First for quartzchads, mechanicucks on suicide watch

I like this Vostok Amphibia but I've never had a watch I've had to wind more. I wind it when I take it off if I'm gonna wear it the following day. If it isn't wound quite a bit the hands get stuck on each other. I have regulated this and gotten +/- 4 seconds. But round trip through an airport will nosedive the thing into +/- 10-14. Over all for a $100 diver I'm enjoying it. Already scratched the acrylic. Nice.

Buy Laurent Ferrier.

>>17659556
Did you get a non automatic amphibia? I only have to wind it the first time I put it on.

>>17659558
Man I wish I could afford a VC Americana

>>17659558
No. They're too big. I like these modern small Pateks. Maybe some day.

>>17659571
Saw one the other day, it was huge and I found it very disappointing, did not look or feel luxurious at all.

>>17659549
I can enjoy both.

I haven't worn a watch in about 2 weeks and my stress levels have noticeably gone down

>>17659580
Fucking gorgeous

>>17659571
>>17659576
That's funny. I was at a boutique the other day and tried on the 40mm 1921. It has been my favorite watch from VC for years yet I found it totally underwhelming in person. Couldn't even tell you why, it just did not feel like a $40k watch.

>>17659582
Suck a dick. I think that will help too brother.

>Verification not required

>>17659580
Is that modern? They've been making the 3923 since at least 1990.

>>17659585
>it just did not feel like a $40k watch.
That happens.
You see super high-res. images, you put it up on a pedestal and then, when you finally get to handle it...it's just another watch. Ah well.

>>17659590
That's true but I've also had the opposite experience. Some brands just ooze character and quality like Lange, Gronefeld, high end Moser, and of course high end complicated Patek. I just found it strange because the VC is obviously well-made and interesting and I had it on my wish list for years but it left me feeling cold after actually seeing it in person.

>>17659586
you gay

Anyone has that gif of a middle aged man standing by advertisement panel on the street, somewhere in greece during a protest that is turning into a riot? He seems really annoyed, whips out his wrist to check time and then just shakes his head

>>17659558
The one on the right looks really good.

>>17659561
Nah it's automatic. Just seems like the movement is weak sometimes. Gotta slap it to get the hands to move kek.

>>17659599
This one is only 50K

>>17659582
Stop wearing digital watches and get a beautiful dialed analog. Digital watches rush you and give a sense that time is passing faster. Good if you need to be reminded about some deadline but bad in every other sense.

>>17659608
Go bring it to a watchmaker and have him oil it. With a 31h power reserve it shouldn't be doing that.

I have a budget of 76 dollars can anyone recommend something to me?

QRD on Uncle Seiko rubber straps?
Choc bar, tropics, waffle etc. Why should've I spent $40+ shipping instead of the $9 shipped chinese special tropic strap that smelled chemically at first but now is OK?
For my old citizen NY0400.

>>17659615
I might have to do that. How difficult would it be to take the movement out and oil it myself? Would it even be worth doing? What should a watchmaker ask for that before I go walking into a scam?

>>17659628
I recommend you get more money. At least a 100 so you can get a G-Shock or something.

>>17659635
I don't think you should. Uncle chang quality is probably equivalent to uncle seiko but doesn't use custom molds with logos

>>17659636
You have to disassemble the whole movement, clean all the parts, then oil each part as needed. Worth watching some YouTube videos first but you need equipment and practice. Unless you really like the watch or it's valuable it's not worth servicing just put a new movement in it.

>>17659672
Yeah I'm just gonna put up with it's bullshit until I can buy something nice. Anyway thanks for the advice.

Longines for me, Tudor is too big and chunky for my taste.

>>17659817
Why you wearing your big momma's watch tho?

>>17659817
Very nice. Yeah we've gotten a bit of it my way but the wind has changed and things cleared up.

>>17659817
Do you wear that only with dress shirts or can you dress it down and wear it casually? That strap looks pretty rustic.

>>17659856
Yeah, it goes fine with a polo and khakis. It all depends on the strap. If you mount a thin, black, gator skin strap, then it looks really dressy.
If you mount a distressed, thick, brown strap, it looks very casual.

