>18th century
Did you even read the comic dude.

It would be an early 20th century Vacheron for obvious reasons.

I can't sell this, I like it too much and I'm going to get a new battery. It's delightfully yellowed just sitting in a drawer

>>17492048
The dark greens are too harsh for me personally with the brown tobacco but meine kleine freunde loves them.

Another one for the weird wrists collection.

>>17492049
You passed the test, now I will engage with you. Yeah he would have had a dank watch but this is a man who who can read the stars and probably carried an Elgin because he's knows it's going to get washed out his pocket and the French and "French" go elsewhere for the finer things like artists looking for a brush.

>>17492052
Dark green is regular menthols. And yeah, everything NAS makes is strong enough to make a cowboy cough.

>>17492058
>probably carried an Elgin because he's knows it's going to get washed out his pocket
I mean it's not like Vacheron was particularly fancy at the time, it was just a watch.

I imagine he would get something gifted to him since he always gets free shit, and he would probably keep the one with the most weight in gold for the same reason gypsies wear gold earrings.

>>17492064
Only in the mornings which is why I should quit. Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

Are we talking young corto or old corto, keep in mind I haven't read much not in English and it's sparing. I can peg his cigarette and pipe tobac in an instant, putting a watch on his wrist is heresy. Had he one, it would be fresh and funky and 3 would exist in the world right now.

torn between doxa 300 professional and Caribbean. Orange or navy blue?

>>17492069
I personally imagine being a dickrider and throwing him a 30k watch just so he can pawn it. Not too nice to sell, just nice enough. Like you have the best watch on the planet and already know what time it is, near enough.

>>17492071
I've heard of people quitting smoking altogether with spirits simply because how how dense each cig is and the intensely high nicotine due to the leaf-only and denser rolling. Kinda like instead of drinking 4 really shit weak coffees being replaced with 1 single super strong shot in the morning to skip "needing" the drug of caffeine or nicotine which are chemically similar.

Given however that is with the fastidious and complicated clothing, it'd need to be a dressy and very formal watch, but not pretentious.

>>17492071
based corto autist however i think corto would wear some kind of french skin diver desu

>>17492046
>>17492052
i saw this in the other thread, knowing nothing of the character, but thinking it was rather an attractive design, and your pictures have confirmed that

>>17492082
This ciggy is so decadent and American that anyone who hadn't had one all day gets sat the fuck down. I can see how it would dissuade someone but it's like chipping fucking heroin once you've had the real fucking thing for years. One is bored by it yet it still obliges.

Official nic watches are

>Vostok, apparently but not surprisingly
>Seiko worth a fuck

Dont know much about watches but this is my daily wear. It's real nice having some time zones a button press away. What does /wt/ think?

I am looking for a dive watch, I like this but this seems expensive for a
>seiko
But at the same time I don't want a shittier seiko 5 with the shittier movement and glass. If I can get it for around 900 burger bucks is it worth? Any alternative recs?

It's my fav from my daily drivers and beaters.

>>17492019
I prefer to wear a watch on my right wrist, so the only options I'm really seeing are G-shock, digital watch and Invicta has some right-handed watches. Is it retarded to wear a watch with the knobs on the wrong side? Should I just get used to wearing a watch on my left? Am I overthinking this?

>>17492189
>>17492194
Seiko is literally known for their divers. And that's a gorgeous, gorgeous design.

If you want to compare to some Swiss watches, check out Mido and Longines offerings in the same price range. If you want the same quality for a lower price, you should look at Tissot Seastar.

>>17492194
i find these a bit lacking in value for their price.
I'm looking for an MM300, personally as i think its Seikos best watch yet and with the GS movement its pretty great value.

>>17492221
>MM300
That's a nice fucking case right there

What's Sinn's best watch? I find that they are fairly simple looking. Is it just me?

>>17492218
>>17492221
I feel like there's not much middle ground between shitter seiko 5s and rolex submariners in terms of price. Was looking at omega seamaster 300 too (I hate the release valve) and Copedor Black Bay

>>17492243
>I feel like there's not much middle ground between shitter seiko 5s and rolex submariners in terms of price
You sound like a fucking retard

I have sober and the other subpersonalities that take over and I leave dogshit nigger work to them, so I want to gift a nice watch to do it. Which watch cleaves the gap?

I'd go with orange

Easy, the EZM 1.1

>>17492262
U-50 is absolutely gorgeous too. I repeat: German cunts.

