First

Are there any watches with a case diameter less than 36mm that are similar? I can stretch the budget to a maximum of 1.5k.

give me one good reason /wt/

>>17987426

Picking up my first grown-up watch this Thursday night, can't wait.

>>17987573
I don't believe you. Not that I don't think you could afford it, i just don't think you could actually find one at retail

>>17987576
I've been waiting 5 months and the apparently a few buyers ahead of me pulled out and settled for other models. I'll post a photo of it when I get home on Thursday

>>17987573
Chronographs are so busy looking that from 5ft away they look like the watches Indians buy at the mall. I always assume a chronograph is cheap garbage unless it’s being held close enough to my face to read the brand

>not the first post from this IP
yep, he's just samefagging

>>17987688
when you buy a nice seiko you need to budget an extra couple hundo to find non shitty straps because 90% of quality non custom straps are for even lug widths so you're never getting deals

>>17987695
Probably have to also budget for the cost of service to align the chapter ring and get the movement to be accurate.

>>17987644
It’s multiple people posting the list.

I’m the one who created the original list when someone asked for a rundown of common posters. You guys have revised it heavily.
It was never meant to be posted every thread.

>>17987704
Well usually vintage watches come with fresh serviced movement, at least in japan. My watch gets consistently +4/5 seconds per day.

>>17987706
No they don’t (not even in magical Japan)
That would cost too much.

If it’s running fine, they’ll leave it alone. They won’t give it a service.
If it’s running poorly, they’ll move the regulator arm until it’s fine. They’re definitely not going to give every old watch a full service. That simply wouldn’t be worth it.

>>17987643
how to access archives?

>>17987705
>It’s multiple people posting the list.
If only this was true..
It's literally bitteranon spamming it to every thread and evading all the bans he gets.

I am thinking about buying a classic watch from Citizen that will last me years.
I dress like normally, always button up shirt and jeans, I think a classic watch like this will suit me quite well.
It also is not very expensive. I am wearing a sportive Casio watch currently and it is not really me.
I am also looking for other watches in the same style as pic. Not too sure about the strap, what else should I consider?
Thoughts?

>>17987729
Well, what's your budgeto?

>>17987732
Oh sorry, forgot to say.
The watch I showed (Citizen Men's Strap) is about 170 pounds.
My budget is 120-250 pounds preferably but if the watch lasts for years my budget might be higher

>>17987722
>>/fa/thread/17987409

>>17987734
Well one of the first dressy watches that people recommend at this price range is always thr Orient Bambino. Check out the blue one.

Cope if you must

>>17987739
It checked out the Orient Bambino just now.
It is not too much my style as the Citizen Men's strap is. It does however show that there are nice watches within the price I am seeking.
Anything simillar to Orient Bambino (what makes it special?)

>>17987746
I am sorry I don't have much knowledge of watches at that price range. It [knowledge] stops there, at Orient and San Martin.
Have you looked at any vintage Citizen or King Seiko? But these are 500£

>>17987756
I am not into luxurious watches so I am not looking for anything that used to cost a lot.

Thank you for the advice mate

>>17987840
>>17987853
I agree that low and mid-tier watches should not do it but skeletonized dials from really serious brands are gorgeous. It makes a lot of sense when you get up to De Bethune/Greubel Forsey tier because a lot of what you're paying for is finishing, so why not show it off on the dial side.

>>17987547
I would like to search for that store but i am afraid of the things that may appear instead.

I love the black bay anon. Sadly they don't offer a date anymore on the normal models. I was so close to pull the trigger on a BB chrono but the 45 minute totaliser was a bit of a deal breaker for me because I need to add the time in my head when timing at work.

wearing a 36 and below is the equivalent of wearing those tiny round eggman glasses and thinking you’re cool
the “patrician” meme is cope, you think you have taste with your tiny ass watch but the only taste you have is the taste of cock in your faggot mouth

>>17988056
Call me crazy but I don't think Patek makes watches where the date wheel is misaligned. Not only that but the cyclops on the Sub looks way off.

What seiko should I get after this? I feel like this is the perfect diver from them

>>17988098
Well what's your budget?

