I love Cartier.

>>18119533
They seem nice

New shitter. 41mm. Does it fit?

I like this one because it's shaped like a boob.

>>18119538
Buy a chair instead of wasting your money on ugly shitters.

I boughted

I just bought a speedy like 2 weeks ago and today found a retailer thats lost their longines partnership and is giving big discounts. Can get this legend diver 30% off which ends up being like $2250 and it's super tempting because it looked great in person. Probably shouldn't be buying another watch already though

>>18119533
>>18119535
I swear I only see DYER soi boys wear cartier IRL completely made me not want a cartier.

My RO

>>18119548
>DYER
Do you even Rick Owens ?

>>18119547
Did they "lose" the partnership, or are they just liquidating unsellable crap?

>>18119562
>We recently closed out of longines as of May 1st officially. I can give 30% off all (except 3) longines watches and 25% for spirit collection. Everything is brand new and warranty will be dated may 1st, because thats the last day we are authorized retailers. Some of the watches I can give 35% off, just ask.
Seems like they are no longer going to offer Longines so theyre just getting rid of them. If i hadnt just spent $7200 on this speedy it would be a no brainer but i havent even gotten the bracelet for this guy yet. Would be nice to have a nicer diver, the ones i have are just cheap beaters.

>>18119547
Paste this into Jomashop "LONGINES
Heritage Automatic Black Dial Men's Watch
Item No. L3.374.4.50."

$1,800

>>18119568
This isnt quite the same watch, the original picture is the L3.764.4.50.6.Also that band is worse than the jubilee bracelet.

>>18119574
Ah did not even notice that. I am not crazy about either of those but I happened to be on Joma searching Longines when I saw your post I am about to pull trigger on this guy I think

LONGINES
Heritage Automatic Black Dial Men's Watch
Item No. L2.822.4.56.9

>>18119540
noted, does it fit

i want a swatch bros

Lovely weather today lads

>>18119576
I wasnt familiar with >>18119547 until i was browsing in a store and pictures really dont do it justice. I've not seen a black dial that is such a deep inky black, one of the nicest jubilees ive seen too.

>>18119547
Is it a chronometer?

>>18119587
Do you have to unscrew the top crown every time to move around the timer? I use my diving watches everyday to time myself swimming and then in the sauna that would be so whack if you do I am also in the market for a black dial that heritage model really caught my eye

>>18119600
Yes, thats the (super)compressor style.

>>18119594
its cosc chronometer-certified but not sure

>>18119600
I have no idea. It wasnt really on my radar when i was in store a month or two ago just really liked it. Then saw the post about the sale on them all and figured id inquire what price theyd give it a look

>>18119587
>jubilees
Looks like a beads of rice bracelet to me.

>>18119583
Nice Seamaster Sir

>bittercelling in a watch thread
Lmfao kek keys do you even have any income bro lmfaooOoOO

>>18119609
Yeah youre right that is what it is, i thought that was a style of jubilee

>>18119610
I went and saw the Summer Blue Heritage SM. I surprised how much I wasnt amazed by it. I really enjoy the wavy dial, but it seems nice though!

>>18119538
Looks good anon.

>>18119613
I was not thrilled when I saw it in person either in the boutique but under natural light it is very impressive which is odd bc normally in the store everything looks so crisp and sort of a let down outside. If he had not let me go out of the store under some natural light for a minute I prob would have passed on it myself

Total. Whortadello. Death.

Why couldn’t they have just used the miyota 9075 instead of the seiko NH34. I love the dial but office gmt’s just aren’t as cool as true gmt’s

>>18119616
Hmm, I wonder if that was the case then. I wonder if the intense light just made everything seem to flat. If I go again, Ill take that into consideration. I was eyeing the green 38mm AT or the new green PO

>>18119620
Cost, or maybe they already had a bulk order purchased before the 9075 came out.

>>18119616
When I got mine I went to try on quite a few different watches but the moment I put it on I knew it was the one, the weight and proportions were perfect, three handed with a date, good brand, display caseback, nice bracelet, good legible colour scheme and hands. Ticked every box for me. It's a very nice watch, I'm very happy with mine.

