I bet when Tudor re-releases the North flag it'll be too thick again.

I like Rolex, I just dislike 95% of the people who buy them

>>17623468
Yeah I think it's important to clarify that I like the watches but can't stand the average Rolex punter or their scumbag dealers.

>>17623463
Of course it will be, it's Tudor. They're not allowed to make a good watch for fear of stealing thunder from Rolex, hence this watch having a fuckin volume knob on the dial.

>>17623443

>>17623473
What's wrong with the Black Bay 54? It's thin.

What do you think about this watch? How much is it worth?

Can you explain to me how Timex is better than A. Lange & Sohne?

>>17623500
timex has a few watches in their catalog that look cool. lange is creatively bankrupt new money pretending ti be old money bait for germoids who are too proud to wear a swiss watch because deep down they know that switzerland is just an all out better version of their country

>>17623457
Yes

>>17623494
It's cool, it's not their best looking vintage chrono, there are prettier ones (the 7a28). I'd say about 500$, maybe 700 or 800 tops.

>>17623502
This. All the other brands above Moser, Lange, etc have more iconic watches when the brands in there have like 1 at most that people know.

Ayy someone saved my jak lol

what's the best 36 to 38.5mm case dress watch with some personality?
budget €20k tops and I'm currently looking at the 36mm rose-gold DJ without numerals
it would mainly be worn with a suit whenever I need to impress potential clients who might or most likely might not know anything much about watches

>>17623586
what model?

>>17623590
Sarb033

>>17623587
I don't like two tones, but yea Rolex DJ 36mm is kino.

>>17623587
Datejust is a fine watch, however it's not a dresswatch. Aside from that I have no better idea than the classic DJ36 with a funky dial like the palm motiv you posted.
Maybe a double stamped dial like the Dominos Air King would be a nice twist on the classic Rolex side?
Have you considered the recently retired Oyster Perpetual 39 mm line? They made a number of nice sunburst dials with unusual base colors like dark blue or purple that are totally different from the current Stella dial OP36s. Iirc they come with a case width of exactly 38.5 mm.

>>17623587
Realistically, a Rolex is probably the best thing to simply just impress non-watch nerds, but some potential alternatives:

>Breguet Classique
Everybody that knows about watches will be impressed, and even if somebody has no clue, I think the dial is interesting enough to captivate people.

>JLC Reverso
The swivel case is always a cool party trick, and the "watchmaker's watchmaker" will land with enthusiasts as well.

>Cartier Santos, or Tank Louis Cartier
Cartier is also a brand commonly known among the broader population, especially among women.

You could also get a more typical, minimalist dress watch, probably from the secondary market though since most retail from just above 20k, from Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, etc.
It's the sort of watch though that will be inoffensive but nobody that is not way too deep into watch will give it a second look, I think.

>>17623578
Ugly, yet somehow very effay. Does that count as a Pearlmaster already?

>>17623509
If I could buy it for 250€, supposedly working, how easy would it be to sell it?

>>17623672
Not that easy, you'd probably sit on it for a year or two. Vintage Seikos are not investment watches, you can't expect to make a quick buck with them.

>>17623615
>air king
the OP case and oyster bracelet combo is too clean for my taste, the main reason I like the DJ a lot more is that it can come with the fluted bezel and/or the jubilee bracelet as well
I'm a content creation professional, not a concrete salesman
>OP39
I haven't had the chance to try it out but I fear it will be too big as the few Rolex I've tried all looked bigger than their advertised case size
>>17623617
>Breguet Classique
I'm a bit hesitant to buy a used watch that costs more than a new aforementioned DJ, though some of these undeniably look interesting, I'll look into them
>JLC Reverso
>Cartier Santos
>Cartier Tank
I fear I don't have enough personality for rectangular watches
>Patek
>VC
same as with the Classique but with a less interesting look

I'm enormously grateful for the suggestions, though replying to these posts I realized I probably just want a DJ

>>17623682
I mean I like the watch. A tenth of a second subdial is pretty cool. Plus the 7a38 was one of the first quartz chronographs I believe. I just don't have that much money, so I would like it to be a decent investment.

>>17623688
You shouldn't be looking at watches as an investment, not at your status. Invest in the watch and then enjoy your investment by wearing it. If you like it then that's about it, don't think of selling it, think of keeping it.

>>17623587

>>17623684
>I'm enormously grateful for the suggestions, though replying to these posts I realized I probably just want a DJ

You can't go wrong with the DJ. Two-tone with rose gold is also a pretty interesting look. Usually two-tone is with yellow gold.
I disagree with the anons who insist that a DJ is not a dress watch. You can very easily wear one with a suit. It's not some giant dive watch, after all.

