Weiss Field Watch

Pic is when I first got it. It went for it's second flight on a CH-53E today. Would have taken a pics but both flights this week were night goes. Overall the band has darkened A LOT from the near constant stream of hydraulic oil dripping on me in flight. Whole thing got soaked in jet fuel today too.

Tough watch. 10/10 best $950 I've spent in a long time.

Side note: The vibrations from a 53 spinning make it run fast. 4hrs of flight make for a +1m difference.

nevar forget

oy OP i saw your post, ahem, elsewhere, what the fuck do you do to make money

If a CH-53E isn't leaking than it means she has run out of oil and you're about to die. It is why we have a manual in flight oil top off pump for the hydrualics and an in flight wobble pump for the engines (they burn a small amount of their oil).

She is basically state of the art 1960's tech, designed in the 70's, built in the 80's, and is still somehow managing to fly today.

What's the point? Can't your subordinates work on their own? Can't you delegate stuff? How old are you? 25 or something? Working 14 hours a day (if it's all real productive work) is unhealthy as fuck, and you don't spend time with your family at all.

Hope it pays well and you can buy yourself a Voutilainen or something to compensate.

>>10446529

Well, I was longing for Stowa Antea, actually. The only other Nomos I could realistically plan for would be Ahoi Atlantik, but
- it'd be the only watch this year
- it's 40 mm and I prefer smaller watches
- I also want something toolish and small on a metal bracelet, that'd be Sinn 556I, better Sinns are bigger

They don't sell Minimatik just yet.

I think I should have got myself the Datum though. Nomos gets the date indicator right.

It's really important that I know what watch this is. Also that I'm posting this in a proper thread but eh. Halp

what makes a watch good, they all look pretty much the same above 100 bucks

There's also this, but for 150~ id recommend getting something besides a timex.

why do you faggots waste so much money on expensive watches? just go to a fossil store or some other watch store and pick one that matches with your /fa/ attire

>>10447384
you could literally say the same thing about every article of clothing that isn't an absolute basic

some people like certain watches, just like some people like certain shoes, just like some people like certain cars. Spend money on what you like.

>>10447408
>you could literally say the same thing about everything
no, you cannot.
a watch is a fucking watch, absolutely useless other than matching with an outfit and as a fashion piece. it serves no function that your phone cannot do.
There is ZERO reason to spend thousands on a watch. they're just more durable and higher quality but who gives a fuck about quality on a WATCH?

spending more money on shoes is vital for comfort, fit, and look. a million dollar gold rolex looks just like any other cheaper gold plated watch.

buying thousand dollar designer clothing is just as stupid as expensive watches and neither of those people post here. even then, clothes go through a hell of a beating from washing to fading to ripping if its low quality, all kinds of things. watches don't. I've had an 80 dollar watch for 8 years and still works and looks amazing

a rolls royce is A MILLION TIMES different than a fucking honda or some other piece of shit. far more comfortable, powerful, with more features, professionally done, and makes a much bigger wow factor, not to mention, NO OTHER CAR LOOKS LIKE IT

>>10447656
I read your whole rant and there is so much wrong with it that I don't think its even worth trying to explain to you. Why the hell are you on a fashion board?

>>10447656
You could say literally the same thing about everything you just talked about.

>>10447656
a patek is a million times better than a casio.

>>10447673
That makes absolutely zero sense.

>>10447672
Omega, Rolex, Patek, are not fashion. Fashion is all about look and fit. I have a watch that looks just like a vintage Rolex and fits well. My only point is that it is stupid to buy expensive watches as any other 100 dollar watch can do everything it does while looking basically the same.

>>10447782
When you buy a nice watch it isn't just for the looks.

Like your car analogy. You said a honda vs a rolls royce.

Which one do you think is made by hand and involves much more painstaking work? What about what goes into the creation of it?

>>10447656
Look up john mayer on watches on youtube. He's actually quite articulate on the subject

Wostok 18 jewels 18k gold plated. Its pretty old a friend of mine gave it to me his granddad bought it while working in Siberia in like the 80s or smth

>>10447782
You don't appreciate the difference between a cheap watch and a nice one. That's fine and you can live the rest of your life just fine thinking that, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a difference. Watches are about looks and also about fit and finish and craftsmanship and there's plenty to appreciate in a good watch.

