Feel free to post in the thread promoting some wannabe e-celeb faggot.

Grand Seiko or Omega?
>inb4 "durrrr I'd get something else"

>>17421204
soiko or omegay? i'd shoot myself first.

>>17421221
Soiko then?
Being s*y is more acceptable than being a fag.

You can go back from being soi.
You can't go back from being gay.

>>17421204
Any model in particular? Omega is a safer bet than GS but a bit boring. Buy the one you like more. Btw did you know that they made another one with the same dial but in green/blue?

>>17421233
you can though, Milo Yiannopoulos did exactly that

>>17421233
hard to go back after committing to a watch that epitomizes either one.
>>17421236
LMAO very funny

>>17421192

>>17421234
I've tried both brands at my local AD.
The only Omega I liked was the Aqua Terra 38mm.
There were severals GS that I liked. Don't remember their name, but they were all on steel bracelet and had textured dial.

>>17421242
the aqua terra's dial is fucking ugly and anytime i see someone who likes it i instantly know they have no fucking taste.

>>17421243
It's the first day of 2023 anon.
Is this really how you want to start a new year?

>>17421245
is having abhorrent taste how YOU want to start the new year?

>>17421249
Okey then, suggest a watch for me in the 8k-10k range.
(you probably won't answer to this post because people like you aren't comfortable with their own taste)

>>17421242
>Aqua Terra
I had a feeling it was this one, yeah.

>>17421256
you’re right, i’m not going to answer it because i’m not here to spoonfeed you and also i like to watch you squirm.

>>17421261
Wrong. You won't answer me because you know people will laugh at your taste.

>>17421265
why would they do that when i have way better taste than you? lmfao

>>17421267
Because that's how these threads work.
Every time someone posts a watch (even a Patek or whatever), there's always at least one retard who will make 10 posts about awful it looks.

>>17421271
not really no, you just have shit taste and it shows. speak for yourself buddy.

>>17421272
Let's try it then.
Post your $150 Orient and see how people react to it.

>>17421277
why would i post a shitter that i don’t own? roflmao

>>17421279
>I-I don't own a cheap watch I swear
Sure.

>>17421282
already coping i see, that didn’t take long.

whats the /wt/ approveed patek nautilus cope watch?
tudor royal?

>>17421204
Omega all the way.
Gay Sexko is for losers.
>inb4 s o y b o y tears

>>17421204
GS is objectively a better watch but will make you look like you spend way too much time online

Omega is NPC tier which might not be such a bad image to project if you are buying a watch for image unless your image you're going for is picrel guy

>>17421301
>GS is objectively a better watch but will make you look like you spend way too much time online
Why? It's not like GS can only be bought online.
The GS corner at my AD is the same size as the Omega one.

>>17421313
Sounds like you're pretty comfortable being the "actchyuly grand seiko is the fastest growing luxury watch brand of the last 5 years, oh btw luxury watch means $5k+ usd, their actually made in a completely different factory in nagano its haute horlogerie they even polish the underside of the second hands not just some cheap japanese quartz like you probably think but oh speaking of quartz did you know that grand seiko quartz are also tl;dr" meme guy

Just keep in mind normies don't care

>>17421322
Normies will be impressed by the dial and how shiny GS look.

>>17420894
>>17421273
I bet this listing also sells with papers and/or box, possibly also with a "authenticity guarantee" by the dealer. What can you do in this case except doubt each listing and have it checked by a watchmaker? You can of course buy at the AD and wait ages for it

>>17421341
Yes they will think it's pretty, until they hear the word "seiko" and then they will instantly downgrade it in their mind and faintpraise it

>>17420894
You can always tell a europoor because they think credit card = spending beyond your means

>>17421184
Literally JUSTdown watches that he gets scammed on by a factor of 100%.

>>17421204
>Omegalol
More known and will get you noticed, but lesser quality and that "known" is for being the Rolex alternative for poor people or old people
>Grand Onions
Better watch by a mile, but only autist, cunts, or Seiko superfans know about it. If you like it then get it, but don't expect anyone to care

>>17421359
>the Rolex alternative
That's tudor

>>17421361
Tudor is the Rolex poorfag cope (that's the whole point of the brand).
Omega is the Rolex "couldn't wait 3 months" cope.