>>17659813
Tudor is too thick Longines is too big. Both are shit

>>17659813

What is the best diver watch in terms of price quality ratio?

>>17659983
Probably the Rolex Submariner. Maybe the Rolex Sea-Dweller, but I think that's gone oversized recently.

>>17659813
Get the San martin if you're thinking of getting the Tudor.
At least the chinks can make their watch thinner.

>Citizen Promaster
what is it with japanese manufacturers and their obsession with naming their products after various genital and perineal anatomical structures?
promaster sounds too similar to cremaster, which is pic related. not even gonna comment on oceanus

>>17660081
You just have dicks on the brain.

>>17660081
>what is it with japanese manufacturers and their obsession with naming their products after various genital and perineal anatomical structures?
It's a cultural phenomenon. Like most non-Enlightened, non-Christian cultures, they view the genitals as the source of Life, not the immortal soul.
It's up to the individual to determine how long they are able to countenance such things before descending into sin.

SOTC. Need a bigger watchbox. Thinking of losing the citizen and maybe even the omega. The Seiko 5 I’ll keep cause what’s even the point of selling it?

>>17660092
even if you dont wear omega that much right now, keep in mind, with every new iteration it will get more expensive, thicker and wider. i dont think it will lose to much value over the years. might as well keep it

>>17660092
what's the beige one top right?

>>17660092
>Need a bigger watchbox.
Negatory. Down that path lies only consooming.

Keep the Rolex, obviously.
The Omega's very cool (the only good Seamaster Diver, really) so only replace it if you have something at least equally cool to replace it with.
The Citizen...meh. Neat technology in a boring as fuck watch.
As for the G-Shock and the Seikos, put them in a drawer somewhere. Like you said, no point in selling. It would hardly be worth the time and postage.

If you kept the Omega as a casual watch and the Rolex as your daily wear, then logically, you'd want some kind of a great fuck-you piece. Something maybe precious metal, maybe even by an independent...

Maybe a complicated JLC? I dunno. There's a million great pieces out there.

>>17660097
Just an SNKL41, the dial is white irl. The light in my bedroom is very yellow.

>>17660098
I think you’re right on the money. That’s pretty much how I feel. The Seiko 5 and G shock only came out for the photo. I would love one of those new two tone GMT masters but I can’t justify the money (and could never get one from an AD).

>move to vegas
>EVERYONE is wearing a longines, swatch, omega or Rolex
Wow, the suburbs and the midwest are just broke bitches!

This is my 3 watches collection goal, i've yet to buy the Omega but it's in my price range.
A beater digital watch, a daily and a dress watch, all tasteful and modest.
Then i'll be set for life and forget about watches altogether...

Friends, my watch keeps migrating up over my ulna instead of staying centered on my wrist. What am I doing wrong? It seems to migrate there whether I keep the strap tight or loose

Which one should I buy fellas?

>>17660126
Did you buy it in Mexico?

why are people so autistic about water resistance

>>17660127
PRX

>>17660127
PRX looks better but you have to know that the movement is plastic trash that can't be serviced by anyone but Tissot and apparently they just change the movement when they do service them.
It's literally worse than quartz.

>>17660136
They want to be able to escape niggers trying to steal them.

>>17660136
Do you want to brick a $10k watch because you washed your hands?

>>17660139
>and apparently they just change the movement when they do service them.
...so you're saying they give you your watch back in working condition?
I mean, who really gives a fuck?

And, also, how often are you going to service one of these? Wear it until it stops running and then sell it to some rube.

>>17660127
i returned my prx i dont like how the bracelet fits

>>17660127

What do (you) think/feel about Chopard (L.U.C) and Piaget? Parmiginlani Fleurier?
They seem to make fantastic watches but nobody gives a shit.
Does anyone like them? Piaget have one look, but there's many Chopard LUC's that are viable alternatives to the usual PP/AP/VC/Lange.

Parmigiani seems to have some insane depreciation, or did. Now that that steel model is making the blogwhore rounds and the fact that the new king of england wears an old toric, perhaps the days of a good deal on a parmaham are over?

>>17660127
Tissot. At least they don't try to lie and pretend that each bracelet link is multiple pieces.

