>Well then I'm an idiot who owns Grand Seiko's and Rolexes and enjoys them both.
Saying you enjoy them both equally is very different from saying the level of finish is the same.
Because it very obviously isn't.

Sup /wt/, thinking of buying pic related. It's 160$. I love the bauhaus design but is the watch ok? Or is braun DW tier?

>>14055437
Okay. The level of the finishing is better on my Rolexes. Happy now?

You're a funny guy. How's that autism working out for you in the real world?

>>14055538
Autism is what horology is all about.

Is this a good watch?

>>14055545
It's generic and derivative in every single way.

>>14055538
If you aren't autistic, you'll have zero actual interest in mechanical watches outside of badge prestige.
That explains why you love Rolex so much.

Polite reminder that you should reconsider your use of autism as a derogatory term. Autism is a serious condition that affects millions of adults and children. Being an obsessive pretentious watch snob is usually unrelated to the condition. Would you laugh at a guy in a wheelchair? Or laugh at a parent whose child has cystic fibrosis? Let's grow up people.

>>14054633
Post watches fit for honorable men who believe in a worthy cause.

Yes, and not the parent but the kid sure.

>>14055440

Better quality than DW probably, and a much better story behind them. I think Braun is cool, go for it. Maybe look into some of the variants, there are some with quite interesting straps&bracelets.

>>14055440
>>14056510

The chronographs on steel bracelets are all twice as expensive though, for some reason..

>If the clocks had an unlikely start, the story of the analog watches is almost even more unlikely: In the late 1970s big clients of Braun, business clients buying several pallets of appliances, were sometimes rewarded with a little gift. And somebody within the company had gone for the trend in the 1970s of plastic Japanese giveaway watches with your company logo on it. When Dietrich Lubs first saw such a "Braun watch" he got very upset. "Such flimsy watches were just not Braun-worthy. 'This is just not right!' I said to Rams, who simply replied. 'So, make a proposal for an analog Braun watch then?'"

So extremely German..

But Rolex puts you through this weird love-hate rollercoaster as you learn more about watches.
And you can't deny that Rolex is THE brand for badge whores.

>>14056959
> Most popular high end watch brands sells the most watches to people with money even those that are idiots or have no taste.
I'm shocked I tell you, simply shocked.

>>14057005
The fun begins when these rubes insist Rolex has extremely high-end external finishing, when most iconic Rolexes were always relatively crude tool watches that in many ways have become even less finely finished in modern times.

>>14057012
>have become even less finely finished in modern times.
Switching away from this radial brushing on the top of the lugs was a mistake imo.

>>14057012
I'm not sure what your point is exactly. All watches in the past had worse external finishing than they do today. Even someone like Patek had clear flaws on vintage models.

>>14057041
Rolex has a unique position in the market thanks to name recognition. As a result they were able to simplify their external finishing to facilitate automated production.
Their cases no longer have bevels for instance.

Moving the thread to /fa/ was a mistake. Now people just argue about expensive watches. I miss the days of the bagelsport.

Itt; a bunch of losers act pretentious and pretend that their "high end fakes" aren't fake while also same fagging praising themselves.


Protip: shows amount of unique posters in thread.... it's cool you bought a $400 Rolex sub that you think looks 1:1 but it looks fake. .

>>14058365
No one here has posted a fake. Even if they did they would get deservedly mocked for it.

Just sad. Save up for a different brand of you need a watch immediately or save up for a Rolex.

>>14058409

>>14058409
> "Artificially inflated"
Bullshit. In that same period the USD / CHF exchange rate has increased by 5:1, almost exactly the same as your charts shows. Learn to economics.

>>14058409
That graph doesn’t prove anything. Rolex hasn’t been doing the same thing since 1957. Sure you guys will meme on r&d but r&d. Infastructures, service centres all over the world, adverts and sponsorships, and other costs. It’s not just a hunk of steel and brass.

>>14058436
Increased demand, increased production. You need more watchmakers, dial makers, machinery operators etc etc. And since you’re globa nowl, you have to have global presence, boutiques, service centres. More people to pay. And lastly nobody works for free, of course they’re putting a premium on the tag.

