So uhh what’s the umm appeal of watches? Horey shit it cost $500,000 think of the time and effort that went into creating this “movement” (what the hell is a movement?” It’s heritage ree god damn basedcunts

Bulova should stop using miyotas (even if they're owned by citizen) and just develop and use their in-house movements on everything
This should keep the watch snobs satisfied while still being a mallwatch brand, they're wasting their brand heritage on shitty rereleases

Starting graduate school and would like a watch in the $100-500 price range that would function as an all-purpose daily beater. Definitely not trying to flex on anyone, just want to look put together. Been looking at the Orient Bambino and the Citizen Avion. What do you think, fa, would either of these be good, or do you have another suggestion? Thanks.

>>14524679
As a daily beater id buy something as a Seiko 5; WR, day-date... and cheap. They come in infinite flavours.

>>14524468
What watch would you recommend that's under 1k and is like an everyday/dress watch? I'm looking at a seiko sarb right now

>>14524690

Should i? Its 80 bucks and its normally almost 1g

I dont need a RAF quartz chrono, I already have a daily watch, a gifted weekender and a dress piece.


....send help.

Which watch would you suggest someone to buy as a present for a relative; recently promoted 40yo lieutenant detective, kind watch aficionado but doesnt have anything too fancy (some swiss and jap shitters), pretty fit/lean (so no big wrists), usually wears suits or chinos and polo with decent shoes...

I just don't understand how this 10€ watch can be so good

Buy explorer one (1).

Anyone have experience with the Braun watches? Some of them look good, but the Amazon reviews are full of people complaining about quality and timekeeping issues.

>>14524958
They're overpriced and pretty shit.

For around 150€ is there any dress watch better than the bambino?

>>14524968
That's a shame, I guess there's a reason they are constantly discounted around 50%

>>14524958
Yeah you are paying for the toothbrush guys name. Save up and pay for the Rolex name instead

> tour-BILL-ee-uhn

>>14524977
What kind of a suit do you think you can wear a $150 dress watch with? A paper suit costume for your school play?

>>14524980
If they're a reasonable price and you like the aesthetic then that's fine, but there's better options out there.

>>14524601
Did you buy vintage or a new one? How much was it?

What is the appeal of Hamilton? If they were priced like Seikos I think I'd get it but 1k+? Literally why?

Part of the Casio gang.

>>14524995
Branding, "heritage" and aesthetics and price.

They're all over a bunch of different events so they have that normie appeal, they're entry-level swiss, and honestly, they're not that expensive and people routinely get deals.
>tfw getting a Khaki Mechanical for AU$250

>>14524995
It's like "American Swiss Seiko"

>>14524999
>they're not that expensive and people routinely get deals.

Their prices suck though. I feel like they're competing with watches WAY cheaper than them.

But hey if you know where I can get half price hamiltons like pic related lemme know

>>14525005
That'd work for me if they had high end swatch prices instead of low end omega...

>>14524999
Checked

Some people on Instagram are doing a mod where the 38mm kahki mechanical's shit sapphire is punched out and binned, meanwhile a domed acrylic crystal is punched in instead

>>14524990
I bought an unworn “vintage” one. From my research it is pre 2007 which is before Ikepod went bankrupt and Marc was still there. It has a chronometer grade ETA 2892 chronograph movement. I paid $2300 total.

>>14524997
Nice
Does the multiband receiver work well where you live?

>>14525009
From my experience with Hammy's you're going to hit a wall when it comes to buying online and discounts.
I went into a shop and got the discount just by haggling. Honestly, it depends on your personality but that's the best way.

>>14525013
This sounds preetty cool. I was thinking of getting a flat AR saph for it.

>>14525015
Nice pickup, it's a sweet watch for sure. Always cool when skilled designers of other things do a watch. Like the Braun above but better.

>>14525026
Yeah it is the first watch that has spoken to me on design alone. I have to keep my eye out for a Hemipode or Megapode next.

>>14525018
It's weird. I couldn't get a signal for the first 2 weeks. I've done nothing different but now it's updating daily. I almost considered selling it because of that. Best 100 CDN I've ever spent on a watch.

