Post skeleton watches for Halloween.

Orange Monsters for Halloween, but then again I wear these ugly fuckers all the time. This is probably my favorite watch design.

>>15633488
I'm so happy heimdallr is finally releasing a monster homage. Really want one. I feel like the shark logo with the tooth indices works together really well.

Vostok has a new dial 710 called the icebreaker, really like this dial.

>>15633508
I’m getting the red version. The combination of the teeth indices and the redness of the dial will make that impression of a gaping maw

What makes it soi?

>>15633553
Absolutely nothing, it's a great watch, Rolex was really smart to introduce the new colors and take emphasis off the very dated fluted bezel. Especially with the new colors it's a hip fashionable and versatile watch and it's offered in a variety of sizes to cover different tastes, however I'm not sure the 41mm option should exist.

I'm done boys.

This is my perfect watch. A golden mean between so many opposing forces... sporty, elegant, rare, functional, unostentatious, artful, reliable, valuable, durable. Sometimes I feel naked without a dive bezel, but even the best divers lack the versatility to be considered the Platonic idea of a watch.

Got the perfect matching strap that also balances opposing qualities. Got the correct vintage crystal. Got the 19mm shoulderless springbars.

I'm done. There are other watches I'd love to have, but they're all above 1k, usually way more, and it's just irrational to spend so much on another watch that would just take away from my enjoyment of this one.

It's time to end this madness. I just bought a bunch of classic folding knives, a dozen or so cost about as much as one decent watch. Watches are way too fucking expensive.

The chase is fun but I hope you guys find lasting satisfaction at some point too. It took me years.

>>15633603

I'm not a homosexual so no

Vacheron Konstantyn Joker watch.

>>15633627
not a homosexual but definitely a bear

>>15633627
I shave my balls, does that make me gay?

>>15633631
we need to go spookier!

By the way, have you seen the knockoff Joker watches on Aliexpress?

>>15633631
How the he’ll do you even pull something like this off?

In other news:
Thick watches with natos and a sweater over a shirt don’t really work (from a functional standpoint. I really dig the look)

>>15633642
I've heard that before, not the worst thing in the world to be

BOO!

>>15633553
Stop trying so hard.

>>15633603
Very nice, but this deserves a leather strap.

>>15633473
What spend anything on a watch? Why even wear a watch?
It tells the time.
Not hard to look at your phone.
And if I really want a watch to look fashionable, why not just wear one of the cheap Chinese 'fashion' watches and not spend thousands on an overpriced brand?
Can anyone explain this?

What is the upper limit on how many watches to have in your collection?

>>15633701
> Can anyone explain this?
Not to a child. Ask again once you have some pubic hair.

>>15633695
thanks, I have a nice alligator one but leather on this watch feels a little too dressy to me for most occasions, and in shade the dial gets really yellowy and a warm colored strap just doesn't go.

Plus wearing anything leather kind of makes me feel like one of those cringelords that wear the leather "jewelry" around their wrists or neck attempting some kind of horribly misguided edginess.

>>15633701
People like to buy luxury items for a variety of purposes. Appreciation of the engineering, attempting to signal wealth and success, and fitting in with a certain social group are all common enough reasons. Plus, watches are basically the only jewelry that most men are comfortable wearing, meaning that there’s going to be a decent amount of interest in getting nicer ones.

>>15633702
5 watches, more than that and I would go crazy, instead I would sell of old ones and buy new ones. or keep looking for perfect condition ones

>>15633701
I wore a watch before smartphones existed

>>15633702
I'm at over 30 and I haven't reached my limit yet.

>>15633719
Post pics.

>>15633512
I like that but I think I'll go with black. I just love me a black monster

>>15633603
i really like this watch and strap combo, they compliment each other so perfectly. Really nice

>>15633731
No. I will not post it here.

>>15633669
Gets your eyes checked grandpa, all except the black one are perfectly legible.

Why lie on an anonymous polish watch making forum?

>>15633745
Your brain is rotten.

>>15633683
Fuck I want this

>>15633746
I wouldn't know why others do. I only post pics to other forums. You can't have a discussion here but it's fun to lurk.

>>15633741
thanks, I enjoy finding the perfect strap for a given watch. It makes such a big difference. Some watches are simple but this Tudor with the offwhite/gold/green dial combo was very hard, I tried over a dozen straps. I'm also colorblind so I'm not sure the color choices I make are really correct to reality.

