I have no idea why watchfags get salty, but I have pic related since it got out, any I'm happy with it. I have a friend that spends insane money on watch collecting and he gets seriously offended that I call my series 4 a good watch. Like faggot, with the money you spent on fucking watches, you couls have bought a nice apartment lmao.

R8

>>14718472
That's the point, and he can still buy that apartment (or even more than it was worth when buying), because many high-end watches (Rolex GMT Master, Submariner etc) appreciate in value unlike tech gadgets

>>14718666
>many high-end watches appreciate in value
if my "many" you mean "a couple" and by " appreciate in value" you mean "are ruined as consumer products by price speculation"

Thoughts on the vostok watches?

Have one, in my opinion they're more like political statement.
I wear mine only for meetings to passively express my disobedience to capitalist pigs.

recommend a seller? I hear there are lots of fakes (or good ones/bad ones?)

looking for a sub-$150 rugged self-winding analog watch with a nice solid heft to it, really like the feel of the seiko turtles and the round case design of the sna411 (though I find the dial face a bit too busy). suggestions?

>>14723660
Yeah, they definitely source JDM and russian stuff that takes 2 months to get to the west, easy stuff to get for way under msrp and resell. C'mon man, use your noggin here, I wish watch gang would give away these crystals

>>14721281
You dont luxury like that unless they are cutting out the middle man and disrupting the industry.

1k watch at a 1/10 of the price

What is your platonic ideal if a watch, and why is it a nodate sub?

Sinn 156 Military with an actual display case back, and not UFO-thick.

How does one get a grand Seiko?

I always get told they depreciate like crazy yet on eBay and chrono 24 they aren't cheap and they are all a couple of years old and would likely need a service.

>>14722491
Go for turtle. Seiko's best cheap diver atm

Only reason I sold mine is it was slightly too big for me

>>14722491
Maybe look at second hand orient divers. Something like the Kamasu or Mako USA come to mind

>>14723744
> told they depreciate like crazy
they do

> yet on eBay and chrono 24 they aren't cheap
losing 30-40% on 9-10k watch is still 6k.

> they are all a couple of years old and would likely need a service.
the sellers hope any buyer is an idiot and doesn't think about this.

Muh terrorist watch.

>>14723904
Unless places like seiya Japan are really well priced im not seeing too many gs being 30-40% off their prices. There isn't much in the prices and a service would make them the same price as new.

Has anyone gone from a watch with an anti reflective coating to one that doesn't have one?

Most of the entry watches in the tag Heuer tier of pricing don't have it (yet my cheap Seiko does)

>>14718472
I'm also into the apple watch. I think it looks good on some people but it has to match the persons over all aesthetic and personality? I havent really been able to pin point it honestly. like i said for some reason it works well on some people while it looks very dorky on others. anyways i think its super cyberpunk to be able to have all that info on your wrist.

>>14723957
sleaze

>>14723904
What's the cost of servicing a GS, anyway? From what I can see, servicing a Roly is anywhere from 400-700. Not that much if you already have one, but certainly something to get mad about as a hidden cost if buying one used. Are GS watches more expensive to service?

Kop?

>>14724066
It's not more expensive but if they need something more than a basic oil and service they have to be sent back to Japan which takes time, weeks if not months, and more money.

damaskos look like shit. it looks like a fucking clock on your wrist to normies, might as well buy a fucking timex weekender.

The only good watch that sinn makes is the 903. I agree there.
Oris is a good buy though.
>actual AR coating on crystal
>better than swatch trash
>only brand that makes better bracelets is rolex
>use upgraded selitas that will handwind without grinding into dust

I don't know if I'd get one new, but a used aquis is a great alternative to swatch garbage if you need an expensive watch. Otherwise an orient ray with a sapphire crystal modded on is much more soulful.
>>14721011
Out of the quartz diver options the best is the duro. it's big but wears it's size well, citizen and the rest are just modern mallshit designs while the duro looks like a proper watch. Helps that you can actually fucking service/swap batteries yourself too.
I love mine, it's just kinda boring. It's also not a jeweled movement so the timekeeping changes when you take it off and the metal parts change fitment with the plastic gears. If it's your first or only watch see my comment about the ray ii. $200 gets you a great movement, strapcode bracelet that mogs low end swatchchinkshit and a nice AR coated sapphire crystal + cheap press to punch it in with.

fuck. I'm still gonna buy the ray 2 on rubber cause I like the movement but who the fuck is designing their watches??

Should I buy it?

>>14724845
If you like it, sure.

But not at that price...

>>14724845
If you're a young guy just starting out in the world, it's a great watch. Like if you're the president of your highschool debate team, bitches will love it.

Quartz is objectively better

>>14724878
How come there aren't any quartz watches with sweeping hands?

>>14724878
Better apart from the fact you look like a girl wearing one.

>>14724915
> Seiko Spring Drive - but not a true quartz
> Bulova UHF
That's all I can think of.

>>14724915
Beta 21, the first swiss quartz movement had a smooth sweep seconds. So did the omega electroquartz, and the seiko 5s21 (pic related).

