>As implied by the name, the Xeric Invertor has its automatic winding rotor displayed on the top of the watch rather than underneath making for a distinctly unique appearance and an unusual way of displaying the time and allowing you to see the time and automatic rotor in the same glance.
>Having the movement on top also lets the wearer appreciate the intricacies of the mechanical movement, which is derived from a Miyota 9000.
>A new proprietary module was made for the hi-beat Miyota 90S5 - this module makes the watch run backwards so that it could be inverted and tell the correct time.

>Case Material: Hand Finished 316L Stainless Steel
>Crystal (side): Custom dome Hesalite
>Crystal (top): Sapphire
>Dimensions: 46mm x 13mm

I'll believe it when I see it in the jaws of a caliper showing that number.

Does it still have insane miyota rotor wobble at least when its against your arm away its slightly muffled

man the skx really looks its price tag when next to the tudor

>2 divers of the same colour and same vague sub/fathoms design
whats there to say desu
the tudor looks very clean
not a diver guy but i like it

nth for stunners

>>15816541
I really want an arty or high tech sort of watch but none of them speak to me.

>>15816546
Well i guess technically the Tudor can't be called a diver cause no bezel. More of a tool watch with diver design influence

>>15816549
Same
I'd unironically buy one of the more tasteful RMs (bit of an oxymoron, i know) if I could afford one

>>15816548
cuckold

>>15816528
I like the SKX. Not a big fan of the Tudor, the dial is really boring, though I love the case shape and bracelet.
I wish they'd release a Datejust clone watch like the old Prince Date but I doubt they want to cut into Rolex sales.

>>15816548
do you have a stunner to show us?

>>15816549
>arty
they exist of all sorts, from pop art swatches to traditional HH engraving
i would buy a mr jones if they didnt have the retarded lug thing going on
>high tech
too expensive
an urwerk is like at least $50,000
a HYT is more attainable at $20,000 used

unimatic called it a """fixed bezel diver"""

Merry Christmas you retards

>>15816580
I suppose the only thing diver about it is the dots and the screw down crown really

>>15816525
nice
i really like this kind of chunky 70s blocky indices
>>15816591
yea i know
its more like an adventure/sports tool watch

I like unconventional shitters. Even more so when they aren't 50k a pop.

Goddamn I fucking hate nato straps. How can people like nato straps? The strap on my f-91w broke and I put a nato strap on it. I swear every time I put the watch on my wrist I'm gonna break into a fucking fit, it's so fucking annoying to put it on. Fidgeting for a fucking minute to get it on, compared to 3 seconds nice easy smooth procedure to get it on with the original plastic strap. Fuck this shit.

>>15816603
very nice
but how do you read that
its 3 timezones?

>>15816606
>he has never tried a french paratrooper strap
those are the worst. WORST
leather on deployant can be finicky too
natos are easy(ish)
natos are cheap
natos have great colour and pattern choices
natos are comfortable

>>15816631
>natos are easy
fuck off

>>15816631
I think you can read any part since the three time zones are tied together, but ostensibly the main attraction is the red part.

>>15816631
>natos have great colour and pattern choices

>>15816636
i have never heard anyone complain about putting natos on before
i have like 10 natos
they are fine

why is this ugly fucking watch so expensive?
£2,000

>>15816641
>wants to put a NATO with a suit
>complains about lack of choices
??

>>15816641
>I have a thing for nato straps. I find them so comfortable and they can take a very serious piece and make it more fun and much more casual. This Patek Philippe comes on a nice blue crocodile strap but the watch is very dressy on that strap and the florida heat just destroys straps.

>The watch is a Patek Philippe 5070p. It was only made for one year as the swan song for the reference. Most consider the 5070 as the best modern Patek Chronograph and that is backed up by its resale value.
>Do you like dressing down your watches? How about NATO straps on dress watches?

>>15816645
Maybe it was because I was doing the over/under technique. I just right now cut off the under piece, gonna heat the edge with a lighter and try this instead.

>>15816665
>over/under
ya that is harder than the normal method
buy single pass natos next time
they exist

>>15816649
never heard of cwc, waste of money

>>15816649
military boomer fluff and
>Swiss-made, Swiss parts

its not the worst overpriced ETA powered watch there is

>>15816678
How the fuck do you know it's a waste of money if you've never heard of the brand?