I hate modern luxury sports watches. They look like toys.

>Mahk at LIW wants to sell college kids communist party themed watches

>>18119632

>>18119648
>>18119632
I do fuck with Omegas white dials I likely will get the Craig to wear at my wedding

>>18119651
I wasn't such a fan of the white dial speedmaster at first but it is growing on me. I just don't really like the speedmaster much, I don't like the weight or feel of it, nor the fact there's no date window, and I don't like omega's refusal to change or update anything about it, they are clutching at the past and "muh moonwatch" way too much. The speedmaster 57 with the burgundy dial though, now you're talking that is a fucking stunning watch and fixes all the problems I find with the speedmaster moonwatch.

>>18119660
>muh date window
Retard.

Is the 12 hour totalizer on a chronograph a game changer or is it sufficient to get a bicompax chrono?

>>18119660
Have you seen the new green constellation with meteorite dial? I am rocking with the one or the craig for the wedding

>>18119663
Some of us like to know what date it is nigger. Not all of us spend every day rotting in our parents basement making every day the same.

>>18119669
Just seen it, it is nice and interesting but personally I'm not a fan of the constellation I don't like the bezel.

>>18119672
>b-b-b-but I need to know the date!
Retard.

>>18119679
You don't need to know the date?

>>18119679
Yes, I need to make sure I don't miss your mother's fertile window.

I'm not a wristlet.

>>18119684
The Casio Mud line is the lifted diesel pickup truck little men try to use to compensate for other things.

>>18119544
Nice I did too. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait. Kind of an impulse buy for me was looking for a dress watch and decided to see if kurono had anything coming up and they had a watch in my favorite colors going up for preorder the next day it was like provenance.

>>18119680
If I need to check the date (which happens maybe 4 times a year top) then I check my phone or computer. Or I ask people around me.
I refuse to have A FUCKING HOLE on my watch just because sometimes I need to check the date.
>DURRRR BUT IT'S USEFUL FOR ME!
Aesthetic > functionality
Do you wear cargo shorts too you fucking slob? They're more useful than trousers right?

>>18119696
Why do you need a watch then? Just check your phone.

>>18119700
Because I check the time 10 times a day and I like how they look.

>>18119702
Perhaps I like how a date window looks? I forget the date and need to remind myself often and it's far easier to glance at my wrist than get my phone out. The speedy 57 is a much better looking watch than the moonwatch, and is more functional too.

Pocket watches are a sign of class and sophistication. You do own one right?

>>18119689
What if if I want a rugged and strong watch for my big wrist. Any watch I put on is getting tiny on me.

>>18119707
why not just get a Rolex?

>>18119689
Sounds big words from a impotent little dude

>>18119696
>If I need to check the date (which happens maybe 4 times a year top) then I check my phone or computer. Or I ask people around me.
You literally just defeated the purpose of wearing a watch at all beyond fashion. Literally, why bother with any complications? Why even bother setting your watch? Just wear a solid gold bracelet and check your phone.

>>18119709
the only thing that I owned is whoretadello

>>18119707
>Perhaps I like how a date window looks?
No you don't you fucking liar.
People like you want date windows on their watches because they feel like they have more bang for their bucks.
Let me guess, you also believe 4 Hz is better than 3 Hz right? Do you also wish the Speedmaster had 300m of water resistance? Gosh I hate retards like you. You're the reason modern watchmaking is so fucking awful.

>>18119710
No it isn't.

>>18119711
Because they are the watch for sleazy businessmen and not the image I want to portray of myself.

>>18119720
I work night shift and between going to work at night, the date changing in the middle of my shift, and sleeping during the day most days but having to switch back and forth between nocturnal and diurnal on my days off, I find it can be very easy to lose track of what the day and date is. So it's just so much easier to be able to quickly look at a day date watch to verify the date when I'm sorting out paperwork and trying to log or schedule stuff.

>>18119718
whortadello is my little sissy slave

>>18119726
Who is whordelo

>>18119684
can you wear a mudmaster on the first date? or is that too obvious?

>>18119737
Obviously, not. I use it for everyday field work.

