/fa/ - Fashion

Any other IWC chads in here? I think the Portuguesier Automatic is my dream watch. I absolutely love the Big Pilot but don't have the wrist for it, and I already own a Pilot which is my daily watch. Portuguesier will be my next major watch purchase

First for Moonwatch

>>17391181
>implying I can’t affoard a shitlex
Yeah nice projection faggot. I won’t overpay for a second hand bullshit and I’m white therefore gold or whatever niggers are wearing today isn’t for me.
Eat shit and post your rolex

You dumb niggers always get baited into replying to that retard and the whole thread degenerates

>>17391182
>>implying I can’t affoard a shitlex
>couldnt even afford the omega on a bracelet
sorry anon, sounds like i hit a soft spot. wear the speedy in good health

So I started saving up for this. In 2 months time I can get it since I got drained by this whole period of holidays. I do have another CW watch and they've been great so far, they have decent accuracy but this time I want durability and a watch I can take to swimming.

>>17391198
>1,095.00 USD
You could get a superior Seiko diver for less than half that price.

Can someone explain to me why you guys are into watches? Can't you just check the time on your phone, which is more accurate? Are you guys "into" watches just to flex your social status? Why would you need so many watches when all they do is just tell the time. There is nothing your watch can do that a phone can't.

>>17391202
I don't want soiko. :(

>>17391203
You wouldn't get it.

>>17391203
Personally i use gshocks. Solar power means i dont need to charge them. Radio controlled means they always have the correct time. They have useful info with barometers, depth meters, sea level etc. And yes i dive and hike.
Basically: they are reliable tools that need no power outlets to work, and are extremely resistant to being out in nature, unlike a shitty phone.

Is a Moonwatch a good one watch collection? Gonna sell all my shitters and buy this.

>>17391207
What shitters do you have?

Picked it up from the AD on Monday

>>17391203
It's kind of funny because I was lent an apple watch for like a whole week. I was so frustrated by the experience of a smart watch, but at the same time it introduced me to the world of wearing a time-keeping device on my wrist. If it wasn't for apple watch, I would have had 0 interest in mechanical watches.

>>17391209
Just seiko's, Casios, citizens, and bunch of microbrands.

>>17391193
Just got an offer that I couldn’t refuse and yet you still haven’t post your rolex.
I think you’re just a nigger

>>17391214

>>17391207
Yes

>>17391224

I hate basically all digital technology outside of computers and phones.
I hate how cars are so electronic these days your steering wheel isn't even connected to the wheels anymore. I hate how the refrigerator, vacuum, washer and dryer all connect to wifi now. I could go on and on.
I am a musician and while I enjoy how easy it is to record now, I lament that everything is going digital. I play a Les Paul through a tube amplifier and hate pedals. Stuff like that I am definitely a boomer at heart
Watches are the same way. Smart watches are trash, digital watches are trash. I just want analog stuff

>>17391239
no, i don’t think i will :)

>>17391215
>>17391240
Yeah my wrist looks super small in this pic, it’s 6.75in which isn’t that girly. AD had to remove two links from the bracelet.

I want this shit so bad

>>17391243
Because you’re just a baiting poorfag

>>17391246
Get this instead. Maybe not s&g

>>17391204
you will have soiko and you will like it

Why do faggots keep posting these ultra gay watches?

>>17391216
damn i would have ordered this in an instant if it was 4 or at least 2 mm smaller

>>17391203
They’re beautiful little nonsense machines

I solely collect vintage watches, if I don’t sell them I will be the person to steward many of mine to their hundredth year and there is something very special about that

>>17391247
if i were a poorfag i would be buying shitters like you

>>17391248
Looks good too, but I want the Omega. That watch, and I'll have my 4 watch collection complete.

>Rolex supplied watch movements to Nazis
Oh now I get the obsession over Rolex, people really do be considering themselves superhumans for owning one.

Invicta is at least 10000 year ahead at this point.

>>17391203
>Can't you just check the time on your phone, which is more accurate?
We're into watches, not time. Personally i like how they look and it's nice to know there are gears and springs making them go in some cases.

omega are terrible when it comes to QC. They had many misalignment issues with seamaster 300s and don't forget the pajeet tier quality with their shitty plastic moon rectum watches

>>17391326
That's how the romans themselves did it.

