Fuck off retard.

Everyone in this thread is suffering from some sort of serious psychosocial mental illness. If you are new to watches do not read these threads. Do not participate in them. There is nothing worthwhile here, no real help, no useful info. Just bizarre jealousy and anger masquerading as superiority, people who can't afford $50 watches tearing down people who can afford $500 watches for not affording $5000 watches. Insane post purchase rationalization. The weirdest gayest gatekeeping I have ever seen

Go to literally any other watch source but this, seriously

>>14383312

Luckily I would never wear a watch to my suits.

Thought on Certinas?
Double Security really means something?

What's a good watch for a mom, 31 years old. 5k or lower?

>>14383347
trash

Why does no company do anything remotely similar to the aesthetic of this watch and cost less than $3000 it’s not fucking fair.

All I want is a watch that looks like this and maaaaybe has a GMT complication.

Thanks to /wt/, I made up my mind that this Aquaracer was the one I wanted to top off my watch collection. After owning several Citizen's, I felt it was time to do a proper upgrade and spend a little (#YOLO!). This community helped me decide the brand and model that fit my taste. The requirements were a) dive watch; b) automatic; and c) blue dial. These specs counter what I have currently in my collection.

After pouring through countless posts, reviews, and YT videos, I decided on the Aquaracer. At the store, I debated further between the nylon strap or steel bracelet. In the end, steel won because I can always buy a nylon or rubber strap for much cheaper than buying the steel bracelet separately.

Now I'm happily wearing this beauty and even happier to be part of the Tag club. Thanks for the inspiration, y'all!

>>14383357
Nice cop man. Looks cool. Be prepared for seething poorfags who watch too much Paul Pluta shrieking "shitter" at you.

>>14383347
They have good quartz chronos, but they aren't allowed to look too much like a Speedy because Swatch.

>>14383357
I honestly like the look of the Carrera and Aquaracer the most out of all chronos and divers, but unfortunately I'm too old to wear fashion/sporty watches like that.

>>14383366
That's a peak boomer watch, you double digit iq retard.

>>14383368
Not really, it's a high school/college watch, a little above Seiko. It's the kind of stuff you wear while dousing yourself with Axe and gelling your hair to go to parties and pull bitches or whatever kids call it nowadays.

Watch starter here

sadly I'm wristlet, too skinny for common watches, looking something less than 40mm

Is there any webpage to show all watches around the world that can be filter/sort by case size? Really disgusting to love one and realise it doesn't fit me.

>>14383318
You have a good point. Is 4chan a good entry point into anything anymore?

>>14383388
No, there isn't.

Videogames and far right politics

There's a reason why those astronauts wore their own watches under the suits. They wanted good watches with them in space and were forced to use omega shitters whose crystals popped out
>omemega

>>14383421
I'm not sure what they actually used the speedies for. The guys who's crystal popped out said he didn't look at the watch for the entire eva so he didn't notice the missing crystal until after he got back inside.

>>14383431
I can only imagine government contracts and money being involved

>>14383347
I had this for a while. It wasnt too bad. The usual entry level swiss gig, but had rock solid build quality. Only thing is that it had solid links and integrated bracelet yet still managed to pull hair somehow.

Is this the best cheapo analogue watch? I love the proportions and the truly minimalist design. Unlike all the other cheap "minimalist" watches that are way too big and have a faux rose gold color or watches that have too busy designs without the finishing and attention to detail to pull it off.

>>14383447
Did the asymmetrical lume bother you

>>14383456

/lit/ and /mu/ have some useful wikis

is the casio a158 the same size as the f91w?

Okay lads, suggest me a first watch.

Budget: maximum of around $100, preferably less

Watch type: I don't know. Important thing is that it is okay to wear in casual settings. I'm a student so not many "formal" occasions where I wear anything fancier than some chinos and a nice shirt or w/e.

Desired bracelet: Anything leather or metal. I prefer leather but anything goes.