>>15633631
That's not joker, that's clown aeghao.

Mudman Monday

It's been quite a while since I've taken a look at /wt/.

So I just got a Tag Shitter 2000 from Japan for $180. No intentions on keeping it, I only intend to service it, restore it and then flip it. However it is a nice-looking 36mm quartz diver.

Thoughts?

hello gentleman
im doing my best to switch from graphic tshirts to proper shirts (and later business casual suits)

im having trouble with watches tho.
how expensive do they have to be?

i bought this watch for 150 euros and i like the black and blue, but now i think a watch from a fashion brand is kinda...pleb


whats the reasonable amount to spend? does anyone here actually buy watches that cost more than 500dollars/euros?

Pretty wild.

should i get a suunto traverse alpha ?

>>15633813
>how expensive do they have to be?
Entry level luxury starts at around $5-10k, the sky is the limit though.

Received the package today. Chuffed to bits.

>>15633813
>>15633824
I've seen an anon here with an ALS Datograph.

That thing is like $50k when it was being sold

>>15633813
>a watch from a fashion brand is kinda...pleb
yes and its kinda cringe from a horology viewpoint
>whats the reasonable amount to spend?
tbqh you can get perfectly fine dress/sports watches from the $150- $500+ range. Theres no real need to flex unless you want to.

orient star classic, junghans max bill handwind 34, timex marlin reissue, tissot, citizen, hamilton jazzmaster, seiko snkl, etc etc theres many budget friendly dressy watches

>does anyone here actually buy watches that cost more than 500dollars/euros?
there are some anons here with 20k+ watches

>>15633477
>>15633488
>>15633473
>>15633653

this watch has real human blood and silver "bullets" inside a skull case

>>15633838
hmm ok, not sure if its human blood or not. but still pretty cool

The best thing I’ve done is sell all my watches except one. I spent the cash on a project motorcycle and a Fujifilm X100F.
Watches aren’t a hobby, guys. Spend your money elsewhere.
Pic is my only watch.

>>15633477

>>15633812
Love the dial, especially the little triangles. Size is perfect and case in great shape. I think it's a damn good price. Some of these older tags look funky. Hated them at first but after so many years some designs get stale and tag had these crazier stuff, refreshing.

>>15633841
>buying a camera in the year 2020

>>15633844
Could definitely say the same about watches....

>>15633844
Id say cameras are a lot better to shoot with than smartphones.

>>15633603
Yeah, I'm on a journey to get the definitive watch, the style I like the most is that one or similar field watches, something rather small compared to today's standards, I'm looking mostly at seiko, GS has some similar models and I don't mind high end quartz.

>>15633815
I also love those old and smol explorers and their style, so I'm looking also to similar watches, right now on my mind there are black bay 36 and omega railmaster.


>>15633763
I like the new reissue, but its a bit big and then it has some fauxtina.

>>15633813
>how expensive do they have to be?
No price, just looks.You can wear a quartz watch that looks good and tell the time or you can spend a lot on a watch that also looks good and tells the time worse but you can flex with it because its more expensive. You can be dressed up and still wearing a cheap mechanical and utilitarian watch like orient star/3 star which are on the 100-300 range. And remember, basically nobody will look at your watch, they will notice you use one and that's all, only autists will inspect them and snobs will only look at the brand.

>>15633844
>only taking picks with a fucking phone
pleb detected,and amazed how you still are on a watch thread, why don't you use your phone to look at the time too?.

>>15633832
>yes and its kinda cringe from a horology viewpoint
This.
However, keep in mind that 99.99% of the population will not care. If anything they’ll recognize Armani and think that you must be the hot shit with such a fancy watch.
If you’re happy with how it looks, don’t want to “sell” it as more than just a nice looking, cheap trinket and you’re still trying to find a new style, just keep it and get something better when you know what you’re into.

>>15633796
>Put it over the clothes.
Bow down before your master, for I have become Gianni Agnelli, king of /fa/ and /fiat/!
(Also, I’m a weird wristlet, but with huge forearms. Almost can’t close the strap with only 3 cm up the arm)

>>15633813
>now i think a watch from a fashion brand is kinda...pleb
you are right which is where there is a big market in the $500-$1000 price range for people making that jump up a level.

