There's no watch thread because the last one got deleted by the mods.
Fate of watch threads on this board uncertain. we may have to migrate to /g/

>>9466234
But why did they delete them?
I'm /fa/ but untill recently, didn't knew much about watches and didn't use them out off fear they would crash my outfit. I have learn so much here.
The dudes on g have no style. :'-(

Feel the same.
>don't kill the watchthreads mods

>>9466251
>The dudes on g have no style.

So true. All they seem to be capable of posting is shitty Seiko automatics and diving watches. They only care about the movements in the watch.

It's like buying a Ferrari and then only caring about the engine.

Watches are for idiots. They're wholly redundant in the modern age.

>>9466251

I got bashed for having a shitty McJob last thread. But the time has came and I found a new job. Looking to buy a watch with my first pay cheque (not the whole of my pay cheque) I'm thinking about the seiko sarb033. Can anybody else make some recccomendations for less then $400

>>9466479
Have you looked at the guide?
If you like the SARB just get it. JDM Seiko beats everything in the price range for external finishing.

>>9466468
>>9466438
Another classy felow, but a bit nostalgic.

>>9466462

>>9466479
Seiko is great. Below the 400 mark you can also look into several Citizens and second hand quartz Longiness.

>>9466355
>>9466459
>>9466474
Get rekt

>>9466487
I have looked at the guide. I was just wanting to know what some others would suggest. I think I'll get the sarb. Seems to be the best value for my limited budget. I would also like to commend you for being so helpful to others in these threads

>>9466497
You called an item "a classy felow". You can't even spell your euphoric dick-slapping correctly. Fuck off, fedora. This isn't effay.

>>9466479
>I got bashed for having a shitty McJob last thread. But the time has came and I found a new job.

THAT WAS ALL I EVER WANTED FOR YOU, ANON.

IDK why the other thread derailed after suggesting you find a better job. I used to work at McDonald's too. Congrats.

>>9466523
Haha, I appreciate it man. I was probably partly to blame for the it degenrating. I am, well I guess was so bitter at the fact I couldn't find another job, but the time has come, it's decent money so I'll be looking forward to adding a nice piece to hopefully the start of a very nice watch collection

>>9466531
That was intended to answer the "fight me" part.
But c'mon dude, cat shirts? That's like pissing against the wind.

>>9466555
it's okay, I have a loud enough personality to pull it off

Should I buy a $100 rolex?

>>9466617
If you can find a Rolex for $100, yes.
If you're talking about a hundred dollar Rolex replica, I've had 40 year old unlubed slavshit that's higher quality than those. non-shit reps start at $250.

>>9466617
$100 lolex?

NO
O

Why don't you better lurk for a nice Seiko, Citizen or Orient?

Is this worth it?

Why are watches supposed to be on the left wrist?

>>9466634
Because of the lack of outer railway for the second hand to properly point, that chronograph is utterly useless.

If were you I either buy a vintge like /g/ suggested. >>9466650 Or I'll buy a modern one but without chrono, just like the King's.
Way cheaper also.

http://www.chrono24.com/en/hamilton/ventura--id3135623.htm

>>9466676
So you can change the time on them while wearing it

>>9466676
>>9466696
Also because the left is typically the non-dominant hand and should theoretically be less subject to potential abuse.

>>9466676
Most people are right handed so manufacturers designed them inorder to allow the wearer to wind the watch by spinningthe crown without taking it off, and that became the rule. Also, in the left, the right handed people didn't bash their watches that often thus, surviving better.

>>9466696
not necessarily changing the time since that's not often something you do on a regular basis, but winding it.
I think the main reason is just so you're not dragging it all over the paper while you write.

>>9466731

Always wanted one but I've heard HMT can be a real hit or miss.

>>9466952
The quality feels really solid and the winding seems sturdy.
Only thing I dislike is how it's a lil hard go read the time around the 6 and 12 bc of how they are placed in w/ the big numerals

>>9466959

That's a fairly minor complaint. Only another second or so required to tell the time in most situations.

>>9466201
Caliber 870 is such a great movement.

>>9467768
>>9467768

I don't think so, it fits just right in the last hole.

It looks bigger because I'm a small guy.

i'm getting this and nobody can stop me

i have the dashing good looks to pull it off

>>9467777
checked em. Also it's bigger than it should be. People have said mine is bigger so yours would be way bigger for your wrist. Also let's get bullied together about our MK watches.
I'll miss getting bullied since I'm getting a Hamilton soon.

