In your mind.

Is what way does it not mog tudor?

>>18164561
What is inside?

>>18164559
Putting a dive time bezel on a gmt watch is actually pretty retarded when you realize in order to use the bezel for timing literally all you need is the arrow/pip and everything else on the bezel is irrelevant. It would actually be more functional if it was a gmt bezel, especially considering it has 24 hours on the chapter ring so yoi could track 3 separate times in theory if you really needed to do that for some reason.

>>18164564
The basic GMT bezel is completely useless, you will never need to track 3 time zones, >>18164563
with the dive bezel you can at least have a 60 min timer

>>18164568
Stop reading with your ass, i asked what movement is in this shitbox and i will inswer myself, its ETA while Tudor has an in-house manufacture caliber.

>>18164571
>Hydroconquest GMT now comes with 43 mm-diameter black dial, with the exclusive Longines GMT calibre L844.5

Which is ETA A31.L01 , yes.

I think we've discovered the cause of Finncel's gyno: it's all the coffee.

>In addition, you should increase your intake of foods that are rich in zinc, such as chicken breast or spinach, while decreasing coffee consumption since it can raise your blood caffeine level. Having high blood caffeine levels is known to affect reproductive hormones, including testosterone, leading to increased estrogen levels over time.

>>18164585
ETA is as much as in-house for Longines as Kenissi is for Tudor.

>>18164568
Gmt bezel also provides a 60 minute timer. That's the point.
>you'll never need 3 time zones
Until you do. Some people do. Actually, for pilots it would be excellent since you could have the gmt hand set to gmt, the time for home on the 12 hour hand, and the time for wherever you're flying to on the bezel, and you could quickly turn the bezel between flights.

>>18164590
Does rolex own kenissi?

>>18164590
It just isn't. ETA and Longines are two completely different companies which just happen to be ownder by the same parent group, Kenissi was launched as part of Tudor.

>>18164593
>Does rolex own kenissi?
No. Kenissi has an ownership group of which Tudor is one. Chanel, Breitling, and some other investors are also owners.
Rolex does own the land that the Kenissi factory is built on, though.

>>18164593
No, the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation does.
>>18164595
Doesn't change the fact that Kenissi is still a separate company which also produces movements for Cartier, Breitling etc

>>18164601
This conversation is so fucking retarded. It is still established by Tudor. It is like AMG for Mercedes. AMG might sell their engines to other companies but it's still Mercedes.

Post wristshot.

I think Rolex is a really nice watch. And the more basic the model the nicerer.

>>18164742
The Tudor is real, the baby is actually a counterfeit.

>>18164742
I guess so,bought it from an authorized dealer, haven't opened it,but I can sense the movement feel is good and the timekeeping is almost perfect at +0,1spd. I know people love to hate Tudor,but this watch is nice.

>>18164761
>+0,1spd
Unreal..
Quartz bros, how do we respond?

>>18164765
>Quartz bros, how do we respond?
I don't feel very good at the moment.

I just got word that Rolex will no longer service my OysterQuartz though they gladly serviced my mechanical DateJust that's 10 years older.

I guess I'll just sell it and take comfort that the current price is about five times what I paid for it about ten years ago.

>>18164694
126610LV

What are people’s thoughts on Citizen Attesa / Seiko Astron? Are they worth it for an everyday wear watch or way too much ($600-800) for essentially a basic quartz watch with atomic timekeeping?

>>18164799
Do you buy things for other people? Why do you need to know their thoughts? Can't you decide for yourself if you like it or not?

>>18164761
It's much more than 40%, since the law requires you to spend 60% of the money making the watch in Switzerland, you can count the R&D and marketing money and make the watch entirely in another country and still have the term Swiss Made.

>>18164707

>Longines Pilot Majetek
Thoughts?
I'm thinking of getting these, I love how they look but I'm Czech so it has also a special meaning to me. They were used by our fighter pilots in WW2 (or, the original version of it, of course). I know it's just marketing but it makes them a bit cooler.

>>18164826
Man i love pilot watches but this is ugly.

