What is the point of a vanta-black dial when it's under a reflective lens?

>>15786338
I've seen the Mosier in person, it's still stunning even under a crystal.

>>15786338
It's still pretty black

>>15786338
>AR coating doesnt exist

>>15786323
>It's every watch collector's dream: to find a super-rare and valuable watch for sale for almost nothing at a thrift shop, estate/garage/car boot sale or flea market. For Zach Norris, the dream became a reality recently when he walked into a Phoenix, Arizona Goodwill store looking for a used push-pull golf cart only, to stop by and dig through the store's watch basket on his way out. Inside the basket filled with Fossil watches with dead batteries (most priced around $15 according to Zach) was a watch, face down, that caught his interest. The dial said "LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm." The price? $5.99.

>Zach knew the LeCoultre name and knew the watch was made by Jaeger-LeCoultre and probably was worth far more than the $5.99 price, but he didn't realize it was a vintage LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm from circa 1959 worth over $35,000. According to the price tag, the watch had been put out for sale the previous day, January 16, and although Zach had left empty-handed in terms of golf carts, Zach left the 43rd Avenue and Thunderbird Road store with something far better. He completed his purchase of the watch for a cool $5.99 at 5:06:41 PM on January 17, 2015.

>Although Zach loved the watch, he realized the funds from selling it could be put to much better use helping to pay for an October wedding to his fiancée, getting his dream watch of an Omega Speedmaster Professional, and overall just improving his quality of life. Zach concluded that the watch was too valuable for him to wear or store away in a vault.
>A Rolex dealer, Eric Ku, made Zach an offer over $35,000 (or as Zach put it, over 6000X what he paid). Zach accepted the offer with the stipulations that as part of the deal he would get an Omega Speedmaster Professional.....

did he make the right choice?

>>15786342
Anti-reflect is still pretty reflective.

>>15786342
>>15786347
Yeah AR isn't magic, it stops you from seeing like the actual buildings around you on the street being clearly mirrored back to you by your watch, but you still see the light effecting it.

>>15786323
Is the bezel on a Tudor black bay real flat like a Rolex explorer? I'm going to buy a new watch, I don't like the flat bezel on the explorer and much prefer the bezel style on a op39

I just think the flat bezel looks weird. Might just go a grand Seiko though

>>15786351
Don't get any black bay except the fifty eight.
Does this picture help answer your question?

>>15786345
idk, did this leprechaun give anything back to the goodwill store? if no, I hope his wife divorces him and takes everything that is rightfully hers. if yes, I wish him all the best with his sneedmaster and loads of karma for the inevitable reddit posts he is going to make about it.

Movement Anon, Do you have any opinions on the Seiko NH35 Movement ive seen a $300 watch with a movement and get the feeling that its massively overpriced.

Which choice? Selling it? The amount? The Omega? The wedding?

Any opinions on the BOLDR Venture vs. the Smiths PRS-40?

>>15786335
Nomos Tetra, the hand-wound version is in the 1500-1600€ range, it's 29mm by 29mm for a diagonal size of 41mm. Might be higher in the US with import fees and such.

>>15786407
The smiths guy is an asshole but his watches look fantastic and have awesome proportions. Stories of stuff like one of his fanboys seeing one of his watches listed on eBay and him tracking down who bought it to ban them from buying anything else from him. The boldr venture is a nice small field watch made from titanium, it will scratch easily but it is lightweight and has a nice shot lug to lug distance, the lume seems decent and i like the case shape with the hooded lugs. Personally i would hold my nose and go for the smiths, I'd probably get the 36mm explorer or the everest.

>>15786407
>BOLDR

>Smiths
>fag
BOLDR has known bad customer service because you're dealing with chinks so they just all hustle blame left and right and then 2 months later they may just send you a new watch.
Smiths has known bad customer service because it's a 1 man operation and the guy is a massive asshole beyond imagination.
I would go for Boldr, it's more daring and contemporary and the quality is the same, if not better.

Show me one Nomos model that isn't plain-looking.

