Everything else is wrong.

Rolex used to make some cool ads

Any recommendations for timekeeping related curiosities or collectables.

I picked up a few mechanical stopwatches this week. I was think about buying vintage chronograph movement just for my own curiosity.

You can't live with all that hate in you guys. It's not healthy.
Friendly advice : loose weight, save some money and buy yourself a 36mm Rolex. Life will taste sweeter, I promise.

Here's a pic of me at a trail 10k I ran last weekend.

They will laugh at your face and tell you to fuck off.
If you don't buy it, 10 other people after you will happily pay the full price.

>>17109526
You never did prove it was genuine though. We just have to all take it on faith?

OP, you understand you set the tone, right ?
that means you have to bring the elements of quality and worth to the thread that you want to see; thereby encouraging others to do the same

>>17109592
gray market, my man.

>>17109592
Because of the high demand and the ongoing shortage the Rolexes you see in display cases at ADs are strictly for display purposes. To buy one, you tell the AD that you would like to purchase one.
Let them know which model and color combinations you'd like and they will call you when one comes in.

For a high-production model like a Datejust, the wait time should only be a few weeks. Three months at most. If you want a popular, low-production model like a GMT-Master II or a Daytona, the wait can stretch out to years.

>>17109592
i bought a fake rolex from a guy on a blanket in manhattan in 1992 for $20 and i still wear it today and get compliments on it

Unless you're extremely specific about an uncommon size and dial color combination, it should be between 2 and 12 weeks.

Why did they make it so perfect, bros?

>>17109622
interesting choice, i'm guessing you wanted something presentable if talking with clients, but not something you'd worried about getting busted

the leather strap might get a bit warm in summer heat though

>>17109663
i've seen you post this before

it really is rather special, eh ?
i'd be constantly playing with the bezel, and seeing what that blue looked like in different lights

>>17109668
Beautiful dial, great size, great quality, obviously. I just wish there was a JLC AD near me.

>>17109663
Too big.

>>17109672
>Too big.
41mm diameter
11mm thick
47mm lug-to-lug

Except for being thinner, that's the size of the Rolex Submariner. A watch that's universally agreed-upon to be too big for a slender woman or a small child.

>>17109672
Watches with internally rotating bezels always look bigger than they actually are.

>>17109637
>>went to several ADs in small cities

i'm thinking you travel around for work, were those cities in the US -- and did you have a prior relationship with any of the AD's ?

>>17109663
I’m not a massive fan of the plain Jane Polaris but do really like the Memovox and new perpetual. I like them a lot more than the normal Seamaster/Submariner.

>>17109681
Obviously promo shots can be misleading and it’s hard to tell without handling in person but I much prefer this to the RO and Overseas. Looks stunning on a bracelet.

>>17109664
Aye that's pretty much it. Bracelet will go back on when the heatwave arrives

>>17109646
OP is pretty easy, I think you should be fine with taking out the AD to dinner 2-3 times and buying him a nice bottle of wine

>>17109681
I like the complicated ones too, but the regular old no-date version has that same sort of essential sports-watch thing that the Rolex Explorer has.

>>17109686
A tropical strap can bridge the gap of looking presentable while staying cool. They’re lifesavers for me during Texas summers.

>>17109683
>I much prefer this to the RO and Overseas.
JLC's come a long way to get back to their clean, understated design language after the shocking early 2000s and 2010s.

>>17109686
>Bracelet will go back on when the heatwave arrives

i'm in Belfast and been waiting for the Spanish weather to reach us, but i'm not sure it's gonna stretch that far this year

>>17109696
I'm a massive JLC fanboy and I find these really bizarre dark age watches perversely desirable. They're the complete opposite of what JLC made historically and what they're making now which has some sort of weird appeal for the true JLC autist.

>>17109701
I mean what the fuck is this LMAO

Is picrel effay?

>>17109701
It's like they decided they'd mastered movements and decided to try to master case technology.

The Compressor keys are actually a very good system. Zero risk of accidentally tearing a gasket or cross-threading a crown.

>>17109714
other than bring texture to the dial, does the matte black waffle do much for 'lightplay' ?

>>17109724

>>17109716
For some reason i find the VC's color of gold much nicer than any othet brand out there.

>>17109712

>>17109727
>let's take a promo pic of the watch when the date's changing!

>>17109727
I think it's borderline. Personally I find the star motif on the front and back more than a little gaudy. It's a solid watch technically speaking and probably worth the money if you like the design.

>>17109537
Vostok is based. One of my top three favorite watches is my Vostok 710 case with a tank Komanndieskie dial.

