Yeah the only problem is that they're 10 times more expensive than they should be. If you had Rolex money why would you get some random Jap watch? And if you had money for 5 Rolexes so that you can get 4 Rolexes and one Minase, why wouldn't you just get one Lange.

>>16014866
Tudor's design language just turns me off for some reason

How big should your collection be?

I was an owner of the original Monta ocean king a few years ago, I loved the eterna movement, and the older case and dial layout. From my experience and also in talking with other owners of the current generation there seems to be two camps when it comes to the ocean king- everyone agrees the execution is top notch. Very high level of detail and finesse. Where people get spit is what happens after one month. Some never want to look at another watch and are completely content, and the others get tempted to go mainstream luxury and buy a Black Bay or Seamaster. At that point they would have preferred to buy the mainstream luxury right off the bat as opposed to buying then flipping the Monta. You get less of that with Oris, Rado, Mido, CW, Sinn, etc. as they feel more like mid level watches and are usually much cheaper to come by. Closer to the low 1000s than the high 1000s. Monta is unique as it feels like a segway between mid level and luxury if that makes sense and not quite the mid level like the ones I mentioned here.

any watch roll recommendations?

>>16014968
It's a valJEW 7750, anon, so it has whatever issues the 7750 does.

Seiko Monster or Turtle?

I only have a Vostok and don't plan to buy another watch for a very long, my budget is only $300. My wrist is definitely big enough for either but I'm worried that I'd end up getting tired of the weight of the fat ass Turtle.

>>16015012
I have the Padi Turtle, I don't notice the weight it's very comfortable on the bracelet and I often forget I'm wearing it. The only time the weight is apparent is when I'm throwing a punch I can feel it moving forward on my wrist.

>>16014866

>>16015012
2nd gen Monster is incredible and you should have at least 5 versions of it. Problem is, they are so sought after nowadays that the price has gone up considerably. What was once a $200 watch is now being sold for $450+ on eBay and watch forums. The Turtle can still be had for $200, though.

Opinions on this ?

>>16014977
It’s hard to find pics of them at all outside of promotional material. Seems like they are extremely niche.

>>16015012
i really love the design of the 2nd gen monster, i think it ticks a lot of the boxes of what a great watch should be
-bold, memorable, endearing design
-durable beater
-accessible price

>>16015044
i think its still okay at $450. But Sharkey(Heimdallr) also does a great homage with the same movement at $180

>>16015059
Hey fellow Monsterchad, I've got one of these on the way here next week. I'll let you know how this stacks up against the Sharkey.

Saw this for an obscenely low price (<$50) on eBay today. Obviously counterfeit at that price but it’s tempting nonetheless

>>16014866
What do you guys think of the Grand Seiko SBGA231? Titanium, spring drive diver

>>16014985
Post your Minase on Instagram and see. Or just show it to a girl on the street.

>>16015012
>>16015059
Thanks for the input. I may have an opportunity to see a Turtle in person, but if I went Monster I'd have to order from Ebay. I'll need to meditate on this.

What do you think is going to happen with all of the location data collected from thousands of users? Many of which will be anonymous? Never mind the technological problems posed by your paranoid belief that the watch would constantly be tracking you, the battery would be die every day. Plus there's literally hundreds of more useful ways for "them" to track you, unless you live in the woods, use only cash and don't use the internet, ah shit, they got you! Run!

>>16015364
What location data?

>>16015373

>>16015364
I saw Enemy of the State and it has informed my view of the world ever since.

>>16015376
Does the data get transmitted to the satellite? I was under the impression that a GPS device only received data unless it's explicitly transmitting as part of a GPS network.

>>16015318
if they _really_ want to they can already track your location using your cellphone, theres no need for a watch

so unless you dont carry a phone it wouldnt even matter.

cellphones have been around for 30 years already, imagine bemoaning about them while still using the internet on a computer

>>16015429
So basically your father keeps a cell phone in his ass for emergencies where he breaks his neck on the toilet bowl so that his sphincter releases it and he can punch your number in with his tongue? This entire scenario seems like you're trying to give yourself and the cell phone way too much agency. Do you also worry about your kids going across the street to play with friends? Do you keep them in a cage? How do you even live?

>>16015440

why wouldnt you want to be able to have the *option* to keep in touch with people in case anything happens?

>Citizen ADs are used to giving hefty discounts, so that $6,000 Citizen 0200 probably won't cost anyone nearly $6k unless they buy it directly from Citizen.

