For me, it’s the Rolex CHAD Master 2

Got in a stupid accident 2 months ago while wearing my watch but fortunately it survived except for the bezel got chewed up pretty bad. I took it to multiple watchmakers who said they arent able to replace the bezel. Should I just have a jeweler buff the scratches out or something?

>>14732135
Just leave it. Looks rugged and adds character. It’s a cheap dive watch after all, it’s supposed to get scratched up like that.

Just a reminder that if you are under 30 and/or not well of a big expensive watch will look out of place. This bad boy for like 25 bucks will fit you better than something well made and complicated that costs 40 times more.
Spending hundreds on watches when the rest of your outfit is not cutting it is dumb and very noticeable.

The irony is my $200 Punjabi special Rado diastar attracts more attention than my 3k Rolex date

Let me just flex my $30 Armitron

I cant find a single watch I actually like. Just want robust tool watch. Something in the same spirit as a sub or explorer at 500-1000.

Everything I look into I end up putting myself off. I was looking at a 556i however the constant sinn memeing here has put me off.

I just want to just something with a its own identity that isnt a homeage.

I have a tisell marine dive which i love in some aspects just feel disappointed when inremember its just pretending to be simething else.

Maybe I just overly research everything untill im just sick to death of it.

Why am i such an autist

>>14732777
Nice looks like it came right out of a happy meal or a cereal box.

>>14732327
I love it, great taste, I've looked at buying one a few times but never found the right one at the right price.

https://www.strapcode.com/collections/submariner-1680/products/metal-ss-bcl20-b080

Pretty nice bracelet if you own an older sub. Fits really nicely on my tudor sub (ref 76100) and feels much more substantial than 80/90s rolex bracelets since it has solid links and endlinks.

How's the metal g shock? Doesn't being heavy go against the point of g shock?

>>14732991
I had 2 squares before this and yea your sort of right, it does but some days I miss my old gshock. The steel is a better watch, I do wish the head was lighter. I stick with it becasue I'm from the UK and you can switch the month and day around and the buttons are larger. I'll waiting for them to put the module for the steel in a resin.

I'm tempted to brush the case?

>>14732784
Buy a Casio MDV106 and shut the fuck up with your meme spacing. Or a quartz Inox. Or a Ball Engineer. Or a DS30.

>>14733042
Ball is an excrement brand and the Ball Engineer is an excrement piece.

>>14733015
The one I posted is same module as yours, resin case with combi bracelet. It's pretty good, got it 2 days ago. Bluetooth connection is pretty handy, I thought it would be more gimmicky but it's actually useful while not having to have it connected all the time unless you want the find phone feature.

>>14733089
That's the one I would have picked aswell but I don't like negative displays, that said they are alot better now.

My current collection.

Omega Seamaster from.1968
Omega Speedmaster Professional
The Citizen Chronomaster NA0000-59A

I love the Citizen most, it's the only automatic The Citizen model and one of the only ones in Europe. Rivals Grand Seiko in every way.

>>14733639
Nice citizen. Wish it wasn't as unobtanium as it is.

>>14733643
There is a used one for sale in yahoo japan: https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=j599489296 (black dialed version)

It's got a couple of scratches, but otherwise it's in very good condition. Some 1600€ after all the shipping, taxes etc.

>>14733651
That's a pretty good price actually. I do like the white dial better though.

>>14733653

I know, I paid 200€ more for mine. I, too, like the white/champagne dial more - the black The Citizens often have problems with legibility. I have owned a Citizen CTY57-1272, which was the first The Citizen automatic with a slightly different case shape and domed crystal. It was a spectacular watch, but hard to read in many light conditions.

>>14733615
model?

>>14733661
You the anon who had all those other high end citizens btw? D'you plan on getting a model with the 0100 movement at some point?

>>14733676

Yes I am, I have owned these models:
Ctq57-0952
Ctq57-0954
Ctq57-1201
Cty57-1272
NA0000-59B
AQ1000-58A

I do plan on getting a 0100 at some point, but right now the designs don't really sing to me. Now something like the AQ4020-54Y with the 0100 caliber would really be something!

>>14732078
By the heavens, stop with your twitterspeak you mongrel

>>14733682

>>14733685

Yes, that's an amazing dial. I also really like this AQ4040 remake of the vintage chronomaster.

Have you ever owned a The Citizen?

>>14733309
You don't need to open the case so it shouldn't make any difference to the WR.

>>14733710

it's like discussing fake diesel jeans from your vacation in Turkey

>>14733437
Based.

>>14733710
Nah, I've had my eyes on the NA0000-59B but I do also want a snowflake partially for that textured dial. I just wish they'd make a titanium one that's 39mm & not some white gold limited edition.

