Expensive watches.

Do you baby them or just wear the damn thing?

>>14627204

>>14627300
I flip them

Rip to me ever affording a breitling superocean. They're just so damn pretty

>>14627204
something I wouldn't be upset if it got lost/stolen. so probably less than $1000CAD worth. Actually I'd probably be upset if I lost that...make it 700

is there a watch out there that looks like this but doesn't have the rolex price tag?

>>14627488
Is there a you out there that isn't a poor?

>>14627494
I'm just not comfortable dropping that kind of money on an antique hobby. I like the look a lot.

>>14627497
(Yeah I'm just giving you shit while I wait for someone to give a real answer cause I want a similar but cheap version of that too)

>>14627488
1960s seikos

Was just about to order this on amazon as my daily beater but after reading the reviews, the quality control seems to be lacking. Is there a watch that looks similar and has the same functionality for about the same price ($40)

>>14627544
The loud ticking on that thing will drive you mad. Timex is utter fucking dogshit. You can get such better watches for the money from casio.

>>14627558
Which models would you recommend?

>>14627568
I actually don't have any analog casios. Searching their site would be a good start. Shit, for $40 you can get the cheapest g-shocks which are light years ahead of a crappy timex expedition.

>>14627568
Drop twice the amount for a good beater like this

https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK809-Automatic-Stainless-Canvas/dp/B002SSUQFG

I rocked this when I was a parking lot attendant at home depot and a busboy at a restaurant when I was 17. It's been caked in every combination of smelly wet shitty material imaginable and bumped and scraped against every hard surface I can think of. Still worked great and looked decent. My only complaint would be it's a little small but it's the same size as your Timex.

What's the best place to buy an omega motfm, i assume nobody's buying new, so what to look out for when buying used?

>>14627544
Hamilton Field Watch you can get used around that

How much did the commie watch set you back for? I'm looking for one of those to go with a slavshit outfit I'm setting up

>>14627640
if you want an automatic komandirskie (which is what my tank dial is), 62 + shipping, if you want a manual wind it's around 40. Buy off meranom

>>14627647
Much appreciated

>>14627204

>>14627636
>>14627639
I can't tell if this gets reposted because poorfag autism or viral marketing for Orient and Casio. And get an MDV-102 if you're that that much of a brandwhore.

>>14627204
I've had no interest in buying any more watches since getting a 36mm explorer.

>>14627676
I just like being in here and waving to people. Like a creepy old guy how has nowhere to go, always on a bench with an ill fitting baseball cap on. The 3 main things are russian, orient, casio, but I mean I got the weird aka watch and 2 micros with 9015s in them, so not that militant. The 102 looks neat but I already have a marlin, idk if that is considered a casio grail to anyone but I think the oceanus is enough of a king piece as far as that goes.

>>14627690
*who
also the date on the oceanus looks off center in that image, its fine now it has a feature to adjust it where you want

>>14627690
The 102 is actually an impractical watch unless you're a mole man with no light sources. I wore one for a couple years and then sold it for twice what I paid. I guess now they're worth about 4X.

>>14627629
Are you sure they’re pretty pricey new I don’t think they’ll go for 40 bucks used

>>14627629
>>14627603
>>14627558
I only have a couple casios and I wanted to branch out a bit, also I’m not really looking for an automatic right now, I was thinking the timex weekender? They don’t have such mixed reviews and have the 30m water resistance but I’m not sure if quality control is an all around timex or just on the expeditions.

>>14627204
Idk, Franck Muller was always tacky to me, /b/uddy.

>>14627603
I have this and I hate the coated metal, looks cheap
I'd rather have poorly finished regular steel

>>14627395
I was in a hurry and left the house without mine this morning :(

>>14627300
Wear but baby on the wrist a bit, anything over 7k. No swing my arm around next to a wall.

>>14627395
Is that a rolex anon? RIP.

>>14627948
No it's a pepperoni pizza.

