>>18125066
Wow, so even the seiko mods have misaligned bezels?

>>18125132
Reposting in this new thread so you won't just forget ; )

>>18125154
Timed it perfectly, got it at close to the lowest point in Dec

>>18125158
Decent, decent. Any complaints? What do you like the most about it?

>>18125160
Close to perfect dimensions for my wrist at 40mm; I don't think I'll buy anything larger from now on.
Very versatile dressed up and down, except when you're doing sports - I have a Pelagos and a G shock for those. Jubilee bracelet is way better than the PCL, and extremely comfortable in my humid weather.
Great recognition from the normies when you want it.

Think I've raised in previous threads: I'm not a big fan of the 32xx movements. If Rolex can't fix those by the time my warranty runs out, I'll sell. Related to the earlier point, I don't wear it around the office; it looks too conspicuous. I'll probably get a Moser or something else for that.

>>18125166
Based. Just based dude. i like the way you thought it out.
Why is Moser so popular lately? Why did everyone suddenly acquire taste? This worries me a bit.

>>18125177
Think there's a few of us on this thread who like Moser in general, and the move to 40mm for the Pioneer series has made it a much better proposition for those who can afford one.

There's been a general trend to wear something nice but not look too ostentatious, and a lot of Mosers fit that pretty well.

Personally, I studied design before my current career - I wouldn't have been able to afford jack on that salary. I appreciate Moser's designs and willingness to try new things without being too gaudy.

>>18125183
Sadly, even the 40mm is too big for me. It wears like a 43mm. Their 43mm wears like 50 lol

>>18125186
Yeah, that's why the 43 was completely out of the question for me, even though I liked the colors.

2nd hand Streamliners should be doable price-wise, and I think the dimensions should be fine. Although I think the 40mm Pioneers are fine for me. With the release of the new Streamliners with updated movements, the price of the original Green Dragon should drop as well.

>>18125203
I miss him bros.....
On a serious note, it's been months since mort posted.

>>18125189
Unfortunately the Streamliners wear wear very large as well. If you can't wear a 43mm Pioneer, then the Streamliner isn't for you either.

I'll be interested to see over the next few years if Moser sticks to their guns in terms of big watches or if they come down in size to follow the trend.

>>18125221
The original Streamliners were 42.5mm but the latest ones have been 39mm and 40mm. I expect they'll continue to stay smaller; apart from the lime green one, the latest Pioneers have been 40mm. The CEO himself was saying he couldn't wear the original Pioneers comfortably.

>>18125235
Correction, the ones with complications tend to be 42.5, the plain ones are 40

The carbon fiber gshock landed in the american store for some reason<br>https://www.casio.com/us/watches/gs<wbr>hock/product.GW-S5600U-1/

i got my first big boy watch. only thing ive worn other than an f91w in 15 years.

>>18125278
we can see by the fact that you don't wear the watch properly

I kinda want to get a smartwatch... will I get tired of it after a week?

>>18125303
only reason to get a smartwatch is sports so garmin/polar/suunto/similar things

>>18125325
Is this supposed to be a good watch picture? Omega is trash lmao

>>18125326
I'm very happy with it. Post your watch.

>>18125329
Are you new to this place? You posted a wristshot, some very loud minority will always reply with bitter comments whenever you post your watch. You have to remember 90% of people here live paycheck to paycheck so any watch that costs more than 200$ will be met with bitter replies.
Personally I'm not an Omega fan, and yet yours is bright and easy on the eyes. I even like the (usually ugly) skeletonized hands. Not my first choice for a decent watch but it's definitely a nice and recognisable one. Good job.

>>18125337
The wristshot isn't mine that's another dude. Just the same watch. But yeah, bittercels are weird to me. I didn't buy a watch because I thought it would get /WT/'s approval, I bought it because I like it kek. It was the watch that fit what I wanted the most at the budget I wanted to spend.

>>18125341
You could post a Philippe dufour and a guy here will tell you that it's shit because the hands are outsourced.

>>18125341
sounds like you bought it bc you really can’t afford what you really want lmfao. since you don’t care I also think it’s shit. looks like the watch equivalent of a greek(turk)

>>18125341
>I didn't buy a watch because I thought it would get /WT/'s approval
Imagine not seeking /wt/'s approval.

>>18125347
But that is what I really wanted. I chose it to be the one watch I'll ever truly need, I could've chosen from a lot more but a seamaster is what I actually wanted. I'm never going to get a Rolex because I don't like the image they portray about you. What would you have chosen for the same budget, bittercel? I'm only 21 kek I'm not gonna drop 50k on a royal oak chrono.

>>18125348
I buy things I like I don't need other people to like them.

>>18125355
A nice watch, but says too much about your character to be for me. I personally would not take one.

>>18125303
If you use your phone a lot it is pretty cool how they sync up. It also gamifies exercise so it might motivate you to work out more if you’re the kind of person that likes seeing numbers on a screen

Haven’t posted one of my watches in awhile. My cat loves the formex he always rubs up against it when I put it on

I have a reef as well out of the two I like the reef more than the essence. I would recommend the bracelet the rubber strap has this bumpy texture that I always was cleaning grime off of. I haven’t put it back on the strap since I got the bracelet

>>18125357
>i’m only 21

oh so your poor, retarded, and a practically useless human also. get these zoomers OUTTA HERE

>>18125357
Very nice watch for 21 congratulations. Hopefully you’ll create a lot of memories with it as you grow up.
We’re just busting your balls learning to banter with older people is a key skill to success. I think something a lot of young people who had their social skills destroyed by the lock downs don’t realize

>>18125325
Nice

>>18125337
Well said

>>18125355
Black sub is nice but I abuse my divers in the gym/pool/sauna too much risk/reward at that price for an omega/breitling/tag that has the same tool function personally I am saving up for a day date when I acquire a rolex for a out and about/dress only watch only

>>18125374
based cat, based formex, based friendship between them

>>18125345
based bittercels show they are true connoisseurs of /wt/

>>18125337
When did this place get so goddamned sensitive?
We've always ripped on each other's watches. It's 4chan. Banter is as integral to the site as anonimity is.

Is it because when someone makes fun of a watch you've spent money on, you now worry that you've made a bad purchase?

If you want nothing but likes and "wear it in good health, brother" comments, go to WUS, where making jokes gets you banned.

>>18125357
what does owning a sub say about ones character?

>>18125455
ok...and a seamaster isn't a boring choice? NTA but trying to understand.

>>18125458
Glad you asked - 2 things:
1. the sub looks like any other diver you can buy a seiko/citizen/orient/bulova that looks the exact same from 3 feet away some subs are alright like the starbucks has some character but a black sub is pretty gay
2. Your watch is 8-14k depending on when/where you bought it and is only chronometer officially certified the seamaster while not only looking distinct from a cookie cutter diver is master chronometer certified

With all that said it always comes down to what YOU like looking down at on your wrist

>>18125451
stfu nigger faggot
You triple vaxxed npc

Is a Speedmaster or Datejust clasp more shock resistant than the clasp of a Seiko 5 or something?

