Whew

Why do wealthy people's collections only ever include 10 or so watches? I'd have at least 40.

I still can't decide if the hour hand on the sarb017 is beautiful or hideous. What other green explorer type watches are there?

>>14620073
Sinn Hunting Watch moggs that hunk of chinkscrap.

Hi guys. I bought a watch strap whose width is 19mm. The lug width on my watch is 20mm. Will the strap fit all right on my watch?

>>14620269
Yes

>>14620308
And it won't look weird? (Sorry for the dumb questions, but I am autistic)

>>14620324
the bar will poke out slightly looks bad

FINALLY
THE ULTIMATE TOOL WATCH

>>14620324
I mean, you'll see 0.5mm of the bar on each side, how bad it will look depends on the strap and the watch. If you can, get a proper one.

Here's a famous example of Bond wearing a mismatched strap in Goldfinger.

>>14620269
Why not just get a 20mm strap?

Shturmanskie and green Rangeman are good. Sell all the rest and buy 1 good watch,

Anyone know where I can get a Seiko Willard? I guess they were a limited release that sold out recently.

You now can't unsee that the IWC Schaffhausen logo and the Chronograph Automatic text are not on the same level.

I found out mechanical watches are not for me, I dont wear them enough for them to keep the spring wound up, and screwing and unscrewing the crown makes me feel like Im fucking up the threading, also constant fear of magnetising and adjusting the time PRECISELY. Almost every quartz watch looks and feels like absolute shit, however, even if the asking price is 300+. Any examples watches with quartz movements that actually feel well made, that again, dont cost 1k+?

>>14620628
I disregard it entirely, seeing as a 6k watch has no business the subdials cutting into the hour markers. Either make a chronograph dial from the ground up or fuck off.

>>14620658
i really like the quatz seiko tunas and some of the casio anuses

>>14620592
What you consider a "good" watch I consider lame in comparison to the orient/russian/casio pieces taking it's place. I don't want a sinn, oris, or tudor, just rolex and then retarded things more expensive then rolex. I won't be attaining one anytime soon, instead 2 low end russians are on the way and this will probably be it. (Also I wouldn't trade the box for a rolex either, I would ideally have one next to this box of delights) .

>>14620683
What I consider good is an original 3017 Strela in good condition instead of random Orient shitters

>>14620658
Citizen Eco-Drive divers are pretty nice. I prefer them to automatics but nobody makes a quartz watch in the style I want so I'm buying a windyboi.

>>14620652

Oh cool, thanks.

>>14620688
I am more then satisfied with the sturmanskie, it was the russian chronograph I wanted and now I have it. And I'll have you know the 2 red dial orient stars are rare, with the one on the right being a prestige shop model only sold in orient prestige shops, in only prestigious parts of japan, for clients with maximum prestige. And because people don't have patience to check yahoo auctions methodically I could easily flip them for 3 mil any day of the week on ebay, but I won't because I love them.

>>14620710

if you buy one please do post it on here. really based watch

>>14620713
based and (literally) redpilled

>>14620719
I'm debating it. Like I know money shouldn't be an object in watch purchases, but is having a more exclusive face and hands really worth about $3900 more than a turtle with a waffle strap.

>>14620713
You just convinced me bro. Wear them in good health.

>>14620726
Probably not lol. Its also got the "special" 8L35 movement, but even thats not worth it. Its more so if you have a connection to the original one.

IMO I would go for the SLA017 over this one for the price point.

What’s the best watch under $500 and why is it a 1960’s Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 bph?

>>14620751
I actually already have a Citizen that looks a lot like that. It's a boring design to me and even though I've had it for five years I've been waiting to replace it with a turtle design. I only wish they made a quartz solar turtle.

>>14620531
Black. The answer is always black.

gf just bought me this at the thrift store, I honestly love it and it fits perfect in my tiny twink wrists, this is gonna be my first time wearing a watch. Are Fossil watches good?

