/fa/ - Fashion

So yeah, I'd like to know what's a respectable location and type of accomodation for someone to live that they can show to someone on the internet without them thinking you're a chav or a favela monkey or whatever, what do you think? How big does a penthouse in Florence have to be for example to not look like poverty housing on the internet? What if you're not in a major world city, do any cities outside of capitals of their respective countries even count?

Bros, it's happening again.... I'm looking at watches I can technically afford that would put me in a really bad financial situation if I bought them

>>17728476
If you can't afford 10 of them you can't afford 1.

Fuck a whore instead, the memories are a better investment than most other fields.

I know /wt/ won't like it but God damn do I love VC master complications.

Chronographs or Divers?

What's up, friends?
Today I have an important meeting, so I'm wearing my "important" watch with all the other stuff to match. (Pen, cufflinks, briefcase, etc...)
Needless to say, I'm happy because every time I check the time, this gorgeous lady makes me smile.
>end blog post

>>17728499
I'm kind of played-out on both, but there are some nice dress chronographs out there that I like, like the JLC Master Calendar Chrono.
I don't think there's any dive watch out there these days that interests me.

Doing pretty well, here.

By the way, here's a little tip for next time. Before you hit post, ask yourself why anyone would give a flying fuck about anything you've posted.

>>17728505
That's why you get a quartz chrono

>>17728505
You can time a steak with a diving watch
It's actually more convenient than a chronograph.

>>17728507

Same.
If I wanted a watch with a rotating bezel, I'd go buy an old Rolex Thunderbird.

>>17728501
What's the "other stuff"?

>>17728531

>>17728496
This kind of watch does nothing for me.
Sure it's nice and it takes a crazy amount of time to assemble... but it's too much.

Now the American 1921 or the 222... I look at these and say "shit, I want one".

Why is the dial offset like that? Looks weird as fuck

>>17728074
to be honest omega is junk that should be in the same price range as tissot or longines or something like that. i think some people take watches too seriously and get outright offended by omega. i mean, they make ridicilously thick watches because they insist on using a movement that is by any measurable metric inferior to the ones you can find in watches which are less than half in price, that are prone to sudden failure, near impossible to maintain and service independently so you rely on omega customer service which is not the greatest, then there are horror stories about poor jobs when watch is sent for service, it being returned with dust and grime inside the case when it was clean beforehand etc etc
also, im sure some of them are trolls who dont really care, but exploit the fact that omega fans and owners, at least those who post here, seem to be very insecure and whiny.
personally, im in the i dont give a shit group. im only slightly offended by how trash omega is, but i still fall in IDGAS group because i find their watches to be really repulsive looking. similar to IWC, though their crime is making the most washed out bland and boring watches ever. i feel the same way about baseball, canada, conflicts in middle east, all of sub saharan africa... you get my point

It's a reedition of an old watch. There are various interpretations of why the dial is tilted but the most common one is it was used by drivers who found it more convenient to read the time that way.

But the truth is, it's just some gimmick.
Just like the Reverso. No polo players ever wore one of these.

>>17728568
I just like the brands, I have a Rolex already but sometimes I don't feel like wearing it.

i fucking love mother of pearl dials, why are there only like literally three watches with them?

>>17728588
>Also how are the government contract Marathons?
Overpriced for what amounts to a Chinese made watch masquerading as Swiss and thus charging accordingly.
Reminder that if you see images of special forces around the world, frogmen, even regular infantry 9 rimes /10 they're wearing a g-shock of some kind. If not that it's a garmin or suunto. Nobody actually wears a "govt contract" watch in this day and age. Certainly not those maratac. 100% marketing gimmick for ripping off boomers who want to larp.
Most infantry are wearing gps garmin because they're more retarded than ever before and get lost on their own bases.
A digital quartz watch with no moving parts is more durable than an analog quartz which is in turn more durable than a mechanical watch. Guess which kind is worn by larpers and which worn as an actual tool by those that need one.

