No wonder bittercel is so jealous and always seething.

Meanwhile bittercel is jerking over some TAG or Shitling that he'll never afford lmao.

It's not him who's threadsplitting

>>18086048
It has to be so frustrating and humiliating for him, to assume that anyone who posts stuff shitting on him is a singular bitteranon, but when he tries to create a thread, no one joins it.

The last thread he made was on 4/1 and it STILL hasn't hit the bump limit so he made another one.

Why is 10:10 so kino on an analog watch?

>>18086090
A brief glance at his thread show's that's not the case. It's all just drama and him lashing out between blogposts.

Anyway, what we were talking about before new thread?

>>18085955
>Imagine the 222 as slim, simple, in steel and precious metals, few, if any complications; alongside the Overseas which can now be big, made of ceramic, carbon fiber and gold with a rubber strap and a double tourbillon.

I think this is the way that VC should go and the timing works out perfectly.

Next year is the 30th anniversary of the Overseas, they can introduce the fourth gen as a big chrono on a rubber strap or a 1000m diver.
The year after that is the 50th anniversary of the 222 and they can re-introduce the steel 222.

It would make for a pretty good mono-brand collection:
Something from the Traditionelle or Patrimony line for formal occasions
The 222 for daily wear
A big Overseas when you're attending an F1 race or something

>>18086097
nobody cares man, it's jsut shitposting, always has been.

>>18086086
I'm actually responsible for making several split threads from whoretadello's own /wt/. I don't mind his blogposting but I've had enough of seeing the same two watches in every goddamn /wt/ OPs for weeks.
And just to be clear, I'll keep making split threads every single time he makes a new one.

I can believe it.

I don't want my mechanical watch to run for 2 weeks when I am not wearing it to be honest.

You probably didn't, but if you actually bought that thing you are genuinely the definition of a midwit. Simply too stupid to understand what makes something good, and yet not dumb enough to follow the advice of actual experts

Severely Based.

INTEGRATED BRACELET SPORTS WATCHES ARE THE SLIM JEANS OF WATCHES.
In a couple of years you will feel embarrassed for buying one (or even considering it) to the point of denying you ever did.
>inb4 "my watch will never be outdated!"
There are only two watches that will survive the inevitable fall into disgrace of integrated bracelet sports watches. I don't even need to name them, you know exactly which one I'm talking about.
>inb4 "I don't care about trends! I love my watch and I'll keep wearing it"
You bought an integrated bracelet sports watch in the first place BECAUSE you've been brainwashed by marketing. And because you're in complete denial about this, you'll sell it at the worst possible moment leading you to lose money.
>inb4 "integrated bracelet sports watches are the best because"
They're fucking awful and you know it. The only reason they exist is to sell you some proprietary straps. They're the Apple of watches.
>inb4 "y-you're just poor and jealous!"
Me not falling for the integrated bracelet sports watch meme is proof I'm smarter and better with money than you.

Now cope and seethe, you fucking NPC.

I treat my watches like they're powerups/battle armor, anyone do the same?

>have an important meeting with clients, put on my most expensive ultimate form armor, my omega
>weekend day with the family, wear my fun color (yellow or teal/light green) dial watch

>need to do a grocery run, wear a blue watch and pretend like i'm sanic

>>18086228
what g shock is that

>>18086228
THE TUDOR
bio: blackshield was born with a special power. he was a better chronograph than all the other watches in the swiss fighting academy. he served in the swiss military fighting omega and in the final battel against omega they were fighting and omega turned him to the darkness and blackshed turned against rolex and killed him. he lost part of his snowflake in the battle which is why he doesnt not have a snowflake hour hand, pls stop PMing me askin me why thats why. also snoflakes arent gurly fuk you grandseiko everyone knos ur a fuckin quartz scammer fagot
likes: hurtin people, bein badass, timing motorcycle races, nine inch nails (the band), killing, death, punk rock, jinco jeans, skulls, darkness, hot gurls with big boobys who are sluts, short nails (on hand), snoflakes, red (cool kind not gay kind)
dislikse: niceness, happiness, levis, grandseiko from japan fuck you seiko stop usin zaratsu finishing you peace of shit, trent razner, ninne inch nails (on finger), rolex (megga ass-faggot), sunshine, life, my dad (hans wilsdorf), glashutte

Bros I need a reality check

I like the new red/black black bay gmt that tudor just came out with but I've also wanted a coke forever and don't want to buy a cope watch instead of getting what I actually want

What do

>>18086243
flip a coin, make it first to 5. Heads tudor, tails rolex. If you're dissatisfied with the outcome, then you know what you truly want.

