Thoughts?

Sometimes I think this is all a waste of valuable time and money.

I cant tell if I love or hate it. It's very empty, but that's clearly a design choice.

Thoughts?

I watched an archie luxury video for the first time last night. LMAO, wtf. Bogpill me on this greasy cunt, guys.

>>14406571

>>14405293
>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.
I looked at the Carrera, I ignored Autavia because do I really need a watch that's basically called Autismo.

Imagine if it was Omega's, it would be Omega Autismo.

That said, I'm still looking for the perfect tool chrono, halp! See >>14405275

>>14406608

>>14406612
Breh, he wanted a Sinn. That aint gonna cut it. That said, it's a beautiful peice.

>>14406608
I'm the guy who suggested the Autavia. My advice:
-Take your time in buying your "perfect" watch
-In the mean time, get a compromise piece. Buy one from a mainstream/reputable brand. One that would be easy to flip, preferably gray market/used.

>>14406612
>white dial
>no separate tachymeter/timer bezel
>really weird indices
This Guinand has the following faults:
>really weird cut off numerals
>empty space below the date, Sinn has the little "Ar" circle there which fits really well and fills it
>no tachymeter at all
>wtf is Guinand

I also like this Carrera despite the somewhat mall watch aesthetics, but it has fucking Fangio on the back instead of the autism window.

Does anyone else fucking HATE tachymeters? What's the point? Just divide into 3600 in your head, it's much more accurate and not even hard.

Tachymeters are unsymmetric and useless. They also give a false "estimate" time between the listed markers, when in fact they make it HARDER to know the rep rate for non-standard intervals, since it's a nonlinear process. They're also a sign of small brains. Prove me wrong.

>>14406627
Post your favorite chrono without a tachymeter then.

Can't? Thought so.

>>14406527
get it, since it's cheap

>>14406627
Hate? No I’m not retarded. The same thing could be said about GMT and you’re still all wet about them.

>>14406646
Horrible comparison. A GMT requires constantly remembering what your time zone is. Math for a tachymeter never changed

I'm starting to dig what Steinhart are doing for the price of course

>>14406661
Looks like a great present for your nephew on his Bar Mitzvah, he's still young enough to appreciate the toy-like aesthetics, but it actually has a real watch mechanism inside that he can learn to handle, so he can graduate to a Rolex when he graduates high school.

>>14406677
I did say for the price, lets not pretend you own a real Rolex

>implies any watch that isn't a rolex is for children

>>14406603

>>14406664
It's harder to remember the temporary number corresponding to your area code (especially in very unusual locations) than it is simple math. This is inarguable

>>14406646
>>14406655
GMT is by far the dumbest complication.
Check this - gmt watch with 24 hour hands for each timezone, how useful!

>>14406693
Not what I implied at all. There are many watches above Rolex too.

>>14406495
Narrow-handed '57 Omega Speedmaster.

The all-silver bezel makes me feel that '50s Space/Atomic age aesthetic.

>>14406712
Looks good except the bezel and date and no third subdial.

Thoughts on the Lorus lumibrite?

Thank god I got this. Now my watch purchasing itch is gone for the near future.

Gonna be buying blancpain fifty fathoms next

>>14406608
I personally like Sinn. They use a lot of ETA movements, so if you don't mind that (which you shouldn't IMO) then they're great watches.

Having said that...... Rolex blows everything else out of the water when it comes to quality. Ive owned watches from many different companies, and my Rolex just exudes quality like no other. The precision to which they're made is clearly evident when you get one on your wrist.

>>14406685
Love the bezel, looks very cybersteampunky. I'd put it on a hat.

Will we ever see a resurgence of pocket watches? And it so, in what context?

My guess is they will be seen as "ultra luxury" because they take up a pocket space, which implies you dont need that space for wallet/phone/keys for whatever reason.

However I can also see them dying out entirely

You downloaded the Google image preview. Every retard including me does it.

The watch looks like any other mall shitter and I expect it to cost more because of the name. Dont get it unless money is literally no object.

>>14406823
7.3k. can get it for 2.5 brand new. still a no?

>>14406825
I wouldnt pay more than 750 for it. Are you new to watches? We can recommend you a better one.

First rule of thumb is avoid big fashion names because they tend to ignore watchmaking in favor of aesthetics. In this case the aesthetics aren't even super great imo

>>14406825
Also, if you can get it brand new for that much discount, that should be a big red flag

>>14406751
Crop the image before uploading

>>14406825
No. That watch was never worth that much, this is the same kind of shit Invicta do. For 2.5k you can buy a very nice watch

>>14406823
FYI Chanel produces their own movements now.

