/fa/ - Fashion

Friendly reminder that the American market makes up only 19% of the Swiss watch industry vs 30% for the European market.
Remember eurobros: whenever an Amerilard call you a poorfag, just ask to see his watch. Chances are he's wearing a Shinola.

>>17735086
>Shinola
Good ol' American watchmaking

>>17735082
why is that person wearing a womens watch? here is a real mans watch

>>17735082
Wow I wish they would bring this watch back. I had no idea they made this but it's very cool.

Liberals love Rolex and Tudor and I HATE THEM THEY;RE SCAM BRANDS WHO HATE BERLUSCONI AND TRUMP

>>17735095
Yikes anon.

>>17735082
So you have minutes, hours, day of the week, week of the year, but no date, and two pushers for some reason?

>>17735112
And running seconds, or is that something else?

>>17735088
>No Chinese workers
That's how you know it's not "Swiss" lmao.

I have to be honest with you, I love my Rolex Explorer 124270, but I miss the date function. On the other hand, the bracelet seems too thin and elegant to me, I would prefer a more tool watch bracelet. Although I will never sell this watch, I love it.

>>17735112
>>17735113
Yes. The pushers operate the day and week hands. Weird watch but it's pretty.
The week complication can be very useful (much more than a day complication).

>>17735112
The top pusher advances the day, the bottom pusher advances the week. No date is weird but they only made 150 total. It makes a little more sense in Germany where they use weekly calendars more often in business.

>>17735095
Soi bugmen and chuds alike enjoy Rolex

>>17735119
>>17735120
Ah ok i see. I've seen weekly calendars before, i guess it's a niche thing. The whole mechanical watch thing is a niche thing anyway so why not. It's nicely executed yes, i like the different colored hands to separate the calendar from the time, ALS has done this before.

>>17735119
You can't have a week complication without day complication though.

>>17735082
MOGGED

>>17735105
Biden wears a stupid ugly datejust and you like rolex because he wears them lliberal

>>17735118
You've posted this before.
Maybe the next time you post it someone will give a shit.

>>17735142
Show me your G Shock Funko pop

The nice thing about Shinola is you get a chink movement regulated and encased by true red blood American niggers

>>17735146
Better luck next thread.

>>17735150
No, I'm lucky not to see it

>>17735136
Man, modern Patek sucks :(

>>17735118
The Explorer I is a fucking boring watch for idiots who can't afford a proper Rolex. Fuck off with it. I don't give a shit about its size either.

Watch bros, what NATO strap color/pattern would go best with this watch's dial?

>>17735155
ok, anon Next time I will post a Casio that pretends to be a Royal Oak

If you like rolex then you're probably a cuckhold

>>17735118
>I bought a girl's watch without a date
>I wish it was more masculine and had a date
>Hey guys, make me feel better about my purchase by telling me how great my watch is.
LMAO what a faggot!

I really like the Archie Luxury channel, he is funny, but is this guy crazy? sometimes he screams nonsense, FUCKERS

>>17735169
He's playing a character.

>>17735165
I like Seinfeld too, did you see Jerry wear a Santos in season one?

>>17735118
Buy another watch with those features

You’ll miss the Explorer. Get a datejust or a 40mm Explorer II

>>17735155
Can you afford a proper Rolex?

>>17735165
these threads have the most insecure people on earth

>>17735169
The Pontiff is the most sane guy in the watch community

hmm i think i will buy an expensive ugly watch just to post here

>>17735169
australians are retarded

>>17735197
That's a brilliant idea, the salt and seethe will be endless.

Stop buying sports watches.
We're in the dress watch era now.

fuck I have that exact watch but never wear it lol. I had no idea DJT wore that watch.

>>17735211
ugly ass poopy rolex, any rolex that isn't a sub,or gmt before 2015 is literal garbage

What is the most beautiful Rolex for you?

>>17735220
Rolex watches are not really beautiful. They are well-made utilitarian watches.

