/fa/ - Fashion

Are there any dress watches that have lume? I'd like to be able to check the time in bed or on a dark street.

>>17122015
Dress watches are supposed to be worn at the office, in broad daylight. You don't need lume on a dress watch.
Also lume isn't a noble material.

>>17122017
Fair. What's a good watch (that isn't a diver) that would be good as a day and night watch? I'm going to be doing a cross country trip and will want to check the time in the dark sometimes.

>>17122019
Marathon

>>17122019
What you're looking for a "luxury sports watch" on a bracelet, that can be worn on leather at the office. Typically it's a steel watch, 3 hands, 100m water resistance, automatic movement.
Pretty much all watch brands do this.
Pic related is the Omega Aqua Terra on leather.

>>17122033
Essentially I suppose but on a budget since it will probably get knocked about a bit. Something in the sub $200 range would be nice.

>>17122033
Is there a watch like this but not so douchy?

>>17122036
See
>>17122026

>>17122036
wait for 11.11 and get a san martin explorer SN021G-B2

>>17122038

>>17122037
What's douchy about it?

>>17122038
>first result is $600
dude what

>>17122041
Good price.
>>17122044
Get it on sale like I did

>>17122046
That really doesn't help me at all anon, I don't have the time to wait on the remote chance of there being a 60% off sale.

>>17122047
Well stay poor then

>>17122038
>anon requests sub $200 watch
>bro buy this $600 watch
this is why these threads are considered so shit now

>>17122048
I'll be the opposite of poor by not dumping $600 on something that is apparently only worth $200.

>>17122036
>>17122036
seiko 5 is always a good bet for that, here's a few for reference >>17120871

>>17122055
Do any of those lume or anything though? Something that's also functional at night is what I'm after.

>>17122041
On Marathon's site the painted lume version is $240 and the tritium tube version is $300. For the tiny size anyways

>>17122058
yes they all have lume on indices and hands, it's not gonna be diver-tier but it's definitely usable

>>17122065
Even so, it's not quite what I'm looking for. It's a big too sporty/military while I want something a bit more dressy.

>>17122066
Really? The indices all look like they were metal/chrome plastic and wouldn't have any lume. I'll go by a watch place and look at some of these then, I do have a soft spot for Seiko.

>>17122019
Just search for a cheap Citizen.

>>17122070
>citizen
gross

ID on this watch? Or one like it?

>>17122019
Any pilot watch or field watch. Those are generally reasonably sized (not counting Big Pilots), reasonably slim, have lume, and have an understated look that you can get away with wearing it as a dress watch in a pinch.

>>17122068
generally the indices only have a small dot of lume so they're pretty understated, there's a few in that list where the whole index is lumed. not sure about availability in stores, afaik these are older models

>>17122085
Very comfy, I like it. I'll ask around at stores since they tend to have a tonne of different models, so I'm sure some will be from that list. Does the lume at least last a while? The brightness isn't a major issue.

>>17122086
Seiko's lume compound is the absolute best you're getting in that price range. I've got a Seiko 5 Sports diver and a Casio double the price and the Seiko completely mogs it.

>>17122092
Based. I have a Casio Duro currently and the lume is strong for about 2 minutes and then fades badly, so I think I'll be really impressed by the Seiko.

From what I've heard the Cartier Santos is becoming harder to find in stores.
Cartier has raised its price this year (the 35mm Santos went from 6500€ to 7000€).
The price on C24 for used models is now around 6500€.
Get a Santos while you can. This watch will sell for 10k in 2 years.

>>17122015
Closest thing I know is SUR315P1 (put it on a leather strap)

>>17122017
Bullshit. You don't wear a dress watch for an evening event? How are you checking the time in the dark back of a taxi? What if you travel for work and one to carry just one watch?
>Also lume isn't a noble material
Lol what's a noble material? Is vile stainless steel noble? Is literal cow skin noble?

>>17122099
>You don't wear a dress watch for an evening event?
No you don't. Clothing etiquette says you shouldn't wear a watch with an evening attire like a tuxedo.
>Lol what's a noble material? Is vile stainless steel noble? Is literal cow skin noble?
Stainless steel isn't noble. Gold is. Dress watches are traditionnally made in gold. Some brands (Cartier, JLC...) make dress watches in steel now but many people find these tasteless.

>>17122103
>Clothing etiquette says you shouldn't wear a watch with an evening attire

>>17122096
>This watch will sell for 10k in 2 years.
It will sell for 4k in 4 years when it's out of fashion. Cartiers are fashion watches and work in boom-bust cycles. Look at their less popular models. The Pasha costs the same as a Santos, but you can get a Pasha for around 4-5k easily.

