Stupid question. You can always pay more for better fabric and construction, even if that means going to a speciality clothier and taking that to a tailor.

>>15158244
The thread title is "best value".
>>15158194
>leather shoes
probably $200 allen edmonds, but people will probably say $400 c&j/carmina
>sneakers
$100

>sweater
$200-$300
>jacket/coat
$200-$300
>watch
$400
>one pair of socks
$15
>one pair of underwear
$15

it all decreases by a lot when used.

>>15159376
>>watch
>$400
debatable

>>15159394
i think by $500, you have access to something like an 561-565 omega or tissot seastar, so you just need to choose one in good condition, but at $400 you will have the seiko presage watches, SARB, homages like a steinhart ocean one.
You could say $2,000-$3,000 where you have the zenith el primero and omega aqua terra co-axial master etc but it's definitely not the best value.

>>15159394
debatable in the way that there are good 20$ watches

>>15159447
one could argue rolexes are the best value since they actually keep their value and are just as good as having cash.
>>15159450
Depends on what one's personal definition of a "good watch" is.

>>15159457
ok so you are going to buy a rolex and put it in a safety deposit box.

whats the point? a watch is meant to be worn

>>15159450
OP is referring to the quality and watches under ~$150 always have something wrong. The band sucks, the movement is cheap and loud, or whatever.
>>15159457
Well, it seems that the condition is very important, so i'm not sure. Wearing it each day could decrease the value. You're also spending a lot for the maintenance on watches with luxury in-house movements.

>>15159474
>watches under ~$150 always have something wrong.

but this is true even for watches thousands of dollars. There are -many- extremely good watches for under $150. Gshocks for example. Or the casio duro. Even aliexpress rolex homage watches give great value at $100. When does the small/unimportant increase in quality not justify the cost?

>>15159376

ha ha, no.
(okay with the rest, tho)

thank you for your contribution.

>>15159457
>one could argue rolexes are the best value since they actually keep their value

Only if you don't wear them.
But OP was talking about things you actually wear, not "muh investment piss". If, Patek Philip is even a better investment.

>>15159516
I'm not finished scrolling, wait a few minutes before i get there.

>>15159516
you're deluded if you think watches >$400 give "good value". Those are luxury, not value items. The f91-w or its variants or the gshock is the best value watch by pure specs in existence, since they come with many functions, far more accurate than 99% of mechanical watches, and can survive a ton of shit.

>>15159512
>but this is true even for watches thousands of dollars
No, it isn't. This is /fa/. Nobody is wearing a ben-10 fischer price g-shock watch. I tried the Duro and it was cheap junk. It's literally a walmart watch.

its a 200m diver watch for under $50.

this thread is about VALUE not looks

>Nobody is wearing a ben-10 fischer price g-shock watch.
but those watches are classics, go ask in the watch general. There are many expensive watches that look like shit as well.

>>15159531
>you're deluded if you think watches >$400 give "good value".

Automatic and quartz watches are two different things.
You can't get a good automatic under $2000.

Nobody cares about the value if it's lightspeed ugly. This isn't /g/.

>>15159609
I agree with the sweaters. Mine >>15159583 was only for alpaca/merino. $1,000 for a coat is ridiculous.

you're on /fa/. looking good is the entire point. we just want to know at what price does the quality stop improving enough to justify. you're mentally challenged. wear a incelshock, nobody cares. Wearing watches is for idiots anyway. it barely improves an outfit if at all.

>>15159658
>price points where I think the *increase in* quality begins to drop off
I'm assuming that this is what you mean't.

>>15159376

>sneakers
I work in basic bitch shoes, and there is a jump in quality in sneakers at around 80, and again around 120. I would say 120 - 180 is the range where your money is going towards improving the functionality or style of the sneaker. Anything above that is accelerating in price at a higher rate than the actual quality you're getting.

>>15159607
the NH35A is a pretty good movement for what it is

automatic, hacking, handwind for ~$200

what more do you want

>>15159626
ugly is subjective, anon
gshocks have high value especially in asia

>>15159669
Fuck, right, my bad.

>>15159662
if you just want to "look good" you can get a timex weekender (either version) for <$100

>>15159701
The thread is about when quality stops increasing and you're just wasting money. Holy shit, you are retarded. Stop spamming the thread about watches. Your fucking socks matter more.

>>15159705
a watch matters. Why do people spend money on them? why is there a watch general and not a socks general?

>>15159716
Sock companies don’t have shill budgets and sock resellers don’t exist

>>15159750
socks arent visible more than half the time. a watch is always front and centre. There is engineering and history in a watch as well.

>>15159716
nobody cares about your useless accessory

>>15159791
people obv do, just because you dont doesnt mean its true for all

>>15159788
Sock material engineering is actually pretty interesting, watches are mostly designed as a bunch of platonic solids and a spring but sock fibers and weaves are much more fluid and novel

>>15159788
but you're shilling $10-$25 casios and timex walmart watches, so clearly you don't care about any of that watch marketing garbage and are only saying it because you can't think of anything else to say.
>>15159799
Most people don't wear a watch, so you're wrong. Stop posting.

>>15159814
lmao what a bunch of BS. There arent even sock videos on YT. Socks is just material and cost and whether you like the pattern on it.

>>15159820
>you can buy it in walmart so its bad
>a product has marketing so its bad
>if you like it you have to be a shill or brainwashed by the shills
>if you like watches you must be a shill
>most people dont wear a watch

maybe go out sometime? your subjective truth isnt the universal truth
for example when i was in the military almost everyone had a watch

>>15159830
If tried to talk with your military friends about watches they’d call you a faggot

>>15159830
>i was in the military almost everyone had a watch
lol maybe because it's part of their job to have syncronised times. you're literally required to buy a watch from their store during basic training for this purpose. you're so dumb, i'm not responding to such mouthbreathing stupidity anymore.

>>15159830
>there aren’t paid sock reviews on YouTube
Like I said, sock sellers don’t have shill budgets

>>15159846
some dont care some do
some just buy a no frills field watch/casio, others go for a gshock or luminox

but thats true for all things isnt it? why buy a $80 converse when you can get plain sneakers for $25 in H&M?

why are you so mad about watches?
show me where the watch touched you

>>15159850
ok so it is a utilitarian tool and not a " useless accessory" now?>>15159799

>>15159858
Confirmed for not knowing anything about watches and shoes, likely no business being on /fa/ at all

>>15159876
lmao i know more about watches than you. You're probably the kind who thinks watches are just diposable fashion accessories with $5 quartz movements in them

>watch moron is from the military
explains the lack of cognitive ability instantly
>>15159869
doesn't even fit the wrist lmao the lugs are going off the edge, holy shit you people are worthless, kill all watch morons

>>15159891
are you blind? the lugs are literally just nice on the edge, its not an issue

>>15159895
Your watch is as large as your tiny wrist, almost hairless wrist. You are an moron.

>>15159888
if you spend $5 on a quartz movement it'd better suck your dick or something

>>15159910
its within acceptance, you hairy ape. Its not an issue unless its literally poking way out from the wrist

*hide all watch spam*

>>15159869
You're not white.

>>15159914
>he doesnt know there are various grades of quartz movements and the difference in quality is high

anon........

some of the most advanced (and expensive) movements are quartz, like the spring drive or the caliber 0100. Those watches literally go for $5000 and up. The latter is accurate to +/- 1 second per year.
