i'm pretty sure that's the back of the watch.

This is my shitter. Fuck the snobs.

>>14403770
the rotor's guilloche is nice, but the rest of the movement's finishing is ugly as fuck, and offers no texture or depth
perlage is a meme that needs to fuck off and die already

>Featuring precise automatic Seiko Instruments movements, both versions are set to come with FFVII-embossed rotors in tow, which will be visible from the all-glass back panels. The main difference, meanwhile, is presented in the form of subtle design elements – where Cloud’s iteration sports a mirror finish stainless steel case, Materia-inspired blue sapphire glass crown, and a 3D Cloudy Wolf emblem, the antagonist’s version boasts an alternate black-coated stainless steel case, an onyx crown, and a 3D One-Winged Angel emblem.

Nah

>>14404258
Probably. The nostalgia boat will never sink.

I wish they had bezel/dial colors for SKX013 other than black . . .

Hey, I'm just getting in to horology in general. I've got a cute little Bambino as my first watch and I'm thinking of getting something a little bit more upscale this summer. I was recommended to get a C. Ward C60, and I really do love the design... mostly.

Reading up online, a lot of people are criticizing the logo, the location of the brand name, etc. Saying it lookd too much like a 'fashion watch' trap brand. The watch otherwise has stellar reviews, using a Sellita SW200-1 movement, water resistant up to 600m, generally great build quality, and all for under USD$1000... But still, it has the spectre of 'TRENDY FASHION WATCH' haunting its design.

What are your opinions on this? The opinions of this community?

>>14404362
I don’t dislike the design at all for the price point. The logo is a sore point for a lot of people...I’m not a fan but obviously that’s totally subjective. It would be very hard for me to drop almost $1k on one though when Seiko makes so many desirable divers in that range. But if you’re looking at micro brands, you could do a lot worse than CW.

>>14404362
>mostly

Nope, buy what you really want!

>>14403538
How on earth did they come to the desicion of not having quickset date? I mean really, that's extraordinarily weird. You would think that ANY watch producer would make their watches with quickset, or at lest a good alternative like some of the co-axials that Omega uses with the jumping hour hand. If you really have to move the hands around like you described, that's actually very annoying...

How often do you clean your nylon watch straps?
Mine was smelling like rot so I took the strap off to wash it and the soap foam turned a strong green color, the strap is black.

I probably haven't washed it in 3 years.

>>14404362
Show the watch you would buy if money wasn't an issue. I assume it's a diver
Oh and don't spend a grand on a Seiko

>>14404442

what the fuck, it's nylon, throw it away and get a fresh one

>>14404442
I think you need to wash your body first

>>14404362
CW makes quality watches for that price point. Whether you like the logo or not is your business. And if there are people on the internet comparing it to fashion watches, then so what... in the real world most people will only see a very nice watch, even complimenting it when you show it to them.

Anyway, there are MANY watches out there. If you're not sure about this watch, you'll find another. But if you ask me, the C60 is a pretty diver.

Tudor is gay as fuck.

>>14404474
Nope

>>14404430
Yeah it is quite annoying which is why I recommend people get the manual wind only if they don’t want a date window or if they’ll be wearing it every day or two. Automatic is the way to go with the date window. Maybe it’s because they place a lot of pride on the size of their movements. The DUW 4101 is only 2.8mm tall.

>>14404490
Does it take a lot of space to include quickset on a movement?
Problem with getting a manual one is that most of those still uses alpha without their swing system. Maybe waiting a year or something is the way to go with Nomos. But I'm expecting a price jump soon and that's not good.

>>14404502
>Does it take a lot of space to include quickset on a movement?
I have no idea, it was just a wild guess as to why they would exclude it. Another explanation is that they hold a patent on their date mechanism and maybe they constructed it in such a way that it’s difficult to make a quick set mechanism for whatever reason.
>Problem with getting a manual one is that most of those still uses alpha without their swing system.
Yeah, you’re limited to the DUW 4301 if you’re after a manual wind with no date and with their escapement. The Tangente ref 172 has it though - 35mm, power reserve, no date.

>>14404502
>>14404549
If there's any reason to not include a quickset date, it would be that you couldn't potentially damage it by changing the date between 9:00-3:00. I'd take not being able to change date in that time range over not having quickset though.

>>14404730
You looked at Zeppelin?

>>14404736
I wish I could wear a Zeppelin but I'm fat so the jokes would be too obvious.

