I prefer my Bonds to be of the architect variety.

>>17789419
Live and Let Die is one of my favorite Bond films but I just can’t justify purchasing that watch

>>17789443
The vintage ones are cheaper

>>17789445
I mean, the watches were cool at the time, but they kind of suck ass compared to modern digital watches

>>17789419
Does this color scheme make it too dressy to wear with casual shit? Was originally thinking black but I already have a black watch now

>>17789455
It's literally one of the most universal watches out there, you put it on and it works.

Gift from my father when he was visiting in Japan. I normally wear it to the office with a semi-formal outfit. I like it very much. How does it look?

>>17789673
I love your smooth skin and delicate frame, I could make you into my submissive little femboy.

Oh, the watch looks nice. Not my style personally, but it is classy

>>17789661
I’m fascinated by those that don’t. You people are certainly less conscious, which might not be a bad thing. Have you ever taken an IQ test?

i love the hairless arms. i want to shave all the hair off your body and rub you in vaseline from head to toe. you can be my squirmy little tadpole.

what diver would I be better off getting in a similar price range that isn't chinkshit?

>>17789818
Orient mako, used Orient Kamasu, Casio Duro, Citizen Promaster Dive are some options to look into

>>17789818
That watch is a horribly shitty knockoff of the submariner, arguably just as bad as chinkshit

>>17789818
>>17789823
It’s quite literally chink shit

>>17789822
Second for the Mako. The Mako II was one of my first automatics, bought 7 years ago. I have “nicer” watches now but still wear it at least once a week. Haven’t needed to service it yet

>>17789817
>unfortunately the forecasts for X department are down

>>17789826
This happened to me 3 months ago. Basically they shipped my old position out to a low cost overseas location (Mexico). They re-assigned me to a new position and promoted me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Probably would have been laid off if I worked for a public company tho

>>17789470
do you eat off this plate?

>>17789572
Oh, but I do have one. And it's an awesome watch.

>>17789822
All inferior to the San Martin tbqh

Will my mechanical automatic watch degrade slower if I wear it occasionally and let it stop in between wears?

>>17789836
At least they’re somewhat original, whereas that San Martin looks like an Invitica-tier submariner clone

>>17789838
It's also much better quality than Invicta, really for the money there's not much else that comes close, buying an objectively worse watch because it's "somewhat" original is a bit silly since really in either case /wt/ are going to say
>Couldn't afford a Rolex?
To both a San Martin and an Orient diver.

I just don't think it's worthwhile avoiding the San Martin just because it's a facsimile of an iconic design anon likes, it'd be like refusing to buy any jeans other than Levi 501s, no one cares that much when the design of other items of clothing get replicated due to their popularity.

Something like the Submariner is so iconic, is so widely replicated and worn by people of all backgrounds, it's just pointless to be a stickler for branding. If you have the money for the real Submariner and you wanted something that stands out as authentic and unique (and obviously expensive) then the Submariner is probably the worse watch to buy. Otherwise the Submariner is as much Rolex's these days as regular fit Jeans are Levi's.

>>17789843
I just wouldn’t want someone to ask to see my watch in anticipation of seeing a Submariner, only to be confused/disappointed about not seeing Rolex on the dial. It would be embarrassing, and I would feel ashamed to wear something that is a clear knock-off. I’d rather have something distinct and unique; something that has some originality to it. And if someone wanted to check my wrist, it wouldn’t be an embarrassing moment, but rather an opportunity to talk about a brand/model that person has never encountered before. But hey, to each their own. I’m just trying to help anon avoid future regret

>>17789846
That's fine and that justifies the cost of the real thing to you, but the reality is that no one is asking if your jeans are REAL Levi's 501 and balking if you admit they're actually just jeans from Gap. Admittedly, Rolex want their brand to be more upmarket than Levi and they don't compete with watches that are copying their designs so the scenario you describe is what they want to happen, but they can't change the reality that they've got a really successful design that has been overdone into being a fairly generic design for a watch.

Maybe the scenario you describe is realistic and Rolex's marketing boys have done their jobs well, but on the flip side I just don't buy it that you're going to walk into the skull and bones society to applause and immediate recognition for owning a real Rolex Submariner any more than I'm going to be overwhelmed with instant admiration for walking into the pub wearing real Levi's 501s. They're just basic items of clothing now that will barely be noticed, by anyone but yourself when you look down to see the time or check out your own hot arse in the mirror after putting on your jeans.

