You either are a disgusting creep/borderline serial killer or a really cool guy with no inbetween. Its 4chins, so its probably former.

Hublot... welp

omega is the best price to quality/heritage brand out there. rolex is small pp cope H5MR88

>>17610736
Anon, I'm not disgusting. Believe me

>>17610732
It looks better than most Hublots, not gonna lie.
It's just...I've never known anyone who's actually bought one.

I love this shitter so much its unreal.
>>17610726
Anon your bezel isn't lined up to 12. Can you move it a bit.
Thanks

Need a old af vintage white dial dress watch for a wedding. Anything better than a GP or Omega Seamaster for ~$500

how much do you talk watches
thread after thread

its watches

>>17610757
Is it a themed wedding with the poorfag hobo in the great depression theme lmfao ? ?

For me, it's the RolSEX SEXplorer II.
The best watch ever made.

>>17610757
Isn't the servicing cost for a watch like that going to be more than the price you buy it for?
And with a watch that old, I'd expect you'll have to service it quite frequently.

>>17610759
No, mostly it's a couple of rich assholes using this general as their blog.

>>17610764
>Isn't the servicing cost for a watch like that going to be more than the price you buy it for?

Not really. You're not going to wear it daily. As long as it runs it will be reasonably accurate for the few hours at a time that you wear it.

>>17610759
Surprisingly little, actually. It's mostly just talking shit about brands(not any particular watches, just literal brand wars) and bragging about who has more money or property.

>>17610750
kek

>>17610760

Im only wearing it once or twice. Rather get something cool and old that is also swiss. Planning on getting a Reverso next so Im not a hobo

>effortlessly mogs every other stainless steel sports watch.
>can be bought at MSRP immediately in any store.

My dad gifted me his Cartier. Should I go fix the glass or keep it that way?

>>17610764
Would be nice if it ran well but honestly don't care that much. Would just wear it a handful of times

>>17610806
If you're never going to get rid of it, you might as well have Cartier freshen it up. If you plan on selling it, the amount you'd be able to sell it for would not make up the cost in servicing it.

>>17610805
Define "any store."

>>17610806
How did he know you were gay?

>>17610805
>can be bought at MSRP immediately in any store.
I was at ALDI and didnt see any vacherons

>>17610821
Probably because he broke his wrist fisting his own asshole, clearly a rite of passage in the family.

>>17610810
Yea, its better to fix it and idk keep it in good shape to gift it to my kid.
>>17610821
>>17610825
lol please dont talk to me fatherless retards. No need to be jealous

>>17610754
Okay, okay, best I can do, anon.

>>17610821
>>17610806
Just look at the bend in his wrist lmfao.

>>17610821
Really? A dress watch makes you gay now? A Cartier is too feminine for you?
Does every watch have to be a huge dive watch to be "masculine" enough?

>>17610805
lmao both your points are wrong retard

>>17610844
*mogs every other watches ever made*

>>17610844

>>17610853
They don't care.

Ive got a Seiko 5 and a digital Casio, what completes the shitter trifecta?

>>17610863
Nice. Were you already wearing a Rolex when you walked in? That OP has a gorgeous green.

>>17610865
That’s some other guy replying to you but yeah I bought an explorer from them. And they have no pieces to sell anyway so who cares what they think honestly.

I want to get a g shock gw-5000-u to replace my gwm-5610 with negative display, but I was waiting to see if they'd release a 5000 special edition for their 40th anniversary.
I think now it's safe to say they won't, right?

Why can I not find Pulsar PW3001 anywhere anymore?

When an international conglomerate talks about “”””Heritage””””, I chuckle a bit lol. There’s only a decent brands with “””””heritage”””””. The rest are just Swiss shit

>>17611050
Speak it, brother. Something like an Islander has more heritage than any corporate-owned watchlet can ever have.

I have literally the double of that collection.

>>17611099
there are no good reps of the GP or Langes, so…

>>17611099
I bet talking to the guy who owns these is mind numbing

>>17611191

>>17610720
Watches look great on their own when not on wrist. When I see watches on most people, the watches look weird or out of place. Does anyone feel the same? Is there a name for this?