>>14525038
>100cad for a basic bitch tough basedlar multibanned 6 gcuck
Oh no no no no no no no no no no hahahahahahahahahaha

>>14525025
>I went into a shop and got the discount just by haggling. Honestly, it depends on your personality but that's the best way.

How big of a discount can you haggle though? 50%? 10 or 20 isn't gonna move the needle for me.

>>14525047
I think it was RRP of about $490 so getting $250 was about 50% off. It depends on the watch, depends on the salesperson and your want of it. I don't really have any issues taking a strongarm haggling tactic against any jewelers ever so that helps. Swatch company watches are pretty lax about discounts too so that helped. Like I wouldn't bother haggling for a Rolex or anything.

>>14525110
Interesting, that's good to know.

You’re so wrong it’s hilarious. Bitches can’t resist gaudy two tone sportswatches. A flashy Rolex or 2 tone Cartier Santos will get you halfway there if you’re not horrendous or autistic.

Invicta's are only decent if you can get them for super low prices, like their quartz dive-styles under $35 or their Pro Diver automatics for under $60. The automatics use a pretty good Seiko movement for the money: hacking, handwinding. The issue is Invicta is a shitty brand otherwise, horrible customer service, focused too much on godawful monoliths of watches, and their good watches are just Rolex knockoffs.

Post your 'fuck you I love it' watch.

AquaTerra 15000 Gauss for me. I wish it had horizontal banding on the dial opposed to vertical, but I love how gorgeous it is and how that second hand screams out. Omega's best line are the ATs, hands down.

jays & kays adapters, bars, and then the 20mm bracelet they do, it's only on their etsy for whatever reason. Really solid for 20 bones, adapters are overpriced but apparently better then cheap ones off ebay.

>>14525623
Yeah thinning isn't the goal here, it isn't about needing anything but just wanting. It's gonna be 24 pieces total when I grab the last 2, completing the poorfag painting I have envisioned. Then nothing til I'm probably 30 since I'm not really a fan of omega tier shit. First G is the beater, 2nd is not. I also specifically wanted both those red dials, the open heart being the more rare of the two.

>>14525631
>24 shitters
I'm not one of those people who is against cheap watches or beaters, but this is ridiculous.

>>14525633
I agree with you, that is what I'm going for. But realistically looking at the cost of it all... I mean, I would rather keep all of them then sacrifice 5-6 for a sinn or a ball or something, or all of it for maybe 1/4th the cost of a nice preowned explorer 2. When it's done I'll be sure to drop it here for admiration as well as ridicule. Half is casio, half is mechanical, mechanical will be separated by russian, orient, and 3 watches with miyotas in them.

Hey fags lets do something, what is your:

Well Anons, it arrived yesterday eve, but I haven't had time to do pics of it yet (so, stock photo). I'm happy as punch, and wore it to work today. I had to get the bracelet sized this morning though, as I have no tools to do it with properly, but at least the guy didn't scratch the shit out of the casing.

All pros, no cons, so happy as fuck. Soon I'll take pics. All the reviews are right though...the slide rule bezel turns like butter...

>Posts on /wt/ and buys watches
>as I have no tools to do it with properly

Congrats on your purchase but could you fucking sort out your life and get some Bergeons?

>>14527464
I've thought about it for a long time, but to be honest there is no need. I never have to resize a bracelet once it is sized to me, so that's useless. I don't buy enough watches to warrant the issue, and as the next bracelet watch I plan to buy is gold (Day-Date Rolex) I wouldn't want to try altering the bracelet on that except at the boutique with one of their 'experts'. If I fuck up the gold, that's my problem...but if they fuck it up, it's theirs.

And yes, I'm drunk as fuck, so DrunkSeagullAnon is back, just for tnight. Why is chan so slow?

How often do you resize your bracelets? (i.e. take out links or put them in?) I've nver had to for my Seamaster....and now that the nightflyer is set, I have no need to do so either. It's realy comfy, btw, and the almost pvc black finish is fucking prisine at the moment (though I don't know if it'll stay that way). I've always wanted a watch with a slide rule in it,and now I have one without paying Breitling prices...though one day perhaps the Cosmonaute has my name on it.

