Don't buy golden tone watches that aren't even decent gold plated (20 micras at least). The color will wash off and they'll end up lookin really crappy.

Lmao I've never heard of those watches, are you too poor for a Rolex or something?

Just kidding, I like that Vacheron a lot, I've never seen it before. Textured dials like that are my shit.

On a sidenote by your experience can bitches appreciate an expensive timepiece? Like dunno female instinct or something.

And why /fa/ isn't more into fashion watches like pic related? It's only watch geeks here

>>9476763

Could you show the back of that, please.

>>9476884
Only if you explain them (wich I don't) or have them go with you to a watch fair like SIAR (wich I had, but only twice). That second option is litterally a panty dropper.

Bitches doesn't know brands beyond Rolex, Omega and maybe JLC.

>>9476903
>bringing bitches to watch fair
>srsly wut
The whole watch thing is just a dick lenght competition among nerds then.

>>9476855
Mostly cheap stuff, a Seiko SNK809 or whatever the blue model number is, an SKX007, a blue Obris Morgan Explorer II.

The only nice watch I have is a gold capped 60s Omega Constellation. I'd post a photo, but it's been at the watchmaker for like 3 months now because I rescued it out of a drawer where it was unused for 30 years. I'm finally supposed to get it back next week though so I'm pretty excited.

>>9476901
Sorry son I forgot to take a good pic of it before I put in in the vault, I'll do it next time.

I do have some bad details ones taken with phone.

>>9476979
They wanted to go (well, first one, second was a scheme from me to get some impressionable easy pussy). Besides, in those fairs there is also high end jewelry, as Harry Winston's and bitches always want to try what's like to wear a half a million buck necklace.

>>9477006
>whatever the blue model number is

807

>>9477011
Other pic.

>>9477006
Nice. I hope you post pic of your Connie then. Still, you could show us your Seiko's and shit. :-)

>>9476894
generally a watch is the only real piece of jewelry most men actually wear (i dont need to tell you this is a male dominated site), so it makes sense to either splurge and look for quality, or seek for however much quality you can find at your price point.

also personally i think the fact that its on your wrist contributes, you see your watch literally all the time, it's nice to look down and see something you know is quality/proud of. alot of fashion oriented watches aren't good quality, but quality watches can be fashionable if that makes sense.

I got this 90% off I couldn't believe the deal.

Its worth $7000! Looks really cool. Always gets women's attention

>>9477129
>obvious bait is obvious

>>9477025
Sure why not, I post them a lot though.

I'll throw in my girlfriend's watch too. Before you give me shit for buying her a fossil, I have to say that it's a surprisingly nice looking watch. It even has a little guilloche and everything. The rose gold colored coating seems to be pretty durable too, it still looks new. It's surprisingly hard to find women's watches that aren't horrible and gaudy and all jeweled up and shit.

>>9477209
Well I fucked it up

>>9477212
My official watch of /g/.

>>9477216
I think my taste in watches and my watch photography skills have both gotten much better since I took this photo.

>>9477218
>Fossil
pls go

>>9477218
Thanks for the Connie, grandpa. Too bad someone in the family melted down the original gold mesh strap and put it on that joke of a Citizen branded flaky-gold-painted thing.

>>9477229
Nice but throw some polywatch or something on that shit and it'll be much better. Also a nice brown lizard or croco strap would look awesome.

>>9477255
>it's been at the watchmaker for like 3 months now
It's getting a full overhaul, a thorough cleaning, a light polishing and all that as we speak, don't worry. I also already threw that strap in the trash, I have pic related ready for it when I get the watch back.

ayyyy
cop?

>>9477265
It's gonna be a killer watch when it comes back!

Hey i'm bidding on this vintage breguet did I make a good choice

>>9477327

here's a shit instashot of my collection

You may laugh at me, but I have to ask.

What that window with number 28 is for?

>>9477526
The date, m8.

>>9477526
its the date

its not released outside of asia yet, but:

http://www.watches88.com/pd-orient-bambino-classic-automatic-er2400ka.cfm

>>9477600
$250.

