>gee Bill, TWO Marlins?!
these deals are killing me

First for eating lead paint chips

Reminder if you own a watch that's less than 10k you're a fucking faggot poor ass nigger. Nobody gives a fuck a bout your Seiko.

WHY ARE THERE NO LUXURY WATCHES WITH RED DIALS EXCEPT FOR THE SOULLESS ASS IWC REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
LOOK AT THE GRAND SEIKO ELEGANCE RED AND THE RED REVERSO AND TELL ME THOSE AREN'T MASTERPIECES THAT DESERVE TO BE MAINSTAIES I FUCKING DARE YOU

>>15594477

What watch do I want if I just want to be a guy with a cool watch, not a redditor watch collector nerd, I just want one watch to wear from 35 to 50, not go into all this oneupping bullshit where you have to upgrade every year and post new pics on the forums.

Does it really have to be a Rolex or I'll regret it?

>>15594480
>1.3k
who cares

>>15594465

that watch looks kind of cheap in person

>>15594481
Unironically a Vostok Amphibia, it will outlast you without any form of servicing even.

>>15594486
its 100$ watch what the fuck do you expect lmao

>>15594481
Try fishing for a classic Heuer Monaco, it's pretty recognizable.
Don't buy it new though.

>>15594481
Just buy a watch that pleases you in it's visual design. Nobody else cares about your watch nor will ever care.

The weeboo should fear the cheese maker

>>15594491
A famous TV show host in my country had that as his trademark watch for years, don't want to be seen as a ripoff of that. However, as soon as he got into big money, he upgraded to a bunch of Rolexes and more expensive shit.

>>15594493
true
I have been wearing various watches since I was 11 and in 30 years one person has ever complimented my watch, and it was a Seiko monster. More expensive watches just go ignored because the average person can't tell one watch from another.

>>15594506
I always surprise my friends by handing them my titanium seiko diver. It weighs like nothing despite it's size and bracelet.

>>15594486
and Seikos look hideous in every medium but that hasn’t stopped anyone

>>15594518
not true

>>15594465

Lolwut

>>15594481
I answered you last thread

>>15594481
Or this bad boy

real shit I'd rather wear no watch than a Seiko

>>15594521
I saw this watch in a wibdow today it was kind of underwhelming.

>>15594521
how do seikos manage to be boringly conservative and Vegas levels of gaudy at the same time, bros

>>15594528
>>15594525
Ehh...

>>15594533
im a big fan of it, which is why i bought it.

>>15594521
This looks pretty nice, but I just don't get who is it aimed at. It's a dress watch, so you're supposed to wear it with nice clothes, but who has the money for nice clothes and still wears a Seiko? Maybe it's for the "poor rich" i.e. poor people in rich countries where everyone can afford a suit and shit, but then they delineate between classes according to the suit brands and materials?

>>15594481
Rolex is the antithesis of what you are after it is all about one upman ship and showing off to watch nerd.

Do you really want an automatic that you will need to service etc over the years if you dont really care.


How much do you really want to spend if you dont give a shit about watches

>>15594553
>Rolex is the antithesis of what you are after it is all about one upman ship and showing off to watch nerd.
It seems more like a "one and done" option though, definitely more so than stuff like Tudor or TAG or Yema or whatever.

>>15594540
Maybe it looks better up close, i don't think your lighting is doing it any favours. It looks kind of flat and lifeless.

I really like the blue model with the textured dial. I have no use for a dress watch though.

>>15594550
yea i agree with you, i only dress every now and then. so ill mostly be using it with casual clothing. i ended up buying it cause i really love it, even though its a dress watch.
>>15594560
my phone has a really shitty camera it seems, dark lighting doesnt help either. i personally like how the dark brown and gold look, the dial is amazing as well

>>15594550
>>15594567
The Cocktail Times are not dress watches. They're too big and flashy for that. They are supposed to be for people who want a watch that is more restrained and classic than the typical big tooltastic dive watch but with more personality and flash than a typical dress watch. They are not meant to be a status thing and anyone who thinks so is retarded. They are just supposed to be a cool-looking casual watch that you can wear in a lot of different environments.

