>>17594858
>only true nwbig are overpriced watches normies won't recognize anyway
Isn't that the point of a rep tho, to get the function and look for a fraction of the price? You are only getting the former but not really the latter since nobody cares about your panerai

>>17594858
Lmao Panerai. And I say that as someone that likes their look

>>17594858
repenthusiast-anon here, gimme ur questions

>>17594855
Dust traps around the bezel.

>>17594404
they have a world timer variant as well. these age of discovery watches are some of the very few relatively modern quartz watches that are almost entirely serviceable, and look fairly decent on the wrist to this day.

the prices in my opinion are reasonable for what you get but like i said, get them while you can because i can imagine hipster normie fags eventually finding out about it and buying all of them up.

>>17594629
hilariously enough, marc has a review of it and includes the alarm sound

https://youtu.be/BV_VqscalMQ?t=467

>>17594869
Literally can't hear anything.

>>17594396
Why? It's ugly as shit.

>>17594866
Best world time or gmt reps? Thinking aqua Terra world time. Not the gmt master

>>17594871
You're literally deaf.

>>17594877
VSF Worldtimer is youre only option there, 8500 for AT's. Haven't looked around to see what's out there recently as far as GMT's go, but there's one guy I saw making vintage GMT Master's that he actually sells. Really dependent on budget there though

>>17594866
What's your favorite replica?
>>17594858
I'm the anon that stoked the flame by half-jokingly asking about an OP replica, and I can't believe that we got an actual detailed discussion. Considering a 114300 in grape now (Seiko Cocktail Time will be my blue watch).

>>17594866
I used to be rep autist about 10 years ago, started looking into them again and it's a shame that the prices have gone up by a lot and the quality seems to have dropped at the lower end.

>>17594883
TC 16610 Sub, bought it from another user on RWI, there's a good one on the RepTimeBST Discord for sale right now with a decent amount of work put into it that nearly rivals TC's version

>>17594883
good decision anon, never liked the grape myself in comparison to white or rhodium dial, but it's really nice nonetheless. just get it serviced after you get it yeah

Dive watches look better on a leather strap than on a bracelet, and be honest: you don’t dive anyway

>>17594884
yeah, most people that are into the market are looking for the best the chinks can produce. now it's either the absolute best (or nearly best) and DHgate-tier now

>>17594887

>>17594881
>VSF Worldtimer
nta but that actually looks like a decent proposition. thanks for this.

>>17594887
Bracelets are just better.

The gap where end links should be always looks ugly.

>>17594886
>>17594884
reps are based, I’m not willing to spend $75K to get an Overseas that actually fits my wrist

>>17594891
np chief

>>17594891
Yeah looks cool vs gen. Isn't an actual gmt but it functions close enough to work and looks sweet

>>17594895
WRONG

>>17594898
i like these leather bands in browner colours with those little string bits

>>17594894
How close is this rep to the real watch? If the real watch really looks like that that's the cheapest looking expensive watch I've ever seen.

>>17594898
God the aluminium bezel subs look so much better.

>>17594875
You are objectively wrong, because all of my opinions are objective and I think it's great.

>>17594894
Definitely would rather give chinks the money.

>>17594889
Pic related cost me less than £150 iirc

>>17594901
Take the Tudorpill

>>17594900
the gen is solid white gold

>>17594901
They don't look better forever though.

what's a good cheapish (to ~300$) watch I can wear on every occassion in every fit? (I just wear shirt and chinos 99% of the time though)

>>17594905
Still looks cheap.

>>17594907
get a rep, tudor black bay 58 is under $300:
>>17594890
or one td has omega de ville power reserve available for like $208 or something

>>17594908
sure thing, chief

>>17594900
All gold watches are not going to feel the same as the gen because they will be lighter than the gold originals. They would be gold plated

>>17594900
you tell me which is which

>>17594900
the white dial of this from BPF is good. blue dial of this ref are all not great. as for what other anon said about gold and weight, some factories put something else in the metal that increases weight to match gold gens

>>17594914
>>17594913
>>17594911
Does it matter which is real when they both look cheap?

>>17594914
Left is real, right is fake.

