just use ur phone lol

Rolex

>>15220935
I know you're meming but I find it so retarded when people say that. Using your phone as a watch is literally a step back in technology. Wrist watches were invented for a reason.

>>15220954
So were 5 cent hyper-accurate quartz movements

how do you guys feel about coin watches

cool or cringe?

>>15221024
extreme cringe

Helium molecules are so small they can get their way through just about any material given enough time

New Teddy video is bretty gud

My favorite Seiko design. It’s a pity their newest version is so boring

>>15221055
they basically killed the monster. fucking stupid cyclops, removing the unique super industrial crown guard system, backing away from the aggressive shark tooth indices of the gen2, and finally replacing the extreme revolver barrel bezel for a more conventional one. btw the price quadrupled
worst thing japs have done since pearl harbor

>>15221067
kek this. i was thinking about selling my orange gen 2 but now i really dont want to. still want a tuna tho and that kind of fills the same niche

>>15221024
I like it, but I like kitschy stuff

Sup /fa/??
Today is vintage sunday for me. Old pic, tough.

>>15221082
I’ll buy the orange gen 2

>>15221110
That dial is fantastic!
That ring not so much…

Post some dress watches.

>>15221257

>>15221265
HOMOS really needs to bring the cost of this down. it's a niche, bare bones watch that isn't even built to high specifications or anything. these would sell well at 1100 but they sell them at 2000-3000 where they're competing with clubs.

Does anybody have the comparison picture of the various high end movements ready? Cant find it anymore.

It's a Bulova

>>15221344
You mean this?

>>15221356
now post grand seiko/credor finishing
literally dufour tier and swiss pussies still think they can talk shit

>>15221364
Sure.

May as well post this too while I'm at it.

I bought the all-metal Casio G Shock in gold. pic related.

I know it looks blingy but it wears really nicely, just a fun watch. I wear it out to the clubs or raves when I go, or some times when I used to watch sports with friends. But now lockdown has killed all of that I actually dont even mind wearing this just walking around.

>>15221082
buy both?

>>15221284
all these trolls on wt, they would get wrenched right away on the stream.

>>15221378
>>15221373
So what the fuck am I paying the Swiss so much money for?

>>15221402
Good question. As far as I can tell though the nips have this whole 'exceptional finishing at (relatively) reasonable pricepoints' thing down rather handily.

>>15221386

It's the second best Gshock. The best of course is the regular GW5610.

>>15221111
nice quads. how much?
>>15221392
might. id have to try a tuna on first. here they where well but its still fuckhuge.

>>15221373
on this note, what do people feel about GS putting a display back, but then covering most of the movement anyways? kinda feels like theyre hiding something and looks a bit boring IMO

>>15221186
What do you think of it? Anything obviously janky about it?

>>15221427
my bro has that one haha

>>15221402
for that five letter, duh

>>15221438
I'm actually not a fan of display casebacks. I'd rather a nice engraved caseback. Like some of those classic GS watches with an engraved gold lion medallion are totally fucking sick and something like that is much cooler than what they did for the Godzilla GS where they had a display back but then it's covered by a giant black drawing of Godzilla which is not very visible because of the glass... the worst of both worlds

>>15221438
Don't particularly mind myself. ALS's movements are mostly taken up by the three quarter plate too, unless it has some other complications going on.

>>15221373
>>15221356
This lacks FPJ awesome finishing, even above PP and GS, and on par with A.L.&S.

>>15221445
lange is super old school german autism. its all about the baroque engraving and gold chatons and such. the fuckers originally covered all that shit up with a solid caseback it was only when people complained that they couldnt see the movement that they put on sapphire casebacks

>>15221450
I do like the barleycorn guilloche he puts on his movements.

>>15221364
>literally dufour tier
Dufour taught them how to do it.

>>15221461
HNNNNNGGG

>>15221468
... which is based. doesnt take anything away from dufour at all

>>15221468
I assume that's what that anon was alluding to, yes.

>>15221453
Pretty based to be honest. ALS also puts in the same quality of finishing (anglage, hand engraving, etc) on all their movements whether it's an entry level piece or a 6-figure pricetag supercomplication. Something that can't be said of patek, for example.

