You could buy one, maybe two good watches for that to love and appreciate, instead of buying a bunch of shitters.
Unless you're a real collector building a more specific collection, I say less is more. But that's just my opinion. Follow your heart.

>>14613418
Guys Ive bought a watch that was (for me at least) quite expensive. But after I had it shortened to my wrist I realized that it doesnt fit. Its either too small its squishing my arm or too loose so it flies around my wrist. What should I do?

>>14613432
Why do you spend your money on this site you cuck?

>>14613447
>You could buy one, maybe two good watches for that to love and appreciate
Like what any recs?

Thanks family

>>14613451
It costs less than a dollar a month. If it cost one-hundred times as much then maybe you'd have some kind of point. But the answer would be: because I really wuv this website.

>>14613449
Get another bracelet with half links, or buy extra if they have, and micro adjustments if you don't already have it.

>>14613454
Depends on your budget and what type of watch you want.

>>14613463
The micro adjustment has only 2 steps, so it doesnt really help. Where can I fand these half links youre talking about?

>>14613463
just rec something, guy

thoughts?

>>14613517
Good choice but the color ? Not sure.

>>14613517

>>14613427
The Citizen is based. Others are cringe.

>>14613427
Presages are based. All else is trash.

>>14613455
what perks do you get, other than the cuck badge?

I like the look of this but don't want a fashion watch shitter. Anyone got recs ?

>>14613517
Very clean I like it. But not my style.

behead those who insult Breitling

>>14613517
it's a womens watch.

Citizen BM8180-03E

The back of the battery is a solar cell just like that one, but it's made in Japan and not China.

Why do you hate them?

For like $5 total I don't think these ebay straps are half bad.

>>14613729
Because Rolexs are better.

Also I'm not a fucking Nazi so I'm not going to wear German watches.

>>14613737

GMT. I'm wearing with a British Navy NATO strap.

>>14613641
That's a surprisingly good looking watch. If you like it then just get it assuming it's not overpriced

>>14613729
I love Vc but hate the overseas. Ugly bezel, ugly bracelet, better looking competion available. It's just a worse looking 222, which never looked amazing to begin with, but then again I've never been a huge fan of Genta's design language

>>14613418
Is it a bad idea to wear watches/bracelets if you have thin wrists? (As a man.)

>>14613729
it looks ok but why tf did they put a nazi symbol on it?

It's up!

>>14614680

>>14614716
They are relatively subdued when not getting hit directly with light, but you may pair clothing more precisely then me, I wear all my watches with most of the same stuff I always wear, which is just black/white Ts and streetwear (mainly adidas)

Disregarding financial aspects, how many watches is too many? 30? 40? 50? At what point does I have X watches begin to sound like poor discernment or bad taste?

>>14614823
I have 3 Presages and people give me shit. So I guess 2.

>>14614816
Flottur

>>14614879
pls dont call me cute names

Ordered one of these today. I'd been considering it for a long time but then one of my clients showed up wearing one with a Pepsi bezel and I had to do it. I went for basic black though. I usually wear dive watches on a Bond strap like a faggot but I'm thinking about other options this time.

>>14614886
I thought about these for a long time, but haven't pulled the trigger because I have the wrists of a little girl.

>>14614901
I have tiny little 7" wrists and it seemed like an OK size. Right now I'm wearing a Citizen that's slightly smaller and it looks like it could go up a few sizes. Used to have a similar Casio too.

The Seiko turtle is gorgeous in person. Head down to a jewelry story or Macy's and check one out.

>>14614926
I wish casio had kept making that one.

>>14614956
I didn't like it, actually. The domed crystal got scratched on everything and reflected the sun from every angle when you were trying to read the fucking thing. The backlight was a cool idea but that button would hit stuff all the time and ran the battery down. Bought it for $50 and sold it for $75 two years later. I guess it has a big fan following.

The Seiko is going to be my first automatic watch. I hate the idea of mechanical watches being so inaccurate and flimsy, even $6K Rolexes, so I'm stepping out of my comfort zone just because it's basically the perfect looking watch for me.

