>>18507048I'm over watches as well, when I get an endgame swiss watch (something like JLC or Panerai), I'll stop caring whatsoever
>>18507048That's great news anon, that means you can leave these threads forever. See you tomorrow.
>>18507100>JLC or PaneraiBuy an ad, Richemont.

>>18507108The Pasha has always been ugly.
It's one of many Genta's shitty designs.
>>18507108Looks better than any Soiko or Shitizen
>>18507108I'm sure it's a nice watch but it looks a bit 'messy'.
I prefer the cleaner lines of my CW 12.
>>18507108>>18507116Cartier 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they’ll make plenty of watches with a timeless design, but plenty more that are cool for their era and look horribly outdated afterwards.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.

>>18507258An OP is not an Explorer or a DJ.
OP are wagie zombies watches, it's not for "rockstars".
>>18507273Why 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.
>>18507273I 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 watchIn the real world, they serve the same purpose and are worn by the same type of people.
>>18507108I like the dial aside from the location of the cyclops, same with this one. Case needs a reworking though

>>18507437> This is cartier's answer to the explorer 2?Not really. Cartier didn’t make a real sports watch until the Calibre de Cartier Diver, which was underrated but still pretty ugly.

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".
>>18507985pic 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?
How many watches do you guys have? My second one is coming today.
>>18507985It's a good brand but mostly sold in LatAm and Asia
>>18507985Mido 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.
>>18508058Also 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
>>18508154Same, if you're getting an entry-level swiss watch, better get a Hamilton, Zodiac or Alpina, they at least have some character

What is the best looking watch thats fairly cheap ($100 or less)
>>18508572seiko quartz but is 130ish from jomashop
casio a158 / a159 is cheap and people like it more than normal watches
>>18508572Do 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.
rec me a good seiko wrist watch for under 100 doller guys
>>18508214Nice 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)))

>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
>>18508732Rolex, Cartier, Patek, AP : iOS
Breitling, Omega, IWC, Vacheron : Android
Grand Seiko : Ubuntu Touch
>>18508718Save 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.

>>18508875>costs $80k>34mmlol
>>18508886The 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.
>>18508894Then don't do it by hand retards? Why the fuck would I finance some mountain jew who gets like $20k/month?
>>18508906Some 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!
>>18508907Answer the question moron. A guy who does the same thing in India gets $20/month. Why would I finance the $20k/month one?
>>18508906Why 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.

>>18508724>got busted by Perezcope for forging a fake "unique" Rolex that sold at auctions for $6 millionsBased
>>18508943Now 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.
>>18508954There'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.

• 12 Mirage Prussian blue per year.
• 12 Mirage Sienna per year.
>The global quantity won’t change (240 pieces in this case)
>If this is the first time you are hearing about the Arabic Seiko, you are probably wondering how a former CIA Case Officer came across this unique timepiece.
>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.
>>18508985Which is relevant how? Dude it's not shameful to reread a few times if you have reading issues.

you are not desirable if you have to pay..
