>>14046152
Yeah I really don't understand that at all. Hell they had an actual Spitfire plane at the IWC booth at SIHH.

It's like Seiko launching a line named the Enola Gay.

>>14046150
I love my 7A28:

- thin and lightweight
- even as a quartz, maintains full metal construction
- chrono that isnt massive and can fit my wrist
- never need to worry about accuracy
- cyborg feels

Finally sold my steinshit. It was a 44mm flieger. Way too big, and the gold that rhey use to coat the movement is starting to fade unevenly.
But man I kinda miss that watch already. I love winding it every morning. It's like a ritual. Wtf is wrong with me.

cheers to your weekend, guys

Brutalist architecture has fans too. A sort of ugly beauty about it.

Friendly reminder that the Explorer II is the perfect watch.

>>14046480
Expensive nasty abomination of a watch. Just get a gmt master or explorer I.

>>14046583
I love what an abomination it is. It's ugly in a way that makes it beautiful.

>>14046480
It’s not a perfect watch, I’d rather see it with a non-steel bezel. Only in a snowy environment does it fit, everywhere else it’s just awkward. Maybe skiing in Gstaad but even then it seems off. It looks good but it doesn’t, it’s weird.

>>14046150
Mechanical is a black powder muzzleloader, quartz is an AK47.

>>14046675
Bait.

>>14046683
The former is obsolete and kept alive for the anachronistic and artisanal enjoyment, the latter is the current-day standard that is functionally leaps and bounds ahead of the former.

>>14046691
You’re overreaching with the muzzleloader and AK-47 statement.

I'm a watchnigger, so me taking down the watch to the bare case is like twenty minutes though.

Fuck knows what Patek AD you went to as they all know better than to be rude unless of course you looked like a hobo or acted like a dick to them.

As for the watch you should have looked at the black version, it's a perfect example of a minimal clean Calatrava.

>>14047269
buying a luxury quartz watch is an act of self harm.
If you like the oysterquartz design go for 1530 or 1630.
Sure Oysterquartz prices have risen along with all Rolexes, but if it's a bubble everything quartz will drop way harder.

'AK-47' is an American pop culture meme. It was replaced by the AKM as early as the 1950s.. By the time they switched to the 5.45x39mm cartridge and went to the 74 and 74M series, the original AK47 design hadn't been produced for 20+ years in Russia.

It's all pretty moot though, as an AK-74M is basically identical to an original AK47. Besides the caliber shrinking from 7.62x39mm to 5.45x39mm (note the case length stayed the same, as it's literally the same case necked down by a few milimeters) the main differences are in the manufacturing techniques used (stamped vs the original milled receivers)..The AK series still going stong, and far from obsolete. The minor tweaks barely justify calling it a different rifle.

Tl;dr: The analogy works. Quartz is a modern self-loading rifle design, mechanical watches are like bolt actions. (muzzle loaders may be pushing it.. those are more like sundials, or mechanical table/grandfather clocks).

>>14046932

Seems to be pretty shit then. My €10,- F91W runs about 5 seconds fast a MONTH, and my analog Citizen chrono (+-100) does even better. 4 a day for a digital quartz is retarded..

>>14047380
>RO? Nigger it’s a Nautilus

Yeah, like I said: An RO homage with a less pretty dial..

>Patek
>Visionairy
>With a rubber-strapped Royal Oak hommage >in 1997

Yeah.. Because the Royal Oak Offshore didn't come out in '93 with a rubber strap option, after Hublot started the meme in the '80s.

Haters will always hate. >>14047368 this argument can be used for anything you retard.

>>14047363

Aren't the Nip-Jews famous for their lacquering dial? The polish on their dauphine hands is unmatched (inb4 that one autist popping a fuse again), so if lacquer+dauphine is what one is after, I'd still recommend GS. (Not that I'd ever recommend dauphine hands to anyone, in any context, but can't argue about tase).

>>14047397

>Lifetime warranty on pieces of rubber
>Granted to you by one of the most expensive watch manufacturers in the world

How mighty generous of them. They still didn't set the trend though, and if that other anon is right in that you have to cut the strap to size it, they chosen the most retarded way possible of implementing it.

Imagine hating this watch

>>14047425
>this argument can be used for anything you retard.

Now you're starting to get his point: The masses are almost invariably wrong about everything. So indeed, you can very well use that argument for almost anything, and still have it be an excellent argument.

Also, is that a Royal Oak hommage with faux-patina on the lume?

>>14047424
>Tl;dr: The analogy works. Quartz is a modern self-loading rifle design, mechanical watches are like bolt actions.
Agreed.

>>14047444

Shit design if you ask me. My dad has a 40 year old silver watch with the same kind of system, and it was a shit design even 40 years ago. Doing it in the '90s is unforgivable if you ask me, especially in the 'luxury' segment of the market.. I mean, if it were an actual tool it'd be fine.. But for jewelry?

