My EDC watch is a couple of years old and the polished stainless parts have dulled with fine scratching, especially on the bracelet. Is there any decent home remedy or do I just need to bite the bullet and get it polished?

>>14411675
You risk fucking up the case if you aggressively polish it.
Try brushing:

>warm skin undertone
>gold looks better than silver
>gold watches are obscenely expensive
I'm not buying fake bullshit.

>>14411679
It's too nice of a watch (nothing super high end but still a $2500 watch) to risk ruining that way, and I like the polish anyway. It doesn't need anything super aggressive, just a proper touch-up. I guess I'll just have to take it to my guy and see how much he says it'd cost.

>>14411683

titanium nitride

>>14411705
Didn't you read? He doesn't want fake bullshit! Even though tons of legit richfags don't wear solid gold watches, kek.

>>14411713

titanium nitride isn't fake gold. it is a durable protective ceramic coating for high speed tools. his post explicitly ruled out fake gold items, real gold items, and white metals. i have offered another material that has a yellow appearance while complying with all of his rules. please do not be retarded

>>14411687
>$2500
Yeah, just take it to a pro. Weird off you to even ask about diy polishing here.

>>14411717
>>14411705
You may as well use gold plating.

>>14411722
Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

>>14411736

if titanium nitride is an invalid solution solely because it has a yellow appearance, then there are no solutions to his constraint satisfaction problem at all

>>14411675
Which watch? I say leave the scratches as they are. Maybe when servicing is needed in some years more you could have it polished too...

Scratches are fine, over or badly polished watches are trash.

>>14411752
This Ball. It just doesn't look right without the mirror polish on the center links, the look and quality of the polish was one of the main things that drew me to the watch in the first place and it's nowhere near as nice without it. It's not big obvious scratches that are the issue either, more about the general fine scratching that comes from wearing it under flannel shirt and jacket cuffs and has made the polished parts look almost brushed.

>>14411666
Post watches fit for honorable men who believe in a worthy cause.

>>14411764
I remember talking to you a few threads back about getting an aqua terra for the antimagnetism. Ended up getting this, just fell in love in person.

>>14411764
Leave it as is until it need servicing anon. Its fine, dont be obsessed about minor scratches nobody else is noticing.

>>14411779
Oh nice, I like that a lot. I came really close to buying a used one (can't remember if I saw that exact model but looked at tons of Seamasters) before I got the Ball, but just couldn't pass up the price on the latter. (Which ended up being like $1,250 brand new at an AD after duty free discount and foreign Visa discount, when the same watch was selling around $2,500 at US ADs.)

>>14411787
Yeah, I'll probably just end up doing that. I ought to take a picture in daylight tomorrow so you guys can see how bad it is, though, the scratching is pretty severe. I almost feel like I may as well try some kind of light-duty DIY thing like a jeweler's cloth because I really can't see making it any worse than it already is.

>>14411792
Wanted to try on a ball per your rec but couldnt find a stocker in chicago

>>14411799
Yeah, it's tough, might actually be the single biggest issue they have as a company. I think there's only one or two ADs here in LA and they may not actually keep anything in stock either, and if they do it's probably just a handful of models. I think the only ones I'd ever seen IRL before I went to Japan were a couple of the "Ball for BMW" ones they used to make, on display at a BMW dealer.

I guess that's kind of a general problem for any of these midrange brands, though. I could take you to places that sell Pateks, APs, etc., and Omega/Roles/TAG etc. are easy, but I don't think I've ever seen a Sinn or a Marathon or Glashuette or anything like that at a stateside store either. Watch shopping in Japan is a damn revelation, walk into some of these stores and they've got just every watch you've ever heard of on display.

I bought this beauty this week.

I've fucking hated TGV for years but I'm almost starting to like him just because of how much he makes Paul and the other fake-rich watchtubers like him seethe. Am I the only one?

Comfy sunday watch.

>>14411845

yes

>>14411845
who is paul and where can I see him seething

>>14411097
>Do women really notice the difference though?
Yes.
>>14411118
>I guess the only way to win the watch game is either not to play or to be so stacked that its minimal effort for you to play since an AP is less than 1% of networth
I mean that applies to the game of life in general so good luck lol.

