WE HAVE TO GO SMALLER

Bought an Aqua Terra 2 weeks ago.
My best friend asked me how much I paid for it.
After I told him he had this look on his face, almost like pity but he said he was happy for me.
That same evening it hit me, he was right. What the fuck am I doing buying a watch for 6000 bucks?
I remember when I bought my first Timex 8 years ago and thought $70 was almost too much. How did it get this bad for me?
I have friends who's cars are cheaper than the Terra.
While I do have lots of disposable income I just couldn't justify owning something like that. Went back to my Omega boutique and they took it back no questions asked.

Even my Sinn 104 St Sa I MG feels like a retarded choice now.
This isn't a "hobby" this is plain consuming.

See ya fucks, I'm going on new adventures.

>>17570149
36mm is for women or little boys. 37mm works with a thin bezel and flat crystal, but if you just size everything down to 36 it doesn't work. The dial gets too small.

>>17570171
just buy reps lol
idiot

>>17570151
>>17570155
This watch looks like a quartz MVMT shitter.

>>17570187
I'm intrigued. Show me a MVMT that looks like it.

>>17570191

>>17570171
what made you get an aqua terra in the first place? Seems like you just got it to fit in with the watch crowd, not because you actually like it

>>17570142
>tranny
What? I'm subbed to the Nomos newsletter and I haven't ever seen anything tranny related.

>>17570171
Glad you figured out it's not for you. However, I would have picked a second hand first gen AT for half the price of a new one. Those things are real contenders for a one watch collection.

>>17570197
meant my first reply to be to >>17569872

Someone post that Homos woman meme.

>>17570193
...I guess it's close enough. The IWC is still nicer, though.

>>17570193
lol not only is this watch absolute dogshit, it’s clearly a ripoff of the IWC
shitcos gonna rip off real swiss watch manufacturers, nothing you can do about it - and why bother when the MVMT watch looks that horrible? you think that’s eating into IWC’s sales?

>>17570187
post your watch, the one you own that’s better than the IWC
go ahead

>We have Speedmaster at home

>mfw the cologne I wear is more expensive than the watch I wear

ahahahahahahahaha no

>>17570211
You post different pictures of the same fucking watch 30 times a day, what the fuck to I have to prove to a dumbfuck nobody like you?

>>17570212
this is exactly as close to a Speedmaster as this:
>>17570193
is to the IWC

>>17570216
This some truly pathetic cope, wow.
Are you okay anon?

>>17570218
Which is to say entirely too close.

>>17570216
how good will the content on this board be if everyone that owns a $5k+ watch posts once and never comes back?

>>17570223
How is it cope? All I did was call you an attention whoring retard with one watch EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE for some reason only knowable to you. There's nothing cope about it.

>>17570213
same

>>17570232
How good would it be if everyone didn't post the same goddamn pictures every fucking thread? Can we please try it and find out?

>>17570216
He wears a nice watch and posts pictures of it in a watch thread, how is he a dumbfuck nobody?

>>17570239
Because he spent a day with his dad's watch weeks ago and needs to make everyone relive that day with him through pictures every thread?

I'm the most racist anon in this thread.
Recommend me a watch.
8k budget.

>>17570233
>>17570238
so are you gonna post a picture of your watch, or?
seems like you’re not exactly bringing the content

>>17570242

Better buy japonese than buy reps.
If my grandpa left me with a seiko i would cherish it. If he left me a rep a would thrash it.

>>17570254

>>17570243
Is panerai a problematic brand?

>>17570267
You are completely, willfully missing the entire point.

Wheres the brand tier chart, i want to buy a Longines Hydroconquest but can't do it if it's ranked badly by a random faggot online.

>>17570171
Based and enlightened

>>17570281
Luxury watches are a Veblen good and Longines occupies the absolute worst tier of watch from the perspective.

>>17570171
You see, this is why smart people buy Rolex.
Everyone know Rolex are expensive watches. So when people see you wearing they won't ask questions. They'll just assume you wanted to celebrate some special event, or you just like nice expensive things. Besides, everyone knows Rolex hold their value.

When you buy an expensive non-Rolex watch, they'll just look at you funny and think you're bad with money.

hello anons, what watch is a good alternative to the sneedmaster without the faggot connotations? (i.e 3 subdial crono)
Or do I just get a speedy because I do kinda like them.

