I'm someone who treats my watches roughly. I work with a chainsaw on weekdays and I work with my hands on weekends. Knowing that, I save my money for dress pieces that I can enjoy and savor. Perhaps other posters would rather have one watch for all occasions. In that scenario, I agree that JLC isn't the way to go and that a Rolex is more versatile. For me I'd probably go with a Tudor GMT or maybe an El Primero but it's a question I've devoted little thought to.

Can't seem to find a SARB033 for a decent price. What's the SARY057 like?

Who /gshock/ here?

I have a DW5600. I like it.

I love Lange, don't get me wrong. It's downright amazing what they've managed to produce since they came back in the early 90's. But for me, history goes a long way, and PP has been in continuous operation longer. I know it's a myopic way of looking at things.

>>13628765
I guess I need to brush up on my history a bit. But it's a matter of Lange, despite going back to the 1800's, is kind of a newcomer in it's current incarnation. I think they need to stick around longer to usurp Patek as "top dog"

Guys, I love the look of this. I need something with a good alarm to wake me up. Anything better than this? What other features could I possibly get? I'm a feature whore. It also looks thicker than I'd like, I like my watches thin.

>>13627134
I'm also looking for the same thing, the Seiko SGG599 gives off shitter vibes but looks pretty good. The SGG731 would be perfect if not for it's ugly ass lugs.

>>13627148
I'm heavily considering selling my SBDN028 and buying that instead, the differences are minor but the SNE498 looks like it has better finish and I like how it looks more like an "actual" tuna.

Honestly I really wanna swap out the strap on this citizen I have because the stock strap is fucking garbo. What kind of strap and what color should I get? Was thinking either a black NATO or maybe a black leather band, but seemed a bit too matchy for my tastes since I wouldn't mind a little more pop.

recs for a dual time watch <500 USD?

>>13628958
The green map version looks much nicer

>>13628973
I have mine on an olive nato, I've had it on a Bond nato before too. I guess you could try on red as it would match the seconds hand and contrast with the black dial.

>>13629040
This >>13629056 can be set so the main display and the small display on the top left show 2 timezones.

>>13629056
Can't even tell what this top left and top right screens do

Dress or dive watch for my first big purchase? Have a $2500 budget.

What do you recommend? I was looking at the Oris Aquis, would this be a smart purchase?

I'm an accountant but enjoy going to the beach etc...

>>13629099
Left's an analog clock of the home time zone and right's indicators for shit like alarms, mute, etc.

>>13629061
Nice strap, w2c?

I might grab a black and grey actually, I like how it looks without drawing a lot of attention. Very understated

>>13629116
I got it on eBay years ago, I did have it on the black & grey nato too but I wanted the red detail.

Funny seeing him in the early days

>>13627102
At least the pictures aren't deceptive about how used it is.
I would pay about $40 USD

>>13629100
Why go for a shitter for your first big purchase? Oris is good but if you can spend $2500 step up to something proper like Tudor or Omega.

>>13629100
Save more and get an Omega Seamaster 300m.

Wearing this as my daily beater
One of the most tasteful activity trackers in my opinion
What do you think?

>>13629171
Wear it in good health.

Is the seiko 5 black out of production? They're like 80 bucks and they used to be 50

bought it in japan, very hard to find

>>13629255
They have made steel look like cheap chrome plated plastic. It should be brushed a lot more.

>>13629258
looks good irl

>>13629255
I don't know if you are joking. But I hate the people that go "oh man, I wish this JDM watch was in america, too bad" or a dude starting off the video will say "unfortunately this is a japanese only watch". Maybe I am wrong, but isn't this whole hobby pretty much an online only thing for the most part? you click twice and have it, JDM is meaningless. Like are these people going to macys for their seikos? Or I guess driving 200 miles for the the 3 stores each brand has in the country. Even a rolex I'd probably just look at the measurements then buy off chrono24

>>13629268
what are you talking about

>>13629269
The watch isn't hard to find, gshock people are very aware of it and it's extremely easy to order one. There are a bunch of people that say that shit for JDM watches even though all of us are buying online for 90% of them.

>>13628179
Same. I want to like Bulova's Precisionists but damn they really need to fire their stylists

Pic related is about the best of the Precisionist line and it's still godawful. It's also fuckhueg but that's kinda forgivable since they need to put a damn car battery in it to get any lifespan out of it at all.

>>13629277

Unless you're like 6'4'' with huge wrists this is never going to look good on you

>>13628409
anyone?

