Tudor have some nice dressy but 100m wr with screw-down crown watches that are forgotten with all the in-house and Black Bay hype. They are equipped with top grade ETA 2824 (date), 2834 (day and date) or 2892+modules (complications).

This is one of them, (2892+big date module). But the fluted bezel Tudor Style(2824 date only) is very good looking too. Specially the one with the yellow gold bezel (is finished as unreal as a Rolex DJ's).

What do you guys think about those?

>>13711899
Why do you only have 7 watches in that box and one watch without a strap?

>>13711909
Said Tudor Style.

These are so fucking hard to set up after reassembling. I managed to finally get it to tick. Backwards.

The service sheet actually tells me not to touch any of the eccentrics, and I did not on the other one I have. That runs fine, but it needs a new seconds hand, since the original had a split tube.

What is the best way to clean this watch, /fa/?

>>13711930
just fakin bin it faggot

>>13711917
Too bad it’s as thicc as gaga’s butt.
I like the tudor

>>13711935
why? it is dirty and the glass isn't very good, but it is great

>>13711940
Take it to a professional. Also you'll probably want a new band.

Its salvageable for sure

>>13711936
The Style must be only like 10mm (good for 100m WR). Not like the monstruosly THICC Black Bays.

What's the best place and way to sell a Swiss luxury watch? I've only bought, never sold before. Is eBay okay? What do I need to watch out for? No PayPal I guess?

>>13711984
Id check Chrono24 too.

I mean, i wouldnt buy a watch for an unknown guy on ebay; on Chrono24, maybe.

>>13712014
Okay.

Is it a problem that I bought it on the grey market? I guess I can't claim "papers", right? I mean I have an invoice but the warranty card isn't stamped.

>>13712019
Make it all clear in the description and you are good to go.

What watch is it btw?

>>13711984
eBay takes a substantial cut, unironically, reddit.com/r/watchexchange

>>13711337
I have one of Zeppelin's alarm chronographs.

Pros: very beautiful dial. Very easy to read. Feels solid on the wrist. All the hands land exactly on each and every marker, not between. Very precise. I've also gotten a few compliments while wearing them.

Cons: the lume is so-so. The case finishing is awful. Looks like a cheap stainless steel knife. There's an ugly QR code engraved on the back. It's pretty pricey for a Miyota movement, and their automatics are ridiculously overpriced. It's also pretty big at 45mm. Also, I don't think it's really made in Germany.

It's a "shitter" but it makes for a good looking beater watch. If you can find one on sale for less than $300 I say go for it. I don't think they're worth the full price.

>>13711984
I've never used Chrono24 but that seems like the best place. I've sold stuff stuff on ebay but they take a 10% cut. I've tried reddit watch exchange but everyone there is a passive aggressive faggot who will downvote you if they don't like your price.

My Silverwave just arrived (pic is seller's). It's pretty nice, it has a screwdown crown and all. I'll only be able to open it up and inspect the movement tomorrow, but I'll try to restore this shitter back to swimproof. After that if it floods it floods, it's not like it's an original 62MAS or anything.

Anyone know any edgy watches? I want something really edgy, not buying a replica of this tho

>>13712259

>>13711593
But their alpha is ETA 2892 though. So we are forced to answer "yes" on that question.

>>13712259
10$ watch
10$ strap
You can thank me later

>>13712347
>But their alpha is ETA 2892 though.
What? Nomos Alpha is a handwinding movement. It's based on a Peseux 7001

>>13712347
no it's not

https://nomos-glashuette.com/en/manufacture/caliber/alpha

>>13712366
Well it's ETA at least

>>13712365
how is that edgy in any way? And it's stupid to put a f-91 on a nato

>>13712259
Wear a Rolex GMT without the bezel.

>>13712394
If it works it aint stupid. The most fragile part of a f91 is the strap, if you need to keep it on your wrist a zulu is a great solution.

>>13712407
Nah it's dumb, it's an iconic watch you should keep it on the resin. The thing has no weight or size to begin with, ya put it on a nato and it looks like a weird bracelet thing.

>>13712413
You see how provocateur it is? You are offended by the very idea that it is on a nato. Nothing more edgy than that.

>>13712425
I want shadow the hedgehog edgy, not pet peeve pandemonium

>>13712439
get a blacked out tag or a modded seiko

>>13712439
Do the Rolex GMT without bezel, or wear a Cartier Tank and dont wind it so its always at 10:10.

