I'm over watches as well, when I get an endgame swiss watch (something like JLC or Panerai), I'll stop caring whatsoever

>>18507048
That's great news anon, that means you can leave these threads forever. See you tomorrow.

The Pasha has always been ugly.
It's one of many Genta's shitty designs.

>>18507108
Looks better than any Soiko or Shitizen

>>18507108
I'm sure it's a nice watch but it looks a bit 'messy'.

I prefer the cleaner lines of my CW 12.

>>18507108
>>18507116
Cartier is a design house. They’re always looking for new ideas. The notion that everything they come up with timeless is just silly.
In the quest to create cool looking watches, they’ll make plenty of watches with a timeless design, but plenty more that are cool for their era and look horribly outdated afterwards. That’s the nature of fashion.
Fortunately, they’ve had enough hits that they feel free to experiment which increases the likelihood they’ll come up with something new and interesting.

>>18507140
You're just a seething racist lol

My nigga Chino Moreno wearing a nice Datejust 36.

>>18507214
Wearing a 36mm watch proves you have taste.

>>18507214
doesn't go with his style

>>18507227
Since his "style" is looking like he just got pulled out of a pool drain, I don't think any watch would go with his style.

>>18507146

Not a dress watch.

Milgauss

Choose one.

>>18507245
I want to like zodiac but this case is absolutely ugly and super sea wolf is a moronic name.

For me it's the PETITE HEURE MINUTE DRAGON AUTOMATON by JAQUET DROZ

>>18507227
A 36mm Rolex goes with everything.

>>18507248
That's an Olympos, not a Super Sea Wolf

>>18507260
I kinow, i want to like zodiac in general but they are all bad.

An OP is not an Explorer or a DJ.
OP are wagie zombies watches, it's not for "rockstars".

>>18507273
Why would that be? There's only a $1000 difference in retail.

daily reminder that the only only only rolexs worth getting are the 36mm explorer and the yachtmaster 2 every other rolex is cringe and gay and possibly homosexual as well.

>>18507273
I don't get your point. Rolex has never been a "rockstar" brand, and it's not even trying to be one (just look at their ambassadors).
The OP, Explorer, and DJ are basically the same watch. The differences are entirely about storytelling
>OP is the trendy watch with flashy colors
>Explorer is the professional, heritage-inspired watch
>DJ is the status-oriented watch
In the real world, they serve the same purpose and are worn by the same type of people.

>>18507108
I like the dial aside from the location of the cyclops, same with this one. Case needs a reworking though

>>18507334

No I will not elaborate.

>>18507437

Not really. Cartier didn’t make a real sports watch until the Calibre de Cartier Diver, which was underrated but still pretty ugly.

>>18507434
>>18507450
Still waiting for a pic of your ALS, Patek and Rolex collection with timestamp.
Oh that's right... you only have a Seiko.

>>18507570

>>18507576
I agree. Seiko and Casio are gay brands indeed.

>>18507108
I like it. I thinking about getting a pasha

what should my next watch be? <$5000

i'm thinking a grand seiko first (3180), an omega pie pan, or a datejust ghost dial from the late 70s.

Any fellow perpetual calendar bros around?

I've been thinking about Mido Ocean Star or Commander Icône for my next watch.

I like the Ocean Star and I don't really have a sports watch at the moment, except my Alpinist. Commander Icône is kind of nice but seems huge as shit, and for dress watch I think I still rather have Cartier or other tank type of watch.

Any experiences with the brand? I know it's "swatchshit".

>>18507985
pic related are my thoughts

>>18507046 (OP)
>If you post a Citizen or a Seiko in this thread, your mom will be raped by a pack of black gentlemen tonight.

What's wrong with Citizen or Seiko?

>>18507996
Incel watches.

How many watches do you guys have? My second one is coming today.

>>18507989
That bad huh?

>>18507985
It's a good brand but mostly sold in LatAm and Asia

>>18507985
Mido is a weird brand because their best looking options with proper specs and nice complications are either integrated bracelet, so you're married to the bracelet forever, or they're 42mm or more.

