Cope

Here's a meme I made for you, non-Rolex owners.

Cope, if you must (and you will)

>>17085018
this applies to Patek and is beginning to apply to Vacheron and AP. All other brands will follow.

>>17085041
Cope

>>17085040
why not? I sail a lot and camp often. A nice moonphase would be nice. If anything a moonphase is more useless on a dress watch than on a tool watch if you think about it.

>>17085093
What can you use a moon phase for?

>>17085094
to tell which phase the moon is in

>>17085026

thoughts on pic related? i don't have money btw

>>17085079
very cool

>>17085108
Pretty standard for a dive watch. If that's a rep, then it's outstanding.

I'm building a collection to which I recently added a Tissot PRX powermatic 80. Now I'm looking for an everyday kinda watch and can't seem to find anything to rival the Tissot gentleman powermatic 80... But I fear having two watches of the same brand is going to look stupid in my collection, maybe I should experience another brand before getting another Tissot? What do you guys think?

I don't get it

>>17085128
no god no its not a rep
i love it when im out in the sun and go inside and have that crazy lume

>>17085134
Pics coz I'm thinking of getting one.

Why not just wear the one you already have?

>>17085134
i'd try something that isn't a tissot, if i were you
then again a few years after my watch phase, i ended up using only 2 watches: a silver casio a158w, and a recent tissot chrono

kinda regretting all the shitty impulse buys i did with chinese shit and soviet shit

>>17085108
Rolex's lume is probably their weakest aspect. When they switched from SuperLuminova to their in-house Chromalight around 2008, that was generally considered a step down, even after they made the switch to the larger lume plots on the maxi-dials.

Chromalight is cool blue and glows very brightly for the first few minutes, but dies off very quickly compared to SuperLuminova or Seiko's Lumibright, which has a lower initial intensity but lasts much, much longer.

>>17085156
The prx is a great watch, the green dial is stunning to look at and understated enough to not look flashy even though it’s well, green.

I still think the gentleman and prx are different enough to consider getting both but I think I won’t.

>>17085118
6.5 inches

>>17085159
Damn I’d hate to feel like that after getting a watch, I really want to be conscious when buying another one. I’ll hold off on the tissot trying to find a better alternative, longines conquest 39 maybe

>>17085186
>better alternative
fyi i didn't mean my post in that tissot is bad (it's really nice, entry level, swiss, probably has saphire crystal etc)

it's just that having 2 tissots won't really expand your horizons

>>17085134
I have two watches from the same brand in a different case/dial color combination, so you can rest assured that there are people doing worse than you

Why do vintage watches cause /wt/ to seethe so much?
Is it because it breaks with the rampant mindless consoomerism in this general?

>>17085194
Vintage watches usually make their wearers happy and that's about it. Other collectors might find them interesting if the piece has any particular feature or a pedigree.
Two things are at work here making the typical /wt/ poster seethe. First if they like it they can't get one themselves. Lots of people use these threads to shop and get angry when they can't buy something they like. Nothing more exclusive than something you can't buy anymore, which is why old money has quality antiques and the odd heirloom while nouveau riche only has expensive purchases to show for and will never truly belong.
The second thing is tied to the first one, being that if they can't share your happiness, they'll try to bring you down. It's a visceral thing, nothing calculated. Just a primal urge to wipe that smile off your face with that crab in a bucket mentality.

>>17085216
Good points, I had only really thought about the consoomerism aspect.

>>17085194
>Is it because it breaks with the rampant mindless consoomerism in this general?
It doesn’t though. Chrono24 is full of vintage watches people can’t get rid of. It’s just as easy to get a vintage watch these days as a modern one unless you’re after a particularly rare model.

>>17085134

>>17085122
the hamilton one looks better imo i forget the name i think its like PSR or PLR or someshit

What about it

>>17085062
They shit the bed on the jubilee one, I liked the previous fluted bezel/linen dial/S+G jubilee much more but hollow end links kill it for me. For a brand that has been knocking it out of the park lately, they really missed on the new DD.

>>17085239
overpriced

>>17085062
You can swap the crystal, ya know.

Thoughts on the NH35 Invicta's?
I know they're almost universally hated by anyone into watches, but the fact that they have legit NH35 movements for like $70 is fascinating to me.

>>17085266
whats cheaper with similar quality genuine question cos I am shopping around

Hi my bf gave me his watch here but its pretty big :< he told me it will make me wrist look even smaller and cuter tho

>>17085279
They're solid watches for the money. W/R ratings are apparently bullshit though.

