Thinking of getting an Apple Watch lads.

>>14006440

>>14006440
Unironically kill yourself

There are two watch threads up that haven't even reached their bump limit yet you spastic.

No wonder you faggots got kicked off of /g/, how many threads were up at once on there before they got sick of your shit?

>>14006496
You can blame the guy who makes the threads with [something] on the subject

Lotta threads right now.

I’m a current Shinola HQ insider. Fuck this company. I predict it will be done in about ten years. AMA about this awful marketing scam.

>>14006607
you've posted this in every thread just give us the rundown of why they'll be dead

>>14006607
Good thing I have never even considered buying a Shinola

>>14006607
Tell us the story

>>14006601
>You can blame the guy who makes the threads with [something] on the subject
Why is this? The aidsnigger that made this one did so despite the thread it was derived from not yet having even reached the bump limit yet. Bunch of attention whore faggots fighting over who gets their obsolete jewellery of choice as the OP picture for a few days, fighting lile children and shitting up the board.

>>14006437
>That watch
Looks cool, but I don't want to risk drowning in an ocean of pussy.

How does bracelet (Silver, gold, etc) and watch coordination work? In terms of style and placement. Do's and do not? Help a nigga out.

>>14006437
I would really love to find one of those Ana digis. Maybe with time and pacience.

Shinola has painted themselves into a “luxury” corner.
Basically, the brothers that started Fossil had a falling out and one left. He did some market testing and determined that Detroit being a bombed out shithole would make for a good marketing scheme.
So he starts this company and pats himself on the back for giving black people jobs. Meanwhile, native Detroiters are already sick and fucking tired of people moving in from out of nowhere to help with the “renaissance” and Shinola’s heavy handed/borderline racist marketing didn’t land well.
They’re stuck now because they’ve painted themselves as super upscale and don’t want to tarnish that by lowering the prices on the watches.
Cost on a Shinola watch, with labor, is about $70.
The company is bleeding money because they’ve stretched themselves way too thin, trying to be design heroes (the latest headphone flop being the prime example)
Everyone in the city considers them to be that obnoxious guy at the house party that won’t stop changing the music and asking for weed. It’s a huge eye roll. They waltzed in here from Texas and pretended they gave a fuck about the city and people can tell. Pure cringe.
I repeat: cost on a Shinola watch is about $70

>>14006749

>>14006704
Looks nice, shame it is not steel.
How much did you pay?

>>14006765
10 euros. It is really a shame, I though it was a steel case. At least it looks nice.

>>14006770
Well 10€ is a bargain no matter the material used there

>>14006437
I'm a poorfag that wants to buy a cheap but nice watch, any guide?

By cheap I don't mean dirt cheap, but probably significantly less than the aficionados in this thread spend.

I'm really inclined to buy this '68 omega geneve. Now I know that it has been properly serviced and is not a franken. But what im afraid is that it is going to be too small because the diameter is only 35 mm. What you guys think?

>>14006818
It's only small compared to some modern gaudy shit.
If you have 8 inch or smaller, it will wear well.

>>14006824
Okay, sounds great! Do you think 590 euros is okay price assuming that everything works fine

>>14006818
It's a dressier style vintage watch, it's supposed to be smaller. Pic related is about that size (may be 34mm) on my 7.5" wrist.

>>14006837
35mms are fine.

Bought my first watch, thoughts? I'm planning changing the strap for a black leather one so it looks less homo

Should I stop buying and selling shitters and irresponsibly buy the perfect, do-it-all Explorer

>>14006837
You can get them cheaper if you lurk the listings a bit, but 590 is okay assuming it's gold.

>>14006853
dont buy made in china faggot
fuck timex my grandpa used to buy them because they used to make all their watches in usa

>>14006880
if you mean you keep buying cheap watches and going for more cheap watches then yeah just save up

>>14006939
I'm stuck in a loop of buying cheaper stuff thinking I'll like it, hating it when I get it, and getting rid of it losing some money. Or just returning them if I can

I have a second hand shop near me who is selling one for 175 euros but it's not really Ina a good shape. I don't mind an old worn watch but that one is too much.

>>14006852
That's a nice watch.

