/fa/ - Fashion

For me, its the Babby G.

What is the go-to watch for someone who's just getting into it? I'm effay in every other way but I've never worn watches

>>17627691
Any Rolex.

What's your thoughts on HOMOS?

>>17627691
Rolex for boys, Cartier for girls.

>>17627698
Pros: makes Chuds very uncomfortable.
Cons: so-so designs.

>Customers want to know whether a Nazi worked on their watch
I wouldn't go as far as supporting nazi craftsmanship, but i guess that's a cool thing to know (they used to build good rockets and tanks).

>>17627708
Why do you save pics of other people's collections?

>>17627704
So what's the confirmed chud watch then?

>>17627712
How do I request a nazi to qc my nomos? Is there a form on the site? Or is that just sinn

I think I'll pull the trigger on this in a month or two. The salesman put it on the table and I fell in love with it. This one has the in-house 400 movement.

>>17627721
Most of them are in Argentina these days, check the factory

>>17627723
You are getting marketed to hard

>>17627678
why is it so fucking xbox huge? it looks like a shinola in the thumbnail, absolutely disgusting

>>17627728
Patek has the weirdest and most inconsistent design language. They have an infinity of case shapes, dial textures, hands, pushers, crowns, fonts... Such a weird brand.

>>17627728
That one is 42mm but they also make one in 37.5mm (7234G-001)

>>17627734
>inconsistent design language
This is /wt/ speak for "I want every watch from a company to look the exact same except for the complication."

>>17627734
>They have an infinity of case shapes, dial textures, hands, pushers, crowns, fonts
The only 100+ year old company that doesn't do this is Rolex. Cartier, JLC, VC, AP, Omega, etc. have all made millions of different oddball designs.

The reason for this is that those companies started as watchmakers and Rolex started as a marketing company.

Take your basic model and give it a luminous dial. Call it an Explorer and market it for mountaineers. Give it a rotating bezel, call it the Submariner, and market it to divers. Give it an extra 24 hour hand and a different bezel, call it the GMT-Master and market it to pilots. Remove the rotating bezel, call it the Explorer II and market it to spelunkers, etc.

Never have a part that can't be used in multiple watches. The watch can be given a new name and the customer will simply believe that it's a new model.

>>17627698
the Club Sport on the bracelet is fierce nice, and so is the Weiss Orion. I like Nomos a lot (except the Tangente and the Tetra, those are dogs)

Nomos is my chicks favourite brand also

>>17627750
Well that's the smart thing to do.
Thanks to this, Rolexes are iconic and instantly recognizable. They're also super reliable and can be serviced easily since they're all using the same base movement and parts.

>>17627762
>Well that's the smart thing to do.
Yes, it is. No doubt. Rolex's industrialization of the industry is their single greatest achievement. Before them, the watch industry was a bunch of products being made by hand by small teams, even individuals, all trying to make something unique for their customers.
Rolex took the opposite approach and relied on marketing to simply TELL the customer that their product is the best. That was all new shit.
Now, everything is made assembly-line style. Much better QC. Like, you said, more availability of parts. Greater ease of service.

As for being "instantly recognizable". Well, that's for basketball-Americans looking to flex so that part isn't interesting to me.

>>17627698
Looong lugs.

>>17627726

How so? I've been looking around online and most people seem quite positive and the price/quality rate is competitive.

>>17627694
And if I don't want to spend one year's earnings on a first watch?

>>17627828
There are only 2 brands that aren't pure cringe.
Rolex and Casio.
Get a Casio if you can't afford a Rolex.

>>17627713
Why wouldn't I? I love watches and I share my passion here. I really don't care a about price or recognition, just love wristwatches for themselves and enjoy looking at other's collections too.

>>17627742

There's plenty of watches I like but honestly not enough to buy or wear on any regular basis. It's the same as browsing a book store instead of buying.

thanks. another question. at that price point, is there any reason to get automatic over quartz? mechanical movements found in those probably wont be very accurate and reliable?

>>17627698
They look great on photos, but irl feels like a happy meal toy

>>17627884
It depends, cheap automatic movements can be quite accurate. I have two watches with miyota 90x5 movements that are no more than a few seconds off per day (which can be compensated for with how you position it overnight).

>>17627884
>is there any reason to get automatic over quartz?
no unless you want one

>>17627852
we should all strive to be more like this guy

>>17627884
>at that price point, is there any reason to get automatic over quartz?
Not really. Unless you really, really want an automatic. Swapping batteries is easy and you can do it yourself. An automatic will be reasonably accurate, just check it against a reference time like your phone or PC once every few weeks and adjust it.

