Holy shit the ad Tudor put out for their new watch release is the worst fucking thing I’ve ever seen, how am I supposed to take this company seriously

It’s a promotional video for their newly released watches. Дypний дeбiл

>>17550369
Fra ma che cazzo me ne frega di Cottarelli, avevo visto sta pic ed ero curioso

Asking again if anyone is able to recognize the watch, the name of this guy is Carlo Cottarelli

>>17550788
You don’t. #BornToSuckDick

>>17550801
>marketing is cringe
Oh wow, I didn't know that.
What about the watches now?

Let me guess, you need more?

>>17550805
Seems pretty lackluster for the most part imo, the smaller diver is cool. The royal still looks like shit although the salmon dial makes it nicer. Don’t care for the new opaline dial on the gmt

>>17550808
Yeah, I don’t care about Casio and I need a steel/gold watch so I can wear whatever rings I like and it’ll still match

>>17550808
No but I'm going to buy a solar radiocontrolled one after I get drunk and I decide to waste money

>>17550808
I need less

>>17550808
yeah, I'd rather guess the time by burning my eyes looking at the sun

>>17550796
Couldn't listen to it for more than 10s.

>>17550808
The asymmetrical date number positions trigger my OCD.

Amerilards celebrating after the reveal of the Explorer 40.

>>17550818
Yeah it’s painful, the guy’s voice is the embodiment of a soi latte

>>17550820
>The asymmetrical date number
What?

>>17550822
I'm always amazed at how front dude collapses like a telescopic cup.

>>17550822
Reminder,
Having a nice watch is completely pointless if you're fat. Anyone close enough to be able to see that your watch is nice isn't going to be thinking
>Nice watch
they'll be thinking
>Oh God, he smells like shit. He's so fat he can't wipe his own ass.

>>17550824

>>17550808
I'd actually get this if it had a different font

I’m excited for the new black bay 36s. What they did with the S&G line they transferred to the stainless steel ones. They are great explorer alternatives now.

One day I'll be able to reliably service Accutrons.

Hopefully this will be that first watch.

>>17550832
They fucked the black up

>>17550832
I’m a fan of the light champagne dial.

>>17550833
Isn't that the watch that has kinda microscopic components? The one which cannot be replicated?

>>17550834
Yeah they changed the blue dial too. But they added the t fit clasp so it’s now objectively the best braceleted 36mm watch aside from maybe pateks or something

Cartier has some nice new releases
>new Tank Americaine (thinner, better movement on the automatic one)
>new Santos Dumont
>Santos in blue and green
>some nice Collection Privée stuff that I'll never buy

>>17550822

40 mm is the appropriate modern size for a sports watch. If you’re a man and you can’t wear a 40 mm watch without it looking large on your wrist, you’re just a tiny person. Has nothing to do with fat or skinny.

>>17550840
Damn I might reconsider my Seamaster purchase for my birthday for a 36. Those t fit bracelets make it seem like you could wear it on steel with the comfort of rubber

>>17550846
I'd still want the old black one. I've never really felt the need for an adjustable bracelet. I guess I don't get very bloated.

>>17550839
Yeah, so you absolutely have to baby it during service.

Never damaged one so far though. It's just that adjusting them is kinda tricky.

I want to wear a 36mm watch on my big, hairy wrist. It's comfortable and looks great.

>>17550845
It's about style.
I wear 40 or 42mm watches without any problem but the 36mm Explorer has that vintage vibe that I like. It just feels great.

>>17550839
There it is.

No point in pulling the crown to stop it since all "hacking" does in this model is lift the pawl jewel away from the index wheel, while the whole thing still keeps oscillating.

>>17550870
Zoomed out.

Note the screw and Bulova stamping for scale.

Did Rolex discontinue the Milgauss because it was ugly as shit?

>>17550822

>>17550885

My z blue gets endless compliments from normies during the summer. The green ring around it is based. Glad I was able to snag one now that it’s gone.

It's crooked, it hurts my brain, it would drive me mad.

>>17550796
Why did they hire a zoomer to make this ad?

>>17550885
Is the word "Milhouse" copyrighted?

If the Milgauss is being discontinued I should unironically found one of those generic NH35/Miyota 9015/Sellita homage brands, and have the first watch be the XY Milhouse. Maybe release a hybrid of the old and modern Milgauss.

