How fucking stupid and useless is a tourbillon in a clock that doesn't have positional variation

Newfag here. I bought this watch for a present for a coworker, she's 25 yo normie. Is it a good choice? I think it looks pretty enough but idk

>>18143339
My friend zoned lad....

>>18143339
Don't buy gifts for women who are not family

>>18143337
The whole point of tourbillon is to compensate for lack of positional variation. If anything tourbillons in wristwatches are stupid and useless because your wrist moves all day.

>>18143350

>>18143347
Don't buy watches as a gift period. If you insist on buying them a watch give them a budget and let take them watch shopping, that way they can pick the watch THEY like.

>18143352
Retard.
Tourbillon were PRECISELY invented to make pocket watches or standing clocks more accurate by counterbalancing the effects of gravity on the escapement.

Kofe time.

>>18143360
>Can't even reply to a post on 4chan
>Thinks she knows how a tourbillon works
Lmfao kek!

>>18143325
If ypu have more than three (3) watches you should kill yourself, now.

>>18143392
The fact tourbillons were invented 100 years before wristwatches were even a thing prove I'm right, retarded nigger faggot.

>>18143392
The anon you’re quoting is 100% correct though.

>>18143405

Should I get a Seiko 5 srpd diver, or a san martin tudor homage? I really want a dive watch for not so much money, seiko has the brand name but san martin has the specs.

>>18143427
You should get the san martin but not the tudor homage. Also
>seiko has the brand name
That name is the equivalent of dog shit smeared on the dial.

>>18143356
I think it can be cool to get for example groomsmen matching watches, you don't have to go too expensive so it's not a big deal if they don't end up wearing them much.
I saw someone get like 6 Duros for example

Beyond that yeah it seems like a not so ideal choice for a gift unless it either comes in a bundle or it's something like handing it down to a son/nephew/little brother/junior etc. when you upgrade yours

>>18143405
Well give me three (3) types of watches I should have in your opinion then. For me, I think a dress watch, a dive watch and a third your choice watch which could be a smart watch or a casio. I don't like Casios though so I'm getting a Marathon JDD as my third watch.

>>18143431
>get the san martin but not the tudor homage
Scratch that, get this one in bronze, they are magnificent

Speaking of chinese and magnificent, i really really like this spinnaker.

Ramen Time.

>>18143427
The only advantage brand name has is when it comes to getting it fixed.
Don't be a slave to a brand, every brand makes good and bad products

>>18143434
Nta but a fancy dress watch you wear seldom, a sports watch or a sports/dress hybrid for casual day to day wearing and a digital watch with additional capabilities like timer, stopwatch, alarm, etc.

>>18143502
No I have more than three (3). It's just that I understand that 3 is actually ideal

>>18143505
Four is ideal
Beater
Dress
Sports
Diver

>>18143514
Beater and sports distinction is not needed

>>18143516
Beater can be any type really, but usually it’s a sports or diver. What I mean by beater is something less sophisticated and less expensive than the rest of the collection, sometimes it’s appropriate to wear something like that.

>>18143505
>>18143514
Ideal is:
1 grail
1 affordable grail
4 daily watches in rotation
4 divers
2 mechanical chronographs
2 dress watches (one being inherited)
2 beaters
1 weird funky one you wear once or twice per year to confuse people.

Can you shoot that with the gun on your wrist or will the watch die?

>>18143514
99.9% of people don't dive

Why do people take stupid photos of their watches where they throw in random paraphernalia? Like that anon who went around collecting every single expensive thing from their parents' house, and then put it all in one photo with their parents' Vacheron?

>>18143514
>>18143523
My ideal is:
1 sports watch (can be a Garmin or whatever)
1 daily minimalist
1 going out watch (that i'm actually confortable getting stolen)
1 proper dress watch
1

All you need is a Rolex.
Datejust, Explorer or Submariner.

>>18143539
What if I want actually good watches?