>Joe Roidgain wears a G-Shock all his life and tells everyone watches are dumb and paying more than $100 for a watch is retarded
>some dude goes on his show and tells him that watches are really important to be the big alfalfa
>immediately buys a Panerai and like 10 other $5-50k watches and starts wearing them all the time

>>14620869

>>14620879
why the fuck do people buy panerai

>>14620899
Because it's expensive.

https://chronometercheck.com/joe-rogan-watches/

>>14620892
Nice!

Why does the online watch community have so many haters and toxic people? I've seen entire instagram accounts and forum threads bashing Hodinkee and watch Youtubers
Yeah they're business people who shill their own goods but have they not given you good free content too? Why hate?

This thread is usually pretty mild and only talks shit about watches/brands and not other collectors/media/etc

>>14620935
The whole watch “hobby” is cancerous BS. I liked it better when I knew nothing about it.

“Hey that movement looks pretty cool. I like how that wheel moves around heh heh. Nice.”

“Oh ew it’s not in house and that brand hasn’t been around for 150 years. Look how thinly etched the Geneva stripes are and observe the poor kerning of their brand name on the rotor. I bet those screws are painted blue rather than blued thermally. Dog shit.”

>>14620935
>>14620977
Collecting watches is not a hobby. Everyone who talks about it that way is a deluded cuck who takes pride in literal consumerism. Just buy a watch you like, choose rationally i.e. not something that will break after a week of use and that's pretty much it. Being an elitist or shit talking about watches is childish and onions as fuck.

>>14620059
If you had that many, most of your collection wouldn't get any wrist time because you'd also have a difficulties rotating between different watches.
>okay, which one of these 40+ watches should I wear tomorrow?
>sweating intensifies

>>14620977
>>14620993
Yeah fuck this hobby I just want to get a Nomos or something and never look at a watch site again

I have a Seiko 5 right now (my first automatic) but I want a hand round watch for some reason, I guess to see the gears turn

>>14620869
Somewhere between rolex and tudor, not great, but not bad at all.

Any cheap watches that look good? I just want to have a watch on my hand

t. poor anon

>>14621015
fitbits cost like $100 and you can credibly pretend that's what you wanted in many situations

Legit question: why shouldn't I buy cheap chinese knockoffs that are pretty much the same, since watches aren't hard to make

Why do the Swiss still jerk us around with “muh craftsmanship” when everything is literally just a CNC program now? You will get hand crafted artisanal shit at the haute horology level but all your <$20,000 watches are just made by computers moving a machine tool around.

You got goobers who still think it takes 14 months to make a Rolex when they’re spitting out 800,000 of them a year and artificially creating scarcity.

Buy Jap or Chinese. It’s all made on the same (Swiss/German/Japanese) CNC machines anyway.

Opinions?

Least expensive dive watch you can get that comes from a real brand. Quartz keeps better time than a real Submariner. Wouldn't want to actually go diving with it.

If you like the look there's literally no reason not to get it.

>>14621102
>>14621108
>>14621111
I just want a nice looking watch because I heard those make you look better in general, more attractive and I don't know anything about them. Unless there's a better one for aesthetics alone in that price range

>>14621123
>I heard those make you look better in general, more attractive

Watches don't make you look more attractive. They compliment your existing look. If you look like a loser you're going to look like a loser wearing a traditional dive watch. And the aesthetics is a choice you have to make.

>>14621090
Boring. Casio make calculators for gook geeks. Buy from a real watch brand like Vostok.

>>14621177
>Vostok

Those things are a wrist fedora. "I just discovered mechanical watches and the supreme class they will bring to me."

What does /wt/ think of panzera watches? No, not panerai, panzera is the name of the brand. I'd never heard of it either. Wondering if any watch thread bros know about it.

Underrated post.

> If you're supposed to be rich what the hell are you even doing here anyway?
Killing time at work while getting richer. I personally only shitpost on company time.

