Stop wearing Casio watches.

>>17881173
Thanks Anon! What are you wearing today?

>>17881175
Interesting! If things aren't going well in his life, maybe he just wants some comrades to walk beside him for a bit, just so he knows he's not alone.

>>17881182
I'm not sure, but that's a beautiful Reverso. I wish I could wear them...

>>17881183
Thanks AquaTerraChad. Sorry I've missed so much! How's the Omega running?

>>17881188
>>17881195
Maybe if people posted watches, it might make others feel confident to do the same.

>>17881199
Oh my....well, since Mort and I got songs each, someone needs to construct one for Whoretadello too!

>>17881223
Yes, it is I. I'm flattered, but I'm just a guy who bought watches, got the ones he always wanted, and is now sailing along the river of contentment wearing what I want when I want, and not being tempted by new offerings. I've been lucky, and I hope the same for all who lust after watches. I look forward to our interactions too; I've never seen that Tudor before...is it ceramic? The Credor too seems unusual, and the Nomos absurdly thin! Cool stuff! Are you the fellow seeing ladies-of-the-night?

>>17881249
I will help them to bear this burden, as long as it is theirs to bear.

>>17881306
Most Omega boutiques I've ever been to were part of a 'Swatch' boutique; I haven't seen one that was alone before. Usually they can be very busy, and if they sell jewellery too, it can be tough to get 'personal service'. As long as you know that, then it's okay. Best service I ever had was at Vacheron and JLC.

>>17881350
Speedies can take 50m, no problem; just make sure they have been pressure tested just prior. No sense taking risks.

>>17881357
Always wanted one, but the reports of servicing are abysmal.

I know I shouldn't spend $4,000 on a G-shock, but dammit I want one of these so badly

>>17881508
Buy it just to prove us that you aren't poor

>The only true chart.

Haven't posted in this thread in a long while
I want a gmt

>>17881515
Nice. I'm looking for a president. Not sure what kind of dial though. Definitely yellow gold tho

pic related is my collection so far if you could call it that.
>Your budget
soft $1k
>Watch type, e.g. cope, larp, poor
cope, I guess?
>Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz, solar
whatever is fine
>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
just a simple three hander, date complication is ok but don't even need that
>Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet, rubber
leather, but if it comes in a bracelet I'd just get a leather strap
>Wrist size or desired case size ex: > 40mm marabout, 37-39mm preop, 33-36mm patrician, < 33mm gf tier
37-39mm
my wrist size is 6.75" so I don't know if 33-36mm would be too small for me, but I wouldn't rule it out for the kind of watch I'm looking for

>>17881534
forgot pic related.

>>17881538
Do yourself a favor, and get a Hamilton.

>>17881511
I don't need the validation of this general to prove I'm not poor lol

>>17881515
I want an Explorer II 16570 hopefully for under 5.5k what with all of the price dropping.

>Even as I raised my eyes, I was thrilled with a feeling of wonder; for, now, the hazy light had resolved into a single, great star, of vivid green (blue).

My first "serious" watch in my entire life, pic related.
All watches that have been before were either gifts by other people, so they selected them for me, or immature bs that I bought myself like military style khaki colored G-shock.

This, on other hand, has been selected solely by me. I am 29 years old. What do you think?

Baltic Hermetique

>>17881567
i’m glad i’m not the only one with an s.a.r., together we must lume the world

>>17881534
Baltic Hermetique

>>17881574
It's nice. Looks better in non-stock photographs.

>>17881574
Not a fan of the fang-styled indices and the gold seconds hand. There are better looking Presages IMO.

>>17881582
Are you talking about icy light blue dial with black glossy strap? I was considering that one, but I would need to replace original strap with something else, which I didnt like.

In this case, however, the brown leather strap compliments the navy blue dial good enough imo, so no replacements/adjustments are needed.

>>17881581
Thanks.

>>17881508
Why are they 4k, Anon? That being said, buy what you love, and to hell with the rest. If you want it, just get it and don't look back. You only live once; just be sure before buying.

>>17881515
Nice; how is it running? As for the GMT, are you thinking of more Rolex, or another option? I think the Rolex is the most iconic GMT...but it might feel like 'more of the same' for you.

>>17881533
Love the gold-gold Presidents....admittedly I've always been partial to the champagne dial with baton indices. Classic yet still somewhat legible.

>>17881561
Prices are definitely dropping on the secondary market now. Keep your eyes open, and maybe wait a few more months. I've even seen inventory in the ADs now, so that's a sure sign the grey market will drop further.

>>17881574
I like it man! Do you have it yet, or is it still shipping?

>>17881567
>>17881578
Looking so cool. Pic related is the best I can do, and that's only with the help of a blacklight.

>>17881599
No, I don't have a specific presage in mind when I say that. There are many Presages out there that look better IMO. But hey, if you like it, you like it.
>In this case, however, the brown leather strap compliments the navy blue dial good enough imo, so no replacements/adjustments are needed.
In this hobby, I wouldn't place too much emphasis on the strap that comes with the watch. Those can be replaced/upgraded and are usually just garbage at the lower price points anyways. The dial is the one thing that can't be replaced.

I got this for my dad for Christmas, he will like it a lot bros :)

>>17881605
Cool. Bulova is an underappreciated marque.

>>17881508
why

>>17881605
I will get myself panda Lunar Pilot when the price drops a bit.

