Remember to NEVER buy any watches from these brands made after:
>Baume&Mercier: 1993
>Piaget: 1993
>Cartier: 1993
>Vacheron Constantin: 1996
>Panerai: 1997
>Jaeger Lecoultre: 2000
>IWC: 2000

>be me
>buy a Rolex
>show it to my dad
>he now wants a Submariner
That’s the power of Rolex bros.

>>18072472
That's the other way around for me. My old man has been flexing a beaten up Datejust all his life. First thing I did when I made a bit of money on my own was to buy my own Rolex.

What's the point of having a 1/6th of a second scale on the dial?
It doesn't even have a central second hand, so why even do that? Serves no purpose.

>>18072533
It's one fifth, and it's obviously for the minutes not seconds.

>>18072533
Dress watches should always have a small second, retard.
Central second hands are for sport watches.

>>18072551
That watch has full numerals so it doesn't look very dressy either lol

>>18072482
Same for me.
Well, my dad isn't trying to flex or anything. It was just a normal watch when he bought it. As far as I know, it's the only watch he's ever owned.

>>18072555
Stop embarrassing yourself.

>>18072472
Must be weird to have non-toxic parents.
My father would look at the watch and say nothing, check the price, then talk about how much it cost everytime he sees me, until i sell the watch or can't enjoy it anymore.

>>18072565
Your dad is bittercel? New lore just dropped

>>18072567
No, unlike bittercel, he can afford Rolexes, kek.

>>18072569
Also unlike bittercel, he's had sex.

>>18072542
>>18072551
The anon you're quoting is right. That scale is indeed retarded.
It's clearly designed for a 2,5Hz movement
>2,5Hz = 18000 vph
>18000 vph / 60 = 300 ticks per minute
It would make sense for a central second hand or for a chronograph with a 2,5Hz movement. Definitely not for a watch with a small second. That scale is of no use.

>>18072574
>That scale is of no use.
Design.

>>18072581
If anything, it shows poor knowledge of watchmaking.

>>18072533
what are their movements? i'm leery of what lurks behind a decent looking dial on micro brands

>>18072628
That one has a Hangzhou micro-rotor movement.
Other models: Seagull or Miyota.

Will a lot of watches be announced at watches & wonders? Should I stop all watch purchasing until it's over.

>>18072722
Every major brands (except the ones from Swatch Group) will announce new watches. Most won't be available immediately though.

>>18072722
>Will a lot of watches be announced at watches & wonders? Should I stop all watch purchasing until it's over.

There's usually a lot announced. Some years are more interesting than others. Whole new model families are not announced as often as small, limited editions or same-watch-new-dial-color versions.

As for how it affects your purchasing, that's kind of a luck of the draw thing unless you have advance knowledge. Say you want to buy a model XYZ for yourself...but during W&W the company announces the new XYZ that's so much better than the old one. Prices for the old one will crater and you'll either get the old one for cheap or pat yourself on the back for waiting so you could buy the new one.
But conversely, if the new one is garbage then there will be a scramble for the old ones before they're gone and you'll kick yourself for not having gotten one a week ago when it was cheaper.

>>18072722
All the watches and all the wonders.

>>18072722
I'm guessing we're going to see more down-sized models coming out this year as the last bits of the oversized-watch trend die off.

Doxa has already announced a new SUB 200T at 39mm x 41mm x 11mm. That's pretty compact.

I'd like to see them bring this back, and also to make the numerals on the bezel smaller/narrower.

Why aren't all black watches (especially black bracelet, steel/metal/titanium wtv) more talked about amongst you guys? I see people talking about the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Panda all the time but no one pays attention to the all black SSC917, beautiful beautiful all black chronograph watch.

Is a black bracelet a bad thing (not talking about rubber/leather straps, I'm talking about metal ones)

They don't anymore. It was discontinued years ago.

>AP Royal Croak BTFO

>>18073049
alrighty then we can delete the Ballon Bleu instead

>>18073051
Righty-o.

