>Buy a Rolex to impress other people.
>Buy a Patek because you're the CEO of a company.
>Buy a Vacheron [....]

why do people buy these shitters?

>>15787827
You buy a Vacheron if you are old money or wear tweed.

>>15787827
Because you watched Hannibal?

>>15787806
>sasha and his inkjet printer strikes again
the dial quality is really low, like a poor photocopy

if you dont want to get a crusty patinaed-to-shit, original Vostok Druzhba you might as well get this shanghai homage from goodstuffs

>>15787725
Yellow is by far the coolest, but it really depends on what clothes you wear

VC are the coolest of the big 3.

Prove me wrong

>>15787858
i like this "Red East" variant with ancient mulan moonrunes as well

>>15787827
I see no good reason to buy any of the big 3 when you can buy Lange.

>>15787869
Fucking sick best overseas I've seen

>>15787827
rolex is not HH
>>15787869
im not a luxury guy at all but VC is clearly the most "artistically inclined" of the holy trinity
their engraved dials are always very nicely done
like this angels with demons one.
also they have the nicest animal zodiac watches too.

>>15787898
shit, I prefer the coomer watches from Ulisse Nardin.

>>15787898
theres a fine finesse with VC's design language that even shows itself in their tool watches >>15787869
their watches never look bulky or chunky, the overseas looks very graceful in comparison to a royal oak which is like a fat muscular bull.
>>15787903
ya the coomer watches are nice but UN's other watches are boomer-esque and very loud.

>normal watch worn by normal people

Cringe.

What watch can give me that old school digital aesthetic?

>>15787917
>he wouldn't wear a mermaid lesbian watch
Not gonna make it...

>>15787917
I think the most hilarious part about this watch is its part of a set.

It's literally a girl cucking her husband to have lesbian sex with a mermaid. If you're like it you're literally a cuck.

>>15787874
That had better be a 24 hour dial.

>>15787780
ok, uh.. so..
i took the nudging of a fellow anon and finally pulled the trigger on a VCM

When I 1st saw this watch half a year ago with its plum blossum textured dial I was very intrigued... knew I had to have it

even finding this unicorn has been a huge pain. In my search I only saw 2 other specimens on WUS, and those were posts from years ago. I had to download an app to search on xianyu and another app to even talk to the seller. Im close to positive this is the only one available online.

The seller didn't want to ship out of china, eventually I resorted to using a taobao agent. That agent even asked me if Im sure, as they cannot guarantee vintage items. Due to communication difficulties I dont even know if the watch runs or how the movement looks like (I know......but this kind of gambling is apparently normal for VCM purchases)

the agent just shipped it and assured me its extra well packed. I wanted to ship by air but due to current situation they didnt have it. And now im waiting.... I think it will need a service regardless, but im okay with that.

What are the comfiest luxury watches? I absolutely love this shitter, it's really slim and just fits and feels like a bracelet. You almost can't feel the watch case because it's so balanced. I think it's because of the angled lugs and slim case, I think 8mm or something.

>>15787957
Good luck!

>>15787919
A nice Casio should do the trick

>>15787970
thanks anon, hopefully it runs at least
tongji movements are simple things so it should be fine

>>15788007
theres the old as shit pulsar, many shapes and models from elektronika and others, mostly fucked or costing a fortune secondhand though. and a bunch of brands have done reissues of these 'led watches', in differing shapes and qualities, think even yema did one a while ago.

>>15788081
Thanks. I might want at some point

>>15787827
Because it's the best of the holy trinity

>>15787806
I like it, but seems like it would be chink garbage in terms of movement.
what is it?

I'd like to get a cheap ass Casio digital, which one is the "best" one? Budget is like, 100 dollars.

