other than a diver, chrono, tool/sport, dress watch, i don't think one needs anything else.

I wanted to buy an omega until i saw that George Clooney is being paid by omega. Omega has shit taste. But I love one of their watches. Tough decision

GAVE MY SON A PATEK PHILIPPE PHUCKAS. PAAAATEK PHILIPPE. A PATEK.

ARCHIBALD CHESTERFIELD THE THIRD

>>14126457
This vintage Patek is so beautiful, not a grail per se but I want it in my collection.

>>14126457
the question is… what the hell is he compensating in this manner for?

>>14126457
Is he autistic? I'd never consider uploading a cringey video of me handing down a watch do my disinterested, awkward son like that.

>>14126438
Marie Kondo is a Japanese woman who wrote two books on cleaning your house and a big part of it is throwing away whatever you aren't regularly using

>>14126466
>>14126471
It’s so fucking sad. He’s got problems

>>14126473
It's a little strange that she's so into throwing stuff away when the japanese believe that inanimate objects can have souls.

>>14126457
what's this

>>14126479
his son doesn't even look half asian

>>14126457
>>14126479
>half white half gook son
inb4 he trades his father's Patek for an AR-15 and a ton of explosives

>>14126479
He did a video in which he advised someone not to buy his teenage kid a Rolex, since he wouldn't appreciate it.
And then he does this.

I think I gleaned from the comments that he already took back the watch and sold it. Might not be true.

when did you last used a chrono function and how often you use it in real life?

>>14126556
I use it when I'm cooking if I have it on.

>>14126450
Omega has a whole bunch of celebs it pays. Look into it and you're bound to find at least one you like.

>>14126565
are there modern mechanical alarm watches?

>>14126400
You have posted more pics of that watch than Hamilton ever have
The pictures are nice. Is the watch a hobby? Spouse?

>>14126512
I cry that you dropped like 300 - 400 dollars per presage. That coupled with all the rest probably equates to at least two grand. You could have gotten a really nice watch for that.

>>14126582
This thread needs a Hamilton fag v2. Someone with an actually nice watch that he spams equal to this guy who reposts the same five photos every thread trying to achieve lord only knows what.

>>14126583
>You could have gotten a really nice watch for that.
he got a few really nice watches for that...

>>14126473
OP was saying that>>14126435
was overreacting to a dirty watch

>>14126588
I'm still here, sorry I haven't had much time to post my TI watch.

>>14126489

Thai's are barely Asian. At most that kid 25% Asian. Rest is Spanish conquistador and ex British convict.

>>14126450
I owned this watch once, until it was stolen by a maid that promptly fled into the woodwork.
I don't like omega, not when I owned that watch, and certainly not now.
However I still maintain that it's the nicest seamaster design of all, not counting the vintage model upon which this one takes inspiration.

No fancy meme movements but a dependable ETA.
Dark dial, white indices for great visibility, day or night.
A date window that actually matches the dial colour.
Sword hands.
Comfortable bracelet.
Etc.

The 2254.50 is a good, dependable model that was overshadowed by the blue wave dial model worn by Brosnan as Bond.
I maintain that it's the more attractive piece.
Is it "worth it", no. But it's not particularly expensive in the grand scheme of things.
But if you like it, and don't pay too much for a used one, then you won't complain.

The only other omega, not including vintage stuff from the 50's, that has ever tempted me is the iteration of the Railmaster about a decade ago.
Didn't have the money for one at the time, and I can't find that model anywhere used.
The new one uses the fancy prancy meme movements that I don't care to deal with, and the dial design is shit in comparison.

>>14126625
Thanks for sharing your experience with this watch. I just hate the skeleton hands on the seamasters, and much prefer the legibility and overall design of this older model.

I've also read that it's quite thin for a diver, which is a big plus for me. I like practical, comfortable and good looking watches. I'm pretty sure that in the end I'll end buying either the 2254.50 or the 2264.50, since I actually like quartz as well.