>>9477609
holy you paid $250 for an obvious fake? You can get a decent one in any major city's china ton for $50

>>9477613
I paid $250 for a replica that's not a piece of shit. The only thing that's 'obvious' about it is the fact that datejust II's don''t come on jubilee bracelets, but I specifically went in search of something like that.
also, you don't know what you're talking about and no you can't

>>9477613
>>9477627
Besides the Copy on the face, your fakes looks pretty damn close to authentic . Check out my jubs' yo

>>9477209
>>9477212
I remember you now. Good luck with the restoration m9.

I don't immediately hate Fossils, but I do think any Citizen or Seiko is better.

>>9477349
I would be careful, I kinda have a fake vibe from it; specially the strange hands and odd case shape, not Breguety at all.

>>9477216
>>9477218

They look good, but they are far from best dude.

>>9477526
As other have stated, is the date. However,it could have been another thing. I hope you get to visit this threads more often and learn friend

>>9477627
Don't feed the trolls g.

>>9477641
necesito better pics, datejusts are my fetish

>>9477627
I wouldn't worry about the bracelet, I have an authentic rolex air-king that came with the standard strap but I ended up buying an off-market jubilee strap for it. I think it looks nice and its alot more comfortable.

>>9477643
Thank you man! For 200euro it's a masterpiece

>>9477650
I don't try to pass it off as real anyway. I don't flash my wrist at people like most people who wear replicas. I wear it for fun and because it's a well-built watch.

>>9477650
You & I would get along well in real life. Authentic Braclet, I love jubs

>>9477667
Not a massive fan of older jubilees since the hollow links result in them aging like ass. stretch, stretch everywhere
the new super jubliees with solid links and the hidden clasp get me rock hard though which is why I tracked down my fantasy datejust

>>9477681
My are stretched pretty good. My gold Date will need to be sent in soon. I know of a place that can repair. Yeah the hidden claps is so nice, but I can't afford that shit.

Is this watch /fa/?

>>9476612
>I'm tempted to cop
What does cop mean?

>>9477681
Very true! Ahh I hate it. Those hidden clasp are really nice. One day, one day

>>9477692
I don't know shit about fashion, but I would recommend looking around a lot and learning about mechanical movements vs. quartz and whatnot before buying.
also, I don't know what you frogs pay for watches normally, but that's expensive as fuck for what it is. something like that in the US costs around $130.

>>9477698
it's homosexual jargon for 'purchase'

>>9477698
It mean to actually get a job and save up to buy. Wanting something so bad you are willing to earn it.

>>9477692
That seems pretty expensive for that kind of seiko, look at seiko 5. They offer great value for money. It looks like you're willing to spend a decent amount of money so look at seiko sarb as well

>>9477667
Nice, is it vintage? Mine actually looks very similar, same color silver on silver. However the hour markers are straight. My strap is aftermarket so It doesn't have the rolex logo.

>>9477885
>plebs and fuccbois
most of /fa/, unfortunately

>>9476894
oh my god that's actually awful. if you're thinking that's a "fashion" watch, and that the watches in the thread aren't fashionable, you need to stop posting and start lurking for a while.

literally the affliction or ed hardy of watches.

>>9478022
"fashion watch" usually means fashion brands licensed by a generic watchmaker, like Fossil made Armani watches and so on.

>>9478013
also, what is the collar style of 3 and 5's shirts called, and does anybody who's not gay actually wear it?

>>9478057
Scoop neck, and it can maybe sometimes look ok if you have a good chest and good collarbones and the scoop isn't too deep and you don't mind looking a little bit more effeminate.

I don't have any, but I've been known to wear some slightly deep V necks which are close enough and I'm not gay as far as I know.

>>9478004
can anybody confirm i'm buying a real breguet, i know breguet to my knowlege don't use dials like that but i want to know if at least the movement legit

>>9478004
>>9478239
Hi anon. As you can see I'm a real high-end collector and I've handled some Breguets over the years, vintage and modern and I can assure you that's not a real Breguet. It's a fake intentionally aged to look old, but the movement is rather odd and unfinished for Old Breguet standars.
DO NOT BUY IT. It probably has no real value.

>>9478325
Thanks for the tips on the breguet i'll remeber that

>>9478325
Bidding on it himself right now.

>>9476517

It'd be about perfect if they ditched the emblem or at least didn't use red. It just throws everything off.

