What an odd photo. Regardless of whether you turn it or not, it looks likr you're in a room, just that the landscape orientation is a room with wooden panel walls and the portrait one is just a normal room.
Freaky.

Please suggest a watch for me.
>Budget: Around $200
Watch Type: Dive watch I guess, but I'm open to suggestions. Something that looks elegant but not too formal. I considered going with Seiko. I'm really open to recommendations here.
Movement: Any type would be fine.
Desired features: None, I'm just interested in the style.
Strap Option: Steel wristband
Wrist size or desired size: Medium sized, and I have tools to adjust the wristband size.

I'm just looking for something I could wear to business dinners that looks nice and classy but not over-the-top flashy.

Thank you.

>>17375525
I'd buy this if it didn't have the date window and the "X FACTOR PROSPEX" logo. It's jarring, the juxtaposition of the retro 50's "automatic" font, the Arial "20 BAR" font, and the modern X logo--all clash on top of the classic mid-century dial design. Just bad.

>>17375556
F-91W or used Invicta Spongebob (it's like Pepsi Rolex but good).

thoughts?
should i get the mickey mouse instead

>>17375567
The only worthy contender for the Invicta.

>>17375531
I paid $160 usd for mine (same model).
Been thinking of selling it since I never wear it.

Serious question now, what is the actual best watch for the minimalist? Should I just pick up a casio shitter or can we get better?

>>17375803
>minimalist
>casio
You meant Meistersinger right?

>>17375814
Feel free to suggest a superior alternative if (you) actually know any.

>>17375711
At first glance it looks like a literal happy meal toy, but the more I look at it the more I like it. I like the rotating 24hr internal bezel. Dimensions?

I wanna get a bracelet for my BB58. Are Uncle Seiko bracelets good? I can get an OEM but the AD is 500km away and there's no fucking way in hell I'm driving that much for a fucking bracelet.

So. Jubilee or President bracelet? I have the 79030N model

>>17375794

>>17375794
>buying one watch a week

>>17375824
Call the AD and have them ship it out to you, my AD is 15 mins drive away and I have them ship me stuff all the time (links, clasps, rubber straps)

>>17375830
The fucker told me to bring in the watch and they'll put it on it. Idk what's up with this retarded policy in the EU. I've tried even a fuck serbian AD and they told me the same. Swiss fuckers told me the same.

>17375827
Dogshit bait, try harder.

>>17375803
I suppose you mean lifestyle minimalist (look at me I only wear cheap utilitarian stuff) instead of design minimalism (look at me I spend money to look like I don't spend money)?
Because if it's the latter you could go a bit more expensive and get something solar radio control with no numeral indices

>>17375824
Sooo...anyone?

>>17375843
Less lifestyle minimalist and more design, but basically just the best bare simple watch that looks good and tells time. Cheaper the better obviously.
Casio is just the cheapest shitter I can think of right now.
Appreciate the rec, going to give those a look.

>>17375733
You won't go wrong if you buy one.

>>17375824
always jubilee

>>17375827
is that a rolex batman or a pagani?

>>17375848
Was thinking the same, it looks pretty good on it.

>>17375844

>>17375824
I have been into my AD (UK) so IDK if that makes a different. Call the AD's without watchmakers in the back but carry the brand online only, so they could not fit it if they wanted to. I had to do that a few times for Omega clasps as main AD's watchmakers don't like mixing watch parts (seamster clasps on Speedmaster bracelet)

Take a weekend away with the girlfriend, road trip? If it was me I would just fly on a cheap flight. If I'm honest I always find 3rd party claps trash.

>>17375855
I'll cop it, then anon. Thanks.

>>17375859
It won't happen anytime soon and after I called him, he told me that I have to wait 3+ months because "He just put in an order today for other stuff" and then come in. There are only 2 Tudor/Rolex ADs in my shithole and I'd rather take my wife to Italy in a vacation or something rather than a 2 day road trip to buttfuck nowhere.

>>17375846
Yea I would say the king / turtle is still be best buy for the money. Used prices even better. The mid range Seiko at £1000 can be had for 40% if you wait for sales.

>>17375797
>>17375654
Damn, those are expensive. I know it's silly complaining about a couple hundred dollars for a strap when my watch cost 4k, but I know straps are cheap and you're not actually getting much more for that price

>>17375567
I have this one. The strap is shit, the movement is literally noisy, but the dial is fun.