On a date I'll use a black dial Orient or whatever with leather strap (have good results with a simple Timex with a green nato strap from various women, strangely I now).

>>18119721
Not rugged and it can't handle hard work or accidental heavy bangs. Anyways, enjoy paying for service on your fragile nice watch

>>18119721
I forget to say you don't have a big wrist, the watch is tiny and you are fat (and brown).

>>18119743
There's nothing that would make any modern Rolex not rugged. Certainly not any of the ones without twisting bezels, other than polished surfaces getting scuffed up nothing is going to break. You fan find people having trouble with their submariner bezels getting stuck or turning the wrong way or whatever, but there's nothing to fuck up on a Datejust or Explorer.

>>18119747
I have the Rolex explorer 40mm and I love it, but I really hate the scrubs and scratches, so I can't work with it. I use it occasionally though.

No one told me they released the PRX in pink :3

I'm living for it, sisters, fr

>>18119720
The date on the Lange 1 improves its look, check mate.

>>18119724
Rolex's are the best watches, what are you talking about? Have you not seen the guide? Arguing about what Omega you should buy when you could just buy a Rolex for the same amount of money is just baffling.

>>18119765
giggle, $500 for a quartz that isn't a chronometer when they sell quarts chronometers for that much, giggle.

>>18119720
>you also like x y and z things that I hate
Nice strawmanning. Very unhinged.

>>18119782
>quarts chronometers for that much
I'm intrigued. link to some? I thought Tissot discontinued the quartz PR100 chronometer.

Not many companies bother getting COSC certification for quartz except Breitling.

>>18119778
I never said they weren't. They just aren't the watch I want. Wearing a Rolex portrays a certain kind of image about your character that I don't want to be associated with.

>>18119720
It's not about bang for your buck. I just like having the date on my watch too, if a watch is going to tell me the time, I would like it to display the date as well. I don't really care for frequency, it depends on the model of watch and what its purpose is, but generally yeah higher frequency is preferable. The speedmaster doesn't need 300m of water resistance because that's not what it was built for, but it would be nice for it to have at least 100m for peace of mind.

>>18119776

>>18119826
Why do you think he's been so quiet?

Why do mechanical watch users buy less accurate watches?

Because they are cool.

Artistry.

>>18119850
"Why are silk suits more expensive than rayon suits?"

>>18119885
The question wasn't why they're more expensive.

is seiko high? wtf is this

>>18119894
Spring drive movement I guess. That is extortionate though.

>>18119894
I am lost in confusion after seeing this watch. I don't know what to feel. On one hand it's good news that they're bringing spring drive out to the regular Seiko lines. On the other hand it's an overpriced watch with a functionally worthless bezel

>>18119897
>>18119894
If Seiko just put out lower end just competently finished watches with no frills and spring drive movements for around $2000 or so they'd probably do really well. I say $2000 not really knowing what it actually costs to produce the movements and how much of the cost of Grand Seikos is just meticulously finishing every watch, but I understand they still want to keep the movements relatively exclusive.

>>18119900
Well it takes about 5 years of training before a grand Seiko employee can properly do the zaratsu polishing on watches that are sold to the public...

>>18119741
so if a mudmaster signals preference for anal, what vibe does the nato timex give off?

>>18119927
Wasn't it 2 years? Or maybe 3. Definitely not 5.
Also, Omega bros are taking over. We need to do something.

>>18119900
it's hand made so it's expensive

>>18119995
I googled and it said 5. I am an omega bro fren, sorry to let you down.

>>18119858

But how much of that is polishing and finishing for the exhibition case back? How much work is it to connect an electronic board to a rotor? I don't doubt it's a lot more work than an NH35, but is it 10 times more work? 100 times more work? 1000 times more?

>functionally worthless bezel
When will you people learn and acknowledge that with watches it's ALL about design?

>>18120047
You need to include research and development into it, it took them 30 years to make it work.

>>18120088
All of them

>>18120047
ultimately im never buying it. already overspend way too much on 2 presage shitters and I feel it's enough forever. it's all overprices scam all of it from lolex to casio.