>>14047455
>It’s a 5065, now it’s obvious you don’t know what you’re fucking talking about

It's a fucken Royal Oak homage is what it is, but that wasn't my question. My question was: Is that patina'd lume faux?

>>14047393
Idiots like you think you’re better than all the designers at Patek when the slide shit you’re talking about creates bulk. They made the bezel streamlined. >>14047455

>>14047460
>Again, clean and streamline. No bulk.

Still a retarded design.

>As long as Patek exists, all their watches are covered. It’s PATEK PHILIPPE.

Very nice of them. Still though, giving out free rubber straps on watches costing 20 grand is hardly laudable... That's a basic degree of service you'd expect on any consumer product.

The fucking plebeians in this thread is revolting. „iF yOu AsK Me”. You can’t even identify the watch model you’re trying to diss. Just lol.

>>14047470
>You are fucking dense.
No, u.
>5065. Original Aquanaut. 1997.
So not 1972, meaning: Homage.
>Faux patina?
Yes. I see you're not answering the question again.. The patina is either real, which would make one doubt it's quality, as '97 isn't all that long ago, or it's faux, in which case it's yucky as fuck.
>Your fucking brain cells, where are they? You really don’t know what you’re talking about and it’s embarassing.

Do you think you come across as smarter, more classy or more impressive with all of that swearing? Because I think you're achieving the opposite..

>>14047472

I'm clearly not their client target base, as I like original designs and quality straps. With regard to being able to afford them or not: Irrelevant, whether it's correct or not.

So answer, anon.

It's either real, in which case the lume is of questionable quality.

Or it's faux, in which case it's facky as fuck.

I'm leaning towards the latter, given the context of this particular case.. (Unoriginal design, cheap badly designed strap, marketed for mass appeal), but I'm open to having my mind changed, anon.

Nice RO homage.

Looks better in white metal though.

>>14047479
You are clearly baiting. Muh homage!!! When AP released the (ugly as fuck) Offshores, were they homages? It’s not you dense fuck. Patek owns the Nautilus design. The Aquanaut’s design language clearly spawns from the Nautilus. It’s not a homage as it is a different line from Patek.

>>14047479
Because you are super fucking retarded, yes it’s real patina. Old watches from 1997 does patina. How fucking hard is it to look up and see various 5065s for sale and their different states of patina?

>>14047481
>>14047482
You’re really embarrassing yourself. Do you even know who designed the Royal Oak and the Nautilus? You’re not worth the argument when your brain cells even consider the thought of FUCKING Patek releasing watches with faux patina.

>>14047492
You need to watch more YouTube videos Mr. Watch expert. Your vocabulary only knows RO homage.

>>14047492
Depends on the model. Steel 5711 is overrated.

Patek faux patina!!!!!!!

Imagine being such an idiot that you try to disrespect Patek thinking they release watches with faux patina, thinking you’re better than all their designers in Genève, and finally, thinking the Aquanaut is a Royal Oak homage. Well done bait tbqh.

what is wrong with grand seikos? unironically

>You are clearly baiting. Muh homage!!! When AP released the (ugly as fuck) Offshores, were they homages?

More like variations.. It was kind of in the name 'Royal Oak Offshore'. I don't like them much either, but they were arguably sooner with the whole steel on rubber meme.

>It’s not you dense fuck. Patek owns the Nautilus design. The Aquanaut’s design language clearly spawns from the Nautilus. It’s not a homage as it is a different line from Patek.

The entire family is an homage to the RO.

>Because you are super fucking retarded,
Be nice.
>yes it’s real patina. Old watches from 1997 does patina. How fucking hard is it to look up and see various 5065s for sale and their different states of patina?

From '97 just seems so young for such degree of browning.

>Do you even know who designed the Royal Oak and the Nautilus?

Same dude iirc, but that's not the point. RO is the original.

>You’re not worth the argument when your brain cells even consider the thought of FUCKING Patek releasing watches with faux patina.

I found that just as incredible as the fact that their lume apparantly ages poorly, which is why I specifically asked instead of assuming one or the other.

>>14047503

Might be the pic, but the 7 & 8 look more like decay than patina.

>threadsplitters thread became a 200 post reddit argument

>>14047450
The analogy is shit.
A better analogy would be:
bolt action rifles: manual watches
automatic rifles: automatic watches
quartz watches: bullpup rifles (they offer several advantages, but nobody like them)
smart watches: tazers

>>14047530
No one cares about what you think about Patek’s lume or that you think the Nautilus design is a homage. You calling the bracelet design shit design doesn’t make it one. You can’t even tell a modern from a vintage Aquanaut and you think Patek releases faux patina dials. Your opinions are utterly worthless.

>>14047527
All Seikos are boring and cold

>>14047358
Then say assault rifle, or pick an assault rifle in use today by a major power. Not one that has been obsolete for half a century.
Might as well have said that mechanical watches are horses and quartz are Model T Fords.

