What's a good 38mm 100m wr watch with a date that's not a SARB033?

>>15387533
orient kamasu

>>15387535
>38mm
>Orient Kamasu is 41-42

I bought BB58 but I just can't quite fall in love with it. It looks great and on paper is my perfevt watch but it's like there's something missing.
What do? I prefer my old Seamaster 300m to this.
What strap should I get to reinvigorate it?

>>15387602
Sell it.

>>15387602
I love Tudor and want to like these but they're just ugly. Why fake gilt inscribing? Why snowflake hands but not snowflake indices? Why plain boring font? Why "gold" print on aluminum bezel insert? Why giant slab sides and disproportionately thin bezel?

A lame bastardization of the gorgeous original in every way.

I'd sell it and get the best Tudor Submariner I can afford.

>>15387602
A Nato is always great, or a Bond regimental strap

Should I buy an AP replica on amazon fro 200? I’m influenced by Instagram but I don’t have $50k -poorfag

>>15388140
No. I bought a fake watch in a moment of weakness when I was just getting into watches and am too embarrassed to wear it. Get yourself a cheap Citizen or Seiko.

Is it an easy job to remove and reapply lume?

AE-1300 or AE-1200? Or something else completely? leaning towards 1300 maybe with a more comfortable strap. I don't want to spend much on a watch.

>>15387517
Cringe

Which one?

>>15388207
remove, yeah. apply cleanly takes some practice.

HOLY FUCK ITS SO LOUD

>>15388296
middle looks great and i might even wear it if it's <36mm

>>15388296
I'd get either 1 or 3.

Never bee a fan of roman numerals on a watch, especially when the number 4 is IIII and not IV...

>>15388317
This watch is for 15 year old nerds.

>>15387517
hey cuckboy. surrender your gf to CHADVICTA.

>>15388383
that one looks wearable. is it <60mm?

>>15388296
Left or right, depending on your style

>>15387674
I think it'd be cool if they removed the gilt personally.
Still looks better than the new blue ones

>I'd sell it and get the best Tudor Submariner I can afford.
unfortunately these have become a huge meme. its really hard to find a good example at a reasonable price. alot of the 40mm models on chrono24 are going for like 6-8k. at that point you can just but the rolex model.

>>15389637
I'm actually considering this.

Saying that. I'm enjoying this waffle strap.

>>15389708
It's probably the best to get if you want vintage.
I want the black full lume one for my inner Timothy Dalton

>>15387674
I like the snowflake hand, and I love skinny bezel inserts. I'd agree though that the gold print on the bezel needs to go

>>15387750
A nato is never great

>>15389708
The only acceptable heuer diver is the night diver

>>15389708
get a proper heuer model like the full lume one >>15389758 mentioned. but in general theres nothing particularly great about these heuer divers. also not sure if youre aware, but the majority of these are quartz. the automatic models all have 'automatic' printed on the dial

>>15389792
Quartz is good.
I already have this full lume Citizen and desu I find it a little loud and brash and hard to wear with business casual.

>>15389934
But can you kill faux kgb agents in business casual? No, you can't

>>15388296
36 arabic central seconds no date

>>15388362
>the number 4 is IIII and not IV
What the fuck? Someone explain this.

>>15390216
It's a traditional thing in watch / clock making, no one is completely sure why but there are some theories like rotational symmetry (the dial is divided into even thirds with the I's from 1-4, V's from 5-8 and X's from 9-12)

hahah why are your repping a watch so large compensating for something much ? hahaha

>>15387595
the lug to lug is short, that is that matters

Is Ball a good brand?

>>15390682

If you watch doesn't cost more than $10,000 stop posting here and get a better job you fucking deadbeat losers.

Honestly their watches are OK if you like that overbuilt industrial design thing they have going on. Like a classy G-Shock. Tritium is a huge meme though, you have to send it back to them after something like 7 years and it's a huge pain in the ass

>>15390697

>>15390682
>>15390689
>>15390697
tacky and gaudy IMO. love the history of the company though. if i had to get one, i'd get the standard time - its a shame the date window has retarded placement.

>>15390692
Make me faggot.

