/fa/ - Fashion

anyone have experience with this japanese brand called Vague?

they make homages to various brands, including some old school digital models

these all come with a rolex logo, not the logo shown in the pics.

don't mind me, just saving tens of thousands and convincing just as many girls to take their clothes off as i would should i cuck myself by paying real rollie prices.

GMT watches are stupid. There, I said it.

>>17496448
All tool watches are stupid these days purely by function

>>17496440
Swiss watches are out. German watches are in

>>17496440
man the maxi case really was a mistake,jesus

Seems legit, only 60 bucks too !

>>17496453
I have the SAR model from them. It's excellent, very well made. Also accurate to +4 seconds a day since the day I got it and the lume is awesome.

Muhle vs Sinn, who wins in this heavyweight match of the german 1.5 - 2k range?

>>17496461
I don't like divers or tool watches but the SAR is gorgeous. It mogs the Sinn u50

Any good watch brands from Austria aside from Habring?

>>17496456
It's not just the maxi case.
The fat indices and the large font on the bezel are hideous too.

>>17496466
The U50 is the exact model I was weighing against when deciding what to get, but the MÜHLE just sits way better on my wrist and the design is unironically helpful. It's design in such a way that the case shape minimizes how often it catches against clothing and such.

Also it is highly legible, perhaps the most of any analog watch I've ever owned.

What did they mean by this?

>>17496481
It's the name of the craftsman who made a limited run of them a couple years ago. The current ones aren't made by Casa Fagliano themselves, but are made by Camille Fournet using the same leather and patterns.

Here you go anon, I've had zero complaints, it's a great watch so far.

Are you 12?

>>17496490
are you the guy with the high end Citizen watches?

>>17496453
This orange is good.
>>17496457
This orange is meh.

Is there a watch with a strap that looks exactly the same or very similar to Rolex Day date but it is not as expensive?

>>17496500

>>17496502
nope. I only really wear the GS. any future watches I purchase will be of GS quality or better

>>17496516
Last time I used cursive I was maybe 16, and it was still mandatory in school. After that I never used it once, because I'm not an euphoric fedora.

What was Rolex thinking?

>>17496499

Pandering to amerilards, arabs and chinks.

>>17496533
Are pen threads on /fa/ or /g/? I'd like to get some more fountain pens. I have a fistfull of uniball vision Fines. I don't remember the exact size.

>>17496516
there's another watch anon on lit who owns various very high-end Citizen's, including a Chronomaster. he also collects fountain pens.

but idk if he still posts. all i remember is that Citizen can match GS quality as far as i could tell.

>>17496533
They can be as strong as I want them to be, as long as they're right, which they are. Cursive is cringe, and fucking gay.

>>17496538
>>17496539
why do watches and fountain pens go so well together?

>>17496542
ok squirt
>>17496539
i'm sure high-end citizens are very respectable. but GS finishing & sprung dice are indisputable industry leaders for aesthetic & precision
>>17496546
it's like rice and beans or big dicks and briefs. natural synergy

>>17496519
Not him but you are retarded, cursive is the fastest and most ergonomic way to write by hand if you learned it properly

>>17496546
Tools of a bygone era. Watches are jewelry because every nightmare window we look at has a clock in it. Nightmare windows also have keyboards or you can just tap your words on them in any font you want. Sometimes I find myself writing shit down on a crappy notepad just so I don't forget how to write.

>>17496516
You need to practice your handwriting more.

>>17496490
Left looks a little sus

>>17496568
nah, no real aspirations for penmanship or calligraphy or whatever

Stop projecting, anon.

>>17496595
anon, I couldn't care less what you think of my penmanship. as a man in the legal field, it has no material effect on my life

One day I'm gonna get an OceANUS.

>>17496620

>>17496620
prices went up after the obese autistic boomers on WUS found out about it

>>17496546
It's seldom what you do but instead the little touches in how you do it. Some would call it being cultured but really it's a matter of valuing the aesthetic over pure utility.