I think I found my end game grail watch. If I don’t end up killing myself. This Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar. 65 days of power reserve at 12mm!

>>14058458

>>14058458
The dial is a bit of a mess because it's meant to showcase the tech, rather than be an actual wearable watch.

>>14058458
Possibly the best piece of watch making at SIHH this year. That or the JLC Gyro.

>>14058466
I agree but I still sort of like it but will probably wait until the tech is put into some cheaper models in the coming years.

Redpill me on replicas. Are they really good?

Actual thread is this way:
>>14058672
>>14058672
>>14058672

>>14058681
>Are they really good?
No, for several reasons.
Manufacture can be sophisticated, but it's just about getting the thing passable as genuine to an untrained eye. Even the most refined replica will be spotted by an expert in a close inspection.
Replicas are counterfeit goods, which are illegal in most countries, so they have zero value since they can't be reselled (you would commit a crime).
Movements are usually counterfeit ETAs; even if they state it's swiss ETA, how could you trust those fuckers?
So, watches that originally use ETA movements are more easy to counterfeit (such as Panerai), but still will be spotted as fake.
Some "high level" Rolex replicas try to counterfeit the movement too, but they usually turn up as tragedies since such movements, while they might fool an untrained eye, are utterly imprecise and prone to break very easily.

How good is longines?

>>14058926
A very good vintage back catalogue. Today the know they can't compete against high end HH brands so have found their niche with decent cheap mechanical watches.

>>14058926
The VHP seems interesting, other than that meh.

>>14058368

I like the Braun designs. Skagen not so much.. I think Braun mostly uses Swiss quartz movements btw.

With regard to the autism factor: Well duh. That's why watch threads even work on 4chan.

Okay /wt/, I've been working on two Panerais recently, one fake and one real.

Can any of you tell which one is legit or fake?

>>14059409
>Can any of you tell which one is legit or fake?

Nope, but just for the memes I'll say the left one is real.

I've heard some Panarai fakes are hard to distinguish even by Panarai ADs.. Though that allegedly says more about Panarai than the quality of the fakes.

could you guys stop being such tremendous faggots and just have one thread? thanks

>>14059409
Right looks fake, left simply looks old.

Hello fellas, I recently acquired a JLC master ultra thin moon, and I love it! It's very elegant, particularly in the design of its dial and markers. Does anyone know of any other watches which make use of similar "triangular" markers in this same way (applied, detailed)? I have heard they're a hallmark of swiss watches, but I couldn't find any modern examples from other swiss manufactures. Is this now something that only JLC really does?

>>14059434
>>14059409
Yeah, actually the left one is the real one.

Also here's a genuine 80's Breitling I got for a battery change. It looks kinda nice, not as gaudy as the current ones.

>>14059499
Here's the movement. A Breitling B232, actually a Japanese Morioka Tokei Y653 / Miyota Y652.

I don't know the exact background of this movement but Morioka is now owned by Seiko, and Miyota is of course Citizen.

Hesalite or sapphire crystal for a Speedmaster? And why?

>>14059562
Hesalite, looks much better. Having some polywatch around to polish it if you scratch it isn't such a big deal to be honest.

>>14059572

>>14055543

>>14059495
Vacheron Constantin still have them for a lot of their watches.

>>14058381
Avoid Swineshart like the plague unless you have beefy wrists. Fuckers put super long lugs on all of their watches.

>>14058422
The materials/parts that go into making a watch cost ten to twelve bucks tops. Everything else is labor costs plus smoke & mirrors marketing bullshit.

I only wear the finest bootlegs

>>14058926
Longines are great. Their branded Eta 2892 movements in the 1.5-2k range are coming out of the box with <1spd accuracy. The backs of the movements are even presented well. VHP quartz is up there with the worlds most accurate.

>>14059858
Absolutely iconic, my friend. I'd pop 'em both on nylon straps for extra class.

It's a fun hobby.

>>14060835
It looks like shit.

>>14061331
Is right. Which is a shame, because
>>14060835 has a movement derived from the Lemania 5100, so it should be very tough and reliable. It's the cheapest chronograph with a vertical clutch and an hours counter that I know of.