>>17570251
My grandpa left me a seiko, it's an ugly 2 tone quartz chrono. Thanks grandpa, you always were a fat drunk retard.

>>17570151

How can you look at this and think "this is fine"?
Pic related is how a watch should sit on your wrist, you muppet.

>>17570298
Ever notice how how .I. at 12:00 looks like a dick?

>>17570302
>implying there is only one kind of watch and only one size and only one brand and only one time period and only one style and only one right thing and everyone should wear a dress watch even with jeans and nobody should have any fun, ever

>>17570302
He took the 95% meme to heart, poor guy.

>>17570303
Yes, I initially didn't like it because of that but it grew on me.
>>17570244
This is like the second timer every I've posted my sneedmaster here and I'm not posting the same fucking watch over and over in every thread

>>17570298
Imagine being so afraid of racist sexist losers on the internet that you spend your time making sure to remember all the things on this hate list

>>17570303
hehe... yes...

>>17570307
Wow I typed like an ESL here wtf.

Rolex aren’t for you poorfags you will never own a new Rolex

>>17570302
Of course the Lange is a nice watch, but if you think all watches should be this size you’re much dumber than someone that buys an IWC

>>17570298
Seiko made a bunch of sneedmaster clones in the 80s, you can go anywhere from a Bond watch to the one from aliens, they all use a 7a28. Full metal movement, no cheap plastic like the sneedy.

>>17570313
Both the IWC and the Omega in this thread are more expensive than several Rolex models

HAHAHA YEAH INSULT EACH OTHER OVER WATCHES

YEAH KILL EACH OTHER HAHAHAHAH

>>17570307
you must be suffering from a serious lack of control over your personal circumstances to be this upset about someone posting a few pictures on an anonymous, infinite, disappearing image board thread

>>17570318
They weren't exactly clones. They look better than the sneedmaster desu.

>>17570305
But that's true, the only correct watch brand and size is Rolex 36mm.

>>17570307
What are the service intervals like?

Just don't reply to the IWC tranny shill anymore. Maybe he'll eventually stop once he's not getting attention anymore like the VC tranny did.

>>17570305
There are basic aesthetic rules, anon.
Sometimes watches are too small, sometimes they are too big. Yours is too big because it occupies almost 100% of the top of your wrist.
Pic related is the same watch worn the right way. See how it doesn't look cartoonish?

>>17570331
Apparently the coaxial movements (which this is) are like 7-9 years from onega which means 10 to 12 actually

>>17570331
Service intervals are whatever you make them, 5 or 10 years easily. (((Recommended service interval))) is another thing altogether.

>>17570316
All watches should be that size, though. That's about an 80% lug/wrist ratio. If you're wearing a diver, you can go up to 85%. IWC guy's 96%? He's miles off a good fit, and his 72% dial/wrist is dangerously high making it look even worse.

>>17570334
It probably actually is a kid wearing his dad's watch.

>>17570330
The poor person’s Rolex? Weird choice.

I want a speedy or a navitimer but the water resistance seems too low. I’m a vet so I wash my hands a lot

>>17570335
Oh nice, I didn't realize it was the new co-ax model. What made you go for it over something with the old movement?

>>17570342
If this is poor I don't want to be rich.

Almost like no one cares about your autistic “rules” including the world’s best watchmakers

Hi /wt/

I haven't been in these threads since like 2017. Do we still like the Seiko Alpenis? There are a lot of versions now apparently so which one is nicest?

>>17570350
These watches are all for people with bigger wrists than you. Mainly fatties.

>>17570345
Eh, anything with at least 3 atm will handle hand washing if the gaskets aren't rotted away due to neglect.
>vet
Thank you for your service.

I might buy an Islander and post 43 pictures of myself drinking coffee with it on every thread and see how you guys feel about people posting the same goddamn watch over and over.
>BUT IT'S CONTENT!!!

>>17570345
>>17570348
yeah if you're not comfortably dumping it in a bucket of soapy water to soak doesn't seem right for the job

>>17570347
cool clock, Ahmed

>>17570354
How do you neglect orings?

Hey autists. I wanna buy a daily beater, which still is a decent watch. I found out about kamasu and now choose between the two. Anyone had experience with them? Also open to suggestions.

