Watches are uncomfortable, they make my wrist sweaty and I can't relax my arm sometimes.

>>17673874

After thinking hard about it, they're selling this Prospex line solely on the power reserve, since 6r64 would've been the better movement to use for this series, but they already use that on the hybrid Presage/Prospex line so it's either they cornered themselves or if that one Anon is right, they're using Orient to take over the budget diver niche that used to belong to the Seiko 5 as the Seiko 5 moves up to the Prospex's former price point.

>>17673894
Canvas or nylon straps are a lot more comfortable than bracelets, titanium is very light and confortable, digital casios are SUPER light.

Automatic mechanics are actually very heavy.

>>17673899
>titanium is very light and confortable

Getting a Ti watch soon to serve as a beater and this is good to hear, I knew about the weight difference but didn't know about the comfortability of it.

Just get a Rolex and be done with watches once and for all.

If it's a quartz you're going to be amazed at how light it is.

>>17673905
Titanium has a lot of advantages, but you have to like the light grey color of that metal, and it's generally not as polished as steel. Lots of people prefer the color and the weight of steel bracelets.

>>17673919
>Good of him to show that Omega actually makes good looking watches
lol no
It's one of those watches that could have been made by any company from the Swatch group. They could put the Longines or Rado logo on it and nobody would have noticed.

>>17673941
Imagine it in black PVD.

>>17673883
Did he get any of the watches back? Or at least the insurance?

>>17673941
I have the watch in your picture and originally I liked that it's not as shiny I think that I should have chosen the steel version

>>17673941
>but you have to like the light grey color of that metal

As long as it's not a scratch magnet like PVD, I'm happy.

Never going to buy pvd shit ever.

is this a good watch?

I feel like steel is the most basic default material.
A watch isn't cool for being steel, I'm eating right now and the fork is steel, you get the cool special points for being anything other than steel, black PVD, ceramic, titanium, carbon fiber they all make your watch look different and special. SS just makes your watch look like a fork.

Also why the fuck isn't silver a thing? Silver irl looks incredible, it's so white it looks like it's glowing next to anything else. Where are the silver watches?

>>17673983
>As long as it's not a scratch magnet like PVD, I'm happy.

Titanium is actually somewhat softer than steel and scratches more easily.

It's NH35, unfortunately, but I can live with that since it's already the designated beater.

It's gonna be fun at parties and raves, at least. Already got a matching lume strap for it thanks to that one Anon a few threads ago who pointed out to me that they exist.

>>17673995
Fuck me, I thought its strength over 316L SS was due to being as durable as SS but not as heavy.

Does this look bad for a 5 years old watch?

>>17674006
Try it regardless.

My dad's titanium Tissot looks all dull from scratches and has some gouges on it that look like it's back from war but man, it wears like nothing else.
The watch and the entire bracelet being titanium it wears amazing.

>>17673995
I think it depends on which grade it is.

>>17674008
Sounds pretty retarded to me

>>17673993
I think bronze has a lot of potential. Some people even let their bronze watch sleep one night in salt water to give it patina. The more it will age, the better it will look.

Wood is pretty cool too.

>>17674040
I'm not sure how I feel about bronze watches. I'm happy for people who get a patina on them that they like but I'd think it must be difficult to make them look right for your strap and your outfit and for the occasion. Like in the case of the picture, we have a watch that looks like it spent 100 years on the bottom of the ocean on a fairly new minimally distressed nylon strap. What do you wear this with, and where do you wear it? If you're taking a boat out into the bay that could be pretty cool. But what if you're going to dinner or going to the supermarket and you kinda just look like you're wearing a busted ass watch? It doesn't even look like an heirloom really.

>>17674052
Steampunk look.

>>17674040
>I think bronze has a lot of potential. Some people even let their bronze watch sleep one night in salt water to give it patina. The more it will age, the better it will look.
ESL retardation.

>>17674061
Oh and replace the nylon strap by a leather one of course.

Bronze smells terrible and makes your skin stink

What people don't understand about the black PVD is that it actually is highly scratch resistant.

