This was my great grandfather's retirement gift, or something. It's engraved "compliments of Local 65" on the back. It's only worth about $50-$100 tops according to eBay lol.

Any guys knowledgeable on Omega calibers have opinions on the newest planet oceans? Considering a 39.5 mm planet ocean but know nothing about the performance of the newer movements.

Lads talk to me about fakes, just found about about them and they even copy the movement finishing these days, it's honestly 1:1.
https://youtu.be/P_ZTqC2Yxxs

Why should I not buy one RIGHT now?

>>13666307
Because they have no QC and are poorly finished even for the price they are at, and you're delusional if you think a chink can make a reliable 3135.

Fakes wouldn't be bad at all if they had actual QC and didn't have the brand name of the watch they were ripping off written on. I'm thinking about buying a ARFmariner and putting a genuine ETA 2824 in and sterile or custom dial.

why the f91w?

Should I go date or no date? Logo or no logo? Either way, it's rad that Stowa offers so much customization out the door.

>>13666324
>Because they have no QC
actually if you buy from a place like "InTimeWatch" they will send you pictures of the watch and a reading from a watch timer for you to decide whether you want it or not.

Personally I think I'm getting a Black Bay Heritage with an A2824 soon for like $300. Plan to throw it on a Nato strap and bash it around.

>>13666484
No date no logo

>>13666484
Wtf just get a Timex

>>13666484
Just get the Tisell with the 9015 for $210 + a Stowa strap for $20 and spend the saved money on another style of watch you also want.

>>13666361

You're a fucking retard and don't understand what production QC is.

Go buy one.

>>13666544
I know what production QC is. My point is that it isn't a blind buy like you are implying. You do get to see what you buy before you buy it and you have to okay whatever they send you before it's too late to back out.

Wasn't this in /g/?

Where I can find metal band for my Orient ray?

It works

My Tag Heuer Aquaracer broke after 12 years of use. Gotta pay 500 dollars for a complete service which is okay considering I've never had a problem with the watch before now.

However, I'm buying myself a Glashutte PanoMaticInverse for Christmas. Will cost around 22k to import from Germany. So hyped!

Question for Canadian anon, if you get a KS with a 5621, you wouldn't have a problem with the plastic day-date rocker right?

>>13666935
I'm not him but since that watch doesn't have a date, correct.

>>13666939
sorry I meant if there would be any other plastic parts that might cause a problem

>>13666945
No, you should be fine

>>13666928
500/12 = 42
Not too bad for cost per year 2bh

>>13666928
My car is cheaper than that.
Enjoy.

>>13666928
lmao, these are the dumbest purchases.

>>13667017
The Glashutte being German is undervalued, but the craftsmanship that goes into each piece is of a calibre that definitely is deserving of the term masterpiece. Lange & Sohne also fall into the same category of being undervalued

The Aquaracer is the only watch I would buy from Tag Heuer. I wear it on days that I know will get many scratches.

>>13666968
yeah, I'm happy with that

>>13666993
thanks!

>>13667074
>The Glashutte being German is undervalued, but the craftsmanship that goes into each piece is of a calibre that definitely is deserving of the term masterpiece. Lange & Sohne also fall into the same category of being undervalued

This was not a dig at german watches. It was a dig at the very concept of any watch that costs more than 10k and tasteless vapid people that buy them.

>>13665967

Look, no one is going to outlaw this moron from buying his ridiculous status symbol but the idea that he should be immune from criticism for it is absurd.

>>13667129

>ridiculous status symbol

it's a piece of jewellery ffs. he kept away from all the notorious Swiss luxury watches so it ain't no status symbol.

>>13667129
Your criticism is about the price.
At least critic the watch for any credibility.

>>13667141
>>13667149
>he kept away from all the notorious Swiss luxury watches so it ain't no status symbol.
Look, dude. Drop the act. There ain't fucking no one in the world up at 1am defending your watch choice on 4chan but you.