>"holy trinity brand"
>literally two people in the world have heard of them and they both work there

LOL

>>15390682
I realized just now that I don't have a 24hr watch in my collection.
Are they worth getting? or are they a meme? What are some decent models?

>>15390710
why door poorfags post their shitter watches?

christ it's like a retarded kid being proud of double dribbling.

sad.

>>15390714
It nice if you have relatives in a different time zone or if you travel a lot. Also good if you live in iceland where half the year is days and half the year is night, makes it hard to tell which 8:00 it is.

>>15390712
VC>AP and recently VC>PP
I predict they get much more popular recently as people realize AP is a sham and the overseas catches on as a better steel sports value

>>15390717
The only sad thing is being an elitist c(L)ock mongler like yourself. Being proud of spending 1/4 of your salary on a piece of jewelry. Jesus Christ. There are so many other things that I would rather spend my money on than on an outdated trinket.

>>15390717
Post your luxury watches then douchebag

>>15390725

I mean in the near future. Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee xd

>>15390725
>Vacheron Constantin > Patek Philippe

I am literally LOLing at my keyboard. Patek is for men with class. This is something people like you could never understand.

>>15390717

>>15390734
Learn to read retard, I said recently. The recent introductions by PP are extremely underwhelming, while VC has been knocking it out of the park.

>>15390734
Nice Vincero/DW.

>>15390758
>implying

Listen Vacheronfag, Vacherons look like Vincero watches too.

Luxury is a myth.

>>15387602
That's funny. I got a BB58 homage a month ago and am enjoying it heavily. Consistent -8s/d and everything, stays within 30s of NTP all week if set to +30 on sunday evening. Looks like a big watch, but not too big. Dive bezel is present, which is good because I'm accustomed to that.

What I'm saying is, you could've tried before you bought. Put it on the chunkiest steel bracelet you can find and wear it like an asshole.

>>15390771
Which watch you get? BB58 is not big.

>fashion watches are b-

Zenith?

VC is so rad. AP has been stale for years since they starting prostituting out the royal oak and PP hasn't popped out anything new and interesting in a long time.

>>15390785
>ayy bro what time is it?
>i-it's parrot time

>>15390787
it's always parrot time, so you're not wrong

>>15390773
A chinese homage, let's leave it at that. (ST16 movement though. Figured I'd skip Miyota's entry-level buzzers.) Nominally 41mm around the bezel, but wears bigger and particularly the hands make it look big. It's larger than a 420-case Boctok, that's for sure.

>>15390725
Lange > "holy trinity" mass produced rapper watches

Is there any reason I shouldn’t buy a San Martin 62mas?

>>15390798

>>15390807
You're right, Lange is not related to tasteless shit like this

>>15390809
I'm the one shitting on AP, what's your point? Telling me something I already agree with? You just couldn't wait to insert your favorite brand into a separate discussion could you

>>15390784

>>15390682
>>15390689
>>15390697
What a horrendous timepiece

>>15390712
>36mm
That's a pretty nice ladies watch

>>15390806
They'll get cheaper still as some other chink brand brings out a 62mas, so, maybe they'll be even crazier value one day. Who knows.

>>15390682
I'm pretty happy with mine. Had it for three years now without issue, and it's a really nicely built and finished watch. Mine is one of the older ETA movement models and not one of the ones with an in house movement though. (Personally I don't mind that, in a way I'd rather have the ETA with a niche brand like this than a rare in-house movement nobody knows how to service.) They've moved more toward chunky tool watches since I bought mine and I've never even seen one of those in person so I'm honestly not sure what they're like now.

As >>15390699 says, the tritium might be an issue. Mine is probably ~4 years old and still good but I'm definitely not looking forward to getting it redone. I've heard that realistically it's more like 10 years before replacement, they say 7 years but that's just until it falls below a certain brightness level and it's still usable for a few years after that. (And that's a general thing with tritium watches, not unique to Ball.)

>>15390817
The money they go for now is no issue for me. I just don’t want it to be a complete piece of shit and I know if the bracelet is awful I won’t get around to changing it and will just put it in a drawer and forget it so if there’s no problem like that I’ll probably get one.