Shouldve used zenmarket

>>14046957
I would just like to remind you that its no different than going after a MOTM just because a different watch, with a different movement and different lubricants was able to mostly hold up OK on the moon.

they are fucking cheap looking though, i'll give you that.

>>14047893
After using zenmarket for a little while now I definitely would NOT recommend them. Their bidding service is unreliable and their fees are exorbitant.

Their fees? Aren't their fees 300jpy per item?

>>14047196
well, no, its proof that price doesn't dictate enjoyment.

I love my vostok but its still a piece of shit that came with a misshapen case that i had to polish for an hour straight to square up, and a shit brass bezel and cheap stamped steel crown that i had to replace.

>>14047925
hahaha no. IIrc they stung me about 60-70 dollars per watch. Also you need to pay them the entire cost of the item up-front before you can bid on it. The other service I use only requires a 20% deposit.

What on Earth. I've bought at least a dozen watches off zenmarket up to $2500 and that never happened. Are you talking about the VAT that Yahoo auctions assesses on certain items?

Slightly watch related, but a few threads ago anon called a watch something that meant cool (or something along those lines) except it was some funky slang and it started with an S and I can't remember the word for the life of me. Any help friendos? (sorry if this sounds autistic)

>>14047964
seiko

>>14047964
Shit nevermind it was shway

>>14047922
sure.

First of all, you have several watches that fill the exact same niche, to the point of even being from the same manufacturer.

I'd say bring it down to 1 seiko chrono (if it were me, the flightmaster) and maybe the citizen if you want.

i like accutron quartz movements (presuming thats whats in the caravelle), not a fan of pvd and the way it ages, so i'd remove that and the gold presage.

i'd get rid of one of the other presages and buy something else you like ( i like the blue, because it doesn't have the fake blued hands of the white model)


TL;DR very focused in on one particular area

>>14047956
All know is I get hit with a ridiculous fee whenever I create a package It doesn't cost 60 or 70 dollars to ship a watch
At any rate, the unreliability of their bidding service is utterly unforgivable. I've bid on an item, their website has displayed a page saying that the bid was accepted and I've received a notification in my inbox but the bid was NOT placed and I lost the auction.

>>14047976
Shrug. Never happened to me.

>>14047980
I guess you got lucky then. I've participated in 3 auctions and zenmarket fucked up on one of them. That's not a good success rate.
Their website does not confirm the information it displays against the yahoo site before they display it.

interested in what people think of this one (mainly if there's anything i should know about it before buying)?

>>14047989
Why are you bidding tbrough a oroxy service within seconds of the auction ending? There's no point with Yahoo jp automatic extension - if anything, you want to bid 301 seconds before it ends, not 1 second before it ends.

>>14047993
It's fine. The 262khz isn't totally a meme. Of course, you can't read it on a standard quartz tester as a result. The hilarious size is pretty unfortunate.

>>14047999
it wasn't within seconds. Look at the several minutes delay between the end of the auction and the notification that the auction has ended.
I placed the bid, the auction page updated to show that I was the highest bidder and got the inbox notification that my bid was accepted. Their site is just shit.

pls dont gay

>>14047993
extremely detailed and well finished dial, retarded lug design and a little too big. Otherwise a fantastic watch for 400 dollars

How much do you have to spend on a watch for it to be considered ‘nice’ or is it less the price and more the style and what you wear it with?

Pls work.

Design, quality of the construction, materials, finishing and not quartz. Plenty of cheap vintage watches that fit all those in the $1-2k range.

Yes. Cheap shitter talk should be bannable.

>>14047546
Bullpups did not revolutionize firearms like quartz revolutionized wristwatches. Not even close.

Quartz made everything before it obsolete, and is still the most relevant system currently in place.
The same is true for the assault rifle.
The analogy in that pic is apt.

>>14048426
Bullpup: autoquartz

Everyone though they were the future in the 80's, but by now almost everyone has given up on them.

>>14047576
>AK47
>obsolete
Not only is it still one of the most ubiquitous rifles in wartime use today, the caliber itself is once again gaining traction in the form of things like .300 whisper, 300 AAC Blackout, …
prized over smaller bores like .223 among others for the better subsonic properties and cover-defeating characteristics.

Plus, quartz is still the most ubiquitous watch movement, but there are newer technologies available like radio signal watches, or HAQ watches that make standard quartz look slightly dated.
Hence the AK47.

Thanks for getting this butthurt though, had a good laugh.

>>14048451
There were even bolt-action bullpups before autoloaders came to the fore.
Bullpups in the watch world would be more something like 24h dials or something.

what makes a nice looking watch? in /fa/s pro opinion

Looks like I posted in the wrong thread (when is the janitor going to sort you guys out), I'm interested in British style service watches, seems there were a variety of offerings from different manufacturers rather than just the CWC watches I initially read about. I was wondering if there were any good comparison articles out there.

>>14048801
There are none worth owning. Except that seiko chronograph for the RAF I guess.

>>14048825