>>18143535
I know, and people wear pilot watches while not being pilots. I just like the general design, and I have swam in the ocean and a lake with a diver, and the extra WR is a nice thing to have. The timing bezel is useful too.

>>18143541
>still seething at Rolex supremacy
ngmi

>>18143537
Can't you take a guess?
I would say that it's just people showing their lifestyle together with their choice of watch that's supposed to fit said lifestyle. There's a surfer anon that actually uses a diver beater as a daily while surfing, for example.
Others just want to show what they have. Lexus owners usually have a GS for example.

>>18143546
Lexus and GS mentioned----

>>18143545
They look good, but not for me. I prefer field watches with bead blasted case, day/date window at 3 o'clock and arabic numbers on the dial instead of dots or batons.

>>18143549

get the SRPD53. Forget what the others say. The watch feels like a million dollars. San China costs the same btw. I don't know why people pretend suddenly that Seiko doesn'T make God-Like divers.

If you own more than 2 watches and one of them isn't a rolex your retarded

>>18143631
you're*

>>18143356
A matching set of Cartiers is pretty kino and something I would consider. As if any woman is going to complain about getting a santos or panthere.

>>18143621
that yellow gshock is genuinely the ugliest watch I've ever seen and has the same strap/bracelet as the least comfortable watch (also a gshock) I've ever worn
I would genuinely pay you to take that thing off so I don't feel its negative energy

>>18143631
if you own a rolex & it wasn't passed down to you, you're retarded

>>18143637
I love yellow gshocks.

>>18143637

>>18143639
>if you own a rolex & it wasn't passed down to you, you're retarded
If you inherited a watch and all you got was a Rolex, your family is poor.

>>18143665
Well to be completely honest if your family didn't pass on a watch made by Abraham-Louis Breguet himself, you're a poorfag dumbass nobody and you will never amount to anything in your life no matter how hard you try, you fucking peasant.

>>18143671

okay, here, have some shitter poorfag watches to talk about
I'm thinking about which of these four to pick up (black dial for top, brown dial for bottom left)

>>18143405
I agree that three is the ideal. One formal watch, one hardy sports watch and one more generalised watch you could wear with anything like a datejust or whatever

>>18143717
Agreed.

The most basic rotation of this style would be a silver dial Datejust, a black dial No-Date Submariner, and a yellow gold Tank Louis.

Depending on how you dress you might be able to reduce this a little further down to two.
If you rarely, if ever, get dressed up, you could be fine with a Submariner and a Datejust (then upgrade the DJ to a DD)
If you rarely dress very casually, then you could be fine with the Datejust and the Tank LC (and maybe upgrade the Tank to an HH-level dress watch)

>>18143687
Hans Wilsdorf didn't have kids

Would you go for a Rolex oyster (thinking purple dial) or a tag Monaco (blue dial)?

Can someone help me id this watch?

So many lies in one post.

>>18143742
Okay, I'll just write this down for you once, pay attention, kid.

Watches are one of the few accessories/jewelry that men can traditionally wear. A man needs a watch to be considered a working member of society, getting your first watch when you're a teen is a rite of passage.

Watches are functional precision instruments, they keep you organized and literally on time throughout the day, this is the reason quartz (watches) still exist.

As you progress in life you want to signal your elevated social status with a finer timepiece, something more than a mere timekeeper. In this stage of life time is not essential, you don't need to be in your wagie cage within the second. That is why people acquire, or as I like to say, meet mechanical timepieces. Watches such as Omega, Tudor and Rolex.

In a professional or any environment with affluent males, your watch is your Curriculum Vitae, your rank in a way. People will know you had to go further in life than your average poorfaggot mathlete to acquire a fine Patek for example.

Now I don't know your age, but could you imagine being over 25 and wearing a wagie poorfag incel seething bitter faggot lardass brainlet quartz watch in a serious environment? I don't think so, you'll be giving yourself away as a absolute loser in life and people will think there's something seriously wrong with you and wonder why you're even there with your cheap shitter piece of shit nasty crusty chinese watch.

