>24 000 CHF for a stainless steel watch with no complications
I don't get it.

Recently tried on a PAM683, should I get it? Here it is next to my sneedy

>>17620568
UMMM ACKSTSHUYLALLY IT'S A CZAPEK GENEVE

>>17620569
Both are too large for you.

>>17620569
I like it.

>>17620569
Yeah get it brah. U a king.

thinking of getting this as my first watch

also considering the tissot ballade aswell

just wondering if there are any other good value watches for a poorfag like me

maybe i should just save up and buy a rolex and be done with watches completely

>>17620610
If you're poor just wear a Casio until your parents leave you some property or business or whatever so you get a decent income?

>>17620610
Get the Tissot seethemaster

Hublot Unico.
Should I?

>>17620638
>Hublot Unico.
Hublot is the opposite of class T B H

>>17620638
Just save for a used offshore

>>17620638
>Unico
Good choice. But it's too big for you. Is that the 45 or 42?

>>17620645
Lose some weight, Nico.

>>17620647
Not gonna lie, I think the Hublot looks way better than the Offshore. The APROO's design is awful. Looks terrible and wears like shit.

>>17620568
Because you get a Polish name on the dial.

is it okay to like Tag Heuer?

>>17620661
Yes.

>>17620569
I was looking at it too, I have a Speedy too. It is the only Pam with good specs and line the brand has not gutted. I with I’m going to go with a standard Pam, the 683 is a lovely watch but for the money I would go with an Explorer or something. I’m going to pick up a Pam111 (older ref) and get the specs I want (300m, sandwich dial, display back, finished movement)

>>17620610
I bought a blue dial Tissot Gentleman about a year ago, still happy with my purchase. It's a great daily driver for an office worker.

>>17620569
>>17620666
Panerais look so basic and rough, never does the word 'luxury' or 'refinement' come to mind when i look at them.

>>17620671
I think that's the point, though.

gm sirs

>>17620694
gm sir that is a very based seiko

>>17620694
Good day to you too.

>>17620666
I also tried on the new 124270 and it didnt do anything for me. I like to interact with my watches in at least one way, be it with the chronograph pushers or a rotating bezel. Either way, im on the hunt for a dive watch next which is why I was looking at the PAM683. Also tried on a pelagos 39 and thought it was very attractive for the price.

If none of those, ill get a NOS 14060m 4-liner or as close to NOS as possible. For me, thats the perfect dive watch ever made.

>>17620733
>14060m 4-liner
That is what i imagine when i hear Rolex Submariner, not those bloated monstrosities that they make today. It's sleek, svelte, almost elegant.

>>17620694
Good morning, my friend. Nice watch, the strap is dope.

>>17620729
'up, my friend?

>>17620739
MORTADELLO RITARDELLO
MANGIATORE DI FAGIOLAAAAA!

>>17620737
Yup, also the way the aluminium bezel absorbs light and becomes blacker than black is so special. The ceramic bezels on the 114060 and 124060 are so antithetical to what the submariner is. Not to mention the way the nurling on the bezel teeth are so prominent and proud on the 14060m even compared to the 16610LN. Its fantastic in every regard.

>>17620737
Prefer a 2-liner personally, but I know what you mean.

>>17620739
The "Roth" in the zero is a cool touch. Nice watch.

If only the date wasn't set so deep.

This is what a high torque quartz movement looks like.

>>17620737
I have one with SELs. It's pretty much perfect yes (even though I wear my 124270 a lot more often).
To be honest I don't dislike the newest Subs, I just find it too large. In fact my perfect Sub would be
>same proportions as the 14060
>ceramic bezel
>new Oyster bracelet
Same with the GMT Master II. Keep all the innovations but bring back the old case dimensions.

>>17620773
The 'hands' weigh 1,7kg.

>>17620744
Fun fact, this is how I imagine you each time you write that. Makes me laugh. :)

>>17620758
Thanks, m8

>>17620773
>>17620778
VERY interesting. Can you please share more and wriste some more about it, m8?
Thanks

>>17620759
Yeah that’s pretty bad

>>17620787
*write

>>17620773
>>17620778
Well it's not actually a watch.

>>17620790
But i can tell you it's pretty accurate and precise. You can set it just so and it'll hold the speed.

>>17620794
OK great, go back to /mu/ now

>>17620790
Never crossed my mind a turntable would have a quartz regulator. Nice. Thanks, m8.