>>13712440
Fuck seiko, tho saying blacked out reminded me that my best option is probably a orient raven 2, but I probably wouldn't choose it over blue

>>13712452
I'm on /wt/ , I'm basicaly a retarded street peasant living in squalor with delusions of grandeur, I can do 300, maybe 500 max. If I had that money for a Rolex there wouldn't be darkness in my heart that needs a watch to reflect that, there would be money there instead

>>13712479
Do it with a fake GMT.

Safe travels wt

>>13711901
If I'm wearing a watch to work it's a dress watch, simple as that. If I started wearing that Diesel ONLY THE BRAVE watch to work, the simple fact that I am wearing it makes it a respected and sophisticated timepiece.

None of y'all niggas understand sartorial elegance.

Post vintage led watches

What brands, apart from Rolex (and Omega in some countries), got respect at the whole spectrum of the population? From the basic trashy bitch to the real watch conoisseur.

Im thinking Bulgari Octos...

On a side note I've decided I'm going to come to NY this spring, what horological things should I do?

>>13712711
You should try to catch a lecture at the horological society of new York. You should also do the watch boutiques on Madison and fifth avenues. It starts at Lange and then you walk south all the way down to Seiko. Takes about three hours to do, depending on how long you spend at each store. Let me know closer to when you're coming and I can tell you which shops to go to. The citizen boutique at times square has chronomasters which are worth a look; rare to see those in the US. If you time it right, you may be able to see a preview of a watch auction at Phillips, Christie's, or somewhere else - they often have neat stuff worth trying on. London Jewelers downtown used to have some cool mb&f pieces on display; I think they've recently sent them to their long island store but you might be able to call them and have them sent over for you to see.

>>13712711

>>13712584
>>13712702
Out of my way, kids.

>>13712617
Even most watch people don't know about that model let alone normies.

>>13712584
Why no vintage led Rolex?

>>13712838
Does rolex even still have that prototype lying around somewhere?

>>13712841
I would doubt it, but who really knows for sure. As far as I'm aware it is at least not in any public exhibit.

>>13712829
Normies know about "Bulgari", the know it means "expensive". But some watch snob idiots can see a Bulgari as shit similar to gucci, ck or armani watches... Then people that really know watches will again respect it (good in house mov., Genta design etc).

Interesting watches for sure.

>>13712851
Anything that isn't Rolex is fucking dogshit.

>>13712851
> Interesting watches for sure.
I completely agree. I tried on the titanium version only last week and I liked it much more than I thought I would.

>>13712851
AHAHAHA

>>13712876
What is THAT?

The Octo is ok tho.

>>13712617
I've been browsed /wt/ for three years now and I didn't even know Bulgari made good watches. Anyway the other normie respected brand is probably something like one of those Pateks or Audemars Pigets.

IT’S UP!

Nah I enjoy wearing it more this way, even tho it gets almost no wristtime

my sbdc029 is all scratched up, from the backplate, to the Ti band to the hardlex. is it worth fixing up (if even possible?) or should I just sell it and buy a new one

>>13713170

>>13713170
Go to a watchmaker/jeweler and ask. Shouldn't cost more than a new watch.

>>13713194
too lazy. theyre not HUEG scratches but theyre there nontheless

>>13713199
hardlex replacement is cheap, but afaik the Ti cant be polioshed because it has a diashield chemical treatment. what if I send it back to seiko?

>>13713268
>Second hand must line up with minutes on dial on each tick
To be honest only high end quartz watches are really able to control backlash sufficiently well to guarantee this. Best would be to go with a quartz watch with a pallet fork, like an oysterquartz. Anything with a 1hz standard stepper motor probably won't quite do.

>>13713268
You can't have sapphire sorry

>>13713268
>Second hand must line up with minutes on dial on each tick because autism
You're either looking at high end quartz or banking on luck.

Tudor is basically the rolex for the middle class these days. Rolex are no longer affordable or available to regular people.

>>13713873
Buying a Tudor is like letting Chad deepdick your wife and being like "well, I guess he has a bigger dick than me, so that's fair".

>>13713877
Tudor is better than Rolex.
Rolex watches are only worth the price tag of a Tudor, yet they are priced 2-3 times as much. Obviously Tudor is worth less than that of a Tudor price tag, but not by much.

>Tudor is better than Rolex

>>13713882
It is. Because of the ridiculous price of a Rolex.
If you could buy a rolex and a tudor for the same price, then rolex would be better obviously. The sad truth is that Rolex is just a stupid purchase. And this comes from a guy who like Rolex a lot.

