A god tier watch.

>>17373283
I cannot tell for certain because it's not something constant and I had it for less than a year. It depends on the temperature for exemple, so it will deviate more if you don't wear it.(+/-10spy actually)
But at my current rate of 3 days/week of wearing it, it is -0.3-5 seconds after 4 months. So I'd say it's a fair estimation.

>>17373184
Rolex bought Gay Freres in the 1980s, IIRC

Is this worth $140

picrel is the greatest and best watch
all else is cope

>>17373310
Yes, if it comes with a 120 dollar Amazon gift card.

>>17373350
Doesn't say Invicta on it, doesn't have Spongebob, watch sucks.

Any watches from aliexpress worth buying nowadays? I’ve seen the SKX homage they put out with quartz movement. Any other divers/field watches that should I look for in there?

>bought a fake Rolex for around $600
>to embarrassed to wear it in case somebody asks if it's real
>inb4 you deserve it

I just sat across the table of a guy who is clearly wearing a fake JLC "tourbillon" (it isn't) and keeps flashing it all around.
How much disdain should I feel?

real tourbillon for 260 quid (they're actually on ali for 200 somewhere, cbf to find it now, this is the price i paid)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001373923273.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt

that'll do for now. i've bought so many it's ridiculous.

>>17373366
Pagani design, steel dive, chronos, san martin
Reasonably cheap and way nicer then they have any business being. Especially pagani design. You can check YouTube reviews for most models just to make sure they don't have any glaring issues but usually they are just very decent watches for $100-$150

>>17373310
I'd cop it for $80

>>17373427
I had the Aesop tourbillon but with a different dial and sold it. It's fun for about 60 seconds and then completely uninteresting, there are much better ali watches for that price. Maybe its more fun with the sandstone-like dial.

>>17373434
actually yeah this. can't believe i didn't include pagani design. i have literally about 100 paganis.

>>17373438
better than a legit tourbillon for 200 quid? gimme an example

Only 22 replies and I can already tell this is gonna be a shitty poorfag thread.

>>17373450
Seethe harder, faggot.

>>17373450
there's nothing wrong with cheap watches. as long as it looks nice i want it

>>17373383
yeah i know that feel. i've got a couple of fakies from ali. both under 50 quid. i'll only wear them as long as i'm confident i won't encounter anyone i know. i just want stranger girls to notice it and consequently beg to have my genitalia in them.

>>17373444
Anything by San Martin or Reef Tiger. Any real Sea-Gull watch. Any abalone dialed watches or titanium/bronze watches. The tourbillon is not as eye catching in real life as you'd think, its barely different to a open heart. It's cool they can produce a tourbillon for that price, and it's even cooler that the movement is actually reliable in terms of time keeping but the novelty for me wasn't intriguing enough to keep. If Sea-Gull made a dual-axis gyro tourbillon that would be really cool, I'd give that a go but I don't expect they'd be able to pull it off as cheap.

>>17373468
>Reef Tiger
omfg the reflection on the glass though. it seems for whatever reason to be unusually terrible on reef tiger watches. other than that i agree they're pretty great.
i think i'd still prefer the tourbillon.

Guess who made this list. Hard mode: no cheating.

>>17373471
you?

>>17373454
Here's the thing though.
Because poorfags have such terrible taste, cheap watch companies have no choice but to make ugly watches.
See Casio, Swatch, Seiko, Citizen, etc.

yeah well, it's as close as i can get to most luxury. i don't really wear them, just use them as ornaments which inspire me to try to earn/save enough for the real thing. plus they do give you at least some idea of what you'll be getting if you do lay down thousands for a real piece.

>>17373679
>>17373681
yeah I couldn't get a better screenshot, it's the highest resolution I found and the watch is not the focus of the scene

>>17373670
The bracelet and case shape suggest an 80s gold JLC reverso (they made bracelets that look like that). But it would be out of character, a rolex would be much more appropriate for the concept of paul owen (or allen, as they called him in the film), remember every one of those guys was basically a massive conformist and wore exactly the same shit and had the same hair and education and clothes etc

Seiko in the movie. Rolex was getting pissed off by the late 90s for being portrayed as some evil icon of capitalism, so they demanded any movies with negative characters not be able to wear their watches.