What's a good A-11 style watch under $50?

>>17789846
speaking of which .. if i were to get one of those sub reps will it have the new broken by design movement or a normal one and how to tell ?

>>17789853
Even apart from the social context, I don’t want to look down at my wrist and see cope. That San Martin wasn’t designed with the intention of being a good dive watch, it was designed with the intention of being a cheap knock-off. I know this, you know this, and San Martin knows this, which is why they did their best to mimic every detail. I don’t want to be reminded of a watch I can’t afford when I look at my wrist, that is not a feeling of satisfaction. It is just a reminder that you paid money for a knock off. I mean for fuck’s sake, they could have put SOME originality into the watch

>>17789855
Hmmm I’m not sure I can answer that

>>17789853
Though that being said, I'd still say San Martin is basically the limit here, I think moving into Steinhart, Squale and Ginault territory is where people start dropping copes amount of money like the more money you're spending on still-not-a-rolex the less embarrassing it is when actually it's the opposite if you care about that kind of thing, for such mid-range prices you really are spoilt for choice in watches that are genuinely unique and authentic and is just a lack of imagination to want to spend such money on a copy.

If you can't afford the real Rolex Submariner, that's fine, it's a lot of money for again a fairly generic design, but don't try to escape that fact by spending 1/4s the cost of a real Submariner instead of 1/20s, it still won't impress anyone.

>>17789854
Probably Timex Expedition Scout or Camper. Then save up for something nicer

>>17789859
They often do make additions to their watches, I believe their most recent release is a Titanium Sea-Dweller with milsub handset and bezel which is not something Rolex sell or ever have sold AFAIK, they've only just gotten around to using Titanium for the yacht-master.

But anyway, I just don't see it as cope, a Rolex replica that actually says Rolex on the dial when it isn't a Rolex is a cope because you obviously wanted the branding you couldn't afford, you get the San Martin and you're getting the design you want without pretending to anyone you're wealthier than you are, designs simply shouldn't have price barriers, I think it's vain to care so much about branding but I accept that Rolex comes with a price barrier it's customer base are very protective of, so I can agree replicas are sad and pathetic, "homages" though frankly tryhards can fuck off if they think a design should only be accessible to their paygrade.

>>17789859
just get one of their original designs then

>>17789866
I’m not trying to be an elitist, I rock Casios and Orients. But yeah, hard pass on a watch that was designed specifically to be a knock off of a very specific model. To each their own.

>>17789867
Nothing wrong with that

>>17789863
goes to show a sub has no value as a watch

why is casio royale 10 year battery but lf20 3

>>17789868
That's fine, I'm not denying they're copies you'd only buy because you can't afford the real thing, but I just wouldn't tell someone to avoid what is a very good watch just because a watch snob (aka a twat) might presume to comment on it.

>>17789886
To be fair, this makes far more sense than the speedmaster which already had it's marketing gimmick as the moonwatch from a brand everyone knows, Blancpain probably could do with more awareness amongst casuals but at the same time they're going to need to offer more than what they were previously offering for $260 without the caché of Omega branding.

No one is going to be impressed with a plastic, non-water resistant Fifty Fathoms.

is the ORIENT MONARCH MECHANICAL POWER RESERVE a good watch?

>>17789924
Looks less s o i than any Seiko, incluiding GS.

>>17789934
should I use a hand winding watch as a first watch? Or is it too much of a hassle?

>>17789937
I think hand winding your watch is fun. Lets you admire your watch and is an almost meditative ritual. Plus a hand-wound watch has some advantages over automatics that people often forget. Totally a fine choice.

>>17789943
Yeah I like that too, I was concerned it would be more susceptible to breakage.

>>17789944
nah, it really isn't in modern watches

>>17789937
you go to bed you take it off you wind it a little i see no issue autos were a mistake

>>17789886
>>17789901
The point is to get people who aren't into watches hooked. Future customers. Ignoring the fact that you are diluting the reputation of the 'donor' brand.

>>17789740
This deep diving meme is getting ridiculous.

>>17789959
I mean you'd have to be a complete fag to suddenly not like the Speedmaster anymore because Swatch released a plastic toy of it. That'd be like saying Hot Wheels dilutes the reputation of Ferrari because they're officially licensed to make small toy models of Ferraris.

>>17789837
Well yes. It's like mileage with cars. As long as you let it run every month or so so the oils don't gunk up.

