Do people take this man's advice seriously? I don't know him very well besides watching a few videos, but what has he done to earn a reputation?
>>54610026
It's a entertaining, it's pretty much a satirical blog, he has some nice very high end watches, which he shows off
You can't tell what he is being serious about or not
He plays a foul mouthed uncouth, border line poverty stricken middle aged man, who lives and breathes luxury goods

thoughts on Certina in general and the DS2 in particular?
>>54607203
I got mine for around £50, that was at allegedly 50% off. I wouldn't pay more than around £70-80 though.
>>54610643
Too small, get a real man's watch you homo.
>>54609692
Really love watching him explode
How much would anyone pay for one of these square Type II penis quartz watches?
>>54611224
Certina is more or less on the same level as Tissot. Make of that as you will.
>>54612075
over 100€ for sure, Penisquartzes are totally overrated.
>>54612075
Slightly sub 100$ range for II's, square KQ are 120$ range.
Decided "Fuck it, I'ma save for a Rolex not an SARX"
Tuck away £250 pcm and I should have myself an Oyster Submariner in about 2 years. Granted I could put away everything I'm not likely to spend and shorten that time to maybe 6 months.
>>54612803
Good choice Anon, can't go wrong with a Sub
>>54612824
I find it's the only nice looking Rolex. The explorer is fucking beautiful, but the "3,6,9" sort of ruins it. Should have kept it as batons.
>>54612845
The new Daytona looks really good.
>>54612845
I feel the same about the explorer, i tried on the Datejust with the batons and polished bezel, and i'm already thinking of how to convince the other half to let me buy it.
>>54612909
Never have been a fan of Chronos, but the Panda Daytona is nice.
>>54612845
Bet you like the new airking then
>>54612927
Should the datejust not have the cyclops, it would be literally perfect. But it's certainly on the better looking side of Rolex's range.
>>54612948
I threw up a little in my mouth.
>>54612949
I don't like the cyclops on the Submariner which is why i went with no date, but on the DJ it looks good to me. Here's now without and it just looks wrong
>>54612949
If the oyster perpetual looked like that series of datejust and still came in the the oyster perpetuals sizes and pricing, it'd be pretty perfect.
>>54613013
>Here's now without and it just looks wrong
To be fair, the Roman Numerals provide a very different aesthetic to the watch, so it's hard to compare.
>>54613019
Black dial and we're there. Need some contrast in there.
>>54612948
That Air-king is a monstrosity. Yellow logo, green writing, ugly numerals, hands look to small.
>>54613048
Agreed, would be significantly better with blue or black. Dial colour is one of the things that drag the current OP line down.
>>54613060
Really gotta think just what kind of retards work in the Rolex design studios.
Quick! post some poorfag watches.
>>54613056
Good lord.
What the fuck where they thinking.
>>54613019
Seems somewhat odd to have a Datejust, with no date.
So do you fuckers advertise this thread on plebbit or something?
Why the fuck are there so many normies here?
They're starting to leak out to other threads and it's starting to become a problem
Fuck off normies
>>54613153
"normies" are the least cancerous thing to happen to this board in a long time.
Once the mods go full nazi and delete any thread can be viewed even remotely as Spam/Advertisement, then this board will start to get better again..Remove the shit, and the shitposting shall cease.
>>54613162
A proper full nazi solution is having /wt/ on /g/ be digital only, and the "appreciation of micro-engineering and materials engineering" be moved to /fa/ where it belongs.
>>54613189
Watches are closer to technology than a fucking homescreen.
Of all the things to remove on this board, /wt/ is pretty far down the list.
>>54613204
There is no technology discussion in these threads, don't fucking kid yourself
It's all autism about how a watch looks
>>54613218
And what technological discussion is there to be had in a Desktop thread?..Or homescreen thread? It's just a thinly veiled attempt to circlejerk over whatever Anime people here watch.
>>54613189
So go make a separate digital only /wt/? There was one a while ago.
>>54612845
>>54612927
Nah, men, the Explorer 1 is the best looking Rolex by a margin.
>>54613262
It has redeeming aspects, but the "3,6,9" knocks it down several notches.
>>54613287
I like it.
It's not a design thought for office monkeys or rich kids.
>>54612824
Goddamn, that "rolexrolexrolex" is atrocious.
Should have gone for an older model.
>>54613365
It's barely noticeable in the flesh at normal viewing distance, doesn't bother me at all. Also i prefer having a warranty
>>54612786
>>54612802
That's quite good then as I just won it on Y! auctions for £9.30
Quick, post the gaudiest watch you like, mine would be a rose gold Yachtmaster
>>54612803
I recommend a quartz grand seiko for a good luxury watch without the service Judaism of the swiss and japs.
>>54613796
>>54613603
Yeah that's fine.
Worst case scenario if you don't like it when it arrives, flip it on eBay for a profit.
>>54613898
Exactly the plan.
Starting today I'm a certified watchmaker. What now? Is there any real profit in buying "for parts/repair" watches off Ebay and restoring them to a decent condition? Like old KS/GS Seikos, vintage Swiss, slavshit, even poo2loo?
>>54613796
Are wild 70's watches considered gaudy?
>>54614734
not really imo, more like eccentric, what I mean by gaudy is watches going full retard on diamonds, bold colors and precious metals
>>54614679