>>14404778

>>14404778
What jokes???

>>14404795
The first part of "Zeppelin" kind of sounds like "zippo", which is a phat lighter, so they associate "Zeppelin" with being fat.

>>14404815
My niBBa

>>14404815
With Rolex having such basic finishing and being largely machine-produced, I can't help thinking the only reason to buy one is the brand.

>>14404830
yet everyone as in people in the industry all marvel at their quality and perfectionism. no one cares what some irrelevant nerd with a sarb thinks

>>14404842
>everyone as in people in the industry all marvel at their quality and perfectionism
Build quality, sure.
But nobody marvels at their craftsmanship, finishing, etc.
They're largely machine made, to a higher extent than pretty much any mechanical watch out there.

Also, printing flaws and misaligned chapter rings for instance are more the rule than the exception.

>>14404847
exception, not the rule. people using fakes to claim the build isn't generally perfect are just anti rolex autits
the finishing part is true but people in this general don't appreciate patek's finishing and the work that tier of watch has anyway

>>14404851
>exception, not the rule
Look at any good macro and half the time you see printing flaws.
Like those watchfinder vids. I bet the majority of Rolexes in those have flawed printing.

>the finishing part is true but people in this general don't appreciate patek's finishing
I was talking more about external finishing.
Even Tudors at least have a more "elaborate" finishing since they still have case bevels.

And Patek's finishing isn't all that great either, pic related.
Though it pains me to say it since their new weekly calendar (with what looks like a handwritten dial font) is one of my ultimate grails.

Rolexes do have some god-tier designs.

>>14404857
patek saves their best finishing for their high end stuff which isn't right considering the cost but it's still miles above the rest and the demand for the brand is much higher than it was

I do have a question though, what watches are "too much" for certain economic brackets?

>>14404889
Rolex/Omega is entry level if you want to be a "watch guy", if you just want to be a random guy with a watch then it literally doesn't matter, buy what you like the look of.

>>14404895
The thing is a $1000 dollar watch is a big deal where I'm from and people do notice and as much as I like watches I also don't want to people to think I'm flaunting. So again I'm back to just putting my money to the bank

>>14404907
>The thing is a $1000 dollar watch is a big deal where I'm from and people do notice
No they don't, it doesn't have a price tag on it dude. Normies DON'T KNOW ANY BRANDS EXCEPT ROLEX, not a single one. Ask them and see. Like, go outside right now, ask 10 people to name you 5 good watch brands, come back with results.

>>14404885
That thing is hideous, never post it again

To the random shmuck yes, it's a different thing when it comes to family and friends, their opnions matter to me because they get really curious about my stuff

Good morning to all of you young gentries

>>14404874
Which Oris? I have a couple and they're very nice for the money.

>>14404362
They are great watches, the only question is, can you stand with the incredibly pretentious, annoying brand? The name of another man slathered on your watch?

>>14405008
>Christopher
>Ward

>>14405008
>The name of another man slathered on your watch?
This is a good point, but that's half of the brands. I guess Rolex wins that one too.

>>14405016
No you don't understand my point. Christopher ward is just some dude who designs watches and gets them manufactured, that's literally all he is. Yet here he is boasting his own fucking name on every one of his watch dials like he's achieved something great.

What anyone else would have done is come up with an alternate branding that is far more attractive, fuck, even just 'ward' would have been fine.

>>14404908
>>14404935
Breh. Even people who know rolex usually don't know how much they cost. Seriously.
I live in a 3rd world country, so I get that you don't want to be flashy, but these days, normie watches a HUGE and flashy anyways. Like Invicta shit. So just fucking buy it and be careful where/when you wear them. My mom knows I bought an Omega and was nosy about it, I asked her how much does she think it cost, she said us$500.

>>14404707
Those rep vintage daytonas with seagull handwound movement looks kinda sweet though. Would you recommend those?

Also: I got the rolex bug, fuck. I've always swore I'll never get one, but goddamit, I want a polar explorer. Is there a way to buy rolex without feeling like you're getting fucked in the ass?

>>14405023
Every one of us was just some dude in the start grashopper. It is only when we did bought the first Rolex that when we become the WATCH dude.

nothing wrong with christopher ward and don't listen to hurr cuck wearing another man's name autist. I don't care for how it looks myself but I'm sure they'll get it right eventually >chr ward was far far worse looking

Orient Neo 70s "panda".

