Nice Baglesport homage there
Hi /wt/, which of these three is the real Submariner?
Thoughts?
Very nice. The font of the numerals in the subdials could be better, but that's the only negative I see.
Damn fine. JLC are moving up my rankings for watch makers in recent years.
First is real bottom two are fake I already told you
We will see if /wt/ agrees with you.
Far better than the new Master Control Date, the date window ruins it completely. The old one worked because the dial was so clean, now it just looks awful
what the absolute FUCK is going on on this website?
Troll. All the same watch.
I'm no expert, but I'd say top is real and the mid and bottom are fakes.
Isn't right the new one? It's beautiful
Yes. I do like the design and it really pops in real life but I don't like the date window at all, it ruins the balance of the dial in my opinion.
The triangle for the lume pip is all wrong on the bottom two
Unf
I wouldn't go that far, but yeah it's not the best integration. At least the date wheel is color coordinated.
Not just that:
Rehaut engravings look rusted or something.
Bezel minute marks on middle are too fat, bottom one looks better.
Bracelet of bottom one looks too loose with lugs.
Middle is better but not as good as top (and that atrocious lume triangle).
Bottom one has the best "tell" of the three though lol.
Can you spot it?
The bottom is really bad I think I could spot that on somebody’s wrist

Hardly, though why the fuck 6 o'clock isn't standard for date wheels is beyond me.

No.
TRULY A TIME PIECE FIT FOR A CHAD
What are some high-end/grail watches if I like the style of SARB033/35?
How do you like my NOMOS collection?
Grand Seiko
I like how the resolution is displayed both in absolute value and in pixels per inch
Grand Seiko is the pretty obvious answer, or I guess a Datejust or Day-Date or maybe a Seamaster Aqua-Terra.
>it's 2018 and Grand Seiko still produce dress watches that are larger than 39mm
Sorry to tell you boys but all three are replicas.
Pics taken from here:

So now do you feel a little bit silly saying that a $9 Casio is better quality than a rep? Can I get an apology at least?
I never said that I have a noob V6 deapsea myself
never called out on it once
They're not dress watches in the traditional sense though. They also make smaller models, although they're not the majority of their production (and I don't think any spring drive is under 40mm).
>Sorry to tell you boys but all three are replicas.
I'm surprised you managed to get so many (You)s. I knew that would be the case without even opening the thumbnail.
Say sorry.
Well regardless the top one's the best of the pile, whatever that's worth.
Buy that one if you're gonna get a fake.
Like I said, I'm not an expert.
> He thinks the pictures on a replica site are real
Pretty much all pics on those sites are ripped from the real thing.
what is JF and where to buy?
JF looks pretty decent.
The ROLEXROLEXROLEX around the outside should line up perfectly with the minute markers. X should fall on the 5,10,15 etc on the right and the R should lie up with the 35,40,45, etc on the left.
>pffft well I mean I did get btfo but whatever I'm not that angry honest
Whatever.
>fake
Stop using that word to refer to replicas.
They’re taken of the article you’re about to buy. These are QC photos.
I copped a Lord Quartz for 59 bongs.
Happy to be in the club.
You asked about fakes, all I did was try my best to answer. No need to go on about it.
Say sorry.
Stop using that word replicas to refer to forgeries.
Let's see it user
The terms are very clearly defined, it's you who is at fault.
Looks in good nick but not original bracelet. I have a plan to get one though.
If that fails though, what straps look good on these. I can imagine a Milanese looking pretty fuckin 70s.
I’m a rep fag but you can’t honestly think that it’s the same quality. Especially the movement.
That's not how it works. Just because you say a word means something doesn't change its meaning.
That's pretty good.
Nope, 100% the same.
It is how language works, actually. Read a book.
trying to decide between the William L 1985 Quartz chrono and the Tissot PRC 200 Automatic. The tissot is 2mm wider and 3mm thicker, but has an automatic movement. Any advice?
Garunteed right up that this guys gets way more PUSSY than any of you, okay hunnies?
I would let him fuck my pussy so hard while you watched in the corner looking at your $10,000 used Rolex, got it? Oh yeah, thanks for opening me that line of credit so I could buy a nicer watch than you anyway. How does this ladies datejust you paid for look with Travis's cum all over it? Might just lick it off then kiss you with it when I tuck you into bed tonight, then go for round two with Travis and his hockey buddies.
FUCK YOU JENNIFER ALL I WANTED WAS A NICE KEKOLD RELATIONSHIP YOU HAD TO RUIN IT BY TAKING ME TO COURT
jlc and lange are pretty much the only ones who seriosly try to make good watches and not just screw you
If the Chinese fake factories are so great at making watches that are just as good as the Swiss originals then why don't they just design their own watches and sell them with their own brand?
That's right, because they're garbage and nobody wants them on their own merits, people only get suckered into buying them because they resemble something else.
No it's not. When everyone agrees on a meaning except one guy, it doesn't change the meaning.
Now look at the Polaris collection and say that again with a straight face.
Yea I’m looking forward to receiving it. I’m happy about the kanji too.
>refusing to apologize and continuing to post lies about replica watches even in the face of overwhelming evidence against him
So that's an order of some BLACKED with a side of gore and gay porn for dips? No problem.
Thanks, guys. Grand Seiko watches look nice, but I hate their logo. Reminds me of the ghetto looking Suzuki S logo.
I like the look of fluted bezel Day-Dates. That will be my next.
lmao wtf am I reading
