Come say that to my face, you triple nigger. I'll break you neck.

What do I need to get next?

>>17637061
Tell us more.

>>17637065
Jogger, pls.

>>17637067
A lobotomy.

>>17637067
A new strap for the skx.

>>17637067
Throw the Garmin, Seikope and Omegay in the bin. Rolex is all you need.

>>17637067
No question

>>17637069
Last summer I was wearing it with the strap slightly loose because it was hot. Clasp came undone and the watch fell on a tile floor. Sent it off to a service and it's been gone for months. Probably gonna order a replica beads of rice bracelet

>>17637052
Christopher Ward, need it or sneed it?
36mm for a wristlet dicklet

>>17637093
hard pass

>>17637061
Is it working? Nice, anon

>>17637094
Why? Bad movement?

>>17637093
Sneed it, Chris Ward watches are souless as fuck

>>17637093
>Hey is that a Rolex Oyster Perp-
>Oh... never mind.

>>17637097
ugly watch

what watch is this

>>17637102
Red Rolex Oyster perpetual go for 13k and up.
Christopher Ward is 1k or less, same size same look unless you actually stare at the watch, from not a total knockoff brand, so there is that.

Also, Sellita SW200 swiss movement and sapphire crystal.

>>17637106
If it's ugly then Oyster perpetual are ugly too.

>>17637111
If you're okay with buying an homage then go for it.

>>17637110
not a JUNGHANS Max Bill it looks like it.

>>17637112
Don't ask for opinions if you're going to get all defensive about it.

Buy it if you want.

>>17637115
Not defensive bruh, i appreciate your takes and i'm not set on this watch, just saying the pros.

>>17637112
>If it's ugly then Oyster perpetual are ugly too.
The OP is much more refined and elegant. It's all in the details.

>>17637093
Rather get a Seiko or a Citizen desu

>>17637122
Fuck no.
Get a Baltic. At least they're stylish.

What precisely are the differences between Explorer and Oyster Perpetual other than the numerals on the dial?

>>17637131
Dial and price

>>17637131
The bezel on the Explorer is flatter and the OP is rounder, this gives the explorer a little bit shinier look. Also I think the clasp is better on the new explorers.

>>17637131
The bracelet and clasp aren't the same.
The Explorer has a daintier bracelet (19mm for the 36mm version, vs 20mm for the 36mm OP) and the oysterlock clasp just like all "professional" Rolex.

>>17637110
Looms similar to a Nomos, but i'm quite sure it isn't one. Could be a Sternglas but i can't find one with a power reserve, so that's probably not it either. Probably some chink homage.

How do I get rid of my acquired watch autism

>>17637178
stop wearing a watch for a while. i'm still interested in reading about watch making and seeing what people wear and what companies are coming out with, but i haven't been interested in buying a new one in a long time.

>>17637052
Recommend me something like the sarb for old sarb money.

>>17637211
Islander. Or just buy the sarb, it's iconic.

Seiko SACM151
Citizen MQ24

Any ideas for a 34/35mm watch with a steel bracelets?

I like blue and orange dials. Also interested in obscure watches in this size region.

>>17637178
realize they're all made in china (not bad per se) and overpriced x5

>>17637233
>34/35mm watch with a steel bracelets?
That's a tough one, especially the bracelet part. Does anyone even make such small watches anymore? Just go vintage and put it on a strap. Pic unrelated, my two small vintage Seikos.

Daily reminder to bow down to the crown.

>>17637067
A dress watch. Also

>>17637211
>something like the sarb for old sarb money.
Do you have a time machine? Doesn't exist since even the lowest of the low brands figured the programmer basedtards have WAY too much money.

>>17637233
Longines Spirit

>>17637233
>Any ideas for a 34/35mm watch with a steel bracelets?
>I like blue and orange dials.

>>17637277
Too feminine for me

any of you guys own this Citizen? how shiny is the dial?
I like it and I want a dressy watch but I'm afraid I won"t like the dial. I'd prefer if it were just plain white.

>>17637280
Those sizes will almost always be unisex. Omega kept the good colors for the real mens version (red, green).

What about picrel? it's a 37 tho

>>17637292
Yes i like the bold colors much better. Maybe i just need to keep looking for vintage listings.

