/fa/ - Fashion

got this watch ordered at an AD (invoiced)
am i gonna make it /wt/

What was your first expensive watch?
For me it was the Bell & Ross Desert Type.
I think I've bought it in 2016 or something in a duty free store.
Sold it a few months later after realizing how retarded I was. What an ugly piece of shit.

>>17182130
You get the verbal confirmation?

>>17182130
Yes it's the best version of the Datejust.
>36mm
>flutted bezel
>jubilee
Very based.
Ugly feet in the background though.

>>17182136
Shits nice, you paid retail for it?

>>17182139
i got 15% discount, paid 306€

>>17182118

>>17182134
i have the invoice order
i didn’t put money down though

>>17182135
i thought so too

>>17182135
That's the 36?

>>17182149
yes

> Your budget
$300
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Sports
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Don't mind
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Gold
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Don't mind
> Wrist size or desired watch size
40mm or bigger

No PRX please

>>17182118

I just love the Maltese cross on the bracelet

>>17182149
The 41mm has minute markers on top on the indices (pic related).

>>17182155

>>17182130
Very nice. Congrats man. That blue is stunning.

>>17182122
This is fantastic. Love the color, love the texture on the dial.

>>17182118
Nice PRX homage

>>17182163
The balance wheel isn't actually huge the watch is just really small.

>>17182211
Nice Oysterquartz homage

>>17182130
Good job anon. My heart belongs to the new mint green dootjust but I'd never turn that down. 36 is probably perfect for you, just looks a bit big from a phone camera.

What actually is a sports watch? What makes it so sporty?

>>17182226
Sports watch as opposed to dress watch.
It's sturdier, has more water resistance and usually comes on a metal bracelet, a nato or rubber strap.

20 years ago i'd have never thought that the /fa/shion board would be my first port of call in an evening

>>17182236
And that's it? I thought there was more behind it.

>>17182219
PRX is superior because no cyclops o_O

>>17182226
sports is a bit of a catch-all term in watches, referring to anything from driving your car, playing golf, shooting pheasants or pretty much any leisure activity; so it's a casual watch you can wear while relaxing
you might compare that class to a 'dress' watch, usually referring to dressing for dinner in black-tie; or a 'tool' watch that has some functional aspect useful to work such as a diver

that being said, most modern watches tend to be something of a hybrid, because the fashion has changed to the idea of all watches being luxury goods with little relation to occasion or circumstance so you could see someone wearing a black-dialled diver with a tux, as readily as seeing a thin minimalist watch in the office

>>17182131
What did you not like about it?
Not that I would buy one but I do find the extremely square case to be appealing.

>>17182249
The difference is rather huge

>>17182238
Yeah. You probably thought you’d be married and have kids. Lmfao

>>17182214
40.5mm case

>>17182252
>>17182258
I think I get it now, I just don't want to sound stupid in front of people that know much more about watches than me.

>>17182259
mate, forget wife and kids, i was promised i'd be a leeb h4x0r who could get a job in tech support

>>17182261
Pretty much watches are the same in the same way all cars are the "same" They have some seats an engine and get you from a to b. Just the subtleties of how fast etc.

>>17182252
> that being said, most modern watches tend to be something of a hybrid

There’s also that in-between class that is neither and really has no name. Watches like the JLC Master line are generally too big/complicated for dress watches but aren’t nearly tough enough and too classy, for lack of a better term, to be sports watches.

>>17182261
yeah, don't worry man; there's a few guys who enjoy gatekeeping this stuff, but most of the terms can be defined with a quick search on duckduckgo, and you can also find out 'when' most of them were introduced, comparing that original usage to modern trends

tl;dr fashion goes out of style but style never goes out of fashion, wear what you liek

>>17182266
good point, well made

>>17182256
The case is very large and the lugs don't curve around your wrist. It's not ergonomic in the slightest. It doesn't feel compact nor sturdy, and the design of the case is very basic. Same with the leather bracelet, it was of very poor quality.

