why is no one talking about universal geneve?
the 37.5mm uni-compax is literally the perfect watch

thoughts on the milanese bracelet vs. a leather strap for the max bill?

>>17326603
>why is no one talking about universal geneve?
Because they haven't been a functional brand in nearly 40 years.

>>17326608

>>17326611
and their 50s uni-compax, tri-compax, and polerouter are among the best vintage watches out there

>>17326608
>>17326613

Yeah or nah

Got myself a new siko alpinist and wanted to buy the complementary bracelet but it cost over 200€ and is almost half the price of the watch.

I think I'm better of buying a new watch. Any recommendations for a quartz watch in the 200-400 price range? I like the look of the vintage King Quartz/Type II Seikos but I would prefer a new watch over a used one.

>>17326581
>no running seconds
How do you know the watch is running?

>>17326626
It’s fine. Certainly nothing to write home about.
When you buy something like this, you’re paying for the brand and the reputation. You’re not paying for beauty.

>>17326627
Forgot pic related.

>>17326626
Yes, you really don't need anything else. Buy it and forget about watches forever.

>>17326603
They're nice, i love the Polerouter.

>>17326627
Put the money on the side and save up for a GS.

>>17326603
>why is no one talking about universal geneve?
They are deader than the renaissance, desu.

>>17326638
im trying to talk about the color
>>17326636
whats your opinion about the color?

>>17326651
It’s heavily out of fashion, like the body of a 2003 mercedes
doesn’t make it a bad watch

>>17326651
>color
Yeah, that's yellow pee
Enjoy

>>17326651
>trying to talk about watches in this thread
you tried

Bought this just today. I have been eyeing it for a while, and can’t wait for it to arrive. I like the Tiffany & Co CT60 a lot, but their Atlas watch really nails the simple look.

Is this the safe? What kind of thief makes a hole on top AND removes the door off a safe?

Am I a retard for thinking this is kind of cool looking even if it is a 25 dollar quartz shitter?

>>17326699
Probably, yes. I think it's nasty, and not in a good sense.

>>17326637
Good choice. I like the look of this one and these hands much more than the one with the bulbous hour hand.

>>17326697
Given if that is his safe, he is an absolute moron for parading his safe on a video if he did. Given what people have said about his stuff not being insured, reinforces the idea that is an idiot.

I dont waste my time watching his videos, but if I had my guess, he showed the safe in his videos. Which is why/how they knew exactly where to damage the safe to get in.

>>17326637
>not a sarb017

>>17326717
Some anon said he showed/said that he keeps the collection at home and exhibited his watches in his videos often.

>>17326729
disgusting

>>17326734
I'll kiss your neck you son of a bitch

>>17326795
Why do poorfags even TRY showing off their absolute shitter collections?

>>17326797
Probably because they make you seethe.

What's your opinion on the Seiko Solar watch? Was thinking about getting one myself.

>>17326807
Meant >>17326795

Gonna go buy the Bulova Lunar pilot to enjoy while I wait for my Rolex.

>>17326809
I like it, looks more expensive than it is, cool unique look, sapphire glass, solar powered, the face change colors with sun/light exposure, everything you need in a watch

Non time no-frenz go in time out

Such is the glorious life of /wt/

>>17326697
That’s because the door didn’t immediately come off so they drilled a hole in the top and removed the door that way.

>>17326903
How do you remove the door from the inside? Why go to the trouble of removing them anyway if you already have access to the insides?

>>17326894
>Rolex only sassypants downright have the locks changed on them
Is there a watch with a lock out there?

>>17326914
I’m just repeating what Fatso said in the video. The whole thing is fishy and it wouldn’t surprise me if he faked this to drum up attention to his channel.

>>17326924
It is fishy indeed. Is Archie a Jew?

>>17326928
Well he’s fat as fuck, repulsive and wouldn’t look out of place among Ms blowchinski’s children.

Never watched a single one of his videos and he seems like a fat soft cunt but it’s hard not to feel bad for someone who lost something they cared about so much.

Imagine coming to GS with a SNKL23 and asking them to do it from scratch. Same case but Zaratsu polished, same dial but made from Urushi enamel, same hands but made to GS standard, same movement (yes, 7S26) but made and finished by GS. You could call it the Grand Seiko 5.

>>17327028

if there a watch or a bracelet I can wear on my wrist that will periodically buzz?
No beeping or loud noise, just a vibration reminder every so often. Thanks anons

Anons, when does a watch becomes ridiculous larp of a neo peasant? I make around 6k a month in my country's currency. I am eyeing a simple cartier tank or Santos, both of wich cost about 18-20k in the same currency. Is is too distasteful to wear such pieces as a late 20s middle middle class who grew up in a working class family?

>>17327811

>>17327824
If you're making $6k a month and wearing a $20k watch you're just going to look like you live with mommy and daddy and don't pay them rent or contribute in any way to the household finances. Not quite a parasite NEET but not much better either.

I haven't done to much research on the subject but theoretically every Android or Apple watch should work as long as you combine it with the right application on your phone that pushes notifications to the watch.

Here is one App that i found after a quick Google search. https://www.tiimoapp.com/

If you're looking for smart watches you're better of asking around on /g/. I have no personal experience with smart watches.

>>17328111
Oh, not him but to chip in the gen 7 Apple Watch can do this for sure with mindfulness reminders. I believe the se is also capable of this.

>>17328106
Gorgeous 35mm GP that doesn't ring, but buzzes, I think.

>>17328113
>>17328111
thanks anons, I will check it out, is the SE comfortable? It looks a bit thick, but apparently you can set the haptic to prominent or whatever that means, I wonder how strong it is. I should see if you can make it buzz in intervals.

>>17328118
Oh, and you can find it for around one thousand dollarinos.

>>17328119
The se was my ex wife’s, but it was similar in dimensions to my gen 7. I’d say they’re both comfortable and light watches. You can always swap out the stock straps with a variety of aftermarket options which can greatly increase your comfort

>>17328090
You're welcome, my friend.
