/fa/ - Fashion

My collection is this and a MQ24. Thinkinb about adding a Piaget some time.

This is on sale here, I kinda like it, but not sure about wearability, not sure I can pull it off with many fits.

Wanted to ask you guys advice, do you think this is leaning in to more "classical" type of clothes, suits, knits, etc. Will I have problems wearing it casually?

What do you think overall?

What's the watch for this fit?

Nothing cheap, but not overly expensive either.

>>17878443
I'm not a big fan of rose gold usually, but i think when it comes to rose gold this might be one of the most versatile watches i've seen. Seiko is great quality for the price. Whats the diameter? Do you have the chance to try it on before buying? Think about if you like the look when paired with black leather strap. Think about the belts you usually wear. I can imagine it with knits and autumn colors, suits not so much. Casual black suits with rose gold is really bad (imo). Casual wear can work if you are not a loud person, otherwise it feels insecure, loud and compensatory (imo; think athletes, social media "male" compensatories, modern actors).

Hope that helps. Maybe you got some pictures of clothing you usually wear.

Hamilton khaki field. Preferably one of the ll bean ones.

Lads,
I know I said that I will try and lay low for a little while but, Anna-Maria wrote me after almost 2 months. She's back again and...


Well fuck. I made her pose with my watches. In the sailor moon costume.
She's Extremely tiny and petite though. Like, 45kg and 1.50.
Would that be of interest to you gents?

>>17878515
is that your wife's name? I am not up to date on my degen anon lore

>>17878515
Not if he's a ball-swinging tranny, no

>>17878517
No she's not. She was one of the women that satan send to test me. Whenever satan wants to test you, he sends you a girl with a name that ends with an "A", this one had two A's

>>17878486
excellent choice in ring and watch sir

>>17878486
Nice to see you again m8. I absolutely love that dial.

>>17878519
my wife's name ends in a, did I fail the test?

>>17878445
some piece of shit like an alpinist or an caravalle.

>>17878520

>>17878527
it wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was a gift and it's really grown on me. I recently got a bracelet from hamilton to put on it and now I wear it pretty regularly

>>17878519
I just realised all girls in my life had a name that ended with "A"...

>>17878542
It wasn't your fault. Now you know.

>>17878515
Who fucking cares? I'm bored with your pathetic act, you faggot.

>>17878515

I was looking at Fossil watches but I see some decent watches from Timex.
What watches can you anons recommend?

Also bonus question, most of these details but something cheaper for work or rugged activities like hiking, where it can be banged around. Green rubber or fabric strap. Digital.

Love that curved case CW has for the trident and the aqua fresh. But not loving their current dials and hands. Go Hamilton.

why is blud talkin about toothpaste

Any slide rule bezel watches but with dials that aren't that busy? Like pic related.

Bonus points if 41mm or smaller.

Seiko is over.

Guys what's a 3 watch collection that I can pass onto my kids? So far I have:

Rolex Datejust 126300
Rolex Explorer II 16570
???

I'm thinking I'm done with Rolex. I don't want anything from the Swatch group either, unless someone can convince me otherwise. Thinking the IWC Portofino which can be had for $2.5-3k via Chrono24 or Japan.

have you considered making your own decisions and also providing your children with more meaningful things?

>>17878693
You mean besides 2 houses in LA county? I honestly think I've done enough for them, I just wanted to give something for them to remember me by. I also wanted them to see these watches and figured that dad has good taste. My question is more directed to Omegabro, VC bro and whoever owns luxury watches TBQH.

can anyone id this jews watch? It's Rick Glassman

>>17878696

I still have my gen1 orange monster, but I need a new bezel click spring and gasket. Any idea where I can buy one?

>>17878694
NTA, but your kids will cherish your watches because it's something they closely associate with you. Or they're expensive and they want to sell them when your dead. So make sure it's something that you love and will wear often or make sure that its expensive (doesnt even have to hold value because they didnt pay for it). This is honest advice.

>t. Anon who has a soft spot for white swatches because his grandparents always wore them

Remember when you could get a mechanical ISO certified diver for under $200?

>>17878698
>>17878696
Looks like a vintage seamaster from the 60s. Or any other such vintage watches.

>>17878705
Glashutte original whatever.
60s Seamaster (wont have the hands and numerals but case shape and proportins will be similar

>>17878733
Those were the days. I was looking up stowa marine originals after seeing my friends and they are €1750. They were €750 in 2013 ;_;

>>17878732
I hope they don't sell it, but I also want something they can sell if they ever get into a pinch. Hopefully they will be fine, I teach them how to not only save money but make It work for you. The two homes I am leaving them are in great shape. I fixed them up myself and combined both are worth at least 1.75 mil, I want them to be able to have a home in this bullshit market in case it doesn't get any better. Or if they want sell they can sell them and live off the interest. Everyday I hammer this into their heads and everyday I am happy that they're learning how to save even at a young age.

