What does this mean? Crown diameter or just the dial ??

>>17773318
Case without crown.

>>17773319
Turd-or not only won't get you noticed, it's fucking ugly and poorfag cope for an Aqua Terra or Seamaster. Give me one good fucking reason why one would buy a Turd-or over an Omega, except being poor. ONE.

>>17773318
Case diameter without the crown.

>>17773320
Thanks anon

>>17773318
yes it's a 36mm crown, happy screwing

Have watches been solved? It really feels that way, and it seems like they solved it very early on in the earlier half of the 1900's. The old timers really thought of everything.

Are there any polaris copy's other than the bryzen?

>>17773323
kek I can tell you're the sperg who shits his pants whenever someone says IWC doesn't make in-house movements (they really don't).

>>17773330
Who the fuck wants a watch named after a trashcan the size of a small national park?

>>17773329
It’s a very clever complication. Wouldn’t surprise me to see others ripping it off in the future as a watch with chronograph functionality without the cluttered dial appeals to a lot of people I’m sure.

>>17773329
Why?

>>17773344
I still think it lacks an alarm for the complication to be really interesting and useful, but it would probably make the case thick as fuck.

>>17773346
To cook my spaghetti

>>17773320
>>17773324
>>17773327
Is this it? That's outrageously small even for my 6.5 inch wrist.

>>17773338
Brycen? Citizen annoys me so much because I know they have watches called Brycen but if you google brycen you find a million watches they make that they call brycen that aren't even close to the same watch. It almost wouldn't be out of character for them to make a watch name 1 letter different just to add to confusion.

>>17773329
>parmigiana flewaway
lmao

>>17773349
36-39 fit 6.5" pretty well

Any good counterclockwise watches?

>>17773338
How large in diameter are the eco-drive movements? They almost refuse to make watches under 40mm with rare exceptions still being over 38mm. It's either a huge movement or they are making a conscious choice to produce dinner plates.

>>17773358
The bm8180 is 37

>>17773356
I can say with confidence without looking that there are not.

>>17773349
Try one and see for yourself.
I have a Submariner (40mm) and an Explorer (36mm). Both have the same dial diameter so they kind of have the same "wrist presence".
Also what really matters is lug to lug imo. I would never go above 48mm from to lug to lug but I can go up to 42mm in diameter easily. I know it's hard to understand for raging retards with a strong small dick complex (there are dozens in these threads) but diameter doesn't tell much about how a watch will fit your wrist.

>>17773350
pic related

>>17773370
What's your wrist circumference?

Wearing this today, I still think it's really cool

What do you think about this ?

>>17773366
>bm8180
I guess it's a conscious choice then. Too bad it's a pretty unremarkable field watch. So Citizen wants you to wear a little modest watch in the field were legibility and toughness might actually matter, and they want you to wear big 42mm dinner plates to dress up and meet family and colleagues in well lit rooms.
>also it has mineral crystal.

>>17773350
>>17773373
The model in particular is the BM6929

>>17773385
i don't.

>>17773382
That does look really cool. It's non-magnetic? are the springs made of magnet resistant material?

>>17773385
I wish they made this watch in color motifs other than green felt pool table and "what if voldemort was a delta force operator" edgelord shit.

>>17773378
No fucking idea mate
They’re average

>>17773389
I have no idea, but it has radium lume, it's all stainless steel, came originally on a pigskin strap and is a post war era watch from the late 1940s with the cross of Lorraine on it.
I still have the original strap in my watch box too.

>>17773330
I know right. I am going to start my own after no one was able to recommend me some good looking affordable watches.

Look at that abalone

>>17773423
Oh yeah. what movement are you going to use?

>>17773430
no idea yet but mechanical and swiss and handwound only.

>>17773432
Interesting answer, are you thinking of an ultra-thin design?

