What's better a rolex, or the money it costs?

Post hunting watches.

The only two criteria worth a damn:

Can you post your collection on a willing naked female?

Verification not required.

Can you post your collection on your erect penis?

If the answer to both these questions is no, then you have no right posting in this thread.

>Meanwhile Casio makes a tiny and lightweight watch that runs on one battery for god knows how long
>So all that so you could save 3 dollars on a battery once every 5 years, now thats value

Anon said he likes technology, so here's the cutting edge in power efficiency. It's a cool thing about them, yes i could change a battery once in three years, but it's a cool thing i won't have to.

The swiss cucks are bragging about their 50 and 70 hour power reserves. Well how many hours is in ten years? That's some technology for you, the swiss can't do that.

And even cooler than 10 years are the solar watches. They literally just run for 30 years until they are dead, then you get them fixed and they will run for another 30 until you're dead.

>>17851050
>So all that so you could save 3 dollars on a battery once every 5 years, now thats value

So buy a new battery every 5 - 10 years for $2 or send your watch to be serviced for $500+ every 8 years.

Some g-shock has a heart rate monitor and fitness stacking, but as result you'll have to charge it every two weeks. Do you want a heart rate monitor?


GBD-200 has a really cool MIP display with a very good looking big numbers mode. It's the only feature i'd ever use, too bad the watch is too big for my noodle arms, I almost bought it.

If you need to signal, you don't have the status.

Dressing to part is a part of proving yourself to the superiors who doubt you. If you have to do it, that means your status is beneath the people you're doing it for.

>>17851062
that one, because it has everything anyond would ever want while not having bullshit like bluetooth and smartshit

>>17851079
>the only negative is it has bad battery life I guess
It's solar.

Only the heart rate monitoring g-shocks require getting charged with a charger.

If they make a smaller model or hopefully one day they make an A series digital watch in a steel case i'm definitelly buying an MIP display just for the looks of it.

This is such absurd poorfag cope.

Bill Gates may wear a cheap watch because he doesn't care about watches. He signals his status as hyper-wealthy in other ways like, for example, his colossal house or the extremely conspicuous manner in which he gives to "charity".

Good afternoon, gents.

>>17851070

>MUH STAAAATUUUUUS

Rolex is't status. Rolex is fucking peer pressure.

You know what status it? Status is when you're wearing a bizzare fucking evil wizard robe and everybody has to keep a straight face.

You wear a rolex because you feel insecure without it. Schwabb wears a fucking occultist robe because he doesn't give a fuck.

>>17851097

>for example, his colossal house

Does he stream his house tour on ticktok?
His house is surrounded by the trees so that you couldn't see it. He keeps his wealth to himself and enjoys it privately with his friend Jeffrey who wears a Luminox and doesn't talk much about his island either. That's the opposite of signaling. He HAS the status without having to run around and tell everybody about his house is like a flexing youtuber.

His charity business is a pure money laundering scheme, he's donating his money to himself for a tax return.

Look for the prices on the japanese market and order through a proxy.

The rate of Yen has collapsed dramatically and everything from Japan got a whole lot cheaper since they decided to fuck with Russia.

>>17851126
How do you flaunt a house other than sharing a video about it (which he never did)?

Notice how all pictures of his house are taking with a drone or from distance. He's not flaunting it, he's hiding it.

I wore a Casio A700WEM-7A for my wedding which I bought for the occaision.

>>17851132
NTA, but in his 1995 book "The Road Ahead" he spends a lot of time talking about his house and how it's the prototype of what we now call the Internet of Things.
Making people buy a book and pay to read a description of your high tech house is kind of flaunting, hmm?

>>17851133
The watch is unironically sexy.
I do hate anything fake tho, and tha't fake metal.

If it was made with real steel and mineral glass i'd buy it in a heartbeat for 300$ and absolutely love it.

>>17851143

It's over for this brand.

Do you have any (autistic) watch pet peeves?

Personally I loathe date windows, especially if the watch doesn't have an annual calendar. Don't get why do they have to shove this stupid date window in every watch, even to the cheapest shitters. To add to it in most cases it is the standard white and stands out as a sore thumb.

