Why?
Seriously, why do this "hobby" or whatever, causes so much anger in some people? Can't you, me, or anyone just ignore what we don't like and enjoy what we do like?

>>17562393
I like how the Americaine is an overweight Cintree.

>>17562401
kek I've seen that weirdo multiplie times on IG.
I think it has to do with blacks having almost zero inhibition. She just walks in wherever there are some nice watches and asks to try them on. She basically doesn't give a fuck. People think it's funny to have that over enthusiastic monkey around, so they play along. She's famous now.

>>17562406
There’s only so many ways you can rebrand the Tank after 105 years.

>>17562406
I always thought the Tank Divan would be appropriate as the Tank Americaine.

>>17562425
lmao what a complete disaster this watch is

>>17561645
So since no one gave any serious recommendation I assume the prx is fine and it's just elitists who have issues with it?

>>17562430
You did get serious recs, fag. Get the quartz prx.

>>17562430
Sorry, I didn't see your question.

Good watch that looks like the Tissot PRX with a good movement: the quartz version Tissot PRX.

>>17562425
>Divan
They actually named the watch that way?

>>17562425
Divan is how we call a couch in Ukraine

>>17562435
>>17562438

Yes, that is the actual name of the watch.
I think it was called Divan because of its resemblance to a couch.

They even made a stranger version called the Divan Diagonale

>>17562430
Don't buy a shitty quartz, buy the Powermatic.

>>17562433
I'm not the one who asked initially just interested in the question

/wt/ help i listened to your suggestions but didn't see any timex that fit exactly and i can't remember what the other anon said but I didn't find any I liked from his brand either. I am after:
>Acrylic Crystal *MUST*
>Glossy black dial *Not matte, not sunburst*
>Price below $1K

>>17562425
>>17562446
But those were watches designed for women. And we all know women are dumb as a door knob.

For me? It's the Cloche de Cartier.
I love it because it looks like a boob. And I love boobs.

>>17562425
I like how that looks, honestly. Picrel might be the most beautiful Cartier I've seen.

>>17562456
Oh, they definitely made a men's version. Granted, a men's Cartier is still a women's watch but, hey, that's what they sold it as.

>>17562438
>>17562446
I know what a divan is, that's why it's funny. It's not just any couch but an extra comfy one. There is a funny phrase in our language/dialect "Kva b dava da b na divan spava."

>>17562461

>>17562470
That guy would probably be wearing something a little more like this.

Been gone for a while. I still really really like my 33mm Seiko! What do you think?

>>17562457
I like the way they made the movement on this one.

Lot of Cartier here, goody. What do we think of this one, supposedly from the early nineties?

>>17562486
This one is a must!

>>17562486

>>17562486

Looks a bit bland to me. At least it's not a redial, I suppose.

>>17562483

>>17562480
Millions of arabic speaking people fly every day. If you have this watch you're probably not gonna hijack the plane.

>>17562483
Good looking lil watch

The Crash is still the most fun Cartier watch

>>17562486
>What do we think of this one, supposedly from the early nineties?
That's junk. The Must de Cartier line was made to be a mass appeal line. That's why it doesn't have the classic all-caps "CARTIER" on the dial. This was around the time that Armani was successfully creating sales the lower end Emporio Armani and Armani Exchange lines

Those watches were vermeil, meaning silver with gold plating. Most Cartier fans don't take them seriously and look at that whole era as a pretty low point for the company.

>>17562430
Just get the quartz version, its thinner and looks better. Or if you want an auto then this san martin oysterquartz homage is pretty nice

Quartz is nicer to me than mechanical. I'm probably the only guy here that thinks that lol

Quartz rules, cheap quartz fucking blows but well made high accuracy quartz watches are ace

>>17562520
Casio quartz is cheap and also accurate.

>>17562454

>>17562524
Casio makes a lot of quartz movements, some are much better than others

>>17562518
Quartz is way nicer, but the finishing on quartz is junk.

>you notice his dive watch

>>17562454
Why must there be an acrylic crystal?

>>17562454
The best glossy black dial is urushi desu, you could even find one for under 1k, but nobody makes those with an acrylic crystal. You could buy/make a custom acrylic crystal for it and swap it.

>she notices you're wearing a quartz watch

>>17562467
What language is that?

