some of the most tasteless watches cost $500,000

>>15183428
>6x the price
>does the same thing but with metal case

>>15183434
Cost absolutely does not = taste and you are absolutely correct that most of the most expensive watches in the world are tasteless clown shit.

>>15183455
And has a nicer resin band. It also doesn't have that stupid red border and was assembled by nip hands. But hey, I just wanted something a little nicer than my F-105 when the band broke. :^)

Post awe-inspiring collections

The best looking watch for $50 or less is the MDV-106. But what is the best looking watch for $200? What about $2000?

>>15183428
Yeah i would rather have one of those but I am king of the wristlets.
>>15183455
Sorry friend but it is the superior g-shock. That skinny gook that designed the original G-shock would have never been okay with making one of of plastic.

>>15183478
Ibe-san has a rotation of black, white and red 5600s depending on the season. I doubt the last two colors were made with a steel caseback

>>15183487
Even the black one is a GW5610-1

>>15183471

>>15183382
I'm Italian

>>15183434
no one is implying cost = taste, the anon is simply saying the guy is wealthy but has no taste. wouldn't be surprising to find out he buys seikos to be pseudo contrarian instead of actually liking them given the weird picture posing them with his salary. sounds like the same logic people use when buying expensive things for the sake of it.

>>15183499
I'm smoking an Italian cigar and am impressed by how NOT shitty it is. You wops have my respect.

>>15183507
I don’t know man. Wearing a Seiko 5 with that kind of bonus is pretty based.

>>15183471
I get that they're all mall shitters, but jesus christ, that skeleton has got to be the ugliest watch of all time

>>15183471
is that a fucking billabong watch?

Are Citizen watches good

>>15183561
citizen is one of the best brands you can go with if you are looking for quartz, they have been doing it for a very long time and specialise in it. For light powered watches i think ecodrive cannot be beat. They make a ton of styles too.

What do you think when you see someone who is wearing a Rolex?

>>15183578
Depends on the person wearing it.
>old guy
Oh that's a nice watch, they must be pretty successful
>young guy
Oh that's a nice watch, his parents must be rich or he must be really bad with money

The Rolex brand is built on the idea that you buy a Rolex after accomplishing something, so it just gives a different impression when I see younger people wearing them. Not that young people can't have accomplishments worthy of a Rolex, but it's just less likely in my mind.

>>15183561
citizen is like seiko's bookish cousin, but instead of churning out affordable mechanical pieces they do it with quartz and ecodrive. The most accurate non atomic watch in the world is currently a citizen. It has an accuracy of +- 1 second per year... price tag is crazy though. Otherwise most of their watches are <1000$

>>15183578
If they’re young and dressed cheaply but wearing a sub I think they’re a moron.

>Ask a rich relative if he's into watches, he says no
>The next time he visits he's asking me if he should get a two tone skydweller or a gmt-master

Why does this make me feel bad? It's not like he'd miss the 10k, and it's not like a rolex is a bad brand.

>>15183625
This is exactly how mint condition estate find Rolexes are created.

>rich person who isn't into watches gets memed into buying a Rolex "because it's the cool thing to buy"
>doesn't end up wearing it because they realize they don't really care about watches
>sits in a safety deposit box for 30 years
>gets found and sold for a huge premium

If you're smart you'll tell him to buy a blue Sky Dweller or a meteorite GMT for max gains.

>>15183648
Honestly, I was just flummoxed and blindsided, so all I could say was that a GMT hand would be cool since he travels a lot. It wasn't so hard for me to make a recommendation because I've handled a Rolex before and he just wanted to compare between two similar watches, but still. I even told him that there were lots of other cool brands to look at in that price range like Zenith and Grand Seiko before making a purchase, but I'm not sure he paid attention after that.

>>15183294
post this in /a/ let's get a thread going over there

Maybe it will catch on and we can get the fuck out of /fa/

>>15183665
Rolex's brand recognition power is honestly amazing. The only brand that comes close is Omega, but that's a bit market selective. As long as he's happy with his purchase that's all the matters, but honestly it's amazing how much the Rolex and Omega brands depends on customers like that.

here's a question

Why don't rolex make quartz models to compete with GS? Surely the modern normie couldn't give a fuck about clockwork and would desire the undeniable convenience of accurate quartz.

