First for IWC

Thoughts on red dials?

Speedtimer chads assemble

thirst for casio

>>17427622
I don't know if I have ever seen a red dial watch that I really like. Pic related comes close.

Casio kid reporting in

>>17427635
the gold one is more pleasant to look at

>>17427635
winner winner chicken dinner. Red just doesn't work on a real sports watch IMO. Couldn't tell you why.

>rolex ad said they'll "put an order in" for a black oyster
lying or actual stock inbound?

>>17427645
why would they lie?

>>17427645
I've read ADs can request models but it's mostly inconsequential and the factory just sends them whatever they have laying around unless they're requesting some really high end precious metal piece. That is probably FUD lore though so take it with a grain of salt. I wouldn't think you'd have to wait that long for a black OP

>>17427647
I live in Iowa nothing good happens to no one here

Luv me $20 casio.

Luv me old gog games at 1-2 dollars when on sale.

Luv me 100% wool pants thrifted for $5.

Brooo, no, you'll have a much better time with this rolex..

haven't played video games 2 years

Don't be mad Copemariners, just posting the superior diver.

>>17427657
Well I'm not some tard who pays $80 or whatever for the latest game, and needs a $500 graphics card to run it. I play games 10 plus years old. Can run on max everything on a low end system, pick them up cheap on gog, Installs and runs fine, no hassle. Not a big gamer, but comfy some days for a few hours.

I keep my casio by my side to keep track of the time.

>>17427662
im probably gonna sell my 2070 gayman computer for a 4k laptop for movies and travel
>watches

>>17427663
I don't touch 4k either! Even happy at 720p.

I still live like a king, compared to growing up in poverty.

>>17427658
it's too thick and blocky. I like how the submariner is relatively flat. that said:
>try on pretty good submariner cope
>it's great but I don't have any use for it, can't see myself wearing it with anything because I'd always choose a different watch over it, e.g. with a blue shirt
>see TV host wearing an actual submariner with a blue shirt and it looks good
fuck it, I guess dive watches just aren't my thing or I need one with a colourful bezel instead of black on black. What bothers me most is that it would be a watch for one or two outfits, and I won't ever use the bezel anyway

>>17427673
I don't blame you. I'm not a fan of diving watches either.

>>17427658
Nvm wrong pic

Why is it so hard to find a decent day date auto? The best watch for the job is the rolex day date, but here are a few others-

Tissot visodate, various seiko 5s, that oris complication watch, seiko divers, that ugly tudor (vintage tudors are cool), hamilton khaki, breitling something, …

They’re all shit besides the rolex, please show me the light if I’m missing something

>>17427686
You're not really missing anything, it's a niche. I think it's because day complications are ugly and difficult to design around (look at the Hamilton, which looks like absolute shit).

>>17427625
Based

>>17427622
>>17427635
Based

>>17427686
Super awesome day date coming thru

>>17427730
Very nice.

>>17427686
lange odysseus (if you ignore the bracelet lol)

teddy baldassare is just nick fuentes but older and with a trust fund

Money and logo aside is the BB58 a better looking watch than the Submariner?

>>17427772
It looks better but looks don't matter. Only the name on the dial

>>17427772
it's actually closer to what Connery had in the bond movies, but also way larger

>>17427772
nothing with soiflake hands will ever be better than even the ugliest lolex (and the sub is one of the ugliest to be sure)

>>17427741

>>17427790

>>17427790
i am very confused as to what this image is meant to illustrate

>>17427772
Yes it is, it doesn't even need the "money and logo aside" qualifications.

>>17427795
The bracelet is straight, just to illustrate how it would look.

My first and latest watch collection. Those simple times when I thought I was a baller with my Invicta. Those were the good days.

>>17427803
ok but why are there 4 odysseuses next to that ugly ass two tone sub

>>17427809
One OG, one with a straight bracelet. It's from this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dFKOHgY-jQ

Wore this leather strap one hole more loosely in the summer and the strap came undone and the watch fell on the floor. Now I'll be paying for another service when it's done soon. Would you trust the strap on the correct hole? Get a different one? Buy a chink replica of an original Heuer bracelet?

