Is this the watch thread?

>>17719187
who here /loom/s?

>>17719199
not me, i'm thinking about a luminox but can't decide between the 3000 and 3500 (7" wrist)

>>17719192
yeah
IT IS

>>17719199
Right here, my dude.

>>17719199
>>17719238
>Anon why is your watch glow in the dark

Give me one reason why I shouldnt buy used watches from chrono24 50% cheaper than retail

>>17719247
It isn't truly *your* watch unless you buy it unworn and give it it's first scratch/ding.

>>17719250
It’s not a woman, why should I care

>>17719247
it's more like 20% cheaper after all the taxes, but you should
esp if it's from a japanese man who keeps their shit super pristine

>>17719252
"Good" reasons are going to be subjective, I see value in keeping a watch from beginning to end without regard to resale so I like the idea of buying a new watch and wearing the shit out of it. By all means buy a watch you like used for cheap and save some money, it's not a bad choice

>>17719247
the main reason is the photos are often deceiving and the rating system is very subjective. i only buy from honorable nipponese like >>17719261

do you like it?

>>17719275
No.

>>17719275
looks too busy, dunno
ugly af

>>17719272
The nipponese are a blessing for watches, they take pictures of every little scratch and mark on the watch

>>17719276
>>17719278
what do you like instead?

>>17719282
My fav AT? Probably the 38mm
Probably the black dial, but the new Summer Blue is kinda nice

what watch is this?

>>17719287
damemeyo

>>17719285
That's pretty nice. Honestly I like the standard AT without small seconds but I really like that ice blue dial.

>>17719247
what kind of shitters are cheaper on the grey market?

>>17719301
Everything but rolexes

I'm going to buy a quartz tank and no one can stop me

>>17719301
Everything omega is about 60-70 off, especially the ones in Japan (talking about brand new ones, used ones are even cheaper)

Haven't searched much else desu, I guess Seikos & citizens since those are JP made

I tried looking at the Cartier & JLC stuff, not much luck desu (unless you're looking for the older stuff, but again, it's not that much cheaper and import taxes will fuck you) Japan have those two brands much

But that's just me scratching the surface of the stuff I like

You can get rolexs but its a bit marked up and import taxes will fuck you, but i guess that's the price to pay to skip the AD dick felatto contest

Thinking about getting this as a daily. Thoughts?

If I really like a watch but I'm not 100% over the fence on it, maybe 90-95%, should I still get it or should I just forget about it and wait for the perfect watch to come along?

>>17719325
I follow this rule personally.

>>17719326
Thanks for the insight. I first laid my eyes upon it back at the start of June and it's been at the back of my mind since. I have a few pictures of it downloaded that I look at every once in a while to mull over whether I should pull the trigger. But admittedly I'm not to the extent of liking it more every time I see it. I just think it's a nice looking watch and it hasn't soured in my eyes.

>>17719329
I think if you at least don't like it less each time you see it that's a sign it's probably the one for you. But if you're gonna have some nagging "I wish it wasn't like this or that" then that probably won't go away either.

any other options for manual wind, small seconds, white dial with arabic numerals, no date, daily beater?

>>17719333
Baltic MR01 checks every box but the manual wind part.

Not the same guy. But if you want cathedral hands watch done better, get Alpinist.

>>17719343
skx was cheaper and looked better than this crap

>>17719367
I really like the design of this for some reason. the price point seems kind of wonky though, 300$ for a watch with no sapphire glass and a crappy bracelet?

>I really like the design of this for some reason.
Because it's sexy and original.
>300$ for a watch with no sapphire glass and a crappy bracelet?

I see it listed for 200$ and hardened glass is good enough.
The seiko endlinks are cursed tho, that's true.

What watches give off androgynous vibes? I normally wear a casioak but its too masculine for my aesthetic, and something like a bracelet watch too feminine

nah, not really. they look much more like a vintage dress watch with that domed crystal and curved dial. DW watches have a flat dial, flat crystal, no numerals... they really don't have much in common except for also looking minimalistic

Me? As always, a WV-59:

>>17719468
Patek World Time. My dream watch.
I'll never be able to afford one so I wish no one else can enjoy it.

