OP having a quite simply ugly dial with colorful balls? I can't imagine anyone pulling it off except if you are a certified retard.

Daytona with the metal band around the bezel is the stupidest shit ever. Why'd you add a thin layer of softer material before the harder to scratch material?

Did anyone besides Rolex fanboys and collectors give two tugs of a dead dog's cock about 1908?

Because you can alter many things that are related to daily wear concerns: increase power reserve, decrease range of accuracy, etc. The basic lever escapement is the same, even with 3-d printed parts or silicon balance springs, so like Formula 1, watchmakers try to take certain elements to extreme precision to see if they get an advantage.

You are all special people, never forget that. If you feel like the world is crushing you, let the pressure fall off your shoulders and focus on being strong. If you're strong, you can make a difference, even if it's just something that you perceive as being small (i.e. helping an old lady cross the street). Buy what you love, and to hell with the rest. Good luck, and thank you for being real.

I like it, but beware that 2-tone is not desirable, and any attempt by sellers to inflate the desirability (i.e. 'violet' vs. 'blue' dial) should always be suspect. Anon, I'll be real with you: a datejust is a poor-man's day-date, so safe up and wait until you find something that is perfect for you. Granted, if you love this watch, go for it, but you don't need us to validate your purchase.

It is, and it's used to record elapsed time. The great thing about Lemania 5100's is that they were 'direct drive', which meant that they were especially resistant to shock when used in extreme circumstances. That, and they used a rotating cam (which effectively is a 'column wheel' in function) and a vertical clutch, increasing the accuracy. Fucking awesome and bulletproof movement. When you combine the movement being awesome with the best legibility of the possible iterations within Omega, you get a 'Grail' version of the watch. Mine.

>>17856506
I understand Anon. Honestly, one has to always balance whether the grey-market price is really worth it, all in. It's a cool piece, but it doesn't make me hard throughout.

>>17856507
Thanks Anon...fuck that shit though. You want to know my list?

1) Roger Smith
2) A Lange und soehne.
3) Patek (but only for pocket watches)
4) Vacheron Constantin (for thin wristwatches)
5) JLC Tourbillons
6) Omega for general collection
7) Zenith for general tech.

And the rest. I'd put Sir George Daniels above all, but his surviving watches and pocket watches are unobtainable (hence Roger Smith).

There is always something one wants that is impossible to get, so at one point it because useless to mention it. I've seen Daniels' work in the British Museum...that's enough for me. I've accepted that it's better for humanity to benefit from enjoying the pieces instead of them being held privately by me.

Fair enough, but he did ask. I am rather conservative in my tastes, and I like the re-invention and rejuvenation of British time-keeping, from an aesthetic standpoint, like the wall clocks at Greenwich. Roger Smith understands this, amongst other very important things. Lange is highest amongst popular mass-production high-horology in terms of finishing, Patek is remarkable for pocket watches (and a great value if you buy grey market), Vacheron for their design line, JLC for their movements, Omega because they speak to me, and Zenith because they know how to build watches that can do amazing things.

I understand if you don't like it Anon...but I have reasons why my list exists as is. What are you wearing today Anon? You should share it with us!

I've currently got pic related as my watch I use every day rain or shine, dry or wet, etc.
I love that it's really minimal in size, weight, protrusions, and simplicity. It handles water like any other and has a battery life of two to three or so years (I've changed battery once on mine) What I don't like is how it looks like a cheap kids watch.

What should I buy that will function as well or better but actually looks good? I'm thinking something like a stainless steel circular body with light brown leather straps and a simple analog dial with numbers.

I had a insight on watches as I was thinking
There is one key feature that a swiss high end luxury brands have that cannot be replicated by shitters/casios/seikos and the like, can you guess what that is?
I will spoil it for you
They are the only watches that can accurately tell you in real time if your society is collapsing or not.
How?
Simple, if you feel at risk of being robbed/killed for wearing it, it sends a signal to you that your society is failed and you should, let's say replace your leaders
This might actually be the most valuable complication of a watch, even more so than actually telling the time.
