Is Cartier still a good brand?
Looking at getting the wife one this year.

Reposting cuz I’m retarded
Just post an obscure brand you like, please. I’m so sick of seeing the same shit.

looking for an automatic, dressy diver that has similar handset and baton markers to a TAG aquaracer. under $300 would be ideal. any recs?

>>15869624
Expensive but generally the watches look good and the name has big history behind it, your wife will probably love it.

>>15869626
No, it's a fair enough point. Granted, Roger Smith is well known, but if I had the chance and the money I'd commission him to do something for me.

yes or no?

>>15869667
Depends; are you buying new or secondhand?

>>15869626
otsuka lotec
heavily modified miyota movements in about 3 different styles, but this one gives me fallout-fucks-japan vibes and I dig it.

>>15869667
Yes if you can get it for a good price.
The lume on the dial wont be fantastic but it's otherwise one of the better looking tissot watches i have seen

>>15869671
I’m buying both hands

>>15869671
new
>>15869683
full price (around 750€)

else you could suggest some watches that go for the same price new with a similar style, max 40mm, no quartz, everyday watch that can be used with a suit too

>>15869667
its kinda boring
at this price there are other very strong contenders like the seiko presage/sharp edge/ SARBs
even the hamilton jazzmaster daydates

if you wore it loose thats your own fault
>hurts my eyes

>>15869667
I'd recommend a Certina DS-4 instead.

Any watches that glow in the dark like this one?

>>15869728
Lots, anywhere from a Lourus (a seiko subbrand) on the cheap side, to some of the islanders from long island watch and i think there are some more expensive options as well. Full lune dial baby

Holy shit, thanks!
>>15869764
Yes, I'm a beginner LOOMBRAIN, how could you tell?

so there was a wristlet anon asking about the casioak

well im a 6 inch, this is how it looks on my wrist
its slightly almost too big, you can see the strap just sticking out (the keeper cant go any further)

>>15869766
Opposite. I started off being all 'bAuHAUs' and shifted to almost exclusively sports watches, the one exception being my GS
can still appreciate a nice one when I see it. Nice Nomos Club btw

>>15869779
and the seam is showing (the straps are detachable)
on a fatter wrist it wouldnt show

>>15869743
yeah dude

>>15869722
why do you troll me so, anon

>>15869768
>>15869766

I like the speedy, it's just a great looking watch. Icon and moon stuff to the side.

The type XXl is a great watch but the date window cut into the sub dial like that is a no go for me and I trying to stay away from dates all together! Seamaster is a daily, no date sub placeholder.

>>15869780
Same thing happened to me but then I came back around to dress watches.

>>15869786
My grail is a VC Overseas, but god damn the hands on this UJ are just to absolutely die for.

>>15869794
>the date window cut into the sub dial like that is a no go for me and I trying to stay away from dates all together!
Damn hard to argue with that. I was looking at the current speedmaster 38 but the similar date window placement on that kills it for me as well.

>>15869800
They change color depending on the light. Really beautiful blued hands.

>>15869779
>>15869784
Looks fine anon.
They have also just announced a smaller S version of the casioak. It doesn't even say baby-g on it!

>>15869803
But also the three dimensionality of them.

>>15869794
Im guessing you won't like this for similar reasons, or the fact that it's the same price as the speedy with a 50 year old movement. But your thoughts on the zenith chronomaster revival?

>>15869812
I think you bought the best looking watch from their lineup, i really like it and I'm not normally one for bullhorn lugs. I want to hear you take on the sports watch they are now offering. Do you like it? Do you think it's a good idea on the Brand's part or do you feel it's too far out of their wheelhouse?

>>15869835
I think the Urban Jürgensen One looks a lot better in person on the wrist than it does in photos. I do wish it had been 40mm and with a slightly thinner case.

Quality-wise, it's top tier. The bracelet is amazing and movement finish is top notch. Their GMT functionality is much more intuitive than many others.

