that vincero shitter better have been a gift from your tragically dead wife or something

First for NOT A HOMAGE YOU ROLEX FANBOY

>>15912671
These pieces are really cool. And it's great they are easily serviceable with their basic 2824s. Thought I couldn't ever see myself wearing one.

>>15912678
Gift from my zoomer nephew, actually.
He must follow some youtuber with a vincero sponsorship.
It's actually okay looking, despite its case being too large and thick.

>>15912673
The Seiko Arnie gives your collection the BASED status.

First for ZENITH HAS A RICH HISTORY OF UNIQUE DESIGNS

My humble collection....

>>15912700
pretty based ngl

>>15912700
>4 identical Seikos
For what purpose?

>>15912700
Now that's fucking based

>>15912673

How do you like the Phoibos?

>>15912700
Extremely autistic, but in a based way.

Hey kings, any suggestions for:
>Smaller Breitling models?
>Sub-41mm Chronographs?

>>15912673
Why do you have 20 poorfag entry level watches instead of 2 or 3 nice ones? I assume you’re not 19 anymore.

... out of 10

>>15912673
How are you liking the seamaster on the bracelet?
I'll probably pick up 1-2 watches this year, seriously eyeing that 2018 seamaster on rubber.

>>15912764
I like it, it's solid and bulky, and the engineer's bracelet goes well with the case.

>>15912774
Half of them are gifts and hand-me-downs.
I'm now done with buying shitters and beginning to save up for the bigboy watch brands.

SOTC. What would you add next?

>>15912771

the 806 1959 re-issue is 41mm.

and the breitling transocean chronograph is 38mm.

>>15912789
unironically a fleiger

>>15912673

Its so redundant. It seems like you have ok taste and dreadful impulse control

>>15912793
Thanks dude!
Do you know of anything with the superocean look?

>>15912793

>>15912678
>wife buying you a vincero
>her death being a "tragedy"

>>15912789
Are you the anon from a while back posting about getting the tag with a bonus or something.
How do you like? I usually think all tags are hideous dogshit but the aqua racer is kinda cool.

>>15912775
The Seamaster is definitely the current centerpiece of the collection. I'm a bracelet guy so naturally went with that. Could always switch it out with a Nato strap if I ever get bored.

>>15912797
What would you recommend I took out of the collection?

>>15912789
Get a nice Nomos, i would reccomend the minimatik, but the Tangente in 35 or maybe 38 will do as well.
The Archimede outdoor in 38 or the 1950-3
The stowa marine 36
The Limes aviator

>>15912801

it’s a Ducky, great keyboard

>>15912798

i think most super ocean models are above 42mm unfortunately.

>>15912817
Yep that's me. I'm loving the tag desu. Not a bracelet guy at all but it really hits the point between being super comfortable, but still feeling very durable. I think the tag is perfect size for me as well, 41mm and ~12mm thick so fits under the shirt collar easily.

Yeah man I'm not a fan of most other tags either, not even the monaco, but the aquaracer line is nice, especially the steel bezel ones imo.

>>15912829
Thanks for the suggestions, I've looked at nomos, love the ahoi neomatik.

The nomos seem to have super long lugs though which I'm not a fan of, do you own any and can you speak to how they wear etc? I've never even seen one in person.

Thoughts on piece? And please post your Swiss watches.

>>15912822
Whatever interests you the least. I mean there are 7 divers. Some are cool like the arnie but do you really wear them all.

Maybe its just me feels like you have a huge selection but so little variety.

>>15912839
That's why i suggested the minimatik, reasonable lugs.
They kind of make sense based on the original early designs where the watches had fixed lugs and were designed to use with a strap, they make less sense now, but they look okay if you get a smaller 36-38 mm watch.
Pic related is some classic versions with fixed lugs.

>>15912842
Couldn't afford a gmt master II?

>>15912837
I think there is just something undeniably cool about a white dialed diver/sports watch.

The steel bezel looks good too. Hopefully it doesn't scratch too easy. I think my clumsy ass would fuck it up too quickly.

