Old 1989 Citizen I bought. I think i overpaid for it. (60e + 5eshipping + 12e strap + 15e new glass)
Absolutely in love with this watch.

An old Soviet Slava mechanical winder my grandma gave to me. Really cool watch.

Why would someone pay over 1k for a watch that isn't a rolex?
Serious question.

>>15197500
Cool numerals on this one, they really emphasize it's russian origin.

>>15197506
Because consumer preferences are a thing? And different budgets are a thing? That's like asking "Why would someone pay over 100k for a car that isn't a Ferrari?"

>>15197494

stop splitting the thread you morans

>>15197500

>>15197516
I disagree, there are plenty of cars that can do different things to a ferrari and excel in different areas. Whereas how does pic related compete with a rolex.

>>15197516
>"Why would someone pay over 100k for a car that isn't a Ferrari?"
close, but the real question is "Why would someone pay over 100k for a car that isn't a Porsche?"

>>15197535
Lots of ways. Personal connection, aesthetics, design.

I personally feel a stronger connection to Omega than Rolex because of family reasons. My father owns two Omegas, my granduncle has an Omega. I have cousins that have Omegas, so I just lean towards the brand more.

Also you really are kinda cherry picking when you look at the De Ville line, it's really Omega's least interesting series. I'd really argue that the new Globemaster watches are definitely more interesting than a Dayjust.

Where can I buy a watch band like this, which is wider that the lug size?

>>15197541
No no no, you didn't get what I meant by using Ferrari specifically as the analogy towards Rolex. I used Ferrari specifically because it's the most recognizable 'fancy sports car' to non-car people. Similar to how Rolex is the most recognizable 'fancy luxury watch' to non-watch people.

I agree though, I definitely would get a Porsche over a Ferrari.

Very tasteful. Too bad current citizen watches are way too busy.

First day that really feels like summer here so took out this big boi.

>>15197564
>>15197564
not even in the same galaxy and style, but this is a handwound chronograph, moonphase, and month dial for under....$300

how much do you guys think i could get for a sinn 356 utc that comes with box+strap+bracelet and sinn springbar tool?

everything is in good and working condition and even has some paperwork stating the movement is operating within specs.

>>15197591
Obviously they have a lot that are, like the Navihawk, but Citizen has a huge range and especially over the past year they have made some really classy looking watches. Not to mention the Caliber 0100 look CLEAN.

Literally rolex price of course they're going to look great.

>>15197615
They look better than any Rolex imo

>>15197615
There are some pretty hideous watches that cost more, so price =/= looks.

>>15197600
Return it ahmed. Isn't it ramadan?

>>15197591
they have many minimalist watches...although they are mostly modern style pieces

Except Rolex is more like a BMW/Mercedes.

Looks likw the dial from a Cartier Pasha, never seen one with this pattern on hands though and the movement seems way too plain for a Cartier one. Lume job is also pretty sloppy. Could be one of the very old models

what does this have anything to do with watches?

only 50$ automatic movement, should I pull the trigger bros?

Rate my watch guys. Does it look classy and luxurious, or cringe?

Thoughts?
Looking to buy this one within next two years.

Timex, trying so hard to sound like Rolex

>>15198872
None

>>15198953

Good quality steel strap and clip
Keeps decent time
Wears very large (42mm?) for your bitchboy wrists
Scratches very easy for a 'sapphire' crystal
Doesn't tend to get compliments
Power reserve slowly slips a few hours a day despite being automatic

Decent for the price.

>>15199619
Just Hans Wilsdorf pulling names out if his ass. It was purely for marketing, a name short enough to be remembered and can be pronounced by most languages. Rol maybe comes from the greek roloi, and its derivatives, meaning watch, and ex which is common in product naming

I have the watch in pic related and i really like it but has sentimental value so i can't really use it everyday.
Can someone suggest me a good cheap watch that looks similar?

>>15200467

This is the dumbest shit. Just fucking wear it. Rolex will polish it, replace the crystal etc if you send it in for maintenance.

Can you imagine some ukrainian peasant look at this watch and go "Я нe пoнимaю?"

If you are OK with Chinese shit, Neymar makes a watch that looks similar for about 100 dollars. Date but no day. I forgot the model number but just search for Neymar watches and you will see it.

$120 USD, you should be able to find it at comparable price wherever dubious Chinese watches are sold online in Europe. Probably uses a clone NH35 from Minglong or whatever the non-Seagull Chinese movement maker is called. Their quality control is sloppy but with the increase in quality of machining parts in general in the past 20 years and the bulletproof robustness of the original design, I think there's a good chance this watch will keep time pretty well too.
I think homages are lame but having been to Shitaly recently I know where you're coming from and it would be a shame to lose your dad's watch in such a way so I hope this works out for you.