>>14411830
Too big

>>14411871
>women noticing anything
lel

>>14411845
I never hated tgv, and I laugh at archie for being so pathetic, he is literally obsessed about tgv. He needs therapy.
I get that he's pushing the family background a bit witch is cringy. But it doesn't bother me.

>>14411675
Not a watchfag, but I do restoration work. Why not just run 0000 steel wool over it? It's just stainless steel. If that doesn't work use a polishing wheel with rouge and it'll buff out shiny as fuck. I cant imagine paying someone for literally 2 minutes of work. How much do you pay these people? I might need to get a piece of that pie.

>>14411879
Steel wool wouldn't make it a mirror polish again. Polishing wheel with rouge would, but I'd have to buy a bench grinder and a good wheel and there's a pretty major chance of fucking things up.

>>14411887
Fucking it up as in dropping the piece and having it fly off into the nether from the wheel spinning, or as in there is a thin layer of steel?

>>14411887
Kek just send it in to a professional....

>>14411879

if you've ever wondered where overpolished vintage watches come from, now you know. you've just seen the spark light up in this guy's mind that creates them

What’s the deal with Panerai and would any of them fit my 6.5 inch wrist?
I like the aesthetic a lot.

Completed two life goals last month. Worth celebrating.

>>14411960
Go try some on dude, wtf do you want me to say?

>>14411987

>>14411996

Armenians is just inbred Turks.

I'm looking for a white dial auto GMT similar to an explorer 2 polar or picrel, budget is around 500 max. Bezel ideally steel or red/black, bonus points for not being an identical homage (different handset etc).
Any suggestions? Seems like all I can get is some chinese copy from alpha or invicta.

>>14412085
Take the invictapill anon

>>14412085
Well.

Problem is the white dial, otherwise there are a few GMT's that won't break the bank and still aren't complete chinkshit.

Boomer core is the new thing

>>14412099
Looking into it, their white dial version isn't even mechanical
>>14412102
Yeah, I just like the aesthetic too much. For some reason none of the decent GMTs at this price are in white and only start at like double my budget

Cop or not?

>>14412121
I found one with the black and red bezel but it's got a black face sooo... At least it's auto

Invicta 9403 Pro Diver Unisex Wrist Watch Stainless Steel Automatic Black Dial https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000EI8596/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kDIbDbT3HV3XH

>>14412114
>Double

Those are the prices mate, plus not a lot of people like the white dial aesthetic. Otherwise the 2893-2 powered GMT's start slightly higher than the 500$ new.

The only white dialed one i can think about is probably a Glycine Airman GMT, though they look somewhat different and cost around 650~800$.

>>14412122
This one has a silver colour though, I'm looking for a good gold watch for around 100 - 150 euro's

>>14412127
Couldn't find a black and red one in gold but I found a pepsi

https://www.jomashop.com/invicta-pro-diver-watch-29183.html?utm_source=googleproduct&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=googleproductsearch_uk&pt_source=googleads&pt_medium=cpc&pt_campaign=(ROI)+Shopping+(UK)+-+Sale+Watches+Under+$100&gclid=CjwKCAjw0ZfoBRB4EiwASUMdYfnz36rnXERzBYaSpF2IVaxNBl4LRWsDQXcGrL3tUxyOuD0v7MRWbRoCnpoQAvD_BwE

>>14412122
Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not even a GMT. It's just a diver with a coke insert. Also >>14412121 isn't me.

>>14412126
I just find it odd that I can find pretty much what I'm looking for, but never in the right colorway. You'd have thought that given the generally positive reception to the polar dial explorer that all the micro brands would be offering them too, but my options are either chinkshit or budget breaker.
At this point I might just get the alpha as a stop gap until I can find what I actaully want

>>14412135
Thanks again, but I'm >>14412085 looking for the polar GMT, >>14412121 is someone else looking for a gold diver

>>14412140
I think i've seen a few, just not currently out to be bought.