>>17773439
well as a wristlet i think watches are too big and i would keep them 38mm max. I would also make them as thin as possible but know that having to use off the shelf movements limits how thin you can go especially with chronographs

>>17773430
That's the biggest problem with designing your own watches. If you only have access to get a couple different movements and have no ability to modify or put modules on them in any way, there's only so much you can do with your watches. If you use Miyota movements your watches are going to look really similar to every other watch that uses miyota movements - They're all going to be within the same range of diameter and thickness, they're all probably going to either have 20mm or 22mm lug width because it's almost stupid to use any other lug width, they're all probably going to use the same or similar bracelets if you use bracelets, you're probably going to use screw down crowns because everyone wants them... I'm basically just describing every microbrand watch at this point. Every microbrand watch with a date window at 6 o'clock you already know is using a miyota 9 series movement and probably has every feature I just described. Just about all you can really play with is the dial and bezel colors, dial material, and what you're marking on the dial and rehaut and bezel. Everything else is almost in stone.

>>17773425

>>17773455
I'd been a while since you dusted that one off, have you been alright?

Is Eberhard a good brand? I like the scientigraf

>>17773445
>>17773449
I would start with a very simple movement. My first watch would be one with an integrated bracelet, following the trend, but it would be more of a dress watch with an integrated bracelet. No screws, no industrial shapes, something like a Vacheron 222. It would have a Clous de Paris bezel, a simple dial like a vintage Calatrava with a double index at twelve, dauphine hands, and a bracelet similar to the 222.
37 mm or 38mm diameter about 8 mm thick.

>>17773425
>>17773455
I like islander watches but just hate the logo. Marc seems attached to it either and won't change it. But it just looks cheap.

>>17773464
If you're going to dick ride trends like every other watch company does wtf is even the point of trying to make unique watches?

>>17773464
What movement are you using that you could get down to 8mm thick? I guess it's safe to assume it'll be on the fragile side and not very water resistant.

>>17773468
I would do it with good taste, also I would not make a sports watch, but a dress watch. My work would be a dress watch with an integrated bracelet. I would also like to make a watch that subtly contains various geometric shapes. The case would be octagonal, but the bezel and dial would be round.

>>17773467
What should it be?

Step 1. Buy a Casio
Step 2. Don't buy another watch unless you need to attend a fancy event which requires a suit (which you won't because you're either neet or a workfromhome)

>>17773477
so an octagonal cushion case integrated bracelet watch.

>>17772928
what watch is this?

How common are fake soviet vintage watches on ebay? Anything I should look out for?

If you wear a watch with a leather strap or NATO

A very simple movement, just hour and minute hands. If Nomos can make his own movement, we can try it too. If we are unable to do so, we will ask JLC for help.

>>17773314
Stop buying gay dress watches.

>>17773385
It's cool but current seiko pricing will probably this is $1200 or some other ridiculous price

I paid 300 bucks for my SARB017 and I won't stand for these scam prices

>>17773425
I don't why people soiface over islander. The logo is so low effort (a clock face on a watch) the designs are cheaper and cruder than aliexpress watches. Who buys this

>>17773470
Asking JLC for some 920s happens to work. Even considering JLC doesnt use it for their own watches, for whatever reason.

Thoughts on Baltic?

>>17773501
Cut out the middle man and buy them direct on AliExpress

>>17773508
???

>>17773486
What am I supposed to wear?

>>17773501

>>17773510
They look like Ali shitters

>>17773499
>>17773490
You sound pretty confident JLC will be eager to work with a bunch of literal whos.

Recommend me a watch, /fa/:
> Your budget
Doesn't matter
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Something more dressy/casual
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Hand wound 24h movement, single hand would be best
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Some basic water resistance would be nice
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Doesn't matter
> Wrist size or desired watch size
8in wirst

Does such a thing even exist?

>>17773518
When JLC sees my sketches, they'll buy the design, it'll be their chance to kick AP out of the trinity.

>>17773518
Maybe not, but maybe at least they send us a little honey.

>>17773525
lets see some sketches anon

>>17773501
Cool watch. Looks sexy.

>>17773515
Not every watch is a cope rolex.

