>>17083577
Nobody cared, you 're just being annoying

Is there an homage or mod watch that gets close to the Seiko SKX015? I want a 38mm diver with pepsi band and specifically like the SKX indices and hands design, lack of cyclops but still date (day doesn't matter but I don't mind it), and minimal amount of text on the dial.

That anon tried to cope last thread by saying this wasn't an Armitron

Point and laff at they/them!

Is there a more pathetic brand than Glashutte Original?
Girard Perregaux maybe?
Gosh I hate these faux HH brands.

>>17083622
Don't be shitting on Bauhaus watches....

....you do want me to lose my smile.

>>17083624
Can we range ban the ESLs already?

>>17083625
thanks for replying so soon

Hublot gave me a big hard cover catalogue

>>17083622
The solution is easy, just don't buy them.

>>17083622
Great watch, awful dial color. Thankfully there's other dial options.

>>17083622
>minion or da bob

>>17083630
I find these watches visually offensive and I'll only find peace when the brands that make them will go out of business.
Look at that... fucking hell that's revolting.

Jesus anon, how many watches did you try?

>>17083632
finally some good content

/wt/ I NEED YOUR HELP!
First week on my new office job in NYC, I NEED a watch I can take to the office that will impress normie coworkers and Stacy receptionist. Can’t be an Apple Watch, all the interns wearing that. Can’t afford a Rolex yet either. What whatch will these normies respect? So far I’ve spotted: 4 rolex dj, 2 subs, 1 ladies Cartier, 1 ladies dj, 1 omega (it’s tiny, don’t know what it is but looks like a knocoff Rolex Cellini) 2 AP (one of them is boss), a cartier tank (or a must?) and a really nice watch with Hispanic name (I think) on an ostrich strap. Oh and an invicta but they don’t make fun of it because a black guy wears it. I think.

>>17083644

many such cases

>>17083662
They sure do love big watches, which is anything because a few more sub 40mm GS models would be nice

>>17083624
Is GO Bauhaus or do you just call anything German Bauhaus?

>>17083668
The geographical differences for what Rolex models are available for exhibition purposes is wild, I don't think any of my nearest ADs have anything less than ladies watches.

>>17083667
how is that Not a Bauhaus?

>>17083667
GO is not Bauhaus. Americans don't know what Bauhaus means. Best to just ignore them.

>>17083667
Better not to engage these retards who can't string together a coherent post. GO has a lot of problems but it has nothing to do with bauhaus and everything to do with the fact that the fuckhead in charge over there insists on making all dress watches 40mm to start and up to 44mm for complicated models.

>>17083677
Pic related, a watch with a really cool mechanism and solid design that is ruined by making it FOURTY FOUR fucking millimeters. Hire me to run the fucking company and I'll fix it, goddamn Germoids are retarded

>>17083691
Yeah I thought you guys would appreciate seeing some popular watches on a 6.5 in wrist. I’m probably gonna buy a bb36 soon and cope with one of those till Rolex calls me

>>17083689

>>17083690
Just take your L with dignity already.

>mfw looking at German watches

why do they even bother?

>>17083700
u didn't even try on the bb, bb

>>17083707
Because every once in a while their crippling autism allows them to develop a watch like this.

>>17083709
I tried it on a month ago. I was waiting for the new in house movement two tone one but it’s gonna be waitlisted like a Rolex and they said they won’t even have an In store model to try on

>>17083571
>>17083576
Lmao, did you try these on at Alson jewelers in Beachwood, Ohio?

>>17083719
It's perfect. Like it was made for 6.5 wrists.

>>17083725
No I was at the tourist mall in Orlando

>>17083719
Don't buy it anon.
It's an EAT movement with a 36h PR cased into a 2k Rolex cope.

>>17083729
The whole point is the complication there champ.

>>17083719
I can't fap to this!

>>17083738
Oh wow, some fancy complications in a watch that fails at telling you the time.

>>17083735
Power reserve means nothing to me. I wear my metal G-SHOCK all week. I full expect to pick it up and set it each time I wear it even if it’s 72hr power reserve. One of the reasons I don’t want a date complication.

And I’m comfortable with coping with it. I’m 27 and I just want a Rolex by when I’m 30 so I’m going to just keep going to the ad every weekend till they sell me an op36 or explorer

>>17083735
he's not talking about the one with the ETA movement

>>17083734
Ah, okay. there was some guy last time I stopped at my AD who was maybe the lamest guy I've ever seen. All about hype watches tried on tons of watches and took pictures with every one of them.