Spending $22,000 on a watch is a hint you spend too much time thinking about watches. Maybe the only circumstance under which buying a watch for over $10,000 would be if the watch has historical value.

I'm here to disabuse you of the lie that you are telling yourself that as a tasteless fucker that makes a lot of money you "need" something to set yourself apart from the other million tasteless fuckers that make a lot of money that wear Cartier Tanks.

Get a grip, dude.

>>13667155
>I’m jealous of your money :D

>>13667155
You're funny, but you can also go fuck yourself poorfag

>>13667159
>jealous of your money
Say what you will of me. This is invariably the argument that the tasteless with fragile egos and more money than sense make in order to save face.

You'd think having money would make people less rather than more fragile.

>>13667155
Buying watches over 10k is basically the only way you'll ever get to own proper timepieces that has been produced with the best care, handmade and beautiful finish. If you have the money for it, then why not spoil yourself with it? You sound like someone who has just decided that buying any watch over 10k is wrong, just because to you personally it is too much for a watch. But to others, it may be no big deal. You call it tasteless, just because you think it's too expensive it seems, which makes no sense.

Thoughts on Vincero watches?

>>13667174

>>13667170
>Buying watches over 10k is basically the only way you'll ever get to own proper timepieces that has been produced with the best care, handmade and beautiful finish.
This may be true apart from the "proper timepieces" part which is utterly meaningless but nonetheless does not move me in the slightest.

>If you have the money for it, then why not spoil yourself with it?
Like just imagine wanting to "spoil yourself". Self control is a sign of maturity utterly absent in 90% of people with money.

>You sound like someone who has just decided that buying any watch over 10k is wrong, just because to you personally it is too much for a watch.
I'd say it's immoral and disgusting, sure. Maybe not the most disgusting thing but certainly up there with the existence of stock buybacks as a gaudy symptom of a deeper societal issue.

>But to others, it may be no big deal.
Sure, these others are bad people.

>You call it tasteless, just because you think it's too expensive it seems, which makes no sense.
Oh, not merely due to the expense. The over complicated dial and movement along with baroque styling help.

It moves others.

You know nothing of his self control. You're assuming that if someone buy something expensive then they have no self control, it's stupid. Don't be a stupid person, ok?
>I'd say it's immoral and disgusting, sure.
This is ridiculous.

>>13667184
You are too rational for this thread,
You need to realize /wt/ is a hugbox for consumerists who seek external validation in their "community", kinda like drug addicts seeking validation from others by buying drugs and accessories for drugs, the dealers are just like watch makers.

>>13667204

Lol, it is nothing rational about larping about morality when it comes to consumerism, calling people who buy expensive stuff bad people. It's the opposite, it's irrational.

Not this again
> Companies should take investors' money and then never return it

>>13667192
>assblasted he doesn't have a rolex
I don't hate Rolex. Rolex does make some versions of their watches that are awful and only worn by awful people, sure. I'd say that's pretty uncontroversial. Rolexes however have a certain modesty to them. They offer precious metals, sure but they also specifically don't offer exhibition casebacks because their paying respect to their roots as a maker of tool watches back when mechanical timepieces weren't just a luxury good. (Note here that I don't hate exhibition casebacks, I'm just using it as an example of the Rolex corporate philosophy that is more respectable than most in the luxury watch world)

>>13667193
>mormon
Mormon? What? Ever heard of Mitt Romney? I wouldn't call mormons the bastions of modesty.

>>13667200
>It moves others.
Ah yes, the androids no doubt.

>You know nothing of his self control. You're assuming that if someone buy something expensive then they have no self control, it's stupid.
Excuse me, it's not merely expensive, it's also a gaudy, over-engineered, status symbol being bought by someone that probably likes to fancy themselves an aesthete (and has the fragile ego to match).