>>14406828
I reduced image size, but cropping does the trick? Is that a 4chan(nel) quirk?

>>14406826
Don't know anything about watches. I can only name like 2 brands on top of my head that's Rolex and Omega. Recommendations would be awesome

Is there a good replica of a 36mm Rolex datejust? Prefreably with nothing on the dial? So far I can only fine one by Parnis that still has branding on the dial.

>>14406831
Yeah but the watch industry is slow to accept newcomers. plus it doesn't help this movement layout looks exactly like every ETA chrono?

I'm not surprised, but definitely disappointed.

>>14406860
I made the comment mostly in reference to the aesthetics and the fact that big name brand watches (see: Michael Kors) tend to all be the same. Not that Its an actual mall watch, it might have a great movement. It just doesn't look like it.

>>14406859
I've already joined the antiROLEX squad, see >>14406747

>>14406860
you don't magically become a respectable watch brand, chanel is shit just not as shit as armani

>>14406869
I'm not saying it's just as shit. However it's hard to even put it on par with brands that use ETA movements like Sinn or entry IWC. I think Chanel could be a great brand if they made their own groove. Like if they did a >montblanc Minerva type movement, where they put a HH movement in a modernized case. they'd kill it since they're already huge

although Chanel is kill

>>14406833
Just get a Speedy then. No one can name any brands except Rolex (and Omega if they're American), and all sub-Rolex watches are shit for kids.

globemaster. thoughts?

>>14406872
Chanel still uses enamel in many of their top dollar watches. Just go to their website and do some cursory research and you’ll their HH work which is quite impressive. They have a watch with their in-house movement, retrograde minutes, jumping hour, and gold enamel sculpting. Not as impressive as a grand complication but still a charming throwback to old school watchmakers.

Snobby watch enthusiasts give them a hard time because they only recently started in-house production of movements. They did the same with Cartier. What the watch snobs don’t get is that these brands have so much money that they can get fairly up to speed in a short amount of time. Cartier went from being relentlessly mocked to being praised to high heaven in around a decade for their watchmaking. The same thing could happen for Chanel if they continue to invest so heavily.

>>14406921
I'm not discounting Chanel, I'm just saying they should give a reason to be considered in the world of watchmaking. Up to now, they haven't, despite what you might like about them. Its increasingly hard to bust into the market unless you do something new.

>>14406918
Circular only for me honestly. Not a fan of most modern Omegas. Speedmaster is another example of a model abandoning stepped dials.

>>14406928
I was almost going to get the globemaster (I have a datejust too) but the hands and color scheme actually turned me off. I still think the dial is a selling point but this particular model needs to fix their hands

I will literally give my nudes away (21 yo male) for someone to buy me this watch. I'll meet you in person. I'll suck you off once/twice if that's what it takes.

>>14406924
>I'm not discounting Chanel, I'm just saying they should give a reason to be considered in the world of watchmaking.
If you have any appreciation of the difficulties in working with real enamel you’ll agree that this alone puts their high end offerings above the average manufacturer. Additionally they acquired a 20% stake in FP Journe a few months ago so I expect there to be some crossover.

I don’t know what you mean when you say they need to do something new. The enamel and gemstone work they do on the dials of the Mademoiselle Privé collection is utterly stunning and only rivaled by extremely niche and high end brands like Jaquet Droz.

I’m really not a Chanel fanboy. I don’t own a Chanel watch and will probably never buy one, I’m not a fan of a lot of their design elements. However, it seems absurd for people to baselessly criticize them when they are releasing literal works of art in their HH department.

>>14406947
FP Journe did something new when they entered the market.

JD did as well, although the name continued years past. The "new" company continued to honor that name.

Does Chanel have a 100+ year name in watchmaking like Jaquet Droz? No. Do they have a wholly new movement/dial style that, like it or hate it, FP Journe has? No.

I am not hating on Chanel. However, buying a good watchmaking company and slapping your name on it, instructing it to do something "high whorology" and then claiming it's actually so? Not the case.

I really want more companies to enter the game, however they need to make a mark for themselves. For example, nomos. I don't personally like the brand, but they almost perfected the modern bauhaus design in watches, while using an in-house DEVELOPED (see: not purchased or outsourced) movement, they created their own market.