>i'm thinking you travel around for work, were those cities in the US -- and did you have a prior relationship with any of the AD's ?
I live in France. I don't travel a lot but there is one AD in my city, another one 50km away, and two in my parent's city. Never bought anything from any of them.
I just went there with my Omega and a nice shirt, had a nice talk with the people there and that was it.
Honestly it's not that hard to get a 36mm Rolex. You just have to be patient and have a genuine interest in watches.

These watches won't age well. They're soulless.

I know that /wt/ posters are totally retarded, but can you at least pretend to know what you're talking about? That RO you just called soulless is probably the most impressive watch they've released in the last 3 decades outside of grande complications.

Yeah, they are, after a month they just stop working, costumer service said to give them good shake and it worked. Also +20sec a day and mineral crystal.

What is so special about that besides a unique case shape? Orient makes a bunch of open heart watches too.

Bros I had a dream that I went into a jewelers and ended up buying an F-91w, only for some reason the MSRP was $250 and it was discounted to $50. They justified it because it was 'an annual calender which is a very challenging complication.'

>>17109897
Brand name. That's literally it. That's literally the only reason he bought it. If the name on the dial was anything else, no one would give it a second glance.

>>17109891
Oh no. Word of advice: do not ever criticise that guy's watches. Yes, he claims to only buy what he likes and doesn't care about other people's opinions but, paradoxically, he gets extremely grumpy if someone doesn't like his watches.

>>17109870

Oh, really? Dude, I often get a laugh from reading the opinions dumped in here. As I said before, the attitude is why I love this hellhole.

>>17109897
First, I love the design, including the oval shaped case, pictures often don't give it justice. Second, the finishing is excellent. Third, it has an "industrial" look I hardly ever seen in any other watches.

>>17109923

Unless you have a box full of hands and dials painted with tritium, you won't get any noticeable results with a normal,ñ counter.

>>17110171
oh well, probably not worth thinking about it more then. I like the watch, it's worth a small chance of getting cancer

>>17110167
while i may have misjudged your intent, if you're familiar with 'broken window theory' you'll agree that my point still stands

>>17109731
Based af

>>17110181
Tritium's midlife means that the chance of getting cancer from the watch is lower than that of having a couple of x-rays. Just don't lick the hands/dial or place them inside your body and you'll be ok.

>mfw, in the time of their production, workers (often female) were never informed about the risk of tritium and they used to lick the brushes before applying the paint to obtain a better finishing. Lots of undocumented cases of mouth, tongue and blood cancers were contracted this way.

>>17110125
Thanks, my m8.

>>17110160
There are websites that do radiometer rentals
Really the only risk is opening the watch and accidentally inhaling bits of crumbled lume.

>>17110202
That was radium not tritium but close enough. Also the radium is still radioactive it's the other ingredients in the luminous paint that have been exhausted by the reaction which is why it doesn't glow anymore

>>17110202
what does the spicy rock taste like...

>>17110204

How about promethium 147? Afaik Seiko used it well into thd 90s.

>>17110288
They are asymmetric weights, by turning them a watchmaker can regulate the watch as the balance is (i'm guessing) free sprung.

So, basically, if I want to get a skeletonized watch that looks nice and commands respect, I need to go full Holy Trinity of watches.
>Fuck

>>17110333
idk about that, i know Christian wore some of the watches he was selling.

>>17110344
Was he selling them as new, never worn?
Also, post source

>>17110091
cant afford a Patek?

>>17110349
Nah, other people gave him watches to sell and he wore one of them in one of the episodes.

>>17110352
Can't afford a Chesterton?

>>17110353
I see. That's not that bad, but still should have come clean since the moment he received the watch.

>>17110333
She probably just refused to blow Christian.

>>17110341
If you want to get any watch that commands respect you need to go Trinity. And even then, if you get junk like this >>17109888 don't expect any respect. You need money AND taste. Having one is common, having both is extremely rare.

Got one of these ordered. I've been looking for a nice piece in the ~1k range for a while and this one really popped for me.
https://www.hamiltonwatch.com/en-gb/h76645540-khaki-aviation-converter-auto.html
Anyone else got experience with these models, or others in the khaki aviation line? My only concern is it's maybe on the larger size at 42mm case width. It's why I opted for this one rather than the GMT or chrono variations which are even bigger.

>>17110363
He might be rich but he doesn't have taste.
Literal cope

>>17110373
He's actually in an awkward spot. He's rich enough to be able to afford nice watches, but he knows he doesn't want to buy the same Day-Date/Daytona everyone else has, so he buys whatever...BUT he's also fat, which means he's not stylish enough to be able to pull off such bold choices, making him the 40-year old version of the kid who wore a silk vest in high school.

