/fa/ - Fashion

I'm going to Japan in a few weeks.
I want to buy a nice Japanese watch while I'm there, maybe around the $500-1000 range.

Any specifically JDM models or interesting Japanese brands I should look at?

>implying I'm not going to end up with a cookie cutter Grand Seiko anyways

did the faggot jannies add some new rule where you can’t link to previous threads that have gone past the bump limit?

>>17608605
It's because you fucked it up.
>>17606530 works fine.

Is Citizen's Tsuyosa line any good or am I better off finding something else in that price range?

>>17608602
I've decided what I want

>>17608610
i swear that’s what i did. >>17606530

i’m going to keep my eye on these jannies, we don’t pay their salaries for nothing.

Is the casioak bluetooth the best option at it's price? Doesn't have to be a resistant watch.

I unironically really like the Mr. Jones Perfectly Useless Afternoon. Similar vibe and actually tells time, and there's an automatic version now.

Anyone can ID Ice-T's watch?

If you are after function, probably yes

Just got a Sea-Gull 1963, maybe will be delivered tomorrow, what I got myself into?

>>17608776
Lots of China women panty droppings

>>17608776
My fiance is chinese and I always think about getting a seagull to wear for chinese holidays with her family. I'm not 100% sure if that's offensive or inappropriate though.

which one to get
state your reason

LOOOMMMM!!!

>>17608809
Right. More color.

>>17608809
Left. Thinner, classy subdued face, not overly colorful. Looking at YT reviews sealed the deal for me.

where should I look for vintage omegas?
they're like the sexiest watches ever and I want one

>>17608865
Largely depends of where you live. America? Europe? Asia?

>>17608878
US

>>17608880
The easiest, but more expensive, is local watch dealers and american located ebay sellers, maybe some antique stores.
In the other hand, the place where you might find a real treasure for little money is in small town's antique faires but you need to read and learn a lot, and be prepared to pay if the opportunity appears. Ain't no place for soft buyers. I mean, taking a few grands at least when you visit one.

>>17608883
thanks, I'll be on the lookout at those places

>>17608900
You're welcome, m8.

>>17608809

>>17608804
It's allegedly one of the best sold watch models in China, it's far from offensive or inappropriate.

>>17608809
I like the bracelet better on right

>>17608914
Sure, but generally the reason chinese people come to America is because china sucks, so products produced in china with chinese national symbols on them might be met with mixed feelings.

I love the Explorer 2 (black dial) so much bros.

good morning sirs
it seems my matutinal bowel movement is tardy today

>>17608965
Sometimes I love this watch and don't understand why it's so inexpensive, then other times I look at it and hate it.

I think if you don't notice the bezel engravings, the proportions look weird.

Can anyone see an issue with this Tudor? I really like it and tempted to buy it.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134544491880

>>17608988
Looks aight.

Add on £500 for a service, at least you can do it locally though since it's an eta.

>>17608987
Looks fine to me. It's a mountaineering watch, it's supposed to look sturdy. Besides you can't really miss the engravings, they're heavily contrasted.

>>17609000
Yeah i dig it, it's kinda serica-ish - just sometimes it reminds me of a badly proportioned seiko mod case.

>>17608992
I've since found this one...
https://www.chrono24.co.uk/tudor/prince-oysterdate-linen-dial--id27706600.htm
Looks a lot better no?

Rise and shine

>>17608611
I wasn't all that impressed when I handled one in person. I didn't like the Miyota 8xxx movement, the paltry 50m of water resistance, or the crown position, but the overall build quality was better than similarly priced Seikos.

>>17608699
Richard Mille? The wrist angle doesn't help.

>>17608941
I wouldn't if I were you. I think it would come across as too tryhard and cringy.

>>17608804
>>17608914
Rolex, Longines, Cartier, and Omega are seen as the top brands in China. Outside of bored foreign collectors, only Chinese hipsters, boomers, and nationalists care about Sea-gull or Shanghai watches.
>picrel

>>17609033
Since I had the idea of buying the Seagull for Chinese New Year and Walking the Mountain and so on I've thought better of it. But I'll still probably eventually get one just to have in in the rotation occasionally, because $300 for what is effectively a swiss mechanical chronograph is really fucking hard to beat for the value. Even if it breaks after a few years and you find it would be cheaper to buy a new one than to fix it, fuck it, buy a new one. Or don't. But you could buy 10 of these pieces of shit and still be under a fraction of the cost of a Daytona.