>>17789846
>I’d rather have something distinct and unique
So, not a Rolex.

>>17789973
No, you are wrong. Making a vheap plastic version of something once exclusive is the definition of dilution.

>>17789984
>>17789863
Rolex sub is the epitome of the NPC watch, no matter how expensive.

>>17789988
It's certainly not exclusive, they make millions of them.

>>17789944
>I was concerned it would be more susceptible to breakage.
Compared to an automatic that is self winding at all times? How did you figure that?

>>17789973
I own both an Omega and a Swatch and can say you without a doubt you are a dunce

>>17789990
Compared to a quartz or a solar quartz I meant

>>17789997
Oh well then, yes, it is. Any mechanical watch will be more prone to breakage than any quartz watch. But you don't need to baby a watch. Despite how precisely and finely they need to work, they are surprisingly resilient.

>>17789419
newfag here. tell me about bulova, are they any reliable? i've been eyeing one but it's very thin and i worry that it's going to get fucked if i accidentally bump it into something.

>>17790017
They're decent. As long as the watch case is made out of metal and the crystal is sapphire you shouldn't worry about it. Watches get banged up all the time, nothing out of the ordinary.

>>17790000
Thank you anon, I just think that I should get a manual one if I want to have a mechanical watch, or go solar quartz. Automatic are gay.

>>17789992
>>17789987
>NOOOO the speedmaster was special before the plastic toys!
Please, that's both delusional and a pathetic reason to buy a real speedmaster anyway, it's already babies' first luxury watch featured in every "every watch collector must own these watches" videos. They're not exclusive, they're not particularly expensive and you've got people on the internet these days running around claiming they're made in Thailand, a plastic model of the watch in some funky colours doesn't harm Omega's image in the minds of anyone who isn't a tryhard and instead has a sense of fun.

Best mechanical chronograph under 10k? Preferably automatic but I'm mainly looking for good finishing.

model I've been looking at so far :

>Hamilton Intra-Matic auto Chrono
>Longines Avigation BigEye/ Spirit Flyback
>Sinn 356
>Omega Speedy Hesalite
>Zenith Chronomaster Sport
>IWC Pilot Chronograph
>Breitling Chronomat Chronograph B01
>Breitling Navitimer Chronograph B01

>>17789973
I never did.

>>17790042
Speedy, Breitling B01, or a Zenith are all pretty comparable. If you buy used you might be able to get a Blancpain Flyback for about $10k which will be head and shoulders above the rest movement decoration wise but it’s a divisive design.

>>17790042
Under 10k, it's going to be all machine finishing, no hand finishing, so that's all going to be a wash.

Focus instead on how you like the watch's looks and how they fit.
Of your list, I like the Longines Big Eye and the Zenith best.
I like the IWC and the Breitlings least.

You can, however get very good, hand-finished, chronographs for well under 10k, watches that went for way more than 10k when new.
The Breguet Type XX or Type XXI, for example, or some older Glashutte Original chronographs.

Note: despite being hand-finished, you're still not going to be getting that top grade ALS-tier finishing. That finishing is a big reason why the ALS is so expensive to begin with.

>>17790042
I like the zenith ep original 1969

>>17790042

> under 10k

The newer breitling premier chronos/annual calendars are pretty good for that price point. The other anon made a good point with the blancpain as well.

However, I welcome our new Chinese overlords. Pic related

I'm going to Japan today for a 2 week vacation, should I buy a watch in Ginza? Was thinking about picking up the Kurono Tokyo GMT release while I'm there, but I dunno if I want to spend that much on a "literally who" brand

Definitely buy yourself a watch while you're there, i would suggest something unique, like an odd vintage Seiko, but that's just me.

>>17790090

Yes, get it. Their watches look great and if you want something different this is a great choice. Literally who brand wgo cares, are you buying it for you or for other people? Also, if you regret your purchase you'll probably have it sold qyuck fast, watchnerds love their shit.

>>17789419
There's no saving you if you spend hundreds of dollars on an LED watch when this exists.

>>17790099
Ah the funky colored dials with faceted crystals, they're cool yeah.

>>17790042
The Zenith is most interesting out of all those options

>>17789419
I have a sudden desire to watch a bond movie.

rolex waitlist is unironically 3 years in my country. i thought you guys were just kidding but it's real. guess i'm never copping one then. aftermarket prices are ridiculous.