>>15390809
It always amazes me how the same model of watch can such polar opposites of the spectrum, I think the plain jane classic Royal Oak is a really nice watch but so many versions are monstrosities like that one.

>>15390734
This looks like 5 minutes before the design deadline they realised they had forgotten the subdial, so they just squeezed it in where it would fit

>>15390824
The classic Royal Oak is an ugly piece of shit too

So, should I fuck around and get myself a cartier santos, sbga259, vintage zenith el primero chrono, vintage omega de ville, grape dial op, or grape dial rep for my first mech watch /wt/? My purchase is in your hands

>>15390878
santos

>>15390878
I'd get the SBGA211 over the 259 to be honest. The cold silver/blue indices & hands matches the overall aesthetic better.

>>15390826

>>15391279
nice, is it a real one?

>>15391282
to the best of my knowledge. it runs like shit which implies to me it hasn't been serviced in decades which would seem legit.
I bought it like 15 years ago so I don't remember what my conclusion at the time was.

>>15391286
It looks good in white. I used to always think that black was the only option because of "muh space" but that dial is really clean

>>15391291
I also don't like the fake gems on the black, and prefer the railroad around the outside. it looks cleaner

>>15391300
depends, Russia is a big country. If you're in Moscow a week or 2, 3 if you're in St-Petersbourg.

>>15391298
should I visit russia when this is all over? how's the english in places like moscow/st petersburg and opinion towards americans

>>15391332
I always tell everyone to go to St-Petersbourg, it's like a different country over there, it's not called the cultural center of Russia for nothing. Just don't go around being loud and entitled, Russians are exactly like niggers and will jump you in a group. If you're walking at night make sure you're not being followed, stay in the public eye. Visit St-petersbourg during the summer solstice, there's like only an hour of night time, it's magical. Make sure to visit the summer palace, skip the winter palace, you're going to spend the whole day in line just to get your ticket. Most young people speak english, though ususally very broken.

>>15391380
this is the defy el primero, not the regular el primero. the one whose second hand rotates once per second, for millisecond accuracy

>>15391273
pretty sure you can still get those. If you dont mind paying like $300.

>>15390885
yeah its been in the top of my list for a long time but i just saw the 259 and am honestly quite the sucker for gold, don’t see a technical difference between the two though so in a tough place picking which one id rather have more

>>15391356
NP, and watch out for gypsies and don't trust hotel staff. a fanny pack worn over the shoulder is very acceptable and the best way to carry your shit, keep your pockets empty.

>>15388296
Middle is perfect, my dream watch

>>15391382
zenith is so close to being a super based company IMO. my main problem with them are these orient/seiko style open heard watches.

>>15391382
the solid silver defy looks pretty clean and bangin, ill give you that. is the movement that much of a boner inducer for you to vaunt its millisecond accuracy though?

>>15391405
I mean have you seen it? it's pretty impressive to watch. something about a skeleton movement rotating that fast when you can see it's all mechanical parts is a sight
>>15391401
they're really growing on me. I think the defy series will reinvent them as a brand. I think the open heart looks tacky but only when you consider the aesthetics, the mechanics that you can see on the zenith are way more impressive. but it still looks the same

>>15391411
does the watching showing 1:45 also trigger your autism

>>15391412
Nice Daniel Wellington clone!

>>15391411
how do you survive with every watch having a crown? there's no crown on the opposite side is there?

>>15391405
not the anon you replied to but their movements are pretty based. the single oscillator thing they use sounds pretty interesting (although im an idiot so i dont really understand it). someone posted this video about it a couple of thread ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWh0p9Irznw
>>15391414
>the mechanics that you can see on the zenith are way more impressive
yeah 100%, but when i see them my brain just thinks of picrel. theyre definitely doing cool things, im actually interested in a simple 3hand defy, but need to try one on in person. im a wristlet and the 41mm case size worries me

>>15391420
horizontal symmetry

are ATs based?

>>15391427
yeah I want the defy el primero but the 44mm size is a breaker for me. oh well. I see the same thing that you're posting but I also know that that's like one model they have and everything else is pretty impressive.

