>>17711365
Where did I say Omega was American, dumb fuck? It was worn by based Americans on the moon. You faggy euros are so busy sucking migrant African cock and blasting estrogenized tap water directly up your buttholes you can’t be bothered to take the time to read.

redpill me on the Tissot PRX
what is up with people's obsession with this thing? I don't get it. why is this the most hyped watch under 1000$?

>>17711388
Integrated bracelet watches are very popular right now and the PRX is pretty much the only good option in that budget.

>>17711388
Something something Gerald Genta something something integrated bracelet

what's the smallest case size (diameter in mm) a man should wear nowadays?

>>17711388
literally a royal oak/nautilus cope like >>17711390 says
it's not a bad watch, it's from a fairly well known mountain jew company, it's not fucking sold out everywhere, don't have to wait in real lines nor waitlists, it looks pretty decent
shame about the movement I suppose, but afaih it's not a huge hassle to deal with tissot customer service so for a regular person it's a pretty good watch overall

>>17711393
36.1mm

>>17711393
Watches are 3D objects, just like your arm. In fact, lug to lug is a better indicator than diameter to instantly know if a watch is too big or too small for your wrist.

Also the final redpill about watch dimensions is this:
>lug to lug is relative to the width of your wrist
>thickness is relative to the height of your wrist
>diameter is relative to the width of your HAND

having bad specs is a luxury only swiss watchmakers can afford

>>17711498
>Still has good specs
Specs are irrelevant. No one ever uses their watches to 1/10th of what they're capable of.

>My microshitter's got 300m WR!
Don't care, it looks like shit

Specs are just cope that your manjewelry is more than just jewelry. If it looks like shit, you look like shit. And if you look like shit, you are shit.

It's hilarious how Omega gets so much shit in /wt/.
Many brands are made fun of in various ways (Cartier is for fags, Rolex is for NPCs, AP is for niggers, GS is weebshit, Casio is for poorfags...) but no other brands is bullied as Omega is.

>>17711515

While I like certain references from Omega, a lot of their shit is straight overdesigned garbage. See the SMP, so much added over the years that's unnecessary filler, worsening it's look each iteration.
And they jack prices along with everyone else for no discernible reason other than they can.
And they're made in fucking china.
It's over for omegasisters

Back to fuck this thread up.
Would you spend 3k on a seiko?

>>17711513

I think you'll find when most cling to muh specs it's always because they're talking about some rip-off HoMagE and so they're indirectly saying look how close to the original my chinese copy is, and look how much cheaper it is.
In reality the entire desireabilty of it is because of its stolen design but they can't say that so they jerk off over muh sapphire glass and muh specs

>>17711525
It's fucking 3800 usd msrp.

It's got a nice dial but for a 6l35 presage that's way off the mark. No idea why seiko is pricing these enamel dial presages over and above entry level GS models, it's retarded as fuck considering seiko's historic value proposition.

>>17711525
>Would you spend 3k on a seiko?
Why would you spend even 1k on a Seiko?

Seiko's entire appeal has always been predicated on the idea that you get a whole lot of watch for short money. The inaccuracy and poor QC could always be explained away by the low price.

>>17711525
Nah, for that money i can get one of these.

>>17711524
I think the hate for Omega has more to do with the fact so many of us have been through the same cringe phase of "DUUURRRR FUCK ROLEX I'M MORE OF AN OMEGA DUDE".

>>17711525
>Would you spend 3k on a seiko?
gs yes, seiko no

>>17711533

I wanted a seamaster pro 300 for ages when I was younger but looking at them today, the gay bracelet, the shitty toiletpaper wave dial pattern, the helium tumour, the gay skeleton hands, the 6 o'clock date window, not to mention the endless cringe 'bond' editions.

It's dead to me

>>17711525

>>17711533
This. Kids who grew up on social media are conditioned to think of everything in terms of teams and conflict.
No matter what, though, a watch will never be a replacement for an identity.

On /sp/ it's the equivalent of calling out how embarrassing it is to refer to a club or team with "we".

>>17711540
>wtf why is this shit CHF3250?
People need to stop asking this retarded question.

It, and every watch, is priced to what the market will bear. Luxury goods do not follow the same pricing rules as fungible commodities.