>>17620794
It's THE turntable for DJs, the industry standard, made from 1972 to 2010 and resumed again in 2016. Built like a tank, weights 12kgs, you can throw it out the window and it'll still work. Great piece of engineering.

>>17620694
GOOD MORNING SIRS

>>17620610
do you even want an automatic? a watch with an automatic movement can't be a value watch by definition
if you think an automatic movement is fancy (don't we all?) then by all means go ahead

>>17620756
It needs to say the N word around the edges and it’d be perfect

>>17620822
hello sir kindly identify the watch diameter is it 38 or 40mm please do the needful

>>17620832

Only part I disagree with here. I think it's stupid to hate watch makers like JLC or Breguet just because they are part of some conglomerate.

>>17620900
You need to go back

>>17620890
>Thoughts on grand seiko? All the spring drive models are xbox hueg.
Jeez. I just looked it up and while the diameter seems fine (around 40mm), I never realized how thick the GS watches are. 12-13mm is well within range of most dive watches.

FOR ME, ITS HOOOOBLUT!

jelly niggas?

Is 34mm too small?

>>17620923
call me when they have a hentai version of picrel

i bought a watch cleaning kit for $60 and it's just a spray bottle of soapy water with a soft brush oh no no no no noo

>>17620923
How do I get one. Please sirs.

>>17620926
Looks good on your wrist anon!

>>17620926
No. Its all relative.

>>17620926
Looks ok.

I love pic related in 34mm... but dunno if it would work for me.

>>17620953
>>17620955
>>17620958
OK, I'll buy it. I like it a lot and it's in incredible condition but I wanted to get a quick second opinion.
Everyone insisted that Rolexes wear large but I didn't know if they were fucking with me.

>>17620965
>Everyone insisted that Rolexes wear large but I didn't know if they were fucking with me.
That's nigger behavior. Maybe that ad is filled with niggers. Try another AD or don't buy rolex.

>>17620926
>>17620965
Rolex Oyster cases are semi-cushion shaped so the effect is that they visually look larger than their diameter suggests. (The same is true for square watches. The size Large Cartier Santos looks enormous despite "only" being 39mm)

Feel free to try on the 36mm and 40mm Rolexes and see if you like those sizes better, but the 34mm looks fine on your wrist and no one would ever say it looks too small.

If you do end up buying that, do yourself a favor and never buy another watch. You won't ever need one.

>>17620782
LMAO

>>17620983
>If you do end up buying that, do yourself a favor and never buy another watch. You won't ever need one.

Thanks. That's definitely the plan. I already have an G-Shock so I think I'm covered now. A Rolex looks a little more professional than a G-Shock.
Truthfully, I don't actually care about watches that much and this general fucking sucks, so I'm glad I don't have to spend any more time here.

>mfw more and more anons are buying Rolex
my constant shilling is working

>>17621041
...but have you bought one?

where do you guys buy extra spring bars from? The ones I recieved from holbens have a bit of play to them. They wont slip out but they wiggle a bit unlike the spring bars that originally came with the watch. Its for a hamilton and a baltic watch if that matters.

Just bought this for $375 from a pawnshop, what can I expect?

-quality feels around Tag or Longines
-IIRC 70 hour power supply
-sapphire crystal
-100m
-a lot of after market band options
-'influencers' seems to shill this watch a lot

Pictures in a few thread, its missing a lot of links but Tissot decided to send me some. Looks like a female wore it before me.

>>17620620
the fuck is up with the date display holy shit is that retarded

>>17621041
Submariner 14060 and Explorer 124270.
Next one will be a GMT Master II 16710, then a green OP and I'll be set for life.

>>17621059
>a woman wore a 40mm PRX
that must have looked dire, that watch is already too large for 50% of male wrists, she probably wasn't fat either if she removed a lot of links

Nice. Dhgate?

>>17621148
How does the size feel?
I've considered getting a Tank, but the Must XL is the only model that has a guilloché dial and doesn't use quarz up until the Tank Louis Cartier which costs more than twice as much.

>>17620926
I have a 6 inch babby wrist so I recently took the 34mm pill and I love it. It's a great size even if your wrist isn't as skinny because it gives a good vintage vibe. Just check in a mirror though, photographs can be deceiving.

