That's even worse with that font.
>How to ruin a dial with this one neat trick!

>>17689029
This reminds me: why do lesser brands insist on printing shit on the dial like "automatic" etc., when basically every truly high end brand realizes this is redundant and looks bad?
It's not 1975, no one needs to be reminded that their shit ain't quartz or hand wound anymore.

I've always thought Fail Pee Journe were rather ugly.

>>17689027
Not sure, I'll post a wrist pic when it arrives.

>>17689034
>why do lesser brands insist on printing shit on the dial like "automatic" etc.
Because of Rolex.
Rolex realized that the watch face can do more than just advertise the brand so they crammed every single bit of text they could on there, even shit that's redundant.
>Superlative Chronometer
You made the 'superlative' part up. The chronometer is pass-fail. Saying you regulate it even tighter than chronometer standard is the equivalent of "just trust me".
>Officially Certified
No shit, you can't legally put "chronometer" on your dial at all if it isn't officially certified.

Then, because Rolex is the best seller, every other brand started doing it as well. Now, if your watch doesn't have a book written on the dial, it's not a serious piece.

>>17689048
FP Journe isn't about looking good, it's about flexing the brand, wearing what no one else can get.
Replace the brand name of any FP Journe with Casio and people would say it looks childish and over-styled.

>>17689060
*blocks your path and rapes your shitter*

>>17689060
I can assure you there are some tasteless retards out there who unironically believe picrel is the best looking watch ever made.

>>17689060
>Replace the brand name of any FP Journe with Casio and people would say it looks childish and over-styled.
This is true of many expensive watches, though.

On the flip side of the coin, at least Journe is trying to do something that stands out, even if it does end up looking shitty.
Plenty of other brands are so scared of coloring outside the lines their watches end up looking stale and sterile.

The Chronometre Bleu is really nice though.

>>17689047
Rolex called the aliens to certify it in the galactic cosmographical univercity

Yeah, it's dumb and tasteless as fuck. But if they didn't have ENAMEL written on the face then nobody would ever guessed that its ENAMEL which is supposedly really big deal and totally not like having white paint or anything the real enamel is super duper special.

The other watches write automatic so that you can tell people it's automatic

>>17689098
>What the fuck?
Lume is not free. Hamilton is a budget brand. The triangle was supposed to be lumed, but that would have raised the price above the marketing team's requirements.

Is it "coping poortards will try to bash over what they'll never be able to afford" already? Journe edition?

Sorry, kiddo. It doesn't work.
I don't care that I can or cannot afford a Journe. I am criticizing it solely on its aesthetics.

You're free to offer your own viewpoint, engage in healthy debate, and try to change my mind, but since you went straight to "hurr poorfag", I'm guessing you don't have much of a point to make.

Don't bother replying, you've nothing substantive to say. (You will anyway, just to have the last word, thinking that constitutes a "win")

Well, he was right in a way, to be fair. You didn't have anything to add but shitposting.
I'm guessing he's new to /wt/. Give him time. He'll learn.

Turbo poorfag here. I had a casio MQ24 but after almost 2 years of daily use it looks like a toy watch. Timex easy reader/weekenders look nice for the price but, the ones I like are 38+ mm and I'm also an absolute wristlet. Are there any recommended brands in the same price range with decent 35-36 mm pieces?

>>17689104
>P.s. I also can't afford it, but I'm not salty or crying over it

Poorfags need to learn their place. You don't even get to TALK about FP Journe, positively or negatively. It's not for you to even think about.
Get back to posting your garbage sack full of affordables or something.

Christ, I'm sick of you people.

>>17689103
>Lume is not free.

That makes me all the more proud to have a such a true premium brand with rich heritage as Seiko 5 in my collection.
No corners cut there, 200$ well spent on the highest quality, not like some shit Omega with unlumed numerals.

It's a "Love the Sea and the Earth" special edition from 2013, but fuck yeah it is. Why I got it. Amazing colorway. It's my go to bang-around watch, and the only one I'll wear in the ocean. Technically the snowflake is rated to 10 bars, but no way am I testing that theory.

>>17689192
That's fuckin great.

They opted for a metallic applied triangle with cuts to make it look neat in the light.

