I wish I could see Mortadello's dick it must be so fat and juicy.

Fuck you I want that watch. No one compliments my explorer

>>17563789
WHY DID MY DICK GET DELETED?

>We're sorry, sir, but we're no longer taking waitlist applications for the Overseas Model (all references).
>b-but... even if it takes 10 years I'll wait!
>Sorry sir, no. We won't put your name down at all.

posting this again, any watches similar to this for under 5k?

>>17563794
I unironically want pic related.

>>17563797
pretty sure there's an orient that looks like this

>>17563796
>date window at 4:30 like every chronograph shitter ever made
This is why I can't take VC seriously.

Rolex fans will own a $3500 oyster perpetual and then call a $10k Omega a "cope" and say you wish it was a Rolex

>>17563795
>Circumcised
LMAO'ing at your life

>>17563797
>I just watched sopranos, the watch

What was your first "serious" watch.
For me it was this ugly piece of shit Bell & Ross lmao
I was really into it for some reasons, so I bought one after months of saving. I sold a few months later.

>>17563795
>circumcised
>pale as milk
>ginger
size is nice tho, verdict: moonswatch of dicks.

>>17563799
checked! is this the dick bruna edition?

>>17563814
Looks kinda cool tbqhwyf.

>>17563799
>>17563795

>>17563797
why would anyone want to war a fucking rolex with stones, in gold and then a ketchup red clockface? is this some kind of "let's see how dumb the paypigs really are" kind of release? the only thing missing is the yellow mcdonalds logo.

>>17563822
yeah, at least it's a more or less original design. have it a non-desert colour, something like green, yellow or blue and it would be a fun casual watch.

>>17563834
"I NEED"
"I NEED TO TELL EVERYONE"
"I NEEED TO TELL EVERYONE I GOT A ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX"
"NIGGA LOOK AT THIS FINE TIME PIECE IT'S A ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX"
"GOT DAT BLING BLING GOT DAT STYLE POW YOU KNOW IT YEAH HOW I AM ROLLIN WITH MY ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX"


Basically it's the negro fantasy piece. You see this with other fashion brands where most of their things will be relatively understated and then they'll have some loud blingy versions for pigmented tastes

>>17563814
Mine was a TAG Carrera, I've still got it today but I'm playing with the idea of selling it. No clue what I'd replace it with mind.

>>17563862
Where did you get that boktok with the pattern? Link? Is there a normal sized version?

>>17563814
damn kinda like that. wouldnt spend 2k on it but for 500 Id buy one

>>17563757

Sadly not. There are San Martin homages but they lack the rose gold elements.
Honestly if you like the PRX that much just get it used. Its a great watch

>>17563814
I had a swatch in grade school but pic-related was my first "serious" watch that I bought for myself. $300 seemed absurd to me when I was a teenager. It was the same price as an Xbox and that seemed insane to me lol

I thought it was cool that it said "Japanese movement" on the back of the case, as if that made it special. Little did I know it was a quartz movement that probably cost only a few bucks to manufacture.

how do you guys feel about pic related? im trying to get into watches and i think this would be a good first purchase for a budget of under 500

gay dickloving poorfag here.
which one would you pick if you were a dickloving poorfag like me ?

add max bill anon to the non-luxury category

>>17563862
based vostok. looks great on that strap
>>17563866
it says "made in ussr". I highly doubt vostok still makes these, much less in a larger version. the site I usually use as a reference has this with different hands btw, maybe they're aftermarket. not like it really matters

How do you pick one watch when there are so many styles? I don't want to be a numale consumer with a "watch collection" next to his funkopops

>>17563925
Why even make a list of anons who own watches? That's fucking weird. I don't want to be on a list.

>>17563945
this

This thread needs Rolex

>>17563949
Post yours.

Hello,
Which colour strap looks better on my Cassio MDV-106?

Silver

>>17563929
So there's nothing with a dial like that anymore?

>>17563954
Or this one

black

Any alternatives to a Cartier Tank?

I like the tank look but just need slightly more casual

>>17563955
not that I know of. there were more soviet watches with those kinds of folk-inspired pressed dial patterns though back in the day, so if you're ok with vintage and 36mm it shouldn't be too hard to find something similar online

>>17563954
>>17563956
I don't really like either because the gaps between the lugs and the bracelet, but silver looks much better between the 2 IMO

>>17563961
>I like the tank look but just need slightly more casual
Santos? Reverso?

>>17563963
Thanks
Will wear the silver one

>>17563961
Seiko Recraft

>>17563920
\what is the watch on the left?

