I hate how there are so few interesting watch designs. And when there is one it's an expensive special edition THAT IS ALSO TOO BIG FOR MY WRIST.

All the micropenis brands just create slop that looks like an existing design but with slightly different details.

>>17924059
Then how do we know who all these people are?

>>17924080
Are you in central Florida, by any chance?

Why is Seiko holding out on us?

>>17924098
Because Seiko figured out their customers are weebs who feel compelled to collect anything like they're funcopops. If you give them the whole collection at once, they'll buy one or two. If you string them along, they'll buy more out of FOMO.

Ive seen people asking for an alternative of a Cartier tank but cheaper and people always suggest similar shaped Seikos, etc.

Why does nobody recommend these? They can be easily found for under 1000 (i got mine for 500ish), its an actual Cartier tank, 925 silver, etc.

Am I missing something? I feel that if you like Cartier and don’t want to spend thousands of dollars, these are must (pun very intended)

>>17924131
Because it's a fucking female watch dumbass.

>>17924050
>33-36mm patrician
This seems like its on the small side.

I want an entirely French watch because I am French and extremely xenophobic.

>>17924131
>The Must de Cartier line came about in the 1970s after Cartier changed ownership and decided to create a more accessibly priced line to broaden their market share.

>The Must de Cartier Tank Louis is virtually the same as the standard Tank, at least in every way that is visible to the eye.

>To save money, Cartier used gold vermeil cases (gold plated sterling silver) instead of solid gold, and 9 times out of 10, a quartz movement.

intersting, had not idea about these

>>17924134
There are 2 sizes moron, this is the larger one and its unisex. Dont make me pull the ali picture meme

>>17924131
Must de Cartier watches are dogshit. It's not an actual Cartier. They're cheaply made price-point watches released in a desperate attempt to get some cash infusion to a struggling business.
It's Cartier in the same way Armani Exchange is Armani.

Think about it this way: if people wanted them, there wouldn't be thousands of them for sale at rock-bottom prices.

>>17924149
>unisex
AKA female holy shit this cope.

>>17924150
>It's Cartier in the same way Armani Exchange is Armani.

That's a good way to put it. That is, of course, why they put "Must de Cartier" on the dial, so people who spent money on a proper Cartier wouldn't get upset.

In truth, it actually hurt Cartier's business as much as it helped, because it killed off a lot of the exclusivity that Cartier used to have.

Why do you guys hate the Dumont?

>>17924157
The Santos-Dumont is fine. It's the regular Santos that catches a lot of flak here.

>>17924159
Really? I honestly though the Dumont would since its OMGQUARTZ?!

>>17924161
hating on quartz is babby's first watch opinion

Is 250 euro for a Citizen Tsuyosa worth it? It really is a nice looking watch.

>>17924168
I dont get why someone would spend like 5k on a quartz?

>>17924172
I think its closer to 4.2k.

>>17924174
Use prices are closer to 5k.

Any independent watchmakers that make something similar to this vintage Seamaster reference? No date is ok too.

>>17924172
>I dont get why someone would spend like 5k on a quartz?

it's a couple bucks for the movement, even though Cartier's quartz movements are quite good.
The rest of it is design, craftsmanship and brand prestige.
All the watches similar to that you can get for cheaper also look shittier and are made more poorly.

>>17924150
I mean I get what youre saying, but at the end of the day Cartier still considers these as they still service them. Plus the fact that theres so many around means that replacement parts are easily available and they are still lasting well.

I get the sizing is not for everyone but I feel like these are still a good deal all things considered.

>>17924180
yeah for 10x the price lmfao

Who's buying the AI-design-assisted solid gold gshock which they're only making one copy of to auction off?

>>17924161
>Really? I honestly though the Dumont would since its OMGQUARTZ?!

Not especially. Quartz allows the watch to be very thin without using an expensive, fragile, ultrathin movement. The watch doesn't have a seconds hand anyway, so you don't have the telltale ticking. The battery lasts like 8 years too.

>>17924174
The two-tone version in >>17924157 is more expensive. The steel version is 4.2k USD.

Wish it had a day window and it was solar quartz

>quartz is... le bad!

>>17924217
Who are you quoting?

Anyone own a baltic? How are they compared to their price point? Looks really beautiful imo

Is it possible for quartz watches to magnetize mechanicals if they sit next to each other for too long?

