/fa/ - Fashion

I will NEVER buy a watch from the Swatch or Richemont Groups. I'm only interested in brands that are 100% independant.

And yes, I did write INDEPENDANT.

ok. that is it. i have, mere moments ago, become sick of watches. it is over. this hobby is stupid, too expensive, i have way too many fucking watches, i'm sick of wanting every new one i see, sick of the pointlessness of it all, and sick of the entire obsession. i need one watch. and that's it. it needs to tell the time. that's it. this is ridiculous. i'm off to find something new. good day all.

>>17160086
see you tomorrow anon

PSA for anyone wanting an accutron, don't get it serviced by mybob. This is what he'll leave the jewels looking like afterwards. Filthy and possibly with dried on oil that was never removed.

>>17160092
And a fiber left in the movement next to the fucking index wheel (an especially delicate wheel).

>>17160086
just one more

>>17160086
Literally me after getting my first "luxury" watch and realizing they're overpriced as fuck and people that collect them are mentally ill
spending 15k on a rolex or AP is clown world shit

>>17160107
I'm a GS fan but this doesn't make any sense.

>>17160112
It's a great bargain to buy something that holds value so well. You're poor so you don't understand about investing in assets tho.

>>17160112
The world is a joke, might as well have fun instead of sitting around thinking about how retarded everything is.

>>17160086
Congratulations anon, you are on the road to recovery.

>>17160121
>watches
>hold value well
Lol. That’s like saying a car holds value well. Once you drive it off the lot, it loses 50% of its value. It’s going to get scratched and dented unless you’re keeping it in a safe. Then what’s the fucking point? At that point just go actually investment your money in stocks or something more meaningful

>>17160123
>might as well just cope and keep consooming

kek, kmao even

>>17160121
If you think of a steel rolex as an investment you are poor as shit

>>17160112
lol I wish I could get an AP for 15k

>>17160127
>It’s going to get scratched and dented unless you’re keeping it in a safe
where do you think all those Rolexes go?

>>17160127
this is your mind on poverty

>>17160069
Because you like it? You don't renovate your bathroom to be made with expensive italians tials and a claw foot bath tub and a sink carved out of a single piece of quartz to impress other people, you get that because you like those things

Good watch

>>17160138
>You don't renovate your bathroom to be made with expensive italians tials and a claw foot bath tub and a sink carved out of a single piece of quartz to impress other people
lol you are clueless

>>17160107
But i like the aqua terra!

>>17160137
Your mind on poverty is buying watches as an investment instead of jewelry to wear.

>>17160127
A polished Datejust from the 80s sell for around 6,5k. The buying price back then was barely 1k, which is 3k with inflation.
That's a good investment.

>>17160143
Not an argument

>>17160145
Soulless watch.

what does anon think of the le locle?

>>17160146
You can do much better with actual investments.

>>17160065
Adam RPK watches are way too expensive for what they give you

>>17160149
Anon here thinks it's decent.

>>17160148
I think it looks neat!

>>17160123
Let it happen

>>17160150
A watch isn't an investment. I wear my Rolex everyday.
The fact it can at least keep despite its value despite the scratches is just a huge bonus.

>>17160159
That I don't argue

>>17160107
>Being so butthurt you had to modify the original meme.

Cope, if you must, and you will.

>>17160072
I agree. Why would you buy a watch where your money goes to a different company? Conglomerates are puppet masters using bankrupt brands to siphon money from uninformed consumers.

>>17160176
If you can't afford AT LEAST Luxury, why even try, /fa/?

>>17160072

>>17160179
And yet all of the Luxury brands are cope & sneed

Is this like the prepper concept of a gray man? If so, who'd be dumb enough to wear anything, especially fancy accessories, that could stand out?

>>17160314
>Do this kind of marketing trick actually work?

Yes, but not in the sense of "See the billboard, buy the watch."
You see the ad, and forget about it, then you see the movie and you start to pay attention to the watch. You think the watch is cool because Ryan Gosling's character is cool. Then you see the ad again and know exactly where to get that watch.

The only watch anyone ever needs is a GShock

>>17160335
No, incel retard. It's an ex secret service spy who works for an agency that doesn't exist.

>It's an ex secret service spy who works for an agency that doesn't exist.
Pretty much the same, not like a spy would want to stand. So unless this spy is infiltrating some upper class group that wears fancy watches, I don't see how this goes against my original comment.