It's a very high hardness coating that wouldn't be scratched by wiping it with a cloth that has a speck of dust on it, or sand or you know whatever actually gets things scratched.

You can however score it if you impact it on something hard strongly enough and that will expose the steel underneath making it super visible.

But as far as the scratches go?
The coating is almost as hard as sapphire.

>MyPanerai.jpg

Thoughts on my new Patek? Keep in mind it costs more than your house.

>>17674076
>Bronze smells terrible and makes your skin stink
true, but if you're in a non-deodorant wearing culture...who the fuck can tell?

I mean, >>17674074 smells like a fishmonger's wife's asshole. How could you possibly determine that it's the watch that smells?

>>17674085
Keep seething poorfag. You will never patinate.

>>17674074
>Why yes, I am actually shopping for the salvage from Titanic

Fake patina is fake.

>>17674003
>300m Diver
>parties and raves

>>17673930
He’s making self-help videos about depression, loneliness, losing friends and having a stagnant career now and his view counts sunk to the low hundreds.

He got some nice watches again though some of which he claims his fans gifted to him.

>>17674040
>Wood is pretty cool too.
The worst material to make a watch.

>>17674109
He’s literally wearing a Seiko 5 in the picture.

>>17674128
>He's literally in a movie made by a woman
It's like you've not even read the book.

>>17673985
I like them, but it's probably pussy kryptonite.

>>17674109
>In the novel he was wearing a DD. Dunno why they cheaped out when filming the film.
In the novel it is not specified which model he is wearing, it is only described as a gold Rolex at the end. By the way, at the end of the novel a taxi driver steals Patrick's Rolex.

>>17674143
>Dunno why they cheaped out when filming the film.
Rolex said they didn't want their watches being worn by a maniac murderer.

>>17674147
>Rolex said they didn't want their watches being worn by a maniac murderer.
Well in real life a lot of dictators wear Rolexes, in fact I wear one now

>>17674109
>Dunno why they cheaped out when filming the film.
Rolex didnt allow it

With Rolex you get this yuppie look, it's what a lot of people hate about Rolex, I like it.

>>17674151
I never thought about it but that's a good point. Maybe if they cared that much about the morality of people who wore their watches they wouldn't sell them to evil regimes and corporate figureheads?

>>17674172
Rolex has advertised the Submariner with a controversial figure like Che Guevara.

>>17674173
42mm

>>17674186
I do, although it is not my favorite Rolex.
Anyway, For the Bateman aesthetic, a gold DD or DJ is better.

>>17674192
It's actually insane.

>When Che Guevara was killed on October 9th, 1967, CIA operative Félix Rodríguez removed Guevara’s Rolex GMT-Master from the wrist of his corpse; the watch remains in his possession to this day.

Guevara and Castro were given rolex watches by rolex themselves I think.
Castro wore two at once: DD and a GMT Master.'
It would be the equivalent today of Casio gifting G-Shocks or Garmin/Suunto gifting whatever to I dunno, fucking Osama or something.

Speaking of communists wearing Rolex, here's Gorbachev with a two-tone Datejust.

What watch is Kojima wearing

>>17674217
Why don't they ever get shit over this? Do Rolex customers know Rolex supported a regime that would line them up against a wall, shoot them and take their property?

>>17674220
Gorbachev was the traitor plant who crashed the union. Ofcourse the west would give him a shiny toy to go with his nobel peace prize and the star role in pizza hut commercial.

You wouldn't see Stalin wearing one.

Any other controversial watches? Pic related is a Saddam Hussein Patek Philippe.

>>17674221
Looks like his branded seiko astron which is gay as fuck for a hack game dev

is this too dressy to be a gada?

Lenin wore an H. Moser & Cie pocket watch.

>>17674224
Nope. Entirely glossed over. There was a romanticism for the "underdog" revolutionary vs the big bad US empire, hence why they were given the watches at all. Rolex saw it as trendy PR like how every globohomo company garbs itself in troonbows today.

