No shitters here bro. The Speedmaster triple date and Seiko Monster were gifts. I had an Explorer 114270 but sold it because it was shit

>>17958286
Imagine weaving white, pink, red and yellow gold as well as platinum into carbon fiber and making a watch case out of it.

>>17958288
>Can someone explain to me the Reddit mindset?

Consoom more is better.

>>17958281
They had a strong presence and enjoyed a high prestige in the Russian market before the revolution, and after the dissolution of the SU they created all kinds of limited editions for the Russian market with Imperial Russian generals, Tsarist palaces and Faberge eggs... I think they were probably the only Swiss hh brand that took the Russian market very seriously from the beginning.

ngl, all these samurais you've been posting are pretty nice but... they are nowhere near the Invicta Reserve Venom Samurai Dragon Chronograph!

>>17958273
>Titanium treated with a deep-hardening process is finished with layers of both brown and blue IP. Removal of the blue IP from the convex surface produces the watch’s unique look, with its rusted steel texture and prominent ascending-dragon image.
The bezel is hand carved with hammer strikes over a thousand times.

Someone should make a watch with just a big tourbillon. No hands, no gears for running or setting those hands, just a mainspring powering a tourbillon.

Dead until proven otherwise.
Alternatively he is both dead and alive at the same time until one of us goes and looks for him in Japan, a Schrodinger's Whoretadello.

>>17958440
>Piaget Altiplano
Too thin for my taste and needlessly expensive. Same reason I don't like that ultra thin Eco-Drive.

>>17958443
There's not much you'll find that's thinner for cheaper.

Is there something like the Alpinist but more expensive? I love the looks, but in terms of price range the Alpinist is a bit too low at 600 to 750 bucks. I don't mean that in a snobby "eugh I'm not paying commoner prices!" way, what I mean is that I'd like something similar but with higher quality finishing, better bracelet/strap, thinner case and movement and just basically the usual things that improve when comparing a cost efficient watch with a pricier one. No the current Explorer in its various sizes did not scratch the itch.
If there's really nothing I'll be fine with the Alpi too just wanted yo know possible options.

>>17958422

>>17958477
The other non-reissue alpinists are better in every way and about the same price.

this is the best explanation of the Rolex phenomenon I've read so far

>>17958479
Oh no I love those too, sorry I didn't just mean the SPB249. But again, I'd love a higher quality version with a more expensive bracelet and case and so on.
>>17958482
Completely disagree, but maybe that's true for many people.

>>17958477
Depends which rendition of the Alpinist you're referring to, but I have yet to find anything that really has the same feeling as this watch.

I have never seen a watch that I found attractive that was under $20000

bros

>>17958486
What is the cheapest most attractive watch you know?

>>17958486
RRP?

>>17958489
If 12 was at the crown this would almost make sense.

>>17958485
Either one of the three that I know of(classic, baby, and standard). How did you get on with the bracelet and do you usually wear watches that are above 12.5mm in case height? Looks great by the way.

>>17958491
>>17958490

>>17958493
The bracelet is from Uncle straps, it's actually quite nice, but is definitely missing some fine adjustment. Luckily it works for me, but still could be better. Throw the stock leather strap away immediately if you do get one, it's pure garbage (keep the clasp though).
It is the thickest watch that I own unfortunately, my other watches are within the 9-11mm~ range. Personally I don't really mind, I'm not really expecting it to be a thin dress watch or anything, and it's not bouncing off of things throughout the day.
As with most watches, I'd always recommend trying one on if you can.

>>17958438
Got you, bro.

>>17958497
This kid can't be serious.

>>17958485
just reach in the toilet next time dumb faggot, you’ll get the same feeling. doesn’t matter which overpriced diaper version you buy. this watch is a piece of shit, period. you are a coping poor who’s collection consists of casios and a combination of finastriside and minoxidil if the best watch you’ve ever held is some overpriced hunk of shit that runs faster than an mumbai street during peak shitting hours you stupid dumb faggot npc. fuck you. cant stand dumb fucking poor who exaggerate every dumb thing about their basic steel watch. hope you die this year, faggot.

>>17958522
What are you wearing on your wrist today bitteranon?

>>17958548
His shitty Breitling.

>>17958438
desu I don't understand the overwhelming dominance of automatics. they add bulk and daily winding not only isn't a big deal, I find with a modern sedentary lifestyle I need to top off my watch every morning or it slowly dies anyway over the week. I also dislike not knowing when you can stop winding a watch because it's fully wound. the only manual wind I've had was vintage, sadly.

