/fa/ - Fashion

Asking again, does anyone know of any other divers with countdown bezels?

Rolex watches look so boring and generic

>>15540028
It’s not Rolex’s problem that they’re popular, often copied, or that you’re not very discerning.

Anybody recognize any of these brands? My greatgranda watches btf

I’m interested in the Limes Pharo. Anyone know anything pertinent about it, or have any experience with Limes watches?

Any affordable shitter watches with interesting shapes? Kind of like the INOX but not dinnerplate sized. Want to expand my.collection but I really dislike the boring basic round shape everything has.

>>15539999
they're pretty rare, I've seen them on seiko aftermarket mod bezels

Morning, /wt/.

>>15540028

I like that my Rolex is different than the more poplar models (Sub, GMT, etc.). I bought an OP36 (white dial) to wear to work every day with a suit so I think it works better for that purpose. No one notices the OP and that’s fine with me. I bought it for myself to enjoy anyway. It really is the perfect watch, IMO. I do like the Sub but it’s probably only my 3rd favorite diver.

>>15540028
Yeah, and Seinfeld ripped off Friends

>>15540088
I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you but everyone is noticing your OP. It's the quintessential Rolex. Dudes check out each others watches constantly, and after the ladies check out your smile and your butt they go right to the watch as it's the biggest tell of big bank.

The issue that the "under the radar" Rolex owner who gravitates to a less expensive model faces is that not only is everyone noticing your Rolex but they're now wondering why you can only afford the entry-level model.

>>15540095
D you have actual experience with women? Very few ever give a shit about your watch beyond maybe thinking it looks good on you. You're an Archie-tier shut-in autist.

t. Not rolex anon

It is literally impossible to wear a watch these days without looking like a stupid tryhard yuppie.

>>15540095
Get out into the real world. Nobody gives a flying fuck about your watch and most people are walking around with fitbits or apple watches. Women don't know the difference between a $10k watch and a $300 watch. I've even had a girl I was dating ask me why I wear a watch because "can't you just check the time on your phone?"

What should be my next watch? I have a Stowa Fliger 40mm in the post. Blue Seamaster will be going soon, just wanting to see them them sided my side.

Any nice champagne dials? Or lighter dial watches?

>>15540028
boring is the correct word to describe rolex
at least omega shits out actual new designs all the time
rolex changes a bezel colour after 10+ years and fangays wet themselves

>>15540033
i feel like ive seen rene watches before. No idea about CIF. probably pre quartz crsis swiss stuff

>>15540139
>Women don't know the difference between a $10k watch and a $300 watch.
ahahahahahahahahahahaha

>>15540060
Looks neat anon, congrats.

>>15540140

A proper watch like Rolex or JLC

>>15540140
Budget?

>>15540158
not him but its true
most normies(inc guys) dont know much about watches
women know very little about watches, the only female watch youtuber is only there because her husband is a giant luxury watch nerd/dealer. If their boyfriend/husband isnt into it they would know nothing at all
most people only have a vague notion that rolex/omega is expensive. And patek/RM is "even more expensive"
show them an 150k HH watch or a 5k semi luxury brand and they would have absolutely zero idea how much it costs or how they compare to each other.

How hard would it be to manufacture the faulty plastic wheel in the 52xx movements in vintage LM Specials? I'm wondering if I can CNC it out of metal.

>>15540184
can confirm, brought my vintage omega to normal leather shop so he could punch some holes, this guy literally just tosses the thing over the counter. Doesnt bat an eye.

Normies dont have a clue what is valueable and whats not with watches

>>15540192
>this guy literally just tosses the thing over the counter.
Sounds like the real problem here is you took your watch someplace where they treat it like shit. Why would you ever accept anyone tossing your watch?

>>15540147
Yeah. I think René is older, but fck, I can't find anything about them. It says 15 rubis swiss made but I don't think my greatgrandpa could afford a swiss watch

>>15540103
this is true but sometimes you do want to look like a yuppie

>>15540197
Because my usual guy went out of business and I didnt know. So in order to not waste the drive I went with a normal leather shop.

