My bad, sorry.

What would be a watch that is not a cope for something else?

>>17862655

>>17862554
that's a man

>>17862655
There's 6 million of those.

>>17862684
6million? That many, really? How could they have made so many?

redpill me on jomashop and the gray market in general

>>17863462
>redpill me on jomashop
Just make sure they have it in stock or you 'll be waiting for a while to get your watch, I've heard their customer service is bad as well. But I got a watch for less than half price from there so I have no complaints.

r8 this watch

>>17863462
Pros: you get the watch for cheaper. They sell genuine watches.
Cons: you are wholly responsible for the watch--no warranty. You'll have to pay to get things fixed if they are wrong. There is no guarantee that they will sell you a genuine watch--other than their 'dude just trust me'
Often the benefits will outweigh the risks, and if you do have to pay to get something fixed you will likely still be out ahead compared to an AD.

>>17863501
Neat, I'm avoiding mechanical watches anyway, but in that regard they don't offer much better deals than anywhere else.

>>17862554
So how hard is it to actually get this? What about a sub date? I categorically refuse to play some kind of mutual masturbation game where I have to “build a relationship” with a glorified subhuman sales wagie so they can do me the immense favor of taking my money. Will just go gray if this is too annoying and my family church friend that works at an AD cant help

Should I cop a Bering watch? It's ceramic with sapphire glass for 40 USD.

the top 2 brands are rolex and casio

That's pretty much what I did.

>>17863521
If you're looking for the one in your picture then chances are it's in stock because that's the least popular Rolex. Every time I step into my AD there's this one and some ugly config Datejust or the stock Submariner, because no one wanted them.

>>17863524

>>17862684
6 million? That number sounds made up.

What is the point of the automatic Prx at twice the price of the quartz one? The reason the Prx is good is because of quality of the bracelet and looks at that price point. Something that makes way more sense at the quartz price. Am I totally wrong here?

>>17863553
I went to my watches of switzerland and some boring ass guy that would agree with everything i said if i tried to make small talk told me it’s not for sale before i even asked :(((

At least he let me try it on

>>17863621
>can't even align the quartz seconds for promo pictures
yikes

>>17862554
That's an embarrassing ass my man. But a twat is a twat I guess.

>>17863621
Because it's fucking quartz, the second hand doesn't even hit the markers on the stock photo and the sunburst dial looks like shit.

And more importantly, just because the automatic is horribly overpriced doesn't make the quartz version a good deal. 400 for a quartz shitter from Swatch is a big fucking joke, nice bracelet or not.

Pic related can be had for less than half of the quartz PRX price for example and you're not restricted to the proprietary Tissot bracelet that will be beat and you want it changed after 6 months of daily wear.

>>17863621
You say that like the quartz version is high quality compared to the automatic. Yeah it's a not great ETA, but the quartz one is worse I'd argue. Certainly not the quartz quality one would expect at that price.

Would a Rolex ever come in a green box with a world map drawing all over it or only fakes?

>>17863811
any mechanical, there's no justification to have a machine on your wrist that needs a lifetime of servitude when you could throw on a solar quartz and call it a day, the lack of options and stylings in the category is solely due to >>17863809

the longer you put off service the more expensive it will be or you might just end up getting your movement gutted entirely

>>17864019
I might get my PO serviced, but what about my seiko shitters? It doesn't seem worth it

I'm 6' 2" with 7 inch wrists so the size is probably perfect for me.

I think I broke the Rolex code, here's what you do:
>Go to an AD and sign up for a waiting list.
>Get a quality clone (fake) submariner
>Wear that till you get the real deal, you get to experience and get used to the submariner
>Sell of fake for a nice profit

I know a guy who works in the AD in another town, they do authenticating also. Sold the fake face to face in a public location near the AD. My pal "authenticated" it once the fucker took it there.

Last step is obviously overkill, but you basically get a sub for free, so no downside there.

>>17864062
John Wick wears his watch backwards.

>>17864204
No he doesn't, he wears it the proper way for someone holding a gun.

>>17864091
If you don't mind the watch losing a good 15-20% of its value the moment you pay for it then get the GS. The GS will also lose more of its value over time. Both watches are great quality but the demand for used GS is pretty low even if they're more rare.

>>17864233
>>17864236
One small detail that I thought was nice about the 58 is that the alloys on the black/gilt version and the blue dial are different: the black dial has a darker metal, somehow less bright which fits better with the black and the gold whereas the blue model has a brighter metal for the case and bracelet which accents the blue better. Does it mean anything? No. Nice attention to detail I guess.

