You shouldn't be ashamed of having excellent taste.

What's the least expensive poorfag collection that covers all the bases sensibly, /wt/?

I'm trying to figure out what watches I need in which price category, I think I only have the money for one entry level luxury watch and the other would have to be quirky shitters, but one of them would have to be a Rolex too, just to cover that, but since I'm poor I can't wear an expensive watch daily, so the daily beater would have to be relatively cheap.

Invest what little money you have now, forget about watches until you have so much of it that you won’t give a shit about watches anymore.

Kind of a cop out. Sub $500 shitters aren't going to stop you from building wealth.
But yeah >>15894422 don't buy a fucking Rolex, you deserve some shitters. Take that $4-12k you were going to spend on a Rolex and invest it. Learn to enjoy some Seiko homages, Vostoks and other bullshit like the rest of us. What Rolex did you have in mind anyway?

Now do you want a watch collection or not?

If I had the money I might get pic related

>RADIO CONTROLLED
Meaning you don't have to worry about setting the time, it just does it automatically every day so it's always on-time
>SOLAR POWERED
Meaning you don't have to worry about replacing the battery, at least for a very very long time (I currently have a solar powered Casio and it's still going after 15 years)

If that's not based, I don't know what is

"Investing" is dumb.

If you have money to spare... Why would you invest? You already have more money than you need, you MADE IT, enjoy! Dont be a greedy retard.

And if you dont have spare money, what would you do? Risk the rent money? That would be dumb too.

I've got a 5600, it's a nice no-nonsense watch, but it's overly bulky for what it is and it doesn't really make me smile.

Replacing a battery every 5 years costs me a dollar and takes 5 minutes, and I get a watch without an ugly solar cell on it. As for radio time, decent quality quartz only loses a minute every 6 months, and resetting it is as difficult as pulling out the crown then pushing it back in after a minute.

The main problem with g-shocks though, is the dogshit straps. I've got a titanium replacement for mine, but the stock rubber is complete trash and will fall apart on you in a year.

>>15894541
>Replacing a battery every 5 years costs me a dollar and takes 5 minutes
Doesn't it ruin the water resistance though? Don't you have to send it off if you want it resealed properly for water resistance?

>The main problem with g-shocks though, is the dogshit straps. I've got a titanium replacement for mine, but the stock rubber is complete trash and will fall apart on you in a year.
The 15 year old Casio I mentioned in my last post has a resin (rubber) strap, and it's still fine after 15 years

>>15894559
>>Doesn't it ruin the water resistance though? Don't you have to send it off if you want it resealed properly for water resistance?
All my watches other than my g-shock are at least a few decades old, water resistance isn't really something I care about because I'm not a diver and I don't wear my watches in the shower.

>>The 15 year old Casio I mentioned in my last post has a resin (rubber) strap, and it's still fine after 15 years
I've never had one last more than a couple of years. Might be the climate, but I've just found rubber straps to be complete and utter garbage, they all tear. Meanwhile a 2 dollar nylon strap lasted multiple years of constant use, while also being a lot more comfortable in hot weather.

Alright /wt/, I'm ready to take the plunge into sorta-luxury and I wanna ask an AD about the Black Bay 36. I'm thinking blue to get some of those BB58 vibes, since if I wanted the black I might as well just get a used 36mm Explorer. Anybody got one of these they can comment on, or know of any other nice dressy/sporty watches in this size and niche? Another watch I was considering was the 36mm Oris Pointer date, but my local AD only has the 40 and I don't wanna drop this much cash purely on spec.

>>15895058
Why don't you just save up for a blue 58? That watch in your pic looks like shit.

They take some effort but they aren't that hard to get, you just have to call around and find an AD that can ship you one.

Redpill me on rubber straps, are they shit?

From my perspective:
>NATOs: shit, can't get them wet without them retaining water and having your wrist be wet for an hour after
>leather: shit, get fucked if you get them wet and they wear out quickly
>metal: shit, usually stay wet if you get them wet, also generally uncomfortable for desk diving
>rubber: ???

