>>17103404
How’s the garden going, m’am?

God I want one so bad but I know its gonna be a unregulated piece of shit

This watch seems versatile, I dress somewhat formal (polo shirts, button ups, nice jeans, and slacks). Is there a problem if I'm wearing colors that might not exactly match the watch like green and shit?

>>17103426
Not Arab fren, tho trying to learn the language.

Fucking schizos I swear.

>>17103466
8L35 is on the top end of their movements, it's quite good i think.

Are watches insured? If so how? Basically what happens if you're out jogging and some jogger robs you?

>>17103501
Just shoot him with your m16.

>>17103482
Yeah, the fashion gestapo will hunt you down and send you to a reeducation camp.

>>17103482
That's not formal at all. You'll be fine with a diver. It will look retarded with actual formal wear, however.

>>17103482
Anon you have autism. Your watch not matching your shirt is the least of your concerns

>>17103500
Loool it's shit, it's worse than an eta 2842 and seiko rates that wath for ±25 seconds a day or something equally absurd

>>17103519
So you wouldn't wear that watch with a button up and slacks? (Untucked shirt)

>>17103524
Worse than a 2824 is an exaggeration, but seiko really does need to tighten up those accuracy specs. Even if they perform better 99% of the time it looks sloppy as shit on a watch >$800. Inexcusable.

>>17103494
Huh?

>>17103482
Post what you are wearing right now. I’ll tell you if that’s one of your concerns.

>>17103537
Only for you buddy, don't share this with anyone.

>>17103524
Someone took an unregulated SLA037 (which has a 8L55 which i believe isn't that much different than th 8L35) to a watchmaker and it had zero positional variance. The watchmaker regulated it and it kept perfect time ever since. I can't rfind the article right now but it was genuinely good.

>>17103466
Very strange to me that Seiko finds -10/+15/d acceptable in a movement that they brag is hand-made in their GS factory. Guess they need to try and get people to buy their ghastly full blown GS diver somehow.

>>17103531
I do wear divers with dress shirts and slacks, even with a blazer. However I wouldn't wear it with a suit, even without a tie because it just looks too sporty which makes it seem completely out of place.

Also, if you want to wear a diver with a dress shirt, make sure you tailor your cuffs to accommodate the size as most divers are a bit bulkier. Having creased cuffs is a bad look regardless of the watch.

If you really want to do a more sporty watch with a suit or other more formal wear, you should go with a much subtle and sleek watch, something along the lines of Rolex Oyster Perpetual.

>>17103548
It's not that the movements can't be adjusted to excellent precision and accuracy, it's that Seiko doesn't bother doing so out of the factory. That's the problem. Companies like Rolex, JLC, etc take the time to make sure their watches are good out of the box.

PATEK FANS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>I am mildly entertaining the idea of consolidating some of my lesser worn watches into a higher end watch -- like a Patek. I don't know that I will actually do this, but I'm considering it. So, I decided it was time to take a trip to my friendly neighborhood Patek AD.

>I don't know what I was expecting, but I thought I would at least see some of the less hyped models in the cases; alas, not a single Patek in the display cases. I then struck up a conversation with the sales rep about current availability. I told him that I was in no particular rush, but curious if it would be possible to get a Patek. To be clear, I was not looking for a Nautilus or an Aquanaut -- I know those are impossible to get a retail. I explained that I was mostly interested in a Calatrava, like a 6119G or 5227R, but would certainly be open to something else. The sales rep explained that it would be very difficult to get one, but I should keep in touch. At that point, however, the conversation took an interesting turn.

>As I was walking out, the sales rep stated that Patek would really prefer that I have a sales history. It was suggested that I buy my wife a Patek, so that my name could be registered with Patek and improve my chance at getting another watch. I was told that I could have a watch for my wife very soon, and that I should purchase it. I've heard other stories about ADs explicitly requesting purchases of women's watches or less popular models to get another watch, typically a Rolex, but I had not had this experience before. So, I kept the discussion going to see what it would take to be considered for a Patek at this AD.