>>17375861
Honestly same, I wouldn't take a road trip anywhere. Id just take a cheap flight by myself and I'd REALLY have to want that bracelet, most likely not. Id stick it on a rubber tropic strap and be done with it and the 58 looks better on a jubilee as other anon said.

Lifes short anon you should take that trip to Italy, anywhere on the coast and you should be fine.

>>17375882
Yeah, I don't want the OEM bracelet specifically, any will do as long as it is of decent quality, the OEM is not that good either so it's not much of a loss for me. I was thinking about Rome because I've never been there, just Milan, Rimini, Pescara and visited the whole Sardegna. Plus, some urban exploring during the winter is very welcome.

It depends on who you like more. If you do not like the character than do not buy it.

>>17375803
Bauhaus watches. Sternglas, nomos (Tangente or Ludwig), Junkers.

One hand watch by Luch is also minimalist. You can tell the time but just roughly since it has only one hand and each little line represents 5 minutes.

SSC769P1. Good buy around £200

>>17375803

>>17375803
If by minimalist u mean the reddit term for ascetic and you have to buy one, casio f91w or dw5600e.
In case you were to inherit a watch, it wouldnt matter if it was a nautilus or a daytona, both would be ascetic on the sense that the watch is more a family heirloom than a terrenal thing you lusted over

>>17376058
Their watches work better on their bracelets (or straps) that complete the shape.

Seiko has been moving away from best bang for buck, but the alpinist in particular is still worth it for the price if you can find one discounted to like 500 bux

>>17375711
ok buy it then

>>17375990
My best friend would wear the same one with a black dial. He died this year. Miss you bud.

>>17375733
You can still get an alpinist off sakura for a pretty solid price. I have the shark tooth, it keeps okay time. The power reserve is probably my favorite part about it.

>>17375814
this makes me think that some fag with a decent amount of cash is butthurt that people are so happy with an affordable watch

Hello bros, looking to buy a Rolex submariner as an investment. I made money off crypto and see most of my peers buy watches.

Is Chrono24 reliable? How important is box/papers for resell? Is a submariner a safe investment or will they be out of style?

>>17376646
be sure to use their escrow service. I would buy only with box and papers: there were reviews where someone purchased from a commercial dealer and when he sent the watch to service it was confiscated because it was registered as stolen. Turned out the dealer was actually a fence.

>>17376879
Unfortunately I hate the hour hand, but also you pretty much can't buy them right now.

>>17376863
Because it's not likely to be an integrated chronograph movement, just a regular movement with a chronograph module bolted on.

>>17376867
Just get the black bay 58 its a really nice watch.
Here are a few no date dive watches

Complete newfag here. Where do I go to buy a watch? According to the poorfag guide, an Orient Kamasu is $210, but I checked their website and it's closer to $350 and that's with a sale. Are the prices just outdated in the guide or am I missing something? Are the watches in the guide still relevant?

>>17377004
Jomashop has $200 kamusus
Probably ebay too

>>17377004
Orient USA publishes made up nonsense MSRP prices so everyone thinks they got an amazing deal, whereas the "super sale just 4 u" prices you see at actual shops are the real price, it's very downmarket and poor smelling which I think contributes to a lot to orient not being taken seriously by westerners

>>17377004
Don't buy a poorfag watch from a guide that was made 5 years ago? Everything costs double now due to inflation and if you're not a high school kid you don't need a training watch in the first place. Real watches start at $6k and up for the entry level.

>>17377004
An anon taight me that a good method is to check local listings like Facebook MP for watch sale posta that are at least 1-2 weeks old. That indicates that no one's biting and you can try to lowball. Worst case scenario they don't go for it. That's how I got my Aquaracer cheap.

older seiko 5 watches can be had on amazon for under $200, certain models of the newer seiko 5 can be had for about $200

>>17377075
>older seiko 5 watches can be had on amazon for under $200,
If you pay more than $80 for and old seiko 5 you might as well just light money on fire. They are cheap junk, you can buy a real watch for $200.

It's not bad. It was a slow seller like most radical designs are but in terms of being a bad watch, no way.

