Hah! I'm heteroe and I'm gonna invade your safe space and there's nothing you can do about it!
Since the start of corona, everyone is always talking about how watches are gonna drop in price any time soon, yet they don't.
Here's another datapoint that they certainly will start dropping this time around!

>>15357471
As I’m sure you can see from your own post, the solution is to do what you like and ignore these catty faggots

>>15357417
holy fuck

>>15357482
No the solution is to buy a real Rolex instead of showing off your "rep"

Will such a shitty aliexpress nato-adaptor fit my g-shock, even when it's not in that list? Springbar is 16mm, obviously, and it seems similar enough, but I'm wondering if there are any pitfalls to be expected.
Also, my dear watch homos, are there any printed natos that are not totally homo? Like Hawayii shirt prints or classic paisley? Also would help if they're not the bottom $1-$2 tier. Those work, but they fray too easily, so I'd like to upgrade.

Get a g-shock square instead

does anyone have that meme quality guide where for some reason the person thinks you can get a Grand Seiko for $3k?

>>15357499
ive bought those cheap printed natos before and they are extremely bad

the rings dont sit well, and the fabric is not breathable, and it just feels flimsy in comparison to the normal equally bottom tier natos. There was once i was struggling with it and the strap just flew out under the ring and my watch landed face 1st with a loud smack on the tiled floor, thankfully it was a flat crystal flush with the bezel and the hardlex was unharmed

>>15357516
You make it sound as if that's low for a Grand Seiko

>>15357513
Already got one, i kind of like the Ironman better.

>>15357510
It’s absolutely great

>>15357519
It's a bit weird. I've found the (more expensive, printed on both sides) graphic straps from CNS to be on the better side, comfortwise, of what they offer; the literal cheapest glued-not-stitched straps are very stiff on my wrist in comparison, and the zulus scratch me up.

Guess cheap is cheap. Is expensive any good though?

>>15357432
July I think

>>15357526
Why?

>>15357510
>120 €
shop around a bit more, thats like $150
kinda high, i would say a good price is $100-120 max, but maybe its just britbong prices
also remember you will have to add extra to the cost as seiko bracelets are garbage folded tier

>>15357446
Vostok cadet

>>15357535
It has bigger numbers, the buttons are easier to push because they are not recessed into the case, and it just kind of looks more badass in person. Also it's even more comfortable than the square

>>15357546
It's pretty based

>>15357519
>and it just feels flimsy in comparison to the normal equally bottom tier natos.
That's weird. I got some $1.20 or something ones, and they're the cheapest I ever found, and they're actually quite decent, so I fiugred approx. $4 and printed ought to be similar. Maybe you just got bad luck? I mean, it seems kinda hard to fuck up somehting that simple as a nato strap.

Is this the most AESTHETIC calculator watch?

>>15357546
I see the appeal but ultimately don't like it. Round digital watches are dumb in general; round watches only make sense when they are analog (since the hands make a circle as they rotate). I don't like a watch that should be square but was kept round out of tradition, not because it makes sense. The design is bad

>>15357560

Unfortunately no.

They are rich and famous, so expensive watches are not really necessary to show their status.

Some of them resort to buy 100m shitty paintings instead.

I'll have to check one out in person. I've been looking at trying to get a digital protrek though

the case looks like it came from this (junior desert storm) which was already a hodgepodge of vostok manufacturing at that time with cases and dials switched everywhere
its weird because i cannot find a reference to it and the only few examples are from a handful of ebay and etsy listings
maybe it is legit or maybe not and its lost in history

>>15357580
The protreks are cool too. Another nice thing about the Ironmans is that they are cheap and tough as nails, so you can get one and just wear it whenever you want without caring about it getting damaged

>>15357574
She's wearing it because it's retro and basic bitches love that shit, and he's wearing it because it's a part of his eccentric outfit and he doesn't give a shit. If you believe celebrities are "the richest most powerful people on the planet," you're a fucking idiot.

