/fa/ - Fashion

Truly is a shit thread full of shitters with their shit watches.

People who hate on GShock are wristlets and have never worked a day in their life.

First for pony cum jar

>>14693298
I'm tempted to get that purely for being an "icon in media" because Bandersnach Cabblepop wore it in Sherlock.

Hey, I'm thinking of getting a classic casio watch. I want it golden. Should I get one fully golden or those with the black front

Thoughts on this Timex shitter?

>>14693387
Doesn't look awful but what's the fucking point of those 12 minute graduations to 3 hrs on the bezel

>>14693280
But I work so I can afford something better than a GShock.

>>14693464
if you work in the field or a job that can be physical why would you ever wear a nice watch that can get fucked up?

I work in a hospital so i refuse to wear anything nice

>>14693469
Well sure that's appropriate but there is no need to hate on everyone else that can wear something better to work.

>>14693483
>Well sure that's appropriate but there is no need to hate on everyone else that can wear something better to work.

No i just think most people who are watch snobs look down on gshock. It isnt elegant or sophisticated by any means but my gshock will still work if it gets run over by a car. i cant say the same for any rolex/ap/PP etc.

And just to be clear I am not saying your rolex or ap or PP would ever end up getting run over its just more of a testament to its durability

>>14693402
Apparently this lets you measure time up to 15 minutes with 1 minute resolution and up to 1 hour with 5 minute resolution.

>>14693492
> i just think most people who are watch snobs look down on gshock.
but you just said you wear one to work because it's likely to get fucked up. so in your own words it's a worthless watch that doesn't matter if it damaged. you just buy a new one.

>>14693505
>so in your own words it's a worthless watch that doesn't matter if it damaged.
its not worthless in that regard. its just a tough no bullshit watch.

I often have to log the time for things and digital watches are so much fucking easier to read than analog. only taking a second to read the time versus reading an analog is much more convenient. Plus it is resin so it can be cleaned so much faster and it has been beat to shit so far and has almost no scratches on it

The DW5600 is honestly becoming more of an everyday watch despite me owning a few tool watches.

>>14693387
ebay search montres plongee

look for a 60 dollar one, buy one that you like

>>14693519
They honestly all look pretty hideous, I like the timex one cause it's actually pretty small and I have Manley wrists, typically not a fan of diver styles either

>>14693552
>they all look hideous
shit, I think theyre fucking gorgeous

timex are pretty much exactly what you pay for, the quality of the watch is abysmal and mostly made out of plastic besides the case, the seconds hand is very rarely aligned to seconds markers, and the lume just isnt there

>>14693552
usually if someone wants a sub 100 dollar diver, best option is casio duro or vostok amphibia

NAME a more CHAD watch than the yellow gold Rolex YachtMaster 2

>44mm so too BIG for your twink WRISTS
>SOLID yellow gold, the COLOR gold is meant to be
>Rolex's MOST complicated movement, HOW does it even WORK? Chad DOES not care

For me, it's the Yachtmaster 2

>>14693570
To each their own, I just don't like large watches typically, atleast not to wear on me, they don't fit my style I'm more reserved. But I've read/watched some reviews on the Navi harbour and most people tend to think it's good for the price

>>14693638
> Rolex's MOST complicated movement,
But that's the Sky Dweller.

>>14693638
yacht master is just a stupid watch that serves no purpose

>>14693689
>woooah sky dweller woooah annual calendars

>>14693704
That’s the point, retard

>>14693724
BUT WHY DOES IT NEED TO EXIST?

WHAT DOES IT DO FOR SAILORS?

>>14693726
THE POINT IS THAT IT IS A MASSIVE CHUNK OF GOLD THAT CHAD WEARS AND DOES NOT KNOW OR CARE WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO

THE POINT IS THAT THE WATCH IS SO ABSURDLY GAUDY THAT NORMIES AND VIRGINS ARE TURNED OFF BY IT BECAUSE THEY CANT FIND A PRACTICAL USE FOR IT, WHILE CHAD SEES IT AS A BIG SHINY HUNK OF GOLD THAT HE CAN USE TO HYPNOTIZE BITCHES INTO TOUCHING HIS PENIS WHILE HE IS ON HIS YACHT

>>14693740
You honestly have no idea what the real world is like do you?? Go outside some time.

