guys i kind of want to get an Omega Ploprof.
did you know that omega made the original ploprof from 904L steel because it was so corrosion resistant?
and did you know, all Rolex steel models nowaydays are made by that material because of its superious corrosion and polishing qualities?

>>17057976
>did you know that omega made the original ploprof from 904L steel because it was so corrosion resistant?
And then Omega made the new one in titanium because it's even more corrosion resistant and it makes the watch light enough to wear.

It's definitely a cool watch, very unique; however, 1.) try it on before you buy it because some people find the size uncomfortable and 2.) start diving because wearing something like that without being a diver is next-level larping (even moreso than wearing a Submariner or Seamaster 300)

I’m a repchad who wears Rolex’s every day. They are literally indistinguishable from the real thing. I’ve compared my rep hulk to my grandads real one and it’s literally the exact same.

The standards for "chonometer" are different (more stringent) for quartz movements.

>>17058057
Fuck you! I can literally tell instantly. Having a time piece like Rolex is something to take pride in. Winding it, taking care of it. Gives you a sense of accomplishment. Something you counterfeit faggots will never learn. You know children make those in sweat shops, do you not care about Chinese children?

>>17058058

>>17058044
I have nothing against diving you pea brained cretin, that's not what this is about. It's about thinking you NEED to dive to wear a fucking watch.

>I can literally tell instantly

No on both counts.

You might be able to tell if I let you take the caseback off and you could examine the movement and, even then, it would depend on you being smart enough to know what you're looking at. (You aren't.)

And yet because it's a quartz it's not actually a chronometer. Standards matter, otherwise you might as well not even use "chronometer" at all for any watch.

Don't believe the repfags. Buying a fake is the ultimate eternal beta cope move.
Don't let them pull you to their sub-human level.

>>17058283
Is that your mentality for everything like cars and other big purchases?

>>17058278
>>17058279

>>17058287
Yes?

>>17058287
A watch is piece of jewelry. It's useless. If you have to save up for even a month to buy an $8k watch, you are near living paycheck to paycheck (minimum living expenses for an American adult are minimum $4k a month) and have no business buying any watch over $10.

>>17058287
Are you being intentionally obtuse, a car and a watch aren't comparable. First off you can't buy a car for $20 that does a better job at being a car than a $20000 car and secondly a car serves a bigger purpose than an obsolete trinket. Im not the anon who you replied to, and I like expensive watches too, but your comparison is absolutely idiotic and would only be made by a low IQ cretin.

>>17058296
What a sad mentality.

>>17058287
I treat all useless accessories like that yes

>>17058296
>If you have to save up for even a month to buy an $8k watch, you are near living paycheck to paycheck (minimum living expenses for an American adult are minimum $4k a month)
I'm sorry I'm confused by your math because you appear to be a moron. If you make 8k after taxes a month and put away half of your money a month you can buy an 8k watch and you're making 96k after taxes a year, which isn't close to paycheck to paycheck.

>>17058178
i wish that was me

>>17058307
What are you doing in a watch thread, then?

>>17058204
Where you been man? I've seen like 3 whole threads without the fogmaster

>>17058309
The topic is about saving up dipshit. How would someone in that position be needing to save up? If you are financially stable you wouldn't need to save up for a trinket, you would buy it when you have more cash than you know what to do with (the entire reason pointless luxury items even exist for 99% of smart people). Then you have these middle class Erics barely scraping buy "saving up" to buy an Omega or Tudor when they wouldn't even have a month of living expenses left if they lost their job.

>>17058317
I've posted a few other watches here and there but you're right haven't been around a lot. Been rocking my basic casio calculator a lot recently, posted that once. I've just been busy with school, working out and socializing. Can't wait for my summer break.

>>17058320
Saving up is literally putting money aside for something. Holy shit you're retarded. If you're clearing 8k a month and are putting away half of that for a watch, guess what, you're saving up for it.

>>17058324
The fact that you think your mental model of this is somehow correct tells the rest of us that you have never actually made a decent amount of money.

Real? cop or nah

>>17058294
>>17058296
>>17058300
I guess if you see it as a piece of jewelry it might make sense, but I see it as a watch that will most likely outlast me.

>>17058341
I see it the same way but it's it no way comparable to a house or a car. It's superfluous.

