Well, this thread's off to a wonderful start

Imo wearing a watch outside of business settings is giga cringe. It shows you're obsessed with time, a penny pinching miser. It makes women dry like the desert.

>>15729671
That's a retarded opinion of a simpleminded fool.

>>15729660
I really want a watch in that style, really liking Bertuccis but having a hard time finding any close to me

>>15729671
This is dumb. My job is dominated by whatever time our laptops give especially now we're all working from home. I think if I actually used my watch in a business setting I'd be late for shit.

It's quite a large watch but 7.5 should be more than large enough to wear one.

No, I’m too autistic and preoccupied with separating the individual components that make up the chili I cooked for dinner. I need to do this while playing the MGSV “Sins of the Father” theme on loop.

Get a square and then get a gold aliexpress bezel and bracelet to match your other watches. But really you should consider buying the citizen ana digi temp reissue.

Was I baited?

>>15729944
if you live in EU you should be aware of how expensive (((VAT))) is

>>15729940
They make a gold a700 already and I got a gold bracelet

>>15729954
Yea, its on everything. Who even thinks of vat, its on the invoice.... like every invoice my whole life. I'm talking about the watch.

>>15729944
I don't think so. It looks good if nothing else.

>>15729956
I would get something more interesting. A gold dw5600 or citizen anadigitemp would be a nicer adition than an a700. You already have a watch that has the same functions as the a700, get something for some variety.

>>15729944
A fucking fifth of the price of the thing
20%
How do you euros stand it?

SMAEL shitter is as good as nutnfancy claimed it was, a steal for a 12$ watch

>>15729993
Free healthcare. (Almost) Free University education. Working infrastructure.

I'd take that over having to pay no VAT.

all that stuff isn't "free" you fool
it's subsidized by stuff like VAT

yoooooooooooo this nigga actually fell for the shilling and got a BALLStic lmao

Compare £10k to around $60+k per year for a US uni. Other European countries its actually free.

>>15730006
> it's subsidized by stuff like VAT
No shit sherlock. That was the point. VAT is a 'fair' tax because richer people buy more things and end up paying more tax.

Just get an Edifice Black Label.

>>15729944
The fact that the crosshairs and the logo are printed on little raised sections makes the watch literally ascended tier

>>15730018
Then get a dw5600 and get the gold aliexpress bezel.

As a tea-drinking brit who worked in the us for many years I can say that as bad as you think the UK is in that regard, it's certainly worse than some places in Europe, it is still a mile better than most places in the US. No one wants to make anyone pay taxes to afford to do anything, arguments between city and state who pays or does basic shit like fix holes in freeways or roads etc. For the so called richest country in the world you'd be amazed how much of it is a shithole.

The Casio A700 really does seem like the perfect minimalist watch

You do realise most of those posts are the police having a laugh. They just stop some spotty teenage mobs and take their shit off them and embarrass them on twitter. If you did the same in the US the kids would have guns and shoot the cops dead. Think I'm more than okay being brit.

>>15730121
I have explained this a few times but I guess one more won't hurt.

The UK has for many years had a lot of city knife crime. It's basically entirely niggers stabbing niggers. It got seriously bad in around 2005-2010 until the police finally got permission to enact a controversial stop and search where they basically targeted black young men and got a lot of knife crime levels down.

But that stop and search got stopped because of politics even though it was fantastic, and now knife murders in English cities are higher than ever. These silly little public displays of police very clearly not doing a correct job is an unspoken protest by the police that the police are unable to take on the true criminals because they don't have the laws to do so.

>>15730123
Healthcare isn't a right you cannot compell someone to treat you because the gobment.
>>15730132
Can't hear you over this freedom to buy ar15s and .357 magnums.

I'm tired of these fashion watch brands commissioning artists I like to draw these shitters.

Gonna get a Gucci watch like pic related. Specifically the bumble bee with the green striped band. Would this be a nice f-you flex? I think any watch more than a grand is kinda retarded

>>15730177
45,000 people in the US still die anually because they cant afford healthcare, also racism is bad

What kind of life expectancy can I get out of a 4r36 movement assuming an easy life for the watch but no servicing? It's crunch time between the only mechanical I can afford and a quartz. If life expectancy is the sole buying criteria what should I do? You /wt/ anons have given me a boner for an automatic with that smooth second hand movement but I don't want to buy a white elephant.

>>15730187
Nonono you or a different anon made the assertion it should be a right. Now you are being forced to pay more taxes to not have the choice or a health care provider because I wub my gobment.

Invictas are future classics. First they'll go entirely out of fashion and many mechanical ones will get discarded as getting them repaired won't be economical but a few decades later they will be regarded as the most iconic watches of the first quarter of the 21st century. They'll be highly collectable, especially amongst a new generation of SEA watch collectors, with the most obscene and morbidly oversized limited edition models fetching exorbitant prices. Unironically the best long term investment pieces in the market.