>>15788168
casio a700 for $20
casio ae1200 for $20-30 if you want something larger and with more features and a more striking look
dw5610 for $100 if you want a g-shock
>I want metal
buy dw5600 and then buy a titanium case for it from aliexpress to get an all metal one on the cheap

>>15788168
A168 a700 or a1000

>>15788168
DW5600BB-1

>>15788148
thats a frankenwatch
and its russian, not chinese.
the original that such 'friendship' watches was based on is the Vostok 'Druzhba' , pic rated. This was back in the 50s when Soviet Russia and China CCP were on friendly terms (hence the name of the watch which means friendship in russian, the place depicted is the Forbidden Palace)

that watch >>15787806
has a salvaged soviet movement, with printed dial (like a home printer, thats why the quality looks so bad) and new hands.

many such frankenwatches exist on etsy and its usually a easy tell because the hands are too new and dials too flat and fake. Normies often buy them and spend way too much per watch.

>>15788193
>>15788148
the design proved to be very popular, even to this day, thats why homages/copies like these shanghais >>15787858 >>15787874 still exist
chinese movements do not have the small seconds of the original, thats why they substituted it with a red patterned circle
a good condition genuine vintage druzhba will cost you in the ballpark of a few hundred at least, the rarest variants have flags under the 12th numeral and those are near unobtainium now

Does Invicta realize how hideous their watches are?
Are they doing it on purpose?

>>15788228
Yes, and I'd be willing to bet yes. They know there are tasteless plebs out there who will buy them.

>>15788228
CEO probably wears a Rolex GMT

I hate looking at Junghans watches. Makes me ill

>>15787780
This is literally perfect, why did it have to be 40mm instead of 38? I wish they use the 38mm case for other models as well

>>15788248
40mm is fine for a diver you fucking wristlet

>>15788250
Yeah but 40mm divers are saturated as FUCK.

>>15788252
you should complain about something of substance like their shit ass fake rivet bracelet

>>15788179
a700 is more like $50 though
>>15788168
ae 2000w, ae 2100w, dw290 if you want a 200wr watch thats not a gshock
a700/a1000 if you want to still have some semblance of fashion left
a159 if you want the above but with REAL DIAMONDS in your casio shitter
wv59 if you have kino taste

Thanks for logging on!

>>15788262
>a700 is more like $50 though
What the fuck? Are you talking about Canadian dollars or some shit? It's $24.13 on Amazon right now

>>15788262

>>15788266
oh. whatever then.
i dont shop on (((amazon))) because i refuse to give jeff bezos any money.

>>15788274
It's $25 on eBay too bro.

>>15788277
i dont use ebay.

>>15788274
the only reason media has convinced you jeff bezos is evil is because he isn't jewish. if Amazon was run by a stein or a berg you wouldn't hear a single peep about it.

If you see someone with a Speedmaster, what's your opinion of them?

What are /wt/'s thoughts about buying fake watches that haven't been in production for 20 years? Like a fake 38mm gmt master, or a fake tudor sub? What it it uses a standard eta movement so there is no chance anyone could get tricked into spending money on it?
I know steinhart makes a bunch of vintage rolex homages but they suck and don't really even try to be accurate to the original.

just got pic related now I want to get the carbon fiber one how do I stop this autism bros?

Guys, what is the reason someone would get a basic G-Shock square (DW/GW/whatever) as opposed to another G-Shock with more functions or an Edifice? I'm trying to figure out which quartz beater to get and why. I like the square look especially with the Ali Xpress titanium case, but I can't shake off the feeling that I could be wearing something better?

>>15788299
>'v-vote with your wallet' he says as he keeps his minimum wage slave bucks out of the monumental money pit owned by multinational interests
Keep fighting the good fight I guess lmao

>>15788313
Ask yourself why you want both.

Could use some advice. I'm looking for a <$100 watch that would suit me. I hate bulky watches, but just looking for a decent daily driver for a business casual environment. I like analog watches, and leather type straps. I currently use an old fitbit charge 2 and like that, but looking for a regular watch.

Hey bro, would you tell wholesome watch youtuber TOMMY BIG TIME that his watches are hideous?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=_XsVxV4m4F8

>>15788317
The square looks really good and looks good on most wrists. Also most of the time you will never use all the other features.

>>15788248
I'm not sure i believe it's actually 40mm, the Chinese like to round up sometimes.
Might be worth messaging them and asking if it's the same case as the vintage diver.