>>15786416
ive not read anything negative about boldr's CS except that one single karen post on WUS and I dont think its justified or realistic

>>15786407
the smiths has a slightly better movement (6r15 vs 4r35)
but the venture looks much nicer i.m.o and has a better size at 38 and better WR

case material of steel vs titanium is up to your preference.

not "movement anon", but
yea you can get nh35/36 movement on aliexpress homage brands (pagani etc)
but for western microbrands the usual pricing on a nh35 shitter is <$500. $250 is the sweet spot. Personally anything above $500 has to have a killer design to be considered

>>15786539
You realize anything that exists, has a chinese copy of it for 1/100th of a price, right? They even make 5 dollar fakes of 10 dollar terrorist casios. Why should a movement be any different?

>>15786546
I don't think the Chinese use "fake" nh-35 movements. But I'm pretty sure seiko havs factories in china that make movements mostly for the purpose of selling to the chinese. Made in japan doesn't mean made in japan anyways, it means made in a factory owned by japs.

>>15786568
His videos seem a bit more shilly lately, i have seen him let some things slide in recent videos he would have torn into last year. Still good if you just ignore the kickstarter shill videos.

>>15786580
It might be that he just lowered his standards for microbrands and kickstarter shit since so much of it is similar.
I like him because he is realistic about watches and isn't just trying to shill to the $5000+ crowd.

>>15786568
>>15786514
seconded for jomw, hes honest on assessments and critique. Zero watch snobbing he'll review anything (but mostly affordable shitters). He doesnt cringe-jizz over luxury pieces either. I like that theres no fluff or incoherent ranting and he gets straight to the specs and various shots inc lume and outdoors.

>>15786583
Yeah I'm more critical because he is one of the better channels, he keeps the videos short and on topic, has good videos and he is very snobby about bracelets and clasps which i appreciate.

Should I cop this Tudor bros? I tried it on the other day and really liked it except for the golden crown/pushers. Feels like a bit too much, also I'd never buy anything golden otherwise. Will I look like an 80s drug dealer?

What watch does our new president wear?

My watch is so nice.

I'm sick of big watches. When I was wearing my SMP I found myself whacking it against shit often. At that thickness and diameter it was just catching on door frames and stuff constantly.

The explorer however is so under the radar and effortless. It's light thanks to the hollow center links and wears nice and tight to the wrist thanks to its thin profile.

>>15786670
SMP. I sold mine the day after the election. I felt dirty.

>>15786517
Dressing up to go watch shopping is kinda dumb. That being said, I'd dress up because I always do when I go out in public. Americans don't, who knows why.

>>15786694
>>15786696
I said I do always dress well because that's what I like. But dressing up to impress a store clerk? That's pretty dumb.

>>15786695
The lug design, the red date, the digits placement and design. These are all things that you wouldn't find on a typical dress watch. And when the watch is so simple, these little things make a big diference.

Anyway, if you don't like it, fine... what do you care?

>>15786323
Ok, guys, let me tell you something.

IF it's not a well known brand like Rolex, Omega, TAG, Breitling, Cartier or if you're a richfag Patek, there is LITERALLY no sense in getting a mechanical watch at all. No one is going to know that your Sinn costs as much as a Rolex, and even then, everyone will just think you're a retard for not buying a Rolex instead.

Thus, if you want to wear a sub-luxury watch, it's best to turn to quartz. However, there we have a similar issue - no one is going to give a shit that your quartz watch cost $5k either, so the best that this market has to offer (Citizen The Citizen, Seiko Astron, high end Casio Oceanus/Edifice) is also completely pointless - it's too expensive to be a daily beater, people are going to think you're a dumbass for paying that much for a quartz, and they will just associate it with regular $100 quartz shitters.

What a dumb market.

is it just me or does this watch look rather... cheap?

just look at the edge definition of the bezel

>>15786669
pls respond

>>15786709
oops wrong file

>>15786707
We buy watches for our own enjoyment, not for other people.

