>is leather good on a diver
It's not ideal, but there are some leathers that are impregnated with oil to make them waterproof and suitable for getting wet.

As long as you're very careful about how you dry the strap out, it's not the end of the world.

>>17985193
Some sharkskin, rayskin and sealskin straps are waterproof and are period correct choices to vintage divers. You can occasionally find NOS ones on ebay.

>>17985192

Today I will post my watch to the watch thread.

Hallo!

what watch is this

Elites wear nothing but BlancpaiN

give me one (1) good reason not to

What’s the best Japanese Cartier knock off made by seiko? Looking at the SARX051 but wondered if there was something without a date wheel on it?

>>17985186
is that supposed to be a sonar image?

>>17985313
>What’s the best knock off made by seiko?
This question captures the entirety of Soiko existence as a brand, a knock off maker LOL

>>17985247
Why?

20 years in the can, I wanted a green seamaster aqua terra. I compromised. I got a green datejust 41 instead.

>>17985313
If we're talking seiko, why not Credor then?

>>17985319
It's supposed to be pretty.

I miss him bros..

>>17984706
Are you really wearing the watch right at the wrist joint? Just work out your forearms and look up some wrist strengthening exercises

>>17985342
Toyota Century of watches. And just like why would anyone want a Century over a R&R, why would anyone want a Credor over Swiss high-luxury?

looking to buy something vintage for around $500-$800

should i get a king seiko or a poljot 3017?
which one will get more attention?

>>17985321
Why not?

>>17985252
Yes I will.

>>17985247

>>17985396
Doesn't seem like an apt comparison at all to be quite honest.

>>17985403
Get a non hi-beat KS.

What sites do you buy watches from? Besides direct the maker. I've used amazon for stuff like orient but feels like there must be some good watch specific places to be buying from for authenticity sake and such.

>>17985403
Skip the Strela and buy a new Seagull, they have almost the same movement (both 3017 and ST63 are basically license-built Venus movements).

Strelas are going to be all hopelessly beat.

or just accept that it's hilarious to see bitter anon sperg out when he is found out

>>17985403
KS, or get a Weekdater.

>>17985407
how rare are the non-hi beat ones from the 60s/70s? i feel like the vast majority i see listed are hi-beat, and i don't really know how much of a difference it would be considering the tech is seen as meh by modern standards, but was probably pretty cool by 1960 standards.
>>17985412
it's a space watch so that's what allures me to the strela, i think they're pretty cool and even if it doesn't have all of the stuff functioning, it's still a very cool thing to wear once or twice a week

Feels great to post in the new thread and while sitting on the toilet. I even started the chrono a couple of hours ago for you guys as well. I wish everyone a tight and happy sleep sooner or later, good night frens.

Ive got a batch of mead brewing too. I did it once before and turned out alright but not sure how to go about resweetening it after brewing is complete. I drank most of it as is but at the end i started mixing some honey with it after pouring into a glass and it was way better

>>17985772
You spelled it correctly. I'm impressed.

>>17985779
Man, in a way, I miss drinking.

When I turned 25 I went way too far down a /fit/ rabbit hole. I now know most of their "advice" was nonsense, but I still haven't had a drink in four years.

Smooth and oyster bracelet.

>>17985763
36mm, smooth bezel, Oyster bracelet, black dial, stick indices

both classic combos, suitable for any occasion. Maybe boring, but that's ok.

I honestly dont really like drinking but i dislike being sober because i hate life and its a pretty cheap (and acceptable) option and my good friends like to get drunk on saturdays so i do it with them usually

Haven't been in these threads in a long while
Why are they so shit now?

>Why are they so shit now?
They were shit when you were spamming your Anus too.

>>17985871
Why did you get a new version of the same watch? How does the bluetooth work on these, you get like notifications or health data or something?

>>17985873
that's true kek.
>spamming
I was posting whenever I acquired a new watch

Whats seiko’s best dress watch option?

>>17985875
I currently own 4 of the left and two of the right.
The bluetooth is just a multiband alternative

>>17985868
I'm the opposite.
Once I stopped drinking it was like a dark cloud lifted from my life. I thought I was depressed, turns out it was just always hungover. I sleep better. I have more energy. My skin is better. Sex is better.

