what are some low ass price watches with bezels? i am talking 10 bucks, i want to buy a bezel watch just to turn it for autistic purposes

>>15643957
Quartz Tevise from the international chinaman for like $17, shipped. Dogshit in most ways, but has a moving clicky bezel and is made of metal.

This watch is 39mm with an 18mm strap. Why do so many /fa/gs suggest 36mm watches? Is that not a woman's watch at that point?

>>15643971
*rolls eyes*
WWII field watches were like 32mm
no

>>15643982
do you wear hats every day? no? this is the 21st century and watch fashion has evolved.

>>15643971
Many people in the "watch community" are extreme wristlets, like 6.25 inch wrist on average.

>>15643957
casio MDV106 has literally the best bezel action you will find for less than $150

>when the gf has a bigger jaw AND bigger wrists than you
g-guess she's the one wearing buying me a quartz cartier bros...

>>15643989
here is your 21st century fashion, bro.

>>15643993
The average wrist is not Arnold sized, I think on fitness circles there is the same talks and the average wrist is about 7 inches, someone did a poll here and the results were similar.The wristlet meme is pushed by fewer people that 1) has huge wrists by genetics 2) huge wrists by burguer king and soda.

>>15643989
>>15643993
So if I have 7.5-7.75" wrists then what size dress watch can I get away with? 42mm?

>>15644016

>>15644022
The contemporary dress watch is on average 40mm now. I think that for a 7.5 inch wrist, that is an ideal size.

>>15644026
oh, the
>hi, i have no taste and suck cocks on grindr
look

>>15643993
the reason why is because the majority of guys are overweight and thus their wrists increase and inflate the average wrist size
6 inch wrist has always been normal before hamplanets became a thing, fuck off

>>15644030
6 inch wrist isn't normal unless you're an Indian. Your wrist is scrawny as fuck, faggot. Average wrist is 7 inches. If 6 inches is normal for watchfags then watchfags are wristlets.

>>15643971
in most cases, a 36mm watch WILL look better than a 39mm watch. This is objectively true. The exceptions are tool watches in actual use (not larp watches)

>my dick is girthier than my wrist
any solution for this?

>>15644045
transition

>>15644022
or 40-41, but it also depends on your wrist shape and watch's lugs shape.

what are some marketing tropes among all watch companies?
"we blend traditional with modern design, fusing the eras" or some iteration is present among all of them i swear. this "fusing of eras" concept is present within literally all art and aesthetics, you can't have an only traditional (without copying) or only modern look.

>>15644045

>>15644026

>cold ankles

>>15644057
>affordable luxury
top cancer marketing right there

>>15644057
not sure about tropes but common words focused on in shill articles are
>updated (aka ruined)
>modern (aka we changed it to a dinnerplate size)
>affordable (but its still $2000, haha!)
>tried and tested (this watch has an ETA/SW/NH )
>accessible (see affordable)
>luxury (this watch is shit and we got paid to promote it)

>>15644057
Anything that any watch mag says about Timex's bullshit Q watches.
Holy shit those watches are all LIQUID SHIT but they all talk about how amazing they are. I think the biggest whopper was Hodinkee defending this backlight by saying it's charming.

>>15644094
>OMG ITS DARK IN A WELL LIT PHOTO
It’s overpriced as hell, I’ll give you that. But lumefags are legit autistic and don’t give indiglo models any credit when it works better than the world’s best lume.
I’m getting this the second it’s on sale for around 110. Even Casio doesn’t make an all metal digi square for less.

>>15644037

There is no way that the dramatic increase in watch sizes are not due to fat shits though.

>>15644084
>x brand caliber xxx , it's a eta with brands logo on the rotor.

>>15644094
Charming is the casio royale light, saw some review praising it, and after using the watch for 4 years I must say the light is awesome with that intensity and colour, looks retro.

>>15643926
Literally how do these fluid watches work? Do they actually have a pump inside the watch that's powered by the main spring? And how does the red liquid not simply run over to the empty side of the tube?