>>17496538
/g/ semi regularly but they don't last long. Just start with a pilot metro and some bottled ink and get autistic from there.

>>17496652
You tell me

>>17496660
The prices don't seem to be egregious from what I've seen but I can imagine it. A lot of stuff seems to have bloated in price due to hype during the coof.

>>17496448
They are. 99% of people with GMTs have zero desire to see the time in another time zone most of the time.
If you really do want to know another time zone's time plenty of digital shitters will cover you

>>17496762
>the virgin hover hands
lmao, not the worst on a casio, but

Is this Rolex ugly or cool? I can’t decide. I kind of like that it’s something different.

>>17496620
I had one but sold it. It’s definitely one of the best watches for the price but the design of the basic model is kinda soulless, the hands and dial layout was hard for me to really connect with.

>>17496836
it's a rapper's watch. only you can decide if that's to your taste

>>17496836
Pretty ugly imo. If they weren't basically unobtanium I'd get a 6541 milgauss.

>>17496516
>public education system
bud education has no bearing on iq

Am I going to look like an autist if I wear milsurp and want to get a digital casio watch?

I put a new strap in my Seiko shitter. I think my next watch will be Tissot prx 35mm. Then will never buy a watch again.

>>17496884
That's quite nice

Got a teddy bulbasaur vid where a lot of soi youtubers talked about their most worn watch. I want to say
No matter what a faggot says is his favourite watch in like collection rundowns or something, just KNOW that it 100% IS NOT his most worn watch. at the end of the day, the only watches they actually wear are their ROLEX, AP, VACHERON or PATEK. one of the fags there said his most worn was the seagull 63. bullshit, fuck off. another said it was a seiko. bullshit fuck off. another some stupid microbrand called "dubianshine diplomatic" or something. bullshit fuck off.
No one wears an oris or some other dogshit when they have a rolex in their collection. maybe inside, I kind of get it, you want a collection and maybe like the design, whatever. But if you don't wear an actual established known brand you are a retard, who won't move up. EVERY TIME you go outside there is a 23% chance you may bump into some rich guy who might be into watches. You don't want to be caught unprepared. Imagine this scenario and you say something like "oh yeah this is a "Oris big crown analpointer". Poof any chance to move up, gone.
No one no one no one no one no one no one no one no one ever wears anything other than a established brand when seen by other people, unless sponsored or retarded.

>>17496963
swiss watches are overpriced trash for arabs and soi guzzlers. Same people as the jacob and co crowd. Chads own 2 or 3 german watches in the 1.5 - 3k range and rotate them.

>>17496982
>Chads are actually poor.
Incredible cope.

>>17496985
post your jacob and co or GTFO you poor. No one cares about a shitty dime a dozen patek nautilus you overpaid for.

>>17496982
>>17496992
nta but this is too funny
what kinda retarded person copes about pateks being a dime a dozen

>>17496996
any middle class person can buy one. A new vacheron or patek is like 30k cash. Its like buying a honda civic kek.

now post your jacob and co

>>17496982
>Chads own 2 or 3 german watches in the 1.5 - 3k range and rotate them.
Speaking specifically of the ABSOLUTE state of country clubs right now, you aren't that far off. If they have nice shit, it's locked away in the safe at home. Times are tight and things are pretty conservative on the whole. Maybe a few datejusts at the mixers and galas but no one is seriously flexing right now.
t. some kind of manager, titles are just paper these days

>>17496999
i would be very concerned if you legitimately thought this was a good argument
i don't own a jacob & co and almost certainly never will

>>17496963
Dangerously based and one percent.

