dumbass
take a look at early rolexes and they were just basic toolwatches
they didnt even come with milled clasps

>>15727566
Early Rolex watches were not basic. There were still extremely high end for the period. High end tool watches for sure but you can't apply that to what they are today. No one can legitimately call Rolex tool watches today. They are a luxury commodity.

>>15726195
>Rolexes went for 175-195 USD in the 60s
so what brand is making Rolex quality for about 1500 USD today?

Why is everyone obsessed with Rolex?

>>15727573
sinn/damasko

>>15727573
Probably Sinn as they try to produce the best tool watches they can but they can't compare when it comes to original design or marketing.

>>15727579
>original design
>everything either looks like a sub (rolex gmt)or they look like shit (yachtmaster 2)
overrated simp brand

>>15727580
this
rolex is the derek zoolander of watches

>>15727580
>>15727582
Midwits at the bottom of the Rolex appreciation curve I see. You’ll come around once you learn more about watchmaking.

>>15727588
you are fooling yourself if you think rolex is worth the prices they charge

>>15727580
Ask yourself why. Either the designs are so iconic and perfect they can't be improved upon or since Rolex is the best selling brand in high end watches it is basic economics to copy them whenever possible.

>>15727590
Define worth in that context.

>>15727588
>watchmaking
rolex has not had any real innovation for decades now
meanwhile other brands like zenith/bvlgari/cartier/GS are pushing all sorts of boundaries
even panerai. B&R are doing all sorts of material memes
and now brands like Oris are actually making new calibres
>>15727592
rolex= 30% watch 70% marketing 110% SIMP

>>15727602
Doesn't Rolex not even apply AR coating on all their sports watches?

Looks like I'll have to post this in every thread to remind them.

>>15727605
Rolex applies AR on all their watches.

>>15727602
> rolex has not had any real innovation for decades now
Maybe not visibly but they have spend billions on improving the materials used in their watches, the build quality and on their movements. Rolex watches today are the most reliable and accurate and robust that they have ever been.

gs > rolex

>>15727615
Buy a GS then if you believe that.

>>15727602
Aren't the newest Rolex movements actually pretty top-tier? Still not really worth the price, I think, but the 70 hour automatics seem to be ahead of even Omega's 8800/8900 stuff, which tends to be received pretty well.

>>15727607
>oh hey heres a mspaint pic i drew in 30 secs HA TAKE THAT H8ERS

Seiko vs Citizen? Which is the better watch brand? I hear more people are switching to Citizen now because Seiko watches are getting too expensive.

>>15727616
ok

>>15727613
Lol their budgets are very opaque. They could tell you they spent however much they want on research. That being said I see your point. The 4130 is probably the best automatic chronograph calibre out there right now. But I would believe everything you read about rolex

>>15727575
Wealth signifier

Not a fan myself but I like watching videos of people buying old ones and fixing them up, very comfy

>>15727626
this isnt a very good comparison because citizen primary makes quartz watches, which are superior in timekeeping and longevity than any mechanical watch in the world

>>15727624
midwit detected

>>15727626
Seiko is chasing the upscale market and the designs are coming along, but not there yet. In the meantime they're raising prices on all their midrange offerings while not really increasing the value.
Citizen isn't doing anything particularly impressive at the moment but they have something to prove, so they try a little harder. If you are into solar quartz, they're impressive.
As I get older I become more interested in solar quartz, I'm tired of the fucking around.

>>15727575
they make good watches

>>15727622
> Aren't the newest Rolex movements actually pretty top-tier?
Rolex movements have always been top-tier versus their competitors. It's pretty much been their main selling point along with build quality. The current 32xx movements are guaranteed to be +/-2spd and for at least 10 years.

>>15727575
literally just marketing
rolex was the original hypebeast bullshit celebrity tie-in watch

>>15727641
That's fair, yeah - was mainly thinking of the last few years, where I remember a lot of buzz about Omega's new super anti-magnetic stuff pulling ahead before the 32xx swung it back into Rolex's favour.

I tried to like rolex and besides the basic ones like datejust I think I like omega more overall.