The Alphas in general aren't that bad and people usually enjoy them since you do get decent bang per buck with them.

And they aren't a straight out fucking fake Rolex, just a really non-subtle homage.

>>14412085
Get the Steinhart clone

>>14412200
I've looked at the steinhart already and while nice it's over budget. I just dont understand why their other GMTs are 500 eurobux but if I want the light dial I have to pay 900 for a premium model

Who here /swisspilled/?

>>14412248
Looks like a boring £15 watch from a petrol station

>>14412248
More like swisscucked.

i dont get how this board hates on mall watches, but then gets an entry-level omega or rolex which serve as the inspiration for most mall watches

>>14412269
Based

>>14412273
The whole concept of "mall watches" makes little sense to me. I don't know how malls are like in their countries, but if you go to a mall here you'll find AD boutiques for Rolex, Patek, Omega, Seiko, and most other well known brands like those.

I'm trying to stop buying shitters but I'm loving this new Orient. It looks perfect. Easily their besr diver yet.

>>14412299
Depends on the mall. Most malls here in my area have Seiko, Timex, Michael Kors, etc.

To get a Rolex or a PP etc, you need to go to a fancy retailer who aren't in a mall.

>>14412303
Just save up and buy a watch that isn't actually shit

>>14411845
>>14411861
>>14411874
I've been collecting (mostly cheap) watches for almost 10 years now, but only very recently started watching these youtubers. Man, it's too much. This archie dude uploads like 4 videos a day, wtf is wrong with him? Why is he so greasy? I've probably watched 10 of his videos, I've finished none of them.
I actually feel bad for him, cause it looks like he ain't got long to live, lol.
TGV is just another tryhard fedora without the fedora, I don't mind his shit.

>>14412112

Hold on to your boomer watches. The bubble is coming, I tell you.

>>14412307

>>14412307
Archie is based and he tells people how it is, don't bother with the paid watch reviews they're a waste of time.

ROWWWWLECCKKSSSSS

>>14412304
>To get a Rolex or a PP etc, you need to go to a fancy retailer who aren't in a mall.
Those retailers I talk about are indeed fancy. They have their own boutiques in the mall and they are fashioned as those boutiques would be in a normal street corner boutique, with proper double doors and so on. It's kinda the same thing with fashion brands for clothes too. They have their own Dior boutique, their own Chanel boutique, and so on. Malls are the modern shopping streets. In the future more malls will have these fancy boutiques. Of course, like you say, the bigger the mall more fancy boutiques they'll have there.

How expensive are these clasic casio digital watches and are they fa?

>>14412309
Reminds me of Salvador’s melting painting.

>>14412315
No

>>14412315
They are effay and affordable

>>14411830
Sorry mate but it's too big for your wristlet hands. You can probably still return it though if it was a week ago

>>14412313
That's a very fancy mall, then. Probably in a big wealthy city. Most malls are for cheap stores.

>>14412325
Fish eye effect for being so up close. Combine it with jealousy and we have your post

>>14411868
It's around 500 but I got it with 50% discount

>>14412343
>Jealous of a Tissot

Very funny old chap!

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

>>14412343
It's amazing how people still don't understand this effect. I have a literal 10 inch wrist and I've been called a lanklet wearing a 40mm watch due to this.

>>14412307
Archie is a lazy, bitter, and angry clown who has to pay whores for sex (after his marriage ended). He is bisexual, fucks men and shemales. He is relatively poor for being a first worlder, can't travel without begging for money, the little money he manages to scrape together he mostly spends on luxury objects like watches and women's purses which he also collects, along with porn (he collects porn too, yes that's right). He lives in a shithole house with carpet beetles, which gives him ugly marks on his skin because the carpet beetles are eating at him. He earns only about 20k australian dollars per year, equal of 14k us dollars/12k euros. He is always greasy as you say becasuse apparently he never uses shampoo, only washes his hair with water. He has actual clinical mental issues, and he is addicted to collecting expensive shit he doesn't need, and at times he's been alcoholic too.