>>13667204
I'm a watch thread regular and love watches. These rich morons can handle a little criticism and if they can't I hope they off themselves and have to pay inheritance tax.

>>13667207
Oh, but they are bad people. Have you even met a rich person anon?

>>13667213
That's not what a stock buyback is for. Not sure we actually want to have a discussion about finance in this thread but I'd recommend you look up the connection between stock buybacks, share price and CEO salaries.

>>13667208
To some it goes to that extent, who the fuck saves up years for a watch and puts other things in his life on hold just to get that "grail" watch.

>>13667216
>Have you even met a rich person anon?
Yes, literally all the time.

I'm gonna call this bait & trolling. Either that or you are too stupid for me to talk with.

>>13667216
>Oh, but they are bad people. Have you even met a rich person anon?
Do you live in USA or eastern Europe by any chance?

>>13667216
Okay. I work as a quant on an equities flow derivs desk at a wall street bank but I'll crack open investopedia and educate myself I guess.

I assume your complaint is something along the lines of, "stock buybacks benefit all stock holders, whether they are holders who sell the stock or not, and CEOs are often levered synthetic stock holders through stock option compensation, and so buybacks represent a way to get their options in the money without actually producing additional economic value in the company, but just through synthetically reverse-splitting the stock", which is not a totally unreasonable complaint. That said, CEO (and other executive) option comp packages are generally made with the expectation that the options will go in the money, and the stock price in the market is generally diluted accordingly, so in all practical ways it's not so different from just holding levered stock outright.

I'm not sure what that has to do with buying and wearing expensive watches aside from "people think money is really important in our society and prioritize loudly having lots of money rather than focusing on what really matters" which, sure, coherent complaint.

Hating rich people is a common thing, really. It comes down to jealousy.

>>13667228
True, being successful is literally a crime these days.

>being blessed with a good IQ
>working your ass off for years on end

"muh white privilege"

>>13667222
>Yes, literally all the time.
Here's the hint that you're part of the problem.

I too know many rich people but I have not been wowed by their wealth.

My college roommate for instance is a lawyer in NYC making $300,000 per year. He's a decent enough guy but utterly miserable and overworked. He doesn't have enough time to be a human being so he buys things. He also neglects his girlfriend constantly and he's utterly unable to read social situations. He's what I would call the "working rich" a bad person mainly becuase he's had all that was human about himself beaten out of him by the desire to have "more".

Another roommate of mine on the other hand is a multimillionaire because he has inherited wealth from his parents who own a major retail chain in Vietnam. He has said to me things such as "A Tag Heuer is an okay watch for a young guy. Like 21-23. But if you still have a Tag after you're thirty you should kill yourself" Later he, along with another rich kid with saudi oil wealth told me they were going watch shopping on a whim with a limit of $2,000 so they could get a "decent watch" so they didn't have to take their Breuget with them on a safari.

I know, more mind you. These are just two fine examples of the main types.

>>13667224
USA, but I have of course met eastern european rich people as well. They are probably worse than US rich people.

>>13667227
>which is not a totally unreasonable complaint.
Thanks for agreeing with me, anon. BTW, I too used to work as a quant in the financial sector in NYC.

>>13667228
>>13667235
The egos are so fragile, it's really amazing.

>>13667245
>The egos are so fragile, it's really amazing.
Pretty much this.

>Criticize any choise they make
>Haha poorfag

>>13667245
The reality of my situation has nothing to do with fragile egos you putz. I got lucky and made a lot of money and people end up hating me for it...That's all

>There ain't fucking no one up in the world at 1am defending your watch
>spazzez out for over an hour at 1am about his watch choice
Oof

Imagine being so poor you get assblasted over watches.

>>13667245
I still wouldn't agree though that stock buybacks are "for" gaming executive comp. Companies aren't going out and buying back 30% of their stock in one go, and the overwhelming majority of corporate wealth is not synthetically owned by executives through option pay packages. The primary reason for buybcaks is to redistribute capital to investors so that it can be redeployed.