>>15912700
What the fuck is wrong with you Soiko faggots? You should own maybe one (1) Seiko as a mega-beater for bumming it or for changing the oil or something.

>>15912673
>hmmmm do I want 200 cheap shitters or 2 or 3 nice durable and beautiful pieces

>>15912864
No, if I'm going to buy a Rolex, it's going to be a 5 digit. As for buying a GMT MASTER or GMT MASTER II, I didn't see my self daily wearing that because it isn't low profile. 16570 is under the radar.

>>15912879
Buying a rolex to go under the radar is like a celebrity wearing sunglasses to not get spotted by the paparazzi.

Everyone knows you want the attention you just don't want to be obvious.

anyone here got a replica? im considering getting a replica omega or something, maybe a rolex if i see one i like

>>15912890
Do you think the average person gives a fuck what someone else wears on their wrist? No one cares. I bought it for myself, bud. I just said "under the radar" because it looks slick. come on.

>>15912890
>tfw just want a cool watch because I think they are cool and not because I want attention

>>15912774
>>15912703

because he can, you retard
theres no correct way of collecting
there are collectors with hundreds of shitters

>>15912864
>>15912890
Niggers like you are so boring. Damn.

>>15912871
>would i want to fuck all the women in the world or just be cucked by one?

>>15912922
hopefully he grows out of it. There's much more to owning a small solid, respectable collection than a bloated collection with garbage pieces. "because he can" = poor excuse.

>>15912931
sorry, is it his collection or yours?
it's nice to have variety
not everyone likes to have a pitiful choice of 3 watches to choose from

Bow down to the Shipp God
craigshipp.com/grandseiko

>>15912865
Been scratching the hell out of the underside of the bracelet when using my laptop etc but the crystal/bezel have been immaculate so far. Not too concerned about it because this one's sentimental for me, keeping for life.

>>15912934
let's be frank. Variety is good but what's the point of having no diversity? It's his collection but if he could purge the non essentials it would be better! Do you think that's a meaningful collection? Vincero? Give me a break.

I like that it can get wet

SRPA21

>>15912960
can you not read? the vincero is from his nephew, its a gift amd has value

are you a joyless miser with no family?
>lE mEaNiNgFuL cOlLeCtIoN meme

>>15912978
no, I've got family. I'm just very opinionated. Didn't bother to read all the posts guy. Vincero is still dogshit but it's a gift so what can you do?

Should I try to low-ball a guy with a Heuer Camaro that needs serviced and from what I can tell has incorrect hands? I'm the same retard who hasn't had his Heuer Autavia for ages. At least this thing has a common ValJEW movement and not a Caliber 11/12

>>15912960
sometimes people like having stuff, just because
but could there be more variety? yes
theres like 4 gshocks 7 divers and totally 0 field watches
but most of it is low cost watches, so... whatever, i guess?

If you could keep one, Club or Orion?

>>15913084
The orion to be honest.

>>15913084
the orion wins by a hair here
though i'd rather sell both and get a Nomos Tetra + Oris pointer date

>>15913084

Nomos cases still look so cheap.

>>15913084

>>15913106
this is why people get sick of pure autos
you are never going to reach max winding in one unless you just stick it in an auto winder

you could swap it out for a nh36 with some fiddling. Its not expensive to do and you'll get access to handwinding.

I just like it, bros.

Nth for couldn't afford a Boflex

>>15913084
Neither, honestly

>>15913132
Congrats anon! Looks great. How do you like it?

>>15913132
I don't get the dial, reminds me of washed out denim. What's the actual point of it?

Also, the huge hour markers + the numerals = "the dial is too big how do we fill it?!"

Other than that, love the watch. I especially like the lugs, they look like the old Speedy lugs, very timeless.

>>15913189
*to add to this - whoever thinks fauxtina is shit, you can clearly see it's not on watches like this. As long as the rest of the design isn't too modern so that it looks extremely fake, it looks great. Just look at those hands.

>>15913189
>the huge hour markers + the numerals

the numbers are the same size or smaller compared to explorer 1 or those panerai watches
why is this a complaint?

