Tell me why should I get a speedmaster instead if a carrera or monoco

>>17757631
You shouldn't. The Speedmaster is the ultimate boomer watch. Also moon landing was faked.

>>17757631
I'd tell you to go for the carrera as it really looks good, but that's just me.

>>17757631
Depends on if you're going to time your steaks or time your pasta. They're very different chronographs.

If moonmeme, the old one or the new one with a coaxial?
Which would fit better on 6.5" wrists?

>>17757657
The old one is cheaper and the new movement is not actually substantially better. The old one worked fine for decades.

On a sub-7" wrist, it will fit, but it would look silly on the bracelet. It would look real good on a black leather rally-style strap, though.

>>17757657
WRIST CIRCUMFERENCE IS AN IRRELEVANT MEASURE. IT DOESN'T TELL US IF YOUR 6.5" WRIST IS FLAT OR ROUND.

Truth bombs:

The Heuer 02 is objectively a better movement than the Omega 1861. It's a column wheel chronograph. It's also based on a design from the 70s (maybe 80s) originally done by Heuer but never manufactured until now. That's cool as FUCK. If I was gonna get a second Heuer, I would get the Autavia re-edition with the Heuer 02. The watch is a bit thick yes but it has presence and an spectacular movement.

Subjectively, the 1861 is the moonwatch movement so it will always be viewed in a special way. Having said that it's not the 321 so neither Omega nor Heuer movements went to the moon with Neil. However, the 1861 did go to space many times. It may have also been on the moon, or that was the 861, I don't recall. But they are identical except for the rhodium finish and maybe a couple hours power reserve.

The question is really whether you want a 60s throwback watch that was pretty conservative for its time (Omega) or a 60s throwback watch that was pretty avant-garde for its time (Monaco, arguably Carrera because it pioneered readable chronograph wrist watches in motorsports). The Speedie, was also released as a motorsports timer so it competed with the Carrera, it wasn't released as space travel watch. Remember that.

Now you can't get the Heuer Monaco with the Heuer 02 movement sadly, and I personally don't like the generic movement in such an expensive piece. So your choice would be, Autavia, Carrera 60 year limited edition (fucking expensive), or the Carrera re-edition. The latter uses the same Lemania movement as the Speedie so they are quite similar, and well desired. The limited edition is probably just too fucking expensive because it's a collectors item. I wouldn't pay 8k for it. The Autavia is a nice piece, again, amazing column wheel movement, but it does wear big, it's top heavy and thick, so go check it out before buying it. Out of space so I'll continue in the next post.

>>17757699
>>17757709
Men's watches have traditionally been 34-38mm. Wearing dinner plates on your wrist is a modern trend, driven largely by the Daniel Wellington tier brands.

>>17757671
I have a flat 7" wrist and my wrist width is 2 1/2" 40mm~ watches should be aight?

>>17757615
Bro someone stole your bracelet links... lol

>>17757715
The Carrera is available in several dial colors to suit your needs, it doesn't wear small because it has a non existent bezel, it's totally wearable if you don't have huge wrists. Even a large wrist can wear this piece nicely because it just looks like a vintage watch, not like a modern piece that is embarrassingly small. It really pulls off the 60s specs to perfection. It's a manual wind, same size, same thickness, same look (except a couple trivial differences), highly esteemed Lemania base, just beautiful in every way. Yes I'm biased because I do own one, but I wouldn't own it if it was shit, believe me. I buy expensive pieces. I own the Speedie too, the 1861 with the big fuck off box. It's great, I love it. You can't go wrong with either of these two pieces. Literally pick what speaks to you. If you have the cash, get both, that's what I did.

Don't buy the new 3861 Speedie, it sucks, people are abandoning it and buying back the 1861 big box. Get that one. Get it with papers.

>>17757638
>Speedmaster is one of the best made chronographs ever

>>17757638
Yeah, you're just wrong like >>17757725 said. I'm the guy with Speedie and Carrera. The Speedie has problems. If you are OCD it will be an expensive mistake. The Speedie is loved for its flaws not despite them. Omega have very poor fit on them. I had to spend months until I found the piece that had the fit that I expect on such an expensive watch. All the ones I held had rattling end links. I believe they fixed some of that with the 3861 but that watch sucks so I don't care. Omega are really poor with that, some say it's because bracelets are made in China and I believe them. Modern Tags have a better fit than Omega. I've handled and owned a few Tags, but I stuck with the Heuer for obvious reasons. It's a perfect watch. It is perfect in ways that the Speedie isn't. This is hard to explain. It's perfectly readable because the plastic crystal isn't domed excessively, just slightly. It's got the same movement, same accuracy and robustness. But it doesn't shout at anyone, it just calmly sits on your wrist and tells everybody to fuck off because they know what it is. It has a beautifully engraved 60s Heuer logo on the caseback. It has a beautiful dial with applied markers and so much beauty in the dial, the tachymetre printed inside of it. It's just gorgeous. The Speedie has several flaws that just make it unique, but it's further from perfect than most Tags.