>>17085299
Cool, now you can set the correct date and time

>>17085279
If you're looking for Subbie-lookalikes, Steeldive (aliexpress brand) does it much much better than Invicta, for not much more money. They also have NH35, but with very good lume, nice looking indices (Invictas' are green and awkwardly small), cyclops with 2.5x magnification (invictas' does jackshit), sapphire crystal, fully lumed bezel, good finishing, bracelet with solid endlink, and no ugly engraving on the case.
It is the ultimate budget shink shitter

>>17085301

Funny thing.
Still no wristpic tho

>>17085579
Definitely look into it, it's a cracking watch, and you could probably find one for tree fiddy if you look around a bit. Might be a bit too large for your tiny wrists at 40,5mm though.

Love cocktail time watches, but the 38.5mm models are far more kino.

>>17085686
Yeah i agree they look even better. Both are nice.

Why are there no watches like this but for normal sized humans?

I'm looking for something with a similar feel to the BB36 but lots cheaper, any suggestions?

>>17085785
>Not white women in their early-thirties
yeah, but that's an irrelevant demographic. Such women should be married, in which case their opinion is that of their husbands.
If they're not married, then they're either lesbians or have taken so much dick as to be completely used up, in which case their opinion doesn't matter.

>>17085791
Buddy, I used to fuck women in their mid-30's to early 40's when I was in my early 20's. The best pussy you can imagine.

can you think of anything in this style (somewhat """vintage""" looking numerals, uncluttered) with a white dial instead of this light-piss beige?
there's the current Waterbury date but it has fancy looking roman numerals instead of the arabic ones, and no glowing

>>17085796
It's called a divorce, fren. What the fuck could I as a grown-ass, conservative man have in common with someone in their 20's? I would rather have a mid-30's lady that grew up when not being a cock monster was still a desirable trait and not some 20 something zoomer that has seen every dick in central Indiana

>>17085194

>I would rather have a mid-30's lady

Gerontophilia is the primary sexual attraction to the elderly. A person with such a sexual preference is a gerontophile or gerontosexual.[1]

The word gerontophilia was coined in 1901 by psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing.[2][3] It derives from Greek: geron, meaning "old person" and philia, meaning "friendship".[4] Gerontophilia is classified as a paraphilia, but is not mentioned in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or International Classification of Diseases.[2]

>>17086005
That's either delusional or trolling. Either way it should be ignored.

>>17086004
Based. The only time normies care about watches is if some super attractive celebrity wears one. Even then it's an "in one ear out the other" kind of thing.

Confusing the attention attractive people get for having an expensive watch and what you'll get is the ultimate watch cope. If you don't have paparazzi photographing you at events no one is going to care about your "collection"

>>17086040

Thoughts on the MDV106B? This is like the only semi-classy looking watch I could find for under $75. Is it any good?

>>17086080
Stick it on a nicer band and it'll be a pretty nice little diver. I'd generally prefer something like a Seiko 5 but that's, while still cheap, a much higher price bracket.

>>17086083
This. The Duro is also impressively accurate.

>>17085029
I think there's actually been a big turnaround. AP released smaller Royal oaks, Rolex shrank some, Grand Seiko has been moving from 41-40, 40-38, 38-34

>>17086080
If you can add $15 and some patience you can get something quite classier

Also, are Luch's worth it? Or are they garbage? I'm looking into buying one of each and a Vostok just to have a bit of an ex-USSR collection going on. Specially since it looks like ruskie goods might be a bit harder to get in the not-so-far future.

Cant stop lusting over shitters

Hello, my friends!
How is this lovely sunny morning treating you, and what are you wearing?

work watch, absolute beater edition.

>>17086674
wearing this and it's far from sunny, bout to rain
I'd rather that it'd be sunny and I was wearing bleu though

>>17086659
>should I get a 14270 or a modern explorer I?
Depends.
I've owned both and they're actually pretty different watches despite their superficial size and design similarities.

The 14270 is more sovlful. It has the rattly old bracelet, folded endlinks, creamy tritium lume (unless you get one of the last versions). It feels very much like an old sports watch. Realistically, though, it's still tough enough to do anything with it a person would reasonably do. You don't have to baby it.

The new 127270 is objectively the superior watch. It's movement is tougher, the lume is better, better power reserve, more accurate, the bracelet/clasp is miles beyond the old stamped sheet metal units. However, now it feels more like a dress watch disguised as a sports watch. It's an elegant watch that has lume.