How are you?

>Another stock foto because fuck...but this is the precise model I got because they don't make American ones with this bracelet anymore in black black.

The best thing about haute horology is putting on your snooty French accent to say the brand names.

>>14527480
Except for Jaeger-Le-Coultre; according to the official spokesperson, it's pronounced, 'Jeh-Jehr', not "Yayger'...no wonder everyone fucking calls it JLC...

What are other Anons wearing tonigth?

>Mine doesn't have long lumed hour markers...they're reflective and then the ends are small squares, but surprisingly the lume is pretty good for this price range. Nothing compared with my Seamaster, but these things happen.

>>14527484

That's what I learned from ABlogtoWatch about them too. Most other brands are pretty standard though.

>>14527489
Yeah...It's really kind of sad though, when you think about it. What I mean is, the name is all they have. There's no real world practicality to owning one, it no longer has the impact on status that it once had for a man, and once the Chinese and the Arabs stop buying them, well....they're shit out of luck economically.

I've always wanted a Breguet...even though I think their watches are ugly as fuck. Just for the name, mind you...their history is untouchable. I've bitched and moaned about JLC Reverso here, so I'm not saying that again....who else. I love Vacheron Constantin, but only for their really simple clean watches. As for Patek...for some reason I just don't see the beauty. Maybe I need thumbs shaped like big toes like all French women...

>>14527495

The big names are great if you're just rich enough not to care, but for poor folk, there should be nothing wrong with seeking out pretenders like Frederique Constant. Cheap, in-house movements, great looking watches, Archie hates them. There's no negative.

>>14527484
It's not that hard to pronounce correctly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUttvcweakQ

>>14527504
I go further than that; wear whatever the fuck you want because we now live in a post 1980's society where the name actually mattered.

Think about it. Does anyone look down on anyone else for wearing a grand seiko instead of a rolex? Does anyone care if someone wears a vintage Longines instead of a Lange? The bottom line is that it doesn't matter anymore except to collectors or frauds.

There are always two parts ot this argument: Either we argue about the merits or pitfalls of specific movements, brands, etc., or we argue about the ...fuck me, I actually can't remember where I was going with this. Jesus...am I that drunk, or that old...or both? I'll remember soon.

Anyway, the point is that today no one cares except people who care, but it's not something that is socially unacceptable or something that would lead to public ridicule.

>>14527511
Eh, I will never get the 'oultre' part...it's something that always sounds like I'm trying too hard or have a collapsed lung..

>>14527495

Wtf, Breguet watches are fucking beautiful.

>Eh, I will never get the 'oultre' part...it's something that always sounds like I'm trying too hard or have a collapsed lung..

Pretend it's just -oult. The ending re in coultre is almost just a throaty exhale.

>>14527520
To me they're not. I have never liked the proportions (outside of the 18th C. pocket watches), but it's a personal thing. I think Lange has it down pat, but if I were to go outside of that aesthetic but still go with frenchified designs, it's obviously one by Daniels or his protege. I love the look.

Understand, when I say 'I find x ugly as fuck', it doesn't mean it actually IS ugly. It just means that I don't find it attractive. Something that is objectively ugly is...I don't know...Ladie's Panerais?

Went to their store in Chicago. Everything was nicely presented and everything seemed quality, wish they'd develop some automatics.

>>14527535
Jesus fucking christ anon.

1) the subdials are above the centerline, but not enough to suggest the golden rule. So, the result is looking like an owl with down's syndrome.

2) The hour markers suggest a railroad style watch pocket watch, however the font is so poorly designed (large at the top, slender at the bottom) that it distracts the eye instead of informing it.

3) The crown is not flush with the casing...an accident waiting to happen, but obviously either design flaw or casing/installment error.

4) The face doesn't look luminescent; if it was, I could pass the idea, but if it's not, then it sucks.

5) Lugs are surprisingly appropriate for the watch, so that's not bad. The extra leather in the strap suggests a nato design but using leather. Ugly and shit.