>>13713854
>>13713861
Wait, that's a shop right?

>>13713901
If you can afford to spend $3000 on a watch you can easily afford to spend $6000 on a watch.

>>13713882
its the same thing expected one is significantly marked up due to artificially made shortages.

>>13713908
youre being a bit generous with your 6000$ rolex price tag try more 7500-1200$

>>13713908
Not true.
And that isn't really the point. The idea that Rolex is worth 6000 is just ridiculous to me.

But let me just answer your post, I think when someone that aren't particularly well-off, but more like an average or middle class person with a normal job, when they want a proper watch they might push the limit on how far up in price they should, and they might land on 3000 (probably less), but if they land on 3000 then they have likely pushed their limit a little bit. Just imagine how they will think "I should spend this and that amount of money", and then they will see that some watches they really like will cost a little more, so they irrationally push upwards just a little bit. 3000 is kind of a reasonably place for normal people to land after such a push. It's kinda too expensive for them, I'd say, but they pushed it. 6000 or 7500 for these people would mean that they overspent by a lot. Spending money they shouldn't on a fucking watch... lol, stupid.

>>13713872
i just got a 30m water resist swatch irony model, i brought it to a shop to put a battery in, the guy tested it in a pressure machine on 5m, i know 30m water resistance means you can wash your hands, but you can't shower while wearing the watch, despite this the guy said that i can swim in it, i was like wtf, so i tested it, i swam in it being a not too expensive watch and there was no issue at all, so i guess, if ia watch passes the pressure test on 5m, regardless the claimed resistance, it can be used for swimming

>>13713924
Just because you managed to swim with it once doesn't mean you should. Just try do this everyday for a couple of weeks, then go back to him and check if you have too much moisture in your watch.

>>13713923
>yo lemme spend $3000 on a luxury watch I don't need, is impractical and obsolete technology
>what!? spend $6000 on a watch!? that's crazy!?

>>13713923
ya basically if youre middle class you have to financing to pay off your rolex which is retarded

>>13713931
Well, yes they shouldn't even spend 3000 on a watch, I agree completely. But some will do that because they can manage to afford it if they push.

>>13713932
Yep basically this. Stupid people save up for a long time just to get that Rolex, then they will walk around among their peers who only wear seikos and such, and they will be like "haha I have a rolex" and their peers will just think they look retarded for buying that rolex.

Stupid people. I know these peope exist in this thread too, so I will tell you now: YOU ARE STUPID.

>>13713940
You're just mad you don't have an actually nice watch.

>>13713944
But I do, I'm upper middle.

>>13713945
Ok, post your nice watch or watches.

>>13713950
Sure thing, when I'm back from work I will quote this post look for it in the thread or the next thread.

>>13713957
Inb4 it's a drawer of gshocks.

>>13713961
>implying I would pay that much for a gshock
You are funny. But really you won't see a 6000 watch in my drawer, but I believe they are reasonably nice for my living standards. But regardless of what I have, what I have said is very true. You are stupid if you overspend on watches. You may say "I don't care what other people think" and that's fine. But they will think you are a retard, if you're that kind of person who buys a rolex as an average person.

>>13713957
Ok cool, don't forget to quote and timestamp big boy.
Anyway, let's joke around and assume that you're actually going to post a nice watch, maybe a Rolex.
So you're just (role playing as) an elitist prick who doesn't want the plebs joining your Rolex club.
Pathetic. Don't tell people what to do with disposable income.
Anyone that's decent with money can use their disposable income for anything, including a Rolex. Hell you could fucking substitute one small thing and use that money to save for a Rolex, it'd take you a few years, but who cares?
Oh you do, cause you like the idea of status symbols because they give you self worth.
I bet you hated when BMW and Mercedes came out with cheap models.

>>13713970

>selling one shitter for another

>>13713974
It's not even him being an elitist prick. It's literally Rolex the company saying "hey you middle class people, this isn't for you anymore". ADs are barely stocked and there are wait lists just to get one. This is done on purpose by Rolex to discourage average people from buying one. It's not only a money thing.

>>13714191
Yeah probably. I'd love to have a bezel on the watch but I'm not really fond of the usually large design of dive watches. I don't even think a small and thin solar dive watch even exists. Or better yet a solar analog field watch that has a minute bezel.

>>13714191
>>13714209
Never mind. After a quick google search a WUS forum has a few that I like, not solar or under 100 bucks that I can see, but maybe I'll find something eventually.