Again, I've owned both, and sold both, but the 14270 is the only one I miss.

>>17086677
go catch some sun, dude

I took the JDMpill, ordered an Oceanus T200. Honestly I think I slightly prefer the S100's look but there's no multiband coverage here so the added option for set-and-forget BT sync with a phone wins out.

The only reason to buy an expensive timepiece in 2022 is because it makes your pp hard, at the end of the day. Go with what you like.

1970's Tissot Seastar quartz I recently serviced and posted about in the last thread. Gonna open it up again sooner or later as I've noticed a speck of dust on the dial and I know it will bother me until I sort it out.

>>17086719
boomers who can't see the date without a kikelops, they probably can't even tell that explorer has no date display

Is this the best watch under $3k? I'm considering buying either this or a 9F Grand Seiko of some sort.

>>17086740
what's with the date wheel color?

>>17086695
>I'm planning on retiring and doing a lot of sailing in the coming years and really want something nice and adventurous to accompany me. Anything else you might recommend around that price point?

Yes, but no. Not to sound dismissive, but people whose initial thought goes towards a Rolex means that's where they inevitably end up. You want what you want. So get that.
There are plenty of watches that are "just as good" at the same or even lower price points, but you wouldn't want any of them, like the Omega Aqua Terra, for example.

>>17086743
the datejust is even more of a cope
there is not a single datejust owner that wouldnt rather have a day date

>>17086751
Agreed.
The only non-cope Rolexes are the Day-Date, Daytona, and GMT-Master II.
Not coincidentally, this is the perfect three-watch collection. A Day-Date for daily wear, a Daytona for more casual wear, and the GMT-Master for sports/travel.

>>17086754
and even the black GMT Master is a cope for not getting the pepsi or batman

>>17086746
The movement (and watch in general) was in horrific shape when I got it on Saturday before servicing it, so it could be anything, really. I'd guess maybe UV exposure? I dunno. With how beat to shit it is, it looks like it was worn daily until it eventually shit itself catastophically with a huge battery leak at some point, so that's my best guess. See pic related for a shot of the movement with the dial removed.

Post cope watches

>>17086762
Do they still make the all-black bezel one?

Getting an old (though not vintage) Rolex is always a cope for a new one.

>>17086769
Should you also have to say what it's a cope for?

For example,
Rolex DateJust, cope for Rolex Day-Date

Most based marketing campaign of all time coming through.

>>17086784
you're a retard

>>17086744
It’s really nice. The only thing that sucks is no micro adjusts on the clasp.

>>17085183
The hands are ridiculously wide.
Paired with your baby wrists, it's like you're wearing clown shoes.

>>17086840
Why?

>>17086674
Seiko 6139, though I'm regretting not switching over to a nylon strap today.

>>17086744
Both are very good, it just comes down to personal preference.

>>17086829
The PRX is actually based on a later (I think 1976/78?) version of this watch that is powered by a Tissot 2031 movement, which I also own a beat to shit and non-running example of and plan to have a go at restoring sooner or later. Here's a pic of one in nicer condition than the one I own. I'm really surprised they didn't brand it as a Seastar desu, would have suited it way better than the PRX name which was previously used for a completely different style of watch.

Mind you, I also own a 35mm ice blue PRX and I have very few complaints about it, it's a super solid watch for the money and it's probably my favourite watch. The one thing I'm not a huge fan of is the butterfly clasp which has no on the fly microadjustment, but I kinda lucked out as mine fits me pretty much perfectly.

>>17086769
>cope
I want this word banned so much it's unreal, i'm having cope fatigue.

>>17086740
>>17086890
Neat watches, i like them both.

>>17086928
Should have just bought a Rolex then, instead of having to be reminded of your own constant coping.

>>17086674
Omega De Ville Prestige, one of my favorite watches.

On Chinese homage and DIY watches, assuming they have a similar price, would you prefer a legit 21600bph movement like the Seiko NH35/NH36 or a 28800bph clone movement like the PT5000?
I'm not sure if the potentially higher quality control and longer duration between servicing/replacing the movement on the NH35/NH36 is worth it over having a smoother sweeping seconds hand and potentially higher accuracy on the PT5000. Pic related may be a bad example since an NH35 Pagani DJ homage is almost a third of the price. However the difference in price of the movements themselves is only like $20-30 so technically you could have two watches with almost the same price.

>>17086928
>i'm having cope fatigue.
I had this when I was at the Tudor store

>>17085239
>>17085292
I'm not that guy but look at Pagani Design

>>17087015

>>17086685
Big mistake. Big. Huge.