>>17988103

And they dare say GS is a quality watch.

>>17988107
Is a seconds hand also misaligned when jumping between markers on a 4 hz watch?

>>17988056
I sometimes wish superclones didn't exist. because they do, I can no longer justify buying the genuine product.
So glad the only gen I bought was the Speedmaster, before I learned about reps. Turns out there are no good Speedmaster reps.

Anyway, undecided between patek calatrava and breguet classique for THE dress watch. sppedy and (fake) sub remain in competition for THE sports watch.

New simple, neutral, plain black MN-knockoff strap, so the watch body wouldn't sit as high on my wrist as with a NATO.

Also realized it was upside down, flipped it over since.

What are you wearing today, fren?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fm5tmIyAKc
The two sides of /wt/ right here

>>17988154
sub is close to 500, the breguet, calatrava and daydate are all around 300. daytona close to 800 due to the chronograph movement. the two expensive rolexes have clone movements.
I won't buy any more reps, but I am unsure if I will buy any gens either. very difficult to justify a gen sub at this point, with how good this fake is. seriously considering getting a calatrava, but can't decide on the reference and would feel silly paying 15k for a used watch. wish they hadn't discountinued the 5196. (any ideas if they will introduce a 6196 or are we stuck with the 6119 monstrosity?)
the rep world really makes one disillusioned about the whole industry. I don't regret my reps at all, they are fun toys.

>>17988154
It's from 1961, both are.

>>17988177

To be fair, the only people who say that are very sticky people. (e.g. Seiko fans)

It's too new to tell yet. As of now, it's at +-3 per month. But that gets worse over time I heard.

>>17988198
Of course not. When Whoretadello is banned, Seiko mentions ITT plummet.

It’s like how the Speedmaster is /wt/‘s favorite watch when OmegaDrunk is busy samefagging

>>17988198
owning let alone wearing a seiko is as reddit you can get

>>17988205
Speedmaster pro is my favorite watch any day of the week.

>>17988205
Funny, because I am a Seiko hater and I said many times how shitty their movements are and how they don't care about normal/entry seiko anymore.
Credor and GS are different.
Imagine toyota Completely giving up on Toyota and focusing only on Crown and Lexus. That's what Seiko does. And I am not a fan of that.

>>17988214
>Credor and GS are different.
This is the first time someone’s coping has actually made me laugh out loud.
Thank you for that.

>>17988214

Its still shit, there is no difference. Lexus forever will be Mercedes for retarded, just like grand soiko is Omega for retarded.

What if you sold All of them, would that get tou 5K?

>>17988219
So, just to clarify, any poster who does not like watches you like is bitter? Got it.

I really think you’d actually be more comfortable on your discord. You’re too emotionally fragile for this site.

>>17988214
Credit, GS, Seiko5, whatever are not at all different. They’re all made in the same factory.

>>17988200
I really like that watch

>>17988219
I spent less than half of that on all of them combined. Interestingly, I could sell them for more than what I paid, since the whole process of buying from China has its own risks. Also, eventually rep factories close down and if they were making a good rep, their products can become more valuable.
I am not considering selling them at this point, mostly because that would be illegal where I am, but maybe when I'm in a country with more relaxed laws, I could turn a profit on some of them.

>>17988208
but i own and wear a seiko

>>17988223
>"GS and Credor are better than Seiko"

>"hahaha cope!"

>"bitter"

>"soo uh basically--"

Yeah dude. I am extremely fragile. Anyway man, I don't want to fight over watches. Just enjoy the ride.
You don't like GS? That's fine. Just stop mentioning me every time you get the chance.

>>17988223
Avatarfags want attention but they can’t ever handle the slightest bit of banter or criticism.

how do you know if a watch is good?

Like what 'movements' are there and which ones are good? (is that how you tell?)

>>17988236
>Interestingly, I could sell them for more than what I paid
My point exactly, and by the way I think that this Breguet that I tried in japan was fake. Just saying.
But like you said, because super reps are getting harder to find, you can be upfront about it and still make a decent profit.