>>17122105
It's true. Wearing a watch is considered tacky and insulting to your host. Like you want to check the time to see how long you have to stick around before leaving his party.

>>17122096
Nah, they’re very easy to get, I went to a store yesterday and they had them in tons of different configurations.

>>17122107
What about at events like weddings? What if you were the groom?
Just wondering since it would be nice to wear a nice watch when I get married.

>>17122107
This.
Also your host supposedly have a clock in their reception room.

>>17122110
I mean, these are very old rules and nowadays no one gives a fuck. You can wear a G-Shock with a tuxedo and no one will care or even notice.

If you want to go by tradition, a dress watch must be small, thin, gold/platinum, having no complications (small seconds optional), no lume, and having a simple dial, mounted on a leather strap.

>>17122112
Well as far as tradition is concerned for grooms, is it still a no-no?

>>17122103
>Some brands (Cartier, JLC...) make dress watches in steel now but many people find these tasteless.
Steel Tanks, notwithstanding. (Those are just mass-market unit shifters anyway) I don't think a lot of those watches that people perceive as "dress watches" are intended to be dress watches.

Like the stuff in JLC's Master line. Many of those aren't meant to be dress watches. They're meant to be everyday watches you wear at work. Large, tough, with lume, 50m wr, and useful complications. Those are meant to make your job easier.

>>17122110
People are wearing divers with suits now, so nobody will blame you if you're wearing a watch on your honey moon.
Just wear a watch that is important to you on that day (like your father's watch, your first luxury watch, the watch your girlfriend bought you, etc).

>>17122113
Weddings are an iffy case, since a lot of the time your father or new father-in-law will give you his watch to wear so that his marital success rubs off on you. Beyond that, though, if you went bare-wristed, it just means you can have your cuffs better-tailored without having to worry if some steel sports chonker will fit underneath it.

>>17122118
>wearing the watch your girlfriend gave you on your wedding day

The balls on this guy

>>17122118
>>17122121
It'd be a weird feel to get my fathers watch, my grandfather didn't live to see him get married so he may not even know of the tradition.

>>17122103
>Dress watches are to be worn in the day only
Well this is new to me.
And you still failed to provide a definition of what's a noble material. The dial material of that watch is probably plastic. A dress watch should look good with a dress, the rest are rules made up by yourself. This simply means being elegant, thin and small.

>>17122117
>Like the stuff in JLC's Master line. Many of those aren't meant to be dress watches. They're meant to be everyday watches you wear at work. Large, tough, with lume, 50m wr, and useful complications. Those are meant to make your job easier.
This is true. The idea of what a dress watch is has become so warped, particularly among Burgers, who think any watch that isn't a diver on a rubber strap is "dressy".

>>17122124
>And you still failed to provide a definition of what's a noble material
Noble metals is a common term. You can look up the definition for yourself. Anon didn't make it up.
They are Rhenium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold

>>17122122
You gotta let her know you love her but you've got other options. It's a classic power play.

What does /wt/ think of Voutilainen?

>>17122128
A mark of wealth and taste.

>>17122126
I know what a noble metal is. He said noble *material*

>>17122068
Save some money and buy a Sarb033

>>17122075
Find a better pic and come back.

>>17122132

>>17122134
Not possible since the source video is 480p. Lazy fuckers refuse to release Frasier in 1080p despite having the original negatives.

>>17122133
>t. spent the money he saved not buying a Rolex on fried food.

>>17122042
Just looks like something a dudebro would buy at the mall to flex, very tasteless with those markers and lines on the dial and shit.

>>17122141
That's unfortunate. I can understand it in effects-heavy shows where it's impractical to redo it all but the fuck is stopping them with something that'd make it back on syndication anyway?

>>17122142
He probably spent the money saved on 9 or 10 other nice watches.

>>17122145
Not enough people caring would be my guess but then again, Seinfeld got 4K recently from the original negatives.

>>17122147
If Babylon 5 can get a shiny HD transfer for HBO Max, surely Fraiser can justify it.

>>17122128
Looks like a Frederique Constant lmfao.

>>17122150
One day I hope. The final season was shot in HD so that's at least available in 720p (but not 1080p for some reason).

>>17122128
No doubt a shit ton of work has been put into it, but I find that utterly ugly and tasteless.

>>17122128
Lovely watches but I think most of them are too busy for what they are. Also unfortunately the small high end independent meme is not worth it anymore when everything is pre-allocated and they are selling for 5x MSRP when they already start at ridiculous prices.