>>17735220
Rose gold/olive dial daydate

Is this the watch thread?

>>17735222
Don't have someone with the blue one of these here

>>17735220

i have sex with my rolex box

>>17735220
This is the most beautiful rolex under 10k

>>17735220
A vintage silver or blue dial DateJust on a nice leather strap.

>>17735220
Cellini was cool.

>>17735220
Submariner 14060M
>solid end links
>no date
>no maxi case
Rolex will never top this. The GMT Master II 16710 is also up there, but I have a real soft spot for the agressive look of the Submariner (also I don't like the cyclops).

Modern Rolex:
>Explorer 124270 36mm
>Oyster Perpetual 126000 36mm
I've never liked the Datejust, but the modern one are also good.

>>17735234
GS did a similar thing.

>>17735234
I want an Oyster Perpetual for my Rolex and a GMT Tudor for a GMT watch.;

>>17735251
HOLY based taste

>>17735220
I know it's blingy as shit and not a watch you can wear everyday, but the stick dial ice blue Day-Date is gorgeous.

>>17735186
Yes.

>>17735255
>but the stick dial ice blue Day-Date is gorgeous.
It's fucking gay as fuck. I would give that to my girlfriend.

>>17735220
That's easy.
The Cellini Dual Time, rose gold with chocolate dial. ref. M50525-0015

I want it

>>17735220
Air-King Precision. For me its the most beautiful watch in general. I wish they would bring it back with todays quality.

>>17735249
It’s a fair whack uglier though

>>17735220
Beautiful is not the word I would use to describe any Rolex.

>>17735265
damn that is a gorgeous watch. I'm a Cellini guy but that looks beautiful.

>>17735178

>>17735265
why did every company get rid of engine turned bezels except tudor?

>>17735130

>>17735275
Pain in the ass to make and not popular enough to bother to make them.

>>17735263
it's beautiful but I can't get over that it's not rolex thus it's cope

>>17735158
Blue like that strap. Maybe white for summer, though it'll get feral quick.

>>17735220

>>17735280
>Get a different Rolex
>You now have a Rolex and you're free to buy whatever you want otherwise because you'll always have a Rolex

>>17735261
This is it, yeah.

It's also a nice fuck-you to the JLC's of the world, like "We can make a 'nice' watch anytime we want. We just choose to stamp out anonymous simple steel shitters."

>>17735210
Y?

>>17735283
I want this watch bad enough that I'd rather buy the Rolex TT GMT, as I'd wear it every day of my life until I die

>>17735283
If you get some beat-to-shit franken DJ just to have a Rolex, then you'll still end up coping, because your nice watches will all be cope watches. If you try to play it off like "Yeah, but I still own a Rolex" and then pull out something that cost you less than an Oris, you're just lying to yourself.

>>17735263
Try it on. You won't want it much after that.
It's huge, slab-sided and Planet Ocean-thick.

more purple watches needed

>NOOOOOOOOO BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR A 18MM THICC OMEGUH
I already have a huge white dick, I don't need to compensate.

I can barely tell the difference in material quality between a similarly styled Rolex and an Invicta from a distance. Am I retarded or is everyone else?

>>17735314
The two-tone Tooter GMT is still cope.

The Explorer costs, what, say 7k? If that's the nicest watch you own, then that's your cope threshold. Any watch you buy because you can't afford a watch above your cope threshold is still cope.

Like, if you bought a Bell & Ross instead of a Panerai, that would be a choice, not a cope, because you can afford both.
The Tooter GMT? Yeah, you still can't afford a Root Beer Rolex. GTFO, Aaron Copeland.

>>17735322
>I can barely tell the difference in material quality between a similarly styled Rolex and an Invicta from a distance. Am I retarded or is everyone else?
No. There isn't any material difference. Just nerds arguing over details.