>>17674234

>>17674234
Moser of old Imperial Russia then and the "Moser" of today are entirely different entities.
Fucking phoenix brands trying to cash in on fabricated heritage.
>Lange

An argument could be made against breguet as they're an uninterrupted brand either, but I suppose being part of swatch is enough of a red flag that no case need be made.

>>17674240
To be honest I doubt their customers care. Everyone knows the brands were revived. Everyone also knows that both Lange and Moser make better and more interesting watches than 99% of the industry.

>>17674229
I like the astron line

>>17673883
Oh good, another wrist fedora thread

>>17674242
>Everyone knows the brands were revived.
no, you know
most people even in the market for this shit don't
>they don't care
right
but if they did know they probably would care
there's a tiny minority that know and don't care, but my point is if these facts about say lange were more widely known there'd be perhaps a little more hesitancy, maybe not a lot, but it might sway some buyers hence the need for an artificial mystique
that goes for the whole swiss industry these days anyway so i guess it's a moot point
built upon a mountain of rarefied air and bullshit

>>17674254
i own a lange and don't care. how has that storied heritage worked out for vacheron and audemars piguet? if you're being honest, you'll say not very well.

Even accounting for AP basically only existing for one damned line, probably pretty well?
VC is still around. How many watch brands have come and gone since 1755? All you could hold against them is that they don't have a single standout model that's become a fad, but that's not a matter of
>muh heritage
If there's anything you know about VC that indicates that they're doing badly I'd be interested to hear it as I'm interested in one of their models.
>>17674269
I agree with all of this, but as

I don’t mean hype. I mean something you would buy and wear. There is literally nothing in their current catalog I would purchase. The Patrimony needs an update, the traditionelle has weird proportions and the Overseas needs to be taken out back and shot.

Yeah, and? Explain why having a sloppy fitting band where your watch slides back and forth is good and makes you a tough guy.

>>17674353
Have you ever tried it? There's no sliding. It's not that he's a tough guy for having a too-small strap. It's that you're a fruitcake for getting upset over it.

>>17674344
I see you still have not recovered from getting anally annihilated by the based Datograph. Maybe in 3 more decades the Swiss will come up with something that can compete.

>>17674359
Lmao. Swiss manufacturer makes cases for datograph. Care to guess which one?

>>17674365
>M-MUH CASE MAKER
pathetic cope. Swiss damage control is in full swing now

>>17674342
Because In the 1960s everything was "good enough" with no brand placement (Rolex declined to provide a watch for the early films). Bond wears a sub in the first two films on a leather strap, and then in Goldfinger that scene requires him to be shown wearing the watch in a wetsuit and then a tuxedo, that wasn't possible with a leather strap so they likely just searched for something to do the job and the ill fitting nylon strap (it's not a NATO) was good enough, even if it didn't fit the watch.

Rolex are the original sports watches, basically the original g-shock. He's wearing it because it's a tough and a waterproof watch.

>>17674342
No nato was made in those days to fit that watch.
Or, the watch belonged to the producer who loaned it for filming one day when they were in sudden need and the adjusted bracelet didn't fit Connery so they scrounged for a quick and easy replacement they knew nobody watching the film would give a shit about.
One or the other.
Little did they know that nearly 60 years later a totally not homosexual poster on the gayest board of a buttsexperience mailing list would catch their mistake and call them out on it in a stunning and never before exhibited example of acute cinematical observation.
tbf though I'm sure some tard has bought an undersized nato for their seamaster lmao

>>17674365
This is probably the worst argument I've ever heard considering Patek and VC and probably AP were all using Lemania movements in 1994 when the Datograph was introduced. There's really no getting around the fact that it mogged them so hard they had to go back to the drawing board and redesign their watches.

