>>14541376
I like it. is it solid 18k? how much is it?

>>14541378
18k plated. Copped a vintage one for 200

>>14541371

its funny because buying tthis $17k chaykin matches the Joker scene where he sets all that money on fire. this watch truly embodies The Joker

>>14541382
I think that its a very nice looking watch especially at that price point. It would go with a lot of clothing.

I would personally not buy gold plated stuff but many do. I would assume it was solid gold if I saw it.

>>14541354
People will meme about >too poor for rolex but they look good and nobody cares irl

Spoiler: Rolex does another Sub variant

>You fucking shut up or I'm spoiling next years baselworld

Current Rolex models are awful. Anything with maxicase just look liek shit and make you look like you're trying way too hard, the explorer is boring and too big, Datejusts and daydates are too dressy for everyday use, Oyster Perpetuals have bad proportions and Daytonas are just far too expensive.
The only acceptable ones are the 40mm Explorer II and pre-maxicase subs and GMTs.

>>14541497
that's a fake one

>>14541326
Nice! It has the Gay Seiko looks

how can you tell?
looks real to me.
I used this video to tell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upAJE_XhT2Y&t=4s

- The hour markers are gen
- daytona wriiting has correct 3d shape
- bezel has correct planitum painted numbers
- crown could be real or fake, cant see in this lighting.

- Actually the knurls of the crown look a little too soft on the edges. thats closer to rep than gen.
- the numbers on the 3 dials look more only slightly like the rep than the gen

honestly its a tough call. Id need more zoom and different lighting

>>14541527

how much did you pay?

>>14541527
In all probability it is going to be fake. People don't tend to just let watches in the tens of thousands end up in thrift stores.

>>14541438

kek you really own this huh

>>14541552
so many people write stuff like 'sure nobody can tell its a replica. but YOU will know, and buying a real watch you earnt feels so much better'

I will never relate to those people as I use 80/20 rule everywhere. I would feel better buying the replica then sending the rest of the money to malaria nets to africans. now that would be a justified good smug feeling. but paying big uncle rolex is all these slaves want to do

You can get a real tourbillon for $700 if you buy a fake IWC portugese tourbillon. I would feel all smug about having a real tourbillon, but these people would hate the real tourbillon and rather have a stainless steel submariner that they have to wait 2 years for the 'opportunity' to pay 10x the cost on

Its pure mimetic desire and its pure c*ckoldry

Let's. Get. This. PARTY STARTED

everything is mimetic desire, and hence why rolex (or any veblen good) has a market value well over the 'intrinsic' value (here, ~parts+labor)

i hope most people in this thread would rather wear a genuine $100 seiko over a fake $100 rolex. what's the point? nothing is cuckier than 100% posturing 0% substance

>t. someone who was gifted fake rolly shit and bought 1 fake indistinguishable patek from thailand, then grew up

>grew up

don't worry, you're still a pathetic soiko-sucking faggot

>>14541681

> a genuine $100 seiko over a fake $100 rolex

I wouldn't wear either of those. If the watch is for fashion then dont spend less than 1k for a gen, or 500 for a fake.

If the watch is for function then get a smartwatch for the HRM and sleep monitor. But women give me weird looks for wearing one and its beta. So I wear either nothing or a fake hublot (which looks nice).

I would not wear a fake rolex. I would not wear a real rolex either. its hypebeast for boomers.

I wear a fake hublot classic fusion. And I will wear a fake Cartier Santos and Panerai Sub. They all look great and are reliable well built fakes too.

I just bought a 450 pair of crocket&jones off ebay for 60, then a 250 shirt for 25 just now. Both 2nd hand but in good condition.

I am a fan of getting 90% of the value for 1-10% of the cost.

>>t. someone who was gifted fake rolly shit and bought 1 fake indistinguishable patek from thailand, then grew up

those are both shit tier fakes. have you seen how good real replicas at $500 price point are?

Rolex has deposit 1 coin to your account. Its made of 904l steel, so its a very valuable coin.

How does one wear an expensive watch without being a massive douche?

If by expensive you mean over ~$5k: you can't.

>>14542050
You're whiteknighting for chinese ripoffs lmao.

