What to look for to avoid buying fake Orient Sea King? I've settled on the gray dial version. Any tips?

Thoughts on Mido? How does their quality compare to Longines, being in the $1k range?

>>17464850
32mm, 36mm, 41mm

>>17464810
Just buy it directly from Orient
If not, get the reseller to provide you a SKU number from the box. And a picture of the actual box itself too.

RA-AB0F14L19A

When people say Longines punches above their weight, hat exactly are we talking about? TAG and Tudor tier?

>>17464891
*what

Just got back from my Seiko AD and tried on the SPB143. Does it look too big on my 6.5" wrist? webm related.

>>17464874
It's not exactly made anymore so I can't get it from orient. Thanks for the other advice.

>>17464922
I would say it looks too big, sorry :(
Nice webm tho

Is there any analogue to this, but cheaper?

>>17464922
Slightly yes, but I don't think it looks bad.

Watch itself looks really good in webm. I googled it and it looks so much shittier in the photos. Would not look ai it twice in the photos.

>>17464938
its a dive watch

>>17464922
Yeah. Too big, unfortunately. Maybe it would look better on a rubber strap? It would still be big but maybe less comically so.

>>17464935
>>17464947
>>17464955
Thanks guys. I might try the BB58 next and save up for that instead.

>>17464938
I heard Omega is planning on discontinuing these NTTD Seamasters.

>>17464922
Jesus fucking Christ mate are you literally twelve?

>>17464972
Nope. Just an asian twink.

>>17464969
Yeah, would be logicall. Honestly even 1k is alot for me for a watch, so I'm not sure I will be able to make ~10k for the original in time. I don't want to wear fake, so i wonder if thereis any good similar style or homage watch?

>>17464806
Absolut perfection, anon
Patrician taste/10

>>17464845
Go buy some generic casios, faggot. What kind of first world problem is that?

Where to cop quality F.P. Journe replicas?

>>17464987
From your local F.P. Journe boutique.

Heading to an AD tomorrow to finally see all these watches in person and maybe pull the trigger.
Just to be clear, should I avoid Seikos above $500 or do they justify the price? Like, comparing a Seiko 5 diver VS a $500 turtle VS a $1K Prospex diver?

>>17464987
That's heressy, anon. You should burn for that.

>>17464993
Just know that each and every single one of them used to cost 2-10 times less a few years ago, so your call really.

Where do I get a John Wick watch for cheap and how much is it, can someone post a link?

>>17465002
Couldn't find it with the white dial and black strap but this is it.

>>17465001
It's fucking over. Seiko getting worse qc and more expensive. Nobody filling in that void xcept for orient I guess, luxury brands also getting proportionally more expensive than inflation. Normal income individuals gonna be priced out of watches.

>>17465002
Found the black strap one.

Sucks to be you, should've bought some property before inflation :)

>Jeff Basedzos

>>17464922
Get a watch that fits you, it's pathetic to see this webm

>>17465015
Damn, looks very basic compared to the movie, like some mall Citizen or some shit.

>>17465011
>>17465026
Also wtf @ the price did they add a zero?

>>17465021
Not over yet. Still time to buy but poors will be priced out of seiko in the next 5 years probably.

>>17465026
Dress watches dont tend to be flashy anon, you've been watching too many rap videos.

>>17465015

Even better, if I didn't have an Omega DeVile as my dress watch I would be all over this one.

>CHADimir Putin

>>17465031
I don't mean it doesn't have bling it just looks poorly made like it's fucking plastic or some shit, it looks very elegant in the movie lighting so I expected something great. Oh well.

>>17464938
The Certina C032.607.48.051.00 has a similar color scheme and is part of the same company as Omega. Very much the same style as the Bond watch.

>>17464850
I was really considering getting this watch as a daily driver but the way the crown juts out like that looks really hideous.

>>17464806
Found this watch in the attic and I've been wearing it to get some juju. How do I stop the strap from tearing? I lay my wrist flat on the table when I'm writing and I think it's putting pressure on the strap and making it worse

>>17464806
for me the perfect collection is:
casio a158w
seiko sarb033
fake cartier ballon

>>17464938
You’re in luck.

