Bros, I have a dilemma.

I'm looking to purchase my first haute horologie sports watch and I've fallen in love with the design of the blue dial Vacheron Overseas 4500V. The blue is the most perfect blue I've ever seen on a watch, the Maltese Cross logo being used in almost every design aspect of the watch appeals a lot to my sensibilities in visual design and art (namely cohesion and unity of form), and it's so much more elegant and restrained than the Nautilus and Royal Oak to me, which I think matches my personality and dress much better. The waiting lists at boutiques are still really long, but the gray market prices where I am are finally right. I'm ready to make my purchase.

There's just one minor problem. I think it looks just a little too big on my wrist. I have a 15cm/6.5inch wrist that lays fairly flat, but the 4500V Overseas is a 41mm watch that wears more like a 42 or 43mm watch and pushes the limits of what my wrist can handle. Pic related, take into account that there is minor lens distortion going on in this photo. I may be too used to my dad's old 36mm Datejust but this really does just feel too big. Or is my brain just playing tricks on me and a watch wearing like this on a wrist is fine these days?

Assuming it really is just a hair too big, I have come up with the following alternative solutions, none of which feel terribly satisfying.

17411701

>>17411700
Option 1: Buy the 4500V anyways and cope like it's not oversized for my wrist.

Option 2: Downsize to the 37mm 2300V. The main problem I have with this is that even without the diamonds, it still looks like a woman's watch with the tapered hands and the smaller cleaner dial.

Option 3: Complete wildcard option, buy a Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Rattrapante GMT instead, at 40mm and with a very useful dualtime complication for around the price of a gray market Overseas. I have not had the chance to try this one on in person yet but it should just barely fit my wrist given the Overseas feels like it just barely doesn't. My issues with this are that a): the design really does feel like it borders on too subtle and refined relative to the overseas and b): the watch has so many polished surfaces that it would drive me insane with how many fingerprints and scratches it would show after just a little daily wear.

Thoughts?

unfortunately, i do think that watch is too big for your wrist. Black line is the lugs and red is your wrists. Since the watch you want is a little too big I would not jump into a cope watch right away wait a few months and see if the parmigiani feels right still. I like that better than the small seconds overseas. Might want to wait until watches and wonders this year maybe VC will come out with a steal 222. I think that watch would be perfect for you

Nope, that one was discontinued a while back and I haven’t visited any gray market/used dealers that have one. Not exactly a common model.
>>17411731
Assuming there is some lens distortion going on this would mean the watch is just barely too big or barely alright, both of which I’m not terribly comfortable with. I feel like I need to try it on again and take some pictures at a distance to be absolutely sure if it really is too big or lens distortion is just fucking with my memory.
>wait a few months and see if the parmigiani feels right still
I’ve done a huge survey of every other integrated bracelet sports watch on the market and the Parmigiani is the only other one I could see myself wearing. Unless something new comes out I don’t see that changing. Speaking of something new,
>maybe VC will come out with a steal 222. I think that watch would be perfect for you
I’m assuming they will. The problem is that the gold 222 is already unobtanium and the steel one will unquestionably be even worse at this, even with hype watch prices depreciating. There will just be too long a waiting list with units obviously going to VIPS first and at the outset the gray market prices will be insane until more units enter circulation. So basically even assuming it ever reaches a healthy price I’m looking at a year after W&W2023 before I can probably even entertain getting my fucking watch which is kind of insane. And I haven’t added the part where I don’t really like the design of the 222 as much as the Overseas.

off topic but I don't like how dueling scars have been appropriated to just mean "freak" or "weirdo", the idea of supervillains having a dueling scar is that in the early 20th c, there were still people in central europe still getting them, so by the mid 20th c seeing a bad guy with a dueling scar implied that they were a member of the old aristocracy and therefore more intimidating/scary

a man with a scar on his face that resembles a dueling scar in the 21st c is just a larper and the use of scar makeup to make the bad guy look even badder is simply lazy and insulting to the audience

Hello /fa/, are there any additional infographics or guides available for poorfag watches (under 200eu)? I'm a 25 year old male working in the arts / culture sphere. I'd like something that looks refined but not too rich or bulky. Not interested in fast fashion / minimal looking shit. I like black straps, the material is not important.