>>17110341
Basically yeah. Oris did a decent one and the Hamilton Jazzmaster is a cool quirky one.

I'm comin for your big boy watches, /wt/

>>17110365
I like that they went for a combination of blue and strong red, much better than meh orange that most brands use for some reason.

>>17110391
That's the thing with skeleton watches. It's not the "I can see the movement!" that makes skeletonization interesting, but the finishing. When you look at a well skeletonized watch by a top level house, you can see the artistry they put into the finishing. Not just drilling holes, but making the shapes flow with other shapes.

FWIW, the watch in >>17109888 is not a skeletonized watch, it's just an open heart watch. (you'd think he'd know that, but money can't buy brains, I guess.)

>>17110363
this is pretty black pill but its true. Also bonus points for signed dials or exclusive releases. Hand made in house watches (ie; George Daniels and Roger Smith) if you truly want to be at the very highest end.

>>17110409
just noticed this was specifically about skele dials. my comment kind of still applies but is more oriented towards conventional dials. Skeleton dial comes off as normie to me im not sure why.

>>17110391
This is embarrassing, desu.
>mfw I now need 30k to buy a decent skeleton watch

>>17110415
ORIS I.....

>>17110405
>you'd think he'd know that, but money can't buy brains, I guess.
You write that like you wouldn't know he did it for trolling purposes. Just look how many (you) he got. Just to ignore him.
>God, I hate richfags here

I have the coolest watch in this general

>>17110433
>Misspelled Rolex
LOL, no

>>17110431
I assure you he's not trolling. He was hoping that one or more of his white knights would show up and give his ego a quick "Great watch, lawyersama!" handjob.
This didn't happen, so he resorted to accusing everyone of seething and then disappearing altogether once the thread reminded him that being fat cannot be undone with an expensive watch collection.

>>17110433
Rule of Seiko Divers. Buy 5 and pick the 1 that has both an aligned bezel and runs within +/- 10 sec/day, then return the remaining 4.

Looking at your bezel, it seems you failed to follow the rule.
Also, that date aperture is pretty embarassing.

>>17110452
I can easily turn the bezel to line it up, that aside it's perfect

>>17110433
Oh, cool! A white gold Rolex Subma--...oh.

Just chill and enjoy your sunday, why are you so obsessed with my weight?

Isn’t he a full blown gay homo fag?

>>17110516
He's from New York. Aren't they all gender-fluid-positive or some shit like that?

>>17110516
no, he only likes men who wear makeup ie. trannies
he's a chaser which is a subset of fag who only likes female penis

>>17110515
Guaranteed he's right now trying to figure out how to edit the pictures of his watches where his wrist doesn't look fat. Can't take new pictures because he's gained weight since he took the original picture.

>>17110365
gorgeous piece

>>17110509
>why are you so obsessed with my weight?
Thank you for confirming for us all that it's a sore spot with you lmfao

Is a plain t shirt and jeans too sloppy to wear a nice diver watch?

>>17110544
no. diver watches are sloppy, no matter how nice they are. You can't possibly be overdressed for a dive watch.

>>17110521
Are you mad? It took me like 6 months going back and forth from the bank's vault to gather almost 50 wristshot and I'm still +30 watches short of the entire collection, not even counting clocks. No chance I'm going to edit or retake any pictures.

>>17110539
>Oh, so soooooooooooooooooore
LOL, no.

I'm here because I like a forum about watches. Although it almost seems like you don't care about watches at all, only troll.
>Mmmm...

>>17110544
No, a dive watch would look dope with that. Just get decent shoewear, no Jordan or something like that.

>>17110556
>>17110544
Btw, which diver watch?
>Pics

>>17110555
If I remember correctly this one is your latest.

Are you giving Federico a run for his money?

>>17110555
>Nnnooo! Stop bullying me about my weight. Just praise me for my tasteless watch collection!
Awfully thin skinned for someone with so much subcutaneous fat.

>>17110559
I don't see the problem here.

>>17110559
>Are you giving Federico a run for his money?
Kek. That particular watch is one of less than 5 (believed to exist), second gen Jeffersonia dial in the world, just before they stopped producing it. It comes totally original, including bracelet and in very good condition, BUT it is indeed slightly shorter that what I wished. Still, I'm not about to add links from another watch and create a franken.
It'll probably become my rarest watch for a very long time.

>>17110567
I keep thinking this is a ham of some sort, not an arm. Kek

>>17110563
>Awfully thin skinned for someone with so much subcutaneous fat.
Ah, the seethe never ends.

>>17110571
>Still, I'm not about to add links from another watch and create a franken.
and losing weight to make it fit clearly ain't happening.

