Or this one for $200. This one runs well and has a 50 hour power reserve. Made in Illinois following WWII. This is exactly the kind of thing I want. 22x36mm is tiny though. Such a cool little piece of American history though.

This is sweet for $99. I'm going to offer them $80. The only thing I don't like is gold hands on a gold dial. Kind of low legibility. Love the small seconds like that, with no subdial. Just spinning free there. Must be something to watch.

I got myself a 1950s Pobeda from Etsy, all the sweet talk about being inspected and renewed.
Shit worked for about a week, then started getting random hangups while being fully wound, where not even a flick would get it to unfuck itself.

>>18643050
>from Etsy
Those are all fake.

>>18643050
Shit, sorry to hear. Yeah, I'm worried about these "as-is, no returns" ebay sellers, but I know it's a roll of the dice. They have their reputation on the line. I've learned my lesson with the fly-by-night people from Pakistan and stuff. If something's way too good to be true, it likely is. But if it's fraud then you get your money back. That looks like it's just a printed dial, and it doesn't look 75 years old. But I'm not an expert by any means. I hope you didn't pay too much. I figure with a vintage refurbished watch, that if I like it enough I can get it worked on again myself. If they claim it runs and it's an old ass vintage watch, I imagine it will keep running.

>>18643047
You might like Vostok kommandirskie line. Cheaper and more reliable than Raketa in most cases.

Many franken soviets on Etsy. I found mine usually on Chrono24. or Vinted but only if there was noticeable dirt/blemishes. Too clean soviet watches are not a good indicator.

I owned two Tag Heuer quartz, but gave one to the girl I was dating at the time. She wore it to a "Yellowjackets" show in Seattle. They're a long standing jazz group featured in films such as "Star Trek IV".

The movement eventually failed due to it being vintage - but there is no way to put value on a memory like that.

>>18643382
Is that the same strap they used in the Kodo watch? It elevates the watch, makes it look much, much more expensive. great choice and thanks for the idea.

They're barely worth considering nowadays, you have to know what to look for to get a good deal. People will still keep buying their slop, so they aren't going anywhere. I got the good shit they once made and and the good shit they make now, and i'm pretty much set and can't really be bothered with any of their new releases. I have no problems letting the Seikoslopfags keep funding the brand so that they can make a banger every now and then.

What watch is he wearing here?

>>18643361
> Don't just hang here and constantly cry "year of the tag" over and over.

You don’t recognize what he’s doing. This is something that’s pretty common on /wt/:
>anon buys a watch from [brand]
>he spends a couple weeks astroturfing the board to make it seem like the community really likes [brand]
>anon hopes that he can meme /wt/ liking [brand] into reality
>once anon feels enough people are talking positively about [brand], he finally unveils the watch he bought a few weeks ago and plans to bask in all the anons calling him based for buying [brand]
Then, of course.
>anon does not get the respect he feels he deserves and becomes bitter

Before you ask why anyone would go through all of this trouble, remember that these are people who probably have no IRL friends, while their family and coworkers don’t care about watches. Getting a compliment from /wt/ is the only positive feedback they will ever get.

>>18643471

>>18643514
That's "pretty common"? That would be fucking insane to even think like that. It's an anonymous site that's now a majority schizo, racist, ignorant shitbags. To create an elaborate ruse like that to try and get their $800 cliche watch called "based" is beyond fucked up.
Hanging out here is like living amongst the gorillas and learning about their strange customs and rituals I could never possibly understand. This place makes me feel so fucking normal.

>>18643529

Sadly yes. Anon describes it pretty well. Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple instances of it.
Whoreanon with his GS and his Moser.
OmegaDrunk with his Reverso (he wanted to avoid being called reversocel, I guess)

If you like watches, leave. Just leave, now. This board has become the worst possible place to discuss horology. Look at the watch threads. Half the posts are now from a new avatard cunt who feels the need to show dozens of shots of his ugly dinnerplates that no one even looks at, all with the same awkward light and angle. Then there is the deathless (unfortunately) shit-eating beetle who keeps telling everyone when he drinks a cup of coffee. This literal subhuman (I wouldn't call him that if he was, say, a guy with down syndrome, as his wrist depicted in the photos seems to suggest, but the issue is really that everything he posts and the way he behaves do make him – it – less than a human person), this literal subhuman, I was saying, loves to carry out its excretory activity in the public spaces that least look like toilets, such as our threads, in fact. It jumps in, it crouches down, it takes a shit, leaves. "Kofe time" – and there it is, its big turd. And you, who came here to discuss horology from Casio to Patek, are forced to smell its huge noisy farts, to take them all in your face. And it's no use arguing with it, because it will fart more. It's no use to report it, because it has never been banned, not even once, and all evidence points to the obvious fact that it is a janny itself, so it will always get away with its compulsive animal urge to smear social venues with its own poisonous feces. An alternative watch thread (/alt-wt/) was created specifically to keep that coprophagous worm and other avatards away from watch discussion, but it was in vain: among them all, the subhuman shit-eater is the only one who keeps encroaching on that space to take its huge toxic droppings on civilized people's shoes. It doesn't matter how many times you report it, the other jannies will take no action against it.