>>17608968
saar please do not be redeeming the cultural appropriation please

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285263182652

What do we think of this beauty?

>>17609033
>Outside of bored foreign collectors, only Chinese hipsters, boomers, and nationalists care about Sea-gull or Shanghai watches
Bullshit. The movement in the Sea-gull is the most sold mechanical movement in the world, and most of these sales are made in China.

What's /wt/'s opinion on vintage dress watches from PP, VC, Omega, Longines etc., in smaller sizes like 33/32/34mm?
Some seem to "look larger" than the measurements, so a 33's not so visually off compared with a 35/36 on the wrist.
Would you ever wear one? Or is it 38/40+ only for dress watches for (you)?

>>17609157
nothing wrong with them if you have a smaller wrist
always better to have a watch that's a bit small than a bit big

>>17609157
I'm a brutish manlet and I think that anything sub 38 looks woman tier/toyish.
>>17609153
Picrel is one of my warches, alpinist and it is like 39.5 mm + protruding lugs. I dont think much smaller watches can suit a man. But I also know that I'm wrong and dress watches are supposed to be small. Its all subjective.

>>17609151
i own this, it's my gym watch. i can answer any questions if you want.

What do you guys think of this model Seamaster? It seems to be the perfect blend of the newer tech without the overcomplicated new wavy dials.

I once turned down a Datejust for £2300.
Please pay your respects.

>>17609193
for me it's not a seamaster without the wave

>>17609194
old DJs are not much better than modern Seiko 5s in terms of insides and finishing
i will never understand buying something that runs +10s / day, can get magnetized and dies on any accidental drop just for the logo

>>17609197
Its my favourite looking watch so I'm still bitter about it.

>>17609193
>>17609195
For me it's midsize quartz Seamaster.
>Tfw these used to be around £800

>>17609200
Build one using AliExpress or Raffles parts.

>>17609194
That's nothing man. Two years ago I've turned down a yellow dial OP from my AD. I just bought a Submariner and had no money left.
A few week later, Rolex discontinued the yellow OP and price skyrocketed on the grey market. You can't find one under 15k.
Still hurts.

>>17609210
Oof. At least you have a Sub.

What do you guys think of the Railmaster '57?

>>17609214
>What do you guys think of the Railmaster '57?
I actually like it quite a bit. It looks like a vintage piece, but is built like a modern one.

I think it was a limited edition though, something like 3,500 pieces.

>>17609026
I quite like this seiko. Why is it $400?

>>17609238
400? Where are you looking? I got mine for 50€ lel

I always hated the feel of wearing a watch. It felt like I was wearing a shackle. Does anybody have any experience with pocket watches? Would they recommend a certain brand or model?

>>17609254

>>17609238
Here's one exactly like mine, and a nice green one, both a bit over $100.

To be fair, they were laughing more at his ability to get you pull out the pocket watch by asking you the time after telling his friends that’s what it was and them not believing him than the fact he had a pocket watch to begin with

>>17609254
Apple iPhone is a pretty good pocket watch, has other features too like a chronograph and alarm. Full perpetual calendar with day/month/year complications.

so HOT

>>17608600
I’m relatively new to watches so apologies I’d I mess up the terminology or don’t know what I’m talking about.
I have a chunk of change I want to spend flexing on poors and making Stacy think she can baby trap me so I’m looking for a nice watch.
One thing I want is the watch to be all black or at least a Matte finish. I don’t like non-metallic straps so no nato straps or anything like that please. I’m also not opposed to buying used.
>Your budget
Max $8k.
>Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
I’m not sure I care. As long as it’s on the larger size (so I think this means mostly pilot watches?) and meets my other requirements I’m good.
>Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Automatic.
>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Enough water resistance for casual swimming. I meet with people from other time zones so 1 (or more?) additional time zones would be nice.
>Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Bracelet.
> Wrist size or desired watch size
I like the bigger sized watches but I think at least 40mm would be sufficient face size.