Enamel and gemstone work is not enough to enter this industry; you have to make timepieces. If Chanel charged 25k for an Italian-designed Minerva-based watch, I would probably donate an organ for it.

still would never buy a chanel watch, but I just took at their site and it seems like theyre on the right track. With some time and more traditional releases I could see them becoming a more well respected brand.

I do think alot of their non HH pieces look pretty mall watch aesthetically.

>>14407017
So do minute and second hands but they end up misaligned too on most watches?

Blue watches are for manchildren who listen to Coldplay and watch marvel films.
Prove me wrong.

>>14407052
No they don’t. Minute hands will always rotate 6° with every full rotation of the second hand.

>>14407054
you're thinking of a style of watch, not a color. blue is very casual (most of the time). however you are probably thinking of the apple™ watch.

>>14407061
I get that that's how it's supposed to go, but on all the watches I've had if you line up the second hand at the 12 and the minute hand on a minute marker, the minute hand wont be aligned perfectly with the markers when the second hand strikes 12 later on in the day.

Trash, throw it in the garbage or give it to the guy who shines your shoes.

Why are TAGs considered shit?

why the fuck everything i want discontinued though

>>14407130
Sometime around 2008 or so they stopped making every good looking watch and started putting at least one or two flaws in every design.

>>14407141
This is the best dumb conspiracy I have ever read.

>>14407141
It was well before that. Is a consecuence of market segmentation. They will on purpouse make the watches of lesser brands of the same conglomerate have flaws so they dont outshine their top tier shit.

>>14407128
Because they are good

>>14407143
But its true. Not only in watches but in everything; most brands belong to big conglomerates that establish tiers for their products so they can justify diferent pricing and control a bigger share of the market.

>>14407149
And they obviously start with their best product down. Not improving the best (only introducing dubious "improvements" decided by the Marketing Department to create hype), but making the rest worse.

>>14406722

>>14407189
Because wt can't afford anything except fake rolexes.

Absolute noob here

Why are divers so popular outside of the immensely limited application of diving? You’re paying for functionality you’ll never need.

>>14407200
Because they look pretty neat my dude.

>>14407200
They seem to be built to handle rugged use. Usually offer some sort of clasp adjustment and high water resistance. Things that are handy despite using them for diving. Also the bezel makes a great timer. I use it daily for cooking or laundry etc.

They can usually take some abuse. So lots of worry free wear. Traditional watches have leather straps and you can't really wash your hands or sweat in them so their uses are limited.

>>14407200
Because Rolex Submariner is the most popular watch in the world, so it trickles down.

>>14407205
No it's not.

>>14407209
Shut the fuck up retard.

>>14407200
In terms of mechanical watches, it's a sure fire way to get a rugged watch that is water resistant enough for at least swimming. Because going back a few decades, it is not a given that a watch will be water resistant at all. Like people would take off their watches before washing their hands or stepping out on the rain.
There are obviously other tool watches that are (relatively) rugged, like field watches for instance. But for the lay person, the option was a dive watch or a dressy watch that couldn't get moist.

>>14407209
What do you imagine it is? Just ask anyone on the street to tell you a watch.

None of that shit matters, the Speedmaster went to the moon, name another watch that can say the same?

>>14408062
Bulova moonwatch and rolex gmt

I needed parts for a customer's Seiko 7T32 quartz chronograph, but a lot of new parts are already extinct. So I bid on a busted up one on Yahoo.jp to use it as a donor. It arrived today and it's almost not worth tearing apart. With a new crystal, a movement service, dial feet replacement, an ultrasonic cleaning and a little light buffing it could be restored into a pretty nice piece.

But meh, I'll gut it anyway, and hold on to it, till I bump into an ugly 7T series and use that to replace the parts I take out of this one.

Also the 7T is complete disposable shit compared to the 7A. The pins that hold the plates together are made of plastic, so they break, so because of that new parts are already dried up. Also most gears are nylon, plates are plastic and assembly is complicated compared to the piss-simple 7A. But when it works it's not a bad watch.

>>14408065
It's kind of annoying that omega continue to claim that the speedy is the only watch worn on the moon when that's a straight up lie.

>>14408073
I like my 7T; but you have just sold me into buying a 7A too.

>>14408073
>the 7T is complete disposable shit compared to the 7A
good to know. Are you the guy that claims the 7a is still the best quartz seiko chrono movement?

>>14408090
I don't know if I ever claimed that, but I wouldn't disagree until someone posts something better. I've serviced my own 7A28, and it is indeed a very well built, and well designed quartz chronograph movement.