>>17611341

How is it going, my friends?
It's raining like a mother fucker in here, hence the GP monster.

>>17611341

>>17611379
Good morning. It's a beautiful sunny day here.

>>17611478
Good morning indeed m8, tho it's still quite rainy and early on my side. Great looking strap you have there, btw.

>>17611444
I'm no richfag, but I do scuba whith my Sew Hawk, although only on vacations. Why not?

>>17611441
That, my friend, is an old Casio "Twin Resist" trt 500 (picrel)

I'm thinking of adding a little color to my life.
Shouldn't I?

>>17611341
Most people wear watches in a wrong arm position (top of the wrist bone), also most of the time these watches are too big so the lugs cover the entire arm.

>>17611478

>Time is read via the hand rotating along the minute track at the bottom of the dial (if it can be called that?). The hand itself is attached to one of three hour carriages which house the rotating hour satellites. As one hour phases out of view at the top of the hour, the next rotates neatly into place at the other end for the process to begin again. No running seconds or date windows or other such nonsense. Instead, we get far more interesting displays that represent the distance (in kilometers) the earth travels along its axis in 20 minutes (555), and the other the distance traveled by the earth around the sun in the same time (35,740).

>>17611589

>>17611379
This watch is weird but ngl it works. Like a macho diver on steroids.

>>17611540
WAIT, what position am I supposed to wear my watch on? I always wear it on the side of the bone closer to my hand. Am I "supposed" to wear it further up my arm? Do I have an 8" wrist instead of a 7.5" wrist or some shit?

>>17611669
Trying it out right now and it looks dumb and slips down closer to the hand when I walk. I like the increased hand mobility though. I wonder if I've been wearing my watch like a sperg or if alternatively I'm going to start wearing my watch like a sperg.

>>17611699
I wonder, though, are people so insecure about their choices that the only counter they have to any criticism is "you're jealous"?

There's been only one richfag here, the JLC Anon, who never accused others of being jealous or poor. He accepted criticism and banter, and countered with his own. Of course, he fucking left.

>>17611676
The knuckle on your arm should stop the watch from riding up toward your hand. I wear mine just below the knuckle basically, if that makes sense

>>17611714
If this thread is any indication, yes. If you call a Lange or richard mille ugly it obviously must be because you are poor and coping and seething and couldn't just be because you don't like gigantic power reserve indicators or comically large cases.

>>17611539
Damasko make good watches so if you like it go for it. I personally prefer the DA36 layout though. I'd also save and find a model with the hardened coating + bracelet if it were me, it costs a lot more but the tech is incredible

>>17611723
I feel like it's really hard to justify buying a damasko when sinn is in the same price range.

>>17611715
Thanks, I'll try it out but I don't think I have much of a knuckle.

>2023
>not 3D printing your watches

>>17611099
Whoever owns this has such a deeply upsetting lack of personality that i can’t even begin to feel sorry for them. This collection sucks, those are just trendy expensive watches, for a rich wanker who haven’t felt anything in ages to flex for anonymous, uninterested, people online

>>17611742
>made in delet
what is going on here?

Seiko 1st gen black Monster, and Jesse.

>>17611726
I own a Sinn but disagree. Damasko offer similar if not slightly better manufacturing tolerances and you get submarine steel for way cheaper. I still bought a Sinn due to preferring their designs but if one was to have a preference for the look of Damasko I think you're getting better bang for your buck. Sinn 856 is 2.2k whole DS30 is 1.5k

>>17611747
it's not a rolex though

>>17611714
>I wonder, though, are people so insecure about their choices that the only counter they have to any criticism is "you're jealous"?
Of course.

Look at Fat Mortadello, for example. If you say anything about not liking his watch, you can guarantee he's going to respond with one of the four image memes he uses plus ">seething".
If he was more secure (and if he knew more about watches) he would know that some of his watches are designed to be polarizing, but he still reacts like a bitch.

