Whats this fake submariner with a 15$ apple watch chinese milanese knockoff. 15 yo girls w casios a158 are unironically more horologically savvy than this redditor onions boy watch

Good afternoon folks,

Looking to buy a wrist watch for the first time. Should I buy the Ulysse Nardin Classico Minute Repeater? Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Jeremy

Tell me about this watch, I got it from my grandpops.

>>14326615
The SOH II is probably the most horologically significant money can buy, it's an icon.

>>14326641
>The cuck watch
Is Ulysses Nardin the cuck watch company?

>>14326641
how much do those special erotic movements cost? they look fantastic

Why do all non high tier swiss luxury watches look cheap and imperfect?

Cop or not?

Thank you. I looked at they website, looks too minimalisctic for my taste. I would prefer something just a little bulkier.

>>14326202
>check out orient or seiko since you're young. junghans if you want to spend a bit more.
>dont get quartz if you want to look "serious "

Thank you. Are those companies considered /wt/ approved, and i can just choose any model from them?

>>14326484
If I had ththe money I would cop a breitling superocean heritage without a doubt. I wouldn't care about resale value so definitely would choose this over all other watches.

>>14326641
What kind of faggot would wear this? The chunks are too traditional, the Saudi oil barons would never be able to wear one, who the fuck has the money for this shit AND chooses it over a lange or patek?

Suggest a watch for me, please.

No numbers, power reserve on dial, white/silver face, blue hands could be an added extra.

>>14326725
Nah

>>14326753
/wt/ shits on them but orient is great for the money. I don't like the look of seikos as much but if you do they're decent quality.

Fag who knows nothing about watches here.

i always see on Gilt that watches are marked down from in the thousands to only a few hundred bucks. Are these actual deals, or are they pieces of shit?

Anon if you're getting more than 20% off a watch it's a fucking piece of shit that wasn't worth it's RRP in the first place.

List your budget and what type of watch you want.

Nice hulk, throw the speedy in the trash.

>>14327138

I would replace it with a Daytona, i'm just too poor to play the AD game of buying PM pieces just to get on the waiting list for one and i refuse to pay grey market prices. The speedy will do as my chrono for now, plus it has charm, i like it.

>>14327047
How accurate is it? What movement is in yours? Do you tend to wind it once at the start of the day or wind it continuously every couple of hours? If you wear it like every day for two weeks will it be multiple minutes out unless you keep setting it right every few days? Do you find much difference in the timekeeping between running the chrono and not running the chrono?

>>14327175

Can anyone ID what tom waits is wearing here? Thanks

>>14327193
>How accurate is it?
Gains about 3 seconds per day

>What movement is in yours?
the 1861

>Do you tend to wind it once at the start of the day or wind it continuously every couple of hours?
Wind it up every morning out of habit, though the power reserve is 48 hours

>If you wear it like every day for two weeks will it be multiple minutes out unless you keep setting it right every few days?
No, if it were that inaccurate I'd take it in for service

>Do you find much difference in the timekeeping between running the chrono and not running the chrono?
It doesn't affect the accuracy, but it does reduce the effective power reserve

>>14327112

What's your opinion on these two? Which would look better as a day to day meme watch?

>>14328564
>>14328566
My friend, you can wear whatever model of Boctok you want, so long as you make at least 200K you'll piss off /wt/ no end.

>>14328564
if you want this dial get an amphibia instead, only because it's a submarine, makes more sense on a dive watch.

>>14328573
Any recommendation on which Amp?

Lads, I bought into the meme watch. What strap do you think would be good on this? I was thinking a black bund or one of those marine nationales.

>>14328579
if you want pretty much the same dimensions of the komandirskie get the 420 case, but they list the sizes for lug to lug and all that on meranom

Who here /poorfag/

Decided my next purchase will be a Damasko with in house movement, already owned a DA37 for a few years.

>>14328654
It is a beautiful watch but it would have been better without the date.