Can someone identify this watch please? Thought it was a G-Shock but it seems to have a diver bezel.

https://youtu.be/8Af3E6FtuY4

>>14628086
Thanks, really was curious about the brand.
I'd definitely look at getting one if I didn't already have a beater, but that sure is a really nice price. Really liking the look of their other watches too.
How is the Miyota, is it keeping time well? I hear it mentioned in the same tone as the 2824-2 that's ticking away in my Helson, which is keeping alright time for being as cheap as it is.

Has anyone found anything worthwhile thrifting? After that one guy found that Jaeger-LeCoultre, it seems like Goodwill wised up with their watch sales

>>14628176
got my (pic related) yema for a couple of $ at a yard sale.

anyways post your collections guys, what are your thoughts on mine

>>14628197
WHAT A LOAD OF FUCKING TRASH

>>14628197
also do you think this bracelet (the black one) would look good with my tuna? I'm still trying to look for the perfect metal bracelet for it so I can have a bit of slide during summer and won't leave tan marks. I wasn't feeling the hexad as much that I got for last summer

are these styles still durable? (I normally have my tuna on the original black rubber but I will be seeing how I like this orange one for a little bit)

>>14628176
I look for people who are cleaning out after dead relatives and such. I found a 2010 Milgauss, but the owner knew what he had, so no luck getting it for a steal.
Might pop on by the Salvation Army and Red Cross places next time I'm in the city, but in general I don't see many watches there.
What's the process like if you find a watch on its own there? Can you get it authenticated and get the certs and stuff?

>>14628105
Halp please.

Just the right amount of gold.
Love this watch.

>>14628419

No pop factor sorry, shiny shiny

>>14627300
I wear them.

>>14627664
Good choice.

>>14627204
A nos explorer 1016. I can't buy a used watch because of my autism. So I will never own it. Almost pulled the trigger on a 36mm OP but backed out because it's kinda thick.

>>14628202
> Can you get it authenticated and get the certs and stuff?
Depends on the brand but all of the higher end ones will verify if you send off the watch to them and provide a certificate of authentication. They won't provide a new box and papers though. That's why a full-set is always worth more.

>>14628372
Because you can average over both clock sources which should reduce the total drift.

>>14628197
Nice collection. Love the yachtingraf and the kq, never been the biggest fan of the tuna but at least you got the best one. Imo sell the last 2 and get yourself a decent pilot's watch and you're golden

I can't tell if you think it's funny posting that trash or if you really are *that* poor?

just copped this for 60$, what do you think?

>>14628423
I do love these. I plan to get one when they drop in price a little more.
I used to have this one.

>>14628201
>>14628450
Also don't get that strap, pvd mesh always looks shit and if you want a better strap for summer, that black metal will absorb a fuckton of heat. I'd recommend a ventilated rubber like an isofrane style or something similar

>>14628368

>>14628165
never really noticed helson but that looks like a pretty good homage to my seamaster

Could you tell me more about it? Give me a little review, price you paid, quality, accuracy, lume strength, bracelet, crystal etc.

>>14628493
tl;dr I couldn't afford the Seamaster when I bought it, or I'd have gotten the Seamaster.
That said, for the price it's alright.They go for $749, but they routinely have sales, so I got mine at 15 % off.
I don't really have anything to base my opinions about quality on, as it's my first mechanical watch and first diver watch, but it feels and looks solid enough.
>Accuracy
As you can see from the photo, it's running about a minute too fast, and that's two weeks after I last set it. Can't really complain about that.
>Lume strength
Oh, it can get pretty strong, but it fades pretty fast. I haven't tried taking it underwater, but it's readable for 20something minutes in a pitch dark bedroom.
>Bracelet
Not much rattle in it, little 18mm ratcheting extension that's surprisingly tight. It also came with a rubber strap, I think it's the same stuff they use in Isofrane straps - At least it has that vanilla smell I read is supposed to be characteristic of it.
>Crystal
4mm domed sapphire with inside AR coating, it says.
I'm really hesitant to write too much about it before I've used it for a while longer, but so far it's working well enough.
If you don't mind my asking some questions in return, what year is your Seamaster from? Have you had it long? I really liked the look of the vintage Seamaster 300, but I suppose I could get used to the new ones in time.