Pick your poison.

There are 2 kind of retards seething at 36mm watches
>fatties larping as Chads
>wristlets who bought a watch too big for their wrist
Also most people focus way too much on diameter like it's the absolute criteria to tell if a watch will fit you or not. It's actually insane to me how people don't understand the importance of lug to lug.

Another thing: dial opening.
The Submariner and the Explorer 36mm have literally the same dial opening. This is why the Explorer 40mm looks enormous on the wrist compared to the Submariner.

>>17757734
nah i paid around $400 on ebay for this model (GMW-B5000). i’m happy with the purchase, it’s the most i’ve ever paid for a non-mechanical watch. i like fucking my wife while wearing it, looks kino. the metal ones that cost $1k+ are made out of titanium and are quite nice

Not very, it's just a thing that happens downtown every year, mostly blues, country, and some light rock.

Why? Are you gay?

>>17757787
1. first you have to make sure to keep a nice gift ready (expensive champagne bottle, cigars, mont blanc pen) to give the sales associate as a thank you. You also have to have a nice tip ready in cash (15-20% min).
2. Once you get to the AD, make sure to greet everyone and spend at least 5-10 mins talking. If anyone asks offers you to sell you something (like womens JEWlery or a turdor, you HAVE to say yes or else they might cancel the sale of the watch).
3. When you finally get around to greeting your SA, present the gift and tip right away. make sure they know you're really committed to buying the watch.
4. Pay for the watch and your SA will bring it out. They will peel all stickers/plastic and size it for you.
5. Lastly they'll take the box, papers, stickers, extra links to the back and say they will hold them for you "for safekeeping" and give you a big wink. (in reality they want to make sure you dont resell right away and you'll only get those back after a year or two).

Make sure to keep checking in with your SA every week or two (bringing coffee and/or small gifts) otherwise they will (((accidentally lose))) the box/papers/stickers/links theyre (((holding))) for you. Enjoy the watch anon

>>17757809

>>17757787
On the first visit to the AD they didn't pay much attention to me, although they treated me politely, they told me that they would call me at the end of the month to show me the piece that interests me. But they didn't call me. I came back after two or three weeks, they told me that the watch had not arrived and they added me to the list. I received the call in just two months. I have to admit that when they called me I was enthusiastic and euphoric, even though I hid myself with a mask of cold cordiality.

>>17757818
i owned this watch for around 4 years until i left it on a plane a few months ago (needed to loosen up strap, took it off to go to sleep). i didn’t really care since i was planning to buy a GMW-B5000 soon to replace it as my large metal digital watch. i just recently saw some metal upgrade mods (on youtube) for the watch and i now regret not going back and getting it because my only gripe with it was the cheapness of the fake metal case

A macro of one of my vintage dress shitters. Not bad for a 62 year old watch.

The links shouldn't sag straight down your wrist but rather wrap around.

>>17757928
That's right but you don't need as much wrap around as that pic. His is fine but that's the largest he should be wearing.

>>17757619

>>17757928

Sorry but that's the truth.

>>17757927
6 3/4 inches

>>17757838
clearly this is your first exposure to mudslimes

Appropriate watch size depends on the style of the watch. Dial size matters too. A diver with a fatbezel can be bigger, a dress watch that is all dial can be smaller, and still look ok. I have a 18cm wrist and i can and do wear from 33 to 42mm watches.

>>17757928
Looks great, gotta agree.

>>17757948
Yeah, and so many modern watches are totally wrong. The classic watches made sense - 34-36mm cases for simple 3 hand watches, up to 38-40mm if you had a number of complications or rotating bezel. The name of the game was keeping the watch as compact and comfortable to wear as possible. Now it really seems like they make watches as big as possible just for the sake of doing it, you routinely see simple 3 hand and date watches with fixed bezels at 40mm and up. There's just no sense to it and it makes the dials look so empty and sterile with so much wasted space.