>>17719433
Cartier

>>17719471
That is a beut.

>>17719471
That's a cool watch, nice taste.

I really have to be the guy to ask this but help a guy out who has literally never even considered getting a Vostok before. Just stumbled upon a German site that sells Amphibias and I wanted to know whether this one right here can really be viewed as a diver's watch. On the same website, it's stated for other watches that they are diver watches, yet for the Amphibia Classic ones, there is no mention of it despite the 200m statement on the watches. Someone care to provide some insight on this?

https://www.vostok-watches24.com/de/catalog/e-amphibia/990/

>>17719308
I wouldn’t get a daily without a date window, but I’m retarded. Looks fine desu

>>17719476
amphibias are built for water resistance over everything else and they tend to exceed the 200m WR easily

>>17719474
That pic's WV-59 has a different bracelet to what usually comes with it, as per the one I ordered from an eBay seller in Germany (https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/ersatzuhrenarmband)) for the rubber-strapped one I got from another, but variations on a theme are good too.
>>17719475
I like to have the exact time all the time, and this gives me that. Synchronisation signals from Althorn, world time & the usual features one expects with Casios. Function & form that works.

>>17719480
Thanks dude, appreciate it a lot! Just wanted to make sure that whatever watch I buy, I can take it for a swim with zero repercussions. Now I'm just curious how much the delivery fee will sent me back because they're shipping the watches straight out of Moscow

Advice needed. I want to buy a watch to mark an age & job milestone. I find the Santos a little more interesting, but the Rolex feels like a better way to mark the occasion. Thoughts?

>>17719443
There’s no way the bottom right is real
Literally a watch Biff would have in back to the future lmao

>>17719487
Only you can decide what's really best for you. Both are fine watches that will last you a lifetime. You can walk out the store with the Cartier today whereas the Datejust may not be available immediately.
You don't want lume on your Rolex?
pic rather unrelated

Thoughts on transparent G Shock? Yes, I’m aware of the yellowing problem. I think I dig them, bros.

>>17719487
definitely Santos. that particular Rolex is kind of ugly desu, I don't like it with the roman numerals
and if you like the Santos, there is no other watch that will scratch that particular itch

>>17719487
Santos is timeless and will really scratch easily though if that thing's gonna turn you off

>>17719459
fair point, didnt notice how nice the crystal is

>>17719487
Rolex. Always. ESPECIALLY for a milestone.
If you get the Cartier (which is nice, not denying that) you'll regret not buying the Rolex. Guaranteed.

>>17719487
>I want to buy a watch to mark an age & job milestone.
I the ways people try to explain their conspicuous consumption. Just buy what you want at any time for any reason, you don't need to validate your spending. Get the Rolex, unless there is another one you want to buy for your next "MILESTONE".

>>17719498
Yellowed bands are cool but I don't like anal-digitals. Too busy and harder to read.

>>17719487
unless you're like the 1st gen of your family to not be a broke NEET loser, rolex will get you the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people, don't do it

t. did it and realized my mistake the 3rd time the wrong kind of person complimented my watch

>>17719511
i really like the cartier, but this guy got it right. buy the rolex, keep it for life and then pass it on to your kid

>>17719521
What do you mean, blacks?

>>17719523
two italian-irish mutt women (one might have been part puerto rican), and a west indies guy

the only time I've gotten a watch compliment from a black person it was my captain willard

Got the watch I found in my grandma's house working. I'm surprised all it needed was a new battery since it's from 1966. Should I have the dial cleaned/fixed? There's some scratches ON the dial that are pretty unsightly.

>>17719476
>I really have to be the guy to ask this but help a guy out who has literally never even considered getting a Vostok before.
Vostok is the actual watch issued to the soviet and russian divers.

>I wanted to know whether this one right here can really be viewed as a diver's watch.
It literally the watch commissioned by the communist party of USSR for the divers.

The official specs for Amphibia are
>20 BAR water resistance
>Shock resistant balance wheel
>-20- +60 seconds per day accuracy
>30 hours power reserve

What watch would he wear?