Truly the fitting watch for Milhouse

>>17550895
What makes it worse is that literally everything else on the dial is symmetrical so it sticks out even more.

>>17550796
>Tudor Royal
Damn shame these don't come with a restarted-production Oysterquartz movement, or a comparable super high-end quartz.

couldnt find any live pics

Boring. the same with JLC presenting another reverso. like do something new. atleast cartier has some new models for the girls.

TFW i have to wait another year for the 36mm ranger.

Just want to say I appreciate your posts anon, they're very interesting.

I can't wait to get my new watch that's made by a gay robot if Tudor's advertising is to be believed

>>17550918
They use onions cum to lubricate your movement.

>>17550913
At least fill it with numbers so it isn't as obvious, that 15 on the Casio is so bad it's unacceptable.

>>17550897
Some Japanese brand is already doing that. I forget the name but they do vintage sub and other rolex homages is the $500 range. Overpriced since they are made in china

>>17550897
I'd buy one. It'd be a hit with all those microshitter reviewers too.

>>17550899
>>17550935
Hello I'd like to invest in this business endeavor.

The milgauss hasn't made sense in years.
>special magnetic resistance watch, accomplishes this by having a soft iron layer under the dial and a second case back.
>this was top tier antimagnetic technology in the 80s
>meanwhile omega just makes movements without magnetic hairsprings, no need for soft iron liners
>all omega watches all have 10x the magnetic resistance of the rolex
>Special antimagnetic omegas have 100x the magnetic resistance of the milgauss
>rolex starts using non magnetic hairsprings in some watches, doesn't put one in the milgauss
It made sense when it was released as a tool watch for nerds and engineers that worked around certain heavy equipment but its been a relic of the past for a long time using outdated technology and not even coming close to the antimagnetic performance of competitors

>>17550928
>Black women complement it for some reason

Elaborate. I wish to breed with black women.

>>17550942
>Seiko Save the Ocean Samurai
It just looks like a flashy rolex to them.

>>17550941

Christ you're such a sucker for marketing you stupid faggot

>blue dial looks pretty
>green crystal ring is cool and unique
>lightning bolt seconds hand is cool
>looks good in the sun

simple as. it doesn't have to "make sense" due to some ridiculous marketing horseshit.

>>17550796
the voice over is cringe but i liked the factory/process tour. the automated aspects of the rolex and i guess now tudor factory are taught in business schools as examples of how efficiency drives profit, so it was nice to see it in action.

https://youtu.be/elq8p8ZVCUk
Rolex will have his revenge.

>>17550942
Best I can tell it's the blue face and ring. I don't see a ton of people wearing watches that aren't black/white/gray IRL unless they're god awful goober watches. The others have garnered complements occasionally, but only from white people.

>>17550941
Soviet Komandirskies had the iron shield. It was kinda amusing.

Then again, an Amphibia and a 5513 Sub are kinda comparable too, except for the movement, which was of course light-years ahead of Vostok's shitter.

RIP in peace Milgauss

>>17550934
>senpai.

/wt/ should make it it's mission to make it's own watch, like one every year.

>>17550941

>>17550907
Looks shit.

Both blue & green would have been better if they were elegant/pale colours, I wish Cartier would stop trying to pretend the Santos is a sports watch.

I like these new 38mm Aqua Terras. 41 was too big for them, that size is better suited for dive watches.

It is though.

What's a good cheapo Tank watch? Quartz is very ok, for "good" I mainly refer to the stock leather strap, I want leather nothing fancy but at least that doesn't feel like painted cardboard

The dial style and colors are ugly as fuck. They already had a 38.5mm Aqua Terra.

>>17550987
Everyone loves playing agario.io

>>17550987

Yeah, it looks awesome. People that dislike it are fucking boring. If you couldn't see yourself wearing this watch in a white t-shirt while at the pool on a summer day, you're just no fun.

>>17550987
Literally the most tasteless moron on the planet.
You and people like you are what’s wrong with watches.

>>17550999

>noooo you can't like something light-hearted and colorful
>every watch from Rolex needs to be a minor, bland variation of a design from the 1950s!

lmfao, you're so lame. gimme my bubble watch.

>>17550999
Trips of truth?

>>17550995
I like it. I've never been a fan of the textured dial

>>17550972
Get the new Tudor BB39. Omega is practically obsolete at this point.