>>17609296
Who is your TD and how do you pay for your orders? I think the chinks are getting a little out of hand with the pricing of reps.

>>17609300
Sorry, I don’t help racists.
Read the /r/reptime guide

>>17609298
You could check out an old Breitling Blackbird if you don't mind not having a second TZ. They're also way under your budget and you basically get a 7750 you can have serviced pretty much anywhere. If you don't mind paying more and moving up to a bigger size also consider the newer big date Blackbirds.

>>17609308
Here's the 44mm big date Blackbird.

>>17609153
>not a sarb017

>>17609193
New one looks better to me. I like the waves.

>>17609308
>>17609312
Thanks, I’m looking into them.

>>17609298
If you're lucky enough to get one at an AD, a larger model Explorer, OP, or DJ might work. You're not flexing on poors if you don't have a Rolex

>>17609298
Also consider the Sinn U2 S. It doesn't have a "real" GMT complication though.

>>17609318
The waves have literally made this into the ugliest watch available in the market.
It looks like a watch for boomers to wear while they golf.

>>17609321
He doesn't want it shiny though, it has to be matte or black.

>>17609298
Please, please don't spend $8k on anything other than a Rolex. You can get a 42mm Explorer II for that money, water resistant and has a GMT function.

>>17609298
Do you want the case itself to be black or just the dial? If just the dial you have a lot of options but the best for flexing would obviously be a Rolex, I would say Explorer II since it’s matte and not shiny/blingy as most other Rolexes. You can get them used for right around 8. If you want a black case look at those IWC Top Gun pilot’s watches in black ceramic. They’re cool looking imo.

>>17609324
All watches are made for boomers to wear when they golf.

>>17609147
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianjin_Seagull
Tianjin Seagull Watch Group (Chinese: 天津海鸥) is a watchmaking company located in Tianjin, China. Founded in 1955, it is the world's largest manufacturer of mechanical watch movements, producing one quarter of total global production by volume.[1]

>>17609328
>42mm Explorer II
hahahahahha why not just take out out in $100 bills and place them directly in the trash bin?

>>17609321
Taking a look.
>>17609323
That looks nice. I don’t know anything about Sinn, I’ll have to research the brand.
>>17609328
Why do you say don’t spend that much on a non-Rolex?
>>17609330
I’d like the case itself to be black like the Sinn that just got posted.

>>17609344
Nah if he can live with a brushed finish then the Explorer II is what fits his needs the most.

>>17609347
You wont' find many or any luxury watches in black. Maybe get a black Seamaster with a black bezel?

Thoughts on 5 links like pic rel?

>>17609354
I like them. Aren't they called engineer bracelets?

>>17609354
I think it looks good but I haven't worn any watches with a bracelet like it. That particular bracelet also has no microadjustments iirc.

>>17609356
I didn't know that, thank you Anon

>>17609353
There are a bunch of black ceramic luxury watches.

>>17609365
None I know of with a metal bracelet though, which was also one of anon's requirements.

>>17609366
>>17609365
Just get the royal oak, only $98K retail

>>17609371
or the zenith is like $15k I think

>>17609366
True, not many in his price range at least. These guys look ok I guess.

>>17609377
>>17609378
Damn, maybe I need to save more, that looks really nice.

>>17609383
If you wanna flex though nobody knows wtf a zenith is or how much it costs.

>>17609386
I’ll just leave the price tag on it.

>>17609383
You'll grow tired of these. They're basically fashion watches.
As >>17609328 suggested, the smartest choice is to buy a second hand Rolex. They're timeless, have excellent movements, and you can't find something better to flex on poors or impress women.