What's a good diver or other everyday watch with a sub-45mm lug to lug? I don't want to have to spend hundreds on an SKX013 that wasn't stored up somebody's asshole. Affordable prefered but would be willing to pay more for something worth it.

It's my first watch and I just like it

>>17492217
Yes you are overthinking this. I'm left handed and all other lefties I know wear watches on their right hand, it doesn't change anything except maybe make chronographs and crowns ever so slightly more cumbersome to use but you don't get the crown digging into the back of your hand. Not a big deal.

It doesn't. Sproong Drive is more accurate. Hi-Beat is cheaper to service, though.

how do you pick the worst dive watch in the catalog of not one but two brands? grand seiko makes some cool watches but gmts are very clearly not their strength. the patek is just plain horrible

>>17492996
Ah that's a shame. So if I enjoy my GS SD, which watchmakers can I look at for comparably elite aesthetic and function? Of course I know the usual comparisons are PP, VC, AP, etc. Outside of grossly bank-shattering ultra boutique makers like Richard Milles, is there anyone else?

>>17493002
ALS, some of the higher end JLCs and Piagets.

Why are vintage Vacherons so cheap? This is being sold near me for about £1,500.

>>17493006
Got it, thanks. I'm in no rush to buy, anyway. I love my Cherry Blossom GS and need to have a much larger net worth before investing into this money sink.

>>17492976
Tha's something desirable, you soend a lot of money and don't have to deal with nosy people saying "wow a Rolex, you must be rich".

>>17493012
You spend a lot of money on a watch that's only slightly cheaper than a rolex, is worse than a rolex and has a fucking quartz movement. There's a big gap between desirable and delusional. Let's not speak about the resale value.

>>17493011
Because its an annoying brand name to say and looks like a $40 mall watch.

>>17493011
I don't know,but I like slim and simple dress watches and the Vacherons are kinda cheap,you can get them in gold for about 3000€.

>>17493021
>looks like a $40 mall watch.
No it doesn't. What 40 dollar mall watch is made of white gold?

>>17493012
my friend has a Milgauss and doesn't even like it
>>17493019
this is such a tired trolling method. everyone outside of babby's first watch knows Rolex is fine for resale but outperformed in terms of functions by many brands. Rollies have some great designs though

>>17493011
How big is it?

>>17493011
Small dress watches simply aren't that popular. Even people who really just care about the name on the dial aren't going to wear tiny, fragile dress watch.

>Check it out, I bought a VC!
>You bought the cheapest, shittiest VC you can find. All you've demonstrated is that a brand name can obliterate your sense of reason.

Also, really cheap ones tend to be frankenwatches.

>>17493027
36mm
>>17493028
>Also, really cheap ones tend to be frankenwatches.
But this one isn't. Also, it's a bit too nice even if it is the cheapest shittiest VC. It has a Geneva seal on it.

Okay how will anyone who isn't a metallurgy nerd tell the difference? I understand some people like white gold because they just hate the yellow but your average person will NOT be able to notice a piece of jewelry is white gold or chrome.

Aren't most dress watches 36mm?

Then buy it already. It's pretty obvious that you're using us to vet your purchase for you.
>I-i-i hope sempai likes my new watch.

>>17493034
>Just bite it lol.
You want people biting your watch to prove its a gold alloy? gross.

>>17493037
>Nobody notices any watches these days.
Correct, which brings me back to my original point: it looks like an inexpensive watch. Wear it because it makes you happy but its not exciting enough to generate enough attention from watch nerds because it looks generic and plain like a $60 watch. Those are sleeper watches because you know how special it is but nobody else does.

why do people pay a million dollars for a Richard Mille? is it simply because obnoxiously loud + ridiculous price tag = prestige? or is a RM actually superior in any other way to alternative haute brands?

>>17493047
>sleeper watches
a.k.a wastes of money

Why buy a watch that only really sticky people like?

Best case scenario, no one ever notices and eventually even you get bored with it.
Worst case scenario, a sticky person notices your watch and you have to have a conversation with him while your crush notices you talking about fucking wrist watches with a sticky person and thus assumes you're one of them.

At least timex is honest about water resistance, kek.