I... Kind of like it? It just needs a different bracelet I guess.

>>18073028
Uh that's a weird thing to say. It's not like you get a Rolex, a Cartier and then you need to get a Patek. Especially modern Patek which in my opinion is boomer trash.
Also I don't want to sound like a dick but these are entry level watches (I have an Explorer too btw), there are dozens of watches from these brands that are far more high-end. Or other brands.
If you want something different, look at vintage watches from the major brands. I've recently bought a 1960s weird looking Vacheron that I can't stop wearing. Absolutely love it.
Or micro-brands. Or complications. Or dress watches. Or whatever makes you smile. These days I'm unironically looking at Panerai and Breitling.

>>18073061
>Also I don't want to sound like a dick but these are entry level watches
I was thinking the same thing. He could easily upgrade and not change brands at all.
Some people describe their collections simply by the watches' brand names.

I miss him bros..

What is actually wrong with the speedmaster reduced? A lot of people say they suck but they seem to have much more desirable dimensions. And automatic winding, obviously.

>>18073073
Disposable Swatch plastic movement.

>>18073073
>What is actually wrong with the speedmaster reduced?
Nothing really, aside from the fact that it's not the ""real"" Speedmaster. Speedmaster fans are some of the most insufferable people in the watch world.

But, no, it's a fine watch with good sizes and a reliable movement+chrono module.
If I had to nitpick, I think the subdials are placed a little too far outboard, but that's a very minor thing.

>>18073061
>These days I'm unironically looking at Panerai and Breitling.
Late 90s to mid 2010s Panerais are neat. The 8 days Angelus movements and the linear power reserve indicator models are cool.
Breitling has some nice stuff if you go vintage too.
Just don't get either of these brands new.

>>18073073
Reputation, mostly. I like the size a lot more than the Professional, but I’ve been psyoped by the internet here. “I like this watch more than that watch and it’s half the price, but for some reason I think the one I like is fucking gay”

>>18073080
>Speedmaster fans are some of the most insufferable people in the watch world.
Fans are right to be nitpicky. Omegaswatch has an history of butchering their classic iconic models.

I would like Piaget to be reborn

Small second = small peepee

>>18073077
You're not even talking about the same watch.

>>18073099
They're owned by Shitemont, so that means more 44mm stainless steel sports watches.

Thoughts?

>>18073028
>>18073061
The truth is that Rolex's entry-level watches are the most beautiful in its current catalogue

>>18072868
True bliss is when you reach the point when you feel like you're wearing a watch even after you've taken it off.

>>18073073
I haven't handled a nee one but a lot of the used ones I handled were pretty nasty, like they had bracelets that fit to the case so sloppily it was as if it came from a different watch. I don't know if they all end up like that or how they get that way but I've seen a few examples of this.

Axiom

>>18073153
Eh. Maybe, but buying a used one won't work. You have to get it brand new from your AD.
Nowadays the quintessential "I made it watch" is unironically a Richard Mille. Hate the brand all you want, they are what people associate with success and wealth nowadays, even more than Patek or AP.

The Reduced is a toy at best. It's a good watch for your girlfriend, good size, good look, and she won't give a fuck about its faults. Just tell her to take it off before washing hands.

But no self respecting man should wear it, it's a joke.

The quality is actually much, much better than older Nomoses. The bracelet is very good. It's a well-made watch that's still quite thin and has good water resistance. The Neomatik movement has proven to be durable and accurate.

Today I’m wearing a Chopard MM Ti.
I like chronos, I invent dumb exuses to use them.
I like Swiss watches, specially the kind a indies.

I have a couple of watches, my favorite for personal reasons is an old Tudor oyster case.
I don’t like tag, I think it has became a fag poder brand. I own a 44 f1 and I hate it.
The one I have used the most is a breitling auto colt date. My most expensive is an Ulyssse Nardin Maxi. I’m not a fancy man, but I like watches.