Cope, if you must, and you will.

>>17182266
I call those “business casual “ watches. They are what I wear most days. I think they look better than a chunky dive watch and I realized I don’t care about water resistance or toughness. I wear a Garmin when doing sports. Even with stuff like hand washing, I’m careful so to not ruin the strap. 50m is more than I ever use.

>>17182131
>What was your first expensive watch?

only got into watches this last year or so and i haven't really fallen in love with anything 'expensive' enough for me to think "yep, i 'need' to drop several grand on that"
might be analysis paralysis though, because we're kinda spoilt for choice with so much beauty out there

probably just gonna have to cop a rolly dj to get over myself, yeah - y'know, something a bit entry level so as i can start branching out ?


which watches are on your rotation now after you dumped the Desert, and where did you sell it ?

>>17182315
>>only got into watches this last year or so and i haven't really fallen in love with anything 'expensive' enough for me to think "yep, i 'need' to drop several grand on that"
Have you tried any luxury watches? For some reasons brands use 3D renders that look weird af, and online pictures are never representative of the actual product imo (proportions are always somewhat wrong).
>which watches are on your rotation now after you dumped the Desert, and where did you sell it ?
I think I sold the B&R on eBay. Also I've never owned more than 1 watch at the same time.
After selling the B&R I bought a second hand IWC Portuguese. Kept it 2 years, sold it and bought an Omega Aqua Terra in 2020. Then I sold it and now I have this Rolex Explorer, my only watch. The next one will be a Baltic bronze Aquascaphe that will be delivered late august. I also have a comfy budget for a third watch but I'm still torn between a Grand Seiko SBGW283 or a JLC Reverso. Also thinking of saving a bit more and buying a second hand Rolex GMT Master II (root beer from the early 2000s).

>>17182369
>Rolex explorer
What a fucking downgrade

>>17182373
By far the best watch I've ever owned.

>>17182369
Why did you sell the AT? What were your likes/dislikes?

>>17182369
>For some reasons brands use 3D renders that look weird af, and online pictures are never representative of the actual product imo (proportions are always somewhat wrong).

yeah, i was thinking that myself the other day so i'm popping into town to check out a couple of ADs later this week

i'm also thinking a reverso would be nice just for the fun of flipping it back and forth all the time, but it would need to be a chonky boi to sit well on my chonky 7.5inch mit

>>17182373
extremely safe and boring watch

>>17182380
Reversos wear pretty large anyway and come in big sizes

>>17182378
I got tired of its design real quick. It was too contemporary for my taste.
Cool watch otherwise but not for me.

>>17182386
Fair. Which size/color? Did you find its dimensions decent or?

Is the explorer just an uglier oyster perpetual with the stupid Arabic numerals? Are there even any other differences?

>>17182390
38mm, blue dial. The dimensions were pretty good I think.
IMO the AT is a very good choice if you just plan on getting one luxury watch and be done with it. It's very versatile. It just lacks a bit of soul for me.

>>17182395
it's popular because it lets people pretend they didn't just buy the cheapest rolex from the catalog. the op is superior in every way

>>17182410
OP has timeless class

>>17182377
Most boring one too

>>17182131
Breitling aerospace probably. Nice watch but not worth the money in my opinion

>>17182395
mercedes hands

>>17182410
the explorer is the closest thing to the embodiment of early rolex branding that you can still buy, dumbass

choose.

>>17182494

>>17182494
DJ by a mile.

Same WR, same power reserve, same shock resistance, same degree of toughness, but one of them is the archetypal men's all-rounder watch and the other tells the world you either couldn't afford a Sub or your wrist was too small for a Sub.