>>14614696
>old school mickey
cool

>>14614886
If you buy one and end up enjoying it, consider doing a light modification of keeping the bezel insert but chancing the bezel edge to an aftermarket one like a coin edge, as well as modifying the seconds hands to something superior like a C3 lume yobokies second hand designed to imitate the old 1970's turtle lolly pop hands.

I was given an oyster perpetual from the 80s. One of the endlink is missing and no box or papers. Can I send it to rolex for service? Will they accept it? Not sure how it works since my only watch before this is a gshock. I really want to restore it since it belonged to someone important to me.

Possible to get a good automatic watch for under a grand?

just got this AKA in, insane looking

>>14615004

>>14615009
last image I'll post of it right now, the purple variant is really cool, same with red/gold. This was NOS and I like that it looks like a fucked up green under certain light

>>14615004
>>14615009
>>14615014

I can't even tell if that's ugly or beautiful

is there any watch forum that basically uses the format of 4chan? so basically an imageboard. Normal forums are so fucking cumbersome and shitty I don't understand how anyone stomachs or has the patience for them. And I don't want reddit or facebook either

>>14614998

When will the rolex bubble burst? Can't even get a submariner at a local ad. The guy kept shilling me a two-tone datejust. Almost bought an explorer 1 but I don't want to settle.

What is the cheapest watch I can buy that is still of good timekeeping quality?
I want to plan for how much to spend

>>14615229
looks nice but is it really good timekeeping?

The weekend is once more upon us, I hope that we all enjoy it and take some well-deserved time off. This past month has been a little hectic on the professional side, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Onto the last example of my Halios collection: the Seaforth GMT. I bought this piece brand new from Jason when it first came out, and I've held it close like a guarded treasure ever since. If there's once candidate for "that watch" this would be it. Only time will tell I suppose...

Happy Skies to all!

What's your obsession with "Nazi" watches? Do you freak out over people who have Adidas or Puma shoes because those are "Nazi" shoe companies? It makes you look really childish.

>>14615234

What's the best incel watch?

>>14615349
Depressed fat /r9k/ 4chan incel: F-91W or the once with the calculator.
Pretentious douchebag /fa/ incel: Some kind of watch he thinks is fancier than it is. Maybe a Tag Heuer.

>>14615354
how about a snk809? I have one and I'm incel

>>14615355
Not my style but that's a pretty sharp watch. Go out and pound some gash.

>>14615358
The dial layout is like the most efficient ever in terms of reading the time on an analog watch, even with full hour numerals you need a split second to do the x5 calculation for the minutes, not on this dial
Seiko also gives you day and date on their shitters which is pretty good

>>14615369
You learn how to tell the time and pretty soon you don't need to do x5 calculations - you just know instantly based on the location what minutes it is.

Why is it so hard to pull the trigger on a watch? I can't decide on my first luxury watch :(

>>14613418
Which watch is lynch wearing here?

What’s the point of getting into watches and saving for a Rolex when some nigger is just gonna one-up you every time?

I gotta get a hobby that actually involves some element of skill

>>14615701
First of all
>Rolex
Also, that variety of people are in every hobby and will ruin the next one as soon as they hear of it. Get used to it.

>>14615710
Yeah but in something like archery, “high end” is like a $1500 bow. Jay Z can buy some diamond encrusted longbow but it won’t make him good

Watches are a fucking trash hobby and I hate that I’m obsessed with them

>>14615652
you paid 15k for that atrocity?

>>14615716
Well they're different types of hobbies anon, one requires a skill. But I can assure you there's some of them in Archery as well. Just look at golf.

>>14615701
I'm pretty sure most celebrities """watch collectors""" are just people with a lot of money amd nothing to do with them. Sure there are some who appreciate the art of watchmaking, but most of the time it comes down to "ayo this shit's shiny and expensive, gotta buy it to flex on these niggas". Do these people need 17 different daytonas? Fuck no. Do they even know what makes a daytona a daytona? Hell if they know, it has jewels on it and says rolex. Same reason Patek, AP, RM and Rolex watches are so popular. They cost a fortune and so they become a flex piece. And watch companies bathe in this shit, they know the only reason they create certain pieces are for retards like Drake to drop 1mil on them.

>>14615701
so your main goal is to be (((better))) than niggers?