>>9478642
Why does everyone complain about that Orient logo? I think it looks really nice. I'm more annoyed by the date window, honestly. I love clean symmetrical no-date dials, especially on dress watches, but every damn watch has to have the date on it for some reason.

>>9476492
are you like 8 years old?

What's a good minimalist watch? Something that only has the hands, or some variant like that.

>>9478737

If you don't mind the 12 dot, Movado's been doing that forever.

>>9478737
>good
>minimalist watch
no comprende
a watch should at the very least have hour markers.
that being said, the movado museums are probably what you're looking for
but
>good
they are not

>>9478737
How are you meant to tell the time with only hands?

>>9478737

Can I recommend going halfway on the minimalist style? Then you can get stuff like this, which is simple yet very nice. If you look up "bauhaus" inspired watches there are many variants on this look.

>>9476612
>>9476634
>>9477349

>>9476763

Nice PP m8. I believe I haven't seen you around here. I'm also a collector of high end pieces. Do you have others?

>>9479191

Here's where I must admit the unfortunate truth. It's not mine. Was with a customer today and asked if it was a calatrava he was wearing. He was impressed that I (20 y.o) knew what it was and insisted I try it on and take a pic. We then proceeded to talk about watches for an hour while my boss gave me death stares.

>>9479200
Nice history m8; a bit sad it's not really yours, but happy to se other young folks capable of spottin high-end pieces on the wild.

What do you do for a living m8? How old was the customer? Could you feel that sensation that only comes from a high-end piece? (the weight, the quality, the solidity, the beauty)

any statements on this watch, /fa/? seems to be reliable and fashionable.

>>9479208

I'm studying at university but work in men's fashion at a higher end department store to pay the bills. Although I loathe the job, nearly everyday I see something interesting a customer has, from a nautilus chrono to ROO's and to VERY rarely (only once) a 5970. As a side note, Rolex wearers are massive tight arses in my experience.

This guy was a traveller from Norway in his 60s. He has a bit of a collection and promised to bring in his blancpain next time he was in as I mentioned I badly want a 92' split-second villeret . I saw the strap with the gold patek seal on it before I saw the watch so knew he would have something interesting. I've seen a million pictures of Patek movements but they simply don't do justice to when you see one in the flesh. The polishing and detail on the microrotor alone was insane.

Hey guys, I got this watch for my birthday. The only thing I've been able to find out is that its supposed to be is that its a boy's size datejust, model 68273. My parents say they bought 20+ years ago, but that its otherwise brand new.

Can anyone tell me anything else about it? e.g is the movement out of production, will it be hard to service, is it even real? It runs well enough, but if its so old, will it need servicing? Is it ok to wear it if I am a guy?

>>9479099
The digital part being above the analog part instead of below it is kind of unique, makes it interesting.

While they do look nice, they do not fit my taste. Thank you for taking the time though.
>>9480002
I really like these. Are you referring to the Rose Gold/Brown Leather?

>>9479297
The magnification is right.

>>9479284
If you wouldn't mind moving the hands away from the date window, I could tell a bit more easily, but it looks promising. The J in datejust has the correct font, the spacing of the text is correct, the cyclops magnifies correctly, and the date font looks to be correct for its age. If you could also cycle through the date wheel and take pictures, I could look at the other fonts too. Go to 4, 14, 22, and 30.

>>9477607
thank you

I sort of want to become a watch maker, but I'm afraid I can't because my father shakes a lot, and I might do that too, once I hit an age like his.
Should I drop my dream?

>>9480481

>>9479395

always wondered about this little thing: why the fuck does one need a moon phase indicator? you a werewolf or what?!

>>9480793

There's no real reason. But then again, there's little reason to wear a watch at all or have the date on your watch. Just another thing to design/look cool. I wouldn't worry about them

>>9479395

also this is not your photo. Post a photo with the thread and watch, or you are confirmed for being a serf

>>9480973
yeah, i guess you´re right. watches have become more like an accessoir for men than a necessity. it really is all about the looks.