The Sneedmaster bracelet is fucking garbage so I tried it on my Boctok rubber and I'm kind of liking it. I am however worried that someone may notice I'm wearing a waterproof strap on a watch with no water resistance and call me out as a fraud. I fear if this happened my reputation in the watch community would be destroyed forever.

first off there are 2 kinds of rubber used in rubber straps, natural rubber and silicon rubber which is far more common. natural rubber feels amazing. it's got a toughness to it yet is supple and comfortable. it's durable, resistant, and looks good if the company puts in the slightest effort.
silicon rubber is even more supple but it feels cheaper because it attracts lint and seems floppy. but it's still a good choice. a good rubber strap looks sporty but still more refined than a NATO, is insanely comfortable, and you basically don't have to worry about it.
look at bonetto cinturini strap if you are looking to try one.

These dogshit "smart" watches can't run off solar power, because they don't have any room for a cell big enough to power that massive, power hungry screen.

Look, your average cell battery watch gets 5-10 years of battery life. This can easily be kept topped up by trickle charging from solar. Modern "smart" watches? You're lucky if they last a month, and that's with the screen off 99% of the time. Without that, they won't last a day of actual use. You can't trickle charge that faster than it's draining, the power load is orders of magnitude higher.

Arnie has seriously embarrassed himself in recent years. I never got why people want to wear a watch to be like Bond but I do understand why people would want to not wear a watch because of other wearers of it.

>>15894860
wrong

>>15894850
idk I'm tired of American politicians trying to LARP as poor people.

No one gave a shit about the founding fathers being wealthy, no one really cared that Teddy and Franklin or JFK came from old money.

I don't know exactly when it was, maybe Carter or Reagan or Bush Sr politicians all decided they had to pretend to be poor and ordinary and "relateable" so they could only drive ordinary cars and wore department store watches.

>>15896109
> it's the only decent looking ana-digi.
how can you forget about casioaks

Decent quality LIGHT bracelets. Do they exist?

It feels like every single manufacturer out there gives no consideration to the weight of a strap.

Is my only option buying a CNC mill and removing all the pointless weight from a strap? Either you get folded links that rattle like crazy, or solid bricks that are twice the weight they need to be for no reason.

>>15896206
dont titanium bracelets exist?
and there are good hollow bracelets that look like solid ones

>>15895831

the grey one has been recently discontinued after only 2 months of sale so if you nigs ever want to buy it the best time is now

>>15896213
I've got a better version of this on an old seiko with a lot more pieces, but the problem is that it's too thin to wear on something like a diver.

I also despise millanese bracelets. They look tacky to me.

>>15896208
Titanium bracelets have their own issues. Plus, because it's more expensive to machine, they don't use it the way it really should be used. If a SS folded link bracelet is a mere 35g, the titanium one should be approaching 20g. Instead, it's about 40, because they don't make folded link titanium.

>>15896229
It's uglier and takes up a lot more space on the wrist, which is an issue for a watch that's already far bigger than it needs to be because of "muh shock protection".

Yeah if you're going to make a shitter don't pull any punches that it's a shitter.

That's why the F91W is based, it doesn't pull any punches about what it is. Put it in some gold plated shit with cursive script and it'd be cringe

>>15896229
Yeah Gshocks kinda suck in that they're enormous but then still have a pretty small display

I get that they're pretty tough, but you can get an Ironman for half the money with a better display and it'll last for years unless your hobbies include repeatedly bashing it under a boulder

>>15896250
>only expensive watches can have cursive script and gold colouring

>>15896257
Yes. And by "gold coloring" I mean actually being made of gold. Trying to be pretentious is cringe. Authentically being humble or classy is based.

Why else do you think the F91W, Seiko and Rolexes are revered but department store shitters are not?

>>15896231

>>15896206
The answer is hollow center links. Optionally, stamped folding clasp. Pretty wasteful to mill out sonething that will never have force exerted on it.

>>15896279
Hollow links stretch, though. And hairs get caught in the caps.

I get that milling is a significant expense, but you'd think one 50k watch would try and style on everyone else by showing off hollow milled links.