If you want a bog standard 40mm diver with date I think Certina has better and cheaper options. They even have a good looking titanium diver now, although there aren't a lot of color options for it yet. It's either this black with yellow lume or blue with white lume.

>>18508058
Also there's a 38mm version but the only color option has this gay blue lume.

The most beautiful blue colored dial out of any watch for any money is on this Oris.
Live with it.

Brands like Mido, Certina and Oris do absolutely nothing for me. The history behind them is non-existent, their designs are generic as fuck, their movements are meh at best... They don't even have a distinctive appeal that some microshitter brands can have sometimes.

>>18508105
>diver with 100 m WR

>>18508154
Same, if you're getting an entry-level swiss watch, better get a Hamilton, Zodiac or Alpina, they at least have some character

>>18508168
Skin diver.

Why do you even need pushers? Watches are for day drinking

Looking for a more or less modern quartz watch with the case/dial looking similar to Dexter's Waltham watch. Not looking for the original, because they are usually scratched to hell and I just want something to casually slap on once in a while

>>18508205
Paulin watches

What is the best looking watch thats fairly cheap ($100 or less)

>>18508572
seiko quartz but is 130ish from jomashop
casio a158 / a159 is cheap and people like it more than normal watches

>>18508572
Do you mind digital? A lot of the retro casios with the metal bracelets are thin and light and easy to wear with anything and most of them are well under $100.

>>18508572
get an alba

rec me a good seiko wrist watch for under 100 doller guys

>>18508214
Nice recommendation anon I checked them out and theyve got some cool stuff

>real name is Auro Montanari but uses the fake jewish name (((John Golberger)))
>almost no infos about his past, all come directly from him
>got busted by Perezcope for forging a fake "unique" Rolex that sold at auctions for $6 millions
What's the deal with this guy? He seems shady as fuck.

Is Breitling and Omega the android of watches?

Every time I meet someone with either they go on a rant on how bad rolexes are

>>18508732
Rolex, Cartier, Patek, AP : iOS
Breitling, Omega, IWC, Vacheron : Android
Grand Seiko : Ubuntu Touch

>>18508718
Save 200 more and we can find you a really good Seiko. For a hundo you're better off elsewhere. I could maybe find you a good vintage Seiko, perhaps even a quartz, on eBay or some other internet shop or whatever, but then there's shipping, and import duties, and taxes... And maybe you'd have to service it a bit... So it's a tough one for a hundred dollars.

>>18508724
>real name is Auro Montanari but uses the fake jewish name (((John Golberger)))
Shouldn't it be the other way around? Or maybe there's another -stein behind Montanari.

>>18508886
The price is not surprising, considering the amount of hand labor involved along with creating a shaped movement that cannot be reused in any other watch.

>>18508894
Then don't do it by hand retards? Why the fuck would I finance some mountain jew who gets like $20k/month?

>>18508906
Some people disdain mass produced slop, I guess you’re the other guy.

>>18508843
[spoiler]I'm more of a feet kind of guy[/spoiler]

my "amazing value for money" seiko watch is entirely machine made that must mean all watches are made at the same bottom of the barrel standards!

>>18508907
Answer the question moron. A guy who does the same thing in India gets $20/month. Why would I finance the $20k/month one?

>>18508906
Why do you get mad about something you're not even in the market for? If you have hundreds of millions or even a billionaire collecting interest or dividends on that, 80k is practically fuck all.

34-35mm was normal size before gaudy plate sized blingy shitters.

>>18508923
>A guy who does the same thing in India gets $20/month.
He doesn't though.

>>18508923
You figured it out, man. You should find that indian guy and start a watch company. You'll be able to sell them at a great profit.

>>18508931
Yeah more like $2.

>>18508933
Yeah that's why 1:1 Rolex fakes made in the same factory as the real ones sell for $15k right?

You WILL transfer wealth to Switzerland - you WILL pay the overhead of swiss labor, you WILL NOT buy a Citizen for $200 and be done with it.