>>17465210
If it's an old rubber strap there's nothing you can do. Watch bands are easily replaceable, though. I'm guessing it's a casio, sometimes those are tricky and need a third party attachment to get other straps to work. What watch?

>>17465259
Love my PD.

>>17465201
Wow same, wanted to get one, but will never unsee now

>>17465281
I wish I could just order them then with the original brand name on the dial.

New to watch shopping. Is price haggling a thing for higher end watches? If I got to a boutique will I have any leeway or will I be politely but firmly shut down?

>>17465304
If you're rich and famous you'll get it for free, if not you won't even be allowed to buy it.

>>17465304
The only haggling you can do is to get them to sell you anything at all.

>>17465304
>If I got to a boutique
They are just low self-esteem fairs.
Anyone with half self respect should avoid these shitholes.

>>17465305
>>17465306
Retail price only then.

>>17465311
Why do you say that? I'm comfortable with car shopping, I don't see watch shopping any different, just want to knox if haggling is a faux pas. I don't believe I can shop online solely. I like to try the watches on. Pictures and videos can only do so much. Not to mention I don't want any future watch being delivered via post.

>>17465313
>I'm comfortable with car
Do you really think watches are cars?

>>17464806

>>17465331

>>17465313
Boutiques are pretty limited to msrp. If you go to an AD you should be able to score a discount though.

>>17465449
The best boutiques can do is throw in some straps. To be fair, though, some of those straps can be pretty expensive. Get two out of them and it's 500-1000 dollars.

>>17465379
The people change. This place used to be a big dive watch circle jerk, now there's big hate for divers. Personally I never liked the Polaris, it looks too cheap to be JLC.

>>17465457
>The people change
Some things never change, though, like the poorfag seething.

Unironically, that's what I like about this place. Guys are free to be envious little shits. On mainstream watch forums everyone's lying through their teeth about how "happy" they are that some other guy got someone else's grail watch.

Other than chrono24 is there a place to safely get watch parts or complete movements? I need to replace the movement in one of my shitters but can't find the ref online.

>>17465479
Local watchmakers will frequently order a part for you if you ask them.
Complete movements, if they're common enough, can be easily found online.

>>17465482
That's the thing, my local watchmaker can't get the part I need. The movement is old and uncommon. I was considering getting a watch with the same movement to use as donor, but that almost doubles the price of the movements I found that are all out of stock.

>>17465389

>>17465485
Well unfortunately that's just one of the risks that come from owning vintage watches

>>17465513
I don't know, why wouldn't you?

Thinking of replacing the leather band on the vostok for a canvas one to keep it water ready at all times. I'm torn between a beige and black band

>>17465513
Depends on how much of a wristlet you are because in the modern age 34mm is not a masculine size

Option 1

Option 2
I'm leaning towards the beige band for contrast

>>17465304
I saw Breguet in the window of a high street jeweller shop in the English midlands last week with shitty red SALE stickers on them. 'WAS £52,000, now £40,000'. One of the funniest things I've ever seen, had no camera but may go back.

>>17465560
Yeah, I know. My local watchmaker said he can put a quartz movement on it. I'm not too keen on that but coukd be a temporary solution. I will go and check with him this afternoon and see what he has to say in person.

>>17465602
I'd go with the beige

>>17465604
What's the watch in question?

>>17465604
Yeah a replacement movement is likely your only option while you're searching. I mean with the magic of 3D printing these days perhaps you'd be able to fabricate the part required for not much money.

Like industrial grade printing, not those hobbyist home printers I mean.

anyone know of a women's manual windup (no automatic) watch? I have been buying my self some watches I wanted and my mom said that she's really wanted one like that.

>>17465611
>Like industrial grade printing, not those hobbyist home printers I mean.
Ghe difference between the 2 is becoming less and less noticeable by the year.

>>17465305
For free? Oh no no anon you've got it all wrong, you get the watch for free and you get paid to wear it in public as an "ambassador" of the brand.