>>17881490
I'm going to buy this and be smooth like akiyama

>>17881607
thanks, I realized that he simply wouldn't care about any mechanical watch nonsense (especially since movements in my price range of ~900 usd are kinda meh) nor would he ever get one serviced so I came home to good old quartz. pretty sweeping hand, pretty dial, nice size and a plain leather strap just the way he likes it. It really helps to just dumb down your thinking a lot.
I'm honestly considering getting a 96B415 for myself. Simple, accurate and pretty.
>>17881622
hope you enjoy it anon

>>17881627
Normally i would say ruined by a small second hand, but here its like puking on a pile of shit.

>>17881578

>Looking so cool
I love the almost brutalist approach it takes
> Pic related is the best I can do
I don't know that the S.A.R. can be outdone anon, your lume looks purrdier though

So I have a nickel allergy, where can I find nato straps with titanium or plastic buckles that aren't priced scalper tier? I can probably get away with using a metal watch head but the metal buckle will probably still give me a rash.
I don't feel like switching to all plastic or rubber watches either.

>>17881622
what's the lug to lug on the new one?

>>17881605
I've seen a YT video or two with these...the sweep is wonderful, and the case shape is distinct for modern watches. I'm sure he'll like it, and be thankful for whom it came from.

>>17881622
If you haven't already, I'd seriously recommend trying one on before purchasing. They wear uniquely.

>>17881639
Yes; to me, the Muehle is the kind of watch one would wear in '1984' (especially with the skeleton hands, shrouded lugs, and off center crown). Does it hold good time?

>>17881657
I think they're smaller than the original release, non?

>>17881609
I really like square G-shocks but the metal ones I've tried on before always feel cheap and unsatisfying. For the MR-G they really focused on making a quality case and bracelet for it. It feels very solid and well-built. Also it comes with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.

>>17881603
More than likely not a Rolex, I was thinking the Explorer 2 but honestly I would like another brand, the root beer GMT looks excellent though.
Will probably be next year to celebrate a milestone.

>>17881661
yeah I see the case size is within my limit but I need to know the lug to lug too

>>17881657
I believe i heard its either the same as the old model or tiny bit smaller.

>>17881668
looks like it's down to 50mm from 52. Still too big for me unfortunately

>>17881661
That aesthetic is what really drew me to it. It's an aesthetic I find very appealing. I find beauty is most effective in primitive contexts. Placing restrictions and hurdles on art always yields the most interesting results.
>Does it hold good time?
No idea, I just got it

>>17881574
A good first direction, congrats anon.

>>17881538
Rate my Hamilton :()

>>17881541
Wrong post and forgot pic
rate my Hamilton tho

>>17881605
I saw this the other day at macys and it looked sharp, how much did you get it? Do you have it and can u post pics?

>>17881574
Seiko dials are amazing, wish more companies would make nice patterned dials

>>17881695
Noice Hamilton

>>17881695
Nice watch but in my opinion there's too many numbers on that dial. Personally I don't like any numbers on my watch dials, I prefer batons or simple hour markers

Why do people like to say first "real" watch instead of just saying "first watch?"

>>17881715
Because they like to differentiate between something they got in a happy meal as an 8 year old and something they bought themselves with way more money?

saw this on the Citizen page
what is going on here?

>>17881741
You mean the alignment of the red line? It's just not photographed at precisely 0 degrees.

>>17881750
There's a difference between the angle of the shot affecting how it looks, and being actually misaligned. It's the latter in that pic.

>>17881751
NTA but yeah, it's fucked up. Printed badly. Just look at the 20 and 50 minutes on the bezel. 20 is lined up perfectly but 50 is way off.

I just realized high horology is a scam.

>>17881490
Based omegadrunk is back. How are you, fren?

>>17881751
>>17881752
>Tell me you don't understand photography without telling me you don't understand photography.
Yikes!

>>17881759
Weak bait

>>17881757
How so?

>>17881709
I guess cuz it’s supposed to be a field watch all the numbers are there? It has made me more stupid reading watches now tho, it takes me a second longer with non number watches
Pic related was a watch I loved seeing but didn’t wanna shell out for so the silver Hamilton is a nice cope

>>17881760
>I'm not retarded, it's le bait meme, r-right guys?

>>17881763
Not him but ur retarded anon if not bait

>>17881763
Stop trying

Is there a silicone/rubber watch band in existence that’s light, thin, doesn’t stick to clothes/hair, flexible, and looks good?

>>17881766
>silicone/rubber
>looks good
Pick one (1).

>>17881766
>>17881772
As much as it pains me, Richard Mille rubber straps are fucking based.

>tried on a hublot
>liked it
it's joever

>>17881757
Yep. I've given up on building a big collection too. I've got 3 watches and have no real urge to add anything else. Formal watch, casual watch, beater watch. I don't need anything else

>>17881772
I’ve hated every silicone strap except the glycine one, if I can find one in 20mm I’d get it, very thin and flexible and smooth to the skin, unsure if they make it tho
>>17881776
Will check it out!

Dunno why more people don't have these with the numbers on the dial. Way better looking.

>>17881578
>>17881639
This watch is weird, it shouldn't work, but somehow it does.

>>17881695
Looks good in silver.

>>17881829
I would gladly swap my Cocktail time for your picrel, the dial is even better and it's a bit smaller.

>>17881855
Yeah I'm really tempted to buy that rn. 378€ is the best offer I found. I guess that's good?

>>17881858
Not really, keep looking,or maybe get a used one, some light scratches don't make that big of a difference, unless you really want a new one.

>>17881858
I mean it probably is, idk really, i javen't bought a watch in ages.