>>14126450
Not a fan of these hands. When a cariacature of a watch is drawn for a cartoon these are the hands they draw.

hello /wt/
post your fav swiss B/C class brand vintage model

>>14126649
The hands are actually one of my favorite things about that watch, and the main reason why I prefer it over other seamasters like pic related. Those broad sword hands give very good legibility

>>14126482
>japanese believe that inanimate objects can have souls
Next you'll tell me Singaporeans live on trees

>>14126529
What’s a "weeb", senpai?

>>14126698
obviously not every jap believes it but in the national religion, shinto, things like rocks, mountains, cars, rivers, swords and so on can have souls.

She doesn't just "throw them away", more like retiring them or giving them eternal rest, if their continued existence is not serving you meaningfully/spark joy (ie. you are keeping them prisoner in your house more or less). She was previously a Shinto priestess.

>>14126482
>She said she experienced a breakthrough in organising one day, "I was obsessed with what I could throw away. One day, I had a kind of nervous breakdown and fainted. I was unconscious for two hours. When I came to, I heard a mysterious voice, like some god of tidying telling me to look at my things more closely. And I realised my mistake: I was only looking for things to throw out. What I should be doing is finding the things I want to keep. Identifying the things that make you happy: that is the work of tidying."

>>14126763
That's pretty weird. God of tidying huh. I hope she doesn't start hitting people with a wrench when there's no tidying to do.

>>14126730
I don't like the big day and I don't know anyone who does

Does /wt/ know anything about Prim? To me they look a bit overpriced, but I like the idea of having watches from different countries and I'm half Czech so I kinda wanna get it.

>>14126814
>miniature replica of office wall clock: the watch

>>14126811
stop hanging out around idiots

>>14126811
shame

How nice is this??

>>14126814
I am living in Prague. Basically no one on czech watch forums cares about current prim and the modern zombie-walking is viewed as obscurity at most. I never saw anyone wearing a contemporary Prim watch. On the other hand, vintage ones like "traktor" pattern are still esteemed and considered as icon of proudly independent national manufacture of yesteryears. And $110 is not that much if you have czech heritage https://www.antik-hovorka.cz/obchod/prim-traktor-52-12241.html

>>14126872
Is that a shoop or are those really aftermarket hands?

>>14126872
Nice watch.
>>14126877
That’s their 62 mas homage. Same hands as the original one that came out in the 60’s.

>>14126877

>>14126883
Incorrect.
These are Aftermarket hands on a SPB051. Tempted to do the same myself but not sure I want a 42.6mm watch.

>>14126883
>That’s their 62 mas homage.
The 62 mas homage is the SLA017.
This is the cheap version of that (SPB051, note the Prospex X) but with SLA017 hands.

>>14126891
What

>>14126891
>>14126892
Oh shit my fault, took a quick look and saw the hands and jumped the gun. My apologies.
You guys are correct.

>>14126902
It's understandable since those dress watch hands are totally out of place on a diver.

>>14126875
Is there any other contemporary Czech brand?

>>14126872
>>14126897
I’d rather go with a Halios Seaforth.

>>14126911
The SLA017 is pretty much my grail atm. Apparently annoyingly thick though.

>>14126944

>>14126911
The state of you. The hands are lumed and we’re on the 1962 diver that Seiko made which pioneered diver watches.

>>14126945
What? You're not the guy who bought one? That's two crazy fools on here, they aren't cheap.

>>14126949
>pioneered diver watches.
Yeah I can see that those hands were really popular on divers wow

>>14126945
I really dislike square lug centres. Looks really really lazy to me.

>>14126951
No. Hence why it’s my grail...

Are Seaforths worth this much?

>>14126962
Halios has achieved success because of their nice design and quality. It does fetch a little bit of a premium on the second hand market compared to other micro brands.