>>15786709
>>15786711
It's knocking off both Rolex and the Royal Oak.

>>15786707
the only retard is you, dressing up to impress other people.

>>15786707
Your core assumption that the main reason to buy a watch is so that other people know you can afford it is obviously wrong. If that were the case, /wt/ would be filled with Submariner reps.

>>15786703
>The lug design

Yes, that lug is really poping out of that wrist.

>>15786709
It looks like shit and the clasp design is a joke. It doesn't know what it wants to be. For me personally I really like the Advisor and North Flag, aside from the obvious BB58. They have some interesting watches, it's just that their entry level watches all suck for various reasons.

>>15786707
>Nooo you cant just buy something for yourself, you have to impress other people

>>15786724
I'm 29, I have a few ranging from 2 to 5k

>>15786669
I think it looks pretty cool anon. If you dress pretty chilled to begin with i don't think it would cone across as too much. If you wear a load of tacky shit on your arms like some wristlets do i think avoid it

>>15786724
26, $14k. No one would ever know how expensive it was unless I told them, which I never would.

>>15786738
>>15786734
So you're doing the typical "I have it, but you totally don't have to have it, none of that matters (but suck it poorfag)" thing, gotcha.

>>15786738
>$14k
>No one would ever know how expensive it was unless I told them
What is it?

>>15786742
LC Tank ~ 2013 with an ultra thin Piaget 430P movement. It is extremely autistic and impractical and is virtually indistinguishable from all the quartz knockoffs Cartier themselves release, but I enjoy the purity of it.

Also it keeps horrible time and breaks if you look at it wrong.

>>15786752
lel that's neat.
A true WIS secret handshake.

>>15786724
im 31 and my most expensive watch is $300
i can afford higher priced stuff but i dont see the point + have other commitments, and most of the luxury designs dont really appeal to me. Personally I find joy in hunting rarer (mostly vintage) shitters, not just spending money for the sake of it

>>15786741
I buy watches because I like them. I buy them in that price range because that's what I can comfortably afford. Other people don't come into the equation at any point.

>>15786754
Yeah I think it’s a very interesting thing. It was right before they moved their movement production to mostly in-house. There are even some Tanks from that period or before floating around with JLC movements in them that are highly sought after.

I just unfortunately find ultra thin watches irresistible. They’re outrageously expensive and functionally useless. I’d call it more of an art than science, stripping down everything you possibly can to save a micrometer here or there. Mine comes in at a very delicate 5.1mm thick, but the newish Piaget Altiplano Ultimate did a mind boggling 2mm thick.

Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept, $400k

>>15786760
Yeah that's why you're here writing walls of text about it.

>>15786752
I'm seriously considering a low tier tank solo, the design is really nice and small, perfect for my tiny wrists, but I haven't decided if I want the XL or the quartz, I think I can pull off the XL (6,8 inch wrist) but will probably get the quartz since is smaller and more vintage looking.

I'd love to own a black watch with orange accents. Pic related comes close but I don't like the grey dial and it looks enormous. Any recommendations? I've seen the Festina one but I don't like it.

>>15786772
Sinn

>>15786770
I’m a big fan of the Tank Solo, both mechanical (XL) and quartz models. The sticking point for me would be whether I wanted the seconds hand and date on the XL or the more pure two handed model on the quartz. I don’t know if you’ve tried either on yet but Cartier’s “XL” really isn’t XL by most modern standards. It’s still small compared to most modern watches.

I’d probably go for the quartz anyway solely because I’ve always felt a Tank should have no complications, but I know many people have hang ups when it comes to spending big money on a quartz luxury watch.

>>15786737
Thanks anon. I wouldn't say I dress tacky and I don't wear any other accessories besides a watch.

>>15786669
I really really like it. I don’t think you’d look like a drug dealer at all. It’s just the right amount of retro IMO. I’d happily wear it if I had one.

Why the FUCK doesn't every single watch have drilled lugs

Wtf I love Ralph Lauren now

>>15786801
when is the last time you used your chronograph to measure something longer?