>>18120097
Why didn't they design a useful bezel? Could have been a GMT bezel, could have been a timing bezel, could have been a slide rule bezel... Just about anything but a tachymeter bezel would have been more useful.

>>18120102
They've already been selling it in $10-30k watches almost 30 years, haven't they recouped their costs yet?

>>18119693

>>18120112
>haven't they recouped their costs yet?
They probably have, but this is the thing that is totally unique to them, so they have to milk it as much as they can. If they start putting them in 2k Seikos too much nobody would buy Grand Seikos anymore.

>>18120125
>nobody would buy Grand Seikos anymore

>>18120125
Considering there are probably hundreds of companies selling rolex clones for less than a tenth of the cost and yet people still buy rolex, we know this isn't the case.

>>18120279

Yes, but imagine you have autism and severe social anxiety. Now to-the-second accuracy will matter quite a bit because it will make you feel like you have some semblance of control over your life.

>>18120048
He doesn't actually think that, he NEEDS to think that [that's the case].
Think about it this way. You've been posting on /wt/ for many years, you've established a social circlejerk of people that, while not necessarily friends, you've come to know each other through your watches, the way they write out their thoughts etc. All is good in your hugbox.
And then a guy (me) with seikos show up, and completely runs the show. He's rich-er than you, he has touched a woman, or even worse, he actually has sex with them. He makes them pose with his Daily watches, but to you, said saily watches are your grail.
While you contemplate for years back and forth to buy a 900$ watch, he went and bought 2 watches worth more than your car, within 2 weeks.
He goes on vacation to Japan, he comes back, liked it so much there so he decides to permanently move there. Quits his job (in todays economy), and just goes and does it. Others need 5 years of meticulous calculations to move three blocks down, but he? He did it on a wimp.
In Japan, he does everything you wanted to do.
>"Maybe one day I will visit...!"
(For 10 days).
He got a girlfriend, moved in together- everything is going well.
Everytime he posts, the thread gets derailed and I don't even do anything besides posting my watches, and these pictures are sometimes accompanied with a female in them. It's enough to make you lose your shit because--
So what do you do? You make up stories.
It started with:
>Not even his watches
To
>he's bald
To
>he's fat
To
>he's a sex trafficker
To
>The police are chasing him
Etc. After posting his face/body, basically doxxing himself, all that suddenly changed.
>"Well okay he's not bald or fat, BUT he still needs to pay for sex!"
And now we are at
>"Paris syndrome will hit him soon"
Completely ignoring the number one factor as of why the Paris syndrome is a thing and that these "Factors" don't exist in Japan.
>Tl;dr
You NEED to make up headcanons or else HOW are you supposed to cope?

>>18120315
>Star Bar

>>18120315
When you're taking these wrist shots and concocting this coping self soothing gibberish, do you ever snap violently back to reality in the realization that you burned your own life down, there's nothing meaningful left in your existence, and at that exact moment and at all other times when she is not in your line of sight your girlfriend is sucking someone else's dick? Does it give you cold sweats? I honestly couldn't live with myself if I were in your position.

>>18120315
I agree the whoretadello hate is boring and overplayed. But if your life was actually good, you wouldn't have SO much to prove. You get clowned on, realise why, and accept it. It's not likely to change so just embrace it. Lashing out like you have so much to prove just makes you look insecure as fuck.

To summarize:

You showed up, started avatarfagging and expected everyone to like you. That clearly hasn't happened so now you just want to ruin the general.

>>18120335
In this generation? Definitely. The Pepsi's bezel is far too fragile, and there's way too many stories of them cracking. The jubilee is way bettet than PCL, and I'm not left handed, so the Sprite would look terrible.

Exactly this.
The other avatarfags like Mort and OmegaDrunk get some shit because this is still 4chan.
Whoretadello is different because he actually seems to expect that people will like his bullshit blogposting. So now he's mad and is trying to redefine his poor impulse control and chaotic life as some kind of flex.

Whatever, though. If he's not gonna, someone's got to take it to watches.