>>17688899
>Violently puking everywhere, on my shoes, my clothes, his watch.

was it the pelagos? you really shouldnt puke on a watch unless it has at least 600m wr. you probably ruined that guys watch

>>17689201
>to make it look neat in the light.
Well, that's a swing-and-a-miss as the Burgers say.

>>17689207
It's kind of grown on me. It's the same as the big minute markers. All applied metallic with the same scoring. Trying to find a halfway decent picture that shows it. Subjective as with most watch aesthetics.

>>17689202
If the vomit is more fluid than chunky you mustn't be without at least 1000m WR minimum.

Is this a good watch for a noob?
I don't own any, and I feel it looks like C3PO, which I like a lot.

>>17689212

>>17689212
he didnt describe in enough detail, but i suppose it started with fluid, transitioned to chunky vomit and ended up with bile. i really dont know how would rubber seals fare with combination of vomit, bile and tears all coming out with great speed and pressure. lab conditions are one thing, real life is something else

>>17689218
yeah man, Casios are sick. That's a neat throwback lookin one.

>>17689211
If you like it, that's great. You're the one that has to wear it.
No one here would be so impolite as to do any more than smile and nod IRL.

>>17689218
Just not in gold.
A modified black one was featured in Alien.

Generally the retro casios look fucking great with all their colorful accents. The f-91w looks good in black with blue trim and red accent and the one on your pic looks like your grampa's VHS player in a cool way.

>>17689211
>Trying to find a halfway decent picture that shows it.

A couple tips:
Set up a quick lightbox and background to make the light hitting it more diffuse. It will pick up the details without as much glare and/or shadow.
Hold the phone or camera further from the watch and use the zoom for getting details. (Also, if you don't have a stand for your phone, set it on something stable.)
Then replace the watch with a Rolex.

All your pics should be much improved, I think we'd all agree.

>>17689235
Appreciate the advice, really do, but I just don't care that much.

>>17689072
It's an astonishingly beautiful watch IMHO.

You'll never own it.

>>17689034
Almost every normie that is proud of their shitter has told me their watch is automatic, as if it's magic or rocket technology. You overestimate the wit
of 95% of the planet.

>>17689250
Mort, don't. Please. This is a good (for /wt/ standards) thread so far.

Homages are acceptable if it's an obscure, long out of production design.

>>17689246
IMO fake gold is cringe just because its fake, same as wearing fake brands. It signals to the people that you wish you had a golden watch but couldn't afford it.

But you do you, ofcourse.

>>17689087
love the OQ. how's the bracelet?

Don't worry, I don't have a lot of time today to stay in the thread, so I won't post any pics.

>>17689255
Homages are acceptable because literally no one who matters gives a fuck about watches. If you're not an impressive person, your watch is not impressive, no matter what it is.

You want to have some fun? Wear some real shitter, like some Steinhart Sub homage and corner a guy with a nice watch into a conversation about watches. Watch him squirm as he tries to be polite while thinking you're wearing a piece of shit. Make him say nice things about it. Try to force him into saying it's crap.

Suuuper nice chunky links, similar to the oyster on the explorer but flatter. Satisfyingly chonky.

>>17689263
It's not about being impressive, it's about being fake same as fake gold.

It shows that you wanted something else but you settled down.

If you wear a black plastic casio - you like plastic casio.
If you wear a fake golden casio - it shows that you want gold but can't buy it.

>>17689274
A gold Casio is still fun because it parses as a Casio. A gold Invicta Pro Diver is what turns into eye-rolling.

When I meet people with actual Rolex money at conventions, they think a Seiko is cooler than some Submariner homage.

I had this happen to me. Not maliciously, of course. One of my brothers-in-law got some new Fossil piece of shit and we had a good long talk. He mentioned how much he liked Movados. He's not even working class. He's an attorney. He could have whatever he wanted.

Within two months I had sold off my collection as I realized that the difference between good watches and bad watches was irrelevant. I kept my father's Rolex (obviously, it's still an heirloom).
I bagged nearly a quarter mil all told and built a new dock at the lakehouse, but I regret having spent so much time worrying about trinkets.

>>17689270
>You're weird and probably have an inferiority complex.

