/fa/ - Fashion

I am totally new to /fa/. This is my first post here. I want a watch badly. I don't want it to be too large, but I want a metal link band. I can't afford a $300 watch, but I would spend upwards of $100. Something along the lines of a Fossil, but you know, not shitty. Durability is the main concern as I lead a bit of a rough and tumble life. So durability, not ostentatious, metal band.

>>8269143
Timex/Casio/Orient/Seiko - all of them have a lot of cheap&good watch. Don't buy a Fossil, it's a chinese piece of shit.

>>8269143
>something along the lines of a fossil

there are literally thousands of fossil watches

My daily wearer.

I want to cop this but, I have no clue what strap I would get.

i wear this and its cool

>>8269143
Don't get a Mako. I was bored with it within a month. Basic as fuck to the point where it hurt.

>>8270271
i dig this

wadup

would anyone be so kind as to help me identify this pocketwatch? no serial number can be found on the outside, and only the letters ZLN are visible. i have no experience what so ever in the watch business, so any insight at all would be great.

thanks

>>8270317
proooobably a chinese fake

>>8270266
why no magnified date ? or is that a characteristic of the sea dweller?

>>8270266
Nigga stop lying, you can't afford that shit. Silly fuccboii.
>>8270271
Looks like something you find on the floor of goodwill.

>>8270879
Sea-Dwellers don't have a date magnifier to give them a distinction from the Submariner model.

Other wise they would look too similar.

>>8270890
Not everyone on 4chan is poor.

>>8270266
Impressed if true. Post on wrist with timestamp

Looking for an all gold watch i.e gold face, gold band etc. Desirable characteristics being slim, durable, fairly small face

Current watch

My Omega Geneve '74.

>>8270266
Nice. One of the few Rolex I like.

thinking of copping a watch, not into the whole plain face aesthetic and liking the submariner thing

i dont have a few stacks to spend on a watch so in the meantime im thinking of copping the orient TT11001B

is there another watch in the sub 300 price range that i should be looking at?

thoughts on the TT11001B? pic related

humiliate me. taking orders mache alles

>>8272165
plz stop posting the same watch over and over. we get it, its a fucking patek that your pops had to save up for.

nigga u aint impressin nobody.

Pierre Junod Short Index.

Wearing this till I have enough money on the side for a Louis Erard Regulateur.

>>8272170
Don't forget he got it because he got into his first choice university, and he can't wait to flaunt his ugly ass watch to everybody

>>8271758

>>8272144
Thanks. I think they started fucking up when they introduced the Maxi-Dial and the ceramic bezel. The new watches look like toys.

>>8272165
Dude....that patek as fucking fake as fuck. If it is real you should have used the money to buy clothes instead.

Considering buying this tomorrow unless someone wants to talk me out of it. It's $250 or so.

>>8272212
Not too bad, even though I am not a fan of roman numerals.

>>8272212
It looks alright, although I'm not a fan of the roman numerals.

>>8272219
>>8272222
wow

>>8272222
>>8272219
Roman numerals mind.

>>8272212
looks meh, wouldn't recommend

maybe because I'm not a fan of the roman numerals.

>>8272277
>>8272219
>>8272222

Well, shit. I like it because it's thin and minimalistic but the blue keeps it from being too plain. Now that you mention it the numbers are a bit lanky.

>>8272317

> minimalistic

No, it certainly isn’t.

>>8272317
>minimalistic
I don't think you know what that means.

On another note; is there any watches that looks good on a black guy?

>>8272358
>>8272372

By minimalistic I mean doesn't have a bunch of shit around the bezel and a bunch of extra numbers and dials on the face

>>8272372
Yeah. A Rolex 16610.

this one is sexy as fuck

what do you guys think?

>>8272415

>>8272415
>>8272420

They fucked up the lugs and it is no longer elegant.

The 5970 white dial is the best they have made to date.