>>13714428
I wouldn't personally get any of them considering they're pretty similar to your current watch, however the type c face chronograph would be my first choice for some variety in the collection. Though I would also consider the type a because of the clean aesthetics of the face and I dislike day/date features

>>13714365
unironically based

>>13714433
I'm fond of this style and I dunno I was finding my citizen to be a bit too small

the type a and b lacos come in a 39mm or 42mm variant both either as a Japanese quartz or Japanese automatic

the type C just comes in a 42mm quartz

the ones I'm looking at also have lack branding on the face. I think the more plain dials are just for the higher end Swiss movement ones

The F-91W is unironically better than some silver painted piece of shit with a dogshit bracelet. It only has the EL backlight going for it, should've bought a W-86.

>>13714557
Went from a seiko 5 to one of their more upmarket chronos then another chrono. Now the two nicer watches are getting serviced, going back to the 5 after not wearing it for months the quality gap is more readily apparent.

how often are you supposed to get watches serviced?

>bought (((swiss))) automatic
>tfw I overestimated the accuracy of these superlative chronometers let alone mine which isn't COSC certified either
>buyer's remorse
>and it's only going to get worse and I will have to pay for service in a couple of years for it to keep somewhat decent time

How do I get over it?

>>13714595
Most manufacturers say 4-5 years.

>>13713929
there was no visible moisture in it after one swim, i won't be able to test it further, because the weather is getting cold here and i don't do indoor swimming

the other thing is the thermal expansion, different materials act differently when heated, this swatch has alu case and plastic glass, if the weather is hot and it's on the sun for a pro-longed time, i can imagine this can cause issues when it contacts water

>>13714600
really? then why not just get a quartz watch.

people make it sound like automatics are cost effective in the long run because you never have to buy it batteries but if servicing is any different then how is it any different to needing to buy it a battery?

and I'm guessing a service costs a lot more than a battery change?

>>13714591
Should've gotten the Casio"pussyshot" Royale.

What you guys think?
Palladium fume dial.
By directional date set.
$6000

>>13714641
Automatics are worst in every practical way. They need same or more service, whic is much more expensive and are way less accurate.

>>13714650
Pretty nice. But Id buy a JLC Master Control instead.

>>13714591
>The F-91W is unironically better than some silver painted piece of shit with a dogshit bracelet.
The dogshit bracelet will not fail in the first two years unlike that plastic shit and the case will survive longer without starting to look like worn out plastic

>>13714642
"pussyshot" royale?
What?

>>13714591
the w86 is nice to use on the gym or outdoor activities but the f91 looks better on most outfits
>>13714642
the casio royale is a fucking meme, the "metal" one at least, the case is fucking plastic

>>13714591
I don’t see any pusy in that picture.
Pls retake it.

is this watch worth the money? I've been considering as my next purchase
looks like someshit a shady CIA guy would wear while training rebels in latin america

>mfw I elevated the status of this watch

>>13713974
Whether he is roleplaying as anytihing or not, he is right. It looks quite silly when the average guy saves up for a Rolex. It simply does not fit him.

>>13714689
Yes it's reliable and very cool.
It does not have hacking so the movement isn't one of the most modern ones, but I never cared about hacking anyway.

>>13714750
I miss the early-mid 2000's when you just stopped wondering where people got the money for all the shit they bought

>>13714679
>He doesn't know

>>13714759
Not sure if I follow, explain

>>13714771
I don't know if it's the case in america but here (southern europe) even blue collar families were living like middle class ones before the recession, making debs for shit like big ass tv's and "telephones that will take photos" and big ass cars, nice house in the suburbs with the garden, lots of people living above their possibilities
people could have looked rich but they actually weren't

>>13714085
>a major company discouraging customers to buy
It's like you're retarded.

>>13714581
JLC is at the top of the list.
Some of the best stuff out there, especially at the price.

>>13714750
You're literally brainwashed by status symbols. Hope it feels good to have corporations in your head.

>>13714684

>>13714823
>A major company artificially creating shortages to shoot up the prices so only the rich can afford while they create a more affordable brand of the same watch for the middle classes
Who's the retard now?

>>13714689

I like the orient ray 2 better

>>13714785
So you mean that they would wear nice clothes, drive reasonable cars, live in comfy houses, but what would differ them from richer people would be like if they wore a rolex or drove an extra nice car and such?

>>13714832
So it's MY problem that everyone he meet will think he's a fool? Alrighty then.

