Last thread was legendary

>nooo! post your collection! nooooooo!

>why don't you like my nippon shitter :'-(

Niggas out here buying Rolexes when they don't own their condo/house/apartment LOL

>>17514321
Holy shit, I've been immortalized. I love it.
>>17514326
>>17514330
>>17514331
Guys, just post your collections. I promise it's not the end of the world if you don't have fancy, ultra-exclusive status symbols.
>>17514333
I own a house in the suburbs and am planning on buying a rental property by EOY.

>>17514335
>lives in the suburbs
hahahaha loser

HAHAHA JUST

>still flailing!
This faggot is the most entertainment since Frenchtard

if you're on 4chan to impress other people you're a fucking loser no matter what

>>17514335
>Thanks /wt/ (3/3/23)

I’ve decided to buy one of these to commemorate getting my private pilott license :)

>>17514335
Happy for you but it’s still funny that you posted a text of you apple polishing Alan Shekelberg Esq. like it was something to be impressed by.

>>17514345
Is it bad that I prefer these with smooth cases

>>17514338
Hopefully you get to try it out one day, it's a nice balance between city & rural life.
>>17514340
I live on Long Island, like 20 minutes out of NYC.
>>17514342
You know it just shows how desperate you are for an internet victory when you're trying to pretend the two options are I'm furious or I disappear out of shame, right?

I'm the only one who actually posted my watch. I'm just puzzled by the intensely hostile reaction. I couldn't care less what you guys own and would compliment it, so I don't know why you're all meltdown down.
>>17514344
That would apply to those pretending to own VCs and refusing to post them. I just tried contributing to the watch general by posting my main piece.
>>17514346
Not everybody gets a meme pic. I'm honored one of the very angry anons went through the effort.

>>17514321
>it’s another autism edition

>>17514350
Someone on here does actually own a VC

>>17514348
Anon asked me what determines my worth. To me, excelling in my career is one of the things I'm proud of so I used a text message from a founding partner of my law firm as an example of that. Really nothing more to read into than that.

SOTC

>>17514350
>just shows how desperate you are for an internet victory

>>17514355
I'm sure! There are a few anons that have nice collections on here. What I don't understand is why the anons that don't have a 5-figure-plus watch feel the need to disparage others. It just shows a sad lack of awareness.
>>17514357
Does the Vostok keep good time? I see it posted a lot on here.

>>17514357
Lol you're the gay retard who sucks off Tom Selleck, makes sense you'd have the cheapest shittiest Speedy ripoff.

>>17514314
it was like 789 when I got my house 5 years ago, I get regular alerts through turbotax that tell me the score goes up and down despite not doing anything but paying my mortgage and credit card. its completely arbitrary and meaningless but a great way to charge financially stupid people more money.

>>17514359
>Does the Vostok keep good time?
I've had it 3 years and still haven't gotten a 22mm strap for it yet so I don't know

>>17514350
I've lived in
>suburbs (dallas)
>rural (kentucky)
and cities
>mexico city, sanfran, chicago
and cities are far better if you're not a pussy and have money

>>17514360
>you'd have the cheapest shittiest Speedy ripoff.
That was a gift from my parents. I wouldn't buy one myself but I appreciate it and it looks ok

>>17514364
I prefer rural in close proximity of a city

>>17514364
I'd rather have 4 acres for 1 million than 3500 sq ft for the same. YMMV.
>>17514365
It's a very nice watch, anon. That other dude is just self-hating and insecure so he takes it out on you.

>>17514356
A lot of us probably have similar attaboys from the bossman or whatever but we don’t fucking post them here, man

>>17514365
Just replace it with a real one it's not like they'd notice since they're poor low IQ trash.

>>17514333
Buying a (AD-acquired) Rolex is unironically a good investment nowadays, though. It will instantly appreciate to 2-3x the retail price. Real estate underperforms the stock market, and if you’re living in the house and not renting it out, the you’re probably not making much.


Rolex flip > index funds > real estate ownership


t. Own my house outright (and a Rolex as well)

>>17514372
Bit harsh

>peak Grand Seiko watchmaking

>>17514371
I didn't just post it randomly - I was asked a question and I responded with appropriate context, especially given the likelihood that the very miserable person I was responding to does not have a job he's happy with.