>>17689278
You'll find something else to fill the money hole that watches left, it's why you got $250k deep into these turning pieces of metal in the first place. Go out there and consoom bucko

>>17689278
This is both depressing and inspiring.
I'm in the same boat.
The only people I know who care about watches are all of you in this thread and you guys, admittedly, suck. Why would I want to impress you? We all hate each other.
Look at Mortadello. He's admitted that he doesn't have any friends who care about watches so he comes here, where he gets shit on. But he keeps coming.

I don't want to live like that. I'm trying to figure out one watch to buy/keep or if I truly can get away with just my phone and a fitness tracker for working out.

>>17689017
Fucking gorgeous. FP Journe may very well be my favourite watch brand at this point. Can anyone post a single Journe that isn't beautiful?

I wish I had bought the fucking Chronometer blue for $14k. I had the chance but I thought I would hold out for a little while. Well fuck me I guess. Is there any hope for them coming back down to under $20k? Or is it really a new precedent?

>>17689297

>Is there any hope for them coming back down to under $20k? Or is it really a new precedent?
Zero, unless the market for them utterly collapses.

>>17689069
It is. It is better than any Pp, Ap or Rolex ever made.

>>17689304
The market for them is permanently high because they've become speculator pieces. That was always the point, which is why Journe and Govberg/Watchbox worked to together to corner the market while hyping them up. Pure market manipulation.

I recently impulse bought this seestern chinese shitter just because I liked the look of it... how badly did I fuck up ?

I know you're just meme'ing but I'll give you a serious response, anyway.

JLCs generally come out of the factory with excellent accuracy. I've owned several and none has ever been worse than +/- 2 seconds per day. They still make 1000's of watches per year and no one is perfect. (Look at RolexForums for examples of guys complaining about the accuracy of their new Rolexes.)

I can check my warranty for the exact figures, but they will consider anything outside +/- 5 seconds per day as something repairable under warranty for the 7 years of the term of warranty.
In the case of the guy with the Reverso that was gaining 30 seconds per day, he was able to get his watch repaired under warranty.

Also, the Duoface has only one movement with two faces. It's not two movements.

What do you think about longines watches?

I love it with the white strap

>>17689464
Swatchslop

>>17689464
They made some great watches back in the day, then got killed by some bad business decisions during the quartz crisis.

The resurrected Swatch version of Longines is not allowed to be as good as they could be because of their place on the Swatch hierarchy of brands.

For example, consider the 13ZN chronograph movement. It's one of the greatest chronograph movements ever made and Longines could make a fortune for Swatch if they just resumed making watches with that movement. Of course, then it would directly compete with the Omega 321 and 3861 as hand-winding chronograph movements. We can't have the cheaper brand make the more expensive one look bad.
(That's also why Omega's dress watches are so shitty, since that would pull sales from Blancpain...)

>>17689445
Nice combo. Go for it.

Get the tribute small seconds and engrave the smooth side! Duo-meme you will tire of and you will never use the other face ever. You will hate it. You will have a fav side and a side you don't give a shit about. In that case the reverso traditional case is best.

What do you fags think of the 75th anniversary seamaster? I think the “summer blue” looks kinda childish. I really like the caseback but it should’ve made it thinner.

>>17689049
What model is that?

>>17689499
The color looks cool. I appreciate the nice little touch of making the blue shade darker on the watches with more water resistance.

They should be readily available too. Omega discontinued their policy of making limited editions a while ago.

we need more colored watches
I'm so bored of silver/gold cases.

>>17689512
Agreed. So what do we use? Cheap shit plastic or Oops-I-bumped-it-on-the-table-and-it-shattered ceramic?

I'm considering this watch. In-house movement, world timer complication which I think is really cool and quite affordable for what it is at a little more than 4k. Anyone got some experience with FC watches?

>>17689479
>Get the tribute small seconds and engrave the smooth side!
Meh.
I think having the two faces is a nice plus. And the complication is really cool to use.

>>17689512

>>17689521
Lighten up. It's just insane to me how the watch market is so oversaturated and yet so many watches look the same.