Maybe Seiko has something better now maybe in the upper-mid range to Grand Seiko, but the reality is I wouldn't know, since those movements are restricted to Seiko service centers, so unless I ever buy one for myself and take it apart, I can't tell.

>>14408065
No one cares.

>>14408102
People who aren't marketing brainwashed npcs care.

Friday is finally here guys and gals, any plans for the weekend? I hope the week was pleasant, and that you all have a fantastic weekend wearing a watch that you love.

>>14408086
Eh.

I'd still rather get a VK63 movement over any 7T series.

>>14408116
But how do you feel about 70's king seikos

Here's an unusual piece. The engraving dates the watch to between 1993 to 96.

The watch gears and shit only the case back are only the reflection of the case on my phone.

>>14408121
a watch from best korea? What is it?

>>14408120
I already had a few 52XX's by now and they are getting harder to service nowdays.

Meaning parts, not the servicing itself.

>>14408121
Other than that it's a pretty unremarkable quartz shitter.

Other engraved-back watch I get for battery changes is an old man's Orient VX that was given to him in 86 from the minister of interior as a colonel in the People's Army.

>>14408128
I find the 70's sci-fi aesthetic with the crazy markers and faceted crystals cool as fuck. you HAD a few as in you got rid of them?

>>14408125
No, capitalist pig Korea. Best Korea severed ties in 1988 when they got mad we picked up diplomatic relations with the South during the Seoul Olympics.

>>14408046
Why can't I find a used one with a display case back?

Are these hands familiar, /wt/?

>>14408137
Depends on how you look at it, first one was 5206 that couldn't swap the date (only via quickset). Will post in a sec.

Pic related was bought as a parts watch and i got it running after giving it a small cleaning since the movement was gunky. Sold for double what i paid.

The green i posted earlier has a polished case and replacement acrylic crystal, and the guy that bought it from me is selling it on fleabay using my pictures and almost my exact same description though asking more.

>>14408147
kek

The cheap chink radioactive green puke lume is always an eyesore.

>>14408154
And movement of said watch.

>>14408116
that's not a quartz is it?
i'm also seeing the vk61 is better than the 63?

>>14408183
>that's not a quartz is it?

I'm not sure i follow.

>>14408202
looked it up online and it says quartz but from the pic it looks mechanical

>>14408204
You mean the VK63 or my picture?

The VK63 or VK61 and the rest of the movement family are mecaquartz movements. Quartz movement in general but the chronograph ticks like a mechanical chronograph.

>>14408210
I assumed the pic you posted is the vk63 because of your post

>>14408249
>Confusing a 1940's bumper automatic movement with a a modern quartz chrono.

There are fake 20$ casios and fakes of that watch specifically, the only brainlet here is you.

>>14406677
First off, you're a complete dick. 2nd, Rolex is the ultimate plebe watch for the nouveau riche or fuckers who come into spare change.And for the record, rich people get a Rolex while wealthy people get a Patek or a number of other wonderful brands / houses with a long history.

>>14406495
That's one ugly watch. What the fuck is up with the candy crystals.

>>14406834
There's millions out there. I think Seiko made that looked like one, I don't know.
Don't listen to the other jew shill fuck. If you're not into rolex, that's your choice.

Is it considered a major faux pas to use only one watch keeper loop? Bought a new strap to replace this shitty nato band and with the new strap it isn't really long enough for a second keeper to really do anything.

>>14407767
What's wrong with VC? They make some drop dead gorgeous watches. Is it the lack of the Rolex crown that turn you off?

Dumbass /nowatch/ anon here. I've been looking for a cheap, tough, attractive field watch for a while now. Is the BOLDR Venture a decent choice, or is it another crummy fashion watch for edamame men?

Is there anything more painful than loving a watch that you can't actually wear because it's far too embarrassing to be seen wearing?

>>14408489
Ok, and? No one cares about what the 1% gets, Rolex is just meant to show that you're doing well in life as an everyman. It's the working class luxury watch. You'll never see the people you're talking about more than once or twice in the course of your daily life and you see people who understand what Rolex is every single day.

>>14408706
Please post your watch or collection, inb4 some seikos or a fucking datejust

>>14409194
Why because it's not a Rolex? Just wear what you like, normies won't even know what it is anyways.

All talking about rolex, very few Rolexs posted, really makes you think.