Hi, my friends!
How are you this fine, fine thursday?

>>17637061
Congrats! Hope it remains working properly for several years. How many months did you had to wait to have it back? Rice bracelet sounds great btw.

>>17637069
'sup, my friend?

>>17636675
Very nice! Not often do we see another independent high-end in here. I hope it is actually yours, but judging from the rest of your post, I really can't tell.
Anyway, very nice Jürgensen.

This threads are always weird. Very few times they are good, but very fast and disappear before you're able to contribute, or extremely slow filled with nothing but trolling from both sides.

>>17637341
Ok, my bad. Sorry. But you have to admit that weird talk about collecting boots was suspicious at least. But that's already water under the bridge.
As I said, very, very nice Jules Jürgensen. How long have you had it?
I'd love if you could share some more pics of it.

>>17637374

Could I run with something like this? Would the clasp hold?

My dad said he would pay for half a cartier tank but not half of a santos(which I sorta wanted more). Should I get the tank (and spend 2k of my own money) or turn down his offer and spend none of my own money and get nothing

>>17637404
lo lollllllllll you're dad is POOROOOOROROROROORRRRRRRRRRRR

>>17637404
Compromise and get a Santos-Dumont.

>>17637111
>I'd rather spend more money for a watch that looks even less like the watch I'd like to get
buy a rep if you want an OP but can't afford it

>>17637404
Don't comprimise, save up and get the Santos.

>>17637409
Why are you talking shit on his dad when you should be telling gim exactly what his dad should be saying, which is "get a fucking job and buy your own watch you fucking bum?" I'll be god damned if I go halfsies on a luxury watch for a deadbeat kid that still lives in my fucking house.

>>17637391
Dont be a pussy and get a golden bracelet

>>17637379
Yes it is. I checked and believe it or not it's a whopping 33 hours.
>>17637385
Neat.

>>17637391
Nah, anon, steel could never hold up to your thunderous footfalls.

>>17637404
Take advantage of your dad and buy a Cartier tank, sell it, and use the profit+the rest of your cash to get a Santos. Jewish as fuck and you have no balls if you don't do it

>>17637442
I'm asking because I used to have a Casio Edifice back in the day and the clasp would often fail me mid-run.

Is it expensive, difficult, or weird to order spare bracelets for luxury brands like Rolex and the like? Like if I have a datejust, will the AD give me a hard time and/or a shitty price for getting a second bracelet that I could size for my wife if she wanted to wear the watch so I wouldn't have to fuck around so much with taking out or putting on new links?

>>17637456
I don’t think they’ll do it at all. Rolex is really weird and protective about bracelets and straps.

>>17637459
Damn, it's like they want me to buy my wife her own datejust.

>>17637456
Most brands are cool and will just sell you a bracelet or strap, regardless of whether you own the watch or not.

Rolex is incredibly autistic and will only sell you a bracelet for a watch you already own (and it has to be the watch's standard bracelet.) Like, if you had a two-tone Datejust and wanted to get a full-steel DJ bracelet for it, they would say no.

In either case, it will be extremely expensive though.

>>17637337
why did they stop making interesting designs like this? seiko is so boring nowadays

>>17637466
Women don’t appreciate expensive watches anyway.

>no spuderman movie font

Should I get the 36mm or 41mm OP? I want to like the 36mm because it was the classic size, but it just feels like I’m wearing a woman’s watch. Pic related what I’m currently wearing, Sinn 103 41mm

Already got 5 compliments and dick sucked twice thanks to this bb

Or where to find a strap like this?

>>17637766
Saffiano is what you're looking for.

>>17637770
great! thank you

Anyone own a GPS or Radio Sync watch? I like the idea of never having to be concerned with battery or being concerned with adjusting time ever again. Not sure why the Seiko Astrons are so much more expensive than the Oceanus watches though.

>>17637519
I need a baby g.

I’m surprised Tag Heuer is so much lower than Longines. I thought they were on the same tier.

Won't be surprised, he's a notorious lurker. If you fucks are seeing this, make a video about Rolex's dogshit 32XX. For some reason, none of the YouTube shills are talking about the problems with it.

