/fa/ - Fashion

Gonna bite the bullet and finally buy the Sinn I've been wanting for the last 6 months. When ordering it should I buy it with the biggest bracelet option or do they send me the spare links? I've never bought a watch where I've had this option before

>>17583895
what is Islander's bracelet policy?

Need some watch suggestions, here are some specs and explanations
> 150 euro
> Whatever type an explorer or prx is
> Prefer automatic but it's not a must
> Metal strap

I currently own 2 watches. One is a DW5600 g shock which I use daily at work. I'm a civil engineer and work at construction sites so it fits perfectly. My second watch is a Zeppelin Atlantic (pic rel) which is use for more upscale occasions. Is like to have an offwork daily driver and in my mind an explorer type watch fits great. I'm open to suggestions tho. I like the PRX but my Atlantic is 250 euros and I am always aware not to damage it, I can't daily driver a 400+ euro one.

>>17583906
For that price you can get either a Casio edifice or a Timex. Neither will be automatic though.

>>17583906
I'd suggest something from Citizen like the BM8470-11EE

>>17583895
Unless Sinn has some weird shit going on these days, manufacturers will give you the full length and it's up to you to go to a watch maker and get it properly sized.

What's the watch with the most technically impressive movement between 1k and 5k CHF?
Around 10-20k I could get a perpetual calendar which is super fancy but at that price point I won't be comfortable wearing it on most occasions so it's a waste imo.

>>17583934
Citizen Chronomaster. Oh, sorry, you were asking for junk. I don't know, whatever has a tourbillon in it?

>>17583895
As big as it comes and buy some quality tools to size it yourself. The tools will last a lifetime and you'll never have to go to a shop to have it done again.

>>17583934
Honestly, you're too below the mark. Try 5k - 10k maybe

>>17583940
>shitizen
I meant something good, not chink

>>17583942
>buy some quality tools to size it yourself.
I size my bracelets with a literal 1 dollar tool, it has springbar shit on one end, and a little rounded pointy bit on the other for quick adjusts.

>>17583901
>>17583910
Can you haters get a life? Nobody asked your opinion on a microbrand.

>>17583946
I know you didn't want anything good, I was just making fun of you. You don't care about time keeping, you don't care about finishing, you want a gay little story you can tell to your buddies at the bar about how some swiss kike kissed your watch with his magic lips and that means it has a soul due to this one fancy part. Like I said, just buy whatever has a tourb. It's perfect for you, gives you everything you want.

>>17583934
What do you mean "technically impressive"?
If you mean in terms of engineering then probably an Accutron Spaceview or a spring drive Grand Seiko. If you just want a perpetual calendar, then Frederique Constant makes some in that price range.

Functionally, is there much difference between the radio synced citizen Promaster series and the radio synced / solar powered G-Shocks like the GWM5610 ? Keyword functionally, like is there something one can to the other can't? Disregarding aesthetics

>>17583955
>Frederique Constant makes some in that price range
Rather, you can sometimes find them in that price range.

Is there anything you're excited to see at the Windup Watch Fair?

>>17583955
Good recs, thank you.

>>17583964
No, but I've seen a couple Maen watches lately and they look prettygood irl.

>>17583968
Seems like they just make homages.

>>17583964
Can't wait to see the new watches that Islander will be presenting!

>>17583970
I don't care they look and feel nice.

>>17583973
Which watches in particular are you interested in?

>>17583972
Correct answer. marc will be there in person so make sure to stop by and say hello.

>>17583964
Some real shitter brands there

>>17583983
Yep. Bulova, G-Shock and Maurice Lacroix are the only good ones there.

>>17583983
>>17583984
How? I haven't heard of all of them but most of the ones I've heard of are decent.

>>17583983
Hey, come on now. There's ebay. I get all my watches from them.

What is going on at Oris? They're good watches of course but every single watch they make is so fucking boring. I feel like I'd be bored with them in 20 minutes.