>Tudor

>>17735323
NTA but the gmt masters are the second biggest mugging targets in Europe only losing to Submariners

>>17735321
You can have both.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I MUST KNOW THE DATE

I MUST HAVE THE EXACT DATE DISPLAYED ON THE DIAL OF MY WATCH AT ALL TIMES

>>17735328
Interesting info. That bicolorful bezel really is a signpost.
Assume 36explorers and 36DJ's are flyundertheradar tier?

>>17735332
No Rolex truly flies under the radar. DJs are a more of a target than the Explorer 1 for 2 reasons:
1. you can spot a Datejust from a mile away. The bezel, the cyclops, the Jubilee. It's a distinctive watch.
2. no one wants an Explorer 1

>>17735328
Royal Oak, Nautilus and Richard Mille are probably way more targeted.

Also I remember a story of some nigger in Italy stealing a Richard Mille from an American tourist, and then returning it after realizing it was fake kek

>>17735337
If I had to guess, it's probably based on numbers. Rolex probably makes more GMT-Masters per year than the total number of Richard Milles ever made.

One guy goes to London wearing a Richard Mille, gets mugged, 100% mugging rate, but if that one guy decided not to visit a 3rd world country, now it's a 0% mugging rate.
A thousand guys go to London wearing GMT-Masters, 200 get mugged 20% rate.

>>17735336
>no one wants an Explorer 1
explorer bros... it is over.

>>17735275
Tudor’s bezel is unironically more aesthetic than the Rolex Air King/OP Date

>>17735158
that is very ugly anon

>>17735344
It was over the second they announced the resurrection of the 36mm...with a 19mm bracelet.

>>17735330
Very classy anon.

Any details on that Piaget? It's an Altiplano, right?

>>17734413
>>17734640
i like the look of most longines models, black hydroconquest, zulu time, that one model that patek later ripped off for new calatrava, those that i linked etc. my only problem with it is the price. they are not cheap like tissot for example and as far as i can tell they are considered by most people to be on the same level. now, i never held zulu time in my hand, but i doubt it is a match for tudor blackbay for example, and the asking price is the same

>>17735095

Some fag in Paris walked out of a hotel and was immediately set upon by nogs who were hired to target him. In a flash they slipped off his 2gorillion dollar RM and ran off kenya style. $2M gone, poof, in a cloud of cartoony smoke.

>>17735332
Look up stolen Rolex on youtube and you'll see a lot of them are GMT masters with two colors or Bluesys. They're big, and the rolex logo is the most prominent on those models.

>>17735349
>Any details on that Piaget? It's an Altiplano, right?
Yes. 35mm in rose gold. It has the 430P hand-winding movement. 6mm thick.
I love it. I don't wear it as much as I would like, because everyone works from home so I have fewer opportunities to get dressed-up. It's not a traditional Altiplano with the thin stick indices, but I like the 90s numbers.

You guys are falling into left wing scams buying Tudor Omega and Role

>>17735366
What is the right choice?

>>17735372
Vacheron Constantin

>>17734992
I agree that they are nicer to look even if under the microscope they wouldnt have a smoother finishing. I've been watching this guy lately
youtube.com/watch?v=4Ms2VUGDpbw
and the movements on some of the cheaper old watches really surprised me. Maybe it is thanks to the way it is filmed, but I have found a new appreciation for some of the vintage watches

>>17735373
any particular pieces?

>>17735372
Vintage TRUMP branded watches, or GSHOCKS.

>>17735381
>>17735373
>>17735372
Right politics is the right way. ROLEX is the only Right, and one of the rare right watches in the industry.
Vacheron is as left as you can get except apple watch and omega. The most famous leftist in the last decade wore a unique, 500k, 1/1 vacheron constantan that you can only get by invitation, after spending tens if not hundreds of thousands on their lesser models

>>17735345
Rolex did all kinds of engine turned bezels

Tudor Date Days (lmao name) are great though

>>17735385
This is a false flag from a leftist trying to use reverse psychology. VC is based. You are a jew.