>>17562578
Does anyone remember that Teddy video where all the instagram models didn't know anything about watches (except that ROLEX was EXPENSIVE)?

>>17562579
A Slovenian dialect. In literary Slovenian it would be "Kaj bi dala da bi lahko na divanu spala." and it means a woman saying "Oh, the things i'd give to be able to sleep on a divan".

>>17562578
She’s knows all my money went straight to dick extension surgery

>>17562454
sounds like there should be a lot of vintage watches like this

>>17562121
Looks like shit and is probably over $1k lmfao.

>>17562454
there is probably some vintage soviet watch that fits your criteria. can't tell if the dial on this one is glossy or matte, but they all have acrylic crystals
and you can get one in good condition under 100$ easily, sometimes under 50$

Not like this, Gran Seiko Sisters, not like this... :'(

any watches that look similar to this for a poorfag like me?

>>17562430
I tried it on in a store and it felt extremely cheap. The bracelet felt light and flimsy almost like a metal casio bracelet, the edges felt sharp and unfinished, it felt uncomfortable on my wrist. They were asking around $800 CAD for it and I thought it was ridiculous. I've also heard some negative things about the powermatic movement being unreliable and using shitty plastic parts.

If you love how it looks and determined to own one I would recommend the quartz version. It's half the price.

I'll add them, but Piaget anon IS JLC anon, isn't he?

>>17562781
No, but there was an older anon who was called JLC Anon. He also had a Planet Ocean and a Piaget. New JLC Anon has no Piaget as far as I know and Piaget Anon has only posted his Altiplano as far as I know.

>>17562648
If you're sticky enough to care then you're sticky enough that you don't matter

>>17562784
Oh, I remember that now.

The last JLC Anon left. He declared he was done and left. He had an old SMPO, a Polaris, and a gold Piaget.

Does new JLC Anon post that often? He's either never around or prefers to be anonymous, but he has a Reverso, a Polaris, and then some JLC I have no idea what it is but the dial is full of hands and subdials.

Reverso anon also has a Reverso, but it's a shitty quartz one.

Someone correct me if I'm missing something, I'm going off memory.

what are the top 3 reason why i shouldn’t buy a reverso?

>>17562793
it's ugly
it's expensive
it has a silly name

>>17562793
>what are the top 3 reason why i shouldn’t buy a reverso?

- It is expensive to buy and service
- The movement is primitive for what it costs
- No lume, no date, hand-winding, etc
- It's seen as a dainty dress watch
- If you're not buying a complicated JLC, you're just buying the name
- Rectangular watches may be uncomfortable for some wearers

There's 6 reasons, but if you can live with the first 5, the 6th is the only one that would give me pause. I've owned a couple Tanks and Reversos and I've decided I just don't like the way they sit on my wrist.

Where do we stand on wearing your watch on the inside of your wrist?

>>17562816
Only numales looking for attention do that.

>>17562816

The only time it makes sense is if you are in the military and you have your rifle drawn so you can glance at it without repositioning your wrist.

are way overthinking it, probably the same turbo-spergs who pretend to be angry at the thought of a person who doesn't have a SCUBA certification wearing a dive watch because they think it makes them sound like the cool horology nerds on hodinkee

>>17562822
>>17562820
When I googled it the google highlights seem to think that military people do it when they are not in uniform to signify that they are military? I've never heard of that before and it sounds really retarded. Everyone knows a guy in the military that's not in uniform will tell you he is or was in the military, they don't need a watch to vaguely imply it.

Also, the first time I saw this style was when I was a child watching reruns of Gilligan's Island. I guess Gilligan was a military man? What branch? Army sounds right.

>>17562845
My git tells me that watch was all fucked up.

>>17562837
>are way overthinking it
I didn't just make that up out of thin air. I was in the army cadets as a teen and our company commander wore his watch in that way and when I asked him about it he told me that was the reason behind doing it. It is so when you have your rifle drawn like pic-related you can glance down at your wrist to tell the time without moving your hands. I think it's stupid to wear your watch like that in civilian life but I guess you got a point that if you're doing something where you're worried about scratching the crystal it would make sense.

>>17562853
There are a couple episodes where he's running through the jungle looking for something and he'll stop and look at his watch on the inside of his wrist, so in canon it apparently still works.

