I'm new here, why /wt/ hate this guy? He seems pretty knowledgeable and down to earth

>>14036683
-archieluxury hates him and has done a ton of content mocking him
-he promotes shitters and quartz watches in the same way he would talk about a patek
-suspicious collabs with squale and catalina
-larps a nobleman
-collects toys and other crap to fill his void

I'd say it's mostly just because ac3 hates him

>>14036683
Because he's a wholesome dude who loves watches and we all know /wt/ hates everything

So it really is only because he promotes cheap watches?
I didn't think that would be a problem given that most of this board shops at Uniqlo

Lurk a bit and you will learn to connect the dots between posts promoting ac3, calling nearly all watches shitters and throwing dirt at tgv.

TGV is l*terally a manchild whose entire persona is based around roleplaying as an old-timey gentleman adventurer.

>>14036920
Which makes it even more laughable that he only buys shitters.

Remember guys, never put a mechanical watch on the same table as a mobile phone - the vibrations from phone alerts will ruin your watch.

>>14037034
I think it's because all that swearing, yelling, and not giving a fuck what people think of him and his degeneracy speaks to a lot of losers on 4chan. Seems kinda like that they are admiring him for not being normal. The classic stance against normies and maybe they see some of themselves in archie or something. Who knows really, but archie is a ridiculous, that should be clear to any decent person.

>>14037034
Archie is an acquired taste. I also found him obnoxious at first, but eventually grew to love how authentic he is. Unlike TGV, Archie isn't a pretentious wanker putting on an obviously fake "gentleman and scholar" act for the camera.

>>14037078
Actually I just saw he has a nice Universal Geneve Polerouter, so apart from that.

>>14037088
> grew to love how authentic he is
But that's an act too. He's just an annoying cunt who doesn't have anything worthwhile to say.

>>14037088
Archie is lying more than TGV tho. He is lying about other youtubers, and he has been lying to his family and the government and he has literally scammed old people for money. But I suppose you mean that a possible fake family tree on TGV's part is much worse than scamming old people.

>>14037100
This
Archie has called that fat hispanic watchmaker on youtube a paedophile once. Truly the act of a true idiot and asshole if you ask me.

>>14037087
Yeah, exact same reference. It's not as thin as a 7123, but I've owned four Type II's, and out of those this one is the comfiest, and visually the most well balanced.

Also the 7546 is a very good movement.

>>14037119

>>14037396

>>14037382
No.

>>14037412
You can't just erase such a crime by pretending it never happened.

>>14037413
Have you seen it? Endless incel garbage, YouTube posting, 30 channels for 10 active users. There's like one watchmaker who knows stuff about watches and that's about it.

>>14037413
Do you really need almost thirty channels for fucking watches? Most of it looks like shitposting and blogging.

>>14037419
It's water under the bridge.

>>14037423
By now there are 5-6 watchmakers and also a few more non-watchmakers who knows their shit. About 30 active users I guess.

It's much better there now than it was in the beginning.

>>14037425
You have a point.

>>14036964

Personally I'm not a huge fan because he just comes off as fake somehow. Can't really put a finger on exactly what though.

>>14036683
He's alright, I like his jolly outlook. The problem is he doesn't review shit. He just says 'oh I like this' or 'Oh I like that' and really just doesn't present a reason to watch his content

>>14037640

Archie is fine if you want a laugh.
Basically he says/give the same advice all the time.
Buy a explorer 2/reverso/sub/daytona and a patek.

Can we make a list of a bunch of the most /wt/ watches and then pay archie to do a collection review on them all. Something tells me a collection full of seiko penis quartz, fake tudors and slavshit would make him pretty fucking angry

>>14037718
Yes please let's do it

>>14037325
Who knows, I hate selling watches on ebay, it's a week of no bids followed by a bidding war in the last 30 seconds. The only way of knowing if it'll sell for much is how many watchers you have.