>>18125458
>>18125466
They're both boring.

The Sub is the most predictable diver out there and the Seamaster is the most predictable affordable alternative to the Sub.

>Yeah, b-b-but look at all the fun colors
has never been anything but a cope for buying the most obvious stand-in for the most obvious watch.

The Seamaster is also in dire need of a refresh.

What is the /wt/ approved Datejust configuration?

>>18125483
smooth bezel + oyster bracelet
fluted bezel + jubilee bracelet

>>18125481
what's wrong with predictable? you wear jeans don't you?

>>18125357
>I buy things I like I don't need other people to like them.
You are in a fashion board.

>>18125491
Nothing's wrong with it, per se. There can be comfort in being boring. To say that you're not boring when you make boring choices, though, is either deluded or disingenuous.

Name a single brand that makes better watches now that it did in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s.<br>Pro-tip: you absolutely and definitely can't. Modern watchmaking is SHIT SHIT SHIT.

>>18125510
Thanks but it's a replica. A superclone that nobody can tell apart but still fake. It's the first thing I tell people, don't want to be a liar on the first impression.

I'm new to watches and this was sort of an impulse buy. Should I get the smaller 36mm watch face instead? Be honest

>>18125522
It's too big.
Also the Explorer should always be in 36mm.

>>18125374
>>18125378
nice formex, i want an essence 39 but not sure i would actually end up wearing it. how comfortable are their bracelets?

>>18125529
Oh look! It's the 11th best stainless steel integrated sports watch!

>>18125519
>Grand Seiko
I just checked and you have shit taste. What they did back then was way nicer than the ugly shitters they do now.
>Credor
Same as GS. Also irrelevant brand. Kill yourself.
>Casio
>>>/toy/catalog
>ALS
Year of creation: 1990. Retard.
>Glasshütte Original
I also checked. Their 1960s stuff was decent. You'd have to pay me to wear a modern GO.
>Bulgari
They started making basic womens watches in the 70s. Unironically better than the stupid Genta shitters they're know for these days.
>Zenith
Are you clinically retarded? Zenith made beautiful watches before quartz. Now they make ugly skeleton shitters and Daytona cope.

tl;dr: kill yourself faggot

>>18125540 only likes cheap vintage crap (because he is a poorfag) and laughably small watches for his thin faggot wrists!

>>18125541
Rolex (1950s to 1990s)
Patek Philippe (1940s to 1990s)
Omega (1930s to 1970s)
>>18125542
Vintage is more expensive than modern crap, retard.
>>18125543
Rolex only makes 2 good watches now.
AP hasn't made a single good watch since the early 1990s.

I have 10K leafbucks for watch, what should I get?

>>18125453
It's owning a Rolex in general. It's a sleazy businessman's watch. It's the watch that is worn most by people that want you to notice it's a Rolex, aka insecure people. It's an attention seeking choice and also just not very interesting. Everyone has a Rolex you see them all the time. Everybody knows what a Rolex is therefore it's what you go for when you want people to notice you. It's a boring watch with a million lookalikes. The seamaster has the fun wave pattern, the helium escale valve, a display back, more interesting hands, cooler lume. It's a more interesting choice in every way. I also just don't like what Rolex as a brand stands for and represents, luxury should be attainable to anyone with the money. I should be able to walk into a Rolex boutique wearing cargo shorts and a slobby t shirt and if I have the money to pay for it should just be able to no questions asked, there shouldn't be a whole game of letting the sales representative just so you can get a (boring) watch. Rolex knows how to sell watches, omega knows how to make them.

>>18125501
I'm in a watch thread discussing watches, something I have an interest in.

>>18125567
>omega knows how to make them...
...all at least 3mm thicker and wider than they need to be.

>>18125481
Fun wave pattern, helium escape valve, display caseback... The seamaster is anything but boring. Of course it's predictable, because it's what the intelligent person would choose over a submariner. It's a way more interesting watch. Not everything is trying to be a submariner I don't understand why this thread worships Rolex, they aren't doing anything special, they just got proportions perfect.

>>18125572
Not everybody is a wristlet. I like the size of the seamaster and wouldn't want it to be any smaller. I'm not fucking gay I don't want to wear a small watch kek.

>>18125567
The anti rolex cope is hilarious. Never had to jump through a single hoop to purchase either of my two rolexes, other than wait 3 months for my explorer. I don't dislike your seamaster but the sub is superior in every way. Enjoy your fun wave pattern

>>18125580
It's not "cope" do you seriously not think if I wanted a Rolex I'd just get one? Why do you have this assumption that people HAVE to like Rolex because it's Rolex? It's odd being that much of a cuck for a brand. I don't get it. You had to wait 3 months to buy an explorer kek that is exactly what I mean, an explorer, not even a widely appealing model. You know they had one in the back the whole time they could've sold to you but they just like stringing you along and treating you like a dog, making you earn your treat. Get some dignity, it's embarrassing.

>Rolex vs Omega
Fucking hell, are you niggers for real? Did you learn about watches like 2 weeks ago?

>>18125584
explorer is such an NPC watch. You have an explorer I automatically think you are the most basic stuck in the matrix minded fool.

I'm an inspiring watch designer, rate my work.

>>18125598
This is my take on the infamous watchmaker's four.

>>18125591
>Fucking hell, are you niggers for real? Did you learn about watches like 2 weeks ago?
Omega owners are the easiest people to bait in the entire world of watches. Look at the essays they're writing.

>>18125574
>Fun wave pattern
a gimmick
>helium escape valve
a useless gimmick
>display caseback
Oh boy, lets make the watch thicker just to show off a minimal level of industrial grade finishing.

Is it just me or does lume feel like it doesnt work that well? Seems like when im in the dark they often arent really charged up enough to be very visible unless you go right from being in bright light to being in darkness.

>>18125593
I don't have an explorer the guy I was replying to does.

>>18125608
By that logic every single design language that isn't absolutely necessary is just a "gimmick" you are unironically a nigger kek. If you worry about thickness then you're a wristlet, man up.

>>18125572
>...all at least 3mm thicker and wider than they need to be.

Their case diameters aren't that bad. Omega is usually pretty good about offering multiple sizes of models and their short-lugged designs mean they always wear small.

Their thickness, though, is simply inexcusable.

The 1st gen Planet Ocean: 14mm, current gen. 17mm! And it's still got the same 600m water resistance.
Seamaster from the 90s: 12mm, current Seamaster: 14mm. Still the same 300m water resistance?

Why did they have to get thicker? The old ones used off-the-shelf movements. You'd think that, when they finally got to have "in-house" movements, they could have prioritized thinness.

>>18125584
>Get some dignity, it's embarrassing.
Says the one simping for a Chinese-made watch.