But you're not going to be getting the hand-finished artistry at that price point. Your automatic movement will have been made entirely by machine.

Why don't you own a Rolex yet?

Hello I love watches

Lost my dad when I was a kid and he left me behind these two watches:
Maurice Lacroix 92124: I absolutely love this one. Its thin and elegant the gold coating is not too flashy

>>17627931
Hope you find him one day to say thank you.

Second one Seiko 341764: Again elegant and it has some scratches one which I love. I especially like the thin grey lines on the background.
However as these two are heirlooms and I was afraid of losing them I decided to get something inexpensive and I wont cry about if I lose. So..

>>17627901
I wonder when the beanie babies crash is coming for rolex. It's about time the fad ended and people stop paying ludicrous prices that watches obviously aren't worth.

>>17627901
Because they dont make a tank

>>17627877
>>17627878
>>17627901
>>17627936
kill yourselves

>>17627936
Topkek, he passed is what I am saying

At any case. I dont know shit about watches and made no prior research. Only thing I knew were the standart Wuartz and swiss made stuff. I also had an inkling that there are real watch makers and fashion watches.

So I went shopping from store to store and ended up really liking this fashion watch. By buddy who is really in to watches told me I could have gotten something better with real resale value, but I figure I can just push this watch to some immigrant or something.

At any case. How terrible do you find these fashion watches just from a design perspective?

I know fossil makes the EA watches so they are not good. But in this price range I really found this one to be most appealing.

I just love the grey matte steel combination with blue.

In a few months I will get a second Maurice Lacroix second hand that I will wear in comfort without the fear of losing it.

>>17627852
then post your own collection or stfu

>>17627852
very nice here's one of my favorites from these threads

>>17627901
I have one, I don't know why, but Rolex has destroyed some of their classics. Anyway, if I look at their current watches, I think only their 36mm watches look like authentic Rolexes.

>>17627924
Cool. Is that birch black or green?

>>17627878
you gave 8 choices. I shot down 3 of them. 5 out of 8 not good enough for you? you need validation on every single letter of your post or you'll sperg out?

>>17627901
Their newer 32xx movement has problems. It has something to do with the Chronergy escapement. I wished they just stuck with the 31xx since there was nothing wrong with it.

Thoughts on the San Martin SN021?
I'd like to get one in green but I don't know if there's anything similar for under £250

>>17627978
I'm wouldn't be so quick to say it's the Chronergy escapement (I doubt that's the case, anyway, since it's not a new escapement, it's just a name for an extremely slight tweak to the Swiss Lever escapement) but the 32XX series is definitely having some teething issues.
They tend to run at low amplitudes and get progressively slower. This seems to happen after about 10-12 months of constant use.

Watches come back from service and have to go back again within a few months, suggesting Rolex itself isn't sure what the problem is.

I've heard some suggestions that the recent production shortage had nothing to do with the pandemic, but more spending time trying to iron out the 32XX's problems.

>>17627971
Give it back, Tyrone

>>17627957
He's talking about the idiots who buy Rolexes as "investments" and as a result, inflate the prices of steel watches. Oyster Perpetuals were once fairly affordable and relatively easy to come by.

>>17627946
Anon, I don't think /wt/ is the right place to post about getting enjoyment from watches. This place is filled with insecure dipshits who derail threads with asinine shit and only view watches as status symbols and nothing else.

>>17627992
Patek Philippe abandoned this escapement after experimenting with it years ago, which speaks volumes of how bad of an idea this is. Also, I heard from a watchmaker that the 32xx movements are more difficult to service. Something to do with the barrel or balance wheel? It seems like Rolex doesn't like the idea of independent watchmakers being able to service their watches.

>>17627691
Hamilton

>>17627962
I'm sorry your parents don't love you

>>17627997
The 32XX are not appreciably harder to service than the 31XX. (Though more parts are designed to be replaced than serviced.) Their fundamental design is unchanged, but there is definitely something wrong with it.
It could be a lubrication issue, but I've read several watchmakers pointing out excess wear in areas where normally no lubrication is needed.

Something is definitely wrong with it and Rolex is being frustratingly cagey about it.

>>17627869
>There's plenty of watches I like but honestly not enough to buy or wear on any regular basis.
True. It happens to me that sometimes an especific watch has a detail I really find alluring, but the rest of the watch is rather meh. (Like GS texture dials) I like to see them, but I wouldn't buy one.

>>17627924
Very interesting collection. PRX for days. Saved pic too.
I'd love to know the history of why you decided to buy a Code 1159.

