Rolex Explorer
___________?

>>15908739
Second Rolex Explorer.
one to WEAR, one to LOOK AT

I hate him and I don't know why.

>>15908772
>Youtube creator
that's why

>>15908772
He sounds retarded. His reviews suck because they always lack eloquence. He's also a Rolex fanboy.

>>15908704
Should I buy a Grand Seiko SBGA285? I am after a sub 40mm watch in the $1k- $3.5k price range

Why don’t selko poorfags just get reps?

>>15908784
I'd get one with a more interesting dial to be honest familia.

>>15908772
>>15908779
>>15908782

Why don’t seiko poorfags just get reps? Is it a pride thing?

>>15908772
reminds me david duchovny, Who i like but i hate the way he looks

>>15908772
I like him, he seems like a very genuine guy.
That photo, however, I find slightly unsettling.

>>15908793
What are you asking?

>>15908789
I was thinking that, but the 39mm size and spring drive is ideal, I think I would have already bought it if it had a glossy black dial like a Rolex op39

>>15908797
seiko watches seem pretty gay and I only see poor people buy them. what’s up with that?

>>15908803
What?

>>15908803
Interesting thought. I'm not personally into their stuff either, but they seem more edgy than gay to me. Little "mall-ninja".

>>15908727
Based, really. Fake watches are Chad watches

>>15908803
Have you considered that they just like then, you fucking spatz?

Hi all

So I'm very new to the watch thing. I've been wanting to get a decent one for months and I finally did so a couple of weeks back (Victorinox Fieldforce) and I absolutely love it. It makes me feel amazing cutting about town with it on. Thing is, i'm hooked now, I want to get a couple more entry level watches (Seiko 5 and another Victorinox and a dresser) so that I have the basis of a collection, and am able to change my watch to my outfit beofre I start to sit down and seriously consider something more serious.

So being brand new and all I would like your advice on what website/s forums are good for used legit luxury watch sales. There's so many sites out there you just have no idea how dodgy they are.

I am UK based so a UK website would be ideal but so be it if not.

Thanks all.

>>15908791
>Zenith is well-loved and high regarded
>Rolex not so much
Wut

>>15908905
In the online watch community he's not wrong. He gets an unbelievable amount of hate for even enjoying Rolex. Have you not seen it on here? People rage-posting about somebody "supporting" their "terrible business practices" of having wait-lists and preferred members who get first dibs on more rare watches?

There is also the other side on here though, where you'll be called a retard for buying anything remotely expensive that isn't a Rolex because "nobody will know that it's expensive".

>>15908918
>He gets an unbelievable amount of hate for even enjoying Rolex.
Rolex is pretty much all he really cares about, and it shows.

>>15908918
I mean sure, ppl who aren't retarded and have been around the block can simultaneously understand that A) Rolex sports watches are cool and B) that they are fantastically over-priced and over-hyped for what they are.
I'm just surprised how this guy is being dragged through glass in the comments for defending just another 'meh' watch release.
I thought all the watch retards were here in /wt/ shitposting whenever someone posts a non-rolex with 'couldn't afford a Rolex?' lol

>>15908937
self-correction not 'defending' but just giving a mostly shit-take about an average watch release.

>>15908791
jesus what a fucking pussy

>>15908791
What a bitch, especially after T3 comes out to defend him. Fuck R*lex and Zenith shitters

>>15908937
The problem is some guy making videos for the watch enthusiast community that suck off rolex just comes off as pathetic. At the same time poorfags that finally have a chance to buy a "respectable" daytona homage are seething at being told that it's still a pathetic daytona homage. Basically everyone involved is a fag.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

>>15908961
Why are they piling onto Adrian like that?
Pretty much all watch Youtubers I know said the exact same thing, including Hi I'm Tim.

>>15908961
>totally not an homage, bro
>it's totally its own thing bro

>>15908961
What fucking autists.
>The lugs are 2.3mm thick, as opposed to the Rolex's 2.4, therefore it's a completely different watch guys!
Is this the company watchfags keep?