>>17958571

I'm thinking about getting a new watch and I'm torn between the Citizen Stiletto AR3010 (36mm) and the Rotary Ultraslim (38mm). I have a 16cm wrist. Any opinions on which one I should go for? Or maybe I should just stick with my Casio?

Lol nice gloves r u gay?

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.

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.

>>17958648

>>17958671

LMAO

>>17958671
Get the Stiletto, it's better overall in every way, even has a jeweled quartz movement. It used to be a milestone for Citizen before they developed the eco-drive one. I'd get a black dial one myself, suits the aesthetics better imho.

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.

What did you think of it when you saw it at Torneau? I'm conflicted about the Nautilus. I think it's amazing but I have a feeling that I wouldn't like it if I saw it IRL. I used to dislike ALS watches until I saw them IRL.

>>17958435
>I like Vacheron because the value of my watch dropped by 30% the moment I left the boutique
That's such a weird thing to be proud of but okay

What the fuck makes it so that some people care so much about the valuations of watches? Do they maybe deep down not actually love wacthes in the same autistic way or something? If I heard someone complain about their Giulia QV dropping in value as soon as they bought it I would call him a passionless fag. Same goes for buying something in a certain colour not because you like it but because the resale value will hold better.

>>17958787

>>17958617
It's not hate, it's true. If grand seiko was as good as rolex, or better, they'd hold their value like rolex and people other than the sweatiest of watch nerds would buy them. But their prices for everything are fucking delusional for what you're getting. If they at least charged reasonable prices for their watches that would be a start. It would also be nice if the fit between the endlinks and case weren't so sloppy the spring bars are visible.

>>17958806
People who generally really care about the value of watches don't seem to be into watches, but rather the idea of projecting some sort of image to other people.

>>17958815
>visible spring bars
Is this the newfaggots most common complaint about watches? Even Rolex does it anon.

>>17958435
I think VC is the best too. Their craftsmanship is as good as anyone else, their designs are more simple and classical, and their watches are more affordable on the secondary market.

>>17958281
nuveau riche oligarchs enjoy the sex watches and other dumb shit like that

>>17958815
>their prices for everything are fucking delusional for what you're getting
What exactly do you mean? Any watch selling beyond, maybe 200 bucks is ridiculous considering what you're getting. How is Grand Seiko especially egregious compared to IWC, JLC, Tudor and so on?

>>17958804
Maybe you wanna go to /biz/ if you are interested in investmens, this is a watch thread

What is your strategy for buying a used gold watch that is priced between $5-10k? Do you research the cheapest price online and then offer that to the seller? Do you make an offer 20% lower than the cheapest price online (since that watch hasn't sold yet, it's probably overpriced)?

Abby says "Don't pay retail!"

>>17958762

>>17958792
if you can't find faults in the design that are obvious from pictures then you probably wouldn't change your mind seeing it irl
to me, it just looks lazily designed
although idk what clicked for you when you saw live ALS

>>17958783
take the difference in price of how many times the clasp is more expensive than the cheapshit seiko5 and multiply it by 10, you'll get the number of your scale
alternatively, for a decent watch, a quick adjust clasp is the SSD of watches, the only component that really improves the experience of wearing a watch and the main component that has been overlooked for far too long
>leather
not even worth putting on a deployant tbqh

>>17958831
For example, they put out a gold high beat automatic watch on a leather atrap for $45000. As a comparison, for about $35k you can get a gold Rolex Daydate with a gold bracelet - one of the best bracelets on the market - and yes it has a lower beat rate but you also get day and date complications. So you get more features, more precious metal, you save thousands of dollars, and if you wanted to sell it in a few years you'd probably get what you paid for it back. Why on earth would you buy the seiko for what they are asking?

>>17958806
it's the same as cryptocurrency bs
all the pedos and drug dealers love crypto for what it is, or was, while cryptobros only care about red and green lines in their graphs

>>17958804
like look at this fag

>>17958842
tell the seller to meet in person, crack his skull and melt the gold

Wish Longines had at least 50m WR on their dress watches like most other brands. Can't be that hard to achieve nowadays

>>17958847
I liked the 3-dimensionality and roundness of the gold hands, applied gold indices, and the finishing of the movement. I stared at it for several minutes under a magnifying glass. It looked like something that it would be impossible for a machine to make. I don't like most luxury watches because they have so many precise, sharp edges and corners and this causes them to look like they were made by machines (mass produced).