Wrist size: ~~16mm, maybe a bit more. 38mm watch preferred as a result.

>>14383502
f91w or a158

>>14383502
>Wrist size: ~~16mm,
hmm

>rolex bad. Japanese grand seiko good

>>14383357
>Aquaracer
enjoy your overpriced shitter

>>14383502
Any Seiko 5 if you want automatic. Casio if you want more features or prefer quartz.

>>14383527
They're both good but rolex charge double what the watch is worth so the self indulgent wieners who buy them can dickwave about how much money they wasted.

>>14383536
Rolex needs the money to support their masonic world schem... i mean, the Hans Wildorf Foundation.

>>14383536
But it's worth every single penny.

IMO they're not. They've offered basically the same products since the 60's but the prices increase is so much higher than inflation it's ridiculous. All they've done for decades is rest on their laurels and market, market market.

>>14383502
AP Royal Oak.

Seiko Bottlecap

>>14383627
So what is according to you a watch that is worth every single penny?

>>14383664
I'd put zenith ahead of rolex. They're actually doing research and innovating while rolex sit on their fat ass and cruise along on their accomplishments from over 60 years ago.

“Non looser thread” features the most chadcore grownteen Watch, the speedmaster , loved by men who want to flirt with other men.

>>14383683
wow

>>14383685
looser?

>>14383657
those things are perhaps the most hideous watches i've ever seen

>>14383689
For the price of a sub, essentially the same tired old watch from the 1950's you can get a dual movement 1/100 sec zenith chrono. I'm sure as shit not getting a sub when I want to piss away 8-10k.

>>14383353
High end watches aren’t meant to be cheap they are meant to be luxury. If you want someone close but more budget friendly basically your options are vintage or Frédérique Constant.

>>14383704
Too bad Zenith watches look like shite

>>14383709
I think the datejust looks like shit. Guess what? looks are subjective.

Anyone ever bought a fake on DHgate etc? I'm thinking of getting a Fifty Fathoms off there just to try it. No snobbery please, you're not impressing anyone.

Great deal.

>>14383720
It's more stunning inside than out. Like I said 1/100 sec chronograph with a separate movement and power reserve

>>14383732
Movements are only a small percentage of what makes a watch attractive to wear

>>14383729
Hurr durr I'm so fucking rich I have a rolex (poorfags can't afford one lol) but I care about things like resale value and servicing costs.

>>14383729
you're in a general that think buying laco for its history is a good idea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FFqd6W-y2c

>>14383719
Just buy a genuine watch that you can actually afford. A seiko or vostok or whatever.

>>14383305
Love my speedy

>>14383757
based chink speedy

>>14383752
I have some relatively respectible real watches, but I don't want to spend >10k right now. What's so bad about a fake? Interested if anyone has tried one and how it turned out.

>>14383775
They're shit. Watches are good because of attention to detail, chinks dont have attention to detail.

Buy a Rolex, Patek, Vostok or AP instead.

>>14383708
Tell that to the millions of Sub and Daytona clones.

>>14383915
More analysis:
Solid end links,
Screwed links,
Winding is smooth,
Unscrewing crown is a bit stiff,
Lume is pretty weak compared with Seiko,
Bezel is stiff but hoping it will loosen,
Caseback is way better than Rolex,
Size is perfect.

>>14383965
It’s a homage to the Kermit, not the hulk.

>>14384166
I follow /wt/.

