Rolex.

Happy NYE from the most degen city on earth (Las Vegas).

Are you going to get your grail in 2024, and if you have it are you going to get a new watch?

>>17957117
Happy new year to you too!

>most degen city on earth (Las Vegas)
Isn't it just all about escorts and doing boring vanilla stuff with them? There are some hidden gems in Germany where you can find all kinds of weird ultra degen shit.

>>17957131
It says "Vacheron Constantin" on the dial and he can barely afford it. Him saying "this is the greatest watch ever made" is a way of convincing himself he should buy it even though it would be unreasonable.

>>17957127
>What happened to it?
I've got watches I like. There's some I wouldn't mind having, but a grail? Nah I don't care that much

>>17956107
Can you explain how you got 0% financing for two years? This was through your credit card? Would love to do this.

>>17957131
This music fits perfectly with the watch. Why? Because it's the greatest watch ever made.

Can a watch with black nylon wrist strap be worn with brown leather belt or boots? Would this clash, considering they are different materials?

Cope if you must, and you will..

>>17957117
Don’t really have a grail and still use the ol swatch and/or casio, I just think watch lore is neat.

A shitty Seiko Z199 bracelet from 1981 is nicer than a Rolex bracelet even from the late 90s. Sad

Bitch please.. I got my grail last year.

Where the hell is Whoretadello?

I know this isn't a watch question, but since you guys seem pretty loaded and into fashion, do you know where to buy legit gold jewelry other than a jewelry store? Are the gold necklaces on Amazon legit?

>As for the Seiko. Well it's a Seiko from Japan. Very reliable, withing 30 seconds +/- any time of the day. Reset for 1 min only once so far, but if you value high accuracy over everything else, buy a quarts. Power reserve is great, left it all weekend long in the box and was still ready for service on Monday. I must really say the luminous marks are fantastic. Very bright, and last all night. I've been awaken by my dog at 4AM and the marks are shining brightly back at me easy to read the time even without my glasses. The sweep hand is very hard to see because the luminous material is so small, but I don't need to see the sweep hand at night.

>>17957256
If gold is "legit" it will have visible assay markings on it.

Sometimes, there's several marks (for the assay office/year/quality), but certain companies (like Tiffany's) can just print their name and the quality: Tiffany's Au750.

Anything without assay markings is a scam.

>>17957256
>you guys seem pretty loaded
Hahahahaha lmfao this the poorfag central for 4chan lmao

>>17957255

>Hahahahaha lmfao this the poorfag central for 4chan lmao
But you keep judging me for my watch choices. How the fuck do you guys know so much about rolexes if you're not even loaded?
>>17957240
My dream watch was discontinued this year even though I had enough money because I got waitlisted at my local Rolex supplier. I'll never get it...

>>17957284
You can still get a used Milgauss, there's hundreds of them out there. It's not a rare watch.

>>17957284
How much cash would I need to have to be considered loaded?

>>17957284
>How the fuck do you guys know so much about rolexes if you're not even loaded?
They parrot opinions they've heard elsewhere.

>>17957290
>How much cash would I need to have to be considered loaded?
$350,000 in liquid assets?

>>17957286
but how do I know an online vendor isn't a scammer? Do I literally just search "milgauss" on Amazon? What if it gets stolen by my heroin addict neighbor?

>>17957294
>$350,000
lol maybe you are if you live in poorope lmao

>>17957295
Buy the seller, not the watch.
eBay has authenticity guarantees. Chrono24 has plenty of retail vendors in addition to private sellers.

You can always check their sales reputation. You can always ask them for photos to prove the watch's serials and papers match. If they're cagey or evasive, just move on.

Liquid? I'd say you'd need at least a gallon of gold to be considered truly wealthy in this economy.

>>17957109
When is casio going to do this. Perfect display of all the relevant info I need. Inb4 w800h. I know what fucking year it is. I don't need that. I'd rather have a larger day/ date. And I don't need any gimmicky second countdown timers or world time or any of that faggy shit.

I kind of fucked up by not getting this one when I could. Nice little quartz under £200. Would make a perfect first watch beater.