>>14615716
To me, watches are a part of fashion. You are treating them like something else. Do you stop caring about shoes just because someone could purchase nicer shoes than you? To me, that's not how it works.

>>14615722
Also, makes no difference to me if I can appreciate my 40€ vintage Orient SHITTER more than JayZ appreciates his RM

I just love how these newcomer brands always go on and on about environmentalism but then they use parts from 5 different asian countries and assemble it in china no matter the product.

>>14615701
RM makes pieces exclusively for celebrities and simply gifts it to them. Any hollywood wrist is basically ad space to them.
But you're right about the watch hobby. Owning something isn't a skill.

>>14613427
> Posted every thread
> Still full of utter trash
Why?

What’s the watch company that people can find the least wrong with? Rolex - workhorse type movements at haute horology price, Seiko sells shitters, etc, what watch is hater proof?

>>14613729
> Pros
Great movement with "holy trinity" level of finishing.
Comes with three easily changeable strap types for all occasions. Rubber, leather and metal. The metal one also includes inbuilt expanders.
150m water resistance.
> Cons
The dials are too plain and boring especially compared to the competition (no tapisserie etc)
Most people prefer the earlier generation Overseas generation designs.
The prices are too high and don't forget the usual bad VC resale value.

Should I? Need something cheap for an everyday beater. I know the ray ii is a better dive watch but I just like the look.

>>14615892
For the price, casio.

>>14615892
Tell anyone you have a Rolex and they will know you have a nice watch.
> workhorse type movements
Well if you mean some of the most reliable, resilient and accurate mechanical movements available then sure.

>>14615897
Rolexes are fashion watches bought for the case
Quartz datejusts and subs sold for a 20% discount would sell better than automatics

>>14615877
It's not supposed to be a skill, just an interest.

>>14615899
> Rolexes are fashion watches
All watches are fashion and status symbols. They are basically jewellery no matter how you spin it.

>>14615893
222 <3

>>14615899
> Quartz datejusts and subs sold for a 20% discount would sell better than automatics
If that were true these would still be around.

>>14615908
Agreed but that’s the knock on them they’re a normie brand
The most hater proof watch brand is probably JLC

>>14615912
Normies don't even know who JLC are. Rolex are what normies aspire too own and if they ever do manage to buy one they feel like they've made it in life.

>>14615911
Automatic was dying across the board when they tried quartz
If they made quartz now decades later they would print money

Hello ladies and gents. I am helping a dear friend of mine with finding her a nice ladies watch. She likes white, blue and rose gold. It has to be automatic, no quartz watch will do and at least 5 ATM water resistance. Budget is anywhere up to 1000$.
I am wearing my fairly old and due to work quite beat up Orient Ray II Raven (pic related).
Thanks in advance!

>>14615916
>If they made quartz now decades later they would print money
Bullshit.

I hate the retards in these threads who want Rolexes to be accessible just because they are salty they can't get the model they want.
I can assure that if everyone had the same model you lust for, you wouldn't want it anymore. You want to ruin your own fun.

>>14615920
That's a shit watch for a lady. Get her a lady's DateJust or a LONGJEANS

>>14615894
Go for it. The sea urchin is a gateway drug tho

>>14615924
I can get the ones I like, OP/Datejust/Day Date 36 sorry sports fags (I like some Tudors too)

Do you guys think the dive style dial on this is weird?
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/79500/

>>14615928
Then you are not the person that post was referring to, obviously.

>>14615924
There is certainly some truth to that. People want those watches that everyone else wants. However those watches are legitimately good watches *at retail prices*

For example the new Pepsi GMT is a damn fine watch for list price but paying over twice the MSRP for one on the grey market is retarded. You can get a brand new AP RO for that price.

>>14615934
I agree, which is why I think people should do a lot more research before they find a watch they want to buy, exploring other brands. Or else they'll just end up disappointed when they can't get their Pepsi GMT or Nautilus, and will have to settle. Buy a watch you actually want, all the while keeping an eye for those "special" models if a good deal arises.

