That looks good actually.

>>15798826
You can pick only five and destroy the rest.

>>15798876
the 3 red orients (the 2 red orient stars are rare and go for crazy money 2nd market because no one has patience for zenmarket. And then the kamasu because I have a strapcode on it and I dont have to check for another kanji one)

then the sturmanskie because it was from a guy here and kind of the highlight of the russian pieces

And then either the oceanus because of it's cost, or the hentai, but I can get another one of those made so probably the oceanus

Fuck this dogshit "hobby" bros. I hate being obsessed with watches. Nothing ever fills the void. Everything is always just one little detail away from being the perfect watch, I'll never be satisfied and I have so much better things to spend my money on but the god damn watches never leave my mind. I spend my money on suits, shirts, shoes even a fucking car in some cases but I gotta lust after a 1000$ piece of generic ETA stainless steel shitter. It'll never be enough, I wish I never liked watches. It's always too big or too small, ugly bracelet or ugly case shape, ugly hands or ugly dial. The ride never ends. I'll never find the perfect watch.

On laco's website they let you pay another 120 for anti reflective coatings on both sides. Does this give a noticeable blue hue in the light or does it take away from authenticity somehow? Trying to figure out if most people opt in for this or not

>>15798975
this.

>>15798986
Also they give you a free engraving on the back where some of that made up zum language is. .... Should this be taken advantage of? I can't imagine anyone ever personalized them since they gave them back, the soldier never owned these apparently. The only concession in authenticity with laco is the sizing unless you want to go jacket size, but outside of that I don't really want to sacrifice much in the way of history (handwind over automatic, 42mm even though 39mm would fit better because then its smaller then divers and too tasteful on wrist)

>>15798969
You can like and be interested in watches it doesn't require you to constantly want to consoom.

People manage to be interest in cars without constantly obsessing over the fact their will never own a Ferrari. You can be interest in cars without owning a fleet of vintage aircooled 911s.

It sounds like you might just be shitty with money and you feel the need to buy whatever you like when watches are so expensive it's better to buy what you love. Maybe try going on a detox from purchasing anything for 6 months to a year. See if you're still interested in the design and mechanical elements of it when you aren't just mentally shopping

>>15798986
>Does this give a noticeable blue hue in the light
Yes, either a blue or purple sheen depending on the angle, type of coating used, and how much of it they used.
>or does it take away from authenticity somehow?
Yes, but this is not a big deal if you want AR coating enough to pay an extra 120 for it.
>>15798991
I think engravings are cheesy unless it's your initials or the date you got the watch or something. And even then I'd rather engrave the inside of a caseback.

>>15798985
Invictas are grails, you are only showing your ignorance here. Throw away the gay science books and turn on shopHQ every once in a while, maybe you'll learn something about watches queer. You probably don't even know wtf a flame fusion crystal is, or the significance of a reserve piece

>>15798993
Would you do the extra coating or no? my wrist is 6 1/2, I would go with the 42mm because I think it should be bigger then 39mm. And then handwind, maybe 3 initials on the back

>>15798937

>>15798941
i actually really like the effect of the tinted glass, which is very rarely, if not never seen at this <$1000 pricepoint
i appreciate that its something different, though its too tacticool for me + im a wristlet so its off limits

>>15798996
If I were you I would try to look up video reviews of the watch in the same size. 42mm on a diver is no big deal because the bezel is a big part of divers so it lessens the visual impact of the full size. But fliegers have a smaller bezel. It may look a bit too big for your tastes, although fliegers are supposed to be very big for max visibility so if you care about accuracy this is not a bad thing and at 6.5, you should still be able to pull it off although it will definitely look bolder than 39mm.
For AR coating, double AR coating is quite luxurious. It does improve readability a lot, and when you angle it and get that sexy indigo sheen it's nice. If this is not something you care about and you want historical accuracy over anything, you can leave it. This is very much a personal preference thing. You have to really want the additional readability and depth of color. Honestly AR coating is somewhat rare at lower price points so I would get it for the hell of it.

>go for crazy money 2nd market
As I sit here wearing Rolex

>>15799022
Which one are you wearing?

>>15798969
I feel you, I just want a sub (no date) speedy and reverso. Some will call it a boring collection but if you get it you get it.

