Japanese Watches Edition.

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.

>>18519270 (OP)
I like Japanese watches. I have owned many budget, luxury and vintage Japanese watches. Probably going to get a high end Swiss watch to scratch the itch

>>18519275
That dial looks excellent my friend.

Posting my Citizen The Citizen, Citizen-watch into the best thread.
This timepiece is widely regarded as the best watch ever made.

Hope you guys also have a fun Saturday. On my way home now, it was a long day.
On the wrist? My trusty Black Bay Ceramic, which is 41mm in diameter, 50mm LTL, 14.4mm thick; some might even call it a luxury watch fit for construction.
Oh, I failed to mention, It's also a master chronometer and the case is made from unscratchable ceramic. (2 years running, ZERO scratches).

>>18519275
> high end Swiss watch
Any considerations yet?

>>18519297
quartz bros be seething

What watch should I get to smash prime pajeeta (20 - 27 y.o.) pussy?
Price range 1 - 1500 €.

>>18519301
I posted in the other thread I was considering getting a Rolex Explorer 36mm, one of the current models.

But I thought maybe a 40mm Rolex Explorer II from around 2005-2007. But I’m not that sure about the bracelet, I prefer the clasp on that model with the ample holes for micro adjustment on the model, but don’t like the hollow centre links. I’m not that sold on the newer whizz
bang movement technology on newer Swiss watches. My experience with contemporary European engineering is $$$ to fix issues arising from form over function.

I’d get an Omega Speedmaster, but it’s hot as fuck where I live and the bracelet has some serious lack of micro adjustability.

>>18519324
>My experience with contemporary European engineering is $$$ to fix issues arising from form over function
That's why you get an old Panerai with a Unitas/6487/OP1 or 2.
>but it's not high end
You either have a movemetn that can actually be serviced without replacing half the components, or you get a high end caliber of Theseus.

>>18519324
What about JLC or IWC? The hometime is a great watch.

>>18519312
casio duro and buy her 1500€ worth of gifts over a span of 2 years, you will get pussy the entire time.

Alright, I will never post my watches on reddit, so i might as well post them here to get some validation by getting called a faggot and a shitter owner.

For context, i'm a wristlet and i live in Yurop, so anything over 38mm and anything too flashy was out of question.
Then i had other criterias including the slimness, the model history (incrementally refined by time, if it appeared in media or in historical events), if the design is truelly timeless (imagining myself in 30 years still wearing the watch), and being wearable for any occasion and with my clothes.
>Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical black pvd
It's my beater watch, i can wear it everywhere, i bike with it and travel with it, it's on an elastic strap, i don't feel it at all and often forget that i'm wearing it.
>Rolex Explorer 36
I thought it would be my "one and done" watch, but because of the time we live in, you can't wear a Rolex everywhere, so it's my daily winter watch that i wear with long sleeves and also my dressier watch. I never dreamed of that watch, it's just that i could afford it at the time and it's a no brainer, just perfect in every way, the bracelet is butter smooth.
>IWC pilot 36 Petit Prince
After i realized that i wouldn't wear the Explorer everywhere, i bought this one as my summer luxury watch. It's stealth enough and people don't really care. I tried different straps on it, the leather strap i didn't like, i tried a bonklip bracelet it almost fucked the watch, but the aviator rubber is just perfect for me (and the aviator shape respects the identity of the watch imo). Somehow, i like this one better than the Explorer right now.

3 watch collection is good for wearing and service rotation, i wish i was done here but i'm still looking at watches. I covered the bases but i may get something more fancy (teal IWC if it was smaller, pink watch, idk), or maybe i will get cured at some point.
If you see someone shilling IWC, you have one chance out of two that it's me.
Thoughts?

>>18519327
In my experience, JLC looks really underwhelming in person.
IWC gets called "boring" from renders and promo photos but JLC makes some truly lifeless dials.

>>18519327
JLC prices are sky high, can get decent deals used. I’ve thought about them, maybe a reverso, but I’d prefer a steel bracelet, the place I live is subtropical, so leather isn’t great for 6 months of the year.