This.
It's all smoke and mirrors with these people, they create the false impression of beauty, style and sophistication when in reality it's all a facade to maintain their status. And most of the shit they wear they didn't even pay a penny for it.

>>15357588
I just want another digital watch that has a bunch of features. Maybe I'll pick up an iron man as well. Lately I've been really getting into digital watches for some reason

The big numbers are a real plus point on Timex, shame the build quality just isn't there.

I'm scared of getting my timex wet, but I wouldn't think twice about plunging my G-shock into an open sewer.

why dont you own a big man watch?

>>15357581
>>buy automatic
>>owning watch becomes full time job
Keep it wound up by wearing it every 2 days (not hard if you only have one watch), maybe change the time every 2 weeks, service every 5+ years. Is it really that difficult?

>>15357579
So what you're saying is that only those who don't actually have status use watches to show their status?

>>15357635
Middle class folks who get rich are usually self conscious about their wealth

Old money and poor people love showing off

>>15357628
i'm not a big guy

my seiko should be arriving next week. I spent $100 on this, was it a good purchase considering it's vintage?

>>15357635
Pretty much. Rich people like that can all very easily afford Rolexes etc, so it doesn't do anything for them when it comes to standing out from their peers

>>15357635
yes

>>15357628
Is Invicta the ultimate coke dealer watch?

>>15357648

>>15357650
100 bucks for that? You got ripped off.

Your model was one of the cheaper end quartz models at the time, mine was mid-range and only cost me 50 bucks.

>>15357687
shit. oh well, i like how it looks a lot and it's hard to find any that look like this particular one so honestly i don't actually mind paying that much

Anyone a bad enough dude to identify this watch for me with this shitty video quality? Just curious.
https://youtu.be/uT4xIqavh5Q?t=583

>>15357811
That would be I have no fucking idea what I am doing

>>15357803
i always wonder was this created ironically or by a butthurt rolex fan

>>15357664
No. Invicta is the medium-time weed dealer's watch, when he's dressing up like a coke dealer. Nothing ultimate about it.

tl;dr wife wants a watch she can wear inside her wrist, loves the look of a Cartier but can't stand the pricetag. Wat do?

>>15357867

Fuck, I need that second band from the left! (And a watch to go with it. Maybe I should get me some ugly green diver).
The store only has the green one with another print.

>>15357867
have you looked at Longines dolcevita lineup? if it's still out of your price range the you can try you luck in the second hand market.

>>15357825
its some kind of Luminox seal blackout variant

you can see the bulge at the side and the tritium inner bezel and the pip at 12 o'clock

but it is likely a unit/regiment/division exclusive model. I was in active military (non US) and they offered us a customised model with unit insignia at discounted price. Apparently they do that a lot all over the place so I wouldnt be surprised if that police force /swat team got offered one as well. Giant 44mm ish quartz shitters though

>>15357883
also, the bezel looks more similar to this, but the watch in that video has more tritium tubes on the inside.

>>15357872
Definitely a possibility for the moment, but I'm looking for a bit more of an investment.

>>15357880
A fantastic idea to go second hand! I hadn't considered it. Not sure how obvious that wave design is on the face though, so I'd want to see it in person first.

Brehs...

>>15357906
I respect Seiko deeply but their non-divers are the most boring fucking watches on the go. Literally a dollar store watch

>>15357920
>boring
It's called simplicity and subtlety

>>15357920
its very japanese to have simple elegant designs.
I feel the same but in reverse, divers are boring to me and all look the same

>>15357920
I feel the opposite, they're understated. Their divers look like absolute shit, like all divers, because they're a watch for a concept that no longer exists.

>>15357883
>>15357892
Looks pretty close, yeah. Hard to tell. Thanks.