>>14126975
>>14126960
Nice 62MAS / SLA017 homage.

>>14126975

>>14126980
Not really. They have it available in various bezel/dial configurations.

>>14126872

8L Seiko movement which is all kinds of interesting. It's a Grand Seiko grade movement. Decorated and everything, but not as tightly regulated as the 9S.

It's produced by the same studio that puts the Grand Seikos together.

Also the dimensions are perfect for a river. That lume is also the second brightest application that Seiko puts on watches , 2nd only to the landmaster

>>14126998

Meant to respond to >>14126897

>>14127007
I don't have a new one handy

>>14127008
Never even heard of those reference numbers until now lmao

>>14127015
Halios sure have, apparently.

>>14127016
Whether or not they have, it’s not a homage. And the Seaforths look way better than the Seiko version.

>>14127007
You are like little baby

Fakefags are truly the worst

>>14127123
Shenzhen’s finest. Also, post movement shot.

>>14127108
what's that a tool watch? kek

>>14127130
Hard to get a good shot without taking off the bracelet.

>>14127148
Nice. Congrats on the purchase. Is it new? If so, you got the few remaining 15400s as they’re discontinued now.

>>14127148
Have to hand it to them, the fake makers are really getting good nowadays.

>>14127159
It's new but via an AD who obvious bought it to flip it for a profit. I was okay with paying the premium.

aaaand we're live, guys!
https://youtu.be/Huhb1dRE010

>>14127173
nice. RO look way better than nautilus

>>14127177
I agree the blue dial RO's are better than the 5711A's. The 5711R on the otherhand is amazing and undervalued IMHO.

>>14127185
I disagree. The RO is sharp, fit and purposeful. All nautlis are second rate by comparison imo. wew look at me I was scrawled on a napkin by the royal oak guy I'm good toooo

>>14127197
It's possible to like both.

>>14127085
now this is a neat piece of swissshit - patina thats not disgusting, but instead a plus, the whole seconds hand, especially the back of it, the flourish above "antimagnetic"
a very tasteful little shitter indeed. Post moar

>>14127212
what do people find appealing about these post-modern abominations? unironically would be happier to wear >>14127085

>>14127212
It's possible.
But I don't. The RO just has better genetics plain and simple. It looks amazing the nautilus doesn't look good, people just think it must look good because they're supposed to. Those flabby love handles hanging off the sides, that meandering, ambiguous bezel that won't commit to anything. no thanks.

>>14127231
You just the appreciate the positives in different types and designed watches. I have vintage too you may like better.

FYI there's a Citizen PMT56-2714 on ebay for sale right now. I would get it if I didn't have a ton of shitters already.

It's been called arguably the best tool watch of all time.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/FS-Citizen-TOUGH-PROMASTER-Ray-Mears-perpetual-PMT56-2714-titanium-Duratect-40mm-/132955985569

>>14127213
I don't have many more pics, the case is in pretty bad shape with dents & scratches and most of the gold plating has worn off.
On the plus side it runs nice and everything other than the case looks good, the outer edge of the dial has a texture that reminds me of fish scales.

>>14127247
These are pretty good anon. Which one was the least expensive?

>>14127269
The IWC Cal 825. Actually left to right is in increasing price.

>>14126618
I have a scuba dude with the same case. I love those watches, they wear really well.

>>14127262
it looks like shit and titanium is a meme material. basically aluminum on steroids.

Genuinely don't understand why you'd want any other watch.

>>14127262
That's neat but I could have 2 or 3 modern promasters new for that price. I've bought a used citizen in good condition before and the lume paint was coming off somehow.

>>14127304
I can fully appreaciate the fact that if I was a purely rational machine, this would be the only watch I'd own. Humans are flawed though and have other needs besides raw function.