>>17083744
I don't see how you being retarded is the fault of the watch.

>>17083745
So you're going to spend 2k on a BB36 and then 6k on an Explorer?
You can get an Explorer on the grey for 8k.

Me mate fat Baz is selling fake rollies at £10 quid a pop. Fink he got them from china.

>>17083576
At least edit your photos, you ape.

Thoughts?

>>17083753
Yes I may go gray market. Davidsw wants to sell me an op34 olive dial for 8k and I’m thinking about it.

I’m pretty patient though I mean I don’t mind stacking more paychecks before buying an expensive watch either.

>>17083754
>not "Choyna"

so close

>>17083761
Worst case scenario if you buy the watch:
>Rolex prices crash back to reality
>you might lose a couple grand if you have to sell for whatever reason
>you have a Rolex
Worst case scenario if you don’t buy the watch:
>Rolex prices keep climbing until even more OPs are unobtainium
>you’re forced to either pay $12k for an OP or cope with a Tudor
The choice is yours

>>17083759
The bezel material looks cool! What is it?

Or
>beat the hell out of a Tudor for a few years

>>17083770
sapphire

>>17083770
It's made from bezelium.

>>17083767
Pretty much this.
I wouldnt spend 8k on that OP though.

>>17083771
A Tudor is half a Reverso. Or 1/7 of a Traditionelle. Food for thought.

>>17083774
Other materials used include caseium, braceletium, claspium, dialium, handium, indexium and movementium.

>>17083777
i like the reverso but that shape watch on my nerdwrist looks bad

>>17083781
It’s just an example of what else you could spend the money on.

>>17083755
i dont even remember trying this on i was so nervous lol. The lady was super cool

>>17083781
i mean of all the watches i posted in this thread and last doest the bb36 look the best on me (of the non rolex)?

>>17083786
How much did they wanted for it?

>>17083774
I'm retarded for laughing at this

>>17083814
135k

when are they gonna do it, bros?

>>17083869
Why do you a question that already contains the answer and why is it because you're retarded?

>>17083869
Here's the real question: why are Gshocks all overpriced as fuck in britbongland and europe.
Average model is around £100 and while sure they're rugged enough to get run over by a truck that's still two and a half times the price of getting one in the US.
I see cheaper alternatives from unheard of brands I reflexively assume are cheap knockoff shit on Amazon, but retarded as you all are I have to wonder if there isn't other eurofags in here who have had the same issues and actually do know of alternatives.

>>17083649
Uhhh, 1k, might be able to pump it op to 2k.

Anyone know anything about picrel? Haven't been able to find anything online

It's Magnum time

How do you cope with scratching the face of your watch? I noticed I had a few nicks on my F-91w's crystal today and it ruined my mood (yes i know it's cheap, but still)

>>17083949
It's crap, throw it away and buy another.

Took the /pol/tard to the zoo. Was fun. I am a sucker for thick thighs and a nice ass, especially on a blonde. No pointing because that would have gave up the game.

>>17083916
Loads of shit is overprice in eurocuck land. Basic ass running shoes are overpriced, ordinary food is overpriced, it's probably some combination of high taxes, import fees, high energy costs, high labor costs and other bullshit

Why yes, I do not associate myself with black monkies.

Thinking of building an OP. Which color should I go for? My first impulse is the yellow, but that's not gonna work with 99% of anything I would wear outside of the house.

>>17084030
Is this supposed to be unique?

>>17084043
>Unimpressed by Rolex
Okay, now lets see yours.

>>17084041
Go Tiffany Blue so you can immediately disappoint any potential woman whe she asks to see the watch.

>>17084048
>she asks to see the watch
No woman would ask to see a watch. No normie outside certain Chinese business circles notices or cares what watch you wear. A watch, to normies, is a piece of jewelry. It should be "pretty."
If a women is judging you by anything at all, it's your shoes.

>>17084015
Fuck.
I suppose then I might just have to look and see if there are any native euro brands that do the same thing but for cheaper. Thing is that US g-shock shilling means they're the automatic go-to for everyone and I barely see a single comment on the other brands besides shit like the ironman (which is usually only brought up because someone was talking about a g-shock).
Otherwise I'm stuck between buying an overpriced probably dropshipped sports watch or an even more overpriced all bells and whistles g-shock.

>>17083869
literally every gshock FAN is hideous. no exceptions

>>17084043
Hey monkey are you counting bananas or something? Still waiting for your response.

