>only post watches that fucking suck
Wow what a great thread.

>>14610256
Sorry gonna drop some Hamilton watches since I've been looking at 2 models in particular. Pic related is something more casual and sporty to wear, and...

>>14610423
Pic related would a more dress up watch, going out or wearing nicer clothes. Both Hamilton first one costs $600 and pic related is like 1.2k

Is there anything that even approximates the beauty of Patek Philippe that doesn't cost 50k+? I have maybe 10k at most to spend.

>>14610500

>>14610625
thats a nice cope, friend.

>>14610629
Triggers me so bad, that's why I don't normally post in these threads. Truly ugly. I like Patek Philippe. But I can't afford a nice one so they trigger me too. Yes, I am retarded. But you are more retarded for thinking Rolex don't look unstylish and classless.

>>14610511
No. It doesn't.

>>14610570
This have me epilepsy

>>14610263
I used to have one of these, it's an excellent watch. In terms of construction, accuracy, and finish it is an excellent watch.

I owned one for over two years, but my love for the watch was always lukewarm. Once again, the watch is high quality, but the dial design was too generic for my tastes. The indices and hands just reminded me of Nixon. I always felt like I was wearing a very high quality Nixon. Bleh

>>14610629
I keep thinking that the watch dial is too cluttered with text, and the Rolex text on the inside of the bezel is too cluttered, maybe even a bit tacky, but on wrist shots it doesn't look that apparent. What is your take on it? Is it more a thing where the joy of owning one overshadows it, or am I just overly worried about it for no good reason?
Definitely gonna see about trying one on when next time I go into the city.

>>14613353
The text on the dial has always been a part of the Rolex aesthetic. It was just a way to list specs/trademarks back when they were actually tool watches. Collectors go crazy over all the different dial variations and differences in the text are a part of that. Even the modern hulk has 4 dial variations.

>>14613147
What’s wrong with it

>>14611061
This watch sucks. It's supposed to be angled so that it's easy to read when you're driving but you need to take your hand off the wheel to push the button just to check the time.
Why not put a accelerometer in it to automatically turn on when you lift your wrist?

There's something so comfy about this watch.

Why does it have 1/5 seconds instead of 1/4?

>>14610618
i have the middle one bro, i like it. diver is okay, i think open heart is kinda tacky on a lower tier watch. but i really like the red finish on those dials.

>>14611246
anon, if you find a good one that fits, please post it in this general for me. my spooky watch strap also broke and the leather replacement one i bought from swatch doesn't fit it (too wide).

>>14613360
Regardless of what collectors think, I still think it's fair to say that it isn't aesthetically pleasing (at least not to me).

I bought a Rolex for work when I was younger and really disliked it. At least it held it's value enough for me to sell it and buy a Calatrava. Perhaps I just have a thing for simplicity.

>>14613530
Agreed. My fav watch of all time.

I see, maybe it'll grow on me. They are undeniably beautiful watches, and while it's by no means going to stop me from getting one at some point, I just can't dig the text right now. Maybe I just need to get more into the "tool watch" mindset? The Hulk is absolutely beautiful, and I wouldn't mind one to put some color into my collection.

It's literally supposed to be like that so you can read the time with your hand at the wheel dude.

OP here....you hit the nail on the head.

>>14615051
>It's literally supposed to be like that so you can read the time with your hand at the wheel dude.
It's designed like that to look cool. You clearly can't use it well while driving.

I got banned from r/watches for calling the mods a bunch of cunts and telling them I hoped their families got cancer.

cos I'm a poorfag i can't afford a real rollie dj, i like the look of it, it's accurate therefore works, i'm happy with it cos if it gets scratched at work it wont be a big deal. any problem?

Just steer with your knees while you check the time, bro.

did they ever make one of these without a taachyometer? I'd love a slimmed down 37mm one

I guess you could look at vintage De Ville models.

Does anyone actually use a chronograph? I mean honestly?

>>14616196
I use my Giugiaro for cooking, and timing my watch movement cleaning machine.

I seriously came to appreciate diver-style chronos now, with the ability to time one thing with the stopwatch complication and another with the rotating bezel.

