Never buy a Vostok edition.

This thread is about the appreciation of watches and their design, their history, and the engineering and materials that are required to make a functioning timepiece.

It's funny, I was going to suggest a GMT watch but you've got one already, and it looks like you're already got one. I still think having only those kinds of watches is boring, but shoot for the zenith or JLC next, because those stand out compared to what you already have.

if I have a 7.25" wrist, what's the smallest size watch I can get away with without it looking weird? I'm trying to decide on either a pagani GMT, seiko 809, seiko SNKE63, or a seiko sur309. Pagani and the 309 are appealing because of the sapphire, and I really like the E63 with those explorer vibes, and the 809 just looks dope but I don't know if 37mm will look too tiny

Guys, solve a conundrum for me. I want two G-Shocks.

1) I want one to put on a Chinesium bracelet/case, that's ideally the one to wear as a daily shitter.

2) I want another to put on a NATO strap or whatever kind of tacticool strap that goes well with motorcycle gear, preferably over my gloves, this one would be left in the plastic case, with the addition of crash bars.

I also don't want Bluetooth, radio sync is a must though.

Which exact model am I looking for 1) and which for 2)? (I'd also like for one of them to be inverted) I've seen a snowboarding one with a blue screen, maybe I want that for 2? I'm really not sure, the lists of current and previous models are rather overwhelming, especially with Japanese editions.

I don't know, I don't have one and if I did I don't have the hardness tester to confirm. However, chink homages do have legit sapphire glass; synthetic sapphire without fancy coatings (it wipes off with microfiber cloth real well though, guess it's smooth enough to be a little oleophobic) is actually like $4 because of CNC glass machining. Loreo is reputed to also have legit sapphire, but that's just sourced from Youtube stuff. To contrast, Invicta is nearly always mineral glass, as on my 8926OB.

I have some shitters, I'm pretty frugal and not attracted to luxury things, I already have some shitters that I like and at the job any expensive watch is a big no since it will be crushed and scratched and even broken, so the nice watch would be just for casual wear during weekends. I'm a casual/outdoorsy person, soo high end luxury is not for me, I won't be drooling for shiny watches over the 5k range, yes, some are cool, but they do not follow my style, im more of watches as tools and not for show, so my idea was about getting a quality pice that can last a lifetime and later probably getting some cheap watches (vostoks and chinkshit and maybe the rare 1,5k-2k watch if I feel it) to fill a small collection to use from time to time, so the question was more about how getting a nice start, mixed start or starting with a ''grail'' (maybe even upping the budget to 3,5k)and then fill, because I tend to like more quantity of cheap watches than expensive ones,others dream about having many expensive watches(5k range+), I just like about 3-4 of them and not enough to drool at them.

>>15642639
Yes, from these brands I like some models, on my mind there are the oris big crown 36, longines heritage diver 36/marine nationale/heritage classic sector dial, Omega railmaster if I increase the budget, and from Nomos I like one ahoi with neomatik movement but that would be on the 2k+ budget.

Lately I was eyeing the Seiko SLA021J1 , which is about 2600-2800 and would fill the diver watch, I have none.

Watch autism is pretty bad. The worst part is most of the faggots pushing the "luxury or nothing" bullshit won't even admit that all they care about is bragging rights and competition. They honestly try to pass off luxury watches as a must-have. They try to convince people that 2 to 15 seconds per day better time keeping and a fancier finish is worth the 20x-100x cost increase. I have no qualms with anyone pursuing luxury watches, whatever floats their boat. I do hate faggots who pretend that all other watches are trash and are not worth owning, because again, they think it is a competition and are so devoid of meaning in their life they feel the need to flex with possessions.

I'm here to call you faggots out. I just got into youtube about watches and instantly caught this DW, MVNT, etc. hate. They say that you overpay for these simple, poorly made watches. That the price is 99% hype and 1% value. But guys what the fuck are you talking about, you're the ones paying thousands of dollars for a small piece of steel that tells you the time worse than a 9$ casio would. So why would you even talk about value for money when the entire watch industry, especially luxury watches, but basically everything mechanical, is a purely emotion driven industry with no connection to reality or utility at all. There's no more value in a rolex than a mvnt. Both are retarded brands that sell overpriced shit devices that tell the time more or less accurately. And the people who wear them feel good about themselves when they wear them, that's why they overpay for them. So my argument is that every single mechanical watch, and please get a grip on reality, 100$ for a time keeping device is a shit ton of money and not worth it from a value/utility for money point of view, every single mechanical watch is an appeal to emotion, nothing more. at best you're buying a mass produced piece of art or a wearable toy.

