>>17378132

>>17378157
>So what about a Milgauss or submariner?
Miligauss - walk in and buy, maybe wait a week for them to order one because its not a huge seller
Submariner no date - walk in ask for one, they might just have it otherwise wait a couple weeks
Submariner date- walk in and ask for it, maybe wait a month or two.
Things are totally different from how they were six months ago when everything had a crazy waitlist

>>17378157
How the fuck do you have so much money while being so retarded?

>>17378157
They may not have them in stock but you shouldn't have to wait for more than a month for any but the most popular models (steel GMT, Daytonas, Day-Dates).

Other models that are hard to get will be some particularly rare color combinations for Datejusts, plus some models they simply do not build many of, regardless of them not being popular, like Yachtmasters or Sea-Dwellers. (They may have one in the case but if they don't, it may be a bit of a wait.)

Explorers, Subs, common OPs or DJs, though. If they don't have any in stock, you'll not have to wait more than a couple weeks to a month.

I don't know if you watch Bruce Williams on YT. His reviews are meh, but he seems to be having a psychological crisis on a daily basis, like he feels guilty about his watch collection but can't stop himself from constantly flipping watches.

>puts tourbillion on the dial because its not visible from the front
Even 100k+ luxury watches are crass and vulgar

I've been thinking of getting a Nomos club for ages but I'm also a big fan of cushion cases. Will I regret getting this Farer instead of a Nomos from a pedigree/quality standpoint? I have a couple of microbrand watches but no "real" German or Swiss watches.

>>17378205
Nomos watches are extremely nice for what they are, even better if you buy used with a significant discount.
Farer watches are fun and i like a few of their designs but they are still just a microshitter brand.
The answer is to buy what you like. If you feel like the pedigree of an in-house movement will increase your enjoyment of the watch then that is something to consider.

>>17378205
I strongly recommend buying the Nomos, and buying it used. It will completely mog the Farer in every respect. I would also strongly recommend trying on the Club in person first if you haven't already because the lugs are big and the watch wears way different than its dimensions imply.

Anybody bought a Vostok recently? Pic related looks like as good of a driving watch as you can get for a hundred bucks but I don't wanna be put on a list for using KremlinPay or something.

>>17378216
>>17378208
Thanks I have had these thoughts, considering 4channel is the only place I ever talk about watches I'm not too concerned with the movement but there is a store that carries Nomos near me so I better go try a couple on before getting too carried away.

>>17378176
he is a chronic watch cycler yeah, should be plenty obvious from how much he gushes about a watch before buying it then copes about being an “experience collector” after he flips.

>>17378222
I just bought one last week and today I'm posting from prison buttrape central. Checked.

>>17378231
>there is a store that carries Nomos near me so I better go try a couple on before getting too carried away
Yeah that is a good choice
Its amazing how different stuff looks both in pictures online and in person, plus the fit, you will know once you get some hands on them.

lmao @ homos posters

>>17378233
At least he buys some good stuff sometimes. I can empathize with the anxiety he feels about a big collection and not being able to get enough wrist time with each piece.

I know, for myself, if my collection were somehow destroyed today, when I got the insurance check, I would replace it all with a plain-Jane white gold, black dial Day-Date and never think about watches again.

Current SOTC, sorry for potato quality. Yema just arrived and I'm pretty happy with it.

>>17378304
Interesting, i like that you got the hked version of that chronograph and not the one with the red star on it.

>>17378222
I got a used Amphibia the other day but that's probably not what you're talking about

There's probably a huge surplus of Vostoks now that were pulled off of Russian corpses since February so it's a buyer's market

>>17378275
he buys lots of good stuff, he’s just mentally ill and constantly chases the dopamine high of a new purchase.

Yes airports have regular clientel, especially hubs where wealthy people travel frequently like the one in Qatar.

What's the closest I could get to a watch like this that's in production today? I'm looking at price but also a tough movement.
>Sub-$500 USD
>80's-style case shape is not a must but could be a plus
This is just an image I found on google by the way, that's why this watch is in the shape it's in.

Have to get it serviced. I'm not sure if to make a gold bracelet or go for leather. It's 18kt gold

>>17378222
Some of them ship from Ukraine or Lithuania, so just pick one of those and you'll be fine.