>>17103569
>I have been eyeing the new IWC Pilot Chrono with the bronze case and blue dial, and the AD actually had one in the case. So, I asked him to show it to me (great watch, btw, though the case is quite tall). As I was looking at the IWC, the rep told me that buying that watch really wouldn't "help me." I was told I needed to purchase a JLC to improve my chances at getting a Patek. Not just any JLC, mind you, but a MUT Perpetual Calendar in Pink Gold -- a watch that comes with a $37,300 price tag. As an aside, the JLC MUT Perpetual in Pink Gold is an absolutely stunning watch, just not one I ever considered buying for myself. That was not the end of the discussion either. I was told to purchase the JLC, after which I could get a couple of Rolexes and then maybe I would be offered a Patek. I was also explicitly told twice that I need to purchase whatever Patek is offered to me.
>So, according to the rep I spoke with yesterday, getting a Patek will require me to 1) buy a Patek for my wife, 2) by a $37,300 JLC and 3) buy a couple of Rolexes. At that point, I might have the opportunity to purchase whatever Patek is offered to me. Needless to say, the visit cured me of my desire to consolidate and buy a Patek. While I love some of the Patek watches, the cost of the watch combined with all the other things I would need to purchase is a bit high. I now understand why some purchase from gray dealers.

>>17103571
I hope that whoever buys any IWC watch is automatically banned from purchasing any Patek Philippe for life

>>17103558
1) It's a fucking seiko
2) they're generally much better than the paper specs

>>17103582
They charge an extra $2,000 for otherwise identical watches that have an 8l35 instead of a lesser movement, they couldn't at least bother to act like it's worth the money.

That's true, but when you get one that loses 15 seconds per day, their customer service will respond with "Eh, it's within spec. What do you want?"

This isn't just limited to regular Seiko. Grand Seiko's marketing talks about how they're regulated to better-than-chronometer, but their target spec that's actually in the owner's manual calls for -5/+10 seconds per day for a non-high beat mechanical movement. (High beat is -1/+8)
Imagine spending that much for a Grand Seiko, having it gain 10 seconds per day and being told to be happy with that?

All the big name high end watchmakers do this shit.

>>17103655
>>17103656
For a while it only happened with Rolex and even then only with the super-popular models.
Since the watch market boomed it's been happening to a bunch of other brands as well.

That said, though, Patek has ALWAYS played fuck-fuck games with their customers.
They keep real close track of the second hand market and if they see your watch for sale, they will refuse to sell you any more.
For the really interesting complications and limited edition pieces, if you haven't demonstrated your enthusiasm for the brand going back years, don't even bother asking.

Who’s cunt enough to buy a patek?

>>17103656
>>17103664
it makes sense for an AD to do this, they need to unload their inventory somewhere, but for an exclusive boutique it doesn't compute this practice

>>17103670
Well Patek is doing it to avoid what is happening with Rolex. Patek doesn't mind vintage Pateks going for a fortune at auction, but they know it's not good for their image if a brand new piece sells to some guy for 100k and he immediately turns around and sells it for 300k to some other guy who couldn't get it from the AD.

It's their version of trying to prevent the gray market bullshit that currently makes the Rolex scene so insufferable.

>>17103681
They should stop caring what happens to their product once it leaves the fucking shop.

God I hate indians.

>>17103681
That’s great and all but what is the fucking point if an AD wants you to spend $60k on dead stock before they will even give you a Patek, and even then they’ll give you something you didn’t even ask for? Why on earth wouldn’t any sane human just go grey market at that point?

>>17103691
>God I hate indians.

that's pretty standard for every mechanical watch. if you want accurate get a quartz.

fuck off, -10/+15 is standard for cheap watches, and even then you can feel ripped off when your 500$ watch loses or gains that much
it's a completely unacceptable interval of deviation for anything over 1k
yet, I don't believe that Seiko would sell that movement at such a shit condition, the spec sheet is probably exclusively made because of americans, you fags can't take your morning shit without suing anyone

>>17103569
>>17103571
Let's be honest, at this point Patek are purely made for speculation. Only a small percentage of Patek are actually worn by their owners, the vast majority of them just sit in bank safes waiting to be sold.
That's insane when you think about it... To have the chance of buying one, you have to belong to a club. The rite of passage to join the club is to spend thousands of $/€ on watches that don't hold their value. That means the value of the Patek you'll end up buying will cover the drop of value of the other watches you had to buy, and you'll still make a benefit.

I just realized why I obsess over watches: it's because they all suck. It's impossible to make a good one, therefore the search is unending.

>>17103423
I've never understood the inverted watch thing. I guess it makes more sense as it's traditionally done with a women's watch which is often much smaller but even then, it's just less practical and it feels like it's much more likely to get in the way.

Why would you go to their customer service in the first place? You take it to your preferred watchmaker for a regulation and that's it.

How accurate is a Patek or an AP or an UN and stuff like that anyway? I have never seen anyone talk about their accuracy.

>>17104456
Men are beasts of curiosity. It's not specific to watches. That just happens to be the specific one for some men. Other men have other things that interest them most. It's all about learning about something, seeking it out, and obtaining it. Not much different than hunting or acquiring Ongobo's Advanced Premium Flint.