>>17550997
If I wanted a playful colourful watch to wear at the pool in the summer I'd buy a Swatch for like $50. I wouldn't buy a Rolex for that one specific occasion. Maybe if I had Elon Musk money I would buy it to wear a few times

>>17550928
>>17550942
My black ex-gf's fav watch of mine was my Alpinist. How does Seiko do it?

>>17551010
Then get one from pre-2012. Those coloured dials are still much better than the new ones and you have a choice in sizes

>>17550987
For me, it's pic related

>>17550972
I actually think the sandstone one mogs the silver-dial OP/DJ36s, and I've always said OP>AT.

>>17551023
34mm even looks clean.

>>17551023
That fucking date window tho
It's awful
And no, I don't have a problem with date windows as a concept
But that is horrendous

>>17551027
That's an older picture, now it's framed and looks better, but there aren't any non-rendered pictures around yet.

>>17551023
Date window needs a frame, bad.

>>17551021
This is about where Rolex is at today

>>17551027
>>17551030

>>17551028
Omega is starting to send them to ADs.
They were announced a year ago but for some reasons they're available just now.

>>17550987
Tiffany blue is literally the most tasteless shit on the planet.
Any time I see Tiffany blue I think of a 300lb fat loser from Texas who bought his 350lb land whale Disney adult wife some Nike sneakers in the limited edition Tiffany blue colorway.

Not even nouveau riche. Just straight poor

>>17551038
omega is really losing their way
the last good thing they did was the new de ville with the blue textured dial

>>17551023
I like those ones from last year but the lack of a date window frame bothers me, and the 34mm is too small for me. I'm glad they included a date frame on this year's release
>>17551020
I'll check them out

>>17551038
Yeah, I'm gonna hopefully try one on when I next go in to pick up my quick-extension clasp for my speedy.

>>17551040
Omega haters working overtime today. I guess Rolexe's releases at W&W didn't move the needle enough on social media.

>>17551038
No they are 2 different versions. Last year they released the sunburst dials with no date frame and everyone complained about it, so just recently they released a 2023 version with date frames and a few new colors.

>>17551045
I’m not an Omega hater, there’s some good stuff in the catalog.

As for Rolex, I’d say W&W was a fat dud for them too. I guess the 1908 is better than the Cellini (die, finally) but I still wouldn’t but it.

>>17551048
God so fucking ugly.
The watch sand the dial colors.

>>17551045
I feel that not a lot of people can afford the new rolex releases (titanium diver, new DDs, PM dress watches, PM GMTs, and daytonas), so interest in them will slow down this year.

The only thing they released in the same price point as omega is a badly proportioned explorer; 2023 is omega's year if they do the right thing and update the fucking smp bracelet and case dimensions.

>>17551048
The ones released last year never hit the stores.

>>17550902
>for nerds

>>17551045
>>17551050
I like Rolex but the move to use a display caseback on a few new models really disappointed me. It's only the new Daytona and Cellini 2.0 but still sucks. I really like the black and gold GMT tho

>>17550945
based

It was a solid looking watch with just a little fun zing to it. Unlike this literal autism LGBTBBQ++ watch

>>17551054
>update the fucking smp bracele
Seriously. Take a page from the Seamaster 300 Heritage version. It's got nice, flat links and a comfortable taper. It makes the whole watch lighter.

>>17551057
I thought he was a geek?

>>17550918
Lol, Tudor are copying San Martin now.

>>17551061
>Unlike this literal autism LGBTBBQ++ watch
You know they're only going to make like 50 of these in total? Shit like this is just to give people at trade shows something to talk about.

>>17550987
Imagine finding out at the reading of a will that you're inheriting a Rolex and you open the box and it's a beat to fuck version of this lmao

>>17551056
They must've got enough backlash about the lack of date frame that they postponed it for a year to tweak it. The new ones are in Omega boutiques now.

>>17551061
they made a Rolex for autism lol

>>17551021
Rolex Oyster Pepetual when?!

Does Long Jeans do watches & wonders? I want to know if the 39mm Legend Diver is real already.

>>17551084
Nope. No Swatch brands at W & W

>>17550788
Which one? Post it

I like this new minute repeater from Patek

>>17550796
So Tudor decided to go all in with the zoomer audience now?

