Whats the best place to buy watches/cases without the strap? Preferably vintage or interesting pieces

First for modern MALE watches are from 39mm all the way up to 47mm. If your watch is below that size, its a women's watch.

>>17700292
what if my watch is a rectangle?

>>17700292
>modern MALE

thinking about buying a vostok in the middle of the war but can't decide which dial design to get, any ideas?

What are some legitimate reasons why buying this watch is a mistake?
>Daytona cope
This watch has as good a reason to look like a Daytona as literally any other, I don't see Rolex asking Osmegma for help
>Mickey mouse
I love Mickey mouse
>Get a speedy and a semen for the same money
I don't want them
I'm looking for real reasons. Shit's underviceable, needs to go to the shop every two years, bezel cracks with a stiff breeze, that kind of shit

>>17700315
Its a nice watch. Just buy it already faggot

>>17700322
I'm being responsible and saving for it. Gives me the chance to really dig into reasons why this watch could be a mistake. It's beautiful, 1/10th makes my dick hard, I want to make sure I'm not just seeing it through rose colored glasses

>>17700328
pussy

>>17700330
Not a valid criticism of the watch, ignored

>>17700315

>>17700295
Insta-woman

>>17700340
I already addressed this, I don't care, I love the mouse

>>17700315
>“Hey is that a Rolex?”
>“No, it’s a Zenith.”
>“Oh, never mind.”

Just be prepared for that to never end.

Is this the watch thread?

>>17700347
>Did you know Rolex used this movement for 12 years before they developed their own? They couldn't even use it at the full beat rate
I'm prepared

The latest Breguet Type 20 is heinous wow. Look at that date window.
wtf is swatch doing?

>>17700315
430 date is cringe

>>17700315
Look up accounts of zenith servicing in your region. Keep whatever complaints you may see in mind as it could happen to you.

>>17700349
based

>>17700360
That's as close to valid criticism as I've heard, but not enough to deter me
>>17700366
Duly noted

>>17700351
Movement? Beat rate? Uhh ok. Kids, lets go. No, I don’t want to hear about 1/10th of a second. Please, just stay away from my children.

>>17700381
Good, I didn't want to talk to that person any longer than that anways

>>17700351
>he says, looking up from his watch only to see the other person has already walked away.

W2c used Rolexes that aren't going to scam me?

Idc about special editions or anything, I just want a nice Sub in one of a few colors, or maybe a Bateman.

full gold zenith is pretty based

>>17700411
Fakes don't have lume on the numerals or?

>>17700347
I'v'e never had conversations about my Rolex with random strangers, but I've had compliments on my sneakers, my ring (which is lab grown lol) and a bracelet that was a christmas gift far more than my Rolex.

I tossed a coin, coin said I SHOULD NOT buy a new watch, I must respect the coin toss.

>>17700439
it sounds like to me you're just making excuses to not buy it

>>17700448
I already have a watch on its way, I kinda wanted a new one, so I let the coin decide.

>>17700449
which one

>>17700452
I wanted an amphibia, I realized I don't own any of these quirky russian watches

>chinkshitter finally with local delivery company after going dark for a week

>>17700458
enjoy, i might buy this titanium shitter off jomashop for $100 for when i want a beater and call it a day

>>17700462
I bet it is dogshit

>>17700462
enjoy your lame fake rolex

>>17700463
nice piece, but why not a casio? it's quartz anyway. or just for the titanium?

>>17700463
>“Hey is that a Citizen?”
>“No, it’s a Seiko.”
>“Oh, never mind.”

oh boy, vicodin + reggae is really a great combination, just like a diver and a nato

>>17700467
I actually have this but I really regret not buying it in eco drive as I forget to time it all the time, might see if I can trade it.

>>17700475
>citizen with no eco drive
done goof'd

>>17700309
either go with the blue scuba dude (in the 420 case) or the sailboat (710 case)

kys drugfag

which is better between a mechanic and an automatic????