Which is getting picking, but dropping heaps on a a watch, I’m being picky

>>18519324
Considering the watches you post (old Seiko, Credor), you don't seem to like bulky watches. So you won't like any modern Omega.

>>18519312
Most pajeetas you'll meet in the west have well off families back home and probably here too, so you're not going to impress her with a $1500 watch. So buy a casio and spend the rest on gymmaxxing and buying clothes that look good on you without looking tryhard.

I got this Omega Constellation watch from my grandfather. I'm not that knowledgeable about watches (or fashion for that matter) but I want to start wearing it and I had a couple questions. Is this a good choice for an everyday watch or should I only wear it around the office? I carry but I don't really want to invite trouble in my area lol. Also, should I change the strap to leather or any other material? I don't mind the more casual look of the textile strap but if there is something more tasteful I'll change to that.

Anyone know if its possible to change the battery yourself in these? Are they gas / oil filled or something? I wanna get one but I don't want a watch that has to be sent to a service centre for a battery change, so if its not possible I will get something else.

>>18519297
thats one ugly watch

>>18519332
>but because of the time we live in, you can't wear a Rolex everywhere
Just means your too poor.

>>18519368
Yeah, if you can affod a rolex why the fuck couldn't you wear it wherever? I saw a guy wearing a yellow gold daydate with shorts and a polo shirt and flip flops in the airport yesterday. Where are you going to wear a rolex that is less "appropriate?"

>>18519396
Try to wear your gold daydate in London, and please film it.

>>18519397
is that how andrew tate built his watch collection?

>>18519368
>>18519396
>Just means your too poor.
I am modest and i'm not sheltered, i like to be able to go everywhere and talk to people without a watch projecting "douchebag with money".
I could have bought a flutted bezel datejust, but i decided against it early because it wouldn't fit my life.
There's a gap between being an online LARPer thinking of a dream watch hypothetically (a Royal Oak or whatever) and actually wearing watches IRL.

>>18519332
Kinda boring

>>18519415
>without a watch projecting "douchebag with money".
Nobody's going to notice your 36 Explorer

>>18519397
This kind of shit is a non-issue unless you go out of your way to hang out at specific clubs in specific areas that are popular with unsavory people, there's no point in attacking a random rich guy in broad daylight surrounded by people when you can ambush him stumbling around drunk at 4 AM

>>18519430
That's why i chose it, and i love it, but even then i wouldn't wear it with short sleeves on a saturday night in any european city.

>>18519431
It does happen. Picrel is Amsterdam.

>>18519431
London, in broad daylight

>>18519449
London again, broad daylight. It's a daily occurence.

If your rich why you live in a shithole with blacks?

>>18519473
Those shitholes are London, Paris, Amsterdam, San Francisco, New York, do you avoid the whole West?

>>18519397
I make it a point not to visit the third world.

>>18519473
>shithole with blacks
I have bad news about every single European capital

>>18519475
Apparently as long as I don't visit the most "diverse" cities on earth I'm safe to wear whatever I like.

>>18519490
Why would you want to live in a capital?

>>18519475
Not the whole west, basically just those cities, unironically. My wife is from New York so we visit regularly, but when we do she literally wears dummy jewelry. Almost everywhere else we wander up and down the coast and the Midwest is fair game, we might each be carrying/wearing $20k worth of shit at any given time and nobody bothers us because we're sensible people who do sensible people things without drawing attention to ourselves.

>>18519426
Yeah, it's a classic staples collection, that's why i've been considering adding a fun one, so far i've considered:
-Kurono Toki
-Seiko Pepsi (the 38mm one)
-Zenith Chronomaster Revival (pricier on and also too bulky for me)
-Studio Underdog (but bulky too)
-The Rolex Domino copy from Vague Co
-Nivada F77 in smoke brown, for the 70s vibes
-...

>>18519475
>>18519490
Just live in the Swiss Alps or Singapore or Tokyo?

