Expensive bro. Looks pathetic, can’t be worth the money

>>17935082
Not my favorite UN design. The classic Torpilleur is cool, though. The Freak watches are also cool.

They also take an absolutely brutal hit on depreciation, so it's better to buy used. They are also kind of spotty on build quality.

>>17935082
UN is garbage

Get the Freak instead, Freak is cool.

It's a cool reference to their historic marine chronometers, but they look huge on the wrist. 42mm is wearable, but the bright white dial and narrow bezel makes it look larger.

Nice A. Lange & S-öh...

Why does omege keep making the lugs on AT rounder and rounder with each iteration? At this point it looks like they just put a bezel on a fucking beetle.

>>17935138
I'm not watching that faggot. GO will always be in the shadow of Lange, fairly or not. HOWEVER...they did make a 25 piece limited edition hidden tourbillon a couple years ago that is my favorite watch they have ever made.

Datejust or Explorer for a wristlet one watch collection? Both 36. I keep waffling back and forth on which to get.

>>17935266
>WaitJust

>>17935266
Explorer has a lot less "40 year old middle manager" energy.

>>17935269
I'd buy the Explorer no question if it still had the vintage style numerals. The new blocky ones don't do anything for me.

Yah!
>>17933828
What good are you faggots?

>>17935266
Datejust if you want to go vintage.
Explorer if you want to go brand new.

>>17935212
How so?

>>17935202
High brow casual watch would be something like a steel Reverso.

>>17935308
>Why are beads of rice bracelets so fucking good bros
>It's like the most comfortable thing ever

Because they have a lot of play between all of the elements so they can follow the contours of your wrist. There's a little bit of twisting possible. It's the same reason that a well broken-in Jubilee bracelet is so comfortable.

>>17935301
>OP in 34 mm, buy some straps for a change
Good choice.

34mm seems small on paper, but doesn't relaly look any different to a 36mm on the wrist, but after a few weeks of wearing it, you get really used to the comfort.

>>17935333
36mm is for women or kids. 34mm is for petite women or little kids.

Hey lads what's up?
I am just dropping by to say that, ever since I started this trip, my credor gained 2 seconds. That's 2 seconds in one week on a 20 year old watch with no service history. My GS gained half a second in 3 weeks but that one is essentially a quartz so.it doesn't coint.
Which confirms again my theory that Seiko doesn't care about Seiko. All their good stuff and good engineering is reserved only for GS and Credor. Reminder that all 3 of my 6R35 movements gain or lose 60-90 seconds a day. Only after regulating my presage, did it fall within spec with its +15 per day.
So yeah, Seiko only raised their recent prices to go upmarket but didn't do anything on the qc department

>>17935503
Cool selfie

>>17935507
my 4r35 loses like 10 seconds over a week
just have better luck

>>17935401
>>17935405
Bro, not him. But that's not so hard. Almost all digital casios have chronograph function. Maybe you are thinking of a mechanical chrono, but chrono is not exclusive of mechanical watches.

>>17935512
Yeah the 4r is from a different gen

>>17935507
My Weekdater loses a minute every month when it behaves and a minute a week when it doesn't.

>>17935418

Exactly. If you have a white gold or platinum one, people will assume it's steel.
Even a yellow gold one, no one has any idea what they actually cost.

>>17935579
If you're a Rorexu guy, Tokyo is your place to buy one. There are tons of great offers here. Two dozen places who sell them at Ueno. Highly recommend it.

Because someone tricked you into thinking Seik-- I mean, cat food, was good.

Thoughts on king seiko? Are they worth getting considering their price point?

>>17935680
>Are they worth getting considering their price point?
No, laughably overpriced even by Seiko standards. Buy a vintage one.

>>17935680
The movement is shit (yes it's me again, fuck Seiko) but they actually look very shiny and classy up close. Much smaller than you might expect though. Not a bad thing, just a heads up.

>>17935683
Like this guy said, buy a vintage one at half the price, they actually have a decent movement.

>>17935680
They can be decent secondhand. Wouldn't buy them new. Same goes for GS and I like them more.
>>17935683
The vintage ones are nice but keep in mind servicing can be expensive.
>>17935686
The movement is middling especially for the price. But if it was second hand at idk, say 60% I would consider it.