Since Eon Productions wants a female, or a tranny, or at the very least a male nog for the next "James Bond" I wonder if swatch will continue to pay for product placement? Or will they have to settle for nomos?
If a woman or troon, omega loses all of its reason for the product placement in the first place. Women don't give a shit about watches and a man won't go out and buy the latest planet ocean after seeing it on some ugly woman's wrist, because you can be sure as shit they'd choose the ugliest actress, who cannot act, they could find.
Trannies same deal but worse. Potential budwiser tier destruction of brand with no recourse.
Negro? Least bad option but still nowhere near optimal. Nogfatigue is real, and asians/rabs/everyone else on earth that haven't been institutionally guilted into giving a shit about blacks would not touch it anymore either.
I wonder if anyone in swatch management has even thought about this enough to worry about it and plan accordingly. Knowing pedowood they'll want the next "bond" to be a black mtf tranny.

Omega better extricate themselves quick. No wonder they released that lazy "60yrs film Bond" special seamaster when omega's only been associated with what, half that? Milking it while they still can.
Will be interesting to see what happens because this is would be a major problem for omega.

>>17700491
holy schizmoly

>>17700486
Automatics sound and feel cool but they're really inaccurate and waste a lot of ammunition. Mechanics fix your car. I'm not really sure how to compare the two

I just bought a Casio DW5600-E for a beater

>>17700486
Don't you mean utomatic or manual?
BOTH are mechanical watches.
I myself prefer manual winding.

>>17700464
I bet it's going to be better than any of your watches
>>17700465
I will, enjoy your real nowatch, lmao
stay salty, bitches ;^)

>>17700466
i like how it looks and the titanium but i was also considering a casio duro

>>17700491
NOW

>>17700504
>Is that Rol-
>Oh I see, it's a The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 天安門大屠殺 MAXIMUM POWER DRIVE

>>17700506
I had the casio duro, great watch, but too boring imo, indices are too small for the size of the case and dial, I just sold it a few weeks ago.

>>17700508
How is he wrong?

>>17700493
my bad, it was manual, nor mechanic, I don't speak english.
>>17700503
why do you prefer manual winding? more accuracy?

>>17700492

I'm Mexican actually, I would wear my Rolex while swimming but I don't really want to

>>17700566
Yes, these ads were made in the 60s (peak of western civilization).
They're great because they're of excellent taste and still make modern watchcucks seethe to this day.
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T WEAR A 36MM WATCH THEY'RE FOR WOMEN
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T WEAR A ROLEX WITH A SUIT

sheesh wrist drowning rn

It's started. Last gen Moonwatch is listed used for more than a brand new 3861 Moonwatch. The big box is becoming collectible.

Pity I bought mine without papers at the time.

>>17700571
Don't ever swim with your rollie! This happened to me.

>>17700573
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T WEAR A 36MM WATCH THEY'RE FOR WOMEN

It’s laughable. The other day I saw the tank described as a woman’s watch when it was literally designed specifically for a hardened military general.

>>17700577
Wtf? Retard

>>17700578
My 36mm Heuer Carrera Chronograph fetches more looks and questions from watch people, including Rolex AD, than any other more expensive piece that I own.

Speaks for itself.

>>17700560
God damn that ad is based. Why would you wear a giant watch outdoors? Makes no sense

>>17700577
oh no no no hahahah

>>17700577
>this is the supposed """oyster""" waterproofness
embarassing

>>17700351
>They couldn't even use it at the full beat rate
They could. They just decided to go through the hassle of slowing Zenith's movements down because 36,000 bph is fucking retarded and Rolex didn't want to deal with shorter servicing periods.

>>17700583
the crown is unscrewed

>>17700577
Link to reddit post? I wonder what actually happened. You're supposed to water resist test watches yearly.

Anyone know anything about Christopher Ward watches?

>>17700588
reverse image search shows he swam in a lake with the crown loose

>>17700577
>crown unscrewed
Really activates the almonds.

>>17700587
to let the water come out after the other seals failed, no doubt

>>17700591
>loose crown
werks on my chinkshit, lmao

>>17700591
Where did you see that? Looks like a gasket failure. Dumb bitch didn't say though. Also why do you fucking retards keep posting reddit shit? Stop making me go to that faggy website.

>>17700604
>warranty still covers it
>bracelet looks like it's been through the rock polisher tumbler
>lolexes fail their water seals while still within warranty
god damn, I would feel like a complete fucking retard if I was ever dumb enough to spend that amount of money for such a piece of shit with no QC

Grand Seikos feel really underwhelming in person

>>17700608
so do you

>>17700607
Maybe he had his crown out, just like he does in this picture.