>>18643494
wristlets can't comprehend that guys with a wrist bigger than 6" exists. If your wrist size is 7"+ then you simply can't wear 36mm watches they look ridiculous on you, like a childs toy.

> B-b-but men used to wear 34-36mm and smaller in the past, all those ww2 soldiers wore 34mm field watches and they were manly

Okay? So go get a time machine and wear your watch in the past then. People used to wear togas and shit in roman times, do you see anyone wearing that now?

Face the facts we live in the present, not the past, and in 2024 36 mm is comically undersized for a man. Any guy with an average wrist size or above wearing a sub 40 watch looks like they borrowed their little 5 year old son's watch that he got as a prize out of a crackerjack box

>>18643440
I have this watch and honestly it is the best watch ever made.
The high accuracy thermally compensated quartz movement keeps it on the EXACT time pretty much always. plus it has a perpetual calendar that you'll never have to set again.
It also comes very nicely packaged with a mixed zaratzu polished and brushed case with a super comfy and solid bracelet. The double coated antireflective sapphire crystal is so clear you don't even realize it's there.
Anons seethe at it though, must mean I'm doing something right.
Cheers.

>>18643557
Lastly but not least, you have that Turkish cockroach who can't refrain from posting his dirty-looking body and his tacky overpriced mall shitters that he was memed into buying by 4chan anonymous pranksters. The awareness that he was bullied in the most brutal and complete way for being a retard makes him rage uncontrollably, to the point where he starts flooding the threads with utter nonsense and boatloads of copypastas that he keeps in the notes of his phone for some reason. They also do a lot of samefagging, all of them and all the time, in the desperate attempt to bring attention to their laughable shitters and get a shred of validation, since they're no longer able to even convince themselves that what they got is worth the thousands of bucks they threw in the trash bin. They constantly break all of the following rules: a) spamming/flooding; b) intentionally evading spam/post filters; c) this post appears to be an automated spambot; d) avatar or signature use; e) this post is off-topic; f) trolling outside of /b/; g) this post is extremely low quality. But they never get banned. Only seldom does the Turkroach, since he's probably too much of a shitbrain scumbag even for such lifeless and useless jannies. But then he evades the ban and starts again. This board is doomed. Watch threads in particular are a wasteland and an expanse of shit. Let these curious insects throw excrements at each other until they die. Go away, even reddit is better than this.

I wore my GS to a work thing figuring it would fly under the radar like my imaginary friends living inside my computer said would happen, and LITERALLY the first day I did that, one of my coworkers who had never stood closer than about two arm's lengths and with whom I have never discussed watches or "effay stuff" even ONCE was like "is that a grand seiko" and (this part is going to sound like "and then everyone clapped") he actually said "zaratsu polish", a term I never thought I would hear outside of the internet

I wanted to say something about how it was just a 9F shitter but I just mumbled about how I bought it on the internet and then changed the subject but you people fucking lied to me and now I'm paranoid people are going to think I'm either wildly irresponsible with my money (which I am) or that I'm overpaid (which I am not)

It just dawned on me; Tudor is actually better than Rolex.
Tudor is a master chronometer while Rolex is "superlative". What does that mean in practise? Rolex doesn't even do third party certification on them, instead they do their own testing and deem it "better".
I'm so glad I went with my BB54, after getting it, I don't even think about Rolex. In a world where Rolex screams status, Tudor whispers taste. A Rolex is the billboard of success, but Tudor? It’s the secret handshake of those who know better. You pay less, yet get a sibling forged in the same fires—Swiss precision, timeless design, and none of the "look-at-me" hysteria. A Tudor is a poet's watch; a Rolex, a salesman’s pitch. Why spend double to impress strangers when you could spend less and impress yourself?