It just dawned on me; Tudor is actually better than Rolex.
Tudor is a master chronometer while Rolex is "superlative". What does that mean in practise? Rolex doesn't even do third party certification on them, instead they do their own testing and deem it "better".
I'm so glad I went with my BB54, after getting it, I don't even think about Rolex. In a world where Rolex screams status, Tudor whispers taste. A Rolex is the billboard of success, but Tudor? It’s the secret handshake of those who know better. You pay less, yet get a sibling forged in the same fires—Swiss precision, timeless design, and none of the "look-at-me" hysteria. A Tudor is a poet's watch; a Rolex, a salesman’s pitch. Why spend double to impress strangers when you could spend less and impress yourself?

>>18519507
>Switzerland
Zurich has entire streets full of african prostitutes its a hellhole

>Tokyo

5 times Tudor in your post and 7 times Rolex. You also thought enough about them to even write this.

First 2 watches in the collection how did I do?

Villains watch from die hard 2

>>18519646
Nice, they are different enough.
What will be the third one? White Seiko Speedtimer?

>>18519503
Im really digging the nivada grenchen f77 as well, thinking about getting one of those at some point, got this watch from them and its really grown on me.
>>18519646
Nice choices anon, really like the one on the right

>>18519270 (OP)

>JLC makes some truly lifeless dials.
You are very, very, very wrong.

Same can be said for Chopard.

>>18519448
It's one of the many things in my list of reasons that made me leave the west.
It's not only in big cities anymore. Mid-sized cities at around 300K population are also extremely unsafe.
You guys should research the gypsy problem in Duisburg.

It's not about
>"You should just avoid dangerous neighbourhoods"
It's about not having to do that, at all. And the percentage isn't 0 even if you avoid dangerous neighbourhoods/blocks or, in this case, entire cities.
If my chances of getting robbed are 1% or 20% every time I'm going outside, then it's not safe. No need to discuss.

>>18519729
How are other brands supposed to compete?

Once you've seen, worn, felt and owned a Credor, there's simply no going back.

>>18519646
Decent, decent. I would probably get the original alpinist instead but of course the X one isn't bad either.

>>18519741
I’d own one if there bracelets didn’t have half links for sizing instead of micro adjustments

Is this the browntard again, holy shit am I in the wrong thread.

>>18519760
It's a weird bridge period rn for GS/Credor where their new watches all have immensely better clasps with all of the complaints finally addressed. Including of course the micro adjustment complaints.
I wouldn't be surprised if the locomotive also gets one of those very nice clasps, but I also don't think it will happen because it wouldn't fit the design. Every new gs release has that though. I'd wait for next years locomotive model but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Get them while they're hot bros.
Got pic related back in 2023 for ¥300K
Now it sits proudly at ¥450K granted if you can even find one.
It's only a matter of time until X influencer does a thing on mechanical credors that currently range anywhere from $1500 to $5000--- After that, you can say bye bye to the affordable ones because people will find out.
You've been warned.

>>18519819
I only went once, it's not like Tokyo is close to me so that I can drop by anytime. It just looks so much better IRL, I was very surprised. They let me take a good look at it because I went wearing my GS and 2. the guy who sold me my credor 2 years ago was there and he remembered me.

might buy it after I get a decent stable job here. No plans as of right now.

Hello, watch experts. I have a 10-year-old Citizen watch that still works, but sometimes the hour hand gets stuck at 12 or 6. Where might the problem be, and do you think it can be repaired?

>>18520625
Huh, what, why?

>>18520840
Is it a Citizen, The Citizen, Citizen-watch for citizens?

>>18519728
You're never 100% safe, especially when you start looking at factors outside of crime.

>>18520871
If you're going to get a watch with numbers on the bezel at least get one with a turning bezel for timing stuff.

Why is the taste so bad on these threads ? Are american malls the peak of style for you guys ?

>ugly as Sinn
You have Breitling, Rolex, IWC and Tudor in this thread, just say that you can't afford them.

