How to accidentally look like a massive Star Trek nerd

Why are Hodinkee such hacks?
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/three-on-three-vacheron-constantin-overseas-piaget-polo-s-audemars-piguet-royal-oak

>the dial is blue.
The dial is the same type of blue dial on the FP Journe Chronomètre Bleu ffs.
Say something more about it other than "it's blue".

>the movement is not as nicely finished as the AP's
Buddy, the VC's movement has mirror beveling.
The AP's movement is entirely machine finished.
Pic very related.

Basedmaster

>>15796485
Two reasons. Many of the Hodinkee people are personal friends with the high ups and CEO of AP. The other reason is that the dial and case matters more than the movements. It's what you see 99% of the time. Sure VC definitively has the better movement in every metric but the RO beats it on design, dial, case, bracelet and iconic status.

I want to buy a watch but I don’t know which. Can you recommend me something? I would like to have Breitling but it costs too much so I’m thinking about buying a Luftwaffe replica lol

>>15796494
>The other reason is that the dial and case matters more than the movements.
Even if I agreed with that (editor's note: I don't), they directly compared the two movements and claimed that the AP movement was better finished.

They don't know watch finishing from a hole in their ass.

>>15796494
>but the RO beats it on design, dial, case, bracelet and iconic status.
It also beats in in the "most worn by clueless richfag snobs".
And for that reason I am out.

I'll give you iconic status; but design, dial, case, bracelet are matters of opinion.

Literally a tasteless nigger watch

>>15796495
Luftwaffe replica? The hanhart? That would be cooler of people didnt associate it more with whoever the old timey racer actor faggot was or whoever. Check out the brand b-uhr if you want a cheap chrono with an iron cross on it, they look like chinese watches upsold 340% but its the most anti semetic brand outside of a laco/stowa

>>15796501
thanks a lot

>>15796510
no, I meant cheap no-brand replica from Ebay. It costs around 100$ or something like that. Hanhart looks decent, I will check b-uhr too

what's a good cheap business wear watch, that is kind of like a nomos, around 38mm, thin case, doesn't have to be auto, but auto would be nice, date too, but no date is ok. less than $250

>>15796532
a citizen eco-drive

>>15796526
I mean probably dont check out b-uhr, I have never seen anyone other then the owner post them. Its probably just the closest watch brand equivalent to thor steinar or something

>>15796532
Invicta Zeus Bolt Magnum Anatomic

>>15796532
>>15796536
i found this on ali but it has a sea-gull movement, i dont know anything about a sea-gull movement

>>15796542
>invicta
before i even look at this, i get the feeling it's a nigger watch

>>15796546
Seagull is old and Chinese. They are not terrible but that design is really unoriginal. If you don't care about that, go ahead. Seagull makes decent watches and that's a nice looking watch.
Unless you are actually meeting with executives and shit nobody will care about your watch so you can wear whatever you want as long as it doesn't look like Invicta nigger footballer shit.

>>15796550
Become a nigger

>>15796542
What a unit

>>15796526
>>15796495
theres a bunch of quartz powered pilot chronographs like the seiko fightmasters, the various citizen hawks etc
theres also a lot of almost lookalike breitling homages from brands like Stuhrling and Rotary, this is the cheapest option if you dont mind homages
there are even mechanical options like this Orient Explorer(if you can find it) or the Poljot Blue Angels

>>15796546
Seagull is fine. They are the largest movement maker on the planet. the bulk of their production is budget friendly movements. Thats obviously a nomos homage. They really need a nicer logo.

>>15796557
so go steal a watch?

>>15796564
Yes, make sure to kill/beat the fuck out of the whitey you get your reparations watch from too.

>>15796562
thank you, it helped a lot. probably gonna buy one of these

>>15796564
To defeat the nigger you must become one, turn off you vast intellect, let your inner primate senses take over and see the world how an ape does. Only then will we have the sheer force of will and blind lack of empathy to abolish the negroid menace.

>>15796503
tasteless idiots will ice out anything but that should not be a reflection of the actual watch itself. the brand can't stop them doing it.