>>17182520
the datejust looks like eye rape
the current fad for ironic eye rape won't last

>>17182492
>the explorer is the closest thing to the embodiment of early rolex branding that you can still buy, dumbass

>>17182520
>Same WR, same power reserve, same shock resistance, same degree of toughness
who the fuck cares? a mechanical watch is shit in all of these areas
the datejust looks better, thats all that matters

Black Datejust is tasteless.

>>17182494
I like the DJ only because of all the variations of it. Black dial DJ does not look good.

>>17182122
>No retarded Sproooong Drive movement and therefore, no writing on the dial either
>No date window
>Dial is not turd brown or something alike
>Somehow the power reserve is not fucking up the dial
>39 mm
>Has symmetry
>It's not boring like the other 10,000 references
Have grand seiko finally made a good watch???
Oh, wait,
>Movement still lacks proper finishing: no anglage visible and huge "Tokyo stripes" instead of more subtle, thin and refined polishing.
>It has that retardedly bad back crystal stamping, probably so normies get distracted and can't truly understand how much lacking the movement is.
When will GS learn to take better care of the finishing of its calibers?

>Seiko

>>17182595

Or when they feel like paying 30% more

>>17182529
>>17182603
le /qa/ army has arrived

>>17182606
I'd pay that 30% (well 20 is more reasonable) if it meant having a proper finished movement. An 11k watch should have better finishing on its caliber. Disappointment.

>Rolex
a watch for big bois who don't have any accomplishments in life and think buying one will count
used to be cool tools for professionals, now for bankers and rich kids who want to show off only.
good watch, bad connotation
would absolutely never try to talk to someone wearing one, this goes double for the hyped models.

>Tudor
a watch for the young adult who is "buying my first real watch"
Basically just Rolex homages made by Rolex
good watch, connotation is less bad than Rolex but still not great
May talk to someone wearing one if they don't seem autistic

>Omega
Watches for Bond fans and Moon dorks
Mostly bought by larpers and absolute nerds.
Good watch, Connotation is fine on everything but the Bond models
Would talk to someone not wearing a bond watch.

>Cartier
Watches for wine drinkers and movie snobs
"did you know muhammad ali had a cartier!?!"
Mediocre watch, Connotation is good mostly due to design
Would definitely talk to someone wearing a cartier. They probably like art and can talk about it.

>Patek Philippe
Mostly watches for very boring old guys, except the nautilus which is for very rich dumb guys
Has been the king forever and, like all kings, is fat and lazy and complacent.
Good watch, Good Connotation (except for nautilus) but less than it's reputation should deliver
Would talk to them if they aren't wearing a nautilus

>>17182637
Why are you disappointed? They don't advertise it, you're not paying for it

>>17182639

>mildly well versed in film and literature
>mildly successful in my career (which is shit)
i'm torn between a cartier santos and a rolex explorer but i'm leaning towards rolex tbqh
Planning to get one of the two when i'm 30 though so I still have time to decide

>>17182639
What do you consider the “Bond models”

>>17182643
If it's your first luxury watch you should just get the Rolex. The Santos is a really good watch and I'd take it over a lot of Rolex models, but if you don't have a Rolex yet and want one you should just bite the bullet and get it out of the way.

>>17182651
Buying a brand to get it out of the way. Sounds like a real love affair.

>>17182654
If you're seriously interested in watches, the odds of you owning a Rolex at some point is almost 100% unless you're cripplingly poor or cripplingly contrarian. It's a good product and the most popular watch brand in the world.

>>17182639
i can't believe someone wrote a somewhat objective thought out post in this god forsaken general

>>17182649
lmao, Bond, James Bond

>>17182595
The already have, look at 9SAx. The old movements are going to be phased out soon and new calibers on the basis of 9RA and 9SA will slowly replace them. A 9SA GMT is in the works and i bet a new handwinding caliber is as well. These things don't happen overnight.

>>17182595
They do, any of the newest f series movements have finishing
Stop looking at the cheap stuff and complaining thqt it looks cheap

>>17182639
Good take.