>>17608602
Some Kurono are only sold in the physical store, kind of a gaijin trap but they're good looking

>>17609193
I'm of two minds on the matter, such that it's both nice and legible and neat but also that compared with the older Brosnan bond types with the subtle wave, they're too bland.
However I think they're much better than the current wave which is cartoonishly exaggerated such that it's incredibly fugly. As I understand it the size of the newer model is also somehow off and the pic related has better proportions.
I have no idea how the co-axial calibre within this model is and whether or not it lies within the "cucked marketing gimmick" period of ETA's attempt of realizing Daniels' escapement in a mass produced movement. From my understanding later developments have been much better than the older ones. Might want to make sure you know what you're getting and what caveats there might be movement wise too.
But, just based on looks this version looks better than the current one but worse than the really old one. I liked the blue one so much after staring at it on someone's wrist; thought the sky was being reflected off it was such a nice deep blue, and almost bought one many times when traveling through airport duty-free's. I still keep a lookout for them on the used market and they're snatched up pretty quickly where I live whereas the cartoon-wave ones languish for months without any takers. Might just be a price thing though.
A possible detractor for the black one is that it could be accused of looking too much like a submariner. Whatever.

New G-SHOCK square with a heart sensor bros. Just in time to save those dumb vaxxies

>>17609298
Rolex Air King maybe? It's not that large but it isn't small either.
There's a few Tudors that are completely black, they aren't worth it though imo.
(pic unrelated)

>>17609298
imma buy this when i get the money

>>17609417
Just buy a rep for $438.
It’s the same thing bud. The movement will be cheaper to fix and if it tarnished you can just get it re-plated.

>>17609308
>>17609312
Whenever I look at Breitling watches, the only word that comes to my mind is WIGGER.

>>17609214
Fucking gorgeous watch.

>>17609298
You'll probably figure this out on your on through reading, but black watches aren't as popular for a few reasons. Firstly the material they're made out of is either a coated steel or a solid ceramic.
The former will scratch one day, somehow, but it'll happen. Whether you care enough to baby that shit or will not cry when the black finish is marred by little silver lines as the base metal is exposed is up to your own temperament. The latter can crack or shatter with enough impact, but it's more scratch resistant compared with the coated watches.
Not all black coatings are the same, I have no idea about ceramic bodies.
The best black coatings are made by two German makers: Sinn and Damasko. Damasko wins out in this regard as far as durability of the coating goes, but it's still a coating at the end of the day and can possibly scratch without hope of a simple polish job like a steel, gold, platinum watch can have to remedy things.
However both Sinn and Damasko aren't for flexing. Only watchfags will know what they are. Black watches also aren't eyecatching enough for normalfags and whores, who as it has been shown time and time again notice glittery sparkly shit more than anything else.
Magpies.

I don't recommend black watches unless you look forward to the rugged mess some actual black soldier's watches end up looking like. It's a possibility. Maybe you'll be fine for the rest of your life without a scratch, it's not like it's just so fragile like it's painted on, but more likely not: a scrape here, a ding there, whether your fault or some other clutz; just be aware of what a marred black coating can look so you know what's possibly in store for you.

>>17609214
I wish Omega did more simple tool watches like this. It's infuriating they won't do a proper reissue of pic related.
These dumb kikes at Swatch have so many classic designs in their catalogue but they keep shitting out ugly Aqua Terra.

>>17609214
My favourite Omega and it would be a grail of mine if the handset was a little bit classier

>>17609443
All they have to do is release a revamped 2254.50.
Done.
Instant success.
But no. As you say, shitting out ever more AQ's or Planet Fags or this current wavey dial SM that looks like a kid's drawing of the ocean on a treasure map.

>>17608910
That looks like an equivalent of royal Oak
Niger watch

>>17609417
That's an excellent choice. Buy it and don't listen to replica negros.

What a surprise, the person against replica watches is unable to express themselves without resorting to hurling racist epithets.
You definitely have the high ground here.
Now, explain to me in words why I should spend $22,000 on watch when I can but the same thing for for 98% less money. Challenge: try to do it without using the n-word.

>>17609446
>My favourite Omega and it would be a grail of mine if the handset was a little bit classier
What sort of hands would you prefer? What do you mean by "classier"?

>>17609466
The big arrowhead is a little bit too "dive-y" for that style of watch, in my opinion
Ideally, lumed pencil hands would be perfect, in my opinion, narrow sword hands would look good too, I think
Maybe classier is not the right word, I admit.

>>17609189
Have you had another timex? How does it compare?
Any other impressions? Does it wear well for a gym shitter?

>>17609461
Sigh. It's not the same thing.