>>15633477

>>15633813
Just get an Apple Watch desu.

>>15633854
Holy shit. That wire dial is rad AF.

>>15633861
$1.05 million btw

>>15633862
are the wires made of diamonds or something?

>>15633871
nope. materials consist about about $30k of the price. the rest is marketing and exclusivity.

>>15633871
It's oiled with Rafa Nadal's skin grease.

>>15633854
is the movement really suspended from the "tennis racket" wires? Or is it just decoration?

>>15633708
>Plus wearing anything leather kind of makes me feel like one of those cringelords that wear the leather "jewelry" around their wrists or neck attempting some kind of horribly misguided edginess.
Well no, that's just how watch straps are. But you do you. You have an old Tudor, so you can't do bad by me.

>>15633881
It's probably not decoration, as far I know, that watch can stand a lot of G force, so much you can play tennis with it without damaging it, it's an ugly,expensive, but awesome piece of tech, it is also extremely light.

>>15633841
I agree. As time goes by I want fewer but better watches.

>>15633903
That watch also has a memebillon too.

>>15633843
The thick Heuer 980 cases are fucking great. Sadly everyone else agrees, so prices are completely jacked up.

>>15633702
That really depends on the person. If you're actually trying to wear them all and keep them running, though, the more handwind/automatic you have, the harder it gets.

>>15633693
a small black rolex is tryhard?

>>15633959
I will gladly disagree with them. It's just another submarimeme in a disgusting case. Not even maxi case rolexes could reach the level of meh, seen in here.
I'd gladly take the 180 bucks quartz shitter, before i pay those söycuck inflated prices for that. But once these bored fags had enough of this standard design, they will ruin other stuff with their collecting faggotry.

>>15633813
Price is irrelevant, only watch nerds and snobs eat that shit up. The average person only cares about how it looks, if it's even noticed that is.

The things to really look out for are these:

1. Watch has to fit a specific occasion. Wear a dress watch for anything formal, a versatile etc. Also a reminder you van dress down a watch, but you can't dress it up. You can't wear a Gshock while you're suited up, but you can wear a dress watch at work in the office.

2. Size is pretty important, especially the lug to lug width. A dress watch needs to be small and sit compactly on your wrist, while divers are allowed to be big (but not too big). If your arm is 6 inches or 15 cms, you can't wear a 50mm Invicta without looking like a donkey's ass.

3. While I said that price is irrelevant, that only holds true for normal scenarios. If you hold a certain status at your work and things are expected of you and it's required of you to look nice and be friendly with clients, you are supposed to spend at least a month's salary on a watch.

>>15633701
status-signalling to females. As every other thing about men looks, it's a multiplier. If you don't reach the base line for a man look, you'll be going into negative

>>15634035
Damn boy, who hurt you?

>>15634036
Fucking phoneposting.


A versatile looking watch with strong specs that can take a beating for normal daily wear*

>>15634039
lol women do not give a FUCK what brand your watch is. They don't even know the watch brands. They choose style of cost every time.

>>15634033
Every Rolex is try-hard.

>>15634042
>why are you not liking what i like??

The case is ugly, the watch overpriced because cuckdinky featured it. There are far more interesting tags for way less. ez.

>>15634043
>A versatile looking watch with strong specs that can take a beating for normal daily wear
This is probably why steel sport watches Daytonas/Royal Oaks/Nautiluses are impossible to get without paying through your ass

Then again you're likely to get mugged if you ware one outside too

>>15634065
>ware
I need a break

>>15634044
Well, first of all, as another anon pointed out, a good watch is for most normies something that is percieved more than noted, with varying grades of persuasion depending either on credulity or sensitivity. I find it hard for any urban zoomer cool kid to not see through your chink watch.

Then, women who come from good families tend to know something about them from family experiences, and of course they can tell what's good from what is not

>>15634058
Wait, cancel the case part. I was wrong, now that i see it in better quality, it looks indeed interesting, but expecially due to the black strap. Maybe i only hate it on the jubilee. I can see the appeal of the case now a bit.

>>15633683
Damn that's cool

And how heavy is that Seiko that it presses down the boob that much?
And more importantly, where did you get these pics from?

>Casio is bringing back its first analog/digital G-SHOCK watch for the Fall season. Named the AW-500, the watch design was first seen in 1989 and was known for having both a traditional analog display with a dial and hands, and a rectangular LED digital display.