YOLO senpai fr fr

According to wristwatchpro.com, you're not a real Delta operator unless you turn your watch around.

>>17562908
What is the most operator watch? In /k/ watch threads almost everyone who has something other than a Casio has a really simple dial Oris or Omega.

I like the idea of a GMT that doesn't have the bulky 24 hour bezel but I'm afraid I'd be too much of a brainlet to read it correctly without numerals.

What makes the Seiko 5 in blue dial "better" than picrel ?
iam about to buy this brand new now...
unless i can find a vintage real good looking different one on ebay...which i don't so often

>>17562996
If you love cock in your ass I guess it's "better."

>>17562996
I'm no expert on Japanese watches but my understanding is that the Seiko group owns Orient and operates it as it's more affordable alternative watch brand. So they are pretty similar watches in a lot of ways. I think Orient even uses Seiko movements, but I'm sure someone here would know more.

I've never owned either Seiko or Orient so I can't speak from experience but I know both get recommended a lot for first time buyers looking for a good affordable watch. Although Seiko watches have been climbing in price in recent years so they aren't really as entry-level affordable as they used to be. Orient has sort of taken that market share from Seiko.

I would say either would be fine choices for you.

>>17562998
why would you say that man...
i just like the dial, the classy day date
and especially those squares on the dial which makes it look
like the 80s. i see old orient or ricoh watches on ebay aswell which look good
but i just thought that this one brand new for 100 bucks would do it.

>>17562813
>Chronograph, moon phase, day date, month
This is like exactly what I want in a watch

>>17563003
it would be my 2nd orient. my first is the bambino small seconds bc i like the vintage gold dials
and the ones from my dads collection;zenith doxa, omega etc. are too small for my taste, 34mm and so on
so i bought the bambino ss. and it's time off is around 10 sec every 2nd day. which is pretty good i guess.
so that's why i wanted to stick with orient and to my surprise they have lots of nice looking punchy, contrasty, 80s style alike
dials.

Another option would be picrel, used of ebay for 80€
but my concern is that the day date is not really centric
but i like the look of this ricoh

>>17563008
They are cool watches. I just wish they offered them in regular yellow gold instead of rose gold (I hate the look of rose gold personally). But the stainless steel version in that picture looks pretty good. They retail for around 15k in steel which sounds high but it's a column wheel chronograph movement which costs more to manufacture, and JLC does everything in-house.

There was this anon, who specializes in brand descriptions by its nature. He nailed the f.c problem and shtick of doing whatever and being a meme mall watch, which a salesgirl forced upon normies as a "sophisticated choice, not like those ordinary hamiltons and tissots."

>>17563074
>>>He's not enthralled by the swiss history of timekeeping engineering
Imagine giving a fuck about history. Yes, the swiss kike monopoly was impressive. It stopped being impressive 50 years ago when a 2 dollar gumball movement destroyed centuries of "innovation".

>>17563140
>2 dollar gumball movement destroyed centuries of "innovation".
Except that it didn't. Swiss brands are making more money now than ever and keep pouring millions into R&D. Big players are opening new factories all over Switzerland. Dozens of micro brands are launching every year. There are even waiting lists for watches now.
>b-b-but muh quartz is cheaper and more accurate
Who cares? You're missing the point, retard. People want mechanical watches because they are interesting to look at and fun to discuss. They help us forget about existential dread and our inevitable death, something quartz shitters can't do.

>>17563140
I like the craftsmanship/jewelery shtick of swiss, but you cant debunk this.
Function wise, 20 bucks casio mogs the fuck out of any rolex. But hey, thats the point of luxury things, they arent about pure function

>>17563149
The only thing that saved the swiss watchmaking industry was pivoting into an ultra luxury image. They convinced millionaires that they could only be real millionaires by buying a swiss watch every time something good happened in their life. They had to make the jump from making tools to making jewelry.

>>17563149
>People want mechanical watches because they are interesting to look at and fun to discuss.
No, you want them because swiss kikes spend a hell of a lot of money on ads.

Consuming product and then getting ready to consume more product isn't really staving off existential dread, it's just lining someone else's bankbooks with the profit of your labor. You're a mark, and you don't even see it.