I remember when i was on a bender 8 years ago, i was at this trap house and after drinking 1/4th a handle of Russan Standard vodka and doing half a ladder of a xanax, the guy who lived at the trap house kept on staring at my watch which at the time was a quartz Tag Aquaracer. Thinking it was more expensive then it was he had me follow him to his room, and proceeded to pulled out this exact watch from his junk drawer and told me it was $3,000. All i remember was laughing in face and then proceeding to rip a bong.

are you a fucking antifa or something kid? I'm gonna have to park here for a min because this is the gayest fucking watch i have ever seen. like some faggot trust fund kid wants to play urban commando but doesn't want to be associated with punisher skull types. like he wants the guys at the coffehouse to think he's a badass but not so bad that he gets accused of being a trump voter. what the fuck is this larpy IT worker urbanite ass bullshit honestly. i'm envisioning a pube moustache and septum piercing beneath that hat and the guy at the antifa protest who "takes it too far". like the kind of limp wristed urbanite faggot who wears mechanix gloves in public that are perpetually clean because he has never owned a car and never will. good lord what is that bezel for, diving? ("but not in the sea because you’re a wimp and don’t actually dive"). even the bracelet is "tactical urbanite cyclist" core like what, when society breaks down you're gonna get on your bicycle and splash onions lattes in your enemies faces? and the patina ass photography like it really really meant something to you to take this picture. like, you really feel like you're gonna go on here and people are gonna think you're the coolest guy ever. honestly if I went into cities i'd deck the first guy I saw wearing that hat.

The only good Rolex

what's the bare minimum tools required to learn how to service your own watches? I have some expensive vintage ones I inherited, want to take a crack at in a few years time once I have practiced enough on ebay shitters

seems like the most expensive part is the ultrasonic cleaner

Okay /wt/ let's do something fun. Feel free to add something to the first tier of this list, which is poverty tier. Price is free to $30, but I might go free to $100 because people sometimes needs a g-shock for work.

>>17864562
no

>>17864560
jewelers screwdriver set, a tweezers, and ice cube tray to sort parts. use lighter fluid to clean parts if you're super poor, then spend all your money on good oils and greases. take pictures of it as you take it apart so you never forget to put a spring back in or something.

>>17864225
Why would you wear your watch differently holding a gun? Are you retarded?

Suit yourself, this list is being made with or without you.

Because John Wick.

Is there anything that comes close to a GS Snowflake (or other spring drive) or Omega Aqua Terra at a similar price range?

>>17864586
Probably the Black Bay.

>>17864569
ooh lighter fluid, cool, do I need to wash off the fluid with just basic water or am I OK to let it dry off right after it had the soak?

Watch what?

longines vhp or grand seiko quartz?

>>17864586
>Is there anything that comes close to a GS Snowflake (or other spring drive) or Omega Aqua Terra at a similar price range?
Just get the non-cope Rolex Datejust or Oyster Perpetual.

You had your chance to add what you wanted, you still can if you want.

>>17864636
>how much does /wt/ hate microbrands?
quite a bit

the watches are usually just kitbashed from off-the-shelf parts sourced from China. (though you could say the same for Omega...which /wt/ also hates.)
the designs are always some variation of vintage military inspired for the manlet who would never have the balls to enlist but wants to look like he would have in WW2.
the customer service is generally so poor that you have to go into every purchase fully expecting a rugpull.

>>17864645

where's the lie, though?
still waiting on your wrist shot, btw. let's see your microshitter. give us all a laugh. :^)

>>17864645
That vintage military aesthetic is usually just Rolex, to be fair.
But yeah, microbrands are shit. They prey on gullible retards who think they're getting a Rolex-equivalent watch for a couple hundred bucks. As a business model, it's kind of scummy, but no one's forcing anyone to buy the shitters.
The only real benefit they provide is giving us all entertainment when someone tries to sell a microshitter they bought.

The only reason you wouldn’t choose this if you’re shopping in the $6,000, then you have brain rot.

>>17864668

>>17864683
I hate that "C" Chicken emblem. Ruins the watch.

>>17864684
I accept your concession.

>>17864683
Is that the 0100?

>>17864689
0200

>>17864683
Look at those sharp crisp lines of that.
That intricate dial pattern.
Those perfectly brushed and side polished batons and hands.
Citizen Chads just keep on winning.

>>17862554
I can see all the contrarian shitposting having ramification through the watch community online and before you know it, $100 38mm citizen quartz watches will be the must have it watch

how long can one expect a powermatic 80 to last before it conks out/needs service? I hear it's borderline impossible to regulate so I'm trying to gauge whether or not my grandpa will die before the watch I want to get him needs to be serviced

>>17864704
>powermatic 80
have mercy on the old cunt and just get a quartz

>>17864707
:(

>>17864654
fuck no i'd never buy a watch i can't resell

(not my pic)

>>17864728
here we go again

>Onionsmatic 80

>>17864728
On the contrary, I find the logo to be understated and classy.

