>Someone please explain to me what the appeal of these microbrands is?

It's the appeal of a smaller community. Everyone wants to have what Panerai owners had 15-20 years ago.
By the early 2000s, Panerai had made, in total less than 10,000 watches over their entire existence. So even just owning one made you part of a super-special club, that was legitimately about watches and friendship, not about being a rich asshole.

With Rolex, Omega, etc, you can't do that because there's always someone who will have a better collection and it's constant flexing. You have a Speedmaster? Big deal, I have four. You have four? Big deal, I have a 321. A 321? That's cute, I have an Ultraman.

[Anonymous No.17068460]

>>17068453

The fact that you keep coming back around to price and prestige when literally no one else has brought it up suggests you're deeply insecure.

In fact, you don't need to be. We like an interesting collection. If all a collection has going for it is high price, we typically call it boring.

Definitely a unique design aesthetic. Their designer is a photographer by trade so he designs watches with an eye to how well they photograph. (Perfect for an Instagram world.)

I owned one. I found it to be very well made and surprisingly comfortable. They tend to fit small wrists pretty well too because their lugs are short. Ultimately I flipped it because I got tired of the look.

It's one of the very few microshitter brands that is actually trying something unique instead of cranking out the same lazy

I have a timex chronograph and it kinda sucks. The seconds and two of the chronograph hands are misaligned. The chronograph function completely stopped working after 3 years and servicing costs more than buying a new watch. I've read online that the timex chronographs are much more prone to breaking so my experience may not be that uncommon.
You can get a Casio with the same functionality, better durability and quality control for the same price. If you like the looks of chronographs, save up and get a more expensive one that has actual quality control.

Omegay Semenmaster Planet Cope-cean.

The first gen version with the 2500D movement was the best they ever made. Reasonable size, reasonable thickness, nice design cues that call back to the Seamaster 300 of the late 1960s.

It's not really, it has the same module as the GW-S5600 and everything else is entirely up to what floats your boat. I prefer the GW-5000 because I like the steel core and screw back case, don't personally find the resin core worth paying a premium for.

>Audemars Piguet moved up two places to fourth position and achieved a record year, the best in its history. It overtakes historical competitor Patek Philippe which, despite its enormous desirability and the buzz created by the Tiffany & Co. edition of the Nautilus ref. 5711, did not experience the same virtuous cycle as Audemars Piguet.

>Audemars Piguet is surfing on an unbroken wave of the success with the Royal Oak, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and will undoubtedly contribute to another record year. We estimate that almost 90% of its sales are generated by the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore, but the Code 11:59 collection launched in January 2019 is starting to make its mark and accounts for 5% of sales.

American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Eddie Murphy while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger penises instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers

That is the reason why Casio and Seiko wearers are virile: they're young, they're not yet so fat and sedentary as to have lost their mojo. Those are watches for young middle class people, or ones that poorfags can afford once in their lifetimes when they turn 40.

This used to be true, but not anymore. Now it is literally impossible to just casually buy a Rolex, you need to play the AD wank game or sit on a waiting list for 6-36 months. Or you're paying grey market prices and buying one for the same price as an objectively nicer watch because R O L E X. For anyone with a remotely desirable new Rolex from the past 2-5 years, it is still a weird ass all consuming thing.

I work in finance, none of our execs or senior management have rolexes because they're not big watch guys. I have seen a Ball, Longines, IWC, Omega, aka the stuff you can buy in store on the day without any fuss, but never any of the hypebeast, waiting list, let the ad fuck your wife, or pay 500% msrp watches.

The next 5 years will be interesting imo as prices either continue to come down, grey market gets wrecked, and we return to normality OR collectors and autists keep buying up this stuff to the point that it isn't cool anymore because nobody knows anyone with one of those watches who isn't obsessed with it.

Called basically all the Tudor ADs on the east coast of australia today confirming once again none of them have any bb pro in stock (or even bb58 for most of them), and none of them have any idea how many they will get/when. Some of the ADs I talked to tried to tell me "oh Tudor has become very desirable and incredibly in demand, similar to rolex", and a few asked me about purchase history.

