this is my daily, and when the sun came out the other day, i took a couple of pics

saw that in an earlier thread: really happy for you man, she's lush

>>17524642
Retarded moron in your brain.

>>17524645
I think it's a big shame Rolex discontinued these mutant airking/oyster perpetual/explorers. They were good for fucking around with random colors like olive green

>>17524648
Post your watch friend

>>17524657
Not your friend, you don't hgave any.

>>17524660
If you say so!

>>17524664
I fucking do lookg in your fucking morrior

well now we've established the tone for the proceedings, have a good thread everyone

>that monstrosity recently released by Longines
Seriously, why are people at Swatch Group so retarded?

>>17524704
I'm mad they discontinued the VHP.

>>17524704
Wow this would look awesome if it wasn't huge.

What the fuck does Rolex fragrance smell like? When I bought mine they offered a wallet or fragrance and I already have fragrance at home so I took the wallet

Holy shit the UK stiiinks

I tried on a Tissot PRX at a store today and was taken back by how cheap it felt for the $850 asking price. The bracelet feels like a metal Casio bracelet, poorly finished with uncomfortable sharp edges that dig into your wrist. The whole thing felt light and flimsy, the dial looked cheap in person. Everything about it was a disappointment.

Who buys that shit? It gets mogged by a Citizen for half the price.

>>17524769
>how cheap it felt for the $850 asking price
LMFAO RETARD
WATCHES START AT TEN TIMES THAT
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
LMOMOAAAAAAAAA

>>17524770
I was just trying it on out of curiosity. Obviously I wasn't expecting it to be Patek Phillip quality, but I thought it would be a lot better than it was for $850

>>17524769
hate to be the bearer of bad news but almost everything below $3k will feel and look like shit if you know what you're looking at

>>17524777
I'm aware of that. Even still, I was amazed how cheap an $850 watch could feel and I'm left dumbfounded as to who actually buys them. It seems like you are paying $850 just to have the words "Swiss Made" on your wrist.

>>17523777
No samefagging, why can't you accept that people enjoy watches in the lower price range?

>>17524795
Because those people are retarded stupid morons with no developed taste and they can't develop taste because they're poor losers from poor loser families and they just eat whatever slop is in their "price range" and pretend they like it so that they don't kill themselves.

>>17524704
i think i would quite like the longine monster, if the bezel actually rotates to move the interior marker, since you could paint a couple of marks on it with nail varnish to mark different timezones

>>17524769
I sold my Tissot PRX because the fit was shit, it's really annoying to size any integrated bracelet below the Zenith range.

Brown Seiko presage is based

>>17524775
Don't mind that guy, he's got issues. But yeah, diminishing returns on felt/perceived quality amongst luxury items like jewelry has these weird troughs of missing value and upcharging for name/brand only. Realistically theres a lot of $850+ watches that should be priced closer to $400 but because they have overhead like advertising they just charge people more. Also a lot of people pay those prices too simply because of brand recognition. Are Rolexes twice as good as GS? No but Rolex has badge so they can get away charging $20k for a watch they've been making for 60 years.

>>17524835
put the top row into the dumpster, they're awful. White Seiko on the bottom is my favorite.

>>17524789
the way i see it if you get any version other than the quartz youre doing it wrong and even then you really gotta like the design for it to be a sensible buy.

>>17524835
No more seiko for you. You have to many.
Buy a Patek.

Would a taupe suede strap match my watch from bulgaria?

>>17524993
>[
yeah

>>17524994
this or..

>>17524998
this?

>>17524998
The lighter one.

>>17525025
I think so too.

>>17524601
This watch lives rent free in my mind,I think I will waste my retirement money on it.

It looks so good.

>>17525065
BUY IT yolo

>own multiple expensive watches
>still haven't found happiness

>>17525032
>>17525025
>>17524993
So it would look similar to picrel

>>17525128
It'll probably turn out even lighter irl. I like how the grain of the strap pairs well with the dial texture.

