Watch Thread - Part Deux

$250

 

Wanted to start him with an inexpensive automatic, and see if he gets into watches.

 

I could get him into the quartz variant of this for $275 (may be able to find him something on r/watchexchange)

 

$300

 

I just bring myself to like orient. For entry level, seiko is coke, citizen is Pepsi, orient is RC cola. Why would you want RC cola?

 

Coke Tier - Seiko, Hamilton, Tissot
Pepsi Tier - Orient
RC Tier - Citizen

 

Feel like Hamilton and Tissot are a step above the others (or maybe that’s me giving too much credit for them being Swiss).

Seiko and Orient kinda sorta being owned by the same company always felt so strange as they really do occupy similar markets. I’ve owned both watches and the faux-British/euro logo that orient has has always felt like it’s trying a little too hard. Seiko knows what it is and embraces it.

 

The tangents 38 - 50 ans de medicine sans frontieres.

 

I’d pick c between those three, but a probably the safest option.

 

Love that. Jomashop has the visodate powermatic 80 black dial silver accents for $456. Just love the two logos they use.

 

Need a watch that matches your cooler?

 

It comes on a bronze or whatever bracelet too right? Pretty sure that's the watch I saw with great patina and was like whoa.

 

There's 3 of them. Google Oris Cotton Candy.

 

Kangaroo strap with black buckles.

 

I’ve got sucked into WatchTok. I can’t stop watching Buckley make deals lol

 

Won't be popular but I like this.

 

I did.

 

Yea it sits up if you look at it from certain angles but idc I like it.

 

Solid shoe choice

 

Thicc.

Reminds me of the North Face Chevrolet Avalanche in the early aughts. That was so dumb.

 

It’s this but on the wrist:

 

Parents just got this

 

And dblplay1212 just made me buy another gshock.

 

What did you buy?

 

Nvm cancelled it.

 

What was it?

 

So Rolex AD's are going to be selling used watches certified by Rolex now? How is that going to work? Are they going to be selling used watches at a higher price than new? That looks really dumb in store.

 

This

 

My Tissot arrived yesterday, and I’m a fan. I haven’t worn a watch for a couple decades, and I didn’t go try any on so I was a little worried about the 41mm case and thin bezel. The dial is a little lighter than I expected which I think actually looks even better.

Spoiler

 

Still haven’t decided on a watch for my brother. He’s short, 5’5” so I’m leaning towards 36s.

Found this listing, leaning towards the gold plated one. This seller is very active and reliable on r/watchexchange

 

I think that’s way cooler than a $200 Orient Bambino automatic or $250 Tissot quartz

 

Do you know anything about the sizing?

He refers to one as “32mm, 35mm with the crown.”

No way it’s 32mm, right?

 

I would not buy gold plated.