Now, TGV is another animal. Married with some New Yorker woman. Educated in art theory, went to an art college, resulted in a bachelor degree which probably is worthless because he doesn't care enough about art to have a real career relevant to art. He is rather successful on youtube and has a cynical business mind about how he does things there. People are calling him out as "disloyal" because he ends cross-over relationships with smaller youtube channels after he either didn't need it anymore or didn't find that it did anything good for his own channel. He made about 140k us dollars in 2018 due to his channel. Lives comfortably in NYC. His youtube channel is now bought by Watchbox, and now he does videos for himself and them. His videos are known for being well produced and edited and he has a good attention to detail. He is hard working, but takes shortcuts too as shown recently with him copying the written word from another watch journalist about a timepiece he did a review of, without giving credits to said journalist.

>>14412345
Very nice.

>>14412348
I would partly agree with this, but I'm one of the few who are always kind and tries to be helpful whenever I can. I have been called "redditor" because of this, but I don't care. I will never become one of the angry shitheads.

>>14412350
Seething TGV shill

TGV only reviews and buys peasant watches such as Seikos for his PLEB fanbase. He has a ROWWWLECCKKSSSS because he knows it better than any Japanese incel made in Malaysia garbage

>>14412354
Honestly, if that's true, the watch discord would be a better fitting place for you.

City of 275k people or therabouts.

>>14412357
I agree. I'm already there tho.

I'm not a shill of any of those two. I'm simply stating facts about them.

>>14412358
wealthy then

What is he wearing?

>>14412303
The newer 42mm Kamasu is better imo.

Shame they didn't make this one in 42 as well instead of going to 44mm.

>>14412365
Yes, I guess. But this is not unique to my city, it's quite normal with malls having luxury boutiques. At least in western europe.

What do you guys think of Tim Mosser's take on what Swatch should do with Omega? Listen to it and hear for yourself.

https://youtu.be/EkAKB8cLpqs?t=1007

>>14412377
In Copenhagen, there is only one single mall that has a Rolex dealer.

>>14412389

New watch!
Going on holiday in August and needed a new beater for swimming and snorkeling as well as fishing and general beater watch tasks. Got this nice Citizen chrono. Sapphire, 200m, radio controlled. Will have to replace the leather strap with rubber but otherwise very happy with it for £200! I just hope my £1500 auto will be OK in the hotel safe...

>>14412391
Do Copenhagen have any big malls or just many small ones? Here malls usually have 150+ or even 200-300 stores in many cases. I'd say these are medium sized, I guess?

>>14412389
>>14412392
What ref is this?

>>14412410
look up timex president on ebay. theres a couple going for ~25 bucks

>>14412406
You really consider el cheapo $1.5k shitters as non-beaters? Is this a troll?

>>14412407
Biggest luxury mall in Copenhagen is Illum with around 120 stores. They have Bucherer.

>>14412418
Ok, maybe when billionaires start expanding your shopping malls, as is the trend in europe now and will happen more down the road, then you'll get more luxury stores in them too.

>>14412425
We already have Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, Brunello Cucinelli, etc. They just aren't in the mall.

>>14412437
Yeah I get it. But I mean in malls specifically.

>>14412441
Denmark doesn't really have mall culture

>>14412414
That's gbp. Yes, I consider 1.5k watches non beaters. Not made of money freind :)

>>14412383
Holy fuck, that is some of the best I've heard from a watch journalist/youtuber ever.

>>14412414
Most people consider 1.5k watches non-beaters.

>>14412483
>>14412477
Where do you live? I can't imagine a country in which anything but a Rolex would be considered a real watch. Why didn't you just save up 3 times as much and get one?

>>14412489
The UK. I earn 62k gbp at 33 which does not put me in rolex territory. Saving up for a bigger house, spend 5-7k on holidays per year, spend loads on my reef tanks and and firearms too. With a wife and kid there is only so much cash to go around! Would not consider spending 8-10k on a watch, there would always be something more important for it to go on :)

>>14412489
I live in Sweden. Watches are popular but it's mostly cheaper watches in the 100-500 range that people tend to buy, think "normies".
When you buy something above 1k people start to think of it as expensive watches.