>>17935643
I have one but have no desire to get another

>>17935185
Agreed

>>17935686
>yes it's me again, fuck Seiko
I'm confused, didn't you just spend like 2 grand on one?

>>17935686

>>17935713
Bitter levels rising.

>>17935713
Seiko for under $200 is good. Seiko from $201-$3000 or so is bad, then $3000+ is good again. Roughly and with many exceptions

>>17935722
I can agree with that. From my anecdotal experience/evidence, it's true.

sorry but at this point if you don't own a datejust, you're fucked and will never make it

>>17935726

>>17935730
Love the colors on the new ones but the double batons look so shit.

>>17935731
Agreed. The previous OP's without the double baton's are awesome. Don't like modern Rolex but if I was gonna get one it would be either the grape or grey.

>>17935733
gray dials are so pretty

>>17935726
I love the finishing of the movement on those. They look amazing especially for the price

>>17935730
>>17935733
I wish they didn’t bother at all with the batons on the older ones. Just give me wg hands and indices.

>>17935888
I won't. I guess I hyped it up to an impossible standard.
I know I will get shit on for this but I feel that my GS spoiled me. I am expecting something much, much better at 11.000€ than the 7800€ I paid for the GS.

What should I do with my “affordables”? I have no friends or family that would wear them. I post them on WUS for next to nothing and zero bites. Should I put them on eBay? I honestly just want to throw them away but it seems so wasteful. I make an assload of money at work so I don’t need the cash, shipping them out is a hassle and I just can’t be bothered.

>>17935991
It's subjective. The Credor feels like a 2000€ watch, this one didn't feel like an 11000-12000€ watch.
Plus, the casing had uneven "coin" patterns. Pic related. This shouldn't pass QC on a 5 digit watch.

I am not tryna cope here or anything because I really wanted to love that watch, but it can't not be an original. The guilloche and everything was too perfect, and it had two tiny "breguet" signatures on the dial.

You muppet.
A date function will immediately make your DRESS watch look anachronistic and stupid. It's one of those things that show poor taste and lack of refinement, just like wearing a suit with a belt.

I won't even elaborate further. Please, buy that 40mm stainless steel centered second automatic JLC """""dress watch""""".

The only anachronistic and stupid thing is a kid who thinks dressy = minimalist.
No one in their right mind will think that a grand complication is not dressy.

It's not.

Just get an Apple watch then.

If you don't like complications, you may as well not be into watches at all.

Probably made it. Bitter anon's favorite image superimposed over Reverso Anon's Piaget.

I could not care less about the amount of work put into this ugly shitter (btw it's not as much as you think it is, the whole design was made using softwares and pretty much every parts are machine made).
The only criteria that matters is AESTHETIC. You either understand beauty or you don't. This Chopard is a fucking mess.

Imagine falling for the complications meme.

Face it retards, complications are
>ugly
If you think a clustered dial or a date window look good then you have no taste.
>not that impressive
All the work is done by computers and machines now. Even shit tier brands like Baume & Mercier know how to make a perpetual calendar.
>a fucking pain to service
Enjoy paying 3k to have your moonphase stainless steel JLC serviced.
>useless
The only one that is vaguely useful is date, which you need to be reminded of what...? 5 or 6 times times a year at best? Not worth it considering how a date window makes your watch look ugly. If you ACTUALLY NEED a complicated watch for whatever reason, just buy something disposable like a Casio or an Apple Watch. It'll be way cheaper and more suited for your lifestyle.

2 OR 3 HANDS (SMALL SECOND ONLY), GOLD CASE, SMALL DIAMETER, VINTAGE OR VINTAGE INSPIRED.
That's it.

>>17936104
If, hypothetically, only something like a Cartier Tank LC is a dress watch, then when is it appropriate to wear something like an ALS Lange 1?

>>17936126
>Ah, the TGV of men's fashion. So sick of seeing this cunt.
Worst of all, he forgets the number one rule of fashion: don't be fat.