>>15796571
i'll prepare a gofundme account, then i can just buy something too

>>15796585
The brand encourages them

>>15796585
>the brand can't stop them doing it.
But the brand is doing it themselves.

>>15796585
>>15796593
Patek too.

>>15796593
>>15796598
At least Vacheron doesn't play into the oversized, iced-out nigger watch trend.

>>15796593
>>15796598

>>15796593
>>15796598
And those are incredibly rare application only pieces or made for a very special customer. Almost every example you see on Instragram is an after market job because the direct availability from Patek or AP does not exist.

>>15796615
>And those are incredibly rare application only pieces or made for a very special customer.
They're in the regular line-up on their websites.

>>15796632
Well yeah, for companies like that anything is available for a price. So they'll still advertise them. Don't expect to see these watches at a local high street shop though.

Ya, I bought the bundle.

>>15795725
Thx man. I might order the dial and hands from there and just get a cheap 25 usd case from ebay since I just want something to fuck around with and I dont even know if itll fit my twink wrist

GET HYPE

>>15796632
They list this watch too on their website. It's a $1.2m minute repeater application-only piece produced in single digits numbers per year.

>>15796715
Sometimes "in production" means very small production numbers, yes.

>>15796510
>That would be cooler of people didnt associate it more with whoever the old timey racer actor faggot was or whoever
Kill yourself, retard.

He better fucking release a basic two-hander alongside whatever the "zweigesicht" will be.

Bros, where to buy a movement for my skx013? I don't want the upgraded one, don't care much about handwinding and hacking and I'd need other parts for that as well. After abusing it for five years it has finally given out.

>>15796863
I have that watch on a rubber strap. I recently broke the stem off of it and have it at a shop to be fixed. Good work watch.

>>15796852
There comes a time in every watch enthusiast’s life when they realize Archie was right all along.

>>15796852
>>15796888
Fuck that. They are two worst watch channels on Youtube.

>>15796888
trips of truth

>>15796763
the regular 7S26 movement is around $70 on esslinger, but you'd probably be better off just getting an NH36 for like $30 on amazon

>>15796763
theres literally no reason not to get a nh36 over a 7s26. Its cheaper and much more readily available. You just have to do a few things like swap the movement holder or whatever

>>15796638
Is that a smartwatch?

>>15796852
I honestly do not get what people dislike about him.

>>15796950
>30 min videos about some insignificant $100 shitter

>>15796763
There’s a service that will swap out your movement with the upgraded NH36, which I know is not what you want. It’s still the only feasible option if you aren’t good at DIY things. The service includes:
>fitting the new stem, which includes sizing, this is easy to screw up as an amateur
>regulating the new movement, not hard to do but it’s a nice touch
>pressure testing up to 100m

This is not to mention the removal of the hands, which can be screwed up by amateurs as well. The service is around 150, which is worth more than the watch, but gives it at least another 10 years of service life.

>>15796963
thats the same reason why people like him though

>>15796950
I guess that he acts a bit pompous, but in a wholesome way. Looks like he is larping, but probably is his personality. From all the watch channels that are not watchmaking/restoring, his channel is the one I like the most, he talks about stuff he likes, never shills, does proper reviews.For me the opposite is that channel with an annoying shilly voice with a pair of hands that only holds a watch and from time to time makes some stablished robotic movement,god, I fucking hate that channel and its comment section is the cringiest thing, a plethora of cocksucking simps, I only watch that channel because of the images, I always mute the video.

>>15796976
>I only watch that channel because of the images, I always mute the video.
eh, I've gotten some gems of knowledge from watchfinder's scripts.

>>15796965
Sounds good. Who does this?

>>15797008
The Escapement Seiko Mods. The guy recently started in 2020, but does good work.

>>15796976
I agree. He's an eccentric LARPer but otherwise sympathetic fellow. Interestingly he appeared way less joyful in his earlier videos but had a change of mind after his lung problems and it seems genuine.

>Watchfinder
What do you expect, his videos are primarily adverts for the website. Could be worse to be honest.

>>15796593
>>15796598
It's ugly but if they're diamonds that makes for an extra scratch resistant case, right?