>you will never be paid to wear a watch you were going to buy anyway

>>17465613
Perhaps this might be to her taste, the Tissot Porto

>>17465610
>>17465611
It's a Lip Tallon like picrel. I feel like putting a quartz movement on it it's kind of an heressy, even though Lip sells similar watches with quartz movements.
The watch is of course not one I would wear on a daily basis and according yo my watchmaker, the less use old automatic movements get, the more fucked they get. On one hand, a quartz movement is the more practocal solution and woukd save me money and trouble in the long run. On the other hand, I feel like the watch won't be "real" anymore if it makes sense. Like putting a japanese engine on a Mustang.
The watch has a lot of sentimental value to me, so it's not about monetary value. I would love to wear that watch again.

>>17465625
It's totally understandable anon, but it's not like the watchmaker will keep or throw away the movement if he puts a quartz movement in, just keep the movement and then just hope that the part or full working movement you need comes up someday.

If money isn't an object here, I'm sure there must be a way of fabricating the part you need, but where and for how much I wouldn't know.

Can we get some collection?

>>17465634
>Two speedmasters
Why?

>>17465634
Best I can do at present.

>>17465625
I'm sure there's got to be an automatic movement you can cram in there, your watch maker just sounds lazy wanting to use a quartz movement.

Here's part of my trash

>>17465646
Would that really change the reality that the watch doesn't have the same internals as the original watch? I doubt it's out of laziness that anon's watchmaker is suggesting quartz, surely the work that goes into securing a movement of any type into a case not designed for it is the same regardless of what the new movement is.

>>17465654
I think his main concern is he hates the quartz movement but I understand what you mean. Maybe anon likes his watches to sweep instead of ticking.

>>17465653
Based.

>>17465634
No. I love the dial layout on the Omega, looks good.

>>17465630
>>17465646
>>17465654
>>17465656
The gist of the story is that when the watchmaker called I wasn't at home and my wife didn't fully grasp what he said. Apparently, on top of the part that's broken the movement is really fucked since that watch has been sitting broken in a box for years (I stopped caring about watches years ago and only recently got back into them, thanks in a big part to this general). I will go talk to the watchmaker in person in about an hour and see what he has to say and what he proposes. I guess I could also contact Lip to see if they are able to provide a new movement... if they still make them. We're talking about a 70's era movement here.
I fear the quartz movement would make the watch feel less authentic to a degree, but then again it would be less trouble in the long run and the main selling point of these watches was never the horology, but Roger Tallon's design. And again, even though I like this watch and how unique and uncommon it looks, its main value for me is sentimental and what the watch represents, so no concerned about resale value or something like that. I want to keep this watch until I die, even if I will only wear it once in a blue moon.
I guess I'll decide once I talk to the watchmaker. I'll let you guys know then.
Thanks for the pointers, everybody.

>>17465634
Shit.
>>17465644
Shit.
>>17465653
Shit.

Throw all that shit in the bin and get yourself a Rolex.

Thoughts on the Seiko Speedtimer?
Are there better poorfag chronographs?

Those watch boxes seem okay for secure storage, but for my closet it wouldn't free up any space. Are there any vertical watch trees or stacking storage that could help organize my watches and free up a little shelf space in my closet?

>>17465634

>>17465598
Fuck "modern age" masculinity. Look at what people wore during the 30s-60s and tell me they didn't look masculine. That Seiko if a wonderful watch, even for non-wristlets

>17465693
>>17465725
aw shit its shit aw shit shit shit aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww shit

>>17465727
Oh they looked masculine, in every way except their tiny, girly watches.

>>17465634

>>17465634

>>17464806
This watch has the ugliest hands I have ever seen, holy shit.

Would you consider this strap to be too tight?

>>17464838
I really want to like Grand Seiko but those hands and the weird German fracture font that has no obvious connection to Japanese history whatsoever put me off.

>>17465780
>weird German fracture font that has no obvious connection to Japanese history
Probably because putting Japanese characters on anything makes it look like weebshit and not as luxurious.

>>17465389
Looks fake.

Does ANYONE on /fa/ even own a fucking value watch?

