I'm tempted to get the salmon dial

1st for 70s Seiko LM/KS/GS

>>15846742
not bad, certainly a lot better looking than most other shitters

>>15846760

>>15846742
I kind of want one of the trench watches now

How do you call these types of watches? Analog-digital or "anadigi"? The latter is a common way to say it in Portuguese, not sure about how it is in english.

What bracelet would work better on this watch? Any recommend Milanese bracelets?

>>15846742
Very good. Congrats.

>>15846760
>>15846770
What are these models

Help me find a better chrono than this. Budget of $2k.
Must have: lume
Nice to have: proper steel bracelet (no mesh option)

>>15846868
What's wrong with that one?

>>15846747
linen dial is so choice but I'm really annoyed by roman numerals.
I'm torn.

>>15846876
Nothing other than the lack of a nice bracelet option and lugs that are a bit too long. I need to cross-shop or else I will just feel burned if something better comes along.

>>15846779
I've heard it called anadigi here.
I presume it's correct in English but if not the meaning is perfectly understood.
t. anglo

>>15846877
Roman numerals are part of of the watchmaking tradition, like it or not. I personally think they are very elegant.

>>15846868
Second hand Orfina or Speedmaster (Reduced or 7750)?

>>15846894
Reduced has been climbing and it's got some weird movement

>>15846800
Brown leather IMO, milanese could look alright.

>>15846747
Very nice.

(Reposting my Master Hometime)

>>15846899
Almost bought one lasta week for 1900€. Movement is not weird at all, a ETA2894 with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module.

>>15846899
Also, you can find a Valjoux 7750 Soeedmaster Automatic too, if you dont like the Reduced.

>>15846899
True. 3 years ago you could get one for 1200€ in good condition. Now they go for 2000€ at least. I wonder where the hype came from.

>>15846868
I really like this one, you can cop them for well under 2k on the used market, but it has fixed bars so you can only wear it on a nato strap.

Just ordered a Seiko sarb035 from Amazon.
Is it a meme watch and what straps would recommend for it?

>>15846941
It is a meme watch but it's a very good watch. I'd get a nice brown and black leather strap with it. Between those 2 and the bracelet it can dress up or down for any occasion

>>15846941
Its a meme, but its a good everyday beater. Strap depends on the environment, in general any leather Hirsch will do if you dont need something more waterproof.

>>15846802
thanks
>>15846772
these are really interesting but i'm not exactly sure what they are going for with them
>>15846755
yeah i really love the build and design for the price
>>15846744
i was even thinking about the green one because it's such a rare light green color on a watch but I think the white one is just a bit more classy and fits better for everyday wear. Salmon dial is pretty unique as well

>>15846770
This is incredibly hot.

>>15846966
They're all tempting. The baby blue with blue hands is nice. The green is a unique tea shade and soothing to look at but it's my least favorite because I think the blued hands clash with it. I think black or gold hands would have been perfect. The salmon and winter dials are really something special and I can't decide.

Rate the Linden by the Visitor Watch Company
$580 with a miyota 9000 series movement

Thinking of starting my wristlet watch collection. Am a big fan of versatile Explorer-y watches. Was considering a Black Bay 36 (yeah yeah ETA I know, still modified to +-2 seconds a day) and a GS SBGX261. Any other <$3000 options I should consider?

>>15846937
>it has fixed bars so you can only wear it on a nato strap.
You can buy open ended watch straps. You fit them over the lugs and then glue them down yourself. As long as you don't mind not being able to change straps regularly they work great

>>15847068

>>15847069
How small is your wrist, if it's actually 6 inches you should know the clasp on the BB36 is kind of long, gets in the way of the bracelet fitting tightly to your wrist.
This guy covers it at about 3:30 in this video
https://youtube.com/watch?v=VHlsqfICITk

Now that the budget luxury watch i.e. Speedy is out of my reach too and I didn't get one when it was 3 times less expensive, I decided to say fuck it and stay in my poorfag league and whoever I notice has a $5k+ watch I'll just make my mission to fuck their life up in whatever way I can.

>>15847069
Stowa Marine 36mm
Sinn 556i (38mm)
Nomos Tangente (35mm)

>>15847068
>>15847076
Need to be more refined. The hour markers could be a bit smaller/slimmer or have thicker metal edge. It easily become too much. It's a problem for most microbrands.