>>17609461
>explain to me in words why I should spend $22,000 on watch when I can but the same thing for for 98% less money
It's clear to me that you have too much melanin to understand the reasons civilized people look down on things like fakes and chimp behaviour. That's a shame.
Luxury can't be bought on the cheap, you're just fooling yourself.

>>17609461
>I can but the same thing for for 98% less money.
No, you can't, retard.

>>17609457
>>17609457
Why would I rely on a TD for sizing advice?
I just went to the IWC boutique to try on the watch before buying.

>>17609483
watches are jewelry, all that matters is their appearance.
the simple timekeeping function works identically, but can be serviced much more cheaply so from that perspective is actually better.
as for value, you’re better of sticking that $21,600 into a diversified portfolio than having it locked up in a consumer good

>>17609472
That handset was what the original in 1957 used as well. It's unique, that's for sure.
By contrast, here's a Railmaster CK2914-2 from 1958 with pencil hands.
Looks kind of boring.

>>17609492
Too many words just to say you're salty cause you can't afford the real deal.

>>17609268
Thanks fren maybe I was misremembering. I don't like green but I'll keep looking for one. Is there any risk to buying a vintage quartz? Like do they need to be "serviced" or just swap the battery when the hands stop?

greetings from /g/

>>17609492
>watches are jewelry, all that matters is their appearance
You get jewelry either because it makes you happy or you get it to flex. If you're happy with a rep I'm sorry for your poor taste, if you want to flex with a rep it's doubly sad. Charlatan values

>>17609498
We’ve been over this on /wt/ before, I’m worth $1.6M. I could afford to buy gen.
I could literally buy a MUT Moon with the cash in my checking account right now.
But try again to explain it to me: why should I buy genuine when a replica costs 1% to 10% of the price?

>>17609501
IDK about the risks, i think these movements are serviceable, they're not like your bottom of the barrel non-jeweled cheap quartz movements that you get in a fashion watch, it's a proper movement. I bought mine 3 years ago and the battery is still going.

>>17609507
>I-I can afford it, I swear!
>I buy trash watches because I like them!

>>17609515
I’m still struggling, maybe I’m slow. Explain it to me again: the watch is identical, except that it is cheaper to service.
Why would I pay $30K for something that I can buy for $500 or less?
Hate to break it to you, but luxury retailers got greedy and the culture is shifting against them:

>>17609515
if you can’t tell them apart (which you can’t because dad watch posted here for weeks before telling us it was a rep) what makes the replica trash?

>>17609519
>The culture is shiting against them!

>>17609522

>>17609506
Why wouldn’t someone be happy with jewelry they like because it’s a fake?
It looks the same and functions the same. Seems good to me.

>>17609523
The real thing does, yes. The chinese pot metal on your wrist? Well... for you is good enough, and I guess that's what matters.

The entire point of the JLC is the finishing, if you're gonna buy a chinese rep that looks similar until you bring a magnifying glass to it, might as well get a fucking seiko instead

>>17609524
Hey, I’m willing to pay for things when they can’t be replicated for Pennie’s on the dollar. So I pay for a NYT subscription.
Watches? We’ll those CAN be replicated for Pennie’s on the dollar, so…

>>17609525
It's pretending to be something it isn't, the deep-seated dishonesty needed to enjoy a deception like that is an ugly character trait.

>>17609530
>you can only tell the watches apart using a magnifying glass
>you can’t tell the watches apart with the naked eye
The watches are the same.

If I want a $438 JLC, I’ll just get one. Simple as.

Good evening, bros. Its may and its +5 celcius.

>>17609535
That’s the best argument you’ve got?
Cool, I’ll stick with buying reps.
As I’ve also said here, I always tell my friends they’re replicas.

>>17609537
if you want a $438 JLC lookalike with neither the finishing nor the in-house movement you're basically a brand whore

>>17609521
Just because they look the same on dadwatch's shitty camera doesn't mean they look, feel or perform the same in real time, anon.
Chinese movements are still trash, and replicas are not an exception. Yes, you can service them, but is still paying for straight up trash.
As a matter of fact, I would be surprised reppers don't just throw their watches on a landfill when they stop working three months after buying them

>>17609533
pay for some fucking english lesson's

>>17609551
You do you.