Why do you all own shitters?

>>17465777
nah, sometimes it can be comfortable to have it snug

>>17465634
pic related

>>17465789
Yeah but why fracture? I love the font used for the normal SEIKO logo, they could just put "GRAND" in front of it and use the same font, that would be 300% better.

>>17465777
checked
are you a ghost?

>>17465790
it has the same alignment issue as that explorer of the guy who claimed that he picked it up at an AD, make of that what you will

>>17465812
Yeah I like it snug, I hate having my watch moving about on my wrist, but I have had multiple people now telling me it's "dangerous" without being able to elaborate on what they mean by that.
I'm not in pain, my hand isn't turning blue, numb or cold.

>>17465815
No I'm just a Swede that has been living with 4 hours of daylight for the past 3 months.

>>17465814
Additional differentiation when looking at them. If a Grand Seiko otherwise looked nearly identical to their Seiko 5, buyers wouldn't buy a GS because a Seiko 5 would be 95% of a GS for 1/50th the price.

Its just like lincoln has to change up the general image and nicities despite being a ford underneath to justify the higher prices.

>>17465697
Anyone?

>>17465727
>>17465744
This is the same watch and it doesn't look tiny or particularly feminine to me. I mean maybe it depends on the wrist.

>>17465634
Ok, my friends. Just because I haven't in a long time. Also, very old pic.

>muh feminine
you know whats feminine? collecting watches like women collect shoes lmao
if you have more than 5 watches you should be thrown into the sea

>>17465898
>collecting things is feminine

do you know what else women do?

>>17465913
Constant bitching and hormonal whining even though it's about a situation they put themselves in and can walk away from? It's that, isn't it? What do I win?

>>17465898
No need to ruin the party just because you're on the rag.

>>17465886

>>17465693
Get new material

>end up wearing quartz watches simply because I don't have to reset the time as often
it's ogre

the rolex explorer is so fucking ugly oh my god

>>17465948
Different strokes, brother. The Explorer is the only Rolex model I genuinely like. One man's trash...

>>17465948
I honestly don't know what I hate more, the new air king or the explorer.

Bought a watch year ago, but have barely used it because I cant bother to change the strap (which I also bought already). Is this depression

>>17465937
winding up my mechanical in the morning is literally one of the highlights of the day

>>17465937
This is why I don't like dates on my rotation pieces. If it's something I wear occasionally I don't mind it but I'm usually switching between 3 different watches and one normally dies at some point and having to make sure the time isn't between 9pm and 4am when setting the date is annoying

Took myself off the list for Rolex, don't feel like it anymore.

>>17465886
MORTADELLO RITARDELLO
MANGIATORE DI FAGGIOLAAAAAAAA

>>17465956
>Is this depression
Yup

theres something flamboyant and homoerotic about big watches

>>17465978
I think that's just a you thing, chief.

Am I autistic if I care about the box a watch comes in and the extra goodies? Rolex and Omega have great boxes and little goodies that come with it. Some brands like Tudor are lame and even get beat by shinola in the amount of shit they come with. One of the seikos I have game with a pair of shot glasses.

>>17465886
I can barely deal with 5 watches. Why do you have so many?

>>17465685
I'm back from the watchmakers and the news are worse than expected.
For once, Lip was never distributed in my country so there's no supply of movements or spare parts, I'll have to contact an old school watchmaker in France and hope for the best.
Regarding the quartz movement, there's no guarantee that the date will exactly match the window. On top of that they'll have to change the hands. They can get something very similar but the watch would lose part of its iconic look, and don't like the idea.
I found a movement online that might be adapted to the watch, but it's 90€ and I have no guarantee it would perfectly match the case and date window, nor if it will be compatible with my watch's hands.
Add to that that we're still talking about a movement made in the 70's that who knows how much life still has in it, even if it's working properlu now, and once it breaks we're back to square one.
So I was almost set in switching the movement for a quartz but I'll have to think about it.
Thanks for reading my blog.