>>15221276
nomos clubs? or some other club? i really like the tetra but i do agree that the price doesnt seem to jive with the rest of their lineup. maybe im missing something

>>15221442
>Like some of those classic GS watches with an engraved gold lion medallion are totally fucking sick
completely agree. would much rather see the medallions come back.

>>15221461
this looks pretty incredible

>>15221479
yeah i agree. id rather have a lange than a modern patek desu. lange are still young enough to have their vision and autism undiluted by marketing, hype and legacy. it wont be that way forever but right now theyre still the new kid on the block in that market segment and it seems that they still have something to prove

>>15221284
>he's into Made in the USA clothing?
The whole "Made in" is just a big meme.

>>15221356
Thank you but this is not quite it, there were more brands included, like 8 or 10 pictures altogether.

>>15221461
I hope that he replaces it with other clean watch, since he discontinued the cb people are asking 2x + the retail value.

>>15221505
>he discontinued the cb
Really? That sucks.

>>15221353
that's a sweet pic of the underside of a lamp.
do you have a watch you would like to share with us?

kanji date wheels are kewl

>>15221439
The bezel, its not properly aligned, its 90 click, it has backplay.

Bracelet and the saphire glass are nice. and the movement has hacking. and the best thing, mine runs max +5 a day.

>>15221344

This is the one

>>15221461
>>15221505

New watch, fagging out harder today on it than yesterday.

>>15221120

Yes, I work part time at an AD while finishing my post grad.

My boss is a great guy and hooked it up

>>15221531
Why would he discontinue it? This is the best looking watch FP Journe makes, by a crazy degree. FP Journe watches are amazingly overrated. They have the most beautiful movement finishing in the entire industry but the dials often look like crap.

>>15221122
oh, this is why Omega lost the crown

>>15221535
have you ever noticed Mr. Journe is extremely autistic?

probably broweses /wt/ for all we know

>>15221543

>>15221509
>>15221535
Pretty much, he's slowing down the production and has an endless waiting list.
In theory still in production but only for seriously big boys.
Is going to be his Dufour simplicity, is not "discontinued", but is never going to fulfill the 8-10 years waiting list nor take new orders.

>>15221535
By discontinue it, they add scarcity to the already sought after and greately desired watch; making it and absolut icon, like the original Nautilus, the Calatrava, the Lange One, the Royal Oak, the Classique, Primero, etc...

>>15221559
That's too bad. Was vaguely hoping that someday years from now whenever I had enough spare cash to foolishly drop on a watch it'd be a chronometre bleu.

>>15221531

>>15221522
And to think the Vostok one is actually oiled with the finest vodka.

>>15221378
I forgot which maker it was, but watchfinder had a vid of some highly priced SWISS MADE watch, and the highly polished hour hand reflected the underside of the seconds, which looked like it was just a raw stamped piece of shit. Also unacceptable paint work and fuzzy hands in general.

>>15221653
Grand Seiko has examples of exactly that too, they've been posted in previous threads.

>>15221398
They probably wear Tudors and have Rolex steel sports in a safe for "investing".

>>15221378
>second hand isn't even properly centered even on the Seiko
When are we going to get robot watch makers who don't make these amateur hour micrometer level mistakes?

>>15221373
I don't believe that pic is real. Even if it is i don't believe they do that for every single watch. I'm sure they just make the review samples perfect and make the everyday watches as cheaply as they can.

>>15221684
They make 20 of those watches a year, they do it for every single watch.

>>15221684
OK retard
They have exhibition casebacks so everyone who buys or even looks at these watches can easily see if their watch meets the standard or not. Also these watches are assembled by a tiny group of people who are among the most skilled in their craft in the entire world and they each make a single part of the watch and do the work on 1 watch per day with QC each step of the way. There's like 5 people who can paint numbers on the dials and each one trained for like two years even after being selected for the job.
Grand Seiko is incredible in what they offer for the price. Rolex is in the same price bracket and they make mass produced shitters.

Damn I'm struggling to pick a VOSTOK

So many to choose from

The more I look at them, the worse they are starting to look lol

>autists discussing $30000 watches

might as well talk about Ferraris

>>15221692
Get the ugliest one you can find. Vostoks aren't meant to be beautiful.

thoughts? Bout to cop.