>>15183672
I mean /g/ is always an option I guess, but I don't oppose this idea

>>15183679
The only reason why Rolex is such a powerful brand today is because they don't make quartz models. They very briefly made quartz models in the 1970s, but realized they couldn't compete with Seiko and instead went all in on the luxury market. At the time they knew their mechanical movements had a certain niche, and they were able to continue on by not changing much. That's also part of the reason why Rolex's designs have barely changed over the decades.

At the same time Omega tried going downmarket to compete with Seiko and had its reputation trashed for a long time. It wasn't until the late-90s where Omega began to recover, but by then Rolex had emerged as the top of the luxury watch market.

Normies definitely would know the difference, to people who have never seen an automatic second hand before the sweep is distinctive.

>>15183689
>They very briefly made quartz models in the 1970s
They made the oysterquartz pieces for decades, right up until the early 2000s.

>>15183428
i like this one

>>15183692
Right, I stand corrected my mistake. However yeah I really don't think normies would want a quartz Rolex. I could be wrong though who knows.

>>15183696

my cousin is mad spoilt and hes a total watch snob. He has rolexes and omegas but they are all bought by his father.

>>15183730

hello based department

>>15183749
I feel like FC is just JLC for people who can't afford JLC

I’m about to spend $500 on a fake Rolex. Talk me out of it. What should I buy instead?

>>15183741
actually a watch snob. His father actually took the time to look at and examine my $100 seiko 5 and showed me how the chronograph worked on his daytona, without any airs. Said its good im getting into watches and I should "consider saving up for a luxury piece"

meanwhile my cousin was scoffing at the mention of brands like seiko, grand seiko and even breitling. Literally said they are not worth the time etc

outside of watches he is just like any other zoomer teenager

>>15183290
>>15183630
>>they're discontinuing it in favor of the new $14k version
>is this true for sure, or just a guess?
Well it's been discontinued, so either it's gone forever, or they're making an update to bump the price up a few thousand... no more "respectable" 3.5-4k chrono, no shortcuts to the big boy club.

>>15183760
$500 of LINK so that you can buy your Rolex eventually

>>15183746

>>15183578
Nothing, they're so common that there's really nothing to think except that they know at least the basics of what a good watch brand is, and they have at least the minimal amount of money to live in society.

>>15183692
They made non-oysterquartz quartz watches considerably longer after that, as well

>>15183625
Because you're a jealous loser. Literally the only good reason to even have money is to fuck with little shitters like you who can't stand that someone's better than them.

a reminder that there are normies buying watches like this every single day

>>15183774
Too bad you couldn't even afford a real rolex. Does it drive you mad, that you're living a lie?

>>15183679
Because my Rolly don't tick tock, it just glide.

The public perception that's been created by marketing is that only Rolex watches have a smooth second hand, if you ask people on the street, they'll tell you that this is how you'll recognize a fake Rolex from a real deal, and they'll tell you that other brands (such as their Timex) don't have this feature. If you show them a mechanical watch, they will tell you that it's a Rolex rip off because Rolex invented the gliding second hand.

>>15183595
I shorted SPY when the covidpocalypse started and cashed out to buy a Rolex to commemorate my enormous IQ dabbing on passive investors who parrot “hurr durr you can’t beat the market”. I can and I did. Proof is on my wrist.

In all seriousness though since it is essentially gambling, spending it on something frivolous rather than something important felt like the right thing to do

>>15183471
took me a second

>>15183475
personal taste makes this impossible to answer, someone who likes big divers and busy chronographs won't like the pic of someone who prefers minimalist watches
the cop-out answer is a used watch is best for each price bracket because you can buy into a higher tier of watch for less

Bros I want a subtle anime watch

>>15183822
Say no more senpai

>>15183822
No no thinking it well I want a watch that tells "I'm a freak that jerks off to cartoons"

>>15183824
I can't decide on which zaku watch is better. I also can't believe I remembered they were called zakus.

