Is Bucherer actually entry level? I've seen a number of $40k+ watches by them and they're doing all the crazy high end shit with their movements with peripheral rotors and all kinds of stuff that most manufacturers don't really do.

>>18139281
who need a fucking islander or traska or whatever the overpriced mircrobrand shitter, when citizen nb1050 is only $400 and has everything they offer.

>>18139291
I haven't showed you which part of my ass to lick yet. Wanna see?

>>18139299
Citizen absolutely does not offer everything they offer.

>>18139301
Don't threaten me with a good time

are manual watches a pain in the ass?

>>18139296
Yeah. Some of the upper parts of their range are nice, but it's mostly just shitters. It's part of the overall impression of the brand.
Sort of the inverse of how Piaget is still ultra luxury despite offering a cheap Nautilus cope in the form of the Polo S.

>>18139309
Depending on the context they can be easier actually. If we're talking about a dress watch you'll only wear a couple times a year, a nice super thin watch with no complications you can just set and go works really well, and even if you are going to be out wearing it for 2 or 3 days a full wind will probably be enough power reserve to get you through that time.

Generally you should wind your watch at the same time every day to keep the spring tension consistent each day. So wind it up when you pick it up off of your dresser or when you're waiting for your coffee. It's advisable to take the watch off when you're winding it, so you need 2 hands free to do it, but other than that it's not a big deal.

This is now not a duplicate reply

>>18139309
>are manual watches a pain in the ass?
Not really. You get used to winding them pretty quickly. It just takes a few seconds. It becomes a part of your morning routine when you put your watch on in the morning.

15th for gshock and atomic syncing

>>18139309
>are manual watches a pain in the ass?
Better than automatic watches, imo:
-They are thinner
-Arguably cheaper
-You always know how much you wounded them up (unlike with automatics when you never know unless you shake them, in which case, it kills the point of being automatic)
-You create a bond with the watch

>>18139327
Is there a watch with manual and automatic variants where the manual is meaningfully cheaper than the automatic?

>>18139327
they also have a bigger power reserve on average.
Like, an entry level Hamilton Khaki mechanical will have an 80 hours power reserve already.

>>18139333
The hamilton automatic movements have 80 hours too. The mechanicals are just thinner.

>>18139331
I'd say they are cheaper because they have less complications.
But models in the same line, i guess Khaki field autos are more expensive then the mechanical

>>18139327
With an automatic, you just put it on and as long as you're wearing it, it works. With a manual, how do you know how much to wind? I don't think they all have power meters, do they? So in the morning, do I wind it 10, 20, 30 times...? Or just use trial and error?

>>18139339
Is there an automatic watch that you wear 24/24, even in your sleep?
As for the mechanical, you just feel it when there's resistance.

>>18139338
Yes but no? It looks like they're about $100 difference in retail price whether on the strap or on the bracelet. These aren't really even comparing like to like because the automatics have dates, and they often give discounts and stuff if you're buying from the jeweler in the mall or whatever so you can get either of them cheaper than this.

Like, yeah, the mechanical costs less, but is it enough less to convince you to save the money if you wanted an automatic watch? The real benefit to the mechanical is the dimensions.

Haven't worn my Rolex in a month after buying a $12 casio

>>18139339
Older handwind watches are a mixed bag, they're known for being delicate and breaking if you overwind them, but modern movements are much more resilient to that. The hamilton khakis in particular are really good with this because they wind nice and smooth until you suddenly hit a solid wall at the end of their wind. They make it very clear when it's time to stop winding.

>>18139315
Thanks chatgpt

>>18139346
>Like, yeah, the mechanical costs less, but is it enough less to convince you to save the money if you wanted an automatic watch? The real benefit to the mechanical is the dimensions.
The dimensions, the feel of it, some people don't like to feel the rotor (especially on cheaper automatics), it feels like a broken object and also makes you aware all the time that it's winding.

>>18139345
You guys don't sleep with your watches on?

>>18139317
Ref? Except for the Bluetooth, I like it. I think I should get a GW5000u.

>>18139355
I've only had a couple watches with noisy rotors. You don't usually feel them. On hamiltons you don't.

I don't even sleep with a t-shirt (or shorts half the time), let alone wearing something on my wrist.