>>17421361
Tudor is the "Rolex Alternative®" Omega is THE Rolex alternative

>>17421359
Let me tell you goys, I tend to drop my watches all the time so I have field tested how bad you can bitchslap a watch. I dropped my Tudor black bay when I was drunk in an airport and that shit fucked up my movement, bashed in the crown at just a 3 foot drop. The omegalul planet ocean I dropped on tile from 6 ft in the air directly onto tile off of a shelf and it didn’t give a single fuck. The quality as far as durability of some omegas is actually pretty impressive. You can toss it on the ground then chuck it in an MRI machine and it still works. Omega is a gay brand for lots of reasons but the build quality in my experience was sturdy. I never dropped my rolex but the tudors shatter and are pretty delicate short of the Pelagos which has anti-shock protection for the movement. The bezel has been reported to shatter however.

>>17421371
Makes sense, Tutor is pretty much buying an official Rolex bootleg that you could've gotten from any Flea market or Bazaar for like 20 bucks

>>17421367
Depends tbqh on why you are buying an omega or Tudor. They both make some unique pieces nothing like a Rolex and Omega has some watches which are complete imposter cope at the same price of a Rolex for the white market.

Are sinn a hipster tryhard meme? I wanna spend 1.5k max on my first "real" watch, and I drift between hamiltons, muhle, and recently sinn. I want a transparent back and readable clean design +some durability.

I like Tudor

>>17421374
I'm going to ignore your meaningless terms "tryhard" and "hipster" and just say they're microbrand-adjacent but their oil filled case gives them credibility. They don't appeal to me but I'd rather have a sinn than a hammy.

Transparent casebacks are cringe unless there's something worth looking at inside. At that price range about your only option for something with anything worth looking at inside is homos

>>17421377
Why nomos are homos amongst 4chan connoisseurs?

>>17421389
Nomos = homos because somewhere in an obscure press release many years ago some homos marketing person said racism = bad and this is VERY reddit and /b/ never forgives or forgets

>>17421401
Understandable and very reasonable, thank you.
On a side note, I would appreciate any advice on the topic of purchasing said first big boy watch due to being a noob.

What watch does Sam Malone wear in Cheers? I can't figure out what it is. Thanks in advance.

>>17421403
Try some on in a store and for the love god don’t buy something which is significantly more retail in the store, it hurts brotha, generally second-hand online is the way.

Take your time, lurk, read, try in in person then decide.

>>17421366
Got news for you brotha, you ain’t even on a waitlist for most Rolexes unless you give a ton of money to them buying items you don’t want.

Playing the Rolex games are insane. I went through it, owned 3 of them, and then got rid of all but one of them. The watches are good but nothing as special as the hype would make you believe. It’s an underwhelming experience to own one. Piece of advice for everyone is don’t underestimate how truly underwhelming a rolex is, and the people you will be associated with if you own one.

I used to think JLC, Lange, blancpain were a bit underwhelming looking for the money when I first looked at watches totally new to the hobby, but the more understated watches grew on me.

TLDR Rolex is hype and you go through either sucking off an AD or paying gray to look like a douche for a watch which usually has no complications or wow-factor beyond owning it for a few weeks.

>>17421410
Well, I kinda did the exact thing. Liked some seikos, tissots were too sterile (almost boring), muhle was kinda cool but quircky... Then I started lurking here and its the usual rabbit hole, something apparently is inherently shit, something is tryhard, nomos=homos, other - npc tier.
And like with all things in life, 4chins overcomplicated things, and I need validitation from anonymous Taiwanese jigsaw image board.

>>17421422
Yeah i figured all the screaming voices were clouding your judgment. My advice is find the watch you love once you try it on, get the best price, and fuck everyone else. People here who have a lot to criticize often have no idea what they’re talking about, or just plain old trolling. You will intuitively know the watch you want when you try it on.

