I've always thought Cartier has the ugliest watches I've ever seen. That meme roman numeral dial is terrible. JLC Reverso does rectangular watches right.
>>17536636>>17536638First. I've always disliked that second two-tone dial.
>>17536639I should only buy a watch when I'm rich? What about in the meantime?
>>17536697I've always thought the Reverso was uglier than the Santos to be honest
pin
>>17536697Cartier is more consistent in their design language.JLC designs are all over the place.
>>17536703That's fine, we have our own subjective opinions, no issue. (Although Hume might favor one of our takes.) Comparing the two, I realize the stretched and italicized Roman numerals of the Santos is what disgusts me.
why does anyone need anything more than a dateonly moonphase decor looks good and minute repeaterjust calculate via utc for dual timing
>>17536709Most people don't like any kind of Roman numerals on their watches from what I've seen
>>17536708like your mum
>>17536711I'm the same unless done tastefully, which is rare imo>>17536391>>17536576
>>17536714Are you saying my mom is consistent like Cartier? Or all over the place like JLC?
>>17536716This is probably their closest to that
>>17536721Better. Still think the Roman numerals are bolder than they need to be but that's just me.
>>17536717all over the place like a whore
Please help me decide.
>>17536751Green/gold. Would personally buy one if I didn't already have a green owlpenis.
>>17536751Seconding green.
>>17536721This is the watch of my father :)
Reminder,Having a nice watch is completely pointless if you're fat. Anyone close enough to be able to see that your watch is nice isn't going to be thinking>Nice watchthey'll be thinking>Oh God, he smells like shit. He's so fat he can't wipe his own ass.
>>17536751Male: leftFemale: right
>>17536788>He's so fat he can't wipe his own ass.How fat is this?
>>17536794I had to install a bidet at around 315lbs
>>17536788>>17536813You are right.There's a fat fuck at the office who has a Breitling and an IWC. I've never discussed watches with him because I don't want to be associated with fat people.

>>17536871
>>17536872Ouch.
>>17536877Looks nice what size
>>17536881It's the Grande Taille, so 46mm x 27mm but a couple years ago they changed their sizing nomenclature so I think this size is now called medium.
>>17536887Is it a duoface or a regular one
>>17536889Regular.
>>17536890I'm thinking of buying one, do you recommend it?
>>17536877kek based. This bitter faggot is seething right now >>17536872
>>17536877Did you write this on the back of a Hublot business card
>>17536891Yes, but try it on first. (Ideally, wear it for a couple days.) Square/rectangular watches do not feel the same on the wrist as round watches and some people find them uncomfortable.But apart from that, yeah, it's a great watch. It's actually quite versatile and dresses down pretty easily. It's not a pure dress watch like a gold Cartier Tank or Calatrava. It's very thin and light. It looks unusual so it gets a lot of compliments. It's extremely accurate as all JLCs are.I once wore it daily for 5 months straight so it could be your only watch if it needed to be.
>>17536895>Did you write this on the back of a Hublot business cardYep. Good eye. I was recently at their boutique in Las Vegas and the sales associate gave me her card.
>>17536899Thanks going to find some online
>>17536862yes, that's what I meant
>>17536900>she wants the D
>>17536699yeah I think I agree, I like how uderstated it is and that it has shorter lugs. seems like a very versatile shitter

>>17537060Rolex Explorer comes in 2 sizes. 39mm for men and 36mm for ladies.
>>17537084the men's size used to be 36mm or smaller back when men were men. now men are pudgy fatties, so they increased it
>>17537088How fat do you have to be for your wrists to start growing
>>17537088A century ago the average height was like 5'2 so obviously men used to wear smaller watches. Times change, wristlet
>>17537084>Rolex Explorer comes in 2 sizes.Uh, no.The original was in 36mm.Then they discontinued the 36mm and made the 39mm version.And now they've discontinued the 39mm and made the 36mm again.
>>17537141Uh yes, stupid. 2 sizes. Small for ladies.You have pencil wrists, we get it.
What's /fa's opinion on the Milgauss?

So just how bad is the ETA C07?The one that's regulated by a laser in the factory.Does that mean your friendly neighborhood watchmaker, if you can actually find one that'll work on small shit, can't ever regulate this shit?How's their reported accuracy over time? Are these movements to be avoided at all costs, or if the shit is cheap is it really not all that bad?I know some of the lower spec variants have plastic parts etc.

>>17537350I am OCD and every time I see the word EPOS, I think of "Epic Piece of Shit". For this reason, I also cannot get Certina, because they put "DS" on their case, which I associate with "Dick Sucker" or "Dumb Shit".