>>17525128
>>17525136
Yeah, so theres 2 ideas here, either a dark, contrasting color like black or dark purple/brown/whatever making the dial and case jump out, or get a fairly similar color to the dial so it looks like a statement piece and its deliberate to look like there was an effort to match the dial. It'd still jump out if you had a darker shirt too.

>>17525118
Alright I'll take one, which one do you want to get rid of?

>>17525118
>thinking buying stuff gets you happiness
Damn now I'll always associate VC with being a fucking retard

>>17525173
He didn't "buy" them, it's the retarded tranny from a rich family, he has infinite money so it's not exactly buying, they just give him whatever he wants.

>>17525176
>Gets given free shit he doesn't actually care about
>isn't happy because of it
Quite the puzzle going on here.

>>17525176
what kind of retarded logic is this?
>buy an item
>uhm actually it's not a real purchase because you're rich

>>17525187
It's poorfag cope. >>17525118 isn't a tranny but a rich asian girl who asks daddy for money to buy shit to impress white men... then gets upset that white men won't date her.

>engraved rehaut
sexiest thing on a watch

>>17525187
How is anything a real purchase if you effectively have infinite money and it doesn't require any effort whatsoever?

>>17525195
the word purchase=exchanging money for goods

>>17524668
The key is to have a Rolex but not make a big deal about having a Rolex.

>>17525198
you don't need to make a big deal out of it, the anon posted his air kang and some other anon went into a bloody rampage for no reason

>>17524755
>>17524747
To be fair do they really have that many more watch thieves per Rolex?

>>17525201
They're not just nabbing Rolexes in the UK though, those idiots are snatching anything with a polished bezel. I've seen articles of people getting mugged for Seiko 5s LOL. At least the Suda African and Mexican thieves stick to shit that is worth it

is there any point being a "regular" person and owning a really nice luxury watch?
i make 70k a year, but i have no debt, i have a mortgage but live in a really low cost of living area and don't have any expenses besides food and phone/wifi, so i end up saving 40-50k a year of it
after a couple years I could easily get something really nice like a patek or AP, but what's the point if you don't live the lifestyle? does that makes sense? just because you can afford it because of the way you manage your finances doesn't mean you can pull it off
or am i thinking of it wrong?

>>17525217
It doesn't matter at all but having nice things is good. No one NEEDS a porsche but people buy a porsche because they want one

>>17525219
i guess to use your porsche comparison, me buying a patek is like someone driving a porsche to their job as a line cook at an olive garden. sure you can afford it, but you do not live the life

>>17525217
>live in a really low cost of living area
Where are you going to wear an AP when you're surrounded by rednecks? Like what for?

>>17525220
i'm not a line cook buy the way, i work a corporate job

>>17525221
that's what i'm asking. i work for a manufacturing company around drooling retards on a shop floor but i work in the corporate side in an office, making double what they do. but at the end of the day i'm still surrounded by hillbillies who wouldn't appreciate a nice watch

>>17525220
Rolex isn't like owning a porsche. Rolex is a middle class watch. Some retards spend $5000 on gacha games, some spend $5000 on backyard improvements, some spend $5000 on a watch. It doesn't matter.

>>17525220
>have money
>like watches
>buy a nice watch
how's this confusing to you dumb ass nigga

My daily since forever

>>17525238
what does it feel like wearing that bracelet after it stretches out like that? does it feel uncomfortable or weird?
getting a jub bracelet always scared me because of the stretching

>>17525241
Comfy as hell. You just gotta fit it to your wrist and not wear it oversized. It never scoots up and down my arm or anything like that.

>>17525241
Besides, it looks worse than it is on that pic. Here is what it looks like on my arm.

>>17525223
who are you buying the watch for?

why the fuck do sarbs cost 1000+? aren't they just seiko 5s?

picrel is the greatest and best watch
all else is cope

>>17524835
y no casio?