TBQH I'm just happy both of them are grounded, and not some YOLO morons.

>>17878747
Sounds like you're doing a good job man. Porto fino sounds like a great choice if you like it. Maybe a cartier if you have a girl.

>>17878750
Two boys, I am lucky my wife is grounded. She came from a super traditional Mexican family.

*inb4whitegenocide

>>17878750
Oh and yea I probably will get the Portofino. I also like the Ingenieur but that's more sporty and I already have two sports. Still this particular reference does have a place in my heart.

>>17878696
agree it looks like a Seamaster, looks like 60s vintage with that lug design

>>17878698
My bad you're right, it's actually the Constellation Pie Pan. Vintage Omegas are confusing as fuck sometimes.

Just impulse bought this, around 620 from macys. Would likely return and rebuy online somewhere for cheaper. Thoughts? The case is very light and sizing is perfect, it feels as light as wearing my Hamilton khaki. Is this worth over 500?

>>17878764
Why didn't you just buy it online in the first place?

>>17878429
>32mm edition
Best i can do is 33,5mm.

>>17878599
Seiko 7T28 copy.

>>17878769
Wanted to have it irl and feel it in person, play around w it and compare it with other watches. Figured I’ll return either way but not sure if I wanna return permanently or just to buy it again for cheaper.

>>17878457
Does the same thing apply if you just dont dont like wearing silver?

>>17878457
>Seiko is great quality for the price
Unless you're comparing them to $15K+ watches, they really aren't. Orient is what Seiko used to be.

Got this Sugess 40mm with an ST19 to try out before I pass it on as a gift. Brother wanted to have a real mechanical chronograph, while he thinks 100$ watches are too expensive.

>>17878781
Orient is owned by Seiko

>>17878486
>>17878520
>ring and watch
Pleb tier in both cases.

>>17878524
>alpinist
The SARB017, sure.

The new Alpinist with the futuristic X on the dial, no.

>>17878833
No one is gonna look that closely on the dial when taking in someone's outfit.

Casio royal or pic related?
I've heard some issues regarding the Royal, such as the button changing the timezone can sometime be accidentally pushed and messing up with your time display.

>>17878764
hold up arent these mercedes hands a rolex thing?

>>17878882
Yeah they invented it like GMT and diver watches.

>>17878781
Eh they still have plenty of good value stuff. Having true GMT for 1000 bucks is pretty nice.

Are there any dos and donts on a ceramic watch that I should know about?

>>17878890
Yea, don't drop it.

>>17878853
I'd notice it every single time I looked at my watch.

Also, people do notice. Just two days ago dude next to me was reading the time off my Tuna.

>>17878892
Omegod don't let the rolexchuds see this

>>17878892
So it's more scratch resistant, but it's much more prone to shattering if dropped? Harder but brittle. Makes sense.
Thanks for the reply.

>>17878898
The same is true of sapphire crystals by the way. That's the reason why acrylic crystals are used in space.

>>17878434
what model is this?

>>17878898
It's literally porcelain, drop it and it shatters like a mug or plate. The problem is that the bezel can shatter in isolation when you knock it into a corner, while the case remains intact. Have fun with the cost of repairs on that though. Any other bezel would just get a scratch or ding, instead of breaking into ten pieces.

Ceramic isn't very well liked by many watch collectors, and the industry is going back to aluminium bezels.

>>17878897
Far as I know Rolex doesn't make ceramic cases precisely for that reason, just ceramic bezels which are not as bad as replacing the whole case, still I'm not crazy about them.

I wonder why Omega abandoned the liquid metal bezels.

>>17878909
My watch is still very new but this made me more aware of how careful I have to be. I dropped my presage a while ago and if fell on crown, pic related happened. If this was my tootor, it might've been rip.

>>17878915
How do people even manage to drop watches anyways? Try to put it on while sitting down/ over your lap or at least over a counter.

>>17878915
watches are delicate precision instruments
there is a reason why G-shock was the first real beater watch in the market
it would be fun to have the level of independent stress tests that some smartphones have, but most watches are fragile jewelry first, rugged beaters last

>>17878935
Ιn my case, it was just plain stupidity. I was playing it like a fidget toy.

>>17878937
Well my "beater" is this one. I wear it at work too.
I guess the chemicals will get to it after a while, but so far it's fine. Easy to clean too.

>>17878907
Sacm151 or 171

>>17878935
>How do people even manage to drop watches anyways?
Happens rather easily with a pin buckle and strap, they just slide off your wrist while you're putting the watch on or taking it off. Particularly when it's a smaller and lighter watch.

>>17878915
Well the good news is that crowns are replaced during every service by the manufacturer, they are a wear item.