>>9481033

A moonphase is just a kind of cool complication to add to a watch face. It's pretty, it's not TOTALLY useless (maybe you're an amateur astronomer wanting to do some lunar observation. You can approximately know when the moon will rise or set by the phase indicated). You can also add things like maybe have a monthly calendar going around it. I'm probably biased because I do astronomy, so it ties two hobbies together.

>>9480793
You can use it to track your woman's menstrual cycle... oh right, you don't have a woman.

>>9481239

This is really hard because of how inconsistent rolex is.
The font for the 2 initially gave me pause because they're normally much sharper but I did find a few models that had date wheels like that.
If it's a replica, it's one of the best I've ever seen. Obviously a movement shot would allow 100% certainty but I'm going to assume that you don't want to bother with trying to open a rolex caseback. I'm gonna say that it's real.

Which one, /fa/?

most watches go with pretty much everything barring huge dive watches with a suit/etc.

>>9483993
Why are so many people afraid of small watches.
I really don't see how they're feminine. For dress watches in particular, 30-35mm is perfect imo.

>>9484033
no, seriously, it's a women's model
not that he can't wear it, they look the same as men's apart from the size and I agree that 31mm can be acceptable for a dress watch.

>>9483008
I fucking love these daytonas.

I can't imagine I'd be able to wear it with anything I own though if I could even afford it.

>>9483918
not a regular one that you usually see around but come on. it has an alternate time zone sub dial. I'd assume that this is where a chronograph already starts. Or am I wrong?

My Omega Speedmaster Professional moonphase

Got it new for ~5k

Mfw bitches drool over my gaudy gold Michael Kors shit while you losers jerk each other off over square nerd watches

>>9484177
that's because women are plebeian as fuck and wear michael kors themselves so they feel like they can related to you more.

honestly, a lot of women got shit watch taste. the fuck do they wear? fucking espirit watches, michael kors, fossil garbage and any easy recognizable fashion brand watch with shit movement. never seen a woman with an automatic movement either. they are just not as curious about horology in general.

no offense to female watchmakers in the making or similar or those who are indeed knowledgeable.

>>9484033
this watch looks retarded on his wrist.
cut off for male and female is at 36 and 37 mm imo.

>>9484156
Congrats dude! Enjoy it greatly.
Btw, are you left handed?
>mine
>inb4 you got the wrong one

>>9484033
that looks pretty gay imo. Why are so many people afraid of big watches?

>>9484208

Nice speedy. Are they the same model? I can't tell with the lighting whether yours is a ceramic or SS.

No, I'm actually not left handed. For some weird reason I've always worn my watches on my right hand even though I'm right handed. They just don't feel right on my left hand. Call me crazy.

>>9484230
If you think that looks gay, you're probably a closet faggot

Any idea about the worth of this watch?

>>9479965
That's great m8!! Really happy you got the UN at last.
I believe it's now time for a family pic. Won't you agree?

>>9480481
I have taken watchmaking courses before and let me tell you that, obviously, not being a shaky bastard is important, but it isn' as hard as you might think. If you become a watchmaker, you'll use special tool that are designed to minimize such sort of problems, like tall workdesks (that actually carries your arms and places the watch almost the same level that your face), slightely magnetized screwdrivers and very powerful loupes wich will allow you to work easily and with calm.

Give it a try dude, ypu have nothing to loose. Good luck friend!!

>>9480793
>>9480973
>>9481100
It's beautiful, simple as that. But, in the past, at times when there wasn't electrical ilummination, people depended on moonlight to make all kind of stuff at nights and therefore needed to know when were going to be the brightest nights without having a calendar at hand, wich gave birth to the age of the moon complication (29 1/2 days) and then, the moonphase.

>>9481239
>>9481269
LOL

>>9483913
That's not a chronograph, but a calendar with 24 hour dial.

>>9483564
I have see dudes (well, old dudes) with small watches all the time. If you have tiny baby wrists you can easily wear it.

>>9484033
Fucking phone resolution, can't recognize the watch.

>>9484053
>not owning an all platinum medival style armor in your closet
>da fuck

>>9484196
One of the greatest watch reporters worldwide is a woman, and quite a connoisseur as well but, sadly, for most girls you sound about right.