>>17496982
>Chads own watches in the 1.5 - 3k

>>17497004
30k cash on a watch isn't a huge flex you think it is. People have other priorities

>>17496963
you should get an meaningful job. talk to any rich person about the worth of your lesser-known watch and they'll immediately be impressed by the price tag, assuming the conversation ever even turns to watches.
t. high-level administrative position in state government, rub elbows with HNI republican boomers literally every day

>>17497011
I see no reason to buy anything nicer than a new explorer. Besides the royal oak everything is straight up ugly

>>17497012
>anon struggles to articulate the phenomenon of disposable income
c'mon little guy you're so close
tell me more about how pateks aren't a flex because people would totally buy them if they didn't have a limited budget with which they have to prioritize greater necessities

>>17497018
people spend disposable income in different ways. Not every wealthy and successful person immediately buys a watch worth tens of thousands of dollars.

>>17497020
you're almost there champ! go back to the part about comparing pateks in the watch world to hondas in the car world and how it's not a flex because a middle class person could totally just buy the patek over the honda

>>17497022
Im saying tasteful people tend to be conservative with the watches they wear daily. 30k is Honda money. If you’re flexing just because you’re super rich buy some meme shit like the rainbow rollie or jacob&co.

If you genuinely love some patek or vacheron then it’s justified buying one.

>>17497035
alright i'm gonna spell it out for you because you're veering away from the point
the vast majority of cars are leased or financed
$200-600/month is honda money
most people in america in the middle class don't even have $15k cash on hand
i made $130k last year and have $7k COH and about $35k in near-liquid assets after taxes & expenses
please stop mega coping. it's okay to accept that the holy trinity is out of your current price range. watches are fairly superficial and generally not a topic of conversation anymore. buy an apple watch and your wrist will be worth as much as jim cramer's

>>17497043
>some California retard renting in high cost of living
>130k salary only 30k liquid yearly

Kek figures you worship those shitty watches as a status symbol no one cares about. You’re still paying one off

>>17497055
i own my home in NY and you missed my entire point (and can't into basic math/inferences). also, there are no payment plans for haute horology as far as i've seen when visiting ADs of such
you're probably quite young and/or sheltered. no one cares if you need to wear a g-shock over a VC bro

>>17497062
You’re financially illiterate. How do you have 100k a year of taxes and expenses when you own your home?

Are watches your coping method to being a retard?

>>17497067
>near-liquid assets means the balance of my net income goes to taxes & expenses
like i said, you can't construct basic inferences. it's not a surprise that you planted your flag in "patek & honda affordability is the same" ground
good luck, little buddy

wish i had a batman :(

These guys arguing have to be two neets. I can’t imagine anyone else that thinks like either of them.

>>17496453
Too bad ze jerries couldn't make a decent watch even if their lives depended on it. All you ever see coming out of Germany are "microbrand" shitters with low-end Japanese movements.

>>17497073
They literally are the same affordability. Just because people who finance their vehicles find it convenient to overpay in interest and pay monthly doesn’t change that.

>>17497085
They use Swiss movements, though. Lots of them make their own movements for more expensive models.

>>17497085

Thoughts boys?

I think this watch wears beautifully, much more elegant than a gmt master. its criminally underrated in the market desu.

>>17497656
My main complain with the Explorer II is how similar it is to the GMT Master II.
Indices and hands are pretty much the same. The only real differences are the bezel and the GMT hand.
I wish they made it somewhat different. The original design was its own thing.

I still like it though. Nice Rolex.

>>17497655
>>17497656
I like it, but I love the polar version. I think the Explorer family is the only one that preserves the essence of the tool watch.

>>17497655
>toughts

I don't think anyone on /fa/ actually has a nice watch.

Probably because everyone is dirt poor with dirt poor parents.

>>17497656
Not as big as I remember but I prefer the 36mm OG explorer. Smaller cases feel more in line with a luxury tool watch. I mean the Explorer slots in as pretty much creating the skin diver.

>>17496447
Are they any good?

Good morning, my friends.
How is this fine day treating you?

>>17497934
not bad. doing case review on 440 motions in preparation for a big hearing on friday. how are you doing?