>>15183822
Seiko makes some great ones but all are limited edition and are hard to get.

>>15183829
Red one hands down

>>15183827
I got you

>>15183827
Kinda like this

m gonna check on Aliexpress

>>15183829
The Gundam watch is honestly perfect, but I can't justify spending $5k on a Seiko Prospex, they really should've bumped these up to Grand Seiko to justify the price.

>>15183846
At least it has spring drive, the zakus are 3k 8LXX movements

>>15183841
I think you're right.
>>15183846
Holy shit! $5k for that?

>>15183853
It uses a Grand Seiko case and bracelet as far as I can tell, I think the only reason why they didn't brand it as a Grand Seiko is because they don't want to 'ruin the aesthetic' of the Grand Seiko brand or something.
>pic related

>>15183857
The price makes sense when you consider that it's a Spring Drive GMT. It just doesn't make sense that it was branded as a Prospex instead of a Grand.

You also have to understand that these were released for the 40th anniversary of Gundam, that's a pretty big deal.

>>15183842
Thanks anon found very interesting watches

>>15183822

>>15183864
probably cos they didnt want to have a freakin' ANIME WATCH in the history of grand seiko

>>15183842
>>15183843
>>15183866
I've seen these before, and I get that they're just stealing random pictures off Pixiv and throwing them on a watch face, but does anyone actually buy this trash?

>>15183869
Normally I'd agree with you, but Gundam is different. It really is a cultural phenomenon in Japan and it seems like a huge marketing mistake to not try and capitalize on that.

What do ya'll use to polish the crystal on yr watches?

>>15183749
Give me a quick rundown on the brand and their watches that are worth it

>>15184210
It might, I saw some blog recommend toothpaste for watches. Its worked on clearing up my headlights before.

>>15183880
This one is also pretty neat, too bad it only has standard features.

>>15184234

>>15184238
Those Babby-G watches would sell really well if they just took the "Baby-G" off of ithem. I know a lot of wristlets or children who would like a G-Shock but the normal ones are too big for them, but they would probably rather kill themselves than wear something that says Baby-G on it.

Is it possible to be the "watch guy" if you don't own a Rolex or anything above Rolex?

>>15184244
Yes. You don't need to be a snobby cunt.

>>15184244
I don't think you realize how many people don't care about watches at all. In my experience, owning multiple watches of any kind and talking about watches and their gears and shit in any way will make you "the watch guy"

>>15184244
why not
imagine a universe where rolex wasnt in this position and the exact question was asked but insert [omega] / [tudor] / [panerai] instead

>>15184250
But if you're "the watch guy" how do you answer when people who only know Rolex as the good watch brand ask why you don't have one?

>>15184254
Tell them that Rolex is overrated or you're working your way up or something.

>>15184252
I mean it would be exactly the same? Normalfags would just axe you why come you don't have a Tudor or whatever the most famous watch brand is.

>>15184256
Now if you own a better watch, like a Patek or a Lange or something, you can tell them "haha Rolex is shit my Lange costs $40k look at this movement" and that's fine, but if you only own cheaper watches, how do you weasel out of everyone just thinking you're too poor for a real watch (which you are but who wants to admit that).

>>15184257
>how do you weasel out of everyone just thinking you're too poor for a real watch
most normal people are fucking retards who don't know anything about watches and don't want to know, so there's no point in caring what they think in the first place.

>>15184257
>only a rolex or above is a "real watch"
Don't accept the premise of an asshole. Anyone who legitimately thinks that is a closed minded retard.

>>15184259
That's fine, enlightened individuals who only use facts and logic such as ourselves have the intellectual faculties needed to brainwash ourselves into thinking that, but 99% of society doesn't and you still have to live in it, so...

>>15184243
>he's not a baby gangster

>>15184265
So? Just assert your opinion without being a bitch.

>>15184244
>>15184257
>Normalfags would just axe you why come you don't have a Tudor or whatever the most famous watch brand is.

