>>15155023
I wore one of these when I was snorkeling out on vacation and forgot to take it off, but it was perfectly fine. The cream dial contrasts well with brown leather or pretty much any nylon strap. I prefer perlon over NATO even if you can get nice designs with NATO straps.

Oh yeah, if you see it for like $80 it's a freak accident, don't do it.

Does anyone else just enjoy wearing their shitter watches a lot more than their nice ones? It's not even about being afraid to fuck up my nicer ones or anything, the shitters are just somehow more wearable.

What are some modern watches with this style (with or without small seconds) of clean ,small and utilitarian design?.I'm eyeing several models similar to it, from Stowa, the marine 36mm and the antea ks looks nice (and nomos tangente) and similar to it.Something simple like the omega railmaster could also work.Budget would be up to 4k eur.

>>15155614
forgot the pic

>>15155614
This maybe?

>>15155617
for 4k you could probably just get this watch and have it professionally restored until it's ten times better than it was when it was new

>>15155621
looks nice and never saw it, and similar to the JLC master ultra thin which is one of my favourite looking watches.

>>15155614
>clean,small and utilitarian

unironically the Casio MQ-24-7B, aka the pope francis watch
>clean

>small

>utilitarian
yes

>>15155632
why the fuck would I want pope francis's watch?
I hate pope francis

>>15155617
and spend the rest of your budget on hookers and blow

>>15155634
ok but thats not the watch's fault, is it?
hes just happens to be the most famous person wearing it

How does it feel to get (You)d by a real man wearing a mans watch.

Too big?

It tells me the Time

anyone else here wear womens' watches due to the smaller case? it's a shame most luxury offerings have jewels set into the them already

>>15155688
I've seen this pic before but I still cant tell if it's real watch or just a meme

>>15155703
no but im tempted to get a baby g
if only it doesnt say baby on it

Need model name for casio that looks like this but instead of teal it's yellow and there's a circle indicating something in the top right corner of the display

>>15155685
I've always thought this hand looks like it belongs to one of the things in the music video for parabola

>>15155717
Just get a baby G and accept your place in life as a femboy twink I guess.

>>15155720
F94?

>>15155713
It's a musk mr2129, released in 2006. It could have easily been worn by nigger from that time. I really want one for the joke factor but they're pretty much unobtanium at this point.

>>15155724
Yes! Much appreciated.

>>15155688
I need one

>>15155717
You can take the paint off the bezel. The baby-g will still be embossed but it won't really be visible. Or you can just not be a pussy and wear it. There is also the casio LA-20WH if you just want the look and don't need 200m water resistance.

>>15155741
Pic related is the LA-20WH, it's closer to f-91w size.

>Your budget
less than $600, probably, unless someone can convince me that spending more is a good idea. I do care about the store of value so I do not want to purchase something lame which nobody cares about
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
probably only dress; tool watches bother me unless someone can convince me otherwise
> Desired features, e.g. automatic, water resistance, day/date
the requirement is a great movement but not expensive to service
Otherwise, i'd probably like arabic indices like this image or an fp journe chronometre bleu, probably a black face. I feel like I want a perpetual calander(day, month, year, weekday) but I think that's not possible for this price
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
anything but metal, I like when leather/silicone have the locking clasp.
> Wrist size or desired watch size
I tried 44mm and it was huge. I think that I'd prefer 32-36mm. I wamt something understated from afar.

I'm willing to accept a quartz only if it's a very good quartz movement(very accurate and strong movement which doesn't rattle or move etc). I suppose that the marinemaster is like this, but it's a tool watch. I'm not sure I'd like that. I'm even okay with digital if it actually looks good(not a g-shock)

>>15155056
>>15155045

ignore that, yes the rotor is kinda noticeable. now u made me slightly less happy with it, oh well. Is it true for all 7s26?

>>15155776
32-36 mm is literally manlette or women wrist sized.

>>15155776
Basically only a handful of swiss companies like rolex make 34 or 36mm watches. Go to some site like jomashop, search 36mm and filter to means watches only, then sort by price, lowest first. Good luck.

>>15155807
*Mens watches only. Looks like there are a few citizen quartz watches that might fit the bill, not much else. Also just forget about watches "holding their value" unless you are buying a Rolex of Patek.