I still hang out with my drinking friends (they need someone to drive them home and make sure they don't forget their phones at the bar) but I do so many more interesting and fun things with my non-drinking friends.

>>17985871
Too many bitter anons, not enough watch frens posting watches >>17985873

Birth year watches is a meme for gen-x-ers, millennials are completely fucked.

1988 was hell year for horology, wtf am I supposed to pick up from that? A quartz TAG?

>>17985871
>Why are they so shit now?
You just posted pictures of watches.
We have a new generation of avatarfags who use this general to blog about their lives.

See >>17985179 for a basic rundown.

>1988 was hell year for horology, wtf am I supposed to pick up from that? A quartz TAG?
Patek was still in business that year.

>>17985888
Anything interesting, or just the same meh across the catalog?

Even the Oysterquartz is kinda meh, so might as well get one of the last 5513's.

I'm jealous. I also smoke weed daily but i've gone completely sober for months and its never better, so why bother being sober. At least thing go by faster with substances

>>17985887
>you'll be christened BitterAnon.
Fortunately, that term has now been overused to the point that it's lost all meaning.

Sure, there's the Breitling owner and the F91 tranny. "Famous" BitterAnons, but the term basically just means you're not an avatarfag.

>>17985895
depends on what you want? A classic dress watch? Easy. A complication? That's a little harder since the industry was still coming around to making those again, though they are available.

If you want something that is interesting and undeniably 80s, something like the Vacheron 333 (picrel) is an option. I'm not saying it's the best option, but it's another avenue to pursue.

There's also independent makers like Daniel Roth who were making shit in 1988.

>>17985905
Same as posting your watch makes you an avatarfag. Funny times we are living in.

>>17985914
>Same as posting your watch makes you an avatarfag.
Bullshit, plenty of anons post their watches. There's only a small number that treat this general as their personal blog.
>Here's a watch picture, along with a post about how lonely I am after my wife left me.

I will concede that the fear of being lumped in with the avatarfags has probably kept people from posting their watches, especially if they're distinctive.

>>17985880
Thanks for posting that, anon. Had a bit of a relapse and am crawling back to 'normality' at the moment. Really, thank you.

>>17985916

>>17985924
Which one, though? The fatso, the drunk, the tranny, or the Finn?

Why are all of you so seemingly angry all the time? what is your problem

>>17985909
Horrid, unfortunately.

>>17985939
Yeah. I guessed as much. But it is a late 80s watch. Another option would be something like picrel, which doesn't scream 80s (if anything, it screams 50s) but it is from 1988.

>>17985877
Dolce

>>17985944
Also kind of bad design-wise.

Early to mid 70's was kino. After that watches just appear kinda flimsy, mostly because they became quartz, or just plain manual wind instead of automatic, and they went to flat mineral crystals instead of domed acrylic, so all of them are too thin.

>>17985950
Man these vertical brushed/linen dials are so nice.

>>17985936
It's not just here, it's everywhere by now. One of the reasons that I want to leave the western world.

>>17985950
>and they went to flat mineral crystals instead of domed acrylic,
The cheap shit brands went to mineral crystal (tempered glass) but the good brands skipped straight to sapphire.

>>17985950
>a patek perpetual calendar is bad, design-wise
Looks like we've bagged ourselves a tastelet, boys. Let's see how she struggles in the net.

Taking bets on how many posts she samefags. Over/under 10?

Heading to Hong Kong in a week. Does anyone know the Rolex situation there? Hows the vintage rolex selection there? I am afraid of buying franken watches.

How is your sunday gentleman?

Question for the people who bought things overseas. What happens if you 'forgot' to declare something and then you get caught. Can you still declare it without some sort of Arnie level fine?

>>17985969
Their ADs have a lot of stock. It's a huge city for Rolex buyers.
Vintage? Lots of Polexes, Prolexes, and a smattering of Roleckses. Some of them might not turn your wrist green.

>>17985981
You won't get caught.

If you desperately want to have all the boxes, mail them to yourself. Or you can just keep the papers and chuck the boxes.
>B-but muh resale value!
If you walk through customs with your new watch on your wrist, literally no one can tell.