One watch that I liked was the Orient Defender II Automatic RA-AK0404B10B. Is there anything similar, maybe cheaper?

Trying to decide between a Seiko presage cocktail time (Love the dial colors) and something I found called a Vario Empire watch(see pic)

https://vario.sg/collections/empire-watch-automatic

This would be my first serious watch purchase. Ive heard with the Seiko you should replace the strap and that the glass is hard quality is hardlex or something which is subpar.

I really like the design on the vario art deco ones and apparently they are good quality. What do you guys think?

This would be for wearing to work (somewhat fancyoffice) and for going out to restaurants and bars.

I'm torn. On one hand the Seiko has that color eye-catching dial that really appeals to me. From my research it appears to be a good watch in terms of what I am looking for.

I do like the Vario empire, but there are only 2 designs left and they aren't bad per se, its just the sold out ones (like the silver and gunmetal) that really look stunning. The irresponsible part of me would buy both lol.

>> No.17412093

>>17412074
If you value heritage go with Seiko, but if you're completely in-love with the look get the Vario. Hardlex iirc scratches more but doesn't crack, and from a quick google search I think you can replace it with an aftermarket sapphire crystal. I'm guessing you're very indecisive (like me) so you find this very difficult. At the end of the day, whichever you buy, you'll probably have a niggling feeling that will make you wonder what it would've if you had gotten the other watch. Just get one and buy the other a few months from now.

Or maybe go in-person in a shop and take a look at the Seiko. Might sway you.

also "hardlex" is just mineral glass, and mineral glass from any serious watch company is going to be more impact-resistant than sapphire, it wasn't an accident that the OG MM300 had hardlex, they only switched to sapphire because it was hurting sales and nobody actually uses those things for diving anyway. for a dress watch a case can be made for sapphire but calling mineral glass "subpar" is just ignorant

They're a dated design. They're stuck between new stuff that everyone wants and vintage stuff that everyone wants. They're also small and quartz. So basically nothing that the majority of the current market wants.

That said, though, they're definitely unique and we should never fault a company for wanting to push the boundaries of design. If you got one you'd probably get compliments on it from non-watch people simply because it looks so unique.

The GMT version of it is particularly cool, IMO.

It's a non-issue. A powermatic 80 is basically just an ETA 2824 (one of the most common Swiss automatic movements) with a free-sprung balance, that is laser regulated from the factory.
A free-sprung balance is always a little harder to regulate, but if it were that difficult, then Rolexes would be a massive pain in the ass to service. ("Bro, just take it to your local watchmaker, anyone can service a Rolex.")

It's a bit more complicated. Wrists are (practically) two-dimensional and uniquely shaped. For a general guide see picrel.
What i think matters more when determining the appropriate size of the watch is wrist width (how wide it is when looking at it from the top) and case diameter. You divide wrist width by phi (1.618) and you get your case diameter. Also the lug-to-lug distance should always be shorter than the wrist width so that the lugs don't hang over. Also take note that there are certain types of watches that are supposed to be bigger, like divers or pilot watches, and different watch shapes wear differently as well (one 40mm watch might look smaller than another 40mm watch).

still looking for a "signature" blue dial watch, after you guys helped me with the chart. I want to wear it with a suit. candidates are:

1) rolex datejust, either fluted or smooth bezel and jubilee bracelet.
pros: I want a rolex at some point, might also get a two-tone 80's style one
cons: smooth bezel may be too bland, fluted to gaudy. I hate the cyclops lense

2) tudor royal
pros: pretty unique
cons: could also be too gaudy

3) longines master - my favourite so far
pros: the moon phase is something different, no date complication
cons: it's quite boxy, would rather go with the 38mm version and 20mm bracelet

