How do I break free from the working class wage ceiling so I can actually afford a fuck off wrist watch?

>>15762223
is this what you consider a fuck off wrist watch? because $6500 CuckNadian dollars will get you one brand new from and AD out the door

>>15762220
ah wait fuck its 42mm
oh well

>>15762200
In essence, you should (IMO) nou buy above your tier or class. If you're working class, dress in rags, don't borrow money to buy a BMW... The same with watches, a Rolex won't suit a person working in, okay I was gonna say "in the industries" but that's obviously a lie since shift workers generally are millionaires. Okay, a regular 7-16 job. Buy a Seiko, don't try to be something you're not. You'll have to sell it eventually anyway.

truly a larper's tool. Why not just check your phone at that point?

The newer bluetooth zog botnet negative display casios are easy to read. Especially the STN display metal case models. Too bad about the built-in tracking technology.
Actually see pic related, that's one of the new bluetooth modules and it still looks like shit, so i guess only the negative STN screens in the $500+ metal g-shocks look good.

Here is your g-shock witha screen you can actually read outside. That will be $1700 plus tip.
Don't forget to connect to your Apple® or Android ™ smartphone using the Casio® Smartwatch Connect ™ app.

If you are really worried about thinnes and don't mid them using the seagull handwinding chrono movement then the Baltic Bicompax or my favorite the Lorier Gemeni (pic related).
Unfortunately thing automatic chronos are really only in expensive watches, everything else uses the seiko or valjox movements and they are both really thick.

>>15762316
Yeah you can replace the polarizing sheet with a new piece, it's kind of a pain in the ass. And there is some chance you will destroy the display if you are an idiot or clumsy.
https://www.itstactical.com/intellicom/diy/diy-g-shock-watch-negative-display-conversion/
You just do this process except you put the polarizing film on at the opposite orientation in the final step

>>15762235
Look, the casio mongoloid.

>>15762344
The seiko brightz phoenix chronographs are very under the radar right now. They will be expensive in a decade or so. Some are really ugly or have dated early 2000s designs but some are pretty nice and have some cool features like hand lacquered dials.

Waiting for this shitter to restock.

>30 years of waiting lists combined

>>15762361
Seethe harder, cuck. Bitches dig my sleek, sexy watch. The green backlight is "cyberpunk af" according to the latest goth bitch I fucked.

So the screws on the dials is an assumed design choice to make the watch look "vintage", are there worthy watches with that "feature", looks incredibly cheap to me

>>15762211
are there any automatic hamilton field watches without date windows

>>15762445
You don't ever get out of your house and you get your watches tossed by deliverymen through your window

What's everyones thoughts on Zodiac?

I'mt talking super sea wolf.

Does any brand make a 37mm Yachtmaster homage? Hell i would take a fake at this point and change the dial.

>>15762448
The autodromo watches use screws one the dial.
Also haute whorology brand F.P. Journe uses visible screws on the dial of moat of their watches.

There's no simple answer to this; usually it takes time and 'climbing the ladder' of your career path.

I had to start working late due to lots of degrees, and even though I have expertise in my field, I still have more ways to go to increase my income. If however your work does not have opportunities to climb the ladder, then you have to invest in passive income streams and invest later on in things like real estate. Watches can wait.

A 'fuck off' wrist watch for me used to be in the 25000 range...but now that I have my Speedies, the desire has disappeared. Maybe you should just try on as many watches as you can, find one that you really desire (and I mean dream about for years), and then aim to save up and get it.

Both of these were bought off of e-bay, btw, for a fraction of the retail price. No box, no papers, but a reputable shop (so I know they're genuine). I had the Mark 40 serviced with Omega, and the 3570.50 will be serviced probably in a year or two from now.

>>15762464
Sexy watches. Fun colors, it's nice that they have fun with their heritage instead of being super serious

>>15762464
>>15762480
Actually fuck them. Glorified Fossil shitters

I need a watch like these ones but for under $2000. Not from Nomos.

>>15762480
Yeah, I love the aesthetic.
I'm more curious about the workmanship.
Heard STPs are shit but they have some GMTs with ETAs.

>>15762472
I see, still kinda unique, and coherent with a debut watch

>>15762489
I'm curious as to why? Why not a proper dress watch

Also Louis Erard

>>15762502
What do you mean by proper? Are these not proper dress watches?