>>14616221
Same. I use my chrono every second day or so for cooking

>>14616228
>>14616221
I wish I could use my Speedy for cooking, if I spill anything on it it's over :(

>>14616331
>>14616196
>>14616221

I uses my speedy for cooking everyday, smoking ribs for 6-8hrs, you can splash it like! It does have 30m with is shower levels.

>>14616458
With omegas policy of throwing customers under the bus I wouldn't be comfortable getting a speedy splashed while under warranty.
>we couldn't find anything wrong so we're not covering this water damage under warranty.
Hell is there a single example anywhere of omega fixing a speedy for water damage under warranty?

>>14616458
What if I splash oil on it and the plastic melts though.

>>14616484
>>14616503

Well if I'm frying food I'll take it off, oil goes everywhere. It's a £4k watch so I don't splash it, more oven and slow cooking timing is done, idk if I'd go swimming with my sub even honestly, just put the g shock or skx on.

Sorry OP, just bought a Seiko to replace my Citizen, which replaced my Casio.

What makes watches so interesting? They're useless fucking things, nobody is even gonna notice your watch 99% of the time.

>>14616709
You’ll know when you get older.

>>14616744
How old do I have to be? I'm 28 and I still don't get it. They cost a small fortune and they're completely useless.

>>14613147
And it's like 44mm looks like a power rangers royal oak/octofinnisimo rip off

I'm sending my watch out next year to get some custom art work on the dial. It'll probably be out a while so I need ideas for cheap as fuck sub 100$ watches to occupy my wrist because I can't not have a watch on. Ideas? I was thinking this Casio edifice looks clean and unoffensive enough.

>>14617690
I dont think so- Just because its complex doesn't mean that it is JUST meant to be loud and useless.

You are paying for the craftsmanship and the time it took to make, plan and build it AND the complexity.

>>14617712
The company was started by a business and marketing guy. RM is essentially Daniel Wellington for multi-millionaires.

The watches are designed to look complicated when in reality they really aren't and are simply standard skeleton movements with some extra bling.

>>14617551
one of the best diver watch designs of all time. I recommend an uncle Seiko waffle strap, super high quality and gives it that retro look of the original turtle. I don't even like big watches but it wears smaller.

bought a king Seiko to replace my sarb035 which I can't find

I have a feeling it may have dropped off my desk into my bin and I accidentally threw it out D:

quite liking the king Seiko though. don't know what I'm going to do if the band breaks. the lug width looks like it's 16mm or something which will look weird if I got a leather or something. the bracelet at least comes in wide at the case

I have a strong feeling my nephew or niece may have bumped it off my desk by accident into my bin and on bin collection day I must've thrown it out not realizing it was in there

not that it necessarily has to match, but I'm wearing pic related (black shoes, belt) on my wedding day and my gf says she'll get a watch for me- so it'd be nice to choose something to wear on our day.


what's something stylish for a small-wristed guy? 38mm will not work for me. 36 looks like the limit. cleaner the better if possible.

>anything with LCD, I don't give a fuck about your Bin Laden F19w or whatever, that shit is ugly as hell and not acceptable not even when worn ironically, nobody likes that shit (only acceptable if you're wearing it because you're a construction worker, sewer maintenance technician, or manure showeler).

>>14617921

how much do you think choice of watch or brand of watch should reflect lifestyle?

eg I'm sure owning a Rolex as a retail worker would be gooberish.

what's your main watch and your most expensive watch? and what do you do for a living?

>>14618377
Owning a Rolex makes you look like a nouveau riche nigger no matter what. Besides unless you're genuinely a filthy richfag nobody is going to believe it's an original. I think most people with normal office jobs are better off with actual shitters as long as they look good (stuff like DW or Skagen or whatever). I've literally heard my colleague getting complimented for a piece of shit DW that costed less than 100€ on Amazon.

I honestly don't like those so I usually wear mid tier horology brands, I personally love Tissot and Seiko the most because they're good brands with high reputation among normies and lots of heritage and high quality especially in the 500€+ range. If you're in an executive position you can go to high end brands like Omega. I would avoid haute horologerie unless you're an actual richfag, but then again when you're that rich it doesn't really matter. I am not an executive but I hope to buy an Omega DeVille sooner or later.

Anyway avoid smart watches, fitbits, and shit like that, it makes you look like a fucking tool and a social media addicted faggot. Those are never ever acceptable.