For me, having a roman numeral on 9 would be more awkward as the day on 3 is in arabic. I slightly prefer the layout of the pic related model on a bracelet I can get for $260, but I'm petty enough to consider the lack of Presage branding a major plus for previous model.

>>17104456
>are they a substitute for jewelry that we aren't really allowed to wear?
watches are the most inconspicuous and manly kind of jewelry, not only can they be incredibly expensive and serve as a flex as other jewelry while being comparatively more simple on the outside, but they also have utility on top of mere looks which other jewelry doesn't have

I looked out of curiosity and you can get a BNIB 5227R off Chrono24 right now for $35k-$40k which is about MSRP. So you’d be paying over double to get some random dead stock Patek from the AD. Pure mental illness.

>>17104484
>Why the fuck is JLC considered lower tier than Patek in the first place.
Mostly because JLC's history is that of a quasi-engineering firm in the watch world instead of watchmakers themselves.
JLC is nearly as famous for their own products as they are for putting the movements in other people's watches.

Think about it, people gush about some vintage VC or PP or Cartier
>It's even got a JLC movement!
more than they gush about actually owning a JLC itself.

As an owner of a couple of them, I get where they're coming from. JLCs tend to be plain and understated on the outside. When they do try to do something stylish, it ends up being a chaotic mess, even if the movements themselves are always great.

tl;dr: JLCs are for movement nerds.

Donor watch containing a Tissot 2031 movement came in for a project I'm hoping to make a start on in the next couple of weeks when the watch I'm looking to repair arrives from my friend in the US, but I decided to tear it down for a quick early look anyways as I've never worked on a 2031 before. This thing is such a fucking dog it's unbelievable. I usually feel kinda bad using something for parts instead of fixing it, but I have absolutely 0 problem in this case as it's completely beyond saving. Will post some pics to show you what I mean in a sec.

>>17104593
Well fuck. Maybe I'll to try to flip the new Baltic then.

A Citizen Chronomaster is my affordable one-and-done dream watch. Fite me.

>>17104612
I really need to fuck something again.

>>17104608
What’s with the glove and baby oil? Are you fingering yourself again?

>>17104608
So, as soon as this thing arrived, it was missing the battery clamp screw, and was just generally fucking filthy inside, luckily the battery clamp screw that the seller said was "missing" turned out to just be wedged between the movement ring and dial (epic), so I managed to fit a battery and the stepper motor fired up briefly before stopping and showing 0 signs of life. I figured it could maybe be corroded pick-ups on the bottom of the electronics module, so I removed it and noticed how blackened some of the wheels are. From here, I fitted the electronics module back onto the movement and proceeded to disassemble the other part of the movement to explore further and it just gets worse.

>>17104611
Look at me mom I’m Grand Seiko!

>>17104456
You can wear earrings, bracelets, rings, chaines.. what’s your gay point?

>>17104614
If you had a Rolex you'd be drowning in 18 years old pussies.

>>17104460
I fucking hate black guys

>>17104615
>What’s with the glove and baby oil? Are you fingering yourself again?
Yes, how else do you expect me to make the space in my anus big enough to hide my watch in there if I'm ever stuck in a POW camp?
>>17104616
The case is a horrible gouged and banged to shit example, the dial is fucked, the hands are raped (seconds hand is missing, along with the pinion), crystal is gone, shit's fucked. Just look at it. Hopefully I can somehow salvage parts from this hunk of shit to repair the other watch I actually want to put right. Hopefully I'm only going to need the stem, crown, and setting shit for the crown and none of these fucked sideways parts, but goddamn, it's fucking AWFUL inside.

>>17104446

>>17104621
I’m listening

>>17104625
TL;DR - Disassembled it all, cleaned some of it up, reassembled for now. If /wt/ cares, I'll post pics when I (eventually) get the other watch I want to fix. Pic related is what I'm waiting on, so hopefully it makes it here in one piece. Thank you for reading my rant/blog bros, had nowhere else to share this so figured I'd dump it here.

>>17104618
Not really, GS is schizo at best, never being able to tell what their actual point is, displaying extreme autism without any clear goal in mind.
Meanwhile a solar powered and radio-controlled Citizen goes for 500 bucks.
>muh zaratsu tism polishing on a dive dress watch in 43mm
GS should just anhero.

>>17104423
Nice. Someone should make a list of budged ACTUAL dress watches (i.e. <36mm and THIN) and include it in the OP

>>17104611
>one-and-done dream watch
>No lume
That was easy. I think they make one with lume though, in that I'd have no objections

do i ever need more than one watch

>>17104670
You more than likely don't even need a watch.