>>15913195
Because they're paired with the huge markers whereas on those they replace the markers entirely.

>>15913201
err...ya i see
but i think its fine, visually
i have a slightly distain for the fauxtina
at least theres no date window to ruin it
i score it 7.6/10

>>15913207
>at least theres no date window to ruin it
I do agree with this.

>>15913189
theres also a demin one with white indices and that comes on a demin strap

>>15913215
Omega absolutely nailed it.

I'm not really into blue dial watches, but that's stunning.

>>15913163
No complaints at all. Really just a near perfect watch, with the only "negatives," like fauxtina, making me like it that much more.
>>15913189
The dial comes across as that super brushed look only in photos or real bright and sunny situations. It's very understated irl.

>>15913234
>I'm not really into blue dial watches, but that's stunning.

Can't make fun of a railmaster, it's too chad

>>15912673
Ooh, a Seiko railroad watch. I've been eyeing the later models (6110 movement with center seconds and hacking) lately on Yahoo auctions. Also some of the other vintage Seiko pocket watches, they tend to have nice and rare movements and less demand than wrist watches. There are even ones with the 36 000 bph Lord Marvel movement that don't even advertize it.

>>15912789
Personally I'd go chronograph next, but I know some people aren't into them.

>>15912789

Why are some men so obsessed with watches? Is it mental illness?

Weird. Check for scales and a cloaca when you're down there.

>>15913639
>$150 for this

>>15913644
Honestly it looks pretty epic, it's very retro. If a $500 tool watch can cost $5000 nowadays, I don't see why a $15 watch couldn't cost $150.

>>15913648
this is almost 1/3 of the price

>>15913655
That looks like it's from the 90s, the Timex looks like it's from the 60s-70s.

Wat?

Thoughts on the Hamilton Khaki field watch? This would be my first watch other than my F-91W

does anyone have that guide to modifying a casio f91w that makes it more clean? was posted here a few weeks ago cant find it

>>15913688
Interested. Personally though I like how much of a clusterfuck it is.

>>15913678
and? function wise its much better

the a1000 is steel and its $100
the citizen ana-digi temps is steel, come with physical hands and a bunch of sensors and its only $100 more at $250
basically the entire Timex Q line is a scam, look good but bottom barrel stats

>>15913681
>hammy
>quartz
>$300
its fine but what a waste
hamilton is actually one of the better deals in the swatch group
just top up another $50 more and you get one of the few pure handwinding mechanicals at this price range, and an ETA to boot
the autos have a different look and are also quite nice

or you can just get a boldr venture for the exact same price
full titanium body and 200WR with seiko nh35 inside

Thoughts?

>>15913699
>just top up another $50 more and you get one of the few pure handwinding mechanicals at this price range, and an ETA to boot
Which ones are you talking about? I just made 10 grand in profit on GME and want to buy myself a reasonably nice watch. No desire to impress anyone, just something I can enjoy myself. It has to be durable though, the sort of thing I can take with my while travelling or camping.

>>15913681
if you want quartz, hamilton also has a 34mm version which is more traditional field size
otherwise their field mechanicals, glycine, orient or [insert microbrand here] is a much better deal

>>15913710
I was looking at these, I really like how clean they are. I do really like the date display of the one I originally posted, though, since I frequently forget the date

hnnnghhh that green

you can also consider a zelos, marathon msar , seiko alpinist sarb017,glycine airman, boldr expedition
all im saying is that its an "okay choice" but kinda...meh
>>15913705
i like it and it works but christmas is over
>>15913734
ww2 field watches were 32mm
a field watch should be small and not hinder your movement or get caught in webbing

>>15913550
What reference is the blue dial? Need a new watch

fake and why?

>>15913748
Cope

>>15913761
One of these three.

The GS for the memes, the unique look without being extravagant, and the external finishing.

The Overseas for the design, the traditional Swiss finishing, and the brand heritage.

The Urban Jurgensen for the god-tier hands, dial, lugs, and movement.

Not really sure how to decide rn.