>>15644115
>indiglo
that timex is not an indiglo
it only has a LED.
aka same as a f91w

>>15644115
you are fucking retarded
that's how it looks in the dark and that's not indiglo, how dare you open your fat lips to talk about indiglo and how great it is when you literally don't even know how it looks? shut the fuck up, retard
the light isn't even in the right place, it's not illuminating either actual time display

>>15644139
yes, that’s what my post says. That it doesn’t but people would still take part in recreational Timex h8rade drinking if it did. And they never provide an example of another company providing a similar but better product cuz one doesn’t exist. Once Casio releases a metal body square for 100 with an ani digi display I’ll shit on the Timex too.

Pretty sure I saw homos on watch blogs writing about how Biden's Omega makes him a man of the people while Trump's Rolex shows he is an asshole.

it's like a rosary bracelet because he's a catholicfag. still gay, but more justifiable, especially as a politician

>about how Biden's Omega makes him a man of the people
If he wanted that he would wear a mudmaster or a Casio Royale like pic related.

>>15644553
If it makes you feel better Joe Biden is a really shitty Catholic.
I would not try for Joe Biden-core. He literally dresses like a politician from 1950, and the Seamaster 300M is horrible on him. The 300M's features with its curves from the twisted lugs to the scalloped bezel, the complex bracelet, and eye-catching dial and handset, are meant to be a sleek, flashy watch that seems purpose-built but doesn't look out of place anywhere. It's a cool watch and Joe Biden is not cool enough to pull it off.

>>15644480
This makes sense until you apply it to people like Chris chan, obviously be doesnt care what anyone thinks but wearing a sonichu medallion instantly allows everything judge you autistic. 'not caring about others opinons' only goes so far if you still live in society and aren't a mountain hermit.

>>15644561
Wearing a Casio isn't the same as wearing a Sonichu medallion. Usually when I see someone wearing a Casio I assume they have a job where they need to know the time but their watch could get beat up. Are you saying it's cringe to be a man with a job?

But you implied wearing any watch over 100 was stupid. If you are Ina. Business environment a 20 dollar casio isn't acceptble. Cheap dress options exist like an orient bambino for 150ish but you should put effort into your watches. Otherwise why are you on this board.

>>15644778
That anon was full of shit. You will probably move through several watches in your life before you find a couple you like. You should consider the choice because watches aren't cheap, not because it is like losing your ass virginity.

what's up with the 4th hand?

>>15644871
The Vulcain Cricket is an alarm watch. The 4th hand sets the alarm. Besides the standard "pull crown out, adjust time/date" function, you wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise, and wind the alarm spring by rotating it counterclockwise. Press the pusher and the crown pops out in alarm mode. You set the hour amd then an internal of 10 minutes. Then push it back in to activate the alarm.
This watch used to be given to presidents. Nixon had one.

>>15644778
Hamilton has some interesting watches (ventura etc) and the khaki line has a lot of variants..

>khaki field auto
thats actually quite a sharp looking watch.
but get the 38mm one if you are going for it. The 42mm looks silly and mismatched with the vintage mid century style, making it look bloated, clumsy and badly dated all at the same time.

>>15644094
holy shit overpriced as fuck

I really want to get a more tacticool-styled diver, but they're all such Rolex Sub ripoffs, any suggestions? Just get a Sub and pretend it's more military-looking?

>>15645100
Marathon msar/gsar is definitely not a homage and has cool glowie bits and a very military. Otherwise what you posted is probably the most military looking diver.

If you have a fair bit of money one of the non gilt dial tudor black bays since they have a lot of military heritage and say have a rolex look, can't rip off your own parent company and seem a bit more utilitarian than the rolex sub.

>>15645109
>Otherwise what you posted is probably the most military looking diver.
That's the best I could find that isn't ancient, I looked into CWC but the designs are slightly too shoddy-looking. It just looks so much like a cheap Sub though.

