Rolex is not your buddy. They are a billion dollar a year company and they don't give a shit about you. It's so funny to see poor people defend them to attempt to associate. Especially on 4chan.

i am not in the market for a rolex right now because the prices are not correct for the quality of the product. nevertheless, a counterfeit rolex does not offer any of the benefits that i would seek from the real product sold at or near its retail price.

it is clear from the details you are emphasizing that you do not understand the key functions i would seek to extract from a rolex GMT master, so please do not waste any further time trying to sell me a worthless box of scrap metal.

one of the functions it provides is being expensive without being a bearer negotiable financial instrument. of course, you never leave your basement, let alone the country, so it would never occur to you that one function of a wristwatch is to be something expensive that can be traded for cash in an emergency.

everyone who will ever be interested in your fake watches is already looking for them. now, as i said initially, go and fuck off, you stupid cockroach.

>>14454572
this

>>14454580

And in this emergency fire-sale how much are you going to get for your e.g. 10k Rolex? 8k? 6k? You need that money fast in an emergency remember. Is this really going to beat using e.g. a Monzo card. You also have an opportunity cost of not investing that 10k in equities. And the real chance the rolex bubble pops while you are holding on. The Chinese are faking 904L now.. tick tock boomer... tick tock... lmao

it's legally possible for a watch to be both Swiss Made and Made in Germany. i am not sure what you think you are saying here

>>14454672
Hmmmm really makes you think

>>14454622

How about you explain, with realistic numbers, how selling your 10k watch for 6k in an emergency when abroard is going to end up saving you money long term, compared to using a monzo card and investing that 10k in something with reliable returns. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you actually know something tax-related I dont

USING REALISTIC NUMBERS

>>14454693

it has nothing at all to do with saving money. i am done with you because you are literally too stupid to discuss this.

Where can I get an old-styled domed crystal watch? Something kinda plain, almost like this old timex.

>>14454618
the problem with fakes is you feel like a fraud wearing them, you don't get that same happy feeling looking at it. Even if everyone else thinks it's real, you'll know and if you're wearing a luxury watch for anyone but yourself you're doing it wrong.

You said " it would never occur to you that one function of a wristwatch is to be something expensive that can be traded for cash in an emergency"

So that means you want something for cash in an emergency.

You now say "it has nothing at all to do with saving money. "

Why don't you actually just FUCKING SAY what you keep alluding to.

What does a 10k Rolex offer that a 2k watch and reliable international card not offer?

I am calling your bluff. You say I " do not understand the key functions i would seek to extract from a rolex GMT master"

You are totally full of shit. What can the Rolex GMT master give that another watch cannot

Answer. The. Fucking. Question.

Stop. Dodging.

He sells drugs and wants something for the bondsman when he gets arrested

>>14454706

Would you feel a fraud if you had a real one and fake, and wore the fake most of the time? To be safe from damage, wear and tear, getting mugged and having to get it off insurance.

A lot of wealthy people do that. I know of people with real AP and PP who do that.

Now ask yourself. What if you and a friend did a time-share on a Rolex. You keep it somewhere safe and wear the fake. You confide in people you have a real one and a fake, you dont like to wear the real one as its valuable. You sometimes show people the real one.

Would that be OK?

Now make 2 friends into 10. Is that OK?

>>14454718

This is some of the most insane rationalization I have ever read.

>>14454706

> Even if everyone else thinks it's real, you'll know and if you're wearing a luxury watch for anyone but yourself you're doing it wrong.

I always hear this shit. Everyone says it. But look most of what people do is mimetic desire and status signalling. All of our beliefs are, most of our desires are. If your same DNA time travelled 50 years back and was born then you would be very anti gay, anti black. You would have the beliefs of the time. And you have all these beliefs now. None of them came from within you.

If the real issue is not believing its real then just pay $50 for one hour with a hypnotist. You just saved 10k and are happier. "but now i believe something thats not true" - congrats, most of what everyone believes about most things is not true.

>>14454723

Actually answer the questions though
Is it immoral to have the replica and the real one (not shared) and wear the fake most of the time to keep the real in pristine condition? And then to show people the real one occasionally?

>>14454730

Who cares? It's stupid and pointless. If I don't want to wear the nice watch I will wear a beater. There's no room in my plans for a fake piece of shit.

>>14454717

I see. I dont get why he cant just say that. So the amount of drugs he deals in is an amount that means his bond is less than 10k but more than 2k.

But why would you use a Rolex GMT or any stainless steel sports watch for this? Shouldn't he be using a High Horology watch in a precious metal that is not replicated to death and immediately identifiable as real or fake?