>>17525261
Same answer as any other watch, because retards keep paying for them. 6

Sorry about your loss. I dread the day. The one on the left looks nice.

Watch people are cringe faggots. I wear an $80 Garmin rubber heart rate tracker. Can't imagine trying to impress people with a golden bracelet like some homo.

>>17524835
Better off selling everything at the top

>>17524848
That's a fair point. I saw a bunch of hype about it online and had high expectations. Overall it's not a terrible watch, just overpriced in my opinion. The bracelet was the biggest letdown. I read so much praise about it online, how the butterfly clasp was great, etc. But to me it felt cheap and poorly finished for the price.
>>17524870
You're right, the quartz version was about half the price of the automatic. If someone really liked the design I would also recommend going with that. I've read a bunch of criticism online about the Tissot powermatic movement using plastic parts and having poor build quality too.

>>17525492
Don't listen to the trolls. Wear them with pride

>>17524848
>Are Rolexes twice as good as GS?
wtf are you on? GS is as expensive as Rolex.
The only 20k+ Rolex are made in gold.

Name a better watch.
Pro-tip: you can't.

Seiko Dolce high accuracy quartz dress watch, 33.5mm w/o crown.
Gold vs silver version?
My glasses are gold wire frames if that makes any difference. Suit is a dark, dark blue. Shoes: colour 8 shell cordovan.

>>17525797
i like the one from your pic. both would work with a blue suit. get a strap that matches your shoes and belt. not huge on gold plating tho. how much do they go for?

>>17525816
$357.88.
Strap's 17mm, which is annoying, but I suppose etsy has a bunch of stuff.

>>17525855
well nevermind then, i was going to tell you that you can get vintage solid gold for not that much money but we're still talking 4x that.

New to watches - got this from my dad, is it a good one?

>>17525899
No but it was your dad's at least

>>17525899
>>17525923
I got a watch from a relative, I never wore it for years because I thought it was really expensive. Later decided to get a battery for it and wore it anyway, turns out it is actually a $50 shitter, but it's still one of my favourites

>>17525797
what's the name of the one in silver without the DOLCE branding?
or is it only the one in gold that comes without it?

personally I'd go silver most bc gold is not a real precious metal for that price and the coating they used can come off when you bang or scratch it

>>17525927
>I never wore it for years because I thought it was really expensive.
Did you not have the internet lmfao?

>>17524835
Wouldnt critizise your collection because it's nearly all Seiko or something. Also I don't know how you dress, etc. The thibg that immediately comes to mind though is, that your watches all seem too similar. There is no real variety in your collection.

>>17525927
man at least post a fucking picture or a name

>>17525217
I think you should go for it, if it is something meaningful to you. You dont seem like the person who has/wants to impress others by luxury goods anyway. You might also see a watch as an investment, depending on a model wich suits both this purpose and your personal taste, it is certainly better than having the same amount of money in a bank account, being eaten awqy vy inflation.

what's the point of the 2nd flap if there's only 1 ring?

>got a new automatic
>picked it up to swing it around a bit
>it stopped
did I kill it?

>>17525217
It would be dumb to spend huge money on a Patek but definitely a Rolex or Omega would be cool for you.

>>17525606
OP is the best Rolex in the catalog right now except maybe the no date sub. I prefer black or silver to green though.

>>17525606
It's nice but just too plain for me to justify paying that much money

Will women sleep with me if I wear an expensive watch?

>>17525355
Just for you.

>>17525361
Because I know you care.

>>17526077
Yes.

>>17526077
>women
>noticing watches
>much less, being impressed by watches
this has never happened in human history

Is this kind of strap too much for someone who wears all black/dark tones often?

>>17525217
it is amazing to me that anyone would buy a cool watch before a cool car

>>17526105
I know women with nice watches. Cartier, piaget, nomos, and rolex come to mind. In my experience, women definitely care about watches, a hell of a lot. The thing is, they don't respect moid cope horology like microbrands, "underrated" brands like grand seiko, or vintage anything. Those are strictly moid purchases for impressing other moids. No woman will ever think you're cool for having a 6138. A lot of dudes will though if you like cock.