>>17881858
Unless 50 or 70 bucks are a huge deal to you that's an acceptable price.

>Parcel delayed
>FedEx International """Priority""" still doesn't update more than once a day
Wish everyone would just use DHL

>>17881866
I don't want those ketchup and mustard colored assholes on my property.

>>17881815
Richard Mille straps can only be attached to Richard Mille watches, tho.

>>17881875

>>17881574
I am a seiko fan, but the cocktail- I just don't know. Whenever I see it irl, I just feel that it is too much bling bling, and this comes from a guy who owns a sharp edged. I guess it's fine but absolutely not my taste.
Still, solid choice.

>>17881695
ot looks good on a bracelet but not the one you posted with those endlinks

>>17881741
thats visibly off, either the bezel or the dial is fucked

>>17881503
>How's the Omega running?
Very well since it got back from the service. I last reset it when summer time ended here and it's 15 seconds or so ahead.

What are the feelings about the Timex Expedition? Simple, utilitarian, affordable af, military inspired and timeless. Or just poorfag cope?

>>17881919
>timex
I never gave that brand a second look. What's their gimmick?

>>17881919
A watch for people who don't care about watches. It inspires no feeling and merits no discussion.

>>17881919
I like it. Been looking at same exact watch today.

>A utilitarian watch is actually being utilitarian
>WHAAAAAAT?

This watch is teuer to what it's supposed to be than any Hamilton or marathon larp. It's an actual practical and utilitarian timepiece.

>>17881921
>What's their gimmick?

The American Swatch.
They pioneered the disposable movements with 0 jewels and made a lot of affordable widely available and attractive beaters.

Later they became more like Casio, making cheap quartz with backlight.

But hey at least Timex is chrome coated brass case rather than chromed plastic.

>>17881926
So it is *that* watch that people buy as presents and the receiver never wears it?

>>17881927
No, you're thinking Fossil.

Timex is for the blue collar people who like to know what time it is.

Why oh why is seiko so fucking retarded and Jewish to charge 1100 usd for this 600-700 dollar watch?

>>17881950
they made a GMT Alpinist? That's kinda based NGL:EoE

>>17881950

Show me a swiss watch with more shit than that for 1000$

>>17881950
>600-700 dollar watch
It should be no more than 400 dollars. It's just a fucking Seiko.

>>17881514
I never understood why consumer and ultra luxury are both smug and shaking hands. Consumer shitters make me want to kill myself. Someone please de-autism.

>>17881950
600 would be too cheap, I think 950 is what it should be.

>>17881960
you can get a Tritium gmt for $900

>>17881970
NTA but good god that GMT font is UGLY.

>>17881972
>50%
aight chill. These watches are relatively new still. They go for 950 on chrono (from Japan) and 1200 everywhere else.

>>17881965
The ultra-lux and consumer are both enjoying watching the Omegay and Tooter owners coping.

>>17881972
Well, apparently they don't.

>>17881981
This is literally the best watch at 5K and the only one coping are the haters.

>>17881985

>>17881985
Is that what you tell the whores?
>Ja, es ist ähnlich wie eine echte Rolex.

>>17881972

Is buying sloppy seconds some kind of rich person I'm too poor to understand?

>>17881988
Are you 15 or something? Of course I don't tell whores and my dates how much my watches cost. Especially the ones who know where I live.

>>17881991
>Especially the ones who know where I live.
To be fair, though, the ones who know where you live know you can't afford a Rolex, so it's a moot point.

>>17881985
>This is literally the best watch at 5K and the only one coping are the haters.
Every aspect of your life right now is coping.
Your watches are cope for the watches you actually want.
Your whores are cope for the wife who left you.
Your blogposting is cope for the friends you don't have.

>>17881985

It's funny how fanboys think rolex is something unachivable and put it on a pedestal and can not conceive the thought of
>''maybe some people jsut don't like rolex?''
Rolex is 100% marketing bullshit that have never, ever innovated. Tehy are the Apple of the watch world and I would rather die than be seen wearing one. It's like walkign aroudn with an iphone.

>>17881875
That's why people call him "Dick Miller."

>>17881605

>>17882001
>>doesn’t buy bracelet
I did, a black one with red stitching. Plus the one that comes with the watch but, I really like the stock one. I don't get the hate online.

I keep hearing Rolex mass produces about a million watches a year, but if that's true where the fuck are they? Surely we'd be tripping over them in the street if this were true. Who bought the million rolexes produced last year that there are still wait lists this year?

What chronograph under 40mm should I get lads? Don't want to spend much, thinking of the baltany tuxedo for tomorrow's AliExpress sale.

>>17881695
Love Hamilton. Clean and built to a standard no other maison can match at the price point.

>>17881715
You'll understand when you get a real watch.

>>17882003
And yet at the same time, you have legions of Toopoor owners seething through their teeth over Rolex. Crazy, right?

>>17881766
No.

>>17882011
Seagull 1963

>>17882010
every single one of these people wants a rolex

>>17882010
Well if every american buys a rolex, it would take them 350-400 years to produce them.
I assume due to their fake waiting list, whenever someone gets to buy rolex, they buy multiple at once. Whhat's their market share anyway? 1 million scattered around the globe isn't that much, considering everything. Don't forget proxy wars and plandemics produce riches for many people.

Any cheap dive watches(computers) for actual diving?

>>17882016
No, it always starts the other way around
>''haha toopoor fags seethe about rolex''
>''No, I actually don't even think about rolex, at all''
>''Look look you're seething again!''
It's ALWAYS the tudor haters that mention rolex first. Just like this convo.