>>15908970
The rolex looks cheap compared to it.

what watch would you buy if you were a millionaire? for me its the lange 1 time zone

>>15908977
Two Breitlings (Aerospace and Avenger), one Sinn (140), Yema Superman, Tudor BB58, Rolex Explorer, Rolex OP with engravings, and a metal G-Shock.

>>15908977

>>15908977

Have a great weekend, watchcrew.

>>15908977
Idk don't know a lot about watches. I'd get a steel rolex or omega most likely and keep about 50,000 and give the rest to my folks.

>>15908977
A Rolex sub 5512, probably.
My real weakness would be cars

>>15908961
I’ve ordered both the black and white face and can’t wait. No begging ! - On my wrist within the next four weeks. This ain’t no replica ! For a start it has a date ! A glass back ! They have moved the game on !

>>15909002
whats on for the weekend mr hammy

>>15908973
Advanced levels of rolex derangement syndrome aka poorfag cope make it impossible for them to admit that it looks like a rolex.

>>15908803

>>15908803
you'd be right

>>15909041
Mostly wine and gin.

Look how they massacred my boy...

>>15908961
Can't you see that Zenith has thier own rich history of unique designs to call on? Its noot a rolex homage nooooo.

>>15908961
>>15908970
>>15909081
Oh yeah while rolex used to use zenith movements so who is a ripoff of who hmmmmm?

>>15909078
About the only mods I'd do these days are movement upgrades or crystal replacements
They fucked a v nice non rolex design with a stupid bezel and presidential bracelet. The longer I've been into watches the more I hate this kinda shit.

>>15909086
>buying movements
vs
>copying designs

Zenith is ripping off Rolex, not a shadow of a doubt.

>>15909090
Cope, it's the same fucking thing rolex fanboy

Watch retard here. My shitty timex keeps stopping every few days. Are quarts shitters typically easy to repair?

>>15909092
epic troll bro

>>15909095
depends, but sounds like maybe the battery needs replacing. Is it second hand/how long have you had it.

>>15909095
Yes, by throwing them away and getting a new one

>>15909097
Tried a new battery, still happening. Had it for a while. It will work for two or three days than typically stop sometime in the morning. Then I adjust the time back and it continues on.

>>15909099
Just pop in a new movement

>>15908977
Vacheron Overseas in steel
Lange Odysseus in white gold
The GO Seventies Chronograph I posted in a previous thread

>>15909099
>>15909100
what this anon said. new movement shouldn't be too expensive, especially if it's a modern Timex they a dime a dozen

>>15909101
>Lange Odysseus
I really don't understand the appeal of this Frankenwatch.

It's the same old boring Lange case they use on 100% of all their watches with some weird pushers slapped on.

>>15909100
I'll take it to a local watch guy, I just wanted to know if it was common to fix beater watches. I would rather spend 20-30 to fix it then 50-100 for a new one, I kinda like the way it looks and just need a watch for practical use.

Thanks guys, have a nice day.

>want a Breitling, a Yema, and a relatively expensive G-Shock
>it would be a more sensible decision to just add everything up and add a little bit and get the cheapest Rolex
This hobby is killing me... well my financial situation is killing me, but fuck this dumb Rolex shit :(

>>15909105
>with some weird pushers slapped on.
And an ugly ass disproportionate bracelet.

>>15909107
At least you figured this out before you spent thousands on shitters. It takes some people decades to come to the same conclusion.

>>15909105
There's a lot to hate about this watch, it's maybe the ugliest ALS, but I've got to say that the day date is maybe the nicest design I've ever seen, symmetrical and integrated nicely into the dial design.

>>15909107
The lolex I want is 42k.
So no I will never have one I’d buy a fucking Jeep first.

It’s not really a money problem but I can’t in good conscience put 42k on a stupid watch.

>>15909105
this

>guy's we need a steel sports watch like the Royal Oak, Nautilus, Overseas, ...
>the case and lug integration is the most important thing in such a watch
>I know, let's use the exact same round dress watch case and lug design we use in all of our other watches!

Literal retardation.

>>15909136
>The lolex I want is 42k.
Ah yes, you want the "molten blob indices" watch.

>>15909105
I don't think it looks bad, I think it's unique compared with a lot of steel sport watch designs.