>>17957361
Pray that the Casiotron reissue this February will do it

my grail watch has changed multiple times since I got into watches. by the time I'm comfortable enough to dump thousands on a watch it'll be something else anyway

datejust 41 with fluted bezel, oyster bracelet, green motif dial

i love the combination of the oyster bracelet with the fluted bezel, you get the flashiness of the bezel but the seriousness of the bracelet

idk who that is but

>smooth+oyster
too basic for me
>flute+jubilee
too showy, not good for a daily

either jubilee+smooth or oyser+fluted provides a nice balance

are we really pretending these are two different watches?

also, what's another iconic gmt?

>too basic for me
that is the point, to casualmaxx it
>too showy, not good for a daily
that's a cope, if you buy a rolie and wanna stealthwealth it and try to be under the radar, you might be gay
only thing you might be correct about is that the fluted looks better than the flat (non domed) bezel on the 41
no point in buying a polished watch if you wanna be low key, at that point might aswell get a explorer1 or a sub
>>17957522
there is no point in not making the GMTMariner at this point, glidelock it, gmt bezel but unidirectional to keep time keeping, 300m wr
solved
>>17957529
americans are full of goyslop so they need the increase

Show me a pic of a DJ41 where it looks right on the wrist. I fucking dare you to do it.

That’s a good watch

>>17957538
Best DJ combination is fluted and oyster. All datejusts are gay, but your bracelet signifies whether you are a top or a bottom. It’s obvious which is which

Smooth bezel is a straightjust, which is pointless. If you want a not gay watch, buy a not gay watch

I've heard of such things, but I don't think they still exist post-Swatch takeover.

What watch did you wear on new year's eve? For me it's Raketa.

>>17957650
Gotta Raketa it up.

>>17957637
nah, just appreciate the design of it, couldn't give a damn about redditors opinions like >>17957629

>>17957650
Citizen Eco-Drive of course.

while i do enjoy watches, i fail to see the pont of buying a watch that cost more than 1k

I got a Casio Protrek from my father. It's apparently 12 years old and he received it as a company gift back then, or rather chose it among a selection of gifts. However he has no clue about watches and never wore it really and now decided to give it to me because I'm the only watchfag in the family. Long story short: It doesn't seem to be charging, anyone have some experience with solar Casios of this time period? Common issues that could be causing this or whatever?

>>17957242

>All datejusts are gay, but your bracelet signifies whether you are a top or a bottom.
I have said before jubilee is more feminine ofcourse
oyster is more masculine
>Smooth bezel is a straightjust, which is pointless.
you also save 2k on not paying the white gold tax, which I believe is the main thing
>Best DJ combination is fluted and oyster.
I thought graham stephan had a smooth bezel but it was a fluted just now, maybe it wont be as gay as I thought
>>17957617
wtf is that
>>17957621

>>17957668
top reasons are
1) you understand shitters feel like shitters
2) you have sophisticated taste
3) maybe most importantly, you hate poor people

>>17957690
Thanks anon, you're a Godsend. I feel retarded for not noticing that the watch has a titanium bracelet myself but whatever. Definitely gonna try the capacitor.

I have 10 euro per month home insurance that covers jewelry on my person worldwide

>>17957631
Sure, that's a nice modern Breguet, just be extra careful with watches from ex-Soviet states.
If I were into that look and size and money wouldn't be much of an issue I'd probably go for a pre-Swatch Breguet from the 1950s-1960s though. The best examples with the Peseux 260 used to sell at around $10k at auctions but idk about current prices. Cheaper (sub-5K back then) examples with the Peseux 320 also exist. The 260s were chronometers marked on the movement with the viper head of the observatory of Besancon while the 320s bear the poinçon de Besançon. Extracts from the archives should be available from Breguet, and the Besancon Observatory should be able to provide the chronometer certificate.
L. Leroy also sold watches with the exact same movements and cases but their own dials and numbering.

>>17957704
>smooth bezel

does this mean you are a bottom that likes it smooth and lubed? by prior anons thought

It's not specific to russian oligarchs. Pretty much all luxury brands went from small and thin elegant dress watches to oversized sports shitters. Just look at the state of modern Patek and especially the Calatrava line.