>>8272372
Something that's stolen.

can somebody tell me what model this is

i know this is a calatrava but dont know what reference it is because never seen one like it before

THOUGHTS? I like the dial but have doubts about the spherically curved glass.

>>8272420

>>8272509

thats cute :3

what do you guys think of the gondolo ?

Why is it so hard to find an understated, slim, mechanical watch with arabic numerals (none of which have been replaced with a date display) and an uncluttered dial?

>>8272165
I dislike the way the dials overlap the hour marks, I dislike the shape, I dislike the way the third dial is inconsistent in not overlapping the hour mark.

>humiliate me. taking orders mache alles
Place the watch on your shoe, place the shoe on your head, post pics.

>>8272427
looks like a custom or classic. could be a REALLY good fake

>>8272694

>>8272733
That's pretty close, I'd prefer the date to display the day number only and a different typeface for the numbers and a white dial, but pretty good.
How much are they?

>>8272716

i think its fake because patek dosent do custom watches

this watch look like a 5127 and 5227 combined

>>8270266

>>8270317

Omega doesn't put made in Switzerland since 1882 on their watches.

Mostly because they were founded in 1848

>>8272764
Didn't even notice that.
Laughed hard.

is the calatrava the best dress watch?

>>8272761

dude let him have his fun. people post fake watches almost every watch thread. if they enjoy it who cares?

should i get this for a sports watch?

would cost me 2500€ new

postin mine

really need to start wearing it more

>>8272869
It's very pretty.
I love it, but I will unfortunately never be able to afford it.

>>8272897

how do you like the yellow gold?

>>8272896
jesus, forgot pic

>>8272883
I have one. Very pretty. I replaced the steel band with a NATO one just for the fuck of it

>>8272899
Also very nice, but I like the other one better.

>>8272883

id keep looking

>>8272504
visodate is a good entry level auto

spherical sapphire crystal makes it harder to smash and almost impossible to scratch

>>8272761
Dude, the font and the Swiss Made text changes between serials.

My Z-series is from 2007. It's genuine.

I'd get the black face or a planet ocean.

>>8272869
there are literally hundreds of this type of watch for 50 times less

>>8272883
Speedmaster is way way better.

>>8273058

yeah but its not a patek dough

where could i buy the exact same watch?

i love this one so much

I prefer my 8 quid Casio

>>8272761
You do realize that some changes are made to the dial over a span of 20+ years, right?

>>8272694
HMT

>>8270879
>>8271549

As I understand it, the reason the sea dwellers do not have the cyclops is because it is glued on, and at the depths it is rated for, It would pop off.

>>8273874

Thinking about buying a new watch, whats the general consensus on Skagen?

thinking about copping these 3, any comments or switches?

Neither are "elegant", the dial is too busy and looks like a sports watch.

>its the best one!
>that conflict of interest

>>8273989
don't buy all three and use that money for one good watch.
What is the style you are looking for?

>>8274094
something casual i guess, also automatic because it pleases my autism

>>8274109
A seiko diver is about as casual as you can get, you get dress it up too if you wish. Good quality and should last you years.
Steinhart's OVM has an very reliable ETA movement and should be in your budget. They also make good pilot watches so check it out.
Seiko SARB065 is slightly more formal but pretty.
Tissot LeLocle is a good entry level option.
If you want to save money go for that new Swatch Sistem or whatever its called. Not my thing but it seems popular.

If you like the look of divers there are some more I can recommend.

>>8274136
all too dressy, and dont like the seiko diver, what are your opinions on chr. ward's diver?

>>8273983
Shit

>>8273989
I like the Visodate but that's it.

>>8274156
Alright, how about this?

>>8274149
When I bought the OVM it was a toss up between that and the CW. The only reason I didn't go for it was because I preferred the domed crystal of the OVM. I think you'll find that the CW offers more eye-candy (the OVM is fairly utilitarian in aesthetics) plus it has more original design cues.

I really don't see how you could go wrong with buying a chris ward diver.
Have a look at Helson and Armida while you're at it. If you want a watch with genuine diver pedigree then have a look at DOXA, they are actually tool watches and not "dress divers".

