Got this nice piece for just under 40 bucks from ebay. Pics on ebay were shit but it turned out ro be pretty damn well preserved. near mint. runs very smooth and keeps very good time. i have to open it to remove those black spots from the dial and polish the glass though.
strap is also good (slightly curved springbars, extent to 20mm from 18mm lug) but not exactly my type. any suggestions for a bracelet? i thought the classic president or jubilee would be nice. finding a bracelet with slighty curved endlinks do acommodate the slightly curved lugs would be terrific.

>>15919783
>pol-tier
Are you saying Hodinkee and the Horological Society of New York are political agitators?

For anyone curious, I got this thing delivered, and one of the coils is gone. Sad times.

On the plus side, I just found a replacement bulova movement for 50 bucks, so hopefully I can just swap some shit in. If not? Well, at least I've got 2 mostly complete movements for a rainy day. Not looking forward to having to disassemble the index wheel assembly if I need to swap in a single working coil, though.

It is so bad that a new steel Daytona is on chrono24 for $30k. You have to be fucking retarded and also utterly lacking any semblance of self-respect to engage in this whole song and dance.

Rolex makes good watches but they're not anywhere near $30k for steel good. I like the watches but I hate the brand and I am slowly becoming contemptuous toward people who buy them. Buying dogshit models to get a chance at what you actually want is just pathetic.

Evidently lots of people as demand seems to still be rising as far as I can tell. I agree with you though, I will not be purchasing from Rolex in the foreseeable future. I see no reason to engage in all this nonsense when I can buy a superior watch from the likes of JLC for the same money or from the big 3 for the cost it takes to get a sub including all the lady Datejusts and other bullshit.

The unfortunate reality is that Rolex carries more brand cache in the eyes of normies than any other watch brand (Patek has some recognition as does Omega but each of them is nowhere near as known). The average schmuck thinks "when I make it, I'll buy a Rolex," not any other watch brand.

At the same time, Rolex sports watches are technically proficient and designed/finished well at their MSRP price points, which makes them respected amongst people who care about those things.

The steel sports models are particularly attractive because at MSRP they are far less expensive than the two tone or precious metal models. They're also more "tough," which watch people like.

Those four things in combination with each other drive demand for steel Rolex sports watches.

Rolex knows this and drives further demand for its watches by creating artificial scarcity. Rolex makes nearly one million watches per year yet trickles its steel sports watches out a few at a time to authorized dealers around the world. An authorized dealer may receive only a dozen or so of each of the core steel Rolex sports watches per year. To handle the massive disparity between the supply of these watches and the demand, the authorized dealers will only sell these watches to so-called "preferred customers." This means that, in order to get one's hands on a steel Rolex sports watch, one either has to have a significant purchasing history of ideally Rolex watches with an authorized dealer or has to acquire one on the secondary market, where prices are as much as 4-5x MSRP.

Objectively speaking, no Rolex sports watch is worth 4-5x MSRP nor is it worth spending nearly as much on "basic" Rolex watches in order to access a single steel sports watch at MSRP.

It is a completely asinine situation that hinges solely on a unique confluence of things that have contributed to Rolex's brand perception.

>>15919878
BOOBA

>>15920218
Put it this way, you can walk into a Vacheron Constantin dealer now, today, and walk about with an Overseas chronograph which in every measurable way (including so-called "subjective" things like movement/bracelet finishing) is superior to a Daytona. You will not only get the watch at MSRP, you will likely get a discount of at least 20%, which is customary amongst the "trinity" high horology manufacturers. This means you will have purchased an objectively superior watch, right away, with no waiting period, at approximately 40% less than a Rolex Daytona on the secondary market and even less than the cumulative cost of all the watches you would have to buy to build up enough purchase history to get a Daytona from an authorized dealer.

>>15920124
It's only a matter of time, people are expanding their horizons past Rolex more than ever now.

>>15920236

You probably bat for the other team like the dogman. Audrey is stunning!

So what are Grand Seiko up to in terms of quartz development?
Is 9F the end state or do we expect something new coming up?
And more importantly, any work done on making the Spring Drive movement less of a massively tall chunk?

give the quick rundown on Craig Shipp

>>15920326
BWF makes nice stuff, Sea-gull also makes nice stuff on the high end but it's very directed towards chinese tastes. They have a few of their own tourbillion movements. Really seagull is the way to go, very respectable and one of the largest movement manufacturers in the world.
There are a few other brands that sort of pretend to be swiss that seem decent like lomani.
Agelocer makes some descent looking stuff and they claim to make their own movements that look decent, but i suspect that they are putting a nice plate and winding weight on top of a more standard movement. Pic related in an agelocer movement.
Here is a video of a guy looking at one of their pieces.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vABicFLOL38

>>15920218
Are they really 4-5x though? I see new submariners online for $13-14k which is more like 1.5-2x

>>15920371
Forgot pic

Is it worth it to buy a Grand Seiko if it doesn't have a spring drive?

