Finally a decent watch in the op. Stay away from Tudors.

>>13961115
>Garbage Tudor thread
No thanks bud I'll stick with the subby.

Why?

>>13961291
To dab on the tudorkids

Suede strap recommendations?

>>13961185
I've never actually seen a two-tone that I've liked...ever. I'm not sure what the purpose is...to look 'kinda formal'...or 'not rich enough for full gold'. I honestly think it's stupid aesthetically...
>the only two-tone I'll accept

BAM you're transported into Monater Hunter! What watch do you take with you to survive the new world?

>>13961362
Casio gshock square but return to /v/ please

>>13961362
I don’t know some gshock because I’m a retarded larping fat virgin..

Jesus Christ, fuck your questions, new friends.

I want a JLC Polaris so much it fucking hurts! Goddamn it, why do I have to be a full time student and can only work a few times a week? Otherwise I'd just work non-stop to get one.

I ordered this.

Did I fall for the meme?

>>13961362
A G Shock Rangeman as it's got all the necessary things required for that situation. It's solar, has temperature, compass and anything else you'd need and it's super durable and shock proof.
I wore it as a soldier for all of those reasons.

>>13961417
Nope. It's beautiful. I'll probably get one myself later this year, though I have been liking the Ludwig a bit more as of late.

>>13961414
Really? It's kinda dull looking

>>13961417
>those flat stick lugs
Yes.

>>13961420
It's clean, classic and beautiful.

what strap should i get for this 009j my wife got me for xmas, /fa/?

I kinda want a brown leather nato on here, but im afraid it will be too thick.

>>13961469
also longtime lurker, first automatic etc trashpost

>>13961469
Get some flavor of strapcode bracelet. If I'm not mistaken they should have specific endlinks for the 009.

>>13961469
Strapcode bracelet

>>13961346
what an ugly watch

Where should I look to find used luxury watches? Where do you guys get used stuff?

Hellooooo
https://youtu.be/gRGSw3CBUes

>>13961515
If you want specifically Rolex then Bob's Watches is pretty good, I bought from them and was very happy. The prices are mostly fair but a little higher than what you could maybe find on ebay, but it seems a lot less risky to me.

Chrono24 seems to have a pretty large selection but I've never bought anything from there.

Ebay has the largest selection of all, but you better do lots of research and be very careful so you don't get screwed.

What watch was joshu trying to buy?

I think he laid out 520,000 yen on the table to purchase it

>>13961581
Just looks like a seamaster to me.

>>13961418
Thoughts on the frogman?

>>13961346
I've accepted this one as a two tone.

50 bucks?

>>13961469
French/US/Thai nato or jubilee are the only two options for 009. However that is a 007, isn't it?

>>13961651
It's a good watch, but the Rangeman does everything the Frogman does and more, that's why I got it.

I had a specific reasons for getting it though, as I was a soldier and was doing some pretty crazy stuff, I actually used the compass feature to plot an azimuth for my map, and the sun rise and set feature was invaluable for letting me know when I needed to get my night vision ready.
Outside of a hardcore outdoorsy type or military or law enforcement, I can't see people using these watches as they're huge, bulky, ugly as sin. Doesn't seem an everyday watch though.

>>13961709
Sorry, disregard that last bit, I didn't see the red lart of the bezel because of the reply form.

>>13961185
Two tone is goat, but imo not gold enough for people to really care. My tudor was a cool little watch, but too normie watch for me.

>>13961362
The full metal solar gshock

>>13961760
Keep the Tudors on the other thread please

recommend me a metal watch band for this.

I prefer the rubber but because it's not metal it doesn't slide up and down my arm as much so I am ending up with watch tans lol

>>13961760
Two tone may have been cool in the 80s but now it's incredibly dated. And the tudor just looks like a knock off rolex

>>13961581
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronometer, no helium escape valve on the top left though.

>>13961815

>>13961469
Get the leather NATO and cut off the keeper strap

Is this ok?

>>13961469
>leather on a diver
Get you favourite Strapcode bracelet, they're great for the price. I've got a super oyster on my SKX and it's pretty good.

>>13961815
A Strapcode super engineer would suit that I think.

>>13961870
Yes

Is it wrong to want a Fortis IQ?