Explain for a brainlet pls

>>17758066
The dial is called Golden Farts on lake Kakayoko, they took it from Grand Seiko.

>>17757619
I know this is baitspam, but I’ve noticed that a smaller ~36mm watch makes my wrist look huge, and 40-42mm watches make my wrist look smaller. Explains why women can rock big watches, because it makes their wrists look dainty. Similar to how when a girl has tiny hands, it makes your dick look gigantic.
I have a 7” wrist and I think 42mm is the absolute biggest I could go, with 39mm being perfect size.

>>17758076
>Explain for a brainlet pls

The size of the dial itself.
The Sub case is bigger and beefier due to the need for more water resistance and a wide, rotating bezel. But the dial and movement itself is the same. In fact, some early Subs just repurposed Explorer dials.

The 40mm Sub has a narrower bezel, but that means the dial is physically larger. It makes the watch appear bigger than it actually is. (In the same way that Subs are often described as 'wearing small'.)

The ratio of dial width to bezel width can make a watch appear larger or smaller than it physically is. For example, a 35mm fancy dress watch with a very thin bezel will look larger because it's "all dial".

>>17757812
Literally none of this is true. When I bought my sub I walked out of the AD with box, papers, catalog, a magazine and the sales woman’s personal cell phone number. Once I got off my knees and finished eating her pussy they even gave me a second plain white overbag to carry out over the Rolex bag because niggers. But they did tell me that we’re ride or die homies now and that I should only purchase from them in the future. No previous purchase history, gifts, tips, nothing. You guys make a big deal about nothing because you’re autistic and afraid to make eye contact during cunnilingus.

>>17758083
>I think 42mm is the absolute biggest I could go, with 39mm being perfect size.
Yes, that's correct.
As long as you don't go below 39mm you won't be ridiculed for wearing a women's watch..

Why would I care about being ‘ridiculed’ by terminally online lifeless psychotics? Literally just close my eyes and all ‘ridicule’ ceases to exist. There is a strong chance that none of you even exist outside my head.
I’ve never had a single comment IRL on any watch I’m wearing besides “is that a Rolex?” No one who matters ever notices watch size, ever.

>>17758095
Wear what you want my guy, it's your money. Never heard anyone comment on the size of anyone's watch, even proper enthusiasts.

Also, people who are happy with themselves or their own preferences/choices never put others down. I'd be willing to bet this guy is just insecure about something he likes because he's not sure if others agree with him. He's just looking for validation and approval like most other people.

I actually prefer Tudor, Rolex is just a poser brand for faggots with too much spare coin at this point. If your rich get a Patek ffs.

>>17758346
Got a seiko based watch.

Apologies for any grammar mistakes I'm drinking $30 a glass liquor.

Not to hate on IWC but why would I ever buy a simple Flieger from them when I can get the same design and history by buying something like Laco or Stowa? I just don't get the people buying a Mark XX or shit like that. Seems crazy overpriced to me...

To be fair unless we are talking complications I generally feel like IWC is overpriced for what they offer and rather unoriginal.

>>17758356
yes, I also don't understand the point of luxury fliegers. it might be the most blatant case of forcing a tool watch to be something it's not. at least luxury divers usually have nice finishing and shit, but all the flieger dials look the same, no matter if it's a 500$ Laco, 100$ Aliexpress noname or 5 000$ IWC

>>17758356
Because it's a luxury watch and not a mall shitter. Why would you buy a Rolex when you can buy the same shit from a thousand different brands for 1/10th of the price? Breitling has a diver dating back to the 50s. Why not buy a Superocean?

Face it, you buy because it's a statement. You can afford a fucking IWC. You don't care that it cost 10x what a cheap Flieger costs. You pay to see IWC written on your wrist.

Having said that, the Mark series is head and shoulders above shitter Fliegers in terms of build quality, fit, finish, watchmaking. For most of the models they bought ebauche and made it themselves, only later they went with the pre made shit. Also, most Fliegers are boring because they just look the same. IWC did some interesting changes at least.

>>17758367
What movement does that IWC use, is it manufactured in house?

>>17758373
It's an ebauche, bought and then built in house.

>>17758375
>>17758373
Actually I think this was from the time when IWC still modified the ETA in house. They replaced the escapement and other parts... but I always forget.