>>15357931
>Their divers look like absolute shit, like all divers, because they're a watch for a concept that no longer exists.
I'm not him, but you really think so? To each their own, I suppose. I think they're beautiful.

nigga that's a smartwatch

I really like this but not sure if its worth the price tag 350 for a Seiko VK64 Mechaquartz but it looks really good

>>15357982
350 for some niche limited edition mecaquartz chrono is actually standard

>>15357980
I don't think so, definitely not the smartwatch in that picture at least.

>>15357980
nah at 9:49 if you slow mo at 0.25x you can see part of the inner tritium bezel lighting up

>>15357968
Nice DW, bro, but whats up with that price, haha?

>>15357957
Looks like an Alpinist

Hi!!

>>15358015
Although the official Best Girl watch is of course an EVA-02 G-shock

>>15358000
You seem to forget that the fricking thing has a SCREEN. Look I even found the exact model with the navy blue strap as seen in the video.

what are some underrated/rarely seen (but affordable) watches i can buy to up my hipster cred?

>>15357968
>>15358015
This one has a more distinctive springbar, but is obviously a simpler drawing.

>>15358021
>a strap is the watch
it doesnt even line up bro
theres no pip at 12 oclock and all the entire bezel is blacked out there

>>15358024
This seems like the closest mix of the previous two, with a green face, gold hands, silver body and red strap. It's actually quite charming - I wish more anime girls wore watches.

>>15358022
Bitch I don’t know what you can afford

>>15358024
I have to assume artist's error on that point.
You might see similar shapes on something like the Beads of Rice type bracelet on an old Doxa Sub300, but that's part of the bracelet instead of the case so it wouldn't be on the more standard strap she's wearing.

>>15358042
under 300 is preferable but 500 is the max

mechanical

>>15357809
>>15357762
this. that watch is actually pretty good

>>15358026
Are you blind, You can see the indices on the bezel playing with the light, you can also see the minute markers on the inside of the bezel and the buttons on the right. You can also note that the "dial" is absolutely illegible in direct sunlight because its a fucking smartwatch.

>>15358018
Great watch, terrible ring.

>>15357986
thats good to know, i havent seen much of Yema other than the superman posted here a couple times

>>15358044
just get one of the more colorful vostoks with a lot of stupid shit on them like the one with boat anchors and shit from the life aquatic

>>15358053
You have various microbrands like Undone selling mecaquartz chronos for 300-350 USD. Yema is kind of a revived brand but one with actual heritage and the Navygraf is a limited (IIRC) heritage model remake. So it being a similar price to the competition is actually quite a deal.

>>15358056
its also on sale now but its a preorder shipping in mid july, might pull the trigger on it thanks

>>15358050
ok
smartwatches are so lame

>>15357973
Humans no longer rely on dive watches to know when their air tank runs out. 99% of divers are sold to people who have little to no use for their feature set. For the 1% that do have a valid use case, the majority are using them as a backup for their backup.

>>15358064
I don't dive but I use the timing bezel all the time. It's just a very useful and intuitive feature.

>>15357762
>>15357809
>>15358047
Zoom in... enhance! It's a... wait, what is that?

>>15358020

>>15358054
i mean actually nice looking watches and not toy looking things

>>15358043
>>15358024
Unless it's something obnoxiously proprietary like the A Lange Odysseus quick-release?
That's new for this year though so it can't be on my '90s chinese cartoons. And they don't make it in green.

>>15358070
you said you wanted to look like a hipster
hipsters are all shallow retards who just want colorful things to get other shallow hipster faggots to take notice of them because hipsters don't have personality. you're like people who buy richard milles and rolexs but without money.
I'd say just get a fucking swatch or fossil but you wanted something mechanical so I suggested a vostok. a watch that has real heritage, that is russian because hipsters are all fucking commies, that has been in a hipster movie, is still a respectable watch, and still has a fun, nice look to it. what are you whining about?
realistically nobody will care what watch you wear anyway because hipsters are the antithesis of taste.

>>15358073
What the fuck were they thinking with this watch's lugs?
The watch itself is so beautiful and complex but then the lugs and integrated bracelet/strap make it look so insanely clunky.

