that is unironically one of the most disgusting collections I've ever seen. It's like he picked the ugliest sports watches he could find from every brand. Just awful.

That guy's all over the place. Offshore...and then a Breguet Tradition.

To continue the Hublot discussion from the last thread, though, really the only people who hate Hublot are the same ones who think that there's rules to watchmaking (and also think they're the arbiters of those rules.)

>>17597887
Literally no one has heard of Nomos, you might as well get a Seiko or a Timex.

>>17597908
>a brand is only good if normies know about it
The absolute state of Rolexoids. Pathetic.

Anons, I think I fell for the meme and now I am in love with this watch.
Beyond "poor mans rolex" what other reasons I shouldn't get it?

>>17597911
It's thick as fuck

>>17597907
>who think that there's rules to watchmaking (and also think they're the arbiters of those rules.)
Not necessarily relating to Hublot, but yeah, these people make the watch community terrible.

They're too fucking poor to afford anything, but they bitch and whine whenever a company tries anything different.

>>17597910
>overpaying for a brand with no brand recognition

At least you'll get a few upvotes on Reddit

>>17597911
like the other anon said, tudors are quite thick. it's okay for a watch to be thick depending on the style, but the thing with Tudor is that they supposedly try to channel the vintage diver designs and from the front it certainly looks like it, but it's a huge letdown once you see it on your wrist and notice how high it sits on the wrist.

it's like, if your watch is thick don't try and hide it, just own it and adjust the design as necessary.

>>17597911
The slab case and thickness are the big flaws IMO. If it works on your wrist then go for it.

>>17597920
Here you go, you'll need this.

>>17597920
Yep. That collection looks like it belongs to a wrestler, pro athlete, or rapper. Shameful.

>>17597892
I bet these are mostly reps.

>>17597937
of course the one thing is doesn't look like is the collection of a seething poor

>>17597941
It looks like a collection of fakes to me. Either that or the guy is a literal schizophrenic

What's similar to a Planet Ocean but not almost 20mm thick? I like the orange accents and arrow hands.

>>17597939
>>17597943
That Breguet is not fake, neither is the Patek. The Rolex or the Panerai? No one can tell. And you wouldn't put reps on such an expensive winder, anyway.

I think the problem is the size of the collection. If he had one of the dressy watches and one or two of the sports watches, no one would bat an eye, but this guy went batshit and bought an insane collection.
>literal schizophrenic
He probably just has no impulse control.

>>17597932
Rolex won't, and never will let Tudor make a good watch.

>>17597951
That's one chunky boi.

>2,5k
>Sellita movement
Fucking how and why?

>>17597826
In case anyone is interested, continuing from the last thread. I brought this shitter to a watch shop and after examination they told me the way to remove the stem and crown is by pulling really hard, that’s it. Then they could access the movement and replace the battery.

So yeah, apparently just pulling really hard does the trick on some of these vintage Omega quartz shitters.

>>17597875
Rolex is a cope brand for people that can't afford VC, AP or PP.

>>17597887
Nomos is for cucks

>>17597954
It's also extremely heavy, since the bracelet is also 22mm and doesn't taper much.

>>17597944
>What's similar to a Planet Ocean but not almost 20mm thick?
First gen Planet Ocean. ~13mm thick. Still thick, but not absurd.

>>17597961
Yes, but there's different levels of coping. We all cope in some way, some of us with cheap brands like Casio, some with mid-range brands like Longines, and some with entry level luxury like the low range Rolex watches (explorer, OP, Datejust etc).

>>17597980
I own a 200 dollar watch, and I'm not coping at all. I don't like any of the expensive stuff.

>>17597871
Who >Rolex here?

>>17597983
Female hands?

>>17597981
Thanks for the laugh Anon.

>>17597983
Datejust is the only one that looks luxury. The others could just as easily be a Seiko or a Citizen.

>>17597958
nothing wrong with it if it's chronometer grade. it ensures long term support for the watch and they can be nearly as accurate as watches way above their range.

>DUDE ROLEX LMAO

>>17597991
Are you expecting Tudor to go out of business anytime soon? There is no excuse when they are partial owners of Kenissi.

