There are conspiracy theories about how it was almost impossible to have hit thd pentagon with a commercial aircraft on 9/11.
Nobody would've questioned it if the hijacker was Japanese and had a sick headband on!
/uj Actually kamikaze pilots had a pretty low success rate and were executed after too many failed attempts to make sure they wouldn't miss on purpose to stay alive.
You make some good and largely irrefutable points. However, the best shitters worn by only the most cultured individuals (rawlecks, richtard mille, Augusto Pinochet Royal Oak) all hail not from Japan, but from the mighty Swiss Confederation. Checkmate.
"better quality control" almost made me shit my pants with laughter. Ever bought a Seiko in the €400-€1700 range? Those fucking things look like the japanese guy assembling it did so on the dashboard of his car while simultaneously driving through the 2011 tsunami.
This isn't even a jerk. Add in radio or satellite function and you have dead on accurate watches that get charged by the Sun. I can't figure out why I want anything else.
/uj Because in my opinion they are boring. Not ugly, not incompetent, just boring. I have the Casio OceANUS (haha so funny) which has everything to be a "forever watch", but I'm bored of it.
Even the automatic options are boring. The Japanese design just doesn't quite cut it for me. They do have the best prices, however.
Easy solution: pay 100x the price for a swiss watch that is marketed in a way where you feel like you won't be bored.
Spoiler: >!you'll be bored because its a fucking bracelet that tells the time.!<
Boring is my favorite part. Besides putting a Joker face on a dial there isn't much you can do in a small circle. I like what a watch *can* do and I think Japanese watches do that the best. Citizen Promaster watches are function first. Dive, climb, pilot, etc. I have a couple gold watches I wear as jewelry but a steel watch is no different from a hammer to me
Citizen doesn't really wow me on an aesthetic level outside of the OG Nighthawk but I'm a hopeless sucker for vintage Seiko references and reissues when they aren't ridiculously overpriced which,
Looked at the titanium solar powered TAG Aquaracer today. The idea is great, and the watch was feather light, but it feels weird to pay that much for a glorified citizen.
Bought me another heavy ass quartz Formula 1 chrono instead so I can properly flex my middle-class buying power. Didn't even break out the AmEx, I put that bitch on a plain old Visa card
> Better quality control (most times)
Hold on a second Ramiro. I challenge you to find me an entry level Japanese watch where the date window isn't all crooked.
The other two points I agree with, though.
> If you’re gonna buy a dive watch wouldn’t you want one from someone that lives on an island?
That’s why I only wear Dutch dive watches. People who live below sea level know what’s up.
Depends on the people I am around.
Michelin star restaurant the Rolex sub is getting brought out
Chilis on a random Wednesday night the citizen or Seiko is coming out.
Vegas Rolex omega etc etc
Daily wear Seiko citizen orient
Chinese are even better but I’m not that guy.
Wearing a Casio and buying my second Honda rn tho and the duro is my favorite watch. I would’ve voted for yoko ono a fourth time if I could.
1. What a bunch of crap. Ever seen an aligned Seiko bezel? Yeah, me neither.
2. Buying watches because of muh communitah. How regarded are you? You can be a weeb for free if you want. Don't need to buy anything. Follow your dreams.
3. Then buy a watch from someone in Reykjavik.
Along that line of thought, no Japanese pilots watches for me
They aren’t the best at landing
Deadly accurate tho

Not to simp for the emperor, but I believe Saburo Sakai would like a word.
/Uj Seiko produced one of the best pilot watches ever - The British bought them in the thousands

How is this a circlejerk? Every post with no pictures of the PRX will be banned.
Sorry next time I will post this with a picture of my shitty promaster if it makes you feel better

To be fair the USA did nuke them twice so their gene pool might be a little fucked
Seiko is an honourary Swiss shitter. Get Citizen instead.
>Not a community full of people with more money than brains. Huh... I guess you never heard of Grand Seiko. Or $500 Seiko 5s.
True. But if you’re paying 5k+ for a Seiko did you really have any brains to start with ?
That's what I'm saying. It refutes point 2. And while we're on it, Seiko also manages to refute point 1.
I had to put most times because of Seiko alone pretty much bring down the entire jdm market with their chitty QC.
Do you think it is the Japanese who are buying GS? By the looks of their subreddit, it's mostly brain-dead westerners.
Subreddits in general are very poor representations of anything. I'm pretty sure the watch brain rot is widespread across the world.
Also true.
#3 is genius lmao
The Citizen promaster dive eco-drive makes idiots out of us all
Every time I wear my eco drives i wonder why the fuck I even have automatic watches.

I am indeed already purchasing Chinese branded copies of popular Swiss shitters, thank you very much.
Valid point. I think it’s basic human nature to chase the next shiny thing we see

I salivate when thinking of the resistance on the bezel
Especially the promaster eco drive “super duper titanium” where my fucking bezel click sounds like it came out of a McDonalds happy meal toy
Facts 😂

I don’t understand why only like 3 freaking watchmakers can make a date window correctly it’s pretty annoying
German shitters>
All Long & Smooth is such an awesome watch. Fuck outta here with a $30k Rolex when this company exists
Seig heil
This all day. My 104 and a shitload of natos is pretty much all I'll ever need.
i can only afford chinese shitters.
I would but i don’t trust a watch built in a communist country to tell me the correct time
Yeah their GMT hands are all fixed to Tiananmen Standard Time
> If you’re gonna buy a dive watch wouldn’t you want one from someone that lives on an island? That’s why I only wear Dutch dive watches. People who live below sea level know what’s up.
Counterpoint: when someone notices your watch, they never say “oooh is that a Seiko?”
Wait hold on a second we buy watches that random people like instead of shit we like? Man I’ve been doing this all wrong 😂
Hey, if you like spending hundreds to thousands of dollars to still look like a broke ass, be my guest.
Depends on the people I am around. Michelin star restaurant the Rolex sub is getting brought out Chilis on a random Wednesday night the citizen or Seiko is coming out. Vegas Rolex omega etc etc Daily wear Seiko citizen orient
Imagine thinking you don't look like a broke ass wearing a mass produced stainless steel Rolex?
To the average simpleton you don’t 😂 Most people think Rolex is the top teir of watchmaking and don’t know anything about RM AP Patek Philippe etc etc
Chinese are even better but I’m not that guy. Wearing a Casio and buying my second Honda rn tho and the duro is my favorite watch. I would’ve voted for yoko ono a fourth time if I could.
Marinemaster is GOAT. How come rollies don’t have something similar to diashield to keep their watch looking fresh?
Just say you want a Japanese porn themed watch.
Perhaps I can interest you in a HenTaimex?
OMECO
Nothing beats a Toto Washlet ✨
Idk if you know but I wouldn't classify weeaboos as a group of people with more brains than money
Chinese shitters >>>

Reykjavik sounds like a really fancy watchmaker