>>13714936
Your problem is thinking you know what everybody thinks. Quite a retarded assumption.

>>13714689
'is it worth the money'
This can help you answer that imgur.com/a/NFMXDuK
I would say yes, providing you get it at a damn good price. Also consider getting one modded with a nh35

>>13714932
An idiot spends 100.000€ extra (which he doesnt have, pure debt) for a slightly nicer house or 10.000€ for a slightly nicer car that will last only like 10 years or 5.000€ a year on overpriced shitty rum & coke... and nobody gives a fuck. All is fine.

You spend 3000€ in a second hand watch that puts you in no debt, will carry very little attached expenses, will last a lifetime etc and everybody goes batshit crazy like "you are faking being a millionaire", "you are a snob", "you are wasting your money" etc etc... im not saying this isnt true but you get the idea.

>>13714999
You lack social skills then, I guess. Most people think it's silly to spend 7000 on a watch when 7000 is 1/5 of your yearly salary. Anyway, I understand why I get these types of arguments in this thread. Some of you fit the description of being people who buy watches they shouldn't.

>>13715028
Of course I get the argument you're making here, but the reality is like you say, that people will think you're a dumbass if you do that.

I'd nitpick on your argument regarding the house, but why bother. You have already understood and agreed with my point, that people will react on your rollie.

>>13715035
My most expensive watch is worth less than 1/3 of my mobth salary after taxes. My most expensive shoes are like 1/6, etc.

Still probably shouldnt buy that kind of stuff, but i will keep doing it. And mostly people DOESNT GIVE A FUCK about your watch or shoes at a level they know you spent that much (unless you are consciously flexing, which is another story).

>>13715044
They will react if you TELL them its 3000€.

So this is the thread where I post my mid 2000s casio or no?

>>13715056
Yep. Please.

>>13715048
1/3 of your monthly is normal I'd say. Nobody will care about that.
>>13715053
Yeah, but will you really sit there and pretend it's a watch for 400 dollars or something?

>>13715048
Not him but here in Norway people tend to care a lot about watches.

>>13715060
I will not speak about prices and nobody will ask. This is not the USA, here is considered very poor taste to talk about money, wages, prices etc. Almost taboo.

>>13715058
Here you go. I think it's kind of a weird model but I enjoy them and wear them often.

>>13714271

>>13715085
>wrist tv remote controller
this is why digital watches dropped out of favor, that's just ridiculous.

>>13715126
Actually that's fucking amazing if you ask me, not many watches are capable of that.

>>13715152
You can shut off a tv with an Omega Ploprof. It involves tossing it and is permanent tho.

>>13715085
Take that shit to /g/ where it belongs. That's not effay

>>13715162
Eh, I specifically asked if I should post them before. And it's not like I claim that they are high fashion. It's nice to see that you appreciate them though ^^

>>13714689
>>13714918
>debating whether a $200 watch is worth the price

Just fucking buy it holy shit, I bought both of these without thinking about it, what's $200 if you have a decent job? Not trying to boast but that's such a tiny amount of money for an (automatic) watch. It's almost a no brainer.

And yes it's decent, but the Ray II is better in my opinion.

>>13715160
How many murders have been committed using a Ploprof?

>>13715170
Don't mind that guy, hes tudorfag

>>13715253
Never heard of it before but if you say so sure

>>13715253
You do know that more than one person think those shitters don't belong in /fa/ right?

This is the /g/ exile thread not a /fa/g thread
Go make your own thread with your quartz shitters rolled in glitter that you think look pretty.

>>13714858
Still you, for being the only person to buy a Tudor unironically.

>>13715365
Yeah, this is the thread for cheap ugly quartz shitters only!

>>13715453
No this is the shitty fake watch thread that's plagued by a poster who only wants people to talk about how great his fake, ugly, shitty watch is.

>>13715222
Say no more than that Mjolnir is a Ploprof on a stick.

>>13711881
i have a casio f-91 w.

These threads are just shitshow that never stops repeating itself
All of you should just drop your acts and kys

>>13715035
Again you're an idiot.
If you're good with your finances putting away a little money you don't need every paycheck and then spending it all on a 7000 watch is fine.
It's not something you shouldn't do. It's your fucking money.
Also, who's going to fucking care besides an autistic fuck like you? Here's how that conversation would go worst case:
>wowowow anons got a Rolex, big spender
>nah just saved up a little for a few years, always wanted one, cut out some fancy dinner kek
>oh cool nice, let me see it
And your world view is blown.