>>17160343
Orient>Seiko>Casio>Timex>Invicta

>>17160343
Kinda boring, only going for black or I think really dark blue in the case of the timex. The orient is clearly the best, though the casio and timex are pretty sweet too.

Grand seiko is basically high horology

PRETTY SUBTLE

But in all seriousness people legitimately post pictures of blockbuster megastars wearing some watch and imagine if they get JUST THAT EXACT watch with JUST THAT EXACT strap then they'll be just as cool. Like it's not about being tall or well built or handsome, it's totally the watch

>>17160359
Riiiiiiiight

>>17160314
For me it's Diesel.

>>17160343

>>17160430
Imagine being the poor photographer who has to try and make Diesel watches look good. Christ that guy is living in an abstract sort of hell

>>17160149
Not a bad looking watch. I'd wear it.

>>17160343
You could have bought one decent watch for the combined cost of these shitters.

What watch size would fit my wrist?

>>17160489
Wear the watch behind the wrist bone not on top of it. Anyway most watches up to 42mm will fit fine 40mm-38mm will be ideal.

>>17160494
Does my only watch,my faithful vostok,fit me well?

>>17160497
Yeah its fine. Only looking at wrist shots gives you a distorted idea of how watches look. Stand un fron of a mirror with your hand on your chest to see what ut actually looks like without a fisheye camera lens

>>17160479
Like what?

>>17160489
god I hate that picture

>>17160337
It’s true but I like my windup toys a lot

>>17160501
Looks fine to me,maybe slightly oversized,but it works
What I dont like is that the metal strap is a bit too lose,but if I take another one of the bracelet segments I cant even put it on,and if I put on another segment It becomes much too loose.
Is it possible to fix this or do I have to just work with a slightly loose watch on my arm?

Anons, it is time.

>>17160505
Here's another,just for you

>>17160516
wayyyy ahead of you bud

>>17160521
cartier thanks

>>17160512
Slightly loose is fine, you will get used to it. Or you can get some other style of strap to use on it. There is info about cheap straps in the op

>>17160516
Is this the watch of low life anons who hate on expensive watches?

>>17160516
Like clockwork.

>>17160404
underrated

>>17160512
The Vostok bracelets are notoriously bad btw, and I say this as a vostok owner. If you have the chance replace it with a fun good bracelet or strap, also it's good to have a few different ones to switch it up from time to time

After the dust finally settled...
Is Tudor cope or not?

>>17160564
The dust is nowhere near settled...

>>17160359
no it's not
but honestly I'd buy it for the movement and superb finishing.

>>17160565
what a shame

>>17160564
Depends on the model. Pelagos and the heritage chrono aren't cope. A lot of the black bays are.

>>17160564
Everything's cope, your friends, your house, your car, your job, your life, your sexual partner, it's called being human. Rolex is also a cope, it's an NPC's idea of haute horlogerie, when in reality it's not even close, it's just high end mass produced trash.

>>17160564
It's building up some real credibility, i feel like there's a renaissance of a few brands right now including Breitling for example, the watch hype of the past couple of years definitely breathed some life into Tudor and their new designs, just look at how much attention their new releases get, although the ranger goes straight into the bin

>>17160564
Yes, but is a good watch anyway. I'd wear one if I could afford it.

How much of a faggot am I to buy into Rolex AD bullshit and buy my wife an OP 28 or DJ, just to get on the waitlist?
DESU I want to buy in pairs but they still said NO.
I got some info that you're in higher regard when you already bought something from Rolex...
Or should I just buy myself a Zenith instead?

>>17160566
Superb CASE finishing but not the movement. Their calibers are still subpar finished.

>>17160580
That's not how it works, you gotta buy the watch and rent out your wife for a weekend to the AD

>>17160580
>Or should I just buy myself a Zenith instead?
I'd prefer that Zenith to any Rolex offering.

>>17160573

>>17160587

>>17160706
I do agree. I don't think in meme irl, retards on here calling it a cope watch doesn't mean shit to me. I like the pelagos lhd, bb 925, heritage chrono and the red bezel bb.

>>17160792

>>17160794
>pelagos
I’m not left handed but pely is a great watch
>bb 925

>>17160796
Show me something pretty according to (You)

>>17160564
Tudor is the way to go now, Rolex is too urban for someone who is educated.
People always bring up it being cheaper but not care about the actual watch itself, just for the watch to have a crown.