>>17660113
Budget would be something like that, but JLCs kind of leave me cold. I’m a blue collar dude (slum lord/house flipper), so have no need for dress watches, would probably go for a big gold Breitling or Rolex or even hublot for the fuck-off piece.

Anyone here who opens $3000 packs of trading cards wearing the black submariner?

>>17660169
my friend opened up a $10,000 pack wearing a datejust

>>17660136
Some people wash their hands. Perhaps that's news to you?
People also take showers, baths, and use jacuzzis and swimming pools.
From yt vids:
>guy lends his 3.5 gorillion RM to his thot daughter so she show off to her thought friends at home pool party
>50M WR - should be fine for a pool right? NO
>watch is wet inside and fucked, much like the aforementioned thot later that night
father took the RM to RM and they told him that it wasn't protected under warranty because he needed to have it serviced every 18 months and he didn't. Current RM service turnaround is 12months. So you wear the RM for a year and a half, and off to sevice for a year and repeat.
That's the official line. Or you could get it fixed by an independent watch repairer. Or, you know, buy a watch with more than 50M WR for perhaps <3.5mill. A thought.

Another story:
>guy plays grab ass with his wife around the pool at home
>Lange Saxonia , 30M WR
>meaning you can barely wash your hands with it
>moron grabs too hard
>falls into pool <6ft deep
>watch is flooded
Costly service ensues.

WR matters of you get wet.

>>17660127
prx doesnt look very good in person. it reminded me of sub 100 dollar vintage seiko 5s. definitely not worth asking price.dont know what other one is

>>17660177
Fuck autocorrect.

>>17660136

>>17660139
This is why if you’re going to get the PRX you get it in quartz

>>17660153
>What do (you) think/feel about Chopard (L.U.C) and Piaget? Parmiginlani Fleurier?

>Chopard
Dogshit. Yes, the LUC line is inhouse, but fucking Oris is inhouse these days. They're a brand that died decades ago and hasn't realized it yet.
>Piaget
The Altiplano is legit. Also, no one wears ultrathin dress watches so no one cares.
>Parmigiani Fleurier
An actually interesting independent. They have good movements, but their designs are godawful. People who like them are generally pretty sticky.

Ultra thin will have its popular phase once again.

>>17660177
50 meters of wr is plenty for amateur no gear diving. manufacturers lying about wr is the whole other thing
if i claim i can run 100m in 9.7 seconds and then proceed to get BTFO in olympic qualifications, barely crossing the finishing line and avoiding the heart attack, it doesnt mean 9.7 seconds is nowhere near enough to compete, it just mean that im an lying piece of shit
can you even begin to imagine how immense is the pressure of 50 meter high water column? forget 50m, try freediving to 15m and tell me how you feel... 50 meter WR not enough for pool? GTFOOH

>>17660186
it's fun dumb ass nigga

>>17660191
Yeah, I think so. You could argue it's kind of already there, given how many manufacturers are competing to see who can make the thinnest watches.

As the mainstream watch buying public gets into smaller (diameter) watches, thinness will naturally follow. To wit, a 42mm wide, 13mm thick watch is proportional, while a 38mm, 13mm thick watch is a chunk.

>>17660195
I raff that the dogshit rm costs 3.5million and dies in a pool.
Glorious Vostok Amphibia can go down 800m before the movement stops, and 2000m before the crystal shatters and case back indents.
It's only rated for 200m.

>>17660195
>50 meters of wr is plenty
It clearly is not.

>>17660202
>>17660201

Poor people worry about someone stealing their watch.
Rich people take their watch off to go swimming.

>>17660191
Whats stopping seiko or miyota from mass producing retardedly thin movements for other manufacturers to buy off the shelf? Does it cost significantly more to manufacturer components 10-20% smaller? If they could even get to the point where the typical microbrand watch could be 10-11mm thick and still have sturdy case construction it would be a game changer.

>>17660201
If I understand correctly, isn't the RM a watch designed for golfing? I think it makes a lot of sense a watch designed for a middle aged man to putz around at the driving range wouldn't be as water resistant as a dive watch.