>>15909152
>I think it's unique
Fucking how?
That case is the exact same generic round case you see on literally all of their watches.

>>15909152
>>15909155
And the dial is as generic as it gets, with some very basic ray pattern along the circumference.

>>15909143
No the 36 day date white gold

>>15909152
The dial is fine but it looks stupid on the strap. It's so obvious it was meant to be on a bracelet but most people hate it.

>>15909166
both the bracelet and strap look like shit
actually scrap that. everything but the dial is fucking terrible design. it actually shocked me how badly they could fuck up when they came out with this shitshow of a watch

>>15909171
It looks much better in person and the movement is very good too. But yeah they fucked up the rest.

>>15909078
why does this exist
>>15909173
it's still a lange, I have no doubt the execution is still brilliant but goddamn wtf were they thinking

>>15909163
>36
You're probably the first ever woman on here lol

>>15908727
Would you let someone look at it up close?

>>15909166
On the bracelet it just looks like someone photoshopped a fuckhuge bracelet onto a dress watch.

The strap makes the watch just a little more balanced, but it's still a completely mangled mess.

>>15908898

There's no such thing as women, they're a myth like bigfoot or an underpaid jannie

>>15909206
It's different for vintage.

>>15909214
You're just grasping at straws.

>>15909215
Back then those sizes were in fashion.

>>15909215
36mm Rolexes look great unless you're a bodybuilder or clinically obese. Promise I'm not a limp-wristed noodle.

>>15909224
>36mm Rolexes look great unless you're a bodybuilder or clinically obese
Whatever you say.

>>15909224
>unless you're a bodybuilder or clinically obese
So, not American then.
Jokes aside, this trend of rising obesity must be at least in part to blame for the increasing watch sizes. That and insecure manchildren.

>>15908704
What are some options for a solid gold watch with a budget of $6k?

Im thinking of saving up for a sapphire speedy, probably the 40mm one
Do I buy secondhand or retail?

>>15909105
>small seconds on a “sports watch”
Fucking hell what a joke. This watch is vile.

>>15909238
Chinese Sea-gull watch factory tourbillions. Beijing watch factory makes some i think with thier fancy hand winding movement.
Tons of vintage Credor (seiko) stuff from Japan
Probably a decent amount of vintage swiss watches.
Not really sure about modern stuff. Probably some 10-15 year old omegas.

>>15909238
Save a bit more and buy a president.

>>15909226
This doesn't look bad

>>15909238
Tissot, Longines, used Omega

>>15909217
A patek 96 is just shy of 31mm and looks incredible in 2021. Think for yourself instead of buying into what looks good according to earthwalkers.

>>15909247
Was thinking about it, whole lot of money for a president these days though, not sure if I will ever be able to fork out the money for one

>>15909251
Tissot and Longines are pretty lame brands

>>15909224
Peak Arnold wore a 36mm something. Looks good to me.

Shut up retard, here's my brother, a big guy, wearing a 36 datejust, it doesn't look small, it's pretty much perfectly proportioned.

>>15909270
>perfectly proportioned
If you say so lmao

>>15909270
>a big guy,
He said the thing omg!

>>15909265
Even on a fat guy it looks good

>>15909303
About as good as a glossy tracksuit.

>>15909303
But a 40mm would look better.

This watch looks so damn good, better than almost any other sports chronograph on the market, it’s chronometer certified, and it has a column wheel and vertical clutch within an in-house movement. And it’s relatively cheap, available, and doubtlessly generously discounted.

But it’s fucking thick bros, 15.5mm.

Thoughts?

>>15909341
Why does it have diver's bezel

>buying shitters instead of getting in on GME and AMC
You faggots will never make it

Should I cop the chink fleiger?

>>15909238
Tfw you like modest gold chains bracelets and pendants but like next to no gold watches. Its hard to find some with just a bit of gold.

>>15909364
Very hard to buy foreign stock in my country. Best I can do is crypto but options are extremely limited, basically only the big coins.

>>15909370
Yes, I want one and you should buy one so you can let me whether it's worth getting. Either that or spam JOMW to get one for review.