>>17597991
>it if it's chronometer grade
It's not.

>>17597987
The only more expensive watch I'd even consider would be GS, and it's missing so many features and they're so bulky that I don't like any of them.

In an ideal world I wouldn't mind a tuning fork diver, I suppose. But they didn't make any good ones, and trying to make one myself seems like a real pain in the ass.

>>17597959
I'm not going to google it for you, but what asshole designed a watch to remove the crystal, expose the dial, just fuckin yank lol on the stem all to replace a $3 battery? Did they just assume no owner of that watch would ever do that nonsense themselves?

>>17597961
There's only one good PP in the curent offering, and 0 VC or AP.

>>17598011
But anon, it's a "swiss timepiece" which means you get the "luxury experience" of disassembling the entire watch to replace the "premium" $3 battery. Poorfags wouldn't understand, this is what true luxury looks like.

>>17598015
>There's only one good PP in the curent offering
which one?

>>17598018
Jokes on you: The screws on the back of a $12 F91W are nigh impossible to remove and replace without destroying them. The replacement screw and gasket set with shipping is $29. It costs more in parts than to just buy a new watch. Checkmate, atheist, I replace my watches when the battery wears out. Here you are being fucking POOR replacing the battery with many hours of labor while I just order another watch. LMAO bow down to my wealth and exuberance!

>>17597997
no but it wouldn't surprise me if they go the way of other brands and start severely limiting access to parts, intentionally like Omega.

with ETA's and Sellitas there's a low risk of that, even though ETA itself has been getting annoying with that as well

>>17598011
I'm guessing this comes out of how Seamasters at the time had a solid case to be waterproof. It's the same way you'd service a Cosmic.

>>17598122
Sure I could pack up and move to some gated community somewhere, or I could keep living in the center of downtown in an easy walking distance of all of the things I enjoy doing. When i've been walking at night recently to attend warehouse parties I've often opted for my Casio over anything nicer, but it's more that i'd rather not bang up a vintage watch than my fear of being robbed desu
>>17598129
Incredibly based

>>17598114
Sounds like you'd be fine with a Rolex then, no need to wear a Tudor to avoid getting mugged.

>>17598132
I was at a fundraiser last night and half of the men there were wearing Rolexes. All they did was brag about banging 20 year olds, complain about their kids, and admit to all the crimes they do after going too hard at the open bar. Last week I was at a fashion show and there was a group of dudes flexing shitty "iced out" DJs and OPs. I don't really care to be associated with either.

>>17598137
>I was at a fundraiser last night
>I don't really care to be associated with either.
Then stay home retard?

>>17598137
To clarify, they were all clearly ancient women's Rolexs covered in VVS and one not terribly convincing "Gold Presidential, bro"

>>17598131
How common are muggings in the downtown area where you live? I live in a big city in Southern Europe and only retarded tourists that wander off drunkenly into narrow alleyways at night get mugged here. Other crime only takes place in shitty neighborhoods at the edge of town where no sane person would ever go to anyways.

>>17598137
Rolexes are for tasteless nouveau riche fags anyway. My dad used to have one until about 18 years ago but he got rid of it after he saw a nigger on TV wear one.

>>17598137
It isn't the Rolex's fault it's worn by all kinds of people and not just watch nerds.

>>17598139
Free food, drink, and the opportunity to raise money for a member of my community battling with cancer while having the excuse to do some networking wasn't half bad anon. I'm just making fun of the sleazy dudes that think a two tone will fix there midlife crisis.

Oh I mean that's where the nightlife happens and drunk people are dumb. It's apparently much lower than the anon concerned for the safety of my tooter, but the random acts of violence keep things exciting :)
>>17598146
This one. The people at the party that were just related enough to the local billionaire to have the same last name weren't wearing Rolex, but the people that kept insisting they "knew the family" were.
>>17598148
Same reason I don't wear Gucci lmao. They have some cool stuff, I just don't want to be "that guy"

which one?

>>17598150
But gucci is only worn by poor black people, indians, and middle easterners.