>>17958477
if you like the one with the cathedral hands, you could get an Oris Big Crown

>>17958858
Most dress watches have 30m WR. JLC is the oddball in that regard in that their MUT line has 50m WR.

Did Whoretadello report back yet or is he ded?

>>17958649
I don't get why people care about the name so much. will you buy swatch group shitters like Omega when they put a name they bought on the chinese-made watch? Seiko's more honest approach to naming is welcome at a time when corporations are trying to buy names with heritage left and right

>>17958858

Well one is dark, other is light. One's hands have a flourished design while the other's are simpler. One has text, the other doesn't. One displays the date, the other doesn't.

Stylistically they're quite different as far as watches made by the same company go.

>>17958897
There is this too, but I'm not a fan.

>>17958890
>>17958892
>>17958894
Why buy one of these at all? If you can save up the money to buy one of these, why not keep saving up for a good watch?

The whole unterschicht of "affordable luxury" watches just exists to con social strivers out of their money.

>>17958905
Because I like how they look. And I don't need to save up money for either. I need a watch for practical purposes first and foremost and these caught my eye.

I'd rather not spend countless hours in analysis paralysis overthinking every one of the ten thousand existing watches one can find on the internet. Not that I'm dead set on these two, but like I said I do like how they look as opposed to most of the other watches I've come across.

>>17958905
???
What exactly do you suggest for him that's like a Laco but "good". German Flieger watches, there's not much coming to mind.

>>17958914
I don't know if they're any better, but I was looking at these too. https://deklawatches.com/en/pilot/
Frankly, I prefer the more neutral colors of the Laco as they wouldn't really clash with anything.
From what I could gather on Google the build quality is comparable.

>>17958894
Just get the san martin flieger for $150 or so.
It's about as "made in Germany" as that laco lmao

>>17958918
Thanks for the suggestion, but they look kinda shitty and their website is sketchy.
I'm not under the illusion that Lacos are handcrafted by some old German watchmaker whose family has practiced the craft for five generations.

>>17958931
You've obviously already decided to buy the Laco (if you haven't bought it already). Stop pretending like you actually want advice because it's clear you're just trying to gauge how hard you'll get dunked on for buying that shitter.

>>17958931
san martin are okay
website: there's two main sites people buy from, one being the official "official" one while the other is an "official" retailer
it's all the same shit from the same place
I think their real store can be found on aliexpress.
basically, if you just want a knockabout flieger style for not much money they're good enough
I honestly don't see the point in paying 1000's for something that's designed specifically to be uniform
so no stowa and higher laco's etc., and certainly no iwc.

>>17958934
Are you a poor? Why are you so offended by me finding something I like without fantasizing and role playing for two years on the internet first?
I haven't bought the watch, and I did browse through those San Martin alternatives. You on the other hand have not even suggested any alternatives but have simply been sneeding because I'm not ildly daydreaming over luxury items I could never afford.

>>17958936
I hate the Chinese (for racist reasons).

>>17958937
That's really nice, but I'm not into the whole "buying used" thing, simply because I have no clue how poorly the item was treated by the previous owner and I'm not any kind of "hobbyist" for whom the historical pedigree means anything. I'm buying a tool, not a museum piece.
That watch you posted, everything I like about it (the design) is carried over to that "Münster".

>>17958945
>I hate the Chinese (for racist reasons).

>>17958945
>dreaming about one day owning a genuine laco

o i am laffin

>>17958944
I was looking at the "official" one, but the same actually applies to both sites. Not that the website should matter, but when your company can't put in the effort to crop the images that are supposed to showcase your product properly it leads me to question how much care was put into the product itself.

I know everything originates from China, but ever since sites like AliExpress became available I've become painfully aware that the Western companies who offshore their production there do impose some type of standards on the quality of the manufacturing. Standards which are not met when buying directly from the Chinks.

As far as I could see that watch by Seiko you mentioned was some anniversary limited edition. That shit is for super fans, not a good example to bring up I think. If you like Rolex and are annoyed by Grand Seiko fans saying they're better than Rolex then just say so.