Np bro. Just glad to see someone getting the thread back on track.

>>15730288

why arent micro rotors more common?

>>15730309
You need a thick piece of dense metal to produce the same torque as the thinner full rotors. So a good chunk of expensive precious metals is always needed which is expensive. It also requires a movement built around it. You can't simply modify an existing movement.

>>15730309

micropenis

>>15730288
They do totally encapsulate everything wrong with the modern watch industry. Amazing really.

Can someone comment on my bullshit blacked out obsession and persuade me into it or dissuade me entirely.

I feel something like this would be a great "one watch collection" for me - it's not $20k so it can be a beater, it's a respectable brand that people actually know, so it's a "nice watch", and it's a military looking watch which is the style I like.

The only problem is that the bullshit coating gets worn and scratched in like a week, so all the used ones look terrible.

What do?

>>15730352
learn to refinish it yourself every week

>>15730347
tungsten is pretty dense too, but i suppose that makes sense

I hope this isn't shilling but I'd like to mention that cwsellors.co.uk have very quick and helpful customer service. I queried the details of a particular watch I was thinking of buying and they went and took a pic of it and emailed it to me within 24 hours and some subsequent questions were answered within an hour. They aren't the kind of store you can haggle with unless you have leverage but I think good service (even for someone who hasn't bought anything) should be recognised.

>>15730352
I have a Seiko Monster with PVD coating. It has moderate plating loss on the hard corners of the bezel, case, and bracelet. Despite all of this, I think it looks great, because the toolishness of the design lends itself to wear and tear. Pic related isn't PVD, but you get the point. Your Breitling Avenger is DLC coated, which is much more durable than Seiko's PVD. The bold design of the bezel, with its angles and use of engraving for notches and numbers, can handle some wear and tear. Get it, it'll look good. Also, this guy >>15730353 is probably joking, but refinishing DLC for watches can get costly.

lol.

>>15730415
Well since the watch is oil filled (and therefore incompressible) the true depth rating is "any reachable depth"

racism is bad imo

>>15730434
that sounds really cool, kinda curious to run some DIY oil filling on my vostok

why are gmts so expensive

>>15730445
I admire your enthusiasm (isn't it just the most perfect pressure resistance solution?) but there are 2 things you should consider. Can you fill the watch with oil leaving absolutely zero air? Can the movement in your watch run in a fluid medium?

>>15729743
That's a halftone print not texture, right? Love it.

>>15730445
You will kill it. Not a joke.

i dont farm in souls game, literally every run i just kill every enemy i know of and play the game how its supposed to be played. or are you implying by playing the game normally youll eventually be overleveled? because this is actually true. killing one lord will result in you being overleveled for the other 3 lord levels since they dont actually scale with your character which is retarded

No micro adjustable clasp, the bezels to wide, looks shit in strap. You really wanted a sub.

>>15730503
i will, going to look through some of my local hardware stores and the like for some needed materials

>>15730495
Thank you for your service true gamer veteran, but you shouldn’t justify a purchase based off of some person saying that X watch is closest thing to the watch form of a video game, because they are both two completely different things.

Rate my collection.

>>15730517
>but you shouldn’t justify a purchase
thats just your opinion. and anyway its not like i bought a new watch

>>15730519
needs more color and less gshock

>>15730519
boring as a collection but each piece is very nice

>>15730525
I will say when I wear the Speedmaster it's usually on a NATO strap with a bit of color. I could see a need for a little more pop though. As for less G-Shock, you're wrong about that. I feel like everybody should have at least one. That is a full-metal one though, it's pretty nice.

>>15730530
Yeah I never really thought about how boring it really is all together.

>>15730483
always thought these were sick
especially with the oil temp gauge

>>15730519
Needs color, kinda boring. It's just a bunch of memes and no personal taste.

>>15730519
Do you actually own these, or is this what your ideal collection would look like?

>>15730525
>needs (...) less gshock
How can you be so wrong in so few words.

>>15730539
I own them, the only one I'm looking to change out is the JLC, and maybe the G-Shock if every ever come out with a fully brushed finish version.

>>15730519

Speedy is great, whatever the retards here say. Just so good looking in person. Get the upgraded clasp.

Errr the Tudor pelagos, I personally don't like it, thick but light, feel cheap in hand maybe I would get over it in time, id rather a Sub (retarded pricing) or seamasters (one brand, go with the speedy) i can see why you have went with it.

I like Laco, underrated, I think their higher end watches are better than Stowas for quality and a bit cheaper. I'd rather have an A dial.

JLC love it! Great brand, id probably go with a reverso but master is great too. I would like more contrast in the hand vs dial but its a dress watch so its not so bad.