>>17881985
this Tudor is fugly as fuck mate, you should've went for a vintage model.

>>17881985
Not even the best tudor lil bro

>>17882025
>>17882026
It's subjective. I think it looks the part, it's the perfect daily. Once you decide to get a tudor, then you buy the ones you like. You can't go wrong either way.

>>17882024
>This delusion
The overwhelming majority of Rolex owners don't even know Tudor exists. Get fucking real.

>>17882027
fair enough.

the only Tudor that interest me really are the old vintage prince model and maybe the Black Bay Pro. Alot of people hate the BB Pro, I don't care, I still like it.

>>17882027
>Once you decide to get a tudor
...then you should stop and reevaluate the poor life decisions you made to get to that point.

>>17882009
>I don't get the hate online.
Oh, it's not hate. What's to hate? It's laughter.

>>17881514
>The necessary corollary to the chart.

>>17882034
you forgot Sinn... where do you put Sinn?

>>17882035
If a watch brand is not on this chart, it does not elicit strong enough emotions to matter.

>>17882030
Like I said, follow our conversation and tell me who mentioned rolex first.
>>17882031
I think it's a very sleek looking GMT. Maybe it's the fact that t's 39mm that turns people off? I don't get it either. I would buy it.
>>17882033
No I mean about the bracelet. It feels nice but you read many complains online that you ''absolutely have to swap it out''

>>17882035
Is your vision impaired? Look at the pink guy.

>>17882031
>Alot of people hate the BB Pro,
More like they're frustrated by it.

It's so close to being absolutely perfect....and then Tudor had to go and toot the whole thing up.
>cream colored lume instead of white

>>17882044
Then post watches, not pictures of underage Albanian girls, dumbass.

>>17882046
>>let's make a 39mm watch 15mm thick
At least with the ceramic, they hide the thickness very good due to the colour and longer diameter. With this one, I guess it will look like a chunky boy.

>>17882050
Thick ceramic watches are even dumber. One knock against a door frame and the case shatters.
When it does, post pics.

>>17882048
Touche.
My presage has been in service for 4 weeks now. I hope I get it back some time this year. And when I do, it will lose 3 minutes a day and Seiko will tell me:

>>17882067
Breguet never was, as far as I know.

>>17882069
>Why is AP no grouped in with Lange and fp journe
AP has only one model, the Royal Oak, and it's a rapper's watch.

They are referred to as part of the Trinity simply out of tradition. They have not been peers of PP or VC for a long, long time.

Been eyefucking this baltic for quite some time, for the longest time i have wanted the blue dial watch and oris 65 is too expensive for me. Also i have an erection for domed crystals.
But. The movement is crap. It is shit and doesn't fit 700+ euro watch at all. Plus i don't think the blue dial look as good on steel case as it does on bronze. Help me out boys.

>>17882073
>They are referred to as part of the Trinity simply out of tradition. They have not been peers of PP or VC for a long, long time.
They still are in terms of price. Because they like to be.

Regardless, piece of shit AP will never stop being part of it because its buyers are forcing them like there's no tomorrow. Every shitty dealer wears one and pretends it's amazing when it's really on the same tier as Rolex. Yeah they're independent but so are RM and FPJ and both are meme trash.

The only two brands that successfully reinvent the wheel are PP and VC, they regularly come out with amazing grand complications and they are actually desirable, unlike AP's pathetic piss poor attempts at that.

>>17882075
What's your budget?

>>17882010

>>17882010
>Who bought the million rolexes produced last year that there are still wait lists this year?
Nobody, they're sitting in ADs storage, I'm confident the shortage is artificial at this point to drive up prices, another ponzi scheme.

And this. The ones that aren't listed are kept by the AD to boost prices and the others are listed to fetch double their value online. Plus some people riding coat tails selling their collections.

Hmm...the best diver I can think of in that range is the Squale 50ATMOS ref. 1521-026/A. 922 dollars.

It's 500m WR, ETA 2824. The design is basically unchanged from the 1960s, just updated for modern materials like a sapphire crystal instead of plastic and SuperLuminova instead of tritium. (Thankfully, no faux patina lume)

>>17882100
I dont want a diving watch i want a good looking watch and this squale is fucking terrible.

>>17882105
>I dont want a diving watch i want a good looking watch
Did you post the right image in >>17882075 ? kek

>>17882108
Yes, that baltic is beautiful and squale is ugly.

>>17882110
Then buy the Baltig and learn to live with the shitty movement, or keep saving and buy a better watch with a better movement.

If you saved up 1000 bucks for a watch, you can save up another 1000.

>>17882117
I would rather have a beatiful watch with shitty movement than an ugly watch with less shitty movement.

>>17882110
So get the Baltic retard

>>17882120
>I would rather have a beatiful watch with shitty movement than an ugly watch with less shitty movement.
No one's arguing with you.
Only you can decide if you can live with the shitty movement and not feel like you've completely wasted your money.

>>17882120
Truth be told, pretty much everything in your price range (and, actually, even double your price range) is going to be total dogshit.

Like >>17882122 said, it's up to you to waste your money or keep saving. What is it you actually want? The Omega Seamaster 300 heritage version or something?

Presumably you would get it on the bracelet and swap it out for a strap later? The bracelet doesn't look half bad, itself.

In my opinion, sixties-style divers always look best on a Tropic strap.