>>15594555
Rolex seem to occupy be platonic ideal of watches. I feel like you're listing watches with more personality that fill a niche. A rolex is clean and send a message to other people.

Id rather have an aqua terra than a date just.

>>15594573
>They are just supposed to be a cool-looking casual watch that you can wear in a lot of different environments
perfect. but i have to disagree with you on the size, maybe you have a small wrist but it looks small on my wrist. i think my size is 7.8 or something

>>15594573
>not dress watches. They're too big and flashy for that.
That's why I love the look, but I would still definitely classify it as a dress watch.

Reminder that the Presage cocktail times are pigfat and ugly.

Who are allowed to wear rectangular watches and when? How do you pull them off? Should I buy a Reverso as my first watch? Or will it look Reversoy on a 19 year old?

>>15594582
I hate the word "Jewel"

>>15594573
Yea i can see that. They are the cravat to the dress watch black tie.

>>15594589
It's going to look like your dad paid for it.
Because that's the case.

>>15594604
no i am paying for it with my inheritance from my grandparents which i think is a sweet purpose fuck you

>>15594523
show me a seagull that’s doesn’t have dumbtarded text for less

>>15594577
Your wrist is unusually large. The average wristwatch wearer has a 6.5-7 inch wrist

>>15594607
Right, so you're still not the one paying for it, your grandparents are.
Any luxury watch will look out of place on someone so young.
Just be aware of that.

>>15594607
Not not make assumptions about your style but a reverso is a oretty dressy watch for a19 year old? I think using grandparents money to busy something a little more multipurpose would be nicer. A steel sports you can dress up or down.

>>15594589
It's the best shape

>>15594619
how old are you guys then?
http://www.strawpoll.me/21001852
>>15594623
"multipurpose" just means characterless. like i could buy a master ultra thin but it doesn't express enough individuality like the iconic reverso does. and rectangular watches are really uncommon, and the reversable case is extra swag for the normies

>>15594630
>normies
go back

>>15594630
>the reversable case is extra swag for the normies
Normies will not give a shit about your watch, especially in your age range.

>>15594630
Buy the watch you want

>>15594630
I think the current reversos also have a steel bracelet. That'll make the watch look less dressy or something.

>>15594630
I dunno just get a cartier santos if you want a squareish watch to "swag on normies" at least they will have heard of the brand like jlc.

I mean do whatever i dont give a shit

>>15594615
I have 8.5 and it doesn't seem that big to me at all.

>>15594630
>extra swag for the normies
Holy shit shut the fuck up

>Day 6 of waiting for my Stowa to arrive

>>15594642
fashion is inherently social, about expressing yourself, signalling your philosophy and by extension "flexing". would you buy and wear watches if no one saw them?

>>15594657
Yes. Some of us have jobs and need to keep time.

>>15594657

Uhh...

>>15594673
At least the money goes to the watchmaker instead of a large conglomerate

>>15594663
Going to the antique market, haggling some semi-functionnal watch to the lowest possible price, or pay some kid to steal it, then mend it yourself.
if that's your worldview, then you should not buy from any company, ever. They're all in it. All of them.
ESPECIALLY the swiss, and no, the japanese are no exception. All of them exploit loopholes to get labels, all of them outsource and profit from the global open market to get cheaper labour, etc.

Anon...I think it's gone for good.

Should I cop? It's a poor man's navi and it's quartz but it looks really good (I think)

>>15594774

You will never be poor if you are rich at heart.

It's very nice anon and you should buy it if it makes you happy.

>>15594774
How much is it?
Would you be happier if you saved up for a Breitling?

>>15594673

Because there were never luxury goods before capitalism

>>15594799
I don't have 8k to drop on the one I really like.

>>15594774
>>15594799
i literally can't tell the difference outside of the logo and other details, do you really think other people will? Is that worth 5k USD or more anon?

>>15594821
I'm pretty sure you can get every shiteling ever made at half price on the gray market

>>15594823
>>15594799
It's around 350 dollars, and I could get it for a lot less used. The cheapest Navi in that style on the gray market goes for 4700 USD

>>15594774
Buy what you like.
That's rule 1. There's no point in wasting money on something that you won't be happy with

>>15594830
Could get the sinn navi timer its going to be a lot cheaper and easier to service. Still going to be 10x the price.