>>17594917
dependent on the buyer/wearer, ultimately

>>17594907
One of the non-dive, non-chrono Citizen Eco Drive models, stainless steel, on a bracelet. Set and forget, never out of place

>>17594914
Not bad for what is undoubtedly a low production piece, Rolex and Omega stuff tends to be almost indistinguishable. And Panerai.

>>17594918
Wrong
>>17594914
Right is fake. Tells:
- Right is missing the inner ring on the dial that cuts through the date window
- Cross logo is more beveled on gen (left)
- Date on the fake is misaligned to the right
- Crown looks cheap on right

Surprise surprise, I’m Overseas fake anon:
>>17594894
nd I know my overseas fakes

>>17594934
>wong
anon, he is agreeing with you lol

>>17594934
>>17594935
LMAO I’m an idiot

>>17594934
>Left is real, right is fake.
>>17594934
>Wrong
>>17594934
>Right is fake.
You ok retard?

>>17594943
>>17594937
I am not okay

>>17594919
Who is wearing it doesn't make a difference to what the watch looks like.

>>17594866
How much does one of this reps (sub for example) cost?

>>17594866
Is there a decent Vacheron 222 rep anywhere?

>>17594955
What you like is not what someone else may like and vice versa. Even if I did say something objectively looked like shit, there will be some faggot that would like it. Eg. blinged out pieces for example

>>17594971
Are you a bot?

>>17594914
fake on the right

>>17594968
A good one, around 470-540 currently - can be more or less depending on condition if you’re buying from another user somewhere and not a dealer specifically or if it’s had work done to it etc.

>>17594972
Are you?

>>17594970
Not that I know of, but I may be wrong, just not popular enough as other anons have eluded to.

where to get high quality islander reps?

>>17594975
No. So explain what the fuck personal taste has to do with something looking cheap/inexpensive. a billion dollar watch can still look cheap if it has visible machine marks and a plain white printed date wheel.

where to get high quality replica reps
want that rep feel without paying rep prices

>>17594996
Plebbit chinatime is for cheap reps. Reps of reps are not going to be as good because literally at that point the margins aren't profitable

>>17594991
Are we talking about the two extremes of quality like you are or a reasonable comparison between anything remotely equal..

>>17594914
Left is real, right is fake. Hope you are kidding, you blind fuck.

Is Rado any good or are they cuck watches? I want to know before I splurge money

>>17595006
I know which is real and fake - This was posted as an example, for other anon to gauge for himself, not everyone is your enemy, stop assuming the worst in all life on earth lol

>>17594909
where to get the deville?

>>17595014
Eric from geektime.watch

>>17595018
thanks
what about the tudor?

>>17595003
I'm talking about literally this picture comparing this VC original to a fake.>>17594914
Both have visible machine marks, both have unremarkable dials, both look like they run on an NH35 movement. Neither of them looks like a holy trinity watch.

>>17594855
My small collection. Fun to wear and not expensive.

>>17595038
Love the penis ocean
Has one of my favorite watch handsets

List of the George Costanza watches?

God damn, this is fucking cool.

>>17595047
Ty Anon

>Henry Winkler wore a bronze Oris Big Crown Date Pointer in Barry
Based.

>>17595038
i like it

>>17594978
That's a shame. It's probably the nicest watch ever made, just absurdly expensive

>>17594974
A good one means pretty much indistinguishable?

>>17595038
I don't know how people by effectively 3 identical cheap shitter watches from the same Japanese corporate umbrella, a shitter diver from the same umbrella, and a swiss diver and call it a collection. Like bruh you have 2 watches lmao

>>17595067
good one as in the best you can possibly get currently - with movements that are clones of genuine models, meaning genuine parts can be bought and fitted straight in instead of relying on rep replacements, alongside crystals/dials etc.

>>17595069
Seiko's Cocktail Time dials are legendary, and have no business being this cheap
Best value for money

>>17595069
Point taken, let's call it a selection of watches I like.
>>17595060
Ty :)

THREADLY REMINDER THAT EVERY ”SUPERCLONE" FAKE WATCH MOVMENT IS total DOGSHIT.
if you are lucky it will be ±30 seconds a day for the year it lasts

>>17595070
So with a fake you could theoretically over time have a watchmaker replace parts and eventually create a genuine rolex in every sense except that it wasn't assembled in Switzerland and has no paperwork?

