JLC has a tradition of making reliable movements (muh watchmakers of watchmakers) but they never have been good at making nice designs or simply being a desirable brand.
They fell for literally every memes of watchmaking :
>large diameters
>useless complications
>grandes complications
>high jewelry watches
They're trying so hard to be the ultimate watch brand it's embarrassing. Their price point goes from 6k to 2.5M, it's ridiculous. They also lack consistency in their designs. The Reverso, the Polaris, the Master Control all look like they come from different brands.
What's worse, for every watch they make there's always a better (and often cheaper) alternative. Why would anyone spend 80k on a JLC when they can get an ALS, a PP, a FP Journe or a Laurent Ferrier for that price?

>>17116413
>Laurent Ferrier
Look at that. Goddamn it's beautiful. I usually don't care for dress watches but these are stunning.

>>17116326
are you a girl?

One of my favorite thing to do is to check out the comments on the Rolex instagram page.
It's full of assblasted faggots seething about the impossibility to get a Rolex from an AD.
I browse these comments with a Rolex on my wrist. Amazing feeling.

>>17116413

>never have been good at making nice designs
>not desirable

The reverso and polaris/memovox are iconic designs and they have a smaller market share than the big boys but there's a reason they're still around.

They fell for the giant watch meme but so did basically everyone else and no one can compete with Rolex in the dual purpose dress/tool watch department which is what everyone wants. So, like all the other brands basically, they're doing their best to carve out a niche in the market. Besides their high watchmaking pieces, everything else they make is priced very competitively and they generally focus more on value and reliability than their competitors which makes them more desirable to certain kinds of buyers.

Laurent Ferrier makes gorgeous watches but case in point, I have heard lots of reports of QC and reliability issues with them. Buying an equally expensive JLC would be much less risky if only because there are JLC ADs and service centers more readily available.

>>17116440
I post a replica on Insta and claim it's real sometimes to cause some seethe. You can find some really good fakes for $300 online.

>>17116440
It's even more hilarious on Linkedin because people write these long posts about how Rolex is doing everything wrong and they'll go bankrupt very soon.
Look at them. They've saved for months for a Rolex but can't get one. So they want one even more. And when they'll eventually get one (on the grey or from an AD) they'll cherish it like their own child.
Name a single brand on earth that has this effect on people. There's none. Rolex is the ultimate luxury brand. Nothing can compete.

>>17116451
The same thing happens in various markets dude. It even happened with Tesla when there were shortages on the Model 3, people were going ape shit about not having theirs yet and screaming at Elon on Twitter.

>>17116451
>Rolex is the ultimate luxury brand. Nothing can compete.
You say that because it's the only affordable luxury brand you know. You should google around, see what brands come up once you go beyond afordable luxury like Gucci.

is montblanc shit

thinking about my first "luxury" watch - might dip my toe in and get an orient star with saphire glass.
any advice?

>>17116346
Congrats? man that is a disgusting amount of money to spend on a watch.

>>17116497
Cool if he can afford to but cringe if he can just barely afford it (and I'm guessing it's the latter since we're on 4chan).

>>17116499
if it makes em happy it's good I guess, some people don't get satisfaction from anything.

>>17116403
yeah, only VC doesn't look like complete shit

I wear a casio with a steel bracelet daily. Sometimes I wear a 90s Bulova Marine Star chronograph and it's nice, but is there something with a bit of the 80s flair of the casio while still not being a cheap digital watch? Something I can still wear as a bit of a beater? Some of the Orient watches looked super cool but I think they're probably too big for my wrist, I think 38mm is the size for me.

>>17116511
>I don't want a cheap digital
>I want a beater
are you retarded? If you aren't just buy a Timex weekender or something

>>17116516
couldn't you understand that I want something that is reminiscent of the Casio in design, but not digital? A timex weekender does not fit the criteria at all. You don't need to reply if you didn't read the post.

I think I'd be fine paying up to about $300. I do really like the look of the Orient SK diver but it's almost 42mm. I wish I knew where I could try one on in person.

