hmmm I'd maybe agree with you if you're planning to buy a simple dress watch like pictured, then I'd go for vacheron or breguet personally. but in terms of a watch with fantastic quality complications, JLC is undoubtedly the best value for money

Value-for-money is not something I consider when looking at watches in that price category.

Breguet and Vacheron are both being put to shame with regards to craftsmanship when compared to Urban Jürgensen. Take Breguet for example, their guilloche dials are made of gold, and then plated in silver, as gold is soft and cheaper to use for that kind of dial. But this results in a lower-quality guilloche pattern as the grooves are not as sharp and clean. If you want excellence, solid silver is the way to go. But Breguet cheat.

Another example is the moon-phase disc. Vacheron just paint theirs, like most others. Urban Jürgensen thermally blue their discs, and the moons are press-fitted into them by hand, and the stars are made of gold dust which is sprinkled in and then melted.

Nobody in the mainstream watch industry does the kind of work that UJ does. Not Patek, not Vacheron, no Breguet, not Jaeger, not anyone.

Perhaps not what YOU look for but the difference between an £8000 watch and a £15000 watch makes a huge difference for most people

If he's looking at JLC, he is most likely wanting to be price-conscious about his purchase, as well he should

Hahaha stop trying to force your purchase on other people. The majority of what makes a watch is what's inside, not how many fairies rubbed their cunts on the dial

hey /fa/, stylish /k/ommando here, I've got some nice luxury watches but im looking for a luxury smart watch with a classic style and im looking in the 800 to 1500 range, though i could go higher.

id like to find everthing i want in one watch, but it doesnt seem that you can get good memory battery life and apps in a package that also includes gps/glonass

im thinking about getting 2 watches to compensate for that, but really want opinions, maybe something that im missing.

watches im considering:

garmin fenix chronos with leather band

samsung gear 3

tag hauer connected

Are you picking it up as a project bike or purely for transportation?, if it's the latter IMO get something modern and comfortable - old CBs aren't particularly fast or comfortable.

If it's the former - they're incredibly fun project bikes because they're very basic, straight forward and you can mod just about every single part of the bike - if that sounds like something you'd like to do you should head over to youtube and watch a couple CB engine rebuild vids, HackaweekTV has a couple great ones.

Get it to a garage for a compression test before you buy.

don't be silly, and don't overthink it. it goes on your wrist, same as a bracelet, bangle, or cuff. do you see any of these with a big round eye sore on them?

listen, it's purely psychological; people's semantic notion of what a clock or a watch should look like. Maybe you're too young but when some of us were little kids, learning to tell time, they put this clock in front of you and it imprints itself and it's hard to get away from that even when you're an adult.

the round face is a sorely mismatched design for a wrist.

I was into mechanical watches of the mid range for the intricate handiwork and precision needed to make them work.

That ran into a snag when I realized most mid-range mechanical watches use majority machine made swiss movements that are mass produced. These same movements are in many cases the ones in knockoff watches of higher caliber watches. Meaning sometimes the knockoffs are indistinguishable from the real thing as far as mechanics goes.

Even high end brands like Panerai have used standard movements for a long time.

So what are you paying for then? Literally just the brand name and a fancy box.

>>12210290
>Its the same thing with any luxury item; if you buy a Ferrari, you know its going to cost an arm and a dick to buy it.

You are supposed to be able to find the quality differences in the luxury items. A handmade shoe with good leather isn't the same as a mass produced shitty leather one. A Ferrari shouldn't be a Ford car with a Ferrari shell on top of it. Would people still pay for it then?

There has to be a line with luxury items where you realize it's just a scam.

Technology wise the High Frequency Quartz watches coming up now are extremely accurate, far more than a mechanical watch could ever be. They last years on a battery, require minimal service.

The solar power Citizen type watches are ugly as shit but again for technology they've got watches that'll run decades with no battery changes, losing maybe a minute a year.

They do when it comes to old engines and 40 years is definitely not young.
The reasons people are more careful with motorcycles is quite straight forward -
1. it's a lot more likely that they've been damaged
2. as a motorcyclist you're a million times more reliant on the performance of your bike than a car driver - it can make the difference between life and death

I think eventually I might be able to shell out 15k$ maximum for a watch.

I want shit that is aesthetic, yet attention grabbing.

Is Rolex too "dadcore" or is it classic?

Should I get an entry level AP?

What about other brands?

Please no Omega, I would never buy a watch with that name. Associates with omega males.

I'm considering Rolex, JLC, Maurice Lacroix, entry level AP.

As far as cost goes, I actually pay very little for watches, since I buy them not working and restore them myself most of the time is an easy fix like a bad battery or capacitor for quartz movements or a cleaning and oiling for mechanical.

Are there really automatic watches being sold in twenty fucking seventeen that don't have hacking?

Price isn't even excuse because the Seiko NH35 movement has manual wind and hacking and it appears in watches less than $100.

What possible excuse can a company have for releasing a non hacking watch?

What is hacking for an auto watch?

[Anonymous No.12215604]

>>12215577
Being even cheaper than $100. A baseline Seiko 5 with a 7S26 is $55.

The seconds hand doesn't move when you pull the crown out the adjust the time.

You might as well pay that extra $45 and get hacking and winding though.

I have non hacking watches but I only find that acceptable since they're over 40 years old.

Hacking isn't horte horology anymore.

Can you guys suggest me a good casio watch(max 50 euros/dollars budget?

[Anonymous No.12215782]

Literally any Casio. They'll all use the same quartz movement, and it all boils down to aesthetics.