Based. Before the CHADmaster 2 it was the iced out yachtmaster 1 that shit on everything else at the club. The CHADmaster 2 is now on a whole new level.

>Resale is worse than Patek.
>girls won't suck you dick like a Rolex.

Vacheron is shit.

>>14694676
Isnt that the Maltese cross? Not the iron cross?

Your other points are shit. Who cares what a whore thinks. And you should never buy a watch just to resell.

>>14694660

>>14694721
>he doesn't buy watches to flip them

I bet you buy new cars at MSRP too, retard.

Right /wt/ I'm in dire need of assistance and wisdom. My 21st birthday is coming up and I'll roughly be getting £3000 to spend on any watch of my choice. I already own a burgundy Tudor Black Bay (in house movement, none of that ETA dogshit they were doing a few years back). I preferably need a dress watch, was thinking of something along the lines of pic related, please help me anons since I'm pretty out of the watch loop.

>>14694766

SPOOKY!

Is RGM the last non-dogshit American watchmaker?

>>14694797
I'd like RGM more if they weren't so overpriced.
>charging $1250 for an optional hacking lever on some models

>>14694660
Nobody does. VC is great

its just that this faggot >>14694676 on every thread accuses it of having a ""nazi cross"" on it, and is too shit scared to wear one as a result of his PC installed insecurity and blatant surface-level knowledge of horology

imagine getting reprimanded for a watch WEW

>>14694809
>imagine getting reprimanded for a watch WEW

I was referred to the dean of students in college for walking around with this on my backpack. It's literally from an anime about tanks, but I was accused of being a Neo-Nazi.

People will yell at you for your Maltese cross, I assure you.

>>14694770
I love the clean look of thst montblanc, is there any other recommendations?

>>14694766
3000pounds is a pretty big budget for a watxh
There are numerous excellent options at that price point.

Other than dress what could be other requirements?
Size? Complications ? Colour? Materials ?

>>14694832
>>14694827
Oh and would you be considering used or just brand new ?
I get that for a birthday watch you might want a new pieces but you always get better bang for bucks used and watched age wonderfully

Boys I saw a Richard Mille on a chinks wrist the other day

Holy fuck it looked like 20$ trash IRL

any other brands a big let down IRL?
Things I've seen that good up or even look better are
-Rolex
-VC
-AP

IWC/BP/zenith/hubloat all looked disappointing as well

what causes this phenomenon???

>>14694832
>>14694836
Thanks for a response.
As for materials so long as the glass is sapphire I'm happy with a stainless steel casing. Has to be leather strap, either hand wound or automatic, colour can be blue, black or white, and as for size im happy with whatever since my Black Bay fits me fine since its quite large but for an aim lets say 40mm.

About buying used or new is a tough one, i was going to go for used but my family who are gifting me the money felt uncomfortable with me spending money for something used, so its preferable for it to be new (they dont understand how well priced some used watches are, unfortunately).

>>14694839
Proportions, material textures, and design. Most of the ones you mentioned look like plastic mall shit.

>>14694856
>>14694836
Forgot to add, in-house movement is a must aswell

>>14694839
I can say a brand that did the opposite for me. I though panerai looked like shit in videos and pictures but in real life they stood out. They're actually kind of beautiful.

Omega, rolex, zenith, like you say. Are kind of a let down in real life. Though I haven't seen any of the popular models of rolex to be fair. It's always datejust.

>>14694825
Not that small- Not that significant.

For example, you had a patch size *IRON CROSS* (German) on your bag. Some dumbass saw it and got triggered- that's kinda asking for it. And I know I know I watched girls und panzer also but I swear it's not that deep.

I will put money on it people will not notice it. At least people who don't know watches and basic Italian history won't- stop using that argument for VC, it says a lot more about you than the watch.

>>14694865
>>14694856
In house is not that significant today as many brands retool ETA with gadgets to call them in house for marketing purposes.
There are few really complete in house, you'd have to look at high end or brands like Rolex or Seiko.