I bought a watch I adore, and the fucking second hand fell off and is tumbling around the case :(

>>15797067
just open it up and put it back on with tweezers
>>15797008

>>15797082
make sure to use brass tweezers so you don't scratch anything

>>15797117
>hello mr dealer, I would like a dead rat strap for my shitter

why arent non-round watches as popular as round ones?

the human arm is a long rectangle (kinda) so wouldnt a square watch make the most sense?

>>15797161
There are a few reasons, but really it's because square watches are harder to design than round ones. Circles are a bit more eye-catching as a shape and when you want to put a lot of stuff on them the symmetry of a circle is easier to work with.

>>15797161
Time is a circle so the round shape is an important symbolism

>>15797161
You need big dick energy to wear non round watches.

It's in the new COD.

I am now entering an obsessive phase regarding the Omega (Constellation) Globemaster. I will read and watch videos about it and go mad about whether I like the white or blue better and on which bracelet or strap. This will last around two weeks, after which the watch will start to repulse me and I will move on to something else.

>>15797297
>called the globemaster
>not a GMT
why

>>15797297
White dial and bracelet.

Anyone who buys a watch on a strap is stupid at some point down the line you will want the bracelet. Any old leather strap will do but only factory bracelet will be perfect

>>15797375
This, you always get the bracelet
It's dumb not to because usually the difference between the bracelet and non-bracelet version of a watch is $100 but then if you ever want the bracelet separately afterwards it's $500-$700
There is no reason to not get the bracelet option if there is one

>>15797161
Love that.

>>15796721
No you, worshipping some rich faggot from the talking pictures

Sup /wt/, I feel like picking up a sub homage to throw on a nato or leather strap so I can LARP as Sean Connery without having to track down a Black Bay 58 or something. First inclination was towards this San Martin on AliEx but I also found you can get a sub homage with an Eta/Sellita movement for under $200, only issue is it's an Invicta. I'm honestly pretty averse to NH35 watches with ghost dates, so what do you guys suggest: the looks at a higher price, or the better movement at a lower price but with Invicta emblazoned everywhere?

>>15797418
We love invicta here, fuck you faggot you arent better then anyone, if I ever see you on the cruise I'll remember what you said

>>15797346
I believe it has an independent hour hand so you can easily set the local time when travelling without stopping the movement.

>>15797418
I am pretty sure they will put a Sellita in that chinkwatch for an extra $100 and even though it costs more, it will be better than having Invicta because the chink knockoff brands put more effort into their finishing than Invicta does

>>15797107
>there will never be an extremely high horology watch themed after your favorite TV show ever: teenage mutant ninja turtles

Guys, today I was looking at my wrist and noticed that my right wrist looked bigger, I previously measured it and it was just a few mm bigger than the left, today it was a bit more than 1cm, in inches, my left is about 6,8 and my right one is 7,3inch. Should I fap with the left hand too or is there any exercise like wrist rolls?.Or should I start wearing the watches on the right arm like russians?

>>15797249
What does this mean? Explain yourself

So this one's Star Trek >>15797107

Pic related is Godzilla.

Any more high-end watches based on popular franchises?

I need a cheap dress watch for under 300€, one that shows taste even in the low budget range. I don't want to spend more, I am going back to school and work in a suit, I'll buy a really a good watch once I graduate, as some motivation. Are Varios any good? They look pretty cool but I read that they seem to be low quality, like the hands look like cheap paper or something.

>>15797418
You can get a cronos sub homage with a pt5000 which is apparently a very good eta clone or an sw-200 for a pretty decent price. You can find some reviews on youtube, id recommend getting the pt5000 version since it seems to have very good performance.

His videos are 30 minutes long reading verbatim wiki articles or work from other people. Also all the problems with stolen pictures with no credit etc. Some people even speculate that he got a youtube copyright strike, that's why he stoped uploading for a while.

Unfortunately there aren't many Rolex watches that I actually enjoy the look of. For one I hate the cyclops date magnifier, and I'm also really not a fan of the mercedes hour hand. Basically leaves me the Oyster Perpetual and the Daytona, and I like the Speedmaster more than the Daytona. If I were to get a Rolex it would basically have to be an OP. Might happen someday, but right now I don't feel like I really have room for it.