>>18120339
>My main hangup is the 32xx movement issue, but I'll sell if they haven't fixed it by the time my warranty is up
I feel the same way. The problem doesn't seem to be universal, and even if Rolex comes up with a fix, they'll just quietly do it at service time and never tell anyone, which is a little frustrating.

>>18120351
I do want a bit of color for the GMT, the old full black LN version aside.

It came out at a bad time, frankly. Everyone was expecting the coke.

>>18120354
The mental illness is just straight up apparent. Well-adjusted people don't act like that in any way.

Yup, agreed. The complete radio silence makes me extremely mistrustful.

>>18120335
Definitely of the ones currently in production.
The classic aluminum Pepsi bezel is still undefeated, though.

The ceramic Pepsi doesn't look right. The colors are slightly wrong.

Personally I've always preferred the Jubilee to the Oyster. It's much more comfortable than the Oyster and the current gen Jubilee should not have the tendency to stretch over time like the old ones did.

I prefer the Coke to the Pepsi, personally.

I think people just really got it in their heads that this was going to be the year that Rolex brought it back. Rolex hype and watch "journalism" is strange like that. One site will idly speculate or even just say they wish a certain model will come out, then the next site says it might come out, then the next site says it's probably coming out, then the first site sees all that "news" and writes a long post about how their wishes are coming true.

>>18120370
But that's the thing, you actually don't contribute to discussion, you post pictures of what you're doing with your watch as a signature so people know it's you. Hense avatar or signature use. Your posts are not about watches, they are about you.

Every post reveals something about the poster. For instance, you consistently reveal how someone else owning a Rolex makes you incredibly bitter.

I wonder if he tells his whore girlfriends that he's "kind of a big deal online." He has to test the waters and see if they're going to have a big head over being with a celebrity and blow his cover before he moves forward with them.

>>18120315
I've never heard someone who's supposedly so happy sound be angry he needs to ragepost while out on a Friday night.

>>18120379
I've never once posted anything remotely angry over someone having a rolex. Do not presume to know anything about strangers on the internet. Most of us don't trauma dump and blogpost to anonymous boards.

A bit cocky, but he's right.
Bittercel does nothing but moves goal posts and makes up shit in his head. A fine example why you shouldn't try to argue with a complete idiot.

>>18120371
What really got me about that whole thing is that Rolex was a let down because they didn't release anything new, meanwhile the black bay company released 4 more black bays and everyone went ape shit over them. They can't actually believe this horse shit they're spewing, can they? They have to be pretending to be retarded for clicks.

You're nothing more than the literal definition of useful idiots, a bunch of tasteless wannabe snobs, milking cows to your local ADs. If you had an inkling of self sense and the acumen to study horological history, appreciate & safeguard it like any watch connoisseur should, you would be wearing exclusively pocket watches. They were the man's choice before wrist watches and are a sign of actual heritage and class.
Pic related, my Swiss 14k slimline dress pocket watch, something you can't even dream of acquiring.

>>18120273
Honestly don't know. Ive never really tested it, but it has kept time consitently over multiple days so theres that. It's also from 1966 so I don't expect much. It needs to be serviced again. Something in the automatic is loose after I was wearing it during some hard activities. It like gets stuck randomly so the watch won't wind. Otherwise ir still works great. Last time I took it to get services the old Japanese guy at the place got really excited about it. Something about it being rare because the movement inside is colored gold and Seiko stopped doing that in the 60s. I'm going to take it back to the same place, I hope the guy still works there. It was last serviced like 5 years ago so.....
I also wana get a sapphire crystal for it. The generic crystal it has on it got scuffed pretty badly a while ago. Love this little Seiko though, wearing it to a wedding today

>>18120315
Wtf basado

>>18120403
I had a similar problem, one of the screws securing the movement to the case was replaced and didn't fit so the rotor would grind against the caseback. I doubt you'll be able to find a sapphire crystal for it, it's a pretty unique shape and it would cost a fortune to get one custom made. They replaced the crystal on mine when i last got it serviced for free and it's acrylic anyway, so the thing buffs out by itself basically through normal wear, you can also polish it yourself with a cloth and some Polywatch. Glad you enjoy it!