You could argue that shareholders shouldn't be entitled to all the profits of a company (say, the workers, or the government, or the local poor should get some), or that it shouldn't be the decision of the corporate board (generally not the CEO) when capital should be returned (though this seems like a really weird argument), but those are entirely different arguments. And in either case, I don't think it relates to the original issue - the thesis "owners of capital should decide how the capital is deployed" is different from "it is immoral to spend money to purchase luxury goods when so many have so little."

>>13667245
Prejudice. You have adopted the very common but completely irrational idea that rich people are less human and that they are bad because this or that. You know a couple of rich guys who do something you disapprove of, ok I get it. But whether you admit it or not, you know a ton of poor or middle class people who do things you disapprove of too, for example neglecting one's girlfriend which is something people from all classes do. That's because people are not perfect whether they are rich or poor. For me tho, I have no real life experiences of the behavior you talk about. The rich people I know are upstanding people who are good.

>>13667258
>Imagine being so insecure you get assblasted over other peoples watches.

>>13667254
>I got lucky and made a lot of money and people end up hating me for it.
This is a really hilarious response.

This is why it's obvious how fragile your ego is. You have all this money (according to yourself) and yet you are being upset because someone is offering a criticism of your value system. But if your value system was correct, you wouldn't care what I, an utterly anonymous mystery person, have to say. Yet you still feel the need to try and diminish me with the worst insult you can think of according to your value system (being poor).

It really underlines the problems with your whole worldview.

>>13667267
he is tudorfaggot, don't bother responding to him.

>>13667267
>decent watch
No, it's a great watch. The Seiko 5 is the hot watch right now, they are selling at like 2x list price on the grey market because they are so hot. You can't just go in a Seiko AD and buy one of these, its exclusive. I was lucky and got on a waiting list, took about four months for my AD to source one.

>>13667259
I do appreciate that you want to have this conversation and under normal circumstances probably would but I am not really up for it tonight. I'm laser focused on pissing off this guy that wants to buy the Glashutte plus I'm probably going to go to sleep soon. If you want, I'll concede that I was being hyperbolic in the statement.

>>13667260
>rich people are less human
No no no, not less human. Just worse people. Often the worst people are in fact the most human. The lowest, most desperate to survive person that will lie cheat and steal to do so often has a shitload more in common with the rich in terms of outlook. The difference is that it is more excusable when you have nothing.

>>13667258
>>13667264
This is good content.

>>13667265
He's not a bad guy when you can get him out of "lol look how rich I am" mode. But basically whenever I haven't seen him for months that's the way he acts for at least the first few hours.

>>13667266
He's a like a second year associate working in biglaw. That's a guess on his salary. It doesn't really matter if he makes more. He's told me before about how he hates that he never does anything but buy stuff he doesn't get to use. I'm sure anything over $300k would be equally useless to him.

You can say what you want about socialism but imagine if the nation's public library system were made by the private sector. There would be 100 libraries nationally, they'd only be in large cities, they would have yearly subscription fees in excess of $100 and they'd only stock Harry Potter and Twilight.

It looks fucking BAD dude. I understand that you’re really into watches and have spent hours looking at them and only pay attention to the craftsmanship of the individual parts, which I admit are gorgeous on that watch. But you need to take a big step back and just fucking look at the thing. It’s so fucking ugly. If you saw thing for $50 on AliExpress you’d rightfully regard it as a complete mess, visually. There is no balance. It looks like it should have “princess” in the name. Allow yourself to step out of the narrow bubble of prestige and craftsmanship and take an honest look

Omega watches of that period were not in any way haute horlogerie pieces. They were workhorse production movements with minimal finishing and made in enormous volume. They had very little in common with patek, vacheron, etc.