>>14542071

Actually I am SHILLING. Im not offended by gen wearers. I love gen wearers. Im not telling people to stop buying gen to support the reps. I want the gens to be as expensive as possible, so that the reps are better value. If everyone stopped buying gen it would suck.

But you guys are whiteknighting. To be a whiteknight you also need to not be getting laid by the girl. And you guys dont have Daytonas, Pateks, APs.

You are whiteknights defending the honor of a maiden who is disgusted by you but wishes to use you. Most of you will never get the girl, and if you do then it will pre post-wall after chad has had her (in the watch world we call this 'vintage')

Whereas I am not a whiteknight. I am fucking the pricier whores of Saigon, who are still cheap but look great and we know its not forever but damn does it feel nice.

I think it's cool if you wear the right clothes with it. It has a futuristic/offworld look to it. That being said, I personally do not like watches that remind me of early arthropods in daily life. How's it keeping time?

I'll wade into the respectful discussion about fakes. Having owned a fake or two, my thoughts are simple. The fake is for the look, the genuine is for your heart. It's that simple. A fake speedy is a fake to me no matter what, even though the Alpha version of the speedy 'looks' the part without a problem. Same with fake Daytonas and all the rest; they complete 'the look', and the performance of the watch itself is irrelevant.

That being said, I don't have a problem with fakes at all if people want to spend money on them knowing that they are fakes. If someone spends real money on a fake (i.e. selling a fake at the price of the genuine article) then I'd be the first to say that's wrong. But if the person knows they're buying a fake, then who really cares?

Finally, I don't judge people on what they wear, either watchwise or otherwise. I just them on their actions. Respectable people can be found wearing sandals and pjs....and many awful people can be found wearing suits.

Never been a fan of Speedies, but goddamn their ATs are just gorgeous. There's probably like five different references I'd want.

>>14542474
Looks like TAG Heuer design school.

Feather light, durable, very long battery life, replaceable battery, cheap, great quality, easy readout, compact face, not an oversized sundial swallowing the wrist, gets the job done.

on replicas: they will be manufactured, they will be bought. do as you wish. but the very fact youre in a thread that spergs out (in a good way) on legacies, brands, engineering, materials, etc. should be a strong enough internal indicator towards striving for authenticity--if nothing else but for personal, internal enjoyment

watches are: a signalling good, a weak store-of-value, an engineering feat, the only acceptable male jewelry, ..., and in last place a functional piece that tracks time somewhat as good as quartz/phones

humans are built to rationalize. do you claim to only want a watch for functionality? look at a smartphone. want one to impress normies? get any replica, they won't be able to tell the difference and you'll get an ephemeral social boost. but there's much grey area between those two polarities, and it's a difficult sell to enthusiasts when there are so many great genuine pieces (with their own history and appeal) to chase

an approximate comparison would guys who put a ferrari et al. body on top of a pontiac fiero. it may pass normie judgment, but not the lens of a legitimate fan (nor do you want to show off fake shit to people who care, b/c then yr just bein cringe)

>>14542985
How are you so rich?
Will you be blacklisted by Rolex now? Not that it matters.

>>14542950
Nope. Watches like the sub are only “iconic” to watch guys. For Rolex, I’d say a two tone Datejust like the anon posted above are what most normies conjure up in their mind. The most iconic watch ever has to be some 80s digital Casio on a bracelet.

>>14542985
I love the new ceramic pepsi but the jubilee is a total mismatch

What's the purpose of a California dial? Is there any significance for the mixed digits? Or the layout? It was done for military purposes but so far I've only found theories on why it's called a California dial as opposed to what it's for.

I have the one on the silicon strap. I really like it. The bracelet is too shiny for me. But it’s a great daily watch, I wear it while jogging, at the office, very versatile. I think eventually they will come out with a fully brushed case instead of polished, which would be nice, but totally worth the money imo.

You don’t need 300m water resistance in space. The 861 Speedmasters were re-evaluated in 1972 and NASA kept them. The only difference with the 1861 is the rhodium plating. A simple google search would have told you all that.

Yes. I'm a poorfag and like Explorers. I don't feel like Explorers are worth what they sell for now. Plus I can wear this /out/ and not worry about it too much

>>14543488
They don't actually use the watches in much the same way that divers don't use theirs. It's just a ritual that increases a watches value.