Why would you even want to buy a current gen Rolex when the movement has so many reported problems that haven't been addressed in 7 years of production? Look for a GMT with a 3186 movement instead of letting your AD assrape you for the opportunity to buy defective products

>>17728825
Very jealous of the watch, but not of your fashion sense. Seriously how can you think of wearing a watch so thick with a dress shirt? It'll never slide under

LUXURY WATCHES are a completely modern fabrication created after the swiss watch market was destroyed by cheap quartz watches that were in every way better than what the Swiss ever made.
>babe we're going to be late to meet my parents
REMEMBER when I told you about how the "quartz crisis" was actually the "quartz revolution" before the swiss lied to the world? To survive the swiss had to go from making the most advanced technology available at the time to making luxury priced antiques. This is where the lesson on economics I gave you earlier comes into effect.
>sir, red or white?
TO UNDERSTAND the current swiss market you actually have to go back to when the United States and England were the biggest watch markets in the world before swiss mass produced cheap watches destroyed the American and British markets...

I own a Rolex GMT and a Daytona but don’t like to wear them daily because gray market prices are obscene and I would be furious if one was stolen. Usually stick with the tank or seamaster.

What are some stylish watches that have ultimate legibility?

I am regarded and when a watch doesn't have the hours and minutes written out it takes me a short while to tell the time. Not long but it doesn't truly feel effortless. I also dislike busy dials with, for me, unnecessary markings like the tachymeter.

>>17729247
>stylish
subjective
>legibility
objective
what makes a watch legible was codified during the inter-war period by various national military governing bodies
they universally include
>black dial
>white numerals and hands
almost always coated in some kind of luminescent material
there's some leeway in replacing the numerals with large indices, such as in the 50's as with the Blancpain FF and Rolex Sub and onward.
if you disregard the modern iterations of the above, because there's always some fucking nog that'll go
>hurrrr they're not stylish
you're not left with much
"field watches"
again
>hurr not stylish
you're going to have to be more specific with what you want
legibility is easy: dark dial, light lumed incides and hands
that's what makes shit legible
everything else comes extra
what is your extra?

>>17728716
What happened to the lugs?

>>17729247
imo the ultimate stylish legible watch is the rolex explorer but the stowa marine is pretty nice. do you want modern or classic design? stowa also does a bauhaus watch (or you could just buy a braun)

>>17729070
kamasu or mako 3 (orange dial)

>>17729264
i understand a lot of research went into it and black dials are the most legible under field conditions but i've always found white dials easier to read. i can't do dark mode on computers either

Better go tell the makers of every diver's watch ever since the 1950's that their watches have shit legibility. Also go back in time and warn the MoD, the DoD and the Luftwaffe that they're all gonna be in trouble because their instruments have shit legibility.

>>17729403
It doesn't unless it's a perpetual calendar. It always goes to 31 so you have to set it yourself every two months.

>>17729391

If LVMH were clever they'd split off Heuer into a separate brand again that makes classic, high quality chronographs and go all in hard with racing and sports affiliations if they must. TAG can fuck off and continue to make aquaracer shitters and other fashion crap.

>so you're telling me your hobby is watching Youtube videos about luxury watches you can't afford, and arguing with strangers online about which brands are the best...?
there is no argument, its ROLEX

>>17729560
this is the final redpill watchcels dont like to admit. If its not a rolex, literally no one cares

got first watch how do i know if it's 6am or 6pm? i am setting up the date and not sure if it's 6am or 6pm because then if I set it wrong, it will switch date at 12 pm and not 12 am

>>17729574
either buy $150 seiko solar watch or buy a rolex
this is what i am gonna do. I bought a seiko solar watch which is indistinguishable from grand seiko until i can afford rolex

>>17729580
The date changes at midnight, not midday. That's how you know.
I can't believe so many retards online can't figure this out on their own.

>>17729591
that anon did say it was his first watch

One watch worthy?

>>17729594
That's not an excuse. The date always changes once you pass midnight, whatever the device you're using to tell the time.

>>17729597
Get a Reverso, not a Memerso.

>>17729602
But it is a Reverso

>>17728430
>that's a cool watch
>10k

maybe Seiko could do something with this design

>>17729597
>>17729605
White more versatile imo

>>17729605
Pic related is a Reverso.
Yours is a failed experiment that was quickly abandoned by JLC.

