Been really getting into one of these older Breitlings before everything starting becoming enormous. They're 37mm

Thoughts? You can find them for <$2k

Thanks mang
What are some watches you like?

>>14323548
No gf, no clicks

If you were gonna buy a Seamaster, which would you get and why?

>>14323556
Death
Because they fucking ugly

>>14323562
What would be your alternative to a steel diver in similar dimensions?

>>14323565
Orient mako II

>>14323547
I'm not even part of these threads, that other cunt pissed me off with his /wt/. I wear cheap casios, I don't belong here.

>>14323575
Well thanks anyway. Stick around and maybe you'll become a watch person.

>>14323571
Fuck off with that shit

>>14323582
Enjoy your overpriced semenmaster

>>14323588
I just don't buy anything made in Japan out of principle

>>14323593
What principle? Idiocy?
You don’t want to look bad in a pretentious and superficial jewelry thread?

>>14323556
planet ocean deep black

>>14323581
I have my tastes, they're not for here. I'm gaudy and loud. When I finish school I'm getting a millgauss, I love that stupid second hand.

>>14323556
Out of those two, the right. The vintage aesthetics are pretty nice. If I'm not mistaken the 8400 has a quick hour hand adjustment.

>>14323608
I actually think I like the Planet Ocean more, but the all black isn't for me. Not my taste, personally.

>>14323609
Awesome choice, I have a soft spot for the Mily's green dial.

Stay based and redpilled, my friend

>>14323606
They're associated way too much with cheap quartz shit, inaccurate movements, weebs and basedboys.
In my industry I need to keep up appearances, I can't wear Nip shitters.

>>14323616
Fair enough

>>14323556
Seamaster professional (left), in person it just fucking pops, 300 is nice and all but in 10 years when this vintage remake meme is over, it will look dated

The poorfags choice

Can someone tell me if the purple datejust is actually terrible looking or if I was being memed in the last thread?

Was really considering it for graduation

>>14323616
I always wanted a GS but never could pull the trigger. Rolex & Omega normal win, thank you for soming up my feeling over the last few years.

>>14323657
Yes

>>14323657
I think it looks great. I love dials that are unconventional. It makes you stand out in a sea of boring people with only white or black dials, but not enough to make you look tacky.

My dream watch is a Breitling with yellow subdials.

>>14323640
Retro doesn't get old.

>>14323660
A GS would be interesting, but I feel like I'd always have to explain it to my peers wearing Rolex and stuff. Like, tell them it's actually a really nice watch and definitely not the same shit Reddit wears.
No grown adult will take you seriously in an industry like law, finance, business, etc. wearing a Seiko or whatever other Japanese brand.

>>14323640
I don't see it looking dated ever. If anything, that kind a simple, clean design will only get more popular as people get tired of retarded oversized meme watches and want a more classic, vintage look

>>14323669
thoughts on this

>>14323690
I stand by what I said, but I just can't get into this one. And I love Glashutte Original personally.
It just looks like a dried up orange peel. It looks bad underneath the silver hands and indices. Even those arabic numbers look tacky. What the fuck is that font? This is honestly one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen.

Rate my grails, pls.

>>14323657
Do not get a purple OP ffs, white or black that's it! All the rest are shit, you'll understand if you ever sell it, no one will want it, steel sports only matter! I don't sell my watches but it's nice to know you can, have a kid, total your car? Got fired? P.s work for yourself, I dont care if you have to sell drugs.

>>14323702
I can smell this picture.
This is one of the worst collections I've ever seen

>>14323702
>all those fucking presages

>>14323696
Even an actual wrist shot?

>>14323711
Sorry mate, it's just not a good watch.
What size is that dial? It looks enormous, making it look worse still

Anyone know of a good travel time for under $7k?

Taking a new job soon that involves fairly frequent travel but not trying to go all out on something that I'll be too nervous to ever wear.

>>14323711
Is this ein new meemee?
I’ve seen this posted before.

>>14323721
The date window variant is only 42 mm, this person must be a wristlet.

