Hey bro, nice mechanical watch, you paid 500k for that credor? Cool bro….

So what’s the exact time right now?

Aww man looks like it’s off by 10 seconds looks like you wasted a lot of money heh

Hold on let me buy this sandwich and video chat my wife on my $300 watch

>>17866427
what is this watch

>>17866469
Antonio Dzhugashvili

Stop wearing watches RIGHT NOW

To the anon who wanted to get one, I hope you didn't pay a scalper since they're rereleasing it in blue.

>>17866484
ugh

>>17866484
lol and a way lower price

>>17866477
no

>>17866488
Well the original release apparently had a 25% discount code attached. Not too sure about the rerelease.

>>17866443

Going through the airport today the security guy noticed my well worn casio a158we and mentioned they were "god-tier". I mentioned not changing the battery in six years and told me they were 10 year batteries. For all i've purchased, I do wear it the most without fuss or care

>>17866559
That meme really has caught on with normalfags. It's interesting to see sometimes what things make it out of the watch world into the general public.

>>17866562
That meme came from the general public into the watch world.

"Grail" watches are always extremely personal choices, but what's the best objective candidate for the holy grail of watches?

>>17866599
Citizen 0100

What are DavidSW's response times like? Sent them an email asking about a watch but it's been nearly 3 days without a reply

>>17866599
>what's the best objective candidate for the holy grail of watches
You can't, there's too much choice. Some would go with something unassuming like an old Patek with a tourbillon and a minute repeater and an enamel dial, some would go the ultra complicated route like the JLC Gyrotourbillon Perpetual whatever or a Langepenta split, some would go the ultra-rare route like some unicorn Daytona or some other impossible to find Rolex...

>>17866603
>objective
Nice objective horologically significant choices there lol

>>17866601
what was the nature of the question and how did you phrase it? maybe they could smell the tire-kicker in your answer and thus haven't bothered to reply

>>17866606
It was a high level set of questions, but guess they can't be arsed
I'll follow up - not blowing 5 figs when they can't even do that much

>>17866599
Easily Breguet's Marie Antoinette watch. There really is no other option.

>>17866603
Me personally i would opt for a 'mini collection' and hunt down nice examples of all the good looking Weekdaters in all dial variants (silver, black, linen) and a couple of 61GS VFAs, but that's just me.
>>17866605
Well what would you suggest? I told you you can't. Nowhere did you mention that they need to be 'horologically significant'... You might choose some relatively obscure Roger Smith or a Daniels that 95% of 'watch enthusiasts' haven't a clue they even exist. It's too objective, you can't. This whole 'grail' thing is stupid anyway, i change my mind on which watches i would buy if i had heaps of money every month, to be honest i stopped thinking about it alltogether, it's pointless.
>>17866615
OK, this might qualify, but it's not a wrist watch is it?

>>17866599
Omega 39050076.

>>17866619
I've never seen handwriting look so smug before

>>17866599
That Omega with deadbeat seconds.

>>17866624
>deadbeat seconds
This should be the next mechanical gimmick after the GMT complication fades out in a few years. How many deadbeat seconds watches are there out there currently anyway?

>>17866626
>we used a vastly more complicated, fat, heavy and objectively inferior mechanism to accomplish the same thing as a 200$ quartz does with 5 years of battery life

If you want deadbeat seconds just get a fucking quartz lmao, smooth sweep was the only excuse to cling onto the automatics in the first place.

Just make your own rules what constitutes as high horology and move the goalposts whenever somebody gets close to you, if anyone surpasses you in that it's not high horology and you move to another niche. That's the swiss for you.

>>17866647
>Just make your own rules what constitutes as high horology and move the goalposts whenever somebody gets close to you, if anyone surpasses you in that it's not high horology and you move to another niche. That's the swiss for you.

Is high horology the modern art?

>>17866619
I didnt really like omegas when i got into this because they kind of just felt like goofy boy goof zoomer gadget hour (not as bad as breitling or casio mind you) but this one actually looks really elegant and i like it

is there an online database which tells you what the original box & papers should look like for Rolex models?

This is one I'm looking at but I'm pretty sure that's not the original box but I can't confirm.