Where do you even live? Sometimes comments like this makes me think some people are sorrounded by cliche generic HS materialistic people, like nobody expects you to have an expensive watch wtf.
Also most people that don't know anything about watches will acknowlege that they don't know anything therefore you can tell them "Yes but the Rolex brand is marketing because X and Y, there are better brands because X and so on.
There you have it a nice 10 minute conversation about something interesting.

>>15184257
maybe you can just say instead of spending X money on 1 single watch you chose to have a more varied selection instead. And with these cheaper beaters you can open up the back to tinker around without worry...

i dont think anyone will actually shame you for "not having a rolex" unless they are just assholes. Thats like asking a "car guy" why he doesnt have a ferrari or whatever.

>>15184280
>some people are sorrounded by cliche generic HS materialistic people
Yes some people are surrounded by average human beings in 2020, imagine that.
>you can tell them "Yes but the Rolex brand is marketing because X and Y, there are better brands because X and so on.
Like what? Which brands would you put as X and Y, and which watches, that are significantly less expensive than a Rolex, but people will still believe you they're just as good or better?

>>15184294
The average human being doesn't care about your watch at all regardless of what watch it is

are we really going to have this asinine "it's not worth it to wear anything but Rolex" discussion every goddamn thread. quit replying to that kid ffs

>>15184294
>people still believe
>caring about what normies think

just buy the watches you want and not care so much about what other people think. Its kinda stupid to spend $13000 on a watch you probably dont even like that much, for that 5 min of conversation

if they are interested in the engineering of watches they wouldnt have cared if it was a rolex or whatever

>>15184294
In all my life I don't think I've ever been sorrounded by people like that, seems like a generic cliche HS, like I imagine a 'roastie' looking disgusted at you and saying "That's not a rolex? Uh what the fuck anon' and so on, looks a bit comical.
>but people will still believe you they're just as good or better?
Isn't that supposed to be your knowledge? Like, are you trying to impress people or just have a conversation about watches?
You probably have some nice watches you like or know some brands that have features a Rolex doesn't or for half the price or just talk about why you prefer this brand because it has a movement you like more.
Isn't that how people are supposed to have a conversation? Pretty sure that if you talk confident and actually have knowledge anyone will belive anything you say, that applies to anything in life honestly.

>>15183471
Why would anyone do that?
It’s too ugly to be serious, even for a pleb, and it’s too big of a collection for a troll.
>>15184100
It does have a seconds hand though. So you just have to make sure whatever you’re timing starts at zero seconds and you’re good! Or maybe it turns, like a dive bezel?

>>15183294

>>15184301
>>15184315
Alright, we're all strong independent watch autists who need no normie opinion here, I get that, but for the sake of the discussion, why can't you just name some brands and models that would fit into this:
>>you can tell them "Yes but the Rolex brand is marketing because X and Y, there are better brands because X and so on.
>Like what? Which brands would you put as X and Y, and which watches, that are significantly less expensive than a Rolex, but people will still believe you they're just as good or better?
Or are you claiming that they won't believe you either way so it's pointless to try, just have to disregard their "bad opinion" preemptively?

>>15183625
youre jealous. thats okay, i would be jealous too

>>15184361
pathetic

>>15184361
>they won't believe you
Hm pretty sure most people don't know anything about Rolex either but the name of the braind and the fact that is expensive it's not like they have an strong opinion about it, and normal people would usually listen to you if you seem knowledgeable about the topic you're talking about.
Yet in the end no one cares what you're wearing anon, you could talk about movements but most people don't care about that although some may find it interesting, but they will probably be interested in the asthetic design of the watch and you could just tell them there are 'homages' or other brands with 1/8 of the price.

>>15184367
>>15184386
So still no real answer. Why can't you just be honest and answer the question directly?
>no one cares
I guarantee that they'll care if it's Rolex, so...

>>15184400
>I guarantee that they'll care if it's Rolex
IMO if all you want is to impress people go ahead and drop the money for it yet I wouldn't like to get the attention of the kind of people that get impressed over the price of the watch, consider that most people nowdays will think you're retarded for spending that much on such a thing too, if what you care is what others think.