>>15727642
??? have you heard of royal oak?

>>15727656
I know what I mean

On the topic of Citizen, any thoughts on the Chronomaster JDM stuff? Looks like really interesting stuff, and some buzz online compares favourably to GS. Overall I like that it's a bit thinner than most GS stuff and the solar power stuff - strong agree with >>15727636
on the convenience on solar being increasingly attractive to me at least.

>>15727638
This. I never really understood all the hype about Rolex until I wore one for an extended period. It is not about the fact that everyone notices you are wearing a Rolex, they don't. I never had a single person comment on it. It is the fact that it is a watch that works and works extremely well while feeling good while you wear it. The longer I wore one the more I could tell it was something of quality with a lot of thought put into its construction. Say what you like about value but Rolex make fucking good watches.

>>15727664
I kinda jelly. You able to tell how long the chronograph ran for without the numbers? Also how's the quality control?

>>15727670
every 5m there is a longer hash mark

>>15727675
Yea it looks like it was made for ants. Is it easy for you to tell at a glance?

Omega is actually what all of you claim Rolex to be. Gimmicky marketing (James Bond Edition; XY edition), selling an almost completely Swatch-designed and produced calibre as an "in-house movement", marketing tricks (Co-Axial has no real merit, no artistic value and is simply their next choice of hype train) etc...
Rolex watches are simply not liked by the ordinary consoomer watch guy because they look simple, they are expensive and they have been used as a status symbol forever.
If you don't know shit about watches, you love Rolex. If you acquire consoomer-tier information about watches you hate the brand. And once you start to know more you get back to loving Rolex.

>>15727664
I've seen those dials before.

>>15727664

>>15727696
>only JLC can do sector dials

>>15727694
>Co-Axial has no real merit
lol

>>15727696
Would be better without the date window to be honest.

>>15727707
>haha I've read an article about how it improves accuracy! I know better!
>how it works? well there's this additional sort of thing in there I saw a diagram once!

ok consoomer

>>15727694
I was the complete opposite though. When I was a normie I thought they were gaudy shit, once I started looking into watches I kind of liked them, and once I gained a real appreciation for watchmaking I didn't want one

>>15727711
I disagree. It's not obtrusive and fits into that dial well.

>>15727703
I never said they were the only ones.

>>15727568
>>Early Rolex watches were not basic. There were still extremely high end for the period.
Prove it.

>all 100 of these sold out in 2 minutes at $1500 each

when is zelos going to exit the microbrand pond and become a big brand?

>>15727732

High iq is just getting a casio and telling every else to fuck off.

Sup niggas. What's the best "dressy" diver I can get for under like $<700? No rehaut, applied indicies, high polish, ceramic bezel, no round indicies, sunburst dial.

I have the Kamasu and I really like it, but want something more high end.

No longines
No Chris ward
No Tissot
No Mido

I love pic related, and I like the Oris Aquis (minus the penis shaped hour hand) but they're slightly out of price range

>>15727937

If you're into the super compressor look there's this bad boy. Acrylic tho

>>15727954
Why not.

>>15727961
I don't get people's problem with acrylic. You can polish it to looking brand new and it's got better legibility in bright environments than mineral an ar coated sapphire.

>>15727966
I like acrylic to man. I like polishing it and it looks cool. But I added the caveat just because I know a lot of people want sapphire nowadays

>>15727937
i dont think theres much choice at <$700
this is the dressiest budget diver i can think of
has everything you want except ceramic bezel

Between the two budget shitter options, do you prefer the 4R36 slow-roll date change that takes a couple hours to switch over fully, or BOCTOK's 11:30 instant flip?

>>15728005
I'd rather it flip quick

Are watch rolls actually practical in any way?

>>15728014
I think If you travel often and want to have more than one it would be useful. Personally I'd only travel with one watch but im not exactly making bank.

>>15728027
Yeah I would only travel with 1 watch because I'd be afraid of the others being stolen out of my luggage. In fact I have a Casio World Time that I got specifically for travel.