>>17674374
>>17674382
Lange isn't a watchmaker. It's just a movement maker. Everything else is outsourced including the history lol

>>17674375
>Rolex are the original sports watches, basically the original g-shock. He's wearing it because it's a tough and a waterproof watch.
I like James Bond movies, but some things are too unrealistic and break the immersion. For example, Bond using 200m resistance submariner when he dived to the party in "goldfinger". I was furious. Who the hell goes swimming, let alone diving without AT THE VERY LEAST 300m water resistance. It ruined the movie for me

>>17674384
So Vacheron wasn't a watchmaker until ~1996 when they started in-house movement production. So their history is fake too. Nice.

>>17674384
>Everything else is outsourced including the history lol

>>17674387
Their history is real, unlike the great german cope.
But in a time where every company of any note produces the majority of its product in-house the fact that schlange doesn't is kind of odd don't you think? Just movement.
It's not 1930 anymore where everyone is buying ebauches from lecoultre and getting cases made by company A and dials by company B.
What besides the finishing are you getting from schlange? Can that justify the price they charge?

Shill me a high quality rubber strap

I will post a watch collection and you tell me what kind of person would have it.

>>17674567
Whatever you do don't buy wone with curved ends that meets to the watch case, they look awful.
For diver straps isofrane and tropic straps are nice but a bit overpriced
https://www.isofrane.com
https://tropicstrap.com
For other straps anything made by Bonetto Cinturini is nice, the "zuludiver" straps on watch gecko are all by that factory
https://www.watchgecko.com/collections/italian-rubber-watch-straps
You can find em on plenty of other sites too
Also the $10 FKM rubber straps on aliexpress are way fucking nicer then thwy have any business being. Would recommend, there are 5-10 different designs if you look around

Third thread looking for a watch to match my vintage speedboat. I'm starting to think you guys don't even have boats. Why the fuck would you buy a watch if you don't own a boat? Makes no sense. On land you can just use your phone.

>>17674581
Here is a better selection
https://allwatchbands.com/collections/hirsch-performance-rubber-straps
>>17674567
Stay away from shilled shit like crafter blue, those are the same straps they are selling on aliepress for $10

>>17674567
Are rubber or canvas straps better for casual wear? I have a rubber fkm strap, nato (which I never use but fell for the reddit meme) and leather but I'm curious

What do you guys drive while you wear your rolex?
Since it is shilled so much I expect all the rolex owners here have some sort of exotic.
Ferrari as the minimum.

why isn't the w800 the default casio? it costs barely more than a f91w but lasts more than 3 months

>>17674266
checked

Kinda hard to show the subtle brushing of the dial.

>>17674151
where are you a dictator?

>>17674233
it's a sports watch and not a dress watch at all

>>17674498
Why would you want a lange over an actual, real watch from PP, VC, AP? Even JLC. Don't even have to purchase the latest offerings if you don't like them as with AP's modern dogshit as there's a century's worth of vintage models to choose from. Why are there no vintage lange watches to buy? All I can see are a few pocket watches with a similar name.

>>17674604

Steel Rolex aren't expensive watches by the way, ESPECIALLY if you consider they hold their value. Honestly if you're in 30s and can't afford to lose 10k you're pretty much a loser.

>>17674787
i like the lange 1 and aesthetic is my first criteria
>>17674818
>Honestly if you're in 30s and can't afford to lose 10k you're pretty much a loser.
this, except i should've bought the rolex instead of gambling on bitcoin futures

I own zero watches
I want to spend 1000$
Im open to splitting that up between 3 watches or just buying one or two.

What would you suggest for a no watch?
>one __ for 1000$
>two __ for 1000$
>three __ for 1000$

I would want one to be smaller and water resistant

>>17674823

>prx
>ray

>>17674823
My personal opinon would be get all bases covered, so :
- 2 watches : dress, sport/casual
or
- 3 watches : dress, sport/casual, gshock beater if you're an oudoors guy/ or just another watch that you like

>>17674796
I'm saying that it's not even close to dressy

>>17674827
>>17674828
can you guys link me something specific?
I dont want to spend 500$ on a shitty watch

>>17674760
>why isn't the w800 the default casio?
the f91w is the historic model from 1989 worn by Obama, Bin Laden, in movies and used as a bomb timer, the w800 is a modern thing.