>>13667315
People excuse really horrible specs for the $ because of seiko on the dial. Like some normies know the name seiko, thats it, they are not "iconic" despite how many watch enthusiasts know the skx.

are all seiko 5s created equal? I want to get my first watch other than THAT casio. Want to get a seiko 5 with a simple face and buy a nice leather strap with it. Model Pictured is the SNK793.

>>13667755
I fell asleep looking at this picture.

>>13667755
great watch anon.

>>13667777
thanks, lad

>>13667749
appreciate this, thanks mate

>>13667783
also don't listen to haters.

How much did you pay for this and what is the ref?

>>13667761
>are all seiko 5s created equal?
Some of the most expensive models feature the cal. 4r36 instead of the 7s26. It's the same mov't with hacking and handwinding
Some models have a declared 50/100M water resistance, all the rest has only 30M(=moisture and splash resistant)

>>13665967
What particular watch or type of watch should I gift my driving instructor? He was an awesome dude and it's because of him, I achieved my driving license faster. I wanna gift him a good watch.

Give all your suggestions!

>>13667802
Budget?

>>13667789
2k

a new caliber, new construction, zaratsu polished, sapphire crystal etc.

Congrats man. A new watch is always fun!

>>13667761
>other than THAT casio.
wats wrong wit Casio?

>>13667806
Those are $2k?!! You’re joking right?
You can get a MOTFM or a Grand Seiko for that.
The Presage looks like a mall brand.

>>13667816
wait, where can you get a MOTFM for 2k?

Good morning wt

>>13667816
you don't know anything about the watch

>>13667823
I got mine for£2200. not far off.

>>13667825
so is it still running?
or did you have to water it again?

>>13667836
Looks like prices have gone up, I can't find anything for that price now

>>13667825
There it is!!!! Is it working well?

>>13667836
Isn't there a bit of a difference though in exchange? pounds to dollars is a bit of a change....especially if going to CAN vs. USD...though it should be possible to get one heavily used at that price...

>>13667825
Take no offense my friend, but imagining some adult office worker wearing that makes me laugh a bit.

>>13667843
His collection is quite large and interesting Anon. Not everyone wears watches for others...he wears them for himself. Given that people today don't wear watches as a necessity anymore, the perception of a timepiece has changed.

Have you ever seen a water activated watch before? I haven't...and it would be interesting as hell to talk about it during a coffee break or something.

The world has changed.

>>13666935
Yeah, >>13666950 is correct. There aren't any plastic parts in the 56xx outside of the day/date mechanism, which a 5621 won't have.

>>13667837
Yep, still running since last night. Running a little under a second fast.

>>13667840
Works fine, buttons are a little mushy and hard to push

That's true, anyone comment anything about that?

>>13667155
Why even post in a watch thread if you don't have any capacity to appreciate haute horlogerie or the incredible level of craftsmanship that goes into producing haute horlogerie watches?

If you aren't capable of grasping why someone would appreciate fine watchmaking in and of itself and not as a status symbol, that's your own ignorance.

>>13667877
No, no one ever notices watches (aside from my colleague who is also a collector).

>>13667309

>>13667755
It pains me that you don't have a DSLR and a macro lens to really capture the external finishing on that watch.

>>13667816
That limited edition is externally finished to Grand Seiko standards and has an ETA 2892-A2 top grade equivalent movement.

>>13667893
It may be a gem but as dull as fuck and completely uninspiring.
If you love it though dude then all power to you. I appreciate many Seikos.

>>13667825
You're my new favorite poster
The idea of having to water your watch is extremely comfy
Let me know if you find another one to sell

>>13667907
Why can't they make watches like that Seiko anymore?
Looks much better than those other jew shitters around it

Is there a nice alternative to seiko sarb? Something a bit nicer perhaps? What are some good-tier seiko watches?

Take the handwound movement, no logo, no date (personally I like the date at 6 as it breaks up the dial while preserving the symmetry, but that's just me)

I'm not the guy who bought it, I just know why it's priced the way it is. Though I agree they shouldn't have called it a Presage as it shares nothing in common with the rest of the Presage line besides styling cues.

