First for quartzchads, mechanicucks on suicide watch

Guy in the last thread posted a wrist check

>his watch doesn't have 4 chronographs
Why even live?

>>17665426
Holy fuck you a dense. That sentence doesn't mean anything. How is a 5600 more consistent style wise? This sentence means absolutely nothing without additional context. How is it more consistent? A square is a square, a 5610 doesn't suddenly look like a 6900. Fucking moron.

>>17665400
>They either willfully ignore or are unaware that Mort has admitted that he doesn't have a lot of friends.
Ok he can pay for me to be his friend then. Why the fuck would anyone be a rich retard's friend for free?

>>17665432
It has a more consistent style and its consistency is consistently stylish.

>>17665435
>rich retard
A the deranged poorfag has made his appearance. If rich retards are so retarded, what does that make you if you're poor?

>>17665442

Is there a Cartier Coupe, Cabriolet and SUV as well?

>>17665446
The nipple crown ruins it. Doesn't fit the case style

>>17665443

>>17665452

>>17665435
What is it that makes you seethe so much?

Why aren't diamond casebacks a thing?

Thinking about selling my Rolex 114270 and buying a Cartier Santos. Thoughts?

Was thinking about a Tank but Santos would fit me better.

>>17665423
>IS THAT A NEW PRX????

>>17665462
Better question is why haven't we seen a diamond crystal.

>>17665462
Yeah, put the most valuable adornment on the watch on the side nobody will ever see. That's a good idea.

>>17665464
Do it. The explorer is a horribly boring watch with zero personality.

>>17665466
Case, bracelet and movement as well.

>>17665471

>>17665427
Casio chads on duty.

Sup?

I'm writing it once again, though I'm sure it will fall in deaf ears. My real-life friends, the ones I grew up with, don't have the means to lead a life of extravagant luxury like high-end watchmaking. I love them and I am not going to offend them by talking about these things with them. That's why I come here to talk about watches. Plus, I come to 4chan since high school.

Also, I only occasionally upload my photos, and many others times I discuss the topics in more depth, but without identifying myself, to facilitate the conversation and avoid the trolls.

There are some very good people here, with whom I occasionally have the opportunity to have interesting talks. I simply ignore the haters, because I don't have time to entertain their sad retarded delusions, their jealousy or seething.

>>17665516
I'll try my best, friend. All the history of recognition in the world is not going to change one single issue: why are you thinking about selling the Rolex? In some way, or another, you probably aren't happy with it, and in that case you only have a choice: sell it and buy something else with which you'll be happier. I myself like Tank better, but it's not about me, but about you. Try the Santos, and if you still are unsatisfied, you can always try again.
The first and most important thing about watches is the enjoyment we owners should get of them.

Fucking delusion. They're not your friends, bro. They're just guys you went to school with. You're so fucking pitiful.

>>17665521
I am -thankfully- a fairly successful lawyer, but my friends didn't studied careers that have a connection to what I do, so I don't have many options to help them.

>>17665525

This is the truth. Once you reach adulthood, you cannot be friends with people who are miles richer or miles poorer than you. There's always that gap. Someone's always going to feel like they're being flexed-on.
>Sam Adams? Ooh, Mr. Fancy! Too good for Bud Light?

Even in my circle, where we're all at the same economic level, there's slight friction between people with kids and without, like
>No, my wife and I can't just go on vacation whenever. Our kids aren't old enough to take care of themselves.

Trolling aside, that watch is absolute perfection imho and my ultimate time grail
Fuck you

Thoughts on black or white dial for coke or pepsi GMT watch?

I saw this pic of a vintage Pepsi GMT-master with a white dial, and I’m kinda shocked how much I like the look compared to the standard color.
I also really like the shade of blue being darker than the modern GMTs, the new ones are weirdly bright under some light. Makes me appreciate the coke bezel more, as well.

I can’t afford any Rolexes, to be perfectly honest, but I’m thinking about trying to track down a micro brand watch with a similar color scheme.