>>9467794
Oh I see what you mean. I guess it is then, but I just like how it looks, besides, aren't big watches like invicta's trendy at the moment?

Regardless of that I just think it looks nice :)

Why would we be bullied about MK? I'm new to /fa/ those were my first 3 post.

For real, I'm new to /fa/.
Just tell me why I'm wrong and I'll take the advice and get out.

>>9467828
Don't get out. Stay and learn, you're welcome either way.

Sadly, fashion brands watches are among the shittiest of qualitys you'll find. It's better if you keep yourself in the only watch kinda brands, the ones that doesn't make anything else and depend on their reputation. Quartz or mechanical is your choice and your choice only.

>>9467835
Btw I know this doesn't apply to Invicta, but an Invicta is like kicking a little poor boy in the plums; you just don't do it.

>>9467835

Ohh, I see. Well I guess that makes sense, the chef is not going to tell the surgeon how to make a cut.

From personal experience, the designer brand watches have never failed me and they are very pretty IMO.

Regarding brands that only make watches, any not 'Rolex' expensive ones that are awesome looking?

>>9467835
>>9467840
Also,is better if the lugs of the watch (the four thing that attach to the strappr bracelet) doesn't exceed the lenght of your arm. Another big no, no.

>>9467846
I always recomend Citizen and Seiko as great entry levels. If you are willing to drop up to a bit more than a grand you could get a Longiness, a Frederique Constant, etc... Some people here have a Cerberus for half that, etc...

It depends on how much would you like to spend.

>>9467852
Oh I see. IIs this one ok then? or is it just a little too big but acceptable? Could I wear the first one too is it just too big? Because when I'm not taking the picture, the entire watch sits on my wrist.

>>9467859
300-500 USD
I'll check out the Frederique Constant ones, thanks.

>>9467875

>>9467852
And I would also like to know if this one is considered too big. This one feels just fine to me.

>>9467876
If you put it back your ulna (wristbone) it won't look that big, I hope. Probably acceptable then.
However, 300-500 usd won'tmakethe cut for a Frederique Constant unless is secon hand.(used)
Hamilton, Tissot (the good ones) Cerberus among others are in this price rage.

>>9467889
To explain myself better.

>>9467886
It looks gigantic, but if you already bought it then just enjoy it.

>>9467894
Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

The only one I'm not too comfortable wearing is the first one, I think that one is actually way too big hahaha.

>>9467894
>>9467889
>>9467886
>>9467876
Here. This is how I always use my watches:
1. pass the ulna (wristbone)
2. smallers than my wrist.

Thankfully I have thick wrists and, while not being a lard, I even can pull a 50mm, but reaaaally barely, so I won't dare.

>inb4 you get the wrong Speedy

>>9467901
>I think that one is actually way too big hahaha
I think so too.

>>9467753

I always like a little quirk in my watches. I'm not a fan of the brand because IMO you should never buy a watch from a company not mainly known for watch manufacturing...

But I do like the crown position. Hands could be longer and it looks like it'd be pretty big. Otherwise I think it looks nice m8, no hate from me.

You buy a watch for you. Fuck everyone in this thread who says otherwise.

>>9467886
>>9468002

Me again. Yeah that is way too big. I'm guessing it's around 44mm? IMO rule of thumb for dressy watches is nothing above 38mm, or 40mm if you've got real fat wrists.

haters gon hate

>>9468009
m8 a 42mm looks ridiculously small on me.

>>9468009
I just googled it, it says it is 48mm but, although I'm new to fashion in general, I really think it looks great, even on my small wrist, unlike the first Michael Kors I posted, which, surprisingly, it is listed as a 48mm watch too.

>>9468040

Yeah, but I'm talking dress watches. Something small and thin to fit under the cuff.

>>9468042

Holy shit that's big. My limit is 44mm, and even that is a stretch.

>>9468044
>>9468044

At least now I know that...size does matter after all hahahaha, so for my future watch purchases I will not make the same mistake.

Currently have a terrorist watch and wanted to upgrade to first semi-real watch.
Thoughts on this?

>I have a terrorist watch and want to upgrade
>I want to get a watch with an olive drab face
>I have made no indication of changing the strap

>>9467753
Won't that look weird as fuck in pocketwatch mode if you take the straps off?

