Kofe time.

I've thought about it for a long time, and I've decided these are the most obvious signs your watch is a BOZO WATCH.
>ceramic case (or bezel)
>multiple complications (ex: chronograph+date)
>integrated bracelet + complication (besides date)
>38mm+ time only watch
>unnecessary thickness

M5610 with MIP display and step counter would be the best watch ever made and will bring casio trillions.

Are watches the only /fa/shion feature which there's no point in spending more money on?

I've copped this peice for less than £40, and it looks sick as fuck. I've been coming to this general and /wt/ for ages, and every single watch that's ever been posted here looks like shit. And then I see the price tag! Yet can spend 1/100th of the price on something that actually both looks cool, and expensive to normies.

With any other fashion item, spending a little bit more will make you look better, even if it's subtle and doesn't necessarily jump out screaming wealth, people can still subconciously feel a more sophisticated and serious aura from you. Whereas with this watches, all these expensive ones look both shit and cheap.

Like the BB54 last year, like the BB58 the year before. You're under the influence of marketing.

no, go for it

>>18453124
Stowa makes some Bauhaus-styled pieces.
Really, though, the company’s policies shouldn’t bother you. Literally no one outside of one or two schizos here gives a dead rat’s ass, and definitely no one in grass-touching world knows/cares about Nomos.
If you like the look of it, buy it. If you don’t want to get roasted here, don’t post pics of it.

>>18453124
Stowa like the other guy said, but also junghans and junkers. But I feel the most bahaus brand is braun and they’re real cheap. I feel the same way as you about nomos, I like their new worldtimer but every time I’d see the dial I’d just see “HOMOS” and think of how they sued mühle glashütte because they’re bitches

>>18453298
No, it'll look good if you pair it properly.

>>18453579
It will look very nice with golden teeth for example.

>>18452901
the more I think about it the more I realize how uncontroversial this is

>>18453630
It’s not any specific brands, but what it is/how you wear it.
For example, an adult wearing an anime themed watch (or anything else anime themed for that matter) is a massive red flag.
But even if you have an ostensibly “nice” watch, if you’re going out of your way to “subtly” make sure everyone sees it, that’s also pretty cringe.

>>18452901
is BOZO an acryonym for something?

t. not online enough

>>18453732
No, it’s the name of a clown that appeared on children’s television programs in the US in the 50’s and 60’s.
It’s anon saying that any watch he doesn’t like is for clowns. We’ve been here a thousand times before, some poor autistic soul unable to distinguish his opinion from others’ but getting very upset by it.
Tiresome, really.

>>18453741
>We’ve been here a thousand times before, some poor autistic soul unable to distinguish his opinion from others’ but getting very upset by it.

More than that, once they have decided on what the only “good” watches are, they unironically start criticizing others who own those watches for being uncreative.

The amazing thing is that they’re not trolling. They actually are that retarded.

Stowa is made in china. They were exposed in a hilarious way when someone showed off a noname bauhaus chinkshitter on the official stowa board on wus that had a stowa engraved caseback. The mod of that board, stowa president, refused to deny that their shit is chinkmade and promptly fled the board and never posted there again rather than face the increasing heated questions.
Might as well just get a chink minimalist watch in that case. There's some seagulls that seem ok. There's also the chink micro, seestern, that's doing more nomos knockoffs.

>>18453926
>Might as well just get a chink minimalist watch in that case.
Do you have any recs?
I didn't see pilot watches (on the Stowa/IWC/Laco design) made by San Martin, Sugess or Watchdives.

>>18453934
Seestern has a pilot model that looks like an older IWC Mark X, iirc

i like citizen and i like ironic/gawdy fake gold shit but the two don't really mix

anons i am looking for an alternative to this watch.
most of the new citizen stuff looks trash, so i am open to any brand. it should be durable and under 1000 bucks.
the main thing i like about this watch is its nice blend of digital and analog. so by design it should come close to this.
anyone got any advice?