Rolex fanboys are having a meltdown, it's hilarious.

>>18125612
>Is it just me or does lume feel like it doesnt work that well? Seems like when im in the dark they often arent really charged up enough to be very visible unless you go right from being in bright light to being in darkness.

When you come from outside into a slightly darkened room, it will always look like it only glows brightly for a few minutes and then fades.
When you're in total darkness and your low-light vision is sharp, you'll find that even small amounts of lume are a lot brighter than you think.

I can never see my DateJUST's lume during the day, but at night, if I want to check the time I can read it as easily as if the light was on.

>>18125627
>Rolex fanboys are having a meltdown, it's hilarious.
It's sad how much you need this to be true.
But at least you're making the thread fun.

>>18125626
That's kind of neat. Is it ceramic like the other Rados?

(Also, too bad Rado is a brand for poos)

>>18125591
>>Rolex vs Omega
>Fucking hell, are you niggers for real? Did you learn about watches like 2 weeks ago?
Omega has not been comparable to Rolex for decades.

The correct brand to compare Omega to these days is Tudor and I'll be the first to say that, on balance, Omega does a lot of things way better than Tudor, even if Tudor is the better value.

>>18125657
I first came across LIDL on a surfing trip to Newquay in 2000. I remember walking around with my pals just cracking up at all the product names. I've never set foot in a LIDL since, I'm an Aldi man.

Omega is easy.
>pre-Swatch era good
>Swatch era bad
That's literally all you need to know. The only cool watch from their current catalog was made before Swatch even existed.
Just look at all the insane models they've released between the 1950s and the 1970s: Seamaster Chronograph (same movement as the Speedmaster), Chronostop, Memomatic, Constellation Pie Pan, Seamaster 60, Geneve Dynamic... You can't go wrong with vintage Omega.
Imagine buying a modern Seamaster over this, lmao. People are retarded. I won't complain though, more vintage Omega for me.

>>18125642
This thing is weird but i dont hate it. Feels like it should be hours, min, seconds though

>>18125529
Very comfy essence bracelet has half links and a single micro adjust point. Uses screws so you can remove links yourself. Never pinches my arm hair

the only chinese shitter brand that matters

>>18125608
I like display backs they are neat

>>18125626
Would be better with minute indicies

>>18125645
Very nice.
How much was it?
And how's the accuracy?

>>18125687
It's a shame China doesn't have any true luxury watch brands.

>>18125728
What's wrong with Omega...oh, wait, you said luxury. Nevermind.

>t. the guy you get your watch advice from

>>18125622
>>Why did they have to get thicker?
I think it's because of the coaxial technology?

>>18125763
I look like that and I give (good) watch advice

>>18125766
>I think it's because of the coaxial technology?
Not as much as you think. The new in-house co-axial calibers aren't appreciably thicker than the equivalent Rolex caliber.

The display casebacks are responsible for a lot of extra thickness, usually around 1.5-2mm but the real reason for the thickness is just design. Making a thicker watch is easier than making a thin watch and sales wouldn't be affected one way or another.

>>18125772
great accessory for your fedora

>>18125772
They're cool trinkets but I'd never buy one. I do appreciate looking at other peoples though

>>18125772
They're cool for their historical value, but actually carrying one is cringe.

gshock is a toy but rollies are even less accurate than gshocks

Which one of these for a good cheap everyday watch that looks decent.

Case - Citizen scratchproof titanium
Band - Citizen scratchproof titanium with easier to manage normal clasp instead of the butterfly
Finish - surprisingly Citizen
Movement - Tissot 80 hours of power
Design - Tissot but the dial on the Citizen looks good
Swiss Made moniker
Price - Citizen $400 vs $600+

>>18125148
There's something off about this GMT. The rehault looks 'messed' with. The box also looks kinda weird, where did you get it?

>>18125660
Woah, this is the first Chopard I'd allow myself to be seen wearing.

>>18125640
Price wise yes, Tudor is a better comparison. However, for almost half the price of the submariner omega offers something that is as good if not better. What does the submariner actually do better than the seamaster other than "muh Rolex"? When you ignore brands and focus on product itself Rolex is really not worth it. You're paying close to half that price for brand alone, and it comes with the added bonus of making you look like an asshole to most people actually worth knowing kek.

>>18125850
>What does the submariner actually do better than the seamaster other than "muh Rolex"?
Isn't that enough? The value retention alone is basically always worth it. It's good to know if you ever wanted to trade it for something else you could do so very quickly and easily and losing very little of what you paid.

>>18125669
>Gay strap
>Ugly case
>Orange second hand
>Boring dial
>Boring hands
>Shit looking tachymetre

>>18125853
Why would I want to trade it? Why would I buy a watch with the second hand value in mind? Isn't that just admitting defeat?
>"This thing isn't even good enough that I don't know if I'll want to keep it"
I buy a watch forever. I buy a watch to scratch the fuck out of and enjoy and be there on my wrist for important moments in my life. Selling the watch isn't even something that crosses my mind. Why would I sell my watch for something else? Doesn't that defeat the point of building a collection? If I need to get rid of something I like for something I like better, then it's not worth it.

>>18125855
I don't give a fuck what youndo or don't want to do. It is LITERALLY valuable to buy watches that don't lose value, objectively. Of course you don't want to sell it, but if for some reason you needed to you could, and the money you spent probably appreciated more than if you let it sit in your bank account or even in a pot of inventment accounts.

>>18125857
If you're buying watches as a store of value you're retarded lmao. It's a luxury good, you buy it to go lavish on something and treat yourself. You don't buy expensive clothes thinking about the "resale value". It's just a broke nigger way to think. Spend on something you actually like for what it is, not because "oh I might be broke and need to sell it". Why even factor that into it? It's not an investment. Why would I spend a fuck ton more on a watch I don't like, that portrays an image about me that I don't like, that I don't enjoy or feel any interest in. Just so that when I inevitably realise it's not a good purchase and not what I'm happy with, I can make my money back. When I could just not be a nigger about it and actually think about what I want and will always want. Kek it just makes no sense to me. If you're thinking about holding the value of your watch, it's a pretty good sign that you shouldn't be buying that watch and you're nervous about it.

>>18125505
Is your bracelet tight enough? No quick adjust or something?

>>18125540
No way did this dude just call a chronomaster a Daytona cope. Fucking KEK. Learn your watches my nigger. The original daytonas literally used the el primero movement.

>>18125862
If you paid a million dollars for a house and then its value fell to $200k would you bot be upset?

>>18125722
the quartz version in the pic gains 1 sec per month, you can find one with minor scratches for sub $1000 from japanese sellers on chrono24. the automatic version costs $300 more on average.

>>18125872
Are you retarded? A house and a watch are two completely different things. The reality of owning a house is that there is a good chance you will move again and so will want the value back for when you move. That's a completely different comparison. Are you mentally disabled or something?

>>18125887
Why is there a good chance you'll move again but not a good chance you'll want a different watch?