BEVERLY HILLS AD ROBBED OF $500,000 RICHARD MILLE WATCH IN ARMED ROBBERY

>“One of them ran and pulled a gun from his jacket pocket, grabbed me from the back of my chair, choking me and putting a gun to my head,” Belhassen said in an interview with The Times on Friday morning. “His two friends — one of them is yanking my hand and the other is yanking at my watch.”

>>16015461
I don't know about Citizen specifically but it's pretty standard practice to get a discount from an AD. How much of a discount depends on the brand, AD, and time of the month. ADs know that if they don't give you a decent discount you'll just go buy the watch grey market which they definitely do not want.

>>16015574
Hope this retard had watch insurance. I can't imagine there are all that many of those watches around. Thieves will probably sell it to a fence for 20% of what it's worth and the fence will move it along to a shady dealer or individual for 50% of what it's worth, then the poor sap last in line will eventually send it in for service and have it seized by RM and get investigated by the cops for years.

If you're a watchdealer, why would you walk around wearing merchandise worth half a million bucks in LA of all places?

I like the Seiko LX diver better, personally.

Grand Seiko SBGZ003 is the very first GS I actually really love. Not in the I really think it is pretty but in the "I'm gonna marry that woman" sense. The price is $57k. If it had been a Patek or Lange etc I would either be wearing one or waiting on one, as it stands it is ~25k more than I would spend on it. Brand positioning had everything to do with that non-purchase.

I am comfortable outside a brand's general price range but that has a limit. I do own a Monaco but not the SBGZ003. I do judge watches individually but there is a limit, I wouldn't buy a Volkswagen Phaeton nor would I buy a $6k Seiko diver or a $6k Hamilton unless either of the watches was extremely special.

In addition to the other watches suggested to you, you should also consider the Citizen PMD56-2952. It's an excellent modern pilots watch, with the only downsides being the need to emulate the Japanese radio atomic sync frequency (easy to do these days) and the end-link to lug fitment not being the tightest. I bought one recently and I'm really enjoying it a lot.

>>16015215
If Citizen could get that exact GPS model down a more reasonable size I would buy the shit out of one. The applied Arabic numeral indices are sexy as hell.

Expensive model of the lower brand - you will forever have to convince yourself and other people that the extra money is worth it for the premium build, design quality etc etc. even if it's a Grand Seiko or a Longines or what have you. More practically, when you sell it used, that premium you paid won't survive and you'll take a BIG hit on the resale price.

Cheapest model of a higher brand - everyone recognises this as an "entry level piece" into the more prestigious brands. But no one is going to question the provenance of a watch that is a Patek or a Rolex. The name alone trumps all the names of brands below them, regardless of how fancy or technically superior a model those lower brands produce.

Agree or disagree /wt/?

>>16015637
not everyone is a brand whore, so no.

>>16015245
If your intention is to flex to people in general, a Patek Nautilus 5711 in the current market is the maximal flex watch. If you only care about flexing to wealthy watch collectors a Dufour Simplicity would be the biggest flex.

stop replying to this fucking weak ass trolling
literally every day there's some retard posting about >tfw too poor for brand >tfw too rich and can only buy brand

Honestly if I had $15k, I'd just buy this as my one and only watch. It basically has it all, it's a chrono, it has a tourbillon, it's skeletonized, has the autism window on the back, it's black, a tachy bezel which I love, and it's from a brand that's not Rolex but regular people still know it and respect it. Sucks to be too poor for it.

I don’t like it

>>16015723
because for most watches as long it doesnt die in a day/user friendly its *fine*
its like a bonus. And if you are going for a mechanical watch wouldnt you enjoy winding it as well?
water resistance, beat rate and the crystal used is more important

past a certain point power reserve is fluff, and only critical for watches with very complicated mechanisms like perpetual calendars and moonphases where you dont ever want the watch to stop ticking

They made the OPs 41 to stop it competing with the 39mm exp, I think they literally had the same movement too, just different clasps, crowns, bezels and dials. They don't want any competition within their catalogue. Its why the GMT is moving to jubilee with no black option and the seamaster keeps getting bigger. If anything the exp2 is due for a replacement this year with the anniversary and all. I reckon for the exp1 they will update the movement and not change anything else. Plus the 214270 is already pretty much perfect.

>>16015831
Yeah youre probably right about that. I just want to see a 36mm explorer with a modern bracelet / movement. For me that would be a perfect watch.

I think the dial size on the 39 is too big, with so much negative space on the dial.

