I've unironically fallen in love with the Moonswatch.

Isn't every watch? I've been happy with mine but they're definitely overpriced, even at RRP. Some lunatics on C24 were trying to sell some for $1k, absolute retardation.

>>17425494
must be nice, being so easily entertained.

>>17425494
they look nice, but it's just a toy

>>17425511
It looks neat and tells the time, I expect nothing more from it.

Convince me not to buy this

>>17425515
Tissot would be better.

>>17425509
>Isn't every watch?
Nah. Some watches are immune to trends and will age nicely (most Rolex, JLC Reverso, most haute horlogerie stuff). Other watches, that were designed as fashion watches in the first place, have now ascended to icons so they're also immune to trends (I'm thinking of the Royal Oak or the Nautilus).
I always thought the original Speedmaster was in the first category, but because of the MoonSwatch I'm not so sure now...

>>17425521
>I always thought the original Speedmaster was in the first category, but because of the MoonSwatch I'm not so sure now...
Moonswatch sits separately imo, it's just a fun watch based on space travel while the original Speedmaster still has all the history and recognition. Everybody knows the Swatch is just a Swatch.

>>17425547
check the bracelet, the finishing on the bezel and the 12/3/9 markers

Anyone else looooooming?

>>17425543
He wouldnt wear your precious 10k lmao rolex, either. Besides, its not hitler who is supposed to wear them considering the context, nimrod.

>>17425559
you’re right, hitler today would probably wear a lange.

Dunno how you came to that conclusion, weirdo. From the obvious context, its probably not the fuhrer who wears them, but a subordinate. Thats it.

Now post a nice guilloche dial to redeem yourself.

>>17425557
Lefty watch?

How much of a discount can you (((negotiate))) at authorized dealers? I was looking at a soiko and would want to see it in person to verify the bezel isn't fucked but I don't want to pay msrp. Can't find the king turtle in person at any dept stores in black

Why exactly do you hate it ?

>>17425638
It's kinda getting mogged by the Heuer and Breitling.

>>17425665
I don't hate it, but hating on divers is babby's first "le classy wrong decade" wrist fedora aesthetics. Nothing wrong with a dress watch but if it's your only watch you probably don't dress nearly as well as you think

>>17425659
And the back

>>17425669

>>17425668
It's just a name given long time ago, no need to jerk off about it. Dress Watch doesn't mean i have to put it off when iam not wearing fancy shit.
Do diver watch owners constantly live in waters ????? 99% of them don't even dive and once they go swimming in the summer they take it off, so stop the bias lol

>>17425676
I take a shower with my dive watch and yes, I do in fact go swimming in the ocean while wearing it, but if you want to live to impress the lowest common denominator as you've been doing your whole life, don't let me stop you

>>17425658

lmao what a great video

>>17425664
You are correct. Hitler was an old man and from the previous era where pocket watches were a man's watch and wristwatches were seen as dainty and effeminate.
It was likely a Lange too.
What became of it is unknown. I wonder what it'd be worth if it were allowed to be auctioned?

>>17425664
Why are pocket watches so ridiculously expensive?

I'm going to pick up a Doxa Sub 300, any other good options?

>>17425923
nope, go right ahead and pick up your ugly shitter.

>>17425923
The dial looks too small for the big hunk of metal, the bezel should be more contrasting.

>>17425923
Buy a gshock square. More based

>>17425665
>41mm diameter for a retro dress watch
>21mm lug width that fits 0 (zero) mainstream watch bands
The new 38mm collection that fit regular 20mm straps is neat but too expensive considering it's literally the same watch but at sane specs.

love to beat my wife (watch)

>>17425968
can’t blame you, i’d be filled with rage too if i saw that ugly shitter every day

>>17425923
Get a sub 200 instead, looks better and doesn’t break the bank. unless you’re a professional diver, you don’t need more than 100m WR for swimming/snorkeling

>>17425974
nah bro i need that 300m water resistance to do the dishes with my watch

>>17425638
Man that's a really nice collection, no need to add more it's practically perfect for every situation. The Vostok is pretty meh, I wouldn't keep it

Why are there two prominent Finnish watchmakers? There are like 10 people altogether in Finland.