>>18086243
You know damn well the Tudor is a cope. Buy the Rolex, you won't regret it.

>>18086243
There is a Rolex patent for a red and black ceramic bezel, wait a year or two, maybe Rolex will re-release it. I really like this watch too, i've thought about buying it or the Tudor, but i'll be honest with you, i don't need a GMT

>Verification not required.

>>18086341
Those brands all make their own movements in-house, not in-group.

And btw, Patek made its name and reputation almost exclusively using outsourced movements, like the Lemania movements for all of its chronographs until like 10-15 years ago.
Even the original Calatrava from 1932 used an outsourced Lecoultre movement.

>>18086232
Kino.

I heard there is a /wt/ discord around. Anyone got an invite?

If the devil offered me to have this watch in exchange for all the lives of the anons in this thread, I would accept in a heartbeat. Even for just one day, I would send you all to hell. Not a single second of hesitation. In fact, I would even seal the deal for a $30 Casio.

>>18086393

Been out of the watch game for a while. A couple years ago there was huge waiting lists for a Rolex, is that still happening?
What's the wait like for the green left handed "sprite" seamaster? I'm a lefty and always thought that one was cool

Cartier? More like Cock

Omega? More like Omygodthiswatchsucksass

Honest thoughts on this brand?

>>18086799
Overpriced even compared to the other 'luxury' brands which are overpriced to begin with.

>>18086799
just like the printed dials on the cartier, or the abysmal qr on a rolex: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CQSDHu8sVGk
so as with IWC, I dont understand where my money is going.

Too big for like every model.
Good designs though.

Because I'm drunk. Buy your grails...don't have a 'watch journey'. Just save up and buy your grails, and you'll be happiest, longest, without wasting money. Buy for yourself and no one else.

>>18086799
slab-sided cases turn me off. Perpetual calendar is a bargain on the secondary market. Fliegers aren't as authentic as Laco. Da Vinci is ugly but cheap. Portuguese is too big for reality.

>>18086793
Depends on the model.

>>18086784
No, they're available, and lists are going down. I'd recommend waiting another 3 years though to get true grey-market prices. I too love the left-handed Sprite...but it looks weird on the wrist (the larger cases that Rolex uses now look odd and throw off the proportion). Granted, it is the only modern Rolex I'd ever buy...which is saying something, I guess.

>>18086910
>Because I'm drunk. Buy your grails...don't have a 'watch journey'
Wise words there, fren.
Kofe time for me. What are you drinkin'?

>>18086150

>not my pic, its just the same watch

>>18086921
Port, as always, CitizenChad. How are you, Fren? I hope you have a productive day...coffee is always a beautiful start. I will sleep deep soon. I thought I'd wear my 2599.80...just because. It's funny...when every watch in a watchbox is a grail, it's almost like choosing a watch is a response to a feeling of a moment...the same feeling I had when determining why I loved a watch design.

>>18086936
Love it. The hour vision is still on my list of 'if I ever get back into buying watches....'. You also got the best bracelet Omega has made in the co-axial era. Wear it in good health, OmegaFren.

should I buy it? I have autism and want to see the moving clockwork

>>18086941
Thank you, omega anon! It really is the comfiest bracelet I've ever worn.

I honestly do not understand who would want one of these aside from MAYBE aviation nerds who don't go for Laco, Breitling, Sinn or anyone else who isn't gentrifying the shit out of their fliegers

>>18086946
Awesome!

>>18086951
Yes, I sometimes wear a watch to sleep; mainly to time how long I've slept, but sometimes it's for sheer emotional gratification. I love charging up the lume and seeing it in the dark before I fall asleep. The original tritium lume on the 105-012 still works, but for only a minute or so...still, it's nice to see proper lume proportions on a Speedmaster for a change. You can't tell from the pic (it was activated with uv), but the old style tear-drop shaped chronograph second hand 'fills in' the gap between the long hour marker plots and the end tip of the running hour hand. That's one of the design proportions that Omega got wrong (in my view, ON PURPOSE) with the Ed White reissue (the teardrop seconds hand lume flag is too high). Watching it cross the hour hand and fill the gap is simply based. Modern watch design really sucks by comparison sometimes...

Do you ever wear yours to sleep?

