If you have a picture of your watch being worn from a straight on angle, please feel free to post it along with your wrist size, diameter of the watch and lug-to-lug of the watch. Because it comes up so frequently I'll try and compile a small collection of images of wrist-size and lug-to-lug length combinations that can be used for reference, rather than simply telling people that they should be looking at smaller watches.

If you're not sure how to measure your wrist, you can take a flexible tape measure, or just use a piece of string and wrap it around your wrist, then measure the length of the string required to circle your wrist.

Wrist size should be in inches, lug-to-lug and diameter should be in mm.

Thanks.

The rolex is only 34mm, but I like the green color fämälämäzoids

Would have to try in person, at least it has eternal resale value, or does it? Chrono24 is loaded with rolexes from every decade, all cost money. Anyone buying?

I like small watches, but 34 is really small.
This and the Black Bay are very different propositions, so it's hard to say one is better than the other.

About fake Rolex watches...

>>58634698
>why do you assume this?
>everyone's heard of Rolex, but most people who aren't into watches are not really aware of fakes.
I do not assume but you do not have to trust med. Simply search the net for, say, "number one fake watch" and look over the results. Also on WIki:
>Rolex counterfeits are illegally manufactured replicas of Rolex watches. Rolex watches have often been more susceptible to counterfeiting compared to other luxury watches, due their brand enjoying the highest worldwide awareness and ubiquity of their design trademarks (for instance, the Rolex Submariner has inspired plenty of imitations from both higher-end and lower-end legitimate watch makers).

>>58634937
>If you're entire social are plebs.
Quite to the contrary. As a patent attorney I get to hear quite a lot about it, though I do not work on such matter myself and also obviously cannot use replicas myself.

Dude asks if your rolex is fake, you answer no, it's real. His face? Priceless.

>>58635285
If your wrist is sub 7 inches (but imo even above that), then 34 mm can be totally fine. Especially with the new jumbo cases which make them seem way larger. Men's watches used to be 30-35 mm for the longest time; and the 34 mm air king was worn by RAF pilots etc., pretty cool history. Today's huge men's watch sizes are a dying fad.

That's going to depend on dial, index and hand design. Also, larger cases don't always mean proportionately larger dials.

SKX dial is 28.5mm for a 42mm watch. That's .5mm bigger than a 36mm datejust dial.

So guys; Seiko SBDC039 (Transocean) or Tudor Pelagos LHD?

Seiko:
+ 3k cheaper
+ less boring to look at (dial texture, polished surfaces, design, etc.)

- low-brow movement
- not as prestigious

Pelagos:
+ better movement
+ more prestigious
+ a bit higher quality (fit&finish, titanium, etc.)

- more boring in certain ways (matte everything)
- four times as expensive

>>58644633
A close-up of the dials.

Seems to me like the Seiko would be more interesting to look at, because that textured dial always looks different depending on the conditions. And also the polished surfaces everywhere.

>>58644633
If you can accept the lugs on the trannyocean then you should go for it. I know those are a deal breaker for me, but the watch looks very good. I would go with an MM300 or the(/a?) spring drive diver personally.

>>58643546
Lots of marketing

>>58645001

>>58645001
No.

>>58636274

>>58644633
Gotta remember, the Transocean is 44mm.
Plegaos is 42mm, which makes all the difference, seen as 42mm looks off on most people to begin with.

>>58645203
Well actually, the bezel diameter for the Seiko is 43mm, just 1mm wider than the Pelagos.
The actual case of the Seiko is 44 or something, but that's hidden behind the bezel, which visually defines the diameter of the watch.

The Seiko is also a bit thinner than the Pelagos, and a lot less blocky.

>>58645303
I think you'd be best trying on both if possible. Check Tudor's site for dealers, and see if there's one near you, that way you can see how the Pelagos feels on your wrist.

I think you'd be happier with the Pelagos in the long run. Even then if you decide a few years later to grab a transocean, it's a minor investment compared to getting a pelagos later on.

>>58645329
>I think you'd be happier with the Pelagos in the long run.
For some reason I think so too.

It's more muted and matte, but also more subtle yet still distinctive.

I'm looking for a smaller watch, preferably 36 or 34mm, with a simple dial.

So far the one watch that fits my criteria is a vintage oysterdate, from the 70s or 80s, I think, like pic related.