Check out my datejuste

>>17373769
Would you mind to elaborate?

>>17373816
This story is all over the internet but I'm not seeing any explanation of how rolex could prevent them from using their watches. More likely the studios have an understanding with any big brand that if they want that brand's product placement bucks in any future movie they have to play nice

Worth remembering that the bond franchise used a lot of seikos in a view to a kill

>>17373868
>More likely the studios have an understanding with any big brand that if they want that brand's product placement bucks in any future movie they have to play nice
Essentially this. A lot of brands do paid advertising, usually massive sums, so studios want to keep them happy. Omega and Rolex being used in Bond films has kept them massively popular for years, with the Submariner in Dr No essentially making that model one of the most desired watches on the planet ever since.

>Worth remembering that the bond franchise used a lot of seikos in a view to a kill
True. Their Octopussy watch is still desired to this day, with Casio even making an homage to it that people buy in droves since the Seiko is so expensive now.

How a product is portrayed in media is very important to these companies.

My latest pickup, how did I do /wt/? My AD was saying this was the last one that was still in stock in the USA warehouse so I had to pick it up since it has been discontinued. Is the Grand Seiko GMT SBGN003 quartz the perfect daily GS or is it just Rolex Explorer II cope?

>>17373896
Nice, enjoy wearing it anon!

>>17373896
Nice Ro... oh.

>>17373896
Yeah its a good pickup, since you bought it from an AD make sure to register for grand seikos owners club or whatever its called.

>>17373896
Kinda jelly anon, good job

Here is your Jacob&Co, Sir. That'll be 3k.

>>17373911
At least it uses $40 eta quartz movements instead of the $2 no jewel ones that every single other quartz watch uses.

I hated jacob & co before I watched uncut gems, but now I think he's alright. I wouldn't be caught dead with one of their watches but I respect the hustle

Hello sexy

post your square watches
>hard mode: no casio

Should I get or the seiko arnie? Yeah it's a thicc boi (15mm) but it's only 40mm ø, down from 1k to 250 and has a RONDA R-150 movement, and from what I gather that's a great price for that movement. I went to have a look at a tag heuer monaco today because it has the same thickness and it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, in fact I thick the deep blue would look better aince the bezel breaks up the sides and stops it from looking too slabby. The lugs kinda get me though ngl

Lugs

The other thing that gets me is thay I wanted a bracelet for it but the end links aren't articulated and look like complete dogshit on the jubilee and engineer bracelet

More slabby sides

The oyster end links don't look as bad but I still get a cheap vibe from it because they didn't bother making them articulated

Last post, of the watch I want, under the sun

>>17374060
I don't know if those ever actually sold for $1,000 but $250 is a solid price for one. Those ronda movements are actually quite nice, i was reading about them a while ago.

>>17374060
why do you need someone else to tell you it looks like shit and is way too thick? it looks like shit and is way too thick. there you go.

>>17374076
Well I doubt anyone pays msrp for them but I like everything about the watch but am unsure about the thickness. In some pictures it looks awful, in some its alright, really it's the lugs that get me

What's /fa/'s consensus on smart watches? I'm tempted by the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, but don't know if I'll ever end up using it much.

>>17374288
gay and boring. i do want one which accurately measures the number of steps i take though. a non-apple device. can i find one? like fuck. they're too gay.

>>17374289
Sort of the same, I want the heart rate and sleep monitor, not too fussed about getting message alerts on my wrist

>>17374290
yeah smartwatches are pretty much pointless. they have sod all to offer. few features, the features they do have are shit, and generally don't work properly. shartwatches are a failure

i've looked through maybe 100 bloody pocket watches on ebay this morning trying to find some of the size i want. i.e around 8cm circumference, so i can put together pic related as an ornament for my lounge. but literally every single bloody one so far has been 5cm or less. every one of them. what am i doing wrong? where the hell can i get a pocket watch (3, actually) which wasn't made for ants?