>>14628520
Better than 4:30 date windows imo

>>14627181
Why did no one link this fucking thread in the last one?

Just ordered this.
I was needing a quartz beater for work and this should do the trick perfectly.

>>14628621

>>14628623
This looks better than most citizens.
Plus my Citizen is the best Citizen and isn’t Quartz.

>>14627303
what's this model?

>>14628621
Let me know once you get it. I hate the loud ticking that timex watches usually have. Hope this one doesn't tick loudly. Love the design.

>>14628645
Sure. I’ll let you know.

>>14628418
If only

>>14628372
There are a couple different methods used in different twin quartz watches but the basic idea is that the difference between the two crystals varies predictably with temperature, which allows for temperature correction. This article is a pretty decent intro to haq methods.

Thoughts on the Phoibos Eagle Ray Bronze?

SW200, 500m WR, meteorite dial, double domed sapphire and good size (41x47) for $520. Or $420 for a black ceramic dial instead of the meteorite.

>>14628739
>double domed sapphire
What does this actually mean?

>>14628419
Isn't this the fake Tudor?

>>14628770
No.

>>14628692
I could but they wear very small because of the lugs.

>>14628770
No, you can see the test is raised and the bezel stalk looks fine.

Every sub-Rolex brand sucks, yeah.

>>14628930
They are simply the best watches in those collections. It's irrelevant who makes them.

>>14628860
Don't have a ton of cash right now and I like variety. I should be getting a job in the oil industry soon though so I might start upgrading once I run these into the ground

My favourite is actually my alpenis on a strapcode bracelet, but I've got a milanese coming for the seamaster which I think might push it to no.1

Opinions on rolex explorer 1? I want a decent watch that fits all occassions. I'm too broke to afford good watches for every purpose

>>14629009
if you're broke an explorer might not be doable

>>14629015
I was thinking in that instead of getting 4 mid-range watches I get one high-end

>>14629009
It's precisely the kind of watch that can be worn in every occasion and a watch that will never lose value.

>>14629020
100% agree. It's always better to get a single quality watch than several shitters.

>>14628986
>breetling superocean heritage ii
Which size? How big wrists? Thoughts and impressions? Post a wrist picture? I'm wanting a blue/blue with mesh, but I'm not sure about the size.

>>14629028
Blue, 42mm, it's upstairs and I'm lazy so no wrist pic.

Go try one on, any AD will suck your dick to get you to buy a Breetling.

>>14629020
>>14629024
Get what you want. If you really want that one luxury watch and you think you'd wear it every day then get it, if you're being pulled in too many directions get a couple mid range pieces. There's no correct way to do it.

Every watch collector and even Archie will tell you one of the most common mistakes beginners make is buying lots of trash rather than a single good piece.

>>14629046
It keeps shit time but other than that it's fine.

>>14629065
>Letting that fat greasy fuck tell you what to do
I honestly couldn't care less about what (((watch collectors))) say

>>14629036
I'd love to try one on at my AD, but my nearest AD is an hour by plane away. Last I went into town was half a year ago, so I don't even remember if he had any Breitlings. Gonna have to head in there to pick up a different watch order whenever that arrives, but until then I don't want to spend the time and money to get there.
Thanks anyway.

>>14629009
Overpriced and very, very dull.
Get used to "Oh is that a Rolex, is it? Hmm"

>>14629072
Do you live in Siberia?

But it doesn't wear very big despite being 42mm, the lug to lug length is only 48mm or something like that.

>>14629071
Only buying what you like is one of the other top rules so that applies too. My personal experience is that I agree with both but I've certainly regretted buying trash watches the most.

>>14629073
You've obviously never owned one and likely never even seen one in person. The Explorer is a great everyday watch.

Have a great weekend, watchland.
You deserve it.

>>14628847
Its grand not everyone want to tie up thousands of pounds in watches, at those price points just buy what you like, many I'll get a 1 hander!

>>14629124
Yes, but the thing that bothers me the most is that the running small seconds are on the right side as opposed to the left.