>>17789872
Because god hates you

>>17790173
It's all part of the experience, I'm certain it's intentional because normally failing to meet demand is considered to be a bad thing due to lost sales but the desirability implied by the waitlist, the exclusivity felt when finally receiving the watch after three or more years and the ego boost gained from being able to schmooze your AD into supposedly putting you higher up on the waiting list means that people who desperately, physically need that kind of symbol of their social standing to flash at everyone they meet, crave these watches like a skag addict craves their next hit.

Like these are not the most interesting or beautiful watches ever made, they're not the most expensive, they're sure as shit not rare or hand made so if Rolex wasn't intentionally forcing this consumerist opera over purchasing their watches, you might buy maybe one and move on, or buy an alternative if they ever do suffer supply problems. Instead people cling to the dream of being *allowed* to buy a Rolex.

>>17790095

>>17790118
Problem with the fancy faceted crystals seiko, and to a degree citizen, used for those models are apparently a real pain. They scratch more easily due to their shape and getting a replacement is basically impossible.
Nice to look at, go for high prices, but not something you'd want to wear all the time.

>>17790173
>>17790198
>>17790211
yes it's rolex's way of 'negging' you.

>>17789872
Smaller battery for a smaller watch.

>>17790211
Clearly Rolex can keep up with demand if they're having no such issues keeping every watch dealer in every nation stocked with whatever their latest Tudor Black Bay variant is.

I doubt Tudor with it's lower costs, the winking and nudging of the fact they're owned by Rolex and their emphasis on homaging older Rolex models which is very much in vogue these days means Tudor had a smaller market than Rolex does, if anything their market is more broad and yet they still keep up with demand.

It's just a ploy by Rolex, no doubt their investment in developing the Tudor brand in the past decade has been to assuage the temptations of Rolex aspirants to look to Omega for their temporary placeholder watch while they wait for their Rolex. This way they're double dipping on the same clientele (who all eventually decide they hate Tudor once their Rolex arrived), it's genius really.

Further more, Rolex are now also getting in on the grey market themselves since they're making even more off of their ploy than they are and announced some kind of "approved used" Rolexes at ADs.

Chocolate!

>>17790221
>if they're having no such issues keeping every watch dealer
you've just answered your own issue
>where are all the rolex hurr the grey dealers have it all
yeah, because the AD's are all being jews and are making bank selling to the greys
why would they sell to (you) when they can make more money selling to that market?
I don't know how rolex solves this cept by just running their own boutiques worldwide like AP does
harder to do

>>17790095
Plastic parts in the movement be warned

>>17790227
Not a problem if he buys the proper PRX: the 35mm quartz.

>>17789481

>>17790214
Yeah that is a problem, i agree. You can still get it replaced by a normal flat crystal, they still look good, but you lose on the uniqueness and it's not original anymore.

>>17790214
How much would it cost to have another one custom made anyway? It can't be that much, can it?

>>17790234
You'd have to order minimum 1000 of them. Maybe more, so it will not be cheap considering the firms that do this only know how to do flat or maybe domed.
Cut glass is always more tricky and expensive.
If it was possible to do cheaply, there'd be aftermarket fixes by now like with certain spare parts.

>>17790198
As an example, in the US, what is the price difference between a basic Submariner from an AD vs one from a grey market?

>>17790238
go to the rolex US site, look at official price
go to chrono24, look at NIB current sub from verified pro dealers not private sellers
compare the price

>>17790236
Nah, just go to a glass maker or whatever they're called and have one made to specifications. Shouldn't be that hard for them to make one.

>>17790241
example from rolex website…

>>17790247
aaaaand the markup at jomashop. damn thats wild lol. so then what does one have to do to get on the waitlist? make a downpayment, or full payment?

>>17790245
It's impossible anon they will laugh you out of the workshop but not before grinding glassdust in your eyes for even daring to ask something so stupid of them.

>>17790248
Joma's not a good guide since they don't actually have any watches on hand like that. They go out and try to source one if you're dumb enough to try to buy something like this from them.
You have to go to places like chrono24 for prices for things taht are actually available.