Is Tissot a good brand

>>17426139
It's an old Swiss brand with some interesting heritage to it. Had a few shit years in early 2000s, seems to have made a decent shift in course in the last decade or so. Well-made and well-specced watches for the money. I'd buy one if I was looking for a $500-1000 Swiss watch.

Main comparison point would probably be the Presage/Prospex lines of Seiko in terms of price.

>>17426139
Its a decent first "real" watch, but its the epitome of souless corporate product, absolutely cookie cutter npc watch.

Is there a chart with the main types of watches and some pictures? I can't figure out what I even like.

>>17426151
what about vintage tissot?

I haven't seen any confirmation on what watch he carried, but he did gift several Lange watches to people, Albert Speer for example.

>>17426182
great with a leather jacket, I love the aesthetic and of the dive bezel and wanted it as a beater. Unfortunately I won't go diving with it or use the bezel very often

>>17426177
Picrel was the fuhrers favorite wristwatch.

>>17426180
anyone know when or if they will release a 35mm automatic prx or was that just a rumor
inb4 35mm bejeweled one

I've been looking at gwb5600s but cant really tell why it has Bluetooth? Just an extra way for accurate time?
And it's bigger than gw-m5610 right? I've seen varying measurements

>>17426155
There's this, but it's wrong, especially the part where it approves wearing divers with suits (it was probably made by a Rolex guy who likes to flex on people in business meetings)

>>17426268
You can wear a diver with a cheap suit

>>17426290
Yeah if you're a bouncer or a used car salesman

>>17426268
how does removing the bezel from the watch make it more casual?

>>17426155
>>17426268
To expand on that shit, generally, watches are watches, but some of them can play specialized roles
- Dress watches are the only thing compatible with a tuxedo (assuming you're even gonna wear ANY watch with a tuxedo). They need to be classy and minimal with a leather strap, and above all, THIN
- Dive watches are defined by their higher water resistance compared to other shit and they usually have a rotating bezel with minute markers for tracking your oxygen
- Pilot watches used to have special anti-magnetic cases, luminous dials, and giant crowns so you could wind them with your gloves on. None of that is particularly relevant in modern airplanes though so you're more likely to see tachyometer shit or a rotating bezel with time zone markings
- Chrono watches are watches that are also stopwatches (chronometers). I don't know why it's a separate column there because there's a lot of overlap with pilot watches these days
- Field watches originate in the military, which is how men's wristwatches got popularized in the first place. I'm not as familiar with this kind but I've seen a lot of them that swap the hour and minute markings so you can use them to time the firing of an artillery barrage, which I'm sure everyone here does all the time

>>17426306
Did you miss the part where the chart is wrong?

My collection, pretty content with what I have.
Yes I'm poor.

>>17425482
IWC is the only brand i find myself lusting after. Their Portuguesier Automatic 7 Day will be my next watch. But I also love the 43mm Big Pilot as the 46.5mm version would just be comically large on me
I currently own a Mark XVIII and love it but it's kind of plain and I wish it had a better movement

>>17426091
Thank you anon :) I'm keeping the vostok as I really like it, not sure what it is but I just think its neat.
>>17426101
I'm afraid I have no idea, I just know its late 1970's

>>17426268
You can wear a diver with a suit. People do all the time
Joe fucking Biden wears a Seamaster and he's president of the USA

>>17426334
This makes me feel not worthy of omega now, that watch is my grail watch

>>17426334
wearing a diver with a suit is to be expected when dealing with a dementia patient.

>>17426342
Or maybe it literally fucking doesn't matter what watch you wear and the concept of a "dress watch" is old and archaic and only still pushed by watch autists who need something to parrot on their youtube channel and watch brands trying to market their watches

>>17426311
Chronometer != Chronograph

anyone that tries to tell you a certain watch is only for certain occasions and outfits can immediately be dismissed as a retard

Is it safe to buy watches on ebay?