>>9484236
Crazy then. But whatever spins your wheels is ok dude. Mine is the steel reference, I honestly don't like the idea of full ceramic cases IMHO.
Is it your only, or do you have a watch collection? (Don't care if expensive or not, but please post pic if you do so.)

Any reason why I shouldn't buy?

>>9484460
Looks pretty good mate. I'd get it on a leather band though, but that's just me.

>>9484486
>I'd get it on a leather band though, but that's just me.
Protip: always get the bracelet version of the watch and get an aftermarket strap for it. Always better to have the watch with bracelet should you decide to sell it, and at least having the bracelet is nice for variety.

An article I think evwrybody should read here:

http://www.watchtime.com/featured/fossil-watches-made-in-switzerland-inside-fossils-swiss-mission/

I am looking for a cheap simple watch and have come across the one pictured. I know it's basically a daniel wellington, but I am not buying £150 for basically the same thing but with a logo I don't want on it anyway.
It's on some site called thelibertyexperiment.co.uk, anyone used it before? weird ass name but i am guessing its legit

>>9484460
Uhh, it's a shitty quartz watch?
If that doesn't bother you, go ahead.

>>9485162
The exposed escapement is pure eye sex, but I've never understood dual escapements apart from luxury rice.

Is there any legit reason to even have a dual escapement? A dual barrel power reserve makes way more sense than this.

>>9485173
Maybe it helps counteract gravity?
High end Swiss watchmakers like to circlejerk over unnecessary complications.

>>9485173
>>9485232
It's intended to provide greater isochronism; there is a differential that will compensate any slightley variaton that comes from the vibrations (aka hertz) of any of the balance wheels by being forced to regain current "time tracking" by the other.
The double of regulatour organs available cuts the inacurancy in half.

It's been done before, but preatty neat IMHO.

>>9485360
ahh, so it's like the audiophile faggots that use 2 amplifiers with the same speakers?

>>9485232
aka tourbull-shit-ion

nah, but seriously i might just cop a grand seiko, they're pretty cheap and i can just sell the various $500-2500 watches i have and never wear

and the handful of "budget watches" like the mako i wear often isn't going to even pull $20 on the used market

so better off throwing it away or wearing it as a beater since they only retail like $150-200

>>9485427
Kinda, one for the highs and one for the lows (I'm a bit of an audiophile myself) but in the watch case both balance wheels "measure" the same frequency (28800 vibrations per hour, or 4 hertz.

>2015
>not owning a Saddam Hussein watch

Just bought one of these. Not bad for $23

Thinking about copping can someone confirm it's real

>>9477613
if you do that this is what you get

>>9485530

>>9485535

whatya think of my new, first "serious" watch wich i actually spent a bit of money on

>>9485566
I think that GANT makes great clothes, but shitty watches.

>>9485690
Looking at their website, it looks like a lot of them use seiko chrono movements, which are gud
it's a bit overpriced like everything with a clothing brand name on it, but not terrible

>>9485132
What are some good quartz watches?

>>9486032
What price? Seiko grand quartz comes to mind.

>>9483583
where did you get that picture? looks like a girl i know

>>9486061
the internet

How do I make my pictures not sideways. They are normal when I take and view them, but not when I upload them. Anyway here is a watch

>>9486308
What phone OS do you have?

>>9486319
I should of specified. It's an iPad, I've got no idea about Apple shit, strictly a windows user until I got this gifted to me. Also is thst watch any good?

>>9486337
I also don't know shit about apple products. Knowing apple, though, they didn't include an actual photo rotator in their editing software. 4chan strips EXIF data because people were getting doxed but that's also where pseudorotation data is saved.
Take a screenshot of the pictures you take after you take them and upload that, it should do the trick. power button + home button if you don't know.

HEY GUYS HELP ME DECIDE ON A WATCH (pic unrelated)

Me either, they are so shit. Just after I posted I realised an easy fix, just taking my photos in snapchat instead of the camera.