>>15896284
a watch that is too light makes it feel cheap

>>15896294
Yes, that is how retards think

>>15896297
plastic watches are light
fashion watches are light
a watch made of solid gold is heavy
it has heft, it has presence, it demands attention
a watch that is too light just feels cheap
thats the way it is

>>15896305
I'm not the guys you were arguing with, but I agree with him.
I find myself gravitating to lighter watches more and more.
Light watches are comfier to wear if you get over the lightweight=low quality meme.

>>15896322
Same, as I get older I don't want some massive heavy piece of shit on my wrist. I know I have a watch and I know how much my watch costs, I don't need a pound on my arm to remind me constantly.
I'm also starting to embrace quartz because you just don't have to worry about it. There are more important things.

>>15896275
>normies literally buy rolexes just to flaunt their "wealth"

At the end of the day, get a watch you like cos apart from elitist watchfag collectors, no one cares what’s on your wrist. You could have a Paul Newman Daytona and normies would know or care. You could have a 250k limited edition Patex and no normie would care.

This is the one I have. Idc if you think it’s tacky I like the look.

>>15896201
There's a difference between an independently wealthy man getting into politics to serve his country, and someone making a career out of politics and living off taxpayers' money for most of his adult life.

Thoughts on this watch? Shameless Rolex knockoff?

>>15896348
You are trolling right?

>>15896344
you like looking like a gay hipster vegan druid?

I'm all for owning watches you personally like, but that dinner plate is a fucking mess on so many levels. At least get something that actually fits your wrists.

>>15896350
I don’t wear it to impress you. I wear it for myself.

>>15896348
Unironically puts the Daytona to shame.
Way too fucking expensive though.

Completely delusional. Just ask a random girl on Instagram out while showing off with a Rollie on your timeline and while showing off with a Seiko.

>>15896358
Good, because everyone else thinks you look like a fucking bozo.

>>15896348
yeah but I kinda I like it, is El Primero some latino heritage brand like Cuervo Y Sobrinos?

if that watch impresses you you are one gay transsexual faggot hippie hobbit motherfucker

>>15896354
Cos it’s too big for my wrist??

>>15896360
>while showing off with a Seiko.

The only luxury watch brand people know is a Rolex. No normie has heard of Seiko but wow impressing gold diggers. That’s what I want to do

>>15896365
it's a cool, unique watch and being a bit oversized is part of its charm imho

>>15896361
>>15896364

Like every watch ever, no one gives a shit apart from you fags. Why don’t you post your watches then?

>>15896374
I don't have one, I'm too poor for my 5k grail, and too old for a G-Shock.

>>15896370
>No normie has heard of Seiko
Many normies have heard of Seiko because it's a very big brand that has been sold in malls and department stores for decades now. Of course people recognize Rolex the most by far but normies are aware Seiko, Casio, and Omega exist.
You're right though, nobody gives a fuck what watch you wear.

>>15896371
Really? Thank you. That’s why I got it cos it’s not like anything else. I’m glad someone likes it.

>>15896377
So you’re judging me for wearing a watch, when you don’t even have one?

What is your 5k grail watch?

>>15896381

>>15896378
>Of course people recognize Rolex the most by far but normies are aware Seiko, Casio, and Omega exist.
Yeah I’m sure they are but not everyone does and out of those, who have heard of a grand seiko? Not a lot and doubt they’d think it was worth the price.

>You're right though, nobody gives a fuck what watch you wear.

Exactly. Unless you’re bragging about your Rolex to gold diggers on Instagram

>>15896241
The American politicans and media hate working class people, and the politicians only larp as working class during the election cycle. Otherwise they enjoy all the K Street, Wall Street and Hollywood perks that come with it.
And the media doesn't judge candidates by how well they act blue collar, they judge them by what party they belong to, the color of their skin, their gender and sexual orientation, and how woke they are. And lastly and probably most importantly, the media judges them by how friendly they are to their corporate interests. Not the ones they pretend to have in public, the ones they espouse behind closed doors.

>>15896348
My initial thought was that it did look like a Daytona knockoff but the more I’ve looked at it the more distinct it appears. The black dial version is superior however.

>>15896382
Tourbillion? Thought it would be more than 5k?

>>15896275
I know you have a hard time reading.