>>17735385
Nope, Biden wears a Rolex hahahah

Got just the thing for you

>>17735395
better than the penith version lol

>>17735390
I'm done I'm selling my Rolex #walkaway

AFAIK the only luxury watch brand that has forced some politics into its marketing is Omega (pic related).
You'll never see brands like Rolex, Vacheron, Patek, JLC or Cartier do woke shit like actively supporting BLM or trannies. Sometimes they'll hire a nigger or a kike celebrity as an ambassador, or support some (((educational program))) in the third world, but it will never go further. Their customer base is almost 100% heterosexual men, and probably pretty right wing. Too risky for the business.

>>17735398

>>17735398
Nope. Rolex donates to global warming causes. They're insane liberals who want to force us into milking vats.

Which pre-Richemont, non-vintage JLC’s are the most underrated?

>>17735403
Coincidentally the rainbow Daytona is very popular in the Arab world.

>>17735405
Pre-Richemont is now considered vintage.

>>17735398
Patek as well

>>17735398
JLC’s rainbow watch is actually pretty interesting at least

>>17735385
>The most famous leftist in the last decade
and who would that be..? Obama?

>>17735398
Looks like only Cartier and VC are safe from the scary rainbows

>>17735082
I’m a couple weeks into having my Apple Watch and I can honestly say it’s instantly replaced all my other casual watches for day to day wear. It’s just so much more functional than a “real” watch. Sorry guys but it’s over.

you literally smell like POOP

>>17735403
>>17735415
>>17735417
>>17735423
None of these watches promote LGBT shit you brainlets.

Those are flex watches with an entry price of $500k. The demographic for these are Saudi prince wives and Singaporean billionaires with awful taste, not marxist trannies from the western world.

The sole purpose of these watches is for brands to show they have skilled jewelers in house capable of customizing watches for eccentric billionaires. The people buying these unironically have faggots hanged to lamp posts in their home countries.

>>17735442
So what. Biden wears a Rolex. It's for liberal cuckholds who dream about gangbangs

It has its utility.

>>17735614
You're in denial. The Overseas has always been third fiddle and always will be. It is just not that well designed (which is why they keep redesigning it while the Nautilus and RO look mostly the same)

>wtff are you retarded why would you spend that much!??!?!

>>17735657
The solution is to lie. If someone is asking you how much your watch costs and you don't know them well then they probably won't be able to handle the truth very well. I literally cannot think of a situation in which it would be beneficial to tell someone how much a luxury watch costs.

>>17735663
>I literally cannot think of a situation in which it would be beneficial to tell someone how much a luxury watch costs.
What's the downside of telling a woman this information if the woman isn't a gold digger?

>>17735667
Depends on the watch. If you're wearing a Patek or a Lange and you tell her how much it costs, her perception of you will instantly change significantly and probably not for the better. If it's a Rolex, sure it's a lot of money but it can be justified as vanity or frivolity. But wearing a $35k+ watch makes you look completely unhinged to 99.99% of the population.

Of course none of this applies if she actually knows about watchmaking but if that was the case she wouldn't be asking the question, she would know how much it costs.

Hey guys just got into the watch scene 20 minutes ago and I'm having trouble getting my essential starter watches

It looks like Seiko has discontinued both the SNK and SKX series watches, is that right? How could they possibly do this? What am I supposed to do now? These are mechanical, don't you understand? Quartz timepieces are for dumb stupid retard gaijin monkey idiots!

>>17735845
They replaced them with Prospex. 5 Sports is for suckers

>>17735845
>What am I supposed to do now?
put your finger in your bum to simulate your first purchase

>>17735848
skx mogs prospex so much it's not even funny

>>17735851
Then why discontinue them?

>>17735315
>Driving your own RR is not cool. You should be in the back seat getting driven while you see how much income you passively made that morning.
Depends on the model. I don't see the appeal, but there are RR coupes.
Only the Phantom and Wraith are chauffeur RR's, and even then some people might want to drive a wraith.