>>15358064
I use the bezel on my diver often. What makes you think it's useless for anything other than diving? Do not understand the practical use it has?
Here: https://www.josephbonnie.com/en/blog/rotating-dive-watch-bezel/

>>15357957
>>15358024
I want to say that it is a Swatch of some sort, they have those multi pronged proprietary straps and comes in gaudy colorways such as green and red.

>>15357957
Graf Zeppelin LZ127

>>15358075
It's a regular bracelet setup. It seems the rubber and leather straps that come with the watch attach to the end links using some kind of quick change, which to be honest look not that great really.

>>15357825
Looks like some garmin watch

>>15357867

>>15358101
I think I'm gonna buy it, might get a brown lizard strap to dress it down a bit as I don't wear a suit for work usually

>>15358064

Why do you seem to think dive watches are only used for SCUBA?

I have literally never been SCUBA diving but jump into a river or lake every weekend.

>>15358118
they are ok but kinda big for a traditional dress like the other anon says
orients love for weird lug widths like 21mm etc makes it hard to find straps /bracelets too

i would recommend a set and forget Citizen or a Seagull if you are looking around the <=$300 mark

you can also look at orient star classics,they come at 38.5mm

>>15358145
Post it if you get it man. Even with the black strap, I dont think dress watches are as hard to wear casually as people make it seem. Just go drive-core as a bare minimum and you're good.

>>15358131
That coffee brand is Nescafe, "dolce" means soft or smooth.

whats a good cheap watch for a 22 year old who dresses like a zoomer? looked in poorfag guide and didnt like much. i really like the old gshock g'mix with the bpm counter but hard to find.

>>15358152
>>15358118
alternatively, if you really want to be a true watch aficionado, you can hunt for vintage Poljots on ebay. These were ultraslim watches made in the 70s in the soviet union, with golden movements and higher quality than the normal wares. Good or NOS examples regularly pop up under or around $100 on ebay. But you have to be very careful and check the movement inside though. And forget about sellers who dont have a 100% score

Theres also the Timex Marlin reissue. 34mm. Its quite acceptable at $200ish imho. but does not have an inhouse movement and is powered by a modified seagull inside.

But I also don't get why everyone is

As the other anon said, a russian watch. Or a chinese one (some real chinese design, a Beijing or a Shanghai for example), like pic related.

This article explains it better than I could.
https://www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/news/2020/0319_mrg-b2000sh/
> The aged feel was reproduced by using special dies based on the sand dies by casting artisan Masanao Kikuchi. Additionally, the bezel and band are finished with layers of brown and blue ion plating (IP) to create the rugged look of rusted steel and the look of the navy blue ito odoshi* used in the Shougeki-Maru kabuto, respectively.

Casio makes some very polarizing design, but you cannot fault them for not trying.

>>15358340
It means nothing in french, this is the english word there.

the 1963 was my 'grail' when I 1st started getting into watches (dont laugh) , I love how it looks, its so different and bubbly and dorky looking. I was extremely dirt broke then so I didnt have the cash to get it. Now that I actually have a job I could get it, even the more expensive 'official one' but somehow I dont want to face the emptiness after getting a desired object; like- whats next?

yeah, but "must de cartier" doesn't mean anything in english, and "de" is french, and cartier is a french name/french company.

>>15358346
Absolutely based. Casio is the best watch brand

>>15358347
I'm using the bezel on mine right this moment for the beer I put in the freezer.

>>15358357

>>15357526

>>15358361

I dont want to get it right now because I want to prolong my watch journey, im afraid after I get it ill wouldn't be satisfied and will want more and more watches and drop right into the endless rabbithole of having 30+ shitters

Not exactly. "Le must" is commonly used here in France. If it annoys you, deal with it.

>>15358286
This thing is a masterpiece

>>15358430
No, it's just a very dated design that looks good only in a specific era. There are timeless designs from the same era (like the Speedy or the Rolex OP/DJ/Explorer for example) but this one is just stuck.

