Putting Omega in with fucking Chronoswiss and fucking Ralph Lauren is an insult. I didn't even know Ralph Lauren makes watches. It almost felt like someone did this because Omegadrunk managed to someone trigger you with his wealth.

Don't speak such esoteric truths here.

>>17895250

I'm terribly sorry to interrupt your schizo fantasies, but the creator and date of the chart is right there in the image.

>>17895254
This. The chart has been going for a couple years now. Omega has always been in the tier below the luxury watches and two tiers below the ultra luxury watches.

I like Omega (and even have a couple myself) but I'm not so far gone that I think they're on par with Rolex, Blancpain, JLC, etc. I mean, come on.

Luxury? Isn't this just another fashion brand? Same with Ralp Lauren and Corum?

Also what the fuck is the guy smoking listing something like Vostok Amphibia above Seiko, Citizen and Casio?

>>17895265
it's from reddit, just ignore

>>17895265
>CZAPEK, RESSENCE
small, independent brands.

>Ralph Lauren and Corum
I can't speak for Dior, but Ralph Lauren does actually make some good watches. Corum has fallen off in terms of prestige but they used to have some very cool designs.

As for the lower tiers, I don't think anyone really cares about splitting the difference between a Seiko and a Vostok

>>17895237
Why isn't Islander on the list? With shit like Lejour and Steinhart on there I don't see why not.

It's really been a good long while since we've had some good seething over The Best Chart

Surprisingly good imho.
Pros:
Pretty slim for an automatic watch (mvmt Ronda R-150).
The lume is excellent (C1 X1 Superluminova) and the finish is well done.
Cons:
Power reserve is ok at ~36h.
I love the no date but the crown has a useless second position as they just cover up the dial.

>Redpill me on (luxury) pens, never really understood the appeal.

Handwriting is a skill that is pleasing to master. It shows good education and good breeding. A good pen is a smoother writer, is better balanced, leading to less hand fatigue when writing letters.

It's very much like mechanical watches or safety razors. Even though they're obviously antequated, part of the pleasure in using them is the maintenance and ritual; and the skills/knowledge/experience needed to get good with them.

Do you have to spend a thousand dollars on a pen like in >>17895263 ? Of course not. That's extreme. But you can get a really good pen, a nice bottle of ink, and a pad of good paper for under a hundred bucks and get 100% of the experience.

>>17895302
Safety razors are a bit different though. Millions of men from all parts of society use them simply because of the functionality.

>>17895302
The way you say it pens make more sense than mechanical watches desu.

>>17895306
They do make more sense than watches. Watches are pure vanity, fountain pens are just useful, they were my first consooom hobby

>>17895285
Not sure as the warranty card only shows the movement and nothing more. It runs pretty well though and is still within specs even though it hasn't been serviced. I took it to Bucherer last summer but they told me to come back in about two years as right now there is still no need for one.

>>17895294
Exactly hence why I assumed it was a shitter

>>17895303
I disagree. A safety razor, just like a fountain pen, requires skill and practice to get superior results. A person's first attempts at writing with a fountain pen will look like shit too.

Go to any of the threads in /wt/ where guys make using a safety razor their entire personalities and you read dozens of sob stories about new shavers ripping their faces off because its their first time using a real blade. Guys who've been using them for years just tell them to be patient, go easy, and learn. (i.e. Just because you've been shaving since you were 14 doesn't mean you are an expert will all pieces of shaving equipment.

(Pic: a 1956 Gillette Super Speed. I've been shaving with this thing for about 22 years now, with brief breaks when I've worn a beard. It was my grandfather's at one point.)

>>17895312
Next time you get it serviced, be sure to ask, unless you're brave enough to open the back and see for yourself.

>you can get a really good pen, a nice bottle of ink, and a pad of good paper for under a hundred bucks and get 100% of the experience.
Alright, let's say I do that. Will this guy >>17895263 call me a coping poorfag?

>>17895316

>>17895320
>Alright, let's say I do that. Will this guy >>17895263 (You) call me a coping poorfag?