>The reintroduction will see both a more affordable resin version and a premium stainless model. Both versions will offer the same G-SHOCK-standard of impact protection with 200 meters of water resistance. Functions include a stopwatch, alarm, backlight afterglow, dual time, Neobrite luminous hands, and calendar. The metal version sees a few more elevated details like solar charging and radio rave reception.

>Sized at a hefty 47.7 mm in case size, the resin version weighs 58 grams while the stainless steel version comes in at 175 grams. Those interested in purchasing one of these re-editions can head over to CASIO where the G-SHOCK retails for ¥13,000 JPY and ¥60,000 JPY (approximately $125 USD and $570 USD) for the resin or stainless steel versions, respectively.

Just found this one on amazon for abou 24, some noname stuff and it looks exactly like it works like erikas. The fuck did this bitch do 18 months? Made it slightly less bulky?

Her website also looks highly suspicious of a kickstarter scam. https://erikasoriginals.com/

Probably orders that shit straight from china with that engraving in there.

Fauxtina is cringe but I wouldn't call it the cringest.
Cringest is the 4:30 date wheel. You either go 3, 4, or 6.

>>15634317
Yep,for that one >>15634176

I hope too that erica delivers them personally. I don't get what the justification behind that price is.
>>15634322
Actually was thinking the same while searching, since i got my nato from there for about 3$. Thank god i didn't pay for the nato meme, got bored of it very quick and the tucked, bulky thing pissed me off too.
But yeah, these straps are super cheap and easy to make, 24$ is too much. They are from china too anyway.

in terms of the dial, this is one of those rare examples of a nice-looking skelly. the case is just too off, though. it's supposed to be an elegant watch, not an over-engineered soviet bunker. and then the case is the start of where the bracelet is designed. bracelet isn't terrible but needlessly wide because the case is so fuckhuge.
I really wish there were more good skeleton/open-heart designs but I've only seen like two or three that I've liked.

not the worst I've seen, but these 90s dive watches are such a low point in watch history. The dial is bizarrely monotone, hands look thrown on at random, duplo tier bezel teeth, crown guards not actually protecting anything... No thought went into these watches.

Dude, I haven’t even posted the rest of my 2nd gen Monster collection. Heck, I even have several other watches with Monster design cues (Momentum M30, Orient M Force 2011, Seiko SKXA Knight, Citizen Orca, etc.) Ever since I got the first one, it triggered full blown autism that made me want to get the rest. I Just love the design

Day two of wearing my Amphibia on a leather strap.
I now have wrist cancer.

>>15634435
It looks boring and is too overpriced for what it is. And people hate rolex in general. What does that thing cost? like 6K$? Even on a mediocre job you can save up and get one. But it's just fucking plain looking.

40 hour work weeks are full-time jobs even in the USA. one of the rare advantages of being a wageslave. it's the salary workers whose bosses demand greater-than-40-hour weeks. when I hit 40 hours, my boss sends me home even if I'm cool with staying over.
>two hour siestas

>>15633849
>I'm looking mostly at seiko, GS
GS has a lot of watches that could feel pretty definitive, however they are a little big usually and just weren't worn in the classic era of watchmaking and don't have the history. But if I was going for a new watch, they're a better choice than what's left of the classic swiss companies.

>>15633896
It may not be rational but I just feel like I'm creeping into picrel territory when I wear anything leather. Kind of like a fedora, looked great at one point but it's been ruined.

>>15634439
Longines 6b/159 issued to British airmen in WW2.
I've looked everywhere for a strap like that with the pleating and can't find it. It's a vintage strap probably long out of production. Definitely would be a good idea to reintroduce it a la the Erika Original MN straps.

Nothing wrong getting a strela with that seagull movement because as far I know, the movement is a clone from the original movement so you are basically getting something similar to the original one but new, so not gambling on vintage finds.In the next year I think I'm gonna try to buy a couple of strelas, one with russian movement, one with seagull, I really love that design, way better than the sneedmaster.

No idea, but her stuff does not look like it is more quality than your pic. My guess is that's the exact same stuff. Yeah, that looks good.

That could be an issue after a longer time, didn't think of that.

>>15634373
unless you open the watch and eat the lume or crush it into powder and snort it, it won't.
it was never the end users that were harmed by the radium in the lume, it was the factory workers who painted it on who all died of cancer.