>>17570339
This.
Pic related makes me cringe as much as the IWC anon.
It's actually insane how so many people can't realize how their watch is too big for them.

>>17570360
Various chemicals can degrade o-rings
Not sure how often you'd encounter them as a vet but I'd say more likely than not it would be when you're cleaning up

>>17570364
>how does a phone camera lens work?

>>17570360
Don't ever get them pressure checked or replaced in a service ? I had rust develop on my Sinn 556's balance wheel since the gaskets were rotten. I bought it about ten years ago and had it serviced for the first time last year when it started losing time.

>>17570359
How the fuck did you know my name?

>>17570355
You spend half your time talking about those retarded watches and you don't even own one? What's wrong with you.

>>17570363
I swear to god, if you ask this question one more time, I'm putting Orient on the list of shitters. If you like it, then buy it. There's nothing wrong with them. The red is a bit more visually interesting for me.

>>17570352
>implying Omega’s entire men’s catalog is only available to men with 7.5”+ wrists
And you still haven’t realized you’re the idiot here…

>>17570382
Don't they have a 37mm AT now? I know the first gen had a 36.

>>17570303
watches and dicks go hand in hand

>>17570350
Brands are just adapting to the new normal.
If you're even considering buying a 41mm Datejust, you probably need to go on a diet.

Who else is talking about fucking islanders all the time? It's you, you cunt. Stop it, they're ugly.

>>17570290
Based what movements do they use?

>>17570281
Longines is ranked quasi-luxury in the chart, the same as Oris and Mido

>>17570380
Eh? Dunno nigga, I think you took me for someone else.
But still fair.

>>17570329

>>17570389
What do you think of a pulsometer complication for measuring heart rates?

>>17570400
Long jeans, mido, oris are based quasi luxury, good first big boy watch. Same goes for certina, but its a bit more utilitarian.

>>17570395
Maybe they'd stop if you'd stop sperging out every time the brand is mentioned.

>>17570385
38.5mm
Is they the only watch Omega intends for 80% of men to buy? Or maybe this anon has it wrong.

Hard to say which I guess..

>>17570347
>I don't want to be rich.
You have achieved your dream, then.

>>17570409
Damn, that's a shame. At least Tudor is still sensible enough to make their Black Bay available in 36.

>>17570401
>>17566383
Same picture, same question, same "daily beater", 2 days ago. Maybe it's just a coincidence. But I know I'm not crazy, I know you swapped those post numbers. I just can't prove it.

>>17570409
You think 80% of men have 6 inch wrists? 50% of men have a wrist size above 7.5".

>>17570409
Have you ever seen an Omega in real life? They're obviously designed to pander to douchebags who love tacky things. Of course most Omega are too large for their customer, but that's the whole point.

Raketa 24h Polar Watch "Icebear". Gifted it to my father a few years ago, scheduled for service.

>please be in london

>>17570422
Google tells me 50% are over 7.25”
But that also includes fatties, and they’re going to look like shit with or without a nice watch on so they’re kind of irrelevant, no?

>>17570426
Neat, where did he find it?

>>17570398
Mostly ETA based, and a couple of colabs with Seiko.

>>17570437
I found it on eBay. I knew he wanted a 24h watch, so I searched for something more interesting.

>>17570436
And most of the guys under 7.25" are malnurished pajeets, you have to remember that study was done on watch forums, and pajeets with small wrists are more likely to be interested in wrist sizes, while guys with larger ones will be less likely because they don't care.

I've never even once thought of doing that and it's a shame some people's lives and hearts are so empty and petty that they would do something like that. Maybe I'm in the wrong fucking hobby.

>>17570420
>camera lens
No, that's the bones in your wrist. When facing towards you, like when you take a picture of your wrist, the bones cross over and your wrist is about 1cm thinner. When facing away from you, you have a wider looking wrist, so the watch looks better.

>>17570457
Lots of people buy watches in the hope that someone else complements them for it, because they're very petty and vain. I know we're on /fa/, but that's just how it goes. They're mostly the sorts of people who buy Omegas and Rolexes though, it's a boomer version of hypebeast zoomers wearing 1k t-shirts.

>>17570457
Nah he's not in the watch hobby, he's in the desperate show-off hobby.