Name ONE (1) good watch.

>>15200509
You're correct.
Slava happened to be one of the only soviet manufacturers that was allowed to produce things for export and export them.
A lot of them were sent to western countries where the USSR was trying to strengthen its soft power. In the 60s in france they became popular among leftist kids and its not uncommon to see them on flea markets here.

The others all had inscriptions in Russian cyrillic, including those designed to be exported to germany or even China. I think they even had them produced in China at some point and I wonder what they looked like there.

You have to give the new Breitling CEO some credit. Under the old guy it would have been 44mm.

Just looked it up because kinda reminds me of the pp5970.
Honestly for what it is, I though that was going to be way more.

Yes but you can get it on Amazon for 400, which is still overpriced but at least sane

>>15201169
Unfortunately no.

Would a G-shock dw-5600e look good on this wrist? Or a MQ24? This here f91w is my first and only watch.

>>15201275
Get a 5610 it's smaller than the 5600.
Or get a baby-g 560.

>>15201281
Actually i think the 5600 would be fine on your wrist. It's chunky but you won't have crazy amounts of overhang or anything.

>>15201287
Stop being so fucking Italian. It's just some jealous poorfag trying to annoy you.

I guess if it is a quality (niche) watch it will keep its value and maybe even increase in price. Rolex are entry level watches for normies with a bit of money. it's like saying "oh yeah I love music" and your favourite artist is "itunes chart". Anyway, chinamen make replicas that look 99% the same and they cost you 300 dollars, so what's the point of anything.

i think he is referring to this, normally people wear it after their ulna bone (the bump on the side of arm)

but ive seen "serious watch people" wear it like you do as well. Most notably that guy from longislandwatch, that i can remember.

>>15202368
also, its probably bad because will affect movement of hand and place undue stress on the strap, especially leather ones.

>>15202368
I always wear it like the guy on the left, because otherwise it looks like I have literal alien tentacles, my hand and wrist are just oddly shaped.

This is true. Have a scar on my hand from a crown after putting on a watch too loosely and going to party.

Just the opposite, if a girl knows anything at all about watches beyond rolex = good then you should fucking run.

>>15202572
to 99% of women a watch is just a fashion accessory, nothing more.

i would be more concerned about things like whether she can cook and her political views

Chink titanium is not only cheaper, it's objectively better if you aren't looking for the lightest possible watch, in which case, why would you want a resin bracelet anyway?

>>15202751
I see, so what's the upside of resin/combi, just the fact that it won't scratch?

>>15202769
The upside is that it's the best you can get officially without spending 1.5k. It'll still get scratched to shit, but it won't show through as badly as on the black titanium stuff.

Honestly, the weight savings aren't even that impressive. Combi watches are 42 grams heavier than their regular bracelet counterparts, meanwhile the titanium strap is only 57g.

thinking about reversos buds.

>>15202864
>reversos

>>15202799
I'm really afraid of it getting scratched, I don't know, how the fuck can't they produce black metal that doesn't scratch in 2020, how do we not have the technology.

>>15202915

>>15202938
>how the fuck can't they produce black metal that doesn't scratch in 2020

theres no metal that is black by default, but it kinda exists, there is black zirconium. Natural zirconium which is silver can be heated for several hours to create a layer of black oxide that is 8 on the mohs scale, you'll need sapphire or diamond to scratch it.

ive only seen it used in rings so far

the other choice is black rhodium, which is an alloy and has more of a gunmetal look to it.

>>15198899
Depends on how dressy. Post pic.

>>15197726
Eh, if you can't afford a Rolex, why bother? Just buy a Swatch like me. There's no reason to buy a luxury watch except to show off. I look at someone with a Tudor and think . . . no, I KNOW they just cannot afford a Rolex. Don't be foolish. No one is impressed with Tudor or any other less expensive Rolex substitute. A Swatch does the trick.

>>15202993
When Tudor was established it was a cadet line of the Rolex watch. Some of the early Tudors said Rolex Tudor. Tudor is a is good watch but Rolex makes sure that Tudor is never equal or better
than the Rolex line. Price as well as quality were kept difference. Compare the two subs and you will see this right away. During the 1960 when I was young I asked a jeweler about this and he said the Tudor watches were for people who could not afford a Rolex. I never for that. So therefore. The Tudor which is a cadet line of Rolex will always be second to Rolex. As for Omega,
Vacheron Constantin and and other Swiss watches are not cadet line of another company. Today that not so much true since watch groups like swatch share technology. But Tudor started out as
at CADET line. and that mentality is still there. Just compare Rolex to Tudor.