Tudor is the ultimate toolwatch.
Prove me wrong.

What would you choose? Blued baton hands or...

>>13961948

Gold baton hands?

The meme writes itself.

>not buying the pelagos instead of the BB

>>13961958
Keep coping with your shitty 50$ chink seiko or timex

wtf is this "tool" watch meme I keep hearing about.

all watches do the same shit. ie tell time. maybe divers watches since they can be used underwater and have the bezel to track how long you under for. but other than that am I missing something?

Buying first watch, Rolex OP or Explorer 1? Bonus: Which is less likely to get stolen by nignogs

>>13961948
The blue is nicer.
>>13961955
Nice, I went with the 007 bezel insert though.

>>13962000
That's a pretty tasteful insert too, I was pretty close to going with it too. That or the Pepsi.

>>13961996
Just buy the watch you want, if you are going to spend that much money on a watch you shouldn't have to ask a Montenegrin fishing forum which one to buy.

I wish I was successful enough to justify buying a Rolex. I have more than enough saved by being a nolife but it would just feel wrong.

>>13961976
Fella, I can upgrade my watch, you can't upgrade your skin.

>>13961820
Its because it is made by rolex at rolex, with eta movement.

>>13961987
It is a divers tool, therefore tool. But most tools here dont use it as a tool so it is simply a watch.

>>13962000

>>13962029
Ask yourself if Modern Rolex is worth your money, by this I mean how much are they riding on the coattails of the innovation and success of Old Rolex.

>>13961948

>>13961760
How much did you sell it for?
Wish the Style didn't have that awful date window

>>13962086
Same price I bought it for around 1000 bucks.

>>13962057
How much innovation is there now in the watch world? I don't want any complications in it. I only have shitters but my dad has a Submariner and GMT, both just feel and look amazing

Was thinking about copping this one with a steel bracelet. Good pic? Or should I cop a Seiko Presage instead?

Threadsplitters deserve to be pushed to the ground and have their head stamped on until they die.

Prove me wrong.

>>13962029

Buy a Longines instead. Still expensive enough to make you treasure it and reliable tested eta movements. Swiss luxury watch without the guilt of dropping 8k and starving your family to pay for it. Fantastic brand heritage, been around about 70 years longer than rolex. Choice of fine dress to divers watches. Its the modern choice for today's "I earn more than average and enjoy fine things but have a family to feed and fear a recession" modern man.

>>13962121
Seiko presage are pretty thick my man. Have you seen one IRL?

>>13962121
Well diver or dress?

>>13962127
Not yet, but they look fairly elegant on picture

>>13962131
They are nice. I just felt they wore too high on my wrist after then trying slimmer watches from other brands. It's a preference thing but try to see one before buying.

>>13962141
I will anon, thanks for the heads up!

>>13962122

Like your fake Tudor?

>>13961418
I considered buying one but i'm a wrislet. That thing would look ridiculous on me. The Frogman would be even worst. I suggest to consider the Protrek one as an alternative.

>>13962310
No, like posting Seikos and quartz shitters every other post.

Jesus, you guys are savage.

>>13962348
That's a cute ham, I don't have one yet but I've always dug the full day name

>>13962314
Your fake Tudor is literally worse than any $1 chinkshit quartz

>>13962339
No, the pictures of David Beckham wearing one are real. He wears them for their advertising campaign that he signed up to. He mistakenly signed the deal because he cannot read very well and thought he was signing up for a personal tutor. After the shoot he has a senior Bishop of the Catholic Church clean his wrist with holy water before wearing his rolex daytona again so as to not cross contaminate a quality timepiece with filth. The true irony is this is all for show as he cannot tell the time either.

>>13961996
Both great choices but I would go with an explorer. Also consider a Grand Seiko Spring Drive if you want a more accurate and better finished watch.

>>13962371
i shed a tear knowing beckham looks at any watch he owns and frowns

>>13962029
Go vintage, two tone datejusts and turn-o-graphs are the way to go.