>>17595077
my 16610 with a 3135 clone has been through 1 service over 2+ years and is within +-6~ seconds a day, post your reps on a timegrapher?

>>17595079
No. Not even the most deluded repniggers actually belive that. The only things that might be parts compatable on a fake are the hands and the rotor. No fucking way you just just drop authentic parts in the jank clone movement and have it work. Also most watchmakers wont touch fakes so good luck finding one to fix them

>>17595077
Anon is absolutely right.

>>17595079
alot of people do this very same thing actually - with good bases like VSF or CF Sub 116610/126610's for example right now, you see these in particular quite a bit where people find replacement crystals, dials, crowns, movements, bezels etc.

not to mention cosmetic work such as buffing the rehaut on VSF models ( as it's not quite perfect) or cleaning up the hands for example

>>17595081
You had to get it serviced in less than 2 years? What was it running before it was serviced huh?

>>17595077
Reminder that every "real" movement is total dogshit. If you want a decent movement, pay 2 dollars for the cheapest piece of quartz junk you can find.

>>17595077
Interesting when every good td gives time Grapher results

>>17595083
you're just spouting shit though, just be careful not to spout so much as to actually dellude yourself into believing it in the end anon. it's for your own health

>>17595088
Poorfag rant

>>17595079
Watch of theseus

>>17595087
had it serviced after 1.5 years when i had the waterproofing checked by a watchmaker alongside replacing the crystal to a gen crystal while he was at it - it was +-4 sec from the TD when i first received it so it gained +-2 sec after 1.5 years

>>17595038
Finally someone actually posting their watches.
Love it bro. I'd switch out one Bambino for a Sinn oder Stowa flieger or something

>>17595098
>buys dogshit
>had it serviced after 1.5 years when i had the waterproofing checked by a watchmaker alongside replacing the crystal to a gen crystal while he was at it
Kek What a waste of money, time and resources.
Truly reps/fakes aren't worth it.

>>17595108
How often should you expect to service a genuine luxury watch like a Datejust for example? Is the cost of service like buying a new watch every time you bring it in?

I did it, I bought this one. Did I make a mistake?

>>17595108
5 lines of text and you didn't actually even say anything that I can converse with

ahh but i fell for the bait mb

>>17595112
5-7 years at least

>>17595108
>Truly reps/fakes aren't worth it.
Unironically this

>>17595113
Great, Kashio is shilling his shitty watches again.

>>17595113
Really not trying to be mean here bro but your first priority should be losing weight. Buying jewelry is just a quick cope for the fact that you're a fat guy. Nice watch though

>>17595112
give or take about 9-10 years, cost about 950
t. owned a daydate in the past

>>17595070
How is the finishing compared to some 200-300€ chinese homage, say a San Martin?

>>17595122
Why do you think I'm fat? If anything I'm slightly underweight for my height

>>17595127
Truly depends on the rep watch and factory in question honestly. Some factories are known for focusing on finishing more than others or for specific references even. ARF OP's have great finishes for example

First time posting here. I'm looking to buy a watch for my best friend's birthday and I have no idea about these.

I have a budget of 200-250€, maybe going up to 300€ if it's a big upgrade. I'm in a special position to get 20-30% off the sales price of Citizen and some weird brands but I hear Citizen is the best value. I'm a poorfag and can't get anything more expensive, sorry.

Pecrel is the Citizen Eco-Drive BM8550-81E. I like the watch face on this one. It's priced at 250€ without the discount and would fit into my budget. Any cookie cutter Citizens in this price range that I should be looking for? They all seem to be the same on paper except with a different watch face.

At 300€ the watches seem to start getting sapphire glass and titanium materials. Are they essential for watches?

>>17595132
Are there any better than the gens? Like Panerai maybe?

>>17595133
Does he like watches? If so, don't give one as a gift.

>>17595133
Sapphire is nice because it's more scratch resistant. Titanium is far less important.

>>17595132
>Imagine having to navigate thru all that info just to buy dogshit.

>>17595136
He does, he wears a large and very cringy gold Armani watch when he goes out. That's where I got the idea.

>>17595138
Thanks, I'll check if there are any sensible ones with sapphire glass that will fit my budget.

For me, it's the Albatros.