If you want to be objective then I could say even a quartz is better than a mechanical rolex for the sole purpose of keeping an accurate time.

nobody cares about what watch you wear

Seriously, is it the same "if you have anything else than a Rolex, normies/rich people/women won't respect you" kid who derails the thread every time by pretending to ask good faith questions, or are there just that many retards here?

>>15184421

I love how upset they get when someone posts a homage of their shit, it's like their world goes down.

>>15184421
it's gotta be the same boy. his responses every thread to the answers he gets are much too similar

>>15184418
To add, having a brand expensive watch will make it look fake if you're not the type of person suited for it, like, if you're a 20's that dresses like garbage.
Some pieces of jewelry go hand in hand with certain types of aspects, lifestyles, personalities and so on.
That's a giveway to people using replicas too.

what watch looks best when worn on the penis? my dick is very large but it is still much smaller than my wrists. any suggestions?

>>15183463

Lol, imagine being this insecure.
How about simply telling them
>”Rolex is nice, but they’re horrendously overpriced and spending 10k on a watch would be rather irresponsible. Hell, my 100/500/1k/whatever watch I’m wearing right now is already overpriced, since a 5€ Casio is just as good”

Complaining about the price of something that people see everywhere on even marginally successful people doesn't really put you in a very good light. I mean I know it's overpriced, we all know it, but... is it really? Just take a stroll down fifth avenue and you'll see literally hundreds of them. Millions of them are sold every year all over the world. Everyone who's anyone on Instagram/Youtube wears them.

I guess maybe if you're some kind of an anti-establishment antiglobalist army surplus guy, but you'll have to be pretty young (college age) for that look and life philosophy to work for you so it's not applicable to most people.

Fashion watches from famous brands could work, but they look like utter shit and they *are* utter shit from our enlightened watch guy perspective. Is there a way to do this without selling out to the Chink dropship quartz devil?
>>Y: Vostok
See >>15184478 - that would work if you sold yourself as some kind of an anti-American pro-Putin activist, however they would just look at watches Putin wears and ask you why you don't have one of those instead.

Alright what should I pick KOMANDIRSKIE or Amphibian?

I think the hand wiring puts me off a bit but could be tolerable who knows never had one.
What about modding capacility? which one is better? I would like to have one with a NATO strap and such and it has to be 40mm or less preferably.

>>15184478
>Just take a stroll down fifth avenue and you'll see literally hundreds of them. Millions of them are sold every year all over the world. Everyone who's anyone on Instagram/Youtube wears them.
Yeah that's called marketing and having an stablished brand, people who spend big money and know about watches go for something else, only black people and retarded normalfags that don't know shit go for ROLEX.

Stop being insufferable and get a Rolex if you want, if you look like shit and such thing doesn't suit your lifestyle you will only look like a joke.

And I know for certain that my 500€ watch is the most expensive one in my circle of friends, if we’re going to ignore the Suuntos for skiing and hiking.
And at my previous work in consulting and environmental engineering I’ve only seen two boomers with expensive watches. One with a nomos tangengte (he got it for cheap because the company did some planning for their new building) and one with a 30yo beat to shit date just. But other than that, it’s at best some “exclusive, limited edition!!!” Quartz from the airlines bonus miles shop.

I despise the G-shock's rubber strap and bezel, thank god you can get metal replacements these days. They feel like shit, and within 5-10 years they'll have degraded to the point where they're sticky to the touch and unwearable.

>>15184482
Jesus you're exasperating, it's a fucking watch, nobody will fucking ask you why the fuck you are wearing it and why you're not wearing what Putin is wearing.

Is your existence so pathetic that you have to justify everything to others on a daily basis?

Watch tier list:
>5 dollar casio - Literally the best option for most people.
>Atomic solar casio - The actual best watch type in the world, if you live within reception range, and don't routinely travel outside of MB6 areas.
>Spring drive seiko - The only expensive watch worth owning.
>Rolex - The best watch for flexing on shitters.
>Budget automatic - For people who are insane and worry about everything electric exploding/being used to track them.

And that's the end of the list. Anything not on this list is basically dogshit, and not remotely worth owning under any circumstance because there's always a better option.