Thoughts on this Seiko? Basic safe choice for a budget dive watch?

>>14007023
This
I don't get it why someone would force the swiss elitism club on fucking 4chan of all places.
95% of watch related sites and forums etc already cater to this kind of audience.
Also I have a hard time imagining anyone who frequents these threads actually buys super high end watches, sure there are some rolexes, omegas and layeranon, but that is it.

this. theyre not even that expensive if youre a /k/fag
plus if you dont like em you can sell them off and make free money

>>14007643
subs are tougher versions of the oyster perpetuals your grandaddy wore.

>>14007651

>>14006437
This one made the Knight Rider theme play in my head somehow.

>>14006751
You’re not saying anything that isnt an inference. You have no “inside information”. Also who gives a shit most watches are cheap to make and expensive cus of marketing and the fact that they don’t need to sell that many

I like this Japanese reproduction but its still like $300

>>14007663
It's a pain in the ass, especially cleaning off all the smudges and dust. Your little tent setup looks way more professional than what I do, let's see those photos.

>>14006751
Everybody who's not a paid shinola shill already knows they're fashion watch garbage from first glance. I'm surprised the cost is as high as $70, must be a lot of mismanagement.

>>14007758
why is this watch so popular in mexico and brazil?
each youtube video that talks about this there will be at least one guy in the comment section that posts in mexican

>>14006971
The rolex aint gonna stop that, you need an inner realisation that you can enjoy the craftmanship of a watch independent of price. Greetings from a dude whos owned around 30 watches including rolex, tudor and omega and a lot of shitters

>>14007772
Is the dynamic really as comfortable on the wrist as omega touted it?

>>14007827
It doesn't really feel different than wearing any other watch. I think it was just a contrived advertising campaign for a goofy looking UFO watch. It is a pretty nice watch, though.

Which 36mm automatic Seamaster is the one to get?

>>14007845
The radial brushing sure is nice. Too bad the later models were just polished.

>>14007607
Orient is so amazing! i would rate them over some 3k plus watches

What do you guys think of this el primero HW?
I'm looking at EPs in the $2k~$3k range and I'm liking the numerals on this compared to silver indices. Only downside is that it's not automatic like the original movement.

>>14007852
save your money

>>14007913
Nothing wrong with handwind movements. That date window is an eyesore though.

>>14007913
For that price I guess it's okay for a decent chrono. I certainly wouldn't pay more than that for a Zenith.

>>14008165

>>14008165
why dont you get a better watch for $600 rather than 3 mediocre watches for $600

>>14008251
I like variety

>>14007752
The next two big releases will be a Runwell automatic and a composite (plastic) case watch called the Detrola.

I’m well aware that a lot of brands just rely on lifestyle marketing, it’s just that I find Shinola to be overly cringey and also obnoxiously pimping out MY city.

I can also tell you that we’re bleeding money, and the execs are freaking out. It’s not looking good.

>>14008180
>fucking gorgeous design
>writes a fucking novel on the dial

why did tudor do this

>>14006437
Does it come in gold?

>>14007752
The marketing is over the top cringe and obnoxiously pumping out MY city.

This year, watch for a plastic case watch to be released, I’m excited to see how people react.

What I can tell you for sure is that the company is bleeding money and execs are extremely worried.

>>14008180
I prefer the omega sneedmaster.

Any reason not to buy this?

>>14008287
If a rolex submariner lookalike is what you're going for its not a bad option.

You could probably get something more unique for the same price, but its really all about what makes you happy

>>14008280
do you have other companies that make their watches in usa because shinola is all i can find

>>14008316
There’s some micro brands out there. I’m not that concerned with literally everything I buy being made in the US. I just want the best shit. I’d rather have my watch being made by a company with decades of experience as opposed to someone who just started

>>14007202
i doubt it, no

Disgusting. I own enough shitters. I have an Alpinist in the mail, I'll probably hate it, too

>>14008180

>>14008579
I don't think they are looking for custodians at Rolex

>>14007772
>let's see those photos.

yeah, i noticed that apparently my watches are absolutely filthy. the more i zoomed in the more disgusting they looked. after messing around with this stuff i have so much more respect for people who take professional photos.

also pic related is what came out of it. i need to figure out how exposure works. even with all those lamps it still came out looking dark somehow

>>14008759
You're using continuous lights? Those are kind of a pain since you have to keep the shutter speed fast so the seconds hand doesn't blur, unless you hack the watch but then the crown looks ugly sticking out unless you do some elaborate photoshopping to put the crown back in its normal position.