I don't mean to single him out, specifically, but he's someone whose behavior we all know. So many guys who actually owned expensive watches have left the thread or gone anonymous and don't post images anymore.

Wore my explorer out for a nice dinner last night. Right away noticed another diner with a Pepsi and a few minutes later another guy with a gold YM on oyster flex. I felt utterly mogged. I think I may sell the explorer and buy a Tudor BB36 honestly.

>>17611766
>this is your brain on 4chan

>>17611764
This board does not have IDs so it's impossible to tell whether it was him responding or someone else with the intention of making him look bad.

Help me decide, /wt/.

>>17611772
I prefer the case of the Tudor but that dial on the Omega Turtle is really nice.

>>17611772
(Samefagging)
So the Omega has a better movement and is a bigger size (38mm vs 34mm). I slightly prefer the look of the Tudor though.
I really want a Datejust but can't spend £3500.

>>17611777
The omega looks better than the Tudor and imo more striking than an old DJ. You can definitely find a decent vintage DJ for well under £3500 though.

>>17611772
Constellation.
At the time they were made, the Constellation was the superior watch by a mile.

>>17611771
It's pretty easy to tell when it's him, actually. Between his ESL, his small number of reaction pics, and his Boomer posting style.

>>17611766
>Wore my explorer out for a nice dinner last night. Right away noticed another diner with a Pepsi and a few minutes later another guy with a gold YM on oyster flex. I felt utterly mogged. I think I may sell the explorer and buy a Tudor BB36 honestly.

Did you just feel ... mogged, or did someone actually make a comment?

>>17611779
What refs should I search for? The prices seem to have gone crazy in UK in the last couple of years.

>>17611764
Let's be honest, it's almost never a criticism on his watches, but directly on his persona.

>>17611379
Good afternoon, weather's great today.

>>17611790
>What refs should I search for?
Which DJ ref or Connie ref?

>>17611772
Right by a mile.

>>17611795
DJ. There are great conditions 16030s on Ebay but yea, £3500.

>>17611788
No, nobody made a comment. I just felt like a douche thinking that I’m hot shit when I have the value of a 10 year old Honda on my wrist. Rolexes are the ubiquitous rich guy watch and even though I’m decently well off I can’t compete with someone who’s got 30k+ to blow on a watch. I’m thinking I’d rather get an omega or Tudor and not even try to be a Rolex guy.

>>17611792
>Let's be honest, it's almost never a criticism on his watches, but directly on his persona.
True, he's obnoxious, no doubt (and he does actually have some nice watches) but something like >>17611379 is not meant to be mass appealing. Some people will love it, many more people will hate it.

He treats
>I don't like the placement of the date window
as
>fuck you, personally
and lashes out like a tranny whose wig just got pulled off.

>>17611798
>No, nobody made a comment. I just felt like a douche thinking that I’m hot shit when I have the value of a 10 year old Honda on my wrist.

Ask yourself if you actually love the watch itself or what the watch represents. It's accurate, comfortable, and versatile right?
Yes, you've been hit with the realization that there's always someone richer than you but does that mean you want to disengage entirely? Because if that's the case, don't even bother with the Tudor, because then you'll be upset that you got rid of a good watch for a slightly shittier watch. Just stop wearing a watch altogether and use your phone, or get an Apple watch.

What I would recommend is that you keep the Rolex, but stop thinking about watches ever again. That's what most Rolex owners do. They don't have collections, they don't give a fuck about watches. They wanted a nice watch, so they bought one.

>>17611803
Good advice here. If you like a watch you'll wear it regardless of what others wear. Remember, it's only a competition if you make it one, and your Explorer is still a fine watch that many would be happy to have.

>>17611797
16000, 16014, the 16013 like you mentioned. 16014 if you want two tone.
You might be able to find some 16200 or 16220 in your range.

You might be able to find a Thunderbird/Turn-o-graph 16264 in your price range. Those are rarer but less popular.