Guess I'll just get a speedy then

>>14323725
Probably because I've been posting it before. Not this exact image but the watch itself. No more of it though

>>14323727
A Speedy looks infinitely better than that shitter

>>14323724
A GMT Master II

>>14323676
Try telling a non watch person it's a nice Seiko, without saying its 6k and not looking like a dick. No Japanese brand will cut it, you're right, when I do business with the Japanese they were Omega

>>14323732
A lot of things look better than a speedy but then you sperg about muh mouvement when you’re confronted about it.

Sounds awful. I wear an Explorer to work one day and a Tuna the next and nobody bats an eye either way. The only watch I ever get complimented on is my throwaway digital Casio.

It's just not a good looking watch. I know you like it, but everyone else that sees it will think it's bad. It looks like a toy.

>>14323749
Wow, it's almost like the same couple posters are having back and forth conversations with each other. Imagine that.
Dumb cunt.

>>14323674
The original is retro, new one is a homage. How many real iconic watches were homages...... 0

>>14323680
Yea it already happened but fake aged lume, will not look good. It's a nice watch but your better off with a sub at that price

>>14323702
Jesus mix it up a bit, your 3 seiko away from unlocking an achievement

>>14323711
I'm sorry you didn't get the job

>>14323331
A grape/purple Submariner would look pretty sweet imo.

>>14323775
Yet you can read the time on the sub, also steel sports, would sell 4k over retail

>>14323795
The more I see it, the less I like it.
I think the purple dial is gonna be a no from me, dawg

Where did you get it? I've been thinking of picking up an old vintage watch like that for cheap.

>>14323813
I love that invicta

>>14323815
ebay, from a ukrainian seller called vitos1333000
Gonna take like a month to receive it though.

To ignorant people who don't know anything about watches perhaps. Who cares what they think?

Most people

If nice watches means you and your boss have something in common that you can shoot the shit over, then it matters.

Just a reminder:

i love 90s watches. ive got a shitty tag that i really enjoy wearing and was super cheap. ive been looking at the colt gmt from breitling

I wish I was still young enough to wear a Seiko, I love them so much but I'm 32 and it just looks pathetic.

>>14322905
My accountant buddy has one, the external finishing on that thing is horrendous.
The case is just a vague watch-shaped blob they held against a buffing wheel too long from all sides.
My green Alpinist has a far more intricate and nicer finish.

>>14324026
A lot. As a watch-dealer I have them coming and going frequently. This is a franken made from a nice silver dial penis quartz with dead movement and a really beat up Silverwave. Really like the outcome. But most likely gonna put the original dial back and sell it since I have 2 other penis quartz coming and the Silverwave dial should fit in those too. Or maybe just going to sell this as is since it's such a nice combo.

Absolutely. Memes aside, I would love the Bateman watch. It's probably top of my list

I can all but guarantee I have more sex in a week than you've had in your life.
Marriage has its perks

>>14324470
Give it a few years, my cunt wife doesn't like sex anymore! All I have is watches now, I just buy them to piss her off and so she can't spend my money. Maybe I'll buy a GMT, kill me.

>>14324630
My wife would have sex with 5 times a day, every day if she could. It's actually annoying as fuck when I've got something going on and she keeps trying to have sex.
I was doing some studying for school and she just decides to dress up in heels, stockings and lingerie to put me in the mood. I basically told her to fuck off because I was doing something important and we just had sex yesterday. She got all butthurt about how I don't appreciate her or some shit.

Incels will never understand that sex is actually not a big deal at all and sometimes it's even a big inconvenience.

whats a good poorfag watch that still looks good in a everyday environment

im a uni student and will work soon in a law/office environment so i need something casual but that works fine with suits

oh and im a poorfag.

>>14324664
>things that never happened.

>>14324664

agree that it can be inconvenient
but only if youre either a fag, she takes too much time to cum, or you prefer bitches on the side/masturbation ie dont like your wife

>>14324684
Why would I lie about that? What do I gain from pretending to be married in a watch thread on a Japanese anime image board?
When you've been married for a while sex becomes super routine and even boring sometimes.
Like I said, I know you're an incel, so you have no idea how it is. Hopefully one day you will.