>>17660213
>Does it cost significantly more to manufacturer components 10-20% smaller?
Actually yes. Thinness comes with huge durability issues. Designing an ultra thin movement is a real undertaking that most companies don't feel the need to bother with.
Rolex, for example, is never going to make a 6mm thick watch, so they're not going to bother.

>>17660136
Because they can't follow a simple chart.

>>17660213
Too thin and if you flex your wrist the case bends and the movement fucks up. This is a major hurdle for any maker doing ultra thins. Perhaps modern materials can make up for this inexpensively?
Not worth anyone's time to try.

>>17659983

Look at it from an opposing mirror, direct wrist shots always look somewhat bigger.

The Cartier Tank watch, designed by Louis Cartier in 1917, has gone through several evolutions in size and shape during its century-long history. As preferences and styles changed throughout time, the Tank watch adapted to consumer tastes, but it still maintained its iconic rectangular shape and Roman numeral dial. Here's a summary of some notable Tank models and how their sizes have changed:

1. Tank Normale (1917): The first Tank watch had a relatively small, rectangular case (23mm x 31mm) and was relatively slim. It was mostly targeted toward men but was considered unisex by modern standards.

2. Tank Cintrée (1921): This version featured a much longer, curvier rectangular case (20mm x 45mm) and maintained the slim profile of the original model.

3. Tank Basculante (1932): The size of this square-shaped model was approximately 23mm x 23mm, and its main innovation was the ability to pivot the case for protection or concealment.

4. Tank Chinoise (1934): This model had a more square-shaped case (26mm x 34mm) and distinct Chinese-inspired lugs.

5. Tank Louis Cartier (1970s–1980s): The Tank LC had several size changes during this time. Initially, it was around 23.5mm x 30.5mm with a slim profile, but by the 1980s, a larger, 33.5mm x 25.5mm case size appeared in response to the popularity of bigger watches.

6. Tank Française (1996): This update had a redesigned bracelet, and the case size was 25mm x 30mm for the small model, 28mm x 33mm for the medium model, and 36.5mm x 28mm for the large model.

7. Tank Anglaise (2012): This modernization included a reworked crown design and different case sizes, which were 30.2mm x 22.7mm for the small model, 39.2mm x 29.8mm for the medium model, and 47mm x 36.2mm for the large model.

8. Tank Solo (2013): With this modern interpretation, there were two size variants: the small one measuring 24.4mm x 31mm and the large one at 31mm x 40.85mm.

>>17660688
LMAO no don't be stupid. I take out business loans, the interest is way lower.

nah, the date cyclop is very dadcore.

Watch id?

>>17660467
WRISTLET SISTAS... i mean WRISTLET BROS, we need to downvote this.

Also, women shouldn't be into watches.
They have every other kind of jewelry, let us have watches, and ask us for the time.

>>17660725
>Also, women shouldn't be into watches.
>They have every other kind of jewelry, let us have watches, and ask us for the time.
Men took wristwatches from women after men got tired of carrying pocket watches. Women are merely taking back what was theirs to begin with.

Why do fatties feel so insecure about normal size watches?
Just lose weight and be fit lmao

>>17660744
36-44 is acceptable for average men’s wrists imo.

Why are wristlets ALWAYS so angry? It's not the end of the world. It's not like they have small wrists AND their manlets, right? Right??

>>17660751
lug to lug and thickness are more important than diameter.
Pic related is 40mm but feels rather small on the wrist because of the absence of lugs.

>>17660756
And this Breguet is borderline unwearable despite being 39mm because of these stupid elongated lugs.

>>17660757
How big is the between thiccness on this one? 50mm?

>>17660757
I always get triggered when I see this watch, what the FUCK were they thinking?

>>17660687
People really don't know how comfy small watches on leather straps are.

>>17660759
Lug to lug is 50mm.
Same as a Rolex Explorer 2 which is 42mm in diameter.

>been looking at a watch for years

Bros…the mail goblins got my watch

>>17660761
>what the FUCK were they thinking?
Simple.

>the Hayeks tell us sports watches are popular and we need to make one to compete with the Royal Oak
>But boss, we make dress watches and tourbillons...we don't know the first thing about sports watches.
>Shit, you're right, what the fuck do we do.