If the rotary is gonna make you happy buy it. Have you seen one in person?

>>15594582
I still want one though

>>15594851
Yeah I have, it looks nice, and the parts that grind my gears are minor gripes, like the date window and the position of the numerals. I'm not really fussed about it being a quartz movement seeing as it's much cheaper. If anything I'd like to get it as a stop gap until I can really afford a Navi.

Wait am I understanding this correctly? All these mechanical tool watches are basically just homages to the good ol' days because if someone would actually do military stuff or do extreme diving with them, they would probably break after a few deployments? Also they seem to be really unreliable, don't all these guys basically use digital or quartz watches nowadays? Is the entire watch industry just a big larp?

>>15594884
in short

>mechanical = soul
>quartz = soulless

>>15594884
>Is the entire watch industry just a big larp?
Yes, except Casio

>>15594884
>Is the entire watch industry just a big larp?
ding-ding-ding

>>15594892
>real military operators use G-SHOCKS
The only veritas.

>>15594886
>>15594889
>>15594892
so basically the entire "point" of mechanical watches is to create a unnecessarily ultra-complex, sub-optimal and high cost solution to a larp use case?

i think the only watches i can take seriously are dress watches because doing something for the heck of it is the point of fashion and they are part of it, and stuff like eco drive citizens and casios

>>15594899
No.
This is kind of like pocketknives where people want THE WORLD'S STRONGEST KNIFE LOCK and 23rd century supersteels so they can have their Trusty Ol' Knife just like granddad had. Only granddad was using some shitty slipjoint knife with no lock, and using it 10x harder.
The guys jumping out of airplanes and shit in wars and diving in the ocean were using watches that were in all honesty shittier than now, banged out of a workshop by some dude at a desk who probably didn't QC it all that much or even particularly care about materials and all the parts came out of the same factories in Switzerland which wasn't even the best place for watchmaking for years.
The average shitty 300 dollar Seiko dive watch is capable, if not much more capable, of doing all the hard use stuff watches did in the old days, and people buy these watches but are afraid to even wear them while jogging. It's unnecessary babying. That's the LARP. These watches are capable, and the tradition is somewhat real, if embellished, but the end users are all full of shit.

>>15594915
Pretty sure people are too scared of taking a submariner to a swimming pool.

>>15594899
>so basically the entire "point" of mechanical watches is to create a unnecessarily ultra-complex, sub-optimal and high cost solution to a larp use case?
Yes... but what's wrong with that? Life's too short for "muh practicality" and mind you, you are in /fa/shion board.

>>15594918
People are literally too scared to wear their Sub outside. Might get robbed. Might scratch it and damage the resale value.

>>15594884
You are under the mistaken assumption that people buy watches as tools. That is no longer true and hasn't been for many decades.

>>15594928
It was true in the 50s-60s but yeah that time is long past.

>>15594915
but these soldiers, divers and pilots in the 40s and 50s didn't have access to quartz or digital watches. yeah they probably could rely on their watch to show the right hour but then there was also a 10% chance or so that it breaks completely. my point is, this entire use case and specs argument goes out the window and i am not shitting on all mechanical watches, i just shit on the larp divers mainly. something like jacob&co i can totally get behind because those people just want to build a little piece of art and not be "the official watch of the dutch queens boat club protector league"

>>15594884

I’ll be laughing at you with my bolt action rifle and mechanical watch when the EMPs hit

>>15594921
>mind you, you are in /fa/shion board

>>15594899
>unnecessarily ultra-complex, sub-optimal and high cost solution

It's the same as supercars. Pretty sure people don't use them to commute to the office on weekdays.

Evening and happy weekend, boys. Even you angry fellers. Wish y'all good fortune and happiness this weekend.

>>15594884
>All these mechanical tool watches are basically just homages to the good ol' days because if someone would actually do military stuff or do extreme diving with them, they would probably break after a few deployments?

Diver watches can or at least should be able to be used when diving with no problems, they are not really used because there are better watches so mechanical watches are basically a relic or used when swimming.