Why the fuck doesn't IWC make a cheap 36mm pilot

>>15847104
How about this one?

>>15847108
>cheap

You were already forcing it at 36mm

>>15847110
It looks very different. Kind of cool but not my thing

>>15847108
There are two dozen brands that make affordable 36mm pilots watches. Half of them are probably cheaper & better than IWC.

>>15847118
Name them pls

>>15847110
Yes, the bigger case helps balance it out. Minute hand is way too big. Like the idea, but a bit out of place on a diver.

>>15846891
Honestly this would be the perfect watch without the hobnail bezel. That said, even with it, it’s damn close to the best.

>>15846742
>>15847110

What’s wrong with contemporary watch design? They look goofy af.

>>15847132
I think it adds character to the design. Would you have preferred a DW Gier plain bezel instead?

>>15847135
vario does art deco and i think they do it pretty well actually

>>15847110
Those hands are absolutely horrendous.

>>15847140
Well, it wouldn’t look that bland, but maybe I’ll think it over now that you point it out. The modern calatrava design is really elegant and I love it (5196 and 5227 for different reasons), but I would love something with that case with a simple Roman dial (and circular seconds marker rather than calatrava-cross seconds)

Patek’s basic calatravas of all generations are pretty spectacular though. It’s when you get to complications they either do something really unique and interesting (e.g. 5059 seen here, a watch that is ugly on first glance and then becomes beautiful), or they empty their complication balls haphazardly all over the dial and it looks ass.

>>15847140
When you get down to that level of simplicity, it takes a trained eye or an autismal watchfag to be able to tell the difference. A supple case, an interesting crown, actually blued hands, enamel dial, well dritributed proportions of secondary things like a seconds hand or a date window?

A PP Calatrava or Patrimony might strike the eye of an unknowing normo, but could you convince them the difference of several (hundreds) of thousands in comparison to the DW?

tl;dr wear the watches YOU like

This should be a staple in the WT first post.

>>15847118
>two dozen affordable 36mm pilots
Wow, you could have just talked shit, but you went above and beyond with nothing to show for it. Get a thousand cuts, then fall in a septic tank.
Name 5, you worthless waste of oxygen.

>>15846888
Well, I'll use "analog-digital" from now on, it seems more adequate. It is also good to know other people call it anadigi too, though. Thank you and checked.

>>15847135
>>15847153
I think the hands are supposed to be styled after fountain pens. It's a bit much for me but i don't actually hate it.

I want to rant. Sry.
I sent back my bulova watch to have it repaired but apparently the watch but not the box got stolen... Fml

>>15847206
Are you Italian?

>>15847207
Maybe, maybe not , why?

>>15847172
Stowa, Archimedes, Laco, Oris big crown pointer date, depending on your definition of pilot the hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical and the cwc mellor 72.

>>15847206
LMFAO
Imagine living in a shit country where you can't service it next door, holy fuck how shit is your economy that you can't just bring it to a proper AD.

At least it's a cheap shitter because you can't afford anything good ROFL

It's smaller, automatic and the movement can be repaired by watchmakers, although I think it can be costly.

>>15847215
>LMFAO
>ROFL
>reddit spacing

>>15846891
>Roman numerals are part of of the watchmaking tradition, like it or not
yeah, I know. even casuals know that. what I'm saying is that 2, 3, or 4 characters to express a single numeral is stupid, and it clutters up the space and looks bad.
I'm not wild about arabic numerals at every index but it's better than roman. as a person with a functioning brain, I know which number goes where. all I need for indices are batons or dots or something.

>>15847262
Apparently the chronograph module is bit of a bitch to service.

>>15847068
looks cool but "visitor" is a female euphemism for menses. hard pass.

>>15847262
I don't like how due to the way the chrono is piggybacking the pushers and crown are not on the same plane. Seems retarded to me although I have talked to some people who find it charming. They must be the extreme minority though

let's get a party going

>>15846868
I can’t

I need a smaller watch that i can abuse the shit out of and that is also small on the wrist so it does not get stuck to shit when i shove my hand down a pipe
I dont know anything bout watches

Anyone know this brand?

>>15847085
Honestly with the BB36 it might be considered a minor sin but I’d probably wear it on strap to give it more of a field watch-esque feel.