They're around 1000$ these days I think.

I haven't actually done any in depth research about buying old relexes so can you give me a few pointers, such as what to look for or what to avoid?

If you're looking at vintage, there's so many options it's not even funny. Just try searching any old American brands. Bulova, Hamilton, Benrus, Elgin. You can also search vintage Seiko or Swiss brands.

This is 34.5mm advertised on chono24. Just a simple 3hander with alarm function.

Which is worse guys:

1) "the collector"
>always buying new watches to get that passing honeymoon buzz and fill that gaping void with shiny inanimate objects
>can't part with any of them, and they rot away in his closet

2) "the flipper"
>always buying new watches to get that passing honeymoon buzz and fill that gaping void with shiny inanimate objects
>constantly selling off his watches after a few months

Sure, the flipper gives his watches a chance at another life with someone else, but for some reason the flipper strikes me as the more mentally unsound of the two.
Or simply the poorer of the two, putting him in the "30k millionaire" faggot bracket.

It goes without saying that anyone owning more than 2-3 watches (dresser, beater, super beater) is a faggot, no matter how rich he is.

>>58645437
there's nothing wrong with that second thing, that's just someone who wants to experience different watches without hoarding, while also getting some money back
"collector" is more likely to be poor if you ask me

>>58644633
I'd go with the Pelagos. I like it's understated look and it doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME AND MY EXPENSIVE WATCH". Plus the movement is significantly better. Just by a cursory glance between the two you can see that the Tudor movement is Rolex-tier in quality as it has a free-sprung balance, a balance bridge instead of a cock like the Seiko, and a Breguet-style overcoil, all of which are high end horological shit that's hardly ever seen (if at all) on anything less than $5000. This is all further reinforced by the Pelagos being a certified chronometer which is a huge bonus considering it's price.

Even in general the Pelagos is a very unique watch that does it's own thing both within the Rolex family and even compared to every other diver on the market. The Seiko is generic as fuck and the designers took no risk in their creation whatsoever.

Plus I honestly think the Pelagos is going to be a huge collector's watch as Rolex has been making Tudor an actually interesting and unique watch company for the first time in their history (even Hans Wilsdorf didn't do shit with Tudor).

>>58647103
The Pelagos also has a silicon balance spring.

>The Seiko is generic as fuck and the designers took no risk in their creation whatsoever.
I wouldn't say that; the design is pretty out of the ordinary with those "lugs" and that bezel that's entirely made of ceramics.

I do like that the Tudor is low-key. Especially the LHD.

If you mean what I think about them aesthetically, then yeah, leather straps are cool, mostly brown/camel colors, just avoid black and anything dark which doesn't work too well with the already black dial. Also I like grey/foliage/green NATOs, also anything dark with colored lines.

Now if you mean what the autists in here think about it:
>leather strap
>sea water
As if anyone seriously dives with >$50 watch. Like that retard the other day that got angry when I mentioned swapping the bezel for a smooth one, threatening me to replace the dial for one that doesn't mention "DIVER'S" because it wouldn't be a certified diving instrument anymore.

>>58647616
Yes I'm sure it wouldn't be retards arguing about the usefulness of mechanical diving watches
What could possibly go wrong

>>58647639

>I haven't actually done any in depth research

Stop. If you are not willing to do enough in depth research about a particular vintage watch to become knowledgeable enough to determine for yourself its condition and originality then you have no business buying vintage watches and will almost certainly get scammed.

>>58647796
>that's neat. I kinda have more respect for them now.

Yeah. They're the most respectable of the ETA "shitter" watch category.

>Privately owned
>Actually invest in R&D and make cool shit like divers with depth gauges, pilots watches with altimeters, etc.
>Original, fairly conservative designs (no tasteless copying of Rolex or other brands)
>Marketing that doesn't border on fraud unlike literally everything else in their price range
>Actually nice build quality
>Doesn't make trillions of """"limited editions"""" and the ones they do make are actually thoughtful and nice

Honestly if they go with dumped ETA movements and went in-house I would buy one in a heartbeat. Their pilot watches are beautiful.

Judging by the picture alone, I'd say go for it. Just make sure it's actually 50% off, and not just full price with the shop claiming it usually costs more.