>>17421408
looks like an L.L.Bean Hamilton field watch to me

>>17421428
Figured as much. 4chan is a great place to go full autism, but in overall scheme of things, its cumbersome and tiresome.
I still cant leave all these years

>>17421455
I fucked up.

>>17421432
Woah thanks I think you nailed it

>>17421468
no worries, anon

>>17421422
I buy what makes me happy. I don’t like tissot much except for the visodate. I got it in the mail a week ago and am obsessed with it. I have 7000 watches in my collection and I will wear the 650 tissot way more. Anyone who catches a glimpse says something about it 10/10 times. I’m looking into the Hamilton panda too because I just like it. Watches get really fun when you don’t care what other people think. I also like some nomos designs. You’ll catch the richest people on earth wearing and driving stuff way below their financial limit because they like it.

Are there any fun watches left to buy (secondhand) that aren't completely inflated in price?

I'm so tired of looking at older Raketa's or Seiko's and seeing the prices gone up to $300 or $1000.

>>17421545
Why would there be? They're not for poor people, nothing is for poor people anymore, everything went up in price so that you can only enjoy it if you're a NWO shill.

>>17421389
The CEO is a Jew who made all employees to take 'inclusiveness seminars' or something like that. They also openly support the LGBT+ movement.

>>17421504
if you have 7000 watches it takes you about 2 years to wear each one of them if you change daily. where do you store them all? do you have some multiple times if you have 650 tissot watches?

I hate the rotating diver ring on watches so fucking much. it ruins the entire aesthetic of a watch.

>>17421565
there are tons of models that are not divers

>sell cope watches with shitter quality
>charge at least 3k for a watch

>>17421591
I mean if you buy a Steinhart for 500 that's cope, but buying this one for 5k is just idiotic

>>17421562
I think he meant $7000

Can you recommend a watch for me, please? (I was 13 last time I wore one)
I'd like something thin, rectangular, with an art deco style.
I give zero fuck about brands, or if it's used.

>>17421603
Rolex.

>>17421603

>>17421603

>>17421615
Looks good, but there's no way I will spend 3500$ to get the time of the day.

>>17421618
Then get one of the """"Homages""""" like the Seiko SUP250

>>17421603
jaeger-lecoultre reverso. they come in multiple sizes, so it's best to try them on to see which fits you best.

>>17421618
i have the perfect watch for you then: your phone. go “get the time of the day” using that, faggot.

>>17421603
picrel matches your description perfectly but i'm sure you can't afford it

>>17421603
Seiko tank.

post your grail watch. the one watch you want and will never need another ever again. I only have one more spot left and that’s a dress watch. For me it’s picrel and love its simplicity, it looks like a vintage watch, simple, clean dial, no numerals, beautiful silvery indices.

>>17421647
so many beautiful dress watches out there and you picked the most boring and mediocre one you could find.

>>17421647
for the time being

>>17421628
Datejust, Submariner, GMT Master II, Explorer...

>>17421650
Sorry, I like my watches to be as simple as possible, almost “sterile” to say so, no complications (date complication at most).

>>17421647
Not a grail watch, but this is the watch I'm probably going to buy this year. The JLC Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar.

>>17421657
forgot pic.

>>17421655
Try the Piaget Altiplano in white gold. 6mm thin.

>>17421655
there are simple watches that look stunning, and then there's whatever the fuck you're posting. it's sad that you don't know the difference.

Anyone have any pics of Teddy's big booba fiance before she slammed face-first into the wall?

>>17421642
I can afford it, but there's no way I will throw money out of the windows for a watch.

>>17421599
ah, I see it now, thanks

>>17421680
preferably also a detailed shot of her forearm hair

>>17421694
So you can't afford it.

I think this is a gorgeous watch and think I would buy it one day. I know Breitling gets a lot of hate but I'm a fan

>>17421714
I like the premier, too, on the bracelet. it only bothers me that they are so inconsistent with their design. on your model the date window has no frame. on the day-date the date window has a frame, but the day doesn't.