>>15847359
this is an absolute classic and will serve you forever

Nvm found it cheap too thanks

Wish there was a way to "stick it to the man" that didn't cost more than the actual overpriced "luxury" watches. Wouldn't it be great if the culture was still such that you could just wear thrift shop shit and army surplus, and be considered cool for being an alternative outsider? Now everything has been swallowed and regurgitated by the system and you have to buy extremely expensive clothing items and accessories "inspired by" army surplus and hobo clothes and the only respectful position is one of a LARPer who only roleplays being outside society.

why do I want one despite being a wristlet who'll never be able to wear it?

>>15847474
Why is a quartz shitter so goddamn expensive?
>>15847496
There's a version that's only 44 though.

>>15847280
Yes, from what I have read, usually they slap a new module instead of repairing since the price is not that high compared to a proper repair, that's why its easier.

>>15847496
I wear G-shocks despite being a wristlet and nobody notices.

Don't let your dreams be dreams.

>>15847496

it’s only 43mm, not too bad for a sports watch

>>15847507

it’s pretty well built, feels solid and the super quartz is very accurate. i agree though the msrp for it is very high. luckily i found it for under $3k, which is in line with grand seiko 9F quartz watches!

>>15847520
>luckily i found it for under $3k
Dude it's a quartz.

Edifice with a billion more complications costs $300. There's literally not one single reason why this should cost 10 times as much.

Quartz.

>>15847524

it’s thermo-compensated quartz, accurate to 10 seconds per year, like GS’s 9F. pretty cool!

This is how Gigachad has been found to wear his G-Shock.
>The outer shell? You mean that part of the packaging?
>The strap needs to be 16mm? I don't know bro I put in a 18mm.

>>15847524
You're gonna lose your shit when you'll find out about higher end quartz watches.

That Breitling really does look like an Aliexpress shitter from afar, though.

>>15847536
Congrats, it looks like an uglier F91W.

>>15847537
>You're gonna lose your shit when you'll find out about higher end quartz watches.
Yah brah whoeva not ok wif sumfin dun no aboot sumfin he jus ignan' bruh Zyzzus 4 lyfe front it til u won'd it

>>15847508
Also the chrono modules dont have a jumping minute counter iirc. Which is mega lame

My dad passed away and left me pic related. I like the form factor but I'm not a fan of the leather strap. I'd like something more sporty but I'm not shure it'll work with this watch. Or maybe a gold metallic strap? What do you lads think?

diamond like coating

>>15847554
>Tossit
Should've buried him with it.

>>15847554
Condolences. If you want to dress it down you could try a two stitch leather strap, a perlon, or maybe even rubber. Bracelets are harder to find if they didnt come with the watch. Maybe milanese? More pictures would help.

It’s interesting how instead of using a lume material to make the dial they made it out of a yellow plastic and applied lume on top of it. Also the chapter ring isn’t lumed.

IT'S UP!

https://youtu.be/D7DcLxJPh_8

>>15847554
Sorry for your loss.
Maybe try a rubber or silicone strap?

Depending on the dimensions, you could also maybe find a metal bracelet with decently fitting endlinks.

>>15847389
>>15847384
ROFaiL

>>15847549
That's a dealbreaker on a chrono. IIRC this shitter that youtubers were trying to peddle has that flaw too.

>>15847520
Is much rather have one of these. This is my favourite watch under £3000.

>>15847565
That dude has a really cucky taste in watches, I just can't follow his shit. I mean, it's actually decently produced but he's just this weird skinny nerd, he looks like an old little boy and most of the watches on his channel are reddit-tier "first office job" watches and their expensive variants, I don't know.

>>15847572
I agree with you but he has a smoking hot gf, maybe she has a thing for twinks

>>15847571

i’ve owned that model as well anon, i enjoyed it quite a bit and highly recommend it!

>>15847563
Thanks for the tips. I like the look of the perlons, I'll look into that.

>>15847580
Np breh, eulit makes the best ones btw

>>15847575
His GF waxes her arms so fuck her.

>>15846966
I think they're going for the converted trench watch look, unless that isn't what you mean.

>>15847636
I think Vario stayed pretty true to the look too. Especially since you can get it in 37mm.

Any piss and shit dials sell for 100k plus at auction recently?

Is JLC a goord brand?
I'm new to watches.

>>15847770

Yes, they have been called a watchmakers watch brand, due to how highly respected they are in the industry for their history and quality.

