I'm hovering over the buy now button with this - I think I love it. Its al cluttered and busy but it works. Opinions?

>>17245626
It's a little odd but it's not something I care about for this watch in particular.

>>17245629
In any case it looks good, enjoy wearing it, anon.

>>17245627
It's a solid watch, you can't go wrong with it.

Can you poorfags just fuck off?

>>17245664

>>17245649
Oh no, Rolex can't be part of the club of watchmakers that give you a 15% discount even if you don't ask.
So frustrating.

>>17245615
both of those watches are incredibly based

>>17245675
patek gives 15% discounts? where?

>>17245698
give me the dial texture and color of the Lange in the VC and it would be perfect. The Lange itself is pretty cool, but I don't like that it's asymmetrical on the crown side

When are the markets tanking so that I can buy an Air King for 2,5 k?

>>17245706
the VC dial is way nicer looking, one of the best blue dials on the market. my problem with the VC is the stupid date window and the lack of AR coating on the glass.

>>17245711
oh yeah, and the non-hacking seconds. but beyond that the overseas is probably my favorite steel sports watch.

>>17245711
>one of the best blue dials on the market
I agree, there is something about it that makes it look so rich and full.

>>17245622
ming is a crazy persojn

>>17245615
Nautilus and Royal Oak still have better dials and bracelets but those two have better movements.

>>17245724
when you see it in person it looks like it has endless depth and you could stare into it forever. crazy stuff, i can’t imagine what it would be like if vacheron made a whole line of multicolored overseas and not just black, silver and blue.

>>17245737
the nautilus and royal oak are more iconic but the royal oak is way too industrial and brutalist while the nautilus also suffers from an ugly date window and, while more elegant than the royal oak, is still more awkward and clumsy than the overseas or the odysseus.

>>17245733
For me it's the Blank Pane Fifty Fat Ones Bath Escape

>>17245733

This thing is a classic from the early days.
You would wear this while watching TTGL, code grass, FMA brotherhood and yugioh 5Ds.
Then you'd hop online and make fun of SKX owners for being stuck with a mineral crystal and shitty movement.
Take me back

>iconic
>looks incredibly cool
>cool complication
And most importantly
>it's a Rolex
Honestly, THIS is the best watch ever made. It mogs every other watches in existence.
The Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi is basically to watches what the Mercedes 300SL is to cars, Fender Stratocasters to guitars or Leica M11 to cameras. This is the real deal. Everything made before it became irrelevant and everything made after it is pointless. This is the watch that put an end to watchmaking.

what watch designs are we going to think will look dated in 10-20 years

>>17245785
whenever nomos strays from the basic bauhaus designs, their watches look like straight web 2.0 designs

>>17245784
Nice bait

>>17245785
You know how every SUVs look the same, whether you go to Hyundai, Ford or BMW?
It's the same for stainless steel casual sports watches. Basically every JLC Polaris/Master Control, Omega Seamaster/Constellation, Zenith Defy, Blancpain whatever, Glashutte Original my ass, Longines nigger, Tissot gay faggot, etc. Watches that look like they were designed in Blender by an AI based on what's popular on Reddit in the 2020s.
These are the watches that will look dated in 10-20 years (they already do).
This is an extremely unpopular opinion here, look at all the (You)s I got.

>stainless steel casual sports watch
????????? The Constellation is not a sports watch

>>17245807
Also the Constellation line arguably has one of the most unique designs in its price category. The integrated bracelet design on the Manhattan Constellations is iconic.

>>17245807
Idiot.

I like the ceremony of buying a nice watch.
Going into the store, having a nice civilized chat with the dealer. Getting offered a drink.
So much more civilized than buying shit off schlomo24 like you’re ordering toilet paper off amazon.

this, part of the pricetag with luxury goods is the buying experience. walking into a beautifully furnished store, having a professional tailor service to you and set everything up for you; if that’s taken out of the equation then you’re suddenly getting a lot less for your dollar.

>>17246111
Couldn't afford an Oceanus?

>>17246135
No.

the SKX is so fucking good. no idea why they discontinued it. in fact you even have articles online discouraging people from buying the remaining watches out there. there must be some sort of conspiracy.

A jeweler (watches) in my city is doing a sales because he's quitting.
It's mostly Rodania, Raymond Weil, Candino and Lotus. 50% off.

How do I make a quick buck from this as a chosenite?

>>17246134
Is part of the buying experience also buying dead stock high margin women's watches? I agree with you in theory but the reality is a lot more grim. You’re not getting a Nautilus or Aquanaut from a boutique without having spent hundreds of thousands or millions. That’s just a fact. Nothing civilized or luxurious about it.

>>17246142
No conspiracy, it costs too much second hand now for something that neither hacks nor handwinds and there’s plenty of NH35 SKX clones from China on the market that will accept all the mods the SKX has. Or you can buy the also NH35 based (or whatever the Seiko number is) in a “5KX” Seiko 5 which loses its divers watch status in exchange for the more modern movement, but don’t buy that because it’s shite.

