That Bamford sky-dweller is definitely not under 5k

Hallo mates

>>9371043

What is /fa/'s opinion on this?

Thinking of picking it up but afraid of bad attention from people, could you wear it with casual clothes?

>>9371156
If you're thnking of getting a replica do not get a gold plates one, it'll look out of place and the plating will wear off.

>>9371161

nah not a replica which is why i'd be a little on edge wearing it around casually

A full gold Rolex sub is like 25-30k USD
You sure you want to spend that money on a Rolex? There's a lot of other very prestigious and beautiful watches out there that aren't so mainstream and milked like Rolex...

>>9371252

What strap would you suggest for my watch? I know it's not a good quality brand so don't start talking about that.

>>9371329
Just keep the leather. Maybe a black instead of brown

>>9371329
What's wrong with the strap it's on? What material do you want? Why do you want to dress up that big fat pig of a watch with a nice strap when you already admitted that the watch is shit?

>>9371329
Jesus christ get a smaller watch please

>>9371347
It's the only watch I have ;(. And I like changing straps depending on the outfit.

what watch is he wearing?

Let's play a game /fa/

You name watch brands and stereotype the typical wearer of the brand

Timex - peasants
Fossil - dumb kids who got the watch for a grad gift
Omega - "James Bond wore this watch"
Seiko - it's technically as good as swiss watches!
Nixon - hypebeasts who saw it on a streetwear site
G-shock - asians and people who work in education

>>9372581
Patek Phillipe - I paid 30k for something that is no better than a 1k ETA watch, but I compensate by learning the brand's history and talking about craftsmanship.

Are Armani watches good?

>>9372892
Is Armani known for their craftsmanship in watches or clothes? There's your answer.

These are the three watches I use
>Inb4 fake breitling

Pls rate. It's my first watch and I got it on bargain for about 40 bucks. I think it's pretty neat for that price range.

>>9374115
0/10.

now I don't want to throw you off-guard or something but unless you're somehow one of these people yourself, this watch marks you as try hard douchebag who goes to clubbings, is all about "pimpin muh car", techno, David Guetta, being a fake wigger and acting all guido, being into dumb bimbos.

Watches from Police also give off that same bad vibe. /fa/ doesn't like Diesel.

that being said, watch brands /fa/ doesn't like:

>every single fashion brand watch and "designer watch", except for Armani (maybe, maybe not)
>Fossil aka Faggil
>Douchesel
>Police
>Movado

add more if you want.

>>9374115
it's absolutely atrocious

what are your thoughts on certina watches?
i can get this automatic watch for about 700 USD. is it worth it?

>>9374115
do human kind a favor and burn it

>>9374193
Certina is up there with Tissot and Hamilton and are just quality swiss movements.

Nothing wrong with them. if you like that watch, get it. personally I just don't like their designs at all. But that's up to you.

>>9374193
certina actually has some good entry level swiss but they're mostly an unknown brand

>>9374232
>unknown

they are hidden gems to be honest and supposed to be really good. Their quartz watches are really good too because crazy accurate.

>>9374092
As an avid collector of high-end pieces I found this somewhat funny; not all were fun but I do laugh a couple of times. Could you also do Zenith, Ulysse Nardin, Oris, F.P. Journe, Longiness, Citizen, Swatch, Bulova, Patek Philippe and Roger Dubuis (probably my nexts)?

Of course, every other anon is free to try in. :^)

>>9374193
If you really like it then go ahead, but I sense you should do a bit of homework and research other pieces around the same price range to make sure to take the best choice. Certina is not bad, but I would prefer Hamilton and also you may find something more interesting in the second hand market.

>>9374456
>>9374092
Btw, as a lawyer,
>but at least nobody could prove it in court
and
>I snatched up the profits on that shit
were just pure gold.

>>9374456
Hey man thanks a little I did it for fun, I personally own the first 4 brand on that list.

Are you the lawfag with the Lange and Journe? If so mad jelly, I wanna become a lawyer when my military officer career is done in a few years. Im still early 20s tho so its all good

As for your requests some of those are so far above my bracket I never even hear about the. I only ridiculed ones I have some knowledge of. To be honest I respect the ultra high end but find it too ridiculed and I despise the resurrected East German brands built on

Pure gold man. Pure fucking gold.