>>17525223
When I was in my early 20s I took a part time job at a factory doing menial work. There was a vice president who would sometimes strut across the floor, wearing dandyish clothes, soaked in perfume, looking very pleased with himself, and the general attitude seemed to be that he was like a lost peacock from the zoo, nobody was impressed, just kinda mildly sympathetic because he so desperately craved approval from someone who was not there.

I actually really like the dirty dozen dial
Kek baltany makes a better version of that exact watch than longjeans though

>>17526172
nah, the retard would be me, because I didn't look it up earlier. Still, as I said, I like it very much.

>>17526177
That's a load of bullshit, in this day and age there are much better ways to securely authenticate a physical object. The ROLEXROLEXROLEX is there because ROLEXROLEXROLEX fans like it that way

Looking at spending ~£7k on a watch - got a job as a trader and just got bonused - preferably leather strap and silver/gold body. Want it to be sophisticated looking. No Rolex.

What do I get?

>>17526256
>>17526246
That sucks anon.
Was it something wrong with the watch or something you did? Also which watch?

>>17526305
eco drives are the thinking mans automatic

>>17526300
Same thing they were thinking when they keep adding 2mm per year to every watch and discontinuing the ones that don't suck

They know anyone with taste has enough money for something better, and what does that leave. Pleb customers who want pleb things

Watch companies are not as dumb as you think

>>17526305
Shitizen just can't do uglykino like Seiko and Casio can. Compare the Arnie to that clusterfuck on your wrist

>>17525383
>they used to be like $300 though

well yeah, and at that price they were a pretty good deal
but after they were discontinued, and a bunch of people missed out on buying one when available, that turned people's minds to thinking that it was much more desirable a piece than it actually is

so now w have a bunch of dudes jonesing to get their hands on one, justifying to themselves the idea of picking one up on the grey market for maybe 100 over rrp, then 200, then the current prices where they're selling at 900+

and after all's said and done, it's still a 300 dollar watch

many such examples in the watch-world, don't let it phase you, go and spend your own 300 on something comparable, and likely better fitting than a sarb
(look at the lug to lug length, and compare the depth/thickness of the case, to find a watch that will hug your measured wrist)

>>17526280
That is better than a normal rolex tbf but I don't like the bezel on rolex

>>17526300
Cyclops was on the Red Alpinist from the 90's, design of which SARBs and current SPBs are currently using

I currently have the Speedmaster hesalite 3861. Would the Submariner or Seamaster round out my two watch collection?

>>17526272
Well it's a warranty case, isn't it? You shouldn't break a watch just swinging it around. Otherwise they wouldn't be selling watches to Italians

adolescence is coveting rolex
adulthood is realizing extremely niche seiko quartz shitters from the 70s, 80s and 90s are the logical end goal for watch collecting

>>17526387
Between those two I'd get the seamaster.

>>17526387
>>17526408
Why would anyone choose a Seamaster over a Submariner?
>Submariner is boring

WAYWT /wt/ bros? For me, it's my 1970's PR516 today. I'm sick to fucking death of this shit weather lately, but a mate of mine is on about maybe going up north with me to buy a rug soon, so that's fun I guess. Anyone else been up to much lately?

Guys do you have a watch for me that looks exactly like this or like this but tonneau, but isn't a Seiko? I just can't buy a fucking Seiko but it's so nice I really like the golden highlights.

>>17526461
Just get the fucking seiko, it's clearly the watch you want.

>>17526462
BUT IT'S A SEIKO

>>17526463
Yes, and?

>>17526447
honestly not bad, I don't like how those look in joma pics but it looks really nice there

is the lume as bad as they say?