>>17182639
post watch

>>17182642
>Why are you disappointed?
Because I have tried to buy a GS two times already, but their watches keep falling below my expectations. Their external finishing is very good, no argument there, but their inner finishing is subpar for what a 8-10k dollars watch should offer.

>>17182639
Holy mother of COPE, Batman!

>>17182639

>>17182666
Which particular watch has this movement?
Also, nice trips, Satan.

>>17182696
Any of the hugh beat 80 hours watches
Starting with stuff from this line
https://www.grand-seiko.com/us-en/collections/all?collection=Evolution9

>>17182690
That's why they're 8-10k instead of $18-20k. Every watch in that price range has pretty serious compromises. I wouldn't buy a GS for their movement finishing. I wouldn't buy a JLC for their case finishing. I wouldn't buy a Rolex for their complications. The closest you can get to a watch that is good in every way at the lowest possible price would probably be some sort of Blancpain, but most of them are closer to the $14k figure than the $10k figure.

>>17182702
Very pretty watches with great movements. Ruined by the ridiculous hour hand

>>17182707
Couldn't agree more

>>17182690
That's the trade off you make. I'd be ok with the excellent external finishing I would be looking at the vast majority of the time. Nomos has anglage, but it's where you can clearly see a hard angle and the machine finishing. I'd rather have nothing tbqh. JLC isn't great in that 8-10k price either, I'm wondering what is really great in that no.mans land.

>>17182709

Jesus Christ fucking week don’t end.

Can someone explain to me what exactly do these watches actually do? They look great, but what's the functionality?

>>17182723
What do you have now? It would probably be easier to rec you something if we could get a sense of what you like.

They're all the same watch with different dials, tweaked lugs, sides, or movements.

>>17182736
I was thinking on buying a Chopard Luc 1860. I know a local collector who said he'll sell his white dial it me for 12k, but I'm rather hesitant on the size. (36.5mm)

>>17182764
It makes sense, if you're also shit

>>17182771
If I were you I would literally go to him right now and buy it.

>>17182709
why did seiko do this? It looks silly

>>17182780

>>17182781
I fucking hate this cunt

>>17182773
It's not like it is a steal, desu. I'd actually pay around the same buying online, after taxes and shipping and a new strap (which he is offering). The advantage here is that the collector is a respected member in our community and less likely to fuck me over with some hidden damage or something.
That's why when I saw the gs I thought of an alternative, but that movement is so low quality imho.

>>17182788
It's a reasonable price. The one you linked doesn't have box or papers.

>>17182795
Differet anon here. How important are box and papers if you are buying a watch used and clearly out of warranty?

>>17182788
checked

>>17182796
It really depends on the watch. If it's a brand that is often faked, they're pretty important. If you're given the choice between a watch with box/papers vs one without, it's always worth it to spend extra IMO. If you decide to sell it down the line, and there's a pretty decent chance you will, you'll more than make the money back anyway. Obviously if you never sell it then it doesn't matter as long as the watch is authentic.

>>17182788
Wow, that's beautiful.
Why buy a Rolex, Grand Seiko or Omega when you can buy this for 10k? I think I need to reevaluate my shoping goals.

>>17182771
>>17182788
Caliber is excellent too.

>>17182805

AHAHHAHAHAH

>>17182749
At least the explorer and datejust don't use the maxi case.

>>17182852
came in platinum also

>>17182726
They seem to really like putting spring drives in those. And like the other anon said the handwinding sping drives are pretty boring looking unless you get one of the masterpiece collection ones with the micro artist studio movements. They do have a nice new spring drive automatic so hopefully soon they will make a new hand winding one.
Pic related is the new sprong drove auto

>>17182848
Steel is preferable to any precious metal to be honest.

Finally got the call.

>>17182853
Great wqtch but disgusting on leather, bracelet or rolex meme rubber strap only

>>17182859
Here is the micro artist studio hand wind spring drive, this is sex but the cheapest watch with it is like 50k or more

>>17182869
I don't care if it's an ancient Japanese man doing it with chopsticks, the horizontal brushing across the whole movement will always look cheap.