Drop the gshock, I know I know its for cutting the grass, at the gym whatever, just use your phone.

Timeless collection, will look good in 10 years. Swatch the Tudor pelagos for a blue 58 thats all I can can really. Grand seiko sbgw231 is another option for the JLC, the JLC is probably better.

>>15730149
>wants to flex
>I think any watch more than a grand is kinda retarded
I think it's you who is retarded

>>15730512
>>15730503
>>15730476
It literally isn't possible to work. You're wasting time and money.

>>15730483
There is a reason the movement in this watch is separated from the oil filled dial.

>>15730547
>Drop the gshock, I know I know its for cutting the grass, at the gym whatever, just use your phone.
>just use your phone
Are you lost? Did you forget where u are? Also there's literally nothing wrong with having a gshock, you're just being a snobby faggot.

>>15730374
>Your Breitling Avenger is DLC coated, which is much more durable than Seiko's PVD.
Yeah I guess it depends on what you're doing with it - this guy's Avenger is from 2018 for example, and it looks like this, some are much worse, some are much better, from how many I've seen I would say that this is on the better end of average. Do you think this is acceptable?

>Also, this guy >>15730353 is probably joking, but refinishing DLC for watches can get costly.
I know, supposedly they can do it when you send it for a full service though.

>>15730530
>>15730534

Boring collection is a term thrown around way to much, ah it boring, saw all these before. When you drop £10k on watches a lot of guy play it safe, so they can wear the watches year in year out, watches that don't ages or fall out of fashion are also classed as boring.

>>15730547
Wow, I've never had somebody get the "one brand" thing before, good shit. Yeah with a small collection I didn't want to have multiple from one brand.

Ironically, the whole time I was saving for my diver I had the Seamaster in-mind. It wasn't until I was ready to purchase and I went to an AD and tried on both watches that I bought the Pelagos. The Seamaster was very nice, probably a better watch, but it ended up just looking so flashy. With that reflective ceramic dial, the polished hour markers, glossy bezel, it just shimmered like a disco ball, and the Pelagos was so the opposite that I just absolutely loved it.

>>15730558
When all your watches are black and white memes it's boring. It's the equivalent of dressed by the internet but for watches.

>>15730240
Is that a ring shaped winding weight? Pretty neat, looks nicer than a microrotor.

>>15730547
As for the rest, I didn't know there was an upgraded Speedy clasp I'll have to look into that. I do normally wear it on a NATO or a leather anyways though, it's a strap-monster! Laco I appreciate that you like it, I was also between this ans Stowa but the case shape just sold me on it. I was aiming for the A dial, but I decided I wanted to see how the B dial was for daily use with the minutes having more focus, and I actually really dig it. Plus it looks more like an actual dial in a cockpit. The JLC was actually sort of a compromise, I'd like to get something hand-wound and with a little more personality, but I got it for a great price. The G-Shock doesn't get much wrist time admittedly, but there's something charming and humbling about the $40 watch that people put just as high as luxury brands in terms of respect.

As far as the Blue BB58, as much as I love the style of that watch, my diver tends to be my daily, and my daily needs a date window, no exceptions.

>>15730552
100% not a snob,I have had 3, g shocks, square, king (picked up in tokyo) and metal square. Oh and that metal square it so top heavy its ridiculous, its unwearable, braclets light so I has no counter. You just end up wear the gshock to much, so like and comfy. You end up wearing your nice watches less, I moved to wering £300-900 watches instead of a gshock for around the house.

>>15730563
>black and white memes
I don't understand why something being known automatically makes it a "meme". You wear Red Wings for the heritage and durability and people call them "meme boots", you wear a Speedmaster because of the attachment to the Apollo missions and the history and it's a "meme watch". People like it so you shouldn't like it. I didn't buy the watches because they were popular, but it turns out people like a cool story or a nicely made watch.

>>15730570
I have an a dw5610 with a chink metal bezel and bracelet and don't find it to be top heavy at all, very comfy watch.

>>15730576
>because something is popular that makes it a meme
You aren't very bright, are you?

>>15730519
Sell the speedy reduced and buy a modern 38mm sneedmaster.
Sell the g-shock and get the black titanium model.
Otherwise fantastic.

>>15730576
reddit wings are meme boots because they masquerade as quality boots when they're bottom of the barrel quality wise that only sell as they're marketed as heritage """work""".
buying reddit wings essentially tells me that you put in about 30 seconds of research to find the first thing above made in china boots that had all the feel good buzzwords that you can spout off to your friends to justify buying $300 boots that are factory seconds of factory seconds when compared to other MiUSA brands

>>15730586
Not him but that is the literal definition of a meme anon.

>>15730576
Non of your watches indicate any personal taste.