Dum-dum move. Always buy the bracelet. Get the strap separately. (With higher end brands the AD will usually give you a strap gratis.)

Bracelets are gay, a man should never wear a bracelet.

Not with his potato phone camera, unfortunately. Good pictures has never been his thing, but a low-res pic of a Journe on a fat wrist from five years ago is the closest this thread has ever come to millionaire-tier luxury.

This. When you try to sell your shitter (and you will, since it's just a fucking Oris and, hopefully, you'll make more than minimum wage someday) trying to sell a watch without the bracelet just makes it that much harder.

Surely most of them already have their rolexes, right?

>>17882182
Well, no. Rolex can produce about 1-1.2M watches per year. America alone has over 18M millionaires.
Add to that that Rolex is not exclusively for millionaires. You can be downright middle class and easily be able to afford a Rolex.

>>17882198
That's also a good point. Wearing a watch is no longer a requirement, while Apple Watches already outsell the entire luxury watch industry combined.

>>17882187
maybe once I get home.
>>17882198
From what I see outside. There are 8 to 10 smart watches for every non-smart watch. And of those non-smartwatches, only one in five is mechanical

What do you do when your retarded poorfag mother buys you a shitty fashion watch for way more money than she has and thinks she did something good? I can't wear that shit and I can't return it and I know she spent like a year's pension on that because she's dumb as fuck.

>>17882226
Well, of coruse we will ask you to post said watch.
Second, you can wear it whenever you visit her.
You can always sell it on chrono24 and buy one youw ant. You rmother wont notice.

Gaining a few minutes per week isn't the end of the world. Just remember to re-set it every few days. It's a fun little ritual that gets you more in-touch with the idea that this is a mechanical device.

>>17882235
Yeah I'd rather kill myself than sell my ass to Germans.

It's regulated in-house by baltic to a much higher accuracy.
My watch gains 20-30 seconds per week on average, I usually re-set it once per two weeks.

>>17882252
>Yeah I'd rather kill myself than sell my ass to Germans.
Probably explains the dead-eyed look on the faces of Whoretadello's hookers.

So are you but you have money so you can afford to pretend it doesn't matter.

>>17882286
That's a good counter point. Fact is, m8, anyone who has never been poor will ever understand us. They will only understand once their own ''let them eat cake''-moment come. Until then, they will pretend to be virtuous and spout stuff like ''but she cares for you and your hobby-'' and altruistic western bullshit like that. Fact is, Money is the second most important thing in life, after health. If you don't have money, you can't even help your loved ones. You don't have freedom, REAL freedom is having 10 years worth of ''Fuck You''-money when shit hits the fan again. I can go much deeper into detail but you get the point.

>>17881985
eh...grey market can get you some wonderful gems at 5k, though all pre-owned. But the cost comes with risk and research. How's the Tudor running?

>>17882011
It depends on what you're buying it for. Do you have any other chronos, or is this your first one?

>>17882016
Because Rolex is THE aspirational brand to the mass public. It's been that way since the 80s, and will still be that way for a while due to their lead in the marketing arena. People still buy them as 'wedding watches', as 'milestone watches', etc. And of course, they're absurdly popular on the Asian continent, so that's where most of them end up.

>>17882023
I wouldn't get a cheap one. Go Suunto and stay safe.

>>17882051
You don't know. They're fine unless you drop them on concrete or ceramic floors. Aside from that, they always look new.

>>17882166
Maybe I'll take some new ones one day. No need at the moment; it's not like you guys don't know the watches I have. Sometimes I put them on different straps or bracelets though...

>>17882363
Is there some reason u don't wear it outside

>>17882360
I am here for you Anon.

>>17882362
I know from experience, and I'm definitely not guessing. My life is full, and I have been lucky, I know that. There are many others who suffer far more than I am, or ever have. It is never my intent to diminish the pain that people feel, only to help them to see a path forward in which they can take control of what is grieving them and strengthen their position in life.

The first thing that affects how we deal with anything in life is our perspective. It can galvanize us into action, but it can also sabotage our efforts if misdirected or coming from a place of despair. Therefore, I only ask you to consider it from a positive and loving standpoint, as that is always the best to begin with. It's not easy, of course not. If it were, more people would do it. I believe you can do it Anon.

>>17882363
I'm glad! I understand your 'downside' about not wearing it though, but at least you always have something to look forward to if elements of life are difficult. Wear it in good health, Anon.

>>17882364
Spot on.

>>17882369
You're kind, Anon, and I appreciate it. What are you wearing today, fren?

>>17882378
I wouldn't wear that if I were working outside either; I normally wear my Mark 40 which I could theoretically 'bash' around if need be. Ceramic is not hard-wearing if struck on the wrong angle by anything metallic.

>>17882351
>Maybe I'll take some new ones one day. No need at the moment; it's not like you guys don't know the watches I have. Sometimes I put them on different straps or bracelets though...

New pictures are nice. Otherwise, you don't even need to post pics at all, just list off everything you own and be done with it.

Anyway, here's what I'm wearing today. It's my anniversary and my wife and I are going out tonight, then spending a weekend at a bed & breakfast. I'll probably be back Monday when I'm bored at work. (Haha, who am I kidding, I will definitely be back Monday.)

>>17882374
Larping as what? A guy who believes a man who's gotten to 40 and doesn't have kids is a failure?
That's not larping. That is what I believe.

>>17882378
no no I mean, I wear it often outside, but when I decide not to, I regret it.
>>17882381
Thanks for your kind words Omega king.