>no Omega Speedmaster MAN ON THE FUCKING MOON

>>14037818

How does this scam work? Are the watches worth less than the shipping cost or something?

>>14037913
>just pay shipping!
>shipping costs includes the $2 cost of the watch itself
>pleb thinks "wow a free watch!" but they're paying for the watch anyway

effay or no?

I'm thinking of getting a homage of the Nautilus. I'm looking at the bagelsport ones and they look great. However they're pretty much discontinued, although you can still find some on eBay. The Chinese brand that made them apparently has renamed itself Peter Lee and kept producing them. Does anybody know if the ones produced under the Peter Lee name are any different from the Bagelsports? I know Parnis also makes a watch that's very much in the style of the Nautilus, though it has more of a twist and is more expensive. There's also the straight up replica path and with it I could get a watch that's actually nearly as thin as a real Nautilus and have similarly decorated movement, though I'd be looking to pay anywhere from 5-8 times more than the options I discussed earlier. What do you guys think? Have any of you got a Nautilus clone?

>>14038069

I love it, it looks great with the cream dial. Great contrast to the stainless steel. Good proportions and i really like the hands for some reason. If they had a no-date version, that would be neat.

>>14036802
I really like the looks of some marathons, especially the small fieldwatch like pic rel. But the tritium stuff annoys me. Not only how it looks but also that its glow will fade after 15 years.

>>14038661
That's hot

>>14038664
Do they offer any kind of tube replacement service or is it a case of "just buy a new one lmao"

>>14037018
Def wise. The only nice looking thing about the original is the bracelet.
I rally hate the fossil like screws on that case and those silly squares on the dial. Never understood the RO hype. Maybe it was hyped so that fags with money could show off and finally normies could deferentiate it from a rolex sub or some retareded reason.

>>14038675
I googled and so far nothing about marathon replacing them or offering some kind of warranty.
It would have surprised me if they had anything like that. I think you need to buy a new watch every time.
Also, tritium watches are a meme for the mainstream crowd. A regular soldier will have less pain in the ass and more bang for buck with a g-shock with a backlight.
And if people want to larp as super edgy operators then running around with a permanent lightsocurce on their wrist is retarded. It's much easier to take a quick look at your analog watch with a beta light, that's used for reading maps.

so what is exactly wrong with quartz watches?

sound spoke people just spew that hate shit because they just discovered what mechanical watches were and that the mech watch community is telling them to hate on quartz

>>14038755
nothing

>>14038755
They became cheap in the early 00's so people don't like them

>>14038755
Just another case of a "new" technology being perceived as inferior to the tried and tested original technology

>>14038755
They're like cars as opposed to horses.

>>14038755
Nothing except for most modern quartz movements are plasticky shit and it’s far more interesting to have a little clockwork machine on your wrist.

Nowhere close an omega AD and Bambino is my largest watch - Do they fit similarly? I know lug to lug is 48 vs 46, but I cannot find a single image comparison between the two.

>>14038664
You really only have two options for lume if you want it to work more than a few hours. You either get tritium, which even after it's 12 year half life still glows, or you have electroluminescent which requires you to press a button, and drains you battery faster.
Also traditional lume suffered greatly depending on exposure to sunlight, and unless you're spending thousands you can expect it to be nearly worthless in ten years.

You wouldn't brag about owning a fiesta, but you might still go on forums asking how to repair certain faults or have discussions about best starter cars. Bragging about owning it would be retarded but so would bragging about dropping several kilobucks on a vanity piece. Ultimately it's fine to discuss cheap watches as long as no one is bragging about them (which I've seen no one do in this thread) which applies equally to expensive pieces as well.

>>14039027
There you go.
>>14039031
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
>>14039046
I like both equally, but the fact that plebs buy them thinking a blue Seamaster makes them as desirable to women as Bond put me off. So I got black.

>>14039031
Why do you think?

What's the consensus on Frederique Constant? Would this be a good alternative to a Sarb033?