Bros I'm trying to find something like this but with manual winding. This seiko is close to being perfect just because of that. Matte finish, cream dial, minutes and hours in Arabic numbers, day, date, under 40 mm, affordable, do you have any recommendations?
I really like this watch. I'm too poor for a cartier. I bought it from this guy:https://www.ebay.com/itm/204061329532He has other cool watches.
>>17537431This hammy comes to mind but it's not purely manual wind.
>>17537452nice price. I bought a gold plated soviet dress watch at a similar place that I like quite a bit.
>>17537431hamilton. all their beige dials are automatics tho.
>>17537431anon cant read the clock
>>17537472Can you show me?
>longest lugs in the known universe>design like a drop-shipped 20$ fashion watchman, what is the appeal of this thing? and I say this as someone who usually likes minimalist dress watches. it just looks so bland and soulless
>>17537484bland and soulless is the bauhaus aesthetic.
>>17537484If nomos put even half the effort into the rest of the watch as they do the movement they would look great. Instead you get nothing but polishing and flat surfaces. It's like no one told them you can have interesting finishing and still be "minimalist".
>>17537488>t. my grail is an Hublot
>>17537452lmfao INDIAN redial for $20 they covered it with shit lmoooooaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy
>>17537482Here you go anon. I've since put it on a nicer strap, the one it came with was a little rough
>>17537488I mean I like some of the more trve old school bauhaus watches like the ones Junghans makes. I think the domed crystal and short lugs help give it enough characterbut the Orion just looks like an NPC among watches to me
>>17537452do not redeem
>>17537519Really like it. Did you find it on ebay?
>>17537529yeah, I saw that the seller was from India. It made me a bit apprehensive at first, but he has nice reviews so I decided to take the risk.
>>17537533thanksno, it was a local Polish auction site. eBay can be a little tricky for soviet watches, many of the watches there are frankenwatches, fake dials and other sus shit.especially the poljot deluxe for some reason, but big zeros, sputniks and other popular models are faked too sometimesif you want to get a soviet watch off ebay, then this is a decent catalogue of what all the factory versions looked like. if it's not on there, it's probably a frankenwatch:https://mroatman.wixsite.com/watches-of-the-ussr/raketa

>>17537844lololol retard
Cop or not?
>>17537484I can't quite articulate why, but I like Nomos watches. Still don't own one, but I think they look nice. The ultra long lugs means you've gotta size way down. Like this guy should probably be wearing a 33mm not a 35mm

>>17537452show it on wrist. As far as I know thsese Seiko tanks are either too big and too square (male version) and too small and gay (women version) compared to the Cartier. It looks nice in the photo and I'm intrerested in one also but gotta know.

>>17536697>>17536703The Santos and Reverso are both sex. Disparaging either one marks you as a tastelet.
>>17538001Square watches look ugly and dated
photographing watches is incredibly difficult
>>17538034it's like the easiest thing you could photograph
>>17538034the thing I learned about photographing watches is you need an actual camera. photographing with my iphone 12 makes the watch look like absolute garbage
>>17538034Minimum focus distance is what matters. If you have a DSLR or MILC with a macro lens, it's very easy.
>>17536877whats your build
>>17537947I haven't received it. However, I googled the watch and I found the pictured annexed to this post.
>>17537519nice!
>>17536697Okay you haven’t seen shit, there are some ugly watches out there from HH brands. Also post ugly watches
>>17538205Ugly indeed.
>>17537452My grandfather owns one of these exact Indian "Seiko" watches. Pretty sure his is the same dial colour, too. Absolutely nothing on them is original, these quartz ones are literally counterfeits with random cheap quartz movements inside of them as opposed to the 5's and other mechs which are usually heavily Frankenised vintage shitters. Once you receive it, open an eBay dispute as "item not genuine" and refuse to do anything the seller requests of you until you get a refund.I'll post a pic of his watch either this thread or the next if I get chance to go over his place later.
>>17536751Green and leather.
>>17537025Dont go with cw. There is somethinf off about them, the whole muh value shtick is fishy as fuck. Besides, its kinda cringe no name branding
>>17538204Can we see the movement