>>17427813
Buy another strap. Buy two just to be sure.

>>17427810
i’m more confused about the presence of the sub than anything honestly. i get the bracelet redesign but i don’t think it’s radical enough and i would personally redo everything from the lugs on out, so that it becomes an actual integrated bracelet watch and not just a standard lange that tries really hard to pass as one.

>>17427790
They should Old Yeller this dog of a watch, it's fucking hideous

>>17427686
I have the visodate to wear at work and I love it. I have the newer 42 mm and idk why people bitch about the size, it’s perfect. I also like the day/date window that most people despise. To reach her own

>>17427813
I'd try one of heuer's deployant clasps instead of the usual pin buckle.

>>17427808
Pure cope all the way around

>>17427813
Get a deployant clasp you fucking retard

Is this watch too big for me?

>>17427673
>Too thick & blocky

That was my first thought as well and I didn't give the Seiko any attention. Once I tried it on however, it just clicked. Great sizing, shape fits so snug onto my wrist and even the bezel is just right. I'm personally not a fan of black either but I think the bezel matches well with the grey sunburst dial. I'll wait until ones pops up for 800-900€.

Try a blue Sub, imo the universal colour choice you can't go wrong with.

Looking for a Chronograph, strap nd wrist size doesn't matter since I'll replace it, but it has to feature only blue dive with white and/or black features, anywhere up to £200


Your budget
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, flieger, etc...
> Desired bracelet option, e.g. leather, nylon, metal
> Wrist size or desired watch size, e.g. 17cm / 38mm

omegaytards getting more and more annoying on watch spaces
>guise, i went to an AD and they spent an hour getting me to buy this watch that depreciates by 40 percent as soon as i buy it and even gave me a 15 percent discount!!

>>17427880
it's just right

>>17427772
Yes

guys, I might do it

>>17427902
Lol

>>17427902
better than any omegay might as well

How do you feel about the /g/ thread? Has it made a good comeback?

>>>/g/90711628

Why are good wristwatches so outrageously expensive? It's fucking insane, people.

>>17427911
Because inflation so we can help the brave freedom fighters in Ukraine

>>17427911
Watches are ultimate richfag bait so most of them just a meme similar to audiophile/headphone community. You can get a good watch in $1k range.

>>17427915
Fuck Ukraine

>>17427920
>You can get a good watch in $1k range.

>>17427920
You can get a hamilton around $400

>>17427915
>>17427928
Rent free

>>17427932
True but I meant in general. I think watches above $1k is where luxury segment starts.

>>17427915
yeah, its slavs having a spergout, not the fact unlimited money was printed for 2 years because of the cough
people will blame literally everyone but the (((elite)))

>>17427915
>the bottom 70 percent of americans vote republican and are anti ukraine as per voting results
being anti ukraine is unironic poorfag behavior

>>17427939
Yeah it's funny when rural, white uneducated poltards larp as being intellectuals or not poor

what is it about small vintage rolexes that looks so elegant? the smaller the better they look

>>17427942
I'm not rural or uneducated or a poltard but I have no doubt that the urban educated yuppie is more stupid

>>17427955
>im stupid poor
got it cleetus

>>17427949
>the smaller the better they look
That's what she said :'^(

>>17427956
Sorry I hurt your feelings

>>17427960
no feelings hurt, im poor and conservatards lose just about every election and can't even vote amongst themselves so i have no problems

>>17427957
but for real though

>>17427813
Get a rubber strap

>>17427880
Is this real? That's not an Auschwitz labourer arm?

>>17427949
Suits and thin cases

>>17427949
>>17427967
It's the classic 36mm Rolex Datejust look.
They look compact and sturdy, but also elegant and sophisticated thanks to the jubilee bracelet and flutted bezel.

>>17427975
It's not, but it's still huge.

>>17427967
Bezel makes that watch look super fake here but I'm not an expert.

>>17427967
For me, it's ~40mm dive watches

fluted bezel look like dogshit on vintage watches, ends up looking old and crusty

>>17427615
I got the wrong strap size sent out to me for my Grand Seiko

>>17428050
I like them

>>17428050
Just clean it with a toothbrush. Need to do it with jubilee bracelets anyway.