I want a dress watch, up to $1k
is the 38mm Bambino the best option?
what else is there?
also not against quartz--I liked the seiko dolce you guys have been memeing but 33.5mm is too small for me.

i wear flanell shirts and plan to run and swim with it.

the submariner, daydate, and any other seems very recognizeable for anyone who's ever visited the rolex website. and too big/flashy, impratical.

>>17637685
That’s what I’m thinking, thanks anon. My wrist is 7.5” and I’m honestly starting to feel like my Sinn is a little too large. Next time I’m in the Rolex AD I will ask them to call me if they get a silver OP or an Explorer. I’m somewhat familiar with Rolex AD games, but I think those two would be easy enough to get, right? No idea.

>>17637404
Santos all the way m8
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Don't compromise

>>17638204
I think getting an OP is actually realistic these days. You might have to wait a bit, but I'm sure you'll get one eventually if you ask.

>>17638204
they probably have thousands you retard

Tips to get a Rolex in no time with 0 purchase history
>go to AD
>ask to try on some watches
>after trying them on, ask to be put on the waiting list
>sale assistant will most likely tell you it's impossible
>EXPLICITELY say that you have the money sleeping on your account and you can wire it immediately
>also ask for the business card of the sale assistant
>call and visit the AD every now and then and ask for your sale assistant
What you need to understand is there are X Rolex available and 5*X customers. Only the most perseverant will get the call. Also you have no ideas how many people flake out once they get the call because they couldn't bare the wait. This is why ADs always sell to the same person, because they know they have the money. SAY YOU HAVE THE MONEY WAITING TO BE WIRED. REPEAT IT MULTIPLE TIMES LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT.

Do this and you'll get your Rolex in 2 months. Guaranteed.

>>17638233
pull up your pants before you walk in there and they might treat you with respect and open the holy coffers for you

I don’t mean to brag. My point is just that the Rolex AD games are ridiculous and honestly turn me off from the brand. I’ve been on the “waitlist” for at least two years now and I’m not gonna grovel to some wagie sales rep for the chance to buy a watch.

When you spend money on a credit card you get points, each point is worth a few cents or something like that. You can redeem them for things like airline tickets or just cash. If you pay off your credit in full monthly before interest accrues your points are basically free money. I end up getting a couple grand a year across a few credit cards. The Seiko was about 800 bucks which I had already in points gained from normal spending.

>>17638472
Just get another SMP, a Breitling or Tudor is a downgrade. You can get great deals on pre-owned ones.

>>17638515
Must be nice to live in a rich country that has that, my Amex only has some retarded coupons for 10% off in random shops and shit like that.

>>17638533
Why the fuck would you pay for an Amex card that doesn't accumulate reward points? Massive scam

>>17638535

It does but you can only get that kind of bullshit for them.

>>17638380

Why is this? Is this why the Rolex AD rep expects you to lick their butthole while you're in their store? Why does Rolex, AP and Patek value go up when better brands like Omega or JLC go down?

>>17638584
>better brands like Omega or JLC

>>17638584
>>Why is this? Is this why the Rolex AD rep expects you to lick their butthole while you're in their store?
Yes.

Thought I’d share my experience trying to try and get my name on the list for an OP or DJ at an AD. As a foreword—I get that ADs don’t care and that they’re looking for you to spend money on other stuff but honestly I just left feeling a little bummed.

Don’t know if it had something to do with the fact that I’m a scrawny 24 year old brown guy that pulled up in a hoodie, but felt like I was shrugged off. The guy scoffed when I asked if they had anything in stock—I’m well aware they don’t usually but has it ever hurt to ask? Begrudgingly let me try on whatever they had in the case. Maybe I’m overreacting, but I went to the exact same AD 6 months ago and the different salesperson was far more engaged, helpful, and took me seriously.

For context I make $350K a year, and this was an opportunity to celebrate my first bonus out of college. I grew up dirt poor. This was something I aspired towards as a kid.

It’s a watch but thought there’d at least be a decent buying experience. But felt like pulling teeth. Overreacting? Anyone else had a similar experience, what’d you do?

>>17638622
Sucking the AD dry

>>17638622
Buckbreaking poor retail workers by wearing a fitness tracker behind it on the same wrist and using NFC payment from the tracker so I get to hold my Rolex and extended fist in the wagie's face as my transaction is completed. Everyone working behind the counter and everyone next to me in line has to look at my watch and despair at their mediocre poorfag existence.

