Or something similar to that

2017-06-09 20:28:41 UTC  

Keep in mind that those watches are mechanical

2017-06-09 20:29:08 UTC  

You can get a lower end Nomos knockoff on ali that's acceptable in styling and quartz for a third of that

2017-06-09 20:29:36 UTC

2017-06-09 20:29:46 UTC  

Do mechanichal watches need any special maintenance

2017-06-09 20:30:02 UTC  

Yes, and significantly more care

2017-06-09 20:30:13 UTC  

They also have much worse timekeeping accuracy

2017-06-09 20:30:44 UTC  

Why does being even slightly fashionable mean that much work

2017-06-09 20:30:51 UTC  

It doesn't

2017-06-09 20:31:08 UTC  

You probably want a quartz watch, but all the watch enthusiast-oriented wrist fedoras are mechanical

2017-06-09 20:31:23 UTC  

@s3bbe so Seagull is a Nomos knockoff?

2017-06-09 20:32:28 UTC  

No, _that_ Seagull is a Nomos Tangente 35 knockoff

2017-06-09 20:32:57 UTC  

Mechanical watches = time keeping-meme equivalent of vinyl records?

2017-06-09 20:33:21 UTC  

Pretty much

2017-06-09 20:33:40 UTC  

They're also hundreds of years old while quartz is from the 1970s

2017-06-09 20:33:41 UTC  

""homage""

2017-06-09 20:33:50 UTC  

homage is a good meme

2017-06-09 20:34:02 UTC  
2017-06-09 20:34:47 UTC  

Those look too complicated for my liking

2017-06-09 20:35:11 UTC  

Thought so, but it's the only chink quartz watches of quality worth a damn I can think of

2017-06-09 20:35:30 UTC  

Why am I not rich

i mean you can just get a clone for 2-20 bucks

2017-06-09 20:36:09 UTC  

leddit cunters can afford that, you don't need to be rich. Though if you're sane you need to be rich

2017-06-09 20:36:44 UTC  

I guess a quartz tangente knockoff for about $25-40 would be your best bet

2017-06-09 20:40:31 UTC  

What should I look for in the description

2017-06-09 20:40:32 UTC  

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 🤔

2017-06-09 20:40:37 UTC  

If I like a watch

2017-06-09 20:41:02 UTC  

case material being uncoated steel

2017-06-09 20:41:11 UTC  

"subdials working" if it has any subdials

2017-06-09 20:41:40 UTC  

Not much else at your pricepoint. If you see "mineral crystal" or "miyota" those are good things

2017-06-09 20:42:36 UTC  

>fake subdials
I wouldn't wear that kind of thing. Even at that price point I have standards

2017-06-09 20:44:17 UTC  

Normies can pay $130ish for watches with faux chrono pushers and/or subdials with glued on hands

2017-06-09 20:45:24 UTC  

oh shit i forgot about this server

2017-06-09 20:45:30 UTC  

I don't know jack shit about watches or anything luxury

2017-06-09 20:45:45 UTC  

But I throw up in my mouth a little bit everytime I see subdials like that

2017-06-09 20:45:51 UTC  

any of you own a chinkpad x220

2017-06-09 20:45:55 UTC  

x230

2017-06-09 20:45:56 UTC  

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.

2017-06-09 20:46:11 UTC  

i was a bit hasty with buying it

2017-06-09 20:46:24 UTC  

wanted a 3.0 port on my laptop

2017-06-09 20:46:28 UTC  

but got the i5