>>17104634
Thanks for posting anon, it's actually goos content instead of arguing about rolex

>>17104611
The white one is the only acceptable one. Other ones look odd, I like the case, but don't like the depth of the dial. Have you looked on Sakura lately? Prices have dropped

>>17104670
One to three is the top of most people's ideal for actually getting use out of all of them. One more formal, one more casual, one beater.

>>17104684
>but don't like the depth of the dial.
It's too deeply st for my taste as well. And the angled chapter ring makes it a bit too small.

>>17104486
It's on par of th price range in terms of specs. Also, in case you didn't know, you can get at least 20% off of that at almost any AD.

Posting

>>17104743
Well you got taste in cars at least. Jk actually I kinda like that watch.

>>17104743
This is dishonest engineering.

>>17104758
>This is dishonest engineering

>>17104758
wat

the screw head is to set alignment and allow handling with watchmakers tools during first install.

This is a threaded rod that mates to anchors on the back of the case, the hex head interlocks with the case so you can tighten the caseback without risk of causing visual damage to the front side of the fixture.

This is an evolution over the strategy used by our lord and saviour GG on the IWC Ingenieur.

>this is dishonest engineering.
no, just confusing engineering lol

>but why?
The whole point of this strategy is to avoid tapping a thread into the case itself, which would wear over time and after many services mean that the case itself would need to be replaced. With this approach, you simply replace this fixture. It's the same strategy as crown tubes for screw-down crowns, where the tube itself is replaceable so that when it eventually wears, you don't need a new case - just a new tube.

>>17103596
>that font for the dial numbers
I keep wondering how they managed to fuck up something so simple so badly

>>17104743
You fellows bitch about thynn watches not being in style, but the overseas hasn't appreciated and gone insane like the regular ro has.

>>17104639
Lmao they're like omega and rolex

>>17104800
The Overseas is very much a relic of the late 90s early 2000's giant watch craze. The original RO is a time-tested classic.

Watch, in 20 years, Overseas prices will skyrocket or something as the early 2000s are like the 80s are today.

>>17104670
Very least a sporty one and a dressier one. Maybe a beater.

>>17104639
>GS is schizo at best, never being able to tell what their actual point is, displaying extreme autism without any clear goal in mind
This combined with your pic of a fucking Glashütte just makes you seem like you have no taste or knowledge of watches.

>>17104756
Thanks. Here's another watch with the NSX and another car.

>>17104827
Still not impressed
overseas is almost cooler

>>17104577
Big pp in serious doubt

>>17104829
What about an Barichello II?

>>17104839
I'd rather the watch be blurry and the NSX be in focus rather than the other way around.

>>17104743
>>17104827
>>17104839
get these ugly watches and 911 out of the picture and post more pics of that NSX.

>>17104843
Just for you.

>>17104839
Stop posting the hideous APs and show us those cars

>>17104483
Nice, here’s mine

>>17104846
It's just an NSX though...

>>17104649
Check Seiko Dolce, 33,5mm, 5,3mm thin, HAQ with +/-10 seconds per year accuracy, and it costs around 300$.

>>17104702
*set

>>17104848
gracias, amigo.

>>17104865
>It's just an NSX though...
NSXs are competely underappreciated. Even today they can be had for relatively short money. Of course, 20 years ago you could get one for less than 20k US.

>>17104848
Mmmm that Diablo is nice.

>>17104880
They're selling for much higher these days around 60-70,000. I'm actually thinking of buying an NA1 NSX-R soon but will need to find space in the garage. I should have gotten it when it was still $150,000. The one I'm looking at is about $300,000. Such is the life. You snooze you lose I guess.

>>17104848
couldnt afford a Bugatti?

>>17104896
Why would you buy that POS bro?

>>17104897
cope

>>17104848
nice cars but how did the Honda get up there?? I don't see a ramp

>>17104901
Post ur Bugatti

>>17104913
Are you serious?

>>17104864
Very nice. I really like the blue one and am trying to convince my dad to get it so we can swap them now and again.

>>17104919
pls explain I am dumb

>>17104927
You see the platform it's sitting on? With those four posts at the corners? It goes up and down.

With the platform on the ground, drive the NSX onto it, then raise the platform up, and now you have space to store the Porsche underneath.

>>17104927
It's a lift. You put the car on the supports then you lift it up then put the second car below.

>>17104933
>>17104934
wtf really? totally looked like a rack to me with a fixed platform. Must be pretty strong to lift a whole car.

>>17104943
Never seen a car shop before anon?

>>17103426
Watch?