>>17421545
If you know where to look, you can still get good deals on vintage Seikos. You need to be looking on Yahoo! Japan Auctions using a proxy bidding site rather than Ebay.

>>17421714
Breitling are great. This is a cool looking watch, however it is my tissot that brings all the boys to the yard however

>>17421277
not that roflmao^^^^ german guy but i own the orient bambino small secs and it's perfectly fine.

it has style. not every watch is made for stubborn chuds like you. some people prefer the minimalistic and vintage but still colorfull looks

also i find the orient pretty good, it has the hacking seconds and manual wind up too which the seiko 5 lacks of i believe.

>>17421866

Mm that’s classy. I like so many classy watches but never wear a suit, I am always dressed casually. A polo is as fancy as I get basically for my lifestyle and I am young and big so I think i would look kinda doofy

no one in this thread will ever own a simplicity

The Watchmaker's Four

>>17421888
No shit, but the post asked for grails not for watches that someone in /wt/ might actually own someday.

If I'd wanted to get really esoteric I would have dug up the chronometer timing certificate for a single Omega watch in the 1980s that got a perfect score in chronometer testing (i.e. +/- 0 seconds per day deviation on all tests performed) that has since been lost to history, but I was being lazy and didn't want to go find the pic.

Started a new wagie job. I want to start wearing a rectangle watch. I think my only non vintage options would be Cartier. This leads me to wanting to buy a fake. So please help me /WT/

I need
>something believable (so shouldnt be wildly fucking pricey)
>a good website for the fake

I'm thinking of a quartz fake, are those nearly identical?

>>17421909
Rectangle watches are homo supremo why would you want one.

>>17421908
why bother considering something a grail if you have no hope or aspirations to ever attain it

>>17421911

Maybe trade in being a power bottom for a girlfriend.

>>17421911
Idk man I think at some point I want to cop a citizen stiletto

>>17421917
Not trying to troll but you would look mismatched and doofy imo with a square watch and a bring a big guy (for you)

An IWC, or any sporty chronograph would be congruent with your look and still refined if you chose properly.

>>17421916
Because that's what a grail is? What's the point of describing something as a grail if it only requires a couple of months of saving up to obtain? A grail is *supposed* to be nearly unobtainable!

>>17421976
>A grail is *supposed* to be nearly unobtainable!
keyword nearly. you are never going to attain a simplicity ever. may as well say your grail is bernard arnault’s personal tiffany QP nautilus

>>17421909
I've been looking at the Longines Dolce Vita lately, that's more affordable.

>>17421917
What you need is one of these then. A big gold tacky watch is quintessential for buff tattooed guys.

>>17421909
Nomos Tetra

>>17421976
Yeah, nearly. You have zero chance. Zero. Otherwise I might as well say I want a watch made of a gorillion dollars and comes with a mansion with 50 horny maids that look like hunter schafer

>>17421647
My grail watch doesn't exist (yet) but it would be a credor level quartz alpinist, 37mm steel case, dial and hands similar in concept to the GCAX985, internal rotating bezel, 3 o'clock date only perpetual calendar with polished metal frame around the date window, independently adjustable hour hand, and instant (as in midnight on the dot) date change. There would be no cyclops. The dial would be freehand painted white porcelain, with hand painted blue lines around generously hand-applied Seiko lumibrite. The bezel would also be hand painted. No solar garbage either, it needs to take a conventional silver oxide battery. Steel bracelet.

I have no idea how technically feasible this would be, but I'd cum hands free if shinji hattori showed up at my door with this watch in a presentation case.

I wear my watch on my left wrist most of the time. But every once in a while, I wear it on my right.

>>17422068
Credor makes watches that sell for six figures, but (You) know that and (You)'re just fishing for (You)s, so here (You) go

>>17422068
Not him, but if you ever become rich you'll understand the appeal of having a practical watch, i.e., a quartz watch

>>17422042
the credor phoenix alpinist exists. what you're describing doesn't even have anything that would make the watch an actual alpinist tho

>>17422101
That's very nice, but
>automatic

>no rotating bezel
Not the same watch

What do you mean by "an actual alpinist"

>>17422142
Everything is going up. The RM boots I bought recently have gone up, it's insane.