Everyone should go full Junghans and add a date lcd with a perpetual calendar

Tired of all the Casio vs Rolex faggotry. Just buy both you retarded niggers, they’re completely different watches. Stop being poor.

>>17851221
Day AND date. I want either both or neither. I don't like when it's just the date, it feels incomplete, and a watch without either feels wrong too.

Now a watch with day AND date, just puts a smile on my face, a helpful thing always there to tell me what day it is.

>>17851123
>>17851124

Thank god the Japanese don't know that. Please don't tell them.

>>17851315
that's pretty based but you can apply that to Seiko/GS/Credor too. Most of them. (Spring Drive, Quartz, highest power reserve on high beat watches, Le Zaratsu etc.) And the accutron is actually not as good once you take a deeper look into it.
But I didn't know that citizen was so decently based, I thought they ''only'' did high accuracy quartz watches. The one in your pic is almost comically thin.

>>17851331
yeah that's why soiko puts +/- 20s movements into 2.5k watches

>>17851325

Spring drive is great, but it's been invented back in the 80s. I'm talking about how Citizen are innovating today.

My guess is that the reason Citizen wouldn't make a high frequency solar quartz and instead put those movements into the ugly and obscure Bulovas is only out of respect for Grand Seiko.
They could just dunk on the entire market with all the technology they have.

Look at that >>17851331

>Scott, whom history remembers as the seventh man to walk on the moon and the first to drive the Lunar Rover, was issued an Omega watch for the mission along with the rest of his crew but also brought along the Bulova watch, which was specially engineered to withstand lunar conditions, with a case built to withstand drastic changes in pressure, temperature, atmospheric conditions, and gravity. Scott wore the timepiece as a backup, and even ended up wearing it on the moon after the crystal on his NASA-issued Speedmaster, according to records, had popped off. Scott’s Bulova watch thus became the first privately owned watch ever to visit the moon

DESU they are all dumb. It I was making a moon watch i would have thought about that.

>>17851404

>>17851476
>>17851502
>it is still a WATCH and is FUNDAMENTALLY THE SAME as pretty much any other mech chronograph.

This is where you are making a mistake.
No Sneedmaster isn't like every other chronograph. It's fucking sexy.

Due to it's historic significance Omega preserved the design unchanged and ufucked with. It has almost been 80 years and it still looks like a pragmatic time measuring tool it used to be.

The face of the watch is just so crisp, you can tell this watch is made for telling time and the older it gets the more special it feels. It is a genuine living piece of old school from back when the society was booming and rapidly developing rather than declining.

The only thing the moon landing did for this watch is cementing the design as iconic so that nobody would dare to "update" it.

>>17851509
Mechanical chronograph would cost too much and Bulova is a low end brand now.

>>17851505
Every traditional watch company wap in trouble during the quartz crisis, the lower-end producers probably the most. Loews probably bailed it out, changed strategy etc so the company could be profitable in the quartz-tech era. It doesn’t look like they were in any trouble when citizen acquired.

>>17851518
unfortunately yeah, og bulova was neat tho

>>17851509
>the modern one is the equivalent of a body kit on a corolla

The modern kit uses the precisionist movement which is a high frequency quartz that makes 15 steps per second, almost like their unique tuning fork watches once did. Not quite but in the same alley.

Besides, the only reason the cheese monkeys hate the quartz is because quartz is better than them.

>>17851502
I believe the moonlanding happened but lately I'm honestly questioning what's going on with it because I've been listening to people talking about moon missions and there's a lot of stuff that NASA and adjacent agencies say about it that doesn't make a lot of sense.
>we haven't gone back because we destroyed the technology to do it
Why would you do that? And why couldn't you just build it again?
>getting to the moon is difficult because of an intense and lethal field of radiation between low earth orbit and the moon
Well, somehow we did it before, so why can't we do it again?