>>14619934
Where the fuck was this thread?? I was in the other one wondering why it was so dead dammit

>>14621478
I need to spend like nine gorillion a day for tax reasons, and only lurk these threads for inspiration on what to spend money on. I find it really annoying when people post Seiko and Casio watches because they're so ineffective - I make more money in the time it takes me to buy one than they cost. I don't even care about watches and give them to the mailman or whoever happens to be closest. I tried to give my neighbour's dog a Grand Seiko, and it died of disgust. Lucky it was an expensive dog.

Bros I really like how this watch looked bros. But reddit keep calling this a meme watch bros, how can this be bros? I want to buy it but I don't want reddit to laugh at me bros...

>>14621090
I got one but it started to fuck up, gaining time (which i assume is the battery), aside from that it was solid

Dam did Joe get into watchs, I haven't listened for 2 years, I remember the podcast with the watch guy and thought at the time it's a shame hes not into them because he strikes me as a watch guy.

>>14620059
Why would any collection have more than 10 watches? The more you buy the more redundant each new watch becomes.

Having around 10 is the perfect number to give you enough options on what to wear for any occasion. Once you stop wearing one of the watches anymore then you sell it and buy a new one and keep the rotation going.

>>14620901
He still has zero taste no matter the extra zero or two he's now prepared to pay.

That Breitling isn't bad though.

>>14621714
For real, the Superocean Heritage looks sleek as all get-out. Surprised he's wearing the 46, but he looks to have the wrists for it, even if the watch is half as short as him.

>>14621763
I agree. It may not be Haute Horology but it's a proper mechanical diver that looks great casual and the price, especially on the grey market, is very affordable.

>>14620879

So seiko is releasing a new alpinist series with a new movement, coming in green, black and white dials. Sadly the price seems quite high.

What do you guys think? I would own one if they did a variant with no silly compass bezel.

>>14621674
Yeah, look at https://chronometercheck.com/joe-rogan-watches/ it's pathetic.

>>14622089
He wasn't into watches and then got into them, what's the problem. 5-10k for a watch is nothing for him!

>>14621630
stop saying bros faggot
seiko 5's are perfectly good looking watches and the only reason they are a meme is because all the rich faggots on here with 5000 dollar automatics on their wrist can't stand the thought of a watch that looks just as good and costs 100th the price

It’s up!

What's pathetic about it? They all seem like the perfect watches for a guy like him.

Seiko SNK 805. I love mine, wore it for 2 years now at least but I'm tired of it so I switched to a trendy shitter because green isn't really my color anyway.

>>14621816

>>14622204
Nice suggestion. It Looks nice with a brown strap.

Got my turtle today--love the design. Waiting for a nylon strap to arrive. Doesn't seem as well made as the Ecodrive but the aesthetics are better. My first automatic.

>>14620040
I have always really liked the Oceanus.

>>14621090
I have one. Cheapest watch I own by a mile but it is a great summer beater. Not afraid to get wet, knock it around. Reliable and looks reasonably good. Recommend.

>>14622339
I'll hopefully have one in the next 3 days, what does the handwinding feel like?

>>14622339
What's the other diver watch? Left.

>>14622366
Doesn't take much effort. The internet says you can wind forever and it will never feel like it's done, so don't overdo it.

>>14622370
Citizen BN0100-00E. It's an Ecodrive from about 7 years ago. Great watch, except the design is about as vanilla and functional as it gets. The lugs are also 23mm so lolgoodluck finding straps unless you can squeeze a 24 in there. I really love it but I've wanted a cushion case Seiko for a decade.

>>14622339
Consider swapping out the bezel to an aftermarket one like a yobokies coin edge, keep the bezel insert the same.

Which one?

>>14622445
They're both cool. Seiko has better lume/bezel action/finishing. Squealer has nice and accurate movement.

>>14622679
fucking great honestly. I still can't believe you got that yema for pennies (assuming you are the same anon who posted yema chronograph before) Sell the bottom two. They're kinda useless.