>>18086960
As a rule I never sleep with a watch on. Never found it comfortable on the wrist. My watch stays on my night stand and the first thing I do when I wake up is put it on.
Have you thought about replacing those tritium tubes? I reckon that is possible.

>>18086970
NEVAH!!!!

No, I'll never modify the 105-012...it's as original as it can be while still running (i.e. all the outer aesthetics are original, and only a few components of the movement have been replaced). Modifying the tritium would severely impact the value of the watch (i.e. around -5k in value at least once you do a re-dial, around -10k considering the condition of my dial), so forget that idea.

For me, the rule is that with vintage watches, they stay original. For anything past super-luminova, they can be serviced by the company with replacement parts for anything requiring it (including dials, hands, etc.).

That's the challenge of owning vintage. Even the Grail I have is all original...fucking pain in the ass to get one in that condition where the hands and lume plots haven't been 'moistened' beyond shit-brown colour...

Alright, genuine question:
WHO BUY THIS SHIT?
What kind of people look at this and say to themself "I need this"? What do they look like? What do they do for a living? Where do they live?
IT'S A 17MM THICK JAPANESE GMT CHRONOGRAPH WATCH WITH AN ASKING PRICE OF 14K. Who is this even for?

Is there a better Seamaster?

>>18086982
>Who is this even for?
Not many people. They'll eventually figure out that their chrono game is completely wrong, until then we get to laugh at them. This is coming from a guy who likes GS.

>>18086982
Fat-wristed weebs

>>18086977
>Modifying the tritium would severely impact the value of the watch (i.e. around -5k in value at least once you do a re-dial, around -10k considering the condition of my dial)
Those are some heavy hits, but it's understandable. How much did you pay for it yourself?

>>18086982
That thing looks like a fucking brick. Even considering their more angular cases, that's just too much. And those markers... why do they insist on doubling down on the thick markers and hands? Everything about this monstrosity rubs me the wrong way. It's like an "early draft" watch.

>>18086982
>WHO BUY THIS SHIT?
Manchildren.
More specifically, millennials with ADHD who grew up watching TV shows like Transformers and the Ninja Turtles. The flashy colors, loud noises and high-fructose corn syrup they've ingested over the years fried their brain to a point where they can't experience inner peace anymore. From this nightmarish state of mind was born a very specific aesthetic: chaotic designs, angular blocky shapes, loud colors...
If you ever meet someone wearing a Grand Seiko, you can be sure he eats a shit ton of McDonalds, watch BLACKED porn and supports Ukraine. These people lost their soul a long time ago.

God damn, it's just another big ugly Seiko watch, bro. It's not that serious.

Why has there been zero news from Watches&Wonders since Friday?
This thing supposedly ran all weekend and is still going today.

Was the venue flooded or something?

>>18087210

>>18087274
does it have the sun charging?
>>18087228
what watch

>>18087273
Wtf why they hide this from their site. Only one I saw was edifice... they have even more then.

>>18087278
Yes it does, and radio sync, and a stopwatch, and world time, and a timer, and 5 alarms, and 50m water resistance. It's pretty much a perfect everyday watch for 200 (250 for titanium) bucks.

I wish Grand Seiko didn't insist on using titanium so much. It's impressive what they do with it but I'd be fine with steel.

>>18087284
>50m
so like 1m for maybe 10 mins? that sucks but it's still okay I guess. and 250 for titanium? thats insane

>>18087291
that's 12k? why

>>18087292
I jumped into water from 5 meters multiple times as well as swam for quite some time and it's just fine.

>>18087291
I'd rather they just discontinue Grand Seiko as a separate brand altogether and instead focus on making regular Seikos better.

I'm convinced that they've been raising the prices and lowering the quality of the regular lines (Presage, Prospex, etc) in order to make Grand Seikos more appealing, which goes against what Seiko has always been: a good CHEAP watch.

>>18087296
Don't buy new Seiko, buy vintage.

>>18087293
if people still buy it, why not? it's a free market baby

>>18086014
i don't wear watches. metal bracelets tug my arm hairs out and leather bracelets get wet when i wash my hands. convince me why i should wear a watch.

>>18087299
Nato, rubber, canvas, perlon and sailcloth straps also exist.

>>18087299
>metal bracelets tug my arm hairs out
good quality bracelets don't.

>>18087293
Cost increase in production of the movement.