>>15816641
They look p bad

>>15816685
Lol well maybe not a waste of money, but most likely won't gain or hold value if I haven't heard of the brand.

>people ACTUALLY think ”swiss made” means anything today
lol

>>15816691
its not the swiss made, that has little value
its the 'swiss parts'
then again they didnt say how much % is swiss parts

>>15816665
Ok I cut it and heated it. It's a little less fidgety but still sucks.

>>15816660
That doesnt look that bad desu. Must because it's a chrono

>>15816685
How the fuck would it be anything else but a waste of money if you've never heard of the brand?

>>15816708
maybe you can try a nasa strap
it would be very easy to put on.

I swear to god if I see another microbrand with their entire catalog listed as ”limited edition” and ”sold out” im going to be slightly inconvenienced and mildly upset.

>>15816719
There was time where you had never heard of patek Philippe. Obviously this is not the same case but your statement is retarded

>>15816723
>why yes I have autism, how could you tell?

>>15816725

>>15816719
cwc is well known in the milspec community
or rather they dickride their milspec origin very hard

there are many microbrands that nobody has heard of
but if the value proposition is good then its not a waste of money
there are even more 'we only make 20 watches a year" independents that go under the radar
but for those the usual buyers dont even care about the cost

>>15816733
its perfect for the f91w.

>>15816741
Dude literally the only point of a watch is that people have heard of it or if it's some obscure shit that it costs a lot more than the known shit.

>>15816750
>the only point of a watch is that people have heard of it
>brand chasing

actually for many hardcore collectors the more obscure and rare a watch is the more value it has
a lot of obscure stuff arent really expensive too, btw.

nobody is going to wet themselves over a collection of the 'TOP 10 WATCHES UNDER $5000'. It'll actually be very boring to look at.

>>15816580
You're the one who posted a basic field watch, the ugly step sister of watch types.

>>15816723
>>15816733
i have an autism strap on my 5600, can recommend

>>15816760
> the ugly step sister of watch types
that would be divers
chunky, fat, overcompensating, unimaginative

>the virgin field watch vs the chad diver

>>15816572
You can still find decent deals on the Tudor Date Day through zenmarket.

Tudor could make a killing if they followed the footsteps of the BB58 with other models. (i.e. Prince Ranger in the style of a 1016 or revamping the dates and datedays). Based on the Tudor royal, it looks like Rolex doesn’t want to lose sales.

>>15816769
(cont)
field watch wearers are hidden sensitive poets with a beat up car and a old guitar

my ideal bf would be wearing a field watch like the alpinist or something like that

he would have strong manly arms and a ticklish scruffy beard and big sexy feet

>>15816917
I just went for the grail and was happy

For work, I wear a dark grey polo and either khakis with brown leather shoes or black slacks with black leather/sneaker shoes. I am a supervisor for a maintenance department, so sometimes I have to dive into manual labor (but not around moving machinery) to make ends meet. What kind of watch should I wear?

I was thinking pic related with a steel bracelet. I have no danger of getting snagged and degloved, but it should stand up to some beating if need be.

What do you think?

We live in an age where you're confronted by so many sources of true time (phones, computers, etc.) that I honestly don't care about movement that much any more.

>>15817040
thanks anons I plan to wear it anyways but I was curious as to what people who wear watches think

>>15817032
It's not a 'good' watch, for watch enthusiast standards, but for a non watch enthusiast, it's fine. Not ugly or anything, and Fossil is a decent brand for fashion watches.

>>15817040
>its not huge or gaudy
what the fuck watch are looking at

>>15817051
the watch still fits and design wise for a fossil its already scoring very well

most fossils arent like this

>>15816940
Any tips on this? I don't have any idea what watch style is correct etiquette for this.

>>15816940
Rolex Explorer, DateJust, OP, or Sub.

they could have LITERALLY went on fivver to get someone to design a new marlin logo
its not even expensive or hard

fuck you and your gay bezels

>>15817121

what the fuck

>>15817123
Because it wasn't a quartz watch anon.

