Don't buy Jaeger. Their watches have become so uninspired. They are now just another mass-production factory churning out boring watches in the thousands.

>>12197347
hmmm I'd maybe agree with you if you're planning to buy a simple dress watch like pictured, then I'd go for vacheron or breguet personally. but in terms of a watch with fantastic quality complications, JLC is undoubtedly the best value for money

>>12197386
Value-for-money is not something I consider when looking at watches in that price category.

Breguet and Vacheron are both being put to shame with regards to craftsmanship when compared to Urban Jürgensen. Take Breguet for example, their guilloche dials are made of gold, and then plated in silver, as gold is soft and cheaper to use for that kind of dial. But this results in a lower-quality guilloche pattern as the grooves are not as sharp and clean. If you want excellence, solid silver is the way to go. But Breguet cheat.

Another example is the moon-phase disc. Vacheron just paint theirs, like most others. Urban Jürgensen thermally blue their discs, and the moons are press-fitted into them by hand, and the stars are made of gold dust which is sprinkled in and then melted.

Nobody in the mainstream watch industry does the kind of work that UJ does. Not Patek, not Vacheron, no Breguet, not Jaeger, not anyone.

Perhaps not what YOU look for but the difference between an £8000 watch and a £15000 watch makes a huge difference for most people

If he's looking at JLC, he is most likely wanting to be price-conscious about his purchase, as well he should

Hahaha stop trying to force your purchase on other people. The majority of what makes a watch is what's inside, not how many fairies rubbed their cunts on the dial

hey /fa/, stylish /k/ommando here, I've got some nice luxury watches but im looking for a luxury smart watch with a classic style and im looking in the 800 to 1500 range, though i could go higher.

id like to find everthing i want in one watch, but it doesnt seem that you can get good memory battery life and apps in a package that also includes gps/glonass

im thinking about getting 2 watches to compensate for that, but really want opinions, maybe something that im missing.

watches im considering:

garmin fenix chronos with leather band

samsung gear 3

tag hauer connected

Dude, $25 for a nice looking watch that will work forever, reasonable styling, goes with most clothing styles, and subtle enough that people like it but aren't enamored by it.

I think a few of these $500+ watches look decent, but the value just isn't there for me. I own an expensive watch, and want a Hamilton, but the $25 Casios and $30 Timexes will always see more wear time.

>calling the dial a face

So I'm buying a motorcycle, its old and has analog dials. I'd kinda like to strap a watch to the bars so I know what time it is. Ideally I'd like to leave it outside 24/7, be able to withstand the shocks of riding a bike, and be cheap enough so that if someone were to actually steal a watch I won't lose my shit over it.

So far all I'm finding is a Casio F91-1 that would fit this bill. Any alternatives?

Get the cheapest G-Shock possible. The cheaper it looks, the better. Make sure it has a positive screen so it's easier to read. If you duct-tape it to the bars or find some other way of securing it, thieves will probably not bother, and if they do, it'll take a while to remove the tape, increasing their chances of being caught.

>>12204789
Which motorcycle?

Also, if you want to fit the analogue theme lots of companies make handlebar clocks, just go on ebay - the cheap ones go for $5-10, the slightly less cheap feeling ones go for $50

A digital watch would imo be dumb as fuck since you won't be able to see shit at night and pressing the backlight button on an F-91 with gloves is going to cost you your life eventually.

Get your Google on son, it is the most comparable dive watch to a rolex. In the 60s-70s it was basically the race to the moon. Whoever could design a watch that could go below 300meters first was going to be known as the greatest watch makers of all time. Rolex ended up winning thats why most military dive watches are rolexs from that generation.

Its the same thing with any luxury item; if you buy a Ferrari, you know its going to cost an arm and a dick to buy it. Then every year you expect thousands of dollars in maintenance and repairs, but its got that halo aura because of its badge.

If you buy a mustang, camaro, or GTR, it'll cost significantly less, but perform spectacularly. But nobody shits on high end stuff because most can't afford it. Those who can afford it don't shit on them either because they know they're overpriced shit.

Are you picking it up as a project bike or purely for transportation?, if it's the latter IMO get something modern and comfortable - old CBs aren't particularly fast or comfortable.

If it's the former - they're incredibly fun project bikes because they're very basic, straight forward and you can mod just about every single part of the bike - if that sounds like something you'd like to do you should head over to youtube and watch a couple CB engine rebuild vids, HackaweekTV has a couple great ones.

Get it to a garage for a compression test before you buy.

Good luck either way

Its wasted space. Nothing is in the corners. Why a rectangle? Why not a triangle or pentagon?

>>12210420
sigh, I expected more from /fa

Q: why is the silhouette of a shoe so important?

A: same reason a square or rectangle shape best suits an arm/wrist

>triangle or pentagon?

don't be silly, and don't overthink it. it goes on your wrist, same as a bracelet, bangle, or cuff. do you see any of these with a big round eye sore on them?

listen, it's purely psychological; people's semantic notion of what a clock or a watch should look like. Maybe you're too young but when some of us were little kids, learning to tell time, they put this clock in front of you and it imprints itself and it's hard to get away from that even when you're an adult.

tl;dr:
the round face is a sorely mismatched design for a wrist.