>>17391207
The plastic button will break eventually. Buy a Casio Lineage and be done with watches forever.

>>17391330
how does this respond in any way to >>17391326

Are you retarded, my son?

>>17391216
That's neat. I like the blackness of the dial and the fact that it's paired with a strong red and not some meh orange like usually. The hands and markers don't quite fit the watch, they could have been a bit more elegant, but overall it's nice.

Post unpopular opinions about watches.

Here's mine:
The best watches from each brand are always the simpler, thus the cheaper.
>Rolex Oyster Perpetual
>Cartier Tank
>Omega Aqua Terra
>Patek Calatrava
>AP Royal Oak jumbo
>JLC basic Reverso
>Grand Seiko SBGWs
>A Lange Sohne Saxonia
Even an absolute shit brand like IWC has some decent offering if you look at their cheapest watches.
2 or 3 hands, MAYBE a date window. That's it. Everything else is useless and vulgar.

>>17391203
First of all, believe it or not, not everyone grew up with a smartphone in their hands, I was wearing watches (cheap, silly ones) way before I ever got a cellphone. It's become something natural, if I leave my house without a watch on my wrist I feel naked, just ain't right.
Secondly, they are beautiful, complex, neat devices. To appreciate a watch is to appreciate more than just having another source for telling time, it's appreciating the design and the engineering behind it.
>Are you guys "into" watches just to flex your social status?
No, I hate that, that is nigger behavior. This is /fa/, I just want to dress nice and feel good about my outfit.
>Why would you need so many watches when all they do is just tell the time.
I currently own only one watch that I bought myself, a 1986 Seiko "datejust". Aside from that I have some 80's and 90's Citizen I was gifted.
>There is nothing your watch can do that a phone can't.

i wouldnt consider myself "into" watches and i only occasionally drop into this thread to lurk for memes, but i like wearing a wristwatch (i have a seiko 5 that i bought in japan) because it makes me feel like i'm valuing my time even if that isn't necessarily the case.

I personally got "into watches" because I went though a stage when I was 18 of buying EDC tools, so I had swiss army knives and a cigarette lighter even though I didn't smoke and some intelligent quartz Timex watch with a compass and some Casio, I guess as a tool watch before I knew what that was.

Now I have a Tissot PRX as my one and done, but I have a load of Chinese shitter tool watch homages I need to get rid of.

Gotten hate before claiming it’s to boring of a collection. Just doesn’t make sense atm to buy anything else when I have easy access to Rolex’s retail. Next watch will be a TT Cartier santos medium w/ pave diamond bezel.

Are there any modern jump hour watches better than the Andersen Jump Hour? I like Bovet a lot too but I think that their style is a little niche. I feel like the Andersen would look good on almost anyone.

>>17391716
wtf is this

>>17391713
Situation that hasn't and will never happen.

>>17391552
The GMT, it works with everything, a little flashy w/ the jubilee but not to much. I only wear the Daytona to weddings, big events, my busy season at work, ect.

>>17391553
I know is strongly considered the gold & green one if so. If I’m going gold watch I want it to scream GOLD.

>>17391716
Didn't knew this existed. What a beautiful guilloche.

>>17391716
Nice guilloche, but where are the minutes?

>>17391747
subdial it doesn’t have seconds. Used to be most high end dress watches didn’t have seconds displayed because people weren’t super autistic about having the exact time like they are now

>>17391568
It actually doesn’t tarnish or hasn’t yet desu. I’m a big silver bug & my house is filled with SS Holloware & flatwear so I’m constantly polishing stuff. I’ve had it for about a year and half now & looks the same as when I bought it, might jus tbe the light in the pic.

>>17391750
Ah i see.
That guilloche is so nice they could just make the whole dial from it, no hands, no windows, no time telling, nothing. Have a slim movement in the back just running in neutral.

