Follow up question from last thread, any advantages to Meranom over Zenitar? The latter has the case/face I want in stock.

>>13823058
thank you

did I just come across some sort of gem?

bought this at a goodwill for $4. was in a bucket of random watches.

when I took it home I was messing with the crown and realized it was an hand winding automatic when the hands began to move

it appears to be fully functional

looked it up and was seeing these price tags
https://shop.hodinkee.com/products/1960s-yema-yachtingraf-reference-9312?variant=46987109967

could mine be a fake cos it has a circle around the Y. never heard of the brand either desu

what strap do you think would suit it? it uses a 19mm lug which is a bit annoying lol. if J have trouble finding a strap is it better to use a 20mm one or an 18mm one?

>get a steal on a nice watch on ebay
>asshole seller cancels it and messages me a bullshit story about how the watch was robbed from him
I am so fucking mad right now, why even put it up for auction if you're going to throw a tantrum when it's not sold for a high price

>>13823274
There was a time when some dude found a 35000 usd jlc in a thrift.

>>13823274
We don't know bro. Get yourself a nice coffee and get down to some long internet digging sessions.

It’s up!

Should I get a tissot visodate?

where do you guys like to buy quality leather straps? more specifically a rally style one?

>>13823412
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Modern lubrication oils don't get 'gunked up' anymore. If the watch is serviced, then the date change function will be fine to use if you need to.

The only argument that I've ever heard that makes sense about watch winders is that you should NOT use them because they run the watch when you're not enjoying the watch. This leads to the need to service them earlier than you'd require if they only ran when you wore them.

I honestly can't think of a reason to use one of these....

>>13823412
I don't know how people can stomach him, apart from his annoying voice, disgusting haircut and filthy beard, he talks a lot of nonsense

I asked last thread but offered opinions. Thoughts? The hunt for a $1000 watch that i like the look of is alot harder than i thought.

Best strap to dress down my new SRPB43?

What's the point in buying a watch when I can get one through my phone?

>>13823703
That’s awful.
At least get something pretty.

>>13823735
i guess opinions differ. The one you posted is uuuuugly

>>13823705
Metal mesh.

>>13823751
Sure.
Get your watch. Enjoy it.

What's up gents.

>>13823839
Last day of vacation before hell.
Loud neighbor upstairs won’t have it this easy anymore.

>>13823839
It's such a beautiful watch.

>>13823846
Tell me about it. I'm holding out for my Christas vacation for a couple weeks.

>>13823847
Thanks! Definitely looks a lot better in person. I love how the dial can look black at some angles and then blue.

>>13823062
L-lads?

>>13823866
Yes

>>13823852
That’s fucking pretty.

>>13823870
Thanks man. It was either between that or the Oyster Perpetual as my go-to dress watch. Went to a Rolex AD to try it on and it wore massive. It's 39mm but wears like a 42mm. Feels bigger than a Submariner.

>>13823874
i wish i had your money, wanna get me a job?

>>13823889
Hey man, we all start somewhere. 6 years ago I was wearing my old Seiko 5's and such. Great time pieces that I still wear from day to day.

can someone identify Giorno giovanas watch for me

>>13823901
Great stuff man, jelly as

>>13823839
>>13823852
what size is that

>>13823917
38.5mm


Case diameter isn’t as important as lug to lug measurements though.

>>13823919
thank you faggot

>>13823903

>>13823874
Don’t they make 36mm Datejusts any more?

I think this is fucking beautiful. Please tell me im right

Sup bros

is it possible to get nice leather watch strap for <$50? I'm looking for either rivetted aviator style one (2 rivets per side) or a perforated rally style one

I'm checking out some dedicated watch forums and the ones they recommend all seem to be at least $150.

are they memeing that shit just because it's expensive or is the quality really match the price tag?

>>13824025
Ew

Omega, the choice of champions.

Why would anyone come to this site other than to be petty?

Anyone here buy watches to deal with depression? I always find myself shopping for more watches when I’m in a bit of a bad place.

>>13823274
Open it up, should have a valjoux movement in and then just spot then difference using a reference picture. Also I just googled the brand and name and they did use a circled Y on certain models. I would say it isn’t fake. Replace the crystal and you’ve got a nice looking watch, the dial looks in good condition.

>>13824165
Yes but it is better than gambling or drinking. I gambled away like 2K US because I didn’t care if I lived or died. At least this way you have something to show for it.

any watchmakers or customizers on?

>>13824175
or maybe this is just common knowledge. With a screw down crown, is the threaded part that the crown screws down onto usually replaceable or is it part of the case?