>>17790248
yeah i think ill just get a seiko solar diver instead

>>17790251
Hmmm, chrono24 has a similar submariner, mfg’ed in 2005 but unworn, going for $8,492. Can’t use this as a definitive comparison though because I’m personally not sure if there have been updates since 2005. Would probably want to get it serviced right off the bat, so the price is actually a bit higher

>>17790198
My thought process is, I like watches, I could get something else around the same price point but rolex comes with lowering the difficulty level on fucking bitches and impressing normos so why not

Im gonna see if my moms friend who works at an AD can get me one but otherwise I won’t bother because I refuse to sign up for some kind of cuck list where I have to play a retarded mutual masturbation game with the AD to get them to take my money

>>17790261
if you have a rolex and you don't look the part people will think it's fake

Uncle got me these from a charity shop, £30 for both. What we thinking?

>>17790259
Uh, that's why you look for the latest model NEW IN BOX unused.
The fuck are you looking at prices of a vintage model to compare to >>17790247?
That's just dumb.

My personal grail, even though it is basic bitch. But the blue/gold colors match both the US Navy’s colors as well as my college’s. Also, I was actually an IRL submariner

>>17790249
Why? They're a business, they offer services and products, for a price. How hard can it be to make a 30mm diameter 5mm thick piece of glass with a few facets on top of it?

>>17790272
If they can do this for 15$ then why can't they make a flat one with 8 facets?

>>17790263
The Mondaine is cool. The other one needs a new crystal and possibly a light polishing and it'll also look good.

>>17790263
The right watch is pretty damn cool

>>17790261
I have heard of lending out your girlfriend to the AD but I have never heard of anyone letting the AD fuck their own mother to save a couple thousand on a watch. That's a new low, even for you anon.

>>17790274
Because they made 10,000 of those but it's not worth their while to retool all their machinery to make just one special snowflake watch crystal. It'll only be worth their time and hassle if you bulk order from them. A one off thing will cost you more than the watch did.

what's an homage that doesn't have a stupid textured dial or is a $500 quartz

>>17789962
I want one just for the meme, but its like an inch thick. The Kalmar slim is actually pretty nice looking and only 12mm thick with a 3km rating.

>>17790300
I will try to find a glassmaker (or glazier or whatever) and ask them how much it would cost to make a crystal like this, just out of curiosity.

>>17790263
The one on the right is a world timer. Very cool.

>>17790316
I mean it's impossible to even go to that depth here on Earth, might as well start making hydraulic press resistant watches at that point.

>>17790313
too big for your wrist, tacky fake gold, quartz lel

>>17790316
looks like it has an absolutely insane lug to lug though

Honestly /wt/ never bottoms out with just how retarded some of the anons posting here are, it's also dead when Americans are asleep and when they're awake they're always calling each other poor.
All this leads me to believe is that the American middle class are monstrously overpaid because I really don't doubt that in America someone can be on like $200K a year and not realise that a glass ball on Amazon costs $15 because it has been made in bulk where economies of scale apply. Or think "probability" is in the realm of logic instead of mathematics.

Yes I am seething, my fingers are crossed that the bubble will burst in my lifetime and the Rolexes and Omegas getting flaunted ITT have to be pawned to their new Chinese yuppie overlords to afford the most meagre of fast food burgers.

>>17790313
What is this, 45mm?

>>17790321
Pretty much why I don't wear it. But the quartz is a plus, not a minus.

>>17790323
>Yes I am seething
Just get a Seiko or Citizen and laugh at the shitshow, don't join it.

I can't even read the time and I don't care

>>17790327
42, I think? They announced the 36mm like a week after I bought it.

>>17790338
Ouch, lesson learned.

>>17790338
big prx is 40mm I think

>>17790322
I have an 8+" wrist, it would be fine on me. Site say it's 53mm and 42mm wide.

>>17790344
I don't think you can learn a lesson from that, that's just luck.

>>17790336
gross, hope you get AIDS

>>17789843
O bought a 62MAS San Shartin homage with sellita movement because the japanese jews sells their closest to the original version at 4000e+ and it has a cheap 6r on it and not even the size of the original one. I don't regret it, it looks like a nice watch.

Best watch I've ever owned

>>17790362
For me it's this.

>>17789863
>Steinhart
I like the Apollon quite a bit, comes with a few different color bezels to swap out.

Lemme show you how you wear a 40mm PRX

>>17790373

>>17790374
When I was heavier it looked like this on my wrist. I lost weight and now all my bigger watches look silly.

>>17790373
Talking specifically about their Submariner copies.

which one /b/

Different angle. It's big, but not really too big.

>>17790374
>>17790383
Welp /wt/, who wore it better?

>>17790385
I own the gold one and the other guy has a bigger wrist and it looks better. I just think I'm bad at taking pics.