>>14407189
I know longines is a meh brand and I see you get a lot of hate but that is a nice watch, idk if I'd pay it for it. I like the heritage conquest aswell.

>want to start wearing a watch again (just wore cheapies as a kid)
>autisticly looking at watches for a week
>fall in love with SARX045
>can't imagine making myself wear it at work
I guess I should just get something lower end that I don't like as much so I actually wear the damn thing. Too bad I have such a shitty job.

>>14408414
What ref is this?

>>14409294
>>can't imagine making myself wear it at work
Because it might get scratched up at work or what?

>>14409294
What the hell are you talking about, SARX is basically the everyday smart casual beater, it's cheap as fuck and it's the lowest possible thing you can get. Most people just get it as a replacement for https://www.rolex.com/watches/oyster-perpetual.html if they have a job that sometimes takes them into third world countries and such so they leave the Rolex at home.

>>14409301
>>14409306
I'm a poorfag and also an autismo with no social life so it just seems weird to purchase something like that. I suppose if I don't and I keep saving like I am I'll just end up spending it on something else fucking dumb like a new PC though. I really don't belong on /fa/ at all, I'm just here because watches were starting to trigger my autistic tendencies.

>>14408030
oh yeah this surely changes how i feel about my patek lmao

>>14409294
>>14409321
if you can get it for 300 or 400 cool. that watch is not worth 560 600

>>14409361
So basically don't get it. I assume you say that because of the movement? Cause the finishing and bracelet looks infinitely better than the cheaper Presages we get in the States and it does have a coated sapphire crystal.

>>14409365
Why don't you get one that looks exactly like it and only costs $240? Hardlex and a 4R movement but like he said, I really wouldn't spend close to $700 that I'm seeing on some sites

>>14409377
I assume you mean the SRPB41? I'd hardly say it looks exactly the same, the bracelet looks way worse to me. I really like the brushing and hard angles on the SARX045 and the dial is a bit more understated.

>>14409383
>SRPB41
That one looks like a happy meal "dress watch" toy, it's terrible. At least SARX045 attempts to emulate a serious grown up man's watch.

>>14409383
No, but I take back what I said. The dial and bracelet are much nicer on the SARX
If the SARX is the watch you want and not something to tide you over then go for it.
This is what I meant but it's not the same upon close inspection
https://www.jomashop.com/seiko-watch-srpa29.html

>>14408596

>>14408610
Looks like TAG Heuer design, why do people hate TAG and like this? It's the same "expensive mall watch" aesthetic.

>>14409411
I don't hate Tag Heuer.

>>14409447
If only it weren't for that damn date window.

>>14409397
I wouldn't say it's something to tide me over, I can't see myself spending any more than that on a watch unless there are some serious changes. I think I'm going to go for it, what's the point in working if I don't enjoy some things, I guess.
>>14409393
I'll take that as a compliment for the sarx . . .

Hello dear friend,

very nice to hear that you're doing well. Give my regards to pop-pop and the rest of the family. Love your timepiece. Had one of them baby's back in the day of my youth, wore it on a nice green canvas strap that really made it pop. unfortunately like most things in life the Alpinist had to move on...today I just spend time with my one and only Sub. Speaking of, here's a quick shot of the luminescent dial, glows like a beaut! Keep on truckin, looking forward to seeing you in Palm Springs next month with for the golf tourney.

Why would you be embarrassed by wearing that nice breitling? I can't even begin to understand what you mean.

Guys, if you wouldn't mind looking back into your own skulls just a little, and try to think of any place online where one can purchase shorter leather straps. For example leather straps for women's wrists or just very thin wrists. Normally a strap will be something like 115 / 75 mm, but I need shorter ones.

Guys, what is your verdict on gold coloured watches?
I see alot of women with them, and I wonder if this is a mainly female gendered thing. Cause I really like gold tints personally.

>>14409990
I'm not a watch fag but I like gold watches, much less bro-ey

>>14409990
Its prentending to be something its not. If your wearing it just for fashion then its fine.

>>14410022
What else do you wear a luxury watch for? Is there another reason beyond fashion? Watchfag autism is hilarious. So glad I finally clicked on these threads today.

>>14409196
Not my point....if you're going to spend the 8K-10K for a Rolex, which is like buying a Honda Accord as they are mass produced, you'd be better suited to buy an IWC, Vacheron, Breguet, Audemar, etc.

>>14410044
Lol you can't buy a new Accord with 10k. You could get a Chevy Spark if you wanted for 10k. That's a hell of a down payment though.