>>17116520
a beater to me is not something I would spend more than 20-40 bucks on, we just have different use-cases and definitions. It sounds like you already kinda know what you want, and it's nothing I would even remotely consider a beater.

>>17116520

Looking forward to seeing how the fuck this up tomorrow

>>17116534
I've thought about it, I think it's going to be another sports shitter. They already have the 1926, which is basically a modern prince thing.

>>17116540
It'll most likely be an updated Ranger, since that was discontinued and the Tudor Prince that was taken on the North Greenland Expedition was basically an early Ranger. But obviously daddy Rolex won't let them create an affordable Explorer that looks good.

>>17116608
You are looking at the gen-2 case of the Lineage line. The first gen cases are about the same width but the lug-to-lug is about 3mm shorter so it's more wearable. I doubt that you can get a better fit from something else. The lineage line is a great price point for something that can have titanium cases and sapphire.
The LCW-M100tse is just that: titanium case and sapphire glass.

Please stop posting, it’s embarrassing.

>>17116676
Both of you are wankers trying way too hard to prove something

>>17116647
wrong watch for that meme

JLC and GS are two sides of the same coin. You buy a JLC because you want a well made relatively affordable complication like a moon phase or a perpetual calendar for under $20k. You buy a GS because you want a hand-finished dial and case without paying holy trinity prices or because you want a spring drive. This is also why both of these brands will always be pretty niche, because the general public doesn’t care about complications or case finishing. There will always be significant trade offs when you’re looking at watches in the ~$10,000 range or under.

Considering a rolex day date cope by buying a Tudor prince, quite like pic related but ideally want date & day

New watch, what do you think?

how come it's got the nick 'OP' ?

>>17116695
>>complications are…le bad!
Seems like you don't even know what "complications" means. A date window is a complication.
I'm talking about JLC's typical autism like that stupid jumping date hand on the Master Control Calendar to make sure the moon phase isn't obscured by a one tenth of a millimeter thick hand. That would ruin the readability, right?
Or this godawful idea of shoe-horning a perpetual calendar into a diving watch. Makes no sense.
They even put a chronograph into a Reverso (some retard on this board has one, maybe that's you).

>>17116751
I just noticed that
>QUANTIEME à DATE SAUTANTE
Couldn't they write this correctly?
>QUANTIÈME À DATE SAUTANTE
>Quantième à date sautante
Fucking hell this brand is retarded.

Kikou Ibe

>>17116751
A jumping date hand is based. A perpetual calendar is based. Chronographs are based. Deadbeat seconds are based.

>A perpetual calendar is based. Chronographs are based.
On the right kind of watch, yes. A perpetual calendar on a diver is beyond retarded. Who needs to know the months and year while taking pictures of fish?
>A jumping date hand is based. Deadbeat seconds are based.
You're paying extra money for complications that have no purpose. Only a retard would accept that.

>>17116751
You're complaining that maybe the best complication makers in the world are making complications? You might as well complain about Rolex making sportswatches.

>>17116751
At least they figured out how to run twin barrels in parallel

What's that Korean watch brand that has only 1 website and tree worldwide shipping?

>>17116773
I think it's cool af. You shouldn't have to wear a formal watch to get high complication functions

>>17116773
Should've picked an uglier example because that watch looks stunning.

>>17116771
You don't get it.
"Quantième" has a grave accent but they decided to ignore it by writing it QUANTIEME.
"à" also has a grave accent but they didn't ignore it for some arbitrary reasons.

They're changing the rules they have established 3 letters earlier. Another proof JLC is run by literal downies.

>>17116779
Also
They make supposedly high quality stuff for cheap. 200dollar ish. Rolex look a likes.

>>17116774
>best complication makers
They're not. Very far from it.
All of their complicated watches are +42mm large and +13mm thick.
Again, JLC is trying to be haute horlogerie but don't have the ressources for it.
>>17116783
>You shouldn't have to wear a formal watch to get high complication functions
Watches have purpose. Going against this always ends up in deformed monstrosities.

