As someone who's into watches and not retarded with popular culture, I've tried to take note of what types of watches are mentioned in rap songs.

Rolex is obviously there, but Patek might be no. 1 lately. I'm not sure that people realize it's a watch, though.

Beyond this, I've heard occasional mentions of Audemars as well as Richard Mille. The latter was somewhat veiled and not going to be understood by a normie.

Pic related is a pic I took of a RM display in Quebec. Keep in mind I was pretty drunk

>>14356493
>I don’t think most people could even name 5. They would probably say Rolex and Omega, and then go for general luxury brands like Gucci. Maybe more people know Audimar Piguet due to the Royal Oak being popular among celebs but that’s about it.
That's the thing, I asked people about Omega and NO ONE knew what it was even remotely. No one heard of the Speedmaster. I asked about TAG Heuer, two people out of 5-6 knew about it. Rolex, everyone knew it. Festina, everyone knew it. Seiko, Timex, Casio, everyone knew those.

This is in Central Europe mind you and this was mostly guys and one woman, I'm sure that the kind of women who follow Instagram whores know the brands they market for example.

>>14356513
Nice outfit you fat ass. Is that an Oreo shirt?

Thats it lads. I'm getting a max bill. first watch.

>>14356518
>Festina

In the US, most know Omega and Rolex. See >>14356513

>>14356518
>no one knew Omega
I can kind of believe that, although my anecodotal evidence is that most people in my circles have heard of it. UK here btw. Maybe it’s rise in popularity though Bond is the reason. That’s when I first heard of it as a kid.

In my experience 50% of female friends/coworkers knew Omega (although one time sticks in my mind where one woman thought my Seamaster was a rolex, even though I have my doubts she even knows what a sub looks like)

Most of my male coworkers and friends know of it. Most of my male work colleagues have some interest in watches though. My boss is a Panerai guy, another really likes IWC, one guy has a Baume et Mercier, etc.

>>14356532
Dang it's got levels and shit, definitely worth the $50000000k, and the invisible tourbilllililon, worthy of an emperor.

Best daily wear watch for under $9k?

Must be versatile to slight damage (probably stainless), minimal water resistance, and not too formal of a look.

Bonus points if not a sub

Okay friends, I need you to help me. I need a watch with purple on it. This can be accents, dial, hands, whatever, it just needs some purple.

Preferably in the 1-10k range, as this is a gift. No seikos, which are the only ones I've found with purple bezels. There's also that hideous nomos

>>14356568
Just google purple Rolex dude.

>>14356571
yes I was made fun of for the purple dialed datejust. That's why I thought purple accents might work better

>people who are interested in a subject know more on said subject than people who aren’t

Of course normies will only recognize Rolex, Omega, Timex, Seiko and designers. That’s what they see everyday.

Name 5 brands of panties lets see if you watch chads can.

>>14356575

>>14356651
There's a lot of crap but occasionally they make a decent watch.

>>14356590
normies will see any watch with a bracelet and cyclops and think it's rolex from a distance

>>14356651
Very well. Bvlgari Octo line. Look it up.

>>14356670
Because Rolex's iconic cyclops is equivalent to Apple's iconic white earpods. Same reason manufacturers started copying Apple back then during the time of the iPod.

i went in to a seiko boutique today to see some of these shitters first hand and you know what
some of the presage models like the cocktail time and a few of the dive watches looked so good in person, i almost bought myself a seiko samurai.

not to mention the grand seiko's that were amazing all polished up and on display

Good morning!

>banged my 200K vostok off a table and cracked the crystal

R8 my absolute shitter USSR watch collection.

These are not my only watches but my only USSR ones.

One runs +/- 1 minute per day, one runs +/-30 seconds, and one runs +/- 1 second because it's quartz

>>14356845
>soviet watch
>stars and stripes

>>14356848
Commissioned as a reunification watch for US/USSR relations.

The middle watch literally says "Glasnost" which refers to more open relations between the government and the people, and subsequently the people of the world.

