Weekend wrist check.

>Bought my father his dream watch a little over 2 years ago, Breitling Navtimer B01 (dark blue dial, white subdials)
>Fast forward last week, have to deal with another one of his violent moods and he tosses the watch at me - I put it on the table and leave it there, in case he changes his mind in the coming hours..
>A week later it's now somewhere on the corner on the floor, been there for the entire week

So what do I do with it?
I don't think I'll be comfortable wearing it myself, but afraid selling it would be tough - worried an AD would give me way less than what I paid for it, second hand might attract very sketchy types.. Advice would be great

>>17579752
Did you tell him you're actually a girl? Why was he mad? It's his watch dont sell it lmao fucking Indian giver

>>17579752
Yes a dealer will give you way less than what you paid for it. Hope you didn't pay anywhere near MSRP for a Breitling.

>>17579755
He has some pretty sure behavioural issues, typical boomer problem I'm guessing
>>17579756
Hey man, it was his dream watch - I wanted to give him the full experience at the time and bought it new at an AD.
Chrono24 shows them not having dropped in price at all so far, in my area at least - but I'm not sure how closely this resembles reality.

>>17579721

>>17579750
Good evening.

>>17579721

>>17579762
a dealer isn't going to offer you anywhere near what they sell it for. you can try and sell it private if you want but you can get a pretty deep discount on most new breitlings at an AD

>>17579715
I want a tank "sdelano v sssr" dial one.

fellow poorfags NEVER buy a watch with the PT5000.
I have a San Martin and the experience is atrocious. It runs fine and precisely until it just breaks. Fist time the date set lever in the keyless works snapped.
Opening the watch it seems ok but with the loupe one can notice the movement is very dirt: fibers and specs everywhere. The winding always felt very coarse and really it's due to the amount of filth in there.
Second time after some months the third wheel's pivot snapped. The wheel also misses a tooth and the arbor came off.
Basically it's made out of chinesium and it's collapsing.
The watch never fell or has been mistreated.
If you buy a cheap shitter just buy one with a Miyota or a NH35A or an Orient, they are ugly and coarse but at least they will last decades without servicing.
The PT5000 doesn't look cheap and it's very well machined, but the steel used is utter shit and it's probably assembled in a dildo factory or some other shit sold on Wish

>>17579721
I want to re-case this as it keeps really good time and is simple, but have no clue where to find a vintage 34mm (I think) case. The chrome plating is peeling off this brass one.

>>17579769

>>17579752
Just sell it on eBay? You won't have to deal with anyone in person, you should get roughly what the watch is worth and it's all done through a trusted site.

>>17579792
>Just sell it on eBay?
This is terrible advice, ebay is hell for sellers. Also if you sell more then $600 worth sof stuff in a year they will report it as income to the irs

>>17579842
How is eBay hell for sellers? Genuinely curious because I was debating selling a watch on there.

>>17579804
>Buying something that looks like a minimalist piece of shit microbrand for the price of a Rolex

Why?

>>17579858
Rolex is played out gramps. The spell is broken. Real connoisseurs aren’t interested in those dog watches.

>>17579762
The best place to sell is Reddit r/watchexchange desu. Don’t have to deal with the bullshit of chrono/eBay, can just have them paypal you the money directly and be done with it.

>>17579858
It looks fucking cool

>>17579858
Who said anything about buying it?

>>17579856
Paypal/ebay will side with buyers 100% of the time. Somone could buy a watch from you marked no returns, wear it for two weeks, scrach it up and crease the strap and then open a dispute and say the watch isn't as described and then you are stuck giving them a full refund. Shit like that.
I think they take a 25% cut now, might even be 30%.

>>17579866
Paypall will claw back money from you too, make sure you never have a paypal account linked to your bank account. They will pull money righrt out of your bank to refund somone who opens a dispute.

Guys serious question:
Why do people buy watches in the $100-$700 range? Everything a cheap Seiko does a Casio can do just as good.
They literally have dive watches, dress watches even a daydate clone. They just released a royal oak clone which looks really good and Im not talking about the gshocks. I see no reason to pay 500 bucks for a shitty Seiko for a shitty mechanical just so you can say you own mechanical watches. I mean picrel costs $50.
Watches get interesting in the low $1000 region. Even shitter movements like 2824 are +-2sec if regulated by a good watch maker.
Truly puzzles me.