For your budget you can look at a Cartier Ronde or Tank Solo XL.
Plus: great brand recognition even from non wis (I think of your proud family members). Great looks and classic for a dress watch.
Cons: some watch snobs look down on the brand because it also sells jewelry and quartz watches. The looks are pretty specific and not everybody dig them

>>14694906
Look at Montblanc they have awesoem pièces in your price range
The quantième annuel is rather awesome even if a bit thick

>>14694938
>>14694906
You can get a Nomos Metro which is a pretty rad piece of a watch

>>14694944
Or if it's too bold you can look at an Orion 38. Classic! Even if these golden indexes catch the light in such a warm way

If you are about brand recognition above all you can squeeze in a entry level omega deville but they are rather uninteresting, especially compared to more historic models. Plenty of designs to choose from though

I remember this shitter some years ago was in stock and could be bought pretty easily
this whole watch game and market is a deprecated shitty joke honestly and wearing anything higher than a full digital quartz for function only is not justifiable unless you are a billionaire dinosaur boomer. thoughts on my autistic thoughts lads?

That’s what they retail for, I’m sure some cheeky boomer would try and list it for that.

They are marketing theater, nothing more. In 2020, they are moving leather production to India and abandoning the “American manufacturing” taglines. I know this for a fact. Screencap this post.

IRL they all looked 'meh' except for the enamel dial models.

same as Breguet

In natural light dial and polishing were good but not that great. bracelets were poor. overall design is boring. not as cheap as they used to be.

> *some* Rolex
Oyster Perpetual, Explorer, Milgauss

> Vintage
compared to modern standards they are tiny. despite how good the designs are they too small to wear.

>>14695845
Gotta love Nomos even if they are a bit more expensive than they used to be.

Used you might get an omega AT or seamaster. Or maybe a simple Reverso, but it'd take you some time to track the right piece.
But even in perfect conditions and with paper and box you'll save around 15-25% on retail on most models

>>14695337
Cock and balls

>>14695893
Globally agree.
GS are pretty underwhelming irl after all the hype you read online.

I disagree on Rolex though. The explorer or milgauss may not look like much in pictures but I started considering them as real options after seeing them irl. The blue dial green glass milgauss is a pretty awesome piece

Same for vintages, I love the small size, 33-35mm and actually much prefer them to current larger designs.
I guess that's subjective

wHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS /WT/?

>>14695917
yeah but look at all that fucking corrosion. I've only had mine for a year and the crown + crown tube is all green. I wouldn't trust washing my fucking hands with it.

>>14696030
I was expecting more from the Explorer and Milgauss, maybe too much. Not bad watches but actually viewing them was a let down.

As for vintage I'm not a wristlet so it's like wearing an M&M when compared to the modern standard 39-40mm.

>>14696052
just get the stainless steel signed crown for like $5

>>14696066
t. failed chemistry
the case is still brass and will corrode even faster. plus you'll strip out the crown tube because steel is harder than brass.
it's not that big a deal, just never get it wet and it looks like you have a nasty ass watch is all

>>14696056
I guess there's a matter of expectations. I did not Think much of them in pictures so I was pleasantly surprised.
On the other hand I was browsing frenetically pictures of the Frédérique Constant Slimline moonphase blue dial and was pretty let down when it didn't shine the same way irl

>>14695071
You're treating a watch like a product to tell you the time, like you would treat a Nintendo Switch to play games or a smartphone to do whatever the fuck. Watches aren't like that, if you want to tell the time you can do it better than any watch on your phone at no extra cost. Watches aren't just products you use until a newer better model comes out, at which point you discard the old one.

Think of it more like art, you pay for the craftsmanship, pedigree, etc.

>>14696176
Glad I could be of help.
Now in more general terms I'd like to add that spending 3k on a watch when you are 21 isn't the thing I'd most recommend.
Mainly for two reasons:
1)you probably have little occasion to use such a piece and would be likely to lose it or damage it
2) cost of opportunity; at that age you have plenty of better things to spend that cash on something more useful. You could probably have an awesome trip to Europe or south America for that kind of money. Or just several small holidays with friends during your college years. The Memories and experiences are worth more than owning a watch however nice for these years.
I also believe that it's more satisfactory to buy your first big watches with money you earned yourself and not gifted, but that's me.

All of this is assuming you have a normal financial situation and those things would compete. If you can afford both the watch and the parties/holidays please go for it.