>>14324679
What's your price range? Maximum you're willing to spend?

>>14324679
If super ultimate poorfag you can get a simple commie watch in working decent condition off egay for like 30 bucks.

>>14324717

aight i made a ebay account. any watches i should look for?

>>14324715
>>14324715

max would be $70
though i want something in the $50-70 price range

>>14324679
Are you literally retarded? As an intern in a law office, you'll be laughed at with anything lower than a Datejust. Don't wear a "watch" if you can't afford a watch.

>>14324725
This.
Law is all about appearances. Wear some shit like a Seiko or some poorfag brand and you'll be judged.

>>14324721
Raketa, luch, poljot. If you want reliability find a raketa with 2609HA movement.
Make sure you buy from a seller with good ratings
Don't expect much from them, they're cheap commie watches, I like buying them just because they're interesting and cheap to collect, not because they're incredible watches.

GENTLEMEN. Wristwatches are, in my OPINION, one of the few pieces of jewelry a man can wear. They add some extra "oomph" to an outfit and send a subtle signal that you're punctual and responsible. HOWEVER, there are TONS of overpriced watches out there, especially if you start looking at more high-end brands. But as you know, Alpha's here to find YOU the best deals on SLEEK SEXY STYLISH products...

So feast your eyes on this little number from today's video sponsor: MVMT. Look at this - a HIGH-GRADE Japanese quartz chronograph with THIRTY METERS of water resistance and interchangeable straps. And here's the kicker: it only costs 150 bucks, so you're getting a premium timepiece without breaking the bank.
WHOOOAAAATT? That's right guys, LESS THAN 200 dollars for a luxury watch that would typically run you 600 or more. This is thanks to MVMT's revolutionary distribution system which CUTS OUT THE MIDDLE MAN, allowing them to sell high-quality products without the markup. BOOM, now you've got a great watch AND can still afford a dinner date with that spicy senorita you've been eyeing for a while.
Guys, there's a link down in the description; it will take you to the OFFICIAL AlphaM collection curated by yours truly. And make sure you use the promo code "Alpha20" to get TWENTY PERCENT off your first purchase.

>>14324731
One other option is to buy a vintage Rolex and say that your grandpa gave it to you when you graduated highschool, then replace it with an appropriate modern watch.

i want to buy a watch to look more "serious".

What would you suggest to young adult male, i try to dress neat and kinda minimalistic by using uniqlo basics as a base.

Would prefer all year round style. Price is not too high.

Thank you

>>14324739

What's a good vintage Rolex?

>>14324751
me again. wanted to add: i do not watch to be "minimalistic", i want them to look nice and attractive. Just in case.

>>14323795
purple face-meh
roman numerals-too busy, make the dial too messy
Pass, overall.
the purple might look better on a formal watch. rose gold case, black croc strap, or something.

>>14324741
They care about both, zoomer high schooler
How you dress is a reflection of your work ethic and people notice that stuff.

I know the grown up world is confusing to you but you'll figure it out in a few years. Until then keep studying for that pre-algebra test you're stressing about and pay attention in socal studies.

sorry did not red 1rst post.
wrist size is 6.8
strap probably metal if that is okay. Not sure.
budget under ~250 bucks.

I need proper end links for this. Been talking to some local shops about having them made. The stock bracelet is shit.

Redpill me on grey market dealers.

I went to buy a Speedmaster yesterday but I left the AD in a fit of FURIOUS ANGER when I realised that Omega raised the price less than a week ago and now the AD couldn't offer me a SPEEDSHITTER at the price they could before.

Will I get a manufacturer warranty from a grey?

>>14324826
If the speedmaster was half the watch it's cracked up to be you wouldn't need a warranty.

>>14324826
I got mines new 6 months ago for £2700 come with warranty card, from a family jewellers. Still in Omega original shipping packaging. Feels good!

I'd say keep looking every day like I did and you will see a good price from a family jellewers, who have imported them from somewhere.

