This fucking retard >>17516429 made a thread with some shitty meme picture in the OP.
The previous thread also had some gay picture in the OP and it was fucking terrible.

IF YOU MAKE A WATCH THREAD, PUT A FUCKING PICTURE OF A WATCH IN THE OP YOU DUMB NIGGER.

Should I spend 10k on this and be done with watches forever?
I don't give a shit about muh horology. I just want a good looking watch that will last forever.

>>17517251
yes

>>17517242
Kinda agree. Have a mido

>>17517251
This is a slippery slope - because green dials are so unique, I can see you thinking
>"Let me get a black dial watch"
>"How about a blue dial"
>"White would really round up a collection"
>"Feeling crazy - let's go for a red dial this time"

>>17517251
Don't buy colored dials unless you have plenty other dials.

I have a 2022 Seamaster 300m that I like but want to sell as I am gearing up to buy an expensive home.
Where do people sell (lightly) used watches online? Would an Omega retailer give me an offer?

>>17517395
Reddit watchexchange, watchuseek

>are the best 3 watches ever created in your path

>>17517395
Thanks for the pic anon. Im gonna compare it to my fake when it arrives and see if the differences are actually noticable.

>>17517251
Yup.

Does anyone know of a watch that looks like this that is water proof and is between $200-$400?

>>17517608
sorry pic related

>>17517251
It’s hard to be done. Once you spend 8k on a watch you justify it and until it seems like no big deal in your head. Then you think, maybe I just need a gold watch or a dress watch and then you’re spending 20k on another watch you don’t need. Your best bet is buying no watches at all.

>>17517395
Moda 10k and Under Facebook group or Watchexchange on Reddit. You will get about 3500 for it, maybe a bit less.

>>17517621
Yah it’s never enough. Although honestly I got to a point where I realize that and sold my excess watches down to two. I also don’t believe in watches an investment but I like many others blew a lot of money I can’t get back.

>>17517621
>>17517632
I was the same way. I had to force myself to never have more than two watches at a time: one sports watch and one dress watch. Otherwise you justify for yourself ever-increasing purchases. (If you can buy a $10k, $13k is just a little more...but now your sports watch overshadows your dress watch, time to get a new one of those...)

Where's the Vacheron Constantine overseas chronograph?

>>17517238
it's not fair that the nautilus is the best looking sport watch of all time because it's unattainable for 99% of people on earth. And if you get a rep or homage then you're instantly coping and a faggot
the best watch design of all time is taken and you don't get one

>Where's the Vacheron Constantine overseas chronograph?
In the dumpster where it belongs.

>>17517251
literally my plan. starting my first "real" job this summer after i graduate and I'll be making more money then ever in my life. my plan is that after a year at that job i'll have enough savings built up that 10k on a watch i will own and wear forever won't be a big deal
trying to decide between a rolex datejust, iwc portuguesier or omega speedmaster

>>17517395
how much you selling it for? i'm looking at the same watch

>>17517816
I dunno - not sure what is fair but am open to offers. It's in great condition but there are the normal dings/scratches on the bracelet as I wore it fairly regularly for the last ~9 months.
What kind of prices are you seeing for lightly used, recent examples?

>>17517709
It’s exactly like that. Which are your main two right now?

I have this for dressier occasions although it’s not what I would call a dress watch and an omega planet ocean Sedna for the sports watch which I will also share.

>>17517840
Second one, first watch over 150 dollars I ever purchased.

I looked at blancpain, Lange, iwc, and plenty of other watches in store and online but I have more of a sense of admiration than to actually feel like buying anything these days.

>>17517840
>Which are your main two right now?
First generation Planet Ocean for sports and a Piaget Altiplano for dress.

>>17517854
Cool watches man. Thanks for sharing.