>>17377333
We like it just fine. We just don't like the fat fuck on here who owns one who assumes that he is owed respect because he has an expensive collection.

rate my shitter. 38mm Aaua Terra late 2019.

>>17377376
It's fine. Should be accurate, got decent lume, good water resistance, appropriate for pretty much any occasion.

It's not really an "enthusiast's watch". It's the kind of watch for someone who walks into a jeweler and buys what he assumes will be the last watch he'll ever own.

>>17377376
Aqua Terra*. Fuck my life, I sometimes wonder how autistic can I get.

>>17377381
The lume is meh, tbqh. It gets plenty of wrist time and it's true, it's the kind of watch that can be considered a GADA watch/One watch "collection". Accuracy was +2 seconds/day when I first got it and after wearing it for a while it was staying at a steady zero.

>>17377339
Watches need more car-interior-like wood on the dials.

>>17377376
Nice, if maybe a bit boring.

>>17377385
>The lume is meh, tbqh.
It's better than most watches in its class. Compare that to the tiny dots on a Datejust.

>>17377391
not really no

>>17377405
Fair enough, maybe I was used to the lume on on different watches, it has a nice blue glow, not very flashy in the sense that it doesn't scream I HAVE LOOM!!! It's discreet yet it lasts a good while.

>>17377407
Why not? Wood goes well with metal and leather. I'd love to see a car interior designer design a watch. They know how to make things feel luxurious.

How can these fuckers not have invented a way to align screws yet? They could have at least used sex bolts or whatever they use on the royal oak's case. Stare too deep into this watch and its misaligned screws will stare back into your soul
>big 3 btw

>>17377494
How autistic do you have to be to insist that screw heads line up? Like, really?

Is the screw used in the movement clean? Good question to ask.
Is it torqued to spec? Good question to ask.
Is the slot parallel with every other visible slot? Of course not, now spend some time under your weighted blanket before you cause another scene.

I just ordered a baby grand seiko, but this one "Urushi" is pretty cool.

It's 20 thousand dollars you dense nigger, if I wanted to see misalignment I'd get a 25$ copy of any shitter

Autism going off the charts here.

Good for you, though, you can't afford it, so it never has to bother you...but, of course, you're autistic, so even the idea of misaligned screws has you scratching your face and pulling out your hair.

Imagine being THIS mad because your watch looks deformed kek

>he thinks the screws on a royal oak are aligned
LMAO, tell me how i know none of you have ever seen one in real life. here’s a hint: you can’t screw a hexagonal screwhead into a hexagonal hole, numbnuts.

Aqua Terra is a great every day driver. Not a shitter.

I used the term shitter because it's swiss.

>>17377494
inspired by Ralph Lauren high horology

>>17377543
Just say swisser then.

>>17377549
A Fatter is a fashion shitter.
A Swisser is a swiss shitter.
A Germer is a german shitter.
A Japer is a japanese shitter.
A Chiner is a chinese watch.

Finally got to change timezones in my GS GMT! Just in love with this watch.

>>17377339
the 80's called. they dont want their watches back.

>>17377554
>Did I travel? No, I had to make a phone call to someone in a different timezone.

I want a mechanical watch with cool functions and complications. There are so many and I can't seem to find anything cool, just a tachymeter on the bezel, very rarely a pulsometer.

Can anons recommend me something? I'm not ultra rich but I have pretty good buying power.

>>17377599
longines have pretty nice but cheap moonphase watches, but theyre dressy so probably not what youre looking for

>>17377599
Here you go.
Tons of complications. Day, date, month, year, moonphase (in both northern and southern hemispheres) and it knows if it's a leap year so it will autocorrect for 28/29 days in February.

Plus its still pretty thin, less than 12mm, has 100m WR and 70 hours power reserve.

>>17377606
That's a really nice watch, thank you for the recommendation. Permanent calendar is really cool. Looks very nice and formal too. What would you recommend if you didn't have to care about formal looks?

>>17377599
>>17377604

> Your budget

Like 10k should be enough for a nice watch?

> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot

Pilot I suppose, assuming those are the ones with the most cool and useful functions.

> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz

Mechanical in general. Automatic preferred, hand wound also acceptable.

> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone

As many as possible. A chronograph at least and as many cool things as possible to do with it, like a tachymeter and pulsometer and asthmoeter and anything they can come up with. Water resistance is good too, don't want to worry about it failing under any circumstances.

> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet

Metal bracelet.

> Wrist size or desired watch size

Any size, as long as it it's cool.

>>17377611
that JLC is like 30k lol

>>17377613
Ok by me. I'm not really educated about watch prices or what to expect, just made up a value.

>>17377611
>Looks very nice and formal too. What would you recommend if you didn't have to care about formal looks?

JLC is very good about supplying extra straps and stuff. Every one I've ever bought they've tossed in a free strap along with other swag. You can swap between straps without tools too, just your thumbnail.

So, bracelet for most days, the rubber strap for super-casual stuff, and you can get a nice leather strap if you want to dress it up a little.

>>17377620
What do you think of a watch like this? There's all these cool meters on the bezel, I assume they're used with the cronograph. It seems to be made for sailors. Surely there are some cool things that can be placed on the bezel that normal people would find useful. I regularly measure heart rate and respiration rates, I researched this and found that pulsometers and asthmometers exist but I can't find any watch featuring them

you own a £100k+ watch, do you wear it?

Fuck no, mostly because it is hideous.

>>17377635
not all 100k watches are hideous you pleb. plus that astronomia is probably more like a million.

What is the general consensus when it comes to Steinhart?

>>17377637
Yeah obviously not all 100k watches are hideous. I am talking about the pic included in the post. Why would you assume I am talking about all 100k watches you brain dead mongrel?

>>17377639
you're a smart one aren't you. try reading the post again, and not just looking at the pictures

>>17377626
>There's all these cool meters on the bezel, I assume they're used with the cronograph.

It's actually a slide rule. You can do calculations with it. It was designed for pilots to calculate fuel range, rate of descent, etc. back before computers did everything for them.

>>17377641
>oh no, he called my Asstronomia hideous :(

>600 dollaridoos for this

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

he's just being edgy. 'hey look at me everyone, i think a 1 million quid jacob is "hideous". not even relevant to the post, yet he HAD to point it out

>>17377651
It is hideous lmfao. Nobody made you include that image in your post.

>>17377655
it was just a convenient pic to use.
god forget it, i wish i hadnt asked. bloody kids.

>>17377642
I see. That's totally cool, a handy calculator. What's a good watch with one of these and more?

I wish there was some kind of watch database with tags for this kinda stuff

>>17377661
>What's a good watch with one of these and more?
That's it. The Breitling Navitimer.

No, he's a watch expert who reacts.

This arrived today, got it on a nice black friday deal

>>17377692
What color is that dial? im colorblind and my brain can't process it

Is a black Rolex datejust the best one watch? Thinking about buying it and calling it a day.

>>17377702
Yeah but the 36 not the 41 the 41 is too big for that style of watch and won't age well

>>17377702
I'd buy a good fake of it if it was allowed in my country. The smaller variant though.

>>17377648
I kinda like it. Source?

>>17377702
the best one watch is a holy trinity or lange sports watch, but you can’t afford that so yeah, settle for the lolex

>>17377708
Ifl

>>17377693
It's beige, but its got like a fading gradient

>>17377702
Yes

>>17377692
Very nice, model name and how much did you get it for?

>>17377706
>>17377702
I noticed that celebrities usually have the 36mm one in movies and it looks good, so why pick the larger one? The pic seams to be 39mm or 41mm, correct?

>>17377781
>The pic seams to be 39mm or 41mm, correct?
Yeah, the larger ones have the seconds marked out on the dial.
Anyway the current 36mm looks large anyway, it has much more wrist presence than the vintage models.

>>17377781
>I noticed that celebrities usually have the 36mm one in movies and it looks good, so why pick the larger one? The pic seams to be 39mm or 41mm, correct?
That pic is the 41mm one. (The easy way to tell is that the 41mm dials have the minutes printed out at the indices.)

Celebrities tend to be thin and, if they're actors, tend to be small so 36mm works better on them. Celebrity athletes, on the other hand, tend to be bigger and go for the 41mm.

If you're particularly large, then 41mm may look more balanced. The DJ is Rolex's most popular watch so it makes sense they offer it in multiple sizes. (There's also the 31mm and the 28mm Lady-Datejust.)