>>17391599
Yeah I’m not a black sub guy, just too many around, it’s a nice watch but it’s like the patigonia vest of watch’s. Originally I wanted a TT DJ but had the gmt offered to me & couldn’t pass it up. I’m family freinds with my dealer & spend big $$ w/ him so I got offered the Daytona earlier this year, again couldn’t say no.

>>17391355
The cope is much smaller with an homage watch. You're not lying to yourself and others.

>>17391757
The ultimate fuck you watch. It measures time, but doesn't tell it.

>>17391775
KEK

>>17391577
Do you mean you have small wrists or that your hands are disproportionately huge and bony? If you have small wrists there are watches that will look good like an F91W or maybe some ladies watches. If you have big hands I don't think that matters when it comes to watches.

>>17391583
As a friend I'm telling you not to.

If you own a Rolex most people will look down on you, and they are justified to do so

>>17391799

Are you making fun of me? Terrorwave watches are fun and everything , but I would look like an incel. Ladies watches will make me look gay

>>17391810
Wrong. No richfag will be impressed by having a few grand in your wrist, thats not big money at all. If anything I will believe you are some wannabe middle class or new rich and cringe.

>>17391810
People poorer than you will assume you're trying to flex with a fake. People richer than you will not be impressed by the watch equivalent of a Toyota Camry.

By luxury watch standards, it's extremely common, but compared to the number of people who wear smartwatches or just use their phone, Rolex is comparatively rare.

Post some watches.

>>17391897

I really don't. You asked if Rolex was common and I gave you an accurate answer.

>>17391884
>Cool, if it wasn't for the QR code on the dial
True

>>17391914
Yeah, but it was a reply

>>17391897
I'm not sure how to fully describe it. It's a combination of engineering, design, unique look and character, how it all comes together, a lot of it is very irrational. I can definitely see why someone would immediately think of that one business card scene from American Psycho when listening to watch people. I'd never flex with a watch though cause that's just trashy and wigger tier. I enjoy them for myself.

>>17391920
Good answer, ig it’s like fashion. I never cared about it since recently either. Does it say Hitler?

>>17391924

>>17391920
I like how they paired the blue of the dial with a strong red and not some meh orange like usually.

>>17391932
Those small circles make me feel uneasy. Why do you even need seconds, aren’t they annoying? Something always moving so fast

>>17391583

>>17391920
>I can definitely see why someone would immediately think of that one business card scene from American Psycho when listening to watch people.
I've had that same thought.

So much of watch shit just ends up as flexing, for any number of reasons: some people actually do want to flex, some people really don't give a shit about anything but looks, some people don't only care about brand name, etc etc.

Every now and then, though, you get lucky and you can have a conversation with someone. Not here, though, obviously.

>>17391954
>Not here, though, obviously.
Obviously. This is a place of coping and seething, there can be no room for pleasant conversations and such nonsense. Cope and seethe.

rolex explorer is the ugliest rolex

How is the TAG Heuer F1 (41mm Quartz) for an entry level watch? I personally prefer quartz and have about 1.5k to splurge, I dig its design.

>>17391203

>>17391583

>>17391305
Always has been.

>>17391864
recessione means that ewwrynyan gonna be selling their rolexerinos!! trust the plan!! DIAMOND HANDS!!!

>>17391953
I think you should buy this watch and then do acid while wearing it. Kek

>>17391993
I have all the watches that I want now and for some reason I feel drawn to a silver dial carrera as an everyday watch and/or this one because the colour scheme reminds me of mars. It's cruel, everything tells me that I won't need either of them

>>17392002
I was gonna buy this but I got a Tudor Black Bay instead

>>17391993
Thanks. Quartz is just a bit more reliable to me, plus I’d use it as a beater/everyday watch most likely until I save up for a higher end watch. I just want to start somewhere and ditch the apple watch. My wirst is 7in but it’s narrower and girthier, hopefully it’ll fit.

>>17391987
If you want a swiss quartz there is also the longines VHP models.
You could also take advantage of the weak yen and buy a quartz grand seiko from japan for around the same money

>>17392004
probably a good decision. There are plenty of those now, I think the people who bought them underestimated how the rosé gold indices would look like

>>17392038
I thought it looked really nice in person and the bracelet felt good but felt the Tudor was more versatile. Also if I want to sell the Tudor later on value remains better anyway

>>17391713
No one will ever say nice ranger

>>17391203
i enjoy fashion and jewelry because it enhances my outward appearance. so watches are a part of that.