>>15221692
Consider modifying it or look at an SE. I would definitely swap out the hands on a vostok to an aftermarket set. One second closer and raffle times have good options, OSC also has a large array of bezels and bezel inserts to choose from. Personally I got a 170 GMT because I feel like I won't want to modify that watch, it's nice as is.

>>15221720

>>15221684
The credor eichi II is not an "every day" watch. It's a $50k platinum piece that's hand made. The micro art studio puts out very few watches per year. So yes, they all look like that.

Who else preordering one tomorrow?

>>15221772
Minute hand too long hour hand too short

What's a respectable tool/everyday watch below 10k to wear after 35 that isn't a Rolex (or a G-Shock)?

>>15221720
You can do better.

>>15221787
Rolex

>>15221782
Maybe. Seems like the hour hand was made to only just reach the longer indices.

>>15221791
If the indices are going to be that long the hour hand should overlap them slightly. These are the kinks of compromises you make when you buy from microbrands that cant actually manufacturer things themselves or meaningfully modify existing movements / parts to their specific needs.

>>15221791
>>15221772
Yeah I don't like this. I think Seaforths look better.

>>15221797
I guess the designer just didn't want an overlap.

>>15221485
That's not an awful idea, make an 8LXX presage with the medallion again

>>15221787
To poor for patek, to cool for rolex, is getting the approval of reddit nerds what you consider acceptable for a man over the age of 35 to wear? Grand seiko. Otherwise whatever vacheron constantin of F.P. Jorne you can afford, maybe Nomos if you are in to that kind of thing.

>>15221799
>Seaforth
It is nice, wish it came on a bracelet though.

>>15221800
No there isn't enough clearance for the hour hand to overlap you can see it clearly in this pic.
>>15221791
This is what happens when you are stuck with off the shelf movements.

I need some suggestions on a few things, when I bought this watch it had an odd yellow rust all over the case along with all sort of dents like in the first pic from left, I managed to remove most of the rust and dents on the left side and the ring arround the crystal (theres still polishing to be done) and I need sugestions on straps because the one it came with is really bad, I feel like none of the 18mm straps I have lying arround looks good on it so if you have straps suggestions or inspo pics for a vintage chrono like this it would be great.
The other thing, the reason I feel that no strap looks good on it may be because the dial looks pretty busted which leads me to my second doubt, can a normal watchmaker clean the dial to some extent or do I have to take the watch to some company specialized on restoring watches?

>>15221892
Fuck me did you exhume your dad and pull it out of his skeletal asshole?

>>15221892
Green goes well with gold. I like the centre strap

>>15221892
I think they just carefully try a swab with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide

>>15221920
No, I did bought it from an old guy tho, and it looks like he had it stored inside a humid place or something for the dial to end like this.
I'm not worried about the case much, I'm no expert but I can polish most of the rust and dents it came with so it can look like a mirror on some places.The small corners are hard to do but I just need some time. The dial is my only problem for now as I can just replace the crystal if it ends up looking too scratched.

>>15221921

>>15222024
Thanks. I did some limited research beforehand and was aware of potential issues but the AD was offering a good discount so I went for it. It is overpriced for what it offers but the design is so unique in the current watch trends and I didn't want to be another victim to luxury dive watches or speedmaster.

>>15222193
because ((( )))

>>15222208
Was there another limited run? This one is original sized as far as I know at 36mm, limited to 1957 pieces. Probably won't be selling out anytime soon because no one cares about Rado outside of Asia.

Please tell me this is only bordering on being too big. I love the 6900 case and it finally arrived the other day.

What's stopping tudor from sticking the MT5402 in a ranger and making it ~36mm? Is there just not enough interest in the ranger?

Am I really going to be seen a big fat phony now guys? I'm not trying to deceive anyone, I just like how it looks and I cannot justify spending a shit ton of money when I can get 95% of the watch for 1/40th of the price.

>>15222413
>I'm not trying to deceive anyone
Then why didn't you just get a homage you flaming homosexual

>>15222413
You already started with trying to deceive yourself.

>>15222248

No one cares.

>>15222437

I fell for the poo in loo watches from ebay and then got rid of it here where I live, where I traded it for other vintage but swiss watch.