>>14356731
i almost got one of these, i love this watch man. a solid quality medium sized chrono

>>14356841
48 - 52 mm

>>14356855
Is this a troll??
50+mm is the only size that will work. 48mm will be too small

>>14356845
cool and unique , I like the leftmost one the best

>>14356858
shouldn't even reply to this bait but >>14356841 imo 65mm - 68mm will work best

>>14356861
I'll sell it to you if you don't mind a watch that won't read the correct minute by the end of the day

1,500 bucks, 41mm, I think it looks really good.
What are the opinions on Sinn in this thread? Should I get it?

>>14356874
Sinn makes good tool watches. One of the few brands making watches in that price range worth buying. That alligator strap is a travesty though, just get one on a bracelet.

>>14356874
I'm biased but I like the Sinn hands.
I don't like the logo or the fact that it's obviously a purchased movement.

Realistically I couldn't spend over $1000 on a Sinn, but I like the looks. Will anyone else recognize it? No. Who cares

>>14356875
I definitely will. I just looked for a pic on google and it happened to be of the alligator.

>>14356875
I've been scouring over their website. I'm in love with all of their watches. Their chronos look great and aren't oversized usually.
How have I not known about Sinn until now?

anyone who knows anything about ballet knows she's a modern day icon

>>14356894
There's no race baiting though, she really was a Seiko ambassador a few years ago, and I really like her.

Any opinions on this Fortis chrono? Looks a bit weird, the bezel isn't completely black? Other than that I love the look, and it has day/date which is usually missing on chronos for some reason, usually there's just the date if anything.

>>14356899
please just don't buy a fortis unless you plan to stay within the eastern EU for your entire life

For those that care about finissage. Interior angle filing.

>>14356907

fortis is unheard of for the rest of the world. as a new worlder I literally did not know the brand existed outside of this thread.

Just get an IWC pilot chrono, it'll cost more but it's the more reputable version of what you posted

My father just returned home from a business tip. He knows that I have lately been very interested in watches, so he was thoughtful and bought me a gift.

A Tommy Hilfiger watch. Obviously my father is clueless when it comes to timepieces, and this is certainly not a watch I would buy for myself. But even though it’s a fashion watch I can’t say I hate it. It’s aesthetically rather pleasing, and i can use it as a day-to-day watch. (my only other watch is a 1960s gold Swiss watch that I use as dress watch)

>>14356897
>second hairiest arms I've ever seen on a woman, assuming that's a woman and not a tranny.
Is this some kind of joke? What were they thinking?

>>14356920
What do the "chrono" pushers do? It doesn't have any chronograph subdials. Day, date and 24 hours

>>14356909
Part 3/3. The rounded interior corner at the bottom is how it comes out of the CNC machine, in mass-produced serialised watches this corner is most commonly just chemically polished, or in more common higher-end mass-produced pieces, it's polished by hand with the aide of a mechanical hand tool.

In very expensive pieces though, such as those coming from independent watchmakers, that rounded interior corner is filed as shown in this video until there is a sharp interior corner formed. This bevel or anglage is then polished until it shows no scratches under magnification.

>>14356914
As a machinist you would know that sharp interior angles on bevels aren't possible. Why else would the top Swiss manufactures hire angleurs?

>>14356920
thanks for the worthless post. do you want our opinion? our resale valuation?

it looks distinctly quartz

>>14356921
I love it. Seiko president is probably into it too or something.

>>14356926
That’s the ridiculous part. The buttons are used for changing the date and day

>>14356920
Beat him up and stick it in his ass hole.

>>14356929
Of course it’s quartz. And I realise it’s made my chink children in a sweatshop somewhere. I just posted to share my (mis)fortune in receiving this. I believe the retail price is about 130$. Had I known my father wanted to buy this I would have said I’d rather want the money to save up for a proper, automatic, watch.

>>14356917
>fortis is unheard of for the rest of the world. as a new worlder I literally did not know the brand existed outside of this thread.
I went to check and on Watchuseek it has two times the thread count that brands like Cartier or Citizen have, 10 times the thread count of Montblanc, and approximately similar thread count as Glycine and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Is it really such shit?

>>14356938
I've been there.

My father, who doesn't earn much, wanted to buy me something fancy for the only vacation we ever took to New York.

He ended up paying $500 for a $30 quartz movement.