>>14384097
girls and normies dig this brand

but i wouldnt get this particular model

>>14384184
noone said you should pay thousands for rolex if you cannot really afford it, but buying some other watch looking exactly same is just pathetic

I have a Casio MTP 1239 and goddamit this watch is so fucking great.
Costs virtually nothing yet looks better than 99.99% of watches out there, is light as fuck and pretty much indestructible.
I got the blue cadrant wich gives it such a luxurious looks people think I'm rocking a Breitling or something.
It goes with everything and I don't have to worry about it
Highly recommend 9/10

>>14384210
>people think I'm rocking a Breitling or something
kek, sure they do

>>14384210
it looks nice for a $150 watch, but as soon as people read the "casio", they lose respect

>>14384184
he's not even in the club. he's protecting the brand imagine of a watch he doesn't own and can't even afford

>>14384218
respectfully, I can't remember the last time I got close enough to definitively read the brand on another person's watch

>>14384175
if I wanted a rolex homage i'd just get an invicta

>>14384219
yes I can't and it doesn't make these homage copies and less disgusting
pair it with android chink phone with iphone design

>>14384168
Non-loser watches: Speedmaster (went to the moon)
Loser watches: Daytona (worn by brand whores and virgins)

>>14384216
Okay maybe I exaggerated a little bit haha but it definitely does not look cheap from far away
>>14384216
It costs 30$ kek

>>14384234
Speedmaster. For the Chad who wants to be like every other chad and have the same things and suck the same cocks.

btw why don't you faggots call zara sneakers a homage to balenciaga but copying design instead?

>>14384249
If you think Rolex doesn't fit your description exactly then you're the problem

Can we all agree Vacheron Constantin is the superior watch brand?

>>14384295
Yes

>>14384279
Look just because your bitter at being broke doesn’t mean you have to rage post your jealousy all over the room. Keep your boner for other men in your pants dude.

>>14384295

>>14384295
what does this image have to do with vacheron at all?

>>14384003
Fucking lmao is that real

>>14384308
I would pick a Speedmaster over any Rolex any day.
Do you people truly believe that people only buy Rolex to flex and show off? Has the thought never occurred to you that some people just like Omegas more and buy what they like and don't care what people think?

>>14384348
Like 500$ watches? Like Seikos?
I don’t know you tell me.

>>14384348
People by Rolex's because a Rolex will make a girl (or trap) suck your dick.

The only thing a Speedy does is it makes your mom replace your urine bottles.

>>14384348
Feel free to enjoy the speedy just quit trying to flex “oh look at my moon watch, they took this to the moon. Fuck mah dudes it’s speedy Saturday, it’s speedy Tuesday, look at this it went to the moon! Did I mention this badass watch is like the ones that went to the moon. I don’t care if I can’t afford a Rolex I don’t want one, I just want to suck on some of that dick.”

I honestly prefer the planet ocean to the submariner, is that a bad thing?

Get out.

I visited an authorized Rolex dealer today and put a full retail deposit on a Z Blue Milgauss today. By putting down a full deposit I am #2 on the waiting list for this watch. I inquired about models like the Hulk Sub and Batman GMT and was told that in both cases there were three other people with full retail deposits, so I'd likely be looking at a 2-3 year wait.

Anyone out there with any experience being waitlisted by a Rolex AD? I'm excited for my watch to come in, but I'm not exactly holding my breath for it to show up soon.

>>14384517
>Milgauss
Why would you put a deposit down a nasty, vicious fucking shitter?

Is the Eta powemetric80 reliable movement? I heard it's kind of shit for servicing.

>>14384555
>Eta powemetric80
Shitter.

>>14384555
>one of the versions has a plastic escapement
Also there are a number of posts discussing the powermatic, just look around here >>14232332

does one always have to jump through hoops to buy a luxury watch? isn't the whole point of having a shit-ton of money is that you can get what you want when you want it no questions asked?

I realized I cant afford a truly nice watch and it would look stupid on me anyways given my current financial situation. However I still want something to wear for special occasions (I have a shitter for work).
I dont want to go for classic looks like a Bambino because that just feels like the poor mans version of the real thing. Instead I would like to embrace it and get a true meme watch that is not trying to copy luxory. Maybe something a bit ugly, 24 hour dial, or just a bit weird or funny.
Any suggestions?