>>17735853
>why would a massive known for its stingy retardation discontinue a superior yet more costly to produce product in lieu of a cheaper, easy to churn out product when the consoooomer is almost always a soi that won't know the difference and will buy anyway because the shittershill circuit online told them to
hmmmm

Every watch I like doesn't exist.

>>17735871
Make them exist

>>17735873
Not him, but lately I’ve been having dreams of making my own watches. I wonder how much a pain in the ass it’d be. I want to carve out a niche of 36-38mm watches of all sorts using cosc certified eta movements

>>17735853

oh no no no noahahah

>>17735689
CARTIER DOESN'T MAKE A SINGLE GOOD DRESS WATCH UNDER 10K

>Tank
For some reasons Cartier doesn't make the large model in steel with a mechanical movement. Mechanical is only available in gold, which starts at 15k.
>Tank Américaine
This one is hilarious. They can't make it "too good" because they don't want it to compete with the Cintrée. So they've put the shittiest automatic movement inside it and have fucked up the proportions. Terrible.
>Tank Française
Same as with the Américaine. The medium version has a quartz movement (5k+€ LMAO) and the large version an AUTOMATIC movement with a disgusting date window (6K+ LOL). Also awful bracelet.
>Santos Dumont
Same story: you can't get the large Dumont in steel with a mechanical movement. You CAN get the steel XL version with a mechanical movement though, but it's 47mm lug to lug which disqualifies it as a dress watch.
>Ballon
I don't even know what this watch is supposed to be. Dressy? Sporty? Smart casual I guess? Anyway it has a proprietary bracelet system, an automatic movement and is 12mm thick. Awful watch.
>Pasha
Same as the Ballon. Automatic, weird shape, proprietary bracelet system, looks weird... Who buy that shit?
>Ronde
36mm only comes in quartz, 40mm has a shitty automatic ETA movement.

Face it: the "real" Cartier starts at 15k with the rose gold Tank Louis mechanical movement (large version). Then you have all the crazy shit from the Collection Privée which are high horology tier, starting at 30k.

Serious question though: why even buy an Omega if you can't get a Rolex? This is the worst decision one can make.
At least buy something radically different like a JLC or a vintage Vacheron, and larp as an "horology enthusiast" or whatever. People will think you're a cunt but they won't think you're coping.

>>17735884
Well yeah if you attempt to tier them by stats like a fuckin robot

In reality the current tank must is about as Cartier as it gets and it costs less than a Tudor

“Bbbbut it’s not a mechanical movement what if the boys at the Elks club make ffffun of me”

You’re an un or underemployed autistic man arguing about watches on the internet in the middle of the night, none of those fantasy situations are ever going to happen to you

>>17735082
Can /wt/ think of any brands that punch above their price point in terms of quality/features/design and are underrated? excluding chinese brands (imo there are tons of chinese brands that do all those things)

>>17735937
All the chinese brands are punching so far above their price point that it's just laughable that people are buying anything else.

The only other acceptable purchases are vintage watches.

>>17735935
shut up cracka

>>17735385
Eppers wore a Vacheron to spite Christians as he sold gentile girls into sexual slavery on behalf of Israeli intelligence as part of an elaborate blackmailing scheme.
I wish I was joking, and that that was the extent of it.

>>17735955
>wore a *FAKE* Vacheron
a really shitty fake too.

>>17735937
For a few select models Frederique Constant (the moonphase with the bicompax layout and the Highlife world timer)

Not underrated per se but the Cartier Tortue

Best looking watch they have ever made and vintage ones go for like 6 grand occasionally. I waited too long to drop the hammer on the last one I surfaced but the next one will be mine

>>17735082
It’s so fucking hard to get a watch with a calendar week complication. For my job I constantly need to know the calendar weeks and I’m my budget I had the choice between the Business Timer and the Meister Agenda. I hate power reserve indicators and I really like moon phases, so I went for the overpriced Frederique Constant. I really like the looks of it though.