>>15797566
It is the reissue, I remember wanting this design as a kid and not getting it, so as soon as I spotted the new one I bought it. The 12-year-old inside of me was very pleased.

totally. the middle school I attended when the gen 1 and 2 were new was heavily into the Benetton/Swatch etc look but I was a poorfag who was lucky to have a Memphis-design-looking trapper keeper from a clearance bin. all those original designs are classics to me.
I want a jellyfish but they reissued it as one of those fuckhuge special editions and the previous reissue I don't like the green and orange on the movement in place of the original in primary colors. and all the vintage ones have turned brown from uv damage.

>>15797596

there's probably a lot of seagulls to look at.
look at the Timex Marlin reissues, there's several colors and I recommend the smaller case size unless you have fat/bodybuilder wrists. I believe it's 36mm vs 42 but can't remember offhand.

round up your collections with a square watch :^)

I see a bunch of factories in India that claim to be selling radium luminescent powder. Any chance that's real radium or is it just some weird Indian language thing where they call photoluminescent powder radium?

It comes off much more white in person, it's not really that silver unless the lighting is pretty specific.

>>15797647
I can understand that. I have a bit of a shoe fetish and consider my sneakers and leather shoes to be 2 completely different collections. To be more accurate the leather shoes are out of necessity and the sneakers are for enjoyment.

>>15797762
I could get into a square, I just haven't found one I really like that much yet. At one point I was considering a Cartier Santos for the history, but then I got the JLC and it didn't seem right to have two dress watches.

>>15797762
>>15797762
>>15797768
now that I think of it, it's pretty stupid isn't it? I can imagine the glass not being as tight/leakproof because the pressure is not evenly distributed. And as you can see the corners are just a bunch of pointless empty space with no added information.

I want Casio LCW-M170D.
All-steel, sapphire crystal, solid links. Clean analog dial with LED backlight + LCD for calendar/alarm/timer/... that doesn't ruin the look of the watch. It's kind of heavy though. There is a titanium version, but the dial looks worse on that one.

>>15797816
I want it, but I don't want to spend 260$ on a Casio. I wish they'd remove all meme features like solar power and radio control, put a simple big battery in it, and lowered the price to ~150$.

>>15797771
i tried this on in store but 39mm is too big for my wrists, why dont they offer this in 36mm ?

>>15796577
Please don't, you'll only be unhappy with a non-luxury watch, it's like the mark of the cuck, it makes you even more miserable and depressed than not wearing a watch in the first place.

>>15797821
I'm not sure, actually, I bet that would sell like hotcakes.

Is Rolex the Apple of watches?

>>15797508
>one that shows taste even in the low budget range
Doesn't exist, cheap watches are made for the masses which don't have taste by default, that's their literal purpose in the world, to be an easily influenced tasteless shapeless blob that the real people can control and use to prop themselves up. Sorry.

>>15797839
Yes. They are the "expensive brand" to normies.
But they both make absolutely great products for their price range.
>t. Thinksplorer poster

>>15797812
>And as you can see the corners are just a bunch of pointless empty space with no added information.

Thats why if you want a square watch you get a cartier, sneedverso or tag huehue monaco.

>tfw my mom wants to buy me a watch for Christmas
>tfw she thinks that whatever she sees in the middle shelf at the local shopping mall in a third world country is decent (think $300 Edifice)
How do I explain to her that we're poor and she can't afford a good watch? It's heartbreaking how oblivious she is to our situation, she still thinks I'll be successful one day even though I'm over 40 and I've been a NEET for 20 years now and we've been living off savings for a decade and I'll never be able to move out or do anything with my life anymore?

I really don't want to have to pretend that whatever her $300-500 can buy is a good gift, and I'd rather she spent it on something that will improve her or our life, but I'm pretty sure she'd just spend it on junk that she'll never use since she's a compulsive hoarder.

>>15797845
>great products
>Apple
Apple products may *feel* great, but they often are plagued with problems that are unfixable by design, and should not be acceptable in that price range. While Rolex products are meant to be owned for a very long time, Apple products are disposable (again, by design).
Also, the size of markets for Rolex and Apple is not even close to being comparable.