>>17514349
I think it’s looks fine just more formal, I wanted something more for casual wear

>trying to find this model with box+papers
>all shipping from japan
fuck me im moving soon i cant wait for japan shipping

>>17514377
God, my man. You are the best lolcow this thread has had in a while.
Really, man. Thank you. I don't care about watches one way or another, but you've been a fucking treat.

>>17514373
I was at an AD today and some tourist walked in off the street and bought a new Explorer. That would have been pretty much unthinkable a year ago. Seems to me that Rolex is really softening unless we’re talking Daytona/Pepsi/off catalog pieces.

>>17514383
>lolcow
How long have you been on 4chan bro
>I don't care about watches one way or another
>still lurks the watch general
You're welcome, little buddy.

>>17514384
The waitlists are basically over except for the GMT and Daytona. Anything else they either have in stock or can get you in a week.

>>17514378
Good choice

>>17514388
This is really the best place on /fa/ to see people get unreasonably defensive. You gotta admit that.

Look at the current main character of this thread. He's just lashing out at everyone.

>>17514372
But why? I'd notice. Don't you appreciate things your parents give you? Besides, I had one already

>>17514391
You're very poorly socialized if you think "lashing out" means politely replying to people who post about you.

>>17514345
How much did your PPL set you back? Are you becoming a commercial pilot or just doing it for fun?

>>17514345
Congratulations! Steer clear of Epstein Island. :^)

>>17514394
I dunno, man, he seems extremely mad. No one who replies that quickly is in a calm state of mind.

He really should have known better. This is not a thread where you get the "wear it in good health" replies like you do on reddit or some shit.

>>17514389

The grey market would beg to differ. Everything is still trading well above retail. If they were easy to get, they’d sell for MSRP or less

>>17514402
>This is not a thread where you get the "wear it in good health" replies like you do on reddit or some shit.
Oh, you mean
>check out my second-hand Rolex
doesn't get me instant respect here?

>>17514380
Based but sad. There needs to be more brands that make actually good quartz watches that isn't grand seiko

>>17514402
Anon, I'm clearly in a much calmer state of mind than you if you can't even tell that you're talking to the guy that you think you're talking about.
It's a slow-moving thread. I just finished up work. I'm amused by how much seethe my collection caused, e.g. >>17514406
When will you post your VC, anon?

>>17514404
>The grey market would beg to differ. Everything is still trading well above retail. If they were easy to get, they’d sell for MSRP or less
Lots of guys with crypto money who are afraid to leave their house and go to an AD.
(Or they live in some flyover wasteland that has no AD.)

>>17514376
Is someone paying you to cry about GS's incredible watches, or are you just autism screeching?

>>17514404
They’re hanging on for dear life. Big retailers like Bob’s, Joma, Watchbox, DavidSW etc will keep prices up for as long as they possibly can but go on the Moda Facebook group or even Reddit and you’ll find OPs, DJs, Air Kings and Explorers selling for MSRP + tax.

>>17514409
See? You clearly think I'm someone else. But I'm feeling charitable and I'll show you my beater JLC, and you can act like you're dunking on someone. Sock it to me. :^)

You need to relax.

I want a Tag HueHue carrera I'm sorry guys but they're so shiny

>>17514415
I was questioning >>17514406, which is why I asked after tagging him.

>>17514415
It's a very nice watch. I have no reason to dunk on it or "sock it to you." You should post it with a timestamp, though.

I assure you I'm very calm and you're going beyond the pale to try to interpret my feelings.

>>17514345
I really like Santos de in blue, but opted for a dj41 126334 in blue myself recently. Not sure why I like blue dials so much. Nice pickup anyway.

>>17514418
>You should post it with a timestamp, though.
The time and date on the watch isn't enough for you?

>>17514422
No, write "i am doctor fagula" on a toilet paper.

>>17514426
That would be dishonest. I don't own a Gay Sexko.

>>17514422
Not necessarily, but I'll take your word for it. Which model is that?
I have to admit, I don't like the numbers as markers - I think those should generally be anything other than Arabic/Roman numerical symbols.

>>17514428
you own a swiss watch. no one takes it up the ass like you

>>17514417
Based. Just haggle for a discount or you're getting scammed

>>17514429
It's an older Master Control Home Time. It was my gift to myself when I graduated university. I use it as my travel watch.

>>17514431
>butthurt weebo response

Do you have a picture of your collection?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=928qwcwKpLk

What do you think?

>>17514415
>no second hand
How much did you pay for this?