>>14039203
I'm not sure, all Nomos seem to have pretty long lugs for some reason. The watch is 36mm but the lug to lug is just a bit longer than my Seamaster.

>>14039109
Yes it's a strange question since the FC is more expensive than the sarb. I'd just like to know what you lot think about the brand. I think normies would think it's 'luxury' since 'Frederique Constant Geneve' is a very fancy sounding Swiss name.

The only things normal people know are Casio, Seiko, Citizen, Omega, Rolex, and whatever is in the mall. Even most rich people I know give 0 shits about "haute horologie" except the new money guy who wanted to flex (and it was one guy)

Buying an expensive watch that isn't any of those is usually more about you. It looks fine to me desu

>>14039283
I offered that one to my mother. I want a gold tone one and an Ana-digi one is always a class act.

I just got my first job, taking home 3k a month after tax. Do you think my Co workers will look down on me if I autistically save for a used gold day date? I mean, no matter what watch I buy I will still want a president so should I just save?

>>14039318

>>14038327

>>14039338
Roamer were quite a big name before the quartz crisis. I think they disappeared for a while and came back around 2003/2004. They're probably Chinese made cases & bracelets with an ETA or Selitta movement so they count as 'Swiss Made'

I bet 95% of your coworkers won't even notice your watch, and the 5% that do will either have no idea what it is or what it's worth, or if they do they'll probably assume its a cheap copy. Luxury Swissfags are only buying to impress other luxury Swissfags

>>14039193
beautiful Seamaster. If that's radium that watch must be scary hot

What do you think about the Hydroconquest?

>>14039380
>only truly autistic people would get mad about not having a period correct caseback
True about the caseback because nobody can see it anyway.
But I would judge people slightly for having the sapphire version.

>>14039397

>>14039193
whats the watch to the left of the seamaster

looks nice

What's a good royal oak / nautilus homage? I don't want to support any fake / replika stuff, so independant brand not afraid to admit it's an homage. Ideally if it's automatic and not quartz and below 1k USD.

>>14039366
no, buy it and give it to me instead.

>>14039408
Not him but it's a Seagull 1963 from HKED.

The only watch that l really have is a fucking g shock. Im considering getting another one and lm craving something analog. $100 is my budget. Any recommendations?

>>14039413
What's that watch called with the grid lines on the dial? Like a type b or type 2 or something like that.

Also I'd recommend saving 3x as long for an oysterquartz

>>14038755
There is nothing cool or interesting about quartz. It's just battery powered electronic mass prodced stuff that anyone can get. It's not special, not fun, there's no history behind it, nothing.

Yep, him.
Not only did he throw in a free alligator strap but he bumped me up to express shipping despite only paying for standard and he gives you his email and phone number in case you have literally any questions about anything. He's so such a good guy.
And the biscuits were great too.

>>14038909
I like it, it kinda looks like a cartoon watch in the good sense.

>>14039555
Yeah, his service is fantastic, my seagull came with three straps, and he fully services everything before he sends it out.

nothing wrong with quartz, but a lot of peoples (including mine) obsessions with watches comes from the mechanical engineering perspective. Fiting all of those complications into a tiny case without relying on any electronic or computerized input is more of a “we do it because we can” thing than something that is necessarily productive. Simply shows one of the pinnacles of human ingenuity.

>>14039681
Also, if your watch is going to have a battery in it, might as well just get a digital watch.

>>14039668
I'd polish that vintage Omega, its scratches make it look like a cheap chromed brass case slav watch.

The Chad Vostok 2209

How annoying is non woundable automatic movement? Thinking of picking up a skx007 but worried about the movement.
It's either the skx or a citizen promaster. I like the skx aesthetic more but kinda not sure on the movement.

>>14039768
The lack of hand-winding is less annoying than the lack of hacking if you ask me.

>>14039765
The most Chad watches one can wear are Vostoks and other Russian/Soviet brands

>>14039779
How accurate is your skx? I probably won't mind resetting the time once a month since I have to do it for the date anyway.