>>17700611
its a chick. and if the crown was out it wouldn't be covered under warranty.

Honestly even if a watch is rated for 30bar, wouldn't even risk it

>>17700590
They're overpriced for what you get and underwhelming in every way.

>>17700613
how does it feel being a complete fucking pussy

>>17700632
hello predditor

>>17700634
why couldn't they just use a normal material?

>>17700612
>it's a chick
not with those hands, he isn't, lmao
maybe he says that he's one, but that doesn't matter for normal people

>>17700637
costs more, why would they when retards keep buying this trash and can't get enough of it
they literally stand hours in lines for these shitters lol

>>17700654
its just an ugly chick. doesn't look like a troon to me. dj is on wrist in her most recent post

https://www.reddit.com/user/mustangst/

I fucking hate you reddit posting faggots for making me go to this shit site

>>17700656
Yeah it's a real chick.

>>17700612
How would rolex know if the crown was out or not whilst it was submersed in water?

>>17700659
because the gaskets would be fine and it would pass a pressure test

>>17700656
Having a rolly bumps her to 8

do people really?

sold my negative dial square a couple of months ago and felt the need to replace it

nope I really don't

>>17700661
Solid 5, kek

>>17700765
Yep, w217h and f105w are much better.

Orient Kamasu gen1 or gen2?

what strap would suit this? i'm not a fan of bracelets

>>17700796
brown?

>>17700796
A field watch stile thick brown strap with white stitching.

>>17700743
Yes i do.

>>17700729
I even did dive with my SMP 300m a couple times anon (would normaly wear a Citizen tho). And of course it was my go to beach watch, until i sold it.

Things you dont use, is like if you dont have them.

R8 my collection.
350$ spent total.
Which one would you sell which one would you buy?

Daily is Casio and Seiko, work casual is Seiko tank or Mister Jones, Ebel is for events, weddings and flexing on watch shop staff.

>>17700794
This one

>>17700809
Put the Seikos on straps. Trash the Ebel.

>>17700809
I suppose the quartz seiko is halfway decent, if you managed to resize the bracelet
the auto seems to have heavy water damage on the dial and a horrible bracelet
the rest are just throwaway

>>17700809
I dig the seiko 2nd from the right, ref?

>>17700812
this

>>17700812
I'm actually trying to sell the Ebel, I have it posted at $480.
What straps would you recommend for the seikos?
>>17700813
I managed to resize the bracelet no prob, it actually looks great on my wrist, the auto has a bit of much but it a daily beater. I may have to have it serviced

>>17700818
Seiko tank brings up tons of results

>>17700827
2nd from the right my nig, not the left.

>>17700739
gw5000u
since it is quite a bit heavier than the regular squares and the resin band being ever so slightly softer i don't see myself getting rid of this one
having it light up automatically when i lift my hand is also very comfy
>>17700738
ive had the privilege to procreate and would rather put my money towards my newborn
i also work as a tunneling engineer and a nice watch i can wear everyday brings me more joy than something locked up in a safe
might get a reverso someday though

I bought.

Whataddaya think?

>>17700831
Oh man, I'm stupid.
7009-8270-P no idea if it's very valuable but it's a nice piece automatic with date complications

>>17700276
Lads, I have been offered a new Rolex Datejust 36 126200 from an AD, do you think I should get it?

>>17700853

Unless it's something wildly different than what you were in waitlist for, don't just get it because you can, get what you were waiting for

>>17700842

>>17700853
Yes. But the "id buy anything Rolex offers me" vibe is cringe also.

>>17700712
ETA2892 chronometer grade tho. Might as well get the quartz which is even slimmer and better looking.

>>17700632
>>17700633
Very plastic feeling. I wouldn't recommend it for RRP and I would laugh to the point of vomiting if anyone paid a penny over RRP.

I also recommend changing out for a different band if you get one.

>>17700869
I put in an EOI for the model though, I'm on the fence, prices went up since I did the enquiry

>>17700869
That's peak cringe, IMO, because it tends to be middle aged men going through a midlife crisis who tend to do this kind of shit.