If you want to buy a watch because you like how it looks, then fine. Personally I wouldn't spend more than 100 bucks on a watch because there are severe diminishing returns past that point, but if it makes you happy, go nuts. Trying to rationalise it to yourself with this gibberish is just sad.

>>17563154
Nobody has ever tried to dispute that. You're still missing the point. Watches aren't tools anymore. They are jewelry. Yeah, a scooby doo quartz watch keeps better time than a Rolex, but the people buying rolexes aren't interested in scooby doo watches.

Or do you know a different rolex with a rather simple design i should get? i dont like the ones with the cyclops lens

>>17562956

Is a watch like this sold today? Preferably at a budget friendly cost.

>>17563193
I can't imagine a more meaningless choice - The barebones watch, or the exact identical barebones watch 1mm smaller.

>>17562430
Honestly if you love the look of the PRX and think about getting a quartz, just get an Accurist Origin 70019. It has a sapphire crystal, alright quality control and you even get some heritage with that.

They are doing a rerun of their older models in the Origin collection like in picrel.
Obviously not their own design but they always positioned themselves as an affordable watch maker.
like >>17562754 said, the PRX itself isn't that high quality either

>>17563193
Get the 40mm. It's better in every way compared to the 39mm (layout of the dial, movement, BRACELET)

>>17563238
That bracelet uses solid links, though.

Honestly, I don't see an issue with hollow links. They require some reshaping after a few decades if you wear them too tight, that's about it. The problem is that casio straps are just awful, really low quality with dogshit tolerances. I've got 40 year old Seiko folded links that are fine, they pull hair a bit more than solid ones, that's about it.

Your internet reddit watch autist will basedface at your Snowflake but no woman will understand whats so speacial about a smooth second hand.

A Rolex on the other hand instantly signals to the normie that you are a successful person with good taste.

You can just wear an apple watch and get the same response from women for a fraction of the price.

>>17563270
Its obvious you never talk to any woman other than your mom.
So many normies are running around with apple watches. But Rolex still has this mystique around it. No woman will be impressed by a 300 dollar apple watch. But they will wet their pants at a 50k Rolex (Thats how much they think Rolex costs)

>>17563249
>A Rolex on the other hand instantly signals to the normie that you are a successful person with good taste
lmao, maybe in your nuveau riche middle eastern head it does
in normal societies it communicates "this guy is a show-off with loud and basic tastes... and if this is fake then that's just pathetic". or people just don't notice it
a rolex is perceived as the designer logo t-shirt of watches. something a "medium income but thinks he's hot shit" guy with no taste wears to "flex" on others and literally no one is impressed, or if they say they are it's out of courtesy because you can't shut up about the one expensive object you own

if you genuinely like rolex watches and can put up with the horrible buying experience, go ahead. but know that if you try "flexing" with it, people will laugh at you behind your back. they probably already do if you're as obnoxious about it IRL as you are online

>>17563230
Rolexes are fine, I was just talking about sweating over choosing between getting a watch in the 39mm version or the 40mm version. Would anyone on earth ever be able to tell the difference? Who is going to pat you on the back over literally a millimeter?

truly adds a sense of mystery. I'm sure they'll also wonder how you can afford this with your mid tier job... surely you wouldn't save up for a watch for months? that would be just silly.

>>17563284
I don't know anyone broke that owns a Rolex, so they can't be too bad with their money.

bling bling

OMG I'M GONNA BLOOOOOONG

>>17563277
>in normal societies it communicates "this guy is a show-off with loud and basic tastes...
What's "normal" to you.

50th percentile and/or median income in America are still pretty poor, but they're not in the market for luxury goods of any stripe.

If you mean "normal" more in line with white, educated Americans, a Rolex is not flexing, it's just a choice, one of many. A gold Hublot is flexing. A Rolex mostly means that the buyer wants quality but didn't want to think too hard about his choice.

>>17563250
There are also some that are at 1:50. They are the two main official watch photo positions, called WPN (watch photo north) and WPS (watch photo south).

>>17563313
There are also rules for chrono subdial positions and perpetual calendars and whatnot, but those are secret.

Bros, help me decide on a daily driver diver. I want to get either mido, certina or edox. Wanted to get long jeans hydroconquest, but the two tone versions are a bit too expensive for this purchase.

>>17563309
>a Rolex is not flexing, it's just a choice,
It's thousands of dollars spent on a wrist ornament.

