Almost the perfect chronograph, that isn't outrageously expensive.

>>15985947
love it but too expensive
>>15985945
looks cool but made in china and unknown quality? might be a rip off

>>15985948
Almost?

>>15985967
It has a dick and balls on it

>>15985967

I don't like the sub-second markers on the main dial. Too cluttered and useless.

>>15985970
That's supposed to be a con?

>>15985958
Even if the specs listed are half of what they say it is it'd be still a great deal. But it isnt, that's the sole selling point of such chinese watches.

Most watches(99.9%) are made in china or asia. You can basically ignore "made in..." text, its all legalese loophole fuckery

if you dont care about specs or mechanicals and want to see "swiss made" on the dial and still within a budget you can get a Movado. Its technically a fashion watch but it gets a pass (mostly)

Sorry it took me so long to make the thread, my son was down with the senioritis.

>>15985948
>no jumping minutes on a $10k chronograph

>>15985958
>looks cool but made in china and unknown quality? might be a rip off
A few anons have bought one, it's shockingly good for the money.
You can also get most of the watches from san martin on aliexpress in a sterile version with no branding on the dial. They are also very good quality for the money.

>>15985967
>>15986025
Fuck I guess that's it. What a piece of shit

>>15986025
>jumping minutes
what does this mean?
dont all mechanical chronos have jumping minutes when the thing is running?

>>15986003
is there a good panerai homage?

>>15985958
>Might be a rip off
Can report that it's probably the best bang-for-buck I've seen. It's nothing to write home about but it's outstanding value given the specs. Good budget workhorse NH35 movement, nice brushed finish on the case, retro style crown, naked flieger dial, decent lume. Only thing that outright sucks on it is the strap and at 20mm there's no shortage of replacements out there.

>>15986053
Normally chronographs won't jump straight from one minute to the next. You'll see it move slowly first and then jump. Just compare a video of a speedmaster advancing one minute vs a lange 1815 chrono jumping a minute.

>>15986055

No.

Trying to find a tan leather strap with white stitching, basically looks like the middle belt in this pic
Everything I’ve found so far is genuine leather garbage with a dogshit fake pebbled texture
Any ideas?

Has anyone gotten one of the sterile chinese field watches? They are actually a proper size (36mm) screw down crown, domed sapphire, 100m WR etc
I have found a few different models
You can find them on other stores if you look at the related product adds if you don't like this one.

>>15986055
san martin/parnis both have panerai near homages with sterile options for cheap

there is even a whole microbrand (gruppo gamma) entirely based on the panerai aesthetic

panerai's simple design is very easy to emulate theres no shortage of homages in their style

>>15986077
See if Threaded Leather has anything that suits you. I've had a couple of their Horween straps that treated me very well.

https://threadedleather.com/collections/leather-watch-straps

Oh baby, san martin is doing a two tone version of their 39/40mm datejust homage, my body is ready.
I only see it on other stores than the official on right now but it should show up there within a few days
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005002184485725.html

>>15986180
Why the fuck can't they do a 36-38 mm version? WHY THE FUCK.

Sup /wt/, I wandered into a local jewelry shop today that has Omegas and saw this baby that I didn't even know about: the Speedmaster racing in 40mm. I love the size (t. wristlet) and the texture on the dial (not just the pattern on the subdials, the whole face is brushed slightly), and to me the sapphire crystal and automatic movement are a plus (sorry hesalite manual wind fags) but it's only on the rubber strap, and a quick search shows that these guys don't hold their value well. What do you guys think? I like it as a left field, unique take on the classic speedy, and I could throw it on a leather strap for a poor man's FOIS, but I'm not sure if I'd be overpaying. How can I bargain down?

>>15986180
$450-$500. The set of balls on these Chinks...$200-$300 all day but I'm not spending over $400 on Chinesium.

>>15986190
agreed fuck them

>>15986188
>jewelry store
>bargain down
You can't. Grey market is the only place to find it new for cheaper, no one is bargaining on an Omega outside of private secondhand sales. Buy it or don't, if you really like it then fuck the price.

>>15986187
Yeah i would love a 36mm version, maybe they will try out some smaller watches since the vintage diver sold so well.
>>15986190
It will be cheaper when it ends up on their official store, the more expensive version comes with an sw200

>>15986188
The dealer should give you 20% to 30% off retail if you ask firmly and they arent selling well. Or just buy a used one.

>>15986080
>looks like $20 mallshit from Target

>>15986209
Link me to whare i can buy a watch like that from target, 36mm, automatic, sapphire glass, screw down crown
Ill wait

>>15986190
dumbass, san martins have always came with a premium as their machining is very good

was anyone in the tysons omega booth today? I need friends.