>>17086775
kek, that one single index at 9.

>>17086948
It's a lovely watch, just for the love of all that is holy would you please put it on some nice leather strap.

>>17087046
Check out that lume!

>>17087060
What's the logical explanation for this design choice?
Why not just put a "IX"?

I'm noticing a lack of Chestertons lately, let's fix this.

>>17087073
A poor attempt at symmetry that manages to ruin the dial. No clue why they thought it was a good idea. Plenty of DJs around with the IX and it looks better.

>>17087073
>What's the logical explanation for this design choice?
It sort of balances out (but not really) the white date aperture.

>>17086674
Titus (et Solvil). Picture is from yesterday. It's my favorite brand.

>>17086765
that's really cool: i know that discolouration would likely be softened by a seller with a term like 'patina', but it's a really interesting contrast with the dial in >>17086740 looking almost pink/salmon with the cool blue face

heckin unique looking piece, bro -- very happy for ya

>>17087058
I have the link bracelet it came with when I dress up, but I probably will end up getting a leather strap for it since I don't really like the bracelet, but I was thinking something loud like red or green (the ones offered by Omega) and not the traditional Navy or black.

thoughts?

>>17087131
Get a couple straps. It's not like changing them is particularly difficult.

>>17087135
Not difficult, but pricey since I like to buy the straps from the same watchmaker.
I didn't buy third party straps for the Apple Watch, im not gonna do it for an actual watch, might be silly, but I like to keep things matching.

>>17087131
No, I do not think a red or green leather strap would look good. The NATO doesn't look good either. If you want to dress it down just get something in cow leather as opposed to alligator. Also you're getting fucked in the ass if you insist on Omega OEM straps. For the same money or less you can get a custom strap from Camille Fournet which is literally the best in the world.

Poorfag here, just looking for brand recommendations. Not sure what watch I'd like but I really like beautiful classic looks I think.
If I like the look of Bremont, Omega, Tudor, Cartier. What brands should I consider with models under around £700? I think Tissot is probably the best option here?

>>17086948
Actually I really like it, the watch itself is so incredibly understated that it doesn’t clash with the loud strap, especially since they are nicely color-coordinated. Makes is cool but not obnoxious

>>17087182
Tissot, Hamilton, Certina and maybe just maybe Longines if considering used ones. Essentially Swatch group stuff.

>>17087096
What’s the story with the brand? Why do you like them?

18k gold Tissot. Picked it up when I visited Italy a few years ago. Other than a 18k Longines I own, it is a minimalist entry into solid gold watches.

Fuck i’m fat.
Also
Tudor Royal 41mm

>>17087202
Post Longines.
I’m knd of a fan of their products

>>17087204
That watch is a lot cooler looking in real life than in pictures. I like it. I'm still waiting for them to make a version with an in-house movement.

Also, lose some weight. It can be done.

>>17087214
Yeah it’s cool although I don’t get that push for the inhouse movement. It’s cheaper to buy and service and you still have the quality there. From what I have seen movement is also nicely decorated deapite being third party

>loose some weight
Already in a process. Lost 15kgs in past few months

>>17087204
Looks a lot better on the wrist than it does in promo shots.

>>17087150
LMAO. I don't know who it is at Omega who is in charge of pricing their straps, but they're fucking delusional. This is some of the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen

>>17087076
>>17087204
Not a fan of roman numerals on sports watches.

>>17087204
just get an extra link

>>17087227
>Yeah it’s cool although I don’t get that push for the inhouse movement.
Mostly the increased power reserve. The three-day power reserve of the current Tudor models is extremely convenient. You can take your watch off on Friday evening and Monday morning it will be waiting for you, still running.

>>17087230
It does.
Honestly I’m pretty surprised how much I liked Black dial w/ gold and I don’t like yellow gold that much…. To be completely honest when the one for my wife turns up I may put an order on it. Or the GMT, but idk.
Overall I’m going to shill Tudor. Great watches honestly

>>17087240
Too loose on with that extra link (i removed one) and this photo is really shitty one to be honest.
>>17087242
Yeah.. it’s only 40hrs which isn’t great where my cheapo tissot have 80

>>17087243
>Overall I’m going to shill Tudor. Great watches honestly
For the quality, they are quite cheap and there's nothing else really like them now that Omega's been moving upmarket.

>>17087074
what is it on? a dog?

>>17087227
Low carb (fewer than 20-50 per day) is the easiest way to go. If you have never taken that route before, you'll be amazed at how the weight seems to fall right off.