>>9468061
I think it looks great.

>>9468068
Oh, nevermind, I thought the strap holders didn't come off.

>>9468049

Good watch but small. I'd go for black or sand instead. Straps do wonders to these watches though. Also they're really moddable if you ever want to change things up.

>>9468080

Yeah I was thinking the same.

>>9468068

Can you take a picture of the back?

>>9468090

>>9468106

M8 I said... OF THE BACK. I want to see how those lugs look.

>>9468106
Now rotate the watch 180 degrees and then take the photo again

>>9468090
>>9468108

Sorry, takes a while to upload 2 pictures because of the spam prevention.

>>9468112
How does it look closed up in pocket watch mode? Where the strap lugs go? Does it have some sort of witchcraft to disguise that it's a convertible or does it have little notches

I believe Swatch manufactures them so they could just as well be Tissots or something. You are right about pocket watches though, they have absolutely no place in todays fits, no matter of the occasion.

You're right, reminds me of a wrist fed-watch.

How do I get this watch or anything close that doesn't cost 60k?

How does it feel to know Apple is going to sell more of their solid gold watches than Rolex will in 2015? I'm talking their $4,000 model.

>>9468184
I'd buy it.

>>9468174

Just Rolex. I don't like Rolex. I appreciate fine watches, but just not Rolexes for some reason.

Also almost everything from Panerai.

>>9468178
Don't get that watch. It's fucking hideous

>>9468185

It's going to blow up in China. Apple products are already the most choice gift amongst the wealthy there. Giving them a chance to flex their wealth even more is going to make the Apple Watch Edition the best selling luxury watch ever.

>>9468157
You know, that's actually not nearly as bad as I thought. I'm not a pocket watch kind of dude myself, but I know a guy who's got the mindset of getting multiple purpose items (Even if it's a little fedoraish), and who could actually make some good use of a watch like that, plus he doesn't really care much about the watch afficionado mentality around watch maker watches, so I think something like this as a gift would really lift his spirits. Thanks bro.

Because they should cost a lot less for what they are worth. It's just the brand that makes them 200$+. I mean sure if you like it ok go for it just don't post it on watch threads because the watch enthusiasts will bully u. At least the bitches like MK right?

great bang for buck at $1k for an ETA 2892-2

>>9468257

That makes sense too. I don't really think I'm paying for the quality but for the design itself.

I, for one, would never EVER buy a Rolex, not even for the social status factor, because I find every single Rolex ugly.

>>9468261
Hydroconquest is just so meh generic diver. There's nothing wrong with it on paper but it just does nothing for me.

>>9468261

Not that good BFYB given the movement, but apparently outstanding overall quality given the price.

I handled a Breitling Superocean Heritage the other day. I was so disappointed. The bezel was awful. It literally felt like my Invicta 9937 OB.

>>9468269
In black it doesnt do anything for me either, the blue in person however is really subtle and stunning when in the right light with the sunburst. For around 1k, I like this alot more than the competition

>>9468277
At that pricepoint you normaly get a 2824. ETA isn't anything special but this movement combined with the finishing of the watch its hard to find anything better new at that price

Holy shit

Too bad about the cut off numbers.

>>9468290
and the fact that it's 42mm.

>>9468298

No problem with 42 personally, but 40 would have been awesome. Impossible with a 6498 I think though

Lawyerfag here again.
So /fa/, before I went on my escape-from-the-fucking-cold-weather vacations that landed me on a on a nice, warm beach in Mexico's littoral, an anon asked me to post a better picture of my Chronometré Bleu and he was right, since my prior ones were taken with a cellphone and were shit; so, there you go:

(I should mention again that the profound and complex manner the light reflects on this extremely beautiful dial makes it a nightmare to properly photograph.)

>>9468950
This second pic is a bit twiked on lightroom because I wanted to emphasize the deepness of the dial that actually lets you see anoyher "layer" of blue, in wich the indexes are reflected like if it were wrotten in the bottom of water mirror you are seeing from above.

Those lines across the dial are there only because my messing around in the computer, but no really on the watch. (sorry about the poor quality of the pics, but I was in hurry with bad light and I even borrowed my gf silk scarf for the background.)