There would be decent money in finding a cheap higher end watches and doing repairs, you wouldn't want to be slaving away for hours on a few shitty watches to make a few measly dollars, you would be better off working an actual job
What you should do if you are looking to actually profit from it is gamble a bit and hope watches don't have anything majority wrong with them. Buy whatever brand watch for say $200, repair it (hopefully something very easy) then sell it for $800
Don't Slave away to turn a $15 watch into a $50 watch
>>54614679
Non running Omega's are easy to come by, Seiko's as well.
But no name Swiss watches usually sell real cheap.
>>54614835
>you would be better off working an actual job
I did acquire a job recently. Right now I'm a battery monkey and it pays pretty well. Thanks normies for not even being capable of swapping your own batteries!
>>54614868
>But no name Swiss watches usually sell real cheap.
How about good brands that are not really know among plebs (like Omega, Heuer, Doxa) but more known among other watch autists, like Eterna, Enicar, all that Super-Compressor shit, Wittnauer, Vulcain, etc?
>>54614734
The 70s were the pinnacle of watch design, I haven't seen something from that decade I hate.
>>54614759
Then I guess this niggered-out Milgauss.
>>54614958
>Eterna/Eternamatic
Yes.
Otherwise Doxa is also a nice option, lot's of cheaper ones around. I can't really think of any other brands of the top of my head, but there are quite a few.
>>54613897
Better chronograph pusher integration than the nautilus 5980
Came to the conclusion that it's easier and cheaper to buy a new Komandirskie and disassemble it to rebuild my old one.
Does anyomne know of shops in St Petersburg who sell Komandirskies? I'm always up for a train trip across the border into Russia.
>>54611672
he will if he dosen't put the fork down
>>54615040
>niggered-out
Is this what ignorant people call fine craftsmanship in your country?
>>54615346
Porbably uncultured American piggu. That example looked a bit tacky, but if done right i think i can look good.
>>54613796
Rose gold Daytona.
>>54615040
>>54615346
>>54615423
Reminds me of what they do do shotguns, certainly not 'niggered out'
This is niggered out
Can this pass off as gen?
>>54609690
now this is autism
>>54615763
The whole point of the real thing is the titanium, if you want the design borealis and aramar make affordable ones.
>>54613218
>He missed the last thread with all the people debating the various characteristics and merits of vintage Seiko mechanical movements
>>54614993
There was some pretty bad shit in the 70s, it's just that it was all consigned to the landfill and only the cool stuff still floats around. Still I think the 70s were overall a glorious time for watch design. The low point was the 1990s; pretty much the only good thing to come out of that decade was the SKX.
>>54615763
Sauce?
>>54614958
To properly change a battery requires silicon grease and a new gasket, things which are understandably not in the normie arsenal.
>>54616058
If it's an actual waterproof watch. Plus the idea of replacing the gasket after every time you open a watch is mostly horseshit, a scam to get you to pay serious shekels for a rubber ring. This whole gasket thing only applies to serious dive watches that are expected to be relied on at their rated depth.
>>54615896
The reps are made out of titanium and quite some have actual (refurbished or otherwise low spec) ETA2824s in them.
It'd probably pass as a gen for most irl, but would it for the wearer? Would it make sense for the one who wears it to have a $3.5k watch? Does the wearer have the wrists to wear up a 42mm diver?
>>54615909
>The low point was the 1990s; pretty much the only good thing to come out of that decade was the SKX.
ORLY?
Should I get this instead of a Speedy Reduced to save me from potential trouble of the chrono module?
Any other <40mm chronos under $1500?
>>54616489
Are you serious?
>>54609692
>IS THAT A REEEEEEEEAL ROLEX???
>>54610643
Nice, do you happen to be a rapper?
>>54613543
Just the fact that it's there is atrocious, being able to see it or not is not determining.
Don't they have a lifetime warranty?
>>54616513
I don't know the exact price but I think there's a 38mm version of the Poljot Strela.
>>54616261
>>54615763
This but get the A2836 it's a better more consistent movement than the refurbished old stock ETAs
Can that pass for gen? Yes, especially to Normies. Most high quality reps sold on the major boards look close enough to gen to fool Normies and imo are better than uber thick Borealis memes. Just ensure your QC pics look decent and use a good TD from Replica Watch Info or RepGeek
/Wt/ hates reps because they bought the meme they're all cheap Canal Street shit but they are generally ignorant and poorly informed. Also there's a huge backlash on here against almost anything costing more than $300. While I agree $300 to 5K has a lot of bad watches in iy and Swatch/Richemont group are jews this doesn't mean watched in this range are actually bad... And it doesn't mean reps especially from the big makers are bad either.
>I'm posting here, following the request of some anon on a neighboring general.
pls don't bully
>>54617238
Bretty gud watch actually.
>>54617337
for the price ($130 for sapphire and power reserve complication) I'd say it is.
>>54617140
5 year warranty, servicing adds another 2 years.
>>54617224
>/Wt/ hates reps because they bought the meme they're all cheap Canal Street shit but they are generally ignorant and poorly informed.
It's pretty much the opposite of the reason people don't like fakes.
>>54617238
I almost bought one before I realised it was too big
>>54617432
Fucking hilarious.