>>15786782
Yes, I know it is not big, I have seen pictures on 6.2-6.5 inch wrist and don't look bad, I made some cardboard piece to see the proportions and it is really small, 41mm lug to lug, I usually wear 45mm-50mm lug to lug watches (even wore a 55mm l2l for years) that are around 14mm tall compared to the 8mm tank XL.

So my doubts are that, choosing the watch considering the proportions of the originals, or going for a bigger and more sporty version. i'm not a fancy person, I never dress up unless needed (which almost never happens), I mostly wear jeans, t-shirt/shirt,pullovers and leather brown boots.So not sure if a really small watch like that would look weird on me, I don't care about opinions and looks, but it is something I should consider but I guess it's not a big deal since I wore a vintage watch with leather bracelet with cargo shorts and sneakers during summer.

>>15786823
literally on a daily basis

>>15786531
So you don't buy watches at all?
What are you doing in this thread then?

>>15786835
The classic dilemma. It’s all too easy to hum and haw as watch enthusiasts over insanely trivial things. I’d go for the classic smaller model and find a bracelet if you want one. I would admire your taste and discretion in choosing a small model rather than concern myself with the formality of your outfit, and I’d bet most other people “in the know” would as well.

Mechanical movement? Hah, for me it's either just a fun shitter gimmick that I wear as a joke like a Vostok or high watch making, meaning only Omega and above. The 200-2000$ range of automatic and hand wound movements is mass produced ETA cringe tier and soulless. If you want to spend around 1000$ on a time piece, get something historical or a giga accurate quartz.

>>15786858
For a bracelet I would get milanese (the fine type), I love them and they are the most comfortable bracelets in my opinion. For straps any non glossy leather or perlon would be ok for me.

You’re right, the watch looks like shit. But I don’t mind rotated Roman numerals.

i don't like them because it's important to read them from left to right and it just looks weird upside down. and kek, that's not the correct roman 4 wtf

>>15786930

>>15786930
It’s referred to as the watchmaker’s 4, done to promote symmetry between the 4 and 8. It’s a silly affectation that has stood the test of time, but most Roman numeral watches I see still have it.

>>15786923
That watch makes me hard.

> Your budget
£2000-6000 (pretty flexible)

> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Dressy aesthetic with good durability and competent water resistance - this won't be my 'one watch' or anything, but it's one that I'd like to take with me when travelling if possible, so that same philosophy probably applies.

> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Automatic ideally, but could be sold on a great HAQ.

> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
-100m water resistance minimum. 120+ would be nice, but realistically I'll be swimming and doing shallow diving at best with it, and seldom at that.
-Ambivalent on date - could live with or without it, but I'd want a competent implementation for sure. Tend to find date complications a bit hit-and-miss.
-Something on the thinner side, in line with aforementioned preference for something vaguely dressy, would be much appreciated.

> Preferred Strap Option
Steel or titanium bracelet (whichever matches the watch itself). Would ideally like the option to be able to switch to rubber/leather straps if possible: I really like the integrated aesthetic, but don't want a true integrated bracelet.

> Wrist size or desired watch size
Wrist is slightly larger than 6.5 inches. I think that means 36mm to 40mm is best, willing to flex up to 42 for the right watch since I've had good feedback regarding how slightly larger watches look on me.

>Watches considered so far
Please note that I'm not vetoing any of the below, just sharing them as they paint a good picture of my preferences and things I worry about. If you guys get the impression that one of them is my best option and I should suck it up with the nitpicks, so be it.
-Omega Aqua Terra: Too thick?
-Oyster Perpetual: Would have gone for this if 39mm white was still an option
-GS Snowflake: Unsure - maybe thickness, something about it just makes me hesitant
-Citizen Chronomaster: Adore this, would have gone for it if user regulation of seconds was possible

All of your suggestions fit the bill but since you worry about thickness go for the rolex, the chronomaster, or a handwind GS

>>15786963
>worred about thickness
Go with the Omega Constellation Globemaster,

The Aqua Terra and the GS Snowflake are pretty thick. The Constellation wears a bit thinner, also I'd consider it more dressy than the options you listed for sure.