>>18643425
I know more about watches than you. I've been behind the scenes at the headquarters of some of the most exclusive, luxurious, elite watchmakers imaginable. You'd shit your pants if you so much as even BREATHED at the price of the watches I've personally been privy to inspecting, examining, certifying, and owning.

I never realized that, that Rolex has their own in-house certification. That's kind of dumb. Anyways, I just like the Tudor design language more than Rolex and that's why I'm aiming to get one someday. Probably the BB Bronze 43mm.

>>18643598
I think rolex is better for the casual luxury pieces but tudor is better if you want a watch you can actually roll around in the mud and do manual work in.

>>18643604
Yep, it's not something that almost deters you from wearing it from worry about damaging it, like Rolex can be. I like Tudor because it's a really nice watch brand but it isn't one of those breakout names like Rolex that everyone outside the watch hobby knows. I owned a Rolex but stopped wearing it because the attention I got was almost negative, because people thought I was trying to flex on them or something, even though it was just an older Explorer. They just see the name and make a judgement call on you, like you're bad at spending your money (I'm probably in the lower end of middle class), even though people routinely spend $5000+ on their other hobbies annually and don't get flak for it.

Watches are quite a retarded hobby, when you really think about it.

I don't care what anyone wants to say about Seiko 5 sucking or whatever. I love this watch, it's my first automatic and it has emotional value to it.

They could have at least done an 8L35. They could have charged $500 more for it and it would still be more acceptable than charging almost $2k for a watch with a movement the same tier as an Alpinist $1k+ cheaper.

I'm the anon you're replying to, and I'm sure I'm one of the people you don't like. I am new, but I don't think my watches are "dinnerplates" and I don't show dozens of pics over and over. Just a couple of angles when a new watch arrives.
Some people said they enjoy what I've brought to the board. Not you I guess. What's your deal? Who are you here? You just judge everyone else?
You're like that guy in Art School Confidential who puts every student into some category to easily dismiss.
But what do you do? Which watches do you have? You seem to have spent YEARS here. I don't understand the pushback I've gotten.
For the most part I stay isolated to my own threads. I don't go to each one and say "Hey! Look at me and my new watch!!"
That would be really easy to do. I'm not looking to piss everyone off. But I guess spending a lot of money in a short period of time and not getting a single overpriced memewatch upset or confused people. But that wasn't the intention. I still don't understand why people are such assholes here. I'll keep doing my thing and try not to get in your way. There's room for everyone. And I've seen some supportive comments from less prickly people.
I have learned a lot about watches and purchasing from the board and I appreciate it. But I'm not going to come out the other side with the same tastes as everyone else.

What crypto was I supposed to have bought? I know a few people who lost their asses on that shit. Some people bought bitcoin early and scored, but it's not as easy as "buy crypto, get rich". I have a lot of money I COULD invest, but there's no sure thing. Congrats if you actually did get lucky and rich off of crypto, but you're the exception. Lots of people just lost their nest egg when those scam coins pulled the rug.
Also, not buying Rolexes and Tudors to wear while drilling pipelines and such doesn't mean we're poor, just reasonable. Only some dumbfuck who got rich buying crypto would be so retardly foolish with his money; because he didn't really earn it.
And people like you who make ridiculous statements and call people poor for not rolling in the mud with a five figure watch are often just larping trolls anyway. I'd ask you to post your filthy, dinged-up Rolex but I know you don't really have one anyway.

How do you guys feel about a two-tone bracelet on an alpinist? I have another watch with a green dial on a brown leather strap and I don't want to get rid of either, but they feel redundant right now. I'm considering this bracelet for the alpinist and turning it into a general daily driver. I've never worn gold or two-tone before, though.

So far this year it's been a lot of Timex for me. Old and new (though most of my watches are rather new). Trusty.
>eyeing recently
There's a Bulova at a local store that I can't find anywhere online. It's over $500 and seems to be made of ceramic, including the bracelet. It's deep maroon. I held it and everything, but I wasn't going to buy it and I was so shocked by the price that I gave it back and went left the jewelry dept. But I can't get it out of my head. And searching the web has turned up nothing. Searching that store's own website turned up nothing. I'm hoping it's still there so I can at least figure out what it was. I think it had subdials but it wasn't a chrono. It was 39mm or smaller too. Never seen anything like it. Weird. But now I super want it.