>>17427991
Truth. Vintage Datejusts are great. Would like to get a linen dial one sometime soon

newbie. what's the audience's here take on Bvlgari?

>>17428071
shite

>>17428071
Octo Finissimo is technically excellent but weird looking on the wrist, feels more like a huge bracelet than a watch. As far as I know literally nothing else made by them is worth looking at.

I can’t stop obsessing over blancpain and Lange bros wtf

>>17428079
the octo roma is an octo finissimo that wears better

>>17428113
Interesting thanks, I'd never heard of that line. It does look skinnier. I think they're both kind of cooked looking.

>>17428075
thoughts on these?

>>17428125
Cheap caliber. Not worth it except for the novelty.

>>17427658
if you're going to spend big bucks on a seiko then why a half measure?

>>17428124
they’re both clearly autistic genta designs but i find them more coherent and thoroughly thought out than the royal oak. whether or not that ends up being a good thing in the greater scheme of things is a different question entirely.

>>17427772
both are offshoots of the original sub design.
this is more faithful to that vintage aesthetic.
i think the new oystercase looks very chodey

Am I the only one that likes terracota watches

>>17428150
hopefully

>>17428056
Gay Sexko is shit anyway. Thank the good fortune of the wrong atrap size and dump that crap in the trash before you use it.

>>17428136
fair, someone was selling one on fb marketplace near me for a few bucks and I hadn't seen it yet.

>>17428071
Only good Bvlgari lines:
>Octo
>Daniel Roth
>Gerald Genta
The rest is not worth it.

i got this tag as my every day watch. something just switched in my brain and i like quartz now. maybe something to do with only owning vintage mechanical shitters and being afraid to get my hands slightly damp or bump them on stuff. quartz just seems better to me now. plus its light, thin, and comfortable.

>>17428167
I'm not going to mess with this one because it was a gift. But if I can pick up a used one cheap I want to see if I can put a different caliber in it.

Level with me, is the Rolex AD waitlist a real thing or are they just jerking me around?

>>17428198
they're fake dog

>>17428198
Depends on what you requested, your purchase history, and your AD allocation. They’re probably not jerking you around unless you’re after something they deem unreasonable.

discovered an incredibly cringe watch youtuber yesterday. I guess he owns a vintage watch store. https://www.instagram.com/christianzeron/

sort of just feel bad for him because of how unlikeable he is

>>17428056
>Grand Soiko

>>17428194
I can send it to you anon-- its only $40 locally

>>17428214
Just wait until you read about his humiliating debacle with Breitling.

>>17428226
>about his humiliating debacle with Breitling.
link? qrd?
not familiar with it

>>17428226
i will be impressed if this loser somehow got humiliated by shiteling of all brands

>>17428125
Mass produced, incredibly low quality. But normies won't know the difference. And it isn't like they try selling them for a premium.

>>17428190
It's nice having something you don't have to set every time you put on.

>>17428242
agreed, which is why you own a watch winder. right?

>>17428243
Will that work for my 113 year old Elgin?

>>17428202
It was a Rolex Kermit. I ended up buying a green seamaster from the omega boutique instead (and glad I did) but I can’t stop thinking about if the Rolex AD was trying to punk me or what

>>17428244
your fault and no one else’s that you choose to buy dirt cheap hoarder garbage

sorry for your loss

It's okay, I'm commissioning one

>>17428257
next time consider commissioning some taste instead.

>>17428258
I don't know how to package that for you

>>17427615
He's gonna milk this for several more months.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnjW7lQBcfI

>>17428260
i wouldn’t worry about me, there are more pressing matters at hand.

Bros…I don’t feel so good

>>17428263
I know, but I just thought you might like somebody actually thinking about you once in a while. And you just really need it.

>>17428269
i’m sure you would like me to live rent free in your head, but quite frankly i have places i need to be that don’t smell as bad.

>>17428271
I'm sure you have to move around a lot then.