Yes, I'm the lawyer with the high-end watches; Lange, Journe, AP, VC, JLC, etc... From your collection the Glashutte GUB and Damasko were the funniest, but I also wish you could post a pic of the watches, your entire family pic.

Best luck becomig a lawyer m8. It's a great and proud profession amd you'll be happy as one. You're also indeed young enough to start. I'm 31 right now, but was 22 when I bough my first good watch. Btw, I'm sure you can do better with the Lange's and IWC's from your previous post. :^)

Still, I hope other anons participate as well.

>>9374645
Yes, but it is a custom made by a third party house, not Rolex

>>9374092
>>I don't know what I'm talking about nor am i funny

>>9374737
>>9374092

Feel pretty embarrased, I was very set on getting a Rolex I didn't realize there was so many other luxery brands...may look into them more

Could you or someone else please post a list of all the big luxery watch brands if you missed any in your list? I only knew Rolex, Breitling and Tag Huer

>>9374737
Ah thanks man, happy you found it funny.

The only reason any of it is even mildly funny is because I actually am a true watch lover. I like to poke fun, but I love watches too. At the same time I feel the prices of the ultra premium are way out to lunch, I guess it's good for the uber rich but I just can't help but feel they could cost so much less even without compromising horological identity. But that's my opinion.

Here's muh family of watches, the GUB and my vintage Komandirskie are both being serviced by kebab-removers, they might come back joined by a vintage Seiko Panda chrono. My personal favourites in this collection are the Damasko DA44 Black because dat steel and coating and my off-being-serviced Glashutte GUB Spezichron. That isn't to say I don't love my Sinn 856, Steinhart "not a ripoff of IWC Big Pilot guise :^)" and Amphibia.

Honestly, for value for money, I feel Vostok is leagues ahead of everyone else. Their movements may be plebeian, but they're in-house and quality and $80 for an auto diver is insane. Just splurge $20 on a NATO or rubber strap instead of the junk bracelet and you're good.

I myself want to practice law, but no idea on specialization I am considering divorce or criminal. What's your choice? I also feel a litle glad, this is my collection and I AM 22. But maybe you bought an even bigger boy watch at that age lol, I'm nowhere near Patek, though used Rolex and definitely Omega would be possible. Can't say they thrill me; I actually really like Rolex's design but they charge way too much for their product.

>>9374778
>muh feelings
Sorry to trigger you, princess

>>9374785
Actually, Rolex is a good product It's just overpriced for what it is. If you want one, I suggest you go ahead and get it but remember it IS what generic richfags do and they certainly aren't that great. Same time, depreciation will be very low compared to other brands.

>>9374785
My comment got too long.

If you want other brands to consider, including some of the ones I made fun of, for your price bracket consider the following and choose a design that speaks to you:

If you want "dressier" watches (eg, thinner, non-numerals, polished cases, limited water resistance, but fantastic horology)
>High-end Seiko
>Jaeger le-Coulture
>NOMOS
>Zenith El Primero (this single model)

If you are thinking "tool watch" that's high end but also meant for use
>IWC Big Pilot
>Omega Speedmaster Professional
>Rolex is still good in this area
>Different high-end Seiko

I mean it also depends on what you want. If you're a haute horlogerie kind of guy who wants in-house movements and history, you'll want to lean more to established Swiss brands.

If you want HARD USE tool watches made with Swiss ebauches (movement blanks), and with lots of really cool technology, you can't do much better than Sinn and Damasko.

The only company I can think of that tries to do both is Glashutte Original, who make very good watches, but I do believe their sports line is more or less discontinued and more expensive. But they're still great makers.

What does the average person think of a Seiko, Orient and Citizen watch?

forum groupthink is probably making me overvalue them. are they somewhat decent enough to wear around colleagues?

>>9374860
Yes.

>>9374860
>colleagues

What kind of colleagues, how the fuck are we supposed to know what you do?

If you're around people who actually make good money you'll probably look like a pleb.

If not you're probably fine.

>>9374871

To be fair, too, Seiko fits a LOT of price categories. He could comfortably pick any price point and buy anything within it and get good value that wouldn't look out of place.

>>9374875
A valid point, but with mentioning Orient and Citizen, I'm assuming referring to a Seiko 5.

>>9374882

Well then, I mean I think even around richfags you can get away with a cheapish watch. But if you're just Joe Shmo like me anything with a bit of taste is OK. I wear a Damasko, everybody around me oozes over their Nixon or Fossils and doesn't pay me heed but obviously one's an actual engineered watch, the other is fashion garbage sold to plebs.