>>17623699
I agree with you. It's just that I found it for what I think is pretty cheap and I know I would be pretty sad if someone else bought it

any cheap decent quality fabric strap sellers on aliexpress?

>>17623452
Nice, how much?

Oh.

>>17623715
Set a budget, then take your time and look around, you can find plenty of nice vintage stuff, perhaps you stumble upon something that you really like for cheap.

Got this in the mail today. It actually doesn't look as bad in real life as it does in photos, but the crystal is definitely quite scratched. Unfortunately the shop I want to take it to for servicing is closed today, so I'll have to get over there tomorrow.

>>17623482
I like it as well, I tried it at an AD(put my name in for a Rolex Datejust SS in slate/green who knows when I will get the 'call') and it felt like my old Tag 2000, something not too big on my wrist except with Tudor quality. Overall I'll probably go back and get it once I get my first real watch.

Still if Tudor made a Pelagos 39 in GMT I would probably get that over this. I do love the simplicity of a no-date complication. but a Pelagos GMT would make me cream my pants.

>>17623891
What no AR does to a nigga

>>17623899
The crystal does have AR coating. Doesn't mean it can't reflect at all.

>>17623587
36mm Explorer I using the new 3230 movement. All of the heritage with a more durable(10 year recommended maintenance) movement with a 70 hour power reserve. The Batemen is also a favorite if you are looking into two town watches. Both of which even if you go GM is below your budget. Another thing that is below your budget if you're willing to try and AD is the new GMT Two Tone, expect to be fucked by the GM.

Red pill me on 14k Rolex watches like vintage Datejusts. Do they hold their value if they're in good condition or should I just get one in 18k?

>>17623970
Tudor Pelagos 39.

>>17623970
Prx quartz

>>17623975
Datejust and Oyster Perpetual value fluctuates the most out of the entire line up. I think the ones that held the most value are either the GMT and Subs. Don't bother with a Daytona unless you get it from an AD, the 2nd hand price on them is ridiculous right now. Another option which you can buy for cheap(sub5k) is the Explorer I either in the original 36mm or even the 40mm(baby T-Rex hand version).

>>17623977
I've seen a few PRX autos on Ebay for less than 500. One of the neat thing about the PRX and Tissot in general is there are no ultra obvious fakes. Trying to make a fake Tissot with a Powermatic 80 ends up costing more than the real deal.

I'm on the fence of selling my 1861 Speedmaster. I never really wear it anymore, but I hate the feeling that I'll end up regretting getting rid of it. I have other watches mind you but still.

>>17623982
There are some fakes, although like you said they're not super obvious. You would have to get pretty close to tell most fakes apart these days anyway. I recommended the quartz because it's thinner and you said you had a thin wrist, but it is smaller than your requested size. Just keep your options open, try then on if you can

>>17623460
>36 millimeters best
For me it depends on the watch. No one fixated on 36mm ever seems to mention / take into account lug to lug measurement or other things that alter the visual perception of the watch, such as chapter rings / bezels, etc.

I like the Seiko. Looks good.

a /fa approved watch?

Guys, what is a good first automatic sports watch for around less than 1k? Things I want:

-power reserve similar to a Rolex so around 70 hours
-sapphire crystal
-metal bracelet
-beautifully finished so not Timex finished

I am thinking something like pic related. I'm thinking the Seiko SKX GMT with the blue dial, but I honestly don't want another Seiko let another an SKX. Not only that but I would like more power reserve. Another one I am looking at is the PRX in that new light blue dial.

Can you guys recommend something better?

>>17624186
Just get a "second" watch and skip this dumb step?

>>17624186
By the time you would need a new battery on a Quartz watch the Automatic watch would be broken and dead. Getting an Automatic watch is dumb, for example a Rolex is only good for 5 years then its broken and worth nothing UNLESS you send it to Rolex and allow them to rape you financially.

