Watch Thread

Solid watches with good mechanisms.

look great but shit quality

is there more?

im bidding on 10 cartiers on ebay right now. wish me luck to win one bros

Just get a seiko 5 or one of the nicer JDM ones. So many choices.

Casio edifice has a lot of cheap options and a nice speedmaster clone.

Also Nixon. I always thought they were garish junk watches until my gf bought me a $500 one that left me very impressed with the finish and machining quality. Still a 200M watch with bezel markings going the wrong way and no lume kek. The sleeker ones look nice doe.

Got this for free a while back, and I really like it now. Thoughts?

Look shit and trendy

Thoughts on this piece?

I really like it but it's going over my price range at $950

another picture

looks great although looks better in this pic than in any other I've seen

Never heard of and for 950$ it's worrying

Yeah I found it on this watch blog, went on sale for pre-order this month.

From what I know it's a small watch company from Chicago.

astorandbanks.com/collections/watches/products/pilomatic-2

If anyone has any experience with this brand, please chime in. I'm a complete noob when it comes to watches.

>"Extra high level"

Looks really nice but idk the brand, read a bunch of reviews or go see it in a store. Don't buy this for 950 thinking the price will guaruntee that it is quality. lots of shit is still in that pricerange

>Hermes
>LV
>Cartier
>Chanel
>Ralph Lauren
>Movado
>Montblanc
>Corum

>High level

i look at them often. but never bid because i remember that i have a shitty car. what good is wearing a nice watch when you have a shitty car. you're basically an impostor.

Not wrong I guess, except for those fashion brands in parentheses after high level, hope that's a typo, they don't make high level watches. You're also missing Ulysse nardin and A Lange and sohn, should go in high and extra high, respectively.
Good luck brug, tanks are my fav by Cartier, are you going for those or like santos or a round option

Also, r8 my collection. Nixon is out of battery, don't wear it. Next I want a swatch sistem51 in pink and an old Seiko 6139 pogue.

Why no skeleton watches? (pic related)

Thats a nice Daniel Wellington you've got there.

they're universally ugly as shit, aside from tourbillon windows.

You triggered me. Show me a Daniel Wellington that looks like this on the back

The only decent watch there is the Nomos. Everything else is disgusting and I would kill you if I saw you wearing that shit.

Ikr. Even the wrong color scheme for the most Seiko if Seikos.

>Everything else is disgusting and I would kill you if I saw you wearing that shit.

No you wouldn't. You would side-eye the dude wearing it, and panic glance away if the two of you even came close to making eye contact.

You would then come onto Veeky Forums and passive-aggressively shitpost about it.

thinking about getting the KGB / CCCP version of the vostok amphibia 420.

Its cheap, minimal and has that socialist effay. On the otherhand it might not go over well with legitimate russian expats who suffered through the regimen. quite risky imo.

what do you think Veeky Forums?

My dad gifted this nautica to me, personally I live it, thoughts?

Your dad must not love you very much if he gifted you some shitty watch bought on clearance at Kohl's

I was waiting for my gf to finish getting changed and I made a shitty watchstrap from some leftover elastic, two keyrings, and a couple staples, since I was in need of a black watchstrap.

r8 or h8

embarrassing

Thoughts on daniel wellington? Poorfag here

Good idea in general. I like the look. Wouldn't trust it with my pricier watches though. Work over the construction, keep the design.

don't
just buy an SARB

cuban/10

:^)

i think in two to five years you'll find it at the bottom of a drawer and have a "what the fuck was i thinking" moment

it's decent looking. and though it's not a "good" watch, it has meaning, which is worth more than anything.

How's this one for baby's first watch?It's only 15 euros/17 dollars

...

2 piece khaki nato on this or leather?

Hows this ?

$15 on Amazon and functional as all get out. Have a skeleton faced sterling with black learher and a fossil for my dress watches.

Looking for an entry watch that works with most outfits. I dont have enough money to by a ton of watches, but I dont wanna super cheap out.

is orient mako a good choice?

>fossil for my dress watches.

Don't buy a diver for that.

>Disliking one of the most consistently quality brands.
More of business causal, I wear it with khakis, the sterling in my suit.

kys my man.

>Quality brand
It's shit. Chinese mechanism in a cheap box sold expensive because of the name

Prove it

ridiculous. save your money for a heuer carrera or something if you want automotive influence.

What do you mean "prove it"

Just find out, watch the review, ask where the mechanism is built.

"most consistently quality brands. " for chad

Just replaced the bezel insert and the bracelet on my SKX007

do yourself a favor and buy a brand name

The Nomos is such a beauty.
I'm saving up for a genuine one atm (wearing a fake)

Team Rodina?

w2c that weird animal print watch

Got this one a few months ago. Shows the tide so cool for surfing. Did I do good ?

Found this laying around. Do u rike?

like the design (of the dial especially) but it looks very cheap.

Almost entirely a shit thread like usual, nice to see a few seikos though.

I've always liked these, but too pricey for what they are though.

Black or good ole SS?

...

...

>Medium level : Tissot, Raymond Weil, SevenFriday...

Medium Level?

Tissot: cranks their shit out and upsells it. Tissot is a commercial brand that mass produces a quality watch but one that is inferior in tech, materials and averages at $400 per watch.

Raymond Weil: Last of the independent Swiss Watchmakers. Sell exclusively upmarket. Their finer models sell for up to $5,000.

SevenFriday: Shitbagger newbies who want to break into the market. On same mass-production belt as Tissot.

Not a fan of the plain steel bezel looks better with the blue one

...

my Breitling

My Omega

I have extremely skinny wrists. Like as thin as a petite girl. I've never owned a watch simply because they always fit so big. What are some guidelines I should follow, looking for watches for skinny wrists? I'm already guessing I'll need to get a custom band. Should I just skip watches all together in this case?

...

you put JLC in both high and extra high level.

Get a watch that is size 34mm or 36mm.
You should be fine

Better shot

Chronomat 38mm not too big or small.

nice quartz

nice sausage fingers you fat fuck

watch threads are always full of fedoras and fatties, usually a combination of the two

>quartz

lol top kek nice try buddy

who shitted in your coffee today?

good luck mane its amazing
its a nixon time teller acetate. pretty shit as far as watches go, i was in high school one tho

I ment a cheap replica (12€)
everything works but the finish just isnt there

Why would they care? It's just a watch. People buy Soviet cameras all the time.

>buying a replica because of the "look"

What's wrong with you

...

>Daniel Wellington
>Nice

Pick one

Why the fuck would anyone ever consider movado high level. This list is complete b8.

Just pulled the trigger on this fampais

Why shouldn't I
I can't affort the real one yet

fuck you people are autistic

So buy something else. Seriously.
Typical chad
