was it autism?

>>14649263
Asperger's was not officially considered an autism spectrum disorder until fairly recently. The amount of negative publicity out there surrounding a chemical change that allows people to think more logically is absurd. Neurotypicals have no idea how shallow and petty they look to people who are able to use their minds differently.

I kind of wish there was a mens version of this watch.

>>14649234
I feel like Casio needs to put some more effort on the movement that goes into their higher end watches. I know it can sync or whatever but at this price-point I want HAQ like what GS and citizen are doing.

Where do I go to fufill my brass and leather fantasies for under $200? I like the thin rim on this and the real numbers

>>14649180
Absolutely based

>>14649307
this watch was $17 at target. Its fun, i can leave it on the table of the Bridgeport or lathe and not have to worry if it gets btfo

>>14649300
>I know it can sync or whatever but at this price-point I want HAQ like what GS and citizen are doing.

The Marathon TSAR that lists for $900 uses a $15 ETA movement that doesn't meet HAQ standards.

Need one of these royal oak knockoffs once they hit 3k. Can't decide on dial color though.

>>14649300
Have you seen the movement in action? Yeah it has the quartz tick but many other operations are completely smooth

>>14649334
Who cares about the price. The fucking dial is square. It's basically an Apple Watch on a bracelet.

Rate my recent pickup

>>14649347

mr-g gshocks start at 2.6k

https://www.gshock.com/watches/mr-g

> Accuracy: ±15 seconds per month (with no GPS signal reception, signal calibration and mobile link function)

is unacceptable for a quartz watch at this price point.

>>14649346
I dont care about the tick. I'm complaining about the accuracy.

>>14649405
Holy shit I had no idea G-Shocks came in models that expensive. No way would I pay that much for what's an overgrown digital sport watch. My retarded Precista was $275 and it's a 300M quartz that meets HAQ and Chronometer standards.

>>14649418
I mean to be somewhat fair to the gshock it will be much more accurate than your watch in practice since it syncs with like 3 different things. It also has a ton of features. I just wish they spent more time refining the movement itself.

still overpriced and ugly tho

What's a watch you're guaranteed to make money on, even with wear?

An already beat up vintage Explorer?

>>14649418
Hardened titanium with dlc coating.

It's almost like materials play a role in pricing. I mean why is the ss 116710 10k and the 116718 30k. THEYRE THE SAME WATCH BRO

>>14649500
The ar factory does it better now. But yeah get a rep, put an ETA in there and grease those gaskets.


Or get a mr-g B)

>>14649458
>>14649480
Most watches from Rolex you'll make money on if you wait long enough especially if you buy pre-owned. Wear shouldn't affect price too much as long as the watch is serviced first as that'll cleanup most watches to almost new. The only other brand at that level, or frankly even better, is Patek. A PP Perpetual Calendar is guaranteed to return a profit going by their track record. Just don't overpay just to get the current hot watch. Paying over list for a current release is retarded.

However most of us aren't able to afford watches in that price range. So unless you get lucky and happen to purchase the new hot model early or find a really good deal somewhere don't buy a watch expecting to make money. Watches are like cars. Buy new and suffer instant depreciation but watches are unique in that after that they should retain their value and possibly, slowly, increase.

>>14649503
Tudor is a non-solution to Rolex problems
the 58 has a waiting list just like Rolexes
some other Black Bays look cool but have ETAs in them
do you want a "Style" or "Ranger" or whatever? lol

Can I get an ID on this watch or something that looks like it? thanks

>>14649511
The more expensive Pateks can't possibly retain value can they? Grand complications and shit

>>14649489
why are all your watches in a fridge my dude

got the same watch for $10

>>14649489
Quartz watches get called HAQ around 15s per year, and Swiss chronometer certification is 25s per year. A cheapass ETA movement with thermal compensation meets those requirements, which a ton of more expensive quarts watches don't.