Rolex is overpriced like Gucci is and Prada, too bad for Rolex that the entire markets have now corrected. The entire luxury economy is driven by Japanese and Chinese. Their wealth is now gone

Seeing someone care so hard to just impress others makes me legit seethe hard, how can people live like that? Fucking misery existence

>Stop being insufferable and get a Rolex if you want, if you look like shit and such thing doesn't suit your lifestyle you will only look like a joke.
Oh wait now they do, you have to be the right kind of person for a Rolex... you gotta have the right car and shoes for a Rolex? How about Tudor, does that require "paying your dues" somehow too? Or is Rolex special that way?
>>15184499
>And why do I have to care?
You don't, we went over this already. We're talking about people who live in society and communicate with others.

Well, if you pay for Rolex is because you want to indeex flex a jewelry that it is known to be expensive yet it will be pretty pathetic seeing someone working at Mcdonalds with a Rolex, will be consider either fake or that you are just bad with money, either way people will end up laughing at you, but that's the Rolexfag life, same with iToddlers.

What's the deal with not setting up your watch between 9 and 3? Or something

>>15184586
You need to do it when the Big Ben chimes noon, or you will wear it in poor health.

>>15184586
It's for watches with a date mechanism. Watches tend to start moving the date wheel around that time so if you are fucking with it you can end up breaking something.

>>15184586
the gist is, between 9pm and 3am the gears are already engaged to change the date wheel in a mechanical watch.

so if you fuck with it when its in the middle of doing its thing you might damage the gears, misaligned the date, breaking shit inside etc. The chances of it shitting up depends on the movement. thats how i understand it

obv in a quartz watch its perfectly fine

>>15184583
that...looks pretty good for a $12 dollar watch

>>15184581
Affordable yet luxurious.

>>15184594
>obv in a quartz watch its perfectly fine
Nope.

>>15184593
>>15184594
Alright so if I recieve a watch I should wait until it changes the date by itself, otherwise you don't really fucking know if it's either AM or PM right?

If the watch is not running should I wind it up and wait too?

>>15184596
Sir that's a custom 20k Rolex

>>15184602
No, you shouldn't change the *date* between those times (if it has quick-set) , but there's nothing wrong with changing the time (like moving it forward until the date changes).

>>15184598
yea my bad even in a quartz it will shit things up

>>15184602
just do it at like 6am/pm or something, anything outside of the 9-3 zone

-wind the watch up 1st
-then pull the crown out 1 notch and set the date, but
i usually set it to 1 day before the actual date
-then I pull out the crown all the way (2 notches) and manually turning the time myself until the date flips (now on the correct date) so I know its AM or PM depending

if its still confusing just look it up on YT

if it watch comes with a manual it wouldnt hurt to read it too

>>15184610
Oh I see so i could move the time forward and once the date changes I can use the quick set safetly. Thank you!

>>15184542
>>15184561
>>15184571
Ah yeah, it's the same guy as every time. Asks obnoxious questions like this to "own" you, builds up a ridiculous strawman about either rejecting society completely or accepting his twisted, juvenile view of society as both not giving a shit about watches and still placing an incredible value on Rolexes to define a person. You can pretty much tell he doesn't really participate in society, though he might think he's a valued member.

Why do BOCTOKs have such crappy lume?
I'm not expecting some light up the night shit but this is just pathetic.

One of these is shit /wt/ claims, another is reality. Which do you think is which?

what went wrong?

>>15184624
Their watches have such a clean aesthetic that adding anything just fucks up the watch. They are too big for most people. They are insanely overpriced. Honestly Panerai is a castle made of sand and they deserve to get fucked.

You can buy a replacement strap and bezel from casio for ~$20.

>>15184775
Sure, let me know how that works out when they stop making your watch. 20 bucks for something that's just going to wind up the same way in a few years is a waste of time, anyway.

>>15184778
a gshock is like $100,,,in 10 years thats like 0.0000001cents a day

>>15184778
They are cheap plastic watches. If you actually wear a g-shock every day for 5 or 10 years sure it will be disgusting. Most people would just throw it away and buy an new one.

>>15184783
You can also just clean the watch. You can even buy a whole new bezel.