>>14384561
>These issues *could* present problems in the long term, and particularly when the movements are serviced. That said, a Swatch Group watchmaker would likely just replace the whole escapement if they had a problem.
Thanks for the info.
Well damn, it losses the whole point of a rugged cheap movement easy to service.
I think I'm gonna pass on this bad boy even though it's half priced.

>>14384568
Read that back to yourself. Aloud. You could have done anything, said anything. But you chose to say... That.
Go have a nice long think about this

>>14384582
In reality, this should not put you off. Swatch provide free postage for repairs and have fixed rate pricing. Replacing an escapement is highly unlikely to be needed for decades and these watches hold their accuracy well. Even if it does eventually need doing, it's no different than replacing any other part in any other watch at service time.

>>14384588
Sorry, thats just my thought process at the moment. The alternative is just not buying a watch at all at the moment.
>>14384594
thanks, I'll check em

>>14384517
I buy my watches from a local AD, know the reps well and Im a pretty VIP customer with them. What do you want to know about ADs?

Gentlemen, is you could choose between her...

>>14384568

>>14384620

...or her. Who would you choose and why?
>>14384625
Stop this silly meme, she is clearly a
>her

>>14384620
>>14384628
Honestly she looks pretty mediocre, not homely or cute at all, just a generic thot.

I'd take the Losertona, flip it, buy a Speedy and spend the rest on a Hulk.

>>14384621
I dont trust any watch dealer in my area to be able to repair a vintage soviet watch but I have looked at their modern ones. This one is kinda interesting, altough Im not sure how this chunky fucker would look like on me.

>>14384561
So, just buy the "Chronometer" version and you are fine. Fair enough.

>>14384665
It still has all the other problems the powermatic has, just not the plastic escapement.

>>14384565
Depends on the watch and how good an AD client you are, half of the point for major buyers is the exclusivity and the fact that any dude with cash can’t just roll up and buy whatever they want

>>14384620
That looks like Rashida Jones
The Daytona all day

Can I get a few recommendations for fake Rolexes between $200-600? I don't care to buy a real one, I just want a watch that looks cool, and I'm happy to take the 90% savings.

I like the Daytona, and I know there is the noob v2, but it's actually a little bit too good. I would prefer something cheaper.

>>14384620
Im so lonely Id take any thot desu

>>14384643
Who needs it to be repaired? just let it run +/-5 minutes a day. You're getting it for the looks anyways

Anon who works at that jewelry shop in NJ, does your boss still work on 214s?
Or does he just not read emails?

>>14384599
Idk looks like a nice watch. Most watches except for patek are shutters anyway

>>14384700
Thats true, I dont need the watch for its accuracy. I just heard stories from people whose similar watches stopped running altogether after a few months which would be pretty shit.

>>14384668
What are the other problems?

>>14384632
This but without speedy. Fuck speedies.

>>14384757
Try reading the thread linked to in that post you quoted.

can somebody tell me how it works, buying a rolex daytona?

as i understand, they're usually sold out. is it ever possible to just walk in to an authorised dealer and find one? or would that be unrealistic?

also, if you buy one from an authorised dealer, does that mean you automatically can flip it for $6k profit, or do some AD's charge more?

can i just call the shop and ask if they have it or is that bad form?

>>14383738
How do you think I got rich in the first place? By being ignorant to the concepts of secondary costs or return-on-investment?

>>14384693
I'd recommend going on craigshipp.com

>>14384767
You might get lucky in random smaller towns or airport dealers where there isn’t the same amount of clients on a waiting list. Most often if you go into a dealer (assuming you’re not a client) they’ll put you on a multi-year waitlist or just not put you on the list at all. If you’re able to buy it, you’d pay retail - ADs don’t mark up unless they’re shady or running a pre-owned business. In theory you could just flip it and get a quick profit, but Rolex hates it and punishes dealers that have too many flippers, so unless you’re already a “known quantity” to the dealer they often won’t bother putting you on a list in the first place

>>14384814
are explorer 1s also really difficult to get?