>>17570474
All the Seiko 5 divers are like 150g, dude. How heavy do you want your watch?

>>17570346
This cost like 5.5k new + warranty and a used one from like 10-20 years ago is like 4k with the old movement. I figured a service costs about 700 (more expensive for a chronograph) so getting a new one with service in like 10 years versus in less than 5 + good shape of the crystal was worth the extra cost. Plus hacking is nice, the old movement doesn't have hacking lmao. I'm autistic about having that

>>17570478
Post yours then.

>>17570478
Thinking about picking up a Rolex in the next couple of weeks. I don’t mind paying secondary market prices. What should I get?
36mm Explorer
36mm Datejust with fluted bezel
39mm OP with black dial
Daytona 116500 LN panda

I’m thinking about the Daytona but desu it come with so much baggage and people are weird about them nowadays.

I also kinda hate the cyclops which makes me not want to get a Datejust.
And don’t say Submariner, Sea-Dweller, Sky-Dweller or Cellini. Those are all butt-ugly.

>>17570478
>what's with the total lack of rolex in these threads,
Once someone gets a Rolex, they no longer need this thread, and they leave.

>>17570495
Disagree on the sky dweller and submariner desu but the other two are ugly yes.
OP is lame imo, datejust with fluted bezel is my vote. Explorer 3-6-9 Arabic numerals being a quarter of the size of the dial are ugly as hell. Panda is cool but sneedmaster is cooler. Verification not required

Am I the only one who prefer the Datejust with smooth bezel? Fluted bezel looks too grandpa imo.

>>17570471
Not even this one? Curious to know what you think is wrong with it.
>>17570487
Yeah you sound like you made the right decision
>>17570495
If you can get a Daytona and like it then get a Daytona. I would get one if I could but I'm borderline poorfag.

>>17570504
I prefer the smooth bezel with the Oyster bracelet, the fluted bezel with the Jubilee bracelet.

>>17570512
>Curious to know what you think is wrong with it.
It clearly says "Omega" on the dial. That means it's shit.

>>17570512
I used to own this Aqua Terra and it’s fucking based.
Signed, IWC guy.
>>17570420

>>17570504
Most people buying rolexes want the fluted bezel because it just screams "rolex" at this point. Smooth makes it less obvious.


>>17570512
Minute markers are too long, minute hand is hideous, indices come in too far. If they snipped that stupid arrow off it, it'd just be a bland watch.

>>17570478
I’m not paying 6k for some boomers old watch

>>17570517
Thanks, I'm glad I have one with a 2500c in it. I hear some of the earlier versions had bugs not fixed until the 2500c.

>>17570516
Not entirely wrong, the bracelet broke when I looked at it from a bad angle. It's about time for a service anyway (last one was eight years ago) so I'll be dropping it off soon.

>>17570476
I unironically would wear 180-200 grm with ease. I hate the notion about say meme titanium watches being "super lightweight and thats a good thing". Am I retarded or certified watch autistic in my own right?

>>17570535
>I'm glad I have one with a 2500c in it.
The 2500D is the one that was stable. The 2500C still grenades itself.

>>17570527
The minute hand bothered me a lot at first, as did the date window for snipping off one of the indices. I also would have greatly prefered the 36mm version. This was a gift though, so it has sentimental value that can't be replaced.

>>17570544
Fug

>>17570504
I might get this.
Love the combination of the jubilee bracelet and the smooth bezel - it’s less obnoxious than the jubilee + fluted.
And the blue is nice too.

>>17570537
I would lean towards certified watch autistic, a lot of watch guys seem to love heavy pieces of shit. You know you can always just buy a strap with a stupid gimmick clasp, right? Those add a solid 50g to a watch.

Titanium is mediocre, it scratches too easily and doesn't look as good as steel. The weight savings don't mean anything when half the titanium shit is bulky as hell anyway, if they just make the parts slimmer they could've used steel and got the same weight.

Personally I don't like anything over 120g.

>>17570335
>>17570338
what if you don't wear the watch every day? I guess the oils could be the limiting factor then

>>17570551
Based. Gonna just strap a chain and my wall clock to my wrist. Strenght gains are a plus too.

>>17570557
Pretty sure letting the oils sit for long periods of time isn't good either. Parts can seize, and then you give it a shake to see if it still works and some teeth snap off. Most people use a watch winder, so there will be no impact.