The Reddit "Intellectual Watch Enthusiast" List:
#1: Tissot
#2: Christpher Ward
#3: Sinn
#4: Moser

No matter what you have, these lukewarm soggy losers will insist their boat anchors are superior, for reasons you couldn't comprehend.

Well actually, let them explain, you see - the founder of Moser is a man named Mort Moser, and in 1534 he invented the crank wobble flippy flicker, an innovated new way for main spring power transfer without re-calibrating the tully toggle. Sadly, Mort died from AIDS before he saw any success with his patent - but 1000 years later, some Jewish investors bought (stole) the idea to make the Moser "Cruiser", a $15K 45mm 3 hand watch. Despite its overall aesthetics resembling a DHgate build-your-own-watch kit, the Moser "Cruiser" has gone on to become a major hit amongst pedophiles and image board lurkers - with its high MSRP and steep discounts, it makes for a great gas-light, implying wealth and taste above the lowly "mall" watches prefered by 90% of the world population. Truly unique and outstanding taste!

Not a good look.

>Breitling, Rolex, IWC and Tudor in this thread, just say that you can't afford them.
I don't need to be able to afford them to have a better looking watch than 90% of this thread when considering the style choices you guys make.

>>18521059
What the fuck kind of aesthetic opinion do you think you can have without being able to afford good looking watches? Your taste is shaped by your poverty, you are no person.

>>18521037
The picture made me laugh.

>>18521064
Taste is impossible to acquire, you either have it or you don't. Throwing money at expensive watches won't help.

You're just a basic bitch because you can't afford anything.
Once you've had a few watches that look basic (that the same old panda chrono), you appreciade those complication watches.

Probably something like this, who cares:

>>18521123
Once again you're mistaking expensiveness for tastefulness. Bringing money up in every post is vulgar. It goes together with a lack of style.

speaking of style, i just got my inheritance and want an iced out watch. which one do i buy?

>>18521135
What i'm saying is that you don't even envision owning those watches, so you dismiss them as something not for you.
We are dismissing your opinion because you don't have an acquired taste, as you didn't experience luxury watches.
It's like saying your Audi A4 is beautiful (your Sinn) but a Koenigsegg is ugly. It's your opinion based on your little bubble of only being able to own an audi A4.

This watch >>18519706 is beautiful, both the complications and the style that is reminiscent of Memphis Milano (minus colors) and other early 90s designs.

>>18521154
nta
nah that watch is lowkey ugly

>>18521156
It's not your taste, it's not ugly.

>>18521160
You’re right. It’s not ugly. It’s boring. So incredibly devoid of any creativity in terms of design that , by wearing it, you tell the world you spend your days terrified of experiencing an independent thought.

thoughts on this tudor for a guy? im looking for a white dial watch and im probably gonna get this one

>>18521180
This is the stupidest watch in existence. Why would you buy a tudor with non-in house movement?

In what bizaro world this >>18519706 is "devoid of creativity" but this >>18521009 is not, kek.
Go fuck yourself, swine.

>>18521180
It's the watch you buy went you can afford anything else from the brand, it's the entry level of Tudor.
Design wise, the dial texture and the choice of metals make it look outdated imo (like 2013 outdated). It's not a terrible watch but not a good one either.
I give it a 4.5/10.

obvious bait aside, how are there really people dumb enough to call automatic watches "tool watches"? a device with a task as simple as "tell the time" that needs constant servicing and fails if walk down stairs too fast is not utilitarian. like how stupid can you actually be?

>>18521315
Yes.

>>18521319
You're not into watches, fine, fuck off.
But if you are into watches, every single mm on the Explorer has been thought about and rigourously and incrementally tested since 1950.
The size, the color, the indices, the tapper of the bracelet, people, GENERATIONS of people, have thought about it over and over, more than some faggot on a board, in order to make it perfect. It's a watch to keep for your whole life.
This is what luxury and heritage is about.