>>17084064
I like the Ironman. Thing is Gshocks have an autistic fan base and casio knows they have an autistic fan base that will snap up every variation of Gshock they make just like a fat kid getting chips at a grocery store.

The Ironman is good, the displays have much better digits and indiglo backlighting is goat. Even the basic 30 lap has features you only see on premium Gshocks. Buttons are also really easy to press, especially the lap button and it's only 38 mm.

Downsides are that it's not solar and there's no sync. Also if you press a button under water it'll get fucked up even though it's 100M. And Timex gives basically 0 shits about them, so it's hard to look at models on Timex's site. But they are priced like shitters so they're $20-50

Just got back from the AD with this. Still waiting for the 28mm version for my wife.
And you know the funniest thing? I got place on the fucking waitlist for Oyster Perpetual!
Drinks on me today lads

>>17084047
if he's unimpressed by Rolex, why would he have one?

I'm in the market for a new watch with a $4k usd budget. Something sporty but something that isn't fuck huge. I want to change up my watch collection have two high end pieces, one for every day at work and one for more formal times at work, so essentially a dress watch and a sports watch

>>17084054
Almost any woman knows about the Tiffany Blue fad, now. Blame stupid chick's magazines.

so you want to use an inferior product just to be different?
cringe

>>17084143
I know, that's what's inspired me to build a watch with it. The text is hard to read on the red, the blue is a meme (which I discounted because of that) and the yellow is right out for the stated reason. I was leaning towards the red but >>17084048 has me thinking of the blue again. It's meme-ful.

>>17084138
Sucks, buddy. Go find a cutie and take her to the zoo. She some dolphins, get some margaritas, get your dick touched afterwards. If it makes you feel better, I'm 37 and haven't been on a date in 13 years until recently, but I was married

How does /fa/ feel about smaller dials on watches that currently come in monster truck sizes?

>>17083869
The GW-B5600 is the best value in a square. Unfortunately they like limiting their release, specially in the US. Maybe they are afraid of cannibalizing the sales of inferior squares.

From the vault

>>17084128

>>17083605
You could get the parts and build it yourself, or have someone build it for you.
As for alternatives, there's also a 38mm Islander that's pretty much an SKX homage with a better movement, and similar bezel insert options. AFAIK it's compatible with most SKX aftermarket parts as well.

>>17084080
All fair points but the water button issue is a dealbreaker, I absolutely do phys in water and I wouldn't even want to chance it.
Then again all the Ironman models are actually within my intended price range, so at the very least at least now my budget option isn't a Smael knockoff.
I guess I just gotta nut up and maybe begin saving for one of the more expensive ones, figures I could really do with solar power even if I don't need something like an atomic clock or whatever.

recommend me a 36mm true moonphase that has a big complication please. No roman numerals thanks . pic related is out of stock but that would have been my choice

>>17084309
At this point just wait if it recovers enough for you to get a Speedy and just be a one watch man.

>>17084301
I'll just post somebody else's

That's how you guys do on here, right? LOL

>>17084324
Pussy

>>17084146
do they customize them later or do they start with a fake right away?

>>17084276
Having it custom made seems like the best option. I can get any size and look I want with better quality materials.

ID?

>>17083575
On a GMT, the additional hand, the red one with the triangle tip, is geared at half the speed of the hour hand. It does a complete revolution of the watchface every 24 hours rather than every 12. You set the bezel to be your secondary timezone by offsetting it from your primary one.

>>17084080
I had a Timex Ironman the better part of ten years ago I really liked. Had a super spartan design and their 'indiglo' was nice.

It's just obvious you never touched a woman.

>>17084578
Because I said a woman enjoying just Rolexs and Apple Watches is being a brand whore? That's a lot of implication from one post anon.

>>17084578
i hope she sees this and lets you fuck her :)

Reminder to remove your batteries the fucking second your watches die, and to never buy chinkshit batteries in the first place. Recently bought this Tissot Seastar from the 70's with Tissots first ever in-house quartz movement (Tissot 2030) for 20 quid and this is what I found inside of it. Complete fucking shitshow, but I've managed to clean it up and get it running. Took me an afternoon, but I got there. All of the green shit is corrosion.

>>17084587
Here's how bad it was underneath after scraping some of the shit off of it. This all ran directly under the electronic module, which is what I think was preventing the watch from running.

>>17084580
Yes.
You clearly don't understand women psychology.
Women are weaker than men and bear children. Their natural instinct tell them to be attracted by men who can protect them and provide for them. That's why women like strong guys or rich guys.
Wearing an expensive watch (like a Rolex) is a way of signaling women your fridge will never be empty.
Only virgins and incels don't know that (or refuse to aknowledge it).