>>17514438
I'm not interested in posting my entire collection. Here are my JLCs, though.

>>17514440
How much did you pay for your glasses?

>>17514444
nice quads
were these all bought secondhand? they look kinda dingy

>>17514444
This is what happens when you buy watches just because they have a brand name written on the dial lol.

>>17514440

>>17514448
Why are those 3 not good? I thought /wt/ respected JLC.

>>17514447
No, they were new. I don't baby my shit.

>>17514444
Come on dude post your whole collection don’t be a cocktease

>>17514451
>I thought /wt/ respected JLC.
/wt/ hates anything anyone actually owns.

But you got to respect JLC anon for taking the heat off GS anon. He was really taking a beating.

>>17514452
msrp on those 3?

>>17514456
>msrp on those 3?
At the time? The Hometime and the Reverso are like ten years old. I can't remember.

The Polaris is like 7,500 but any AD will let you walk out the door with it for 6,500.

>>17514454

disagree. jlc and gs anons only 2 to actually post sets. anyone hating on them is jealous

>>17514464
>At the time? The Hometime and the Reverso are like ten years old. I can't remember.
Nice, give me $10k so you can forget about it in 3 days then.

Are birth year watches a meme? Debating whether I should spend $8K+ on a 1993 Submariner, or buy a new Submariner instead.

>>17514471
Get a birth year watch for your firstborn son, then give it to him when he turns 18.

>tfw had to drop $10k (so far) on lawyer fees this year
could've bought a nice watch for that much ;___;

>>17514469
I'll give you something better: good advice.

Work hard, save your money, invest it wisely, and you'll never want for anything.

>>17514476
What do you do for a living, anon? Or how did you make your money?

>>17514444 (checked)
Not gonna lie, that's fucking impressive.

JLC > GS
No contest there.

Can the mods ban the low effort samefagging trolls? It's getting out of hand

>>17514478
>What do you do for a living, anon? Or how did you make your money?

I went into the Army after high school and spent six years defusing IEDs in Iraq. I used my enlistment bonus money (for doing such a suicidal job) to buy a laundromat. I used the profits from the first to buy the second. I now own four laundromats.
I also teach high school mathematics, but that doesn't pay enough to be worth mentioning. I'd do it for free though. Teaching is great.

>>17514471
>$8K+ on a 1993 Submariner
Have you ever handled a vintage Rolex bracelet? It's Seiko SKX-tier. Anybody paying that much for them should be kicked in the balls so hard they die

>>17514396
Haven’t done full spreadsheet but I’d say around 7k maybe from first flight to being certified. Not going commercial as I already have a career I’m happy with, just a bucket list sort of deal.

>>17514476
No I want the $10k, you obviously can throw away money and not even remember it, so what's the problem?

>>17514484
Ok then give me your teacher's salary.

>>17514492
Nah.
It's the same reason you don't give a homeless guy money.
You offer to buy him dinner. If he accepts, buy him anything on the menu at the fanciest restaurant. If he says no, he wants cash, he's just going to spend it on drugs.

>>17514493
Why don't you become an Army EOD tech instead? $80k enlistment bonus.

>>17514495
So why do you feel entitled to money that could be used better by pretty much anyone but you? Just American things?

>>17514497
Because I'm not a retarded American psycho and I don't want to invade foreign countries and kill women and children for oil and Israeli interests?

>>17514502
Why do you feel entitled to money someone else earned just to buy luxury items? It's not like you're begging for food or medicine.

>>17514505
So you'll give it if it goes straight to my living costs?

>>17514503
>I don't want to invade foreign countries and kill women and children for oil and Israeli interests?
You should try it sometime. It's a fucking hoot.
When else would you be allowed to kill someone and be rewarded for it?
Moreover, imagine getting yelled at for not killing enough people.

>>17514503
Unless you join a super elite SOF unit or the CIA you're not gonna be killing people overseas these days

>>17514508
>So you'll give it if it goes straight to my living costs?
I'd have to make sure you didn't waste money on frivolous luxuries and you truly had zero ability to find a job, but if you needed it that bad, yes I'd give it to you.

>>17514514
Ok, so you promise to give me $500/month for the rest of my life? How shall we do this, Paypal or?

If you just bought me an apartment (very cheap in my country, $200k or so), I could do with that as a one-time payment, don't have to do the monthly thing then.