>>15222652
The camo ones are kind of cool but camo anything is the least versatile shit you can get and even if you can pull it off like being an actual military guy or a hunter, you will still wish you had a more neutral watch very often. Any of the four on the second row are the best, or the two carbon fiber ones if you think carbon fiber is incredibly sexy and you can't resist it.

>>15222652
The whole second row are the best ones. Also the camo one.
Not sure how pricing compares but you should also consider one of the new gravity masters. GWR-B1000-1A

>>15222652
The silver one with red highlights for me, personally.

>>15222652
The 2 middles ones in the second row are my favorite

>>15222666
Been eyeing on that one too cuz I have stick wrists. I just love how it looks and the lume seems nice on the 1A variant, but I keep hearing they're uncomfortable because of the strap.

>>15222695
>but I keep hearing they're uncomfortable because of the strap.
That sucks, it's too bad there are so few places you can go to actually try on the higher end g-shocks.

1.Which one would get based on features
2.Which one would you get based on looks alone
I'm really interested in one of the analog ones but not sure which. I'm leaning hard towards the 2 right ones. The digital one looks ugly and the 2nd from the left is alrightish.

>>15222705
the digital one is the best one there, retard

>>15222713
Subjective, eat a dick.

>>15222715
no faggot you eat the dick. these are supposed to be futuristic cyberpunk watches, the ones with hands make no sense along that theme and the digital one is a classic design with the minimum useful features. the others are clownish with their short hands and gigantic black indices on dark blue dials. the second from the left might be acceptable just because it looks like pure 90s cheese. if you pick the two on the right you're a sucker.

>>15220960
And if you want to buy a watch with one of those no one is stopping you. If you have nothing else to say, go shit up someone else's thread.

>>15222722
Suck my balls you fucking autist.

>>15222722
Okay nerd.

Thoughts on the gshock carbon core ga2000 series?

>>15222740
Go for the ga2100 casioak.

>>15222746
Why?

>>15222740
It's cool but with a lot of first iterations into new technology it's got some issues. I can't actually remember what the issues are offhand though.

>>15222705
I don't really like any of them. If i was buying one for myself I would get the digital, if I had to pick an analog I would pick the far right. The dial on the third from left is the most interesting with the cool digital seconds counter but the hands are comically small.

>>15222610
i own several counterfeit watches

>>15222740
Go for something from the gst-b200 series instead. I really hate the G-shocks with the big spinning plastic wheel on the dial to indicate the mode.

>>15222766
The big spinning plastic is the coolest part

>>15222740
It's okay, could've been better. I thought I'll set a precedent of giving g-shocks standard lugs, but they continue to release new ones with the usual g-shock lugs/proprietary straps.

>>15222767
you could get a mudmaster if you like the big spinning thing so much

not cringe but I'd sell it and get something cheaper until you can more easily afford it

>>15222803
I try to limit myself to 3 watches max

>>15222652
Why is the whole fucking G-shock range aside from the squares so insanely garish? I get it, the watches need to be a bit chunky for "muh 10m drop resistance", but I hate the whole design philosophy.

I'm just glad most of these abominations are ana-digi trash.

>>15222837
I know, and its not even the good looking one that happens after sun exposure, it looks like it was moist at some point. I wish there was an easy work arround it like the case, the metal is very forgiving when it comes to polishing, but I'm afraid of erasing the ink of the dial if I were to put alcohol or even water on it like most youtube videos on the topic, and I'm not sure if I can trust my local watchmakers with the job either.

What's this bezel for?

>>15221684
>i don't believe they do that for every single watch
They do.

Micro Artist Studio is just a handful of people and they're all turbo-autistic watchmakers that rose through the ranks of the biggest watch company in the world to reach that position.
They only put out around 30 watches per year. That's fewer than Voutilainen.

Just look at these absolute madmen.

>>15222889
The ones at the back looks chill, so does the bald in the middle, the front ones looks top autismo tho.

>>15220923 No fashion watches please. Go find out about automatic watch movements (ETA, Seiko/Epson movements) before buying your next watch.

>>15222970
I think it's too big, but if the size works for you then it's certainly a decent cheap watch.