>>14412496
>>14412499
Hahaha! Trolled epically xD

>>14412499
>above 1k

If you spend more than 100$ here it's considered expensive.

>>14412539
Not here. Where do you live?

>>14412547
Land of the desert kikes.

>>14412552
I don't know what that means

>>14412499
>>14412496
What's the point of wearing a watch if it's not even entry level though, if no one recognizes it as a luxury watch, why not just use your smartphone?

>>14412552
I know people here shit on Seiko but this is actually a very nice starter collection for a highschooler, a sporty diver for beach parties, a "big boy" watch for the debate club, and something that they can beat up while dirt biking or whatever.

>>14412558
Israel

I'm not saying the economy is 3rd world tier, but it's close. And in some areas we get Brazil tier pricing/markup.

>>14412566
How does that happen with a country full of... jews which people seem to think are the smartest people in the world when it comes to money?

What do you like about the BB58?

>>14412572
It's a mad game of everybody trying to outjew each other.

Also known as taxes everywhere, and decently high import taxes that are possible to avoid.

>>14412563
Honestly i agree.

I bought them while i was in the army, but i do want to get something a bit more nowdays. Though i don't want to spend double on a speedy or similar.

>>14412303
I wonder who buys this black bay wannabe and then shit talks tudor

>>14412560
Most people don't wear watches to impress others. 99.999% of people you will ever meet will not notice your watch :)

Trolls aside, having a look online at the H800 I just bought, seems it really was cheap at £200 new in box. I could flip it for profit right now! But I won't, its coming to Mexico with me!

>>14412314
for the pennies it costs it looks hella good

>>14412578
Almost everything, except its lack of a caseback display.

>>14412599
>99.999% of people you will ever meet will not notice your watch :)
Not true here in sweden

>>14412314
>>14412607
oh wait, it costs almost $1000

nevermind

>>14412578
woah, a good looking tudor

never thought i'd see that

>>14412599
>99.999% of people you will ever meet will not notice your watch :)
Lol what, everyone notices, what are you talking about?

>>14412642
99.999% don't care though

I’m a spic, can I cop Rolex and Speedies away from you people?

>>14412612
Well, the question is whether you care about what other people think of your watch. In the UK rolex owners are comprised of the following
5% of people who can afford them without a second thought
25% bought them on finance and will sell it to cover rent arrears in 5 years
70% who lived on instant noodles for 12 months to buy the cheapest rolex possible

>>14412446
No country except America does dude. (((They)))'ve just been pushing that shit everywhere in the past 20 years. You've got massive malls opening up every few months in my shitty country of a few million people and then they end up half empty and then they open another one.

Teddy, you know the drill.

The fuck have you been the last year? There's usually a waiting list for them.

>>14412712
>There's usually a waiting list for them
since when does that indicate a good looking watch

>>14412578
where can i get that but cheaper?

>>14411960
They make 40 and 42mm models now.

>>14412609
Why would you want a caseback display for that? Their movements are nothing special and barely finished.

>>14411960
They do a 38mm model, on the right in this pic. PAM00755 is the reference.

>>14412745
Well, if they did put a display caseback I'm sure they would finish that movement a bit more than they have currently, and it's an in-house movement that deserves a caseback display.
What's more, I don't buy any watches over 1k that hasn't a display caseback. Period.

>>14412732
no, i dont want to wear a brand i cannot afford

>>14411960
looks like a cheap vintage watch

no one would give a shit about this if it werent for the branding - a branding normies dont even know

>>14412774
>no one would give a shit about this if it werent for the branding - a branding normies dont even know
I see Rolex and Panerai more than any other brand where I live. People with even a passing interest in watches recognize them.

not very
Though, if you want to be cool you would buy a vintage watch. The real reason for that is to get a steel case. I think the new casios use a painted plastic for the case.

>>14412769
>What's more, I don't buy any watches over 1k that hasn't a display caseback.
Do people actually buy any mechanical watches without one? Why would they?