>>17583964
>Minase
Hey, that's what all my inner city friends call me - Minase Monster.

>>17583974
No idea, I held a couple and they seemed nice.

>>17583964
What a fucking sponser, amazing

How much do waiters make after tip? my waiter was wearing a rolex explorer

>>17583998
Some of these watches are looking pretty clean, honestly. They use ETA movements.

>>17583964
Oh look! A collection of shitters brands.

>>17584003

>What is going on at Oris? They're good watches of course but every single watch they make is so fucking boring. I feel like I'd be bored with them in 20 minutes.

The market currently seems to want plainer, more conservative watches, in contrast to the more outlandish watches of the 2000s and 2010s. picrel.

>>17584003
It's endlessly hilarious to me how "living wage" activists are always screaming how unfair it is that service workers make less than minimum wage and have to "scrape by" on tips and they deserve to make a decent reliable wage, meanwhile all of the remotely decent servers wish they'd shut the fuck up because waitstaff quietly makes more money than the fucking managers in the restaurant. But pointing that out would put the idea in people's heads that they don't need to tip so much to help people survive and that would also fuck with their money. It's a real Catch 22.

>>17584003
It was a $300 rep

>>17584004
That's Invicta tier ugly.

>>17584004
Holy shit dude

>>17584016
But every watch they make is $5-15 thousand dollars, they HAVE to be good, right?

>>17584003
A good waiter that gets to keep all their tips will make more than anyone else in that place. We share with everyone so on average it's about 20% on top of what I make after taxes, which is a very decent amount because I make a decent salary.

>>17584021
>Yes, I want literal flowery cancer on a round dial, suspended in a rectangular case, on my wrist, thank you.

>>17584027
But just think how cool it's going to look when you can see your wrist through the case, whoa! It's like it's an invisible watch.

>>17584007
The fact that they kind of just look like the same watch? Every watch they make just looks so ordinary. All the divers are just divers. If you have ever seen a diver you know exactly what their diver looks like. They have a rectangle watch that looks exactly like a Cartier. If you randomly doodle a watch on paper there's probably an Oris that looks exactly like it that you can buy.

Even the guy in charge of Oris doesn't seem that interested in Oris. He'd rather make small talk with literal muppets than put some blood into making an interesting watch.

There was an anon a few threads back that was interested in comparison pics of the 556 and the 656, here's one. Let me know if you want to know anything specific and I'll answer as best I can.

>Bruh, imagine we did a date pointer but it's actually a DAY pointer, and we put in a regular date window!
Such bloodless design.

>>17584004
Minase also uses Sallaz lapping machines.

>>17583996
They're in the price and design dead zone. They tried to branch out with the Pro Pilot X 115 which presumably no one bought and was pretty relentlessly mocked and deservedly so. Then they try to virtue signal and bundle watches into recycled ocean plastic boxes or some shit - another flop. Their dress watches are horribly proportioned and look like $300 mall watches. Now they just keep churning out Big Crown Pointer Dates and random divers.

They're like Tudor but a lot more incoherent. I would never buy an Oris. If I was shopping in that price range I'd buy a Tudor for a sports watch and a Nomos as a dress watch that actually has a strong design and well decorated movement for the money.

>>17584056
I'm going to assume that's either really really good, or really really bad.

>>17584065
Also called Zaratsu, very good.

>>17584061
Why did people mock pro pilot x 115? It's not really my thing but as skeletonized watches go it seems okay.

>>17584027
You WILL respect the 'mum

>>17583964
I'm unironically excited to see what the new Islander Manhasset colors are.

Thoughts?PNRRW

Does anybody know anything about Norquain? It seems like they mostly make a bunch of oddly busy looking watches in dive cases and their name is a little close to "narcan" for my liking.

>>17584069
it's $8000, too big, extremely questionable bracelet design, brags about 10 day power reserve but the watch is huge and not COSC certified, and they went with a "natural" titanium finish (read: unfinished). Then they flew out the big watch YouTubers to see it (and also paid for their hotels) who had reactions mixing from blatant shilling with literal corporate lines to ambivalence. The cope is that this would be a halo product or that it was the first step forward for Oris into the higher end market, but that was 3 years ago and they haven't come out with anything decent or even very interesting since.