>>17373525
Yes, I meant Sakura.
I just cannot type correctly on a smartphone.

thinking of getting one of these as my first watch. thoughts?

>>17374309
bit dull imo. but i like outrageous and gaudy.
normally can't go wrong with seiko in terms of build quality and the like,

>>17374309
It's a solid watch.

>>17374311
yes, i like the dull look, non flashy dial

>>17374309
It's a good choice, the watch is neutral, nothing fancy and it's a workhorse.

>>17374309
this is the kind of watch someone buys if they want to know what time it is. half my watches are so elaborate, or even mystery-dial, that it can take like 5 minutes of squinting just to tell the bloody time. and i don't care. it's jewellery i have an excuse for wearing. i don't give a shit what time it is. got my phone for that.

>>17374321
wow your omega sneedmaster is so cool and unique bro

I want to get into the watch hobby and really like those moon phase things. I was looking at this as a start, it's 200 dollars and older than myself. Do you guys think this'll read time well at all or just a nice piece for my wrist, most others online I saw said they had -2/+2 minutes every 24 hours. This one didn't say anything and looks beautiful to me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCwBU6HZ874

>>17374331
dont really like it much myself, looks a bit too 70's, but that's totally irrelevant. if you like it then cool.
2 minutes is excessive btw. all mechanicals will fuck up by a few seconds per day at least, but 2 minutes is a bit too much. might just need a service. which that watch probably will too if it's decades old, incidentally.

Any microbrands worth looking into nowadays? Besides baltic, vaer, autodromo and unimatic. Max 500 Eur

>>17374433
I've read that the accuracy is pretty good, especially on the elabore models. +/-7seconds/day up to +/-12 seconds sounds very nice. And 460 euros for that watch feels like a steal.

>>17374434
>accuracy is pretty good
it's very good. i don't think i even lose/gain 7 seconds desu. never actually measured it but i'm pretty certain it's less than that

>>17374438
Those are the avg stats apparently. Pretty good movement, then. I'll cop the watch then. Thanks.

Anons with 10+ watches, how in the fuck do you manange to wear them? Do you wear a watch based on what you want to wear that day or do you do some kind of weekly rotation? I get that sometimes you have events and wear a dressy one but what about an average day of work? This also depends on your work setting ofc but I’m curious.

>>17374508
the guys in this thread with 10+ watches are seiko hoarders that don’t leave the house

>>17374512
I have only 3. Tudor, Omega, Cartier. Whenever I see a SOTC on r*ddit makes me wonder if they’re either hoarders or they just swap watches based on a system or randomly.

>>17374508
Daily rotation ? Why would you have more than 1 shirt then

>>17374288
I used mine for two months then went back to my Ironman.

>>17374520
Idk, I'm a physician. I take my Tudor when on wards and in clinic I take my Omega/Cartier depending on how I feel. I started with a Steinhart my parents gifted me after finishing residency and gave me the bug. I still have that watch but it's in its box because I can't find the occasion to wear it.

>Used watch
>Watch was bought from a friend no documents
>Romania

>>17374516
most of the plebbitors who own 10+ watches mostly own tissoi and soiko shitters, they would rather drop 15 grand on 15 watches instead of 15 grand on a single actual good watch

>>17374508
I wear it based on occasion and what matches the rest of the outfit better in terms of color, metal, and overall style

>>17374555
And do you have an “everyday” watch?

>>17374508
I don't, most of my watches were gifts and I just keep them for nostalgia in a box. I wear a dive watch 95% of the time and a vintage dress watch the other 5% of the time.