>>15633701
Same reason you spend $1k on an iPhone when you can get cheaper smart phones. It’s the brand you’re paying for. People buy Rolexs and tag cos they’re expensive AF and show off items. No one looks at Chinese watches and thinks wow like they do with a Rolex.

Tritium isn't a liquid, it's a gas.

okay FUCK IT!!! I'LL BUY A WATCH OKAY???? I can't keep lurking this shit general, watching shitty producermichael and teddy homobazar videos, getting tilted at how much money i would be spending, deciding against it and then coming back to look at watches again. I will not fucking spend 1000$ on a watch, that could buy me a better car than i currently have unironically. What's the most decent 100$ mechanical sporty dress shitter out there?

Seiko Arnie 2020 SNJ029 SNJ031, its a big watch, 51mm lug to lug I think, but I have seen some pics of wristlets wearing it and desu it does not look bad, the watch is a tool watch, not a dress one, many people don't see oversized sport watches like that as something terrible, it's like wearing a gshock.Pic related is arnie on a bit over 6'' wrist which looks on the worst position to taking a pic.A link with other tunas

>>15635118
Objectively no, it's not a good deal. But it is a very, very unique design and $400 is not too bad. You can also probably get it cheaper used. Like maybe 300.

I think the 420 case with the 42 bezel looks good

>>15635229
I think they are all ugly and honestly think this general is being trolled by some idiot posting them.

>>15635273
Well the bezel insert has been replaced, probably third party. Not a great start, the photo is too poor for any other telltale signs to avoid a watch. Do your research, there's several very useful sites detailing the Pogue and what to look for when buying one.

>>15635111
Is that recased? The case and crown look way off the usual penisquartz stuff.

>>15634036

Everyone knows Rolex, Patek etc. And everyone knows what "expensive" is.

>>15635229
I like the icebreaker posted in the beginning and this one that I have. Most of the SE models look nice.

>>15635317

>Nice cope poorfag
He's right though. Mainly gold diggers know a little about watch brands to pick their targets. Most women think expensive watches are a sign of poor financial choices if you're not earning 200k+ a year.

>>15635363
>Everyone knows Rolex
yes
>>15635363
>Patek etc. And everyone knows what "expensive" is.
No,most people doesn't know about Patek,Vacheron,AP, or other high end brands, they don't know what expensive is or not.On my country there was a politician, he was seen with two watches that cost around 700-1000 eur each one, and people thought it was some expensive shit,a politician showing his luxury lifestyle, and they were just some garmin sports smartmatch and a national microshitter watch with ETA movement.
Long ago I asked my sister what the best watch brand was, the top brand, and she said rolex, named other brands and she did not know anyone of them, and was surprised that Rolex was just the bottom of the luxury world and that 7k for a watch was really cheap compared to the high end watches. Maybe now with the rapper and gaudy stuff some normies know nautilus and royal oaks, but the average person won't.

>>15635387
Thirdworlders gtfo.

Anyone have thoughts on Bell & Ross? How do they compare to Sinns? The BR V1-92 is pretty sick but the Sinn 556 A RS seems way more robust in build quality.

>>15635411
Here's the Sinn

>>15635327
Ebay find. So yeah probably a frankenseiko...

>>15635411
Dude if your most important logo feature is the & sign you can go fuck yourself you're not a serious brand.

>>15635411
The sinn is on a totally different level

>>15635100
Look into pagani design on aliexpress

>>15635411
Get the Sinn for sure.

>>15633838
>>15633839
is it automatic?

>>15635457
I'd like to hear why you think that the Sinn is that much better. I am willing to admit I like the Sinn much better but the B&R has something captivating about it and I'm not quite sure what it is.

>>15635466
Then buy the B&R. You like it and don't need validation from other.

Is there a bootleg Navitimer or is it bootleg dive watches only?

>>15635466
Specs wise Sinn has the hardened cases and sometimes goodies with modified eta movements. It is ok to like a watch more for the design instead.

>>15635466
The dial is more design is nicer on the b&r imo. But sinns case is nicer

>>15635494
Yeah I think that pretty much encapsulates my thoughts. The tail of the second hand on B&R is a bit much however.
>>15635492
The Sinn is just so overbuilt its glorious. I wish I could just swap the dials.