>>17579876 forgott picrel

>>17579876
Because Casios look like shit.

>>17579710
square watch for 100$?

>>17579876
>Guys serious question:
>Why do people buy watches in the $100-$700 range?
Serious answer: because saving up for something is boring.

And it's not the 100-700 range, it's really anything less than about 5000-6000.

There's the watch you really want, so you start saving, waiting, waiting, waiting, while everyone else is getting updoots for posting their latest microshitter wrist-roll.
It takes months, if not years, and as soon as you're ready to buy, Rolex (let's be honest, it was always Rolex) raises their MSRP and whatever shitcoin you were investing in tanks due to a new meme.
On the other hand, if you buy a microshitter, you get that sweet consoomer dopamine rush every time. You can post wristshots and even collection shots and tell yourself that you're still saving, even if you aren't.

>>17579750
>>17579769
Evening gents.

>>17579899
So they end up buying like 6 $500 watches instead of getting one good watch

>>17579750
I wear this one. Super light and I think it looks cool. :)

>>17579899
>ready to buy, Rolex (let's be honest, it was always Rolex)
This. I laugh at the fucking poorfags not being able to buy one lmao. Picrel my baby I got last August (wait time 4 months since I actually have an influental job)

>>17579910
Exactly, worse still, when they decide to "liquidate" their collection to get the watch they wanted in the first place, they can't sell that dogshit for more than $250 apiece (and I'm being generous).

>>17579876
I don’t know, there’s a lot of cool, fun watches in the sub 1000 category. I love this lil shitter for instance. Then there’s Marathon, Oceanus etc. It’s not too much money to piss away, wear it for a few months and let it go at a loss or give it to a friend etc. I think 1500-4000 is kind of the cope zone desu. Some starter Breitlings or Tudors are nice but shit like Oris, Rado, Longines, Fortis, Ball, Baume and Mercier etc are big time no gos.

If it's an islander it's both at once.

Why do people love in house movements?
I'd rather have a well known widely used movement in my watch that is easily servicable than some obscure shit

>>17580022
I think for most people it's about what you're getting for the price. If a company is charging a lot for a watch with an in house movement it's easier to understand because it's expensive to develop your own movement and you're getting kind of a unique piece nobody else is making, and that's kind of fun and exclusive and cool. If they're charging a lot for a watch with an off the shelf seiko or miyota or sellita movement it's harder to justify.

>>17580022
I think whether I want an in house or not depends on the movement itself. Some in house movements are great but others are pretty mediocre. On the other hand there are 3rd party movements that go beyond what some companies can do in house that are really great like the UWD movement Sinn uses in their 6200 model. I would agree though that sometimes it's nice to have a common movement like an ETA or Sellita for easy of servicing and the fact that you know exactly what you're getting as opposed to taking a chance on an in house movement that hasn't yet been run through it's paces.

How about depleted uranium, has anyone done that?

>>17580055
I'll try to phrase it in a more straightforward fashion since you seem dense. Whether or not a Casio Oceanus is worth $500 is not in question here. There is no watch in the sub-$100 range that has the particular set of features a Casio Oceanus has, and that is why people who want that particular set of features buy it. A $500 dollar watch.

>>17580059
>The first anti-anti-magnetic watch!
This watch would be a radical detour to the way we think watches are made. Whereas normal watches look to shield their movements from the effects of magnetism or make them immune to it, this watch goes the other way. It embraces the magnet. The watch IS the magnet.

>>17580079
it would be pretty based if it was strong enough to magnetize watches nearby

>>17580081
No watch is safe from the magnet monster.

Realistically how much damage did I do? I didn't use my full arms length to shake it up and down, more like flicked my wrist/made the jerk off motion 10-20 times

You can jerk with your watch all you like, anon, watches are made with that in mind. Knock yourself out.