>>17584103
Microbrand. Just a half-step above dropship shitters. They use Kenissi movements for some of their watches, which Tudor uses as well, so that gives them some credibility.

>>17584125
I don't think I saw a single watch on the website that cost less than $4k, so they better be more than a half-step above alibaba.

>>17584127
"Swiss made" is worth about 3800 dollars.

>>17584065
Really, really bad. Zaratsu polishing is a meme

>>17584117
I didn't realize how sloped the endlinks are on the bracelet. Jesus, they almost dig straight fucking down into the top of your wrist?

>>17584259
It must honestly be hell being a rolexfag - holding yourself in such high esteem because you have the means to by an expensive and iconic watch everyone recognizes while at the same time knowing you're still too poor to buy a truly legendary piece of timekeeping art. You're stuck in the McDonald's of high end watches coping like you're eating filet mignon.

If the earth is flat how does solar power work?

>>17584273
If the earth is flat how does GMT works?

>>17584276
What is the actual flat earther answer for this? I'm guessing it's that you're just going by where the big swinging lightbulb is directly over the flat earth to determine where noon is. I'm also guessing flat earthers don't tend to be watch enthusiasts?

>>17584279

>>17584283
How come the moon gets to be round? And where's snoopy?

>>17584279
No watch complications actual work on the notion that the earth is flat or round. They all work independently based on an arbitrary but unanimously agreed concept that is the current time.

>>17584285
Time zones are not arbitrary though?

>>17584287
They're not but to a watch it's just keeping time based on what is perceived to be the current time in the area.

>>17584288
... And what is that perception based on?

>>17584293
I know it's the rotation of the earth. Just saying on it's core time is just an arbitrary number and watches and their complications just follow that.

>>17584297
Might as well add, to a flat earther, it's not the rotation of the earth but the orbiting sun and moon. So it's the same concept.

>>17584298
I don't think flat earthers have orbits though? They think the sun and moon just move back and forth over the sky.

>>17584300
Whatever. But they follow the same 24h in a day format so watches work for them.

Everything is vanity. This is the first watch I ever purchased and is still the best watch. Throwing the other ones in the trash desu.

I want a Pelagos so bad bros. I don't care about the wall of text

If Casio is Japanese why is it in English?

>>17584496
47mm lug to lug, and his wrist is pretty small.

I have a Seiko SPB143J and twice people have told me they thought it was a Sub.
first time a couple months ago, a waitress told my friends she "was sure Rolex here would foot the bill".
today at a get-together a guy was running a raffle for a current year model truck at $1,500usd a number, I told him no thanks and he told me "ah I'm sure you can spare a number, you could buy 10 of them just with that watch right there".
I like my watch but now I feel like selling it because I feel really self-conscious afterwards. like I subconsciously hide my left wrist so they won't realize it's actually a Seiko.

>>17583886
just bought the apple watch, mainly for /fit/ness purposes, but whats the best watch face for that? should i switch up the face depending on what im wearin?

>>17584422
>Only 5 bar water resistance.
Water resistance has basically nothing to do with how durable a watch is. If you frequently smash the glass with a hammer by mistake, maybe you'd need something with higher water resistance because they usually put thicker glass in those. Realistically, you're never going to encounter a situation that breaks a thin crystal.

>>17584317
Orient Kamasu

>>17584222
No, I need less.

>>17584648
It being a little thinner than the old black bays is nice, but still kinda THICC though.

>>17584671
For me it's black watch with black genuine Milanese and black California dial face.