>>17514515
Paypal fees are a bitch. We can use a wire transfer if that's OK. It's quicker too.

Can you provide proof that you can't get any job at all, though? I don't just want to give money to someone who can already live comfortably on his own. There are charities in my own community I already donate to.

>>17514484
Pretty based. Thanks for sharing your story, anon. God bless and thank you for your service.

>>17514492
>>17514502
>>17514508
>>17514515
>angrily begging - nay, DEMANDING - people to pay for your life on a Turkish coffee-making image board
it is so funny that these are the people that post about luxury watches

>>17514540
>>angrily begging - nay, DEMANDING - people to pay for your life on a Turkish coffee-making image board
Ok so consider this. In Germany you get a 40sqm apartment and $500-2000/month just for being lucky enough to be born there or weasel your way into their social security system. They don't give you an apartment smaller than 40sqm because that's not worthy of a human being.

If that's the baseline, why wouldn't everyone feel entitled to same, especially when there are people who have much more than that, just through sheer luck?

What motivation do I have to "just find a job bro" in my shit country where I would first have to suck cock for the job, then get $500 for spending 8-12h of my life, that Germans get just for existing, and then not even be able to rent anything more than a shitty room, and never be able to buy my own apartment because 40sqm costs $120k which I will never be able to save up?

Just think about it.

>>17514547
because life isn't fair and whoever sold you that thought did you a disservice
if you ain't born rich, then work to get rich
if you can't work to get rich, then live with what you've got and learn to die in peace

>>17514552
Hope the niggers rape your family in front of you while they're stealing your shit.

>>17514557
won't ever happen so save your energy. maybe stop posting on a watch forum and try to make something of yourself instead of trashing other people who actually can afford their lifestyles just because you hate yourself

>>17514560
>>won't ever happen
Yeah that's what Mussolini thought too lmfao.

>>17514560
>try to make something of yourself
By spending 12h for $500/month? How exactly do you think that will lead to anything? And why would I hate myself, I hate retards like you, I'm perfectly fine.

>>17514562
not the gotcha you think it is, champ. I'm not a fascist living in a country full of starved people who are facing the existential threat of a nuclear holocaust in a war they are losing badly. feels good to be American
>>17514564
>I'm perfectly fine
>literally begging for handouts on 4chan
okay, continue to LARP about all the watches you own while you can't even make a thousand bucks a month
pro tip: the word psychiatrists use for people like you is "ego-syntonic." you don't even know how fucked up you are and never will. it's simply coded into you to be this way

>>17514569
>I'm not a fascist living in a country full of starved people who are facing the existential threat of a nuclear holocaust in a war they are losing badly.

Hmm...

>>17514569

>>17514578
good luck :^)

>/wt/ is primarily made up of seething yuropoors who hate anyone that owns a luxury watch, especially if it's japanese made
the last two threads have really fleshed out the lore of this place

>>17514588
These are the most entertaining threads.

>>17514596
The asspain tonight was legendary. You just know they're continuing to smash refresh and fume as we laugh at them. Why are they so against getting a job and making an honest living?

>>17514603
>Why are they so against getting a job and making an honest living?
Ok get me a job that pays $2k/month (and don't bullshit that your uncle didn't get you a job) and we can start from there.

>>17514605
McDonald’s full time pays 2k a month bro

>>17514605
2k a month is a 40k salary taxes accounted for lol. There’s a million jobs you can get with that. The army will give you that and cover your housing/food

>>17514605
1) My uncle did in fact not get me a job (I'm in New York and he's in North Carolina).
2) I don't owe you anything, especially when you stick your hand out and demand it even though you're a beggar.
3) How do you plan on successfully getting any type of EB visa to work in America when you presumably have no skills or qualifications or work history?

>>17514588
Unless truly independent, "japanese made" is ungodly trash, tho.

>>17514615
is anything Japanese completely inhouse except GS?

>>17514607
In your rich country, yeah.
>>17514608
See above retard.

>>17514611
>3) How do you plan on successfully getting any type of EB visa to work in America when you presumably have no skills or qualifications or work history?
Why the fuck would I go to America, fuck you people, you're the worst scum imaginable. All you care about is money.

>>17514618
>All you care about is money.
That's pretty funny coming from the guy demanding Americans pay for his living expenses.
I wish I could take you out of your own head so you can see yourself in third-person and understand how miserable and lame you are.