>>17570549
they should just make a +$500 option for a crystal without the cyclops lens

So whats the best affordable microbrand?

>>17570557
You should wear/wind your watch at least once a month or so, so the oils don't dry and gum up. If you only use the watch a few days a month it should go a long time without the need to service it. At least that's my understanding/opinion.

>>17570564
>Pretty sure letting the oils sit for long periods of time isn't good either.
This was the case before the 1990s, but since then, watch lubricants have improved quite a bit and they're very stable.

>>17570567
$12 dollar ronda movement always makes me laugh.

Microbrands are a meme. Buy the chink microbrands instead, you'll get the same watch, same kind of stupid name on the dial, but it'll cost you 200 bucks instead of 1k.

>>17570567
Why is everyone insisting on finding the best X watch or comparing different watches? You're all missing the point completely.

>>17570569
I got the feeling it was kind of a trade off, new synthetic oils work better for their rated lifespan, but the second they exceed it they break down and destroy your watch. While the old dogshit can sit in a watch for 40 years, and you'll lose 8 minutes a day, but it'll still keep ticking.

>>17570575
>You're all missing the point completely.
What is the point

Really idiotic question since nobody would ever do it, but what if someone made a really nicely machined case and a decent bracelet or high end leather for an F91 or F105? Say its milled from a solid block with sapphire. I assume a kit to let watch nerds transfer over the guts would cost $350 based on machine time, sapphire, and ensuring it would work.

Would anyone buy that? Is this already a thing?

>>17570535
Wow I had the 2500c as well

>>17570577
I've never read anything like that. Where'd you get that?

>>17570578
>What is the point
That there is no point.

>>17570566
I would absolutely pay more to get rid of the cyclops, as cucked as that is

>>17570539
No need to mock him like a Redditor for his opinion (which I asked for), part of true snobbery is being profoundly disturbed by the length of indices on a timepiece.
>>17570567
Nomos

>>17570578
The best watch is the one YOU like.

>>17570579
It's not that crazy a question, but the market just isn't big enough for it. An example of something similar would be the g-shock squares, a few years back Casio started offering them with steel/titanium outer cases. The inner piece was still plastic, but the rubber you stick to the outside was now steel, same with the strap. Chinks cloned it, and there are a few similar things like steel case mods for the casioak.

The number of people who want a high end F91 is just too low, it's a cheap watch, you throw it out and get a new one in 10 years when the case gets too beat up. Why spend 350 bucks making your F91 look cooler when you could spend it on a nicer watch to begin with?

>>17570589

>>17570593
I assume so you can mog other gay hipsters wearing the same watch?

>>17570589
>I would absolutely pay more to get rid of the cyclops, as cucked as that is
You don't have to pay at all. It's just glued on, you can remove it yourself.

Of course, if you ever send it to Rolex for service, they'll replace it. The entire crystal, that is.

>>17570599
Thanks, but its completely irrelevant to what I was asking.

>>17570593
I guess thats all reasonable. Most people would rather throw out the watch and get a new one instead of spend $4 on a new battery so I get it, but also a fairly attractive well-machined case for an otherwise pedestrian watch might be alright. If I knew a machinist I might commission one but good luck with zero measurements to give him.

>>17570599
Lol, what a moronic watch.

>>17570348
have you ever been bitten by a fish?
if you're the aquariumist that got stung by a sea anenenenome then have you bitten any fish?

And then you woke up?

>>17570605
You'd likely need a 2 part case anyway, I'm guessing the casio module assumes the case is non-conductive. You've also got funky things to deal with like the text around the screen being printed onto the plastic glass, you'd have to recreate that on sapphire, expensive stuff.

You're probably better off just buying an 80s Casio marlin or something similar. Those had metal cases.

>>17570171
It's not for everyone, I do feel you will spend the same sort of money in whatever "hobby" you do next, I'd recommend traveling and somewhere you don't speak the language. Sounds like you should have bought a Rolex, you have to think of it as parking money somewhere, like gold coins but you can wear it.

Is AT money a lot of money to you or was it the other people making you feel bad because they are broke. You should have got a Speedmaster as it's timeless. Wear a Seiko for a while and figure out your feels.