Rolex has been raising their price at an insane rate these past few years. The Submariner will be 10k by the end of the year and 12k in the next couple of years. In 5 years you'll hate yourself for not buying at 12k when you had the chance.

lange has pros and cons
a major pro regards servicing: other richemont brands suffer from servicing que clogging as they all use the same richemont service center
lange is german and goes back to the one german factory so there's no wait and the qc is high
additionally since their output is waaaaaay less watches per year than say patek - iirc a couple of years ago it was something like 10-15k watches per year vs patek's 60k+++ per year - means that even the basic lange is very highly finished whereas patek has become incredible sloppy and rests on their laurels
partially because they increased output without the watchmaker manpower to back it up and servicing is done by trainees who suck

there are also many cons, but they are the intangible kind whereas their pros are more material
but people do not spend 10's of thousands on deprecated tech purely for tangible, logical reasons:
1) lange doesn't make it's own cases, dials, hands or anything else
but it does make the movements.
2) "lange" is a company created in the 90's by the head of iwc for richemont, it is NOT the same company that made pocketwatches for the kaiser or hitler for that matter
that company disappeared during ww2
however lange charges patek/vc/ap prices
aka heritage ancient brand levels
the mystique that the latter have purely by existing for a long time making neat stuff doesn't apply to "lange" at all, but they want people to pay the price as if it does

like i said, intangible
but in regards to watches these intangibles matter to buyers
>muh legacy
>muh heritage
>muh in housey-house
etc.

depends on what you prioritize

A. Lange & Söhne is the most amazing and based brand ever.
Only surpassed by truly highest-end independents.

It's good, I swapped mine out for a fabric 'sail cloth' strap and it's mint. 46mm lug so it'll work well with wristlets still. Make sure you get it on a sale though. Jewellers in my country often have Seikos on a sale.

I see what you mean, i like when they try and keep the lines flowing without cutting into anything, but imo it's too small.

I'm 34 and I've never owned a nice watch in my life. Never even had a Casio. Just had whatever shit digital watch they had at walmart as a kid. In the Army I got a Casio W89HB. By the time I got out cell phones replaced watches, so I never really got into them. For my new job a few years ago I got a F91W. But recently I've just gotten into watches and wanted to buy my first nice watch, a Bulova Hack (pic related is stock photo). How did I do? I know I want a diver watch, dress watch, and maybe a few others, but haven't gotten that far yet.

>>17624500
Looks good m8, grats on the Watch 'tism, it never stops now

>>17624500
How is this a nice watch? It's a glorified budget model.

You don't need a dozen watches. You need a diver. That's it. If you are frequently attending black tie dinners, you get a dress watch too. These smallish half-sporty models are junk, because they offer none of the utility of a diver, and all the style of a child's watch because only 5 year olds need numbers so they can remember 24 hour time.

>>17624504
thank you

>>17624508
>How is this a nice watch?
sorry, I should have worded it different, what I should have said was a watch I spent more than $100 on. Every watch I've bought before has been $20 or under. So to me it's nicer than a beach watch I got at walmart. I go my 24hr time anyway, so not hard for me to remember, but I liked the red contrasting the the black and white, and wanted something similar to a WWII field watch. This is just a daily wearer for me, don't plan on taking it swimming or putting it to any hard use. For any hard use I would just use my F91W, but plan on getting a Casio DW5600 soon.

if men didn't wear wrist watches before ww1
and if bikers and construction workers don't wear automatics
how did they wear them during combat or shooting rifles ?

>>17624515
>how did they wear them during combat or shooting rifles ?
By strapping the watches to their wrists, and shooting their rifles.

>>17624515
Your average army man didn't actually do a lot of shooting. Most of your time was spent sitting around shitting yourself about getting shelled and playing chicken with the enemy.

>>17624508
>These smallish half-sporty models are junk, because they offer none of the utility of a diver
I used to think like this until I got myself a nice, comfy sport watch. A three hander with a date and a fixed bezel with 100m of water resistance is much more slick and stylish than a tuna can with a tacky bezel

>>17624532
This is because you bought a retarded diver, though. Mine is smaller than a lot of modern dress watches.

>>17624533

>>17624540

Do we like FCs

>>17624208
Selling them freely available stock you choose not to sell to plebs is not a cash gift

>>17624548
It's a full custom build. About the only Seiko part in there is the NH36.

>>17624550
Eh, I agree with you. I want a custom bezel, but they're hard to find in the SKX013 size. Might have to draw one up and get them etched on aluminium business cards or something, then cut them out myself. It's hard to find reasonably priced services for small order jobs, I might just go back to the older black ceramic one.

MEDIUM OR LARGE?????!!!?!!?!

QUICK, I NEED AN ANSWER!!!!

>>17624619
The DINOZONE!

>>17624641
Medium, large is too large.

Good morning, my friends. How are you this fine tuesday?

>>17624645
In all honesty it mostly depends on how big your wrist is. Do you think larger watches fit you better, or smaller?