>>14127247
>polerouter featured on shithole that is /wt/
fucking nice!
pic related is my grail watch. I got>>14126653 because it reminded me of polerouter's bullseye. Festina did once basically a 1:1 clone of polerouter, but they are hard to come by in good condition
>>14127264
>>14127085
do not know why, but the strap on the first photo looks way more fitting with the watch and makes it forgiving and warm considering the wear on case.
fuck rolex, fuck iwc: they are pale comparison to your polerouter and connie.
My own connies (his and hers) in next post

>>14127304

>>14127312
I'm speaking from an aesthetic standpoint as well, though. I realize that it's subjective, but the beauty:cost ratio is unbelievable.

Here you go, watchfrens.

>>14127313
The Polerouter is a hell of a watch. I have to admit I didn't know anything about it when I bought it, I just liked how it looked. I did good ...

I also didn't plan to buy lots of vintage watches in gold but finding steel ones in as good as condition as those is very very hard as older steel alloyt were easier to scratch or damage.

Thoughts on this watch?

>>14127313
Yeah, I had the Accurist on the leather strap first and it's now on the perlon.

Is the ETA 2894 the peak of mass produced movements?

>>14127247
>>14127288

I got the lady versions few weeks ago from ebay for $159 and was the only bidder, running good, but will send to watchmaster as they charge only around €35 for complete service in here my country. I do not even have any gf now, but at least now I am prepared for the right one. Wish me luck bois

>>14127304
I don't need my watch to constantly remind me that it's a chronograph or that it's water resistant

>>14127337

>>14127360
I hate to tell you anon but that lady constellation looks like a rolex. Vintage Longines are underrated.

>>14127383
stop stuttering

Thinking of selling my Seamaster and getting a more rugged looking watch.
I’ve been watching True Detective series 1 and I want a watch like Rust Cohle. An 80s diver with a rubber strap which looks rugged. Any suggestions?

>>14127377
Having letters indicating the function of each button is nice tho. But if you're going to get rid of all text, then the size of the case should be smaller imo.

>>14127337
Still no thoughts on this watch. (other than the comments on the numerals) Just watched a review, he said he thought it was good but it made a bad sound when hand wound. I think it looks very similar to this watch in pic related.

>>14127380
That's a 3 you dumbass.

Why the fuck didn't Seiko lume the triangle at 12 o'clock on the snk809?

>>14127495
This looks like one of the best examples going. Wonder what it will go for.
Did the quality decline when Tag came along or is it just the logo that people hate on?

>>14127374
Found it, it's a longines spirit, ref L2.700.4.23.4

>>14127506
>Did the quality decline when Tag came along or is it just the logo that people hate on?
The former.

>>14127060

My bunneh died back in 2015. I still dream about him. Wear them in good health.

>>14126653
I don't know why I don't have a more recent pic of this, but I'm never going to sell my Helbros Invincible. It has a pretty good AS 1914 movement in it. However the company itself was American I believe. I also have another Helbros with a West-German electronic PUW movement.

Now unfortunately the name has been completely desecrated, along with Croton: https://www.crotonwatch.com/collections/helbros

>>14127560
How old was he?

>>14127560
Did you cook him afterwards? I would if I found the carcass to be still warm in the cage.

>>14127506
The quality did decline but those are early enough that it's probably just a different logo on the dial.

Super sexy

Does anyone have that wristshot of amphibia outside baselworld entrance?

>>14127692
That is probably the worst bracelet I’ve ever seen in any watch ever.

the fuck a video said snk809 was under $65, I bought mine for $87 (including shipping)

>>14127706

A lot of the watches in the 1990s looked like that. It was a dark time for horology.

>>14127710
Absolutely, is this the greatest watch of the 90s?

>>14127709

The price fluctuates quite a bit. But I don't think it's been $65 in years.

>>14127679
The 007 would fit you well. My wrist is 6.5" and bought the 009, which is the same as 007 but different color (pepsi), and am very glad that I didn't buy the 013. I'm actually surprised by how small the 007/009 wears, I think it's because of the short lug to lug distance and the crown at 4. It's a small watch.

