WATCHES: POST EM HERE YOU DEAR FRIENDS

>>9804661
It's a Seagull 1963, the 38mm acrylic crystal version with a display caseback. I bought mine from watchunique, it's a store in the Netherlands but they had the lowest price I could find (no VAT tax for Americans) and pretty fast shipping to the US.

Bought this replica Rolex for less than a $100
Will add a mesh or leather strap and use it to go out in the woods and to the beach.
It will make a nice beater and keep my other watches nice and clean :-)

>He didn't get one from one of the reputable dealers.
I'd rather have gotten an air king. When it looks like this it's pretty okay to do whatever with it and it'll still sell for a thousand dollars.

Is Ulysse Nardin a good brand?

If you can find me a light colored Datejust that looks like an Air King from one of the reputable dealers I would've bought it.
I loved the Air King style but really like having the date.
This was my second option.

How much do the cheapest rolexes costs? For example, is it possible to get an airking with a leather strap for less than $2,000?

>>9804828
It starts at $2,000, you're probably looking at $3,000 for a good one.

>>9804828
In condition 2 or 3 it's about 1500$
For about 1800 could get you a slightly roughed up datejust.
Look on chrono24.

Alright, everyone.
So here's the gist, I plan on going out into the deep wilderness this summer to hunt for bigfoot (Don't fucking judge me, I have my own hobbies.) and I need the perfect watch to do the job.

I live in the Southern U.S and where I live it can be pretty unpredictable, but generally speaking I just need a good watch that's incredibly durable and functional. Obviously g-shock watches can be good, but I need something specific so I can look at that watch and see if it would be good. Generally speaking anything you might find useful like compasses, countdowns, or anything else. It doesn't have to have specifically those, just something that has a lot of uses.

I'm going deep in the forest to look for bigfoot, and bigfoot isn't going to be giving me shit about how it looks. As long as it doesn't look like it belongs in a fruity pebbles commercial I will be fine.

Watchnoob here.
I'm currently looking for a nice watch. I'm in love with the design of the Daniel Wellington watches. What's /fa/'s opinion on this brand? Other than it being Quartz instead of mechanical. Otherwise, are there any watches with very similar design out there, being mechanical?

I really dislike how how the day and date are cut through the 11 and 1. It looks like really sloppy design.

>>9804852
I haven't really looked. I'd have gotten that from silixprime but at that pricepoint it's probably the same thing anyway.
Post pics when you get it and put it on a leather nato. Look for grey leather natos too.

>>9804955
Don't. Look here >>9804644 instead.
If you must get a Daniel Shillington, get one off Aliexpress. Literally same materials, workmanship, overall quality and internal components. About 5% of the price though.

I actually think you got what you wanted, you've posted that image quite a few times and likely thought of it more than so. Get it on a leather nato and enjoy it.

If I have some money to piss away any time soon I might get the black air king and sun fade it over the summer. Or their rather shitty 1675 since I've wanted one for closer to a year by now.

>>9805190

Damn. :(

>>9805228
Already e-mailed and done.
Got an Asian friend who does the sweet talking.
Going to order from that other website, probably tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip, wasn't ready to shell out $400 but $200 is just perfect

>>9805280
Wait what did you get?
I was talking about some shoddy 86$ air kings that are 36 rather than 34mm
Silix isn't exactly a reputable site but it seems acceptable.
Do review the site (and watch) when you get it.

>>9805228
Is that the 1675 that's on torobravos? How exactly is it shitty? I've been eyeing that one lately but I don't like the acrylic crystal and I have no idea if it's actually any good.

>>9805299
Smooth bezeled DateJust with the thinstriped\AirKing face
I purchased the one I showed in the picture which is a shitty Chinese one, but the pictures from the site you showed look way more promising.
And the site I ordered from is something like 'Replica Rolex .co' so I prefer that Silix site a lot more
But I will read up on it a bit more, the fact that it's a bit more expensive gives me hope it's better

>>9805326
Oh also, it would probably be this one:
http://www.silix-prime.so/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=115_158_218&products_id=2160
Since I find the Roman numerals on the other one absolutely disgusting.
Now I just need to do my checks in the actual size of the watch, the website and whatnot

>>9804949

Sounds like you might need an ABC watch. That's Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass. There are a few from G-Shock or there is Suunto and I believe Garmin too.

>>9804955

Any problems I might encounter or anybody want to vent about replica's?