>>18139446
Oddly that's not even enough. Patek and Rolex are so fucked with how even if you physically have a roll of cash in your hand to buy whatever watch you want they won't sell it to you if you don't have a sales history. You can show them you have the money for a pepsi or nautilus and they still tell you to pound sand.

>>18139412
Only for blacks

>>18139454
Both of those are exremely overrated. It's actually amazing how retarded the watch industry is. Whenever I start thinking about how retarded women are compared to men, I just think about thevaverage male 'watch enthusiasts' and I am cured

>>18139309

>>18139458
Women are the real retards because they don't appreciate g-shock

>>18139413
No

>>18139466
Men who jerk off their 'ad' for years to get a steel mechanical watch that is objectively inferior to their g-shock are even worse. Any man that has a "grail watch" should be shot

>>18139470
What are acceptable grail watches?

how come people hate regular datejusts so much?

every comment i see about them is that it's like the "leased bmw 3 series of watches" which i guess is true since they're so common, but i really think they're elegant and timeless. it seems like a decent way to spend 3-5k too on a semi-vintage watch as well. you really won't lose any money on it either and you'll get an iconic watch with a lot of presence.

>>18138833
Or the green this watch has become my next obsession. Time to do a bit of overtime...

>went to put my name on the Speedy white dial

>>18139481
Don't they use Sellita movements? Still Cartier uses Sellita movements, I love the fucking Santos but I'll be damn to pay $8k for a fucking watch with Sellita movements that can be found on a Christopher Ward or Invicta.

>>18139472
The concept of a grail watch is gay. There is no acceptable grail watch. The whole idea that there is one watch that you just love so much is stupid and pathetic. To be clear, I have no problem with people who like and even want an expesive watch. But, I don't have respect for anyone who makes a (((luxury))) watch one of their main motivators in life. The kind of person who slobbers over a Tudor black bay for years and scrapes together all their money to buy it and then makes a youtube video about how meaningful it is to have bought a WATCH. It is unbeleivably gay.

I don't have a grail watch but there is a watch that I want to be buried in. I'm an oldfag so I'm close to retirement and I kinda want something nice for myself, plus 20k is not a whole lot of money. I'm sure my grubby half mutt grandkids will swipe it off my wrist before they put me in the furnace. I hope they won't sell it though.

>>18139479
>>18139480

is it really bitter poorfags when they "prefer" an equally priced grand seiko or something over a datejust?

i get that they made millions of them, but people who have money, or credit cards, still don't seem to like a classic datejust for whatever reason. i want a 1990s one since they have a modern movement, sapphire crystal, and are essentially a modern rolex for a fraction of a new one. all while being something that has good wrist presence and obviously "heritage".

i want to treat myself and i've never bought a watch that cost more than $200, so i think a safe purchase is a datejust.

>>18139500
Based. You should buy a real one and a really good fake and give the fake to your grandkids, troll them from the grave

>>18139296
>>Is Bucherer actually entry level?
Yes.

>>18139501
When they can't afford either, it's just a way of lording it over those who are better off. It is bitter because they are just grasping for a way to be better than rich people: "We'll can't afford it, but I have better taste.." Many such cases

>>18139501
Why do you care if someone hates the watch that you like? I never or rarely post my watches online. However I do share my knowledge of Omega and Rolex watches. Especially how to spot a fake, where to buy them or whatever quirks they have.

This watch is for you and you alone, stop caring what other people think. You'll enjoy life more and maybe life a little longer.

>>18139503
That would be fucking hilarious to be honest. Worst thing about getting old is your ability to party diminishes, if we all live to a certain age without getting old and just dropped dead life would be so much more enjoyable. I can just hock everything and spend it on hookers and blow until I die. Now I need a pill for my junk to work.

>>18139507
>Now I need a pill for my junk to work.
Not the worst fate. At least you are wise and can cut through the bs to get what you want, and you have money now. Still, I hope I can avoid this by working out

>>18139511
Trust me, all the workout you will help but to satisfy a girl that's like 10-15 years younger than you having the pill will give you that extra edge to put her over the top. I work out as well as eat right and take my daily vitamins/protein shakes but that's only 50% of the battle.

>>18139513
PS: also don't skip leg days. If you can spend like 60% of the exercise on your legs and abs do it. Sprints helps, I can feel the difference.

I guess you have better genetics than I do. I take Cialis, but before that I'm usually one pump and done for 1-2 days. Like the first time works normal, 2nd time I get soft after a while.

