/fa/ - Fashion

First for have a great weekend.

>>15596688
>Named after Bradley Snyder, an ex-naval officer who after losing his eyesight in an explosion in Afghanistan in 2011, went on to compete in and win gold and silver medals in swimming at the 2012 Paralympics in London. Eone says that Mr Snyder was the inspiration for the watch and that they have worked together with him and others with visual impairments to create a timepiece that allowed them to easily tell the time.
>To accomplish that, the watch uses an open dial – it is a watch without a sapphire crystal or watch hands in the traditional sense – allowing the wearer to touch the indices. To tell the minutes and hours, two small metallic balls function as the hands of the watch, with the minute ball situated on the top of the watch, while the hour indicator is a ball in a groove cut into the profile of the titanium case. This allows those with visual impairments to reach to the timepiece and determine the location of the metallic balls by touch, and hence tell the time with relative ease.
>Inside the Eone Bradley is a Swiss quartz movement that has been modified in a way so that it comprises two small but rather powerful magnets that carry the two balls around their course. Should you accidentally (or on purpose) move any of the balls out of place and break the bond between it and the magnet, the ball will just float around inside the groove – but never fall out – while with a flick of the wrist, they snap right back into their place as the magnets are amply powerful to catch them.

So I am not an expert, but why would someone buy this watch? At the 100k range, shouldn't you buy one of the Trinity? And isn't IWC a little soulless as a whole? My boss bought it when he turned 50, do you think he knows about watches at all, or did he just look at the Tourbillon go vroom vroom and buy it without much thought? He isn't the most fashionable person either. To me IWC is just extremely boring and minimalist. I don't know, maybe I am a coping poorfag and you guys consider it a good cop

>>15596702
>100k for that
there are far cheaper and/or more beautiful memebillions
thats an odd choice, maybe he just felt an connection with it for some reason

>what the watch reminds me of

First for officially certified by nasa spacewatch.

what watch would YOU GUYS buy fo around 100k? assuming you aren't allowed to spend the money on anything else other than one watch
honestly none of the 200k+ watches appeal to me, i would still buy a JLC reverso, maybe a limited edition one

>>15596741

>>15596741
isnt this reverso a quartz?

>>15596741
PP calatrava or a VC patrimony.
I was going to say the PP split seconds chronograph but apparently the costs closer to a quarter million dollars.

>>15596750
no, manual

>>15596739
>https://www.forbes.com/sites/jesseshanahan/2018/08/22/nasa-confirms-the-existence-of-water-on-the-moon/#44f222df21bf

If there is water ont he Moon, there is a chance of mud being on the moon too.And Mars also has the high chance of having mud.

Mudmaster is the future.

>>15596702
I don't care how much money you have, if you spend 100k on a watch you are a stupid asshole.
t. Has more money than he will ever need

>>15596759
if money still means anything to you, then 100k watches are not for you

>>15596756
looks like the christian bale reverso. I love manual over auto too. How much would you need to invest for one of these?

>>15596761
it is 7.5k in my store
is the reverso the most iconic square watch? are there even any "better" square watches produced or do all higher brands focus on round ones?

>>15596702
Vintage Rolex explorer 36mm, repair it until it looks like new, and that's all,It's the only expensive watch I like, the rest of the more expensive and higher tier watches are gaudy and or oversized shit.

>>15596760
Per my original post, I'm fortunate to never have to worry about money again from the standpoint of living, traveling and enjoying life. I COULD buy a 100k or 200k watch if I had the desire. On principle alone I never could and never would. You have to be an absolute trust fund grade asshole to ever consider doing that. Guess you have to earn your fortune from scratch to have that mentality.

>>15596763
Santos and Tank are way more iconic.
Santos is also infinitely more sexy and beautiful than the reverso.

>>15596763
you are right. I think the reverso is perhaps even the most iconic non-circular watch. The design goes back for so many years that it is impossible to get a more recognizable piece almost.