Regarding if it's in their wheelhouse or not, I think with the UJ maritime history, it makes sense to the brand, plus it's what the market demands at the moment. You can't get any Patek steel watches, or Vacheron, or AP Royal Oaks. But you can get this, and it's boutique made.

Have a nice weekend, watchlads

>>15869624
Legit good brand that is focused on design instead of meme horology, the bad thing is their stuff is a bit pricey, but looks good.

Stopped me getting a few nice watches
(Speedmaster Mark ll)

>>15869811
I don't mind 4 o'clock windows so much, I like the classic Zenith El Primero 38mm. If it didn't have the date window i would put it on my 100% will buy in the furture.

Maybe for automatic watches I can have a few dates in my collection, I will have to see.

A logical steampunk watch would be an ordinary mechanical watch.

>>15869897
You too, Anon.

>>15870006
Go for a Citizen or for a San Martin chronograph from Aliexpress, then buy a leather strap separately if needed.

>>15869766
Well I'm really tempted by a Roger Dubuis Much More...I've been trying to decide on a rectangular gold watch for quite a number of years, but I haven't found one that really hits the mark enough to pull the trigger. But that's the only 'dress' watch I want...everything else is either out of my price range or boring to my eyes.

You have a nice collection there; if you need something different, then perhaps something in gold, or maybe a watch with a different complication (like power reserve, day-date, etc.). But really, you have all you need.

>my Speedies say hi.

>>15870023
Wristcheck, I would recommend this watch for wrists up to 6 inches, notice how it hugs the wrist while comfortably seats on top.

>>15870055

>>15870006
Parnis chronograph of aliexpress is the super cheap option
This is $75 over your budget but it comes on an acceptable leather strap, swiss made, super accurate quartz movement, this is a really great watch.

>>15870055
wtf?

>>15870062
About a year ago, from Yahoo auction.

>>15870067
It wasn't exactly cheap at its release, to be honest, at about $500. It's just that no one cares about it now.
On the minus side, it's super thick (about 16.5mm) which prevents me feom wearing it with a dress shirt.
It's actually titanium, so it's super light.
I too wish that Casio was less stupid about sizing.

What are some "gothic looking" watches? I don't mean in the sense of modern goth fashion, I'm talking more about gothic architecture or "gothic horror" vibes.

>>15869766
Nope, the opposite for me. I used to only like polished metal cases on leather straps but now I don't love wearing them. As comfortable as a leather strap is, you just can't do anything in them. Once you sweat at all or wash your hands it feels like shit for the next hour. Constantly taking it off and putting it in a pocket scares the hell out of me that I'm going to lose it somewhere. Just impractical for daily wear.

>>15869953
Ugh, God that gap from those lugs. I can't wrap my head around why Nomos is so popular.

>>15870181
Because it's for homos

>>15870181
Because the majority of buyers appreciate the simple but clean and pleasing designs, their build quality and relatively low pricing. They are the perfect watch for office enviroments. It is only a tiny number of autistic's that obsess over their lugs.

>>15869766
No, I’m into sports watches. I like the juxtaposition of luxury and ruggedness. Your Seamaster achieves that balance very well. There’s just something about knowing that nothing you will do in your everyday life will exceed the conditions for which your watch was built that I like. I like knowing that my watch is tough.

>>15870151
I have heard people describe it as “tonneau-esque”.

>>15869618
The second “no wave” reference of this watch looks so much better than both the first and the third references.

>>15870151
Tonneau?

>>15870151

But more accurate would be "Genta-esque".

Is there like a vostok generator website. There's so many case styles. I would get the 420 case but I'm worried the 18mm strap would look weird compared to the 22mm of the bigger cases.

Thanks, I'm going to add a Reverso next year, just the classic mid size. I thought a duoface but I don't think I would get must use out of a second face as cool as it is. I will see closer to the time. I like the simple designed watches, something in gold would be amazing but I have not found the right watch. A tank louis cartier would be my pick for a gold square watch, not to everyone's taste I know (I have small wrists).