>>17638622
They’re comfortable and look nice and maybe you get a tiny stupid thrill from the flex. I know it’s just trolling here but hopefully no one IRL actually thinks they’re hot shit for wearing one.

>>17638622
Knowing you made the right choice.
I get that some people don't like Rolex' designs, but apart from that they're pretty much unmoggable.

>>17638621
I'm not seething just saddened that someone would go for such a boring watch when they have money that allows them for so many different options. I think it is mostly people wanting to own THE WATCH that you can flex with on the average person who wouldn't recognize the way more expensive "watch person" brands.

>>17638636
>I know it’s just trolling here
Yeah, you'd think that wouldn't you?

>>17638643
Do normal people even "recognize" rolexes? People know the name obviously, but I don't think normies could tell a Rolex from a mall watch from a distance where it's not possible to read the dial. Legitimately they wouldn't know the difference between a Datejust and this Timex.

>>17638345
if you paid up to 10$, you did fine

>>17638650
They definitely can’t. People also think they cost like 1k. Maybe it’s different now with all the luxury lifestyle TikTok’s and stuff that have become popular.

>>17638655
This shit right here costs around 120$ retail, iirc

>>17638650
>>Do normal people even "recognize" rolexes?
Yes, they see it on their Instagram feeds and other social media every day.

>>17638427
WOW SIR. GOOD MORNING.

I'm trying to find a half decent small unintrusive fitness tracker to wear on my strong hand that I can easily swap straps and customize and stuff and it's triggering to me how few have actual lugs to lets you use real watch straps and how almost all of those seem to have a fucking retarded oddball lug width like 17mm or 25 mm.

>>17638692
Actually, the most triggering thing about it is that they almost never actually tell you the lug width in the product info, if you can't physically see one in person and measure it you have to either go out of your way to find people that have one to ask them (they probably won't know and never thought about it before) or just fucking guess. But you can safely bet it's a weird size that you'll have to go directly to them to get more straps.

>>17637093
I have the foxglove c63 and love it.
I didn't buy the bracelet version becaude apparently it's very unforgiving to wristlets. Sw200 rotor is kind of shitty.

anything like this with a thinner bezel?

I saw a watch and I've been trying to find it.

Sapphire sandwich speedies don't retail for 8k and sure as fuck didn't 2 years ago. More like 5k sells for 3-4k

Only 6100 dollar Rolex is an explorer, OP, maybe datejust. Those 3 models are not selling for 17k and 11k is a stretch

>>17638588
If you actually made 350k a year you would have no reason to play AD games and could just spend the 2x at most retail to get one. Larp

>>17638790
For me that would be a pain to wear for instant legibility issues. Not enough contrast between dial, hands and that white lume.

>>17638790
These day and date windows are revolting. Literally Seiko-tier. Don't waste your money on that.

>>17638662
This. Today i said to a girl that certain Breitling was a cheap ass 2000€ second hand watch and she almost choked. She really thought a legit "luxury" watch was like only a bit more expensive than an Apple smartshit.

>>17638842
But if that were true everyone would have one?

>>17638851
Normies can't conceptualize luxury pricing for watches

I would rather wear this than an Omega Seamaster.

>>17638861
Im sorry man. Get well soon.

>>17638856
Normies with jobs can conceptualize $500 not being that much money. If Rolexes were $500 I'd buy every model they make for fun and not even think twice about it.

What are some watches with depth in the watchface?

>>17638876
It doesn't get much deeper than this.

>>17638876

>>17638899
>>17638907
i dont just mean the ring around the dial but depth changes the dial like how the speedmaster has these recessed chronograph subdials

little details like that

>>17638851
Most people think 1000 is outrageous to spend on a watch.

>>17638922
Anyone sane wouldn't spend more than about 200 bucks on a watch. 20-50 bucks is the sweet spot for price/performance, you'll hit the 100 dollar mark if you want "luxury" features like sapphire crystals and ceramic bezels.

>>17638746
Hell yeah.
>>17638757
Beautiful
>>17638804
Honestly not a bad idea.