>>15222970
the orient logo is absolutely hideous. aside from that, it seems like a pretty neat watch

so far the only thing holding me up from getting this watch is the style. i love how it looks, but how do you suppose such a watch will suit my mostly casual lifestyle? im not so sure i see myself wearing it that often

>>15223023
Because your favorite rapper wears it. Get your own taste.

>>15222970
Looks like a weird mashup of a field watch and a dress watch to me, but if you like it then go for it

>>15223045
i might be a sheep but i genuinely like the way it looks

>>15223042
Get a hked

>>15223050
thats not the point. i just dont see myself wearing a watch with a polished case casually. by no means is the seagull 1963 a dress watch, but most days i wear a t-shirt or hoodie and jeans or something. would my choice of strap help dress down the watch at all?

>>15223042
>i love how it looks, but how do you suppose such a watch will suit my mostly casual lifestyle? im not so sure i see myself wearing it that often
It will go with pretty much anything. There is no reason you couldn't wear it as an everyday watch if you like it.

>>15223054
It's polished but it's not really flashy at all. I don't see why you couldn't wear it with a hoodie and jeans. But if your worried you won't want to wear it you probably shouldn't buy it.

>>15223054
>>15223042
its not a dressy looking watch, it was a pilots watch that looks more like a field watch, along with the green nato that it comes with. Its very casual looking tbqh

>>15222879
How much did you pay for the watch? how rare or heritage-y is it?
I'd just try it out at a tiny spot first. If you fuck up, or if it doesn't work, it'll just add to the patina. It's not like it could be much worse anyways.

>>15222970
Is that just the photo or is the main dial off center?
Apart from that (and the fuckhuge logo), I quite like it!

>>15223058
>>15223065
>>15223067
thanks for the input. sometimes when i look at a watch, i get sucked into the watch itself and dont consider it from a fashion perspective

>>15223042
Get the domed plastic "crystal" one. Those fuckhuge metal bezels just ruin the whole atch.

>>15223080
yup

>>15223041
>>15223073
They unfuck the logo somewhat in the second version, and theres also second hacking, so I might buy this version. Thanks anons.

>>15223086
I like this more than the first version.

how come i don't see more steinharts here?

This to be honest

>>15223098
This is pretty based

>>15222440
Everyone knows what a Rolex looks like. Omega, of course not.

>>15222267

>>15222705
None of them.

>>15222770
The mudmaster doesn't have it and it's way more expensive. You're sounding a bit butthurt to be honest.

>>15222756
What new technology? It's only the carbon casing that's new. Not the first ana-digi gshock.

>>15223158
Why are you shilling this watch?

>>15223222
To counter the Chink chrono shilling, maybe? Last week pic related was shilled all the time, but had no competitor in its shilling, so the shilling was rather low quality.
Now with competing shilling, the market will sort it out.

why the fuck has /wt/ turned into /gshock/?

any other watches with this aesthetic that aren't $40k+
the resell value of these is just ridiculous

>>15223273
Because Vostokchads have better things to do.

If you don't got this watch we can't beef. Me and you not in the same bracket. At all.

>>15223278
What is this thing trying to do? Giving kinda art-deco vibes. But that fuckhuge bezel is a big nope from me. If you're going retro-style, you gotta give it some domed plastic.

>>15221836
power reserves are always ugly. yes even on GS models

Any canada bros wanna help me out? Wanna buy nato straps, but everywhere is in usd or the euro. Getting shafted on exchange rate and shipping isnt fun. Is amazon chink shit my only option?

>>15223304
why even bother with anywhere else except aliexpress? they even have high quality seatbelt nato for like $9. If you want the basic kind its only $1.50.

>>15223306
>If you want the basic kind its only $1.50.
I have a set of those in the mail since forever. Really more curious now if they'll actually arive, instead of the original question "are they actually good (enough)?"

>>15222652
stainless steel fa sho... no one will be able to tell the difference between black metal and black plastic. ss just looks exotic as fuck

>>15223306
They don't do PayPal, or alt least didn't last time I tried. I'll try them again, but I don't wanna buy chink shit. I was hoping for a local manufacturer or one in the state's that's cheap. I hate buying Chinese made shit

>>15223324
>They don't do PayPal
Just use your credit card. Aliexpress buyer protection is quite good anyways
>I hate buying Chinese made shit
lol, good luck with that, pal!