I'm >>17895263 and no, I will not. For a couple reasons.
1. Fountain pens are so fucking dorky that everyone with one is a nerd. Why make an already small community smaller?
2. Pen nibs aren't all the same and excellent pens may not suit your writing style. For example, everyone knows Montblanc pens (basically, the Rolex of pens) but I absolutely hate the way they write so I'll never get one. I prefer the way Italian pens feel.
3. Handwriting counts and is always more impressive than the pen itself.

If you're going to start, the best place is with Japanese pens. (You will not get called a weeb. Japanese pens are excellent.) They are much cheaper than their European counterparts but they still have solid gold nibs. These aren't quite entry-level, but entry-level steel-nib pens feel like writing with nails in most cases. Think of them like buying a Grand Seiko and then moving onto Rolex/Patek/Journe later if you want to.

The following pens can all be found for under 100 USD on eBay
- Sailor 1911 21k
- Platinum #3776 Century
- Pilot Custom 74

>>17895363
what do you think of 1970s Parker sterling fountain pens. They're a 14k nib

>>17895374
Vintage pens are typically like vintage watches. If you don't know how to tell the difference between vintage and junk, you'll just end up getting fleeced.

Old pens tend to write a little better because they were made in an era when everyone knew how to write with one. Nowadays, people only know ballpoints, so they tend to press way too hard. Therefore, the fountain pen makers have to make their nibs stiffer to keep them from being destroyed, making them write worse.

If you know how to repair pens, of course, you can actually make a little money. Finance your really nice pen by buying old pens, fixing their leaks, straightening the nibs, cleaning them, and selling them for 3x what you paid.

>>17895374
Do they make them in white gold or 24k? I don’t use/wear anything below 18k.

>>17895380
idk, I've only seen 14k. I just wanted to match my ballpoint pen >>17895243

>>17895363
Honestly a pilot/sailor/platinum writes better or equal to a pelikan/Montblanc in my experience. Never tried visconti or Leonardo, only vintage aurora

>>17895289
What does it mean?

>>17895383
Agreed. Montblancs have written like shit since the late 1980s. Pelikans are nicer, but way too wet.

If you know vintage Aurora, then you'll recognize Visconti or OMAS or Montegrappa. It's got the same bounce but is just slightly less toothy than Aurora. All feel very recognizably Italian, though.

My favorite pen is a Pilot 823 with a Waverly nib. If the rest of my collection had to go, that's the one pen I'd keep.

>>17895386
As long as the company is Swiss-owned and final assembly is in Switzerland, you can build a Swiss watch entirely out of Chinese components.

Not really anon, it’s pretty easy, I think it’s more so about your face getting used to a single blade and figuring out the directions of hair growth on your face. After using one for many years I now use it in the shower as easily as I used to use a multi blade. After all it was designed to be easy. Pic rel, 1930s Gillette which works well and a Parker razor from Amazon, also works well. I will say as a testament to older engineering, the threading on the 1930s Gillette is amazing, it screws and unscrews seamlessly and hasn’t worn down at all

>>17895276

>>17895394
Ronda has no production in China though, as far as I know, it's either Switzerland or Thailand. Maen itself is a Dutch company, QC and assembly is in La Chaux-de-Fonds. A Kickstarter brand rarely outgrows that reputation and seldom delivers solid timepieces. As far as I can tell Maen is an exception, you get a lot of watch for your money.

What's the appeal of wearing a literal dinner plate on your wrist?

Your chart is crap, tho.

>>17895429
>3in wrist

>>17895394
That's not true. A lot of parts can be foreign, but the watch has to be designed at least in part by swiss engineers and a certain percentage of its components have to be manufactured in Switzerland, I think something like 60%? Which is less than you'd think but you certainly can't have everything made in a Chinese sweat shop and imported to Switzerland.

>>17895424
why?

Tell me, what are the chances that watches like this are made to launder money?

I've been intrigued by their annual calendar watch. It uses a Miyota movement I don't think I've seen anyone else use before, which is a weirdly common thing for Miyota(making obscure movements that seemingly only one tiny brand buys.)

What's up with all these Amazon seiko sellers with poor ratings?