>>17058338

I still like watches. You just shouldn't be a consoomer

anons where do you buy replacement straps for picrel? Everything I can find online is more expensive than just buying a new watch. I know it's shitty and plastic, and I should just get a new one, but I'd like to keep the one I have for sentimental reasons

Eric, where are you? This thread is surprisingly not hateful and pathetic without you

>>17058347
When you are making enough money to not be a middle class Eric, you will know what kind of lifestyle you can afford - there is no scenario in which the outlook changes based on you "saving." Sometimes you will hit a massive stock vest/options opportunity, unexpected bonus, your investments make a big run, those are the times you look at luxury watches. The only time the concept of saving would even enter my mind is if I was trying to create a large runway to facilitate taking a huge risk like leaving my job to do a startup. If you are smart enough to make $100k/yr after tax there's no chance you are ever "saving" to buy a luxury watch, and if you make less than that you have no business buying a luxury watch.

>>17058381
Well that makes sense. Anyway I'm in school so obviously I'm not making the MONEY. Also the middle class eric joke is so lame.

>>17058371
>You just shouldn't be a consoomer
But, what if I do have enough money to enjoy this hobbie without being an anal-tight retard?

Is it bad if I'm saving up for a rep?

>>17058391
Middle class Eric isn't a joke, it's an archetype. You will run into hundreds of them once you enter the workforce. They are normally sales managers living in a $625k tract home in an HOA in the 4th nicest suburb in the metro area, and driving a leased 4 Series that's loaded but not the M4. You'll know them when you see them.

>>17058404
No this cannot be faulted, at least buying a rep shows that you aren't stupid enough to have to save up to subsidize putting a watchmakers logo on a boat or golfer, and 50% markups at authorized dealers that cucks love to go to in order to be talked down to.

>>17058403

>>17058395
It doesn't matter how much money you have. Eventually you end up with more shit than you can even wear. Besides that doesn't change that saving for a watch is retarded. I don't care if it's a $1000 seiko or a rainbow Daytona. If you have to save you aren't spending your money well

>>17058423
probably brass. Zenith isn't some ali express watch

>>17058423
Gold plated, according to the hodinkee article at least. The movements were originally made in the 50s after all.

>>17058429
Sorry, no umlaut on my keyboard. Glasshute is a region I think, and the brand glasshute originel is a budget version of Lange und Sohne. That's the joke. They mimic Lange's design language but with enough faults in the proportions (like Tudor) that they can justify the lower price. Watch sellers like to tell you that you're getting close to Lange quality, but that's just bullshit to sell ugly watches that no one wants.

>>17058130

My main watches. Top left being my main daily which I have owned for 4 or 5 years now

Yet lately I find the Casio f91w to make the most sense :/

Tbh getting into watches is a meme
Just get a casio f91w and another analog watch. Don't even bother with automatics desu unless you can't get a design that looks similar to the automatic you want.

Tbh I really wish the automatic meme will die

>>17058377
Would a black leather strap fit on it?

Or if it's an 18mm band, source out a cheap f91w even fake ones and use that strap. Looks pretty similar

>>17058377
Bite the fucking bullet and buy the new watch that's just like the one you own and use the new one for spare parts.
Problem solved.

>>17058454
>watches is a meme

No, it's just consooomerism. It blew up over the covid lockdown because people didn't spend money on going out or vacations. Now that people are traveling and eating out again, they won't be buying watches. Rolex will finally have inventory in about 2 years because first the grey market dealers have to stop finding people to gyp, and then they'll stop buying inventory. Then things will return to normal and watches won't matter anymore.

If your casio is good for you, then wear it. It doesn't affect anyone except you. That's why I wear my Citizen and am happy.

>>17058473
>Citizen
Which citizen do you own?

I really love mine (the bottom left) had that since 2015 I think. Looks great with a black leather strap

>>17058483
It's a cal. 0100. So far it's working excellently, and given that people think of Citizen as a 'mall-watch', no one cares.

>>17058161
Also went for the dark green one. The most classic one.

>>17058488
Fkn nice. Very good choice. I was actually looking into a similar design to this.

Tbh something like this and Casio f91w is all you really need.

>>17058497
I didn't go with the white gold; I went with the black dial instead in titanium, as I haven't had a titanium watch in a long time and the bracelet is really awesome. I have mechanicals too, but the Citizen is an 'exit watch' for me emotionally. All other watches I see are just variations on a theme, so there's nothing else that attracts me. To put it another way, there's nothing left to buy.

Guys, anything like the FXD that is not priced like the FXD? My budget is around $500.

>>17058503
Very nice choice. Lol I haven't had an urge for a watch in so long but that cream coloured one is so beautiful. Just saw it's made of white gold so I'm guessing ridiculously expensive?

I wonder if citizen has any nice looking dressier ecodrive cos honestly. My citizen is probably the most "perfect" watch for me in terms of size.

The f91w is just so handy because some avoiding using my phone when I work out or for the first few hours I wake up so I use the timer a lot on it

I kinda want this guys, tell me I'm dumb.