>>17735937
It's basically a question you won't ever get an agreement on. Everyone's always buying something thinking they're getting the best value for what's they're paying. Doesn't matter if it's reps, jap enthusiast tier, microbrands or luxury. Whoever buys any of these does so thinking people are literally wasting their money buying any other category.
Truth is watches offer terrible value at all price points. Casio's probably the only exception, but frankly what's the fun in wearing a casio?

>>17735959
I agree about FC, they seem to have an actually creative team and some of their designs are really underrated. Not too sure about that Cartier though, I kinda like the monopusher design but the regular cheap one doesn't look too good to my taste.

>>17735935
Why you sad?

>>17735962
Give some examples you like anon, I won't bully you.

>>17735962
Well said. Watches are inherently a waste of money, that’s what makes them fun. I like your perspective, I have a knee jerk “that’s gay” reaction to cheap “spec monster” watches but you are right, we’re all deriving pleasure from being whatever flavour of asshole resonates with us

What is that?

Rolex is high horology.
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T SAY THAT, MUH HAND FINISHING MUH COMPLICATIONS MUH PATEK MUH VACHERON
Don't care. Rolex is high horology and I won't even bother to explain why.

>>17736001
Casio is high horology. Don't worry, I wouldn't expect you to understand, you're cattle.

Best watch to get my dad under 50USD?

>>17736001
I dare you to use the term “high horology” while talking to a chick

>>17736003
Under 50 isn’t possible unless you want a plastic watch

Honestly under 500 is going to be rough, you can’t give your middle aged dad an Orient Bambino

You’re going to have to get him at least a Tissot

>>17735689
>tank bros
actually, it's "tank sistas".

>>17736003
Casio W218H

Imagine being so based to have two time pieces: a Rolex tool watch and a Patek Calatrava

>>17736014
>What's next? Fake Casios?
there are more fake than real F91Ws

ME LIKEY

>>17736021
This is the final redpill honestly.
Obviously you wear the sturdy Rolex with suits and the dainty Patek with jeans.

>>17735689
I had a Tank Solo but I lost it. I might get a Tank Must at some point. Thinking about going for the small this time, had the large solo

I used to wear it all the time because it was always set correctly. I’m almost glad it’s gone, I’m wearing my watches again

>>17735997
Chalk it up to a blurry photo and a dirty crystal, the sub is very legible.

>>17735960
Neat. How difficult was it to set?

>>17736030
for me it's the combination of small dial, small hands and much text

>>17736032
Oh really? I haven’t had any problems with legibility so far, it’s definitely my favorite out of all my watches. Wears so comfortable too, I forget it’s on my wrist.

>>17736026
Sexy little watch

>>17736026
Crosshair dials are nice.

>>17736042
I don’t like them

>>17736031
thanks! Setting it for the first time takes like 15 minutes, after that you just need to adjust when a month doesn't have 31 days, which is done with a single button.

How did smartwatches have seemingly no negative effect on the watch industry despite being a success?

I understand the top and bottom end being unaffected but I thought smartwatches would obliterate the fashion watch and entry level market that is within the apple watch range

>>17736065
watch snobs, what can u do

>>17736065
Irrepressible need to own nice things (ie vanity).

Smartwatches are tech gadgets, watches are jewelry. People will still wear jewelry in 10.000 years.

>>17736068
well thats what I mean the snobs of course will continue to buy Patek, Omega, whatever but what about brands like Fossil, Tissot etc?

>>17736070
jewerly can be combined though but you can only wear 1 watch if you don't want to look like an asshole

>>17736065
They’re not in the same category. Nobody called fitbits watches, the association created by the term “smartwatch” wouldn’t be there if the term smartwatch never existed. If we called them body calculators or something you wouldn’t be asking this question

Can you refute this guy?

>>17736086
Archie refutes himself all the time. He spent years hating on rolex to end up begging for one. He'll do anything for money and popularity, anything.

>>17736086
the title is correct but closed after seeing the loser talking about it. what camera do you think he uses?