>>14126556
Once I timed how long it took to walk from one side of campus to the other to see if I'd be able to register for a certain class there.

I also timed how long to cook a steak before flipping it. Otherwise, never. It's just for aesthetics

>>14127500
Because it's a $70 watch. It's just a bare bones automatic. Just be happy it runs for the price.

>>14127789
I bet luming the triangle would cost a lot

>>14126373

What's the ref of that one? Movement?

>that 3, 6 and 9
Did nobody in the design process look at it and think "let's not bother with the numerals"? Without them the watch would look fantastic.

>>14127679
You might be ok with the 007 anyway. Find the lug to lug size and see how that looks with a ruler on the flat part of your wrist.

The subdials don't really get in the way to be honest. What does though is sometimes the polished hands looking dark and blending into the dial.

god I hope you're licking that

gonna buy this chinese GO and you cant stop me

>>14128207
The europeans never copy/ape other designs, right?

>>14128196
hank hill ass

>>14128217
You mean the European designs that were created in Europe. No one copies Japanese design.

>>14128235
Cool goalpost moving. At least you admit the europeans copy shit too.

>>14128233

>>14128240
All brands copy but they all copy Euro designs.

>>14128217
Wow, black bezels! Europeans btfo! Look at those circular cases too! Fuck. No fucking originality.

>>14128147
That’s a really nice watch.
How easy is the dial to read in low light situations due to the lack of Lume?

>>14128271

The Grand Seiko design philosophy calls for the hands and markers of the watch to be reflective from even the most extreme angles.

So out of all the watches out there, Grand Seikos probably perform the best out of watches that do not have artificial illumination.

>>14128339
Muh philosophy

>>14126450
Don't pay attention to the 'ambassadors' of any watch company. Just buy what sings to you. Have you tried on this Seamaster yet? It's awesome.

I've thought for a long time to pick one up myself. It's essentially the same watch internally as my current daily wear, but in my view the black sword hand variant is far more applicable to legibility as a dive watch. And yes, it is quite thin, so it fits under cuffs easily.

On a different note...does anyone here collect pocket watches? I'm looking seriously into this now, but I don't know if anyone here cares about it or not.

>>14128357
Boring as fuck.

>>14128067
The explorer 2 is so underrated. It's one of Rolex's best looking watches

Check out castle watch, only $40 pretty sleek style

Should be getting my snk809 next week, maybe on Monday. What can I expect?

>>14128213
What's GO? Really nice looking watch. How much does it cost?

>>14128537
Glashutte Original.

It goes for $9700 retail ($17k in rose gold), the chinkshit copy in that pic goes for $340

looking to get a new dress watch to go along with my orient automatic, what are some good cheap minimal dress watches that aren't garbage meme brands?

Most people are not shinto they're pretty secular or even atheist. They are spiritual but a lot of it is tradition and just a thing to make you feel at peace or something that has been done a few times a year by family so people continue to do it. Deist is prob the closest thing.

Have a ceramic one now, but I keep craving one like that.

Looking to possibly get a Frederique Constant Automatic Moonphase Heartbeat as my first "real" watch.
Anyone have any opinions on that watch? Or the brand itself?

saw a FC in a video today, had a nice design

yah it's good but open heart is reallllly bad

>>14128645
thx, Mork!

>>14128662
That one is nice.

I just started looking into getting a watch and I'm obsessed with getting one that has a moonphase complication. Can't really explain why.

>>14128665
Mork?

>>14128670
https://youtu.be/K_baNIhnaKE

>>14128664
They have a version without the open heart -- do you think that would be better?
Why do you say it's bad? Aesthetics? Tacky?

Redpill me on watch strap tool. Should I splurge on a bergeon or just get a chink one?

>>14128645
After some research I don't think I want to buy it. Apparently it has lume on the hands but not on the indexes, retarded, how are you supposed to tell time then?