>>18125891
Because owning another watch is a much smaller purchase than another house. And a house is a necessity. A watch isn't. If I need to sell a watch I like to get another watch, it's a sign I shouldn't get that watch. How can you not see the difference? It's fucking obvious.

>>18125903
Considering how much sex that guy has, it's probably true.

>>18125872
The inflation of home prices largely comes due to the inflation of the value of the land they are on. This is very different from an object like a watch that does not grant you 'ownership' of specific land. You can very easily loose money building a mcmansion in some random low value area. You can just as easily make a lot of money buying a decapitated house in an up an coming city.

>>18125855
>I buy a watch to scratch the fuck out of and enjoy and be there on my wrist for important moments in my life. Selling the watch isn't even something that crosses my mind.
This guy gets it. You don't buy a tailored suit thinking of the next guy that will be wearing it.

Everybody knows that you loser. The daytona is just better

>>18125937
I both judge nappers for their weak resolve and am jealous they are able to do so. Takes me at least 30-60min to even fall asleep. I have a lot of napper friends

>>18125939
I'm kinda jealous of them but at the same time I'm not. Like you, there is no point in taking a nap because, the time a usual nap lasts, is the time it would take me to fall asleep, at least 60 minutes. I know people who can (literally) sleep within 5 to 10 seconds. For fucks sake.
If I had three wishes, one of them would be to able to sleep on demand like these "people" do.
Why I'm not jealous about them is that, the majority of these fast sleepers never have dreams, to the point where it's hard for them to even grasp what a dream is. One even thought it was just a Hollywood thing [Dreaming].
The other reason why I wouldn't want to be them is that, how boring and carefree must your life be to not have any overthinking going on before you go to bed? This implies that somebody else js doing the thinking for them- the rest of where I'm going with this, you can probably imagine.
And before a napper jumps to his (its) defense, no, it's not the phone, I'm in my 30s, I had this "problem" since childhood.

I can't decide between the Zenith chronomaster original and the Milgauss. The Milgauss is around ¥100k cheaper, too. But I really want a good chronometer and there's not really room for another sporty daily in my collection.

>>18125728
I like these, even mort has one.

>>18126032
These are neat.
I wish Atelier Wen still made their porcelain dials instead of only doing the Perception.

I bought a Seiko 5 Automatic a couple of years ago as my starter watch and while I thoroughly enjoy wearing it, I want to diversify my collection.

I'm pretty active; I don't wear my watch to the gym but I do like to wear it to the beach or hiking, etc. Day-to-day workwear is just a hair above biz casual - dress shirt, tie, slacks, clean sneakers. There are occasions where I'm required to put on dress shoes and blazer up, though they don't come up THAT often. Outside of work my style is clean and simple, largely white/grey tones with no/minimal print, t-shirts, slacks, casual athletic shoes; this year I've decided to start buying more black clothes, too.

I'm thinking one of two things - a brightly-colored, chunky G-Shock to sharply contrast with my usual casual wear (probably in red since it's my favorite color) and then ONLY wear that watch outside of work, or another steel bracelet but slightly more higher end model that I can wear anywhere. I don't like gold or leather straps.

Budget up to $800-1000, but I live in Japan so some things might be cheaper or more expensive here.

Thoughts?

>>18126042
>but I live in Japan
I happen to live here too. I know all the places basically. We can arrange a meeting. I'm currently on watch hunt too.

>>18126042
What's your budget? If you're going with an automatic, the only decent sub-$1000 option would be the Citizen NB1050. Seiko automatic movements suffer from terrible QC.

>>18126049
My bad, I didn't read the last part.

>>18125811

>>18125810
depends if you want an eco drive or automatic bro. with eco drive, you'll only need to adjust per month (day/date/second hand) when needed. citizen seems to be a more 'mature-looking', sleeper model and not too fancy. prx had the share of hype, also has replaceable straps.

What watches do your colleagues at work have? Do you talk watches with them?

Colleagues had a Omega Seamaster, Rolex Datejust, Raymond Weil Taccota, Cartier Panthere, Oris Atelier and a Rolex Deepsea.

>>18126155
>dont care, still got a rep, may get a genuine omega in the future though since you know chink factories actually have more trouble cloning omega modles as opposed to muh rollys
Which is odd because Omegas are made in China.

>>18126158
Less demand = less incentive to create good fakes. Rolex is the most in demanded watch brand in the world.

>>18126164
That's true. Omega has been dropping in popularity. They are now number 3 behind Cartier.

>>18126165
They've never been as popular as rolex. I recall circa 2008 when I first took an interest in watches that there were no "good" omega fakes at all, but there were fake rolex models that you had to watch out for unless you were sure you knew your shit.

>>18126168
>[omega has] never been as popular as rolex
Do you possibly want to rephrase that for clarity and accuracy?

>>18126122
>What watches do your colleagues at work have?
The majority of them gave up wearing a watch when they started carrying a phone. Many of the younger guys have never really worn a watch at all.

Of the ones that do wear watches, the Apple watch is the most popular.

There are a small handful of enthusiasts/collectors. Mostly Rolex and Cartier. One VC (worn by the director). Some Omegas and Breitlings. One guy is really into JLC and has like a dozen of them of various ages.

>Do you talk watches with them?
We don't talk about our own watches. That would be idiotic.

Usually if it comes up at all, it's because someone read about some crazy complication or super thin, million-dollar hyperwatch.

>>18126175
>We don't talk about our own watches. That would be idiotic.
Lol, right.
"Yep, it's a Datejust. I can see it right there on your wrist. Same place it was yesterday."
No different than people here who just keep spamming pics of their watches as if that does anything beyond increment the thread's post count and annoy people.

Back in the /g/ days, at least there was more discussion of beat rates, lift angles, case construction, and so forth. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than the shit-hole it's become.

What do you guys know about vintage rolexes? My wife just got this from her grandma who recently passed. It's 14k. I think it looks pretty classy and thankfully it fits her perfectly

>>18126127
Those are cool. I think the anchor logo actually swings around, which is neat.
I do wish that it didn't say "Captain Cock" on the dial, though.

Other than that, though, it's a good size, and a nice clean skin diver style watch.

>>18126191
50s and 60s ladies watches are not as well documented as the more popular men's watches.
A Rolex-specific forum might have more information on the model number, year of production, and movement.

>>18126195
>I think the anchor logo actually swings around, which is neat.
yeah it does, it would be cool if it actually had a function, like a power reserve or something

>>18126198
Thanks bud I'm gonna look for one.

Why do I like vintage watches so much? I really don't like most modern watch designs. I've heard vintage watches are a terrible buy though and are too expensive to maintain.

>>18126237
They look very classy. I feel like the vintage aesthetic is coming back

>>18126237
This is beautiful, i like tuxedo dials.

