Where to cop good quality replicas?

>>14992681
i love green on watches, that rolex looks dope but the band looks like complete shit

>>14992694
Ask on the Horology House forums.

Okay, here is the collection I’m making. All sub $1000 but IWE all start somewhere:
Orient Kamasu Black
Tisell Bauhaus
Vostok Komandirskie Hexagon
G-Shock GW-M5610
Dan Henry 1964 Panda
Baltic Aquscaphe Blue
I think it’s a good balance of form and function and I’ll upgrade it over the years (Kamasu to seamaster, etc)

>>14992694
Replicas are horseshit. Get a well-regarded homage instead.
>>14992708
>not Komandirskie Classic
I don't even

>>14992702
It's an aftermarket non-Rolex band.

Hey, do you guys remember the early 2000s, when those trashy pseudo-retro Diesel watches were all the rage.

>>14992712
It is a komandirskie classic. I should’ve clarified

>>14992719
Drain gang style

It was a while ago, but thanks to whoever recommended the Tissot as my first watch. I'm very much in love.

These were super trendy at the time.

Got my first Rolex this week. Datejust 16014. Super happy with it

>>14992749
it looks great, how much did you pay for it?

>>14992738
I have recomended it quite a bit here. Here is mine.

Very nice everyday/office watch.

>>14992708
I really like the Kamasu and Baltic but I think they'd be pretty redundant for mine. I already have an Orient Mako 2 with an aftermarket sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel and a Zelos Mako V3 which would be a more or less replacement for each of those. I guess I'll just admire the Aquascaphe from afar because there's really not much reason for me to buy one on top of the 3 divers I already have.

Dan Henry panda isn't a bad choice at all but whenever you get the money you should definitely upgrade that to either a Maen Skyraider or a Hamilton Intramatic panda if you can afford the €800 for the Maen or $2k for the Hammy. Auto-Chronographs are just works of art over when compared to Quartz/Mecha-Quartz.

Where are your dress watch and your digital beater?

>>14992902
man i love green on watches, gib rolly plz

>>14992681
>Should I buy this Seiko watch?
>>depends but no
why? I see them recommended all the time

>>14992926
I have a DW6000 in a bag somewhere and no need for a dress watch currently although on I’m on the look out for a Patek ref 96 for a good price.

I dont think ive ever posted all my watches together. Dont think I'll want anything else for a while.

>>14992928
I don't understand the appeal of green. It either looks like sick or just clashes with everything.

>>14992956
It’s a meme

>>14992967
i love green on watches but that looks gross

anyone else got the AE-1200? I love this thing

>>14992966
> Why by different watches when I can just buy the same watch over and over again.
Fucking hell m8, sell half of those and get some variety.

>>14992967
Hulk isn’t too bad it, depending on the light it can look black or gray.

>>14992956
They are recommended because they are best made watches in the poorfag price bracket. That doesn't stop them being cheap shitters.

>>14992980
meh i wear jeans/tshirt/hoodie every day so sports watches make the most sense to me. plus timing bezels on divers are the most useful "complication" to me.

the only real duplicate watch is the citizen and I just bought the second because the first one i bought was in horrible condition

>>14992997
You could keep the Rolex and the Tudor and get rid of the rest as they are simply redundant. How many identically looking black and white dial sport watches do you really need?

How do you deal with your impulsiveness or lack thereof in falling for and buying a watch?
I have learned that if I don’t act on something straight away, there’s very little chance I’ll ever buy it.
Sometimes this saves me a lot of money when I talk myself out of buying some Swiss shitter I would probably have gotten tired of pretty quickly.

Now, after the previous thread, I’d like to get a Dan Henry panda. It looks like a fun watch, it’s not a lot of money to me, but in a few days I’ll have lost the urgency to order it, even though I’d probably enjoy owning it.

>>14992988
>best made watches in the poorfag price bracket
I’d have to say orient and Hamilton do everything seiko does better

>>14992871
Agree to disagree, but good for you man. If you like the appearance of the DH more then that's 1-2 grand you don't have a reason to spend. Personally I think the DH is far too silver/chromed and prefer more of the matte white/eggshell that the Maen and Hammy offer but if you like the silver more then rock it and don't worry about it.