>>14649516
The really high end complications (repeaters, sonnerie etc) are even better because they are true limited editions. You need to be a good valued customer already before you can even apply to buy one and that application is reviewed and has to be accepted by Patek, often by Stern himself. So most people can't buy them at list and they rarely come on the market. If they do it's at large premiums.

>>14649527
25s per year? i thought cosc was within +/- 5 seconds a DAY

>>14649531
orly I thought they would just go to whoever will pay since they're so expensive and the profit margin would be so good for Patek
obviously the underpriced stuff relative to demand is impossible to source now (time and date only Nautilus)

>>14649536
COSC requirements for quartz watches is +/0.07 seconds/day and must be thermocompensated. My $150 Ecodrive doesn't even have that and it's still 0.04 even though I've worn it every day for six years.

I want to love high-end watches but when someone's happy getting +/-5s out of a $5000 watch I can't take it seriously.

>>14649539
Keep the AKA and the Elektronicka, sell the reset and buy a real watch

>>14649334
>squares are octagons
The absolute state of /wt/

>>14649353
Do you like it so far?

>>14649537
Patek are the best in the industry at knowing the client base. They make certain watches it's impossible to buy no matter how rich you are. That kind of exclusivity other brands would kill for.

The current Nautilus craze and to a less extent the Aquanaut too is being driven by people who have never bought a Patek before and aren't their usual customer - and flippers of course. As far as Patek is concerned they always think very long term and likely just see the sport watch craze as a fad. They'll still be selling high-end precious metal complications to the ultra rich 20 years from now.

>>14649545
No one buying a high-end mechanical watch is as anal about accuracy as quartz fans tend to be. +/-5spd is irrelevant compared to all the other factors involved in that kind of purchase.

What's the most expensive watch someone on /fa/ owns, anwyay?

>>14649575
Probably the collector in San Francisco, with the Lange, Patek, couple Rolexes, maybe a Cartier.

So now that the skx013 is discontinued whats the go to sub 40mm dive watch for poorfags? Looking at the orient mako usa II but I would prefer something smaller.

>>14649567
could Richemont or Swatch buy them?

>>14649575
Either Lawyer anon or Chocolate anon though there have been some posters with very high end pateks too.

>>14649586
Kind of a pointless question as Patek aren't for sale. They are a privately run family company and barring some kind of financial disaster will almost certainly remain that way.

>>14649575

What kind of watch should I get that'll make women want to fuck me? Don't care about the style. Maybe $3K budget max. I need something that'll mog all the assholes that girls usually talk to.

I mean it's jojo, its limited, its still technically skx even if its the new one. So you can't really get stung by buying it if you like it and the show, I can't imagine them being easy to get a year from now at retail

>>14649629
>still technically skx
it's not even a Diver watch

>>14649621
Do you like it? Do you like jojo? If yes to both, buy it

>>14649629
That’s what I imagine as well. Apparently it’s only a limited run and their previously done monster hunter watches are hard to come by, so I’m willing to bet it’s going to be the same one for this.

It’s just a steep price man.

>>14649608
Women don't know about watches so your attempt is futile. Those that do are way out of your league and $3k is a pittance to them and they'll spot cheap trash a mile away.

>>14649635
>>14649629
You absolute faggots have no idea what you’re doing

>>14649645
you are braindead, regardless whether you like the watch or not does not fucking matter. If you know anything about the psychos that buy up everything limited they do, let alone jojo, you know he can't be burned on it.

>>14649662
yes

>>14649641
So then what's your bright idea? I'm better looking and more fun to be around than most guys, but I can't get anywhere until I do something to pass the income test for these sluts.

Couldn't get the steel for retail so I coped with this ugly shit

>>14649680
Apparently zoomers actually try to date on there now

>>14649691
>zoomers

I know people in their 30s who've gotten married off it.

>Excuse me, do you have the time?

>>14649689
I could have got the steel version instead of that one. I was offered the 5711A for $45k and the 5711R for $47k at the same dealer. So at the time the steel was going for x2 list price, the rose gold at essentially list.

