Do not buy a fucking emporio armani man...
Get a watch from actual watch company.
Some fashion watches can be good because they give you stainless steel case and a solid link bracelet for relatively cheap, but they are never competitive in quality with actual watch companies.
Look for Citizen if you want the similar look.

Can't decide between these 3, was looking for a simple white face brown strap watch.

The first is $69 and I would have to get a replacement strap. Second $57 and last $43

This is also going to be my first real watch besides a casio digital I have

>>12681543
Honestly go with the first one, decent leather straps aren't that expensive and it looks way better

What's /fa/'s opinions on shark leather straps?

They look good and apparently are water resistant. Also not as expensive as crocodile and ostrich.

lmfao these ug memes

>>12683394
Tissot are not the worst thing in the world, but they are very very low level swiss made, if you are after affordable just go for a respectable japanese brand like citizen or seiko, personally I really like the ecodrive range by citizen, then when you're financially able to break into the higher bracket go for a good swiss or german.

>>12683539
new to me, never seen someone wearing those
don't know much about them, but looks very nice
Is it a new thing?

>>12683406
hmm, Tudor homage, but i like them. Good color contrast and overall looks good. I would wear them for camping or some sporty events

Have they illuminated dial??

>>12683673
As meme as the Swiss army itself.

>>12683670
>Is it a new thing?

Don't think so, they appear a lot in a book I own by a German collector of Soviet watches.
I just started to get interested in them since I've read that most of them are water resistant, which makes me think they'd make good leather bands for divers.

>>12684050
The case looks somewhat poorly finished, how's the movement itself?
How much did you pay?

>>12684300

Well it's a Poljot, not a Breitling after all. The movement is the well known and reliable Poljot 3133 chronograph movement, in-house. Has a good accuracy and power reserve. These watches went to space with the Soviets btw.
I got it from an auction for 115€.

>>12684266
nah

Where to cop a good leather and/or exotic leather band?

>>12685041
Camille Fournet lets you pick from a few overpriced exotic leathers and customize them down to the last stitch, and Atelier du Bracelet Parisien carries pretty much everything so if you want a strap made from elephant trunks or white rhinoceros ballsacks or tiger foreskins or whatever then they're probably the place to go. I don't have first-hand experience with either because they're not cheap, I think cheaper-midrange brands like Hirsch and regular cows are good enough.

>>12685041
For exotic leather your cheapest option will be foreign eBay sellers.

Just picked up a Tudor Pelagos last week.

This. There are a few people who specialize in accutron movements so seek them out when the time comes.

>>12687089
Four. But only two are automatic. That's gonna grow though.

>>12687089
Too many, I'm trying to cut it back to 6.

>>12687089
About 12 and I've got 3 more ordered.

Ok I went to a store in CDMX (Palacio de Hierro) to see some watches. I was looking for a SARB035 but they didn't have it. They had the Visodate and I tried it on--it's a beautiful watch. I had the money for it but it came to $650usd and changed my mind.

Anyway thing is I saw the Omega stand and was in awe of the Speedmaster. The (I guess most common) silver metal band and black dial kind. It was about $1k usd but online I see it for more money than that.

Is there a cheaper model or what? Or maybe they're cheaper in Mexico for some reason?

>>12688063
Speedmaster Reduced is cheaper but still not that cheap. Maybe it was used? Or fake.

>>12687337
If its in good shape would it need specialized service? Im not saying any bumfuck service center could do it, but could anywhere id take a normal bulova do it? This is my first vintage watch so not much experience

>>12689047
there's really not many situations you couldn't wear an f91w in, especially in a casual setting. Myself, I got one specifically FOR work, but I'm a tradesman so so a 5-dollar watch that's nearly indestructible, replaceable if something does happen, and that I won't feel guilty about getting covered in shit, was perfect.

Ultimately nobody pays so much attention to watches that it would matter.

What does /fa/ think of new watch brands? is it worth to give it a shot, or wait till they have proven themselves?

I don't know much about watches but I've got two myself. I've had the one on the left for about 8-9 years and it's still going strong. The one on my right was given to my late grandfather from his place of employment for 30 years of service. Recently got the battery replaced and I've been wearing it a lot.