>>15391434
Horizontal stripes are, yes

>>15391434
What's the difference between the regular Seamaster, the Aqua Terra and the Planet Ocean? I never quite grasped it.

>>15391429
I see
so this would be your ideal watch then?

>>15391439
have a look at them. They all have different designs.

>>15391439
AT has the co-axial movement with a sapphire display back as the standard, and sports the older dial with the stripes. the regular and PO have helium valves and a steel // ceramic bezel. Maybe if Omega bro is here he might be able to spread more light on it.

>>15391442
oh I'm not him I just figured I would add to the conversation. I love asymmetry in a watch, helium escape valves, offset crowns, 4:30 date windows, that's my shit.

>>15391439
the water resistance and the looks
PO is 600m resistant, SM is 300m, AT is 150m? not sure of the AT, but they also removed the dive bezel so it's clearly more "all-occasions"
>>15391446
all of them have co-axial movement with display back, except for some SM300 models which are steel back

>>15391442
Holy shit it took me a second. Lmao

>>15391439
the seamster name is omegas oyster IMO. sports watches with decent WR
>aquaterra
casual sports watch with 150m WR. so like an OP or DJ
>regular seamaster

>planet ocean
more heavy duty diver with 600m WR similar to the seadwellers

>>15391414
>>15391427
zenith do seem pretty based, actually was thinking about picrel which is the vintage a782 1971 model I’ve been in love with for a long time, just having a very hard time deciding between that, a grape dial op, modern santos, and sbga259.

Since this would be my first actual nice watch, would caring for a vintage watch be feasible? im well off enough to have the watches i want serviced, just not into pumping money into getting a vintage watch ruined when handed over for a service to some monkey with two left hands

>>15391427
Do Japanese people even wear Orients or Seikos?

I can't imagine a white person wearing watch called "White Man" or "Occidental".

>>15391476
forgot the pic lol

>>15391476
picrel? eh?
get either the zenith or the santos, whatever you think you'll want to wear more. grape op is a huge meme and the GS is too stuffy I think.

vintage watches can be a cost sink. I think you should get the watch you like the most and not consider anything else. just don't get the grape op. not considering any jlc at that budget?

anyone think this a real omega de ville? dont know if its because im retarded, but couldnt find it in the vintage omega archives at all. press in caseback quartz de ville with sapphire glass pretty similar to some other old de ville watches, just no day date and squatter face profile than anything i could find

>>15391482
That el primero is really nice; unique dial too. I'd get that to be honest.

>>15391485
i really do like jlc as a brand and their offerings, but the only jlc models i could afford at the price point im willing to pay (under 10k aud) would be classic reversos, and i very much like the santos much more. Also being a wristlet doesnt help too much

>>15391160
I got one

>>15391502
I really really like the reverso more than the santos, but I don't mind the santos. have you looked into blancpain? jlc master series? maybe I'm severely overestimating the conversion rate.
in either case omega AT is the best value prop below 4k and maybe that would be a good watch while you invest the rest in OLLI so you can double your money and get a VC overseas in 3 years

>>15391494
The bracelet isn't correct but could be aftermarket. The dial actually looks like it could be real, no dates existed and the fonts all look correct, but yeah the case shape isn't one I've seen before or look to be of high quality. If I had to guess I'd be inclined to say it's a frankenwatch using a legit dial.

Is there any expensive watch a woman can wear that doesn't make you think she has a "sugar daddy"?

Can't she just buy it with her own money?

>>15391615
Women don't care about watches for the most part. They'll just wear some michael kors garbage and be done with it. Maybe a longines breitling or tissot, max some low end ladies rolex, but even then.

i wanna fuck woman who wears cartier

>>15391615
it's hard because watches are such a male dominated industry. if a woman buys a nice watch it's suspicious because of how frequently men buy those watches over women. but nice jewelry is different, I wouldn't think about a woman with a cartier/van cleef bracelet, but if she had a royal oak I'd be wondering if her man was a watch autist

>>15391577
A pocket watch with the chain attached to a nipple ring

>>15391623
>Women don't care about watches for the most part.

Women don't care about watches because the watch industry doesn't care about them. Patek, AP, ALS don't make women's watches, they make men's watches aimed at women.