Are old school casio watch bands built in or do they have detachable lugs? Kinda wanna cop a cheap square casio A700W and put a mesh strap on it.

>>15788248
https://www.gnomonwatches.com/collections/steinhart/products/ocean-1-gmt-black-red-jubilee-bracelet

>>15788329
The A700 has regular lugs. I think it's 18mm.
I will say though that the stock bracelet looks good, feels good, and doesn't pull hair.

>>15788248
>40mm watch is too big
Are you a manlet? Medically underweight?

>>15788318
>i-it dont matter at all why even bother, lets just all brainlessly support companies who treat their employees like human dirt and also exploit loopholes in law to further expand their monopoly because im a weak NPC and I NEED TO CONSOOOM

Fuck this, they had the chance to offer out of production designs and they fucked it up with a huge larp.

>>15788343
Sure Amazon, Google, Twitter, Facebook and pretty much all of silicon valley are evil corporations who are in bed with the Chinese and abuse your privacy.
But they support social justice and the correct political party so everything they do is okay

>>15788320
Just go on amazon a look through citizen watches till you find one you like.
If you don't mind the looks and size you can get this SWISS MADE AUTOMATIC for a bit over $100
It's usually on sale for a bit less around $125
https://www.jomashop.com/calvin-klein-infinite-watch-k5s3414y.html
Otherwise get a citizen, shop around on amazon, jomashop, the citizen website, they look up the model number on ebay and maybe google shopping and see if you can find it cheaper. Citizen watches are solar powered quartz so they just work for a decade or more before you need to worry about changing the battery.

>>15788346
You can get a mesh bracelet for a few dollars on ebay or aliexpress and put it on any watch

>>15788377
>fake patina including on the dial
gay and aids

>>15788368
>chinese homage brands never make anything below 40
>like ever
Oh but they did, that's why he is complaining, this guy, in what looks like an identical case, is 38mm

>>15788382
I'll look into Citizen. Do you know of any stores that stock them, so I could see them in person?

>>15788392
J.c. penny (do they still exist?)
Maybe some small local mall Jewelry store type places? (Do those still exist?)
Usually if you google the model number you can find actual real photos of the watch, lots of unboxing type videos on YouTube too. There is a sizing guide in the op to help you figure out what size you should get.

>>15787815

>>15788320
>under 100
get a casio mtp of your choice

for mechanicals theres seiko5s like the snkl15 or similar /orient bambinoes but these are around 100 or slightly more

>>15788320
>>15788486
also cheap leather straps are like 10 bucks and you can swap them out easy

>>15787959
This one's pretty comfy

Why would anyone buy a field watch when divers exist

>>15788322
>BIG TIME

>>15788317
Smaller, simpler, lighter, cheaper (especially 5600E), no moving parts. And it looks good.

>>15788185
>negative display
Fucking useless. And it costs more than the normal one. This trend needs to die.

>>15788642
Yeah, negative display is the only reason I bought it.

>>15788570
Divers too tall, worst bezel

>>15788649
A friend of mine had this exact model, and I know for a fact that you can't see shit on that display.

>>15788248
>literally perfect
>shitty chink mechanical movement for $400
no. I'd literally rather them use the quartz ronda GMT movement.

>>15788390
considering this but need to see based Jody's moans and niggles first
isn't there another huge sale in February on ali?

*puts u to sleep*

>>15788664
I find it pretty legible in most lighting situations and at most angles, but you're right occasionally I do end up having to hit the backlight. Having that backlight is a major benefit though in my eyes. I get that needing your other hand to check the time sometimes is lame, but you can read it in even zero light and without counting on your lube being charged.

I will say I don't think it's the perfect G-Shock, but my favorite under $100. Maybe competition with the Casioak.

>>15788715
Sorry, lume, not lube. No KY jelly on your watch.

>>15788307
just build your own. all the parts can be had cheaper than buying a fake, and you can make it exactly how you want.