>>15202994
The Tudor Pelagos and BB58 are both better than the Rolex Sub

>>15203021
I would disagree. I have a black bay and feel let down by the quality. Yes it's a good watch but Tudor is way overpriced

>>15203036
Rolex is literally twice as overpriced for only marginally better finishing so you would be let down by that too. Maybe Rolex was always just a huge fucking scam.

Id be putting the sarb on a brown leather strap. thinking about selling pic related eventually since i want more of an everyday watch than something really toolish. mechanical tool watches have kind of lost their luster to me since i just use my gshock for anything heavy duty anyways.

Because the sub defined the dive watch. Sure it wasn't the first or the best but when people think of a dive watch they picture the sub. Much like how the oyster perpetual defined the wrist watch in many ways.
>>15203383
Hoes mad

>>15203383
Don't care about the looks, you could do a Amphibian caseback and gasket in a submariner style watch for all I care. I just want this functionality everywhere.

>>15203388
>the sub defined the dive watch
>the oyster perpetual defined the wrist watch

imagine being this lacking in imagination and taste

>>15203388
>when people think of a dive watch they picture the sub
LMFAO this gets repeated as part of Rolex shilling all the time, yet LITERALLY NO ONE pictures a Sub, 99% of the people don't even know what it looks like. People just picture a giant rubber watch with a rubber strap, most likely digital, like a G-Shock.

>>15203312
I went from a SARB to a Club, the Club is a far better watch.

>>15203360
Is this a mod or some special edition?

Don't go full meme, just get the normal one hander in white or silver sunburst, same watch for literally half the price. Mine ticks pretty loud but otherwise can't complain

>>15203391
Why does the amphibia have a unique caseback design / what makes it unique? I'm unfamiliar

>>15203438
no he is right, the average person doesn't know shit about watches. geeks might picture a sub but watch geeks are a minority of a minority

>>15203425
thx anon. i knew i wanted the club as soon as i typed it out but its nice to get some input nonetheless.
>>15203312
far out man didn't know the 6r15 had issues the way everyone had a shit fit when the new cocktail time came out with a 4r youd think it was a big upgrade. id get an eco drive sport watch if i didnt have a gshock but i still want a mechanical watch. I just watch it to maximize beauty and finishing rather than larp as rugged since there are far better options out there.

>>15203425
>the Club is a far better watch.
It's almost like 2 times the price

Just managed to cop an Oris Carl Brashear Chrono from Chrono24. Original MSRP was $4950, but saw one pre-owned on Chrono24 for $3,000. Managed to talk it down to $2600.

Pretty happy! Should be at my home on Friday. Always really loved bronze watches

>>15202708
this guy is too hairy and veiny for this watch
if you're a man, twink vibes only

>>15203457
word of advice: make sure you turn the bezel a couple times a week. the problem with those bronze bezels is that as the watch oxidizes to get the patina, it can swell/fuse/rust/whatever the bezel to the case if you aren't regularly getting that shit moving. you shouldn't have to worry if you're some autist who's turning the bezel 50 times every morning while you wait for the bus, but in case you aren't...

^explains it pretty well and there's a link to really good watchuseek post in there too.

>tldr; its a two piece caseback that minimizes shearing forces on the gasket when tightened and allows the gasket to compress as the pressure increases

>>15203452
meant for >>15203331

>>15203465
Oh yeah, I was told that. Honestly I was considering cleaning off the patina and starting it fresh, but I kinda like the matte patina on the one I bought. Was pretty surprised to get the watch for $2600 with box+papers+ Original stainless steel buckle and nato strap.

Tho I do think Oris tends to overdo the Limited Editions (This one is out of 2000).

>>15203438
>>15203371

there are bigger brands and microbrands doing different dive watches that arent a sub copy #787833, but i assume they dont sell as well

its sad to see people stuck buying the same narrow kind of watch when theres so much variety in the world of watches. Especially if they are supposed to be "watch fans"

>>15203442
the caseback gets tighter the higher the pressure is. So the deeper you go the more water resistant it gets.Its a very elegant and genius solution.

>>15203479
I agree and I got sick of the bronze watch meme before I ever bought one, but Oris does a good job with their watches anyway.

>>15203484
I feel bad for the boomers who bought a Panerai Bronzo.

Lately, I’ve been loving alot of the new Diver 65s from Oris (The Momotaro collab with a jean strap looks pretty sexy). Grand Seiko is great too, but I’ve been currently looking at Hajime Asaoka (independent watch maker).

Pic is Momotaro Oris

>>15203433
It's the new King Samurai, coming this fall.