So from a purely commercial view I had to pay $2k more to get a completely solid gold version. Seemed like a no brainer to me. Also from seeing it in person and wearing it on the wrist the R is simply superior. I didn't regret my choice then and I certainly don't regret my choice now.

Anyway I own a blue dial AP RO and that is a better watch than the equivalent steel Nautilus. However the 5711R is pure sex in watch form and I've not seen an AP that comes close.

>>14649711
it's not a no brainer the steel one is 100x more exclusive
RO>nautilus is obvious, the nautilus is actually ugly in any metal

>>14649713
Actually the Rose Gold Nautilus is more exclusive right now. It's the choice of some very well know collectors atm.

The idiots paying three times list price for the steel version on the grey market are just that. Idiots.

>>14649621
I preordered two of the Diavolo one (one was as a back up in case the order for the other didn't go through)

I'm going to wear one of them, but keep the other for a year or so before reselling it. The last time Seiko did Jojo watches they went from $400 retail to $2000 so I figure I might as well.

What cases do you like?

>>14649736

>>14649724
you're supposed to lie that you got it for retail and be respected for it

>>14649746
No one would believe you considering how long the wait lists are (7+ years) and new buyers can't even put their name on a wait list.

>>14649698
Who the hell would marry someone who has casual sex with strangers on tinder? What could go wrong?

>>14649764
I presume those particular people weren't looking for casual sex. Tinder's being used for real dating by a lot of people now. It's what you make of it.

And really, pretty much anyone with a social life has had some casual sex at some point. I didn't even get my first kiss until I was 26 and I've still had a couple flings in between the girlfriends. Not Tinder-casual, but like multi-week relationship casual.

>>14649733
How in the fuck did you preorder it?

>>14649764
normal people have sex. I don't think that applies to you anon.

>>14649673
Aren't the monsters 43mm? Also the bezel is hideous, looks like a g-shock.

>>14649586
Like the other guy said, they're independent and that's considered a very good thing.
Richemont, Swatch, LVMH etc., are umbrellas that own a bunch of shit.
Means that there's a lot of sharing around of internals and expertise and though you'd think that was a good thing in theory, it ends up meaning that your panerai, or vacheron, montblanc or whatever may just be a label slapped onto a watch when all the design or engineering came from a different brand in the family (richemont does this), or you're just buying actual shitters like tag (lvmh's case) or buying stuff where whole bracelets or even integral internal components are made in some cheapo third world country (like with swatch who have factories all over the world). Rolex and patek only have their swiss factories and that's it. Can you trust a conglomerate not to take advantage of the fact that they access to cheaper labour if they had the option?

Independents like rolex and patek are not subject to the fickle whims of private equity like the shareholder appeasing aforementioned conglomerates; they think in lineage, not stock price. Long term, not short term (at least in theory). This lends them a sort of long term , assurance which is at odds with the more cutthroat pragmatism of your average publicly traded company. Collectors know this, hence why those two brands stand above the rest in terms of value even if there exist other brands that may or may not surpass them horologically or aesthetically.

If patek had been bought by one of the big names that coalesced around the time that the swiss were getting their shit back together, they would not have the same standing that they do today.

If all of a sudden Stern decided to sell off somehow to swatch or richemont or whatever then I believe that patek's standing and value on the 2nd hand market would definitely drop.

Independence is its own mark of prestige.
Patek, Audemars, Rolex. Three swiss privates that anybody gives a shit about.

WATCHES I'VE SEEN ON PEOPLE SINCE I GAINED THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE BRANDS

ubiquitous quartz casio/citizen
several orient bambino automatics
shitty seiko quartz's and a few seiko 5s
one panerai
one omega seamaster
one rolex submariner and a couple datejusts

That's it. It's pretty boring out there.

>>14650659
Where do you live? Best things I ever saw were two ROs and 1 Nautilus white dial (nautilus could've been fake as I don't know the guy).

>>14650634
Indeed.

