I got in love with watches for their technical aspects but I find luxury watches a shitfest of stupidity, like all luxury items. And the market is basically shitters and luxury woth nothing that makes sense in-between.
Nobody cares what watch you're wearing.
If they care they are mentally troubled people or rich snobs.
Many brands you associate them with white ppl heroes like in OP are now mostly worn by asians and 75IQ saudis.

>>18040739
>The G-Shock before the G-Shock.
Found one in pretty good condition at a retirement community garage sale

Tried this thing for the first time recently and I can honestly say that it was the best 20 euros I have ever spent,
battery lasts for a long time, the resin is so comfortable that you can even sleep with it at night,
it has a bunch of different modes including interactive ones like games, in which if you mess up
it's going to make you jump on your bed up and down from the amount of pleasure that it gives you.
The vibrator is also nice...

>>18040793
>Many brands you associate them with white ppl heroes like in OP are now mostly worn by asians and 75IQ saudis.
What? Asians and Arabs love big fat gaudy watches.

>>18040793
Good post. What watches do you like, own, or seek?

>>18040588
>mfw the steel basculante sells around 9k now
IT WAS 3K NOT SO LONG AGO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>18040801
I am in a bit of horological existential crisis right now, as my previous post might suggest.
The only watches I dig right now are the Cartier Tank Louis and the JLC Reverso. Don't own them but I'd like to.

>>18040636
The strap looks kinda cheap and ugly

>I am in a bit of horological existential crisis right now

>>18040839
>the Cartier Tank Louis and the JLC Reverso
What do you think of the fusions between them?
I personally love them even more.

>>18040853
The watch that gay men wear to signify if they're active or passive.

It's funny to see everyone talking about Panerai all of a sudden, I tried some Panerai on and I'm unironically coming around to them. They're big and heavy but in a way that feels really good. Do they all have good lume?

>>18040861
The excellent lume is one of the classic features of Panerai. They invented it.

>They're big and heavy but in a way that feels really good
True, but you can also go for a 38 mm Due, even women wear them.

>>18040873
I was under the impression the Due is intended for women.

>>18040873
>retail value: 120k
>resale value: 3k

>>18040879
They kinda made it for women, but we all know 38 mm on a male wrist is average

>>18040853
I dig them

>>18040885
It's not just that, many of them also come with pretty pink and baby blue straps and sparkly indexes and shit, and the ads have that girly script for "due." If they make one that is just brushed and polished steel with a nice bracelet or black or brown strap, sure.

>>18040890
I see your point, but this one >>18040707 looks manly enough to me

>>18040895
I just looked that watch up on their website.
>30 meters water resistance
Even with that lever locking crown shit? Really? I'd have thought minimum 100m.

>>18040898
Yeah same. I was also shocked. But the explanation is they had to reduce water resistance to make the watch only 8 mm thick. At least they're honest about it. A lot of brands just declare the standard 100 m and it's not even true.

>>18040856
>>18040879
>>18040885
You should read Jung or something to realise how men obsessed with masculinity are the most queer of all.
I don't really believe in that psychoanalytic quackery but that's spot on. You can see how most far right wingers were rampant homosexuals.
The macho man really worships homosexual anal rape, consciously or not.

>>18040923
You're right, so?

>>18040923
What does that have to do with this obviously being intended to be a woman's watch? I don't think you have to be a self hating closeted gay chud to acknowledge that some jewelry is intended to be women while others are intended for men.

>>18040931
yeah that one is obviously. The "Luna" script with that typeface is more obvious than the pink strap. A rather horrible lady watch anyway.
I was not specifically talking about the due, just in general about faggots saying shit like "36mm is for women" etc.

>No, it isn't a girl's watch, you're just GAY
Alright, buddy, whatever you say.

>>18040948
lmaokek btfofam

This is an example of Grand Seiko's "high-quality" finishing.
>FUCKING LMAO

>>18040986
To be honest the main problem with Grand Seiko is how thick, ugly and awkward they look.

>>18040992
the main problem with Grand Shitko is that it is a Grand Shitko

>>18040992
The main problem with Grand Seiko is that it's called Grand Seiko and written with that stupid fucking font

Breil Manta Vintage is peak 80s aesthetics

Most of you shitlords don't even know what I'm talking about

>>18040992
Does anyone know the dimensions of the spring drive movement itself? They seem very reluctant to put it in a watch smaller than 40mm diameter and I wonder if it's because they believe their target audience likes bigger watches or because spring drive movements are relatively large.

Casio chads will be winning even if they die

>>18041030
Imagine wearing that Casio

WTF I love Seiko now

>>18041001
The name is stupid sure.
But the designs are horrendous to me. Pic related has "MAN CHILD" written all over it. Only a fat bearded millenial who watched Transformers as a kid can be attracted by that monstrosity.

