I will probably buy the first watch you linked
ST17
Or something similar to that
Keep in mind that those watches are mechanical
You can get a lower end Nomos knockoff on ali that's acceptable in styling and quartz for a third of that
>product brand: The Horse
Do mechanichal watches need any special maintenance
Yes, and significantly more care
They also have much worse timekeeping accuracy
Why does being even slightly fashionable mean that much work
It doesn't
You probably want a quartz watch, but all the watch enthusiast-oriented wrist fedoras are mechanical
No, _that_ Seagull is a Nomos Tangente 35 knockoff
Mechanical watches = time keeping-meme equivalent of vinyl records?
Pretty much
They're also hundreds of years old while quartz is from the 1970s
""homage""
homage is a good meme
@unkoseizouki Look here http://www.manbuworld.com/c/quartz_0379 if you like anything
Thought so, but it's the only chink quartz watches of quality worth a damn I can think of
Why am I not rich
i mean you can just get a clone for 2-20 bucks
leddit cunters can afford that, you don't need to be rich. Though if you're sane you need to be rich
I guess a quartz tangente knockoff for about $25-40 would be your best bet
What should I look for in the description
Not quite sure what to search to get the decent ones. (i.e. actual steel case etc) Found a store on taobao and linked here once but can't remember the name of that either 🤔
If I like a watch
case material being uncoated steel
"subdials working" if it has any subdials
Not much else at your pricepoint. If you see "mineral crystal" or "miyota" those are good things
>fake subdials
I wouldn't wear that kind of thing. Even at that price point I have standards
Normies can pay $130ish for watches with faux chrono pushers and/or subdials with glued on hands
oh shit i forgot about this server
I don't know jack shit about watches or anything luxury
But I throw up in my mouth a little bit everytime I see subdials like that
any of you own a chinkpad x220
x230
The lower end nomos knockoffs do come in that variety. Also just because the dial says nomos doesn't make it Bauhaus or at all related. Look at the styling (and materials) over what it says. Ideally it doesn't say anything at all.
i was a bit hasty with buying it
