Hello windy, how's the nubile gf?

lmao @yout

>>13629922
Good! Out of town right now, I’m thinking about selling the spooky work she said she didn’t want it On eBay one dollar and no reserve

I have all the original box and everything and I’ve never even bent the strap

ROOOOOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXX

>>13629934
Be sure to post the listing here

>>13629918
post pics of your digital watch project, do you have the tubes?

>>13629940
I will, people have expressed interest in it and I would like somebody here to get it. I don’t know if you get in trouble for selling stuff here on four Chan. But brand new in the box they go for $200 and I got a deal on it so I don’t need to get that much.

>>13629966
I don’t have the tubes yet, I ordered them and then the person said they were out of that many green ones so I need to order again, Also I still haven’t gotten the keys back off

>>13629933
Doesn't that hold (or at least held) the record for power reserve in a watch?

I'm thinking of picking up the Orient Ray II or Mako II. Any opinions on either of them? Pic is the Ray II

>>13629906
Why are the OP's always digital watches? I love a good digital but this is kind of silly now.

I want /wt/ to go back to /g/

>>13630007
worst coin edged bezel in the industry i hear. I love any watch with that "swordfish" seconds hand though.

>>13629992
Assuming you're talking about watches that use mainsprings as the source of energy, I believe it still holds the record (with 11 mainsprings, it had sort of better). Parmigiani had a concept watch with a 70 day reserve but I don't think it ever made it to commercial production. De Bethune and greubel forsey had plans for exotic long pr designs as well but I don't think they've made it to the wroking prototype stage.

>>13630007
Ugly as fuck, the finishing looks really cheap in pictures too.

>>13630017
Some troll likes to make OP's with the worst watches possible.

>>13629938
I have a 16570 Exp II because of Archieluxury.

>>13630023
i had chicken parmigiani for dinner last night

>>13630029

>>13630051
Are you a top or bottom?

Just got a Raketa 24h, unfortunately with "Raketa" and "Made in Russia" instead of cyrillic but still for 25 EUR it's worth it since I'm 100% that it's the 2923H movement and it's working

Any recommendations on straps? Right now it's on a fugly fashion watch "leather" strap

>>13630076
I had this failed Raketa calendar watch on an expanding bracelet, I think you should do the same.

>>13629933
>getting dubs but not wearing 2 watches
LMAO step it up pleb

>>13630076
Update: I found a Timex strap lying in a drawer and swapped it. It looks cool, I may keep it
Sorry for the terrible lighting

>>13630084
Nice! If I find one for cheap I'll definitely try it!

>>13630115

>>13629934
Id probably pay $10 for that right now, just on the looks without knowing anything about it. It looks really cozy in a way I can't articulate.

Can anyone identify this watch?

>>13630135
Yeah it's a fucking shitter.

>>13629906

Kill yourself.

All right wt I finally bought my first digital watch.

Just won an auction for pic related. Thanks for your help on finding one, /wt/.

>>13630213
what the hell is that?

>>13630218
It's just what it looks like, it is a water-powered watch.

A quality leather strap looks nice but you need to take care of it. You know that oil you use to treat your leather shoes and bike saddle? Light treatment on the strap as well. Just a dab will do.

>>13630239
So it's a watch with a internal battery that you just have to get wet to work.

>>13630262
Yep, it's a watch with a wet cell.

>>13630105
Castro

Need a dressy watch to round out my collection. Is this a good colorway, or should I just get something a bit more plain?

I really like it, but it also seems like it might not go well for dressier occasions as well as a more neutral colored dial.

Fixed the grid.

>>13630142

>>13630142

>>13630325
I love that watch except the roman numbers.
If you like it you should get it.

Do you guys like vintage digital watches?

>>13630409
They're okay

>>13630409
Yes.

>>13630419
Thanks :)

>>13630007
I like the Ray over the Mako personally. Even at the nice prices I would spend a little more and get Seiko Skx007 or 009

>>13630409
Literally my favourite.

Is this watch /fa/, boys?

>>13629906
Is vintage the way to go if you are looking at dress watches ~38mm and under 200? I read that you can get some good deals since everybody wants larger watches. I have skinny wrists.

>>13630442
you should be assuming vintage watches will require a service, which will almost certainly push the full cost well above $200.

>>13630439
yes

>>13630409
absolutely

>>13629906
watch newfag here.
I always hated wearing watches but recently on vacation i bought a shitty fake iwc from some darky and now i like watches and want to get started on the path.