>>15203492
Hajime Asaoka (retailed for $3600) but the secondary market the prices spiked. All in house too

>>15203442
>Don't go full meme, just get the normal one hander in white or silver sunburst, same watch for literally half the price.

they have different prices? im in asia so im just looking at poljot to make it easy, its around the same there

>>15203496
Is that a curved minute hand? That's always the mark of a very detail-oriented watchmaker. The two-tone window around the date is incredible too.

>>15203521
Yep. Its the Kurono line from Hajime. He’s one of the better independent watchmakers I’ve seen. Some if his pieces (Tsunami line) are right up with Dufours desu.

>>15203590
eta seem reliable and easy to fix. what do you think are good calibres?

>>15202938
You can, DLC is very scratch-resistant. The problem is the cost.

Honestly, you just live with it. I guess you could try painting in scratches with a sharpie or a small brush if you want to maintain the visual look for longer.

>>15203498
On somewhere like amazon the prices vary quite a bit depending on the model. When I picked up mine (white dial) it was £40, those speedometer style ones go for £80-£90

>>15203492
Momotaro is a based Nip denim company. The pair of momos I bought a decade ago are my favorite pair of jeans ever and I have owned much more expensive Japanese denim.

>>15203591
Well shit, is there a current equivalent? None I've seen are the same (blacked out + red lights).

Also, what is the actual Chinese titanium bracelet/bezel kit, can someone link the product/brand name.

>>15203611

>le meme arrows

Why dont you just off yourself right now since we both know the only reason you didnt do it yet is because you have family

>>15203676
You just go on aliexpress and search for g-shock titanium. Ebay is filled with dropshipper scumbags who double the price for no reason, the funniest thing I saw was some dude selling the bezel screws at a 10x markup, I bought them in a different color for 2 bucks off ali, and they're 20 bucks on ebay for a pack of 4 tiny screws.

I'm pretty sure there's only one current model of the titanium stuff, I haven't seen any revisions. Maybe one day they'll do a DLC version, but that'd be almost impossible to find because all the chinks would just pretend they didn't have the old IP version.

the problem is those sellers dont deliver to my country. And i like the speedo one also because it has a small display caseback, the regular ones dont

hows the wear on your watch? the plating holding up well so far? any major issues?

what's everyone's yardwork wear?

>>15203759
Might as well make your own design and buy the same movement for 200 bucks, instead of getting one designed by some japanese guy for 3600

what's your guys' yardwork wear?

>>15203757
give me the (you) I deserve it you obese american retard

Why do people still hate Fossil?
they are frankly not as bad as most of the fashion brands

they -have- automatic watches at under $250.

whats the difference between them and another "poor value" brand like Timex? the latter sells quartz watches (in brass mind you) at $200+

I want to get a watch repaired but the watch repair place is closed due to COVID quarantine. Anyone else know my pain?

>>15202538
Middle Classers (almost all the online watch community) who feel the need to protect Rolex just boggle my mind

>>15203864
They won't do business by mail?

>>15203876
Poorfags (almost all of the online watch community) constant attempts to convince themselves that they don't really want a Rolex is one of the most blatant cases of sour grapes I have ever observed.

>>15202993
I own a Rolex and also own a vintage Seiko Pogue. People have really only commented on the seiko.

Y’all spend way too much time on forums if you think normies care about your watch at all.

>>15203853
nice

>>15203408
I fucking hate internet watch people. People that aren’t into watches have no fucking idea about watches or even what classic Rolex models look like. They know the name “Rolex” thats it’s. Their impression is that they cost a lot of money. That’s it.

Why are people so autistic about “in-house”? Other than they read it was good in a forum and just parrot it as their own opinion

>>15203893
But I own one?

>>15203893
I don’t think you understand how to interpret words in context

>>15203934
They believe if it was made in-house they're getting more value when in-house doesn't mean better and doesn't even have a clear meaning.

>>15203864
Check their social media, or call, they might have some kind of workaround system in place while closed.

>>15203934
because how can [X brand] justify their luxury pricing when they dont make their own movements

>>15203986
So then why isn't Grand Seiko the king of watches?

How do i keep my wrist from smelling funny after wearing a watch all day

>>15203994
Rolex had the best marketing

>he doesn't own a niga watch

>>15203994
because prejudices and perception "seiko is just the poorfag brand"

in reality seiko has achieved more than any other. No one actually cares about ultra luxury watch brands, they exist in their own bubble and are outside of 99% of watch wearers.

I can only assume they don’t interact with people in real life.

>>15203452
No worries, post it if you get one.
>>15203454
It's 10x better. They say that around 90% of each watch is made in Glashütte, I think the cases & hairsprings are made in Switzerland & the straps are American shell cordovan leather.
The later SARBs were made in Malaysia.
