Does buying a rolex or patek let me skip a level?

https://youtu.be/hIlU8n4Z4bY

Where do you get your fix, strapoholics? Im in yurop and use uhrenarmbandversand and trendart24, sometimes amazon, but I dont want to support that fag any longer. Any (international) brands you recommend? Ive been burned by the cheapestnatostraps bitch in added fees.

Currently on a lookout for an adjustable rubber strap with a clasp.

Where's the /wt/ style shill for watches you don't own?

>>15760206
Goes on through the whole timelapse.

would you pay $1200 for a field watch?

>seiko SUS 4S15 SCFF
>one of the nicest and most faithful examples of what a traditional field watch is
>hacking, handwinding, hi-beat (4hz), kino size at 35mm, just wow
>seiko retired this JDM only model after only a single year (1997)
>seiko would never make the exact same thing again(except a reissue in quartz)
>after couple of websites featured this watch, the prices have rose to at least $1000+++

>Retire beloved model for no fucking reason
>seiko fansöys let the prices moon
JUST söiko things. Old alpinist and many more are sending their regards.

There is only one design from seiko that i honestly like. The rest either lacks in dial or in case design for me. It's always a bit off. It's sometimes close but never love at first sight. Captain willards is one of these rare cases. Thank god for chinks. Not playing seikos gay little limited edit game.

>>15760242
No need. You made a claim. You need to prove it. >>15760228

>>15760229
39-41mm is the ideal watch size
prove me wrong wristlets

>>15760228
no, field watches were small, that is legit
they are supposed to be out of the way and not snag on things like your webbing or on branches or whatever
35mm ish was a very common size
the watches issued by the military in ww2 were 32mm and up, like the bulova A11 (watch on wrist)

>>15760229
Agreed
Fuck large watches

Fat watches for uneffay fat cumdumps. Don’t change my mind.

>>15760255
that's because they were worn as tools and not as fashion. if you wore a watch that small today you would look like a tool.

>>15760265
very clever of you to use the word tool in two senses to make an intelligent observation

Imagine thinking Archie isn't the best watch connoisseur on youtube

Guy here who needs a watch for his banking job. I think I'm gonna up my budget to 1000$ and I think I'm going with an Omega Constellation or Geneve. Which one is better and where's the difference? But I am really scared about buying a vintage watch in such a high price range.

>>15760316
I would not recommend buying a vintage as your first expensive watch. The are less reliable, less accurate, less rugged, harder to set and need more servicing. Get something modern and never have to worry about it for the next 10 years.

>>15760316
Get a MAN ON THE PHUUUUUUUUUUUCKINNNNNNNN MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO=NNNNNN CUNTER

>>15760320
Or use your phone kek get a seiko or casio U literally overpay for the same function

I received it. I was afraid it would look big on me because I'm a wristlet but it seems to fit?! My first watch ever

>>15760323
Are you an idiot? They are fashion items to look good with in a job like banking. Like wearing a suit. No one in such a job buys a nice watch for function.

>>15760316
Get a Junghans, is the perfect office watch

Good taste

Yeah I wouldn't even mind if it sucked at keeping time, I'm at the computer most of the time anyways and have a phone. I just need a good watch to compliment my suit. There's a reason this general is on effay and not on gee.

>>15760316
Here, get a Hamilton jazzmaster. A little over 500 bucks, not gaudy or flashy but just dressy enough to look good with business attire. A good entry level watch.

>>15760326
Man these dials look cheap to me but it's personal taste I guess, I can't understand their popularity whatsoever.

We ain't talking about your penis, phucker

Someone in an earlier thread said that tutima and damasko tested the durability of their movements for pilots, but I'm not sure what they did. Usually the balance wheel is the one that shits itself on high forces first. When I look at this damasko c51 the balance wheel looks the same. And their other chronograph is just a valjoux 7750. So what gives?

Junghans huh, I'll look into it. Nomos is a bit out of my price range I think and I'm actually from Germany, it seems like every zoomer pseud runs around with one.
>>15760345
I like that look, would be better in steel but I'm sure there's something there.

>>15760384
There's quite a few jazzmaster models to choose from.
Hamilton makes good watches for business attire if you want something nice that doesn't stand out too much

>>15760384
Much better than a NOMOS IMO

Did you drink out of you're waifu today /wt/?