>>17182871
Yeah its kind of a meme now that their new automatic spring drive movement has 7 day power reserve

Honestly, the differences are abysmal in favor of Breguet.

What a piece of shit.

>>17182932
...yeahh about that...

>>17182928
We're discussing movement decoration. This is really not the hill to die on and if you want to discuss technical excellence, well they don't compare very well to Greubel Forsey either.

>>17182918
Your grandmother knows high horology, then.

>>17182936
i am so happy you are comparing them to the best swiss manufacturers. One of the main draws Grand Seiko offers is their technical excellence. hi-beat, quartz, spring drive, mech, its all there.

>>17182932
>Not the same price rage.
Its in $9,000 watches

>>17182943
If you want to bring up a $400,000 watch then you're competing against other watches in that price range. I'm not trying to be overly antagonistic because the GS tourbillon is pretty obviously just a show-off ultra limited piece, but you're the one who brought it up in the first place.

>>17182925

>>17182949
its 350k, and all these type of pieces are show-off ultra limited pieces. grovel foreskin makes how many pieces a year? the breguet you posted was pretty disgusting also, a 850k watch also

>>17182954
Why do you keep moving the goalposts? If you sell a watch for $350k, I'm comparing you to Greubel Forsey. And guess what? The Seiko is a fucking dog in comparison.

>>17182957
im merely demonstrating what they are capable of. gruebel couldve never come up with something like springdrive. Or decimate the entire swiss watch industry.

>>17182961
>gruebel couldve never come up with something like springdrive
Yes, because Greubel Forsey doesn't make half assed technology, or hides shitty finishing under cringe lion shaped stamps.

>>17182966
the lion is cute. cute!

>>17182969
It's is cringe, desu.

>>17182925
Garbage. Someone who works in the GS design department is a Swiss plant who sabotages every single watch they release.

They seized a real Hublot?

>>17183074
indeed, deserved

>>17183074
We've never had a hublotard post here but if they did they'd be seething HARD.
TWENTY DOLLARS LMAO

Truly, I am ready

Reminder that modern vikings wear vintage Omegas.

2 $300 wedding bands? $10k
a $500 two tone day date? $15k
Getting the verbal confirmation? Priceless.

Does any other company make watches with built in storage like the databank from casio or are they the only ones ???

This is so fucking cool.

>>17183124

is that a one-second timer function?

>>17183054
nothing screams insecurity more than buying a replica watch

Which brand?

I really want this derek pratt watch.
...I mean, yeah, it would probably cost a few hundred thousand at auction, but still.

Need a starter watch. Going to begin a job in finance soon.

>>17183128
It's measures lapses up to a 1/10th of a second. There's also a hand that measures full seconds, and another up to 30 minutes.

>>17183149
Rolex

>>17183149

>>17183149
Just go to the Omega store and get something

>>17183149

>>17183171
I don't think I'll ever be able to take Citizen that seriously

Kinda like it actually

For me it's the Garmin Fenix 7. If your watch can't take a beating it's a piece of crap.

>>17183180
Not bad. I'd wear one while time traveling, hunting space robots.

>>17183162

Should I inject 100g of silicon into my wrists?

>>17183204
no

>>17183204
>>17183210
Don't listen to that guy, anon, he's trying to deprive you of the joy of silicon wrist injections

>>17183224
no i meant 200g

sapphire cases for normal looking watches look like complete dogshit

>>17183171
that chicken does it no favours

>>17183204
Yes. Hopefully, you'll then be able to wear male watches.

n-no way its gonna be a fake right?

>>17183246

Stop being mean its look cool

>>17183258
you forgot to write your reply with the selfie
>>17183266
I'm not mean, it looks like plastic, swatch tier
at least those bubble sapphire cases do it for a reason

is there any spring drive with a steel bracelet and no date window?