No one fucking cares.

>>17985981
Just chuck the box and papers in your checked luggage and walk through customs with the watch on your wrist under the cuff. Never got stopped before.

>>17985982
Do they sell to foreigners though? I'm just looking for a simple 36mm datejust fluted jubilee.

>>17985986
>Do they sell to foreigners though?
Of course. That's part of their business.

There's legions of wealthy Thais and Filipinos who fly up to Hong Kong for shopping trips.

>>17985985
>>17985983
A Rolex box is worth a lot of money though. Still less than the declared value if 2% duty fee is the going rate.

>>17985969
That’s where I bought my rolex. I contacted the seller over Chrono24, he gave me the address of his shop which was a tiny closet sized place in Quarry Bay.

He let me inspect it, I could obv tell that the box was legit but not for that model, but I didn’t care. Ended up getting the watch for about $900 cheaper than I would have in the US, which is not at all bad considering.

>>17985982
I'm heading to Singapore(visit family/vacation), looking into a Rootbeer. All of the other GMT feels meh to me, the only color that gets my dick hard is the black/green and those retards decided to put the date/crown in the wrong place.

What are the best alternative dials for the datejust?

Personally I think the motif looks really nice

Is there a waitlist for any omega models or can I usually just walk in and buy something

>>17986009
>a waitlist for any omega models

...nah, you're good.

>>17986009
Most of them are available, which one are you looking for? The vanilla moonwatch is always available in both hesalite and sapphire. I prefer the sapphire TBQH.

>>17986013

>>17986130
on amazog they say you cant move the gmt arrow and you have to rotate the bezel to get other time zones, but that sounds retarded?

>>17986066
Rotate the bezel for the gmt hand. It's slaved to the other hands

>>17986141
why even have the gmt hand at that point? why not just rotate the bezel and like on a normal dive watch?

>>17986143
>brainlet

it's still moves on a 24h track just move the bezel to the correct timezone

>>17986152
yeah but if it's locked to the hour hand what is the point

>>17986138
Really? That's pretty retarded. The GMT hand should be setable for the second Timezone, the bazle should be the third Timezone. At least th6ats for normal watches where you can set the GMT hand.

This poodle grew on me.

Imagine going through the pain of making a central minute counter only to then put in a useless 24 hour subdial. A moonphase would be nice.

>>17986366
I've never understood the function of the 24h subdial. With an automatic or manual wind movement I guess it's nice that you see whether it's AM or PM when it's stopped and you're about to wind it.

>>17986368
To me it's the most pointless of complications. They like to stick it on chronographs for some reason.

it is a useless fucking complication that is barely even able to be called a complication, since it's probably just a single gear added, direct slave to the hour hand
the slave gmt hand on that vostok that those morons were arguing about couple hrs before is literally the same complication, just central and not a subdial
>chronos
only on quartz chronos basically, since they want to look like "muh daytona" or some other gay chrono, but they don't have the complications to fill in all subdials
>>17986361

>>17986409
metal bracelet != """metal""" """bracelet""""
that one will have rolled beer cans instead of solid links, so I can imagine it would be quite the handheld lawnmower
presumably not as bad as it used to be years and years ago, but you can only polish a turd so much
logically, you'd buy it and try it out for a week or so, return it if it's dogshit, but alternatively, just get something halfway decent for just a little bit more, chinks give you full solid bracelets for peanuts, and you probably only want it for the faggy pastel color, which won't be too hard to find from the chinks
OR don't wear it on bracelet if it's shit, but that particular one has hidden lugs and who the fuck knows what retarded lug variant they decided to use on this piece of shit like casio is more than eager to do (most of their digitals have retarded lugs forcing you to use the stock variant or use some shitty 3d printed lug adapter)

>>17986574
Smell will almost never go out. If you wear a leather strap every day you basically need to buy a new one every now and then, especially if you wear it in hot weather.

>>17986361
Very nice but I believe it's out of production? Sinn makes great watches in my opinion not only the 144, the 103 is nice as well. Also the dive watches with the Lego hands look pretty sick, the U50.