>>17627937
>>17627924
>>17627946
I'm really sorry for your loss. Keep treasuring those herlooms, tho. Besides being beautiful, they have the kind of attibute money can buy. The EA is not a watch I'd recomend in any case, but makes the job and you already bought it. Plus, it has a nice shade of blue and the chrono is legible. Wear it, enjoy it and don't worry too much about it. Maybe next time you might appreciate to take a look into Casio, Citizen and Seiko catalogs for a better option.

>>17627949
Very nice indeed. The flowery strap is an option I'd find very fun to wear.

>>17627947
>post your own collection
Fine, here it is.
I recently took a new picture of the (almost) entire collection (because I still forgot two.) Anyway, it's not as pretty like the former one, but watches are more identifiable.

>>17627995

Not entirely true. There are some of us here who simply enjoy watches and like to share the enjoyment.

I understand what you mean. It's not entirely accurate, bu neither totally false.
I do have friends and family, and I love them and share my time with them, but i'm not entirely satisfied with my life, that's why I've become an art photographer too in my recet years.
I consoooom because I earn a fairly amount of money and thankfully have a lot of expendable income to burn. I give a lot to charity, but I also collect rare books, ivory carvings (netsukes), art, disks and vinyls, luxury pens, cufflinks, some antiques...

>>17628134
You sound so happy, I’d be surprised of AP or any high end brand suited you kiddo. Maybe when you’re more mature, grateful, and less edgy.

For the rest of us who own brands in differing price points, Tudor’s just fine - and isn’t an homage brand, as it’s owned by Hans Wilsdorf.

>>17627688

>>17628130
>I give a lot to charity,
I honestly don't believe that.
You call yourself a human rights attorney. I'm guessing you're probably in corporate law.

I happen to be a lawyer, myself. I know a good number of human rights attorneys and literally zero of them own luxuries anywhere close to what you have. Not because they don't make money, but because they'd be embarrassed. You can't possibly work with some of the poorest, most vulnerable people on Earth and not feel like a greedy fuck, unless you're pathologically incapable of shame.

>>17628075
Why would one have a collection of quartz and mediocre shitters and higher end luxury and nothing in between? Fake

>>17628025

>>17628130
>i'm not entirely satisfied with my life, that's why I've become an art photographer too in my recet years.
...and you probably have a pretty decent selection of cameras and camera equipment already...something more to consooom

>I consoooom because I earn a fairly amount of money and thankfully have a lot of expendable income to burn. I give a lot to charity, but I also collect rare books, ivory carvings (netsukes), art, disks and vinyls, luxury pens, cufflinks, some antiques...
The fact that you point out that you give to charity is an attempt to justify your consoooming as harmless. It's harmless to other people, but it's hurting you. Your own greed notwithstanding, it's pretty obvious that you feel weighed down by your collection of crap that no one in your life cares about.

If you decided on a whim to liquidate your stuff. Keep one watch, one pen, etc. and give the rare books to libraries (so everyone can enjoy them) sell the rest and actually give the money to people who need food, shelter and clothes, you'd feel a lot better.

Yes, I WAS in corporate law, years ago. That's where I learned everything, and when I bought my house and my apartment and several of my watches.

I do give some money directly to charity, but mainly, every representation I do of vulnerable groups and ethnic minorities is done pro bono. BUT I always go for compensatory and punitive damages so, if and when we win, I take a nice big slice of the cake. I earned it. I don't need to feel embarrassed about the value of my work.
Plus, sometimes there are NGOs that offers to cover this kind of fees.

Thanks, m8.

>>17628175

>>17628458
It has an exhibition caseback in the 70s? That's pretty innovative TBQH.

>rotor is louder than a $20 dollar Winner with a $5 movement
>bracelet is horrific, some links are stiffer than others, diver extension opens every time you try to put the watch on
>bezel more sloppy than the $20 Winner, good half a mm of play in every direction
>hands have visibly pooled paint at the bottom
>lume is shit and uneven on some markers

I will grease the rotor at some point and ultrasonic and baby oil the bracelet at some point then probably give it to a friend. Should've just bought a 35mm PRX.

>>17628546
>buying fakes
Well at least you've learned why it's a bad idea.

>>17628550
About $400. I remember buying a Breitling Superocean about 10 years ago for half the price and much higher quality. At least the bezel wasn't loose.

>>17628546
lmao you can see through the blue paint on the hands

>>17628025
Literally can cover a wide desk with his watches. Damn.

>>17628454
It doesn't say Rolex on it idiot?

>>17628546
Why didn't you buy a simple watch where they don't have anything to fuck up like Rolex?

>>17628588
That's obviously a watchstore you idiot.
Don't fall for it and stop simping.

>>17628589
That's not a question.

