Post your watch.

the fiftysix is hideous and you’re basically suggesting a $18k cope watch so no thanks. i’m more interested in whether or not the gray market for the overseas has a shot at dropping back down to MSRP.

F91W chuds, this is the supperior watch

I'm going to buy a Tudor Black Bay Pro because dropping 5 figures on an Explorer II (or any piece of JEWellery) is obscene.
Fight me.

>>17365938
I wouldn't count on it. The Overseas still sells for 10k to 15k above MSRP and VC produces a handful of these.
People keep saying the second hand market is dropping but in reality it's only the few watches that reached insane price earlier this year that are correcting (Daytona, Pepsi, Nautilus, RO...). Most steel sports watches from the big names trade for way above MSRP.

>>17365986
>dropping 10k on a watch is obscene
>dropping 4k is fine though
I'm not saying you shouldn't buy this Tudor, but for most people throwing more than 1k at a watch is VERY obscene.

>>17365988
Overseas are going for slightly above list price on schlomo24.
The flippers are fleeing for the exits.
The market will continue to crash in the US and China and it’s crashing the hardest for exactly the nouveau riche types who ruined the experience of buying a nice watch in the first place:
Crypto investors, FAGMAN techies, and china’s newly minted middle class.
Money will be tight for the next 2 years and the watch market will continue to slow for the duration.
The overseas was the last of the good sports watches to be ruined by speculators (after all Rolexes, the nautilus, the aquanaut, and AP), and it’s the first to recover.
You can already find overseas at ADs in big US cities. I saw the black one in Miami a few weeks ago but I passed because I’d rather buy another investment property right now.

Shh my logic is sound.

>>17366016
>bet i could get one in the next 6 months
100% because since the price is trending down, the speculators are no longer buying.
They can hodl their inventory and lower gray market prices slowly but they won't risk taking on more stock in this market.

Thinking about buying the SPB187J1 (looking used prices) what do you think of the watch?

Could someone please recommend a watch (I would prefer it cost under $1000 but I could dream of a $3000 watch) that's on the dressier side, with any movement, that has a moon phase complication, preferably with a leather strap, that would ideally be under 42mm?

>FAGMAN techies
They don't care about blings that much. One or two lux watches is more than enough for them. It's not the noveau riche type you're thinking about, as there is a difference between earning cash by juggling abstractions for 10 hours a day and throwing your money at some shitty cryptoscam.

The BBP is a nice watch, but quite thick. Be sure to try one irl before placing your money on it.

>>17366020
I like a lot the red dot detail on the seconds hand.

>>17366073
I know it's not a very talked option, but I would suggest the Ball Trainmaster Moonphase. It's dressier than many but not enough that you can't wear it casually, comes with a bracelet but you can change it easily, it's 40mm the hands and dial are very nice and, imho the moonphase complication is done very well, especially considering the price. You can pick one for about $2,000 if you look a bit.

Inventing Tudor was the highest IQ move in watchmaking history. It allows anyone with a bit of money to talk their way into buying it.

If I was on their board I would propose;
- Tudor of Tudor for the 1~2K range featuring "faux faux patina" and "faux faux rivets".
- Tudor of Tudor of Tudor for the 200~500 range with "faux movements"; decorated random bits of metal behind a display caseback but it's actually a Miyota 2035
You think Hans would have hired me?

>>17366103
>>17366107
Thanks. I have looked at that because I watched the Teddy Baldassarre video on moon phase watches and he does mentions it. It is very modern and elegant, but I'd prefer something closer to picrel, and I'm going to be posting a couple more images but I'd like more options since the ones I'm posting are either a little expensive for me or they're too old.
I want a classic dress watch with this sort of essence.
>>17366100
From what I've seen, Seiko doesn't really do moon phase features outside of a couple massive chronographs.

>>17366121

>>17366124
Not really picrel as much as the others because the seconds subdial makes it looks slightly busy in my opinion, but it is still a good looking watch.

