Can you imagine how sad people's lives are that they have to save up for something like that, it makes me wonder why they would even continue living, do they not get that life is not worth it if you're not a fully formed human who can experience all the world has to offer? It's like, imagine you're actually doing physical or mental labor to afford a Toyota or some shit, do they not get they're not real people? On one hand I hope they don't because it would be sad if they could reflect on their "lives" and that's all they had to hope for so they had to cope themselves into accepting it, on the other hand I hope they do because maybe they can improve after a few generations?

inshallah, i have decided on my next two watches and by allah i will find a way to own them both in the next decade

All this needed was "buy a Rolex" at the end and it would be complete.

>>17350006
Rolex is just the default watch for, sorry to offend you, "real" people, it's like a G-Shock, something you buy as a safe option that you can do anything with and it's no big deal.

>>17350011
>the most pleb and NPC watch brand in the world is the "real people" brand
OK, now this is starting to get good.

>>17350011
>Rolex is just the default watch for, sorry to offend you, "real" people
fucking kek

>>17350014
>>>the most pleb and NPC watch brand in the world
I literally just said exactly that but in words that you didn't understand.

>>17349995
To you, what does it mean to "save up"? What must the person's finances be like? No savings at all? Paycheck to paycheck, but wearing a $3500 watch?

To me all it means is they pay attention to their spending, like this summer I was about to buy a nice watch, I had my local jeweler's business card and we were negotiating by text, and then I was asked if I wanted to go in on a vacation experience with some old friends, needless to say I value experiences more than watches, so I did that, and that pretty much ate my entire watch budget and then some.

I have a mortgage, about 1/3 equity and 2/3 debt at low interest, I have some savings, some 401k, some money in a brokerage account, I rarely scratch more than 3% of my card limits, but I still "save up" for watches, I'm pretty close to my next watch purchase in fact, but a new set of Dura-Ace wheels is looking pretty fucking tempting right now, who knows which will win? It's a surprise!

Would you say I have a sad life for saving up for watches? I think some might, I'm just curious what kind of situation you're picturing when you write a post like that.

>when the Rolex poster appears

>>17350023
>Would you say I have a sad life for saving up for watches?
Yes, if you're making purchases that you have to consciously think about (and they're not business-related like opening another branch on a different continent and such) then there's just something profoundly sad about your irrelevant life, it's like have you ever taken a walk through an Indian city on Youtube, check out something like Varanasi or Kolkata, they have millions of people just acting like cattle performing the most basic life-sustaining functions, it's a tragedy on a scale that's hard to comprehend, not a single one of those people will ever live a real life (unless they reincarnate lol).

So what's up with the Nomos hate in these threads? I know they're considered ugly but that doesn't seem to dissuade anyone when it comes to breitligs, or steinharts, or any other fugly pieces of shit, but nomos consistently meets autistic screeching why?

>>17350036
>most models are under 3k
I can't imagine why.

>>17350036
them being outspoken homosexuals surely doesn’t help

>>17350035
I see, so it's a relative wealth thing? There's probably someone whose level of power and wealth stands in the same relation to your master of the universe business-related thoughts as yours stand in relation to my NPC thoughts. At the end of the day, pretty much all of us have limits on what we can use our money to cause things to happen.

>>17350038
I don't understand this, can you rephrase?

>>17350040
Do you mean literally homosexuals? Pic represents my feelings as a homosexual. Where can I read up on this?

>>17350035
Ironic considering you called the Rolex a Toyota and said it was a "safe option". That doesn't sound like something a non-budget conscious person would care about.

>>17350036
>So what's up with the Nomos hate in these threads?
They made some statement about being anti-racist or something like that and a /pol/tard flipped his shit. Then everyone else started memeing.

>>17350046
There is a baseline though, and it's very clearly defined. I'm just trying to explain this to poor people with the Indian example, since those people are below everyone in a first world country.

>>17350003
fpbp

>>17350051
I see, I'm liking them more and more now

>>17350052
I'm not sure what you mean by baseline, baseline of what? And can you define it, since it's so clear?