>>17563975
both are ricoh automatics
the one on the right, i asked the seller if it's from india, he first replied that i should not worry, it's not
now he said he cant guarantee where they come from unfortunately
he's from the uk and has only this watch + a collection of old cheap ones selling in bulk for cheap
what can i ask him to make sure it's not an indian crap ?

>>17563989
Stop being fucking poor and if you want a cheap crap Indian watch just buy a few and see which one is good? Are you seriously negotiating with fucking Ramakrishnabrahmaputra on ebay over like $50 fix your life motherfucker.

>>17563993
who said i want a indian fake ??
unfortunately these indians use brand dials and sell them as genuine

>>17563996
>who said i want a indian fake ??
You by posting them for like a month now? They're all Indian shit retard. Do you not have fucking eyes.

>>17563919
I think most Orient watches look shit, can't quite put my finger on why but an equivalent price Citizen or Seiko almost always looks better. 500 gets you a quartz PRX which would be my choice.

>>17563919
eh if you want a dressy japanese watch for 500$ I'd just get a cocktail time

>>17563925

thinking of getting one of these bad boys

>>17564009

>>17563997
why does it bother you when anon wants to buy a cheaper watch ?
does it anger you bc you yourself are a poorfag ?

I took a pic in the dark, maybe I was shaky. SNKL43

I've tried dozens of watches these past few months from the most reknown and appreciated watchmakers. JLC, GS, Breitling, Omega, Cartier, IWC, Zenith... I've even tried some Vacheron, Breguet, Parmigiani and H. Moser.
The ONLY watches that really do something for me are 36mm Rolex. I just like how compact and sturdy they feel.

Honourable mentions:
>Cartier Santos
>Grand Seiko SBGW
>JLC Reverso
>Parmigiani Tonda PF

I fucking hate the rat Jew company that is Seiko.
Their shitty pin and collar system has so many design flaws.
Apparently if either the pin or the tube is even slightly crooked the whole thing doesn't work anymore and keeps falling out.

Called Seiko to ship me a few of them and said I would pay shipping costs. They told me they could ship a collar and pin system for $5,95 each plus shipping. Politely told her to go fuck herself.

Tried finding those pins and collars from third party sellers and they charge the same prices.

Never going to buy anything from that reddit ass company again

>>17564050

Those little things. Makes me understand why we nuked that shitty country twice

>>17564052
This shit isn't exclusive to seiko at all.

>>17564060
No, but Seiko charges 6 dollars for one of these as if it was pure gold and not some cheap nippon steel

Str>>17563789
Strap + watch combo yes or no?

>>17564068
No. Get either leather or steel.

>>17564067
Don't look up how much other watchmakers charge for small parts then. Omega will happily charge you $50+ for a hollow, folded endlink.

>>17563954
i want to lick your hands

>>17564050
Should've bought a proper bracelet, idiot.

Seiko used to use the far superior split pin system, which has literally never failed on anyone ever, but too many retards complained about it and how you could fix a pin in half a second with a pair of pliers, or buy a pack of a thousand for a dollar. So now you get the shitty collar junk.

>>17563953
I wait for the call

>>17564071
Well yes its Omega. It's a luxury brand with luxury prices.
Seiko is a shitty no name brand that produces cheaply made watches for autistic children.
If this watch wasn't a gift and hadn't any sentimental value I'd already sold that to some redditor already.

>>17564087
What did you ask for?

>>17564095
Explorer 1

>>17564082
Thank you yes. I have a few watches with split pin system and wondered why Seiko didn't have those. But now it makes sense that those Nips fucked up a good system to jew out more Yen out of baka goyjin.

>>17564098
>Explorer 1
objectively their best watch

>>17564090
Read what I said carefully. Hollow, folded endlink. The kind of endlink you find on the cheapest of watches.

>>17564098
Nice. The wait isn't that long for the Explorer, you should get it in no time.
I have one as well as a Sub. I'm thinking of selling the Sub and get a green dial Datejust.

>>17564082
Not the guy you replied to, I don't even have a Seiko but couldn't he just replace his pins with split end pins or is there some mechanism that prevents that?

>>17564042
>compact
ok wristlet

>>17564050
strapcode.com makes excellent bracelets that are designed specifically for Seiko

the first thing most people do when they buy a Seiko is upgrade the bracelet, the complaints about the bracelet and clasps are common.

very surprised that the gw5000 isn't more highly recommended here as it has
>le japan appeal
>le efficient meme
>slightly more niche and obscure than all the other g shock models
>cheap as chimps
Also vintage seiko like grand quartz, bell-matic, vintage grand seiko, king seiko etc
All stellar watches found cheap that look great and run fantastically, I guess 4chan has really changed and just wants to meme about mainstream shid now

>>17564090
Seiko, the shitty no name brand, almost killed your beloved luxury omegay
While it failed to kill some swissrats, they at least fully managed to rustle their jimmies

>>17564109
Those crappy little sleeves form part of the pin mechanism. Without them, there's just a massive gap the pin can't fill. And if you use a split pin, there's nothing acting on the sleeve because of the way they apply friction. At best, you're going to end up with really loose links that scratch each other with way too much play.