>>15358383
I'm not annoyed that they say it, but telling me they have some idiomatic use for "must" doesn't explain what they mean when they say it. the English word must means an obligation. you must breathe oxygen or die. you must do your homework. there is the word "musty" which is a moldy or damp smell. so you would hardly want to name your perfume that.
"le" means the, but it can be used to indicate the whole or idea of something. j'aime la femme doesn't mean i love the woman, it means i love all women or the idea of women.
so I don't understand what "le must" means here. "obligations?" how is this idiom used in context?

>>15358437
but zoomers are wearing 90s shit right now and 80s stuff is coming back too

and there are still people wearing watches like the tag monaco so how's this any different

>>15358451
which model is that?

>>15358471
I wish they had made Gagarin's face slightly smaller so half of it wasn't covered up by the central axis of the watch

>>15358448
Are you a zoomer?

>>15358442
>the English word must means an obligation
It also means juice, particularly juice used for fermentation and winemaking.

A couple dictionaries also list it as an obsolete form of "musk", possibly referring specifically to powdered musk, but I'm having a hard time finding proper citations.

>>15358478
they could've at least aligned it to overlap the eye, as if to say he was a man who saw infinity.

wtf bros my mom stole my Mickey shitter. Her only other watch is a gold datejust so I’m kinda flattered.

>OH NOO YOU *CANNOT* WEAR THIS RETRO DESIGN

>>15358497
right, but what meaning do the french attribute to it when they use "our" word? what does "le must" -- which Pierre assures me is a common french saying but assumes the meaning is clear to me because it's in my language after all -- mean in france?

>>15358528
>"our" word
We took it from French though.

I want to buy a new watch because my current cheapo (quartz if that matters) one stops working in the mountains at around 1500 meters altitude and that's annoying. Is there a specific type of thing I should be looking at? Like a function it has to have or a specific type of watch? I don't need compasses or moon phases or whatever fancy shit they put, just want it to show the correct time when I'm 1500-3000 high.

>>15358534
nope. both derive from old english (germanic, pre-norman invasion). the winemaking term entered old English from latin, though.

>>15358544
>stops working in the mountains at around 1500 meters
why does that happen? what watch is it

maybe try a mechanical

>>15358544
G-Shock, it's also a quartz and relatively cheapo

>>15358547
>From Middle English must, from Old English must and Old French must, most, both from Latin mustum
>1480–90; earlier moist < Middle French must, variant of musc musk

>>15358560
>why does that happen? what watch is it
It's a Timex Easy Reader. I love this little shit, but it just stops working when you get high in the mountains, I have no idea why, the air pressure probably messes with it.

>>15358573
if this is the problem, would a dive watch theoretically be better? since they're sealed better. or would the internal pressure work against you

>>15358573
Some watches are tested to 0 ATM, could be worth looking into them

>>15358573
One of those Citizen dinnerplates with an altimeter in there? You might be one of the very few people in the world with a legit use for that feature.

>>15358579
>>15358573
desu i think just a normal cheapo mechanical shitter will do. Something powered by physical moving parts, what could go wrong with it? . The 1st watches that got to Everest were just "lousy by todays standards" mechanicals too.

>>15358579
I have no idea. I really want to get a normal-looking watch that works. My other option apparently is something like pic related, but that would be overkill.

>>15358586
I stumbled across a thread of Rolex owners that said their datejust didn't work that well at 7000 ft. They're adjusted for sea level.
Granted a mechanical watch will work but it'll likely drift. I'm still curious whether a mechanical diver would be better (since it's sealed) or worse (since the internal pressure is much higher than the external pressure, would the crystal pop out?)

>>15358573
I have a cheap Timex that I've gotten compliments on, but other have remarked how goddamn loud it is. I've had people sitting next to me in a moving car ask what that ticking noise is.

>>15358594
Yeah, they're loud. The ones with the chronograph are quiet tho because only the little bottom seconds are moving.