>>17391987
It’s a tag heuer quartz. It’ll keep good time and it has good build quality. My wife has a women’s quartz aqua racer from before we met. It still is in great shape even though it gets banged the fuck around her jewelry and shit.
You should also cross shop some quartz grand seiko. They have some pretty handsome models in that range.

>>17391332
>Casio Lineage
I'm really tempted. The black dial looks amazing, and titanium is pretty cool.

Talk me out of it, bro.

>>17391203
They're interesting pieces of engineering, socially acceptable men's jewelry, and discreet, focused tools. Psychologically, wearing a watch - even in the smartphone era - makes people more punctual.

You look like an asshole when you take out your phone when someone else is talking. Checking your watch is more discrete. A watch also won't distract you with a billion apps (smartwatches excepted).

>>17391742
>>17391716
Is that a heat blued dial? If so I can't stop cumming

>>17392110
Well the lume is bad, but you have a small light, but it doesn't light up the display, just the hands.
Only 50m of water resistance. I swimmed with mine a few times and it survived, so no worries.
Bracelet is a bit so so, but it does its job. Some markers can be a tiny bit off if you look closely, but nothing distracting.
The alarm becomes weak if you don't use it for a few years.
Other than that it's damn near perfect, especially considering the price.

>>17392122
>a phone would distract you with a billion apps
Sorry, but that sounds like a (You) problem.

This will be the state of my collection by the end of 2022, and I'm done buying watches for now.

>>17392151
And here's what I aspire to buy when I'm comfortable financially (my personal end game).

>>17392151
>all those integrated bracelets
why tho

>>17392155
Pic didn't get posted for some reason.

>>17392158
The oysterquartz/prx shape is my ideal watch.
G-shocks are comfortable and utilitarian.
The gold casio I wear when feeling extra.

>>17392159
You can easily ditch the Seiko from here and maybe get a dressier piece instead.

>>17391342
Rolexes are just extremely well-marketed Tudors and are only popular because the worst kind of famous people like to wear them and show off.

Omegas are literally only relevant because of the last ~30 years of James Bond movies, and are no better or worse than a Rolex (see above).

Neither Rolex nor Omega are worth purchasing because watches are status symbols. If you have to finance a watch (you probably do if you're buying Omega or Rolex), you're poor and should just wear a consumer/enthusiast watch. If you have enough to buy a Rolex or Omega out of pocket, you can afford a truly nice watch like an Audemars Piguet or a Breitling.

Lastly and mostly, any watch commonly known as a "Pepsi" or a "Hulk" is WILDLY tacky and you look like a child wearing it.

>>17392165
gold casio goat

>>17392171
The thing is - I don't dress up ever so I wouldn't get to wear anything dressier.

I also started on Seikos (I have a couple of non-functional Seiko 5s) so I'd like to have one in my final rotation.

>>17392178
It doesn't have to be dressy as such, just a watch you can put on a leather strap.

>>17392178
The Citizen and the Sinn can both do what Seiko does, and Seiko is worse than both of them. Unless you really like the look of it i'd suggest you save the money and buy one, good watch, in your case the Sinn.

I could swap out the Sinn for a Seiko Alpinist on leather but I'm afraid of the Seiko QC for anything more expensive.

I know squale is a redditbrand but this one is on my wishlist, it's overpriced but if I can get one used for a good price in the future I will

>>17392196
Swap the Citizen and the Seiko for a Sinn is what i am saying. Bettet to have one good watch than 3 mediocre ones.

>>17392202
Looks very cool. Why is Squale reddit?

>>17392214
arch hates the brand, the rodent loves them, they also do a lot of submariner homages

>>17392202
Do people really dislike Squale? I just thought it was that disgusting english subhuman.

>>17392211
>Better to have one good watch than 3 mediocre ones.