>>18041035
You're right kek. It's a marketing operation for soiJewTubers after all.
>let's make Seikos but pretend they're somewhat luxury-tier lmao
Into the trash it goes, it's natural.

>>18041030
I don't know what the depth of the body was, but there's no reason to think a Rolex wouldn't still work. It probably wouldn't be actively ticking, obviously, unless the arm was somehow swaying in a current or something.

for me, it's g-shock... the BEST everyday watch.
it took me forever to get past the captcha btw, wtf is wrong with fa.

>>18041327
I guess you mean the Casio G-Shock GA-2100, the Casioak. I think the best way to get one is going after a hot sale in Amazon. I got mine at 64 ameribucks.

>>18041199

Still want this but it's a Seiko :(

Thinking about getting my first Rolex. I am shooting for the Datejust from the AD and have narrowed it down to these 4 two tones. Which dial should I go for?

for some reason I've grown to like my gshock over all my mechanicals.

>>18041411
I wanted
- solar recharging battery
- positive lcd display
- not too loud colors
so I kept it simple and went with the GAB2100-1A.
however, the choice is individual so you should just click around until you find one you really want.

>>18041425
The G-Shock is the quintessential "it just werks" watch

Two tone Rolexes have always been associated with lousy, shady used cars salesmen. I can understand why some people feel attracted by that whole aesthetic, but 99% of these watches are now worn by boring middle managers who wear these with slim fit navy suits. Cringe indeed.

>>18041562
>…and?
You wouldn't wear a pair of black oxfords with a hoodie and jeans. It's the same thing with watches. Two-tone Datejust can only work if you're a bit sleazy and dirty.
If you look like pic related (which I assume is 90% of what /wt/ posters look like), just wear an Aqua Terra or some other bland shit.

>>18041565

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't? I dont, but even if I did that's my perogative. If you have luxury watch money you don't have to give a single shit what anyone else thinks.

>>18041590
Watches are fashion accessories, and just like every fashion accessories they have to match your outfit and the overall aesthetic you're going for. That's something watchfags often forget, because most of them are fat autistic slobs who look like shit and never go outside.

Paneraichads are the typical owners of big boats in Porto Cervo and Monte Carlo, those people who eat fish in luxury beach restaurants and fuck their wives regularly until they're 70.

The watch looks stupid but I really like that new "sand gold" alloy AP has come up with.

>>18041649

>>18041597
>Watches are fashion accessories
No. They may be to you. But what they (specifically mechanical watches) are is cool mechanical trinkets that also have some use. Like a mechanical pencil or a combustion engine.

>>18041652
You can tell what decade a watch is from just by looking 2 seconds at it. That's obvious proof watches follow design trends, and are therefore fashion accessories.

>>18041649
>"sand gold"
Looks like something between white, pink and yellow gold. Lange has 'honey gold', Rolex has Everose...

>>18041659
I wasn't that far off.

>>18041661
Palladium for the grey, silvery 'steel' look, copper for a bit of pink mixed with yellow from gold gives 'sand'.

>>18041663
I would call it 'champagne gold', it's like a champagne dial, but with metal instead.

>>18041664

Zombie brand means the original company was dead and buried in the quartz crisis, until some investor bought the rights to the brand name and started producing clones or homages of the original watch line-up, all while claiming 'muh heritage'.
Most famous example is Invicta. Nivada Grenchen was also recently revived by I believe some young French investor who brought a few others back as well.

The Chinese also have a habit of buying German brand names and releasing their own watches under that name, eg. Ingersoll.

To be fair a lot of brands have been sold again and again over the decades, to a point where there's nothing of the original company in there anymore, such as Movado, Zodiac, Doxa, and I think even Zenith, but at least they've been consistently producing new watches.
Zombie brands were literally dead and non-existent until someone brought them back.

What do we think /wt/? I like it

Why do I never see used JLC in boutiques? Is it because not many people buy them or because most people that buy thrm never sell them?

>>18042069
There are millions of 90s and 00s Reverso in second hand boutiques that nobody will ever buy. Other models are hard to find, but JLC has always been a small brand. They're famous because of the Reverso and "muh watchmaker's watchmaker".

>>18042046
Hmm. I think the case is overall too sporty. I'd rather have 50m less water resistance and only 40 instead of 72 hours of power in exchange for a more compact case. Though I do like the dial and the double curved crystal.

Speaking of:
Did they fucking increase the water resistance of the cheaper 62MAS homages? Could've sworn it wasn't 300m before. Would've preferred they made them thinner though.

Only resin ones (technically >>18042193 is partially carbon fibre embedded in resin)
I'd like a metal one, but I need to find £400 for one or win the lottery to buy a £2500 titanium one

>>18042192
>buying a few from Japan
which one? getting a GW5000U-1?

