/fa/ - Fashion

Whoretadello made this thread early because anon talking about the logistics of prostitution was making him uncomfortable.

>>17903445
You misspelled "off-topic"

what are some fitness watches that arent smartwatches. so it does things like measure heartrate, set timers etc etc but has ZERO connection outside the watch, no gps no internet connection and no damn apps. completely disconnected from anything further than my wrist

>>17903436
Is this a goof fit /fa/ is the watch too big? Can I pull this off?

>>17903502
Watch is fine.

>>17903436
Blessed thread.

>>17903509
Yeah got some serious gut action going. Fuck it, I'll just do low carb again. (I wont)

>>17903513
Based Homos Chad.

>>17903509
never happened to an f91w owner

>>17903502
The watch is the least of your worries.

>>17903513
Continuing from last thread. Did your girl tell you what her brothel charges her per day?

>>17903502
Nice juicy tits. Can I motorboat you?

>>17903502
Yeah it's a goof fit alright

>>17903528
She's a stripper. She doesn't pay to work. But they [strippers] also get peanuts. There's only a 20€ difference for example if they dance with our without bra. They also only keep around 20% of the bottle you buy them. For example if you buy get them a champagne that's 300€, they keep maybe 50€ of that. And the fake dollars, they keep half.
But usually, the hookers I know, do pay around 70€-130€ per night. Ladies.de is also very expensive to run.
>>17903518
Can't wait for your new meticulously calculated autistic pics bro.
Anna-maria is staying over again, maybe I can get some normal shots this time like I said.

>>17903534
Thanks brah kek

>>17903537
>She's a stripper. She doesn't pay to work.

Yes, she does. What cut does her pimp take from her dates with you?

Reposting: anyone have any thoughts on these Citizen Tsuyosa watches?

>>17903537
Getting there bro, getting there.

>>17903537
>She's a stripper. She doesn't pay to work. But they [strippers] also get peanuts.

She's either lying to you or you misunderstand, friend. Every girl pays to work. She gives a percentage of her tips, everything, back to the club. The flat nightly fee merely encourages them to work. Otherwise they'd show up and hang out in the back room all night.

>>17903544
Why don't they make this with eco drive? Poor man's datejust

>>17903548
a flat fee and a percentage, isn't that a little extortiony?

>>17903548
Yes if she stays at one of the rooms that they provide her, she pays rent. But like I said, the vast majority of the money the girls make there, it goes straight back to the club itself. Around 70% to 80%

And one more thing, real talk, of course I always assume that these girls are lying. To anyone who's reading this, they are trained to tell you what you want and Need to hear. Don't let the sirens influence ans fool you.
I am about to ghost her after tonight. If they get too close, it's getting dangerous. She's at the stage where she says that I am her boyfriend and tells me she wants to quit for my sake etc.
Do NOT believe them.
Anyway, she just arrived. I am off for now.
Keep safe.

>>17903552
>a flat fee and a percentage, isn't that a little extortiony?

No, not really. Here's how it works: say a girl will say she wants to dance three nights per week. From there, we negotiate which nights (Tuesday is not as good as Friday), how many performances per night, main stage or side stage, etc. We know how much a girl can bring in on those days and what our business is like, so it will cost her (example numbers) 100 to dance on Tuesday, but 500 to dance on Friday.

Now, she has to work. If she's boring during her performances, she won't bring in any tips so she has to be lively. When she's not dancing, she should be flirting with the customers, having drinks with them, being available for lap dances, stuff like that. If she works harder, she makes more money, which means the club makes more money. the flat fee encourages her to actually work. The girls make a good living, we're not leaving them broke. Otherwise no one would dance for us.

The club has tons of bills to pay too. Rent, ultilities, employees (not the dancers, but security, janitorial, bartenders, DJ, etc) plus payments to the police and other interests to make sure we are able to conduct business without interference.

>>17903557

You trying to summon a demon to regulate that thing or what?

>>17903481
answer my 4 chan fa post

>>17903576
this is wt fuck off with your bullshit

>>17903576
I don’t think what you’re asking for exists. At most what you’ll get is step tracking on some of the Casio models, but you won’t get heart rate sensors.

There are fitness trackers that do not have bluetooth or wifi, but those look more like fitbit devices.

>>17903563
very interesting. and how is the cam girls business different?