>>17936134
ALS are almost exclusively bought and worn by overweight retired boomers who want to flex on their overweight retired boomer friends.
Same with FP Journe, complicated Patek, etc.

>If, hypothetically, only something like a Cartier Tank LC is a dress watch, then when is it appropriate to wear something like an ALS Lange 1?

Going by "tradition" for whatever that's worth.
The small, gold, uncomplicated watch is for formal wear e.g. black tie and up.
A larger, complicated watch like the Lange 1 or a perpetual calendar is appropriate for informal wear, e.g. business suit. Anything above casual wear.
For casual wear, a sports watch is fine, obviously.

More realistically, though, since so few men in western countries, even wealthy men, dress in formal wear anymore, the old rules about dress watches no longer apply.
Basically as long as it's not obviously a sports watch, anything is a "dress watch" now.

completely fucking oversized. the enamel breguet would be a grail watch if it was 35 or 36mm

that's based as an idea, but why the fuck did they make a tranny one wtf

America was founded on the backs of nigger labor. These watches are being made with historical accuracy.

>>17936133
what watch is she wearing?

>>17936177
Damn. It was a cool watch, especially with a blue dial. An uncharacteristic design for Rolex too. Not sure if worth the money though. It seems used ones are going anywhere between 10-15k

>>17936199
I'm sure they'll bring it back again at some point in the future. Maybe with some ref. 6541 elements.

For whatever reason Rolex just left the Milgauss stagnant for a long time. Maybe it was low sales figures or something else but it quickly got surpassed badly by anti-magnetic developments from many other brands. The reality is very few people need a watch with more anti-magnetism than what the Milgauss offered, but it's a bad look when they make this hyper specialized watch that is actually just shit at what it was designed to do in comparison to what other brands were offering. It would kind of be like if the Sea-Dweller was actually only 200m water resistant, it just wouldn't really make sense.

I need a quartz dress watch under 200$. Am a wristlet, so no orient bambino et similia. Recs? Vintage is fine too

>>17936201
Could be, but if anon here >>17936205
is right, it might not happen. Although, people probably care about the antimagnetic properties even less than they do about WR of their diver and buy it for the looks alone. Of course with diver's 200m is the minimum, so perhaps these antimagnetic watches could have some minimum baseline as well, and once that is met, it's a non-issue. The Sea-Dwellers and Deep Seas etc are mainly marketing stunts anyway, no one needs 8000m WR, nor do they need 1 billion gauss worth of antimagetism, you'd think Mil Gauss is enough.

>>17936205
>It would kind of be like if the Sea-Dweller was actually only 200m water resistant, it just wouldn't really make sense
But I'm sure the Milgauss actually does withstand one million gauss, maybe other brands have more gauss, but if one million is enough, why would Rolex view that as a bad thing

>>17936216
get an automatic tissot for $238 bro:

mil refers to 1000 gauss, not a million

>>17936221

You make a good point that many other companies make watches that are more anti-magnetic and can manage to do so with clear casebacks. If Rolex were to re-release the Milgauss, they'd keep the name out of tradition, but the new watch would be completely amagnetic.

But as it was, it was an unpopular watch that required a unique case and crystal. Rolex probably decided they'd be better off taking that manufacturing capacity on making more of the popular, in-demand watches.

>>17936228
In the 50s when the Milgauss was introduced resistance to 1000 gauss was a lot. Now all Omega master co-axial movements are resistant to 15000+ gauss. I'm pretty sure the latest Milgauss was resistant to a lot more than 1000 gauss but I'm not sure by how much. It's all sort of pointless stat-wanking anyway BUT Rolex has been in an arms-race with Omega over depth rating (see the ongoing ultradeep vs deep sea challenge watches). I think advances in anti-magnetic technology have largely made the Milgauss irrelevant in the modern watchmaking landscape. I do hope they bring it back though because it was one of the only interesting modern Rolex watches in my opinion.

Get the Seiko SACM with the nice textured dial. It's small, has a high tier super accurate quartz movement and generally shits on every other dressy quartz in the price range.

I'm either buying this tonda, or a bathyscaphe for my next purchase. What would you choose?