Rolex is too big to be any one thing. Rappers aren't boomers. Boomers hate rap. Both love Rolex.

Why is Tim Mosso like that?

He's trying to establish his "quirky, personal style" but he doesn't understand what he's doing. Guys who have a personal style are still well-dressed. Tim dresses like shit. His shirts and jackets, in particular don't like look off-the-rack but that he doesn't know his size either.

>>17711682
That just his style, though, you don't understand. It's like "I know quality and I can afford it, but I also like to keep it loose and I like to party."

It's evident the style he's copying but he's copying without understanding.

He also needs to grow his hair out.

>>17711658
Rappers are not that much into Rolex., they swiched to AP since the early 2010s.
It's probably because there was too many fake Rolexes in the hood, so the brand isn't seen as elite for them.

They are into AP, into iced watches and into Jacob and Co.

>>17711699
How is that damage control? It's one of the best chronograph movements below $10k. Or are you just posting about things you know nothing about?

>>17711696
>cope

The movement isn't any better or worse than the other Brietlings, it's shilled for the "fun" green dial and becaus the brands probably sent this model to them.

Either ways, the fact that you said it's the model you like is because you get it from youtubers and you've simply not seen any other Brietling releases this year because Youtubers didn't talk much about the other models.

>Teddy Baldassarre will review literally every watch he sells on his shitty site

FTFY

I'm still not sure who TGV is shitting on whenever he refers to "reviewers turned watch sellers" since that applies to both Teddy and Andrew Morgan(Watchfinder) but I don't trust either of these fuckers.

I don't like Andrew and his GS > Rolex videos either since he's actually getting people to buy GS and think it'll speculate high in price like Rolex instead of purchasing it for its own merits.

At least TGV is pretty open on who he's shilling for.

>>17711717
Why would you concede to someone whose concession you accepted?
You goofed.

>>17711720
>I don't like Andrew and his GS > Rolex videos either
He's fully admitted that he posts those titles because "better than Rolex" generates clicks.

>>17711723
Which is causing bullshit like THIS

>>17711706
>The B09 movement is the best chronograph movement they make
Being the best they make is irrelevant when the movement itself is just mediocre.

>>17711711

>>17711724
That's not bullshit, that's like buying entertainment on credit.

Imagine just a few years down the line that guy starts shrieking about how his collection of grand shitters is worth a fraction of what he paid. Conspiracy theories, ad hominem attacks, bizarre misunderstandings of economics. It would be pure gold.

>>17711723

Yea, I deadass pointed out how his fucking country is the reason why a Rolex Explorer II is now clocking at $17k from the $8k with no waitlist it used to have 9 years ago.

>>17711753
From my experience, Westerners suck hard at it. Never dealt with the Chinese.

>the main reason for the ridiculous price increases over the last few years are covid

Yes, with India specifically the one at the forefront when that happened. Dubai and the UAE were the biggest ones prior to 2020.

>>17711759
>It's funny because he has a terrible fashion sense

I agree with you, but despite being cringy, there's a lot of sincerity(or maybe delusion?) there to the point that he actually gets to pull it off coolly with confidence. I can't even say it's so bad that it's good, I genuinely think he looks cool, it's shit I'd come up with when I was 13 but would be too awkward to commit to such fashion.

>>17711761
what do you mean suck at it? you buy any rolex and either put it in your safe or sell it to the grey dealer next door to your AD

If I walked in blind to the closest Rolex AD, what are the chances of walking out with either
>OP 34/36
>DJ 36
I want to try them on before buying so I’m reticent to go online used/grey shopping. Also wouldn’t mind being on THE LIST for future Rolex purchases

>>17711976
OP 34 will probably be yours in 1 month if it's not a "tiffany" , "celebration" or the green dial
DJ 36 maybe in a couple months
op 36 probably relatively soon too

>>17711954
I agree, but it's super tight and irritates me

>>17711978
So basically they will have zero stock of any steel/sports watches. Crazy.

>>17711983

>>17711265
Alright, can someone please tell me on a nato watch strap what the actual FUCK the short strap is for? It doesn't seem to hold anything in place at all, in fact it seems like if you just cut it off it would make no difference.