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?

>>13630568
>(if somebody could tell me what the 4th hand does that would be much appreciated)
It's a GMT function, you set it to another time zone so you know the time in two countries (three if the watch also has a rotating 24 hour bezel).

Looks like the shit you're into is somewhere between dress and field watches. You could try a Hamilton or something of the sort.

>>13630568
> What does the fourth hand do
> Watch literally says GMT on it
It's a GMT hand, it tells time in a second time zone

> I only want to spend a few hundred dollars max for my first purchase.
Then your choices are quite limited. If it helps I made a list of watches that I would consider viable choices that can be bought new for under 300usd.

>>13630586
is a timex waterbury a meme because you can pick them up for around $50

>>13630592
It's Quartz, immediate shitter status.

There are a bunch of 40mm Seikos with automatic movements in the same style as that Timex for around the same money.

>>13630592
Nah
Get it

There is nothing wrong with quartz

Absolute watch-pleb here

What’s the best French entry-level brand for mechanical watches?

>>13630626
Cartier.

>>13630626
Cartier.

What's the chance the stories and donations he reads out aren't really other people and he just writes them all himself?

>>13630626
I'm not sure there are any; entry level is mainly handled on the Japanese side, and some small German and American brands. France is all mid tier and high end really.

>>13630634
Probably 0.
Conspiracies are retarded.

>>13630631
>>13630632
Is Cartier considered entry level?

>>13630642
Cartier is bottom of the barrel entry level.

>>13630634
Given the number of autists in /wt/ who would post *exactly* those kind of stories I think it's very unlikely.

>>13630610
Have you ever unironically used that tachymeter?

>>13630645
I guess on the mechanical side, you're absolutely right.

>>13630642
Cartier are a legit watchmaker and have a long history of making great watches. When it comes to French mechanical watches they do make some of the cheapest options, and some of the most expensive.

>>13630652
It’s a style, dumb bitch.
Fuck you’re stupid asking that in a watch thread.

>>13630631
>>13630632
not a watchmaker. fashion brand shit.

>>13630659
It's also a crowded and illegible dial.

>>13630652
Have you ever done deep sea scuba in your diver and actually used it? Yeah, didn't think so

yes I sometimes use them at work to trak how many parts I can manufacure per hour.

>>13630705
Well... alright then

>>13630673
The I’m fully down the rabbit hole of vintage Japanese quartz in general and this fits the bill even though it’s not vintage.

>>13630731
Besides the new overly blingy metal G-Shock models, its the only steel cased, steel bracelet LCD quartz with radio atomic sync and an electroluminescent backlight ever made, as far as I know.

>he owns a moonwatch

>>13630117
Mediocre.

Why the fuck are rolex prices so inflated nowadays? I just got into watches and my father's gmt master 2 is nearly double the price it was when he got it.

Are there any leather band watches similar to Citizen that dont have a large case? I dont think i can pull off the big cases like pic related, or am i okay?

>>13630999
Because Rolex is the best marketed brand on the planet and they've started to cause deliberate production shortages to create hype.

>>13630999
Brand cachet and the also the factory new models have gone up as well, taking the vintage pieces with them.

What GMT does your dad have? Do you know the reference #?

>>13631016
I do not, I'll check it out the next time I go to his house, it's from 2006 though.

>>13631013
Is it really production shortages? I thought it was the matter of the new ones being so expensive

>new sub starts at $8k
>"i'll look preowned" - says everybody
>limited supply, increased demand = high prices

Plus the economy is on an upturn lately, at least in the US. More money, more disposable income for luxury preowned watches in general.

>>13631021
If it is indeed a 2006 model, it would have to be some form of a 16710. Stainless steel? Red/black or red/blue bezel?

Those are pretty desirable atm. The new models are insane, and a lot of people prefer the non-squared proportions of the older models

>>13631029
The prices have been increasing since before the upturn, I think you're mostly right but it probably also has to do with waiting lists
>I want a GMT master
>Oh I have to wait three years guess I'll look vintage

>>13631035
Stainless steel and black only.
That does make sense, thanks for the info.

>>13630664

can someone explain this?

>>13631057
Tasteless rappers will buy anything with a ton of diamonds in it. What else is new?

>>13631040
>waiting lists
Did not know that was happening.