I'm also an empty nester but Covid really did 20 years of marriage in for us. Cool part is she knows I love our kids and we're both great parents. And our kids are both great, one is in Stanford and one is just finished with her Jr. year. My ex doesn't seem to like sex though unlike this one, I'm pretty sure she's a closet lesbian.

We can't have sex like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Depends on how much it is, if its sub 1k you can't go wrong. If its above 1k then go Oris or Sinn.

If god forbid you want a fucking $4k watch then just get an Omega or Tudor. You can at least sell that and use the money to buy a Rolex later.

>refused to sell this in the US
Why?!

Dear Watch Manufacturers,

I write this requesting two simple things regarding bracelets. A good and properly sized bracelet is what makes a watch comfortable and therefore worn (and hopefully bought), and yet there is much catching up needed in the realm of micro adjust and the marketing of micro adjust. Therefore I ask watch manufactures to consider two things:

1) - For watches without micro adjust capability, please add micro adjustments to your linked bracelets.

For watches marketed above $500 USD, this is expected. It can be minimal, one to three options, 2-3mm a part. 5 options is ideal.

For watches marketed $1500 and above, the micro adjust is expected to range the full length of smallest link plus 40%. So if the links are 8mm and the half links are 5mm (yes I know this is not half), then there needs to be at least 7mm of micro adjust. If there isn't a half link, then there would need to be 11.2mm of micro adjust for the aforementioned 8mm link.

For watches above $3000, I fully expect the bracelet to have tool-less micro adjust AND range the smallest link plus 40%. This can be accomplished by increasing the range of the micro adjust or by adding a half link (I'm looking at you Tudor)

If a watch has to be designed not to have a micro adjust, because of a butterfly bracelet design, then it is expected there be multiple link sizes. 1/3 links, 2/3 links, half links included. Obviously this does not apply to bracelets with very small links (e.g. Cartier Santos) and those that are infinitely sizable (mesh).

For watches above $5k, regardless of clasp type, there should be tool-free micro adjust and/or comfort adjust. (Rolex's EasyLink is the bare minimum)

If you do not meet those requests, I will spend my money on those watches that do.

2) Please, please, please put some R&D into clasps, micro adjust, and sizing. And then PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, show it off on your website.

>>18139642
There are some very good micro adjust capabilities (I'm looking at you IWC Mark XX, and Omega 300MC), but on your website there is very little marketing/information of this capability and resulting wearability.

Most watch manufacturer websites don't even include pictures of their clasps (I'm looking at you Omega, Longines, Zenith). And I believe it is because they realize their clasps are sub-par and hope we as buyers will buy because of the looks and not because of the wearability (or lack there of). Design better wearable bracelets and then show it on your site. Our wrists are not the same size. That is true comparing one wrist to another AND comparing one wrist to itself over time. A micro adjust is crucial to good wearability. We want to know if you do this and if you do it well you should market it.

My favorite watch to have on my wrist is my Omega 300MC, and it isn't because of the looks (which is stellar by the way), it is because of the awesome clasp, with its tool free adjustability. Yet there is next to no fanfare on the Omega website on how awesome this adjustable clasp is. The clasp alone is what makes it my favorite watch. The IWC Mark XX bracelet is a very close second, for the same reason.

Rolex is the only site that flaunts their Glidelock and EasyLink. No one else really does. The rest of you- Catch up!

Manufactures, we all OOH and AAH over how a watch looks. We wear a watch because of how it feels. I will not wear a watch that fits poorly. I will no longer buy a watch that fits poorly. Please fix this. Many of you are going in the right direction (Mido Ocean Star, TAG Aquaracer, Rolex Easylink, Omega 300MC, IWC, GO, etc), but market it- WE will listen!

>>18139642
>Tfw efv100 has just two micro adjustment options
Why would they do this

>>18139652
Sorry, I was referring to proper automatic watches. Not casio shitters.

is a rolex explorer 36mm considered dressy enough?

or will you get laughed out of the office if you show up with one?

>>18139687
Nobody cares what watch you wear

>>18139687
Normies don't really care for them, if you want someone to say something like...

>wow cool watch is that a Rolex?

Then probably go DJ, DD or even OP of any size. Don't go with the boring black dial though, people like popping color. If you want to impress watch enthusiast without breaking the bank then go EXP1.