>>15596763
>is the reverso the most iconic square watch?
1) its not a square
2) no, the Cartier Tank is arguably more iconic than the Reverso

>>15596768
>Santos and Tank are way more iconic.
>Santos is also infinitely more sexy and beautiful than the reverso.

they are on a complete different level. Santos is supposed to be worn with a dirty trash bracelet. In addition I hear more people talk about the reverso than cartier tanks.

This is due to the actual reversing design I suspect, it makes it more interesting.

who do i trust?

Is it worth repairing this watch? This was my wife’s grandfather’s watch. It is an Advance PUR54921W. I can’t find anything online about it.

Battery might have corroded not sure yet.

>>15596702
If I had 100k I would literally be able to buy a house in my country and provide for my family until I die with no worries, so I could actually do the things I like to do and maybe make a business out of them. Fuck everyone who has that amount of money, hope there's another revolution soon.

>>15596764
I do love the old explorer 36mm, especially with a patina thats actually a patina and not just fucked like picrel
I feel like the sarb017 has a similar vibe if only for it's quirkyness. It's strange numerals, out-there colour scheme and completely pointless compass somehow give me a autismo-nip-explorer vibe that I do dig

>>15596782
I think it is always nice for a personal collection to have a inherited piece, no matter what it is.

If you agree and you have some emotional attachment to the watch than it is defintely worth fixing.

The green Neptunes are back in stock on Meranom.

>>15596786
I hate it when there is fucking water damage on a vintage watch, or some straight up scratches in the dial and the seller is like "nice patina shows it had life"

>>15596767
>On principle alone I never could and never would. You have to be an absolute trust fund grade asshole to ever consider doing that. Guess you have to earn your fortune from scratch to have that mentality.

>spending money on things you like is being an asshole
Think about $1000. 1k is not a lot of money to you or I. But to a starving 3rd world villager you would also seem like "an asshole" to even consider spending $1000 or even $500 on a watch. Its all a matter of perspective.

Some people like to spend their money on cars, some on travelling, some on rare collectibles--even though they might live frugally on other aspects of their life. If the watch that makes them happy happens to cost 100k, why not?

>b-but what about children and family
thats not the argument and not everyone has children or obligations

>>15596795
theo and harris is real fucking bad for that. literally rusting watches sold as 'tropical'
I feel like that explorer is acceptable, even preferable because of it's wear tho.

Found my old high school watch at my parents - no longer runs and has massive scratches on the glass - should I bother getting it fixed / a new battery

>>15596798
>If the watch that makes them happy happens to cost 100k, why not?

people should not get a 100k watch because people like that could also just spend 98k on a watch and give a 2k one to me desu

>>15596802
>should I bother getting it fixed / a new battery
why not?
it wouldnt even cost that much to do both.

>>15596805
nobody owes you anything

>>15596808
>nobody owes you anything

Did I say so you fucking faggot?

>>15596812
yes

>>15596805
"people like that could also just spend 98k on a watch and give a 2k one to me desu"

>>15596813
where do you see the word 'owe' or 'should give me'

learn to read you child

>>15596783

who is going to create nice watches for you if there is no incentive to get rich by making and selling them?

Another day, another thread where poorfags claim being wealthy is immoral.
Me, i dress for less, at Ross

>>15596688
Its nice that there is a thread about watches because this is my first time on /fa (im from /pol) and i came here to maybe get help. Ive seached a lot online and i cant seem to find the model of my seiko. Its a Seiko 5, and the only thing i could find about it lies in the very bottom of the dial. It says on one side, of the 6h mark "Japan 6119" and "6070T AD" on the other side. Apparently 6119 is a movement from the 60s which would place this seiko in an old category. But i cant find any like mine. I have searched i a lot of places and i cant find one just like mine. Is it rare? What is the model? Pic related is the watch

>>15596830
It looks like shit.

>>15596830

What’s the latest on the jews, George Soros and pizza restaurants?

>>15596816
>what is implication
fucking ESL beggar
I have more than 160k right now but I would rather give it to a cam girl (and you can stay mad)

>>15596830
seiko5s by nature are not rare (the opposite, really), but being vintage might make it rarer. Ya the chunky indices look 60s/70s

>>15596830
>I'm from pol
>Swarthy as fuck
The alt-right is a hispanic movement.