Based on WUS, r/watchexchange, and c24 it looks like a ton of people are trying to sell above retail, but the only ones moving are at or very slightly above msrp+tax+shipping. Basically it looks like there's plenty of demand for these at retail, but it is definitely not a bb chrono situation. I'm going to the states next month and will try to buy one there, it looks like Rolex/Tudor have zero interest in sending any watches to Australia, probably because all the ADs here just hand then off immediately to resellers.

I also double checked that I was still on the waiting list and it turns out every place actually took my details down correctly so that was a pleasant surprise.

my favorite thing about the sports 5 is that I know far more genuinely wealthy people which wear them regularly than rich niggers or 30k millionaires or anyone on /fa/ that exists here only to address their massive dissonance for buying such a stupid fucking watch. i work in enterprise sales and regularly meet with c-suite peoples and every single one wears a seiko or casio -- rolex and equivalent is reserved for bdr managers and marketing execs. in other words, attaching some fucking image to a watch is the most autistic shit imaginable and is done solely by retards with massive cognitive dissonance for bending over for their rollie so they can look as cool as the chiraq drug dealer with a decent $400 rep
not to say rolex or equivalent are bad watches; they arent, obviously, but the brands are fucking jokes and the day I hear a watch I own in some mumble rap is the day I sell it

They're tied. The DLCd metal case makes it the most durable, and screwback is a plus, once you try it you can never go back. You can service it forever. However the carbon fiber strap is the most durable, and the backplate on that one is titanium.

I'd say if you want "the" """heirloom" square go for the 5000 with metal case. If you want lightweight and thinnner profile definately go for the titanium and carbon fiber.

>and screwback is a plus, once you try it you can never go back.
Not true. Once you realize that all the screwdown caseback actually gets you is increased weight and thickness it's quite easy to go back. The toughness is identical. It doesn't have to pass any additional tests.

Demonstrate to us where the additional value is in the nearly 100% markup between an M5610 and a 5000.

>inb4 Hurr Made in Japan better
No, it's made by identical machines. Also, Japanese law says that anything can be labeled made in Japan if a Japanese company owns the factory and its staffed by Japanese overseers, even if that factory and its workers are in Thailand.

>inb4 Hurr Screwdown better
You can't prove that either, since both watches are rated to identical 200m of water resistance

Anything made in japan holds better value even if it's made by machines. People are willing to pay for it. The steel case is less likely to get damaged when replacing the strap even for an ape. The screws fit better and are easier to exchange. It's literally how the majority of watches in the world are built. It's literally the standard. I don't know what to tell you bro you're real retarded. I'm going to keep enjoying my quality watches and telling everyone to buy them because it's just better and it makes everyone happy.

I am poor, but I don't own a Casio. Watches are almost always no longer needed for their functionality, they're pretty much only jewelry today. If watches are jewelry then Casio's and G-shock's are plastic jewelry or overpriced stainless steel jewelry.

this is mega retarded, all watches have a limited service life. Imagining you're going to buy a watch and have it in 30, 40, 50 years is just dumb. Especially if it's some shitter, you're just going to decide to chuck it in 10, 20 years even if it's functional just because the shit's been beaten out of it and it's crunchy and a new one is like $50 (or whatever it'll be in BidenBucks by them). Or, holy fuck, you may just decide you like a new watch more.

For every boomer sitting and sipping over his 20 year old g-shock there's like 1000 people just said "fuck it" and tossed- for good reason.

>NOOOOOO IT'LL EVENTUALL RUST OUT AND THE LUGS WILL BREAK AND

only a problem if you've duped yourself into believing shit lasts forever, and you're going to buy one watch and have it forever.
I think this is a problem with retards generally- instead of recognizing products have limited lifespans and they can imagine their purchase as costing $X a day of use until their demise, they just believe shit will last forever and then are horrified and gobsmacked when their cat takes a shit on it