>>16015891
They just need to change the hands on that diver IMO. Hilarious that the Prospex version looks much better aesthetically.
>>16015696
Have you tried one on? They’re absolutely massive. A big power reserve on an oversized watch with just a date is a huge meme.

unlimited budget

>>16015945
A Grand Seiko

>>16015923
I haven't because of lockdown. But it has a lug to lug of 47,5mm which is a bit less than my BB58. So in theory it should fit.

>>16015945
Hate to say it but Rolex or a Royal Oak

>>16015713
dont worry about it

>>16015956
its not about fitting, its about the area
a square of 39x39 will give you 55mm across, diagonally.

the watch will visually look more like a 50mm watch than a 40mm one
anyway, if you are going to buy it at an AD eventually(i assume) you would be able to try it on.

The 36mm Explorer was so perfectly proportioned. I don't know why they felt the need to upsize.

If they think they can get away with it they will not give you the discount. If you angle for the discount they will usually give it to you, because they know, and you know, and everyone knows, that they are competing with the internet. Everyone knows the discount is coming, they just have to know that you will ask for it, or you have to make it known you expect it.

They don't like watches in and of themselves but they recognize it's one of the few pieces of "adornment" that a straight male can wear, one of the few ways they can express themselves, so they will always glance at a guy's wrist to see if it's something interesting.

It's pretty expensive for what it is, but I like it.

>>16016113 yeah and other women you met/know?? all chicks I know have crap fashion watches or apple watches.

Pick a brand she recognizes and is not Japanese (the concept of "Japanese luxury" makes her dry). It's gotta be Swiss. Hublot, Cartier, Rolex

This is the exact opposite, in person it looks like it costs $20 on Wish and anyone who says otherwise is cope or shill.

If that were true, every EU watch dealer would immediately go out of business as everyone just buys grey market for 30% cheaper.

They sure do the one I had off the bat said he would give me a seamaster for 4000 I didn’t even ask for a discount

>>16016191
yeah it's different here in asia. ADs are brutal.

>>16015831
What a boring brand

>>16016173
I mean to be fair as a reissue of a 70s watch that's probably intentional which is fine, but not for £160.

>>16016139
saw one used on Ebay for $109

>>16016191
Its standard practice in Europe as well
obviously not at Rolex, AP or PP ADs tho

>>16016290
You would think AP would cut people a discount since they are a 1 watch brand. How long can they afford to be so snooty? Seriously why is AP still considered part of the holy trinity?

All that room and they couldn't add some more microadjustment?

Rolex DateJUST in champagne coloration on leather.

Based or cringe for a daily wear? I really like the look in business wear or business casual, but I don't think I can effectively 'dress down' this watch with my usual Saturday outfit of a black or white athletic tees and blue jeans.

>>16016396
I don't think you can dress down with that watch, it's clearly formal and dressy.

Tbh m8 I think it's always going to be a little bit tasteless trying to shoehorn a rolex into a casual fit. But that's just me.

>>16016419
Can I shoehorn in a Vacheron Constantin 1921 American in jeans and a tee shirt more tastefully?

:^)

>>16016427
As long as it doesn't look obviously expensive, any watch can be dressed down.

>>16016391
no, its actually pretty bad for a poorfag, the value is not there for what is a $75 watch, and value is what matters a lot when each dollar counts. The size is mediocre, the WR is mediocre, the movement is very mediocre. Its strongest selling point is its looks. But consider that you can get a gshock(the ultimate outdoors watch) or the casio duro for $50; a vostok amphibia for the same amount; adding another $25 gets you the escapement time flieger or the quartz version for the san martin, both with extremely good stats--

And what is worse is that its not even steel, but plated brass.. Your sweat will actually start to corrode into the case, for what is an "outdoors" watch thats p bad. If you still want a timex you should at least look at the timex mk1 or find one thats actual stainless steel.

Anybody else thinking of picking up one of these when they launch? Giving me Oysterquartz vibes but with a high grade Sellita for like $600.

>>16016427
Ignore that guy he is obviously extremely autistic

>>16016431
>>16016419
thats not true, even expensive looking watches can be dressed down.

here is a patek on a nato--just perfect for days at the beach.

>>16016457
holy shit the cringe

>>16016414
>What's a Rolex that can be worn in a formal or a casual setting that is NOT from their dive line?
Day date,Datejust, op, yachetmaster, daytona
This formal casual setting shit.... Nobody cares, it's not the 50s, there are absolutely zero standards of social decor and behavior and if you care about these things you will be seen as stuffy and aspie.
You can wear a datejust, on a bracelet, to a wedding, dinner at the country club, dinner with a client, etc etc and not a single person around you will question it or wonder uf your choice of watch is appropriate for the social situation.