I didnt expect him to be so careless of other people stuff.

Safe to say if he knew the value he would treat it different.

in conclusion, normies dont know shit about watches and buying an expensive watch just because its expensive wont get you more attention

>>15540095
How is life in China/Hong Kong lmao

Root Beer GMT Master I'd say

>>15540078
You missed the fact the author of that very good article is Jack Forster. Now at Hodinkee and the only writer there who still actually writes about watches. His last article about the many little known difficulties of using platinum was hella-interesting. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-pros-cons-cost-and-convoluted-history-of-platinum

>>15540199
swiss = / = expensive
the whole trend of "expensive swiss watches" is relatively new in history. Before the quartz crisis swiss watches were cheap everyday things. In the 1920s? swiss watches would be the shitters of the watch world, english and american watches were actually top of the line then iirc. You can find all sorts of vintage swiss junk with only a few jewels in them. 15 is pretty decent for an old watch.

>>15540179
I was thinking the same thing, reverso or master control?

>>15540183
Anything under £10,000

>>15540216
I real don't like the root beer, brown on a watch turns me. I don't think it would even grown on me.

>>15540220
Interesting... Thank u for the info bro, aprecciate it

People in general don’t know shit about Rolex.

Girl I had in bed literally had my Explorer in her hands looking right fucking at it and asks “what kind of watch is this?” and after I tell her, she asks “this is a rolex??”

>>15540224

take the moon pill and buy the new JLC Master Control Calendar

>>15540230
She was obviously blind not being able to read the text on the dial and taking you to bed.

>>15540087
Based Hamilton bro

>>15540185
52s are fine, no brittle plastic parts. It's 56s with the plastic date correctors that often shrink and crack with age (though I've worked with 3 so far and all have been fine, but I've probably just gotten lucky). There's a guy who sells metal replacement parts (Vintage Time Australia), but it also takes some effort and equipment to attach it to the rocker.

>>15540061
What do you consider affordable?

>>15540061
>I really dislike the boring basic round shape everything has.

not exactly shitter prices nor small but hamilton ventura has a super unorthodox shape.

Thanks anon. Any other suggestions for watches with an unusual, but not gaudy shape?

>>15540158
it's true m8, don't be delusional like the guys on /fit/ that think women care that they deadlift 5pl8s

if you wear a nice timepiece, do it for yourself because nobody else cares

>>15540185
>>15540244
As proof, you can see the part here in a 5246 I recently opened. As you can probably see, it did have other problems, but nothing to do with age.

>>15540293
36 or 39?

>>15540278
My next watch is going to be a Zodiac Olympos
They have an asymmetrical shape

>>15540293

>>15540295
>>15540299

>>15540278
You can look for cushion shaped watches like this one, tutima military, Sinn also has a similar model, don't know if it's affordable or not, around 1,2k eur.

Rolex submariner vs Tudor submariner

>>15540278

I would think a brown watch goes well with a tweed jacket, do you not wear those? (I've never actually been to your island)

>>15540230
>and after I tell her, she asks “this is a rolex??”
And? Why did she think it wasn't? What did she imagine it would be? Let's hear the details.

>>15540334
i dont have a good way to measure unfortunately, shitty tape measure puts it somewhere near 2mm. I guess i will just have to buy a couple different sizes and wait an eon to get them from china

>>15540230
Even a girl who knows nothing about watches was able to instinctively tell that you had the poorfag rolex. The entire purpose of the explorer line is for people who can't afford to get a sub or a gmt master to still give Rolex money.

>>15540284
Thanks anon, I have a few coming from zenmarket so we'll see what state they're in when they arrive.

Grand Seiko's are just plain old ugly and feminine looking. Sure the movement is superior but frankly I'm not buying a watch that I have to look down at multiple times a day for it's movement.

