What kind of person buys such a watch?

You must post your semen covered watch ITT

Bread is with you, my brothers.

>>17456114
you win anon. Bread is life, time to move on from these derailed threads
>>17456107
you also win OP. gay as expected. great fucking starting post with links faggot.

>he thinks 120k in a super low cost of living means you can't afford a nice watch and drive a civic
Nigga my home mortgage is probably half what most of you piss away on rent

>>17456120
What’s the point in adding the links when the 124270 is objectively the correct choice for everyone.

>>17456120
Those links are bad and outdated anyway.

>>17456130
>>17456133
links be damned--It's not like OPs post is a good place to start

>>17456140
Wait a minute. Are you trying to say cum covered hands and a fake rolex isn't good for a watch thread?

>tfw Chinese can't into cum-proof ripoffs

>>17456141
What makes you think the Rolex is fake?

>>17456129
>having a mortgage

I bought my house with cash.

Imagine living a house that the BANK owns and not you... cringe.

>>17456158
You can tell by a few indicators on the watch itself.

OP on suicide watch

*moggs ur 8k shitters dial*

I found a preowned Hamilton for 520 dollars, is this a good price?

>>17456208
I found a preowned Hamilton Jazzmaster for 520 dollars, is this a good price?

Just bought this yesterday

>>17456133
To be fair is there any point in updating stuff like the poorfag guide? Any admittance to being a poorfag in these threads now causes everyone to have a fucking meltdown

>>17456210
It's this one https://www.hamiltonwatch.com/en-int/h42615743-jazzmaster-regulator-auto.html

>>17456212
It's very cool anon, my friend at work has the same one but with yellow numbers. How do you like it?

appreciate a good looking watch but don't care too much to spend a lot of money on them.
bought this for dirty cheap, sent it for a general maintenance and got it back yesterday.
from serial code it's from somewhere between 1976 and 1996 but no idea when exactly.

>>17456228
Send me that boctok plz

>>17456114
Most unfunny forced meme i can remember on here in years

What watch do I get to impress WOMEN?

>$900 per movement

>>17456244
Unironically an apple watch. Women won't know or care about your fancy watch but will see your apple watch and say "ooh what model is it? mine's a 4 and I love it blah blah blah"

>>17456245
Thats actually kinda neat, but not $4450 neat. If it were $80 I might actually buy because 5 quartz movements crammed into a giant watch. Why not? I like how the product phto they couldn't be bothered to change any of the other times or get the minute hand of the main watch correct too.

>>17456228
Whadup anon, still loving your collection. That Breitling is the best one I've seen in this threads hope you're enjoying it in good health. I dig my Tissot, the quality it's not the same as the prx as it doesn't feel as nice, but it's accurate and I like the yellow hands, it's also pretty light and I might change the strap later for a brown leather one. Do you plan on getting more watches or are you leaving it like that? I think I'm done for now, my idea is that if I want something else it must be a direct upgrade and I would have to sell one to replace the space it's taking - I think I have one for every occasion already

>>17456240
CRINGE

Toast if you must and you will. Always watching.

>>17456278
No u

The Explorer is a lovely watch but I’d go for the SeaMaster the new Models look lovely

i think I've outgrown these threads and won't be coming here anymore

You'll come back to us, brother.
We're all in the dough and the yeast.

This bread posts are giving me puddi puddi flashbacks.
I'm triggered.

>>17456286
This is actually an improvement
>>17456295
There's absolutely nothing of value left in these threads. I feel like the only reason I come back is muscle memory clicking the right things on my screen and somehow I'm bsck here. The bread poster has really sealed the deal. I'm free, fuck all of you.

>>17456316
i come here sometimes to see discussion on new releases, or if i want opinions on a piece I'm interested in I'll post it here and see what people say
but I really just don't think I'm going to anymore. it's the same shitter collections, the same fantasy stories about how "i bought my house in cash and own 10 daytonas" that aren't even trying anymore and now there's someone forcing the most unfunny "meme" in years?
i will probably come back once a week or so but i think I've outgrown these threads and don't need to keep coming here

We watch the crust
We are the dough
We grow the yeast
Come to bread, brothers

All because the /g/ moderator doesn't want watch threads on his raspberry pi programming forum. We deserve the breadspammer for not being on /g/.