>>17719522
>dad... why didnt you get on the waiting list for a GMT Master instead..?

>>17719549
A fitness band.

>>17719549
rolex or omega, probably both but mostly rolex, probably a two tone datejust he bought before they became uncool and then ironic retro cool

>>17719550
>dad... why didnt you get on the waiting list for a GMT Master instead..?

Can you inherit the position on a waiting list?

Rolex should allow the people to trade their list positions and take a commission for the sale.

This is why i don't buy 500 dollar shitters anymore

>>17719526

Pretty happy with the Reverso bros.
It wears well with casual outfits. Cool little watch.

>>17719631
those cuffs could fit three arms

>>17719631
Has there ever been a reverso bracelet? I don't wear watches without bracelets outside of a manual labor context.

>>17719631
I hate how huge these rectangular watches look.

>>17719636
The cuff is folded back. You can see it in the left lower corner.
>>17719638
Yes but JLC sucks at bracelet. Also I don't think a bracelet looks good on the Reverso.

>>17719638

I’m thinking to buy a Rolex (new) from Jomashop. Any advise or has anyone here had a bad experience with that particular site?

>>17719534
>>17719548
Thanks, you guys! I just saw that the delivery times can get a bit weird. Considering that my vacation is in a month, I'll probably wait till after my vacation to order one of those. There's a shit ton of options though, Jesus.

I've come to the conclusion that if you're a normal person, you really don't need more than a single watch. Is this a correct assumption to make?

>>17719667
Yes. Anyway here’s my 11th watch in the rotation. 7A28 RAF gen 1. Gotta get back down to 10.

>>17719667
Normal people don't need or wear watches.

>>17719550
There is no list for backpackers.
Only customers with big spend.

>>17719667
You don't even need one.

>>17719667
All you need is an apple watch or other smart watch. That isn't even necessary but it makes the most sense in 2023 and is an extension of your phone and has actual function. Anything else is a fashion choice. I noticed someone at work checking the time on his phone even though he was wearing a watch. I'm sure a lot of people in this thread are guilty of doing this as well.

>bracelet
Genuine question, what do you Anglos mean by "bracelet"?

>>17719667
Most people would agree having a watch for casual wear and a watch for working and outdoor use is a good idea. That's the idea behind the 3 watch collection philosophy where you need a dress watch, a dive watch and a daily watch. I personally think 4 is a good idea, because it opens up room to have a cheap absolute shitter that you can work out in and bash around and not give a fuck.

>>17719687
Bracelet = metal
Strap = leather (or fabric or whatever)

>>17719691
>a dress watch, a dive watch and a daily watch
weird to include dive watch as a separate category desu. most people have no need for that functionality and just treat it the same as a daily watch

>>17719687
Who the fuck is "you Anglos?"
Who the fuck are you?

>>17719696
OK, thanks.
>>17719699
Who the fuck are you?
French.

>>17719691
>dress watch, a dive watch and a daily watch.
Anon, I don't think "normal" people care about having the "right" watch for the occasion.
>oh, this watch doesn't feel comfortable when I wear it with a dress shirt? I'll just take it off.

>>17719702
normal people don't care about having a watch in general. if you're in this thread, you care.

>>17719698
Specifically having a dive watch can be a good idea if you see yourself going to the beach or falling into the water while you're camping or kayaking or fishing or something. Having a daily with 100m water resistance is a good idea but if there's a chance you'll literally be totally submersed in water you'll prefer to have something designed for that.

Personally my dive watch happens to be a GMT with really high water resistance, so it covers me for working out in the water or as a travel watch. It's good to have a watch that does a lot of things well. But if you're a home body that never swims and never flies anywhere I can understand skipping a watch like that.

>>17719680
If I'm on my computer I check the time there, or if I'm on my phone I use the time on it, if I'm in the kitchen I check the stove. I used to feel weird about it but the watch is just a back-up if there is no other faster way of knowing the time. If I'm walking outside, taking a piss, socializing or relaxing I can quickly check the time on my watch.