>>15540446
>watch doesnt have a giant, chunky, overcompensating bezel

>>15540446
ironic post considering you think like a woman

>>15540358

She simply didn’t realize there were Rolexes other than the flashy blingy stuff you see on music videos.

She was impressed by it and joked around wanted to keep it. That kind of turned me on so after she put it on the nightstand I flipped her over and fucked her in the prone position until completion while somewhat choking her and whispering into her ear that she was a whore. She seemed to enjoy it.

>>15540462
Yeh.

>>15540474
And then you chainsawed her in half and left a business card that made Joe Pescatore jealous.

>>15540478

I don’t know what that’s a reference to but I definitely didn’t keep in touch with her. She was married and lives on the other side of the country. Also I don’t work with her anymore.

>>15540466

>>15540487
You shouldn't have sex with married women anon. Tsk tsk!

>>15540476
i have the watch for you...PERFECTO RELOGIO MASCULINO

>>15540179
>A proper watch like Rolex

>>15540492
Cool, that's one of the nicest looking LM Specials. 5216 also has a normal (gradual) date change as opposed to the instant change in 5206 and 5246, so if anything it has even fever parts that could fail. Still, hearing the snap and realizing that the date just changed without seeing it is very satisfying, and Seiko doesn't have it in that many movements even today. The 52 series really was excellent (so was the 56 series, it's just bad luck that the plastic they chose for that one part turned out to age poorly).

What watch is advised to use while shooting? I imagine mechanicals are not fit for the job, can I use my Casio AE1200?

i specifically wanted the OP b/c i wanted a modern rolex w/ a nice bracelet. i already have a 16570 and the bracelet leaves alot to be desired. i really wish rolex made a modern 36mm explorer.

>>15540230
That's why you buy an Invicta Pro Diver or other cheap hommage, I had multiple people ask if it was a rolex

What makes a good ladies' watch? Is pic related good?
Poljot 2209 something something

I wish Tissel has a warm toned version of TISELL 38mm Bauhaus Design 9015 automatic.

Silver colored watches makes me looks like a dead fish.

>>15540309
The black bays, especially the 58, should have kept to square indices.
That should've been the Tudor style. Leave the rounds to the rolex.

>>15540512
how is this brand still in business????

>>15540650
They have a niche in the market they cater for. Also some people unironically enjoy them.

>>15540626
Only bother with the japs for good ladies watches that aren't lady DJ or ladies quartz patek territory that's just an excuse to have diamonds.

Seiko, orient, citizen. Range from sensible/professional to fun and casual. Baby g for g-shock equivalent. Anything else that's not a dedicated, exclusive ladies model in the trad. 28 to 33mm sizes, a man's watch, and it's a statement that you may or may not want to be making.

>>15540626
Rose gold can do the trick on an otherwise unisex or masculine watch design.

>>15540626
it'll be hard to find a genuine NOS/good condition polijot, unless she doesnt mind patina. I think lines can be blurred and there are many unisex watches and mens watches that can be worn by women (and vice versa, even).

Sometimes I wonder if women even like all those OTT overly feminine designs with vines and flowers and jewels, and so many womens watches out there are bottom barrel fashion shitters with poor quartzshit movement inside.

junghans has a gold 34mm handwind.

>>15540462
Always loved that watch. Never seen a rubber strap like that either.

Is there anything like this that I can cop for cheap? All I want is a simple minimal watch, with clean small numbers, domed glass, thin hands and small markers. All the cheap minimal watches look really shitty. Where are the chink copies of these? I'm not paying like 350$ for a meme brand.

>>15540662
Yeah, I have a small wrist too boot (16.5 cm, so 5.25") and I want the watch to be appear small.

I really like Polijot's and Tisell Bauhaus' typeface a lot.

>>15540680
Watchface's background doesn't look very cold like Tisell's Bauhaus.

>>15540721
Looks like minimalist affordable luxury watch to me, also I prefer arabic/latin numeral to roman numerals or just blank marks

that's why I really dig the Tisell Bauhaus, because Bauhaus.

