>>718249110
No, my costumers' watches are actually a lot more expensive. Most of them are Rolex, which is in my opinion too mainstream. Not fond of Rolex style, I do like their movements though. The Zenith I posted is probably the most expensive one I own atm.
Here, last one I'm posting from my collection.

shit tier $10 watches parading as luxury
1st Datejust
>>718250783
>designer brands
They probably have a ~15 dollar quartz movement in them. I wouldn't recommend going for these types of brands. Try Tissot or Junghans. If you don't have that big of a budget, try Citizen or Seiko. Anything better than designer brands mate.
>>718250783
Instead of buying 3 of those dogshit watches spend the money on a brand like Omega, and if it's out of your budget, go for Seiko.
>>718243805

Absolute truth. Automatic or bust. Quartz watches that are over $100 are a damn joke
>>718251075
Nice, always fond of Rolex movements. Not so much the designs they go by though.
>>718251178
>and if it's out of your budget, go for Seiko.
Mah nigga. >>718251149
>>718251308
>Absolute truth. Automatic or bust.
Only downside is that Quartz movements keep time a lot better than Mechanical movements. Something like 0.25s a year? Compared to mechanical movements that mostly have a +-3 sec a day differential if properly adjusted.
>>718251149
>>718251075
Bah, fuck. My budget would be around $200 USD, what brand you think I should go for then?
>>718251569
Seiko probably has the widest range of choice for that price. Should definitely check it out.
>>718251340
i'm not anymore fond of the designs I chose for them. I am aiming towards this one now (not mine) and probably going to fuck off the other two. The movements are beautiful though, the watches are 40 years old and running like new
>>718251569
seiko
>>718251543
and your phone keeps better time than any wearable watch, and digitals do better than quartz. It doesn't matter. There's no beauty or complexity to it. And the fact that automatics are kinetic and the sweeping hand looks great is nice.
>>718251869
Awesome, thanks man. I really never got into understanding the value of watches. I had no idea that quartz was considered so terrible. I'll check them out right now for sure, thanks!
>>718243805
Watches? Lol. You know it's 2017, right?
>>718251898
Slick looking Rolex. Rolex are known for their calibre movements in the watchmakers world, not so much for the mainstream image they have among buyers.
And true, I love watches for their complexity and mechanisms. The sole reason I started watchmaking.
This is the watch I eventually want to go for, but atm a bit out of my price range as it's ~13k. Not on top of my priority list now.
Also looking for a nice minute repeater with moonphase and chronograph. My zenith was close to being that. too bad it doesn't have a minute repeater. Would have made it the perfect watch.
>>718252023
they're not terrible as long as you're not dropping over $100 on them. Those watches you own are $10 watches masquerading as $300+ watches. It basically looks like 'look what I can afford, but it's not much' as opposed to a seiko which is just a good, not show off watch. Then you have Omega, Rolex , Patek etc which are very good watches but they're also show offy.
>>718252023
>I had no idea that quartz was considered so terrible.
Quartz isn't so much terrible. It's mainly the fact that they sell a watch for 100-200 dollar/euro when the case itself is worth ~30 and the movement is worth ~15. You literally pay for the brand, not the quality.
Mechanical watches don't come by cheap. There are some exceptions. Gotta say that chinese mechanical movements are improving last few years. Take a look on Alibaba.

Nice one. There's a cashier in my supermarket who must be into watches too, and he has this exact combo iirc.
>>718246896
Very cool, all of them, no exception.
>>718248345
Good looking one. I'm a big fan of the Jaeger perpetual calendar that looks like it, I just look at it through the window.
>>718250783
The other posters are being too generous. The quartz movement is less than 1 euro, and the case/bracelet must be close to 1 euro too.
Since you're willing to put money into watches, and you like trendy designs, look at Tissot indeed.
>>718252768
Not my style as all, but the dial is cool. I'd actually wear one with the dial even more clustered, I saw a pic once, loved how over the top it was.