There is probably a minority of Rolex owners who really like the aesthetics of the watch (I'm not disagreeing with them) and value the durability and reliability of a Rolex compared to other mechanical watches.

I've bought three base model Rolexes (one for my young son, one for my wife, one for myself) and I don't plan to buy another anytime soon. me and my AD are simply respectable everyday people who got to know and appreciate each other on a personal level. it's not a parasitic relationship built on mutual benefits.
it might be different with anglos and assorted americans who tend to be cold, calculating and business-minded people in my limited experience.

>>17957841
Sorry but I’m not buying an $8000 Omega which is Tudor quality just because I’m afraid I might impress someone. Find me an Omega that is finished better than a Tudor and I might consider them.

>>17957835
I have an Explorer and I like its aesthetics, it is not a sophisticated watch like a Royal Oak or a Nautilus and it is not an elegant watch like a Calaltrava. I like this watch for its functional and simple appearance.

>>17957859
>Southern Europe
There's your answer.

>>17957863
I agree that Rolex has good aesthetics. Their designs are the most imitated in the watch industry.

>>17957859
Sounds like a whole different world brother

Why are magnetic resistant watches a thing? Are there that many particle accelerator technicians around that making these is a good marketing decision? Wouldn't a basic plastic Casio cut it in that kind of an environment in a purely technical standpoint?

>>17957872
Is this an acrylic crystal?

>>17957875
Marketing

>>17957839
Don't fool yourself. If you're getting diamond hard for [ INSERT ANY PRESTIGIOUS BRAND THAT ISN'T ROLEX ] it's only to impress watchnerds.

Watch brands are basically little private mens clubs, and buying a watch is like paying a fee to become a member.
Some clubs are almost impossible to get into (FP Journe, Philippe Dufour, etc), while others are trying to trick you into thinking they're super exclusive even though you can buy a second hand ticket for cheap (Vacheron, Breguet...).

There are two reasons why watchnerds hate Rolex
>they make great watches at a fair price (talking from an horological point of view here)
>everyone wants to be part of the Rolex club : normies AND watchnerds

Don't be that one bitter watchnerd hating on Rolex for all the wrong reasons. Everybody knows Rolex is the only watch brand that actually matters.

>>17957880
I don't like tool watches they're not pretty

>>17957452
Nice

>>17957877
Yes, all Weekdaters have acrylic.

>>17957875
funni magnets go brrrrrr

>>17957875
You don't need to be around accelerator to magnetize your watch, plenty of people in engineering/science work with magnets or strong EM-sources
>Wouldn't a basic plastic Casio cut it in that kind of an environment in a purely technical standpoint?
Yeah, but people want nice mechanicals
Also, it's kind of a flex, like wearing a dive or military watch when they were actual tools

>>17957880
Having the most expensive tickets does not mean it's the best watch club.

>>17957875
>Wouldn't a basic plastic Casio cut it in that kind of an environment in a purely technical standpoint?
Casio made a great effort to create JIS Class 1 magnetic resistant analogue quartz watches in the 1990s, that's how the MT-G and the MR-G series came to be

>>17957889
Okay that's fair, but pic is the 9F quartz. As far as I'm aware, magnets should have minimal effect on it anyways?

>>17957897
>As far as I'm aware, magnets should have minimal effect on it anyways?
A quartz watch is using a tiny coil to move the hands, so I would imagine it would be pretty susceptible to electromagnetism. Also, the hands can get magnetized easily if they are made of steel

>>17957880
I’m amazed at how cheap the second hand modern Breguets get (in comparison to the original price).
These things seem to shed money at an alarming rate.

VGH

>>17957875
magnetization is one of the most common causes of issues with mechanical movements. you don't need to be an engineer, you still have some magnetic fields in your house like various electronics, speakers etc.
it's definitely more useful than >100m of water resistance for the average user

>wears a Rolex everyday
Trust me guys unless it’s a meteorite Daytona, no one gives a shit. Want to impress watchnerds wear a JLC or Grand Seiko. Of course if you buy them new prepare to lose half of their value the moment you walk out. Then again if you buy it use there’s always something wrong with them.