>>18126237
>Why do I like vintage watches so much?
I can't speak for you but vintage watches, to me, feel more honest. Back before the 1980s, watchmakers were experimenting with new designs because they were actually building new things.

Think of all the wild dive watch styles from the 60s. They weren't just making crazy things for their own sake, the industry was actively trying to figure out what a dive watch was supposed to be, how it looked, how it functioned.
The same with travel watches. In the 60s, all of a sudden, normal people could easily travel across timezones, not just pilots, so the watch industry had to figure out how to make a useful travel watch for the everyday wearer.

Nowadays, everything is so "vintage inspired", which means it just ends up being a copy of a copy. The only new things that anyone is building is some insanely complicated thing for millionaires to store in their safes.
No one is building anything that does anything new.

>I've heard vintage watches are a terrible buy though and are too expensive to maintain.
Yes and no. There can be good buys out there if you discover some undervalued piece, or if you find a buyer who doesn't know what he's selling. (I got a beautiful pre-Richemont Paris dial Cartier Tank Louis for 1.5k USD a few years ago because the guy selling it thought it was a regular, shitty Must de Cartier Tank.)

The difference with vintage watches is that it requires you to do a ton of homework. You have to be an expert on what you're buying or you're going to get hosed. Either overpaying for something, or buying a piece that's so fucked it can't be repaired.
That's why vintage Rolex and Omega are so popular. They're huge brands that have a ton of info out there on just about any reference. But if you want to look for more obscure stuff, like, say, vintage Ulysse Nardin, doing your research is going to be very difficult.

>>18126237
>I've heard vintage watches are a terrible buy though and are too expensive to maintain.
I bought a Seiko from 1964 4 years ago, serviced it (140€ in total) and it's been working fine since then.

>>18126237
Watches are crap nowadays. More attention was given to watches as most people used one. Now only a small minority of people actually wear watches and they are essentially useless tech as everyone has a phone on them.

>>18126188
>Back in the /g/ days, at least there was more discussion of beat rates, lift angles, case construction, and so forth. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than the shit-hole it's become.
The covid-era watch investment craze has damaged all watch related discussion beyond repair.

>>18126237
people who simp for vintage are either coping poors who can't afford a half decent new watch, or lardasses who never go outside and never wash themselves, or both

the amount of aftercare that goes into vintage neckbeardery is absolutely insane and nobody with a few pennies to rub together would go for it

>>18126270
It's not just that. It's the mindset of the /g/ poster vs the /fa/ poster.
They're both autistic, but one is going to be posting long screeds about an F-91w's circuit diagram, the other will just post dozens of pointless of pics of "my watch with food" or "my watch with pet" or "my watch with sex toy".
>B-but it's a watch thread, I'm just posting watch pics, why are you getting upset?

The most active posters here barely know enough about watches to tell the time on them so the discussion boils down to aesthetics and attempts at flexing.

>>18126272
Lawd give me the strength not to call him too fat and american to wear anything below 42mm

>>18126287
nta but having lived through the early /g/ watch thread days I can promise you that nobody knew anything about watches in those threads either, it was all virtue signaling abotu "horological virtue" and "in house", and there were no circuit diagrams, at all, you are delulu. the main distinction was a greater hostility to "fashion watches" and everyone was all over orient's dick back then (you never heard anyone mention orient anymore)

>>18126288
yeah most of the time the vintage watch cope is just people who can't afford a high enough quality watch where the brand is putting out new watches under 40mm, so they have to buy rusted out cope watches from 1950 because "dey don't makeum like dey yousta" (translation: if I bought new all I can afford is invicta)

>>18126287
>imagine flexing on a Mongolian basket weaving forum

>>18126288

I can empathize with >>18126272 to some extent.
The term "vintage" has been co-opted to mean anything old.

Nowadays you've got some kid who buys a beat-up old franken-Air King and talks about his vintage Rolex.
That's not the same thing as someone who is really interested in and collects Rolex triple calendar Oysters, for example.

Actual vintage watch discussions tend to be centered around a specific model that the all the people involved in the discussion are interested in. It gets extremely autistic when talking about movement updates and dial variations.

>>18126289
Just say you like it better here.

>>18126289
>having lived through the early /g/ watch thread days
Hmm...that's weird. You don't remember all the Casio modding threads or anons documenting working on their own watches?

>Computer

Pic related is a marvel of engineering but nobody will ever be genuinely impressed by it because our mind intuitively understands such a watch can only be done by a software. It's too way complex and at the same time perfectly executed to feel "human". That's why vintage watches are fun and interested, their imperfections remind us we used to make things in different ways back then.

By the way, CONSOOMERS like this retard >>18126272

White dials and blue dials are always my favorite I have 2 or 3 of each color dial now thinking I should get a Grand Seiko GMT with a black dial or maybe a green dial Breitling Premier next

>>18126361
Hey CornutoAnon. Which green Breitling? The pistachio dial or the emerald green sunburst?

I'm holding out to see if they make a Datora in the pistachio green, but I'm not holding my breath either.

>>18126369
Funny you mention the Datora that is the watch I would like to wear on my wedding day deciding between that or the new white speedmaster its just a funky price point for a Breitling almost rather grab a rolex but both ediitons steel/gold dial look so good on that brown leather with the salmon dial. Breitling has been giving every line a fresh look that is part of the reason why I did not pull trigger on it yet either never even thought they might through pistachio on that even if they dont and they stick with salmon dial on the datora is very nice. I would go sunburst on premier bc I like to change out the straps to give my watches a whole new look and you can go from steel to dark green to black and ever dark brown with the sunburst where the pistachio is pretty limited to just that light brown strap.

Vintage watches can be a good buy when you only buy running watches. I personally would never buy a vintage piece that isn't running.

>>18126551
Not sure about proper servicing,I noticed external finishing,maybe some light polishing,one hinge restoration,glass change. Movement apparently looks like new,although it has some random cloth fibers and I think I can see still wet oil,so it is not fully dried. The watch runs pretty well,some days at +30spd although I don't know its amplitude a and other stats,rhis summer I will get a proper timegrapher and once I get more used with watchmaking I will try to oil the watch if I see the insides are fully dried.

As another anon alluded to this thread or last, it's the nature of /fa/. The avatarfags don't actually know a fucking thing about watches except brand name, price, and a couple regurgitated bits of marketing.
/fa/ is all about aesthetics and flexing, so if you have an opinion on an expensive watch, you need to prove that you have a similarly expensive watch, otherwise your opinion is discarded as poorfag seething.

>>18127157
>t. waiting for black Friday yo save up 20$

is it worth spending money on an automatic watch if it isn't COSC / chronometer ?

>>18127174
>is it worth spending money on an automatic watch if it isn't COSC / chronometer ?

Maybe. A non-COSC/chronometer rated movement isn't necessarily guaranteed to to be inaccurate. Some companies, like JLC, for example, make very accurate watches but don't bother paying to have them chronometer certified. Other companies, like ALS, make very accurate watches, but can't submit their watches to COSC because they're not Swiss.