>>17758367
but with some luxury watches they look the price. if you buy a Breguet Classique, you can show it upclose to anyone and they will say "damn, that looks beautiful and expensive"
I don't get this mindset of embracing brandwhore mentality and "flexing" (as if IWC was even a brand most people know). I will not buy your printed dial slop.

>>17758353
I try to understand who might prefer a Tudor over a Rolex and I can't understand, really, I'm honest, I try, but I can't. who would prefer a Ranger over an Explorer 1? I guess someone who can't afford an Explorer. Same with the Black Bay and the Submariner. Let's be honest, you really prefer a 15mm thick GMT? On the other hand, the 39mm Pelagos seems to me an incredible piece, but to be honest, do you really like the snowflake? the snowflake spoils it, in terms of readability it seems to me an absolute disaster

>>17758382
>you can show it upclose to anyone and they will say "damn, that looks beautiful and expensive"
How is this not true for IWC? The watch looks a little dull in pictures, see it in real life. It looks a million bucks. Everybody who owns one says this, they didn't think it was that special on pictures but then they had it in hand. The thing looks more expensive than watches double its price.

I hope you're not retarded enough to think that more complicated designs look more expensive. The simplicity of that watch is what it makes it look more expensive than some Rolex.

>>17758375
>>17758377
I cannot spend thousands of euros on a watch that has the same movement as a humble micro-brand. For that I buy a Sinn, a good watch much cheaper than an IWC and if I have money, of course Rolex is my choice.

>>17758384
I don't know anon, I love my Tudor and I honestly like the BB58 more than the Submariner. I just like the more vintage character it brings and I love the blue on it. Also I don't want everyone recognizing the watch and at work I would feel uncomfortable running around with a Rolex, maybe it is different in the US but here in Europe people will sometimes categorize you if you are wearing a crown on your wrist. Also around the house I don't mind scratching the BB58 that much, it is a somewhat cheap watch in comparison whereas any Rolex these days feels like an investment piece. I just can't justify scratching up a 10k+ watch doing garden work even if it is just a regular Sub.

Now a stroll around town, nice dinner or even other everyday tasks sure. But when I am at work I prefer to fly under the radar and also during vacations in Barcelona, London or other high watch crime areas I wouldn't feel too comfortable with a Rolex on my wrist because every idiot recognizes them and knows they are all 5 figures at this point.

>>17758397
There is some logic in your post, but on the other hand I am sorry for your insecurity and lack of confidence, I wear my Rolex no matter what people think of me, I wear this watch because I like them. And you know what, to be honest, nobody gives a shit if I wear a Rolex

Post some watches ffs or i'll start posting mine.

I'm almost sure it's an image from Rolexforum. All those fat fucking Muricans Boomers are obsessed with oversized watches. I remember someone on that fucking forum complaining that the new 40mm Explorer 1 was too small.

Forgot pic

was browsing for a nice hamilton to buy and then started thinking of selling my watch "collection" and buying just one simple watch

my collection consists of mostly a few seikos, an invicta pro diver, some casios, a gshock etc, nothing fancy, but was thinking of getting rid of it all except the gshock and buying the golden version of the casio aq230, wanna end this rabbit hole before I start spending money on watches I realistically can't afford + the simplicity of having one watch you always wear

>>17758472
>>17758478
Dead beat second is also really retarded.
>let's built an insanely difficult mechanical complication with no use just so your watch looks like it has a quartz movement

>>17758397
My spare bank account currently has unallocated around $60k in it thats USD. Yeah but I totally can't afford a rolex.

You rolex fan boys are pathetic. If I wanted to buy an Expensive watch I'd save up for a Patek not your overpriced 1 million unit a year junk.

is ISO 6425 certification for dive watches a meme? I like the shock resistance part of their tests cos I wear my watch 24/7 including while lifting

WHY DIDN'T I BUY A SPEEDMASTER FOR JUST 2000€ A FEW YEARS AGO?

I thought the price would be stable since it's would remain in production.

>>17758493
Every modern watch is shock resistant. Has been for 60 years now.

>>17758483
The problem with a collection like this is that it cannot be sold. No one is interested in buying a used daily shiter when you can get a new one for a little more money.

>>17758502
then why did my Longines HydroConquest randomly stop overnight after only 4 years use, now every time I wind and set it, it will only run for a few hours (and lose time while doing so, like 15 minutes per few hours) and then stop again. First non-ISO diver I've owned, piece of shit, my old Seiko SKX779 lasted 5 years and never stopped/broke, just ran maybe 15 minutes fast per month during the last year before I sold it

>>17758491
It's the stupidest post I've read in this thread, what does a Rolex have to do with a Patek? You fucking idiot Nobody cares if you wear a Rolex or a Patek, you fucking idiot. Only some autistic fucking watchmaker will notice it's a genuine Patek, the rest of humanity will think you're wearing a nice DW

>>17758503
Yeah that's true, i'm in the same predicament.