YOU WILL TAKE THE WATCH COLLECTING JOURNEY.

>got busted by Perezcope for forging a fake "unique" Rolex that sold at auctions for $6 millions

>>18508943
Now you're comparing a mass-produced watch with a hand made one, produced in the few dozen each year. Huge difference in finishing and labor spent on one watch.

Rolex own their own factories, are practically vertically integrated and use proprietary tech. So no, Chinese replicas are not made in the same factories.

>>18508954
There's a poorfag thread for you retards to shit post in. Let me guess, you're the faggot with communist junk in the watch box posted above.

And also nonexistent.

>>18508957
>>Now you're comparing a mass-produced watch with a hand made one
No, I'm comparing two mass-produced watches, one in China, the other in "Switzerland" (China).

I bought a $5 watch on amazon and it keeps losing track of the time every hour, the minutes hand gets stuck at 55 minutes. I'll just get a casio next time

>>18508954

>We conceive, develop, manufacture and assemble our timepieces entirely in the canton of Neuchâtel and Jura (Switzerland), at the heart of the historic watchmaking region. We've built strong bonds with local artisans, aim to support the local economy and perpetuate traditional know-how

>Did W.O.E. pick it up at Khan el-Khalili Souk in Cairo to support a cover legend, or receive it as an honorary gift from a Middle Eastern intelligence service after an impactful operation? The truth is, it was purchased online. Amazon’s algorithm served it to me in early 2022, something that I even wrote an article about for Hodinkee. It is not a daring spy story, but it does say a lot about the state of technology and (commercial) surveillance. Amazon knew I would like this watch before I even knew it existed, and that is fascinating.

paying for a watch is like paying for sex.
you are not desirable if you have to pay..

>>18509601
The f91w is okay as a fashion accessory if you're into 80s and 90s stuff. It's an iconic watch and it can look cool in some outfits.
The real controversial opinion is there is not a single good Seiko. They're ugly as fuck, have terrible finishing, and the mechanical ones are regulated at -35/+45s a day.

>>18509730

>The real controversial opinion is there is not a single good Seiko. They're ugly as fuck, have terrible finishing, and the mechanical ones are regulated at -35/+45s a day.
I got myself a presage grasshopper a couple of weeks ago and I don't think it's bad for the money. The dial looks really nice and I haven't noticed it losing or gaining time so far. It feels a bit flimsy and lightweight compared to my carrera calibre 5 but that's several times more expensive so you'd expect that. For a dress watch it does the job well, it's a fun design that I can wear going drinking or on an afternoon out without worrying about having something worth a few grand on my wrist.
The main problem with the seiko is the bracelet, it's cheap uncomfortable shit.

It should be 8 or 9mm.

>>18510161
guess it looks thin but hovers 3mm above your wrist

>>18510161
Most of that width is the high dome on the crystal. It's probably about 8 or 9 mil excluding the crystal. And it wears really nice.

>>18508205
Found nothing good yet. King Seiko is too large, Longines Conquest has a bulbous bezel and is thick in general. Hamilton has something in this shape but it's too small. Then there's some no names. It's difficult to find something with the slightly reflective champagne dial, not as white as in my reference

>>18510165
>find a fault
>n-no, not that one

>>18510173
A domed crystal is just the identity the watch is going for. It's supposed to be invoking 1950s omega watches. It's literally just the 34mm seamaster scaled up to 37mm. If that kind of watch isn't your thing then obviously you're not going to like it, but if you like that aesthetic the crystal is part of that.

>>18510175
You forgot to mention the original one from 70 years ago was also thinner. I own a 1970s automatic Omega Geneve that's under 10mm thick, crystal included.

>>18510181
It's also probably 35mm diameter or less.

What an unbelievable mass of shit.

Back to work Ranjeet, it's rude to keep people on hold.

>>18510606
What are all the call centre people going to do now that there's AI?

>>18510608
Governments will either give people the money to live (with the blackmail of chip implant and total conformation to woke ideals) or suspend AI on world scale. There isn't a third option.