>>17514622
Wish the nigs would take your head off and leave you to rot if you can't understand how someone who has to kill themselves because they can't finance any kind of a life, and someone who has more than enough to live like a king caring about money are two entirely different things.

No wonder you retards are so fucking fat, when you get a taste of something you just can't stop.

>>17514624
>I DEMAND YOU GIVE ME WHAT YOU WORKED FOR WHILE I PUT IN NO EFFORT OR ELSE I'M GONNA WISH BLACK PEOPLE KILL YOU
I can't stop laughing

>>17514627
Yeah you worked really hard to be born in a rich country lmfao.

>>17514617
What country do you live in and I’ll explain to you why you as a lazy retard are your worst enemy rather than some poor fate out of your control

>>17514629
Actually, I'm an immigrant.

To be honest, you seem like a boy of decent intelligence - or at least you're not intellectually handicapped. If you actually tried, you could probably do alright for yourself, but you're a coward and a weakling who'd rather leech off his family his entire life while moaning about how cruel fate is.

>>17514633
I have no family retard, you're assuming everyone is as lucky and psychopathic as you again.

>>17514634
So how are you living, considering you refuse to work and spend your day (and late nights) hating black people and watches?

>>17514635
Why would I hate black people? I wish for them to rise up against you retards and steal their shit back, how is that hate?

What kind of discount should I expect to haggle for when buying a Tag HueHue Carrera?

>>17514638
You ducked the question. Could it be that you're already living off the government but you want even more without putting in any effort?

Many Black immigrants and Black-Americans do very well in this country. It's not perfect and there is a lot to be improved, but that's for us to figure out.

>>17514616
>>17514616
Not entirely.
Hajime Asaoka = in-house and gigabased.
Kurono Tokyo = still nice, but made with refinished ebauches
so, since Hajime Asaoka is actually the head behind Kurono Tokyo, you can see there are clearly distinctive levels in the japanese independet trend, and only a few are truly in-house.

>>17514643
>Hajime Asaoka
Thanks for the nipponpill. Will look into him.

>>17514640
They will laugh at you freely.

>>17514646
I don't think sales associates making $15 an hour+ commission are laughing at people who could give them a $700 commission bonus right then and there, anon. If you pay sticker price for anything other than a Rolex you're silly

>>17514645
Enjoy. Prepare your anus, tho. His watches are ass-detroying expensive.

>>17514646

>>17514642
>Could it be that you're already living off the government but you want even more without putting in any effort?
Feel free to look up the non-existent gibs in any non-western european country retard.

>>17514649
I didn't imply they will laugh at your face, but at your back.

>>17514654
Not everyone is a bitter ruskie third worlder like you anon. TWO MORE WEEKS and you'll capture Ukraine right hahaha

>>17514649
Why wouldn't they? You look like a fag and your shit's all retarded and you walk into a rich people's store trying to scam them out of money how would they not laugh at you, what did you expect, a good ass licking? If you don't have the money don't shop in stores for people who do.

>>17514652
>doesn't work
>has no family
>freely admits he's poor
>intensely bitter about life
What are we missing here, anon. Do you live under a bridge and steal your internet connection from a student hostel?

>>17514657
Why are retarded Americans so obsessed with Ukraine?

>>17514658
I'm sure the Seiko Tag Oris AD is a rich people's club anon LOL.

>>17514659
You're missing meager savings from back when I had a better life before everyone got fucking cancer one by one which caused them to sell everything for treatment which left me fucked after they died anyway.

It's been over 50 posts since someone actually posted a watch this thread is hilariously pathetic LMAO. So many poor third world ESLS trying to drag people in the trench with them

>>17514665
I'm sorry to hear about that, anon, truly. How old are you? You have to come up with a plan to keep yourself alive. Unironically and respectfully, maybe step away from /wt/ for a while and focus on getting a decent job that keeps the lights on and food on the table.

>>17514659
He is the long lost "sister" of actually transexual og frenchtard whith his beaten old lolex.

>>17514670
No you're not, you're a piece of shit who jerks off to people having it worse than him.

And I really don't, life is shit, it's always been shit even when it was "better", and I'm never going to recover on my own. No one wants to help with anything because you're all shit. I have enough until the end of the year and that's that.

>>17514677
Anon, all you've done is tell me you hope my family gets murdered and that I'm a psychopathic retard. Your situation sucks but it's hard to feel a ton of empathy towards you when you demand handouts and insult people. Take a step back, breathe, and be more human. It will benefit you.