>>17564117
It's a massive hunk of shit that looks stupid if your wrists aren't tree trunks. It's a shame Casio, and everyone else for that matter, haven't worked out how to make watches small.

Vintage seiko is good though. My 40 year old quartz loses 20 seconds a year.

>>17564128
>massive hunk of shit
it's literally made for japanese with tiny wrists, you would be surprised as to how well it wears and this is coming from someone with a tiny wrist who only wears 35-36mm watches

>>17564128
>Without them, there's just a massive gap the pin can't fill

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation

>>17564103
A 100k old ass sub has hollow endlinks, what's your point

>>17564131
I have one, it's far too big. The strap bulges out due to atrocious design for muh ultimate drop resistance, the plastic junk makes the watch practically 14mm thick, and on most models you can barely see the screen because of the retarded decision to put an air barrier between the LCD and the front glass, making it reflection city.

The square is a watch that should be near perfect on paper, but is actually unwearable if you aren't a fat cunt with 8 inch wrists.

>>17564142
you have the gw5000? the japanese domestic market model? I feel like you don't and you're just chatting shit

>>17564102
>objectively their best watch
Agree
>>17564104
Nice explorer anon. I like the Sub but i prefer Datejust, 36mm of course

will rolex release a 38mm sub (no date) with a retro "two liner" for the 70th anniversary? judging by how well received and viral the tudor bb54 went, its only a matter of time that we see a smaller sub

>>17564146
I have a GWX-5600C, a JP only model that has been inverted because the stock screen is unreadable, and it has a titanium case and bracelet because the stock rubber shit falls apart and is junk. The bracelet has been modified to increase the bend on my manlet wrists, and it's still not good enough because the thing has a fucking 50mm lug to lug.

It's a crap watch.

>>17564153
nice bro you're talking about a completely different watch with completely different dimensions, material, led, screen etc and still giving your opinion
nice!

>>17564068
Doesn't quite look right given how old the watch looks. A metal bracelet, or leather would look more appropriate.

>>17564104
…… I’ve been waiting 8 months for an Explorer 36mm and over a year for a DJ 36mm. 3 years or so waiting for a no date Sub and a year for a Explorer 2 black dial and Sea Dweller 50th.

>>17564156
>nice bro you're talking about a completely different watch with completely different dimensions,
Oh no, you're a fucking retard. All squares are the same size, technically my 5600 is 0.1mm thinner than the 5000, but that doesn't really mean anything. Material? Doesn't matter, makes no impact on how the watch performs. Led? I never mentioned the light, I didn't have any problems with it anyway. Screen? I don't know if the new 5000 uses the newer shit they were rolling out on the bluetooth models or not, but it doesn't make a difference to most of my complaints anyway, which are primarily about the size of the watch. It's too fucking big.

>>17564165
all I got from this is that you're a genetic freak with 4 inch wrists (i'm 5'7 and it doesn't look oversized on me whatsoever despite being 44mm on paper) and you're a literal retard who just bought a watch they hate and has insane buyer's remorse because you bought something you knew you would hate but bought it anyway

the gw5000 has a normal screen, an "oversized" size that actually wears well due to being made for nip manlets, rubber strap not titanium so you can adjust it easily and it's more comfortable for retards such as yourself and above all, as stated thrice already, wears much smaller than it "should"

>>17564164
what strap is that on the seiko

>>17564138
Ok will rolex sell you that $100k old ass sub right now? 'Cause omega will sell you those hollow folded endlinks right now.

>>17564117
I'm more of a Timex Ironman chad

>>17564152
>will rolex release a 38mm sub
They already make a 38mm yachtmaster, nobody buys them

Speedmaster anons, I’ve been thinking about buying a 3rd Speedmaster. A cal.861 / 1969 would be ideal. A cal.321 would be amazing but maybe after I get more more down the rabbit hole.

Any tips?

>>17564175
https://www.watchgecko.com/products/zuludiver-modern-tropical-style-rubber-watch-strap-black

>>17564170
It wears like a 50mm lug to lug because it's a 50mm lug to lug watch. Go on, post a wrist shot.

>>17564200
Buy a Rolex daytona.