It’s up! https://youtu.be/Y831oji3MHo

LMFAO kys

>>13961996
If you can choose get the explorer 1 and don't listen to the pathetic faggot always shilling his disgusting grand shitters

>>13961948
>>13961951
The blued hands pop off the dial in pics and in person far more than the gold. Furthermore, the reason the blue is better in the long run is that the champagne dial is what reflects in low light situations, so you want contrasting hands to tell the time easily. e.g. With a black dial, you want white hands (think Speedmaster), and with a white dial, you want black hands. With the reflective face on this watch, you want darker hands to contrast, so go blue for the long run.

The Gold tends to look really good on the black face version. Is this the same Anon from last week?

>>13962448

>>13962393
>>13962395
He was just phone posting. Even if it wasn’t real, there’s a damaged Lange out there

>>13962377
How much are the Japs paying you to shill their shitters? I heard they’re trying to break in the US market.

>>13962468
I wish they were paying me. They are absolutely clueless about marketing but they make an amazing watch.

>>13962442
It's a 009, it can look more black depending on the lighting.

or find second hand citizens

>>13961870
it's nice anon but I sincerely hope you're left handed

>>13962500
No problem Anon. I'm very happy with mine, though I got it from watchunique (based in Netherlands I think). As I said before, HKED has a sterling reputation, so it should be fine when you receive it.

Usually they come on shitty straps, so be prepared to buy a better one if you feel the need. It's a surprisingly light watch (as in, not heavy), and the acrylic crystal bends the light in a really cool way (I'm used to sapphire crystals, so this was a cool gimmick I wanted to experience, like with the Speedys).

Also, if this is your first mechanical winding watch, then you might experience what I did when I got mine. Normally I have a tiny moment at the end of the day when I think to myself whether or not I've worn my automatic wind Omega enough for it to survive the night and keep time. With the manual wind 1963, there is no stress at all...you wind it up when you want to use it, set the time, and off you go. If it stops after 2 days and you're not wearing it, that's no problem...you just let it rest until the next time you want to wear it.

I don't know...it shouldn't be stressful, but I've come to actually enjoy manual wind watches a lot lately, and I definitely will never get a watch winder...but these are the random things of life.

>>13962563
I've got a few ideas for the strap, ranging from two piece natos to perlon or flat strip leather. Will see what I'm working with when it arrives.

>>13962542
>TUDORS AREN'T UGLY

>>13962606
Beyond the lack of crownguards I don't have a huge problem with tudor but I'd never buy one simply because that stinking paki likes them. eww.

>>13962598
The watch is actually quite thick, so I've found that having it on a nato actually doesn't work for me too well.

That being said, there's lots of potential for colours. Red and blue work because it makes the hands pop. Traditional brown works because of the face, and of course black always. Hell, even bright yellow or gold works (because of the indices); it's a very versatile watch in terms of dressing up/down.

Hope you can sleep Anon...I was excited as hell for mine for two weeks straight...

At least something deserving of my seiko collection!

>>13962634
i like it but at the same time don't want to wear a commie star

>>13962632
I'll fully accept that as a reason to avoid a Tudor

I don't really like dive watches in general but if you had to have one I just don't know why you would choose a watch that looks plain ugly and doesn't even look well constructed. And at least if you're going to buy an ugly dive watch don't be a retard and try to wear it with a leather strap as well

>>13962649
Eh, it's the price you pay for the cheapest column-wheel chronograph on the market. That being said, HKED's 1963s that follow the prototype designs doesn't have the star at all, so it's an option if you feel that way.

>>13962669
I thought the price you pay would be the watch shitting the bed after a year or two

Will I get beat up if I put a grey perlon on a blue diver?

>>13962706
It's been a year, and mine is still holding to +0.5 per day. It's possible your information is out of date or simply inaccurate. If you look on the WUS forum, there is plenty of room for people to complain about the watch if it was a complete unreliable shitter. But given the numbers of satisfied vs. non, I think it's safe to say it's like any other low-budget mechanical. If the movement is well oiled and clean, then the watch will run as well as any Venus 175.

Today a customer brought me a late-production Bulova Accutron he bought on Ebay for examination, whether it works or not. Looks like he didn't even know what tuning-forks were.

So I replace the West-German (obviously dead by now) mercury-oxide battery with a new silver-oxide one, give the watch a light whack against the workbench and it starts right up.

He asked me whether it needs a service, I told him it won't hurt, but there's only probably one or two watchmakers in the country who can service tuning-forks, and I can't responsibly take it in for service, as I've never done it either.