Zero COVID policy in China has sapped a lot of the rising middle class’s disposable income.
I work in crypto and people are tightening belts.
Startups that used to turn down $100MM as “not enough” are now scrambling for liquidity.
FAGMAN is full of autists who like “things” and it’s also an upward mobility industry where poor pajeets and Asians can finally afford all those nice things they used to see on their shitty crt tvs.
I may be delusional but less than a month ago I saw a watch for sale -not on hold- in an AD that 6 months ago you would have had to pay double the list price to get.
And anyone who has been in a Rolex AD since the summer can tell you shit has changed. Overnight they went from being Rolex museums to selling sports watches again (albeit at a higher retail price).
The resellers aren’t oblivious to market trends and they have stopped purchasing inventory.
This doesn’t mean that no one is buying these watches anymore but one large pool of speculative buyers, who until now enjoyed what amounts to an arbitrage, is drying up.
I don’t know why you would get so emotional over these simple statements of fact.
Are you a reseller or something? Is business slow?

>>17366107
This looks like a Seiko cocktail time but made of plastic

>>17366121
That Junghans looks decent. Seiko doesn't have many good looking moonphase watches. Tried finding one a while back, couldn't find shit. Orient has a cheap one that looks OK, pic rel

>>17366127
Picrel looks good too. Maybe this is what I want; something a little busy with the main focus being on the moon phase element. I'm not dead set on a classic dress watch I guess, but this look is hard to pull off.

More like "spending less on crypto and more on something else", given the recent negative publicity and volatility.
>Startups that used to turn down $100MM as “not enough” are now scrambling for liquidity.
Because FAANG monkeying mindset. "Oh no, Facebook layoffs, Elon Musk is being an egomaniac again, must make the same market moves!" t. your average "venture capital" bigshot.
>FAGMAN is full of autists who like “things”
Yeah and the last time i checked those people are more interested in Raspberry Pi 69 rather than Pepsi Rolexerino (Get Them Chicks and Even More Guys Edition).
>Overnight they went from being Rolex museums to selling sports watches again (albeit at a higher retail price). The resellers aren’t oblivious to market trends and they have stopped purchasing inventory.
More like AD shoulder rubbing has become so idiotic that it started to hurt the brand and the inner brand relationships and most likely the higher ups are cracking down on it Why the fuck would anyone go for a brand that can't sell you half of their products (especially if you are new money)?
>I don’t know why you would get so emotional over these simple statements of fact.

They will never make a 1~2K watch, it would cheapen the brand. If Rolex wanted to go on this market, they would launch another brand.

>>17366143
I should have made a shorter response
I made it too complicated by dragging China and Big Tech into my theories.
Here is what I’m saying:
1. Prices of watches are trending down with resellers
2. Previously hard to get models are now showing up at ADs again
Therefore
3. It is now easier to acquire expensive watches for list price or close to it.
I think that these are easily observable facts.
Are you seeing something else that I’m missing?

Chuds, the only thing that matter is are you buying the dip or are you crashing Rolex with no survivors?
(i think this might be the bottom for a while unless we see another 2008 crashing the economy speedrun)

>>17366150
Yes i do. One might even call it seething.
>1. Prices of watches are trending down with resellers
This is true and is easy to observe. I don't challenge that statement, however, i also believe that the noveau riche (i really like how that term sounds) is not oblivious to that and given that the perception and brand values of premium watches are unaffected, they might just see it as a Christmas sale and just buy in. Which means that what we're seeing is just the sneaker hypebeast types (the most active flippers) being dumb with their money yet again.
>2. Previously hard to get models are now showing up at ADs again
Which i attribute to higher ups finally cracking down on shoulder rubbing, as it creates a negative brand image (unless you're into some weird powerplay shit).
>3. It is now easier to acquire expensive watches for list price or close to it.
True, but it won't be for long and my overall point/conclusion/delusion is: the prices are going to slowly climb back up as the "cheap" watches are going to be bought up by actual collectors, long term players, noveau riche and more experienced scalpers.

Sounds great.
I think prices will remain low for a while. VCs we’re burned by the latest downturn and I don’t see them spending a lot of money again any time soon.
In the interim, if the plebs on this board want a nice watch, they can probably get one now -at an AD, no less- instead of haggling with some scummy scalper over the internet.

Eh, i would argue about that but i don't care enough about that particular part of the discussion.
> -at an AD, no less- instead of haggling with some scummy scalper over the internet.
This is perhaps the best part of it all. I forgot to add that the "replicas" situation is adding up to Rolex attempting to return to normal, even though it's nothing new and that's what happens when you chase recuperating the equipment expenses and selling your stuff to China, rather than ensuring that the integrity of your brand remains solid.

Hey anon who works in crypto (since I catched you outside of biz I can assume you're not a bot or a paid shill) what is your financial advice for crypto investors atm?