>>17620926
It's alright, I personally think that 36mm is the most optimal size. 40/41 is just too tacky on anything other than a Sub/GMT.

>>17621107
I got that in gold color

https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/waltham-a-17-the-come-back-of-the-american-pilot-watch.5490566/

Watchu think?

>>17621338
Pic related, thread is shitting on it hard because it's 40mm and doesn't cost $10k.

>>17621279
size feels good but I have larger wrists, I know the Tank purists say its too big on most people but fuck em. but it's seriously amazing value for what you get and I wasn't going to be dropping that kind of cash (just less than $3k shipped) to size down to a quartz watch.

>>17620533

>>17621372
Of course not. It's a sports watch. I think the Santos is gorgeous.

>>17621372
I think its nice but I would prefer the white dial over the blue one.

>>17621394
Only if they are high luxury like AL&S, Moritz Grossman, Lang & Heyne, etc...
If not, they also garbage.

Hey anons, I think im finally cured of this hobby (disease).
No more anachronistic mechanical garbage thats more expensive while being more fragile and expensive to mantain.
I quitted this redditor hobby and bought a quartz Tag F1, used for 750€. Most ill spend is 5€ on battery changes and wont have to worry of being culturally enriched in urban areas.
I recommend you take the quartz tag pill anons.

That's exactly what it is.
There's a solar panel underneath the paper dial (it's not linen) then a thin sheet of plastic, then the indices are applied to that.

>>17621372
>>17621422
Fyi, Cartier is going to release the blue dial version in medium later this year.
And also a green dial version in both Large and Medium.

I would probably still prefer the white dial though.
The only thing I might consider is getting the Gold & Steel version. I normally don't particularly like two-tone bracelets but the screws being a different color seems like it could be interesting, but I don't know if in practice it would become too distracting or look trashy.

Uh oh, Who's that peeking?

HOT

>>17621933
Not

anyone recognize this watch?

>>17621933
I’m 99% sure that’s a fake.
I know this watch quite well and there are several things that look off (applied numbers, hour hand and pushers).

>>17621723
Keep the Sub (ideally, I'd replace it with a ref. 14060M, but some people like the Maxi case, I guess), replace the Explorer with a really good dress watch. (Calatrava, Saxonia, Patrimony, Tank Louis Cartier, etc)

>>17621980
Hour hand is too long and has the wrong polishing, pushers are the wrong shape, subdial spacing is wrong, numerals are too sharp, rehaut printing is too heavy...

It's not the worst fake, but yeah, it's as real as a three dollar bill.

>>17621718
Yes. Besides F.P. Journe making their movement's plate and cases in gold, there are some references in which the the dial and the hands are also made in solid gold.

>>17621797
This one won't, the bracelet is way better

>>17621930
nice longines

>>17622018
24k gold, though, not 18k. I don't think anyone makes a watch in 24k gold because it'd be too soft and easy to damage.

The first watch ever made with a 24k gold case (and as far as I know, the only so far) was actually a limited edition Bulova made in 2014. It's hideous.

>>17622077

>>17622118

A bit much for outdated and objectively inferior technology

except its really hard to justify 2k for a quartz movement, which is much cheaper to make.

if youre paying that much for a watch i would hope you at least get a good mechanical movement.

Has any of the epstein islanders been put in prison? Besides epistein himself that is.
Andrew was one of them. There's also been rumors circulating about the guy for years.
That's the thing, the actual heir to the throne has too many eyes on them and charles always had the hots for his used-goods hag waifu anyway, even when he was presented with fresh english rose.
The second son is almost always a fuckup. Basically always going back to the beginning of kings. You're the spare, until your older bro has a son, and then you can do what you want and that's what andrew did and nobody thought to control him.
Disgusting.
Look at harry - fucked up his entire life and now subsists on the periphery, a failure, but he had that freedom.

>paper
Yeah I know it's magikuru nipponese washidashimashi paper folded 1000x but it's still paper. What worries me about it is if even the slightest moisture were to get in there it'll spoil.
Yes you're in trouble in such an instance with any watch but a watch with a paper dial is doubly in trouble.

THANK YOU SIR>>17620842

>>17621831
GOOD EVENING SIR

>>17622497
There is a clear top plate on top of the paper, that and some slight moisture in the air wouldn't fuck it, since it's not like the inside of a watch is ever at 0% humidity anyway (except for maybe those sinns with the moisture capsules).