Also, there is another reason I'm posting again, and, belive it or not, it's because /fa/ actually delivered, in the form that I came in knowledge of a brand and specific model here that had flew off my radar everywhere else and, if it weren't for the anons here on 4chan, I would have never bought. So, thank you, -trully- you folks are awesome.

After seeing the watch I contacted the maker and started negotiations; it turned out the entire production was completely sold out a while ago -like anons told me-, except for one that a client kept on hold for a very, very long time but didn't actually bought it (due to the price probably).

The cost was indeed a bit too high of what I initially expected but I do belive the quality of the finished product justifies the pricetag and since the maker and I had become friedns and, amazingly, we were both members of another watch community, he offer me a discount either way. ;-)

So, with out any further interruption, here is my new Maison Celadon Imperial Red Special Edition.
>feels goodman.jpg

>>9468958

Nice time piece. F.P.Journe is definitely god-tier watchmaker

>>9468981
Yes I did. :-) Also, is not only an Imperial Red, but an Imperial Red Special Edition. I can't belive my luck either.

>>9468978
Wow i've never heard of these. The details on the dial are great!

>>9468991
you're a fucking cunt m8
your collection contains about half of the watches that I will want for the rest of my life but never get
hngggnh

>>9468993
Thanks dude. It's an exceptinally deep guilloché pattern. Most guillochés are trully beautiful, but a very few are as deep as this one. (For what I have seen, there are probably at least on and a half milimeters between the bottoms ant tops of the engraving.

>>9469002
HAHAHA chill m8. There is still lots of time in our lifes.
Also, althought I'm not exactly sure wich, since I got the Special Edition I can tell you there are only seven OR fourteen of this around the world, but I think it's seven.(7 for the red dial and 7 for the white dial.) :-)

>>9469018
The special part?
The bridges of the balance wheel and the escapement are madeof yellow gold and beautifully engraved. (sorry about the ultrshitty quality pic)

Hey /fwatcha/ (it's /fa/ + watch ex d)

I need advice

So it's been going pretty well for me lately and I have some disposable income and I've decided to get my dad a watch as a gift My budget is around the 3kUSD mark.

My current consideration is the Cartier Tank Solo - plz give opinions.

General guidelines would be that it should be elegant, clean and not too flashy


Thanks in advance.

possibly my next watch
your opinions?

>>9469190
solid choice but a bit boring.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYK2WFKNIGA

since it's a chronograph it made me think about this comparison video I saw recently

>>9469185
cartier is for fags
get him an omega

>>9469185
The Tank is a nice watch, but your budget place it in the quartz version rage so you might want to rethink your choice or drop another grand. I don't have anything against quartz but I do belive that paying more than a grand for a simple steel two hands quartz is paying exclusively for the name on the dial and nothing else. :-(

(Unless you're getting it in the grey market, in wich case I strongly advice you tomake sure about its authenticity and if its good then go ahead.)

Still, great to see other folks showing love to their dads. I got mine a Rolex President in whit gold. :-)

>>9469190
Never heard abput this brand. Why do you want it anon? What differences it from other choices?

>>9469242
I don't know my watches that well so I really appreciate the advice m80 - if you don't mind me asking, what mechanism would I be getting if I dropped the extra grand?

Also that Rolex President (assuming I looked up the correct model) is stunning, but it's definitely too much for me atm.

>>9469261
I'm not totally sure but I think you'll get the Caliber 049 from Cartier, wich is an ETA based movement BUT unique to Cartier since they hold the propietary modification pattent. Not a bad movement at all.

Btw, I found you a link from a shop based in New York with a nicer price for a mechanical one. You can get the bracelt reference first and then bought him the strap and propietary clasp for a couple of extra hundreds, it's wiser. :-)

Thanks a lot man.
I'll do some research now.

>>9469321
My pleasure m8

>>9469242
>Never heard abput this brand
>What differences it from other choices?
It's made by Messerschmitt. They've produced planes for Germany used in a minor conflict of the 20th century.
This specific model looks quite elegant and it's still reasonable priced (~220€), at least in the range what i would pay for a watch.
>Why do you want it anon?
I'm looking for an elegant watch that goes well with suits, "official clothing" and the alike.

>>9469377
>They've produced planes for Germany used in a minor conflict of the 20th century.
This irks me like a mofo.

However, for the price in seems about ok; bauhauss design and all.

Have you seen irl?