>>18073362
For starters, I personally like the Air-King. I wouldn't wear it, but I appreciate it's quirkiness and it's better than another boring watch from a typically boring company like Rolex.

But at the same time, I think people need to be a little less sensitive. If you're posting your watch here, you should expect to get a little banter. That's the fun of 4chan, isn't it? Immediately responding with naked hostility makes the place less fun.

>inb4 Y-yeah, but they weren't funny either
Being able to handle a little banter is the hallmark of a man. Nowhere does it say that it has to be good quality banter.

Holy shit....is that you, ShitterAnon?

>How long should I expect to wait for something like this?
A couple weeks, tops. Depending on the size of your AD, they might actually have one in stock already.

Do they use the same high accuracy quartz calibres as Grand Seiko?

from what I read, yes. Have to check the particular movement, but I think >>18073760 this one's supposed to be +-1 second a year or something crazy like this

>>18073769
>Do they use the same high accuracy quartz calibres as Grand Seiko?
It's an older module but yes.
GS used to use the 8J back in the 90s and early 2000s, nowadays they use the 9F.

>>18073770
>+-1 second a year or something crazy like this
+/- 10 seconds per year, but that's still pretty good.

That Citizen movement that they only make in limited numbers is +/- 1 second per year.

No need to get upset. That's the first teaser. Don't they usually do a bunch before a rollout?

Watch looks just about right for your wrist. This is an unforgiving angle. It is by no means too big for your wrist. It is not too small for your wrist either. About right judging by the bad angle. It probably looks more delicate when not photographed straight on which makes every watch look big for some reason.

The bracelet tapers neatly around your wrist instead of hanging down, which is the main sign that a watch fits well enough. You should not wear anything larger than 43mm though for sure.

Congrats on your beautiful piece. What else do you own? Let me know if you want suggestions based on your collection.

I had a tag heuer chronograph that was 15mm and it honestly felt so bad to wear, when a watch is that thick and heavy every time you rotate your wrist it's gonna feel like it's falling off and sagging your arm down with it

The Gen 2 is the smart money you realize that?
>last of the JLC based Vacherons
>last of the ultra thin Overseas

3rd gen is mostly unremarkable because 2nd gen was the trailblazer with the new bracelet and Maltese bezel.

What's the word on gshocks? There are so many fucking mud resistant jeet resistant shit resistant water resistant variants I cba to know which ones which

what's the most sturdy model under $150 that I can basically rape and it won't die

I know this general is mostly for shitposting but maybe somebody here would actually know

I bought a grand seiko (an old one so seiko grand seiko) pic related with the intention of reselling it since I got it for really cheap, the caveat being that it doesn't work

After troubleshooting for a while I tested it with a magnetometer app on my phone and it definitely starts to go haywire whenever I wave it over the phone leading me to believe that it is actually magnetized

The thing is I've read that since the spring drive mechanism is that weird mechanical quartz hybrid thing that there may be some kind of magnetic component built into the watch itself, so in this case I'm not sure if some magnetism being detected by the meter is expected or not

tl;dr if I bring a grand seiko spring drive that I suspect to be magnetized to a watch repair place and ask them to demagnetize it do I risk fucking the watch up more than it already is

inb4 just send it to grand seiko i will but only if i have to since it costs several hundred dollars and id be lucky to get it back in four months

>>18073110
>>18073165
Mud resist means you can still operate the buttons easily when it gets muddy even if you are wearing gloves. Mud will not damage any regular Casio even if it's not mud resist but it might make the buttons harder to press and the watch harder to rinse clean.

Vibe alarm and LED light and great features, the design is pretty decent. Peak eternal dadwatch.

>>18073962
>he's still shilling his ugly worthless shitter no one likes

Every single watch should be 36mm, no exceptions

151 gramms with titanium case and bracelet? What is inside, bricks?

>>18073977
*laughs in 59mm"

>>18073981
Better than what?