>>17551084
>>17551084
For a second i thought i'm looking at the Polaris.

>>17550918
>$3,850
honestly is there a better value proposition in this price range?

i see an infinite amount of shitters using sellita/ETA movements from tons of mainstream and alternative brands in the $2k-$4k range. but here is Tudor putting out a Rolex Sub tier watch for under $4k.

>>17551098
The leap year indicator is unnecessary.

>>17551098
wow patek is really in the shitter now too

>>17551106
The fact they are METAS testing them is pretty impressive at that price range
>>17551107
Not as unnecessary as having a hidden tourbillon. The only advantage of having one is to have something cool to look at on the dial, and they aren't even displaying it lol

>>17550833
I bought one where a battery had leaked all over the movement, the index wheel still looked in alright condition but one of the coils was bust, which is usually what goes. I do have some magnet wire, but fuck rewinding one of those cunts for a movement that's probably fucked elsewhere anyway.

>>17551113
I looked at their new releases on their website and they're all pretty ugly. The minute repeater is the only one that stood out to me as interesting.

Just put myself on the list for the 36mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 mm balloons. I have a 30k purchase history but I'm probably not getting it.

>>17550833
>>17551116
Citizen bought Bulova and is planning on making it their up-market brand the same way Seiko has Grand Seiko. I doubt they will service vintage Bulova watches but any of their new releases should be fine

>>17551017

>swimming in a body of water
>one specific occasion

Jesus fucking Christ. Poorfag and loserfag detected. It’s just $6k. Who cares? If I shatter the Crystal on the cement near the pool it’s no big deal. If it falls off while body surfing and gets lost in the ocean I don’t fucking care.

You retards treat inanimate objects like they need to have all of this horseshit meaning. What wrong with you? It’s a colorful watch. I’ll wear it at the pool or ocean where I’m already going to be wearing a colorful bathing suit and a t shirt. Or I’ll wear it at a brewery during the summer on a Saturday. Obviously we’re not taking that thing into a board room standoff. It’s just a fun watch — relax

>>17551122
Unfortunately if you really want it you are probably going to have to get one from a grey market dealer for twice the price of retail. It's the same with the Hulk

>>17551129
Lol I think you're the one that should relax. Don't act personally offended that I don't like that Rolex. I am actually pretty wealthy (top 1%) but I still don't waste money on an expensive watch I would only wear on a very specific occasion. Also you will never find one of those for $6k, don't be naive.

>>17551130
I'm not super keen on paying grey but ive bought two oysters and an explorer from there before

>>17551113

They don’t make a single watch that I want anymore. It’s really nuts. Their brand is so strong that I want a Patek just to have one, but I don’t like any of their watches. The 5711 discontinuation is insane. The Calatrava, despite the history, is ugly and the wrong size. The comparable offerings from Vacheron and Lange absolutely blow it out of the water.

Patek is a mess

>>17551102
Gen-X is too old and the millennials are all broke. What's left? Try to squeeze a couple more bucks out of a bunch of dying boomers?

>>17551141
You might get it. It's hard to say with Rolex ADs.

Rolex only makes 1 million watches per year, and for that OP in that specific dial there are only going to be a few thousand around, and all the super rich guys with long purchase history always get first dibs.

>>17551137

> I would only wear on a very specific occasion

If swimming or wearing some casual summer clothing is a “very specific occasion” for you, your life sucks and/or you’re a boring loser.

>implying I care about whatever price it goes to on the gray market

Still chump change. You’re not rich

>>17551146
>millennials are all broke
Most millennials are entering the stage of their lives where they're several years removed from college, years into their careers and making money now. Most are married and spouses working is the norm so they have two incomes now
Only the retards who didn't go to school or studied meme degrees are still poor

>>17551149

>>17551153
True. My wife and I are young-ish millennials and we’re worth about $1.6M.

>>17551157
Post a picture of your wife's assets.

will my milgauss increase in value now?

>>17550783
I only buy Timex and Casio.

>>17551102
Fuck man I’m a zoomer and that shit really just pushed me away from Tudor. Final nail in the coffin on that one, shows a complete lack of understanding the market unless they’re specifically trying to appeal to Reddit

>>17551153
>Only the retards who didn't go to school or studied meme degrees are still poor
That's the overwhelming majority of that generational cohort, though.
We're all multi-millionaires, here, but among the normies, it's pretty grim.