>>15799002
Orient Christmas chrono, nicknamed that because in 2016 they made a 1,000 of them. Kind of the mascot watch of 2brokewatchsnobs podcast because kaz put a spotlight on it to listeners. I found one on zenmarket for 140 something in decent condition that im waiting on. If I get it I'll post video like everything else I own, and rake in the millions from being the person with live footage of one

>>15799008
I understand that visually it will look larger, but seeing the 39mm I just can't square it being that "tasteful" looking. This is me >>15799005 , I'm not gonna have an issue even with the lugs being straight pillars that don't curve down. It looking awkward at angles or whatever it fine since yeah its meant to be this tool clock that is just strapped to you.

Would you personally do the double coating though, or better yet, do you think most consumers click that option? Maybe it is in line with history since I am assuming they could do that if they knew how to back then

>>15799022
I mean I don't know what to tell you, they are triple what I paid. Hence why they wouldn't go to the furnace if I was destroying them. Also I don't understand the mention of rolex, yeah maybe the math adds up over 6-7 years a used datejust.... wow incredible... how will I ever get there. Because that is the pinnacle, having 1 luxury piece that is also just stainless steel with a movement in it for internet prestige. No thanks, I'll take the cool pile of JDM shit and hentai sub instead

>>15798986
I've only really saw the blue hue on crystal that were double coated. It probably depends on the coating used.

>>15799029
>Would you personally do the double coating though, or better yet, do you think most consumers click that option? Maybe it is in line with history since I am assuming they could do that if they knew how to back then
I don't know. I would do it because I think AR coating is sexy.

>>15798969
That Oris is very tasteful, but if you're autistic you might see it as a Sub/FF homage.

Get the Oris big crown pointer date.
>relatively good brand heritage (independent now)
>really nice, tasteful design

It's pretty much perfect for a $1k budget.
And surely if you're into watches you can bring yourself to save up a few months.

>>15798986
Never get the coating on the outside as well, it just wears off noticeably and quickly.

>>15798975
Even then I'd know what I want on my wrist is a big crown sub from the 50s (epxensive, practically useless and a trinket at this point) and not a modern one. Only option is replicas or homages, in which case I'd be sour with the fact it's fake.
>>15798992
I'm very good with money and haven't bought anything other than essentials (gym equipment, house tools etc) since last December and I still obsess over watches. The watch bug is real
>>15799028
I get you man, at least they're the real deal. For dress watches I think a reverso or a tank would set me for life.

>>15799057
>turn-o-graph
?

>>15799063
That was the predecessor to the Submariner.

I do think that specific design is from after the Submariner though, it looks just like one.

>>15799063
It refers to the bezel action to measure time. It was rare for comercially sold skin divers and was introduced in 1953 along with Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms (which they say Rolex copied)
>>15799049
I'm fine with light homage and not straight up mercedes hands and sub dials. The Oris I posted would be perfect in 36mm but they made it in 40 and a fucking HOE DICK KEY colab to top it off. Oris also has the bronze bezel on the 36mm version of the black dial divers 65 which is also retarded.

>>15798826
Tell me about this one, when and where did you get it and how much? I used to have this as a kid, it was my first grownup watch and I miss it dearly.

>>15799215

no.

>>15799188
Production numbers are down due to COVID so demand outweighs supply and flippers are exploiting that fact even more than normal. Something like 70% of all new Rolex models are selling for over retail on the grey market. That has never happened before especially for basic watches like the OP.

>>15798968
Nice looking watch, but that’s not worth $1,500

>>15799216
its a 70s thing
and that bulova is a reissue

>>15799222
That doesn't look nearly as retarded as that monstrous gape in the new Bulova.

Oh damn I wish that bulova one had a pulse scale. So impossibly rare to find those on anything but high end pieces.

>>15799157
If all else fails you always have the grey market option anyway, plenty of OPs there. I don't think they'll ever see sport model demand and markups

Why would I want to take the phone out of my pocket just to tell what time is it?

>>15799544
Telling the time is the most basic aspect of a watch. If it was about utilitarianism, no one would even bother buying a watch in modern times. Watches are about appreciating their design and the historical intersection of form and function.

Why post in a thread about something you don't like?

