That pilot watch on the left looks good, where'd you get it?
>>51699223
He doesn't like the whole slim fit thing because he is a gentleman you silly silly boy
But yeah his clothes fit him fine tho
>>51699264
Looks like a lifetime keeper. Wear it in good health.
>>51699700
No, he used to be fat then got sick and lost tons of weight. His clothes is all too baggy now, I'm sure it was already baggy when he was fat. At least I noticed he went shopping for some new slim fit clothes.
>>51699619
If you have a flat screwdriver or a simple leatherman you should be able to.
Though i don't know if they still sell these exact bezels, meranom does sell similar ones now.
Opinions on the Watch Repair Channel?

People like you are disgusting, fake watches are for fake people.
This may sound like mountainjew propaganda but it's actually a deep message: Only people who lack of self-confidence, self-respect and a bit of class would go for a fake watch in order to impress other people.
Get out of here and stop posting that piece of shit.

A homage is literally the same thing as buying a rep, it screams to everyone that you're too poor to afford the real thing so you have to settle for a shitty lookalike.

Do you also wear 44mm+ watches despite not being Canadian?

Not before i manage to get a SKX007.
Though i'd probably go for the SRP777.
>>51701853
I need this so fucking badly. But at 44mm it's a bit huge.
How much do you think the street price will be?
Should I get pic related (Junghans Meister Handaufzug) or a Nomos Club ?
>>51701083
yeah I just buy reps because the fucking homage watch always overprice ...
Submariner parnis homage= $99
submariner rep=$60
fucking chink...
>>51702275
€460 with metal bracelet, probably will go slightly down after the first few months once the hype dies down.
>>51702720
>>51700845
bagel: $25
faux rollie: $80
the difference is the bagel having vastly superior build quality.
>>51702751
I think they should be around the 410~430 euroshekel mark on the rubber strap versions.
Though i'd still rather buy a SKX for 160$ and wait till the price on the 777 drops.
>>51702763
can you give me the link bagel price @ $25

Do you nerds ever post buying guides or do suggests or do you guys always just circlejerk your watch pictures that make no mention of their names/types all day?
>t. guy who just wants to buy a not retarded watch for my stupid brother, but knows dick about them
Nice wrist fedoras, faggots
>>51703327
>>51703365
We have an outdated guide, that's still mostly alright on the low end.
But seriously needs updating or remaking.
Guess if you want a nice not retarded, then give us a lil hint as to what he wants. Though assuming he doesn't have bitch wrists,just get a SKX007/Orient Ray.
When talking to the CEO of the company I worked for, I noticed his watch. It was a hublot and when I googled it I shit myself

did you get fired for sperging over his house-priced "dogshit"?
>>51703406
I'm not sure what he wants.
He's going to be a lawyer and dresses like a /fa/ggot , so I assume he'd like something classy. He's got one watch he always wears and it looks pretty simple with a brown leather wrist band.
I've only got about $200 to spend on him.
>>51703696
Orient Ray.
Orient Bambino is also a good choice i guess.

>>51703850
Which is why i said it's outdated and needs a serious update.
I might do one for the low end and poorfag sector at some point during this week.
Mostly going to focus on Orient (new),Seiko (new and vintage),Vostok (new and vintage), generally about slav watches,Citizen,low end Casios. HMT's will be briefly covered.
Anything else to add in the under 200~ range?
>>51703938
talk about chink watches such as seagull or obris (though maybe breaking the $200 range).
Maybe vintage no-name swiss as well?
Make sure it's photo heavy. People never read walls of text.

>>51703983
I'm just going to make a shitty pastebin version with text for starters, like that shit /hpg/ has.
As far as microbrands go, like Obris or Tisell, i don't think i want start going down that road (too many god damn companies to cover).
Sea-gull are good but can be a little pricy, and bagels&Soki will be covered. Though it's going to be based on the overall opinion here on /wt/ on the latter two.
As far as no name swiss brands, it's mostly about what model of ETA they are using. I'm aware that 2836 and 2846 ETA models can be easily found at good conditions in around 100$ (with a delta of 25%). Though again, this is a very grey area, but via the movement it's deducible how much is the watch really worth (core value i guess), and the rest comes from the finishing,looks and overall appeal.
>>51704508
>>51704558
Is that a custom bezel then? I can't see one with that bezel
>>51704695
Not quite.
It's a reissue of a vintage Amphibia bezel, Meranom might still have a few for sale on his site.