>>14992705
Jej

>>14993013
> I have learned that if I don’t act on something straight away, there’s very little chance I’ll ever buy it.
That just means you didn't really want or need that watch.

> It looks like a fun watch, it’s not a lot of money to me, but in a few days I’ll have lost the urgency to order it, even though I’d probably enjoy owning it.
You've answered your own question. It's cheap (to you) and looks fun. So get it. The worse that happens is you get bored of it sooner than expected and you stick it on ebay.

>>14992847
Agreed

Is Frederique Constant the best Swiss entry tourist shitter brand? Thinking of getting the 24 hour meme.

Either that or a Hamilton.

>>14993011
>identically looking black and white dial

youre not entirely wrong, but i generally disagree. most of them different enough to me that I get different things from wearing them. main redundant ones to me are the skx and beat up citizen, but neither are worth enough for me to spend time selling them.

I do want to buy a gold DD at some point, but waiting for me to need it first since Idk if I would wear it regularly.

>>14992967
I didn't think they could make the Aquanaut uglier

>>14992749
Very nice, Rolex has nailed their 36mm watches compared to the beefed, oversized modern counterparts. I'm thinking of buying a steel datejust too. Either that or a 34mm Air Kang. Enjoy it anon.

>>14993027
Yeah fuck it, I’ll do it on Monday for sure (probably).

Beautiful

Just came in today what does /wt/ think of the mudmaster?
Puppets likes it

>>14992966
Keep the Rolex and pass on everything else. Maybe the citizen too if it was an eco drive model.

>>14992977
I wore it for a good 6 months. Pretty fun watch and the most complete in terms of complications as far as digitals are concerned.

>>14992966
Chowder is the only good looking watch in that entire bunch.

>>14993126
way to dirty your watch

>>14992966
sell them all and get a rolex sub. keep the alpinist tho.

>>14992977
Yes, I dig it too.

>>14993140
Are you Muslim by any chance? There's quite a lot of worse things you can do to a G-Shock than put it on top of a relatively clean looking dog. People work on cars and farms with those all day everyday and don't get pissy about the watch being dirtied so I don't see a reason to be a bitch nigga about it.

>>14993151
no, im a purebred american

>>14993103
Jesus that's a handsome watch.
Rate mine fa.
my fave is actually the gshock, with jaysandkays and some soft italian leather nato i got from a nice little joint on piccadily (2 doors down from the wolsey)
I got the other Casio cos its in the new wonder woman film basically but it looks great.
Im selling the Dan Henry. Just doesn't do anything for me, but its the large version, i was too late in to get a 36(?) mil

>>14993162
>Im selling the Dan Henry. Just doesn't do anything for me, but its the large version, i was too late in to get a 36(?) mil
...I mean don't get me wrong, for the money it's peerless. It hits the time on the nail relentlessly better than any other mechanical I own. They're awesome.

>>14993162
My favourite you have is the gshock (I’m going to buy that model when I have the cash for it and a Dan Henry 1964) but I’d keep it on the resin strap personally

>>14993162
can you donate me a watch pls?

>>14992863
If only, sinister fucks.

Redpill me on Bulovas, how shit are they?

>>14993198
they aren't
mine is actually the best at keeping time from the bunch

>>14993203
Mechanical or quartz?

>>14993126
Its name sounds like a racist slur for a guy who's having carnal relations with a negress.

I just bought a Panda Dan Henry 1964. Thanks anons for shilling this, looks good.

>>14993235
Black leather strap btw

>>14993235
sure it looks good but imo itd look better if the bezel was black. good pick regardless and its a cheap watch too. whats the movement?

>>14993243
Seiko caliber VK63

>>14993248
you will probably end up calibrating it a couple times then. also a black leather strap should look good.

>>14993129
afaik they dont make an eco-drive full lume promaster

>>14993137
i agree that its the best looking watch i own (although i disagree that the others looks bad)

>>14993141
i would instantly pay retail for a modern sub without a maxi case. until they make that i wont buy a rolex sub (not that they would sell me one anyways). no reason to sell the other watches though.

>>14993212
quartz of course
why would you want a mechanical for accuracy?