Where is endlessly Hamilton shopping anon anon what did you buy.

>>17903567
Nothing wrong with having a stripper gf desu. They fuck really well and are cheaper to maintain than regular women desu.

>>17903436
This basically looks like a swatch lmfao

>>17903595
>very interesting. and how is the cam girls business different?

It's more hands-off. I provide a girl with the equipment and technical know-how to set up a cam show. I help her out getting her room looking good, furniture/decorations. Then I provide the hosting services so users can set up shows with them.

The users do everything through my site and I pay the girls a percentage of what the users get charged.

Like I said in the last thread, it's much, much easier. There's no haggling over money. The girls don't fight. (Girls fight each other all the time.) I don't have to manage hours. I have much less overhead. The girls like it better too because they have more control. She doesn't have to worry about some random guy sticking his finger up her ass. Generally, everyone's happier.

>>17903619
In whoretadello's own words, they are broken

>>17903630
This.
It's fine to hang out with them, but do NOT make them your gf. Then their problems will quickly become your problems.

In Whoretadello's case, he's just backtracking a little because he admitted he was falling for a stripper and he was rightly called out for it. Not even making fun of him, warning him.

>>17903544
I like these but I think the nb1050 is just a better watch.

>>17903622
Which swatch? I'd buy it.

I thought I finally found a tuna that will fit my wrist only to see it's 50mm. Just how big is his wrist?

>>17903639
You got any better suggestions then of any Citizen watches that are silver with blue dials?
Even if it's Eco-Drive, so be it.

Got some ebay sub 20usd auctions, my intention is to use these to get some practice on watch repair, cleaning

ordered all of the tools except for a timographer, waiting until I can get a used one to try and save money

cleaning progress is going to be hand spinning the parts in a mesh basket dropped in a jar of hexane then the same in ipa soak in 3 more jars

got some oils too, but not sure how to approach the high cost of mainspring winder - probably just going to ignore it at first and get the rest of the watch cleaned and leave the barrel as is, unless I can find new old stock mainspring but fat chance of that

>>17903683
It's also possible to just order new mainsprings as long as you know its length, width & thickness.

the citizen's movement was a nice suprise

>>17903685
no kidding? Excellent advice thank you very much!

>>17903681
NB1050-59L

i’m just going to come out and say it. seiko watches are not good.

i’m just going to come out and say it. rolex watches are not good.

I'm just gonna come out and say it. I don't really care about the engineering behind movements because tinkering with my motorcycle is way more fun. Therefore quartz is superior in every facet.

i’m just going to come out and say it. Bulova watches are not good.

i’m just going to come out and say it. Prostitutes don't make good wives.

i'm just going to come out and say it. i'm gay.

>>17903690
I might consider it. But I might also get one of those chronograph watches, idk

i’m just going to come out and say it. Grand seiko watches are not good.

I'm just going to come

>he’s STILL here talking to strangers

omg I am wheezing. an entire day in this shit hole. AN ENTIRE DAY aka no other friends or family to be with. and he’s bragging about (((spending))) 300 toddler dollars to get women to acknowledge him. fucking HOWLING here.

>>17903436
Lovely pic!

>>17903502
Looks sharp, though I'd ditch the black sportwear undershirt. Mixing materials in terms of function can sometimes look odd.

>>17903513
Nice; do you play?

>>17903544
Like all Citizen, it really comes down to if you like their design aesthetic or not. One of the reasons I bought the 0100 was because of how it looked: it's efficient and perfect in every design line. Unfortunately, there are Citizens that I find truly ugly as well, so regardless of what is inside, I'd never buy. So I'd hold the same standard to the one you posted and ask you what I'd ask myself: do you like the design? will the movement satisfy your daily needs? If so, then why not go for it?

>>17903557
Please have a safe night Anon.

In other random news:

1) I was at my local Rolex AD and they had tonnes of stock in the windows (i.e. running watches, not display models): Kermits, Seadwellers, no-date Subs, Explorers, GMTs...all the usual SS models that everyone wants. All except the SS Daytonas, of course. Perhaps they had them early in prep for Christmas. Anyway, it seems my prediction for the availability is coming true. Give it until February/March until the prices on the secondary market start coming down. So, there is hope for Rolex-chads who are waiting.