>>17564200
Why not go for a '57, or an old "broad arrow"
Or maybe one of those old Schumacher special edition ones with the Ferrari red dial

>>17564200
Stop buying omegas, you already have too many

>>17564221
no such thing

>>17564200
Triple Date maybe?

>>17564212
I went to buy a Daytona, steel bezel black dial or a panda 22K at the time, would have been a good buy but at the time it wasn't so clear. Not buying the steel bezel / black dial is a bit of a regret in all honestly but I cleared someones debt instead.

>>17564218
You no what anan, I've alway really liked the 3594.50, I near pulled the trigger on a fois. I will have a look at some, I liked the idea of owning 1 of each cal. Vintage is a bit of a mind field and a neo vintage watch would be safer buying.

>>17564221
I could go all Omegas, used ones hold value well, Rolex won't sell normal people watches and other brands do not do it for me the same way.

>>17564227
I don't mind them but if I was going to buy a tri date it would be this Zenith, 01.0240.410/01.C495

>>17564244
The dial looks good but damn the case looks like it's from a cheap aliexpress watch.

>>17564236
Solid choice. I like the flat link bracelets on them. There's a company called Forstner that sells aftermarket Omega bracelets, they make a flat link bracelet that has good reviews if you want to try one out on one of your other speedys

>>17564206
thanks

so I have the the seiko SNE529 and wear is sometimes, the thing is the leather strap is stiff, is it normal? will it get better with time?

>>17564200
Give me pocket watch and GS please.

>>17564283
leather usually takes a bit of time to break in.

Bruh, when did Wal-Mart get into the used Rolex game?

>>17564300
idk if that’s real, but if they are anything like Costco it’s not surprising.

they randomly have luxury items on sale and if i ever saw a rolex for sale at Costco I would immediately purchase it

>>17564200
based. keep posting more pictures and make these /wt/ poorfags fucking seethe

>>17564302
I heard there were lawsuits where Omega sued Costco for selling Omega watches. Judge told Omega to get fucked, basically.

>>17564302
Redpill me on buying luxury watches at wholesale stores.

>>17564128
>Square G-Shock
>It's a massive hunk of shit that looks stupid if your wrists aren't tree trunks

How small are you anon?

>>17564300
Walmart copied Amazon's model where they just have the product sale page but its actually being sold by someone else.

>>17564200
travel case brand?

>>17564314
their return policy is great, often replace the manufacturer warranty with their own. this can be a very good idea if you buy a watch from a manufacturer that offers either a very short or no policy at all.

also, Costco prices are almost always MSRP at most. i bought my most recent car through Costcos auto program and it was based. you basically get a price quote directly from them and when you go to the dealer they will not upsell you in any way and match what Costco agreed to.

>>17564300
>>17564322
Is that watch a fake? How can you tell? What is even the difference between Oyster Perpetual Date and a Datejust?

>>17564325
Oh my God, is a world without a need to deal with retarded sales guys within our grasp?

>>17564327
>Is that watch a fake?
Do you think walmart would sell a fake pre-owned rolex just so it can pay attorneys to eventually refund you your money?

>>17564341
It's not wal-mart selling it. It's just on their site.

>>17564336
hopefully, Ford itself for example has something similar for some customers where they avoid dealers all together, similar to Tesla

>>17563919
No, just get some fun shitter until you can afford a real watch.

No one gives a shit about it but it's clear you're getting your nuts squeezed buying it. So don't.

>>17563789
Lads, I want something I can wear on a daily basis to a job. I was thinking an Omega Speedmaster, one of the new 37mm Tudor Black bay divers, or a Seiko Marine Master (can straight swap another seiko I have for it)

Not sure what to do lads, been sitting on the decision on what to get for a while

>>17564396
Whichever one you like more each time you look at it is the one. Ultimately it's up to you to figure it out.

>>17564396
37mm Tudor is for turbo wristlets. Will look tiny. I'm sneedpilled myself and that is my most worn watch. Seiko will only carry parts for 10 years for their watches which basically is treating them as disposable imo.

Does Rolex really only service watches for 30 years? Want to get a 16570 explorer ii but I'm worried about servicing for the next few years.

>>17564410
Any reputable watch repairman is going to be able to service a Rolex that is 30+ years old. Rolex themselves might not service it for you past that time frame but I wouldn't worry about not being able to get it done

>>17564408
Despite being a big unit I do enjoy small watches. My only issue with Omega Speedmasters is that it is hot as fuck and humid where I live, so I wouldn't mind an on the go adjustment with a bracelet

>>17564410
You don't want rolex to service old watches anyway. They will just replace dials hands etc and throw the old ones away, they give you back a new looking watch but destroy whatever collectors value it has.