>>14384819
I haven’t seen any sitting in display for any of the dealers I’ve visited recently, but I don’t think it’s as difficult as GMT / Daytona / Sub.

>>14384620
Judging by the film grain and the look of that swimsuit she's probably old enough to be my mom by now, so I'd go with the Daytona, which ages a lot better.

Also, I'd rather see her in whatever that tanline came from. Low rise > high cut.

>>14384835
She is 20. But fair enough.

>>14384867
Oh, is it just a modern photo with an '80s/'90s-style swimsuit and a filter to make it look like old film? (Or actually shot on film?) That makes it harder.

>>14384814
What about in a large city in Russia?

1. Would it be possible to find?

2. Would retail in Russia be higher than retail in the US?

>small seconds

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THIS LOOKS GOOD???

>>14384895
You're objectively an idiot if you don't think that watch looks good.

>>14384901
Small seconds never looks good.

Fact.

>>14384902
Your small dick never looks good.

Fag.

>>14384895
Because people have tastes that are not the same as yours. Truly amazing, I know.

>>14384835
Low rise is gay.

>>14384892
Retail price is standardized for regional currency (although it’s not always exact). I think most dealers also adjust for taxation so you’re paying the same total regardless of country, but I’m not 100% certain on that

I couldn’t tell you about the availability in Russia, my experience is in North America and developed Asian countries (HK / Singapore)

Are there any pieces that look like this omega tourbillon that aren't completely unobtanium? Specifically the 12-9-3 numerals, applied indices, leaf hands & large seconds subdial? There are some omegas from the 40s on chrono24 that come close but there's always some detail that's different.

Closest modern piece that I can think of is the Simplicity, but then it's unobtanium.

omega is shit buddy the brand is propped up on nothing but marketing. the only notoriety is from celebrity endorsements (see: james bond movies), and ""going to the moon"". I guess you don't want to mention how the backup watch was a pos bulova, which also passed those eXtrEme!! testing standards, or how the ""certified space watch"" literally failed in space as the crystal popped out the phukin watch. rolex has actual chops, they are:

1. the first watch to earn a chronometer certification
2. the first functioning waterproof watch (speedy hasn't done that yet to date)
3. the first automatic winding watch
4. the first watch with a phukin date function
5.first watch with a gmt function
6. AND first watch with a day and date function

everybody knows rolex. so much in fact that the most replicated watch in the world is rolex watches. ask any joe schmoe on the street to think of a "watch" and they will likely think of a datejust.

omega simply cannot compete at this level, it's a phuking scam of a company, riding on the coattails of superior luxury watch brands

>>14384945
Christ that's beautiful. And I don't usually care about Omega.
>tourbillon
How much this cost?
>>14384948
Very nice.

Look at JLC. They're general very classic and simple. Some of the best designs out there in my opinion.

>>14384959
Not to mention they are basically the bitch brand of swatch, not even allowed to stand on their own. I’m surprised they have become the fuckboy brand.

>>14384961
>How much this cost?
It's a one off prototype of the very first wristwatch tourbillon (from 1947), so it sold for over 1.4 million CHF.

https://watchesbysjx.com/2017/11/the-first-tourbillon-wristwatch-ever-and-its-an-omega-circa-1947.html

>>14384959
Despite this being true I can appreciate what Omega has done for the industry of watch making.

>>14384973
That's pretty rad.
Too bad they don't release an homage or some shit, same look, but normal mech.
I'd buy it.

>>14384961
The JLCs are very nice pieces, but it's not close enough. Really just trying to find a piece that's almost exactly like that tourbillon, since it was based off a regular model that was available at the time. Pic related is quite close, but still not quite there (not to mention the dial being beat to shit).

Gonna be pricey.