>>17422142
It's just to alienate the poors.

I personally, never buy from hebrew bankers.

>>17422142
Watch manufacturers increase their prices annually pretty much like clockwork. It typically happens in January or February.

>>17422149
I was stressing over that so early december I pulled the trigger on a watch I had been thinking about. I'm glad I did.

This is exactly how galloping inflation happens btw.

>>17421242
The aqua terra sucks and looks like a mall shitter. The only omega worth buying is the moonwatch (and only that configuration, not any of the 1000 other speedmasters).

>>17422182
I kinda like how it looks a mall shitter desu. I don't see myself owning one but it seems like a great normie watch if you want to normiemax, literally just not giving a fuck, hey bro check out this omega, huh? Who the fuck is george daniels, this is an omega, james bond has one of these! Anyway did you see the sportsball game last night?

If you don’t understand that many people buy watches solely to flex their financial status you’re a moron. If person A buys a 4-5k Tudor because they see that paltry sum as “expensive” and think they can flex with it and person B buys a Rolex or more expensive piece because it IS expensive and they can flex with it, then clearly person A is coping because they will easily get mogged by person B.

>>17422215
For $14k you can do much better than that.

Convince not to buy it. Only thing holding me back is that it’s Japanese and not Swiss. Other than that it’s the perfect watch

>>17422228
Are you really going to try to justify your assblasted spamming like that? Someone said a mean thing about your watch and instead of laughing it off like an adult you've been having a public meltdown for longer than anyone can remember. You can try to pretend to be some kind of sociologist like you're making a sophisticated intellectual point but no one believes you.

>>17422231

yeah i’m really full of awe at this one. you could even say it’s awe-full

I have about 30 Seiko watches from the Ripley, to the A829 astronaut to the GS snowflake. How is this seen in the watch world?

we truly are blessed to have the biggest retards amongst us

>How is this seen in the watch world?
You're seen as an enthusiast. You shouldn't worry about it anyway, what matters is that you like owning and wearing them.

>>17422494
Yeah they're just kind of fun to collect. I kind of feel like watch stores clerks or coworkers look down on me if I'm wearing something like pic related

>>17422497

>>17422501
I like you.

I'm no expert but Cartier is known for their rectangular watches

Why though? I mean, what do you hate about it?

I molest myself

Yeah, K11F makes great quartz Tanks

I think main issue with watch threads is how polarizing they are. There's basically 2 different types of people trying to find some common ground. Watch collectors who are obsessed about flashy watches and just average /fa/ users looking for a fashionable piece to complement their fit. For collectors watch is basically the most important thing they wear. Similar to sneakerheads who usually dress in plain fashion but wearing the most extraordinary sneakers they can find which end up sticking out like a sore thumb. From a more effay point of view I think watch should be just a subtle addition to your overall style. And this is where the conflict emerges.

>>17422524
no, your casio shitter is not a “fashionable piece” nor does it “complement your lfit”

>>17421371
Same problem here, I got a Pelagos for a low price and I dread to wear it (plus its main attraction is to look like a Rolex...). On the other side, I've seen Omegas dysfunctioning after very little use. A pilot friend of mine had a moonwatch that had troubles just from flying with it.

Otherwise I buy from my hometown's brands, with local, Citizen, and sometimes Swiss movements.

>>17422524
The main issue is trolls.

>>17422543
agreed, too many trolls shitting up the thread with cheap shitters

>>17422529
What about my indestructible shitter, does it compliment my fit?! But in all seriousness, I want to get a first big boy watch besides gshock beaters, and 4chins is making me go vertigo in constant shitstorms.

>>17422549

Everyday watch, on the dressy side with a bit more WR than 3ATM
Hand wound or Automatic
Any complications welcome as long as they’re not tacky
Bracelet or Leather strap
36-39mm in case diameter

Someone redpill me on watch faces that aren't white/cream. Every watch I've owned has had one and I love them, but looking at field watches (my preferred style), those are really outliers. How do you make a black face look good?