>>14328711
I have an orange version of this I got a year or 2 ago for 30 something, does not keep time well at all, could be franken inside since it was off a Ukrainian. I think it was maybe ok in the beginning, said he serviced it, had good rating

>>14328790
Open it up and see what movement it has, should be 2609HA

>>14328818
im not prying it off just to get shit in it and probably not get it back on. I have some other russian watches so it sucks not having this tick the box of a dress/raketa piece. But not really worth doing anything with it $ wise

>>14328824
been a while though so just set and wound it, been about 3 minutes so far and its accuracy is looking incredible, we'll see if maybe I was just out of my fucking mind and setting it wrong 2 or 3 times, or if it's F U C K E D. Half hoping it is since this took it's strap

can someone post that pic which shows watch brands in different price ranges pls?

>>14328837
what's that in the background?

>>14328869

>>14328824
They're easy as shit to open the back cover up and put it back on, it's not a complex procedure.

Should I wear pic related to an investment banking interview tomorrow?

Whats a nice bauhaus watch that isnt chinkshit or "fashion" shit?

300 bucks range

>>14328936
No, place a Rolex Daytona emergency buy order at your local Rolex dealer and have it delivered to you by tomorrow's morning. Pay in cash and wear the receipt on your right wrist. You'll be fine.

>>14328940
Junkers Bauhaus for your budget or Junghans Max Bill (Quartz/Mechanical) if you want to spend a bit more.

>>14328936
Nope, you need at least a high end watch with a recognizable name ( Rolex or omega) to show clients that you can be trusted with their money

What's up with this thing /wt/? It's the Fortis Cosmonauts Chrono, how does it compare to the Speedy? I like that it has everything - the timer bezel and a tachymeter and a day/date. But is it shit?

Tell me honestly.

What do you think?

Why did you come here to ask that?

>>14329468
Where else would I ask? It's a Valjoux 7750, isn't that supposed to be really good?

>>14329477
The movement is great. It's fortis that you need to be wary of.

>>14329521
In what way, are they a sell-and-fuck-you-over-when-it-croaks company or something?

>>14329463
>it doesn't have subsecond markings even to 1/5 much less 1/100
Shit.

>>14329605
Why are you so obsessed with 1/100? What are you timing that need to be timed within a hundredth of a second accuracy?

>>14329533
You tell me. They could be. Check out as many reviews as you can. Read pages of watchuseek noggers discussing it

>>14329611
It doesn't even have 1/4 or 1/5 notches, even though almost every other Fortis chrono does, what the fuck. This has to be on purpose.

Good afternoon

>>14328711
Got it for like twenty bucks. Took about a week to get it run in, but now it loses about 10 seconds a day. Not bad for an old Commie shitter.

That probably comes from receving limited influence from the globalized outside world and the fact they could hardly boast about the technical prowess, so they had to get by with interesting designs.

Nice, but I got the limited edition of the new not-Heritage Superman they did for the French Armée de l'air, I like it better. Plus it has their own gears instead of the ubiquitous ETA.

Explorer II isn't a GMT in the proper sense like the GMT Master II.
It's just a regular watch that has an extra 24 hour hand for the 24 hour bezel. It was designed so spelunkers and people who work in places with no access to sunlight will know if it's AM or PM by looking at the 24 hand. It's not the same as the GMT being able to show multiple time zones by rotating the bezel.

Honestly, the Explorer II is kinda gimmicky as very few people are spelunkers or work jobs where they don't see sunlight, but I think it's a nice watch and one of Rolex's more underrated ones. I'd love one myself one day.

Patiently waiting for the Aevig Huldra v.2 to drop.

Too grandpa-like. The Russian ones only look cool when they have the bold, military style. This one isn't bad but I'd put it away and never actually wear it.

Thoughts on this Vostok shitter? What's a good alternative strap to get?