>>14384994

I have this JLC, one of my favorites. Really clean dial which makes the moon phase stand out (vs being just one of multiple complications in a calendar piece). This picture doesn’t truly do it justice

>>14384620
>>14384628

the rolex, it won't abandon me

I got the stainless steel g shock square today

>>14384961
JLC = massive meme.

>>14385002
Not bad, but now there's another watch in the mix for my next purchase. Fuck.
>>14385006
Post some pics? This was the front runner for my next purchase, but I feel like it's way to dressy to really ever wear. Same with the Omega above actual.
I work in a super casual office and with out a dress shirt I feel they'll look dumb.

I was leaning to this.

>>14385019
You're a fucking idiot hahaha.
What do you wear? And favorite watch/brand?

why is omega a meme? is it actually a meme? am I going to be a cuck if I buy a seamaster?

>>14385053
Omegas won't get girls on your dick.

That's why it's a meme.

>>14385053
It's overpriced, but so is Rolex.
Their lower end stuff is shit and not even in house.
Their good stuff is fine, but like I said overpriced. People just like hating on them.

You kind of have to divide Omega into 2 parts, the shit their parent company Swatch (a trash company) touches and their in house real watches.

>>14385056
I find it hard to believe that rolexes will either. I feel like that's a big /wt/ meme

>>14385067
It all is.
Literally no one fucking cares about your watch.
Buy whatever you like, unless it's trash and you're not getting ripped off.

>>14385053
Seamaster no, even Normies recognize a Bond watch

Speedmaster yes , it is a meme that will get dudes to blow you

>>14385067
False.

The second I started wearing my new Rolex I had thots (and traps) on top of my dick non-stop.

>>14385059
So their in house ones (cal. 8900 for example) is fine? I don't want to regret the watch because of being bullied for it being shit. I like it though and also like the ubiquity of the store locations for servicing and such.

>>14385070
Absolutely this.

>>14385070
>Literally no one fucking cares about your watch.
>Buy whatever you like, unless it's trash and you're not getting ripped off.
agreed

and if it's <$500, it doesn't even matter if it's trash or not as long as you like it

>>14385110
So if I buy a $5000 Louis Vutton Smart Watch it's OK?

>>14385120
No, it's both trash and a ripoff.

>>14385120
that's trash that costs more than $500

>boxers literally falling apart from age
>rip off hem and wrap around wrist
Bead poster btfo

>>14385074
Yeah, it's a good movement.
You'll get bullied anyway, no matter what you get though.
What watch specifically are you thinking of?

>>14385110
> <$500 get anything
Have to disagree here. If it's got a gimmick, like you really want a stupid wood watch, ok go for it.
But if you're buying a Fossil or a DW or something, you're being a bad consumer.

MAN ON THE FUCKING MOON

>>14385190
nice invicta homage

>>14385198
Thank you my friend. :)

We all joked when this was first announced it looked like some cheap fashion watch, but now the aesthetic has slightly grown on me I browsed around for similar aesthetics but found nothing. Is it more unique than everyone thought?

>>14385247
>audemars piGAY

no, its shit

>>14385247
I like the case shape, not much else

Fuck, it's so close.

https://www.bachmann-scher.de/sold-watches/omega-vintage-jumbo-gentleman-watch-stainless-steel-bj-1950-6313.html

>>14385350
Beautiful, that vintage? How much did it sell for?

>>14385365
From 1950, no idea how much it sold for though. My guess is anywhere from 2k-4k.

When will Omega make the bracelet from this shitter purchasable separately so it can be fitted to a proper Speedmaster?

Is it worth buying from chrono24 to save $2k on a watch, if it's from one of their "authorized sellers"? I've heard people say it's a bad idea but also I'm not sure what the risk is.

Are there any good fliegers?
Stowa - great dial with no logo but ugly dressy case and open caseback.
IWC - huge ugly logo, shitty case.
Fortis - ugly logo, useless day-date complication.
Laco - just shit.