>>14615934
People should just wear homages of oversubscribed Rolexes, fuck it
get a Parnis Batman or something

>>14615959
cringe, just get another watch

>>14615929
The dive dial is okay, I think they're trying to fill the niche of the 36mm explorer. The hands are fucking ugly though.

36mm LLD anon you're still here? Do you still like your watch?

>>14615910
wow.

the older design really did look better.

i like the double nazi cross.

1. search instagram for a watch you have
2. find a wrist the size of yours based on how the watch fits
3. go to the ig watch guy's page for other watches he has to size them compared to your wrist

foolproof?

>>14615983
The 222 is a work of art, I love it, but I also don't dislike the new one.

>>14615984
Is there any reason why you can't just go to a store and try on the watch??

>>14615990
I can't go to a store and talk to a sales clerk.

I have crippling social anxiety.

>>14615984
1. Go to a boutique and try it on in person while being pampered by some thot.
Foolproof?
Also, Omega boutique thots are the best in the scene, change my mind.

>>14615738
Sinn, Guinand, Speedy, GS, Fortis, Marathon, mostly the "not-really-luxury" stuff, as well as the vintage stuff like Heuer Bundeswehr. As soon as it's Rolex-tier it's fucked. So it's really pointless to buy watches since all the good ones have zero brand recognition and respect.

>>14615993
all the boutiques in my area are staffed by old chinese men with fancy suits that look bad on them wearing watches like breguet (larping as blue blood)

>>14615727
>Do you stop caring about shoes just because someone could purchase nicer shoes than you? To me, that's not how it works.
It literally does though. I just buy whatever $10 shoes there are on the Chinese market.

>>14616000
Ouch, that sucks. For me the boutique thots are a highlight of the experience.

>>14616005
I've only been to mall boutiques the standalone ones on posh streets probably have hot chicks but I've never gone in, I don't like being pitched to and I feel sorry for looking and not buying

>>14616005
I agree. Pretty much every AD or boutique (of non-shitters) I've been too is staffed by hot women who want to serve and/or guy watch nerds that even the most hikki of /wt/ could talk to about the most anal of details.

>>14616011
That's the wrong mindset man. Trust me, I've been to many boutiques and I still haven't picked my first luxury watch to buy. They don't care if you're not buying and they're not used car salesman who try get you to buy some random shit. They are trained to be pleasant and make you feel relaxed. You can also talk watches with them and it's always fun, you'll have better conversations than on here lol. Just go in, say hi and ask about a watch you like from them. Believe me it's fun.
>>14616016
Exactly. I always go into a boutique if I'm out and pass by one.

>>14616016
this boutique dude told me Blancpain is on a similar level as Patek
it's awkward when you both know he's lying but it's a canned pitch
he also downplayed Rolex but if the store sold it that's the first thing he'd try to sell

>>14615716
>Watches are a fucking trash hobby
Watches are not a hobby, they are a fashion statement. A few might be considered collectable.
The only time watches (or clocks) become a hobby is when you actually make/modify/repair those watches.
But, you can get into semantic arguments about the meaning of words.
Some folks call smoking tobacco or drinking wine, or collecting porn, a "hobby".
To each his own, everyone needs an obsession of some sort.

>>14615652
It's so . . . plain.

>>14616026
You should have embarrassed him with your knowledge then. He probably gave you the canned spiel because he thought you were some random retard who knows nothing about watches. If you started talking about the subject more I'm sure he would have changed attitudes. That's why I ask for a watch I like from the particula

>>14616026
Well obviously the solo boutiques are going to pitch their own product especially if the sales person gets commission. But that's true of any brand store and not just for watches. Some are better than others though. I've had great talks with staff in JLC and Patek about watches from other brands.

>>14616035
Fuck, why did it post.

That's why I ask about a watch I like from that particular brand as soon as I start the conversation. It lets them know you know at least something about watches.

>>14615722
pic related.
there's a science to separating people from their $$$.

>>14615793
I'd get the one on the right, if it had the full color Mickey. It seems more casual to me. (not that there's such a thing as a formal Mickey Mouse watch, but, whatevs.

>>14615793
Why would you want to be associated with an evil megacorporation?

>>14616036
I'd probably feel better about window shopping if I had a luxury watch on, I only have a shitter rn

>>14616041
I think you're giving these people more credit than they deserve. They already have status, they don't need to supplement it with anything.