Why are you concerned with what normies like? Normies don't care about watches and only buy that one because it's gimmicky.

are you guys surviving?

Will prices go down on old Datejusts? Or will something like this stay higher in price because the average buyer won't be as affected by a corona-fucked economy?

Also iterested in that. All I 've seen are knockoffs.

>>15156295
I bought one of these and just couldn't get on with it at all. The strap is cheap and crappy, the watchface is tiny, and the whole thing is just a bit too thin.

The AE1200 is the best cheap casio.

I knew I had seen them somewhere…
I'd love to have a wooden watch, but they're all utter shitters with ripoff designs that don't really work in wood.
I mean for less than $30, you're not wasting too much money, but still.

>>15156332
Actually, this one kinda works, but it's probably going to crap out rather soon-ish.

>>15156340
Or with some cheesy deer? I'd unironically wear that at work, since I'm working in a forestry related field.

>>15156216
The gold/green combo is kino. I love how manufacturers are starting to use it more and more.

>>15156359

>>15156366
While we are on the subject of Panerai...hold me bros.

>>15155717
I feel like even for guys with small wrists the normal square G-Shocks fit pretty good because their shape and lack of lugs make them wear smaller.

>>15156442
The main problem with the squares is that the strap attachment is completely fucked if you have a small wrist, because it effectively extends the lugs out another few mm and leaves a gap, because the watch was designed by nerds who decided to put a buffer zone at the back in the unlikely event of the whole thing falling caseback first onto the ground with the strap wide open.

Given all the adaptors keep this awful feature and don't let a strap come out at 90 degrees, which is what you want if you're a wristlet with a big lug to lug distance, there's really no fixing it.

Dumb question but why does yachting need its own weird complication? Whats so specific about yachting and time? Couldn't a normal watch do what you need?

Guys do you have any recs for watches with "pictures" instead of monochrome, like pic rel?
Possibly <300$

>>15156513
It's a countdown timer for races. Realistically speaking, it's almost completely worthless, but then so are dive watches and 99% of "tool" watches, because they've all been replaced by better alternatives.

>>15156516
forgot pic rel

>>15156345
This would unironically get you pussy

>>15156541
bet, my mom got me a bewell like this when I got into uni because she has ~0.5 points in taste and it did get me some interest, but I didn't wear it that much. 60 bucks too so I mean I wish she put some more and bought me like at least a pro diver or something. Wood watches are weird feeling too, if there is some moisture in the air the bracelet gets stiffer and if it is dry it's loose like any other metal bracelet.

>>15156555
that's not the pic I wanted to post

>>15156525
I don't understand. Can you just answer each question.

>>15156541
I already get all the pussy I want, but yeah, it would indeed be an attention grabber.
>>15156562
Not the anon you replied to, but he did answer the question! It's a specific countdown timer for yachting, and apparently, no, a normal watch can't.
When all the anons with yachts come home from their sailing trips in the evening, maybe they can answer your questions.

I really want this thing, even though I'm yachting even less than I'm diving!

>>15156562
it's specifically for timing the race starts of regattas by the competitors. ircc they announce a 10-15 minute window where the race director can decide to start the race at his discretion and once he decides conditions are right, there is another 5 minute countdown

i'm not entire sure on that, since i only once heard about it in this video about a panerai yacht watch. google the rules of regatta race starts if you're really interested

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB0zUkB9Jqo

>>15156276
if only that wasnt so fuckhuge too..

Gentlemans only:

the perfect size for suit watch is 34 mm

the perfect size for sports watch is 36mm

the perfect size for diver is 38 to 40mm

>>15155921
Good examples of anything will always keep their price. Unless you get lucky you'll be paying market value.

>>15156598
>implying gentlemen would wear a dive watch when not diving

>>15156640

Are diving watches for diving?

>>15156595
My old man has an N1, which is 46mm, which is yuge, the thing also weighs about a kilo with the steel bracelet, but he also has gigawrists being a steel worker, so even a Panerai would look right at home. Speaking of, I just saw that the N1 uses a NH25, which you cannot wind through the crown (WTF?), so a winder will be his next birthday gift.

>>15156525

>>15156863
those ain't proper ma d00d

Actually, with all the special edition watches where dials are made of lacquer, ceramic, and even paper, why don't they ever use wood?

What size is better for the Reverso, Medium or Small? I know for a fact the large ones look like shit.