>>17426369
yes, there’s only a 27% chance that the watch you receive might explode.

>>17426369
their payment goes through an escrow account for all payment options as far as I know. eBay motors controls when they wire the money to the seller, whereas on chrono24 you authorize the payout. for watches over 2k they also have a verification that the watch is genuine, but it seems to apply only to Europe and USA.

>>17425496
>Refuse to elaborate without proof.
>Send it to the warranty fucking moron
>>17425501
Retard shill

>>17426381
That really depends on the watch, I sold a vintage “as-is” watch for $900 last summer and the funds went straight to my paypal

The escrow shit is for expensive watches

>>17426355
Joe biden may be in this thread RIGHT NOW

>>17426390
I think that they have some sort of trust algorithm based on your ratings. When I started out the money went to my account a few days after the recipient rated me. Nowadays it's shortly after I ship the item. In total I have less than 50 transactions

>>17426398
Depends on your definition of "good", I wouldn't be satisfied with just a dive watch, but yeah I'd rather have a "nice" diver than a drawer full of ok divers. But I'd rather have an ok diver than no diver

For me it's more about getting the most for my money. I don't feel particularly attracted to oris at all, or to any non-grand seiko watches in excess of $500 other than the 8R speedtimer, but the sarbs are nice, the skx is nice, and the t*dor is nice (sorry that's on my filter)

The rest of those are embarrassing though

Maybe they just like the watches. I'd prefer a watch I like rather than a watch /fa/ likes. You'll just end up being one of many Rolexfags and I can't bring myself to give a shit about the submariner.

Black and white tie are worn to formal events, and wearing a watch to an event implies you have somewhere else to be.

>>17426262
The watch can check you phone for accurate time multiple times a day. You can also use all the settings through the phone. It's completely option, I never use it in any of my watches. It is the standard size of the square, the GW-M5610 is slightly smaller so it doesn't fit any of the bezels from standard models. The module on the GW-B5600 is far superior. Bluetooth keeps the schizos away which is a big plus.

I love ugly 70s sport watches, shit like proplofs, explorer 2s etc. I get why people hate them here (not the best finishing/eta movement etc) but I love the design.

>>17425482
Since I'm seeing some vostoks in this thread I'm asking for some help.
Today I went through my drawer and found a vostok that I used to wear a few years ago, just a regular amphibia.
The problem is the movement is kinda fucked, sometimes runs but eventually stops, than if I hit the case of the watch, sometimes comes back to life.
Obviously its a shitter and servicing the watch is not worth it, but at the same time I love the patina that it has and also has some sentimental value.
How can I save this thing? Service it? Buy a new one for an engine swap? Also I believe that vostok used to sell parts on meranom, but I have no idea how things are working because of the war.

>>17426311
>I've seen a lot of them that swap the hour and minute markings
that's a german pilot watch, or flieger. they were for timing bombing runs in the dark.
of course some modern "field" watches use flieger dials, like the classic seiko 5.

>>17426455
For the same price as an Invicta you could buy a Casio or Orient and get a watch that's actually good.

>>17426398
Completely agree with you.

>>17426640
I want to sell mine too and have the pics but have been too lazy.

>>17426635
The U is an update but the module is still ancient. The GW-B5600 has a modern module:
>backlight fades in and out pleasantly and has longer duration with softer hotspot
>actual DST table that changes the time without the need of a signal
>has all the information on the screen instead of just dashes for alarm and battery level that can't be deciphered in the dark because the labels are on the glass
The GW-M5610U module has some advantages so if these are important to you go with it:
>easy access to last signal received time
>battery level display

Does anyone have any recs for a field watch under $100?

>>17426673
The 5610 also allows you to change the date format from month/day to day/month, which is nice for Europeans.

Tell me why I like this watch more than many other sports watches.

>>17426761
Under $100 is tough, but you might check out the Timex Expedition Scout. Stretch your budget to $150 and you could get a Seiko SNK805 (picrel) or SRPG33.