>>14412758
>>14412808
Those new models have been selling like dogshit, btw. Well, most Panerais these days to be honest. When was the last time you heard anyone hyping them up?
I actually love the look, but at this point, I'll wait until the used/gray market hit rock bottom.

>>14412832
I’m not fat, I’m 150.

>>14412773

>>14412849
Yes people buy rolex and they buy tudor.
Most watchproducers include displays on all watches, unless it is some kind of vintage remake then they tend to have the iconic caseback there. Everyone uses casebacks becasue it's at least 50% of the value maybe for most customers, to have it so that they can flip it over and look at it or show it off to someone, the beauty that runs the whole thing, what makes it special etc etc.

Rolex... for some reason, has not gotten the memo, they are still riding on their brand logo a lot more than anything else I guess.

>>14412849
Why do you wanna see a fucking rolex/omega/oris/tag movement? It's just a marketing move. Maybe if it's your first seiko 5, then sure, have at it. We're not talking geneva seal movements here.

>Why do you wanna see a fucking rolex/omega/oris/tag movement?
Because if you don't you might as well get a quartz.

>>14412383
His critiques of the swatch group are pretty fair. One can only imagine how omega would be today if seiko had bought them instead as they very well might have.

>>14412801

They are so gay to release only a few of these. More proof companies know what we want, but would rather ya keep chasing the dragon.

>>14412873
>>14412874
Goddamn you’re both retarded. There is no point to have a display back in a TOOL or SPORTSWATCH. Unless it is a complicated movement, well finished, or a dress watch, there is no reason to have a display caseback unless you have autism.

>>14412873
>>14412874
It gets old quick. And at that price point, it's probably unfinished or minimally machine finished. Again If it's your first mech watch, yes, you'll probably wanna look at it see how it works, etc. But when you have like 2 already, you don't even notice.
Again unless we're talking hand finished stuff here.
Off the top of my head, super popular watches that DON'T have display back:
-Rolex/Tudor
-Seiko Divers/Prospex
-Omega Speedy Moonwatch (hexalite)
If there's such a thing as "the first three watches anyone should own list", that'll be it.

>>14412881

JINGLYJANGLYFUCKINGTIMEXJUBILEE

Seriously, it's alright, don't listen to the cunts here. Buy whatever you like, be happy. Is that a Seiko 5 field watch in the box? Those are my favorite cheap mech watch.

>>14412881
That Timex datejust is hilariously great. That is /fa/ irony at it's finest.
"Wow, cool you have a Rol- OMFG!"

>>14412899
If a watch has a display back then the movement IS well finished, dummy.

i like this watch, am i retarded?

Just put my boomergraph on leather.

>>14412925
Not every movement can be as nice as a LONGINES

>>14412933
No

>>14412881
That fukken Timex Two Tone Day Datejust on Jubilee is something else. Unironically love that.

>>14412938
Wish I could finish on it.

>>14412953
Cant be, the watch says friday and that day was wednesday.

That would be tragic. Glad it never happened.

>>14412995
If anything seiko would have just left omega alone to do what they want unlike swatch.

>>14412880
It would be actually pretty interesting seeing as both do exactly the same shitty limited editions en masse now.

>>14413007
You don't know that, and that's probably not correct. But more than that, I don't care. I would rather thave Omega being swiss than Japanese.

>>14413014
Why? What’s the difference?

>>14413014
Swatch is fucking shit and while Seiko does many things wrong these days, they definitely wouldn't put omega in mud like swatch did before.

>>14412971
>*blocks your path

>>14413014
Yea swatch is doing a great job of keeping them swiss.

>>14413020
Can't describe it exactly. It isn't based on rational clear ideas. It's some kind of sentimentality.

>>14413039
Nobody does everything inhouse. At least it's a swiss company. It would be Japanese if Seiko owned it.

>>14413044
>It would be Japanese if Seiko owned it.
No it wouldn't. Also that's a fucking bracelet link. You'd at least expect that to not come out of china.

>>14413047
Bracelet links aren't particularly important to me. It's a lot worse to import hands like rolex does.