>>17374570
your average shitter accumulator right here folks, point and laugh

>>17374570
I'd probably spend 15k on 3-5 watches. 15 watches is excessive and any watch costing more than $5k is kind of embarrassing and cringe. I'd be embarrassed if anyone knew I spent $15k on watches too but at least if it's one at a time most of them won't think about it very hard

>>17374508
I have a Tissot poopomatic that I wear pretty often. I have a Longines Presence if I am dressier in the office. I also have an old Cellini for dressier occasions as well. I have a Gshock for everything else.

>>17374563
for shitter hoarders there are several factors playing into it: 1, it's easy, it's available, if you end up not liking it you can give it away without losing a lot of money. 2, it's mentally harder to carry a 15k watch on your wrist than a 1k watch, if that is a substantial amount of money to you. 3, it's mentally harder to make the choice for one bold purchase and dedicate to it, e.g. saving. This was a rehash of 1, though.

Smart watches are good for targeted, serious cardio training like swimming or running. Also good for monitoring sleep. Garmin is the best. They're pretty much useless for everything else.

>Anons with 10+ watches, how in the fuck do you manange to wear them?

I pick two each week, one dressier and one sportier, and swap out on Sunday.

There are also some watches that I rarely wear, either because they are so odd that the number of times you can wear them is limited; or because they were gifts and I simply don't like them but can't get rid of them.

>>17374661
>good for targeted, serious cardio training like swimming or running

They really aren't. If you're a casual you don't need to know your heart rate. If you're serious and fit but not some devoted athlete you already knows what it feels like when your heart rate is 80,100, 120, 150, 180, 190.

If you are one of the thin sliver of the population that is super serious to the point you really need to see your heart rate accurately you'll get a chest strap monitor for $20-$40 and get results that are more accurate.

>good for monitoring sleep

This is a meme that doesn't tell you any more than a sentence in a notepad wouldn't already

>>17374835
>If you're serious and fit but not some devoted athlete you already knows what it feels like when your heart rate is 80,100, 120, 150, 180, 190.
Yeah, because you used a HRM to correlate "feel" with a number, dumbass

>you'll get a chest strap monitor for $20-$40 and get results that are more accurate.
Sure, until they break because the people who make those things know nobody will make a stink over "just $40" and hey they probably abused it being a bad ass tough "serious athlete" so having to buy another is just proof of what a bad ass tough muddr you are

God I hate pseuds

>>17374309
That looks exactly like someone who wants to get their first watch would get. Exactly 0 normal people are going to be impressed.

The only people who will say anything are a bunch of similar mouth-breathing "I'm starting out in watches too, omg look at my other shitty watch" shortbus watch people and then people who know nothing about watches and will compliment your watch simply because they'd compliment any watch you have on.

>>17374321
Nah, if you wanted a watch to tell the time you'd get a digital Casio, a G-shock, or a quartz watch. A shitty automatic isn't going to tell the time well enough to be relied on. You'll have to reset it every day or three. It's not a ROLEXROLEXROLEX afterall

>>17374712
I don't care. I know people like it. I think it looks like shit.

>>17374841
What am I wrong about? Sounds like a hit a nerve pointing out you like garbage gizmos.

>>17374180
Then buy a real watch instead of a fucking seiko.

>>17374835
this is written like someone who has never been around fit people IRL and consequently assumes everyone they interact with must be completely clueless just like their fat parents, fat siblings, and fat townsfolk

>>17374855
Literally everything. You don't have to charge a Garmin (or most smartwatches) constantly. Modern Garmins can go for multiple weeks or even months without charging depending on usage and model. No, most people cannot just ascertain that their heart rate is 120 vs 130 when running. That's fucking retarded and so are you. Sleep monitoring is not a meme. Sleep quality is not a meme. Modern smart watches are typically within 10% accuracy of HRMs which is good enough.

To be honest your post reads like you're a fat fag who doesn't train at all

>>17374835
Why are you acting like you know what you’re talking about?