>>14323775
I am sure they will sell one in the future. The craze over the Hulk will make them go through the whole rainbow. It'll take 10 years for each new release because after all they are mountain jews, but they'll do it.

>>14323831
>>14323825
I fucking love these so much

>>14324863
JIM, WE MISSED YOU AT THE BARBECUE TODAY. IT WAS LOTS OF FUN EVEN THOUGH DEB BURNED SOME OF THE DOGS.

Most recent cop

Just copped this for less then half

I will never understand paying more than $400 for a watch.

>>14324992
Absolutely based. I've been getting more and more into Panerai for the past few weeks. I used to think they were the most retarded looking watches but now I think they look great. Funny how that happens.

What size is the dial? Looks huge. Also, post more pics my friend

>>14324956
My Sekonda was £14.

>>14323556
Buy left and this!

>>14325008
It's a 44mm. I love the look, the trademark crown guard.

>>14323556
Buy left and this.....

>>14325008

>>14324998
>$400
I disagree but I understand where you're coming from. You're not going to get a mechanical chronograph worth owning for $400. Having dabbled in watches for a few years I would put the figure at around 5k. I don't think that anything over 5k offers worthwhile improvement over something that could be had for less.

>>14325028
>>14325032
Looks great. Congrats anon. I know Panerai makes /wt/ autists seethe, so that's pretty based, too.

44mm isn't for me, so when I get one for myself it will definitely be smaller. Personal preference is all.

>>14325022
>>14325030

Mah bad

>>14325008
>I've been getting more and more into Panerai for the past few weeks.
Good man. Now that the overhyping of the brand is over and the hueg watch craze is done, Panerais are back to being a little more low-key.

They are simply but solidly made, very robust. If you can find one of the older Unitas-powered ones (inb4 cheap movement, blah blah blah) you are getting as close to a bulletproof watch as you can.

Just be careful about fakes because, being simple watches, they are also very, very easy to fake. Make sure you get one with all the boxes and all the papers. Make sure all the numbers match up.

If you're buying private sale, make sure the seller has a good reputation; however, it may be worth it to pay a little extra to buy from a second-hand dealer who can put a guarantee behind the authenticity of their product.

>>14325042
>44mm isn't for me, so when I get one for myself it will definitely be smaller. Personal preference is all.

Pams wear a lot smaller than you'd think. I'm a total wristlet (6 3/4") but a 44mm Luminor fits me just fine. While the cases are wide, the lug-to-lug is only about 50mm, which is about the same as a Tudor Black Bay (though the BB's bracelet makes it wear bigger than 50mm)

Is the formula 1 my only option?
I think I'm gonna get an apple watch because it's too frustrating getting something worse than a submariner

>>14325132
>I can't live with anything less than 10k or whatever the fuck a sub costs
I feel sorry for you.

>>14325257
I don't think that's what he's saying. If he wants a Submariner, that's what he wants. Buying a watch that's 90% of a Sub is always going to be 100% NOT a Sub and, thus, will always be a source of niggling resentment.

It is better to save up for a Sub than waste your money on something you don't actually want.

>>14325321
He's saying that if he can't have a sub he'd rather have nothing. Which is fucking said since there are countless watches worth owning that are cheaper than a sub.
If you have to save up for a sub you can't really afford it

>>14325326
>Which is fucking said since there are countless watches worth owning that are cheaper than a sub.
That's certainly true, but you can't argue that the heart wants what it wants.
And who knows, maybe over the course of saving up he might decide that he'd rather have an Explorer II or a Cartier Santos or whatever.

Still, though, it's a wise decision on the part of the young man that he does not waste his money on a shitter. I think we can all agree on that.

>>14325360
>And who knows, maybe over the course of saving up he might decide that he'd rather have an Explorer II or a Cartier Santos or whatever.
Yeah right. If he's so thoroughly brainwashed on wanting a sub so badly he's not going to change any time son.
>Still, though, it's a wise decision on the part of the young man that he does not waste his money on a shitter. I think we can all agree on that.
I can't agree on that at all.