>>17895465
Well last time I ordered a seiko from Amazon they sent me one with a broken date wheel that was obviously used, so that's probably why. I refuse to buy any automatics from there after that

>>17895469
You just reminded me of when I bought a SARB035 off Amazon (years ago, before it was discontinued) - and it was off 45 minutes per day (not seconds). Sent it back. Yeah, fuck amazon..

>>17895412
>I think it’s more so about your face getting used to a single blade and figuring out the directions of hair growth on your face.

So it requires skill and practice to get superior results. You understand. Good.

How over is it for me

>>17895483
Face getting used to it isn’t skill or practice, and figuring out the direction of your hair growth is necessary for all shaving to avoid getting in grown hairs. There’s nothing skilled about using a safety blade

>>17895496
girls exist, and some of them have <6 inch wrists, so it's not completely over

No one will care about your watch.
Since you're western, you're expected to wear as much anime merch as possible. You also want to pepper your speech with the ten Japanese phrases you know. Say "Sugoi" all the time.

They will respect you for demonstrating proper commitment to learning their culture and treat you as an equal.

What's with the hate for Jaeger Lecoutre and speedmasters?

>>17895610
>What's with the hate for Jaeger Lecoutre and speedmasters?

the hate is for JLC's management and the Speedmaster's fans.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is frustrating because they have never been able to translate their ability to engineer great movements into similarly great watches. Due to their inexplicable inability to settle on a design language, their only real memorable model is the Reverso.

The Speedmaster is a victim of overhype. It's a fine watch but it's also nothing particularly special, while it's fans screech about how it's the greatest thing since wholesale carpet (moon) and spew marketing drivel (MOON!) at you until you walk away in disgust. Speedmaster fans are people no one wants to be friends with.

Okay so why the fuck didn't Seiko just marry the power generation rotor to a generator to charge a battery for of a normal quartz movement? Why the hell use a spring instead of a battery resulting in a more unreliable, shorter life, and a running time that is an order of magnitude smaller?

Spring drive is their idea to keep it more mechanical and more soulful than a quartz movement. A full quartz or a kinetic like you're describing leans more into the electronics and less into the mechanical watchmaking skill.

They do have a distinct design language and also some wild models. It's an acquired taste though.

>>17895264
Yeah, Breitling is really terminal. I like the old Navitimers but what they're doing today is just ugly. Their new movements didn't set the world on fire either. The Superocean Heritage II was on my list for a while until it occurred to me that it's just a fucking bland dive watch without character or identity. Add to that I'm buying IWC and Vacheron, what the fuck do I want a Breitling in my collection.

>>17895690
>I just want a watch that looks nice on a leather strap.

Good morning lads. Hope you had a wonderful saturday

>>17895841
I am just curious to see how much different these high end watches feel from my own. Day to day and initial impressions. Maybe one day.

>>17895847

I am not familiar with the designs of those higher end watches, so I didn't notice. But now that you mention it, I think it looks nice, definitely a consideration.

>>17895854
I like many hands on the dial, even thought of adding central seconds as well. Which watch has the most hands on the central stack anyway?

>>17895850

when you (or should we say the elite, we will all be dead) are a literal god in comparision to now, what will cogs matter?

These are not easy to design your life around, while a mechanical wristwatch is.

The better analogy is classic cars. Do you know how desirable a 250 GTO is today despite every VW beetle being more advanced and faster than it?

Hey m8, it was fun, it was fun. I guess it's going well. Let's see. Tell me about your Saturday night if you want. Did you sip?

Of course. Homebrew this time, did some quality assurance testing with a friend. Just 4 glasses though.

It's like strong, cheap white wine, the odd aftertaste gives it away as something else, but you start to ignore that after the first glass. It has gotten better with age.

