Seething shoplifter detected. You won't get out of this one. I'll bring it up in every thread from this day until you eventually kill yourself due to realizing what a pathetic lowlife sack of Slavic shit you are. No wonder your mother abandoned you.

I kinda like the Breguet Marine

Yeah that was the first thing i thought of as well.

It is one of the most beautiful Pateks I have ever seen.

>>18083610
this look like a $50 watchh from the mall.
Watch collecting is so silly.

>>18083610
Yeah nah. This style is hard to fuck up and they just did.

>>18083600
I don't like the subdial placement.
It doesn't align horizontally and triggers my autism in the process.
Big date is nice though.

Jesus Christ, what the fuck?
Who the fuck thought this mess of a dial was a good idea?

>>18083547

Hi you all

Today I’m wearing my bronce solo tempo

I love this watch, but I don’t love bulgari, I always find them too much brand exposure, but this one somehow doesn’t feel like that.

Love the weight too.
PS: Grand Seiko is for goat fuckers.

>>18083640

>>18083629
Ignore GS chronos, even i as a GSfag will say that they're straight up ugly.

>>18083643

>>18083645
i like em
just too damn big

This thread needs IDs so badly.

>>18083647

>>18083651

>>18083555
Same vibe and color scheme

>>18083654

>>18083652
The dial texture is meant to evoke the crumpled up plastic bag in the dumpster next to the public toilets in the sacred parking lot at the national forest of Wakanakamakawasabi.

>>18083639
Based.
Would be better without the date though senpai.

>>18083629
Oh, I almost forgot.
I have to get it off my chest now, I truly loathe the ugly font they sometimes use for the numbers in the date window. That "6" looks gigantic, it's so fucking bad.
I've never read anyone complain about this, like, what the hell?

>>18083655
I guess pale green and champagne are in.

>>18083655
>textured bezel vs fully smooth and polished bezel
>sanded dial vs sunburst
>minimal indication vs print + applications
These designs have nothing in common other than both being grey, you just wanted to post a VC again.
Which is fine.
I like their enamel dials better tho

>>18083573
Overseethe needs to be added to the list.

>>18083666
He's not an avatarfag though, he is just very easily spotted through text.
But otherwise
>Overseethe
Posted about how happy he was to be buying an Overseas thinking he would get updoots and positive feedback. Didn't get updoots and positive feedback. Has been on a constant meltdown ever since and saying it's everyone else that is mad

>>18083655
>Same vibe
Absolutely not.
>and color scheme
Clearly not.

>>18083662
I like phat numbers that fill all the width of the date wheel.

>>18083669
But it was everyone else that was mad though, saying it's not a "real" vc, whatever that means.

>>18083687
Tbqh it was most likely just bittercel samefagging as always.

>>18083669
Oh, I didn't read the whole thing. I didn't realize it was only avatarfags. Overseethe refuses to post pictures.

>>18083639
Based. Have you seen the re-issue of the yellow gold version? It's very flashy, and I could never pull it off but it looks good.

>>18083567
Who is this guy?

Fuck...they stole my 10k watch right off my porch. Opened box too... we'll there goes my nice watch funds. There is always next decade.

>>18083705
Really?

>>18083709
No retard I don't live in a third world shithole lmfao. Sucks to be so poor that you'd believe that LOL. Just get a job in a Koren wire factory Slobodan.

>>18083709
No but with how American delivery service works it probably would happen and they would just leave it on the fucking porch I instead of do a pickup thing...

>before Richemont: real VC

Simple as.

>>18083687
Bittercel is just upset that someone owns an expensive timepiece so he comes up with delusions of grandeur-type stories about the owner. Nothing new there. I've actually seen Overcel destroy Bittercel a few times now to the point of Bittercel abandoning thread.

>>18083573
this list is 4 months due for an upgrade

>>18083723
So Bittercel is also the Vacheron gatekeeper? The plot thickens. I wonder which Overseas sexually abused you. Show me on this wristwatch where it touched you.

>>18083740
>Overcel
It's Overseethe

>>18083747
How much time are you spending on this per day?

I need some help shopping around.

Ive been looking for a green dial watch with at least 10atm worth of water resistance.

What all is out there ?
I know of Omega, NOMOS, & Rolex who all have one, but who else ?

>>18083748
About four minutes.

>>18083752
I think Overcel has gotten to you. Seems your entire 4chan life revolves around him. Maybe talk to somebody about it because it looks like he's winning when you're writing fanfic about him.