Just checked prices on the 16570. HOLY SHIT, most are $5500 approaching 6k. Unless they were the transitional model with the 3186 caliber, that was unheard of about 4 years ago.

>>13631057
You can make money from rich tasteless assholes.

>>13631043
No problem.

I LOVE the 16710, it's, in my non-expert opinion, the best incarnation of the GMT. I like the "pepsi" version, personally.

The most popular Rolex models tend to be the sub and gmt. The Stainless steel Oyster sports watches, in general, tend to hold their value well. The GMT and Submariner especially.

If he has the original box and papers, he could probably squeeze at least a few extra hundred out of the deal if he ever decided to sell it. If he has kept it maintained by either a Rolex Service Center, or even an indie with a Rolex Spare Parts account, that has replaced any worn out bits with genuine Rolex parts, he's in very good shape.

Anyway, I'm kinda drunk, I love the 16710. Good for your dad.

>>13631057
Brand cachet, blood diamonds, and rich black dudes. You should buy it.

>>13631129
>16710
It's shit, sorry bro.

>clasp and bracelet are junk
>pepsi colors are too loud
>crown and guards too small
>bezel font is atrociously boring (and that shit is aluminium)

Overall I'd give the watch a 4/10, the new pepsi vomits in the face of the old one.

>>13631054
I am so glad that Cartier has been making watches with an aesthetic that aren't for gay men or rich trophy wives.

>>13631134
You're an obvious troll but...
>clasp and bracelet are junk
Non SEL, yes. Post 2003 SEL, fine
>pepsi colors are too loud
It's always been kinda loud, that's the point of a GMT
>crown and guards too small
The new giant crown ruins the proportions, despite being technically more pragmatic for quick setting when changing timezones.
>bezel font is atrociously boring (and that shit is aluminium
Why you gotta talk shit about aluminum? Also, Rolex in general, has always been pretty boring post 1990. It's about a versatile tool watch that you can wear at any occasion, and it can take a beating

>>13631153
>versatile tool watch
>modern rolex

Nigga this shit is strictly jewellery and don't act like it's anything else.

I really wanna cop this, but it seems pretty big. My wrists are 6.5".

A few threads ago there was a discussion about finding a modern non japanese watch that uses acrylic instead of sapphire. Several were offered up, all which failed to meet the increasingly arbitrary qualifications of the sapphire advocate. I have just encountered another to submit. Junghans Meister Telemeter Chronoscope 027/3381.44

>>13631367
What is it about that curved edge to the hands and hour markers that makes a cheap watch look like such a fucking shitter? There's really no better indicator of a cheap watch that I can think of, the look disappears entirely once you pass the $500 or so mark.

Pic related another example.

Are components that look like this made by a different process? Stamped maybe instead of machined or something?

Guys how the FUCK do I open this fucking SHITTER piece of SHIT

I can't get any fucking purchase whatsoever in the seam on the back. Motherfucker is basically flat with no screws or indents.

I can take the front ring off with the degrees but underneath there was just rust and grime and no further way to disassemble it

Google didn't help because I'm 85 IQ. I have a $20 watch kit from ebay.

Help a hapless retard out here

>>13631536
Use a caseback knife to pry it off. Carefully.

>>13631536
Use a rubber ball you dumb bitch.

>ceramic bracelet

I mean, it looks cool, but that seems like a bad idea to me.

>>13631544
This might be a retarded question but where can I buy a rubber ball?

>>13631554
Just don't hit it hard enough to crack the ceramic. Otherwise it's extremely scratch resistant. It's analogous to the tradeoff with a sapphire crystal (harder to scratch, but more shatter prone than acrylic).

>>13630626

You could look up Baltic, they make a nice thing for a reasonable price. Lip also makes automatic and quartz chronographs.

key to showing off fake rolexs with date windows, never show the date window nearly head on, you can easily see the off font.

>>13631738
There's way more obvious shit on that thing than the date.

>>13631444
take >>13630311 for example, they took the picture at such an angle that you can barely see the date window, although the font does look authentic, it is a bit far to the left, but the picture makes that hard to tell.

>>13631742
besides the magnification of the date window and date font, what is there that is wrong with it?

>>13630311
That two plus a gshock = perfect collection.

>>13631367
it has fake subdials ffs its cheap 1 dollar aliexpress shit.