>>15728014
I got one with my hked. It's a pretty nice an easy way to store watches if you dont mind having them on display. Easier than fucking around with pillows in watch boxes in my opinion. You could always do what another anon here does and just line a cigar box with fabric and lay them in it.

>>15728029
This, but if you wanted to bring multiple watches for travel, and they're expensive, just pay for yearly insurance on it, and hide it inside of something else rather than have a watch roll inside your baggage

>>15728030
*if dont mind not having them on display fuck sakes

>>15728030
I buy a big pack of generic Chinese socks and then put my watches in them, then stack them in a shoebox.

>>15728005
My vostok doesn't flip at 11:30, it flips at midnight like it's supposed to. Did you fuck your movement?

>>15728005
If I wore it daily then the vostok. She crisp. But if you have a few watches in rotation then the 4r just for the quick set. I'm a lazy bastard though

>>15728051
It flips between 11 and 12. That's how Vostoks are. They're not made to the tightest tolerances.

>spend months lamenting the lack of affordable good GMTs
>suddenly both Lorier and Baltic come out with theirs
Thats nice I suppose. Which one do you guys feel looks better?

>>15727558

Rate my rarest watch.

>>15728070
I prefer the Baltic. But it will just mean you are $1000 further away from the GMT you actually want. Why not do yourself a favor and avoid the microbrand shitter addiction?

>>15728073
A 24 hour dial is pretty neat. Not a fan of slide rules on watches personally though.

>>15728073
It hurts my eyes

>>15728070
Just buy a vostok gmt

>>15728074
DESU lorier and baltic are pretty good for the vintage aesthetic. I like the car and bracelet of the lorier more but I like the bezel and crown of Baltic better. The dial and crystal are a wash for me since I like acrylic crystals

Some nice effects are to be had when playing with the sun.

>A European court has told Lewis Hamilton a 100-year-old watchmaker may continue using his surname.
>Hamilton’s company "44IP" appealed to the European Union Intellectual Property Office over the use of the name by Hamilton International. The watch-making company was founded in Pennsylvania in 1892, 93 years before the Mercedes driver was born, and registered the term ‘Hamilton’ in 2014 for a range of goods.
>The court noted 44IP, “a company holding the intellectual property rights relating to the racing driver Lewis Hamilton”, brought a case in 2017 challenging the scope of the registration and arguing fair competition had been impeded. This was rejected, and 44IP appealed against the decision in February.
>The Fourth Board of Appeal ruled against 44IP following their latest attempt to stop the watchmaker using the name, stating its case was “not well-founded”. It noted the EUTM proprietor [Hamilton International] “has demonstrated a legitimate interest in the registration of the contested mark and its intention to register the contested sign falls within a normal commercial strategy on how to protect the intellectual property rights of the designation ‘Hamilton’.”
>“The argument relating to the IP rights of the racing driver ‘Lewis Hamilton’ fails,” it continued. “The contested mark consists solely of one word, ‘Hamilton’, and not ‘Lewis Hamilton’”, which it noted “is a rather common surname in English-speaking countries.”
>“There is no ‘natural right’ for a person to have his or her own name registered as a trade mark when that would infringe third parties’ rights,” it added.

Idiot! If he was smart he would approach them to make a collaboration watch for a start, and if it kicks off just strike a deal with them for his own signature line and that's that. At least that's what i'd do if i were a famous Hamilton.

>>15727737
What's the point of these tiny production quantities?

found a guy locally who has a complete vostok collection and is selling them at $50 a piece

VERY tempted

>>15728296
limited supply to maintain desirability, value and to reduce backstock

most microbrands dont have big production numbers anyway, but zelos goes extra nuts on it, they are probably the most 'deluxe' actual microbrand before you hit the one-man independents (konstatin chakyin, Ming, alexander shorokhoff etc)
a pain for casual customers (everything nice is sold out) great for resellers (try finding a zelos mako 2)

>watchmakers bending over backwards to out-autist other watchmakers

Ive seen so many watchfinder videos of various top end brands, how has noone seen the macro shots and stood back a moment?

GS at least brushes theirs, but the edges are still sawtoothed. Other companies are even worse, they look like stamped metal.