>>17058514
Here was my concern regarding the white gold; while there are reports that this watch is supposed to last 40 years, I can't guarantee that, and the white gold version is a little more than double the price of the titanium ones. While it's more 'choice', it's not my ideal for this watch even though I can't fault the design and combination of materials (the ivory dial on gold looks perfect, of course). Also, the bracelet really is a winner here. It's full titanium, and light as a feather, so ideal for my purposes. Citizen started putting the 0100 in other watches in their lineup this past year or two, so there may be more options, and all of them are about 2/3rds the price of the original release.

f91ws are definitely convenient; I've never been one to wear watches when I work out though, but I get your meaning. For a time I had one of those fitbits, and it was great for when I was running outside, but admittedly I haven't had time to do so for well over a few years now. Such is life.

Citizen has a HUGE lineup...to the point where I don't think anyone really knows what they have. There are dozens of ecodrive dress watches...they have a rectangular Cartier Tank look-a-like that I thought about getting years ago to satisfy the rectangular watch itch. But that's changed too....after experiencing a Reverso for a bit, I've decided that it's just not right on my wrist. So that's that...lol

Movie title? The pics are really blurry here.

Different topic: Seems hard to find a decent smaller watch at the moment. Today I bhad a look at the watches that my jeweller has in stock and the 41mm ones look huge. I am looking for a gold colored case, no complications or date at most at 36-38mm. The ones on chrono24 for Europe did not really scratch my itch.

>>17058473
>Rolex will finally have inventory in about 2 years

>>17058763
It's not from a movie, it's from a tv show about Bigfoot of all things. I had to screencap those stills from YT, and I haven't seen any better shots of the watch from the show.
The guy is ex-military and a survivalist, so I assume it's some sort of watch that would be popular with military types. It isn't a blackout watch, it looks to be gunmetal gray including the dial. Case and band aren't right for something like a Luminox. It also looks like it has two crowns.
It isn't some grail I'm chasing but it's become an itch I can't scratch trying to figure out wtf it is. Until I can find a better picture this is the best I've got.

What is an acceptable time accuracy for a $200 watch? Is 10 seconds a day too much? Should it be single digits?

>>17058955
quartz? +/- 15 seconds per month
mechanical? +/- 10 seconds per day

remember, -4/+6 is considered chronometer grade for mechanical movements. Getting more accurate is difficult and expensive.

>>17058084
bet it slips right under the cuff too?

>>17058034
how does the regulator work in this?

>>17058955
more than 10 seconds a day may suck for you personally, but most movements in the up to 1k range advertise worse specs as being acceptable, much worse

>>17058974
Just like any other, you nudge the arms left or right to speed it up or slow it down.

>>17058955
>>17058984
To add to this, to-the-second autism is a phase most people new to mechanical watches get into quickly and, just as quickly, fall out of. (Unless they're terminally autistic)
Quite simply, no one really needs to know time down to the second or even the minute in their daily lives. Think about how people answer when you ask them the time (and they don't read off what's on their phone)
>About quarter-past
>A little after 10
>Almost half-past

Those people who actually do need timing down to the fraction of a second typically have high-precision timers at their workstations and don't rely on a wristwatch.

people who have the basic square g-shock, how long does the battery last before you need to change it?

>>17058999
The basic ones last 4 years or so. The next ones up on the ladder last at least 10 years, more if you never use the light. That thing eats power. If I remember correctly, Casio assumes the average user will use the light twice per night.
I never use the light on my Mudman and I've been running the same battery in it for over 13 years.

Solar-powered rechargeable batteries last at 12 years, but depending on how you charge them (keep them topped up, never let them fall to 'L') they can last for well over 25 years.

I have my father's watch, my grandfather's, and my great-grandfather's. Two Rolexes and a Patek. I don't fucking wear any of them. They're tiny and decades out of fashion. When I give them to my son along with my watch, I won't care if he sells them.

They make this general much fucking worse.

Anons any watch storage case with clear top?

I'm looking at 30 watch cases with clear top and I can't find shit.

>>17059065
Stop larping. If you didn't care, you would have sold them already. Two vintage Rolex will make at you least 10k€, and a vintage Patek (depending on the model) will easily sell for around 15-20k.

>>17059036

If you're already calling any of those an "alternative" to the Explorer that means they're all cope watches and you should just get a fucking Rolex Explorer.

About half the posts in the general are ADs trying (and failing) to convince people not to buy reps. Another 30% are people that actually fell for marketing and are whipped up in a consoomer frenzy. Without all that going on, if the thread was just educated/well adjusted people posting, it would be slow and just about reps (the only thing anyone with brains would buy along with GShocks and Casios).