>seller is 5 years on eBay with 100% positive transactions
it still strikes me that something is off here. Why would they do an auction instead of fixed price with suggestions? Makes sense if they have friends that bid on the auction to raise the price and prey on actual buyers to spend more than they should.
Could it be stolen, even if it comes with box and papers?

Hi anons. My father just showed me my family's heirloom pocket watch. Can you help me get a sense of how much the item is worth?

It's a vintage Omega watch like the picture. Minute and hour hands, and a dedicated seconds dial near 6 o'clock. All gold with jewels in the movement. Unlike the picture, our watch doesn't have an engraving or a movement window on the back, it has my great-great grandfather's name inscribed. It keeps time just fine, but the seconds hand has stopped due to a problem with its gear.

>>17378537
Very very nice. Don't polish, bring to a decent watchmaker and have him put in a new crystal, save the old one and buy a decent leather strap, those start at 60 bucks and can be as expensive as you'd like them to be.

>>17378901
Are you for real? It's not worth more than $500 at best. LOL family heirloom.

>>17378876
Yes, who cares?

>>17378901
pocket watches retain zero value. If its solid gold it will be worth whatever that gold is worth. It if isn't solid gold, then its basically worthless. Might get a few hundreds bucks, maybe even near 400-500 but that is it.
>>17378885
tissot has some decent value, not every watch needs to be worth thousands

>>17378901
imagine being so fucking poor that your 'family heirloom' is like $400-500 lmfaooooooooooo do you live in a fucking hole in the ground in fucking india lolllllll you live in the shitter hole people shitting on your head roflcopterrrrrrrrr

>>17378918
>>17378912
It *is* a heirloom: an old watch that was worn by long dead family members a long time ago. It may be worthless in monetary terms, that's what I was trying to determine posting here. Do you have to be so rude? I make like 200k a year if you must know.

>>17378915
>pocket watches retain zero value.

I see. I wonder why that is.

>the year is 2045
>"my dad just gave me this family heirloom. When I asked him about its history he just said 'War never changes.' Was it a military watch?"

>>17378923
then fucking buy a real heirloom to leave your children and forget this shit ever existed
just buy a vintage patek and pretend your pisspoor immigrant third world family left you something good from the old coutnry

>>17378924
this cannot fucking be real lmao, a fallout richard mille

>>17378923
The reason why really is that they are completely obsolete and nobody wants them. They break easily because the movements have zero shock absorption, and unless you are dressed in a more classical suit (at the bare minimum) you will look extremely goofy wearing one
>>17378926
>le only value is monetary
dude just shut the fuck up, you are retarded

>>17378926
Are you stupid? You don't buy heirlooms. They are passed down through generations. That's what makes them heirlooms. Maybe it's worthless to everyone else, it's still an item that matters to us.

>>17378935
That makes sense. We don't wear the watch anymore for the reasons you cited, and you're absolutely right about the unreliability. I assumed mechanical watches would last forever but I was surprised to see the seconds hand no longer worked at all.

Thank you for the polite reply.

>>17378937
>>Are you stupid? You don't buy heirlooms. They are passed down through generations.
Yeah they just materialize from thin air fucking moron.

>>17378943
That's right, they don't. I could buy a fancy $100k watch literally right now if I wanted to, it still wouldn't be the one exact watch my ancestors wore.

>>17378933

watch noob here. never really been into watches but what should i go for to start my watch journey? got a poorfag budget of like $200. i like the kamasu

>>17378947
the potin is you're ancestors are shit and you have to rpetend you got a better heirloom so buy something from the smae era that's actually worth it that's the point how the shit are you so thick that you don't get it just buy and pretend and throw this fucker away from a bridge

>>17378951
the smiley one and the sexpest one are more tasteless, but i cannot imagine who exactly the fallout one would appeal to. a 0.1%er bethesda fanboy who also collects watches?

>>17378876
Go for it.

>>17378954
My ancestors were great men and women. Better than yours, apparently, since we learned how to value family and while you didn't even learn how to properly spell.

>>17378952
kamasu is fine

>>17378961
yeah that's why they wore a $450 watch lmfoamoooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaa they had to share it between them because they couldn't afford a watch each so every day it was in a different ass hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>17378965
Not that anon but you really are shallow.