>>15909386
A dial or B dial?
Also it's thick as fug

>>15909370
>hands not heat blued

DDDDDDROPPED

>>15909370
Yeah, it's easily thr best price for one, your alternatives are the addies/addiesdive version and the steel dive version. There is also the san martin version but that is specially a copy of the iwc flieger case so it has pretty long lugs. I guess if you are into titanium san martin has a titanium version for $160 but i like the escarpment time version the most.
Pic related is the san martin 39mm with 49mm lugs

>>15908803
I don't like any of their modern lineup, but they had some nice lines in the past.

>>15908898
If you want entry level, just go to eBay. Just don't be fucking retarded and buy the odd "Seiko presage quartz" model listed for 70 quid, you're not getting a deal. Compare the watch to sample photos before you buy, cheap fakes are always obvious.

>>15909391
eh?
The listing claims they are

>>15909391
They probably aren't heat blued but they look pretty damn good.

>>15908704
Yes

>>15909358
It’s part of a dive watch line Breitling has

Speaking of cheap Chinese fliegers,
I'm looking to buy a bronze San Martin NH35 one - dial A or B?

>>15909364
GME and AMC are dead. It was fun for like two days but it’s over

>>15909405
B in green
Or you should get the one with the pt5000 movement and get pic related version

>>15909413
>green
Really? I'm kinda iffy on that particular shade, maybe it's the lighting but it feels a bit too bright/saturated.

>>15909405
I always liked the A version the most

>>15909419
You might be right, it looks really good in this picture
Cont

>>15909428
But then it looks too bright in this one

Bros...
I lust for new watches, interesting designs and classic divers, but I always go back to my skx, its the perfect everyday beater
What keeps you buying and wearing different watches?

>>15909454
Nothing. I come here mainly just to laugh at the ugly shit people get excited for. I've got a few watches, and I wear the same one 99% of the time.

>>15909389
B
Always B

>>15909428
>>15909432
Looks like a casino watch

>>15909409
I just made 1k overnight lmao
HH money soon

>>15909454
I don't really. I have four "proper" Swiss watches, three of which I inherited and one that was a graduation present, and a few others. I mainly look at watches so I can figure out which I would buy for myself at an unknown future date when I accomplish something I feel worthy of commemorating with a watch purchase

>>15909491
That’s a lot of dicks.

>>15909491
You realize you didn't "make" any money right? The stock price just reflects what someone might be willing to pay for your shares you haven't "made" anything until you cash out. Best of luck to you anon would hate to see you become a bag holder when this all comes crashing down

I adore this bracelet

>>15909341
no fan of that type of bracelet

>>15909526
balticanon, how you liking it

>>15909526
The more moving parts, the more likely you are to have hair pulling. They do look nice, although I prefer more of a taper, 20mm down to 16mm is the best.

>>15909526
Looks great.

>>15909541
I feel like I'm gonna be content for quite a while with this
>>15909547
I haven't had that prob but I also don't feel it whenever it happens

>>15909526
When did you buy?

Are there any PVD titanium/steel bracelets that fit this watch?

>>15909364
Far too late for that.

>>15909573
Strapcode has a couple of black pvd bracelets.

>>15909389
A dial, the B's nicer for larping but I really dig the simple dial of the A. 12mm doesn't seem too bad, would've been nice if it was hand wind and thus a bit thinner but for the price it's not worth complaining. I especially like the crown, a flieger must have an onion or hammer crown.

>it's 1200 dollars

Why is it so hard to find a thin affordable dive watch under 39mm.

>>15909840
Why would you want that? It looks like pure dogshit. That printed dial is making my eyes hurt.

>>15909840
This literally just looks like a vostok shitter.

>>15909840
For 10% of that price you could get an Orient Mako which looks so much better.

>>15909816
this looks like a porno

>>15909840

>>15910044
I'm too poor for that and I don't like watches with a lug to lug of more than 48mm

>>15910056
Fair. Is there something about the blue ceramic that speaks to you in particular? I only ask because I personally don't like skeletonized watches very much and would gravitate more toward the titanium model with the flat dial which I think would probably age better.

Omega Aqua Terra or Tudor Prince day-date for first watch?