>>17674845
>bomb timer
damn that's cool

>>17674839
More preferences:
dial color, metal color, bracelet or strap, functions etc.
If you have nothing go look at some watches, doesn't matter about the price, and report what you like.

>>17674855
>bomb timer
Casio should sell that with two ready2go wires already sticking out, just add explosives and set the alarm.

>>17674823
2 watches, one 1k watch is pretty meh desu, but two decent 500 dollar bois will be pretty good

voting for the prx 35mm as one of the watches

anyone had any experiences with the San Martins on the fly adjustment clasp? it's not universal, only fits select models and comes by default on even less models
from the pictures and couple of videos, it seems amazing, considering the fact that you can't get anything like that on under 1k watches, the clasp itself is like 40€
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLpmUqU
copped a ranger homage at 36mm for 165€, thinking about getting the clasp too, but I'll probably wait for the watch to arrive first

>>17674865
sry but that case will never not look like a loo to me

>>17674877

>>17674880

GA2100 in in white for $80, is that a good deal?

>>17674893

>>17674885

>>17674888

I hereby present to you the best watch ever made.
>pure and timeless design
>sturdy and reliable

Fair assesment, but I really like the dial.

>>17674787
>Even JLC
>puting jlc in the same tier as lange, let alone patek
Lmao

>>17674931
isnt JLC just Omega tier

>>17674934
Tier less id say. Omega is tier 3 on a good day, jlc is never above 4

>>17674934
If we're talking about price point, JLC is in the same category as Rolex. I don't have the data right now but the average purchase is around 10k for both these brands. Omega is way lower at around 5k.

You've read it here first : Fifty Fathoms 40mm by the end of the year.

>>17674965
How big was it now?

sexo...

>>17674975
>How big was it now?
45mm
Historically, it was 42mm

>>17674975
45mm

>>17674931
jlc is an actual watch manufacturer thorugh and through with over a century's track record
lange is a watch movement maker that was invented by some scheming, handrubbing merchant 30 years ago to capitalize on german reunification

What are some fun watches to buy under $200?
Could be from microbrands, regular brands, or even chinese bootlegs, as long as they look fun like this one >>17674003.
I really don't want to buy a swatch shitter, they feel too boring for me, nothing really going on for them.

>>17675035
fun, cheap, draws crowds.

>>17675035
Genuinely considering this abomination, as it kinda gives a synthwave look to me. The alternating bracelet is kinda goofy, but I heard they're comfy, and I hate how the trannyhomogays will probably think I'm supporting them.

>>17673883
which one for my 30th birthday???

>>17675058
Cartier, so you don't do your bollocks.

>>17675056
>I hate how the trannyhomogays will probably think I'm supporting them.
They'll probably think you're one of them. I mean, we all think so already.

>>17675058
I'd go Cartier, even though I love the AT, but the Santos is toooooo sexy, happy birthday m8

>>17675058
Buy the Cartier. I don't like the faux screws on the bracelet but it moggs the Omega and doesn't look like an obvious Rolex cope.

>>17675058
>>17675058

>>17675089
Why do people buy watches with dicks on them?

I wish the fakers would step in and make a better quality of this watch. Because the original is so terrible the bar was so low that they wouldn't even need to try hard. Just use good quality plastic and a good quartz movement.

>>17675084
Yes. Fuck them.

Nevermind the cost difference, what are the practical and functional differences between the daytona and the speedmaster? What would make someone prefer one over the other? Do the complications and subdials and controls work differently? Do the dimensions on one feel better to wear or operate compared to the other?

It appears my superiority has caused some controversy.

>>17674771
In the book, Paul Allen (Paul Owen) has a gold Rolex and a sports Heur

>>17675101
>What would make someone prefer one over the other?
The branding

>>17675092
Because they chopped theirs off.