>>18510608
They are going to come here and shit up the board

its all i have

>>18510616
>They are going to come here and shit up the board
How the fuck are they supposed to live? I already can't live as a former graphic designer and animator.

>>18510622
You already got your answer.

>>18510621
It's all you need.

>>18510624
If you think anyone's going to give anyone anything for free in all the small poor countries in Eastern Europe I don't know what to tell you. Not to mention the actual HUGE poor countries that are sending millions to Europe right now. I already can't live and they're flooding my shitty EE country with Indians.

>>18510622
>I already can't live as a former graphic designer and animator.
I'm actually interested, tell me about it.

>>18510630
If that's what you believe, then AI will be suspended by law.

it's just shitters. all literal shitters.
why don't you own a single good watch?

>>18510635
What's there to say, there's literally no work to be found due to AI, never will be again, and I can't exactly just up and change my career in mid forties. There's nothing to change it to.

>>18510661
Why don't you speak to the government?

>>18510663
The same government importing hundreds of thousands of blacks and browns into a formerly 99% white country of only a few million?

>>18510668
You were born in that country. You have rights, and one of those rights is the right to work. "Muh subhumans" is an excuse not to move a finger.

>>18510672
>You have rights
No one has rights. Everyone has to fight for everything they get.

>>18510661
Well get into detail. Did you get fired? How did it happen? How long have you been working? How did they tell you the news? Etc.

Bro I'm 40 and I had to adapt too. Just acquire adjacent skills to the ones you already have.
People freak out too much about AI. Learn how to use it, get a set of skills, always adapt and you'll be fine.

>>18510712
I know how to use it? So do millions of other idiots? Is this a troll post? You sound like a dumb Youtube commenter.

>>18510714
Just integrate it into your workflow and increase your productivity, then you can upwork and FIRE.

>>18510712
People who do actual work aren't going to have anything to worry about as far as AI is concerned. As long as AI can't do things like turn wrenches and join pipes the working class is going to be fine.

>>18510714
>I know how to use it?
I bet you don't.
>>18510714
>So do millions of other idiots?
Very few people know how to properly prompt. That's actually a big problem for HR because millions of retards like you claim they do but they have no idea what they're doing.

You got fired because you weren't valuable. Simple as. Stop complaining like a 45 years old unmarried woman and get new skills, faggot.

>>18510720
>As long as AI can't do things like turn wrenches and join pipes the working class is going to be fine.
The working class will be rekt into oblivion. AI-powered robots are already there. They're building millions of them in China as we speak.
High IQ people will be just fine, as always.

>>18510724
Low IQ bros.... Our response?

>>18510727
Just buy crypto loser lmfao

>>18510724
A robot is not going to repipe your house, troubleshoot and repair your car or HVAC system, etc... You could build a machine that could do simple individual tasks like turning a bolt or welding/soldering one joint on a pipe, but you're not going to get a robot to travel on call and climb into an attic or crawl space or under your truck and find and do work on that shit. Same with autonomous freight driving, it sounds like a good idea in theory but the reality is the majority of the time truckers load and unload their own trucks so a person needs to be with the truck anyway. They may as well be driving it.

>>18510735
So they'll just build billions of empty houses with HVAC systems and garages filled with cars that no one drives, just so that people who have been fired from all other jobs have something to do?

>>18510737
I don't even understand the point you're trying to make. You think AI will create a world where we don't need buildings and infrastructure?

>>18510749
100 visual arts-related jobs exist
100 music-related jobs exist
200 HVAC and mechanic jobs exist

The first 200 are removed, now there's 400 people competing for the 200 HVAC and mechanics jobs.

How do you not see the issue.

I hate summer so fucking much

>>18510758
HVAC and and mechanic are just examples of trades. The point is a robot isn't going to be able to be adaptable enough to do troubleshooting and wide ranges of complex work in tight spaces or use judgment of space and purpose the way a person can. You can apply this to construction, welding, landscaping, boiler work, electrical work, masonry, cooking, and so on. This is all work that needs to be done, it's not going away. And there will still be administrative and clerical type work people will need to do, just in reduced numbers. There's no shortage of work society needs people to do. The only people severely effected by AI are exactly the people screeching about it online - hack writers, hack artists, and people who do customer service type bitch work.