>>14618394
>mid tier horology brands
Worst possible choice.
>high end brands like Omega

>>14618398
>Worst possible choice
Why? Great price\quality ratio and appreciated by normies.
>Oof.
The executives in the company I work for mostly wear Omega automatic chronographs on a daily basis. I've seen the CEO wear a Tag Heuer once but he makes like 50k euros on a bad month.

You sound like a fake snob who only owns jap shitters to me.

>>14618404

Only rich niggers unironically wear Rolex. These watches are only bought as an investment or collector piece. If you see someone wear Rolex is 99.8% a fake, but you can't tell because they're indistinguishable from the real thing.

Are you really that fucking dumb you can't remember that 13 comes after 12 and so on? I can understand some special kind of brainlet wanting 5-10-15 because fuck multiplication tables right, it's not like we learnt this shit in preschool or anything, but 13-14-15 is on a whole other level of fucking braindead retardation. If you're older than 12 it's not acceptable to have anything other than numeric indexes on your watch. I don't give a fuck if it's a Rolex or whatever, it's not acceptable, end of story.

A cheap watch is not necessarily a bad watch for its value, if it keeps time and don't break. But it's worth fuck all. If it breaks it may not even be worth repairing. And there's not much reselling value.
Archie's point is, if you're interested in luxury/high end watches, buy good shit you really want and don't waste money buying a bunch of shitters.

>>14618705

It's wasn't that long ago I was like you anon. Just another dirt poor /g/ lurker that joined the right company and got lucky with stock options. I always liked watches, bought the usual shitters. But now I can fund my hobby to buy what I've always wanted. So never give up hope, you never know what will happen in the future.

>>14618705
Fun fact. The watches in that old collection image are now worth about $150k more than what I paid for them. Most of that is due to the AP's and PP 5711R (which has almost doubled in grey market resale price). I could almost stop working and just live off watch buying & selling.

I've never bought a watch purely to make money on it. If I was I'd never have bought any brand new Vacheron or Lange's since they lose 20% the instant you slap them on your wrist.

There is only one watch that is 100% guaranteed to make you money (eventually) and that would be any kind of Patek Perpetual Calendar. Slightly over your 30k budget though. Buying watches as an investment is *incredibly hard* to do successfully. All I've done is buy second hand watches I personally like *and* that I think are at a great price.

For example that yellow gold Royal Oak. A solid YG watch was the last thing I ever though I'd wear but I saw it in a local AD's window and it 'popped'. I was curious, went inside and tried it on. Fell in love with it instantly and the AP built quality and finishing is stunning. The AD said "It's sat in my window for months. Even though it's an unworn brand new model RO no one wants yellow gold any more which is why I'm giving 25% off retail price". For that kind of deal I took it. 12 months later that watch is impossible to obtain and demand for it is nuts. Grey market prices is at least 33% over MSRP last time I checked. That's over $15k profit already and I suspect it'll only go up.

So tl'dr simply buy what you like and would wear daily. If you buy at good brand at a good price you can't really go wrong so start off looking at pre-owned / second hand. There is only one watch I've ever bought that was over the MSRP.

---

If you want some /biz/ level advice then some watches I think could do well in the future then the white dial + orange hand Milgauss and Explorer II. I can certainly see those watches being in high demand in the future. Personally not my thing though.

>>14618793
I was expecting stocks advice lol. Yeah I'm not gonna flip watches because I lack the capital.
You got me curious, which watch did you get that was above MSRP?

>>14618798
I never made my money in stocks. Stock options are shares I got in a startup that did *very* well.

> which watch did you get that was above MSRP
The 154000ST blue dial Royal Oak - boutique only edition. Think I paid $4k over list for it. It was a watch I always wanted and I still thought the price was good. On the grey market it now goes for $10-12k over list price since that model is no longer produced.

>>14618803
Would sharing the name of your company be too much for you? I want to look it up.
Well that RO is really pretty IMO so you did well.

>>14618041
i had mine on a blushark NATO and I prefer the waffle, it's not thicc and good for sweat. also NATOs put more tension on the springbars, not a fan of that.

>>14618807
I'd rather not. I actually had solicitations for money when a particular FCC filing was made listing major share holders and I'm pretty sure a break-in at my (now old) address listed on that document. So you can guess I'm kind of careful about that kind of thing.