>>18083750
The Oris Aquis has a green dial variant.

Also, VC just put out a green dial Overseethe...fuck, I mean Overseas. Christ, now you guys have got me doing it.

>>18083755
So Overseethe bothers you so much you're trying to call yourself Overcel now?
Holy shit.

>>18083758
What? I'm not Overcel. I call everybody the cel-name because I think it's funnier.

>>18083747
kek

>>18083747
Looks like the shoplifter remarks made you upset.

Why didn't you just buy a Daytona where you live? Can't afford it? Shame.

>>18083747
This is going to keep him going all day.

>>18083778
>>18083764
>>18083758
Samefag harder, Bittercel.

You're projecting all your insecurities onto us. I suspect you're bald and kissless, actually. It's sad to know you exist and will one day wake up to realize that even your fake gook Daytona won't change your life.

>>18083750
What style of watch are you looking for? Field watch, diver?

>Bittercel gets called out on his samefagging and shoplifting ways
>leaves in shame

Boring.

>>18083782
Mostly diver orientated, but I am open to new ideas like dress oriented.

>>18083756
Oris is odd to me, I am not a huge fan or the integrated bracelet either.

>>18083792
What's your budget?

>>18083792
The 100m WR requirement makes dress watches kind of impossible.

>>18083793
Ideally, shooting below 5k. Although if its something Im really into, I wouldnt mind spending more.

>>18083796
Fair point. Ive batted an eye at the Cuervo y Sobrinos latest green watch.

>>18083797
On that kind of money and it needs to be a green dial, there is only one respectable choice. Breitling Superocean Heritage green dial with black bezel. Tudor movement. Superb finish and quality. Sure it's a bit of a Hulk cope but it's a fraction of the price.

If you want something out there, a JLC Polaris with green dial but it will be more expensive.

If not a diver, get the new IWC Mark XX with green dial. Great piece.

You already mentioned the known stuff like Omega Seamaster seaweed so I'll not repeat.

The SARB035 does have a 100m WR.

>>18083803
>Breitling Superocean Heritage
I just saw that this morning, I might have to go look at in person! For what its worth, Rolex's green is rather obnoxious. I think Formex even makes a better green. I have also put thought to the Omega Seaweed green too. I enjoy the seamaster's funky hands.

>>18083815
My choice would be between those two if it needs to be a diver. So pick one you can't go wrong there.

>>18083803
>Breitling
I would strongly recommend against this.
A lot of watchmakers will refuse to work on them because the hands are made brittle on purpose so they break when removed during service and need to be replaced. That way the only safe way to have your watch serviced is to send it to Breitling's slow and VERY sub-par repair centers who will also rape you with their pricing
>t. sent a 600 euro repair quote to a client this week for a fucking quartz service during which they don't even touch the movement, they replace it outright ; had a case last month of a Navitimer with a chrono hand that fell off and Breitling insisted it was absolutely necessary to do a full service and change the dial and change the glass for a total of 1500e

>>18083823
That's bullshit. I've had several Breitling serviced at independents without ruining the hands.

>>18083583
>>18083588
>>18083567
what fuck is this?

>>18083743
shut up faggot

>>18083824
Good for you then, you know either a really good guy or a guy sitting on a stock of hands and you should stick with him. Because seconds and chrono hands snapping on Breitlings is a well known problem among watchmakers. It's not as bad with quartzes.

>>18083595
>>18083603
exactly makes 0 sense to buy that watch when you can get a moonshine gold speedy grey cheaper

>>18083825
average greek male

>>18083825
The guy who gets mad as fuck when you talk about expensive watches.

>>18083687
honestly i just think the new overseas look better... would rather buy a rolex than what overseethe has

>>18083835
who cares though? Buy what you want

I would suck a cock for a pink Lolex rn...

>>18083785
What is this? How big?

>>18083797
>>Ideally, shooting below 5k.
LOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL

>>18083828
Maybe if you weren't a subhuman Mongolian rape spawn retard who can't handle anything delicate without breaking it?

>>18083846
Bittercel is having a stroke. Don't forget to tell the paramedics about your Daytona purchase vacation on which you went solo without friends, girlfriends or family and then committed tax fraud to get upvotes.

>go to Watchpro to see some nice watches
>half of the posters are wearing watches that are obviously too big for them
Why do people do this? Wearing a large watch is uncomfortable.

>>18083887
Jesus Christ, the watch is cool, but this is disgusting.