>>17570621
Yeah, its why I'd even be happy with either functions etched into the caseback to have a clean and plain face, or just enamel on the case itself. I'd prefer a more plain case because I do not fucking care about the water resistance for an aftermarket case, or from Casio to begin with. Nothing irritates me more than a well done automatic watch and on the dial it says WATER RESISTANT 100 METERS like who fucking cares? Why is that there?

But I didn't think or know about the internals needing a non-conductive case.

/wt/ is to worried about sizing all the time, they only bring it up with lux watches because they are poor and they don't photograph their shitters, so they have no item about lens.

>>17570425
That's pretty much every dive watch though. 99.9% of buyers aren't divers but people that just want to show off to normies with bulky watches

Some spics robbed me a few years ago and stole my skx007. Today I thought what the hell I loved this watch, lets buy a used one.

>way overpriced for shit condition
>most are modded

remind me why did Seiko get rid of their only worthwhile watch again?

>>17570664
Shit, one day I'll wear a 30mm old shitter and the next day a semenslurper. You guys need to get out more instead of typing the same old bullshit in these threads. It could be worth looking into the amount of time you've spent shitposting on here while you could be out having fun with friends.

Gorgeous. 100% the piece to pull out of the safe when the time comes to slay Royal Oaks or Nautili.

I only own digitals. I'm going on a trip abroad in couple months and wanna class it up and maybe flash a little cash. $500-1000, something I could wear with a suit or casual fashion clothing. Bonus points for industrial aesthetic or exposed mechanical movements. Don't actually care about the movement if I can't see it, or impressing watch people.

What should I get?
This was my first idea, then a Tisell Pilot, then a Sea-Gull, idk what I want.

I asked this one time before, I'll be in Los Angeles in a few weeks. Should I wear the 300m on OEM rubber or Willard on rubber.

I haven't been to the USA post covid, last time was NYC pre covid. I would be happy wearing a 300m in Manhattan but not out of it for ref, I will be driving destination to destination.

>>17570741
Hamilton khaki. If your wrists aren't very skinny it'll look great and is actually a good watch. Had one for ten years and it still kept good time when I gave it away.

>>17570174
37 and 36 is just right

>>17570744
whats the point in having two trutles and two redditmaster moonwatches?

>I'm a young idiot and want to show off what little money I have while in a foreign country
So you're trying your hardest to appear to have money making yourself a target for mugging, or letting shopkeeps know you're willing to spend extra money for no reason.

Great plan!

>>17570753
I make over 6 figures and yes, I've been working on not dressing like a poorfag.

I don't think I'm going to get mugged in Japan.

>>17570749
I like Speedys, I like Turtles........

>>17570741
Used Sinn is what I'd go for, but you may want to wait to buy it til you're in Japan. Sinn made (and continues to make) models for the JDM you can't get anywhere else, so you may as well pick one up there.

>>17570764
I like that a lot actually thanks, what JDM models are desirable?

>>17570758
>I make over 6 figures
Then why is your "fancy" watch budget so low?

>>17570758
Wait, you're going on a trip to Japan, or you're from Japan?

>>17570773
Because I'm not really that /into/ watches and I'm not trying to impress people with real wealth.

>>17570774
I'm going to Japan, I'm the US.

>>17570758
You are not going to get mugged in Japan, I go every year anon, you clearly no yourself. Tokyo?

I would be happy wearing a GShock Square in Japan, they are popular over there. If you can get a used Nomos Club for that money or spend a bit more to get one, that's what I would do. Sea-Gull, I would look at HKED.

>>17570767
That one isn't JDM, it's discontinued but you can still buy the 556A which looks pretty much the same but with a brushed finish.

This one is one of their more recent Japan-only models currently listed on Chrono24, over budget though. I'll look for pics of the older JDM stuff

I want a Tudor Pelagos bros. I don't even mind the wall of text

>>17570788
How about your lume falling out of your bezel, look it u, your welcome.

Here's one of the more traditional looking Jap Sinns.

Lot of coping and seething going on in this thread as a result of 1 or 2 nice watches being posted.

Do better guys.

>>17570783
Used Nomos Club is a good option too, I'd post my Club dunkel but it's with the local watchmaker waiting to be serviced now.

