Thread 18482660

Let's summon OmegaDrunk.

You know the drill.
This is an accumulation of the Internet's wealthiest and most knowledgeable watch enthusiasts. You can take advantage of that fact by asking niche and very obscure questions, you can join us by posting wristshots, coffee, grail watches and anything in-between, OR you can simply asks us for recommendations and thoughts on X watch.
Keep it civilized, this is a gentlemans hobby after all.

one model brand and the said watch keeps getting worse and worse with every iteration. halo models cant hold a candle to likes of richard mille
>patek
ramping up production way too much, also putting out some absolute dogs
>vacheron
in hibernation mode, not devaluing itself like patek, but becoming less and less relevant

>meanwhile, even though it it mass produced in comparison, everything released by ROLEX is solid gold
>keeps getting better and better when it comes to microscopic level finishing


should i buy a ROLEX right now while they are still obtainable?? i have a feeling they will skyrocket and never come down

>>18482671
Lol. It must be so freeing to be such a pleb

Demonstrably false, a lot of it - a majority in fact - is steel.

>>18482831
timex?

Recommend me a cheap but kino beater.

>>18482831
The guy who recommended the Sinn was 100% on the right track. Buy a watch with a hardened or titanium case so it doesn’t get trashed in a couple months from rubbing against building materials. A few good options to check out (in descending order of price point) would be anything from Sinn, anything from Damasko, an Archimede Outdoor (any model) or 200 series, a Dekla Turbulenz with 6steel case, or a citizen attesa in titanium.
You could also go real cheap and disposable by getting something like a timex or Casio f91w or a159wa-nijh

Forgot to say i don't like divers and prefer sleek, semi dressy watches.

There’s a lot of Seiko, Casio, Vostok, and Timex watches under $100. You could probably also find some interesting vintage stuff on eBay.

isn't that prone to scratches?

Here's what's currently in the collection. I'll probably give the Casio away and replace it with another beater, not sure what yet, and I'll probably get rid of one of the two small dress ones as well.

>>18483493
you have five of the same watch and a terrible casio.

Maybe you can go back to all the dudes whose cocks you already sucked and see if one of them has a Rolex for you.
I don’t think any truck drivers would have a Rolex but, hey, it doesn’t cost anything to ask.

Okay okay, a pack of cigs will do it...

>5 seikos
5 VINTAGE Seikos, the modern ones are gone. I'm even considering a vintage hand wound Seiko as a beater instead of the Casio, to round it all up nicely.

In theory if there was such a thing like a 100% clean one it wouldnt be so bad. But in reality you will catch all kinds of stuff. I don't think a rolex is worth that. Would need at least 500k to a million for that

Do you know what this little symbol under the date on some weekdaters means?

>>18483635
It means you're a dick sucking avaturd.

>>18483635
>>18483639
The star in the triangle? It's just an early indication that the indices were applied, used on the 8970 model which wasn't produced very long. That and the Seikomatic logo (the spinning gyro thingy above the Seiko logo) disappeared with the 8971, but, there were still 8971 models being made equipped with a 8970 dial.
So we have:
8970 dial in a 8970 case
8970 dial in a 8971 case
8971 dial in a 8971 case
All are supposed to be legit, i doubt there would be that many spare 8970 dials around to warrant that many mismatched watches. Plus i personally have a mismatched watch (dial says 66-9880 case says 66-9990) and it's not uncommon.

>>18483639
This is the first Weekdater, model J13080. There exists a variant with all the indices the same length. There's also a variant with black 30 instead of blue.

This was mentioned in the description too, it makes sense, as the star, albeit a bit different, is still used in GS to ibdicate a precious metal dial.

>>18483737
It's rhodium.

Kofe time.

Cringe time.

Imagine having a load of shit watches like this.
WTF are people thinking with these "collections"? they could have 1 or 2 good watches, instead of 30 ABSOLUTE SHIT watches.
It's like you people dumped a big ol' turd on the table, this belongs in the trash. When you die, people will just throw them away.

Another one, fucking Spinnaker, Trashka, Seiko Alpinist, San Martin and shit.
These people are like addicted to buying shit every month, they chase the high of buying something.

>>18483896

Focused watch collections are much better than literal hoards.

>>18483896
Aren't Chinese shitters given for free to be reviewed?

>>18483940
They very often are. And you'd think that would be a privledge reserved for people with large enough channels to make Youtube their full time job, but I've seen literal nobodies with barely over 1000 subscribers get free watches for reviews. It's apparently not as hard as you might think to get free shitters.

>>18484209
Yeah but it's also not as fun to have dozens of free shitters.