2) From the previous thread: The Citizen 0100 movement is now being fitted into other models, but the original came in three versions: gold with white/ivory dial and leather strap (100 pieces), and the other two models in full supertitanium: black dial (like mine) which I think was 800 pieces, and the mother-of-pearl dial (which I think was 200 pieces). None of them are available 'new' from Citizen, but there are a few black-dials and gold models floating around on chrono24. The mother of pearl ones sold out long ago, and are gorgeous; I think someone on WUS has one. Given that Citizen is putting the 0100 into other models now with different coloured dials, they are available.

>>17903610
Not him but Im debating between this or the new expedition that just came out. Especially the white dial

How much smaller should a watches lug to lug distance be compared to wrist width so it doesn't look bad?

>>17903502
put your collar down you clown

Bros I'm thinking of buying a grand seiko quartz gmt... Grim...
Rolex Explorer ii modern is too big, 5 digit is not well built

How did this cold, gray day treat you?
I'm freezing my balls, actually.

What's up pussies? I got banned from /sp/ again so I'm here to talk about watches with you virgins for the next 3 days. Tell me, is an Oyster Perpetual a good watch, or is it just a beginners Rolex for poorfags?

>>17903803
yes

>>17903803
>tfw got banned from /tv/ for 3 days for shot calling too hard
we’re not so different, you and i. also, there is no point in getting the OP over the Explorer. but for Explorer prices, there’s better options out there. also the most recent Rolex movements are getting bad reviews.

>>17903803
both

>>17903807
I like the simplicity of the design but it feels like the Porsche Boxster of the Rolex lineup. Something you buy just so you can say you own the brand name, and it's the cheapest one they make

>>17903808
Based. I like the Explorer watches. The white Explorer II is nice. What are the negative reviews saying about the movements?

the corollary is the only reason people like the explorer 1 is because they want a cheap rollie, but they don't want to settle for the cheapest one, so they convince themselves the explorer is better for vague reasons

>>17903813
seems that some of them just die suddenly. idk if its an inherent issue with the design or maybe QC issues from the factory, but you can go check the WUS Rolex forums for more info.

>>17903814
Well it has actual history to the watch unlike the datejust or OP so it gets Rolex fanboy's rocks off harder

>>17903811
The Boxter is genuinely a better buy I think

>>17903814
The bracelet on the explorer is literally superior

bros.. i hate her

>>17903842
Yeah her videos are pretty bad.

>>17903842
Retarded speech impediment goblin

>>17903865
She is more tolerable than the mad watch collector though, but that's an EXTREMELY low bar

>>17903802
Great to see you, Lawyeranon Stargazing, I presume?

>we have two of the trinity of Speedies...but I don't think either of us would bother get the third.

>>17903803
OP is a good design, and a beginner's Rolex. Movement is still to-be-determined.

>>17903842
She doesn't say much...but I think most of the YTubers are running out of material now that everyone is back to work. She could be worse though...there's lots that are worse.

>>17903814
>>17903827
>>17903803
Hello. I went with the explorer over the OP because I feel you can dress the watch up or down easily. The just looks formal to me. I wore it to go 'explore' wolf's gap last weekend

Do you guys like Oisín O'Malley? He's one of the few watch YouTubers I like.

>>17903876
the oyster perpetual just looks formal to me*

>>17903876
I like the watch a lot, I just don't like the 3, 6, 9 on the dial. I would prefer just simple hour markers instead of numerals. That's what I like about the OP, also there's more dial color options available. But I like the history of the Explorer, and it's certainly an iconic and recognizable design from Rolex.

so uh
any black friday deals? i checked long island but it seems to be mostly the island watches on sale

>>17903877
All of watch YouTube is fucking gay with a few exceptions- typically watch repairers.

>>17903884
And i don't like the forty lines of text on a watch.

>>17901280
I'm back

The 39 mm Laco Augsburg seems really tempting, thoughts? Perhaps someone knows of a similar but better one in that price range?

The Tissot PR100 recommended to me looks very nice as well.

>>17903803
I think if you want just one watch then the OP is a great choice.

>>17903890
Oisin seems like one of the rare guys who makes videos as genuine passion projects instead of trying to make money gaming youtube. He doesn't shill for dealers or his own merch, and he reviews watches from his personal collection instead of getting them loaned to him from dealers. So he seems to give pretty good insight about the pros and cons of each piece. Also he's got big 8 inch wrists so if you have bigger wrists you can see how watches look on him and it's a better idea of how it might look on you. And he is into cigars and whiskey so I like him for that too.