>>17579710
I posted last thread but didn't give much information. I am going to swap one my current Grand Seiko for a Grand Seiko SBGA029. It is about 1/3rd the price of a Rolex Submariner, so I can't just buy a Rolex instead

>>17580162
Don't buy it

>>17580168
I'm not really buying it, I'm swapping another Grand Seiko for it (which you guys probably already hate). Any reason why you think I shouldn't?

You can buy both for 600 bucks max, so just go for the meantime with either and next month buy the other. Kino look on both these shitters

>>17580376
I don't want two watches though, I only want one
Just need to decide which to pick...

>>17580380
Depends then on your tastes and preferences. Bambino is timeless and goes well with everything, but obviously not as durable and "fun"

>>17580065
Hey thats mine

So Seiko really killed its smooth sweep quartz line you were able to buy for $200 just so it wouldn't compete with their Grand Shitters right?

>>17580404
Why would anyone want a 4hz shitter that drains the batteries in 2 years over a premium dead seconds movement that lasts a decade?

Yeah that's the issue, I like both of them and they'd both kind of go with my style
Probably purely looks wise I prefer the bambino a bit, but yeah the durability of the kamasu is a big plus

Why do people like you who have no knowledge of watches even post. They included technology so the seconds hand would be just as smooth as a spring drive. You cant see any ticking with the naked eye.

>>17580264
The Yacht Master is a $20 DHGate extreme shitter. Not worth buying. If the other one is truly a "Peugeot" it's likely some promotional watch they gave free with a car and is equally worthless.

>>17580404
Does Bulova still make such watches? I recall seeing their tuning fork range for cheap around 10 years ago.

>>17580415
Go kamasu. Maybe black one, not as fun, but can be dressed up more easily and substitute the bambino. But bambino wont substitute the kamasu

>>17580439
They do but they are really ugly. I really dont get it. They could make so much money offering great design with a unique movement but then they put those in picrel

So the CEO of my company who has a net worth of 152 million according to google and has his own wikipedia page just posted pictures of the black tie event he went to yesterday and he wore this $200 Citizen as far as I can tell from the pictures.

Try it on before you buy it. With the rotating bezel taking up a lot of space the dial is absolutely tiny and the watch will look miniscule. It does not wear like a 36mm Datejust.

I'll stop you right there. I'm just saying to try it on first. If you have slender wrists it might work. If your wrists are around 7" though, it will not.

>>17580581
>If your wrists are around 7" though, it will not.

This. My AD had one in stock and I tried it out. It is a very small watch, and not in a "vintage watches were all small" way. This feels smaller than my Dad's 37mm Seamaster 120 from the 1970s.

It does not feel like a vintage watch, it's still heavy. It still has the Tudor slab-sided case. It has all the chunky feel of the larger Black Bays.

I get why Tudor made it. More sizes means it's accessible to more buyers, especially that more women are getting into watches beyond "put diamonds on it." Personally, I think the 58 is the sweet spot size for an average man's wrist.

>>17580589
>According to early 00 sensibilites?
The 44mm extremes of the 2000s are thankfully fading away, but dive watches were always big, they're meant to be big. The first Fifty Fathoms was 42mm. Skin divers were never actually divers. They were watches with some waterproofing that LOOKED like real dive watches. When dive watches were required tools for divers, none of them used a "skin diver".

The real reason that watches are getting smaller again is that dress/casual watches are coming back around. Like that Longines in your post. That would look absurd at 40mm.

>>17580595
Indeed it does. Look at this 42mm Zulu time, same style

They are but they are incredibly over priced for what they do. Just get a chink diver from Ali they will all be just as good as the Seiko but way cheaper or better yet get a casio g shock.

There is no bigger cope group than Seiko owners. You can talk trash about any brand but Seikocels will defend their shitty watches to death.
Come on say something that proves how fragile Seiko owners are.

No one really cares about the left columns, tho. Chartanon should actually cut them.

>>17580807
I just think that people care way too much about specs when what matters is how it wears and looks. I've never seen a good looking Orient diver in my life despite how good (((value))) they appear. Same reason I'd still buy a Sinn even after they raise their prices year on year. Design and brand matter the most to me, it's just a different perspective moreso than defending a particular brand, in this case Seiko

honestly even the entry level Luxury list should be cut

I currently have a 14060m that I'm debating on selling for either a 5 digit gmt or the new sub. Between 14060m, 16710, and 124060 what would you choose?