>>15596841
So you are telling me that if i keep it for another 10years and flip it i can make some cash? I bought it for 75$ from an old man during the lockdowns. I think i was a nice price. Its serviced and stuff

>>15596801
>iterally rusting watches sold as 'tropical'
Tropical, lmao, thanks anon,didn't knew these faggets and I got a good laugh.

>>15596842
Im Poortuguese, im tan, yes.

>>15596841
Why would you just assume something without it being explicitly said?

If you are a retard making mental hoops like you are doing you probably think you are always right. Because you just imagine anything you want to read/hear through "implication".

Imagine thinking ESL is an insult lmao.

Started lurking watch threads last month and decided to start a small collection of mostly $100-$200 watches, probably one of something more expensive to top it off. I ordered a blue Mako II and a SNKL45 to start but after sitting around a week waiting like a kid for Christmas Amazon lost the fucking package in their warehouse or something and they refunded me.

I was hanging out with my pops and he was going through his stash of casio's and giant Invicta's when we found pic related. He suspects he might of got it when he was selling cars but family was poverty tier forever so there is no way it's real. It's automatic and looks pretty cute on me so I'm wearing it for now.

I still plan to get my Orients and Seikos but would it be shameful to buy a "replica" milgauss, and maybe speed master? they are gorgeous.

>>15596852
>t if i keep it for another 10years and flip it i can make some cash? I bought it for 75$ from an old man during the lockdowns.
maybe if you meet a seikohead you might make some little cash. Seiko5s are the lowest grade seikos in the market, they are meant to be entry. Does the watch work(run)?
this looks to be your model
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gents-Vintage-Seiko-5-6119-8073-Automatic-1970-Very-low-Serial-No-000221/154103608139

the fact that it is a datejust homage might be interesting enough to be bought.

>>15596867
Replicas are gay

>>15596702
If I have $100k I'd spend $15k on this and call it a day

The rest is probably going to savings or investments

whats in the mail for everyone?

>>15596741
>>15596884
But if it HAS to be a $100k watch or around that then a Zeitwerk date

>>15596898
mensa iq test results and a van gogh starry night fountain pen

>>15596907
cool pen

>>15596902
WHY do you or anyone like this watch
it literally looks like a fat hockey puck
and the mismatched screws on the front is ugly

>>15596914
Lange thought the Zeitwerk is going to be a niche watch when they first launched it, Turns out they're more popular than they thought

Also the date has literally double the power reserve compared to the original and managed to be a little bit thinner too.

>>15596925
ok but help me understand the appeal behind this watch
you didnt answer the question

>>15596927
It's probably the movement and the instant changing minutes/hours

>>15596914
Yeah it's a watch with super cool tech but so many A. Lange watches land in what i call the old fat guy category, where it's a watch that looks comically oversized on anyone except and old fat guy.

>>15596936
Someday I'll be old and fat enough to wear a Datograph.

Saw a poor ass replica this afternoon. A pot-metal looking speedmaster with quartz movement and a crystal that looked like plexiglass. Guy wearing it was a manlet in gaudy looking probably designer ripoff clothes. Why even bother faking the funk? To impress a loyal following of retards and become a prestigious tard-wrangler?

>Day 7 of waiting for my Stowa to arrive

>>15597038
At least it's honest. You should probably post one of your watches to throw shade at the Japs like that. Don't spend your (you) all in one place.

>>15597038
upvoted

>>15597055
My daughter's bear has more ice than any of you will have in your lifetime. See, I can be an asshole too but at least if I'm going to be a prick online I'm not gonna do it with a shitty Seiko, nor am I going to shill the same 10000 pictures of my garbage reddit collection here and expect people to care.

Hard truths amigo. Have a glass of water.

I went ahead and got it fixed. No corrosion thankfully. Just needed a née battery. Now I’m off to the races.