>>17551169
I think they are. They aren't Rolex and aren't allowed to try to compete with them so they have decided the young, cool, hip audience is their new target audience

>>17551169
why do they feel the need to talk to their target audience as if they were babies?

>>17551171
Almost every single person in my peer group is doing extremely well now.
One is a dentist, one is a corporate lawyer, one is in med school, another works in marketing making insane money, a couple became engineers, another a computer scientist
Of course you're right though, my best friend since childhood has two kids and starts a new job as a line cook every 6 months. He'll never have a real career or be wealthy. One of my best friends from high school is a school janitor and that's all he'll ever be
But in general, I'd say most of my peer group is doing very well for themselves now and are all making good money

You guys are unironically spending 30k on status symbols?

>>17551172
It’s a damn shame because they have some great movements for the price.
>>17551177
No damn clue but it was grating as hell, very limited showcasing on the watches themselves and the use of slang was disrespectful to my ears

>>17551179
Nope. Buying replicas of $30K status symbols for a few hundred bucks because nobody can tell the difference.

>>17551191
Criminally based

>>17550954

of course it's not like any Rolex owner dives with it anymore

Wristwatches are supposed to be outdated, that's the whole point

>>17551178
>But in general, I'd say most of my peer group is doing very well for themselves now and are all making good money
That's your peer group, though, not an entire generational cohort. You're doing well, yes. You probably grew up in a more well-to-do area, not the inner city, a dead Rust Belt town, or some rural dustbowl.

On the whole, compared to Gen-Xers or Boomers, Millennials are well behind the curve, in terms of greater debt, lower rates of home-ownership, etc. They've had two major economic crises that occurred at vital points in their careers which affects their lifetime earnings.

Are vostocks still being sold to the US even with the war?

>>17551084
>Long Jeans
i mean, it's obvious and yet i never heard it before and now i can't stop laughing about it.

>>17551179
Nope. I only pay attention to Rolex new releases because they are the industry leader and all other watch companies copy them. Like a few years ago when they made a Tiffany blue OP and now they are everywhere, even Patek released a Tiffany blue 5711

It's interesting to see where the trends are heading.

Recs? Don't know anything about watches but I want a skeleton, budget $3k, and I intend to wear it to work with a business suit.

>>17551223
>>17551039

>>17551223
Based.
Dozens of brands have done 3 hands sports watches in vivid colors since Rolex did it.

>>17551224
Don't buy a 'skeleton' watch. Get a nice dress or sport watch.

>>17551225
I don't like Tiffany blue dials either but my point still stands. Rolex are the trend setters, that's why I paid attention to their new releases today.

Mostly agree. Zenith is the only maker that seems to pull off the skeleton dials really well in my opinion.

WHEN WILL JLC UPGRADE THE REVERSO MOVEMENT??
IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A 3HZ MOVEMENT WITH ONLY 40H OF POWER RESERVE IN A LUXURY WATCH IN 2023 REEEEEEEEEEEE

>>17551245
B-but I wanted something with muh cogs to show off muh mechanical engineering :'(

>>17551252
No it isn't. Stop sperging. It's a little dress watch, you're not using it to time an artillery strike. Plus, it's a hand-winding watch. Wind it in the morning when you put it on.

You're just being silly.

>>17551252
you don't need more than 3hz when you're riding your horse and competing in your polo competitions

>>17551252
LMAO.
>I refuse to purchase a watch I can't afford on technical grounds.

>>17551267
>Plus, it's a hand-winding watch. Wind it in the morning when you put it on.
this is what I like about hand-winding watches. they don't "force" you to wear them constantly like automatics do, especially ones with date or other similar complications
you're gonna have to wind it anyway, so you might as well let them wind down and adjust while you're at it. it's a nice ritual

>>17551252
>EVERY WATCH NEEDS TO BE A HIGH-BEAT CHRONOMETER WITH AT LEAST 300M WATER RESISTANCE AND 72HRS POWER RESERVE!!!

I bought the dog dick watch

>>17551252
JLC is overrated anyways. Reverso looks like something my grandmother would wear

>>17551270
He's right. It is unacceptable, especially for 10 grand.
The movement hasn't changed for at least 30 years (it was upgraded in the 90s). It's not even antimagnetic ffs.
4Hz, 2 days of PR and antimagnetic hairspring should be the bare minimum for a watch from JLC.