I subscribe to Esquire magazine and they do “The Big Watch Book” every year. I read my first issue this year and although it doesn’t strictly teach you about watches, I did find it fascinating. I’ve always found them interesting in terms of how precise and intricate they are, but obviously they are prohibitively expensive to actually own. The cheapest one I saw and liked the look of was a Rolex, I think it was the Oyster Perpetual, or something like that (I realise it may be more specific than that).

How much are watches susceptible to “paying for the name”? For example in audio I know that Bose are absolutely not worth the money now and even though they might be good, there’s a big element of paying more because it’s Bose.

Based on looks the ones I found my most appealing were Rolex, Omega, Vacheron Constantin and Longines. I also liked some Patel, but I can forget about those.

If I allowed myself a budget of £5k and just kept putting it aside for as long as it took would that be a good amount of money? I realise that may not be enough for some of those brands, but unless I get a significant pay rise that’s about the most I could ever justify spending with my current wages.

>>15913769
not a rolex guy and i hate rolex but
shitty alignment on indices and link gaps
what looks to be spilled glue underneath the cyclops
cyclops should magnify the date much more

>>15913769
The T on the dial next to the Swiss means it has tritium as luminescent material, the markers clearly don't have any tritium on them, im not even sure if Rolex even had this colour scheme when they were doing tritium dials, the pip on the bezel looks funny, and the date font appears to be worn, not something I've ever really seen before

>>15913770
That's OK bro

>>15913775
Buy a $300 watch and donate the rest to charity

>>15913783
I already have a Casio FW91, should I give £290 to charity?

>>15913787
Yes

>>15913774
Fuck off parasite.

>>15913793
haha what?

>>15913639
based

how do I know if I really like the watches I like or if I've just watched enough youtube videos and reddit posts to the point where I like what everyone else says it's a good watch?
like at first I thought that the skx007 or the citizen promaster where the ugliest watches ever but now after months I like them and considering buying them

>>15913800
I waited a bit over 6 months before buying. Sleep on it then see how you feel as soon as you wake up and repeat.

>>15913775
£5k will buy you some very good Omegas, otherwise it’s a bit of an awkward sum. It’s not enough for Rolex and not at all enough for the HH brands, but you can get some very good watches for half and less.
Longines, Oris, Tudor to name a few high quality brands with heritage at £2-3k

>>15913800
>skx007
overrated shitter
>C. promaster

>>15913775
>>How much are watches susceptible to “paying for the name”?
You can get a Chinese tourbillon for around $100, they normally cost $15k-$5000k from "respectable" brands.

https://classymencollection.com/blogs/mens-fashion-guide/cheapest-tourbillon-watch-in-the-world

So what do you think.

And $5k doesn't even give you an "I made it" Rolex that's the baseline entry level luxury watch that shows the lower classes that you're not a complete failure.

>>15913831
In European watches, tourbillons come with watches with movements that are entirely hand finished.

>>15913831
>tourbillon
thats not a tourbillon, thats a balance wheel disguised as a tourbillon
you can literally see the lever used for regulation there, its a balance spring
its not a 'triple axis" or whatever they wrote in that blog lmao

the cheapest no brand single axis chinese tourbillon is around 700usd
seagull has those at 1k usd
and a double axis from seagull is like 20k
>>15913835
>hand finished
those cost like 300k

>>15913820
Yeah I've been waiting for around 3 years now and the money for the same watches I liked on the very first month I "got into" the hobby still hasn't materialized.

>>15913838
>>hand finished
>those cost like 300k
No they don't.
Hand made, maybe.

>>15913840
find me a "hand finished" tourbillon under 100k
just slapping parts from china together is not hand finishing

>>15913743
I don't know much about the difference between mechanical and quartz. The deciding factor for me would be noise, for a number of reasons. One of them being that when I go camping I like to hang my watch from the ceiling, just above my head. So I would prefer whichever mechanism is most quiet. I also value the quiet and get annoyed by anything that disturbs it.

>>15913842
>100k
But first you said 300k.

>>15913828
Thanks, it was only a hypothetical amount really. I think on the whole I prefer Omega to Rolex anyway, but just going through the magazine the cheapest one I saw and liked was a Rolex.