>>14616056
Don't worry about that bro, trust me. Don't flex a watch, flex your knowledge about watches. You're missing out.

>>14616056
I may get an Apple Watch soon (as a tech piece not because it's a great watch) and I could def march into any AD with that, strikes fear into their hearts

my only watch is an SNK809 I got as a gift
the sandblast finish looks super cheap, if I at least had an SKX I'd be showing it off to anyone

>>14616119
Just get a Daniel Wellinton. It's a pure-bred dress what that goes perfectly with white sneakers and a slim fit camelhair coat. On top of that, the watch's iconic design and luxury pedigree will impress most women.

How much did you pay for yours? They recently started to pop up again on ebay but not sure if it's worth the price.

>>14616134
It was a gift so I'm not sure, around €150-200.

>>14616106
Honestly, you never know. People like Sabbat lurk on here sometimes-

I would literally be fine with wearing two to three RM-00's for the rest of my life its so horologically beautiful.

>>14616127
High class thots will be disgusted. The thots you want are all up on that ROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEX

>>14616139
Who is Sabbat?

>>14616139
RM aren't particularly well made. Even mid-tier HH brands have better movements, finishing and materials. However RM have god-tier marketing and know their audience extremely well.

>>14616143
Lukka Sabbat this Instagram model dude- Alright fits, whether you like him or not. but self admitted /fa/ browser.

>>14616144
>their audience
>[random rap nigger] has a watch that costs 500k so I need to buy a watch that costs 1M

>>14616144
You're talking out of your ass. RM has godly shock absorption and the movements are spectacular. Lurk Hodinkee moar.

>>14616146
Is pic related the admission or has he stated it somewhere?
Very cool, didn't know that.

>>14616151
With RM you are paying $250k for a $30-40k watch. The rest is pure marketing and hype.

How long would it take to beat up a shitter to this degree?
https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FK1W7FrOy/
it's strangely /fa/

>>14616144
I mean from what I can tell it seems pretty strenuous process the building of the movements and the casing or just designing the whole functionality within that box, they do a lot with it. there isnt anything like an RM on the market.

I'm going to shill them until A: I die or B: by god's grace I happen to save up enough to buy one w/o killing myself

>>14616188
So just like any other Swiss watch maker. RM are basically Hublot with a better marketing team.

>go to AD
>heh, sorry, we don't discount this watch
>msrp only

what the fuck

>>14616198
You cannot compare an RM to an Average or even High-end Hublolt. It's just not the same. You know this.

>>14616215
I'm more surprised that they have model shots of Hamilton

>>14616215
Why would you expect a discount on something that cheap and is guaranteed to sell?

>>14616216
Speaking as someone who has seen up close many Hublot and Richard Mille there really isn't that much difference. RM are designed to be fuck off huge, "exclusive limited editions" and extremely visible displays of wealth for an audience who want something to be that blatant and seemingly complex to impress plebs. Sure they have used some interesting materials in certain models but not enough to justify their price tags.

>>14616227
Bruh are you a child? It's a luxury item, of course it's gonna cost. No product in the world is gonna have cost=price, not even your groceries, jesus christ...

>>14616241
Who said anything about cost price?

The margin on a typical watch will be around 30-50%. RM is several hundred percent.

>>14616246
>not enough to justify their price tags
Margin depends on the brand and the product. You're buying exclusivity how is that so hard to understand? You are buying membership into an exclusive group (the watch Nadal wears etc.). How old are you?

>>14616227
The price tag is a lot of the audience and the complexity- but on average Hublot does not pay attention to the detail and spend the thousands of hours that RM takes to build and design- That's why it is more desirable and considered to be above Hublot.

Hublot rehashes the big bang every year- (which is practically a rip off Daytona) and every year and takes out a part of the watch, makes it a skeleton, etc. Bad Rose gold & black strap = Profit

>Well RM does that also

RM's arent put out at the pace of Hublot, One is taking the same design and making it better- re-inventing it with every other movement that they could design to fit in the watch and the other is Rerelasing the same thing over and over- To compare one with the other is Ridiculous

>>14616250
His point is valid. They're charging over a million dollars for products that cost far less than 100k to make.