>>14650659
> It's pretty boring out there.
What did you expect? Considering that Patek only make 50000 watches a year, AP 40000, Lange 5000 watches a year, FPJ 800 and so on. So the number of "good" watches in circulation is low and the people that buy them are not usually walking around with them it's never going to be common to see one irl.

I personally see many Rolex though.

I know people generally only post higher end stuff here but rocking my Junkers Iron Annie today. Eventually hoping to replace it with a Damasko but that's not high priority atm and can wait a few years.

How times have changed. I remember when brosnan bond wore the seamaster it was a big joke and everyone called the seamaaster an ugly piece of crap. If you keep pushing an unpopular design for 25 years do people eventually come around?

>>14650659
I mostly see apple watches, but i've seen a few rolexes

>>14651083
Yes with the exception of their cases which I think are actually made by a division of AP. Richemont leave Lange mostly to themselves but the rumour is that they have forced Lange to make a new sports watch model.

>>14651026
It's right on the line there. It doesn't actually extend pass the borders of my wrist if pressed against it, but it's tall enough that it almost looks as it does when resting there naturally. I would have probably gotten something smaller for myself but it was a gift from my fiancee.

>>14651116

I have been invited to an exclusive Lange event for select customers towards the end of October and I have a feeling / hope that will be where it's announced. Fingers crossed.

>>14650732

Oh shit I like it a lot, I didn't know this was a thing. I have a DW5610 so one Gshock/digital beater watch is more than enough but if I didn't I would buy that for sure.

Because I bought a Lange at the boutique where the event is being hosted so my name is on their system. The Lange CEO and watch makers are attending and the invite mentions "other surprises". That combined with the rumour I've heard that the new Lange model is being announced in October makes me think it could be at this event. Guess I'll find out.

Yes. It is the power of marketing. Case in point: this entire meme board lol. All kidding aside it's really weird when you catch yourself being memed into liking something because of marketing. Tastes change over time no dobt about it, but I think constant exposure to media has eroded our sense of self and it is harder for us to see what we as a person like or want to do. Very harmful to western cultures I think.

>>14651698
I just find it werid how something that was considered a fucking joke in the 90's is actually taken seriously now, apparently just because omega stuck to their guns for 25 years. Objectively maybe sticking to such a terrible, unpopular design for 25 years was a crime against humanity, BUT apparently pouring tens of millions of dollars into marketing can turn that around somehow.

Same thing happened with the nautilus. Thing was an abomination to patek fans when it came out. Its still ugly desu. But because a bunch of people want it everyone starts liking it. Just mob psychology I guess.

>>14651678
Submariner

>>14650249
thanks. I looked at an armani that looked simliar too.

>>14651720
I can agree with that the nautlius truly is a shameless attempt to capitalize of the success of the royal oak.
You could argue that it's a financial success but in the eyes of the connoisseur it's an inferior, ugly piece of crap,

>>14651730
But which one? Also, I honestly find the SKX007 looking better than the Submariners.

>>14651578
i consider the inginieur the most beautiful watch of all time.
also, don't wanna get fucked in the ass with service costs of an in house mouvement.
also who the fuck has the balls to walk in the streets with a 20k object at plain sight ?

>>14651772
Probably because the only people who'd know it's $20k are those who'd be able to afford it?

>>14651736
Vintage Submariner up until 1980s at the latest.

>>14651720
>>14651734
The Nautilus was created partially due the the success of the RO but it was more a case of Patek wanting to have a Sports offering for it's main customer base who wanted a casual watch and were going elsewhere to buy them.

It was always regarded as one of the inferior Patek watches that existed simply because it filled a niche.

cop?

>>14651772
I like it better than the royal oak, nautilus and overseas too. Overseas is the fucking worst what a fucking abomination.

>>14651793
The fuck? Over.

>>14651787
It's not just inferior to other patek products it's inferior to the royal oak it's supposed to compete with and not even by a little biit it's not even close.
I consider nautilus vs royal oak to be a pleb filter. If you buy the nautlius you're a tasteless pleb end of story.