>>17598122
Regardless of how rich or poor you are, how on earth do you just not go anywhere poor people are? Literally every meme richfag vacation spot on earth is surrounded by poverty and even just being in New York or LA surrounds you with bums.

>>17598110
If a watch purchase impacts your ability to meet your financial goals you’re a fucking idiot.
To make up a rule on the spot, a watch should cost the lesser of:
- 0.3% of your net worth, or
- 3% of your annual income

Worth $1M and make $100K per year? Go buy that $3K Tudor.
Worth $10M and make $1M per year? Go buy that Calatrava.

>>17598163
>just being in New York or LA surrounds you with bums
There's your problem, why would you even go to those shitholes? I live in one of the safest regions in Western Europe, as there's barely any non-whites here there's nearly no violent crime.

>>17598161

>>17598195
Yes, those people are stupid and shouldn’t be buying the watch.
It’s no wonder people have to work until they’re 65+ years old.

>>17598177
>I guarantee you somewhere you go routinely has riffraff
I live in a small city, the only riffraff here are the two beggars that sit in front of the Cathedral and they are not known to be viilent. I have to show my face at the office once per week which necessitates a 1.5 hour drive to the big city, but then I only stay in the business district where my work is located. I go on business trips to relatively dangerous places from time to time (I was in Mexico City last month for example) but then I stay in a hotel in an upscale neighborhood and taxi between that, the office and any restaurants or bars where I'll go with associates. There's no reason to ever go to a place where there's the chance you'll get mugged

>>17598161

Honestly Rolex mogs the whole watch industry to a point it's not even funny. They're literally any watchnerd wet dream. Only contrarians and literal retards will accept to throw 10k at anything else. In fact the only reason to not buy a Rolex is if you want a dress watch (and honestly the 1908 sounds like a better deal than any JLC or VC, but you fags aren't ready to hear this).

>REEEEEEE you're a brand whore
No. I'm just smart enough to admit Rolex is far superior in every way to every other brands. I too used to hate Rolex before actually reading about the brand and trying their watches.

Now cope, seethe and dilate, poorfags tranniggers. Rolex will forever be king. SIEG HEIL.

>>17598208
>There's no reason to ever go to a place where there's the chance you'll get mugged
You mean other than to live as a free fucking man? You enjoy living in a gilded cage where you couldn't and would never be able to take care of yourself like a fucking man? I'm not even saying go around getting in fights, but come on now, if you don't carry yourself like a twink ass mark nothing is going to happen to you.

>>17598214

If this was true, they would be rated IOES. Then again each of your points makes no sense since theyre all memetics

>>17598219
>You enjoy living in a gilded cage where you couldn't and would never be able to take care of yourself like a fucking man
I live in a nice upscale area, I wouldn't describe that as a cage. Also, I travel all the time, I'm just selective of where I go and I don't take any unnecessary risks. I don't understand why anyone would willingly live in a shithole like NY, San Francisco, Chicago etcétera and feel superior for doing it.

>>17598240

I hope you don't seriously believe this. There's relatively unspoiled places in every country . Last week for example I was in Cefalú, which, despite being near Palermo (the dirtiest city in Italy), is a great place to stay with minimal riffraff.

>>17598268
Bro, you're just racist. He's just a black man working hard born of modest means to a TV producer father and actress mother and he has over $90million to his name, just imagine what he could have accomplished if black people were permitted to make something of themselves in this country. Honestly the way his daughter struggles and scrounges and digs deep for the acting roles she plays in the most important films of our time such as twilight guy Batman is an inspiration to all brown people.

>>17598264
Perhaps one of the coolest man alive.

>>17598280
Where do you allegedly travel that doesn't have poor people or brown people? Name one place.

>>17598269
Yes, but keep in mind that our salaries are, on average, lower than American salaries and on top of that we pay higher taxes. There's positives and negatives to both places.

I've never found Hublot to be all that great for the money but at this point the blind hate is just silly. Same with Brands like Richard Mille and MVMT, I've never really understood having such strong opinions on brands like this. People really need to stop taking the sensational views of their favorite YouTubers so seriously.

