Nomos Orion. I just don't get it bros, the long lugs look horrible on wrist and the dial design looks exactly like some Daniel Wellington tier shitter
I don't usually mind minimalism and I think some of their other watches look good, but this one? I just don't get the appeal

>>17712917
Here you go anon

>>17712936
All nomos are popular for those that support the cause. By purchasing a nomos you declare that you're making a show of support for those that fight for trans rights and for adult-youth love. You also signify that you support unlimited sub-saharan migration to western europe.
Support the cause today!

>>17712936
It's one of the older HOMOS designs, if not the oldest.
Back in the 2000s there was a revival of the Bauhaus aesthetic for some reasons, and HOMOS became famous and successful thanks to the Onion. They're keeping it alive because some people still like this aesthetic I guess?
But yeah, if you wanted to be cool in 2000-2005, you either bought a HOMOS Onion or a Junghans Max Bill.

>AP should be remover from the Holy Trinity
they definitely should. then again, the other two have kind of slipped as well, released a lot of ugly stinkers, lowered quality etc. so the whole "trinity" is kind of meaningless now. you're definitely better off going for some independent watchmaker

>>17712945
The thing is, the Holy Trinity isn't some real authority somewhere in Geneva with nice office and all that shit. It's just something people say to speak about PP/VC/AP.

>>17712944
I actually really like the Max Bill, but more so with the numerals. I think the domed crystal, curved dial and super short lugs help it stand out from most other minimalist watches out there, it has just the right amount of "vintage dress watch" DNA

>>17713037
If you beat your watches up, the Tudor is better because of the steel case. Day-Dates only come in precious metals (excluding a tiny handful of steel one-offs Rolex made as prototypes).

Other than that, though, the Day-Date is superior in all regards.

Swiss garbage, especially Tissot because their shit is made in China despite the Swiss made labels. Also most entry level Swiss movements are pure dogshit and are designed to be replaced (they're not serviceable). Literally get an old ass Seiko 5 or some shit.

I can understand the argument for a BB58 or BB54 because they really look like Rolexes, but would you say BB36 or BB39 are Rolex cope?

>>17713090
It is easier to market a new product by an existing well-known name than it is to try and rebuild a name that everyone forgot. At that point, you're basically just starting from scratch.

There are more people who will accept the idea of Montblanc as a luxury goods manufacturer, instead of just a pen manufacturer, than there are sticky purists who will whine about some dead name from before the quartz crisis.

it's an inherently bad design. if you already own an omega just close this page now and dont come back. if you dont have an omega yet, DO NOT buy it. it's made in china and has the biggest markup of any sub 150k watch. a complete and total rip off (dont get me wrong, mechanical watches in general are too, but omega is just a whole different game.

>>17712936
Nomos is popular because they’re independent, have inoffensive designs (mainly), do lots of things in-house, have movement decoration that isn’t hideous, and they’re really cheap. Some of their lugs are too long but they also make lots of 36mm watches so they wear better than long lugs on a 40mm Longines or whatever.

zenith has a top-notch movement. truly a marvel of engineering. you could say that they are flying under the radar and dont get nearly as much attention as they should. it mainly has to do with the polarizing look of their watches. dial to be more precise. if you like them, they are a very good choice. only downside is that they probably wont hold their value as good as decent option daytona, but who knows. a huge number of absolute dogs that were worth next to nothing just 5 years ago became collectable. if you plan on keeping it for yourself it shouldnt bother you

El Primero gets exclusive rights to look like Daytona cope

>>17713172
>El Primero gets exclusive rights to look like Daytona cope
Nothing gets rights to look like Daytona cope. Zenith sold the El Primero to a whole bunch of companies.

By your logic, you could say JLC is allowed to be a Patek cope because Patek has used JLC movements in the past.

>>17713156
Is the El Primero still a non-hacking movement?

>>17713135
>>17713116
this
>>17713134
has it right.
The thing is Daniels' escapement is actually great both in theory and practice, IF you make it the way he did and the way his sole apprentice and inheritor of his legacy, Roger Smith, makes them.
He took the idea first to Patek who was very interested; they couldn't get it to work in mass production. Hayek, Swatch Group boss, took interest and got ETA's movement engineers to work on it closely in conjunction with both Daniels and Smith for YEARS with the intent of giving it to Omega to use as an edge against Rolex.
Result: gimmick. The benefit of the escapement was negated, rendered pointless. Arguably worse now compared with a regular Swiss Lever. How then did Daniels/Smith get the thing to work? Their movements are made out of gold which is more elastic compared with steel. Gold allows for the impact action of the co-axial, which generates less friction, leading to less frequent servicing. Smith has mentioned when queried that to date no co-axial movement has needed the typical maintenance servicing that a movement needs. They're all still going strong years later. It works and it's brilliant.