>>17866650

>>17866655
this is the other one. It's my birth year watch but it has a small chip on the top of the glass between the 12 to 1

>>17866655
Holy shit bro, judging from his hand writing, the guy selling you the watch looks to be barely literate. Like look at that first "D," how many strokes did that take? It's the hand writing equivalent of an alien trying to pass itself off as human.

holy fuck is that not one, but two entry level (((luxury))) watches?? on straps?? The two of those almost equal a real watch like a rolex but you’re getting there fag. Maybe slop down the extra 600 for a bracelet next time, you know, like an actual rich person would.

f91w around the house and is it an a158 or a168 silver one when I need to look flashy as FUCK.

Watches truly are cope. I'm not against attempted flexes and wearing 100k on your wrist would be a flex, but the combination of:

> literally no one recognising it

and

>the prevalence of fakes

makes it a pointless exercise. Any pub full of office normies after work has 100 "rolexes" and these guys earn 40k/year.

new super hyped quartz shitter just dropped. will any of you tards who bought plastic moonwatch and plastic blancpain be getting this one as well?

>>17866744
All Credor are not the Eichi II.
Most Credors are less than 1000 bucks.

That’s entry level crap too.

>>17866789
Kenissi movement, ceramic, uniqueness.
Rolex is pure marketing, their production costs are around 1000$
They are the apple of the watch industry and they produce around 1 Million watches per year. Their only innovation, ever, is creating fake demand by having artificial waiting lists to create a Fake exclusivity even though, like I mentioned, they produce a million of that stuff, every year.
And even IF you get a Rolex, chances are nobody will believe it's real because for every original rolex, there are 20 fakes/replicas out there that are 99.9% the same and can fool even an experienced seller.
Grand Seiko for example are impossible to fake due to the INNOVATIVE movement and maybe even their polishing.
At least, in this case, a ceramic watch is harder to fake.
A Lange&Söhne for example are actual exclusive watches because they produce around 2000 pieces per year and they make rolexes look like toys side by side and you know why? Because rolex doesn't even put the time to dress up their movement. Even a entry level HOMOS has geneve stripes and perlage, and the only thing you get from a rolex is a closed stainles steel (not even hardened btw) back.
You buy a good watch to impress yourself, you buy a rolex to impress others.
There, I gave you 10 reasons as of why a Tudor black bay ceramic is the wiser choice.

>>17866795
kek, nah it was the light reflecting. That part of the case, below the bezel, is actually polished.

The Russian ADs don't have a waiting list. Why do you ask? because the Russian people just aren't cucked enough to accept that kind of treatment by a fashion brand.

Imagine sucking dick for the privilege of spending your money, here it's the other way around.

>>17866803
You asked for a reason, we gave you many and your defense mechanism is to write "cope".
Anyway you do you. You can post your watch collection any time btw. (You won't)

No you don't understand. We are just coping.

they probably dont have enough black and brown people to discriminate against too so no need for a list there
>>17866813
not me, but I still don't wear a watch (for now)

>>17866819
So in your mind, this is a good answer? Writing "cope" and "bad" and "yes they are overpriced"?

seems you have unreasonable hate due to some principles you have yourself for the working mans watch grail aka the rolex
find a substitute for the rolex sub as a diver watch enthusiast as an endgame watch, protip you can't, or maybe you can
inb4 you start quoting grand seikos or some other copes, don't like their style, simple as. the lower end seikos divers have better dial configs.
the only competition to the most copied watch in the world is other chink copies and the same homages
maybe you start dropping some lower end copes like Sinn or something, too tooley
maybe the true answer is to bureaucratmaxx and get a gshock after all

>>17866842
We will ignore the fact that iphone is superioir to any android for any price and you can say the same about watches. They don't get better with price, also if you think iphone is overpriced try thinking about 60 gramms of steel on your wrist that you pay thosands of dollars for.

>>17866772
Why does the dial go red towards 60? It’s just a larp of a gauge?

>>17866847
Yes. No surprise, though. It’s the one specifically designed for the watch.
I liked it a lot when I still had my Seamaster. I liked the little stud in the sliding keeper that kept it from moving around. Good design.