>>17428245
Unless you have a serious purchase history, you were probably never going to get that watch.

>>17428274
not really, i just remember to take showers daily. a tall order for you, of course, so i wouldn’t want to impose my standards upon someone with special needs.

>>17428277
You might try some cologne then, if even that much can't help you.

>>17428280
you alright buddy? seems like you’re struggling to keep up. there’s no shame in taking a break if you need one, don’t overexert yourself.

>>17428281
I'm just giving some helpful advice, I have no idea why you'd go off topic so suddenly.

>>17428282
if i were you i’d be more concerned about helping yourself. practice what you preach and all.

>>17428284
I'm more concerned on you just giving up on yourself and the conversation. Everything okay at home?

>>17428288
trust me, no one needs or wants your concern.

>>17428290
Nobody at home, huh?

>>17428291
but enough about you.

>>17428292
You said there was no one, not me.

>>17428293
yeah, no one wants anything to do with you.

>>17428294
Have you tried therapy for that?

>>17428295
great question. have you?

>>17428296
You want me to be your therapist?

>>17428298
trust me little guy, no one wants you to be their anything.

>>17428302
Well, you seem awfully infatuated.

>>17428304
haven’t you projected enough today?

>>17428071
Pure class

>>17428306
a projection in and of itself

can you guys just shut up and make out or get a room

>>17428311
if you say so little guy, i wouldn’t want to keep you up at night.

>>17427847
not him, but the same happened to me with some shitter and in mine the strap ripped at the lug

>>17428251
holy shit, just taking L after L after L
surprised he didn't kill himself

I think one of the most hilarious things to me is that Ed Sheeran, a huge watch collector who can afford anything in this world will buy Kikuchi Nakagawa watches but not Grand Seiko. He won't touch GS. Neither will John Mayer, another super collector who can afford anything in the world

>>17428330
even if either of them were interested in soiko i highly doubt they would buy gay sexko instead of credor

New shitter just dropped. This one's a gift but I think I might make another for myself.

Don't mind me, superior dive watch coming thru. Cope Seiko and Rolex fags

>>17428395

Image rotated and scuba dude still flexes on you Capitalist pig dogs

>>17428330
there's no mystique to seiko or grand seiko. they're just good solid watches

>>17428382
noice. what materials are you using? looks like some kind of cloth or construction paper

>>17428401
Yeah it:s mainly 65 pound cardstock. When i did the Holo one I used more 80 pound and it was too thick; ended up being difficult to have the hour hand clear, so going thinner helped a lot. Looking at it this closely and with such direct lighting the fibers become very easy to see. It looks hideous under a 10x loupe, much better in this photo and better still from a normal viewing distance.
Kinda wish the wings were a bit more white and less translucent but it works.

>>17428408
I just noticed the wings haha. That's cool effect.

>hurrr hurrr muh Omemega

*mogs your "high-end luxury" watch*

>>17428263
>>17428269
jesus christ, you both argue like teenage girls. you're both huge fucking faggots and your watches suck and you're both fat wristlets that make wagebux and, above all else, you BOTH lose the argument. I'm not reading the whole thread, but you both lose for being fags. Kys

>>17428422
this is so gaudy and tacky

>>17427615
Those are Dior glasses?

>>17428430
>th-this fully rare gemstone-studded watch I could never dream of affording is... t-tacky! yeah!
cope, poormutt

White or black dial gaytona?

Muh blue leather strap was waiting for me when I got home. Woo

>>17428437
money does not equal taste. I work for a luxury company, and one of my most wealthy colleagues has the absolute worst taste of anyone I've ever met. Constantly buying watches just like that one.

>>17428437
your shitty troll posts don't work here

can't decide if i like the IWC Da Vinci or not
what does /wt/ think?

>>17428437
Lmao dude, that thing looks like shit.

>>17428457
Nice

>>17428422
>>17428437
AP sucks cock.

>>17428395
bezel doesn't fit the rest of the watch at all
also swap the milanese for a shark mesh, much better fit for a diver

>>17428457
movement too small or the case is niggerishly big, that date placement should warrant a death

>>17427625
Why does he move like an orangutan

I was think I’m going to add a Santos next mid or large? PAM111 always looking for a good one and A384 love the dial but need to try the case in person.