I kind of want one of those ff7 chronos. FF7 was bad ass and it's pretty rare for tie in merch to have a quality mechanical movement, much less a chrono.

Thoughts on the turqoise dial Datejust? I think it looks really good. Eyecatching and fun. But maybe I'd get sick of it.

>>14405130
But what are we talking about? A hobby, fashion, estetics, horology or finance?

Burgers' obsesion with money is so disgusting...

>>14405140
If you are a girl...

>>14404549

or maybe they are just barely capable of manufacturing movements in the first place and date quicksets are too hard for them to do on a large scale

>>14405141
>value retention is bad
what's disgusting is poorfags pretending they aren't

>>14405143
I'm a 31 year old man. I already have black, dark blue, and grey dial watches, I want something light blue.

I want a IWC pilot with blue dial.
Is it possible to find that at sub 4k?

When your pretend Rolex has a more interesting than a real one that costs 20 times the price.

>>14404978
65 diver, the bronze or the black with broze on the side of the bezel.
Absolute beauty for me

>>14405164
I don't like the combo light shade of blue and the fluted bezel. But if you like it, go for it. At least it's kinda different than what everyone is wearing.

>>14405164
How about the light blue nomos? Somehow I think a "fun" watch like that can be with a fun brand too, instead of buying a rolex with that dial.

>>14405186
I love these Orises.
Anyone here got a bronze watch? How is the patina thing working out?

>>14405140
How bout these?

>>14405162

value retention isn't bad. it's just meaningless. if you think you are "investing" when you buy a watch then you are fuckin brain damaged

>>14405227
Shit, wrong pic.

>>14405233
I like the look of Zodiacs but they are stupid overpriced for what they are. Also I think the Super Seawold is like 48mm or something.

>>14405229
I mean for the really high end it's feasable but I can't imagine it working for other segments of watch collecting, also you're right if you're on /wt/ talking about watches as an investment then you are deluded.
>>14405216
>>14404978
The Black bezel with broze looks great too

>>14405152
>or maybe they are just barely capable of manufacturing movements in the first place and date quicksets are too hard for them to do on a large scale
They produce an automatic movement with a quick set date. It’s just the manuals that don’t have it. If they can make their own escapements and a worldtimer movement, I’m pretty sure they could figure out how to add a quick set date to a simple three hand movement if they wanted to.

>>14405263

let's not go crazy here. they can barely cobble together central seconds and most of the hands they drive are gossamer-thin. there are clearly some real technical problems at nomos

>>14405235
Yeah, my bad. If you're looking at a datejust, a zodiac diver is probably not on the list.

>>14405243
Man. I've stopped myself from pulling the trigger on the 65 like three times already.
How bout the bronze cases though? I haven't seen many pics of the patina over time IRL.

This is ridiculous, I can't find a Sinn watch that's 90% perfect (100% would be with a tachymeter too) anywhere in the recent lineups.

Basically I want this:

>>14405275
Have you looked at Heuer Autavia? They're huge and the minutes subdial is marked for 2.5 minutes. If you can live with that, they're decent.

>>14405274
I haven't seen the patina irl too but the bronze just looks gorgeous. Definitely a very good watch but like I said and similar to you I keep stopping myself from pulling the trigger for some reason

>For the money Steinhart are GREAT watches

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. You give no specifics or evidence whatsoever, you’re just using vague adjectives with no meaning. You know that building your own escapement in house is a massive achievement in the watchmaking world...right? My watch has a 2.8mm tall movement and is +2 s/d after over a year of ownership. I can discuss specifics with you but I’m fairly certain you don’t actually know anything about the brand, or watchmaking in general.

FYI Philippe Dufour recommended Nomos as his watch of choice below $10k, but I’m sure you know better than him when it comes to quality and watch movements. But please enlighten me and Mr. Dufour on the “real technical problems” at Nomos.

That watch is so damn sexy

sup /fa/ I thought I would share my new purchase

I'm absolutely in love with this 18 carat, rose gold TAG Heuer Carrera watch purchased from the beautiful city of Perth. Made with sapphire infused glass that only diamond can scratch, I've spoiled myself with this gorgeous timepiece. The calibre 16 movement has been crowned as the most successful automatic chronograph movement ever produced, completely handmade by man. It is also my very first day date watch and it will be interesting to see if it becomes an important feature that Will depend on over time. I hope you all enjoy this watch as much as I do.