>>17538213>ripping off Indians over a $30 watchnot sure if based
>>17538213I'm well aware it's a fake. I like it because I cannot get a hold of a real seiko SWR066P1. There's no stock.
>>17538246So you don't own this item and you work in a jewellery store
>>17538275why? would you post the serial number of you car?
>>17538287You can literally walk up to any car and read their VINBetter yet you can post your watch and draw over the serial
>>17538293this is true.
>>17538293i dont care if you believe me
>>17538287Anyway how has the Lange been so far
>>17538305I believe that you own it, it's not particularly hard to get one is it
>>17538305good, it wears nicely and its a joy to look at. still figuring out which one to buy next
>>17538306>>17538310ment you ofc
>>17538307no, you can go into the store and buy it no questions asked
>>17538310>>17538313Is the next one a Lange or not
>>17538314100 % Lange
>>17538305Don't let the trolls get to you anon, this is normal here.
>>17538316Are you going to sell the 1 for your next watch?
>>17538324yes anon>>17538330no. selling this thing is stupid. it lost like 15k the moment i left the store
>>17538333They're 20k used, it's not that bad
>>17538337yes but even 20k would only be 50 % of what i paid
>>17538340OuchHopefully I can pick up a 1 in a few years then
>>17538343sure bro... the resell price for most variations of the lange 1 is relatively stable.
>>17538346The oldest ones will certainly drop further
>>17538349depends. those of the first series cost 70k+ already
>>17538351The most collectible ones, sure. Those prices will always be higher.