>>15986209

No. Fuck off.

>>15986211
Aren’t Omegas actually shit-tier for a luxury brand with bad QC?

>>15986249
you shouldnt believe everything you read on 4chan

>>15986242
I'm not that anon but I've read San Martin is the most legit Chinese watchmaker, make of that what you will.
Personally, I've never bought a chink watch and probably won't for the foreseeable future. Maybe if they start their own in-house movements.

>>15986258
I get where you are coming from but using Swiss or Japanese movements is the best thing the Chinks have going for them. I'd be scared of an in-house Chink movement. Same way I'm a little scared of in-house movements from more established companies like Yema. Less proven, prone to more issues, parts are expensive and hard to come by, more difficult to repair as movement is less common.

>>15986242
>crying over $500
>but will also pay $5000 for made in china parts as long as the brand slaps a "swiss made" on the dial
>he thinks a san martin is the same as a curren
>he can't recognise the difference between movements

san martin is the best AE brand thats why they can charge high and still their watches always sell
if $500 is too rich for you go get a cadisen or whatever
the PT500 is equivalent to SW200 and double the price of seiko NH

>>15986258
san martin is not really a watchmaker per se, they are a case manufacturer. Actual chinese watchmakers with heritage like Beijing watch factory/Tianjin Seagull exist.

This watch doesn't even have the slower jump like you would get on an 861 or Valjoux, it's just constantly running.

do you have a timestamp or at least a video where the guy isnt constantly moving the watch about i cant see shit

>>15986315

too bad its like 43 or 46mm

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but it’s really hard to see in that video

>>15986291
if u wanna larp you can get basically a 1:1 clone for like 300

>>15986188
It’s a cool watch. So few watches are actual investment pieces that increase in value. If you want to sell it eventually either accept that you’ll get less than you paid or buy something else

>>15986366
I see. But jumping minutes are necessarily indicative of a higher end chronograph. It’s just a different mechanism (and frankly one that breaks a lot)

looking for a smaller manual wind dress watch w/black dial. like nomos orion but not for homos. any suggestions? willing to do a more sporty style too.

I don't get why richfags post pics of their expensive watch and their gun or some shit. The gun never matches the watch. Ever.

>>15986488
I guess it's like your "loadout." Your watch, your gun, your keys, w/e. But half the time it's some elegant expensive watch and then a tacticool gun. What's the point? It doesn't feel like there's a theme.

Do you really need any of those if you have a gun and more importantly a JLC?

It's almost as if depending on how much you make the definition of what is "cheap" changes. What a fucking shocker.

you guys realize that for most of the world $300 for a watch would be considered a luxury, right?

>>15986440
>>15986479
Is this the watch and gun thread?

>>15986691
Who cares about the third world poorfags though? Basically if you have less than $60k/year you're not even human, and you need to have double that to be relevant.

Is the reverso a meme or is it 'worth' the price. Looking at getting pic rel. Any thoughts on the Calibre 822/2 is appreciated.
Going to watches of switzerland to try one on at lunch today.

>>15986795
Almost no watches are worth the price, you're always paying a tax.
But the Reverso is one of the better watches you could overpay for.

Okay, so I'm thinking Casio will never get over the Bluetooth meme unless one of our own infiltrate their ranks.
Who's in?

If you like an old school dress watch and/or you wear tweed.

Need opinions. I love my 114270 as some of you may know (pic related). However the Blancpain Bathyscaphe in 38mm has caught my fancy. Would you unload the explorer and upgrade? We will see how my GME stonks do by friday I guess.

some people I know are asking if I want to travel with them to Spain and Italy in a hopefully post-COVID world

yes go to rome. The nigerians in the alleys sell fine timepieces of good brand name

>>15986249
There were basically trash from 1990 until 2010, roughly, but in the last 10 years the Swatch Group has made a real effort to unfuck the brand. Omega's external finishing is at least reasonable for the money now, and their 8500 series co-axial movements seem to be far less prone to eating themselves than the older 2500 series were.

>>15986435
I'm probably the longest running external finishing autist in these threads and I used to regularly shit on Omega for having literally Tissot-tier external finishing, but Omega really has taken big steps forward in the last 10 years so I don't shit talk them about it anymore.

lmao this avatarfag spamming his shitty explorer talking about how it was the ultimate watch is already sick of it after a couple months

>>15986854
Can you compare the Explorer and Seamaster for us please?