Anyway here's another pic of my 144 and some facts about it. It uses the "new" concepto movement in TOP quality, produce in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It's basically a 7750 but has a different regulator. It also has way less vibrations when the rotor is free spinning. Runs at around +2s a day very consistent. Non screwed down pushers and 20 bar water resistant make this watch basically a daily beater. I use the chrono function daily at work. Overall a very nice watch.
The price is fine I guess, it could be a bit cheaper but it's alright for what you get in my opinion.
Thanks for reading and good afternoon anons.

>>17986601
Dunno, are we?

Yoooo any fags around that had to choose between a Tudor and vintage (poop) rolex? 4/5k budget

It is truly a perplexing conundrum.

>>17986641
>4/5k budget
buy a pistol and kill myself if these are the options that I was left with in my life

>>17986641
Just get a job lol?

>>17986641
Unless the Rolex is complete garbage, go for the Rolex. Avoid possible frankens, over stretched or missing bracelets, etc. Even if it needs a little work, any competent watchmaker can bring it up to spec.

If it's not an insanely rare or old piece (i.e. if it's just a regular DJ) you could also give it to Rolex and they'll make it look and work like a brand new watch.

>>17986648
Thanks, yeah there's some pretty beat to shit ones out there. I cannot in good conscience justify more on wrist candy. That's CAR money

I cant even begin to comprehend why someone would go for a datejust when the daydate market price is so close nowadays.

>>17986681
why would you want a crusty old beaten to shit daydate with a rattly bracelet

>>17986641
For a little bit more than that you can get an Explorer or OP 36 new from an AD, and you can find those and Datejusts used for around that price. If I were you I’d get a datejust, they are forever

>>17986681
They’re not remotely close in price. I love my dj but I’d trade it for a dd in a second

Thoughts on this Nomos Siemens edition?

A little background: It's a Homos that doesn't actually say Homos on the dial, because it's gifted to Siemens employees for their 40 years of service. They usually go 30% less expensive than other Homos because they are engraved with the name of the employee, while also being never worn.

Is the Citizen Promaster Tough the ultimate GADA watch?
-titanium with scratch resistant coating
-300M water resistance
-anti-magnetic
-eco-drive
-good case size (40mm x11mm x 46mm)
-AR coated sapphire

The only downsides are it’s kinda ugly and kinda expensive ($470). Talk me out of it

>>17986754
It's a nice everyday watch. You can also probably get at least 20% off the MSRP at an authorised dealer, so the price isn't actually too bad..

>>17986754
Too ugly

Below meets the meaningful parts of that criteria while being handsome

>>17986681

>Green dial white gold daydate is $40-45k

The railroad track makes it look better than the regular ones. Pretty cool.

>>17986754
>it’s kinda ugly
If you don't like the look there's no point in getting it. Even more so if you buy it to wear it regularly.

I need /wt/'s help. It's my birthday soon and I have the choice of getting either an omega seamaster diver 300m, the one with the white face and black bezel. The Tudor GMT with the opaline dial. Or a secondhand speedmaster moonwatch professional (did you know this was the first watch worn on the moon?!). Please help I cannot decide.

hello

>>17986783
Get Blancpain LOL

>>17986787
Tell me more, never really looked much into them. I'm quite set on one of these three but I will take a look regardless. Any models in particular you'd recommend?

>>17986783
Co-axial is a retarded pseudo-innovation and Tudor is a copewatch. You can only pick wrong here buddy.

>>17986788
My memory bad but if I recall it correctly Blancpain created the first diver in the world - Fifty Fathoms, their watches look nice and ultra evil people like to wear them >>17985298
>>17986350
, also BlancPain translates as White bread

>>17986797
Then what meets your standards o' wise one?

>>17986783
Tudor is chonk but so is the Seamaster. Speeddy is meh so go with the Seamaster.

>>17986801
Just googled, that literally looks like an inbred amalgamation of a Seiko and a planet ocean. Got anything better to recommend?

>>17986807
I tried them on today and I don't mind the chunkiness, I'm used to a 3cm thick G shock so it feels like a nice step back into civilization. Thinking you're probably right, the seamaster is currently at the top of the list.