The only brand I know that has specific women's only watch lines is Vacheron, and literally no one cares about Vacheron.

>>15391359
>>15391361
>>15391362
>>15391373

What you have to understand it is the most comfortable braclet ever made, I must admit I didn't like the styling for years, i got over it and its grown on me but it wears so well.

Buy it on the bracelet, get a rubber strap for it, try it on the braclet if you dont like it box it away and just wear it on the rubber, good to have if you ever want to sell, omega charge about £400+ for it.

>Patek Phillipe built a new $600 million dollar headquarters.

>>15391633

the thing is there isnt a sizable affluent female demographic who would spend like $20,000 on a watch. Its different from bags and shoes. Like given the choice between a hermes bag or a watch what would a female choose?

>>15391636
yea it is ugly. Most modern architecture is ugly. That building looks like it has aircon ducting all over the outside

>>15391653
have you seen how much people spend on birkins?

>>15391657
thats my point
a bag is big and grabs attention immediately
a watch is often an afterthought and I dont know who can be blamed for this. Female watches have been fashion focused since the beginning, a chicken and egg thing.

>>15391636
What has how the building looks got to do with their watches?

>>15391688
If their CEO is dumb enough to approve that ugly as fuck building then it speaks poorly of their entire brand.

>>15388296
easily right, peak watch aesthetic. I'd prefer a blue dial though

>>15391699
It says more that you are dumb enough to believe that.

>>15391741
everything besides the unique case shape and the AP movement is terrible. it looks like a DW unironically.
I want them to use the arced sapphire/case shape on a watch that actually looks interesting

>>15391634
Second this. Totally grows

>>15390725
The Overseas does not have an iconic design, it has a boring non-textured dial and it doesn't have the history. I think Vacheron are great as a brand but the Overseas will never be as popular as it's competition if it remains like it is.

>>15391756
Yeah well I like the overseas

>>15391741
It's a total fucking mess.
Very umimpressive handset. It's supposed to be a modern sport watch but it's got no lume. The 4 o' clock date window is completely uninspired, and I'm a fan of 4 o'clock date windows. The font on the 12 is pathetic, it already seems dated and clashes with the baton indices that try to give it a refined look. It has the most industrial-looking lug shape possible but then everything else about the watch doesn't fit with that direction. This is like a shitty mix of new and old that fails to do either properly. Every element of the watch is at odds with itself. The coffin-shaped pushers suggest refinement and elegance but then the crown is practically an engorged gear and then there's the aforementioned lug issue.
Maybe AP just sucks

>>15391764
>Maybe AP just sucks

The Royal Oak is literally the best watch ever created, though.

>>15391779
It's really not. It's overhyped and is extremely hideous. It's existence is a meme.

>>15391791
it's overhyped but only people who have never worn one would call it extremely hideous

>>15391761
Most people like the overseas but not enough to buy it over the other choices. If you would you would you are in the minority The RO is cheaper, has a better bracelet and of course the Genta design. The Aquanaut and Nautilus are vastly more desirable. The overseas is a good watch but its not a great one. The best part is the VC finished movement and that's not even visible.

>>15391798
>only people who have never worn one would call it extremely hideous
You forgot to include people with eyes and people with taste.

>>15391634

posted in last thread, but still up for some more opinions
Just over 36mm, chronometer ETA movement and usually with the oyster-ish style bracelet for around 1.5k-2kUS

it's either this or a Tudor Black Bay 36 I reckon

>>15391808
royal oaks are nice

>>15391791
The Royal Oak is an amazing watch. Don't hate on it because you can't afford one or that AP is now essentially a one watch brand.

>>15391822
lol
Nobody who says the Royal Oak is amazing ever says why. Just "it's amazing" "it's iconic"
The Royal Oak is shit and AP is shit because the RO is all they have. And all of you fell for the meme because you are airhead dipshits

>>15391805
>not enough to buy it over the other choices
>15k versus 55k for a watch that retailed for almost the same price
yeah I'm thinking a LOT of people are going to start rocking the overseas my dude.
>the RO is cheaper
>40k versus maybe 20k
where do you get these ridiculous ideas?