Quartz watches are way superior to mechanical ones, the industry tried hard to become elititst, trying to sell mechanical watches as something for people with money, since quartz was adopted widely for everyday use.They found their niche in nostalgy and people wanting to spend money.

>>15594921
>so basically the entire "point" of mechanical watches is to create a unnecessarily ultra-complex, sub-optimal and high cost solution to a larp use case?
Yes, in terms of raw utility, quartz beats mechanical every time, mechanical is nice because is mechanical, not because it is better and many times is being seen as a status simbol, see how many people here berate cheap watches and call poorfag for posting entry level mechanical watches. My cheap casio Royale has 4 timezones, countdown timer, 24h chrono, light, and at least two alarms, it also has a 10 year battery. No single mechanical watch can have all of that, even the best watch at most will just have a perpetual calendar, which is an amazing mechanical feat but it tells the date as well as my cheap casio, which is also pretty small and does not weight anything.


>>15594922
>People are literally too scared to wear their Sub outside. Might get robbed. Might scratch it and damage the resale value.
I will never understand that, buying something you will rarely use because it scares you and it would lessen its value.

>>15594774
Looks pretty good for a homage. Just bee yourself.

>>15594884
>>15594954
When AP introduced the Royal Oak back in 1972 they priced it higher than their gold dress watches despite being made of stainless steel. It saved the company.

Now you get years long waitlists if you want one today. They're that popular.

>>15594942
they kinda do tho, and they are more comfortable to drive even if you don't use 100% of their potential which you could still do on the weekends on a private track or airfield. yeah they're both luxury goods but a supercar can do something better than a honda civic while a mechanical watch is worse in every way.

>>15594952
Do you wear your automatic whilst shooting? Won't that fuck up the internals? I imagine it would apply to hand wound ones as well, but less so.
>>15594938
Jacob&Co are trash jewelry makers. On par with "minimalist" watches like MVMT and Daniel Wellington.

>>15594974
my point about jacob was that they don't pretend to be a tough, tool watch with a mechanical movement which simply makes no sense and is the definition of a larp. they just want to build stuff that looks and feels fun and artsy to the point of ridiculousness

>>15594964
Anon... the AP Royal Oak was considered a farce when it first came out. It took like, a decade to sell the original run. People were outraged at the sight of it. Called it hideous. They would politely nod and then turn the corner and say "AP is done for."
It only became popular later on as some kind of ironic meme.

>>15594974
I haven't worn the Hammy shooting yet but have worn a handful of other autos shooting plenty, sometimes courses where I'll chew through 1,500+ rounds in a day. Have never noticed any consequences but have been mindful of that volume of high impulse wear and expected it to be more of an issue than it has been. Handguns especially, since the hands/wrists/arms eat a majority of that impulse.

>>15594981
Yeah I forgot to add that part.

My point was despite cheap quartz watches being everywhere back then people would still buy mechanical and that kept AP afloat.

So there's really no respectable tool watch anymore, what a sad time.

>>15594998
your phone you hipster faggot

>>15594998
There's always the Sneedmaster but solely because of its heritage.

>>15594998
It's called a G-Shock 5600

>>15594999
I don't have a cell phone dude, why would you have one when you know what they're for?

>>15595007
Does anyone ITT have the "titanium" kit for it? I don't remember ever seeing any pics but I know people were talking about it.

>>15595013
Just go to aliexpress and search for G-Shock titanium case or whatever it all comes from the same factory.

>>15595020
Yes I know but I'm wondering if anyone here has had it for a while, does it feel shitty, does it get scratched easily, that sort of stuff.

>>15595030
There's been a couple people here who had them and they say it's great. The finishing and quality is about the same as the real deal.

>>15595036
>>15595013
definitely like the steel (MARDI GRAS EDITION) besides the fact that the band is was hard to put on. If I get another gshock I’ll likely get the titanium.

>why yes that is a gshock. Thank you for noticing.

There's your problem.

>>15595074
no he's right.
watches are mostly for fashion now. even if you use your watch regularly as a tool there is a large amount of self expression in your choice of watch.