>>17773530
Right now the sketches are inside my head

>>17773537
Do the sketches ever talk to you? What do they say?

>>17773483
It is a modded Casio AE1200.

>>17773501
Is it made in the Baltic?

>>17773546
They say: "You're gay and retarded." But I'm not sure what they are trying to tell me.

Something elegant to wear on important occasions. Neither black nor very bright. Idk if it has numbers or not. Hand wound or quartz. Bracelet.
Budget around $300 but can be higher

>>17773608
Quartz Tissot prx, citizen tsuyosa or a Casio Edifice

>>17773329

Thinking of using some sort of black bundt strap, what type of watch would go best with it?

>>17773634
why not go the whole hog and get a pocket watch and steampunk goggles

>>17773648
>>17773648
How exactly is a racecar driver supposed to benefit from a chronograph? You can't really time yourself because your hands are too busy to start the chrono when you're coming off the line and you can't stop the chrono on your time because you still have to control the car. Is it just for timing your buddies driving while you watch?

>>17773651
Good point anon, that is why I use an apple on my bundt for racing

>>17773314
Thoughts on the longines daytona?
I liked the wing thing on the crown even if it made it more annoying to use, new crownguard is ugly and just looks like even more of a rolex cope

Also it’s kinda a fat watch but the dial is cool

>>17773657
I don't see any point in getting an automatic chrono that isn't a daytona or a zenith. Unironically.

>>17773386
If thing thing had sapphire, a longer seconds hand and a decent bracelet, it would be the best cheap watch on the planet. Maybe one day I'll mod mine and sell the rest of the collection.

A few threads back, somebody was screeching about how rolex 32xx movements have issues because they're single barrelled or something like that. Does the same apply to Tudor MT movements? It looks like they have a long power reserve with a single mainspring as well.

>>17773494
People soiface over islander because it's based. They're way better and more intelligently designed than the usual chinese shitters but still fairly cheap.

>>17773664
>If this thig just had (list of multiple things that there is no excuse for a watch in 2023 to be lacking) it would be good.
Maybe, but it doesn't. So it isn't.

This person is a gay homosexual twink. Possibly a tranny too. Don’t consult it’s opinion on anything because if you follow enough of its advice, you’ll be mentally ill and taking cock in the ass too

>>17773676
Why?

If I were to make a microbrand these are the kind of watches I would be inspired by.

Now my question is: do you think there is a gap in the market or do I just have a super specific taste that most people don't share? These have a practical design but nowadays watches have become jewelry so I understand people would want them to look fancy.

>>17773701
Valid point.

>>17773713
there's an overflow of divers I'd say, chronographs not so much but movements for those seem to be a good deal more expensive so they end up leaving what most people seem to be willing to pay for micro brands

>>17773713
are you the guy who's been obsessing over that braun quartz? if so I guess that's just you bro

>>17773519
A bunch of vintage soviet shitters had 24hr movements, but those are all going to be on the smaller side

>>17773718
yeah its time for ETA to make a new thin, handwound chronograph movement isntead of the chonker that is the 7750

>>17773720
yeah but I just don't like Quartz unless it's a digital watch

i just wish more watches had this practical design you see in electronics

I guess its just my specific obsession

>>17773708
Sports watches make everyone in this thread unhappy. Every sports watch that isn't a Rolex is doomed to be compared to a Rolex (and - let's be honest - be ridiculed). Even the anons who (pretend to) dislike Rolex can't stop obsessing over it.
Dress watches can't be called Rolex cope because Rolex has always sucked at dress watches. They're also widely available on the second hand market and not that expensive. You can find 3 years old Reverso under 5k, old Omega/IWC/Universal Genève under 3k, etc. There are even some cool vintage Vacheron in the 6-8k price range.

tl;dr: Rolex has ruined sports watches forever. If you can't buy one, just get a vintage dress watch, a Tank or a Reverso and be happy with it.

>>17773731
reverso is a sports watch

>>17773740
No.