>>17665500

>>17665423
Need a watch bro

>willing to spend anywhere from 10€ to 50€
>typical diver watch like submariner with either black, green or blue bezel. alternatively any pilot watch
>doesn't matter

>wrist size 16,5cm, would a 40mm to 42mm fit me well?

>>17665606
>>willing to spend anywhere from 10€ to 50€
LOL?????????

>>17665464
Santos has been a trend lately. I hate trends. On the other hand, the Explorer 1 is one of the most refined and exquisite watches ever made. Only the pleb find it boring. I would not do it. By the way, Santos Dumont is the patrician choice.

Which leather strap color for a stainless steel case, white dial dress watch?
Most of the time it's sold with a black one but I'm not a fan of that

What is the optimal watch for doing cocaine off of?

>>17665513
Thread completely mogged.
See you next thread assholes.

>>17665606
>10€ to 50€

You're looking for a Timex Expedition.

>>17665610
>Explorer 1 is one of the most refined and exquisite watches ever made
There's nothing refined about it, it's a copy paste Rolex with a dial for 12 year olds and loser like you with no personality. You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded.
>>17665626
Shut up faggot

Where the fuck can I find a white dial for my dw6100 and a clear bezel? This goes so hard.

>>17665513

Office vs Flyer GMT movement:
Obviously, the office movements are cheaper.
Aside from price, are there qualities or features of an office GMT movement that would make it better or more convenient than the flyer?
I would actually get utility from tracking two time zones on a semi-regular basis, but I don’t fly overseas super often.

>>17665606

>>17665655
nice lgxige bro

>>17665633
It's true, anon, the Explorer is boring. I need a fun girly watch designed by Gerald Genta. I want a Nautilus... no... now I want a Royal Oak... no... trend? Santos is the best... Santos is effay. I need a Santos.

for me this is the only watch i need

>>17665663
Were you trying to be funny here?

>>17665688
what's going on with the date window?

Mr. Squarefag, if I could have your expert opinion. Are screen protectors for e.g. GW-5000 reasonable a precaution as they are on cellphone screens? I'm referring to the either tempered or silicone-topped kinds for resisting scratches or mild strikes (such as against a stucco wall).

Asking because I recently got myself exactly that watch and an ali Ti kit, and I'm feeling an urge to baby an especially durable watch.

>3.You will not post any of the following outside of /b/:
>Troll posts
I wasn't trolling, I was dead serious.

>>17665617

>>17665700
Not him but I put a protector on sll my gshocks. It's a watch you're going to abuse the shit out off in theory, why wouldn't you take an extra step to give the screen a bit of extra protection? This way you'll make sure if you do scratch up the screen you can replace the protector and it won't affect the legibility of the watch.

>>17665654
>are there qualities or features of an office GMT movement that would make it better or more convenient than the flyer?
The office GMT usually retains the quickset date. Flyer GMTs do not. (With an office GMT, when the crown is in the mid-way position, turning one way adjusts the date, the other way adjusts the 24-hour hand. With a flyer GMT, you can adjust the local timezone forwards and backwards.)
If you have to change the date on a flyer GMT, you have to advance the movement 24 hours manually.

The office GMT is useful if you want to know what time it is somewhere else while staying home. e.g. You're in New York, you do business with LA, so you set the 24 hour hand to LA time and you don't have to worry about scheduling morning meetings when all the West Coast guys are asleep.

>>17665617
A mirror watch of some sorts.

There is a white Pepsi San Martin, for your budget. I have built MM200-inspired mod with this color scheme, but with a brighter bezel.

Not very good ones, tho.
I was visiting a friend in Mexico last week and grabbed a couple of my watches with me. She took me to see some archaeological destinations. Here's my Tudor bronze in front of one of Teotihuacan's pyramids.

Norm for first watch?

>>17665761
Don't be so orange.