>>17958036
>Want to impress watchnerds
Impress them? I want almost no interaction with them at all

Supposedly, Gerald Genta was the designer of the Royal Oak, Nautilus, Ingeneur, Constellation and Polerouter. Yet when Gerald Genta was running his own company and had total freedom to make whatever he wanted, his watches looked clown-tier. So who really designed the Royal Oak, Nautilus, Ingeneur, Constellation and Polerouter?

>>17958037
Make that zero irl interaction and you got me.

>>17958037
Me neither, I bought this Rolex for me. This is why I never post it here or do I even try to be a regular here. I post here when I’m bored, I just feel like chiming in when people say Idiots buy Rolexes to impress random retards.

They're too busy looking at your ugly tranny face and general freakish appearance.

Grand Seiko should do a hall of mirrors watch. Everything including the dial is Zaratsu polished and faceted metal. Maybe add a laser powered by spring drive.

>>17958077
That’s a cute beaded moth you have there.

>>17958084
To be honest Grand Seiko should stop making watches.
>katana themed watches
This is getting embarrassing.

>>17958036
Grand Seiko are shit watches to impress the weak minded.

>>17957835
rolex does it better aesthetically than 99% of watch companies out there, design wise they're perfectly balanced and they just look amazing in person

>>17958090
Wouldn't that objectively speaking be Rolex in terms of numbers?? Not that I even dislike Rolex, love the Explorer, but normalfags and rappers are even lower on a scale of intellect than the average redditor watch nerd.

>>17958093
That is a fucking hideous watch you have worms in your brain.

Nothing wrong with that. Execution of that is another matter.

No, because all the retards who praise Gay Sexko for the finishing don't realize that the movements are laughably underfinished. They wish they could afford high-end brands but can't and cope with GS which, in their minds is "just as good".

>>17958113
There's a reason no one in Japan buys Grand Seiko.

That brand is meant for dumb gaijins. Always has been.

Are you still sticking with your point about Rolex or not?

>>17958126
Literally no one in Japan buys GS lmfao, just look at their watch magazines etc. In general Japs wear either Swiss luxury vintage brands if they're still poor students, and then Rolex/Patek/etc. when they're adults.

>>17958126
Yesh I think anything high end Seiko makes used to be just for Japan until foreigners demanded they get it too. Even now Seiko does a bunch of expensive shit that's only for Japanese people.

>>17958124
Patek went to shit the moment Thierry Stern became CEO.
His father was an old style jew with actual good taste and a true sense of style. He wore bespoke suits, enjoyed fine things and arts.
Thierry Stern is one of those disgusting degenerate arrogant modern jews who likes big flashy things.

>>17958117

shame it's just not comfortable

>>17958137
Why are you checking the info and news for Indians...?

>>17958132
Some japs do buy them, which is why there’s a huge used market for them. You can really get some deals on GS in Japan, you can get a few Spring Drive models that came out 1-2 years ago for $1500-$2000. That shit is like 75-90% off retail. You can get some quartz models for below 1k.

>>17958147
Well unfortunately import fees and taxes are a thing and make most of those deals, if you can find them, not so great anymore.

>>17958147
>That shit is like 75-90% off retail.
Fucking hell lmao
How can that brand stay in business?

>>17958149
True but why are you not picking them up while on vacation?

>>17958135
Cherchez la femme anon, Patek went to shit when he bedded and wedded the marketing intern and made her head of the design department.

>Sandrine Stern, as head of Patek Philippe’s creation department and wife of Thierry Stern, president of the brand’s board of directors, is the First Lady of a watch manufacture which creates timepieces that make connoisseurs’ eyes light up and consistently set new records at auctions year after year. She is managing both the brand’s product portfeuil and the Stern dinasty.

>To finance her studies she looked for a part-time job and luckily, the first job she was offered was at Patek Philippe. She could not hesitate in accepting, her father was so proud. It was only a short-term job but, instead of staying three months as originally planned, she has been there for over 18 years! Her first position was for the commercial team. But in 1998 she joined the watch creation team and she is now head of that department.