>>14618731
what makes a watch a shitter? fine anything around $100 probably is but if its above that price point i think its subjective. is there really a consensus on what qualities makes a watch a shitter?

>>14618813
I understand. You can never be too careful anon so good for you.

>>14618827
Anything that Archibald Chesterfield III declares to be a shitter is a shitter

>>14618367
How fucking big is that watch? It looks like a movie prop.

>>14618837
It looks like an Omega Ploprof to me. So it'll be something like 55x48mm. Sure if you actually go deep sea diving it has its use but as a casual, fuck that. It's an ugly tank of metal on the wrist.

>>14618434
A lot of my clients wear Rolexes. They're all white dudes in their 50s-60s. Dentists, bankers, etc. Had a girlfriend who bought herself one as a 30th bday present too. Although she did have dark skin (Asian.)

>>14618861
I hate women who wear subs

>>14618811
I've had a few instances where something crashed into my watch and knocked a spring bar loose. Would have lost the watch if it wasn't on a NATO.

What does slash effay think about my watch?

>>14618880
it could use some love

>>14618875
They hate you too

>>14618888
but I hate them more. checked

Protip: Society as a whole doesn't care as much about your watch as you do. Talk like "You've gotta own a... for people to take you seriously" is just masturbation. Wear a watch you like and doesn't look like total shit.

>>14618875
I learned to deal with it dating a 42yo Asian who made close to six figures and did hard anal and deepthroat. Bitch was a psychopath though.

it depends what kind of asian.

>>14618902
Any, really.

>>14618811
The thickness of the keepers kind of turned me off. I'm considering a Bonetto 300D waffle strap (cause no buckle/keepers) but the band itself is fucking thick.

>>14618897
>>14618902
She was a trash jungle Asian. But those people have a great sense of humor and don't take themselves seriously like the Chinese.

>>14618879
I get that but I think its due to the tension that the NATO puts on a watch that spring bars come off anyway. I've never seen a watch spring bar come off on a regular strap. that's why everytime someone's watch gets "saved" it's on a NATO and gets praised. but thats just my opinion.

Thoughts?

>>14618705
>that blue dial Royal Oak
I muh'd do hard that I dick'd.
And the fucking prices on it now, good goddamn, that's absolutely obscene. Still, it's so stunning that I'd almost consider adding a few ten thousands more to my house loan.

That gentleman appears to be of African American descent and appears to be running, presumably from police, after a theft while wearing the stolen goods on his wrist. Many such cases.

>>14619305

>>14619532
Lucky that he joined the right startup but you need a certain level of skills to even be able to join one.

>>14619596
I think he built it, you don't just join a startup.

>>14619333
A lottery I had to work damn hard to earn at position at. Thanks for the butthurt envy though. You can always rely on /wt/ for that.

>>14619601
> you don't just join a startup.
Of course you can. They hire just like any other firm but usually with a higher level of secrecy, especially in Silicon Valley. I wasn't a founder but my employee id was a single digit. I ended up the lead developer for the core platform.

>>14619618
Do you mog the scrawny nerd developers with your Chad watches?

>>14619626
I've never met any other developer into watches so they wouldn't know the difference between a Tudor or a Tissot and dgaf what I wear.

It's also hard to mog on some random guy in a meeting wearing jeans and a creased tshirt wearing a $250 Apple Watch when you know he's worth more than $500m.

Sales and Pre-Sales guys though. They love their watches and always try to one-up each other.

>>14619645
Are you the Chad of the office? Your arms look pretty thick from your pics.

I can't even begin to think about getting another watch, just graduated myself!

>>14619794
RM watches push technological boundaries in horology for sure, they aren't just "made to look complicated"

whether they are worth the price or not is not for you or me to decide because we can't fucking afford them

Rat 1 is urban gentry
Rat 2 is bark n jack

Lol he sits on oris and then complains they didn't fly him out business class, leave to play the game, I dont see Patek flying him out anywhere anytime soon.

Nice dress watch big boi, high class fat pig, sucking lady boi dick

you are fucking dense m8. the guy has some serious mental issues

If you're retarded enough to accidently throw out a $400 watch you shouldn't own a $400 watch or anything for $400.

>>14619274
Since on this image? I know the girl but is this from a different video?

>>14620135
It's not hard to grasp...... if you really think its satire that is. He says it's a character but there is no difference in personality form his other channels.