Buy an F300Hz, it's a bit more interesting and you can get some in great condition that are fairly reliable. Pic related.

I've thought about Sinn but their prices are just unrealistic. At 2000€ and more I can get a scuffed Rolex.

Have to say I'm not really feeling it with these mid tier shitters to be quite honest. You guys gave me great ideas and I've been browsing chrono24 for the entire afternoon now but I just don't feel it, there's always something that bothers me. Maybe I should just get a citizen eco drive and wait for real money.

I honestly cannot like German watches. German people are dull and so are their watch designs.

Just take a look at this shitter. It looks like something one would buy for 200 rupees from a market in Mumbai. BORING

Any reason I would want an in-house movement over a generic one like ETA?

>>15760553
So you can pay more at service time
To appease /wt/

Many in-house movements are eta clones

Is it just me or is there an uptick of /wt/ posters with king seikos

Ya I've noticed it too. They're going up in price as well as lord marvels. My Lordmatics aren't though, probably gonna get one more before it happens

Thinking if getting my girl a watch for xmas.
What's something cute that'll impress her that isn't a total shitter? Preferably under 1k but willing to spend more on a nice piece.

He just said the lord matic. Also, the even older seiko watches like the seiko laurel, champion, and other obscure names are still cheap. I'm not sure why you'd want one, though, given that seiko mechanical movements got better and better every year until just before quartz, before going sideways for a while.

>>15760690
I'd say if value retention is your main goal a Steel Daytona is a little bit better than the RO still. Royal Oaks also scratch really easy and the Rolex is a bit tougher, ceramic bezel or not.
Personally I really dislike the modern Daytona simply because it's actually hard to read the time and I've found out that I hate screw down pushers in a chronograph. It's never ready for you to use when you want it to.
In conclusion: I'd get the Royal Oak and get a Speedy later. Where would you even buy the RO?

Alright /wt/ I'm taking your advice on this one, last thread I asked for a recommendation for a chrono under $400 and this was mentioned. Last chance to change my mind if anyone has another suggestion.

>>15760565
>>15760572
I just pulled the trigger on a decently priced (for a watch I'll be servicing myself) 5625-7113. Still, barely stayed inside my budget for that. Tried to get some cheap LMs to restore too (since I already have some spare 5606s for parts) and sell at reddit prices, but all of those quickly rose outside my self-imposed price limits. Including a nice 5606-7090 that kinda I wanted for myself. Things really aren't what they used to be, or I've just been insanely lucky before.

>>15760745
>chink shit
I'd rather get a Bulova or a Tissot in that price range

I'm getting some linux mint vibes from this.

>>15760761
How much are they these days?

>>15760720
83XX and 51XX models are still less know, and they are very nice, not as common movements (though admittedly not as good as 56s and especially 52s).

Rolex will always be easier to sell because the second hand market for them is so large. But it's not like the AP would be that hard either. No one has a crystal ball to tell the future but based on the past it's unlikely there will ever be that much of a difference between the steel or ceramic bezel.

You can still pretty easily get a 56KS in good external condition and everything working for under 300€, even the more wanted models with the gold medal. I paid way less for this one, but it needs a new crystal (which is a hassle to swap because it's a bonded type) and running but no idea about condition (I don't mind, I have spares for the parts that usually break). Pictures were not great but as far as I could see, dial and hands were perfect and case unpolished, just dirty. Those are more important for me because I can't do much about them.
For 45KS in good condition, a bit more but surprisingly little difference. For 56LMs, 50€ for ugly ones and over 100€ for popular ones. Even beat up ones seem to rise close to thay these days, which stops making sense for me if I just need them for parts.

>>15760547
bauhaus is the equivalent of boring swedish furniture

>>15760766
>>15760967
Also, sometimes you can just get really lucky elsewhere too. I got a 52KS from ebay for practically nothing because the seller had shitty pictures and shitty description and I just happened to see it. Only bidder.
I probably should shut up though. I'm just increasing my competition.

I've already got one regulated KS, I was just wondering if the prices shot up or something. If I wanted more watches they would probably be something else like a vintage omega or something

>Why not do a smaller, slimmer wire lug Radiomir, instead?
They already have back in around 2012 with the PAM 338 but it was a limited edition. 42mm diameter with an ultra thin movement. I’m not surprised people don’t want thinness from Panerai. A big part of the appeal is their chunkiness.