>>17378954
>>17378965
you are a massive faggot and your posts speak to how much of an insecure little bitch you are lmfaoooo

>>17378965
My ancestors were rich as fuck actually. Obscenely rich. We're still wealthy today but not like we once were because they had many children and all the wealth and lands was divided equally among them.

I bet they just didn't feel the need to buy a fancy watch for affirmation. They were real men, respected by the entire town. Not a little worthless bitchy faggot like you.

>>17378971
where are the gifts then lmfoa
they would have had a basment full of gifts they got if they were worth anyhting to the community retard

>>17378972
Oh don't worry, we do... Even I have.

Are there any quartz shitters that look like a Tank for around $60?

>>17378973
but none of them are watches right ok lmfao lol lying tard
and you ton'd know anything about watches or anything luxury despite being from a rich family for the last 200 years
ok
lmfaooo

>>17378978
That's right, I'm not particularly educated about watches. That's the reason why I came here to ask. I'm not even sure if the pocket watch was valuable at the time it was bought to be honest.

Sorry to disappoint you but my family is quite humble despite our wealth. We're not ostentatious. Nobody knows we own 30+ homes, and that's just my parents. I could literally live off rent if I wanted to but I still made something of myself because we believe men who can't make their own fortunes don't deserve their inheritance. We don't show off your wealth. We have nothing to prove to faggots like you.

>>17378987
well if you want an heirloom that will retain some value, and that they can wear, that guys suggestion of old Patek isn't a bad idea.

>>17378994
nah bruh he has his foundations built from golden jew teeth he doesn't need le watches he humble

>>17378995
You still come off as an absolute fucking faggot for shitting on someone just asking about his grandfathers pocket watch

>>17378994
True. It's definitely something to think about when I have children of my own. I've been lurking here for a while and seeing the good watches this general recommends and I do think I should buy one.

I just couldn't get over the suggestion to just throw away my family's watch though.

>>17378998
ok and

>>17378901
I'm going to say "not much" in that don't expect it to be worth tens of thousands or anything like that. I used to collect pockets, mostly English make but I recall some generalities. Basically anything with real worth is going to have one of the big names on it like Patek, Vacheron or Audemars. Things with odd complications like repeaters and sonnerie, even chronographs, are going to be in the thousands. A basic time only gold omega? I dunno. Maybe 2k and 2k is the dealer's price where they've serviced it and marked it well up. I haven't been keeping an eye on prices though, for maybe 12 years now.
Just have it repaired. Keep it. Never dream of selling it.

The new cushion case high beat model looked terrible in person. That said i really like the 37mm version of that watch and would buy one if it was a bit cheaper.

>>17379097
Thanks.

>>17379107
Looks decent but I guess I'd rather pay a bit more for the dial to say Seiko or something. Is that retarded? I just couldn't look at a watch that says "sanda" on it like all those random brand names the chinese come up with and cycle through.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. Thats why I poop, on company time

How’s your HKED running I’ve been thinking about buying one

Can I order a custom watch? Specify the features and look I want and get a custom watch that does what I need?

>>17379645

Carl F. Bucherer just announced a custom watch service last week. Not many details so far but I'd guess they'd be on the expensive side.

>>17379645
Bamford do some of that

>>17379667
>>17379690
any possible from good brands or does that end up being super-expensive and/or you have to be a celebrity or famous collector?

>>17379550
>don't care about females
I see you're a Homos enjoyer.

>>17379696
seconde seconde and bamford both customise watches for you. you could build one with parts that will work for you.

Any good high-beat automatics under $1,000?

>>17379703
anything with the miyota 90xx or sw200/clones
there's an over abundance of them

Nice watch btw.

Invicta Spongebob Edition. It's like Pepsi Rolex but better.

>>17379690
>>17379702
Just checked this bamford and the only customizations they offer is aesthetics. Literally colors on a pre-made watch. What if I want multiple complications? What if I want something other than a basic ass tachymeter? What if I want multiple cronograph scales and a slide rule? Disappointing.

>>17379923
Also what if I want a 24 hour dial?

>>17379925

Retard from the last thread with the fake watch. How do I tell that this is a fake watch compared to the real one? Please explain like you would a 5th grader because I know fuck all about watches. Pic related, watch in question

>>17380075
J O D Y watching now of course

>>17380080
Case looks cheap and poorly made and the dial, especially the lume, looks wobbly and cheap. It looks cheap and sloppy all around.