>>14543502
Well it does help to know the time lol.
But that's my point about the Speedmaster EVA certification: it's just a ritual.

>>14543488
Russians brought everything into space which is why I specified Americans since we are talking about NASA.

>see pic
It’s a spring drive spacewalk which is a hybrid. It doesn’t have a alkaline or lithium battery which is a no go for EVAs unless it has a fuckton of shielding/insulation like their power tools.

>>14543517
It’s a conspiracy by the the mountain jews to sell watches. Everyone knows the moon landing is faked.

>>14543457
Interesting, I've never heard anyone say a bad word about them. Assuming you're not trolling, what's the problem? I don't have one but they seem like a great starter Rolex, or even a one watch collection, they'd look good with anything from a suit to shorts and a T shirt.

>>14543486
Oh god. I really need an horological gf.

>>14543446
If you want new orient has a fuckhuge full lume diver. Seiko is also putting out the SRPD67K1 (picrel) with the seiko 5 sports relaunch (not actually sure if this is full lume, but it looks like it)

If you want a new full lume basedmaster there is the a fugu version available in Asia. I haven't found a good way to buy it in the US though.

>>14543542
this is the nicest of the new seikos. I wish it came on a regular bracelet instead of the mesh though.

>>14543539
The OP39 in white is the perfect everyday watch, and the most attractive that rolex currently makes imo

>>14543533
>Russians brought everything into space which is why I specified Americans since we are talking about NASA.
The point is the certification is meaningless.
Any mechanical for instance will likely work.

>>14543538
The only people claiming the moon landing was fake are non-white people hating on whitey.

>>14543539
>>14543548
not trolling just not really a fan of the design desu, and this is from someone who thinks rowlecks makes some of the most aesthetically pleasing watches out there. it looks like something some faggot from reddit would wear. for essentially the same price you can get into an explorer which is better in every way. i dont understand the purpose of the OP39

>>14541439
I think that Brad wore a citizen 8110 bullhead chronograph

>>14543550
Tell that to NASA

>>14543542
Thanks, knew about the 2big mako but didn't know about this. Website doesn't mention if the dial is lumed or not but this would be ideal.
>>14543546
I second this though

>>14543564
Nasa only certifies the Speedmaster for nostalgia.

It's been proven many times that even shitty Russian mechanicals work fine for EVA, so stop pretending the Speedmaster is the only watch suitable for EVA just because muh Nasa certification.

>>14543546
I mean the bracelet would be trash anyways. I'm sure strapcode will make bracelets for them.

I plan on buying one and an upgraded bracelet (assuming it's actually full lume)

>>14543574
Allegedly the public nasa facilities are like omega advertisements these days. Something like 75% of omegas marketing budget must go into perpetuating the space watch meme.

>>14543556
But they're nearly identical? The only differences are the minute track and triangle, 3, 6, 9 indices. I'm a fan of the explorer 1 too but I don't understand how you can like one and hate the other

What is the reference of this stunner that I watched on YouTube

>>14543587
The hands on the explorer aren't ugly.

>>14543591
How exactly are they ugly? A little plain maybe but whatever, to each their own

>>14542665

Is that a fake?

>>14543599
They look like they came off a russian watch from the early 80s. The explorer hands actually end in points like any good hand should and they don't have the unsightly tail end that sticks out the back. fuck the OP hands they're crude junk.

>>14543548
>>14543587
sir please apologize

>>14543568
My only problem with it is the kinda faux patina on the lume. Wish it was more like the basedmaster.

>>14543587
theyre completely different aesthetically you complete faggot. the op 39 looks like someone who got caught for adultery in the 1800s and got his hands chopped off at the wrist. it also doesnt have a completely homosexual crown at the 12:00 spot and the text itself on the watch is significantly better. i am honestly telling you to kys

the op39 is the watch you wear if you are a graphic desiger who posts on reddit and plays with legos

>>14543617
why does the bezel insert look all faded and worn?

>>14543627
bc its a citizen that is 2 months old

>>14543542
Wtf I just noticed the picture's fucked and you can see extra indices poking out behind the chapter ring

>>14543635

>>14543623
>the text itself on the watch is significantly better
What did he mean by this?