4) longines record
pros: slim, interesting bracelet
cons: date complication looks out of place

you’re doing something that doesn’t affect them at all. but you know what would affect them? buying it and then turning around and making a profit on their asses, because they WILL know that you specifically flipped it once the serial number is registered under a name that isn’t yours, and using an allocation to make a profit is a massive fuck-you to boutiques. if you’re gonna get back at them, do it in a way that actually matters.

it’s simple, no one really cares about your moral grandstanding about how you’re “too good to do business with the shop”. like yeah, no shit, most of us would just walk out the door at the first sign of a bad attitude smartass, you’re not clever for suggesting that. the more interesting discussion centers around how best to handle the situation once you already have your allocation sitting there waiting for you to pick it up in spite of the boutique making you walk barefoot over glass to get it. the fact that you missed this in your grandiose attempt to virtual signal is kinda sad and quite frankly makes you a terrible conversationalist more than anything.

It is not moral grandstanding, it is about not getting anyone wipe their shoes on you. (you) should be the person, who cares about that, anon.

> like yeah, no shit, most of us would just walk out the door at the first sign of a bad attitude smartass, you’re not clever for suggesting that

I somehow get a vibe you would not.

>the more interesting discussion centers around how best to handle the situation once you already have your allocation sitting there waiting for you to pick it up in spite of the boutique making you walk barefoot over glass to get it.

That is already losing position. What you do it try not to be in losing position to begin with, as I said before. You don't take disrespect when it is not warranted.

>the fact that you missed this in your grandiose attempt to virtual signal is kinda sad and quite frankly makes you a terrible conversationalist more than anything.

I just red the pasta about guy getting shit on by Rolex store and shared my opinion that this should not happen with a self respecting man.

You got triggered by our conversation anon, that's not on me.

and it’s all you care about when it’s the blatantly obvious and there are more interesting discussions to be had. do you ever get tired of hearing yourself talk?
>I somehow get a vibe you would not.
i would and i in fact did when i got dogshit service at a local AP AD. i already implied that earlier, i guess it has to be spelt out loud since subtlety is clearly not your thing.
>That is already losing position. What you do it try not to be in losing position to begin with, as I said before. You don't take disrespect when it is not warranted.
and right away you miss the fucking point. are you incapable of conjecturing hypotheticals or something? are you one of those people that don’t have an inner monologue or struggles to visualize a red apple?
>Did you get similar experience with the Rolex store as the guy in the pic?
i have been to a rolex store to buy my own watch once in my life, indicated my interest on some models, left, and forgot about it because rolexes are boring and i moved on to greener pastures soon after. nothing terribly interesting.

Then why are you so triggered about all of this?

To the situation where guy got shit on, or hypothetical similar situation. No, it is not a good plot for

It's a situation, but nothing much can be said apart of

It's like saying "Lets have an interesting discussion about how to navigate in the situation where you want to date a single mom with 3 kids"

So stop getting all heated up about that.

because i wanted to have an entertaining discussion about shitty AD behavior and instead got an idiot repeating himself over and over about not doing business with shitty ADs in the first place, as if anyone would bother to even disagree.
>It's like saying "Lets have an interesting discussion about how to navigate in the situation where you want to date a single mom with 3 kids"
yes that could in fact be a very funny hypothetical for discussion, provided all parties involved have some creativity and a sense of humor. clearly that’s not the case here.

hi you guys, wanna buy my father a nice watch for his 55 birthday (I'm sure some of you will call it shitter but that's life). Pic related is the one his wife send me as the one he likes to wear most lately (he's got quite a few watches, like to collect them), anyway, can any of you guys tell me what model this watch is - it looks like something I'd like to wear myself.

forgot to mention I'm probably going to get him some tissot, also if any of you care any advice is highly appreciated

ok, I just had to check what does sector dial dress watch looks like. On top of being a retard I'm also a total noob when it comes to watches - it's just he gave me one of his watches last year and it slowly but steadily gathered my interest. Now I want to buy him something nice and later on buy myself a new watch (maybe automatic) once I get my yearly bonus