Evening cunts, here's a picture of my new (old) shitter I recently picked up. What's everyone else wearing tonight?

>>18042226
GW-5000-1
DW-8201WC-7T
GW-6900
GW-9110
I also have a GWX-5700K-2 which is pretty cool

>>18042222
Nice. I have an AE-1200 right now that I use as a G-Shock (modded metal case, sapphire crystal, unscratchable, shockproof, water resistance improved) but I'm very tempted to get a GW-5610 just to find out if I like the look more. I'll have to get used to wearing resin again though.

>>18042230
cool. i'm a wristlet so i mostly stick to the thinner ones, 5600 and 2100. but maybe i should try a big gshock one day..

>>18042235
My first G-Shock was a GW-M5610-1ER I bought in University.
Radio Timekeeping was useful I was commuting on the train and essentially had railway time on my wrist
It was one of two watches I took with me when I lived abroad as a bit of a beater watch, and was subsequently the only watch I used when travelling anywhere.
It was never really my main watch until I started working in an aquarium, where I didn't mind it being submerged in salt water or inevitably whacking it in to rocks.
From that point onwards it got so much wrist time, it became the only thing I wore.
My life has changed so much over the eight years I've worn it. I've been on top of the world and at my lowest wearing it. I found out a friend died and found out my god-daughter was born wearing it. I've seen the world and explored my own mind.
Even with all the change, one thing that's stayed the same and always remained reliable is my G-Shock. As my life moves on, my baby brother is starting his adult life by joining the Army. I gave him my G-Shock because I know it will be reliable and a reminder of me as he goes on the adventures his new life takes him on.

>>18042237
I'm also a skelly, forgot to say I have a GW-9400J and it's probably too big
I think I've only a few times

>>18042126
They actually did make it a mm thinner and smaller. It's now 40mm in diameter and q3 in height. And yes they did increase the water resistance. Which is why I'm not super against the height it has because at this price point that is reasonable for an automatic watch. Not out yet though so maybe it's all bs? We'll see in summer.

>>18042151
But it looks like shit

>>18042287
Your face looks like shit.

>>18042294
Cuckquartz response

>>18042294
he’s not wrong. it’s look like a manchild threw a d brand skin on their manchild watch. these mods look like garbage sorry not sorry LMFAO

>>18042297
It's literally just a metal G-Shock, chud.

>American posting hours
>Casio
>G-Shock
>Seiko
>$10 vintage shitters bought on eBay

anyone know anything about these movements? I'm trying to figure out why they are so cheap, look at all that shock resist!

>>18040588
Is the Explorer just an OP with a a different dial and hands or are there specific differences under the hood that make it different? It's marketed as being tough so is that justified by technical enhancements over the OP or is it just marketing?

>>18042348
Same movement. Different face. Different clasp

Was this a limited edition? Looks pretty cool

>>18042363
Yes.
Blancpain is run by literal retarded jews who refuse to release a 1:1 non-limited reedition of the original Fifty Fathoms. Instead they make countless iterations of the ugly nu-Fifty Fathoms and the HORRENDOUS Bathyscaphe.
If you want to have a good laugh, check out the comments on their Instagram accounts. It's just hundreds of middle aged men begging the brand to make a non-retarded regular Fifty Fathoms just for once.

>>18042363
Nice swatch

>>18042363
<40mm vintage dive watches are sexy

>>18042369
You know what I hate? That so many people here and elsewhere shit on young white entrepreneurs who invest on dead companies only to produce old watches again while that is the absolute state of luxury brands.

>>18042376
Yes.

>>18042348
>>18042362
The nu-Explorer also has a 19mm bracelet, while the OP and the old Explorers have the 20mm bracelet.

>>18042363
That’s an original from the 60s.

>>18042380
The patina on this blue snowflake

>>18042381
This pisses me off, I don't understand why they did this.

>>18042526
It's so that now you have to choose between buying a bulbous bubble bezel OP to get good strap interchangeability, or an explorer for a good watch that's stuck on its bracelet.

>>18042324
Aren't these the 'hi-beat' ones, the 28,8k ones. Does it have a seconds hand?

>>18042526
>>18042556
How is that a problem? 19mm strap are easily available now.
Besides Rolexes look like shit on a strap.

>>18042609
Not the Explorer.

>>18042319
>80% of americans live paycheck to paycheck
What did you expect? They are fucked beyond belief.

>>18042609
It's a problem because people who like swapping straps have spent years building up boxes of 20mm straps that won't fit on the new explorer.

>>18042634
Most of that 80% could be living much more comfortably if they stopped smoking, cooked their own meals instead of ordering out, didn't spend years of their life and thousands of dollars earning worthless degrees that will never get them a job, and didn't start breeding in their teenage years.