What repair channels do you like to watch? I really enjoy Nekkid Watchmaker, he does some really impressive restorations. Wristwatch Revival is alright, he did a pretty cool vintage Rolex GMT restoration recently

>>17903904
I wish Credor or GS would make a watch using Kanji numerals for hour markers. Lean into their Japanese identity a bit

>>17903811
If you think that about the Boxster you must not know cars. The "embarrassing" Porsches to have are the SUVs.

>>17903908
I don't know as much about cars. But I consider Boxsters are like the cheaper alternative to a 911, I forgot about the SUVs, I don't even consider them as Porsches. I remember when they came out I was horrified by them. Lamborghini made some SUVs too. Disgusting.

>>17903898
Yeah I don’t actually have a problem with Oisin, I’ve watched his videos before. I remember one where he shat on Brit Pearce lmao. Nekkid is good but he is cringe sometimes which makes me not want to watch him all the time. Wrist watch revival is usually inoffensive so I like him. I like Richard Perrett quite a bit despite him shilling his own watch brand. Watch repair channel is pretty goated

>>17903922
I'll check out Richard Perrett, I haven't watched any of his stuff. Wristwatch Revival is goof but his videos seem kind of repetitive. He does the same kind of servicing steps and makes the same comments on each step. i like Nekkid because he's always doing something different. I agree he can be a bit cringe sometimes. Watch Repair Channel is pretty comfy.

>the benefit of mechanical is higher torque compared to quartz so it can use heavier longer hands
>check the size of hands of similar models
>they are the same size
is torque a meme

>>17903925
Wristwatch revival is quite a bit less experienced than nekkid but his videos are better background watches. French watch collector has some decent repairs as well.

>>17903866
MWC is based tho

>>17903874

>>17903955
nigga they said that the watch fit is the last thing you should be thinking about when you look how you look

>>17903940
They won't, unless they re-name their brand. And it's too late for that.

>>17903769
I don't spam them because I don't want to attention whore too much and I get that they aren't really the intended topic of this thread (not that I can really figure out what that is supposed to be anyway, other than LARPing as rich/poorfags). I've got a new one I'm working on that I really like. I've got a draft that's finalized and now have to redo it but as cleanly as possible. It's a secret santa gift, so I'll have to wait until Christmas to post it. I still need to revisit the Youmu draft I did a while back now that I've come up with better ways to deal with excessive thickness due to overlapping layers. I anticipate having more spare time in the winter to work on new ones, I have some drawings for Alice, Reimu, and Marisa that I want to try

>>17903898
I'd add FrenchWatchCollector to the list. His videos are also quite good.

>>17903960
I have under 6" wrists, why?

>>17903961
I don't know what you're talking about, but racism wont get you far in life.

>>17903683
Just buy new mainsprings for the watches you work on first. Don't fuck up putting them in and you should be fine without a winder. If you want to regulate without a timegrapher, you can get close just using a phone app and your phone's microphone.
Just take your time and especially on your first one take pictures from different angles as you disassemble. What are you going to do for cleaning?
>>17903688
This is nice. Do this one last so you have more experience and are less likely to slip and fuck something up.

>>17903683
>cleaning progress is going to be hand spinning the parts in a mesh basket dropped in a jar of hexane then the same in ipa soak in 3 more jars
Ah I skipped over this line. Should work alright, but may take some time to run through. Low risk of damaging anything this way, at least.

ive been looking for a hybrid watch and the garmin vivosport looks like a good option for me.
But i feel weird not seeing the seconds hand moving becuase i cant tell if the hands are moving unless i stare at the watch for at least a minute

>>17903667
baby tunas are 43mm

>>17903436
OUCH

>>17903762
As long as it is smaller it's ok. The diameter of the watch should be around 60% of the wrist width.

>>17903802
Looks very based with the leather jacket.

>>17903907
That would be cool.

>>17903667
there are 38mm tunas out there

>>17904035
The rule is 70%

>>17904043
The rule is golden ratio, which is 1 divided by 1.61803398875, which is a bit over 61%.

Would this work? Unfortunately i don't have a head-on pic of the model with the framed day window to shoop on, it definitely would look better with a frame.

>>17904054
>Would this work?
fuck no

>>17904055
Why not, it's not that much different than this, and this works very well.