>>14629124
Nevermind it is... it just looks so disproportional.

>>14629129
Then save up and get the pro you fucking incel freak.

>>14629114
Automatic chronographs are prohibitively expensive unless you have serious dollar. I strongly recommend this watch. I bought this for £1850 and it's very nice.
Don't buy a hand wound watch. They're annoying as fuck.

>>14629129
Hell yea they do.

>>14629078
''what you like'' is not the best advice for beginners who are easily impressed and have not seen enough to mature their taste.

As a beginner myself, only now after spending lots of time looking at different watches on chrono24 and yt am I beginning to really appreciate the designs of brands such as A Lange and Rolex.

>>14629135
>Then save up and get the pro you fucking incel freak.
But it's not automatic.

>>14629144
> easily impressed and have not seen enough to mature their taste.
That's partially why that advice is given. It's how beginners learn and improve their taste. It's also to tell people to not simply buy watches as investments or that they were told to buy it by others.

>>14629110
Bad genes 2bh

>>14629136
If you want an auto Chrono, buy a Sinn or Fortis.

How to get a gf with really hairy arms to buy watches for?

>>14629144

>>14629169
Dark hair Italian gf. You will first need to buy an entry level BMW or Mercedes. Probably CLA or similar badge whore car

>>14629075
Not quite, it's just a bit out of the way.
48 mm lug-to-lug seems doable, yes. I always thought it wore pretty big since I almost only see the 46 mm ones pop up used on the Internet, so I figured it was people with smaller wrists who got more watch than they had planned for.

My first watch over £300. It was a good start and I still think it looks great.

>>14629296

I also liek this Tudor with an alarm. Mechanical alarms are an interesting complication.

>>14629296
I want to like them but it's too THICC for me.

>>14629322

>>14629205
>FRI 13
that shit is accurate

>>14629334

I bought it for myself after graduating college. As much as fa likes muh Black Bay and muh Pelagos, I’ve rarely seen this model here.

>>14629337

The thiccness doesn’t bother me as much since the crystal is nice and flat; if it was domed I probably would have passed. Although on the bracelet it tends to wear heavy so I changed it to a lighter Panerai style strap you see in the pic.

>>14629252
As much as I respect his knowledge on vintage clothing, SRS is a complete and utter grug when it comes to watches.

>>14629302
Thank you for posting, I'm all too glad to say that it looks great on you, and will hopefully do the same on my 18 cm wrists. My watch fund is in a rather sorry state right now because of the aforementioned watch I'm waiting for, or I'd be mailing my AD to get me a Superocean right this instant.

>>14629302

>>14628464
Absolutely fucking atrocious.

>>14628702
Thank you. That's a clever trick.
I'll read the whole article tomorrow. The HAQ subforum is a goldmine.

>>14628739
Is it real meteorite or imitation?

>>14627544
Yeah I have a Timex weekender. It looks nice and is very accurate for what should be cheap quartz (drifts what seems like a second or two a month in casual observation)

BUT the second hand is fucked up. It's fine for about half the way around, then starts missing the mark, then it starts jumping so far it'll skip over entire second marks, then comes back, and miraculously still keeps accurate time.

Since Amazon is so easy on returns you could just buy one and see how it is and return it if it's bad.

Otherwise a Hamilton will work. Maybe a Citizen but that's a little more.

>>14628986
Fuck off street shitter.

>>14627544
Here's the citizen I mentioned

>>14629488

The modern advisors look too busy for me. I'd love to buy a more vintage model, since their dials are much simpler. Too bad theyre only 34mm.

>>14629763
and actully, the 60s models look even better

forgot image

Thoughts? Real or fake?
Shorter minute hands puts this as a 214270 mk1 to me. Picture isn't great though so hard to get a good look at the finishing.
No rear photo

>>14629906
Pic is far too shitty to tell. Just ask yourself if the deal sounds too good to be true.

>>14629906
That's not hard to tell. It's borderline impossible.

>>14629911
Deal is absolutely too good to be true. Guess I'm being naive thinking they're selling something that they don't realise what they have.