Fixed up the vostok

>>18139694
I had someone ask if my Hamilton was a rolex. Nobody that isn't entrenched in watches knows or cares what a rolex is. It's just a name.

>>18139625
That's what we get for ending WW2.

>>18139501
A lot of rolex ADs literally will not sell you a rolex if you haven't bought anything else from them. They expect you to give them a certain amount of business before granting you the privilege of giving them even more money for a rolex. So, yes, in many cases buying something else is cope.

Citizen is better. Seiko is a scam nowadays.

>>18139781
If you're established and have $100k+ in the bank it's not that big a deal to have a rolex and $90k+ in the bank. Even if you just have $50k or so, if you really like watches it's not a bridge too far to get an explorer or datejust.

>>18139805
Presages are nice etc, but they are overpriced for what they are, imo Citizen delivers better quality nowadays.

>>18139944
>I wonder how many people are like that, where they consider any diver watch a "fake submariner"
Maybe not specifically ANY diver, but certainly divers that follow the obvious Submariner design cues.

No one would call a Panerai Submersible or a Doxa SUB 300 a fake Submariner unless they were trolling.

>>18139951
The ISO standards make it so every dive watch looks and functions basically the same. And those standards in large part are based on the submariner. So it's kind of just reality that divers are going to look similar to submariner.

Certina DS Action vs Atlantic Mariner

If you have any sport watch similar price, steel and blue face and 40+mm then I could consider

Thanks

To me, visually, Atlantic wins slightly, do you think there's any longevity or reliability advantage to Certina or Citizen?

>>18139982

I'm on vacation and I used my diving watch for swimming. No babysitting,this mouthfucker is going to have a proper life,some months in and it already has some scratches and a hit.

>>18139993
It's just a tudor bro

>>18139982
I'm thinking about service. Atlantic is some microshitter mushroom brand. It could be gone tomorrow. Certina has been around for over a century and is owned by a huge conglomerate.

Now, servicing a movement or replacing gaskets is trivial for any watchmaker. But if you ever need replacement parts like a handset, dial, bracelet link, crown or crown tube, that's a different story. Microshitters rarely keep a big store of spares around.

>>18140006
And Tissot?

>>18140007
Same as Certina and Mido. All owned by Swatch. It's going to be a well-made piece. Much as the bitteranons whine about Swatch and Richemont, they generally produce a good product and stand behind them with good warranties.

>>18140012
Okay, thanks for the input

>>18139959
I prefer the dial, bezel & shape of the Atlantic but prefer the hands of the Certina. If I were to pick one I'd go with the Atlantic

>>18140020
Atlantic looked nicer to me at first, but round hour rectangular hour marks and circle tracks underneath make it worse for me than Certina or Tissot

I got this for my Tank XL. It's been almost 8 weeks since I ordered it. It will be here today. Pretty excited. Should I get a Cartier deployant clasp, or should I just stick with the one they shipped with it?

A BlackBay. Unironically. Skip all the shitters.

>>18140080
>poor man's Rolex

>>18140089
Nobody mentioned rolex you fucking fanboy faggot. His first mechanical watch should be a tudor. Now go and save up for a san martin and fuck off.

>>18139959
Just buy a real fake Sub.

>>18140093
Tudor cuck chimps out, many such cases. Do you know that Rolex owns Tudor?

>>18140098
Yes
Did you know Rolex is stuck in the past?
People don't buy Rolex for the watch, they buy it for the brand. Literal fanboys

>>18140099
So if you want a good watch that you buy for the watch just buy something else? Oh right but you're too poor for a good above-Rolex watch and you're too proud to wear good below-Tudor watches so you're basically both a coping loser and a poor aspirational gypsy.

>>18140098
NTA but they're sister companies, yes. I like Tudor and their matte bezel. I like the all black ceramic Black Bay. It looks really good to me.

>>18140098
Wtf rolex owns tudor? Damn I had no idea. Wow.
Anyway, go save up for a san martin and fuck off you triple vaxxed cattle

>>18140102

NB1060-12L or literally any Seiko presage watch?

>>18140079
Depends on your budget. I like new Seiko Field watches and their legible dials with arabic numbers. Take a look at their SRPG watches or their 3 new Seiko Field GMTs.