>>15762479
Yeah, look. I think you are resonating with me, I guess I need a new job to be honest, higher income and considerably safer would be the goal, I am really thinking a fuck off wrist watch should come somewhat naturally for me after a certain amount of hard work and success in things

>>15762489
There are plenty of watches like these, new or used. Stowa make a few that might be up your alley

>>15762522
They do a Breguet looking model too.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/FREDERIQUE-CONSTANT-Classic-Slim-Line-FC-306MC4S36-Automatic-Silver-dial-Mens/233753860477

>>15762526
Well, in some ways we are the same and in other ways not. I don't see watches as a reward or a reminder of a success in life. They're not a 'prize' to me, they're a tool first and foremost which I have had to rely upon before and hope to rely on in the future.

That being said, I want that tool to have aesthetic beauty (in my eyes), functional practicality (comfortable, accurate over the days to the second, etc.), and I need it to be fully mechanical and not quartz regulated or battery operated.

I simply like Omegas because I like their design lines in the traditional realms (Speedmaster, older Seamasters, and even odd things like the Hour Vision DeVilles from the 2008 era). What I've found though after owning quite a number of watches is that the older I get, the closer I get to owning just 1 watch.

Maybe you just have to look for that '1 watch', regardless of price or style, and then try it on and see if it sings to you. Then if it does, start saving up, and when you have enough, pull the trigger. The secondary market is awesome if you do your research and 'buy the seller'. Depending on the brand, you have more options than you think. For instance, Omegas are for the most part really good on the secondary market in terms of getting a good deal for the quality. Rolexes on the other hand don't devalue as heavily, so while the resale is good for you if you change your mind, you won't really get 'a deal' and you'll likely just have to pay the going rates.

Stowas are good; why not go for a traditional flieger from them? I've thought about it myself...but I never pulled the trigger because I already have/had a watch that was time only automatic.

Anyway, focus on life, and the watch will come.

Piece of shit fucking planet keeps worse time than a quartz casio shitter.

best source for used rolexs?

Literally perfect watch, but why does it have to cost 60k?

>>15762578
go down a size? 36-38
it also depends on the watch. Watches with a thick bezel wear smaller. Watches that are mostly dial wear bigger. For square watches you can add 4-6mm to the diameter. Lug length and curvature matters too.

I've wanted one of these ever since I saw my uncle's one when I was a young lad.

>>15762618
It's good but not as good as a Patek Patek Patek, you can get good prices on grey market

>>15762618

That's a real good collection fren. I kind of know this deep down, it is really unfortunate that I am really highly skilled in a super niche industry, like almost pigeonholed. The barrier to entry for starting up a business in it is almost insurmountable. Been looking in other industries for a new job, but covid fucked me over. I honestly just want to be a coal miner and do some over time to get decent cash, but it seems like God doesn't want me to be one, guess it's a good thing though, probably end up an alcoholic and divorced like my uncle's

>>15762235
A couple things I don't like about it is
> it's not solar, will need to change batteries unlike mechanical watches
>blackout only available in black so it ends up looking like a smart watch
>The straps are probably gonna rip overtime
>Need an adapter to change the strap

Other than that it's great

Neat. 36000bph?

>>15762714
That is a good question, I had never thought about that until now. Definetly not 36k beat rate, not actually too sure what it is, kind of hard to make an accurate guess since I'm not use to seeing the beating second hand on a large dial like it, it sounds the same beat as my Seiko pogue. Any idea of what it is actually worth, I kinda bought it on a whim

nitpick this BRONZE microshitter pls

38mm with 1000wr is nice though

>>15762741

>>15762720
The stopwatches appear to be worth $60 to $180 each depending on condition. No idea if the whole time setup adds value. If it had some interesting provenance that might increase value.

>>15762741
It looks like a bronze chink panerai clone case with a rotating bezel slapped on it. Bronze makes your hands smell. Hands and indices are a bit whimsical for my taste.
I guess the price is reasonable for an eta movement but you can get chink watches with sw-200 movements for $350-$450.

>>15762756
I see it's on sale for 20% off right now. That's a better price.

>>15762746
I can only seem to see them going on the higher end of your estimate and above online. Honestly hoping to sell it to a rally enthusiast or something and get something I can actually wear with the money, I will need to put a lot extra on top of the Breitling money, but I've been thinking about getting a Tudor black bay 36mm

>>15762799
Alright, this could be my autism coming out. But when you say above, do you mean closer or further to the fingers? I guess proximal would be the word maybe. Anyway, further away and up towards your elbow is my preference

>>15762806
So you wear a wristwatch on your arm not your wrist?