>>17595135
not into panerai at all so I couldn't say for those. reps are only replicating their target model, no rep will be considerably or even nearly better than what it's just trying to be. need to keep in mind the conditions of where these reps are made compared to even mid-tier watch brands, finishing of movements is usually what is subpar to everything else as it's not the main focus - hence why good clone movements like the VS3235 are sought after more than others as with a good cleanup/service, they're decent even before modding if you want to go down that route.

>>17595146
you don't, others do that for you on rwi etc. look at the evidence and findings of others and judge for yourself

>>17595149
If he's into watches he likely has his own tastes and probably won't wear your gift.

>>17595151
Dude, someone put your watch in the microwave.

>>17595136
>>17595149
Sorry, meant to say he does like the look of watches but he has absolutely no idea about quality and feature related things. Basically he'd like any watch that's 40-42mm.

>>17595151
A lot of older JLCs have a cursed look about them. Fuck me.

>>17595133

>>17594866
Are there any good grand seiko replicas?

>>17595170
there are not, no. seiko homages are your next best. nowhere near popular enough, too much work for them to replicate for something that may not sell well. even if we did, it wouldn't be with a spring drive and thats the point of gs anyway so

do i

>>17595176
>even if we did
Eric from geektime dot watches is that you?

>>17595179
people will think youre gay and edgy, remember that

>>17595163
I'll check this out, thanks! Any particular reason you chose this instead of the others?

>>17595130
not the anon you replied to but you have a fat fucking wrist

>>17595180
im his scandi cousin, erik

>>17595182
>can be picked up for around 200 bucks
>design draws from cool old Citizen lines like the Crystal 7 models
>case and dial finishing is decent for the money
>decent Miyota automatic movement with both day and date complications
>5 bar water resistance so you can walk in rain or wash your hands in peace
>dial/case will look good with just about any strap and the 20mm lug width ensures there's plenty of options available on the market
>40mm so it fits nearly all wrists unless your pal is an absolute skeletor
>13mm thick so it slips under a dress shirt cuff
Only downside to this model is that it has a mineral glass, which is objectively worse than sapphire glass in terms of scratch resistance. That being said, I've owned and worn multiple mineral glass watches for years without a single scratch on them.

>>17595156
This. While the citizen is nice enough as a nice entry level watch it sounds like he already has dogshit oversized designer watch taste.

>>17595123
Damn, so it really is almost like buying a new watch every service. And they fuck with the resale value of the piece too?

>>17595079
>A question was raised by ancient philosophers: After several centuries of maintenance, if each individual part of the Ship of Theseus was replaced, one at a time, was it still the same ship?

>>17595200
A genuine DayDate, did not cost me anywhere near $950 anon..

>>17595149
A mechanical is wasted on someone like that. Just get a quartz with a pretty dial. It sounds like he likes big and flashy.

>>17594866
I'm sporting a 5 year old Daniel Wellington rep from DHgate that I got for about 40 dollars. It's essentially a perfect copy down to the quartz movement since Daniel Wellington makes shit tier watches anyway. It looks decent and it works fine.

Are there any really good replicas for under 100 dollars? The model and brand don't really matter, only interested in the accuracy compared to the original. Bonus points for a reputable brand though.

>>17594890
>>17594909
I fucking love the shade of blue on the BB58. Are their any similar divers yet with that near exact shade or is a rep just the way to go?

>>17595133
Seiko SUR311P1 is:
>within your price range (235 EUR in my cunt)
>has sapphire glass
>almost the same look with a black dial

Anyone familiar with the watchfinder store and their business model?
I'm looking at a watch from the 90s that they claim to have faithfully restored, comparing it with other listings it looks to me like they added a see-through glass at the back to show the movement, is that actually something they could bother doing to their watches? Sounds too intrusive and time consuming, but all the other models I can find have solid backs so that's the only explanation.

>>17595213
Forgot to add, it's also only 8.4mm thick

>>17595208
probably better off asking on chinatime for anything near that pricepoint

>>17595215
It depends on the watch. For example, a lot of Seikos share the exact same screw down back so you can trivially swap in an exhibition one.