Not being a smartass; genuinely want to know.

nice reddit meme there

>>14128763
I merely equated the $1,200 price tag with a sense of legitimacy -- a foolish mistake on my part.

Would you suggest another moonphase with Roman numerals?

>>14127626
Favinov on ebay sells dials and hands resumed with superluminova, they're quite a bit of an improvement on the stock lume

Why the fuck would you lume the hands but not the indexes?

>>14128716
bergeon it's so much better

>>14128679
tacky

>>14128731
the name comes from the grandparents of the Dutch couple who founded it in Geneva, one of which had a dial manufacturer started in 1908. anyways their in house movement is really nice for the price

>>14126434

No you, Bond LARPing cunt.

>>14128777
It's hard to find a cheap moon phase that isn't shit. JLC and Breguet come to mind when the moon phase complication is brought up.

>>14128749
stop posting this ugly beast please

lel they don't scam you with a quartz movement and give you an auto too

OUCH

question

what makes a good metal bracelet? and what makes a cheap one bad?

>>14129226
When something is mechanically cheaper made it's usually not evident in photos, but is clearly evident when you handle it.

>>14129224
Are they similarly priced?

Are these displays repairable by replacing the polarized filter or any other layer?

>>14129271
The Rolex is about $1k more.

>>14129224
So a high end Seiko is on par with the lowest offering from Rolex? kek

>>14128725
Provide the reddit link then. Oh wait, you can't, coz you're a lying cunt.

>>14129319
Unbelievable. People are such retards when it comes to status. The current Datejusts don’t even look good.

Patrician, if and only if you are a stereotypical czech tourist in High Tatras, as heaps of these are notorious to fuck up themselves in slovak mountains every single holiday season. An avalanche or earthslide swallows you, it is easier for mountain rescue to spot your limp hand sticking out from the rubble.

How much would it cost to get a custom designed LCD panel and time module made? I find all LCD displayed very cluttered and I’d love to be able to design my own.
Maybe I’d be better off designing a face for a smart watch...
Pic related is an example of a non cluttered display and it looks great.

>>14129224
rolex are incredibly underwhelming in real life except maybe for the new daytonas. they really are resting on their normie popularity cache

lmao are you the resident Seiko triggered faggot? Even Rolex copied their designs from JLC at some point

>>14127247
Did you do any polishing? Usually old watches are dull and scratched up

>>14129430
that is the job of your watchmaster on a fulk service visit.

>>14126457
always makes me laugh
keep it up

>>14129413
How will Rolex cope with a few autists on /wt/ not liking them? Their sales must be collapsing after those opinions.

>>14129516
what

>>14129091
I barely want to spend $1,200 on the FC moonphase -- I'm prepared to because the watch hits all my criteria.
But the JLC and Breguet don't look nicer than the FC -- and are magnitudes more expensive. Not worth it, in my opinion.

My latest acquisition. I always wanted a moonphase watch, this vintage seiko fit the bill perfectly while being reasonably cheap.

>>14129343
That particular Grand Seiko even retains its value.

>>14129471
Nobody's trying to change the public opinion's mind.

>>14129532
JLC is certainly worth the price but I understand your perspective and we want what we want. People in this thread have a low opinion of FC but you could honestly do a lot worse. As others have said I'd avoid the open heart. It's a cool novelty for about a week, but the inner workings are really not worth showing off in that manner. I'd say go for it if the moon phase is really the main criteria. If you're just looking for a good watch I'd save up a little more money and buy a plain Jane Nomos.

>>14130046
With regards to cheaper variants: a good cheap swiss automatic moonphase is the glycine combat moonphase. It's 40mm and the blue dial variant is just stunning, I'd take it over the FC.

>>14126512
save up for a Grand Seiko!!!

who tf cares about finishing nobody thinks your rich wearing a grand seiko