>>18042650
That's an 8k watch, anon. I'm sure you can spend a few extra bucks on 19mm straps.

>>18042650
Yeah but that’s gay so who gives a fuck

>>18042653
That's not the point, the point is Rolex has no end of fuckery to pull on their customers and retards just go "oh, oh well" and just let it happen. They're so fucking autistic about their bracelets that they manufacture them so that you can't swap bracelets between them so even if you have the money to pay for another bracelet you physically cannot simply put a 20mm jubilee bracelet on a watch that takes a 20mm oyster bracelet. The explorer change is just another step in the direction of "fuck you, your watch is going to be exactly the way we tell you it's going to be and you're going to wear it that way because you're our bitch."

>>18042671
I actually think it's a based move from Rolex. If they allowed retards to swap bracelets, you'd see thousands of Explorer or Submariner on DJ jubilees with polished links (or even worse : Oysterflex).

>>18042391
I love it

This conversation about Lolexes and straps is lame

>>18042682
And nothing of value would be lost?

>>18042688
So is your tranny posting and casio antics, but you're still here.

Kofe Time,

No it isnt.

>>18042682
Explorer on a jubilee or president style bracelet would be fucking amazing and you know it.

Do we really need 5 watch threads?
Why do I get a 3 days ban every time I say NIGG*R but this kind of bullshit is allowed?

>>18042723
You could get an Explorer 1016 on jubillee back in the day.

>>18042731
Literally the perfect watch.

>>18042727
Be careful, if you question the actions of trannies you could be in a lot of trouble. Bwst to just stay quiet and let them do whatever they want.

>Literally the perfect watch.

>>18042731
Modern explorer is terrible compared to that old one, it has even drilled lugs.

>>18042734
You have shit-tier standards and abysmal ignorance of watch history.

>>18042737
It’s just his opinion, Bittercel. It doesn’t affect you.
Why not post your watch instead?

>>18042758
What does watch history have to do with that being a good looking comfortable watch?

>>18042763
The fact that there are hundreds of watches with that exact style that came before the Explorer and a lot of them, you'll find out, are better than the Explorer.

>>18042769
So then we agree that's a pretty good setup? Good. I don't know what your issue is or why you're phrasing your agreement as though it is an argument.

I regularly wear a watch that is basically the exact same thing, that's why I know it's good.

>>18042790
I don't get your point, maybe I'm retarded. You said it's "literally the perfect watch" and no, it literally isn't, given that even inside that particular style or category of watches there are better models.

>>18042799
Of course I'm not talking about that specific watch, it has a gap in the endlink you could drive a truck through. I'm talking about that idea of a 369 field watch on a 5 link bracelet. It's amazing and you don't see it enough, and Rolex actively runs interference on doing it by fucking with lug dimensions and spring bar holes to prevent it from happening on their watches.

>gshocks automatically set themselves for the time change
nice

>>18042893
Only if you keep the bluetooth active, which is something only ignorant soijaks do.

>>18042897
nope. my 5600 got the new time from atomic, and my 2100 got the new time with bluetooth deactivated from the 'DST: Auto' setting and having the correct date set

>>18042893
>daylight (((savings)))

>>18042907
kek, thanks anon for the info
you're an educated sir

>>18042893
I actually like that my watch stays behind for the time changes because I work at night and it makes it much easier for me to keep track of how many hours I've actually worked for the time change so i can keep track more clearly of how much time is left in my shift.

Daylight saving is pointless in the modern age anyway, hopefully they finally pass that bill ending its practice and this will be the last one.

Are you a hunter (ein Jäger) and you like chronographs? If so i have just the watch for you.

>>18043067
>case thickness: 15.5mm
Big ass NOPE

>>18043218
Show me a skinny hunter.

>>18043219
It's not even just being able to carry it or not, the question is why? The extra size and weight is there because of a bunch of complications that would be of absolutely no use on a hunt.
>full calendar
Fucking why? I can understand date, I can even understand day, but why month?
>moonphase
There are no words to describe how useless this complication is.
>chronograph
I guess you could use it to time your walk to your stand or your camp, how long it's been since you've seen an animal, maybe some other little things, but why? It has pointer date instead of a tachymeter, so it would make it harder to use for things like figuring out the distance of storms by the sound of thunder and things like that. So even if you wanted this there are watches that would do it way better.

This just seems like a weird rebranding of a dress watch chronograph movement.

>>18043223
>no use on a hunt.
Who said anything about hunting? Hunters don't hunt, they mostly eat and drink.

>>18043223
>>moonphase
>There are no words to describe how useless this complication is.

>he doesn't know about the effects the Moon has on our mind and body

>>18043226
You obviously have no clue about hunting and should probably just keep your cock polisher closed.

>>18041362
yes because that tiny screen is too small to even read the time, but nice porsche