Thank you for your good opinion. I'll search something worth saving up and not a mall watch.

>mistaking junghans, one of the big names in bauhaus, for modern fashion watch
junghans is a 110% legit watchmaker, far more than tisell (which is to be honest, an AE brand, just korea owned). Junghans was founded before 1900.

in fact they created that design, in 1957. In comparison NOMOS (which most people think of 1st when they hear "bauhaus", didnt exist until 1990. (The earliest bauhaus watch designs was probably Stowa in 1930s)

>From Invicta's founding more than a century ago to the present day, innovative excellence has been at the core of each era and every collection throughout the brand’s history.

>>15540892
they took the money pill and are now doing better financially than many heritage brands

>>15540043
it looks decent enough, quite nice actually.
the movement is ETA so you shouldnt have any issues there. The $850 price is not as good as AE brands or glycine's "modified" ETAs (~$500) but its far far better than so many micro and semiluxury brands selling watches with ETA inside for $2000, $3000 (the fuck)

>>15540836
Literally the perfect watch for me:
Gold case
Roman numeral with sensible size (the fact they have a lot of numbers without me getting sick like with bigger number is a witchcraft)
Quartz (I couldn't care enough for mechanical winding, but not a deal breaker)

If Braun just have a rose gold case in small (32 mm-ish) is an insta-steal.

The hked is pretty decent for the money, as long as it works well when you get it i should keep on trucking for a while. A few anons have one and said it's surprisingly accurate, get the one with the plexiglass lense, the sapphire one looks wrong and fucks up the style of the watch.

alright lads, you gotta help me out on this one
can anyone ID this watch? my first guess is some casio g-shock but i can't seem to find one that matches this particular model

>>15541415
Are you sure? I remember people even told me it was better to not wear mechs while riding the bike.

>>15541437
If it's those dress watches with 30m water resistance then yeah

Dive watches can probably withstand the shocks

>>15541437
Shocks are not good for watches, but then remember mechanical watches born in the war and soldiers used them for decades, nowadays is mostly gshocks, but probably could be used in modern wars since people used mechanicals in vietnam.
Not using the watch in hard environments is mostly babysitting, same as not using a diver watch when swimming.

>>15541419

>>15541071
hmmm i actually think they're streamlining their portfolio and are taking industry opinion serious about their xbox huge watches and top heavy cases

>>15541134
I like the design, and both are from 1961, one has a near mint dial, and the other one has developed a beautiful patina on that sunburst dial due to a slight dent near the crown. The pictures don't do it justice, you can actually see every single sunburst line if you look up close, but from afar it gives a really unique color effect. pic related
>>15541305
I agree this model isn't the best looking yes, i was more focused on the champagne dial part...
>>15541268
>patrician choice
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And it's movement was the predecessor of the first automatic Grand Seiko 3 years later, the stunning 62GS. I couldn't be happier with it.
>>15541137
Sorry, not selling. I paid 120€ for it, which is a steal considering the condition it's in. Look around, there are many nice pieces out there still...

Is it just me or are Omegas ugly as FUCK.

Christ these things are ugly as sin.

>>15540888
Nah, when GS starts making their watches slimmer. I've been to the main store and I liked them but would rather have something g else over them, plus the braclets are subpower.

>>15541021

Only watch collection worth owning, change my mind.

>>15541021

It turns well, I've had 2 and they both ran well. +5 sec a day. I like this one more, use to have the blue dial one. The chrono buttons were better on the fist one, you have the press my sec one very positive so the active. £200ish its just my beater or if I go into London watch.

>>15540462
If they fully limed the hands and gave it a ceramic dial like the 30pm id buy one.

Should I get the 38mm tangente date of the 38.5 mm tangente no date automatic

Can anyone rec a good quality replacement clasp for the SKX oyster bracelet?