>>15223314
aliexpress items take at least 1-2 months to arrive, this is the compromise for free shipping.

if they dont just open a dispute, you will get money back every single time. The customer protection is really very nice. Out of the hundreds of things ive bought on AE about <10% of them get lost or turn up like 3 months later...

but of course you can pay for premium shipping...

>>15223324
if you want "western made" it would be at least 4-5x the price. And theres no guarantee it isnt still manufactured in the middle kingdom.

>>15223288
Do you also sing from the diaphragm a lot?

>>15223337
>aliexpress items take at least 1-2 months to arrive, this is the compromise for free shipping.
Oh, I know. But normally it's much quicker to my place. I always order a bunch of things when they have a "sale" and I manage to snag some good coupons (because only then you can actually save some money) and so far, there has always been at least one package getting here in 2-3 weeks and the rest following in in under 5, but so far: nothing. Plus, tracking is even more useless than usual. Corona really fucked international airfreight. Hard.

>>15223338
Yes.

That's a yikes from me.

How much is the cheapest Submariner that doesn't have the retarded huge lugs that the new ones have?

>>15223260
But why that specific gshock? What's so special about it?

>>15223496
If you have to ask that question then you most likely are not going to be able to get one anytime soon.

>>15223497
not him but it's the hot g-shock at the moment because it looks like the audemars pigay royal joke, it's very normal and simple looking compared to the more aggressive styling of traditional g-shocks, and it's really thin at 11mm.
basically g-shock for people who don't like g-shock

>>15223054
Holy fuck your as fussy as my wife, hked has brushed top and polish sides like every sports watch ever, put it on a nato or casual strap. It has a field watch dial, red chrono secs, not that dressy.

Your over thinking it, buy it if you like it. Any watch is a dress watch in this age. I wear it with Jean's and a hoodie.

>>15223288
But will you start a family tradition?

>>15223535
Just threw out a few old economists that have been accumulating at the toilet, and I gotta say, of all the overpriced new divers, the 50 fantoms is my favorite!

>>15223537
But ironically, I'm actually a geologist working in climate science (and do mountaineering as a hobby), so how do I get my free Rolex?

>>15223473
not the green one

>>15223539
But it would seriously be funny to have to write
>This work was funded by Rolex
into the acknowledgements of some paper, or to have the rolex logo on some conference presentation.
I don't even need much. They could just give me some ratty old ass piece they've left somewhere in their basement and I'd be happy. Don't really dig the new maxicases.

>>15223522
Nice dubs. Should have posted something funnier for those trips.
Oh well, so let's see if I waste those dubs to make up for it.

>>15223528
being fussy is my specialty

>>15222525
Yes, I'm.

Thoughts on moon phase?

>>15223550
It's completely pointless but there is an inherent romance to it unrivaled by any other complication.

>>15223550
Has no use for 99.99% of the folks wearing one but looks cool and the tech behind it is quite impressive. If you've got a fit to pull it off, go for it.

>>15223553
>the tech behind it is quite impressive.
That is assuming it's combined with a perpetual calendar. I don't know why I just assumed that.

>>15223553
Is that fit a set of striped pajamas with matching nightcap cause that watch is comfy as fuck

>>15223550
Based alternative to calendar

>>15222610
I bought a Dan Henry. I’ve kept it as a reminder and cautionary tale never to buy a meme shit again

>>15223550
Less impressive than a period calendar, to be sure.

I generally like the design of chronos but having that giant chrono hand sitting there at the 12 is just absurd to me. I don’t know why manufacturers don’t make chronos without the chrono hand? Surely I’m not alone in this.

>>15223273
because /g/ doesn't allow watch threads anymore

>>15223646
why would they not want the thing doing the chronographing to be the most prominent feature? I guess a solution would be to have some kind of activation step so the seconds hand is running normally and then you press a button and it locks at 12 in timing mode, then you press it again to start timing, but that would add complexity that most people don't want or need

>>15223646
>chronos without the chrono hand
...Watches?

>>15223655
Well they can do what they want really, as long as they don’t come crying to me when they go bankrupt because I didn’t buy the chronograph model.

>>15223657
Watches with those inner watches that do other things, yeah.