People talk about the Orient Bambino a lot and rightfully so, but I never see the Symphony brought up. Got the deep blue one, replaced the faux-croc strap with a plain black leather one. Nice on the wrist and the deep blue sunburst dial adds a little visual interest you wouldn't get from the plain black. Like it a lot as a somewhat dressier option.

So when will Tudor equip the BB36 with its MT5400 movement?
I need a solid blue dial 36mm watch to wear on a bracelet or nato, but I refuse to pay for that shitty ETA movement.

>>17122019
A Casio with light. Seriously, lume is great but barely noticable after 1 hour.

>>17122165
The day after you cave and buy the current version, so do everyone a favour and buy one soon.

>>17122167
Decent lume is still very easy to read in the dark after 3 or 4 hours

>>17122017
>noble material
Noberu gassu

>>17122141
I see. It'll be hard to discern anything from that, sorry.

>>17122142
That's not me on the pic.

>>17122019
Panerai has the best lume in the industry I think. The big numerals and sandwich/sausage dials means they really pack it in.

>>17122128
That balance wheel is huge, what's the beatrate, 9000vph?

>>17122180
Panerai has nothing 'best' in the industry.

>>17122158
What's with the IV?

>>17122096
>Get a Santos while you can. This watch will sell for 10k in 2 years.
seems like the FOMO marketing works on you

>>17122075
RM011

>>17122184
Frankly if the brand didnt have such a shitty reputation and didnt fall for cringe marketing, I'd happily wear a Luminor Due (they need to fix WR though).

Behold, the holy trinity of cope.
Which one is your favorite?

>>17122180
They just use normal Super-Luminova like anyone else. They just use tons of it.

Gotta speedy

>>17122216
Can I just get a PRX and save a couple grand until I can afford an Overseas

Here's my watch! My prized possession.

>>17122221
Yes, that's why their lume is better.

>>17122227
One of the few rolexes that are actually good looking imo, beautiful watch friend

Which watches will help me pick up big dick trans girls?

The Seamaster 300 has pretty good lume. The latest Bond edition has a lumed bezel which is a nice touch.

>>17122193
The older Panerais, series A through G or so, were pretty nice. Tough, durable, relatively inexpensive, unique looking. I didn't mind them using off-the-shelf movements because they were simple and easy to fix.

The problem is that they had no follow-up act. They tried to move way too far upmarket and, in the process, killed whatever made them special in the first place. It's like you had to have been there for the early days of Paneristi.com insufferable. Most of the originals have simply moved on and stayed in contact via other channels, but have abandoned the site.

>>17122224
Sure. Why not?

The wimbledon dial is a crime against humanity and good taste. This is designed like a 1990 website

>>17122216
For me, it's the H. Moser Streamliner.

>>17122249
Not a cope if it's the better watch.

>>17122180

>>17122248
I can't believe Rolex made a watch to tie in with the original Xbox and I never heard about it.

>>17122013

>>17122257

>>17122257
Seems gigantic on your wrist. I saw that it's a 40mm, have you ever tried a 35mm? Might go better with your wrist

>>17122165
Is the mt5000 even small enough? The new clasp is a more pressing update imo.

>>17122257
That's too big. But I mean you've been wearing it three years you might as well continue

>>17122248

>>17122165
Maybe when they run out of current stock. It's probably their bestselling watch.

>>17122354
You're right in the sense all Rolex are made with the same level of quality, from the Oyster Perpetual to the gold incrusted diamonds Daytona.
But still, there are some fugly models in the current collection...

>>17122401
That's the most meh orange i have ever seen.

Just spent £120 on a rubber strap, it better be good.

>>17122527
Does it not have running seconds then?

For rustic I'm thinking you should be looking at 'field watches', which is a military style but also an outdoors watch. Citizen Chandler, Hamilton Khaki field, and the Seiko Alpinist and it's useless compass complication but hey at least it looks outdoorsy. That style of watch usually has a moderate water resistance and a matte finish so you don't have to worry about water or scratches as much.

Anyone know of any Tritium lume digital watches?

Lads, I really like the Tudor Ranger but I think this will be the first watch I won't go for the bracelet.
What are y'all thoughts on it?