>>17465998

>>17466002
Why do you seethe over anyone who is more successful than you?

i inherited a 70 year old automatic watch from my grandad that he had in the military
you guys told me to take it to be serviced before winding it up
so i looked online for a local watchmaker
he wants $670 just to inspect it

i thought fuck that because its a generic watch that only has sentimental value
so i wound it up and it works just fine
its runs slow by about a minute per day

eat shit you pretentious faggots
bye

>>17466016
adios

buying a breitling

>>17466016
>$670 just to inspect it
wtf is that kek i had to service my 60 year old Seiko twice and it cost me a total of 140€, is he breathing gold or something?

>>17466016
yeah I found a 40s universal geneve ww2 watch in very good condition and the watchmakers wanted $450 minimum to service and look at it.

>>17466065
that's pretty cool

>>17466016
>>17466026
>>17466042
The way I see it these guys aren't exactly tripping over customers so when they get one they have to make it profitable and it's not like you can go to someone else to get your watch fixed.
One time I was waiting in line with another guy and we did we usual small talk and I found out that he was there to have the crystal replaced after he had scratched it up while crawling under his car and I asked him if he had just tried to polish it with toothpaste because it had worked great for me and the watchmaker made eye contact with me and it looked like was imagining himself splitting my head open with an axe lmao.

>>17466026
>>17466016
I mean if his bread and butter is servicing $20,000 watches and he charges $1000 to service some super wealthy guys watches, why would he cut you a deal for a watch that costs $400?

The alternative is spending $1000 on tools of your own and doing it yourself hoping you don't break or lose anything

>>17466070
>>17466068
I'm not disagreeing with the business model, the shop regularly manages expensive watches like you suggest and has a reputation as one of the best in the country, it's just unfortunate I can't fix up an 80 year old watch I found that costs about as much to get a new one as it does to service. I see the cons of especially vintage watches

>>17465573
Is your arm broke?

>>17466016
I'm the Lip anon. My watchmaker didn't charge me anything after the ordeal. He reckoned he'll charge me about 50€ give or take to put the quartz movement.

>>17466068
>The way I see it these guys aren't exactly tripping over customers
Perhaps, but my watchmaker has a constant flux of people coming in to get their watches repaired or serviced.

>>17466087
No, just my bucks.

To fully emulate the look buy an AKS-74u and get a 45 round magazine for it.

Just went to a store that had everything from Casio to Piaget and JLC, and unironically this Edifice was one of my favorites.
I was about to buy it until I actually held it, and boy did the bracelet feel like absolute crap. Genuinely felt like cheap plastic even though it's supposed to be steel.
I guess I should have expected as much for a watch worth $100 which isn't even made in Japan. Any recommendations for a similar style under $500 (ideally, or $1000 at most) which actually feels solid?
(Don't say PRX, not a fan).

One way or another he influenced your purchase or lack thereof, just buy the things you like regardless of who does or doesn't like it, they don't matter.

Just buy a Real Oak?

Buy from a JP seller, basically impossible for it to be a fake.

Do orients even have fakes? It's not a fucking rolex or patek you know

What kind of a watch tool set should I get if I just want to swap bands or remove links? I'm clueless since there's a bunch of different sets available with slight differences

Those ain't even factory baka broke boys shoulnt be allowed to post here

In your mind, do you rank watches by price or by brand?

For example if 6 guys sat at the table
1st has gold and ceramic rolex daytona
2nd patek aquanaut ss
3rd vc overseas chronograph in ss
4th ap ro in ss
5th has tudor bb58
6th has snowflake

is the cheapest watch from higher ranked manufacturer higher on food chain than more expensive model from the lower ranked manufacturer basically

>>17466219
You know what I can do that you can't? Survive an encounter with a cop, lmao.

>>17465304
An Authorized dealer might give you a discount if it's a watch they might not be able to move easy a boutique for the brand won't give you any discounts.

>>17466241
This anon is wrong, amazon shit won't have the right tolerances. Watch tools need to be actually Swiss made. >>17466237

>>17465634

>>17466280
I generally don't rank watches by price OR brand but by the watch itself. Something a pre-consolidation Cartier Santos-Dumont may not be that expensive, comparatively speaking, but it's definitely more interesting than anything on that list.