Imagine what a materialist faggot you'd have to be to actually believe this is what's valuable. I don't care if it's a casio, if you grew up seeing your dad wearing the same watch when he brought you fishing and when you shoveled snow out of the driveway with him and when he brought you hiking in the national park and when he was cooking on the grill for your birthday party and all that kind of stuff, that's a piece that represents all of the time he dedicated to you and your family. That's way more valuable than a safe queen, or a piece he bought after he retired that you never saw him wearing when he was doing all the heavy lifting parts of being your dad.

I guess I understand if you're fatherless or you're a spoiled brat that resents your dad beyond any money he can give you. But fuck that's grim.

>>18644736
This. I’ve handled plenty. I even bought a SBGA011 back when I thought Spring Drive was interesting.
Honestly, the quality is no different than a TAG or Longines. The external finishing is fine. The finishing on the hands and dial furniture is fine. (The movement is effectively un-finished by luxury watch standards) The idea that it’s miles beyond anything else is just a neat marketing trick. No one else talks about a specific polishing technique, so it makes GS seem special, even though everyone actually uses tin plate polishing.

Are there any digital watches (telemetry-free) with a build quality approximating a better quality quartz analog? I want to have a more zoomer-friendly appearance so I can perv on younger women without looking so "unc", but I've been floored at how shitty the Casios look and feel in person. Coming from something on the order of an SBGV reference in terms of look and feel. I don't require zaratsu of course, I just want some controls that don't feel like they're going to break, a bracelet that doesn't feel like it's made of folded coca cola cans, decent looking glass, etc. Just something that doesn't look like I got it at a truck stop.

>*reviews thread*

Oh it's more meta drama and name calling, well it's worth a shot, I forgot why I never come here.

>>18644706
They look much better in photos than they look IRL. IRL nomos look like ali express knockoffs of what you'd expect of a relatively expensive watch. I cannot stress enough what a letdown those were when I went to tournwempucherer whatever meme store in midtwon.

>>18644803
*A little under 1.5 inches if you only measure the holes and not the whole strap, which is what I should have done in the first place.

The more I think about it, the more I see how chink watches are actually perfectly designed for poorfags.
>good finishing, materials, and build quality
>cheap movement inside
Servicing a movement can be quite expensive, so poorfags can just pay $50-70 for a new movement, and be done with it.
Meanwhile the beautiful exterior stays, maybe even with some little scratches and signs of wear, which add sentimental value to your watch.

>>18644761
What do you perceive as being "unc" features of a watch? Have you only been looking at polymer casios, or are you also looking at the retro metallic ones like a158 and a700?

I wouldn't think women who don't already know watches for some reason would think twice if you just wore a rolex or equivalent watch.

Less is more with casios, their dimensions can be deceiving. A lot of people just look at the square part and think "well that's not very big" but you have to account for the "lugs" being deceptively long for what they are. But I think the smaller, thinner ones are really classy and comfortable even if you have a bigger wrist.

I don't know why people in these threads think only men pay attention to jewelry fashion, do you not have any female friends or relatives? There's literally grand seiko ads at every bus stop now. Even fp journe has a huge social media presence as well as brick and mortar. Same goes for your "stealth wealth" brands too, you don't think every 3rd rate drill rapper can name drop loro piana and brunello cucinelli? They get the same social media promoted content that you do, I promise

Anyway yeah I am referring to the faux-metal casios in particular that were in my crosshairs. I'm hoping for something at least more like those Seiko digitals that were made briefly in the '00s but those were atomic time signal and I don't even know if the build quality was that great but it had to have been better than a casio

>>18644837
They pay attention to STYLE, not the specific branding or manufactur of your watch. Like if you wore a dive watch to the beach with your beachware that would logically track and make sense but most women aren't going to notice or care if it's a rolex or a citizen.

I asked this question >>18644791 earlier, wanted to ask the thread another. What if I got some 18mm to 20mm lug adapters, a matte black NATO with black hardware, and wore it that way? It would have more visual mass, the NATO would pad under the case and make it look a bit thicker, and it would still be pretty cheap/utilitarian in the spirit of the watch. Thoughts? Is it a faux pas to wear a digital watch on anything but resin or rubber? Would it just look bad?

yea but there's no price on these ads. and a normie seeing it has no way to associate it with crazy wealth. they'll just notice okay this is a watch brand, maybe nice. the thing is shitter brands have their ads too and they too try to make these adds feel luxurious. in Poland where I live there's plenty of shitter ads on tv, notably Adriarica and Aztorin and they really to aim to drill in your head they're premium. so how the fuck a normie, even if they saw an ad, can distinguish your 500k fpj from a random shitter? they can't. and you're a fucking retard.

their marketing spending is obnoxious. I mean they sponsor every other tv show on polish tv with aggressive product placement. we're talking random wrist zoom 5 times during 50min episode and 15 sec spot before and after the show and every ad bloc. the worst thing is these are 350eur cheap quartz shitters and normies fall for it all the time.
so fuck your "GS is mainstream now" no it fucking isn't. average normie doesn't even know what quartz mean and is it good or bad.