>>15870174
You have a fair point but I tend to be careful with water and washing my hand when I have a strap on. I do think shell cordovan straps hold up better to water and sweat than others, that said I have put my 300m on the rubber strap and I daily wearing it.

>>15870208
Yes, that's the reason I bought the 300m. I just love the dress watch style and as I get older (32) I try and dress a bit better, I do find myself wearing them more than I thought.

>>15870433
I think I would put a 114270 on a strap personally. I near bought a really nice condition one 18 months ago but the braclet was not for me.

You salivate over these overpriced watches because they are supposedly perfect out of the box meanwhile the watches are unobtainable to the common man due to pricing and waitlists, and are bought by ball fondlers who proceed to violate them with electroplated carbon coats and 40 carats of diamonds

>>15870589
it looks surprisingly not bad, if it wasnt for the extremely extended buttons and print on the dial suggesting its lacking case(which I'm only noticing now) I wouldve been tempted to pick this up.
why cant they just slap a gshock movement into a small metal case

It took an autist to switch dials to create something worthwhile.
Normally, the UHF quartz Bulovas come in cream/SS and black/PVD dial/case variants. Dont know why nobody at Bulova thought a black/SS would sell. Some dude went ahead and bought both and combined them. It would be a killer if it ever came from factory like that.

however the alpinist has double the WR, and also has a compass (that nobody uses, but thats besides the point)

the alpinist can also double as a dress watch.

hence, the winner is the seiko alpinist. This watch might just be amongst the top 5 of our generation!

Yeah most of mine are vintage only because I have a hard time finding sub 39 mm cases. I’m not even a wristlet but anything over 40 looks gaudy to me. There are all metal G-shocks but they’re clownishly big. I wouldn’t even mind a metal Baby-G if they made it. The buttons on mine are a bit goofy, but it kinda fits in the “utilitarian” aesthetic; besides, it looks a bit worse in the picture.

Ultimate women's watch?

Willing to spend upto 2k for a sports watch that isn't any bigger than 40mm. I'd like to be able to swap straps, between a bracelet and a rubber strap (I love orange rubber straps, pic related). I like cleaner dials, but I'm not opposed to chronos, but it's not important to me at all. Some degree of waterproofing would be ideal. What are some of my options?

Check out Monta and Christopher Ward if you want a diver (Models C60) and Oris, or an used Citizen Chronomaster. Maybe an used quartz Grand Seiko.
An used quartz Aquaterra should be doable, as Anon said.
There's also the Frederique Constant Highlife and the Wempe Ironwalker quartz.

There are some great stuff, but mostly overpriced basic watches in the 1000-2000 price range.

>>15870824
Forgot : the Highlife and the Iron Walker have instegrated bracelet, so that may be a dealbreaker.

You get a pass, but you will never pass.

The Macys in downtown Chicago is closing and is having a clearance sale on pretty much everything. How do the mesh bands wear versus the traditional clasp as I've only worn leather straps? Thoughts on which one I should cop?

>>15870889
Nigger a reasonable price would be something like 500. Overshot, but still somewhat acceptable because fashion. 1,5-2k for a quartz is Rado tier and a shame. And what of their name? Where have been the last few decades? Somebody bought the legal rights and started chruning out china shitters with a "brand name" for exorbitant prices like TAG did with Heuer. Stowa and LaCo seem to be doing fine after all those years. Dont get me wrong, a chronometre rated quartz is kino, but the pricing is way off, well, just like anything, really.

>>15870869
Mühle, Sinn or Tourby (can be made to spec). Really depends how sporty or utilitarian you want it to be, or how much you want it to bling.