>>13824165
That's not unusual, you're just looking to material possessions to fill some kind of emotional void. It's the same with people who eat when they're depressed etc, just that instant gratification combined with a lack of self preservation. If you got really smart at buying watches though you could do it with very little risk as you could buy watches that are easily flipped for nearly what you bought it for

talk me out of copping this big nig

>>13823874
>>13823839
Price difference between the two?
I hear Omega has build quality and QC issues

Are there any watches with a nice audible tick?

What's the most aesthetic time for a watch photo?

>>13824183
if you're in a cycle of buying shit to feel happy for a couple of hours then selling it to buy more shit, maybe looking into how to do it more efficiently isn't the best course of action

hypothetically speaking what would you get with a us$9000 tax refund

>>13824214
It’s better than moving onto drink or drugs or food.

Might even make a few bucks.

>>13824219
I couldn’t wear a watch worth more than $4000. I’d be too scared of breaking or losing it.

>>13823279
Elaborate. Morbidly Curious.

>>13824025
Imagine projecting this hard

>>13824222
I'm just saying that treating depression by buying shit is not a sustainable course of action. Learning to do it more effectively isn't gonna help/

>>13824224
Isn't the datejust super cheap for a rolex though?

Archie is broke, watch fire sale.

I genuinely want to drive up to Brisbane, find him in the yellow pages and show up at his house

>>13824239
That one was going for £2000 or so.
Wasn’t really related to what I was saying but it is probably the one Rolex I’d actually wear without feeling like a total douche.

>>13824240
His "friend" is literally dictating the prices to sell the watches at, because he technically owns them as Archie owes him lotsa money.

He's like a debt collector. Nice "friends" lel

>>13824250
>>13824240
>I want $4400 for that!
>That's not what we agreed.

Fucking hell

>>13824248
That's interesting because the datejust is the only rolex I'd feel like a total douche wearing it because it looks so tacky.

Thoughts?

>>13824269
I don't like it
>gold lol
>diamonds lol
>eco drive lol what are you a hippy?

>>13824274
Gold and diamonds (cz) cause I'm a nigga. Eco drive cause idk what it meant on a watch, how are watches eco friendly?

>>13824276
>how are watches eco friendly?
That's a good question anon. They're probably not. Sounds like gay marketing shit.

>>13824279
Yes it does, know any relatively cheap but decent (as in actually works, okay build) watches that are gold like the one I linked? I love me some gold

>>13824285
Can't help you guy. Gold is a terrible material for a watch. It's soft making it prone to scratches, heavy, and makes you a target for niggers.

>>13824253
Yea that’s fair enough. I don’t mean a two tone gold one but a vintage one will work with my style almost ironically.
This one is perfect.

>>13824291
yeah IDK man there's something about the datejust that makes it look super cheap and crappy even without the 2 tone. I hate the bezel, I hate the hands, I hate the dial it just looks like shit to me.

>>13824289
Niggers arent an issue considering I'm a nigga and I only go out with a crew of niggas and we're all strapped

>>13824298
Fair enough. What Rolex do you like?

>>13824299
>I'm a nigga
So fucking what? 90% of dead niggers were killed by another nigger so that's not exactly a good defense.
>>13824308
I'm not a rolex guy but I like the daytona and submariner

Aww man, I can't believe I have to work tomorrow.

>>13824276
are you actually black? if so it may work

>>13824311
Niggers dont rob groups of niggers, go out where niggers are more nigga

>>13824316
Yes

Cheaper alternative to this?

>>13824317
>Niggers dont rob groups of niggers
You're so fucking dumb you just might actually be a nigger

>>13824324
Literally only happens here with gang affiliations in the most sketchy of places in the city which I'm not in or associated with.

>>13824326
>you don't get robbed by niggers unless it's a different type of nigger
OH OK THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP

>>13824330
No you don't get robbed by niggerz if you're not one of their "enemies" or with a group. No matter how hard people say they are, everyone is afraid of potential death, don't take rap lyrics to heart my man. Shit you learn growing up around niggers

>>13824332
You're an idiot. I don't listen to rap but I've been robbed by niggers multiple times. If they think they can steal something and get away with it they'll do it simple as that.

>>13824340
What part of group that carries guns do you not understand? Whatever I don't care

>>13824342
dumb niggers like you are why chicago has such a high gun murder rate.

>If I wear a gold watch and carry a gun no niggers will mess with me

>>13824276
Citizens eco drive watches are pretty good. Blacks are the only people who can pull off gold watches imo. Be sure that the watch diameter is a good fit for your wrist.

Good morning wt

why is the 7000 double dick worth so much more than the other double dicks?