>>17584707
i like that one its classy. i might start using that one more
im currently using the contour one with storm blue which i feel fits with most clothing. it looks like an outline from a distance

>>17584670
this wouldn't have happened with an islander watch, you could wear it in pride

>>17584714
I find that any face on an Apple Watch which isn't square and doesn't have a black dial looks shit as you can obviously tell where the screen ends. And I've wanted a California dial Panerai when I was younger but despite being 6'4 I am a complete handlet and wristlet, so this is an acceptable cope for me.

For me, it's the GW-S5600U-1JF

Plz help... which color? Left or right. Irgnore the difference in straps, only thinking about the face color here

Plz help... which face color? Left or right. Irgnore the difference in straps

>>17584723
Whats the difference betweent that and the GW-M5610 ?

>>17584725
Black face with bracelet looks better. In my head blue with bracelet doesn't look as good.

>>17584725
it's somewhat transparent and the case and band is partly made of carbon making it the lightest square gshock there is
for that money id get the gw5000u though it's even more overbuilt than the regular square gshock a with its inner metal case and i like the dial more

What else would a bracelet policy be?

I’ve been having to wear a lot of business casual for work recently and all of my current watches are to thick to fit under my shirt cuffs properly.

Would a cocktail time be my best under $500 option for a thinner “dress watch”?

>>17584797
What are your current watches? Unless you're wearing invictas and panerais you should probably be looking at quartz

Have you considered just getting your shirts made with an allowance for a watch on that wrist?

>>17584316
Checks out.

>>17584797
Just do like some of our resident autists and wear a watch so big your cuff slips under the watch.

>>17584797
Either that or the Orient Bambino

>>17584797
I'd suggest something more like a classic sports watch in the style of an Explorer because they're really tough and versatile and look good with just about anything. Almost every company makes their own version of it in slightly different styles and a lot of them are affordable, if you get it on a bracelet and get a spring bar tool it's really easy to change it up for any kind of look you want depending on what you're wearing just by putting different kinds of straps on it. I think the real key to saving money on watches is getting a few watches that can do a lot of things well. Dressy watches tend to be only dress watches, which is limiting and lame.

Why hasn't there ever been a watch with a Cuban link bracelet?

>>17584707
I don't understand the point of the california dial, why does this exist?

>>17584822

>>17584834

>>17584827
For people who can't figure out up from down.

>>17584853
Yeah but it already has unique markers for 12 and 6 like most other watches designed for this in mind already do.

>That shit machining

That is one of the ugliest watches I've seen in a long time.

>>17584822
Why would i buy this instead of getting a san martin ranger knockoff for $200?

>>17584807
Two divers from Orient and Seiko, and a Laco pilot which I thought was a thicc boi, but looking it up only measures in at 11.75mm. So a little smaller than the Presage at 11.8mm. Which means either getting the wrists tailored or a quartz might be my best bet.

>>17584815
Honestly my second choice, and debating a bit because they are pretty inexpensive.

>>17584822
I think I’d run into the same issue of the watch just being to thick in an explorer style. Unless I go quarts which opens up a lot of options.

>>17584859
Islander isn't even mentioned in that post. Take your meds.

>>17584842
Looks basically the same as a regular explorer with massive Arabic numerals that look like shit.

>>17584863
Because it's a San Martin.

>>17584863
Why the fuck does San martin homage the Tudor watches but not actual Rolex in most cases? I like their black bay pro but I'm not going to buy because of the snowflake hands, why don't they just use Mercedes hands

>Islander isn't even mentioned in that post

>>17584865

this anon summed it up perfectly: >>17584861

>>17584871
They do a Sub and Datejust but the date windows are shit on both, too much magnification. I wish there was a way of buying the better fakes without having to email/WhatsApp some Wu Ping and waiting 30 days to receive a busted movement watch.

Sorry, my bad. I'm still not used to the concept of blacks owning goods...
Or being free, for that matter.

>>17584874
You really think someone who wears a suit to work every day couldn’t afford an IWC of all things?

>>17584931
People doubted me that all you need to do to troll the high end watchfags is talk about affordable watches by small brands, but they prove time and again that they will jump at the opportunity to try to shit on them and get their superiority complex kicking. In this thread we even saw them get twitchy over Islander when Islander wasn't even mentioned by name.