>hurr noone is ever going to see it anyway
Then why bother with autismal finishing in the first place?

>>15727727
Not that guy but the super early rolex watches had hallmarked silver cases, porcelain dials, and were carried by commissioned officers. You can't say that's not a high end watch.

>>15728247
This can't be real can it?

>>15728314
That's retarded, why would they just give free money to resellers like that?

>>15728355
Maybe they want to move into a more luxury market. Grand seikos problem is that you see low end seikos everywhere and people associate them with that.

If there are limited numbers of their mire budget offerings around and even those are being traded at a premium its hypes them up. Its probably the equivalent of free advertising.

>>15728335
GS does polish the backs of the hands on its top models.
See pic to have your mind blown.

That's the Seiko logo reflecting off the back of the seconds hand, and again off the top of one of the main hands.

>>15728492
day date sneedmaster is kino, what is that complication at 12?
And is this your collection?

>>15728503
For 50k I can get my knob polished every day for the rest of my life.

>>15728335
Yeah i was wondering about that also. When you're spending thousands on a watch you expect it to be perfect. If they can be bothered to polish all the edges of the bridges and plates for hours on end, then why not spend 10 more minutes finishing a set of hands? Some Pateks i've seen have such sloppy painted hands it's embarrassing.

>>15728551
Because if you have $25k for a watch, you'll possibly have $50k eventually, and they don't want you to just make a single purchase and be entirely happy with it forever. Are you new to capitalism?

>>15728577

Post soulful watches.

How do you like the decoration on the movement?

Was lucky enough to see one of these in person the other day. JLC Duometre Quantieme Lunaire. I’m a sucker for jumping seconds and this made me weak in the knees.

>>15728655
The movement is 2 independent mechanisms, one for the various functions and the other for regulation.

$43,000

>>15728655
What's wrong with quartz jumping seconds?

>>15728665
No soul

>>15728665
Nothing, though that JLC jumps every 1/6 second. It’s pretty amusing to look at because of how quickly it spins in the subdial.

>>15728672
seiko f9 is also hand finished and assembled

>>15728676
As much as I love GS and their quartz movements, I think it is misguided to compare them to a watch that costs 15x more.

>>15728655
what does the 6 oclock dial do?

>>15728648
i will never understand automatic watches with display casebacks (unless theres a micro rotor)

>>15728460
I’ve been after one of those for years. If you’re feeling poor and need money, I’ll buy that off you. Here’s an M Force, which is one of the most overbuilt watches for the money. I’m thinking of getting a shark mesh for it

>>15728678
Are Pateks really worth 15x more though?
Honestly so much of the watch industry is bullshit. You have to acknowledge it's all overpriced because you're paying for muh heritage and finishing and all that, but there has got to be a limit to simping for these companies and defending these exorbitant prices.

I’ve developed a soft spot for Seiko 5 JDM and international market shitters. Here’s a full lume dial with a kanji/Arabic day wheel. Recently overhauled myself and running reasonably well. Perfect for both weaboos and terrorists. Note: the bubbling lumibrite paint due to age and exposure to heat

>>15727636
I'm buying this, I think it looks nice.

>>15728699
this is a stupid question because a $2 spongebob watch keeps better time than any patek. the point is exactly because of the finishing and the heritage and the over engineering

>>15728724
OK but why is all that worth hundreds of thousands of dollars exactly?

>>15728726
the finishing and the heritage and the over engineering. watches of that caliber are moreso works of art than they are timekeeping devices, and a lot of thought and labor is put into a patek, at least enough to justify the crazy price for some people

Does fa like Jacobs? Anyone own one?

>>15728742
this unironically looks like a watch you would buy from a chinese store for $20

>>15728743
While this is true, the same goes for Richard Mille and other expensive brands.

>>15728749
You are just convincing me that luxury brands are shite

>>15728648
Not bad, is that a seagull movement?

>>15728743

They do have nice ones.. just depends if you wanna spend 50k as opposed to 5 - 10k like that one

>>15728717
So is the seiko ne15 (6r15) movement a drop in replacement for a NH 35 movement?
I can get an ne15 for $120, it is tempting to get one and throw in it some Chinese NH35 diver.