I have a watch with a black case and a black face.

What bands could I possibly wear that look good? Im guessing a nato that is predominantly black ie. bond?

>>15391805
>and of course the Genta design
Genta watches are hideous lmao
The only attractive watch he designed was the Polerouter.

>>15391893
you should post a pic of the watch you cock smoker

Does /wt/ know the original unmoded watch?
What do you think of it?

>>15391884
He's not wrong. The AP RO list price is now the same as the VC Overseas for all standard models such as plain 3 handed or chronographs and that is only because AP increased their prices recently. If you are talking about grey market prices that's different.

Rate my collection

>>15391924
8/10, sell like 5 of them and get a REAL 10k+ watch
no reason to have those 2 speedies and 2 OPs, you could have a JLC or blancpain or even a 2nd hand gen2 overseas (picrel 9k used)

>>15391924
The Casio is junk and should be binned. The fake gold Seiko is meh but at least it's different in style. The Bulova is redundant since you have those Speedy's. As for the rest, pretty damn good.

The dream is AL&S or VC. Maybe Patek. The moonphase speedy was a personal grail and the other was a gift. Might sell the latter.

>>15391938
Casio is for the gym / dicey neighborhoods. Probably going to sell Seiko dress watch. I want to sell the Bulova too but it just keeps pulling on my heartstrings...

>>15391963
he has (you have?) 3 omegas, 2 of which are the same family, 2 ROLEXROLEXROLEXes, and STILL 4 other watches.
My dude, it's a different story. Should you have 5 $5k (avg) watches or 2 $5k avg watches and a single $15k stunner?

>>15391811
I'd take the seamaster, money will be safer in it aswell. The black tube on the crown and bezel being to wide on the bb36 throws the design for me personally.

>>15391924
8/10

Love the new seamaster, been thinking about upgrading to one.

Speedy, great watch, keep it.

The speedy moonphase is really nice, blue was the right pick, little thick tho. I would maybe trade it for a Reverso Duoface or mater control (as stated). Like the watch but would have to pick the og speedy.

I have been so close to pulling the trigger on the OP39 white, great watch.

The DJ, never been a big fan.

Bottom row, good to have some beaters, wouldn't like to walk through London with a 2tone DJ. Hows the Hamilton run, I heard the 80hr movements have issues. I thoughts about picking one up to add to my beaters.

I would sell the DJ and speedy moonphase and buy a A lange Saxonia small seconds (that's just me) You don't been a 10k watch thoses brand are expensive to service and repairs ohhh boy, the overseas look like trash btw.

Phone auto correct, I should have read over it, you get the idea.

>>15392082
just saying go to a mirror and make sure your face isn't drooping

is this the worst case of 'tropical dial' you've seen?

why do people even want to buy these?
this was sold for $650

>>15392086
Need not been...... uhh you had a stroke bro.

Just because I said the overseas looked like trash and that white dial one is fucking ugly. The newer blue dial one is okay but the bezel and bracelet having design elements from he logo is tacky.

>>15392112

love my 62mas, miss my alpinist as it's off to be modded atm. RIP

>>15392051
Thanks for the detailed review!

As I mentioned the moonphase was my personal grail watch. It is just so beautiful to me. Wouldn't sell it for the world.

I like the white OP because it's so simple. That and the DJ give me two, "I just need a Rolex" options.

Honestly it's the Speedy and SM I'm unsure of. I really love the SM but there are just so many other great dive watches and the Speedy feels less necessary now that I have the Moonphase. I sort of just love the Speedy's box...

The Hamilton is runs fine. Zero issues though I've only had it three months. It's a solid beater.

I may sell a couple. My next grail will be a Lange of some kind.

>>15391741
Looks like a shitty Armani watch.

>>15392227
I got it after looking at your collection, felt like I needed it.

>>15391273
>mfw it's still the least franken'd Raketa
At least nos exist out there. It's not that hard to get one that's legit if you're not being cheap.
Try even finding a Big Zero that is not obviously fake.

>>15391982
I've been everywhere (mentally) and I'm coming back around to a modern Sub with date being the "right" watch

>>15391893
>>15391899

Not my wrist.