>>17526422
The bb58 lost it's allure for me after like 2 months

>>17526473
its* thanks autocorrect

>>17526467
Basically I want something that says 'this guy is poor now but he's had better days' not 'this guy is poor now always was poor and he bought a poorfag watch a few months ago' I need a watch that looks liek this but it was a little bit better than a Seiko maybe 20 years ago or maybe a heirloom watch or maybe something like where it's a vintage watch but same size as normal wathces now however there is no vintage Sieko or Longines or anything that looks like that exactly and if there are they are extremely small so I don't know what to do.

>>17526479
Or you could just stop being insecure and get the watch you want without caring about what others think about it.

>>17526485
i'm not the lawyer anon i only have 4 watches
>>17526480
i should definitely give it one

>>17526487
And you could stop projecting and actually read my post? I want to manufacture a history of my character, but all the vintage shit that fits the bill is too small and honestly looks extremely shitty compared to a cheap modern Seiko.

I am constantly amazed at how bad watches look even if they're from the 90s or 00s compared to the last 10-15 years, it's like they flipped a switch and suddenly every watchmaker got access to some modern technology at the same time from mall shitters to luxury.

>>17526494
I did
>I want something that says 'this guy is poor now but he's had better days' not 'this guy is poor now always was poor and he bought a poorfag watch a few months ago'
Screams insecurity. Stop giving a shit, just get what you want without worrying about how you think it'll make others perceive you.

>>17526485
>guy posts watch in watch thread
>anon seethes INSANELY hard
What is wrong with this general LMAO

>>17526497
But I want a watch that says that and fits that manufactured persona? Can you just concentrate for like 5 seconds dude.

I am also purchasing other legacy items such as a necklace with "my family saint", army documents from my "grandpa", and a leather briefcase "my father left me" for example.

>>17526508
>But I want a watch that says that and fits that manufactured persona?
That's even more pathetic.

I live in north-central Mexico and now that I think about it I've never seen a native wearing a watch. there are mostly Tarahumars and Tepehuans around here, tho. I don't know if the southern ones are into haute horlogeire.

kinda looks like a very expensive toy watch doesnt it? still want one tho.

Submariner doesn’t have white dial and rubber strap options. Seamaster just looks cooler and more modern. Sub is a classic, but kind of has that golf club boomer showing off feel.

watches will last way longer than a car. especially modern cars which are all plastic and electronic components that fail
new cars are meant to last a couple years then you sell them and get another new one, rinse and repeat. cars are such a shitty asset to buy

Maybe it's just a southern thang but I have never been discriminated against at watch stores

what do you wear when wearing a watch during the winter? the sleeves always cover the watch and I need to be self conscious about it and try do adjust the sleeve but its never comfortable or looks authentic, and its annoying especially when I wear solar powered watches and I want them to get light exposure, how people do it? do you just wear very slim fit shirts/jackets so the sleeves are shorter and fit tight to the skin?

Watches are cringe as is, what's your point?

I tend to at least skip my diver since it's the fattest
Cocktail time fits pretty nice under most of my sleeves

It would be very useful though to know that when you pay a premium price for an exquisite mechanical watch you don't really pay the guy assembling them.Such a high value technician wouldn't even be able to pay for one of the 100 watches they assemble in one month from their monthly wages even if they'd be eating nothing and not paying a rent in Basel which is about 2500 $ /month...There's a lot of myth around paying for the artful hand made jobs, but truth be told, being a very high valued technician in any of the high end watch companies or just any technical job in any domain is not what you may think.Try to find the real market wages the guys make your favourite watch for and you'll find that you actually pay a slave owner.

>>17527132
Jumping hours was on my list of "nice to have" feature list, but in the end the options were to get a GS that was way too big, or The Citizen. The Citizen also has a true instant date change, which no Seiko has, but The Citizen is way too proprietary and weird to inspire confidence in the longevity

if you like it! Blue dial/blue strap looks nice in general, and I for one like that it doesn't have the indices for every minute on the dial, and no date, making the watch more clean

Listen, Seiko cocktail times are beautiful, but i feel like 4 is 2 too many, even if you love all the variations.
I'm still unsure if i should buy a bambino or if it would be too similar in use to my cocktail time.
I do get the feeling of being flooded with color options.