>>14454738

things would be so much easier if we had strong felony penalties for scumbags who buy counterfeit watches, instead of just for the filth who peddle them

>>14454742

Why do people get so triggered by it. The fakes are just showing the Emporer is wearing no clothes. Emporer boot lickers.

Cant wait for my $400 panerai to arrive. Enjoy your $2k Seikos lads

>>14454718
I don't know about these hypotheticals. Sure, it's OK, I'm not the watch police. But as someone who has messed around a bit with decent Chinese replicas (admittedly not the "super replicas" you're talking about, but ones in the 3-5 hundred dollar range), I just didn't feel good with the fakes on my wrist, even if to the naked eye they looked great. I'm probably a moralfag or have been brainwashed by the mountain jews, but that was just my experience. I ended up giving the fakes to my friends since I never wore them. And spending several thousand on a fake watch seems nuts to me, just save up a tiny bit more and buy a Tudor or an Omega.

>>14454749
Why not buy an actual watch for that price?
Why buy something that isn't actually what it seems?

Just to show off?

>>14454727
I'm 15 and this is deep.

>>14454763

>Why not buy an actual watch

I did buy an actual watch. Look at the quality and finish. Keeps great time too according to reviews. Its a replica though. Heres an article on actual diamonds you might like https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/fashion/style/a15840352/lab-grown-diamonds-real-diamonds-difference/

Can you show me a $400 watch with a design and finish quality like this? I will buy it if you link one.

I might even pay 5x as much for a genuine watch with this quality of finish and style. But I did not find any for 2k. And when I do find something that comes close I get so many comments calling me poor or pathetic or cant-afford-a-rolex-then-dont-buy-anything that I think why bother? I make just shy of 200k a year and I am frugal. Looking to invest it all in SaaS

I considered Maurice Lacroix Aikon 39mm - but everyone shat on it as being a poor fake of an AP royal oak. So I didnt get it and thought if my choices were to get a really good design and finish quality it would either be 8k for a genuine 2nd hand of a solid watch or 400 for a new replica.

>>14454762

The super replicas are only $400 - and they get closer and closer each year. You might have even had one. But super replica is just a term used by people on replica forums. They have lists where they track the different versions and rank them. The best way to know if it is or isnt is to look at those lists and read reviews

The low quality Chinese replications are $200

See a comparison here https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/c8fu4a/dhgate_vs_jf_factory_audemars_piguet_royal_oak/

I wouldnt spend thousands on a replica either. Id get a used omega for a few grand instead.

I'm with you on the materials thing, but the royal oak looks atrocious. If you want a sports watch that actually looks good, nautilus is your best bet.

>>14454979

Any of you lads know what casio watches display current time while in stopwatch? I know the dw5600 does but if I get another gshock itd be nice to have the multiband and solar. I also heard the dw5600 you can only set the countdown timer in one direction ie if it was at 5 min and you wanted to go to 2 min you'd have to cycle all the way through. Can anyone confirm? I'd like to get a classic shaped casio or square gshock but I'd be open to other stuff.

Lab grown diamonds are actual diamonds. A fake watch is not a genuine watch. A more valid comparison is cubic zirconia = fake watch. Sure a fake watch tells the time just like a cubic zirconia looks pretty but both are not the genuine article that they are a substitute for. But hey if a fake watch makes you happy go for it. An actual watch nerd will spend the money to get the genuine article not to show off but for there own gratification.

>>14455249
Oh yeah, I forgot they brought out the bigger automatics.

The first marlin reissue was smaller and a non-auto.

I like this watch. I know nothing about watches. I don't have any watch. Is this a good watch? If everything goes well, I'll buy it to myself in like less then a year (when I'll graduate). Also I don't like that strap, can't I just buy it from the Hamilton site with another one on or do I have to order the watch+a strap that I like?

>>14455600

>>14455600
Hamiltons are decent watches. They're about as cheap as Swiss made mechanicals get. The strap dimensions of that watch should be either 20 or 22 mm, so just find another watch band you like with that dimension and it will fit.

That watch design is typically known as a field watch, or a military/army watch, so you might want to google those terms to look at others you might like.