Mass produce it and you have problems. The coaxial is meant to be lubricant-less. Omega aka ETA found that the movements they made would tear themselves apart because of the impact over time.
Solution: tiny amount of lubricant added to the escapement to act as a cushion for the impact.

What's the problem? Swiss lever like Rolex and basically everyone else:
>use it for years, maybe decades
>watch keeps going
>can still use it even if lube has all evaporated
>bad for movement, but it keeps going regardless
Though you shouldn't neglect it, you have a lot of leeway. Buy, wear and forget for large chunks of your life.

ETA's cuxial:
>NEEDS maintenance within 8 years
>if not the lube-cushion is gone and shit starts fucking itself to death
>needs "special training" and a special microscope in order to apply
Time bomb.

>>17713175
El Primero was used in the Daytona for over 12 years because Rolex couldn't get their shit together and develop their own in house auto chrono movement. Daytona wouldnt be where it is today without leaning on zenith.

>>17713178
>>17713134
Thanks watch bros, I'm learning a shit ton. Is every omega the same time bomb or just the ones labeled coaxial on the dial?

>>17713180
You're not wrong, but can you just imagine the the sound of all the stifled laughter when you buy a Zenith and try to explain that

>This was the movement in the Daytona like 20 years ago.
>So your watch is as good as a Rolex Daytona from 20 years ago?
>Yeah...no...wait...

>>17713185
it all comes down to
>Is that a Rolex anon!?
>No it's a-
>Oh.
Every time.. :(

>>17713184
>Is every omega the same time bomb or just the ones labeled coaxial on the dial?
Every mechanical Omega these days is coaxial, except for maybe the tourbillon. The only quartz movements left are ladies models, AFAIK

>>17713178 is really making the problem seem worse than it is. They've been using the movement for decades now. The problems have been ironed out. Every new movement has problems. (Look up Rolex owners' issues with the 32xx movements, for example.)
It is true that you have to have it serviced by Omega but, whatever.

>>17713185
>>17713187
I'll get me a Rolex eventually. My immediate choice would be a good chrono, and zenith is in stock and can be had for less than retail easily. My Rolex would probably be a date just or explorer as the gaudy dials on the sub/gmt/Yachty make my dick soft

>>17713185
It's better. Zenith's own watches ran at 36000, Rolex downgraded it to 28800.

You should look up what "spite" means. You'll be made fun of for spending that much money when you could have bought a Rolex. Then you'll get made fun of even harder when you reveal you bought it intending to buy a Rolex down the road.

Most people don't volunteer to be lolcows, but you do you, I guess.

>>17713214
I want a chrono, Daytona retail isn't much more than the zenith but good luck getting one for that price. I like how the zenith looks, I like that it's in stock for retail, and I like how it's got the 1/10th chrono function even if it'll never be important to track 1/10th of a second, and your opinion isn't important

What's with all the niggers and fags jerking off rolex?

Ever actually owned one? Sure they're decent enough, but are super overrated and overpriced for what they are, especially grey. They're dated designs with dated specs, middle of the road finishing and mass produced on a scale Swatch would be proud of.

Same as the SUPREME clothing, hype is basically a positive feedback loop. The more hype something is the more people want it the

>>17713268
They moved to a hype based business model and everyone fell for it. I remember when oysters were 3.5k a few years ago and they never sold out.

Hello caveman, please read the following slowly, so you have a chance of understanding. Ever wondered why every phone comes with a chronograph app by default? It's because it's useful! Now, some of us find it even more useful to be able to access the utility of a chronograph directly on our wrist, so as to not be tied to a bulky, radiation emitting device. That is why we use chronographs.

Yes this shape is better. The VC is too squarish, this rectangular case is superior.

>>17713308
A lot of people can't be bother to swap watch so often. An uncluttered analog chrono is a more versatile watch. Most digital casios look pretty bad with a button up, for example, while a small chrono on leather is still acceptable

My Casio WV-59 - pressing the 'Mode' button three times - is a chronograph. It comes in very handy: as does the countdown timer (pressing 'Mode' twice). It doesn't need hands, as digital watches are a pretty neat idea. Also, via receiving a signal from Althorn which has three atomic clocks, I always have the exact time.
Cry more, lil' froggie.

>>17713242
idk my guy it looks bland and boring. if you can spend 30k on a watch that must mean you can also spend 50 or 70k and it wouldnt be a big difference. i love pateks, their models are beautiful, but 30k does seem steep for such a simple one. personally, id add some more money and go with a more interesting model. if you already have a collection like that then sure, why not go with pic related

>>17713037
Rolex DayDate is a precious metal watch with a better movement- it’s a better watch by pretty much any measure.