>>17493045
No I don't want to
I was asking why they are so cheap

A watch is first and foremost for the wearer a constant & reliable personal companion. You wouldn't rely on others to approve of your best friends, would you? The same goes for functional accessories. If you have a strong connection with it and it performs its job admirably, then everything else is extraneous. Price tag scales with function & materials & arguably aesthetic to a degree, so it's justified as long as you personally place fair value on whatever amount you've spent.

>>17493053

>>17493026
>Rolex is fine for resale but outperformed in terms of functions by many brands.
Name these "functions" you're talking about.
And then name these "many brands"

>>17493062
timekeeping accuracy
tourbillons
gravity resistance
moon phase
stopwatch
lume

AP, GS, ASL, VC, Omega, PP. Maybe even Tudor and Breitling and Longines. Rolex in terms of function is Tag Heuer tier

note that I don't care if you don't appreciate these things. you're arguing in bad faith anyway because you have nothing better to do. the fact of the matter is the Rolex is out-engineered in essentially every way. the only thing I'm not sure it's inferior in is waterproofing

>>17493071
G-shocks do all that stuff better than every brand you listed as better than Rolex.

>>17493077
sure, buy a G-Shock or whatever else makes you happy

>>17492054
lmao r u druk yet? XD

>>17493079
I don't like g-shocks, they're chunky and kinda ugly. I'm not aware of any of the brands you listed that are within a second per day, has toblerones, why the fuck would anyone need gravity resistance, moon phases are dumb, stopwatches are only used by uninteresting people, and lume? just turn on a light lmao.

>>17493085
GS is -1/+8 and +/- 10 for the year. Spring Drive was such a breakthrough that the Swiss refused to enter GS into their comps after getting walloped a few times

also Rolex minimum is +/- 2 s/d

>>17493071
>timekeeping accuracy
Rolex has the most accurate mechanical base movement of the watch industry (-2/+2s/day). They produce a million of these every year. Nobody beats them at timekeeping accuracy.
>tourbillons
>gravity resistance
>moon phase
LMAO
Don't claim I'm "arguing in bad faith" and then say ALS and VC are better than Rolex at making fucking tourbillons. You know what else Rolex sucks at? Making computers, cars and washing machines.
Rolex is a luxury sports watches brand. They're the best on their market. Period.

>>17493071
Rolex has always been little more than bulletproof sport watches. I don't even think they're in the same category as a lot of the others. Maybe Heuer.

>>17493094
>Nobody beats them at timekeeping accuracy.
/wt/ might not be for you
also I listed many things that many makers are superior at compared to Rolex. not my fault your reading comprehension led you to think that means all makers are superior at all things to Rolex
please get a better hobby than failing to bait rage in a slow-moving general on a Mongolian throat-singing image board. you unironically might need to have sex

Sup Watchlets.

>>17493095
Rolex has brilliant marketing. It is esconsed in the "heritage" tier of watches along with much pricier makers like Patek or Audimars, even though those are seen as more similar to jewelry (not that people don't butcher their Rolexes in order to "customize" with actual gems). Good for them.

for an expensive watch, is it better to have a steel bracelet polished or replaced if it's accumulated wear and tear? in my case, it's many light scratches

>>17493102
is that a fake AP?

>>17493099
Look, things are very simple.
I'm claiming Rolex produce the most accurate mechanical movements of the whole watch industry. They use the "Chronergy" escapment technology and are certified at -2/+2 s/day. Rolex build over a million of these every year.

Now name these "many brands" that produce better movements. Do VC, AP, Breitling or Longines make more accurate movements than Rolex? If yes, give me the references numbers.

>>17493011
Even the basic tune up of a pre-1995 VC costs thousands of dollars. It's extremely expensive to maintain.

>>17493011
Occasionally this style of watch comes up that cheap. I think of buying one and modifying it. Make the inner part guilloche and gray. Adding the Maltese cross. Changing the markers.

>>17493102

>>17493111
I think they earned it with their iconic 60s sport watches. Prices are a little ridiculous now because of the "heritage" branding but that comes with the territory. The whole image surrounding it is funny, you have the status obsessed knobs but the bulk of the image is from people who wear them to hell and back and the relatively cheap servicing. I was never really sold on them but they're really charming and understated if you're just looking for a daily driver built to take some knocks. It's such a non-statement at this point.