Of the guys at your table:

The Rolex is worn by an attorney who needs to be able to communicate to normie clients that he's successful. (He doesn't actually care about watches, but he likes to use the chrono to time his steaks when he's grilling.)

The Aquanaut is one of the lawyer's clients. Everyone at the table knows he's rich, but he' actually a LOT richer than anyone at the table knows.

The VC is worn by the Aquanaut wearer's friend, who knows he's not as rich as Aquanaut, but wants to appear as rich anyway.

The AP is worn by the attorney's friend (also an attorney) who's just gotten into watches recently and discovered Gerald Genta.

The Tudor is worn by the attorney's nephew. He just graduated from university and hasn't yet decided what he wants to do with his life. He'll probably spend a couple years travelling the globe before going to law school and working for his uncle.

The Snowflake is worn by one of the IT guys at the Aquanaut's company. He wasn't actually invited to dinner. He was sitting at the bar and he noticed his boss at a table, so he walked over to say hi. He failed to read the signals from everyone else and confused politeness with an invitation to sit down and join them.

>>17466309
Neat.

It pains me that you have my 3 grail collection right there.

I'll look into it.
What about changing the bracelet? Afaik it's very common for people to swap leather and natos and so on, but I haven't seen anyone use a different metal bracelet than the one that comes with their watch. I imagine it's possible right? Are there any good brands for that?

>>17466315
Nice answer and explanation. Also, lmao at the part with the IT guy

>>17466168
thanks

>>17466342
>I imagine it's possible right?
Yes, but the thing is that the expensive watches already have expensive metal bracelets. Putting a 500 bracelet on a 100 watch is kinda pointless.

>>17466316
cheers, not a great pic but it kinda surprised me just how much this wee thing benefits from sunlight
this is more what it looks like on a day to day basis

>>17465634
i used to have a rolex but i gave it to a friend.

my parents are very wealthy.

do not bully me.

>>17466342
Uncle seiko makes lots of after market bracelets. It really depends from watch to watch. If you want the end links (the links that sit on the springbars) to be flush with the case then you need to get specific ones for your case, you could gets something like a sharkmesh/milanese or an engineer bracelet that just has straight end links that leace a gap.
>>17465259
This is an example of a milanese bracelet, this one just happens to be a stock option for the watch
>>17465644
On the bottom row here second from the left is an aftermarket engineer bracelet iirc
I'll end here because I'm at the gym. Someone else can elaborate more if you hace questions

Since most of you here are loaded with money and i'm kinda broke, can i ask you for a small btc donation? Even 50 bucks will help. I will pay rent and buy actual food and can post pics later on. Thanks a lot!

>>17466338
Am I wrong?

>>17466280
I would lean towards brand over price but typically would rank them based on how much I like the model and reference. Personally I would rank in this order.

>Daytona (I just like gold)
>Aquanaut/Royal Oak (pretty similar movements)
>Overseas (don't like the look as much as the regular overseas)
>BB58 (it's nice, just not for me)
>Snowflake (it's a weeab watch)

>>17466329

>>17466357
>>17466352
Makes sense, thanks. I'll see if I find another watch that I like and if not I'll consider changing the bracelet on this one.
>I'll end here because I'm at the gym.
Go hard Zyzz.

>>17466367
You think Warren Buffet is winning compared to a multimillionaire who has his youth? Who do you think will dominate socially, in sport, with women between the 2 of them? Warren Buffet because he's a billionaire? You did say the one who has the most money wins at every aspect of life.

>>17466362
Yeah i know, it's worth a try.

Because there is no reason for people to care how much money you have anonymously online unless they are going to give you something. Just makes you seem like a dick head if you are just going to flaunt your wealth to nobodies online and not share.

wassup watchbros, i want a 40 or 41mm white dial arabic numeral automatic midrange (~$500) shitter but nothing seiko, hamilton or tissot has makes me want to pull the trigger, what are some other commensurate brands?