>>15358589
just get a $50 gshock then

its a watch that still works after being driven over by a truck (theres a video of it) and even used in space by nasa, some air pressure nonsense will do nothing to it

>>15358593
Unlikely imo. If a diver is rated to 10 or 20 atm then I can't imagine the ~0.5 atm pressure difference at altitude will cause it to fail (even though the pressure is in the "wrong direction")

>>15358442
"Le must" means a must-have, or the best thing,

>>15358352
>I dont want to face the emptiness after getting a desired object; like- whats next?

My guess is that you lust after something else. You'll get used to it.

But a 1963 is legit good. I you want to not have it for the sake of not having it, I'd say it's a little dumb.

>>15358222
thats wrong it's a quartz gold cartier tank he wears it in an interview which you can see it clearly doesn't have the must logo

>>15358570
different authorities are going to differ in derivations, pic related.
my larger point is
A) the gauls, franks, angles and saxons all came to the word "must" from the latin "mustum" neuter of "mustus": "new". but only in the sense of winemaking.
B) winemaking jargon is used mostly in that industry. until today, I had never heard of the word "must" in that context. it may as well be french.
3) we can argue about the origin of the word but it doesn't explain if this cologne is supposed to refer to wine, musk, or some sort of "obligation" to the svengali-like allure of the scent because the faggot frog surrender-monkey keeps bickering about minutia instead of answering the question I have clearly posed 3 times now.

>>15358710

thoughts on the new black bay 58?
I had the blue bezel black bay but sold it because it was way too chunky maybe this would be a better fit

>>15358840
It's pretty good but why the sidegrade? You already had a Tudor, maybe just get an Omega or a Rolex next. Just get a pre-ceramic Submariner or something like that.

>>15358840
the only black bay worth getting is the "rotor self-winding"
everything after that lacks any personality. maybe this is just me but I also think the dials look really cheap

wut?
How can they be illegal when actual pearls arent

>>15358919
>>15358921

it’s illegal to import into the US without a special permit according to US Customs + Fish and Wildlife.

the only official sinn distributor in the US does not have this permit so Sinn does not make the MoP sinn’s in the US.

if you purchase them individually you run the risk of it getting ceased, etc.

>>15358991
>does not make the MoP sinn’s in the US

I was thinking of a datejust instead but I only like the vintage ones.
a 4 line submariner would also be good if the price wasn't ridiculous

>>15358991

>>15359397
Tbh how much is the extra steel going to protect a watch from shocks? Pretty sure the thick case is for water resistance and making it look tough. Nomos club is smol and water proof to 100 m for instance. I would argue a smaller watch is more practical for most people because you're less likely to bang it into shit in the first place

What's up with the ~USD160 versions of the seagull 1963 on Ali? Are they shitty fakes or do they measure up, having the same production process anyway?

>>15358908
oh dear god I want it i can afford to buy it right now should i do it
is there some massive flaw with this watch i don't know about? why have I not seen it before

>>15358704
Found it on a forum identifying celebrities and watches, so you could be correct. The must tank came in both quartz and mechanical though.

>>15359473
No one actually knows what the difference is. If you’re in China you can get a 1963 from taobao for like $90, a bunch of Ali sellers sell it for $150-200, the HKED one is $270, knockoff HKEDs are like $150 as well. The seagull shop on Ali sold them for $400+, but that isn’t even an official store as some forum guy found out. Whats the actual quality difference between them? Fuck knows

???

>>15359976
Can’t say much about this case, but in general, if a store on AliExpress says “official” it can mean anything, ranging from “official” to “we try to not sell you fakes” to “lol, we just wrote this in our store name, because no one cares”

>>15359930
I love this color scheme.

>>15358840
Pretty cool, but I hope that it doesn't replace the black BB58.

I just hope it means the black version of the 58 goes down in price or becomes more available.

For a private citizen purchasing for personal use you just need to declare. Watchbuys can't do it, but you can.