>>15730592
I think if you knew me you'd think they fit my "personal taste" perfectly. If anything my friends are surprised that I like the blued hands on the Laco.

>>15730590
No, that's half of what makes a meme.
If that were the real definition, then everything that is popular would be a meme and that simply isn't true.

>>15730590
Yeah, that's because he misquoted it.

>>15730554
I really want to like the avenger lineup but they're all so big, they looks like invictas.

>>15730589
To be fair I also own a pair of Thursdays and a pair of Danners, but yes, I wasn't looking to spend a ton, just get some nice enough boots with a Goodyear welt that will last longer than how insanely fast I was burning through sneakers.

>>15730606
Also the other two don't get called "meme boots".

>>15730596
>everything that is popular would be a meme
Yes, that is by definition what a meme is.

Yea I get the 1 brand thing, I struggle with it as well, I see the seamaster as a placeholder for a sub if I ever get a call? Happy to get on the list honestly, they were not taking anyone for a year there at my ad. Maybe they put my apacation in the bin? Either way placeholder or fuck you to Rolex, seamaster a nice watch.

Most of the guys here at /wt/ don't get it, they call it boring, I can see its a well thought out collection, colourful dial watch get old fast and the blue need to be just right. Gets expensive quick running after dial colours and you rarely wear them because they are hard to match with outfits and a lot if the time can look tacky. Just change your strap colours.....

Good collection, you know what your doing, add as you see fit. I'm going to add a Reverso in the next year most likely.

>>15730588
>reduced
Like I said they know nothing here.

>>15730616
I mean I didn't impulse-buy all of them yesterday, I've been collecting for years now, and I've had to save up for every one of them. Hell, even that G-Shock that's like $600.

>>15730543
Post pics.

>>15730626
Oh I realize I never addressed the Submariner, either. So like I said for the Black Bay I need a date window, and I absolutely cannot stand the Rolex cyclops date magnifier.

I like that collection as well, I've thought about one of those Sea-Gull "vintage" watches. They always just look so nice.

>>15730612
Now show me in that screencap where it says that in order to be a meme something must be popular.
Memes can forced, they can be about something unpopular or hated, they can be completely empty and without significant meaning or substance.
Memes are spread mindlessly by people who are copying others in their culture; it doesn't mean the meme is popular or has any significance. They're a product of groupthink and tribalism.
Things like consumer products aren't necessarily memes because they're popular, they're memes because people mindlessly consume them out of a desire to be part of an accepted group.
In turn, another group becomes contrarian and dislikes a product because they are popular with a group they don't like. Then their unpopularity becomes a negative meme about them.
Tl;dr: memes are about group identity and tribalism, not popularity

>>15730585
The real one is a brick, its 30g heavier than a speedy and 70% of the weight is in the head vs the speedy perfect head to braclets ratio.

>>15730627
I said fuck off not fuck on.

>>15730604
>I really want to like the avenger lineup but they're all so big, they looks like invictas.
This one is 44, so within the limits still.

>>15730638
It definitely is heavy, and top-heavy to boot, but it doesn't seem to bother me any. I got it sized pretty well so it doesn't slide side-to-side too much.

>>15729587

>>15730632
I want the no date, I hate it as well. I change my watch everyday so dates are a pain for me.

They wear well, look great, as long as you know what you're getting yourself in for they are great but I think of them as a bit of fun, I have had issues with them to be honest but I've had 4 and 1 was just problematic (chrono button not as crisp as it should have been) and and another had chrono sec off by a 10th of a sec but they are cheap.

iwc have to be the most overpriced shitboxes. Some of them look ok, but then you dig into the specs and they're an instant no. Even if someone gave me one, I'd sell it and get two better watches.

Not OP but just googled Tourby. Seem great value at a glace. I just hate how big they are. Fully admit to being a wristlet but who wants a 45mm 18th century inspired dress watch? The customer pictures look like they've strapped dinner plates to their wrists. Do you know any other small brands with a similar aesthetic and pricepoint in traditional sizes?

>>15729587
Nice Parnis homage bro.

If you'd rather pay tens or hundreds of thousands for basic healthcare costs then fuck of to the USA you absolute cunt.

>>15730698
I know you meant that as an insult, but I honestly take it as quite a compliment. In basically all of my hobbies I like to keep my collections pretty small while still covering as many categories as I can. Sound like you think I should have gone for more sleeper companies with all of that "horological knowledge", but it also sounds like I did that well. Also if you count when I started saving for the first one, this collection is like six years in the making, definitely not a weekend.

Yea, errr not going to lie its pretty big, 42mm no bezel white dial, feels like a 44mm but the lug to lug is 49mm so it wears fine, it can be a bit dinner plate is but I fucking love the looks and the unitas is amazing to wind.