Get a flash or two instead. They can be cheap, it doesn't matter. They don't have to be very powerful at all since you're working so up close with such a small subject.

It's definitely a big pain in the ass, but I think it's a nice challenge for me since I almost never do studio photography where you have to control everything.

>>14008781
>You're using continuous lights?

yeah, i'll look into the flashes. also a photography tutorial because it's like playing wack-a-mole. i change one setting and everything just gets worse.

>>14008749
I’m not moving to Switzerland and I’m not a custodian.

>>14008362
I like it, but wish it had hacking/handwinding.

Is the Precista PRS-82 cool? I think it looks quite nice as a unique-ish submariner alternative that has some actual history behind it.

I have heard the cases are made in china and the movements are nothing special but for a $500 diver with an ETA movement and a screw down crown it doesn't seem awful. Am I missing a huge flaw?

>>14007553
Neither of those are steel.

>>14007595
This

>>14007133
Even /g/ wasn't this bad. There was a decent amount of discussions about stuff like Bulova's accutrons, spring drives, I remember upcoming watch makers regularly working on cheap watches like Bocтoк, and Seiko 5s.

There was of course the occasional Rolex or Archie shill, but the threads were generally enjoyable. Personally I think it's two or three samefags who've been shitting up the threads over the last half year or so.

Posting my go to again.

I’m looking for a vintage Datejust. What you guys think of this one? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192787670020

>>14009205

>>14007852
How big are your wrists? I don't think the full size wears that large, plus they're the same price so you get less for the money.

Pulsar digitals are generally steel, Nixon make a steel digital that is also branded Adidas. It's in this post >>14009112

>>14009246
It's a fantastic watch, I rarely wear any of my shitters anymore.

>>14009232

>>14009580

The landmaster is based off of the model that went to space.

The one that went to space has very limited numbers if I recall correctly. Like a handful if not less.

>>14009724
It looks similar to the f 98 w. But I can't find one with the checkered strap. Try to find from this.

How can I find out where my Bulova watch is made. All I found on the internet was that some are made in New York, and Bulova Accu watches are made in Switzerland. Are there any Chinese Bulova watches? I've had it for about 15 years and it was a present.

>>14010051

>>14010053
Doesn't have it. I already looked

Round glass means easier crystal change and the potential of popping in a sapphire crystal

Affordable but a good one. I see these from time to time on ebay.

I'm trying to save money to buy the NOS a914 on ebay.

Oh Christ, the retard that spend $600 EACH buying TWO of those retarded $200 solar shitters as an INVESTMENT

>>14010713
Thank your for your input bro, make sure to check searches for "seiko lcd" or just seiko watch, some list them without any specific info.

>>14010723
I think that is the last, hope everyone enjoyed my fine timepieces.
Cheers.

>>14010731
Yeah that's fantasic, since the bulb on my a914 is broken I've never seen one with the light on.
And thanks for the tip, a lot of people are fucking awful and don't bother to check what model they have and they'll just call it "80's Digital Watch" and then any other watch clickbait words like seiko tudor and rolex

>>14010740
a914 uses a 3 volt battery so you can replace the bulb with a led if you are up for it.

>>14010748
Right, but that wasn't the only problem.
For some reason the watch will freeze up and different parts of the lcd will flicker. Sometimes it stops on it's own and other times I have to tap it to bring it back.
I don't know what is causing it exactly because I don't have my tools right now, but I suspect it may have to do with the battery.

>>14010731
I did enjoyed them, and you gave new watches to look for. Thanks.

>>14010751
Sounds like a take it apart, clean everything and change the battery -case. Usually works wonders, it could be the caps though, but I doubt it.

>>14010753
Thank you bro, much appreciated.

pretty fucking gay

Anyone else into watch ASMR?

What do we think of Soviet watches?