>>14385567
I like the GO B-dial, but you probably wont like the logo.

>>14385531

Christ, all the basedmaster has only gotten more cringey. Pig disgusting.

>>14385594
Kill yourself.

Why is there another thread that was just started? What's the point of posting in a watch thread if you're going to seethe over no one liking your shit poorfag watches

will an omega boutique give me a discount?

>>14385567
You are missing Aristo, they are the best in terms of quality/price

>>14385581
The logo of Glashütte is patrician af.

Is the Invicta Prodiver 7045 any good?

Honest opinons of Rado watches? I think the Captain Cook looks great. I know they're mostly ETA movements but they're 2k or less so I'd expect it

>>14385688
more than likely yes, you have to be ready to walk out if they don't because people aren't on waiting lists for an omega

>>14385706
Of the captain cook was £1000 I’d be tempted. It just seems overpriced and it’s perhaps too small.

>>14385706
Calling Cock looks fun, it's not worth more than $800 though.

>>14385719
They have it in anywhere from 37mm to 45mm
The one I like is 42mm. Pic related

>>14385617
No maxicase, no ceramic and no rehaut.

8/10.

>>14385734
It's also a fucking shitter.

>>14385747
Well spending £8k on a real one is truly retarded.
How is it a shitter?

>>14385785
>being poor
>thinking a fucking rado is a hulk homage
>honestly thinking your SHITTER is on the quality level of rowlecks

Just shut the fuck up, have sex then kys.

>>14385795
Cringe, have sex.

>>14385807
Have sex

>>14385785
>8k
I wish lmao

>>14385795
Paying thousands for a Rolex for “muh quality” when a £300 fake is indistinguishable in the hand to all but the best watchmakers.

It’s absurd.

Got a cheap Ebay lightbox. Now to properly photograph shitters for sale.

>>14385727
>””””diver””””
>100 m
>Captain Cuck

>>14385849
>£300 fake is indistinguishable
Imagine actually thinking this.

>>14385866
I'm not defending rado by any means, they are just overpriced chink bait but to dive 100m is not an easy task.
A recreational diver will have to train and learn a lot of stuff even to go below 66 meters.
So that depth rating is perfectly fine, rado knows it's customers nobody will dive in it.

>>14385869
You underestimate fakes.
Rolexes aren’t even hard to fake. The rehaut took like 6 months to replicate perfectly.

>>14385247

In a decade or so, I think people will start to appreciate it more. It's not that bad, really. People complaining about the plastic rehaut will have no problem wearing an Aquanaut on a rubber strap and paying a few hundred for that strap.

>>14385247
Have you tried Fossil, Armani and Boss?

Post some girls with hairy arms wearing watches.

>>14385883
There's plenty of comparisons out there and they are finished like shitters.

https://youtu.be/upAJE_XhT2Y

Unless you dont care about quality and just want something that looks the same they're shit.

Find a flaw... pro tip, you can't

>>14385916
It's not an Omega Speedmaster.

>>14385916
No shock protection.

>>14385909
Only a retard would buy a chronograph replica.

Try this:
https://youtu.be/P_ZTqC2Yxxs

Bear in mind fakes are getting better and better. In 10 years it’s gonna be impossible to tell.

>>14385931
That video is basically a great advert for buying a fake. Where to cop?

>>14385943
I wish I could do it but it gets confiscated by customs, only people who have dealers in their country can do it.

>>14385947
I got a fake from Spain to U.K. where are you?

The worst thing about fakes is that they’re hard to sell when you get bored of it and hard to fix or service when they start acting up.

>>14385931
Watch finder uses soft lighting in all of their vids which is forgiving to shit finishing.

https://youtu.be/_1idZQu_fqI

It's obvious in the real world a fake is a fake.

Go buy a shitter fake, take it into an AD and ask to try on the real thing, they'll look the same but the differences will be obvious.