what is up with the “chinese army watch”
Any nice watches with high versatility?Want to clear my current collection and have just two
>>17538383The steel Reverso is one. Most of JLC's Master Control line is actually pretty versatile, in fact.Some of the Cartier sports watches like the Santos or Pasha go with everything.The Datejust is about the most versatile watch ever. If you've got that Reverso then a good pairing with it would be a slimmer sports watch like maybe the Zenith Chronomaster Original.
>>17538383I think everything in that "classy sports watch" category is very versatile. like the basic Soister Perpetual or half of Grand Soiko's catalogue, these basically never look out of place
>>17538394Daydate's a good option, thanksI do prefer dressy watches and that seems like a nice sportier one, as opposed to the Reverso being more dressy. I might get pic related instead of the Reverso
>>17538398Going to wait for a price drop first
>>17537378i agree with this image but I wonder where the cutoff line is where someone say that from this price tag on you cant reasonably claim to pay more for increased manufacturing quality, superior design or materials and are simply paying for brand name to flexi'd say its in the low to mid four figures
>>17537971Just like ur ms
>>17538402Price of luxury goods never drop.
>>17538415I think he meant used
>>17538408The whole point is that the cutoff line is entirely arbitrary.The idea of paying more for brand name to flex doesn't hold completely water because at some point manufacturing quality is superseded by engineering costs or handcrafting. Sure, there's a lot of brand name marketing stuff that goes into price, but when you're paying for a Sarpaneva or something, you're buying the hand-craft, not the industrialization.To your point, though, yes, there are people who ignore everything else but price and brand name in order to flex. The dollar value cutoff point for that is dependent on the forum. On the high-end subforums on Watchuseek or something, it's going to be in the six figures (and probably multiple pieces). Here, it's probably about 5,000 USD.
>>17538430Prices outside of retarded fashion bullshit reflect quality and demand. A rolex costs more and is nicer than a seiko a Vacheron is nicer still and the low volume independent stuff is even nicer.
1.41732 to 1.49606 inches is the ideal watch diameter.
reccs for cheap as shit white/silver watches like this?buying in aus
Would a 5atm watch WITH a screw down crown be fine to wear swimming ? Maybe diving a few meters(~2) too ?
>>17538463quartz datejust homage off aliexpress
>>17538466looks right on the money got a specific link?
>>17538463>>17538466i should mention doesnt need date
How is amazon.co.jp? Thinking of buying a Seiko as my first watch but they're expensive in my country(India). Are there any other good international sellers?
>>17538434what even is quality? something very different from demand / supply I think. and the latter has much more bearing on the price, which is why some ugly limited edition Rolex can cost much more than watches with superior finishing and more artisanal production
>>17538463not sure what your definition of cheap as shit is, but there are some Seiko 5s that pull off this aesthetic well for around 100-150$the SNK355 and SNKL41 are my favorites from the line. I prefer the latter a bit because the hands look more classically Seikoish like a SARB or something
>>17536877Based fellow Reverso enjoyer
>>17538487>what even is quality?That is, unfortunately, pretty subjective and also inextricably tied to price.As an example, "Finishing" is a fun buzzword used around here, but it means different things depending on the method used and the degree of industrialization.Rolex's finishing is entirely automated. No human touches most watches, the only assembly job done by hand at Rolex is gem setter (not movement jewels, but for the diamond dials and bezels, etc). Rolex's finishing is great and generally flawless.Compare that to a HH/Independent brand. The finishing is done by hand. It's more intricate but there will be flaws, a missed spot here or there in a bridge's anglage, or perlage not perfectly spaced.The HH's finishing is more ambitious and definitely more artful, but it's not perfect. The Rolex's is perfect, but also completely anonymous unless some flaw mistakenly made it through final QC.
>>17537484>what is the appeal of this thingits a brand for contrarians. their usp is not being swiss.
>>17536953What is the non-Jap equivalent of this?
>>17538524you can get way cooler german or japanese watches though. no need to go with Nomosfeels to me like their target is more "redditors who want a basic minimalist fashion watch except they want to pay 2000$ instead of 100$ for some reason". even then I still feel like Junghans mogs them in this category, at least when it comes to the design
>>17538528Nomos is quite popular, unfortunately, despite /wt/'s malding-level hatred of the brand.If you don't like their styling (I, personally, don't care for it either) then nothing can be done on that front, but from a technical perspective, ignoring the subjective things, it's everything that /wt/ claims to want.*>independent>in-house>automatic>thin>good water resistance>not oversized*what /wt/ really wants is to be able to flex on poors.
>when you finally see the watch everyone’s discussing and it’s shit
>>17538490Is this /Seikogeneral/ now?
>>17538541>from a technical perspective, ignoring the subjective things, it's everything that /wt/ claims to wantI know, and it just makes me more mad that they have all of this going for them but they look like shitso much potential wasted
>>17538551always has beenwhat model is that btw? is it an SKNL43?just ordered the white version of this. quite a handsome watch for the price. too bad the SARB035 got discontinued and now has stupid prices second hand, it was like a more premium version of this watch
>>17537431might piss off people that are trying to "preserve the authenticity" of a cheap mass produced watch but i installed an NH36 on mine after seeing others do it.
>>17538563>I know, and it just makes me more mad that they have all of this going for them but they look like shit>so much potential wastedYou're not wrong, but I don't know what else they could do?Copy the Swiss style? For better or worse, this is what German watches look like. Not everyone wants the original Glashuetter Lange/GO/GUB-style. (The history of the German watch industry is tangled and fascinating.)They could try to do what the Japanese do and just put out a thousand chaotically over-styled watch designs per year and hope one of them is a hit with customers.I think a lot of the hatred also comes from the fact that "HOMOS" has wormed its way into /wt/'s collective brain and "I don't like their case design" is partially a way to justify ex post facto a hatred that is mostly irrational.
>>17538567Correct, an SNKL43 with a royal blue dial. Most lights other than sunlight it just looks like a super dark blue and almost black. Just took some fresh OC for you.
>>17538577to be fair I don't really hate most of their watches, it's mostly just the Orion that rubs me the wrong way. most of the others are just boring to me. the ones with some complication thrown in tend to look a bit better too, makes them look less basicthe one in the pic for example I like. but the damn orion... stop throwing it in my face, Teddy Bulbasaur, it's so ugly
>>17538541Post some rare cheap watches to flex on poors
>>17538583thanks anon, it looks nice. the white dial one also seems to have a subtle sunburst effect to it IRL, will be a fun little shitter to wear in the summer
>>17538594Same. Even if I don't like it, I respect the Tangente for being faithful to the historic 1930's design, like how JLC and Cartier keep making Reversos and Tanks in the classic style. I like the Club. I think it's a pretty neat-looking and very capable sports watch. The Ahoi is similarly cool-looking. Their attempts at higher end stuff like the Lux and Lambda are pretty unimpressive for the price, even if the movements themselves are excellent.
>the sneedmaster use aluminium bezel Fucking why?
>>17538598yeah the Lambda looks pretty nice, but at that price? no fucking way, I'd rather have a Glashutte Original or just save up for a Lange at that pointthe Club is alright, I like that it comes in all those funky colors. maybe they should go more into that, that would help them stand out more stylistically
>>17538597I wouldn't call it a shitter: its a good quality watch, accurate time, and most people will call it attractive. I have a Casio white face watch that I don't hate, and a White Parnis but for some reason I just don't like white watches anymore but realize I have so many black and dark blue watches too. Maybe one of these days I'll pick up a color other than white or 'dark'.
>>175386011. it's traditional, which is important to moonwatch buyers2. it (arguably) looks better. ceramic is often too shiny3. it keeps costs down and is easier to replace4. plenty of other chronos use ceramic bezels (even other Speedmasters), buy one of them if aluminum bothers you so much
>>17538598The club looks like dogshit in person unfortunately
>>17538614>The club looks like dogshit in person unfortunatelyDisagree. I have an AD near me so I've been able to see the entire range in person. It looks the same in person as it does in pictures. Some of the ones with the colored dials may look a little darker or brighter in natural light.The case finishing is all just simple high-polish, but it's well-done. No obvious waves or ripples. The dial printing is crisp. For the price, it's really well-executed. It's not going to be Lange quality, but it's only like 5% of the price.But you compare it to a 1,500 dollar Seiko and it's much, much better.
>>17538626I have too, that's why I'm telling you it looks like ass. The case looks like a child's toy. The crystal looks like it belongs on a much cheaper watch. Only the dial and hands look nice.I don't know what seiko you're comparing it to but a cheap grand seiko mogs the shit out of a club in terms of F&F.
Hey guys, can anyone recommended a cheap durable stainless steel watch, preferably with a black face? I don't need superior nippon quarity forded over 9000 times, I just want a cheap sturdy watch that the hands won't fall off of while using a rotohammer, like what happened with this Casio pos.
>>17538627Just post your Homos memes already. We know you want to. FWIW, they are funny.
>>17538627>The case looks like a child's toy. You must have had some interesting toys. Using a unified case and bezel is actually pretty interesting in terms of case construction when it comes to sports watches with 100m WR. It's something you usually see in dress watches.>The crystal looks like it belongs on a much cheaper watchHow? They don't use AR? Neither do Rolex or Cartier.
>>17538630Here it is anon
>>17538632I'm a raging SJW you retard, if anything homos and their gay agenda are selling points from my POV. Why the fuck would I go to a watch store and ask to touch the gay watches if I wasn't pro gay? So I could argue about it with a bunch of NEETs on 4chins?
>>17538634I'm not a big fan of rolex either. Never handled a cartier so I can't speak to that.I like the 100m. Like I said to the other anon, people don't generally go to the shop to finger fuck the merchandise because they hated how it looked on paper.
>>17538637>I'm ragingYup. No doubt.
>>17538639OK, so what watches DO you like?
>>17538647I like a lot of things. What watch would I buy, right now, with $2000, given my circumstances and what I've already got? Probably a LLD 36 with the milanese bracelet.
whats a good cheap watch that i can wear anywhere? work, gym, outdoors etci guess im looking for a beater watch