>>17584919
>/wt/ is dying
The amazing thing about /wt/ is that new insane schizos show up who are so mentally ill they scare off the old insane schizos who already killed the threads years ago.
Im actually kind of impressed they managed to scare away the Brazilian neet who demanded that anyone who posted a nice watch give him money.

The logo is right there, you stupid inbred mong

For all anyone here knows all of these pictures could be you in the fitting room at Macy's 3 weeks ago.

i remember the guy who used to post his Seiko PADI nonstop

>>17584966
Yeah, now look inward and you will understand how dire that is.

>>17584970
>he's STILL seething
You might need to walk away bro. Think of your health.

>>17584963
Wow nice rep, must be a better factory with that level of quality.

>>17584963
>>17584975
is this really a rep? how can you tell?

>>17584981
It's not. He's just jelly

>>17584964
I know that's why it's so based. People can't get over themselves and have to shit on (((Marc))) and (((Long island watch)))

>>17584955
Which watches doesn't look shit then?

>>17584960
So every brand is eqauls and i just have to choose the one that fits my preferences and needs?

>>17584999
No that brand is unreliable, unheard of, and likely overpriced for what you get. If you must get chinkshit get a Pagani design or San martin watch. Or just go to reptime and get a fake Rolex or something

>>17584950
>24hr subdial

>>17585004
Ok, can you or another please suggests a watch?
My requirements are:
>Max 400 euros
>Not a sport watch
>I have read the sticky and quartz seems very nice
>The color must be gray
>Not a plastic watch but a metal one

>unheard of
I have to disagree with that. I have seen a lot of people with Breil watches including my father that used to have them.
They seem good to me. I don't know if is chink shit

>>17584966
nta but yeah from what little I've seen so far, I'd rather be the black tranny, sorry lil bro maybe in the next life

>>17585012

>>17584002
>>17584248

>>17585011
You say you don't want a sports watch, but you posted a chronograph earlier. What kind of style are you after exactly? Maybe post a Rolex, Omega, or similar that you like the look of. If not, Tissot PRX quartz is available in your price range.

>>17584945
lol no they don't, not all at least. Most of the 'up and coming' rapper's jewelry and watches are loaned to them by the record label.

>>17585034
It happend to have be a chronograph but i really don't care.
I have choose it because it was cheap, good looking and i knew it was a good brand.
I like that grey metal style.

>>17585042
It's not a good brand. They are chinese watches marketed as Italian just like the other fashion brands.

>>17585052
What's considered good then if every watch goes through the same shit chinese assembly line?

>>17585059
Anything from an actual watch manufacturer is typically a safe bet. Seiko, Citizen, Orient for example.

>>17585059
Islander watches. They are made in America by a guy named Marc. He's a swell chap that sells quality timepieces at an affordable price.

His most desired model is the coveted Islander, featuring sapphire, a ceramic bezel insert and a luxurious japanese movement. That one is a diver, but fret not, on longislandwatch.com you will find plenty of models and styles, including chronographs just like the on your picture

>>17585069
Not a single one of those would exist without chinese manufacturing.

>>17585011
>I have seen a lot of people with Breil watches including my father that used to have them.
You sure that wasn't Breitling?

>>17585076
Yes.

>>17585011
>I have to disagree with that. I have seen a lot of people with Breil watches including my father that used to have them.
LMFAO what the fuck do you live in Zimbabwe or some shit looooooooooooooool
>>17585059
Something that has a price tag for normal people not fucking subhumans?

>>17585069
Aren't Seiko and Orient the same?