>>17517841
>I looked at blancpain, Lange, iwc, and plenty of other watches in store and online but I have more of a sense of admiration than to actually feel like buying anything these days.
I'm >>17517854

I'm the same way. I WANT plenty of other watches, but the question I force myself to ask is "yeah, but do I want them enough to get rid of the current ones?"

With the PO, definitely not, at least not right now. The first gen SMPO is a classic. It will be a while I think before I want to move on from it.
The Piaget, on the other hand...I got it when I was into ultra-thin watches. Now, I'm more into complications. I've been looking at a lot of JLCs lately.

Hell, maybe something completely off-the-wall will catch my eye, like a Hublot or something.

>>17517857
Thanks. Yours are pretty sweet as well.

>>17517861
Each subsequent watch is less exciting than the next unless it’s more expensive in my experience but then whatever is more expensive than what I have is just larping as someone wealthier than I am and way more than I feel like spending at this point desu.

I remember being totally unbiased (from watch boards) and getting the Planet Ocean Sedna straight from the AD. It felt really special. I got the Skydweller on a trip in Europe because I loved the size and complications. I remember along the way of buying these watches hearing about how bad Tag, Breitling, Hublot, etc are and that no one should buy them. I don’t care or agree anymore. The Monaco is cool by Tag. The super ocean is very nice for the price point. Hublot can make a watch which is interesting to me here and there as well. The whole point of having a hobby is to like what you’re buying or spending time with.

>>17517875
>Each subsequent watch is less exciting than the next unless it’s more expensive in my experience but then whatever is more expensive than what I have is just larping as someone wealthier than I am and way more than I feel like spending at this point desu.

I agree to an extent. Once I limited myself to only two watches, the hobby became less about shopping and more about research. The research is the exciting part now, not ownership.

e.g. I was really into independents (Daniel Roth, Roger Dubuis, etc) for a while and was strongly considering getting one of them as a dress watch. While I ultimately decided against buying one, I cherish the information I was able to gather and the people I met along the way in my research.

At the same time, I've come to view ownership of any one watch as a temporary thing. I own it and love it until I don't love it anymore, then I get rid of it. If I can't get rid of it, I'm obviously not done with it yet. No more needlessly hoarding six-figures' worth of watches I never wear just because I loved them at one point.

post watches you want but could never pull off

This is the actual definitive cope if you must image

I saw you for the first time, outside the jewellery shop. Your face was white like a perfect porcelain doll. Your hands smooth as if made from mirror-polished white gold.

As I went into the shop, I could feel my heart racing. I watched you from a distance nervous to approach you. I could only imagine how you would feel like, the sound of your heartbeat, the perfect mechanism.

I went up to you, and as I held you in my hand, felt your skin, your meticulously crafted leather garment, I could not contain myself.

I turned you over so that I could at last have a look at your behind. And god almighty what an artwork you are. God knows how long I have yearned for this moment. To finally feel your cold, high polished skin against mine, your magnificent bottom exposed for me to admire.

As I place you on my wrist, I put you to my ear, and the sweet music of gears, levers and springs come to life.

Tick, tock.

>>17517831
I will pay $2800 for it. I'm white and don't you wanna make sure it will go to a good home? Don't you wanna sell it to a fellow 4chan fren? huh anon don't you? please do, contact me on hazelblotch1@gmail.com please.

>>17518081
Thanks fren, I appreciate it.
>>17517881
That’s why I think it’s reasonable to care about resell of watches you want to own. If you are losing money each time you get bored of a watch you will be out of money eventually after trading around.

You know your post reminds me of those guys who have an entire case of watches worth hundreds of thousands or more and it makes me wonder if the watches even feel special at that point.

Either way I have just been enjoying what I have and it has been that way for about a year or so. It’s entirely possible I might never buy another luxury watch for myself or if I do I might be in 10 years or more. My girlfriend wants a watch when I propose instead of a ring so that’s likely going to be last purchase for a while.