/bread/i;
That was easy

>>17456327
agreed. sorry anons i will miss the once in a while good discussion

>>17456199
I think you're misusing the term AD, looks more like a grey market thing

>>17456107
That shit scratches if you even look at it. I usually just shelf my Rolexes and just wear my cheaper watches because I don’t like them getting scratched

>>17456387
I purchased the watch from an authorised Rolex dealer after waiting for 9 months.

>>17456402
Steel models (especially brushed) like the Explorer don’t really scratch that much.

Even on the polished bezel it’s got barely noticeable hairline marks after 6 months of wear. Gold will get scratched to fuck though.

What’s the point of owning a nice watch if you don’t wear it?

>>17456421
The only 3 Rolexes I have are steel models, even if they brush up against something they’ll get scratched for whatever the fuck reason. It’s not a deep scratch, just superficial on the finish. Even though it’s more a brushed finish, they’re still pretty noticeable.

I don’t have any wear on my bezels though since they’re ceramic rather than polished steel like yours. Bezel still looks as good as new and they’re about 3 years old. I know the older watches had an issue with the bezel turning to shit since it was like a painted metal iirc

>>17456438
Embrace the patina!

You can always get it factory-finished when you get it serviced.

>>17456240
That barcelet is way too loose.

If I leave my vostok constantly in the sun will it turn to shit like this >>17456440 ?

Come to the dough with us brother.
Everybody is welcome

>>17456440
Yeah but I think I remember reading you can only get it re polished so many times when you get it serviced since it takes off a good amount of metal. Maybe it was the salesman that told me that, I don’t really remember honestly.

Dont those beat to shit Rolex “tropical” watches that look like that go for a lot? I don’t think that will be something I will ever understand

Stop posting this or I might laugh once. Don't try me.

I've been ignoring the bread meme, but seeing how much it angers anon combined with that face has me really enjoying it now. Give us this thread our daily bread. I have seen the golden baled crust and am saved. Bread be with all of you.

The bread is in all of us, brothers.
Blessed is the dough of whom we're the crust.

The jannies on /fa/ are literally nigger loving trannies who will ban you for saying nigger but then allow every thread to be shit up and the constant posting of ''what core is this'' or ''how to dress to get a girl like this''

Fuck off already unfunny glownigger

I was the first breadposter but I see myself as more of the baker of the sacred. The bread has becometh much larger than I have, a shining beacon to the watch thread to a level than I could ever have imagined. I am so proud of my bread brothers and sisters for what the have created. I was just the yeast but your crust has become so golden it has given me new life.

There are those who doubt the glory of the toast and claim it as glowing but they haven’t embraced the gentle, watching gaze of the bread into their hearts yet.

Bread be with you.

>>17456665
third worlder, converting currency it'd be around 30 usd.

>>17456661
Amen bread brother. Thank you for your pious service to the toastpost. There is simply not enough dough in the world to give you payment for your toil.

Is Hamilton a white man's watch?

A final sermon before I leave for worship:


This is my bread. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My bread is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my bread is useless. Without my bread, I am useless. I must toast my bread true. I must toast crispier than my enemy who is trying to toast me. I must toast him before he toasts me. I will …
My bread and I know that what counts in war is not the butter that’s spread, the noise of our toaster, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the ding that count. We will ding…
My bread is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its crust. I will keep my bread clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will …
Before God, I swear this creed. My bread and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace!

>>17456692
Always watching, amen.

>>17456820
You chose poorly. Huge bezel with irrelevant numbers, clashing orange whatever that hand is. slightly too big.