Every 5 years or so, or until they stop working properly

Should be the same as an automatic, but without the 'wait for it to stop working properly' part.

>>17628613
bruh why is the dial dirty

>>17628639
You'll get robbed by poor people, don't bring expensive stuff, you already have a target on your back being a foreigner, which they know, now you have a bigger target since its a watch and those a relatively easy to steal

>>17628643

wtf how would they know? I am white
you are trying to scare me, right?
>>17628644
oh come on, it can't be THAT bad

>>17628642
It's not dirty, some call it patina. The silver lacquer has faded, probably because of the radioactive lume. Many Weekdaters (this particular model) have this 'issue'.

>>17628650
They'll know, and no not trying to scare you

>>17628652
I've heard of radium burn on dials before but does tritium do that too?

>>17628652
Here's a list of all the different models (with some missing) of the Weekdaters with the 6 o'clock day. They were only produced for 3 years, so there aren't really that many of them out there. They're not rare by any means, but not exactly common either. They eventually evolved into the 62GS, it was basically its predecessor.
>>17628657
>tritium
Seiko used Promethium-147 up until the late 90's.
>>17628662
I know, and i'm using it as an excuse to talk about my watch.

>>17628666
>Seiko used Promethium-147 up until the late 90's.
Huh, no shit. How does that compare with tritium & radium?

>>17628323
24 replicas, at 500 dollars a pop, assuming they are decent ones, equals 12k dollars spent on literal trash.
Probably the most niggerish decision making I've ever seen

Seriously though, why does /wt/ always talk and reccomend Seiko

Citizens are cuter

>>17628670
Would you rather 24 (quality varies) reps, or one 12k watch /wt/? Choose carefully.

>>17628673
24 reps obviously

>>17628669
I forgot already, someone digged into it and this is what they came up with.
https://www.thewatchforum.co.uk/threads/seiko-and-radioactive-lume-a-tentative-history.149553/
Here you can see the lugs are starting to look like the 62GS ones, all that was left for the 62GS to be born was the removal of the bezel.
Thanks for reading my blog.

One 12k watch obviously.

>Plus, sometimes there are NGOs that offers to cover this kind of fees.
>What kind of lawyer are you, btw?

I'm >>17628163
I'm in patent law, mainly, and also work with military veterans.

An important thing you willfully fail to consider is the amount you give you charity matters less than the percentage of what you give away. The poor person who volunteers at the local church gives more away than you ever have or will. Elon Musk can give away a million dollars, but that means so little to him that he's basically given nothing.
You can call yourself a human rights lawyer, you can claim you give to charity, but the reality is that you're the one here coping; because if you live like you do, you're giving functionally nothing.

You can be greedy all you want, but don't try to claim that you're a saint at the same time.

But, then again, I also see that your responses have become angrier and angrier over the course of this thread, so you must have been drunk or something in that moment of vulnerability.

Now post your garbage dial or "ethically sourced" wood case, or whatever.

Define "small" because no. IIRC there's one that's like 39mm and it's a limited edition hand winder. Nothing actually small.

I have no stake or concern for whether or not this watch is fake, but I just want to mention the higher end reproductions fake the papers and cards and stuff, too. Beyond actually running serials and/or opening and inspecting the movements it's nearly impossible to spot a good fake by looking at a picture.

>>17628798
Putting a few fake diamonds on a men's watch doesn't make it a women's watch. I will go to the grave fighting for this truth.

Guys? I t-think it's real...
I mean, everything looks right to me.

>>17628832
Honestly, there's no way to tell from pictures.
Obviously, the rep manufacturers sell fake boxes and, on the surface level, fakes of popular Rolex models have gotten very very good.
But if you got a chance to hold it, you'd be able to tell immediately. The movement would feel like shit, the bracelet links wouldn't be silky smooth. The movement is probably just a clone of an ETA 2836. That sort of shit.

So you have to go with inferential clues and make educated guesses.
>Is the wearer trying to flex?
>Is the wearer acting like a chimp?
Someone who bought the real thing probably wouldn't be acting like this.

>>17628833
Honestly, he is not acting really like a chimp anymore than any other flexer. The alleged patent attorney that is also financially challenged seems more like an ape to me.

>>17628833
>Someone who bought the real thing probably wouldn't be acting like this.
Of course they do. Lolex wearers are the most toxic community in the watch world.

>>17628838
>Honestly, he is not acting really like a chimp anymore than any other flexer
Yes, he is. Also, look at him >>17628827. His family WAS chimps just a few generations ago.

>>17628827
I don't think any of the reps have a 707 serial.