>>14010788
Thanks, I hope it's recoverable. I don't really want to buy a new one so I'll try doing that once my friend gives me my tools back.
>>14010824

>>14010970

>>14006437

>>14009243

>>14011244

>>14009724

What are you, 10yrs old?

Not expensive or anything, but my favorite of my budget collection.

how do I know if the CA-53W calculator watch I have is genuine? It says "made in china" in the back??

>>14011641

Probably, but most of mine say "cased in China"

Perception is reality anyways, nobody gonna think that shit is fake.

>>14011668
I dont care if people think its fake, but I do. i like my things to be original :)

>>14010510
I can afford fancy watches I buy seiko by choice.

Just copped my grail boys, waiting for it to arrive. Will post pics in next /wt/

>>14011910
As long as you're happy that's all that counts I guess. Personally I think you're crazy, those aren't cheap.

>>14011502
That's nice, post the rest anon

Bought my first luxury timepiece on saturday. Got it at a 60% discount. What do you guys think?

>>14011958
bait/10

>>14011910
Nice. There was an anon who had one a while ago who had to sell it sadly. Wonder what his collection is like now.

>>14011958
This is what business students in the uni in my country consider luxury

>>14011963
Kek, when I was in secondary school a friend of mine bought an armani watch for 500 euro's. Back then I knew nothing about watches and I thought it was cool.

>>14011502
I unironically love my aq 230.
Got the silver one with white dial and numbers.
I love casios helvetica numbers print and the symmetry and proportions of this small watch are just so pleasant to look at.

I wish modern watches would implement that sliding clasp design in some way. Should be possible even with thicker bands.
And no, i don't mean diving extensions. I mean bands where you dont have to get pins out to adjust them. Screwed links are nice but heavier and more expensive, so a sliding clasp would should be a thing on more watches.

>>14011958
Is that the new AP? How did you get it already?!

>>14011967
>bought an armani watch for 500 euro

>>14011971
AP straigh up stole the design from sempre, they are sold usually in the aldi discounter here in germany.

>>14011977
Truly pathetic, I never liked AP, PP fo life nigguh

>>14011977
I like how all the watch sites are praising the new AP 1159's but every single one of the comments on the same sites is saying how bad they are. How I wish there was a watch site that gave honest reviews and weren't paid shills.

>>14011978
Well, PP is a jewish led company that makes their watches super duper special with marketing kikery, like long waiting lists and for some models you need to proof to them that you have a honest business and really deserve to wear the watch.

I can't afford PP and if i could, i would feel like being their bitch and paying money for it. No thanks, jews.
>>14011982
Yep, basically any paid reviewer is nowadays just an advertising tool. Reviewers of any kind should only be used as a starting point and then one should skim the forums for more in depth stuff. People tend to be more honest there and the ones that hate the brand often have the interesting stuff to tell.

Soviet dress watches are great.

>>14011200
Just get a SARB

>>14011958

>>14012006
That one looks pretty neat, I like that it's in English too. Original strap?

>>14012012
Sekonda was a brand that used to import various Soviet watches under their own name. The strap isn't original, it was on a shitty expanding bracelet when I bought it. The original would have been a pretty cool steel or gold bracelet like a very fine milanese mesh, like left & centre in this pic.

>>14011489
Weeeak.

Almost had a rage attack. The stepper rotor flew off the tweezer, and since it's magnetic I feared it got stuck to something and I'll never see it again. A new one is $36 on Borel. Also the watch is my own King Quartz, so no chance of finding a reasonably priced donor either.

Luckily after an hour of scanning the floor I found it stuck to the cleaning basket. Pic.

>>14010510
I still appreciate a Toyota Corolla as much as a Mercedes C250, the Corolla is a good product at a small price compared to a very expensive Rolex. I buy Toyota and Seiko as well as my Rolex and Mercedes. YOU DON'T GET IT

>>14012231
Comparing watches and cars is dumb.
In the car world it would mean like 50s tech.
Imagine people driving around with old ass cars without any high tech systems such as abs or even fuel injectors while simultaneously feeling superior to people who drive modern cars.

>>14010510
"I don't like watches. I just like expensive stuff"

>>14012250
Pretty much sums up many people in the watch scene, especially archie fans.