Ayyyy my watch niggas, how it hangin?
I've never been into male jewelry, but I could really use a wristwatch with a quick access stopwatch option right about now.
It's best if it comes in black and is digital & rather cheap. I was looking at some casios, but as far as I understand the stopwatch function takes a shit ton of button presses to get to, and I need something quicker.

Can someone toss some suggestions at me, or perhaps a good wiki-type site with good search options?

>>14405337

not really. it's difficult, but it's not a major achievement. people have been building fucking lever escapements for centuries

>>14405266

Nothing in the watch world is hard or equatable to REAL engineering like creating a sportscar that can drive 400km/h. That is real engineering. But in the watch world there are those who care enough to do a little more effort than others when they produce watches. And when that happens we are impressed, not really because we believe someone made some technological advancement, but because we love getting good watches. Anyone who cares enough can make movements, just look at christopher ward. Everyone can make movements that are +-2 seconds/d too, it's not really a technological feat if someone does. What I wish was that the watch industry cared enough to push their movements down to +- 1 second per day, or even less, like Omega once did. But I guess nobody NEED great movements anymore so they don't. I'd like that tho.

>>14405379

the nomos faggot shows its true colours: it was always a dick-measuring contest. next you'll be demanding receipts and comparing prices. this is what i have reduced you to

why does anyone ever buy a tudor instead of a rolex?

if you can afford a $3000 watch, you can also afford the $5000 watch brand you actually wanted

>>14405384
Embarrassing. Yet another ignorant poorfag acting as if he knows the first thing about watches. I’m richer than you btw so the dick measuring contest is irrelevant.

>>14405140
If you have a ton of watches it's cool. As a main watch I would give it a pass.

New 'supreme' nato from crown & buckle... not particularly impressed. The finishing is really tight and crisp on the metal parts and the fabric has a pleasant texture but putting it on/taking it off the watch causes significant fraying of the vertical weaving along the edges which has to be fixed with a lighter

Got a new watch on Monday but I'm scared to use it or take the stickers off in case theres anything wrong with it. What's the procedure for checking a new watch is okay before accepting it?

>>14405443

I also have a few of those and I never wear them. They're not as thick or as stiff as the crazy Blushark ones (and I like the hardware better) but I think they are still too thick, and they definitely do fray if you look at them wrong. Out of their offerings the "premium NATO" line is the way to go.

>>14405386
Submariner is small and has too busy of a face and too many polished parts for me, they don't do a diver without shiny bits... that includes hour marker edges, bezel etc. I'm definitely looking at Rolex for a daily watch such as the explorer I, though.

>>14405445
What brand? You should be fine to take off the stickers. Most reputable brands come with a pretty generous warranty (typically 1-2 yrs) to address any issues you might have. If you bought it from a microbrand or something then I have no idea, but I would still expect them to take it back and repair it for free even without the stickers.

Me neither lol, sorry but mechanicals are more of my cup of tea. Don't know much about digitals :/ Get an Apple watch and fuck endless thots I guess.

Curv chronograph with fullsized sweeping seconds hand when?

Bros.... auction is tomorrow, wish me luck. I'll report from inside tomorrow.

>>14405503

for a g-shock, i would look at one of the original square style cases (e.g. DW-5600, GW-5000, GMW-B5000). these are likely smaller than the huge g-shocks you're recalling. but be warned that these will still require a few button presses to reach the chronograph mode, so it's probably not what you're wanting

This is mine, how good you rate it fa?

>>14405503
>My jam is mil insp, tech wear-y, terrorcore-y on a budget, if that's any help.

Just search for Citizen chronographs. They make a million different ones, and are decent enough imo.. Can't beat their prices, especially concerning regular Quartz watches. Their more recent models typically come with Eco-Drice Drive movements, meaning solar powered. Will run indefinitely, with about 5 months reserve if you put it in a dark drawer on full charge..

Pic is mine, AN3600-59L.. the part behind the dash refers to the blue version. There are also some other colors, and an AN3602 variant I find particularly ugly and doesn't come with bracelets.. Generally speaking ALWAYS go for a bracelet if it's an option, especially at the higher end, because straps and bands are easy to get (and often better from third parties anyway) while original bracelets with fitting end links can be expensive and painful to find.

>>14405381
>Anyone who cares enough can make movements, just look at christopher ward

Aren't they the guys who have ETA or Selllita movements depending on what the market price for them was, so that you didn't know what was in it until you looked at the papers?