>>18087293
>that's 12k? why
Well it's not actually 12k. Grand Seiko ADs will always give you anywhere from 20-30% off MSRP right off the bat. There are no GS's with waiting lists such that the AD can play hardball.
If you're willing to buy used, you can save even more money because GS (like most watches apart from Rolex and Patek) hemorrhage value.

Women are even leaving their Chadlite husbands nowadays, it's crazy! Internet is a mistake.

Post a watch that everybody loves but you don't.
For me, it's the Cartier Santos. I just don't like the idea of a sports watch with roman numerals. Not to mention the polished bezel.

>For me, it's the Cartier Santos. I just don't like the idea of a sports watch with roman numerals. Not to mention the polished bezel.
Second that one.
I bought one, loved it for about a month, and flipped it. I got bored of it almost immediately. Extremely overrated.

(Also, the bracelet has no microadjust or even half-links. It's like they intend for you to wear it loose, 80s style.)

>>18087455
Me too.
I really like Santos Dumont, but I don't like regular Satos

>>18087455
The Reverso.

>>18087408
According to EU it is.

Does every quartz do the 2 second tics to let you know battery is low?

>>18087464
same. Cartier's designs just never seem to look quite right on bracelets. (Though the old Santos Carrée and Santos Galbée were better than the current design.)

>>18087471
What does that even mean

>>18087473
No.
Some do a 4 seconds tick, some do a 5 seconds tick, some don't do anything and just stop one day.

>>18087467
I like the simple, traditionally sized Reversos, which I don't think they make anymore. The medium of today is the Grand Taille (large size) of just a couple years ago.
Steel case, hand-winding, no duoface, no complications.
The extravagant ones are impressive by watchmaking standards, but are just awkward as watches.

>>18086996
I was very fortunate; right place at the right time, so I paid a fraction of its market value. It was a one-owner, and he wanted it to go to someone who would keep it, appreciate it, and most importantly, wear it. He didn't want it to go to a flipper for profit.

I know the history of the watch, and I'll never sell it. It's too special. You hear from people about how the history of a watch 'makes it special'. In this case, because I knew the man, it is.

>>18087478
>some don't do anything and just stop one day.
That's my one complaint... sure when the battery is new who cares but...

>>18087475
I agree, the old Santos is more like the Dumont.

>>18087467
The Cartier Tank is prettier than the Reverso.

>>18087467
I wouldn't buy 99% of the current Reverso offerings but you're soulless if you don't find it amusing to flip the face over. It's sort of like the Panerai Luminor crown guard as an exceptionally satisfying bit of design. Now whether that gimmick makes it worth buying is another question...I don't own a Reverso (I have a tank instead)

>>18087477
they've got a traditional sized reverso with no extra bullshit hidden under the ladies section. I've thought about getting one

My new watch from the 1930s.
It’s a MIMO, the company that bought Girard-Perregaux during the same time.
Roast me.

>>18087533

Finally. My new Sinn clasp arrived, so I can ditch that awful metal stamped shit clasp they had.

>>18087545
I have always liked that watch, but I didn't buy it because it is too thick for me, anyway, a very nice watch

>>18087545
A man that hairy shouldn’t be saying “my frens”

>>18087549

better now?

>>18087548
The movement is based on a 7750, which is already thick to begin with. However, it wears very nice and doesn't look that thick from most angles. There are watches with 7750s that look a lot thicker in my opinion.

>>18086105
10:10 or otherwise known as WPN (watch photo north) is the kinoest, 13:50 or WPS (watch photo south) is the second kinoest.

>>18087551
Yes

>>18087561
As to why, nobody knows.

>>18087493
>>18087515
They're both rectangular but I don't think the Tank and the Reverso actually have that much overlap.

The Tank is a pure dress watch. Gold, thin and elegant. (I'm just talking about the Tank Louis Cartier, here, the reference Tank.)
The Reverso, especially in its reference form (steel, monoface, classique) is much more casual and sporty, especially on the chunky cordovan straps they come with now.

I think a man could happily have both and not feel that his collection is redundant.

>>18086014
I had to check if this was real.
What a hideous display of pointless power reserve over beauty and dial legibility. Its bad. I even hate the color.

>>18087585
Why do watch companies insist on taking their cool, new technology and putting it under the most bizarre dials?
No one who sees it is going to remember that that watch can change its beat rate, they'll remember that it looks like some open heart mall watch.

literally all garbage and reissues. the brand is dead just give up your shilling already it isn't working

>>18087594

lmao and?