I’m at the point where I just want to sell everything except my Sinn 104 and start over with high end pieces. I tried to build a coolguy watch collecting too quickly and bought dumb shit

>>17638922
It is. There's really nothing logical about luxury watch pricing. Every Rolex costs over 5x what it has any right to cost.

>>17638926
is that 104? fucking love that shit bro, gorgeous watch

>>17638924

not a stepup over an apple watch

I enjoy Steely Dan, Sissy Femdom, Young Thug, Mark Knopfler, Painting and naturally beautiful women; Suggest a watch for me. A Telegram mistress made me wrap my private parts in tape at this very moment.

>>17638932
Compare the Explorer to the Sinn 556. Very similar watches, both made in steel, the only differences are the Sinn is a little larger and has a date complication. The Sinn sells for under $2k, the Explorer sells for about $7k now. Why? Is it just the "superlative chronometer" shit? Is there any good reason beyond that and the name recognition that the Rolex costs over 3x as much? I'd argue even the Sinn is pricy for what it is.

>>17638941
I like the rugged guy aesthetic a little, but I get what you mean
my pa gifted me a midshelf frederique constant when I graduated from high school, didnt appreciate it then so I think I lost it, would be cool to find it now

>>17638947
Watches are useless jewelry for male identifying humans. Of course the prices are completely irrational, i guess common Rolex models production cost may be 350-500$ max.

>>17638948

>>17638875
I have a friend who’s a lawyer in NYC making 250k+ and he nearly shit himself when I told him I paid $4500 for an SMP 300. Non-watch people just don’t get it at all.

>>17638955
>i guess common Rolex models production cost may be 350-500$ max.
You clearly know nothing about manufacturing, especially manufacturing tiny parts to very tight tolerances.

>>17638947
Just putting this out there: If you don't own a Sinn at their current price points, you're a fucking retard.

>>17638965
I'm big into watches, and I don't get it at all. The precision involved in watch building is laughable, look at >>17638966. This dude honestly thinks a fucking Rolex costs more than 500 dollars to produce.

>>17638965
>who’s a lawyer in NYC making 250k+

>>17638970

>putting low res jpegs of planets on your watch

What did Omega mean by this?

>>17638966
Miyota movements with the same beat rate cost under $100 each and whole watches using them are routinely under $500. I get it, it's not easy to make a watch, but clearly it doesn't have to be all that expensive to move 3 hands with decent accuracy. We know that because the market shows this, it exists in the market.

>>17638970
top blue cities require 100k to live comfortably, 110k tops
250k is excellent money anywhere in the world, its 20k per month ffs, what do you think goes on in NYC?

>>17638968
Rule of thumb for manufacturing is to charge 10x BOM for the product. Many rolexes cost more than 5k and at least some of the higher end price are over 500 to produce.

>>17638968
I definitely agree, but most people with money spend on dumb shit whether it’s cars, designer clothes, tech, bourbon, casinos, hookers etc. so I don’t think watches are THAT much more egregious than any other expensive indulgence. At least you can get some of your money back with watches.

>>17638973
That's probably what they look like on the monitors in the space shuttle.

>>17638987
Most people don't really care that much about outdated technology that requires frequent repair, and performs terribly at its basic function.

Automatic watches are like living in a world where scourer manufacturers were scared of the dishwasher market, so they marketed their scrubbing supplies as a premium alternative for luxury cleaning by charging 200 bucks a pop. Dishwashers are gross and soulless, if you aren't scrubbing by hand those dishes aren't cool.

>>17638584
>omega
>better
lmao
nothing made in china can be better as a luxury good
certainly not better than rolex

>>17638975
It doesn't HAVE to be all that expensive to make "a watch", but you're getting a +-30 sec/day movement. A +-1 sec/day movement costs a lot more because of diminishing returns. Each increment of precision costs more than the last to implement.

>>17638985
Their finishing in the 1-3k range watches is superior to the stuff you see for 3x the price (apart from like Longines and some of Tudor's models). And they increase their prices by like 7-12% every year.

It's like seeing someone setting the price of a desirable good too low, to gain customers, just to rip everyone's eyes out in the coming years.

How do we make wearing small watches socially acceptable for men again?

>>17639020
If you don't wear a 34-36 mill on the reg, you're a fucking faggot.