>>18164826
Alternatively, I was thinking of getting a diver and this green OrientStar 1964 caught my eye
I like divers with interesting dial and the only other nice ones are super expensive (Omega, Grand Seiko...)

>>18164827
Maybe it's not your style but literally *ugly*, really? Are you trolling?

Anyone have any experience with the Sparc MGS?

>>18164826
I thought in 1939 Czechoslovakia spread its asscheeks and let Hitler do what he please. Turns out you had pilots.

>>18164826
If it has a special meaning for you, then get it. Personally I too think it's ugly. Too large and thick.
Why don't you buy the original one? It looks so much better and the price is reasonable (3,5k on Chrono24).

New strap arrived!

>>18164837
Nice strap
Throw the watch away

>>18164814
He posted the same picture again (spam) and mods do nothing about it.

>>18164832
Yes, our pilots went to UK and fought with RAF, they were one of the best and got famous. Maybe you should educate yourself more about history.

>>18164836
I think it looks very similar... I'd rather get some new watch

>>18164844
So why didn't they stay in their own country?

>>18164847
Because in order to actually fight Germany, they had to leave and fly with RAF. If they stayed here, they wouldn't be able to fly since they would get killed on the ground or jailed. Not sure if you're aware, but the West basically sold out my country and so it went extremely fast, any defense would be useless.

>>18164826
Dial is too small and there's too much metal around it.

>>18164837
Very nice

>>18164837
Very unpleasant

Bois help me out. I want a watch with a nice deep, rich blue dial such as this. A couple of days ago i stumbled upon Heron Marinor, the picture of which will come with the next post. And it is a fantastic looking watch, but i don't think the color is blue enough, despite it being called Atlantic Blue. What do you think?

>>18164863
And this is the Marinor in question.

>>18164648
unfortunately, it's mine
>>18164759
I don't have a bulova. instead, as a catlova

>>18164865
I should mention there is also this version, the carribean blue, but i think it went too far.

>>18164865
I like it, very deep blue, will probably come alive in the sunlight. Is there a way for you to see it in person?

>>18164668
Has basic boctok lume gotten better? I've got a lume dial one and it is useless.

>>18164666
I like how you think

>>18164871
Impossible, they are in Canada and i am an EU cuck. Also i don't think they have a showroom at all being a microbrand.
And also i have watched a number of review videos and got this one shot in the sunlight, but in all of the other situations it looks really dark.

Citizen Eco-Drive on the wrist today.

>>18164829
At least get the other OrientStar diver, cheaper, same movement and doesn't look like a Submariner homage

>>18164891
I already have blue Orient watch, this looks way too similar blue color :P picrel

>>18164865
Fuck it looks so grey.

>>18164893

>>18164896
Holy sciense! Is that a power reserve indicator?
Absolutely based.

>>18164891

There's really two kind of divers.
>obvious Submariner homages
>Submariner copes trying so hard not to look like a Submariner

>>18164899
>divers that aren't trying to imitate the Submariner are akshually Submariner copes
Bruh moment

>>18164896
it's quite nice but I think I still prefer the green gradient version I posted. actually the limited 1964 edition (silver bezel with white dial) is also very nice. Why don't you like it?

>>18164898
>Is that a power reserve indicator?
Yeah, almost every OrientStar has a power reserve generator, it's their gimmick.

>>18164878
that sucks, testing the watch on my wrist is my deciding factor. maybe gather more screenshots and photos as much as you can. you may also wait a few more months when new reviews are out, or maybe check the official product shots, which should be color corrected by default, and compare it with all the 3rd party photos you've gathered.

>>18164906
>Ukraine flag colors
based, fuck Putin

>>18164906
This is the official shot.

watchbros, explain yourselves

>>18164903
>Why don't you like it?
It's double the price of the other OrientStar diver, while having the same movement, I don't like it as a value proposition, that's all.

>>18164914
THE MULLER

>>18164911
yeah, that would be the actual color, then the dial glows a bit brighter under sunlight while the bezel seems to retain the default atlantic blue color. checking at your yt screenshot, you may also check the other angles under the sun to verify.

>>18164911

Who cares if it’s inhouse if it performs the same?