Considering buying a Rolex Daytona, mother of pearl face, steel and gold case and bracelet (pic related). Opinions?
>>54616568
As cancer.
>>54617840
Don't.
>>54617840
Are you black?
This thing is fucking sexy.
y/n? 436 usd last time I checked on amazon. where can I get it cheaper?
what are some good strap options for it?
>>54618437
Yup. Gen3 monster is quite a great watch. Plus that's more or less the price for a new one.
I just bought a gen2 that's still enroute and also a black zulu. Honestly another good option is mesh but otherwise use the bracelet.
>>54618631
>>54618437
Is the only difference between this one and say the SRP307 the 6r15? Big price increase over the 4r models.
>>54618955
6R15, Sapphire glass and SRP637 styled dial since some people disliked the sharks teeth markers.
Does anyone else own this watch? Is it good?
>>54619174
I always wanted a watch dial made out of a football jersey
>>54618955
no shark teeth
also, I think prospex means its 100% made in Japan
only date, no day
>>54619040
didn't know its sapphire. I thought it was hardlex still
also the mini tuna looks fucking ugly with the numbers cluttered on the dial. goddamn
>>54619238
True, the baby tuna looks off.
Luckily for me i was able to score a pre-prospex SRP307. So the waiting begins.
>>54615763
Does the blue Pelagos only comes in a version that has an essay on the dial?
Also this watch is so fucking sexy. No Jap can design something that's as simple and yet elegant like that.
>>54619419
5 lines for the newer in house mvmt
3 lines, i believe, for the older version, ETA mvmt
price difference is like only 300 dollars, 300 dollars that I don't have ;w;
>>54619174
>Seiko automatic with a 4R movement
Yes it's good. These are pretty much your safest choice for an auto short of a 6R15.
>>54619476
Thanks. I'm not so good with watches, could you explain what 4R and 6R15 means?
>>54615763
For some reason, this reminds me of a 7002. Except Daini didn't write an essay on the dial.
>>54619419
>>54619473
Think that's roughly what the rep (titanium case) costs. If I had the wrist, money or taste for a gen I'd go with the older.
>>54619509
the 6R and the 4R refer to the movement that powers and does the actual timekeeping for the watch.
Does anyone else feel like a lot of watching are fucking ugly?
Take these for example:
>>54609690
>>54611224
>>54612075
>>54612824
>>54613056
>>54613075
>>54613153
>>54613189
>>54613796
>>54613897