MiliFortic 38mm Jumping Hour
I'm not sure what it's homaging exactly. But it's better than the more expensive jump hours I've seen with the circle on the hand because it never lines up with the hour which is a huge missed opportunity. I love this watch. The hand is the perfect size for being legible but not getting in the way of the big event. And it's got the best leather strap. Hell of a cool watch. I catch myself dropping everything and watching it a few minutes until the jump. Blink and you miss it. The seagull movement doesn't have hacking. That's the only "con" I guess. I love it. It's on sale for about $110 right now.
And milifortic has pretty good customer service. I had questions about this watch when I got it that they answered. And I just now ordered another watch from them but I had the wrong model in my cart; one without numbers that I also was considering. I got into a chat with them right after I paid trying to cancel it and they let me switch really quick for no charge and even get the right watch for the same price as the mistake, so I saved $4 more. They were super cool about it. And I guess it's like the middle of the business day for them so I was able to chat live with a real person. Pretty refreshing. That's how you build customer loyalty. And they're also Baltany. I know I'm not done buying watches from them.

>MiliFortic
Wait what? I didn't even notice. Cheeky cheenks

>>18645751
This actually looks ok. The crown could have been a bit wider but other than that i see no other obvious flaw here. Nice and clean, nice hand, the fonts fit... And they cucked Nomos.

>>18645751
>And I just now ordered another watch from them
OK anon, may i ask if and when do you intend on stopping buying more watches? How much of those 89k do you have left now? Would you buy me a watch as well?

>>18645754
I don't know what it means. There are far worse names out of China.

>>18645757
It's a Nomos knockoff? I'll have to see those. Yeah it's no slouch. Everything is nice on it. I love that the crystal isn't domed and the caseback is just plain and screwed down. Everything seems to have a bubble dome and an exhibition caseback now and it's usually not necessary.

>>18645680
>>18645684
We've seen your watch at least 1000 times but, I took the time to think about it in a more objective manner and my conclusion is that; people don't actually realise what they're seeing here.
It is an anomaly in the watch world. I won't say that it is the best value for money that you can get, because sadly this term has also been dragged through the ground and it has lost its meaning, and yet if you think about it, the fact that you can get this watch below 2000$ does not make sense.
First of all, you get the, possibly, most accurate autonomous watch on the planet, no GPS gimmicks, no radio controll no internet whatever, it's just you, in the woods, knowing the atomic time without big tech and or the government being able to track you. On top of that, you literally have a feature that is usually reserved for much, Much more expensive watches- the perpetual calendar.
Technicalities and specs aside, what do you get on the finishing part? It is as good as a grand seiko in terms of Hands and Marker finishing- Spotless, Sharp and no impurities or rough edges to be found. But what does GS-Level mean? Well it literally means that your Markers and Hands do have, on a macro level, better finished hands than 5 Digit Swiss Watches. It doesn't matter if this fact makes you angry or triggered or in doubt, but it is a Fact. The dial itself, the way they did the perception of depth, shouldn't work but it does and youc an even see the sunburst effect too.
Okay so what about exclusivity? Well what defines exclusivity?
>Low production
Check
>Locked behind the country of origin
Check
>Rare limited edition on top of said rarity to begin with
Check
So what about the case?Well it is not zaratsu but it still shouldn't be as good as it is. It is almost distortion free.
But is it all perfect? I don't think so, no. It is too thick, the movement is ugly and the bracelet is below the standards that the dial and tech have set. But again,it's 2000$

>>18645759
>It's a Nomos knockoff?
Not exactly, it's made in their style, and Nomos hasn't made a jumping hour yet, so if they do, they have to do it differently or they will get accused of copying.

>>18645758

I got the one on the left >>18645713
I'm trying to stop buying them. I still haven't used all of my tax return money yet, but I'm not really keeping track. I'd give you a watch if I could. I have more than I can love. It would be one of the under $60 quartzes, but hey, it's free. I would also probably buy you a new shitter for like $25 if I could, but you know how it is. I don't know you and you don't know me and that can never change. If you have a way for me to get it to you without doxxing you or I let me know and I'll do it.