>>9469393
not yet

>>9469377
Messerschmitt has been dead since 40 years. Someone bought the name rights and put them on a watch (same with Junkers).

>>9469423
still like the look of the watch

>>9469401
I thought you already tried it. Don't buy it until you inspect it irl. You might want to give Seiko and Citizen a try then.

>>9469414
>Not sure if bait or bad quality pic
IF not bait, cheers.

>>9468978

>>9469414
that's the rolex i like the most i think. I hope i cop a fake one from those niggers that sell cheap watches on the beach.

>>9468978
how much?

>>9468978
looks good. congrats on that watch.

>americucks not knowing messerschmidt

I don't know really anything about watches or watch brands. I was just given this watch as a gift from my mother. Apparently my father purchased it as a present for my grandfather, both of whom are now deceased. Is this a good watch?

My only watch used to be a Casio twin resist 2115, and after 6 years it had just fail today (it was a gift btw)

Does anyone know how I could get a Citizen Ana-Digi-Temp repaired? There's quite a lot wrong with it - the light button is stuck in/not working and the analog clock parts don't work. The temperature feature doesn't work either - about the only thing that does work is the digital watch part, date and alarm.

Do you think your standard mall watch repair shop would know how to repair a digital/analog hybrid?

Question for you guys.

I work in motorsports and the work is pretty rough and tumble, but also the kind of thing where a watch is very useful to have. I'm looking for a watch that can handle the abuse of shop and trackside life, but isn't some chunky digital thing that looks like a middle schooler's watch. My experience is that resistance to scratches and chemicals and the ability to be quickly and easily cleaned are more important than impact resistance in my environment. Budget is around $300, give or take a couple hundred, and I prefer analog watches from real watch brands. Something that could be a casual-wear watch outside work and when I'm in the office would be nice.

Any suggestions?

>>9469642
Do you like divers' watches?

>>9469690
I like the watch, but that bb bracelet. pls dont

>>9468978
>mfw

>>9469685
Yeah, I'm a big fan of them. Most of the ones that seem rugged enough are waaaaay outside my pricerange, though, and domed crystals are pretty vulnerable in my line of work.

>>9469752
Obris Morgan, maybe? it's right in your price range, has a sapphire crystal, and the dome is hardly there.

>>9469841
Hey cool, my wrist is famous

>>9469553
>>9469556
>>9469738
Thank m8s. It's a great watch indeed.
Here,have another picture of it.

>>9469642
I have seen som Seiko 5 take a masive amount of damage and still look good at the end of the day. Look for one with a ceramic bezel, brushed steel finishing (no coats, as they will fall off) and you're done.

>>9469642
>>9469989
Found it! I'm 99% sure my mechanic wears this precise model and he obvioulsy test its resistance everyday. Las time I saw it, was still looking preatty good.

>>9469580
It's not a bad one,and it also has a heirloom history behind it. Take it to service, put it on a black mate strap (buffalo is a nice option) and enjoy it. It won't be fitableforevery ocasion, tough.

>>9469628
You should take it to Citizen official repair center, they are everywhere (I have three in my city) It's the sae choice, but a bit more expensive.

>>9469642
Get a cell phone, retard.

Thinking of copping soon, thoughts?

>>9468958

Whoa. Wait a minute...

The markers are printed to the sapphire? Or at least, somehow they're not directly on the dial? That looks amazing.

>>9469841

I don't understand the spike/triangle markers on the bezel at 45 and 55.

My only gripe tbh. Otherwise I'd have one on my wrist.

>>9470145

How big and how much? I think it's too flashy for a flieger and I don't like the day/date, but otherwise you know it'll be good quality.

>>9470292
No. The markers ARE printed on the surface of the dial, but the blue is some sort of translucent material that allow the markes to be reflected on the bottom on the dial as well, thus providing a sensation of deepnessI have never seen in any other dial.

>>9470315

That. Is. Incredible. Can you see any movement detail?

>>9470322
Not really. The applied material rests on a base plate made of silver as on any high end watches so, if you want to see the movement, you have to turn it around. (Which is delightful and sexy as fuarck.)
Thanks fo the interest m8. What's your watch?

>>9470412
That. is. gorgeous.
>I'm jelly.

>>9468958

WOW
How do you buy all those watches?
Are you a rich faggot?

>>9470847
His watch collection is probably close to equal in worth to my house.
Unless he steals them, I'd say yes.