>>14622686
Something to do with yatch racing where captains only really have a few seconds to glance at their watch, 5 min markers are important for some reason

>>14621812
yes
>>14622616
yes, no issues with the bezel (although I rarely use bezels to time anything, so you may be more picky then me). I remember it being hard to turn when I first got it but after getting it wet and using it a few times it became normal (2 fingers, minimal force but is never going anywhere without you moving it), no play, lines up.

Obviously phoibos is chinese as fuck so it's luck of the draw, I was really paranoid getting it and trying to get a read from people that have them on whether the QC is good, some posts with fucked up ones but not enough to think every other one going out is messed up. Mine turned out fine with 0 problems, have worn it a lot, I really like the octopus logo which is why I got it over other sub homages. If you can wait til november buy it on black friday, I think I paid 250

>>14622871
Joking aside the grape OP is probably the best/ most iconic watch in their current lineup right? (AS FAR AS THE models you can actually walk in and buy). I can see the purple dial being a clear mark in time 10 years from now on a little rolex history graph. 5,400-5,700 isn't that bad. Is the 36 considered the right size to go for or is 39 gonna be the one to own down the line?

Explorer/Speedmaster/Reverso/Submariner are the ultimate unimaginative safe picks. People only wear them to get respect from forum geeks (who wear them for the same reason). Boring boring boring watches.

>>14622906
I'd get a white 36 or 39
39 will distinguish it from older vintage shitters in the future when this becomes vintage

>>14622986
So what's in your collection? :^)

>>14622991
Lot of Blancpains and IWCs and shit that depreciate 30% when you walk out the door probably

>>14622986
Or you know, people just like how they look and have the money to spend? I love how a sub looks like, homage pieces never do it justice.

>>14622988
White and black is boring, a black sub or a white explorer 2 is cool but for an OP you might as well keep saving for a more expensive line. There is nothing else like the grape in the lineup, it's unique to the OPs. Love it or hate it, in time it will probably THE one to get, unless purple sticks around forever which I doubt it

>>14620869
Wow, nice find! I wish I had a fossil, they're really hard to come by these days. Definitely one of the most influential brands in horology by far.

>>14623034
It's not about it being an investment and more about buying a distinct model in it's own right. It is the most unique out of them, obviously if you don't like purple then yeah don't get it, but if you like black I think you'd have to have rocks in your head not to get an explorer over an OP.

>>14623035

Sup /wt/ recommend me a decent quartz/solar watch with perpetual calendar. Just the date alone would be good. Budget is $300 and below (it's a fucking quartz).

Look for a Seiko 5 that looks similar. I think they may have some with the fluted bezel.

Has anyone handled a ceramic Seamaster vs the old Bond Brosnan models?

I like the thin profile of the old Seamasters but I hate aluminum bezels, they always look tired & knackered, vs ceramic which pops

What watch would you all recommend for someone that will be teaching soon? I’ll be teaching younger children so things may get messy. I don’t care if it’s automatic or quartz movement.

I have an orient mako with a nato strap. I’m sort of tired of it now. I had a Casio gshock that I gave to my friend because I was tired of seeing him walk around without a watch. I miss the lightness of that watch, I like digital displays but I thought maybe I should go with an analog display to express some maturity in my life. I took a look at the Orient Bambino but it seemed just slightly too dressy for me. I’ve taken a close look at citizen eco drive watches as well as a Seiko 5 - I may settle on a Seiko 5 variant.

When I want to wear a worry free watch that's what I wear. If it breaks, not a big deal. Want to rob me for it, take it please. You can go diving with it. It fell on the floor more times than I can count and still runs ok enough for me. Should the movement stop at any point it can be upgraded with an nh36 movement and it will even hack and wind for probably less than a service. It also looks good to me. Not sure why you hate it so much.

>>14623706
If I saw you wearing the second one in public I will maul you

Are mass produced automatic watches durable enough for daily wear? I mean actual 24/7/365 wear, not "wear to the office and dinner" kind of wear. I keep seeing posts on watch forums like "I bumped my Rolex against a doorframe and now it's running 45 seconds slow." I really want to get a nice watch but not if it's only for flexing under gentle conditions.