But I don't give a shit because I wear shit for fun and to make my own dick hard, not to show off (which is the point of fashion watches and largely Rolex)

>>9374890
Yeah I would definitely agree and say any of the watches that the other anon suggested are more than nice enough to make a good impression on the general population.

Who spends 40k on a watch? I'd rather buy a M5 and have some actual fun.

Rich people are weird.

Could I get a fake check on this watch? I know it's a Bamford custom milgauss collaborating with Dr. Romanelli. It doesn't appear to tick but I could always just upload a webm of it moving for reference.

>>9375303

Holy shit are the hands supposed to be scissors? Rolex are tacky as fuck.

Ah, the famed watchmaker Gucci.

Your dad must have been pissed at you

>>9375810
Seiko have a few, can't remember the names. Orient have the mako and the ray, I have the ray and I really enjoy it.

>>9375823
Swiss made means that part of the watch was made in Switzerland, it was probably assembled there, companies use this as a way to charge more money. Swiss movement means the movement that the watch uses was made in Switzerland, chances are it will be an eta movement. And Swiss quartz is a watch where the quartz components of the watch was made in Switzerland. If you are looking at low end watches I would stay away from Swiss and look at Japanese watches

my gf gave me an orient mako for our 3 year anniversary :)

probably gonna throw it on a nato so I could wear it more casually

>>9375901
I wish I could wear those. for my wrist the Orient Mako is just too big and heavy.

I want a 38mm version.

should I cop? first real watch. 24 years old. would wear to work.

>>9375720
Aww are you sad honest? However about we get your?

>>9375853

>>9376655
>u are an autist
No, I'm saying a quartz fashion watch is shit

You won it, cool, turn around, sell it for $50 and buy something else.

If you want quartz then just get a Timex Weekender, or a Casio digital if you want big numbers. Purists might bitch but you can get those.

If you want to watchfag, buy a Vostok Komandirskie or Seiko 5.

If you want to spend more then your options open up immensely. I just personally don't think a dude with a bit of knowledge, seeking a bit of watch know-how, should be wearing a POS like that

>>9376739
To be fair $50 for a fossil is good. You're the fucking retard thinking fashion watch=bad.

>>9376739
I don't care about what brand of watch I'm wearing too be honest, I just want something that will tell me the time without me having to pull my phone out of my pocket

>>9376755
>ugly aesthetics
>shitty movement
>good
There are other quartzes that are nice. It's just he will be able wear a $30 weekender in 5 years' time. That Fossil POS? Not so much. $50 can buy you a much better quartz watch that you can wear longer than that square abomination

>>9376781
yea but dooood u need the swiss craftmanship and the precise quartz movement so you can tell the most accurate time

oh wait, everyone has a smartphone nowadays and watches are just stupid bullshit people buy into because you need some way to show others you have money because of your tiny penor

>>9376796
Too be quite honest, I want to wear a watch because of how I dress,
I don't like looking at my phone too often and whenever I'm wearing a shirt with my sleeves rolled up I always feel like my arms are missing something, so, yeah.

>>9376807
Problem solved nigger, sell your ugly ass Fossil and put any proceeds toward anything you like on this:
>>9371403

>>9376825
Those are Meh,

If the watch is that horrible and somebody takes the time out of their lives to tell me it's horrible to my face I'll consider replacing it.

>>9376843

Then why did you even bother posting in this thread you faggot?

>>9376889

I looked into them and there's like hundred different ones.

>>9376908

It's shit

That is all

>>9376784
Quartz movements are reliable as fuck, no matter where they come from, and fossil uses miyota movements, so fuck off. Aesthetics are a different aspect and seeing as there are literally tens of thousands of fossil and rebranded fossil watches to choose from, aren't a problem unless you're a moron. Stop being a dick and get your won opinion instead of reading leddit 'fashun wach bad' shit.

However, right now I practice mainly Civil, International and a bit of Criminal Law, as I wanted to try something new in my own firm. I'm doing quite well, thankfully. I wish you best of luck in becoming a lawyer and, who knows? Maybe some day will bump into each other at court.