>>14325375
t. bought a Seamaster, wishes he bought a Sub

>>14325383
I don't like the pre or post bond semenmasters. I wouldn't buy a sub unless I had so much money I deliberately wanted to waste it.

Thinking about the yema superman heritage, like the look, has C3 lume, 39mm, eta2824-2

Can anyone suggest something better around the 1000 euro mark? The only other I considered seriously is the 600 euro squale 42mm with a top grade 2824-2, but the lume is shitty and the look is dull. Oris 65 in 36mm would be great but they designed it trying to cater to the dress diver audience.

>>14325393
Go with the Oris 65 or Aquis, I'd just save up and get a Black bay 58. 0% finance it £50 a month bro

Was about to pick this you, thoughts? I will be going on a nato ofcourse.

>>14325404
>I'd just save up
Why would anyone save up for a fucking watch? I'm aksing you all, if you have to save up for a luxury item, can you really afford it? If you're in that situation there must be a dozen things you're better off spending your money on than a piece of jewry.

>>14325408

>>14325008
I had exactly the same feeling.
Now I love the look of Panerais.

>>14325411
I don't need to save up for anything, I choose to save & invest more than I spend each month, don't you? Watchers are a Luxury and I give myself so much play money each month (save for a watch or spend however).

But if your okay with pissing away every penny you make go right ahead, I'm in it for the long run.

>>14325427
>But if your okay with pissing away every penny you make go right ahead, I'm in it for the long run.
Wtf does this have to do with what I posted and it's you're btw.

>>14325432
Its call restraint. If you have to safe you can't afford it...... wrong. Some people choose to save first then buy, than buy and rebuild saving it's not that fucking hard to understand.

Maybe I just live money more than watches.

http://www.2040-cars.com/Lotus/Exige/2009-lotus-exige-s-260-sport-phantom-black-1of1-in-n-a-7k-miles-not-tracked-740790/

>>14325580
you can argue houses and cars are necessities of life. But a wristwatch? Come on there are so many other things you can save towards than a fucking watch.
>I have an E-type but I posted a crappy lotus to try and impress people
DOUBT

>>14325580
>You know anyone who never saved for a house?
Yeah. Me.
By the time my wife and I were ready for a family we had so much saved up in discretionary spending money that we could buy a house in cash.
The only thing that prevented us from doing so (and taking a mortgage instead) is that we make more in the market than we lose in interest.

Lots of people are good with money and have good careers. You don't read about them because they don't go online to complain about how boomers ruined the housing market or whatever.

>>14325595
>saved up

>>14325590
Wtf are you doing on /wt/ go to some other better board that is worth your time saving up for. You have houses, cars or whatever. If you dont and you just want a nice watch. You can do what they fk you want with you're money, drink 18 beers.

No photos on the phone, on HDD, couldn't be asses, I can get them if you really want to see, V12, yellow.

>>14325621
>v12
oh the crap one.
Who the fuck owns a lotus exige and an E-type but only has photos of the lotus?

>>14325621
My issue was with saying, you can't afford something if you have to save. It just isn't true. Oh >>14325595 you did not buy a house with money you just had that you didn't need. That was your investment money clearly. And you might make more that's going to pop soon, heads up! I'd rather not paid the interest, the market was a maybe.

>>14324804
What kind of bait is this?
These have usually end links. What happened to the original band? Just buy a band with endlinks.

>>14325629

Crap E-Type really?, whatever, knock it whatever way you want, V12 the best one to drive.

Now let me see this high viewed famous car?

>>14325662
>V12 the best one to drive.
No it fucking isn't the v12 is the one stupid assholes who don't know anything about cars buy kek.

>>14325630
>And you might make more that's going to pop soon,
Lmao if you think a market collapse is a bad thing. I mean, sure, it's a disaster for people who aren't liquid, and that sucks for them, but for everyone else, it's a permission slip to go on an investing binge with the guarantee that it will all work out.

I made over three quarters of a mil on the last economic crisis and I was small-time back then.

>>14325686
Whatever my man, nice Nissan. I'm just trying to make a point, I save for watches and I can buy any watch "I want" Rolex tier, I never really go above that honestly, I'm more a sport watch guy.