>>17611772

Was this a good deal for $200? It's some made in Japan Arabic 007. I like it and bought it off a guy in the street. My wife and I haven't had sex in 5 years so you gotta enjoy the little things ya know?

>>17611766
>>17611798
kek you idiot
You don't get an Explorer to mogg other people. It's the most low-key watch Rolex makes, even an OP is more flashy.
The whole point of the Explorer range (I also include the Explorer II) is to look and feel sturdy and reliable. They're the last remnant of Rolex' past as a tool watch company. Literally the opposite of a gold Yacht-Master.

>>17611772
The Omega looks much better.

>>17611820
I would not have, but I don't like Seikos.I don't speak Arabic either.

>>17611820
It's an SKX, they go for higher so you did well.

>>17611489
Looks retarded like you.

>>17611821
>If I pose my piece of jewelry with something masculine like...uh, a knife, no! two knives! then no one will notice it's just a piece of jewelry.

>>17611921
what is even this reply
it's just a pretty picture, anon

>>17611921
Exactly. Explorerfags are the worst sufferers of the delusion that Rolexes are tool watches, or have been tool watches at any point in the last thirty years.
Even Sub wearers admit they don't dive.

>>17611829
It does English days as well but I leave it set to Arabic because I want to appear more exotic during interviews if you know what I mean. I don't know if I necessarily like Seikos either but my budget was $1,000 and this one spoke to me. I have $800 left over what's another used watch to pick up in that range? I need something dressy.

>>17611935
>some anon complains that his Explorer isn't flashy enough
>other anon explains that it's done on purpose by Rolex
>"REEEEEE STOP LARPING AS A MOUNTAINEER"
???

>>17611948
Seems like three different anons got three different impressions from Rolex's marketing campaign.

>>17611947
If it spoke to you then it was a good purchase. For your dress watch maybe get something from the Swatch group.

>>17611955
>For your dress watch maybe get something from the Swatch group.
Hi Nick Hayek

this is laughable guys
just buy fakes for a few hundred dollars. nobody cares.

>>17611967
the guys who paid full price for the real thing definitely care, anon.

>>17611821
I dunno man, if I wanted an understated, versatile tool watch I’d unironically get an Islander or something. Everybody with a Rolex wants to flex a little bit. Wearing my explorer I was thinking “I’m supposed to be flexing on the poors, not getting flexed on!” which I guess sounds pathetic or insecure but honestly we only get into watches cause we’re a little insecure.

>>17611967
picrel (you)

>>17611766
Don't you think they might have seen your simple elegant explorer and thought "shit, I'm way overdressed for the occasion?"

Sometimes my girlfriend way overhypes how nice a restaurant or other function is and insists we have to dress up to get in, so we put on our nicest bling and get out a nice suit and dress only to inevitably be seated next to a 3 times divorced menopausal woman wearing an ugly black and white sweater that makes her look like a dairy cow and a lesbian couple wearing polo shirts and jeans. It drives me crazy that we could have taken it easy and been comfortable too but now we look like show offs and have to drop shit off at the dry cleaner.

>>17612008
>Don't you think they might have seen your simple elegant explorer and thought "shit, I'm way overdressed for the occasion?"
Zero percent chance of that.

>>17611991
You're the exact type of person who buys watches for all of the wrong reasons and you deserve these feelings you've created for yourself.

>>17612011
Beat me to it.

The number of people out there who actually care about and notice watches is minuscule. No one cares. If you notice someone wearing a Rolex and try to talk to them about watches, you'll discover that's their only watch. They're not collectors, they just wanted "a nice watch".
Hell, they'll probably be a bit puzzled at the idea that someone could be into watches at all.

hey bros tell me again what is /our/ watch

>>17612017
Something Islander.

>>17612015
I find that to be a bit hard to believe. Surely you have to be at least minimally interested in watches to bother with shopping around in an AD or two, committing to spend $20k on a watch, and wait as long as 1-5 years to pick it up?