>>17110576
Dude, do you know how hard it is to lose weight once you turn 40? When I was 20, I could drop 10 pounds in a week. Now, dropping 10 pounds is a project that takes an entire year, and if you slip up and go to a barbecue or something, you're back at square one.
And I'm not even that fat. Lawyersama needs to drop at least 50 pounds. You don't think his doctor tells him like every single time he visits? His dentist probably tells him to lose weight. That doesn't happen in a year. That's a complete lifestyle change, and for what? Being skinny in a country where literally everyone around you is also fat? Wearing fashionable clothes?

For plus-sized guys, we wear luxury watches to show that we could also wear fashionable clothes if they made them in our size.

>>17110584
You are doing it wrong then.

>>17110584
>For plus-sized guys, we wear luxury watches to show that we could also wear fashionable clothes if they made them in our size.
I wasn't expecting that last paragraph. Fucking lol

Also
>50 pounds
Up yours, ngl kek

>>17110567
>I don't see the problem here.
Burger here. I don't know where lawyer anon lives, but in my part of the US (the Deep South) being thin is generally seen as a sign of wealth, since blacks and poor white trash don't have access to good nutrition and just live on McDonald's and Coke so they get fat.

So seeing an AP on a fat wrist is weird and I wonder if he's not actually like from the UAE or something, where the richest are the fattest.

>>17110589
>>50 pounds
AT LEAST

The skinny motherfucker in >>17109529 is what a normal human is supposed to look like.

>>17110584
>putting two potatoes on your plate instead of three
>complete lifestyle change

>>17109489

90's 146 (B) and the 149 (M) is brand new. I was going to get a W.Germany 149 in (B) which I regret. The newer pens are just not as well made. I will most like buy a vintage 149 just to see but at the time I was thinking I'll been using this pen the rest of my life so I wanted a new nib.

>>17110597
The explosion in watch diameters coincides directly with America's (and Europe's) obesity crisis.

For a half-century, watches stayed steady at around 35mm give or take a mm or two, not counting watches like dive watches which needed to be large so people could read them underwater.

But then in the 70s, Americans started getting fatter and fatter and their watches got bigger and bigger.
A 35mm watch on a normal wrist like the runner guy would look proportional. On a fat fuck, it looks like, well, >>17110559

If that watch were redesigned today, it would be at least 40mm in order to look like it's in proportion with that pig's trotter.

>>17109489
See >>17110607

Too big for my wrist? 7inch wrist, 38.5mm watch

>>17110607
>The newer pens are just not as well made.
New Montblancs fucking suck. Way too smooth and they all come with a bad case of baby's butt out the box. Pelikan isn't as bad, but they're all too wet.

I switched over to Italian pens, particularly Aurora, a long time ago, since they still have the balls to tune a little toothiness into a nib.

>>17110610
Borderline too large, but fine with jeans and a t-shirt.

>>17110611
>Way too smooth and they all come with a bad case of baby's butt out the box
You know why that is? For in-store demos. It's like how TVs are set to that extreme level of sharpness that looks great in store but looks like shit when you're trying to watch a movie.

>oh, it's so smooth! yeah, this is the best pen I've ever written with. I'll take it!
>Hmm...this pen is skipping all over the place...must be bad paper or shitty ink.

Nice pens and collection, friend. Like someone else already suggested, you might enjoy collecting loupes as well. Also, what brand of inks do you use, I mostly prefer Caran d'Ache, but I found it too thin for some quills and end up having tiny splotches.

Thanks friend. Maybe someday you'll recognize me IRL by one of my watches and you can give me a blowjob for real.

bros... my boss told me to stop wearing cheap watches...

>>17110630
I tend to keep my inks very simple, Montblanc Back, Midnight blue and Diamine Oxford Blood which is my personal favourite for years.

>>17110683
Did you tell him to stop paying you a shit salary?

>>17110697
Yeah, he laughed and asked me why I couldn't afford a Rolex.

Protip: It doesn't matter what size your watch is, it matters what size your balls are.
Wear what you want and stop caring about the approval of internet autismos and you'll be a lot happier.

Sorry to hear about your dad, anon.
Best advice I can give you: you'll never be happy doing things someone else's way. It's your life, if that watch gives you enjoyment then fuck anyone who says it's too big for you. They aren't your friends and they don't have your best interests at heart.

I can't start down the Ink rabbit hole, I know what I'm like, id have 40 bottles in a few months. I have other pens (lamys and such) but the 146, 149 and eco are my daily pens i keep inked, I just want piston pens from now on, stops me buying to many pens. I said to myself 1 bottle for ever inked pen. I might pick up a diamond 580 to replace the eco.

Saying that their magnetic blue is very nice! What pens do you use?