>>18140080
That's what I did. Pretty good choice in hindsight

>>18140110
>Rolex positions them as below Rolex
Because they know Rolex fanboys will pay extra. Reminder that Rolex copies Tudor models that do well
>>18140101
>you're too proud to wear good below-Tudor watches
Says who? I wear Casio's and Seiko's among others

>>18140099
I am unironically looking at buying a Rolex because they have the most dial and indices customization options.

Ahem, consult the meme.

I had a tudor then got a rolex. It's cringe if you try to imply you bought a tudor because it's just as good and you are getting a better price - if that were the case buy a casio.

>>18140117
>Says who? I wear Casio's and Seiko's among others
>implying casio are below Tudor

>>18140117
>Rolex copies Tudor models that do well
Practically all brands copy others to some extent and that's true across all industries too (profitable ideas are always copied) but Rolex is probably the most copied watch brand ever.

>>18140117
>pay extra
Implying that your tudor is not also over priced

>>18140119

>>18140123
That's definitely true and it's the reason why Rolex was absolutely the thing to get twenty or even ten years ago, but now you just don't get much value for your money.

Fair enough, if you want an uncommon combination you're kinda screwed sometimes
>>18140120
>implying casio are below Tudor

>>18140124
Comparatively a lot less. The higher you go the more you're obviously overpaying

>>18140120
It's possible to enjoy something for what it is

>>18140130
Why does the endlink match the lugs so poorly on the tudor & the explorer?

>>18140132
Made in the same factory?

Well well well, do I have to remind you, my little spergs?

>>18140130
That's an impressive collection anon. I love the ALS and the JLC. How long did it take for you to acquire all of them?

Looks like Anon is borrowing someone else's pic.

>>18140138
It's a nice watch. Rolex is a nice watch. The ones saying otherwise are status obsessed with few to no original thoughts. My absolute favorite are the Casio shills, who will never shut up about not needing a (X) brand watch because of reasons. They constantly remind you they have enough money for (X) watch but don't buy it because they're not status chasers or whatever reason. It's not a humble brag, it's a more narcissistic trait than anything. They are the vegans of the watch world. Casino is great. It's something I would wear butchering chickens or mowing the lawn. It has it's place, and I appreciate that.

I'm currently selling off my collection and just keeping a luxury watch, a citizen diver, and a f91-w. It's a bittersweet feeling. I'll come back to the hobby when I'm older. For the time being I'm just gonna enjoy watches from afar. Not my picture.. just some autists collection that I found.

Which Citizen and which luxury watch?

>>18140173
Here's my citizen reference EO2028-06L. I love it and find it hilarious that the japanese classify it as a womens watch. I'm the anon that has posted his h. moser & cie a few times. I refuse to post an entire collection because I don't want to be an avatarfag. I'm selling off a few rolexs that I own and am getting more than what I paid for them. Gonna roll the profit into something else because I feel like keeping an account full of fiat currency is a joke.

>>18140177
Take the gold pill

>>18140130
Tell me those tudor hands are gold.

>>18140182
Tell me they're brass

>>18140181
No, I have gold already. The price of it is way too high to buy currently. Platinum and palladium aren't bad right now if you're interested in precious metals. I buy silver weekly.
>>18140182
I'm a fan of this new /wt/ meme

>>18140177
I know the feeling, anon. I bought tons and tons of watches for a few years and honestly got a little bored with watches. I started ignoring the calls of "Oh my god, you need a travel watch!"
Over the last year or so I've been selling mine off and keeping only the few pieces that are special to me.
By the time I'm done I'll have my Blancpain, my VC, and my Garmin.

>I refuse to post an entire collection because I don't want to be an avatarfag.
Don't worry, that's not what avatarfagging is. You're not just blogposting and adding a picture so that everyone knows it's you. You're posting a picture relevant to a direct request.

>>18140177
>and am getting more than what I paid for them.
I love how no one on /wt/ has ever sold a watch at a loss.

>>18140196
I've sold watches at a loss before. Notably my old tudor 1926. It's not difficult to get your money back with a rolex, friend. Something that the militant anti-rolex crowd does not like to talk about

>>18140196
That's why he's keeping the VC and bp

>>18140201
>That's why he's keeping the VC and bp
I thought he was keeping a Moser?

>>18140201
>That's why he's keeping the VC and bp

Your bitterposting notwithstanding, those are some pretty nice watches to keep, regardless of their re-sale value.

>>18140208
He'll be left with those and the Garmin
>>18140209
It's a dig, not bitter
I absolutely respect someone who buys what they like irrespective of retained value.