Love the lack of contrast between the moon and the dial wtf lmfao.

Yeah but with the independent hour hand you don't need any source to set it against

>>17620568
If the movement is finished to a high degree, then the labour cost alone contributes to some of the price. Exclusivity, branding, design, and relative scarcity probably make up the rest.

>>17620569
Both look great on you; Panerais tend to look better in 'standing in a mirror' shots rather than shots close on wrist. I enjoy Panerais, though the older ones were better. The problem is that it can be very difficult to determine authenticity with older ones. If you love this one, buy it.

>>17620610
If you desire a Rolex, then definitely save up. OPs are not going to be unobtainium for much longer, and in some areas the 'waiting list' is a week to a month. Tissot is generally good, but Longines would be better in that price range. Hell, even consider Frederique Constant.

>>17620638
Of course. If you love it and have the funds, why not?

>>17620666
The old 111 is excellent; just make sure it's authentic.

>>17620671
They are basic and rough, but in that era of 90s to 2000s, they were a different kind of 'luxury'. By today's standards, they're simple, but back then, the design was iconic. There are very few watch brands which can be easily and accurately identified from across the room. Panerai is one of them, Rolex (and Rolex fakes) is the other. That visual recognition is worth something from a design point of view.

>>17620739
Good weekend, LawyerAnon. Hope all is well.

>>17620759
It might not be noticeable when it's on wrist....you never know until you try it on.

>>17620822
Hello.

>>17620890
They're a legit brand, with best-in-price-category finishing of exteriors, dial, and hands. I think the spring drive is fun to look at, and their general quality level is great aside from the bracelets. I don't know how easy it is to have them serviced outside of Japan though. Also, their design language doesn't speak to me at all, so I find their watches ugly. Such is life.

>>17621147
Hi.

>>17622313
Mine wasn't cheap to make.

>>17622182
If you fucking drop your watch sure, if you're wearing it and your Sapphire breaks so does your arm probably. And your mineral crystal will get scratched to fuck if you drop it so it's a lose lose

>>17622599
Looks like they sprayed it with plastidip and then gray spray paint lmao

SKX is the only choice if you have self respect.

>>17622851
The only people I ever hear unironically saying this shit in real life are incels that have never been in a real fight in their lives.

>>17622897
First of all, /wt/ is a shit place for watch recommendations, so next time, I would ask somewhere else. In general, it is a good idea to tryout the watch in person before making the purchase.

The two cheap quartz watches I that immediately come to mind are the Citizen BM8180 and the Seiko SUR461. Both can be found for under $150. The Citizen BM8180 is smaller at 37mm, but it has a mineral crystal. The Seiko SUR461 has a superior sapphire crystal, but it is bigger at 40mm. Both are cheap enough where if you get mugged or lose the watch, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Both of the stock straps are terrible, so I recommend buying a separate strap ($50) along with the watches. However, if you are dead set on a mechanical, you can probably find a Seiko 5/Presage or Hamilton Khaki on discount for under $400. Beware of Seiko's horrible QC. It is better to inspect the watch in person and not deal with the hassle of returning it.

How is GMT master 2 anything less that the top tier? It's easily one of the more sought after popular watches.

>>17623085
It's not 36mm, therefore it's inferior.

Dive watches under 40mm are fucking abominations though. Also you didn't rate Explorer 2.

Zamn. Why not work for Rolex and still be unable to get a watch at msrp OR a discount

>>17623077
Where explorer 2?

>>17623077
Where's the oysterquartz day date in 36mm? Same as the regular?

Everything hinges on your response, good luck.

>>17623228
>oysterquartz day date in 36mm
Does such a thing exist?

>>17623228
It's been discontinued for a long time.

yummy

thoughts on the Casio Oceanus T200? i want it for my b-day, never owned a watch before

>>17623040
Yes, because carrying a loaded, cocked gun pointed at your crotch, with you being at the mercy of a drawstring/shirt, holster, and any potential QC/design problem, is a fundamentally good idea.

How much is this watch worth?

>>17623365
depending on condition anywhere from 100 to 300 bucks.

>>17623365
Not much, but it's GLORIOUS

>>17623247
Yes, great watch, go for it.

>>17623261
I cc a snub nose so I personally don't have that problem. Never felt safer.