If the Rolex you're getting isn't the one that fits you as a person, you're probably one that doesn't have a personality of their own.

I think anyone in this thread should be able to pick out a specific Rolex that works out for them, but if I see a fucker who says they got a Submariner or Explorer because HURR DURR Steve McQueen, you clearly don't know your shit since if you did, you'd be getting a 417 ES, or if you're getting a Daytona over the Zenith El Primero.

>>17700873
I really like the Mission to Mars design, but I'm not getting one for more than $150.

>>17700878
Just wait for the one you truly want, dude. Don't get played by your AD.

>>17700661
>Don't know shit about mechanical watches
>somehow has a $6k Rolex

Makes you wonder whose dick she had to suck for that.

>>17700809
>$350 total
>Mr Jones on its own is $245

Where'd you get the MrJ at a bargain?

>>17700878
Get the one you want, don't get a copey because the prices went up

>>17700899
The whole prices going up is also a sales strategy as well.

I wouldn't trust what an AD says.

>>17700881
>>17700899
They are offering the model I originally enquired about. The prices went up since my enquiry and I don't think I want to spend that much now

>>17700879
>417 ES
nice watch

>>17700909
Ah fair enough, how much is it up by? Watch groups are all uping their prices by 10-15% the last few months, fucking jews

Omega just up'd everything by 5% last week

Anyone got a list of shit that's patently unacceptable on any watch over 100 dollars?
>no sapphire crystal
>second hand doesn't line up with the markers
>second hand has an exposed hole instead of a cap
>single piece end links

>>17700577
>>17700583
you really arent supposed to swim with a watch unless it has at least 100 bar water resistance

>>17700930
100 bar? i heard you needed at least 1000 bar to even touch the shallow end of the pool/beach

>>17700499
Nice! Some unique features it has that are not available on much more expensive squares are flash alert and repeat timer. Let me know if you want some tips and tricks.

>>17700931
100 BAR is the minimum for the shallows/pools.

>>17700809
The Ebel is the most interesting one.

>>17700661
I'm real desperate and if I saw that face in real life I would run away. Jesus! I still see it when I'm not even looking at it. Haunting.

>>17700915
Only an extra $600 aud, but I was stretching the budget by a bit at the original price

>>17700943
Considering she got a Rolex without knowing anything about mechanical watches, safe to say someone smashed that hoe.

>>17700735
>>17700833
Not my favorite but a great compromise and way better than the GW-M5610 at least. Turn off the auto light function. It's cool and useful but it will drain your battery. Just plan ahead, if you know you'll be in situations when you'll need it turn it on and then remember to turn it off.

Balling today

what degree of cope is an alpinist?

>>17700842
That is the ugliest Santos I have ever seen but then again I don't like the Santos so that doesn't mean much.

>>17700853
Only if you're flipping it.

>>17700950
Budget isn't really a factor anymore once you're willing to spend on a watch past $3k.

You either get it or you don't, but budget being a consideration is just wacky to me.

The symbol of Switzerland in a positive and negative coloration?

>>17700963
The irony here is that even the movement is probably better.

The fact that a lot of >$500 Seiko watches run with a 4rXX movement while Aliexpress brands are sporting Sapphire Glass, an option for titanium, and the significantly better Miyota 9015 that gives Swiss movements a run for their money for 2/3rds the price is hilarious to me.

>>17700972
>The symbol of Switzerland

Okay that's actually pretty cool. I didn't realize that.

>>17700974
don't worry no one ever did or will lmfao

>>17700990
I didn't but I personally thought it looked cool prior to finding out about that. The fact that its designed to reference Switzerland is a pretty damn neat flex.

>>17700712
Doesn't matter what's best. I agree that the 2254.5 was the last good seamaster. What matters is what sells, and Bond sells a shit tonne of watches for Omega. Do you think anyone would've wanted that dogshit orange bezel planet anus otherwise? No.
If what happens to Indiana Jones, SW, Terminator etc., happens to Bond then Omega's kinda fucked. All they'll have is the moonwatch because the semenmaster line would've been tainted.

>>17700842
Fucking gorgeous. Happy for you.

>>17700950
Yeah just do it then.