>>13631012
When looking at watches you reaaaally need to try and put the band/bracelet out of mind. It's much easier said than done even for seasoned collectors... whatever is on the watch in the picture seeps into the crevices of your mind and can influence how you feel about the watch.

I think the Rolex explorer as it appears in most photos with the steel bracelet is boring as fuck and even ugly, but on a leather band it becomes classy and elegant.

Just look for the watches/cases you like, buy it and then stick whatever strap/band/bracelet you like on it, ideally after googling for pics of the watch with said bands.

>>13630659
>style
HAHAHAHA
>>13630668
>he doesnt go swimming and diving with his diver

>>13631444

>>13631752
This is what I reckon I could narrow my collection down to.

>>13631760
>I think the Rolex explorer as it appears in most photos with the steel bracelet is boring as fuck and even ugly, but on a leather band, it becomes classy and elegant.
I agree. Almost every watch looks better on a leather strap but for very sharp metallic designs (I wouldn't like a Royal Oak on a leather strap for example, if such a thing is even possible)

There's a post on reddit saying the Trump admin is gonna get rid of the atomic clock station in Colorado to save on budget.

>>13631837
Nowadays, with GPS, is mostly useless.

>>13631880
tell that to everyone with a multiband 6 watch like >>13631773

>>13631773
Agree. Pic related.

But to be honest the top three in pic is what i WOULD reduce collection to, but i COULD live with only the little Seiko 7T42 at the botto.: quartz, lightweight, 150m wr, diving bezel, tachymeter, alarm, timer, chrono, dual time, date, 38mm. From gym or beach to a suit; two tone so can pair with any metal you wear, 20mm strap. Not the best for anything, but my choice when i travel etc.

>>13631882

You don’t race with your daytona.

So I'm a wristlet looking towards vintage for a dress watch, like how a lot of the luch 2209 look.

Completely lost as to how much I should expect to pay though, or even where to buy them. Etsy doesn't seem bad, and the sellers seem to actually be on top of their shit, but anybody have any experience?

>>13631745
the yachtmaster bezel is cartoonishly bad, in particular.

>>13631981
Get a replica. They’re indistinguishable from the real thing until you get the case open.

>>13632006
> Wearing a watch with a plastic case.

Just get out.

>>13632007
Never buy anything from etsy, 99% of the time they are overpriced compared to ebay.
2209movement.com is your key to find a genuine one.

You should be able to get a decent condition poljot on ebay for 60 to 100 bucks and a similar luch for 30 to 70 bucks.

>>13632006
What are you some kind of manly man?

>>13632011

What do you guys think of reps?

>>13632016
That's a no

>>13632011
You like the Rolex because it is a Rolex, admit it or not. So if you buy a FAKE you know you dont own the thing, cheating yourself is retarded.

And if you like the look for itself, buy a sterile dial (no name on it).

Just yesterday i saw a guy wearing fake Prada glasses and fake Hublot Big Bang... he looked absolutly retarded and i instantly asumed he was a moron.

>>13632024
Shit for the weak-minded without self respect.

>>13632024
if you can barely afford to put together $300 for a replica no one will believe you have a watch worth $5000.

No one gives a fuck what watch you have so why buy a dirty rep when you can treat yourself with a nice lcd digital timepiece?

>>13632025
That’s not the same watch.

>>13631946
should have bought a vintage one with a crown and steel case

>>13632024
I have a mixture of genuine and replica watches. I bought genuine watches which have bad reps so that people can tell it’s real and naturally people believe that if you buy at least one >$3000 watch that you’ll buy more.
I honestly enjoy the reps just as much as the genuine ones and the cold hard truth is that it’s staggering how similar they feel in quality compared to the cost.

>>13632040
the casio is my beater, nearly all my watches are stainless steel

>>13632048
So you put on the shit watch to pretend that you have a shit life even though you have other nice watches?

>>13632051
Why wouldnt he? I own a few expensive watches and i still enjoy my McFly (pic). So light, thin and cool...

>>13632051
nice try baiting me to a pointless argument bro, take a (you)

>>13632058
Even though most people think this watch is cringy and autistic, I haven't met a person with that watch who isn't cool

Is this the best looking quartz movement there is?

>>13632067
that looks good, but no, it is not the best.

What does /wt/ think of this absolute stunner?

>>13632064
Me.
I had that watch when I was 8. And I’m not cool ( ._.)

>>13632044
looks cool too, but i already have so many steel digital watches so i wanted to mix it up.