>>8274169
I like the more "classic" style Seikos like the SARB033

>>8274173
Come to think of it suggesting DOXA was a bit silly of me, it's way over budget. Got carried away with the suggestions, my bad.

>>8274173
>>8274195
>tfw my uncle suggested rolex
>he knows i cant afford it

thanks for the help tho, i will look more at the OVM

>>8274186
That looks really nice, but I'm on a budget. I don't own any "nice" watches and was hoping to find one around $250. Any suggestions? Maybe the SNE039 or the SNQ007? Nothing too busy.

>>8274227
I have a rolex sub, the OVM, and a vintage citizen dress watch my grandpa used to own.
The OVM definitely holds its own against the sub and can take a beating.

>>8273989
>>8274230
Actually, why are you buying 3 watches at once anyway?

>>8274275
I'm not >>8273989, I'm >>8273983 and >>8274169 and >>8274230.

>>8274275
>>8274280
damn, sometimes id's are a good thing..

anyway, i mainly just want the privilege of being able to use different watches at different times. had a seiko which recently was stolen and used it everyday for like one and a half year.

>>8274230
>>8274309
also, i liked the SNQ007 better than the SNE038

>>8274326
I don't wanna keep spamming the thread with posts like "How about this one?" so would it be easier if i just threw all the ones I'm currently thinking about in one big picture?

>>8274337
if youre meaning the skagen, ive heard bad things about its movement and generally dont like it. would rather recommend a orient in that price range

Should I get the Speedmaster Racing Co-Axial or the OG Speedmaster Moonwatch? They're both about $3500.

>>8274368
Moonwatch all the way. Theres a reason Omega produce the same watch today that they did all those years ago. Classic design, excellent history and looks great with the hesalite crystal. NASA approved if you care about that kind of thing.

>>8274394

I love the history behind the moonwatch, but something draws me to that grey dial with the yellow accents.

Is the co-axial movement anything special or just good marketing?

>>8274461
Depends who you ask, some people say its just marketing and that there is no real difference in accuracy or service time between co-axial and non co-axial movement.
However from what I remember you can get the speedmaster in co-axial as well.

I think its best if you tried both watches on in person. I would consider this a purchase to last me years so I would ask myself if the bold stylings of the Racer will still appeal to me in 10 years?
But I do see what you mean about the yellow accents, I was quite drawn towards the Omega 15,000 gauss. Didn't go for it because I saw the novelty of the colour and bumblebee hand wearing off after a while.

>>8274461
The co-axial movement is interesting from an horological perspective but it isn't anything that the consumer would really care about. It reduces the friction on the pallet fork stones, reducing overall wear. The point is somewhat moot since watches with traditional escapement that have been around for decades to centuries can still run with proper maintenance.

>>8274280 here. I think I've decided on what I'm going to get. Opinions?

>>8274309
Well keep in mind the Seiko 5 can't be hand wound, so if you take it off it won't tick. Not sure about the Orient.

>>8274486
That's much better. Link?

Unless you're really into racing or cars just stick with the regular.

You mean the stones already made from hard as shit sapphire, or friction wear on the wheel teeth? Interesting.

Nothing pretentious. Just a properly simple and well built watch. Appreciate any replies.

>>8274309 Did you ask this guy if you could have your stolen watch back?---->
>>8272372

>>8274771
How much is "entry level price"?

>>8274771

>>8274885
Do you have one? How is it? Can you hear the winding mechanism when you move your wrist?

>>8272165
getting a fake patek is a disgrace to time pieces in general

>>8274917
No I don't, but I'm going to get myself one and I've heard nothing but good things about it. It's like a hundred dollars or so, so for the price I don't think you could complain.

I hear it's pretty loud if you pay attention to it yes, again that's stuff that I read. The leather band that comes with it is supposedly shit but you can always swap it out, even for a NATO band if you want (pic related, i like how it looks). Seems you can dress it down a bit, I never dress very formal so I hope i can make it work with some more casual outfits.

