If you were to do the GA2100 metal case mod, which of these 3 faces would you choose?

This thread is about the appreciation of watches and their design, their history, and the engineering and materials that are required to make a functioning timepiece.

I have to make this post about fake watches. It's crazy how replicas have dedicated communities. How could anyone unless they are morally corrupt or with brain haemorrhaging buy a fake watch. They must understand that they are contributing to an illegal business or organisation that probably has their hands in child trafficking, drug trafficking, prostitution or other things? Why would you support people who are literally killing others, just to satisfy your sickeningly pathetic desire to fool people into believing you own a certain brand? Why not just work harder or just settle with a homage?

indirectly yes. you must have no clue how expensive it is to produce many high quality and thorough fake watches. these are not done by small time criminals who only murder people for their wallet and scam elderly on the side, no. it's done by huge criminal organisations who smuggled in the heroin your mom smoked when she was pregnant with you.

It's a rating of how precise the watch is. The watch gets tested and recieves a rating. For example a watch with constant -4 to +6 seconds of variation per day would get a chronometer rating.

How does that even work?
I assume they get the movement from a reseller or something, because Seiko probably wouldn't want to sell their movements to someone ripping of their designs. But even then, they must certainly know who of their distributors is selling their movements to "hommage" makers? To me, it seems like most of their movements end up in such watches.

Is the movement in the 36mm seamaster 300 any good? Or is it just some afterthought they tossed in there because they had it sitting around? Does it have all the features that make the movement in the large seamenmasters good?

I'm guessing a decent amount of chink clone watches with nh-35 movements have Chinese fake/clone/copies of the nh-35 movement and not authentic ones from seiko. The Chinese definitely make plenty of clone/fake ETA movements. Then again I bet you can buy nh-35s in bulk for a few dollars a piece so maybe it's easier to just buy them. It's not exactly an expensive or exclusive movement. I actually can't believe that seiko puts it in $500 watches considering they probably cost seiko a few dollars to make.

I have posted at least 3 wristshots or so of mine.
Dude, you're asking very specific questions about this shitter since months. Either get it, or don't.
You know all about it there is to know!
It's good looking, it's well made, it's a cheap shitter with a spelling error, it's got heritage, but questionable.
And 14mm is a good average. Sides of the chrystal are about 13mm, middle is 15.something, but I've got the domed sapphire, so the other versions might indeed be exactly 14mm.

you guys have at least one fake nautilus right? you HAVE to have one even if you don't like them. i swear to god ever since I got my fake nautlius I've been getting all kinds of attention from women I otherwise never would've. obviously I can't wear the thing with the hoodie and sweatpants that I normally wear every day so I invested in the kind of business casual clothes that real nautilus owners would wear out on a weekend. since the lockdowns were lifted at i noticed at 6 people eyeing the watch. they weren't crooks or fiending to steal it, they were your average business type people and 3 attractive women in the late 20s, one of which said verbatim "omg is that a nautilus". my face got red and i diverted my eyes to the floor because i'm not used to eye contact with drop dead gorgeous blondes. i said "yeah" under my breath then got off at the next metro stop even though it wasn't my stop. i was just so overwhelmed by the attention i needed a breather. the watch has given me so much confidence in the last couple of days its unreal. i feel superhuman. i don't walk like the incel cartoon guy anymore. i unironically walk with my chest to the world. i never realized you could feel this way as a poorfag loser. a high quality fake nautilus is around 300-400 USD. its honestly worth the price considering how transformative it is. you'll nevre get called out because the high quality fakes are so good they fool everyone that doesn't have a microscope or other autistic watch-instruments like that. the display caseback is even decorated down to the smallest detail to mimic the real thing. seriously you guys, if you want to sleep with women in their mid to late 20s who are on the prowl for rich men to hunker down with before their ovaries expire then get a fake nautilus. there's an endless supply of these types of women and they literally spend their entire commutes eyeing the wrists of single men to figure out if they're rich enough to be suitable partners.

I hated them but they grew on me. Mostly because they have a rubber version. But the rubber ones are missing the lines beneath the dot indices and it looks sterile as fuck.
Wouldn't pay 1390€ for the auto tho.
>>15271543
That looks more boring and costs about 1800€, at least what i found.

You could say that everything is fake luxury at this point. The longines uses a slightly improved version of an ETA and the oris uses an improved version of a sellita sw200-1. And the damn sellita is based on an ETA.

It's all some refurbished version of an ETA for most entry level mall shitters. There is no winning when it comes to the swiss scam. But some people like some looks so much, that they want to throw away money and that's fine.

I don't trust the sellita due to the tooth-stripping on the hatchet wheel. Now, this likely isn't a problem on Oris. In fact I can almost guarantee it isn't. But if you're looking at microbrands that are selling Sellita-based movements, don't do it.

Yes, logically the first watch should be something like a dress watch but they tend to look boring to people that have little to no experience in watches. I got my first quartz diver because it looked super nice and i loved the colors and contrasts. And I'm still not bored with its my daily watch for half a year already.

Or one could just make fun of these people and say that the basic colors and shapes of divers remind us subconsciously about or kid toys. But i'm sure that nobody on this board would call us manchildren, based on that armchair psychology.