>>13632047
This shtick doesn't work on people who actually know something about mechanical movements, external finishing, and quality control. It's just transparently obvious bait.

>>13632091
Post your other watches

>>13632058
I had one of those for nearly 10yrs until the circuit just kinda died. I've got a Rolex now, but every time I see one of those, I miss it, and wish I still had it

It's crazy how much a different strap can improve a watch. I swapped out the strap for (not even that nice of) a leather strap, and it made this seiko look tons better. Glad I went with the beige dial.

>>13632092
I’m telling you you couldn’t tell my Datejust isn’t real if you were holding it.
Replicas are getting better. In 10 years it’s going to be fucking insane and the mountain Jews will be in trouble.

So should this be construed as proof that this is Windy shitposting, since this is one of his shitposting images and and quoting other people's posts without adding any comments is a common Windy shitposting motif?

>>13632110
You have a point, but that can be a weird double edged sword.

I've come across a fair amount of dudes in cheap clothes; wrinkled polo or tee shirts, jeans, ball cap with genuine Rolexes on their wrists. Usually older guys though, so it kinda makes sense.

However, you'll see a lot of young dudes who make a serious effort to look nice in some trendy name brand shit, usually driving a newish Japanese luxury car, and the Rolex they're wearing is a fairly obvious counterfeit.

I've seen these things so many times. It's interesting.

>>13630135
get this instead

>>13632157
pls dont fake

>>13632167
How do those look irl? They don't look that bad in pics, but every Skeleton watch I've ever seen, that isn't a high-end luxo brand model pushing at least $20k+ never actually looks good.

>>13632139
you spend a lot of time thinking about windy

That’s so cool how it has a visible main spring.
How much is this watch?

Around 2000€

Shit. Not sure how to handle this situation. Aren't the $40 alibaba fakes literally from the same factory? Maybe I'll grab one of those. This is the watch she wants. https://www.danielwellington.com/tr/dw-watch-women-classic-petite-reading-black-rose-gold-32mm

Why are his thumbnails obnoxious click bait? Because he's a fucking cunt like every other youtuber

People are more interested in things they can actually afford to buy; more clicks that way.

Dude judging by those pictures you have to buss a nut inside that thing to get it working.

Do you wear that with the crown facing your fingers? Why is the dial oriented like that?

>>13632327
>Do you wear that with the crown facing your fingers? Why is the dial oriented like that?
It's just a stopgap thing to let you be able to wear a pocket watch as a wrist watch, it's not well thought out

How come, literally no one can fake Rolex magnification? It's always the biggest giveaway, and it seems like an easy thing to not fuck up, but everyone does.

>>13632373
only rolex does the cyclops right, nobody else can do it without making it look cheap for unknown reasons

>>13632338
Fawn
>>13632245
Yawn

>>13632373
Because the crystal used to get that kind of magnification is expensive.

If you wear glass you would know that lens with the highest refractive index are also the most costly.

>>13631606
Nice

>>13632382
Why

>>13632376
Now, that I think of it, even legit makers like Seiko, can't quite get it as good. Literally no manufacturer on Earth except Rolex can seem to do it. It's just a little magnifier glued to the crystal. That's it.

>>13632394
Sup windy?
Post pics of this on a nato and post pics of your fairchild watch.

TIME For new bread!!!!!

POST FAST

NAO NAO NAO

>>13632399
I don't have any of that with me, Im at work right now but ill get on it soon

>>13632387
The highest index glass, 1.74 iirc, used in glasses is actually more expensive than gold by weight. There's a lot of material science involved. You can't reproduce the Rolex cyclops without using similar materials.

>>13632406
I have a fake rolex where the cyclops is not glued on but part of the glass crystal through and through and it's petty ok, at a glance it passes but yeah if you look close it's not as good

>>13632067
No.

Fucking poor fags and their shit OP watches.

>>13632406
Interesting. I've also noticed that Rolex Sapphire crystals tend to be very thick as well, a couple millimeters. Does that help with the magnification? Is the actual magnifier sapphire, like the crystal? Or something different?

>>13631746
Not the same anon but the hands look weird

>>13632439
The cyclops is separate to the main sapphire crystal. The sapphire doesn't magnify but the cyclops uses a combination of material and shape to produce at least a 2.5 magnification which for something that small is *very* high.

>>13632467
Thank you