>>17427615
what does /wt/ think of the glashütte sphincter dial?

>>17428496
From the three, my personal favorite would be the Pam.
But I think the Zenith would add flexibilty to your collection.

>>17428512
I'd prefer a handmade leather dial that looks like an actual anus

>>17428214
He can be annoying, but he has improved a lot. It was way worse 2 or 3 years ago.

>>17428395
that’s not a green Orient Kamasu

>>17428457
Shit date window and location.

I'm starting residency in the ER of an Infectious Disease hospital. I need a watch that can be beaten to shit and still work, solar power preferred so the battery won't let me down, and is digital. I've seen some G-Shock models but not sure which one to pick. It needs to also withstand disinfectants and soap.

>>17428570
I have a g shock I like a lot, bashed the shit out of it on the tools, pretty sure it is a gm5600

>>17428570
Analog G-Shock is best G-Shock.
Plus, lots of different color combo to choose from.

>>17428330
Different people like different things.

>>17428576
True, but GS is shite

>>17428512
I like them. It's what got me back into watches, i saw it in some ad and went researching. Was a bit shocked when i saw the price though, so i adjusted my expectations on what is achievable.

>>17428578
I like them.

>>17428575
I prefer digital because I’d like to tell the time on a whim.

>>17428572
Thanks, not sure what to choose between steel and reisin.

>>17428534
maybe extend the theme to the bezel so that you easily access it with your tongue?

>>17428579
interesting. were you hoping it would increase attention from gay men? i heard girls don't care about watches, is that different for homosexuals?

Green Kamasu best Kamasu.

>>17428616
it looks beautiful, but why 42mm? too huge

>>17428624
lug to lug is acceptable and 42mm because it's a diver I guess. I have no problem with its size.

>>17428584
>I prefer digital because I’d like to tell the time on a whim.
? are you mentally retarded

>>17428632
if you can tell the time exactly on your analog watch as fast as on a digital watch, props to you.

>>17428634
actually faster because I have to check the position of two sticks vs reading 4 digits

>>17427902
Rolex datejust cope

>>17427920
The difference is many headphones are nearly universally agreed as good for the price and good enough for most (which are almost all below 5k etc), same with mechanical meme boards and fountain pens. With watches you get sweeping assumptions like all cheap watches are shit which nobody would say about all the other markets

>order watch on scamazon 4 days ago
>still not shipped
>"arriving in 2 days"
Fucking Amazon, if it doesn't ship today I'm canceling these fucking cucks

>>17428646
yep, they declined hard in service. anything that I ordered from them takes longer than purchases from other stores because they have their own delivery service here. with a prime membership nonetheless... it was the reason for me to cancel

>>17428639
How slow are you? They're just numbers, it takes less time than reading a single 4 letter word.

just kith already

>>17428268
kekkerino

Cop or not? It fits my needs, good WR, great accuracy, GMT, even the colors are beautiful.

>>17428693
only if you can live with this little logo that says
>I want to be a submariner, and you want me to be a submariner, but I'm not and deep down you know it

>>17428268
ask when she can pick it up and what she should wear for the occasion

>>17428699
And I don’t think anyone will care about it, tho.

>>17428704
yep, others won't care. I mean will you get annoyed by it or not?

>>17428711
Not at all, I buy it based on my needs and can’t afford to spend Rolex money on a watch at the moment.

>>17428712
I like it, too, but I'd have to somehow pry that logo from the dial because I just don't like it. The brand name is acceptable for me, somehow

>>17428693
btw I like this a lot more than some of their other models because the dial is cleaner and it has no cyclops

what are your favourite tag heuers?

My beater for the day

>>17427615
I'm trying to decide between a 16600 and 16610. Can't try either on, so I have no idea which to choose. Any anons have experience with either? 7in wrist btw

>>17428758
might be the ugliest explorer cope watch i've ever seen period

>>17428769
it's got a cleaner dial and looks better overall I think

>>17428532
I’ll probably end up with all 3 or some sort of Zenith El Primero.