>>17612026
>I find that to be a bit hard to believe. Surely you have to be at least minimally interested in watches to bother with shopping around in an AD or two, committing to spend $20k on a watch, and wait as long as 1-5 years to pick it up?

Yes, if you immerse yourself in /wt/ and wait lists and all that, you can't imagine that anyone else would buy an expensive watch without doing the research.

Remember also that plenty of buyers bought their Rolexes before the prices exploded and the shortages were a thing. Five or six years ago, you could still walk into an AD and leave with pretty much any model you wanted except for the Daytona. Ten years ago, you could still get discounts.

I'm not fucking with you or anything. People go through the following thought process:
>I'm successful in life
>I should get a nice watch (meaning Rolex), I've always wanted one
>The jeweler downtown sells Rolexes, I'll check them out this weekend.

Stop buying 3861 Speedys you fukken turds

>it's literally a homage watch to the real Speedy (1861 and earlier)

Imagine in 20 years you'll be the laughing stock with the co-axial (WTF) Speedmaster that is so far away from the real Moonwatch that Omega had to legally change the caseback writing from
>flight-qualified by NASA
to
>flight-qualified by NASA in 1965

DONT FUCKING BUY THE NEW SPEEDY

t. bought the 1861 recently for that reason

>>17612036
A lot of normies I’ve talked to think a Rolex costs like 1 or 2k and that THAT is a ridiculously expensive watch. Meanwhile they see no issue blowing that on a Canada Goose.

I noticed Seiko divers almost look ugly on their own, but when it's actually worn on the wrist it actually looks fantastic.

>>17612207
Yeah. Similarly, a crown at 4 o'clock looks weird to me. But is it more ergonomic?

>>17612162
50 years ago maybe. All watches above 3k are out of reach to the middle class of today.

In terms of appearance, or what?

>>17610805
>watches that no one wants is available to buy
I honestly do not think that anyone who doesn't understand supply and demand should be buying an expensive watch.

>>17612219
I find it feels nicer because it doesn't bump in your hand. It's also more useful when setting/winding the watch while on the wrist.

Rolex has produced millions of watches for decades. You can easily find some old models in top notch condition that have been stored in a safe. They're expensive though.

>>17611759

(No, obviously, you aren't.)

>>17610806
I can't imagine having a dad wealthy enough to own an expensive watch. I am wealthier than my dad.

If I'm not an Asian businessman, should I even consider a Nautilus?

Are the jannies asleep?

>>17612339
My dad gifted me his '68 Seamaster when I graduated high school. He gave me his 1981 Day-Date when he retired.
When I told him how much I sold them for, he was happy.

Reminder of the guy on WUS that got a damasko with the fancy bracelet and it had fucking rust on it and they REFUSED to do shit about it.
I wouldn't touch damasko with a 10ft pole and would go Sinn every time.
Also, who's going to fix their special snowflaek inhouse movements when they inevitably go under in the next decade? That would be the worst possible damasko buy imo

>>17612156
if anything he needs to gain more weight otherwise that explorer 2 will look even more oversized than it currently does.
i cant believe rolex cucked that watch so hard by making it so big.

How on earth are you planning to afford it

Hey guys what's the cheapest chronograph with lumed chronograph hands?

>>17612436
I haven't been to WUS in years now but I just had a look for the thread.
At least 4 years ago the problem hadn't been resolved. Perhaps it has now or the thread's been deleted which wouldn't surprise.
It had many pages from what I remember, at least 10. This was on their official forum on WUS so perhaps they had it deleted because it made them look particularly bad.
Simply search "damasko" and "rust" or look up their poor customer service record. Their absolutely shit customer service record. You'll get the same general story:
>guy finds rust on his magic metal watch/bracelet
>damasko refuses to do shit/ doesn't recognize the problem
>Forum backlash > they accept the watch
>Do "something" and return it.
>Problem is still there.
>Rinse and repeat.