>>17773745
Yes.

>>17773731
Has it ever dawned on you that it’s okay to discard other opinions and just buy whatever you like? This board is full of autists and trannies, so any opinion should be taken with a huge grain of salt. Personally, I just come here to look at cool watches. That and make fun of dudes wearing women’s watches (<38mm dial)

>>17773382
That is beautiful. Steel case?

>>17773731
I like simple sports watches and hate sports watches that just look like goofy zoomer gadget hour

>>17773731
>Dress watches can't be called Rolex cope
because they are all Patek cope

>>17773713
No I like them too, the Braun is gorgeous. But have you figured out the logistics? It seems to me a herculean feat to set up a company without experience

>>17773731
Everyone is not (you) retard. Nobody else has to like what you like. Nobody gets upset about this non-issue but you.

/wt/ survey time

What is your opinion on replicas?

Have you ever owned a replica? Would you wear a replica?

>>17773833
Reps are a huge cope (tudor levels). Rather just get a homage/ similar style

>>17773657
I think it looks better than the Rolex Daytona. It doesn't the same history of course, but does that really matter to anyone besides autists?

>>17773833
I just don't understand them. Like the point of getting a Patek is the finishing that you won'g get in a replica.

>>17773833
Replicas are only based if you can afford the real thing but choose not to because it's stupid to drop 100k on a Royal Oak or Nautilus. Otherwise you're a total poser.

>>17773833
I’m undecided. I hate ones that try to brand themselves as the real thing, that’s just a counterfeit.

I actually quite like watches that use the same/similar designs but are immediately recognisable as a different brand. Pagani Design is a good example. I like that someone that cannot spend thousands can still get a nice looking watch even if the movement isn’t as good.

This isn't 2020 anymore. Even if they don't have what you want in stock, just put an order in and you'll have it in a few months, tops, excepting the extremely popular models like the GMT-Master II or the steel Daytona, or the rare dial variants.

If you order a common or less-popular model like the Explorer, you can have it in a couple weeks.

Rolex MSRP:
1959 - GMT Master = $240 ($2490 in 2023)
1986 - GMT Master II = $1350 ($3718 in 2023)
2023 - GMT Master II = $10,700

Average commercial pilot salaries:
1966 = $26,000 ($242,214 in 2023)
1989 = $113,556 ($276,414 in 2023)
2021 = $202,180

$240 is .92% of $26,000
$1350 is 1.2% of $113,556
$10,700 is 5.3% of $202,180

I really like this watch (clean face, color scheme, data), but I don't want to buy a Citzen for no reason other than superficiality. I'll also buy a dark brown leather band to replace the black.
Can anyone recommend a $300-$500 watch similar to this, but of higher quality? I'm new to this, obviously.

Why buy a GMT Master II?

For people who want to delude themselves, homages/clones are fine just because you're always going to get businesses who rip-off iconic designs and offer them for lower prices, it comes with the territory of making a good design that everyone wants and many of the Rolex clones aren't half bad these days so you're only really missing the branding from buying either the real thing or a replica.

Nah, all self-respect has already been lost to *need* the branding so badly that you'll either spend many thousands of dollars more on a real Rolex or humiliate yourself by buying a replica. You've got to be coping with something to care about luxury branding that much.

>>17774331
They are hard to find these days desu I've had mine for a couple years. Used to be you could search something like "AAA replica" or "replica watch" and choose among sellers who had decent feedback. They would shop the logos out of their pics but the implication was that they were replicas of big boy brands

>>17774336
This is a cope mechanism of the poor mentality.

>>17773651
You hand your chronograph to your wife so she can time your laps. (And then watch you crash on burn on the tracks.)

>>17774350
I think I can live with you believing that

>>17774347
>If people buy luxury goods they must be coping
Holy mother of cope, poortard.

>>17774320
What's with the print, why is it all crooked?