>>14629917
Then yes, it's a fake.

>>14629917
> Deal is absolutely too good to be true
With that fact and the awful picture and no rear shot then just avoid it even if on the very rare chance it's not fake.

>>14629009
Get a 114270, your better off with 1 high end watch than 4 £1000 watches. I have 4 £250 watches and 1 £4000 watch.

I feel after £250-350 theres not much of a leap until £4000, you should skip all the mid tier watchs.

>>14629940
can you make your shitter darker pls?

>>14629980
Legit question, how is this not a crime for a business to do this?

Why do amerifats have such big watches. Very ugly.

>>14630079
Because watch designs are not able to be protected under intellectual property law. Parts of the movements though can be patented.

>>14629009
By far the most boring Rolex. And that’s saying something.

>>14630081
Because we are fat hambeasts. I hate how rare <40mm watches are now.

Unless they're from Mars they know what a Rolex is.

>>14630141
Your autism is showing, the chrono was running........

Still no wrist short, why do I get the feeling superocean fag

>>14630145
It's a sale where it's on offer amongst some other shitters and they're just getting rid of everything.
But absolutely I know what you mean, naive thinking but hopeful.

>>14630157
You must’ve pressed it and snapped that photo within 1 second since the totaliser hasn’t moved. Either that or you have a broken shitter watch.

Rate my new piece

>>14630214
Yes is so that hard to believe.

Still no wrist shot, shit postings seiko owns everytime, the reason I don't own one!

>>14630221
A bit big but at least it fits your wrist better than >>14629302
>>14630240
Did you wear it during a humid day? Is that why it's broken now?

>>14630031
Just need to get used to it and build the habbit

>>14630221
Wristlet genocide WHEN

>>14630079
implying the people who created the original design are even alive, as if they're still working for rolex

rolex are just spinning the wheel, they don't have any ties to the design any more than the old man in korea who made that cheap homage

>>14629499
That’s nice but I wanted something a little bit cheaper for a daily beater so that I won’t feel to bad about scratches and bumps and it won’t hurt my wallet too bad if it got broken or lost

>>14630240
So you’re holding your arm out and holding your phone with your other hand. You press the chrono with your phone hand then move it back, line it up and get the watch in focus and take a photo within 1 second.

Or more likely your watch is broken.

>>14630309
the wristlets will inherit the earth

Seiko turtle guy here. After three days it's running about +9 per day. I've never really been into automatics so is this normal for cheap mechanical watches? I know the "official" specs are +30s but I don't understand how anyone could live with that. Have quarts movements given me unrealistic expectations?

>>14630422
>Have quarts movements given me unrealistic expectations?
Yes.

Try laying it on its side when you're not wearing it. They'll generally run a little slower in this position. Lay it face up and it will run a little faster.

>>14629980
im into these i want the pilot one

>>14630422
If you're feeling lucky, punk, you can locate the little adjustment arm on the balance and carefully adjust it to slow it down a bit

>>14630422
desu, automatics are a meme. and don't get how people act like they are actively experiencing the movement. just for what? to see it swoop/tick super close when you decided to check the time for 2 second which you don't even notice the second hand.

literally paying a lot more for something waaaaay less accurate just to larp about an emp attack and still having a watch. or for it to be a lifetime item but would end up selling/buying more watches before it gets serviced, if ever .

Ive transitioned to pretty much all quartz except for 1 watch which is automatic.
was just sick of the watch being a few minutes late by the end of the week.

the automatic is just one I would only wear on a random day and doesn't have a date so I just set it for the day then forget about it until next time I decide to wear it.

>>14630422
That's around where my Vostok is. So you've equalled the performance of a $70 watch if that makes you feel better.

>>14630440
not really. Performance and how well a movement was regulated from the factory are 2 different things. A watch that runs exactly 9 seconds fast every day has the potential to run +/- one second.

>>14630439
But it's all about the craftsmanship anon. CNC operators making $5 an hour hitting the big green button every minute, and Chinese peasant women sitting in long lines assembling all the parts your pre-programmed computer-controlled machines have made. Think of the CRAFTSMANSHIP.