>>17160799
I think even rolex understands that and it’s the reason they’re investing into tudor lineup.
Don’t get me wrong I’d still want to have some crown in my colection, but atm I’m in a position where I think Rolex is simply a brand for snobs that doesn’t know any better

>>17160798

>>17160564
if you cant buy the watch you really want you are coping

>>17160806
Not in my taste but I can’t say it’s ugly
That Nebula line tho…

>>17160564
If you'd rather have a Rolex? Yes it's cope. That doesn't really mean that much though. You wouldn't call JLC a cope brand, but I bet most people if they were honest would rather have a VC over it. And many people would prefer to have a Dufour over a Patek or Lange, but I wouldn't call Patek or Lange cope brands.

>>17160806

>>17160794
>bb 925
What were they thinking? This looks like the movement in my old Seiko 5. I'm not exaggerating.

eww

>>17160806
>>17160810
>>17160815
>cope & son
ugly

>>17160798
I'm not left handed either, i just like the operstor larp of having the crown out of the way. The 925 bb I would just get coated so it doesn't tarnish. The bb chrono is nice but I'm a sucker for racing chronos and the heritage chrono fits that aesthetic better. Res bezel bb is iconic and I find represents the brand perfectly.

>>17160807
>implying tudor is bad
I dare you to go to ad and ask for a rolex
>>17160812
Even if you want a rolex it’s pretty unobtainable if you want one from ad. Buying on grey market is for faggots tho
Also
>Lange
How wone can even consider this pos? First of all those are german and ugly as sin.

>>17160798
Oh forgot to add, nice choice on the bb gmt. I like that one. I would probably get the pepsi since a pepsi gmt master is unobtanium currently.

>>17160815
Very feminine

>>17160818
I just like sterling silver so I want a watch to match my jewelry. I don't like how white gold or platinum looks compared to shiny silver

My Steinhart is here. This is probably as close as I can get to a 1655

>>17160818
Still nice piece
>>17160822
>>17160824
>coating on 925
How does it work?
>heritage chrono because racing
Makes sense
>red bezel bb
I’d also would love to lay my hands on the Harrods. I find this color scheme really fitting
>Pepsi GMT
It was initially my first choice, but since I was too bitch to get s&g royal now I’m tinking to myself fuck it I’m going with s&g gmt.
I was also considering s&g chrono but I’m not into it as much as on gmt

if you own a steel watch you are coping

>>17160843
Love my Pepsi Tudor

>>17160818
I'd buy this if it had a solid caseback. I don't want to see that barely finished movement ever. Just a bizarre decision from Tudor.

>>17160806
I like the Globetrotter from Arnold & Son.

>>17160840

I’d rather go for BB Pro, but your is nice too.
How much for one? How thicc of a boi is it?

Is there a cheaper version of Tudor?

>>17160855

Best watch with worst brand name coming thru
Krayon anywhere

>>17160870
Really cool dial though. I assume the day/night rim automatically changes length for each portion over the seasons?

>>17160870
Annual calander, tracks the length of day and sunrise/sunset in whatever region its set for.

>>17160843
Actually seeing them back to back I think I prefer two tone on the tudor gmt rather than the pepsi. The coating is done by a jeweler, idk how it works, just stops the silver from oxidizing, good for about a year or iirc.

>>17160872
Yup

>>17160874
>someone would tamper with my shit
Nuh-uh. Especially if it’ll last only abt a year
>>17160870
It might be nice and expensive, but the name alone make me not even consider looking at it for the second time.

>>17160873
Is that weird wheel with the screw through it's middle how the day/night works is set for a specific region?

LV has two brilliant watchmakers doing basically whatever they want and they frequently win accolades at GPHG and elsewhere. RL has released some exceptional and exceptionally weird pieces over the year integrating tourbillons with automotive theming by partnering with some excellent watchmakers. It’s misleading because when you think of RL or LV you instinctively think of the dogshit quartz they peddle as that comprises most of their sales, but both brands have a fairly serious watchmaking division hidden behind that.

>tfw seeing a lot more people wearing their traditional watch on one hand and their Apple Watch on the other.
How do you lads feel about it? I miss using the Apple Watch bc I could leave my phone behind, might give it a try.