So yeah just a suggestion, if you don't mind the fact that it's a bahauss homage watch and not "the real thing", then it should be good. But then again the Bahauss one is a LOT more expensive than this one.

>>8274954
It isn't a fake. I got it as a gift from my father for getting into St. Andrews.

>>8274959
why didn't you say it was your first choice university? :/
I'm disappointed...

>>8274957
>a bahauss homage watch
All modern bauhaus watches are homages.

>>8274959
Why the hell is that worthy of a crazy expensive watch? Everybody gets into university, I got unconditionals at Glasgow, Edinburgh and st andrews, my parents took me out for a meal
Fuck your stupid rich dad

>>8274865
Perhaps a few hundred (200) at most ideally. I know little about the market value of watches and at what price they start to get notably good.

>>8269053
Who else SNK007 in here?

Does anyone know if there is anywhere, I MEAN ANYWHERE you can buy the old Casio MVD102 "diver" watches? I know they were discontinued around 2011 but there's no way the supply has dried up completely, I mean they're fucking Casios.

Honestly, I only want one because they look awesome, cost next to nothing and have those LED lights that can be seen from space.

I checked eBay and some jerk is selling one exactly like pic related for $200.

Help me out here guys, there's gotta be somewhere I can find these...the 106 just isn't the same.

And yes, I'm too poor to afford even a Seiko, but at least I'm making an effort here.

>>8275120

that must be mighty comfortable

>>8278352
Nah mate. That's not true.

>>8278359
Alright, enough with the whole small =/= minimalistic. What's wrong with watches that are large?

>>8276908
Duly noted.

>>8278372
nothing. it's the fact that you're saying anyone wearing a "small" watch is a minimalist or has a weak wrist. also you have shit taste in watches so that escalated the whole discussion.

>>8278372
They are very gaudy and have no style.

Example.

Nice generalization m8

My favorite one is the one with the white dial. I barely wear the casio diver on the right, way too big for my skinny arms.

>Nobody has a wrist for a watch over 43 millimeters.

sounds like somebody's jelly of Ahnold's 60mm Zlatoust

>>8278446
Ahnold is a god amongst men. He can do as he pleases. For the rest of us, stick to under 43 mm.

>>8278439
Like all of them except for the seiko 5. Jesus christ its so ugly it hurts. I will never understand the appeal of that piece of shit, no matter how hard I try.
Gotta agree, the one with the white dial is pretty handsome.

SKX007 and 013 (the same but smaller) are god tier cheap watches if you go to most watch forums. Safe bet <$200, good quality, change the strap and it could pass for a watch x10 pricewise.

Good cop.

>>8278457

Yeah I've pretty much grown out of the Seiko 5. I wear it every once in a while to change things up but it just doesn't have the same allure anymore.

http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/MARINE-38,583.html
Minimalist and affordable. Has an ETA movement and a domed crystal. Fantastic value for money.

>>8278742
i have a seiko forget witch one and a burberry also a pleb Ferrari that i got for christmas and a collection of vintage omegas and seikos
i see that they stole my watches as a new beginning to really focus on buying quality watches instead of pleb watches

>>8277657
I find Uniform Wares to be really shitty in the design category, it's obnoxiously minimalist at the same time as the palettes are 'quirky' and it just reminds me of a more pretentious version of something a 2011 peacoat-wearing dick would buy.

That personal bit of distaste aside, I have no idea if they're actually good watches, aside from a hunch they are since I don't think mrporter would stock them otherwise, and I do like the fact that their design allows for them to be worn casually or as a kind of semi-dress watch.

>>8278694
Between the yellowish dial, the roman numerals, and the day and night display on the date wheel, it looks like it's trying way too hard for a 'vintage classy pocketwatch wow so victorian steampunk cool' look. Come to think of it I think the knob and the single binding to the strap also contributes to that. Basically why is this trying so hard to look old

>>8278383

You've redeemed yourself. Never seen that dial and bezel before. More info?