>>17428781
yeah, i bet you wish it did.

>>17428762
16610 for sure

>>17428803
it's not a wish but an honest opinion

Green or Tiffany dial?

>>17428815
for me it's suicide watch

>>17428814
sure, if that helps you sleep at night.

>>17428815
Green is often based

>>17428832
are you still pissed that we didn't compliment you on your explorer?

>>17428815
Green

>>17428842
i don't own an explorer and i never will unless someone hands me a cheap 1016 in pristine condition.

/g/ /wt/ is laughing at us again bros...

I want to thank the anon who recommended me this Casio tough solar, I finally bought for $15 bucks

New Teddy!!!

https://youtu.be/P2PXxpS4poM

>>17428879
Fuck off cuck sucking retard

>>17428815
Green definitely

Third time, which one.

Sincerely, indecisive fag

Nice, glad you like it. Though you did all the work lol.

>>17428938
Left, seems less chunkier than the other one.

>>17427622
Bad. Red is colour of periods, arsenal, danger etc.

>>17428938
right looks better

What if I'm a danger for the ladiiiies??

>solar power preferred so the battery won't let me down
Mechanical watches don't have batteries so will never let you down as long as you wind them

>>17428769
Fair enough

>>17428781
Cheers

>>17428815
Green, goes better with the color of the markers.

>>17428938
Well, obviously I bought it kek, but I was curious about the watch and it's perfect for me as an everyday beater watch, thanks again anon.

>>17427656
Cecil you’re a disgusting freak. never post again

>>17428815
All three are ugly.

But color-wise:
Blue-yellow is a complimentary color palette though. This means 180 degrees on color wheel. Therefore it is balanced.

Green-yellow and Red-yellow are 90 degrees color palettes. They are not balanced and need a 3rd color to be balanced.

Learn the color wheel.

Also the date window is white.
Therefore it looks less off on a lighter dial which in this case is blue.

You're in for a hard fall.

It might be fallout from Christmas and people taking leave. I was getting shit shipped to me within 3 days just before Christmas but stuff I ordered the day after didn't even ship till yesterday. Seeing "preparing to ship" for almost two weeks was annoying as shit but I guess that's what I should expect since that warehouse is in LA apparently.

>>17429035
What kind of shoes?

>>17428758
something about that non integrated band is annoying me

My Duro bezel is stiff as a motherfucker

>>17429166
needed a comfier fit for work, integrated bracelet wasn't doing it for me. I think its the polished bezel, throws it off a lil

never had a digital, been looking at the reissue of these old racing seikos. the 15º tilt offset is interesting. mildly rare but expensive.

>>17429181
sorry for triple post now but i meant inexpensive lol. They're like 300-600 US.

>>17427658
If there was a no-date version of this watch I would own it in a heartbeat.

>>17429120
>>17429123

Feels good though

>>17429131
Will do

I never got these designs.

>>17429207
It's for telling time with your hands on the steering wheel.

I'm about to buy a GW-M5610U-1ER. Is there a better g-shock for 100€?

>>17427808
Are invictas worth it? What are the dimensions on that bad boy?

>>17429232
I get that, but it looks ugly.

Does Seiko have any similar (value/looks) alternatives to the discontinued sarb029?

>>17429274
Yeah, I'm with you. I think of it like a concept car, like trying to reimagine the idea of a watch from a clean sheet of paper and then taking some design elements and putting them into the normal range.

>>17429290
The newest Presage looks closest to it. How much did it cost when it was new?

>>17429300
400$

>>17429301
Well the Presage Cocktail time is similarly priced, but doesn't reach the level of quality of the sarbs.

>>17429305
But the Presages are bigger and have fatter lugs. Both get hardlex and the movement in the sarb is a 6R not a 4R. Nice looking watch though, sarbs were the last really good Seikos for the money.

>>17429256
No. Buy it, it's worth every penny.

>>17429274
I actually really love that style and wish more watches had it.

>>17429333
Do you hold your arms like you are pretending to drive a car to read that watch when you aren't driving?