>>18645761
wtf, that Citizen doesn't have all that atomic clock perpetual calendar shit. The one with the bird on it and just a date?

>>18645767
Lol anon i was joking about you buying me a watch, i have 6 of them already, i don't need another one. I'm just worried you might throw all your money away. Please invest some or put it into a savings account or something, don't blow it all on watches.

>>18645774
Oh I won't blow it all in. I'm just spending what I'd usually save. I'm spending disposable income as it comes in.

These watches are redundant or just don't get wrist time. I'm going to give them away. No regrets, just don't love them as much as the others.

That's incredibly badass. But I like this one better. Actually I like aspects of both. I like the hand better on this one and some of the filigree, but I'd rather have numbers and less gold maybe.
I'm never getting a $50,000 watch anyway, but his are certainly among the coolest.

Was a fan for a while. I like that you can customize the bracelet (matte or polished) and in some cases the second hand color.
What killed Czapek for me was:
>learning that meteor is actually not rare at all (check ebay, you can buy a huge chunk of the same exact meteor for $500).
>learning that their site says SOLD OUT to give you FOMO but they actually have stock of the "limited" pieces.
>meeting their CEO at DWW and finding out he's a fat giga-manlet (the worst type of watch company CEO, because they push for gaudy compensatory designs).
The movement on the antarctique is really amazing, but it's the exception to the rule. You picked a great watch, I've seen it in person and the faceted diamonds are really cool. Unfortunately their hands and normal indices are not as polished as a GS. The case details are excellent though.
If I made a shitzillion dollars a year I'd probably buy one but at that price point, I'm not really interested in a watch that I'd wear once a month.

>>18645869
The blue markers are cool, i wish more brands did stuff like this. More precious metals on the dial, and the dial itself. I'd love to see a brushed rhodium plated dial or stuff like that.

>>18645872
They're baguette-cut sapphires, it's a great concept. Unfortunately the blue paint-tip on the second hand looks like something you'd find on ali express. Also if the watch isn't at the right angle, the sapphires are somewhat transparent and dial looks blank. They've got one at DM right now if you want to check it out.

>>18645855
It's weird when a whole style is popular and you're watching it in real time be popular and you just don't get it.
I don't like the integrated thing, the whole kind of triangular, octagonal, grid thing happening now. There's a general aesthetic that is "in" right now along most watch brands. And there's the whole bubble dome sapphire thing. I don't like where we are. I like older things and I'm waiting for what's coming. I can't even find a lot of the 90s style watches I used to like. Because it's not yet really "vintage" and people still have them and others don't want them. Like disco music was for a long time. A 90s Citizen chrono I used to have I can't even find anything close to it on ebay. But watches used to look a certain way then and I can't even find examples or proof they existed. There are just so many models out there and I remember but a few. I need to get some old physical catalogs or something. These companies don't just have pics and listings of every watch they ever made on their website. I don't know why. They fucking should. There should be like a digital museum of their past. I can read every issue of the New York Times in some archive. It's not like some cheap toy from the 90s, or some lost media. We're talking about a $300 watch.

>>18645869
I'm sure a lot of the cost of the meteor is having the equipment and skill to cut a thin slice that qualifies dimensionally and by weight and balance and beauty to be a dial. Having a big chunk of it is useless if you can't turn it into watches.

>>18645876
I'm a poorfag, i'm not checking out anything lol. I'm just 'mirin the watches.

>>18645882
It's literally a block of iron, anon. It's not a big deal at all. Slice and punch, then apply green lacquer.
There are brands that do it on sub-$1000 watches.

>>18645869
I mean you can also get mother of Pearl dials in ultra high end brands and still find that mother of Pearl is super cheap. now that you mention it, it's true that their hands aren't exactly top notch but everything else is just so cumworthy.
while the movement is clearly less impressive than the one in the antarctique still think picrel looks nice too.
+ if you're only buying grey market you can ignore their sketchy advertising...

He means lab-grown diamonds, which are so cheap they’re basically free. It’s why diamond engagement rings have fallen out of fashion: anyone can have a huge rock and the gold of the ring itself will still be worth more.

I used to wear an apple watch until recently. I´ve finished my sleeve and now it won't detect my skin.
Anyhow, switched back to a lovely citizen quartz i bought 4 years ago, it has experienced some rough treatment but i think it still looks great.