If someone can just about afford a nice watch, fuck it, along as it doesn't hurt anyone else (kids) fk the wife! I might feel different if they have more money in watches than saving tho.

>>14325707
Ok the lotus is semi decent but seriously buying a v12 E-type is like waving a "I have shit taste in cars" flag around you're probably american.

>>14325686

https://youtu.be/_A-VgDDqXBE

>>14325652
yeah my post was confusing. i have the original bracelet (picrel) it just feels really cheap so I put on a generic 20mm bracelet

im working with a local shop to build custom endlinks to put on a strapcode bracelet.

>>14325925
The original looks better than that shit you have on it now

>>14325923
Nobody gives a shit faggot.

>>14325925
Gen Rolex endlinks are sold online why do you need to have them made?

>>14325933
yeah i agree that it looks ugly, but I dont really care desu. way more comfortable which is what matters most to me.

putting modern bracelets on these watches makes them feel so much better.

>>14325951
ive got a bracelet coming in that looks promising (solid links and milled clasp). just looking at my options while I wait for that.

>>14325951
also, if I had them made I would make a couple to sell. im sure im not the only one that would want this.

I feel like if you pump out a bunch of strapcode compatible endlinks for some of these older rolexes you could make some good money.

Does anyone have recommendations for leather watch strap brands or whatever?

>>14326000
If you want some of the best then there's camille fournet. They're who JLC uses for their watches.

given the chance (and you'd be paying your own money for either) would you get a speedy or a basic reverso

Haven't visited /g/ in a few weeks because of exams. Why are all the watch threads here on /fa/ instead of /g/?

Faggot mods.

First time I ever bought myself a watch

>>14325925
>>14325951

not the guy with the polar explorer, but I ordered some gen 580 endlinks through my AD because i was tired of my rattly 501b's and also worried about them rubbing up against the serial number and such. Mind if I ask what your local shop is asking for those custom made endlinks?

That's the idea. The sub is like THE watch in my mind. All watches that are much cheaper feel cheap to me. I'm not talking about omegas tudors etc. but these are almost as expensive.

> Which is fucking said since there are countless watches worth owning that are cheaper than a sub.

Thank you. I'm finally getting to the point where I know what I want and what not to buy, after making quite a few mistakes.

>>14326525
>after making quite a few mistakes.
I still think they are decent watches.

>>14326536

Not these, other watches I bought through the years. Well, maybe the rectangular Doxa too, the case is not Stainless like I thought it was, but I can live with it.

>>14326554

>>14326525

Thank you but I don't think I'm gonna be able anytime soon, I'm gonna buy a nice car before I buy a rolex. Rolex really are for rich people unless you've got weird priorities.
That being said what do you people think about an apple watch? I think the golden one with a milanese band looks nice

>>14326563
>That being said what do you people think about an apple watch?
An overrated accessory.
Think of it as a handy reminder to use your Apple iPhone or Apple iPad that you can wear on your wrist. Apple.

>>14326566
I fully agree on that but for me a watch is a fashion accessoire in the first place so I was more talking about the aesthetical aspect

>>14326571
Oh, in terms of looks?

It will match perfectly with your Uggs, yoga pants, flannel shirt, puffy North Face vest while you're standing in line at Starbucks. Can't go wrong.

>>14326583
Yeah but would it also match my white air max 97, my light blue jeans and my black stone island hoodie?

>>14325925
Aaa, ok now it's all clear. Well, like others said, the original looks better than the one you have now, but i have no idea of any rolex bracelet so maybe it really feels cheap in comparison to the aftermarket one.
The rattling of the folded end links is a big annoyance tho. I can understand why you would want toreplace them with solid ones. A lot of rolex owners want solid ones.
Folded end links tend to get out of shape and leave nasty gaps.

>>14325393
What's the purpose of the little window on the bezel?

>>14327109
It lets everyone who see's the watch know you're a autistic retard with no taste in watches.

>>14327137
Nice function. I wish the submariner had one of those as well.