>>14733724

Grand Seikos have been getting kind of big over the years, all the interesting new releases are 40-42mm. It would be very nice if they did more in the 37-39mm range (especially if the cases were slightly less bulbous). A 37mm snowflake would be a dream come true.

That's what I like about these earlier The Citizens, they are all quite nicely sized and balanced.

>>14733729
>all the interesting new releases are 40-42mm
Yea it's a shame really. They're certainly capable of making them smaller but I guess that's the size their buyers want.
The citizen is better sized at 37mm, and the autistic attention to detail is at least comparable, if not on par with, GS watches. Once the chance arises I'll probably get a white dial 59B to be honest .

Are people's tastes really that malleable by propaganda?

>>14736199
>propaganda

fuck off

>>14735477
For your consideration. The submarine steel is darker, and allows the watch to be thinner, but I heard it scratches more easily. I personally dont even get scratches on SS watches, but if thats your thing, hey. The aero steel watch is also heavier, dont know if you like "wrist presence" or lightness in a watch. I wouldnt bother with the meme bracelet. The DS30 is on backorder, the DA36 is available right now.

>>14736199
not really, it's more likely that people do have a certain idea of what a watch is supposed to like and the more they get familiar with the topic the more they're able to free their mind from the publicly instilled image

Not sure about this one lads. What does /wt/ thread? Its the A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus.

Where do people actually find cheap used watches? Im tossing up between a GS spring drive or an Aqua Terra

ebay and chrono24 dont seem to be that much cheaper than just buying it new. Considering most of these watches that are 5-10 years old probably need a service which pretty much cancels out the savings and risk of buying off these sites.

what matters is the quality and the test of time - the oddy looks as if it could have been released 20 years ago or yesterday (and that's a good thing)

Do you know the beat error of your watch?

>>14736489
Ì agree its ghastly. The bracelet looks like shit and the watch would look nice on a strap because it doesn't look sporty. If they wanted to make a sporty watch they would have been better off doing a zweitwerk type face and either a rubber strap or a not piece of ahit bracelet

>>14736400
That bracelet kinda looks like a knock off of the patek neptune, very 90's.
They did a half job, kinda looks like a dress watch and a royal oak/nautilus competitor with those portal ears. Is not going to affect pp/ap market at all.
Personally, I think that they should make a ss chronograph instead. They have the double and triple split, making a sport diver makes total sense.

>>14736942
*sport chrono, not diver.

>>14736615
This, zweitwerk and datograph have sporty dials in dressy cases. They can easily transform those watches into sport watches. But they wont do it because no one is going to buy the gold/platinum versions if they do that.

If you don't mind quartz, you have these guys: http://svalbard.watch/pages/Svalbard_24-hour_watches.html
Around the Arctic Circle it ain't too bad. People wear the same shitters here as everywhere else, and you get used to, or dress for the cold weather.
If you're thinking about the sun fucking off for a few months, that really isn't a problem unless you'll spend your time up there being fantastically drunk, to the point of not knowing if it's noon or midnight, and being too incapacitated to look through a window to look for the little glint of sun. Which I suppose isn't too unlikely if you're going to Greenland

>>14736400
They had one fucking job.
They could have pulled pic related with a slightly different strap.
Same design they are known for, same proportions, same finishing, everyone would have been happy.
They had the "we have our niche and we don't give a fuck what other people do because we are the best at our game" thing going for them and now they look like one of those other shit tier companies that try to emulate sport watches only to be completely crushed.

The reason they gave is even worse.
>For years collectors have asked us to create a water resistant sports watch
So fuck them let them buy a sub, RO, nautilus or Overseas.

Why enter a market that damages their image, catering to fuckboys and deviating from timeless classic designs, and that they have no chance of winning over because those people will simply continue wearing Nautilus and RO?

>>14738673
I feel like you missed out the operative part of that sentence "in the spirit of". I pretty much want a no nonsense steel sports watch. Notba homage. Not overly agressive in its styling

>>14737095
there are gshock variants specifically created for ski snowboarders which have no problems going -40c or some shit

So in the mid range we have Sinn, Tag, Oris, Damasko etc..etc..

Which is the best? I feel like Tag would get noticed the most and probably get a few remarks but a used Oris just seems like a great deal to me. Seems like great bang for buck which you dont seem to get in that price range. Sinn and Damasko im not sure if its just indian marketers on here or not. I never see them out in the wild and I dont think ive come across anyone that knows of either.

>>14738729

there is a conspirancy theory about how the upper 1% is actually trying watches on in order to make a buying decision

I know this sounds like bullshit, on the other hand...

>>14738729
TAG is literally the only one anyone will even remotely know.

Anyone know if its reasonable to change the crystal myself?

>>14738772
Havevyou tried polishing it? None of those scratches look particularly deep

>>14738729
556 is probably the only sinn I'd buy, not too expensive and looks nice imo. Some other models are nice like the ezm but they have these fancy functions like argon gas or whatever that sound cool, but you have to send your eta shitter to to Germany (not sure if they have authorised service elsewhere) + it adds extra cost to the service.