How often to wind a watch? Is it something you do in the morning once a day or continually throughout the day?
Does it affect accuracy to do one or the other or wear out the parts?

>>14330743
Its a 60 dollar pinko watch. I would never wear one.

Slav watches belong inside the bin, not on wrists.

>>14330768
>60 dollars
Ha! It was less than that

>>14330769
I think Slav watches are the most based kinds and the only ones worth the money.
Watches are pointless, they're obsolete. So why the fuck would you spend 5000+ on one when you can get one for 50 bucks that works the same? When a 10k watch has the same ETA movement that a 100 dollar watch has then you really need to think about your life and your choices and what you're spending money on.
Slavshit watches look cool, are mechanical, and are so cheap you don't feel guilty buying them.

I will only by Slavshit from now on.

>>14328569
Which model is this watch? I really want a watch in an interesting color like that green, or a yellow dial or something.

>>14330704

Best place to buy Vostok shitters? I'm intrigued now and they're so cheap I might as well give them a try

>>14330645
I have that exact one, except the hair spring is fucked. It runs an hour fast each day lol. Not worth getting fixed, unfortunately. I love the simple dial.

>>14330502
>Honestly, the Explorer II is kinda gimmicky as very few people are spelunkers or work jobs where they don't see sunlight

I work in tech and its super useful having GMT time on my explorer 2 since server logs switch between GMT and local time depending on the application. But yeah probably not what rolex had in mind when designing the watch.

>>14330894
The Explorer II doesn't have GMT time though. It just has 24 hour time in addition to 12 hour time. That's all.

GMT time isn't another way of saying 24 hour time. GMT is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.

>>14330829
I always see people recommending zenitar

You’re talking shit. You can independently adjust the GMT hand to any time zone you want.
See picture.

>>14331062
>GMT hand

There is no need to be upset, friend. A true GMT has a rotating bezel which the EII doesn't have.

>>14331075
But why have a bezel when you can just set the GMT hand?
Im guessing it’s to track two time zones. Seems kinda useless.

Gonna buy this as my first watch. What do you think, anon?

>>14331102
very MDE or drain gang looking imo

>>14330620
I think that it looks very classy indeed sir. It wears like a charm on the wrist and slips nicely under the cuff, it could perhaps be the classiest dress watch ever made.

Who the fuck is this even for? Muslims are the only people I can think of who'd want a prayer compass, but the mix of English and what I assume are transliterated Arabic words seems really bizarre, and even weirder is that as far as I know Muslim men aren't supposed to wear anything that even remotely resembles gold jewelry, I've seen Arabs begging Rolex to make all stainless versions of certain watches because even white gold isn't allowed.

>>14331139
Oh, fuck, it even says "Islamic Prayer Series" right at the top, so yeah it's definitely a Muslim thing.

What's the best soviet watch brand?
>inb4 they're all shit
yeah i know, that's not my question

Why are there no good watches below like $3-5k? I went into this hobby thinking I can get something cheap and military-looking and then I realized even those watches are $3k at least. This is really dumb.

>>14331152
There are plenty, especially if you include vintage pieces.

>>14331167
Ok, tell me something that's just a basic military/tool chrono like the Speedy, or the Fortis Cosmonauts Chrono, or the Marathon CSAR please.

>>14331171
Sinn chronos are cheaper, if it doesn't have to be fully mechanical I'm sure there are a ton of mecha quartz or quartz chronos that fit the bill too.

>>14331173
This one? https://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/103_St_Sa.htm

It's really weird looking though, it has random fonts everywhere and it looks cheap like an Invicta. Fortis and Marathon and Speedy actually look very well designed.

>>14331139
Yep, it's for muslims, just like you said in the other post. Casio has quite a few models. This one would suit those that don't want to wear anything golden.
Would be fun if casio also printed the watchface in arabic letters, it would look fun and attrackt also those that don't understand any english.