>>15799525
what is the point of putting the radioactive symbol on there only to cross it out?
radioactive lume has been phased out except in niche cases and
those watches have a nuke symbol, too. but the squale is crossed out and the "no" is so faint you barely see it even close up. it looks like it's saying it _is_ radioactive.
they made much more complicated than it is.

>>15799580
Great movement and I know it's a regulator but I had that mess of a dial. That minute hand.

>>15799525
I prefer right. The nuclear symbol is distracting. Can you get it on a bracelet?

>>15799544
my watch up until recently was a $25 Weekender.
I only upgraded because of a prime day special and even then I only spent $80.
my watches tell the time on my wrist. the new one gives the day and date, too. they're neither overpriced nor status symbols. but there's nothing wrong with buying something nice to wear at a high price if you can afford it. male jewelry predates clocks and watches by many millenia.
taking a miniature computer out of your pocket and lighting the screen just to find something as basic as telling the time is massive overkill. as soon as time keeping was small enough to fit on the wrist to be glanced at, everyone adopted it. your method is backward.

>>15799544
Can it do this in a swimming pool?

>>15799525
I love the 1521 case with the matte blue dial and orange hands.

I just have been poisoned against squale.

What is the reason to use mineral glass instead of sapphire, ever? Don't tell me about the price. If Casio can put sapphire crystal in $50 watch, then everyone can.

>>15799725
I've got a 1521 with the black dial and polished case, the fact that they make people on here seethe just makes it better tbqh.

>>15799598
Yeah, that's why I'll feel like a poor retard if I buy a watch that I actually like instead of an investment piece. I'll end up with a $6k Sinn or something that will drop to $2k instead of with a $8k Rolex that will go to $20k. Shit sucks when you're poor.

>>15799290
Looks like shit dude.

>>15799744
How much did you pay for it. I hear that "nobody wants them" and "they are worth nothing second hand"

Why?

>>15799761
It’s alright, the rich are psychologically encapable of feeling absolute happiness at any given moment. Even when they cum they’re scheming. Many poets and philosophers have discussed this phenomenon.

>>15799598
This relies on other rich people willing to pay for a given watch to work though.

>>15799732
Optical properties, shattering.

>>15799778
They seem happy enough shitting on poor people though.

>>15799775
Probably because they got shilled by PURE CLASS man

>>15799761
You could just save 2k get the Rolex instead

Do date windows ever look good?

>>15799792
Yeah but I'm poor so I have no taste and as such I don't like Rolex and much prefer the Sinn, which is already too expensive for me anyway.

what do you guys think of my collection so far, only one box the other isnt that exciting

>>15799796
ETA day/date windows almost always look good to me.

>>15799796
I like the way it blends into the dial at the 6 o'clock on my Sea Dragon. They can generally work if they are placed well and aren't distracting.

>>15799821

>you can’t wear a sub with a stra-

>>15799824
Day dates always look more aesthetically pleasing and balanced compared to date windows on watches with subdials or big lume markers imo

>>15799831
just because cool movie guy did it doesnt mean its good, wear a 16mm nato on your sub in public and people will be like "whats wrong with your watch" they wont think youre cool spy man

nah theyre both pretty lame

>>15799732
Justifying market price points, mostly. It's kind of the worst choice of crystal since sapphire is harder to scratch and acrylic is more shatter resistant and has the best optical qualities and can be easily polished.

>>15799761
Tbh who knows what the market will be like in the future. People could lose interest in watches or tastes in brand or style could change (e.g. dress watches may become popular, brands other than rolex and pp could appreciate significantly). Idk rolex will prob always be among the most sought after but watches on the whole seem like a bit of fad right now and there is no guarantee that it will last forever. I suspect valuable vintage watches will remain valuable but will a 2020 sub be worth 20k 40 years from now? Idk. Maybe, maybe not

>>15799862
>used sinn
Doesn't really exist except for the entry level models and even then it's rare.

>>15798969
As the anon pointed out, 1k will get you nowhere perfection.
Pic related.
Its not 1k.

how can watches with the same movement, let's say a classic eta 2824, and the same materials have so different prices? how can there be such a big price difference if what's under the hood, which should be the most important thing in a watch is the exact same and wasn't even made by the house that sells the watch? it's like if a some company made a motor and both peugeot and lamborghini bought it, slightly modified it and put their logo onto it and then sold it

>>15799693
yeah, it's pretty great.
that DeVille is fucking smooth, though.