To me there's no better or worse. I like all those things aesthetically, which is why I'm considering eventually getting them.
Also I like variety, and I find the Sinn the least versatile out of them. I'd wear the Seiko and the Citizen diver with a hoodie (which is what I wear during the winter 95% of the time) for example, but probably not the Sinn.

>>17391349
>No, I hate that, that is nigger behavior. This is /fa/, I just want to dress nice and feel good about my outfit.
So you're a nigger who hates himself?

What % of your monthly salary would you comfortably spend on a watch?

>>17392229
I heard you should only spend about a months worth of salary on a watch. Ive pretty much followed that except for when I got my holiday bonus and bumped it up an extra 50%

>>17392229
20

>>17392229

You poorfags are so funny.

>>17392224
I see what you mean.

>>17391399
this surprised me

decided to wear my variant today for the first time in a while, and thought i've never even considered swapping out the titanium bracelet, now i'm going to have to play around with it

as an aside, the guy at >>17392110 wanted talked out of the 1A

apparently the 1AER in pic related has a slightly better case, which sits more comfortably on wrist; something to do with the lug-to-lug proportions

>>17392250
> thought

though

fx

>>17392250
It's more sporty looking, i prefer the more elegant look of the m170. It's pretty thin anyway at 9mm so it fits me nicely.

>>17392269
yeah, got to admit yours looks stunning on the black strap; i was pretty new to the hobby when i picked it up a couple of years ago and now i'm wondering if i'd have preferred that

>>17392280
This isn't mine, i got the photo from the internet. I have a stainless steel black PVD coated one with a negative display.

>>17392300
ah really nice, man

>>17392241
how did you earn your wealth anon? Blood, sweat, and tears?

>>17392311
Yeah yours :)

>>17392320
alrighty if you didnt earn it you didnt earn it

>>17391549
its a nice collection. i can see how it could be boring to some people, maybe predictable is more accurate. Id be itching for a dressier watch if that were me after all those very similar diver esque models tho. Santos is probably the most dressy sports watch there is, but thats not saying a whole lot.

>>17392228
I dress for myself only, and I do it the way I feel comfortable. Some items like watches and boots I accept paying more for a specific brand, they can be life-lasting items.
I do not, however, buy expensive brands trending on tiktok with money I don't have so I can pretend I'm rich and post pics wearing said brands on instagram.
by the way what the fuck are you on about, my watch is a fucking 86 Seiko worth 40 bucks if that, and it doesn't even have the seiko logo on the dial, the motherfucker fell off, how is this flexing social status? cocksucka

>>17391259
>beautiful little nonsense machines
That's actually a really good way to put it.

>>17391149
Fuck yeah man. They’re beautiful watches. Someone tried to sell me a fake one for 1500. The indices and numbers were askew and nothing lined up right

>>17391203
It’s like the difference between a man who knows good bourbon and one who drinks lite beer all the time. If you’re a man of class/culture you appreciate the finer things like watches, cars, bourbon, luxury stuff, etc. that breed of man is dying fast but we’re still around

>>17391553
It's an option for the Black Bay now.

No. You should know. Gay nigger faggot.

>>17392449

Pretty sure there isn't a silver bracelet yet. Though some guy from Fratello chucked one on a Uncle Seiko Jubilee and it looks decent enough.

Chew door Bareback or Pelagos 39?

>>17392494
you will look like you can’t afford a submariner regardless of which one you choose so it doesn’t matter

>>17392494
Pelagos 39 would be my pick. First titanium watch that I've liked the look of.

>>17392496
you will look like a hyper flamboyant faggot with your submariner, and as such you will be targeted by the biggest bear bottom breeders around

>>17391207
>one watch collection
Of all the terms thrown around in the watch community, this is by far the most retarded one.

>>17392505
that applies to all divers, not just the sub(missive)mariner

>>17392521
I like what you did there.

>>17392482

Yes, consume and follow society standards and eventually you will become man of ((((class))))

>>17391146

>>17391734
Totally agree. I also have both a Daytona and GMT batman (oyster). I only wear my Daytona these days during big events. GMT is an everyday watch. It's great.