>>15920388
>Lake Baikal
>5BAR
What did they mean by this

>>15920371
Heard of those brands, seagull is probably tied first with bwf. Slightly prefer bwf for their designs but dont hate seagull. Agelocer and Lobinni look cool but I get the feeling seagull and bwf are superior.

>>15920389
I think they have some great designs for their automatics, but personally I would only consider getting a Spring Drive or a quartz.

>>15920326
You can look at seagulls factory store at https://www.sea-gullmall.com/
I don't think there is really a grand seiko equivalent coming out of china, rich Chinese all want European luxury goods, not domestic brands.
Pic related a random $200 seagull

>>15920389
Why wouldn't it be?

>>15920389
Yeah but if I’m buying GS, it’ll be a spring drive.

Please stop spreading this utter bullshit. Sure, they are well made but their msrp s are not in any way related to that. Grab a formex. It’s 1/10 of the price and I guarantee you, if formex reps a sub you won’t be able tell the difference. And their 904l steel a fucking joke. Bang an oyster against a wooden table and its scratched.

Jett was a cop and sort of old fashioned.

>>15920734
He meant they will trade on the cachet of the Swiss watchmaking industry while making mediocre watches from literal garbage to virtue signal despite maintaining at least a 40% profit margin on their products.

What a disgusting brand run by disgusting people.

>>15920239
>you will likely get a discount of at least 20%, which is customary amongst the "trinity" high horology manufacturers
lol good luck getting a Royal Oak or Nautilus at MSRP

>>15920777
Great job cherry-picking the two examples in which you will not get a discount. I realize it is hard for you troglodytes to understand, but there is more going on in Patek, AP and Vacheron than just Nautiluses, Aquanauts, and Royal Oaks.

Barring any extreme supply issues or memes, you should always be able to negotiate around 15% off for just about anything. You can go higher for brands like Breitling and Omega where ADs have to compete much more actively against grey market sellers. You used to be able to negotiate off around 25% from a solid gold Rolex but those days are long gone.

Long story short, gnomes have been harassing my house for 4 months now.

Yeah. The crown isn't for everyone, but it is historical. Pic related was the first Tank. It's 100+ years old at this point and funnily enough the movement was made for Mr. Cartier by Edmond Jaeger and Jacque-David LeCoultre, grandson of Antoine...which would ultimately lead to the creation of Jaeger-LeCoultre.

I want one bros. The fact that I can get one for slightly under retail is tempting, and I will be entering the holy trinity.

I've always been a Nautilus fan, but I'm priced out. I could easily sell some assets and afford this and still be well off, and the more I see this thing the more I go from thinking it's boring and uninspiring to it's more beautiful and unique than the other two.

>>15919979
unironically this is pretty much the pants/overshirt combo that 3sixteen sells now but with more interesting and higher quality materials

>>15921049
looks boring as fuck

>>15921245
Do it. It is way more beautiful than the other two. AP is basically a shell of itself at this point; it’s “Royal Oak plus a bunch of other shit: the brand.” Patek has open contempt toward the Nautilus/Aquanaut and frankly, while I like those watches more than the Royal Oak, the designs are aged. The Overseas is a great watch, through and through.

>>15921245
It's only a matter of time until the unwashed masses catch on and realize Overseas are still available without having to get bent over by Patek and AP ADs. I'd buy one soon if you have the means, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see in the next few years that VC begins to experience the same issues going on over at AP and Patek.

I prefer the dual time too but it's also $5k more on an already expensive watch.

>>15921265

It's unclutered and superbly legible, but the texture and pattern of the blue blindes backing makes the watch. I don't know why, but the rest of the watch doesn't matter at that point. The fact that the rest of it is so thin, elegant and a little flashy makes it my favorite.

The VC has the simple dial dial, but it's still cluttered compared to the PP. The round dial and the bezel at first look tacky but it's grown on me with the way it works with the band. I find the band and casing to be more attractive in a flashy way, and with the vibrant blue lacquer dial it makes the watch pop. It's fun, shiny but still is a simple sport watch like the Nautilus.