>>14651660
Be nice to him.

Imagine you went out and spent 2. 5k on a casio because its made from the same steel as samurai swords and or some shit.

You know its hideous and your family are going to have an aneurysm when you tell them you spent that much on a watch made by a calculator company

So you head to the most autistic place you can think of, and even they tell you it's an ugly watch for a many child.

So your left with this expensive thing on your frail little arm that makes you look like a 3rd world AIDs patient with a novelty wall clock belted to your arm.

What would you do?

>>14651678
Ceramic Seamaster 300m, pre wavy dial.

Why are modern watches so boring and soulless? How are vintage watches so much more interesting, even quartz shitters?

>>14651794
it's very hard to find second hand, looks like all the ingie holders seem to like it.

The steel nautilus at list price was one of the cheapest watches Patek sold before the current craze.

It's OK I'll humour you and your ugly watch, what's the time in Azerbaijan?

You could get a MDV106-1AV
Depending what you mean by cheap you could cheap gshock analogue or digital. They might be a little more robust

This actually looks great. It’s reminiscent but not a full blown copy. Thanks anon, will look more into this.

It's more expensive than what you posted. However I hear they have good sales usually around Xmas. Might be able to get a bargain on ebay.

I've been looking at the blue dialed C65.

Does anybody have a comprehensive list of sterile watches && places to look? I'm open to modding (Invicta pro dive / seikos), but I am fascinated by brands like parnis making "homages" with no logos

>>14652653
I've heard they put movements in without any lubricant, just straight from their supplier
I'd stick to Seiko movements unless you wanna bring a fake nobrand Rolex to a watchmaker for service

>>14652191
>skeleton watch with an undecorated movement for £5.3k

>>14652216
Why? Because of that nigger musical?

>>14652597
The first one is the Orient Kamasu, the second one is just a rolex Submariner wannabe, the third one is not worth looking for.

>>14652346
I used to have a 36mm Club, it was a great daily watch. But I sold it as I haven't really worn it since I got my Seamaster last year.

>>14652530
Invicta chunky watches and fashion shitters like Daniel Wellington and MVMT

>>14649539
how's the oceANUS? it looks really unremarkable there

Do you guys discuss smart watches over here too or they are too cheap? Kinda looking for recommendations

>>14652750
It's going to look unremarkable in every shot/video online, the polishing has to be experienced irl. I really like it, I dont understand anyone choosing the t200 since titanium is a big part of getting one

>>14652577
At least you weren't playing basketball whilst wearing your Thom brown tailored short shorts when this happened. Happened to me once. Very embarrassing.

>>14652597
Elektronika 5, orient kamasu with kanji date wheel, phoibos PY007C

>>14652731
Shut up piglet, the phoibos is better then tisell/steinhart alternatives, both in value for money and styling. And the elektrobika is fantastic and has features that set it apart from casio, even with Ukrainians selling then for more the their worth

>>14652793
Lot of typos, I'm drinking

>>14652787
it's on my wish list, along with a jade seiko monster, and a hamilton pilot day date.

>>14652772
the Nokia Steel HR looks pretty normal, and I love the subdial display.

>>14652427
Amphibias are the most customisable watch on the planet

>>14652798
It's a nice always there piece to throw on when you want something nicer that you dont have to set. I liked the ice monster which I think came out around the same time. If the jade is around 600 I'd wait to see some images of what the new alpinists will look like, completely different type of watch but still, dropping a decent chunk for a seiko so I'd look at everything twice

>>14652808
It looks pretty sweet

wakey wakey

To the guys above who say the Nautilus is worse than the RO, why? I like the Nautilus better because of the design, but I don't think one is better than the other. Is one movement inferior? Care to explain why?
Also the RO is so ubiquitous it's boring to me. I feel they went full Omega and made a million different variants and models.

>>14652975
Does any line here own a 556?

Really tempted to pick one up in the new year. See if there is an uptick in them after Xmas.

I was looking at a BB36. But fell in love with 556i at half the price.