>>17665751
LMAO where are your knuckles?

will picrel attract women or gay men. I want the former

>>17665786
Neither.
Women don't care about watches. Gay men won't come onto you unless you go to a gay club or something.

>>17665805
Except Apple and Rolex*

>>17665786
That bezel is so plain. I wish it still rotated and had minute increments like the old version.

>>17665710
Right on, keeping the date quickset could be pretty handy.
And yeah, my use case would be very much what you described. I’d like to be able to track a second time, but I most likely wouldn’t need to be updating my local time super often.
I know there’s a new cheap Miyota movement that’s a flyer, but based on the points you made, I don’t think I need to worry about it much one way or the other.
That’ll make shopping around a lot easier.
Thanks anon!

>>17665806
>Except Apple and Rolex*
Women don't actually care about those either.
An Apple watch is a mundane accessory. Everyone has one. That's like saying women care about your shoelaces or your undershirt.

Women know Rolex in that it's the only watch brand they really know. When a woman catches you trying to show off your watch and she wants to continue the conversation, she'll pick up on your cue and ask "Nice watch, is it a Rolex?" because that's honestly the only question she knows to ask.

>>17665606
The addiesdive i posted in the last thread seems perfect for you

>>17665823
Women know cartier as well because Cartier makes jewelry, so it's a good watch to impress them

>>17665617
You should be doing coke off a girl's asshole like a man.

>>17665741
Yeah, I’d never really considered the white dial before, but it’s really growing on me now that I’ve actually seen one.
You’re not wrong that there are very few options haha, there’s a vintage Rolex style San Martin, one variant that’s no-date with faux aged lume, one with a date and applied markers, and a second San Martin model in the style of the Tudor Black Bay.
Also the Lorier Hyperion Skyward in picrel, but I’m not sure how available those are second hand. It is apparently super thin, which would be cool as far as wearing daily with a variety of outfits.
Not sure how serviceable the Soprod movement in the Lorier is, but it’s probably better than whatever is the San Martin haha

>>17665500

>>17665700
I don't know who that is but the only people I know who use screen protectors do it because they want to keep their watch mint for either collecting, resale, or they are frugal. The bezel on a G-Shock protect the screen very well. I don't use screen protectors but I did get a tiny dent on a glass once when I lend out a watch and it ruined it for me. I ended up gifting it, same with a vintage watch I bought with a scrape on the side of the glass. It depends on your tolerance for scratches but they are rare on a g-shock. I think they ruin the aesthetic but if that's a concern for you I would do it.

Sure they do. Colorful bezels, luxury metals. Diamonds, different dials. The explorer just looks like a dweeb compared to the rest and is laughable in two tone.

I too find the Speedy marketing cringy , but I'm going to play devil's advocate and argue that it's not REALLY Omega's fault, but history. You see, there's always another triumph to celebrate, another winner, a deeper mark, a higher altitude, a shorter time, and each and every time a watch participates in something, a brand has the opportunity to brag about it, but nobody else has made it to the moon in 50 years, and obviously no other watch has gone to the moon as well, so the achivement is still unbeaten and relevant.
Until another watch goes to the moon (Bulova stupidly sat on the marketing opportunity until nobody cared anymore), Omega is going to market the fuck out of the Speedy.

I hope either the 55th in 2 years or the 60th in 7. The snoopy speedmasters have been so successful i'd be surprised if they skip the 55th anniversay though. The 50th Anniversary Snoopy is the best out of the 3 they've made so far, so I have high hopes for their next one. Still surprised how hard it is to get one though, the boutiques i've gone to have straight up said that they wouldn't put my name down unless I've spent at least 25 grand.

>>17666248
The base version is the best, but they do put out good designs every so often. The caseback movement for the snoopy is golden.

I don't know which contacts to do that with, but I've also never had to do it on any gshock I've had before even though it says to do it.