Yes, when I was on a business trip to a city notorious for kidnappings and violent robberies. That is not comparable to being in a normal more civilized big city like Madrid or Torino where you can walk through the city center at night without worries as long as you avoid poorly lit alleyways.

>>17598381
If the moonswatch was a more fair price and they actually made enough of them to keep up with the hype I'd 100% buy one for the memes. I guess I could get one cheap now from someone that thought they were going to make money scalping them, but at this point it's more funny to let them hold that L. Maybe it'll teach people a lesson.

>>17598391
It's optional. But it's kind of hard not to end up getting sentimental about something you wear every day.

>>17598400
I don't know why that means you can't make jokes about it being a poor person's watch. You can make fun of things you love. It's not that serious.

>>17598381
I wanted to buy one, but when I saw the queue in front of the only store in my city that sold them, I decided against it. Don't regret it though, as it later turned out to be a piece of shit anyways.

This is really nice. Shame I can't go back to plastic watches and those awful straps.

Give it some proper lugs, make it out of steel, give it a sapphire crystal, charge 500 bucks, and I'll buy one.

My Christopher Ward C60 Quartz (2016) battery died
I took the battery out and only about a year later have I got around to replacing it, but it seems to be dead
The battery is fine, I tested it with a multimeter.
Could the quartz movement die without a charge for such a long time?

>>17598419
I wonder if the Timex Q reissue had anything to do with it.

Dress watch with a Wendys dial? casual watch with Autozone?

>>17598780
>It is by far the least likely of my watches to run out of wind because of it.
This is such a non-issue. If you're wearing it, it will run indefinitely. If you take it off, it will stop eventually. If it stops, literally just set the time again in seconds.

That said, it's placed much better than on Seiko, excluding the few where it's on the rear display.

>>17598801
I wish the accutron was made or the spring drive was cheaper. Such a cool sweeping seconds hand I'm not sure many other companies are even trying to replicate.

>>17598804

Not that this is any cheaper than Grand Seiko, but

>>17598419
Link? I love it

>>17598811
Yeah accutrons are fuckin rad and supposedly the *ONLY* reason they can't remake that movement is because the machine that made a couple of the parts was destroyed and nobody can figure out how to create those parts. I'm sure that machine in R&D and engineering alone would cost millions todays and they'd never be able to sell enough watches to break even on the machine.

>>17597923
>but the thing with Tudor is that they supposedly try to channel the vintage diver designs and from the front it certainly looks like it
you're dumb as fuck for saying this and you should feel bad

Falling for Grand Seiko dials is perfectly acceptable. GS is probably the most innovative in the game right now when it comes to dials.

>>17599331
>Has Rolex ever made a steel Daydate?
Yes, but they were all one-offs or prototypes. Never in production.
They haven't because that's not what the watch is for. It's intended to be a top-level luxury piece for them.

>>17599333
>tfw you're too poor to get to know what day it is

>>17599333
>>17599341
It's pretty fucking bullshit when you think back to the roots of the company of wanting to make practical useful timepieces. The entire point of the Oyster Perpetual was to have a simple more affordable watch for people that just want to know what fucking time it is, now even the OP is over $6000. For the most basic bitch watch possible.

I'm not a fan of the Day-Date (don't like day and date windows) but I wish Rolex used the president bracelet on more watches.

>>17599352
Agreed. They offer a version of it for the women's Datejust, why not the men's?
Then again, they don't offer a women's Day-Date, which is why they make a solid gold women's Datejust, while a solid gold men's Datejust hasn't been available for some time, IIRC.

That particular bracelet is associated with precious metal and I don't think Rolex wants to dilute that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN3DBd7Ilj4

These watches are a complete waste of money, grow up.

>>17599370
For some reasons Rolex is extremely autistic about their bracelets. You can't just walk into an AD and buy any bracelet even though it's compatible with your Rolex. You have to bring your watch and see if it's been greenlighted by Rolex.

For example, the jubilee can be installed on the Oyster Perpetual. But because Rolex hasn't greenlighted it, they won't sell you one. Jubilee = Datejust, Sky Dweller and GMT Master II only.
