Casio f-201 is the best inexpensive digital beater watch; better than the f-91.

An issue I'm faced with (opinions appreciated):

Ordered a Sinn 903 St, a watch I have wanted for years (No, not because I couldn't afford a Navitimer). My absolute grail is a Speedmaster Professional, but I currently do not have the funds. Now that I am "just" about a thousand bucks short of a Speedmaster I kind of start to regret ordering the Sinn.

Should I just wait and save up more to be able to afford my grail or enjoy a watch I also love very much, right now? It's not that I see the Sinn as a substitute or anything, just the thought that I am (relatively) close to being able to get one.

Sorry for the 200 word essay.

Thanks for your input.

>> No.14391526

>>14391447
Just wait. It’s only worth selling a watch if you really dislike it for some reason, or never wear it. Big picture it doesn’t matter if you get the Speedy now or in a year, you’ll probably keep it the rest of your life. Trust me you really really shouldn’t sell watches to fund other watches (unless all you own are shitters) because you’ll take a bath financially and probably regret getting rid of pieces later.

I dont quite know what I want. Id like to spend about 200 bucks, but be willing to go up to 300 or more if I really like it. The problem is most budget recommendations feel very reddit to me. Getting a SKX or Vostock triggers my contrarianism, they are probably fine but just to normie. What would be the 4chan version of a budget watch?

- normies think it looks cool
- comes with a leather strap and milanese bracelet. both have quick release springbars

neutral
- looks like an apple watch

cons
- its a cheap chinese watch

People ignorant about rolex think that at first, but when you look into the technical qualities of the watches they make it shows that to not be true. There's the silicon balance spring, balance bridge, etc. When rolex isn't making a watch expensive just because it has gems or precious metals they're actually very well made at their pricepoint. That's not to say you're not paying some brand tax, but that applies to all the 'luxury' watchmakers these days. But it's not just fluff without any merit to back it up. That all said there's some valid criticism to make of the company itself, what with the artificial scarcity & waiting list bullshit they're doing more and more.

Rolex is indeed for dumb non-"watch guys", in that sense that rich people who don't care or know anything will buy Rolex because they know "Rolex" is the well known luxury brand with status to wear on their wrist.
But Rolex is also for watch guys. Because Rolex produces great watches that are respected by the watch community.

The obvious cheaper alternative that is on par (or rival if you will) would be Omega. Whether you want an Omega or a Rolex depends on what you like. Omega watches (most of them) are more daring in design and finish, while Rolex is more conservative with designs that has not changed much.

Critics of Omega will say that Omega is a bit too daring in the design department, changing the looks of their watches too much and producing too many variants of each watch and also special editions. An example would be all the speedmaster special editions. On the bright side: Omega produces many versions of one watch which increases the chance of someone finding one version that falls to their liking.

Critics of Rolex will say that Rolex has gotten lazy, even taken a step back with the finishing, an example would be that they don't even make bevels on their cases anymore which makes their cases the dullest in the business. On the bright side: They get to be the non-nonsensical brand where you know exactly what you get, and with high resale values because they stay pretty much the same even tho yours is 10 years old.

I don't know if the analogy fits.
Omega is obviously Coca Cola since they are the older brand, but in the real world Coca Cola is still "on top" while Pepsi is not doing as well.
If using this analogy we would imagine an alternative world, in which Coca Cola had made a wrong turn some years ago, trying out a new flavour that was an unsuccessful long term strategy. Pepsi did not and got ahead by staying true to their flavour. Then Coca Cola stopped with the silly new flavour and started producing quality coca cola again, but now faces off with a stronger Pepsi because Pepsi has done so well with marketing over the years.

You should be aware that luxury watches (like most luxury goods) are mostly bought by people who wouldn’t care whether something is 15% on sale.

Yeah, of course. I know the "enthusiast" market is smaller that the casual bling market. My point is the luxury watch market is actually pretty soft right now that you can find most non rolex at a discount.

It's never gonna be not huge. They don't make them small.
There's a legibility issue with chronos, especially if you throw in day/date. It doesn't make much sense to put all of that in 38mm.

>> No.14397426

>>14397372
The speedy is honestly one of the smallest chronos. Remember that it's 40mm only if you ignore the crownguard. You have el primero which is smaller, but not with a black dial as far as I know.

I'm just talking about a "normal" 40-42ish size, nothing too exceptional.

For example, Marathon is way too big, and the Bulova quartz one is too big, but the Speedy is still fine.

They look almost exactly like some Sinn models but without the brand recognition, what's even the difference?

I would have a 35mm watch probably if I bought one and those lugs should be ok, on orion for example they are 44.5mm lug to lug, with a curve, so it should not overhang or anything.

You dislike it just because a known youtuber will make money off of it? I think you need therapy. If it wasn't him who made money off of our purchase, it would be someone else. It really doesn't matter to you as a consumer if the product is good and the price is fair, which it absolutely is.