No interest in a 36mm Oyster Perpetual or older Explorer 1 in 36mm? Other than Rolex, I agree that the Aqua Terra seems to fit the bill rather nicely. It’s difficult to find a watch that is automatic, thin, and water resistant all in one.

>>15787014
It’s definitely obtrusive. They keep it around on the LC for historical purposes. Pic related is from 1944 - exact same crown design.

>>15786678
Idk, id sell it for a sub but not a 36mm explorer. I think you should have just kept it and bought the explorer, started a collection. Is the explorer your only watch?

It's the same as mercedes hands from Rolex, they are ugly, but they are like that because they put them in their watches many years ago. Things like that are what add personality and HERITAGE to the watch. Other cartier watches have different crowns.

>>15786963
If traveling, you can find aqua terras with a GMT function iirc. There is also the Sinn UTC shoot offs with the 856. A more odd choice would be the Ulysse Nardin San Marco (pic related), it has pushers that control an integrated UTC window. It would be up to your taste though. Another odd option would be the IWC UTC (see Spitfire i.e.), its a cheaper IWC route, but still perhaps not as well designed as it could be.

Thanks so much to all of you guys who've been kind enough to respond so far - as petty as it sounds, not having anyone IRL to talk to about this shit has been driving me up the walls this past month. My only mate who's into watches has hugely different tastes to me and my girlfriend's contributions start and end at 'get the Rolex, I've never heard of any of the others'.

>>15786999
Cheers, hand-wound GS watches are probs something I should be looking at more seriously. The Rolex and the Chronomaster both kill me in that they're the two I almost bit the bullet on, but jumped out because of reasons that seem very hard to get over (for the OP, I was enamored with the white dial 39mm: the 36mm and 41mm OPs frustrate me with their double markers at 369 and the silver/gold just doesn't do it for me as much as the old silver/white)

>>15787009
Not going to lie, I didn't even think of the Globemaster - thanks for putting it on my radar, man. Another one for the list!

>>15787015
36mm silver/gold is probably the OP I'll go with if I go for that route. I might just be able to pull off a 41mm, but why take the risk? The old Explorer is tempting, but getting one in t top condition pushes above my top end to the point where a voice starts whispering in my head that I should just get a JLC Reverso or a Blancpain or something if I'm going that high up!

>>15787038
Christ man, you're a gem. Would never have even thought to look at UN, and for IWC I never looked any further than the classic Portugesier/Ingenieurs (discounted on price grounds plus generally not really feeling either). Will take a closer look.

>>15787042
Was taking a look at the railmaster a little while back - cool watch, but I think it skews just a tiny bit too not-tool for me, and the faux-lume messed with me a bit. Thanks very much for the recommendation, though!

Getting yourself a single 3000-4000 Euro/Dollar luxury watch is easy even if you're low-middleclass. Instead of wasting your money on smokes, take-out food and alcohol, discipline yourself to put a few hundred bucks away each month or invest some into funds, noble metals and whatnot. Of course this won't apply once you're married or paying off a mortgage so save up as soon as you can.
Also, don't be tempted to buy many cheap shitters as a substitue. You'll just end up reselling them for a fraction of the price.

If you have a low tier grail you can achieve it in a few years, saving 83,333 per month means you can buy a 4k watch in 4 years, or if you buy a 4k watch you must save 83 per month in the next 4 years average. Skip some luxuries, buy cheaper stuff, buy clothes only when you need them, repair the stuff when it brokes, skip some nice vacations skip gifts and it is done.
The problem is most people want EVERYTHING, they want nice watches, nice vacations, nice clothes, nice gifts...

>>15787251
The most important thing is to be financially responsible. I'd never want to spend more than 2000€ on a luxury watch because at that price it becomes an investment and I wouldn't be able to enjoy it in fear of wearing it down.