>>17882381
There's no way this is not an act to troll the thread. It gets reactions, that's for sure.

>>17882388
>a man who's gotten to 40 and doesn't have kids is a failure

I go both ways. Obviously, we have a racial responsibility to have children, but if you're so pozzed by the media that you don't have kids...I hate to say it, but it's probably better if you don't have kids; that way your defective genes are removed from the gene pool.

>>17882384
>It's my anniversary and my wife and I are going out tonight
I am very happy for you m8. Treasure her and don't get distracted or influenced by the sirens.

Yeah, tranny anon's VCs are really nice.
Mortadello's Journe (and all Journes) is extremely technically impressive but I just can't get on board with how any Journe looks.
Personally I like the whole Altiplano line a lot. Piaget is a really underrated brand. I'd definitely get one for myself if I had the money and needed a dress watch.

He's posted it before. The numerals looked weird to me at first but they make sense when you recognize there's a square in the negative space. It's a neat design.

Nice! I've always been impressed with Piaget's quality, but the designs have never spoken to me. I'm glad you can enjoy it, and Happy Anniversary!

>>17882455
Because I have been exercising more lately Anon, and the first thing to go is always fat on the arms and legs. After that, hopefully ye olde stomache will disappear too, but I can only wish.

Yes, it looks even larger when you use a macro lens and take a pic close up, like I did. On the strap, the head of the watch will always look larger than on the bracelet. As many here would attest (and rightfully so), I'm not good at photography. lol

Consider this pic of the chrono; it's the same mm as the black one, but thicker in general. I took this shot further away, and now it looks fine. Watches are tough to photograph if you just have a handheld with no tripod and shaky hands...

>>17882459
It will take a while to explain and it's not that interesting really, it's the usual stuff but, at this point, I might as well tell what happened. I will try and keep it short.
We've been seperated since April already, so it's nothing new.
Last year in spring, I was tired of her because of the same old reason, her extreme jealousy. When I say extreme I mean the absolute maximum you can imagine. If I looked, by accident, at another womens ass for example, then the entire day was ruined, and I mean ruined. Well after 4 years I couldn't take it anymore, I guess nobody would, and I went out to seek other women, effectively becoming what she feared the most.
I was surprised at how easy the dating game was at my age (I am 30 now, 29 when I was out hunting), so I decided to end it. Which wasn't easy. The tears and crying during the first weeks, were some of the hardest weeks of my life. Me sleeping on the couch, her coming to me in the middle of the night crying and begging me to go sleep with her--- Well after 3 weeks she gave up, and let me go.
6 Months later, to no ones surprise, we ended up together. I was with, let's call her ''J'', at that time for 2 months and later with ''G''. I posted ''J'' only once I think, the half-nigg with the rhasta, we're still in contact almost daily. I broke up with G to get back with my wife. But that didn't last long because all trust was gone at that point. And she broke up with Me in April. So in the end, I lost both. G was one of those girls that made you feel like a teenager again. I was so in love with her, I still don't know why I gave her up to go back to my wife considering I was the one who couldn't handle her jealousy anymore..
1/2

>>17882486
I'm starting to think the drunkard is Asian. This pic kind of gives it away >>17882468 and his generic insect taste fits too. That horrible bracelet is a sight to behold also. And the fit of that watch? Note how he even slid it all the way up his forearm where the wrist is naturally thicker. And it still stands over on both sides of his wrist. Fuck. The 6 o clock genuinely looks like it's suspended in the air, lmao.

>>17882486
Time to accept we live in the 21st century, anon. Watches like that Piaget look out of place if you're under 40 and you're not hiding them under a shirt cuff.

Stop samefagging you fucking idiot. It's obvious. You're not getting away with this, nobody here would defend somebody else's wrist size, it's ludicrous.

Your fit here >>17882468 is honestly one of the worst I've ever seen. You have such little bitch wrists that even your forearm can't support the Speedy. The lugs are not just at the edge of your wrist they're literally over it. A teenage girl trying on a watch, that's what this looks like.

Have some fucking dignity.

>>17882491
This summer was my downfall arc so to speak. I started fucking everything that moved (and hat a vagina), from strippers, to hookers, to normal women, to colleagues-- And I was drunk, not a lot but much more than usual. It wasn't all bad though. I re-kindled my love for cars and I was at the Nürburgring and other race tracks a lot. If you're often on /o/, you might've seen my threads even. I was posting there a lot during the summer.
Well by now, I am a bit known in the underground of Nürnberg, at least the stripper and hooker aspect of the nightlife.
Right now I am dating J, I show and tell her everything that I do but she loves me to much (allegedly) and she accepts who I am and still wants to be together. I don't know why, don't ask. Maybe she thinks I'm rich because I am very open with spending my money. Ah, she was there with me at the boutique when I bought the Tudor. It was the same day I posted Her.
About my wife, I tried a couple of times to get her back because she is a very rare woman I guess, even with all her problems. We went to Vienna for a short week, too, we cuddled and we talked a lot but it didn't lead to anything.
I found out what fish swim out there, and it isn't pretty. Especially our age (30s), if a woman is still childless and single, then there's something wrong with ther and she's been damaged already by Ex's.
Even though the Fucking game is easy, finding a decent wife is very much impossible.
I have fun though, I really do and, I had time to think about myself and experience many things. I will be in Japan for 3 months for example, starting december.

Replying before you get banned again.

You are truly pathetic for trying to blame your wife's jealousy. She didn't cheat, you did.