>>17551283
Why do people call JLC "the watchmaker's watchmaker" when they clearly put zero effort into their movements

>analog 90€ g-shock draws more attention than my 250€ automatic reddit seiko
>also doesn't require adjusting every other day

Submariner with a grey bezel when?

>>17551290
if you need accuracy and attention and don't care about watches then yes, a g-shock will serve you better than a cheap automatic

>>17551294
Tooter did a grey one a few years ago

have you ever received a watch as a gift? did you like it?

my mom got me this watch for my birthday a few years back. It's not exactly my style but it's quite fun with the open heart and clearly germanic bauhausish design. case finishing and stock strap is good for this price range too

>>17551273
>this is what I like about hand-winding watches.
Same. If I wind it up in the morning, I know exactly how long it will run, whether I leave it sitting on my dresser or if I wear it.
With an automatic, I don't know if I've moved enough during the day to keep it wound if I don't want to wear it over the weekend.

>>17551273
>>17551303
you can also hand-wind automatics..

>>17551286
They used to make movements for other brands (VC, PP and AP included).
I think they still make some good shit. The Master Control and Master Ultra Thin lines are pretty great.
But yeah, the movement inside the Reverso is very weak by today's standards.

>>17551302
Things like these should only be given by blood relatives that you're really close to. It's very hard to know other person 's taste. And at that point they would rather you would've given a gift card. Seems like your mother doesn't know you very well anon.

>>17551290
>>17551295

Isn’t that the model with a sterling silver case?

>>17551275
that was fast

>>17551318
Yeah. I think it's pretty stupid to make a silver watch case for how easy it tarnishes, but for some reason tarnishing has become trendy with the influx of bronze watches. I hear they leave green marks on your wrist over time

The new Tudor releases are all really solid. Rolex mostly boring but with a few welcome surprises like the GMT Master or baloon OP.
Low point has to be the new Explorer or the new El Daytonero.

>>17551325
They mixed it with aluminium so it holds better.

What will happen to the second hand Daytonas now?

>>17550784
In modern politics you often hear about how women relied upon men to survive and make decisions for the women prior to the suffrage movement and civil rights, but according to the engraving in the pic women were buying their men expensive luxury watches AND getting them engraved prior to women's suffrage. How did that happen?

When the fuvk did the tudor pelagios 39 get priced at 4.5k? Did they raise the price by a grand this year?

>>17551329
It's not going to affect their resale price negatively. Rolex always seems to hold it's value or appreciate in value. When Rolex Submariners introduced ceramic bezels the pre-ceramic ones didn't drop in price at all.

I'm actually kinda sad that the entire Cellini lineup (and name) is gone now. Bought a dual time about 5 years ago as a retirement gift for my old man and it's a really good watch. A bit big for a classic dress watch imo but with big wrists it's fine.
The 1908 looks kinda cheap and Longines-ish to me.

>>17551302
i never got a watch as a gift but i always told my family that i never would want one because i think it's something i would only buy for myself. i like the ritual of looking for models, hunting the one down i want. that being said, my brother in law recently got a pilot IWC from his wife and parents for his birthday and this bitch registered it to her name, even joking that he can't divorce her now without losing the watch.

>>17551363
i like the overall design and the hands, but yellow gold doesn't look good on me, so i pass. a silver/white one would be on top of my list tho, even if i don't really dig rolex.

>>17551363
I think Rolex should stick to sports watches and leave the dress watches to brands like VC, AP, and PP

>>17551302
I've received a few watches as gifts. I actually quite liked a couple of them, but I'm the kind of guy who just wears one watch for years and only change it when I find something new I start getting excited about, which is pretty rare.

>>17551371
>PP
Yeah, I bet you enjoy PP.

fair enough, not sure why you would include AP in that list

I HATE SMOOTH BEZELS

currently got the 5600 with a negative display and want to upgrade to either the 5610u or japanese made 5000
does anyone of you know wether it actually feels that much better to deserve the markup? sure it got a screw back and when im not wearing it that might look nicer but it has the 20atm water resistance either way

>>17551403
This is a bit better, but still.

>>17551163
That man owns a JLC Amvox.