Anyone have any idea how to adjust this band? It’s a little large for me. Stretchy.

>>15597077
congrats you overpaid for a shiteling aka new money watch. fuck you.

any recommendations for cheap digital shitter beaters which display two time zones easily? ideally with day and date. i have pic related and its almost perfect except it takes five clicks on the terrible buttons just to check the time in the second zone

>>15597095

Side note. I got back and asked my wife what she thought. Turns out thought her grandpa was a racist and she didn’t like him. Whoops. My wedding band is his ring too so not sure why this is just now coming up. Bizarre.

>>15597104
You're gonna get cucked.

>>15597077
>My daughter's bear has more ice than any of you will have in your lifetime.

had you posted any other thing besides a navitimer from breitling you might have actually gotten us.

>>15597104
>Turns out thought her grandpa was a racist and she didn’t like him

sounds like its time to look for a new wife.

>>15597077
I think you overestimate how much I care about watch worth. I wasn't shitting on cost, I was shitting on a bad ripoff replica. You can do that with a $5 timex, because again, at least it's honest.

>>15597096

>>15597116
This "cope" comment of you a cope of yourself because you don't know anything about any of us here.

Sounds like you are trying to justify an ugly watch.

IF YOU DONT HAVE A EXPENSIVE WATCH YOU MUST BE POOR... NO OTHER WAY

lmao seethe more mountain jew

>>15597130
lol bro your meltdown is causing you to type like you're ESL take a breath the world won't end because your Seikos are hot garbage

>>15597115
>>15597055
>>15597027
i'd rather look at a lousily bad replica than the same watches that you seem intent to flood every. single. thread

stop doing it so much. This is not reddit or your personal blogpage, theres less than 150 posters here on the very bestest day and everyone has seen the watches 50 times over by now. theres a line between "sharing my watches" and "im going to be really narcissistic here"
>>15597130
>he thinks its about cost
the navitimer is a iconic watch regardless of what you think of it

>>15597133
This retard thinks he's talking to the same person with the sarx. How dense are you?

lmao nobody would think otherwise dont worry

>>15597134
>>he thinks its about cost

I don't. The navitimer is actually just hot garbage of a design. The over cluttered dial is just for larping.

>>15596768
Lolno.

>>15597144
>literally posts 30-50 pics of his watches every single thread for the past X months
>wow wow why are you complaining DUDE

why are you shitting up the watch general? stop it

You can easily have 100k, work for them, you fucking stupid commie.

>>15597141
>>15597146

imagine feeling so bad about having/admiring shitty overpriced watches that you can only make yourself feel better to make things up that are unrelevant

also thank you for the (you's) you absolute US mud degenerates

>>15597130
>IF YOU DONT HAVE A EXPENSIVE WATCH YOU MUST BE POOR... NO OTHER WAY
That's not the issue, the issue is not being able to afford an expensive watch and coping by sourgraping the shit out of everything that's above your class.

>US daytime

>>15597154
The only thing shitting it up is your complaining. Despite repetitive OC, my posts are typically respectful and on-topic. If I start flooding the thread with images only then by all means please whine more. Last (you) on the subject, subsequent bitching will be ignored, because it actually is shitting up the thread.

>>15597170
But that's the thing I can afford it. Keep making stuff up in your mind, that way you might still have a happy life.

>>15597175
maybe you could try posting without avatarfagging with your same shitty watch pics every single time

>ESL monkeys melting down and seething after getting styled on by one guy with a Navi
Not even a part of this discussion but holy shit this is funny.

>>15597178
cool orient

>>15597183
so if you can post without being an avatarfag why do you insist on spamming the same 20-30 images of your shitter watch every thread? because you are a fucking attention whoring avatarfag who wants to be recognized on 4chan

>>15597177
>>15597187
Stop giving him attention, his retard brain takes it like a dopamine hit.

>>15597173
European morning time was just dozens of posts about waiting for shipping with no discussion

Today is (You) day and I am loving it.

>>15597187
because we're on a fucking image board and I prefer to see images of watches along with text. Even if I've seen them before. How autistic are you that you can't ignore it? I mean legitimate autism.