That’s not to say the Tudor is a bad watch though, they’re fucking great too. The SS/WG linen dial Tudor DayDate is one of the sexiest watches ever made

They have the same design language, they’re both good

>>17712936
I like the Orion. They’re “special” feeling in person. It’s a simple, dense feeling dress watch with a sparkly dial and a good looking manual movement. I don’t really know what else you could want from a dress watch

>>17713259
i wear them because i like the look. 3 hands gets boring after a while. chrono adds a nice looking complication without making the watch too busy imo. in 15 years of watch wearing i can remember only 2 times when chrono was really nice to have. even in those moments, if i didnt have it it wouldnt be a big deal

You're thinking G-shock. G-Shock are trying too hard WE WUZ RUGGED AND SHIT. The actual Casio are so neat and aesthetic i can't get enough of them, it's everything, the proportions are right, the crisp molding, the colored accents, reminds me of my grandfather too.

>A lot of people can't be bother to swap watch so often

I don't know. I'm not a Zenith customer. I just bought a Rolex and left it at that. No justification or explanation necessary.

>>17713335
So you couldn't afford a JLC?

Just visited my local AD and noticed that they relegated their Omega display both in the store and the outside window to between the Tag Heuer and Longines shitters instead of the JLC/Cartier/ALS section. And it's on ankle height with Longines being on the higher shelf. The third window is solely for Rolex, it's a pretty small store overall.
That is all, thank you for reading my blog.

>>17713329
Uncluttered analog chronos exist. And I'm not thinking g-shock, I know most of the non-g-shock digital casios (and own some myself) and they almost all look bad even with business casual. If you think the F19W looks acceptable with a button up you're absolutely delusional. Same goes for all the plated models, where there's a terrible mismatch between case and bracelet. A1000 had a chance but it's too bulky.

>I wear my casio 80% of the time and put on a metal watch when i dress up for a special occasion but you know what? GET A KITCHEN CLOCK RIGHT OVER THE STOVE TOP, you'll thank me later.
Guess what retard, not everyone has the same needs as you. If I dress business casual every day and I need a chronograph every day, I can't wear a casio (until they'll make an actually elegant, thin digital, I'm hopefull within 5 years we'll get something)

Omega got absolutely BTFO by Rolex' strategy. Now they have to compete with Tudor and Rolex literally has no competitor on their segment.

You're rich and own a rolex: It's expected. Like my millionaire boss. He doesn't really see it as special. Just has a few because he feels he should.
You're poor and own a rolex:
Everyone thinks it's fake. If it's not fake, then everyone will know you ate noodles for a year to afford it.

It always amuses me when retards in these threads unironically believe that [insert any brand] stands a chance against Rolex. Rolex literally CREATED the market for luxury steel sports watches that [insert any brand] is currently positioned on.

Pic related EXISTS solely because Rolex defined the codes for it. This watch (or any Omega, IWC or whatever) is nothing more than a homage to 1950s Rolex. Even Vacheron, Cartier and fucking Breguet have to make steel sports watches now. I don't think people realize how insane that is lmao

Ever wonder why AP and PP made steel sports watches as a reaction to the quartz crisis? Because Rolex was the only brand making mechanical watches that sold.

Not only that, but Rolex DOMINATES the whole auction world. Every week there are vintage Rolex that sell for hundreds of thousands at Phillips and Sotheby's.

Everyone wants a piece of Rolex' success. Brands, collectors, investors, customers...

The reason it looks so fucking shitty is that the Squadra and Gran Sport series tried to tinker with the Reverso's natural Golden Mean proportions. It didn't fucking work and there weren't enough assholes out there to know why it looks like crap, so they were quickly discontinued.

>>17713539
But the first commercial brand wristwatch was the Cartier Santos. With a JLC movement. First pilots watch too.

>>17713550
Yes and it looked like that.
The Santos you know (steel bracelet, water resistance, automatic movement) was designed in the 1970s.

>>17713539
>Rolex literally CREATED the market for luxury steel sports watches that [insert any brand] is currently positioned on.

No they didn't.
Rolex invented the men's wristatch, i give them that. However it was AP that invented the frak watch for a lot of money market.

Royal oak was the first steel watch that costed an unreasonable amount of money designed to be a conspicuous piece of male jewelry with a garish design so that the people could tell from a distance that you're wearing the expensive watch.

Rolex prices went through the roof quite recently.

>>17713539
You're not wrong.

I think part of the reason so few Rolexes actually get posted here is that when an anon buys one, he realizes that he can stop. He doesn't have to pretend that a watch "collection" is a substitute for a personality. He doesn't need to "tick all the boxes". None of that shit.

Of course, there's plenty to be said for sticking around for schizo posting. The watches posted here are almost universally dogshit, but the seething is great.

>>17713545
>it would be nice to have him talk about watches in a video or two
Especially if - like Techmoan does with old audio-visual equipment - James did similarly with more obscure models of watch. As I've learned about so many kinds of video/hi-fi/formats I'd never heard of from Mat, Captain Slow could teach us about timepieces I've never seen before.