>>17904030
>>17904042
they don't look as good though to me because they look more casual where the real tunas are tool watches and they have the dogshit 4R36 movement.

>>17904058
That hour hand looks comically small.

>>17904057
The whole point of a dial like the white birch or snowflake, etc. is to be as sparse as possible.
That's why people have been complaining about the power reserve on the snowflake since the very beginning.

>>17904062
I see what you mean, yes. I used the white birch because i already had a pic of it without the crown ready.

>>17904026

>Am I being autistic with this idea of a 6 watch collection?

Yes, "Ticking all the boxes" collections always end up being stupid.

The chronograph, for example: you need a chronograph? You find yourself needing to time stuff constantly?
Travel watch/GMT watch. How often do you travel to other time zones? Often enough to where you lose track of what time zone you're in?

Buy the watches you like. If you like dress watches, buy those. Don't feel compelled to buy one of each category that the watch companies made up in order to sell more watches.

Very rarely, but I do track the time for scheduling meetings, etc in other time zones daily.

I find it hilarious people need a watch to tell what the time in other timezones are, there aren't many of them, and they are extremely easy to learn.

Fine thanks, though busy as shit; trying to stay ahead of the curve and not fall out of orbit.

That being said, if we found a quiet jazz club that was well stocked with comfy chairs, I'd be in.

You're kind Anon. What are you wearing today, Fren?

>>17904253
Nah; I think it hit the target perfectly. No one claims the movement is amazing, or the design 'original', or things like that. It's simply a great reproduction at an affordable price in enough variety to capture an audience. Like the MoonSwatch, for example.

>>17904255
Looks nice Anon; I really like the 'bubble-bezel' look.

>>17904333
No, not autistic. I actually think your choices are great for the first 6-watch collection. Just be aware that you may still hear the siren song of watches and want to create a new collection, maybe higher in price (except for the beater, of course). So I'd say decide on each to the model#, try as many on as you can before purchase, and wait a year or two for the choices to ferment. After a year you'll know what you really want and what you don't, and then you won't waste money on watches that you'll grow tired of. Finally, they're mostly mechanical, you'll have to service them too over time, so take that into account as the 'price of entry'.

I should say, I have all of those watches right now except a seiko 5 gmt (used to have one, sold it) and a 16570. I have a fake of the 226570 polar that I wear often and I love that watch, although it wears large, so I'm sure the smaller 5 digit reference will be better

>>17904409
Good Day, Rolex-chad! I was in my Rolex AD the other day, and they had tonnes of stock...I was gobsmacked, to be honest. I hadn't seen it like that since pre-covid. They even had those OPs with the dials that have the rectangular weave pattern on them...don't know what they're called, but for at time, they were 'in demand'. They had three green-bezel subs ready to buy, and shit like that. Very odd, but should satisfy those who want them. How is your Rolly running? Hope you avoid the crowds safely Anon!

>>17904411
In that case, it sounds like you are on the way. Then why are you concerned that your collection may have an 'autistic' origin? Why not just buy and wear what you love, and to hell with the rest? Sometimes, labeling a watch makes it seem like there is a justification to have the watch in the first place...but I think the honest reality is that we just like to buy things. You don't 'need' a chrono, or a beater, or anything else; you just need more than one watch. Embrace that, but make sure you choose carefully and avoid the trap of buying something now instead of saving and getting something closer to your ideal later. That's all.

Pretty good Omega-san, its a huge upgrade from my SKX. I didn't know that a mechanical watch can be this accurate. I hand lunch with some friends at a Japan steakhouse which was opened for Thanksgiving and dinner with family so I pretty much avoided the crowd. Right now doing a bit of shopping for Christmas and a camera for myself.

How was your Thanksgiving?

>Rolex getting tons of stock
This is good news, but I've decided to pace myself to one watch a year when I truly started on this hobby. Next year I think I'm gonna go Omega though. Mainly this one since I gonna do a green collection of 3 watches.

DJ41 in green
Speedy 57 in green 2024
Reverse Tribute in green 2025

I'll probably get the Speedy used though.