>>17711985
It really depends on the location. Places in Vegas will have stock but wont sell it to you, maybe they will if you're a local. Places in let's say Indiana won't have any stock but will get some later
>>17711989
You can still get an extra $2000 for selling an unworn black oyster at 36mm

>>17711364
honestly the crown ruins it for me. the rest of the watch looks fit for a 1900s engineer, the crown looks like something for a princess

>>17711989
Honestly the whole waiting list thing is part of the ritual now. ADs do it because they know you're expecting it.
They'll also try to convince the most naive customers they need to purchase a Longines for the wife in order to get their name higher on the waiting list.

Here's a tip if you want to get a Rolex in no time
>go to the AD
>say EXPLICITLY you have the money on your account waiting to be spent
>say you won't chicken out
One of most annoying thing for Rolex ADs is the amount of people who don't show up after getting the call.

Man if this ever reaches 15k i'm going for it.

>>17711364
I like it but honestly between this and a Reverso I'd pick the Reverso.
The real shit from Cartier starts at 30k.

Feed it or sneed it?

>>17712052
It's too THICC
Also plated gold

Whats the best automatic watch under 3k that can actually withstand rough use fishing backpacking mountain biking

>>17712057
i'm a sucker for plated gold but it does feel like a copewatch

>>17712013
Good advice thanks

>>17712063
Oh it is a cope watch anon.
Embrace the cope and it'll be fine.

>>17712087
Ehhh I already have a Rolex so I'm not sure I want to get the Tudor. The 5k is better spent saved up toward the real watch anyway.

>>17711265
Recommend me some watches that look like pic related in under 150 bucks budget. Not necessarily a dupe for these, but I like that moderately sleek style in gold. As a female I’m looking for something that looks good on smaller wrist, but I’m open to watches labeled as men’s.

tourist here, what's the consensus on g-shock, casioak specifically

>>17712157
Good watches but I'd only buy the metal case + resin strap one. The all plastic ones are bad with everything but the most casual outfits

>>17712150
Doesn’t seem to sell very well from what I’ve seen. I think our brand ambassador sucks but I never really see anyone actually approach the bvlgari section

>>17712202
>Love the new shape of the 124060 compared to the previous gen
Yes, but it's still too blocky and slab-sided compared to the old 5-digit Sub. Maxi case Rolexes just look like jumped-up Tudors to me. They don't have the elegance of the 5-digit models.

If anyone needs volumetric conversions, I got you.

Yeah. I mean, it is what it is. You can get a 5-digit, but then you have to deal with 5-digit issues as well, like shitty bracelets and antiquated movements.

The only sports watch Rolex makes that still has a nice case SHAPE is the 42mm Yacht-Master, but everything else about that watch is wrong.

>>17712214

If Cartier Santos is a the watch for grandmas and grandaunts, the gold plating with this Tudor makes it feel like your grandpa's watch instead. I'm not in my 60s yet to even start wanting something like this. Come back at me 30 years from now.

Not particularly /fa/, no...well, actually, I take that back. It's not at all fashionable, but it's probably totally /fa/.

The only GMT I like is picrel because of how simple and well thought it is. You can also use the other side of the watch as your regular watch.

what makes the explorer an explorers watch?
does it have good weather and shock resistance?

>>17712195
It's a little better than mere plating. It's much thicker.
Rolled gold used to be done before the microns thin gold plate even existed.
Still a cope for those that couldn't afford solid gold pocketwatches though.

what's up with my NH35 powered microshitter gaining and then losing seconds throughout the day? If I set it exactly and then check 12 hours later it'll be a second or 2 fast, then check it again some hours later and it'll be a couple seconds slow. Is it normal for them to oscillate like that?

the marketing

>>17712447
Why did you opt for that instead of the bracelet version? That wide Octo bracelet with the thin, slat-like links is part of the iconic look of the watch.
Unless you're married to the PVD version, which...someone will post the >PVD meme, I would but I don't have it stored.

>>17712442
>>17712447
The Hublot looks better. 100%. And is, in fact, less tacky than the Bulgari. I never thought I'd say it, but the Hublot is the more tasteful watch.