San Martin Nautilus update: After extensive testing this week, it is clear that the problem lies with the automatic mechanism.
Winding the watch fully through the crown gives a power reserve of 40-42 hours, but it makes no difference whether I leave it on a table the whole time or wear it throughout the day.
I have written to San Martin explaining the issue. I don’t know what to expect from them, but we’ll see what they say.

I’ll probably use the opportunity to try and open it up and fix it, knowing full well that I will most likely fuck it up.

>>15643926

Should I cop? I would love a Richard Mille esque skeleton watch to larp as Nadal for my collection, and this one is pretty good for the specs.

Ok? It's still almost identical, and at that point it really is only money issues that prevent you from getting a real Sub.

>>15645169
it's just a white circle with a leather band

>>15644992

Glycine is literally almost as old as rolex, that design didnt originate with rolex, it didnt even exist pre ww1, rolex doesnt even have an legal exclusivity to anything vaguely resembling that design

>>15645267
Give me a good reason to get a near-Sub over a Sub except money.

I reached out to the NY Lange Boutique to inquire about availability of a recent “Boutique Exclusive” release. What a terrible experience. Despite having purchased five complicated Langes from my AD over the last 3 years (which I made clear) they treated me like I was some kind of pleb who walked in wearing a Fossil and flip flops. Another friend who I was hoping to convert from AP/Rolex to Lange had a similar experience. While he hadn’t yet ever purchased a Lange, he walked in fully intending to buy one and walked out saying “I’ll never buy a Lange after being treated that way. Never.” Very disappointing.

I understand why some brands with long wait lists and watches trading well above MSRP might give new prospects customers the occasional Heisman (Rolex, PP, etc). But give me a break Lange. My buying history from ADs should count toward something, especially given that I don’t live in a city with a Botique. I felt like I was being penalized for buying locally from a business with which I have a long-standing relationship. And worse, I felt like I was being extorted being asked to buy a “core” piece from the Botique to prove my loyalty to the brand before they would even be willing to provide details of availability for the LE piece.

>>15645299
subtle flexing of horology knowledge and not being a sheeple

>>15645300
how are there autists posting on a neolithic reenactment forum who own five Langes

Time to buy some F.P. Journes or weird artisan japanese watches I guess?

>>15645300
Why are you posting copypaste from the Watchuseek forum about a brand you will never own?

bros... the reverso duoface is 1.8 mm thicker than the standard, is that a big difference? 7.5 to 9.2. its important for me that it looks sleek and elegant on the wrist, is the duoface a hamplanet? medium btw. does thickness even matter or am i getting mentally ill from paranoia?

>>15645300
i will never understand why people buy luxury watches. My seiko 5 is also a watch. It also tells the time. A Lange is at least 300 times the cost of my seiko 5 but it is not 300 times better a watch. And Seiko has a strong history too. Theres no shame in wearing one.

>>15645312

Lange owner here. I do not know why this guy was so secretive about the "boutique exclusive" because the *only* watch Lange have an application process for is the Odysseus. It is also the only time I've ever experience the staff saying buying another watch will give you preferential treatment and it was the same for other people in other locations so that would mean its a company directive. It's like they are trying to copy Patek or AP to increase perceived rarity and demand.

Everything else is simply a case of going on a waitlist if not in stock or being told a limited edition has already been assigned.

you have to be careful with square/tonneau/rectangular watches as they will wear bigger visually. A 38mm square watch will look more like a 42mm round watch.

>>15645623
Thank you, they look great. The black one too. Size is great too. But almost 700€, i'd rather get some quartz. No way i'll pay that much for a seiko movement.

>>15645589
Probably more cost effective to just give the owner a new watch, or a new movement at the very least.

I was thinking of getting an Apple Watch 6 but now I am thinking I should probably get a "proper" watch first. Right now I have a Casio F-91W as my standard watch and a Casio MTP-1303 for more flashy occasions (was a gift). I would like to buy a G Shock for old times sake but thats for later.

Some anon mentioned the CWC divers watch for the Royal Navy in a previous thread and I have been in a rabbit hole since. The CWC is too expensive for me so I have now been looking at MWC watches. WhatÄs the opinion on MWC watches and are military divers weatches any good with a suit?