>>15799902
So it's just like cars? There's $50k cars and $5k cars with the same engine.

So, about the moonwatch...The movement was not the original, the caseback wasn't in the original moonwatch. Why it is called a moonwatch when that watch is clearly a different watch than the one which was on the moon?.

>>15799976
I was seriously considering the 321 Ed White, but I'd rather shit in my own mouth via a complex system of pulleys and mirrors than wear an embodiment of the current SJW climate.

Because no one ever buys them so they're rare.
>>15799943
>>Buy watches you like, don't care about retention value
That's a good way for the poor to stay poor.

Just picked up this shitter for $220. It’s a “”””German”””” pilot/field watch with full lume dial and a Sellita SW200 movement. At 38.5mm I think it’s perfectly midsized. I’ve been on a hunt for a good field watch and I think this is it. This beats out the MWW Rattler, Vaer A5, and Hamilton Vintage field watches I’ve since flipped. The Aristo lume dial is the cherry on top for a degenerate loomer like me.

>>15800003
Ugh.

>>15799308
Thanks Man

>>15800008
Ugh yourself faggot

Got my San Martin vintage diver, it looks good, feels surprisingly solid, this is my first chinky homage an I'm reasonably impressed.
Hilariously my 6in on the dot wrist is so small the bracelet is still loose with all the links removed and the micro adjust moved to the smallest setting. I'm pretty sure if i cut the head off of one of the fake rivets i should be able to remove another link.
I will post pics when i take a dremel to the bracelet tomorrow.

>>15800050
Lume is pretty good, bezel feels really sold, zero backplay but it is a bit tight and misaligned just slightly looks worse in this pic because im holding it at an angle.
Overall it's pretty good for $230
It's too bad they used a bigger case for the retro gmt master homage or I would grab one of those as well.

>>15800003
>>15800050
Looks good
>>15800002
Ya kind of. Depends if you want a watch you like or if you want to make money. Value retention is nice, but I'd also consider that your less likely to sell a watch that really want in the first place. Just dont get memes into purchases and buy a watch that you like and can afford. Or buy used.

>>15800050
>>15800058
Chinks have really stepped it up because of huge advances in machining technology in the past 15 years or so. Also the Swiss just send a ton of their shit there to be machined and then fly it back to let Aryan hands swoop over them for a couple minutes then pass the cost onto you at 4000% markup.
$300 chinkshit is on the same level as microbrands which are on the same level as some $2000 Swiss pieces. Really makes you wonder why the Swiss charge so much and why watchcucks accept it

If you want to get richer, get stocks or invest where the actual money is, if you want to have a watch, buy a damn watch. Watches are like cards or collectable items for bored rich people, its a passtime that can get you some extra money and allows you to flex your wealth the two or three times you use the watch.

>>15799208
Still looks so damn nice.

>>15800109
>If you want to get richer, get stocks or invest where the actual money is
Yeah it's well known that poor people have millions to invest and have access to stock brokers and tax havens and shell companies and all that shit.

there won't be any good ones if any.

How much you need to spend for a watch that actually appreciates in value? Any brands besides rolex and patak philipe?

>>15800191
Why? Are you a fucking loser with no actual knowledge in investment?

Still waiting to see what $50,000 cars use same exact engine or transmission as a $5,000 car.

I can't think of any. I mean, a late 90s Chevy truck that's rusted to hell, but has a 5.3L V8 and comparing it to a brand new 2020 Silverado with a 5.3L?

Might as well say my Windows 95 had a quad-core and my new MSi has quad-core they're basically exactly the same and handle the same shit-posting on a primitive website like 4chan actually these are great comparisons

However the old Chevy got 10MPG and new ones get 25mpg with double the power and torque.

>>15800196

>>15800162
They barely try at all, they shit out countless uninspired limited editions and their whole marketing strategy is Bond and The Moon ad infinitum. It's particularly amusing because everybody knows that Bond actually wears a Rolex, regardless of how much Omega pays for screen time and advertising.
What I really want is for them to do the next Bond movie and it's actually filmed on the Moon and in all of the scenes he's wearing an F91W, get fucked Omega.