>>18083887
Too big is just as bad as too small. No exceptions.

>>18083573
based

>>18083911
Too big is way worse than too small. Nobody will notice a small watch, everybody will laugh at you for wearing a big ass watch.

>>18083920
>Too big is way worse than too small.
No.
>Nobody will notice a small watch
Cope. Everybody notices a too small watch. We're talking 34mm and smaller here. No average male should wear that without being a faggot.

>>18083844
A Seiko Weekdater, 6218-8970. 37mm.

>>18083926
>No.
Yes.
A small watch goes unnoticed. A watch too large draws attention.

>>18083911
Too small is a myth. There's no such thing as too small.

>>18083926
No one notices what watch your wearing in general. The only other people that notice are other watch autists.

>>18083934
Keep telling yourself that. Everybody notices your bitch status when you wear a tiny ladies sized piece because they know it's cheaper than a properly sized piece for your wrist. Embarrassing.

>>18083939
You've not been outside much have you.

>>18083937
Whatever helps you rationalize buying 33mm shit pieces when you can't afford a real watch. Small, outdated watches look like a joke on your wrist. They belong in a museum and should not be worn anymore.

I bet you're that wristlet who posted that picture of Ali trying to convince us his tiny watch looked good on him, kek.

>>18083941
Everybody's laughing in your back for wearing a comically oversized watch and (rightfully) assume you have a baby size dick and can't satisfy a woman.

>>18083942
You're delusional if you think normal people give a fuck what watch you're wearing, let alone if its diameter starts with a 3 or a 4.

>>18083944
Struck a nerve? Women know you don't have proper cash when they see your vintage joke of a watch.

>>18083945
>You're delusional if you think normal people give a fuck what watch you're wearing
So I guess Rolex is entirely marketed and sold to watch autists then? Funny that it's the most valuable brand name in the world.

Underage cunt.

>>18083946
>completely misses the point
No one who isn't a watchfag cares what you're wearing. Yes, this includes if it's a rolex. To normies rolex is "that watch for boomers".

>>18083948
You're just plain wrong. You can keep repeating this shit all day if you want. It won't make it any more correct.

>>18083942
My wrist is 8 inches and I have watches in every size from 34mm to 46mm. My favorite daily wear watches are 36mm and nobody has ever once commented that anything was wrong with a watch I was wearing. Again, "too small" isn't a thing.

>>18083949
And you can cope that people totally notice and give a shit about your rolex all you want, doesn't make it true. No one cares.

>>18083946
Small gold watches give off old money vibes.
Your mid 2000s shit tier Overseas gives off "I couldn't afford the real deal" vibes.

>>18083950
>8 inches
>baby sized watches

Nobody comments on it because generally people don't try to offend other people. It looks comical on your wrist.

>>18083955
You're so easily baited. I fucking knew you were here the entire time, afraid to post because I'll pull out the shoplifter Daytona story again. Holy shit this is good.

And to think that you genuinely collect girl sized watches and call yourself a man. Fucking wow.

>>18083955
>Small gold watches give off old vibes.

You're right about that by the way. No argument there. Sadly you can't afford new pieces so you're forced to be laughed at for wearing stolen grandpa ones.

aaaaand he shuts up again like the good dog he is. I guess calling him a shoplifter really gets to him because he's little more than a common thief in real life. No wonder he committed tax fraud to flex with an overpolished vintage Daytona. Lower than a bastard.

Why don't chinks just make fake moonswatch?
I'm sure the fake ones would be higher quality.

fucking lmfao @ bittercel top kek bitch

>>18083960
It's the opposite, people actually comment how great my 36mm explorer and datejust and daydate look. But keep coping that your big watch somehow makes you a big man.

>>18083825

Do rolex dealers really search your name and look for your online presence and social media to decide if they're giving you a watch?

I want a good day date watch under 40mm diameter that is not a rolex, what are my options?

>>18084102
Lmfao bittercel

>>18084110
>>18084102

Went to an omega store today and liked the speedmaster a lot more than i expected to. They wouldnt bargain with me at all though and it's in a part of town with way higher taxes so not sure if i should order from omega directly or just get it somewhere like chrono24. Couldnt decide if the clear backed version is worth the extra money. I wasnt as impressed with the movement as some other watches but kinda nice to be able to see it, and scratch resistance.

>>18083971
Are you suggesting omega is not high quality?