>>13629351
eBay

>>13629188
Most likely it's just because of the huge demand
The SNK809 has been advertised by anyone on the web who knows mechanical watches are a thing and it's the first watch novice WISes(?) buy; either that or the SKX or a dressier 5

>>13628324

Any reason why a similar casio costs 14 € and this one is around 50 €?

>>13629467
I guess because there's less of them about, there's a pre-owned one on there for £15.

they really know how to get my dick hard

>>13629489
hell no
you can get a watch for as little as $10

Truly the GS is the most embarrassing watch purchase anyone can make.

Genuine Rakesh is there something you want to tell the group. I saw you have been posting a lot of homosexual webms lately and we will accept you for who you are my lovely chubby hairy boy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjOOKb-DFZs

>>13629268
Damn I have had the worst time trying to find the watch in your pic

WHY ARE 7A28'S SO EXPENSIVE REEEEEEEEE

>>13629509
I like the spring drive ones but I think the power reserve indicator ruins them. IMO that belongs behind the clear caseback because it would never be a concern while you are wearing it

>>13629509
>>soullessness of a quartz
Quartz is a far better time keeper. More accurate and less susceptible to shock or magnetism.

>>13629535
Boring.

>>13629509
that's a high beat automatic you dumbass, not a spring drive

Rakesh you better start posting pictures of your belly

If only they made a 37mm version of that hi-beat.

>>13629509
That's a mechanical hi-beat model, dumbfuck.

Morning wt

Rakesh my big beautiful boy why do you only come to /f1/ when there is a race on the Sunday now. Was it something I did to hurt you my lovely?

i think i caught the fieldwatch bug. Any better alternates before i pull the trigger?

>>13629563
i was thinking about copping that tissot

>>13629575
just buy that thing, ugliest watch you can have, made from fucking plastic

what do you think?

>>13629575
Unironically get a timex.

Hey watchfuckers,
My name is Rakesh, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are intelligent, well educated, successful who spend every second of their day wearing and enjoying genuine wristwatches. You are everything I am jealous of in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten a replica? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people whom actually bought a replica watch instead of an actual watch. This is even worse than spending time learning about horology.
Don't be a tgv-fag. Just hit me with your best accuracy rating. I'm just a few seconds over 1 minute a day. My fake watch even has a fake chronometer certification. What watch do you wear, other than high quality Japanese timepieces? I also get mocked by my friends and even my grandma (She just laughed off my BB; Shit was SO degrading). You are all horology masterminds who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.
Pic Related: It's me and my replica

>>13629575
Unless you have a massive hardon for tritium, I'd seriously consider one of the handwind only Hamilton Khaki Field models.

What the fuck went wrong?

>>13629623
>Buying a tonneau cased Speedmaster that isn't a Caliber 1045/Lemania 5100 model
Literally why?

>>13629628
Too old

>>13627180

Morning wt

>>13629576
I realy enjoy wearing this watch. Can't say anything about it's accuracy but the 791 movement is just comforting to listen to.
Get compliments from normies for it but they would conpliment DW too.

>Pic related is about the best of the Precisionist line
Come on now

>>13627186
>>13627185
>Invicta

absolutely disgusting

Just curious ,but how autistic do you guys get about keeping seconds accurate? Since the Seiko 5 I have doesn't let you stop the second hand on it, you have to wait for the thing to die or fool with moving back and forth when adjusting time to freeze it. Probably the reason I don't wear it as often as my others

>>13629714
Even the best most expensive automatic watches loose or gain seconds every day. You shouldn't worry about it

>>13629716
Well that makes me feel better then. No point in worrying about it I guess.

Cheers, anon. It was my first automatic so I'm still new to the whole ordeal.

Ordered this boi other day as my first auto/semi luxury piece, not sure whether to leave it on the bracelet or go for leather or a bond nato since winter will be bitter.

Also juggling picking up either a $350 steinhart ocean one *cough-submarinerripoff-cough* or a $1000 Sinn 104 to use daily because I'm not in a position to sport a 4k watch daily, especially titanium that scratches more easily than steel.

i want a watch but I'm not big into always knowing the time, what can I do? most of the timeless watches I've seen are 'quirky' and far worse than just having a watch without a battery, I was thinking it would be tiiiiiight to have a manual watch with a mechanism like pic related but that might be actually shit

>>13629724
forgot pic

>>13629717
I'd recommend a radio controlled g shock if you want the atomic time always

>>13629714
Most (though not all) watches that don't hack can be "backhacked" by applying pressure to the crown, including the 7s26 movement in a Seiko 5.