>>17116617
I unironically think you need an 8 in wrist to pull off a 41mm. No amount of working out is gonna turn my 6.5 into an 8. Only getting seriously obese would do the trick

>>17116806

thank you for proving my point

>>17116804

yup, smells like larp

>>17116754
>>17116771
>>17116809
Ignorant peasants, >>17116803 is right, those letters are "capital", not "uppercase". Learn the difference: https://www.axl.cefan.ulaval.ca/monde/regles-1MAJ-MIN.htm

Also, "à" is a preposition so it's never capitalized, it's joining 2 nouns.
https://bescherelle.ca/preposition-a/

>>17116804

>>17116813
The lug to lug is a lot more important than case diameter which is often extremely misleading. You could easily wear a 41mm as long as the lugs are compact.

>>17116800
>Tell me what shoe I should get for this type of attire?

>>17116880

Which one should I buy? I know they're both shitters.

I've made a new watch buying guide
What do you guys think?

>>17117075
Oris is pretty cool to look at

>>17117078
Yeah it definitely has a more interesting dial, but the size and lug to lug is bothering me.

>>17117075
I (unfortunately) have the Baroncelli
Tldr: buy the Oris
Also: is anybody interested in a Mido Baroncelli III?

>>17116522
I guess beater isn't the exact right word but I'm making more money now and I wouldn't mind wearing a $200 watch daily, although I likely wouldn't be too hard on it. If I decided to go camping, or hiking, or to the beach, then I might wear a digital again. So that was my mistake really. I don't know what the word would be.

>>17116559
Which models? If money were absolutely no object I'd love to wear one of the ripley watches but those are definitely out of my price range.

>>17116903
you rotated it because you're a brainlet itoddler and a wristlet to boot. and go outside and get some sunlight ffs

also it honestly isn't actually too big for your wrists, I think it looks OK

why cant the rich just stick to patek and ap and stuff so I can buy a Lolex

>>17116882
It loses a minute or two a day. Pretty par for the course for a watch of this vintage. I could buy a fully serviced movement that would be more accurate but I don't really give a shit

>>17117084
Tell me more, lol

Is there such a thing as a nice angled watch for poorfags? Pic related, it's the closest thing I found.

>>17116907
Unironically the best Rolex, though I prefer the old timey Mickey.

>>17117075
the Oris is gorgeous, have you tried it on wrist ?

>>17117075
If you are looking for a 1k soulless generic swiss dress watch, at least get a longines. They have some kind of brand recognition and wont plummet in value when you sell it later

>>17117117
No, unfortunately not. I do however have watches with longer lug to lug and larger diameter and they are on the brink of being too big. So I don't think it's going to look bad, proportion wise. I can't help but keep coming back to the Oris due to its dial, having the watches side by side like this really shows how boring the MIDO is

>>17117131
Are you meaning to say that they both are soulless? I think the Oris one has at least a bit of character.

>>17116895
When is the last time you used the ring on that dive watch? Be honest here.
IMO its a non-dive watch rolex, at least something I could dream to afford.

>>17117144
The brands are what I meant are soulless, the oris looks kinda nice, i admit it. Id just pick a longines before that, because its the most recognizable brand on its price range and will have better resale

>>17117144
I prefer the oris ones with the grooves/pattern on the bezel

>>17117026
I think that and breitling are the only watches at the AD I go to. They are literally building a tag shop next door, because its the only watch shop worth visiting in the city.

>>17117146
These aren't dive watches, they are GMT. The rotating bezel is for the 24h hand (the one with the arrow).

>>17117149
I don't really care about brand, and I'll probably never resell a watch. I'm looking at having a handful of <1k dollar shitters which covers all areas (Dress, diver, daily, etc.) That being said, if you could suggest a Longines with similar style and price, I'd appreciate it.

What watch do I have to wear to have a girl like this?

>>17117093
Mate I'm on LineageOS... Never had this happen to me. Thanks for the feedback tho

I was just messing with you. That's pretty cool though, how do you like it?