>>15817126
o-oh.
Didn't know those existed. Thats interesting.

Im thinking of getting a used GS online. Is there anything I should be particularly looking for?

The one im looking at is a Japanese seller with good reputation and has clear photos showing the marks and scatches on the bracelet and body.

Also how much less than retail would you consider buying a used watch? Most GS are in the 15-20% range of a haggled down retail price.

>>15817108

I have my <FOX FIRE> G-Shock on again.

>>15817193

>>15817179
How old are you?

>>15817129
depends on what movement model.
you'll likely be paying 15-20 percent less for a second hand spring drive. If it's a 36'000 it'll likely be pretty pricey and they don't come up for sale very often.
The more standard 9s55/65 movement you can get probably 40 percent off if not more depending on condition.
Case condition would be my no.1 concern. Bracelets are very expensive to buy from Seiko if you decide you want one later and you (no shit) have to give it to them to ship back to Japan to put it on for you so you better make sure theres enough links for your wrist size.

Good luck tho, theres deals to be had.

>>15817216
40 this year, still can't afford shit.

>>15817219
maybe if you didn't waste your life whining like a little bitch on the internet you could afford nice things.

>>15816641
This is just terrible, every fag thinks it is OK because a fictional character wore it for 2 seconds by chance. No, nigger, you are not James Bond with a 47mm coat of arms sized panerai that doesnt even slip under the cuff. Such a shit trend, like everyone wore skeleton watches and quirky socks.

Been thinking about maybe switching out the metal G-Shock. Somebody on here recommended it weeks ago and I've worn it a couple times since then and I think they're right. The only issue is it's the only G-Shock negative display I've seen that you can actually read in just about any light without using the backlight.

>>15817193
Are you planning on replacing the strap and case?
7A28 today, my favourite.

>>15817365
the 5600 models with the negative aren't too bad but you right they're not as good

>>15817365
Nice Gagarin watch - where did you get it from?

>>15817373
Ordered it from Drop, still haven't received it but I added it to the image anyways. I'm hoping next year (supposedly they release these commemorate editions yearly?) they do a 40mm version with that same color scheme on the dial but with the 2609 hand-wind movement. I like these colors and I prefer hand-wind, but the 33mm is likely too small for me.

>>15817377
Thanks for sharing - was the 33mm the style of the original?

>>15817381
Yeah, the one Yuri Gagarin was wearing was 33mm, I want to say this is the first year that they did a fully "historically accurate" version at that original size.

One day when I'm rich.

>>15817365
Why a Swatch? What's the point?

>>15817398
For me it's just nostalgia. I was a 90s kid and Swatch were so popular back then. I have one other that was a re-release of an 80s or 90s version that I don't really wear but I had to have it. This one I do wear from time to time, especially if I'm just out day-drinking or something.

Help me find the best watch with an integrated bracelet under 1,000 USD, preferably as thin as possible.

>>15817368
Yeah, I have a replacement on the way.
I also have a 7a28, those movements are accurate as fuck.

Quirky shitters is a great way to put my collection right now. I will never spend 1000$ or more on a glorified shitter Swatch ETA clone #12312415 like Rado or Tissot. I instead spend 300$ max per watch but buy really quirky shitters like Vostok or simply good tools like casio. When I can afford it, I'll buy a Sub, a Vacheron but nothing less. I will gift the shitters to my nephews.

>>15817424
Thanks, I'm not digging the woody dial but thats a very enticing price.

>>15817434
Yeah for 100€ you almost can't go wrong, but I know what you mean. I actually really like that dial and pic related shows how woody it can get but in many light conditions it just looks black.

>>15817439
>sapphire

>>15817405
It's pretty amazing, I last set mine when the clocks went back two months ago in which time it's gained 4 seconds. Not bad for an almost 40 year old quartz, a shame that quartz chronos have never really tried to better the first one ever.

What's the difference between 5000 and the regular 5600?

>>15817466
The 5000 has a metal inner case and screwback, also the resin used for the bezel and bracelet is slightly more comfortable.

>>15817464
I love how every revolutionary or anti-establishment guy still had a Rolex.

>>15817462
Quartz is best, but the blacked is shit.

>>15817472
If I want the titanium replacement case, which one do I want?