I’m thinking of going Patek Phillippe and buying a stock ETA and finishing it myself. Ebauche style. I have patience and time, has anyone else done this by themselves? Only thing is, the perlage and Geneve stripes can’t be done without a machine, although the stripes may be possible by hand? Anyone know techniques?

>>14060835

>>14064252
Well if you judge a fashion watch only on design then Gucci make some of the nicest looking ones with better than average build quality.

>>14064942
There aren't that many handwind high beats out there (assuming you mean 5hz+). The Seiko 5740 and 45xx series would count. I believe all the citizen 36k movements as well as the 60s/70s swiss 36k movements are automatic. The breguet 10hz is handwind though not super accessible.

>>14064964

>>14064980
That's not that far at all. Pic related the hack lever in the Seiko 6R15 goes around the edge of the movement.

Pic related, ETA's pretty much perfect implementation of hacking.

>>14065004
>>14065006
Actually, yeah it is the hacking lever I’m dumb http://thejourneguy.com/why-a-journe-does-not-hack/

Had no idea the lever actually stops the balance wheel, I thought it was just a part in the keyless works

>>14065013
I remember being surprised when I learned how a hack worked. "so it disconnects the power from the balance, right?" "Nah we just clamp a brake up against it to stop it from moving."

>>14065041
If it works, it works lol I don’t know how I didn’t put it together when I’ve watched multiple videos of Anthony Haas talking about their tourbillon stop mechanism doing the same thing

How come only old stuff does it? Why did Seiko go from making rock solid 28k and up movements in everything to throwing the 7s26 and slight variations of it everywhere? I was told Seiko was the best shit per dollar, is this still true?

>>14065146
That’s not cool.

Archie is a twat. Put's on an act to get people to pay money to shit on their watches. Only cares about resale value and none of his videos have any educational value or are real reviews of a watch.

>>14065181
To pay for external finishing because those movements are harder to make. Can you honestly look at a King Seiko and say it looks better than a presage?

>>14065365
they dont

>>14065071
I think it's a bambino.
I don't know the bambino strap what came with it

>>14061983
it's an advertisement, he's just wearing it for the photoshoot

>>14062047
it's jewelry for men, if you want the time just ask your assistant and he'll check his digital casio

How big is too big for a watch? I feel very comfortable with a 40mm watch but it seems everything nowadays is around 44

>>14065454
depends on your wrist measurement

Oh I'll go, linus tech tips.

Grail is a birth year Explorer. 1992. Have the money but yet to find it

so whatever happened with Breitling? Are they still cool?

Looking for a Seiko or a brand of similar quality.
Price range is <799.
I prefer a leather band.
I prefer a simpler face. Nothing too busy.

>>14066019
He's an egotistical manchild who tries way too hard to seem like an old-timey gentleman adventurer.
Also, he caters to poor plebs by making excuses for cheap low-quality watches.

>>14066336
>Also, he caters to poor plebs by making excuses for cheap low-quality watches.
Such as?

Cop or not?

>>14066390
Cop

>>14066390
Cop it

>>14066299
anything specific about the 92 or is it solely the birth year?

>>14064174
>paying more than $50 for a 7s36
Uh what? The seiko 5 movement is garbage.

>>14064166
Bambinos rotars are loud as fuck. Great watch for that price, but you should know about that before you buy it.

>>14061686
I like the smiley sun face

ETA Valjoux 7750 and Valjoux 23 Skeletized

>>14066619
>>14066622
What's the case material? Also can you take a top down, overhead photo of the valjoux 23?

>>14065933
I love that protos watch

>>14066625
Yellow gold and stainless steel, there is a version with the case completely made of gold but I couldn’t get my hands on it for a decent price.

>>14066311
I love their new Navitimer 8. Looks great in my opinion, especially on a leather strap.
Too bad I've made up my mind that my next watch is an IWC Pilot Mark XVIII, so the Navitimer will have to wait

>>14066299
Wouldn't 1992 be a 14270 and not a 1016? If you're looking for a 14270 I would think you might as well just get a 114270 instead since it's strictly better and looks exactly the same.

The 1016 is pretty cool too, but they're fucking expensive.