I don't post here anymore because I hate you faggots.

But have a century old 14k single-pusher Doxa chronograph in serviceable condition.

>>14738952
After that this ETA 2892 Longines with a custom dial-side, with a sub-seconds and big date complication seems rather pedestrian.

>>14738955
Fuck, forgot pic. Anyway looks like servicechimps didn't properly tighten the dial screw and it fell into the geatrain jamming it.

This Ukrainian guy in my area apparently has a whole stock of vintage Vostok Amphibias going from $60-80 in my local currency, went into his store, says he has contacts who have warehouses full of them back in Ukraine where he orders them. I'm really overwhelmed with all the choices, any particular variants I should be looking out for? They're all a bit scratched up like pic related (his hand), part of me feels I should walk but another part of me feels he might have something worthwhile.

>>14739417
Vostoks are complete junk. They feel so shitty, I bought a couple when I first started collecting, worst watches I ever had, cheap Seiko 5s feel a million times better.

the virgin Rolex:
-Expensive
-Gold options are even more expensive
-rattling bracelet
-automatic movement that you have to service every now and then

the r*ddit Apple Watch:
-500$ and upwards and it will be completely outdated in like 5 years
-Display so you can tweet about toxic masculinity 24/7
-Can install games for your wifes' son to play
-Can take a sim card so you can watch Rick and Morty in the cuckshed

THe CHADaniel Wellington:
-AFFORDABLE LUXURY, can be purchased for only 150$
-Golden variants cost as much as the silver ones
-GENUINE ITALIAN LEATHER STRAP
-Quartz movement that is more accurate than any Rolex, only needs a battery change every 5 years

>>14739433
I beg to differ. I scored a kommandirski for 12 euros and it's one of the sturdiest watches I own. I only put it down because it was a bit too heavy for my tastes.

Opinions on this? Is it too much of a wrist-fedora?

>>14738792
I like 856 UTC, but you are right about the meme dehumidifier function. If your watch is getting fogged up, its made of shit.

Ive gone thru rolex,omega, grand seiko and the higher end divers from seiko yet I always come back to this watch. Im thinking about just buying a spring drive gmt and an accutron astronaut and calling it a day

>>14740467
If you do get an accutron, just don't send it in to bob's watches to get it serviced. The man is a fucking hack. Pic related is what he did to my kreisler bracelet years ago.

>bent the fuck out of the links

>>14740516
Sorry, mybob.net, not bob's watches. It's been a while since I mentioned him. Also the accutron itself gained 6 seconds per minute.

Thankfully I got his fuckups fixed by a real watchmaker.

>>14740467
That shit looks fucking amazing, but it's really huge isn't it?

>>14736400
This looks like something a used car salesman would wear in the 90’s.

>>14740467
I feel like i could pop the crystal off this bad boy and pour myself a bowl of cereal in the watch. Pretty based imo

dude i heard fuck that guy. i want the 18k one so bad i have the money but idk if Im ready to commit.
>>14740552
yea its 47mm i think but considering I use to daily the auto tunas its not bad quite lighter than I thought. Plus I cant wear nice watches at work they wont last

hi fellas can someone give me a cop or not for pobeda buran white bear watch? I enjoy old russian watches but not sure if its cringy or not - hence haven't posted a pic. fill me in pl0x :)

>>14740529
mind posting ur astronauts? I really want the 18k gold one but finding the matching band is impossible

>>14740633
I just have a spaceview, along with a watch max hetzel's other tuning fork movement.

>>14740639

>>14740639
really love these. I saw an 18k gold one once at a swapmeet but the guy wanted 5k for just the head and idk of these were ever made in 18k

>>14740648
Well oldfathertime has at least one solid 18k gold accutron listed (that's been sold now). So I guess they're out there. $5k is a bit much imo though, considering I spent $280 on my accutron (not counting the bracelets).

>>14740651
Ive had astronauts befoee bur i always bought them at estates and were always shot to shit. I had a good size collection of the bracelets tho. The Bullet one is God Tier

>>14740656
Too bad really, it's hard to find an astronaut in minty condition in my experience. The bullet bracelet is pretty nice too. I've just always had a soft spot for the coffin link kreislers (enough to have two of them). Really wish there was a modern, solid link version of them.

Guys, what's the deal with Rolex? Is the demand for new watches so high that you're looking at waiting a not insignificant amount of time to get one if you buy one (and if so, does anyone have a rough idea of how long?) and the used market's prices ranging from obscene to perverse coming as a result of people with more money than time paying any price for that instant gratification?
...or am I missing something, and it's an entirely different thing?
I was looking at my nearest (just over 450 km lol) Rolex AD's website, and the prices didn't seem that bad for something as, let's say hyped-up, as a Rolex. For sure, you could get three Tudors or sixteen Seiko 5s for the price, but that's another story.