I'm going to set your watch collection on fire

Fair point, he looked like an absolute NPC

>>18484271
There's a black guy that works in the same workplace as me that literally asks me for something every time he sees me. He asks me about my watches, my pens, my ear buds, my food I bring for lunch, all kinds of shit, and heavily hints that he'd like to have it. He apparently really likes pens so early on in this "relationship" after I upgraded my pen I was seriously considering giving him my old pen but when he saw the new pen he acted like such a jealous covetous dickhead about me buying nice pens and not sparing one for him I decided against ever giving him shit. The begging still continues though.

Can someone please explain to me how Rolex collecting actually works? Why do people go absolutely crazy for mass-produced Pepsi/Starbucks/Batman "dive larp" garbage, while an understated, classy as fuck rare vintage DJ in pristine condition is only like $5k? Do people just have absolutely no taste?

Also,the highest ever Rolex sold at auction is $17 million for some cheesy old actor's weirdo daytona. But the watch of a WW2 general, and fucking US president, which he wore daily for >35 years, doesn't even break $500k? What the hell is wrong with people?

Does anyone here own the SBGX261? I’m curious whether it is compatible with the SwiftLink, which Steel Reef say requires links measuring 18mm wide with a 9.9mm central unit.

>>18484383
Would you like to be a cool wealthy movie star that drives race cars, fucks bitches, and has his name on a beloved multimillion dollar nonprofit food charity empire? Or would you rather be a zogbot?

>>18484383
Is there anything rare or interesting about Eisenhower's watch other than Eisenhower wore it? Newman's daytona is both a rare example of the watch AND tied to a well liked figure.

>>18484405
> Implying that the movie star isn't also a zogbot
Actors are hands down the most soft and coddled men imaginable. It's not like it requires any particular talent, literally anyone can do it. Then, once you're rich, it's not hard to participate in an activity that only takes money to be good at.

Contrast that with the most powerful military operational commander of all time who would later become one of the most successful US presidents of all time. Eisenhower is the leading subject of dozens of historical biographies, Newman was cheap tabloid fodder for boomers. Absolutely no question as to who I'd rather be.

>>18484424
Do you even know who Paul Newman was?

>>18484409
Yes, it has serial number 150,000 (Winston Churchill was given 100,000) and basically started Rolex's entry into the American market (arguably making the company what it is today).

>>18484425
Yea, I'm honestly not here to shit on Paul Newman (some of his movies are good), and I do think the Newman daytona is cool, but given the choice between Newman's personal watch or Eisenhower's personal watch....I'd take Eisenhower's every single time.

>>18484401
Can't be certain but GS lug width tends to be 19mm

>>18484427
The Newman circlejerk is honestly crazy.
I suspect astroturfing and shill-bidding. Not even boomers care that much about Steve McQueen despite him having ten times the name recognition.

>>18484401
I would be highly doubtful about any aftermarket part fitting properly, especially such a complex one with multiple curves.

>>18484588
Even factory parts often don't fit.

>>18484401
>does anyone own this common watch? I'm curious if it fits with this random shit nobody has heard of
Buy an ad

or /fa/ rings in general

>>18484460
Can confirm, they don't shy away from using odd lug widths, both my Weekdaters are 19mm so i can't get a single strap for it in my whole town.

>>18484596
We accept ring watches.

>>18484427
Movies are only, like, a fifth of why Newman was cool.

>>18485078
It's definitely not in a good condition but I think it's fairly rare if that's what you're looking for. Maintenance should also be easier because quartz I guess. But I think you can find a better example if you really want. Have you tried Japan?

What makes them good is how cheap they are.
Shipping, import and (most likely) buyers fees will inflate the price.
Just be patient and wait for something in good condition to show up close to you on ebay.

I just bought a watch from Japan, everything went fine, i even moght not have to pay the customs.

>>18485198
Listen, the paper takes around 1-2 weeks to arrive. If you actually managed to get away, then congrats. I thought I got away too but two (maybe three?) weeks later the letter came.
Fuck paying taxes on an vintage watch that was already taxed, paid for by already taxed money and taxed when sold again. If you pay import taxes then it's 6 times taxed because the Fee's themselves got taxes too.

>>18485202
I was surprised that they let it through without paying the customs first. We'll see what happens and how much they'll actually charge.

Nice Cot. Nice watch. Why is it so bright though?

The dial shines quite a bit when there's overcast lighting. The other Weekdater is even 'worse' in this regard.

I bought this speedy two months ago and so far I love how it looks and wears but I can't stop thinking that maybe I should have bought Portugieser instead.

It's my first luxury watch purchase and I don't intend to buy anything more. I just want a great daily driver that I can wear to every occasion.

The IWC just seems more delicate? And I love the arabic numerals. I don't have much trouble reading it but it takes me a second or two to tell the time without any hints.

Heal me from buyers remorse anons. Speedy is great and I know it but I just can't stop thinking about the portougieser...