I find wearing two watches pleb and pairing a regular watch with apple watch is beyond ridiculous.
On the other hand if your iwatch has an esim and you’re dropping your phone entirely just fucking put it in your pocket ffs

got this cool watch for just $250

Peak mall shitter. There are many better watches that can be had for $250 BUT if you like it then that's what matters

Depends on how much you spend on watches and how often you wear suits

>>17160893
Fashion watches have been and always will be garbage overprice chink shit.

>>17160899
Looks like $600k for the Everywhere

What is the scoop with Japan? Whenever I find a certain watch model, they have it for the absolute lowest price, in the best condition. Almost always.

Do they make elaborate fakes? These are usually searches where the original box and papers are included, as well.

My fiance is going to buy me a watch as a wedding present. She's going to spend roughly $1500 on it. What should I tell her to get me? Any recommendations are welcome, but the thinner the better and I'm not a big fan of chronographs. I've been looking at pic related.

>>17160947

Thanks for the heads up. That's crazy.

Then why won't those retards fully open up traveling? Everyone wants to travel halfway around the world and give them fistfuls of cash just for existing and being Japanese.

Fuck it, I'm going to make some purchases and see which ones go through on Chrono24.

Do it, the japs are actually honest about grading used goods too. A visible scratch or two gets rated poor. No boomer 'it looks fine to me' bullshit

Is it corelated to crypto tho? Isn’t it also a fault of chinks housing crash?
Having said that even watchfinder has sale on rolexes with prices drop between 5 and 30 percent

>>17160907
Maybe, but the main problem is that the watch is too big for you.

>>17160979
Is it worth buying from an Omega Boutique for the "experience"? Or should I just save money and buy it online?

>>17160988
I think you already know the answer to that anon.

>>17160979

This seems true with most watches I have found. "Very Good" on Chrono24 ranges from scuffed all to hell to pristine. The Japanese ones are always pristine.

>>17160988
Buy your watch online and then take it to the boutique to get the strap adjusted and you'll get the same experience, I took my Speedy I bought off jomashop to get it sized, and they put the box and everything in their shopping bag with bows and wrapped everything nice.

>>17160993
Oh shit really. Didn't think they would do that. It'd be nice to get an Omega bag and all that.

>>17161005
I took the watch with the box it came in and said I got it as a gift.
They offered me a drink while I waited for the strap to get adjusted, im assuming its in their interest so you'll come back to service it in a few years.

>>17160964
Nice watch but you blew the budget.

Helicopter gang! Get to the chopard!

>>17161011
Sweet I'm just worried they may end up scratching my watch

>>17161015
I'll kick in $500, link your fiances paypal, we can't have you getting married in a shitter

>>17161011
AKSHUALLY their main goal is to seduce you into buying another watch from them.

>>17161005
They're extremely bored sitting in a little shop all day waiting for customers who always buy online.
Retail is dying unless they bring back champagne service and valet parking (the big brands do and they get all the high-end customers)

>>17160981
IDK, just an article I saw a couple days ago, consider the source. I do think we have seen the peak in the secondary market though.

>>17161025
Thanks bro, I'll make you best man.

>>17161020
Nah, they aren't gonna fuck up your watch, now, some shitty jewelry store will probably fuck it up, but not the omega AD.

Do you guys think if FTL travel had been invented, that every sentiniet race would at some point have invented something like a pocket/wrist watch, that would be relevant to whatver kind of cycles their anything goes by? Then we'd be able to collect kino alien watches?

Thank you for responding to me,but I have to ask
Why 36-37mm specifically? and
Do you have any other watches of that size which COULD take a beating and which you COULD go swimming with?
Those watches you posted look real purdy,atleast some of them but the problem is they are definetly not as shock resistant as a vostok,a army watch and barely have any water resistance at all.
I will factor in your reply when I will be looking for another watch,I will try all the sizes,give the workers there a hell of a day with such a demanding costumer(FYI in Romania if you dont just buy the product and get out of there you are considered rude by the employees because they want to stand arround all day)

>>17161390
the same as every other rolex has looked for the last 50 years

>>17161458
>Why 36-37mm
Because of 16 cm wrist.

>COULD take a beating
Watches are not for beating. Non-pleb people take their watches off while beating.

Watches that take beating are disgusting in occasions other than beating.

These are not dress watches. These are sports watches. Exactly made for this:
>worn everywhere and at anytime

What other options for watches this size do I have?