>jap homages

>mystery factories making copies of random quality
That is a terrible argument. With japs you know what you're getting: a working product that matches the cost. There are good chink homages but you are gambling on the company and the quality of the watches. That is why microbrands exist, they take chinese copies and add a smidgen of QC backed by a known entity.

>>17059375
>ADs trying to convince people not to buy reps
I'd still rather buy a gen than a rep, because you actually get QC and support the company that came up with the watch you admire so much.

>>17059379
the "argument" isn't about quality, it's about the "ethicality" and cope level. The point is that it is just as much of a cope if you buy a Seiko Tank or Steinhart Explorer as if you buy some pagani shit on aliexpress.

>>17058261
>save up for stuff anymore?
That was never a thing for watches. People just bought what they could afford and fit their needs. Watches are not needs anymore so people want to spend significant portion of their income on them. I saved for 6 months eating only instant noodles and sleeping in at gym for my DW-5600. It was worth it.

>>17059350
No idea really, but this isn't the kind of watch that would be popular with outdoors/survivalist/military types, at all. It's big and chunky, with big buttons/crowns and a heavy steel bracelet, plus this show is kind of a joke, so it doesn't really fit in this category.

At least you can be sure this is no Casio, Timex, Citizen or Seiko. I'm guessing this is some fashion watch of some kind. Guy's name is Russell Acord, there's plenty pictures of him albeit none of his wrist, but there's hope of finding it.

It's not exactly the industries best kept secret. On top of paying for that communications major's rent, and giving more money to some millionaire golfer, your gen watch purchase also funds a huge team of litigators and internet campaigns against reps.

>>17059426
Not that anon but it looks like a drop in replacement for the stock bracelet that has solid steel links. You probably keep the endlinks (the pieces that mate with the case) on the watch and just replace the rest with the new bracelet.

I don't do social media or twitter. And there's no guarantee I'd get an answer.
>>17059398
I don't care about the show, just saw the watch and couldn't identify it. At first it looked like a blackout watch, maybe a luminox or something with some wear and tear. But it's definitely not a regular tacticool watch. And if its a fashion watch you'd think it would be easy to ID, but it isn't a Diesel or something like that even though it's a large case watch.
Like I said earlier, it just became an itch I needed to scratch trying to figure it out. I appreciate the help, though.

>>17059492

https://www.jomashop.com/certina-watch-c54271534211.html

What watch should I get from my first real commission from my first real job? I like the Explorer and Oyster Perpetual but I have no AD history naturally and don't want to go grey unless it's to find a 114270 on the cheap. My current watches are a random Seiko 5 and Tissot day-date. Only catch is wristlet so nothing over 38mm please.

>>17059519
i like the left better

>>17059519
Just go and get on a waitlist for a 36mm explorer, it's not that hard to get compared to the 39. Don't call ADs go ask in person

Citizen > Seiko

>>17059519
Imo the sunburst black dial looks like shit in person. It was incredibly disappointing holding those two watches at the AD.

Can't get a decent macro shot with my phone, but this pic pretty much does it justice. It's the finishing that really makes it look more expensive than it is. The domed and coated sapphire crystal is also a nice touch. I'll probably have another look at San Martin next time I need a cheap Chinese shitter to scratch the itch.

>>17059519

Seriously though, what's the appeal to Girard Perregaux? Who buy them?
They're asking $9k for pic related, a 40mm "dress" watch with the most boring design. Why buy that instead of a JLC ultra thin? At least you'd get a JLC.
Their flagship watch is a grotesque copy of the Royal Oak and the Nautilus (literally the dial of the RO and the bracelet of the Nautilus... they're not even trying). Honestly, Girard Perregaux might be the most disgusting luxury watch brand. People who buy them should be laughed at and legally considered mentally retarded.

>>17059601
The JLC ultra thin is the most boring sterile watch ever conceived, if it didn't say jlc on the dial it would be worth no more than $1,000
Really jlc fanboys are pathetic, yes i love the brand with the most boring low effort finishing that has ever been considered luxury (somehow)

>>17059608
>The JLC ultra thin is the most boring sterile watch ever conceived
I agree, but at least you get the JLC logo. The brand contributed to watchmaking and many people know about it.
My point is, why buy a fucking Girard Perregaux with the same boring ass design when you can get the JLC for the same price?

>>17059519
the OP looks way better. proportions don't work on the explorer and the arabic numerals are retarded. the only reason the explorer is popular is that it's not the cheapest rolex

>>17059623
The double baton on the OP look retarded.
The only 36mm modern Rolex that looks good is the DJ (on jubilee).

are we fuckin with the amazon essentials, r/watches???

>>17059629
they look way better than the arabic numerals and are most likely easier to read in low light too. i will however agree that a 36mm dj is the superior watch
