As a serious watch collector let me advice you against buying a Mont Blanc unless is a Riussec, Minerva or new complication models.

I know a thing or two about watches myself and enjoy the Riussec models (even though the whole montblanc claim that he invented the chronograph seems like bullshit) but I'd rather spend that kind of money on a JLC.

[Anonymous No.9388546]

Let me think about it.
Some downsides:
1.) With a width of 9mm it is thicker than a Nomos on your wrist but i dont think it´s much of a dealbreaker but worth mentioning.
2.) Even though I like the idea of the glass caseback, it looks like a rather cheap movement that was decorated as an afterthought. But at least they tried.
3.) The rotor is loud. Not only in comparison with european counterparts, but also with cheap seiko movements.
4.) Don´t worry about choosing a color on the stock strap. Its cheap and you will replace it as soon as you get it.
Some pros:
1.) First and most important, It runs fairly accurate, i synced with an atomic watch and it only ran 9 seconds fast a day. No complains.
2.) Good Size. Case is only 38 sth. so i wouldnt worry about that.
3.) It has a very beautiful face and the second hand sweeps lovely and smooth.

The Rodina is around 120$ which makes it a very affordable automatic watch. Within that price range it is one of the most beautiful watches i came across with ok quality. If you are a fan of bauhaus designs go for it i´d say.

I didn't expect your price range to be so limited, I was thinking around 5k usd. However, after reading your post I thought about a brand you might not be familiar with and that I have recently handled, called Carl. F. Bucherer, that is currently making some nice watches with a very attractive pricetag. This are two second hand examples (quite cheap) you might find interesting. (One is in UK)

They aren't everybody's taste but I hope you like them, since they are far more interesting than the Mont Blanc you posted horology-wise.

Budget is not that limited per say, just currently I want to spend something like that for the next purchase and get a watch that is from a horological and prestige perspective worth more than I pay for it. I found a montblanc star date chrono for £1500.

I'm acquainted with CF Bucherer but not a fan of their lower end models. From an aesthetic standpoint the Mont Blanc really hits the spot for me so I'll have to sleep on it.

In the range of up to 5k I'd almost definitely get (and will probably in the future) a JLC Master Control. Maybe a grey market UN Maxi Marine Chrono.

Get a super oyster strap for when you want to dress it up a bit, it's like $55 but it looks and feels very nice. It's a really versatile watch if you have a few different straps to put it on, I don't have a rubber strap but I have a super oyster and a few natos.

Hello /fa/, first time I've been on this board, first time I've visited a board other than /b/ actually. I've been looking to get a cool watch and I've found several options. What do you guys think about this one?

[Anonymous No.9390882]

>>9390807
Hey man, for a first time watch, I wouldn't recommend Invicta. It's sort of a 'scam' brand, as they give massive discountd on ridiculously high priced watches, making you thing you got a great deal. Also their watches are generally low quality.

Now every watch faggot will tell you to get an automatic watch. What this is is a watch that doesn't use a battery, but rather uses the movement of your wrist to power itself. HOWEVER, I'd say get a quartz. That is a battery operated watch. They're much more reliable, accurate, and harder to break than automatics, and for a first watch would be a great choice. Don't rule out automatics from reputable brands such as Seiko, Tissot, or Hamilton, though.

In my opinion, the watch you posted is a bit too flashy and wouldn't work with much. Get a neutral coloured watch with a black/white/navy/grey dial and a stainless steel case. A bracelet (metal strap) works with mostly everything, but leather (get black/brown only) may not. I'll go ahead and assume you are in the US with a budget up to $200, and seeing as the one you posted is $60, you'll either have to increase your budget or buy a Casio Edifice if you want some quality.

I'd recommend the Seiko Skx007. It's one of the most reliable and trusted watches out there, and with a 200m WR, it's tough as fuck. It is $170 though, although you can probably find it for $150.

Yeah you might be right. I love the look of the Maxi Marine on a leather strap. If the Patravi you suggested had an open case-back I would seriously consider it. It's a bit autistic but I find watches with open case-backs infinitely more pleasing than closed ones. Regardless it's a good suggestion and I appreciate it.

Plus, in terms of look, they have a few really affordable renditions of the archetypal JLC, A. Lange, and Patek look.

>When should you wear a white faced watch?

>When should you wear a dark faced watch? Formal events?

any time you want. Formal events encourage both color choices, really. the case itself is much more important. Is it a dress watch (like the Orient Bambino, for example)? so it's fine for formal events. Is it a bulky ass Casio G-Shock? Don't use it. Is it a military-styled Flieger watch? Don't use it. There are occasions for all these watches.

>Which watch face color is most versatile?

it's black, grey or white. I think grey is the most versatile out of all.

in the end it comes all down to personal preference. I like white dials a lot but it's probably true that black dials with white numerals or similar are easier to read at the end of the day.

As for casual wear only, you can always switch to green, blue or even red faces. Doesn't matter. While I find them nice, they are often harder to read.

White faced watches are considered more formal than black faced watches or watches. Basically a dress watch for semi-formal events should have a white face, a slightly smaller, simple casing, and a leather watch band. At a truly formal you don't wear a watch and no pocket watch either.

I wear a Timex Easy Reader with a silver casing, white face, and black leather band every day. I don't see the point in buying something more expensive because I am hard on my watches.

Where did you get yours from? Are all the details correct?

I've been hearing that the factory that makes them made a huge dip in QC and ships them with mislabeled dials, seagull signed crowns and other strange shit

[Anonymous No.9399502]

>>9398092
I can't. Got it from an ebay seller in Bulgaria. Runs well and love the fluted bezel. Im going to replace the strap soon

Looking to cop that first cheap /fa/ watch. Which is safer, dark leather or light leather band?

[Anonymous No.9399813]

Rents got this for me in Switzerland but I'm confused by the logo. Obvs not Victorinox. Anyone seen it before? I know it's a cheapie, i'm just interested.

omega or iwc for a entry-level piece?

[Anonymous No.9401493]

>>9401396
iwc

by buying omega you're paying way too much for brand image these days due to their hardcore marketing campaigns

[Anonymous No.9401541]

>>9401396
vintage omega / pre-co axial omega > iwc > omega

Can someone name a few brands that have decent watches for ~100-120 euro?

I saw Fossil at shop, which was sort of what I was looking for (leather band, rigid look), but it looked a bit too over the top (dunno if this is the right word)?

[Anonymous No.9401641]

>>9399307
They were 1000€

If you have a classic piece like a breguet, why would you want to ruin that with a un? Unless you're a russian oligarch, un is not for you

[/g/ No.9401652]

>>9401613
seiko, citizen, and orient are your only safe choices at that price.
don't pick a watch by the strap, you can easily change that.

[Anonymous No.9401657]

my dad gave me this when i was in high school or something

i didn't like it and i wasn't really into watches back then anyway, but i'm thinking about starting wearing it

what do you guys think?

[/g/ No.9401663]

>>9401648
that watch isn't gaudy or anything if that's what you're implying.
I don't know the price of the UN but I'd much rather have this personally.

[/g/ No.9401670]

>>9401657
it's a little bit over the top and watchfags will hate it but normalfags will think it's cool.
I guess you have to decide whether you want /fa/ and /g/ to like your watch or if you want the people around you to like your watch.

[Anonymous No.9401681]

what's the sleekest, thinnest, most minimalist Seiko watch out of them all? vague hint of Bauhaus not necessary but preferable.

How are Revue watches? Does it keep accurate time? And is it hard for someone below the age of 30 to pull off a gold watch even if it's muted?

[Anonymous No.9403383]

What about the men watches? Is it a reliable movement?