Trust me, you don't want to be part of the quartz horde. Join the ranks of the men with sophistication and class and meet your mechanical watch. Discard your nasty wagie faggot ass piece of shit computer chip "watch".

>>18143739
Take a fucking shower, you filthy fuck. You look gross. Also, notice the girl's not even smiling. She does not want to be anywhere near you.

I am wearing the The Citizen Chronomaster AQ4080-52A today which is accurate withing 5 seconds per year (+- 5 SPY), it was the most accurate watch in the world before the 0100.
What are you wearing, frens?

Also thinking about drinking whisky today. Should I go for Loch Lomond or Glengoyne? What are your thoughts?

>>18143746
>Also thinking about drinking whisky today. Should I go for Loch Lomond or Glengoyne? What are your thoughts?
Alcohol is for degenerates, so I'll stick to water. But given the state of your wrist, I'm assuming you're trying to commit suicide in a "Leaving Las Vegas" style. I'd recommend drinking Sterno.

The finishing is superior to grand seiko.

>>18143742

You're a classy gentleman

>>18143735
Yeah it's sad there's no actual brands with dials this cool at such a low pricepoint, I definitely like the look of the adiesdive the most but obviously getting a casio is a lot more encouraging

>>18143745
>Also, notice the girl's not even smiling.
Why would she?

Think about her situation: she's basically a slave to some yakuza pimp who is making her give full girlfriend experience to the worst-smelling man in all of Tokyo. She probably thinks about killing herself 24-7.

>>18143750
>The finishing is superior to grand seiko.

You're in a unique position there. Do a twin shot with the 0100 showcasing the finish.

>Who even is whoretadello? Why is there so much shitposting in this thread?
He's a Greek weeb in his 30s who used to live in Germany until his wife left him from his rampant cheating. He is dishonest even by Greek standards.
He got his name because he used to post pics of his shitty watches on whores back in Germany, which led to some hilarious months of him getting banned, evading the ban, and getting re-banned.
A few months ago he liquidated all his assets in Germany and is currently in Japan overstaying his welcome. He's trying to get a whore to marry him so he can get a residency permit and permanently pollute Japan as an unemployed person.

Between his blogposting and samefagging, he probably personally makes about half the posts in a given thread.

Have you ever bought a watch you liked so much it kinda killed your interest in other watches?

>>18143883
Yes actually. I recently bought an ultra luxury timepiece, and the thought of a watch in a lower tier makes my stomach churn.

He was a man of many labels, but none of them flattering. He called himself a Greek weeb, a term that seemed to defy any logical explanation. But then again, logic was not his strong suit. In his 30s,he had already lived a life filled with tumultuous ups and downs. He had once called Germany his home,until his wife had enough of his rampant cheating and left him. Even by Greek standards, he was dishonest, a master manipulator who could twist the truth to fit his own narrative. But his infamy didn't stop there. He gained his infamous moniker from his peculiar habit of posting pictures of his cheap, tacky watches on the backs of prostitutes. This led to some entertaining months of getting banned, evading the ban,only to get re-banned again.A few months ago, he decided to leave Germany for good and liquidated all his assets. His destination? Japan. He arrived with nothing but a plan-to overstay his welcome and find a prostitute to marry him for a residency permit.His antics in Japan were no different from his past behavior. He continued his blogposting and samefagging, trying to make himself relevant in a country that didn't want him. In fact, it was rumored that he personally made half of the posts in any given thread.But as he tried to navigate his way through Japan, his actions became more and more bizarre. He started to believe in his own delusions, claiming to be a descendant of Greek gods and that his cheap watches were actually ancient artifacts from his ancestors. It was clear to those around him that he was a lost soul, desperately trying to find a place where he could belong. But his efforts were in vain, as he continued to pollute Japan with his presence, unemployed and unwanted. And so, the Greek weeb remained a specter in Japan, a cautionary tale of what happens when one's dishonesty and delusions finally catch up to them. He may have left Germany,but his reputation followed him, and it seemed that no amount of lies and deceit could save him from himself.