>>15762806
anatomically, "above" means closer to the trunk(main body)

>>The seiko brightz phoenix chronographs are very under the radar right now. They will be expensive in a decade or so.
No they won't, the best they'll ever be is a few hundred more than they are and that will only be for random pieces that you can't predict.

>>15762487
Fuck them, just spam that they're supporting the legacy of a serial killer everywhere. Can't believe I almost bought that shit.

>This version of the Venture is a limited edition collaboration with the Windup Watch Shop. The standard field watch dial has been replaced with one inspired by both exploration watches and our hometown of Brooklyn, NY. A balanced dial with large numerals at cardinal positions is rendered in asphalt and concrete gray with shocks of taxi yellow. A date window has been added at the four o'clock position, with a date disk that is color-matched to the surrounding dial.

Featuring a 38mm matte titanium case, with an AR-coated sapphire crystal, and 200m of water resistance, it's small, lightweight, and tough - exactly what you want on your wrist during an excursion.

>Ever since the launch of the collection more than half a century ago, the Seiko Astron has long been affiliated with jetsetters and the skies. With the advent of GPS technology integrated into something as compact as a wristwatch, the lineup pushed its boundaries even further, moving into space. Now, to pay tribute to these monumental achievements, Japan’s biggest watchmaker is releasing two new models that take you to the stars.

>With two color options to choose from — the SBXC077 and the SBXC079 — both variations come equipped with a new dial design resembling a starlit sky. The former takes on a deep blue night sky-inspired look, while the latter offers a deep green option paired with a blacked-out dial. Both models feature ceramic bezels as well as all the goodness Astrons are now known for, including GPS technology that can automatically sync your time zone to your current location, a dual-time function, support for Daylight Savings Time, and battery life that can last you up to six months.

Nah the hypocrisy has to be readily apparent. It has to be something that an average person would not notice but once Jesus points it out everyone can see it. Most people wouldn't notice the contradiction of a holy man wearing an expensive watch, because most people wouldn't know what an expensive watch is or look too closely, but once you point it out it's a huge deal. And Caiaphas, in particular, is the most outspoken and brazen of those against Jesus, like he is daring to be exposed. He needs something loud.

>>15763187
I still think pocketwatch is best but a Yema LED may be good

What is the appeal of the Royal Oak?

>>15762922
It's a copy of a vintage Grand Seiko case, and poorly done too.

>>15763199
it's literally a meme watch that everyone knows is ugly but then rich assholes thought it was so ugly it becomes cool ironically because it looks different and now after years of memeing people think it's cool unironically

>>15763231
>>15763199
do the screws serve a purpose or are they decoration?

>>15763145
'Sup.

>>15763236
They are decoration to make the watch look more manly and tough but they are fake so it's just gay and homosexual. They are also supposed to be perfectly lined up but somehow even though that watch is probably $50,000 they fucked it up.

>>15763236
If they're mirror polished then probably the latter

>>15763237
What's the analog gshock? First one I've seen that didn't look like shit.

>>15763199
That's not a Royal Oak, its a Royal Oak Offshite and even Genta himself hated it.

>>15763248
Did Genta lived long enough to see the RO concept?

>>15762618

>Cost 30 bucks to make

>>15763253
I don't believe so. The first concept came out 3 or 4 years after his death.

>>15763199
Zero. That's what.

>>15763248
I could never get behind this design. The faux screws really add insult to injury.

>>15763236
They serve to easily spot blatant fakes like the one on the pic

>>15763244
GA-2100

>>15763274
They are integral to the original design which was based on a porthole.

thoughts on this bad boy?

>>15762676
why is your collection exclusively made up of ugly watches?

>>15763236
the screws add strength on the forester, ap's are just a gimmick

>>15762720
download a timegrapher app and figure it out

>>15763306
Looks like a kid's toy, love the functions etc. though.

Why are Jaeger LeCoultre watches so discounted on the secondary market? Not complaining mind you, just curious

>>15762235
NIGGER

>>15762917
no

>>15763317
Unless your name is Rolex or Patek, and currently AP as well, then all your watches are discounted on the secondary market. The reason is simple. Customers aren't interested. They don't make 'hot' watches that everyone wants so there is no demand.