>>15788715
I guess we have different standards for readability.
If you're going to rely on backlight, you may as well get a watch with auto-backlight that's activated by motion sensor (I don't remember which models have it).

oh my look at the time

*raises your watches price by $300*
*ensures you have a misaligned bezel*
*reissues your watch as a limited edition for 2k*
heh...

hi im tim

>>15788725
Shit like this is the reason why I don't like Seiko anymore

>>15788696
Probably chinese new year sale

>>15788728
>fluted bezel

ehhh

hi im tim
as you can see plenty of clearance between the lugs and my wrist

>be kid
>always look at watches in magazines
>be adult
>now I look at my watch in a magazine

wrist check

>>15788721
Are you certain it's the exact same model? I definitely have seen older Casio negative displays that were impossible to read, especially older Mudman models. Hell I even have a Casio calculator watch with a negative display that's notably worse in terms of legibility.

I would enjoy if it was both solar powered and had that accelerometer tech for the light.

>>15788742
cyclops is an eyesore (ironically)

>>15788745
I found this like 5 years ago and I still use it as a backup alarm

>>15788746
It's not the worst, but it's bad enough.
I find negative display to be acceptable only on ana-digi watches with black dial, because you're not supposed to use it very often there.

rolex is such a braindead brand

you literally don't need to have any taste or imagination or balls. just buy a rolex and you're set. nothing to worry about, nothing to explain. it's a rolex. it's perfect. and it's incredibly boring. this is a company that holds press events to announce that they've made this year's model 1 mm wider than last year's. this is a company that barely understands how to make complications. this is a brand for nu money chinese and old money WASPs. this is a braindead brand

I can't think of a more Reddit tier "collection". Did you sort by highest upvote and went out to buy them all at once?

>>15788841
I don't think I've seen literally anybody post a collection picture without somebody saying that.

>>15787957
Grats, senpai. You'll be like the 4th copy of that watch I've ever seen, just after mine which you probably saw, although I haven't looked in years for others. I was worried about functionality at first too but it's such a cheap movement it would cost a few bucks to swap the from another if it arrived truly fucked, but it looks to be in fantastic shape, that's the important part. Still think that case is ugly though, which is why I swapped mine. I recommend getting a claw winder tool though because these tiny crowns suck ass.

>>15788832
Oh yeah, looks nice.
Was to lazy to zoom in on the image.
But than change the strap

>>15788841

>>15788967
The Quartz GMT I meant, not the meme drive

lmao what the fuck is this trash

>>15788968
Oh, my bad. It's nice, I decided I should have a quartz in the collection and I didn't own a GMT yet either. Frankly my only complaint is that it's a 19mm lug width, otherwise I'd most certainly have it on a different strap.

>>15788972
>Frankly my only complaint is that it's a 19mm lug width
Are you fucking kidding me this was the single watch I was interested in picking up

>>15787827
Although VC is the oldest continuously running of the trinity, it's also the underdog in terms of production numbers.
So they're rarer and more exclusive. Especially when you look at the RoyalOak/Nautilus/Overseas trio.

They're also the most fun and exciting of the three when it comes to their releases.
Like that Américain in your pic.
Or the Triple Calendar in my pic. I don't think Patek has a watch that comes close to it in terms of aesthetics.

They also have the best logo with the Maltese cross.

hi im tim
i recommend this watch for wrists as small as 8cm in circumference.

>>15788962

I really need to get a reverso, is that the mid or large?

hi tim im
as you can see it's not dominating my wrist

>>15788990
That's the medium. Unfortunately with no formal occasions this year it's seen no sunlight, but it remains the crowning jewel of the collection, I absolutely love it.

>>15788962
It's the I spent $7,000 on fakes collection

>>15788990
How're you liking the bicompax?

>>15788970

you're wrong as you can see i have plenty of clearance i would recommend this watch for wrists as small as 5cm in circumference.

>>15789017

>>15788962
Holy fuck, what a nice collection. I love that you have a big crown in amongst those much heavier hitters. Any VC references on the horizon? Also, I'm a scrub so I don't know this, but what's the reverso's cost next to the GS?

>>15788962

best watch for carfags?

>>15789025
One of the old heuer chronos.