>>18143880

Honestly my ideal is two. An automatic sports watch to wear every day so you never have to wind it, and a quartz beater to wear when gardening / swimming etc. Maybe a third dressier piece (not even necessarily a dress watch). I could sell my whole collection except for my baltic aquascaphe, casio f105 and seiko alpinist and be perfectly satisfied desu. The rest is just collecting for collecting's sake

>>18143935
Based aoi-san

>>18143935
Seriously though, where does one go from here? This pics feel is that of someone who's at his peak and has achieved anything he wants from life.
Would a more expensive watch be...."better" at this point? This feels genuine and with a lot of soul.
It's like... he didn't find the watch, the watch and him found each other to create this moment of bliss and appreciation of life itself.

>>18143955
Please stop. You're making it weird.
>>18143763
No need. This particular version of the 0100. Isn't nearly at the same level as the GS in terms of finishing. It seems that they went pure engineering autism with it. The steel versions of the 0100 aim more in that direction, I feel. The fancy dial, nicely polished, slightly dressy GS lite direction.

>>18143935

No, your dad was retarded. Big difference.

Actually, that's kinda true. Why the fuck didn't your dad buy a couple rolexes when they were $300 so today he could have $20-50k heirlooms to hand down to you?

>>18143984
They're honestly great watches with unique identity. They could legitimately be the next Rolex.

I saw here once an image of a minimalist seiko, probably light (white?) markers and hands, white dial, black bezel and strap, photo was taken at an angle to the left slightly from the top

Does anyone have it or know the model?

Any Anon insure their expensive pieces?

It’s difficult to predict the future, but mechanical watches peaked a long time ago, and Rolex won the game. They are by far the most succesfull brand. People will be buying the same rolexes (maybe a few new designs) 100 years from now

>>18143996
>Any Anon insure their expensive pieces?
Yes. My collection's worth about 75k USD, so I have it covered as part of my homeowner's insurance. The same with my wife's jewelry. The cost of the insurance itself is only about 20 dollars per year so it's a no-brainer.

>>18143911
I've almost pulled the trigger on one of these so many times, especially now that there's a 39mm option. Not a huge fan of those new colours though.
Does anyone have experience with these?

Anons is it normal for me to not want scratches or dent on my watch?

>>18144118
Depends on what it is
I have a limited budget so I baby any watch that costs more than $1K

>>18144089
$1500 and it can only be a mircrobrand

>>18144089
It depends on how much they do to the movement. With the typical personalization and aesthetic finishing modification the market seems to show you can get $1000-1500 or so, but if youre significantly modifying the function of the movement by adding more barrels and other components or adding modules to create new complications you can ask significantly more for that.

I'd say for a watch with an off the shelf sellita with a solid case back and no frills I probably wouldn't pay much more than $1000.

>>18144118
I'm of the opinion that if you're so worried about scratches that it hinders you, you're better off either wearing a different (either cheaper or more durable) watch or wearing no watch

>>18144118
>Anons is it normal for me to not want scratches or dent on my watch?

The amount of concern you should have depends on the watch, and not just on price. Some watches wear scuffs better than others. Take, for instance, a Rolex Explorer. When those are well-worn, it looks good, like a well-worn pair of boots. Like you used the watch the way it was designed to be used.

By contrast, a watch like a Grand Seiko really only looks good when it's perfect, because its only function is to look sparkly. It looks like trash as soon as it gets a couple of scratches on the polished surfaces.

Do you have a watch you like but wouldn't buy /wt/?
Not much from Sinn impresses me but the hands on the U50/U1 remind me of shiny buoys, but I fear it'd sit in a drawer if I ever got one.