>>17758507
>why did my Longines HydroConquest randomly stop overnight

Ask an actual watchmaker lol. There are people who fix the watches for a living, they have the tools and expertise, could prolly fix it in an hour if you paid extra for a quick job.

> my old Seiko SKX779 lasted 5 years
When you see Japan you know it's quality. Nobody makes things like the Japanese do. Why does anybody respect the Swiss for anything is the real question.
Are the swiss known for making the most reliable cars?
A history of the swiss toolmaking?
Perhaps the swiss consumer goods are known for being the best on the market?

Not even Made In Germany means you get the exceptional quality anymore, but made in Japan does.

Why doesn't he print a new sign? Or better yet, why doesn't he pay someone to make him a proper introduction for his videos?
He makes millions selling luxury watches, surely he can afford it.

My God, in this thread we must have broken some record. It must be the thread with the most idiots on all of 4chan

Oh so you're smart, huh?
Then tell me.

If Japan is known for their exceptional industrial culture of quality, the only thing the swiss are known for is swindling the rich people.

extremely underrated opinion. If my Tissot Seastar 2000 (ISO certified) shits out before the 5 year service interval point I'm switching back to Japanese watches, either a Citizen BN0190 Promaster or Orient Kamasu. Cos clearly it would indicate ISO certification is not why my Seiko kept on going but rather as you said Japanese engineering > Swiss shitters

If you want cheap shit, but with a certain quality, best buy a Japanese watch, that's right.

>>17758524
Nobody doubts the quality of Japanese products, you just have to see the most reliable car lists. But, on the other hand, your contempt for the Swiss industries only denotes stupidity and ignorance

does anyone have experience with Swiss ISO divers? Will my Tissot Seastar 2000 crap out as well with 24/7 wear with lifting/swimming/showering/sauna etc.?

Wondering if any of you nigs have either the above or the other 2 Swiss ISO divers: Omega Planet Ocean Ultra Deep or Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Date/Memovox

You know he's just an employee of Govberg. He is definitely not personally making millions.

redpill me on Swatch, are Sistem51 automatics a meme? Or should I get one of their quartz shitters?

oh my god, have you seen the Citizen dial made out of a sheet of paper! The Japanese are so subtle and elegant. Damm! How ridiculous are Rolex fans with their gold watches. For much less money you can get a 15mm thick Grand Seiko. I love Japanese culture, they have vending machines everywhere, you can buy used underwear

>>17758532
Didn't GS do something with a torque return system, does that count?

>>17758547

>>17758652
Vario, because it rhymes with Wario

>>17758673
What kind of dumb reason is that? You just change the strap.

>>17758673
this, leather and NATO straps are for limp wristed hipsters and cheapen the look of the watch. Bracelet/milanese are the real Chad options

>>17758715
I don't know why people put the SpeedMEISTER on straps all the time like they've just discovered fire. Most of the options look like shit, people have terrible taste overall. It looks fine on a black leather strap because it can be very dressy that way, but I hate the fucker on anything other than that or the bracelet it came with. On a NATO the thing becomes a bulge on your wrist, it's too thick for NATOs. Yet people cream their fucking pants over it.

>>17758732
I saw a chud put a Seiko SRPH23 on a NATO and throw away the original milanese. Peak autism, ruined a great watch

>>17757796
>>17758741
>on a NATO and throw away the original milanese
based.
the mesh bracelets look awful and horridly cheap, they only belong on the 5$ aliexpress watches.

>>17758772
I will unironically wear a $2 AliExpress milanese before I wear a beta as fuark NATO

Why do all these autists in watch forums like to talk about natos? Is it because they think it sounds cool?

>>17758780
tacticool western cucks that want to pretend they're "in the field" when they're either wagecucking or eating at applebees. truly pathetic

this guy posts a variation of this pic every day in the gshock 'what are you wearing' thread.. i went back a month and he was still posting pics that looked exactly like this.. someone tell him to get a new watch

>>17758780
they have no class and can't dress for shit, so they're obsessed with "dressing down" their watches to make them more casual. for some reason they think that both leather straps and bracelets are "too formal", so they end up putting everything on an ugly NATO

>>17758780
I have a leather nato on my Khaki Field. Used to have one on my Mako II but ultimately went with a perlon. Nato straps are cheap and very safe for your watch if one of the spring bars shit the bed. I used natos a lot more when I only had a few watches, but now that I have a variety of watches only one remains on a nato

>>17758787
>>17758792
I wear my Vostok on nato straps because the bracelet is shit. Most divers look fine on nato.