>>17595107
Thanks a lot, happy you like them too :D. Couldn't decide on the design of the Bambinos so I picked up both ( I mean... they are cheap). Really thinking about picking up a GS as a new Dresswatch this Summer. So far I can't make up my mind if I should get an SBGM221 or an SBGA415G (https://www.grand-seiko.com/us-en/collections/sbga415g).). I like the Design of the Taisetsu but it might be more difficult to pick one up at a good price point as it is fairly new on the market. Any Thoughts?

>>17595196
Great breakdown, thank you. The design part is important to me, I'd rather buy something with a timeless look and has some history to it. I think mineral glass will do fine, it'll resist most scratches unless you rub sand on it or something.

This one's an automatic movement, how do you feel about Eco-Drive watches?

>>17595227
>Any Thoughts?
The SBGA415G is way more beautiful with the unique dial. The other one looks almost boring in comparison.

>>17595231
Thank you. I think it can be dressed down with a leather strap to nicely to fit the bill.

>>17595229
Had an Eco-Drive beater a couple of years back, served me well. Charge lasts for literal months even if you keep it in a drawer and I like the idea that I get the quartz accuracy without the hassle of changing batteries.

However, for me, the biggest problem with Eco-Drives (and really any other quartz watch) at this price point is the misalignment in second hand, i.e., the hand does not hit the indicators/markers properly, but rather it hits somewhat in between the markers. It bothers the shit out of me, but I know people who couldn't care less. So if I were to buy an Eco-Drive watch, I'd make sure to first check for misalignment in person.

>>17595217
>>17595213
Thank you! That's actually a great choice as well, I'll check that out. Do you know which one is "better", besides the sapphire glass?

how expensive is watch repair?
the part that moves and springs an automatic watch stopped moving after i dropped it while shitfaced
not sure if I should even bother with bringing it to a watchmaker since it cost me less than 100$

>>17595151
ought to be hung round the designer's neck

>>17595204
Yeah, you payed $500 for a rep, and even if you bought a new rep every year for 10 years it would still cost less than buying a genuine and servicing it.

>>17595251
where did i mention paying $500 for a rep anywhere?

>>17595241
>not sure if I should even bother with bringing it to a watchmaker since it cost me less than 100$
A watch maker would tell you to buy a new watch. Try to fix it yourself

>>17595235
The misalignment sounds like something that would drive me insane too, like my watch hasn't been assembled correctly. Thankfully my friend doesn't have an eye for these, but I'll keep this in mind when I'm getting a new one for myself.

>>17595241
If it doesn't have sentimental value it's not worth going to a watchmaker at that price point. You could always try:

>>17595252
I'm saying what you would have done if you were smart with your money.

>>17595269
I'd not buy a gen DD if I could not afford it or were not already smart with my money. Unless you're talking to some other anon and replied to me by mistake or something then disregard

>>17595278
I'm so fucking tired of talking to reddit bots. I don't know why I post here.

>>17595283
i think u need sum sleep anon

>>17595267
I know you're memeing, but are there actually any decent Albanian watch brands? I'm going there on a business trip soon and might buy one as a souvenir.

>>17594899
It's called a two stitch strap.

>>17595300
thats helpful actually, thanks

>>17595108
lmao you can buy two new reps for the cost to service a gen Rolex, which you have to do every five years are so anyway
lol. lmao even.

>>17595212
$278 from Hont. Do it.

These backwards fucks discovered electricity just 12 years ago. They still tell the time by burning effigies and reciting an incantation.
What kind of business do you do there?

>>17595349
don’t expect any handholding. communication is terse but he gets the job done and is the most reliable in that price range by a mile.
contact via whatsapp, be prepared to pay via wise, and if you need to ask detailed questions use another TD.
you’re gonna get commodity service.

>>17595349
he is, yeah

>>17595347

>>17595355
>>17595356
there's a website, is it legit?
why would I need to use whatsapp?

Bros why is the explorer so perfect?

>>17595368
http://hontwatch.ru/
so that before/after buying, you can communicate with the dealer, talk about any issues with the watch after you receive QC pics etc.

>>17595354
>What kind of business do you do there?
The German government keeps raising the minimum wage, so the IT company I work for is moving most German operations to the Balkan (mainly Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania). A lot of people in these countries are fluent enough in German to do basic helpdesk stuff. We pay them around 800-1000 euro per month which is peanuts for us but a great salary for them.