>>17878948
I send my presage for service last month, the 16th of oct. Still haven't heard anything from them.
Is it normal for Seiko to take so long? If they swap my crown though, I would be happy.

>>17878951
I don't own any Seikos but normally a service takes between 2 to 6 months.

>>17878963
Damn.

That makes me think, if I want to service my Credor, I'm probably fucked beyond belief.

>>17878733
Thank the democrats that your money is worthless now

>>17878832
What do you mean?

Let me guess, you need more?

>>17878951
Why use their service? Just find a good independent watchmaker.

>>17878980
It's still got warranty and they (independent watchmaker) told me it's better if they send it directly to Seiko here in Germany.

>>17878910
Bezel replacement on the Pepsi Jubilee costs $1700, and it’s one of the more fragile bezels.

How long did you have this watch and how's it fairing so far?

>>17878951

>>17878649
What do you have against CW's dials and hands? I'd bought a c63 sealander recently but I won't get my hands on them until January.

Good question anon I was contemplating this after I wrote that gibberish. I think I personally don't prefer the all rectangle indices look. It looks to me maybe too cold and I like the mix of circle indices CW had in previous designs. Or even add some Arabic numbers. Then I also have an aversion to the hands overlapping the center like that, I am not sure the technical term. It's nit picky but at that price point for a poor like myself I would want to be totally on board with the watch. But that case shape tho is so good. Post pics when you get it, it is a nice watch.

>>17878975
I like this watch for ironic reasons, but not enough to pay $200+ for one.

wow

>>17879277 this >>17879287
just by servicing those chronographs you can buy 3-10 of 1963 new, or swap the movement 5-15 times
is you don't like the design, there are hundreds of variants with the same movement

>>17879159
Thanks for the answer, anon. I will post a pic as soon as I get my hands in it. If you are considering to buy one new watch, I suggest taking a look at the C65 Dune and some other watches in their catalog, because although I don't remember their name, I'm sure they have more models with arabaic or circular indexes.
As far as dials goes, is the painting on them any good? That's my main concern, since it seems very simple, if not boring. I hope it has more going on, like some light sunburst or deep colors.

>>17879281
Thanks. No, it just reflects light well.

>>17879315
That date window suck balls, otherwise very good watch, sir.

>>17878677
What archive site is this? Warosu isn't working for me right now.

>>17879277
I agree but you could buy 3 for the price of most chronograph services so theres that to consider

>>17879321
I like it, I find it better than a date window at 6 like the newer Aqua Terras and I don't like daily wearing a no date watch.

>>17879291
Looks nice, not very legible though.How big is it?

>>17879331

>>17879329
I preffer the new ones, but the old dial is far better... the new one is kind of messy with that different pattern.

>>17879345
I don't like how the indices of the new ones are filled with lume, and the little numbers around the dial clutter it up too much

Yeah this is exactly what I was looking for. I just wish it came with a bracelet instead of a rubber strap.

The rubber strap really doesn't fit. Might look better on a bracelet.

>>17879402
His collection does not rival Mort’s at all. Mort’s Journe alone is worth more than Poortadello’s collection.
He got the name because he blogs and avatarfags exactly like Mort, just a poorer version of him.

>>17879395
Make sure you take your watches to an independent watchmaker for service. A shocking amount (including luxury brands like tudor and omega, maybe rolex) will just swap out movements and then service the original movement later so they can put it in another watch.

>>17879412
I personally don't mind the movement as much as I do the dial. The former is hidden away while the latter is in plain view. It's not a rational thing.

>>17879412
Omega does not. The movement and the case are both marked with the serial number. Don’t fib. There’s plenty of legit reasons to hate Omega, there’s no need to make stuff up.

>SEIKO makes it policy to usually keep a stock of spare parts for GRAND SEIKO watches for 10 years. In principle, your watch can be reconditioned within this period if used normally. (Replacement parts are those which are essential to maintaining the functional integrity of the watch.)
>The number of years that a watch is considered repairable may vary greatly depending on the conditions under which it was used, and normal accuracy may not be achieved in some cases. We recommend, therefore, that you consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased when having them repair your watch.
>The case, dial, hands, glass and bracelet, or parts thereof may be replaced with substitutes if the originals are not available.

a watch should not be gold unless it is actual gold

>>17879438

Also it's just the reality of mech chronos. You're paying $1500 min for a watch and $500 for services for valjouxpowered watch. Or a $200 seagull to have for shits in giggles. Its not a forever watch but it's still fun to play around with. Mech chronos feel way better that quartz.

>>17879515
fact

>>17879412
> A shocking amount (including luxury brands like tudor and omega, maybe rolex) will just swap out movements and then service the original movement later so they can put it in another watch.
TAG has been known to do this.
However if a watch has a COSC certificate or equivalent they won't.
The vast majority of swiss shitters, that aren't chronometers, will likely get this sort of treatment when you bring it in for a movement "service".
Quality brands however don't do this if anything because they're all certified chronometers generally by default.