>>14616262
No shit?

>>14616256
Why should I buy Richard Mille over a Ressence, Ulysse Nardin, Greubel Forsey or Franck Muller? They have an aesthetic, but beyond that no USP except muh F1 forged carbon.
Convert me.

>>14616265
How is that any different than paying a million dollars for a log of shit because it's an exclusive brand?

>>14616262
Exactly. Those that buy RM want to make it obvious they are wearing a $1m dollar watch. Most in /wt/ would look at something like a rare Patek perpetual minute repeater or a custom made Vacheron.

>>14616267
Because you can, as a show of wealth.
>>14616273
If celebrities, or people you look up to bought it, you would.

You two idiots are in the wrong thread. How young do you have to be to not understand what a luxury item is?

>>14616277
I understand what a REAL luxury item is. This fake marketing driven, manufactured "luxury" built on lies is difficult to grasp.

>>14616284
>I understand but [says something that makes it obvious he didn't understand]
Ok bub.

>>14616274
I would almost consider it more of a "flex" IMO to spend that money that it takes to get an RM into something that a lot of people wouldn't know you would spent that money on it. Only TRUE WATCH LADS would stop you and talk and appreciate your watch, But hey... what do I know? I don't have one.

>>14616267
I would basically say some of the points I made up there- I think they are just a perfect balance of a sporty but simple, Complex but not Obnoxious. You should buy a Richard Mille if you TRULY appreciate horology- If you are someone who is hypnotized by the complexities of the movement and the research and decision making they made with every. single. thing. down to the tiniest of screws. And for me i just think thats what it's about.

>>14616277
But the options I listed can get as expensive as an RM, throw in some other names like A. Lange & Sohn, Julien Coudray, etc etc and I don't see why I'd buy an RM over them... But then maybe by choosing I'm not thinking like a hereditary billionaire...
Just FYI I do like RMs a lot, but not to your extent.

>>14616290
Me neither lol, I'm not saying RM is worth the price tag. I'm saying it's up to the buyer to decide if it's worth the price tag. It's not an objective truth or an absolute.

>>14616288
I mean I can understand why niggers would pay a million bucks for a rm but I can't understand why anyone with class or taste would.

>>14616295
Go and watch a watchfinder video about them.

But if i was a jannie I'd move this thread to /trash/, where it rightfully belongs

>>14616299
I've seen all their videos. Rm aren't worth a million bucks it's all a carefully manufactured marketing scam. The first handful of celebrities to own them were probably in on it.

>>14616308
For a long time, watchmaker was the equivalent of a nuclear scientist. They were some of the most technologically advanced products on the planet.
Iirc albert einstein, in hindsight wished to be a watchmaker.

>>14616310
Again with that word. Worth. This proves to me that you are either <18 years old, or have the mental capacity of an eggplant. Who decides what an product is worth? The buyer.
Don't bother replying to this post, this is the last (You) from me.

You don't seem to be capable of distinguishing actual worth from bullshit manufactured worth for retards. Using your logic justin beibers hair clippings are actually worth thousands.

It's not a scam it's simply very successful marketing. However I wouldn't be surprised if in not that many years time the hype vanishes and their prices collapse.

>>14616325

i looked too poor.

>>14615195
It's not a Rolex bubble. It's a steel sport watch bubble. The demand has exploded far faster than the brands could have expected. It can take many years to change the manufacturing pipeline to increase production for a particular model(s). The amount of GMT or Daytona's to make was likely decided upon several years ago.

What do you think of this accuracy? Tissot Powermatic 80 non-COSC shitter.

>>14616359
You must look like a fucking unwashed hobo for that to be true.

To make more money? They are also losing potential customers because they can't buy they watches they want so they are buying from other brands. AD's are pissed off because they can't sell watches and have no stock to put in empty store windows.

>>14616418
There are 125+ million available steel Rolex watches to buy right now.