>>13824353

ever had that zodiac serviced?

>>13824355
The 9983? The case shape is considerably nicer. There are no technical differences in the movement.

>>13824370
No. It runs pretty well. It was supposedly recently serviced when I got it.

>>13823553
This wont hell at all, but i get mine from a local watchmaker. They’re usually 15-20$, handmade, and incredibly nice

Which Superluminova pigment is the strongest again? C1, C3 or C5?

What do you lads think of Oysterquartz?

Just picked this lad up. 31 jewel, auto, 200m depth rating. Really excited about it. What sorta strap would fit it best? What do you guys think?

Got it for a fucking steal from ukrainian ebay. I havent seen this style too often but i love the numbers.

>>13824577
It is a fantastic watch. As far as I know it is the only wristwatch with a voltage controlled oscillator. The fork based escapement is also excellent, though not unique.

>>13824289
>and makes you a target for niggers.
lol in yurop we still have those high-skilled thieves you see in the movies that will snatch your watch without you noticing

>>13824602
Hope you weren't a cheap fuck and bought a brand new one. Otherwise you might as well neckrope right now, before even getting the watch.

Also get a Citizen-clone dive strap.

>>13824312
I fucking know right.

>>13824311
I find the Daytona much tackier than the datejust

What a fucking joke. Rolex are such pretenders.

Every fucking quartz on the planet is chronometer grade.

>>13824872
What's your quartz grail?

>>13824877
No there's a different rating for quartz and manual/auto

>>13824889
I don't have one.
Maybe a GS Spring Drive if you count that, but it's not even close to a grail price.
And a Casio Oceanus, but again no where near grail prices.
My interest is in mechanical.

>>13824824
Woah, thanks anon!

I'll buy a swatch.

Already have it. Omega Seamaster 300m from Goldeneye.

Thoughts on this Max Bill?

which is healthier for automatic watches?

if I don't use my automatics as much, is it better to just let them die then wind them up when I go to use it

or should I be keeping an eye on them and try to keep them wound and running at all times?

>Color Black

The finishing & design make up for it imo. Very thin, bevel all along the case, titanium caseback, bezel & movement holders, etc.

I'm not saying everyone will, but there will be people who will want to get the latest but not hold onto the old one.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the Sellita movement you brought up. Fact is you're assblasted because no one likes your disgusting watch you can't even afford
Learn a little more about watches before trying to argue about them you disgusting weeb,

>>13825900
Way to dodge the point. Tell me how strict the standard is for what gets to be legally called "swiss made".

>>13825199
like this?

>>13825904
How is it dodging the point you complete imbecile?
The point was the Oris watch with the Sellita movement that you tried to call a Chinese clone like a Seagull. You show you have no idea what you're on about and then try to point out that Omega outsources a lot of shit to China (which everyone knows) and now you're trying to deviate some more by trying to move the goal posts again.
Sellita is not Chinese and no one would take your disgusting watch seriously for 1k
Take your lesson like a man, weeb

>>13825912
>Sellita is not Chinese
Prove it. Stop dodging and find out how much a movement can be chink and still be called "swiss made".

>>13825870
You are complaining about anime on an anime site, I stand by the analogy >>13825868

>>13825916
I don't need to prove anything to you, imbecile.
Go do your own research, I'm not here to give lessons to some retarded weeb who is assblasted because I called his grail a piece of trash for 1k
You argue like a chick, I hope you are one otherwise you should be ashamed of yourself.

Nice try darling but go do your own research and learn to argue with people outside of 4chan, this stupid shit you're trying to do does not work in the real world.
Go take a breath and deal with the fact you have shit taste and would pay 1k that you clearly can't afford on an ugly watch worth 1/8 of that

>>13825930
replace runescape with golf or something then

I feel like I should be saying that to you, just saying you are going to see a lot of anime no matter what board you are on. And that being the case isn't out of place or weird

A 40s-50s Hamilton or Bulova would be the way to go for wanting an american watch right? And are there any new watches that follow this art deco styling?

>>13825963
The only american company that comes to mind is RGM, though they're pretty overpriced imo.

>>13825963
You could get a modern reissue spur (though of course it's swiss)

>>13825972
Do any microbrands/jap/chinks/whatever make watches with that kind of art deco look though? (or if it's some other style and I'm wrong calling it art deco).
I forget about RGM, I kind of veer to vintage because you can get some shit for 2-6 hundred that to my knowledge is american.

>>13825994
Not sure if it's the same styling you're thinking of, but hajime asaoka comes to mind when I think of art deco.