>>51705531

>>51705394
Do it, don't listen to the swisskeks, with their old beat to shit yawn-fest hand-me-downs. With a Cocktail Time you're being the first owner of a kinda modern and interesting dress watch.
>>51700373
Why is this watch 42.3mm instead of a respectable 40mm?
>>51705568
Well if he's not dead yet you could just buy one from another dead grandpa on ebay, but if you really want to kill him then I won't stop you.
>>51705608
The cocktail time is honestly the worst looking of all the SARBs, it doesn't even compare with a semenmaster.
>>51705655
Post better sarb pls
Omega Suverän
>>51705688
All of them.
Old omegas?
this one
>>51705655
I could take off that Omega logo and put a Patek, VC or JLC on it and nobody would notice. Not that anyone would care in the first place, it's just a shitty old boring watch with nothing special in it apart from MUH HORLOGERIE that doesn't really mean anything in real life. Your buying an old watch, not the factory that made it.
TL;DR: watches like these are an absolute bore. The Cocktail Time is at least unique and interesting.
Are their any good Omega Watches under 400 dollars?
>>51705891
There aren't any over 400.
>>51705726
That is not a dress watch though. It has lume which is a big nono
>>51705929
Literally no one will notice. And lume is pretty practical.
>>51705955
It's not very practical if there's so little you can't fucking see it.
>>51705929
You just said post a SARB, that's a SARB. I'd argue that an 035 on leather is dressier than an 065 anyway.
>>51705740
>Old omegas?
How about a speedmaster with a tuning fork movement?
>>51706026
>>51706026
Holy shit that exists? I didn't know they made tuning fork chrono movements, that's neat. What does the movement look like?
>>51706066
Funfact, the tuning fork movements used in omegas were developed by max hetzel, aka the man that did the original accutron 214 movement.
>>51706026
I like this.
One of the later tuning fork movements used in the 720Hz omegas:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvIeSQ-NOH0
The rotor is attached to the tuning fork itself, uses magnetic gears, etc. Pretty neat shit. Some more info on it is here:

>>51707410
The dial texture is nice, that's the only thing saving that watch. The Citizen on the other hand is 100% horrible.
>>51707065
Really? It looks huge. Bitch wrists?
Someone last thread said it was gaudy and huge, or something like that. Thoughts?
Maybe it was thickness?
>>51707558
I have a skeleton wrist and it fits fine on me
it's like 47mm lug to lug
>>51707722
Ignore the troll. 40mm is huge. Ideal watch size is 34mm to 39mm max.
>>51707823
True. Sadly for me anything < 40mm looks ridiculous because I have huge wrists. I miss out on some great watches
>>51707823
This
>>51703832
Both these are 45mm+ ...
>>51707722
>>51707823
Never owned anything over 37mm. Don't know if I can make the jump.
Might look into the 035 with the leather.
I just wish I could see the damn COCKtail time in person.
>>51706026
Nice, though I prefer mine with the Lemania 5100
>>51707823
Ahaahahaaa! 34? Not even rolex makes 34 for men, u fag.
Mens watches should be minimum 38mm or it could be percieved small and unisex
36mm datejust or 41mm datejust?
>>51708146
This is just not true. 37 is fine if you aren't a fat neckbeard.
As for 34/35 have an old Caravelle, my ded g-pa's. It's 35, looks small, for sure, but that was the style of the watch so it looks good.
I'll give you a more contemporary style, under 37 might look a little off.
>>51708196
Rolex looks better 36.
>>51708200
But 37mm is odd, 38mm to keep it simple

This Moroccan pop-up book symposium is 18+.
Once you get a little older, and a little more self confident you will feel less of a need to wear gaudy "look at me" items and maybe gain a little more appreciation for the design language of a true dress watch.
>>51708229
Yeah, 37 is a little weird. My beater Seiko 5 is my only 37.
>>51698988
w2c this watch OP?
>>51708146
Rolex used to make 34 air king, still makes 34 oyster perpetual for men.