>>17609560
Autocorrect, I’m on my phone. Probably should have proofread before I clicked post.

>>17609555
It looks nicer than any other $450 watch you can show me. I guarantee it.
>>17609557
I have a local watchsmith that works on reps. You can get a Miyota or 2832 service for very little money. If it breaks, through it out and buy a gen ETA for a few hundred bucks, easy.

Imagine saying this when Rolex and Omega charge $1,000 to service a Daytona or a Speedmaster. You can easily buy two new reps at every service interval for that amount. Laughable.

>>17609565
alright fair enough. still gonna talk shit on fakers tho.

>>17609569
Yeah, but I only have your word for it. And you buy reps, so I don't find you trustworthy.
So yeah, how often do you throw your watches? Every three months? Six?

>>17609573
Throw my watches? Like throw them out?
I don’t, I take them to my local watchmaker as required. A replica is no more or less durable than a genuine watch. I buy replicas that have Asian clones of ETAs or Valjouxs. They can be repaired easily, or in the worst case you can do a full movement swap with a genuine ETA or Valjoux for a few hundred bucks.

>>17609569
I wouldn't be so sure

>>17609594
Islander-sama... I KNEEL

>>17609594
Why would you buy that for $400 over any other automatic for $120?

>>17609594
Imagine thinking this looks better than a Master Ultra Thin Moon

>>17609602
But it looks better than a Ching Ching Special MUT-556 or however the rep is called

>>17609507
If you just want to convince other people, go ahead. Otherwise the movement and finishing just isn't the same and if you like to hold it and appreciate it it probably won't do the trick.

>>17609594
Oh hi Mahk!

>>17609603
The rep and the genuine look the same.
I would bet $1,000 that unless you hold them side by side, you’d never be able to spot the fake.
And even then, it’s very hard. Some experts struggle to spot the reps (from the NWBIG list) even when they have both in hand, until they pull out the loupe.

I own 2 Rolex and I'm about to buy my 3rd one and I'm unironically fine with retards buying chink fakes.

A) I prefer their money to be in the pockets of chinks rather than the kikes running Swatch (let's be honest, the best they can afford is a Hamilton, Mido or whatever)
B) the more fakes they buy, the less money they have to buy real Rolex, meaning more Rolex for me
C) It's always hilarious to meet someone (usually an Arab or a Paki) who obviously can't afford a luxury watch wearing one. Poorfags being poorfags, they'll always go for the most flashy, complicated, hard to fake watches. I love playing naive and ask them if it's a real one, and see them panicking as they realize I'm way wealthier than them.

Any watch you want for up to £2000 that you have to keep forever.
What would you get?
Pic unrelated.

>>17609666
None, a forever watch just doesn't exist until $6.5k or so.

>>17609668
That's what I'm finding. Even vintage? It will have added sentimental value

>>17609671
Vintage is even worse because if it's something good it's even more expensive, you can only buy complete junk for less money.

>>17609743

>>17609738
Honestly I recommend you try it. Reps are dirt cheap, what do you have to lose?

great thread everybody

>>17609808
Agreed, one of the best we've had in a while.

>>17609769
I mean, I like the parchment dial on the left (except the logo), BUT if its $400 with an off the shelf movement, off the shelf case and bracelet, where's the value?

>>17609769
Fuck off Marc

>>17609817
$400 is pretty typical for a microbrand with a 3rd party movement that isn't built with literal slave labor.

>>17609844
>>17609817
Even a san martin with a high beat movement is gonna come in at about $300-400

>>17609769
Ha ha, what a story Mahk!

>>17609451
>>17609443
Still have my near mint condition 2531 here and never letting go. It doubled in worth compared to what I paid five years ago.

Would like one of these vintage Semens but the ask is too high. Bought a nice condition Speedy recently at killer price without box papers.

That's enough Omega for a while tho.

>>17609849
I don't know what a san martin is. I like that plain but still classic overall look.

> Your budget
300€ poorfag
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Dress with preferably black dial, blue and white also ok. Bauhaus, minimalist or nothing too distracting.
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
The budget, complication and size dictates it's quartz.
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Moonphase
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
An actual dress watch so leather. I'm not Bond.
> Wrist size or desired watch size
<38 mm as I'm a chinlet. Besides, 40mm isn't even a dress watch anymore.