>>17790268
There's nothing basic about two tone sub in my opinion, it's a great watch to aspire to own.

>>17790379
Right for me, but that's nitpicking already.

>>17790379
right obviously

>>17790379
Left.

>>17790173
you can always get a fake

>>17790379
Left is just way more thought out and aesthetic. It has all the features at the top, the complications at the bottom, and the logo centered. The right is just like "fuck it," and the location of words means nothing and is too asymmetrical.

>>17790226
>I don't know how rolex solves this cept by just running their own boutiques worldwide like AP does
and this is why they just bought Bucherer

>>17790374

>Clearly Rolex can keep up with demand
clearly they can't, otherwise you could walk into the shop and buy one. or do you suspect rolex to have a secret bunker in the alps where they store thousands of surplus daytonas?
>but tudor
tudor is a different company with their own manufacture and which sells way fewer watches

the whole conspiracy shit is retarded. you can't buy one because they don't need your money. they just spent billions to do an old friend of the former boss a favor.

>>17790505
>>17790221
they are capable of keeping up with the demand, but choose not to, as it helps their long term strategy of building an exclusive image.

>>17790111
I don't care if I could get a better movement for the same price, I want my watches to look good. If anything, it will be easier to service.

>>17790332
make that interesting vintage jap
modern nip is trash bar very few exceptions

>>17790523
I don't buy that that's their goal.
They've been exclusive since the 80s.
Their name is synonymous with luxury watches because no pleb's ever heard of patek but they do know rolex.
They don't need any more fame and I think they're realizing that this will begin to bite them in the asshole if they don't get the dealers under control and I have no idea how they do that beyond what they already do in sending undercover "buyers" to greys to catch out official AD's that have been selling exclusively on the side.
Rolex's building of a new factory seems to address the supply thing, but it won't address the bottleneck: the dirty sellers who do hoarde mountains of daytonas etc., in their safes.
Watch that guy roman to get a tiny glimpse at how it is behind the scenes and they're swimming in steel sports but (you) won't get it at retail because the official ad makes bank getting cut from the greymarket.
Unless rolex shake up their entire world wide AD network that they've built up over the past century, it doesn't matter how many units of X they make and send to ADs if the only avenue it can get to the customer is waylaid by opportunists. And all the AD's are opportunists nigs.
>>17790420
Buying bucherer is one thing, but that's one network in the entire world of rolex AD's that need reining in.

Does Seiko or Miyota make 3rd party day date movements? If so, why aren't any microbrands using them?

>>17790583
>Their name is synonymous with luxury watches because no pleb's ever heard of patek but they do know rolex.
yeah, that's not a mistake. you know how omega has that 'lame' feeling when directly compared to rolex? that's because anyone can just walk in and buy any omega they want.

>>17790583
If i was an AD id milk normies of this hype train for as much cash as I could get away with too

>>17790379
it's 4 left 4 right, who will break the tie

>>17790460
>>17790461
Love my G-SHOCK and prx too and I wear them swimming or doing sporty things but I gotta have my Rolex for every other scenario.

>>17790323
>All this leads me to believe is that the American middle class are monstrously overpaid because
No shit. They literally get 10 times more for doing nothing because their "country" i.e. globalist multinational illegal imperial army steals everything from everyone else.

>>17790590
>that's because anyone can just walk in and buy any omega they wan
okay can you get a snoopy for me, Ill paypal you the money

>>17789924
sexo

>>17790523
so you do believe there is a secret bunker with all the daytonas? or are you seriously suggesting they have a billion dollar assembly line operate significantly below capacity?

>>17790505
There are literally bunkers of “used” like new Rolex watches across the globe. People make an entire livelihood scalping these trinkets and hoarding them for the right buyers.

>>17790590
But it's always been like that to a degree.
Rolex has had this status for decades and back then the only barrier was how much you could afford. Up to 15 years ago you could take all the steels sports you could pay for. Their perceived status among the consoooooming public was already tops. It was the apex amongst the masses. As far the average npc was concerned the Swiss Time pyramid ended at rolex. You could walk into an omega ad, or a rolex ad and the only determining factor that separated which you bought that day was which you wanted and which you could afford. And still Rolex was viewed higher than Omega. So it's not simply the current attainability problem that gets people frothing at the gash for one over the other; it's something that's been built up since the quartz crisis aftermath.

The current situation has just made the distinction more stark, but there was always a difference in "status". I don't know how omega could ever turn it around, not now. They've been trying since GoldenEye and it's basically impossible now.