>>13825163
A168WG-9EF is the way to go

>>13826008
>>13825984
These are both beautiful, absolutely what I'm after (though too rich for this poorfag). There are few Orients and Hamiltons that are in the same ballpark but nothing that nails it like those for me around the $500(maybe 6) or under mark. New I don't care if it american if it hits the styling. Vintage, I'd go USA (assuming old "american" watches weren't also lies that outsourced everything)

>>13826039
The old 50s/60s hamiltons really were american as far as I know. The microrotors were neat shit.

Heh, shudda thought twice about reccomendin' titanium shitters round these parts, pal.

>>13826042
the eta quartz hamiltons from the 70's were pretty cool imo i actually had a gold moonphase around 8 years ago

>>13826197
the best thing about a low end vintage watch is that you can beat the shit out of them

get them repaired for a song (if they're eta powered)

and they will never be worth anything so you don't feel bad about squashed value when you ruin it while bump firing some shitty SKS or something

Model is 6020-G40812 KA
Been tryin to find it to buy...can’t seem to find anyone sellin.

This quartz shitter is definitely going to be my next cop.

Delicious.

Slender, compact, still a weight to the design. I like these watches by Longines.

convex glass, phew.

>>13824995
Gnarly.

>>13826290
Just bought this for gf's birthday - she never takes it off.

>>13826346
They are a 'you'll own one once at some point in your life' design. Ubiquitous to be precise.

Oh dear. Isn't it adorable?

I promised myself no more watches till spring, but this fucker is really tempting me.

>>13826184
Not a fake Tudor so by default better than any other titanium watch in these parts.

>>13826503
Get a slightly earlier Heuer only branded one and you'll have a genuine Bond watch.

>>13826290

how many watches is too much?

I only have 4 and it already makes me feel nervous and feel overwhelmed with choice.

how different do you like you watches to be? do you overlap and have multiples of the same style ie multiple divers?

>>13826566
No more than three unless you consider it your hobby

>>13826566
I wish I could live with one watch for the rest of my life but I get bored too easily.
Planning on selling the Seiko and maybe the Omega Geneve.

Thoughts on the IWC Portofino?

Who is this Peen Queen?

What is /fa/s thoughts on replica watches? I know /g/ had a stick up its ass but /fa/ is much less cucked by the Mountain Jews surely?
Like, why pay £7,000 when you can spend £400 and get a visually identical watch?

>>13826712
Replica without branding is fine. Replica going right down to the logo is kind of lousy, because it means someone out there is making dirty money selling fakes

>>13826729
I've owned a couple of fakes. They're good for me as I get tired of watches relatively quick so I can replace it easily for a few hundred bucks and just bin it after 3 or 4 years.
I love the look of the thing on my wrist, other people comment positively on my watch and I've saved thousands of dollars. What's not to love?

>>13826623
the explorer and speedy are both super cool, if you sell the quartz and omega just grab a dress watch and you are set

>>13826712
the movements are not as good, they are not as accurate, you can't ever sell it if you need to, you won't feel good about having saved to buy it, and they have no water resistance. Decent replicas cost about a thousand dollars and for that money you can buy some pretty decent watches for under that and you don't have to feel like a sleezy bastard wearing them.

>>13826712
I understand what you mean. I'm not vehemently against fakes like other people are, but here's the reasons why you shouldn't buy a fake.
>there's good chance customs will seize your watch and you'll get nothing for £400
>a real Rolex or Omega or whatever will last a lifetime, a fake will not.
The gold on a real Rolex will never flake off. The indicies will never come off and turn your watch into a metal snowglobe. The spring will never snap in two or three different pieces from casual wear. With a fake watch, you run the risk of having a movement with gears that have the durability of saltine crackers.
>you will never be able to resell your watch
>for the price of a fake watch, you can buy a real watch with real history or real value
>not all fakes are "visually identical." There's a guy who calls out people wearing fakes from their instagram photos.

If you buy a fake watch, you should expect it to break within two years. And be careful. The seller might send you photos of a real Rolex and claim it's the fake one they're selling.

>>13826755
> you won't feel good about having saved to buy it
Shut the fuck up.

>>13826767
The trusted dealers will send another if your shit gets seized. I agree that the watches are much less reliable but they're not the fragile things they used to be.
I guess my main gripe with genuine is that you're wearing £6000 on your wrist. I don't want to have to worry about that sort of wealth on my wrist. I like being able to just throw my watch into a locker or go on a night out wearing it without thinking I might damage or lose it.
The replica watch community is insane for the details. Fakes are getting better and better.

Can anyone ID what watch this is?

Was there a Rolex Sub 16610 without rehaut?