Anyway it was the first Accutron I've seen someone have irl, apart from mine, a Citizen Hisonic clone, pic related. I've won two more Hisonics on Buyee, I'll be servicing those, so if I fuck up I'll still have a working one.

Reminder there are only 3 brands that normies have heard of. Nobody will care about your JLC, Tudor, IWC etc.

>>13962735

Absolutely untrue. I guess if you're talking about people who don't care about watches AT ALL, then you speak the truth. But people with a slight interest in watches will have heard of most of those famous brands you mentioned.

>>13962632
It's in the same tier as any other no name sub homage like Steinhardt or Ginault but it costs 3 to 7 times as much. It says a lot about people who buy and wear Tudors

Stop being so insecure.

>>13962944
Everyone knows Breitling.
You can add Movado to the list too. Not the same tier but everyone knows them.
And wealthy people know of JLC and anything nice. Dunno if you're counting them as normalfags.

There's a Breitling ad with Brad Pitt on YouTube

Breitling is one of the most normie shite brands for watches there is. Found in every mid-tier mall.

Aaand we’re live!

Does anyone have any suggestions for automatic watches with only shows time and has power reserve (no date, no day, etc..)? Similar to pic related, which has been discontinued.

>>13962555
Pls kindly explain why

>>13962903
Too many quartz shitters and too few proper horological pieces. I'm happy when I get a 7S26 or a soviet three-hander.

Got a NOS Maruman bracelet for this 1978 Silverwave. Dinged-up the endlinks a bit trying to grind and bend them into place, but I don't mind, at least now it matches the condition of the watch. Probably would have looked better on a Jubilee-style though.

>>13962843
Thanks Anon; ignore the troll, it's not me. I find the Seagull to be an exceptional watch for the price-point. It's essentially 'your first column-wheel manual-wind chronograph'. The finishing is fine but ordinary and very basic, the hands look like they were cut using rather blunt scissors, and on close inspection with a loupe you do see how the movement is definitely a reliable workhorse but is not at all 'finished' in the way that even a basic Omega pre-co-axial movement would be finished (I'm thinking the older Speedy 861s or the Seamasters that use the ETA ebauche).

It almost reminds me of the 1960s, when a watch was something you could afford after a week of pay. This like that; a mechanical watch that is basic, reliable, and affordable, without bells and whistles. No selling points of 'heritage', 'tradition', 'craftsmanship', etc.. No selling points of 'social status' or name recognition'. Just a watch that tells time reliably and accurately, and is affordable.

I still think that if Seiko had the interest in this movement, they could produce a similar one with better finishing like their low-end mechanicals that we see here. That would destroy the competition....

>>13963135
I reached it a month or so ago. I came to the conclusion that money spent on a physical object (that isn't directly related to my survival) was money destroyed. That in truth it would be far better for me to focus on having my money 'work' for me through investments etc.

The worst part was that I thought I'd test myself, because watches really are the only other thing I would love to spend money on, so I went out to try a bunch of them on that I'd always 'dreamed' about. Rolex Day-Date, JLC Reverso, Speedy, etc. It was the most disappointing thing...the Rolex definitely wasn't worth what they were asking for it, the JLC felt so light that as my brother put it, 'it could have come out of one of those gumball machines at the arcade', and for whatever reason the Speedy looked awful on my wrist (for the first time in my life...normally it looks amazing).

I'm cured of the need to buy physical possessions just because they're there. As for visiting these threads...well, I come here because you never know what you'll see, and I enjoy bantering with some of the regulars about random stuff. Also, there's always an Anon who is coming across the Seagull for the first time, so I can at least let them know that it probably won't stop working if they clap their hands.

As for your collection, keep the chronograph...it's the only one that does something different. That's what I'd do. I have a few watches in my collection, but I only regularly wear 1, with a second one for when I feel like something different. Having more than 3 watches would be a nightmare for me....I'm the kinda guy who wants one for all time.

>>13963218
What do you have in the collection?

>>13963204
Seiko does produce a pretty affordable chrono, but with the current poor state of business for lower end Seikos, such a drastic movement would be the deathknell for the chronograph competition but also Seiko themselves

>>13963251
Omega Seamaster pre-co-axial (from around 1995) is my primary workhorse and diving backup, and I got it full serviced from Omega last January so it's like-new; the Seagull 1963 is the secondary, which I use for fun (and no water).