>>10447821
John Mayer is a faggot and his views are retarded.

>>10447794
A nice watch is not for looks, let's get that straight. It's the brand and build quality. Nothing more.

You took just ONE of my arguments in relation to my example of the car and you think that will destroy my argument? I get that you're trying to say "hand built" is worth thousands more, but it's a fucking watch for christ sake... that's my point. A rolls royce is so far beyond a honda, and the fact that it is hand built doesn't even scratch the surface. Like I said, it's faster, more powerful, impeccable interior materials and comfort, aesthetically completely different, far more advanced technologically, very expensive materials, etc. In relation to a watch, spending a lot on a luxury car > shit car. The price actually reflects what they are giving you. Unlike a watch, where it can contain the same materials, the only difference is brand and more durable. Yet it is so insignificant

>>10448049
>Yet it is so insignificant.
It's insignificant to you but not to us, why is that so hard to understand? Maybe I'm completely happy with my Toyota and I think that what I would gain by upgrading to a car that costs ten times as much is insignificant, that doesn't mean I'm going to go to /o/ or whatever and start shitting all over what they like just because I don't understand it or it's not one of my interests.

>>10448049
>because a million dollar patek is made of the same materials as a timex

>>10448104
i guarantee my gold watch is made out of the same if not better materials than a patek and i bet its worth a 4th less

>>10448112
Yeah and I can buy a brick of 24kt gold the same size as a watch and it'll be as good or better than a patek as far as the materials but that brick is going to be a pretty shit watch.

>>10448125
So then what's your point, build quality?

Again, build quality is absolutely worthless on a watch. I've had my watch for 8 years and it's probably worth a 10th of a rolex.

Are smart watches /fa/?

>>10444820

i at least wear my burner gshocks when I fly in H-60's. Our XO wears his red Pebble on flights, you can tell he's a practical man. a lot of the JG's wear Brietlings and I roll my eyes at the beatings those watches take per flight hout. what a waste.

pls respong

>>10449417

no

any recommendations for an effay automatic watch, with <30s/day precision for under 120$?

>>10449482
Any mechanical watch should be able to manage 30 s/day unless it's just a huge piece of shit. That's kind of a tight budget, I guess you'd probably have to stick to Seiko 5 or maybe one of those Rodina bauhaus memewatches. There's also Vostok but their watches are fucking ugly.

>>10448336
They're ehh. At best theyre decent looking, like the Moto 360, and at worst autistic as hell which is any non round smartwatch. I find it especially weird that no smartwatch maker has tried to imitate the square Casio look. It's such an obvious aesthetic to do for a smartwatch but I guess that's what happens when you have tech people trying to make fashion.
Pic is my current face on my moto 360.

>>10449533

Oh my god the nostalgas...so many nostalgas...

Aesthetically, it's imitating the looks of old field watches. Also, purely aesthetically, the finish on these sucks ass, and don't get me started about the movement.

>>10450107

I wouldn't impersonate a terrorist these days, especially the muslim kind. Russians are out for them.

>>10449832
I agree about the moto 360, by far the best looking, but I think you missed one, pic related. I can get it at my work for like 150 and I've been considering it heavily. Not nearly as many cool features as the moto but music control, vibrating alarm, e paper display is all really useful to me. Also it has that Casio aesthetic imo.

>>10450939
Lol, I actually just realized you can get new ones online for 150, my employee discount is shit. I found some slightly used for 90$ too, so maybe I'll cop and try it out.

New to watches, need help with straps.

Can somebody help me with the pros and cons of various straps? Like: Metal, Rubber, Leather, Nato, etc.

Pls help

How well do Nato straps stay on? Are they fairly tight and constrained?

MEME

I got a blue orient mako and the band broke so I'm getting a nato strap for it. Whats the best looking ones and also how water proof are they?

>>10450954
nato are generally fine since the material is pretty elastic, but they do strap differently and can irritate your wrist if you don't tighten it enough

metal is a bitch to adjust and some you can never get a comfy fit on just because the sweet spot is between two notches, but once you've adjusted it and it fits well it's always easy. Con being they're heavier and more common

Leather, classic, will get visible wrinkles in it, but my favorite. Softer material feels better, tends to hold together better with age if you spend more upfront than others.

Haven't used rubber, but I've heard good things. Easy and a good middle ground between NATO and leather. Might look goofy depending on the strap.