>>17700998
That german didn't call his brand "HoratioNelson BritishbirminghamteaandsconesbuckinghamGAWDSAFFTHEQWENNN!!!11".
Christopher Ward sounds about as "swiss" as chingchonglinglong pingping III (actual swiss producers) and lolex didn't make a big deal about being an english brand; they just used britain as a stepping stone. CHRWARD's only selling point is it's englishness to target the delusional bongs who cannot afford that other british con, bremont.

>>17701007
I'm meh with them personally, so it's just a small fascination to me.

Although I am considering the C1 Moonglow when it goes live again on September.

Imagine paying 10k for something I picked up from china for a few hundred. It's 99% the same thing for 1% of the price.

Would it be odd to have a top end dress watch like PP/VC/AP/ALS-tier and up and also a G-Shock as your only watches?

>>17701044
show cyclops

>>17701088
Is there a guide to this?
Variants/years to avoid? One to go for?

>>17701091

NTA but this is my VSF sub with date

>>17701089
>PP/VC/AP/ALS-tier
One of these is not like the others, one of these just doesn't belong.

How to know if a dealer is sourcing real watches (for example seiko) or replicas?

>>17701097
Call seiko and ask them if they are authorized dealers, they should have a list.

>>17701092
It has only been produced for a little more than 3 years, there's nothing to avoid, there weren't that many made in the first place.
There were many variants, picrel, not all are in there. Basically there are 'basic' 6206 movement variants and better 6218 ones. Towards the end they became a bit bulky and experimented with different bezels so you might see fluted or ribbed or faceted ones, they all look weird. There are other variants without the day at 6, those are not included in the pic.
Basically the ones to look for are
>OG 400 series movement one, J13080
>6206-8990 (unframed day window), might suffer from dial discoloration
>6218-8970
>6218-8971 (there is a linen dial variant, rare)
>6206-8040 (there is a black dial variant, rare)
>6206-8070

yeah Patek

>>17701107
Thanks a lot for this.
There's a lot of these available on my local online market. Serviced, different prices and all slightly different dials. Had no idea where to start. Most are gold capped.

>>17701089

No, not really. If you don't need a sports watch or casual watch, buying one is needless consoooming.
Most users here would encourage a smaller, more focused collection, than simply buying as much as possible.

>>17700954
So glad I sold my Ball. Fuck China.

>>17700590
Still baffled why watch youtubers are shilling these overpriced shitters. Would rather buy a Seiko or Tissot or something.

>>17701112
it's the best looking of the lot, shame about the shitty backlight and resin case

>>17701144
every youtuber shits on it but when i had it as a kid it was never an issue

>>17701044
A few hundred of 10k is not 1% of the price, you absolute retard. No wonder you buy chinkshit.

>>17701148
the backlight? it can be a struggle to read quickly in my experience, especially compared to the superior w168 electroluminescence

Newfag here. Can someone recommend something with similar to this? Found on marketplace asking $150 but I can’t put my finger on what I don’t like about it. Figure I could spend a little more and get a marathon of similar style.

>>17701145
Such a dumb meme because anyone who owns a nice luxury watch also owns a cheap beater made in China/Thailand/Vietnam Casio

>>17701094
looks ok. no yellow/green hue huh?

>>17701159
poorfags who have entry level casio don't know ap etc exist

>>17701159
True, but that meme is for seething "people" who have a cheap beater made in China/Thailand/Vietnam Casio but can't afford anything better

>>17701096
Yes, ALS is far superior to the other 3. Vacheron and AP are both an embarrassment

>>17701044
Lmao where’d you get it

>>17701176
See list of trusted dealers on Reptime

>>17701153
I like this watch what is it?

I miss tri register chronos

>>17701159

>all my Casios are Made in Japan
feels so fucking good

>>17701044
It’s all so tiresome

>>17701078
Please go back

>>17701225
If I buy direct from Casio will it be made in Japan?

>>17701241
It depends wholly on the model.

>>17701241
Lol no. You have to live in japan and buy locally.

>>17700963
>he paid +$400 for a cool name on the dial

>>17701245
You have to be born there as well, for example Pewds is still only entitled to imported shit.

>>17701197
It's a Nixon. I can't recall the model name. I have one somewhere. It's 300m, but huge and that case is mostly empty.