My first good watch was an Oris, bought just a few days before turning 22, but frome there I think I have progressed into higher-end pieces. Nontheless, without forgetting the old loves. For example, ysterday I took an oldie from the banks safe that hasn't seen light in a long time; my happy face. :)

Not entirelly true. I buy 40k watches and expensive pens, and I also collect art and antiques but I drive an ordinary E350. I have been tempted by a gorgeous Aston Martin, but I prefer to spend my extra income in the collections previously mentioned. My house is amother history, tough.

I like it. Lorus is great because essentially Seiko quality.

/fa/ doesn't enjoy them as much though because they make low end affordable entry level stuff for the most part.

But most of their watches have 100m WR and that Seiko-typical day and date window. those are great cops for so little money.

mine, as repost from last thread.

>>9372393

Mirin' watch. You're a hairdresser?

>>9380160
You're simply a moronic fool. I bet you can't even compete with me or some other posters in here, collection-wise. Worst of all, you think your watches entitles you to act like and asshole and mock others here based in what you think gives you a sense of superiority, but is false nonetheless.
I'm tired of your shit. From now on, for me you are just a spambot.

>>9380483
You're probably going to get blasted, but that's a nice looking watch.

>>9380630

>>9377779
How much?

I need some help.
My girlfriend is looking for her first watch. She has her eye on a Skagen Freja in gold because it has a minimal feel to it. The problem is she's looking for an all gold watch, meaning gold dial as well.

Any ideas for an all "gold" minimalist women's watch? Pricerange 100 to 150 euros but she'll settle for lower price as well.

Thanks.

>>9380777

No dawg
Just no
they are ugly and will break fast.
If I had a qt gf I would buy her something nice in rose gold plating. For just a bit above your price range I would look into vintage Glashutte GUB pieces from East Germany for around $200 and which are superb quality as well as in women's sizes and gold plating

If you are set on modern and have few qualms about movements, look at Frederique Constant or Orient and pick one in a good size their rose gold plated pieces are very nice

>>9375901

here is my mako on a nato

also not great watches, they're kind of cheap throw away watches

bought it because didn't have to appraise it and wear something that has a JISO 78 at home and a recurring maintence fee

>>9380854

watches are pretty neckbeard like if you wear them everyday

try not to do that

>>9380856
>watches are neckbeard
You're the one bashing people for wearing fashion watches and supporting muh swiss quality mechanicals, and then you say wearing a watch every day is neckbeard.

Watches have a function. And I use that function. Every day.
If you're talking looks, then OK, I respect your opinion, but why bash on fashion watches?

>>9380836

>rose gold
No.
That shit is reserved for michael kors type of nonsense.

>If I had a qt gf I would buy her something nice
#nice guy syndrome

I just let her get whatever she likes as long as it's nothing obnoxious. The skagen looks inoffensive and is priced right. It's what she's looking for. Neither her nor I are movement autists.

Why would you even buy that horrid watch?
The huge EMPORIO <BIRD > ARMANI logo, with another one to compliment it JUST ABOVE is horrible, and it screams out how desperate you are to have a nice watch.
Regular shits will probably think it's a great watch and expensive as shit, but what they don't know is it's horrible and actually looks horrible to anyone who's remotely known to watches.

>>9381233
>you'd take the house > car > watch 100% of the times.

I posted a Breitling Motors watch not too long ago in a watch thread here. Ended up returning it to the seller because I could see a small water spot inside the watch on the bezel, and the hours hand wouldn't reset to 0. Ended up finding a newer and much nicer condition Motors T with a leather strap + all the papers and box, unlike the other one.

How'd I do, /fa/? Would this be an acceptable color to pair with a charcoal suit?

>>9382117
>46mm chronograph too large for your wrists
>with a suit

The fact it's too big would be enough. Add the fact it's a busy sports watch, and I'd say no.

Well, no for the boardroom or important court cases. With your sports jacket for a night on the town, totally acceptable (if it wasn't too large).

Also
>Breitling
I understand why they get shit on for gaudy design, ETA movements, and marketing to the nouveau riche, however I feel some of their products are OK and, out of all their lineup, you've chosen a decent one. If it wasn't too damn big it would be ok.

Same time, I own one watch which is too big for me and still wear it sometimes, but to each his own.

Personally, if I wanted a $4k navitimer with an ETA I'd buy the Sinn, but that's just me.

Can we make a new thread?