Anyway, this is super off-topic so I wish you the best and hope things work out. Drop your Kofi or something and I'll donate.

Best idea for you is to spend less time on 4chan which is the unwashed and untrimmed asshole of the internet, and focus on getting a job and supporting yourself. But that's only if you have the will to survive. Life doesn't care about you feeling sorry for yourself and hating the world.

>>17514680
>and focus on getting a job and supporting yourself.
I don't know anyone, how would I get a job? And how would you support yourself on $500/month max? I need new teeth dude, I can't pay for new teeth from that. I need a lot of other medical shit, I don't have anything to look forward to even in the best case scenario where I somehow befriend someone from the ruling party and get some minimum wage janitor job or some shit.

You fuckers really don't understand anything. Of course you have the "will to survive" in a country where you literally can't fail if you have 80+ IQ.

damn. these are some real /wt/ hours.

and to think we got all this from some dude posting his secondhand rolex

I just think it's weird and gauche to use the birth of your first son as a prop in your watch collecting, if you are a multimillionaire then just buy the watch because you can lmao.

Like, is the birth of your son not bringing you enough joy already? Do you really need to enhance the experience with a $30k watch? Some people, I swear..
>"Father, do you remember the day I was born?"

Tissot has only been making the PRX for a year or two.
That particular model of Overseas has been in production since 2016.

stop being a complete fucking retard

>>17514588
I mean to be fair, Americans do use these threads to circlejerk about their country, yeah it's pretty great for you guys that Corporate America has retardedly highly paid jobs where you can be a multi-millionaire by doing literally nothing of any value to anyone... but you do still need to live in the US.

I'm just not sure that's worth it.

I'd take the Master Calendar in gold.

No, the market is not necessarily saturated, depending on the city you live in. New York City? Probably. Smaller cities of around 100k people? Probably not.

G'day /wt/, what are you anons all wearing toay? Wearing my 1970's Seastar and having coffee in town before going for some food and drinks here. Footie is on today, so it's fucking heaving everywhere.

>>17515171
Still wearing my Master Hometime. Having breakfast and watching the snowstorm bury my yard.

>>17515171
Enjoying the first day of sun in a while and a much lighter strap. Gotta love 60s dive watches.

>this quartz Glycine is on sale for little over 300
should I?

>>17515217
looks like yet another uninspired, dull submariner copy to me. I personally wouldn't buy it. I'd rather have the 60$ invicta that copies the sub even more brazenly

>>17515217
What are they even charging $300 for? Zero design thought went into it. No expensive materials anywhere. It looks like its quartz. Never heard of Glycine, sounds like an industrial chemical.

Sounds like you didn't read the "should i buy this microbrand watch?" in OP.

>>17514357
I like the huehue

What are /wt/'s thoughts on wearing an automatic while on a motorcycle? My Orient back in the day said not to wear it for high shaking high shock activities such as dirtbikes, hammering, and I think another little drawing they had in the manual. Are they actually fragile to where vibration can kill them?

>>17515332
I think it may age the movement prematurely, but my dad has been wearing his Seiko 5 Day date automatic for the last 20 years and he rides a bike almost daily, but the watch functions perfectly and has never had any work done on it yet.

>>17515171
mooching around the house today, not doing anything important 'cos i'm knackered, lurking some /wt/ i missed during the week and replying to this >>17515199 with his new perlon strap

>>17515187
this is lovely btw, i'd never paid attention to the details on a m/hometime before this thread and i must say i'm impressed

>>17514357
Love that Autavia

>>17515171
wtf, >>17514890 said they were only making the prx for a year and this looks exactly like one

>>17514896
You clearly know nothing about America except for what you've seen on TV or anecdotes you've read from losers on the internet. But that's okay, we don't want you here.

>>17515348
The new PRX was meant to be an homage to the old SeaStar. The 35mm quartz PRX is very, very close to what the original 70s version was.

>>17515335
Who did you steal that watch from? I refuse to believe people who say 'cos or knackered make enough money to afford anything.

Any AI made watches yet? I'd love to see the Swissfags seethe as they're being replaced.

>>17515371
it was only 500 great british crisps, wee microbrand out of edinburgh that started up during the lockdown; great as a daily running a myota 9039

>watches with numerals

>>17514321
Is it realistic to wear a Cartier Tank on a rubber plantation? I feel like that thing would be destroyed on the first day if it were irl.