The cyclops is truly repulsive

>>15921296
Rolex is repulsive

>>15921287
That's the thing. The RO and Nautilus are 10/10 watches but the Overseas is an 8.5 (maybe a 9 with the 3 quick-change straps). I know it's harsh on the Overseas but if I'm spending that much money I'd want something perfect and would feel like I'd gotten the inferior choice. But that's just me and only in a perfect world where money does not matter.

I hear that but I figure you could always just plan to wear it a little bit prior to the occasion. It's my first automatic watch so it's my daily wear watch at this point and I haven't really let it run out of reserve yet. Maybe it's more of a pain in the ass than I know.

Design is about opinion.
Personally, I think the Nautilus is the ugliest of the three, it looks like an old TV screen.
The RO is visually the most interesting, but it's also the most angular, making it less versatile.

About the dials; I agree that the dial on the RO is the most interesting because of the guilloché, but the Nautilus dial is simply stamped. It's not very interesting.
The blue dial Overseas has the same dial finish as the Chronomètre Bleu from FP Journe; one of the absolute hottest watches that came out in the past 20 years.

All things considered, the Overseas is easily the best pick out of the three holy trinity sports watches.
The RO design was a bombshell in its day, but these days it's a staple of nouveau riche douchebags and rappers (the Nautilus almost even more so).

Vacheron is also the only one out of the holy trinity that doesn't pander to those two classes of people with oversized, blinged-out versions.
Instead, Vacheron's idea of a more sporty Overseas is pic related.

My favorite genta-like is this ugly watch from a relative no name. I don't know why but I like it though I'll never buy one.

I don't like the nautilus because it doesn't look like a patek.

>>15921813
Don't get me wrong that blue dial is well executed but it's not great either. It would look fantastic on a dress watch, just like the CB, but all the best and most popular sports watches need something else. It is simply a plain flat dial and it needs something to elevate it to another level apart from a nice finish and color.

>>15921828
My absolute favorite Genta-esque is that Overseas Mt. Everest edition.
It's an absolute crime against humanity that this isn't a full product line in and of itself at VC, or at the very least a production model.

>>15921834
>well executed
It's mesmerizing when you see it in person.
In many ways, it's more interesting to look at than even a guilloché dial because of the depth and reflections. You don't get that on a guilloché surface.

>>15921836
The regular Overseas dual time has that layout but not that strap nor this ones dial texture

>>15921836
Looks nice, how much?

>>15921554
Hi, Teddy

>>15921848
Yeah, but those don't do it for me.
The regular Overseas has a lot of shiny surfaces, and the added subdials and hands make the whole thing too busy.

>>15921843
I have seen it in person along with AP & PP which is why I'm saying all that. The VC Overseas is an A- watch but to me it suffers from the fact it's competitors are A+.

>>15921858
>I have seen it in person along with AP & PP which is why I'm saying all that.
I highly doubt you got a good look at that blue dial.
By all accounts, it's almost an otherworldly experience to look at; just read some of the reviews of the chronomètre bleu.

>The VC Overseas is an A- watch but to me it suffers from the fact it's competitors are A+.
To me, the Nautilus is a solid B (boring stamped dial, looks like an old TV), while the RO and Overseas are both As.
With the RO being more visually interesting, but too angular and brash; and the Overseas being the perfect match between striking visuals and elegance.

>>15921857
>shiny
Yeah that bezel on the regular steel ones sure are. Tried a black dial one at an AD and it's still a beautiful watch with interchangable straps.

If only I have $20k.

>>15921878
LMFAO what that shit can't be $20k? I thought it was on a tool watch level, like $500 or so.

>>15921866
> I highly doubt you got a good look at that blue dial.
Okay bruh. I've seen it several times along with most of the other Overseas models. I even turned down a Geneva VC boutique-only edition, 50 pieces made, which I've never seen mentioned anywhere online. That was the only Overseas I came close to buying. I've also seen a Chronomètre Bleu, the FPJ boutique was next door, and it beats that blue overseas dial by a large margin.

>>15921878
I didn't mean that as a knock on the design; it's just that Genta-esque designs tend to have very involved, intricately finished, and overall busy cases.
That's why Genta himself designed them as simple three handers.

Is Breitling trash?

>>15921888
They were but to give them credit they have done a lot to improve in recent years. Some good new designs and in-house movements.

>>15921884
>I've also seen a Chronomètre Bleu, the FPJ boutique was next door, and it beats that blue overseas dial by a large margin.
Anon, every single watch reviewer out there who talked about it says the dial has the exact same effect, and is almost certainly made by the same people.

got this from india. Do you think it's legit?

>>15921900
>dial is the color of diarrhea after two days of curry and exposure to Indian hygiene

It's legit.