>>15817474
It's almost like they were all full of shit, like Rolex

>>15817474
Rolex was just a toolwatch back then, not a luxury thing,everybody could buy them, like buying a Seiko alpinist nowadays or even a cheaper watch.

>>15817218
Yeah im after a spring drive. SBGA301 or 203

As long as I know 15-20% is a good price im happy. Ive always heard that GS drop in price a lot so I didnt know if I was looking in the right places. I suppose compared to full retail price these used prices are really good deals.

>>15817474
That's because they were all someones bankroll.

>>15817474
Relatively speaking it wanst that expensive. Every commie college student has a 1k cellphone

The 5600, they migt be making steel cases for the 5000 but i don't think they are making titanium ones.

I will gift myself a Datejust for Christmas next year.

They were far more affordable but still kind of expensive by normal standards, like a months salary. Still today 2k is a lot to spend on a watch for most people.

>>15817525
10k is a monthly salary for a white man wtf you're talking about

>>15817529
tfw monthly salary is only 4.2k

>>15817523
That actually looks kind of cool.

>>15817525
Yes, they were ''expensive'' but affordable for the average person. Nowadays if you spend that same amount of money,watch snobs will tell you that they are shitters and that you need to upgrade.

>>15817537
Here the average is about 2000eur/month and most people are on the lower side with 1.200-1500.

is there anything more annoying than a pure auto?

my seiko5 dies so quickly after not being worn

>>15817546
Nope, bought one auto only Seiko and have only bought handwindable or quartz since. Also not having hacking is annoying too.

>>15817529

$500 here but I can't get a job anyway.

>>15817325
We don't do everything for the sake of women anon

>>15817556
based gaybro.

>>15817557
I'm straight but what the anon said was ridiculous.
Women don't care about fishing rods doesn't mean we won't get one for our hobby

>>15817554
you can sorta hack it, if you move the time backwards a bit the seconds hand will stop moving

i'll likely get a nh36 and change the movement

>>15817325
who are you and why should I care

What bezel to get if i'm going to get the classic blue scuba dude vostok? Probably gonna get the 420 case but might go one of the more pillowy ones.

>>15817615
I'd personally advise against getting the blue scuba dude, it's more of a teal colour that doesn't really go with anything.

>>15817628
not him but nah teal is kino
teal, red, green
pure kino colours
who cares about matching
its a vostok anyway

>>15817615
>>15817628
I eventually changed the dial to a more metallic blue that matches the Vostok blue bezel. The 420 case is a great choice if you want a smaller sized diver.

>>15817628
What about the Admiral Kuznetsov dial? Russias greatest smoke machine/aircraft carrier.

somebody dissuade me

$330 after discount code

>>15817658
do you actually love it or is it because you feel it's cheap and you're caught up in the xmas hype of buying shit ?

>>15817659
more of the latter + its a salmon dial with handwinding + LIMITED EDITION NOOO

dont see that every day

>>15817660
I'm not big into the Vario hype. I see the appeal of Salmon dial watches although I doubt I'd ware one.

There are some vintage Laco with Salmon dials they seem to pop up around the $400 mark which I think look better. It depends if you're after that more art deco style. the laco is a lot rarer though

>>15817365
you don't own any of these
fuck off

>>15817658
their watches seem okay but at the same time its that reproduced vintage vibe that comes over tacky, and their logo isnt helping the matter.
are you sure this is what you want?

>>15817676
>ware
>>15817688
>>15817676
hmmm i guess im still undecided
guess ill mull over it
thanks for the laco recommendation
there was this limited edition baltic which was $650 but now sells for like $1500
imagine paying that for a seagull st19
might as well try and look for a sarb037

How much do you think Omega is going to charge for the refreshed Speedmaster? I think it's gonna go up to $10k since they already want $6k+ for basic 3 handers with the Master chronometer movement

>>15817173
It's cute, condoms or bracelet version?
I think that looks better on rubbers.

>>15817697

I never realized that song is about spree shooting before. columbine? or just generally?

>>15817410
It's sad how every collection always turns into the same thing once the collector turns 25 or so.