I am going to purchase a
- Tudor Pelagos 39
- Cartier Tank Must

Then I will be done buying watches for the rest of my life.

>>17350036
Nomos is very outspoken politically and some people don't like that. They have so much contempt for working class germans that they make their factory employees all take yearly clases about why racism is bad and how to recognize the signs of right wing radicalization. They donate a lot of money to globalist NGOs and gay related lobbying groups.
Many watch brands choose to avoid social commentary or just do the kind of standard bare minimum performative wokeness but nomos is front and center in their political activism and it rubs people the wrong way.

>>17350055
Baseline of being a real human being. In watch terms, it's treating Rolex like poor people treat a G-Shock.

>>17350055
The baseline being "this is the peak of luxury" or that you've made it. It's the brand every Saudi or Chink wears.

>>17350058
>not buying a Rolex
Poorfag, you are not even human.

>>17350051
>and a /pol/tard flipped his shit.
lmao it was probably this guy >>17350061

>>17350061
I'm completely oblivious to this, you have any links? It all sounds pretty great to me, I was about to buy a Grand Seiko but I'm thinking Nomos would be a pretty good choice

>>17350062
>>17350063
This is all extremely vague to the point of sounding like a schizobabble post from /pol/, I feel like you're about to now talk about "western civilization" and some jordan petersen pseud shit

>>17350078
You're getting trolled retard. Are you new?

>>17350063
>It's the brand every Saudi or Chink wears.
Exactly, if you're from countries that understand socioeconomic stratification it's perfectly normal to buy a Rolex as your everyday watch, there's just something about Western countries that fucked people's minds up, probably communism or French revolution, where they think the "masses" are actually relevant in any way shape or form and should be considered real people with thoughts, feelings, dreams, aspirations, intellectual capability and so on, which is why I think my Indian example is really good, please look up any walk through Kolkata on Youtube and tell me if any person on the street seems like someone you would talk to about anything, like are you going to discuss Sartre or Milton with them, are you going to ask them for advice on your crypto investments, are you going to bring them into the family for mutual profit, no, you will just see street dogs that if they were self aware would beg you to put them down for their own good.

>>17350078
Rolex posting brings out some true autism. Even posting about something like a Patek Philippe or Audemars Piguet will still get the "buy a rolex/poorfag" meme response.

>>17350078
>buying watches to make poltards seeth
Your brain is broken

>>17350083
New to /fa/? No but I don't spend a lot of time here, this board more than most reminds me that I'm mostly talking to actual children. Used to spend a lot of time here back when casemods and blah posted a lot, remember them?

What am I getting trolled about though, the guy who thinks he's a nietzschean ubermensch, or the anti-nomos person? Or is it the same person?

>>17350086
Yeah I saw some of that last time I came here

>>17350090
Nah I'm pretty sure it's functioning normally

>>17350090
he already said he’s a fag, you don’t have to repeat it again

>>17350095
You have to just overlook that shit. At the end of the day, just buy what you want and enjoy it.

>>17349943
Why do you want to sell your Speedy? Bored, tired of biger tool watches, need the cash?

>>17350095
you have been trying to have a serious conversation with the threads resident shitposter for the last hour, you might be retarded

>>17350058
Hey were you the guy I shilled a tudor and cartier to in the last thread?

>>17350105
It's still my favorite "tool" watch and has a lot of sentimental value to me, but I'm really enjoying smaller watches more than bigger ones. I'll probably end up keeping it but if something comes up I might trade it in.

>>17350120
Not him but I'm gonna follow your advice, already have a ga2100 and that's it.

>>17350046
Well right, so don't waste your energy and resources on squeezing your nuts hard while hurting your financial future. Poorfags scrimp and save to get some pricey but not that pricey watch to claim they're well off, but that's a shitty thing that doesn't even work.