>>17729618
Don’t care simple as

why did soiko kill skx reeeeeeeeeee

>>17729337
When I was 18 and got into my dream college, I went into debt for a GMT Master II. Don't regret it at all.

>>17729620
It looks like shit and you'll have buyer remorse in less than 3 months.

>>17729620
not recommended to buy that one. anyone who cares enough to recognize it's a JLC will also recognize it's a pos.

>>17729624
Going into debt for a Rolex is "okay" as you can still get your money back by selling it.
Doing it for a fucking gold Sneedmaster is beyond retarded, that piece of shit loses 50% of its value the minute it leaves the store.

>>17729431
Point out the things you believe are wrong with this one. Genuinely curious.

>>17728430
>> Your budget
under 200€
>> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
any but dress
>> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
non-automatic
>> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
not Casio, lightweight
>> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
any non-metal
>> Wrist size or desired watch size
small wrist

>>17729540
This would be one of my grails if it was 38 mm.

>>17729633
This was a decade ago when reselling Rolexes wasn't really a thing.

>be normalfag
>save up for rolex/omega/etc
>feel confident/successful when you wear the watch
>be millionaire
>wear literally fucking whatever
>still be a millionaire when you take the watch off

>>17729626
This. Buying the crappiest version of something just for the brand name is never a smart idea. The thrill of seeing the name on your wrist is quickly replaced by the realization that it’s not actually the watch you wanted.

Lmao Rolex prices continue to fall every quarter. Scalpers and resellers on suicide watch.

>>17729613
imo black is equally versatile
black is also big dick energy

>>17729585
>seiko solar watch
eco-drive is better solar tech
if you can find a citizen you like the look of, get that
solar is their speciality
leave seiko to mechanicals since citizen beats them in all forms of quartz

>>17729623
I bet they'll do a reissue in a couple of years.

>>17729574
I think the final final redpill is that people don't really care that much even IF it's a rolex.
only other dudes/watchfags even notice

are the F-91W sold in Japan made in Japan? I know the ones sold in the west aren't

>>17729574
Rolex, Royal Oak or Nautlius
everything else is cope for incels

>>17729675
oh no the poor scalpers only get 20k instead of 30k for that watch they bought for 10k, how can they ever recover?
literally every single steel Rolex is trading above MSRP

>>17729720
The only watches that everyday people really ever notice are gold watches or really crazy watches like Hublots.

>>17729540
Nice, how much for a fake?

>>17728732
I-I'm just looking to buy a new watch. Once i've bought it, i'm done.

>be skilled watchmaker
>doesn't wear the watch that he built
>wears a Rolex instead
kino

>>17728430
Recommendation request
>Budget is sub-$100 USD
>Not really looking for any style types in particular
>Quartz
>I want a date (although having day of the week would be nice) watch
>Strap is irrelevant, I will swap it
>I am a wristlet so I'd like anything with less than a 40mm dial size

I just want something well made and feels good desu, I don't care about brand, I don't care if it's from China, etc.

How did Rolex do it bros?

>>17729774
why is he wearing a minigolf carpet

>>17729789
Rolex started as a marketing company that sold watches. By the time the rest of the industry caught on it was already over.

>>17729776
Pic rel often is 120, but if you wait for sales it should go under 100 easily. I think it looks amazing for the price, is small and has a date

>>17729765
Im beginning to think that the perfect collection is 1 nice stainless steel watch (sneedy/any rolex) and 1 gold watch to flex on the poors

>>17728430
Just got this for 260 euro. I'm loving it. Just wish it was actually yellow irl instead of orange/bronze.

>>17729811
Pretty much, yeah.

>>17729811
Any collection is perfect when you find yourself regularly wearing every watch you own on a regular basis.

>>17728501
Post pen and cuffs

i really want this watch brehs

>>17729821
Disagree. Eventually you’re just consoooming because buying shit has become a replacement for having an interesting personality.

Get something nice and then stop.

>>17729834
No

>>17729812
Looks clean, at least orange makes it legible, I'm not sure how easy to read it would be with yellow. I've been looking at the 2023 Q3/Q4 watches coming out, specifically the EcoDrive 365.