Their Master Control Calendar Chronograph is legitimately one of the best watches you can get for the money. Patek and others would easily charge twice what JLC does for that type of watch.

>>15847770
They are good and have one of the most iconic watches ever made, the Reverso.

>>15847776
yeah i would buy one over an omega any day

>>15846718
>"Suggest a watch for me."
> Your budget
$300
>Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Dress I guess — something sleek, not flashy but not super cheap looking.
>Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
I don’t want to wind it up, I have a pocket watch for that. Otherwise, surprise me.
>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Needs an easily reset, somewhat quiet alarm. I’m a therapist and need to keep timing to wrap up sessions with clients.
>Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
>Wrist size
About 7” around, maybe a little less

>>15847804
>Alarm
Take your pick of g-shocks nit many other options for alarms, maybe some citizen chronographs that have an alarm setting but alarms on analog watches are inaccurate, typically ± 5 minutes of what time you set them for.

>>15847655
>>15846772
This will be the new Reddit watch. It will supplant the green Seiko Alpinists and the Hamilton Khaki field mechanicals on OD green NATO straps.

>>15847830
Trench watch on nylon is blasphemy, leather only.

>>15847830
Vario is popular on Reddit? This is news to me.

>>15847830
Despite those being Reddit watches, they and this are good watches. I can afford 10-100x more expensive but I’ve considered pulling the trigger simply to have a cool alternate or two

The Reddit watch I hate though are the Grand Seiko Snowflake (for richer redditors, most seem to be 18), a decent idea ruined by a mediocre date window and that awful power reserve. Plus the sharpness against snow doesn’t entirely work. The dial seems beautiful but the design around it just ruins the show

>>15847828
Found this on Amazon. Is it worth getting one of their more expensive models or are the digital ones from them all function equally well?

I want one.

>>15847804
This Casio has two alarm functions, one which alarms for 20 seconds (or until stopped) at a preset time and a function which beeps once at every hour. I know you want a dress watch, but I find this Casio to be very low profile and appropriate in all situations, except for special events. I'll keep looking for something better, though.

>>15847873
That's a really great model, you could upgrade to the 5610 for solar power and radio time sync. But the battery in the one you posted will last for 5 plus years. The countdown function works really well and it should serve your needs well.

>>15847887
Actually the 5600 (the one you posted) is better because you can view the countdown clock and thr current time on the same screen. Get that.
The countdown timer will store whatever you set it to so say you have hour sessions, at the beginning of the session you just start the countdown timer and it will beep after an hour. You can also store up to 5 different alarm times.
>>15847873

>>15847885
>>15847804
Oh, this would be perfect. It has a countdown timer AND 5 seperate alarms you can set, and since it comes in silver with a bracelet it would fit a more professional wardrobe.

>>15847873
Yep can’t go wrong I got the gw 5000 because I’m autistic and want a g shock that’s actually made in Japan

>>15847896
>>15847887
>>15847885

Thanks all, I’m going to look over all these in a little more depth

>>15847770
JLC is essentially above reproach. Pretty much every top watch brand either uses JLC movements or has used them in the past. They have iconic models in the Master series and Reverso, make extremely complicated high end pieces, and they are not a victim of their own success. Their prices have stayed fairly reasonable compared to Patek, Vacheron and Rolex raising their prices like there’s no tomorrow (with the exception of the Master Ultra Thin, which has gotten considerably more expensive). Perhaps best of all you won’t have to suck the dick of some faggot egomaniac AD to get a watch.

Had to cut this NATO into a single pass because the samurai sat awkwardly, but I still don't think it looks better than the bracelet.
What do anons suggest for flieger straps? The factory straps from Laco aren't bad, but I kinda want a darker brown/black.

>>15847858
I like the power reserve because it reminds me of a little snow angel, but I agree about the date.

I'm not enjoying the bracelet on my Casio Duro. Should I get a NATO strap or would that make it sit up too tall on my wrist?

>>15846596
>believing manufacturer's specs
>implying I was only talking about battery failure and not module

>>15847110
>>15847068
looks different
i actually like the aesthetic of the lume glops

Just preordered this cool thing. It used a seiko mecho-quartz movement. I love retro looking '70s racing and pilot chronos. Cushion case is even better. Thoughts?

>>15846772

I've been looking at those Vario watches a lot recently. Very nice. I also love the Empire line with their Art Deco designs. Can't decide between the green or the salmon dial.