Meanwhile I've had an Eco-Drive on my wrist all day for the last five years and I only have to adjust it for daylight savings twice a year. I've beat on it so hard the finish is worn off.

Some us some examples of those posts. Say what you like about Rolex but they are known for having some of the most shock resistant and reliable movements in the industry. Most of them were originally designed as tool watches and meant to take a lot of punishment. Other brands likely will not fair as well.

same fag

Just bought a cake for my mom's birthday. While saying goodbye to the patisserie's owner (female), I noticed she had a Kermit on her wrist. I hate women who wear submariners so this made me think: on one hand she is the classic woman who has money and buys a Rolex Submariner because that's the only luxury watch she knows, but on the other hand a Kermit is a watch that requires a little bit of consideration before purchasing or at least some kind of watch knowledge. So which one is it? I am confused, was it a gift? Have I found a possible watch enthusiast? Why do women do this?

>>14623828
>I hate women who wear submariners

>>14623835
Yes, 40mm is too big for a woman's wrist (I understand that tastes are subjective), especially the 40mm of the sub. It makes me feel like they bought the only expensive watch that their normie NPC mind knows.

>>14623845
>normie NPC

>>14623845
>>14623857
You're projecting way too hard. All people tend to buy things they like or think they look good. Sometimes it's superficial and sometimes it's educated. The fact you're trying to psychoanalyze a baker because you're shocked by her choice of watch says more about you than her.

And honestly, in my experience with woman a Rolex shows more thought than other brands. The Oyster ex put some effort into getting a nice high-end watch. The really superficial chicks I've dated ended up with a Tag or another brand I can't remember that used to be fancy but now just makes Chinese shit. All they cared about was "omg the counter girl says it's high end."

>>14623828

I don't know any women who've bought Submariners. It's too manly and utilitarian. Usually they'd go for a Datejust or Oyster. She sounds cool. I'd bang her.

>>14623828
I don't see the problem with women wearing Subs or other sport watches.

> buys a Rolex Submariner because that's the only luxury watch she knows
How do you know? Sure they are expensive but they are still damn good watches. They are the most popular and well know watch brand for a reason and it's not all down to marketing. If she's wearing a Kermit I'd give her the benefit of the doubt she actual knows more than most people about watches.

>>14623862
no, you're samefagging

Thoughts on this cheap piece of shit? ST19 inside

>>14623867
She's not just a baker lmao she is the owner of one of the most famous bakeries in my city, which means she's rich and uses her money like a woman: to superficially purchase the first thing that screams luxury to her, a sub. But a Kermit is the thing I don't understand.
Do you know what projecting means? What am I projecting onto her?
A Rolex Sub is the most cookie cutter luxury watch there is, there is even the joke that if you get caught by rebel fighters in the middle of the deepest african jungle and you're wearing a sub, they'll want it. Which is why women are so obsessed with it. Instead of doing a minimum of research and finding a beautiful luxury lady's watch they just get the "rolly".
>>14623873
Which is why the Kermit confused me, she must know something about watches right? But if she does, why did she get a fucking Submariner????
Pics related I see.

>>14623890
> why did she get a fucking Submariner?
How many women-only sport or diving watches do know? I can't think of any. They aren't quartz movements like a lot if not most women watches and so they keep resale value a lot better than womens watches. They are more durable than something that's basically a piece of lightweight jewellery. Maybe they simply like how they look? Personally I think they can look great on the right woman.

I could live with that, but the brand name puts me off

>>14623912
Very good point but all watches are made to be durable, you won't easily break a DJ even if you wear it where you would wear your sub. Which makes me remember the interview with the AP CEO where he explains that they can't make an automatic lady's RO because making the caliber smaller is really hard and would make the watch too expensive to the point where the lady's Royal Oak would cost more than the normal one.
So a reason might simply be that they don't make a sub in lady size and so she bought the 40mm. Very possible, thank you for making me think anon.
>>14623920
It caught me off-guard, I had just said goodbye to her but she kind of knows me, I'll ask her next time.