It's like working hard to buy a mid-range Benz. Like there are literal pajeets who dream of one day driving a Mercedes and frame posters on their mud huts and safe every day for one thinking they'll be special too and part of some special club of people who matter. And it just doesn't fucking matter. It's so completely ordinary, halfway someone well off sees a quarter of their company's lot full of them.

picrel is the greatest and best watch ever
all else is cope

>>17350131
hold on to it for now because selling watches in this predatory market is a bad idea

>>17350139
Based

someone rec me a slightly gaudy replica watch around $50 to go with sweat pants, a gold chain, and a white wifebeater

>>17350149
You could get a gold Invicta or a fake Rolex for about $50.

>>17350153
now I know a fake rolex at $50 will be ass but w2c anyway?

>>17350154
Etsy maybe. I got my shitty fakes from local markets in my city, they can take a serious beating in spite of being so cheap.

CHEWWWWWWWWWWW-DAH

>>17350147
What is predatory about this market? Isn’t it a great time for sellers because of Covid supply chains and inflation?

>>17350210
There's a glut of watches on the market now from people panicking over the recession, more saturation in popular watches like Subs and Speedys end up driving the price down after the initial wave.

>>17350201
It's pronounced pretty much exactly the same as the word tutor.

>>17350210

The bezel to dial ratio just looks off to me.

What watch is this

Call me crazy, but I really wish Timex would start making these again. I know they still make the Ironman line, but they don't have the same look.

>>17350131

Yeah, I could understand since you grew up in India or whatever you probably want to forget it. Like I’ve never even considered watching anything about India.

>>17350383
Good luck discussing anything on here that isn't Rolex or Casio.

>>17350383
>yellow hands

>minute track

>>17350404
GOLD hands, you blind retard.
And what's wrong with subseconds?

>>17350383
It's a decent watch, i think that's the Urushi lacquered dial, a special technique using some japanese tree sap.

>>17350410
Gold is yellow.
Sub-seconds and minute track on what I assume is a dressy watch looks weird.

>>17350393
Not much to say to be honest. The secret to Seiko's success is using the same like four movements in every watch and just making a very large variety of dials so everybody can find something that they like. That specific one is the SARX029, a JDM-only Presage model, same movement as pretty much every 3-hander with a date that they make (6R15), should be able to get it for like $650-700.

>>17350412
>urushi dial

>>17350417
For me is an everyday watch.

>>17350427

What does Fransuapol have to do with urushi?

>>17350444
Journe is the absolut master of lacquered dials. Others can't even challenge.

>>17350201
I always thought they should be pronounced like the British nobles

>>17350459
100k or so

>>17350459

It's a black label so maybe more. Only the CB is a more coveted dial

No idea, i saved this pic years ago.

Hamilton, recreate this pocket watch dial in a sensible size (<38mm) thanks.

>>17350253
I agree, they look fantastic, awesome digital watches and the new ones aren't the same, they are to big and bulky

>>17350476
Now that's one you don't see everyday
Is that a seiko brightz model?

>>17350512
Thought that was a Swatch from the thumbnail kek.

>>17350511
I'm 40. If you want to hook me with nostalgia, it's an Ironman Triathlon with Indiglo, or a chunky and shiny Fossil watch. But I would actually wear the Ironman today.

>>17350253
I'm sure they make some with a similar look, maybe i'm wrong though. I watch this guy who goes to visit walmart and checks the sales sections on watches and there are a lot of timex with this design, with the orange font? maybe not, but still the same shape case and everything.

>>17350515
I don't think so, it's some Presage, basically a chrono version of >>17350383

>>17350582
Like so?

>>17350596
Not quite...almost there, but just lay the bottom of the tower over the left side of the watch and the tip over the watches crown.

>>17350315
I like this one, the hands on the subdials look like little boats & it reminds me of playing the battleships board game with my mom as a kid back when she still had moments of being sane

I wanted the least legible 2100

I thought I made up my mind to get a GS due to my nice lineup of modern and vintage Seiko but all this talk of gay SJW Nomos is making me want a Nomos again, I thought it was just a phase.

Wat do effay? Should I diversify my collection? Any other Homos lovers in here?

To be honest the one thing that bugs me about them is the lack of AR on the glass, in fact handling one in person was what drove me to consider GS. Up to then I was fully committed to going Homos.