>>15787266
This. I used to be like that, living above my standards and it wasn't until last year that I decided to save up cash. I used to collect old videogames with boxes and manuals, currently selling everything. The stuff I sold (lion share is still up for sale) plus my monthly savings net me +8000€ since March and I've also invested some into funds. I decided to spend my winter bonus on a 2000€ watch before I won't be able to do that anymore.

Not everyone perceives luxury the same way. Some people really struggle to afford a 200€ quartz shitter where as I can get one without blinking an eye. Others simply laugh at some peasant Rolex as they prance around with their AP Royal Oak. I perceive watches over 3000€ as luxury simply because I can't justify spending this much on a watch that I don't want to lock away as an investment piece.
It's a very elastic term.

Would you wear this, /wt/?

>>15787263
They make some decent models, they did a 37mm golden horse reissue that was actually the same size as the original and they make a few cool hyperchrome classics with ceramic bezels.

This marine national strap on the top is crap. I fit it exactly how its shown on the site and it's either way to short or I got a incorrectly made one. I saw from other sites the hook is at the end of the line and passes through a keeper. This hook is just floating. Idk wtf this is. The parachute one is way easier for me.

>>15787322
>It's too short
It looks like you could almost double the current length if you reduced the size of that loop.
Are those both from cheapest nato?

>>15787310
Yeah but you're wrong, objectively it can be determined by looking at the lifestyle of specific classes and the watch brand rankings lists, that an average "for the plebs" luxury watch costs $5-10k. If you have to add euphemisms like basic luxury, entry level luxury, etc. then it's NOT luxury in the first place, and even $5-10k only gets you entry level (Omega or low tier Rolex) luxury objectively.

I think is better spending money on shit you really like and are gonna use for years than wasting low amount of money on a weekly basis. Buying a damn luxury watch is a bad idea, but it will last years, you go to a restaurant and you spend a lot in a single day, drinking, smoking, eating...it's a money sink if you are not careful, same with electronics and clothes/fashion.

>>15787293
>The problem is that this doesn't really exist.
You can always buy 2nd hand watches, a 4k second watch can be even a JLC/Omega/Tudor.

Luxury is any thing is not necessary for living, in watches, anything over the most basic casio is Luxury, a 200 watch is luxury because a 10-15 cheapo Casio will tell the time. I laugh at the people who think that 4-5k or even 2k is not luxury, it IS luxury, even if you are loaded, if you can live without it, is a luxury, other thing is the amount of that luxury you can afford.If you need luxuries to survive, then you are a consoomer because you need unnecessary stuff.

>>15787335
yea and I did. I literally did every permutation of adjustment and it was too tight. In the example pics the straps shown have more material length.

>>15787343
Huh that sucks, you should write them an email and see if they will replace it or send you a different strap.

For most of them that are worth having, they have the same or higher price than the original retail price. And even they already look extremely dated. It's fine if you want to simulate the "I've been wearing it for the past 10 years" experience but even then, everyone is going to question if you've fallen on bad times that you didn't get a new one in the meantime. It's like having a "good" car that isn't an oldtimer, it's just old, or a computer that was really good 5 years ago. It just doesn't matter anymore and you look out of touch.

It was 9 dollars idk if it's worth it. I only ordered it the first place because I couldn't tell the difference between that and the parachute strap. Apparently other models of mn straps have both the hook and another layer of strap squeeze your wrist incase it comes undone but there wasn't enough material to do that.

>>15787342
which is why i calculate how long i will be using the item and it's warranty and the price. Typically I buy on sale. I spent a lot but most of the item i'll try to use for 5 years so it's less than 100 per year, 8 dollars per month

>>15787374
It will fit fine, you just need to sneak up on it

>>15787366
The strap you are wearing has the hook at the end of the strap. The one you circled that I had trouble with has the hook floating. The only way I got it to fit was by having the buckle almost touching the lugs and even then it was a tight fit.