>>17518089
>You know your post reminds me of those guys who have an entire case of watches worth hundreds of thousands or more and it makes me wonder if the watches even feel special at that point.

At that point, their hobby is strictly posting pictures of their collections on social media to flex. Apart from convincing yourself that jealous people are seething, there's no more fun.

I'm looking to replace my square multiband 6 g-shock and Seiko 5 with one analogue watch with solar and atomic time
any suggestions?

WOW This is some massive cope.

>>17518119
To be fair, they deserve it. The thief will probably spend the money better, even blowing all on the biggest meth binge is more of a memorable experience than having a box full of watches you don't wear.

I mean for those people, they're not even collecting the watches they want anymore, they're just mindlessly checking off the list of "JFC how iconic! Everyone into watches MUST own one!" watches by this point.

how can i tell if the mark on my dial is a scratch or a crack?

How will Omegays cope this time? lmao

>>17518215
>just sick of seeing the same 4 watches everywhere online.
This. They're the watches that get the most engagement, so they get pushed by the algorithm. Then people go out and buy those four watches because otherwise they get no engagement.

The shitty part is that even if you decide to go out and buy something that's not one of the 4 watches, don't try and post a pic online because all you'll get is
>You should have bought [popular watch] dumbass.
followed by
>You people all have the same watches, you're boring.

I respect the JLC anon from a couple threads ago because he showed up with shit that doesn't get posted here.

>>17518215
>>17518221
I actually don't see much of the Santos or Snowflake, I see Rolexes more than these two based on my experiences

>>17518226
Go onto watchfinder and you'll see a lot of the Grand Seiko at least

>btfo /fa/

I've known the meme that in order to get a Submariner you need to buy a bunch of other Rolexes like the OP to get moved up the waiting list, implying OPs are easily attainable at ADs, but now I'm hearing that it's also the case now that OPs have waiting lists and you have to buy them at a markup on the grey market.

What's actually true then? Is the OP actually a Rolex you can buy without ripping yourself off going grey or wanking of your AD? Or does the model just not matter anymore, if it says "Rolex" then scalping chancers are hoovering them up?

>>17518300
OPs are a little tough in black, silver and blue but probably only a month or two. Grey market on those is maybe a grand over retail although you kind find deals around 6750ish (retail is 6100). The green is tougher, the pink is even tougher and the turquoise is basically unobtainium. Actually the Explorer seems a little easier to get from an AD these days than the OP oddly enough.

If you want a sub wait for a sub or pay the gray price which isn’t that bad. The AD situation is much much better than it was last year. I personally would not fuck about buying other watches if you don’t actually want them. You will end up losing money selling them to a grey dealer or getting lowballed since no one is going to want to buy OPs and Datejusts from some random guy (you) unless they can get them cheaply

>>17518306
Oh nah I wanted to get the silver OP but was worried they've got the same retardation surrounding them as with more desirable models, if it's just a couple months wait then that's fine

>>17518300
>What's actually true then?
It depends on many things like
>your area
>your AD
>(You)
For example, if you live in London, NYC or Paris and walk into the biggest AD on the most touristic street dressed like a clown, you'll never be able to buy a Submariner or even an OP at retail.

You CAN buy a Submariner even if you have 0 purchase history. Just go to a smaller AD, talk a bit with the sale assistant and show up a couple of times to show your interest.
Say things like "I have the money, just call me and I'll buy it on the spot". You have no idea the number of niggers who put their name on a waiting list and never show up when they get the call because they're broke.

Yes it sucks to do all that but you'll get your Submariner within 3 months.

>>17518343
Tbh it's actually the OP I want, I just really like how the "silver" model looks like it has a faint champagne dial, very subtle and tasteful imo

>>17517573

Just decided, this isn't making me happy, I'll stick to my PRX and Vostok for now. Perhaps a luxury watch will be the retarded purchase I make during my midlife crisis, later guys I'm off to unsubscribe from a load of YouTube channels

>>17518797
agreed. I'm staying away

>>17518734
It's nice. The quality/workmanship is indisputable. The size...is kind of a tweener. At 39mm across and 11mm thick it's a little oversized for a full-on dress watch but as a suit and tie watch its size is no problem. German watches seem to run large anyway. Depending on how casual your life is, you could actually wear it as a really sweet daily watch.