It's using a Swatch group movement, and it's THICC

If you don't mind that, it's better, but by the accounts of people who have handled both, the time is the better piece (just ask Archie on that one). His friend owned both and Archie was more impressed by the time. It's the ultra thin properties.

>>18073975
I've already influenced you to the point of wanting an Overseas, don't deny it.

>>18073981
There are no good 2nd gen Overseas. In fact there are no good Overseas, but still:
1st gen > 3rd gen > a pile of shit > 3rd gen

>9mm thick
>antimagnetic
>automatic
>sports watch, integrated bracelet

Is there actually a single watch ever made that can compete with this? I'm pretty sure the Royal Oak ultra thin is just 0.5mm thinner than this, and it obviously costs 10x as much and uses a crazy out-there movement, while this is just using an ultra thin dress watch movement.

>>18073990
>1st gen > 3rd gen > a pile of shit > 3rd gen
Agreed.

2nd gen trumps them all tho.

>>18073929

>>18073990
1st gen bracelet is straight up ugly, and the only reason you rate the 1st gen above the others is because it fits your Auschwitz wrists better being 36mm. Just stop coping, it's okay to wear small watches, but if that's your only argument against pieces, you're in the wrong hobby.

Any of these of any interest to anyone?

>>18073890
It's an Islander it's not too expensive but at this point I pretty much will have bought a longines or something

>>18073993

Looks like the anons who've ripped you a second the day you bought it have gotten inside your head.

>>18074008
Seeing as he's never posted a wrist shot, he's probably still waiting for it to arrive from China.

The replica factories prefer the second gen because it's got a closed caseback. The open caseback of the third gen makes it much more difficult to fake.

>>18073926
I think they make a 37mm version too, don't they?

Overseas is cool

>>18074012
Nah I think he got one.
Looks like a typical case of someone who desperately wanted an Overseas and had to settle with the cheapest, shittiest one he could find.
He's posted a wrist shot actually, but a very weird angle. It's too big for him and he knows it.

>>18074017
>Nah I think he got one.
His fake arrived?

>>18073967
>tl;dr if I bring a grand seiko spring drive that I suspect to be magnetized to a watch repair place and ask them to demagnetize it do I risk fucking the watch up more than it already is
No one will work on it because no one has the tools and schematics and no one wants to take the risk of being responsible for fucking it up. Unless you can find an overconfident or a very dumb watchmaker.
>inb4 just send it to grand seiko i will but only if i have to since it costs several hundred dollars and id be lucky to get it back in four months
It is literally your only option. GS does not authorize any outside workshop for Spring Drive repair and no one has any clue how to work on them since the technology has been on the market for a pretty short time in the grand scheme of watchmaking, with zero transparency whatsoever.

>>18074017
>Looks like a typical case of someone who desperately wanted an Overseas and had to settle with the cheapest, shittiest one he could find.

Nobody is desperate for an Overseas. Overseas buyers wanted a Nautilus or a Royal Oak, couldn't get either, and settled for the sports watch from the little sister of the so-called Trinity.
When Richemont took VC over the first thing they did was order the company to make a Nautilus/Royal Oak competitor. Their previous sports watch was much more elegant Santos competitor but it was also very 1980s-looking.

>>18073028
Uhh you should save some money and buy a Lange instead which will mog the Patek in every way.

>>18074029
The right is precisely how a watch should fit on your wrist. You can see the watch with a good view of every visible component of the watch other than the clasp and it's legible, and it fits just well enough to comfortably sit below the wrist joint and keep it there without chaffing.

>>18073749
>that date window

>>18074024
>Overseas buyers wanted a Nautilus or a Royal Oak
Nah I disagree. I genuinely believe the Overseas is a grail for many people BECAUSE it's not an AP or a PP (and/or because VC has that "aristocratic" image - which is pure bullshit btw).

It's kind of the same with Omega or GS. People who say these are Rolex cope are missing the point. There are people out there who hate Rolex more than anything and will never buy one even if there was no waiting lists.