How come you or rappers never shill Breguet (Swatch group)? For me, it's Breguet

>>17117203
Because it's Swatch Group

>>17117203
Most of what Breguet makes are classically styled dress watches. That's not very popular with fried chicken connoisseurs.

>For me, it's Breguet
It's still Swatch Group owned, you know.

>>17117114
No idea, but this looks pretty good. The case itself looks a bit sloppy but the dial is nice.

>>17116226

Based GORswipe gracing our peasant thread with their presence.

>>17117203
Which model do you like? Their traditional is pretty cool, but I don't really like anything else they make. Type 20s are cool, but too huge. Formal watches are goofy, wired numerals and silly hands. I'm not even sure they have anything with breguet numerals. Their sonnerie might be ok.

It is what it is, a fun collectable thingy.
Not my favorite from MJW, but still.

>>17117381
Both are, my friend.

>>17117428
Remember it is the gesture that counts, enjoy it.

>>17117461
lol

>>17117428
i rate it quirky r*dditor out of 10

>>17117428
i prefer this one

>>17116332
That thing is really fucking nice. Does it reverse like a JLC?

>>17116511
There. Aproximately the same form factor as a Casio digital, plus it's fun to beat the copy of an overpriced watch.

>>17117452
Nope. Well i use photoshop at my job, does that count?

>>17117461
Once you get used to it, its not that hard to guess the time within a 5-10 minute margin of error.

>>17117482
qrd?

>>17117476
Yes. It's a funny story. It's called a Hamilton Otis. They only made it for about 3 years or so from around 1937 to 1940. They licensed the case from Alfred Chauvot, who designed it. The problem was that JLC had already licensed it and sued Hamilton.
When the lawsuit was settled, Hamilton was allowed to continue to produce the Otis but only if they contained a JLC movement but they discontinued it anyway.

Are there any watches whose design has been inspired by Streamliners other than Moser's?
>post them

>>17116722
Said it before, but ok. Don't buy two tone tudor princes, the bracelet is plated/rolled gold and will wear off.

>>17117163
A Braille watch

>>17117163
A fentanyl watch

>>17117498

>>17117486
What

>>17117491
Maybe not inspo'd but I've seen some that have that look

>>17116722
But this is Datejust cope and a two tone Datejust shouldn't be that much more expensive than this Tudor? Not super up to date on the prices for them but why not get the real thing?
If you really want it, get it. It's a nice looking watch.

>>17117075
A Longines Conquest Heritage.

>>17117504
Please, post them. I'm in the hunt for a new watch.

>>17117075
>>17117509
Seconding Longines. Superior build, movement, heritage, and pretty much everything else. One of the most underrated old Swiss brands.

>>17117503
You any good at photoshop?

>>17117484
Wait, how can the black circle rotate? I thought it was fixes and the colours rotated

>>17117506
daydate cope, cant afford a full precious metal watch
>>17116722

>>17117516
It's fixed in the middle like a regular hand

>>17117489
Cool story bro. But really, says something about what Hamilton used to be like. Giving JLC the finger twice like that.

>Hamilton

>>17117511
cant thank of any off top but they are posted in these threads sometimes

>>17117106
Got it after liking it in video. The fake douphine hand sounds neat but looks terrible in person. This specific textured dial lost its appeal a few days in & while I knew that I was buying something very DW-esque, I straight up hated how it looked once I put it on. It lacks refinement proportion, it’s only redeeming features are the okayish movement finishing & thinness.
Thanks for reading my blog about my traumatising buy of a Mido Baroncelli which sits as a constant reminder of my many terrible life decisions in the dark corner of my watchbox.

>>17117513
All i really do is cut shit out and put it on a white background. Get rid of shadows, make it look better. Nothing that requires more than 5% of artistic talent.

>>17117516
>>17117528
I assume its attached to the spindle at the center by some really thin wire, or magnets maybe.

Getting first watch under 100€.
I like this one, any reason not to buy it?

