- A big part of me wants to hate that..
but I can't.Nairn - Dumb question, is it supposed to be like that? Or is it waiting to be restored?Maaku
- I have no clue, I guess it looks old, but it could be by design. Found on tumblr, no actual source for more info...grafician
- I love it thografician
- I would very much presume intentional.Nairn
- cooooolmantrakid
- why do i now have a demi at the thought of making my own watch?Nairn
- No, a clock.Nairn

- Fuck those notes, it's taichi murakami watch********
- you irritate me, but thanks i_was.
https://labstorelond…Nairn - Not that I'm in any circle of hell going to buy a watch at that price, but I DO like that it's (I think?) some sort of cast concrtete/ -cum-resin thingNairn
- The Quartz Movement for this watch probably costs <$20; the strap and main bulk-thing about the same again. Just need to bother with the face a bit.Nairn
- I would even at that price, this is a beautiful piece!grafician
- I memba researching some watch brand that might've been linked here a few years ago - some LDN-baser thing. Realised what obscene margins they worked toNairn
- if I was going to (which I'm not because I'm tight af) I'd much rather commission a watch than spend the equivalent on some still cheap-ass overpriced bullshit.Nairn
- Remember guys, life is made of simple pleasures !********
- ^i_was I consider this a simple pleasure for myself - made in japan too, like a good Fuji camera, a good katana and other quality objects to own in lifegrafician
- this appears to be a mechanical movement... curious if it's an ETA. If so, could see this price point.showpony
- It’s probably a sellita movement. As a designer I dig his stuff, but it’s a fashion watch, so appropriately overpriced.ben_
- Ah jeeze no it’s a miyota by the looks of it. $100 movement, but again you buy this watch for the look, not the craftsmanship.ben_

I collect vintage Timex but today I got my first luxury watch a 1966 omega seamaster cal 601
Next is a seamaster date from the same era or a seamaster cosmic
The big grail is a pieman arrowhead constellation
- So you're the new Bond. James Bond.grafician
- It's not that kind of seamaster ;)trooperbill
- I have a nice Omega from the early 50's, standard fair tbh, but it looks great with the ostrich leather strap I got for it.face_melter
- just bought crock for mine. now to find a clasp from 1966 ;)trooperbill

going to be my first watch. €60,-
- Paid less than €10 from a market stall in Bolivia in the early 2000's for one, an old Bolivian woman had a bunch of watches on a blanket on the floor for sale.shapesalad
- yee i know its cheap shit but still it looks cool. and at this moment i'm not in Bolivia..milfhunter

Richard Mille tourbillon rm 052 skull
While intriguing, I've never understood why people like Richard Mille watches.
(in response to fooler's post about the B&R watch costing a lot....this RM is $500,000 and they sell out instantly)

so im potentially coming into a windfall and have 3k to spend happy to go pre-owned.
currently shortlisting tudor bb 58, tudor gmt, omega speedmaster moonwatch, jlc reverso, rolex oysterperpetual and if i can negoriate it a rolex datejust 36mm
what would you get (feel free to add to the list)
- dogecoinimbecile
- I would go BB58, been wanting one for a while but can never seem to justify it to myself...especially being stuck at home right nowBaskerviIle
- Good list — I like the JLC reverso. If you like to go dressier I would look at the Santos Dumont by Cartier. You can get the LG Quartz new. Great watch.wordssssss
- If you like tool watches I would recommend a look at the Enicar Sherpa line.wordssssss
- i dont do quartz but thanks for the santos recommendationtrooperbill
- Its a pretty decent "high-autonomy" quartz movement with a fairly impressive 6 year battery. but i hear ya...wordssssss
- I'm looking to sell my Nomos Tangomat GMT - Selfishly you should add that to your list ;) Have fun though, this is a great list!ben_
- good luck getting a moonwatch at 3k. I have one and its greatcannonball1978
- bb58 is good valuecannonball1978
- Speedy moon isn't totally out of the question if condition isn't top concern.ben_
- Omega Speedmaster, but I wouldn't buy anything unless in perfect condition.formed
- IWC pilots watch chronograph.Longcopylover
- ok_not_ok-2

yay or nay? left side or right side? thanks
- Nay / Nay Have never been into the Explorer's but I would probably go with the right one bcasue of the aging of the dial.wordssssss
- Right. Oyster feels right for an ExplorerBaskerviIle
- left. I like the texture better.cannonball1978
- Right. Left looks too busy to me.formed
- leftmilfhunter
- the fabric texture on the left makes the watch look tiny. is it tiny? ...if not, then right. (3 months later)sarahfailin

it is fucking impossible to buy a rolex in the uk.
ive litterally (i kid you not) called every rolex authorised dealer and been told 2-5 year wait lists and preferred customers only.
doesnt matter which model i try its the same story
how is this a business model? how are ADs supposed to grow their busines sif they cant get stock... after market prices are sky high... how does this benefit rolex~? - i dont get it
- patience is a virtue maybe********
- theyre fucking mass produced watches not some artizanal itemtrooperbill
- right.********
- Get a Tudor Black Bay 58cannonball1978
- the struggle is real. fucking muppet.mort_