IDK what to tell you man, the 'geiser is nice but a bit big isn't it? How annoying is having to handwind this thing?

>>18489414
Portuguiser is an oversized dinner plate looking shitter. Speedmaster looks and feels better AND is a historic piece. You made the right choice. Don't let weird contrarianism give you buyers remorse. People might say it's boring because everyone has a speedy and a portuguiser would be a more individualized piece for the collection, but the reason everyone has a speedy and nobody has a portuguiser is because the speedy is great and the porty isn't.

>>18489422
I actually enjoy winding it, at least for now
but I guess the feeling will fade after some time

it's a nice morning ritual anyway

>>18489424
Is your plan to wear it every day? I see it as a rotation piece. Winding in the morning is a nice ritual but I don't know about every single morning.

>>18489423
I went to a wedding the other day and there were 3 other guys wearing speedy.
I felt like I'm some kind of tryhard yuppie. If I wanted to fit in I'd buy a rolex

>>18489427
>Is your plan to wear it every day?
Absolutely. Bought sapphire sandwich so I don't have to care about scratches.

>I don't know about every single morning.
If you do it every morning you only have a couple of twists to do. It's not that long. I don't mind, really.
Sometimes I wind it during the evening too just to fiddle with the thing.
As I said, it'll probably become more of a chore as the time passes, but so far it's great.

>>18489428
Wearing a tool watch to a formal event is a bigger disappointment than your watches matching. If you were all wearing the same datejust or constellation or tank or calatrava that would be fine, they're good watches AND appropriate for the occasion.

>>18489432
I don't know about everyone's morning routine but for me personally. If I woke up and had breakfast with my wife every single morning and I wore the watch to work it wouldn't be so bad, I'd enjoy the days when I could wind the speedy while we're having coffee and pastries for breakfast. But I work in the morning and she has a schedule where she works in the afternoon and evening every day for a week and then she's off for a full week, so on her work weeks she sleeps in while I get ready and go to work and then isn't home when I get home, so we don't really have a time where we just sit and chill those days. I just want to throw my work watch on, got to work, come home from work, throw a play watch on and play, then go to bed when she comes home.

That kind of plays into why manual wind is so great for special occasion dress watches. If you only wear a watch for a day or two at a time a couple times a year you only have to wind it once before you put it away again. It's not a problem at all. But I guess our great grandpas made it work.

Don't you get the joy of interaction with mechanical thing? For me feeling and hearing it click knowing that cogs inside are spinning and the spring is tightening it's just a nice thing to do.

I thought that's what we spergs came here for?
The full movement visible via the transparent caseback is a pleasant extra too I guess?

This is all you need. No you don't need a meme bond watch. (moon landing was fake btw)

prove me wrong
protip
>you can't

>>18489452
Does the speedmaster make big notable clicks when winding? I have the new seamaster reissue and I notice that you can't really feel the clicks and you have to put your ear close to hear it. It's pretty smooth unless you wind it over max and the spring starts slipping(it's automatic) then you can hear and feel it and know to stop. Maybe the speedmaster has more going on.

I like that stuff, but like I said sometimes you're just preoccupied and don't want to take your watch off and fuck with it, maybe you forgot to wind it yesterday and it died and you don't want to fuck with setting it, etc... Eventually

it's objectively a technical marvel

>>18489886
Can someone familiar with the process clarify whether the grooves in the subdial are concentric or a spiral please? It's very important for me to know this, my OCD....

>>18489888
Depends.
>cheaper watch = pressed concentric circles
>better watch = spiral
If you zoom on the previous pic, you can see it's concentric.

>>18489901
>>better watch = spiral
But that's just false, a better watch would have concentric circles, none of that spiral fakery.

ay caramba what a dial

>>18489926
Spiral means it was carved into the dial rather than pressed.

>>18489941
Spiral means the circles are not actually circles and you're effectively being scammed.

>>18489941
Why not carve circles then?

>>18489981
Don't ask "why" because there is never any answer.
The only answer is "the swiss have been doing it this way therefore it's the right way".

Hello there!

You should be ashamed to wear a Seiko.

I can confirm, I'm from a wealthy white family ($72k/year before taxes) and I have a christopher ward and a parnis militare and I love wearing my seiko 5 while mowing the lawn, it feels like something a regular, salt-of-the-earth guy would do before going inside to beat his wife

Sup best thread. Enjoy your weekends while they last.

Spayed tortie guy here again, how long did you leave the collar on yours? Mine was groggy and disoriented most of the first day but I've been letting her walk around the house when we're here to supervise and she's already trying to box and wrestle with her brother. They say to leave this shit on her for 10-14 days and I don't want to rush her but she's acting totally normal.

>>18490375
Unironically, in most of the country that's a good living and a good life.