You already own an extremely satisfying piece I believe that hoarding other expensive watches now isn't the best thing you could do. You'll have many years to buy these watches when you are older and have much better income.
I've been there myself many years ago that's why I thought I'd say something

>>14696980
>>14696977
There's also a big cultural thing.
I work in a business selling big industrial projects and, if we mostly deal with corporation we have a pair of family customer. These guys have huge personal net worth (millions of usd) and related incomes but lost of them own Apple watch or other smartshitters
Some of their employees have a sub or a seamaster but they consider it tacky and of bad taste. These boomers enjoy reading their WhatsApp on the watch while in meeting or talking on the phone with their airpods on, like 15yo kids.
One of them has a really cool collection of Patek though and he always ask about my pieces even the Seiko's

>>14696893

No man i completely understand. Im in a pretty good position in my job at the moment (I bought my Tudor with my first paycheck a couple of years back) and i've been working my way up the ladder ever since. I like to think ive got some expereinces under my belt already but maybe you're right, who's to say i can't have more. Im hoping i could get a Nomos and not blow all my money at once aso i can put some aside for holidays and future rainy days. I just want something to remember my 21st by and hopefully have some spending money left over for the road ahead. I appricate the advice though.

>>14696807

My old man has an N1 Rocket. They arent actually Vostok, they are from Lithuania or sth., their movements are japanese I think. The rotor fell off on his, but got fixed. The bezel feels mushy and the watch it really huge, but he has gigawrists, so it fits him well. Also, with the steel bracelet it weighs about a kilo. You overpay way too much for what you get. Some of their designs are....interesting...but the only worthwhile thing about them are probably the tritium tubes.

>>14697335
k now rec a bracelet

>>14697139
I don't think it's possible to even put a Patek on a credit card.

>>14697326
Not a fan of the jubilee, I prefer the superengineer on divers, personally. Wear what you like, famalam.

guess how much this costs

Reminder that this is the kind of girl that owning a Grand Seiko will attract

I like them because they taper, the engineer + tuna looks like it would overwhelm your wrist.

>>14697364
I see your point, it does resemble a self-defense tool.

>>14697362
>mixed race
>shaved armpits, waxed forearms and legs
>balding head
No thanks.

>>14697372
The tuna is THE chad watch though. It basically only stays on your wrist if you're in the upper 10th percentile of free testosterone levels.
If only fagko would release one with the emperor dial + hands and a 6R movement for around 500 bucks. I would buy 2.

Seiko really needs to stop treating the 6r15 movement as a high grade movement. It's barely better than the 7s26 base it's built off.

Seiko watches are becoming more garbage by the year. Its ridiculous the level of trash they put out these days.

Get at a minimum a cosc grade movement you shit head nips that you don't have to drop 3 Grand on in a grand Seiko

>>14697104
A Tangente 33 would set you back 1400usd new.
You can probably find some of the classic models around 1k used.
That's still a good watch but not all of your budget at once.
Think about it.
What do you do in life? Congrats on getting a BB on your first paycheck!!

I've been in your shoes, it gets frustrating reading so much about watches and people who get a new Rolex every other week. There's a frenzy to buy and own expensive pieces when you spend a lot of time on forums and such.
It's good sometimes to step back a bit in the real world where a in-house movement matters to 0.01% of people you talk to and any watch worth more than 50usd is completely crazy.
I find it useful or I'd have used the credit card to get a De Béthune 10 years ago.
So fucking glad I didn't

>>14697356
Don't know the brand/designer
It looks like a 200usd fashio' shutter
I'm gonna take a wild guess and imagine it's one of those retarded brands that want to charge 10k for this retardation

I would love to liquidate my collection but I don't think I would get any buyers honestly. I have a bunch of different watches at different prices. I just wish the one watch I wanted wasn't so pricey.

>>14697431
What's your grail?
Post pic of collection
Usually you'll sell 20% of it super easily, some time to sell another 60% and spend forever getting rid of the last 20%.

I'm literally crying

>>14696970
my fucking sides

>>14697445
Mostly shitters

Orient Seiko Casio Bulova Steihart

I do have a Ball Oris and Sinn as my higher end ones

I would love a Tudor Black Bay or a Rolex explorer

>>14694906
lol I have a Tank Solo and receive snide remarks from some white 30 something ladies and old white dudes. Maybe they're mad that some young asian dude wearing chucks and jeans is wearing it? I don't even know, it's not even that expensive of a watch. Probably doesn't help I look 8 years younger than my actual age

Get in here, gents.

https://youtu.be/xI7Rj_TKHA0

>>14697469
>ball
>sinn
>high end

pick none

>>14697541
Most people outside of wis or rich assholes would not spend so much on a warch.