>>17924230
Dials are stunning and finishing is excellent. I paid full price but if you can pick one up used in good condition, i'd say that's better. People move them all the time on chrono or the baltic groups on fb.
You definitely pay for them if you go full price, just for a miyota 9039, but mine was +1 out the box and hasn't let me down since I've had it. Great customer support too.
Only negatives would be price and resell I guess, but they're gaining so much in popularity these days that the resell will probably go up, especially on the LEs. They are stocked in some stores around the place if you can find an AD near you to try them on. There's heaps of videos on youtube about the good and the bad of each model.

>>17924230

>>17924256
all that did was shoot cogs and springs out while it went boing

>>17924258
Companies built specifically on recreating vintage watches are obviously going to do it.

I can not remain silent any longer. It pains me dearly watching such mighty name as Bulova being managed by a bunch of drooling retards.
They have Lunar Pilot, which we will get back to later, okay-ish Devil Diver and then we have this embarrassment. Who is the target audience of this? Niggers, whos hiphop album hasn't become popular? This need to be removed from their lineup alltogether, it is disgraceful.
Moving forward we have the Lunar Pilot. It has potential to be the greatest watch ever made, but again it is being ruined by retards in Citizen. They made it comically huge and added stupid date window. Current gen is not much better, it is still too big, it needs to be much smaller both in diameter and girth. Then they put it on an god awful bracelet and an ugly leather strap. Both are wrong, the only acceptable option is the NASA style strap they had on previous gens.
Next we have the movement. I am ok with it being quartz, it is good movement, but of course it had to be desinged by imbeciles. Okay, one of the selling points of your movement is the smooth sweeping second hand, just like on a mechanical watch. And then they made it that you can't see the sweeping second hand movement unless using a chronograph. This decision alone is so fucking retarded on so many levels i feel like it was sabotage from the citizen executives.
They have on their hand a watch that can be fastest selling watch in history if it was just tiny bit better. Fuck.

>>17924278
Of course. The funny thing is, though, when those vintage watches were new, the lume was white. It only turned diarrhea brown after fifty years.

What time is it?

@17924289
(you)

>>17924291
Baltic makes this watch without vintage lume if you want that.

does a cope of this exist?
a watch that has an interesting shape for the bezel and isn't just a smooth ring like on the PRX?

>>17924294
Why would I? I can afford good watches. I don't need to buy microshitter cope.

Back in the day in the 40s and 50s and whatever, were bracelets ever seen as a high end, big money luxury kind of thing, or were they kind of just whatever like most people see them today?

>>17924298
So why are you complaining about things you'd never buy in the first place?

>>17924300
Unfortunately good brands do faux patina too.

Damn that is beautiful.

>Back in the day in the 40s and 50s and whatever, were bracelets ever seen as a high end, big money luxury kind of thing, or were they kind of just whatever like most people see them today?

Back then a watch on a bracelet was more commonly seen on a women's watch. Most men's watches from the time came on straps. As trends changed over the 60s and 70s, a bracelet became more fashionable, as things got less formal and more casual. Sports watches on bracelets replaced the dress watch on a strap.

>>17924302
I cant think of a good brand that does distressed lume.

>>17924317
I can think of a few...but then, if they were that good, they wouldn't do faux vintage lume in the first place.

>>17924317
Breguet, Patek, Blancpain, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron, etc. They all do it.

>Lorier releasing the Zephyr again
bye money

>>17924317
Depends if you consider ecru fauxtina. If you do then most brands are guilty of it.

>mfw my F-91W is more accurate than most of my other quartz watches

>>17924230
It's a great watch. Buy it on a BOR bracelet if possible.

>>17924382
It's still a horrible value. You can get something like this which is made in Japan for $130.

>>17924392
how is that anything like the Lorier? they have basically nothing in common
I think you're grossly overrestimating the funny writing on the dial. it really doesn't matter where these shitters are made

For me it's the Lotte Milsub.

>>17924080
Can you post more stuff you like? I like the Seiko you posted.

>>17924392
>You can get something like this which is made in Japan for $130

>>17924392
Yes and it's not similar at all and doesn't look as good by a lot. People decide what's worth money, nothing about watches really matter because they're obsolete. As long as it's built well

>>17924258
At this point it is clear that is not that they are trying to age the watches, it is more a style choice, pure white looks worse in many models while cream colours add flavour to the watch. Hating fauxtina is a bit silly seems like baby rage from purists.