>>17594923
modern phone cameras do a meteic fuckton of fuckery to images that can make it harder to distinguish watches which makes people overestimate the quality of reps. if presented in person people can gell them apart quite reliably. this is not limited to watch nerds mind you. the youtube videos overstate the quality of these watches because it makes for engaging content

>>17595431
lol I’m worth a little over $1.5M and I exclusively buy reps.
the only people who buy gen watches these days are:
1. fucking idiots, or
2. worth well over $100M. and even then, they should really be buying reps

>>17595441
so basically nobody can tell them apart under any circumstances unless they’re holding a rep and a gen next to each other in their hands
and that means the reps are bad
mmmkay

OK poorfag.

I know that's the fake scam one, seethe harder reddit faggot

>>17595055
I love the watch, the price gets me though.

anything similar to this but less tacky?
I'm trying to figure out what to put a mesh bracelet on, on this one it kind of works but I'm not fond of the chronometer look

>>17595456
okay let us know when you figure out how to order the watch, seems like you’re having a lot of trouble

>>17595460
literally asked like a couple basic questions and you're mad now lol

>>17595459
>chronometer look
Do you mean a chronograph or are you concerned how well your bracelet pairs with your movement?

>>17595459

>p-prove y-you're not poor
You wearing fakes is enough proof you're comfortable with lying about your financial situation. I just can't take your claim about your net worth seriously.
See that's the thing with fakes. Once people find out about it (whether you're transparent about it or not), they'll think you're a fraud. Poorfag.

>dadwatch
every time

>>17595469
you could at least put more effort into it

>>17595473
Yeah. It's largely clout farming with normies. Even billionaire watch enthusiasts can appreciate a microshitter that costs as much as a superfake.

Does anyone that's not a watch nerd going to be impressed by a Panerai or IWC on name alone like they would for a Rolex or the same 2-3 that rappers ruin with diamonds?

>>17595473
Why would I spend $200K on watches when I can spend $3K on fakes?

That extra $197K invested will provide ~$7K in investment income every year for the rest of my life.

You’d have to be a fucking idiot to give that up to own a collection of toys that looks the same as another collection of toys.

Sorry, genuine watches are for absolute rubes.

>>17595473
provide an authorized dealer with regular oral service, spend $30K on jewelry you don’t want, wait 15 years, spend $30K on a daytona

hmm, this really is a pickle. what to do?

>>17595492
lmao you don't have these $200k anyway, poorfag.
Remember : you buy fakes because you're poor and want people think you're rich.

Why are none of you faggots posting your watches

Disgusting.

My wife and I literally have $200K in cash and cash equivalents right now.

Where can I find reps of quartz watches like the Oysterquartz or some Grand Seiko? Also is it possible to request a rep without the brand name/logo on the dial? Basically I like famous desings and good finishing but I really dislike having the fake brand on the dial

Now that's what I call a cope explorer.

>>17594858
I remember when fakes were everywhere decades ago. The movements were shit, they looked fake to people who had the real thing, but to everyone else, they looked real. The function is the same today though: to appear to have the status required to own the real watch for the purposes of gaining any social benefit of that status without actually having anything.

>>17594866
I read your name as 'Repent-Thusiast'....lol The final days are coming...

>>17594887
I find bracelets are easier to clean, and definitely better in salt water. Yes, I dive, but haven't in many years (since before Covid). Leather straps, or any strap really, help display the watch head better, so if the case has an interesting shape or nice lugs, leather looks excellent. It's a waste on a Rolex case though.

>>17595038
Nice! How are they running? That Seiko diver looks really cool.

>>17595097
That's the intent of lots of fakes though; to replace as many fake parts with genuine parts without actually buying a genuine watch. If you had a gen. midcase, crystal, dial, handset, crown, and bracelet, could anyone tell that the watch was fake? For that alone, a 10k watch could be had for around 3k, and the only one who would know that it's fake is you and your watchmaker. It's a little sad though...

>>17595107
Wait for me!!!

>>17595203
High school philosophy question. The answer lies in how 'real' or 'genuine' is defined. With vintage watches, no one cares if movement parts are replaced due to wear and tear to keep the watch running...but god forbid you replace a crown or pushers.

>>17595208
THEY MAKE REPLICAS OF DANIEL FUCKING WELLINGTON??? LOL Why do I think this is a psy-op by Daniel Wellington to increase the perceived desirability of their own watches?