>>17466492
kek nice catch

>>17466493

>>17466493

>Seiko 7T34-6A90
Given to me. Pretty much never worn. It's a quartz and takes two batteries and drains them in less than a year. Don't even wear it.

>Citizen AV0021-52H
Titanium, sapphire crystal. Had it since 2010 and it's still going strong, somehow.

>>17466505
thanks
>takes two batteries and drains them in less than a year
that sucks

>>17466509
>that sucks

Yeah. It's a mint watch, really complicated looking with the four dials and everything. It's some kind of milestone watch for Seiko when it came out in 1989, I believe, for what I don't remember. Little conversation piece handed down that I'll hold onto.

Is there anything more "urban" than this?

>>17465634

>>17466520
Fake diamond watch worn upside down with the wrong time would be a lot more ''urban''.

For anyone considering an automatic PRX, this might be of interest. 900 bucks with an in-house movement

>>17466531
>wristmaster

>>17464832
No. They're stupidly sized and priced and tend to be less well built. The only digital timex does well is the Ironman

>>17466483
The movement is an off the shelf movement compared to the in house professional I think. Still has the omega nice styling. Almost got that one because I wanted a date but instead got the og speedy pro

>>17466598
>The movement is an off the shelf movement compared to the in house professional I think. Still has the omega nice styling. Almost got that one because I wanted a date but instead got the og speedy pro
I also didn't like the asymmetrical look. They should just make a speed and replace the left dial with a day date instead of moving the name to the right.

>>17466531
Apparently yema has a high failure rate and bad customer service ymmv

>>17465634
Both Montblanc were free.

>>17466605
Why don't you sell them?

>>17466608
Because I use them at work.

>>17466531
Looks amazing, too bad Yema is a shit company with shit customer service and quality control.

And the name is lmofoayeleyo.

>>17466612
Ah. So they're your beaters?

>>17466630
Yes, plus I can only wear Montblanc timepieces at work.

>>17466643
Do you use a Montblanc fountain pen? Got a MB 149 and I kinda want a 146 also, they're really nice but the pilot 823 I use is just as nice (probably nicer) but doesn't have muh snowflake. Pelikans are also nicer pens

>>17466648
I have a regular fountain pen that I keep at home, at work I use a ballpoint meisterstuck from the around the world in 80 days in the classique size and a le petit prince rollerball in the big size.

>>17466497
If you can find a deal on some place like Jomashop Alpina would be pretty solid.

>>17466650
I like the design but I can't into nice ballpoints or rollerballs because they just write nearly the same as your day to day Bic disposables. Like getting a hot rod with a shitty basic engine or more apt to this thread a grand seiko with a basic seiko entry level movement.

>>17466655
you gotta be white to know how to write

Havent added one to the collection in a bit. Looking at the tissot prx chrono also at the new seiko gmt, if i can fucking find em

>>17466655 (checked)
Same. When I buy a nice pens, they're fountain pens. Ballpoints are meant to be disposable. Writing with a Montblanc ballpoint suggests you like the brand but don't know how to write with a fountain pen.

Thoughts on Dan Henry?

>white people make rules blocking asians from completely taking over higher education
>bububut writing is only white people!
right

>>17466655
I keep rollerballs and ballpoints around because clients, you can't be letting other people use the fountain pen. Ballpoint for regular sales and the rollerball for $10k+ sales. I do travel with a ballpoint too just because of convenience.

>>17466686
Rent free much?

>>17466658
Are you a burger? This guy sells the seiko gmt on his site and you can get a discount on sign up, although it is a discount off of msrp (gmts still kinda tough to find though). I live pretty close to this shop so I was able to pick it up and get it sized in store and he was an extremely nice guy. https://www.timescapeusa.com/

>>17466710
Correct, I don't pay rent because, being a model minority, I own my place. Lucky for us, for the time being you people seem to have decided that Jewish people are why you're a loser, but it wouldn't take much to turn on us. I think the main reason you haven't done so is that you have this idea we're going to help you hurt Black people if you just push hard enough.

Is AP's Millenary discontinued? The collection isn't actively displayed on their website besides an information page.