>>14356951
How can you stand having poor parents? Why don't you just cut contact with them?

>>14356943
Even though it has a lower thread count, I don't think there's any way to put it below JLC or Cartier.

Montblanc has failed its revitalization past its minerva movements and citizen/glycine(?) are unheard of in the high watchmaking world.

I say this as a friend, if you want a good watch don't get a fortis. If you want a cheap/ish watch that satisfies moderate watchmaking standards, it's fine. Otherwise don't settle.

>>14356951
>>14356938
My wife got me a Fossil watch for Christmas. It's 44mm too and I have small wrists
I wear it once a week so that she sees and thinks I like it

Thankfully in the US you can request new parents, so I requested a new pair that buys me most anything I want. I can't do too much or they catch on to what I'm doing.

>>14356954
>the high watchmaking world.
>Watchuseek
Uhh...

>>14356955
You responded to me.

My gf bought me a MVMT watch,

The aesthetics are meh, and I get around wearing it by saying it's a dress watch. Lately, every time I'm drunk I try to explain a new watch concept and she seems to be understanding.

Lately, she's been talking about buying me an Omega aquaterra for my promotion, which is a big step up from where we've been.

Generally, I sympathize and want to say that most people don't understand watches. You didn't until you saw some videos or in person demonstrations. Be patient but also somewhat insistent on explaining the hobby, as something like a jewelry.

>>14356958
high watchmaking is anything beyond department store sales. If you don't like this definition then get out.

>>14356927
Here's what I'm talking about. In more common serialised but higher-end pieces like the Moser's Endeavour Perpertual, the anglage is minimal. The bevels are done by machine and only likely polished by hand with the help of a hand tool.

Now let's compare that same movement in to a limited release edition of 10 pieces. You know see fuller anglage, and you see sharp interior angles. This is all done by hand.

The Endeavour Golden Edition is priced at 71,5k, and the regular Endeavour is priced at 51,5k.

>>14356927

>>14356981
(Comparison is OC.)

Here's a close-up of the Golden Edition cal. 431.

Good morning watchfams

>>14356983
And again, on the standard cal. 431, the interior angle on the balance cock is non-existent.

>>14356981
God I should manufacture watches. I can machine-produce similar effects to the "limited release"

>>14356845
Miron that copernicuw

>>14356993
Do note that the even standard cal. 431 is well finished. This is just like comparing standard machine-stitched leather on your S-Class vs. the upgrade package to premium Italian hand-stitched leather interiors.

>>14356993
Lol good luck. The Swiss has spent millions upon millions developing machines and they still can't produce sharp interior angles on their anglage by machine and yet you think you, from bumfuck nowhere can achieve it? Go ahead. Do it. Show a proof of concept. You can start up shop as a finisher and make millions. The Swiss won't have any use for the angleurs anymore. You're way too over yourself. If it was possible Patek would've done it by now instead of being ridiculed online by WIS for their CNC'd bevels with rounded interior corners.

>>14356993
Go email Thierry Stern right now and tell him that you, Mr. Machinist, can achieve interior angles with your machine. He'll ask for a proof of concept, you send him that, and you'll receive an offer you won't refuse. Lol @ you thinking this is possible by machine. Delusional.

>>14357001
Also, Moser has a sister company, Precision Engineering AG, same owners. Top of the line, million dollar machines in house and Moser is one of the very few manufactures out there that produce their own balance springs. If with all those r&d teams, machines, and know-how, and yet they're still unable to do anglage with sharp interior corners by machine, what makes you think you yourself can do it? >>14356993

>>14357016
Yeah because a company that makes money selling hand finished watches would want to release equally finished products at a fraction of the cost right? They'd put themselves out of business.

>>14357035
Nice deflection. Again, if it was possible by machine it would've been done by now. Take for example this ref. 5016 Patek. Completely hand-finished but still it uses a CNC machined part.

>>14357041
The Calatrava cross is the CNC'd part. If interior angles were produceable by machine, this repeater regulator would have interior angles instead of rounded corners.

>>14357041
These internal angles that you keep wanking over and squawking that they're impossible to do on a machine are definitely do-able on a 6 axis.