>>17493120
you're once again re-framing the argument due to your own reasons

buy what you want. if you want people to ogle at your Rolex, more power to you. I own a Rolex myself; it's a decent watch. I personally much prefer my GS though in essentially every single way: accuracy, movement, finish, aesthetic, weight, etc.

to each his own, as they say. I need to get back to work. have a nice day, anon

pic related: hopefully my next purchase within 5 years

>>17493137

>tourbillons
tourbillion adds no function to the watch. it's a fidget spinner for rich people.
>gravity resistance
do you mean magnetic resistance? because the gravity shit would have been covered by the tourbillion and everyone knows that shit is entirely pointless. rolex uses antigmagnetic components like everyone else. they don't brag with 6 gorillion gauss because they know it's a meaningless number to everyone spare a few emc test engineers

>>17493034
Lol what do you mean, it's the perfect size.

>>17492985
God I hate these watches so much. It's like a retarded cross between a dress watch and a sports watch, but it's somehow neither. Is big + metal bracelet but has no lume. Such a pointless and shit design. Fuck you, GS redditor.

>>17493178

>>17493091
I thought most GSs have -3/+5 spd accuracy.

>>17493187
It's a rather small face at 40mm lug-to-lug. You can opt for the crocodile skin over the metal bracelet as well. As a part of the "Elegance" line, that model is definitely a dress watch, nothing sporty about it.
>>17493189
The most complicated Spring Drives are -1/+8 daily.

>>17493176
Grand Seiko SBGA413
I just like the brand and that particular watch, it has a very nice dial.
Post your Rolex.

>>17493190
SD has a stated accuracy of +- 1 spd or +-15 seconds per month. Mechanicals have -3/+5spd afaik

>>17493135
Generally agreed. Rolex did an amazing job at making their watches look cool through action shots with famous people doing prodigious shit. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't wear the Daytona or Presidential. Even the Milgauss is quite nice.

>>17493188
They are not really comparable, but people still try for some reason.

>>17493211

can you please elaborate?

>>17493203

>-1 to +8 seconds per day is specified as target values

When I bought my watch from the GS boutique in Manhattan, my boy Weston told me it's really more like +/- 0.5. In my experience, the watch is pretty much perfect to the millisecond from the time you set it.

>there's an alternate timeline where Hublot sponsored the James Bond movies and became a powerhouse brand

can someone help understand the difference between these three watches? I'm a newb - but I like this style, what's wrong with going for the cheapest one?

I'd mainly wear this at work (city of london) in a suit. Would it look weird in a casual setting, say jeans and a t-shirt?

Of course in reality all 3 of those models are quartz and you'd be a dumb retard for buying any at that price. But you do you.

imagine being this level of butthurt over GS SD being superior to conventional mechanical. it's not even an argument of being a purist, you're definitely just a massive faggot. all expert watchmakers and horologists and high-level watch hobbyists admit GS SD is amazing. but you think your opinion matters just because your existence is centered around anonymously screeching about rolex lmfao

>>17493278
>imagine being this level of butthurt over QUARTZ being superior to conventional mechanical
I'm not butthurt and I accept the truth. Just won't accept that you should pay 9k for a quartz fucking gook watch

>>17493268
I'm not, I'm probably looking to spend 2k max. I originally saw this >>17492194 and liked it and did some more research. I understand they're very different watches I know, but I've always wanted a rolex submariner.

>>17493269
don't know if I can trust someone's opinion who can't even quote properly on a mongolian basketweaving forum.

thanks anons. I'm gonna go into the seiko shop and ask to see the SBGA375 and SPB1431J.

Never been to a fancy watch shop, I already felt so out of place when I went to the tailors.

I hereby require all pro/anti- X luxury watch brand posters to put their money where their mouth is by providing a timestamped pic of their collection in order to earn a (You). Otherwise you are just a pathetic weirdo trying to live through others.

>>17493307
Just buy https://www.seikoboutique.co.uk/product/grand-seiko-quartz-3/

>>17493307
Good luck. Make sure you check out some other brands too before committing to a hefty purchase. I love GS but ultimate horological precision is objectively some nerd shit. If you value aesthetics or brand name or something else more, don't be afraid to act on that. Check out several brands and you'll know which one you love when you wear it.

Don't listen to anybody here absolutely and make your own choice. Most people are miserable LARPers wearing some Soviet shitter out of financial necessity.

>they are now putting Formula 1 car parts into watches now
that's one way to increase the price range.

>>17493311
that was my initial instinct.

>>17493312
any other brands/models you'd suggest to take a look at that are similar?

