what is the most cringiest and ugliest watch i can buy right now

[Anonymous No.18267719]

What's a watch you love from a brand you don't otherwise like?
For me, it's the Basculante.
Cartier does nothing but botch its century old catalog of great designs and puts shitty quartz movements everywhere while charging as much as some well built automatics from fairly legit brands.
But the Basculante tickles my pp the right way.

It's 36mm in diameter and 11mm thick, handwind movement, no bullshit springdrive. I think they've nailed it with this one. The proportions are spot on.

The op is a sports watch. The iwc is a dressy chrono. Only chinamen have been buying those of late hence all the pics of those hairless, effeminate riny wrists with a massive iwc balancing on it looking ridiculous.
If you're the latter, go the op as it will look less dumb on you. If you have thick, bearlike wrists then you could wear the port no probs.
Versatility-wise the op wins out, and you would tire of the iwc in the end unless you really want a dressy chrono for some reason. Op already has a bracelet for warm weather.

Am I the only person who feels like sporty watches actually have more of an obligation to be small and slim than dress watches?
Most complicated watches are dress watches and complications *need* dial and movement space. That aside, with a strap the actual case itself is naturally the center of attention and gets to steal the show away from the strap. A sports (not tool) watch however should wear like a bracelet that's *also* a watch, not like a hockey puck glued to a bracelet. Just compare the sizing of the classic ingenieur and the current one, or the overseas for that matter.
I get that the op is sleeker and more fashionable and as such in a sense more tasteful, but I'm not sure I agree with "dressy".

[Anonymous No.18268444]

>>18268429
>Am I the only person who feels like sporty watches actually have more of an obligation to be small and slim than dress watches?

A sporty watch's obligation is to serve the sport it's designed for. e.g. a dive watch has to have good lume, high legibility, and, naturally, water resistance. A designer can make it as small and slim as he likes so long as he doesn't compromise on the important parts.

A dress watch is only obligated to be elegant. That usually means they have to be thin since, if they can't fit under a shirt cuff, your short won't fit right and you'll look goofy.
As for the size of the dress watch: that is governed by the size of your wrist. A 42mm dress watch would probably look fine on the wrist of a sumo wrestler, but look silly on an average wrist.

For most men, their dress watch should be smaller than their sports watch and they have no idea how to shop for one. Look at all the girl's watch memes we spam ITT, for example. Some retards actually take them seriously.

>Semi-sporty
The Rolex. It has more water resistance and more shock resistance. A bracelet is also considered sportier than an alligator skin strap. The IWC is not quite a dress watch but it's something you'd wear to the office in a business casual setting.

>The IWC is only 1mm wider and thicker.
A word of advice: you should not go by numbers alone. The numbers actually do a pretty poor job of describing how a watch wears on the wrist, due to various factors like case shape and bezel width.

Rolexes, for example, tend to look larger than their numbers suggest, because the Oyster case is closer to cushion-shaped than round. But they also feel smaller on the wrist because their lug-to-lug distances tend to be short and their casebacks are conical, so they nestle into the wrist.

A watch like the IWC has many features that will make it look much larger than it is. Its flat caseback will make the watch sit very tall on the wrist. The all-polished will reflect a lot more light. The thin bezel means that the dial is physically larger and the size of the dial makes the watch, again, look much larger.

Seeing as the 2232 doesn't suffer from the problems of the 32xx movement series, I don't think you can really say it's shittier. They both have the same free-sprung balance on a full balance bridge.

Mine isn't particularly special; it's the replica Omega released in the 90s, but it has all of the features I love stuck together to make a frankendesign.

There are problems with it, of course:
>totally illegible when read head-on due to the handset

There's a reason it was not on my primary list, and now I know why I should never buy watches that aren't on my primary list. Still, there's a charm about it.

Love your Omega; the blue dial is stunning in person.

