What kind of strap would you put on this?
>inb4 don't buy it, too late now buddy

>>11849725
Grey canvas nato strap.
Btw it's a great Choice m8, the coaxial hate meme is a nonsense imo.
Assuming it's a preowned watch, would you mind telling me how much you got it for? I've been eyeing one going for 1500€ right now in a really decent condition.

>>11849770
Nah it's a new one. Best option for you is just going on Jomashop or something, unless you wanna do it traditionally and go to an AD. Thanks for the rec too

>>11854295
Obama had a 1500 "professional" (watchspeak for quartz).

>>11854640
well if you're looking for gold, do you mean gold plated or solid? Honestly wearing something gold plated seems a little tacky to me because real gold is so much more expensive that it is almost like buying fake name brand clothes to me.

>>11854632
Is that the Sumo? I always thought those were pretty dope for a Seiko. I would say it's a perfectly functional (if not a little expensive) work watch.

>>11854502

IWC's are £4000 minimum, I think that's a bit out of my range.

the clear case back is good enough for seeing the mechanical movement IMO unless you're getting into Zeniths and beyond

You can get lots of top notch fliegers for way less than the B&R. The B&R is way overpriced for what it really is(movt, materials, etc), and also it's french.

it's the style of a tool or gadget rather than something substantial and fancy.

watches are usually better when they are jewelry and not non-aesthetical function over form tools.

Think twice, fampai.

Also, buy the springbar tool, it's a $2-$4 dollar solid investment. The small screwdiver technique is faulty, with the springbar tool you can change it easier and safer for your watch.

>>11857100
In my faggot opinion:

silver case + black leather + white dial = Black / White tie Formal

silver case + brown / tan leather + white dial = Casual but still a little formal.

Lorus are Seiko's poorfag daughter brand and are basically one tier below Pulsar but not exactly worse quality wise. they are amazing though because most of them literally have 100m WR and you get much watch for very little money. not even Casio gives you that much value for buying their cheap watches since Lorus always tend to have more features.

can recommend to poorfags.

Well, I'd would say go for a hadley roma but you don't want to spend more than $30, so better just look for something you like at your favorite online store, be amazon, ebay, aliexpress, etc... Same for the springbar tool. Also, avoid the panerai buckle only if you are getting either a panerai or a huge douchbag wrist-watch, that buckle is the equivalent of wife-beater undershirts.

Visiting your local jeweler/horologist is way better, I live in a mid-sized city and the local watch guys not only do repairs, they have a long selection of straps and watch tools to sell, also you can make lots of watch small talk with them and have both a good time.

The stuck up kiddy bitches won't like the watch, but any watch collector that can get over the stigmatized Invicta name will love it, or does love it.

Yes. Usually there are obscure vintage pieces with notable movements. Many collectors have older Longines for example even though the modern brand is no longer special. Invicta offers nothing as far as I can tell apart from being a footnote in watch history for poor taste pieces.

I don't complain about Invicta, however I don't tell people that they're "incredible watches", and dismiss the "kiddy bitches" if they disagree. It's a cheap sub homage, nothing more. If your standards are that low I would recommend Seiko, their watches have a degree of originality.

I don't get the point in laco or these other brands who were once actual watch makers and are now just a company using an old name

>>11863900
$$$
it's hard to stay relevant if you haven't been in the game continuously for a long period unless you have world-class watchmakers at your disposal

>>11858667
christ that sub is beyond fake

>>11863980
What I mean is why even buy them, almost invicta tier except nowhere near as shit with those prices
Now if someone can tell me the model of this Casio

>What I mean is why even buy them

look though this thread, many people want the meme brands because they're different or emulate the look of a more established brand. They don't care about the movement or any of the actual details

>>11864249
You can buy inexpensive that are not like that ie Seiko, Orient etc
Spending several hundreds on a watch that Daniel Wellington, skagen tier except they have automatic movements and cost a looot more
I really like how some skagen look but they're not worth more than $30

Double dubs

I do have critique on the watch. As I said, it's just a sub homage. The design isn't original. I'm not trying to be condescending, you just keep repeating that it's "incredible" when it does literally nothing new.

Where do you even buy a Hamilton intra matic for a good price brand new?
Don't trust places like jomashop

>>11864324
Consider that there are people on /fa/ that have spent hundreds of dollars on a $5-$10 quartz movement and a $25 strap and a cheap steel case.

Ok bud

best womens watch for under a thousand bucks?
asking for a friend.

>>11866090
Seiko is cool, and I think that model is going up in value, so you can resell it with profit.

>>11866135
It's the re-release one with only 2000 made or some shit, hope its does go up in value.