>>13667890
I know, it sucks ;-;

Thoughts about pic related?

>>13667958
this
it's so confusing, I was sure that was a less than 500 bucks watch, thats why I asked for the ref because the finishing would be awesome for dat prize!
yet I don't know if I would pay 2k for a better pressage.
Still awesome looking watch!

>>13667963
do you like it? for me, it's too kitschy

>>13667963
I prefer to drink out of the bottle

>>13667503
Actually, that watch isn't obscenely expensive and looks way better than the one from out friend in Glashutte.

>>13667519
Oh no, Anon. There are many many things wrong with Rich people including and especially an almost Universal lack of taste.

>>13667528
It's not just people with inherited wealth, to be clear. There are plenty of people that honestly did work hard and then became rich that are completely out of touch and moronic. By the middle of their lives they start to assume there was some divine cosmic justice at play that made them rich because of a natural tendency in their person to be better than everyone else. These people are often as bad or worse than rich people that have always been rich.

>>13667630
I think they're very nice but that doesn't make them any less obscene and if you truly decide to spend 15k on a three hander you're a really bad person.

>>13667878
Oh please, he doesn't know shit about watches. He has money and wants to show off in his particular area of interest. He's not an aesthete, he's a fucking deskworm that is so committed to spending thousands on tasteless watched that he wanted to samefag responses revereing his choice. He may not even have the money to buy it and is just LARPing being a rich person with no taste.

I appreciate fine engineering but ask yourself, does "fine finishing" and the use of precious metals actually add anything to the mechanical value of the watch? No. It means if anything that the buyer is sure to only wear the watch 3 days a year.

Try living for one year without access to your funds on only the money you get from a minimum wage job. It'll do wonders for who you are as a person as well as your perspective on society.

>>13668019
I have a job/career and I do live off my own money. I've had help getting established, but I live very normal other than that.

>>13668013
Fuck, I should cop one of these.
I have this vintage orient shitter which is a pretty good analog quartz by todays standards, got 6 or 8 jewels and a trimmer cap.
I just don't like the black dial (have owned enough shitters with a black dial) and the hooded lugs are not my thing.

>>13667963
I have one. Very beautiful dial. The finishing on the hands and the hour markers are exquisite. I hope to sell mine.

>>13668019
not the guy you are arguing with but I guess I was born in a kinda similar situation.

My dad works for Audi as one of there top managers. He works 80h+/week and earn a lot. I have no clue what his job is, because he is not allowed to talk about it.
So I was very used to luxury my hole damn live, my mom cooked two meals every day, they are driving the newest cars all the time.
I was used to go out for dinner twice on the weekend to exclusive restraunts and shopping tour on saturday.

Yet I turned out to be to complete opposite. I don't care for new expensive stuff, I only went to secondary modern school and starting working in the metal industry afterwards because I never wanted to earn much money, because I saw my hole live that my parents have a lot and yet they are unhappy. I don't care for expensive stuff, since I earn only 37k/year but this is still awesome because I only do 36h/week. I don't care if someone is rich or living on the strees, I hate all people equaly.

My parents don't give me any money, I live together with one of my best friends and my girlfriend and pay the bills on our own. I ride my bike to work, because I don't want to drive my car unnecessarily and never go out to eat.
I have almost no funds because I am shopping addicted and spend almost all my money on vintage watches and knifes.

My sister however is abusing my parents to the max. She goes shoping twice/weekend paid completely by parents. She travels of to other countrys for holiday, also paid by parents. She only wears designer stuff and would never go out of the house with no makeup on. Got a new car 2 years ago and allready started complaining she needs a new one.

>I hate my sister


So I kinda lost my point here, I think what I was trying to say is, that money is ruining a lot in this world, yet there are wealthy guys who stay on the ground, not falling for the expensive meme.