>>14653219
Get the mother of pearl dial, essentially same price

>>14652830
I really liked my amphibia, except the crown messed up on it. I went diving with it and all. Quite impressive to see your automatic keep chugging along 30ft below.

The curved glass is seriously addicting. Something I can't really find a replacement in other watches.

Thoughts on the SDGM003?

Opinions on Seiko 5 watches?

>>14653511
They upset the s*nn fags so they're alright in my book.

>>14653511
R*ddit watch

>>14653511
No manual winding so youll have to flail your arms like a retard in the morning if you didn't move enough the previous day or you swapped it out for another watch over the weekend. I wouldn't bother. I'd rather get a 100€ quartz.

why did genta put nautilus bracelet on the ingenieur in 1976? how did PP allow it

>>14653541
pics

>>14653545

Name a better movement

Protip: you can't

Does anybody here have a G757?

Do they still hold up?

>>14653554
Genta was only contracted by PP for 6 weeks while he designed the Nautilus for them. Outside of that he could do whatever he wanted to.

>>14652725
well. it is only ONE side of the movement.

>>14653565
he made 2 watches in 1 year and they are so similar. The iwc never took off tho lol

>>14653568
Yeah, it's only the side you see every time you check the time.

Is there really no good "one watch collection" watch for a regular working class boomer that's cheaper than Rolex?

>>14653601

>>14653601
> "one watch collection"
That's not a collection. It's a watch.

>>14653515
>>14653524
>>14653540
What should I get instead? It was supposed to be my first watch, but I'm open for other suggestions

>>14653625
Rolex Submariner

>>14653625
Seiko 5 is fine as a first watch.

>>14653601
octo finissimo

>>14653625
Seiko 5 is fine, don't bother with the morons. If you want a more modern movement and can shell out another $40 or so, an Orient Mako/Ray is a pretty good option that comes with hand-winding and hacking for around $140-160.
Citizen also makes quite a few decent automatic watches in that $80-150 range. If you can find one, you could easily get a Vostok in that price range and they have a pretty big following here.

>>14653601
There's no such thing as a "one watch collection." You can only own one watch and you can have one watch that's pretty much good for all occasions, but that's not a "collection" any more than having one nice car makes you a car collector. The only people telling you that you need to "collect" a Rolex are people who will make a buck off of you "collecting" that Rolex from their site/sponsor.

And autistic retards on 4channel who got caught up in the marketing

>>14651149
Eh, it fits me better than most watches I see guys wearing out in public, as well as most people who post watches they wear in the threads. There aren't very many people who aren't fat as hell that can pull of 52mm lug to lug without it being pretty close to too big.

>>14649129
>Suggest a watch for me
minimum 100 Meter WR
decent bracelet with solid end links and a
milled clasp
Automatic
Not a diver

Budget under 400 dollar

>>14651401
Not a bad looking watch on a bracelet, though if I were getting a Sinn that wouldn't be my first choice. Atm I'm pretty back and forth between the Sinn 104 st sa i w, and the Damasko DA47 (both on bracelet rather than leather). Usually those are a bit more than I'm willing to spend on an accessory like a watch, but I'm going to be turning 30 soon so I was planning on getting myself something nice and getting it engraved as a sort of "life long watch."

>>14653726
Here's your Sinn bro: https://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/144_St_DIAPAL.htm

>>14653601
Omega Speedmaster is what you're looking for. The perfect boomerwatch.

>>14653680
>>14653616
You're either retarded or can't read or both. It specifically says "one watch collection" WATCH, this means a versatile watch for practically any occasion, which redditors call a "collection" as you really should know.

>>14653742
>world time chronograph
yeah if the world was stuck in 1973 HA HA AHA

So what's the deal with Roger Smith?
Are his watches all
>gorillion year waiting list like Dufour
>only 5 people in the world are allowed to buy them
sorta deal?
Or does he sell to anyone that is able to buy?
Anyone seen and held a R.W.Smith in person?
What were your impressions?
They seem to go for a fuck ton more than the only hand made watches I've ever seen in person (Voutilainen).