>>15847830
nothing will top the alpinist because its a seiko

and it comes with a nerdy but totally near useless compass. It just hits all the points of what a watchgeek would be into. And its not expensive at all. SARB017 Alpinist will always be the king of meme watches.

>>15846742
Blue plastic hands always bother me

>>15848122
>plastic

>>15848181

How do you get rid of the grease, dust and dead skin cells from in between each gem?

>>15846772
Which version do you think /wt/?

>>15848197
One of the two on the left

How come i don't ver see people wearing this type of elastc bracelet? It looks like It should be comfy. I only see these bracelets in movies from a few decades ago.

>>15848197
The red 12 version.

>>15848203
too based, not chad enough to get past the old man factor
nips hairs sometimes but not as bad as say the cheap Casio metal bands

>>15848197

I would get the orange numbers with the cream dial and brass case upgrade myself

>>15846779
In the UK these are are called "Dual Display" watches.

>>15848203
Expanding bracelets are notorious for pinching hairs. That and it has a reputation for being a grandpa tier bracelet.

>>15848194
Dip in warm soapy water and then rinse just like any other watch.

>>15848203
The elasticity wears off so they become loose and like >>15848214 says they are prone to hair pinching.

>>15848223
>>15848214
>>15848211
i think ill get one is spite of the hair pinching to see if i like it. i like the sleaze feel to them

Had to scratch the itch again, new vintage piece on the way from Japan boys

Thoughts on the blue dial aqua terra 38mm?

>>15848197
Top right is most readable imo

>>15847881

>>15848234
What's there to say? It's a solid and reliable daily wear steel bracelet watch.

Where can I find a Black Bay 58 in stock?

Everywhere is 3-6 month wait and they are serving their loyal customers first.

>>15848253

>>15848258

>>15848279

>>15848274

>>15848234
Cute, small and chubby

>>15847520
>>15847532
The movement itself costs around 200, with Breitling getting them wholesale, I presume much less. That watch has zero reason costing 3-4k, but if you are fine with that, hey.

>>15847967
rubber, maybe a fancy color that matches the seconds

i want more casio shitters recommend me some neat ones for about 30usd

My PP hard but fuuuuuuck dropping 700 on a watch made entirely in china, then "assembled" in france. The details are sexy as shit, but I just cannot do it, lads.

>>15848395
What do you have against the French, anon?

>>15848395

>>15848248

>>15848395

>>15848234
Omega nailed the sporty/dressy look with this one, it has the right amount of quirkiness.
But I prefer the black version. And I'm usually a blue dial watch guy.

Is there a skeleton watch that doesn't have literally invisible, 0.5mm wide non-lumed hands?

finally got it back from service

>>15848431
Dunno about skeletonized ones but this openworked Zenith seeoms fine with its lumed hands and indices

>>15848409
there are many, many watches using the st19 movement as its the only affordable mechanical chronograph available for purchase

this one is like $250 or so

>>15848440
What about design wise

>>15848439
Yeah, I really like this one. Looks like it's time to start saving

>>15848445
nothing quite like that sector dial design, at least ive not seen one yet

this one is like $380

there's one that came abit close, the mercer lexington, but it seems like that brand is now defunct or website not working. The price isnt low enough to be considered
the baltic looks really good so thats how they can justify their price i guess

wtf is wrong with your leg??

>>15848478
I've seen some seikos use the roman I to VII to denote the days of the week too

>>15848462
wtf is wrong with your leg??

>>15848474
I prefer the skeleton version.

>>15848487
I think the bend is the foot itself.
Notice how it looks like it hasn't had as much sun exposure compared to the rest of the leg?

>>15848486
>VII
VII never appears on the seiko daywheel
instead its a big red ERROR SQUARE.

>>15848478
Elaborate fren

>>15848487
I have my foot resting on the chair, my arm cuts off the view of my foot around where my metatarsals are

>>15848439
This would look pretty epic if it had proper colors so you can see some shit and if the star pattern wasn't so retarded.

>>15848478
>>15848495
Ahhh, referring to the Arabic day wheel

This bloke gets it

Pic attached is a 6139 my brother picked up for $4. Full length original bracelet as well

>>15848435
Which one is this exactly? Looks really good, reminds me of Marathon a bit, has that military/tool aesthetic with the crown and the subsecond markers and everything.