>>17493313
What does an analog watch symbolize these days? Of course it is still a fashion symbol, but to what end? Is it simply the equivalent of jewelry, or perhaps a way to self-identify based on aesthetic taste?

I doubt there are many genuine appreciatiors of horology outside of the watchmaking industry who are orgasming over the jewels, finish, movement, and precision.

>>17493315
What line of work are you in? I imagine finance (banking?) given tailored suits + haute accessories? If banking, what kind specifically?

>removed some links from one of my expensive watches

>>17493315
>that was my initial instinct.
It's the correct choice for you. It's the cheapest and will be the easiest to maintain. Especially for as your first watch since it won't need servicing.

>>17493316
>I doubt there are many genuine appreciatiors of horology outside of the watchmaking industry who are orgasming over the jewels, finish, movement, and precision.
There never were.
For the overwhelming majority of the 20th century, even when everyone wore a watch, most people just didn't care about how it worked as long as it was within 30 sec/day. They cared about how it looked.

>>17493315
Rolex is right next to GS boutique in London. Try on a 36mm date just. GS weebs will flame at me soon but at least see some other brands before you spend so much money.

Another nice GS model I really like is https://www.grand-seiko.com/jp-ja/collections/sbga445
Definitely something more unique which makes it worth it.

>>17493322
What an interesting clash of foundational ideals vs. practical mainstream application. It makes the end-result seem inherently abused.

>>17493324
Anyone who is tribal about watches of all things is a fucking L O S E R

>>17493316
The whole point of a sport watch is to suggest that while you probably don't plan on setting a dive record or climbing K2, you can if you wanted to. I think now it's also a statement of utility in response to the ills and shortcomings of technology.

>>17493332

Nigger, I recommended him to try on (NOT necessarily to buy) a Datejust and I even recommended him another GS sproong drive model which I sorta like. How the fuck am I tribal?

>>17493315
>any other brands/models you'd suggest to take a look at that are similar?
Without turning everything into a shitshow, honestly, Rolex. A 36mm DJ (or OP if you don't like a date window.)

They look good, they're reliable, they're accurate, they're comfortable, they're tough.
Rolex does not make insanely complicated watches. They keep it simple and make sure that they make everything as good as it can be made.

>>17493336

i work in london market reinsurance. Basically international specialty insurance specialises in one square mile in london, so all brokers, reinsurers and syndicates are in the same place. The work is interesting but very transactional (client lunches, drinks, dinners, etc.). I'm an actuary so I don't handle the business like underwriters/brokers do, but therefore my comp isn't as juicy.

>>17493343
Okay, that's exactly what I wanted to know. You're more of a backend guy for the front-end to make the right deals. In that case, buy what your heart desires. If you were the one hunting for the deals, I would've recommended something that's ostentatious normie-bait, like a Rolex or a higher-end Omega or even a fake Patek.

As an office body, I truly think you need to buy what speaks to you. Your job relies heavily on precision and forecast, in which case I think a GS vibes strongly. Check out the Rolex store and others too. You're in London proper, you can look at everything before you buy.

Also, do not listen to anybody commanding you buy something specific. You're the one who's shelling out the money and wearing the piece for a long time to come. Make sure you live it, therefore make sure you try a bunch of brands and models. I do have a hunch you'll settle on the GS but try out several solid options.

I find it quite rewarding as I'm quite outgoing for a nerd. Underwriters like it when you look at them when you speak at them. The meme of coders, IT guys and statisticians being unable to hold eye contact is true.

It's a niche, lucrative market and I have expensive taste and big aspirations with no real family wealth. I want to own property across europe, live in switzerland, and have my kids go to good schools.

>>17493356
Thanks for the recommendations. It's quite interesting that I don't really pay too much attention to watches, but I've definitely noticed a few rolexes in my office. I'm probably leaning towards the GS.

On the practicality side - I normally just wear my garmin daily cause I cycle to work and run. Do you shower, sleep, cook, etc. in your luxury watch? Or is it something you put on like a suit - solely with a purpose.

>>17493371
You sound like a dumb wanker.