>>17689512
>>17689515

>>17689520
Having two faces is the only cool part about the watch that makes it any different from every other 3 hander, tracking two timezones without a gmt is very unique

>>17689525
It's just 42mm. What's the problem?
Are you a wristlet? LOLOLOL

>>17689529
do they make watches like this with an analog face?

>>17689519
bro if its 4k you can surely wait and save up a little more for something like a omega worldtimer? I think you can get one used for like 8k.

I'd love to see a case made of multiple pieces of metal that are all tempered to a different color. Bonus points if the end links are multiple pieces as well.

>>17689537
>>17689537
Or a two tone, blue and gold watch with a purple dial.

>>17689537
Or a brown/purple composite woven metal dial with guilloche and then enamel over the top.
The possibilities are endless.

What material is the opposite of vantablack? Make a watch out of it.

>>17689528
>Have you never seen metal coated in different colors?
Oops, it scratched.

>>17689537
is there anything steel can't do? I love steel so much bros

Saw this joke images and it made me think: has anyone made a watch that can transform? the only one i know is the Reverso.

>>17689525

Okay, fair enough. I'll keep this in mind.

>>17689526

The Patek world timer in platinum is one of my grail watches, but I'll never be able to afford that.

>>17689536

I'm not a big fan of the Omega one. I think it looks a little tacky.

>>17689542

>>17689512
Weird strap

>>17689519
They are owned by citizen, they used to be a kind of cheapo swiss dress watch brand but they have been trying to move upmarket and invested a lot in new movements. I think their current lineup looks pretty nice but they definitely don't have the prestige or cultural cachet of other brands. If you decide to sell the watch later you will probably take a haircut if you buy it at retail. I would first try to see one in person if possible and then lurk chrono24 until you can find a barely worn used one at a hefty discount.

>>17689548
>has anyone made a watch that can transform?
Sort of. Prepare to vomit.
Manufacture Royale The Unique

>>17689512
When blue pvd filtered down from de bethune and chronoswiss to some microshitters I thought perhaps the time was ripe for another fad, like the short lived sapphire crystal case fling a few years ago. But then AP's new RO's came in blue ceramic and that was the end of that.

>>17689586
This monstruosity can't be real, right?
RIGHT???

>>17689574
no one is forcing you
would be nice to have the option

also are there any watches like this that are painted and reveal a patina as the paint wears off?

>>17689542
>What material is the opposite of vantablack?
a mirror

>>17689537
I don't think it lasts. That's why it's relegated to hands and screws and things that aren't supposed to be in constant contact with hand oils and other debris. Blued hands for example aren't just flame applied they're dipped in benzene or something like it first then the fire process happens. Rub them, touch them or scratch them and it's still just a surface coating that needs reapplication over time. I have many older pockets that have hands where the bluing has faded and needs refinishing.

I've only seen one pocketwatch where the entire case showed evidence of having been blued. I can't imagine it was a common thing since it's never talked about anywhere and no prominent collectors' examples exist. In fact it was a soldier's pocketwatch with a case made out of a base "gunmetal" so if it was commonly applied it was probably only applied to inexpensive models used by soldiers in a vain attempt to provide some rust protection, as per blueing's original purpose, and that's why you don't see many because they're all buried in the mud in Flanders.

Maybe new bluing techniques are more hardy, but I'm under the impression that it's not suitable for external use.

>>17689602

>>17689522

>>17689462
like you sad, just trash talking the latest meme. i realize you cant expect manufacturer to check every single watch, unless you are buying something very expensive and limited nor does it fall in my eyes when occasional mistake happens and watch gets sold without being properly adjusted. thats nothing lets be honest
im far more concerned with poor service quality. i didnt go too deep into it, because i dont like aesthetics of most if not all jlc models so i couldnt be bothered to read about it. then again you can find someone complaining about every single manufacturer so its hard to say until it happens to you. i read about audemars changing warm cream white date wheels that arent produced anymore with brand new shiny white ones without even asking the customer if he wants it. i would go crazy if it happened to me and i dont even know what id do if i sent a perfectly fine working jlc to regular service only to have it returned broken

>>17689602
back to your shit board /p/fag

>>17689622
PVD on steel is totally different than paint on brass. The closest thing would be painted bronze. I don't think they can make brass watches because the oxidation is literal poison but I'm not 100% sure.