>>15594884
>>15594899
Not everyone is a spec op, retard. Normal people need watches too.

>>15595087
Or do they?

>>15594954
>I will never understand that, buying something you will rarely use because it scares you and it would lessen its value.
You will when you grow up.

>>15595087
>Normal people need watches too
not true at all when everyone has a cell phone

>>15595094
Since I've been wearing a watch way before smartphones exist I'd rather just glance at my watch if it's just to see the date and time

>>15594974
>>15594983
What cheap field watch should I get for shooting/hiking? I like the Citizen Field Solar but I dislike the day date window and it's a bit expensive at €165 for what I plan to use it for but I like the idea of solar.
No Timexshit, it falls apart, I've seen.

PVC or SS?

>>15595077
Fashion is only temporary, it doesn't encompass classic style.

>>15595117
seiko

>>15595123
What model? Seiko has shitty style for cheap models.

>>15595117
The world's your oyster, holmes. I honestly default to a simple g-shock for most abusive applications these days. SS is a good choice, relatively resilient and corrosion resistant assuming it's of relative quality like a 316L. Seiko and Citizen both make plenty of affordablr field style watches worth browsing if you want hands and a dial. I have an SNK that has taken ungodly abuse over the years and keeps ticking. It's not very accurate and nothing special, but it continues to work.

No one wears mechanical watches to do serious stuff. Don't fall for the marketing memery.
I've been in the army and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has a Casio or Casio lookalike digital on their wrist. There are a few suuntos here and there and one of my friends wore a popewatch but thats it.

>>15595128
I don't want a mech, I want an analog quartz for those activities. Not a big one.

>>15595134

can anyone tell me what she’s wearing?

>>15595134
I was in a very...active...unit from 2005 to 2013. By the time I ETS'd Suunto was hugely popular. You're right about the Casios though, G-Shocks could be found on most wrists along with a foretrex.

>>15595149
Finner

>>15595149
A bikini and shorts.

>>15595138
This is true. I did forget that, that is my mistake. I do wish, however, that my country would give us standard-issue speedmasters.

>>15595140
There are your standard square ones, the f91s, illuminators, w800hs etc, there are g-shocks, square, round, even a pink baby-g that somehow ran out of battery, there's a dude rocking a world timer.
Then there's the lot with no-name casio clones that has that casio aesthetic but probably came out of some factory in rural China at 4 cents a pop. Theres actually a lot of them.
Then there's everything else; some madman came in with a 300-dollar eco-drive. A guy wore a big, gaudy green swatch. Theres probably more but I have the memory of a goldfish.

>>15595137

>>15594998
> So there's really no respectable tool watch anymore
Brands like Sinn & Damasko would disagree.

>>15595174
It's not the worst line up in the world. Casios are more utalitarian and unassuming than Citizen and with more functions (Alarm, Chrono, etc). Let me just say that Citizen make trash like pic-rel as well.

>>15595174

Recommend me a nice bronze watch at around or under 400 to 500. Just for the novelty.
Ideally under 40mm, but I doubt there are a lot of those these days.

>>15595213

Post naked dials.

>>15595436
Stop wearing the watch on your hand, troglodyte.

>>15595436
I bought mine 3 years ago, only 1 small scratch after daily use because I like caring about my stuff even if its cheap. I wear mine on a Orient milanese bracelet from another shitter,makes the watch more comfortable and gives it a different look.

>>15595460
I really love the color scheme. Have it on a $5 20mm leather strap but I'm getting a cheap engineer bracelet for it soon.

I almost always have it on the time zone cycle mode. While I do track two other time zones, I mostly do it because it's cool.

>>15595577
Like any other watch?
Short = hour
Long = minute

>>15595581
yea but without any dots or something, you wont be accurate with your time

>>15595584
The 5 minute increments are marked and half of all watches don't have single-minute indices, so I don't see the problem here.

>>15595584

>Day 21 of waiting for my elektronika to arrive

>Day 16 of waiting for my Casio A1000 (Silver)
I'm quite excited. Honestly, surprised myself. I'm usually not the "materialistic type", or at least I thought so.
A nice poster in this general revealed to me that Casio made a cleaner stainless steel version of their retro watches so I treated myself with one, to replace my old Casio A168.
Love the look of these digital watches and the Casio A1000 probably looks less like a toy, a bit more mature. They're so useful, too. One watch for everything because it also has digital stopper.
I run with it, I workout with it, I shower with it and I obviously use it to tell the time.