>>18084108

>>18084167
he said good

>>18084108
SNK

>>18084132
The hesalite version is "superior" imo, much warmer domed crystal and clearer dial, no milky ring from the sapphire. That said I for one haven't ever cared about exhibition casebacks. If you were at a Boutique: they do not bargain... and most ADs will not bargain more than maybe throw in a strap if you're buying the bracelet version etc. The Moonwatch is always a good seller so they don't really have to move units.

I would totally recommend buying from Omega at an Omega Boutique if there is one near you, it's a fantastic experience, otherwise at least buy from an AD. "Hand Wind Coaxial Chronograph" is a type of watch that only Omega makes, and so if something goes wrong you're going to want a legit warranty.

Either that, or buy a used 1861 Caliber moonwatch that's already out of warranty and pay 4.5kish instead of 7k for a new 3861 hesalite/8k for a new sapphire sandwich.

>>18084202
I'm just a bit worried about hesalite front getting scratched. The moonwatch being popular does make it hard for deals outside Grey new Marchetti like chrono although they seem safe enough. Is experience buying from a boutique really worth the money I'd save of just buying from omega site and having it shipped where I live and save like $500? Never owned a manual wind either, used to quartz or automatic so that might take some adjusting

>>18084070
IDK, someone will be confiscating it soon.

What watch brand fits this meme? Loved by normies, hated by pretentious redditors and youtubers, loved by people with actual money and taste.

>>18084238
rolex

>>18083600
Do you actually like that Tag? I've never really understood the appeal of Tag (or Panerai or Breitling for that matter).

They all just kind of look like more expensive versions of Walmart Chinese display watches to me. I think they are trying to go for "sporty and rugged" and often just end up looking like bulky chinesium shitters.

>>18083750
Seiko alpinist

>>18084240
>>18084238
Unironically Rolex and seiko

>>18084246
100 percent agree. Tag and to a lesser extent breitling look like expensive chinese Walmart shitters. Panerai don't look like this but they also look like shit and the chinese fakes are good enough to fool jewelers so they are basically Chinese garbage

>>18084246
Having sold watches before I can tell you that tag heuer as a brand is a bit of a dog

The quality of the watches themselves is okay but the designs typically stink and they’re often bulky and cumbersome to wear

Also their value tanks hard and fast, people in general just don’t like them that much

>>18084275
I think some of their vintage inspired designs are really good, especially the new Glassbox that finally has a bracelet. If they position themselves between Tudor and Omega it would be a good idea.

>>18084278
Their recent designs have been really good (or some of them) but they're still just starting to recover from being the plastic Formula 1 brand in the 90s and the quartz Aquaracer in the 2000s.
Guess we'll have to see how well these newer vintage-y models fare on the longer run. Seeing the issues they had with the silicon-spring Autavias, let's not hold our breath.

>>18084238

So when did you realize modern watchmaking is stupid and irrelevant? Face it modernfags, watchmaking peaked in the 1950s/1960s.

>>18083665
>>18083676

Both are dressy watches and have the light green/champagne color scheme.
They have the same vibe and color scheme.

How many of you insure your watches? If so how where did you draw the line on watches price before insuring, where are you doing that through (ie home insurance or third party), and what's the cost?

>>18084290
Those are absolute classics. Lemania movement, built back when Tag owned Lemania. Manual wind. Same size and proportions as the vintage model. Even the same thickness. Absolutely perfect. The best Carrera to own.

Grail par excellence

Alright, I have to admit, I unironically like TGV. The guy might be weird, a bit cringe with sometimes shit opinions, but he feels honest and genuine. He's way more entertaining than the other watchfag shills on YouTube.

>>18084368
He's gotten a bit full of himself recently, acting as if he is the only guy on youtube to not run a store and as such the only one who isn't a shill.
Granted, you just need to see what has become of Teddy Baldandsour or Christian (curator of the Theo and Harris vintage watch shoP*smacks lips*) and you can't help but see he might have a point.

>>18084323
It's absolutely perfect. Tudor is mogging the whole industry right now.

>>18084202
>would totally recommend buying from Omega at an Omega Boutique if there is one near you, it's a fantastic experience
What makes the boutique experience fantastic?

>>18084228
Hesalite scratches are polished out at home using Polywatch. Don't even concern yourself with them. The only thing to be careful of is smashing it into shit because it will easily shatter being plastic.

Don't buy it brand new and don't buy the latest model. Get the big fuck off box 1861 model used with all it came with.