>>18510764
Is this an AI response? Are you dumb?

>>18510557
What a strange shaped bezel. JLC has really always been out there, haven’t they?

>>18510768
Elaborate. Why is it dumb? If anything there's already not enough people doing this work. There's plenty to go around. I'm not going to cry for a bunch of listicle writers and HR writers who don't want to swing a hammer. They already should have been getting real jobs years ago.

>>18510784
What is your job, and the jobs of everyone in your family?

>>18510788
I don't see why that matters. Just answer the question, why is it dumb to think most work cannot be replaced with AI and machines?

>>18510799
Look up percentages of who's employed where and answer the question tard.

>>18510800
Not an answer to the question.

HOLLY SHIT WHO THE FUCK CARES THIS IS A WATCH THREAD YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS JUST GO TO TO /B/ OR WHATEVER TO DISCUSS YOUR AI BULLSHIT

The real question is will ai replace watchmakers?
>the answer is no

>>18510816
The answer is yes because 90% of the actual jobs that allow people to buy watches are 90% replaceable by AI. So you're only going to have rich heirs buying actual watches, and everyone else will buy Casios.

Chewsday innit?

>>18510819
What 90% of jobs? What is AI allegedly replacing?

I could really do without two dimwits arguing about AI will take muh job in a watch thread

>>18510820

>>18510824
Better leave then.

>>18510824
sure you could, you don't even have a job, niggerfaggot

>>18510819
Did AI make up this stat?

>>18510677
Then do not complain about robots stealing your job, find a piece of soil and grow your food, you fucking subhuman piece of retarded shit. Simple as.

show me a watch fully made by machines and I'll quit this "hobby"
system51 doesn't count coz it a shitter

>>18510837
Nearly all Rolex are entirely machine made. The only job still done by humans is the gem-setting for the ones with the diamonds in the bezel and stuff.

>>18510837
Even if the watch was totally made by machines people have to maintain the machines and the facilities the machines are in and ship the materials in and ship the watches to you. There's still human work done everywhere else in the process.

>>18510621
get a metal one and trow out that filthy nylon

>>18510837

Have a drink Hamibro, it's important to stay hydrated in the summer.

Great thread btw...

Went to a big family reunion and confirmed a suspicion Ive always had, fat people always have the best watches. I kneel to our bulbous lords.

>>18509596
I literally don't

Are Glycine watches good?

The moment this piece of shit goes under 6k eurobucks on Chrono24 I'm buying one.

>>18511268
They have a historically interesting model, the Airman. They’re not especially well-made but they’re not total junk.

If I saw someone wearing an Airman No.1 Purist model (the 36mm 2-hander) I would know that’s someone who knew a little something about watches.

>>18511268
>glycerine in the ass

>>18511268
Glycine is god tier

>>18511380
what about the combat classic moonphase?

I WANT SOME GLYCINE GLYCINE GLYCINE GLYCINE GLYCINE GLYCINE

>>18511517
No, that’s not one of their good models. Ugly and overpriced.

Don't mind me, just posting the best modern Rolex.

>>18511587
Where can i get one for $195?

>>18511591
You wouldn't have been able to afford one back then.

>>18511596
>The median income of all families in 1966 reached a new peak of $7,400
Nigger-shoecleaner could afford a rolex back then.

>>18511587
Too bad about the 19mm bracelet. I prefer my old 14270 with the 20mm bracelet and the classic lug profile. It gives the watch a better stance on the wrist.
I tried the new one out and it wears like a 34mm OP.

It makes sense that they would scale down the smaller one so women can wear it too, but the classic Explorer was so perfect.

>>18511626
The new bracelet is even better though. It's lighter and the taper makes it more comfortable. There's even less excuse to swap it out for a strap.