Well, I'm guessing he wasn't able to find image manipulation, lol

I do not understand the hype behind Credor. I get that there's good attention to detail and all but they just don't do much for me. For something so expensive there isn't a whole lot going on. For 50k I'd prefer a Lange.

>>18120554
>I do not understand the hype behind Credor.
Same.

For myself, I'd prefer a high end independent like a Moser, Journe, DeBethune, etc.
I wouldn't say I have a grail, though. I don't subscribe to the idea of a grail or end-game watch or anything like that. It just feels like trying to attach some emotional significance to a purchase in order to justify the expenditure.

mechanical watch enjoyers are like "uhhh let me pay thousands to have something less accurate than the clock on my microwave, just so I can see a ticking seconds hand"

>>18120354
yup agreed hes an annoying faggot. based 2 tone anon

>>18120569
Yeah I feel the same way about "grails". Not necessarily the endgame, but if I had to have a watch that is currently unattainable and what would be the first one I purchased if I had the funds, that's what I imagine a grail as. Realistically there are hundreds of different watches I could choose from.

>>18120587
Why do you think we care about the accuracy of timekeeping? I wear a mechanical watch because I appreciate what it is. Why do people still shoot on film? Why do people still listen to vinyl?

No he isn't.

He's completely unable to handle any banter and he also doesn't even pretend to talk about watches anymore. His pissy little tantrum ITT is why the majority of posters dislikes him. He just wants to blog and get attention. But he won't just get a tripcode, though, because he doesn't want to risk people filtering him.

are the mido president two tone watches fakes or real? The ones that look like the rolex daydates? You see them on ebay from Thailand for like $100

>>18120808
Paris Syndrome is a term for tourist disillusionment; when a visitor to a given place has spent considerable time putting that place up on a pedestal, they can quickly get disappointed to the point where psychiatric symptoms like anxiety, depression, and feelings of persecution can manifest.

The term was originally coined in the 1980s to describe how disappointed a some Japanese tourists are when they visit Paris, since Paris is very idealized in Japanese pop culture.
Nowadays it is more broadly used to describe being disappointed by any tourist destination that has been idealized.

A child visiting Disney World can be disappointed by the long lines, for example.
A person visiting Las Vegas, imaging it to be glamorous like in "Ocean's 11" is disappointed to find it's tacky and grimy.
A weeb visiting Japan discovers that catgirls aren't real and being into anime as an adult makes you just as much of a social outcast there as back home.

Anon is trying to take cope by saying that Paris Syndrome can ONLY happen to tourists in Paris.

>>18120775
Nobody is ever going to take you seriously with a pocket watch. There is no reason to own one. A wristwatch is superior in every single way, that is why they have been widely adopted. You're just trying to be different for the sake of it.

>where the fuck is my sissy slave whortadello???
Total. Whortadello. Enslavement.

>>18120826
I know all of this, I'm asking the retard saying Paris syndrome doesn't happen in japan to explain his retardation. I want him to internalize in his own mind why that is bullshit.

>>18120666
>is it me or is 38mm the perfect size? im tired of big watches

I think every watch design has a size that it works best at and trying to grow or shrink it typically spoils it.
Some watches are just meant to be big and some are meant to be small. Panerais look strange when they're scaled-down. The Speedmaster Pro is meant to be 42mm. The Explorer and Datejust look awful in when they're bigger than 36mm.

What I do appreciate is that more men are becoming more realistic about the sizes of watches that actually fit their wrist and are buying smaller watches as a result. (Which, in turn has more watchmakers putting out smaller models)

>>18120833
Ah, OK. I misunderstood your post. Sorry.

>>18120830
>>18120837
kek

>>18120834
I think the biggest factor in converting people over to smaller watches is just convincing someone who wears big watches to just try a nice small OP style watch daily for a week or two to get used to it and start to appreciate how much lighter and more comfortable smaller watches are. Certain watches are better at certain sizes, sure, but I think just saying that leads a lot of people to come to a conclusion of "well, I wear 42mm watches so I guess I just can't wear a 36mm datejust then because that's not my size." just looking at numbers on a spreadsheet and not giving them a real college try is how you get set in the "men's size/women's size" mindset.