>>15816904
it's not for me but it's pretty cool looking

>>15817658
I have one of the older Varios and these are my thoughts on this watch. tl;dr if you like it, I think you should get it. It's pretty unique and it's not just a homage, it has its own style.
>The strap it comes with is really nice. I think I read on their site somewhere that it's a "no break-in needed strap" and it's true, it's supple although not too much and it's even got that nice expensive leather smell, all the stitching is even. There is a branded buckle, the strap tapers heavily which is a nice luxury touch, and it's a good thickness, not too thin but not too thick. They started as a strap company and it's a great strap.
>I mostly wear divers so maybe I have just lost perspective but even though it's 11mm thick it feels slightly thicker than that.
>The watch is very readable because the polished hands catch light at any angle but dead on and it looks great. And then when you're looking right at it it's obviously good.
>The watch is actually balanced enough to wear daily. It has these nice vertically brushed sides that tone it down. Also it has drilled lugs which is very nice at the microshitter price point.
>The handwound Miyota movement they use is discontinued IIRC and if it's a display caseback it's rather pretty. They usually gild it but not always due to availability. I don't know if this will affect servicing. The closed caseback auto versions are nicely done but I hear people complain the etching is not as deep as it could be.
>The case is really cool, every part of the watch leans hard into the art deco theme. The case has angular art deco elements and feels like it's made of sections, especially the lugs. The hour hand is supposed to look like the Empire State Building as well.
>They ship using DHL which is very fast if you live in a major city, DHL picked up the package next business day and I had it 4 days after ordering.
I'm considering getting another one but I've spent a lot more money this year than I wanted to.

is there a /wt/ discord?

>>15817029
this is nice. there was an anon here who did this dial mod. maybe this is anon's side hustle. the other ones suck though.

>>15816937
>grail
>doesn't have antireflective coating

>>15817727
The leather smell on leather is just tannins and such

>>15816590
isn't the red string for some jewish pedo kabala cult?

>>15817121
the two-tone strap works with the case decorations pretty well, they should still offer some strap styles like that

i took some boner pills and now i'm wearing my g shock on my THROBBING dick

>>15817368
Vintage quartz chronographs are so underrated and so overpriced.

>>15817392
really nice.
would this even be considered a skeleton?

>>15817523
>this mall shitter is considered tasteful and elite in Russia
oh russia, never change.

>>15817658
I have there trench coming, I was thinking of picking the empire up too in salmon, I just wish it was thinner.

Stainless steel sports watches are dumb.

Stop fucking buying them.

Buy literally ANYTHING else.

Got this Tourneau GMT with an ETA movement recently.

Will have to get the movement serviced though and plan on switching out the strap for a Hirsch carbon style with red stitching.

>>15817798
hmm.. so if stainless steel sports is dumb... i should buy plastic quartz dress watches! :)

What would you think about a guy who has Breitling, Tudor, Seiko, and Casio, but no Rolex?

Seiko and Casio don't count towards the collection.
Breitling and Tudor are great as long as they are popular models.
A Rolex would really complete the collection

>>15817658
It looks straight out of bioshock, up to you if that is a good or bad thing.

>>15817798
Seethe harder

>>15817825
>Seiko and Casio don't count towards the collection.
there are normal non GS seikos that cost $8000
>Breitling and Tudor are great as long as they are popular models.
>popular = good

lame take

>>15817825
>Seiko and Casio don't count towards the collection.

Imagine being a watch snob and leaving out the two biggest watch houses.

>>15817833
If you buy a Breitling, it would be a complete waste to buy anything but a Navitimer. For Tudor, you have some exciting models that aren't that popular like the North Flag and Advisor, but the rest of their lineup is forgettable trash (the Royal is a complete joke).

>>15817836

>>15817850
Cuck watch. Cuck cuck cuck gb2 reddit lmao

>>15817846
what about the breitling superocean?

>>15817856
fuck off

I’m sorry, I just wanted to fit in. Calling you a cuck was uncalled for and I promise to do better. Now I’m going to buy 20+ Casios under $30 and post them on /wt/ threads

Merry belated Christmas

>>15817750
the watch I sold to buy this had AR coating on the outer side of saphire. completley negates the purpose of scratchproof crystal

>>15817860
why is there a metal thing down the middle of each index?