>>15184783
>If you actually wear a g-shock every day for 5 or 10 years sure it will be disgusting
Why? People don't throw out a Rolex after a decade because it has a bit of dirt on it.

Disposability is cancerous. I'd rather have something slightly less comfortable that will survive a bomb blast. I'm sick to death of buying products that are designed to be replaced.

What’s a nice Swiss quartz watch close to 36mm? Aqua Terra?

>>15184801

>>15184800
Then don't buy a $40 plastic watch

>>15184809
There are Casio F91Ws that still work 40 years later. Just because it's plastic doesn't mean it's instantly shit.

>>15184807
Nah too old mannish

>>15184812
They work, but they look like shit. And unlike a metal watch you can't polish it. I'm not saying they are bad watches, I'm wearing a cheap g-shock right now. But I don't plan on passing it down to my kids.

>>15183575
>>15183602
Do you have any experience with their solar quartz?

I like the look of pic related (Citizen Chandler) but i'm not sure about the solar dial.

>>15184823
Citizen solar watches are great. If you are really autistic about it the dial is translucent to let light get through to the solar panel but you won't see it unless you are trying to. As far as reliability and the like I haven't heard any complaints about them.

>>15184823
isnt that their "field watch"? dont think its the chandler because I remember those as being quite different

for the watch in the pic I've seen many get that, from what ive read its excellent

>Why? People don't throw out a Rolex after a decade because it has a bit of dirt on it.
Rolex doesn't collect grime and oil inside of its plastic and it doesn't get shiny and deformed where you touch it. Look at your keyboard, that's how a G-Shock looks in a few weeks of use.

>>15184889
Maybe if your took a shower every few days you wouldn't get burger grease all over your watches.

Thankfully Casios are waterproof

>>15184892
Look at your keyboard.

>>15184823
I've got a Citizen chronograph my mom got me over 10 years ago and it still works perfectly. I've definitely gone through phases of wearing it and leaving it in a shelf but it still keeps really good time. Plus it's got Ti and sapphire which is pretty nice at the price point.

>>15184894
I am, it's clean because I don't have burger fingers.

>>15184894
You do realise that's just because you have garbage ABS keys, right? PBT, which is what any keycap worth owning is made of, doesn't degrade. It doesn't get shiny, it doesn't feel weird, it stays exactly the same from day one to day 10,000.

>>15184894
Poorfag confirmed, you've never used a good keyboard before

>>15184914

>>15184848
From what i understand, Chandler is the oofficial name of the field watch and they have a few differents dials

>>15184619
Real men can see in the dark.

>>15184992
hmm i think citizen's english naming is confusing cos they just have so many watches
like if you type "citizen chandler" into google you get like 50 different watches

its better to just refer to the model code, which is BM8180-03E
same thing goes for seiko, casio etc..gshock has a shit load of watches too

>Seiko
is it pronounced "say-ko", "sai-ko", or "see-ko"?

>>15184478
Lol, only tourists go 5th Avenue. Pure definitely not speaking from experience.

I almost never see people wearing a Rolex. Even in like Tribeca/UES old money rich dudes usually just wear an Apple Watch.

>>15185016
smart watch as a daily, but i'd wager they have an absurdly expensive dress watch tho

>>15185011
say-ko

You can get a used watch from Citizen's JDM The Citizen or chronometer lines for less than 1k. These are beautiful watches with fantastic finishing and ± 5 seconds per year movements. Also the have a perpetual calendar which is a nice bonus. This is probably the ultimate Just Works watch.

>>15183819
How about it has a really nice dial and doesn't look gaudy?

What specs do I need to match between original and replacement to change out the clasp on my stainless steel bracelet? I've seen some chink shitters with milled and otherwise fancy clasps, and I'd quite like to try something better than el cheapo pressed metal.