Anything other than the module you should be able to drop in soapy water and brush it clean. Anything that fall apart with water and soap was not going to survive. Isopropyl is only for circuitboards as far as I know. I used it on hard plastic once and regretted it. Make sure you dry the parts that house the module very well. Grease the gasket but you should be replacing it by now.

I'm not an expert I'm just going by what I've seen. I've only done like 1 battery change.

>>17666332
I've found a replacement for all the parts that will eventually rot so I will replace all the soft resin bits. Part of me wants to get them all clear like the bezel I'm getting for my dw6100, which came in the same junk lot of casios I got the dw002 from to make it a theme. Part of me wants to give it a white front bezel with red accent wing. Since you helped me I want to ask what would you choose as the replacements parts for this thing. I have to make my order tomorrow so I have to make up my mind. Here are the links to the spare parts I'm looking at.

If anyone else has suggestions I'm open to them

>>17666292
That’s awesome, are there any other small haq watches but without the dolce text?

>>17666340
I am cackling

>>17666319
Can't. Too incompetent to not achive something accidentaly.

>>17666350
perfect.

Got this watch left to me. Styling tips for a watch like this? Never been a watch guy. Thinking of going with a brown leather strap

>>17666353
You don't like that bracelet? Leathers always good, give a check to shell cordovans or croc leather. nice, dressy and clean

>>17666353
>Thinking of going with a brown leather strap
worst possible option you could have chosen, nice

I actually hate these, does anyone else find these mad ugly

>>17666357
I love the Monaco for how unusual it is but I hate all the modern iterations of it. None of them do it right.

>>17666354
Neat thanks bud

>>17666357
I'd love it if it weren't so goddamn thick

is it one of those threads where we post old wrists, lol?

kek, fuck them.

>>17665513
nice watch bro

What do you guys think of those. Looks good quality and seems to be accurate af. Time only tho.

>>17666254
It looks so simple, in a good way.

>>17666322
kek

>>17666347
SACM151, if you can find one. Picrel is my 33mm cheap Seiko with a silver dial.

>>17666416
It's like a small pebble.

>>17665823
>"Nice watch, is it a Rolex?"
ackshually it's an ohmeegurr like james bond haaar haar
n-no.. wait! don't leave! ohmegur are close to almost just as good as rolex! no I'm not a "coper", wait REEEEEEEEEE

>>17665751
Did you ever feel unsafe wearing expensive watches there?

>>17665823
>Women know Rolex in that it's the only watch brand they really know. When a woman catches you trying to show off your watch and she wants to continue the conversation, she'll pick up on your cue and ask "Nice watch, is it a Rolex?"

Then they let you touch their boobsies! They feel like bags of sand.

>>17666134
You deserve to be added to pic related.

>>17666134
just a little bit of lotion before the night, god damn man...

>>17666466
how is someone's wrist too small for a Nomos?

brehs... i gonna coom.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh7Ck71UAGk

Got a used watch and there's a smudge on the inside of the crystal.
Would a watchmaker laugh at me for taking in a watch for smudge removal? I don't want to risk doing it myself.

>>17666489
No, just take it to a watchmaker.

>>17666466
God I fucking hate fat people. Look at the state of that guy in the (presumably) truck. It's like he has claws.

>>17666489
Why would he? You're actually giving him your business. Take it to the watchmaker and DON'T try to fix it yourself.

>>17666481
I certainly hope than some of those pics are photoshopped.

is there a quality version of picrel? i love the design but after 3 months it's scratched and the band is broken. all the gold casios I've seen are ugly

>>17666404
>Looks good quality and seems to be accurate af. Time only tho.

You need to press the button to activate the display and see the time. If i wanted that i'd be wearing a smart watch.

>>17666032
>What are some premium quartz watches?
The only premium quartz is spring drive.
Sorry but the 1 step seconds are inherently cheap looking. Spring drive tho beats the mechanics at it's own smooth seconds game.

>>17666510
maybe this?

>>17666522
whats a good spring drive model?