>day 600 of waiting for my Vostok to arrive
I received news that the horseback deliveryman was attacked by a buryat raiding party and his current condition is unknown. I am planning a rescue operation but sadly, we have no watch to synchronize since, well, mine was stolen by steppes raiders before I could get my hands on it.
I have positions open for a helicopter pilot, a demolition specialist and an interpreter fluent in at least russian, yakut and kolyma. Please email me if you are interested. I will pay handsomely in brand new nato straps.

After spending eight days in purgatory outside Liege airport, my item has now been moved to a PostNL sorting center.
Hopefully it will make its way to Denmark soon.

false, but true

I like it a lot.
The blue is very understated, to the point where it appears black at many angles. It does appear very brilliant in others.
Only thing I dislike about it is the garbage lume but honestly I'd buy a seiko if I wanted lume.

Bulova computron, several models, kinda cheap

>never swims, never goes diving,actually doesn't know how to swim

Steel bracelet on divers meme is the ultimate larp, you put the comfiest bracelet, you don't say you don't put leather because divers do not wear leather.If you like steel aesthetic, ok, but don't say it is because water damages the leather or traditionally divers had steel.


On that position looks it is pushing the limits, but if you want to see the real appearance, put your arm on your chest, extended hand or fist, that way your arm will have the highest circumference, when you check the time the arm is not at the natural position and its at its narrowest point. My wrist width its 51mm at that position and 630mm when relaxed.

>>15596258
I mean
I don't plan to dive with it

>>15596254

>>15596273
The official price on the bulova is pretty high compared to what is now, you can easily find them for about 210-300 at grey market sites like chrono24.It's not exactly cheap or expensive, but the watch for sure looks unusual and retro as fuck, and I don't think there is a lot of led watches out there, specially from big brands.

Being afraid of using something you spent money on is usually due to buying something above your means, which makes you a turbo brainlet. In this case europe is becoming increasingly less safe and people are being killed for their expensive watches. No one wants to be beaten because they flaunt their wealth.

>>15596215
What strap is that?

>>15596306
>>Being afraid of using something you spent money on is usually due to buying something above your means, which makes you a turbo brainlet.
Yeah ok everyone should live in a cave except you fuck off

Why did I listen to you fags and send my Heuer out for service instead of just wearing it

>>15596267
But I swam with it before, both fresh and salt water.

Also in my climate I sweat a lot so a leather strap won't last long before it gets stinky.

suggest me a watch please my effay friends

You won’t make that mistake again. You don’t need service unless the watch is actually not running

this watch is difficult to photograph cause everything is so shiny but you get the idea

You can put it on whatever you want anon, but without a doubt will look better on a calfskin strap.

>>15596348

Quartz is probably a good choice for you.

Look into the Grand Seikos with the 9F movement.

Just search on Chrono24.com for Grand Seikos under $2k and you’’ll see a ton of options. The SBG.. models look like the one in your pic and are usually <38mm.

>>15596358
Yes I do. What a nice watch, anon. I'll snag a GS eventually.

>>15596385
Very good, enjoy it.

>>15596394
I hope you do, but in all honesty that SARX has finishing thats Omega tier and blows out anything in it's price range.
Nice watch.

Has anyone replaced the 7S26 in a SNK809 or a similar Seiko with a tiny recessed crown with an NH36? (Or are there any 4R36 seikos with a similar crown, the Presages and new 5s at least all seem to have a big one?) I'm wondering if you can grip the crown well enough to easily use the hand winding.

>>15596394
>I'll snag a GS eventually.
And this is the problem with watches. You have such a nice watch, but no, you have to one up yourself and get the same shit but more expensive.

>>15596407
It certainly does have far better finishing than anything near its price bracket. Just have to sacrifice on movement to get it. Not that the 6R15 is terrible, just a workhorse automatic that's in the bucket with the old NH3x/4R3x movements and the likes. I'd be going after GS for the buttery smooth sweep along with the finish.