>>14653751
I know what he was saying and asking for. I'm just saying he's better off not thinking of it as a collection because it's not. There's tons of watches that would be fine for being someone's only watch at pretty much any price point, but he doesn't want to be told that. He wants to be told he needs the Rolex for internet flex points.

>>14653718
Just get a SARB and get it over with.

>>14653774
Never seen one, never seen a boutique either. But I doubt they're on Dufour's level.

>>14653841
He doesn't have boutiques, just his small workshop in the irish sea.
I've never seen one at a watch fair.
Every single piece of his that miraculously comes up on the 2nd hand market sells in an eyeblink.
I don't think his workshop churns out many watches a year.
I would like to see on with my own eyes one day.
Dufour most likely outdoes Smith finishing wise, but what intrigues me about Smith is that, being Daniel's protege, his watches use the Co-Axial in its pure, unadulterated form unlike that McMovement omega ended up cobbling together for their co-axials.

>>14653861
I have seen RS watches in person. You are right that Dufour have better finishing. You can see in Smith's watches that they are 100% handmade as they aren't perfect and contain flaws. The style of his watches is very much in the old traditional style of centuries ago - think Breguet. He's also much more interested in movements and new technologies than Dufour is.

>>14653884
I see, about as much as I expected "perfection" wise.
I like the somewhat antiquated styling.
When you saw them in person, we're they for sale? Or was it waiting list only?

new semenmaster 300m or lelagos?

>>14653826
i would have to import one which would bump the cost up to above 500. Also the bracelet doesn't match the case well

>>14653928
They were for sale, pre-owned, and for way more than I was willing to pay. The designs I appreciate but are too old fashioned for me to personally wear.

>>14653938
Where'd you see them?
>>14653929
semenmaster

>>14653861
They make 10 a year, talking about possibly bumping it up to 13.

>>14653958
At a dealer who specialised in independents. Saw some F.P.Journe and some Voutilainen there too.

>>14653971
Damn, what city if you don't mind me asking? I have never even heard of Voutilainen before but the dials look fantastic.

>>14653718
Certina and Tissot have a bunch of shit in that price range but I have no idea about the bracelets. You can get a COSC certified Tissot with 80 hr power reserve and 100m WR for like $280 but it's pretty ugly.

HAPPENING

NEW THREAD

>>14653999

>>14653999

>>14653999

>>14653977
It was in London. A great city if you are into watches t.b.h

>>14654003
Yeah, that is apparent. Sadly I'm not there lol, not that I could afford independent watchmaker's timepieces.

>>14653938
I see. Again pre-owned. I wonder what they cost fresh out the door?
Considering
>>14653962
a considerable sum.
Thing is, I'm more attracted to actual pocket watches in that styling than wrist watches, like the one Daniels himself used to sport on his person, and I'd love to have a modern english pocket to go with my vintage english ones.
I'm not an arab prince though, so commissioning a custom piece is out of the question lol
Breguet is far more accessible for a similar looks as you say, but somehow not as attractive to me.

>Voutilainen before but the dials look fantastic.
They do, don't they?
It was strange seeing them in person after having looked at them for so long on online pics.
I dream of a Decimal repeater, again a pocket because I don't like large heavy wristwatches.
It's so much more intuitive than the standard minute repeating mechanism.

>>14654028
If you have to ask you can't afford one. afaik they start from at least £100k

>>14653625
Ignore the no manual winding anon, the new 2019 Seiko 5s have the 4R36 movement which has both manual winding and stop second hand features.

I have an older one but the lack of manual winding is not that big of an issue anyways.

>>14654028
The decimal repeater is very interesting, I also like that you want pocket watches, as I could never see myself wearing one.

>>14653935
There's not a lot else in that price range that fits what you're looking for without being a diver. Citizen has a lot of really well made stuff in that range for eco drives, and they do have automatics in that ballpark too. Maybe look into them?