>>17719709
>100m
>can't be totally submerged

>>17719709
>>17719714
You can completely submerge a 50m watch from a reputable brand with no worries.

Shitposters detected

>>17719667
You don't need one at all as one anon stated. Watches in this day and age are a mere accessory if you will. Granted, I find having a watch while working out to immediately tell the time during my sets a huge advantage but you can bypass it by taking out your phone constantly as well.

Aesthetics are probably the main reason to own a watch nowadays if you're not a smartwatch casual who thinks seeing every single Whatsapp message on that shitty small screen is important

>>17719723
SPEAKING OF ANNIVERSARIES! G-Shock is celebrating its 40th. It has been underwhelming in my opinion but I'm looking forward to the rumors of the new carbon square. I'm hoping the DW-5040 goes on sale so I can get to gift to someone.

>>17719397
I can assure you, Pit's were based long before that faggot co-opted them.

>>17719741
Majority of people don't wear watches so it's not normal to wear watches. Don't be a retard about this.

>>17719654
Depends on your lifestyle and location. I've actually been in situations during travel where the exact minute matters and that watch would drive me crazy.

If you've ever traveled through places that have proper public transport, like Hong Kong or Japan, the train schedules there are accurate to the minute/second and depending on where you are on the island, missing the train could mean waiting a bit for the next because the stations on the outer edges of the island don't get service as frequently as the stations further in for natural reasons.

Thank you for coming to my travel TEDx webinar.

More people wear watches, thus prove your individual opinion wrong. You do the math. Casio even have calculator watches which are still made by them to this day, so with the fact they're still here, still proving your opinion wrong by they still selling watches to those - that's 'Those' as in the plural - who wear them, I'm sure you can figure out this problem which more than one certain person doesn't have.

Well, you can. I destroy your argument. I can't be the only one who wears a Casio watch every day. Just ask certain people here: what say you, o Casio owners of /wt/...?!

>>17719757
What's the planet thing watch? It's very cool.

>>17719791

always interesting to see people who have no experience in AAVE trying to type out how it sounds in their head, and how it seems to bear no resemblance to how AAVE speakers actually talk

on the same topic they can often do a solid impression of mexican ESL inflection, but a terrible job of mexican ESL pronunciation

maybe what that says is that what standard midwestern-accented english speakers are best able to differentiate is the overall inflection/cadence of sentences, but they fail when they try to capture the nuances on a word or syllable level

any linguists want to weigh in?

It does though. The pressure involved in dropping a watch in a pitcher of water is much different from wearing a watch and swimming and treading water with it on.

>you dont NEED a watch at all
Those who will never touch grass don't at least. They have their computer's clock to tell them when their next delivery of chicken tendies is coming: delivered by someone who probably wears a watch, even a smart one.
Casio WV-59s are smart watches: and not only in terms of appearance.

They're infinitely more smarter than you, that's for sure.

Hello I am interested in the Patek Nautilus 3700/001. Does anyone know where I can still find "A Study of the Patek Philippe ref. 3700 'Nautilus'" by mstanga?

>>17720048
In the internet

>>17720045
Yeah I know, I have a Navitimer. I'm mainly looking for a discount diver. Have a Seamaster.

Thoughts?

>>17720075
I have searched like crazy the whole day. But I cannot find a link to the document, only mentions of the document. I have found some posts by mstanga regarding the dial types etc. but I need more info to better estimate the value of a particular watch.

Yes.
If you don't like it (you won't) just sell it for more than you paid.

>>17720265
Ironically, I just bought a fucking Seamaster on the 4th. Had I known I wouldn’t have gotten the Omega. Oh well. I’ll see which one I like better.

>>17720268
Can't you send it back?

>>17720277
I bought in person and the boutique has a 14 day return policy and I’m one day past that. Not a big deal. I know autismos here seethe at Omega but it’s actually a really nice piece. Don’t mind having both. I’m married so I don’t give a shit, but it’s gotten quite a few compliments from women.

>>17720310
>Seamaster ~15 sec fast because i wore it for about week without resetting it. Gains 2 sec/day
I had an Aqua Terra a while ago and it gained 5 to 10s a day. I tried everything to self regulate it: put it on the side during the night, play with the power reserve... I never succeeded to make it run slower.