>>17374209
If you're in the US, the short answer is no. Basically if the car you're importing was never sold here it will have to be older than 25 years to register as street legal, else it may be seized and crushed.

Don't find myself not wanting to wear at least one of these honestly.

>>17374840
>Yeah, because you used a HRM to correlate "feel" with a number, dumbass

Correct, at which point a smart watch is useless to you as a HRM. If your argument is "there is some benefit to having used a HRM ever" sure, agree. But you don't need to drop $200-$800 on a smart watch to briefly experience heart-rate monitoring. Buy a strap for something accurate, or use a treadmill monitor from time to time.

>you'll get a chest strap monitor for $20-$40 and get results that are more accurate.
>Sure, until they break

If you manage to use a $20 HRM to the point they break then there's generally not a need for the HRM anymore, as you now have a "feel" for what your HR is at any point.

You don't need continual HR readings for months and months.

What's is your argument? "You should spend $200-$800 on a smart watch to get HR monitoring for a year or two because that's way better than $20-$40 on a more accurate strap because the strap will break eventually?"

>>17374874
I don't need an "argument", other than that you have none

I use an HRM because it's the most objective way to measure my exertion regardless of whether I'm having a "good" day or a "bad" day, if you've ever actually trained and I mean trained not just "gotten all sweaty" you'd know that gut feel can be wildly off the mark based on your subjective sense of wellness on any given day

tl;dr take the other anon's advice and sit down

>>17374874
pace, distance, splits, maps, centralized data collection of historical workouts...double down all you want but you're an idiot and it's clear to anyone who actually works out.

>>17374861
>most people cannot just ascertain that their heart rate is 120 vs 130 when running.
> Modern smart watches are typically within 10% accuracy

The smart watch can't tell if you're at 120 or 130 either at that accuracy, so what's the point of the smart watch?

>>17374881
>After ten runs totalling 81km, the difference in the average heart-rate reading was a mere 1.36%, and for all but two of the runs it was below 1%
Most Garmin watches are way more accurate than 10% but I threw you a bone. Do you have a public humiliation fetish?

>>17374879
My argument is pretty clear- a smart watch for fitness is a pricey gimmick good for no one. The information monitored isn't actionable for most people, and for the slim portion of the population that's a competitive athlete that would want more intense monitoring you'd want something more accurate, so you'd still not use a smart watch.

>>17374886
>pricey
Ah, so you're a coping poorfag. Should've just said that initially so we would know to discard your uninformed opinion.

>>17374880
>pace, distance, splits
Handled fine by dumb watches
> maps
Unneeded unless you just run around to random locations outside, and if you run random places you're a casual, in which case you don't need the information in the first place. GPS maps are going to be shitty for calculating the distance of your route, to the point that if distance actually mattered enough to you in the first place you'd get the actual official measurements for a particular route, as most trails, parks and tracks make readily available.

> centralized data collection of historical workouts
Not actionable, and if you were trying to make some actionable decision on the basis of historical workout information you wouldn't use the shitty UI of a smart watch compile that or analyze it.

Again, it's all either "you generally don't need it, and if you actually did need it you wouldn't use a smart watch to get it."

>>17374882
Lol, ok, so now your facts change to support your assertions.

Even if your own watch is super accurate, it doesn't matter, as
>10% accuracy of HRMs is good enough
If 10% accuracy is good enough then what does it matter if I can't tell if my HR is 120 or 130 without any monitor?

>>17374890
Lol ok, so now if we've established you enjoy wasting money, your iron grip of reason has reduced my argument to "it's just a gimmick good for no one."

>>17374873

My watch costs only like $100 but fro some reason it annoys me when people talk about how expensive they tend are worthless and blah blah. Some of it is poor cope but a lot of it is people not able to respect beauty, nice things and great design or engineering. I get it that some shit is just flashy and overly expensive. But I never shit on peoples hobbies or passions, I’m glad people are pushing the limits and doing crazy shit. Or people are just autistic about their hobby and that’s cool
