Literally a fake Nomos with a different name printed on the dial to appeal to the WUS crowd of people who want a fake Nomos but were told that FAKE WATCHES ARE FOR FAKE PEOPLE.
I'm pretty tired of this whole "Bauhaus" thin bezel big empty face with seconds subdial and arabic numerals meme, I just wish Nomos would use that beautiful blue dial color on a watch that isn't ugly. Also Nomos has almost doubled their prices on everything in just a few years ever since Reddit decided that Bauhaus design is the pinnacle of watchmaking.

They did make a limited version of the Club a few months ago with the blue dial.
Should I cop?
Had this imported from Japan for $12, not available in the US. Basically a F-91W sized for little jap wrists and a few more edges to it. The packaging, which I don't have a pic of right now, was probably the most interesting part.

>>10582780
I recognize that "leather" strap. It's plastic. The wrinkles are literally molded in. Chinese sellers use it on their super cheap knockoff watches. You might want to consider getting a strap separately and switching them yourself.
>>10583927
/k/ has a massive boner for anything slavic/russian.
Anyway, you can talk shit about a g shock all you want, it's still probably the most functional design out there, even if most of them look stupid.
Can someone give me a rundown of good watches in the ~$1k range? I'm looking at a couple of seiko/entry lvl swiss pieces at the moment

>>10592770
It depends who you're trying to impress. To the average joe an invicta will probably look quite impressive, but they're also the type of person to not really care about watches in general. If you want to impress the real watch guys, then keep away from it.
There are much better watches out there for Invicta money, and they're mainly better because they aren't pretending to be something they're not. Invicta is a blatant Rolex knock off, but if all you want is a big bulky divers watch then I suppose you may as well.

Hello, Id just like to interject for a moment.
We already have watch threads with a lot more posters and more frequent threads here

This has been the watch general / thread for quite a while so I think instead of forking the thread you should post here
>>10595623

can we all agree that a rolex is nothing but just a meme watch ?
Nothing about them catches the eye or tries to do anything new or different. It looks incredibly generic.
>>10595989
They are boring, but they're also a brand with a lot of historical significance, that makes versatile, high quality, robust pieces that you can wear almost anywhere.

Yes, because as we all know Nomos literally invented Bauhaus watches. Oh wait.
>>10600749
Sure if that extra space is to store your razor blades.
>>10592696
you can see it's not the same watch because one says 3 under the glass blob on the left side of the watch and the other one says 9.
These are the 3 I own.
>>10600749
I kind of like it, would probably cop but wear twice in my life, and only then when I'm cosplaying vittorio gassman from the sixties

No I meant that the Rodina is literally a rebadged fake. You can buy the exact same watch with Nomos printed on the dial instead of Rodina. They used to have them on pure-time with the same Seagull movement and everything, but the website got taken down so I guess I can't prove it.

The design is kinda neat, I think, a conceptual mix between Martin Braun and Chronoswiss.
However, you should very sure you want to pay that amount of money for a re-finished ETA 2824-2.
Also, given the fact that the watch is 40mm the lubs wll clearly protude to a length of around 46 to 50 mm, so you should have that in mind.
If you don´t have a problem with the previous statements, go ahead and enjoy it, and please do share pic of your watch here.

There is a complication in high horlogery called "seconde morte" in wich the seconds hand jumps from one second index to the next thus, to untrained eyes, looks like a regular quartz hand, although it was created to improve timekeeping. I actually want to get one of those from F.P. Journe. and the thing is, if you know why your watch is special, the lack of sweeping hand will never bother you.
>>10607070
German style bridges are quite common in high horlogery, my Lange and Glashütte Original use them, as well as several other and independents. Also, my movement is heavenly modified and finished, with waaay better anglage, perlage, côtes de Genève, and both escapement bridge and balance cock entirely made of gold. And you can observe all of this, like this anon >>10607048 pointed out.

look for smaller diameters in watches. There are gorgeous 32-38 mm watches in the vintage market and if someone asks you why your watch is small you can tell them some bs about how it is antique and blablabla.
Plus it'll be cheaper and won't look bad on you.

I think your friend secretly hates you.

>Googles the image
>Limited Edition

It's a nice gesture, but I think your friend wants to see you get bent by niggers, and also has nigger taste.

the best watch ever made
germanfag here
I have 50-70€ available and wanted to buy a watch. literally know jackshit about watches though. most watches I saw in shops were overpriced in my eyes and looked like shit 90% of the time
any recommendations? I'm very well aware of the fact that I won't be able to get some high-quality-as-fuck kind of watch but I still want to get myself a decent looking/working one

>Orient Capital Rose Gold
looks cleaner than most watches in this thread but yikes quartz on a lower end watch
>>10614266
not to mention snap quartz caseback + gold plating usually isn't the best combination for longevity