>>17882509
I am just being honest here. I guess I didn't have high enough tolerance to cope with her jealousy. It was mentally draining. You have to imagine, if we walked outside, she was scanning around for potential ''threats'' to see if I would look at them, and even if she Thought that I looked at them, the day was over. It's the-
>''What happened, why are you so quiet?''
-times ten. Almost daily. It is mentally taxing, you might think I am overreacting but I am not.

>>17882500
>is there where the watch collecting road leads
Yes, go to watchuseek, all old fucks there. Young people (except me apparently) don't post online about fucking watches on traditional forum

>>17882514
>Young people (except me apparently) don't post online about fucking watches on traditional forum
Because most of them can't afford anything worth showing. Of every person I know only one owns a decent watch (two tone Sub) but my collection is worth double that.

>>17882500
I'm a dirty blonde, but whatevs.
What you said about watch collecting is right though.

>>17882499
>I'm a bit well known in the underground of Nuremberg
How fucking delusional is this asswipe?

>>17882522
only the stripper/hooker aspect of it*. Like I said.

>>17882473
Well, maybe start wearing something at home. It gives you more time to enjoy the pieces you have.

>>17882474
You're very kind Anon, and it's okay. It's good for me to hear opinions that are different to mine; it helps me to stay balanced. What are you wearing today Fren?

>>17882477
I can understand; it seems to take longer these days, doesn't it? Still, as long as you're safe, it's okay. Love the coins btw; that's real history.

>>17882490
That would be a shamefur dispray.

>>17882492
But but but...the astronauts wore that bracelet design too, Anon! I thought it was okay for me to larp as a test-pilot/engineer/astronaut here....

>>17882497
>Have some fucking dignity
I am thankful to you, Anon, for your honest opinion; my dignity increases as a result.

>>17882500
Everyone grows older in different ways, Anon. Just be sure you grow wiser in concert. Take your Rolex, post it here, and celebrate life.

>>17882501
It's different for everyone. Some people value 'purpose', some value wealth, some value art, some value creation/destruction, etc. The most value in life comes from actions that help you to grow as a person intellectually and physically. What you choose to do that is up to do you Anon, it's there for the taking.

>>17882503
You may be poor now, but none of us can predict the future. Anything is possible, and change is a serious possibility even within the span of a single day. Have faith in the 'morrow, dear Anon.

>>17882491
>>17882499
>>17882513
I'm so sorry Anon. These things are never easy. All you can do is what you are doing now: determining what makes you happy in life and going after it. I wish you the best of luck, especially in the darkest moments.

>>17882500
>is this thread just full of sad grampas? is this where the watch collecting road leads?
>should I just take my Rolex and get as far away as I can?

Yes, realize that this is not a real hobby. You have a Rolex (post it, please) and you should consider yourself done. Get away, or stay, if you like watching these human trainwrecks blogpost; that's why a lot of us are here. But if you keep "collecting" you'll just end up being lonely, sad and boring.
Whoretadello can at least get hookers.
Poortadello is so boring he gets friendzoned by hookers.
Mortadello probably can't achieve an erection due to obesity.

>>17882520
CitizChad, been a while.
How are you doing this fine Friday evening?

>>17882524
Yeah, you bought some pimp a Rolex while you're wiping away your tears with your Tudor's cleaning cloth.

>>17882535
Underground was the wrong word to use, I ment nightlife.

>>17882527
Thanks fren, it's mind boggling to think you're holding something that's well over a thousand years old in your hands, everyone is really mesmerized by that fact.

I guess I can consider myself old now that I recently turned 30. Then again I feel like the true life I'm meant to live is just in it's beginning. (This is not related watches or coins).

>>17882528
here you go. nothing special. I bought after I got my job after graduating. obviously, I got deep into the rabbit hole, but spending time here, WUS, watching watch YouTube, I realize these are not the people I hang out with. honestly, these are not people anyone hangs out with. time spent posting here could be spent with friends instead.

>>17882530
>>17882520
forgot the watch

>>17882527
>>I'm so sorry Anon. These things are never easy. All you can do is what you are doing now: determining what makes you happy in life and going after it. I wish you the best of luck, especially in the darkest moments.
My darkest moments are over, I only see light ahead. I appreciate once again your kind comments.

>>17882530
Hey buddy. I'm still on the road, in a more familiar place now. I'll see one of my old mates soon.
Have a nice Friday and stay safe bro.

>>17882542
>My darkest moments are over, I only see light ahead.
Serious question. Why?
Have you decided to remain single for the rest of your life? Have you already forgotten that every unmarried woman over 30 is fundamentally broken? What do you have to look forward to?

The only way that light ahead could be a positive is if it was an oncoming train.

>>17882458
About time, reality hits.

>>17882492
>I'm starting to think the drunkard is Asian
Same. He's got real mass shooter energy, but he's also extremely passive-aggressive.

>>17882551
Probably one of those half breeds, ticking timebomb, like Archies fucked up children too

So what ever happened to that guy that was committing fraud with other people's watches? Redemption arc coming?

>>17882528

Truly, the poors are hilarious.

>>17882555
lmao, he was arrested by the feds a couple days ago. He's looking at 20 years. Federal case because of interstate wire fraud. He's fucked, gone for good.

>>17882555
he was a convicted felon who "reformed", this was supposed to be his redemption arc

>>17882558
Post watch. Prove you're not a poor.

>>17882563
Already did, poorfag.

>>17882569
Post it again, to show you're not larping. Shouldn't be hard.