>>14724919
The bulova ticks at 16Hz last I checked. So it looks pretty smooth but it's much more coarse than the old tuning forks, beta 21, 5s21, and especially the spring drive. The spring drive is really the only movement that has a "true" smooth seconds sweep and not just a number of steps per second that looks smooth.
That said the way the 5s21 does it is the stepper motor moves at 4Hz and there's a spring/fluid dampener that smooths out the movement of the seconds hand. You can see the individual steps on the gear to the bottom right and the much smoother turning gear nearer the middle here.

>>14724845
Tag Heuer is really really overpriced for what you are getting, but if you are happy with having an average watch despite the price then go for it/

i thought about getting this one for my gf, she wears gold jewelery only, what do you think about it ?

If you're in it for the interest of watches, then I personally wouldn't, considering the Monaco is most famous for its chronograph models, and the whole Steve McQueen deal. If you just want a fancy dressy kind of watch, then it's really just up to what you like.

>>14723998

current state of the watch collection

>>14724774
> >spring the money for solid links but leave the end links hollow so the rattle is still there
I hate that they don't even give you an option to buy a better strap. I have the ray 2 and the cheapest all solid link oyster bracelet is 120 bucks. I mean the whole watch was 150 new.

>>14726402
why do you only collect shitter watches?

>>14726402
Why is there a Rolex amongst all the other trash? Get rid of everything except that.

>>14726285
get her a qt wamens amphibia or a komandirskie. it's manual wind so maybe she'll get some taste too.

>>14726401
why does casio discontinue their best models

Current collection.

>>14724845
Although it's more expensive, I'd get the Chronograph version with a more interesting dial color instead.

>>14723998
Wristlet gang representing.
Don't worry about it, there are enough top pieces in the 37-39mm range that look great on us.
Besides that the hype for oversized watches makes the ones in our range more affordable.

>>14718472
It's a good tool/workout watch but I don't like mixing it into outfits.
Especially in business settings it reminds me of people that wear sneakers with a suit.

>>14718457
cool

>>14726288
I like the older/simpler references better.
I agree with the other anon, the stones look out of place on a digital watch.

>>14726509

don't feed the trolls. how long did it take you to get that collection, any specific motivation for the specific watches?

>>14726599
Even by the usal /wt/ troll or larp standards you are really pathetic.

>>14726610
>how long did it take you to get that collection
I have been actively collecting for around 10 years now.

>any specific motivation for the specific watches?
Generally I like watches with a classic design and smaller circumference below 40mm with rose gold being my favorite material and chronographs being my favorite complication.
I tried a lot of sports watches like the royal oak, nautilus and daytona but can't get myself excited about any of them so I'll stick with leather straps.

>The quartz disney watch
First one I ever wore as a child and it got me hooked on watches.

>Chronoswiss Kairos skeletonized
I liked it because I always wanted a skeletonized Chronograph and a watch with the Valjoux 23 movement seemed perfect for it.

>Split second Chronograph
I liked the idea that they managed to turn the ETA 7750 into a split second chronograph at an affordable price and think that the dial layout is interesting.

>Chronoswiss Klassik
Until I can get my hands on a Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 these two will be my daily wears.
ETA 7750 with an amazing finishing and a subdial for the date instead of the typical (ugly in my opinion) date window you'd expect on that movement.

>Chronoswiss Lunar
Only large size watch I own at 42mm and the most "showy".
I liked the classic breguet inspired design and still needed a moon phase in my collection.

>Rolex Oysterdate
Good deal I found and couldn't pass on. Felt it complemented my air king I already owned well.

>Rolex Air-King
Nice simple entry level Rolex and one of my favorite models the company ever made.
I wish they still made these and didn't fully replace them with the explorer at that level.

>Omega (pic related)
Loved the patina on the dial

>Lange
The 39mm Datograph is my grail watch, and until I get my hands on that my watchmaker offered me a recased vintage Lange at a good price.

>>14726748
>Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955

What are the two watches on the third row on the left?

>>14718472
>>14723987
Do you guys get a lot of hate?
There's always snobs. Especially in the rich/luxury circles.
Most people I know don't mind. Also Apple watch is a good watch that has high utility. However I don't see it the same way I would a luxury watch?

IMO they are different things. Lux watch for special occasions. Fashion watch for fashion. Apple watch for utility. Although AW also does FW pretty well too. Mid-range brands the ones getting killed. Ultra lux seem unphased, probably because the prices/roles are so different and AW probably dead within 5-10 years at best when iphones are trash within 2-4 years.

>>14721289
Perfect watch except
>bidirectional bezel
>shit lume

If these could be fixed, I'd buy a bunch.

>>14723834
Fucking love the turtle. Looks way better in person somehow.

>>14723535
gonna go for that digital casio with that turquoise EL branding or the silver world time one above it soon. I like the nato strap on that open heart Orient btw. looks neato.

>>14724915
I'm sure they exist.
however I do have a nice clock on my wall with a sweeping seconds hand and obviously it's quartz. best investment ever because it's totally silent. the worst thing you can buy for your home is a clock that ticks loudly and drives you mad.

r8 the collection lads, get enjoyment out of all of them :)

>>14713976

>>14729176
I sorta wanted that Wenger but then I decided it's not worth it simply because it's too expensive.
But it's a cool watch either way.

Okay so now that the dust has settled...how sleazy is it? This has got to be the digital version of a terrible fake Rolex. Convince me not to get one.