So basically, I want a cheap small moonphase dress watch.

>>17610007
Fake JLC Master Ultra Thin Moonphase. 39mm if you can bear it.

>>17610007
Don't buy fakes. Ignore niggers.

How do people stand jubilee bracelets? Doesn't all the rattling and brushing your fingers over the sharp edges of the inner links drive you nuts?

>>17610010
I won't but I have no qualms about buying a legit chinaman watch but it would obviously be a bonus if it was an actual watch brand. Any recommendations? This is the look essentially.

Ok m8, I think I may found something very special for you. I was looking for a pic of something else to suggest, another watch I know, when I came across this gorgeous one. If it weren't so small, I might even consider it for myself. If you like it and buy it, please come back and post pics of it.

you can get a shit ton of older dress watches , you can also get newer seamasters too if you look

>>17610042
The bezel looks bulgeous. Must be that gold rim which makes it seem so crude. Shame there's only one picture. I tried to search for more info and I was bombarded by a plethora of night sky inspired Citizen watches. I know I didn't want a busy watch face before but these are exquisite. This probably measures even more needless celestial movements than a basic moonphase. I must have one. Thanks for the inspo, Anon!

>>17610066
You can also get an assload of Islanders.

>>17610035
better than the cartoonish face and bezel, that's for sure

Unironically speaking my seagull shitter is finished better than the prx chrono.
I tried prx chrono on and it's also massive lug to lug.

>>17610155
Really? Damn that sucks, what about the standard PRX? Also you have any recommendations on the same price range?

is this just a rolex explorer cope watch?

>>17610205
I actually like it

>>17609214
I like it, but I hate cream markers, that fake vintage style is typical of a cheap micro-brand. The Omega 2504.52.00 is better. I prefer the Rolex Explorer 1.

>>17610205
You could say that but since all current models of the explorer have applied markers I don't think I would consider this a cope. I don't like the all polished surfaces, however.

Thoughts on this longines hour angle? 38mm, hunter caseback, the gold disc in on the dial is rotatable and they either have a an ETA movement or an end-of-the-line in house movement that was later sold to Breguet.

Is the silver Tudor Black Bay 58 a meme?
I like the idea of a case with a more unusual material like silver, and it has a certain understated elegance to it...

>>17610424
just stop being poor and buy a proper precious metal watch like a day date.

>>17610066
>you can get a shit ton of older dress watches , you can also get newer seamasters too if you look
Which one exactly? Where do you "look" for something at 50% discount?

Got the oem black nato strap for my omega smp 300. Feels like a new watch bros

>>17610131
especially considering i got it for 18
might actually stock up on them they have made a bunch of funny dials and cost next to nothing and keep the time surprisingly well

>>17610424
>Is the silver Tudor Black Bay 58 a meme?
Yeah. After Tooter insisted they created a silver alloy that won't tarnish, owners immediately began reporting that it does, in fact tarnish.
The problem is made worse by the fact that, whatever alloy Tooter made, it doesn't just get darker like normal silver, instead it turns piss-yellow.

What happens if you chip the ceramic?

>>17610527
>What happens if you chip the ceramic?
Despite what internet memelords will have you believe, ceramic watches don't chip that often. I've personally witnessed them dropped onto a hard kitchen floor and be fine.

In the rare instances that one breaks, the owner will post it online, usually in a half-assed attempt to get the company to feel bad and replace the case for free.

Thought ? Got it today
I hate the sand blasted finish so the first thing I did was to polish the case with cape cod. You can call me a retard

>>17610569
Actually looks pretty good. I do wish that they would have gone full-functionality and added some really strong lume. I had one and thought the lume was pretty poor.

>>17610495
Go for it!

>>17610495
Probably the first ceramic watch that I've liked. And its bulky enough that it'll probably feel better on the wrist being ceramic. I reckon go for it, but check its running well before you do.

The lugs are hanging off either end of your arm. You really shouldn't be wearing anything bigger than 36mm. The brass coloration is nice, field watches are boring and a $6 nylon strap with a $400 watch looks stupid.