>>17515378
mogs on the swiss

>>17515410
Mechanical watches are tougher than you think, especially simple time only hand-winding movements. Just be careful around water.

>>17515410
No.
>>17515419
Forget the movement, cartier tank is going to get scratched to shit asap

>>17515495
That entire film (Red Dust) I was just waiting for him to smash it against something or stick it in rubber. There was a scene where he was messaging the rubber and he stuck his hand right in it and it was only inches from getting the watch wet.

there are no $150 genuine seikos right

Buying the Tag huehue Carrera tomorrow

>>17515569
Seiko "Essentials" usually fall under that price category

Looking for a dress watch under $600, any reason not to get a the Irish Coffee cocktail time from Seiko?

>>17515609
This variant was my first watch ever and I love it, bought it after getting my first job, but if you want actual reasons
>crystal scratches easily
>movement kinda meh
But if you're only going to wear it with a suit once every so often or to dinner it's a good watch in my opinion.

>>17515611
The crystal was honestly my biggest worry, while the movement is kind of meh, I don’t mind it. But it’s not really a daily driver so the wear shouldn’t be too bad.

>>17515616
I got one scratch on mine after 4 years and i wore it as my daily doing stupid shit like skateboarding and going to with the zoo with it, its fine

>>17515378
someone posted some a few threads ago and they come out looking like generic rolex or patek watches but with the usual amorphic features you see in everything A.I. produces

I love this cheesy thing

>>17515720
do you wear it with the tag still attached?

>>17515720
looks fun, even better than the tapestry dial imo

>>17515720
It has its charm.

>>17515739
no i got rid of that after taking the picture
>>17515742
There's also a 34mm quartz version still in production

>>17515739
you know that’s an actual thing now right? it’s /fa/ to keep the tags on some accessories.

>>17515750
kids out here wearing their jordans with stockx tags on them oh no no no no no

>>17515323
Which one? There's two of them
>>17515342
Thanks brother

some time back I was given (most of) a caravelle pocketwatch in a bag as I was "the only person who might be able to but also actually want to fix it" or something like that, idk it's been a while.
anyway I want to try to use absolutely as many of the parts provided as possible, just kind of for the novelty really; is there anything I can really do other than finding another broken one for sale as parts or w/e, like, are/were there like "standard" pocketwatch movements (I mean kinda like how the nh35 is for autos) where I could like look for a different one that might be cheaper and Frankenstein then together?
it's not like this thing would be especially valuable (~$100) but A: I do not yet have a pocketwatch B: it's legitimately old and apparently swiss? C: it was given to me by a good friend D: it would be fun lol

>>17515720
Impressive
Very Nice

Let's see Paul Owen's Seiko.

>>17515811
I don’t this is that old bro, maybe like 80s. Caravelle is a discount brand under Bulova.

>>17515822
it's older than I am so that's good enough for me haha
like I said this is mostly for fun

>>17515822
like he also gave me a bootleg Rolex day/date oyster (like proper bootleg no relax or folex or even an homage, poor guy thought it was real hahaha) at the same time but that was as simple as just needing a generic Seiko quartz movement I found on AliExpress for less than $10, I'm not expecting anything significant here

>>17515720

>>17515720
Old Seiko 5 logo had so much SOVL

>>17515840
How is it different?

>>17515171
I've got this bad boy on today, actually like the wear to the crystal, it's grown on me

>>17515844
entirely different now

>>17515845
Based and sat the opposite side of the table to me pilled.
>>17515720
Holy fuck LOL. Where did you find a nos example of one of these?
>>17515365
>>17515348
I own both and can confirm they are very similar. I prefer my seastar(s) but the prx is a very nice watch too. I love both.
>>17515335
This is mad nice, what is it? I'm hammered, so I apologise if I have missed something itt.
>>17515199
Wish we had sun here anon, just grey overcast skies and fucking rain. I miss australia. Great watch btw, I have a few vintage Soviet shitters and I love them
>>17515187
This is beautiful, really nice watch brother.

My wife found a quartz version of the watch at a jewelry store and we bought it. Then I remembered that it's the same model of the watch they used in American Psycho just not automatic/different size and did some digging and found a guy selling a brand new one using watchrecon, cost me $400
pic unrelated, probably gonna sell this orange one though

Not a single other Glycine watch ever posted. GMTs are fucking retarded
They're selling generic who cares watches
yeah they're a microbrand.