>>15909816
>>15910045
QRD om her

>>15910078

>>15910069
I like it the most out of the ceramic options. Plus you can pair it with the blue and the white rubber. Seems like a color that will always stay fresh. I can see it aging well, there's little room for visual improvement in my opinion.

>>15910088
It'll certainly catch eyes, but that whole style feels very much of this decade.

What lasts are simple designs. Look how gaudy all the fancy looking watch dials from the 60s look now.

>>15909713
I am quite confused. Why is this on a watch guys channel

>>15910078
Explorer.

>>15910078
Aqua terra all day
If you want a tudor get a black bay 58 or tudor royal, maybe the glamor double date

>>15910041
Absolute banger, love the strap

>>15910098
Skeleton watches are now part of almost all watch brand portfolios and have been around for decades. Most don't achieve what Zenith did with the Defy. The Royal Oak looks like crap compared to it. I think now that we are reaching perfection in the movement department, finishing and materials a lot of companies will revisit their skeleton options.

Hello. I'm looking for a watch similar to Rotary ref. GB05325/01. I need an analog watch, highly readable and which shows current date (day of the week, day of the month and the month). Preferably arabic numerals. I would buy this Rotary, but (unlike a bit pricier models) it is not SWISS MADE and I don't know how's the quality of those.
Any advice?
Budget $250

>>15910115
The accutron actually had an interesting movement with the little buzzing tuning fork, though. Most auto movements are very visually dull, and I'd personally go for an accutron with the coils hidden behind a proper dial any day of the week. I'd consider a display caseback on one though.

Ultimately a watch is designed to be read. A cluttered dial might be visually interesting, but it's also visually noisy. Perfection in movement is a good joke too, the vast majority of watches on the market are completely destroyed by your accutron there in terms of specs. And that's an outdated design that died 40 years ago.

>>15910121
ok, I have found the Adriatica A8280.2213QF. Seems interesting

What kind of packaging do Seiko's and Grand Seiko's come in? Leather or just normal boxes?

>>15910088
The ceramic will stay fresh essentially forever, unless it shatters. I like watches that look older with time, so it's just a matter of personal preference.

>>15910121
>highly readable
>day of the week, day of the month and the month
Who doesn't know what day if the week and month it is . You are objectively sacrificing readability for all this useless info.

Just get a date only watch anon. A day date at a push. You are limiting you options asking for a annual calendar sub$250

>>15910121
>swiss made
All of these watches are 99% made in china and then just some parts of them might be assembled in Switzerland. Plus, you're buying quartz anyway, anything you get will last 30 years at a minimum.

Day/date/month dials with hands are really hideous, though.

>>15910146
>>15910144
I know that the full calendar can mess up the readability, but for me Rotary really did a good job with that model
thanks for the advice

>>15910041
You have to accept the fact that 99% of people you come across will not know what this is and will frankly probably think it looks odd and/or cheap with the rubber strap. Obviously this isn't the case but a lot of normies associate strap material with quality/price. If you're ok with that, there shouldn't be anything stopping you. Do you have eyes on an actual watch at a dealer and do you know what kind of discount they're offering?

>>15910078
The Omega is the better option. Tudor watches are vomit inducing

Hey Guys, I recently started to look into watches and because I like sparkly stuff and mechanical stuff I am looking for a mechanic watch to improve my collection of mall watches.
I am looking for something shiny that has a case diameter between 36 and 42 MM. I would like to add a non quartz watch to my collection, budget is about 500 euro's. what would you guys recommend?

Heeellloooo aaand welcome...

Canadian here.
Thin wrist, have lanky arms.
Willing to spend up to $400 CADon a watch, I like large faces and would be going for a silver look, silver strap etc. The rest don't care too much about, at least point in the right direction

Recs?

>>15910365
SOOO there you have it
moans and niggles

Thoughts on the Movado Museum Classic? Thinking of buying one with my $GME gainz

>>15908704
I really don't like where Omega are heading with their current prices. Have been considering getting one, not a fucking chance anymore with what they are charging. They have went up like 20% in 2 years

You need a two tone sleezecore piece, look at quartz tissot stuff on jomashop.

>>15910501
The citizen, but you will have to replace the mineral crystal eventually if you are rough and really get it scratched up.
Some anon that posts here has had one as his beater for almost 10 years and it has held up fine other then him replacing the glass due to scratches.