>>17426770
Because you likely don’t understand the differences between movements which exist between watches and aren’t pretentious about branding because you are new to watches or indifferent.

>>17426774
Thanks for responding

i want to get hella discounts on watches

>>17426851
I started in management in one of their Maisons (Montblanc) and moved my way up.
Idk about your field, keep that Linkdln active and look up if they have any openings.

I like this quite a lot. Looking for a first watch buy. So far best explorer cope I found. Thoughts?

>>17426853
moved your way up to what? i'm curious about career trajectory
i'm serious about applying to one of these places, i'd love to work in the watch industry. currently work in aerospace which is cool but watches is my big hobby

is john mayer the only famous person that actually loves watches and spergs out about them because he genuinely enjoys them?
it seems almost all celebrities or whatever just wear what's most expensive to flex or are brand ambassadors and are contractually obliged to wear certain watches

>>17426763
Not the regular 5610 but the updated 5610U. The GW-B5600 also has that but I was only pointing out some of the differences not similarities.

>>17426868

oh boy here we go

>>17426868

If you go by Hodinkee's "Talking Watches", I'd say Mayer and Sheeran are the biggest enthusiasts; baseball player Howie Kendrick has a really good collection of vintage tool watches like a 1960s Heuer and Breitling, and would get stuff off eBay that is not even that expensive. Fred Savage seemed pretty into collecting as well.

>>17426941
I'm watching the episode with Ed and it's really good. Crazy that even him of all people is still on the waitlist for brands

Perfect sized at 38mm. True ISO 300m Diver. Decent auto movement. Nice solid comfortable bracelet. Uses split pins which is a bonus for me.

>>17426972
Should be fine. Lug2lug is pretty short at 44.7mm.

>>17426770
chronic lack of taste

>>17426996
Probably should just try them on in the store.

I want some nostalgia from when I was 11 years old and had a Timex Ironman indiglo watch and another indiglo-esque watch that I cannot remember but which I'm scouring the collections of 1990s watches looking for.

>>17427006
i often have that thought as well. i remember by first watch was a timex ironman with a green and brown strap, maybe the case was green and brown too
i miss it, and i was too young to even have a watch and i have no idea what happened to it

>>17426770
simple design, sleek, can almost be dressy. don't worry, I like them, too. Regarding the movement anon below: true, many people care about movements, in-house Vs mass produced standard, etc, I don't really care much about that.

>>17426857
If you think that's an explorer cope you don't get the explorer desu.

Wonder how I can tell you don't own a watch at all? You'd know otherwise it's time to take your meds.

>>17426857
>>17427044

damn you niggas for shilling the PRX. i am seriously considering getting one for my dad now. he's not a watch guy but his old orient needs an upgrade.

That isn't Explorer cope, it's Alpinist cope.

>>17427068
>I fail to see
that much is apparent given you think it’s worth buying.

>>17427079
but what is the problem? I like it

>>17427080
problem? there isn’t any problem, nothing’s wrong with being blind. go right ahead and buy it, the heart wants what the heart wants.

why are there no good watch options in the $1000 dollar range? its like it skips from 500 to 3000. explain

>>17426770
Because it has a nice case shape.

Where do you guys stand on Garmins?

>>17427097
this is /fa/, maybe ask /fit/ or /g/ instead.

should I buy my watch from belgian arabs or from japan?

>>17427066
I'm not much of a green watch guy, but this looks sexy

just watched the Ed Sheeran talking watches episode and loved it. thanks to those anons that recommended

>>17427048
Nice dial, i like the brown one personally. It's a solid watch, you'll be ok.

how so? are the japanese more likely to screw me over? it's not a jap watch btw

>>17426970
I'm a bit of a Seiko nerd so i'm biased here, but that logo should have been a dead giveaway, immediately. To not notice that and do a review on a watch, he either doesn't know Seiko very well or he is just blind/lazy.