6) Did i mention it looks like an owl with down's syndrome?

>>14527537
FUck that. I've met watch people in the real world and they're either rich people who larp (i.e. they collect watches like wines, not because of their innate fascination but because they can afford it and no one else can't) or they're turbo autists who have 3 awesome pieces in their collection and keep talking about the same three because they'll never be able to afford any more. Boring.

In this world, there isn't enough time to listen to idiots. That's why I come here...at least you Anons are honest.

>it's all about proportions, BreguetAnon

>>14527546
They make an auto, but it's over $1000 lelelel

>>14527504
>The big names are great if you're just rich enough not to care
How though? My favorite watches are in the sub-3k bracket, I honestly can't imagine ever wearing any fancy gay bullshit that's made by pretty much anyone above Rolex.

>>14527513
>Does anyone look down on anyone else for wearing a grand seiko instead of a rolex?
Literally yes.

>>14527548
It was a graduation present a number of years ago, the thing that irks me the most about Shinolas are you can get a similar style watch (Any weekender chrono) and approximate the style for under $100. The fact that they use Ronda movements re-marketed as "Argonite" to justify a simply styled quartz being sold at mid-level auto prices.

>>14527284
That watch spends more time as a picture model than on your wrist. Get a better hobby

>>14527553

When you have Fuck You kind of money, Patek becomes the cheap shitter.

>>14527535
I love it

>>14527553
>Fancy gay bullshit
lol Fuckhing hell, I'd almost agree with you on that. The problem anon is that that's what watches have essentially become unless you're going full Zenith. Their designs have balls, but nothing else.

Oh, that's another line I think is ugly. Rolex Cellini. They can't make a good looking dinner dress watch today to save their life. It's astonishing to me, actually, because their rectangular watches from the 30's (the prince is awesome) are perfect.

>>14527557
Wow, then you must live in the last place they do. They don't in the business world in North America, not anymore. In the Arab world, definitely yes, but then again they're comparing who has the biggest yacccchht there. In normal society, where watches used to matter (think upper-level management at a bank or something like that), it doesn't matter anymore. What matters is what 'experiences' you can buy. Where you skiied last, where you jumped out of a plane last, etc.

A watch is a watch is a watch now. Be highly suspicious of anyone who judges others negatively by the watch they wear; these people are frauds.

>>14527562
Well, you did ask me to 'roast' it. A present is always a present, and the whole damn point is that you remember who gave it to you with a smile. I have all the watches I've ever been gifted, even if they're ugly as shit to me. I wear them when I can because it reminds me of people I can still say 'hello' to and people who are now long dead. That's the point. Sentimentality aside, that's why I'd never buy anyone a watch unless it was a fucking good one that I know they'd appreciate. Watches are personal extensions of our personality...you can't buy someone that if they're a thinking serious human bean.

>>14527548
tell me this ain't sexy

>>14527573

Yes, Shinola is nothing but branding and marketing. At least Rolex makes a good watch on the side.

>>14527575
Reminds me of a toilet

>>14527581

Shinola seems more genuine than MVMT and all that nonsense. But you can find similar designs for far less.

>>14527575
Honestly, I like it except for the off center seconds. I hate that. The enamel dial though...fuck me.

>>14527578
Did before I started drinking. What the hell else would I do after getting home from work?

>>14527585
>Shinola seems more genuine than MVMT

Get a grip.

>>14527535
Shouldve got a chink 1963

Why do so few chronos have the lower pusher on the left side, much more ergonomic.

>>14527566
The fuck does that even mean?

>>14527568
>Patek becomes the cheap shitter.
Except it's incredibly ugly.
>that that's what watches have essentially become unless you're going full Zenith.
Zenith is a handful of old decent designs and 90% mall shitter design though.
>>14527587

Funny thing about Jaeger Lecoultre; 'Jaeger' is actually a German name meaning 'hunter'.
The way the French pronounce it is an abomination, and the English way of saying it (yay-gur) is actually much closer to the original German way of saying it.

Christopher Ward make a 38mm version of the Trident.

What about tanned skin that isn't dark enough to be called olive?

