Watches are not hats

>>8019062
Watches are fucking autistic and gay. When will you faggots realize that girls wont fall in love with you because you are wearing a watch?

>>8019420
>girls wont fall in love with you because you are wearing a watch?
we know this, dumbass

>>8019420
>girls wont fall in love with you because you are wearing...
the end of this sentence is irrelevant

where do you think you are?

>>8019539
What's the point of watches? Why do people buy these stupid things.

>>8019556

Have we really sunk this low here?

>>8019556
We like them

What's the point of asking such inane questions? You could easily hide or ignore the thread.

>>8019567
Where do you think you are? If I dislike something, I will force my opinions on other people.

>>8019556
1. obviously to tell the time
2. they are curiosities. go to a fine watch store, the intricacy of the designs is fascinating at such a small scale.
3. form of expression just like any other things you wear

>>8019420
oh look, the no watch guy
wait, i think i know, you use your cell phone to tell the time, how original
the only problem that your mobile is a piece of shit even if it's iphone 8 in 56k gold while watches are masterpieces

also idk what kind of girls you dealt with until now, but most ladies will always appreciate a nice watch on you, it can be that she can't tell the difference between a $500, a $5k or $50k watch, but still
accept it or not, watches draw attention and you can express wide variety of things wearing them

i'll be always grateful for cell phone manufacturers and that a lot of people have the same plebeian idea as you, less competition for us, watch owners

>>8020768
w2c?
how much?

Is this watch too gaudy? I'm a in school for mechanical engineering and like the gear design on the outside and the the exposed guts. It's only $20 so is it worth a shot?

>>8020862
Nope

>>8020779
Seiko A914

check ebay. you could get a used one for around 50$. a new, unworn one would cost 200+$ and even higher if you have the original box. i'm thinking about selling mine, but its a gift from my grandad.

saw this posted in another thread,

what kind of strap is recommended for diver watches like this one? is the traditional metal band ever ok?

>>8020896
>traditional metal band ever ok

Only if you want it to look chunky af.

>>8020954
Get the casio f91w its has a stop watch digital display

>>8020888
too much more a digital
shame

>>8021045

>>8020871

Nah m8, I'm hairy and pale, my dad was half italian, and my mom is french. Could be he just has a weird gene mix.

>>8020954
NATO straps look chunky and awkward to me because you of how you have to fold them.

>>8020862
It's a cheap mechanism, if you're in mechanical engineering, you'd regret it. Lurk a little around watches to find something that you'll genuinely like instead, or just buy a cool vintage if you're really worried about the price tag. m8.

Also a lot of automatics have display backs, like the inexpensive seiko 5 snk809 which is universally acknowledged as the best price to value affordable watch.

>>8021516
haha you mean the one on my wrist? I read the sticky and did my research, that's my everyday casual. I'm looking for a placeholder dress watch until i can pony up the cash for a proper dress watch like >>8021308

>>8020896
I find leather on divers wrong, and you shouldn't be wearing a diver to formal occasions so you shouldn't need leather anyways. I'd stick with metal of various bracelet types which will look best for somewhat nicer occasions. Mesh seems to be a nice alternative today despite what guy above says. Stick with two-piece nylon and canvas straps if you don't like NATOs, and rubber or silicone if you're trying to dress it down further.

>can't wear seikos or chinese watches because it would be too stereotypical

good thing I can afford swiss

bought them a couple days ago

>>8022690
Better.

which band material is the most aesthethic?

>>8022773
depends on the watch.

>>8021450
So wear leather.

also a new kind has come up, "cork" that looks amazing in the photos I've seen. It's not like the brittle cork you know like those in a wine bottle that is pressed shitty bits, it's higher quality and treated to be soft and durable.

>>8022951
I found this, but thanks http://www.watchobsession.co.uk/collections/view-all-straps/21mm

>>8022966
For higher end look at Shell Cordovan, Gunny straps, and maybe Hadley&Roma

>>8022973
ive always wondered how aged shell straps would look. anyone got any pics?

>>8022973
>Gunny

just found my grail strap, damn thing is discontinued

>>8023067
don't know if I should get 22 or 20 mm though for a 21 lug

Mondaine Giant.
Anyone have any opinions on Mondaine? I know its been asked before but I'm still undecided.

>>8023612
Forgot pick.

>>8023615
Ikeacore

>>8021308
That's a million times better than the one he posted

>>8023769
yeah pretty sexy

>>8023580
22mm, itll squeeze in, or you can shave off a hair with a razor/knife.