If you report it saying it violates US law a mod gets the report rather than the worthless janny. I can't do it because mobile data is blocked where i am and I'm not using my wifi or a pass to submit "a false report"
Someone on mobile or who can reset their router report him for breaking the law so mod gets the report
>>17456834

>>17456866
>>17456868
Looks great actually. I've always had a soft spot for the Big Crown despite Oris being known as a Pajeet shitter brand

It's not a general if there's no obsessed full time schizo having a flare.

>>17456875
Power reserve indicators are so based

>>17456871
the idea is if you don't wear it everyday, say for example you have a collection you like to rotate through, then it last long enough without winding
but yeah, just make it an automatic. hand wounds are only good on dress watches so they can be thinner. otherwise every watch should be an automatic

>>17456107
It's too much for a quartz but is it worth it as I love the movie Men In Black and enjoy dressing like one?

>>17456895
It's his genes bro... I have skinny bitch wrists but at least I'm probably 1 standard deviation of average so as long as I wear no more than like 44mm I'm ok

>>17456895
I'd say my wrists are average minus. not really skinny but maybe a little on the smaller side
I had a 44mm Fossil back when I was poor and owned quartz stuff and I felt it was just a little too big, it made me feel self-conscious wearing it
My current daily is a 40mm IWC and I think based on wearing it I could easily go up to 42 with shorter lugs and feel fine.

To what extent does "heritage" or brand history matter to you?

what are the most effay grand seikos?

>>17457129
Hit or miss. Like if I want a moonphase, I don't care if it's from a company that's been doing moonphase watches for 500 years, just if it looks cool; if I want a flieger, I wouldn't even consider getting one from a company that didn't make them for the Luftwaffe back in the day.

Great hobby, this.

It's not a primary concern when buying a watch, but once I do buy a watch I do enjoy reading up on the history/heritage after I've already decided to buy it.

>>17457232
what else is a good integrated bracelet? not really liking the overall look of the PRX. just seems too sharp edged for me.

Would someone mind photoshoping the positive display from the next picture I'll post onto this one? Thank you in advance

Thanks to who ever did this mock up for the black watch but I realize now that it would look like shit in the black watch, hopefully it would look better with this one

Why do breitling belong in the bin?

>>17457303
they have very few good designs, most of them look like toys

Would you ever buy secondhand?

>>17457323
yes, because a lot of people buy watches that they don't like brand new, rarely wear them, and finally get rid of them. also it's will be mostly second hand if you like vintage

Go wear your manchild bulk watch to compensate for your lack of testosterone and cope as the real patricians take all the girls.

Kind of regret missing out on the "Beards, Tweed and Whisky" hipster fad about 10 years ago, was the only chance to wear a pocket watch we'll ever have.

Must be loads of them hidden in drawers now though.

>>17457397
What can I say? Fads are what they are, wearing girls watches was a thing then but not now.

>>17457401
What about it makes it a girls watch? It's just a rectangular watch. Unisex in fact. You can't say "because it's small", bc then all watches pre-1990 would be girl watches. Even more so in the case of the Tank, where the particular aesthetic it strives for is to sit like a post stamp on your wrist, and you can see how if fails with the larger versions.
If anything, watches are too big now and the current trend is slowly going smaller.

>>17457409
The fact it's supposed to look more like a bracelet than a watch

if you had to pick an italian watch from either 1971, 72, 73, 74, or 75 what year would you pick?

>>17457303
Because people here are and those in the hobby generally are wristlets who are scared of big, bold, in your face watches which is what Breitling specializes in
Breitling doesn't make watches for people who are self-conscious

>>17457428
wait, you think that's honestly big bold and in your face? this catalog is the 5'11" of big, bold, and in your face lol

>>17456820
It's a nice clock. I'd consider it if I needed a gmt

>>17456875
Is that a twin barrel? It better be in series

>>17457418
That's the point of a rectangular dress watch. Whether it fits your style is a different matter.
Same goes for the JLC Reverso, A Lange Arkade, etc.

Is it socially acceptable for a man to wear a 34mm Longjeans like this as a dress watch? Asking for a friend.

>>17457425

are there any designs specific to the function of reading?