>>17084589
After cleaning and (mostly) reassembly, got it to look like this, really fun movement to work on.

>>17084594
Cleaned up pretty well, nice.

>>17084592
I do hope incels someday all disappear. All the problems of the world are caused by these insignificant member of the Population.

>>17084592
Or you can find a girl with EBT and she will fill the fridge for you

>>17084592
>calls others incels while saying all women just desire rich men

>>17084594
Fully reassembled (minus battery) in this pic. Honestly amazed it runs after such a bad leak. I originally bought this with the intention to use its dial and crown for another watch, but since getting it working again, it's really grown on me.

>>17084592
Anon, you're the incel if you truly believe that crap.

>>17084580
>>17084580
Thing is we women don't really need a man anymore right now. Only reason we prefer men with rolex is because it shows they take care of themselves. The same way we women spend money to look on dates we expect you men to at least can afford a rolex. Have some self respect anon. You'll never get a girl like that.

>>17084592
And by the way, this simple fact about women psychology explains why every watch brand (including PATEK) will forever be a Rolex cope.
Rolex is universally known as the "expensive watch brand" by women all over the world.
I could walk into an african village or a chinese megalopolis with my DJ on my wrist and have all the local women drooling over me.

Do you faggots unironically believe women will appreciate you for your personality?
They will literally get naked and get on their knees if you're rich and handsome, just to have a chance with you.

>>17084606

>>17084605
>it shows they take care of themselves

>>17084603
Annnnd, the ugly peak 70's retro futuristic frontside of it now it's reassembled. The dial in it is in amazing condition, but the crystal is scratched to shit. Considering I used 0 replacement parts and planned on parting it out to repair another watch, I'm very happy with how it turned out in the end. Maybe I'll keep it in one piece afterall.
>>17084598
Thanks Anon, I had 0 servicing guides to work with so I just kinda winged it and luckily managed to figure it out with trial and error. Had fun, got a watch for cheap out of it, good times all around.

I figure I might as well, watches are just jewelry at this point anyway considering smart phones have accurate time if you're desperate. Even then, fakes these days are much better than shit from 20 years ago and even experts have gotten in trouble for reselling fakes by mistake.

>hurrr niggers are wearing Rolex
You know what, I hate nigs as much as anyone else here, but you well manered domesticated faggots fail to understand something about them : nigs are basically a more bestial version of ourselves. They are less refined, a lot more primitive in their relationships. If you observe their mating rituals, you'll notice the females are straight up attracted by the males with the more wealth. It's that simple. And no, whites are no different.
You may find it tasteless, but an ugly nig with a huge tacky golden Rolex will always be more successful with women than you, whether you wear a white gold ALS Datograph or a plastic G-Shock.

This was basically my point in this post >>17084606
Rolex is the only way to go because women only know Rolex.
Truth is, you don't need a watch. So might as well be the only brand that trully matters.
Real of fake. Doesn't matter. But just get a Rolex.

>>17084688
They'll be successful with a demographic of women that are pretty gross.

>>17084700
I can post a pic of my unaltered dick to prove no rabbi sucked my cock when I was a baby, but that would got me banned (and it might arouse you).
Look, whites are on the decline only because fags like you refuse to accept the most obvious truth and conform to some societal norms (like wearing a Rolex to get sweet pussy).
Whites are pretty much the strongest and smartest race. If you stopped being faggots for a second, the whole world would fear us again.
Buy yourself a Rolex, treat women like properties and start lifting.

Holy shit, that's a super rad digital collection.
>can't use the "knife" on cheap watches
What type of knife are you using to try and open your watches? I've found that those cheap ebay watch knives with the red or yellow handles are shit and slip way too easily, so I just use a cheap folding knife I got as a gift years ago. Seems to work every time, and I haven't cut myself with it (yet) but I have cut myself with eBay watch knives.
>can't use the tripod tool to open my tissot either
Those tripod tools are also very hit and miss, if you get a good or decent quality one I hear they're actually pretty good, but all of my tools are cheap shit for the mostpart and I just make do with them. What kind of caseback does your Tissot have exactly? I've found that the two pronged tools often work way better for screw down casebacks than the three prongs for whatever reason.
>went to the watchmaker with my tail between the legs
0 shame in this, I do the same thing myself for 99% of shit I own. I only attempt repairs on shit that'd be uneconomical to pay an actual watchmaker to repair for me and I don't mind fucking up in the worst case scenario.