>>14405537
>Multifunction

>>14405546
They've made in-house now.

>>14405537

Why are you wearing it so far up on your arm?

>DW-5600
I gotta say, this one in black/black looks pretty nice, despite being a little loltacticool.

>>14405538
Not feeling it, dawg. Thanks, though.

I like it.

>>14405559
It’s at the right height, maybe not the right arm.

>>14405584
I regret writing that post the moment after it was posted because I then realized I saw that arm being upside down.

Was anyone able to watch the Timex that was incorrectly priced on Amazon for $7 a few hours ago

>>14405546
They tell you what they use and it's usually Sellita SW200. They have an in house SH21 now but people need to stop thinking in house is better than ETA. Hardly true unless it's in house from Rolex/JLC/Patek and established watchmakers

Just arrived!

Side question: should any jewelry store be able to resize the bracelet? I dont have a screwdriver small enough.

>>14405565
If you dont want to be "scrolling" through menus or you need to be able to start the chrono instantly, you need an analog chronograph.

As people already said, check Citizens or Seikos, Lorus, Orient or analog Casios.

Pic related, a 50€ Casio.

>>14405565

>not feeling

If you're looking at digital: F91W requires 3 button presses to start the stopwatch (left, left, right), which is pretty quick. If you want immediate access to the stopwatch, you can't beat an analog chronograph with pushers though..

>>14405603
This.

For that stuff an old Seiko cal. 7T"whatever" like mine would work just fine.

Thinking about buying this for my gf for her birthday next week.
Opinions?

>>14405601
Yes but I wouldn't trust anyone but a watchmaker to not scratch shit up with the tool
I'd do it myself if I were you

>>14405615
Pretty nice actually.

>>14404885
>something worthwhile
>travel
Pick one.

>>14405601
Yep, most should do and they'll charge like 10-15 bucks for it

I have a Seiko 5 with a leather strap but want a watch with a metal one. I don't mind spending up to £100, but would it also be viable to buy another Seiko 5 with a metal strap? Or would that be too redundant?

I don't like fabric straps at all but what's the consensus on formal/casual for different strap types?

I don't think I'll ever be a "watch guy" (unless I inherit obscene amounts of money) but at the same time I'd rather wear no watch than a watch I didn't like.

>>14405602
>>14405603
Thanks, boys. I think I have all the info I need at this point. Gonna browse around and see what I decide on.

>>14405632
Bear in mind that shitty/cheap metal bracelets are horrible, uncomfy etc. With the notable excepcion of some cheap casio digitals'.

>>14405616
dont have the tools, and I'm not so sure I'll do better than a jeweler who has been doing this for a job lol

>>14405666
I hadn't actually considered that the strap will also be cheap... I was just thinking of the actual watch.

Is that to say you don't recommend them at all, or just that I should be familiar with it before buying?

really want a 38mm el primero tricolour lads, the one where the the hour dial is underneath the seconds and minutes.

>>14405615
Get the a158, it is better than that

>>14405682
Check it before buying at least. And maybe take a look at some mesh/milanese.

>>14405632
Just buy a good metal bracelet, wtf

>>14405632
>viable to buy another Seiko 5 with a metal strap?

Seiko 5 bracelets are shit. I bought my SNK on the bracelet, but a literal Aliexpress bracelet is better. HENGRC isn't too terrible, I'm sure there are more.

>>14405682
Just make sure it's a solid link bracelet at least.

Opinions on pic related? I want me some decent kraut watch in this style but some keep saying to avoid it because of japanese movement they use. Checked out stowa, archimedes, steinhart but they're considerably more expensive and don't offer this type in blue version as far as i know.

>>14405753
laco is fine

>>14405386
Tudor has that one watch, red and black accents.
Rolex doesn't have anything with that color scheme. That would literally be the only Tudor I would buy.

>>14405386
I wouldn't buy a sub over a BB58 even if they were both $3.5k to be honest. For one thing the sub doesn't have bevels on the lugs, nor do the top of the lugs have radial brushing. Both are things rolex used to do but not anymore.

>>14405386
Because wearing a rolex is embarrassing.

>>14405808
>>14405811
>all this cope

>>14405811
Not even a Rolexfag, but you're embarrassing.

>>14405823
I'm just stating my opinion m8. I prefer the BB58 to a sub, even if they were the same price. Here you can see an old sub which has the same angled brushing and beveling on the lugs.

>>14405834
Now compare it to a new sub. Straight brushing, no bevel.