>>15910514
will a screen protector fuck with the charging?

>>15910521
No but they are dumb and ugly. Just do worry about it and the new glass and having someone swap it would bw your maintenance after 10 years since the solar capacitor will last longer then that. It would only cost like $30 with paying someone to swap it.

>>15910440
I already have a vintage Seiko 5 and I put it on a NATO strap. Its pure class however I want something dressier. OK ciao

>>15910535
Should I trust well reviewed small shops, or just send it to the manufacturer, they have a repair centre in my country

>>15910549
If you are going to get a movado get the SE the 1881 or the museum classic maybe the bold fusion
I would suggest the 1881 or se
>>15910392

>>15908704
Help identifying this watch. Besides the obvious, I'm just wondering how old it is and the specific model

>>15910392
Get the sapphire model

Crystal swaps are really easy, i would trust just about any place that offers the service to do a fine job with it.

Probably the best navitimer on the market due to its quartz movement

>>15910581
>>15910574
I should add that it's basically impossible to get now. Trying to find a specific old citizen model is something of an exercise in madness.

>>15910692
>>why is the minutes dial only 30? how does that work for minutes over 30?
You then look at the 12hr totalizer to see if it's within the first 30 minutes or the second.

>>15910686

I'm getting 6-7k steps a day. How much do I need to move to charge this thing up fully?

>>15910685
>5
no. no it doesn't

>>15910694

I was afraid of that. Does the hour marker sweep or tick each half hour?

>>15910705
I'm not sure how it is with the daytona, but with the lemania 1873 it's a sweep for the hour. Pretty easy to tell which half hour it is to be honest.

>>15910694
>>15910709

What is the census on which is better? 60 or 30 min counters. On my Citizen it's 60 and I must admit it's hard to see the exact minute on the little dial.

>>15910714
One day Citizen is going to get an actual designer and I'm going to coom real hard, but goddamn that day is not today.

>>15910216
I wish they made more sterile variants and make their design more coherent. The hands are terrible and the date sucks.

>>15910230
I dont know but it would be fucking hilariüous if they release a homage with better fitting endlinks than the gen

>>15910750
I have the vintage diver which has the same case and bracelet and the end links fit pretty damn tight. I had to get springbar tweezers to get it off.

Nigga "if"? That's not a lot of money breh

>>15910882
Seiko made one that looks like a Daytona. Some colab with a Japanese department store. You might be able to find one still without too much markup.

>>15908977
The same watches I have now which are $100-$700 each. My money is better served elsewhere.

>>15909078
Oof.

>>15908710
I bought a second hand alpinist a few months back purely because the price was right but I never wear it. Should I just sell it or should I get a strapcode?

>>15908970
Why is everyone complaining about this? It's taking an overpriced Rolex, adding a few Zenith touches and making it actually available at a reasonable price. Like Tudor but better.

>>15910930
It just isn’t that great. Sell it, save the money for something better

>>15910916
Nice cufflinks. Nautical theming is sweet.

>>15910459
I've seen better aliex datejust knockoffs

>>15910930
Get a strapcode. Practically required for an alpinist desu. If you sell, at least wait a few years. They're already going for $300 more than they should be, I imagine the alpinist cult will pay more the longer you wait

>>15910932

When will the hedge funds short Alpinists?

>>15910977
Escapement time. They've got A and B dials. As well as the quartz anon mentioned. Specs are what you would find on a domestic microshitter at five times the price. Probably imported from the same damn factories.

>>15910987
Will do.

If you only have money for *one* luxury watch, is not getting a Rolex really dumb?

I would much prefer a Breitling or an IWC but, you know. Not to mention all the microbrands I like, like Monta or Yema or Bremont.

>>15910998
Get what you want, not what you "should" get. If you're buying a watch just to sell it, what's the point? Better investments with higher returns out there. You should be buying the watch because you really like it and want to wear it.

>>15911002
>If you're buying a watch just to sell it
No I'm buying it to actually wear it as my only watch (with maybe a really cheap beater) but the stigma of being "not Rolex" and not having one at an advanced age is just too strong, it's so dumb and I know it's dumb.