>>54615763
>>54617840
>>54618378
>>54618437
>>54619594
I can understand that they probably have some great engineering behind them or some shit, but good fucking god, what are the designers thinking when they make these? What's with the stupidly large dials or numbers?
>>54619509
"4R" and "6R" refer to the general type of movement (clockwork) that powers the watch. The two of them are considered to be Seiko's lower-mid and mid-range movements, respectively. The two have very similar feature sets (you can hand-wind a 4R35 and a 6R15, and when you pull the crown out on both the seconds hand stops, a feature called "hacking"), howecer the 6R15 has a longer power reserve (will run longer when taken off the wrist) because it uses a special mainspring material.
>>54619707
>>54619794
Ah, I see. Thanks for the help.
>>54619793
Please post what you consider a beautiful watch.
>>54619870
The ones I didn't reply to are what I think look good, but not necessarily beautiful.
>>54619870
He did skip that ugly Datejust with the roman numerals.
>>54619793
>shitposter didn't quote my post.
I'm flattered anon.
>>54619793
I think most typical watch cases and dials are pretty ugly. No Rolex, Seiko, Tag, Breitling, or dozens of others have ever struck me as really good looking.
A few Urwerk models I find really pretty as well as technically impressive all around. Shame I don't have $150,000 laying around to buy one. Some select Cartier cases are very, very nice as well, and certain special edition Citizen watches I find pleasing.
Like you I think virtually everything posted in these threads is hideous, particularly the slavshit. If someone came into my place of business wearing one of those they'd be an immediate turn away.
>>54619793
why would you hate the pelagos???????
>>54619972
Look I love Citizen's weird designs but if you think that looks good you're an idiot.
>>54619900
I know this may be hard to take, but you have shit taste. I'm afraid there is no cure... Science just has not progressed that far.
I'm so sorry, anon.
>>54619672
that pic tho lmao
>>54620057
Quite a few variations floating about.
Anybody got the tag huehue one?
>>54620008
Look at how large the outer ring is. Look at how large the hands are. Look at how blue it is.
It looks like something I'd buy for my six year old nephew.
>>54619972
For a somewhat plain case shape, the bold face on this Cartier is rather striking.
>>54620091
you should see it in person before judging.
the bezel is 42mm, so its for a man's wrist.
the hands are fine imo, but tastes are subjective entiendo, madam
blue is a damn fine color.
what watch would you wear?
>>54620186

things that happen only in anon's head: the post
>>54620156
The Urwerk UR-210 in titanium stainless is one of my favorite designs by far.
Wandering hour style is probably the most simple way to display the time apart from digital. The design and way they operate is incredibly interesting as well, and thats something that sets mechanical watches and clocks apart from electronics with a pcb.

And it looks fucking incredible, kys.
mine
>>54619972
i don't see why there's any reason that watch makers create such gastly creations.
I doubt something like pic releated was that expensive to produce. ( excluding the mechanism)
I personally think it's just down to consumers not caring enough. Japanese homeland goods are usually a higher quality becuase Jappanese people won't tolerate shit.
I need a new strap.
Preorders when?
>>54620074
I do because I made them all
Thoughts on the 120 case?
>>54621031
Why would you preorder some shit that looks like 80% of the watches already available?
>>54621145
It's alright.
The 18mm lugs are the odd part about it.
>>54621145
I think 18mm lugs are too small for the Amphibia. that's why I don't like the 420 either.
They could do a 20mm design, but then they would have to make new straps so that's not happening.

>>54620533
Now that I think about it, Seiko floods theiinternational market with a lot of garbage, particularly in North America. But their Japanese stuff is all pretty impeccable and very high quality- I don't think they even sell the Malaysian slave labour watches over there.
>>54621665
>>54621905
I'm adding a pic for the lazy people.
It says the watch is brand new.
>>54622012
It's actually not a bad price, since the bezel alone would cost 25$~ And the 110059 are a minimum of 75$.
Though it depends on how good are these new bezels.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/meme-brand-ring/32549915463.html
>>54619793
But the penis quartz in >>54612075 is probably about 36mm across. Hardly huge.
>>54622861
Yeah, that watch just looks ugly because it's an analog with a rectangle face.
>>54621031
Will Obris Morgan ever make a watch with an exhibition caseback?
>>54622999
Why bother? The 9015 isn't that nice to look at without considerable dressing up like this.
One or two are a given, but I have heavy doubts you cunts can guess them all
Is there any guide on how to buy vinatge Japanese watches on Y! auctions in Japan? Or can anybody give me some basic advice?
It looks like the language barrier is the biggest issue.
>>54621967
could you list the japanese market seiko watches or give me a site/catalogue?
>>54623033
Display casebacks are neat even for a plain movement, even the 7s26 gets a sunroof. But yeah, three-quarter plates are cancer I hate Citizen for doing this in their movements (and unidirectional winding).
Also am I the only one who kind of wants this watch to exist?
>>54622999
They are already pretty bulky, exhibition caseback would make them even fatter, also they use a basic movement that isn't decorated or anything nice to look at and if I recall correctly, exhibition caseback is less waterproof than a normal one