"Authentically being humble OR classy is based"

>>15896394
Shows what you know, wood watch loser

>>15896363
Zenith labeled their chronograph "El Primero" (the first) because they wanted it to sound like it was the first automatic chrono, which it wasnt, but it was certainly the best.

Oddly, Zenith have claimed that the name comes from esperanto, which it isnt, since "first" is "unna" and "el" is "the" in spanish. Then partner brand "Movado" yes do come from esperanto (meaning moving stuff)

The prototipe of the El Primero was referred as "Le Premier" in french internally, but was presented in Madrid in 69 and the name was translated for or by local press... Probably someone at Zenith liked how it sounded, who knows.

There is nothing official explaining all this.

>>15896381
>What is your 5k grail watch?

>>15896399
Enjoy your wet dreams over your watch asshole

>>15896374
No one talking to your face about your watch =\= no one caring about your watch.
Everyone is patently aware of that big ugly dinner plate on your wrist but they’re not talking to you about it out of the kindness of their hearts, like normal fucking people do, you goddamn schizoid.

>>15896403
First is UNNA in Esperanto, i mean.

>>15896404
That looks worse than my watch and probably costs a hundred times as much. You're pathetic and seething because my watch looks just as good as yours and makes me happier while you pay more for less.

>>15896347
That's the venerable Skmeishock, look up some reviews on youtube.
The watch is tough as fuck. Rivals the real G-Shock.
You can probably get them on Aliexpress for cheaper.

I’d get this or a Hamilton Sputnik

>>15896348
If they put it on a more original looking bracelet no one would think this looks like a Daytona

>>15896417
>wait till the buble bursts and rolexcucks find out about the El Primero and how Zenith supplied the original Daytona movements
rolexcucks don't care because they just like to think owning a rolex makes their penis larger and no matter what they will convince themselves a rolex is simply better in every way
the daytona is actually the most shit watch rolex has that's currently produced. it didn't win at le mans, it wasn't on the moon, it wasn't the first of anything, it doesn't even look good. if you line up the original daytona and the modern one side by side it's like marlon brando expanding with old age. people only like it because rolex is a fucking meme but the buyers are convinced it's the greatest luxury chrono ever made

>>15896409
>they’re not talking to you about it out of the kindness of their hearts, like normal fucking people do, you goddamn schizoid.

That’s nice of them. Shame that people have bigger problems in their lives than what a watch looks like and don’t actually do that.

>>15895249
nobody in the real world would notice, let alone give a shit about what strap your watch has compared to the watch resistance you autist.

>>15896426
But the modern Daytona is, at MSRP, reasonably priced for a chronometer certified, automatic, column wheel, vertical clutch chronograph with hacking seconds. The Moonwatch is manual wound and cam actuated (and only recently gained chronometer certification and hacking seconds). The El Primero has a horizontal clutch, is not chronometer certified, and only some of the newest models have hacking seconds. The Daytona is also finished more impressively than either of those two watches.

Of course Rolex has retarded false scarcity practices that Omega and Zenith don’t, but on paper it is a very good watch at a good value.

>>15896440
>le wall of text
*buys a seagull at $200*

>>15896440
The Gaytona is also four times the price of those other watches

>>15896448
Not at MSRP. If you can get one at a dealer or boutique, you might have to wait a couple years, but they will sell it to you at MSRP.

>>15896422
patrician taste
pic rel is an affordable shitter alternative of the dynamic

>>15896404
This under 5k. Would want a master control chrono or Patrimony for a grail dress watch

Anyone have a quartz Seiko SUR315 or SUR307 shitter? They're so incredibly similar looking to the Grand Seiko SBGR315. However I really dislike the bracelet, I'd love to see one on a grey or blue perlon strap to see how that works.

>>15896695
>Rado Manhattan
bruh

>>15896679
Short lug to lug is just babby's first revelation. The real red pill is dial diameter. You want a watch that's a little over half of your wrist dimension. For example, my wrists are about 55mm wide, and my watch face is sub 30mm.

>>15896700

Why did Casio lose their way?

>>15896707
thats a watch you wear while you wait ass up for the grindr top that's coming over to poz you