Looking back I wish I just waited and bought a Tudor instead of my Oris and Sinn.

Why does TGV shill squale?

They seem like downright shitters

The most beautiful Omega ever made

>>14697561
because he's a paid shill, he most definitely gets a cut of their sales

>>14697578
>>14697561
Squale are pretty nice for the price range, better than Seiko/Orient and almost as good as Omega or Tudor.

>>14697583
fuck of tgv youre not welcome here

I want to get this

Thoughts guys?

>>14697600
Get it, maybe you can get a gf like the qt Seiko ambassadoress Misty Copeland.

>>14697600
Get a regular blumo

>>14697583
>Better than orient or Seiko
>Almost as good as omega or Tudor

I can't see any spec of a squale watch that would fit any of these assumptions. And I do think they are a pretty decent brand

>>14697643
Uhh retard that is a samurai not a sumo

>>14697613
armhairs are a major dealbreaker

>>14697566
Hmmm hmm

>>14697508
What kind of remarks did you receive?

>it's not even that expensive of a watch
Dude, a lot of people your age have cars that are cheaper than this watch. It's definitely a very pricey item, and Cartier does convey an image of luxury and glamour.

>>14697677

>>14697659
This is exactly why you should get a sumo

>>14697694
The leaf hands are absolutely stunning.
I love bi-tone dials on vintage pieces, they have a nice art deco feeling

I'm looking to buy a formal watch as a gift for my dad, somewhere around $500 to spend and I'm having a hard time making a decision.
What would /wt/ recommend?

>>14697706
Used 38mm hamilton intra-matic maybe?

>>14697701
>>14697694

>>14697706
First of all, unless your dad is a wis douche bag or the watch is really ugly, any father will love a watch he received from his child.
Second, non wis only care about looks and maybe precision.
Don't overthink it

Does your dad already own or has owned a watch?

>>14697723
While I got some used watched for some of my landmarks, I think it's complicated to gift pre-owned watches on birthdays etc to regular people

>>14697730
He's not really into watches, he's an old fashioned type who would use the same watch for as long as it would still work.
I was looking at a few and narrowed it down to a Hamilton, Frederique Constant or a Raymond Weil but thought maybe I could get some recommendations that I hadn't thought of yet.

>>14697469
It's a cool collection
I'm a dress watch person so it doesn't do much for me desu.
I'd probably flip everything minus the Oris, and the Casio's but it's up to you.
Some people like to consolidate and only have 2-3 expensive watches they wear all the time.
Some have 70 different gshocks in all the colours available.
I'm personally a bit in the middle, with several lower end pieces to have variety and combine with outfits and mood but currently adquiring higher and higher end pieces.
I try to buy better (or at least more expensive) watches but I wouldn't get rid of most of the pieces I have now as they all have history with me or a special quirk that scratches a personal itch

Godspeed anon

>>14697738
500 usd Is a bit tricky as better value will be with brands like Seiko or Tissot yet you are close to entry level on some more prestigious brands like the ones you cited.
From what you say maybe a durable toolwatch would be best ?
I'd mention citizen Eco-Drive because it's fucking indestructible and some of their designs are pretty okay but I think you are looking for something else.

>>14697747
He usually buys junk ten dollar watches and abuses them until they quit and then buys another, so normally I wouldn't think about buying an upscale watch. But some time back he told me about a watch that his father owned and how much it meant when it was passed down to him, and long story short he no longer has his dad's watch anymore.
So I was thinking of getting him something a little upscale as a gift. I'm sort of leaning towards a Hamilton if I can find one at a decent price.

>>14693177
whats the point of the hamilton khaki? the seiko equivalent is just too competitive. especially since the hamilton name isnt worth much premium

>>14697840
I've had both and can tell you that Seiko is nowhere near.

Also, history of the brand and the design, if you care about that sort of thing.