>>15787358
>It just doesn't matter anymore and you look out of touch.
That applies for snobs. If you like something you shouldn't care about if some snob thinks your watch loses value, or looks outdated, you buy something because you like it, not because it's an item fashion that you are gonna use to impress someone. For example, I have my own taste, I don't care if a watch cost 100k and its the current hottest shit with waitlists of years, if I don't like it, I will look them and think they don't worth the money, see this watch >>15787373 many people like it, I don't and I find it ugly if someone purchased that watch to flex in front of me, they would fail.

>>15787388
I want to like H Moser so badly, i love all their shit posting and ridiculing of the Swiss watch industry, but i hate every watch they make, the sterile dials are boring and soulless and all their watches are oversized. Their apple watch parodies are the only good looking thing they make.

>>15787392
I couldn't find any vids on how to adjust these watches with the hook floating free, I had the strap installed exactly how its shown in the pics, I could easily see that in the pics they had more material.

>>15787407

Honestly the Swiss need to suffer and drop every single watch that is $2000 or over by $500-1000

They wouldn't fail in front of 99% of people, you're not really relevant here. If someone were to flex with any 50k watch over you, in front of others, there's a 99% chance of success (unless you had a 100k watch of course) and you'd just look like a coping poorfag if you protested.

Doesn't matter, they'd still rank you higher in the socioeconomic hierarchy in their heads.

I don't know if you know this, but humans have a part of their brain literally devoted to constantly evaluating everyone's position in the hierarchy including their own, it's like a little hierarchy calculator that always runs in the background and influences pretty much everything you do. I can find you relevant scientific info if you don't believe me.

I'm on your side with the sentiment, but what you're actually saying is that taste is subjective and a human construct, which is kind of different than "it doesn't exist"

They actually built the cheese case watch. So I'd vote this for #1 shitpost.

>>15787546
Badass

>>15787603
>that would mean that taste does not exist
No it wouldn't moron. That's like saying "age doesn't exist because I was 25 last year and I'm 26 now".

>>15787603
Wow pic reference? Beautiful

>>15787610

What?

>>15787607
As an objective thing, it does not exist, there are no right and wrong things, if enough people follow the trend then something becomes tasteful and trendy.

>>15787615
Saw yesterday on ebay, patek COMPLICATION, only 50 britcoins and it's yours.

>>15787594
yeah, way to show him... with the cheapest Rolex

>>15787610
It clearly isn't a render though? Unless you want to say they rendered dust & smudges perfectly.

>>15787579
Haldimann H9 Reduction.
It is a watch, with a triple axis tourbillon.
It also has hands to tell the time.
But you cant see any of it, becuase its all covered by a OPAQUE BLACK SAPPHIRE crystal.
but of course if you put your ear to it you can hear the ticking, hahahahaha.
it also costs $169,000.

>>15787482
Fuck this blob
>complains about sub-41mm watches being too small
imagine being so fat you get filtered by average-sized watches

What watch would give me that adol christin feel?

>>15787572
>>15787562
Looks like a breitling seawolf blue dial woth numerals.

The little bezel warts give it away

>>15786707
>No one is going to know that your Sinn costs as much as a Rolex, and even then, everyone will just think you're a retard for not buying a Rolex instead.
Holy fuck I wish these watch threads were on literally any other board. Do you fashion fucks care about anything other than people recognizing what you're wearing or exclusivity?

>>15787582
>make this abomination to “critique” the Swiss watch industry
>don’t do anything particularly innovative in your actual line of watches
>backfires completely managing to piss off ordinary watch collectors and the giant brands simultaneously
>continue to release uninspired, mostly ugly $20k watches that virtually no one buys
These guys are so fucking retarded. Here’s your 43mm, 15mm thick watch bro. That’ll be $13k + tip

Hold My Cock

I guess the strap they sent me was too short? I can get it to fit, but not like how all the pics are shown on the official site. Oh well the parachute one has been working fine for me.

>>15787649
I do, yeah. But pretty much no one else does, so it's just a waste of money, which unfortunately I can't just "spend on whatever I like" because I don't have a lot of it.