>>9468187
No it's not, it's awesome.
It looks nothing like your everyday shit pieces.
It's unique.

>>9468178
Steal it, like that guy did.

He's a lawyer, get ready to hear his life story.

Neat watch though, I like it a lot. The white one with blued hands is much nicer though, honestly.

>>9470123
I have one (obviously.)

A phone is harder to access when in awkward positions or in a high-sided racing bucket seat, which I spend a lot of time in at my job. It's not resistant to liquids or chemicals, has a fragile screen, and I don't want to reach into my pocket with grime or oil on my hands to pull it out. It also doesn't have a quickly accessible second hand or counter, which is something I need quite frequently.

>>9470847
>>9470875
>Once upon a time a little handsome boy was born to become a lawyer....

No, but seriously, I'm a lawyer and I do OK I guess. :-) I earn all my disposable income through hard work though.

>The white one with blued hands is much nicer though, honestly.
I beg to differ greatly, but disregarding that I already have several more traditional looking watches and I felt in love with the intense red tone. Makes a nice pair with my blue Journe and also forms a stronger connection with the chinese culture.

>>9470145
Just make sure it won't be bigger that yout wrist; that's just gross.

Is my watch too big for my wrist?

>>9471218
Pushing it, but you're probably fine.
I usually like my watches a little more conservatively sized like pic related though.

>>9471231
What are you?? A girl??
>>too small

>>9471258

About to pull the trigger on this

Any last words?

>>9467788
Is there one similar to that, or even cheaper/chintzier?

I don't want the trendy terrorist bullshit associated w/it.

>>9471457

>tisshit

pls no

>>9471461
why is it shit

What else is good for <$400?

Should I go for a hamilton khaki?

how bout this

>>9471518
Not bad. How much?

>>9466154
Okay.

Does anyone here happen to know what watch this is?

>>9471570
Fake and ugly

>>9471578
Its not fake.

>>9468978
Them shits is made in china nigga. You just paid for a watch with one of those chinky 50 cent movements they put in fake rolex's. Save your money and hit up the flea market next time.

>>9471597
Cronograph case configuration but with no chronograph dials?? Yes it is.
Also, black hands??
Who are you trying to decive?
>Totally fake

Look, if you like the watch that's good, but don't try to pass it for a real VC. Why won't you get a nice Citizen ir Seiko?

>>9471604
0/10 unsuccesful troll
I have collected several high end watches over the years and belive me, this watch worths as much as its cost, and probably some more.
>Pic related, other of my watches.
Now, why won't you go troll the fuccboy thread? Chances are you'll be more succesful there m8.

>>9471646
You're an idiot. Look up the model. The dials look black because of the reflection, they are silver.

>>9471547
4 bills

>>9471646
Damn, thats ugly.

>>9471692
Even if the hands are black polished or look that way due to a photograph reflection that doesn't change the fact that the subdials are marked to a seven days and twelve hour configuration. That is not a chronograph at all.
It. Is. Fake.

>>9471732
Yeah probably, found that pic online. Who cares? Well i mean besides you?

>>9471719
Well, not everybody has the same taste, and that's good.
What's yours anon?

>>9471742
I didn't care until the other anon stated it was fake and you said it wasn't. I like all kind of watches (cheap Citizens and Seikos are among wht I always recommed) but what I don't like is when someone tries to decive by saying something is authentic when it isn't. There is an anon here with a fake Rolex that always state it's a fake. I respect that, I like honesty.

>>9471743
no need

Old rolex

>>9471757
Nice and vintage.

Turns out that the Messerschmitt watches are a brand by Aristo nowadays.

HEY GUYS I have a question

Poorfag college student here.

Is there a point in spending more than $200 and less than $2000 on a watch? it seems like with watches it's either go big or go home. So would it be dumb to buy a say $400 watch? Or should I just stick to the $180 seiko and deal with it

>>9471923
it just depends, in the $200-$400 range a lot of watches won't be worth the money and will be very similar quality to watches that are $150.

>>9471928
what about watches that are $400+? That's my question. Above $400 is like the awkward in between of cheap and practical to luxury and elegent.

how much should one spend on a watch?

How do you guys feel about Wenger??

This watch is still my favourite!

>>9469190
I don't think it looks boring AT ALL - it looks fucking killer to me.