>While her husband is often away on business trips, she stays at home in Geneva with her children, her family and her work. After all, she directs a department with colleagues who continually tweak the latest sketches and ideas. “As my husband always says, I am his favourite complicated piece.”

>>17957109

Woah.
How accurate is that running?

>>17958151
Sure I guess if I ever went to Japan I'd probably get one.

>>17958159
+/-30 secs a month, the old movement shit the bucket so I had the local mall jeweller swap in an ETA F06.161 Big Date

>>17958164
Unfortunate. Did it shit the bed because of bad luck, because old Rolex quality is subpar, or because that's just something that can happen with old quartz?

>>17958164
That's a damn shame...
Still, lovely design, makes a nice everyday watch.

Let's say a watch dealer is selling a gold watch for $5k with the following characteristics:

>made by a good brand (Rolex, Patek, VC, etc)
>Geneva seal movement
>18k gold

How much do you think he paid for that watch?

This would all be true for pre-maxicase watches. It is definitely not the case anymore, and the Skydweller is fucking hideous (even if it is cool).

Any dead foreigners mentioned in the earthquake today?

>>17958108
Compared to what exactly? I don't get what you're getting at because below 10k movements usually don't have extravagant high end finishing. The best you can get is GO maybe. But for the most part Grand Seikos movements line up right in there with most of the other brands in that 2-10k price category it seems.

>>17958107
This is less offensive to me than the fact that the smallest current Calatrava is 39mm. What the fuck are they thinking

>>17958121
That's bullshit. When I lived in Japan, almost every one of my doctors or lawyers wore GS. Only waning variety show comedians wear rolex and such because they're desperate to impress people.

>>17958192
There is a Japanese poster here and according to him the people there love Swiss luxury watches lik Patek, Rolex and Tudor.

>>17958193

>>17958183
Ask any fanboy youtuber and they'll tell you their shitty Grand Seiko is better finished than that Glashutte Original, and all because their retarded "zaratsu polishing" that isn't even really japanese. GS owners are delusional.

What exactly cause the immense seethe against Grand Seiko? Rolex I get, ADs are bullshit and it's the normalfags choice of watch I guess. But GS? Maybe annoying fans, I could see how annoying fans could drive some people to dislike the brand. But to be that emotional about a watch brand because fans of it annoy you kinda puts you on the same level as those fanatic freaks who can't stop praising GS while shitting on other brands, or those fools who have a visceral reaction of hate upon hearing the name Rolex.
Just really fucking silly. They're watches.

>>17958193
Undoubtedly yes, Rolex has a higher market share in Japan than GS, but GS's market share is much higher in Japan than any other country. The point is, GS is absolutely not "intended for gaijin." They care way more about domestic sales than international, they just have a while to go to beat Rolex's long established reputation as a luxury brand. Non-japanese generally shit all over GS, Japanese like it, but the majority of people buy luxury brands to impress other people, and they know rolex is more impressive on an international level.

>>17958204
This post is wasted on this thread and all the bitterfags anon.

>>17958204
Generally, it's rolex fags that shit on gs. Just read the comment section on any Watchfinder video. Every comment shitting on seiko is simultaneously praising rolex. They're great watches, especially for the money, I'd just rather have an Omega because GS's case shapes just don't do it for me.

Nobody’s hating on GS, its market segment sits between Tudor and Omega. It’s the GSfags that keep spouting nonsense like how the finish is higher quality than Rolex that’s getting shit on. Also telling people to not by new isn’t hating on the brand.

>>17958204
Wanted to add, for me it's all about the name. I've had multiple Seikos in my life, and have had mediocre to poor experiences with them. My only exposure was to their cheap shit Seiko 5 mechanical movements and solar quartz (which was the most unreliable piece of shit movement, it's no Eco-Drive). Nothing about Seiko is "grand", and nothing about the name Grand Seiko inspires me to want to spend thousands on their product. I'm sure the watches are fine, but spending that much on anything Seiko will always seem absurd to me.

>>17958407
Oh left out the key bit, I'm sure most people's experience with Seiko is the same as mine, bottom of the barrel shit, so wearing one proudly seems like a joke to me.

>>17958183
damn, Glashutte movements look like this?

>>17958233
Now i get why it's called "grand"