>>18268691
Disagree, but because the two are not related. Having a Rolex but not knowing if or when it'll shit the bed is awful; what's the point? It's just as bad as having a battery operated quartz, only the servicing is more expensive. Neo-vintage or vintage rolex is superior by far.

You might as well do that now. Prices for the early 2000s models are pretty low, I think and every year they get one year closer to no longer being neo-vintage and just regular vintage, while the new neo-vintage will be maxi case rubbish.

Neo-vintage refers to watches from the late 80s through to the early 2000s. Essentially the first of the post-Quartz Crisis watches and a period when the industry was still figuring out what it meant to be a luxury product and whether they wanted to be a luxury product at all.
They'll typically have modern features like sapphire crystals and Super-LumiNova. They'll typically have modern sizes or just slightly smaller.

take into account that 95% of the rolex buyer base are people that don't give a shit or know anything about watches and just bought jewelry from a brand they'd heard of, the kind that had to be told by the shop wagie that their datejust doesn't need batteries
of the 1.25gorillion watches rolex churns out a year the professional line makes up something like 38% of overall production, and that's the entire pro line including the gmt, explorers, seadwellers and both sub types
most rolex sold are datejusts or op's and the buyers won't notice, or care about, this slight change in accuracy that more anal retentive collectors are conscious of so they would never check
it could be very widespread, or it could just be a small issue
there is no way to check
and of the "enthusiasts" that own rolex, there's a strong psychological incentive to lash out and kneejerk react to anything that would cast aspersions on "the best watch in the world i'm so lucky the ad chose me to award one to" etc
i'm sure most of the people that clicked "no problems" on that TRF poll never even bothered to check they were so insecure and seething that anyone would dare cast any shade upon the totem they spent so much time and money in attaining.

If you're going to go down that route, then I'd say the only cheaper royalcope that's of any interest is pic related. Costs more than the aikon, but the movement is better and it's a more interesting watch overall as it's not a 90% cope. Riviera comes in sapphire blue, sapphire black/grey and a sapphire green with gold indices. Apparently you can get good discounts in store for B&M so don't be deterred by the 4k euro price tag as nobody actually pays that for these watches new.

You will be paying $400 for an automatic movement made of plastic that is so cheap, if you send the watch in for service they just replace the whole movement rather than fix it. So you tell me if the waffle pattern is worth $400.

Or, just hear me out here
Or, and I know this is going to sound a bit mad
Or, you could get a PRX. After all the Powermatic 80 is the single most important invention in mechanical horology since Roskopf's montre proletaire, and the first edition Tissot Luxury Powermatic 80 Chronometers are future classic. At first many will get discarded as getting them repaired won't be economical or even possible. However, a few decades later they will be regarded as the definitive watches of the first quarter of the 21st century. NOS examples will fetch exorbitant prices rivalling that of contemporary precious metal Rolexes.

I sincerely doubt it mostly because tissot will probably still be around and pumping them out and riding on them as the one watch they make that people would be willing to be seen wearing. You'll probably still be able to buy them new for $700.

Swiss Made only say that watch was made in Switzerland. This words are not a magic words. For example this watch is a swiss made watch, but in terms of disengs is a absolut disaster. Probably the movement is accurate and hight end finished, hoewer every other thigs is totally disaster. I dont hate Moser, the same thing happen whit moderm Patek, VC, JLC and Maxi Rolex.

That pic alone shows 4 sub references (all with 32xx calibres) for a total annual production of 409,509.
And there are many more submariner variants.
And that's just the subs, the 32xx is in other models too like the OP.

If the 32xx movement had some kind of fatal flaw, that shit would be everywhere instead of restricted to a few anecdotes.

Can you tell when you watch is seconds off stated specs in a 24hr cycle? How about whether the amplitude of the movement is too low? Because almost all buyers don't, they don't even know what the listed specs or amplitude even are nor do they have the tools to test them. It's not a fatal flaw, since the watches still work. They just aren't working to their stated specifications.