Anyone own a Baltic? I like their tool watch and their chronograph.

>>15635411
muh dick, didn't know that watch existed.

>>15634165

>>15635574
Don't own one, they look good and seem to review well.

>>15635656
Can't decide if I want the bezle or chronograph first.

>>15634165
Being less knobbly is nice, but not like this.

>>15635657
I could go for either, if i had to choose i would probably go for the aquascape, but the chrono is very tempting, it looks good and while it's on the more expensive side of chronographs using the seagull movement it's still very well priced for a mechanical chrono and it's a great looking watch that is much more versatile than things like the seagull 1963

>>15634418
Not that anon but one of my best friends’ gf’s dad is a well off watch collector/nerd and every guy in her family has pretty nice watches along the lines of Breitling, IWC and whatever.

Her and her boyfriend also are into watches but her boyfriend is more into collecting Casios and Seikos than anything and she’s just in it for the fun little digital Casios.

Also, my gf knows a little about actually respectable leather and jewelry maisons and their timepieces like Cartier, Hermes, Harry Winston etc.

Can somebody please suggest a watch for my friend?

Ive never seen so many marketing buzzwords in a single ad since I ran through the article in the OP.

I wish this was a respectable brand, it looks so nice.

The 556 has none of the memetech, though.

I guess I'm a loony, I guess I'm on one
Guess I'm just a star of my movie
They say I'm the chosen and so it goes
I'm supposed to live and grow old and die alone
Talking to myself in the mirror
Take one to know one
Can we talk? Just loony to loony?
How strange the notion
You don't really know no one
And what if I told you
You no longer know me
You better keep going keep on rolling now
Ain't no thing you don't really need me
The pressure is growing
Hard times they mold ya
In the summer we colder
Let the world see how you win
No matter how you seem to them
Fuck 'em
And people think I'm mad
Won't you tell them I'm mad solar
All the things that bother me
Ain't no other way I can be
And people think I'm mad or on one
Won't you tell them I'm mad solar

I guess I'm looney, I guess I'm on one
Guess I gotta finish my movie
See my heart has been swollen, it's healin' slow
Hope I don't live to grow old no one at home
Starin' at myself in the mirror they want to know one
Wanna find out about the real me
Soon moments reveal you
Especially friends who were never good friends
But wanna act like they know me
You better keep on going, keep on strollin'
It's so crazy how you think you can play me
Show them pussies you're growin'
Hard times they mold ya
Tell the haters 'I told ya'
Let the world see how you win
No matter how you seem to them
Fuck 'em

Won't you tell them I'm mad solar

Is 6.75” wristlet status?

>>15636310
Yeah but that one costs almost 3 times that. I would never pay 300 dollars for a chink homage, plus it doesn't come in green and it looks distinctly worse.

>>15636289
The 42mm isn't really the problem, it's those Nomos tier lugs that extend to the Andromeda galaxy.

>>15636368
Stop basing your opinions only on online pictures.Put a Nomos on your wrist and you'll find the lugs are fine.

Well, that gives you three options:
Chink shit (which actually can be quite good)
Russian shit (which actually is fantastic!)
Playing the “vintage” lottery

>>15636418
I looked into vostoks, they look very fun. The point about "fun" is because I already am limited a lot in my job, I can basically only wear white or black dress watches and leather straps fitting my shoes and belt. So I want something different, as it's the only opportunity I have to wear a crazy shitter.

Can you recommend specific chink shit watches? I have to say tho, Russian shit has a cooler vibe. Also an addition, good water resistance would be important.

>>15636412
You think that shop will convince anyone?

>>15636414
Like the other anon said, either select Chinese brands or Russian Vostoks, both are incredible value. I would avoid the vintage meme if you are inexperienced.

Some Chinese great value brands are Pagani Design, Cadisen, Steeldive, Heimdallr and San Martin, the first two only have only an aliexpress outlet while the other 3 also have their own website. Opt for meranom for Vostoks.

If you are going for Vostoks a small piece of advice is to buy extra straps as the default metal bracelet is garbage, also the delivery time can take at least a month.

Other than that you basically can't go wrong

>>15636420
there are some asian divers at <$150, brands like steeldive/tisell (san martin is more expensive, ~$300 and up)
$150 is not a bad price for meme designs with good specs like this 1 for example

otherwise vostok seems to fit your reqs to a T