>>15787658
can you stop obsessing over demo photos taken for marketing
have you tried this? you should adjust the excess because you clearly have a lot of it for your strap
>>15787487

how big is your wrist??

>>15787650
That abomination watch was genius.
Not that big of a fan of their own watches either though.

The Heritage is extremely cool with those lume block indices, but I hate the hands.

>>15787630
You don't know your rolexes do you??

>>15786323
Are there any hand-wound field watches with a power reserve indicator?

>>15787668
I can get it to fit its just not how it looks from the site or any videos ive seen. The picture of the green and red strap is clearly longer than mine. I tried to have the loop and buckle the same size as your example pic and the end of mine is clearly not as long as yours.

>>15787683
email them they will send a new one FOC

>>15787693
i got it on sale for 7 dollars im too lazy for that price im just gonna repurpose it for something else. If anything ill add it to the shoot it with a gun pile.

>>15787679
Can't think about any field watch with power reserve, it's already rare in normal/everyday watches.

Which color Casioak should I get? Deciding between these three colorways.

>>15787725
I’d go grey. I also like the black one but it looks pretty illegible at least in pictures.

>>15787718
Some model of orient does but I don't remember the model

>>15787679
orient sports outdoor
it has a rotor but its handwind also.
more premium "made in japan" movement equivalent to seiko 6r15, the same movement used in orient stars

also look at harbinger marauder, microbrand. Technically its a flieger but the lines are close enough.

>>15787725
if that black had a bit of gray for hilights thatd be pretty goat

>>15787734
Some threads in WUS mention power reserves, but no field watches, more on the dressier side/marine style.

>>15787725

Thinking about getting and moving a Casioak, should I get this one for the extra colors on the dial or the basic white version? LARPey bezel doesn't matter since I'm swapping it out anyway.

>>15787758
>moving
modding. Also, I'm not that other casioak poster.

>>15787725
Unpopular opinion, go for yellow, I have never seen that before and it has some transformer bumblebee vibe, on top of that, it has the best legibility of all of them.

>>15787594
Rolex is Commie Watch, dude.

Brezhnev, Che Guevara, Honecker, they all wore Rolex.

>>15787522
>but they don't know what a 50k watch looks like
Nah something like the Day Date is super iconic and really prevalent in media. People recognize it as a 50k watch when they see one.

>>15786669
looks gorgeous

>>15786696
pajamas are comfortable

>>15786707
NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR WATCHES. THATS NOT THE POINT. WE HAD AN ENTIRE THREAD ABOUT THIS

ffs, get a watch that you and you alone enjoy

>>15786819
wow that watch looks pretty nice

>>15787205
for an ultra water resistant watch, why would they add a display that compromises some of the water resistance?

>>15787569
Is formex really a microbrand?

>>15787219
Its a HKED he started doing that

>>15787594
I cringe everything you try and flash your explorer, the whole idea behind the explorer and why its so popular, is its understated.

A lot of guys who wear them have some heavy hitters and the explorer is there beater. You long for a batman / hulk or Pepsi but are to poor. That's just the vibe I get from you, you just about scrapped the money together for a Rolex, you had to see your seamaster to afford it, how sad.

>>15786367
It was clear to me that you are an incel.

Why would he give anything back? A valid business transaction was made. End of story.

>>15788947
show us your explorer dipshit

>>15787594
ignore the haters. that watch is sexy

>>15789174
I wouldn't buy one, they are alright watches, the 36mm has the old shit braclet and the 39mm looks off. I have a net worth you of over £500k but I'm not paying over retail for a rolex of being suckered into a datejust for a sports model.

I'd rather have a few okay watches and invest my money / travel while I'm young.

Your that sad side of Rolex that put people off but your doing it with basic models vs the dick with the Daytona.

Lol show us your 6k watch haha I spend more on skying every year.

>>15786367
>did this leprechaun give anything back to the goodwill store?
Yes, $5.99, which was what they asked for in exchange for the watch. You do know how stores work, yes?