>>14527304
Autism: the watch.

>>14527977
Nice, doesn't look too big for a 40mm. Is it your picture? What's your wrist size ?

I wonder if this would look big on a tiny 17cm wrist.

Guys that Daytona may be fake, I've never seen a variant with an alarm. Someone get back to me on this.

>>14526635
> Both used by terrorists

>>14524842
Prime example of a watch company committing heritage suicide under new, incompetent ownership. I lost hope long ago, but truly began hating them after the chinese made GPS smart watch shit. Surprisingly, Invicta made nice watches before the 90's. But they are beyond repair at this point, and are concrete proof that a company can, in fact, destroy the history it was built on.

>>14528198
why haven't they dropped the Tag from their name?
I would nix the cheaper stuff (Formula, aqua racer, digital watches), but that's probably where a good amount of their sales comes from

Fuck you, I like it.

>>14528224
camp

>>14528242
camp?

>>14528224
I go back and forth on wanting the blue bezel one. The case is amazing, the dial is good, but the fucking hour hand kills it for me.

>>14528250

>>14528254
Oh. I actually like the hour hand.
>>14528255
Not in the mood for discussion, huh?

>>14528257
How big is your wrist? I have read it wears smaller than the dimensions suggest.

>>14528015
>What about tanned skin that isn't dark enough to be called olive?

You can try gold tones and see if they look good. You're lucky in that case because you can probably pull off everything. Just make sure you're actually tan. Don't end up like this sad redditor.

>>14528271
I don't actually know. Not very big, on the skinnier side. The watch does wear super well and not as big as the specs would suggest.

>>14524468
How fuck am I if I wear this Casio at US immigration border if I got an "European" nationality and my name is virtually Ahmed Mohamed Al-Anon Anonazzi?

>ACTUALLY SUPERIOR TO THE GENUINE WATCH IN CERTAIN KEY WAYS

How to tiptoe around saying it has one feature that the genuine doesn't which somehow warrants giving money to a criminal enterprise to make yourself look like a dunce without the means to buy actual nice things or the integrity to act your wage.

>>14528223
That's true. The main watch that has yet to be fucked with and hopefully never will is the Monaco. However, the reputation has been pretty severely damaged and it would take quite a lot of time, money, and effort to fix it. With the reliability issues of their watches, general overpricing, and poor business decisions (such as the aforementioned Chinese produced GPS smart watch) they have really devalued their brand and left the hole to be filled with more Brietling and Omega. The best watches of theirs to own are under the Heuer name

>>14525015

Keep it unworn, hold on to it for a little and make some money to buy something else would be my advice. Nice watch.

Anyone have a link to the watch that looks like an old casio but with cyrillic text?

>>14528421
Why would you need nigger runes on your watch?

>>14528279
is that the wrist of a small woman?

>>14527248
I'm 17cm in circumference and the OP recommends the max size I should for is around 38mm. I'm going to be frank, the only ones that I like the look of that you listed is the Hamilton khaki. Even then, it's too expensive for a dial with comic sans on it (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Watch-Hamilton-Khaki-Mechanical-h69429931-Diameter/dp/B079HPXWY3).). I saw that I can get a small SKX and I love it already without knowing much else about it. Thanks for the effortposting. I feel more comfortable about getting a biigger watch after reading what you said.

>Pic. kinda related

>>14528224
>>14528254
Agreed it's literally just the hour hand that I don't like.

Breguet still extra sexy

>>14528484
Thought about modding it with marinemaster hands but the dial is so big I fear they’d look stubby

been waiting for this post for a while. this year I gave my dad a pic related for his birthday. it was a perfect match for his style and taste

it's a very well made piece - sapphire and all. radio/solar means no maintenance, ever. probably the best everyday piece for a practical man. absolutely cannot be beat for the price. and now they have a titanium model - the lightness and comfort is sublime, def worth the extra $100. not to mention the style is quintessentially polos-and-chinos. Also perfect for smaller wrists.

p.s.: the original bracelet looks much better in person than in the pictures, but throw i in navy leather rally just because you can.