>>18084386
>because it will easily shatter being plastic.
The exact opposite is true. The whole reason the hesalite speedy is qualified for EVAs and the sapphire one isn't is because sapphire shatters & acrylic doesn't.

>>18084388
I was using shatter as a synonym for breaking, not literally shattering into a million pieces.

>>18084390
Sapphire will quite literally shatter into lots of pieces before acrylic would even crack from a hit. Being shatter resistant is quite literally its main purpose.

>>18084376
They serve you a Nespresso coffee and then write your name on the warranty card. If you're lucky enough you might get a free nato strap. Fantastic experience.

Oh and obviously they give you a 5 minutes explanation about the Moonwatch history. Did you know it went to the Moon?

>>18084396
WOOOAAAAAAAH
It went on the HECKIN MOON?!?
It was worn by a MAN ON THE MOON????
That is so cool, I thought Omega just made moon-themed watches to latch on the success of the space-themed Moonswatch.

>>18084386
>Don't buy it brand new and don't buy the latest model. Get the big fuck off box 1861 model used with all it came with.
Why, and whereto find that?

This is my first major watch purchase and I was kind of wanting to get new but wasn't willing to pay the $8900 after tax from the boutique. Was looking at omega site but went out of stock shortly after. I found this chrono dealer Brilliance and Grace which looks.very legit and at $6960 with tax and shipping so that's a pretty huge difference between the boutique or omega site when they're available again. It just feels like throwing away $1500+ to get the same new watch.
>Hesalite scratches are polished out at home using Polywatch.
I get this is an option but seems annoying. I didn't honestly notice a huge visual difference between the hesalite and sapphire visually. The milky band people complain about didn't seem like an issue at all to me.

>>18084394
I'm aware of that, as I said. Plastic will break more easily though.

>>18084402
No, it won't. Not breaking is precisely why it's used. Stop spouting lies.

>>18084399
I get this is bait but it is still kinda neat. Even without that fact though it's a great looking watch that seems capable of every day wear and also dressier situations. Don't have any chronometer either.

>>18084404
>Not breaking is precisely why it's used. Stop spouting lies
This is really true. You can watch videos of impact tests of the two crystals. The sapphire shatters into more small pieces, which is way more dangerous in space. The hesalite still breaks just into a few larger chunks, less problematic for nasa

>>18084404
What the fuck? That's incorrect. The point of hesalite is that when it breaks, it breaks into a couple of pieces, while Sapphire will shatter into a million. But if you hit both with a hammer they will both break apart.

>>18084406
Sure, that's what I said. But that doesn't mean acrylic will survive a hit without breaking that Sapphire wouldn't.

>>18084405
I like the Speedmaster too (especially with broad arrow hands) but let's be honest, Omega's marketing is beyond cringe and Reddit-tier.

>>18084402
>>18084404
sapphire is harder but more brittle than acrylic
consequently, sapphire won't scratch as readily as acrylic, but it will break before acrylic

>>18084374
Notice they never show profile views of this watch in promotional material.

>>18084409
They will both break under similar force. Sapphire will break into more pieces. That's not that big of a deal here compared to a trip to the moon

>>18084410
They do. The 12,9mm thickness is literally a selling point.

>>18084407
Yes it does mean that. It literally - not figuratively, but literally - does mean that. Literally.

Acrylic is precisely the opposite of sapphire and still relevant because of that - hard to fracture, easy to scratch.

>>18084414
No, it doesn't. See what this guy says here >>18084412
The difference of breaking point, if any, is irrelevant. Hesalite was chosen because it breaks into a few pieces when it breaks. That's why it's better for zero gravity situation, where you don't want to inhale Sapphire crystals for instance. Nobody at NASA gave a shit about the breaking point itself because they're almost identical.

You're just misinformed, accept it and move on.

>>18084407
Sapphire will break more easily than acrylic. And when it does, it will shatter into a million fucking pieces. Being harder means it's more brittle, and therefore easier to break. This is simple physics.
>it will easily shatter being plastic
Is not just wrong, it's the opposite of correct.

>>18084413
No, it really isnt. A GMT thicker than 12mm in that price range is fucking trash.

>>18084417
Once again, they break under the same conditions and the only notable difference is the fracture attribute.

>>18084418
Once again, your retarded ass saying
>it will easily shatter being plastic
Is wrong. Cope, faggot.