>>17866853
60 grams of steel on my wrist doesn't become obsolete in a couple of years.

>>17866853
>We will ignore the fact that iphone is superioir to any android for any price
kek. Tell me you're triple vaxxed without telling me.

>>17866811
I'm just worried that my fellow anon doesn't get too carried away.

>>17866860

>>17866856
No , it was obsolete years before you were born.

This is /fa/ the fucking WATCH THREAD.
Yes the hole in the face is absolutely relevant, it's fucking retarded. Why not buy a brand hew car and drill a hole in the hood for changing the oil? why not wear pants with a hole on the ass so you could shit without taking them off?

The hole is an absolute fucking embarrassment, carrying around a phone with a hole in it is like having a fucking brand iRetard on your forehead.

>you knew why this is inherently shit and possibly bad too though right? another autist favorite

iLies. It's only bad because it cuts into the brand revenue by offering a better deal on the storage space.

>>17866853
the problem with iphones is that you have to use ios

I never thought I would say this but this thread is pretty awful without Americans.

>>>/g/

Aight lads, let's talk watches.
I have a question to the few grand seiko Chads in here. Is the spring drive really as accurate as they claim it to be? 10 seconds a month?

I want this watch because the geometry is cool lol

>>17866880
>10 seconds a month?
that's actually pretty bad compared to the regular ticking quartz in a 20$ casio.

>>17866876
not putting a "hole" in the display would only limit the amount of screen realestate on the phone, zero reason not to just tap out the screen realestate and essentially down size or remove the "hole" in software if you wanna sperg this hard about it
either way, don't care, as I am too poor to care and would buy any phone if it had a hole or not, totally irrelevant metric only relevant to spergs who cant into logical thinking
you have to think a few steps further
>iLies
ok so dont know
can you install things on the sd card now again on android or did they remove it competely like they were supposed to say?
you can store some garbage on it i guess that is it
are sd cards not prone to corruption anymore? too long since I last used one
also slower than built in storage unless they fixed that too with the newer faster sds
in short, kind of irrelevant and never used one since they were shit last time
which is a long time ago now
only relevant for spergs who want 512gb hentai on deck at all times
other than that would prefer onboard storage obviously like any sane person for usability sake
>>17866880
if you can afford a GS springdrive you can afford a date sub, sir
they are the same price, literally

>>17866880
The new 9ra2/9ra5 movements are apparently even more accurate than advertised

>>17866880
> Is the spring drive really as accurate as they claim it to be?
It can be. In practice, accuracy is all over the place. Some users report 10 seconds per year gain, others claim they lose several seconds per day. Much like any other watch, how it’s maintained matters.

Very few Spring Drive watches get serviced though, since users get scared off by the high prices and Seiko’s reputation for butchering watches in service.

>>17866884
>>17866885
Yes I can't seem to get a general answer either. And the servicing thing is also true, many go a decade without servicing them.
>>17866883
>I'm too poor to care
Finally some truth in here.

>>17866885
> Seiko’s reputation for butchering watches in service.
This is exactly why I sold my Snowflake. Even Seiko treats their watches as disposable.

They only keep parts for a watch for 10 years. After that…well, maybe get lucky. They don’t have special service departments for their high end models, so your Grand Seiko gets serviced by the same guy working on a Seiko 5.

That’s before you start reading the horror stories about watches coming back gaining a minute per day and being told “It’s within spec.”

mechanical watch problems

>>17866890
Hol' up
Hol' up
Is this true? I thought you had to send them to Japan because only Le Selected Takumi can work on a Spring Drive movement? There's no way a Seiko 5 employee works on a spring drive, right...?

>>17866892
What are some quartz watch owners problems? Finding the nearest food bank?

>>17866895
Damn.............
Women and feminine men (or men with female character traits) can not understand watches. So it makes no sense to them at all.

seems like I struck a nerve

>>17866894
Yep. Spring Drive watches do get sent to Japan for service but it’s all the same service center. Apparently they don’t make enough Spring Drive watches to have the service equipment and spares at their global service centers.

Other than that, a repairman can replace a movement in an Orange Monster one minute and then the next be replacing gaskets in a $10k Grand Seiko.