>>17924548
Really love the idea and looks of the new Alpinist GMT, but I really feel like Seiko made it too thick by just a mm. If it was 12mm that'd be something I'd buy. Diameter is nice and in the goldilocks zone already. Yes I know the crystal is domed, but still.

>>17924572
That X clashes so incredibly hard with the rest of the watch's style.
It's almost incredible that they replaced the absolutely magnificent "Alpinst" text on older models with that monstrosity.

Someone at seiko must've been going through some kind of psychotic episode to greenlight that shit.

>>17924826
Patrician taste. What year is this from?

>>17924832
According to the caseback, 1946. No idea if it's all original though and I don't really care.

>>17924834
Simply based if I dare say so.

>>17924826
Damn, that's pretty nice.
If that's from 1946, is that a radium dial?

I'm wearing picrel today. Once you get used to a watch under 6mm thick you really get spoiled for comfort.

>>17924837
Thin watches are comfy. Mine is 11mm thick but it hides its height very well.

>>17924831
>>17924836
>>17924837
>>17924832
Thanks. Yes, original lume so a shitload of radium. Thin is nice when I dress like an adult, it's why I wore it today.

>>17924493
I'm a fat dude so can't totally emphathize with you there, but I will say that while I don't totally buy the "lug to lug is more important than width" meme, the tunas wear very differently than the widths might suggest due to short/integrated lugs. Worth trying on if you can find one local to you.

I did like the street series they ones they released. Thought the brown was sort of dope, but couldn't pull the trigger.

> dogshit movements and entry level finishing

I agree, but having owned an MM300 and the emperor tuna, I loved em both, but the more I look at seiko, it seems clear to me that they are at their best value as an entry-level brand.

Again, love the tuna and its original design, but its hard af to go for a seiko in the same price bracket as used cartier/rolex/omega

I don't know much about jewellery. Are fake diamonds on these cheap watches usually plastic?

>>17924866
They're usually zirconia afaik

>>17924869
No way, if that were the case I don't think they'd be shat on so much.

>>17924866
>I don't know much about jewellery. Are fake diamonds on these cheap watches usually plastic?
depends how cheap. Sometimes they're simply bits of glass, other times they'll be colorless bits of ZrO2 (cubic zirconia), corundum (sapphire).

Diamonds in a men's watch is always tricky. It's extremely difficult to pull off but it can be done in the right circumstance. Most people are better off just avoiding it altogether.

>>17924852
PicRel is the Sinn equivalent.

>>17924574

>>17924902

>>17924905
No one is going to bother faking an ALS, too few people even know of this watch and the people with enough skill to fake it might as well just go work for a reputable watch company.

>>17924906
Option 1, no question.

Santos's are one of the historically most faked watches out there. Lots of people's "vintage" versions are just old fakes.

>>17924911

Too much time spent reading Hodinkee or consuming other goyslop content if you think there's something wrong with quartz.

That's nice and all, but also incredibly boring.

>>17924913
>Yea that’s what I figured, thanks. Just need my tax refund at this point.
Just as an aside, the S-D is a great watch, but square watches don't fit the same way as round watches. Before you buy, go to your local Cartier AD, if you have one, and try out the different sizes. You usually end up having to get a size smaller than you think.

For example, the size L, which is 31mm across, wears closer to a 40mm watch. The diagonal from top-left to bottom-right is nearly 44mm.

If you don't have a Cartier AD, make a little cardboard cutout of the watch and try it on your wrist.

Any advice on stainless will it say stainless? I've been thrifting alot more lately so I like this idea. BTW thanks for the response

>>17924938
Already have steak, maybe a watch would be cool so I can say steak o clock.

>>17924946
Buy those nudie watches.

>>17924944
It'll always say "stainless steel". If it's crap metal it'll say "base metal bezel" "base yp" etc.

>>17924931
There are some nice casios for 30. But put a little more effort and get a g shock.

>>17924928
Yea I might just buy it from my regular AD instead. They might even move me up the list for a Pepsi. Groveling for a piece of metal, there’s gotta be something in the Bible about this shit.

Good to know. I might go looking today.

Fr some real silly billys.

>>17924931
The Casio F-201 is objectively the best watch. Very clean display, slightly larger than the F-91, with mm-dd date and day name. Stopwatch. Countdown timer with repetition. Up to 5 alarms can be set to repeat on specific days or throughout specific months. Weighs only 24 grams. Costs only $15. Just don't hold it underwater for too long.