>>14413038

>>14413053

>>14413119
Sorry, but in my world importing hands is retarded. I never did such a thing, so I'm still sane.

>>14411960

I;ve looked at PARNIS watches so much now that Panerai look like cheap aliexpress shit to me.

Look at Parnis Militaire on aliexpress. You could always buy one then see if you like it before getting a panerai.

Either you will be put off the Panerai, or you will see how no normie ever notices or has heard of Panerai

>>14413132
>he doesn’t import hands

>>14413148

>>14411987
good shit anon

>>14412368
Bump.

My first guess was a pimped out Patek Ellipse. But that's not it. Something with a similarly viscous dial though.

What's the best mid-price automatic military style chronograph that looks tacticool?

>>14412368
Is that the first boomber on the moon?

>>14413175

>>14413148

HOly fuck just browsed through their collections: https://parnis.org/collections
Their Patek rip-offs are in the collection called "Patek".
It's worse than I thought.

>>14413175
Breitling Aerospace, second hand. Nothing mechanical looks tacticool; just tactitard at best.

>>14413248
Forgot pic.

>>14413108
If any watchmaker should never have parts from china it's patek, holy shit.

>>14413255
The old ones with the titanium band are cooler

>>14413264
But less tacticool... but you have to put it on a NATO if you want to look the part anyway.

>>14413210

Parnis is actually not a single company. Its a collection of people/factories/designers. They have all kinds of stuff thats hard to acquire or discontinued. If you search aliexpress there is just tonnes of it. Then you search ebay there is loads more and its different again.

Then you find Parnis official website at top of google and the homepage has a 2017 halloween theme. Then you find other websites with different watches.

They are tricky to pin down but all of it looks good. Their rolex ripoffs were well received by youtube reviewers, as were the panerai.

>>14413196
The half link of Omega is a simple chunk of metal made of a single piece. Nothing like the full links which have many parts and different finishes.

Pic related, the Seamaster 300m im wearing just now, you can see the half link.

>>14413281
Their sterile dials look pretty damn fresh for some designs too.

What brand do you think normies know of more? Tudor or Panerai?

>omega would be better off with soiko
imagine being this much of a soikofaggot that you believe this
KYS

>>14413320

Yeah I liked that one. I have skinny wrists and am researching if I can even pull off a deliberately oversized watch.

The worst ones say 'Custom made One of kind' on the dial which is like a direct chinese translation or something. I actually rather like the dials that say 'Parnis' and 'Marina Militaire' though that might just be me.

>>14413378
I’m a bit concerned there’s no thickness stated for the Pam clones...

Actually I tend to agree with you. I will need some time to develop a taste I guess. When I was a kid I wanted a Breitling. That says enough aye.

I don’t get why you guys don’t like replicas. You get access to the worlds finest watch designs without having to invest thousands of dollars.

>>14413446
desu if you're wealthy enough that you could pass as someone capable of owning a Patek, it makes even less sense to buy a real watch

the real cringe is when people poorfag around on facebook and insta but then show off fake watches, Why?

He means the concept of mid-range will vary based on your spending power. I apologise for his rude retort. 1-2k may be mid-range for some but very low end for others. 1-2k would also fall in my mid-range. Good day.

What's the general opinion on Junkers watches?

>>14413543
Junk

>>14412303
It looks nice but it's too blatant of a Tudor homage for me, and it's also kinda huge. The Mako USA II is still my pick out of the Orient lineup, it's got a little more character of its own and if anything reminds me more of a Seamaster than a Sub, which is a rare thing.

>>14412937
I definitely think leather is the way to go with it, but brown would be way better. Also, it looks kinda grimy around the cracks and corners in your pics, a good cleaning would definitely help the overall look.

Reason for the hate on Seiko brand? I just bought a Samurai. Initially, it seems like the movement is solid and keeps good time.

>>14413658
Not him but I've got a Navihawk AT I wear sometimes. I can never decide if I love it or hate it but it's a ridiculously useful travel watch, I love how easy it is to switch time zones. I got it as a gift a few years back and probably wouldn't have chosen black and orange for myself, I generally prefer my watches in SS.