Put it on a leather strap, for the lulz. Brown goes well with a silver case. Boomer stretchies are the shit tho, they are very comfy.

Can anyone ID these two watches? This can be had for like 30$ each, not sure if its worth it.

>>15645821
The problem with both CWC and MWC which is even worse, is that the watches just look like cheap Chinese crap, you can see that there's no attention to anything, I understand the rugged military aesthetic, but if you've ever had a real luxury watch on your wrist you won't be satisfied with something that feels like it should be in a kid's Halloween soldier costume.

>>15645873
If they keep good time, it's a good deal.

>>15645873
So I've done a little googling and found out the one below is an SNK355 if im not mistaken.

>>15645821
>MWC
the thing about MWC, it has kinda dodgy history
it claims to be involved in real military issue, but on WUS people investigated its history and the link was very tenuous at best, apparently they supplied some parts for some african country IIRC but even the hardevidence wasnt there.
And of course the name MWC is very close to CWC which it is trying to ape, I guess. So the "military arrow" is mostly stolen valour/larping.

Maybe consider a Citizen Promaster, it is real mil-spec (the NY004 was issued to Italian seals) the price is roughly in the same ballpark, it is a quartz but citizen is known for quartz(ecodrive) and it is very well made.
Seikos have been issued to military use as well I think.

Real military is not James Bond advertising Omega, military shit is supposed to be reliable and as cheap as possible, basically a watch that tells the time, shock resistance and waterproof, no zaratsu polishing and shit.

How many Rolexes do you have to own to not look poor wearing a Tudor? I'd say two and every time someone calls you a poorfag for wearing a Tudor you can just say that it's your shitter beater.

Yes but I often do not. I live in Berlin and there are people who hunt people that wear Rolexes. I usually wear my Omega instead.

>>15646006
Ah yes, those roaming bands of Rolex hunters that Germany is know for. How do they track you? The smell of money? I recommend standing down wind. Basic evasion tactics would also help along with no more pathetic shitposts.

>>15646019
>you will never impress a beautiful autistic German slut by fighting off a band of Rolex raiders in front of her
How do I cope?

>>15646051
you can get them for roughly $6k but thats still way too much. it's a beautiful watch though. gorgeous. gs level. but since it's "limited edition" like the 5 other versions they released, the price is higher.

i want one but can't justify that price. they're releasing a "beams" version with a black matte dial. it's pretty but still, at that price point id rather get a rolex.

I can build a franken rolex for $3-4k, just put an eta in there and fake case. everything else genuine.

hard to call it a fake with genuine: dial, hands, bezel, crown & date wheel. I think i'd go that route over a genuine seiko.

and for anyone still mad at replica rolexes. u see how they handle their business right? cant even buy a sports model from the ad. and if you buy on chrono24 or w/e it's $6k over retail. fuck em

>>15646070
>and for anyone still mad at replica rolexes. u see how they handle their business right? cant even buy a sports model from the ad. and if you buy on chrono24 or w/e it's $6k over retail. fuck em
Uh what? A Sub with decent looking lugs is $7.5k, if you can't afford that then what can I tell you man.

Rolex is the De Beers of watches and if you have not realized that yet you are destined to be fleeced your whole life.
There is no difference between a Rolex and some Chinese Rolex ripoff except that a white man's hands touched the former and spent an extra hour polishing and regulating it. They most likely come from the same factory. The rest is marketing.
All mechanical watches now that sell for thousands of dollars used to cost the equivalent of budget Seiko shitters until the watch industry decided to sell hype rather than quality in response to this single watch fucking them all in the ass.

First of all wrist size can not accurately be described in length. Generally one could say there is width and height, and there is a unique shape to every wrist on this planet. So no two people with 7 inch wrists have the same wrists.
Also there is a matter of personal preference and taste. If someone, like my friend, likes to wear giant watches since he was 15 i won't even notice he is wearing one, same goes for the old chap reading the newspaper in the corner of the pub that has been wearing hand-wound 34mm dress watches for his whole life, both can get away with it.
Also this is fashion after all, it is you who expresses yourself in one way or another by wearing clothes and accessories, therefore there can be no wrong decision, only different interpretations.