>>15156978
>negative display
why
the worst part is that they are all negative display, by default. you just have no choice.

>>15156983
wood expands and contracts from humidity in the air

if it was lacquered or treated wood like maybe filled with resin it could be workable.

>>15157001
MIP probably looks like shit with a positive display. Like how early electroluminescent panels had that grainy shit going on.

Either that, or they're just straight up retarded. I don't mind buying a negative regular LCD, you can just buy a new film for 2 bucks and avoid using it with sunglasses. But I don't think MIP has a coating like that.

>>15157001
To save battery maybe? No idea.

>you and your small case frens capture another idiot wearing a 45mm
They're so easy to spot.

>>15157023
Their watch weighs like 50kg and catches on everything so they're easy to capture, too.

I really like some of the Seiko 5 and thinking about to get one. But the idea of jerking off in the air just to wind them before bed is killing me.
Does anybody know how long to shake them for about 1 hour to work?

>>15156681
This ist an INCRETIBLE PIECE!

>>15157050
you dont need to shake them before bed..if you have worn the watch for the day and are reasonably active (aka like a normal human being) it should have zero issues going through the night until the next morning.

i have a snk803 and you only need to shake it for a bit to get it started. afterwards adjust the time and put on wrist and its all done

you could also buy an electronic watch winder for like $25 off aliexpress if you dont wanna do that every time you swap watches

>spend a bunch of money on a strap

Why are straps so shit?

>>15156444
Ah fair point, I didn't consider that.

Does a watch like this exist or a 5004 for ~$1,000 or less? I specifically like the all raised arabic numerals but it seems like that is only in extremely expensive watches

>>15156513
It's a relic from back before the yachting analogue of the wrist-mounted dive computer came about. Supposedly one would time their turns and such by means of an explicit minute indicator that'd stop and restart with a single button press. Which sounds useful if your alternative is like an array of sandglasses of varying lengths.

>>15156681
Nah. Respectable brands have sub homages as well. Also if you wore a real Rolex people would likely still think it was fake, because you won't look like you had $12k disposable one time in your life.

I've been considering a green Loreo myself, but with the corona economy it'll have to wait.

IT BEGINS

>>15157136
those numerals are not that simple to produce to that quality, hence why only the most expensive watches have them

Does anyone have experience with Davosa? They're right in my price range and look nice, albeit obviously stealing Rolex.

I know they have alarm chimes and minute repeaters, but has anyone ever fit a full music box mechanism into a pocket/wrist watch? I'm thinking something like the pocketwatch from For a Few Dollars More

>>15157215
Casio

>>15157215
I love my GS. It's like a little bit of perfection on my wrist. It doesn't have the rich heritage or mechanical intrigue that comes from a high end mechanical watch but the finishing is top notch and the way the second hands tick without vibration feels so solid and impressive. Don't get me wrong, I'd take the beautiful Spring Drive sweep over this watch but it's very satisfying so the same. Also, since it's a high accuracy quartz, it's more reliable than even my phone. I set my other watches to that watch.

>>15157584
I haven't tried any of these, but I've got a Tevise in the mail. Expecting something between hilariously bad and barely workable. Mostly buying one (paying like sub-20€) for the "tongji" chinese standard movement which these are reputed to have. Other brands Youtube points me at are Pagani Design (w/ a 43mm subclone that's got sapphire crystal, proper cyclops, and NH35 or clone) and Winner (which is like Tevise, i.e. very cheap and great value, if shit; kinda like what makes Vostok look deluxe).

>>15157593
Oh I didn’t know there was a fleiger SNZG. Personally I tend to prefer white/cream dials though.

You aren't getting a mechanical chronograph for under a hundred unless it's from the movements seagull rejected and sold parts for an ebauche. Just save up for the real seagull or hked.

That watch was your best shot. Look up either st19 watches or eta c01.211 watches. That's your only hope.

>>15157897
I'm definitely still in the basic bitch phase of this fascination. I really want a cleanly designed watch, but don't feel comfortable shelling out 200+ just yet.

It's kind of sad really. I went on a date with pic related on, and my date said "I didn't know they still packaged toys with kids meals". Roasted my ass. Now I've been trying to find something that's cheap, yet tastful.

>>15157933
Does it have to be a chronograph? A bunch of them aren't 1k or less.