>>17720314
>Lol so does my $300 glycine
Cool, how do you like it? Is it the airman?
>>17720317
Damn really? I know that’s probably within spec and ultimately inconsequential but that would drive me nuts. You still have it?

>>17720320
>Damn really? I know that’s probably within spec and ultimately inconsequential but that would drive me nuts. You still have it?
It's not within spec actually. METAS certification is 0/+5s a day and mine was probably +8 on average. I called the AD they told me they'll test it to see if it needs to be sent back to Omega (with a 2 months wait). Sold it on C24 and got a Rolex.

Need some help guys, I’m contemplating buying this vintage Breitling. Does anyone know anything about it? It’s a manual wind chronograph

>>17720360
Looks repolished to me.

>>17719667
Watches are objectively awful. Cunts talk to you about cryptocurrencies, protected cultures want to rob you, you post them on the internet and people call you a fat retard. Collecting things is just a way to try to fill a hole

>>17720360
Try the Chrono24 app, it will be able to identify it with just a pic. It will give you reference number, years of production, etc. Pretty useful.

>>17720024
Good looking watch, I like it

>>17719677

Good physique, bad deadlift

>metal bracelet gets all slippery and annoying to wear on my s0ister perpetual when walking out in the 115f (46 commie units)
>hate nato straps
should i just suck it up or put a rubber/leather strap on it?

>>17720360
Buy a Navitimer, that shit is timeless. Love what Breitling has been doing lately with the Superoceans and all that but their heritage in aviation chronos is unmatched.

>>17720402
Once you buy a good rubber strap there's no going back, especially in the summertime

>>17720406
I have a barton white rubber strap on my fugu that I quite like but I'm not sure if it'll match the style of the oyster perpetual

>>17720012
I don't like the cheap buckle, the plastic case, and the poor legibility. It's very unique.

Breitling aviation heritage is tenuous at best

>>17720425
What is your motivation for buying fakes?

>>17720425
>I think 2x body weight deadlift is pretty good for 6-7 months of lifting

Not particularly

Although to be fair a lot of having a good deadlift is how your body is built

Also fakes are gay

I bought a couple and the shitty movements and little nightly imperfections drove me mad

If you derive joy from them more power to you, if they were as close as the replica forums let on I’d probably have a few

>>17720435
>>17720430
i like watches
i want to wear watches
i owned a gen aqua terra in the past and it didn’t bring me any more or less joy than owning fakes. in fact, i hated taking it with me when i travelled because it was “something to worry about” - the maintenance also costs as much as buying a new fake or two every five years, you have to keep your insurance updated, figure out how to store them safely, etc.

with fakes i can feel comfortable wearing them without having to worry about them at all. if it gets lost or stolen nobody cares.

and the biggest reason: i can have my dream watch collection, or i can have the same collection (in fakes) with an additional $200K sitting in my investment portfolio - that’s an extra ~$7K in annual lifetime income from investments. why give that up to own a bunch of headaches?
literally all of my friends know they’re fakes

>>17720441
>annual lifetime income
U wut?

>>17719670

Don't you think this attitude might be why you don't get bitches?

>>17720465
How can you get $7k per year with $200k? It seems ridiculous.

>>17720470
A globally-diversified portfolio of index funds, 80/20 stocks and bonds
Take the starting balance, collect your dividends and interest income plus sell any shares required to generate a “total withdrawal” of 3.5% of the starting balance. Every year, take the same amount, adjusted upward for inflation.
Going back through history, you could do that without running out of money for 60 years, with about a 90-95% success rate.

I think it fits

>>17720473
I mean if you have $200k why don't you buy some rental properties where you could get like $50k/year from it?

>>17720479
you seriously think there are safe passive investments out there with no risk that yield 25%?
you should ahh… probably take some classes in finance.

>>17720481

once you need your portfolio to last longer than 40 years, the probability of failure doesn’t change significantly for longer timelines. you’re approaching the withdrawal rate for a perpetual portfolio.