Buy a MVNT or any other fashion watch and you'll be lucky to get $1 in resale value. Its junk where you are literally burning money when you buy one.

At least with a Rolex you get a watch that can last for the rest of your life and at any point you do want to sell it you will get most if not all of your money back. That is good value in any product.

a black or white dial is very safe and will go with all outfits, but I think a white dial is slightly better for most skintones.

what you should not get are boring unremarkable watches, regardless of what colour they are. You will wish that you have gotten something more different/unique/interesting for your 1st watch when you start to expand your collection. If your 1st watch becomes boring after you start learning more about watches, you will think about maybe selling it off, but also still want to keep it for sentimental reasons, and thus you will be conflicted.

Is "Rolex watches all go up in value over time" just a meme or is this rly a thing? Thinking about gettng my first actual watch, I have a budget of about 7k€. However, naturally I'd like to get something I not only like to look at and wear but also something that doesnt lose its value if there is a possible way to avoid that. I've read the quote above time and time again but I don't trust these fucks and I feel you guys are honest.

>> No.15643551

It's both.
It's true that Rolexes hold their value pretty well.
What usually happens is that a Rolex devalues in its first five to ten years then kicks back up in value if it's in good shape. However it's not going go gain much until it's over 20 or 30 years old, so don't expect to make more than 500 bucks to a grand worth of profit in less than 20 years.

It's not about that watch it's about the idea. Any literal 5 dollar aliexpress shitter is the same thing as a 150 MVMT. A 600 squale sub homage is basically the same thing as a 8k rolex sub as far as quality and function. Or maybe you spend 500 on a replica, same thing. MVMT and daniel wellington mall shitters are actually way more overpriced than their actual value proportionally compared to how 'overpriced' a rolex is.

But it's not about the watch it's about a MOTHERFUCKING RAWLECKS on your wrist. You can cope all you want but they retain value and the very action of paying thousands of dollars for something to tell you the time for no good reason is the very concept of rolex.

It is not a meme but that length of time is typically more than a few years and varies depending on the model. Even in the worst case if you bought a brand new unpopular model such as the Datejust and sold it next year you would probably only lose 20% at worst.

It's a Reviewbrah case where the larp comes from a place of genuine appreciation rather than a image alone.
TGV's larp is comfy to watch at least, though it's a bit sad to see him fall for the usual "let's not be snobby and be positive instead" pitfall of excusing everything because you don't want to ever be snobbish.
At one point, you can call a shitter a shitter and stop saying "hey, if your MVMT got you into watches and if you enjoyed owning it then it's great"
Still, Bloberico is about as shite as it gets when it comes to watches jootubers. Shit production value, really low-effort "talk to the camera" content, commenting on photos stuff. But hey, at least he doesn't have the annoying mannerism of the Time Teller.

If you get the absolute cheapest kind of glass on your watch fro a grand, you're just getting ripped off.
And no, the fact that others have even worse pricing does not make things any better. Someone ripping you off worse doesn't mean the original rip off is acceptable.

Yes, clearly crack resistance is what you want in a dress watch that isn't even splash resistant You want to be able to take it to the fucking moon, that's why you have an acrylic crystal, I get it now.
It's not bad because it's cheap, it's overpriced because you are paying too much for cheap materials. How hard is that to understand that when you churn out a grand, you could expect a certain level of finish and quality that you don't get when you have a really basic automatic ETA movement, a printed dial and some rather cheap materials?
The Max Bill isn't a bad watch in itself, it's jsut worth 600€ in its automatic version, not 1000€.
Well, at least the original isn't bad, because a lot of the colour variants and the ones with sub-dials completely ruin the simplicity of the base design, which was its entire point.