A lot of neg feedbacks on the strapcode oyster clasp. https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B00C58S82W/

oh yeah they released them with the oysterflex strap

>38600 eur
what the fuck

>>15541622
nautilus and aquanauts have the same problem you mong

>>15541659
The Celleni would honestly be fine if they cut the price.

They charge holy trinity prices for this thing, but you don't even get hand finishing.

>>15541526
Indeed they are. They just released two new movements, a spring drive and a hi-beat with a dual-impulse escapement, both slimmer than before and with longer power reserve. And out of nowhere a few days ago they unveiled an impressive concept movement, a tourbillion with a remontoire (constant force mechanism) with an accuracy (in lab conditions it must be said, but still) of +/- 0,5s per day.

>>15541664
>people wait 3-4 years to MAYBE get an Nautilus at $10,000 ABOVE MSRP.
>meanwhile, you can walk into any Vacheron boutique and get an Overseas.

why does everyone hate Vacheron?

>>15541671
nobody hates them, in fact I'm a firm believer that their prices are going to go way up as people realize their value and potential as an "investment watch" like a nautilus or RO
the only downside to them is they've had multiple generations that are significantly different, whereas nautilus and RO are pretty much the exact same

>>15541659
And those new Submariners will go straight to those rich chink tourists

>>15541676
Yeah the pre 2016 version looks downright ugly compared to the current overseas

thoughts on this air king date? being offered for 4k AUD

>>15541683
4k AUD? isn't that like $15 real currency? sounds like a cop

>>15541571
finally someone understands. it's truly a struggle

>>15541664
Are instagram faggots the ones keep driving up the hype of these watches or something

>>15541668
Neat. Hopefully this means the 3-hander GSs get smaller.

>people falling for the seiko meme

Seiko literally won't service your watch.

>>15541690
no, rappers and arabs
nautilus is the rolex for people who have way more money. it's the ultimate sign in money signalling because it's fairly well known so people will understand you're rich.

>>15541659
>cellini or skydweller
Those two are coincidentally the only Rolexes that move me, if i had the money i'd probably go for a blue Cellini.

>>15541686
$2.9k USD sounds pretty good

>>15541704
nice cocktail time, bro

>>15541704
If I have the money for a Rolex I'd buy a two tone skydweller with the champagne dial. Because that is the exact same combination as my dad's datejust.

How's this Cartier frens

>>15541723
I like the santos. want to try one on first though because I feel like there's a big chance it looks/feels different than I expect.

That's the smaller one with no date it probably fits fine/small on most men

my concerns: scratch magnet and possibly a bit too 80's rich yuppie larpy and doesn't match my usual style, but I like it

>Seiko literally won't service your watch.
I have my own watch guy that services all my watches. He is more competent than the guy at the only official Seiko service we have (small country ya know...) that wasn't even able to change the protruding box crystal i have scratched with custom made one, said it couldn't be done and that i'd have to wait for over a month for a new original one to arrive... So i went back to my guy and he did it easily, he even made it so it sits flush with the case now so the watch is like 2 or 3mm slimmer. So yeah, fuck Seiko's service, i trust my watch guy, he is cheaper too, and i can chat with him about movements and such and learn a thing or two.

>>15541603
You do realise that is Geneva, home of Rolex, and one of the main Rolex AD's there. The Swiss are all rich and the stock there will be much better than anywhere else.

i like watches with alpha hands. other than lange and christopher ward, anybody know of some?

Recently got a waltham 25 jewel self winding stainless steel watch, worth anything?
Super comfy watch but I dont want to daily drive it if it is worth something

>>15541830
just being hyperbolic, its not that big of a deal, merely a helpful feature.

that said, my current daily driver is a electric green/teal orient tristar with day/date and I love it a ton. Its such a charming shitter and flashes like a jewel in the sun, I can even fall in love with its heavy wobbly rotor that is clearly audible and feels like a mini shakeweight for my fingers.

just being hyperbolic, its not that big of a deal, merely a helpful feature.

that said, my current daily driver is a electric green/teal orient tristar with day/date and I am absolutely enamoured by it. Its such a charming retro shitter and flashes like a faceted emerald in the sun, I can even fall in love with its heavy wobbly rotor that is clearly audible and feels like a mini shakeweight for my fingers. The horizontal scooped textures reminds me of lazy waves lapping on a shore, the colour of tropical sea and sky combined. Its a cheap watch done right, with lots of heart. Love shitters.