>>17570783
>Tokyo
Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Never been before. I'm going with a large group of (mostly female) Americans, that's who I'm trying to impress desu.

>>17570786
>>17570799
Just came across this, really like the simple look with the subtle pop of color.
Dunno if I wanna spend $1400 on one tho...

>>17570823
Why don't you buy yourself a nice watch while you're in Japan?

>>17570827
I really want to, it'd give it a lot more personal value, but I know how picky I am. I can't just walk into a store and buy something most of the time.

It took me 3 months to find a pair of shoes I liked last time I decided I wanted a new pair.

Like pic related. Very nice, I like everything about it, except the crown is huge and I hate it. I would never wear it unless I could replace the crown with something smaller.

>>17570832
Of course I forget the picture

>>17570773
nta but probably because blowing $10k on a rolex is wildly irresponsible unless you're making well into the mid six figures, since he didn't specify we can safely assume he earns under $200k

>>17570823
You're in luck then, Sinn makes several models that fit that look: austere with a pop of red. Have a look around the watch stores in Tokyo and Osaka, you might find a used one that fits your budget.

>>17570832
>except the crown is huge and I hate it
thats the thing with those german fliegeruhren. they have these huge crowns. sinn to me is the best evolution of that design language

>I can't just walk into a store and buy something most of the time.

Try it once. It can be freeing not second guessing everything and getting strangers on the internet to chime in. or to excessively research.
I would love to have the experience to go into a Nip Seiko store and buying a watch

>>17570841
Look at this kraut spending his saturday night on /fa/. Richtig traurig, Bruder. Du musst dein Leben leben.

>>17570845
>thats the thing with those german fliegeruhren. they have these huge crowns.
Are aftermarket crowns a thing? Or replacing them with crowns from other models at least?

>>17570834
I hate that crown too. What do you think about the Nomos Club?

>>17570850
jo stimmt, es ist kacke

>>17570758
Buy something cool there. Loads and loads of great vintage dealers.

>>17570852
>Are aftermarket crowns a thing?
Yes but you would have to open the watch up to switch it. Its not that complicated but you'll have to make sure the crown fits the movement and the case. Would be far easier to find a watch you like as it is

>>17570610
Yes I am
No I haven't been bitten by a fish in memory

>>17570854
I don't like the cream color, but this looks nice. Not as nice as the Sinn tho

>>17570748
>>17570728
>retards who can't read
I'm talking about divers here. Obviously, dress watches are fine down to 36mm. Hell, even 34mm can work. But with divers, bulky bezels intrude on the dial and make it look smaller, so it looks like you're wearing a kids watch.

>>17570579
You can get an aftermarket metal case with sapphire crystal and metal band for the AE-1200
I think it's about $150 for everything

>>17570863
Nomos is better quality if that's something that matters to you. A real shame they discontinued this Club, I dislike the Club Campus models with the mixed numerals.

>>17570871
Diver watches are trash to begin with so who cares what size they are.

>>17570872
the AE1200 is ugly all around with no balance.

>>17570863
>>17570854
>>17570875
>>17570875
nomos club looks better in pics than it does IRL

>>17570877
I remember being new to watches and thinking hating dive watches made me sound cool

>>17570854
>What do you think about the Nomos Club?
The ones with the automatic movement are really good. Not much out there is as thin, with that much water resistance, and an in-house movement. They come in a couple sizes so you can get one that fits. Obviously, they come in tons of colors. I like the Atlantik color scheme.

The lume on the dial isn't great and the winding action feels very industrial, though the accuracy of the movement is reputed to be quite good once it's broken-in.
They depreciate brutally, so getting a good deal on a second-hand safe queen is easy.

The looks are subjective, but that's how it always is.

Spent ages hunting for a nice sapphire crystal in the dimensions I need from china, turns out I could've just bought one locally for 10 bucks. It's only 1 side AR, and it's blue AR when I would've preferred red or clear, but hey, 10 bucks for AR? Sounds good to me.

>>17570881
Its not against the law to like ugly watches such as divers. Let me guess, you're a fan of Richard Mille too?

>>17570886
someones mad he cant afford a rolex sub

>>17570886
what a random and weirdly specific retort. no, I don't much care for richard mille. any other obscure and insanely expensive niche brands you want to "accuse" me of liking?

what is the best watch for nikers?