>>17563317

>>17563320
Mido and Edox are both 15mm thick junk. Just get the single tone hydro?

>>17563305
But adding diamonds to a watch ruins the value because.... It just does, okay?

>>17563309
idk maybe it's different in the US, but here in Europe people have told me that a Rolex is associeted with gaudy flexing and definitely not a high-class thing to wear
all the rich old money guys I know just either wear their dad's / grandpa's watch (one has his dad's Omega, another a pre-war Atlantic I think?), an apple watch or no watch at all

>>17563322
Are your wife's wedding and engagement rings "just an ornament?" If you're that kind of nihilist psychopath that holds no sentimental or emotional value in anything, then, sure, maybe.

>>17563333
What if your dad's watch is a Rolex?

>>17563332
>there's no difference between factory set diamonds and literally mumbai special tier blinging out a watch with """diamonds""" the size of your brain that cost less than the metal that gets drilled out to set them

>>17562388
What do you lads think of Seiko Marine Masters?

Who buys this?

>>17563339
Seiko = reddit

>>17563326
Thick isnt a problem desu, I kinda like chonk beyond 13mm. But yeah, maybe I'll consider single tone, despite it being boring

>>17563338
Literally, what id the difference? Why does it make a difference who drills the holes?

>>17563346
Which watch is /wt/?

>>17563358
Well it must be Rolex, right? Imagine the seething if it wasn't.

>>17563362
It would have to be, I only own Rolexes. Even my beater is a Rolex. Why would anyone ever buy anything else?

>>17563149
>They help us forget about existential dread and our inevitable death, something quartz shitters can't do.
Get fucked quartz is neat too.

>>17563358
Rolex 100%

Anything that needs actual research is autistic reddit tier shit. Imagine going to a watch forum or reddit and learning about watches from other autists.
Imagine getting jewelry advice from people who look like picrel

Anything but a Rolex or the watch your grandpa gave you makes you look like a STEMcel with too much time on their hands

>>17563387
forgot picrel

>>17563095
It was on the nightstand

>>17563387
Shouldn't you do research on which rolex you want?

>>17563398
The only reasearch you need is to look at the models at your Rolex boutique and decide which one you like the most aesthetically.

Going to watchuseek or reddit and researching the movement or whatever is autistic.

>>17563403
So you don't even think about the functions of the watch? You literally only go off of looks? What if there's a Rolex out there that you'd like that the boutique doesn't have in stock?

>>17563403
>>17563408
Holy shit, what percentage of GMT owners have no fucking idea how to use the GMT functions and just picked it because they like the pretty colors?

>>17563408
what functions? everything you need is in your phone. Your Rolex wont even tell accurate time. It's simply a piece of jewelry.
Dont fall into the reddit trap trying to justify your watch by it being a diver (you will never dive with it) or a chronograph or whatever,

If your boutique doesn't have the model you want you ask them to order it. Most likely you will be put on a wait list.

also its reddit behavior to even listen to what I say. Even engaging with me is reddit. Buy the watch you want

>>17563413
A lot, I know my dad has no idea what the GMT was about until I explained it to him.

>>17563418
>Buy the watch you want

based

Guys I just got gifted a quartz and I love how light it feels on my wrist
Guess I need a titanium mechanical

>>17563418
Wanting to buy a watch with stuff you will use, and then using them, is not reddit. It's fucking common sense.

>>17563421
He never noticed his watch has an extra hand moving mysteriously slowly around the dial, or why there are numbers 2 to 22 around the bezel? Or why the shit turns? How long did he have that watch without questioning these things?

>>17563454
About 5 years, and I think he noticed these things, especially the other hand, he just literally didn't care to think about them.

>>17563422
Why aren't Islander watches on the retard and the sith side? Some of them literally have swiss movements.

>>17563339
They are cool

>>17563343
Same people who buy any watch between £500-£5000, idiots.

I haven't been into watches especially long but I'm already kind of getting bored of it because everyone only wants to talk about or recommend the same like 15 watches all the time and act like you're retarded for buying one of the hundreds of other ones.

>>17563457
Stop shilling your shitty brand here, faggot

>>17563475
It's not shitty. Why is it shitty? People can have nice automatic watches for not a lot of money. It's a good cause.