>>17457465
That's why it's a watch and not a bracelet. You're not inventing the wheel here, rectangular dress watches have been a thing since the beginning of wrist watches and will continue to be so in the future. Men of culture reserved their Tanks for the most highbrow occasions. You just have a distorted lowbrow cultural view where men have to wear big watches and women wear watches that can barely tell the time.

>>17456873
I don't and also don't like the look of them.

>>17457486
I guess riding coach to Denver is a highbrow occasion to Cartier owners

>>17457460
short temper

>>17457486
I'm not talking about size, literally the situation is this
"It looks like a bracelet"
>Yeah
"Bracelets are primarily worn by girls"
>True
"So a watch that looks like a bracelet is a girls' watch"
>N-no it's a watch for the sophisticated type of man like Muhammed Ali, you're just not highbrow like Keith Richards

>>17457498
Men don't wear bracelets, but they wear watches. The Tank is a watch. And it is precisely because of its discreet look that it is worn by men.as a dress watch, as the male-equivalent of a bracelet. The more discreet and inconspicuous, the more elegant and patrician it becomes.

Just to be clear, you think men shouldn't wear rectangular watches? Cause that's pretty stupid.

Spiedel expansion bracelets are gonna make a comeback, I can feel it bros. I'm ready

>>17457438

>IWC is an American invention
Everyone knows this. But the point is they created watches for the Luftwaffe
You act like just because it was created 50 years prior by an American somehow excludes them

>>17457518
Just saying, bracelets are feminine and a watch disguised as a bracelet doesn't change that from being feminine.

I think people can wear whatever they want, but when someone is wearing a girly fucking watch and claiming to be sophisticated because of it, then I do have an opinion.

>>17457495
>jeans and a fucking blazer

>>17457529
>then I do have an opinion.
Maybe your opinion is worthless and that of an uncultured swine. But hey, wear whatever you want, right.

https://timeandtidewatches.com/list-10-actors-wearing-hell-jaeger-lecoultre-reverso/

>>17457541
>B-but these actors also wore girly watches
They were also actors, that's what makes them sophisticated, not because they wore a watch disguised as a bracelet. You wearing a Reverso or a Tank doesn't make you cultured and sophisticated lmao, that's probably exactly what JLC hoped people would believe when they paid actors to wear their watches in public.

My guess is that "sophisticated" types are all wristlets who can't into real watches, so they just repackaged a woman's watch as a timepiece for the "cultured" individual who is far too sensitive for masculine traditions, to keep them in the market for watches.

Please recommend nice used watches I can buy for a very reasonable price, I am a poorfag

>>17457523
none of those breitshiting watches are worth looking at right now

>>17457529
>Just saying, bracelets are feminine and a watch disguised as a bracelet doesn't change that from being feminine.
You are a strange doofus. Thats the old analogy of "if a man cares about designer clothes he must be a fag!" or "styling your hair with gel is feminine so when you do that its gay!"

Its okay to have an opinion, but just recognize when you're wrong and take the L.

>>17457562
Yeah there's wearing designer clothes and then there's wearing a Tutu because Harry Styles did once for a magazine and he's a high-brow, sophisticated pop star as evidenced by people knowing who he is.

>>17457553
How poor? Give us a budget and what you're looking for in a watch and we will find something.

>>17457551
It's funny because it's the other way around. All of these watches were designed for men, and then it got introduced to women as a unisex design. They're not masculine, but they're not feminine either, it's just neutral. You probably think most dress watches are feminine by the fact that they aren't filled with big masculine numbers like a chronograph.

It’s too big to be wearable but I like the design language here. I just watched John wick and saw some bucheror ad placement

>>17457567
Tell that to all the /fa/gs that wear $600 leather boots afraid to get them wet or creased. Or the dorks afraid to wear a bracelet style watch, that men have worn for a century, because it might be feminine.

>>17457579
Now that's a proper men's watch that this nigga >>17457551 can wear so he doesn't feel insecure.

