I'd recommend looking into watchmaking and how they're made before choosing, start with George Daniels and Roger W smith
Not quite Amazon
...
No worries about price, no budget really means no budget from him. I really do like that watch though.
note taken
>no budget
ali express
its cute when children think their parents are very very rich...
Currently have my eye on pic related

Oh fuck you're a lost cause.
I really appreciate how Daniels doens't really overdo the finishing on the movement. It demands enough respect already.
>Everyone suggests classy Rolexes and Speedmasters and respectable subtle watches
>Goes straight for the ROO
Just buy whatever you want, Sheikh Faisal Abdul bin-user
ew
You mean
>everyone shows me some watches but suggests I make my own decision and not Sup Forums do it for me
Wew.
The most impressive thing about this watch is the separate trains for each side. You can literally set the watch against itself.
Get the new minute repeater user, if budget is no worry. Of the royal oaks though, I tend to like the white dials the best.
Serious question. Honestly am curious. Are you an arab?
No. Death to non-whites.
or a homosexual?
Simple Seiko I picked up for $45.
...
This is on sale, what do you guys think of it?
na
lmao arabs are white tho. US census says so
curious, what turns you off about it? getting my first legit watch, so still kind of debating what watch to buy without selling an organ that is.
its brown. its big, its cheap, its quartz ... mostly though its brown
Hey you're the gold Luch guy aren't you.
FUCK ME I want to be a pocket watch maker but thats so AUTISTIC.
Yes I love thin little goldtone watches.
brown, shit subdial layout, eaten numerals
go that and never come back.
Horrible taste. Your dad is probably gonna disown you if you get that. Not only do common people not recognise it, it would make any watch guy barf on the spot.
THIS IS WHY people are telling you to wait untill you actually develop a taste for watches.
spare your dad and get a g-shock if this is what you like.
>Sup Forums tells me to do alot of research and develop an actual taste
>after 20 min choose the most horrible looking ROO out there
Just get off these threads forever please.

>mystic
>instinct
I knew i recognized that arm hair
Where can I find the best Perlon strap?
Eulit
german seller on ebay has eulits cheaper than amazon. other ebay seller has vintage ones that are more expensive but are fucking beautiful.
Thanks, fellas
Remember to post prime day deals here. Can you even get anything good off Amazon tho?
Who can i contact for plastic die work? I'm thinking of taking a Unitas pocket watch movement, disassembling it, and somehow reassembling it all spread out. I wonder if this is possible.
What is the point of bull bars on gshovks
making an ugly watch look worse

Well my casio ca53w will be in tomorrow. My fiance isn't going to leave me because i got it, right?
yeah, the US also had a nigger president
snk809
if you buy a quartz watch you are a certified faggot who only cares about fashion
are you ron jeremy? because that is literally a watch ron jeremy owns you disgusting faggot
Biggest shitter of the day?
Post your worst shitter.
Is that a fake micro rotor and tourbillon?
You bet your ass it is.
The bracelet works decently with a diver though.
Post your grails!
Is this still a thing?
...
What's the point of having a grail that you will never get let alone see in person? My life "grail" is being as rich as Bill Gates, that surely changes something
ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE (112) JEWELS
Been saving up for a SKX007 and I just found a shop yesterday where I can get a SRP777 for the same price. I'm undecided on which to get.
The SRP is miles better if you can pull of the bigger size, how much for it?
>better
>looks worse
???
Thanks for the thought, user. Price is a bit below $190. The shop was also offering the 007 for $150.
>that design
Hmm...
Yeah, dream small right?
>why do you like expensive cars so much? you'll never get one anyway
My grail is not gonna change unless i see something even more beautiful, but for now this is the prettiest watch in the world to me, even if i'll never get to see it.
Its no secret breguet was a huge inspiration for George Daniels and therefore R.W.Smith.
George even wrote a book called "the art of breguet"
so pretty
Someday
Just make sure to look carefully and check if the chapter ring is aligned and the bezel aligns.
just get the pepsi 009
Is it really a grail if it's readily available?
>Is it really a grail if it's readily available
>whats the point of having a grail that you will never get
Wtf are you guys on about? These things does not matter
Well, a grail is supposed to be like the Holy Grail... extremely rare and ultimately unobtainable
For most people having to spend 5 grand on a watch is not readily available
Yeah well 4k is alot to me.
Completely unobtainable to mortal man.
mine as well... being rich isn't even enough to get one.....:(
>getting a Seiko with a shit non-windable movement
kek, Citizen is where it is at.
It's impossible to order a new one, he's not making any more. But if you had the money a few have come up at auction.
I'd go for the 007 for sure, not Into the 777 case at all
>Quite like pic related
Have I gone crazy?
Yes.
The only Breitling you should consider is a vintage one.
too bad i don't have a quarter million dollars to spend on one atm... :( but until then foudroyante.com
just like the style of the numerals 2bh
proportions are all wrong
Breitling is alright. They use modified, COSC-certified ETA movements for the date complication watches and their finishing is pretty nice.
I actually like the Superocean overall, given that you buy used.
...
aesthetic af
>blatant monster rip-off
>without any of the charm
...
Breitling still being a fucking dumbass with those sizes huh
good buddy of mine has same size wrist as me (just over 7 inches) and wears a fucking navitimer..... you can't buy taste
yeah, apparently.
Which G-Shock / Casio watches does /wtg/ approve of?
Casio A168WA
Found these two while cleaning out the attic. Probably left by the previous owner. Seem legit, but are they even worth repairing?
>Seem legit, but are they even worth repairing?
lol no.