It's here. It came. I fucking love it. Took it down the pub tonight, am back, glass of wine on the sofa. Half pissed. So fucking pleased. Bosh.

>>17429340
I don't know, lifting your arm at a 45 degree doesn't feel that horrible.

The current state of this place

Hello friends, I interrupt the toxicity to say I think this watch is nice.

Been daydreaming about several different Lange models, Fiddy phantoms, and this fella. Also really like the Heuer Calibre 11 which has the left hand drive that Steve McBepis wore.

>>17429422
A big guy - for you

rarely browse these threads...whats so bad about GS? I saw this meme last thread but have heard great things about spring drive. QRD?

>>17429423
It’s an iconic watch, if you can make peace with yourself that tag made it.

>>17429422
The Octo is a great watch. I want to get one myself eventually.

>>17429427
Richard Genta designed the Octo, and it looks beautiful indeed. You are a man of culture. Can anyone chime in about the movement of the Finissimo?

Final watch I have had my eye on although any of the models could pass for being of interest: the Lange Saxonia

>>17429425
Sproooong drive is the worst of both worlds.
>Let's use a chip to regulate the watch, but add gears to charge for it asif it were a mechanical, and also make it less reliable.
>Let's add gears and wheels for "le mechanical taste" but let's not adjust or properly finishnthe gear train at all, since we have a chip to regulate it.
>Now let's price it at 8~10k
It's a fool's trap.

>>17429433
>richard genta

>>17429433
What I really like the most about the Finissimo is the microrotor. It's rapidly becoming a lost art, since less and less brands use it. The movement is very well finished too.

>>17429443
Didn't even noticed that at first

>>17429433
buyer beware, the movement is good but all ultra-thin watches will cost more money over time and they are much less durable comparatively speaking

>>17429463

Oh dun goof’d

>>17429476
i have owned an ultra thin watch for almost 10 years and it has been a moderate pain in my ass

>>17429481
Which one, dude? No intention to fight, but might have only been your case. I never heard of thin movements being more propense to misbehave.

>>17429495
LC tank that uses a Piaget 430P movement. Ultra thin movements are more prone to issues. This is just universally true. Tolerances are tighter and anything that isn’t absolutely necessary gets removed. There’s a reason only ~3 brands bother with ultra thin watches.

>>17429502
Who's the third besides JLC & Piaget?

>>17429507
we’re literally discussing bvlgari’s ultra thin movement right now

>>17429507
The ones actively competing to make the thinnest watches are Piaget, Bulgari, and now Richard Mille. AP, Vacheron, JLC, and Patek sort of flirt with ultra thin watches every once in a while.

>>17429509
Oh right, I glazed over that part.

>>17429440
But it moves smoothly which is good for the lizard brain, are there any cheaper watches that do this?

Made a new thread

does anyone have a good heuristic about when you should buy a true luxury watch?

some background, i'm late 20s, married, about to have a newborn, more than half way paid off my mortgage in a nice area in Australia, $160,000 software engineer salary and I want a rolex datejust (approx. $12-14,000).

Is this an outrageous purchase? I'm in two minds because for one, it's < 10% of my annual salary on the other hand it's a lot of money for what is really a fashion accessory.

>>17429510
>Richard Mille
what the fuck

>>17429548
Fuck off insufferable faggot

>>17429570
>>17429570

>>17429510
>>17429551

I think Piaget looks nicer, like a real watch, and the Richard Mille is cheating a bit by using an outside tool to wind it.

That being said at least the Mille watch is sturdy and they're making 100+ of them while the Piaget and Bulgari are more prototypes.

Citizen also does some cheap thins watches with their Stiletto line if you don't mind quartz.

>>17429550
Go for it, you should have got it a while ago.

>>17427902
Nice choice on the 34mm

>>17429352
the dial is indeed very beautiful. I can imagine it being great underwater, too. Still not a fan of divers though. Congratulations

>>17429545
tuning fork watches do this

>>17429394
Disgusting.

>>17429333
I like these watches a lot. How easy is it to buy them from the EU?

>>17429394
It's nice