Also;
>35,000 yearly salary
Where the fuck do you live where that's middle class.
Hell, if that's the number you're going off, I might agree with you. You don't have a lot of expendable income. But if anything this proves you have no idea what's going on in the world.

>>13711930
seriously, just buy a new one. the glass is fucked up and running around with that garbage just shows how little you care for yourself.

>>13715472
I'm sorry.

>>13715476
Im not the other guy but consider that you can live in a country were you can get a good home for like 50.000/100.000€ and where you have not to worry about or pay for health or your children education.

Just saying, 35.000€ after taxes would be quite ok.

>>13715501
I'm not saying it isn't. He said salary though, so that's 35,000 before taxes and all that.
I was mostly trying to make the point that no matter how much you make, if you're good with finances and have a steady job you can afford a lot of stuff if you're careful about it.

Which one should I get? Similar alternatives below $250 are also welcome

>>13715516
Yeah, i mostly agree with you. Just wanted to point that money is not directly comparable raw as a measure of wealth, specially between countries.

>>13715476
35k is like the lower middle class in the US I'd say, which is what I went with as an example (or maybe let's just call it average). Most people think it would be foolish of him to spend those money on a rolex.

I don't care about your attempt on making this untrue. It is true.

>>13715524
Id say that with that kind of money, imaging after direct tax, you can be quite fucked in the US (depending in a lot of factors) and doing great in many european countries (also depending buy hey).

For example lots of medium to high tier public servants (doctors, judges, army officers, good rank policemen or fighfighters...) here earn that kind of money and live well, drive good cars and wear luxury watches.

>>13715543
>For example lots of medium to high tier public servants (doctors, judges, army officers, good rank policemen or fighfighters...)
Where is "here"?

>>13715522
>$250 dress watch

Absolutely disgusting, dress watches start at 3k and that's pushing it.

Get a Ray II.

>>13715550
Spain.

>>13715523
Very true, especially when you consider the tax differences in countries. And that's not even getting to an social programs or lack there of.
I'm pretty sure that anon is from the US though, and nothing he's saying makes sense.

>>13715524
Start of middle class is 39,000. Not 35. And a few thousand is a big difference here.
[Pew Research] there's your citation.
So you're wrong again desu.

>>13715522
I hate how the hands aren't long enough on the right one and across most the range. Try see one in person if possible because that put me off their watches.

So what Casio watch do I need to get the most pussy?

>>13715588
Gold gshock 5600

>I'm aiming to buy a rolex in 5 years, and this anon is telling me what I don't want to hear

The one that says Rolex.

Absolute watch noob here, my second garmin sports watch has died and I’m done with sports watches as everyday wear now.

Can anyone recommend a nice adult watch or companies to consider around a budget of £1500?

Ps for a grill pls

>>13715439
Who said I bought one? I'm just trying explaining you the reality of the market

>>13715653
Women's watches are pretty far and few between.
Want to narrow it down by look or type or anything else as well?
My rec would be https://www.seiyajapan.com/collections/seiko/products/seiko-exceline-high-accuracy-quartz-swdl209-10-sec-yr-made-in-japan-for-ladies

>>13715678
>>13715672
Thanks man, I like those recommendations. I’d be looking for a more masculine style watch (so no rose gold, glitter or diamonds), but I think a chain strap rather than leather. Gonna give that website a browse tho, thanks

Was wondering also if brand like omega, Cartier are overrated?

>>13712851
Normies do not know about this Bulgarian shit. That's what it makes me think of, Bulgaria, and the filth that comes with it.

>>13713991

>>13711930
lol at the shitty advice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONY8GnEoy_U

Just do everything this guy did and it will look good as new unless the inside of that watch is fucked

>>13715322
is this one of those watches with 6497 movement?

Right... so I will soon purchase this and I would like to know if there's any reason why I shouldn't buy it.
White gold is the best look for me, not sure pink gold will look right.
Muchas gracias, amigos.

>>13716817
brah if you're ready to pull the trigger and the money's ready you don't need any excuses not to go ahead. it's a good looking watch.

>>13715160
Oh nice, a TV remote complication! Great Omega

>>13716817
lol, we know you will get the rep version, no need to flex

>>13717324
>flex
How am I flexing when no one has any idea who I am? I'd rather buy a Tissot which would last instead of a replica.
However you've made me wonder if people would just assume it's fake since there's a lot of envious fags who think that because they can't have it no one else can.

My gold dress Omega is what really completes my collection

>>13718269