>>17666522
You have no idea what you're talking about, 9F is 2 steps per second, also you can get a slow sweep quartz watch off amazon for $100 now

>>17666529
None because they're all xbox huge, soiko markets spring drive to crass arab/russian types who need a watch the size of a hockey puck to feel like people will notice them, the only good grand soikos are hand wind and quartz

>>17666525
that was all i could come up with too but they look shocking on the wrist. love the autism though. picrel is closest so far but not quite there

Can someone please legit check these? When I try to google the model it gives either reps or different styles.

>>17666347
it's a cute word and brings balance to the dial, but the only one I think is available brand new without the dolce branding is the gold counterpart, SACM150

>>17666539
Legit check what exactly? I can guarantee that it is a genuine SLAA (never heard of it) shitter, top china quality number one.

>>17666484
For me it's the gold one with the green map and the matt silver one with the white face plate.

>>17666544
Fucking kek

>>17666544
It is marketed as soviet vintage Slava skeleton.

>>17666551
Lmao no.

>>17666519
No, the time is always visible, you press only if you want light. Hamilton fixed that, it has both LCD and LED arranged in a quite clever way.

>>17666551
How retarded do you have to be to believe this? You really think that logo is vintage anything?

>>17666522
Jumping or "true seconds" used to be a valuable complication. Jeez.

>>17666560
Yes, "used to". That all changed when the seikonation attacked.

>>17666560
Somebody should do a jumping seconds with two jumps forward and one back for each second.

>>17666569
That's an incredibly retarded idea

>>17666557
I’m not too knowledgeable, maybe that’s some sort of retro futuristic font

>>17666574
That skeleton watch is 100% china crap. You act like you're incapable of using google.

>>17666481
>how is someone's wrist too small for a Nomos?
NOMOS have big lugs and you know that!!! Stop wrist-shaming people.

>>17666560
I still like this complication even if it’s retarded. It’s soulful.

I went to the local Patek AD pretending to be in a financial position to afford a Calatrava with a pair of matching cufflinks and they were courteous enough to let me try a few models on.
Is it just me or the dials on the 6119 look like they're made out of cheap, thin plastic?
Because they sure look like it to me.
Also gold really shines, it's something worth seeing in the flesh.

>>17666572
I agree. How about three forward and two back?

how hard is it to make your own watch? (using an off the shelf movement). kinda not satisfied with any of the offerings right now

so I have to learn how to design and then use CAD software? then I would have to find enough people for a group buy so I could order a quantity a factory is willing to produce?

>>17666590
>how hard is it to make your own watch?
pretty easy

>>17666345
Good luck but I try to get official parts whenever possible. I like throwing in color once in a while but when it inevitably gets dirty it's nice to have the standard black resin to go back to.

>>17666590
step 1 design in ms paint
step 2 draw circle on paper
step 3 use scissors on paper
step 4 apply paper on wrist
step ???
profit

>>17666590
look at all the stupid microbrands that are getting shat out everywhere, there's your answer

the question is, are you really bringing anything new and useful to the market?

>3d print wax cast
>Investment cast
>Polish to high hell
>Buy off the shelf sapphire
>Ask steeldive to make you a custom face

>Or rent a ghetto apparmnet in Neuchâtel and say made in Switzerland
>Charge €666
micro brand game plan

>>17666625
>are you really bringing anything new and useful to the market?

I see something that is missing but I dont know if that's a sign of an opportunity or that no one wants it. i feel like 99.9% of watch designs suck but idk if that's just my personal autistic preferences rather than good taste and perfectionism

New 39mm Zulu time released. Shit all you want on long jeans they at least listen to the market

>>17666590
You'll be paying out the ass for not a lot of value. A lot of chink companies these days are making bog standard cases in whatever style you want, designed to fit a range of cheap movements. Total cost for a chink case? Like 30 bucks. If you get one made yourself in group buy bulk, it'll cost about 200-500 bucks a piece.