>>17392558
wow, you sound like fun, bro

>>17392558
A man of class looks for finer things to consume or enjoy. Consuming and enjoying finer things doesn't make you a man of class.

in the previous thread we were talking about comfy collections and someone mentioned people that occasionally wear a nice dress watch every once in a while and that's it. This didn't make any sense to me, but I have been giving it some thought and it's actually dawning on me how genius this is.

The comfiest way to own a dress watch is to have a simple 3-handed with no other complications (no dates, no days, etc), it would have to be hand-wound movement. power reserve could be the minimum acceptable. the idea is that whenever you need to wear your dress watch, you handwind it and set the time for the day. that's it. then you put it back in its box and let it stop ticking until the next occasion when you repeat the process. makes so much sense!!

A crown fit for a king.

I'm looking around for christmas gifts for ~$200. Diver or dress watches, any type of movement, leather straps preferred. Seiko 5s look like a decent candidate - you fellas have other suggestions?

>>17392774
I recently purchased an Orient Kano for a family member for around $150 on amazon, was a pretty good deal. There are "better" watches at $200 but they seem a bit gaudy or too busy. The Kano is a solid, matte black, brushed steel no-nonsense watch. Pretty proud of my selection.

>cheapo 90s swatches look better than most of the shit getting released today for 20x the price

is there at all of risk of getting shitty reps through amazon?

I saw a overweight balding middle aged guy stocking shelves at Target once but more than anything else his face portrayed the single most worn, defeated despair I have ever witnessed on a human visage, far beyond the most award winning tragedy film, while I was there wearing my Rolex and Yeezys.

For just a moment I was riddled with euphoria feeling truly above someone.

All memes aside, how much of a cope is Tudor?

I live in Japan. Every dude over the age of like 25 wears a watch here. 90% of the time it's steel bracelet with a black or blue dial but the more out-there ones will wear shit with like orange rubber straps or even canvas. I'm gonna start paying attention to brands and report back on my findings in a few weeks .

By and large women almost all use smartwatches, with Apple watches being the most popular.

>>17393014
Likely unpopular opinion here, but not much. They've made more interesting watches in the past 5 years than Rolex has in the last 20, but they'll likely never get out of the big crowns shadow.
Don't get me wrong, I like Rolex but the model's that speak to me personally are all vintage and therefore basically unobtainable, or at least not at the prices that I think they are actually worth.
>>17393017
Love to visit and suss out the watch shops in Japan, not much in the way of bargains from what I've heard but loads of really unusual stock compared to what I see down in Melbourne.

>>17393022
>not much in the way of bargains from what I've heard

Pretty much. I don't know how it compares to Australia's watch market but the difference between prices for Japanese watches in Japan and in America is more negligible than I expected.

what kind of watch does your coworker wear?
your direct manager?
your boss?

Omega DeVille Prestige vs Ball Engineer III. I’m torn between these two watches, I just want a sub3k chronometer

>>17393063
I work at a pharmacy store. The main manager doesn't wear a watch. One of four managers below him wears an old fitbit after his other watches batteries died (all the info I have) and one co worker who's an older Hispanic wears a black fossil watch. I'm the only one there wearing a mechanical watch.

>>17391242
Honestly anon I feel you. And this is coming form someone who wears a smart watch daily. I've started getting tired of it. Nothing beats the aesthetics of normal watches.

Do you have any recommendations for automatics for a beginner in the watch space?

What piece is the new CEO of FTX, John Jay Ray III, wearing in the congressional Hearing?

Bonus points for the watch behind him.

I stumbled in here a month ago asking some questions about an old watch I was gifted by my father. You anons pointed me in the right direction and I was able to get a strap to replace the old velcro one and install a new battery in it. It works great and I've already been able to get some use out of its rotating bezel. Thank you to the anons that assisted me!

He's not technically in my branch anymore, but I've at least seen that his is pretty tasteful when he's not wearing an Apple watch. It's something with a blue dial and brushed steel with a pretty plain brown leather strap. I've been trying to get a proper look at it for a bit
>boss
He doesn't. My boss is kind of a huge tasteless blooter and I think he's only in his position because he's been there forever and kisses the right asses. He consistently wears shit like beat up sportsball hoodies, ill-fitted jeans, Seinfeld sneakers, etc.