You have ten seconds to justify not buying a fake watch.

Richfags are forbidden from replying to this post.

>>18164937
There is no justification for a fake however there is for a homage.

>>18164937
I got one, brand fanboys can cope and seethe if chinks can make something you can barely tell apart your watch isn’t worth 10000$

>>18164937
Can't be serviced, so you throw away the money. Also, there is no feeling of satisfaction or accomplishment in wearing fakes

>>18164937
L O N D O N, and you will still get stabbed wearing a rep.

>>18164943
>Can't be serviced
Wrong.

>there is no feeling of satisfaction or accomplishment in wearing fakes
There's the satisfaction of strapping on a watch you like. The only difference with a real watch, if you can actually afford it and don't just have bad financial priorities, is the satisfaction of knowing you're a richfag.

>>18164943
>Can't be serviced
Oh no i cant give a watch company a bunch of money for no reason
>pride and accomplishment
That you buy?

>>18164944
You win. You have justified not buying a fake watch.

Can you guys help me identify this watch?

>>18164948

I have two real Rolex. Explorer 1 (modern) and GMT Master II Coke (neo vintage). My next one will be a Sub 5513. I'm also considering a modern Datejust in the near future. I'm probably the biggest Rolex shill in these threads.

DO IT ANON. BUY THE FAKE.
Once you get it, immediately go to a Rolex AD and ask to try the watch you just bought a fake of. Handle it for a bit, play with the bracelet and the bezel. DO IT.

>>18164972

I'm not sure anon. Maybe a nicer bezel twist and bracelet feel is worth $10k if you're a richfag and the money is nothing to you. Don't 4 and 5 digit bracelets feel flimsy compared with anything modern though?

>>18164980

X is the average of values
D is the delta between the highest and lowest values
DVH are tmin/max tolerance rates between dial up+down.
Di is dial up

>>18165071
It's all a bit technical. The most important thing to pay attention to is the delta it tells you a maximum change of 5.7 s a day. That's pretty good.

I’ll look that up too, but just out of curiosity how do you know so much, I wasn’t able to find any of this in my research of the piece

A few weeks back in a jewelry store I was looking at some GMT watches, they had Breitling and some other brands, and the lady selling the watches said something so stupid it didn't even register to me how stupid it was in the moment but remembering it now I can't get over it.

What kind of strap would you wear on a 38mm crhonograph?

>>18165521
any certified watchmaker (not the mall guy) should be able to handle it. it depends on the model, but swapping in a brand new movement might be more economical than getting it serviced tho.

Do other people use ali express or temu unironically? like it isn't a complete scam? Or is the trick they're "selling my data" that no one can explain why its valuable to me?

I've just never bought from them before

>>18165543
Because that's the time frame of new releases. Rolex is a master at marketing.

>>18165554
Dunno about temu, but Ali has been around for a while. While prices has gone up, it's still a good place to buy cheap junk. And chi-fi equipment

>>18165550
couldn't read analog

>>18165554
All the fat chicks at work brag about buying cheap stuff on Temu. Ali express is a marketplace for technophiles to buy things for cheap that they will never use. Neither group has a moral compass so the only thing that matters to them is price.

>>18164555
Why does this thread hate bittercel so much? He is unironically the best poster we have ever had. Here's my reasons:

bittercel is always brutally honest. He is like water, he will find a crack in your watch and pour in from there. He is the criticism we need. You never get that in watchuseek or reddit, you only get an echo chamber of “nice watch, wear it in good health, champ” bullshit. Not with bittercel, he does not care for your feelings which is why he will tell you the truth. Yes, your watch is too big for you, yes it’s a shitter, yes the lugs look like shit, yes the movement is crap. You, as a critically thinking individual, should embrace this.

We are all protected by anonymity here which is the point of this site. Avatarfags are pathetic going against this. Take reversocel for example; he couldn’t handle a bit of heat from bittercel and immediately fucked off to r/watches as soon as someone wasn’t sucking his cock over his shitters and pens lmfao.