>>17882491

men can't cheat, women ending marriages over slight male infidelity is literal autism
most men who cheat it's a one time thing too, according to statistics
women literally destroy their children's life's over a small meme

>>17882545
I know myself better now. I know what is and what isn't for me. The goal and meaning in life isn't to find a partner that fits you. Every partner is a compromise and a burden. And I am free from those burdens meaning that I have-
>Time
>Money
>Youth/Health
-right now and I am making the best out of it. My future is pursuing my passion, even if it's just a hobby, and improve myself every day. I am not going to force anything anymore and let it come to me. The light is me understanding that I am truly free right now, for the first time in my life. And you never know m8, maybe I will find a Jap Wife in Shibuya, where I'll be staying. My gut tells me though that I will be back in a month because I won't like it there. And that's the thing, I don't know unless I try, and I can and will try because there is nothing and no one holding me back. No money rerstrictions, no time restrictions and no health restrictions.

>>17882573
>all for mulatto pussy?
What? No my wife isn't a mulatto.
>>the half-nigg with the rhasta
>Thought this was your wife. I'm learning as I go
oh. No that's J.

>>17882539
You're not old Anon. At 30, the world starts to change from your perspective, and it stops being driven by the same instigators. Then you find out more about what you value, and things begin to turn. It's a different path, but still one in life. Enjoy every day.

>>17882541
>nothing special
I disagree, it is something special. You got it after you graduated when you got a job. That has meaning. It's an Explorer, which to some people is an ideal or grail piece, and it's a favorite of many people over many generations. Nothing wrong with that and very special when compared to the millions of designs that have come out. I agree with you though; spend time with friends irl. /wt/, like WUS or any other forum, just fills in the gaps. Still, I value your posts Anon.

>>17882542
Glad to hear it!

>>17882551
>>17882553

I like labels too; it helps me determine what is dangerous and what isn't. What are you wearing, Anons?

>>17882573
You may see a different perspective as you get older Anon. Marriage is very complicated, for both parties involved.

>since y'all were clamoring for new pics; I took a macro of the 1861 dial. An Anon was talking about the subdials in the last thread, so this shot shows a bit of that of the older models. The dials had changed slightly over the course of the 1861's lifespan..mine is from the early 2000s I think.

>>17882596
>wife
ex-wife

just wait until you find out she's re-married and has kids while you've been watching anime and shitposting.

>>17882524
Yeah, which is to say not at all. Bruh, you're just another asshole that touches yourself to strippers gyrating in cosplay and taking your posing requests for pictures. This shit is barely a step above having an anime body pillow in cringe level. Either move on and get a real girlfriend or fuck off.

Is it worth getting? I love dark green and have thin wrists.

>>17882599
>You're not old Anon. At 30
I suppose as someone in his late 40s, 30 seems young to you.

>>17882592
>No money rerstrictions
You wash cars for a living
>no time restrictions
you're already past your prime
>and no health restrictions.
except for the syphilis one of the hookers gave you

>>17882607
If you ask me, yes. It has a cool movement (a quartz that ticks 4 times per second) and is an homage of the famous 44GS. And it's cheap.

>>17882602
>Yeah, which is to say not at all.
Yes I used the wrong definition, I meant nightlife, just nightlife no underground.
>>17882603
>ex-wife
not officially yet.
>just wait until you find out she's re-married and has kids while you've been watching anime and shitposting.
Yeah I know that other men don't have standards and put up with women bullshit. I don't see any relationship or marriage around me that's fullfilling, not only am I not jealous of them, I feel sorry for them. A friend of mine has been married for 7 years now and his wife still keeps calling him every 30 minutes to see where he is. That's unacceptable for me and I wouldn't last a week with something like that, but because we men are enablers and simps, we do put up with female autism and it has become the norm.

>>17882616
>not officially yet.
Oh that's so adorable. You actually think you have a chance to get back with her...

>>17882599

Old is only when your body starts breaking down. At 30, if you're in relatively good health, you're still okay. Be thankful you can wake up in the morning and feel 'normal'.

>>17882623
For sure Anon, and you too.

>>17882630
Everyone has to work, Anon; most people I know spend their money doing things they'd like to do or buying things that make them happier. But people still have to work; that's the reality of living. If you're really lucky, your work is your hobby too and then you're really happy.

>final new pic for today: I did a macro of the Grail so you could see the subdial circles on the texture of the dial. Also, if you look closely, you can see the Omega logo on the underside of the hesalite crystal. Love that watch...

Take care, frens. Please stay safe, and don't get sick during this season.

Thanks anon. I was also considering this Pagani VH31, but I like the look of the escapement time better and it would probably fit my wrists better. If there's nothing wrong with it then I may get the escapement time.

They do also have mechanical watches, but it is pretty ironic.

>>17882643
First time that I noticed the Ω. I wish my HOMOS had something like that.

>>17882646
No. I don't see the reason why I would, but an interesting suggestion.

>>17882658
Yeah; they do this with all hesalite crystals, but the logo shape changes depending on the generation of crystal. The problem with the Grail is that they only have 2 crystals that fit, and 1 of them is original and the other is the factory replacement. Sadly, the factory replacement has gaps between the minute markers printed on the dial and the subsecond markers that are printed on the underside of the crystal. That gap tells you that the crystal has been replaced. I'm very lucky to have one that is fully original.

I baked a new bread:

maybe I am wrong, idk, entirely dependent on culture and society

all I see is the same simpery going on, women being retarded in real time and so on

nice! I want one too but can't decide between blue and orange