Maybe those who can't read english live in a country where there is a call to prayer anyway so they don't need such a watch.

>>14331227
damasko is some serious and unique shit though, watch the worn and wound factory tour video, i think only like 3000 people watched it lol

>>14330229
>Is Breitling fake heritage?
Yes, the company was wound up in the 70s. Then Sicura obtained the rights to the name and set up a new company.
Sinn bought the rights to the original Navitimer design around the same time.

Literally a convoluted mess.

>>14331357
Really? It looks like an upgrade to Speedy to me. Of course it can't have 1/5 second markings for some reason so it's automatically trash. If it had that I would've ordered it yesterday.

>>14329938
Can someone answer this?

>>14331361

This one looks up your alley. Nice, simple design.

>>14331374
The rotating bezel is just to track another time zone.

>>14331384
But if the bezel isn’t aligned normally, won’t that make reading the GMT time a pain in the ass?
Seems dumb and I can’t even find a photo with the bezel not aligned.

>>14331396

It's to tell time in a different timezone. Look up how to tell time in a different timezone with a GMT watch.

>>14331396
I guess that you have a misunderstanding of the bezels function. It would be easier to watch a vid, maybe this one can help.

>Marathon csar
>simple

Just had the idea of how to use your diving bezel for a GMT function. Well, it's actually a reminder of the hours to add or subtract from your home time.

You could memorize it like in the pic. Then you just assume that the 12 o'clock position on the dial is your starting point and just turn the bezel to display the amount of hours you need.

Assume the 12 on the dial as "+" so you have to add the hours that are shown on the bezel.
When you wanted to remember how many hours to substract instead of to add, one would assume the 6 on the dial as "-" and start the hour count from there.
Why 12 and 6? Well twelve is above so a + and 6 is below so a -.

Of course it would be easier to just remember the time difference or set your watch but sometimes you are in a hurry and just forget about it or are unsure, so a reminder on your wrist can be useful.

>>14331474
Oh wow. This is revolutionary. You are a genius.

Oh wait, you're a moron. a 24 hour dial needs a 24 hour hand, you dolt.

>>14331418

That's not really a good video. The point of the GMT hand is to be at GMT = 0 relative to your timezone, then you rotate the bezel to the correct GMT - or + to find another timezone.

>>14331480
It's a bit hard to explain my retarded ideas, i give you that. What i meant was that the hour has nothing to do with it.

>12th indice is the starting point
>turn the bezel until: Bezel 10 is above watchface 12
>Bezel 10=4 like in pic
>now you have a reminder to add 4 hours to the displayed time

It's just a reminder. Well a complicated one but it would work for me.

>>14331486
I don't get your problem. A digital watch with timezones would probably solve it.
You need a reference watch for rolexes gmt function, yes, but there is no single mechanical gmt watch that can function without a reference time so you know how to set it.

>/wt/ has become so retarded no one knows how to use a fucking GMT

>>14331491
I understand an Explorer 2. You can easily track a second time zone.
When you havea rotating bezel it just makes the GMT hand useless....

>>14331461
Yes? It could be improved by not having numerals but overall it's pretty decent, just way too huge.

>>14331490

You set your GMT hand to Greenwich mean time. You have to know the timezone of the place and find it by going + or - GMT to find the time.

>>14331494
Are you out of your mind thinking that's a simple tool watch? You have to be bonkers to think it is simple.

>>14331495
Yes, i know. That's what you can do with the explorer 2.
Both hands cen be set INDIVIDUALLY to every timezone you like.

>>14331500

I'm not talking about setting the hand to a timezone. I'm saying set the hand to GMT, and rotate the bezel to find your other timezone. So essentially there's three timezones. Your local time, GMT, and the time that you want to find using the bezel.

>>14331497
Compared to a Speedy, which is the most basic tool chrono that doesn't look like shit, it only has the addition of a diver bezel, and day/date. If you don't count the unnecessary numerals. It's very far from the ridiculous pilot slide rule watches.