>I know! We used to have a watch called the Marine. How about we take that little 35mm watch, blow it up in size, make it out of steel, and add a rubber strap!
>Brilliant! Do it!

>>17660761
>>17660770
The current version is even worse.
>those indices

I have no idea who buy that shit.

rolex bros, i dont feel so good. can someone blue pill me

>>17660776
>I have no idea who buy that shit.

If you can't afford a Nautilus,
If you can't wait for a Royal Oak or an Overseas,
If you can't source an Odysseus or Antarctique,
If you don't want something as derivative and downmarket as a Polo,
then the Breguet Marine is for you.

>>17660777

Why do Rolex watches attract the shittiest of owners?

>>17660777
White people will always rewrite history in favor of whoever they think should have gotten the credit, hence why it's always "the sherpas" whereas the white guy, who barely lifted a finger, gets his full name spelled out

>>17660698
I don't have time for this.

How does Frederique Constant ranks compared tp Seiko, Orient and similar brands on one hand and entry level luxury like Omega and Tudor on the other hand?

>>17660881
Seiko, Orient and similar brands are on one side and entry level luxury like Omega and Tudor are on the other side, so it's somewhere in between.

>>17660107
How well do those pvd coated watches hold up over time?
>>17660127
The seiko. Tried the prx on and it was a massive disappointment driven by social media hype.

>order a Casio A1000MB because I like the looks of it
>have to order from Bongland since it isn't available here
>watch finally arrives
>mesh bracelet is all twisted
Fuck my life. Yes, I've sent it back, but now I have trust issues. I couldn't ask for a replacement but only for a refund.
Couldn't even find a genuine bracelet for under 50€. No, shit from Aliexpress won't do.
The screen is as bad as what people say, btw.

Why do you need more?

>>17660899
Because resin is trash.

>>17660896
It's a nice looking watch, but yeah, I'd never get a reverse LCD Casio.

>>17660907
I just want a square digital watch with a reverse LCD screen that isn't ass. Seems like it's hard to come by.

yay or nay?

>>17660959
can't say I like the fuel gauge

>>17660202
If you take a casio then it is. They're the only brand who's water resistance actually is what it says on the dial.

>>17660959
What a fucking mess...

>>17660915
If you want a negative display with good viewing angles you have to get one with an STN or MIP display. Casio mainly reserves that tech for their G-Shock line which I'm guessing you're trying to avoid.

>>17660968
>They're the only brand who's water resistance actually is what it says on the dial.
Anything with Master Chronometer on the dial (so far just Omega and Tudor) is guaranteed to have been tested to its stated water resistance. (Every single watch, not just a random sampling.)
Water resistance testing is part of JLC's 1000 Hours Control process.

>>17660777
>"English Air"
That's one of the best insults I have ever heard. Destroyed by sherpas.

>>17660976
>G-Shock line which I'm guessing you're trying to avoid
Yeah, they're too bulky and not dress-y enough for my taste.

>>17660959
What grade of gas does it use?

Picked up a casio world time "royale" at shartmart. Holy shit this module is way better than my g shock square dw5600, you can go back and forward for time and you can set 5 alarms in addition to all the other functions the g shock module has. Base square g shock module kinda sucks compared to it, also best world time this side of 10k

>>17660997
Shame it's a poorfag kid's toy watch, wish there was something with the same functionality from a real brand with real features, even if it was a Casio Mudmaster or some shit it would be better than this since those at least have a purpose in an adult man's life.

>>17661000
Waste of trips. You're an autist so you don't count as an adult man.

>>17660899
Because I'm not a kid or a pleb.

>>17661039
Why?

>>17661053
Because they're being sponsored by Grand Soiko.

>>17660169
At that point, an unopened Legends booster should never be opened.

>>17660732
That’s sweet anon :) seikos are based

>>17660744
Oh yes, a watch for a proper women.

>>17659580
what seiko is that ?

>>17660899
That toy watch looks so bad and cheap when paired with a leather jacket.
LOL
LMAO even

>>17660959
Clearly the crown wants to go live in another watch.