>>17628842
I think you say that because he posted a gen Rolex and you posted nothing.

>>17628845
Be honest (you won't) how much samefagging have you been doing this morning?

>>17628846
Not samefagging tho, I just like Rolex.

>>17628844
Don't genuine rolexes have a little serif on the A's in the text that reps generally don't duplicate well? It's hard to tell but I don't think I can see it.

>>17628845
I posted >>17628790. No one cared.

It's weird how acclimation on watches works. Last year I went from a relatively huge 42mm watch to a 38mm watch and I kept looking at it for a long time like "man, is this watch too small for me?" Now I've been wearing a 36mm for a while and just today I started looking at it thinking "man, is this watch too big? I think I could go smaller than this." Is trying out a 34mm the next move? Maybe a thin rectangular watch? There were a couple rectangular and square watches I was kind of curious about but my wife said square watches look fucking gay and she refuses to be married to a fag.

>>17628793

>>17628775
I think it's about 25mm (11,5 ligne) wide and 6mm tall, so it'd not that big.

Funny, I talked yesterday to someone who went to Naples recently and she told me that the place looked dirty and that she felt very unsafe there. Southern Italia is basically a shithole compared to the north. She told me that she liked Rome and felt safe there that said.

>>17628865
I've gone from a 3861 Speedy to a 36mm Explorer this week, and I'm thinking the explorer wears too bulky - the case is less ergonomic and the bracelet & clasp appear thicker; it's all about how watches hold their size.

>>17628754
Big G-shocks are for big guys. Are you big enough ?

>>17628870
>>17628871
That's not my wrist and not really the type of watch I would go for, just a picture from the internet of a 34mm watch. If I did it I would go for something more like a steel bracelet Datejust or Explorer or something.

It's kinda funny, I've been googling for pictures of decent wrist shots of men wearing 34mm watches and almost every single one is from some manner of mutant, and if they aren't a mutant their 34mm watch looks exactly like a 40mm or 42mm would look on me. I think this picture is the closest to me, imagine if this guy's forearm wasn't twisted like he broke it in half 6 years ago and the bones weren't set correctly and you pretty much have my arm.

>>17628891
Very sexy, m'lady. Keep pushing below, maybe you can reach 32mm. Or 28mm!

>>17628886
That's actually the watch I'm wearing, an explorer. I guess it does wear a little bigger than it is, it kinda feels like a 38mm.

>>17628025
what's that

Gentlemen, prepare to vomit

In this thread we all have an Explorer or want a Santos. How influential is TGV?

>>17628901
That's a Chopard LUC 1937 in steel. The strap is aftermarket.
It's a dinner plate at 42mm but it's fine if you have XL wrists.

They don't hold value for shit so you can pick up a second hand one in like new condition for about 4k USD.

>>17628906
Only the weak minds are influenced by aspirational losers like TGVile.

>>17628908
Thx WOW that's actually beautiful. Good price to
Any sauce on the aftermarket strap?

>>17628894
Do you actually, unirionically think less of a man that wears a watch 36mm or less?

I'm not interested in watches. In fact, I don't even own one.

But I love this general. You guys are the angriest, most thin-skinned, most easily-baited, most ENTERTAINING, general on this whole hellsite. You guys will fight over literally anything.

I just want take a minute to thank you.

>>17628910
What is actually wrong with him? For all the bitching people do about him he at least fucking owns the watches he talks about, or at minimum has the access to borrow them from people who do, and he does really thorough and honest in-depth reviews with good videography and minimal shilling. Watch youtube is an expansive wasteland of guys sitting in front of a face cam bitching about watches they can't even hold in their hands. At least TGV can occasionally be seen outside touching grass while wearing Rolexes and Cartiers in his videos.

Can I put whatever 18mm band on my f91w, or do I need an adapter like with my g shock.

>>17628923
he is pretty based regarding watches, but he is cringe in the way he wants to be an aristocrat, but isn't

The Squalel Lion-Shark(?) atrocity begs to differ.
TGV is an actual prostitute offering his cock-hungry gaping asshole to any micro-crap who fancies a taste.

>>17628920
Enjoy your stay. Honestly, I invite you to dip your toes into the hobby, watches are really cool as long as you compartmentalize the retards who sperg out over them in the funny cringe folder they belong in. Check out some Casios and Islanders and Squales and shit at least. I know you're probably thinking "my phone tells the time, why would I wear a watch?" But something about wearing them just feels good.

A Rolex costs on average what, 10k? Meanwhile there’s chicks making 35k a year driving G Wagons on finance. Worry less about how other people see you and more about self actualisation because all owning a Rolex means is that you have access to a small amount of money