Yes, bittercel may seem bitter at first, but he is the counter force to all this circle-jerking in here. He is harsh but fair. You hold the fact he never posts a watch against him, but that is merely him not taking a side. He is not a brain-dead fanboy to brands (other than Rolex, but Rolex is Rolex). This way he maintains his unbiased position.

And the best part of bittercel? He is always there for, right here, in this thread.

>>18165558
>>18165562
I've seen some youtube clips being honest about Temu, its the same chinese junk on amazon, but shipped direct instead of going to amazon to add on 2 day delivery and the familiarity of amazon. That $2 watch strap is on amazon for $9.99, clearly because amazon has so much surrounding it to make it much faster than temu which makes sense.

People are shouting that temu sells your data which is how its so cheap, but amazon sells data too?

>>18164863
Check out the blue citizen fujitsubo, shit is quite blue and has the same movement as the baltic but with better materials at about the same price.
There's nothing quite like the blue on that baltic though, its really nice and I don't even like blue dials.

Friends, we are entering a new age in watchmaking. A boundary has been crossed and new horizons are now open to us :
Sinn has updated its website layout.

>>18165587
who needs to defeat retarded a "point"

>>18165609
It's a beaut. Runs well, about +2 a day. Solid watch, gorgeously shaped, sapphire glass all around the case, a bit chunky, heavy too, but I wear it on the bracelet so that adds some too. Not that I'd want to take it off. If you can get it on a bracelet, do it. One of the best Omega's ever made.

Asking again for some more info.

Chrono24 or ebay for buying used?
In this instance what I'm looking at has a lot more seller options on chrono and better prices compared to ebay. 5000usd area, and assuming I'm only buying from dealers with good feedback history.

Which is safer or offers better buyer protection?

Do I just go with the lower prices on chrono? Or is it worth the extra to go via ebay?

>>18165626
Forgot to add I'm looking mainly at Japanese dealers for shipping outside US.

>>18165336
that doesnt look cool at all, it looks like someone barfed all over your wrist. It looks like a watch for 9 year olds. If they weren't expensive people would laugh at them. They are ugly as sin.

>>18165658
yes. The more hands on a watch the better obviously.

A GMT WITH A POINTER DATE AND THEN ADD ANOTHER POINTER THAT TRACKS THE POWER LEFT BY GOING CLOCKWISE AROUND THE WATCH AND THEN ADD A CHRONOMETER HOLY FUCK BOYS IM CUMMMMING

>>18165699
Watches should have more hands than shiva, sir

>>18165699

>>18165712
This is beyond retarded

>>18165712
You forgot to draw in the chronograph subdials.

>>18165716
The hour hand too.

>>18165716
Fuck. Ok well it's implied.
>>18165722
no hour and minute hands are there, the two black ones.

>>18165712
I wonder if you could kind of make something similar to this work if you used only 2 24 hours hands rather than a 24 hour, a 12 hour, and a minute hand. Like one of those stupid 1 hand watches, but with complications and an actual purpose to reading the time off of one hand(that purpose being cleaning up what would otherwise be a really cluttered dial.) So the watch would have the indexes for the hours, hashmarks for delineating what the minutes and seconds are, and for hands you have
>a 24 hour hand for local time
>a differently colored or marked 24 hour hand for a different time zone(both hour hands could be designed to physically overlap seamlessly if traching another time zone isn't necessary)
>Chronograph seconds hand
>the usual 2 or 3 subdials for small seconds, minutes and hours
You could track the hours and minutes in 2 time zones using only 2 central hands

>>18165733
It's not implied, it's actually really important to know where the subdials are supposed to fit in this and how many subdials there are.

>>18165739
No you don't get it, we want as many hands as possible on the watch dial. You are going the other way with your suggestion. We want more hands, not less.

>>18165744
Actually instead of sub dials we could just add more hands, I like this

>>18165746
But if we find ways to have each hand multitask that can justify adding more hands.

I have added more hands

>>18165751
ok I guess I didn't get it, I thought you were eliminating hands.

added 24 hour tracker with its own hand.

isn't 24 hour tracker the same as gmt?

The pinion on this thing is going to be an inch long. Also you forgot moon phase.

9 hands.