>>17924572
replace compass with 24h ... profit

>>17924963
>Yea I might just buy it from my regular AD instead.
The price online is at the very most the price you'll pay at the AD. If you hem and haw convincingly, you might be able to get a discount at the AD, though. At least they might throw in an extra strap.

Whatcha wearing today watch gang.

Wearing my spare cheapy I keep on my office in case I forget to put a watch on before leaving home.

I'm on travel so I'm wearing my travel watch.
Going to get ripped off buying a diamond for my gf's (soon-to-be fiancee's) ring.

Question: do you think a girl would rather have a 1 carat diamond that's absolutely flawless, or a 5 carat diamond that's piss-yellow and full of pencil shavings?

>>17925022

>>17925073
>Question: do you think a girl would rather have a 1 carat diamond that's absolutely flawless, or a 5 carat diamond that's piss-yellow and full of pencil shavings?
Ditch the girl if she prefers a bigger but worse-looking diamond.

I got mine a 1.5 carat emerald cut high high end diamond (like flawless, VVS, all that shit) and you know what the bitch does with it? Keeps it in her closet and wears a $30 fake one from amazon. And thank god she does because she has lost 3 of them.

>>17925073
>Question: do you think a girl would rather have a 1 carat diamond that's absolutely flawless, or a 5 carat diamond that's piss-yellow and full of pencil shavings?
If she wants to save you money, she'll go for the shitty diamond. The answer probably depends more on her friends. If they know diamonds or if they're white trash that just goes for carats.

A truly flawless, colorless, ideally cut, 1 ct round brilliant is going to be around 20k USD.

Nice watch, btw.

>>17925097
kek. Outstanding.

Looking for a decent watch under $500 that has purple on it, preferably something like royal purple face. I usually wear around 40mm but not super picky as long as its not a womans watch

>>17925097
Just like fake watch bros...

>>17925130
maybe the purple Orient Mako?

Where my orientals at?

Has anyone here gotten a custom watch made? I have an opal that was my late fathers and is both of our birthstone and ive always wanted to do something with it and seems like it might be good in a watch in some way. I imagine that must be obscenely expensive to get custom watches made though.

>>17925150
This seems like it should be black instead of silver

>>17925152
would probably be way cheaper to make it into a pendant

>>17925150
Fucking soul

>>17925155
>make it into a pendant
Yeah this is the easy answer but necklaces on men are kinda iffy. I have thought about a ring or cutting it for cufflinks but best to keep it as one piece.

For this color/price point, microbrands are where it's at.
An used Direnzo should fit. (This one or the one with an integrated bracelet.)

>>17925130

Also picrel

>>17925167
What price point do you need to go to with purple to get non microbands? That mako is decent but i already have a kanno which is pretty similar and i can't find the purple for sale anyways.

>>17925169
I like this one.

Air KANG 34mm

This is now a purple watch thread.

>>17925174
Wow a good looking air king, don't see those everyday. Modern air king is one of the ugliest fucking watches every made

>>17925178
Indeed. Many of the older ones had clean simple designs whereas the AirKANG of today is an overly busy eyesore.

>>17925172
It's nice that this one is actually available and the purple is on the darker side.

>>17925177
Finally a black one. It's a shame most of these seem a bit hard to find

>>17925013
Wait they do shit like that? TBQH they did when I bought me Pelagos, but the guy was literally angry when I went and picked up my Rolex.

>>17925171
Cheating answer : Not much if you are into Swatch and Gshock, and maybe some vintage offerings. (Vintage Omegas that go for 1-1.5k)
But between this and some modern Omega offerings, there is a big void, more or less. The is this 36mm Longines, vut it's a womens' watch.

>>17925073

Lab diamonds seem cooler than natural ones to be honest. I'm surprised they still cost so much though, wonder how much they actually cost to make or if they just dont want to collapse the diamond market.

>>17925130
Final one before I go. This one is on preorder, apparently.

>>17925206
That crown seems so large relative to the face size.

>>17925186
>Wait they do shit like that? TBQH they did when I bought me Pelagos, but the guy was literally angry when I went and picked up my Rolex.

Yeah, they want your business. If a guy needs to make his sales numbers at the end of the month, he'll make it worth your while. They have to compete with the website on customer service. If that means they give you a free strap instead of watching you walk out the door to "think it over" then it's a win in their books.
Moreover, if you like the place, that's where you'll go when, say, you're looking to buy a gift for your gf. (Girls love the red Cartier box.)