>>9471998
Victorinox and Wenger make pretty decent stuff. Lots of military styled watch. Although I personally can't stand the swiss emblem on all of their watches so they don't make for good dress watches. And I'm pretty sure /fa/ doesn't like pic related for example. So yeah, hit and miss in terms of pure style.

I like this Victorinox though.

>>9471458
You could get a vintage russian digital.

>>9471576
It looks like a legend diver, but it's not.

>>9471952
>how much should one spend on a watch?
Under $200 or between $400 and $600. After that point there's not a whole lot of value for money until $5k+.

>>9472477
>>9471576
I was intrigued at the idea of a legend diver lookalike so I went on a hunt around google for this watch.
It's an eaglemoss australian naval diver.

>>9474186

How do you anon store your watches?

>>9474648
Watch box.
before I owned an actual dedicated watch box, I used one of my hardshell handgun cases. Cut holes in the foam and use the foam that you cut out as watch pillows and you're golden.
I still use the handgun case for travel. I bet the TSA has a fun time with that.

>>9474648
Lawyerfag here. Until last year's autum I kept my watches in a safe but when a neighbor's apartment was robbed, I decided to move my collection to a vault in a bank that is really close to my home, so I can pick any watch (or watches) I want when coming from work; no more worries. ;-)

The funny thing is that this vault has rotors iside to store automatic movements, but I don't turn them on, so part of my collection is in the upper part on the rotors, and the rest lies in a watch box drawer in the bottom.

>>9474672
I would love to see you boarding a plane with your box m8. Haha

>>9472480
best advice of the thread

>>9474789
aren't you late to work if there's a line

>>9474672
what box do you use/do you recommend it? i try hard to keep a small collection but i'm at the point where i'm going to need one and I can't decide on how many rotors

>>9469185
got to say i think cartier as a brand is overrated, if you're liking the style of a tank i would recommend the reverso, it's a much nicer watch imo and has a heritage.

>>9474919
>i can't decide on how many rotors
I grabbed a 12 slot watch box with a basic display top off amazon for like twenty bucks. I've always thought that keeping automatics on a winder was kind of pointless and even detrimental since you're putting unnecessary wear on the movement and whenever I put on a different watch I always set it.
I guess if you're the type who switches watches on a day to day basis it could be useful, but I pick a watch and wear it for a whole week so I don't end up changing my watch out three times a day.

Anybody looking to buy a rare Vostok Neptune from me?

>>9474977
Not him but isn't it just as bad to have it sitting for long? I read somewhere that the lubricants on the gears will congeal if left alone too long.

>>9475009
They will congeal if left stationary for a long period of time. This is within the time of months or even years, though, and if I had a watch that I wore so infrequently as to allow the lubricants to congeal I'd probably sell it because it isn't getting any use.

>>9475020

>>9474919
The clients with vaults have a divided area from the costumers with accounts only. I think I haven't had to wait in a line longer than two or three minutes yet. Besides, I'm a preatty puntual guy, I'm almost never in a real hurry, and certainly, not to work.

BTW I feel the same about rotors than >>9474977 and that's why I don't turn them on.

>>9475009
Yes, it's bad if they stay without working for too long in a cold eviroment like, say, in a safe (lol) wich is why I wind them all every three weeks (by manually turning the crown, even on automatic models) and problem solved.

>>9474983
>>9474983
how much bb

>>9475042
Honestly I'm not going to part with it unless I get a decent offer. I haven't seen any pop up anywhere online in over 8 months, and I was lucky to nag this one as it was the only one I've seen for sale online in nearly 2 years. What would you offer?

>>9475048
Sounds like you don't really want to sell it. Why are you, then?

>>9471719

I never understand why people legitimately like Reversos beyond their heritage. They look like they'd be fun to fondle, but also like they'd just stick out awkwardly for most outfits.

>>9475159
>>>>>implying anybody here worries about their outfits beyond their watch
pretty sure most of the people here just come here for watch threads

considering the mako is an original design I don't know how it could even be considered a rolex lookalike.

yes it's less blatant. I like this pepsi styled watch.

>tfw no Damasko D36

;_;

>>9476112
Nigga thats gaudy and horrible.
>>9476219
Much better. But the Mako is a pretty original design like the other anon said, that doesn't look anything like a submariner. Rolex didn't invent the diver, and they don't somehow own that entire category of watches.