I thought only Spring Drives are completely smooth sweeps
Assuming this is the correct thread for the question.
Is there a metric system for time?
And is there a watch for it?

I prefer metal strap to leather
>>51708858
no this is a /fa/ thread, technical questions are not welcome
>>51708846
Look up Bulova's Accutron. Preferably the 214 movement. It's not a "true" smooth sweep though. Technically speaking. But it's literally as close as you can get other than the Spring Drive.
>>51708858
There is decimal time, but the problem with metric time is the units are exponential and get inconvenient to work with extremely quickly.
>>51708993
>>51709011
What are you trying to complain about exactly?
>some people like watches more because of how they look instead of how they work
Oh no, how dare they?!
It's only fa if people ask if the watch can be matched to their clothes, which is rarely done.
What clothes should I use to match my watch?
Snagged a really good deal on one of my dream watches, I'm very excited. I think this watch is the pinnacle of ana-digi aesthetics, and for $155 it was an easy buy.
>>51709003

>>51709643

>>51709730
>implying you can learn everything about one of the most interesting movements out there from a video
Guess it's still true. Plebs can't read.

>>51708269

I have the 41. It's too big.

Bocтoк is shittiest shit i ever used
My Seiko from 90's
any reason not to get a citizen if i like it?
>>51709506
I'm thinking of getting a watch with a higher antimagnetic rating (something like a Damasko DA36) . Has anyone here had trouble with their watches getting magnetized? Searching online, I see that some people have had their watches magnetized from leaving them on tablet covers, working on laptops and near speakers.
On the other hand, I haven't had any trouble so far.
>>51709643
and there i was thinking you niggers would sort me out
I remember when G was relevant and i was aloud to sort you guys out
literally as bunch of robots waiting for key ain't ya
we have only ourselves to blame
>>51711266
Is this problem actual for quartz? It's stops, when i put magnet on it, but after that watch works normally
>>51711358
When a quartz watch is exposed to too much magnetism, it can stop permanently. It takes a lot to do that, however- more for a digital than an analog. G-shocks are good for resistance.
>>51711358
Remember, quartz movements are powered by a stepper motor which has a magnet in it, enough magnetism can cause that to behave improperly by either changing the magnet itself or by changing the magnetic field of the case permanently.
>>51709506
Literally what the fuck

Thinking of ordering this one on ebay. Any thoughts?

That font is atrocious. But I guess it's okay otherwise.
Glass realy fucks up your bracelet. I was playing a game on my glass desk and left it on and now it's scratched to shit.
A REMINDER THAT ANYTHING OVER 40mm IS OVERKILL
That is unless you're fat.
R8?

Fuck, I'm fucking jealous man
That looks sick

Wouldn't buy it myself but it looks very nice
Why doesn't anyone talk about tissot or swatch here?
>>51713478
>swatch
Is Citizen any good?
>>51713478
Tissots are okay, they have some cheapies with 2824-2 movement.
>>51713393
Would look better on a wrist.
>>51713551
They're decent, yes.

All Japanese watches are good
What's the best watch for under 300. I'm a dicklover who enjoys multiple dials that I have no use for, though something simple yet elegant will do.

Tissot and Swatch are boring and shit, like most of the Swatch Group. Some of the heritage Hamilton and Longines watches are pretty nice but really the entire conglomerate is built on ensuring that all of their watches that are not Omegas are handicapped to make them clearly inferior to Omega.

I have very entry level swatch,despite what the average shitposing anons says the model I have has great finishing and ETA movement,it was little over $120 5 years ago.Its a normal sized chronograph that has good looking dial.
In total 4-5 times received compliments from grills.
One thing to hate is the proprietary straps that do add and look good on the watch but changing strap is difficult task.

Seiko lume is great. I have that exact SARB and it's very easy to see in the dark.

Why 4chan users like Russian watches?
>>51714145
Cause they are fags.
Fucking commie shilling.
>>51714145
Mostly because they're dirt cheap, while Vostok makes super reliable, unique and cheap as fuck watches, that only require bracelet change for comfortable use and bezel change for completely changing how the watch looks
Seriously, bezel does such a difference, it's like a different watch altogether

A 60 dollar fake rolex will absolutely shit on a bagel

Good looking, durable, high quality mechanical watches. They are also cheap.