>>15797866
Christine? Is that yiu?

>>15797868
Bullshit. Apple in most cases makes the best products of it's category. Macbooks, iPods, iPhones, tablets, monitors.
It's just pure contrarian shit to say apple doesn't make great products even if they are little expensive.

It's a watch, it works, it's well-made for the price, it looks good (or maybe it doesn't, depending on personal tastes). It's not a bad gift.
But if you want her to get something important rather than waste money on a watch, you should tell her exactly that.
Also, don't forget to tell her how you are seeking life advice on 4chan.

Help me out anons, what should I buy:
These 3 watches: Black Bay 58 (if I can find it, probably second hand), Oris Pointer Date, and Omega Speedmaster MAN ON THE FACKIN MEEWWWNNN
A single Rolex
Or a lightly used Honda Civic

>>15797886
car, or better yet stocks/precious metal

>>15797882

>>15797886
That Oris or the light blue one.
The bb58 is good too.
Sneedmaster is shit

>>15797886
If you need a new car, definitely car. I never feel comfortable buying a watch that I couldn't afford to buy twice. Watches are expensive luxury goods, but they should never be such a stretch to the point where if something breaks on your car or the roof of your house starts leaking in six months, you'd have to consider selling the watch in order to pay for it. Luxury goods are great, and it does get the juices flowing a little more when it's more than you *should* be spending, but be responsible first.

>>15797886
pelagos but get a car first retard

>>15797866
>>tfw she thinks that whatever she sees in the middle shelf at the local shopping mall in a third world country is decent (think $300 Edifice)

Wtf ungrateful bastard, be glad you have a mother that wants to gift you something.

Dangit this shitter is still comfy

>>15797866
in the same boat im just telling her to get me a casio at least those are good shitters

I WANT A SEAMASTER PRO
FUCK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>15797907
they a quite achievable to get it bro

>>15797516
yes, but i know the shitty thing with 5610's is they don't, 5600's do

>>15797909
Another reason to choose 5600 over 5610. Cheaper and more practical. Sometimes less is more.

>>15797758
there are some marathons that get posted here with the universal "radioactive" logo on the dials, so I assume that's what that is

>>15797915
All current marathons are tritium tubes

>>15797866
You should probably kill yourself

why is JLC so based bros?

>>15797918
Tritium is radioactive

>>15797902
I'd rather I didn't so that I can finally kill myself. She's the only family I have left.
>>15797919
See above.
>>15797905
I guess. It's just so depressing, she lives in her own reality and she doesn't even understand how many people are better off than us and how low we are on the ladder, or she does and thinks it could instantly change tomorrow, I don't even know anymore.
>>15797884
I tell her things every day but the next day she just acts like it never happened, she's just been reliving the same day over and over again since dad died.

>>15797886
Get the watches in your pic but don't get the speedy and get the blue BB58.
Actually just get pic related, maybe the 37mm version if it fits you better.
Yachetmaster ref 126622

>>15797900
Why though? I don't have a car either and I'm saving up for a Rolex, why would you even need a car in 2020 if you live in a city?

>>15797926
Imagine going out try try and buy a daytona instead of this

>>15797930
The watch that mogs the submariner

>>15797930
The watch that mogs the sub

>>15797886
Knowing a car is on the list, Get the Oris, is nice, and is the cheaper watch there, then save the rest for the car. Tudor is nice, Speedy only if you are a space nerd, and not just in the sense of ''Haha, rockets go fshhhhhh,I have a personal conection with the moonwatch''.

>>15797947
Maybe he is murican and lives on a shithole and needs a car even for buying food at the market. I'm a 34yo eurofag and I don't need a car at all.Bike,bus,train and subway is all what I need.

>>15797970
>34 yo
>euro
>can’t even type properly
>doesn’t need a car bc no family, no gf

Pretty sure you don’t have a car bc you’re not legally allowed to lmao.

>>15797926
Modern day JLC is cringe.
Almost omega tier.

Is Orient Star a good choice for <$500 automatic, or just a poor man's Seiko Presage?

