My Watch Thread

[Anonymous No.15544480]

For the love of God, can we please have a watch thread that shows something different and not sown on every other watch thread from this board?
-No Rolex
-No Seiko
-No Citizen
-No Hamilton
-No Omega
No number of jewels on face - instant disqualification
Pics related are mine; I would love to get a Damasko or Sinn

I received my Stowa not too long ago. I thought I didn’t care for the strap at first, but after breaking it in for a month it feels much more comfortable.

This is the true based watch design, especially if you wear a watch with the face on the inner side of your wrist.

Been wearing this a lot recently, it was my grandads. 1974. Had a bit of work done by an Accutron specialist but it's pretty noisy, to the point where I have to put it in a draw when I'm not wearing it because it gives me headache.

I'm rich fag and posted in /wt/ before I was rich, I don't post my PP or VC as it leaves a bad taste in /wt/. So I just post my shitters. I think most others are too busy being rich. I just like reading the shit posts still.

Yeah like super high pitched ringing sound like you sometimes hear with electrical items. It's a 'feature' of the tuning fork mechanism and probably one of the reasons they never caught on.

The new Stowa came, next day delivery from Germany, pretty impressed. For all the shit
/wt/ gives the cases, the bushing is excellent! Clearly they never held one. Strap very comfortably out of the box.

A few models do and the richest of the richfags usually go for individual craftsmen or brands with more exclusivity than those who just do unlimited runs and rely on ADs to create scarcity.
No, it's not just Rolex doing that.
PP is slowly turning into Rolex, the higher price point is the only difference.

y'know, I'm really glad fucking Tag of all people makes some
goes to show just how inflated the value of these things is
also, Rolex won't do stuff like this because at this point, they understand they don't even need to bother with costly R&D when they can put jewels on a DayDate and people will still pay as much as they would do for some brand new innovation
it would actually be less profitable for them to

That's a bargain for the most innovative watch of 1956.
Seriously, the way luxury watches prices are frozen when it comes to innovation is something else.
Imagine paying an extra 10k for your car because it has electric windows and that was all the rage back in the' days.

Thoughts on the Vostok Europe as a brand and is $350 too much for the 2426-5605239? Vostok 2426 movement. With VE it always feels like you can get something better for the money, but I really like their "limousine" line. Great office watch.

[Anonymous No.15547994]

>>15547982
vostok europe is different company from vostok proper
its kinda big (like all VE watches)
but i guess for a GMT it cant be helped.

the vostok gmt is only $80 and uses the same movement.
but $350 is not that much and reasonable for a watch if you like it. The other western consideration i can think of would be the glycine airman gmt, $500 using an ETA movement.

Generally, red dials work more on sportier watches. Red dress watches seem like something only a person with high sex drive could pull off. I preferred the amber dial for the presage.

[Anonymous No.15548080]

>>15547994
Yeah, I know all about them. I can read Russian as well and just checked their website. I don't think I'll ever wear a Vostok because it's too nautical themed for me, and I can't swim, and I'll never find myself on a more serious type of boat to justify it to myself as it will not look good in my surroundings. Another one I like, it's also available in brown strap/rose gold numerals.