>>15597191
>we're on an image board so I must spam the exact same images of MY WATCH fifty times every single thread along with my posts, this is because I enjoy looking at MY OWN WATCH which I can look at any time by looking at my wrist but I must also see it on the internet too, next to my posts, every thread
You should get rangebanned

>>15597189
Well arguably better than this retarded ESL calling and seething about not being able to get a good watch.

>>15597175
""repetitive OC"" is just another name for spam. Like a personalized anime character.

i know im not the 1st person to bring this up
and i only said to "not do it as much" because its really irritating having to mentally filter pics all the time.
everyone else seem to be able to mostly post here without being an ass. You should try doing it too

>>15597191
>I prefer to see images of watches along with text.
ya, but NOT the same watches for the 500th time, tyvm. Literally post anything else, something you dont own

I win.

Keep feeding me (You)s obese mutts.

>>15597203
absolute cope lmao

who set off this spamming retard?

>>15597191
Avatar fagging is against the rules. Taking slightly different pictures of the same object still counts.
Honestly I'm surprised nobody has called you out until today. I was going to call you a faggot earlier but I couldn't be bothered.

>>15597206
Someone posted their Navitimer after someone said "post your watch" and they blew a gasket.

>>15597209
then report him, instead of being just as big of a autist you fucking moron

I like the Navitimer. You faggots leave it out of your shit posting please. Or else you WILL make me sad.

And now the third worlder that begs for free money and watches is back.

>>15597077

>>15597235
It's probably the same guy as the avatarfag.
If you pay attention you will realize that in every general type thread on 4chan like 90% of retarded shitposting is done by 1 or 2 losers who pretend to be multiple people because they have no life and exist just to shit up this one thread.
Think about it, you will see how much sense it makes.

>>15597235
its okay to be poor, but its really shameless to beg.
A week ago while jogging at 2am I saw this really old hunchbacked woman collecting cardboard boxes for money. Out of pity I wanted to give her $10. But despite my insistence she wouldnt take it (out of pride). In hindsight I should have left it on her cart and jog off but i also respect her backbone and desire to be self sufficient.

>>15597240
nah its probably not the same person, at least it dont give me teh same vibe. Besides the annoying picture spam the avatar person is okay.
I have a feeling the begging guy is Igor, because it makes sense. /shrugs

can't we go back to post compliments about each other watches no matter the brand :(

pwease guise, this yelling is making me cwy

but seriously folks, long live shitters. To The Bastille with the rest of you.

And that's why she'll die in poverty, while faggots like you will be rich and "successful" in life.

I always thought they were custom jobs from third parties.

>>15597283
That Patek is engraved by themselves. IIRC some of those VC one offs are also engraved

>>15597275
post more engravings

>>15597275
I really love that engraving pattern.
Not sure i like the font choices that pp makes. They use that font for the numerals on a few models and between that and the one that's a copy of some guys handwriting I'm not sure what they are doing.
I don't think it's a very traditional font so it's not like it's from the archives

>>15597280
Literally every thread he does some variation on this, usually culminating in him demanding that people send him money or watches. He claims he is trying to make some moral point but I'm pretty sure he is just grifting.

I get that they carve with a tiny chisel machine, but where does the black come from?

>>15597395
some kind of tint

>>15597395
brush with paint/ink and wipe away the excess. It'll remain in the grooves

>Antiquing: This paint-like process is very simple yet effective if you want to just touch up your engraving and make it a bit darker in order for it to stand out. The jeweler simply rubs the antiquing formula over the engraving, and lets it fill in the carving. Then they clean off the excess with an industry antiquing remover, and let it sit to cure. Once the antiquing is finished, it creates a dark, black, and clean look within the engraving. Antiquing only comes in black, but it makes up for its lack of variety by being extremely precise and easy to apply.

That fucking 4:30 date window

My uncle just passed away and my grandmother wants to give me his watch: a Tissot 'Ballade' that looks like this.
Could anyone tell me anything about it/the brand?
I've never owned a watch before and know nothing about them. In fact I'm hesitant to even accept such a nice gift.
Thank you and kind regards.