>oh yeah girl, I like to fiddle around with watches and their tiny little gears. I gotta use tweezers and keep my fingernails perfectly polished. I just love jewelry so much
>what? change your oil? change a flat tire? what do you mean? gross, it'll mess up my manicure

shartz would be fine if the watch cabal didn't insist on them being eternally boring shitters

>>17866898
Oh it gets worse.
They will refinish your watch, but if you want it re-zaratsu’d you have to pay extra. Otherwise it gets the ol’ buffing wheel job.
Also, it takes like six months to go to Japan and back.

>>17866903
I thought it was common knowledge that Seiko service was bad.

>>17866903
Dirty, dirty people

>>17866889
>Finally some truth in here.
the main point was not sperging out about a hole because I understand the design decisions and not having a "hole" is just inferior shit, in short, autism and wanting a worse product because you have autism are not a good thing
being poor aka money concious when buying SHITTER phones only afforded me another layer of not giving a fuck about autism problems like a HOLE In a display, which means I just buy whatever is the best deal cheap shit phone
buying a 2k iphone would still give me a fucking hole
did you miss the point?
it's a none issue
>>17866885
>get scared off by the high prices and Seiko’s reputation for butchering watches in service.

>>17866890
>They only keep parts for a watch for 10 years
brutal
>so your Grand Seiko gets serviced by the same guy working on a Seiko 5.
do you really need a master craftsman doing everything manual 100 decades of honorary japanese watch making teachings servicing a shitter?
sounds like horrible assignment of time and resource
surely the japs arent this inefficient
>>17866902
>Also, it takes like six months to go to Japan and back.
Rolex wins again, why can't they be stopped

>Instead of sifting through bot orders and releasing more on inventory, they release this

I can now see why Spinnaker never got into the same level as Boldr, RZE, Vario and Zelos considering the fact that they also have a factory of their own in Hong Kong just like 3 of the 4 microbrands I mentioned (Vario is the outlier, the guy who owns it tries to run his business ethically so he has his watches made in the same factories as Citizen does so the whole Made in Japan thing isn't just exclusive to the movement)

To their credit, Seconde seconde probably recommended Blue since their is a Blancpain 50 Fathoms variant of it, but the theming looks absolutely horrible with that blue dial, it's even apparent in their own mock up. Whoever got an extra of the black one, hit me up bros, just not the grey one because I've had a grey dial with glass before and that shit looks makes the bezel look like its laden in cum.

I am not an alcoholic, I merely post my watch with alcoholic beverages.

>>17866599
Most minute repeaters would qualify. Otherwise I'd go with the icons - a chronograph from Lange or a perpetual calendar from Patek. You can go more expensive and exclusive but suffer pretty severe diminishing returns above $60k or so.

>>17866910
>the GS reputation is getting killed off in real time the past few threads here the more I learn about this cope

What's fucked up is that this is not even a joke. We can argue about the legitimacy of that WUS claim about Omega being made in China, but there are unfortunately daily examples of GS fucking up watches sent to them for servicing, I believe I've posted one of them here before where someone's serviced HAQ GS came back visibly deep scratches from a badly executed bezel removal that they just didn't even bother to address.

>>17866655
are you buying from a kindergartener? holy kek

>>17866915
Personaly, I see no issues with it. It was the best compromise they could reach. Those who got the limited edition because they genuinely enjoy the watch still have their limited edition Those who missed out on it can now order it without needing to worry. The nasty scalpers lose out on a lot of potential profit since those who missed out has an alternative. And Spinnaker gets to make more money and dodge the allegation that they're the ones who built up hype only to flip the watch themselves by crashing the secondary market. Everyone wins as far as I'm concern.
Also, removing bot orders won't fix it so long as demand outstrips supply, especially since they set the limit per household to two instead of one for some stupid reason.

>>17866600
I simp for Citizen, I've preached about the Miyota 90xx, but Citizen 0100 is a no from me. I respect that amount of work they put into its tech considering it rivals the Spring Drive, and even surpasses HAQ(IMO), but I despise the fact that it just looks so... boring.

Citizen is like what happens when Marc from Long Island ends up owning his own brand, all engineering, zero style.

