Dude is a tremendous narcissist. He constantly avatarfags and draws attention to himself and when people tell him to knock it off he acts like it must be because they're jealous and don't own watches. He even used to post pictures from his "dates" (read: whores that he paid to hang out with him) where he did wrist shots with the faces of other people in his group visible and unblurred. Once in a while an anon would post a screenshot of his friend's face as a reaction image to his posts, at first he would threaten him for trying to dox him but now he ignores it. But it just goes to show how little he regards anyone but himself that he's busy taking wrist shots while hanging out in public and not thinking twice about posting his friends pictures on 4chan.

Honestly if banning isn't going to stop him(he's been banned multiple times and he evades it) everyone should just ignore him until he stops. The regulars here know far more about him at this point than they should have any right to know about a nameless stranger.

Seikos tend to have really terrible bracelets so you might end up wanting to put it on some kind of strap instead. Do you know the lug width of this watch? If it's 20mm you're golden but I've seen seiko's like this with 19mm lug width and that would be more of a bitch to get aftermarket straps for. Even if it's 18mm that would be preferable to 19mm.

"In-house" doesn't matter as much as you think. VC existed for over 200 years without ever making an in-house movement. They only started doing so in the late 2000s.
Their specialty was modifying movements, building complications, and finishing, not building blanks.
And a JLC movement is hardly bad. Patek and AP used the same movement from JLC.

tl;dr: insisting on in-house only reveals a deep ignorance about the history of the watch industry.

You clearly don't have enough, otherwise you'd be posting pics of your new Overseas.

But, to your question about the Zenith. Only buy the Zenith if you want the Zenith. Since you led off with it being an OS-cope, you clearly don't want it that bad.

The thing that's got you considering copes is not necessarily the money. If you can save 10k, you can save 20k. It's the idea of spending that much on a watch that stays your hand. That's why so many people have "watch journeys". It's not like they're learning about watches and then settle on Rolex. They're working their way up to getting comfortable spending that much on a watch.
>Get used to spending 500+ on a watch, then get used to 1000+, then get used to spending 3000+, then 6000+, and so forth until you can bring yourself to spend 10k on a watch and now you've got the Datejust you wanted back when buying a Seiko was a reach.

Seriously, just keep saving.

I'm with you anon. Don't spend 15k on a 1st or 2nd gen Overseas. These watches were so bad VC had to change the design 3 times in 20 years. Not only that, but now that they've reintroduced the 222 to their catalogue the Overseas seems bloated and awkward in comparison.

Honestly the Overseas' hype is pretty much dead now. I've recently watched a video of some asian dude who bought a perpetual calendar Overseas (had to wait several months for it), sold it one year later at a 30k loss.

Integrated bracelet watches in general are pretty much a dead fad (with the exception of the RO/Nautilus). For that reason I wouldn't buy the Zenith either.

Sometimes you have to question what you think you really want. A few months ago I really wanted a Santos. After looking into it I've learnt the movement was basically a copy of an ETA, and the screws on the bracelet were just decorative. Thank fucking God I didn't buy one.

It really is dumb. I own two ETA based watches and one is a Seamaster so it's in-house and gets away with it, the other a IWC Flieger which is a revised ETA also but it costs fucking nothing, under 3k with papers. At that price it's a no brainer to get a quality piece with ETA, but who the fuck would pay over 5k for a god damn ETA or ebauche? Jesus just burn your money at that point.

40 to 44m doesn't pop off your watch if you have a normal man sized wrist and aren't a manlet. Literally. A 41mm Seamaster looks just about adequate and I'm just over 6ft. I can wear 44mm if I want, not bigger than that, and 42mm basically is the perfect fit for me.

Just trying to point out that ALS watches tend to nose dive in regards to market value. And the reason are due to the poor after purchase experience that you say is so rare.

Don't believe me? Look at the Lange 1 for example, that's a 44k starting RRP watch. Look how much they are being sold for on Chrono24 or GMs, 15k-25k. And I don't mean the ones with grand complications, the entry level ones that's littered throughout the market.

Obviously going by how much of a bitteranon you sound, you probably can't even afford a Tudor. So all of this is naught for you.

It's just one of those old brands that has never quite died but never quite thrived, passing from one ownership group to another. For a while they were really popular among Russian oligarchs.

Their initial claim to fame was their marine chronometers which they sold to navies all over the world. The Torpilleur model is a pretty faithful recreation of the design.

>How do you deal with the tarnishing.
It does tarnish but not as quickly as normal sterling silver, like jewelry or eating utensils. Some people don't mind the tarnish since it gives it a little patina. I liked the bright white silver color so I gave it a quick wipe-down with Twinkle and it looked good as new.

Yes, and I've even owned a Grand Seiko. Two, in fact. The reason I flipped them is because once get stop basedfacing over the magic ninja sword polishing, the rest of the watch is, in fact, really ordinary.

And that costs less than a million? Doesn't sound expensive. Is it in a landfill?

Yeah, he should have asked when Whoretadello was posting, then you'd see all sorts of samefagging about how great GS is.

Hmm, maybe a very nice vintage Omega? Other than that, sticking to Grand Seiko I think you're going the right direction but I think the pic related dial is better.

Also lovely. The green textured dials are in consideration too

Any suggestions on the vintage Omega, btw? I’ve got a couple at the moment (CK 2975 and a gold 1954 Seamaster). My intention is to bring a modern watch in but I love old Omegas

Vintage Constellations are great. They made so many different kinds too. The pie-pan dial and C-case ones are the classics everyone thinks of, but there's a million others.

They're also criminally undervalued since everything Omega is either Moonwatch or Seamaster 300.

I think I'm gonna go with pagani. Don't really care much about the bezel being ceramic, and if I'm buying a cope shitter anyway, I might as well spend as little as posdible. As long as the watch looks reasonabily similar to the gmt and the movement does not break, I'll be satisfied until I can afford the real one... if ever.

My dad just gave this to me tonight as a late 31st birthday gift, he said he used to wear it for years after I was born until the battery had died, but he just got a replacement battery in it for my birthday days ago. I know nothing of watches or watch fashion, is this considered a cool or valuable model from the early 90s? no plans to sell, just genuinely curious.