The timekeeping is marginal for a quartz watch but it's not horrible, looks like it's doing around 1spd. I was concerned it wasn't working when I first watered it - it takes a good five to ten minutes to start seeing things on the LCD screen.

>>13667918
I'm not actively looking but they don't seem super uncommon; shouldn't be hard to find one.

>>13668253
Could you explain what you find appealing about that watch's design? I'm a bit of a watch novice and I just see a fuck-ugly, bulky hunk of metal. The font of the numbers is ridiculous looking, the watch face is super loud, and it looks like it's fucking massive, i.e. can only be pulled off by fatties who look like shit anyways.
What am I missing? I find myself hating most watch designs that are commonly held in high regard

>>13668236
Fuck, this band looks perfect but I can't find it sold individually anywhere

>>13668255
It's a dive watch. It's meant for diving. The reason the markers are big is so the lume can show the time while diving. The reason there is a pip on the second hand is so you can make sure the hands are moving in the dark under water.

Also there is a very nice strip on the knob you use to wind the watch, this strip lets you know the knob is screwed down after winding so you don't go in the water with the crown loose.

These watches are for active men who are PADI divers, not for wearing with skinny jeans

>>13668267
I'm sure it's a great watch in terms of functionality, I don't doubt that at all. But many people seem to appreciate its aesthetics on their own. I can't imagine that much more than 20% of the people who buy that watch actually take it diving. There's another reason people are buying

>>13668262
> A polished turd is still a turd

>>13668272
I doubt more than 20% of super car owners take their cars on track days, If you don't buy it as a tool to do a job, you buy it because you appreciate the engineering and design behind it, obviously beauty is subjective and divers aren't for everyone.

>>13668272
people buy dive watches to wear around town because they are seen and more durable than a dress watch, kind of like why people buy jeeps but might not take them mudding every day

however in a pinch you should be better off in your jeep than your neighbor is in her accord if there is a flood or something

this?

It's here /fa/! My luch 2209 came earlier than expected.

This is a sexy watch. The case is in good condition, no scratches, and it is a great size for this. Seems to be in good mechanical condition, as far as I can tell. Skipped a few seconds at first, but now that I've let it run for ~10 minutes it's fine, so maybe just needs to be wound a little less. Overall, I'm REALLY happy with it. One complaint is that its pretty noisy, kind of like the weekender just maybe not as bad.

>>13668262
A black metal bracelet, aka dlc coated steel bracelet will not work with the f-91w.
You're better off just using the original or buying a black fabric strap for it.

>>13668289
or this?

>>13668292
Why not? It seems like any 18mm spring bar band would work alright. It there just not enough clearance or something?

>>13668304
>what am i missing

>>13668316
Vostoks are literally like $80 and below lol, and good luck finding a diver with 200m resistance for that price on amazon, not to mention vostok do actually have horological merit.

>>13668325
You're missing the point, sir

>>13668307
It's honestly everything I want in a watch like this. A classy design without being a fuck huge watch. Gotta hand it to the soviets, they knew how to make a watch.

>>13667933
Seiko SARX. Same movement (6r15), better fit and finishing, but more expensive.

>>13668326
How could you not like the Cyrillic writing and the coarse Soviet era design? It literally evokes a feeling of being from another time. It is also easily modable which makes it fun.

>>13668331
Can't go wrong with a soviet 2209, probably the best widely available soviet three hand movement.
The design is awesome, I agree. Only complaint is the weirdly bold VII.

>>13668304
Thanks, was hoping I'd get one reply and then some faggot would derail it forever. No one stated that specific case was universally loved, it's a steel rectangle, plenty of people don't like other than you and they don't WONDER WHAT THEIR MISSING?!?