I've been wanting to get an Amphibia for months now, but there are just way too many options and I want most of them. I've got a thing for the 'radio room'.

>>8277328

JLC Reverso or nothing IMO.

>>8278945
Why? Who knows? It appeals to my sense of aesthetics.

>>8279080
Cousin of the Amphibian, a rare Vostok Neptune.

Aside from vintage Radio Rooms, Meranom has had some nice modern ones. I love the new black dial, pictured, but the 110 case isn't great. I'm hoping he offers it in some other cases soon. The 420 special edition is a nice alternative, I love the unique bezel especially, but the dial isn't as catching.

Thanks Anon, I'm the guy who asked this...it looks like Javy's has an order form of some kind, and it doesn't look like anything is restricted or out of stock, but I'll have to be certain about it.

I'll do some digging and post the results if I find anything good.

Why not just get a cheap watch that looks pretty much the same without the brand? No one's going to see that small little Rolex sign, and even if they did, you'd be increasing your chances of getting mugged.

Save money on stuff that actually matters if all you want to do is loo effay

>>8279117

Never heard of it, cheers for the info.

I've had Meranom bookmarked for about 2 weeks. I keep looking at them but never 'pull the trigger'.

Speaking of radio rooms, I've been looking at pic related for quite a while. I started off with this one, then I found out about the much cheaper Vostoks.

Still torn. Maybe I should get the Smiths and then a regular scuba dude.

>>8279130

Sent in an inquiry, thank God they accept Paypal so I don't have to send them my credit card information, recieved an automated reply saying they will get back to me as soon as possible.

Looks like it's legit, and according one Watchuseek thread, they even have 90's model Casios in stock.

>>8279148
That's cool I didn't know about that one.
Vostok might be considered more authentic with the design, since they also produced the ship's wall clocks with the same design. I don't know the whole history. Vostok Europe also produces a few radio room watches, but much different looking than these.

The one I pictured above is not considered a special edition, so it's as cheap as the regular Amphibians. It's just that the case does not have curved lugs so it sticks out somewhat unless you have large wrists. Something to consider.
Meranom sometimes offers free shipping. There's also a small discount coupon code 'wus2013'. Last, if you order with rubles the price is cheaper after conversion.

What do you guys think of the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage 42?

I know a guy selling an almost new one for a good price and I was thinking of picking it up.

>>8279224

Beautiful. Green bezel is my favourite iteration though.

If it's cheap, go for it.

Damn they were quick.

I think I'm gonna go for it, what the hell.

I spent $90 on a relic watch with a head a little darker blue than what's posted. It fits well and feels nice.

How badly did I get ripped off? I just needed something to wear for the first few weeks/months at work before I can afford something nicer

>>8279451

Forgot picture

>>8279418
For that just wait for another to pop up on Ebay.

>>8279451
$90 isn't much for a watch, but even a Seiko would have been better.

>>8271899
Join the club

>>8279418

Don't do it. Really. Unless you have lots of disposable income you will have spent almost $300 on a $42 watch. I sold mine for $80 a year ago.

>Not a single Panerai

Muppets.

>>8279952
I used to work in a coffee shop right in the CBD under a mining company. There's this old rad exec dude who comes in every day always wearing dope shit and looking good for his age.

Leans up on the machine to chat one time and notice he's wearing a Luminor Marina and I was just like.
"Is that?..."
He just smiled and nodded and we talked watches for a bit and then he left. He let me try it on the next day.

Sometimes I miss that job.

>>8280099
>>8279952

Panerai will be much cooler in, say, 10 years when every single movement is in house.

Right now they're charging way too much for slightly decorated 6497 movements on the base models. Suckers getting suckered out of their money.

I've got a Swiss made watch with a 6497. I paid $500. The few thousand charged is not proportionate to the quality you're getting.