It's also known that NASA alters photos and footage that they publish, we know that because sometimes when they've been caught they admit that they altered images but they justified it by saying they don't alter media to hide things, only to make them "easier for the viewing audience to understand." but they do goofy things like turn up the red in photos of Mars to make it look more orange and red than it actually is. How does that make it easier to understand or consume? It's kind of just weird.

There's also that picture that's allegedly from the martian surface that has a rodent hiding next to some rocks.

>>17851527
You know who i never heard that from? The Russian aerospace professors and professionals i studied and worked with.

They'd have the most reasons to call Kennedy's bullshit instead they were working to catch up.

>>17851527
>And why couldn't you just build it again?
It is almost year 2024 of our lord and the Saturn 5 rocket remains the most complex machine humanity has ever created to this day.
Also there is nothing on the moon so there is no point of going there.

>>17851534
Yeah but people working on it wrote down what materials they used to build it, why, and how, right? Examples of them exist to be examined, don't they?

>And why couldn't you just build it again?
The thing that you don't understand is that the human industrial and technological development, education, and probably the actual cognitive ability has declined since the cold war.

To make a rocket again you don't need just the blueprints, you need all of that machinery, operated by all those people who have the experience of having fucked up 15 nozzle bells before they actually got one right and figured out the intricacies of the process.

Possibly, but it also may not be. The soil on the moon is extremely fine and sharp, and gets into the smallest crevices.

>>17851029
I always enjoy your pics, HamiltonAnon. Be well.

>>17851046
why?

>>17851097
Good afternoon, Anon.

>>17851200
Yes: I hate ugly objectively watches.

>>17851354
The great thing is that when I wear pic related, no one knows it's different from a 'mall watch'.

>>17851374
It's awful in real life. You'll be disappointed if you already own a Speedy.

>>17851404
"broke down" assumes a mechanical failure. The watch worked, but the crystal had popped off. You can't use a watch on the moon if the crystal is gone, so you have to use something else. Given that the Bulova timers in the LM weren't working during Apollo 11, and Armstrong's Speedy was left inside the LM as a backup to Aldrin's Speedy which he was wearing outside, it's fair to say that all the tech suffered unexpected issues.

>>17851437
Try it on in person; it's large, reasonably finished for the price, and cumbersome. The quartz movement, while very good, is sad. If they'd made it with a proper mechanical like the original, it would be much more enticing to collectors. With the quartz movement, however, it's just a quartz watch disguised as the original which uses marketing cope to draw customers who can't afford the real thing.

>>17851476
The movement is special though; the original 321s were remarkable not only for their architecture, hardiness, and beauty, but also because they were far more adjustable than their successors, which allowed for everything to be fine-tuned in a way that wasn't possible later on. It's not just a meme...the 321 was better in many ways, but it did require a more talented watchmaker to manage it.

>>17851495
I don't know if anyone here has it. I don't have it, but I do have the first generation of the most accurate movement in the world.
>pic related.

>>17851509
This.

>>17851526
No, it's about fidelity to the original. If Bulova released a Lunar Pilot with the original movement WHILE keeping the current quartz one on the market, it would be a success.

I heard a lot of arguments that the watches aren't being made for telling time anymore, now it's jewelry, status, mechanical appreciation, MUH LEGACY whatever.

Omega made a replica of their 'Ed White' with the original movement. It's possible. Bulova has chosen not to. The original movement wasn't that remarkable apparently; just another mechanical chronograph from the period.

>my mall watch with my old beater 321

anyone know the dimensions of the original bulova moonwatch? I wonder if you could shove a vj 72 into one

>>17851583
The mall watch costs more, right?

>>17851583
As already mentioned if they make mechanical chronograph it will cost the same as Omega which is far beyond Bulova's target audience.

>>17851580
>άσχημα ελληνικά
Well yeah it reads like a translator tool. Buuuut it's obviously very readable. I applaud you m8.

>>17851587
It is 43 mil.

>>17851587
>anyone know the dimensions of the original bulova moonwatch? I wonder if you could shove a vj 72 into one

I wouldn't even try that with a chronograph.
The dimensions between all four dials have to match and the pushers as well.