>>17380084
Thanks. Is there anything else I should look for when spotting fakes?

>>17380063
holy fucking reddit

>>17380089
I don't know. I don't know anything about watches. That just looked sloppy.

>>17380080
Apart from what he >>17380084 said Omega never made a watch that looks like this. Wrong hands, no applied hour markers, the printed white date window frame is missing, stainless steel bezel is also wrong.

I love my HAQ but going to even a 3hz movement is like butter to the eyes.

Oh you were serious. You know most people don't have a clear picture in their head when you say '116710' and I'm explaining this because you clearly have autism.

>>17378304
That Chris Ward looks excellent. The perfect watch aesthetic for me. This is my daily wear right now.

>>17379048
The 5610 is the king. I recommend buying a titanium case on Aliexpress and never thinking about getting another watch ever again.

>>17380172
then say black/blue gmt with X bracelet instead of being a faggot and naming off irrelevant capeshit?

Rate my Casios. 3/4 are modded.

>>17380169
kek

Another modded casio. More of an experiment this time. Yugioh watch.

>>17380185
Woops forgot pic.

>>17380179
1 - Casio World Time. Mods: Removed words from the case and face, added water slide decals to face, replaced polarizer on 2/4 segments to invert those panels, added color filters to change the colors of all panels, and hydromodded

2 - 5600bb not modded

3 - 5610, hydromodded (because you literally could not tell the time without doing this), and titanium case/bracelet from Aliexpress

4 - Bit of a meme, but I wanted a reverse panda style watch, so I changed out the chapter ring for a white one that glows in the dark (can now tell the time at night), plus changed the case for a Casioak case.

God you people make me feel old. I mean I am old, that's true, but jesus christ you don't need to rub it in like this

got a new strap and didn't realise it has a clasp. How do I adjust this? Do I just squeeze the sides of the rubber end in with a flat tool or do I need to take apart the clasp?

Boooooooring/10

>>17380204

Fucking autistic moron

>>17380218
You cut the rubber to the right length, that's what the indentations are for, spots to slice the rubber

>>17380218
You need a strap tool to remove the pin holding the strap in place.
You should probably just go to a jewlers and pay them $10 to size it for you. Make your you go to some jewler that isn't a complete retard. Find some old guy that sells watches.

>>17379343

>>17380176
I recommend literally any other G-Shock.

Watches that look like this and don't have a 24hour complication?

I wanted to get this one till I read that you lose like 10 seconds a day.

They make nice watches for the money you pay, and unlike with Nomos they actually retain most of their value in case you decide to sell.
Nomos is terrible value for what you get, and most of their watches can be had for 20%-ish in the second hand market.
Heck, there was a time when you could get a Nomos for less than 200 bucks, since so many were being sold by Siemens employees. Bought a bunch of them back then to flip, and don't regret not keeping one.

>>17380519
Not a fan of the hands but a beautiful watch regardless.

Are Tudors one of the only brands below Rolex prices that keep their price later down the line for trade ins?

>>17380204
Citizen is worn by boomer engineers and normies.

>>17380389
No idea. it says it's an automatic so if it works it might be worth keeping.

my local hole in a wall watch repair shop charged me like 10 bux to resize my bracelet, but i gave him 20 cuz i was absolutely happy with my new watch. I guess it's just a convenience thing but for $65 it better have been an extremely fancy shop in a really fancy area with insane rent for it to even begin making sense.

I feel like you should be able to get a respectable watch for 2-3k but it seems like you need to dish out atleast 10k. Am I wrong?

It's the same with everything, in my poor third world country you used to be able to buy a house for $50-100k, now the same ones are $300-400k.

Better than Rolex. Rolex are for weak, effeminate men while Hamilton are for real mean who get their hands dirty ya dig?

>>17380786 There are fantastic watches for under 1000, you just won’t hear about them in here because 4chan. Hamilton, some tissot, and seikos are fine watches. If I’m working with my hands I’m wearing my Hamilton or tissot. If I ding the shit out of it I can stomach a gouge on a -1000 watch. I keep all my pateks pristine for when I’m at a gala or having dinner with dignitaries