>>15913831
That's kind of how I felt regarding your last point, I know there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but if it takes me twenty years to save for a really expensive watch, have I really "made it"?

>>15913853
No, you're just a posturing poorfag then, getting toys that rich kids get for their high school graduation and every other event in their lives, that mean absolutely nothing to them, but it's something that you'll spend most of your working life coveting and treasuring like Bashmachkin with his raincoat, as it is the only tangible connection you have to the "real" world you aspire to live in, and "real" people you aspire to mingle with, but have only really seen from the outer side of the bulletproof glass of the shop window. They always looked so happy. So why aren't you?

>>15913848
i said those cost like 300k
hand finishing means every component is hand finished, ie polished by hand
the 15k tag huehue slapped together doesnt count
just polishing the exterior case by hand doesnt count
just polishing certain parts doesnt count

if you want true hand finished they will cost you around the 300k range from HH and independents

>>15913858
That's kind of what I mean though, I'm not interested in saving for my working life to prove myself to imaginary people. If it's that out of reach I'd just give up now, but if I can save for a couple of years and get a basic watch that I really like and offers something I can get a lot of enjoyment from I don't see the issue with that. Plus my understanding is that if it's well looked after it's rarely going to lose money if I want to sell it for some reason.

>>15913860
A Vacheron tourbillon finished to Geneva Seal standards for instance is just a hair over $100k.
Every single part of the movement has hand finishing.

>>15913769
They didn't make bluesy subs like that in steel

>>15913863
>(((geneva seal)))

yet the japanese do it to a much better standard for 10k

total kek

>>15913868
>yet the japanese do it to a much better standard for 10k
Externally? In a way.
No Japanese watch costing $10k has anything close to a Geneva Seal-finished movement though.

>>15913769
The date magnification is already a big giveaway and at first I thought it looked like an invicta lol.

>>15913862
>Plus my understanding is that if it's well looked after it's rarely going to lose money if I want to sell it for some reason.
Only if it's a Rolex or a Speedmaster, every other brand goes down.

>>15913775
>Patel

>>15913845

>>15913775
If you buy a $5k watch then just DON'T READ ANYTHING ABOUT WATCHES EVER AGAIN, because you'll go insane when you see what kind of variety there is and how much money you'd have to have to get a handful of watches that you really like instead of the bland noob trap Rolex/Omega bullshit you got.

>>15913870

this is a 5.5k GS

>In 1968, Seiko’s delegation sent 226 of their production Caliber 45s to both Neuchatel and the sister trials at the Geneva Observatory. These movements swept the top 7 mechanical places at Geneva (the top 3 spots were all experimental quartz movements- more on that later), while at Neuchatel 73 examples received the observatory’s highest rating in competition against experimental Swiss one-offs. Even more amazingly, those 73 Caliber 45s went on sale to the public the following year as the limited-edition Astronomical Observatory Chronometer, a step beyond Girard-Perregaux’s achievements in the previous years. After over a century of unchallenged dominance, the Swiss establishment had been soundly beaten on their own turf.
>Neuchatel’s response to the Japanese upstarts was swift and decisive. All competitive testing at Swiss observatories was to be put on indefinite hold, depriving Seiko of the chance to defend their 1968 results and leaving a 40-year gap in observatory testing. When chronometer testing was finally resumed at Neuchatel in 2007, two caveats were added to the rulebook- firstly, only mechanical movements were eligible to compete, and second all components must be manufactured in Europe. Never again would the traditional Swiss industry be humiliated by a quartz watch or a so-called outsider.

>when the japs BTFO the swiss so badly they literally cancelled their competition AND also banned the japs from competing

>>15913229
>>15913467
FAILmaster, am I right lads?

>>15913888
A Geneva Seal movement will have hand-polished bevels, a hairspring handmade from round wire, small parts like screws that are black polished and beveled by hand, hand-laid Geneva striping, a rotor with three types of hand finishing (media blasting, polishing, chiseling), ...
That GS has none of this.

GS does sell watches with hand-finished movements, but the cheapest is 50k.