>>17774365
I know you quoted the wrong nigga. Let it be known imo that if you can afford the real deal then good work out there

>>17774132
Its a very nice watch

>>17774365
If you're so hard up for cash that you're considering either getting a replica or just saving up for the real article (or putting it on a credit card) then yes, that's coping for something. If money is no object then sure why wouldn't you just buy a genuine? But there's no demographic that could easily afford a genuine luxury watch but also considering a rep.

It's people who want a brand name they can't afford, therefore getting a rep or trying to buy a genuine watch you can't afford over just getting a homage of the watch you like and then moving on with your life is coping for something. That brand is clearly delivering more than the watch itself does for such an individual.

I unironically like this, though I'd never buy it.

>>17773805
I really like your watch too, and yea, it's a full stainless steel case which is pretty rare for the time.
someone on a fourm we found said that it was either given to or made available to French resistance members post ww2 and is also why it might have the cross of Lorraine on the dial.
I think it's a pretty neat story if its true or not.
Ive got tudor watch from the 30s that I've claimed from my husband, it's made from a soft metal. I'll take a picture of it when I get home
>>17774094
I like them too, just a bummer some of them have pin lever movements in some of the cheaper ones.

Looking at this watch is like admiring a Vermeer painting while listening to the Well-Tempered Clavier played by Glenn Gould.

How do you unironically avoid feeling gauche for owning a watch that costs more than some people's yearly salaries?

>>17774449
by feeling you earned it

I've never seen lugs like this before, they're kinda weird.

>>17774442
the watch is nice, but your description is fucking cringe, like a little boy's idea of what a "classy gentleman" would do.

>>17774457
Technically yeah but at the same time my job isn't *that* demanding, I enjoy it and I'd really hate to work minimum wage, it's not even like I worked particularly hard at college either.

Perhaps it's not the watch, maybe it's a more personal thing.

Any vintage watch knowers? Opinions on pic related? The dial is stunning im

>>17774480
The price is 370€ shipped btw

>>17774480
Look closely at the numerals, dial is repainted and not very well.

>>17774480
This anon >>17774488 is probably right, it looks repainted.

>>17774488
Good point, but maybe that’s just 1940’s dial painting standards?

>>17774490
It's not. The final stroke on the six is runned down. That shit is clearly done after sale.

>>17774163
Mine is full titanium from Aliexpress. $100 for watch, $100 for case/bracelet.

>>17774497
>>17774489
Thanks, not buying that. Also the description in Italian subtly says it’s not working properly. For the price it’s a POS, even though it looked nice at first glance.

Why did Panerai dropped their bracelets?

Panerai owners overwhelmingly prefer leather straps for their watches. Bracelets were not a popular enough option to keep making them.

Overpriced.

How important is thickness to you? The Seiko I'm after is 12,5mm thick @36mm, is this too much? I'm ordering online and can't try on anything similar

Possibly, but you'd have to find a white American girl to confirm.

>>17774590
Lmao imagine announcing your virginity this way

>>17774601
he's right though

>>17774560
Depends on the watch. If it's more a dress/formal type watch I prefer thinner. General purpose "tool" watches I can handle some thickness. Used to the monster thick cases a lot of people end up using for the NH35 movement watches.

>>17774603
Oof there's more than one, that figured considering the cock measuring contests these threads always have

>>17774606
>>17774560
At what point does thin become too thin for a men's watch?

>>17774607
no rolex?

>>17774608
Big watches that sit tall are a modern fad. There's no lower limit: low profile watches fit best don't limit movement and can be tucked under sleeve.

I'm fucking tired of these threads. Every post is now about gay sex.
Say what you want about Watchuseek, Watchpro and other boomer communities but the people there actually discuss watches.
I just want to talk about watches ffs.

>>17774612

>>17774616
Hmm, nope, can't see anything on topic in this post.

>>17774618
so no rolex

>>17774627
>Tissot

>>17774608
I don't believe there is such a thing, at least not in my book. Thinner means it fits under cuffs much better without hanging up. End of the day there are no rules, despite how many butt-flustered, angry assholes screech ITT and in the "community" in general. It's all up to you and your personal taste. End of the day it's just a watch. It's not that serious.