In either case, you can see what a company rates their movements' accuracy and precision. That's freely available data.

>>18127174
If you regulate the movement properly and take your time with it to get it as close to perfect as possible, you can get a cheap movement be at like +-10 seconds maybe even +-5

>>18127256
>it that makes it look like a whole new watch
Too bad it doesn't make it look good, though.

>>18127174
Sure.
Non-COSC watches are often as accurate. They have the exact same movements. They just haven't been double-checked at an extra cost of time and money by an observatory. Movement makers lowball accuracy figures on purpose so they can bail on warranty if your watch isn't perfectly accurate because "the specs say -/+15 sec/day lol" in case the operator had a bad day at work. If you get your watch serviced, or ask a competent watchmaker nicely, a typical modern movement can usually get COSC level regulation. Hell, some oldschool watchmakers will regulate in 6 positions instead of the typical 5 just because they can and so they can say they do a more thorough job than brand repair platforms.

>>18127258
Yeah, should have got a Sinn!! :(

>>18127256
A dark blue leather band would probably look best.

>>18127270
I did think about that I just did not think it looked dressy enough for a leather strap but maybe I will order a shit one online and see how it looks before committing to Breitling $800 leather/fold over clasp I want that Datora on the brown leather it always feels more appropriate too have a non sports watch with leather to me

The dude has a Breitling. What's the worst that could happen? That he continues to look like a retard?

>>18127319
>ETA-powered

Close but it is Breitling Manufacture Caliber B20 Cal. B20 is an automatic movement from Breitling, introduced in 2017.

Cal. B20 was introduced in 2017 and, although called “in-house” by Breitling, is based on the existing Tudor Cal. MT5612. Breitling has been very clear in this lineage, even specifically listing the Tudor movement number on which it is based in press releases. But the company persists in referring to the movement as “in-house” to differentiate it from other movements it uses from ETA or Sellita.

It is a mainstream automatic movement, including common features like central seconds and a conventional date wheel. Being a modern movement, it also has updated technology, including bi-directional winding, hacking seconds, instantaneous date change with crown-based quickset, and a variable-inertia balance with micro-adjustment by screw. Unlike the Tudor movement, it does not use a silicon balance spring.

>>18127349
Correct.
The 2007 generation of SuperOcena Heritage used an ETA 2824 (which Breitling called the Caliber 17). The second generation uses the Tooter movement.
The easiest way to tell them apart is the gen.1 has its date window at 3 o'clock and the gen.2 has its date window at 6.

Personally, I think Breitling is being deceptive by calling it "in-house" at the same time they admit it's a Tooter movement. It's like they're trying to trick ignorant buyers who don't know what in-house means.

It also makes the buyer dependent on Breitling for service, which is also a shitty move. Any watchmaker in the world can service in ETA 2824.

>>18127403
Gathering you are not a huge Tudor fan either
What are 2 brands do you own/like ?

>>18127420
I did an alternative, German version with VIER written there, but i find this one more artistic.

>>18127417
I don't like or dislike Tudor one way or the other. I just think it's funny to right Tooter instead of Tudor. Just like Homos instead of Nomos. Don't be so sensitive.

As for what I like:
I like JLC's movements, their designs less so.
I like pre-Richemont Vacheron. (i.e. JLC will better design)
I like Chopard's LUC line.
I like ALS, even though it's a zombie brand.

As for what I own, I'm pretty boring and limit myself to no more than two watches at any given time. Picrel is my "collection". I'm pretty happy with what it is and haven't considered getting a new watch for close to ten years now.

>>18127441

Ever time I shave, she says that I look better with a beard on. I like myself clean shaven but she clearly likes at least a bit of stubble. I can't grow a full beard, very patchy in the cheeks and jawline. I just saw a meme (not this one) and it just hit me like a truck, my mom calls me ugly

>>18125102
it's the opposite for me. Whenever I facetime my mom and she sees that I have facial hair she'll mention that I need to shave. She has always said that I look better clean shaven and I agree. Shaving takes me from a 6 to an 8.

>>18125102
Was your dad clean shaven or beardy? She either hate how you look like your dad or she had a weird attraction to you with beard


Can I wear low waist jeans or do they look bad on my body type?

LOW RISE BOTTOMS LOOK GOOD ONLY ON ECTOMORPHIC BODIES; YOUR BODY IS ECTOMORPHIC; THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE UNFIT.

I'm trying to gain weight for curves yea :s So you mean to say it would look better on me if I were more skinny? Or just if I had a more toned midriff?

«CURVES» ARE CONNATURAL TO THE PROPORTIONS OF YOUR SKELETON; BY ACCUMULATING ADIPOSE TISSUE, YOU WOULD JUST BE OBESE.

WHAT I MEAN TO SAY IS THAT YOU SHOULD GAIN MUSCLE MASS AND LOSE FAT; BEING OBESE, OR BEING «SKINNY», ARE TWO EXTREMES OF UNFITNESS.

>I'm ugly as hell and don’t look like a woman

Good job, most self aware tranny on here. Now let's go a couple steps further.
1: Why even post?
2: If you know you don't look like a woman, and the drugs aren't magically turning you into a woman, why pretend to be a woman? Just be a cute twink and you'll get topped left and right

>>18126255
Because I don’t feel like and don’t want to be a twink? I don’t want to be a man. I hate anything male about my body, my male name and male pronouns. If I could be a 10/10 twink or a 2/10 woman I would still choose the 2/10 woman. It’s about being comfortable in my skin, not getting topped

>2/10 woman I would still choose the 2/10 woman

But you repeatedly prove that you don't believe this because you bitch nonfuckingstop about how ugly of a woman you are.
If you're truly so happy being a woman and it's so much better, you wouldn't piss and moan about it all the time.

When trannies bitch about people not respecting them, this is one of the many, many reasons why. You contradict yourselves all the time and expect everyone else to just roll with it.

using a pre transition pic and a shitty older pic is pathetic don’t you think? Like are you afraid of showing a good pic of how I look now because it won’t convey the same message?

You look very y2k only the croptop looks good tho the other top looks weird tucked in

>>18129331
It’s not tucked in tho. I got the low rise pants later to fit the length of the black top and it matched this well

>>18125188
This is why white boys are inherently the most feminine race of men and make the best trannies/femboys

I trim my legs, arms, and chest at least once a month, and my pubes every few weeks. My armpits get razed once in a blue moon, usually depending on if I have nothing better to do in the shower.

This reminds me, I should get some shaving gel for the next time that I do shave them.

ugly guys and fashion

How do ugly guys escape the stigma of tryharding with fashion to compensate for their looks? Obviously they can't get away with sexcore, but are they doomed to generic jeans and T-shirts, or are their light notes of effort that aren't too cringey?

After I lost weight I started wearing slacks and just a plain, black t-shirt.
People have been complimenting my looks, but I'm not sure if it's just due to the weight loss, the way I dress or both.
I'm still ugly.