>>17988240
>Just stop mentioning me
You want to be anonymous? Then stop avatarfagging, dummy.

Just checked the archive. The 3 weeks I was gone, I was mentioned 86 times.

>>17988324
Bitterbros missed you. Without you they have no one but OmegaDrunk to seethe at.

Half those posts were joking about how you’d died in the earthquake.

kek.
I love all of you, I'm just tsundere.

>>17988333
What’s tsundere mean? I don’t speak weeb bitch.

>>17988333
You’re bipolar, is what you are. No wonder your wife left you.

>>17988334
No way you're on 4chan and don't know what tsundere means.
>>17988336
That's mean.

>>17988314
Hol' up, there's a citizen owners club?

>>17988333
I usually tend to say nice things about most watches. And I get why most are desirable and that taste is different. But I find this credor to be very unappealing. I can't pinpoint why though. The food looks nice and if YOU like the watch that's all that matters anon :)

>>17988348
Yes, but you have to buy a luxury timepiece like a stiletto to become part of this exclusive secret society that runs the world.

>>17988359
Speaking of which, has anyone ever seen anyone actually photographing their watch in a restaurant? If so, how did you keep from dying of laughter?

>>17988359
It's a thicc boy.

>>17988300
Either

Like example I've seen here: the Tissot prx is good quartz but bad mechanical

Is there a guide for watch newfags

>>17988362
BASED.
Saw pic related in Kanazawa. They wanted 2.5K for it. I said no.

>>17988372
Yeah this is a gimmick in the end. Ten times the price of a stiletto for like 1,5mm or so thinner watch. It is a feat of engineering and a milestone piece for sure, but for that price the chronomaster is an infinitely better choice.

>>17988375
it wore like nothing. It didn't feel nice, it didn't look nice, it didn't have anything that I like about watches. But like you said, you are paying for the engineering. It felt like you were wearing a credit card. Pretty sturdy though.

>>17988371
There is no one rule to tell it all, but here's some guidelines.

Quartz:
>Crystal frequency and rated accuracy
>Jeweled movement (hard to find accurate info)
>Powering type (solar, battery, kinetic(meme))
>Radio sync

Mechanical (low to mid end)
>Jewel count
>Rated accuracy
>Chronometer certification
>Has hacking feature
>Long power reserve
>Exhibition caseback (some attention paid into finishing)

Mechanical (higher end)
>Same as above +
>Movement finishing
>Swan neck regulator and/or pins on the balance wheel
>Blued screws and jewel setting (screws and gold "spacers")
>Plate patterning etc

Anybody own one of these? The look of these are fantastic and I wish seiko had other watches with similar case size.

I also find the only way you justify the movement is that it looks too good to care about it

>>17988384
Photo in question

>>17988388
The literal "we wuz kangz n shieeet" watch

>>17988388
Does it say 6r31? Did they seriously put a low end movement on a 1500€ watch?
I don't know man. Just don't support that shit.

>>17988098
Nothing cause that's all you need.

>>17988388
Just buy a Rolex. If you cannot currently afford a Rolex, take the money you would spend on a shidder and invest it instead.

>>17988394
the king seiko is such a betrayal, same as the nu-alpinist

>>17988120
My Rolexes are gen but I get your point. Here's my question about people like you: do people in your life really believe you've spent nearly $100K in watches?

I've got a really good job, a house, two cars, and many investments and I even think people would be sus if I started rolling around with a Patek. Not that I couldn't literally spend the $ on it because i have that in my savings account, just that it starts getting a little unrealistic that someone is walking around with 1/4 of their net worth on their wrist.

whats the best "tshirt and jeans" watch

>>17988404
this.

>>17988403
follow up poast, I know this retard that owns an obviously rep richard millie vanillie and the few people I know that are into watches all just laugh at the dude. It's totally unrealistic

Follow up question for everyone here, can someone post that image of the federal agents with the F91w casio?

>>17988406
im a federer fag so even if i had 84000 i wouldnt buy nadal

>>17988401
For the price of that, you can get 2-3 real king seikos.