>>17851543
The problem isn't that they don't know how. The problem is that the money and infrastructure needed to get man to the moon is insane. The 1960s was a time of both A) economic growth at a level previously unseen in human history and B) a large-scale ongoing propaganda war between two superpowers. In 1965, 5% of total government spending went directly to NASA. Can you imagine the backlash if Biden suddenly declared that, in a period of social and economic crisis, 5% of the total US budget next year would go towards shooting dudes into space?

>>17851615
How bad can it be? It's not an Invicta is it?

>>17851588
Surprisingly not in today's market. My 105.012-66, in original condition as mine is, would be around triple the Citizen 0100 on Chrono24. The value of old watches is dependent upon many different factors, but original condition (and how good that condition is) remains the key element that buyers look for.

>>17851590
And yet that could 'pull' their audience up. Consider what happened with the MoonSwatch. I'll say it again: if Bulova created a 1:1 replica, collectors would be interested and the customer who is normally willing to shell out 7k for a Moonwatch might want 'the alternative' for around the same price.

Remember that the only reason that the Bulova 'moon' watch even exists is because Bulova never got the contract to supply NASA, and there was a political push to equip the astronauts with all American gear. The company was encouraged by the government to keep on submitting their watches for consideration, but since both NASA and their astronauts were happy with the Speedy, there was no reason to reassess. There are many examples of later astronauts bringing samples (often paid for directly to the astronauts) from companies wanting their shit on the moon. There was even a scandal involving stamps...but that's another story.

>>17851600
You are as cool; you have an awesome Citizen right there, with an awesome handset to boot.

>>17851606
No, but like here, the subjects are cyclical and boring. There's nothing new to talk about or learn, and since I've stopped buying watches, the concerns on WUS don't interest me much. Are you still on there?

>>17851607
>Well back then there was backlash too, from Niggers. Demanding gibs.

What most Americans don't inderstand, or don't want to acknowledge, is that their military is the last fraying thread that is supporting their prosperity.

>>17851628
That's a fair point...I haven't taken new watch pics in a very long time. One day, when the light is good, I'll try to take some new ones.

What are you wearing today, sobrietyAnon?

>>17851615
Probably, but why would you let that bother you? 90% of the people who post here don't have a watch worth posting and take it out on those who do.

>>17851650
>90% of the people who post here don't have a watch worth posting
Where would you draw the line here? People post their f-91ws all the time. Are those worth posting?

>>17851651
There are dozens of people with Omegas here but i am the only one with AVI-8, which makes me special individual. I think that is worth posting.

>>17851651
My apologies, that was poorly phrased. If you post it, it is worthy. If you refuse to post your watch out of shame, then you are unworthy, and you should save yourself the trouble of solving the captcha and just not post instead.

>>17851656
Watch price in USD that are deemed worth of posting please

>>17851664
Regardless of the price in my opinion the watch must be interesting to be considered worth of posting. Do you want to see gshocks for the millions time? No.

Everything I mentioned before is available on the GW-B5600, the even fading LED, it has an actual DST table, and doesn't have cheap dashes at the bottom. Even if you like the shitty module you can at least get the 5000 and get a symmetrical square shape that is compatible with most square bezels and you get a metal case. Even the DW-5600 has exclusive feature like flash alert and repeat timer. The only benefit of the 5610 is the smaller size for smaller wrists but even women can wear a regular square.

I'd say, 'why buy an ugly watch?'. There are beautiful watches that are less expensive than a Speedy, for instance; lots of vintage, and even modern takes like a Longines Legend Diver or one of those Laco Fliegers. The only dicey part is whether or not the watch is worth less than the cost of servicing the movement.

>>17851816
No, you're not supposed to do things that can affect your hands and wrists with a watch. The older generation never chopped wood wearing a watch, or change spark plugs wearing a watch. They treated their watch with respect, because it was usually something special to them, and they usually had only 1 or 2 of them. If you care for it, it lasts a long time.

>>17851862
There are books that help which you can read to the child, but you can also have clocks around the house and make a game of it. "I bet you can't tell me when 5 minutes are up?"