>fashion watches are b-

i'm a poorfag with little knowledge about watches, i've read good things about Casio and Orient, but only about specific models, do these belong to the garbage?

>>14327230
>do casio and orient belong in the garbage
Yes, if a watch costs less than around $4000 it automatically belongs in the trash.

>>14327258
>$4000

>>14327315

Bracelet is fugly. Go with a leather strap, or one of the million other skindivers in this price range.

>>14327230
The Casio is pretty bad, particularly the shitty-quart-movement date window and the "gold" casing.

I kinda like the orient. If the bracelet fits you it's above average in my book.

>>14327315
>overpriced
Yes it is. There's nothing extraordinary about it. You can see the same watch in 400 dollar offerings.
>good
Its not good. The lugs are too long, and are polished which ruins the tool look. The bezel is also crown locking so you have to have an exceptional autism brain to enjoy using it. The lume is also slightly mismatched, and the bezel has no lume which again you can see a lot of other divers having in that price point.

>>14327359
38mm is the largest acceptable diameter for watches without a bezel, only gauche manchildren buy larger sizes

>>14327539
Would you drop 60 dollars on it?

>>14327678
Only if you really like it, a new one cost 65$ shipped on eBay.

>>14326554
Are you buying it for like 10 bucks? Because a brand new one is super cheap.
That one is in terrible condition, just get a new one.

>>14327195
tiffany is not fashion watch. they're not good watches, but not fashion in any sense

Anyone had any experience with reversos? About to try this one on and probably buy it.

Could I get a rec for a thin face watch with a leather band that isn't Skagen? (Mens)

>>14327137
The "window" is part of a small inverted L-shaped metal lock. The lower bar of the L has the window and sits on the bezel. The vertical bar of the L locks in with the teeth of the bezel itself and has a hole through which the crown stem passes. You have to unscrew the crown to lift the lock and turn the bezel.

The bezel is a normal 120 click unidirectional bezel, but they added this because it's a reissue of an original model from the 70s had a free-spinning bezel and the lock was necessary to prevent it from moving around once set.

>>14327889

I wouldn't want to spend a lot on it. I was thinking $300 max

>>14327894
Can you post a watch you like regardless of the price? Or the style you want

>>14327899
I'm not keen on the large branding or band, but this style of watch

>>14327816
It's a classic, if you're dress in suits, ties and shirts get it! You can't do better than a reverso. Try it, sometime they fit funny because of the case shape, you might have to get the mid size. Same secs is the way to go. JLC's server cost are about £650 starting and the straps are expensive, just be aware but it will never look dated or be replaced by some new model that looks totally different, like a Tudor.

>>14327910
If you care about watch tech, look for a seiko or orient. They have a ton at your price point. Seiko presage is a good one since they're equally minimal and come in all shapes and sizes.

That's a pretty dressy watch, however. If you want a daily watch, you might like a pilot's watch, try laco at your price point. They're more casual but have a minimal aesthetic.

>>14327919
How are they for casual wear? I'm about to switch jobs that will involve a lot less suit wearing except for the occasional presentation, and would still want it.

How is the fit on small-ish wrists? The large size small seconds is the cheapest offering but if that means it's too large for me then I'll have to rethink.

>>14327925
I guess I'm looking for a dressy watch. I don't care for the ones you suggested, thank you though

>>14327943
Apologies. Try reading the guide in the OP if you haven't already. Just please, please don't buy a fashion quartz watch. You will regret it

Look for Russian watches with the 2209 movement

https://www.2209watchmovement.com/

>>14327957
Those are great

>>14327972
The only downside is mine are quite hard to wind and not very precise.

But it's a 40 year old watch so it's not the biggest problem.

>>14327980
How much did you pay for yours?

>>14327989
45$ shipped. You should only go higher if there is a dial you really like it's it's NOS.

>>14327957
I own 3 Russian watches. Every time I talk about them people rave how great they look. They were early purchases from eBay and I would never in a million years buy them again but they're fun to whip out rarely.

Sometimes when people ask me more technical details I mention that they often lose up to 15 seconds per day. It always makes a good joke:
>It's that Soviet attention to detail!