>>15913898
so you are saying the japanese do it better at half the cost?

>>15913900
The Geneva Seal movement I just posted is from a 20k Overseas.

The 100k was for a tourbillon with hand finishing.

>>15913106
>>15913613
If I shake my 5 a little (30s max) when I pick it up, and wear it for a few days in a row, it easily lasts for the full advertized power reserve. Do you people move at all?

Do what I did; build up a folder with models that you think look nice, either from watching youtube or browsing forums and websites.
Check back a week later and pick out ten watches that you like the most, then check back another week later and pick out five from those ten.
Start your collection from there.

I'm not an expert but that bracelet have fucking wide gaps, expensive watches usually have or should have really tight bracelets, no gaps when attached to the case, so the bracelet is non rolex or the watch is fake.

>>15913906
I fully conceded this when it comes to external finishing.
I was talking about the movement finishing,

>>15913525
Definitely in the market for a chrono! after one that isn't too big Lug to lug or over 14mm though so my options are fairly limited

>>15913845
quartz analog tick loudly, especially cheap ones (timex is notorious for this )

mechanicals have a "heartbeat" but its not audible at all unless you literally press your ear against the watch

cheap automatics also have rotor noise but that only happens when you move it, obviously.

a digital watch like a gshock would be totally slient

>>15913839
>>15913927
I could buy a Patek with change to spare from 3 years of waging kek.

>>15913939
Good for you.

>>15913936
>mechanicals have a "heartbeat" but its not audible at all unless you literally press your ear against the watch

It depends on the watch,I have a mechanical that is extremely loud, you can hear it from 60cm away, its not a diver, a watch on the dressier side of things, plexiglass and a press back.I guess a watch with tight casebacks, high water resistance and a strong glass will make less sound than a watch that is not that waterproofed.

>>15913936
Ok. I like the look of the mechanical Khaki, I just hope it isn't loud

>>15913947
>I have a mechanical that is extremely loud, you can hear it from 60cm away, its not a diver, a watch on the dressier side of things, plexiglass and a press back

vintage...?

>>15913839
Which watches?

>>15913953
you'll be fine
not sure why you *want* it to be that quiet anyway
i think i will freak out if its too quiet and im alone in the tent in the wilderness
might start hearing....things thats I rather not hear

>>15912842
I hate these things with a burning passion. But it looks good with grey stuff anon

>>15913965
I can understand why someone would like the sound of a mechanical watch now that I think about it, but a loud quartz would drive me mad. I'm just very sensitive to sound.

>>15913109

>>15913979

>>15913959
Yes, I like its sound. Also I have read that the Max Bill watch which is somewhat similar shaped, has also a really loud ticking.

Which president has the best watch named after them?

should I get a dresskx?

>>15914019

>>15914019
Yeah, I actually like them now that i know they are slightly smaller than the bezel version.

>>15914019
They seem pretty nice to be honest. I saw the other day that Mahk from Long Island Watch is going to sell third-pay fluted bezels for them that look really nice.

>>15914031
Nice shitpost, literally.

>>15914076
Nice, post some pictures when you get it on the watch

>>15913084
I don't know why but the only nomos that I like is one of the cheapest ones, the nomos club 36(ref 701 or 703).
That off white dial with those orange accents really give a warm tone to the watch without looking childish like in some of their watches.
The basic white dials with the minimalist look are kinda overplayed with all of these minimalist trends in the last decade.

>>15913763
that's the grand seiko seasons collection, just google it.

Please tell me why I shouldn't get a unimatic on their next drop.

It's either this or a lorier. I want a toolish diver nothing else really speaks to me

>>15914119
Datejust 41 with smooth bezel

>>15914119
RAILMASTER

>>15913463
What model is the second from the top?

>>15914158
whats the deal with unimatic?

their design, dials, case shape is really plain + straightforward and they are asking $600+++ for a nh35a
printed instead of applied indices and zero bracelet options (wut..?)

at that price range the obvious "microbrand to beat" is Zelos and the differences in detail + finishing + value are visible

>>15913725
I tested my snk803 and it lasted 47h 30m.