>>18124943

women think all men are ugly.

>>18124943
As an ugly guy all effort you make in your appearance will be seen as tryharding. Similar how any assertiveness will be seen as napoleon complex if you are short.
Sadly, if you're ugly you will look even uglier is nice clothes because of the contrast.

Have anyone tried bathtub soaking jeans?

Its supposed to make them fit better but you need to wear them in the tub for half an hour.

>>18125208
its a good way to avoid unsanforized jeans from shrinking too much.
i personally don't see a point to doing it with sanforized jeans, but people do it i guess.

>>18125208
My mom told me they did this when they were young because stretchy material wasnt around as much. Yours are too loose for that.

>>18125208
that's how i wash them, own two momotaros, takes about two days to dry in the humid mid atlantic, so don't do it if you need to wear it quickly, i also washed my first pair of momos in the ocean and sand washed the grub, obviously rinse with potable water

>>18125415
cloths that dry over the course of two days will stink.

If your jeans are unsaf you should soak them first so when you wash them they don't fuck up the fades etc.

I soak mine and then I let them dry for a bit and while they are damp I put them on and I do squats. Pretty autistic I admit. I only did that once when I first got them though


>>18122900 (OP)
Is it true that almost every other guy in America during that era had some variation of a mullet haircut? Was it really that popular?

Someone asked me a question so I answer it, since that thread went to archive. Being genuine 80's kid I can anwser, no, far from it. But every boy in my class had that McGyver hair in middle school, at the height of show's popularity.
There were actually plenty of older boomer guys walking around, still having seventies style semi-long combed down hair, mullet was direct reaction to that. But lots of young men from thirties and down had it, flat top was also popular, especially in summer months. Classic men's haircut also made big comeback, think of à la Gary Grant since 1930's nostalgia was in vogue.
Hope that answers your question.
Other genuine gen Xers feel free to confirm or deny my claims.

>>18125046
No, I am white European. We're basically same culture.

OP, men's hair in the 80s was basically 70s hair only shorter. Think Magnum PI or Jimmy Buffet. Of course pop stars had extravagant hairdos, a few outcasts might also, but your average Joe didn't.

Google "1985 yearbook" for examples.

>>18125047
They are only superficially similar.

>>18125051
Yep, I left out subcultures like punks or metalheads etc. From mid-eighies forwards everything was direct reaction to sombre and skeptical seventies. Loud colors, loud music, loud spending.

>>18125043
That guy is wearing ear ring on right ear, lol.

>>18125047
Eh
Euros tend to go for more extreme haircuts
Skin fades are more of a euro uk australis thing

the 80s is about two things, androgyny, and big hair

>HOW IS THAT RELATED TO HAVING A «WIDOW'S PEAK»?

It's about the overall appearance.

>>18125171
I do not have a widows peak but a moderate Norwood pattern similar to vegeta. I keep it medium-long length and part in the middle so the hair sort of drapes over the Norwood. I think it looks alright but it’s sucks if there’s wind blowing it out of place.

>>18125171

as long as its not severe, mild to moderate temple recession is considered highly desireable in male models and there's studies suggesting slight recession is more attractive to woman than a perfect hairline.

I'd say you should just own it. I have a round widows peak (I know I'm not receding because I've had this for my whole life so far and I still have my juvenile hairline) and I style my hair in a loose 70/30 part. Picrel is traced from an image of me. I use a medium-hold, low-shine styling clay and I really like how it looks.

>>18126982
it's temporary in the sense that it can be washed off, but it's not like a guide line that's supposed to be washed out before you step out of the shop. It looks good on black guys because they have thick dark hair so the line creates a sharp division that works with their skin tone, but this guys hair is lighter and sparser so it just appears artificially harsh and distracting. You also usually see them on the hairline where it frames the face rather than just cuts through it. Really weird decision desu though the guy does of course look better.

he doesn't, I've seen enough of you to know what a downy looks like, he isn't downs, he just looks retarded

not great advice, too many weird colors labeled as "navy" for this to be safe for someone who doesn't know suiting, and poplin is extremely wrijnkle prone, always better to go with charcoal and the shirt should be twill or maybe royal oxford (ROYAL not plain oxford or pinpoint)

recommend brands that aren’t garbage

Anonymous

I want to stop wearing garbage nike/adidas/north face, etc clothes that are low quality and made with child labour as my default going out clothes. I want to wear stuff that is made with more care and has a homemade feel to it and looks minimal, not a massive brand name or picture. Small businesses preferred.

>>18125738
where are you in the world buddy?

>>18125738
japanese brands.
they tend to be fully vertically first world unlike the majority of made in usa labels. meaning the threads, buttons, rivets, textile, was all grown mined and made in first world countries. often times they'll tell you exactly where.
some good made in usa and made in italy labels still exist. especially with leather goods. but the western garment industry is rapidly going in the gutter as the boomers age out of the industry. no millenials learning tailoring or shoemaking etc to carry the torch so all these brands are going to shit.
jap clothes tend to be suited for skinny to athletic and shorter builds. but there's stuff for tall guys and fat guys too.

>>18125818
On men? Fuck yeah. On women? Hell no.


Be honest /fa/, is this thing effay?

I personally think it's eccentric in a good way. It's just as unnecessary as phones having glass backs. It has its own motif going own and it changes the way iPhone looks more than any full on case. <br>I just want a reality check, maybe I do have a bad taste and this bumper is just weird.

I mean it looks alright but I wouldn't get it for myself. I think a phone case should protect the entire phone not just the edges. Doesnt matter if its a $1,000 lamb pussy leather case hand stitched by a Tibetan artisan or some $13 Chinese clear plastic case with a bunch of Hello Kitty stickers the owner put on it. It looks a bit try-hard.

>>18125807
Thanks for telling it like it is, it is indeed not very utilitarian. But I'm not worried about practicality at all, I mostly go caseless, and just dig the look of it.

>>18125814
>I mostly go caseless, and just dig the look of it.
Then get it, at the end of the day the only person whose opinion should matter is your own.

>>18125791
When I own a phone past the 2 mark I take the case off so that I can “enjoy” the design as it was intended without feeling bad about scratching or dinging it. I keep my screen protector on though.

I would totally rock that when I do my switch over, but not before. If you don’t care about damaging your phone, go for it.

>>18125791
>drop phone on stairs or near a single step
>it's fucked
lol

>>18126120
I've literally never dropped my phone and like I said I only want this for aesthetics.
The only protection I expect from it is maybe not scratching the screen or the cameras when I put the phone down

>Derby shoes too casual for formal wear
>Black shoes too formal for casual wear
So why the fuck do black derbies exist?

your idea of formal was the equivilant of going out in sweat pants and a hoodie 100 years ago.
the two piece suit we wear for "formal" dress was historically called a leisure suit, you'd wear one to relax in when you weren't in morning dress or black tie.
it wasn't uncommon to hang on to older suits that were a little too tattered to wear in town and use them as gardening clothes.