>>14697681
Not that young a lad (I'm 32, but look 23).
Nothing to my face, but more like gawking and acknowledging I'm wearing a Cartier watch with their friends in a condescending *ugh kinda way lol. Another time a dad was talking about my watch and how I wore it with jeans or some shit to his son and he called me a "dumbass" lol. Son was some jack skellington figured freshman at NYU or parsons wearing Rick dunks with long hair and dad had some CdG meme cons on.
I mean the watch is like $2.5K, sure expensive but not outrageous. I guess the brand image makes people think it's more expensive than it actually is...but I dunno man

I actually had the same issues when I wore my speedmaster.

Probably gonna get worse when I buy a Rolex next :(

Maybe I should get some watch normies won't recognize like a Nomos or Blanc Pain.

>>14697758
how about a Junghans Max Bill?
classic bauhaus design, looks great

>>14697613
unreal

>>14697469
>this much fucking trash

>>14697706
Seiko Presage

>>14697706
maybe a vintage omega. He will recognize it from his yesteryears and will think its worth a lot more than it is. It could remind him of his dad's watch as well

>>14697706
something vintage that was made in the year he was born

>>14697675

>>14697613

OR maybe you should give no fucks and continue to buy watches YOU enjoy. But hey.

>>14697995
Post your collection then

What's the best tool watch?

>>14698426
Damasko da36, Sinn 856
Seiko monster
Any shutter under 100 that you don't mind scratching against every possible surface

>>14697859
If you are in NYC nobody gives a shit, pal. I see young guys wearing luxury watches many times a day. Stop being so insecure, you’re imagining things.

>>14698436
Oof, anything that looks better? I like the Speedmaster look, but it's a shitty tool watch since it has very bad water resistance.

>>14698456
Whatvdo you mean "speedmaster look" do you want a chronograph?

>>14698602
Black relatively simple dial, tachymeter bezel, chrono, that sort of thing.

>>14698620
>tachy bezel
Go suck on a dozen swollen cocks for wanting an useless feature because of "muh". Either that or get a casio 526l-1avuef, which has all of those, you nonce.

>>14696970
lol. The Catholic jokes tend to be kind of played out but this made me chuckle

>>14698426
Tudor Pelagos

>>14698651
It just looks nice.
>casio 526l-1avuef
>tachy bezel
? ? ?

>>14697422
A tangente would be nice but i much prefer the lugs on the orion, just a bit more dressy though both are excellent.

I own a small buisness where i provide computer services and education to staff in schools, i live in a small town where most of the main primary schools are run by 50+ year olds who have no clue how to turn on a computer let alone work them, so once i left school i started off volunteering to help but i got some guidence when i was 18 and started providing my services to 5 schools out the gate. Because of my age i was charging pennies compared to more professional services outside of my town and the demand was high. Once id finish training staff on computers i would offer to provide computer solutions and the rest is history. Left me in a pretty good position financially so i bought my dream watch at the time (my BB). Though am thinking of jumping ship and changing my career, demand has went down, i suppose you can only train people for so long.

Ive always loved my BB souly for the reason of it isnt a Rolex, I'm not a fan of flashy brands, i can always appricate fine watch making and their quality, but im not a fan of the sterotypes and things theyre sometimes associated with.

hi watch lads
I'll be working at a resort/natural reserve as a guide soon
I wanted a watch that looks nice but can take some punishment. is a cheapish diver like the orient ray my best option? do I even bother to get an automatic at all? I like the low maintenance aspect of having no batteries
t. clueless about watches and just went through the OP links
thanks in advance

>>14698814
Sounds like you want an actual tool watch for the 21st century just buy a Gshock or something like Garmin for more advanced features. Garmin is not /fa/ but whatever, it works well. Citizen Eco-Drive is also an option for analog.

If you do want an automatic "proper" watch, it really depends on your price range. Orient or Seiko divers are fine, so is Rolex Explorer II.

>>14697566
blue fits it better

>>14698829
I'd like to keep it /fa/ if possible but it might be a case of putting function over form. it's just that it's a pretty high end place despite the "wild" environment and want to look nice in my off time. if there is a passable, toned down g-shock then I'll consider it 100% but all I know about the brand is my memories from high school and those ghastly hueg bright orange mammoths with ten different buttons
>Rolex Explorer II
yeah my budget is more citizen and seiko for sure lol

>>14698449
lol that's kinda my point, pal.

I'm not insecure nor am I imagining things; these things actually happened.

