It's not but they had better style and understanding of proportions. Now everything has to be 40mm. It's insane, looks like a dinnerplate. Evetything besides heavy duty sports watches shouldn't be above 38mm. Reissues being bumped up to 38+mm when they were 33-36, thus ruining the proportions, is especially agregious. Cucks will say "a perfect blend of old and new :^)" Pic very much related. I really wish we could go back to 60s and before watch design

40mm is absolutely massive. The only watches that were 40mm before the late 70s were purpose built pilot watches. Hell chronographs used to be 36-38 mm until the 80s. I'm not saying we need to go back to 30mm dress watches but everything is comically oversized now. It's a fucking joke, and if you aren't an obese American everything looks like some clown shit. There is no good reason for every dive watch on the market to be 42mm+. There is even less of a good reason for any dress watch to be over 36mm.

However Stallone is an action star, Stallone works the fuck out. But nowdays you find Panerais almost exclusively on the wrists of office drones, going on about "did you know this bad boy was used by the Italian navy? Heh you can say I'm kind of a badass :^)" Your grandpa wearing his 33mm timex wasn't a wristlet, he just happened to be born at a time where watch designers knew what the fuck they were doing.

I’m going to buy myself a watch for my birthday, and I’ve been thinking as to which watch to get.
I finally have a job where I can afford a nice one, but I’m definitely trying to stay on the cheaper side. Maybe get a used one.
I like the look of submariners, or at least more industrial gadget looking watches.
Been really thinking a Tudor Black Bay, however I’ve heard doesn’t have a ceramic bezel and will scratch easily.
I like the Omega Seamaster but it looks a bit too...feminine? I dunno.
I like numbered bezels.

Real talk, if you genuinely want the sub nothing else will satisfy you until you get one. Don't waste 5k on a watch that you'll resell for 3k down the line to buy the sub you want.

42mm probably. A lot depends on the watch. 40mm is considered normal, albeit the upper limit, for a dress watch these days but on a 6 inch wrist it will seem large no matter how tasteful so you would have to go for 36mm. For an everyday watch 38-40mm will be fine. You could pull off a diver depending on the diver, some of them have very tight cases and/or sloped lugs so they wear smaller.

omega is a bitch-tier brand it's a good thing you don't like them. Its the swiss brand for gooks. Most of what they make is busy, overproduced garbage. Omega pumps out endless variations of each SKU which devalues the brand as a whole.

Dive watches are kind of a funny style. Pretty much everything priced below the submariner, wishes it was the submariner.

You could try looking at blancpain fifty fathoms but that's a pretty similar price to a submariner. But you will get watch geeks creaming themselves over it. It's the original dive watch, predates the submariner.

Honestly if I was in the market for a dive watch I'd either get a seiko prospex or submariner. Spending more than the seiko on NOT a submariner is just pissing money away.

No. Tissot sucks. They are literally intentionally made to be as bare bones as it gets to serve as a baseline rather than being allowed to excel on their own. You can see where sacrifices were made and development stagnated to entice you to buy something better than a Tissot. In the 400 dollar range you can get a bunch of good used watches from Seiko, Hamilton, whatever microbrand you like, or you have your pick of excellent vintage watches

Apparently you really don't have a grasp on how heirlooms work. They might sell it, they might wear it, you don't know.

Omega: Looks like shit and they'll probably never wear it because of that. When they go to the pawn shop, the guy offers them a pittance. They sell it just to continue the grieving process.

Rolex: "Nice watch anon, where did you get it?" "Thanks, it's passed down from my dad. I hope I can give it to my kid someday." They wear the watch with pride regularly. People admire their vintage rolex with an authentic patina.

no, retard. you are the one who doesn't know how heirlooms work. what kind of faggot sells his dad's watch? you obviously bought into that fucking stupid swiss propaganda about muh heritage and "durrr you don't own a patek you just keep it for the next generation hurrr"
trying to say that a watch's value going up matters so you can leave it to your kid is fucking stupid, because your kid is not going to sell their dad's watch, regardless of what that watch is. they might wear it, they might not wear it, but they won't sell it, so the value is completely meaningless. if your kid does sell it, you are a failure as a father.

The point of an heirloom is that it's passed down and not sold retard. Monetary value doesn't matter. Looks are subjective and it's more about the feeling and person who it's associated with.

honestly you cannot tell it is fake from the photo, you would need to see it in person. Which is why I know this other guy is jerking my chain about "your sub is fake". I see you samefagging and trolling for (you)s dude.

The tells that the Milgauss is fake:
- Movement does not hand wind smoothly. Feels like there are rocks in the movement.
- Second hand 'jerks' while ticking. Not jerks like a quartz. It sweeps mostly smoothly, but there if you look closely you can see it jump.
- the "ROLEX" engraving around the edge of the watch is rough. On a replica it looks pixellated under high magnification.
- Laser engraved crown at 6 o clock is too visible. You can see it with the naked eye, on a real rolex you'll need a loupe.
- Printed text is not as crisp on a real rolex, again only visible under high magnification

it is more visible in person because the text on a real rolex is slightly raised and the paint reflects some light, which adds to the overall glint/shine of the watch.

the aqua terra line has basically been transitioned from a diver to a watch you can wear anywhere, mixing dress and sport. they tried to do that with the seamaster professional 300 but that was more of a very pretty, suave dive watch, slim enough to go under the cuff and look good with a suit but still a tool watch. the new professional 300Ms have more of a tool aesthetic. they're thicker, more substantial, and the diving elements are actually emphasized with a deeper cut wave texture and bigger helium valve.
to offset that the aqua terra is now leaning harder towards the dress watch side to fill that niche. people give omega shit for making a million editions of each watch but I admire this, because it results in some interesting colorways like the one you posted where the pop of color with the seconds hand contrasting the stark black and white, high texture dial makes it look classic but bold, almost art deco. the lack of overt crown protection is also very tasteful and it keeps the classic omega design language in the lugs and the 6 o'clock date surrounded by a subtly stepped window is perfect. I think they really nailed it with the new aqua terras, they're fun but versatile and people are sleeping on them as a whole because the new seamaster pro 300s are overshadowing them.

For someone whose interest in collecting is precision, it's hard to find a more historically interesting brand than citizen. In mechanical watches, their Glorious line was an absolutely top-tier spec, going up against Seiko VFAs and the tightest Swiss specs from Girard Perregaux, Longines, and others. Their electronic and early quartz movements pushed the limits of what was possible with balance wheel movements, hitting 6Hz and 16Hz, respectively. Their 4Mhz quartz movements in the early quartz period hit a 3spy spec, one of the tightest in history. Interestingly, they've maintained their position for decades as makers of the most accurate watches in the world, having done so both through high-frequency crystals, as well as thermocompensation - and with their EcoDrive technology, your watch can run for years and years, keeping time with uninterrupted precision. And with the release of the 0100 - an 8Mhz, thermcompensated watch with a rated precision of ONE (1) SPY, Citizen has truly cemented their undisputed place in history as the horologist's watchmaker.

Why would anyone buy a fake of a model which has many chinese and/or japanese homages that're far better value than a fake, or the real thing?

I've seen videos of fakes being taken apart, and it's fairly clear that the tradeoff between having fake branding and knockoff branding is that the latter has a decent entry-level movement and the fake is some completely bullshit china standard movement made in what China has for Buttfuck, Idaho.

Titanium in a watch is a pretty pointless material IMO. You get none of the material advantage for what, 5 times the price and you save a couple ounces of weight? When was the last time you had trouble raising your arm because your watch was too heavy?