this might be the worst picture you've ever taken
and thats saying a lot
Do divers exist in sizes of <38mm, or am I doomed with manlet wrists?
>>54626593
might as well buy a women's diver
>>54626593
If current production it's most likely marketed as womens, unisex or at absolute best midsize alternate version of the model. Don't stare yourself blind at the case size though, lug to lug is significantly more important. I /could/ wear an SKX007 without lug overhang. Sub looks okay too even if it technically has lug overhang. If you're not actually going diving, why not go vintage?
t. 6.3" wrist
>>54626593
SKX013.
>>54626726
Well I was looking at vintage Seikos, but everything was at least 45mm lug to lug. With 6" wrists that is not going to work. What are some good vintage options?
>>54626793
Measure your wrist width with a caliper. My wrist is ~47.5mm across, yet a sub with 48mm lug to lug looks acceptable.
I personally don't know vintage divers that well besides that I lust for a 36mm super compressor (styled) watch. Anything that roughly fits you combined with a thicker strap, rubber perhaps, wouldn't get a second glance. Question is if you'd feel truly comfortable with it.
If it's the style you like the Armida A11 could interest you size-wise.

>>54626793
yeah I have a 5.9in wrist but I can wear an old sub fine
also look at ladies prospex offerings
>>54615040
Those engravings give you no tactical advantage whatsoever
>>54615040
would be fine without the bezel and black stones
>>54615346
>>54615423
like I said the bezel ruins it
that kind of engraving can certainly look good though, look at old hamilton watches from the 20s
Of course I meant old sub, maxicase doesn't concern us wristlets.

Bitches don't know bout my Citizen NY2300
>>54627161
I've never been super big on Tissot's cases and dials but that triple date seems to work okay
What's the exact name for this watch? Like maybe a link to buy one
What's a good digital watch these days?
The older Seiko digital watches have that Nokia vibe.
/g/'s favorite watch youtuber?
>>54628468
Seiko Lord Matic. You can find them on eBay, but beware, if you are planning to use one as your daily watch they are probably not the best choice, seeing as they're all 40+ years old and the waterproofing is completely shot.
>>54629154
They handle fine as daily watches.
>>54628892

Is a SKX007KC worth $210?
Why is it less than a plain SKX007K?
>>54630424
Well shit. Those are both 46mm. That's too big for me. There was another model very similar that was a 41mm case.
Standby.
>>54630464
>SKX007K
013
>>54630476
It was the 173.
>>54630476
Although that 36mm is really tempting... I'm tired of the larger-than-necessary wrist-pieces.
>>54630525

Sell your watches and buy a better shirt
If it hadn't a day/date window that ugly the SKX031 would be the perfect poorfag diver.
Where can I buy one in EU?
>>54625225
I recommend watching my videos for a complete tutorial on how to handle the rotor.

The 031 is long discontinued bro. You'll have to troll ebay and forum sales if you want one.
>>54632032
Fuck. I don't like the 007 and it's probably too big for me.
>>54632053
There's the 013 and 015 as well. They're smaller.
>>54632072
More of the same shit, no thanks. I'll stalk eBay, forums etc. for a 031.
>>54632124
There's only one on eBay.
But as the resident, kike who's taken quite a liking to jewing people on sales forums, you're very unlikely to find one for sale there.
I literally saw 1 pop up, and it was basically in need of a new movement,dial and hands. Only the case and bezel were salvageable.
I lost the movement of my SKX007.
>>54632164
Can't even see that one on eBay. Mind linking to it?
>>54632211
This one.

Talk to the seller about international shipping, since he only listed CONUS shipping. Sometimes they agree sometimes they don't.

Why the fuck can't I see it when I search for all the ads in the world?
It's not the first time.
>>54632282
All I did was type in skx031 on ebay.com. Maybe you're using a country specific site.
>>54632282
Maybe because you're searching it via a local eBay (.UK, .DE to name a couple).
>>54632292
>>54632296
Yeah, I am [spoiler](.IT)[/spoiler] but I also explicitly said to it to search all over the world.
>>54632304
It searches for sellers that ship to you.
On the global eBay is lists the sellers that don't ship to you at the very end of the search list.
Plus the guy has the aftermarket sapphire crystal along with extra straps.
Also Amphibia on new mesh to trigger all the wehrmachtboos. Pretty easy to resize with the proper tools.
>>54632334
>It searches for sellers that ship to you.
Fucking lame, it should do that automatically. I've been using eBay since 2004 and I didn't know that.
What kind of straps do you guys prefer? I haven't had one of the mesh ones but I'm thinking about trying one
>>54632374
Depends on the watch really.
Nato/zulu or bracelets for tool/dive watches, perlon and leather for casual and dress watches.