>>14630439
I didn't fall for the automatic meme. If I could have gotten this watch with a solar or battery movement I would have, but I've been in love with the cushion case ever since I sold an old one on consignment for somebody else. I just have no idea what a mass-market automatic is supposed to run accuracy wise.

I _would_ intentionally buy an automatic if it was an example of the watchmaker's art or whatever, but I wouldn't wear it 24/7.

Rec me a silicone strap that's as soft as seiko's. Preferably on the thinner side. Ordered a strap from AliExpress but they're too thick.

A full Lumibrite dial and field watch looks. A sister brand to Seiko, just under 40 dollars on eBay. I think it has a Hardlex crystal. 100m WR. Alba and Pulsar and Seiko all have similar full lume field watches, but this one seems more readily available than those models.

>>14629009
Why an explorer I when you could get an oyster perpetual

>>14628739
I was going to go on an autistic microbrand shitter rant, but this one actually looks really damn cool. Do it for the fashion, anon. Never mind us whorology nerds.

Everyone should own at least one vintage handwinder. Designed without CAD, made on manual machines without CNC, all in-house before outsourcing to China was a thing, and made when mechanical watches were actually necessary and not a fashion accessory. Just pure and honest and not a status symbol.

>>14629906
Shitty fake

Are there any respectable quartz watches? By respectable I mean Rolex-tier, so that people think better of you when they see the brand.

>>14630567
Longines VHP

>>14630567
>so that people think better of you when they see the brand.

The battle has already been lost. I literally got the most compliments of mine life wearing a Casio for some reason.

>>14630573
>Longines
I doubt anyone knows what that is.

>>14630567
Breitling and Omega have made quartz watches. Bulova makes some with incredibly good specs for the price.

Any Marathon TSAR owners here? Looks brutal as fuck.

no

>>14630587
Yeah omega quartz are real head turners

In house movement, power reserve, retro looks.

I actually think they’ve knocked it out of the park with this one.

>>14630713
Yeah they are

So what are your guys thoughts are wearing watches on the underside of the wrist? I’ve never worn watches since, smartphones. For a period I had to wear one and holy shit the phone grab is 10x slower and more annoying but I only prefer it if it is under and not at the traditional location. Feels like I’m twisting my arm to see it comfortably if I am doing anything else at the moment.

I bought the Tisell Marine dive before hey were super hyped.

I feel kinda off knowing it's pretty much a submariner clone. I've had a couple of people ask if it's a Rolex I usually give the jokey reply " It is if I don't keep my hands still for too long" I stopped wearing for a while after the first person asked.

Isn't it about 3 grand? I prefer the C65 Sandhurst.

>>14627682
Because of such a debt?

>>14629254
looks like something from aliexpress

>>14630439
There are very few quartz watches that look the part and arent overpriced.

Is there a better alternative than seiko 5s for smallish dress watches? My ideal is an oyster perpetual 36mm but I'm saving my money for a house mortgage first. budget is less than $500.

>>14630587
Bulova precisionists and accutron iis are very large though, no less than 41mm

>>14629417
very kickable head, 8/10 would do

>>14630965
Just be warned those cheap seikos are worse than shit.

>>14630439
How could anyone miss the point this much? Hey bro that classic Ferrari is fkn gay a Tesla is better in every way stop larping!

Get the house first then think about getting a nice watch.

>>14630965
Ignore >>14631223 get the Seiko you want and keep saving for your house. Wanted a nice watch for years, but am happy I bought a house first. The younger you start, the better.

I'm currently wearing the exact seiko
>>14627603
and can confirm it's pretty nice. Much higher quality than the timex (nicer details, sweep seconds, thicker band, etc.)

However prior to this I wore a timex weekender and it was fucking indestructible. I'd throw it ten feet onto concrete to demonstrate for people how resistant it was. Caseback came off when I dropped it in a gym shower (while showering) and it was fine after I put it back on. It definitely is less slick and detailed than the seiko though.

Haven't beat up the seiko as much, but it seems pretty reliable.