>>17117598
The brand, get a tissot seastar or a longines hydroconquest

>>17117598
Without looking at the link, get a Casio, Timex, Orient, or Seiko. Thank me later.

>>17117601
What's wrong with Certina? It seems much better quality than Tissot

Could find Titanium Citizen for that price though

>>17117598
>100€
Just buy a vintage Seiko.

>>17117610
Swatch groups is like vw group, but with a lot of fillers brands. Tissot, longines and omega are the only ones w/ some kind of brand recognition and big market share.

I just liked the band. The Timex is whatever. Might change it out one day to something with an off white or black face.

>>17117583
Probably it’s a big clear piece of plastic that takes up the whole dial that rotates around. I think that’s how those Zodiav ones work

>>17117625
nice watch, nice loafers

>>17117633
Thanks dude

>>17117628
Oh yeah that would make sense.

>>17117625

>>17117248
awesome

>>17117615
A few threads ago anon wrote that Certina chronos are much better than Tissot

>>17117625
That band rocks, don't change it. Where could I get one?

>>17117663
Thanks! I just got them on Ebay. Just search something like “vintage turquoise sterling silver watch band”. Should be a decent amount to choose from.

>>17117658

Compelling stuff.

>>17116474
dont those retards do pens? wtf

>>17116474
>is montblanc shit
Sort of but it's complicated. Look up Minerva

my apple watch is nice, has fitness stuff, heart health stuff, fall detection if I crash out on the motorcycle. hard all sorts of little things I dont use often but every once in a while are really useful.

Anybody got their birth year watch?

>>17117253
Me too, man. I'd love a marlin but the movement is absolute shit even by seagull standards.

>>17117428
Think of that anon who got gifted a monstrous 50mm black pvd smartwatch... You have it much better, it's a fun piece and good size

>>17117657
nice timex marlin homage

>>17116232
One day, some how, some way, I WILL own an FP Journe. I'm not sure how, but I will make it happen.

>>17117727
I really like them too. It's unfortunate that their prices have skyrocketed and they have all become so difficult to get even from a boutique. I think the problem will only get worse

>>17116440
>Imagine being this poster and playing defense for blatant anti-consumer practices and an atmosphere where ADs feel no guilt or shame about demanding you buy shit just to get on some cucked wait list.
BUY OMEGA. FUCK ROLEX.

>>17117729
Most watches you literally have to be apply for. Like a job. This shit has gotten out of hand.

>>17117724
lmfao

>>17117730
that thing is fuckhuge on him

this has garnered my attention

>>17117742
heres a better pic?

>>17117742
Hard to beat for the money.

>>17117742
as it should

>>17117750
its just a nice, basic watch. Simple, no date, hand wound, 37mm, 11.6 thicc - not great, not horrible, but youre going to have to pay $$ to get something really thin. Its about as traditional as GS is going to make.

Thoughts on Ball? I like everything about them except that they say BALL on them

>Spring Drive

>>17117757
Wow this is hideous. Reminds me of when you're a kid and they have you write your name with toothpicks

>>17117757
The name and the ridiculous "official standard" makes all their watches an instant no-go for me.

What do you guys do for a living?

>>17117785
I assemble electrical grid equipment. Pays ok, kinda boring. Can't wear a watch working

>>17117785
ASM at a luxury label in a mall where there's multiple ADs (Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Tag) and there's at least one or two at every AD that offered me their discount or skip lines as long as I give them my employee discount.
Except for Tag but that's because I haven't bothered to step inside.

Engineer. 120k. Still debating whether to get a BB58 or Speedmaster Hesalite 3861

>>17117836
Get the Speedmaster Hesalite 3861

Would the Steinhart Hulk be too flashy? Or should I get the Starbucks

>>17117836
The Speedmaster is the much better watch

>>17117785
>>17117836
I'm an engineer as well, making 400k. I only buy reps since everyone knows I have money anyway, buying gen watches seems extremely dumb from a logical standpoint.