>>15184987
I did. Your flim-flam about plastics giving dudes boobs is from the same source as tapwater turning the frogs gay (because of contraception pill and menopause HRT and so forth, homeopathic lady piss basically). Yet on the other side of the sheet we don't see poverty-stricken trannies trying to transition by drinking lots of tapwater, or hugging "xenoestrogenic" plastics. If you got a pair of distracting manboobs, it's cos you're either fat or have been getting your trace boob juices from american steroid meat.
>>15184992
This watch is also mentioned in the poorfag guide, but the price is like $100 out of date.
>>15184997

I think it's The CITIZEN AQ1010-54E Eco-Drive.
You can look through the current models on one of those japan export sites ( https://www.japan-onlinestore.com/citizen/AQ1010-54E ). There are a few used ones on eBay and tons of them on Yahoo auctions japan.
Check out some videos on YouTube, they are objectively beautiful watches.

i'm clueless when it comes to buying vintage, so what new/modern watches look the most like a Polerouter?

>>15185036
This

>>15185109
the royal oak at least has a unified language across the dial and bracelet. Its round inner dial framed by a softened pentagon, the lines slowly sharpening into the crisp straight edges of the bracelet that echoes the pattern on the dial. The same applies for the nautilus, the design is consistent. This lange watch just looks like a concept gone bad

Does anyone know anything about Sinn DIAPAL and whether it'll actually last longer between services?

>>15183714
Worse viewing angle and just dumb. Inverse displays are a fad that needs to die.

I love those 80s swatch dials. was it more expensive than new because vintage? I looked up the jellyfish model and the prices were really high even though all the clear plastic was brown on them all because UV.

If you have a rolex but not the rest of this style, you ain't worth shit

>>15183405
The only modern rolex i like is their gold thotmaster with the rubber strap. Interesting how important contrast and colors are for me. Because, despite liking the submariner dial i can't really like the regular sub. Also dislike the hulk. And the one that you posted looks really bad for me, just because it lacks color and fun.

>>15185257
That looks pretty good. I just hate the bezels on the Yacht masters. I think they look cheap. But the pic you posted makes it look better than they do in most photos.

>>15185272
You really don't have to be exorbitantly rich to afford a $5-10k watch dude.

>>15185273
Mostly because normies think it looks like cheap garbage.

>>15185267
Yeah, that thing looks way better in vids than on photos. It grew slowly on me.
Good point. They could have done some more bezel options. I think i'd like the golden one even more if the bezel had some golden, thin border around the numerals, just like the dial. But not sure if it woouldn't look retarded.

>>15185276

so does obsessive rolexfag also only watch movies, listen to music and eat food that gives him clout from normies? Is he some kind of idealized specimen of conformity like Patrick Bateman (but fat/short/ugly), more an amalgamation of shallow ideas shoddily pasted together in a web of hatred and neurosis than a real man?

youre flummoxed because he can spend 10k on something he doesnt really care about but you care about a lot. it happens with a lot of hobbies where guys that really care cant afford the best stuff and some new rich guy buys the best stuff even though hes new and doesn't care much (yet). The shitty part part about collecting in general - and watches specifically - is that there is not a lot of skill component, unless youre hardcore enough to have a network of contacts and memorize ref. numbers and shit. At least with cycling or something you still have the satisfaction of crushing rich newbs on your pos bike lol. honestly, its best not to worry about it and youll probably get to fuck around with it a bit when he gets it so thats cool

Totally this. Another fun fact:
>One of the more surprising facts about Tupac Shakur is that he actually became a member of the “Young Communist League USA.”

https://www.listerious.com/facts-about-tupac-shakur/

So he got indoctrinated pretty damn hard. I guess once he wanted out they got rid of him. I'm willing to bet that they first fed him BS and then involved him deeper in their plans, maybe blackmail with pedoshit. Or this boi diddler chimped and got himself into pedo stuff.

>>15185867
and yet he accomplished more than a hot-pocket-eater like you ever will.
as far as ballet, Baryshnikov was more alpha than anyone in this thread.

>>15185867
Tupac was an educated man among nig-nogs. That's been known since forever, and some would say it's a significant reason for his radio time and consequent popularity around Europe in the 1990s.

It's honestly a bit interesting how, when previously the approach to smartwatches was "cell phone maker downscales cell phone to fit on wrist & need recharging every night", a digital watch maker will take a different approach to that of Apple et cetera.