It's been around for a couple of years, so it's not like any of this is surprising.

The only thing that really bugs me about the dial is the "Doppelfederhaus" text on the dial. I don't like extraneous text on dials, particularly not on dress watch dials. Knowing that the movement has two barrels does not add anything meaningful to telling the time.

>>17518437
Thanks man, I couldn’t believe how much i liked it when I found it in a gray market dealer in Europe. Bought it on the spot.

>>17518192

Damn really? It’s a really unique watch with a neat history as well.

Nice, I like the up down myself

>>17518856
>Icons list

It started out as the list of watches that "OMG every serious watch collector NEEDS to own."
The first guy who said Sneedmaster, DJ and Tank is right in that regard. The Monaco and Lange 1 are icons of their respective brands, but I don't think there's any sentiment that you must own one to be a """serious""" collector.

I'd add the Black Bay 58 to that list. That's become a pretty popular consensus pick for divers.

Also,

cons
you have to adjust it every february

>>17517923
This picture would be great it was funny and insightful. It is neither.

>>17518885
Where? Nobody even buys dress watches these days, especially one with a face like Cartier's.

>>17518894
Pros: if you’re a NEET you might forget which day of the week it is maybe, I guess
Cons: it makes the watch look cheap and ugly unless you spend 20k on a Rolex or even more on some complicated haute horology shit.

>>17518880
Maybe not on this site because of its gay connotations, but in the real world, the Tank is extremely popular. ADs can barely keep the steel Tank Must in stock.

>>17518897
>>17518903
I don't mind adjusting but it does tend to look ugly unless it's the three letter variety like on seikos and citizens

Is this actually a thing

>>17518910
I don't get gay connotations from it but I do get continental connotations from every Cartier

I don't know how true this is, I see a lot of people with them on these days

IRL, it's nonsense. On 4chins, it's immutable truth.

Alright lads, SOTC time. My cozy 4-watch TF collection. I've been working on assembling it for the past couple of months. The theme of this collection is homage tool watches. All have at least 100m of water resistance (with screw-down crowns) and magnetic resistance to 20,000 A/m (250 gauss).

- Precista Mission Timer: Use it daily at work. ETA quartz movement, always ready to pick up and go. The black DLC coating is insanely durable, I swear it still looks brand new. The best feature is the center minutes chronograph hand. Extremely legible. Use it all the time. Design based on Sinn NaBo 17 cockpit clock.
- Baby Dreadnought: 300m WR. It's my casual, running errands everyday watch. Absolutely love the dial and handset. This watch is not really an homage, but it sort of looks like a baby Ploprof and that's really damn cool.
- Smiths Everest Expedition: My outdoors activities field watch. I really dig the historical significance of the original Smiths A454 this watch is based on.
- Smiths Trans-global: Has the specs of a tool watch, but fulfills the role of dress watch in the collection. The UG Polerouter is such an amazingly cool and unique design. As Caseback Tim once said, the best vintage watch is a brand new vintage watch.

Mido is for grown up no nonsense men who want a decent "big boy" watch, dont want to underpay and get caught wearing cookie cutter tissot or toy like hamiltons, but are still too cheap or just dont want to dish another grand and buy say longines or something along those lines.

I bought a g-shock gwm-5610 all-black negative display for my b-day back in august 2021, it's the only watch I own besides a seiko diver and I wear it monday-friday, I chose this one because I didn't like how colorful the normal positive display 5610 is.
then a few months ago I found out about the gw-5000u and it seems like the perfect watch for me.
have any of you guys tried both and do you think it's worth the upgrade?
I feel like it's almost the same watch but since I wear it almost daily (and I'm getting kind of tired of the negative display) it could be worth it.
but I also don't want to start buying similar watches, I like my two watch collection.