>>15789020
I would *love* a VC Patrimony or Calatrava 5296, but those would likely be years away, unfortunately. My only "plans" for 2021 is I'd love to add a Navitimer 43. Which again throws my "one brand, one watch" thing out the window. The Reverso is usually around $6k.

>>15788996
The mid size is what I've been looking at, nice to see one in a collection for scale. I would just put it on a brown strap and wear it with smart causal clothing, nice collection, rare to see a Rolexs off its braclet but the op looks better for it!

>>15788999
I'm really liking it, I took a chance on it. It's built better than a normal st19 watch, the talanets are better and no issues with qc.

>>15789038
Man that dial is gorgeous. Got a movement shot? Or did you go with the solid caseback?

>>15789038

Why would they change from RO Offshore/Hublot/Richard Mille/... to VC?

VC isn't even remotely trying to play the bling game, instead focusing it's very top end on actual crafts ("cabinotiers").

>>15789103
Rolex might have the best marketing division in the world. Not even apple could get people to enter 5 year waiting lists for 10k low quality steel watches

>>15789125
one of these thugs will walk into a jeweler and see the price tag on a VC overseas and buy 20 pieces for him and his friends. It wont even take a year and VC will start to cover everything with diamonds and up the size to 45mm

>>15789129
>VC is going to turn their Overseas into oversized bling watches!
Meanwhile, in reality.

>>15789112
Not a chance. The Oris is actually my beater watch, it gets a ton of wear. The Seiko is actually the newest addition, just got it last month. Frankly it wasn't my first choice, but I wanted to add one of the new Alpinist models and choices were limited.

>>15787815
Marie?

>>15789126
excellent.

>>15788774
Why do you care? If you don't like Rolex then don't buy one though I doubt you can afford one.

>>15788791
Man the Panerai is fucking yuuuuuge. Is it 47mm or something?

>>15789159
Yep, 47mm Panerai Luminor.

She sounds quirky and fun, very likeable even if her first few videos were watchfinder knocknoffs with cameratime on her instead of the watches.
I found it funny how her personality seems to switch to a bit more "robust" when she speaks natively german. Also that lighting doesnt do her any good.

Imagine the money you would have to spend on gifts.

>>15787827
When you have a lot of money but still want to wear something cheap

Why do bracelets even exist? Especially nice ones.
They get scratched to shit in two weeks just from looking at them.

Even if you only wear the bracelet on special occasions, they'll be ruined in a year.

>>15789167
They dont get scratched to shit, they get chuffed to bits.

>>15789167
So what then? Are watches never supposed to be worn?

>>15789176
It's bad enough that the watch head gets scratched, but bracelets make it a hundred times worse.

>>15789179
Sounds boring to be you.

>>15789179
Bracelet just feels right. Plus it's so much better with water than almost anything else. The only thing I can think of that might be better is a G-Shock rubber strap that has those little bumps on the inside to keep it elevated from your wrist a bit.

>>15789167
I have a Seiko bracelet with a hard coating, and even that gets scratched like a motherfucker just from wearing it around the house.

I got a fabric strap instead, and I can't bear to put on the bracelet anymore.

>>15789193
Either Seiko bracelets are shit or fuck knows what you are doing around the house. I've worn many bracelet watches, including precious metal ones, for years and they barely look worn. Once they come back from servicing they look brand new. Marks of ownership aren't bad.

>>15789194
He is probably retarded and cannot stand looking at the hundreds of microscratches every watch will inevitably pick up during its life

I know its a armand nicolet GMT but I can't find the particular model

>>15789194

Seikos have legit hard coatings.

They're so hard they crack like eggshells, just like Sinn's tegimenting.

can we PLEASE get her to review a vostok while wearing a tank top PLEASE

>>15788742
Do you recommend it for wrists as small as?

>>15788774
Hating rolex is the real braindead take, just echoing the same opinion over and over again.
Rolex pretty much created a line up of classics, just like a pair of 501s jeans or a pair of converse all stars. Everybody talks shit but if they completely redesign their watches, people are going to talk even more shit.