>>15848513
Seiko SBDA001 in titanium

aka the OG Samurai

>>15848495
its a sexy man foot then

are you also a rough and assertive man?

maybe in a labour job with long hours of sweaty sock wearing? and maybe you are lazy and dont change socks for the whole week..........that would be gross haha

>>15848521
My feet are ugly mate, pale as fuck, hairy, comically large, covered in callouses and a few of my toes point the wrong way after being broken a few times

Can someone explain the appeal of bezels? Does anyone actually use them for function?
They look ugly and ruin many watches for me

>>15848529
>pale as fuck, hairy, comically large, covered in callouses
these are all good points though, i like <3
vanilla feet is kinda boring, like how an minimalistic dress watch is also often boring

i like watches and feet with "something a bit extra special"

>>15848555
>Does anyone actually use them for function
nobody uses them for function

its a fidget spinner thing for watch autists to go *clickclickclickclick* WOW

>>15848558
Poofters will match into the lake of sulphur. Fuck off with your weird shit

>>15848568
feet lovers who are also into men only make up a tiny % of the global foot fetish demographic

maybe get out of your missionary position in the dark only cave once in a while

>>15846868
Sinn 356 maybe but it is a completely different look.

>>15848555
It can have its use, I for sure would use it while cooking, but I'm sure 99,99% of the wearers of those watches doesn't use the bezel and only like the aesthetics, the same as a chronograph with tachymeter, why the fuck do you need that, better having a diver style bezel that can have some use, but no, for some reason the tachymeter is more desired for larping purposes.

>>15848555
>call delivery
>set marker on current minute hand
>get on plane
>set marker x hours from current hour hand
that's about all i use bezels for

>>15848555
GMT bezels are super useful if you work with an international group. Timing ones, not so much

>>15848600
Countdown is useful when you're out and about and need to catch a bus, flight or whatever. Fast and easy to adjust and see how much time you have left at a quick glance.

>>15848600
The purpose of a GMT bezel is to track 3 timezones, isn't it? If I need to consistently track 3+ timezones I would just use my computer/phone. I would rather have GMT function in a watch and a regular countdown bezel. 2 is the most that most people will need to track at any given time looking at their wrist like that.

>>15848627
you can put a 24 hour bezel on a watch and get 2 timezones. glycine airman purists do that

>>15848639
I've always thought the 24 hour GMT bezel was a huge fucking meme. Regular countdown or 12 hour is the way to go.

>>15848639
is there a real difference between a 24 hour bezel and a 12 hour bezel?

>>15848641
as long as you can do basic math, no

>>15848641
A 24 hour bezel is for when you have a GMT hand which rotates once per 24 hours. A 12 hour dial is for when you don’t have a GMT hand and doesn’t specify whether the time in your second time zone is in AM or PM.

>>15848662

>>15848690
It wouldn't be extremely devaluating.

Nearly £6k for this basic-ass watch? What kind of mug pays that?

a year into collecting watches i sill i have a mini heart attack whenever my watch even remotely hits against something when im not careful

how do people just totally *not care* about scratches and dings on their watch?

how do I *let go*?

>>15848699
Stop being poor?

>>15848576
Damn, this is beautiful. I liked the 144 too but this would fit my wrist far better. Do I have to contact them to order one?

>>15848698
> pay £6k for a rolex
> wear it for 10 years
> it is still accurate, still looks classy af, has never broken
> sell it for £8k

what a terrible purchase choice

>>15848714
do people actually believe this?

>>15848711
Look at the thickness first.

>>15848706
its not about money, as I have the same reaction for a $20 casio

>>15848714
You think a datejust will gain value? It’s too ubiquitous.

>>15848721
Yes they do increase but nothing like other models. Maybe not 25% after 10 years but you're unlikely to be losing much money after that long.

>>15848717
It is unfortunate but it's a Valjoux clone after all, I was expecting that.

>>15848716
Only if you think the history of Rolex over the last 50 years is any indication of what will happen in the future.

>>15848730
This hasn’t proved true with Datejusts bought 10 years ago. They can be had for £4500 is good condition.

>>15848744
> £4500
True but that was about the retail price of a DJ 10 years ago.

>>15848750
Yea and these watches look like they’ve barely been worn. Wear a watch for 10 years and it will have damage and lose value. Also you need to insure it and service it.
Cheap watches are obviously better value.