Sure, plenty. Some watches are simply impractical or are not my style or too big or too small, even though their design/construction/engineering may be very impressive.

>>18144236
I agree, much prettier, sleeker, elegant, light... It's pretty much perfect.The speedy is fat and bulky in comparison.

Can someone give me the rundown of Longines as a brand ?

the hydroconquest caught my eye, so strongly considering it vs spending a thousand more on Tudor

>>18144342

>>18144342
>Can someone give me the rundown of Longines as a brand ?
Very old name, formerly a maker of respected watches, particularly chronographs.
They weren't Patek level or anything, but they were definitely at Omega-level.
They suffered badly during the quartz crisis, almost went the way of so many other brands.
Swatch bought them and has been running them ever since.
They still make fine watches, but their quality is frustratingly capped since Swatch's market segmentation strategy cannot allow Longines to compete against Omega. For example, they make good chronos, but not the great thin chronos they used to.

>>18144346
ok thanks for the rundown. So realistically, what would be the quality and general recognition vs the Tudor black bay?

as far as i can tell, there isn't a whole lot of tenable reason why Longines is so much cheaper other than perception

>>18144353
Nta, but I regard Longjeans more highly than Tudor. I think that their Zulu GMT, for example, is a much more interesting design than the Tudor GMT. For me, Tudor is overdone and as good value as people like to say

>>18144395
*not as good value

>>18144395
The Zulu also comes with real gold hands

>>18144395
>>18144396
Same. Tudor's main strength is its relationship to Rolex, which is strictly financial, because Tudor's QC just isn't there and its entire styling department starts and ends with the Black Bay.
It's not like the old days when Tudors actually had real Rolex cases.

It's not the value people think it is.

>>18144539
It's not Patek Philippe, but should work as an acceptable beater when you're at the gym, fixing up the car or cutting grass.

>>18144539
just keep in mind GS bracelets are subpar (no taper and no microadjust) compared to similarly priced watches. if you're ok with that, GS is very nice

>>18144539
Never use macro shots on a GS dial. NEVER. It will forever ruin all the other watches after that. You've been warned.

>>18144539
>is this a good first watch bros
Honestly no.

People who buy a Grand Seiko fall into two camps.
They quietly realize the overpaid for a so-so watch that was hyped by paid shills on social media and they sell the watch, taking a huge hit in the process.
- or -
They cannot accept that they've been rused, they double down and become the screechy cultist who is compelled to shriek at everyone about Sallaz polishing.

Grand Seiko is not the great value, hidden gem that it was a decade-plus ago. It's no longer a value at all. Its flaws were once acceptable because it was such a great watch that could be had so cheaply but now they're overpriced. Just look at the used market or the desperate discounts ADs offer to try and shift products that have been languishing on the shelves.

>>18144549

I'll bite, what are better options that are as stunning and a similar style (aka no dive watches or chronographs or whatever)

I am a virgin and in a financially unfavorable position. Sometimes my predicament evokes feelings of bitterness in me, which are directed towards happy couples and men with expensive watches.
I am looking for an affordable Swiss mechanical watch from a well known brand for myself. Any recommendations?

>>18144560

You argue in bad faith, Whoretadello.

>>18144574
I'm not some avatarfag, I'm just a poorfag that thinks a GS is the watch that I want the most
I'll make it easier for you and simplify it down to interesting dial. I feel like people just make dials that are either too plain or too over the top.
I haven't seen anyone that makes watches in the same style that GS is known for

>>18144581

>>18144581
If you want a GS, do yourself a favor and buy it used, because then you won't lose as much money when you sell it a year later.

Of course. Hell, when I was a broke college student, I bought a G-Shock. It was the best watch I could afford at the time.
If anon calls himself a poorfag and wants to buy a watch that costs several thousand dollars which, importantly, does not have the inherent value retention of many Rolexes*, he's making a bad decision and should be advised against it, no matter how much he likes the dial texture.