>>15800228
That watch is supposed to be a shitload of old tech supported by new tech. The Shiteling Navitimer fused with the timekeeping of modern solar quartz with additional displays for other info.
The problem is that these watches are a massive fucking LARP, no actual pilot uses these things because there's too much shit and it's all too tiny. Only super rich fags with a private plane or young pilots who want to show status buy Breitlings so god knows who this Citizen is for. I guess boomers who want to LARP but not spend the proper Shiteling money.
tl;dr that watch is quite advanced but nobody will ever use the crap on it and it's all supremely impractical, just get a flieger

>>15799616

Doesn’t the El Primero lack hacking?

I once owned a Speedmaster and it was the main reason I sold it.

>>15800231
Ok now do this one

What is everyone's gripe with the new Air King? I know it has colors and 55555555, but it's almost guaranteed to be one of those watches people pay 4x the original price for 5 years from now.

>>15800236
My old ass 70s dateJUST went from around 2.5k to over 4k sometimes 5-6 on chrono24. Kinda wanna sell it but it’s always been in the family.

>>15800240
Wow I read all that and I learned nothing


Now tell me

What the fuck do these watches do?

>>15800248
You can do various calculations on it you stupid fuck.

>>15800245
50 55 5 25 35 45 65

>>15800255
Digits kek

>>15800245

people have been saying this for 4 years.

you’re prob right though.

>>15800251
Like what calculations you stupid fuck

>>15800245
it's literally a watch made of spare parts

>>15800255
I actually like it. The only thing that detracts from the design is the ROLEXROLEXROLEX chapter ring.

>>15800255
>5 15 3 20 25 6
Really now?

Anyone who gets an Air King truly has no taste.

>>15800228

>>15800269
Unless its the Domino's edition, that watch is pure class.

>>15800255
This is unironically one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen. No part of this design makes sense. It's massively wide. The mercedes hand looks out of place. It has that fugly chapter ring. The green does nothing and is too saturated. The choice of numerals makes no sense, And this watch was obviously designed for people who like the number 5 too much.
How much of a brand simp do you have to be to get one of these things? You would have to have no dick.

Think of it as a mechanical calculator, which was used by pilots and engineers in the pre-digital age. The slide rule can be used for,
>multiplication and division
>speed and distance
>currency and temperature converting
>fuel consumption in flight
>Rate of climb and descent, feet per minute
>distance of climb or descent, in nautical miles

Again, it’s a pretty neat thing to have, but it’s rare to see anybody using it nowadays.

I don't get why all the good looking watches have to be exactly 10k, is this a middle "reasonable" figure that you just settle on when you develop taste, are all watch companies in on it so that they keep the exact same value for the exact same amount of money, is this the natural effect of late capitalism, what makes a cheaper watch look and feel so cheap, when I'm 100% sure that it could be made for 1/10 the price.

>>15800286
100% serious dawg it looks like some Ching chong knockoff. It's gotta go and it ain't get anyone any pussy

Hey anon have you ever flown? Best $100 I ever spent was an hour flight in a Cessna 172. I told the flight instructor I played a lot of Microsoft Flight sim and he let me take off

>>15798969
Nothing's perfect though, every watch gets scratched. Things are comfy because they're imperfect, perfect things are in a state of tension because they can be made imperfect so easily. Imperfect things are relaxed and comfy.

>>15800318

I read many books on how to fundamentals of flight and was ready to get into it until I got to the financial part of it and realized that these days flight is out of reach for anyone other than millionaires.

Even when sharing the costs of renting an airplane with others, it remains cost prohibitive. Also where I am you basically have to book your time months ahead of time due to high demand.

The golden age of flight has passed us anon. It will never be the 70s or 80s again.

Would this [ref 3510.50.00] have been a good deal for 2k? It's sold already thoughl.