>>17585074
It's not a case of utilising Chinese production, as you can get very high quality products made there. It's the fact that fashion brands utilise the absolute cheapest of Chinese components and the cheapest factories which knock out the same product for dozens of "brands" albeit with different logos printed. Seagull, for example, make very good quality movements and watches and they are entirely Chinese. Whoever does the procurement for Breil went to a cheap factory where they use $5 chronograph movements (look up how much a Sunon PE902 costs). With other brands there is a semblance of QC, if you want maximum value for your money then again China has really good offerings from the likes of San Martin who use Seiko and Miyota movements in well finished cases and sapphire crystals.

>>17585079
>do you live in Zimbabwe or some shit
I live in Italy
>Something that has a price tag for normal people not fucking subhumans?
Like what? Tf are you talking about?

>>17585027
kek

Anyway i still didn't find any source that say that Breil watches are made in China.
Most watches manufacters may buy parts in China but they assembly the watch in their country with other components made in their country.

>>17585092
>Like what? Tf are you talking about?
Like $6500 and up retard?

>>17585100
>400 euros is consider subhuman.
Damn

>>17585100
You don't have to pay $6k on a watch to be human fuckface.

>>17585102
that's the price for toy watches

>>17585106
Yeah you do.

>>17585100
>Six fiddy
>Human
Lmfao, even the darkest nigger on Africa can afford an entry level Rolex, you poorfag.
The cut off price starts at $12k for a disposable beater

>>17585097
if you can't find any source on their manufacturing then it's likely china.
other anons are being retarded niggers but it's true that like 99% of these non-traditional watch brands are all just chinese.

also it is in fact true that seiko and such often source parts from china, but most of their lines are assembled in factories that are overseen by the japanese, i.e. quality control is a little more predictable (even if the watch itself is a cheap piece of shit with misaligned chapter rings and such, it'll work well enough)

>>17585011
>>Max 400 euros
>>Not a sport watch
>>I have read the sticky and quartz seems very nice
>>The color must be gray
>>Not a plastic watch but a metal one

As recommended to another anon ITT, get something like this, or a Citizen/Seiko as others mentioned

https://www.junghans.de/en/collection/watches/junghans-radio-control-solar/milano-solar/14406200?c=16

>>17585115
I guess i'm going to get a Seiko then.

For what i understand i have to avoid brand that are owned by companies like Binda, Armani and such because the companies are just brands and not actual manufactuers. They just put the brand name they own to a low quality chinese watch.
Right?

>>17585121
Thank you anon

>>17585121
This is a nice one. I would save up for a max bill quartz though if I were him

>>17585073
There are multiple different lines of Islanders with their own model names, dude. There have one of nearly every popular genre of watch, they must have like 30 models.

>>17585133
That guy was larping as Marc incorrectly

>>17585115
Even the "traditional" ones, whatever that means, are using chinese labor and/or assembly.
>>17585127
Seiko uses a shitton of chinese parts. They have whole models that are made in China in Japanese owned factories that because of weird legal loopholes are still allowed to be called "made in Japan."

>>17585140
Yes but unlike fashion brands you stand a good chance that your watch will actually work when you receive it. It may have misaligned chapter rings and other qc flaws but it will tell the time

>>17585143
You have it completely opposite dude. Seiko's QC is absolute dogshit. Chinese shitters unironically have better QC. I've never seen an alibaba shitter with misaligned indicies and poor regulation. That shit is routine on Seikos.

>>17585127
>For what i understand i have to avoid brand that are owned by companies like Binda, Armani and such because the companies are just brands and not actual manufactuers. They just put the brand name they own to a low quality chinese watch.
>Right?

yeah, but some chinese brands like San Martin are getting pretty good at making watches. they use a Western sounding name but they seem to care about wanting to compete in the watch space so they put in the work to provide some good value

>>17585140
>Even the "traditional" ones, whatever that means, are using chinese labor and/or assembly.
unless something has changed, cheap Seiko watches are assembled in Malaysia with Chinese parts

>>17585133
Do these actually sell well?

>>17585133
Look a those gaudy, tasteless designs. No wonder they are cheap, they have literally no staying power, once the novelty is off you sre supposed to chuck them

>>17585150
They have 4.9 stars on google reviews, you read them and tell me.