>>15848757
99% of 10yr old shitters are worthless.

>>15848395
At least your not paying 2k for long ones made in china and assembled in Switzerland ;)

>>15848760
Im not, actually, I dont support the mountain jew.

>>15848769
Me neither. Kind of funny how chinese watches are the only one where you absolutely know where they're made until you get to damasko or nomos

>>15848771
>>15848769
I just wish chinks had spent the last 50 years refining their own designs rather than shamelessly ripping off Swiss brands. Although with watches I can't blame them since this is the industry where half the watches are fucking "homages"

>>15848694
You're a big watch

>>15848780
Judging by recent Rolex replicas the Chinese are capable of amazing things for little money.

>>15848786
Yes but I want to see more Chinese designs rather than just endless streams of offbrand Rolexs. There are some out there, but there coudl be more

>>15848699
If you are acting this way you paid too much for your watch.

>>15848699
Just get a watch bubble

>>15847536
You just spent time and money just to make the watch weaker.
Congrats.

>they are actually heated blue metal hands.

[X] Doubt

I like contrast

>>15848850
Ok retard

>>15848832
Tbh I did this with my a700 lol. So shiny. Once you get the first ding in it your good to go

>>15848850
They are blued, but not blue heated, probably anodized, it's really cheap, you put a hands mass on the liquid mixed with the colour blue, you press the button, and the electrical current slaps the blue into the hands.

https://youtu.be/TFEzeG71snI

>>15848862
So then why does your watch have no contrast?

>>15848883
So why are you so stupid?

>>15848883
White on black is decent contrast.

>>15848894
Very boring though.

>>15848197
Vario is based

>>15848181
love how they managed to gradient the blue and the red/pink but for yellow and green they just kept the full color

Why no simple three hander in ceramic?

>>15848181
That subdial looks like it could be on a Casio. Why give up there?

>>15848925
>>15848911

The watchmaker couldn't handle building ugly shitters for Hubolt anymore, a little bit of his soul leaves him with every watch.

Is this a watch I can buy now or is it some Kickstarter shit so I might live in a different place by the time it comes out?

You can preorder them on Varios website. They're not shipping till May/June.

Omega has a few seamasters in ceramic, no date window too.

However they do have another crown at 10 o'clock

>I was down on Monta because I found their designs to be a little too vanilla. They're clearly aiming straight up the middle at people who want a "Luxury Swiss Timepiece." The thing is, when you handle one in the metal, it just exudes quality. Their aesthetic still doesn't blow up my skirt in the same way as the GS or some of my other watches but the craftsmanship... Wow!
Is this true? has anyone handled one? It really looks like a fancy watch somehow despite the price, but I don't know if it's just pics or what.

>>15848954
Fpbp here, the guy who runs the company is an American Russian called Ivan, I think they're based in Singapore because of taxes and probably a good supply chain of chinese and japanese parts.

>>15848994
no one here actually likes watches and are too autistic for bants so half the thread inevitably devolves into broken English clout flexing. /wt/ might as well be called sad chang /biz/ wrist medallion cope.
>pic very unrelated
it’s an expansive AND unique watch that exudes personality, something you will never see here. I mean they have the tenacity post SOIKOS on a FASHION board. They’re irredeemably fucked in the head.

definitely, most big name brands sell their watches many thousands above cost of production and raw material.

Stick it up your asshole retard.

>>15849077
It is said that rolex sub production cost is about 900. Mountain jews really milk the product.

>>15849087

that’s the same figure i read about as well. i don’t blame them though, if i were the head of a large company i would probably do the same to be honest.

much of the day to day products we use are marked up as well, but watches in particular like with any niche product will see extremes. obviously there is no way a Patek is worth $30k, or anywhere close to that. but people buy what they like!

Only problem I really have is wanting to keep the kanji weekday, according to your chart here it looks like even ones that have english weekdays can be changed to kanji
am I incorrect in assuming this information? Ones I was looking at had a mix of kanji or english, but if it's just a matter of turning the wheel to kanji that opens up options

>>15849433
If it's made after -67 or so the day will have two languages, and if it's JDM they will be kanji and english. Just set it to the language you want to use and it'll stay that way. However, if you're just getting into watches, do a lot of research before getting a vintage piece.

What is it that draws you to one brand or another?

I factor in reputation and perception far above all else. Is this bad?