If I'm gonna waste that much money on a steel trinket, it better be something interesting.
I know watchmemer just did a video on this but I have dreamed this watch for a while.

best under ~$300:

orient (value king right now, many genres)

san martin (homage brand, excellent machinery)

seiko5 (snkl etc)
timex (certain selective models only)
>quartz
citizen (and yes they make cheap automatics too..)
casio/gshock (can never go wrong)

>>15871048
seiko5 is shit now, overpriced because they're discontinued, for a crappy movement. unless you mean the new ones which are basically fashion shitters and you get more value from homage brands and microbrands

>>15871000
Grandpa clock son

you can still get old seiko5 for $80—$100 off grey vendors

My watch band broke. I’m planning to get another black leather one like it came with, but I suppose now is the time to make a change if I want. Any suggestions for watch bands? Color? Material?

>>15871000
Looks ok to me

>>15871064
so so
Timex has better offerings now, also the weekender chronograph looks nicer

the basic 3 hand weekender is a iconic meme shitter, but its a real shitter in the true sense of the word-- a dollar quartz movement in a plated brass case along with non existent WR. For the same price you could of gotten the casio duro, which is steel and has sapphire and 200wr.

if you are talking about *fashion*, the timex marlin 34 or the casio a700/a1000/edifice EFV-110D looks better. You could also just get any of the casio mtp watches.

Literally lmaoing at ur life if you like these PHUCKIN SHITTERS.

What's the best square g shock /fa/? Should I just get a dw5600? The buttons are kinda shitty though.

>>15871121
Yeah as I scroll through this thread I’m beginning to agree the black band is boring, it’s the one it came with and I never really thought about it until it broke. Thanks for the suggestions.

did this replace the MRW-S300 or are they ever going to bring it back?

Does Citizen use some sort of special, slightly-harder mineral glass like Seiko? Just bought pic related as my first analog GMT.

You have no idea of what you are talking about.

>>15869650
What is that triangular thing?

>>15871415
I think he is trying to imply they are just a resurrected brand.

Wempe I think has and is still family owned. I don't think they have been producing their own watches that whole time. They been a high end jewler.

>>15869679
That is incredibly unique and distinct, what true HH is about, I think
>>15869722

>>15871407
it is a way of adding emphasis: with a pause.

>>15871380
Called 5 and miserably failed. One did have the GMT tho

>>15871439
Don't buy the Tudor GMT please. You will regret it.

>>15871340
Are you the guy who was looking for a GMT yesterday?
Cool choice, are you travelling?

And yes, their glass is marketed as a more resistant one. No idea how true it is, but as long as the crystal is less exposed than the bezel, it shouldn't be a problem.

>>15871433
He hasn't implied anything, he straight up said that the brand was bought to sell chinese shitters.
Which is doubly wrong.

>>15869811
Is this thing on his wrist stupid expensive?

>>15871439
At least you tried. I'm pretty sure an anon had success recently picking one up. I'm not sure if it's better to call bug NYC dealers or more out of the way shops.

>>15871362
I'm thinking more sex tourist.

>>15871457
MSRP is around $7,500 I'm not sure what they are actually selling for from dealers or on the used market.

>>15871466

>>15870784
Giving poor people money was a mistake.

>>15870784
I would be pissed if the the company i was buying super expensive meme watches from was going around telling the press how much I paid for them.

sup:)

>>15871454
Yea, I like the wempe. It seems expensive, id be tempted closer to 2k. It seems like its nicely finished.
They at least use the 2892 rather than 2824. People let tudor get away woth that bullshit no problem. Its priced against the bb36 think it looks like a nicer watch

>>15871443
hahahha.. oh my days.. what fucking cuck would buy that tudor?

>>15871484
The only reason you buy something as regarded as that is to signal how much money you have anyway. Anyone with taste would go for something a lot more subtle, but you can’t expect that from a brain damaged Irish nouveau riche.

>>15871507
Hello Danish Rolexanon.

>>15871439
Just buy a few bicolor tudor dress watches and your AD will suddenly find a BB58 for you

>>15871507
If you guys spent less on watches you could afford real plates and better beer

>>15871510
Just go to a Wempe store and talk to the sales clerks, you will never want to buy anything with their shit name on it afterwards

>>15871444
No, not that guy but I do track 3 time zones for work / online buddies. It's more of a love-at-first-sight purchase, and it just happens that I don't have a GMT or Citizen watch yet.