WHY ARE AVTOMATA SO AFRAID OF THE COLOUR BLACK?

Anonymous

>>18125841
because these "rules" you hear from (((influencers))) are all bullshit

>>18125841
Honestly, black should be the go-to color for both semi-casual and formal outfits. Brown is scientifically the least appealing color, and saying it “goes with everything” is just cope stemming from the fact that for so long brown was the only affordable color of leather.

>>18125841
If you think black shoes don't work with casual fits you are unbelievably retarded and have no concept of fashion so congrats I guess you'll fit in perfectly here.

Black boots, black tennis shoes, black loafers, black plain toe blutchers, black tyrolean meme shoes aka Paraboots and the like, black suede shoes, etc all work great with casual fits. Just because your imagination is dead and you can't think creatively for a whole five seconds doesn't mean something is a (((fact))). Black works great with casual, always has.

And don't give me the
>ACHTKUALLY black means formal!!!!

Because it doesn't. It applies to a very specific style of dress with suits, tuxedos, smoking jackets, etc the whole "black tie" dress code.
Are black leather jackets, jeans, t-shirts, flannel shirts,chore coats or fatigues formal? No they aren't. Even black suits aren't always formal, black linen, seersucker and cotton suits are pretty casual.

I found a ring

It says 925 8 on the inside of the band. Are these real diamonds?

>>18125927
925 means it's 92.5% sterling silver, 8 refers to the ring size

>>18125927
If I ever ask a girl to marry me I’m going to give her a really, really cheap symbolic ring. She doesn’t even need to use it afterwards or she can buy something else. If she refuses I know that she’s not the one for me and I’m better off without her.

>>18125927
Maybe now you can buy an iPhone

>>18126804
Get her a nice looking one with a lab grown diamond for a fraction of the price that still looks the part.

>>18125927
No one answered your question. If it's only silver, the diamond is most likely not real. The smaller ones might be as they are inexpensive at lower qualities... But my guess is still not real. General rule of thumb, if it's gold the diamonds have a good chance of being real. Silver, most likely not. You can get it tested very easily at any jewelry store, or even buying a diamond tester online.


how do you take better photos?
i had to take some headshots for my internship and i took like 140 photos of myself and maybe 7 of them were actually okay.

apparently, pushing your jaw out and down is a big deal. also, taking photos from lower angles, and better lighting. but i don't know what to do with with the rest of me. i don't think i'm capable of smiling convincingly. i don't know how to pose for stuff on my own or in a group.
i was at a festival a few months ago and took loads of pictures of myself and my friends and i don't like any of them. i've been wanting to do tinder stuff again but i don't have any good pictures so i just haven't.
do i just do it more and eventually i'll figure out what looks good? or are there best practices for this?

Fashion, Fashionism, Aesthetics, Art, Good Will

Nabucco, o Galeco

Part one.

 In our time, the false idea that fashion is restricted to fads and the furore of momentary trends is becoming less and less common, as the general disillusionment with the market and the fashion industry, which progressively includes in the qualities of the nature of that which highlights the most innocuous, empty and narcotic elements imaginable. This, the issue of crude aesthetics as well as pretentious and equally low-brow cleanliness, added to the discontented terror of elite creationism that was taken over by a sense of disillusionment and programmed subversion.
 Programmed, in the sense of not being authentically artistic subversion, that is, produced according to the serious contextual needs and ambitions of an artist or a group of them, but rather as a creative template imposed by financiers, aiming at certain agendas of an ideology which concerns machinations about the destruction of ancient values and the introduction of their nullified or demiurgic equivalent, the opposite (note the abysmal differentiation in the evolutionary line of fashion on one side of the 20th century compared to the other - the second, be purposefully polar to the first).
 And I, what I want to say once I say that the public has become disillusioned with fashion is rightly demonstrated by the long-term effects of this.

To be continued...

Two.

 It is assumed that one fails to find in what would be the angles of greatest proficiency in beauty, charm, grace and elegance what one would look for by going there (beauty, charm, grace and elegance). These traits bring a certain prestige and relevance to an environment, and proof that haute couture, in separating itself from such, has lost its respect and even, to a large extent, its respectability, presents itself to us as an indication that These will be perennial ideals for fashion because it is one of the forms of art; For the public, as a rule, beautiful and graceful art is considered meritorious.

 Instead, there is overwhelming disformity and experimentalism that almost makes us think we have joined the screening of a silent impressionist film from the 1920s when intending to go to a haute couture salon in the capitals of what was once the big fashion market.

 In our time, it has been observed, in this example, that even this vaunted great fashion of the past concerned other machinations, and other visions, which goes on to emphasize that all fashion production has, in effect, carried within itself a way to, you see, form individuals - shape them into an orbiting construct of certain ways of being, ideals, conceptions: current values.

To be continued...

Final.

 And especially in industrial fashion this can be observed, given the ease of monopolizing what one wears, the way one presents oneself, hence deriving yet another instrument for manipulating in dynamic rotation all these intuited values, all at will. sponsors' pleasure.

 Once we have not only perceived this process, as understood, but put too much into the blatant examples of what it is like, we seek, as it were, to become alienated from it, and aim for a modality of fashion in which we propose to express the individual, in which again (finally resumed!) qualities such as rigor and substances such as harmony are taken as parameters.

 Of course, subverting beauty is important even in the process of its broader understanding, and of course, it is important that the values corresponding to a people or society are expressed in their normal clothing as a sense of the whole of that organism. However, it seems to me that the problem lies in how the set of things, the clothes themselves, have been articulated by those who articulate, which is not (perhaps also because of this [being directly articulated]) constructed in a cyclical way, which is not appropriate either. And this degenerates not only the quality of fashion, not only its current proposal, not only the profitable or reasonable chosen field of action for its creators, but also and mainly the opinion that is made about it, FASHION TODAY (!!!).

 It remained in this growing range of reactions, reconsiderations, rejections, proving its foundation apart from tendencyism, utilitarianism, and even the class panorama. Proof was highlighted that its nature is, above all else, aesthetics.
 We will proceed on this.

TL;DR faggot

theres being actually eloquent and then theres just being completely obtuse
it is possible to write simpler and convey just as much

Fashion has always been capricious, the intended audience was always those with more money than sense. If you're part of the social group that needs new garments for this season, you'd like to find something beautiful but new or different must often suffice.

Style, on the other hand, is eternal so quality pieces that appear beautiful can be the goal.

I appreciate your attempt op.
Unfortunately most of the subhumans reading this are amerilards, meaning not only low reading comprehension skills but also much lower iq than others in what we refer to as 'developed' nations.
Next time try limiting your vocabulary to the most basic commonly used terms, restrict words to 1-2 syllables and don't construct sentences longer than one line of text.
Or just ignore these retarded faggots.