>>14698892
I'm not sure about /fa/ but plenty of watch people like G-shocks as tool watches. But most watch people then have something else to put on as well.

Seiko, Orient and Citizen are all good brands with plenty of /fa/ approved models. Post what you like if you're unsure, if people tell you it's a shitter and then you know you can get it.

>>14698856
I really wanted this watch until I tried it on, very underwhelming in person. Sad.

>>14697677
Is the the first omega in space? Wait sorry is this the first omega to discover fire and the wheel?

>>14698932
thanks for the input friend
would love to post something but as I said I am completely clueless on this subject
guess it's time to start researching a bit and come back when I know more

>>14698934
>very underwhelming in person
most watches are

>>14698892
You might be able to get a Tissot model for a decent price. The Seastar Powermatic 80 is there if you like divers, but you could also look at their Heritage Visodate pieces. They come on decently fine leather bands, but you could switch it for a crummy cheap NATO while you're out and about so you don't ding that up (or get a F-91W or DW-5600 for work).

>>14698960
lol what? no

>>14696131
Looks to me like one of those vintage seiko silver wave solar digitals

>>14698814
Get a turtle, it's the basic automatic tool watch. Broke crystal? Plenty of original replacements of eBay. Movement busted? Just buy a new one for 40 bucks and swap them.

I recently got my new Ploprof! Boy, is this a watch I've been stoked about for some time now. Just screams of "overbuilt", and looks as good as I suppose such a huge watch can.
Pretty stoked to take it out diving once the weather calms down, even if only as a backup to my diving computer, which is about the only thing I have that wears larger than this, but then again I only really wear that on my drysuit.

>brought a fucked up cheap polerouter from south america
HERE WE FUCKING GO

>>14699038
Good choice anon.

>>14698814
For me, it's the Citizen BASEDmaster.

Is /wt/ aware?

>>14699131
of what?

>>14699134
>t. unaware

>>14699111
well thats "Three breaths to death" if I ever saw it.

>>14699143
>Three breaths to death
what do you mean?

>>14699147
Small tanks are generally not very well regarded in scuba diving because at even small depths they will give you VERY limited air-supply, and thus the homage "three breaths till death" came about, mainly in regards to a brand called Spare Air I think.
and also lmaoing at you with a citizen diver not knowing anything about diving.

>>14699154
bro it's a prop, it's the box the watch came in you fucking dumbass

>>14699154
Well good thing it's not a real air tank but the case for the watch then.

>>14699155
>>14699159
I bet you guys have never even touched a scuba tank you fucking watchlets

>>14699163
I have have the padi open water certificate lmao, dived in Florida and Italy :)))

Should i get the orient ray 2 in a blue or black dial?

>>14699168
What's the difference?

>>14699171
One has a black dial and the other has a blue dial, duh.

>>14699175
Thanks for clarifying. Do you need someone to hold your hand to cross the road too?

Have this in auto. Love it. Super thin and light as well.

>>14699439
the turtle is so fucking ugly
doxas are the only cushion case that dont look like ass

>>14698620
Why would you need any of those on a tool watch ?

>>14698814
What this guy said
>>14698829

Batteries are changed once every few years so not exactly a big bother so you can get any quartz you like.
An automatic will lose or gain a few seconds a day and end up being rather wrong after a week or so.
Depending on your activity it might not be properly wound when you desk dive.
On overall not really practical compared to electronic watches that can also deliver a whole bunch of other functions at a fraction of the cost (alarms, GPS etc)
If you just want to larp as an adventurer a Seiko turtle PADI is a good choice

>>14699037
unironically jelly. It would be my grail if it weren't for the cucked movement.

>>14699037
I was going to comment on the disproportionate size compared to your wrist but if you wear it on a wetsuit it must be perfect
Congrats on actually using a diver watch diving and on the great acquisition!

Why are these threads so dead now?

Stole this Casio watch from Walmart someone stop me.

Wtf with all the dust ?
Why didn't you steal something valuable?

To be fair there is something about the red dial being an homage to older 1940's model
The strap has no excuse though

They make much worse fashion shitter I find you hard on the reverso

Yea I do, I was playing with the idea of getting one a while back before the discontinued it, price just put me off after that. I was more thinking of something without a bezel, even a 36mm new 2019 datejust.