So your argument is that because some shoes have squared toes, some are pointy, and some are rounded that rectangular watches look better?

class is dismissed but you need to stay behind.

>>12210242

I was into mechanical watches of the mid range for the intricate handiwork and precision needed to make them work.

That ran into a snag when I realized most mid-range mechanical watches use majority machine made swiss movements that are mass produced. These same movements are in many cases the ones in knockoff watches of higher caliber watches. Meaning sometimes the knockoffs are indistinguishable from the real thing as far as mechanics goes.

Even high end brands like Panerai have used standard movements for a long time.

So what are you paying for then? Literally just the brand name and a fancy box.

>>12210290
>Its the same thing with any luxury item; if you buy a Ferrari, you know its going to cost an arm and a dick to buy it.

You are supposed to be able to find the quality differences in the luxury items. A handmade shoe with good leather isn't the same as a mass produced shitty leather one. A Ferrari shouldn't be a Ford car with a Ferrari shell on top of it. Would people still pay for it then?

There has to be a line with luxury items where you realize it's just a scam.

Technology wise the High Frequency Quartz watches coming up now are extremely accurate, far more than a mechanical watch could ever be. They last years on a battery, require minimal service.

The solar power Citizen type watches are ugly as shit but again for technology they've got watches that'll run decades with no battery changes, losing maybe a minute a year.

Learn more about your hobbies and you may find you re-evaluate them.

>>12212393
Not offended, friend. The only advice I've ever been offered is buy new, or take it to a mechanic to check it out. I am a comfortable shade tree mechanic. Nobody ever takes a used car to a mechanic to check the compression of the engine, and rarely do they take it to do a pre purchase inspection. Tires are kicked, and all gizmos are turned on and off. Why its different for motorcycles is just beyond me.

They do when it comes to old engines and 40 years is definitely not young.
The reasons people are more careful with motorcycles is quite straight forward -
1. it's a lot more likely that they've been damaged
2. as a motorcyclist you're a million times more reliant on the performance of your bike than a car driver - it can make the difference between life and death

>>12213786
Bottom left or top right. I'm partial to brown bands over black though.

>>12213786
The black with yellowish numbers/hands looks the best IMO and the leather band doesnt look like a cheap 10$ one

Alright boys, so which brand of watch do I choose if I live in a small Eastern European country and have the cash to spare?

I think eventually I might be able to shell out 15k$ maximum for a watch.

I want shit that is aesthetic, yet attention grabbing.

Is Rolex too "dadcore" or is it classic?

Should I get an entry level AP?

What about other brands?

Please no Omega, I would never buy a watch with that name. Associates with omega males.

I'm considering Rolex, JLC, Maurice Lacroix, entry level AP.

If I go too flashy, it might be risky and attract unwanted attention, but if I go too classy I will be just another rich beta herb, you feel me.

Tips welcome

Native Sioux Yaqui mix.

Understandable.
I feel the same way about leather bands on watches over 35mm cases they remind be too much of the Chinese "fashion" watches that are all over eBay for under $20.

As far as cost goes, I actually pay very little for watches, since I buy them not working and restore them myself most of the time is an easy fix like a bad battery or capacitor for quartz movements or a cleaning and oiling for mechanical.
Here is what I'm currently servicing.

just buy a Patek Philippe

now you'll win any watch e-peen contest and have a heirloom piece. you won't need another watch in your lifetime.

>>12214765
I bet you dive an Alfa too because you think it makes you alpha.

>if I live in a small Eastern European country
What country?
>>12214950
horrible bracelet and buttons but otherwise the dial is cool

>>12214778
>Patek Philippe

I don't like how it looks and I don't think anyone knows Patek here.

Also, at white price do Pateks start? I think it is out of my budget. Aren't they like 30k?

Breguet Marine

French people should know it

Russians know it because Putin wears one

>>12215319
Not to mention that Russians have been known for being huge ouiaboos.

Is my new watch effay?

>>12201429
crazy, this is in my shopping cart right now. Waiting to pull the trigger.

>>12215453
whats so better about it than an skx007
except the hacking it doesnt really justify the price difference

>>12215533
something something cushion case

Are there really automatic watches being sold in twenty fucking seventeen that don't have hacking?

Price isn't even excuse because the Seiko NH35 movement has manual wind and hacking and it appears in watches less than $100.

What possible excuse can a company have for releasing a non hacking watch?

>>12215556
so only the case is better and hacking?
it uses the same retarded hands like the skx

>>12215579
What is hacking for an auto watch?

>>12215577
Being even cheaper than $100. A baseline Seiko 5 with a 7S26 is $55.

>>12215602
The seconds hand doesn't move when you pull the crown out the adjust the time.

>>12215604
You might as well pay that extra $45 and get hacking and winding though.

I have non hacking watches but I only find that acceptable since they're over 40 years old.

Hacking isn't horte horology anymore.

Can you guys suggest me a good casio watch(max 50 euros/dollars budget?

>>12215781
Literally any Casio. They'll all use the same quartz movement, and it all boils down to aesthetics.

Nope

>>12197402
>the difference between an £8000 watch and a £15000 watch makes a huge difference for most people