>>18140177
>Here's my citizen reference EO2028-06L.
Very clean, anon
>>18140164
Why the F91W over slightly more expensive similar watches like the AE-1200WH or a GShock instead?

>>18140213
I'm the moser anon, I think you have me confused with >>18140193
>>18140215
Thank you. I just put the citizen on a nato strap because the supplied rubber was so shitty. Oh and I already own the f91-w, I know it's outclassed spec-wise but it is a classic.

>>18139823
well I'm a leaf. taxes are 46K. So I got 104. Then mortgage, another 30K, so I got 74 left. Then utilities, another 6K. 68K left. Then insurance and gas (Rangerover and chevy silverado), 3K for insurance, 4K for gas. 61K left. Then the girls insurance and gas, another 5. 56K. groceries, another 12K. 44K. Then another 12K for general spending. 32K.

So 150K is really 32K after you just live in this shithole country. Then the girl wants gifts, I have a cell to pay for. I own a range rover so 3 - 6K a year on repairs for the fucking thing. It's not as much money as you think it is. Then you got to save for retirement (lol). It's not easy to just buy a 20K watch.

>>18140201
>That's why he's keeping the VC and bp
to be fair, though, it's basically just Rolex that doesn't crater in value.

everything from Tudor to Moser is really cheap on the used market compared to new.

now, if anon is buying used, he might actually be able to sell some non-Rolex watches for a small profit if he is patient and buys the right watch at the right price.

Btw,I like bb58 and not Rolex explorer. Rolex logo is shitty, even the simple and boring Tudor shield is better (tudor rose was a lot better),I orefer aluminium bezel,no crownguards...

>>18140356
Excluding the casio, it absolutely boggles my mind why someone would have this many low tier watches instead of putting the money into a speedy or an OP or something

I asked my wife's initial impressions on watch channels.

Teddy
He looks like a watch collector/nerd/enthusiast. Very passionate of watches.

TGV
Reminds me of stuffy old fashioned gentlemen who would sit back in a leather chair discussing politics while drinking brandy. A chav trying too hard to prove he's not a chav. Shitty moustache.

Archieluxury
Some crazy incoherent nut who just likes to ramble and spout things.

Theo&Harris
Far too serious and just keeps talking and talking. Would make you bored in less than 5 minutes.
Dresses and looks like a dad who picked up a hobby outside the family.

Ben's watch club
Looks like Voldemort found a hobby. Voice doesn't match the face. Looks kinda neo-nazi.

Nico Leonard
Looks and acts like a used car salesman. Sounds like he regularly visits pubs and rants abt bs. Probably was the class clown.

Just one more watch
Dresses like a children's program tv host. Talking to the audience as if they're children. Looks like a laid back dad.

The mad watch collector
Another children's tv host. Looks like one of those old time 40+ adults movies would cast for teen roles. Looks like an energy drink consumer and someone who argues on reddit with people. Manchild.

Andrew Morgan
Sounds like a history/fact channel narator. Straight to the point. Good talker. Not a flashy guy, genuinely interested in watches.

His writing is superb and his jokes and jabs are quite funny. He's literally (he admitted being influenced by him and it shows) the Jeremy Clarkson of watches.

>>18140422
Can you list the ones who do make their own hairsprings? Of the top of my head i can only name two, Seiko (they literally make everything, they should have been called ACME) and Moser.

>>18140506
Hey Andrew, you try way too hard. Not every line has to be sarcastic or a pun.
>>18140493

>>18140509
I was lead to believe Rolex makes everything in house. Do they not make their own hairsprings? They have a proprietary hairspring.

>every line has to be sarcastic or a pun
He literally writes like Joss Whedon.

Saw this Zegna watch today, beautiful piece but crazy expensive.

Is there anything similar in style out there that I could cop for a few hundred bucks, if not less?

Reps and so on are fine too, can't see anything on geektime.

>>18140513
Just because something is proprietary, doesn't mean they name it, it just implied they own the IP.

>>18140519

What classic Braun watches are worth buying on the used market, and are any of the "made in Germany" re-issues worth biding for?

>>18140280
I want to buy that too. Do you think 260 eurobucks would be OK?