>>14993268
Was wondering how the mechanicals compare to other brands. IIRC they use the same movements as Citizen.

>>14993235
I prefer it with the three subdials and the bracelet

>>14993310
I donno, it looked like it had a mouth to me, kinda comical

>>14993030

>>14992712
>well-regarded homage
no such thing

>>14993320
IDK man, I've never heard anything bad about FC besides the people complaining that they aren't as well made as watches 5 times the price. That 24 hour just gives me a generic Jomashop vibe but if you like it, go for it. It's your wrist not mine.

>>14993384
You're smoking crack. There are homage brands that make very high quality stuff. I understand that people don't like homages (and frankly I've never owned an homage because I don't really like them either) but there's a fuck ton of high quality homage releases.

>>14993402
> but there's a fuck ton of high quality homage releases.
Name one.

>>14993409
Deep blue is basically a homage brand and makes very high quality pieces at their price point. The Maen Skyraider is more or less a Daytona homage and offers quite a lot of value for the price. Tissel is nothing but homages and are pretty consistently recommended here because of their build quality and reliability in the under $500 bracket. Phoibos started out as an homage brand and their PY007 submariner homage is still one of their best selling watches and they are some of the best divers you can get under $500 as well.

None of these brands have the same level of prestige as the watches they are making homages to, but at usually less than 1/10th of the price you're often getting very respectable pieces which is why so many love them.

>>14993235
Yikes

>>14993384
>>14993409
Any mechanically similar homage is better than a replica at the same price point, because the homage didn't incur costs from trying to look like the real thing. Except for the false trademarks and so forth.

>>14993409
Squale

>>14992966
Will you sell me your alpinist?? Please!!

>>14992738

Looked at a full metal G-Shock today, actually kinda liked it. Place was selling it for $300, was tempted

Is Casio or Timex better in terms of build quality / battery life? Not heard my about Timex in general, feel free to share your opinion on the brand.

>>14994226
>my

i have around 35 watches and i think only these three are over 500 dollars. ironically the most expensive one is around 1000.

thoughts? i have a sleek silver and stanless steel case and band Eco-Drive put aside but that might end up being too daily to be the silver dress accompaniment to these.

>>14994226
Id recomend the gshock gd350 (pic), but it is quite big. Other options are Garmins or cheaper and smaller Casios.

Considering you dont want to expend the kind of moneya mechanical one would require.

>>14994275
>recomend
why would you recomend a quite big digital watch?

>>14993173
>but I’d keep it on the resin strap personally
oh God, no. Worst thing about the G-shock is a// those straps /b no normal lugs. The leather Ive got on it looks exactcly the same as the watch in all light. I paired them up by accident more or less but they are never coming apart.

Any great moon phase dress watches that can be easily dressed down? Price around 1000€.

Anyone know of cheaper watches that have a blue textured dial similar to this?

>>14992681
I absolutely love the Seamaster 212.30.41.20.01.003 it is just such a beautiful watch. Just not sure I want to drop that kinda money on a watch since I want to be wearing it a bunch and it is likely gonna get scratched eventually.

I owned one for about 5 days. Maybe it’s because my main/daily watches are from top end brands but it felt super cheap. It looks nice on the wrist though. If you can find one for a deep discount then get it.

>>14994867
You're telling me a watch that retails for $260 doesn't feel as nice as $5000+? I don't believe it!

>>14992708
Just buy one really nice piece instead. It will be a million times better than half a dozen mid range watches and if you get something you really like, it will be the only watch you'll wanna wear anyway.

At least reconsider the dan henry. I've never owned one myself but I've seen a lot of complaints about their quality control

>>14992708
Don't do this. Save for that Seamaster. You'll get much more satisfaction with one good watch over 6 shitters any day.

How large is that Presage? I don't really like the whole snobbery around watch sizing here but that genuinely seems to be much too large for your wrist unless it's just an angle issue. The dial is pretty beautiful but it looks so strange in this photo.

My wrist isn't particularly huge either, but may I recommend something in the 38mm range for you instead?

>>14995216
It honestly looks like they forgot to color the dial.

Fuck that. People should wear watches that match their wrist size. There's no such thing as one size fits all.