>>14331497
Maybe if you argued like a man instead of like an upset, british housewife he would get your point.

Just tell him:
>more shit added to the movement = more possibilities to fail
>watch has calender function and chrono thus making it not simple by definiton in the world of watch movements.

>>14331509
I thought we were talking about aesthetics.

>>14331510
Oh, then maybe i just got it wrong, i didn't read your whole conversation with the other dude. I just saw your post and wanted to shitpost a bit.

>>14331505
Ok now i get it. Well rolex did not include a rotating bezel for the explorer 2. They didn't want to piss off fans of the GMT master by just making the E2 too similar.
The GMT master has a rotating bezel and can do what you wrote.

>>14331526

Yes, but it's also $20,000.

Are slav watches and Casios the only acceptable poorfag watches?

>>14331540
Yeah, rolex price policy and all their little tricks and the hype of the fans create overinflated prices.
Well, there is a similar tudor, just saw one for €4.1K.
Personally i would just get a good, unlabeled hommage like tisell or parnis to cure the itch. No way in hell i would pay so much much for a rolex and not feel like the biggest goy for buying in the current market situation.
I like rolexes only for their design anyway so i would be fine with only getting the hull with a good jap movement.

>>14331570
No

>>14331631

Parnis and tisell are not homages.

>>14331631

Just get a Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT. Eta movement, ceramic bezel available.

Nice watches, but doesn't the radium paint pose any danger to the wearer?

>>14331652
Yes they are. It's only a legit replica when you print rolex on it. They don't do that, it's either their own name or unlabeled.
>>14331661
Thanks for the reccomendation, steinhart is a great alternative. I forgot to mention that i don't like the rolex gmt that much but if i would i'd get one of the alternatives.

>>14331696

They are not good homages. They are carbon copies.

>>14331733
The argument wasn't if they are good homages, just that they are homages

>>14331733
Yeah, most people will hate them for that but i don't mind. No matter how similar it looks, if the name is different it's not a fake. But i don't mind fakes either. Only if people don't admit it when asked and try to fool others, then it's annoying. But i have not once met anybody like this.

Tag shitter checking in. What shitters are /wt/ wearing today?

>>14331948

Chinese shitter

thought i should share my chocolate milk here too since it seems relevant

any dress watch recs

>>14331973

You are drinking that whole chocolate milk at once?

>>14331988
no there’s three servings and i’m lactose intolerant so i can only drink a fourth or so at a time :/

>>14331973
Get a reverso.

>>14331996
That’s not very intolerant.

>>14332062
yes thank god i can drink choccy milk but there is a slight stomach ache to accompany it

Who else F U L L L U M E in here?
Wish I’d gotten the Tag night diver though :/

Stop posting that piece of shit.

Basedmaster is based
What are my options for a lime dial diver? Old Heuer night divers and zodiac red dots go for hugely inflated prices, is the basedmaster my best bet? Think orient does a full lume mako but only in dinner plate proportions

>>14332148
They made a couple of Tag F1s with a lumed dial. They're not really divers but have 200m wr & a rotating bezel.

>>14329170
let me throw that out for you

>>14331458
It's purpose was to be an Instagram meme campaign, which it accomplished, so you can't call it a failure.

If it came as a 39mm it could have been epic.

>>14331948
Slavshit.

I'm going crazy trying to find a normal looking field/tool/whatever chrono. Why is it so hard?

>>14331948
this one but on leather strap

>>14332094
You’re just jealous.

>>14332148
the night divers look really cool, but I've only seen quartz models for sale. idk if they made any automatics though.

they look really nice with some patina

>>14332203
this look really bad unfortunately

>>14331680
the radioactivity of the paint is so minute, it can't penetrate the layers of the dial/movement/back or even the crystal.
The women they used to hire to paint it on back in the day got cancer right and left since they were told it was safe and they were licking their brushes to get a fine point hundreds of times per day.
If you remove the dial and hands and bite down on them, that would be bad. but as long as it's in the watch the alpha or gamma particles cannot enter your body

Timex command, its G-Shock alternate

Fire away

>>14332298
Pretty sure they’re only quartz and not particularly good quartz at that.