Is the helium escape valve on the seamaster actually there to help validate your pronouns?

>>18120843
>convincing someone who wears big watches to just try
You're exactly right. I wore a 43mm Breitling for years, having convinced myself that it fit. (It did not.)
Then I got a chance to try a 38mm Blancpain Bathyscaphe back to back with the 43mm version (I wanted to see how the gray looked and they only had a blue one in 43mm) and I bought the 38mm on the spot.
It was like a light flipped on. It was so much lighter and thinner. It looked so much more proportional to my wrist. (6.75")

As another anon suggested, i put this on a black leather strap with a gold buckle

>>18120828
I'm 42 and I can say you’re wrong. How old are you? You may still have time not whoriing about others.

>>18120867
The issue in the modern context is we all have smartphones and they are literally better pocket watches in every way, so it makes no sense to have two things you pull out of your pocket to get the time when one only tells time and the other also tells the weather forecast and breaking news and plays cracked 16 bit video games. Why would you even waste your time and pocket space? Wristwatches at least allow you to quickly look at them without putzing around in your pockets.

>>18120334
anon it's black ppl

>>18120877
Yeah, it's black people's fault that entertainment media has pumped up French culture for 200 years so everyone going there expects beautiful charming high fashion people only to be hit by a wall of piss smell when they leave the airport and get yelled at by mean old hags wearing rags and hurried along by rude people bothered that you're in their way.

>>18120890
name 2 reasons to use a pocket watch over a wristwatch

>>18120897
Wearing a pocket watch is a nostalgic and stylish way to connect with the past while also making a statement about one's individuality. Firstly, a pocket watch is a tangible representation of a bygone era, evoking the elegance and sophistication of a time long past. It's a conversation starter, inviting people to ask about its history and significance, which can lead to meaningful connections and shared stories. Secondly, a pocket watch is a personal accessory that can be tailored to an individual's unique style and personality, whether it's a classic leather-bound case or a modern, avant-garde design. It's a way to express one's personality and add a touch of whimsy to their daily attire, making them stand out in a crowd while still being respectful of tradition.

>>18120905
bro just stick with the fedora LOL

Love me tsyosa, simple as.

>>18120905
A lot of things are nostalgic and connect to the past that just flat out are not as good as stuff we have now. It's just the truth
>BUT YOU WEAR MECHANICAL WATCHES
Yeah, but they're at least usable. Pocket timepieces are just one more thing to carry around in your pockets. It's a waste of space that can be used for much better things.

>>18120928
Don't you feel mogged by the newer small second and titanium ones?

>>18120937
black chapter ring = ugly
small seconds dial offset to the right.. why?

>>18120937
God, when will this integrated bracelet bullshit end? Even individual companies are making 2 or 3 or more different models of them now, when are people going to realize normal lugs are better and knock this shit off?

>>18120937
I prefer that bracelet but those dials are too fussy, I wanted something elegant and minimalist. Could you replace the strap with the one off that one though?

upgrade from the discontinued sarb033 in the same style? only thing I'm really seeing is an OP and not sure if I want to spend that much money

>>18120876
Name me the 2 last times someone asked you the weather forecast and breaking news and plays cracked 16 bit video games?

>>18120956
Why would anyone? They have smartphones too. They only ask the time (or date) if they see you have a wristwatch and you telling them will be faster than pulling their phone out of their pocket.

If they see you don't have a watch on, they won't ask you at all.

>>18120956
Why do you have to be asked? If it's useful to know you look it up.

>>18120738
This would look great if it wasn't a flying saucer.

>>18120956
Honestly the weather comes up all the time when I'm talking with my wife or coworkers. It's kind of a funny thing, when you're a kid you joke about how boring it is how much old people talk about the weather but when you get owner and you have to run a household and maintain your property it's amazing how much the weather dictates almost everything you need to do. It's actually so important.

>>18120972
why'd they kill the best size? you have to go 36 (too small) or 41 (too big)

Silly gold (tone) A168 is complete. I actually kinda like it, despite not really being into gold watches. I'm tempted to put together a couple of the more reasonable ones now.