In the instance I recall, and now that I search "damasko rust" I see there's far too much of that shit for comfort, the vice-admin of WUS himself who's a pompous germanwatch faggot and jumped up janny on a powertrip if there ever was one, was on personal speaking terms with Konrad Damasko himself and had toured the factory multiple times. He tried to intervene on the customer's behalf and the matter still wasn't resolved. This is a family company run by a particularly arrogant german, and that's saying something, who employs unqualified family members to run their CS which is thus severely lacking. Besides their QC issues the fact that they stubbornly refuse to upgrade their lume from shitty c1 to BGW9 because they "don't see the issue", or are just cheap, annoys me.

Damasko? Nein danke.

>>17612504
just get a fake

>>17612400
The in-house movement is certainly an issue. If Sinn goes under there shouldn't be any issues getting the basic bitch ETA and Sellita movements serviced elsewhere.

>>17612504
bro your didun design?

>>17612539
It's worse since not only is it a parts issue it's also a materials issue since, IIRC, Damasko used some fancy materials for their escapement. I just don't see this small technical tool watch company surviving the Hard Times (TM).

>>17612557
That's it. StufflerMike chimed in to say he had personally spoken to Conrad Damasko and the poor sap got his watch back with rust still on the bracelet.

>>17609473
it’s great as a gym watch because it’s nice and light with a fairly large display. unless you’re doing some crazy stuff while working out, it should withstand banging it against weights, racks and such.

however it is by no means in the same league as a G-Shock, in fact, i wouldn’t trust the FLIX with any serious outdoor activity. certainly nothing like an actual Ironman competition.

omega's made in china
dunno about breitling and iwc and how much of their process is outsourced to china and sold "swiss made" like omega and swatch do
rolex doesn't have chinese made anything
IWC I would say no, but breitling's been through some hard times recently.
perfect time for them to outsource

>>17612648
These watches are 75%-100% made in China and 'finished' in Switzerland. No exceptions. They are also the ones being shilled the mouse on reddit and YT.

Uh, the 1861 is literally in space right this minute. And yeah it was qualified by NASA in their second and last watch testing because the government wanted a Bulova to hold the title. No watch passed all tests. Except the 1861.

>>17612773
>the 1861 is literally in space right this minute
There should be a list of watches that are currently in space. There isn't of course, but there should be, then we could actually measure our favorite watch brand's dicks and be done with it.

I'm looking for a good dual time watch and would like some recommendations please

I liked these

I'm just not sure if this is a good brand or not

>>17613167
Yeah, you can't go wrong with AVI-8, some of the best watches on the market

>>17613130
SubBrah here. I absolutely love when poor cunts like yourself have a cry in this manner. Go enjoy your shit cope watch and leave the nice watches to us please.

>>17610806
Congrats on the watch. I’d wear it for a while and see if I ding up the glass much getting used to the weight of it, then replace the glass

>>17613167
it's shit
if you don't want to go digital with some casio or whatnot, the next best thing you could call of some quality at least, would be something with the NH34 movement by Seiko, for example Seiko 5 GMT, but you can find chinkshitters with that movement for cheaper than Seiko with better features too(like sapphire crystal and better bracelet)

>>17613167
>I'm just not sure if this is a good brand or not
lol poor retard

>>17612780
There is exactly one (1) watch (with two movements) qualified by NASA for space missions regardless of how many are actually in space. That list is available. Here you go:

>Speedy 1861/861

>>17613187
Thanks i just wasn't sure about the brand.

Cool I'll look into those and I don't mind digital watches as long as they don't look weird like some casios do.

I don't know about their integrated sports watch, but the Bel Canto seems pretty neat. Really tempted to buy one...

I think we need two watch threads. Just not sure if it should be divided into luxury and shitters/reps or luxury/shitters and reps. Ideally any rep discussion would result in an FBI team raiding the repfag but sadly that's never going to happen.

I can't support Citizen out of principle for the pure retardation the company shows at every turn. Almost all of the watches they make are solar bullshit, the few autos they still make are expensive as fuck for off the shelf 3rd party movements, they have like a dozen totally unrelated watches they call "Promaster", and they suck Disney cock with Disney mall watch licensing.