>>17866599
Grand Seiko's Kodo. That thing proves how GS can outdo Richard Mille in their own damn game.

>>17866923
My gripes are moreso based from a precedent set by Mr. Jones did with their collaboration with Ana Dias, wherein in order to shut scalpers down entirely, they just made non-LE versions of the same exact watch. It was wonderful seeing a Japanese seller having to defend why they're selling a Berry Late watch for $500 for being a "numbered, limited edition" when Mr. Jones had the same exact watch available on their website for $250. It was a move that ended up only hurting scalpers the entire time and seeing that whole thing was straight up justice porn.

>>17866926
>GS kodo
>Yeah brah, put a rubber strap to it and take it for a swim
LOL
Sure it can take it, but that's insanity.

>>17866933
I'm not familiar with with the various limited edition microbrand launches since none of them caught my eye until this one, but I'm assuming that in the case of Mr.Jones they presumably made their intentions to release two variants (limited and non-limited) clear from the get go. Since Spinnaker didn't do this, if they were to follow in Mr.Jones' footsteps they'll cause issues with the non-bot individuals who managed to snag the limited copy.

>>17866938
From what I recall, they brought it up to the artist and its a decision they both agreed was the best course of action.

Based on my interactions with Roshan since I recommended a concept that looks as good, if not better, that gets to keep the same dial color, it seems that was already concluded and blue was the agreement they want for. My theory was that Seconde seconde was committed to the Blancpain scheme, hence why Blue was chosen, based off picrel.

The ghosts just don't look on it, unfortunately.\

Why does the anglage stop in the middle? Why the clear jewel? Striping on the base plate would look better than perlage.

>>17866953
well idk If I'm that into it generally, not bad for sure, just the generic american goblin ig woman look, black hair and all that
they do share some resemblance with some middle eastern women though, kind of which is good
my country of origin does not have very many either
but yeah entirely depends on what type we are talking about, they are not even in my fetish category if imma keep it a buck I think

>>17866952

>>17866969
I don't know why this makes me laugh

>>17866961
The clear jewel lets you see the remontoir in action.

>>17866969
I really want to love this watch but I would never buy something without a seconds hand

>>17866979
OK that seems reasonable. No anglage irks me.

>>17866982
They make seconds hand variants of this too. I personally don't really like the seconds hand tick. No date was also a plus.

>>17866985
Yes I don't know why they stop the anglage there. It was also present on their first generation of remontoir watches so maybe there is a reason for it.

bros Bulova says they have more conservative precionist options lined up for the future after releasing the jet star

Langepedia says it is to emphasize the black polish finish on the steel remontoir bridge. Doesn't really make sense to me but that is the official Lange line.

>>17866996
I already said it but I would quite like if the second hand on a lunar pilot was a second hand not a chronograph second hand.
You got this smooth movement on a quartz and can't fucking see it unless using a chronograph this is so stupid. Can they make it?

>>17866996
Im 100% positive that solar precisionist is possible without any groundbreaking advances
it'll require more light and obviously have lower power reserve but I wouldn't mind just putting it under a small lamp or something overnight. I'd honestly pay good money for ror such a watch, not that changing batteries is hard or anything

Anything from verified sellers/AD's with real pictures that can prove they have the watch on hand will be real. American, Northern European (UK, German, Scandis), Japanese and Australian AD's are trustworthy.

Avoid sellers from every single other part of the world, no matter how good the deal might appear to be.

>Rolex seems to be winning still, why the fuck can't they be defeated? everyone claims they are overpriced and shit...
Rolex's vertical supply and logistics chain + their business model is sometimes talked about in business schools as exemplary.

Rolex has a long term vision of where they want their company to be decades from now and they took steps to support their objectives. From the artificial scarcity, to the consistency of their design, to their foundries, it all adds up to secure their place at the top.

planning to buy from chrono24 for the first time soon, what should I know?
there are maybe 7 vendors selling what they want all with ratings ranging from 4.5* to 4.9*, with hundreds to thousands of ratings as sample sizes.
some are selling it for like 100 bucks less than others and I don't really get why. their ratings are still good but I'm confused about why they'd undercut so hard. it's originally a 525 USD msrp watch so relative to the price these are big cuts (Im buying on chrono24 because its not sold to the us market by the manufacturer)

Am I the only one who likes the new Hamilton release? I quite like the bezel and simple dial

Picked up the two tone GMT on Friday & already love it. Definitely my favorite watch in my collection so far. Besides my watch’s I wear a lot of yellow gold so it’s great to finally have something that match’s.