>>17515917
she probably has tiny hairs on the outer rim of her rectum like most people if that helps. she seems like a borderline femcel so it’s unlikely she has ever waxed or bleached her anus.

>Not a single other Glycine watch ever posted. GMTs are fucking retarded

i don't like 24 hour gmt hands

>>17515967
>>17515941
Glycine has legitimate watchmaking history and several key innovations, one was even worn on the moon. They nearly went bankrupt in the 80s though like most watchmakers who got btfo by cheap seiko quartz. As of 2016 they’ve switched hands again to Invicta group and largely sell sub $500 garbage, long since separately from their history of innovation

>>17515984
As long as they still keep making the 36mm Airman Purist, they're good.

>>17515967
i respect that you didn't give him a (you)

>>17515984
oh so they're a subsidiary of a subsidiary of an owned brand of a conglomeration? even more of a microbrand then because they're using spare parts to make generic garbage at a high profit margin. Neat, explains why nobody has ever heard of it and it'll dwindle into a do-not-buy brand like black & decker.

>>17515991
>36mm Airman Purist

This is part of my ideal semi-cheap collection.
- 36mm Airman Purist, white dial, as a daily/travel watch
- Squale 50 ATMOS 1521-026/A as a weekend/sports watch
- Cartier Santos-Dumont as a dress watch

>>17516000
You could probably replace that Cartier with a second-hand Piaget or some other high end dress watch.

But yeah, that would be a pretty cool three-piece set.

>>17515274
>>17515281
yeah I'm not wanting anything that requires a battery.

>>17516006
>Cartier with a second-hand Piaget or some other high end dress watch.
Santos Dumont is cooler to be honest

To the guy that bought one of these on a recent thread, does it appear good value.

did you guys know there’s a whole industry and community of watch salesmen who cater exclusively to the sub-$1000 watch price range?

like they have meetups, conferences and travel all around the country to promote very niche microbrands. pic related, i went to one of these and there were shitters as far as the eye could see. i didn’t see anyone with omegas, rolexes, etc.

one of these guys specializes in making watches that have images of famous U.S. Navy war ships in the back of his watches.

so I found this indian shop on Ebay selling things for cheap but I'm not sure if its fakes or just gray marketing.

>>17516067
they're fakes, anon

>>17516067

Davosa-shitty rolex ripoffs with Chinese quality, garbage
Formex-actually pretty good watches for around 1k, good build quality. Design language looks pretty good but definitely very Gerald genta nautilus type of shit which is a bit played out desu
Lorier-actually owned one before, quality felt like shit and they use acrylic crystal.
They look pretty good though, Reddit favorite
Nodus-rather boring watches, ok for around ~500 but nothing to write home about
Rze - same as nodus but they use titanium as a gimmick
Traska-Reddit favorite known for their explorer rip off
Vario-kinda boring ~$500 shitters
Visitor watches-make a quirky looking watch, kinda ugly and uninspiring

Those are the ones I know, formed is the only one I think is maybe worth buying

it started with an angsty retard in the last thread who is 100% incredibly poor but also 100% insanely angry at the idea that anyone else can own expensive watches.

>>17516247
Shit i didn't notice it was 34mm.

anon try get 36 at the very least. My wrist is 6 and a quarter inches and this is me with the submariner >>17516184 granted dive watches look ok when they are bigger but trust me 34mm will look dainty.

>>17516254
the submariner looks like its about to fall off your wrist anon

>>17516254
34mm would look fine on you, the lugs are coming off your wrist

>>17516255
In person it looks fine. I'm pretty sensitive to watches looking too big and it doesn't however in that pic it kind-of does

>>17516254
I tried it on in store, the 34mm air kang oyster wears larger than other 34mm watches due to big bezel/lug to lug

>>17516260
Good for you man. I have a huge wrist and like 36mm watches best.

>>17516260
Fair enough then go for it anon

>>17516260
34mm Rolexes also wear large because the Oyster case really isn't round, it's a cushion case, so it's almost like a square watch with a round face.

>>17516270
noticed that while trying on a smaller monaco as well

>>17516260
>>17516254
When looking too down it makes the watch look bigger, for a realistic idea of how it looks on the wrist put your hand at your side and look at it in a mirror