>>15762274
I want to get one of these. Do you think you can just turn the bluetooth off?

>>15763199
it looks cool

>>15763327
The problem is that even if you could (I don't know if you can) you still have the gay Bluetooth logo with the gay Bluetooth text that looks totally out of place

lmfao imagine losers who think rolex is something special ahahha

>>15763329
That sucks, because the b5600 module is better than the 5610 one. The stopwatch is gay on 5610, it doesn't display the time while using the stopwatch or count down

>>15763337
Desu at this point there are so many fake Rolexes on the market I wouldn't buy one. Every random guy has a Rolex today

>>15762676
Sell everything besides the DJ and Seamaster and get one nice dress watch

>>15763337
Which are the losers? The only people I can see mentioned in that thread that say Rolex is special is those commenting on what they are wearing. The actually Rolex owners say "what's the big deal?"

>>15763362
the losers who think someone owning it is a big deal learn to read moron

>>15763450
I'm mildly interested, hate G-Shocks though. The all metal one recently was kinda cool but instantly sold out and I couldn't be bothered to check one out. Digital watches are supposed to be cheap imo, this John Mayer Casio is gonna be a ripoff too I bet.

Now that's some advanced Jewry right there. Does anyone have a price catalog, surely it exists?

>Itay Noy is an Israeli watchmaker and his eponymous brand is known among fans of independent watchmaking for creating interesting watches at relatively reasonable prices. In addition, most of his watches are created in extremely limited numbers, which adds exclusivity to the deal.

>>15762874
I never sell used shit.
other than maybe furniture when moving or old computer parts or something.
The while point of a decent watch is it'll last a lifetime.

>>15763337
The precarious thing about watches.
Is unlike say fashion or headphones etc.
Is that Rolex is the most prestigious/normie friendly "flex" brand.
But unlike beats or whatever. Rolex actually does make really good watches, and they are actually decent value. I feel like normies shit up the brand though. I'd rather have a spring drive GS.

>>15763575
Thanks. I saw another anon talk about it here like 2 weeks ago and I knew I needed it.

>>15763568
is the whole case steel or is that chrome plastic like casishit?

>>15763317
Nobody knows about the brand. 99.99% of people don't even know that Rolexes and Pateks don't use batteries.

>>15763462
Clear case backs are pure bliss.

>>15763591
It's all steel. For the price it better fucking be.

>>15763568
Awesome anon. It looks like citizen actually managed to do some proper retro reissues.

>>15763568
nice watch

>>15763568
Very good, but I imagine this wasn't cheap. The Royale is cheaper, but it doesn't look as good.

>>15763568
>>15763604
I don't care how cheap it is, how can any of you honestly thing that is a nice looking watch?! It's a kids watch and a fugly one at that.

>>15763617
It looks like a prop from some movie, like a character in Alien would wear it. Which is probably the appeal.

Are ETA clones a downgrade from the originals?

>>15763612
$280 shipped from Japan.
Fuck DHL btw their tracking is ass.

I just got the OP joke (gladly would I pay you...)

What would you think of a guy wearing a solid gold 36mm Datejust with a champagne dial? Too flashy?

>>15763761
>rolexrolexrolexrolex
why?

>>15763761
I would think he's a pretty cool guy that doesn't give a fuck what others think.

Are there any watches cheaper than Rolex that are worth buying at all? Seems that's the "entry level" now, am I wrong?

>>15763761
Love it. I've grown to be a bit dissatisfied with my two tone datejust and occasionally muse about selling it and buying something like this.

>>15763794
Omega (MAN ON THE PHUCKIN MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON)

>>15763761
I used to think the gold DJ and DD's were crass but now I think they are based timeless classics. The ultimate "fuck you I like watches" buy

>>15763794
Honestly with all the waiting time these days even for watches I'd go Seiko and then straight to Rolex. You can always buy more shitters after that but I think the "work your way up" meme should be retired. Yeah Tudor makes nice watches and a Speedmaster is pretty cool but if you plan on ever getting a Rolex buy it as soon as possible.

>>15763761
it's pretty good, I like darker dials more though on gold watches

>>15763801
>>15763817
Imo I think that somehow they look more elegant than the two tones, and I usually don't like yellow gold. I'm also a sucker for date wheels having the same colour as the dial

That Datejust is also 36mm, so on the small side for modern standards. It could help make it look more understated

>>15763768
In case you forget what you're wearing.