>>14623912

I think I am sane, I could've worded it more politely but it was still confusing for me. By comparison you don't see guys with 30k Hermes bags because they don't make them for men.
You guys don't get mad when people talk shit about Bilzerian or any other random people who "have nothing to do with and know nothing about watches".

>>14623954
It's a lot more acceptable for women to wear men's clothing than the opposite. If I found a women's only watch that I really loved I'd probably wear it as long as it wasn't a grossly feminine design.

>>14623954
>confusing
You act like a woman possibly making their own personal decision is somehow nefarious. A 40mm sub is pretty unisex imo. How about next time you compliment the watch and talk to her, you know, like a regular human being.

>>14623964
Me too. If I could afford to, I'd wear the shit out of the RM bonbon collection
>>14623973
>A 40mm sub is pretty unisex imo
40mm on a woman's wrist? Have you seen how retarded that looks? Like wearing those invicta mall shitters. And rolex doesn't include the crown and crown guard in that 40mm measurement.
But it is also fair that "De gustibus..."

>>14624004

A sub on a woman is very sexy to me. Especially if she bought it for herself instead of a Chopard Crazy Diamonds or a boring quartz Cartier, for example.

You could've said "a successful woman is sexy" and I would've agreed. But you just had to talk about her wearing a sub to virtue signal. Fucking loser, even the Tiffany watches have nice designs, no need to shit on other brands just to try and win an argument, child.

What and why are you having trouble with comprehending her decision to get a sub? I can't handle the mental gymnastics to understand why you think is a big deal-

Are you implying a sub is just a normie tier watch and by virtue of her having one its a bad watch? Or are you saying she might have an idea of what she is buying but the choice she made just shocked you?

Spit it out anon

Read the rest of my posts and you'll get to the conclusion, I'm going to dinner.

>>14624086
It's a good point though. I've never thought to get a girl I'm dating to wear one of my watches. Now I feel stupid for having no idea what a men's watch looks like on a woman in real life.

>>14624114
He's saying normally he assumes all women are badgewhoring by wearing a Rolex. But this watch had a less common bezel, so he's having a hard time comprehending that a woman might have actually put thought into buying a watch other than "it's expensive." The concept is so shocking to him he's trying to get /fa/ to help figure out the problem.

Reminder that Richard Mille blatantly ripped off the aesthetic of Franck Muller and uses Vaucher movements.

Waiting patiently for my Hulk from AD. They had bigger VIPs to feed lately. But they offered my any Tudor at 20 percent off and even some at 25% off.

Not really in the market for a Tudor but wondering if I should bite so I can climb up the purchase history ladder. Should I play these stupid AD games or wait it out?

Never buy a watch now simply because you have to wait or save for the watch you actually want. That's one of the golden rules of watch collecting.

>>14624132
This is 4chan. He probably can't believe that a woman could have an independent thought for themselves.

Buy a Tudor if they'll agree to buy it back from you or help you find a buyer.

Well I'm sure I can find a buyer pretty easily. Canadian MSRP is pretty low too so not really gonna lose on resell. Just might be a waste of time. Had a Pelagos LHD before and sold it. I guess I'll try to enjoy what I have and wait out this Rolex bullshit.

>>14624148
Yeah I haven't stopped in lately and the AD probably noticed so they texted me out of nowhere. In the end they're the ones who need our money. Yeah I figured waiting is probably best.

>>14624156
Very nice watch. But not really versatile. Not ideal for travelling and outdoor activities. Good to have as a main watch but you could still use a shitter/beater.

For $1k good it's a nice watch. I'd still want the Lange over it any day of the week.

>>14624213
Women don't care about genuine conversation. Luxury goods are as good a way to start one as any.