>>17536598Can someone please help me identify this movement?
>>17538871It's a caliber 2813 modified with a fake Patek rotor. It's made by a number of factories so it's sometimes called the DG2813 or the NN2813.Trying some repairs on a rep?
I'm thinking of giving up on autos and just taking the quartzpill. What's a good compact all-rounder HAQ in the vein of an Explorer? Looking at this Long Jeans since that one 9F Grand Seiko people like doesn't have any loom.
>>17538885>What's a good compact all-rounder HAQ in the vein of an Explorer?They're all basically the same.
>>17538868Texaco sold the Nazis gasoline for their tanks, doesn't mean the country endorsed them
>>17538879It's also a fake 2813.>>17538871Where did you get it?>>17538885All autos can become hand wound if you just take the rotor off. Stop being a fag. You can also take the whole auto assembly off. >He doesn't have a manual wind Valljoux 7760
>>17538879Woah
>>17538885Just google "F91W" and theres the best HAQ in the world.
>>17538906>It's also a fake 2813.There's no such thing as a fake 2813. They're all Chinese. There's no Swiss 2813. It's always been Chinese. Structurally, it's similar to an old Miyota 82xx from the 1970s, but it's not really a clone of that.

>>17538879Yes, I want to put a crown in it. Should the hands move when the rotor moves even if it has no crown?

Any Russian/Soviet watches besides Amphibia?
>>17539124ask google you lazy cunt
>>17539124lots of nice Soviet era watches. see here: >>17537569especially notable are the 2209 movement dress watches, which are very thin and rather commonother notable watches include:>Raketa 24 hours watch (originally designed for a polar expedition so that they could tell if it's day or night)>Raketa Calendar (interesting calendar complication for cheap)>Raketa Big Zero (beware of fakes / redials)>Raketa Copernicus>Elektronika vintage digital watches>Kirovskie Crab (someone posted one ITT)>Volna watches with interesting dials (these are sometimes faked)>Sputnik (the seconds hand shows the Soviet sputnik satelite orbiting around the earth. often faked)