>>15986865
this nibber is so jealous he cant afford Rolex/Omega Tier

>>15986833
The bathyscaphe 38 is a really ugly watch, i understand the call of a wristlet compatible 50 fathoms but the bathyscaphe sucks.
The indices are too small, the hands are too narrow these two factors combined leads to a very empty feeling dial. The 4:30 date window kind of sucks. Really it's the tiny indices that suck, they are half shiny metal instead of lume and it just feels unbalanced and they just look comically small, it reminds me of one of those tiny face on a big head memes.
Don't they make a 40mm fifty fathoms? That would be a much better choice.

>>15986833
where is your crimson string?

>>15986871
> afford Rolex/Omega Tier
that's nothing to brag about anon. that's anyone with a job tier

>>15986869
I really enjoyed the seamaster. But at the end of the day, even with 7+ inch wrists I still prefer the more classic sizing. I used to have a ceramic sub but it just felt like such an attention seeking watch. Overall I believe this is far more elegant and comfortable on the wrist compared to the seamaster. Although I still like the Omega, one fag in these threads always says that it looks like "a kids drawing of a watch" and I cant help but feel thats a fair assessment of the design. The explorer design is timeless and I prefer this 36mm version to the 39 which has fucky porportions with a 20 mm bracelet.Honestly cant go wrong with either. I think that this explorer makes a better one watch collection too.

>>15986873
This unironically looks like it could he some shit microbrand watch

>>15986833
There is not a world in which you don’t regret trading it in. Just hold onto the Explorer and buy the Blancpain later if you still want it, I seriously doubt they’re going anywhere.

>>15986873
I mean just compare this to the bathyscaphe. They are drastically different watches and the bathyscaphe seems to lack all the features that give the fifty fathoms its charm.

>>15986877

>>15986899
They're addressing the general and /wt/ doesn't seem really keen on a Seiko 5 compared to Orient or Aliexpress shitters.

>>15986795
Personally I think the versions with the batons and dauphene hands look much nicer, but to each their own.

>>15986833
The Bathyscaphe looks too plain. I don't like the hands, tiny hour markers and uninteresting dial. It's a borderline mallshitter design.

>>15986897
Within the last 30 days there are at least 4 separate posters to these threads that own modern GS's. Over the last several years there have been many more than that.

>>15986892
>There's many posters here with a GS.
Something tells me those aren’t the guys spending several hours at a time arguing with Rolex posters over finishing. I seriously doubt these people are employed at all.

>plain
Yeah, more like BlancPLAIN, am I right?

>>15986878
Thanks anon. I have a “no wave” Seamaster which I got as a gift and would never sell, and which I love dearly. It is just about a perfect watch in my view. I don’t really see the “child’s drawing” argument considering it has a rather detailed case shape, skeleton hands, etc. But whatever, to each his own.

I have an aspirational four watch collection which includes both the Seamaster and an Explorer. Would they pair well within a collection in your opinion?

>>15986925
Oh yeah, I would have loved to have both in the collection right now. The only thing I honesly hate is the bracelet with the Seamaster. everything else is great. Tough your version may be the best one out there. which color do you have?

So I really want some kind of a Seiko but I feel that unless it's more than 10k, it will always be dismissed as "just a Seiko", even if it's Grand Seiko. I really like that black/gold Seiko from a previous thread, but it just seems too cheap. What do?

>>15987118
If you have that much money just pay someone to buy a watch for you, I'm not doing it for free.

>>15986932
Thanks friend. Mine is in blue.

Is pic related a good explorer alternative? I went into an AD today expecting to pull the trigger on a Tudor Black Bay 36, but I was shocked by how small the bezel makes it look, even on my wrist which is 6.5 inches tops. The BB41 is too big though, and the only thing I could think of in between is the modern Explorer which naturally they don't have, so I looked around for similarly sized pieces and found the Longines Conquest. Funnily enough, every sub-40mm watch I've ever worn has had no bezel so I'm having a hard time judging the size, and my AD doesn't carry Longines but there are some great prices for it online. Does it wear big, and if so is there some alternative from say Seiko or Hamilton that could wow me in the ~$1000 price range?

>>15987137
36mm is a fine size anon, especially on a 6.5" wrist.

>>15987120
Solution: buy a Credor.

>>15987137
No.

>>15987118
>>15987124
This pretty much, though I'd look more at the newly updated Master Control line or the Reverso line now, the MUT line is a bit outdated in terms of external fit and finish by comparison and is due for an updating by JLC.