>>15800334
>piggyback chrono movement
absolutely disgusting

>>15800279
Rolex made the air king for two reasons
To use up leftover dial parts from the old explorer model
To make sure there was a steel sports watch that is so ugly and undesirable that it is always in stock at ADs so poorfags have a chance to get one

>>15800331
I hear you man. Check to see if local airfields do any sort of local tours. This place took me around for an hour but for $250 you can fly to the mountains, get a burger, and fly back. The instructors need to be subsidized by guys like us to cover their fuel costs. They have to get >1,500 flight hours regardless.

>>15800348
What about for an everyday watch that you wouldn't cry if it gets scratched? I don't think anyone getting an air king is going to only have ONE nice watch. Everyone I know with high end shit has SEVERAL high end pieces.

>>15800353
why the fuck would you want a watch you wear every day that looks ass ugly? why not get a watch you can wear every day that actually looks good? I would respect some dude wearing a citizen eco-drive shitter over an air kang

>>15800356

>>15800364
Chump faggot all talk, post your watch collection with a note in your handwriting, as follows, "I am not a chump, anon, 12/18/2020"

So is the Air King the reverse seethe watch a person that can afford one gets to piss off poors who think they have better taste? Or is it just some nigger shit PP/AP?

>>15800374
It's a scam watch that is objectively ugly and only people who need to own something just because it says ROLEX on it would buy that shit. Rolex is basically the Supreme of watches.

>>15800378
But the explorer i or ii or a datejust is like the same price

>>15800353
>What about for an everyday watch that you wouldn't cry if it gets scratched?
There are a million other watches i would get to fill that role before an air king. Sinn, Damasko, some other watch with a hardened case or some other scratch resistant technology.
Rolex 904 steel is soft, they usu it because it's more resistant to corrosion and because it polishes up nicely and more easily.

>>15800406
Are the skinny lug subs officially old enough that you look poor for owning one instead of a newer model?

lol bruh. Its a BlancPain Dive watch. This was literally the first Dive watch ever made.

It looks 10x more sophisticated and classic than whatever gears and dials that piece of shit you posted is.

Henry Cavill x Seiko monster colab when?

>>15800460
I mean forreal, Look at this fucking beauty.

>>15800461
Have you SEEN the current Seiko Monster? It's not worthy.

>>15800462
Second hand and the dots are whack and looks like a cheapo knockoff seiko, which of that, is imitating a rolex t

>>15800303
Its even crazier because these BlancPain Dive watches were the first dive watches ever invented and were actually issued to Maritine divers for multiple militaries (mainly in europe.) Back in the day you'd be given this piece of fucking military surplus. Wild. Now theyre 10-50k.

The Best. Or Nothing.

>>15800465
lmfao. those dots are an air timer. you set it to 60
or 30 when you first enter the dive, and it times how much air you have left. when it reaches 0, you're out of air.

Theyre meant to be highly visible because its kind of important. Its a fucking dive watch lmao. literally every dive watch has this feature. Not my fault you're too retarded to understand what it is. Seiko literally doesn't even come close. And rolex is sub par compared to blancPain which are similar price points.

>>15800468
See
>>15800472
Dive watch. you probably didnt even fucking realize what that dial was for, mouthbreather.

>>15800464

Dont even get me started on that low test piece of crap. 2nd gen is the one and only

>>15800475
lmao. You ever dive? I've snorked throughout the Bahamas. lmfao you LARP in your bathtub with your dive watch? Or the local lake looking for tossed revolvers n shit?

>>15800478
Yeah they've tripled the price of the Monster while completely destroying its identity. I'll never forgive Seiko.

>>15800459
>implying I bought that gshit
Just got the monster. Just telling the scrub that if you want to make money on cheap watches you got to get the limited edition hypebeast garbage and flip it

>>15800462
Looks like shit compared to vintage bathyscaphe come on dude
>>15800461
Why?

>>15800485
Yeah, they softened the brutalist aesthetic that made the Monster so great. When I first so it I thought it was a legit piece of art. They are, hands down, my favorite watches of all time. Funny thing is, I try my best not to get them damaged. I’ve got the entire collection and now I find myself babying them, even though they are beaters. Now I take the Orient M Force like pic related for scuba diving, weightlifting, and outdoor stuff. It has the same design DNA of the Monster, but I don’t feel bad throwing this around

choose one

>>15800503
Depends on the watch.

>>15800255
How much is this piece of shit?

what is it about Rolex that makes me think of America? I live in Europe