Guys, I got in to a watchmaking school

>>17246281
There are a few Rolexes I like and would buy but not many. It’s a fine brand, just not anywhere near my favorite. Their quality is really good too. I like grand seiko a lot more l, especially the ones with textured dials. I slept on seiko for a long time but goddam some of those grand seikos are beautiful looking.

>>17246592
Im still not sold on the ones like your pic which have glass dials with the indices mounted to them that have a piece of paper behind them

>>17246598
>glass dials with the indices mounted to them that have a piece of paper behind them
Is that how it's done? I thought it was just a thin layer of resin on top.

>>17246597
What I like about Rolex is they have 36mm watch choices. It's almost like I have few options but a Rolex, unfortunately.

>>17246600
Im preety sure its glass, it at least was on the first batches of the ones with the ±1 second per year movement

>>17246602
Yeah rolex offering 36mm watches is a huge plus for them. They have done a great job giving their 36mm watches modern proportions while still keeping the smaller overall size. Thry also deserve a bunch of credit for the 37mm yachtmaster and the fact that they still make a 34mm OP

>>17246563
Would be really nice if there wasnt the polska eagle on it. Makes it look super weird imo.

>>17246563
All Japanese brands are just poorfag cope for Rolex.

>>17246617
I'll buy this before a rolex

>>17246627
I would never buy that now that they have released a significantly better high beat movement with actual finishing on it, unfortunately they have only used the new movement's in these bloated abominations so far

They're not a limited edition or anything
I could always pick one up used

>>17246678
Oh i thought those were a limited run of a few hundred, im probably wrong

>>17246684
Surprisingly not. They were a us only thing, but recently were made available worldwide. The two new little 44s were a Europe only thing, but recently migrated over to the US. I'm not sure how they decide which market is best for which models.

>>17246563
oh, that's a surprise

very nice

>>17246692
>They were a us only thing, but recently were made available worldwide.
Yes, after the success in the us they decided to make them regular models.

>>17245675
>he pays full MSRP

Do any of you actually buy or daily fakes? Not just of Rolex but of anything. Are you not concerned that the time keeping on them is trash?

>>17246781
I sometimes wear a fake omega a family member gsve to me, it uses an elabore grade eta 2824. Its within a few seconds a day, more accurate than my seiko nh35 watches. I can't understand why people would buy fakes with those fraken fake movements made out of miyota 9015s with a fake plate on top or the "super clone" rolex movements, those are all totall dogshit.
I also wouldn't buy a fake, i only took it because it was free

>>17246799
I got a fake Omega myself from a Chinese stall at some local market. $40 and it's amazingly accurate, the quality on the bezel isn't great but it's fine if you don't let someone examine it.

Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to.

Since I might not be posting for a while after this week: I finally did it, I've been thinking about this watch since 2016. My 5 other anuses kept me from buying it, but I just can't resist these prices.
Most likely my last purchase for a long time (I hope).

hey guys, where can i get some cheap deployant clasps that are at least decent (as in, they close properly all the way and don't pop open randomly)?

Guys.. two weeks ago you said there would be a GLOOOOBAL recession and Rolex owners would be on the street begging for a sale of even a sandwich. And that Republicans would be +20 points and Rolexchads and Rolex ADs would be poor.. WTF happened!?

Thoughts on roman numeral watches? Are they too tacky? Feels like something that's only wearable in very specific situations, like some formal gathering.

I’ve never been anything less than satisfied with mine but I would prefer the bands be a nicer quality leather, they’re a bit prone to getting scrapped and scuffed up but if you like a band that carries wear well it’s not an issue.

>>17247491
>but I would prefer the bands be a nicer quality leather, they’re a bit prone to getting scrapped and scuffed up but...

oh, that's interesting; and sort of in keeping with their design language which aims at reproducing that classic flyer look

hey man, if you're really facing your mortality it would be a good time to ponder the reality of Christ rising from the tomb, and your response to His demand on your life that you repent and believe

what kind of jobs do you guys have to wear all these fancy watches? i just wear a gshock because i'm afraid of scratching up my watch while working on server racks

>>17247598

Most people here are poors that can barely scrap together the $15k to buy the Rolex or whatever.. most people can't budget or reason for shit

>>17247604
Most people find better things to spend their money on than luxury trinkets. Rationalizing watch purchases is stupid, just accept that it's a poor use of money but you buy it because you want it, which is what luxury really is about.

>>17247604
There’s very little reason involved in a luxury watch purchase.

>>17247598
I’m a commercial pilot, I have four watches I wear regularly ranging from $700 - $3200, most anons posting watches in the $10k+ range are larpers.

>>17247627
larping as what exactly? i dont think anyone here gives a shit about actually being a pilot or a diver.

>>17245724
looks like a $120 Nixon

>>17247640
have you ever thought about investing in a pair of glasses?