Is the moonswatch too big for a thin wrist? I tried on a skydweller on oysterflex and it was too big imo, the horns didn't reach the edges of my wrist but it still looked very big on me. Moonswatch is the same diameter so I'm guessing it'll be too big as well?

>>17497924
best I can do for you

>>17497917
been wearing it almost everyday since 2013.

So they lost how to make parts for somewhat coveted watches like the original accutron and a couple other watches. Why hasn't anyone put the R&D into re-creating or remaking that? Do they just not want to spend the money on a gamble like that?

based vostok bro, but get another strap, the stock ones are hot garbage and make the watch feel cheaper than it already is

>>17498068
I just sized this and it still sucks. You're probably right. Not as bad as a timex I had that would rip all the hair from your arm but not enjoyable. Pretty on brand, considering. I was thinking perlon but I don't know yet. Any suggestions? I have some nice black goat vachetta I could make something with but I don't think it would hold up long.

I'm just glad to have a real fucking watch again and not a screen I have to charge.

>>17498068
And on the whole, less the strap, it doesn't feel cheap. It feels like very expensive industrial equipment that is shitty on purpose. Like, the bezel is a reminder that your scuba tank was also made to the same specs. There's all these little touches that push it into a category you don't usually see. It's like a fancy tractor from 50 years ago if it were still in production. It feels like it was made by Italians, if Italians drank vodka and actually cared if something worked.

There's no pretense here. I barely noticed the biggest asshole in showbusiness wore one in a movie grug liked. I'd been eyeing one since before it came out.

Fits the look too. The kids meme about sleazecore but can't understand the finer mechanics of not giving a fuck.

Looking for a watch, saw it posted herecouple of weeks ago. Forgot the name. I can describe it as a luxury gshock. I think it was Omega? And TAG have similar style one? Can't find it now. It is massive, busy, and posdibly have hands and digital display at the same time.

>>17498220
>"caveman to the core"

>>17498235
Yes, thank you! Would you happen to know TAG watch I'm talking about? One that may have similar vibe. I think itvwas TAG

>>17498236
As an artisan I can tell you that rich fucks have been wearing spectacles since ground glass was invented. Few needed them. I just can't fucking see.

Took the expedition on its first camp trip. Already personalized it with a small nick. Still looks great. Woke up at around 5am just before sunrise and I could still read time off the lume. It's super long lasting.

>>17498239
Is it really? lol i didn't expect to get it right
This Tag?

>>17498254
Yeah found it too. Don't think it was this one. I recall it was more busy and with some kind of twist, like "engineer" or racing-space watch or something. Maybe it was not tag. But it was in the thread near mars timer somehow, because i would not have found it myself.

>>17498254
Do you think the bosses at Tag instructed their designers to make a uglier version of a Casio that looks nearly identical to that one?

>>17498244
Nice, I ordered one on Sunday hopefully it's not too long of a wait.

>>17498262
This Tag maybe? Was it a pilot's watch perhaps?

>>17498262

>>17498267
No, not this one. I would describe overall aestetic as "Are you sure this is not G Shock?" Busy as fuck with all kind of stuff. Chunky.

>>17498273
The Omega Speedmaster maybe? I'm out of ideas, i don't dabble in busy watches that much, pehaps some other anon can help.

its such a shame that there arent more watches where the display is so very well integrated.
such an underrated feature.

Don't live in fear, you may as well sell them

getting a machete to the arm to nick yer watch isn't that uncommon yaknow. there are buses, lorries and vans running through london with big signs on them warning people to not wear luxury watches outside.

>>17498262
are you talking about my breitling aerospace brotherman? i recently traded it for an x-33. i post in this wt every few weeks so idk if you're talking about me or not.

pic related, i loved it but the x-33 has been a dream watch of mine for a long time and functionally it serves me better than the aerospace.

>>17498374

Thoughts on the 14270 Explorer?

Looking for something nice to wear every day that doesn't attract attention. Price point on the mid 90s models looks good, potential to become more sought after in the future as well?