>>17518374
Tudor is a proper solid big guy watch, nothing truly wrong with image, philosophy, tech and design. Its allready scraping mid-high tier luxury prices and position, therefore tries to be adequate. But there is one eternal irredeemable stigma it has, even normies are kinda in on it. That being a supposed "discount rolex" in form, said image, and discount price. It even is praised for being "what rolex used to be, and kinda affordable etc". Inherently, this fact puts it on a map, and simultaneously forever makes it a number two, robs it of some originality and real impact. Basicaly, those who buy it, are doomed to think, mention and live with eternal "its like rolex but cheaper etc" notion. Nothing majorly wrong with that, but considering the 4k price on average, its such a boring, safe and kinda apologetic choice by nature, it attracts the appropriate crowd. Aka "enthusiasts" who almost can into a rolex but kinda still cant, and at the same time dont have the balls or knowledge to pull the trigger on something original in that weightclass.

>>17520068
You’re trolling hehe but honestly lots of people think “X brand bad”. For me the watch as it stands by itself, regardless of brand, is my ideal for forming opinions about watches.

I also can find beauty in most watches as well. However, while some dudes are rustled by tons of expensive watches being shown off, I draw the line at a bunch of cheap shitters in a dirty cheap box.

>>17520436

>>17520656
If that’s the watch, I went full circle with the submariner as far as liking it. Liked it when I was a kid, and thought it was unattainable unless you were insanely wealthy. Then I had enough money to buy at one point but felt like it was too cliche and everyone else had it so that made it bad. Now after autistically looking at watch forums for years, I think it’s a nice looking classic watch. It’s too high profile for me to want to wear it since I live in an American city and don’t want to get stabbed over it but it’s cool even though it’s basic.

>>17519520

the important duty should be roughly 20%, isn't that 300 euros maximum, depending on the model?

>>17521016

I checked with duties and taxes etc the total comes to 500 EUR. It's not terrible but considering that the watch itself goes for ~350 EUR it's quite annoying

I mean if that's what you're going for they can't tell the difference between a $500 Rolex and a $5000 Rolex either.

>>17521198
I know as watch nerd we can tell, but literally nobody else can. And if your concern is "oh god strangers in this room will know I didn't spend $5000 on a suit and fly Guisseppe from Italy to custom tailor it to my body, they're gonna think I'm a bakka ass bakka" then you actually have mental illness. Literally nobody but sociopaths cares how nice your suit is or how much a watch costs. Wear something you like not because of its price tag, but because of how it looks and how you feel in it.

>>17521145

>Wear something you like not because of its price tag, but because of how it looks and how you feel in it.
You think all poor people are stupid subhumans so they naturally "like" things made for poor people with shit designs and shit quality?

>>17521188
Most people can instinctively tell, yes. They might not have the vocabulary to describe it, same as how they won't know sommelier vocabulary to describe why the delas freres hermitage tastes better than yellow tail shiraz, but yeah, you would have to be pretty unobservant to not notice why a $5000 bespoke suit looks better than the fused garbage from mens wearhouse

>>17521206
Just because most C level execs are sociopaths doesn't mean everyone who knows about nice things is a C level exec

>>17521214
Did you stretch before jumping to that conclusion? No, I think poor people are poor for a multitude of reasons but there are some nearly destitute people wearing $600 basketball shoes wearing a $400 chain and other similar nonsense. They like it because it fits with their retarded "culture" and also "its expensive, so I look rich". Thats the same mentality of many people in these WATCH TRHEAD's; just watch some people showing off their hideous $2500 watches and when multiple people point out how ugly it is they complain about poorfags.