I paid $185 for mine so I wasn't really expecting sapphire, but it's nice to know it's a nicer crystal.

>>15871507
Ah yes, the fine cúísínê!

The aquanaut really grew onto me, the numbers are lovely. Nautilus does nothing for me, with the bar indices, same as AP royal oak. Love the old one even more, is better proportioned and the lug gap looks better than the gapless thing. Made me appreciate rubber straps and due to that the rolex yachtmaster on the oysterflex rubber strap.

>>15871507
wearing an aquanaut is even more embarrassing than buying a tudor
everbody knows you actually wanted a nautilus but couldnt afford one

Nobody should want a nautilus. I think that people, that like these stupid line indices, are some of the most boring cunts. Nautilus has one of the sexiest fonts for numbers. Casios helvetica font would be even better on the naut.

You will happily tell everyone what is shit.

>>15871587
>What is a cope watch
Every modern tudor, every hommage, Rolex Air King, Speedmaster Reduced, AP aquanaut, every Glashütte Original, every Glashütte Mühle

>>15871599
Why?

>>15871599
Pretty based post.

>>15871599
I mostly agree but what watch can't people get that they are substituting a Glashütte Mühle for?

>>15871599
you right

>>15871601
What why? People want a different watch but have to settle for a cheaper alternative.

>>15871601
Because they are all inferior versions of the watch that they buyer actually wanted.

>>15871612
probably the worst example I gave, I think I was just mixing it up with Glashütte Original

Hi I'm tim

>>15871615
>>15871617
That logic could apply to 99% of everything in existence. It doesn't mean people cant enjoy what they have.

Thats the difference between autist like you the rest of the population. They can appreciate and enjoy what they have. The world doesn't run absolutes

damn the 300m is ugly as shit

>>15871599
I don't think a Speedmaster Reduced is a cope watch because Moonwatches are common, not really more expensive (and in some cases less expensive) than any other Speedmaster models, and it's understandable that some people might want Speedmaster vibes in a smaller automatic watch.

>>15871637
Thanks for logging on

>>15871599
This may blow your mind, but there are people out there who like the BB58 and the Pelagos but hate all modern maxi-case Rolex models.

>Glashütte Original
So now that you can by a 39.5mm version of this without aged lume is it actually good? I knw that all the YouTubers that shill it buy rolexes instead but how does it stand on its own merits and not as a couldn't get a sub watch?

one of replica factories got raided, expect couple of chink brands disappear for a while

>>15871673
noooooo not hentai rolex

>>15871667
Garbage video, but accutron is pretty good.

Not great, because it saps battery life like a motherfucker, but tuning fork watches being practically dead is such a shame. Instead we have millions of awful auto shitters that are oversized and inferior to a 2 dollar quartz.

>>15871706
>Garbage video
filtered

Sinn 556, Christopher Ward c65 vintage trident, Traska commuter, or Smiths Everest 36mm? Looking for an everyday beater.
The Sinn seems too expensive for an eta shitter, and Damasko doesn't seem more worth it for a very similar design.

>>15871656
The reduced is a cope watch because it's designed for wristlets who can't wear a regular speedy.

It doesn't look bad without a point of comparison, but next to a speedy it looks like absolute dogshit. And I'm saying that as someone who thinks the speedy is one of the ugliest memewatches out there.

>>15871651
If this was the case they would just get a different watch, instead they get a cheap knockoff of the watch they actually want

>>15871708
with sinn and damasko you pay for case finishing and they do an amazing job.
christopher ward is good but you have to deal with the shit logo and name. traska is alright. smiths is a trash brand with bad QC and abysmal service.

>>15871756

As much as I hate to say it, I agree with you for the most.

Yes at lower price points you are right (tudor) but not at the higher end, the guy spending £20k-30k on a watch has £50k for a watch because he has £200k-400k in investments and £70k liquid. Yes there is always 1 or 2 retards that spend 80% of there net worth on a watch.