>>17689656
i cannot afford this so it is bad

>>17689602
Old shitters are often chromed brass or something similar and will get that same effect, so imagine old pvd watches will have it as well.

>>17689519
They're fine for what they are, usually good value and safe, conventional if a bit boring look. Don't expect to discover anything new when you bring a macro lens to one, but don't expect any defect either.
They'd be my go-to if they had some more memorable designs and if they made slightly smaller watches.

unsure if to buy a panerai cause of Epstein or a nice submariner price is about the same, maybe the panerai costs a little bit more. What should I go for ? I want to wear my watch with all kinds of different outfits

>>17689630
>i would go crazy if it happened to me and i dont even know what id do if i sent a perfectly fine working jlc to regular service only to have it returned broken
That happened to me once, though it was with an Omega. I sent my Speedmaster Pro in for service via an AD and when it came back, the winding mechanism felt extremely tight and after a few days, it also started losing time.
I went back to the AD and they never told me I was crazy or it's fine or anything like that. They promptly took it back, got Omega to do an expedited service on it, and even gave me a free strap; they were constantly apologizing the whole time. When it came back, it was perfect again.

I would go crazy too if they had told me to pound sand.
I don't expect everyone to be perfect, but I do expect people to make things right when they fuck up.

Thoughts on Perezcope?

Is he a hack or for real?

>>17689711

There are some Panerai owners who probably aren't fans of his. (Though, I also know some Panerai owners who are like, "Don't care, still like the watch.")

>>17689087
>If anyone wants a macro shot of anything with a real camera lmk.

>>17689718
Not him but it's a 6246-9000, aka a 62GS. The model originally had that "chronometer" on the dial but the swiss got pissy about that so they changed the dial later to remove it.

i really, really like the look tho. the thickness at just over 10mm is perfect

I bought my final watch about a year ago and have legitimately not worn another watch since them. I haven't even thought about buying any other watch.

That said, it's still fun to stick around here, because this general is so full of hate it's too entertaining to quit.

>>17689512
Why have one color when you could have them all?

Not exactly like that, but if you ask for one, they can get it for you in a few weeks to a few months, no purchase history needed, no BS games.

As beloved as it is here, it's not actually a super desirable watch. It's trading on c24 at about list price, if that gives you any indication.

The watches with waiting lists are things like the GMTII, Daytona, Day-Date, and the exotic-dial DJs and OPs.

That's simply not the case with Rolex sports models at the moment, though you're starting to see dealers again with DateJusts in stock. The hype will die down in time.

I'm >>17689857 and I only had to wait 7 months. I was told online it would be years if not never. Instead, my AD dutifully called me every month, letting me know that they were still working to source my no-date Sub but, if I were so inclined, they had other stuff in stock for me to pick up immediately. (Usually OPs and DJs, but in one case an Explorer II. I actually went in to check that one out.)

>>17689907
if it's price dropped down to 10k like it should've, you would beat yourself for buying a bland fag watch. chin up my guy

>>17689945
my cope is that i lack the balls for investing and would have never bought a life changing amount and never held on to it. like i remember when it went up to 1k i thought it would drop any moment

then it did drop and i could have bought but i thought that was it

what i do regret though is not buying etherium on release as it was sure to be a hit with the high profile backing it got

i do feel pretty pathetic being there almost from the start and making no significant money from crypto because i lack the balls and brains to invest and HODL

i thought crypto would never take off because even for me with decent computer knowledge the whole process lacked transparency so i thought normal people would never trust to spend huge amounts of money on virtual coins they could lose in a hack or hard drive crash with no reputable established company giving you some sense of security

>>17689958
You lack the gambler's mindset.

A normal person less pleasure winning money than despair at losing the same amount.
A gambler feels more pleasure winning money than despair at losing the same amount.

When normal people accuse the guys who made it big on one thing of never mention the dozens of losses, it's because they don't understand that those losses were all small things, emotionally-speaking, no different than accidentally burning your toast in the morning, not even worth mentioning.

Honestly, if I'd not decided to simply cash out, buy a house, and retire, I'd still be in the crypto game winning and losing left and right. I know I've got it in me to be a degenerate gambler.