>>17624645
Dinocool

We can't always fight digital watches. We can't fight BPM measurement. We can't fight sleep quality assessments. We can't fight nothing. My whole life, all I ever did was justify mechanical watches. But I can't give up coping. I can't fight my own nature. That's the paradox. You see?
Mechanical watch makers will just create another illogical psyop to justify their expensive inferior tech.
They have to, because they have to justify their wages. Our time is passed.

>>17624641
Medium is premium

Why is 36mm so right bros... Truly the magical number of the ages...

>>17624656
>>17624647

I was just worrying medium would look a bit too feminine.

>>17624660
Nah, only nigs would think that.

>>17624577
I have had this experience too. I think Rolex choose who they want to wear their watches. It is no wonder that many on this board and reddit are told about waiting lists.

Is there a more pathetic brand than Omega?
Their pathetic attempt at making a Worldtimer is laughable.

>>17624660
Congrats, you're a man, not a wristlet or a tranny. Buy the large one.

>>17624671
omega are poofter watch

>>17624660
Large is nigger tier.

Reminder that the only acceptable Omegas are vintage Omegas. Nobody cares about your nu-Swatch shitters or your post-Swatch buyout Soimasters.

>>17624676

Top 3 Reddit watches?

>>17624641
Get the one with a lug to lug distance that covers 70 to 90% of your flat wrist width.
Keep in mind it's a Cartier though, they're supposed to be dainty and elegant on your wrist.

tl;dr: get the Medium if you're healthy, get the large if you're a lard ass.

Anything post 1983 Omega is dogshit.
Even their 1970s vintage Genèves that had sub par movements to their 1960s counterparts all had more soul than the Swatch-shitters they shat out post buyout.

Since you don't get it,
If we don't disincentivize resale by requiring them to buy other product (Not Rolex), they will flip it EVERY SINGLE TIME.
If we so much as sell mens datejust worth a few hundred dollars more online it ends up on facebook marketplace. Don't you get it? If we put everything in the case you would NEVER GET ANYTHING. Flippers would have all the product if we just used a sequential list. We can't even consistently put product out on saturdays because gypsies camp outside the store before open. They rush in and chrono24 our showcase. Trashy.
Rolex sends us nasty letters if we have too much of our product on facebook marketplace.

>>17624728

I wouldn't wear a fitness watch because I'm a grown man.

>>17624418

>cyclops crystal

No thanks.

>>17624738
>Then rolex needs to raise their prices
They're doing it. They're also increasing their production.

i only find myself caring only for vintage watches (pre 1980 mostly). Modern ones just don't really do it for me, I find the new clasps, even from Rolex, to be bulky and gaudy despite having superior quality and adjustability. Might be a cope, sure, but call it what you may, for me, it's vintage.

>>17624735
a grown ass insecure man

>>17624671
What about the VC worldtimer, that is actually comparable in price to the omega unlike the pp

>>17624719
I want one, but i don't know my need for one

I lift like 6 days a week too kek

>>17623456

>>17624753
Not a real Worldtimer.
Another brand besides PP that does real Worldtimer is Andersen Geneve.

bought this like 5 years ago from a local jewelery store for a funeral as i needed something quick since im not wearing a F91-W with a suit, just looked it up because i need a new battery and apparently ive been wearing a womans watch this whole fuckin time.... ok then thanks random jewler lady you pranked me. even though its a little gauche i dont mind it whats your thoughts fa?

>>17624208
>Motion to the line of men buying $20k in jewelry to get one
This, I don't get. If you are willing to drop an additional 20k to get a Rolex, you might as well just go directly to the grey market.

>>17624788
They're buying jewelry for their wives and/or sugarbabes.

>>17624784
sexy

>>17624784
didn't you GUESS it was a women's watch?

>>17623587
>€20k tops
If that's your budget I can tell you right now you don't have enough to be in the watch game. If your clients don't know anything about watches just spend 1k EUR on a super rep and say it was a gift if anyone asks about the origin.

cop or not?
it's cheap as shit and feels like it, though the band's real leather

Any Seiko from India.

>>17624807
no? it looks a little large to be a womans watch, it was in the mens section with the rolex's and other shite when i bought it so i didnt really think about it too hard

>>17624823
Same mate, always said Rolex could make a killing on a vintage inspired Sub.

>>17624819
I wouldn't wear that out of fear it might fall apart, it looks flimsy.

>>17624654
Apple need to get their battery life up, 1 day is not good enough. However it is by far the best alarm clock ever.

>>17624783
>Not a real Worldtimer
Why not? Honest question

>>17624841
Not him but I think the bezel doesn't rotate, which is a key feature in a world timer.