He is a bad actor and that's how he really is, you are the one who can't grasp it. Hes trying to be satire but fails and you think hes doing a good job, you fucking retard.

>>14620145
>>14620158
Prime example of what a good actor Archie is, he definitely got these two believing that the bumbling fool Paul Pluta is a real person

>>14620145
>>14620184
He isn't mentally ill or an actor, he's Australian.

>>14620184
paul pluta is a real person you dumb faggot thats his actual name.
i would be genuinely concerned you have serious autism if you cant see he has actual mental issues at this point

It's the same fucking shit on all the channels, the thai hookers are a dead give away to his personally, I travelled to Thailand over for 20 years 2, 3 and 6 months at a time and you see guys like him in every street.

>>14620257
Oh nice Seiko btw lololol

>>14620213
Is this what asian cities really look like? I don't see one fat person or one hobo.

>>14620253
:^)

>>14620297
Yes it is. 0 Hobo in Japan, no nigger on the street, in your $4mil NY apartments door way. People need to see the Tokyo to understand what a city looks like. USA is 3rd world when I go. I sold my Manhattan apartment because of that shit, hobo, blacks, poor trash around me.

Now based in London, it's not as bad but far from perfect. Now its indian and Muslims everywhere but still a upgrade.

Bruh, there's plenty of blacks in tokyo, mostly club promoters, but it's still annoying. Ofc it's nothing compared to US

>>14620358
No there isn't, 1 area in the whole city Harajuku, 4-5 niggers handing leaflets out at the end of the street. Thats it!

>>14620358
USA / NY is full of crazy people. Muh heath care. You don't get those drunk / drug / addicts talks in the subway train in Japan.

15 years ago exactly the same was said about the Daytona

You took your time googling that, archie is not real but the "paul" isnt that far off.

>>14620428
The new Daytona is the Daytona

>>14620565
Not everyone is as american as you bud

>>14614201
man those chinese shitters look so nice. im just worried that servicing it will be more than the cost of the watch

>>14620158
He's the 4chan of the watch community, unfiltered honest shitposting madness with some truth and golden nuggets in the shit. If you take everything seriously and get angry instead of accepting it for what it is you should fuck off back to that other place

>>14620702
Careful dude, shibuya nerd will suggest you to go visit thailand

>>14620627
Do it, it's only £200, you'll get your wear out of it, sell before services, new movement is £100. Same a any shitter when it comes to shitters, pretty tho.

>>14620627
The new ones with the swan neck regulation is a really good deal for the price, I've had mine for about a year now and it's been fine

>>14620911
are those screws actually heat blued or are they painted?

>>14621071
Painted, its £200 watch you won't heat blue screws for £500+, it's the best watch for £200

>>14621076
Thought as much, but still very interesting. Will definitely consider it since it's so cheap. How's the chrono?

>>14621080
Feels good, nice action and click, feels solid. Reset isn't as good as the speedmaster and the speedmaster pops more on both buttons but £200 vs £4k.

>>14621118
>the speedmaster pops more on both buttons but £200 vs £4k.
That's actually a negative, because the Speedy uses a shitty cam-actuated chrono movement, while the Venus-clone Chinkmaster uses a proper column-wheel for switching.

>>14621135

Here comes the Superocean muppets.....

I have the watches, the speedy feels better, are you really trying to tell me? Column wheels are over rated honestly, no one ever says about the soft rest, I've had the El primero (thing was in for repair more than on the wrist)

Don't try and spin my words, I should have said the speedy has a more positive and firm and stronger feeling buttons and action (better built) the HKED is great for the money. The el primero was trash, spring and date are always fucking needing replaced. I'll give the speedy this, its reliability.

>>14621135

>>14611665
nice vintage touch

>>14621206
which el primer? Or do they all share the same caliber?

>>14615803
based as fuck

>>14621316
I had the Calibre 400 but they all have issues, rolex made it more simple for a reason. People recommend it all the time but they never owned one. It's a nice watch, it is quite iconic, looks great, the only guy I even heard talk about the issues i and many have is a watchmaker with watchbox.

https://youtu.be/UQiRAzLRbWI
El at the start, speedy at the end. Long video I know but it's worth watching if you are thinki g about getting one, I'm just some anon but nice to hear someone else say it.