>>15921888
utter dogshit overpriced trash

>>15921900
Yep, it's legitimately some pooinloo frankenwatch. If you meant a real seiko 5 then no.

Even the inner curve of the lugs on the Overseas drives me wild.
Like seeing the back of a girl's shapely knees.

>>15921897
Oh you mean the watch review sites that basically act as free advertising for all the watch brands. Unfortunately I can only base my opinion on the fact I've seen both in person.

>>15921888
For me it's Navitimer

>>15921915
Can't deny the Overseas has the best movement especially the finishing.

>>15921916
Hi I'm Tim has probably handled more luxury watches than anyone in the world outside of Switzerland itself, and he pretty much swears the dials on the Chronomètre Bleu and the Overseas are made by the same people.
All due respect, but you're one anon who had a furtive glance at both.

And I'm not even saying this as a blue dial fanboy, I'm getting the black dial version of the Overseas.

>>15921921
It drives me crazy when I see a review of the Overseas vs the RO (15500) and they treat the movements as equally well finished.
The standard RO's movement is entirely machine finished ffs, it's not much better than a seiko 5 in that regard. Meanwhile the Overseas movement is entirely hand-finished.

It competes directly against Royal Oaks and Nautiluses so prices are retarded.

At least it's way easier to buy one compared to the other 2.

>>15921632
Wtf did I miss?

>>15921965
20k is pretty damn cheap for a watch with a hand-finished movement.

The standard RO has a machine-finished movement and costs 20k as well.
The Nautilus has a hand-finished movement, but the market hype around the model massively inflates the price.

>>15921970
> The standard RO has a machine-finished movement
I don't think that is true.

>>15921977
That's not the standard RO, that's the Jumbo with the 2121 movement.
It's $5k more at retail, but there's a 1-2 year waiting list.
The "buy it now" price on the grey market is about $40k.

The standard RO is currently the 15500, which costs $20k at retail and the movement of which is entirely machine finished.
See pic, compared to the Overseas movement.

>>15921970
>20k is pretty damn cheap for a watch with a hand-finished movement.
Exactly it should be like 200k at least, do you even know how many hours it takes, it's like a whole day.

>>15921984
If that type of hand-finishing were possible for less money, tons of brands would be doing it.

>>15921984
Black/mirror polishing takes an assload of time that's why you only see them on small parts like screw heads, torb cages or repeater hammers.

>>15920367
I bet the main thing making the spring drives fat is the magic lever auto winding. To get a thinner automatic, you need to integrate the auto winding to the same level as the wheel train (as Seiko has done numerous times previously).

>>15921983
To be fair I bet most of the cost for the Overseas goes into that movement which is why it's weaker on the case and dial.

>>15921993
GS made a new slimmer SD movement last year.

>>15921997
>it's weaker on the case and dial.
It really isn't though.

>>15921999
It still has a magic lever sandwiched in, the new mechanical movement 9SA5 on the other hand has a new reverser wheel based auto winding and is even thinner.

>>15921984
Keep in mind that the "entire" movement isn't going to be finished perfectly, despite the VC Overseas 41' 5100 movement having a Geneva Seal. Black mirror isn't something frequent at this price point. Rather it's when you start getting into that 200k price bracket and see flagship watches from these brands. But really, independent watchmakers are more interesting. I.e "Antoine Presuizo"

>>15922044
Regarding the "Geneva Seal", Vacheron mistakenly calls it the Geneva hallmark, it's a certification that I assume any Swiss mechanical watch can receive if it passes the criteria. The prerequisites are mainly visual and visual and cosmetic based and it doesn't sound extensive; it's absolutely stringent however. My point is, for a 20k watch, not everything is going to receive the same scope of attention, you can expect to see the same quality through and through, but polishing is going to differ. It's only when we start talking about the best of the best from AP, VC and PP that we see attention to detail on EVERYTHING within the movement.

>>15921931
>>15921937
>tfw 6k
>tfw I had 2 years

>>15922068
The Geneva Seal applies to all the same things on a $20k watch as it does on a $200k watch.
The level of finishing is going to be the same.

See pic; the anglage, screw polish, Geneva strips, gear finishing, ... are the exact same as on the basic Overseas; there's just more of it because the movement is more intricate and has more parts.

>>15922082
Do some research. That's right. The GS seal's requirements doesn't change from watch to watch. But the requirements are limited in scope and some don't have to do with the movement at all. If I have two watches, one at 25k and the other at say, 125k, and they both have the Geneva Seal but they're completely identical, why is the 125k watch 100k more? Because of what you don't see. Because of the watchmaker spending much more time polishing parts you're never going to see. My two cents. Correct me if i'm wrong.