>>16016445
>t. wears a $10,000 watch with a $50 T-shirt to be "casual :^)"

>>16016467
Wrong. I’m a part of a country club and anyone wearing a stainless steel Rolex sports is laughed out of the locker room. If someone tried to come play golf wearing a Seiko, well, they’d probably be barred from the club (and deservedly so).

>>16016471

>>16016478
A lot of bullied preppy kids apparently end up at country clubs.

>>16016481
Rich people join country clubs to escape their wives, drink excessively, and do shady business deals. This has happened for hundreds of years and will continue for hundreds more.

>>16016480
Everyone will know you're trying to show off and that makes it cringe

>>16016487
Not my scene, I like fashion as much as the next anon but I'd despise being in the company of people who actually give a shit about brand snobbery unironically

>>16016488
No one knows what JLC is, so no one will think I’m flexing. This is sounding more and more like poorfag cope every post.

>>16016485
The is whorology at its finest.

>>16016498
But still, to wear a patek on a NATO strap to be "casual" is still flexing to yourself if you're in the company of people who wouldn't know the difference anyway, which is still total cringe.
>This is sounding more and more like poorfag cope every post.
I've nothing to prove about taste, if I did, I'd probably just buy a very expensive watch.

Hey /fa/ , /out/ tourist here. I’m about to commission into my country’s military as an officer and my parents want to pick out a watch for me as a gift. Let’s say my budget is ~500USD for a nice, professional watch to be worn with a dress uniform. Any recommendations?

>>16016471
I've worn more expensive watches than that with $10 shirts from Target.

>>16016509
Okay, well done?

>>16016502
>No! You can’t just wear an expensive watch!
Yes I can.

>>16016402
Just put it on a Perlon and it will be fine worn casually.

>>16016511
The more you keep making a point of the cost over whether it's tasteful or not in a casual setting only proves further you're using price as a substitute for taste.

This is pure autism, who cares about thia kind of thing? Can you fins articles in modern issues of the new yorker, GQ, fashion blogs, any written cultural outlet at all where anyone actually cares about this outside of a few fedora menswear forums?

>wear mid-tier luxury watches in casual settings
>apparently even this is enough to set poorfags off
kek this is the general that just keeps on giving

>>16016528
Stop being a bitch about it m8, you wanted to flex about wearing a patek casually by putting it on a NATO strap and people are either going to not notice your watch anyway, or if they do they'll suss out you're a try hard trying to flex like "oh this old thing? lel just a patek no biggie :^)", gross.

Elegance my man, read up on it.

>You autistic fucking poorfag, who the fuck cares about my ROLEX/PATEK!? Only I know how expensive it is and I cheapened it by putting it on a gaudy $10 NATO strap anyway!

The ironic thing is that there absolutely are expensive watches that can be worn casually, those Tag Heuers that are sold to F1 fans for example are almost exclusively worn by people who also wear oakleys with docksiders in sunkissed marinas.

>>16016549
I didn't come to your house m8 and ask what watch you wear casually, you told me.

>>16016567
No, it's a gift from your parents and something you could possibly be sent to hell with. Pick something that YOU like.

>>16016570
>You can’t just wear something expensive because I said it is in bad taste!
Watch me.

>>16015657
More like tacky metre

>>16016573
I’ll do you a favor since you seem like you’re new here and more than a little autistic. You’re being taken for a ride, there is a 0% chance that the Patek + NATO + bracelet combo is worn by anyone in this thread.

>>16016581
I'm not saying you can't, but yes it would be in bad taste. If you don't care about that, then fine, more power to you.

i saw an asian guy (japanese i think) in his 20s on the train in Boston wearing a calatrava chronograph. what are the odds it was a fake? i'd say probably, but he could be the son of a filthy rich bastard who is going to uni here

>>16016570
>"Well, it's not particularly tasteful to wear something so expensive in a casual environ...."
Where are you getting this from?

>>16016586
That's what makes it so cringe, of course it's a larp.

Seems more like multiple anons making fun of an autistic guy. I mean they didn’t even bother to type like the guy who posted the initial picture.

>>16016603
Sounds to me like my one post about it being tasteless to wear an expensive watch casually triggered multiple anons who apparently dream of it. If they think they're making fun of me, again more power to them, at least my embarrassment is anonymous online and didn't cost me a few thousands dollars.

/wt/
Where anons discuss how appropriate it is to wear watches they can't afford to social events they will never attend.