>>17493263
They're all different, the case and dial in particular, the movement also. All three would work with a suit, but the cheapest one is the most appropriate as it's black and restrained. All three would work very well in a casual setting. The Lake Suwa one is the best looker out of all three in my opinion, also has the best movement. You can clearly afford all three so there really is no reason not to go for the most expensive one, it's objectively the best and the quality is there, you probably wouldn't be disappointed. But there is nothing wrong with the other two. My advice would be you go to a boutique and try them out, that way you'll know for sure which one suits you the best, and maybe you'll find something else that you like as well.

>>17493371
>It's a niche, lucrative market and I have expensive taste and big aspirations with no real family wealth. I want to own property across europe, live in switzerland, and have my kids go to good schools.
I don't know how senior you are in your line of work but when you're looking at Excel for 50 hours a week like me you will want to kill yourself

>>17493378

>>17493387
No

>>17493378
Not senior at all, I only have 3 years of experience so I'm still very much the spreadsheet monkey. Hopefully I'm slowly phasing out of it as I'm becoming valuable in other areas. I definitely don't envy my boss who seems to be in pointless meetings all day and has little time to do actual work.

>>17493376
thanks anon. I'll definitely ask to see them all and try them out, but I'll probably lean towards the cheaper version because I think I need a stepping stone, as the most expensive watch I bought was a garmin 245.

>>17493390
You don't want me to save your life?

>>17493391
A stepping stone would be something under a grand, you're already in "just get a Rolex and be done with it" territory.

>>17493391
>3 years of experience
You'll be back on Excel after 10 more

>>17493366
It doesn’t look bad. Not a fan of the wine colored bezel, but could be worse.

>>17493366
I don't see much Omega in it but yeah essentially it's a TuLex. Those triangle indices look ghastly.

>>17493392
Yes

>>17493391
If you do indeed opt for a quartz model there is nothing wrong with that. Most important part is that you like and enjoy the watch.

>>17493395
big difference between spending 1k on a sinn 556 vs 10k on a rollie explorer.

Buying some 4k piece of shit like an omega or tudor is when you reach that territory

>>17493395
>A stepping stone would be something under a grand, you're already in "just get a Rolex and be done with it" territory.

This. You, me, we all know that you're going to get the Rolex eventually. Buy it now and save yourself time and money.

Between the 6000 dollars you lost on shitters, you're effectively paying 15000 for a 9000 dollar watch.

Give it time. They lean mature.
I'm in my mid-30s now.
When I was in my 20s, it was all sports watches on bracelets. Now, it's nearly all thiner, dressier pieces on leather straps. I only still have a single bracelet watch, which I keep since it was a gift.

not trying to flex, I'm not rich. just trying to generate positive discussion

>>17493481
Generally prefer their dress watches however

>>17493487
The Rolex is the obvious choice but I have a soft spot for those ugly tag huehues with that stupid plastic bezel. Given the choice I would take a Rolex but I would be thinking about the tag on my way home with a Rolex, kinda like st a party where you go home with the nicer girl from the night out, but you think about all the nasty sex you could have had with the slut who was coming on to you.

>hey anon what time is it?
>t-time?

>>17493483
Nah, i've already developed my taste, and besides that i'm poor so i don't intend on buying any more watches. I just like looking and chatting about watches that's all.

>>17493487
Well as a Seikofag naturally i like the GS the most, and if i'm honest i kinda like the other two as well, cool to see a Rolex without the cyclops, and the Tag isn't that bad either, nice and chunky.

>>17493487
Can't help but love the 62GS case shape.

>>17493490
I definitely prefer dress watches as well. I also like pieces that strike a nice balance between classy and pizazz, or sell the sportiness of the watch very well.

>>17493493
kek the Tag is definitely what I would wear if I was getting rough and rowdy. good outdoors watch
>>17493504
thanks man, the Rolex was handed down to me by my dad so I guess it predates the cyclops
>>17493511
agreed, I consider the GS to have the most elegant and streamlined experience. no real fat on it. the only thing I would've done differently is maybe insert a colored second hand, but maybe it would've clashed too much with the logo & color/texture of the face

>>17493486

>>17493547
The teal one. I can see where they were going with the green one (bamboo) but i think it's a bit too fresh for me, it would be hard to pair with clothes. I personally prefer more subtle stuff, picrel is one of my favorites.

>>17493553
>isn't it gonna break in like a month
Why would it?

>>17493253
Thanks anon, that got a good chuckle out of me.

>>17493553
They're better than automatics that cost twice as much. More of the cost goes into the case and quartz designs are pretty bulletproof and often use self lubricating plastics that need zero maintenance.