>>15597496

Tissot are a nice entry-level swiss brand with a lot of history - it probably set your uncle back about $500 dollars. I'd accept it graciously - it's not so ludicrously expensive that it needs to be coddled or fretted over

Sorry about your uncle - he took good care of that thing

>>15597496
Entry level Swiss brand. Not very valuable or sought after. Looks pretty cool. Wear it in good health.

>>15597518
>>15597517
>not so ludicrously expensive that it needs to be coddled or fretted over
that's a relief, I will actually wear it out if the occasion calls for it then. sounds perfect.
cheers anons.

>>15597496
>how much money could i sell my late uncles watch for?
>is it worth selling?
i hate zoomers so much

>>15597528
that's a pretty vulgar assumption, and a question better answered by ebay than /fa/.
if it were worth more I wouldn't even let my grandmother give it to me.

>>15597537
If you don't take it some other fag will sell it.

>>15597541
I suppose if I don't then she'll hold onto it as a memento until she passes, and then god knows what will become of it;
or she will pass it down to one of my rich cousins who already own nicer ones.

>>15597549
you should sell the shit your grandma owns when she dies

>>15597549
Yeah and your cousins may just sell it since they have nicer watches.
Just accept the watch and wear it with pride, and if you find your own watch you prefer then keep that one somewhere since you know that you won't sell it. Just remember that if it's a quartz you want to remove the battery before you store it, as the acid will eventually leak out and destroy the quartz components.

>yes my watch is cheap and replaceable while at the same time satisfying my wants. i hope you enjoy whatever time piece you want at a price point you find sustainable.

>>15597558

>>15597681
I got a warning for posting a mlp mouse pad in response to a watch that was the exact shape of a retarded mlp mousepad and or a chode. Worst part is two of the faggot Changs here whined about it, in barely legible engrish of course.

>>15597751
i literally told you to remove it, i didnt complain you fag

Sort of.
>Should I buy it?
Do you want to buy it?

>>15597766
If you wear this your balls will immediately get flicked by the roving gang of time piece enthusiasts.

>>15597574
Yeah but you had money to travel the world and do stuff. Imagine how it is for poorfags who can't afford anything better.

>>15597775

Okay with quartz, under $200 if pos

RGM's signature thing is guilloché dials, which, imo, are more beautiful than deep engraving. Engine turning is something of a lost art and seeing the technique revived makes me happy. I don't really know anything about the quality of the watches themselves.

>>15597877
Citizen BM8180, its 37mm but is a great little watch.
I've had mine ~17 years and it's been great.

Yea it runs, its one of my everyday watches. I only have 3 though. A pretty cool Sector diver, both digital and analog and an entry level Tissot dress watch

>>15596902
Haute horology makes ugly watches. But thats the thing. They are out of touch watches for out of touch people

>>15597877
honestly I never knew what the 24 hour markings are for.

If you are in the military, all time would constantly be 24 hour time, you dont need a reminder that 7:15pm is 1915. It seems pointless, only useful for a confused civilian or a recruit.

>>15598005
I posted it yesterday. Went to a party, ate shrooms, got all kinds of fucked up. The next day is here. You are still a tranny. You are still dilating. And i am. Happy

I need some /fa/ advice. I'm getting married in a few months and I've already purchased my suit/shirt/tie/shoes/socks (Brooks Brothers Charcoal 1818 suit/classic white dress shirt/navy and black striped tie/black oxfords/navy and black argyle socks) so now I need watch advice. My daily wear watch is an Omega Seamaster Pro Chrono but I want something special for my wedding. I'm leaning towards an AP Royal Oak. What watch would you wear to your wedding?

>>15598182
Completely subjective to personal taste.
It's your wedding day, choose something that you will enjoy that will become a good memory for you later in life.
Unless your marriage fails miserably, in which case every time you look at that watch you will hate it

>>15598188
Very fair point

>>15598166
>(im from /pol)
>Im Poortuguese, im tan, yes
Are you the portubro from the /ptg/ threads?