>>14543635
/facepalm it's the beveled crystal reflecting

>>14543627
Honestly the watch in general is really really used. Previous owner used it a lot. Dove with it pretty often too. Came from Italy which ASAIK is really sunny

>>14543633
Lol you're not wrong

>>14543635
Yeah noticed that too. Assumed it's >>14543658

>>14543587
>>14543623
>>14543653
the biggest differences are bezel (dome vs sharp ring), hands, 3-6-9, crown, chapter ring

explorer imo is platonic ideal of no-nonsense sports watch

>>14541566
This is the best comment I've seen on /wt/ regarding replicas.
I'd much rather spend the money I save on holidays, cameras, paying off mortgage, etc.

>>14543607
No, that's a legit one. I've since sold it though and I'm actually tempted to buy a fake. It's a perfect replica as there's no display caseback.

Regret buying the Omega and not having the discipline at that time to go for a Sub. Choodah was a gift, but I like it a lot. SKX is the best thing you can buy for the money, despite it not having hacking or handwinding. Casio still makes me as happy as anything I've owned. The vintage watches are where my heart is. Back then smaller/cheap brands made more beautiful things than the big ones do now.

>>14543695
>I'd much rather spend the money I save on holidays, cameras, paying off mortgage, etc.
i see that point but then why buy a replica you faggot? just get a seiko or something? why play pretend?

>>14543653
IMEAN THE TEXT F A G G O T

>>14543714
lack of hacking isn't the big deal it used to be since I discovered the omega meme watch doesn't even hack. What the fuck.

By far the best watch I've owned.

>>14543720
I'm not pretending anything. I don't buy shiny, WASPy Rolexes. I have a BB58 ffs. Nobody has even heard of Tudor.
It's a good looking watch so I want it. I' not willing to spend £2400 on it as that's just plain retarded.

God I get through so many watches. I had 2 years of pretty much constantly buying and selling watches.

>>14543720
The text is the exact same on both except for the word "Explorer"

>>14543742

Nice strap !

t. "wasp"

what is best strap color for vintage rose gold chronograph similar to pic related? im thinking dark brown, would that go with black suit?

>>14543744
what's the middle one? I like

>>14543754
THE FONT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SO IS THE SPACING F A G G O T!!

>>14543742
i guess thats ok then friend
although i dont like the 58 too much gold looks weird and gay

>>14543756
It has crossed my mind to get a replica Kermit as it's just completely unattainable to me. I love pre-maxicase subs.

>>14543769
seiko 9983-8000

Probably pricier than it should be... I sold it for £450 and got this for £220

>>14543744
I can't relate to people who buy shit and then sell it. That defeats the purpose of buying it in the first place. I only buy shit I actually want.

I do want it at the time my tastes change.

>>14543778
OPINIONS AND TASTE CHANGE KYS

>>14543778
The great thing about buying second hand watches is that they don't lose value. You can buy a watch, wear it for a while and sell it for what you paid for it.
I actually made £400 selling my old Speedy as two boomers had a bidding war on it.

>>14543794
Say that to my VAT

>>14543797
You pay VAT on 2nd hand watches?

>>14543777
overall this looks nicer than the franken-8000 shame about the lack of applied minutes though.

>>14543574
NASA doesn’t do anything for nostalgia. It’s a gov organization hindered by bureaucracy.

>>14542050
you are whiteknighting for being annoying retard

>>14543802
Yes, and its 25 %.

>>14543771

Buy a few. Dark brown, some kind of honey brown and black. Change according to the rest of your outfit. Buy some quality ones, morellato is good and not super expensive. If you think you're ready you can upgrade to Hermes or Camille Fournet, for example. Molequine is pretty good as well.

>>14542704
This one just cannot get more disgusting

>>14543806
So according to you the Speedmaster is the only watch that can withstand EVAs?

>>14543806
NASA are a joke. American politicians talk shit about russia all day then your astronauts kneel down and suck russian dick to get rides to and from the ISS.

WHY IS OMEGA SO FUCKING SHIT??????????

>>14543822
Is this guys comment section you guys shitposting?

>>14543814
Your reading comprehension is shit. The Speedmaster is the only watch the NASA has certified for EVAs because that’s only one they certified at the time.