>>17986808
>Got anything better to recommend?
If it was enough for Vladi and Soros then it is enough for me

>>17986771
That’s a very good point thank you, I was blinded by the specs

>>17986802
Vintage speedy with a real caliber for example

>>17986818
Nigger who decides what watch to buy based on whether or not Vladi wears it or not.

>>17986822
What do you mean by real calibre? The 1861 and not 3861?

>>17986828
Yes.

>>17986783
Do you need the GMT complication? Tudor makes great watches in my opinion. The seamster is nice but the coax is binding you to omega service, which is fine I guess. The speed master only has a low water resistance which would be no go for me personally.

>>17986833
based

>>17986835
Admittedly no the GMT will be completely wasted on me, but I just think it's such a beautiful watch. I was also debating on the pelagos 39 but didn't like the weight. Considering the regular pelagos but it sits very high and I don't think is dressy enough to wear with a suit. Omega say on their new models you don't need to get it serviced for almost 10 years so I'm not too worried about servicing although is a bit of a ballache. Water resistance doesn't really bother me, I've had my G shock for years now and can't recall a single time I've ever gone swimming with it on.

Citizen Eco-Drive on the wrist today. What are you wearing, frens?

>Citizen Eco-Drive on the wrist today. What are you wearing, frens?

>>17986847

>>17986840
So just try out each one at a boutique and pick the one you like the most. Seems like you are open to all of them.

>>17986863
I did today that's the trouble. I still can't decide. I'm close to writing off the speedy just cuz I'd rather buy new if possible and it doesn't have a date complication. But deciding between the seamaster or Tudor GMT I'm finding impossible, they are both stunning and feel amazing in person. I don't have any complaints about either.

>>17986754
I believe they have multiple variants of this watch, you might like some of the older versions.

I like the little picture of a deep sea diver but the comically oversized crown on a chain is naff

>>17986681
The day on a dd is ugly and I always thought any watch with a fully written out day name at 12 was ugly.

>>17986920
The pic is from the future in October this year.

Glashutte seems super underrated. This thing costs slightly more than a new datejust.

>>17986889
mallshitter

>>17986928
And this costs 10 times less than it lmfao.

>>17986930
oh wow thanks i love japan and japanese people

>>17986928
Their problems are that
1. most of them are comically oversized (the one in your picture is 44mm)
2. they are extremely cheap second hand or grey market
3. a significant portion of people "in the know" see them as a Lange cope

>>17986928
>>17986938
Pretty watch but as always ALS does it better and in a more reasonable size.

Perpetual calendars, new, are often in the range of tens of thousands of dollars.

Why shouldn't I just get a used one for $6k or less that's used and in decent condition over say, a basic bitch Omega Speedmaster or Rolex OP.

>>17986946
there's no reason you shouldn't, vintage watches are cool

>>17986946
You can with some caveats. You need to figure out how annoying it is to set because older perpetuals are often a massive pain. You need to get the service history and make sure the manufacturer will still service the watch because an independent will likely have no clue. You need to get an idea of how much they'll charge for service because it is probably significant.

>>17986946
You'll end up coughing up another few thousand to service it lol

Is the Oris Aquis /wt/ approved?

>>17986992
MOGS lolex

>>17986992
lol

>>17986992
You at least get my approval
>>17986930
And it looks 10 times worse, the movement is worse 10 times and this is all just some poorfag cope lmao

>>17986992
If I bought an Oris it would be a big crown pointer date. They actually surprised me how good they look in person. Most of their other watches look kinda cringe. They're one of many watch brands that came up with one really good watch years ago that carries them to this day despite everything else in their lineup weighing them down like bricks.

>>17986928
More like GlaSHITTER

watches

>>17986946
If cost is an object, you won't like the maintenance costs. Hence why you can buy one for cheap.
Looks great though. Their modern take is high on my lottery list, even without a perpetual calendar.

>>17986992
Mallshitter perpetually on sale but still manages to be overpriced. Sorta impressive really.

>>17985279
thats a japanese quartz watch, the brand is 'swanson'.

>>17986992
I'm not a fan of changing straps on a dive watch, but the presence of an integrated bracelet on it irks me.
If I had to buy a submariner cope in this budget, I'd get a Seiko SPB383. Such a good case design.