If you're a poorfag and want to buy an old Air-King or Oyster Perpetual Date that's not as dumb a buy. Say you buy it for, 2500USD. You can always sell it to someone for about that. It ultimately doesn't cost anything but a few bucks in shipping to learn that you're not that interested in luxury watches.

>>18144596
>If anon calls himself a poorfag and wants to buy a watch that costs several thousand dollars which, importantly, does not have the inherent value retention of many Rolexes*, he's making a bad decision and should be advised against it, no matter how much he likes the dial texture.
Obviously I'm not stupid enough to buy it now. I'm the person that's been shitting up the thread asking about cheap as fuck watches.
I'm just talking from the perspective of "if I ever make it to the point that I can spend that much on a watch, that's the one I want". I imagine I'll never reach that point, but I can't help but wonder why anyone would shit on Grand Seikos when they're pretty universally considered to have amazing looks and finishes. There hasn't quite been any other brand that had so many models catch my eye
Yes, perhaps it doesn't have the value retention of Rolex, but if I get to that position I expect it to stay with me until I pass it on.

On a side note, my dad still has a somewhat old Tudor he tried to sell once to some less than reputable guy who offered him just a hundred for it, I'm interested to find out how much it's actually worth now when he digs it up and finds it again, because I'm curious if Tudor also holds their value similarly to Rolex.

>>18144609
>but I can't help but wonder why anyone would shit on Grand Seikos when they're pretty universally considered to have amazing looks and finishes
Because it's not universal. The brand has fans, definitely, and they are pretty over-represented online. Being a fan of japanese watches and being on the internet constantly seems to go hand in hand. When you get past the dial finishes, though, the rest of the watch is actually quite mediocre, especially for the price, and their bracelets are downright bad.
(And if you're about to mention zaratsu, just be reminded that Casio Oceanus also have zaratsu polishing and they get their cases finished by the exact same shop as Grand Seiko, but an Oceanus costs a couple hundred)

>On a side note, my dad still has a somewhat old Tudor he tried to sell once to some less than reputable guy who offered him just a hundred for it, I'm interested to find out how much it's actually worth now when he digs it up and finds it again, because I'm curious if Tudor also holds their value similarly to Rolex.
It depends on the Tudor. Most Tudors do not hold their value very well. A small number of them, like the Tudor Submariner, do very well, though.

>>18144615
faggot

>>18144609
Is there a single tudor ever made that's in working order that would be valued anywhere close to $100? I'd think you could get at least $1000 for any random Tudor.

>>18144616
Where's the lie though?

>>18144615
>they get their cases finished by the exact same shop as Grand Seiko
You can stop repeating this because it's not true, they do the finishing inside their factory, at least the ones in Shizukuishi.

I can't comment on this, because I don't have a point of reference and haven't gotten to handle one, but I'm inclined to believe you're being disingenuous or exaggerating a lot.

I feel like the fact you haven't offered similar quality options in a similar style speaks for itself.
>>18144624
Yeah I told my dad as much, he immediately walked out when he was offered a hundred. Apparently it was some guy that rents out a hotel or whatever and spends a few days buying up luxury items and collectibles while traveling around, so that already sounded pretty sketchy.
To be fair, dad doesn't have the original bracelet, box or papers anymore

>>18144624
When you try to trade your watch in to a dealer or, worse, sell it to a dealer, they will always give you hilariously low offers.

I was browsing the cases at a Bucherer a couple months ago and one of the salesmen saw the GMT-Master II on my wrist and said, "If you're looking to sell that, I can give you 5,000 cash for it, right now."
I thought he was joking, but he was dead serious.

a fraction? I would chop my dick off if my chinkshitter was actually 100 to 200 times worse than a GS, as indicated by price difference
if it's at least a twentieth of the GS, it's 5 times better value