Not even a year in some cases. Some of the boomerforumers had to send their shit in again after a few months. I remember seeing a guy they has sent their watch in 3 times already. Unless rolex's qc department is utter shit there's more going on.

The sample size is enormous, there would be a lot more talk about this if it were an inherent problem with the calibre.
Instead, pretty much all accounts that actually track the timing of their 32xx-powered watch speak of amazing accuracy.

Apparently the height without the (very prominent) box crystal is 10.5mm.
That's bretty thin.

Are the dial and hands recessed into the case? Or are they like level with the height of the bezel?

From the thousands of literalwhos that only wear their watch as jewelry and rely on their smartphone? Are they going to notice their jewelry being 4s slow instead of 2? The number of people who give a shit vs the number of buyers is phenomenally low.

Forums, reviews, socials, YT comments, ...

I've been on an Oyster Perpetual review binge, and every single reviewer that tracks the timing has amazing accuracy.
Last review I watched had a deviation of 0.6 seconds in 60 days or something crazy like that.

Do a search. Thread on WUS was deleted because of fanboy butthurt. Reviewers review new watches but the problems don't appear to manifest immediately but over time, 6months to a year. Are your reviewers all using timegraphers?
Read through the linked rolexforum thread of 101 pages and search for more unless you want to keep denying this. I've only seen one yt vid addressing this but they never followed up and it's not in the personal interests of the larger shilltubers to piss off rolex or rolex fans.

>G-Shock square
Can take a beating, has a backlight, world time, and 20 bar water resistance. Solar powered version available too. Good watch for fucking around and working with your hands. Cheap enough not to worry about.

>Citizen Zenshin ($200-300 used)
Another good all-arounder metal watch. Titanium is lightweight, durable and scratch resistant. Pretty decent quartz movement inside.

>Luminox Sea Turtle
Nice diver, probably better than anything that Seiko and the likes have for sale at the same price.

>Orient Mako or Ray
Good diver option if you're looking for an automatic.

>Orient Bambino
Nice looking dress watch for when you're wearing something more formal. Lots of variations in style and colors. Just don't buy the open heart bullshit.

>Timex Marlin
Similar in function to the Orient Bambino, would pick either. Though Timex watches are notoriously noisy, make sure you can deal with it before buying.

I'm sure if I actively search for issues I'll find them.
But that's true for literally anything and everything.
Literally none of the reviews I've seen had any issues, and none of their comments talked of any issues either.
There are simply too many 32xx-powered watches out there for inherent issues to fly under the radar like this.

It's exactly the opposite, if you actually found a major issue you could make a bombshell video and have your channel explode overnight.

[Anonymous No.18269497]

>>18269485
And then you twiddle your thumbs as no brand ever sends you a watch for review again. You might gain some momentum initially but to keep it going you'll need to either buy watches you review yourself or find someone to lend them to you and that's not going to be easy to wrangle for a regular upload schedule. That's why even most of the bigger more popular watch channels review so many shitters and most discussion of non-shitter watches comes from referencing photos. It's hard to get access even if you're a relentless ballwasher, it's almost impossible if there's a chance you'll say anything remotely negative about their wonderous swiss engineering. Even many of the aliexpress brands don't let people shittalk them in reviews.

You wouldn't make a bombshell report on a widespread issue from a single review item.

And most of the biggest YT watch channels are very vocal about Rolex' flaws.
For instance, virtually all of them highlight the fact that GS finishing is vastly superior.

Just like with all inconvenient truths they're hidden. You think your beloved reviewers were spruiking the issues with the omega coaxial back then? How many are addressing the issues with the grand seiko cal.9sa5? Or are they all only soifacing about muh white birch dial?
Like I said, actually read through the threads about this unless your "deep dive" involved watching only the most shallow vids on yt over and over again by some fags that finally got an op after years of sucking off an ad.

Give it a rest.
You tried to claim there were only 40k 32xx-powered subs out there per year, and this was why there wasn't much talk about this issue.
But the reality is there are many hundreds of thousands.