17 mm - which is tiny. I may try some (anti-)tapered straps, like swatch uses on the 34 mm classic gent. The dimensions of the watch are exactly the same as the MQ24, which I find ideal. However, the rubber strap of the MQ24 is also (anti-)tapered with 17 mm lug width but 20ish mm strap width.

>>17527317
i suspect you're better off with a quartz watch in that price range (seagull) and for that purpose. nice boris, like the dial color a lot

Want to buy it...i love the manly contrasty design, vintage look and two date...the perfect late 70s early 80s look.
Just not sure yet...
100€

>>17527359
kek this is ridiculous in the best way. love it

>>17527343
>17 mm
Thought so because i saw the gap and i also have a Seiko with 19mm lug width and i used 18mm straps at first but the gap bothered me so much that i bought 19mm straps just for it. The watch looked off and too 'skinny' with 18mm straps but is perfect with 19mm ones. I would suggest you buy a (custom) 17mm strap if you can find one, there is a reason for the width to be what it is, it's about its proportion to the case diameter and as far as i am able to tell Seiko always uses straps that are at least half the case diameter or more (so 16mm would be too think and and 18mm a bit too wide in your case).

>>17527359
I own a Bambino, I understand its a Japanese movement assembled in china and they're fairly decent watches. But this one in your pic doesn't sit right with me. Errant button that does nothing. The balance of the offset day window, the random 3 stars (3 out of 5?) and how the indices are around the face just looks off. Slight tweaks would make this watch great, but for $100 its okay. Get it, you eurobitch.

>>17527403
I'm thinking about this 17 mm strap from nomos (>>17524998), however I am still undecided on the taupe color in general.

>>17527359
It's nasty, but i get that some people like this look. What's the button for?

Seems fair honestly. Probably the same would be true of any company with certain old rare models

>>17527429
Just buy another same watch and use it as a part donor, how hard can it be?

>>17527452
vintage hi-beat gs supposedly

anyone have any idea how much would this watch be worth? i would like to repair it but i think the snakeskin is beyond repair. im not sure how to know if its genuine... it was anniversary gift of sorts, and was gifted in 1964 (which is engraved on the back). there is also a fine engraved serial number on the back.

i appreciate any replies, i really like how this watch looks and would repair it if it has any value.

Take my advice. Most of you people shouldn't buy an expensive watch.

Hear me out. Expensive watches are for people who already have everything else in life. Nice car, house paid for, kids college paid for, maybe retired, etc.. If you are in that stage of your life, then buy a Rolex if it makes you happy.

Most of you could probably save up $10k+ to buy a luxury watch. But should you? I don't think so. There's so many more useful things you could spend that money on instead.. You shouldn't strain yourself financially because you want to appear rich. And if you don't care about appearances and just want one because you like watches, there are many affordable options out there to hold you over until you are at a stage in your life when it makes more sense to buy a luxury watch.

This advice doesn't apply to people who are mega-rich or old, but I reckon 99% of you reading this right now don't fall under that category.

>>17527530
Well those are almost 60 years old now. I don't expect watch manufacturers to keep spare parts of near 60 year old watches in stock, a lot of things have changed in that time, they probably don't even have the machines to make those parts anymore. It's an unfortunate situation for that anon, but with vintae watches it is to be expected. I own a vintage Seiko as well and i sometimes wonder that it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy another knackered but working one for parts to have a peace of mind if something does go wrong. There are plenty of them still around so i'm not worried too much yet.

Got this today bros. Got into watches only a few weeks ago. This is my second piece. Next one will probably will be a diver. Not sure which one though.

>>17527545

why would i buy a watch for a few K if they cant guarantee service in 60 years?