You make some valid points, I do find a lot of the Breitling watches a bit too much, but this one caught my eye. I couldn't resist it, the brown leather and copper face are beautiful together.

I'm a fairly big guy with large hands and big arms; 6'4, size 8 1/2 head, my shoulders span nearly 2 feet. Small watches simply look silly on my wrists.

>>9382247

Well then it looks like you made your mind up, and I agree that dial is very nice, even though I'm not usually a fan of Breitling. However if your taste came in something closer to 44mm with a smaller lug-to-lug I think it would be ideal. However, to each his own.

>>9380470
What this guy said.

>>9380367
Again you prove you have no idea what you're talking about. The Rose Gold Annual Calendar Portugiser is said to retail at $35,000 and the steel blue version I posted is about $24,000.

So where did you pull the 120K from? and it's unreleased to the general public, I know two people whom already have their hands on it and they are taking order.

Besides, the first post is "Fuck I wish I could have that watch edition"

Can't seem to read huh buddy?

>>9380630

If anyone was to compete with your collection all they'd need would be a bucket and then fill it with shit.

I don't think my watch entitles to act like an arsehole at all, but it does it entitle me to call you out on bullshit. Your original posts were not funny and it cried of an inferiority complex. Your subsequent collection proved it since it means that you've in all likelihood never handled any of the watches you're bashing.

So don't get me wrong, I'd love to discuss with someone who actually knows what they're talking about and my definition of that is going beyond reading from the internet and being invited to boutiques to examine pieces yourself.

Now listen to me Mifune. When you were writing this part of your post:

>If anyone was to compete with your collection all they'd need would be a bucket and then fill it with shit.
>I don't think my watch entitles to act like an arsehole at all, but it does it entitle me to call you out on bullshit. Your original posts were not funny and it cried of an inferiority complex.

You weren't answering to the guy with the Damaskus in his collection but to me, the lawyer with the high-end collection and I'm callig on your bullshit.

First of all, YOU DO ACT LIKE AN ASSHOLE and I'm sick of your shitty attitude. When I first came to /fa/ I politely, friendly and rather excited asked you to post a pic of your collection and what was your response?
"lol newfag"

You know what?? I still bet you can't compete with my +quarter million bucks collection.

Second, I enjoyed that anon parodies because I have a sense of humor and I don't validate myself by how much I shit talk here or anywhere else.

And third, you might have enjoyed discussing watches with me, as I'm quite a connoisseur and colaborate with a couple of published magazines, and get invited to Switzerland every now and then to attend to especial courses (mainly from watchmakers) and presentations hosted by the CEO's.

And finally, from the two of us, the one that doesn't know watches here on /fa/ ain't me.

>>9382349

>>9383043
lol

I'm gonna presume he was going for dramatic effort cause I can't believe anyone could be as cunty as that post suggests.

to be fair I was acting like a bit of a dick and I probably should have been even nicer in >>9382727 because having a larger budget doesn't mean you don't share the same passion.

Having money really isn't that impressive, weird coming from me I know, but it's true. Showing off you have money on an anime board just seems to miss the point completely.

>>9383043
Whenever someone posts for example, a family pic, I get excited because I love watches in general, from very cheap to incredible expensive. I'm calling on Mifune's bullshit because he is the one who keeps calling everyone here plebs and ignorants and I fucking sick of that. My watches doesn't entitle me to treat people in an disrepesctful way and every time Mifune visits this threads that's almost exclusively what he does. I'm just tired of that.

>>9383079
>Having money really isn't that impressive, weird coming from me I know, but it's true.

That is precisely the problem Mifune. I never call anyone here rich or poor. Whay would you? Why can't you just be polite at least? Why can't you be kind when someone like me (who isn't looking to descredit you) ask you to, for example, post a pic of what you are wearing today?

>>9383120
> Why can't you be kind when someone like me (who isn't looking to descredit you) ask you to, for example, post a pic of what you are wearing today?

>>9383096
For the record mif helped me decide on a tissot a long while back and he was helpful and polite with a degree of assholery that you'd expect from a fat asian rich kid. I don't remember him calling people plebs but he has an opinion and he tells people off like a little girl when he disagrees. If you have a problem with that you oughta leave 4chan lol

>My watches doesn't entitle me to treat people in an disrepesctful way
I'm sorry pal but judging by your last post where you felt the need to justify how rich you are with your collection and how you're a lawyer just makes you seem like a bigger asshole.