BASED BULOVA

>>14454512
I used to fall for Parnis/china meme but here is my experience.
Parnis submariners - bracelet clasp fucked up in 3 months, non-standard lug holes so no aftermarket fits.
Date adjust died on one.
Parnis PA6007 - absolutely worst lug design ever, too big gap for rubber/leather straps, 23mm so no NATO/Zulu fits, no aftermarket steel bracelet. Also the clasp got fucked up in few months. I had to hack together rubber strap + endlinks from original bracelet.
Bagelsport "Nautilus" - great finish but stock clasp must be replaced asap, date quickset died fast, right after that whole date got fucked up. Also accuracy is sub-par even for worst chinese/russian watches, my watchmaker told me it's just shit movement, he tried everything to adjust it but fucker is +- 5min/day by default whatever the chinks say.
Bagelsport "Daytona" - crown tube got fucked up really quick.

I'm no idiot that uses them improperly, i have 10+ y.o. Citizens and Seikos that have been running as daily drivers whole time and had 0 problems with them.
Also my Raketa big zero & few vostok watches have 0 problems.
But the chinks just kill themself after few months of use due to QC & design problems, also they have 0 resale value.
Also what's the point of buying a mechanical watch if it's mass produced cheap chink piece of shit with shit tier movement assembled by kids in sweatshops?
Wasn't the heritage and manufacturing the whole point of buying mechanical?
Also there are plenty of Seikos and other in that price range, i bought a SNZH60 for price of average parnis, but instead of chink shit it's actually a usable and pretty japanese watch.
Chinks went nuts with prices, it was all god when they were in 50$ range, but who pays 150$ for parnis is fucking nuts, thats SKX007 range.

Really really good review comment, thank you.
I have a parnis hublot on its way.
Maybe I needed to learn the hard way about the real cost of parnis.
I was intially sold on Parnis after this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFpkE7Rjkns&t=312s
I was thinking about putting my smart watch inside the fake Hublot case if the mechanical movement was shit and I can machine it to fit

>>14455650
Just get a modern smaller sized flieger from Laco or Stowa or whoever the hell else makes them

Big horology shill

Objective reasons why Longines is the best watch brand in the world:
- Gorgeous, memorable logo and name
- The winged hourglass logo, which was registered in 1889, is the oldest unchanged yet still active registeredtrademark
- ETA began making custom movements reserved for Longines - technically in-house movements, since they’re part of the same manufacturer
- The CEO of Longines, Walter von Känel, isn’t some hired commercial manager, but worked 50 (!) years for the brand
- Annual calendar watch for only $2000
- Best watches in the $1000-$2000 range with the Master and Heritage collection
- 5th most profitable watch brand in the world, just below Patek Philippe
- Honest watchmaking: you’re paying for functionality, design and quality
- The Heritage chronograph might as well be the most beautiful watch in the world
- Has ETA production factories reserved for itself
- Designs full of understated class
- Rich history and heritage: founded 75 years before Rolex and 15 years before Omega
- Perfect price point, between posh luxury and cheapish brands
- Audrey Hepburn adored the brand. Buy it for her
- Albert Einstein adored the brand. Trust the opinion of the smartest man in the world
- Introduced the very first watch with an LCD screen to the market
- Brought its first Quartz to the market in the same year as Seiko, announced the first commercial Quartz before Seiko
- Brought United States watchmaking know-how to Switzerland
- „Elegance is an attitude“

What do I do when my favorite watches are in the "enthusiast" and "quasi luxury" tiers, and there are no real equivalents in "luxury" and "high end luxury"? Everything from "entry level luxury" above looks too fancy to me, I just want a field/tool chrono that isn't a Speedy.

I'll say this -- it probably wouldn't have been my first choice either, but god damn, do I love a "clean" watch.

A clean watch is one that's elegant enough to wear to a wedding, but tough enough to wear while out and about. A clean watch is one that you can safely take on vacation, because it goes with virtually every outfit, and although it's not cheap, it's not outlandishly expensive either. A clean watch is one that will go unnoticed by most people, and receive little more than an appreciative nod or comment from fellow watch lovers, so that you can get on with your day.

A clean watch is one that I can appreciate because I want to appreciate watches, point, blank, period.

This is a clean watch. Congrats on the watch itself, and an apparently good year.

That Tudor looks like a Chinese Rolex.

Are there any alternatives to the Speedmaster that look the same but are more expensive?

>>14456178
you want a MORE expensive speedmaster? maybe look into a JLC master chrono

>>14456197
I don't necessarily *want* it, I'm just wondering if that's where the "rugged tool chrono" look stops, price-wise. JLC's design looks a bit too dainty, they're clearly meant to be worn with a suit.

Daytona kind of fits the description too, the one with the black dial anyway, but other than that I can't really find anything more expensive that just looks like a generic everyday tool chronograph.