>>13826787
Just tacky and pretentious desu

>>13826787
where do you buy yours? finding one who sells quality is the problem with that

>>13826827

You know what that word means?

>>13826829
just go and click around the reptime sub-reddit.

>>13826834
It is the definition of pretebtiousness you mongoloid try googling the word or would you like me to do it for you?

>attempting to impress by affecting greater importance or merit than is actually possessed.

Fair enough if you buy one with no logo but an exact fake is the cringiest try hard beta male thing in the world

>>13826787
found the fake fag
kys

>>13826787
except you are wearing a copy. instead of purchasing something based on your taste and the technology in that piece your buying something that approximates it visually. The fake omega you are holding does not have a coaxial movement, it is not water resistant to 150 meters, it is not a chronometer, and you can't afford the real thing. You did not buy it for yourself because it has none of the characteristics of the watch it copies. Replica's are only for the benefit of how others perceive you. You are a shallow faggot and are floundering attempting to justify your retardation and superficial tendencies.

Hi fellas.
I just ordered an SKX009 dial and hands for my shitty abomination. I think it's gonna look quite cool and I have polished the case and fitted a sapphire crystal.
What are some straps ideas?

>>13826904
It will look like this.

>>13826903
What if I only wear watches for aesthetic reasons? I like the look of Omegas and Rolexes but couldn't give a fuck about "heritage", movements and water resistance. I just like having a good looking watch on my wrist.

>>13826911

>>13825838
You appear to be mad.

What's the coolest vintage you can buy for £2500?
Any good 70s divers? Maybe Omega?

>>13826929
Seiko 62mas
heuer chronographs

> Want a Seamaster 300
> Search eBay for Seamaster 300

>>13826941
It's trying to tell you something.

Something along the lines of "don't buys this cuck-axial faux-vintage piece of shit".

>>13826941
Search for Seamaster 300 master (chronometer)

>>13826954
Why not?

>>13826929
Add a few hundred pounds and get a 16200 Datejust.

>watch has a screw-down crown but the thread has worn down to the point that it barely keeps things in place

What do?

>>13826929

>>13826967
put threadlock on it lol

>>13825963
Yeah, those are the big boys.
You could go Caravelle too, but that's just low end Bulova.
I recommend Hamiltons though, I have 2 from like '35-'45 love them.

>>13825972
I mean they aren't really overpriced. They're a small operation and striving for 100% inhouse.
Doesn't mean I'll buy one, but for what they are it seems fair.
Though if they get a 100% in house under 6k with a not over the top style, I'd buy that in a second.

Do some forearm exercises and carry a tactical knife so you can handle business if someone thinks they are all that. You tell them this is where they'll find you and if they don't back off, you make good on your promise.

>>13826911
Buy an sterile homage then.

But you wont, because you dont like the watches, you like the brand you cant afford.

I love my replica quartz Speedmaster I got for 57€ on dhgate. Great quality and reliable Miyota quartz chronograph movement, much better than getting a fake mechanical chronograph movement. I only wished it came without omega branding as I actually feel bad for wearing a blatant fake, I’d like it more if it had an sterile dial.
I oddly love it for because it’s a quartz and because I don’t have to wind it up every morning. I never liked the 1/s ticking of quartz watches but since it has a seconds’ subdial, it isn’t very noticeable at first glance. I like it despite all the hate. This watch is actually motivating me to buy the real deal someday because I love the design.

>>13827212

>>13827212
What stops me from buying a quartz speedy replica is the fact that I've yet to see one that actually has functional minute and hour sub dials

What style should I aim to so it blends well?

>>13827212
Is it the same size as an actual Speedmaster?
Keep meaning to get a MAN ON THE FUCKING MOON one of these days, but I've got skinny little wrists.

>inb4 get the Reduced - those aren't even real Speedmasters and their popularity among TGV's cult isn't exactly a good selling point

Still couldn't sell this, even if it's serviced and re-lumed. I think the main problem is I can't take good pictures for shit.

>>13827391
I know, but the only available replacements today with that profile are acrylics. That's scratchy but at least it's the original mineral.

>>13827390
It's too early you stupid nigger.

>>13827403
replace it with a clean acrylic if you want it to sell. I don't think anybody will care that they have the original mineral crystal from the 70s. And hype up the listing, obviously - the cosmotron is a really neat watch.

>>13827212
I’m the replica guy from earlier. Fuck everything about this.
Jesus Christ. Have some standards.

Owe about another grand and then gonna have this baby under the Christmas tree this year.

That looks like shit, almost as bad as the Yacht-Master.

The explorer 2 is such a shit looking watch. Looks like something you pick up in a mall stall.