>>8280147

I should add that I really like the look of Panerais, I'm just disappointed with the pricing on their base models.

>>8279952
sweet replica

Broke college kid reporting.

Can anyone recommend a good cop for my next watch? I'm looking to save up a bit more this time (just bought the Fossil as an impulse buy when I needed a watch other than my G Shock - which I only use for fishing and snowboarding, don't worry) maybe spend around $300-$400 and preferably with a leather band. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Pic related is what I wear now, it was pretty cheap.

>mfw I actually get compliments on this from other plebs

>>8274959
lol ignore all those jealous motherfuckers. plebs they are. I give you one good advice, sell the watch and buy an audemars piguet.

>>8269053
Got into my first choice uni. Going to St. Barts for fall semester. Father got me this patek so I wont talk about the years of ritualistic sexual abuse he inflicted on me. What do you guys think?

So how large is your wrist, and what size watches are you wearing?

I have an 8 inch wrist and I rarely wear anything larger than 41 millimeters.

>>8278742
I've been wanting to buy this for a couple years now. I really thought I was the only one who paid attention to these watches.

How much should I be looking at then? I'll have a fair bit more money next summer after my internship, but obviously not enough to cop a Patek or IWC or anything.

>>8280544
>>8280547
>>8280558

lel, I'm not like legitimately poor, I was just using that excuse since I had a shitty Fossil. I have plenty of money for my season pass, food, etc. but I want a new watch as well.

>>8280471
>>8280531
>>8280535
But what do you guys think of my watch? The first time I posted my PATEK PHILIP everyone gave it a lot of compliments?

I'm just looking for someone to point me in the right direction, not hand me a specific watch to buy right now.

>>8280569
Hmmm, I mean I could, but I'm not sure how good of an idea that would be for someone my age. I find it extremely hard to believe that there's nothing decent for under $3,000.

>>8280580
give us a budget to work with.

>>8280568
You want an honest opinion from someone who is seeing the watch for the first time? I think it looks hideous personally. Very reminiscent of a cheap casio but in metal, and kind of looks like it comes in the bottom of a "Wheaties" box. The only redeemable factor is that it's expensive. At least if people talk mad shit about it, you can always brag about how expensive it is I suppose...

>>8280588
Not terrible, but I don't like how busy it is. I'd prefer something a little simpler. Thanks though.

>>8280590
Not very firm, but preferably under $900

>>8280568
The Nautilus is a very beautiful watch, but you sadly have the worst dial configuration. It is unorganized and ruins the elegance.

>>8280596
Tissot Heritage Visodate is a quality Swiss watch. It has a workhorse ETA movement, but overall its a well thought out and put together watch. It typically retails for around $500 usd.

>>8280580
>>8280596
Don't listen to these idiots saying to drop more than a grand, there is plenty of neat shit far below that price. If you're still in college you have nothing to prove yet with a luxury watch.

Get anything above the mediocre quartz fashion brands like Fossil. The average person won't know the difference, but you'll have something that will hold up far better and longer, indefinitely even. Even watches of the same price range but manufactured by actual watch companies with some history will be better than the fashion stuff.

The money you're saving just means you can get also get several watches to better match more fits. Get something nice for a dress watch, then a few more casual watches to wear whenever. Also remember straps are dispensable, so buy the watch you like regardless of the strap it comes with. You can then buy several straps to further stretch each watch's potential.

>>8280620
Seiko is also a good alternative to these, simple and smart dress watches.

Can I sport a watch with a blue dial?

Show me that movement son.

>>8280418
Germans offer the best value for money in pre-luxury price points.
Steinhart offers a great divers range with ETA movements which is great for people who don't fancy a Seiko or digital watch.
Sinn offers possibly the sturdiest ETA tool watches and are priced extremely well between £1-2k. In fact the only question at that price point when it comes to tool watches is whether you should go for a Tudor and get something you can dress up.
Apologies if I've missed any out.

I was thinking without date as well but I guess I can't have it all.