>>15646142
ur wrist is still small

>>15643971
Depends in the size of your wrist. If you have tree trunks then get a bigger size. I’d you had twigs get a smaller one and it look better

>>15646147
I've got a big dick though, guess we're even then huh?
Can we stop discussing the differences between us and start focusing on things that connect us, like idk, watches?
Tell me what you think about watches, and i will tell you how mature you are.
>protip: not very

>>15646176
you sperged out about the tiny differences in wrist shape and preference which doesn't at all address that most watchfags are wristlets
just admit it, you are a wristlet, most people in this hobby are wristlets which is why they cry nonstop for smaller watches

>>15646132

It's the same materials and in fact Rolex manufactures some components in China.
>accuracy
Regulate it.
>original design
Rolex has not had an original design in like 50 years
>resale value
If this is that important to you you are hopeless
>ease of repair
Rolex doesn't actually fix watches most of the time, they just have an authorized watchmaker do it. Their repairs are rarely, if ever, in house. That said you can simply replace the movement on a homage for cheap or order parts from the seller directly while Rolex often will not even repair vintage models.
>self-respect
If your self-respect is tied to owning a Rolex you should hang yourself. It's not even a big dick watch anymore, any boomer can buy one.

>>15644992
He found one of the worst Seikos from the worst era of design, i'm ashamed i wear Seikos now.
In fact i think this photo will do to Seiko what Clarkson did to Levis in the 90's.

>>15644383
No, it's not true. Women like men who are any combination of attractive, confident, funny, smart, wealthy and/or gainfully employed. A watch is not going to affect your ability to reel in a woman. Never has, never will.

Wear it correctly, brother. You look retarded.

>>15646132
Yeah you’re right. Even high end watches use the same ETA mechanical movements as cheaper ones. Exactly. Mechanical and automatic were dirt cheap but then the quartz industry killed them and now they’re rebranded as luxury brands. You can still get cheap Chinese ones though

>>15645312
Dude, if you'd seen one in person and had the money you would at least reconsider if not change your opinion. Your 5 probably doesn't look half-bad, but any Lange absolutely looks a 1000 times better than even the smoothest Seiko 5. And you get to admire all the engineering and brains that go into making such a watch.

>>15645300
>>15645309
kek, you got debunked

>>15646199
Most of these are right but accuracy can be affected by isochronism and position on some movements more than others. That being said I laugh when mechanical fags talk accuracy when quartz shits all over them.

>>15646224
people think the price will go up I guess, looking to snag one used/like new.
check out footage, they're zaratsu polished and using seikos new metal which mimics white gold. great looking watches.

>>15646315
its probably just
1 ) the crystal
2 ) the dial underneath with extra transparency part
so there are areas with 2 overlapping layers of "glass" or whatever
there is no way any maker would have a movement be actually exposed to air like that, dirt and shit will get in

Ah but that's a memebillion, big difference. I'm thinking open-heart like Seiko and others do it, where only the balance and the ugly bridges of the (usually shitty) movement are exposed, i really don't get it why anyone would do that. It ruins the watch completely.

can military watches be worn everyday in the office with a suit? or should I go for pilot watches? dress watches seem too elegant for everyday office. but then I am new to this.

Which watch is this?

both are powered by the mainspring

its quite smart. The empty part is not air.

>>15646439
>can military watches be worn everyday in the office with a suit? or should I go for pilot watches?
If you mean a real suit and a place where they actually want you to wear a suit, then no. Otherwise as long as it isn't fuckhuge you could even wear something like
>>15646428

>dress watches seem too elegant for everyday office.
No. As long as you aren't scuba diving or running around with a fat jacket you can wear a dainty dress watch that follows all the rules of a traditional dress watch.