>>14740672
Demand is particularly concentrated among a select few of the steel sports models. Panda Daytona, Pepsi / Batman GMTs are the most wanted. Steel Subs and Sky-Dwellers are also very popular

Waiting lists really depend on your client standing, geography and dealer, but my local AD (large dealer in a major US city) typically has a 2-5 year wait for most of those models for a newer client, and I've seen more than a few cases where they've flat out refused to even put someone on the list unless theyre a known quantity

>>14740690
Well shit, I was looking at just a steel Sub. I might just have to give the guy a call and hear with him.
>customer standing
Aw shit, I could have had a whole lot more of that if I hadn't bought my other watches from the closer store.
Suppose I'll call the AD in the capital too, hear if the waiting time is any better at one dealer than the other.

>>14740721
Definitely doesn't hurt to check around, could always get lucky with a more favorable supply / demand in different cities.

Personally I've bought everything through the same sales rep at my AD to build the relationship and get better access, its worked out so far

>>14740729
Yeah, I also wanted to build a good relationship with the local AD and support a local business, but since he doesn't sell Rolexes, I bet just have to see about that somewhere else.

What are some smaller size divers for a 6.25 wrist?

preferably quartz, ideally solar too

why are a lot of Seiko and Citizen watches so large. I thought nips were more smaller framed?

>>14740664
its alot easier to find those than the bullet bands (complete) no way am I gonna drop more than 500 for a band unless its the 18k one lol

>>14740835
Even the $300ish that the kreislers were going for when I was looking was too much imo, $500 is nuts. Luckily I was able to get both kreislers for <$300 total.

>>14740844
yea I think they are finally going up in price. but sometimes just searching the brand of the bracelet can get you deals on ebay. hell a couple years ago u could get nos parts for astronauts for next to nothing

>>14740905
Maybe, honestly right now I'm doing scale instead of watches.

Also I don't understand why single-pusher chronographs are such a big fucking luxury deal right now. They're even a few parts simpler than standard double-pusher ones.

>>14740926
>single-pusher chronographs are such a big fucking luxury deal right now
never seen one

Holy shit, customer is ready to sue US, the jewelry store, because the service-center chimps still aren't done with his watch. I'm not going to take responsibility for the shit of some other clown, so if upper-management points the finger at me for not constantly holding the service center's hand and phoning them, while I have twenty battery changes a day, and fifty serious repairs a month, then I'll threaten to walk.

I already have enough shit on my plate taking responsibility for myself, I don't feel like taking it for the shit of others.

>>14740975
What manner of assclowns are working at the service center, then? How long have they taken to fix the watch? Is there a chance of you making them push the thing forwards? Can you give the service center's number to the customer, or have the center call him?
And, uuh, which watch are we talking about here? Is the guy a regular customer, and/or a big buyer? Clearly you should be able to give him some preferential treatment if he's dropping in with a Patek or something, or if he's a regular shopper. Some bum who dropped by with a Vostok or similar won't do shit about his stuff being delayed.

>>14740982
Service center drones are all fucking clowns. If they weren't they'd be independents. I've had to clean up a few times after them, last time it was an automatic Fortis, now I have a Longines that may have had a screw not properly tightened by the service chimps (not the first time I see/hear of this, there's a conspiracy theory that they do this on purpose). The watch is a Maserati, a somewhat well built fashion-shitter brand that doesn't go above ETA 2824 levels. It was left with us at August 3. because of water ingress, I told the guy this usually takes a month. So nearly three months ago.

I tried calling the service center after the first month, but their phones were dead. Turns out it was their shop that had water ingress! But anyway last I checked with them was about the beginning of October, and from what I can piece together, they need a new dial and only just started working on it! They don't call neither us nor the owner about anything, but that's kinda the usual, service centers don't communicate shit. Either way just yesterday I had another issue, this time by the Casio service center, so I don't trust any of them anymore.

Also the customer is kinda difficult to. Doesn't answer my calls, doesn't bother to call back, I told him to call the service center, or go in in person, didn't do any of these, and after all this is still adamant on pinning the blame on us, the store. And if the blame gets pinned on the company, I can guarantee it management pins the blame on me, which I fucking won't have.

Alright, update: Spoke with an inside man at the service center. He says a dial replacement takes time, since Maserati in Italy won't just send one dial, they'll send a whole bunch of parts when there's enough parts requests. Fine, that's plausible. Some other brands take half to a whole year to send an ordered part over to a service center.

Owner is still being an ass though. Babyboy wants me to hold his hand and wipe his ass while he complains how he can't reach anyone or get shit done it MUH 21ST CENTURY. Maybe put in a genuine effort instead of pestering me, you fucking boomer.