>>14543819
Did your country land on the moon? And do it 5 more times for the fuck of it?

>>14543548
little too dressy for everyday watch imho

>>14543841
Yes

>>14543841
>Your reading comprehension is shit. The Speedmaster is the only watch the NASA has certified for EVAs because that’s only one they certified at the time.
And my point is that certification is meaningless and pretty much just for show, since literal shitters have been used on EVAs with zero issue.

HOW are you still trying to debate this very obvious shit?

>>14543826

THE
FUUUUUUUCKING
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

>>14543846
That was never the point I was debating retard. How are you still stuck on it? The point I was making was that nostalgia is not the reason only one watch is certified. It is the fact that certifying additional watches was not required because the Speedmaster is still in production. Fuck even Omega couldn’t get NASA go along with the MKII or Alaska Project watches.

>>14543228
Based.

>>14543861
Not going with the alaska project was a smart move because people with working brains would ask why such a watch is necessary if a regular earth speedy allegedly worked flawlessly on the moon.

Post watches that went to the moon set to the current time.

Non-moonwatches = FUCK OFF

I only saw that watch in Hollywood.

>>14543861
>The point I was making was that nostalgia is not the reason only one watch is certified.
The fact that the Speedmaster is the only watch certified for EVA by Nasa has no value outside of prestige/nostalgia/show.
It's not difficult to understand.

>>14543874
nobody posting in this thread can do that. Actual "moonwatches" had a completely different movement.

It has more value than your opinion.

>>14543898
PHIST

>>14543900
My opinion? What are you talking about?

I love the speedmaster, it's a beatiful symbolic representation of the white man's technical and scientific achievement (timekeeping refers to the great oceanic explorations that spawned the chronometer, and the watch model refers to the moon landing), but stop pretending the Nasa certification thing says anything at all about the watch anymore.

>>14543744
Nice radio controlled seiko

>>14543906
Name a watch that was tested more than it because that would say a lot.

>>14543895
the Daytona was never an officially certified NASA chrono either, yet that watch commands a much higher premium than the Speedy. what was your point again?

Imagine actually buying an omehgay

>>14543916
What are you trying to say my dude?
That the Speedmaster is the most robust watch ever, and that's the reason it's the only Nasa certified watch for EVA?

fwiw a quartz (even an analog one) will beat the shit out of the Speedy in terms of shock resistance etc.

>>14543929
CAN U LITERALLY IMAGINE

thats exactly it. its like youre almost there, you can see the finish line and then youre like yeah nah fuck it

"And now, for something completely different..."

Wearing the new addition to the family today, I'm very pleased. I've owned a Gen 1 Seaforth and while that watch was pretty, In my opinion with the Gen II and onward the design has really come into its own. I wish you all a happy Friday, and have a beautiful weekend.

Do the fakes have the same beat rate? The co-axial in those has a beat rate of 25,200 bph, or 7 beats per second. That's very unusual and the rep will probably be 28,800 bph like ETAs.

>>14543943
Why pay over inflated prices for the same thing that I can get on Ali for far less?

>>14543968
The fakes do not have the 7 beats per second like the genuine as far as I know.
It does hack and hand wind though.

Yeah. Got one back when they came out. Pretty scratched up now but at least not on the crystal (which be aware is mineral glass on a fucking $500 watch).

>>14543548
I am not a watch expert but isn't the perpetual refers to the calendar which is missing?

>>14543560

Yeah, it looked great on his wrist. It was prominent throughout the entire movie.

>>14544050
"Oyster Perpetual" is just a Rolex trademark or something. Nothing to do with a perpetual calendar.

>>14543859

I love Omega, but Speedies are gross shitters.

>>14544057
Thank you

>>14544023
I would if it wasnt so big

>>14544050
I understand your confusion with the term perpetual.
Usually perpetual is used to discribe perpetual calendar watches, basically watches that can count the months and the leap years, so in theory that watch doesn't need any adjustments.
Rolex calling the watch oyster perpetual, oyster is referring to the case style and the perpetual is talking about the self winding rotor, so in theory that watch is perpetual, it will work forever, doesn't need to be wound.

>>14543737
*makes loud cracking noises*

>>14543985
Probably a chink ETA clone then.

Looks pretty cool but I think there is some excess you could cut off