>>17675101
>practical
majority of people who buy chronos don't even fucking use them to time shit, and when they do they just sync it to the seconds sundial

>>17675101
On the modern Daytona, the chronograph pushers are screwed down for water resistance meaning that if you want to use the chronograph you need to unscrew them. So basically if you actually need to use the chronograph function regularly, you don't want a Daytona. Or you could just leave them unscrewed all the time I guess.

>>17674927
Now imagine that watch with the Explorer numerals, keeping the crown at twelve. It could be a beautiful Air King.

>>17675112
I don't get why they don't do that. Imagine how insane the rolex fanboys would go if they could get an explorer in red or blue or whatever color they wanted.

This is the only reason to get a speedmaster so just don't get one.

>>17675127
You don't want a sapphire crystal shattering in space and floating around.

>>17675129
You don't want hesalite shattering and floating around either.

>>17675089
The only stat i'm interested in is the number of components in the end link, one doesn't cut it anymore in this day and age.

>>17675130
I don't even know how you could shatter hesalite. It's way softer so it will just scratch and deform.

>>17675133
Have you found a watch bracelet that uses multiple piece endlinks or are you still just shitposting?

>>17675119
I'm the biggest Rolex fanboy ITT and a colored dial Explorer would make me cringe.
The Explorer is a neo-vintage watch. The whole point of this watch is to keep the spirit of the 1016 alive.
A green dial Explorer is exactly something Omega would do. Disgusting and tasteless.

>>17675155
>A green dial Explorer is exactly something Omega would do. Disgusting and tasteless.
Yes, Rolex is the last bastion of subdued design and good taste.

>>17675155
you don't mind it being a two tone watch now? LMAO

>>17675155
Rolex should not change the original Explorer. They just have to do something like that, to recover the Air King aesthetic

>>17675159
I don't mind the two tone. Rolex has always used gold on their watches.
The 40mm on the other hand is disgusting.
>>17675158
I couldn't care less what Rolex does with the Day Date.

>>17674823
$1k is uncanny valley territory, keep it under $500 or spend at least $2k

>>17675158
I'm so glad Rolex is finally embracing pride. Great to see their customers represented.

>Fifty Fathoms 40mm by the end of the year.
They have made batches of 40mm ones a few times, one was a hoodinky exclusive

>>17675155
Yeah, but not even white or cream colors? The vintage versions were made in those colors too.

>>17675172
Same thing.

>>17675165
You can call it whatever you want and it will still be a non-black explorer as far as I'm concerned.

Which is a good thing.

>>17674823

1 black PVD seiko 5 on a nato strap.
2 some casual looking Tissot (or a Citizen, although they are all HUGE)

>>17675212
The design language on the santos is pretty confusing, I really don't know if it's going for a classy angle or an industrial angle. If I was going to get a Cartier watch it would probably be a santos though.

Yes because for jewelry and baubles history is half the brand appeal, that's why Rolex, Cartier, omega are so high up in sales, even if Cartier and omega are owned by soulless conglomerates

>>17675224
If they dropped the roman numerals and gave it a more sporty dial with applied numerals or indexes it would probably be a pretty cool modern watch.

The Bulova was indeed on the moon, worn by David R Scott (the seventh person to walk on the moon) during Apollo 15. But it wasn’t the first, nor did it go through NASA’s rigorous selection process. Still a very cool watch with interesting history, albeit being a bit of a speedmaster cope watch.

>>17673883
What was the aftermath of him getting robbed and having all his watches stolen? That was a long time ago, did he ever get them back?

pic related gets me plenty of compliments. 3 things people always point out are "clean design," "stands out," and "good size." It's 36mm, ~35$ amazon, and I bought it for work. I wear it everywhere now. I wore it with my Zegna suit. fukkn sleek.

Guys at work have much larger, pricier, and ornate watches. I've asked them if they get compliments, and they've all answered, "uh, yeah, sometimes." In reality, nah, they're lying. No one's commented.

Truth is that the average person will look past the pricey watch and find a tryhard wearing it. People will compare the price of the watch with the person's line of work, and think, "showoff." There's nothing rich or refined about looking desperate.