>>13668291
I enjoy my 2209 too

I find some Soviet watches to be really cool

>>13668337
The cyrillic is the one aspect I do like. The hands of the second watch posted are pretty good too. Beyond that, I'm at a loss. The shape of the case versus the shape of the watchface is enough to turn me off entirely

>>13667815
by THAT casio I meant the terror watch

>>13668326
When I asked you to post something you like to look of, I was asking because i'm genuinely interested to see what watches you like, and explain to me the reasons why.

>Tell me exactly what about it would catch your eye as a pretty watch

I don't find the watch anon posted particularly attractive either, but I do like other Amphibia's and Seiko's. It's difficult to explain exactly why you like the look of something, as I said earlier it's personal preference, you either love it or hate it. I suppose I find divers attractive because of their pure functionality, the fact they can take a beating while still (imo) looking nice.

>>13668346
There's no way the connotation still holds in 2018

>>13668344
shit thats nice.
dunno if id be able to get used to a 24h dial

>>13668351
Yeah it looks extremely confusing to read even for a Euro
But it really looks cool, even if I dislike commies

>>13668349
I like almost all vostok dials, but the case form is just not appealing to me.

>not the guy your are arguing with

>>13668345
I admit that he chose a pretty ugly one lmao but if you do a quick search you can find some pretty tasteful designs from vostok.

>>13668352
Why are there no based and redpilled swastika watches?

>>13665967
What's the most effay sports watch? Want something as a daily driver that's minimal, sharp, and functional as a running watch.I currently have a white Garmin FR620.

Many of the rest I just don't understand at all. 80% of Seiko watches look horrendously cheap to me, for example. I wouldn't wear most of them if they were given to me for free

>>13668352
That one is so cool.
Looks like fucking Commie gobbledygook.

>>13668369

>>13668366
powerwatch for powerbottoms

>>13668343
Yeah, I really like everything about this watch. I might try and grab another 2209 in a more casual style now. They're a steal for the price, and I imagine they'll run for a long time if taken care of.

>>13668033
>I have a job/career and I do live off my own money.
You have completely missed my point.

>I've had help getting established, but I live very normal other than that.
The help getting established is the point here. I have another great example. My mother and her three siblings all complain about Taxes and the Gubment and Unions but my grandpa was a union boss at a factory in the 1950s when he had them. He and my grandmother were able to put all four of them though college without them incurring any cost whatsoever due to the fact that they had good paying union jobs and a pretty substantial social safety net from my Grandpa's military service. Of course, if you might ask them about wether they think they got help or any lucky circumstances in life that helped them get where they are now, they would largely say no.

>>13668112
>There are wealthy guys who stay on the ground, not falling for the expensive meme.

I wouldn't argue otherwise. But when you have money/power for an extended period of time, It's really easy to get the view that you don't just have the money, but you deserve the money and that other people, people that have gotten less deserve to have less.

>>13668377
true dat
paid less than 30 eurobucks for mine
runns 14sek off/day after regulating a bit

>>13668359
just get a f-91w and paint a red swastika on the strap

This was a lot of fucking work for a half intermediate step in the finishing

>>13668369
I have that exact watch in NOS condition and am looking to sell. Comes on a flamenco NATO.

>>13668385
>This was a lot of fucking work for a half intermediate step in the finishing
Ah the joys of hand finishing metals, eh?

>>13668379
>people that have gotten less deserve to have less

I think all money should be split almost equal between all people, the ones doing community services get a little extra.

People would only do what they love, not only what they need to do to survive.

>>13668385
I feel ya bro.
Handfinished a knife once at it took me hours to be ssatisfied with the result.
I work in the metal industry so I had the right tools, still a great finish needs a lot of time.

>>13668374
It's not specified
Until the final victory of socialism, perhaps?

>>13668379
>You have completely missed my point.
Seems like your point is that because I got help getting established then I'm a bad person. Even tho you know nothing else about me or about my personality. I realize I might reply to a troll, like others have pointed out ITT, but you really shouldn't be so judgemental.

>>13668391