>>16016508
>a nice, professional watch to be worn with a dress uniform
military or cop?

Yes, it matters, because if you're a cop, you're probably fat, which means something 45mm and up for proportionality.

>>16016508
>>16016567
im not sure what kind of watch i should imagine being worn with these uniforms.

perhaps a sports watch on a metal bracelet...?

>>16016604
Maybe not a suit - but people wear Yves Ste Laurent button up dress shirts, mixed with Lacoste pink shorts and designer boat shoes all the time. I see people dressed like that a lot when they're traveling.

It would fit pretty well to throw in an Oyster Perpetual on that with a brightly colored silicone strap. I don't see the problem.

>>16016612
>it’s not embarrassing to be poor, actually it’s embarrassing to have expensive watches and be rich!
We’re reaching levels of cope that shouldn’t be possible

>>16016629
Like I said, every time you come back with a flex about not being poor, it just furthers my point that you'd have to be tasteless to not know the difference between expense and elegance. But then this is all probably projection anyway, and you're mad because I've shat on your dreams of showing up to a high school reunion with such a watch.

>>16016629
Stop replying to the shitposter

>>16016543
I could see where you’re coming from if you’re talking about a solid gold fuck off Submariner, but unironically trying to claim that anyone wearing something obscure that no one on the planet would recognize is “gross” is totally beyond me.

>>16016627
Well my point isn't that something expensive is out of place casually, it's just wearing an expensive polo shirt isn't the same as wearing a formal suit. Likewise, there's expensive watches you can wear informally, but a dressy patek or rolex but on a NATO strap just isn't it.

>>16016311
It's because they want you to buy the micro adjustable clasp.

Hey guys, just here on my yacht with my rolex daytona, what a fine sunny day. Hope you guys are doing great too.

>>16016712

>>16016712
NATO strap is a dead giveaway for crippling lack of taste.

>>16016712
t. badly dressed person
because bracelets are accessories to the watch?

If you want to take it up a notch and go totally gold (and be seen for it), why not add extra rose gold beaded bracelet accessories to an Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller Rose Gold Rolex? It brings out the colour beautifully and creates a statement, don’t you agree??

It’s all about playing around with different styles and using what works for you. Styling wrists, especially with your luxury watches can really make you stand out from the crowd, hence it is good to know what the style influencers out there are wearing on their wrists.

>>16016737
I like it, very casual

Imagine your dad dying and leaving you this fucking heap of shit. I'd dig him up just to throw it inside his casket and piss on it.

>>16016736
natoes look great on field watches. You can even wear natoes with divers like what James Bond did.

>>16016749
There has never been a time when a NATO has looked better on a field watch than just a regular leather strap

>>16016745
Garbage shitter collection that yet manage to have a kind of charming unique personality, compared to other generic shitters.

>>16016776
Leather dies in water and sweat, a nato doesnt. It cannot be washed, a nato can. A nato is also much more secure. A nato is much cheaper to manufacture and more realistic for an army to opt for. It is the superior choice and gives a gritty realness that leather-LARP cannot.

Look at pic related. A leather strap will feel out of place.

All I know about Titan is that they put HMT out of business. Their designs look OK. If you can get those watches for 30 bucks then sure, go for it.

>>16016909
46mm lug to lug sounds pretty long for something with a 36mm diameter to be honest.

>>16016912
My other option is 44mm. Skin divers from the 60s using that case had a lug to lug of 46. The square shape helps mask the longer lugs. Still, thanks for the opinion

>>16016849
kek

>>16016916
>The square shape helps mask the longer lugs.
Sure, that makes sense. For comparison that seal skindiver watch is 38mm diameter and 47mm L2L. So maybe 36/46 would work better than I think, who knows.

>>16016877
They look nice but I'm wary of buying something for $100 from India. If you are Indian and really proud of it then get one, it's better than the regular Indian choice of getting some fucking two-tone Seiko that makes you look like a low-rent 80s porno theatre afficionado

What watch(es) does Joe Biden wear?

>>16016626

A really important point that's usually overlooked is that for the most formal events (black tie, white tie, military ceremonial) the etiquette is to NOT wear a watch at all.

The whole point is to look as though you're focussed on the event, not the time, or when it's going to end. Not one of those men would wear a watch.

second for the hammy. bought the 2824 version as a wedding gift for my best mate and it was the perfect sub 1k conservative mechanical watch you can get.
that and theres a plethora of bracelet options if you ever felt the urge. Pagani, Strapcode and even Ginault all have bracelets that fit.