Pic I guess Tangente-ally related.

>>17350131
couldn't afford a rolex?

>>17350693
When you're done being railed by your bf try de-inserting your fist from xis anus and just get the Nomos.
Don't worry about it matching your purse.
No one will care.
They'll just see another bland fashion watch worn by people with personalities resembling Kraft Singles.
But you'll be good because you'll think the colors make you happy or peppy or something.
Keep doing that.
Consume a little harder and you might be happy.
For a time.

>>17350738
Ok but what about the AR coating though? Also I find it funny that you think women or men match their watch to their purse. That's like "match your pocket square to your tie and cuff links" level of cringe, yikes!

>>17350741
You're the one buying the Nomos.
No one will care about the AR coating on your bland fashion watch.
Unless it matches your i-Phone.

>>17350749
Your opinions are boring despite trying very hard to be edgy, NEXT

Ah yes I forgot one of the things that drove me away was the patronizing "you're a literal child if you can only afford a $2000 watch, better luck next time you child!" marketing

So, can't be bothered to properly treat the glass, and goes out of their way to alienate buyers, bye HOMOS I guess I won't be owning one of your watches, and hello GS!

>>17350839
I mean it literally is a kids watch?

>>17350842
>if it's smaller than a campbell's soup can it's for girls and little kids
The 2000s called, they want their rules back

Also these are the same idiots who then turn around and bitch that the lugs are "too long"

This pic isn't mine, but i do have the same watch (Sportsman) and it is indeed nice and loud and crunchy. The other similar one i have (picrel) is a bit less satisfying to wind but ticks louder with a lovely sound.

>>17350837
Say what you will about their advertising and styling, what's lost is the appreciation for the engineering.

If I asked you to name a watch that had:
- in-house, automatic movement
- 200m WR
- less than 9.3mm thick

You'd be pretty hard-pressed to come up with too many contenders and none as cheap as the Nomos Club Neomatik.

>>17350974
They basically make everything in house, which is pretty cool. Its kind of ironic that the most outspoken company when it comes to "globohomo" is the one making everything in germany. Unlike some others.

I already have some expensive hobbies. Should I avoid getting into watches completely? Or is there a way I can just get something decent and forget about watches?

>>17350974
I can feel the s.o.y. through the screen.

I bought a Nomos Club Neomatik. It was cheap and I had a coupon to PrestigeTime. It looked good. It was well-made. It was surprisingly accurate (+1.5sec/day). Plus, it got compliments from just about everyone. Men, women, people who are into watches and those who aren't.

>>17351206
Im being kind of a smart ass but 36mm + gold bracelt makes things difficult.
I guess there is piaget
https://www.piaget.com/
You should just do a search on chro24 and filter by gold bracelt 36mm and see what's out there. I don't really recommend buying vintage gold rolex.
Things get much easier if you are okay witha gold dress watch on a leather strap.

>>17350234

>>17351211

>>17351171

With the criteria being solid gold bracelet and case for 12k you'll find nothing. You'll practically only find pre-owned, from what I see online that's mainly older Rolex datejust / daydate's, maybe an old Vacheron or some ugly ass Omega's. Like the other anon said filter some on Chrono24 with your budget in mind and you can see at least some of your options there

>whats wrong with spring drive?
If you believe that a watch should be purely mechanical, Spring Drive violates this principle by using an integrated circuit to regulate the movement.
Then, if you believe that, then Spring Drive is just an overcomplicated, overpriced quartz.

If you do not believe the above, then Spring Drive is still too expensive, particularly in terms of maintenance, which starts at 1,000 dollars, and only Seiko can do it.

>>17351612
The Carrera design language is fucking gorgeous, but I cannot bring myself to like TAG Heuer.

Vintage Heuer on the other hand...

VintageChronoAnon, here's were you reply and post some pics. :)

what is the appeal of this?

>>17351625
Probably not the same anon you're thinking of but here.