>>15914158
They are a bit pricey for an nh-35 but not outrageously so. If you like the angled cases you should look at zelos but their watches are typically much more loud, especially the dials. The horizon is in stock right now and it has a great case size and compact lug to lug

>>15914181
Maratac / County comm

>>15914187
the unimatic is a design worth purchacing while zelos makes tacky shit from a parts bin. Zelos is full of awful details and has 0 value to me because I'd never wear such a thing

>>15914196
$600 for a nh35 is really high
especially without bracelet
you are essentially buying just the watch head (you can disregard the aliexpress nato the unimatic comes on...)
in comparison the zelos mako comes with textured dial, applied indices, like 10? colourways with individually colour matched datewheels, solid links with fitted solid ends, top notch clasp, wrapped up in a leather watch roll inside a solid wooden box, and its just $500

these things sell out for a reason

>>15914202
>design worth purchasing
top kek
enjoy getting jewed with your """""made in italy""""" (((minimalistic))) fashion watch
$600 and they dont even give you a bracelet lmao

FYI thats an elabore grade ETA with a sapphire display back

>>15914181
Which one? The diver with the ceramic bezel? Maratac SR35, it's the stainless case gen 1 with an aftermarket vollmer engineer bracelet. I believe all the current gen ones are titanium.

https://youtu.be/wVOXZgjWcxw

Today I will remind them.

>>15913685
That loo,s very cool.

>>15913761
Yema flygraf m1. Been calling to me for a hot minute.

>>15914187
I always thought they came on a bracelet, re-reading the page looks like I was wrong.

You're definitely paying over the odds for design. I was slowly coming to terms with that.

>>15914196
Zelos looks cool I'm not sure if they are a little loud for my taste I really like the angular looks. I think they is what draws me to the lorier more than Baltic.

Honestly I'd really like a halios but I'm not sure i want to deal with the bullshit Olympics of purchasing one. I just want an angular well finished diver.

>>15913761

2 handed handwind-only higher grade movement from beijing watch factory, oil-pressed guilloche, blued screws with gold chatons and engraved decorated movement

theres 3 colourways and 1 peacock one, a nod towards VCMs

>>15914289

why do people want to ruin perfection with the cyclops?

How do two-handers work if you wanted to set the exact time down to the second? Do the seconds start from 0 when you pull out? Or you can’t and it doesn’t really matter anyway?
Disclaimer: I’m not a precision autist, just interested in how it works.

>>15913716
green you say?

>>15912671
What fucking watch is this?

>>15914318
it doesnt really matter if seconds hands arent present, doesnt matter if it has hacking, you cant see it anyway

many traditional dress watches are two handers or small seconds because its assumed you are at a place/function where "the exact time" is not that important and elegance/design takes priority over function

>>15913858
You are a posturing poorfag if you spend your firs money on a jewlex.
The only acceptable evolution should be Seiko -> Omega -> A. Lange & Söhne -> Patek / Vacheron / Audemars/Jager -> and only if you like higher end weird stuff, Dewitt, Bovet or Richard Mille.

if you go for a rolex the moment you have 10k you are both poor and a fucking tasteless turk.

>>15914361

>>15914362

What are some nice dress quartz watches that are in the range of $300-$1000 I could get? Something classical with an interesting dial.

Hey guise I tried grinding down my clasp for absolutely no reason. Why does it flop around now?

>>15914362
Junghans, Tissot, Seiko, Stowa and Hamilton make good watches for that kind of money.

>>15914362
sarx055 'baby snowflake'

best is subjective
most elegant is subjective
therefore I can only give you subjective suggestions
its either this or the Zelos Nova Linen
both on the assumption that you are not a wristlet
if you are a wristlet, probably some 34mm thing from stowa or junghans

>>15914313
its because the people who buy cyclops are thugs or pencil pushers

>>15914362
Look around and find out what you like, i would suggest looking at Hamilton on jomashop lots of stuff like jazzmasters in that price range if you just want a fairly standard nice looking watch.
https://www.jomashop.com/hamilton-watch-h38525141.html

>>15914382
Based. I opted for the 035, but the snowflake looks fantastic.