>>9807480

>>9804640
Attn: Do not but a Seagull!
I sent mine back to china five times, only for it to break again. No other watch maker will touch it and I consider my purchase a waste of time and money.

>>9807497
You know that fakes are around the $200 right?
And that Rolex is 10 times that if not more,
Good Tudors are still 5 times more.
Steinhart at least is 2 times more.

The only thing I would settle for is a watch close to or around $200, which is only a Seiko that looks nothing like it.

>>9807542
steinharts are just hype driven generic watches

no better than tissot, rado, oris or whatever other meh watch brand you can name

>>9805612
>They use cheap Chinese Quartz movements in a cheap Chinese case

that is literally the only thing /fa/ likes in the watch world though

personally i don't see why DW watches aren't considered the absolute shit here

since /fa/ loves ACNE, common porjects and void the brand

you would think their go to watch is daniel wellington

cheaply made, generic looking soon to be garbage

>>9807542
still missing the point

>>9807567
Because watches get /g/ people over here.

>>9807573
Not really.
I see how it hurts businesses and people but as soon as a $200 came out that looked at least a bit like it I would buy it.
I don't give a shit about having a Rolex crown on there. I buy it for the design.

>>9807574
you must be concerned about the brand on your wrist or you would not be buying one in the first place..also you should have some self respect but it seems like you don't if you are willing to be fake and buy fake....I would buy what I could afford knowing it was a real watch not a fake even if it was a $10 timex at least Ii know I wasn't a fake

>>9807574

>>9807587

You guys are rpetty butthurt about this topic.

It's a watch, it doesnt make me fake or a phony.
It's just a piece of jewelry I have on my wrist to tell the time.
It has absolutely nothing to do with self respect.

I don't want to be *that guy* but you guys sound like some consumerist/capitalist people.
Your stuff does not define you.

>>9807597
im over it...im just cringing and shaking my head..good luck on the replica..hopefully people spot it as a fake and call you out and people laugh..you will feel like a phony then..

>>9807597
Save up for a Steinhart Ocean One.
If that doesn't cut it, it's probably because you want people to be like "wow, you own a Rolex?", which is, frankly, quite pathetic considering it's going to be fake.

>>9807606
i agree..."act your wage"

>>9807603
You must have shit friends.
Mine would go: "You bought a Rolex?"
"Nah, it's a fake for when we're going to the beach for the next few months"
"Ah, okay"

And yet again, people don't have the ability to make me feel like a phony, I don't give a fuck about opinions of others unless I value and respect them.

>>9807606
If the Steinhart Ocean One was what I wanted I would've purchased it.
The sad thing is that there are no watches with the look and feel fo a DateJust for around the $200, as I posted earlier.
The only thing that comes close is a Seiko that doesn't have a cyclops and a horrible date window with ugly bar marks.

It's just a beater that will probably get sand in it and be gone in a few months.

whats a good g-shock i could start with?

>>9807619

Just buy whichever one you think looks the best. Some have more features than others but all of them are good.

>>9807615
fake rolexs often have ETA 2824 blanks in them
the only reason people don't like them is that they are unregulated and just slapped together

a steinhart ocean one uses the same ETA 2824 movement with the least amount of regulation from the factory that ETA offers

-------
some rolex fakes feature knock off movements made by seagull

these movements are like a lot of chinese goods a hit or a miss since chinese quality control is lackluster

so once in awhile you get one that just won't fucking work for the life of it due to poor machining and poor assembly

not to mention chinese people aren't known for their customer service

if you can cope with all of that you may get a half decent watch that pretends to be a rolex at the build quality of anything from a nixon/invicta (hairs and smudges inside watch) or might get lucky and might get the build quality of a tissot (pretty decent for money)

I don't like the Roman numerals, the big bars or a lot of shit on the dial.

Like I said before, if there was an exact Rolex without the crown, I would've bought it.
I had the debate about buying the Seiko in a previous thread but it just doesn't have the same look and feel since you're going to be annoyed by the little things.

Should I go ordinary buckle or butterfly strap buckle?

>>9808330
No.

>>9807665
absolutely disgusting

>>9808347
I've always found butterfly clasps on leather straps tacky as hell. Definitely go with an ordinary buckle, preferably in gold to match the case

>>9808347
cont.

But it's a very nice Seamster. Since you don't have big wrists it will suit you really well also.

Thanks.

Yeah I have really feminine wrists which is quite unfortunate because I've always wanted a Planet Ocean. But I'm afraid it'll be too big for me. But I was thinking maybe an Aqua Terra would be a better choice.