>>17585152
>seamaster blue homage
>explorer homage
>explorer homage
I don't like the explorer so I agree and the MOP is really shit but those aren't really tasteless imo

I have now decided for a Seiko SUR341P1.
Opinions?

>>17585150
On reddit they do
>>17585157
They aren't their designs, no wonder they are decent

>>17585162
I guarantee almost every automatic or quartz watch you own is based on another watch from over 70 years ago.

>>17585159
In case you weren't aware, this is an image board.

>>17584702
Why can they make this exact fucking watch without the cringe ass Baby-G branding. I'm a wristlet and want a fucking square that isn't over 40mm

>>17585171

>>17584972
>tfw i'm the only one that remembers the eco-drive fiend and their photon farming
for the best, really

>>17585159
What are you deciding for that watch?

>>17585177
>Good quality
>In my price range
>Looks good

>>17585171
>>17585174
No! It's not a islander watch!
You must buy my islader watyches!!!
Islaaaanderrttt

>>17584963
Looks clown-like on that skelly wrist

>>17585152
The only ones that stand out to me as particularly gaudy is the Port Jefferson """"""""skin divers.""""""" The only one not pictured is a black dial with yellow indicies and red hands that looks like some kind of Pittsburgh Steelers fever dream. Most of their watches even if they're not my thing I can kinda get it, but these ones make me question what the fuck Marc was thinking.
>Hurr they're divers but less waterproof and they come in tacky 1970s kitchen appliance colors!

Why are red Seikos seemingly so rare? Searching usually just leads to a Presage. Very nice but I'm not ready to spend that much right now

>>17585189
It's so hard to like the Presage with how many fags own one

>>17585189
They're trying to distance themselves from their Chinese manufacturing sources.

>>17585192
Does it really matter who else is buying a watch if you like it?

>>17585186
It honestly might be fun to wear one of these to Primanti Bros and have a sandwich with french fries on it while watching a Steelers game. Maybe you could even go to one of the Ohio locations with it on and stir up shit with the Browns fans. That might be a slightly too regional experience though.

Which is objectively better
Orient or Kamasu?

>>17585174
>>17585180
Solar may be worth looking into if you don't want to ever worry about replacing the battery. Looks fine though. EcoDrive is the Citizen equivalent.

Which is objectively better
oatmeal or porridge?

>>17585202
You still have to replace the capacitor. Which is more expensive and harder to find, although you might get 20 years out of it.

I just realized the tax deadline is up. You DID file your taxes didn't you? What did you buy with your tax returns?

ho
w
accurate
??

>>17585186
These legit make me think Marc is colourblind and he doesn't know

>>17585209
Based chart but Tudor needs to be added to cope watch. It is the purest definition of a cope watch brand

>>17585207
imagine living in a shit hole where you have to calculate something the government already knows. Imagine giving the government an interest free loan in form of overpaid taxes
Feels good paying the exact amount of taxes you owe

>>17585209
Why would you exclude Islander?

>>17585205
I've had an EcoDrive for 11 years and it's never died.

>>17585213
Where do you live that doesn't have tax filing?

>>17585209
>>17585209
>>17585212
The cope watch section is shit anyway. How the fuck are Breitling and Cartier cope? Makes no sense.

>>17585218
Not the anon you replied to. There are many cunts in europe where you dont have to. I think Germany is one of them. Quick google search said the Krauts can do their taxes if they feel like some shit is deductible, but it's not mandatory.
But Im a burger so I dont really know

>>17585229
I wonder if it's because they have much less tipped wage workers and """""""""entrepreneurs.""""""""""

new thread

>>17585236

>>17584863
You wouldn't. Buy the San Martin.

>>17585209
Franck Muller should be bumped down because they've been shit for 20+ years. Louis Vuitton and Cartier should be bumped up, Cartier to high end and Louis Vuitton to ultra luxury. Habring does not make cope watches at all.

>>17584919
it's been worse

>>17584965