Sexo?

>>17661124
This is what the Rolex Explorer looks like to me

watches don't need numerals

>>17660340
Vegas is expensive as fuck. I'm not very wealthy but I wanted to go there just to see it. You gentlemen gave me an excellent recommendation for a Bulova precisionist that really helped me out. I stayed in the Mandalay Bay, gambled a little, paid to hit the slide at the Golden nugget, saw a show called absinthe, hit the dispensary and went dancing with my wife. I can't even imagine how awesome of a time it could've been if I was rich and young.

>>17661132
They need no numerals, no hands, no dial?
>What time is it?
>Fuck you that's the time.

>>17660694
BASED
heres my investment portfolio

>>176611232
Agreed, I only own one watch with numerals

>>17661158
Nice replicas

>>17660179
i think it looks great in person

Any reason not to buy this? I'm between this and prx chrono right now.

>>17661188
This is pretty close to my perfect watch with a reasonable price, a good copium Heuer Carrera but why oh why is the case so fucking thick even on the handwound version?

>>17661188
chronos are pretty mid compared to a standard dive bezel, but go for it if you're actually into chronos.

>>17661199
>Heuer Carrera
disgusting

I tried on the new BB36 today and it fit like a bloody glove on my babby wrist, sadly my shitty AD only has the gemset dials and the two-tone though. But if I have to waitlist for a fucking Tudor, I might as well hold out for a Datejust then (or an OP or Explorer), right?

What’s going with Vostok these days? I remember looking into them when I was in high school, and you had to buy through randos on ebay.
Now there are like 500 different lines and models, and “official stores”.
Are any of the supposed official stores legit? And what’s going on with all these different product lines?
Probably gonna just buy a San Martin or some other aliX micro brand anyway, but I was curious.

>>17661124
Really cool

>>17661218
>gemset dials
Gross
I'm curious what kind of person wears shit like that.

>>17661199
Seagull 1963 panda variants do it better at 13.5mm thickness. It even comes in 38mm with 47mm lug to lug.

>>17661267
Women I presume

>>17661267
It’s a cultural thing. Gems are almost never worn by men in the west (outside of perhaps professional athletes and musicians) but it’s very common in the Middle East and Africa.

>>17661188
If you're blowing over 2k you might as well get something with a column wheel like any Breitling with a b01.

>>17661278
>it’s very common in the Middle East and Africa
Ah so it's a monkey brain thing.

>>17660698
Richard Mille

>>17659589
I was born in the 80's, anything after 1990 is modern to me. I think it's also more or less the year rolex phased out acrylic and every nice watch ever since has basically been sapphire so that's modern I guess.

>>17661283
its so busy though

>>17660314
Have you tried unscrewing/moving the screw closest to the crown? That's how most mechanical watches work for holding the crown in.

>>17660433
The braun wrist watch

>>17661322
There's the premier b01 if you just want two sub dials.

>>17660744
Also, daily reminder no one gives a shit about what watch you wear or clothing in general if you're a fatass.

Between this Sub and the Datejust which should I pick for my first Rolex?

>>17660899
I want Casio to make a no frills steel-cased LCD watch that looks like the A158 or A168. Not an overpriced A1000 with mother of pearl or a bulky and gaudy G-Shock.

>>17661367
Just get an armitron

>>17661364
you can get a new datejust for that money lol

>>17661364
White dial Datejusts are soft as shite, pay less or get the Sub.

>>17661322
>its so busy though

>>17661364
Explorer ii

are gmt watches out of reach for us poorfags

>>17661371
This just brings up more questions on why Casio can't seem to do it since both Timex and Armitron have released steel-cased LCD digital watches.

>>17661317
At this point, watches are just men's jewelry. You're just in denial, anon.

>>17661384
True gmts yes (if you don't want Tudor)
Caller gmts no

>>17661384

>>17661390
>50m water resist
Why

>>17661393
So it can resist up to 50m of water.

>>17661394
Why not more for a sports watch

>>17661396
because 50m is plenty for most sports that I know of

>>17661399
Except anything with water involved

>>17661400
You've never been deeper than 10m and you never will.