>>17564416
I remember seeing a reddit post about somebody who had their omega boutique order in a quick-adjust clasp and swap it out for them. It was for a different Omega watch but it was the same size and fit the speedy bracelet, so you might have that option if you ask your local boutique. Let me see if I can dig up a link for that reddit post

Or just wait a few years, I think it's inevitable that they will include quick-adjust with their bracelets sooner or later.

>>17564421
A watch serviced by Rolex is worth less?

>>17564426
Leave reddit on reddit and go back where you came from.

>>17564427
collectors want whatever they are autistically into in its original form. happens in every “hobby”.

>>17564427
You can find stories of people with double red sea dwellers, or other rare vintage pieces, sending their watch in to rolex for a service and rolex will just throw the old dial away, destroying the value of the watch.

>>17564342
I know I said that before, but its still going through their site and they know they have to deal with returns and shit.

>>17564416
>>17564426
I found it, in the comments he talks about switching out the clasp with one from the Omega Chronoscope that has quick adjust
https://old.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/qa6gis/omega_speedy_on_polyester_nato/

>the clasp from the new Chronoscope is identical to the Speedy Pro except it has a one position micro-adjust in it. It’s available to order from anyone with an Omega parts account

>>17564430
yeah yeah I know we all hate reddit, fuck you

The only reason I don't wear my rolex everywhere is because I don't want anyone to feel bad because I'm better than them. I leave it in my safe deposit box because I am a good person.

>>17563870
There's Citizen that looks similar for 500$.

>>17564434
So the rolex warranty isn't good after all. I guess that clears me to buy grey market.

>>17564479
Yeah and it vindicates all of the people who want iced out rolexes that were told it would ruin the value of the watch because you couldn't get Rolex to service it. If you needed service Rolex would ruin your watch value anyway, so what's the difference?

>>17564486
It still hurts the resale value because nobody wants a diamond encrusted rolex except rich rappers and that's not a very large market segment

>>17564492
I guarantee you an iced out Patek would sell for double or more retail value literally just because someone like Jay Z or Cardi B or Eminem or somebody owned it.

Do people still wear rocker watches? Or would i look like a complete retard wearing one?

>>17564200
From your pic, it looks like you have the 3861 Sapphire and a 1861 (3570.50?). If my assumptions are correct, I'd ask the following:

1) Why would an 861/1969 be ideal if you already have an 1861? Are you thinking more about the vintage aspect of having a 145.022, with tritium dial, maybe a different caseback, etc.? Or are you looking for an actual transition 861 with the older style dial with the long indices and applied Omega logo?

2) If you want the vintage styling, then an old 145.022 would be great, as it's the least expensive option to get the look. But if you go that route, why not just bite the bullet and save up for a cal. 321 (145.012 or 105.012); these are the most affordable ones available and the most numerous. That way you win.

3) No matter what you do, if you go vintage, you should find a watchmaker that you trust ASAP. Buying watches that old usually means that they need to be serviced as soon as you get them. Part of my own process is not to trust any seller saying the watch has been 'recently serviced'. Too many times I've taken watches with that description to my watchmaker and he'd gently educate me on precisely why the last watchmaker to touch the movement was a gorilla. So, assume the watch needs servicing, and if you need parts, unless your watchmaker has an Omega parts account, the parts for the older 321 may be difficult to come by.

4) Biggest tip I can give you: check out Speedmaster101's website (by the same name), also his channel on youtube (I think it's called WilliamSpeedmaster101). It'll give you serious info about cal 321s and the early transitional Speedies.

5) You could also just go with other choices like Anons here have suggested. Triple dates are fun, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, and Mark 4.5s are great too. You could try the larger ones (44mm), the smaller ones (reduced, Schumacher, etc.), or even the modern co-axials which are fantastic (grey side of the moon, etc.). What do you think?

>>17564562
I've never heard of a "rocker watch" but if you're talking about bund straps in that pic you posted, yes people still wear them.. Lately they've had a resurgence since Brat Pitt wore one in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. They only seem to work well with certain watches, mainly smaller vintage watches.

Question. Is orient kamasu a good robust watch? I need a beater.

>>17564593
Ahh yeah thanks man
My dad used to have one a long time ago
I feel like they won't really be suitable for a more modern clothing style, though

>>17563789
Wanting to be a man and not wearing picrel watch kek

Can I still buy Vostok watches or is this gay war shit going to get my watch seized by US customs?

>>17564251
Yea I have thought the same thing, the Chinese probably took the case design from some sort of VC.

>>17564261
I saw one in person on a Speedy at a meet up, would buy one for a FOIS.

>>17564396
I love the MM300 but get the Speedmaster, it will always be a Speedmaster and stand you well as a 1 watch.