>>15541864
not worth a lot money wise, maybe like $100 as that is a good condition. wear it

whens someone going to start making bezel inserts for the kamasu

you can buy actual vintage jump hour watches for much cheaper

I tried on the 1959 reissue navitimer today at a local AD. Its really nice. They said they would throw in a bracelet if i bought it. Too bad 8.6k is more than i would want to spend on a breitling

>>15542129
nice bezel edge bro

would you say this vintage air king date has soul?

>>15542166
No it has precision, duh.

>>15542166
Trash, buy a hodinkee travel clock instead

Who makes a no date 3 hander in steel 36mm and under? 34mm ideally

so an OP but not an OP and cheaper is good

aliexpress, cheapestnatostraps, bertucci has weird widths like 19,21. Squeezing a 20mm into a 19mm is not noticeable either.

Yeah I can't afford an Iphone either, it's a bit different than being able to afford it and pretending you're above it, than just being fucking poor.

36mm, perfect dress size. Some vendors will list it as "ladies" ,but ignore that as it is only to differentiate it from the normal dinnerplate 42mm one. The design is the same.

recommend me something

>>15542230
>>15542238
is it better to squeeze a 20mm into a 19mm or buy an 18mm

>>15542250
Yeah that's why you posted it from the side.

>>15542281
always squeeze bigger into smaller if you have no choice
a gap is far more noticeable. You will 110% see it and your OCD will never let you go.
with leather, nato, perlon, squeezing 1mm is fine. 2mm and up is where you will start to see it.

>>15542288
cool i wanted to buy this perlon strap and i was hoping the squeeze wouldn't be too noticeable with the material

>>15542281
Squeeze but for that BB36 I think wrapping the nato around in a particular way makes it flush but I can't confirm 100%

>>15542287
heres another 20mm into a 19mm
if you google you will find many, many accounts of people doing the same thing
>>15542291
perlon has gaps so its very forgiving, even more so. lesser with that denser premium perlon you have but it shouldnt be a issue at all

>>15542297
Another one where you can't see the strap properly, fuck off already.

>>15542270

Captain Obvious to the rescue! It's apparently a rare enough G-shock that theres no chink aftermarket cases and an original costs more than what the watch is worth, so I figured I'll go naked.

Right now it looks like more of a mall toy.

Anyone got any straps that would make it "more serious"

>>15542659
ETA is a big movement company,tons of watches used their movements so servicing is easier.

Stowa is a nice brand, they have a good finishing for the price but I don't know about limes so I don't know which one is better or worse.

Please don't put a diver on leather. Most diver owners bought a diver because they don't want to have to worry about their watch ever. It gives you options and peace of mind in any situation, which is why it's memed as a "man of action" watch a la Bond. Realistically it's just so I can walk to my car in the driving rain or jump in a pool at a moment's notice at a party, not so I can do a triple back flip off of a bridge while shooting six baddies and bringing a woman to orgasm, but it's the same "unconcerned" frame of mind.

Small hands, fake aged lume. I'd rather buy an explorer for that money.

Did someone say Rado? Your go-to maker for tungsten carbide cases to smash inferior brands with.
Don't know if anyone remembers me posting this 70's Diastar when I got it (a relative inherited it and passed it on to me, since it wasn't working, held no real emotional value and he was never ever gonna wear it). Since then I've gotten it working and it runs well, the only problem was a broken mainspring. It has a Rado-fied ETA 2789, which was pretty nice to work with. On paper the the specs are nice and but I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna wear it either, so thinking of selling it at some point.