>>17701197
>>17701266
Nixon tide watch 51-30

>phoneposter telling people to go back

>>17701241
No. It says it on the back of the watch if it's made in Japan. Some people are obsessed with Japan Domestic Products (JDM) because of the old notion that the best products stay in Japan and they export the inferior products. It's the same watch so the only people that matters to is collectors that need the box from Japan.

>>17701227
>>17701229
kek this retard can't even afford a fake.

>>17700886
It's the only one I've bought, all the rest are thrifted for pennies or just hand me downs

>>17700941
It's the only one I'm willing to sell

>>17701274
Would you like me to go turn on my PC and use that to call you a predditor?

Hi I'm Tim, welcome to Watchbox and thanks for logging on!

>>17700292
How many times are you gonna post this cringe? Do you think it will be just as funny the 10,000th time?

>>17701352
Calm down anon, fatties deserve to wear watches too.

>>17701338
Based Tim.

>>17701352
You retards need to stop giving him dopamine hits and he’ll fuck off.

will i be just like kiryu if i buy this?

>>17701370
For me it's the Shenmue Timex

>mogs PP Calatrava

>>17701380
Which model number is that?

>>17701380
The movement is beautiful but the rest of it is meh at best. Those lugs are thick and awkward, not slender and elegant.

>>17701380
What's with all the PP hate these last few threads? Did I miss something?

>>17701388

It's a hot new meme.

>>17701388
ALS shills got their Q3 budget approved

>>17701388
We realized Patek Philippe finishing is trash unless going for the most expensive references.
AL&S is King now because their finishing is GOD from most affordable to most expensive.
Keep it up!!

>>17701398
See >>17701399

>>17701399
are you irish youtuber

>>17701380
Meh.
The more I look at nicely finished movements, the less I appreciate them. I get these require an absurd amount of work, but it's not what gets me diamond hard in watchmaking.
I'm more interested in the proportions, the design choice and the general style of luxury watches (and especially how you can implement them in an outfit).

Watchnerds who jerk off to movement finishing are the dorks of the watch community. Like okay, I get the appeal, but please go away I don't want to be associated with you guys.

why do tool watches have polished cases and indices?

>>17701406
One thing that's really annoying about movementcucks is their tendency to praise certain brands or watchmakers despite shitting out the worst looking watches ever.
FP Journe, Voutilainen, MB&F or Roger Dubuis make DISGUSTING looking watches but we're supposed to respect them because some retard in Switzerland worked 12 years on pic related.

>>17701418
invenit et fecit, bitch

>FP Journe has a store in Kiev
lmao what the fuck

>>17701414
Why do wrench sets have chrome plating?

>>17701418
Looks like a 90s Tag Heuer

I want a watch made out of pure chrome.

>>17701418
Peak sovl

>>17701370
he's more of a Casio Duro guy

>>17701418
I think it's fucking gorgeous. I will buy this watch one day.

>>17701445
What are the most inappropriate materials for a watch?

>>17701433
>invenit et fecit
That's so crige to write on a watch dial, it reminds me the retarded tattoos some of my thot highscool classmates have gotten

Also I agree the watch is horrendous

>>17701458
anything plated, wear will scratch the shit out of it and will look awful.

>>17701460
I’ve forwarded your feedback to Francois-Paul, I’m sure he’ll take it into account after he finishes buying his 10th yacht.

>>17701445
Why not platinum

I want my watch to be really heavy, will osmium be ok or should i use depleted uranium?

>>17701467
Chrome has the most bestest of shinening.

>>17701465
He might, rich people tend to care about their legacy. I doubt he wants to be remembered as an exceptional watchmaker with the flaw of tarnishing every watch with a stupid sentence, just to exploit the simpleton fascination that ignorant (but rich) people have for latin

>>17701458
Solid caesium watch. I mean, time is defined by caesium decay, so it's the perfect material! Just don't get it wet. Or slightly humid. Or not coated in a thick layer of oil. Or hotter than 28 degrees. Or scratch it with anything above a 0.2 on the mohs scale.

>>17701465
>X is immune to criticism because it's successful
Yeah I'm sure you've never shat on [insert any watch brand you don't like]

>>17701482
>Just don't get it wet. Or slightly humid.
Don't sweat it.