>>17666670
>ZULUL

>>17666646
It's not that no one wants it, it's that not enough people want it to be able to sell it with enough margin to make it worth the effort to make a whole new thing. Big companies like Swatch Group and Soiko and Invicta Watch Group have access to very good data from dealers, middlemen, forum shills, influencers, big data brokers, etc. The number of people who obsess over watch culture shit enough to want your obscure shit are not price sensitive enough to refuse to buy any watch that doesn't fit their parameters that is cheap enough to satisfy your broke ass. They either cough up the money for what the real thing goes for at market rate, or they compromise and buy whatever they can afford.

>>17666112
That's the dumbest fucking 9 I've ever seen in my entire life go kill yourself

>>17666134
I like your watch, anon. Sorry you are black.

>>17666685
What’s the second one?

>>17666404
co-worker wears one of these. imho it's so retro that you genuinely need to dress the part or just naturally give off that type of vibe, otherwise it looks really out of place.

it's like when someone tries to wear sleeze core without being sleezy if that makes sense.

>>17666134
You should lay off the colloidal silver my guy
Good taste though

sexo

>>17666720
Get some sun dadwatch

>>17666720

>>17666345
God bless the guys making all the replacement parts for old gshocks. It's nice to see old ones getting brought back to life

>>17666353
Keep it on the bracelet, wear it, it goes with basically anything

>>17666398
They make smaller ones, this is 37mm

>>17666586
I haven’t been able to see a 6119 in the flesh, my dealer doesn’t even have display models. However I’ve found most entry level Pateks very disappointing compared to cheaper Lange and Breguet models. The movement in the 6119 really rubs me the wrong way. The lack of internal angles makes it scream cost cutting to me. It sucks because I like the way they look, especially the white gold with grey dial variant but I’m not paying $35k + sucking AD cock for a movement that gets mogged by $20k watches.

Genuine question, who the fucking hell is buying these pieces of shit?

What watch do you guys wear to the golf course?

>>17666751
Found an even funnier one, red grape OP 39 (about £6750) very badly engraved/etched.

>>17666763
I wear this:
>>17666720

>>17666763

>>17666775
I feel like everyone else on the golf course would just look at you like a douchebag

>>17666775
That's actually a pretty cool complication, shame it's a Hublot.

>>17666779
You mean they don't normally? Aren't all golfers douchebags?

>>17666751
arabs and blacks

Watch ID?

>>17666764
Did the maker use a thumbtack to engrave this garbage?

>>17666764
Damn, someone out there is giving watches prison tattoos.

>>17666796
>>17666779
Yeah sorry friend, all golfers are fucking douchebags

>>17665606
Casio Duro??? I'm not sure if there's anything else good in that price range, Invicta Pro Diver maybe

>>17666670
A great day for wristlets and therefore the world

>>17666618
I don't really care one way or another about oem parts. I've settled on making it white. Already have 2 black gshocks.
>>17666728
You said it, I just wish the parts were more accessible. I have to order all these parts from Malaysia for the 2 models I have and the shipping and handling will cost as much as the parts.
>>17666801
Elektronika

>>17666510
Timex makes a new T80 with a stainless case that comes in gold tone.

ordered this with a black nato strap apart from the steel one, what other strap should I get to make it more versatile. It's my only watch

I was thinking about leather

>>17666280
Some computer failed and they needed to use the Sneedy to time the duration of thrusters firing before switching them off so they'd be in trajectory.

So yes without a dependable chronograph they'd be dead.

>>17666764
god, that looks horrid for professional engraving

>>17666862
There's no way a professional did that.

>>17666854
Leather is a bit of a faux pas with a diver. Since you got a turtle I would go the apocalypse now route and get the captain willard chocolate bar tropic band.

>>17666868
thanks anon, that's a nice strap, I'm also a fan of "Apocalypse Now". Love that seiko too.

Looks like a cereal box watch.