>>18084412
>They will both break under similar force
I don't think so, sapphire breaks before acrylic. I think this is clear. Keep hitting it harder and harder with a hammer, and sapphire won't show scratches but will eventually break into pieces, while acrylic will take the pounding but show signs from the impacts, but won't break.

You're incorrect, get over yourself. This backpedaling is pathetic.

It makes no real world difference. That's the point. Any difference is negligible compared to its fracturing properties.

You know, dropping an anvil on both will break them and tell nothing about the point, as measured as impact force per square inch etc., at which they break. Acrylic is stronger and less susceptible to breaking, they won't break at the same point.

>>18084446
No amount of greentext implications is going to hide your anger over being wrong. Keep replying though, it's entertainment.

Okay then buddy. NASA picked Hesalite for its fracture pattern, not its breaking point. Prove me wrong oh wait you can't because they both break under near identical stress.

>>18084450

That's probably true, but we're not arguing about fracture pattern, but how readily they break. Do you have any source for the measurements? Would be interesting to see the results.

>>18084461
>Do you have any source for the measurements? Would be interesting to see the results.
I have been trying to find actual numbers on the difference in impact or breaking/shatter points of either sapphire and hesalite (or acrylic in general) and I have not found anything so far. Everything just shows hardness not impact ratings.

Great discussion faggots.

>>18084425
Islander just put out a $300 shitter with a miyota true GMT movement that's the same thickness. That's just one example, I'm sure it's not the only miyota gmt shitter that's similar or maybe even smaller?

The distinction of "true" gmt is really not a big deal to 99% of people wearing these watches anyway.

>>18084465
>Everything just shows hardness not impact ratings.
Because they're the same and the plastic breaks more easily on impact.

The surface tension of the domed Hesalite crystal causes it to crack under pressure more quickly than Sapphire. This is evident by the fact that the Hesalite cracked in a nearly straight line across the middle during that video shown.

Unfortunately the other guy is having a severe meltdown because we won't accept his word as evidence for his claims.

>>18084465
damn, that's a shame. would've thought someone would've tested those materials and published data.

Alright, here's an opinion that will all make you seethe and shit your pants, you obnoxious nerds:
Watches are fashion accessories and every wrist shot should come with a MANDATORY full outfit pic. I genuinely don't care how good or bad your watch is, as long as it matches your outfit it's fine to me.

>>18084478
Yeah, and also its diameter must start with a 4 if you're a man.

>>18084494
I know. It's not perfect.
I'm thinking of the new gmt one, it's 39mm. If it wasn't a steel watch then I would've pulled the trigger.

The snowflake only looks good with square hour markers. Although, I'll be honest with you, the snowflake seems very ugly to me, that's why I don't have a Tudor. The Black Bay would look great with Mercedes hands

I don't think it's strictly related to money. The most unpleasant poster ITT owns (or claims to, at least) a $20k watch.

Either way, I've read through enough of these threads to realize that most posters don't actually want to talk about watches and I don't like watching anons just spitefully troll one another, so I guess this isn't the place for me.

>>18084562
>I don't think it's strictly related to money. The most unpleasant poster ITT owns (or claims to, at least) a $20k watch.
It is, you just answered your own question for why the thread goes to shit when he posts his Overseas. It drives jealous people mad. Even though he probably doesn't own it, the notion that he might is enough to send them into a frenzy.

I'll be honest with you, the Overseas seems like a pretty ugly watch in all its iterations, this is my opinion, but if the anon is happy with his watch, that's fine with me. But i won't say that a watch is great just because it's expensive.

You're wrong though.
Some people here have posted really expensive watches (ALS, VC... there's even an anon who owns an FP Journe). Others have collections that are worth between 10 and 30k. They got mostly positive comments.
The anon you're talking about just thought he could flex here with a rather unimpressive, ugly watch.

I don't understand the appeal of GMT watches for most people.

If you're an international pilot, are constantly swapping timezones, and think in terms of GMT, it makes sense.
For everyone else it's just a gimmick that makes the watch less convenient, since they don't have a quickset date.

>>18084609
well yeah, if you don't like a watch you're obviously not buying it either, but if you do like and consider buying one price is relevant to the discussion. we are buying these things with our own money after all, sometimes at substantial money

>Sure, but honestly +30s a day makes the watch unusable on a daily basis. If you have a low budget and need a GMT, just get a quartz.
I agree. This was mostly just an experiment to see if such a watch existed.

A quartz with a world timer is easily the better choice for the low dollar buyer.