>>15727566
Nothing came with a milled clasp until fairly recently

>>15728765
The 6R is a modified 7S so it may be slightly thinner than the 4R but you might need a different movement holder because of this

>>15728759
what do you think a luxury watch does? sucks your dick? all they are are just very good watches

>>15728777
They aren't $50k good

>>15727575
Basically every non watch person knows Rolex. So if you're poor but you want to show your status you put all your money into a Rolex.

It's like the poorfags who get a Ferrari they can't really afford or the really poorfags who get a leased entry BMW/Mercedes. The whole point is to get normies to go "Oh dassa Bee Emm Dubbleyou!!! Dassa Fur rar wi!!! Dassa gooooood car!!"

It's not to say Rolexes are BAD, just like those cars mentioned aren't bad by and large but that is why there's an obsession with Rolex.

>>15727622
Aren't the newest Rolex movements actually pretty top-tier?

Have you heard about this thing called quartz?

>>15728717
Pretty based. Reminds me of the citizen chronomaster

>>15728726
because it's jewelry and art and that's how art and jewelry is valued

>>15727661
I really like the Chronomaster, but their line isn't as expansive as GS. It seems like anecdotally there are a lot of Chronomasters that don't deliver on their promised 5 SPY whereas a lot of GS 9Fs that promise only 10 SPY often deliver even better than that.

Solar quartz is nice though, I like the max bill mega solar

It’s a jumping seconds, but it jumps every sixth of a second. The big seconds hand functions normally.
>>15728699
>Are Pateks really worth 15x more though?
I don’t know. The reductionist says that something is worth whatever someone will pay. Even though I think Patek still makes the best watches in the world along with ALS (discounting any extreme niches like FP Journe), I find their constant price increases and slimy marketing techniques totally distasteful. Patek MSRPs were hiked up to 15% at the beginning of October.

Don’t get me started on the absolute insanity of the used market. Some of the blame lies with Patek but most of it lies with idiotic “investors.”

yeah. I'll say the Casio A700, which is the f91w with a better display, better backlight, steel band, mineral glass and thinner, like $10 more.

Basically they're so cheap everyone into watches knows it's based because no sane person would otherwise spend so little on a watch unless they were based and hiding their power levels.

Any good black friday deals? I still regret not getting a promaster last year

>>15727696
>>15727722
disgusting date window

Could anyone tell me what this logo is? Got a silver pocket watch with this logo on the movement and on the case.

>>15728864
>>15728875
These.
The AE1200 is like a GShock on a budget. It has so many great features. Silent operation, strong backlight, 10 year battery, 4 time zones. The sizing is perfect too. Big enough to be substantial, but still feather light and not too large.
And the A700 is just a straight upgrade to the F91W. It looks retro but adult. The display is great, and the band just works.

Citizens cost like $100-200 more (on Amazon) than they did last year. the fuck is going on?

Would you buy a watch from a brand called NTMA?

Wow this was a rabbit hole. Thanks! Wish I got a f91w while I was in the military.

For the second time in this thread (ok, maybe it was the last one), the difference between 6R and 4R is the mainspring material (7S was turned into a hacking, handwinding 6R with special alloy mainspring for longer power reserve, then that was downgraded to 4R). Both 6R and 4R are slightly thicker than 7S (mainly how high the hands sit, actually), but normally not enough to cause problems. You can use your old movement holder, if there's any difference. I wouldn't really bother swapping though, you already have all the same functionality in NH35 and it can be regulated pretty well. The difference in PR is not worth that much to me.

>>15728966
How so

Are working hard being on time planning for the cuture and science meant to be bad qualities?

I don't think so. I think it's just a strip of applied lume. Based on youtube reviews of some other models Citizen have very good lume.

>>15729013
I wanted to get one bad but after doing some more reading I got a different watch for about 100 more that has an eta movement with 28800 bph

>>15729037
glad the shilling didn't get to you
what watch?