Can you identify this guy's watch please? I assume it's something like a Suunto?

>>17183287
Can't really get a good screenshot, you might be able to figure it out better in motion.

>>17182759
Try again

I wanna add a Moonphase to my collection and I was looking at uniques. Thoughts on this CW?

Should I get a 1999 Sub or 2022 OP41? Same price btw.

>>17183301
'99 Sub. Can't go wrong.

>>17183301
Both are meh.
OP41 looks ridiculously large for a basic 3 hands.
1999 Sub will have hollow endlinks so that sucks.
I would get the Sub though.

>>17183302
>>17183304
Was thinking the same. Any idea which year they stopped using hollow links?

>>17183022
People definitely love gold-tone watches on others.
I do not know how I can come back to SS watches from my snk366. It is so charming.

>>17183305
Early 2000s. Maybe 2002 or 2003.

>>17182494

>>17183522
Shit piss fuck I forgot the picture.

Get this instead.

Cartier should re-release this design of the Santos Dumont.
The screws on the current model are anything but classy.

>>17183535

>>17183208
imagine having safe sex

>>17183537
Hang on babe lemme put the watch condom on so I won’t damage the finish on the bezel

>>17183536
Also wish Rolex would remade the King Midas.
Such a kino watch.

>>17183541

>>17182639
> random hello kitty plastic watch
the guy who actually needs to see the time

>>17183208
wtf? yacht and sub are literally the same watch?

>>17183564
The ym is thinner, the bezel rotates both ways, it’s less water resistance and more blingy and fashion oriented.

They price watches closer to the real value

>>17183610
probably this

I want to get my groomsmen engraved watches, but I don’t want them to remember me forever when they look at a shitter. Any good reputable brands that do engraving and wouldn’t kill my wallet when I buy six of them?

>>17183623
Laco

>>17183623
nah they wont charge you much
but they'll engrave it on 6 reps and you wont even know

>>17183627
>>17183632
I’m not worried about the cost of engraving as much as the watches themselves. I would love to be able to get them each a Laco Pilot watch, but I am not a man of means. If I could engrave an F91-w I would in a heartbeat.
I guess Timex fits my budget better. But could I do better than that around the same price range?

>>17183645
yknow engraving isn't just done by watchmakers? you can get literally any 6 watches you want and get them engraved afterwards

it's kino

>>17183649
Fair enough.

>>17183645
>>17183623
This whole thing is a huge waste of money. Your groomsmen won't like the watches as much as they cost you, no matter what. If you were some shiek you'd get a bunch of gold datejusts and that'd be kino but people still wouldn't appreciate them as much as they cost you.

Meanwhile you're distracted from what's far more important than your wedding- your marriage. The more you spend on the wedding the more likely your marriage is shit and falls apart in 3-10 years. Hopefully you picked a good woman.

Shit picture. Wish my ad had one in stock when I visited, I was looking forward to seeing it in person.

>>17183650
Gold on an explorer looks so out of place

>>17183650
I’m hating this less and less over time but I still think it looks worse than the all steel version.

>>17183685
Thanks anon. At least I’m not getting them wooden watches.

>>17183623
Nope. Just get them cufflinks.

>>17183124
I love Hublot.

>>17183699
It looks weird at first but then it grows on you.

>>17183728
No it looks like shit. The explorer already looks like shit, making it 2 tone makes it worse. I never liked the explorer but atleast it was the only watch in Rolex' catalog that still kept it's true toolwatch aesthetic. A rough and tumble watch like the explorer shouldn't have soft metals like gold on it.

>>17183740
>A rough and tumble watch like the explorer shouldn't have soft metals like gold on it.
The Submariner and Sea Dweller have two tone (or even full gold) versions. It doesnt make more sense but Rolesor is a typical Rolex signature. All that matters is it looks good and the two tone Explorer is a beauty.