>>17728430
Fuck bros I just got pink eye. What the fuck do I do?

>>17729847
Buy a Rolex.

>>17729847
just buy a rolex

I just got one of those french navy straps and it is way more comfortable than a nato strap and holds the watch head on my seiko down nicer

>>17728496
Are you supposed to wear that thing backwards?

>>17729489
>What's a good one-day-per-week internet job that gives about $1k per month? Any good business ideas that can be fit into a single day and don't take up your time the rest of the week?
Well /wt/?

>>17729861
This kind of watch isn't really supposed to be worn.
You buy it, show it to your rich friends and then put it in a safe.

Last week I went to the Rolex store in the GUM shopping mall across the street from Red Square. I saw an all-gold Day-Date in the display case and I asked the sales lady with big fake lips how much it costs. She said 7.5 million Rubles. I silently started calculating the exchange rate in my head, then started smiling and trying to hold back laughter. Then she and the two security guards started smiling and trying to hold back laughter. Then I turned around and walked out of the store.

>>17729846
This looks cool, i like it. Not my style so i wouldn't wear it, but i bet lots of people will.

>>17729864
What I do as my side gig is as follows:

Since the age of 18 I have been building up my credit score. I currently have a credit score of 816. I have 36 credit cards and I try to max them out to invest. I dumo huge sums into a riskier stock or even a crypto currency if I'm feeling lucky and I rotate the debt onto the other cards for a couple months until I've made a decent sum and am ready to repay. Pay 0% in any late charges or interest and have made $22000 in this week alone. You guys should try it sometime.

>>17729872
I forgot to mention that the Day-Date had a black dial with diamonds on the dial.

>>17729875
*dump huge sums

>>17729828
It's a lot more meh in person when compared to the Shunbun.

>>17729247

>>17729811
Condense that into one watch

There's not a single good looking Seiko.

>>17729549
$280

>>17729881
don't people say that about the snowflake? i doubt the winter would be underwhelming in person...

>>17729825
Is pen collecting autism? I would like to have a nice pen but I’m concerned I’m gonna lose it. Usually just use pilot g2s

>>17729909
I saw one of these in a jewelry shop window as a child in the mid 90's. It's always been stuck in my head. I tried the chunk mcfat version a few years ago but that was a travesty.
Problem is, it's not the 90's anymore and twotone is incredibly dated. I can't even remember seeing anyone wearing a twotone rolex out and about these days cept fat, old boomers. Which I suppose I am becoming.
Shit.
Maybe I should just buy it.

>>17729974
I don't like two-tone watches but I think that one looks good.

>>17729974
>fat
>old
>boomer
3 for 3, I need to go to my AD

>>17729913
You mean on sale today? Could be. There are plenty of good looking vintage ones out there though.

>>17729940
>Is pen collecting autism?
Yes. Worse than watch "collecting".
It's only collecting if you're going the vintage route and restore your own shit; buying cheap, modern and easily available plastic crap in droves does not make a collection. It's just another accumulation like a drawer full of shitter watches.
If I could liken pen shit to anything I suppose it might be akin to the freaks that buy more than one mechanical keyboard. Like pens and watches, unless you're a weirdo, you only really use one keyboard, pen or watch at once. Okay pens there is some case for multi use but you're probably an artist or something in that case so it's a tool not a unnecessary trinket.
Unlike watches but like keyboards you can tailor your experience to exactly how you like it, and there are so many variables; with watches it's just "strap or bracelet". The pen/paper/ink triumvirate can be customised for whatever task or predilection you have going. There's some fun in that.

As with watches, and keyboards too I would suppose as I'm not into that shit, buy one pen and stick with it and use it for everything everyday. No more. Beyond that leads to mental clutter and ruin.

What’s the difference between this and options trading on margin? Seems insanely risky.

>>17729812
The cooler PRX

My current everyday watch, sent it in to Tag to get fixed. Tag Heuer Carrera 1887 - the watch has Swiss externals, and Japanese internals made by Seiko. I believe it’s discontinued, but you can get one used for around 2.5-3k Can’t recommend it enough, but it is quite large so if you have lanklet wrists it may not be a good choice.