Should I cop? Suggestions for similar-looking Casios?

>>15598192
As much as I would love to have an unlimited budget to buy a watch I'm not sure I'd want a six figure watch on my wrist that could end up being a painful reminder instead of a good one

>>15598201
It's a cheap casio, assuming that you aren't dirt poor it won't break you if you decide later on that you hate it

>>15598204
The other way to look at it is that of the marriage ended badly, you could always sell the watch and fund a decent post divorce vacation where you have a little fun sending off that period of your life in style.

>>15598204
>>15598212
Well I know many people who loaned an expensive watch or jewellery for their wedding. You don't have to buy them.

>>15598220
Again, fair point. I want to buy mine because I do want to have it for the sentimental value. Plus an AP that I wore at my wedding would be a fucking amazing gift to give my possible future son on his wedding day.

>>15598212
True, but as you get older it becomes harder to let go of memories, even painful ones.
Just my personal opinion, but even with a high dollar budget I wouldn't go that high end for a wedding watch. I'd save that for the birth of my first kid or something

>>15598223
If that's what you want, then go for it.
I'm sure everyone here would happily get a royal oak if they could, whether or not they'd actually admit it

>>15598230
Thanks fren!

>>15598230
>would happily get a royal oak if they could, whether or not they'd actually admit it
no? its kinda ugly ngl
im not into chunky sports watches

>>15598138
looks like one of those assasins creed hidden blades

>>15598238
37/39mm ultra-thin royal oaks are not chunky.

>>15598245
just not a fan of the look and there are a dozen other watches equal or cheaper i would consider before a royal oak at that price.

1 luxury watch or an affordable collection?

>>15598291
an affordable collection because i like having choice and all sorts of quirky shit
i dont have a rich taste and thats good i guess

>>15598291
The grass is always greener on the other side.
Guys with a bunch of shitters will inevitably want at least one high end luxury watch in their collection at some point, and guys with "one watch collections" will inevitably want something new and different at some point.
So pick your poison.

>>15598291
1 luxury watch and a cheap beater.

what's the least reddit brand?

>>15598359
AP because none of them can afford it

> Your budget
€80-90~ (Italy)
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Analog steel diver
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
whichever is best for this price range
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
don't care
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Steel
> Wrist size or desired watch size

yes they are pretty much the quasi factory outlet at this point

>>15598456
Textured dials are embracing mediocrity. The ideal dial should be perfectly smooth with a flawless surface. Matt dials are for the plebs that cant afford real HH, textured dials are imperfect by design, completely abandoning the quest for perfection in favor of low budget pop garbage, yes even the hand turned rose engine dials.

>why she'll die in poverty

If you knew how much some of these bottel collectors make. Go talk to her, if you dig deep enough you will eventually find some form drug problem, she is financing with the trash.
Most old folks just do it out of boredom and loneliness. Or they are crazy and stingy and just want the rush of finding money. Here in germany that is.

Our social system can help them, but most of the rules suck and people don't want to be controlled by some institution. They want to stay out of the system, not get back in, cause it sucks for them.

Hey a few weeks back you all helped me pick out a watch. My mom is dying, and had saved up money for her and I to go on a trip but instead got cancer and covid restrictions. So instead she wanted me to have a watch that will out last my children. Here’s a picture, I have to leave to see her soon but I really appreciated everyone’s help. I’ll post more in the next thread when I have some free time. It’s a beautiful watch.

>>15598607

GANGRESERVE

Nice watch and nice fit, one of Nomos problems is the fit with the long lugs, but that watch has a perfect fit and the model you got with the power reserve looks better than the one without it. Again, sorry for your diying mother, but it's how it must be, sons and daughters watching their parents die, not the opposite, it sucks when it happens too soon (I lost mine at 14yo and grampa/her dad 1 year later) but that's the life cycle, be happy that you had a mother that loved you and try to remember her from time to time on a happy way, it's useless crying for long.