>>17427126
>not a jap watch btw
Ah, ok. Then do buy it from them yellows

A. Lange & Söhne, FP Journe and Audermars Piguet make my dick diamond hard.

Thanks for the input lads.

AP sucks cock.

>>17426750
Still in-store only. I lucked out by being in the area on a Monday and they'd just had stock come in minutes before, so I bought some. Then as I walked out a massive line had already formed and they old out within 5 minutes.

>>17427083
Articulate the issue

>>17427179
Were I so difficult to entertain

It'd be cool to have some feedback. Pic related is my poorfag collection. The casio I bought used and the seiko and citizen were gifts.

I read a lot of advice given online that you should avoid buying cheap watches and save up for the next tier of watches. This makes sense in some ways but it also really hammers home that these things are flashy consumerist fetishes, where there are tiers and boxes to be ticked. I like the idea that you get a watch simply because you like it, regardless of the price. many watches from the big brands are as ugly as sin to me. And just looking for whatever watch from them you find the least ugly and possesses the most "value" seems ridiculous.

However, on the flip side, part of the irrational romanticism of these things is that you can potentially have them for decades and pass them onto your children, which is more easily achieved with higher quality watches.

What are you all's thoughts? I'd like to get a watch to commemorate finishing grad school in year and change from now, and have my eye on a Citizen NB1060-12L, but I'm wondering if I'd be better off getting something "better" like a Sinn or Oris.

I'm also thinking of getting an Orient bambino but wondering if it'd be worth it

>>17427236
your children will probably not care about your watches at all. The saving up part is true in a sense, I mean why would you buy 8 watches that are sort of what you like for a total of 4k, if you could have the watch you really like for that budget? Now, if you truly like the watch than you'll be happy with it, no matter the price. I absolutely adore my $50 no name quartz shitter, but I also like my more expensive watches very much.

>>17427236
>I read a lot of advice given online that you should avoid buying cheap watches and save up for the next tier of watches.
It's more about reminding you to slow down with buying watches, no matter the budget. Don't buy 3 watches on a whim per year, save for one good one. If you jump in it too enthusiastically you end up with a bunch of watches that are equal to one really good watch.

Got a Hamilton Khaki Field mechanical. I want a PRX and a DOXA sub 200 to complete my 3 watch collection. Can't wait to save a bit for them. The rice bead bracelet on the DOXA looks incredible.

>>17427278
I also take the Marie Kondo approach: it has to spark joy/feel awesome or else I won't keep it

>>17427236
I've been interested in watches for about 15ish years. My collection goes from Casio to modern Jaeger-LeCoultre. I might have some helpful insight as I have bought (and sold) many foolish watches.
>I read a lot of advice given online that you should avoid buying cheap watches and save up for the next tier of watches.
Good advice generally speaking.
>it also really hammers home that these things are flashy consumerist fetishes, where there are tiers and boxes to be ticked
Sort of. As opposed to seeing them as boxes to tick, I see these "tiers" and "boxes" as helpful rules of thumb so that people who may not be very knowledgeable about watches don't get screwed by the many hucksters in the industry. There is certainly fetishism over Rolex and Patek but it seems to be cooling with the market.
>I like the idea that you get a watch simply because you like it
Great. You should do this within reason. People get in trouble because they impulse buy stuff, then years later they're back here posting about how they have 30 worthless microbrands and talking about how they wished they had just bought something better initially.
>many watches from the big brands are as ugly as sin to me.
Sure. Lots of big manufacturers are going through a bit of a design slump. Omega, TAG, Rolex, AP, Vacheron, even Cartier who is normally a design power house have all been somewhat boring recently.
>I'd like to get a watch to commemorate finishing grad school in year and change from now, and have my eye on a Citizen NB1060-12L, but I'm wondering if I'd be better off getting something "better" like a Sinn or Oris.
Sinn is a good brand. Oris is improving. If that's your price range, I'd go with a Sinn or Nomos if you're want serious horological chops with decoration and highly integrated vertical manufacturing. Nothing wrong with Casio, but I would treat myself on a grad watch because you will probably have it forever.