>>17422215
Mall watch

>>17422587
Maybe go for blue/green instead of black? I like this color contrast

>>17422596
Nice strap.

>>17422596
Blue/green dials and brown leather straps are often kino as fuck

>>17422549
just buy a Rolex, even the people who seethe over them are mainly seething at the ADs, not the watches themselves

>>17422675
there isn’t a single rolex that isnt the most boring watch ever

I'm going to try filtering posts that contain "poor" and "cope" and see how much these threads improve

>>17422681
there there, wipe your tears now

>>17422675
Unironically too poor for rolex. Wanted to go with muhle glashutte, hamilton or nomos. Seikos seem nice too. Tissots were too boring from what I saw, but I dont know much

>>17422681
you should also filter: tears, sorrow, crying

>>17422736
so much misery

>but anon, he'll just use different meme words
And that's fine, it's not so much the shit flinging and childish behavior that I mind, otherwise why would I come here. I'm just sick of the SAME FUCKING POST OVER AND OVER AGAIN, come up with some new material god damm

Get a load of this poor, attempting to cope because he can only get a Tudor instead of a Rolex.

>>17422488
That you should stop fooling around with child toys and it's now time to buy a man's watch, a SWISS watch.

>>17422587
Get a Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium. They have blue, green and black dials, all of them look great imo and are versatile

>>17422747
What addon are you using?

Anyone buying watches cheaper than Rolex is coping because they can’t afford a Rolex. Anyone buying watches more than or as expensive as Rolex is coping because they can’t get off the waitlist.

How do we feel about the 5KX?

>>17422533
I think the issue is that you are thinking of the Pelagos in comparison to a Rolex, even though no Rolex is technically similar. The only watch that Rolex made that was made of titanium was the 50mm joke of a watch. There is no lume anywhere as good as the Pelagos either. The watch is also allegedly shock proof so the movement will be protected if there is damage but I am not sure that is unique to a Rolex. The watch does borrow from the sub aesthetically with its ceramic bezel but as far as the watches go, the Pelagos is a technically superior watch to the sub. The lume, the adjustable band, the titanium, and probably other features I have forgotten. And yet, the watch feels uninspired aesthetically and does feel like a knockoff of a sub visually. I have owned a seadweller and a Pelagos and I would honestly tell you the Pelagos was superior because the seadweller has a the absolute most fucking retarded caseback of any watch of the market. It is not flat but CURVED so that when you ratchet it in your wrist to the point it is cutting off blood it still moves because of the small surface area the watch is making contact with the wrist. I would take a Kermit Rolex over the Pelagos because it looks much more aesthetic and doesn’t have the same issues as a seadweller.

>>17422757
German watches>swiss watches.
Nah, just taking a piss, but they are pretty gud

>>17422874
I don't wanna wear a watch that expensive. I could save for it but I'd be too worried to wear it.

Also going to say it again, a Rolex has meme’d everyone into thinking it’s more special than it is. They’re in demand and hard to get so people want them more than ever but does anyone have a case as to why Rolex is so much better than other watches? I have owned 3 Rolexes and got rid of two of them because I didn’t feel like they were anything special once I got them.

Or is this a troll like the tears poster, Kek. Isn’t Rolex fashionably speaking just a low class flex these days anyway? be gentle to my ass for asking, I am being serious.

>>17422925
You forgot tears, suffering, and need to filter against people who post like their first sentence in lower case

>>17422897
Couldn’t get off the Daytona waitlist? Lmao

>>17422908
For the money its pretty based. I still think it should be 300-400 eur, not 500 new

>>17422929
If those things become a problem I might consider that

>>17422954
They will.

>>17422935
Implying a 40mm Daytona are for men with big wrists not onions new money wrists

>>17422924
Well, they are reliable and nicely finished. What kind of specialty do you expect from them? A watch doesn't grant super powers or anything. It's good for flexing on the lower class, but why would you want to impress these people? You certainly won't impress actually rich people, because it's just a basic cheap watch in their eyes.