>>17104954
the car shops I frequent has lifts with two posts that jack up the chassis and not the tires

>>17104965
Yes, looks like one to me.

>>17104966
>>17104974
Hows life in boliva anon?

>>17104943
Yup! Goes up and down. Here's a shot with the lift system down so the NSX can be driven. It's a pain to organize to be honest.

>>17103426

>>17104974
>>17104975
Im just taking the piss anon, for storage you want to jack the car up on the wheels instead of the chasis so they are set up differently. It's pretty common to see them at codos in asian cities so they can put 2 cars in once space

My first watch bros, what do you think? Picked it up for 32 dolars, got a grey F-91W as well for workouts. Already excited to get other ones, i'm loving this one so far

>>17105027
Looks nice and simple.

>>17104582
Shit like this is why dont really care about watches that much anymore. Still look at /wt/ from time to time, but I really dont want to be associated by retards that buy shit like this marked up. It's a shitter movement that you can get in a $100 watch and people lose their shit. It was shit at $600 and its shit at $2000. Looks great, but are you actually going to get that thing serviced? No lmao. Best you're going to do is replace the movement and then all your precious decorations are gone. Lol. So fucking dumb

>>17105033
Yeah that was one of the reasons i loved the design, it was so cheap too and by a good brand

>>17104483
>>17104864
Have a good day smpbros

Stop buying Omegays you faggots. It's a terrible brand.

>>17105069

>>17105079

>>17105093
Thank you, friend, wear yours in health as well

>>17105174
Thank you, when it first arrived it looked a bit small but now i think that it fits well. It's a 37mm and my wrist is 17,5cm

>>17105178
Lol no way, one day i may, though

>>17105193
>It's a 37mm and my wrist is 17,5cm
That's perfect. Don't buy into the big watch trend. That 30 dollar casio is gonna look more elegant than most watches people wear these days

>>17105178
Can't get new material?

>>17105181
This is precisely why I demand my watches tell me the year

Sexy and boring at the same time

>>17105214
Weird, kinda cool but also disgusting

>>17105204
Watches that are perfectly sized to one's wrist often look too small when seen in the context of the whole fit/body. This is why I think wrist shots are misleading. When you see someone wearing a watch, you don't put your face up close to their wrist.

Is Citizen a good brand?

>>17105222
Yes

>>17105226

>>17105235

>>17105237
>42mm
lol

>>17105204
Damn you get it, i've always thought it looked unappealing as well. I've worn a 40mm and a 43mm and it looked way too big, even though these are common watch sizes. I'm thinking of keeping much future buys in the 36mm to 39mm range, maybe a 40mm depending on how it fits on my wrist, you never know

>>17105239

>>17105221
I swear I have never seen a watch on anyone and though that it was too small. If you watch old movies or footage you'll see men with various wrist sizes wearing watches in the 30-35 mm range, and they invariably look absolutely fine

>>17105244
It appears to be a nice watch at firat glance but the longer i look at it the more i see that the proportions are all wrong.

>>17104530
Please be trolling.

>>17105255
This one is almost perfect though. Cool bracelet as well.

>>17105262
I prefer the 37 and 38mm versions to that one which is 40 or 41

Thanks, how tight should it be on my wrist? If I throw slow jabs should the watch slide back and forward?

>>17105259
larger Datejust models weren't even made until 2008/9 if i remember correctly
36mm is fine and they're also inexpensive

I dont understand this guy. He keeps making video about the same handful of watches, especially squale, and almost never look at newer stuff.

It's all his own tastes and never venture out.

And then he post about toys.

>>17105241
cant afford a bigger wrist?

>>17105221
This but the opposite. Watch looks too small on wrist but looks fine in mirror

>>17105359
Your wrist will swell and shrink during different times of the day, you should be able to fit one finger between the bracelet and your wrist where the clasp is

W... why is there another watch thread up and a guy doing the autism about casios?
>>17101940

don't ask questions

>>17105388

Submariner no date is the god tier, patrician's choice, and anyone who deliberately passes on a date sub for a no date sub is hard confirmed for having excellent taste. There are some bad choices on this list though.

>Daytona not top tier (ruined by the wankers who own them but still top tier)
>Sky dweller not shit tier (wonky proportions, unintuitive design)

If you really want to take your game to the next level you would add air-king to the secretly god tier list. It triggers rolex fanboys because you don't have to slay a dragon or let the AD butt fuck your wife to get one and it's hideous, nonsensical dial design is a disgrace to the brand. Yet, this trainwreck of a watch is still executed to insane rolex standards in every way besides design and as a result it has a strange allure due to it's general retardedness. Take the oddball air-king pill, ascend to the next level.