>>18521328
it's kinda bulky and ugly though, but the "eh" kinda ugly and not the "ew" kind. rub the rolex label off and it'll be just another watch
>since 1950
imagine spending 75 years making a watch this mid lmao

>>18521321
It was utilitarian and a tool from 1950 to 2005 when people started to use their smartphones as watches.

>>18521331
>imagine spending 75 years making a watch this mid lmao
It's fashion proof, people could wear it in 1950s when they dressed like picrel, and in the 60s, and the 70s, 80s, 90s, and people can wear it now with current styles.
You can't say the same for most things you wear now.

it's not a jap exclusive, they were lying to you. there is no way that they'd make that boring white dial a "jap exclusive".

they may have meant that "the citizen" line is jap exclusive, which isnt even true anymore and you can get it worldwide

>>18521634
>The Citizen" is a brand that constantly challenges the ideal "accuracy", "quality", "design"
You’re right? Where is it written that a watch must be well-made or accurate or look good?

>a watch that is close to the life of the wearer
Right? If I were a fat grocery store clerk, I’d be intimidated by a watch that is too good, like it is too good for me. Thankfully Citizen is as comfortable with an existence of permanent mediocrity as its wearers are.

>>18521718
>Hay guise what's up it me i want to be epic guy with all the rarest gear that everyone is always talking about
Is this how you think? Do you actually want an expensive watch or do you want others to see that you have it? Life must be hard living with an underdeveloped niggerbrain that demands constant spending on pointless frivolities.

>>18521739
>all that rage over tongue-in-cheek criticism of your watch
You must be fun at parties

>>18521745
Wrong anon, anon. Also that's a really awesome canned insult, do you mind if I put that one up on urban dictionary?

>>18521745
nta but anon you're full on seething, why

>>18521745

Kek, intellectually raped.

Vintage Seiko 5 Automatic 7S36-8260 23 jewels
my gramps owned this

So much samefagging. I see /wt/ hasn’t fundamentally changed even after all the people who actually like watches left.

>>18521815
OK, thanks for sharing anon.

>>18521833
d-do you like it?

>>18521835
Not especially, but it’s nice that you have a family heirloom, regardless of its value.
So few posters here know who their fathers are.

>>18521835
Yes, it's a fine Seiko watch.

>>18521843
I'd never post my father's ''watches'' once I inherit them. He only owns chinese replicas. Only watch of his I'd post is his Orient that he doesn't even wear anymore

>>18521835
>>18521815
set it on the kanji date and weaboos will piss and shit their pants.

>>18521877
The numerals are actually in Arabic

>>18521880
I meant days of the week. If you meant something watch related I'm sorry. I don't understand much about watches

>>18521815
Did he carry it in his asshole through Vietnam lmfao retard what a fucking shitter. Imagine having a poor family.

>>18521907
Unlike yours - my gramps won the 'nam war cl:^)

The Citizen.

>>18521949
Speaking of a watch that looks like it’s spent time up someone’s asshole…

>>18521880
There's usually a double date wheel, one in english and one in kanji.

>>18521037
>lowly "mall" watches prefered by 90% of the world population.
My daily beater is a Lorus, I love it.

>>18521980
Yeah, mine is in English and Arabic

>>18519284
I was going to get this watch but the kofe time motherfucker ruined it for me.

I have never had a nice watch before and my girlfriend was sucked in by IG marketing, so she bought this watch for me as a present. I will wear it because I love her, but is this a decent watch or a scam that's going to break quickly?

Post your collection.

What do you do in this situation?

>>18521907
nigga go to the other watch thread if you hate shitters, it's a separate thread for people with exquisite taste like yourself

>>18522288
Seethe in rage and jealousy that he didn't slap my ass too.
Ask my gf for a comfort pegging session later in the night.

>>18522288

Flash him my f91w and tell him that it is HE who is mad. BIG MAD.

im going to post my watch into the watch thread and youll just have to deal with it.

>>18522450
Well?