>i want a watch but I'm not big into always knowing the time, what can I do? most of the timeless watches I've seen are 'quirky' and far worse than just having a watch without a battery
Just wear beads

>>13629737
thats dope, I might just be onto some DIY swaaag now boiz

>>13629738
I already do senpai

whats a nice watch for a tiny wristed faggot like me.

>>13629738
This guy is a watch dealer and he tries them all on before selling them. This is why I wouldn't buy a new watch without stickers God only knows what else he does with them

>>13629731
>>13629734
Eh, accurate time isn't that important to me anyways since I can't possibly think of a situation I'll be in where I NEED the time to be accurate to a second and I won't have my smartphone. I feel a lot better knowing that it's just the nature of the game. I just checked a few of my other watches that I was SURE were correct when I set them and noticed they had all actually gained some seconds except the few that lost some. So I can sleep at night.

Time keeping is pretty fascinating, I bet this shit drove people mad when clocks were being first developed.

Best Rolex for $3k or less? I know lower end shit but just looking for some ideas. Or should I just go with several $500-1000 watches instead? But basically I have $3k for watches

>>13629760
Just save another year and you won't have to settle for one

>>13629760
>rolex
aaaaaaahahahahahhaahahha

>>13629750

their only mechanical, so no loud Timex TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK (well, to be fair their watches with a small seconds don't TICK loudly either)

>>13629762
>>13629764

Or recommend me another brand. Basically I got a much nicer job recently and I need to update everything, so I need a nice watch that will be presentable in an environment with high roller types, but not gaudy looking.

>>13629772
You're gonna settle for a 1-2k shitter and then still want your rolex so just save for the one you want numb nuts

>>13629760
Get a low interest CC, buy a submariner GMT and drop the 3k on that and pay off the rest at your own pace?

What did you mean by this Rakesh my son?

>>13629772
I recently got a tudor pelagos for my own 30th birthday and its not that far off $3000, tudor is practically a branch of rolex, in terms of bang for buck the pelagos steamrolls the sub

>>13629789

That's the thing, I have a new CC with 0% interest until December 2019 and a $6k limit but I don't really want to spend it all on a watch

>inb4 manage your money

I make $4k a month after taxes so this isn't really an issue.

>>13629718
I much prefer the look of the pelagos on the bracelet, but try it on the nato and see which one you prefer, great choice anon.

>>13629797
get ur helmet pierced then tough guy

>>13629760
The only $3k Rolex I can think of is the old Air King 5500.

>>13629809
Gay king

>>13629797
If its the submariner you want then get that, you wont even remember the financial details a few years down the line and you will always regret settling for less

The omega speedmaster is also a classic and is a bit less than a submariner, depends on your style.

I already have a 4k watch but if i had 3k right now for watches i'd probably try to diversify my selection with a flight watch like the Sinn 104 ($1000) as my daily on a leather strap, and a Grand Seiko Snowflake ($2000) for any time i'm in a suit.

The time has come to post now the new bread! Plus the bread post and fast do it quickly like a bunny a quick little bunny rabbit with Sav for this campers and scammers we need bread we need right now the bubble man has been reach when we post to Brett go get a picture of the watch and post is not that hard you do it please and thank you!!

>>13629809
There are also some Oyster Dates floating around in the sub 3k range. Also some of the old "Bubble Back" models from the 1940's

>>13629815
I don't get the Air King hate. It's a clean design, with a solid 1530 cal underneath. There is nothing particularly bad about it, beyond it being on the "low end," but it's running, literally, the same movement of the higher end subs and datejusts of the time.

>>13629841
ur a clean design

>>13629820
this

>>13629171
Looks very nice, I would never have guessed that it's a "smart" watch. I also like the nokia made one, but it's a bit more techy looking with the display alongside the analog face.

here are some watches i like.

some chronographs are cool if they're not too loud, but i like clean and simple.

I'm aware this is a list of memes and shit tier watches, but it gives an idea of what case design i like and dials i like.
the explorer looks sexy but i don't like the raised crystal.
i'm a wristlet at 6.5 - 6.75" so dont want anything to big

I only want to spend a few hundred dollars max for my first purchase.

Any recommendations?

If you're gonna have a fake rolex you gotta be real careful you don't let the glass scratch because that's the biggest giveaway.