>>17498262
also here's the product page with the specs/ref if you're curious. it's a great watch.

https://www.breitling.com/us-en/watches/professional/aerospace-evo/V79363101B1/

>>17498393
14270 is the best explorer reference next to the 1016.

>>17498379
Is that the "night mission" one that has brownish 3/6/9/12 numerals? I never can tell because the lighting is always different in everyone's pics.

>>17498390

Nobody is going to stab you for an Air King

>>17498399
those were just the first links i found. there are plenty.
i'd chop off someone's hand and do a runner for air king money if i was skint. i mean why not? morals mean fuck all if you're hungry.

>>17498398
yes, at some point i think breitling dropped the "night vision" name and just uses "Evo".

the digital display is visible when using night vision goggles, which i assume is why they called it night vision initially but i guess most people didn't really care that it could do that.

>>17498406
It has slightly more brownish display and brown numerals which I like (with the brown canvas strap especially). God knows what it could actually be worn with except tacticool/motorcycle gear though. Really wanted one before I realized that. What did you wear it with, just everything?

>>17498404
I can't stop you feeling that way but you may as well leave your phone at home and go around in Primark clothing since otherwise makes you a target. And of course, don't have a car or bike in London.

>>17498398
fyi the color of the dial always seems to come out different depending on the angle. i too had questions about it's true color when i was in the process of buying it. pic related again

>>17498417
Yeah I already figured out that it has a blue anti-reflective coating, lots of Breitlings do, so it goes from pitch black to sky blue depending on the lighting/angle.

>>17498420
Loads of people wear designer clothes and watches in London, and park expensive cars on main roads. A watch is one of the easiest things to hide. You'd probably get your phone stolen before somebody tries to take your watch

>>17498397
1016 is the grail watch for me, proportions are amazing but prohibitively expensive nowadays. Rolex would be printing money if they released a new 36mm explorer with the 1016 style numbers

>>17498359

>>17498426
after years and years of tory government, the middle classes are in more danger of being burgled/robbed/mugged.

>>17498414
>>17498419
i wore it with everything because black/dark watches look good on my skin tone and sporty clothes, but it's definitely no dress watch.

also fyi, these coated titanium watches can get very visible scratch marks if you do scuff it, so that's something to consider if you care about that stuff.

>>17498374
Part and parcel.

>>17498428
>Rolex would be printing money if they released a new 36mm explorer with the 1016 style numbers
Absolutely.

>>17498374
>he doesn't covertly carry

>>17498442
so only you ever see your watch? what's the point in owning the damn thing? they're there to show off, not to tell the time. use your phone if you want to know the time. they're jewellery we want to be safe displaying.

You can't make a direct copy unless no one alive remembers the original and the few inheritants don't matter.

>>17498444
I meant covertly carry a handgun

ohhh ok. yeah i'm in england. instant prison.

>>17498452
guns cost as much as a rolex in the uk, and they're impossible to find, plus if you get caught you're fucked, years in prison guaranteed, so even if you have a good reason for using it you can't. instant prison. fuck that.

>>17498446
I don't mind if some details are different on a reissue of an old watch, as long as they don't do shit like increase the diameter by 4-5mm and slap a date window on. Though it is nice when the reissue is nearly identical to the old piece.

>>17498454
>guns cost as much as a rolex in the uk, and they're impossible to find
Simply not true. You can join a shooting club and they'll hand you an AR15 and a shotgun quite easily. Alternatively you can get them from where Jamal and Abdul get their machetes but they won't work.
>years in prison guaranteed
It's 6 months for the miniscule chance somebody ever searches you in public. I have never been stopped in the 10 years I spent there

>>17498456
>You can join a shooting club
no i can't.
>>17498456
>6 months
no it isn't
>the minimum prison sentence for firearms offences is five years for an adult and three years for a 16 or 17-year-old. The maximum prison sentence for firearms offences is typically ten years, but if other crimes are involved, then it could even be life imprisonment.