>>15797999
Orient Star is based, but probably a bitch to service

POST THIN

>>15797819
i love these watches

>>15798033
The ultimate thin sports watch

>>15797909
Ty bro

>>15798039
it's white gold anon
>>15798033

So someone picked up that awesome citizen ani-digi reissue. Now who is going to get the seiko voice digital?
Unfortunately i can't find a video but here is a different vintage talking model
https://youtube.com/watch?v=u00r7QcQzxc
Silver model is reference SBJS013
https://www.sakurawatches.com/seiko-audio-digital-watch-sbjs013

>>15798044
>sport watches can't be white gold
Nah.

So casio makes this fire Mrs-G model
38mm, radio time setting, solar, 100m wr, only 10mm thick.
But the radio time setting only receives the radio signal in japan and china, no multiband 6.
Fucking blows

>>15797928
Yes but it's tubes and he asked for applied lume not tubes.

>>15798068
Radio time is a meme. It's a quartz watch, it's accurate enough to keep time by itself.

>>15798068
>>15798068
solar/perpetual calendar/radio time setting also in eu and usa/titanium
read up on pic rel, they have dlc model if you are after that
only bad thing I noticed with citizen is shitty finish on hands

>>15798068
just get MUD

>>15797130
189 of your finest millimetres ho

I can recommend this watch for a wrist as small as 13 sneedimeters in circumference

>>15797465
I fap left handed and right hand does everything else. I don't have one wrist bigger than the other.

>>15798072
Fair point, it is somewhat of a "because we can" when they're already accurate to like +10/-10 seconds per year, but it is nice to never have to deal with DST for example. Plus, it's kind of cool to know that you're *that* accurate with a $100 G-Shock.

>>15797843
The time honoured phrase "money doesn't buy taste" springs to mind. inb4 poor cope

>>15797531
Back when I was a teen I owned pic related. The empty bit under REG would display an bar animation that moved in time with the pulse rate. I miss that little watch.

>>15798118
do they not make them anymore?

>>15798112
DST is stupid and should be abolished globally. But it is a real use case for this feature, yes - even if not very important. More relevant use case would be frequent travel between time zones.

>>15798118
Never had that one, but I did have the one that could turn off the TV at one point. Casio did so much cool stuff for us nerdy kids.

Pic related is very likely going to be the next watch I add to the weird/fun quartz collection. Certainly more expensive than it's worth, but it's *exactly* what 12-year-old me would have wanted more than anything.

>>15798126
I want to say G-Shocks only sync with the atomic clock once per day though, you'd still likely set the watch before it synced.

>>15798131
Oh, actually, scratch that, they give you a button to do it on-demand don't they?

>>15797995
>Almost omega tier.
That's a bit harsh, no other brand will match the limited edition idiocy and stale lineup

ive looked and i looked and i ended up where i didnt want to and thats rolex.

>>15798135
They do, although the process takes several minutes, and you shouldn't move the watch until it's finished.

What's a nice cheap watch that can displays 2 time zones. Was thinking something like this.

>>15798149

Explorer 114270 is the second to last stage in the life of everyone ITT. The last stage being a few years before death, wherein you will wear some shitty Citizen quartz ecodrive with a white dial.

>>15798172
36mm is a size for women or faggots that don't know how to drink milk.

>>15798177
Post your Diesel Daddy

>>15798162
I like this color more. Wish they used better materials instead of the usual plastic+acrylic. The watch is cheap, but it's not *that* cheap.

>>15797866
42 year old neet failure here. My mum breaks my heart sometimes. I'm considering apologizing to her for growing up to be a failure.

>>15798189
I got me a real man's watch that is betta than rolex. Day of the rope is coming for the black dial explorers.

>>15796492
I was looking at those exact Citizen NY's and perusing the local Jag dealer for an F Type maybe a month ago. Great taste wristlet.

>>15798206
How did you get like this?

>>15798218
>pave and cording
lmao good one

>>15797866
>>15798206
I would ask wtf are you doing with your lives but you have no life left to live.

>>15797866
At the age of 40 you can't talk to your mother like an adult and tell he "do not buy the fucking watch" it's no wonder you're still a failure.