>>15789011
green is the most uncommon one if that matters to you
im sure the straps would be as equally shit as those on the smaller snk so yea you should replace those

>>15788853
thanks man
im okay with the case but will have to see
seems like its truly a rare bird if all that emerged after so long is only 4 of these. Yours is in very good condition
do you still remember how much you paid for it? the price was what gave me pause but after anxiously checking on it for weeks I knew there was no getting away

>>15789224
Dont know about that, but she once said she wanted a Raketa. And if she only had a tanktop on in that rolex unboxing vid, Im pretty sure her nips would shatter the crystal.

>>15788307
fakes are for frauds. why would you wear a watch that says the word "rolex" on it if it isnt a rolex? are you trying to fool people?

>>15788962
Not gonna lie, it's the second best collection I have seen here/reddit, being the first one with tons of rare shitters, vintage quartz Omegas and some meme watches.

>>15788791
not a bad collection at all, only nitpick would be rarity
the alpinists are really nice but i would have gotten a red alpinist instead of the new prospex one. Seems like its bigger too, did they have a bigger model?

>>15788962
great collection

I WANT A SEAMASTER PRO
FUCK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>15789250
then get one?? tf

>>15789250
Then buy one, they're based.

>>15789221
To be fair it is a valid argument. If you have never owned a Rolex or even seen/held them up close how can you give a real critique? It's like trying to review a film you have never watched.

>>15788570
totally different aesthetic
divers are also very unfriendly to small wrists

>>15789233
I don't remember cost off hand, but probably less than $100 altogether with the agent. I could maybe dig up the emails but not right now.

>>15789254
Eh, it's kind of more like saying that you'd have had to be there for the filming to judge the movie.

Finishing and quality can obviously only be felt, but if it's a core design choice that you don't like I think it's kosher. You might be surprised in person but that doesn't mean you have zero opinion or judgement until then.

>>15789257
Oh yeah, I have a pocket watch too. I think it was priced higher but was the nicest looking one available at the time. Jilin pocket watches were certified for the railway if you see the logo on the back, but this one isn't sadly. Didn't consider your watch could have been overpriced like some listings tend to be, and now I'm curious what it was.

I went through a very rough year and would like to commemorate it by getting a new watch. The only decent watch I have is a black dialed Datejust, which is very versatile and can be combined with anything. I would like something more playful for my next watch. My budget is about $10k in Europe, any suggestions?

My ideas so far:
>IWC Portugieser
>Grand Seiko with a blue dial
>JLC Ultra thin Moonphase
>TH Monaco

>>15789233
I was thinking green, but would it look weird with a metal strap?

>>15789279
IWC is trash
Wear a Monaco before you consider buying

Are Grand Seikos too polished to wear as a daily watch?

I dont want to grab too much attention to my expensive watch. Also polishing in my experience doesnt look that great after a year or two of general wear and tear.

>>15789290
no

>>15789279
I've been through a rough year and I can't justify a new watch right now even though last year I was trying a bunch out. The tag is the most playful by far. There are some picture watches out there, but I can't be arsed to remember what movement or who makes them.

>>15789290
Polishing kills angles. GS is usually just a little stealth wealth so you'll be ok.

>>15789257
>>15789260
oh its fine, just wanted to get a general ballpark as I didnt have a reference to go off on.. kinda curious
man thats a really nice pocketwatch, Ive dont think ive seen a red one like that listed too, most of the MHL pocket watches ive seen were just plain. The indices and hands on that are in superb condition,no tarnish or spotting

about how long ago was your purchase? yea the relatively high asking price probably kept it in stock...personally im ok with it tbqh, i felt thankful enough to even be able to find it now. From what ive read most of the nice VCMs have long been snatched up by collectors, and Ive gone through hundreds of online stores/every single listing on TB/XY, almost given up before I found it

>>15789282
theres a metal bracelet version with fitted end links but it only exists on the snzg13. It looks fine but the end links are folded..
heres what they look like on 3rd party
i think it'll look good and you can get like a nice brown leather strap too

>>15789294
>but I can't be arsed to remember what movement or who makes them.