>>15987120
Just dismiss those people who would look down on you for wearing a seiko, they're shallow cunts anyway.

>>15987141
You'd think so, my daily driver has been a Glycine Combat 6 in 36mm for a while now, but the BB36 just felt weird. Maybe I'd just have to get used to it.

Dude if you want an explorer get an explorer. Get the watch you watch. Or else.you end up with 15 whores that you don't admire and list.for that Rolex

>>15987118
I'd go a JLC or something Grand Seiko for a dress piece, I only own one shirt with a collar, so I can't pull off a dress watch

>>15987174
God that TAG is so horrible.

Any suggestions for an all gold watch under 1000?

I work as a landscaper but am starting uni this year. Have a 1k aussie budget but want to stick to either a 3 watch or 1 watch collection. Thinking F91w beater, Tissot PRX daily and a Seiko Samurai weekender, or just an Orient Kamasu and putting the savings to other expenses. What would you guys do? Should I extend the budget a bit and just buy a Seiko SPB143?

>>15987214

id just get a 300 ish think and wear it all the time, get something that will just build character if it gets beat up a bit

>>15987214
The Kamasu fills the same role as the Samurai, but it's more versatile in exchange for being less aggressive and distinct in its design. F91 is a shitty beater because it's just a shitty watch. At least get a DW5600 or a AE1200. They are simply better watches.

>>15987214
Get a Kamasu OR Kanno OR SRPD55.
Get a MRW-200H instead of the geek watch

2 watch collection is best

If anyone has/had one tell me your experience. Some of the Amazon reviews said it had a sloppy seconds dial hand (the bottom one) and mine had that as well.
The biggest problem was that it didn't actually keep the time, sometimes it was really fast and sometimes really slow. As in it would be over/under 15minutes off after an hour. Totally broken.
I know it's stupid to order one again, but brehs, it looks so cool with that orange and black and all the numbers.

Any other cheapass chronos that look like this or the SNA411 would be appreciated.

>Floyd Mayweather isn’t a man who wonders where his next meal is coming from. In fact, he’s one of the highest paid athletes of all time. With an undefeated boxing record of 50-0 and some of the biggest pay-per-view fight numbers of all time, he isn’t afraid to show off his wealth, especially when it comes to watches. But it turns out that he’s keen to continue the family tradition, too, after buying his five-week-old grandson his first watch. And what was it? A gold Rolex, of course.
>What do we mean when we say Floyd Mayweather likes to show off his watch collection? Just head to his Instagram and have a look. He recently picked up a Richard Mille RM-11 that had been completely covered in aftermarket baguette diamonds and is also well known for his Jacob & Co. Billionaire watch that comes with a price tag of $18,000,000.
>So with that sort of track record, it comes as no surprise that Floyd would think a new heir to the Mayweather fortune needs a watch on his wrist – and quickly. Despite being barely a month old, Mayweather’s grandson Kentrell is now the proud new owner of a Rolex Datejust that has been peppered with aftermarket diamonds as well. It’s quite a start to a budding watch collection. If Kentrell continues to acquire watches with this momentum, expect him to have nabbed his first grail by his fourth birthday at the latest.

The guy at the boutique was very dismissive of me when I asked about the Overseas, because he assumed I wanted the blue dial.
He turned around as soon as he found out I was actually after the black dial.

I'm guessing the blue dial waiting list is so long at this point that they pretty much don't bother too much anymore.

>>15987443
He made a lot of money fighting, I don't think any promoter could match it unless they are crooked. He is dumb as fuck, I don't think he will die broke as a joke like most NBA players, I do think he will blow a lot of money and with the combined spending habits of his kids they will have to get regular jobs at some point

You must buy AMD cards, just waiting for those fine wine drivers.

I was looking at really nice watches like james bonds seamster and armstrong's speed master. What kind of cool iconic watches could I get for 1k? I just want some more perspective on the watch industry and would love maybe a pilots watch to wear every day.

>>15987741
>The waiting is part of the charm
You do realize that there is no actual "waiting list" for the popular models right? They dont sell these watches in a chronological order. They might write your name down for a Daytona or GMT Master to be polite, but you will never get the call. The second one gets delivered to the AD it gets sold to one of the whale customers. You could be on the waiting list for a Hulk for 50 years and you wouldnt get one unless you spend fat stacks at your AD for unpopular models that dont sell.

>>15987797
>What kind of cool iconic watches could I get for 1k?
the most iconic watch under 1k

>>15987214
Start with just two. Get a G-Shock or Vostok Amphibia for work and a dress watch suited for smart-casual. Save the third for something special after graduation

Gonna wear it with the leather strap for now, think it sits better overall suited/casual.