>>15223537
>50 fantoms
wow, cool. the most I've ever seen is two fantoms!

>>15222610
I own 20 microbrand shitters and only wear like 5 of them and I just can't stop

>>15223704
lol

How goes the postal service delay, my good shitterfriends? As for me, it's 24 days in transit, most of which in a warehouse in Shenzhen. The things I put up with for that sweet sweet perlative ceronometer.

>>15223668
So you want a chrono with central running seconds? I imagine someone makes those but the chrono seconds would be pretty hard to read. What you're looking for is a vertical clutch, flyback chronograph ($$$). The vertical clutch will allow you to run the chrono all the time, effectively giving you central seconds, and when you want to time something you use the flyback feature to reset while running.

>>15223552
>It's completely pointless but there is an inherent romance to it unrivaled by any other complication.
That was a very elegant way of putting it.

>>15223468
They invented it, Rolex perfected it :^)

I'm really depressed over this Rolex thing, I wanted to get into this hobby but it's so fucking expensive and I don't even like Rolex. It feels like for every watch that isn't a Rolex, you have to have a Rolex to "cover" for it. Sucks being poor I guess.

>>15223821
This thing of having to go on a list at the AD, is that a worldwide thing or just in Amerikkka? I’d like to buy an Explorer at one of the dealers here in Copenhagen, but would I have to buy some other shitter first and then wait six to twelve months?

>>15223042
I'm considering the same watch but some people say there is a risk of getting a fake so I'm unsure now. Where are you planning on ordering from?

>>15223821
It's just watches bud. You got to get what you like and can afford bit try not to buy a bunch of shotters all at once. Even if you never get a really nice watch (not sure I will desu) make sure the watches you do get are carefully selected and something you really enjoy. Same with collecting anything really. The joy is the hunt not the catch

>>15223835
It's actually worse in places that are not America.
I heard a story about some absolute mong who was forced to buy bundled watches. "Yeah we'll sell you that Rolex at normal price BUT only if you buy another watch from among these expensive brands, with no discount"
And watchfags are so cucked they actually do it.

>>15223835
I'm from a small Eastern European country and it's much worse because the dealers get less watches and they're all bought by rich tourists, no chance of getting one if you're not a politician/mafioso, you pretty much have to go to Germany to try and get one.

>>15223845
That is pretty cucked. I already feel cucked just from wanting a Rolex, but I do have some dignity left, so I’ll definitely rather go without than dance to their tune.

>>15223840
But I don't even want a really nice watch, I would be perfectly happy with a sub-Rolex tier watch if it weren't for the "you're into watches and you don't even have a Rolex?" loser stigma.

>>15223668
>Watches with those inner watches that do other things, yeah.
Say no more! I got just the thing for you!

>>15223852
>"you're into watches and you don't even have a Rolex?" loser stigma.
I thought that was just a meme because it's funny. I see a major gap between what I see on here and what I see in reality. Honestly I'd be almost embarrassed going to work with a Rolex because I feel people would think I was an idiot for spending that much on a watch. And I work in fintech.

Rolex LARPers are here. Head on over to…

This. I'd rather have something more discreet that satisfies my autism and doesnt call attention from random people except to say that it looks nice once in while. I'll need out with watch guys if they bring it up tho (not often but I know some dude with nice collection s)

I love Tudors but imagine paying over 2k for this and just getting something looks exactly like a $50 nixon/mallcore watch.

Hadn't even considered it, I didn't find out that was an option until all the individual parts had arrived. I may do that at some point.

Is right now the time to buy a pre-owned Rolex Day-Date? Will prices further bottom out due to the virus? Enlighten me, anons.

>>15224773
wow, that came together really nicely.
did you decide to not stamp and dye the strap or just haven't yet?

>>15223473
i hate this

its a splice between a sub and semenmaster

>>15223646
Actually Damasko has a chronograph you might want

>>15225382
Thanks, I'm happy with the end result. I'm still waiting on the stamp and leather to arrive, I'll probably make a set of straps just to see how they look.

>>15223473
None of those.
One of these is much better.

>>15224782
Or the same dial with no date would be ideal.

>>15225672
Nah I like day/date complications and a lumed kanji date dial would be incredible