I found a picture of a green and red nato that looks good. not sure if a brown leather band would look out of place with it or should i just stick to black and red natos?

>>15392378
>rolex submariner

wow so interesti... *falls asleep*
literally the most pleb "luxury watch" there is

>>15391665
My grandma had one, I never understood how it can be handwound. The thing is mental, most likely keeps shit time, though.

>>15392397
So essentially your argument against one of the most recognisable and popular watches of all time is that it is recognisable and popular. That's a pleb criticism.

>>15392326
I'm honoured.

>quartz
Gonna be a no for me

>>15388296
Left. Middle is probably better as a dress watch though.

>>15392403
The really small ladies watches and pendent watches cut corners everywhere to reduce size, remove some safeguards and don't even attempt to be shock resistant, let alone waterproof and don't even think about pressure.
You'll also note that they pretty much never have any subdial or complication. Many of them don't even have a seconds hand.
So yeah, they keep pretty poor time.
At the end of the day, they're not meant to be standout pieces anyway, so accuracy and precision were never really the point.
The only ladies' watches that are built for accuracy are nurse chain watches.

>>15392409
>When you hear the word plebeian used to describe a form of art or taste, it means that while something is liked by a lot of people, it may not be of the highest quality or taste.

it literally is what it means. Its such an overdone and copied watch it generates negative excitement. Its as exciting as a silver mercedes. Wouldn't even bat an eye at it.

Look at all my shitters

>>15392416
Noone cares, though.

>>15391273

whats that smoll watch at the very bottom?

>>15392429
Thanks, I want one even more now.
>t. wristlet :c

>>15392426
Most people simply want a damn good watch, it doesn't have to be exciting.

>>15392450
why even buy a $20,000 watch if its not exciting? lacking imagination desu. There are plenty of quality watches you can choose, you dont have to go for mayo with plain bread

>>15392416
i have to admit, before i got into watches i didnt even know there were watches that didnt have batteries. It blew my mind

Daily reminder to never go above half your monthly salary for a watch unless you REALLY need it.

>>15392455
Looks good, retains value, instantly recognizable
could be a little smaller that's all that's wrong with it for me

I own several luxury watches and regularly encounter folks wearing subs.

To me it's a boring watch and not entirely because of Rolex. That design has been copied and homaged to death.

There are so many objectively better luxury divers to choose from. When I see a guy wearing a sub I assume he's either an affluent normie who doesn't really know about watches or optimizing for resale/investment (which is super boring to me as a collector).

I get the need in business to signal, "I'm a member of the Rolex club!" I have a datejust and OP for that. Together cost less than a gray market sub and without spending years on some cuck waiting list.

What makes it so good, then? I see [chinkbrand du jour] selling an all-milled homage w/ NH35 for sub-$100 on [the usual suspects]. Are you sure it's not just about looking like [rap negro of choice]?

>>15392557
Yeah sure get a Blancpain FF that depreciates like hell and no one recognizes because it's "objectively better"

These are fashion accessories no one cares about movement finishing

>>15392576
RO is a bad line bc the ultra thin makes the others look really crap and undesirable in comparison and not just because it's thin but dials/proportions/color options/etc

And shoving high complications in it is super gimmicky and doesn't fit stylistically

I have a Calvin Klein nylon belt. The material is pretty soft and stretchy. Are there any watch straps that are like that?

I always thought perlon was meant to be like that but ive bought two one was a Eulit and the other was off some random site and theyve both are really thin and just feel like cheap plastic rather than a fabric weave. The Eulit one had sharp edges on it as well.

>>15392259

It was £2250 and another £180 for a ajustable clasp. Could have got it cheaper but I bought it from a local dealer.

>>15392263
Fair enough, hard to sell a gift (depends who its from) I would pick the og speedy because it was a grail of mines from when I was a broke student. I do wear it less due to the hesalite and I do baby it as it was a big deal at the time for me. The moonphase is the better watch of course. The seamaster is hard to beat for the money. There is no wrong answer. Just but what you like, you clearly have good taste. Wear in good heath.

>>15388317
That's OK, it will quiet down when the battery dies.