Recs for something yellow?

>>17774560
Thickness is really important, especially if it's a watch that you want to be able to wear on a NATO strap because a watch that's on the thick side will be even worse with two layers of nylon strap under it. Thinner is always better. The thickness of the seiko 5s was one of the main reasons I decided to look elsewhere for work shitters. Personally I wouldn't wear an automatic 3 hand watch over 12mm as there are a lot of options under 12mm and it just doesn't make much sense to tolerate more than that. That's actually one of the biggest reasons the Daytona is the king of chronographs as chronos are often 14mm or sometimes even thicker while the Daytona manages to be just barely over 12mm.

It has never been good, but the past few threads have been absolutely horrendous. I'm not sure what happened but it's possible we've been raid by /lgbt/ or something. There seem to be a dozen of posters who just won't stop talking about sucking muslim dicks and taking black dicks in the ass. It's fucking weird and disgusting. I hate this place.

>watch design is so bad it makes you burst out laughing

it looks like a mall kiosk watch. also unlegible chronograph function lol

Just like my dad.

is there a slightly less dressy version of the orient bambino w/ a chronograph? I'd like a smart casual watch around the £200~ range that can be dressed up or down with a different strap.

>>17774862
Just buy the rolex.

>>17774870
you got it champ.I'll just give the AD a firm handshake.

>>17774855
It's pretty old watch from the 30s and is a soft metal case, this one is also an old one I claimed from my husband.

should i get a pilot watch? which one?

>>17774875
Everything I said is not wrong. 2021 is 2 less than 2023 and the year is damn near over.

>>17773329
Isn’t it a 12 hour GMT which is borderline useless??

>>17774891
Disregard. I’m thinking of a different model. But still it’s just a more complicated version of what a minute bezel could solve.

So my grandfather used to own this watch. No clue how long he had it, only that he wore it everyday in eternally humid climate (70s - early 2000s Singapore) according to my mother. Family nearly threw it out when he died because they didn't know the value.
I know next to nothing about watches, but I do know how expensive seamasters are. I'm fairly certain it isn't a knockoff, but who the hell knows. Let's assume it's real, how much do you anons think it'll cost to repair?

>>17774895
The back is in terrible condition. No idea if this can be repaired.

>>17774676
shame about the tattoo, very feminine

>>17774898
what the hell happened to the case? It looks like it was dipped in resin then sanded.

>>17774907
god I wish I knew. No clue what my grandad did for a living, but I know for damn sure he wasn't rich. Whatever work he did could've caused it. Most likely it could've been coastal salt corrosion but I don't think steel corrodes like that unless the watch was made from some other material.

>>17774914
the angles are too sharp too. it literally looks like it was put on a belt sander.

>>17774895
It's real, but wtf happened to it? The back looks raped.

>>17774928
good to know, now I know its gonna hurt my wallet more when I go to get it fixed lol. Refer to >>17774914 for my interpretation. I'll ask my mother for more info the next time I see her.

>>17773490
Nomos has serious watchmaking chops (they make their own escapements). You won’t be able to match them

>>17774963
If only they weren't so gay.

They make their watches in a variety of sizes and colors. Their Club and Ahoi lines are surprisingly thin for still having 200m WR. Like you mentioned, they're not just popping Sellitas into their cases.

Of course, if you bought one, you'd never, ever be able to post it here.

>>17774980

I can’t believe longines is doing so well and i really like them, everyone says theyre underrated

I heard the asian market carries them which is kind of gross desu i dont want to wear a watch thats popular with a bunch of chinese and vietnamese

>>17775117
Longines has been popular in China and Japan for a while and now they're starting to regain popularity in Europe with their improved designs. They're also a very decent value and there's not much in the market that really competes directly against them. They still lag a little in the US, but the US is always just a few years behind Europe.

if a screw down crown is unscrewed does it mean there's no water resistance?