>>17958966
>3 weeks wait. 0 buying history.
people are so retarded they dont even know how ad's get watches from rolex, how rolex rotate production batches
and the fact that you DONT have to suck cocks for one of the most produced models

>>17958975
I am one of those shills, I still don't own a rolie, It's literally over
I don't even wear a watch
a family member bought a sub a decade ago, I still have not caught up
why did you just not wait for a sub if you want a sub? they are literally overlapped and fill the same function, are you gonna flip it later?

>>17958966
how the fuck did it only take 3 weeks? in my shithole country you couldn't get an OP 36 even if you begged and bribed the AD. they just aren't sending much here.

>>17958978
>why did you just not wait for a sub if you want a sub? they are literally overlapped and fill the same function, are you gonna flip it later?
I wanted a 36mm first.
Jubilee Datejust + Submariner (no date) makes a good duo in my opinion.

>>17958996
you can fake them for 1/15th of the price. You are not paying for craftsmanship, time, knowhow, finishing or quality. 90% of the price is the brand. You are paying for brand recognition and not much more. Other watches at that price point have much more time and effort put into them. That's why rolex' watches have a closed back, because they don't give a fuck. Triple vaxxed sheep will keep buying them anyway

>You are not paying for craftsmanship
The Datejust and Submariner are below 10k. There are no handmade watches in that price point, only industrial-made luxury.
>time
Rolex' accuracy is better than COSC and Master Chronometer (their watches are certified to run at -2 / +2s a day).
>knowhow
They've been making watches independently for over a century now.
Glashütte Original (the watch you're using as an example of "knowhow") was founded in 1994.
>finishing or quality
Rolex is known to be very autistic about its QC. They also make pretty much everything in house, including their steel and gold, in order to have full control over their industrial process.

>>17959001
what's the point of owning a fucking shitter like this?
just stick to a quartz casio or apple watch if you cant afford a rolex.

Oh, I see. You think hand-assembled means hand-made.

It’ll be Richfags that win in the end, in this pathetic takeoff. I’m one of these Avatarfags with a lot of puff, I got dough, I got nerve. I piss off the poor because of my terrible wealth, my great big pair of balls (by god I’ll prove it to you), I wank, I post, I cum, I stain the thread with pure gold. The way I finish poorfags off, the way I make them seethe and cope, I’m going to walk around like a fucking queen, every time.

They want to kill me, even my imitators, through their envy, and evil poorfag ways, they want me to die by a thousand cockroach bites, from the venom of a multitude of awful, rogue asps. But the spirit of Wilsdorf will protect me; I’ve survived up till now.

Let’s not ramble on too much, just say what needs to be said and make sure everyone hears it. Richfagism first and foremost! Richfagism before anything else! Richfagism x 10! Richfagism x 1000! Supreme Richfagism! Only one class can post in /wt/! The Richfags!…perfectly adapted and made for here. The rest of them are just poorfags, seethers and cunts.

There are three groups of Richfags! The largest is the Rolexfags, the Langefags and the Patekfags: they’re all Richfags. That’s all, that’s it. That’s enough; it’s easy to hold on to them.

Poorfags have nothing to do in this thread. They should fuck off. They’re parasites who can’t assimilate, they’re ruinous and disastrous, in every regard, economically, morally, socially, and they’re like diseased flesh. They’re here to make us suffer. They’ve brought us nothing but suffering. It was the poorfags who ruined /g/ with their seething. They’re subjecting /fa/ to the same treatment. They’re going to make it impossible to post in our own thread. They only want to rob and enslave us, they always want more, everything, they’re gangrenous maniacs, infecting us with the most deadly diseases. That’s all they have to contribute. They’re a thousand times more dreadful than any BitterAnon in the world.

>>17959035

Stowa are made in china disguised as german.
No rumors, no speculation. This was exposed in a WUS thread where someone bought some taobao homos knockoff and it came with a stowa caseback. A legit stowa caseback.
Stowa owner basically fled the thread where this was brought up and never returned to the official stowa sub-board on wus and much butthurt has been had by those that spend thousands of euros of chinkshit.

>>17958241
NEW OC JUST DROPPED

>>17959133
Their case maker, Fricker, went out of business a couple years ago. Since then, all their business went to China.
Fricker also made cases (and in some instances whole watches) for Sinn, Tutima, Hanhart, Mühle, basically the entire German industry.

>>17959134

Saying something is special edition isn't an excuse to charge literally $20k more than it has any right to cost based on the rest of the market. A gold 3 hand watch on leather straps isn't worth $45k. Sometimes from the swiss granddaddies, but not feom the Wal-Mart of watch companies.