>>17736086
It's true.

>>17736078
>If we called them body calculators or something you wouldn’t be asking this question
We call them fitness trackers. i.e. why no one here talks about their Garmin.

>>17736065
It is a second screen for your smartphone or something you use for fitness purposes. You don't buy one for the same reasons you buy a Seiko or a Rolex.

>>17736087

>>17736112
Oh sorry, so the tittle is "seiko is for losers" by archie a known loser so if her has a seiko he's right, if he doesn't he's wrong. Don't at me ever again.

>>17736115
>>17736116
not an argument

>>17736065
Because it fails at everything a watch should be. Smartwatches are glorified super limited phones for idiots. While a normalfag might buy one, it soon winds up dead in a drawer because who wants another fucking thing to plug in every night? He gets in, he plugs his phone in, but he can still use it. You can't plug in a watch and still use it, you have to take it off, and now you're without a watch for the rest of the night. If you wake up at 2 am, you can't see the time at a glance.

>>17736132
>If you wake up at 2 am, you can't see the time at a glance.
you guys don't take your watches off when you go to sleep?

>>17736086
Gs is for losers.
Seiko is for winners

>>17735105
I've always found gold watches kind of ugly and tacky. Is this a conventional opinion or am I weird?

>>17736160
Pretty common opinion amongst younger people

>>17736065
watches are jewelry, smartwatches are gadgets currently in trend. smartwatches will sooner or later be left out for some new gimmick like pagers did

Let me tell you something, I'm going to be completely honest with you, the people who collect casios g shock are the same kind of people who collect funko pop. So here's some advice, get rid of your collection and stop wearing aloha shirts.

>>17736140
I usually keep it on. It’s not a conscious thing but I’ve lost the habit of taking it off. I did ding my datejust moving around in my sleep which sucks

>>17736160
It was conventional, the winds are changing though

Small precious metal watches is the nascent post integrated bracelet trend

Expect a lot of Cartier homages

>>17736160
>I've always found gold watches kind of ugly and tacky. Is this a conventional opinion or am I weird?

A gold watch on a gold bracelet is considered a bit ostentatious by most people, but a discreet gold dress watch on a nice strap is considered elegant.

Do you agree?

>>17736174
it doesn't look very good so probably

>>17736174
Yes. Very simple case shape, simple finishing. It is (was) meant to be an entry-level model for younger buyers to get into the brand before they had the money to step up to the big boy watches.

>>17736174
Fed is always right

>>17736174
Is this trying to copy gshock?

>>17736160
That’s the whole point, sleaze core is a whole style it’s not a everyday thing but sometimes you just want to sleaze out, that’s trumps whole ass style.

>>17736174
OP here, i think it's meh at best. But the swiss are good at being meh. The japanese are very precise and crisp, the germans very sterile and neat, and the swiss are very soft and unobtrusive. The Calatrava looks so dull and basic, it shouldn't work, but on the wrist it somehow does. It's an odd thing, you can't quite put your finger on it.

>>17736194
What is Swiss design anyway? Does such a thing even exist? How would you describe it, /wt/?

name me a more Reddit watch that is not the Moonwatch.

Word is out that Anthony Farrer had a bag on him with 2 million in consignment watches, went to Vegas, got drunk, gambled and you guessed it, lost the bag somewhere.

>>17736209
Is this fresh news or...? I know he's had some problems in the past. Red pill me on Anthony Farrer.

>>17736021
my only regret is that I have but one wrist (to wear a watch at a time

>>17736209
Wasn't there also another youtuber who had an addiction that swindled some Rolex a few years ago?

That’s the narrative Travis is trying to push

In reality, he’s been selling co-signed watches without telling the owner and spending the money on dumb shit

There’s a non zero chance somebody will seriously hurt him which would be hilarious

>>17735315
>>17735317
He IS the personal driver. Only a wagie would buy that watch and brag in the driver's seat of the Rolls.