>>15817867
Just remove the out AR coating

>>15817878
How?

>>15817878
Yeah because that's what I need to be doing is altering my $7000 watch right out the box

>>15817881
Oh it's you, the avatarfag who is not interested in actually discussing anything
Luckily you post with an avatar so it's easy to disregard everything you say

>>15817880
Polish it just make off the rest of the case

>>15817881
Don't remove it right out of the box then, wear it until the outer AR has become fucked up and then remove it. fuck you would think that would be obvious

>>15817886
Mask off*

>>15817886
the shitty AR coating scratched within a week of wearing it. vs this 14 year old rolex with a perfect crystal

>>15817884
what do you actually want to discuss? this is all shitposting at the end of the day, no one has tried to have a legit discussion besides a handful of anons I have happily engaged with. Fag

>>15817891
I'm not sure what your point is. I'm not defending outer AR coating just saying it's hardly a reason to get rid of a watch if you like it.

a 14 year Rolex with a perfect crystal =/= a perfect 14 year old crystal . I'm assuming it's been serviced in that time. Also most sapphires stand up pretty well

>>15817895
What are your thoughts on mine, as an Explorer owner?

ordered a new watch yesterday, can't wait to show it my frens in this thread

>>15817912
Very based

>>15817907
Not him but should have got the 36 anon.

>>15817916
based fren

>>15817907
looks like a shitty tudor to me, also bad choice in size

>>15817907
explorer owner -

I like the tudor but the spacing is nicer on the 36mm version. Same reason i went 36 explorer to the new version.

Is there a nice, digital book which I can find in this vein?

What types of watches work best with an engineer bracelet? Just divers?

>>15817939
Yes since that's a bracelet with a lot of presence so it will look out of place on anything but a large and masculine watch

Has a cute girl ever even noticed the watches you guys nerd out over?

>>15817958
yes, but I was already on a date with her.

>>15817958
I've owned and worn dozens of watches over 3 decades and in all that time a woman has complimented my watch twice and both times it was a Seiko Monster

>>15817958
>dating girls in 2020

>>15817958
Yes. At work almost all the women know I'm into watches and comment often on the ones I wear. Apart from one guy in sales no one else has ever said a thing. Outside of work no one but I have noticed a few looks from both.

>>15817917
>>15817927
>>15817930
Hm, I debated on the 36 and the 41, and to me, the 41 face actually looked better to me. Although I tend to go towards larger rather than smaller case sizes. I think 39 probably would've been perfect

>top is $8,000~
>bottom is $50 + $15-$30 for a nice steel bracelet
Can someone explain this to me? What makes a watch that looks so plain worth that much?

>>15817998

>>15817976
Should have got a dressier 556 or a used aqua terra

>>15818001

>>15817907
41 looks much better than the 36.

The 19mm lugs and overcrowded dial of the 36 make it look really small.

>>15817032
You look young, the watch fits you and is more interesting than all these b&w luxurious shitters

>noooo you can’t pay a premium for something that will last your lifetime, your child’s lifetime, and possibly your grandchild’s lifetime.

glad you saved some money on your casio lol.

>>15818014
your child will throw you in a nursing home and sell your rolex for drugs

>>15818014
Natalism is racism with plausible deniability. Who gives a shit about "muh legacy", especially for watches? You're likely an incel too lmao

>>15817998
Can't say I disagree. Rolex might not be the ones with the most brand tax but they're certainly up there. Buy a tudor black bay instead, it's as close as you can get nowadays to a sub with the brand tax removed.

>>15818014
>something that will last your lifetime, your child’s lifetime, and possibly your grandchild’s lifetime.
yes but
>please send for service every 7 years oh btw it costs hundreds of dollars

Beautiful OP, I love the mountain dew colored accents on the blue dial. Mine is a 36 because I'm a manlet with skinny wrists.

>>15818026
If you can afford a Rolex, you can afford to not live around niggers. My neighbors are black but no niggers in the area.

>>15818050
Gorgeous Seamaster, much better looking and more original than a modern Submariner honestly. I'm finally a non-poor so this is my first "nice" watch. Omega will definitely be my next one (for variety), maybe an Aqua Terra.