>>17521228
It's always about black people with your kind, why don't you just say "muh niggers" instead of beating around the bush, we both know what you're trying to say (and no, white people are just the same in that way you just give them more slack because their skin looks like yours)

>>17521191
Most of the current well-known Japanese brands have been around long enough that you can find vintage examples from them. Seiko, Citizen, Casio, etc.

>>17521233
I never said anything about the race in my post, you made that inference. Why are you so racist? I'm talking about financial illiteracy and general fashion scams and you went right to hating blacks. baka my head.

>>17521237
Hence why I said "beating around the bush", you think you can talk like that and be understood in the way you meant it, without anyone calling you out, well here I am calling you out, you may now go back to your "nu-uh, no u" like anyone is falling for it

FC classics index.

Do any of you know how much it would cost me to restore the PVD coating on a watch? I know it's no simple task to take everything apart and get it polished down to the bare metal and re-coated. I'm guessing it would be in the same ballpark as getting a gold plated watch re-plated?

>>17521233
He never once mentioned blacks. What is it about derogatory comments about $600 basketball shoes and $400 dollar chains that makes you think of negroes? Are you racist?

do you think youre being clever or funny when you talk about "citty dwellers" or "urbanites"? the self censorship is almost as embarassing as the racism.

>>17521261
Orient Bambino is nice if you don't mind their logo on the dial face. Junkers and Junghans just get really expensive quick. I like my Bambino because its simplistic dial, it works good, and has a domed crystal.

>>17521267
>Junkers and Junghans just get really expensive quick
What do you mean, in terms of repairs or what?
>simplistic dial, it works good, and has a domed crystal.
that applies to all of them though, except I heard the Junkers doesn't keep time too accurately

>>17521268
>What do you mean, in terms of repairs or what?
Forgive me if I'm just wrong, it seems like when I was shopping for the Bambino it was like $140, and a Maxbill was like $500 for essentially the same watch. I don't recall what a Junkers Bauhaus is, but if its double the price of a Bambino but otherwise looks very similar, I probably wouldn't buy it.

>>17521275
first of all never buy a junkers that is a joke brand like zeppelin. cringe, cringe, cringe.

junghans max bill mech is an ok watch if you want something "iconic" for effay points but desu the bauhaus concept clashes with mechanical watches in the modern era, you should get a quartz if "minimalist" is your kink. but if you're doing quartz you should do sapphire or mineral glass because acrylic is just wrist fedora le wrong decade shit. also le minimalism craze is done, like years ago, if that matters to you (probably shouldn't but just saying).

bambino on the other hand is a good babby's first watch for a baby faced manlet twink like you. buy your mabmino, then let me force feed you estrogen pills until your body hair falls off and you grow breasts. then I will fly you to thailand for the best surgery and you will come back and wonder how you ever thought you could have successfully larped as a male, you will look back on these times like it was a bad dream.

>>17521259
You're making a lot of false assumptions about me. For one, I don't fall into your republican/democrat dichotomy. I'm not even American. Politically I'm a centrist, not that it matters or pertains to what we're talking about. Ultimately some anon made a comment about poor people making poor decisions; then you immediately sperged out and started talking about black people, saying the N word and bringing up politics. Not everything boils down to race and politics. You need to grow up.

Bro are you okay? Plain watches have been fashionable for decades. Check the "vintage" watches even posted here occasionally. They're very plain, simple, and not cluttered with shit.

Then you go onto changing the sex of someone because they think a certain watch looks good? Calm down, go for a walk and realize what you're saying.

>>17521305
simple and minimalist are different concepts "bro". think sword hands vs stick hands. think signed crown vs plain crown. consider the fact that the max bill design was considered minimalist *even in a time period when 3 handers were the default watch*. the same watches you seem to consider its equivalent.

and I'm not changing anyone's sex, amabmino-chan was always a woman, she just wasn't recognized as such by cisiety. just helping her realize her true nature, bro.