>>9383120

>>Why can't you be kind when someone like me (who isn't looking to descredit you) ask you to, for example, post a pic of what you are wearing today?

that's fair enough, I just can't be bothered because I don't really need to be shoving my money or collections into people's faces and I honestly have nothing to prove here anymore. I don't really mind even if you are "discrediting" me. Since you can't haha.

I'm happy you found his opinons helpful, and that's awsome, if I had had the opportunity I would try to be as helpful as well and I appreciate that in Mifune. However, in my own experience he hasn't been the same at all. And not directly with me, but with lots of other anons.

Btw, I don't want to leave 4chan for several reasons, but in especific to this board, because I enjoy reading what gets written here and also learn from a lot of affordable and quirky watches I didn't hear from before. Cerberus and Alphas, for example.

>I'm sorry pal but judging by your last post where you felt the need to justify how rich you are with your collection and how you're a lawyer just makes you seem like a bigger asshole.

You know what? You might be right, but I just lost my temper with Mifune's general rudeness. I'll try to not let that happen again.

>>9383240
>The integrated lugs looks very cool.
Integrated lugs? Something like the Zelos Chroma has integrated lugs with it's lugless design, this one's just got a barrel style case

>Why did you opt for getting that piece?
I really liked the vintage aesthetic of the piece and was able to get it brand new for a heck of a price. It's super comfy on the wrist and wears smaller than it's 42mm size, since it doesn't have crown guards and the bezel is smaller than the case size.

Plus, I like collecting micro brand watches.

So, does anybody have any opinion on skeleton watches? I think some of them (pic related) can be very understated and cool, some are obnoxious and look fucking stupid.

Any good brands? How is Stuhrling?

My next watch will either be something like pictured or the Bulova Precisionist, if I can find one of the older, less chunky models like anon posted earlier.

Can somebody help me get a lead on that specific model? I'm not having a lot of luck.

>this one's just got a barrel style case
Can't see shit in my phone. My mistake. Still, when I first saw the thumbpic I inmediately thought vintage, specially the second hand so it seems we both feel the same regarding that timepiece. Congrats.

>Microbrands
Beside your family pic, what are your favorites?

>>9371403
Retard pleb here, how do I go about replacing the strap on a Casio Databank like the one in this infograph?

I suck yo' dick for such knowledge.

>>9383363
The thing with skeletons is that, since they are showing the innards of the movement (plates, wheels and scapement) in order to look good at close sight those must be reasonable finish (wich means perlage, anglage, côtes de Geneve, and black polish at least) and that becomes, sadly, very pricey and thus, not really affordable any more. Otherwise, they look a bjt ugly IRL.If you really want a cheap one disregarding this failure the go ahead and get it but you might be just as satisfied with an openheart watch (balance wheel and part of the escapement visible thru a hole in the dial) like the Orient or the Frederique Constant, depending on your budget.

Cheers.

As in, what are my favorite piece/brands of the ones I own, or what are my favs from other brands I currently don't own?

Also for shits and giggles, my nato strap collection with a couple two piece straps tossed in.

>>9383363
Skelly models are kinda looked down on until you get into the real high tier pieces like >>9383411 said, and even so a lot of people regard them as gaudy.

What about open heart or partial skeleton? A fair bit pricier but still very attractive in my opinion would be one of the Hamilton Jazzmaster variants. They've got an open heart (bottom) and partial skeleton (top) versions that don't look completely gaudy. They don't have the fit and allure of a very high priced piece, but have that opened up charm to them, in my opinion.

>>9383439
Since Orient and Seiko aren't microbrands at all what I was asking is wgat are your favorite microbrands? Either in or out your collection.

>That much natos
Wow m8. You make them or what? lol
Besides the new Tudor any other few pieces, I rarely evwr tried a nato on my wrist. I'd love to have your collection for a bit at least to see what fits where among my watches.

>>9383462
Haven't seen the botom one before. I like it. Do you happen to know the pricetag on that?

>>9383473
Fair enough. Sounded like a question geared towards all the micros, hence my clarification.

I don't really have a direct favorite really, all of them are great in their own way. I really do like the Cerberus though, hence my having two of them. The dial sort of changes colour, it's ever so slightly layered to give it depth and the hands and indices don't clash at all. The bracelet is super comfy and the case design is brilliant, with the curved lugs and combination of brushed and polished surfaces.