>>15910998
IWC is a joke, breitling at least has some designs that don't look like every generic mall brand. Depends on why you are buying a watch, if it's just for you and you never intend to flip it get wat you want. If you want other people to recognise you have an expensive/nice watch, and the chance to sell it to get most of your money back out of it later on, go with Rolex.

>>15910685
>>15910700
flick your wrists more
i dont mean like swinging, that would be tiring
like turning an invisible screwdriver
thats my habit with automatics anyway
nevertheless personal experience wise my seiko5 dies 1.5x faster than my orient tristar even though they should be pretty much comparable in all aspects
/shrugs

>>15910685
>>15911029

I've put on a seiko5 in the morning, made coffee and sat down at the computer and the thing will die for half an hour while I'm wearing it. Gave it a good shake and put it down to test it and it still has a 40 hour reserve it just needs a lot of jostling to get there.

>>15911008
Unironically the only luxury watch brands that really impress me anymore are Rolex and Grand Seiko.

>>15910998
>If you only have money for *one* luxury watch, is not getting a Rolex really dumb?
It depends on what you buy instead. Rolex and Zenith both make worthy sportswatches. For some more refinement you can go Jaeger-LeCoultre which is at this point virtually beyond reproach. They’ve been quietly churning out masterpieces at shockingly low prices for many years now.

>>15911049
Haha yeah just buy the $200k watch your not poor rite

>>15911057
You can buy a modern JLC for $5k used.

Tudor Black Bay 41. Good choice or just Tudor cashing in with a cheap ETA movement?

>>15911100
It's both. I'd go for the 36mm though.

Swiss watches are like the special olympics. They're all retarded. There isn't much point picking a "most" because that changes week to week as the next awful decision comes out.

Get the Citizen. I've had it almost 20 years by the way, I'm not sure exactly but I got it in the early 00s.

I wouldn't bother with a screen protector, it will look shit. I swapped my own crystal using a crystal press from Aliexpress and a crystal from ebay.

They're charging 2k for an eta diver lmao.

>>15911179
aliexpress has $1 watches, ebay if you sort by price 0.01 to 0.99 its possible to get one for a penny but you need some luck, they don't always go for such a low price.

>>15908772
I dislike most watch youtubers but I theory I shouldve liked this guy more cause he's a bit less hipstery and gay than most others, but I still hated him for some reason. Possible causes:

> annoying diction
> As others have stated, rolex fanboy
> First video I saw of his was him crying about being accosted by some ethnic gentlemen in london for his Submariner, so his solution? go buy a "less flashy" rolex, like an explorer, instead of going and buying a 9mm on the britbong black market
> I also don't give a fuck what kind of coffee youre drinking today

Only channels I like are Watch Finder, Timeless Watch Channel (cause hes an alcoholic). Teddy Bald-ass-hair and TGV are annoying but acceptable if theres nothing else to watch.

>>15908793
I'd rather wear a seiko than a fake watch, desu

>>15908970
Why does Rolex seem to "own" every fucking design in the public eye? Like the daytona is a ripoff of earlier chronos by heuer and breitling.

>>15909454
Just wear the SKX then. Watches are a shitty hobby cause they are overpriced and half the time they arrive and disappoint you.

For me its sunglasses. I have a pair of trusty old acetate wayfarers I've worn for 10 years. I've bought fancier glasses (Dita, Oliver Peoples pre-lux, etc.) but I'm always worried about damaging them, so I resort to my trusty old shades. I've been around the world with them, not worried about getting shot for them, and they fit my face perfectly. I`m always worried about damaging my fancy pairs so they stay in a drawer and never get any use.

>>15909832
Torture them, leave them disfigured for life

>>15909832
use a vpn and make nasty escort ads with their number online. then lay back and enjoy that their phone is blowing up with weirdos

>>15910679
Diver 65 is a good design but only 100m of wr, so fails as a dive watch.

Aquis has an integrated bracelet, makes it near impossible to get aftermarket straps.

All their watches seem to have see thru casebacks, which is out of place on tool watches with limited decoration on the movements.

For the prices they are currently charging, get a omega or a breitling. Which oris are you looking at