Looks better than a gap for sure

>>8023936
ok cool, I don't know if this is the right colour though http://www.watchobsession.co.uk/products/hirsch-rivetta-calf-leather-watch-strap-gold-brown

what do you guys think of uniform wares' straps?

http://www.amazon.de/Boccia-Herren-Armbanduhr-Titan-Sport-3773-01/dp/B003MR0SSC/ref=pd_bxgy_watches_img_y

i'm looking for something similar to this but a little higher quality would be fine.
any suggestions?

>>8019170
You only live once, that's the moto nigga yolo

Do smaller watch faces look silly on people with big wrists?

>>8028540
Not at all. In fact, big watches (42mm<) look goofy on everybody.

>>8028727
that's just because they wear it wrong

>>8028785
wat

>>8028785
whoever that is needs to lose weight

>>8019171
So you can b like me and say things like
"Fuck u cunt I have a ROLEX!!!"

>>8019171
Who gives a shit what other people think.

Most people wouldn't even know a Rolex when they see one.

What's the watch that's most attractive to grills <150 euro? Currently wearing a silver casio a168 illuminator.

>>8019420
>Fashion is fucking autistic and gay. When will you faggots realize that girls wont fall in love with you because you are wearing clothing?

>>8029089
Depends on the girl but they generally like Swatches

More commonly they don't give a shit

>>8029131
those do look good, I hope they fit my 6 inch wrist

>>8029160
It'll fit fine, they're not big

I want to cop this one but I need to stop buying quartz watches. Going to get one of those Sistem51's when they come down in price.

If I had a few bob to spend on a minimalist watch, what would you watchbros recommend?

>>8029227
how much is a few bob?

>>8029229
As much as necessary.
Got a pretty sweet job, I've been going through my wardrobe and clearing out and upgrading things. Figure I should get a pair of watches next up.

>>8029240

Well, obvs not the big outliers on the top end. I'm not one of the hoi oligoi.

>>8029240
this might help you

That chart is still missing modern middle-end swiss.

Rolex, IWC etc.

>>8029182
post collection pls?

>>8029411
Alright, I'll take a picture now but I don't have anything special

>>8029411

>>8029089
>attractive to grills
><150 euro

choose one

>>8029227
Tissot Visodate.

>>8030659
This is about the only Tissot I like, I love the design and the logo is beautiful

have you ever noticed that literally every watch ad has the time set to 10:10

>>8030843
Yeah, guess it's just the thing to do. I'm not really sure why, never looked into it but I guess it's something vaguely to do with OCD.

How does Mondaine be go from Swiss Railway watches to this garbage?

>>8030885
Fuck that's awful

I really like the snk809 but then again I think I want something similar but more expensive

suggestions?

>>8030871
Or that it doesn't obscure the logo or the dials.

>>8030843
It's usually more like 10:08:36 because at 10:10, the hour hand is just a bit too far from the 10hr marker to have good lateral symmetry.
There's a reason for that: it frames the face of the watch well, displaying any subdials or complications the watch may have. It's also supposed to look as if the face of the watch is smiling as opposed to the upside-down version of this configuration that displays complications equally well but looks more like a frown.

>>8030902
they're based on ww2 german pilot's watches.
if you want to spend LOADSEMONE you can just hunt down an original, but there's plenty of modern reproductions and homages as well.

>>8030902
>I want something similar but more expensive

>>8030902
That looks so cheap

When I see a seiko 5
On a wrist that cheap 18mm raf style band, that small diameter polished case and busy face

I just immediately think ....elementary school baby's first watch

>>8031004
I'm a Seiko 5 owner and I kinda agree, but thinking back to when I wasn't a watchfag I remember seeing pictures of it, not knowing what it was or how much it cost and thinking it looked great. It probably just looks cheap to us after a while because we know that it is actually a cheap watch.

>tfw lost my watch

I'm currently saving up to get my grandpa's broken Omega Seamaster from the 1950s repaired

I desperately hope its fixable

Well I've been told I look a lot like Paul McCartney, one time this old lady even told me how I had beautiful eyes and that when she looked at me she remembered being a little girl and screaming for the beatles.

>>8019433
>thinking it's good to intentional inspire nesting-lust in women

Enjoy heartache, dumb piece of shit

>>8031299
You completely missed the point. I was saying that impressing girls isn't the reason to wear a nice watch. Go back to /r9k/, prick.

>>8031333
r9k'ers would probably want to do that kind of shit, because they don't know any better

>>8030827
I prefer the white version, but yeah it's lovely.