Just got a call from a tudor AD, had put my name down for a BB Pro and he just tried to tell me I could come in and buy a 'root beer' black bay, assuming the SG 41 or 36 or something which I never expressed any interest in lmfao. I had known Tudor was fucked when every AD I called spent like five minutes telling me about how incredibly in demand and desirable the Pro was, and asking about purchase history, this is just another level though, trying to get me to buy shit I don't want just to buy a Tudor lmfao.

get a loan and buy a daytona grey market. the value will only go up, its basically free money

>>17123464
It wouldn't be a smart investment as you're speculating on an object currently being produced.
You don't know how things are gonna turn. Maybe Rolex can decide to multiply by 10 its production on this specific item. They can also release a new, better and cheaper model, next year.
If you're taking a loan for an investment (which you shouldn't, but whatever), spend the money on a model that has been discontinued a long time ago, because these will only become rarer with time. Buy it in great shape with all its original parts, full set, one or two services top.
A 70s GMT Master II in great shape is basically UNESCO world heritage tier now.

>>17123472
>You don't know how things are gonna turn. Maybe Rolex can decide to multiply by 10 its production on this specific item. They can also release a new, better and cheaper model, next year.
Yeah and either way it will still go up lmfao.

When I first saw this watch I thought it looked boring (besides the movement), but I just saw Tim's Watchbox review of it and noticed the combination of finishes on the case. It's actually quite beautiful.

>>17123480
Yeah shame you can get a Seiko that looks 90% like that for like $500.

>>17123480
Still so fucking boring.

At what price does it become inexcusable for watch's bracelet to just be a simple three-link bracelet?

>>17123509
wouldn't know, all my bracelets are fake 5 links that are actually just one link
better question is at what price point you shouldn't have to deal with not having toolless microadjust
are there any halfway decent aftermarket bracelets/clasps that offer this?

>>17123163
Not that shiny/Shine

>>17122013
That baltic looks sweet, are they worth it?

>>17123231
He doesn't have to unscrew the screws at all. You're the dumb one here.

>>17123320
Looks pathetically oversized

>>17123227
You click the part of metal up (near the 'UP+' that curves down into the plastic) with a small flathead screwdriver and you should be able to lift it up enough so that the battery can slide out.

Watch to go with this style? Nothing over 2-3k please.

>>17123536
Thanks!

>>17123538

>>17123227

>>17123547
kek perfect

>>17123552
What the fuck are you doing? The thing I've highlighted needs to be unclipped and then the battery can be removed easily, there's no need for a screwdriver.

>>17123530
They're great. You can tell they spent a good amount of money on case design. Don't expect too much from the movement though.

>>17123565
That's what i meant, he can use a toothpick also.

>am bald
>can't wear Baltic because it sounds like baldic and everyone will call me Baldic

>am bald
>can't wear Halios because it sounds like Hairloss and everyone will call me Hairloss

How bad is it to let an automatic stop? Not for a year or anything like that but maybe for a few weeks/months.

>am bald
>can't wear Vulcain because it sounds like Rogaine and everyone will call me Rogaine

>>17123664
Mostly harmless.
If you let it sit for months, though, the lubricating oils might start to pool. When you restart it it may be less accurate than you remember for a few days before the oils redistribute themselves.

>>17123673
But then it will be okay after that? I'm trying to figure out a good routine.
I'm also curious, how long does it take to full wind one up? An automatic I have currently will die overnight but I only really wear it for about 3 or 4 hours at a time.

>>17123677
>I only really wear it for about 3 or 4 hours at a time.
yeah, you usually need more than that to reach full power reserve, you should wear it for a full day and check if it's in line with the power reserve declared for the movement

>>17123644
Sounds like Halitosis to me.
>>17123668
That's just stupid.

>>17123686
Ah I see, thank you anon. I was starting to wonder if something might be wrong with it.

I'm getting a different auto soon and wanted to treat it a lot better than the current one. Would wearing it to bed help with charging it or is that just a wasted effort?

>>17123695
do you flail your arms around when asleep? if no, then no, the watch will not automagically wind itself, do you think it runs off of your heartbeat?

>>17123699
I thought it might charge a little from me shifting from side to side since I'm a side sleeper.

>>17123704
irrelevant amount of winding, counter argument could be that you taking off the watch at night and putting it on in the morning winds it more than you shifting in your sleep
just wear the watch for a full work day, I don't see where the problem is, are you a NEET?

>>17123714
No I was just genuinely curious. I don't even really fully understand how automatic watches work, only that it's movement based and retains that energy somehow.

>>17123694
>Halitosis
There's a watch for that too.

>>17123695
Most newer automatics have hand winding as well.

>>17123736
forgot pic

>>17123742
Halitosis Breakwind

>>17123742
Not bad except for the GMT seconds hand. Bizarre.

How many of you watch guys are cryptobros?