>>18140513
Well technicqlly they probably do, pdactically they just bought the various companies that made components for them. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

>>18140393
>Speedy...

nice watch,but it is rather boring and probably would not look very good on my wrist as I prefer smaller watches and speedy is 42mm and look like a dinner plate in wrists similar to mine. I also not the type of guy wearing chronographs,prefer divers and simple watches.If I buy a chrono it will be a Poljot Okeah because is a fun looking non swiss compact watch.

And Rolex... I don't like rolex watches, at least not the modern ones, I find Submariner a bloated watch compared to what it was in the past,Oyster perpetual is rather bland, I find anything special about that watch. I liked Explorer,but not the current one with applied numerals,I liked printed ones.

I like shitters because I value the overall look, the feel,I can stand a bad movement if the watch feels nice on the wrist.I am not a brand whore or someone who want to boast,I bought the black bay 58 because Tudor is a solid brand that can probably repair my watch for many many years and wanted something new as celebration (first kid).

>>18140405
That's real, my bb58 is my most valuable watch,but I don't feel it as something so superior,it is just a watch,same as others, I feel no remorse leaving it for some chinese watch or some of aga4my Casios.
>>18140410
Casio Royale offers a better value,it has a chronograph, countdown timer,several time zones and digital+analogic time display,also its light is sweet with a bright amber colour.

Yeah, it's really fucking annoying. But at least they make a version for everyone, I guess. It just makes it hard to talk about it because people just say "speedmaster" and you have to assume they mean the professional with handwind hesalite man on the moon lore shit, but you could be missing a watch that's almost totally different. I saw a speedmaster reduced the other day that has 12-9-6 subdials that were black and red triangles like it was for a knight from medieval times or like it was a Sith lord's watch or some shit. Totally different from the usual speedmasters.

Why do you buy watches? I heard recently that people who buy "unnecessary expensive" watches are just doing it to show off or typically have bad motivations for it.
Personally I just like the way they look and fit with the rest of my clothing. But what about you guys?

He shills shitters (like Squallleeee), pretends to be an aristocratic but humble man of the people, and is so far up his own ass that he does not realize how retarded his musings on the profound nature of watches are. He is a total fag, with no honesty. Everything with him is for appearences. Look at him on his first video with Tim from watchbox. His ignorance and stupidity is laid bare there. Tristano wears a signet ring, how pretensious, and a memento mori ring. It is ironic, because you'd think that a constant reminder of his moratility would inspire him to do more with the countless hours that he spends slobbering over date windows, but no. What a dissapointment. He caters directly to insecure middle and upper middle class faggots who think of themseleves as having 'taste' and 'class'. Where taste, of course, means buying an SKX. I have no problem with Seiko, I just hate how Tristano diefies them. He preaches no judgement, but then ridicules fashion watches. I don't like fashion watches either, but I also don't pretend that seiko's and such are the 'patricians choice'. I was one of these class obsessed cunts once, and I am glad that I have been cured. I would much rather have a beer with Paul Pluta than Tristano. Paul is a flawed, but at least he attempts honesty

Wanted something new,reduced is discontinued,but the thing is extra price/chronograph/size is not really for me. X-33 is cool indeed,but I wouldn't pay what they ask for it,same with that telemetre speedmaster.

But then,how would yo react if someone told you that your omega were not in the moon?,it would be just another chronograph.

No,it is technically far better than my other watches,you can sense it in the movement and accuracy,you don't feel the rotor at all,if you try to wind it/change time it is really smooth,the polished angles are really well done, the bracelet is really solid,thr clasp quality is there,and it runs at +0,3s/d. But as I said,some watches give different feel than others, that's why I like shitters with different designs or shapes.

He's a fag, but is there anything actually wrong with any of his positions on watches he reviews? I don't know if he "deifies" affordable brands but I think we can all agree the money you'd spend on a quartz Gucci mall shitter would be much better spent on a Seiko or Hamilton or something. And there's not a single thing wrong with Squale even if his stink is associated with it.

I think that we can say that, because of the quality or whatever. But, at the end of the day, people can like what they like. Since watches today are accessories, it is really is just down to what people like. So, I think it is wrong to look down on people who just like a fashion watch or a diamond rolex, even if it is not your taste. When Tristano makes things about class, he makes what should be an innocent hobby a gay class competition. Imagine deciding on your favourite tv show based on what's 'classy'. It goes hand in hand with Tristano's underhand pretensiousness, which I what I don't like. But, you're right about Squale. I might be chimping too much lol
