I dont know why people larp as rich or snob fags. People, specially murricans, are obsessed with money and stupid consumerism.

Im pretty old by 4chan and specially /fa/ standards, and i dont earn six figures (well maybe this year ill do but only due to some exceptional stuff). My bank acount is like 130.000€ and i only own two good apartments. It doesnt get much more middle class than that, maybe a bit upper for my country but anyway... im good.

So, i dont own any watches that i paid more than 1000€ for, and enjoy my shitters no matter what you kids say; actually enjoy the dumb shit i see here.

[Anonymous No.14387109]

So after some more digging the non-tourbillon omega I'm looking for probably had a 30T2 RG movement. I've found ones which had all the correct dial elements, but the case isn't a jumbo (37.5mm) so the proportions were wrong. The hour hand is too short in pic related, the seconds subdial isn't quite large enough and the triangular indices are relatively shorter.

[Anonymous No.14387114]

>>14387109
Then there's this one which has the right proportions between the hands & subdial, but not all the dial elements are right.

[Anonymous No.14387120]

So I'm starting to think this exact dial is a one off, just like the tourbillon itself. The two previous do get very close, but it's just not the same.

[Anonymous No.14387136]

>>14387114
Those proportions look fucked to be, mate. Subdial too big, numerals too small.

[Anonymous No.14387143]

>>14387136
I don't think so. It's pretty close to what dufour used too.

[Anonymous No.14387147]

>>14387120
So, what are you gonna do?
Make it your life's goal to buy or steal the tourbillon? Or kill yourself?
Or the least likely, just get a similar one.

Also, you find any old Seamasters for sale in good condition, that look similar to your white whale? For under 1000?
I've been looking once in a while, but you seem to be the expert.

[Anonymous No.14387153]

>>14387143
Pretty sure those numerals are bigger. Also the circle in middle makes it look nicer.

[Anonymous No.14387159]

>>14387147
Honestly if I find a steel one like >>14387109 in good condition I'll probably jump on that. I could try emailing omega themselves to see if they have any info, or if they can make a replica of the tourbillon dial but I doubt they'll do that.

Notice how not a single of the seething fashion victims is saying a word because they know how they'd get destroyed.
It's some strange coping mechanics when people, that can't afford expensive watches, defend the brand as hard as they can.
They don't even want to hear how rigged the system is against them and were brainwashed by marketing to feel like it is a privilege to give your money to some brand.

But those watches on the picture are not replicas. even if they were they aren't the dhgate specials. Those would be like 1k/piece.
Look at the iceblue. Endlinks are perfect. No gaps. Dial nice and detailed. RO next to it nice polish. Dial nice and detailed. Gold RO looks like real gold. Chopard, nice blue-ing, finely printed subdial. Not even sure if they rep that. Blabla, you get the point. Call me when they make this good reps.

Go to a dealer and pay a premium. Ask him all the right questions before buying, if he's legit he will tell you if anything has been replaced or restored. Good luck.
Check past auction results, ask people on ig about prices. How much do you care if it still has the dial or pushers it was born with? How important are box and papers (which usually don't say a thing about provenance with vintage shit) to you?

Plenty of pilot like looking ones, Seiko/Citizen have a few pilot like models the Flightmaster or a pilot styled Promaster like the nighthawk.

On the vintage end you can get a decent Poljot 3133 for which even the standard civilian versions look stellar. A few 7A28 Seikos may be found for that price but nothing else comes to mind at up to 500$.