Ugly as fuck

>>17457582
These threads are for posting cool watch pics not arguing. You’re just a slight step above kids arguing that blue is cooler than green or the best Pokémon

>>17457580
It is feminine, whether you care or not is the question, people ITT do seem to care that bracelet watches are considered feminine by instead introducing the idea that they're not feminine, they're "cultured and sophisticated", something masculine types just wouldn't understand with their big dumb wrists.

I have a lot more respect for Harry Styles wearing a hot fucking pink Tutu and making no illusions about that actually being anything other than girls clothes he is wearing to be subversive than any /fa/gs trying to convince me wearing a girls' watch because your Hollywood dreamboat crush wears one (possibly paid to do so) is sophisticated.

>>17457575
400 but preferably under 300 but there seems to be a lot of poorfagphobia here!

Why buy Royal oak when you can have this.

>>17457587
Yes very true. This thread is for posting serious replies. Just because some of us don’t have the dough to buy an expensive watching doesn’t mean we shouldn’t sacredly accept the toast into our hearts and minds.

>>17457582
My wrist would absolutely mog the shit out of that timekeeping slab of vulgarity

>>17457577
i don't see the appeal of this watch. it just looks so ordinary. except you're paying 50-100 times more.

>>17457598
Ok let's hear it. What do you wear?

>>17457599
It signifies how sophisticated and cultured you are to pay such a price for a basic watch, because a Hollywood actor got snapped wearing one by the paparazzi, both parties having been paid by JLC previously of course.

>>17456107
Opinions on blue dial / brown strap?

>>17457224
Agreed.
If it was 10.5 I would probably wear one.

>>17457589
Can you explain how it is feminine considering women generally don't wear bracelet watches?

>>17457579
What's up with those indices?

>>17457577
There's a saying that goes
>Are you man enough to wear a small watch?
but i doubt many will understand it.

>>17457611
Women do wear bracelets though and that's a feminine accessory, disguising a watch as a bracelet doesn't change that. The effect is still that you're wearing a bracelet.

Again, nothing wrong with being in touch with your feminine side and being comfortable enough with your gender identity to not need to cope this hard about being a wristlet with a girls' watch ackshually being more sophisticated than men with masculine wrists.

It's a girly watch for girly wrists, own that fact rather than embarrassing yourselves by listing off all the actors who've been paid to wear a girly watch to market Reverso and Tanks to people exactly like you

>>17457619
I'm confident in myself enough to not worry about very common fashion accessories being considered feminine or not. Sounds like you have some underlying issues going on and should seek professional help.

Tell us how feminine James Bond or Daniel Craig is.

>>17457619
Is the concept of neutral new to you?

>>17457459
Nobody will notice or care outside of the stuffiest, most formal settings, but "your firend" probably can't pull it off if he needs validation from a Tibetan sofa reupholstering forum.

>There's a conspiracy going on since the 1910's where every member of the jet set is being lobbied into wearing dress watches so that watch companies in 2023 can sell watches to people in touch with their feminine side.

>>17457596
I don't care for the fake Royal Oak case and bracelet but having a contrasting dial makes it way more legible than any of the colorways Casio actually offers.

>>17457630
The entire thread has had a meltdown trying to prove bracelet watches are not girly despite bracelets being a feminine accessory. If you don't feel like you've anything to prove, then good for you, much respect to you, but Anons ITT are talking like assholes claiming that wearing an effeminate watch is cultured and sophisticated and listing off celebrities they're clearly trying to equate themselves with.

If anyone needs to seek professional help it's clearly the Anons who are so insecure about their slender wrists they need to pretend they're a sign of a sophisticated individual and clearly having a list of celebrities they wish they were to mind at all times lmao

>>17457640
No don't be ridiculous, wristlets existed and also had money in the 1910s and that never stopped being true up until the present day.

>>17457644
You've never worn a pink or light blue dress shirt have you? I'll bet you think pastels are feminine too. I guess just jump up and down every time a bracelet strap is posted triggering your tranny rage.