>>15914389

>>15914380
>>15914382
>>15914386
>>15914313
Thanks I'll take a look.
Is 6.5" in wristlet territory?

>>15914396
"Thanks. It's a <insert brand here> and it costs <insert price here>"

>>15914401
Almost. If you want to get a dresswatch I recommend you go for something between 36 and 38mm.

>>15914396
"Not as much as you, bby" *wink*

>>15914401
anything below 7" (the average) is wristlet land
embrace it
t. wristlet

take a look at the stowa marine 36/ junghans maxbill handwind 34 or something

>>15914368
You should be able to get a really cool high accuracy quartz piece for that budget. Look at the swatch group stuff, Hamilton, mido, certina.
If you want something unique this micro brand is making a linen dial series and offers a high accuracy quartz option
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jrwarchetype/the-archetype-the-linen-dial-reimagined

>>15914401
Like the other guy said look for 36-38mm watches it makes things a little harder but there are still plenty of options.

>>15914333
Ressence Type 3

>>15914392
Not even an effay man but thanks.

>>15914368

Citizen are probably the most elegant and feature-rich watches that sit within that budget. On the very high end there's one with an (electronic) minute repeater but nonetheless anything of theirs with a perpetual calendar would be worthwhile.

>>15914478
disgusting

>>15914318
The watch continues running when you are done setting the minute hand (technically it's running while you're doing that too, the hand is just uncoupled from the wheel that spins it). You need hacking to precisely set a watch with a second hand, because you can't spin it by hand due to how the mechanism works. No such problem with a two-hander, the seconds are arbitratry without any indicator. How precisely you can set or even read the minute hand is another question entirely.

Why would I respond to, or even acknowledge the existence of someone who fails to understand that discussing the price of one's posessions has no place in polite society?

>>15914396
"More than yours"

>>15914492
Same reason posters should not respond to od acknowledge people in /wt/ who think a watch's price reflects its value or someone's ability to appreciate and enjoy it. You shouldn't. Lots of fags ITT foam at the mouth hoping people would ask how much their watch is worth though.

>>15914499
>who think a watch's price reflects its value
What else do you think is there lmfao, find me that $1k grail with the best finishing and movement and brand recognition please, I'll buy it right now.

My collection is 2 bambinos and a kamasu desu

>>15914504
That's the issue, something's value is more than its monetary worth. It's subjective for the most part. I won't knock someone who values the things you listed above all else, but those who knock someone else's definition of value can fuck right off.

>>15914504
>brand recognition

>>15914514
>>That's the issue, something's value is more than its monetary worth
Nice, so what you're saying is that not only they gouge you for the actual value they gouge you even more for the "value" value, what the fuck does that even tell you except that you have to have even more money to get something half-decent?

Tell me some "alternative" value that doesn't cost fucking MONEY and that you didn't pull out of your ass (i.e. most people will agree with it).

>>15914396
“Enough.”

>>15914396
More than your car.

>>15914517
Look up the ddfinition of value (as a noun). We're not thinking on the same page. An example being an old relatively shitty watch worth little in terms of money. Anon's father passed it on to him and he really loves the way it looks and feels. That watch is thus extremely valuable. Other anon does not agree, which is fine, but can fuck off when he goes on to tell anon his watch has no value and is a piece of shit.

>>15914533
>That watch is thus extremely valuable.
Nope. Ask random 10 people on the street if it is.

>>15913639
There seems to be some quality control issues with these "Made in china" beasties. The most common was the face being slightly off on the horizontal axis. Here's an example pic pinched from somewhere else.

because you are paying for soul
a mechanical watch is a live thing
you moving (your life energy) feeds the watch, it is dependent on you, its like a little pet strapped to your wrist
when you stop moving the watch will die
its very romantic and you can hear its heartbeat and know that it is only awake because of you

people, and especially seiko, need to fkng stop with adding "automatic" to their dials, it's so autisticaly cringy, all a watch needs on its dial is the brandname/logo

all the technical informations belong on the case back