It was Breitling Aerospace indeed guise. I messed up with it being TAG. Thank you for help friends. It was Breitling.

Sorry I was about to attach a cat picture to express my gratitude, but my HDD died (or it maybe it just a little under the weather) with all my meme pictures on it/

>>17498458

I'm considering buying a mint prx, just so I have something to walk around the clubhouse with. Anybody have experience with them?

>>17498555
Vaguely, what do you want to know? They look 80s as fuck IRL.

>>17497924
Same, I don't get why there is almost no watch like that anymore. It's like they purposely stopped making watches with too many desirable features. Thin and small? Forget lume. Want lumed hands and indices? Forget thin and small, you need a chonky diver!
Pic related is the best thing I was able to find for cheap. 37 mm, 10 mm, good lume, a bit boring but decent looking. Otherwise Junghans has some small and thin models with lume, but I find them so dull

>>17498528
teddy is a scammer who's mostly just selling shitter aspirational cope watches to gullable souls

what about this >>17497924? they’re like $500 exactly

The goblin summit convened in Geneva back in 89 and decided never to attempt making classic designs without fucking them up completely. Want an old watch with lume from the archives? Get fucked, here's it but 48mm and everything that was good about it replaced with tatty fuck. Want a reissue? Can't do that, someone might compare it to the original. Want an watch? Haha, you think we're Timex or something? We're limited to shit with outsourced 80s movements. I'm just going to get the cheapest marlin I can find and say fuckit. Pawpaw would have done the same.

Doesn't look much different from the real deal to me

Finally got my hands on this motherfucker

>>17498635
Is the hour hand independent of the GMT hand?

>>17498635
why can't they just make this with a normal case shape and not shitty hands

>>17498432
>because black/dark watches look good on my skin tone
Wait are you some kind of a brown person?

>>17498642
They stopped making watches we'd like and ibstead make them too big, too thick and always with some little thing that spoils the whole watch.

>>17498235
If these were around 1k and a bit smaller I'd be all over them

>>17498324
I love this watch
Somehow in production since the late 90s without a single change

>>17498645
Come home,comrade. Those are features in the promised land.

>>17498639
Its a traveler's GMT. So yeah the GMT hand can be set independently.
>>17498642
I like the case shape a lot actually. Works perfect with the domed crystal.

been on a Casio binge recently. I got me a duro and a datejust. the datejust is sadly a little bit too small and too formal for my taste. I still like it. I wanted to buy the new tiffany dial one but obviously those are sold out. Perhaps I go for the Citizen Tsuyosa. Only thing holding me back is cringe retro aesthetics like that linear case style 12 o clock and 6 o clock from the 70s.

P2k kino

>>17498672
Anon you have no idea what a Casio binge is...

>>17498705
there's only two good looking watches there anon. why would you buy so many shitters?

>>17498710
You don't seem to understand.

Not my pic but this has to be one of the nicest Seiko 5 dials out there. I can get one for $150, what do you think?

>>17498789
The checkered outer ring is nice, go for it.

>>17498020
Wristlet here, I wear it anyways.
The case stands pretty tall, which makes it look bigger than it is I think

>>17498950

>>17498946

Fuck this keyboard. Too bad I have no money for a new one.

Looking for a watch
> Your budget
under 200 (poorfag)
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Not sure, see bellow
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
quartz or automatic but don't really care
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
The less complications the better
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
brown leather strap
> Wrist size or desired watch size
40mm or less

Basically what I'm looking for is a daily driver watch that can blend with most outfits. Only requirement is brown leather strap. I'm looking for something cheap and reliable without many stuff on the dial. Day/date might be fine, but not a requirement and nothing more than that. Maybe a flieger or dress watch, and preferably something on the thinner side, so no divers nor huge bezels. Something that says "he¡s wearing a wathc, OK", but not "Oh, that's a nice watch" if that makes sense.

>>17498946
Cocktail time at 420€ and Weekdater at 300€ plus 140€ for servicing it.