>>17377779

Thank you! Its a Seiko 5 Sport SRPD67K1, got it for $200 CAD taxes in, marked down from $425 before tax

You don't read French?

>>17377810
If i were to take a guess i'd say it means 'thin'.

Why the fuck is Tudor getting so popular?

>>17377835
90% of Rolex quality at a fraction of the price.
Making watches that the watch buying community actually wants.
Actually in ADs' cases.

That'll do it, every time.

>>17376926
Great looking watch

>>17377838
If only they provided both strap options in the box like they used to. My AD has a ranger but it's on the leather strap and I'd feel cucked without the metal one.

I've come to the conclusion that luxury quartz shit on my wrist will make me happy

do you guys like the superocean?

>>17377852
I want this integrated bracelet vintage quartz shitter

>>17377856
>>17377852
and then this shitter and a casio databank and a 35mm quartz tissot prx

once I have all that my life will finally be complete

>>17377858
god that cartier is pure class

>>17377858
Wasn't that black dial a limited edition?

The classic opaline white dial is still nice.

>>17377263
Haven't been following it at all. Did Archie ever get his watches back or figure out who did it?

>>17377863
idk you can still buy it on cartiers website but it's 3000 euros for a basic quartz shitter

>>17377861
you can't even tell what time it is but it's a handsome piece of jewelry that you can impress normies with

>>17377852
>>17377856
>>17377858
>Quartz

Does anyone else here feel bothered by the current market of microbrands? Few of them rarely feel any more substantial than just arrangements of parts and layouts we already know too well dressed with internet marketing. I'm not even talking about the MVMT-tier shitters, but the stuff that's allegedly "by watchlovers, for watchlovers." It's like everyone is vying to be watch of the month until consumers salivate over the new hotness 4 weeks later.
As watch nerds it might be we're hyper aware of this, but surely even the casual scroller on Instagram gets tired of this madness too? I really hate how a brand's success just breeds more of them. It's almost too easy to do.

>>17377872
That's really it. Does it matter if it's quartz? Not really. In this case, you're buying jewelry that can tell the time.

Theoretically, anyone who spergs out over it being quartz can be disregarded since they clearly know nothing, but in practice, you'd never encounter these people unless you visited them in their basement.

>>17377881
Stop being poor. Microbrands are cope

>>17377872
The pic you used is around 5:43 or so, its not that difficult to read

Gonna sell my BlackBay 58 that I've only had for a month with box and papers, what's a fair price?

>>17377932
One quintillilion dollarinos

>>17377932
I'll give you tree fiddy

>>17377935
can i have a side of fries with that

a little, the thing that bothers me the most is that they all have the same look and feel to them, even the renders

I forgot

>>17377947
nooooo you cant just forget

>>17377955
sorry

>>17377932
Why sell it?

nice to have a timer function

>>17377995
It's a hype watch that looks great in pictures, but once you have it on your wrist it's actually super-underwhelming.

>>17378047
My father in law has one. It looks great.

What would be a great watch under 400€? Thinking orient kamasu or orient sun and moon open heart

>>17378067
none sorry

>>17378067
at this price point you might as well just buy a g shock and a timex marlin or something lol

>>17378069
>>17378080


Answers filled with such empty arrogance and snobbishness it left a bad aftertaste

>>17378067
Orient kamasu, maybe a seiko baby tuna if you can get a good price on one on ebay.
Oh actually this thing.
Also comes with black and sliver dial versions. Look up pictures/video the renders don't do it justice.

>>17378067
I like my Citizen Fugu, but the orient is good if you need a dress watch

>>17378095
There's plenty of GOOD watches, but none that are GREAT. That's the difference.

So what do Rolex stores have in stock if Rolexes are so hard to get? They must have some watches you can just walk in and buy if the store is only rolex

>>17378130
They do servicing/Bracelets repair, links. If it's an airport then they do indeed have watches they just store them for clientele

>>17378130
Rolexes aren't even hard to get right now. There are 3 models you can't walk in and buy and you can get two of them with a months wait.

>>17378135
>>17378135
>>17378135

>>17378130
They're not hard to get, only the 4-5 male watches are hard to get. The rest no one wants (gay/female watches).

>>17377881
I have always thought cheap microbrands are absolute dogshit, literally the worst of the watch industry. Clueless consoomers are getting fleeced so hard it's unbelievable.