>>14995289
Really, really nice. Smaller watches need to get mainstream again. Based seiko and based japs as usual.

is this watch "eff aye" and "gee" ?

What does /wt/ think of Skagen? Are they decent sub $100 watches?

Damn comfy. But the redditard that made this pic chose the worst perspective. The watch is not that big, i think it's under 40mm.

Is it okay to use thinner spring bars if my OEM bars were thicc bois?

It is. But when the holes are too big, the thinner bars will move around and if its a metal bracelet that has to line up with the case then you will have gaps.

i'm gonna buy a rolex to wear every day and be done with it. fuck watches.

>>14995888
could you mail me all your other watches then?

Are there any leather straps that would somehow fill the annoying holes that happen with longer lugs? How would I go about doing that/getting one for a specific watch? I really like the aesthetic of a pilot watch on a leather strap but the holes look bad.

>>14995888
I have a really hard time deciding on a watch to get, it seems I'd have to get like 6 to satisfy all the "slots" so to speak, but then each of the 6 has a $500-3000 version and a $10-20k version so it would be better to get just one, but which... and half of them only work with one style of clothing, and so on.

Aren't most modern watches actually less susceptible to magnetism than Milgauss?

>>14996003

Based. I wish I could do it

>>14996010
Don't forget how the anti-magnetic cage actually makes it thicker than a sub.

>>14996003
If you mean by modern Quartz, then you're sort of right but also very wrong. If by modern watch you mean smart watch, definitely not. Quartz watches are actually generally more susceptible to interference by magnetic fields than mechanical, but they have the advantage that magnetization of the movement largely dissipates on it's own and the watch will return to normal accuracy time keeping once removed from the field.
Mechanical watches on the other hand are generally less susceptible to magnetic interference, but the mainspring will retain whatever magnetization and impact the ability of the watch to keep accurate time for significantly longer periods of time, often permanently impacting the timekeeping ability of the movement.

Tl;Dr the reason you don't see modern quartz watches advertised as antimagnetic isn't because they perform any better under magnetic field but rather that they are much less likely to be damaged by exposure to magnetic fields. A quartz watch will keep terrible time and have its hands fly all over the damn place under magnetic flux exposure, but they generally will return to normal a little while after leaving the magnetic field whereas your mainspring on your mechanical will have a much harder time demagnetizing hence why magnetic field resistance is a point of importance.

I found some smartwatch bracelet on amazon from a company named v-moro.

I guess there is more of these, search for smart watch bands with the fitting width, this one is 22 mm.

>>14996251
No. Get a nato

>>14996320
Leather straps that are cut to be tight to certain watch cases do exist but generally you see them being sold by the company that sells the watch or you have to do a lot of trial and error. Ones that are as tight as a bracelet with end links generally aren't sold by aftermarket companies because most leather watch straps are going to be replaced within a year or two of wear anyways. Making one that is specific to the shape of one case drastically reduces the versatility of an item that is not particularly expensive/profitable as it is. It definitely looks better without a large gap, but I don't see the market expanding to ones that are that tight unless you really see major profit margin increases on them (in comparison to the $20-40 you see for most watch straps today) or one or two watches becoming 80% of the market the way Apple watch and Galaxy gear are for smart watches.

>>14996328
Makes sense. But since they are rare, aftermarket bands could be sold for more money, specifically for the watch. And the company could ask a higher price.
My experience with leather is, that i wear my bands longer. 3 years and still not fucked. One is 4 years old but i used leather care on it to preven it drying out and cracking.

>>14996358
Yeah, it definitely could be a potential market for more tightly tuned straps, especially for the more common brands you see out there. Congrats on being able to make your leather last. I sweat through my leather bands to the point where I'll generally buy new ones in a year or so, but I'm also a very sweaty person and spend my summers in a country where AC is much less common, but local leather goods tend to be cheap here so it doesn't matter so much.

Baltic Aquascaphe (spelling?). French assembled and regulated with either a Seiko/Miyota 9015 depending on the model and around $600. Solid build quality and generally pretty highly regarded in the microbrand scene for affordable vintage inspired desk divers.

You shouldn't.