The Due is a complete disaster though. 30m of water resistance is a total joke, don’t know who signed off on that one.

Yea thats my thoughts as well, the Daytona is the better buy, if I need to move it on it would be easier. Its not my main reason but is important to me. Thanks I just needed to hear what I knew. 100% going for a daytona, just need to fine the right one. I have a dealer near me or trusted large only seller.

Just pick a nice quartz shitter with a recognizable name and a design language that she will likely appreciate and her friends will compliment her on.

I want a watch like a gshock in terms of hardiness, but I dont want casio. What do?

>>15761268
Top kek

>>15761388
Most quartz watches can take a beating. A quartz diver like a citizen is a good choice. durability of a quartz movements and iso certified to 200m. Even g shocks aren't diving certified though will most likely hold up.

>>15761370
youre right, especially the casio right most and the yema.

gshock literally holds the guinness records for the toughest watch (still working after being driven over by a 20-ton truck)

My wrists are 21 cm and rather wide instead of round and I find that most 36 mm watches look ridiculous on it. Explorer is a bit better then Datejust but still. (pic unrelated)

I said get something that fits you. That Panerai is too big (although that's part of their charm), your Rolex is too small. Watches that small looked on some decades ago, now they only make you look cheap (it isn't even vintage, fuck me dead)

>>15761570

all mallshitters for men are >40mm
you will find all kinds of garish big watches on aliexpress, there isnt even a proper watch under 40mm

how do i quit this stupid "hobby"

>>15761659
realize that a man only has two wrists and only needs to wear 1 watch at a time, and pare your collection down to 4-5 watches

Whatever you do always buy the metal bracelet. Tudor gives you the nato or rubber strap for free if you order the metal bracelet but if you order it on rubber you'll have to pay a huge amount of money to upgrade to the bracelets (like 300+ dollars).

>>15761682
So you don't have individual pictures of your watches and serial numbers for insurance purposes?

Are we still posting shitters?

>>15760166
I'm torn between a Tudor Pelagos or buying a fair bit of gold since the price dipped. Been thinking about it for weeks and I can't make a decision

>>15761710
Well you see, he doesn't own a single one of those watches he listed.

>>15761712
This proves why I chose the 36mm.

>>15761679
>Suit jacket still buttoned up while sitting

>>15761713
Buy a golden watch instead? Gold Subs are really hot right now.
Pelagos is cool too though.

>>15761715
Tbf thats not the best angle but ya 36mm is the better size overall.

>>15761717
Gold watches are a bit expensive for me. I got a decent bonus at work, so I've got a budget of about $5k aud. Tossing up between a few $5kish watches or about 2 ounces of Gold

I've had a few similar tier watches and gold before, but have always sold them and made a couple hundred dollars. A first Omega in space is also another option. But the damn gold is being too alluring

>>15761713
Get the pelagos senpai, you can't wear bullion and the price of gold is going to crater once covid is over

This 39mm shitter will be on my wrist till I die.

>>15761721

>>15761733
I can get both if I don't buy my girlfriend an engagement ring. But she is pretty good, so I kind of want to do that

>>15761742
You can afford the ring but I guarantee you can't afford the wife

Get a watch and a new girlfriend

>>15761737
I want this with the new colors

>>15761713
Tbh I like the pelagos but the dial reminds me of a really nice seiko monster with the inset indices and plasticky texture

>>15761750
When you see it irl it looks much better

>>15761742
Get the ring you muppet, its just a watch, you have years to buy them.

>>15761755
it looks worse since you notice the huge amount of text on it

>>15761763
Nitpicking is for poorfags anon

>>15761744
She pretty good, I'm not a fool and haven't shacked up with a middle class luxury demanding girlfriend. She drives a shitbox Toyota and works a regular job, she doesn't want a high income lifestyle, maybe a house close to the beach. I want a wife, not a girlfriend. Only ever really met two people I'd really want to be my wife in my life, one of them being her

>>15761750
I like the casualness of it, I'm usually wearing a t shirt and shorts 90% of the time. I can't wear a watch at work either

>>15761760
I'm getting the ring. I can afford two out of the three options of engagement ring, watch and gold bullion. Ring is a 99% certainty, but I'm 50/50 on the Gold or watch

>>15761763
I reckon it looks pretty good IRL

>>15761755
Ya I know it does I just cant shake the association. Not even a bad association as I like the monster (best poorfag watch when seiko actually made good poorfag watches)

>>15761715
what the fuck, no lume on the numbers?why?