>>17580832
How much are you paying for lifestyle advice rich retard?

>>17580804
Poorfags be seething in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

>>17580832
Get a 16710

>>17580832
I like the 14060M best of all three. It's the most classic Submariner, the right mix of modern and vintage. I hate the ceramic Sub. It's just a piece of jewelry. The GMT-Master II...if you like it, that's fine, but it's not my taste.

Since the last, maybe ten years, all watches are jewelry, my dude. Accept that already and enjoy this hobbie freely.

Watches are made with that in mind. Fucking OBVIOUSLY

>>17580842
I do love the 14060m, but the strap bothers me. It's a bit too tight on me and too big if I remove a cuff link. I've grown to like the new subs as I see them in person. The proportions look good provided you have a larger wrist size. For the gmt, the complication is nice and the new one's look too different from the 5 digit. The new sub at least has most of the old dna.

>>17580150
Anon you can't just shake a watch. You should send it in for service. Odds are very good you rattled something in the movement out of position and as the watch runs it will probably cause more and more damage to the movement over time until it eventually breaks and you need to replace the whole thing.

>like the railmaster
>dont know if Im actually coping

>>17580844
Nice. Put Tudor in cope watch though because it is the number 1 cope watch brand

>>17580832
The new sub looks great but I've read terrible things about the 32xx movement.

Just gotten the watch I always wanted. A 114270 in near mint condition from my uncle. Had to help him build his house for a year (Im a carpenter) and as a thanks he gave me the watch. He had it in a safe for ages.
See ya assholes, no need to be in this thread anymore.

>>17580875
It’s really underwhelming in person. I used to really want one but realized I’d be better off with an aqua terra. Then I realized I just actually wanted a Seamaster since I grew up with boats and fishing and shit.

Sweet dial but that handset is JUST tier, not a huge fan of the indices either. For such a detailed textured dail the hands and indices shoud be very simple and unobtrusive.

>>17580990
pretty much. Seems like a good option for those who wouldnt want cut off numerals

Kamasu on a Strapcode bracelet.

>>17580948
They need to chill out on the meme designs and develop a coherent design language. You could remove the logo and tell me it was one of a dozen different brands and I'd believe you. They have serious watchmaking chops but their designs are all over the place.

>>17580441
>>17581000
I tried on a friends 42mm watch and it was a bit bigger than I'd like so that'll have to be a no to the kamasu desu lads

>>17581030
All 42mm watches are not the same. Lug to lug is a factor, dial and bezel size etc. Kamasu is not quite 42mm

>>17581035
shieeet...
do you know any places in London that might have them so I can try one on?

>>17581041
I do not but good luck in your search. Hell of a watch for a small price to pay.

>>17580560
Usually I don't care much for modern stuff but this has me thinking about selling a bunch of watches and buying one.
>>17580540
Nice. Is it steel? Probably not, but whatever. A nice dark brown cordovan folded strap with box stitching.

>>17580624
Anyone buying a Sub really should have to save for a Sub or any Luxury watch, you should have some money in the bank 4x to 10x the watch. For you first watch and if you have a few watches it should be closer to the 10x of the price of the collection.

And for all the guys with the shitter collections, same goes for youes, you will fine the guy with 10k or so in watches is being more responsible that the guy with 1k in watches.

How can a 6k watch look so boring? Looks like some €150 mall shitter.

I have begun my joruney into the word of the occult what is a watch commerate this for $3-4k dollars ?

If there are an equal amount of removable links on both sides of the clasp and you need to remove one more is there a rule of thumb for which side of the braclet to remove it from?

>>17581242
you will not find a watch more demonic than this

>>17581269
You remove from both until you're close, then take one from whatever side will put the clasp closer to the middle of your wrist, because that's generally the most comfortable place. It's often worth trying some weird positions like +1/2 on one side depending on the shape of your wrist.

>>17581269
The shorter length of the bracelet should be the one on the inside of the wrist, so the one that connects to the 6 oclock

you know why they call them tool watches?
you gotta be a tool to buy them

>>17579912
Neat. I didn't know they made with a mesh band.