>>17247636
larping as ultra wealthy, wasn’t referring to careers or usage of watches.

>>17247647
almost no one who buys 5 and 6 figure watches is actually ultra wealthy, it’s just a very expensive niche hobby.

I just want a chronograph I don’t have to worry about washing my hands with

>>17247598

Business Analyst.

This is my only luxury watch though. The rest are consumer.

>>17247598
My job is mainly a desk job and I still only wear G-Shocks. Just walking around my apartment I bump my watch into stuff all the time. Every time I bump my watch against something I think to myself "this is why I can't have a mechanical watch".

>>17247652
awful take, if you have a six figure watch you are ultra wealthy in comparison to an average person, that’s hardly debatable, I doubt there’s more than max 1 or 2 anons in /wg/ that genuinely own a six figure watch. low five figure is probably a lot more common but I’d say a majority of anons claiming to own a watch in this price range are larps.

For me, it's the Aquascaphe GMT

>>17247663
>if you have a six figure watch you are ultra wealthy in comparison to an average person
if you want something really badly then forgoing a few nice things for a couple years is enough to scrape together the funds for a watch in the low 6 figures. the same is true on a much lesser scale for the low 5 figures, i honestly don’t know why you think anyone would need to LARP about owning something you could easily get by being frugal for a couple months.

>>17247669
Ah I get it now, your posts are retarded because you’re not getting proper nutrition while you live off rice and beans to afford a watch.

Y'all are sissies
I wear my shitter to work all the time

>>17247673
im sorry you have to project your minimum wage salary onto everyone else to sleep at night.

>>17247669
>>17247675
>forgoing a few nice things for a couple years is enough to scrape together the funds for a watch in the low 6 figures
this is not at all realistic for the average person. most people could save every penny they earn for a couple years and still not afford a watch in the low six figures. you’re either wealthy and delusional or autistically upset nobody believes you genuinely own a six figure watch on /wg/.

>>17247678
i don’t own a 6 figure watch and i have no plans to. someone who owns one is probably relatively well off, but hardly “ultra wealthy”; not every haute horology collector is kevin o leary.

>>17247669
I get what you're saying anon, but if it's a matter of being frugal for a couple of years to buy a $100k watch, then those people would probably invest that money in a home or something more useful

>>17247682
that’s why i said if you really want something. if you are retarded enough to forgo a house or a new car for a fashion accessory (and there are watch people who are stupid enough to do this) then you could absolutely afford a low 6 figure watch.

>>17247680
perhaps ultra wealthy wasn’t the best choice of words, you do not need to be ultra wealthy to afford a luxury watch but it is how most people that larp as high luxury watch owners want to be viewed.

>>17247682
Or just not spend it on a watch because they know how hard it was to save up, and a watch isn't worth it. I made a goal of saving 30k in cash this year. I probably won't reach it, 27-28 sure, but idk about 30. Am I going to spend it on a nice watch? Fuck no. I would buy a nice 4-6ish one maybe next year if I hit a new goal, but going out and spending 18k or something on a really nice piece just isn't worth it for me, I'm not wealthy. The money means more to me even if I could pay cash and it would not "hurt" me.

>>17247686
as I said, I know what you mean. Maybe a month ago I said that the average guy can afford a Rolex if he really wants one, for example by skipping a few vacations, and the anons here were mad

>>17247687
i won’t argue with that, most people who chase flex watches likely do it for that exact reason and not because they actually care about the watch itself.

>>17247695
if it weren’t for the current artificial scarcity then almost anyone with a stable income could afford a simple datejust or oyster with a couple months or less of saving, they’re seriously not that expensive.

>>17247598
Commercial real estate. I’m not ultra wealthy. I wouldn’t even call myself rich. I’m well off though with a good car, house paid off and a good chunk in investments. I’ve also been into watches for 10+ years and might buy something every 3-4 years at most. My only hobby that costs something is fly fishing which is expensive, but nothing compared to a watch.

I really like the dial and bezel. The bracelet, case shape and lugs don’t do it for me though.

>>17247664
Cheap jubilee style bracelets never look good. Even expensive ones look bad a lot of the time.

>>17247809
Yup, it would look 100% better with an oyster bracelet.
I get why they're doing something different, but it's really not appropriate.

Just got my first ever automatic diver watch. Is there a way to know if the crown is screwed all the way so no water can get in, or is it just basically tightening as hard as you can and saying, "alright, seems tight enough"?

>>17247987
Gentle hand tightening, no need to wrench on in just turn it till it stops freely spinning. Really, be gentle

>>17247993
Wait really? Went tight as hard as I can. Can this thing break or something?

>>17248018
a screw down crown uses very small metal threads to function as screw. what do you think will happen when you using excessive force on them repeatedly over a long period of time?

>>17248025
Ah alright, ty. Was just overly worried about potential water damage.

>>17247640