When the spergs bitch about forming a relationship with your AD, this is literally how you do it.
Then when, a couple years down the road, some limited edition like the Tank Chinoise comes around, they'll make sure they get one for you.

>>17925172
nice outfit, effay

>>17925174
Love the kang, those bezels look fantastic but I know I need a smooth one. If I ever get to selling a bunch of my shit I'm going for the 14000 silver dial. Very nice, anon.

>>17925202
>Is this band purple cloth or a leather?
No idea. Seems like leather to me, but don't sue me if it's not.

>>17925210
I mean they already got me a no-date subby, the issue I had at the time was I waited too long to reply to the text. And he already texted someone, and apparently they got pissed.

>>17925208
Could be perspective, depends on what you find big or too big. I like big crowns because I have something to compensate for

>>17925202
>I'm surprised they still cost so much though, wonder how much they actually cost to make or if they just dont want to collapse the diamond market.

A ton of it is markup taking advantage of the fact that real diamonds command such a high cost, but there is still more to it than microwaving graphite powder.
The resultant crystal still has to be jewelry-grade. The process to make perfectly pure carbon crystal hasn't been perfected yet so even lab grown diamonds have shit tons of flaws.
The stone also needs to be cut and that can't be done by a machine yet either. A skilled gemcutter will command a pretty high rate for his labor.

>>17925219
Well, at least you got your watch, so whatever. The guy was probably upset that he was going to have to have a very angry call with another customer who thought he'd "got the call".

>>17925223
They already got yelled at when I got there, luckily it was only a no-date sub. And unlike that faggot I’m not a reseller.

>>17925202
The problem with lab grown diamonds is that they have zero resale value.

Sure, they're chemically identical to mined diamonds, but as soon as they check the stone's serial number, they realize it's lab-grown and therefore worth nothing.
A lot of jewelers and diamond dealers outright refuse to take them in trade, even if they sell lab-grown diamonds.

So, sure, a lab grown stone may cost 2000 compared to an equivalent mined stone being 5000, but if you ever want to upgrade your stone, you have nothing to trade in. Dealers will always take mined diamonds.

>>17925230
So youre saying you should just buy some divorcees lab grown ring on ebay for pennies on the dollar?

>>17925230
How do you even determine if they're lab grown or mined?

>Perpetual cal
Annual, but it's a cool one.

>>17925251
oh yeah rolex cant into movements, forgot

>>17925236
Literally paperwork. Both lab grown and mined stones need a proof of origin, where they were mined/grown at and all that stupid shit.

>>17924292
Time to get a new watch

Im falling in love with Cartier

Currently eyeballing this w31044m7
For 2k it seems like a bargain

Is there something wrong with it?

>inb4 its a womens watch
ITS A 35MM MENS WATCH

>>17924874
>Ghastly, please don't. Describe what yo want and im sure people can give you good suggestions.

What's the closest I can get to H. Moser Venturer Vantablack Stainless Steel. Budget is 2k.

>>17925273
>makeup brush in back
I support your use of hrt brave anon

>>17925236
>How do you even determine if they're lab grown or mined?
To make sure that it's not a conflict diamond or stolen property, every "legal" diamond (manmade or natural) has a tiny serial number etched onto it with a laser. That way you can trace the path the diamond took from the ground to the ring on your finger.

>>17925279
going for that supreme leader core?

Pashas are kino and I’m tired of pretending they’re not

>>17925273
>Is there something wrong with it?
2k is about what they're worth.
As always, vet the seller as much as the watch itself.
Make sure that it's got the boxes and the papers.
Make sure all the serial numbers match up.
If it's been serviced, make sure it was Cartier that did the service, not Johnny at the Watch Stop with his aggressive buffing wheel.
If it seems like a deal too good to be true, it is.

The watch itself is cool, though. It will wear about the same as a 34mm Rolex Air King, but it's very shiny so it will still be prominent. Any bigger and it would look blingy.

>>17925273
>complications Cartier for 2k
IDK man, face to face deals are always sus.

>>17924180
Asking once again. Bigger case size would also be ok. Price not an issue.

>>17925366
What's wrong with that Omega, though?
At the time it was made, Omega was independent. You can find good examples of them for cheap and the movements are really well made. Any watchmaker can service it and get it running to factory spec.