>>17564416
>>17564438
>>17564426
All new Speedmaster now come with the quick adjustment as standard.
I have mines ordered with the AD (£140ish) but they have changed it.

>>17564569
This was the post I was hoping for, thanks. It’s the vintage look I want and somewhat the collectability. The fact they were the less expensive was and added bonus and it hedged my rise a bit.

I’d love a 321 with an extract and maybe that is the best way to go and in years to come I know I will be happy with that choice. I will put 145.012 or 105.012 into my daily watch hunts.

I don’t have any watch makers in my local area I would trust with a vintage Speedmaster or anything of value. The only one I know and would try does not have a parts account.

Speedmaster101 YouTube was what started this idea of a vintage Speedmaster, I have watched everything, the info was excellent.

I’m leaning towards maybe the broad arrow or FOIS, I always liked the MKll’s and really love the dark side of the moons apollo 8 (would buy) but worry I’d chip the case as unlikely as that is to happen but I know Omega replacement price for a case is close to the price of the watch. I’ll learn more about 321 and 861 refs and not jump in and make mistakes but if the right one came along I could pull the trigger on it even after buying a few other speedys first, if that was not the case I’d go straight for the cal.321, thank you for the excellent reply and clarity.

>>17564686
not only the watch will be seized, but you will be shot on spot too

>>17564694
Best of luck with the search. I love speedies too.

I've had experience with the ceramic cases for the Speedies; yes, they can shatter, but you really do need to do something catastrophic (i.e. drop it two floors down onto concrete or tile). In normal wear and tear, you'll be fine, and if you're normally careful with watches, then they'll last as well as any other.

Buying a 321 without an extract isn't an automatic no-go; if you trust the seller and the pics of the movement, case, bezel, handset, and dial align with what you should see according to the model, then an extract isn't really necessary before purchase. I'm very happy with my 321, but I did purchase it without the benefit of an extract (I got that after). If you want a Speedy that is 'real' for the Space Race, then don't settle. Buy the best one you can at the price you are comfortable with, and don't look back. Beware though; there are counterfeit bezels floating around, and real ones in good condition are getting rarer to find. Last thought about the 321s - the performance tolerances are much wider than the 861s; even if a trusty watchmaker adjusts the rate to perform accurately under 'daily life' circumstances, you will see it perform far worse when it's under 24 hours power reserve. There's a reason the Apollo astronauts had a scheduled 'watch-winding' in their daily routine.

MKIIs are lots of fun if you want a different case shape for your collection, and they're far cheaper (or at least, used to be) than any Speedy Pro.

Finally; I'm not convinced you'll make a mistake if you're being careful from the onset. The trick is having the disposable income 'ready' for when the vintage watch appears. Timing is everything.

Hope that helps, and share it when it arrives.

>>17564686
The official vostock store ships through another country to bypass the embargo, so you should be fine.
As a side note, I've been wanting a vostok for some time but a friend of mine owns two and he has horror stories about them.

>>17564733
well go on then, tell us those stories, don't leave us hanging

Seiko's introducing the 5 series in 38mm for the diver SRPK series.

https://monochrome-watches.com/introducing-seiko-5-sports-skx-series-mid-size-38mm-collection-2023-srpk29-srpk31-srpk33-srpk35-specs-price/

Is this in line with what you expected, any surprises?

I'm after a 26mm strap that tapers to 22mm at the buckle for a Raymond Weil I've found after years of sitting in a box. Any good sites? RW quoted me like 380 for a OEM strap.

>>17564757
Took them long enough. I don't like the bracelet, or the oversized lugs. The dials look mediocre, I hate the new stylized "automatic". I like that it's only 12mm thick, but it looks like most of those savings are at the front of the watch, looks like a thin crystal and bezel. It looks like a 150 dollar watch, and I bet they'll charge 300 for it.

>>17564767
It's all up to where you buy it and what sale they have going. In Australia, all the mainstream jewellers stock Seiko and have some pretty mint sales like 50% one time.

Does anyone have the picture or video of that guy drinking from a can with a gold Casio halfway up his arm?

>>17564757
Orient kamasu > seiko 5

>>17564760
Good for breitling, can tell they've been trying to break their mold recently.

Tudor staying wherre they are 3 years on the trot is interesting - pretty hard to follow from the bb58 hype with oversized rangers and 15mm thick gmts I guess.

How to get money for watches, can you guys give me some good advice?

>>17564808
try selling them

>>17564735
>islander v2 incoming
ugh

>>17564808
Get a job & don't have kids.