Not that anon but it's impossible to give you advice without knowing your portfolio and market entry points (when you bought, why and how many). Want a general advice? Perhaps funny internet money isn't the best idea, unless of course you have no other ideas.
On the other hand, you might want to gradually buy the dip. Set the lowest point at which you going to stop buying and set points at which you gonna buy. Don't go crazy and ruin your financial status because of biz schizos, it's just another market to work with.

I have about 5% of my net worth in crypto and I try to regularly rebalance.
The composition is 50% BTC, 35% ETH, 15% “other” with other varying a lot. For example back in January “other” was mostly Luna but a quant friend of mine told me it would eventually depeg and I should bail so I did.
I used to have a 40% BTC/40% ETH/10% Defi/10% Metaverse split but I’m retreating into more known quantities now.
Most of my money is in real estate. I have a home and 2 rentals which are worth around $2M together.
Honestly (and take into account that I’m terrible with money), if I have spare money during this downturn, I want to sink it into another rental down in Miami or buy the stock market dip

H-51 is based on the ETA 7753, vs. the SW510 M based on sellita SW500-1. 4 extra jewels in the hamilton one but can't tell where they are. Specs are almost identical. Prices are pretty close as well; I think at this point you should consider finishing and style as the discerning factor
Personally I have the automatic version of the hamilton and it's sexo.

>>17366528
>it’s funny because no one cared about the gaytona until paul newman wore it.
Even then. He was wearing his in the 60s and 70s, and it still wasn't a popular watch.
Italian collectors in the late 80s decided it was cool and, from there, it took off.
Throughout the 90s it stopped languishing in display cases and by the early 2000's it was now a wait-list only model.
Shit really exploded once the ceramic bezel showed up.

Is it possible that someone can dislike you personally without it being seething?

Like, for example, I dislike blacks for being poor, but I'm not seething over their poverty; or I dislike Italians for being black, etc.

>>17366965
Can you recommend me a good watch that is still respectable but isn’t flashy or a Rolex? I have money and I want a nice mechanical watch but I don’t want to spend a whole lot

>>17366973
Unless you're spending more than a Rolex that doesn't exist.

>>17366975
But Rolex is a luxury brand. I want more of a “utility watch” that is a classic mechanical, surely there is something that isn’t as luxury but is still good

>>17366973

you can unironically buy an omega or tudor

>>17366977
Sounds to me like you're describing a Rolex. If you want something a bit cheaper you can look at Omega and if you want something less well known how about Zenith?

>>17366951
Oh, I know they aren't seething because of my watches, but endlessly going thru the effort of posting the "MORTADELLO..." everytime I post is a whole lot of seething nonetheless. Envy is a sad, sad thing.

>>17366977
I don't understand how the fuck do you want a respectable watch but don't want the only respectable watch brand that exists retard. Stop being poor and fucking save up.

>>17367007
So you think they're envious of you being a fat ugly bald retard with tits?

ok
>Envy is a sad, sad thing.
Envy of what, though. All they know about you is your watches and you just said it has nothing to do with your watches.

>>17366973
IWC is peak garbage
omega is 99% garbage
tudor and grand seiko are 100% cope rolex garbage
JLC and zenith are indeed quite respectable
but for first luxury watch literally nothing beats rolex, but if you buy a sub or an explorer or milgauss or air king then you're just coping by buying lowest entry rolex so you must, MUST start with at least a gmt or a datejust, I myself am a young chad so I won't go into dorky daytona or boomer tier day date anytime soon thus gmt and datejust is pretty much the only rolex I can wear to match my sexually fulfilled vibe, so people with strong incel vibe are likely to oppose my choices

>>17366977
>I want more of a “utility watch” that is a classic mechanical, surely there is something that isn’t as luxury but is still good
That's Tooter. That's literally why Hans Wilsdorf founded Tooter as the blue-collar alternative to Rolex. Originally, it was

Now it's

>>17367009
I want to be a special snowflake and not have a brand every single person knows. I’m not poor either so your comment makes no sense. Do people “save up” for something as trivial as a watch? I’m not a child saving my allowance to buy a toy. I have enough liquid in my checking account to buy multiple Rolexes.

I don’t dislike Rolex exactly but it’s just so gay that it’s the only watch brand beyond other more expensive watch nerd shit. Like there is more than one nice cars brand and they are competitors and each have some status, despite some of them making entry level cope models. Why isn’t there more variety in good watch makers?