>>14064059
pull that thing out and just feel how wet the pussy gets

>>14066540
Birth year, plus it's still tritium lume so maybe it'll age some eventually and it'll have drilled lugs

>>14066336

Still waiting an answer btw

So because you bought a poor mans rolex we gotta gas you up? What are you going to post next? Your “rare” speedmaster?
That stuff is literally a dime a dozen.

$15 strap on $2000+ watch

yay or nay?

>>14066787
He’s a fine you tuber, dude always seems genuinely happy in all his videos, and people that are happy all the time tend to piss off a lot of people.
Would rather watch tgv all day than 3/4 the other YouTube watch channels.

>>14066821
Yay.
I mean just because something is cheap doesn’t mean it’s low quality.
I mean how expensive should a nylon strap be?
If you are still wary, I have a limited edition bond nato with genuine faux platinum hardware I’ll sell to you for 500$ if it helps you out.

>>14066658
Great! Enjoy your watch. If you didn't know already, Patek used Valjoux 23 ebauches.

>>14066658
I hope you never have to get that watch serviced.

>>14055377

Yeah no. They probably plundered jewelry stores for them. The president bracelet is also on a datejust, not a daydate.

>>14054919

That can't be yours, I refuse to believe anyone browsing 4chins can afford or appreciate that.

>>14061664

People laughed when I said that was a good investment when it came out.

>>14062173

If that was real he makes good money. The ice blue only comes in platinum.

>>14062983

It's great value and with that comes faggot cope against luxury brands.

>>14063907

What year is it from? Looks a bit off?

>>14064736

Shit, that does look good. Could even live with the logo on this one.

>>14064986

Noice.

No. His following is like a cult and their hugbox mentality is toxic.

>>14066839
Why? Not him, Valjoux 23 are *fairly* common.

>>14066843
No way it would be cheap, just thinking about the 5 year service costs makes me sweat lol.

>>14066299
That’s a clean dial. Hope you find one.

I've only seen "TGV" from memes and I've never watched any of his videos but he seems like an utter twat. I get the impression of a grown up version of le swag is for boys, class is for men from him, especially with his cringe-inducing "gentry club". He looks quite pretentious and he is basically a man-child from what I've seen so far. Also, I can't tolerate Archie the fat fuck either.

>>14066848
Well, that's all chronographs.

>>14066842
You need to get on WatchAdvisor too. Herr Linz is a great guy, Marc has an acceptable kind of awkwardness to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfOmWExlAvc

Fuck, I just realized I posted the wrong pic. You're right that it's a 14270

What caused the move to /fa/? I missed it apparently

Junghans Max Bill Handaufzug/Hand-wound. 500-600$ new. The automatic costs more but a manual-wind does the job and there’s the novelty of winding your own watch.

>>14066996

>>14066985
That reply post was burried, but you still took the time to keep checking on your post from days ago to see if anyone is gushing over your tutor.
Its a nice watch, but all I see everyday is tudor/Rolex/omega.
Your acting like you have a patek phillipe with 20 tourbillions in it that god himself made.
Calm down.

>>14067017
I literally come here for a few minutes a day and you're attempting to make that sound weird for some reason.

Vintage Tudor/Rolex/Omega is quite different than modern but you can keep minimizing my watch if it makes you feel better. I posted it for the knowledgable people to enjoy.

>>14067051
Ok sports fan.

Where is this picture from and what's the meme about it. I've seen it been posted many times but I never really got the joke.

I would say nay. Anything priced at 15 dollars will be low quality.

>>14065286
fucking this

>>14064736
Yeah it's a shame they didn't come up with something better. Felt like giving CW a shot anyways so I bought this c60 trident during the January sale, feels real sturdy n nice. No regrets so far

>>14066351
Seiko and Casio, to name a few. And let's not forget about all the "microbrands" straight out of Chinese sweatshops.

>>14067433
>Seiko and Casio
What exactly is wrong with those watches? Are you a snob purist who wants to talk about his $k watches all the time?

>>14067525
They make good watches for cheap so swisscucks get triggered for spending so much money on their swisshit.

>>14067017

Not him, but that is an extremely nice watch. Might even be the nicest watch I've ever seen on here. Sure, techbro has a nice and expensive collection, but this is truly something special.

>>14066985