>>17564808
I work brah, I got a higher paying job. Alternatively start a labour union at your job if you don't already have one and try and shake the company down for more money

>>17563920
the black is understated and if you're going for a one watch for all occasions, that's the safe choice
... but that red is lush, and you could always swap the strap out for a black or brown leather in the office

>>17564808
If you're asking that question then you don't need a better watch, that's the best advice i can give you.

>>17563974
oh, wow

nta but that's gorgeous

>>17563955
grand seiko has "similar" ones. they like to play with dial finishes like this, like the white birch.

>>17564104
the only rolex i would ever consider. that being said, i have an alpinist PSB197J1 that already scratched that itch. but never say never.

>>17563974
Thanks for reminding me of these, i went to check them for fun and i found this. It looks awesome, shame it's too big for me.

>>17564760
the constant rise of Breitling surprises me
also, the fact that Hermes is above Chopard now... and so is Van Cleef & Arpels, didn't even know they maded watches
and the fact that Breguet is not in the top 20 in recent years is sad

and 1 kid over 18 years = 10 submariners, probably.

>>17564839
So how did you achieve that, give some details.

>>17564841
Figured out what I was good at when I was a freshly kicked-out-of-my-house bartender at like 19, then applied for engineering apprenticeships.

>>17564845
What does that mean, how did you survive if you got kicked out of your house? Where did you live, what did you eat? And how do you apply for engineering apprenticeships, what is engineering in this context even? Don't you have to go to school for that? Do you engineer rockets or door hinges?

>>17564009
>>17564017
should I get one of these or a Nomos?

>>17564846
Woah that's a lot of questions.

I was a bartender and briefly a labourer for about 18 months of just trying to survive after getting kicked out, then had a proper think about what I was good at in high-school: maths. Then applied for engineering-related apprenticeships, ended up in (I don't want to say exactly which field) let's call it public infrastructure design engineering.

In the UK there are is a well-organized apprenticeships structure which encourages employers to have a set number of intakes every year.

>>17564838
getting money for watches is no other than getting money for anything else you imbecile
get a decent job and if you're not hireable go to school until you are simple as

>>17564803

>>17564858
Sounds great that your country is giving people free rides like that. That's not really applicable to most of the world.

>>17564857
Yunghans, just make sure you buy it used.

Is there a 2022 version out yet?

>>17564863
For the company I work for there were 900 applicants and 30 intakes, although it is a very popular one - I wouldn't call it a free ride or everyone would do it.

There are a lot of routes to mediocre levels of success, it just takes time and knowing what you are good at.

>>17564864
why used? just cause they're cheaper or did they used to make them better in some way?

>>17564808
What kind of stupid fucking question is this? Get a job, nigger.

>>17564874
Don't know who's giving out jobs that pay more than barely making ends meet (if you inherited an apartment and don't have to pay rent) in my country, what can I get internationally and how?

>>17564872
They are cheaper - there's just no reason to buy a luxury german watch for full price in my eyes.

>>17564876
I got an entry level job at an outsourcing agency for IT support. While working there I took some courses which made me eligible for a promotion and then I slowly climbed the corporate ladder for the next few years and then once I had all that experience I could apply for a good job at a better company. Now I have a decent income, by my country's standards at least, and can afford to spend money on luxuries. It's really not that hard, most people are terrible employees so if you actually do your best you will stand out.

>>17564882
>>I got an entry level job at an outsourcing agency for IT support.
How? Where do you get this? You do it internationally? Where do you pay taxes? Is this like a call center?

>>17564863
actually most of the free world is like that, sucks that you live in a shithole that didn't provide you with basic schooling

>>17564876
don't limit yourself to whatever monkey country you're from

If it's so free why do you have to work?

No, every country will have these type of companies
>Where do you pay taxes?
In the country where I live. Taxes are automatically deducted from your paycheck

Yes

Are you just trolling or do you really completely lack any common sense and life experience?

>>17564888
>Look at whatever website people in your country use for job postings and apply for positions that don't require experience
No such thing, the economy is shit, you can only get a job if you're someone's relative and no one wants to work with an advanced degree for less than $1k/month for jobs that are "available" so they just move abroad if they have relatives there.

>>17564888
Where exactly did you get this "common sense" and "life experience"? Who told you all this? You just googled it?

>>17564888

I gotta hustle hard, boys. You think these are attainable just by HARD WORK, or do you literally have to be born into these watches, or luck out immensely, like being a big retard negro athlete or mumble rapper?

>>17564901
I like watches where the dial texture extends over the case as well.

>>17564930
I have that KQ, with a blue dial. Wish this shit would make a comeback.

>>17564863
I feel sorry for you. Those self limiting believes are going to lead to a life of misery and sorrow.