>>17879569
This interesting to know, thank you. Makes the cosc tissots a good value.

get the solar GMT instead

>>17878445

>>17879660
The dial is set too deep, the date window frame is too thick. Other than that it's pretty good.

>>17879677

I was the one who originally named him "the OmegaDrunk" but I gotta say, Poortadello is much better. It fits him.

You got to post a watch after making a statement like that. Conspicuously, you did not. You probably just failed to attach the image to your post, right?

That's a travel time watch, it has a second hour hand so you can have two timezones visible on travel. It's like a part-time GMT watch. The subdial at 10 o'clock lets you know if it's day or night back home.

no more amusing than watching you whiteknight him. do you think he's going to give you a watch or something?

>>17879817
>and the simp STILL haven't posted a single, solitary watch.
At this point, you have to wonder if he even likes watches, or if he's just THAT afraid of getting laughed at.

>>17879820
he has a fucking maddox grail? no wonder you guys hate him. hasn't posted anything since september...do you think he's liverpoisoned up?

>>17879825
It's a franken, unfortunately. But yeah, it's still very cool.

>>17879824
>At this point, you have to wonder if he even likes watches, or if he's just THAT afraid of getting laughed at.
No, it's 100% afraid of getting laughed at. He's just a little bitch.
He called out a guy, the guy posted a JLC. And then ... nothing.
Classic woman behavior. I'm surprised he didn't claim he was raped.

>>17879827
why didn't anyone call him out on wus if it's a franken? that doesn't make sense.

>>17879825
Nope. His is a frankenwatch. A repro dial and a movement from a donor watch. He could not prove it was genuine. He has admitted as much and then hid behind the classic "Yeah, but I'm never going to sell it" defense.

>>17879834
it must be fake. no one with that kind of money would post here except Mortadello.

>>17879834
It makes plenty of sense. Are you daft? It's WUS. You can post obvious fakes and no one will ever call you out. It's considered rude. (But if you try and sell anything, no one will buy from you either.)

>>17879836
the serial number would tell. did you ask him for it?

>>17879841
>the serial number would tell. did you ask him for it?
he wouldn't give it.

>>17879841
You could ask him for the simplest thing, he would not offer any proof or bother taking any new pictures of the watch. Total phony.
He probably got rid of it five years ago.

>>17879842
can't imagine a reason why he wouldn't give it to a basketweaving forum...
We should ask mort for his serials

>>17879846
For that matter, I can't imagine why you're gargling his balls so hard.
I mean, why?

Also, Mort's gone too. He's probably waiting out the general until people forget the Mortadello Ritardello song.

>>17879846
Well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway. Another thread hit the bump limit without your cocksucking ass having to post a watch. Good job.

>>17879855

Lmao, I'm sure the Poortadello simp who is too cowardly to post a watch does. She's such a sweetie, but she's shy.

>>17879858
there not that expensive, are they?

>>17879861
>there not that expensive, are they?
No, not really, sweetie. You can build a decent franken for about 5k. Sourcing a donor watch isn't hard, but getting a case milled can be pain if you don't know a watchmaker.
A real one costs about 20k. One that has boxes, papers, proof it's real is between 25 and 30k, depending on condition.

>>17879863
what about without box and papers? some on chrono24 are still that expensive and without too; they are all fake , right?

>>17879865
>what about without box and papers? some on chrono24 are still that expensive and without too; they are all fake , right?
Without any kind of verification and paperwork from Omega, you have to treat them as fake. Unfortunately, because the watch blew up in value, along with an easily reproduced dial and an off-the-shelf movement, all sorts of scammers started making copies. All you have to do is swindle one retard and you've made your money back.

Simple watches are easy to replicate. Just ask Panerai. They can't even tell their own watches from fakes.

>>17879865
the ugly gold one has a box...that one might be real. the other ones don't except the one that looks funky; that one couldn't be original

>>17879868
how is the lemaia5100 'off the shelf?

>>17879660
I don't know what model it is or if it's currently in production so I don't know the specs, but it has no lume and I'm betting the case diameter and width is too big, they gave it a retarded lug width so putting aftermarket straps on it would be a pain in the ass, and the water resistance is probably shit.

That's actually another thing about that baby blue "dive watch," it only has 100m water resistance. Many of their watches just aren't built as tightly as you'd think they be. They sell $3k eco-drive 1 watches with fake screws in them like they're a fuckin nautilus or something so you'll think "hey, I bet that case is water tight!" then you check the specs and the water resistance rating just says "splash resistant." I get most people aren't going to be swimming with their watches, but come on, the bare minimum a watch case needs to do in 2023 is protect the fuckin movement.

>>17879870