The newest one has in house movement

I think I'll go for it, thanks

>>15789287

Thanks, unfortunately none of my friends have a Monaco so I will have to try it on at a local buotique.

as you can see it hugs the wrist elegantly

Hi Tim.

ya I can recommend this for a wrist as small as 13cmm circumference

He's the best watch reviewer on YT for that and other reasons.

Why does /wt/ have the worst forced memes?

You're that one guy who keeps telling the same joke over and over because they assume the reason no one is laughing is because no one heard

I love the look of cases with facets that look like they could cut you

None. This bezel is too big.

It looks absolutely amazing in person, even through a loupe.

>>15789525
Also, it's pretty much exactly the same size as the old Marinemaster 300, which is absolutely doable for the average wrist.

>>15789146

Then literally what's the point of everything else retard?

>>15789552
The end links are solid, and that watch has arguably the best-finished hands and indices in any dive watch.

>>15789543
Unfortunately I’m a wristlet.
>>15789552
>buy a pelagos anon
Yeah I love the Seiko but it’s a really hard sell for me. It looks fantastic but the size and high price are a major turn off. It would be hard not to get a basic GS + Tudor BB58 for roughly the same amount of money.

Does /fa/ have any experience with Soviet watches? I really love some of the aesthetics and graphic design on these.

>>15788888
AHHHH. But i agree.

>>15789552
>>15789574
Honestly, understandable but the seiko mm300 look really nice in person as nice as a pelagos in my opinion. It is fuckhuge tho and the pelagos is pretty cool for other reasons. I'd probably get the bb58 and a seiko 9f or something like the other anon

>>15789492
>swan neck
lmao on chinkshit it's completely cosmetic
swan necks can't just be a piece of steel

>>15789580
where have you been
soviet shitters get posted all the time
the R. copernic is one of the most effay ones, i like the windrose and the 24hr navy one too
lots of frankens though. Ive even seen some on ebay with the wrong papers

>>15789492
I have an HKED, but it has no swan neck regulator.

Lets be real, this was the peak of seiko design

>It's also deceptively clever in what it chooses to show and when it shows it. Because, if you haven't already noticed, those hours on the dial aren't all facing the right way up. Only one does, and only for 60 minutes at a time. As in the other 'Upside Down' watches, the numerals are each set on their own, independently mobile disc with a simple dot to indicate the hour. When the minute hand precisely reaches the fifty-ninth second of the fifty-ninth minute of the hour, the past hour number instantaneously turns 180 degrees upside down. Simultaneously, the new hour turns right side up.
Kino

>>15789574
The Pelagos looks a lot worse in terms of size, see pic.
Not just head-on, but it also looks a lot thicker due to its completely sheer slab sides.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Pelagos. It was my grail watch for the longest time a few years back.

>>15789592
>>15789492
swan necks only started to appear on these recently
i dont see the big deal though, its just a small bonus meme addon to make regulation more convenient. Like ok... whatever..nice

>>15789594

>>15789596
It's a billion times easier to adjust with the twist of a screw to get an accurate time. Obviously if you don't regulate it doesn't matter.

>>15789199
Its the JH9. I found it on jomashop and it caught my eye. I looked at the armand nicolet website but they didn't have the model listed. It might be a new model that hasn't been updated to the website or discontinued.

>>15789580
I own the Copernicus, Raketas are incredibly well designed. Vintage Soviet watches can either be gaudy pieces of shit or god tier, no middle ground.

Be wary if you are buying these though, there are tons of fakes.

>>15789600
you could also just nudge the lever like how everyone else does it on other watches
if its so useful it would be seen on more watches but it isnt
its a very niche thing
how many watch owners even regulate their watches. Most are extremely casual and dont dare to open the caseback or even change some straps

>>15789607
I did it for a bunch of watches after realizing how easy it was to just try it. It's really hard to move it so that you get just the right amount because one, I don't have a timegrapher so I have to wait for a while, and two, it's really sensitive. It will swing wildly between say -5 to +30 if you aren't careful. Something like this is even better, though. For all the shit people give ETA/Sellita movements, this thing is great and doesn't come on the normal japanese shitters everyone loves.