Snapped this before throwing hay to my cows

Few threads back I posted about an affordable GMT, almost settled on a Glycine Airman but now I've found out about this ultimate Explorer II cope which seems like it'll wear as compact as dimensions suggest on my Tim Mosso-sized wrists. Should I take the quartzpill and get a true GMT or will getting a GS doom me to a life of being mocked by anons?

>>17351629
Lovely. Thank you anon.
Also, is it for sale and how much?

>>17351636
Mine isn't. You can find some carrera re-editions on chrono24 for 3-4k give or take last I checked.

>>17351634
The Airman is more stylish. That's the watch I would get. 36mm Purist.

However, the 9F is objectively a more robust watch. More accurate, better power reserve and all that. Pretty comfortable too. I've owned one in the past and it's a great piece. I still sold it, though, because it was ultimately just a soulless thing. Also, I had purchased a LE version and the prices on them rose up.

is $440 a good price for a Junghans Max Bill Quartz

I still want one of those in gold. Really fucked up not getting one a few years ago when they were cheaper. Was too hung up on it not saying Carrera

>>17351442
The point of normcore though is to dress like an npc so you can stealth your way through.

It's a terribly frightening prospect to tell a /fa faggotry to do because they face the terrifying prospect of being completely ordinary if they can't dress up to "show their personality". They're hollow husks and recognize they're only pretending to be original

the bezel is fixed and the hour setting isn't a true GMT. but other than that its a good watch. i'd probably go for a black bay GMT over this its only about 1k euros more.

Why not? If you get one that looks good for 1k and spend 500 or so on a full service you're still under 2k. Or get something funky like picrel, it's selling for 1k.

>Or get something funky like picrel, it's selling for 1k.
Hence my use of the word "good" since you'll mostly find their 70s designs in that price bracket. Same with Rolex and a lot of other brands really, the 70s weren't a good time for watch designs and it's the decade that has the least interest for collectors.

Anything I need to know about mesh straps not in the FAQ?

>>17351846
casio does have square(-ish) watches, but none quite like that. some names to look for are mq-38 and mtp-v007 are some of the more square and undecorated ones (don't know if they're still in production). square but not for those with little money (and also nothing in style like that nomoes) is the OCW-T5000. a very nice piece, but with a pricetag in the high 3 digits.
just search for "casio square analog" and see if you like the look of one

Oh i see. I thought the squares turn similarly to that Raketa.

Is my Spring Drive broken bros?

I bought a Grand Seiko SGBA465 I yesterday. I wound it up to full power reserve and left it over night. When I woke up the next day the Spring Drive second hand just stopped. The crown is screwed in. Once I move the watch a little the second hand starts again. This has happened twice already. Should I send this back to my AD?

No bro, it's normal for a $4000 watch to stop randomly

>>17352267
How much does the power reserve show when it stops?

>>17352283
It is completely full. Here's a video of the issue.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandSeikos/comments/z0429i/grand_seiko_spring_drive_stopped_working_overnight/

Love that site, reminds me of when someone posted a vintage watch and I made a banal observation about a particular statement he made that seemed unlikely, and a bunch of zoomers jumped down my throat and went "uhhhh I think op would know but sure some random idiot must know better lol" and I think I hit about minus 75 karma before the op replied saying "oh yeah you were correct I made a mistake"

Rolex stopped being a sports watch at least 30 years ago, rolex buyers today are completely unaware of why they were ever considered good, only that they are and you should get on a waitlist for the privilege of forking over tens of thousands of dollars for an upsized clunky super deformed version of a watch that was state of the art 70 years ago

If you paid that much money for a "rugged outdoors" watch it had better be fine to pull the crown open in some light moisture conditions considering there are plenty of high end watches where you can pull the crown while actually diving, rolexfags will defend this

>>17352409

Midsize Seamaster is pretty much your only option except maybe for the new 36mm Breitlings. Seamaster has a million varieties though and I'm no expert on all the different reference numbers. The most recent Coaxial version will probably get pretty close to your budget but there's old Brosnan-era ones you can get for like 1k if you look hard enough. The best one though is the one with the big indices and the sword hands.