I would literally suck a dick for a new Rolex right now...

>>17790642
you'd probably suck one for free

>>17790644
fair enough...but what about a whole month of sucking, I probably would deserve at least an Explorer by the end of it?

>>17790642
Who is this again?

>>17790651
I guess you're just going to have to keep giving free blowjobs to find out.

>>17790379
rights have twice more things written on it, so it's the alpha choice.

>>17790642
she got paid like $500 for that scene and she’s attractive. you’re going to have to find a lot of cocks to suck ugly faggit

>>17790362
Best gym shitter that I have, I wear mine almost daily

>>17790697
G-Shocks are about as alpha as the Japanese get (culturally) nowadays

Neat.

>>17790697
Surprised they use tattoos in advertising. Isn't that pretty taboo in Japan and associated with Yakuza?

>>17790723
They have it both ways. They recognize the style as being distinctly Japanese and revere it as such, but also frown on anyone actually getting such tattoos.

let me guess, you need more?

I want a high quality automatic daydate but I don't want to pay the down payment on a house to get the Rolex, what are my options?

>>17790731
excuse me?

>>17790733
Vintage daydate.
1803's are pretty cheap now.

>>17790734

>>17790733

>>17790733
Just get a Weekdater.

What, pray tell, are your "nice" watches?

>>17790760
I don’t spend a ton on watches because I’ve fathered multiple children (they come first), but I have a nice vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille (excellent condition), Tissot Visodate (before they added that ugly lettering on the bottom of the dial), Hamilton Khaki Field, G-Shock Full Metal Square, and a few Orients (Mako, Bambino)

yeah i’m not going to Mexican prison because I stabbed some faggit while defending a watch

>but I have a nice vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille (excellent condition), Tissot Visodate (before they added that ugly lettering on the bottom of the dial), Hamilton Khaki Field, G-Shock Full Metal Square, and a few Orients (Mako, Bambino)
Yeah, you needn't have had to worry. The Mexicans might be animals but even they know that stealing that shit isn't worth the effort.

The rule of thumb is that they typically only steal watches that have a resale value.

>>17790750

>>17790769
Yes. Yes you are a bitch.

Correct. They are often overpaid. When your country litrally exchanges your printed paper and digital money for other countries physical goods and your the "reserve" then yes.


Think of it this way. Everyones playing monopoly and the US just rocks up with bags of monopoly money and gets to be a player AND the bank.

That'd be a fake.

your existence on this earth must be one of misery. buy another watch anon, it will help you feel better!

Why does it have a GMT bezel without a GMT hand? Why did you waste your money on it?
You must be American.

I'd love to know where this meme got started? Like, what brainworm conspiracy rabbithole intersects with watch appreciation?

>>17790943
I’ve heard it multiple times on here and in youtube comments that cheap and poorly engineered movements aren’t even worth the time/money/effort to repair, so they’re often replaced instead. It could be a complete falsehood for sure, but I don’t have the answer

>>17790946
I've heard multiple times here and elsewhere on the internet that pegging isn't gay. I guess that makes it true?

>>17790967
Gonna need to find some Omega owners to confirm.

>>17790967
If the movement can be purchased for, as an example, $100, then it could very well be rational to replace it rather than service it, depending on the amount of hours it would take the technician to complete his service. So the logic is certainly there for cheaper watches/movements

>The aggressively dressy 40mm Presage line has been out for a while and has never been the most value oriented of Seiko's affordable lineup, but last year Seiko released a few lady variants of these at 34mm, hitting a desperately unfilled niche for small wrists.
haha

>>17790943
It's been long known that mass brands like TAG and low tier swatch just swap out your movement for a fresh one rather than bother to service your exact movement unless it's chronometer rated.
I suppose following on from that it's a fair assumption that a shitty chink brand would also just replace the movement. Parts get recycled. You get a "serviced" watch

>>17790090

>>17790252
These people are going to have serious buyers remorse in a few years. Rolex has only ever gone up because of the boomers. Once the boomers all retire or die these overpriced trendy watches will drop at least the base models. Then again there's no shortage of suckers so who knows they could keep the overpriced scam going for several more years.
There's literally no logic in a "Rolex" being 25% - 30% more than its sister brand "Tudor". Tudors are on par quality wise with high end Seikos and Omegas. Hence Rolex are an utter waste of money at the current price point.