>>17595258
Higher end HAQ watches will have the second-hand perfectly aligned. My Citizen 0100 (pic related) is like that, and high-end Grand Seikos do that too. So, it's possible but costly.
>>17595347
Pic related.

>>17595392
You can be part of the solution Anon...post about something genuine. What are you wearing?

>wearing the larger 4-stack now...sorry for old pic.

>>17595445
You may be in the minority. The ultra rich only buy reps of genuine watches they already own so that they don't get robbed when they're targeted by gangs. They don't need to 'save' money the way that normal middle class people do. Sometimes they get scammed, of course (the infamous Cartier Crash debacle), but for the most part, they buy them for jewelry sake and sometimes horological hobby. Reps are awful in hand.

>>17595492
Why would you spend 3k on fakes? That's an awful waste of money.

>>17595815
The rich bald guy that Baldassarre keeps doing vids with.

>>17595909
The closest thing I had was a fitbit. They're cool until they run out of juice. Then it takes fucking forever to charge them. I can wind my watch in a minute and it's good to go for two days.

>>17595919
Regularly; I need to chronos for work, so I'm always double-fisting.

>>17595932
It depends...there are tonnes of options, especially for under 50k. You can go any direction, from many companies; the field is open. At that range you can get Lange, Patek, and VC, but you can also do highest-end Omega, some high Rolex, etc. Maybe you could even contract a small independent to do something one-off.

>>17595445
I really don't get how fake watches are a thing. You can get nice entry luxury watches for around 4-7k used which won't depreciate a lot or go up in value. The money you spend on fakes is more or less lost.
Also, a nice watch is something to gift to yourself because you enjoy the quality of the built... or the story/heritage of that model... or the working of the movement.
You shouldn't get watches to impress others but to impress yourself.

>>17596119
Got that one too! I have a drawer with cheap watches from movies or celebrities.
It's a nice watch with a good story but pressing the keys is a little hard. much easier on the other models.

>>17595520
Is the max bill fake? I couldn't find one anywhere

>>17595944
All dogs are boys and all cats are girls

>>17596123
Anyone spending 4k on a watch is doing it to impress others.

There's nothing in the sub 40k category that's actually impressive, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to delude themselves. The movements aren't impressive, a 50 dollar casio will beat a 0100 over a couple of years. The "story" of a model is meaningless, because your speedy didn't go to the moon, it was made 30 years later. Heritage only matters if you're buying vintage, and it's something that's only talked about in the same sense as patina, coping for buying second hand abused watches. Build quality is low across the board on sub 40k watches, there's no hand painting, very little hand finishing, maybe the CNC robot puts in a bit more effort or you get a bit of hand polishing that will disappear after a couple of years of wear.

If you can't afford a real watch, you should just get a cheap one.

I got a choice between collecting vinyl records with cool cover art and colors on the vinyl or collecting cheap digital shitters from the 70s-80s. I can't afford to collect both. What do I go with?

>>17596163
I like what I like and I'll do what I want :^)

>>17596164
Neither, both hobbies are an absolute embarrassment. Buy some wood, build things with your hands.

>>17596167
I would ngl (if (s)he got a clean shave)

>>17595235
Both my Casio Lineage and vintage Penisquartz hit almost all the markers. It's not 100% perfect but it's waaaaay better than the Skagen shitter (that i don't wear at all) where the second hand has a lot of play when i'm adjusting the time.

>>17596176
To be fair Casio seems to be better than most at this. I was looking at Duros at a shop window the other day and all 4 were hitting markers near perfectly. And right next to them a bunch of fashion brand shitters were doing the opposite.

>>17596163
I pretty much disagree with you on any of those statements but to each their own.

>>17596163
This is some major cope

Im trying to make a 3d printed pendulum clock but have zero horology knowledge. Can someone tell me if this would work?
1. an escapement (deadbeat escapement), which is connected to the pendulum, which will also double as the second hand since im designing it in a way such that it rotates once a minute
2. at this point i add a third wheel and a second wheel (second wheel rotates with the pinion of the third wheel, the third wheel rotates with the pinion of the escape wheel) designed in such a way that the second wheel rotates once every 60 rotations of the escape wheel, so this wheel will have an arbor which will carry the minute hand
3. two more gears with a number of tooth such that there is another gear which completes a full rotation once every 12 rotations of the second wheel, which will serve as the hour hand
4. finally, this 12 hour rotation time gear will also double as the main gear/power source gear, because ill hang a weight from that. The weight will be attached with a string and the string will be coiled so that it unwinds once every 12 hours

My SDGM003 been running a bit too fast lately, looking to get something else. Perhaps a Casio Oceanus?