Name one good model from Patek, AP, hell even Rolex that isn't essentially decades old, or looks like it is decades old.

>>18087595
I hate the look of that watch too, but it's really meant to be more of a technical showcase.

>>18087599
Code 11:59 and Patek is going to save watchmaking in October when they release their new model line. That will be the final nail in the coffin for irrelevant Vacheron.

>>18087604
>Code 11:59
A complete laughing stock.

>Patek is going to save watchmaking
lmao let's talk about the here and now, shall we?

>>18087606
the here and now is that vacheron has not made a good watch outside of the twin beat in the last 25 years but if we're being honest it's more like the last 150 years

>>18087604
>Code 11.59
Beat me to it. I was looking for a good image of picrel.

It's not worth arguing though because he gave himself a bad-faith out by saying "name one GOOD model". If you show him something that obviously looks new, he'll simply say, "Nah, not good, I win the internet trolololol."

Again, and?
Patek and AP's most popular models are reissues too.
In fact, over 90% of AP's turnover is from their RO line.

>>18087624
the difference is that vacheron reissues are born out of desperation as the brand has been dying for the last 2 decades while patek and ap have dominated

>>18087629
>brand has been dying for the last 2 decades
No, it did die. Richemont bought the corpse and has been giving it the "Weekend At Bernie's" treatment.

>>18087629
>patek and ap have dominated
AP is coasting entirely on the Royal Oak.
Pretty much everything else they do is complete trash.

And PP is becoming more of a joke with every passing year, pandering to bling more and more each year.. Just look at the ridicule they're catching for their latest watches&wonders outing.

absolutely seething vacherontards, your brand is already dead and you just don't know it. sad!

>>18087632
VC never once ceased operations in all of its history.

Lange made Vacheron redundant.

>>18087647
Lange has literally one single case design.

>>18087648
and yet they have better in-house movements, better finishing, a more interesting sports watch, better technological innovation, and more prestige despite only being 30 something years old

>>18087647
Yes, and ALS made lot of other brands redundant too, but almost nobody can afford a Lange.

>>18087651
Literally none of that is true.
Nice troll though.

>>18087657
literally all of it is true

>>18087652
>but almost nobody can afford a Lange.
If you can afford a Vacheron, you can afford a Lange. Their prices line up pretty well with each other, apart from lines like the Fifty-Six, which Lange doesn't make.

Is there a brand that does a good well-rounded sports watch in this price category or am I better off just getting something cheap and saving for something better? Or is there like a sleeper HAQ Citizen or GS out there I should look out for?

He means that the definition of vodka in Europe is very vague

a) Vodka is a spirit drink produced from ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin obtained following fermentation with yeast of either: — potatoes or cereals or both, — other agricultural raw materials, distilled so that the organoleptic characteristics of the raw materials used and by-products formed in fermentation are selectively reduced. This may be followed by additional distillation or treatment with appropriate processing aids or both, including treatment with activated charcoal, to give it special organoleptic characteristics. Maximum levels of residue for the ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin used to produce vodka shall meet those levels set out in point (d) of Article 5, except that the methanol content shall not exceed 10 grams per hectolitre of 100 % vol. alcohol.

Rolex's entire business model is built on still being able to get timeless watch designs your grandpa aspired to buy in the 50s.

>>18088236
>anyone who pay premium for >12mm thick watches are fucking retards.
That's most of Rolex too.

A thick watch means a thick movement, and movement thickness is directly correlated with robustness.

>>18088236
If 12mm is the cutoff point then there's a lot more you should take out of the equation besides those two.

>>18087612
>excluding bad watches is "bad faith" in a discussion about watches being good

>>18088236
GS's dial finishing like markers and hands are on par with watches that cost 5 to 10 times more. You can buy a macro lense yourself or a small microscope and compare. Everyone that did, came to that conclusion.

>>18088254
>GS's dial finishing like markers and hands are on par with watches that cost 5 to 10 times more
Even most watches costing 5 to 10 times more have shittily finished hands and markers, including literally all Pateks and Langes. Even Dufour uses outsourced hands that are stamped.

You need to go to brands like Voutilainen, Grossmann, Lang&Heyne for hand-finished hands.

>>18088254
Prove it, without just repeating GS’ marketing materials.
>Look at my macro shots!!
You’ll have to provide macro shots of watches that cost 10 times as much as well.

>>18088254