Thanks, my Zenith El Primero is my little baby.
Odd collection you got btw. A lot of different things going on.
Current daily wear.
Omega is on the cards though, always wanted one.
Bought the other day. Needed something easy to see in relative darkness. Cheap, seems like a good value.
>>718253403

>>718252706
That's not even good looking, it's just LOOK AT ME!!!!!1
A watch should be appreciated when it's noticed, it shouldn't scream for attention, because that's what niggers do.
>>718246896
Don't like the middle one tbh, the others are cool though. Gotta say though, you have the taste of my grandfather
>>718254038
>That's not even good looking
People buy watches for personal use, therefore personal preference is a huge thing.
>A watch should be appreciated when it's noticed
People appreciate watched for a lot of different things.
Some use it to survive, to dive, to simply keep time or if you are a watchmaker like me you do it for the complexity and movements.
As long you don't buy a designer brand watch with a quartz movement (actually quartz in general) you should be fine if you also got what you appreciate about watches.
>it shouldn't scream for attention, because that's what niggers do.

>>718253748
Originally I wanted one of each type (one digital, one diver, one swiss, etc, all the types you could think of).
What you see is the result of no money, mostly.
My end goal is to have 5 watches maximum, but that would last a lifetime and fit every situation.

My winding watch always gave me a headache it was always was too fast. I demagnitized it multiple times and it's still has the same issue. Quartz may not be as elegant but it works and works well

I paid like $600 mxn ($25 usd) 3 years ago. But here in mexico is a lot of money just for a watch. the price in our stores is about a $6000 mxn ($282.768 usd)
Do you have to have some sort of contact to buy a Rolex?
What if I want to buy a Rolex Presidential watch, do I just call them up and place an order or do I have to be selected or something like that?
How do you even know what the prices are for various watches from Rolex?

Please hang yourself, you clearly have no clue about whats on your wrist. Also the sizes of those things are an indication of shit watches. You should try to look on the inside of those watches and see how shit they are for yourself. You should consider yourself lucky if they didnt glue the whole thing shut.
Look at some proper watches, mechanical ones preferably. Seiko, Tissot, Maurice Lacroix etc..

Try looking for 'dress watches'. Those are mostly pretty stylish and minimalistic. It's not an excuse to roll with a shitty quartz one though. Try considering an upgrade. Maybe Cyma Cymaflex is something for you.
>>718243805
Why do you fags where watches when your phone can tell you what time it is?

I like mechanical watches. Especially if they're from a war. I'd like an A10, b-uhr, u-boot, type-a. Maybe a bit of these hugh end ones anon has one day when I stop being a neet. Currently own this. Not mine, its somewhere now and im in bed.
Its crap but i like the design and tribute
>>718257170
It's considered acceptable jewellery for men.
The watch won't die after 8 hours of usage.
It is slightly more convenient than pulling your phone from your pocket.
It gives you, or other people something to look at.

What you write homie
>>718258041
Right.
Come back when you gained a little bit more knowledge about watch movements. Keep paying ~250 for your G-Shocks. Production value of those watches are ~20. You pay for the fact that it's mainstream. People know about it, therefore are more willing to buy it because other people will recognize it. People like you rather walk in a shitty watch that everyone knows than a 10k watch that people wouldnt even glance at for one sec because they don't know the brand.
Insecurities much?
>pic related

Another pic I got of it. Pretty complex movement as it has a chronograph along with a moonphase dial, day/date/month dial and automatic rotor (which is obvious).

It can probably be fixed for less than 45, not sure as I cannot see if it's just pushpins or actually part of the case or if it's ceramic. Still though. Top fucking kek to whoever tried to scam you for a grand. Fucking lel.

Unique
>>718260543
Radio controlled movements and Atomic movements are better than Quartz at being precise when it comes to keeping time.
Mechanical movements are better than Quartz movements for retaining it's quality, reliability and value. If you take proper care for a mechanical watch, it will still run after 50 years. You probably won't even notice a difference.

Though expensive, Bovet make s beautiful "pocket" wristwatches. But yes, pocket watches are too hipster. Used to be fond of them untill I worked on a few. Very old movements, mostly not even that interesting. Most movements in pocket watchs are like ETA 6497's. Most basic you can go with mechanical watches.
If you like vintage watches, try looking for 50/60's watches. Mostly really nice. It's the overal inspiration for most modern watches.