What the other guy said.
HOWEVER luxury pens are a chumps game UNLESS they're sold by some very small, relatively new brands that cater specifically to enthusiasts.
In general quality control of so many so called "luxury" makers is shit. This fucking brand >>17895263 in particular is absolutely egregious for seemingly making all their pens on a friday afternoon. It used to be that I could generalize and state that anyone getting into this shit should avoid Italian makes but the German brands that I thought I could count on are also shite and quality has gone down the shitter.
With Visconti it's nib and structural issues, with ze germans it's the fucking nibs. Japanese pens will actually write and write well but many of them feel like the equivalent of some midranged shitter watch with a cookie cutter ETA movement in them.
Jap stuff is thus very reliable but boring, until you get into the artisanal grade lacquered stuff.

Idiots will spend thousands on pens that end up not working as well as some mass produced student's pen by Pilot or Platinum, and the companies have gotten away with it for the past 20 years because they were selling pens to people for use as basically corporate gifts; they don't actually have to write well or at all since the boomer that retires and gets the giftbox will never actually use the pen. Means that historically decent brands have gotten LAZY with their nib grinding such that you either have to make endless returns to get a good nib or send your pen to a third party specialist who will fix what's usual a tiny problem that could've been avoided if the factory took 2seconds extra shoring up their shit act.
BUT, if you get a pen that works in harmony with your personal nib/ink/paper trifecta, then you will truly enjoy writing.

t.fag who's spent too much on fucking pens over the past 15yrs.

I wish I liked VC more. But every time I see an Overseas I think I prefer a Royal Oak Jumbo. That is to say, the PP achieved it with the Nautilus, but the VC proposal lacks strength. The 222 looks more interesting, but the bezel is horrible. Maybe a 222 with an Overseas bezel would be an amazing watch.

You can’t travel with a suitcase full of 7 million dollars without raising alarms but you can wear your patek that looks like an invicta that no one will care about through airport security. That’s pretty much the real value of a watch over 10k

>>17895881
It's nice but I prefer a guilloche dial when I have a choice, so out of that generation the blue is my least favorite despite being the most expensive.

>>17895777

I like the soviet super thin mechanicals too. much preferable over the modern-day automatic clunkers, especially for a dress watch

>>17895230

With Omega the rule is simple: 1985.

If it was made before, it might be cool. If it was made after 1985, the year that Omega died and was brought back as a zombie brand by the Hayeks/Swatch, it is not cool.

No. The layman just sees rolex as "that overpriced watch brand for boomers". That said I would like an oysterquartz at some point, not because it's cool but because I like the movement and case shape.

Not at all, as an og manufacturer they also have the "right" to make them and they do them well. However, they don't have much to offer besides variations of the pilot, portugeezer/portofino and ingenieur.
JLC have quite a few unique models that are overlooked by most. Master compressor, polaris, amvox and more. You may not like them, but at least they're doing their own thing.

The Japanese, due to their rapidly aging/collapsing population, have imported a large number of Filipinos to be menial labor. Naturally, the Filipinos are also responsible for the bulk of crime in the country.
With Germany, it's much the same.

Ask a German why he hates Greeks, then ask a Japanese why he hates Filipinos and you will only get a single answer, repeated.

Yes they do. Their only only saving grace is that there's fewer Greeks, but compared to Turks, their food is shittier, they smell worse, and they steal more.
There are at least SOME Turks that are trying to assimilate.

Greeks WERE European.

After 1453 (and starting much earlier, of course) they became hopelessly contaminated and can no longer be counted as a European, or even a distinguishable, ethnicity.

Rolex literally doesn't have more than 4 famous models (Sub/GMT, Datejust, Daytona, uhh... Explorer? already pushing it).

And the Aquatimer is rather famous too, given it dates back to their roots (50s). I think you're being very hypocritical here.

>LC have quite a few unique models that are overlooked by most.
They are overlooked because they are derivative and not unique to JLC. The only unique piece that JLC makes is the Reverso, everything else is a "patent-free" watch design.
>Master compressor,
This is a type of watch and not a watch. JLC just took the concept, which by the way IWC made in the 50s, as they needed a diver.
>polaris, amvox
Even watch people don't know what they are unless they already own a JLC, bro. Stop being facetious. JLC is a movement maker not a watchmaker and this is an open secret most people don't want to admit.

Here is your "master compressor" by JLC oh wait...