>>14039789
>resetting the time once a month
You reset your watch once it's five minutes off?

>>14038755
Talking about quartz on /wt/ is like discussing McDonalds in /co/. Utterly worthless.

>>14039800
Kek you clearly have never been to /ck/.

>>14039800
Weak bait.

>>14039779
You can change the movement to nh36. It has hacking and handwinding.

Would titanium watchband fit darker but not completely black watch? Or should it be black in that case?

>>14039800
They literally have McSludgeandGuts threads on /ck/ all the time.

>>14039290

Black bay 58 to be honest.

>>14039882
Are you kidding me? Get the speedy. Also unless it's a really old vintage, a 100m diver is fucking dumb.

Is the Speedmaster the ultimate bugman watch?

>>14039908
What the fuck is a "bugman"?
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Speedmaster. It's basically the perfect watch.

>>14039768
>>14039789
>>14039794

My SNK809 (same moevement as SKX) loses about 5s/d, so I just move it 1 minute every 2 weeks or so. More than likely it's already stopped from lack of wear during that period though, so I don't actually notice it that much.

Lack of handwind is a non issue if you don't spend 99% of the time sedentary. I just wobble it until it starts, set it and let wearing it do the rest.. If hacking is really a must, look into 'backhacking'. It works, surprisingly easily.. Allegedly it doesn't hurt the movement, but I don't really trust it. l

>>14039908
Yeah, but not at the fault of the watch, it's a fault of the fanbase.

>>14038755
I like the low maintenance of quartz, but I hate the little ticking and it's not as interesting as a mechanical

>>14039908
I had one. I sold it because I was disappointed by the lack of quality feeling and the hand winding annoyed me more than I thought it would. An automatically winding watch feels more tooly and means you don't have to worry about winding.
It doesn't feel like a several thousand pound watch.

>>14039880
Japanese quartz is the best quartz, only brainlets disagree

>giving a shit about youtube shills
I don't know if it's really laziness, because Rolex still definitely puts effort into putting together watches that are mechanically really really good. They're just pretty overpriced and really fucking ugly because they make a tremendous amount of money by appealing to new money Chinese people and Arabs who want something flashy that can be recognized as a Rolex from a quarter mile away.

>>14039994
> hideous maxicase design
You must literally be the only autist on the planet who thinks that. no one else gives a fuck.

Also why would they want to change designs that made them the best selling watch maker on the planet?

>>14039994
My dad has a Rolex, a gift from his dad when he turned 18.
My dad is 61 now.

It still works, he wears it every day.

When I have money, I will buy a Rolex. Because of this.

>>14040037
Literally only Arabs like maxi cases. Rolex became the best selling watch maker selling moderately sized watches with elegant sculpted cases. They're continuing to be the best selling watch maker by adjusting (ruining) their offerings to cater to the (tasteless) markets that are still actually going to the store and buying Rolex watches brand new, rather than the tastes of people on the internet who weren't going to buy one anyway.

fight me

>>14040037
Are you dumb? Have you seen the maxicase design? The whole thing looks square and makes the whole watch look more attention-grabbing and ostentatious.

>>14039397
Brilliant watch. Longines to overtake Omega as swatch number one by 2025

>>14040050
I should have mentioned but I only really mean Rolex since the rehaut and maxicase.

>>14039994
I don't think their lack of innovation comes from laziness. They made a solid, basic movement and a solid, basic case and that's all they needed to succeed. Why spend a shitload of cash developing new movements and interesting new cases and using new materials when people will buy your basic watches in droves. Rolex figured out a long time ago that good build quality and good advertising was all they needed. You have to remember that if you want a watch in an Oyster case with a Rolex movement, there's only one company that makes it. Basically, Rolex makes Rolexes. No need to make anything other than that.