>>17427391
If you don't have a modern Rolex, all your advice is worthless.

>>17427399
I don't, I have a 90s 36mm Datejust I inherited and that's enough for me. I wear a dress watch 7 days out of the week.

>>17427403
OK, so you can't afford a Rolex. Cool.
Well, enjoy your collection of "affordables".

modern rolex sucks cock.

>>17427408
Lmao, you are that rolex fanatic guy, who dwells in these threads 24/7?

>>17427066
I wish the automatic had the shade of green of the quartz. Much nicer imo.

>>17427222
AP fans are actually pretty easy to please given they’re content with their company of choice making the same watch ad infinitum.

>>17427220
no issue, none at all. just keep on trucking buddy!

>>17425883

He doesnt even have a rolex lol

This is how I start my watch search

>>17427462
and you stop at the first result?

>>17427463
Yes? Do you think I am made of money???? Nah I look at the first 10 results.

>>17427462
>>17427477
LOL What a sad experience.

>>17427048
I have this one. Absolutely based. But I paid $450 USD from Japan.

The negative cushion case.

>>17427489
legitimately hideous

Best (very) poorfag diver watches?

>>17427485
Are you serious? Who has more fun? It's me. I am having fun. I love looking at low priced Casio watches, knowing I can buy one and have it within a few days. And if I end up not liking it, damage, or lose it, no big deal.

Oh sorry bro, I mean I love looking at a rolex, knowing I am throwing a ton of cash at it, maybe have to wait 2 years for it, have to wear it on a special occasion, if at all, and then be extra careful when I do to not scratch it.

What a great experience!!

You're a slave to consumerism, and low self esteem, needing an item to attempt to impress others with.

I am a slave to just having a little watch fun. You gimp.

Tempted to get one of these and put a metal bracelet on it.

>>17427498
In a way, you just did lol. Owned and rekt.

>>17427499
It's a nice watch for the price, just need to make sure your wrists are big enough for it.

>>17426902
Is that the black cream or the blue one? I'm on the fence.

>>17427501
I think I am a wristlet

>>17427462
Same, but when I was looking for other brands I would also get used ones, managed to get my watches at a very reasonable price :^)

>>17427070
why? we aren't well off or anything

>>17427525
dont worry about it :)

>>17427510
:o|

>>17427521
Very cool. I just use watches as a bit of fun, enjoyment. Not trying to have an investment piece, or something I can flex on my wrist in an attempt to ger respect from complete strangers.

Just a nice comfy watch, good time keeping, long battery, and no problem if it gets broke or lost.

>>17427502

On top of them with as much weight concentrated on it as possible

My next credit overextention

>>17427572
Why would I be upset bro? We are talking 20, perhaps 30 dollars. Not like I bought some 10k watch, and are regretting it.

It's like dropping a few dollars on the slot machines, just a little fun, no real loss if it all goes bad. And if it goes good, it makes me feel good too knowing I have some sweet little casio that cost the price of a couple of burgers.

You're weird. You probably creep girls out.

How can I look good while hiking/backpacking without too much sacrifice in comfort/practicality? Most of the time I forget about fashion and look like a retard while I'm /out/, and I'm tired of it. Interested in some hiking fashion guidelines/outfit recs.

Pic only semi related due to not being a manlet.

>>17425923
I honestly think they're really cool. Really purpose built watches and have a lot of history. The 300t is also cheaper and has a ridiculous amount of water resistance (1200m or something) but isn't COSC certified. I always liked the no decompression stop part of the rotating bezel too. Something from Oris would be around the same price iirc but they don't have the same vibe.

>>17426139
Good value for money and the brand has a good amount of history. Most of their watches are kinda boring and plain though. The prx, visodate, and the telemeter 1938 plus a couple others are all pretty good choices from them.

>>17426413
Get one of the square ones instead

This is a dumb question, but can I remove the bracelet from this watch to place a NATO strap instead?