>>17457530
It's a great dressed up casual look

>>17457603
It's about as classic as it gets

This anon literally cannot comprehend that tastes and attitudes change over time. Nor does he understand how fads work or the cyclical nature of fashion
Something that was in vogue years ago isn't now. Who cares? A couple years ago every brand under the sun thought they had to make every watch in their catalog 45mm big. Now everyone wants smaller watches again

>>17457604
I've got one and it's the one I wear the most. I kinda want to get a steel case mod but I'm unsure about the extra weight. As it is, it's so light it's surprisingly comfy to wear for its size.

>>17457661
>It's ridiculous to suggest there are features that can make a watch feminine
So you'd wear something like this then?

>>17457679
No thats clearly a womens watch. I wear shirts daily but wouldn't wear a blouse. If you can't tell the difference you're a doofus.

>>17457683
So what point were you making just now then? The point is that bracelet watches are modelled to look like a bracelet which is a woman's accessory. Who the fuck knows what you were getting at by asking about the number of sub dials.

>>17457687
>bracelets are feminine
>posts a women's watch without a bracelet
Which is it?

>>17457690
You suggested the idea that features can make a watch feminine is ridiculous, just demonstrating that actually there's loads of features that can define the gender of a watch.
>There can only be one kind of women's watch
No one is saying that you silly goose.

>>17457692
Again, are you new to the concept of neutral? Something not being masculine doesn't make it feminine.

>>17457699
But the point is a bracelet is a feminine accessory and these rectangular watches are designed to look like bracelets, that's not neutral, that's feminine. Case closed.

>>17457661
Power reserve indicators are very feminine. Men either understand how an automatic movement works or have the diligence to wind their watch once a day.

Can someone explain why moonphase watches are even a thing? I've never randomly thought "I wonder what phase the moon is currently in but I cannot be bothered to go outside at night to look at it"

Is it just the Swiss being autistic in making an unnecessary complication?

>>17457878
I like the window. Tissots are usually a little milquetoast and it species it up a bit.

>>17457947
NTA but I’m pretty superstitious so I’m constantly looking up the current moon phase to avoid bad voodoo

>>17457936

>>17457947
It's just a call back to one of the earliest uses for timekeeping, that being space observation and understanding how our universe moves around itself. There's no real practical purpose for it and mainly it's an aesthetic complication

>In a related study, an investigation of long-term menstrual cycle records maintained by 22 women shows that women with cycles lasting longer than 27 days intermittently synchronized with moon phase cycles and the moon's gravitational pull. This synchrony was lost as women aged and when they were exposed to artificial light at night.
>The researchers hypothesized that human reproductive behavior may have been synchronous with the moon during ancient times, but that this changed as modern lifestyles emerged and humans increasingly gained exposure to artificial light at night.

>>17457999
Theres no need to be a contrarian just to call someone a faggot. Day, date, time, and sometimes a stopwatch function actually makes sense. But even if I mentioned the moon was a 3/4 waxing gibbous currently, you wouldn't know what that is. Would you, faggot?

>>17458046
More waterproof, that's pretty much it and they're still built like shit.

>>17458066
to be fair it's pretty niche knowledge to understand what 3 or 4 wanking gibbons means. The other possible complications are far more useful to more people.

>>17457947
1. they're just neat
2. making a complication that gains'loses little enough time every lunar month to be "useful" is a bit of a horological flex
3. many of the earliest watchmakers were muslims and/or werewolves

>>17458020
>fucking women who have become fertile

If you were a basement dweller you wouldn't need a wrist watch since you would have your phone glued to your hip, so what you're saying is retarded.

Just saw the white birch with metal bracelet in person and it's ugly as hell. I don't know how it would look with a leather strap, but they generally look much better on GS than bracelets.

Why do watches look so good in movies and so shitty otherwise? I just looked up the watch that guy had in Prometheus and it's this Oris:

Looked amazing in the movie, looks like shit on the pic. What gives?

>>17458130
IWC Big Pilot, Breitling Navitimer, Rolex GMT, Zenith Pilot, Cartier Santos (the first ever "pilot watch"), Longines Lindenburg
Those are a couple watches with real flight heritage or are evolutions of that heritage