>>17988410
well. one thing I will say about the nu-seikos is at least the WR is nothing to worry about. I have a lord marvel that I used to wear sometimes but since I got a current-spec GS with the new watch smell and everything, and lived with the effortless user experience, it's hard to go back. I used to think twice about using public washrooms because sometimes the water jets out and gets on your watch and you worry a little. whereas now I don't bother taking my GS off when I take a shower. so the nu-KS have that going for them at 10 bar, whatever else may be wrong with them that is really nice

>>17988410
Better still, for the low price of zero you can have no Kang Seikos and avoid the embarrassment of owning one in the first place.

>>17988380
They had to develop some custom alloy for the bezel to make it sturdy enough for daily wear. They also had to make it a top loader which I personally despise, and they developed a new cap for it with Panasonic, which makes it service center repair only.
I have seen some newer variants which are bottom loaders, I suppose they're marginally thicker, not sure.

I want to buy a rolex but my AD just won't give me an allocation. I don't know what to do, it's fucking whack. I've been visiting the AD regularly to try on watches, chatting and talking watches and chilling. I've brought the AD manager gifts. I've brought him out to dinner. I've brought him on vacations and I even sat in the cuck chair in the corner of the hotel room while he fucked my wife. What am I doing wrong, am I being too subtle? If I'm straightforward with him and tell him I'm doing this to get a watch allocation will that hurt his feelings?

>>17988433
you're coming on too strong, you need to just stop texting for a while, let him wonder, then text him again like nothing is wrong. lovebomb him, then ghost, then lovebomb again. every few cycles threaten to hurt yourself or make unreasonable demands before apologizing and sending flowers. trust me it works.

>>17988433
Think he wants to fuck you, instead of your wife.
Offer him your anus and you'll get your allocation.
I've been on the wait list for a Sub for a couple years now. Every time my AD blows a load in my ass I get lifted one position in the line. Can't wait to receive my call. In the meantime I've taken my AD on romantic dinners and a trip to Paris as well. A good relationship is paramount.

>>17988433
You need to be more subtle with your methods. Show up there, but never express a desire to purchase a watch, talk about AP, PP and Omega. Let him fuck your wife regularly and take him out to dinner regularly (with your wife present). When your AD relationship is mature enough, he will initiate the talks about purchasing a watch.

>>17988403
I actually happen to own close to 100k in gen watches that my father had bought during the short time he was into watches. they are mostly niche models from brands such as Ulysse Nardin and Corum etc. I am in the process of liquidating them with his blessing.
Nobody doubts my watches, as my background is quite influential. for example, we are family friends with the family who is the largest rolex ad in my region and my father bought a gen sub for the groom from them during my sister's wedding. he couldn't understand the rolex dance when they tried to explain to him and insisted on a discount. they "sold" it at %50 off, I suppose as a wedding present. this was maybe 2018? that's how you play and beat the game. so I suppose I should buy a gen sub as well, but just too much of a cheapstake to fork over the 10k or ask my parents to.
btw, just recently asked them for a daytona, they said "chances are low" so maybe things have changed for us too, idk.

>>17988449
Ah right gotcha well in that case, play on

>>17988154
I think $600 shipped.
Yeah I like it a lot, it’s coated titanium. Looks good with the bracelet or with the rubber strap like in the pic. Love the dial and the loom is fun too, two-tone.
RZE watches

>>17988419
which GS did you get?

>>17988482
Do they still sell that with the 6 date? I saw that once and it looked sick
How has the titanium held up

>>17988484
sbgx263

>>17988499
I am pretty sure that the renders on GS' website don't do it justice. Do you perhaps have a pic of the dial? Not necessarily macro.

>>17988501
if you're wondering about the black border around the date window it's not black. I worried about it too. it's just physically perfect so when the watch is perfectly facing your eye or the camera lens, the darkness stares back

if you like champagne you won't regret it

Anybody own or know much about Sangin? Almost all their stock disappears immediately and you can't even find what the price points on a lot of their models are. Quality stuff or vetbro grifting?