>>14405834
I love the bb58 but claiming you'd not take the rolex if the price was the same is just straight cope

>>14405841
I don't like the sub, and I wouldn't take one over a bb58 even if it was the same damn price. It may shock you but other people don't have the same taste as you do.

>>14405838
This looks liek shit compared with >>14405834

>>14405331
>where can i get one of these
based

redpill me on longines

is it entry level haute horlogerie or michael kors-tier mall "luxury"?

>>14405896
It's why I prefer the bb58, it's closer to what rolex used to be. Still a lot of text on the dial but then the original sub the tudor is based on also had a lot of text so whatever.

got it adjusted. finally a watch I like on my chicken wrist

>>14405903
honestly prefer the way sterile dial $99 sub knock offs on eBay look to the real sub, if I ever get a real one I want to buy a second dial and have someone nicely black it out and keep the orig one around just in case I want to sell it. Their dial text is degenerate

>>14405900
They're in that entry level bracket where you don't get in house movements, but you pay more than you really should for watches with ETA based movements.

Are us watch guys onions?

>>14405916
I can understand that. Guess I'm lucky that the dial text doesn't really bother me.

>>14405934
i admit i am autistic about that, 100 years ago when gold case watches and swiss movements were popular lots of very rich people would order "bespoke" watches with blank dials because it was considered pretentious to flaunt logos. Some of the most valuable watches from back then are sterile

>>14405912
Good for you, fellow Semenmaster owner. Mine is shittier but more fashionable...

Full meme pic.

>>14405933
co-axial is shit brah

>>14405948
this is objectively false. you can hate omega for their design and >muh moon but the movements are not bad in their bracket

>>14405948
You are a decade late. Those were the first co-axials, that were just like the Daniels thing slammed over i think a chronometer grade eta 2892.

>>14405959
Do the new ones finally not need a microscopic amount of oil on the escapement teeth so it doesn't eat itself or what?

>>14405965
Not quite. The level of amplification required is quite usual for other watches too.

>>14405991
So it's still just more hassle without much real benefit? Am I missing something here? The whole point of the co-axial originally was that it shouldn't need lubrication (which is true of the daniels & roger smith ones last I checked).

>>14405959
>>14405950
expensive to be serviced, cannot be serviced outside (((official))) omega shops, use unusual parts, no objective benefit

none

>>14405999

>>14406016
My service cost is only 550 at an official omega. And that's every 10 years. Substantially less than >rolex

>>14405999
it doesnt need servicing as often, because of the 3 teeth vs 2 teeth and less lubrication. that's the only benefit I've found, but it works for me (10 years vs 5 at some other companies)

>>14406069
10y is perfect, since youd better check the gaskets every once in a while anyway.

Let's see if /wt/ can actually be useful.

Going on holiday soon and need a new watch. Already have a nice dressy Swiss automatic for evening and general wear but will be in the water a lot. So, need a nice diver or watch that can cope with water sports/snorkeling. Smaller preffered 36-38mm. Quartz, rubber strap, thin profile, stylish. Less than 500 bucks.

>>14406089
Whatever the quartz equivalent to the SKX013 is.

>>14406102
Ok then, since you kindly requested that here you have it.

>>14406084
These Rolex shills are something else. The omega hatred in /wt/ is wholly uncalled for.

I have a few Rolex and couple other nice watches already. One Casio as a beater.

I find myself looking at watches like Basedko baby monster or baby Tuna, citizen Eco drive diver and Gshocks. Am I wasting my time with cheap watches or could they still be enjoyed alongside luxury pieces?

>>14406132
They are just another Bandwagon Cult.

>>14406135
They are almost imposible to enjoy anon. May be you could enjoy one or two as beaters or for specific purpouses (actually diving or watersports...), but generally not worth it.

>>14406135
There's no rule that you can't enjoy cheaper watches m8. Mayer kinda touches upon that in here:

>>14405688
Errr they are a nice watch but service is a nightmare, always something broke, springs need replaced. Just buy a speedy they are bullet proof.

>>14406132
They can't afford a Rolex not to mind Omega. Omega make outstanding watches. You'll find it's 2 guy shit posting about Omega and they have 3 Seikos.

HOLY FUCK, gorgeous.

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(E.g.: the discord) but this, seriously

>Have you looked at Heuer Autavia? They're huge and the minutes subdial is marked for 2.5 minutes. If you can live with that, they're decent.