If you do though, any AD/jeweler or Rolex store should offer engravings. I don't think you get order them engraved from the factory, but I could be wrong.

Why shouldnt I? And thanks, ill ask them I guess.

I don't like the silver bezel Cosmographs. Too little contrast.. If you do like them go for it. I think they are (like most Rolex) a bit on the expensive side, but if money isn't an object that's here nor there.. If it IS btw, keep in mind that engraving typically hurts resale value.

Of course they are cheaper. They are inferior in ever way - looks, build quality, movements, history etc. If had the money I'd buy the Rolex without a hesitation. But like everyone else here I can only afford cheap shit like a Seiko so that's all I can chose from.

That Grand Seiko spring drive diver is certainly not inferior in terms of build quality or movement to a Rolex Sub, and while I don't really like either of them, at leas the GS doesn't have the hideous maxicase lugs of the modern Sub.

>history
Seiko is older than Rolex and has a long history of horological achievements. What you meant to say was 'prestige', i.e. marketing, not history.

That said, in the last 5-10 years Seiko outside of GS has basically decided to start trying to emulate the worst characteristics of of the 1990s and early 2000s Swatch Group, so they aren't deserving of much of a vigorous defense anymore.

Sternglas makes relatively decent Bauhaus style stuff usually under $400. If you're not so concerned about it being mechanical, Junkers has a lot of Bauhaus under $400 in their quartz line.

Get a g-shock GW-M5610. Has everything you’ll ever need

>>14997607
Tissel definitely makes decent stuff spec-wise for the price, especially if you don't care about design originality. I don't really see much point in directing disapproval towards Sternglas though and it seems not particularly well thought out. Tissel has basically the complete price advantage of having basically no design expenses or Western marketing expenses which doesn't surprise me that they end up spec-wise as a better buy for the money. Sternglas on the other hand has nearly 30 German employees on top of their Chinese supply chain, so it's really unremarkable that dollar per dollar you get better technical specs from the company with no Western employee overhead.

>>14997713
I thought I read somewhere that sternglass uses Chinese assembly and components

Where can i buy used rolex? I dont even know how to go about it. Should i just try to find a local used watch store?

>>14997727
Have you looked at chrono24? There should be loads there and it’s more organised than buying off some dude in a facebook group.

>>14997725
They definitely do use Chinese assembly of components. Their German employees are primarily design, marketing, QC and sales people. The watches are assembled in China using many Chinese parts, but they are checked in Germany before being shipped out to their regional distributors and all of their marketing/sales/design department is located in their headquarters in Germany.

If you HAVE a local store that is reputable and gives warranties I'd recommend that. Rolex isn't necessarily cheap to service or fix, so if something turns out to be wrong I wouldn't want to deal with an online seller. That said, potential difference in price might make it worth the risk..

I don't know where you are, but in Europe and the US there are quite a few sellers that offer 1 to 2 year warranties.

Bauhaus is one of the most boring designs for the most boring people. The same people that like bauhaus also think that minimalism and ikea furniture look good. It's sterile, simple and cheap to construct and can be interpreted to appear expensive or with a deep meaning.

Some people like cleaner dials because they’re functional and easy to read, not because the person themselves is meek and inoffensive. Just like how some people like divers because they’re durable and and easy to dress, not because the wearer wants to LARP as James Bond. Projecting personalities onto watches is for women, dude.

Most people buy max bills or junghans for the sake of owning a peace of the design meme. Non pretentios people will just buy a simple looking watch that costs less.

Bauhaus furniture was designed to be simple and cheap for production but the bauhaus meme made it possible to market it as expensive. They just followed some basic rules of symmetry that other furniture didn't have and voila, the less retarded normies were thinking that it's some hot shit and thougt they were pretty clever because the bought stuff that was "different" and with deeper meaning and thoughts put into.

I was talking about sternglas. You can buy a chrono if you want. But be honest to yourself. The love to bauhaus is not the motivator here. Watch itself looks good, company has story, quality stuff and the markup is low and the stuff produced in china is minimal or none.

The Tissel has better specs but you're talking about the same garbage but even worse because literally 0 Germans get paid for the Tissel whereas at least Sternglas pays someone in Deutschland.