>The first has a texture that almost looks like sailcloth, but believe it or not, it is actually braided leather. A skilled artisan weaves thin strips of leather by hand using a traditional Japanese technique called yoroiori (鎧織). This literally translates to “armor weave,” and it was used hundreds of years ago to give strength to samurai armor.

>>17987030
And these efforts to make it look cheap. This is truly peak japanese design.

>>17987027
Frankly I'd rather have a Seiko that doesn't look like a Sub. (Although I'd argue the one you posted mostly just does so in color and not so much otherwise)

>>17987030
They should use more gold in their watches. This looks great.

>>17987054
>TEXTURE = GOOD

>>17987055
Good thing it's not either/or.
The main point is, there are much better alternatives to the Oris Aquis.

Anons. I prostrate myself before you. Rate me.

>>17987081
Sell it all and buy a Rolex, now. You are going down a dark path.

>>17987081
not a fan of that long jeans and that orient (steel case / large white dial / gold hands+indices). but if thats what floats your boat, go for it.

>>17987081
I like the long jeans. old seamasters always strike me as poverty cope "I couldn't afford a real omega". orient star is kinda cool in a neckbeardy don't give a fuck kind of way. like the kind of watch you'd see on a fat D&D fan with a hentai t shirt

>>17987096
>Buying Rolex
Right because Im a bugman who thinks Rolex comes with status. GOTTA CONSUUUUM!!!

>>17987101
I bought it when I was 24 so you're not wrong. I couldn't afford a deville :(

I take my /fa/ inspo from fat hentai shirt dnd nerds tho.

Disregard wenches. Acquire watches.

>>17987104
As a former rolex owner I'm with you, the number of people I know who bought a rolex before their first home (including me) blows my mind. Looking back it's a cult built off insane amounts of propaganda and debeers-tier brainwashing. I'm kind of embarrassed that I ever had one and every time my brother brings it up (knowing it pisses me off) I physically cringe

>>17987109
>>17987104

>>17987109
At least they hold their value anon. Take solace in that. :(

>>17987107

>>17987109
>I'm kind of embarrassed that I ever had one and every time my brother brings it up (knowing it pisses me off) I physically cringe

This sort of thing is just as autistic as rolex AD dicksucking behavior btw

I can think of plenty of times where I'd rather buy a rolex than open up a new mortgage on a house (right now being one of those times)

It's a piece of jewelry, if you have the money and want to buy it just buy it, there's no reason to get so emotionally damaged over it

>>17987124
Anon, if you don't own a home worth at least $750k, don't own a car worth at least $100k, and bring home $250k a year MINIMUM then you cannot buy a Rolex. Rolex is for the top 1% and no one else. It's really that simple.

>>17987124
You're never going to see sub-3% rates again, ever. If you think you're going to get downsized or sorry "resource actioned" or "become part of the graduating class of '24" or whatever they're calling it now, then that's another story

>>17987124
But anon realestate matures in value way more than a piece of metal. With the returns on your investment in land you could buy... two maybe even three pieces of jewelry!

You have a really precise taste.
As someone who has an excel chart of all the potential watches i could buy based on precise criterias, i like that.

What would a watch with a pure rhodium case, movement, dial, hands and coated crystal look like?

Someone needs to make a watch that works on magnets.

>>17987142
Thank you anon.

tell me why I shouldn't buy a junghan maxbill right now

>>17987148
It's midnight in Germany right now so nobody would be able to take your order. Which one did you have in mind?

Post gray watches.

>>17987142
Is this you?

>>17987109
You have to admit they make some pretty decent watches though.

>>17987151
I was thinking the max bill chronograph but I like sweeping second hands and I hate having to click the chronograph button for it to tick, so I'd get a bog standard automatic with sapphire.

>>17987162
That's certainly a gay watch, anon.

Good for nothing thread, i'm going to sleep-

>>17987167
not really. I mean they had better make absolutely fucking amazing watches for the cult surrounding them but they're basically adequate enough that a reasonable attorney general wouldn't charge them with fraud or racketeering

>>17987162