Which Tissot do you have BTW? Just curious. I own a 35mm PRX, the Seastar I showed above, and the watch the new PRX was inspired by (but it's fucked and needs repairing).

>>17084615
>just to have a chance with you.

>>17084737
pic related, the shitty chinese tools and the back of the tissot (2011 prc 200 chronograph quartz)

just tried a folding knife on a watch with a dead battery, unfortunately no improvements. but i'll try that again next time on other watches, maybe i'll save a bit of troubles.

>>17084737
really liking your tissots btw
almost bought one like this when i first got into watches
but i think they're small for today's standards? never saw one irl

in the end i fell in love with the one i have because of a pic i found online (pic rel) and found one for 150 € + 50 € for handmade italian leather

>shitty chinese tools
Oh man, that's the exact toolkit I got years back when I first got into this autism, it comes with some super blunt tweezers and a little plastic rectangular thing with all of the bits for the caseback tool in it, right? I absolutely destroyed a busted quartz Lorus with one of these like 10+ years ago, lol.
>really liking your tissots btw, almost bought one like this when i first got into watches but i think they're small for today's standards? never saw one irl
Thanks man, they range from 34 - 37mm aprox, so they work well for pretty much every wrist size IMO. I do have skeleton wrists mind you, so anything above 36mm is pushing it for me. I'd honestly give a smaller watch a try sometime if you're used to larger stuff btw, they can be a nice change up from what you're used to and they're mad comfy on warmer days where you want something a little less bulky to wear.
>in the end i fell in love with the one i have because of a pic i found online (pic rel) and found one for 150 € + 50 € for handmade italian leather
Looks really really nice on the leather from what I can see from the back in that first pic, and oddly enough, even though I'm not a huge fan of NATO's on my own watches, something about it looks really nice in that pic you took. I think it's probably the second hands matching up with the centre stripe that really just werks. Nice watch man, I can see why you fell in love with it, looks great, but probably 2big4me.
>one of the few relatively expensive things i bought that i don't regret
Same here with my PRX, Tissot really deliver a lot of bang for their buck IMO.

Pic of my next project piece attached too btw. Friend is sending it from the US, so might be a hot minute before it arrives.

Look, it's pretty simple really.
You can't afford a Rolex, therefore you're seething.
That's all there is to know.
What I don't get though, is why won't you save some money to buy a Rolex? It's not that hard. A Rolex is surprisingly affordable, relatively to the joy it will give you.

>>17084884
What the larpers don't understand (and why it's so easy to pick out larpers from actual Rolex owners) is that, to a Rolex owner, buying a Rolex is no great accomplishment. No Rolex owner needs to flex that he owns a Rolex any more than someone who owns a Volkswagen.

They're just nice, sturdy watches.

>all these anons seething that they can’t afford a Rolex

>>17084897
The fact that you can’t walk into a store and buy one makes owning a new Rolex a flex no matter what.

Threadly reminder, the only watches women will actually acknowledge is Cartier. Also, basically no one in real life will acknowledge your 10k+ watch. I have literally only had two people comment about my watches. One was /pol/tard that liked my Tank. The other is a client that asked if my Omega was a Rolex.
>Is that a Rolex
>No, it's an Omega
>Huh, looks like a Rolex

I have one, great watch: titanium is comfy and the creamy markers are nice and classy. It's a bit thick thought but it's light. The clasp is a great, I love it and use it often if I work out (I like the bracelet to be snug).

It's fairly unique, can't go wrong

>>17084937
>t. Incel hands typed this post

>>17084943
Left hand, I like that the crown does not dig into my wrist. Nobody would normally operate the Crown while wearing the watch anyway so it's no a downside for usability.

>>17084952
Interesting. I know a couple lefties who wear their watch on their right hands and both of them say they don't like dedicated lefty watches because they got so used to never having the crown against their wrist.

>>17084950
>t. G-Shock tard

>>17084958
Now that watches are automatic and accurate enough that you ajust them once in a while, no reason to have the crown accessible. It's almost an anachronism.

>>17084936
Yeah a 2022 fully loaded truck is a flex are you implying it’s not?

>>17083700
am i rtetardterd? how is he taking this picture?

>>17084964
I have a watch with the crown tucked away into the side of the case, makes it look sleek. There should be more 'crownless' watches out there imo.

Get off the internet at least a few hours per day.
The overwhelming majority of Rolex owners are middle-managers with stagnant careers who bought theirs because they decided they needed a nice watch. They don't care about other people's watches and barely care about their own.