For me, it's the simple Datejust. That's the epitome of a Rolex. Everything Rolex was meant to be: simple, durable, exquisitely well-made. All the class of a dress watch with the durability of a sports watch.


The Sub, GMT-Master, Daytona, nah. That's all for LARPers pretending their men of action while having a conniption fit when they discover a scratch on their clasps.

I don't hate GS like so many people here, it's just not my thing and I would never buy one. But this watch is pretty much perfect to me.

>>17365926

>>17367681
That GS is covered with zaratsu polishing m8.

>>17367696
The indices?
There's no zaratsu on the case, right?
ngl I barely know what zaratsu is, I know it's a polishing technique but for some reasons I associate it with these angular GS cases.

>>17367713
>There's no zaratsu on the case, right?
There is. Basically any polished surface on a GS is going to use zaratsu polishing.

>>17367052
This looks like a budget version of the GS Kodo.

>>17367714
shiiiieeeeet didn't know that
Alright then, doesn't change the fact I like the watch.

>>17367681
>rectangular indices with sharp hands
it’s shit

>>17367670
>you are allowed to only sell it on this platform for a period of 3 months

>>17367696
I know a thing or two about GS and to be honest i can't be completely sure that this is the case. Someone mentioned once that what is known as 'Zaratsu polishing' (the process is actually called lapping) can only be used for flat surfaces like on 44GS and 62GS which are full of them, while watches like your picrel have rounded, almost barrel shaped cases. I haven't seen a video of a rounded case being zaratsu polished, but then again there isn't much footage out there to begin with so i can't say.

>>17367681
dial looks like wet ass

>>17367751
One of the things GS prides themselves on is being able to do zaratsu on surfaces that curve. Hell the case side on a 44GS is a huge unbroken curved surface.

>>17367713
>The indices?
>>17367713
>The indices?
Indices aren't Zaratsu polished, the hands aren't either. The people doing the polishing are incredibly good at their what they do though. There is a lot of confusion out there because 'watch reviewers' and youtubers usually don't have a clue what they're talking about and just throw buzzwords around. The amount of times i've heard or read about Zaratsu polished indices and hands or Zaratsu being an ancient japanese sword polishing technique is shocking.

>>17367761
Yeah but it's curved only in one dimension, you can see on my pic that the worker has a flat base on which he can rest his tool that holds the watch head, and he can slide the tool on it so it only moves in one dimension. I'm not sure if polishing a barrel shaped case can be done this way. Maybe by holding it freely, just by hand, idk.

>>17367768
Exhibit A.

>>17367774
Also there is no such thing as 'sunray brushing', the Cocktail time has a sunray *patterned* dial and the King Seiko has a sunburst brushed dial.

>>17367761
Never mind, i was wrong. I looked a bit and there are different types of machines, they probably have the ability to do whatever they want basically. I read somewhere that these machines were very expensive at the time GS bought them (they were made in Germany near the German-Swiss border btw) and i can see why, they are probably the best in the world. GS takes good care of them and has developed and makes their own proprietary lubricants and plates and other stuff they need so they're set for life.

Minase also uses Zaratsu polishing.

Your watch always reminds me of this.

Dude traded that shit in for a Rolex ASAP lmfao. And never wore it in real life either.

They need to make a g-shock with this aesthetic

>>17367774
what's the problem here? it's awkward phrasing but it's pretty obvious what he's trying to say is that one half of the hand is polished and the other is brushed. are you suggesting you cannot accomplish that with a sallaz machine? your argument reeks of /r/IAmVerySmart/

>>17367850
The hands are the same as in a 300$ Cocktail Time, there is no Zaratsu polish there.

>>17367865

Yea it's got Zaratsu, I don't really understand why it would be a downside. Yea you have to get it sent to Japan to get it refinished, id never want a watch polished personally. I agree with everything else.

>>17367867
TGV used to say that, and after all these years he still can't pronounce Zaratsu properly.

>>17366842
I actually restored a very similar watch to this one not that long ago. Cool to hear you're going to save it Anon.

>>17367884
it was overblown, but basically as soon as the subject turned to higher end stuff he was visibly uncomfortable and instead of just openly acknowledging that he doesn't really know that much about the high end, instead started muttering a word salad of watch-related words while tim smiled trying to pretend nothing was wrong

>>17367869
>Yea you have to get it sent to Japan to get it refinished
There is this guy in Poland that specializes in restoring GS cases, but he is booked for life probably.