I've always hated the dual tone bezel. Something about it has always looked shitty to me, idk why.

For that much cash and for how it looks, I'd rather spend $300 on a near perfect Rolex replica.

>>17118059
chazgingtime is also a very good one, a few anons have bought from there and posted about it here.

Anyone bought a watchbox from Amazon? I'm thinking about getting something cheap like this which has draws for all my straps and bracelets.

>>17118104
just make one dude. Alot more character and a conversation piece

>>17118055
Hell yeah anon, genuine Rolex buyers on suicide watch no pun intended

>>17118065

>>17118111
I could easily make a box but doing the holders sounds like a bitch. I'd rather just buy a box and build a proper one later, right now all my watches just sit loose on a shelf.

>>17118127
i'm sure the anons on here would help you

>>17118134
I'll build one in the future but for now I need something temporary that's at least half decent and capable of surviving moving to another country.

>>17118145
we should do that: have a survey of all the anons and we create an official /wt/ watchbox

>>17118163
That'd be pretty comfy. I at least know how to build wooden boxes and do hinges etc but upholstering is some shit I have no skill at all in. The biggest challenge for a box will probably be getting the watch pillows right.

>>17117349
the ROM, lol. It sounds cool. I'm thinking of trying GrapheneOS myself.

>>17117919
It’s really unique without being tacky, good buy

new bicompax 39mm hanhart

>>17117516
It's printed on a clear disc that rotates.

>>17117709
I think that's kinda silly. Also i was born in the decade of weird design so...

>>17118227
Thanks anon

>>17117742
>>17117746
I really like the pale grayish white color of the dial.

>>17117785
I make high rez audio recordings of flatulence and bowel movements and sell them to scat freaks on the dark web.

I want to change straps on my 7002.
I'm thinking of a military green nato or a nice brown leather strap.
Any other suggestions? Orange feels a bit hard to pair with.

>>17118439
I’d go rubber. Uncle Seiko makes excellent vintage styled ones but he also makes bracelets that are significantly higher quality than the chintzy shit that comes on low end Seikos. I highly recommend.

https://www.uncleseiko.com/collections/standard-rubber-straps

>>17118104
These are extremely light and will feel cheap and disappointing.

What's a good looking watch for college? I want something on the nicer side 100-200$ but not the premier Rolex ones. I'm talking g shock and casio levels cheap.

>>17118576
Casio make some really nice cheaper stuff. Seiko 5s are probably your best bet if you want a mechanical.

>>17118576
You should give more details, like wrist size, analog or digital, type of strap. Pic rel is dirty cheap and looks good

>>17118629
man's watch, that
something you can kick around and get busted up, but still looks good

>>17118629
>>17118646
Casio do a really good job balancing between aesthetics and practicality on their nicer stuff.

>>17118649
IMCO, Casio are like the Rolex of watches

>>17118629
here in the UK, i can grab one right now from Amazon for £54 crisps

that's around $65 in burgers

>>17118646
Also consider these >>17116628, still within your budget. They are solar and have digital functions like alarms which can be quite useful

>kick around and get busted up
All those are solid watches that will handle water and moderate collisions but if you're thinking serious abuse you should get a gshock, something like pic rel

>>17118700
ah, sorry bro: i'm not the college anon - i have the 1AER and it's a delight

i also have a w-86 for smashing around in so i don't really 'need' the 1AVUEF

... but i kinda want one

Is there such a thing as a digital watch with constant lume? Or at least one with an on/off switch?

>>17117919
Not a fan of the bracelet. Over-the-top like MrFreezes suit from Batman and Robin.

Which one?

>>17118733
I only know of mods. Search "casio digital lume mod" on youtube

>>17118202
Pretty cool, no bugs, I'm just an average user though, I don't do anything special with it apart from some magisk. I bought my phone choosing among those with lineage support, and installed it the first day. Graphene is really really cool but I wouldn't risk it on my main phone. But maybe things have changed now and it's usable as a daily driver, idk

Shinzo wore an Omega.