Also I got a couple more pieces not pictured that I can also post also, all Rolex & Tudor. Bit boring I know but it’s hard to buy anything else when I thankfully have a connection to get any model & retail.

I assume this has an acrylic window, but still seems nice for the price. Anyone here have experience with Caravelle? This is $35 has a stainless steel case and band, 40mm case, 8mm thick.

It's a fuckin wal-mart tier watch, bro.

>>17867192
In what way? walmart watches are made of garbage materials and have misprinted and fake dials.

>>17867064
Are we sure that's a female?

>>17867194
In the way that it's an ugly $35 quartz watch with an expectedly cheap bracelet and cheap sunburst effect on the dial?

>>17867203
Can your expensive quartz watch do this?

>>17867169
Nice, finally a true flex in the thread. It's been a desert for the past few (stripper asses don't count).

Is it a Breitling Chronomat? It's hard to tell, it looks like it has a blue dial with 3 white vertically arranged subdials, but it doesn't look like it has pushers on it? But breitling has a few watches with similar bracelets.

>>17867178
I was wrong, it's mineral glass
seems like a steal desu

>>17867235
>>17867217
Maybe it's a 2 tone chronomat? There were some 2 tone versions with gold dials and 2 tone bracelets and gold accents on the bezels and hardware.

>>17867242
That looks a lot like bulova website.

>>17867254
It is, caravelle is a bulova subbrand

>>17867255
>>17867254
And Bulova is owned by Citizen, which is why Citizen's website is exactly the same.

>>17867280
ask them how much they intend on charging for shipping (and method), ask them if they have the watch on hand, if it's a vintage watch then it's likely not all original and they know this

also again, avoid sellers outside of the USA, northern Europe and Japan.

>>17867271

I just learned the word 成功 = Success and is pronounced "Seiko". possible company origin name or maybe just an easter egg? I guess it could also be 精工 (precision manufacturing)

>>17867291
>>17867627
that's fair
they all seem pretty trustworthy, I'll just message a few and ask shipping costs and courier since idk if the estimated shipping cost on the listings are accurate
I might go with the german seller since I think german autism is still strong

>>17867643
Prestige, novelty, value, craftsmanship, complication, finishing, decoration, and ingenuity. Anyone who hoards Rolex is probably a brand whore so it makes since to step up to Patek if you can afford it.

>>17867652

17 USD for this, not bad, eh? Made in 1999, has edifice written on the dial but all official Casio edifice websites say that edifice production has started in 2000. I confuse.

>>17867652
>>17867661
Original name of the company was 精工舎 (precision manufacturing house), it sounds similar with 成功者 - a success person. There's a lot of word play in Japan and the Japanese believe that words have magical powers. Like if you eat a kit-kat before entrance exams you will pass ("definitely cut through"), some mothers completely abstain from uttering the word like "falling" or "failing" while their kids prepare to enter university.

On the back there's a small space where you can write an encouraging message like "do your best". Family members usually give it to a kid so he can have some glucose loaded snack and also feel their support. There are a lot of exams there, so it makes sense.

>>17867712

>>17867716
Well, Japanese love to experiment with flavors. Do you know the snack called Umaibo? There are hundreds of flavors, some are seasonal, but the core one are like 5-6. Kit-kat is the same, there are like sake, Sakura, chestnut, green tea, whole grain. The rest is just fucking around to find the one that sticks.

Thank you, I’m not a Lange guy desu but yes Patek would be the next move. It’s just obv a lotttt eaiser to come up w/ $8 even $16k then patek money lol. That is unless I do as you say & sell somthing… I just have such a hard time selling anything if I’m being honest, esp things that increase or at min hold & retain their value. Have a lot of other cool hard assets besdies watches, I might sell a classic highly desirable 80’s BMW & would then put the cash into a watch.