It's actually kind of shocking how much this improves the thread. Even the memester trying to shitpost without saying the "r" word or the "p" word is inadvertently coming up with entirely new combinations of words that haven't been typed 1000 times before, it's a beautiful sight

>>17422964
Lange Saxonia has superior finishing at a similar price point. Other watches offer unique complications for what a hype Rolex sells for. Other watches also offer reliability.

That’s kind of what I am trying to get at. It is a status symbol flex, but you end up just flexing on poors or like you said, the people with actual money think you look like a low class Jabari or think oh he’s wearing my beater. I like Rolex but I think the marketing has blown everything out of proportion and the crowd of people surrounding the brand is cancer. The case that “well yeah the ADs and people who wear them are bad but the watches are good” is a shaky argument to me because many other watches are good too for the price and you get the bonus of not looking like a dickwad.

>>17422925

Looking for an everyday watch I can wear to any occasion. I don't like divers.
>Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz

>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
100m water resistant or whatever is good enough for swimming often.

Barely counts as a watch

Thread theme according to that one guy https://youtu.be/SGmpECiFF_c

I think this watch looks cool, but it's also tacky and situational enough for me to not want to pay its full price for a Chinese movement of questionable quality. Does anyone know something that looks similar, but gas cheaper quartz inside?

>>17423035
AP suck cock.

>>17423035

>>17423035
FP Journe makes me moist

Hey guys. Watch noob here. I just got a fitness watch for X-mas and while it's a lot of fun I'm not sure how to wear it. Am I supposed to wear my watch on the hand side of my write bone or on the forearm side? Which side is correct?

>>17422475
This

>>17423111
above the wrist bone but not too high up

>>17423111
below the wrist bone but too low down

>>17423111
on the wrist bone but no too on it

Really want this OP but AD isn't delivering

>>17423126
you are waiting 6 months only. They told me it's two years, but maybe they didn't even put me on a list

>>17423138
it's been since july

Tissot gentleman or PRX?
Both powermatic 80 versions
Can't decide on a dial colour either they all look nice

>>17423147
try em on first, i hated the green until i saw it in person on the prx

>>17423150
I can't

>>17423061
No, that's your mom.

>>17423157
damn i have two tissot boutiques near me

Normal discount for PRX?

>>17423147
Prx easily. The gentleman looks too boring to me.

Reasons I like Rolex:
>chronergy escapement
>parachrom hairspring (metal, not silicon)
>independent, not Swatch or Richemont
>high accuracy
>lots of water resistance
Reasons I don't like Rolex:
>cellini, their only dress watch, looks ugly
>they just ruined the oyster perpetual with double 3,6,9 indices
>explorer is weird looking
>datejust and day-date look boring with domed bezel, but old-fashioned with fluted bezel
>the rest of their watches are specialized for hobbies I don't have
Rolex would be great if they had a good model in their lineup

>>17423142
wtf
The silver OP is really easy to get.
Visit your AD every now and then. You'll get it within 2 months.

>>17423193
i have already bought a tudor, 3 seikos and a necklace. but this is in missouri so maybe they just dont get much stock

>>17423190
rolex would be great if they had any amount of hand or even just decent finishing on their movements and their models weren’t just generic clunky steel sports watches

>>17423197
I genuinely feel sorry for you that spent that much in order to get a relatively
unpopular Rolex. But unironically, it is such a cancerous state of affairs.

>>17423197
I shit you not anon, I live in provincial France and I've bought an Explorer in 2 months.
Prior to buying it the AD called me for a silver DJ and a black OP.
After buying the Explorer they asked me if I wanted to put my name on a waiting list for another watch, so I said Pepsi and green dial OP. Got a call for a Batman less than 3 months later.

>>17423207
thankfully, i didn't buy any of it to get the rolex i wanted the rolex later on, most of the seikos were gifts other than the weird artist collab one
>>17423216
it wouldn't surprise me if this ad is just forsaken by god, it took them 4 months to get a stock of tudors

>>17423190
>>17423202
You niggas want Rolex to be like JLC.