>>17570895
*bikers
fuck

>>17570895
people who hike in nikes? apple watch with a silicone band

>>17570896

>>17570835

>>17570898

FUCKING BASED. I AM GETTING ONE NOW

>>17570891
classic /wt/, someone points out an ugly watch is ugly

Just because something costs a lot doesn't make it good or look good.

>>17570899
in what world do you think it's a smart idea to spend 10% of your pre-tax income on a watch? people who know you will just think you're an idiot.

>>17570881
I have to disagree, I think many pics make the Club Dunkel look more bland than it actually is IRL. I haven't seen enough of the original Clubs in the wild though to be able to comment.
>>17570898
Nah you need something that will fit well under a tight jacket sleeve and possibly a long glove, so nothing too bulky.

>>17570904
What is it with Germans and trying to use tennis ball fluorescent yellow on stuff? Mercedes put it on a car, BMW bike riders wear it for "visibility" and now they're putting it on watches? Its universally a terrible color for looks.

>>17570904
The date is too much. Do one or the other, not both.

>>17570905
makes no difference. the only way you could possibly not look like an idiot wearing a watch that's 10% of your annual pre-tax income is if you work in the watch industry and you need to show how much you care about watches

>>17570454
Looks kind of good but I was interested in the Alpinist because it has some hour markings and a pretty clean dial besides that. Similar to the Homos watch that keeps getting posted here but without being from a cuck brand.

>>17570914
Show me where the hi vis touched you Anon

>>17570917
Lmao. What's with the Nomos hate?

>>17570921

>>17570903
the only thing that looks good is the dial itself. the hands and case are shockingly mediocre. the crown is just ok. I guess the bands are alright.

>>17570922
>What's with the Nomos hate?
"Homos" and a lot of anti-semitic memes

>>17570922
they put something on their website about how racism is bad and the /pol/tards took it as a personal attack

>>17570922
Nomos is a brand that makes nice watches that's owned by people that embody all the worst characteristics of the german people

>>17570927
>the hands and case are shockingly mediocre.
Just say it's not to your taste. You're not qualified to speak on the quality of its manufacturing or its construction.

>>17570934
when did I even insinuate that I had any gripes about the quality of the manufacturing or construction? is it possible to have a conversation about watches without making it into some kind of stupid sportsball match but for watch brands?

>when did I even insinuate that I had any gripes about the quality of the manufacturing or construction?
By calling the case mediocre. That is a statement on quality, not your personal taste.

>>17570942
>is it possible to have a conversation about watches without making it into some kind of stupid sportsball match but for watch brands?

Not here and not with midwits like you.

>>17570948
ok fine, I think the cosmetic quality of the finishing is mediocre and half assed

I have no doubt that the hardness, abrasion resistance, and whatever other ways you might measure "quality" are just fine, if not superior to many similarly priced watches

happy now sperg?

this is my current watch, easy to dress up and dress down what you guys think?

>>17570954
Was that really so hard?
Nice redditspacing, by the way.

>>17570961
most of the time,

when people talk about watches at this level

(other than rolextards)

they are not talking about the exact kind of steel used in the case

but if you prefer to talk like a rolextard then

I can see why you might consider that an important metric

Guys please recommend me 3 watches.
I'm currently in a polycule with a girl and a guy.
We decided we wanted matching watches but with enough room to express our personalities.
I like more muted tones and I guess dress watches. The guy in our 'Cule is pretty athletic and likes the color blue. So I'm guessing a diver? And my girlfriend likes flowery things.
She likes the Tissot PRX I showed her.
Thanks in advance

Well what do you spend your money on, is spending anything smart? Spend nothing! Save save save and don’t enjoy anything, die with a load of cash……. You sound like my father. There is a balance, I have a lot of nice watches, I don’t drink, smoke or whatever. I can promise you the average person blows a Rolex on stupid stuff every few years. I have a nice house in a good area, my Rolex’s retail their value and my omegas do too (bought used) and I drive a nicer car than I should but it’s within my means, I have investments and other assets.

>>17570916
Then 99% of people with cars shouldn’t have them, they should all be on the bus! You’ll never understand, when you are making 6 figures 10k really isn’t that much money, after you have a couple of 100k in the bank it all becomes numbers and means nothing.