If you want actual advice and arent just interested in a sorror party the go work in a trade.
I wouldnt recommend brick laying or anything like that. You seem like the kind of person that is sensitive and I dont mean that as a bad thing. I used to work as a carpenter and the way trade people talk to each other wasnt my thing.
I then went to an electrician and worked for him.
Electricians are mostly smarter than your average brick layer or carpenter.

If your boss is shitty find another one.
After a year or two you will be skilled enough to apply for industry work.

You could try to share an appartment with college students to save costs on living.
In that time you can go to a community college part time to get a degree that will help you get a better industry job.

Also it doesnt matter if you already have the necessary skills for a trade job. We had an apprentice who literally didn't know how to hold a hammer. He was such a major fuck up but we managed to turn him into a good electrician.
Even disabilites arent an excuse unless youre in a wheelchair. Just take it slow and steady.

I did all that, saved up and went to college. Now I work in healthcare.

If you have more questions I will answer them tomorrow. Do what you want with that information.
You can never say you havent been told

Ok so let's see, I'm almost 45, 2 years of apprenticeship (while I eat what exactly? and live where?), then 5 years of college (while I eat what exactly? and live where?) and then at 50+ when I should be retired, I can start my "career" and get hired by who exactly, are you going to hire me?

>>17564966

you seem to be mentally retarded. you get paid during an apprenticeship you absolute moron.

>I honestly believe you are trolling because if you are for real you are literally pathetic. 45 year old and has to be taught about life by zoomers on 4chan.
Ok, and why can't you just teach me instead of sperging out? Did you regularly get that kind of a reaction whenever you asked someone a question about something? How long do you think it would take you to just stop asking questions and conclude people are putrid shit and not worth asking for help?

Chinks, Indians and other soulless races won't buy a JLC, because they can't flex to their peers who only know Rolex.

Niggers won't buy them either because a Reverso is small and reserved, unlike a blinged-out Royal Oak.

>>17564987
>>You just gave yourself away.
Usually you have to pay for education/training, so this seems like something extremely unique to your situation. Not even a real job as an electrician pays a living wage in my country, so how the hell would an apprenticeship? Want to hire me in Romania if that's the case?

Depends what you think 'thin' is but for women a chunky pseudo luxury appearing watch is what women wear, shit their husband or father would wear.

>>17565200
You described literally the opposite of every women's watch I've ever seen. They're almost always tiny minimal faces with thin tiny straps or bracelet.

>>17565194
Every fucking thread you're shilling this shit. Just fuck off already.

>>17565206
Those are womens watches sold specifically to women who want a traditional womens dainty watch. I've also seen a lot of women wearing a well-used watch from their husband or boyfriend or father. Clearly men's watches that just work for casual or office casual wear. Where it doesn't look right is formal or professional.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter because young women generally don't wear watches other than to advertise dumb shit like MK, gucci, LV, or other name brands. Also, that poster isn't a woman.

My fiance bought this watch the other day, I don't know how I feel about it. It's one of those analog electronic deals where you use the crown to give it commants and the hands electronically fly all over the goddamn place, in this case the second hand becomes an indicator for the time zone so you can scan through every time zone to see what time it is in the city indicated. She's quite chuffed with it but to me the polymer faux pearl material they use for the dial looks like the rubber they use to make sex toys.

>>17565208

Just for the record, I hat the "just buy a Rolex" fags as well. But at least with them I don't get the feeling that they are trying to sell me something. You are not discussing this brand, you are actively shilling it even when it doesn't come up naturally in conversation.

>>17565242
Price and shock resistance. Some even use the same module but protreks are cheaper because they don't have to add any of the shock resistance features. That doesn't matter for normal use, protreks are very durable for anything you throw at them.

>>17565262
But they are. They are literally trying to sell you something, whether it's rolexes or their cope. So next time someone starts I expect you to tell them to knock off the shilling and fuck off. Commit to that same energy.

>>17565194
Microbrands are for absolute faggots. Want sapphire? It's 5 bucks from China. Want AR coated? It's 25 bucks. Takes about 5 minutes to swap out a crystal.

At least buy the chink produced watches directly from the chinks for half the price. Chinks make some good stuff these days, you can buy the cases or the watches and swap in whatever you want.

>>17565224
How do you know what I do or don't know?

Yeah it's cool, it's super retro and it's the watch from Alien. I think it's cooler than the calculator watch.
It's 70 bucks though which is ridiculous because functionally it does as much as the f91.

>>17565281
Then buy the chink watch that comes with sapphire as standard, instead of buying the same watch with "islander" printed on the dial for 2-4x the price.

Personally I don't buy anything inferior. Which is why I make my own watches.