You should get one of these fantastic citizen quartz beauties. Super wearable, impeccably finished goes with anything.
You can get them in a few different colors and they are just beautiful watches, ±10 seconds per year accuracy, perpetual calendar so you never have to fuck with it except to set it after a battery change.
This is a flagship halo product from citizen and they are only sold on the Japanese market.

Didn't say immediately, anon. I'm very content with the watches I own currently. Long term a GS is on the bucket list though.

>>15596346
whats actually going on with your watch right now anon? i remember you sent it out to service somewhere and it got stuck for a while and then you got it back. Did you send it out again?

>>15596420
That's like anything in life. Once you get used to a certain level of quality in something it is very hard to go back down a level.

>>15596422
Oh you said leather.
https://www.shoppinginjapan.net/ab9000-01a-leather
https://www.shoppinginjapan.net/citizen-ctq57-0934
However i would strongly suggest getting one with the bracelet because if you decide you want it later it will be impossible to find or cost $500. Leather straps really only last a few years if you wear them all the time so get the bracelet and then buy a leather strap to throw on it, you can get great ones for around $50, even the fancy ass alligator ones can be had for $150 to $250.

>>15596421
This one doesn't sweep? What the fuck?

Nah, try drinking eagle reserve for a year and then switching to old crow.

>>15596437
wat the fuck are you talking about? once you've had In-N-Out you can't go back to McD's

>>15596439
Sure it does, but it's pretty standard mid-level automatic grade. Mediocre accuracy and plenty of tick as opposed to impeccable accuracy (for an automatic) and a smooth, almost tick-free sweep.

>>15596437
Not sure cuck makes a lot of sense here, anon. There's nothing wrong with setting goals and upgrading down the road, in any facet of life or personal possessions.

>>15596445

hard disagree, I fucking love me some McD's on occasion
plus I have some cheaper watches, like a SARB and they still give me a kick they just ain't full tilt autismo-japanese luxury is all.

>>15596429
Yep, that happens when you buy a Casio.

>>15596455
I'm not making the same case regarding steps in quality, I still appreciate and wear the shit out of my cheapest watches. Just making a case for setting goals and working towards bigger and better in the future.

>>15596458
yeah ok, makes sense mang
I just gotta stop buying watches for a bit. Chronograph would be next tho, thinking something like a El Primero, Monaco or maybe even a Sinn 356. We'll see...

>>15596348
Why don’t you get the watch in your picture? You should be able to get it in your price range in the grey market or used.

where is a good place to buy an older Omega Seamaster? I like the look of those, and i Had one before, but lost it in my divirce

>>15596459
That's probably my next watch buy as well. Just missed a hell of a deal on a discontinued Hamilton khaki field chrono on r/watchexchange (redd*t, I know). Probably for the best. Guy was getting rid of it for $350 and it was damn near the perfect chrono with regards to design and size for me. I've been fighting off the urge to say fuck it and overpay for a grey/used market speedy for years. Really hoping I can keep that up and get myself into something more reasonable.

>>15596445
in-n-out is overrated garbage. you either get boring ass food or boring ass food with a bunch of gross sauce on top. id rather go to mcdonalds

>>15596465
damn shame you missed it. there will be other deals.
I was actually leaning more towards the Bronze/Salmon dial 356 since it's quite unusual and attractive.
I pretty much wear black/grey exclusively so watches are the only thing I wear that are colourful. Don't want any watches with the same dial colour.

>>15596477
That's a damn good looking watch. What's the going rate on those?

>>15596480
depends, theres 2 version of it (that I'm aware of anyway) one with the Valjoux and another with a SW500 and a display caseback.
I think there might be one up on r*ddit rn, but I think the normal going rate is around 1.5-2k.
Surprised theres not more interest in it since Baltic made a limited salmon dial chrono thats going for around that second hand and it's got a GODDAMN ST19 SHIT TIER MOVEMENT IN IT WTF IS WRONG WITH PPL

>>15595276
I know I shouldn't engage in whataboutism, both Casio and Citizen have their hits or misses.