Was in the sauna today and saw a dude casually wearing a two tone jubilee datejust. And here you lot are worrying about walking through the rain with your watch on.

>>17988501
here, pls no dox

>>17987927
what citizen ref is that and do they sell them in NA?

>>17988518
don't worry m8. I won't doxx.

>>17988546
god damm, consider me mogged

>>17988546
Right, just like the people in your pictures whose faces you forgot to blur.

>>17988549
M8 my Credor costs exactly the same as your GS. Same price range, that's why I wanted to see a bit more if you had anything. Maybe I fucked up buying a Credor Quartz and not a 9F

>>17988518
>no dox
What? How would anyone do that?
That's a lovely watch anon.

>All sorts of crossed-out posts.
What did Whoretadello do to get banned again? I've only been away for about three hours.

>>17988388
apparently they're shit and a waste of money since the movement is sub-par. I recommend going for a cheap grand seiko or a shitizen instead.

>>17988528
the entire "the citizen" line is jdm only.

>>17988494
Titanium has held up great, the hardened coating seems to do its thing.
The newest version has the date with some nice looking dials. But the yellow is only available without a date. I prefer no date though

>>17988499

Tranny jannycels permabutthurt when someone gets laid. Also bitteranon probably keeps reporting his posts for spam/post filter evasion.

>>17988406
84K for a watch that looks like it's from the childrens section, grim

>>17988551
interesting, I didn't know they made any I could hope to afford. those blue hands are gorgeous

anyway it's apples and oranges in my opinion. my sbgx is a sports watch that could potentially be pressganged into larping as a quasi-dress watch if I can get around to getting a decent strap and buckle but pretty much the only time I wear a suit anymore is to funerals so I'm not sure that's ever going to happen

I am reuniting with the love of my life tomorrow and I need to pound her cake hard. What watch should I get as my GADA watch for the rest of my life?
Needs to be water resistant (spray / shower) and deal with some shock forces when I slap her ass. (No G-Shock please). Prefer steel case + bracelet and quartz.

Bitteranon? Garden variety troll. Probably doesn't even think twice once he leaves the thread.

I'd choose the grand seiko sbgx261 but only because I want one. they're also easier to get since "the citizen" watches are jdm

>have a 39mm explorer mk2

I could but I shouldn't buy practically the exact same watch

>>17988645
Do you get laid though?

>>17988645
I never understood why the never got them out of Japan. They are so autistic they think that there is no market for them outside their island, just like GS.

>>17988646
Sell the cucklex and get a Grand Seiko.

>>17988647
>Do you get laid though?
It's a Grand Seiko. Of course not.

>>17988651

Is this better than a hamilton expedition? Im thinking of selling my hamilton for this. Thoughts /wt/

Reddit hates Seiko though

new thread?

>>17988841
I definitely prefer it strongly, but I'd recommend you check it out on your wrist first if you can.

wtf i grew attached to my casioak and prefer wearing it over my gwm5610u now

>>17988841
Yes. But the Alpinist will be thicker and has twice the wr, just so you know.

>>17988841
Better how? I think the Hamilton is overall better but this has a nicer dial. It will be thicker too which idk why the alpinist a are all like 13mm

>>17988665
They make smaller 44GS' as well.

Are Swiss watches really that much better than Japanese watches? Why do they cost double the price of an equivalent Japanese watch? You can buy an automatic Japanese watch for the price of a quartz Swiss watch.

Is it just the brand effect, or do Swiss watches really have better materials, finishings, and everything to justify the cost?

>>17988902
They're not. Though it really depends on which two you're comparing specifically, then you can get into the weeds about how the two different movements or whatever compare.

>>17988902
No. Japanese watches, namely Grand Seiko, are as good as luxury Swiss brands, if not better. Personally I don't own any Japanese watches yet but I've tried on a half a dozen Grand Seikos. They're mind blowingly good especially for the price. The spring drive snowflake is on my short list of watches to get eventually.

>>17988927
>Japanese watches, namely Grand Seiko, are as good as luxury Swiss brands, if not better

Did they use a 7750 movement? Sure looks like it given the arrangement of the totalisers.