>>14327996
>45$ shipped. You should only go higher if there is a dial you really like it's it's NOS.
Or its NOS

>>14328003
My 2209 loses 200 seconds a day so it's not a daily watch. But I got a vostok that runs at + 2-3spd so that's impressive for a 55$ watch.

Why do people still wear watches? What does the value of a watch have to do with who you are? We know we can't buy the 'cool' watches, because they're boring and expensive but what has that value really got to do with who you are?

We are in a time before social media and television where we need new, connected things to show us the world. But they aren't the same as the 'cool' things of yesteryear because they can't be found on your wrist. So we need to create an experience where the watches are the most valuable things we can afford.

But don't expect your wristwatch to get you anywhere.

I saw a guy in the video below who bought a watch for his wife to wear whenever she went out with some other guy. If that isn't your thing, but if people are buying watches because they can't afford to buy something better, that's fine and I think everyone has a right to express themselves. My point isn't that they shouldn't have these expensive electronic devices made, but that they shouldn't be made as cheaply as possible and then thrown away. This isn't like watching the Discovery Channel and realizing that everything is made of plastic and that nothing can be as valuable as something made and manufactured in Brazil. In fact, watchmaking can be seen as something that benefits from human labor, which is why we have this sort of tradition in Brazil that we use it and that we don't just look at what's cheap. The irony of this is that most watches and watchesmakers aren't actually made here. They are made in China. That's where the watches are made from and that's where the jobs are.

We also use some traditional techniques and make other things from parts of the world that we wouldn't necessarily get in Brazil. We make many, many watches from Chinese parts. That is an obvious example.

>>14328011
Here you have me going to my watch case.

I have a Vostok which is a crowd pleaser, even though it's kind of a meme watch. If I'm within a minute by the end of the day it's a success.

Two Raketas, which in hindsight were both way too small for me even though I already have small wrists. But thankfully they were kind enough to put "MADE IN CCCP" so that when I die they might be worth something for historical value. I need to change the minute hand every few days.

I also have a Pobeda which is unironically my favorite because I wore it for so much of high school that I just have fond memories of wearing it. Most accurate one I've ever had, although the power reserve is probably 25 hours.

>>14328023
this is an amazing post, mind if I share it?

>>14328029
Sounds like a good Soviet collection, I only need a Raketa before my collection is finished.

>>14328033
One of my raketas is a moon related one, which has special value to me for many reasons. However, they both are very small, and I can only get away with it because of my small wrists that refuse to grow with exercise.

>>14328032
You can share my post if you want. But be warned. I'm not your normal man. And you are so much safer in the knowledge that I won't let you. Just to be on the safe side, a watch is a very dangerous thing. I got a little caught up on this when I was getting my watch. It was only last week that my wife caught me when I was checking the time at a cafe I was visiting and I looked over and I realized that my watch was gone. I took my watch into the restaurant only to find that it had been completely smashed. He's got this thing made out of copper and brass and in some parts looks like a very large watch. You put it through a lot of hell for the watch to survive and after we get a replacement. The way it's made is a lot like a real watch and it gets dirty very quickly. There have been times where I have been so close to breaking my wrist that I got the hell back to the restaurant and just sat down and said hi.

If I buy a watch around $10k, am I any more likely to get robbed because of it? Assuming it's not a Rolex. I take public transport because I'm in a big city, but do thiefs notice?
This is not a meme question.

>>14328038
That's nice I'm also going for one of the smaller ones.

>>14328063
Well you can't go wrong. And they'll probably be around 100-200 which is practically an unbeatable price.

>>14328047
Only if you live in a subhuman area

So don't get it? Can you guys recommend me something similar? I was hoping to grab it since it was in front of me. I thought refurbished for $80 wouldn't be so bad.

>>14328264
Just to provide more of an insight as to why it’s a bad idea. MK watches are what would be regarded as “fashion watches”, ie very low quality sweatshop produced trash that probably cost $3 to produce and are the price they are because of the name slapped on the case. Buy from reputable watch companies not fashion brands. At $80 find a good Seiko or Citizen.