>>14357046
And yet not one brand high-end or low, has produced a watch with machined interior angles. These brands wouldn't shame themselves with machine rounded corners on their bevels if it was feasible to do machined interior angles.

How about the Rolex Milgauss? It’s not a particularly popular model but I love it.

Is this the average Seiko owner?

>>14357054
Tired fucking meme the same as the Vacheron Nazi logo. Fuck off.

>>14357051
Maybe you have low spatial IQ if you can't wrap your head around how easy that is to machine on something more advanced than a 3 or 4 axis.
And you must have low overall IQ if you can't fathom why they'd deliberately gimp their machined offerings so they can charge big bucks for the "hand finished" version.

Morning, gents.
https://youtu.be/X60SzJQB1yU

>>14357059
Yeah that's why Patek gimped out on using that technology on an already hand-finished watch right here: >>14357043. Fucking idiot.

Lmao seriously, if it's so easy for you go start a finishing company. Plenty of brands outsource their finishing nowadays, tell them you can get anglage like Dufour but with a machine. You'll be a billionaire soon enough playboy.

>>14357054
The vintage ones are nicer imo (like the 1019 and 6541). The modern milgauss is too thick because of the anti magnetic cage to be honest.

>>14357064
>tell them you can get anglage like Dufour but with a machine.
But anybody who isn't retarded already knows that. I'm not even the machinist guy.

Jesus Christ I can’t believe sober days are over.
Have a nice weekend, watch frens.

For a change of pace, I want to find a really bizarre or crazy looking watch just to have a bit of fun with at times. Unfortunately most of the watches that come up when Googling are those hundred thousand dollar things.

Can anyone point me in the direction of affordable (sub $1000) yet bizarre/crazy/etc watches?

Salmon is different and interesting but not too flashy like bright red or something

Also, salmon dials should actually be called copper, not salmon

Pretty much my first watch.

I often have to meet with this insanely rich Saudi guy in Germany and he always is wearing a $10K suit and a different absurdly expensive watch. He's real flashy and makes a big show of it, used to haughtily compare it to whatever I had on (usually a speedmaster or a day-date). So when I see him I stopped wearing a nice watch, and instead I wear this POS, and give a big smile whenever he tries to compare. It PISSES HIM OFF and I love it

Just to be in the entry level category, so Omega or Rolex or upwards.

>>14357828
There are Hamiltons (which are basically Tissots), Orients (which are Seikos), Casios or Citizens. Also check Junghans (quartzs at that price point), and there are some other oddities here and there... but yeah, basically "Tissots & Seikos".

They are overpriced for the finishing and movement, that's a company that licensed a movement from Seiko and tried to pass it off as in-house.

Pure ass, my friend.

All watches are always photographed with 10:10 for that comfy look. But what is the day which should be set on daydate watches for display? Is it Sunday?

I'm a poorfag looking for watch, the one I'm currently wearing is a cheapass plastic Casio, so literally anything is better than my current situation.
My budget is around $100 (sad, I know)
I'm fine with buying used watches too, but I still want to make sure it works and everything
Recommendations are very appreciated, although, I don't know if there's any hope for me

>>14357897
thats actually hilarious because I am an architectural intern, a virgin by statute of limitations (1 time 5 years ago) and this is going to be my first watch.

I guess its a good thing it suits me personally.

Not a watch guy (a dying breed) but are most watch straps interchangable be it to a brand or not?

>>14358014
Wear it in good health.

>>14357999
Mostly so.

>>14358012
Cheap Casios are ok anon. Keep saving.

>>14358015
Most of them come in three widths, 18, 20 or 22 milimiters; and are intechangeable. But not all, some models use propietary straps or barcelets, or odd widths.

Are oyster perpetuals considered the dogs of the Rolex steel sports line or are they truly underrated?

>>14358671
truly underrated but i sold mine to fund a datejust. they just can't escape their place as the beginner or "bargain" rolex.

if you don't care about that design-wise it's pretty nice and historic as it was the first rolex ever made and still shares the same design. it's also the only rolex you can wear without offending poorfags

Aspiring watchmaker here again. WOSTEP Neuchâtel tuition - 35k for a 3 year course. Average rent in and around Neuchâtel - 2k/m, groceries, and other expenses - 1k/m. Anyone got 143k they can spare?