Mechanical watches can be supremely accurate, as long as the movement itself is well designed. A great movement always has the potential to compete with a quartz, but the issue is the timeframe and the watchmaker who manages it. My old 321 is the most accurate mechanical wristwatch I own; more accurate than any of the COSC ones, but it's only because my watchmaker pulls it into spec for my wearing habits. Far too often, customers are reliant on a watch that has been regulated and adjusted by the factory; understandably so, because opening the watch may void a warranty. This however 'locks' the customer in to whatever range the watch is set with...and that's horrible. Anyway, glad your Rolex is 'superlative'; it should be.

Re: the Speedy used: DEFINITELY do this. There is no current model except the Ed White or Snoopy that you should buy from an AD. The 57 in Green looks great in person and wears well, so just prepare and buy the seller.

We had our thanksgiving last month, and it was 'usual', so that's always good. Hope yours was great; never forget to take a moment to look around the table and be thankful for all who are present. One day a chair may be empty.

>>17904453
I say it because it needs to be said; so many people don't follow that advice and instead are swayed by advertisement, social pressure, etc. If people en masse just bought what they adored, then admittedly there might be far fewer watches on the grey market being offered for sale, fewer Anons here who bought something and have regrets, etc.

Do you own what you love, Anon? If so, share it with us! What are you wearing today, Fren?

>the only time I ever bought a watch due to 'reputation', grew to love it after it was serviced and brought back to life. Won't risk that again though...

My father decided to give me his old Omega DeVille from the 1970s (pic rel). He told me that he stopped wearing it in the early 2000s. Lord knows if it's ever been serviced. The watch is absolutely tiny, around 34mm so I doubt I'll ever wear it since 38-40 is what works best for my wrist. Should I still bother getting it serviced since it does belong to my father afterall?

Got the alpinist back sans cyclops. The seiko ad was hesitant at first then probably googled it and offered to remove it before sending it in. Based guy. 10x better

>>17904466 (me)
If I do get it serviced I'll probably go to a local watchmaker rather than Omega because I'd rather not spend a lot on a watch I'll probably wear, at most, once a blue moon.

Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in /wt/ in close to a year. I'm glad to see nothing's changed and you're all still here. (I used to post my Tank LC and white Explorer II on occasion.)

Anyway, during the Rolex bubble, I started selling my collection and never stopped. I've sold off/given away my watch collection. I am watch free, apart from a fitness tracker/running watch, which really isn't a watch.

I told myself that when I was done, I'd take about 30-40k and buy one last piece, a dress watch for when I want to look fancy, but now I'm having doubt if I even want it at all.*
The coof kind of cleared things up. I spent so much time obsessing over and wasting money on trivial little trinkets. Not being able to go on our family vacation made me realize that experiences are more important than toys. (My wife is certainly happy, she got a new car out of it. ;P )

*Maybe a gold Reverso Duoface.

Anyway, to the Americans who just celebrated Thanksgiving and are looking forward to your holiday season, don't get too wrapped up in your toys, because someday you'll turn around and realize your toys will never love you back and the opportunities you were given in life to make a family will be dust.

>Verification not required.

>>17904466
It depends on the price of your local watchmaker; I would NOT take it to an Omega AD. Prices for servicing should be between 200-400 USD since it's a simple movement (i.e. non chronograph or date complication). After you sort out the price, the next thing you should consider is how often you will wear it, and if having it tell the correct time will matter to you when you have it on.

If you only want to wear it for 'occasions', then what I'd suggest now is winding it up and wearing it for a day to see how it holds time. If it holds within 15 seconds or so, then don't bother to service it. If it is outside of that range, service it.

The problem with having a watch that is 'ready to go' but isn't being worn is that the lubricants evaporate over time, so it'll eventually need care even if you don't wear it. So you have to ask yourself whether it's worth servicing it now or not bothering. If you wear it twice a year and don't care what kind of time it keeps, then don't service it.

Does that make sense? Sorry it's so round-about. Maybe I should put it this way:

Service it if:
1) You plan to wear it regularly (i.e. more than twice a week).
2) If it runs way out of spec (i.e. more than +/- 15 seconds per day).

Don't service it if:
1) You plan to wear it once or twice a year.
2) You don't care about how well it holds time when you wear it.

Does that make sense?

>>17904467
Hmm, that's interesting. Turns out that it wasn't the cyclops that was making the watch look like shit after all. It's just a shitty watch. Who would have guessed?

>>17904466
Your tastes expand/changes as you get older, you might not like it right now but in 20 years time you might change your mind. I wouldn't worry about getting it serviced but at least take the battery out to prevent damage to the watch.