>>15763761
I'd own one if I could afford it

how hard is it to put fucking gloves on?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCzcmUyCFR0

>>15763826
> I think that somehow they look more elegant than the two tones
Absolutely. Two-tones look tacky but by itself gold looks great, it always has. There is a reason it has been a big part of human cultures throughout history. Get over the stigma of it as a display of wealth and appreciate the fact it is patrician tier.

>>15763761
> Too flashy?
Hell no. The best modern RO is the little known yellow gold 15202 with the champagne dial.

>>15763819
>if you plan on ever getting a Rolex
Are there people who don't, and why?

>>15763854
weebs and midwits sometimes claim they don't want a Rolex

>>15763847
AP makes a really nice gold tone but I somehow hate that many of the cool Royal Oaks don't come with a seconds hand. My perfect RO is actually the 37 mm steel one because it looks cool and it has a seconds hand.

>>15763617
>kids watch
it doesn't look like one, kids wouldnt really wear something like that. Its very 80s tech, you have to appreciate the styling. Personally I really like the look of this genre even though generally im not a digital watch guy at all.

>>15763794
Nomos, Sinn, Longiness, steel JLC, etc. There is plenty of good watches out there. Rolex aren't entry level but they are an extremely well made daily watch and about as safe a watch purchase as its possible to make.

>>15763867
vc/patek/ap/lange etc is actual luxury proper
rolex/omega/breitling/GS is entry level luxury
nomos/sinn/longines/oris etc is semi luxury

thats just how the classification goes

My Reverso is making me so happy
Every day I discover something different I like about it

Is this shit any good?

>>15763897
It's not bad, but I would go with a more classic Sinn

>>15763897
Depends what you mean by good. Sinn watches in general are very made tool watches you can beat the shit out of with zero worries about them getting damaged. Great for a daily beater but the designs aren't for everyone though.

>>15763617
there's nothing childish about it. what child needs a thermometer on their wrist?
rather it looks like a low budget sci fi prop from the '70s and that's actually kinda rad

>>15763907
I mean will I be cool if I wear this, it's very expensive for something that seems to only have a basic printed dial. Could add just a little bit to that and get a Speedy or Rolly.

https://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/857_S_UTC.htm

>>15763916
That model is made with Tegiment steel. You could take it off your wrist and smack it as hard and as often as you like against the desk and not give it a single scratch. That's what you are paying for. Also some people like the simple utilitarian aesthetic but as I said it's not for everyone. Yeah a Speedy would not be much more but you'd have to pay at least 3 times that for a Rolex.

thoughts on this

>>15763934
Yeah but you can do that with a G-Shock that costs 10 times less too. So what you're saying is that it's not worth it I guess.

>>15763946
Too big, would have been much better if it was kept the same size as the original and remade the old movement.

>>15763949
Well the Sinn is a steel bracelet mechanical watch, the gshock is none of those things. Guess it depends on what to value most in a watch.

>>15763946
Way too fucking big and shit date placement that wasn't needed at all.

>>15763946
It's on the large side at 45mm, so if you don't have an above average sized wrist then it'll look huge on you.
It's not the most expensive quartz but still somewhat expensive for what you're getting. There are better Bulovas for the price and its kind of a meme watch but if you like it then you probably won't be disappointed with it

I'd probably think he was one of those pua retards peacocking unless he was just some rich old boomer who got a gold rolex because of course that's what they all get. or some financial sector douche. or a salesman who "sells himself" to rope in sales. the likelihood of meeting someone irl who has it because he's a watch nerd is near zero. but yeah, on /wt/ seven autists think it's the the tits.

If you are going to get an expensive sinn you should get either one of the oil filled divers watches, or this guy.
Pilot Watch EZM 9 TESTAF
Otherwise you should get a 556

Don't have the thickest of wrists, it fits.
People tend to notice it and ask if it's real 80's vintage or if I use it to actually calculate.
I know it's low tier, but it's fine.

what does this mean. anyway based choice

>>15764308
How does it smell? Could you give yours a sniff and report back please.

>>15763949
If your metric is what a ghock can do then no watch is worth it except a gshock lol

>>15762659
It don't have to cost a shit load, you can start small and work your way up, it has never been easier to do, you just need to fine your feet. It might take 3-6 business before you hit it good, just keep trying.

Trust me, it's the good life, no boss, more money than you can spend.