>>15798201
I do like that but I'd like it to match their gold rope chain they like my gold a168 too.

>>15797970
>Speedy only if you are a space nerd
What if you want to LARP as a late 60s race car driver with a nice watch?

>>15798254
Some kind of heuer maybe? Carrera? Monaco?

>>15798257
Please don't remind me about my Autavia that I haven't had for most of the year anon

real talk what's with all the Speedy hate?

I think they look pretty cool

>>15797100
plastic tweezers have absolutely no grip to them.

>>15798274

They hate the fact that it can survive in the harsh environment of outer space while their GShocks and Mudmen can only subsist with being useful within the confines of the space ship.

>>15798268
My condolences. Haven't found some independent watchmaker that could fix it yet, did you?

>>15797866
>>15798206

>>15798274
It's not a bad watch, but it has been overshilled by thousands of pages and reviewers, and the quality of the watch, luxury price for a non luxury item, movement was basic workhorse, finishing is bland, no bling, no luxury feeling, that's probably why the last model has some nicer touchs and a new movement. The watch cost around 1,5k 15 years ago and now cost way more than that and its the same watch.New model will cost more but it will be different.

>>15798284
No, I sent it to the Tag "Vintage Workshop" 2 months ago. It should be done early next year. Supposedly they're backed up from WuFlu

>>15798268
Did you manage to get one with the fancy balance spring? Will they let you keep it if you did?

>>15798297
Fancy balance spring? Hell if I know. It's an Autavia 1163 "Viceroy"

>>15798296
RIP, well hopefully they manage to get everything done properly.

>>15798307
Oh nevermind, i was thinking of this autiva

>>15796471
Still in love with my Seiko SNKL45J1 that I got a month back. This is my first automatic watch. Based on this one, does anyone have suggestions on what else I might like?

>>15797918
Wrong

Been digging this thrift store watch. Got a gnarly scratch on it today tho :(

I got scammed into buying a fake GA-2100.
Who fakes a 100 dollar G-shock?

>>15798385
There are fake F-91Ws. If it exists, there likely exists a fake of it.

>>15798388
Man, this was supposed to be my highlight of the week.
Oh well, lesson learned I guess

>>15798399
My condolences anon. I guess try & see if you can get a chargeback or something?

>>15798327
kamasu.
had mine for about a year. it's taken an absolute beating but running perfectly. sapphire crystals are no meme either.

>>15797738
>taking an 80k watch into water

>>15797738
Neat. Would be nice to see some vid of that function working.

>>15798274
It keeps time like shit.

How do we beat Rolex bros?

>>15797091
People on /wt/ were already posting macro shots of GS mogging Rolex etc. for years before Watchfinder.
But the Watchfinder videos did indeed increase this awareness.

>>15797139
>The watches he is showcasing are all luxury for the most part, so there is not much to nitpick.
Pretty much only Grand Seikos can withstand those macro shots.
Rolex, Patek, Lange, ... all show very rough dial details.

>>15798385
How? Where'd you buy it?

>>15797563
Arch is a luxury bag fag too.

>>15798039
They just have to make it in steel at some point.

>>15798443
It’s pretty cool

>>15798545
>that
>readable

>>15798584
if it is inside the case does it mean it is fake?

>>15798591
No, it's a real patek, and that's a real fleck of dust on the dial.

>>15798314
Nice Pagani homage.

>>15798631
gingers were a mistake

>>15798584
>>15798592
its patek swiss made dust, and adds to the value of the watch. pleb

>>15798650

>>15798206
Did she not contribute to it though? I don't get why people have kids if they can't provide them with a good life.

>>15797768
Yea I've been planing on getting a Reverso, Classic steel back or worth paying the extra for a duoface?

>>15797771
I've thought about the master control line but I've always worried about the lack of contrast.

>>15797830
Thanks

>>15798650
good to know
i would have just had it cleaned and destroyed that valuable patina i mean speck of dust

>>15798385
if its too good to be true its fake
i hope you didnt pay full price
>>15798494
there are tons. tons of fake gshock on those "budget deals" sites