>>18522288
invicta should make one of these out of solid gold and sell it for 30K to annoy watch snobs
there are a number of multimillionaires who'd buy one for the lols

got a vintage Seiko and I'm hit with buyer's remorse. It's in really good condition considering it's age, but it has the crown at 5 position. That is really annoying for setting the date. Great watch otherwise. Don't know if I should return it

>>18522732
Sorry pal, we’ve all been there. Tricked into buying a Japanese watch. If you can return it at no cost, consider yourself lucky, you got to learn that lesson for free.

>>18522732
you said it yourself, you have buyers remorse, get a refund.

>>18522732
>but it has the crown at 5 position. That is really annoying for setting the date
You're supposed to take your watch off when setting the date and time.

>>18522768
Yeah, who would be so stupid to keep the watch on....

Why do skeleton watches get hate? Ive been wanting to get this one. A simple miyota movement. dark in the background with bright hands so you can read it easily unlike other skeletons. c'mon, validate my opinions so i can get it

>>18522913

>>18522913
Because think about it - who the fuck are they for?

>>18522913
They are gaudy and more like novelty items.
Luxury is about being proper and measured, that's why full gold and diamond watches get hate too.

GS on the wrist
LV on the feet
Good morning.

where's the discord?

>>18522768
I always take it off anyways. On this one it's rather annoying to reach and manipulate. With my newer Seiko 5 it's not as difficult.

Kofe time.

Black or brown leather strap, which is more versatile?

>>18523064
Based.

>>18523067
Obviously black dude. Or I guess it depends on what you wear. Your clothes' color I mean.

>>18523047
Try the setting the date on the first gen Tsuyosa. You become the beta tester.

>>18522913
Because skeleton has been a way for mid-level brands to "look high end" to people who don't know any better.
Get an ETA, hollow out the bridges by machine.
Put the hands back on with no regard for contrast and legibility.
Boom, plebs now think it's some kind of impressive watch because "woah you can see everything it looks so precise and detailes it's like lace but made out of metal"
Open heart in particular since Seiko, Miyota, ETA and (iirc) Selitta offer ready made open heart movements.

>>18523026
It's been closed off ever since you know who started his utopistic horologist commune in Japan. It's invite only, but the invites these days are extremely rare.

I hope you don't put sugar in your coffe at least.

I'm going to japan soon, Tokyo and Kyoto to be exact. I need a watch and am looking to spent 50-100 bucks as I've heard japan is cheap with the yen being so weak.
Do you guys have any recommendations for stores/brands?

>>18523257
Do not buy a japanese watch.
You WILL be mocked.
You WILL deserve it.

>>18523257
>I need a watch and am looking to spent 50-100 bucks
eh, just don't then. you need to x10 or x10 to get a decent watch.
Not even the cliché KUOE (that are shit) are under $100.
$50 is fridge magnet money, you cheapo.

>>18523153
Tissot should remove the "1853".
I hate when brands do that, no one cares when they were founded.

>>18523195
Me too, lil niglet, me too...

>>18523280
well duh I'm a cheapo I'm tactically going to japan. is KUOE any good? I could go above my budget I just want a watch for life
>>18523273
what else? Aliexpress is my only other option..

>>18523257
Get in touch with zach. He can help

>>18523315

>>18523345
>small, thin, no complications

>>18523257

>>18523320
>>18523349
He lives in Japan, been years. Knows the ins and outs of thrift stores. Afaik he post here sometimes. He got a vintage king seiko and some credors

>>18523345
>dress watch
You wear it when you're also wearing a dress
>field watch
You wear it if you're really into drinking corn syrup
>pilot watch
You wear it when grinding on War Thunder
>trek watch
You wear it when you're bald and wear red often

>>18522761
I'm keeping it now, kek.

>>18523307
>is KUOE any good?
no, it's not a good brand even for a microbrand.
It's thick as fuck and there are QC problem.
It's just over hyped because the shop is in Kyoto and every faggot and their mid gf go there.

Which one is the kinoer?