If you cant afford the real thing you're better off spending $1000-$2000 on some shitter, like other anon says at least you can sell and service it.

>>14385960
I feel like I wouldn't be as chuffed with a fake as I would with a real.

>see nice watch
>it's only available in titanium

>>14385960
He literally says the brushing is nicer on the fake.

These watches have a $10,000 difference in them. Think about that.

>>14385971
What's wrong with titanium?
Im new to watches

>>14385851
Based. Mine is on the way, but get a few stands too.

>>14385999
Its lightweight and looks like shit, wearing it makes you a fag.

>>14386006
What case is that? I just ordered a 670 with a white dial.

>>14385999
It scratches more easily.

>>14385960
why couldn't you sell a fake? just looked on my local classifieds, there were 9 fake daytonas and one real one. well, maybe it's real. who knows.

does anyone have the watch tier meme?

>>14385923
He said " find a flaw" not "find a pro".

i want to get a longines military heritage watch. does anyone know if there is a replica of this one? seems like a very simple watch to duplicate

What's the deal with the recent increase in shitposting fake watches recently?

>>14386074
>The Longines Military Watch will be available in the second half of 2018 for a price of CHF 2,000, which feels more than fair given all of the attention to detail to be found in this watch.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>14386025
120 maybe

>>14386084
More like $800.

>>14386006
How do you like the 120? I have a 420 which I like and i ordered a 670 like the other dude but it might be a bit big for me lug2lug. Still thinking of using a 160 case to name a shitter homage to a sar rescue timer kek

>>14386248
Get 710 if you want small lug to lug. Pic not related.

>>14385567
what's so bad about Laco?

update
got the a158 and I love it, it's the perfect size and design

>>14386294
Nice watch. Yeah I know the 710 is probably the size I need but i dont really like the look of it :( i was hoping the 120 was a more refined version of the 420

>>14386387
It's more "typical watch" shaped but it seems nice. Shame about 710, it's great.

>>14386248
>>14386294
>>14386387
Ministry/710 and 420 are the smaller sizes though the 670 isn't that much bigger.

IMO if you put it on a nato strap you should be fine.

>>14386298
They’re affordable so people here like to shit on it for no raisins.

What Casio watch is recommended for durability, looking good, and preferably long lasting? Budget up to around $100 but prefer something worth the bang for buck. Extra points if battery lasts forever or is solar

>>14386424
Oh and must be waterproof please

>>14386302
Update

I still make more money than everyone in this general combined.

>>14386428
That the 420? That face would look nice if it wasn't for the retarded date.
>>14386408
>>14386398
Thx bros I'll try it out. Maybe I just need to see the 710 in person but 2 boctoks is enough for now

>>14386428
buy me a hulk, faggot

>>14386470
>That the 420?
Yes (blaze it).

>>14386476
No, Rolex wont sell me one.

>>14386484
Buy me a JLC MUT moon, faggot

>>14386485
No, it's a shitter.

>>14386487
You're alright Tudorfaggot, you're alright.

>>14386428
Which one is that? I'm not seeing a 420 with that dial at all

>>14386490
Looks like some shitter Aliexpress special that's $10 and advertised with stoch photos and bad English.

>>14386496
It's a fully custom made exclusive luxury timepiece, it has a white gold case, custom dial and platinum hands. Not just anyone can buy them, I had it commissioned when I visited the Vostok factory last year.

>>14386498
Stock photos*

Is Tudorfaggot, dare I say it, our guy?

>>14386502
You think you're so hilarious and it's so cringy. I can only imagine what it would be like to be you

>>14386516
kys you fucking subhuman poorfaggot, t

>>14386518
>>14386518
>>14386518

How did i do guys?

>>14386938
Yikes

>>14386387
710, black scuba dude dial, Seiko bezel mod, £1 Aliexpress rubber strap is the peak Boctok.

>>14386424
Square G-Shock.