>>18074041
that kind of makes it worse, though. at that point, you've sour grapes'ed yourself into desiring an inferior product.

The GX-56 is just a G-Shock for people who think G-Shocks are too small. It's huge, covered in plastic, has mud resist and alpha gel. The negative displays are harder to see as usual and positive display versions are rare.

>>18074008
>You're saying that a lot. You also sound aggressive and hysterical.
>Looks like the anons who've ripped you a second the day you bought it have gotten inside your head.

I think you're just butthurt that you can't afford my collection. But maybe you have a wold timer, in your head.

>>18074017
>Looks like a typical case of someone who desperately wanted an Overseas and had to settle with the cheapest, shittiest one he could find.
People who actually know about watches prefer the 2nd gen. It's no surprise that a person who dresses like shit and collects Rolex, the biggest meme in watchmaking, doesn't appreciate it.

You know who always has to get the latest and greatest? Chinks. That's their entire thing. The outgoing model is worthless because in their society you don't exist if you don't have the latest shit.

Same is true for the nouveau riche. People who are aspiring to be rich, or just became rich, will go out and buy Daytonas instead of Moonwatches, for example. Real collectors have the Moonwatch and don't care much for Daytonas.

So, what are you? :^)

>>18072777


IWC next to Mont Blanc ?

Panerai next to Hublot ?


Ulysse Nardin..... yeah, the guys with tons of international awards, yes those are shit... yeah for sure.


Stupidiest list ever.

What's my best alternative to the Casio AE-1000W? It's a model no one seems to talk about and Casio's official website has no word on it as well. My favorite fucking watch got lost a few years back and I just lost my interest in watches since then. I'm tryna get back but I desperately need something similar to it. 10 year battery, 100m water resistance, world time. What a watch. (btw I hate the square world timer watch they have on their website atm)

>>18074043
>that kind of makes it worse, though. at that point, you've sour grapes'ed yourself into desiring an inferior product.

>fuck what people like, always get the most expensive watch lol

You realize how this makes you look, right? And you even think this is somehow a reasonable point of view. Strikes me as underage, consumerist whore who's either on a big allowance or broke and just posting what he will own in his dreams. Like

>lol you dont even own a Nautilus?

What the fuck are you even trying to convey here? That only watches $100k and above are worth their salt? You're wrong. And if you think you get rich by spending 100s of thousands on watches, you're also wrong.

I don't know why I'm trying to explain this, as you're probably just trolling, but only idiots overpay for overvalued watches. Billionaires don't buy rainbow Daytonas.

>>18074136
The problem with UNs (and plenty of other high end brands) is that people will like them, say they're interesting, and so forth; but when anyone is asked "Do you like it enough for you to buy one?" the answer is usually no.

It makes sense to only ever buy them used, because they depreciate horribly and their polarizing designs make people fall out of love with them as easily as they fall in love with them.

Hey guys, can you give me a little help?
My grandfather recently passed and my mom gave me his watch. He hadn't worn it in many years because I'd never seen it.

I know it's a Patek Phillippe and that's a famous brand. I know it's either white gold or platinum because it weighs a ton. Other than that, though, I don't know much about watches. Does anyone know what the model number is or any information about it?

>>18074234
>"Do you like it enough for you to buy one?" the answer is usually no.
It would help if their catalog did not jump immediately from "time + date but for the price of your average complication watch" to "hyper high-end experimental watchmaking where you're not always sure how to tell the time because nothing else anywhere even works like this". Or that their more palatable models are all quickly phased out while the more out there collections stay (which makes sense, it's not the San Marco that made them stand out). They aren't exactly doing themselves any favor but that's what makes them a unique presence in the watch market.
I'd save up for a perpetual calendar, if they still made them. Which they don't. I guess that comes with constantly trying to push new tech, you can't keep everything in production and the old has to make way for the new.

Just arrived today.