>>17551488
The 5000u-1jf has a slightly softer strap material, and its heavier because of the internal stainless steel case. You can get if for a pice that's lower then its ever been if you are buying especially from Japanese sellers in usd (~$200) while the 5610 is more overpriced then it has ever been before ~$120 when it used to be $75
Some people don't like the increased weight of the 5000 but it does feel like a tank. You will be happy with either one.

Then again in every single picture of him he wears a different watch.

Japanese just copy Swiss, that's why they are hard to distinguish design elements from the 2

>>17551495
will probably get the 5610u then
doubt the 20 grams would bother me if i had the heavier one but since the lighter one is half the price and has the same module either way ill just live with it having a red stripe around the display and put the money saved towards a proper gmt

>>17551507
I like my watches to be like my girls, ugly with weird charm.

>>17551503

The Swiss were doing little more than beating two rocks together all through the sixties, mumbling "unga me too big to fail bunga", then suddenly Seiko struts into the observatory competitions with production movements, cleans house, and the Swiss shriek in horror cancelling the whole chronometer competition completely, before they're completely embarrassed.

Then Japan drops the nuke on Geneva on the Christmas of 1969.

Based and watchmaker's watchmakered.

What exactly is the appeal of the 36mm case watches? Why do some people believe they look better than 38-40mm watches? Is it more of a bracelet forward approach?

>>17551583

It’s called living in the past. They’re just larping. They’ll calll it “vintage” or “comfortable”, but the truth is that there isn’t a single man above 5’9” that looks better with a 36 mm sports watch compared to 38-40 mm.

If you’re a short insectoid with small wrists I guess it could work. But if you’re a normal sized man, it’s too small.

>>17551583
It's called preference.

>>17551583
always better for a watch to look on the small side than too big. a small watch just makes it look like you're wearing a vintage watch and can look good even on some bigger wrists. a watch that's too big always looks like shit. and dress watches should always be small or they look onstentatious
and yeah its nice to see more of the bracelet / stripe sometimes

>>17550979

>>17551364
Lmao what model IWC is it? Honestly that’s hilarious she thinks that would hold anyone down. It’s fucking IWC for starters and second it probably costs under 10k which is most people can pull off with either a bonus or a bit of saving.

If you want reliable, buy a fucking quartz, retard.

>>17551583
Because they do? I'll never understand the big watch meme. 34-36mm for a dress watch. 37mm for a dive watch.

>>17551585
why are you pushing this meme? wrist size does not correlate with height, it correlates with frame. I'm a 6'1 guy with a skinny frame and skinny wrists. a stocky 5'4 guy will have way bigger wrists than me

>>17551503
Bro just get a solar diver. It’ll be infinitely more reliable and you can thrash it through your college years. Focus on your studies and be on time to class.
Also don’t buy direct from seiko. Use Sakura or eBay. You can get almost any seiko for anywhere from 30-60% off MSRP usually.

>>17551601
>solar
Biggest meme ever. Solar only makes sense in combination with radio.

Solar watches use expensive capacitors that need replacing after 15 years, if you can even find one. Regular quartz needs the battery changing once a decade, which will cost you about 20 cents and always be available.

Junghans Max Bill Mega Solar, an anon posted the automatic Version recently, you can find multiple versions.

What's your budget limit?

>>17551611
Nah bro, I've should mention I have over 8 inch wirst, those watches are rather small

>>17551657
oh yeah scratch the Tissot, that's a no brainer. didn't even know Junghans made watches in titanium, that's cool

>>17551657
The lower the better. $500

Rather not do autos

>>17551666
The automatic one was an example about the multiple versions. By the way it doesn't fit the budget unless you find an incredible deal.
Maybe Skagen, Sector or Breil can fit the the bill. I'm sure Breil has a solar powered titanium watch, but I guess it's a matter of searching what's available in your market.

take a look at Junghans. the Max Bill is a classic, but they have other good models too. they have a similar Bauhaus minimalist aesthetic to Nomos, a little more of a vintage domed look on some of their watches. I prefer their designs over most of Nomos desu
there's also Junkers and their sister brand Zeppelin if you want to cheap out more, they offer good value in the 200-500$ range but I think Junghans has nicer designs on average

man, what a cool way to incorporate a moonphase. too bad the price is prohibitive