>>17563467
Most people are NPC's that only parrot their favourite e-celebs. To find other quality watches and brands you need to do your own research. My dad for example collects unique vintage watches and has introduced me to a lot of brands I wasn't aware of. The next time I visit him I'll share some pictures in one of these threads.

Delugs came thru - just waiting on smooth black.

>>17563454
don't overestimate the masses, they go through life with their eyes closed and it's blissful

>>17563467

>>17563279
I will pat you on the cock

>>17563457
That logo lmfao. And this looks like random shit produced by Chinese fake factories from parts from other watches.

>>17563478
No need for pics. Just tell us. How much do they cost?

>>17563057
i like the stopping second jumping minute thing this watch does, it's pretty neat. sadly i've read that they have some quality control issues but maybe they've been worked out

>>17563495
This is exactly why I love islander. I get a good watch, they cope and seethe over spending so much more on the same jewelry.

>>17563518
>How much do they cost?
Depends on the watch obviously. It ranges from cheap Soviet ones to more expensive brands. His current favourite dress watch is a Cuervo y Sobrinos in Art Deco style which he bought for around 8K.

>>17563517
The logo is based. Keep coping.

>>17563467
I mean, realistically there are only so many options and 15 doesn't sound unrealistic. If you went to a rotary club and asked them for recommendations for modern 4 door sedans under $50k, you would probably keep hearing the same recommendations over and over. There are only so many that exist that are worth your money.

>>17563513

>>17563542
>fucking with your water tightness just to prove some fag wrong

>>17563546
Was to prove myself when I bought it second hand, been scammed before on a Santos - needs a service anyway.

>>17563542
bro not the guy you replied to but some guy on 4chan made you so insecure you opened up your watch and made pictures of it like a faggot to proove what exactly?

batgirl or batman?

personally i like the BLNR better than the BLRO in general

>>17563555
Batman, definitely.

>>17563553
see >>17563551

Pic related is the fake one I bought a while back - there's a mega-scam on eBay at the minute for fake Cartiers from like 8 different eBay accounts.

>>17563564
What's the difference?

>>17563568
Biggest tell is the balance bridge, fake is a miyota 9015 - but there are others like the jewel in the centre of the three rotor screws.

>>17563564
So you made a picture when you bought it? The picture you showed us isn't from today?

Also you could just ignore us bro. We don't know your name or your face. No point in even arguing with us. Why do you feel the need to defend yourself?

>>17563535
>I mean, realistically there are only so many options and 15 doesn't sound unrealistic.
Realistically you're a daft brand chasing cunt.

>>17563555
You have the wrong bracelet on there, Batman goes on a jubilee.

>>17563573
>So you made a picture when you bought it? The picture you showed us isn't from today?
Yeah, I took loads.

..and I'm not arguing haha, there's nothing to argue about; the guy (or you) have called both of the Santos' I've owned fakes in 5+ other threads before - thought it would be funny to clap back with a reciept for once.

>>17563573
Not him, but I like to make you seeyhe by showing you I buy shit you only dream about.

>>17563230
Ultimate blackpill is that Bateman didn't wear that reference Datejust in the movie, in fact he didn't wear a Datejust at all. It was a Seiko 5.

>>17563573
>"HUUUUR UR WATCH IS FAKE HURRRR"
>shows pictures demonstrating that it's actually not fake and you're retarded
>"WOAH WOAH WOAH WHY ARE YOU SO DEFENSIVE BRO!?!?!"
This bullshit is why I never post pictures of my shit on this fucking website. You're an asshole before you post the pics because you're a nobody with no experience in the subject that doesn't know what you're talking about, and when you post proof that you do you're the asshole for shitting on the fucktards. May as well just not bother at all and give the feds less data to incriminate yourself with.

>>17562578
When she gets that chipped tooth fixed, I might give a shit.

>>17563573
Take my speedy receipt as well while we're at it.

>>17563584
Was American Psycho a big budget movie? You'd think they could rent a Rolex for the movie.

>>17563543
Santos medium case is curved so it sits nice, it's not like a tank XL where it looks like a platform on your wrist.

Pop to an AD and try one on - the silver dial pops more in person as-well.

>>17563573
nta but you got blown the fuck out bro. i bet you don't even own a single decent watch.