>>15157931
If all you want is a clean watch, you don't have to get a mechanical. Citizen and Timex have clean analog watches. But if you do, your best bet is to look for a seiko 5 you like. Just look it up on the internet and try to find one under a hundred.

>>15157931
Also, the tripfag has a point. In the modern era this is known as a "shit test" where they check your confidence, and ability to not be a doormat. Even if you were wearing something else, they'd find another piece of clothing to pick on. It's not always easy to be confident in yourself, but this is arguably far more important than buying another watch.

>>15157949
I don t want a chronograph. I just like the indices, black face, clean dress watch. The alpinist is ugly.
I just want all raised roman numerals in a 33-36mm dress watch

>>15157853
>mechanical column wheel chronograph under $100
if you want that you can save up another $100 and buy one of the copies/clones for $200+. The "actual" seagull is like $500 anyway.

if you dont mind quartz..under $100...rounded shape..

timex weekender chrono i guess. Theres timex fairfield chrono too and thats nicer imo but also like $50 more.

>>15157931
thats a good utilitarian watch bitches dont have taste

>>15157963
>36mm, black dial, AND raised numerals
You're on your own, kid. Only vintage watches go that small on a men's watch, and most dress watches use little bars because they're dressier than numerals.

dont even feel bad about it. I think almost everyone here has a casio f91w variant.

the vostoks are a super solid choice and loved in the watch community but i think to most normies it'll look like a toy due to the bezels.
Ive heard the casio duro looks nice in person...very durable too
weekender is probably the one to get if you dont wanna think too hard about it or be brothered about upkeeping or shaking or winding a mechanical watch. Keep in mind you are paying for the shiny look though. Its specs aint great, its a quartz movement in a brass case and made in Philippines for $90.

Timex's are loud as shit, a vostok won't help with the "toy" issue and the duro is big. I sold mine to a friend because I didn't like how chunky it looked but it was a nice watch. Maybe consider an EFV-110

>>15157987
Timex weekender is what gets pushed by fashion magazines as the cheapest, versatile watch. Compared to a diver it really is versatile, you can use it for almost every situation. The ticking is damn loud, though.
Vostok is a quirky russian shitter with tons of little features most dive watches don't have. Emphasis on quirky, some things about the watch just suck. People love to mod it and make all sorts of cool things out of it, but that might not be for you.
Casio MDV106 looks really good for what it is, and is also probably the cheapest.

if you want to get a Timex, get a chronograph. those aren't loud because small seconds

>>15155623
What the hell are you talking about? Can't tell if serious or meming

Really appreciate the assistance, guys. Amazon reviews are the worst, and they do nothing but bait you into buying garbage.

>>15158008
>>15158021
>>15158039
Oof, I'll try to avoid the Timex's then

>>15158039
>>15158021
Now that I've taken another good look at the Vostoks, I can see why they may be considered kind of toyish. I don't know why I'm so attracted to that style

>>15158058
>>15158039
I see that the duro's are really huge. Are there any variants with a <40mm case diameter? Are larger watches the only ones with bezels?

>>15158039
Timexs are weird. If its on your wrist you can only hear it when your hands near your face. However when you take it off you can hear that bitch tick across the room.

Got given this as a gift a long time ago. What do we think? Gotta admit, it feels nice.

>>15158071
This
My Weekender Chrono doesn't TICK TICK TICK like my regular Weekender did (I ended up throwing that one in the trash lol)

>>15158106
My other watch, I usually wear it with my drinking buddies as a meme, but I love it.

>>15158080
Dunno. Measure your wrists, if you have a number above 6.5 in you are probably fine.

Do you like my collection, watch dread?
What should I cop next?

>>15158058
Casio should make a >40mm version of this, it would sell like crazy.

>>15157988
are you ok?

Anyone here into pocket watches? Thinking about getting one desu. Tips on how to not make it cringe and fedora-tier pls.

>>15158137
You can't

>>15158123
Anything that isn't japanese, cheap, and/or quartz

>>15158137
Don't get one

>>15157987
If you get the mdv i recommend buying a strap at the same time to replace the hideous rubber strap it comes with. Personally I wear mine on a ''james bond'' nato that I got on ebay for $3. Cheap natos are nice in that they're pretty soft and pliable.