I'm waiting on the second batch of Halios Delfins to go up for order, this is one piece I've been somewhat obsessed with for the past few months Just look at it. It looks so sweet.

I can't wait to get it in hand, but it's gonna cost me over $900 Canadian with the bloody USD climbing Mt. Everest right now.

>natos
Nah don't make them, just have acquired a lot of them. I like 'em, they're stupid comfy.

>>9383479
MSRP is about 900 USD. Amazon has the white with gold indices at just under $700, and one was sold used on WUS for under $500.

>>9383340
>that Orient Disk
Is this you, anon? It's the same picture.

>>9383696
Nope. Looks like someone took my picture to use for their sale.

Not that I really care either, really.

>>9380965
fedora/10

>>9383703
It's also a pretty nice picture.
I really like the watch and have been thinking of getting one, but it's kind of hard to get in europe unless you buy from eBay or the like.
On the english Amazon it's 600~ pound (equivalent to $900).

>>9383715
Yeah that price is horribly inflated.

I scored big time with it, got it from Dutyfreeisland for 129US. Best deal ever.

If you can acquire it for around 150 quid before VAT, spring for it. Every time I just browse to see the current price, it's usually over that.

If Orient updated their movement line to include handwinding at least, then I'd say absolutely. But it feels like a low-mid tier entry level automatic, I wouldn't want to spend more than 150 pounds myself.

LongIslandWatch have a couple different colour variants for around a hundred quid, no idea if they ship to GB though.

Nothing too fancy, but this is the first watch I've come across that I've genuinely wanted.

Getting it with my tax refund. Only ~$112, but I live dat poorfag life. Thoughts?

>>9383732
>no idea if they ship to GB though.
I actually live in Denmark, and there's the problem that I'll have to pay taxes for anything I buy outside of europe that exceeds like $12.

>>9383738
It's a good choice for a poorfag.
Otherwise you could go with a nice vintage watch.

>>9383738
not a bad choice this is actually on my shortlist as well. though you might want to try an automatic instead of a quartz eco drive for your "first real watch" but that's just preference

>>9383765

That's the thing, I am embarrassingly picky when it comes to these things. I meant it when I said "first watch I've genuinely wanted", I always seem to find some infinitesimally tiny thing to gripe about on every single watch I've come across.

>>9383768
And you prefer quartz to automatic movement?
I don't see why. I'd choose automatic movement every time.

So I was thinking about getting a new watch. I looked at hundreds if not thousands. And come up with this one.

I'm no fan of the Speedmaster/Mako designs. And also have a deep hatred towards metal bands. But would like to have a decent watch to wear as an everyday watch. (Hence the quartz.)

So is this a good choice?

My work is mostly desk-job engineering shit, but would like to have a watch that "doesn't crap itself" when it gets wet and could accompany me on the field.
(Also been thinking about the timex expeditions w chronograph, but heard they're not so reliable/durable.)

>>9383869
Seiko 5 would be the obvious choice for you.

First watch, recently bought a speedmaster on a trip to Tokyo. Low Yen is best yen.

>>9383964

>>9383964
trim ur fucking finger nailes for christs sake

and that "watch" looks like you taped a clock to your wrist. nigga be lookin like a knock-off flava flav

and that ring, well lets just say o am i laffin

>>9383964
Fug I want one so bad. How much was it in moon dollars? Did you manage to get through customs and all that without getting taxed? I'm sure you could wear it on your wrist on the plane and nobody would notice, but if they found the brand new box and papers in your bag then they could probably fuck you over.

thank mr skeltal

my fingernails are fine. How homosexual do you have to be to be so concerned for another man's fingernails?

>>9384507
shipped the box etc to my address via ems and wore the watch on the flight back
got it for around $2800. nice deal for brand new

Most of the used speedys were about $2200 in good condition

>>9383964
You should really ditch that ring.
It's fucking ugly, and not effay at all.
Very nice watch, though. I would've gone with a white dial instead though.

>>9384618
>shipped the box etc to my address via ems and wore the watch on the flight back
Not the anon you replied to, but that's exactly what I've thought about doing if I ever pick up a super fucking expensive watch out abroad, seems like the best way to avoid customs.

>>9377885
good. i bought same one after my first big paycheck. people can spot it a mile off as the real deal. when you see a real rolex you just know.