>>10451682
just do crown and buckle, best looking is subjective but I try to do stripes with at least one color matching the watch face unless it's black. As long as you're spending 10 bucks you're gonna get something pretty good, there's no exceptional premium quality nato out there.

>>10451093
I actually like the watch. I absolutely abhor your taste in clothes, and in shoes and socks

Whats the closest thing i can find to this watch?

Bauhaus recommendations $250-$350?

The problem with moto 360 is that its a UI nightmare and the battery doesnt even last a day with it not even constantly on,
The pebble I think does the

>I don't know what overtime is.

Okay, that's nice and all, but let me introduce you to my friend "marginal value." You see, from the perspective of a worker, all hours are not created equal.

From 0800-1700, my time is work x. Nothing's going on, and all my friends are at work too.

Past 1700, I'm missing dinner with my family. Now I'm taking time that actually matters to me to do your fucking work. Damn right you're going to pay me more.

Past 1900, including commute, now I'm going to have to eat shitty fast food. Maybe miss sleep if I have a long commute in the morning. You'd better pay me still more.

You're only looking at one side. In addition to productivity, you have to understand the worker is selling you something irreplaceable: time.

>>10462251
How expensive are Lacos and are they good for the price?

>>10462446

New to watches, mechanical is always preferred over quartz right?

>>10462828

Not always. Mechanicals can range from low to high quality, and so can quartz.
You could spend 10 bucks on a casio digital quartz, or up to a few thousand on thermocompensated quartz watches which are meant to be more accurate.

Also quartz is the most durable, so I wear those when doing sports. Otherwise mechanical all the way.

>>10462758
Mate, you have some retarded opinions.

>>10453769
i beg to differ. in fact some watches designed today were inspired by military watches.

>>10462828
repairing a mechanical can cost upwards of 300 dollars if it borks

feel free to get either, but read up on the movement first
my quartz hamilton hasn't lost or gained a second in 3 months

Pretty /fa/ tbh

Latest.

So guys, I had the F-105 W for a while now but it broke and the battery is shitty too.
I would really like something like the F-105 W again, but just better.

It has to be slim and light and not easy to break.
I think a metal one would be great, but the ones that /g/ (yes /g/, thats why im here now) mostly recommend are looking like youre on the edge to being an old fart
>>10463270
>>10463457
These look pretty good for example
Simple and thin, not like this
>>10458497

>>10462880
>owns some shitty fashion watch
>gets butthurt when people call it shitty
ok

>>10463692
Try the orient bambino, or a Mondaine if your budget allows and you dont mind something a bit thicker.
Or you could put a nato strap onto your broken F-105.
Depends on your budget

>>10463775
yeah orient bambino looks like I could wear it, maybe a custom strap and it looks really nice

But the watchface is excactly how i wanted it, this kind of smooth round glass that goes into the body of the watch

>>10463270
Wood watches are garbage because 99% of them are made by the same Chinese factory, i.e. you can find the same watches with a different logo on Aliexpress for <$30. All the websites that sell them are a bunch of hippie marketing fluff. It's a damn shame because wood is such a lovely material when done right.

>>10463457
Shitty refinished dial.

>>10463793
Are you retarded? Even by the looks you can tell that the Luno is a high quality watch made out of wood
Just look at that disgusting GOT watch and say which one looks better

>Smartphones are garbage because 99% of them are made by the same Chinese factory, i.e. you can find the same smartphones with a different logo on Fuckyouintheass for <$30.

Youre can change it to everything and it will still work

>100 years of watchmaking history meets innovation. Co-founder, Boman Farrer, comes from a long legacy of watchmakers. Nearly a century ago, Farrer's great grandfather began his career and passion as a watchmaker after losing his leg in an industrial accident. His son, Calvin followed in his footsteps and managed to have a successful career as a watchmaker for nearly 50 years. Fast forward four generations and LunoWear is born. With Boman's family history in watchmaking and Co-founder Ryan Krantz's experience with manufacturing, LunoWear is the real deal.

>We've done nothing but order Chinese quartz watches with our logo slapped on them and dare call it innovative watchmaking

>>10463793
>>10463891

Unbelievable how any company can get away with this type of shit. Same with daniel wellington.

>>10463891
Do these watches actually sell?
Boman's great grandfather is probably rolling in his grave for giving the genetic information to create this faggot and his shitty quartz selling company.