>>15158137
do not get a pocket watch, moron

>>15158137
>Tips on how to not make it cringe and fedora-tier pls.
Be a train pilot.

>>15158137
Yes, but I only have one because that's all I wanted. If you have a job that requires free use of your hands and wrists, then a watch is impractical and a pocket watch is ideal. Further, if you wear 3-piece suits regularly (and I do for work) then a pocket watch fits in the vest quite nicely.

Aside from these settings, a pocket watch will always be a knock to the past. It's not fedora-tier if you have a use for it, but if it's for style alone then either steampunk the shit out of it or refer to it as an 'heirloom'. That's the only way it will be accepted by people in your generation.

If you're going to buy one, go vintage and have a trusted watchmaker close by. Depending on the movement and condition, you should be able to regulate it to reasonable tolerances (i.e. 0.0 per day if you know how it gains/loses depending upon orientation).

>>15158235
well then do it, its your money and your house

>>15158235
Get a Hamilton 992 then

>>15158106
never seen that model before. looks unique with that 'bullseye' in the centre

>>15158117
quartz or mechanical? looks rad

>>15158123
i know its a nice watch but did you really need 3 cocktail times

>>15158123
a field watch for bashing about or a gshock for exercise

>>15156989
The medium thin is the best looking case size imo. It's very close to the original in every dimension

>>15158274
Who tf bashes about in their watch

Thoughts on Tissot anytime? Could it be worn with relatively casual outfits?

>>15158547
erm...lots of people..? its a big genre for watches
>military field watches
>outdoorsmen
>trekking, innawoods, climbing
>even just gardening or fixing stuff in the backyard/ shooting shit

>>15158547
shut-ins and NEETs shouldn't post in /wt/

>>15158554
it's been said a million times. tissot is literally the baseline brand. you get a decent watch, but that's it, you just get the bare minimum decent watch. it's like a tease and for just a few hundred more you can get much better ones or just save up and spend 2000+ and get some real nice shit.

>>15158599
I mean couldn’t the same be said of orient? I love my mako and am perfectly fine with it and don’t care to buy anything more (and I own a GMT master II that I inherited from my dad that I don’t wear as much)

>>15158602
it's different because orient starts at a 100 dollar price point while tissot starts at 400

>>15158602
>>15158554
I get where you're coming from. I pretty much wear my Seiko Monster everywhere even though I have much more expensive watches, but the Anytime is so plain it's kind of devoid of character. You could probably do better for an all-around casual dress watch.

>>15158554
thats an ugly cheap looking watch. it just reminds me too much of those $5 aliexpress quartz shitters. the swiss really are 'muh heritage' fags

>>15158621
What would you suggest at a price point similar to orient then?

>>15158631
A Nomos

>>15155866
I can't believe this is real, actually makes me sick.

>>15158661
Most people have really bad taste. Even people who supposedly have good taste. How else do you explain the popularity of the AP Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore? Or the entire existence of Richard Mille?

>>15158661
Most, if not all, of those reviews are likely fake.

Is there a reason I shouldn't get a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms or Bathyscape? I have no experience with them

>>15158716
It's a common tactic to make fake reviews for an item to make it seem more legit than it really is. Hell bethesda did it for the nuka dark rum a while back, before someone pointed it out that they hadn't even shipped yet so all the reviews were bogus & they promptly removed them.

IT'S A GRAND CLASEEK FROM PATEK FILLEEP FUCKAS

>>15158554
Looks like a $20 aliexpress special. Don't buy Tossit, it's shit.

>actually typing this out

>>15158673
Simple. Having "good" taste when it comes to luxury items makes you look old money, and therefore elitist. Having "bad" taste with things like Richard Mille basically says "I grew up poor but now I'm suddenly rich, I'm just like you" to the plebs who see it. It's why rappers are big into loud watches like the diamond-studded APs, they need to convey a message of aggressively bad taste, otherwise their fans (the actual poors) will think they sold out. Then unfortunately people who can actually afford luxury items and should therefore have enough sense to know better see these rappers, decide that this is what fashion is, and ape the look. And that's how we ended up with Rolex making watches for pimps for the last 20 years

>>15158813
Casio mtp 1246 if you want something that isnt digital
The aq230 is also nice. Has an analog and digital display.