>>9483036
Rolex(s) owner here. Yeah the date font just looks off, but could be unquie. Only way to know if you pop off the band and look at the serial number when the 6 hour is located. Either way, looks really damn beautiful. And its not a boys size yo

>>9486373
I'm not a big fan of any of them besides the third, but do not pay that amount for a Quartz. Check out seiko sarb models, they will be in your price range. Here is a pic of the sarb033

>>9486373

>>9485535
>>9485538
Not to be annoying but can someone confirm the watch is legit

>>9486415
I don't understand the appeal of Swiss watches with eta movements. That seiko has an in house movement and I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about it. Maybe a Steinhart ocean one or vintage military would float your boat a bit better

>>9486427
Here>>9486395
Nice watch m8

/g/ senpai can you tell me what kind of strap this is?

>>9486439
Leather nato

>>9486439
a google search for "rugged leather NATO" will give you what you're searching for. assuming that you're specifically after that kind of texture and finishing.

>>9486436
not saying it's bad. it's actually really good and worth the price. just doesn't have that extra umph factor of swiss made watches

>>9486454
yes i like that exact one it loosk much nicer than other leather natos ive seen

>>9486454
>>9486530
thank you

$62 auto/sapphire/ceramic sub homage I got a few weeks ago from China

>>9486583

This looks cheap af

>>9486308

hello grandpa

>>9486873
It was $62 nigga, what do you expect

>>9486583
Looks standard. Inoffensive design, even if it is terrible quality which it doesn't appear to be it wasn't very expensive

>>9486873

$62 is cheap AF bruh

>>9486901

yeah it's exactly what it's supposed to be

not trying to be anything it isn't

I'll have cooler watches someday when I can afford them but for now sterile homages w/ decent movements are a good look

Could do with a bit of a clean but I love this thing to death.

my first 'half decent' watch that i've owned is this. looking to get something a bit nicer when i start my new job though.. what sort of brands would you guys recommend in the 300-600 ballpark? be nice pls, i am not an experienced watchfag.

>>9486962
Armani make average watches, they don't even make them, someone else does and Armani put their branding on it, I'll post a guide, at the risk of spouting this too many times, seiko sarbs are good. Tissot, Steinhart, seiko are brands for you to look into

>>9486032
don't listen to /g/-kun. that Timex is absolutely fine. I don't see why anybody would take an automatic chronograph (!) over a chronograph with quartz movement anyway.
quartz is more accurate anyway.

>>9486415
japanese watches compete with swiss movements any day. commit sudoku if you don't believe in grorious nippon

>>9486373

I'd love to become an IP lawyer. Damn, they charge so much. But half of them are complete dumbfucks that don't even know what their doing. Most of the time, I'm the one telling them the shit.

So long IWC Portugal...

I think this watch looks nice. What's the consensus on Tissot? Is it worth the price?

>>9489272
yes but not this particular model. get an automatic tissot.

>>9489160
>clownface

>>9489272
Tissots usually have a generic ETA movement if you want a quality time piece you might want to just save more and buy an ORIS or a vintage Tudor

>>9489160
o...okay

>>9489551
You do realize that both of those brands use exclusively ETA movements, right?
And that ETA movements are good? I don't know what you're getting at here.

What do you guys think of the Seiko SKX173?

Also should I get this serviced? I got it as a gift but I kinda like the old look to it. I'm thinking about changing the Twix O' Flex with a leather band.

Hey. Watchmaker in progress here. So far I'm only allowed to service pocket watches And larger clocks. Ask anything.

>>9490698
Who wears a pocket watch in 2015?

>>9490793
The same people who wear fedoras,

>>9490698
you should consider coming to /g/'s thread, I think interest might be higher there.

>>9490693
Definitely switch to a leather strap. Do you know the serial number on the movement? Do you know when the watch was last serviced?
Don't send it to Omega for service, they'll polish the shit out of it and it'll come looking brand new. If you like the old look to it take it to an independent jeweller who can service it.

>>9490804
>>9490793
Ever heard of collectors?

>>9490204
I like mine, I can dress it up with a super jubilee band or relax it and put a NATO on it. Plus the lume on it is second to none that i've seen

thoughts?

>>9492032
Personally not too hot on the idea of a sporty diver with roman numbers.
Looks bulky and brand alone makes sure that it's quite a few thousands.
Microbrand diver and pre-owned tank / reverso would be a more sensible option but if you're loaded and want it why not.

>>9490698
You should never rest the balance assembly on its bottom pivot like that, especially on a watch as old as a pocket watch.