My first mechanical was a Rotary I bought as a student, and it uses a Miyota movement that is automatic winding. I never wear it, but I remember good times with it. I had two Panerais, and they're both with my brother now and he enjoys them. I didn't want to sell them, as the titanium with the bracelet is very rare now, and so I gave them to him because he likes those for their look.

Beyond that, I never bothered. Earlier this year, I was planning to get the grail, but once I'd achieved the capability (i.e. saved enough for it) I stopped wanting it. I don't know...something clicked in my head that made me think this whole thing was rather foolish. Not in a bad way, per say...just that now that it was no longer a grail, or nearly unattainable, the value of having it on my wrist plummeted. Then that feeling translated into lots of other things as well, and I began to feel like the value of something I own comes directly from the experiences I've had with that object through my life. That's what makes it unique. Now, if I didn't have a single watch at all, and I had to buy one, that's another story. But I have plenty of them....and the ones I wear the most are the ones that have been through great and difficult times with me.

I still like watch aesthetics and looking at beautiful things, of course. But the need, the feeling of wanting to own something has left me entirely. Such is life...

>Pic is the titanium. My bro loves it, so at least someone is wearing it and enjoying it, and it stays in the family. The two-piece bracelet was normal back then...now they do a simpler and less costly one-piece...that's why it's rare. I know people here don't like Panerais, but to each his own.

>>13963282
That makes sense. I was just thinking out loud...lol

Why dont you wear flashy fakes? Gets me a lot more attention, and girls love it when youre fashionable. I bang 10yr younger grills all the time, real top lookers. Its not all because the watch, but a lot of the girls play or take a closer look, but never when Ive worn "shitters" as you refer to them. Gurls dont even know what audemars is but that "it looks good with your blue suit"

>>13963282
>poor state of business for lower end seikos
I thought they were doing well. Even the skx is still being brought new.

>>13963294
And also this /fa/ and desu "normies" care so much more the whole package, are you dressed well, clean looking etc. Unless you have a real banger piece of jewelery or watch they dont really care. People just like really, really shiny objects and nice colours.

>>13963294
>why don't you become a shallow piece of shit who doesn't actually care about watches
2/10 I replied.

>>13963303
No, they had to expand Grand Seiko outside of Japan to cover their basic Seiko losses. "To sell watches to gaijin is dishonoru to the famiry". Straight quote from the old CEO of Seiko but the new one blessed us with GS American Big Penis Limited Edition

>>13962837
Please tell us all about you'd buy a $6k watch that says "Wal-Mart" on the dial, with a decent (albeit derivative) design and an off-the-shelf movement.

>>13963145
/fa/wt/ is fucking trash. These mongoloids are unforgivable normies.

>>13963135
How are you liking that flieger?

>>13963135
Not exactly nirvana, but I do have a decent selection and no desire to buy any more shitters. My taste has finally exceeded my current financial situation.

I took a long break from YouTube and forgot to download a certain video. Does anyone have the video of Paul having a meltdown on a live stream threatening to expose Federico for fucking underage boys?

>>13963399
/g/ wasn't really that much better. That one shitposter followed /wt/ into /fa/ anyway, so I don't even see the point of having moved the threads. If that guy was half as dedicated towards doing something useful as he is at shitposting, he would have cured cancer by now.

>>13963399
Do you really expect people on a Taiwanese masturbating bulletin board to buy expensive well crafted watches every week for your own amusement?

>>13963451
Whos the shitposter? Cant remember anyone truly shitposting on /g/ except the few watch autists including me and tripfaggs.

>>13963458
the kid with the fake tudor

>>13963461
It's real you uneducated scum.

>>13963461
Lol would have been more of a story if he atleast owned an expensive time piece...

Truly weak shitposting imo, but its working somewhat. At least i remembered the shitty red tudor.

Literally the Red Black Bay has aged like fucking milk, look at the 58, no red bezel anymore, huzzah.

>>13963468
The red tudor fakes were one of the better fakes ever made, this is coming from lots of forum feedback and my own analysis in graphical software. I do not know if yours is one since I do not care.