With that said the supercase is fucking abhorrent and should be melted into coke cans.
It's like moving away from your cute, skinny highschool sweetheart only to come back 2 years later and find out shes a competitive body builder now and has arms and legs like tree trunks.
I mean, shes the same person at the core but you can't help but be a little disappointed

I’ve been experimenting with watchmaking on an ETA 2824, I’ve seen lots of watchmakers struggle with using tweezers on the tiny screws, jokes on them I have magnetic screw drivers. Work smarter, not harder.

>>14039908
I don't know what a bugman is but it's very fanboy-y

>>14039916
ha I'm pretty sure you've never actually thought about it
>hesalite is not practical, sapphire looks ugly
>manual wind
>no hacking
>no date (not a minus for some but far from perfect)

Still a good watch but has plenty of negatives.

>>14040090
boy i hope this is bait

>>14039886
I'm not into Tudor, they just look like fake Rolexes to me

>>14039889
it's not a real diver, that's why they also put it on a leather strap

Speedy is not such a slam dunk if you go see it live, it has a bunch of negatives. It's also a lot more expensive. I can afford it but it's def a consideration.

>>14039381
solid choice, I have a similar version as my daily wear

>>14039223
that's about the first Nomos I really like, maybe I should look at them more

>>14040065
What is and what’s so special about the oyster case?

>>14039882
Speedy is great.

I own a speedy myself. Let me tell you some things about it tho.

>its movement is oldfashion but produced in modern high quality, and it's robust as fuck
>does NOT hack - sorry buddy
>manual wind may become boring to you, but if you're like me you will enjoy picking up your watch and give it a wind
>the feel of it is more like a high quality toolwatch than a pure luxury watch, so you may or may not be underwhelmed depending on what you're into
>Looks absolutely stunning on bracelet
>Looks absolutely stunning on leather straps
>Everyone will think you have a cool watch

>>14040065
Their movements are not lazily produced at all.
Their cases are tho.

>>14039908
No. Only people who have taste wear speedmasters.
>>14039949 is the real bugman.

>>14040097
What part of it is bait? I struggle with tweezers, just because that’s the traditional way of watchmaking doesn’t mean I can’t use magnetic screwdrivers to make it easier

> buying a sub when this is 6k

>>14040169
Based.
My first luxury watch will be a JLC Polaris

>>14040090
So to avoid using tweezers you're going to magnetize the movement and fuck up the timekeeping?

>>14040114
The Club is a great watch if you can get over the lug length. The bonus is that it's their cheapest model too.

Fuck no one told me anything about magnets and watches? How fucked am I? It still runs and I’ve already cleaned and oiled it twice.

>>14040101
It's because tudors literally are made by rolex.

>>14040200
Assuming this isn't bait, magnetism can make the hairspring coils "stick together" and make the watch run way faster

>>14039864
It's great, but like I said you have to manually press the button. And it does wear down the batteries. I think it would be pretty cool though is someone went full nutter and made an entire dial out of tritium, then sealed it or the case.

>>14039210
Can the odd lines be caused by the crystal? I know domed ones distort everything, but not sure if you can see it through flat ones too.

>>14040200
>>14040223
Assuming this also isn't bait, demagnetizing a watch is very simple with a demagnetizing tool and being magnetized does no permanent harm to a watch.

>>14038755
I'll add to your (you)s.

It is snobbery, for the most part. Quartz are practical and cheap and as good as anyone needs. I own a few midrange Swiss automatics and it is largely out of vanity. Now, watch geeks will tell you it's about the love of the engineering and the horological tradition and blah blah and sure there is some truth to it. But so often it's mostly because they can walk around internally sneering at all the peasants and their "quartz shitters". They've latched on to something most people don't care about and conhinced themselves that their knowledge of the subject somejow makes them superior to others. Have you ever met one of those vinyl records collectors who swear that "It just sounds so much better without that crappy digital degeneration". It is a bit like that. Storing your music digitally is more practical and sounds just as good if not better than records, but record collectors like to feel they've tapped in to some ancient art that the sheeple can't possibly appreciate.