Howdy. Terrorist watch owner from /g/, just noticed this general has been banned there. I want to buy some similar meme watches— preferably with some bright colors to them. Any reccs? Chinkshit is ok I guess, but I'd prefer a couple reccs of decent build quality.

>>14358752
Some old salary rates I've seen for beginner watchmakers in Switzerland is 3-4k. I'll only start earning after I find a job after I graduate. For Glashütte the average for watchmakers, not beginners is 1,8k - with senior watchmakers complaining about their wages all across the board from Lange to Nomos. I haven't found how much the tuition fee costs in Germany/Glashütte though.

ffs i feel like im on reddit. what is this, a circle jerk cool aide party?

the second patek offers interior anlage by machine, its desirability is decreased and they are stuck with increased production costs because they are using more complex machine. why do that when they can just pass hand finishing costs to the consumer with a 10x markup?

and shitter brands don't do machined inner anlage to 'up stage' patek because their target audience doesn't jerk themselves off over such small details. if timex started doing polished inner corners, their consumers would be like 'why the fuck do i want to pay $10 more for that shit?'

fuck off to reddit.

no its not diamond. almost all jewel bearings are corundum (ruby/sapphire). Some are clear.

>Wonder why more high end watchmakers don't choose different gemstones?

Why would they.

Corundum is already one of the hardest gemstones at 9 Mohs and has a very well studied and predictable friction coefficient. Corundum-steel and diamond-steel have almost the same friction coefficient so there is not any real benefit from using diamond over ruby

Plus it can be synthesized very easily, cheaply much more so than synthetic diamonds
synthetic gems are also much more homogeneous than natural gems

Diamond is still sometimes rarely used by some manufacturers
but it is not common because it is much harder than ruby so therefore much more difficult to cut, shape, polish and work with. Ruby is very hard too but it can be worked on with diamond tipped tools

kys disgusting weeb

So... I'm looking for a dress watch for around £5-10k pricewise. Where it gets tricky is that I don't come from money but need a respectable watch due to the nature of my job (I work in finances). I was thinking of getting PP Calatrava. However, these might be my insecurities speaking but it seems to me that I'd be perceived as a nouveau riche with PP or Rolex on my wrist. Hence I was thinking of getting something more low key like IWC Portofino/Portoguese or paying a bit more and getting ALS Saxonia. Any other suggestions? Sorry no Seikos.

>>14359589
Every thread on 4chan is an anime thread. Everyone posting here who doesn't like anime is an unwelcome guest Like a nigger in europe.
It's literally a site made by an anime fan for anime fans and now owned by a japanese guy.

>>14359589
yeah, that is still on 4chan bud, you probably shouldn't come here

>>14359591
It's a neverending source of amusement that one guy keeps posting these. You think you're clever?

hey it sounds like this ain't the site for you then, you should try one that isn't anime related

>>14359605
So why are you posting on an anime site? Have you noticed that most of the banners are anime? That the site mascot is from a manga? Surely you're aware of who owns the site? You can post anywhere you want but you chose to post on an anime site and then complain about anime.
Sir I think you might be a bit retarded.

Walking into a boutique and buying the watch you're looking for? Gross

I prefer going to the AD, getting assblasted by spending 15k on watches I don't want/like to prove I'm worthy to buy a 10k watch. It's even more fun when you get put on a waitlist for a couple of months.

>>14359662
But the boutique gave me a cute box and the lady was qt :3

If seiko weren't perceived as a threat to the swiss you cold simply ignore them like those seagull chinese guys but the way you constantly engage seiko suggests a certain amount of fear.
If you weren't afraid you could just ignore them.

Alas I can not, for I have stored it in the freezer to prevent further damage until it is ready for the restoration.

Let my tale be a warning to all Speedy owners: always wear a saran wrap over it unless you're in the Sahara desert, and even then, remember to wrap it when you pee.

>>14359696
But it's not true irl is it. It's almost the opposite. A 10-50k watch is a monument to inefficiency and insecurity. When you're an employee and not running the company It's literally pissing money down the drain.