Can anyone sauce me that guide to buying authentic soviet watches that people seem to use here? It's got pictures for all the watch variations and how to spot a frankenwatch

I sent Archie an email saying he should treat his sons better ( he gave one of them nothing for Christmas but instead cancelled a 70 dollar debt) and now he wants to ring me. What do I do?

>>13963502
Uh, give him your number and fucking hit record when he calls. What kind of question is that?

>>13962411
Dont the minerva ones have their writing on the dial, the eta shitter don't.

>>13963526
Obviously this.

>>13963502
My dad stopped getting me shit for Christmas when I was like 11 but I hate him for other reasons.

I really really love this watch but I am not ready to spend so much money on a japanese watch. Is there a western equivalent to this watch?

>>13963574
How’s your butt?

>>13963658
Not without spending more than you would on the snowflake.

>>13963658
Well god damn *spits in ranch*
I don’t know Cleatus. Do we white ombres manufacture such thangs?

>>13963662
Also even spending more isn't a guarantee that the finishing would be better.

>>13963660
Still sore and scabbed.

As far as orients go I have a thing for the orient star semi. It's small seconds though, not sure if you're into that.

What's your price range? Do you have any other considerations?

>>13963007
Not sure why, but I love the Phoibos Octopus.

>>13963294

>>13963527
Only difference is the ones with the Minerva movements have the reference of the movement on the dial.

The shitty Mont Blanc logo is still front and center.

>>13963658
No.

Even Langes don't even come close to the external finishing of Grand Seiko. Pic related.

Yes. Get a Casio MDV106.

>battery on my watch ran out

Is it ok to go to a new year's party with a non functioning watch? Like, will girls notice? Or should i just go without one?

Fuck, just give me the Discord link. This place is fucking trash.

Sorry lads.
gg no re

Seiko will always be linked to cheap XX$ watches, they’re trying to distinguish their Grand Seiko line but it will never work. Normies would laugh behind your back when they find out how much you paid for a “Seiko”, they try to hold back turning their noses as they say “nice Seiko”, WIS people act interested but deep down you know it’s always about the European watches. There’s no zing, there’s no oohs and aahs with a watch bearing the name Seiko on its dial. It all boils down to brand perception. It just looks so desperate when you go justify it with “but the finishing!!1!1”. Here’s a fact it’s the Japanese trying to compete with the Europeans and not the other way around.

>>13964683
Can't make out shit.
Post an actual macro, like here >>13964746

>>13964749
>buying a watch to impress normies

I would hope the finishing is better

>>13964754
Grand Seiko is just cope for people who can’t afford European watches with pedigree. Seiko’s cheap image is something they can never shake off. It’s their fault for mass producing cheap quartz watches.

>>13964757
>>13964754
>>13964636
That's a hard yikes from me, lads.

>>13964757
Post your European watches with pedigree

Lel, Nips don’t even engrave their “Grand Seiko” movements, they screenprint it with paint like a ,50$ made in China t-shirt.

>>13964750
Not him but it's clear when you look at the pic in full size that they have fucked up the finishing

>>13964775
You can't make out anything. An actual macro would solve that problem.

>>13964772
But they are engraved.

>>13964779
Not on the pic that guy posted lmao

>>13964778
You see uneven edges on a watch that branded itself on even edges. To me that is a sign that they are more sloppy than people make them out to be.

>>13964796
This

>>13964683
The fuck.. I didnt expect this on a gs

Nice gaps. Nice right-justified, uncentered date wheel.

>>13964796
I've seen many GS and they are sometimes uneven. I think the problem lies with the technique they use to manufacture those edges, sometimes it backfires. I would hope that their quality control gets improved in the future.

>>13961815
Shark mesh would look good on it

>>13964796
You can't see shit on that pic.
Post an actual macro.

There are a large number of GS macros itt, and they're all flawless.

>>13964807
>I've seen many GS and they are sometimes uneven
Great, so post some shots that prove it.

>>13964780
Except that movement is engraved too.

Large number of macros the same GS watch from the same photographer, of course those macro photos are going to be the same moron, it doesn’t mean other GS are the same.

>>13964824
They're not all from the same photographer, lmao.

Great, so post some macros.