>>14616422
Those who want a steel sports but settle for something else will inevitably regret their decision, sell whatever shitter they bought at a loss, and start saving again for a rolex

>Normies don't even know who JLC are.
Eh, it's well enough known among people who have ever looked at watches. My mate and I used to drool over Breitling and JLC watches before. Now granted, they're not as easily recognizable as a Rolex if recognition from others is what you're after, but if you can dig the watches, I'm sure you'll enjoy owning one. I can definitely dig the Superocean Heritage and the Polaris, but the Emergency watches just scream Cerwin-Vega and Vodka Red Bull.

>>14616522
That's exactly what it means so what's your point?

>>14616457
You’ll know when you get older.

>>14616538
> it's well enough known among people who have ever looked at watches
which is still a small part of the public which by definition doesn't make them normies.

>>14616832
I don't know, man.
First off, I think you're underestimating normies. You don't think everyone has had a "dude, what if you was fucking loaded?" conversation and sorted most anything by price: high?
Second, wouldn't you rather get watch mires from someone who knows or cares about what it is you have, rather than someone whose only responses are "what you pay for that?" and "you paid that much for a watch?" no matter what it is? If you find a watch you like and rock it, do you really need anything from someone whose chief accomplishment is buying a Rolex without noticing any of the other expensive watches in the store.
Though I can definitely get behind wanting a Rolex. Absolute classic pieces, signs of having made it, as someone mentioned above, and almost certain to maintain or appreciate in value, should you have to sell it.

>>14616998
>he's so poor he thinks Rolexes are sold in stores with other watches

>>14617029
I would have to order one to my AD, which carries a number of other watches, should I want a new one.
Do you have a boutique near you, or do you buy your watches on the internet?

If you don't even have a VINTAGE Rolex you shouldn't be allowed to post here.

>>14617029
My closest Rolex AD sells Patek, Tudor, Tag, and Breitling, too

Next watch?

Black bay 58
New omega seamaster
Reverso med small seconds
El primero 38mm

Really thinking about the black bay 58, I like a no date. Reverso probably balance the collection out the best.

No rolex, I'm not buying at the prices right now and buying at retail is not happening. I think I'm to young for one, people would think its fake.

>>14616289
Unironically liking Richard Mille is pure cringe, /b/ro. If I had that kind of money I'd rather have a Phillipe Dufour, Romain Gauthier or Parmigiani Fleurier.

Sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't. I think in person it can be hard to read (more so for the blue dial over the black, white is easy to read) it need more lume on the hands. I'd rather have a quick set date, the model with the 6 o'clock date is better balanced. The lines on the dial put me off, the grow on me for a while. I'd rather it didn't have the polished middle links.

It's a nice watch and if you like it fair enough. It's a great every day watch but for the money I'd pick a new seamaster (waves on the daily are softer on the eye) or a speedy, explore, reverso.

2 Presages is too many, it's because you bought 3 of them! I wouldn't buy 1 personally

>>14614823
Depends on the watches. 50 Pateks will be drooled over. 50 Casio or Seikos will be laughed at.

>>14617197
those look great, but they look so fragile I would be scared to wear it and knock it against my doorframe or something

>>14617245
You'd never wear it. It's basically an ornament to look at. Personally I'd want something I could wear that's ultra classy. A George Daniels would be a grail. Dufour maybe but his watches are surprisingly small.

>>14617176
I honestly don't see the point of these threads.

new thread when?

>>14617255
If I had that kind of money, I would. I know Ronaldo has a Jacob & Co., but then again, he's got the kind of fuck you-money to do it. Suppose Nadal could do it too, since he doesn't seem to sweat losing a Richard Mille or two in the locker room.

>>14617302
Did Ronaldo or Nadal actually lose a Mille in the locker room?

>>14617340
I believe I read that Nadal lost one of his, let me see if I can't find the article again.

>>14617340
>>14617355
Found it.
>According to Perrotta, Nadal has lost two Richard Mille watches that were stolen (one was later recovered) and nearly lost a third when a fellow player found one in a locker room.
businessinsider
.com/rafael-nadal-richard-mille-watch-2015-6?
Ronaldo has been wearing a few Jacob & Co watches.

Richard Mille is 100% marketing. Literally, the guy studied marketing before he ever even got into watchmaking. They have no value outside of that. All the stories about futuristic engineering and performance materials is all manufactured puffery.