Anybody have experience with Getat? They seem to be the go-to when it comes to Panerai homages. I would never-ever pay full price, or even get a used original, sadly. I love their design, but the pricing is ridiculous for what you get.

>>15158952
Precista make good Panerai homages, I've got a PRS-20 limited edition of 100 pieces with exhibition caseback

Is it a good idea to seal the helium escape valve on a Seamaster shut?

>>15158999
Why would that ever be a good idea?

>>15158083
probably because of the fact they are on some surface. Varg used his table as a fuckin guitar amp when he did a livestream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESrvuyirTXI

So, what would you call this case shape, /wt/? Cushion? Tonneau? Or is it distinct enough from either archetype that it warrants it's own classification?

>>15159163
Maxi pad

>>15159163
And then what about this? From the side profile it looks obviously tonneau, but then again without the lugs it's a rounded square which would make it technically a cushion case? Something about that feels wrong though

>>15159174
Sorry wrong photo, that one above is objectively tonneau

Which B-Uhr Flieger is the best choice, if I want a 45mm one?

Steinhart or Laco seem like the two options, one being half the price of the other, with both having the same 2824-2 élaboré movement (though you can pay extra for top from Laco).

Stowa only has a 40mm, and with my 19cm wrist I prefer a 45mm.

>>15158909
>Having "bad" taste with things like Richard Mille
you can't deny their engineering tho

>>15158952
>the pricing is ridiculous for what you get.
How so?

>>15159216
What about the watch, do you think, warrants a 3.5k+ price tag for the most basic bitch model and upwards?

>>15159222
What? You can get a real one for that kind of money

>>15159032
To keep his precious helium?
I’m as lost as you are. >>15158999 you really have to tell us why you wasted trips on that weird idea!

>>15159233
I was talking about Panerai being overpriced.

>>15159213
What's so special about their watchmaking that warrants like six-figure price tags?

thoughts on JEANRICHARD for their price bracket?

>>15159032
>>15159235
I mean, its a completely useless function and removing it would make it look cleaner and more aesthetic.

>>15158083
sound probably comes from the case back and your arm absorbs the sound.

>>15159314
it would give the watch a blemish, kill any potential resale value and anyone who knows a bit about watches would think you're wearing a broken watch unless you spill your spaghetti and explain that you mutilated a perfectly good watch to appease your autism.

>>15159314
Just buy a watch without it or, if it's too late sell it to someone that isn't an autist like you

>>15159331
>>15159339

>>15159392
please dont tell me.....serious?

lmaooooooooo

Cop? It's about $1600. There's also blue and green dials... is black the best?

>>15159522
black is simple and safe. it really depends on how you want to play it.

>>15159522
The new Rado Captain Cooks are nice. No crown guard and a beads of rice bracelet are automatically super classic on a diver and the design is simple and straightforward. Black is a versatile and it makes the watch look smaller but the other variations with colors are just so cool. I think the new trend is people are tired of the black watch because it's so basic and want something more expressive so you can get away with blue and green. Pretty sure they have a red version too. The colorful variations are probably more fitting because Rado is kind of a playful brand with their free-swinging anchor logo and funny naming schemes.

What's everyone wearing today? I know the thread is about to die but I might as well post my lovely micro-shitter

>>15159524
>>15159537

I'd probably wear it casually most of the time... I like green a lot but it isn't in stock on gray market right now though. Blue is though. They have a red but it's the smaller 37mm golden horse on a leather band

>>15159539
that thing is hideous.

>>15159545
Maybe you should just wait for the green ones to show up again. I'm sure a lot of people spent their trumpbux on a watch just now but things can flip pretty fast. It doesn't help that green is the hot color right now.

>>15159547
If you say so. I'm pretty partial to it. The green is really nice in the sunlight and it's both comfortable and really accurate. It was regulated to +/-4s from the factory but rarely gains more than 2s/d which is pretty good for a $400 watch.

Can anyone help me ID this old Tag Heuer? Belonged to my dad, he guesses that he bought it around 1995? the number below the logo on the right is CG1110-0 if it helps at all.

>>15159539
Nothing, I'm at home. I've seen better green dials but this is alright

>>15155572
Friend gave me this. It’s $600 bucks. I feel like I owe him.