>>17581274

>>17581044
Doesn't seem to have physical stores anywhere
Maybe there is a watch that has a similar fit and would be a close representation?

Doesn't look drastically smaller than the 58 when you put it right beside it like this. Tudor really should just put the damn t-fit clasp on the 58 already.

>>17581325
Orient Mako and Ray 2 have the same case.

>>17581326
Uh it does. Look how tiny the dial is.

>>17581333
Not drastically so, that's why that wording is there. There's also more to a watch than just the dial, the lugs look chunkier proportionally on the 54 than the 58.

>>17581326
>Doesn't look drastically smaller than the 58 when you put it right beside it like this.
Put it on your wrist, though. That's the ultimate test.

>>17581347
Yea that's true, there's only so much that pictures can tell you.

>>17581269
I found myself removing links so as for the clasp to stay directly opposite to the watch when worn. Cutting "adjustable" silicone/rubber bands to fit is also a matter of measure thrice, cut once.

>>17581283
Common wisdom is the opposite of this. Having less links on the 12 o'clock side pushes the watch head up to stay flat

What's the modern equivalent to this watch.

What's the modern equivalent to this watch?

>>17581332
I meant from other brands that I might actually find in a shop in town

>>17581461
Not exactly the same, but pretty close i'd say.

>>17581469
Buy one from Amazon UK. Don’t unwrap and try it on. If it fits keep it, if not send it back for a full refund. Best of luck homie

>>17581496
hmm, maybe, or maybe I might as well order from the official Orient site

>>17581542
Amazon will be cheaper most likely but knock yourself out Bub.

>>17581227
your watch is shit and you are a fake inclusive woketard tryhard

>>17581543
The prices are the same and orient has faster delivery and no import duties

Lindbergh was a gigachad

>>17581578
I was just thinking about watches with a proper Roman IV instead of IIII "muh symmetry" cope and reaslied I've never seen one until now.

>>17581583
The romans used IIII.

>>17581154
>>17581227
Regardless if you are fat or skinny, 37mm for a diver is small. 37mm for a dress watch without a bezel is perfect. Their is a reason 40-42mm divers are a standard.

>>17581326
yes it does, the 58 is already a small watch.


You fuckers will go on about this for months, until you see it in person and reasise oh its small and in 4-5 months you will all be screaming how much of a kids watch / womans watch it is.

>>17581643
The first rolex submariner was also 37mm.

>>17581326
A real photo of the watchs, side by side. I might by my daugher one.

>>17581653
How different is the shade of black on the dial in person though? Matte vs sunray would make it look different after all.

>>17581653
Left looks bland, it's really missing out on the pop of color.

>>17581647
and what of it? Thank you first Rolex for beta testing watch sizes, they got bigger for a reason.

>>17581662
Yea 'cause americans got fatter over the past 70 years.

>>17581677
yea and the 54 is for the chinese women with 4.5* wrist. The watch blogs and youtubes have pushed 54 as OH next big thing. The new 41 it much better 0 coverage, Tudors shit QC and movements shitting the bed, anyone looking at a 54 would be better buying an Omega AT 38mm.

>>17579876
Sometimes you find winners in that category. Heck, even the Seagull 1963 is around 250$. Column-wheel chronograph with an historically reliable movement (though the Chinese quality control is mediocre at best in the modern iterations). For many, it's their first mechanical hand-wound chronograph. Also, all of the digitals and beater watches are in that category too. It's a gateway drug.

They get just enough wrong with the aesthetic proportions to make the watch look ugly. If they did 1:1 for their price, then they'd get my respect.

You should get a watchmaker to look at it. If it's stopping of its own accord, there might be issues you can take care of before more damage is done.

Do you guys buy used watches or just brand new? Why?

quick, post your favourite cock watches

>>17582377
I bought new when it came to a microbrand as I didnt care about the hassle of looking.
I would easily buy used, if it came to an overpriced generic brand like LaCo or Stowa.
Im eyeing that 36mm Marine, but Im not paying 900 euroshekels for one.