>>17624839
I'm not sure about that

>>17623615
How do you argue datejust isn't a dress watch? It's at least as showy and blingy as anything else, certainly if you get one with precious metal or stones.

Are the rolexes using the silicon springs really immune to magnetic fields to the point where faraday cage watches are obsolete?

>>17624712
It's okay, shame that it's a 007 branded watch, same goes for the 60th anniversary model, as it's a little more interesting and has a nice colourway than the standard SMP.

>>17624869
Where does it say it's a 007 watch?

>>17624892
Here and here.

On a real wordtimer, you
>place your reference city at 12 by pressing the button
>set your local time with the crown
You can then see the time in every time zone thanks on the hour ring. For example on pic related it's 10:10am in Tokyo (the city you're in), 10:10pm in NYC, 2:10am in Paris, etc. If you're going to another timezone, you just press the button until the reference city appears at 12 and you'll have the local time.
IMO it's one of the most beautiful and useful complication ever made.

On a fake worldtimer, you
>set your local time
And that's it. The hour ring will give you the time in every other time zones, but the watch doesn't know in which time zone you are. If you travel to another time zone, you need to set the time again. Meme function.

What watch is this supposed near minimum wage franchise tire service tech wearing?

>>17624948
Idk but I know that strap

>>17624948
This has to be a model, right? There's no way this dude does manual labor wearing that watch that way. Even putting aside how expensive it may or may not be, it's so big and loose it would be swinging around and slapping his hand and arm and hitting and dragging on shit all day.

>>17624955
In my experience the perfect watch for technician type work is
>between 36mm and 38mm to keep it light and out of the way
>leather or nylon strap tightened up above the wrist knuckle to keep the watch in place and prevent it from interfering with your wrist flexing
>Minimum 100m water resistance with a screw down crown to be sure to keep oil and chemicals and other bullshit out
>I would prefer sapphire crystal, but I think you could make an argument for acrylic to be a little more safe from shattering on impact if you don't tend to work with chemicals that could react with plastic

>30% about how much Swatch Group and Richemont suck
>20% about other watches I like
>every time I'll talk about another watch I'll end the video by saying "no but seriously, buy a 36mm Datejust instead"
>every video will contain toxic jokes about Adrian Barker, Nico Leonard and that obnoxious ugly faggot from Just One More Watch
>a lot of borderline antisemitism, racism, fatphobia and homophobia
Would you watch my videos?

Top 3 4chan watches?

>>17624967
>In my experience the perfect watch for technician type work is
No, the perfect watch is a cell phone on your toolbox because working on anything a watch inevitably just gets in the way of fitting your hand in tight places and gets scratched to fuck

>>17625033
tools are meant to get used. Wear a tool watch and let it get scratched

>>17624955
>This has to be a model, right?
It's a stock image from a marketing website, it's probably a paid model or some guy from corporate upper management posing for funsies

Do you frequently scrape the skin off of the top of your wrist while operating wrenches and screwdrivers?

>>17625024
Yes but you must also review reps.

>>17625036
i have yet to have any surface scratch the sapphire crystal on my watch. I even accidentally grazed it against a metal pole. no scuff on the crystal

>>17625024
Do you have the money and access to get that shit and show people you know what the fuck you're talking about, or are you going to review watches based on pictures like a certain time teller?

>>17625039
>Do you frequently scrape the skin off of the top of your wrist while operating wrenches and screwdrivers?
Back of the hand/knuckles usually, because I work on cars and engine bays and wheel wells suck. If you don't think a watch is super in the way you don't actually wrench.

>>17625026
1) Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface
2) Cartier Tank Française
3) F.P.Journe Chronomètre Bleu

Rate new watch San Martin SN0107 with their new quick adjust clasp. 99% of the time keeping of what its copying, at 4% the cost. Knock the changs, but they know how to copy.

Plus if youre not a retard you can just regulate it yourself to get 99.9 percent of the timekeeping ability.

Yes you got tricked into buying a ridiculously overpriced luxury watch and now you're desperately hoping to recoup 70% of what you paid. Doesn't mean you need to bump your shit every single day, not like there's a endless surplus of idiots willing to spend 7k on your stupid watch retard.

Just don't come back and whine about how your thread gets 5 posts a day and 4 of them are Rolexes.

After seeing so many people get ripped off by what they bring in, I'd either make a deal to get the watch or buy another brand.
I've seen several people bring watches they bought online in for service and rolex confiscates it because it's stolen.