>>15159551
The blue is definitely nice too and macy's has a good deal on it right now... there's also this for the same price

>>15159577
The Golden Horse is cool but that's a very different watch. It's not a diver and the big gold horses combined with the red Rado logo complicate things a bit. The new limited editions launched just last year I think and they're a bit controversial because the green one looks amazing but then people bitch about the presence of green, red, and gold on the dial saying it's too much color. I like having lume, too. These might turn out to be issues for you.
Try seeing them in person to decide since many watches can look different in promo shots. Or watch a video.

>>15159522
Saw someone on Facebook group Diver's Watches selling this for less than $1200 in mint condition. Black dial version. Good luck!

Rate this Royal Oak

This Omega is a real stunner

>>15159577
That's pretty awesome, I dig the ovaries logo.

>Rado
>a company that sells quartz watches for 1200

>>15159625
god AP is fucking hideous garbage
I bet people will bring up their classic heritage watches and whatnot to defend them even though nobody cares about those anymore and AP is all-in on being "the royal oak co." now
AP has no dignity left and they should just die

looking for a dw5735 anniversary edition and it looks like most of the marketplace is on ebay, any tips on avoiding fakes? is this even something I should be worried about?

>>15159625
yall really hate flashy watches. wheres the flavor in a collection of a bunch of simple dressy watches? i mean, theres a certain elegance to a more refined watch for formal sort of use, but in the right setting on the right person, i dont personally see the problem in blingy, colorful pieces. again, not exactly my cup of tea, but i think those sorts of watches have their place and deserve respect

>>15159625

>>15159522
Of course, super cool watch

I'd go with black if it's your main watch, but green otherwise

>>15159625
for POC and sleazy boomers

>>15159568
I'm actually planning on buying one of these, although not that exact model


The movement is an eta 251.262 and is unique in that it is a quartz mimic of the lemania 5100 style of central minute hand.


I do not like that bracelet, not gonna lie.

>>15159717
Flashy watches are OK, blinged up Royal Oaks aren't. Completely destroys the appeal of the watch

>>15159729
>Completely destroys the appeal of the watch
subjective

>>15159163
Bandaranaikos.

>>15159575
I think the sector is a watch that grows on you the longer you have it. One thing the photo doesn't really show is that the dial is actually 3 layered pieces with some visible depth between them which I really like in comparison to my other green watch which is just a flat single piece sunburst dial like a hulk.

>>15159625
1/5

>>15159679
Pretty sure all the fakes out there are very obvious, they didn't do a good job cloning the LCD.

>>15159625
It looks like a fake that you'd find at a scam jewellery shop in some third world country.

rado fag again, I'm thinking of copping this too so a colored captain cook is probably the better choice

Buy one that ships from Japan. Might want to wait until the bad aids situation calms down.

>>15159813
I ordered a watch from Japan like 10 days ago and it was only just fucking shipped. If this thing gets tied up in customs too I'm going to kill myself, but it's in the cheapest possible form of shipping so I'm guessing the dude just wrote "lol watch accessories 500 yen" on the box for me.

>>15159827
shoulda paid for EMS nigga

got a shitter citizen 6000 for $20 ebay
running - 10spd


Gonna use it as a practice bed for disassembling/reassembling and seeing if I can get it ticking without following any guides

>>15159833
I wanted it cheap, man. I'm already overpaying because it's a JDM model that's out of production everywhere else, but on the plus side at least it's brand new.

Automatic or self-winding.

Specifically looking at the Stowa Marine. Thank you to the person who recommended it a few threads back btw.

>>15159837
-10 s/d stays within 35 sec for a week if set to +35 every 7 days. There's many, many worse Seikos than this.

>>15159837
why don't you get a REAL simple 70s shitters like 10 dollar ebay HMT watches? that's a true integrated bracelet style 70s citizen that's actually keeping good time, that's a good watch and deserves better

>I mean, its a completely useless function and removing it would make it look cleaner and more aesthetic.
I agree with you on the first part. Yes, it's utterly useless, however, if you remove it, congrats:
You just turned a watch that you could use for submersion diving (which you never will do) into a watch you can't even wear in the swimming pool without ruining it.
But doesn't matter, it's already ruined, so some water damage won't matter much anymore.
Dude, just buy a fake, it certainly won't have a helium relause valve and be happy!

Don't know too much about it, but I've heard good things about the movement used. It's starting to sound like Chanel might be taking their watches a bit more seriously now much like brands such as Hermès.