>>14331948
TICK

>>14332308
yep which is a shame since the watches do look very good (albeit a bit sub homage-y)

>>14332321
I wonder why they bothered putting lume on the hands when it's all lume underneath. I think it would be much cooler if the hands were skeletonised where the lume should be if you know what I mean

>>14331948
Got the job

>>14332345
yeah i know what you mean. it makes sense on the basedmaster since the lume looks visibly lighter on the hands which improves legibility.

doesnt look like thats the case for the tag though.

What watch do I wear to get women?

>>14332362

A watch won't get you women.

>>14332300
Thanks anon.
Although, what about servicing these types of watches? The radium paint will surely have become somewhat brittle?

>>14332351
Based.
What kind of job?

>>14332321
This is the watch Timothy Dalton wore as James Bond in The Living Daylights

>>14332499
Judging by that fucking shitter, probably manager at McDonald's.

>>14332494
I'm sure there must be occupational safety standards in place but the way I understand it human skin will repel one type of particle completely (alpha or gamma, can't remember which is which) and the other you still have to be touching it or almost so.
basically don't take it internally and you're good AFAIK

Which one?

>>14332705
god that tudor looks so good

>>14332705
I'd go with the BB58 without question.

>>14332705
Tudor 100%. Omega is such a fucking joke outside of some versions of the speedmaster.

>>14332705
no contest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMdmByDGhb0

>>14332705
The Omega is a shitter but try the Choodor first if you can, I was surprised to be underwhelmed considering how nice it looks in pics.

>>14332724
I would not call the new seamaster a shitter, I think the 58 would hold its value better I the long run

>>14332705

Idk the Seamaster really pops

https://youtu.be/_upu_bmaWKA

>>14332705
The BB58 looks fucking decent.
I love Omega, but but the only one from them I'd actually buy is the Planet Ocean in 39.5mm

What's this Rational Consultant brand I keep hearing about? Can't find anything about them, are they Swiss?

>>14332745
I dont get the appeal at.all. Seriously one of the worst looking watches of the modern era.

Like why even waste money on this when you could get a sub.

>>14332813
>get a sub
Good luck finding one

Gooosh! I've been thinking about that lately

>>14332745
maybe but not compared to the tudor

>>14332705

Just buy Pam510 better than both

>>14332990
This looks great actually. Panerai are really growing on me

>>14332990
Sec this or rad

>>14333003
>>14333041
>>14332990
you just have Rolex fatigue from seeing them talked about ad nauseum in /wt/ (brand fatigue also accounts for the increase in anti-Seiko sentiment here). Panerai is still ugly shit.

>>14333054
It's not ugly though. Seems like a unique design that hasn't been played out to shit like the Sub

>>14333088

Literally looks about the same as any other Panerai watch.

>>14333093

>>14333093
See you guys in here

>>14333054
I used to be very anti-Panerai, until a friend of mine bought a PAM01312 and he let me wear it for a bit. It wears surprisingly well for a watch its size, and this is coming from someone who is reluctant to go for 42mm. They just seem right at that size.

>>14333107
meaning 44mm?

The bin.

Should I get the casio ae1200wh-1a (pic related)? I'd like a casio but don't wanna spend too much, and I'd avoid the simplest that anyone has. Ty.

>>14333245

Is a used Timex Flyback Chronograph the best deal on a flyback chrono, for me? I regularily use a stop watch so this seems really helpful.

>>14333312
Can you poor faggots make a different watch general and leave us alone please.

>>14332923
Nice BM8180 bro.

If you get an AE1200 at least get the green map version.