So I picked up a NIXON Regulus Stainless Steel for 105$ (Found some Cali shop selling at 60% off with a 30% off coupon) and holy shit /wt/ this thing is legit 0.7 to 0.8 lbs.

It feels like my arm is being ripped off by its sheer weight. Whereas I like the watch itself and its tank-like durability, I was hoping for something lighter. Anyone got any digital watches in stainless steel that aren't going to rip my arm off?

>>17757615
Looking for an interesting watch. (It need not be expensive, fancy, or even effay per se).
I’d like some second opinions on picrel

>>17758809
I own a MJW, picrel specifically. I don’t like that the dial is small. I don’t like the shitty Chinese movement inside. You can actually hear/feel the pendulum moving around in it. I feel these watches are highly situational, I only wear mine maybe once a month or so. Although the one you’ve shown looks a little more flexible situation-wise

>>17758809
Raketa released some oddballs back in the Soviet days. The one in the pic, Big Zero, 24 hours, "perpetual" calendar... All can be found for cheap nowadays.

you can exchange nato straps with other nato straps without tools, maybe thats a reason.

Is Hermes actually good?

when did GMT watches become the current craze. I already live here I dont need to know the time twice.

>>17758887
It's brushed metal.
And Raketa prices are supposedly significantly cheaper within Russia. Order from their site and they ship from France. Buy in their storefronts in Moscow or St.Petersburg (or wherever) and it's 30% less? I think. Things might've equalized by now.

Grand Seiko should make a Spring Drive but instead of a rotor that winds the mainspring it would be wound by a motor that would be powered by a battery that would be recharged with a solar cell.

Bros...
A while ago some posted his Reverso Duoface and now I'm completely obsessed with it. I've looked at hundreds of watches and this is the one I want.
Unfortunately I can't afford it. I don't want a cope version either. I want the real thing.
Is it crazy to take a loan to buy a watch? Have you already done it?

>>17758991

>>17758991
>>17759006
Just save up every month and buy it when you have the funds, in this pit of misery you will be laughed at for being poor, but at the end of the day all that matters is that you worked hard for a few years and finally got what you really like. If you later have economic problems you can sell it, a Reverso is a good watch, it is not one of those shitters that are not sold.
Buying a good watch like a JLC or a Rolex or a Patek is not a waste of money.

>>17758926
No it’s much more comparable to bell and Ross.

>>17759006
>I'm young, I work hard
Then work for a year and save up for it. Watches are supposed to be bought when there's extra money to splash, and they should be treated the same as going to a casino ie considered all money is lost the second you step in it/buy it. That way you buy what you can actually afford (to lose) and you can enjoy it fully without a worry n the world.

>>17759016
Don't you have to get them serviced and shit though in order to keep up the value? Surely that should be factored in to future resale value. I have a Breitling that is due a full service but there is no way I am paying for one since it's like 15% of the cost of the watch brand new

>>17758991
>Is it crazy to take a loan to buy a watch?
if you can’t pay cash for a watch, you can’t afford it

>>17759016
>>17759020
Fuck, you're right.

>>17759021
Normally the service is every 10 years, like this with my Rolex

>>17759016
We are not laughing at him for being poor, we are laughing at him for taking out a loan to buy a watch when he should do as you advise: save up and buy it with cash once he has enough. If it’s not worth waiting for, it’s not worth having.

>>17758991
not worth it bro

>>17759045
This is true, but at the end of the day, you lived your life. There are poor people who one day stop being poor, but despite this, they are afraid to spend their money, even if they have a lot of it.

>>17759030
Lol, Breitling recommends a full service every 4 to 6 years at >£600 for a chronograph. I might just get a regular maintenance one so that they change the battery

>>17759045
Based on this image you may as well just kys. Your life is not lived on a global scale, and making nice purchases can change your indvidual life in a good way.

I strongly suggest the one with inverted display. It looks like a solid black dial from afar and the red tip on the second hand looks overall more "complete" than the white of the other models.
Other than that, perfect choice.