>>17712461
Imagine there was a fire, and the collection was lost, and you're talking to your insurance adjuster afterwards about recouping the cost of your lost collection, and you're trying to insist that the check be for $68.75, not just $68.00.

coulda gotten a gmt master brand new for half the cost of these

>>17712461
damn, i would really like to meet you. you might be my exact opposite, there isnt a single watch in there that i like

>>17712460
You make a fair case for it, I just wish they could’ve carried over the black dial, although the jewel blue looks nice as well. Something to think on

>>17712472
I was going to say the same, but I actually like that first generation Orange Monster. I had one when I was younger and kind of miss it.

I mean, obviously, it's just a cope Doxa, but it had a fun personality, like that chick you know who's not that hot but at least she's not fat and she gets absolutely sloppy-drunk off two Miller Lites.

>>17712460
Now that I looked it up, you're right. The bracelet version looks so much better and it's the same price.

If the guy says it's going to be a daily wearer, PVD black would be an awful choice. It looks like a G-Shock.

>>17712483
I wonder if Bulgari and vulgar share a common root word.

I like to create albums on my phone to gather my thoughts and to help visualize how everything will work together, I’m currently working on updating my look and I’m not sure how the blue Bulgari will fit into the overall aesthetic. Thoughts?

>>17712483
what's the $$$ on those bad boys

>>17712497
They cost around 9k

>>17712487
blue works better than the pvd bulgari.
the belt is a belt, the only think people look at is the buckle, and your jewelry is white metal tone. (and your billfold is in your pocket, so no one sees it.)

not for nothing, I think the chopard actually looks better.

>>17712432

>>17712499
>not for nothing, I think the chopard actually looks better.
It's also way more expensive, though. 14.7k USD MSRP...maybe 12k after the AD discount (assuming no purchase history)
The Octo is 11k USD MSRP, so with discount around 9k USD.

Does the Chopard look 3 grand better?

Of course, if you're buying a watch like this, you buy the watch you like, not the one that's the best value proposition because both of these watches absolutely crater on resale. So maybe the question doesn't matter?

>>17711997
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/nato-strap-hacks-and-tricks
"This second "under keeper" strip forms a safety that prevents the watch from sliding off of the NATO when the strap is removed from your wrist. While still handy for vintage watches or watches with more of a case-to-spring-bar gap than is common, many more modern watches offer a fit that is plenty tight enough to secure the watch when you take it off, making that extra bit of fabric little more than added bulk."

>B-b-b-but something something complication
Stuff it, no one cares. You're not going to use that complication anyway.

I alternate between living in Ukraine and America, I have friends in the military who go on deployment every year and my father frequently vacations in the Caribbean. I will genuinely benefit from having this watch rather than trying to memorize the time zone differences between each location

>>17712610
That is still not equivalent to the benefit you would get from not spending 9 grand on a piece of shit you'll get bored with in 3 months.

>>17712614
Wouldn’t I get bored of a Rolex without complications faster?

>>17712619
>Wouldn’t I get bored of a Rolex without complications faster?
No. It's a watch, not a fidget spinner. You don't need """complications."""

Trust me when I say this. I speak from experience. Don't buy a watch _because_ of its complication. You may think you want a world timer because "it's so useful to me" but you just end up compromising and buying a watch you don't like just because it has a complication you've convinced yourself you need.

The fact that you've been going back and forth on a bunch of models before settling on that godawful PVD Bulgari means you don't actually love the watch, just the vague idea of it.
You'll sell in in a couple months and take a huge loss on it.

>>17712620
I haven’t sold a single watch I’ve bought yet and I’ve been deciding between two models between two brands I’m quite the fan of. Complications are fun and I’ll stick to my guns on this one, they’re a large part of why I collect watches.

>>17712624
>they’re a large part of why I collect watches.
...along with being a replacement for a personality

>>17712627
I think you’re projecting bud

>>17712624
>I’ve been deciding between two models between two brands I’m quite the fan of.

Nope that's just trying to justify the behavior.
You want a new watch. You want to consooom.
Just accept it. It will be healthier in the long run.

>I haven’t sold a single watch I’ve bought yet
Considering the resale value of the watches you like, good. You'd be better off burning your house down and collecting on the insurance, lmao

>>17712631

Nope. Watch """collecting""" has clearly replaced whatever other interesting hobbies you may have had.