>>15761794
no one really knows. they didnt put it on until 2016 and the new cases and dial are to "maxi" for my taste

Every explorer post just makes me want one less and less

am i going to break the first watch i try to service?

>>15760831

>>15761851
Likely. That's why it's best to try it out on some cheap movement.

>>15761505
beautiful. i really like it

How many fucking times is this retard going to post his Explorer? At some point surely this is just spam.

>>15761869
can you reccomend me a shitty watch to work on first?

>>15761884
let him post his watch. its very pretty

>>15761885
Some cheap as chips russian movement maybe. I know there are other cheap movements recommended but I don't remember the specific calibers off hand.

>>15761556
The GMT is too damn thick. The original Black Bay 58 > blue one

>>15760223
The only people who should consider paying $1200 for that watch are vintage Seiko collectors. Even if you're enough of an autist to realize what the 4S15 is and why it is special, it's available much cheaper in old 4S15 powered Alpinist models.

Chronometre bleu is the most reddit watch.

UPS is really fucking me. Apparently they charge like $10 or $20 PER DAY for every day that they have my package in customs. They keep giving me the runaround when trying to get my package released

What the actual fuck

>>15761923
What do they have of yours?

>>15761918
Not him but tbf most good condition red alpinists are just over a grand nowadays too.

>>15760316
Under no circumstances should you be considering spending $1,000 on a vintage watch if you don't know enough about the model(s) you're considering to be able to independently evaluate their condition, originality, and pricing relative to condition. You will be an easy mark to get ripped off otherwise.

>>15760435
>Recommending a vintage tuning fork to someone who doesn't know anything about watches.
Is this bait?

Poorfag here. Really love the airman but can't afford to spend that much for a watch atm. Any cheaper alternatives? I can go till 250 euros.

>>15761939
Keep saving your money, son

>>15760565
I haven't been around these threads for a long time and I have a couple of them. The old Daini produced King Seiko models in particular are often a great value because Daini never really respected the Suwa originated Grand Seiko being made the flagship model line and kept right on adjusting their King Seiko models to better than rated standards.

>>15760572
Are you talking about Ebay pricing or Yahoo! Japan Auctions pricing? Last I looked, LM Specials were still extremely cheap on Y! Japan Auctions.

>>15760166
Words cannot express my sadness that I wasn't able to cop one of these in time.

>>15761928

Literally just a shitter that I bought from Eastern Europe. I have no idea why UPS took interest in it but I am finding out that UPS has the worst fucking customs procedures.

>>15761659
Spend less time on the internet particularly those places where watches are discussed or sold.

Likewise it will also help if you take stock on the amount of value you get out of each single watch you own and understand that watches are generally just jewellery for men.

>>15760690
The fact that people actually pay 20k+ for these armani tier shitters makes me physically angry. What an exercise in shit design

Any Bauhaus recommendations for under $400

6.5 inch wristlet here and I have recently seen the tisell and sternglas naos and they look pretty clean desu.

Open to better brand suggestions apparently that sternglas is a quartzshitter though

I like the look of the hack but it has dogshit water resistance. A field watch needs to be able to survive a heavy rain.

>>15762051
>>15762059
I really like how Hack looks too, but it's weird that it has such shit stats, it looks really unique while still being a field watch, kind of like some modern retro sci-fi version of one.

>>15760223
Just get the quartz reissue. Fuck the 4s15 it's a meme and it costs a shit ton to service.

>>15762067
The 4s15 is not a meme, and if you have an independent watchmaker you trust to service it (and if you don't why are you buying vintage watches?) it shouldn't be any more expensive to service than any other reliable vintage movement.

The 4s15 is comparable in quality to an ETA 2892-A2. It's miles better than the kinds of movements you typically get in affordable field watches. The 4s15 is also the modern incarnation of a movement that was first developed in the early 1970s in the form of the 52xx movement.

I really like the new yellow OP but I can't afford it? Any other good yellow dialed watch? A diver is cool too. Anything under 42mm works. Budget is $300.