Take your pick of sizes, everything except the bronze cases should be sub one thousand. German made cases, swiss movements

I also recommend looking at the damasko ds30 series, the price shown is with so if you are not in Europe the actual price will be pretty close to 1k

Sure, i would also recommend stowa but their pilots watches are a bit over your budget.
Also if you look at Laco you might be tempted to get one of their watches from their basic pilots line since the prices are nice, DON'T DO IT. The movements are shitty, even if you pay the $80 or whatever for an upgraded one.

>>15987797
you are -not- going to get either of those watches for anything close to 1k

yup. and seeing people check their phones for the time while wearing wristwatches told me all i needed to know about that. posturing and commodity fetishism.

>>15988272
That's why you buy HH, at least you can turn the watch around and see the dozens if not hundreds of man hours that went into the movement.

>>15988272
What's your definition of overpriced then?

If someone buys an expensive watch and they wear and enjoy for the rest of their life is that overpriced?

If someone buys an expensive watch and they wear and enjoy for many years and then sell it for the same or more money does that mean it was overpriced?

>>15987861
I get bored so quickly of watches under $500

>>15988326
>The cost very little to make relative to what people pay for them
This doesn't really apply to high horology.

There's a reason pretty much nobody makes HH-finished watches for less than $15-20k.
If it were possible, somebody would be doing it.

>>15988332
Grand Seiko

>>15988337
The cheapest GS with a HH-finished movement is like $50k.

>>15988326
That's not overpriced. That is market forces dictating what people are willing to pay. Material cost is irrelevant for goods that are in demand, rare or perceived as luxury or a status symbol.

>>15988332
M8 I'm not saying they would be cheap, but your draft if you dont think they're making insane margins on them. Also its besides the point; at the end of the day hh watchs dont do anything great besides looking nice and being collectable. Even rolex is better for flexing on normies. They are like the air Jordan's of watches. I'm not judging this is a fashion board after all.

>>15988339
This. HH means the finest hand finishing on all parts of the watch, especially the movement. Apart from their very top end models GS do not finish their movements to that standard. They blow their wad all over the dial face. GS charge $60k for this.

>>15988340
Blah blah blah. Yes mr economics 101, we know that ,'nothing is overpriced until it's in a bubble'

>>15988348
If the margins were indeed so insane, someone would've made a "cheap" high horology watch a long time ago.

>>15988355
>If the margins were indeed so insane, someone would've made a "cheap" high horology watch a long time ago.
Yeah it's not like $100 tourbillons exist.

>>15988350
>They blow their wad all over the dial face.
That's a strange way of putting it, since the dial face on a $5k GS is miles better finished than even $100k+ Swiss watches.

>>15988355
I doubt it man. Watches are veblen goods and dont respond to normal market forces

>>15988356
>Yeah it's not like $100 tourbillons exist.
Having a tourbillon does not mean the movement has HH finishing.
Also, show me a $100 tourbillon.

Chinks are trying their absolute hardest to shit out cheap luxury watches with tourbillons etc. but they simply cannot replicate actual HH finishing because it takes so much traditional craftsmanship and skill.

>>15988358
It's the same thing as buying a Lexus instead of a BMW/Audi. Sure it may do some things better but it will just feel like a cope. Nobody dreams about having a japanese watch.

>>15988384
Yes and one day they will succeed. Nobody will want them though. That is my point: it's as much about the brand and the price as it is the watch (the watch is still important)

>>15988393
>Yes and one day they will succeed.
Maybe.
But if they end up being cheaper, it'll be because labor is cheaper.
Not because HH watches have such an insane margin.

It takes many dozens of collective man hours from highly trained watchmakers to create a true HH watch.
If it were possible for less than $15-20k, someone would've done it long ago.

>>15988358
>That's a strange way of putting it, since the dial face on a $5k GS is miles better finished than even $100k+ Swiss watches.

I think the dial finishing, which you look at 90% of the time, is more important than movement finishing which you will look at 5% of the time.

>>15988392

No.

GS showed you can produce an extremely nicely finished case and dial for a very good price; but even their HH movements are extremely expensive.

>>15988458
There is no way to prove it either way unless we know what the actual cost of producing the watch is. It is all speculation

>>15988475
GS is extremely good value for money compared to the craftsmanship they offer.
If they could produce a cheap HH movement, they would.

>>15986833
There is no way to get one of these new is there?

>>15988485
Speculation. They have been moving upmarket for years. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