>>17904453
He is right. Think about it. No matter what people buy, most of /wt/ will bitch about it and will try and make you feel as bad as possible so that you regret your purchase. The same people that discuss for weeks and months if they should wait for black friday to get a 15$ discount on a 225$ watch, are the same people that tell you your Glashütte Original is cope. Just look at all the casio memes. Okay yeah, it's extremely funny but also sad because they know that we know that they are poor and project it to make it seem that they are okay with it.

>>17904492

Great advice, Anon; always hold family close, and time marches on faster than we think.

>>17904486
For sure; most of the co-axials straight from the factory I've encountered hold excellent time (i.e. +/- 1 or 2 seconds a day) with regular wear. If you have an older movement it can be a problem though. My 1861 that was serviced came back running around +7 per day, which is awful. I'm not going to take it to my watchmaker until the warranty period is over though. My 2254.50 is always ahead around +4, and my 2599.80 is much closer (around +2). Still, all of them were serviced by Omega, and I'm not opening any of them until the warranty period is over. I already had to send in the 2599.80 a month after service due to a bezel problem and a chronograph seizure, so I'm not rolling the dice just yet on the others. lol I won't let Omega touch my vintage ones though, and that's why those ones run well. The Zenith came back from factory essentially perfect, which is what I'd hope for and why it beat out the 0100 over the year. So, I guess I can give a +1 for Zenith servicing, if it's sent all the way to Swiss-land.

>>17904496
The gaskets may have turned to 'goo' if the watch was subjected to water over the lifespan. But that's not the primary problem. The movement should run, but run slow, and if there is automatic winding, then if the lubricants have dried up you might be getting a little metal-on-metal wear and tear which is not necessarily ideal. But wearing it for a day won't destroy it, so if you only wear it two times a year, who cares if the gaskets are gone (as long as you're not swimming with it).

It sounds like you want peace-of-mind; if you do, get it serviced from an independent post-haste, and then wear it and enjoy it. I had to make the same decisions with my predecessor's Omegas as well; I serviced both because I wanted them to run and also because of a fear (unjustified) that if I needed parts, I wouldn't be able to get them.

You’re literally lying to yourself, buying a luxury watch is rewarding yourself for an accomplishment. But then again you’re at least smarter than the retards that maxes out their credit card on a watch.

He doesn’t sell any luxury watches though. I’m not 100% sure who he is to be quite honest. I’m sure he’s not the same guy who is the spokesman for Federico or something.

Ffs now I need to invent an accomplishment to reward myself for to buy a watch. It's over

>>17904865
NTA but I don't buy into that philosophy at all. I buy a watch when I want it and when it makes sense financially.

>overall very happy with these watches. enough to perhaps forget about pursuing the real thing. i also enjoy not having to care too much about their safety. a real croco band may take them to the next level.

Honestly, a nice croc strap will make it indistinguishable from the real thing at arm's length. (Obviously that fails at closer inspection, but who's looking at your wrist that closely?)
A Miyota movement is also common enough and any watchmaker can fix it if necessary. Better than some unknown Chinese movement.

I buy a watch on credit, you’re a fool if you don’t. 10k=20-25k airline miles. That’s a free coach seat or a quarter of a business class seat. I put everything on my card including business expenses.

So what? He just makes money selling a million seikos instead of a few luxury pieces.

Gonna need a nice car and house to complete the illusion.

>>17904871
Yeah, but you also have the ability to pay your bill.

>>17904852 is referring to people who max out their cards to buy something, then spend the next few years making the minimum payment. With interest, a 10k purchase turns into a 20k outlay.

Just a good job, really. Look like you could afford it, if you wanted to.

One of the wealthier people I know (i.e. worth north of 10 mil) drives a Toyota Corolla. When asked why, when he could drive anything he wants, he answers simply, "I don't care about cars. This one's fine."

For me as a loser that never travels it's saving a couple hundred dollars and using retard logic to trick my brain into thinking I got a discount when I buy something with it

Or, if you're not interested in fooling people, just wear it for what it is: a watch.

It looks good. Simple as. If someone says, "nice watch." You can say, thanks. If someone asks "Is that a real Breguet?" You say of course not.

That zoomer makes me not want to have anything to do with the "watch enthusiast" community.