>>15646439
dress watches are supposed to be worn with a suit, aka 100% "for the office", but of course it depends on the workplace and how formal vs casual it is

its just that modern rules have relaxed so much, people are waring divers and other tool watches with their suits now, which traditionally strictly speaking is a no-no.

>>15646430
Now that is nice!

>>15646451
shit then I should go for a dress watch first. I wanted a tactical watch so bad but for now office wear is more important. New job, gotta fit in and all that. disposable income has increased, gotta keep it that way.

>>15646441

>>15646466
well
purists will bemoan it, but tbqh it very likely wouldnt matter at all unless your workplace is very strict, like a law office or something, where even the colour of the ties and socks are controlled...

also, a flieger is quite clean and minimalistic so it'll work fine most of the time
there also also dressy divers, or dressy tool watches that kinda blur the lines (aka seiko alpinist and longines legend diver)

how do you feel about your luxury watch(es) that you have had for a long time? is the peak enjoyment of them the beginning or do you love them more and more as it becomes a part of you?

>>15646441
Luminox Navy Seal

>>15646495

The first week or two is scary because you don't want to mishandle it but after that is peak enjoyment I think.

>>15646495
No simple answer to that. Every watch I've bought I liked at the start. Kind of obvious or why would I have bought them otherwise. After some time there have been a several I regretted buying though, either I found problems or they were not as good as I originally thought or I just ended up finding better watches. Most I still enjoy just as much but a smaller number I found myself appreciating more and more as time went on.

>>15646531
how does it work? which watches have grown on you and which did you start disliking and why? which is your current favourite and how long has it been so?

>>15646535
Most of the vintage watches I bought early in my collection I ended up not liking once I bought my first modern watches. Vintage is cool with its history and affordability but I simply ended up not wearing them. They were a hassle to set, maintain and repair. Modern watches just work and are more reliable and accurate. I have a Chopard L.U.C ltd edition I regret. Not a bad watch at all but unremarkable compared to others I now have. Same for my Vacheron though I probably regret most how much it depreciated and I never wear it because it's too formal.

As for some of the watches that have (surprisingly) grown on my the most. Hmm, my all yellow gold AP RO - its pure fun, my Eichii II - minimalist perfection that gets better every time I see it. Also my Rolex DD 40, my first expensive modern watch I bought when I knew nothing about watches, I simply liked how it looked, but it is my most worn watch this year because it is just a damn good watch and easy to wear and use.

>>15646567
Post your watches

>>15646576
No but thanks for asking.

>>15646567
speaking of maintaining old vintage watches, I seem to be able to find old omega seamasters for just a couple hundred bucks albeit in really rough condition, usually. what's the cost of bringing something like that to a shop to have it cleaned up and maintenance'd compared to something like a new cheap seiko automatic?

>>15646507
i agree, i even got over the power reserve being slighly misaligned when its at full

>>15646598
forgot photo ofcourse

>>15646595
I wouldn't be surprised if it cost more than you bought it for to get it into near-new condition and upto a few hundred to get it serviced every few years. Vintage really needs much more looking after.

can someone explain to me why iwc has fans, or why anyone would buy it? it looks basic as fuck but is neither in the cheap or haute category, people like it for how understated and simple it is but buying an expensive piece of jewelry intended to look boring makes no sense. and the logo looks worse than daniel wellington's, just three letters that stand for "international watch company". at the same price class for a simple dress watch you can get jlc which has real soul/design, inhouse movements, history and a great logo. seriously, who looks at this shit and thinks "yes this watch is my identity omg i am in awe"

All pure dress watches are boring by both intent and design, just like how white tie "fashion" is boring

>>15646752
Incorrect. It's bad etiquette to wear any kind of watch to a black or white tie event because you aren't supposed to give the impression that it matters what time it is while you're at another event.

There is no reason at all why dress watches need to be 'boring'

>>15646762
You can have an interesting dress watch, but only when you relax the rules.

>>15646646
Who cares about the watch, what is important is the price of the watch, you buy it and then you can flex, the quality of the watch is not important, the price is.