>>17596209
Get it regulated maybe?

Help me decide my first watch purchase- Aqua Terra 38 or Datejust 1603

>>17596239
Always go for Rolex. If you can, get a modern one.

>>17596163
>Anyone spending 4k on a watch is doing it to impress others.
Why specifically 4k?
Is it maybe because that's your own personal limit?

Ok lads, which one?

>>17594914
left fake
right real
why I think: counterbalance of the secondhand looks better crafted on the right and oddly shaped on the left
i dunno about the rest

>>17596256
left!

>>17596085
Nice! How are they running?
The Bambinos needed some work to regulate they are around +3~5 now. Lovely watches, not only for the money but nice dress watches and compliment getters.
No issues with the cocktail, I have a fitting millanaise that I might try on that one soon.
I like the first-gen monster for the teeth, it's a shame they went to a square design on the markers in later versions. The Minute handle was a bit loose but not hard to fix. I replaced the Bracelet with a SUPER Engineer Type II it has a pretty solid weight and feel to it now.
Took the Seamaster to a watchmaker two months ago as it went without service for 15 Years. He took a look at the numbers and told me to come back in two years as everything is well inside tolerance.

>>17596282
>I replaced the Bracelet with a SUPER Engineer Type II
How did you do it to fit the endlinks? Or are they straight?

>>17596263
so it was spoken and so it shall be

>>17596163
Likely bait, but I'm in a good mood.

1) 'Impressive' is contextual, so if you can't be impressed by realistic expectations, then you'll be unhappy with what is available in that price range.

2) A 50 dollar casio will not beat a 0100 over a couple of years. Don't you even HAQ? Also; even a mechanical can beat a 50$ casio; my Zenith 5011k is matching my 0100 in terms of accuracy over this past year (we're now in April..fuck, time flies fast). Granted, it's not a cheap pocket watch, but it's certainly not 40k and that's the point.

3) The movements can be impressive, within reason. Under 40k is available Lange, Patek, and AP, along with Roger Dubuis as well. Then you can also spend on some JLC (vintage 80s/90s can get you very high horology for that price), etc.

4) Agreed that the story of a model is meaningless, and that no Speedy available to the public has been on the moon. Mine, however, was actually made between 1965 and 1966, and is the same general reference (105.012) as the ones Buzz and Neil wore on Apollo 11, so suckit.
>pic related

5) Heritage only matters when buying vintage; I actually agree with this totally. I do disagree though that it's a cope; it actually helps to understand the context in terms of build quality, reliability, design of movements, and reliability in performance when comparing historical models. Further, it allows a buyer to find great deals on models from brands that today may not have cache but historically were among the top.

6) Build quality is not low across the board on sub 40k watches; it's like you've never done a Chrono24 search.

7) Define 'real' watch.

>>17596204
Why not get one of those wooden clock kits from UGEARS? I picked up the triple-axis tourbillon (with jumping hour) around Christmas...tonnes of fun to build, and though it still runs fast, it's fun to look at. Their wall clock is a pendulum model, and has a cool balloon thing that moves on the hour.

>>17596282
Awesome!

I've decided to purge all my shitters and get an olive green OP.

>>17596352
>A 50 dollar casio will not beat a 0100 over a couple of years
You can get waveceptor for 50 bucks. Radio will beat the best HAQ in the world. If you carry it around your pocket watch is impressive, if it sits in its case all day it isn't.

Always funny to see someone who has probably spent 40k+ on shitters instead of just buying one decent watch, though.

Because the main reason I'm doing this is to get better at 3d modelling, "problem solving" or whatever, and after I'm done with the simplest time-only clock I'll try to add some complications
The ugears thing, while it look nicer than anything I could ever do, doesn't feel like anything more than a harder Lego, I wouldn't gain anything from it, engineering wise