>>17563604
But all of their customers are horror film characters.

>>17563593
Nah, it had a budget of $7mil, and premiered at Sundance.

Getting the whole movie off the ground was a whole ordeal, the novel was initially considered unfilmable due to its violent nature, and when funding was secured, pre-production was a mess. Marry Harron wanted Bale, while Lionsgate wanted Leo DiCaprio, so Harron was fired, replaced with Oliver Stone, then Harron was rehired and finally got to cast Bale.

>>17563591
Nice Poljot 3133.

I'm an engineer, not a rich one however, about 10 years into my career.

I bought my first luxury watch about 3 years ago and never had more than 2, indeciciveness has been killer but never lost money since I've found them at good prices - but I think I've settled now.

>>17563613
more than 2 at one time*

>>17563542
I am sorry for claiming that your watch was fake. But don't real Cartier's have the Cartier text on 7?

>>17563616
I dunno, do they? You're the fucking expert, aren't you?

>>17563616
It's there :) it's hard to see on real ones from a distance.

Pic related is of the fake I got scammed with (as talked about above) since it's on my computer - laughable how they thought they could get away with it.

>>17563620
Do you dare me to get the loupe out and take a picture of my real 7, that'll hit a home run.

imagine being so completely and absolutely destitute that you cannot fathom the idea of an average anon owning a speedmaster or cartier, holy shit

we're reaching levels of poverty on /wt/ that were never thought possible

>>17563635
I'm kinda glad of it desu - I've always thought that since /wt/ is unmoderated unlike reddit & other forums, it would just divulge into people posting reps without getting called out, and it hasn't.

$400 Swiss watch

>second hand doesn't align
>minute hand doesn't align even with the 30 second method
>press on caseback
>cheap rattly bracelet
>disposable gasket

It looks great but $100 Aliexpress watches have better quality control than this piece of shit.

If you ask me Hitler put the wrong people into gas chambers. The Swiss clearly outjew the jew in every way

>I think Orient even uses Seiko movements, but I'm sure someone here would know more.
Orient uses their own inhouse movements, they mught occasionally use seiko quartz movements but all the mechanicals are their nown designs.

>>17563629
Why don't you post it already? I want to see how it looks. I am the anon that originally called you out and am looking to buy the new Tank myself after a recent bonus. Thanks.

A friend of mine (non-watch guy) asked me whether he should pull the trigger on a terrible chink fake $100 Hulk. I'm talking him out of it right now, as fakes are embarrassing, but I'm thinking whether I should set him up with a Pagani Design Hulk? Or a more tasteful Kermit, or Batman GMT?

Anyone have these 100m, open caseback Pagani Subs? It should have a Seiko NH35, some people say they might be a clone movement, but I think they're paranoid, chink Seiko clones AFAIK are not even close to the real thing.

How do they look IRL? I've seen their Batman GMT irl before, and it looked good, but that's not sunburst green.

>>17563668
does he have the money for a san martin?

>>17563668
If you hang out long enough on /wt/, there's a rep austist/expert on chinese fakes around here that can tell you which fakes to get.

>>17563678
I don't think so.

>>17563683
As I said fakes are fucking embarrassing.
As for movements, I'm a watchmaker, I can spot a fake movement if I see it for real, but photos on an online store don't mean shit. I just want to know whether there's any merit to the NH35 clone rumors.

>>17563656
Here you go man, real is left fake is right.

Biggest tells will be kerning and serifs (or lack thereof on fakes).

>>17563693
Left is fake.

>>17563656
I'm not sure also, but if you're looking into buying a tank quartz, on the real ones the minute hand visibly ticks every 20 seconds - I think that's an easy tell.

You can see it here: https://youtu.be/LXpjjIDz1BM?t=77

I dunno man the fake I got scammed with was pretty convincing in terms of feel and look to the naked eye.

Only reason suspicions started was because I've owned one before and the bracelet actually fit me perfectly, whereas it doesn't with the real one. That and the poor finishing on the edge of the bracelet.

Thats when i got the loupe out and cracked the back off.

>>17563688
why don't you gift one of your watches ro your friend?

I have one of these actually, for the office. It's decent for the money, more akin to the old Seiko 5 than the newer ones. No hacking, no handwiding. I quite like it, since it's cheap, small and has a good styling.