>>17864741
lmao fuck off Marc

>>17864707
>>17864736
I dont have a lot of money but he said he really like watches where the hands sweep
obviously it doesn't sweep anywhere near as nicely as hecking sproong drive but its enough for him to be impressed
I just wanna make my grandpa happy before he croaks

btw new logoless islanders just dropped

>>17864736
I tried the PRX on in the store today and damn it really was reddit the watch. All these youtube shills give it studio glamour shots but in the flesh you remember you could buy a whole variety of more interesting watches with better movements at the same or less price.

>>17862554
can I get a Willard Seiko that isn't stupidly expensive?

even chinese replicas cost upwards of $400, it's insane

>>17864749
he'll be fine. servicing is a meme and it can last 10 years easy imo

>>17864757
thanks

Im looking at the gentleman in particular

>>17864769
>>17864749
I was going to recommend you check out Bulova but I imagine sweeping quartz would have a depleted battery in 2 years or so
I don't own one though, maybe someone else ITT knows more

Fuck monday gay ass iswear fuck

very neat, now it looks like the ebay special it is

>>17864751
just buy a logoless Chinese watch from AliExpress at a third of the price instead of a shit microbrand like Islander.

Pic related: The IWC logo adds €10K EUR of "value" to the most boring fucking design ever made.

the fact that he would rather hide his logo than redesign it to something more appealing is classic Marc

>>17864095
based

>>17864806
That dial is based on a WWII Luftwaffe wristwatch, there is no place for a logo and to do so would be inauthentic.

As it stands, the logo is minimalist and the opposite of ostentatious. A modern classic, if you will. There is nothing to hide.

>>17864802
that would be gay yes

>>17864786
actually this seems like a really good idea
I don't know how to regulate or replacement movements nor do I care but I definitely change a battery for him every 2 years

>>17864833
that seems disingenuous, they didn't have a blue dial or steel bracelet originally either. its a homage watch, he should offer it with the riveted leather band. or he needs to slap the logo on there if he wants to have any sort of brand identity. pulling the logo but modernizing it anyway seems weak af.

>>17864210
Kino. I bought a hamilton for this larp, but I'll prob jeep it on a raf or nato. The strap in that picture is a rally or racing strap.

>>17864857
It's a fresh twist on an old take. Things like this really separate Islander from the rest; other companies are forced to rehash designs while Islander leaves them behind in the dust of innovation.

>>17864769
The gentleman is pretty cool desu. It isnt the plastic escapement powermatic iirc and it has a silicon handspring making it more anti magnetic. I think it would be a good choice for the old man.

>>17864683
It doesn't look like a 6k watch, has a 1$ calculator name on it and i bet it's quartz.
The only reason you would buy it if you are loaded and don't want anybody to know it, which is a very specific reason.

>>17864868
lol

>the fastest thread on this board is for an article of clothing made obsolete by the cellphone over 2 decades ago.

>>17864916
Yes anon.

This is because men's fashion is either plain street wear, good clothes according to your work setting, or suits. All the "faggot"core threads and such are literal cosplay shit that only teenagers can wear without blowing their brains out.

So that leaves watches to wear something with some style.

>>17864916
it's the only acceptable men's jewelry besides maybe a gold chain

Quick, post 36mm watches while Americans are asleep.

>>17864127
That is worth more than most people's collections on here. Pick out the one you like most to keep for yourself and seek out someone who knows his shit and sell the lot and do something with the money. Go on vacation, invest it idk.

Also ordered a good shiny black leather band for it. Already tried wearing with a shitty fake leather and it was cash.

This doesn't make any sense when you consider the fact that rural blue collar men and radical religious zealots wear Casios. And those people most definitely do not like communism.

>>17864754
The Prx isn't about being interesting. It's about the looks and material quality at the price point from a big Swiss watch maker. Movement aside.

>>17864599
Time is a valuable thing.
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings.
Watch it count down to the end of the day..
The clock ticks life away, it's so un..real

You didn't look out below!
Watch the time go right out the window.
Trying to hold on, to didn't even know.
I wasted it all just to watch you gooo!

I kept everything inside.
And even though I tried, it all fell apart.
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when I fucked urmom :^)

>>17863811
ok you buy a broken one.. where do you get parts from? while you could service it on your own you can't make em yourself.

>>17864683
I actually really like this model. Thought that I'd pick up the blue dial when I went to japan next but a random yt comment snapped me back to reality and reminded me:
Never, ever, be the moron to buy the first iteration of a new movement; never PAY to be the guineapig/test case for a company.
Everyone who's done so, especially for some reason in the past few years, has suffered frustration because of it. Shit even rolex's movements that came out 6 years ago have issues that have not been resolved.
Wait until the second or third iteration and save yourself the stress.

>>17865078
Buy two watches with the same movements so you can use one as parts donor.