Like how much of this market is morons is what I am trying to figure out.

How autistic would it be to get some rally timers for a desk clock. Hard bit is finding a set that has both a regular clock and a timer. A set of smiths seem to be the affordable option since pic related is dumb expensive

>>17123844
I think it would be cool. My boss has an old Cartier clock on his desk (similar to pic related).
It's a nice vintage decorative element.

So the YEN have been crashing lately but those asshats at Sakura watches, Seya Japan and Co have kept prices high on jdm products and even some Chrono24 dealers have kept prices the same. Others seems to be selling in JPY so the prices actually follow forex rates.

Should I just fly to the Iwate prefecture and buy watches at the source or do I get better deals out of some big box stores like BIC Camera ? They used to have no-tx and aditionnal 5% if you pay with visa or something but I don't know if it's still like that or if there are better moments to buy watches or sales in general.

>>17123909
Go there and buy a bunch then sell me a GS

>>17123909
I've seen 10-15% off retail, but that's it. Hasn't tracked the yens decline, but it is still cheaper.
>>17123912
GS has some special models you can only buy at the factory fyi

>>17123909
For instance, this is 2707 at Sakura, and retails for 3700 in the states, plus tax so 4kish. Even with a <$300 import duty, it's a substantial discount.

>>17123842
90% of people are either crypto tards or from rich families. So 90% retardation.

Just recently joined my states horological society. Got to hold a Rolex for the first time in my life the other day as well. Good bit of fun. Currently own a Seiko Coutura but my next watch purchase will be a grand seiko sbgw.

>>17123961
If you're not retarded, how come you're poor?

>>17123842
I’m a cryptic bro :D

>>17123963
This is what the Rolex looked like. Guy said he got it for $6800.

>>17123971
I’m retarded.

>>17123976
/softboy/ aesthetic

I kinda want to visit the studio and chat with the watchmakers and order a custom watch. That sounds like a great experience.

>>17123984
Vacheron will do that for you also

>>17123971
>>17123976
It will be worth ten times that in 10 years.
>in b4 "Rolex price are dropping right now"
This model has been discontinued by Rolex. It will only go up.

>>17122107
you may not have noticed, but at the very top of your phone screen, you have the time!

this is antiquated bullshit traditionalism-for-its-own-sake ettiquite. get with it. watches are just fashion unless youre rocking g shocks or smart watches. if most people agree you can and should wear a nice watch to an evening event, we would say that its in fashion to do so.

lume on analogues is sick and is a flex in a club or other dark place. i think timex makes a few models that do this i dont remember off the top of my head though.

>>17124037
Hilarious. Rolex is run by the nastiest bunch of cunts in the industry, and that's really saying something. Unfortunately for every savvy customer who tells them to fuck off with their bullshit, there are 10 zoomers ready to fellate the AD and take their place.

Posting my Tudor. One part of my collection.

>>17124042
Why though?
I think Rolex is pretty based.
All of their watches are made with the same level of finishing and the same base movement. You even get the same box wether you're buying a steel OP or a golden Day Date. A Rolex is a Rolex. How many brands have that philosophy?
I don't get why people blame them for that whole grey market situation. They're already producing 1,3M watches a year and are currently increasing their production capacities. They can't control the retards who are spending 15k on a 6k watch.

>>17124042
You sound like a bitter person that gets rejected by Rolex. I was lucky to walk in and walk out with a 116500LN

>>17124063
Yeah. Really convincing.
>>17124059
>release a new good entry level watch

Yes, how based of them.

Cope

>>17124059
Theyve been making the same uninspired sports watches for decades now. I guess that's cool?

>>17124037
It’s an absolutely gorgeous watch as well. The movement wasn’t as smooth as I’d like but it was still quite impressive. Had a good heft to it.

Am I crazy? This thing is fucking ugly

>>17124083
Not at all crazy, the ceramic Daytonas are even uglier than the generation that came before it. Flat bezel or bust.

>>17124076
Yeah, Rolex is an heritage brand.

>>17124083
I hate the fat indices but I think the steel version is best looking chrono on the market.
It's simple, well proportioned, and sturdy.
Also no date. Based.

>>17124059
>All of their watches are made with the same level of finishing
so their 40k day date has the same mediocre finishing as a 6k OP while being more expensive than a Patek Calatrava?
Rolex fanboys are even bigger cucks than I thought

>>17124093
They are the great Satan

>>17124089
how come there are 100 "hommage" knock offs for every Rolex model except for their best looking one?

>>17124099

It's literally none of those things. Nice bait.

Never heard of that, what are the prices?