JLC is the absolute chad of the horology world

>>15729039
A hamilton that was made before the h50 movement change.

>>15729018
Bikers yeah, better aerodynamics, and less friction inflammation.

>>15729035
It's a power reserve indicators for 2 barrels, look up reviews on this model

>>15729044
>>15729037

Shilled regardless lol

>>15729013

I would have bought the a JLC sector dial but I honestly like the dial on the Baltic more, jlc date window kills me and I would have to set it all the time which isn't great for those gold gears, I would rather had a better movement but it wouldn't have been 38mm then, anyway its all about the reverso with them.

>>15729064
Shaving bodyhair doesn't improve aerodynamics
when cycling, it does for swimming though.

>>15729080
I meant how are they connected to the watch? Now it appears like they were hovering magically.
Never mind i see it now, the arrows are stationary and the whole scale moves instead.

Weird way to spell casio

>>15729106
would be perfect if not for the skeletonized hands
never understood why they did that

>>15729116
It's a chronograph anon, the skeletonized hands are so that they don't get in the way of reading the subdials as much.

>>15729124
They did it on all the sector dial watches. I like it but can see why some wouldn’t.

One month on the wrist, literally flawless

>>15729161
typically not a fan of rolex homages but this looks okay

>>15729106
Maybe the JLC's layout is nicer but not £6400 nicer, I'm still not a fan of the light blue on the JLC and but it i was spending £7k on a JLC it would be a Duo faces or an ultra thin moon phase. Give the Baltic whatever shit you want, its a good looking watch for the money.

I keep going back on forth on my flavour of the week, but at this point I think it’s inevitable that the Seamaster Diver 300m white dial will be my first big boy watch for my birthday in a few months.

>>15729182
I'm not a big fan of the semenster, but if I had to pick one it would be the white dial with the rubber strap

Good evening /wt/

>>15729167
Yes it's called product segmentation. lets them milk the poor white "enthusiasts" with tudor and the rich chinks with rowlex.

>>15729174
stay mad that you get mogged by casio in the low end and the swiss in the high end. you will make a respected watch, just like trannies will never be women.

>>15729176
nice orient star homage. you even got the power reserve detail!

>>15729176
I could be a billionaire and I would still never buy a watch with a pointer date subdial, it must be an optical illusion but the 311 always looks like it's misaligned in every single one that I've seen.

Am I the only one who judges watches depending on the brand name and logo? for example I would never buy a Sinn because the logo looks like the one of a random 50$ walmart brand

>>15729402
No your probably not the only one but its retarded. Should be based on the design of the dial and case shape, also some specs.

Your just nitpicking to making excuses so you don't have to buy a watch but you probably like the design, just admit it to yourself, your a poor fag.

>>15729402

>>15729280
It's more of an overseas dial into a nautilus case. When I look at it from an angle the dial looks like the one on the 4500v. The markers and sloped chapter ring look similar too. The bezel doesn't even look octagonal unless you really focus on it. What I love though is the brush and polish ratio on the case. It is just right.

>>15729280
>>15729425
Also, the applied markers are a bit misleading in the photo. They are not that elevated, but rather flat, which cheapens the look sadly.

to be fair outlet anon just posted the link for information, you were meant to copy paste the model no. and find it from a normal website

>>15729524
I actually thought it was for sale. I have no idea why they would be saying something from the outlet store is backordered, they usually pull down listings when something sells out since they are clearing old stock.

>>15729520
That rotor is neat.

>>15729436

Yea okay, go for it, I think as of now its a better buy than the 36mm, 36mm is underwhelming and especially for a sports watch, could deal with it when it was half the price of the 39mm but not now. I do miss the gloss dial on the of the 36 vs the matte of the 39 but the build quality differents is night and day.

I would just put your name down at your ad, wait it out but if you can't or are a 1 watch guy fair enough.

Just a word of warning the explorer / 2 is due an update in the next year or two, new movement and they will probably thin the lugs and case down a bit like they did with the datejust and sub. Good luck getting it when that happens, so it is probably a good time to buy, idk if I would sell my gold bullion? You meant to keep that bro, just saying.