>>18490372
>what a coincidence.
You got me hooked on weekdaters a while back and I was lucky to find one with a reddish tropical dial. I got a good deal on the brushed dial one a year go but I don't like the case as much, the lugs and screwback makes it float over my wrist.

>>18490393
Meh, take it off as soon as the wound isn't bothering her anymore, it's just there to prevent her messing up the wound.

>>18490425
>>18490425
>was lucky to find one with a reddish tropical dial.
Yeah I've seen a couple of them and other models as well with the same kind of patina, it seems that if they have encountered moisture early in their life the layers of lacquer began to fade. I've seen golden, pink, reddish and even purple dials, often starting in the center.
>but I don't like the case as much, the lugs and screwback makes it float over my wrist.
Yeah it is a bit more hefty, it doesn't taper in as well the 8990 does. It does have a small concave section just below the flanks that i only noticed yesterday. I love the sharp lugs so much though, very similar geometry as the Heuer Carrera, the whole case is similar.

>>18490441
>even purple dials, often starting in the center
One of my biggest ebay regrets is not buying a cheap Lord Marvel 36000 with a very distinct purple circle in the dial. I've made some money flipping tropical dial Omegas but the Seikos look really nice when it happens

>>18490441
You get more water resistance from the screw on caseback though, 50m!

>>18490443
LMs got them as well yes, and some King Seikos too.

Hey Z could you call that shop and say thanks, please? Just say that everything was better than expected and express my gratitude and so on. Could you do that for me please? I think it's appropriate.

>>18490151

Can someone identify this watch please? It's not any Breitling I could find, but it has a very similar bezel to older Breitlings, and obviously the two digital screens.

>>18491092
I think the only thing that we and the other thread can all agree on is that you should definitely try to suck-start a shotgun.

Looking for a diver to actually dive with. Narrowed it to these options, but any other suggestions? The bungee strap is a must.

>>18491094
Are you absolutely sure it's not some form of Breitling aerospace?

>>18491113
They also made some similar watches under the navitimer moniker.

>>18491094
maybe one of casio's AW or LCW models?

>>18491104
you know you can get invicta rolex meme for $49 right? that seiko is street line, not for diving. seiko diving is prospex now. look into orient if you want. or get a citizen.

>>18491104
you know dive watches are a meme right? Just get a Casio f91w or the slightly upgraded version with a better backlight and use a dive computer if you really need that kind functionality. Divers don't wear dive watches they wear cheap ones that work

>>18491248
If you're a recreational diver it's fine to have some fun and larp the way they used to dive in the good old days.

>>18491248
What level of autism is this?

Can you casio copers stop giving us a bad name?

Have you fags ever gone outside? Ever gone swimming?

Probably not.

Wearing a dive watch while diving = literal larping

Wearing a F91w while gooning = based and legitimate alpha behavior.

Let me gusse you don't like text on the dial or anything over 40mm?

>just hydro mod your Skmei F91w with the residuals from your bitcoin mining linux rig

Haha no thanks faggot, for me, I wear vintage Tag 1000

>>18491276
You can wear a dive watch sure but it's an outdated method of keeping track of dive times. Any diver thats serious uses a dive computer. a cheap Casio will be just fine at any depth that's safe to dive at and you don't have to shell out more than 20 bucks for it. win-win imo, why overspend unless you want to signal to other people that you dive. just be honest with yourself anon, it's fine.

t.coastal surfer anon who dives for fun

>>18491248
why won't you have a cheap dive watch if you do diving ?

>>18491283
you can't time dive time appropriately with a cheap casio

>>18491287
>>18491288
if you wanna get into the weeds about it a cheap diver isn't a good choice either. Most divers wear a dive computer as I already said, and something like a smartwatch or a G-Shock as a backup in case the computer fails. No one wears mechanical watches for diving anymore unless you're a watch enthusiast. And if you are, any Seiko diver or other watch like it will be just fine. And saying it's a backup is mostly just so people don't look at you like you're crazy for wearing one. I just say Casio because chances are you aren't going to need it if you just want a watch that will survive the water. But if you want to buy a diver and say you went diving with it, buy whatever you like and don't pretend it's for utility. It's for the flex. I have nothing against dive watches, just people who won't admit it's for the style points.

Your mother is an outdated method of dumpstering my cum.

So you're a gate keeping beach bum?

I wear a dive watch so I can wash my girls pussy juices off in the sink.

Cool story tho, I'm sure you look sick with your f91w on your boogie board.

I wear 300m dive watches to the mall.

For me, its the Invicta Pro Diver 45mm.

I'm not sure but I searched for like 3 hours for all possible vintage Breitlings and couldn't find it. That was the first thing that popped to mind. I'm not seeing a Breitling winged logo anywhere, and I couldn't find a single one with just 3 and 6 so I don't know.