>>14456213
Also, before you say Zenith, same issue as JLC except with more "mall watch" design elements similar to TAG.

>>14456213
If you want a rugged chrono, Sinn makes some really nice ones.

>>14456220
But it's less expensive and positioned lower on the rankings list.

>>14456233
Those lists are affecting weaker minds now.

>>14455675

If they werent charging 1200 for that and went with a clean dial, they could rival Stowa or Tourby, but nooo, muh factory worn distressed bullshit.

Nice story on the explorer, she's a keeper. Like others said, you can upgrade the stowa to an IWC (for me it's the BIG pilot) or even an air king 40mm or a vintage GMT Master depending on availability.

Is Explorer supposed to be a dress watch? I don't really understand the classification, if you wear it with a fancy suit is it a faux pas or not?

This one has a drawer below the watches...

https://www.amazon.com/Lifomenz-Co-Cufflinks-Sunglasses-Organizer/dp/B07MXFMZDP/

...and this one has compartments beside the watches.

Which do you think is better? Not the specific boxes, just the concept. Obviously the second one is meant for sunglasses and cufflinks and whatnot, I'd just be using it for straps and shit though.

>>14456411
Nobody cares what watch you wear with your suit.

I see a lot of watches on wrists at my job and it's amusing how many are just Submariners or part of that lineage.

>>14456411
Bankers wear divers with business suits every day. The Explorer is perfect for anything except black tie... and even in that case its pasable nowadays.

>>14455756

Best thing about them is that despite their lineage and history, they're very affordable.

>>14456411

It's a steel bracelet so that makes it a sport watch over a dress watch, meaning you'd put it on to play golf or tennis where your Patek or VC on leather straps should not be.

An Explorer as the only watch is not going to happen. It is just the beginning of a very expensive habit. Kind of like trying drugs and telling yourself you are just experimenting and you will not get addicted.

When I was younger, I was in love with the then 36mm Explorer I. I scraped up enough money for it ( around $3K at that time) and bought one from the big T. For the first year or so, I was so in love with it wearing it everywhere. It was the perfect Rolex that can dress up or down.

After I started wearing my Explorer, I was paying attention to what other people were wearing, especially my friends. As time goes by, my peers progressed in their careers and started to buy more and more expensive watches. The watch bug grew and grew and I too started to buy different expensive watches ( a few thousands is my definition of expensive).

Throughout these years, I have bought and sold some really nice watches including Rolexes, IWCs, Panerais,Bugalris, B&Rs..etc.

So my friend, your idea of one watch for all seasons is not going to last.

>>14455967
Great design, got something similar because i liked the color and the domed acryl.

This is the aliexpress fake hublot I bought:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000008095834.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.39d44c4dxx8kNi

Its not a high quality rep. You wont find high quality reps on aliexpress. I bought it to experiment and maybe put my smart watch inside it.

There is a Hublot Big Bang that got 'super replicated'. Its called '''''Hublot Big Bang V6(F) "V6.5" SS''''' and its on this list https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/replica-watch-general-discussion/308081-consensual-list-super-reps-nwbigs

You can google around and it costs $400. image attached is the super replica

>>14456966

(I was wrong to say Parnis Hublot, its not Parnis, I misremembered. The image doesnt show Hublot on the dial but the image in reviews show they use Hublot on dial)

>>14456640

I wanted some variation in my collection. So for my lastest watch I got another rose gold 5711 but the brown dial is more of a chocolate burgandy. Thanks for liking and subscribing!

What would possess a company to make lugs like this? What’s the purpose?

I wouldnt buy a fake PP or AP or rolex for this reason. But I am fine with the Hublot as I feel you aren't screaming Im rich. Its steel and black and just a great design, and normies dont actually know Hublot. It just looks like a high quality watch.

omega is just a glorified mall watch

>>14457024
I'm not a fan of the explorer but come on.

>>14456978
Nomos will tell the customers that it's the design language of nu-male minimalism and fuckign jewish bauhaus. And that lugs need to be free to not overwhelm with detail.
But we all know that they just want to save cost.

They did a good job on their new diver with the bracelet but still could not bother to design some lugs. I bet it's just "not worth" it to try and design lugs that would fit these disgusting, square lugs.

Sinn is basically like a generic "bread" brand, you know, when you go to the store and see a package with something that kind of looks like bread but doesn't have a brand or anything on it, and it tastes bland as shit, but hey at least it's cheaper than the real bread.

It's fine to eat it if you're poor but don't pretend it's something that it's not. It's not a "real" watch and it's definitely not a luxury watch.