And it's a great way to keep your weight level, too. If you eat like a bastard for a few days and gain a few pounds, just do low carb again for a few days, and the weight comes right back off.

As for keto itself, it's not for everyone. 20-50 carbs per day can be similarly as effective, and it makes exercise easier. Exercise on 100% keto can be rough. Exercise on 20-50 carbs per day is a breeze.

>budget
€300 or so
>watch type
field watch, 3 dials
>movement
quartz, though I'll go for an auto as well
>desired features
white dial, date, good quality glow dots, significantly different H and M dials, readily available in he EU, GMT would be cool but it doesn't matter much
>strap option
leather, though I don't mind substituting it so anything goes
>wrist size and desired watch size
16,7cm or about 6.6", 38mm or so

I love the Timex Expedition North Field Post Solar but it only comes with a black dial ffs
I like the Seiko 5 SNK803K2 but I'd much rather have a white dial than a champagne one and I'd rather have a quartz watch
I like the Explorer II 16570 but it's a tad too big and much, much too expensive
I like the Timex North Field Post Mechanical but I'd rather have a quartz watch
I like the Timex North Sierra 41mm but it's too big and it has a champagne dial

>>17085738
>he wears watches for women

>>17087252
I'm retarded. I misread kg as lb.

bros, I think im in a paneristi now. I tried this 42mm submersible on at the local panerai store this past saturday and it surprised me so much. the question is, is this good for my first dive watch? right now have a speedy and looking to add a good dive watch to it and have been looking at a 124060 or a 4 line 14060m or a doxa carbon

>>17087243
>Honestly I’m pretty surprised how much I liked Black dial w/ gold and I don’t like yellow gold that much
Same here. I normally hate 2-tone but that combination in 38mm had me weighing whether to try out Grampacore.

>>17087253
I'll give you a recommendation that fits all your criteria if you 100x your budget. Unironically.
>>17087259
Buy the Submariner if it's an option. I like the Submersible too but you're going to take a bath on it, never buy Panerai new but be extremely careful buying them used too because there are a shitload of very good fakes out there.

>>17087250
> For the quality, they are quite cheap and there's nothing else really like them now that Omega's been moving upmarket.
Fucking this.
When I finally made enough money for Moonwatch and went to Omega butique for that edition with medal and other shit got the news that I can’t get that and it’s already like 2k€ more.
And Tudor is preatty reasonably priced. 1926 line ican go below 2k€ and I got my Royal for about 2k - a bit less than msrp

>>17087259
>the question is, is this good for my first dive watch?
Yes, it's fine, but get a discount, since it's pretty expensive for what it is. Ask the AD and they'll hook you up. (About 20% is standard) See if you can get them to throw in some straps too. They're usually pretty good about that.

>>17087260
Pull the trigger

>>17087253
Only thing that comes to mind. Can't speak on the quality but it's pretty close to your specs.

>>17087236
lel, i never paid more than 25€ for a strap and they have been complimented quite a few times, here as well as irl.

>>17087074
Shave.

>>17087253
Just get one of those Lineage chronographs and be done with it.

>>17087236
>put $3k strap on $20 mall watch
>noone will ever steal it

>>17087236
Most OEM straps are like that. Look up how much patek, JLC, or whoever charges for leather straps and you'll see the same shit.

>>17087200
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvil_et_Titus

the brand is the watch industry in a nutshell and on cocaine. from the cheapest plastic quartz models to luxury precious metal and diamond watches with inhouse calibres. from outright rolex/cartier/omega/seiko/you-name-it copies (of broad quality range) to the most beautiful standalone designs of any kind. from art deco to 70s to futurism. from tool to diver, from dress to chronograph. this brand did it all. if you would own every watch they every produced you would come close to owning a watch of every niche that ever existed.

also that name.

>>17087307
The fact that you can get a strap from Patek for the same price is not a ringing endorsement for Omega. It's the complete opposite.

>>17087320
Jesus almighty

>>17087324
It's not just patek is my point, all the big watchmakers are doing it.

>>17087325
told you. and oh, every watch has one detail that is weirdly off. like here >>17087320 they went through the trouble of printing a nice little frame around the date window but the cylops doesnt match the shape.

I couldn't figure what the fuck was up with these and thought it was some sort of money laundering scheme. Actually I think they throw these things in or maybe it's some extremely overpriced option when you buy an iced out Nautilus? Not sure but it's really hard to find any images of these things.

>>17087364