Thats not even my picture but you don't no shit about watches so stop critiquing other people's watches when you don't know jack shit.

also that 'ferrari brand watch' is a panerai that costs 8k

>>10464855
>Implying Panerai isn't incredibly overpriced ETA ebauche flashy hideous oversized DOGSHIT
>It's better because it costs more!

>>10463869
I dislike the warped mercedes hour hand

>>10462563
Most models are in the $200-$500 range and are pretty solid German military styles, including some of the best Fleigers from the 5 authorized watchmakers.

They also have a few $1K+ chronos that as far as I'm concerned are some of the most tasteful military chrono designs for that money.

>>10460699
430?

>>10465135

They're called cathedral hands and they predate the use of mercedes hands.

What's the best medium white or black face watch with leather straps with leather straps? Something very minimalistic And around 250 or under

>>10462565
>Either you're not actually working efficiently or you need to explain to your boss that you're overloaded or you need a new job.

I was just pointing out why you pay more for overtime. I'm one of those salaried exempt bastards. I get paid what I get paid and work until the work is done. It's the life of a private sector engineer...

Just so everyone knows:

Daniel Memeington watches will NEVER be /fa/

>>10463771
That guy was criticizing quite a few nice high end watches too. I don't think he knows much about watches.

>>10466134
Which ones? Many "high end" watches are either mid-range watches that use average ETA movements OR have gauche design cues that appeal to the nouveu riche / urban nig demographics.

>>10465285
hamilton jazzmaster, but you'll probably have to fork out 300+ unless you buy used

>>10466181
there was an AP offshore

Hey guys, new to this. Thoughts?

>>10466240

The AP offshore is a bastardisation of Gerald Genta's original RO design, and its marketed to plebs and nigs. I'm not sure which category you fall into but please don't embarrass yourself any further than you already have. If you think the Offshore is good taste, i have a Hublot to sell you :^)

>>10463869
I dislike Seiko, but that's a very pretty watch. Goes well with the strap as well.

Thank you! It's actually a Mido though, haha

>>10448112

Troll is obvious now.

>Disregarded.

>>10466329
Oh come on. It's a nice watch. A Hublot (an LVMH owned faux-luxury brand using ETA movements) can not be compared to a ROO.

The offshore isn't a 'bastardisation' I would say. It's just an offshoot of it. They appeal to a specific audience, but definitely not 'plebs'.

The diver earlier in the thread is mine. It is an extremely high quality watch. If you would go to an AD and look at one you'd see the appeal

>>10466393
Forgot my pic

>>10466404
>say I wear a diver
>posts chrono
haha, funny.

What kind of watch do YOU wear?

>>10466393

The two watches are absolutely comparable in terms of design philosophy, if not price or movement. Both are tasteless, oversized and unappealing disasters that take design cues from Genta's RO but fail to catch any of the subtleties or nuances.
FYI I visited an AP AD last year specifically to check out the RO and compare it to other divers at a similar price point. Although you are correct in saying that the ROO is very high quality and well made, the design is laughably juvenile and pales in comparison to the elegance of the Royal Oak in stainless.

>>10466409
Although it wasn't me who posted that picture, asking for what watch the other person wears is irrelevant. The criticisms of the Offshore stand regardless.

>>10466437
Well to each his own. I love my offshore diver. I don't consider myself to be like a person that wears gucci belts and other flashy stuff (which for some reason the offshore series is grouped in with).

Who knows. Blame the flashy rappers maybe.

>>10466409
>y-yeah well at least my watch costs more than yours
I would pick my beat up 40 year old quartz Seikos over any ROO any day.

>>10466452
g-good for you

I'm not trying to brag I'm just trying to see if people who hate on specific watches wear. If he wears a Patek he may have some credibility because he knows a good watch. If he wears a Daniel Memeington, he has close to zero credibility.

>>10453803
fuck

so when will orders open up again?
also how did you hear that?

>>10466459
Well if you're curious, here's my watches. I'm glad you like your AP and all but I certainly don't like them.

>>10466467
Your watches tend to be midsize or slightly larger. I can see why you don't like the ROO

Nevertheless a colorful and varied collection. Nice

>>10466449

Saying stuff like "oh x or y doesn't seem to know much about watches because they criticised my watch" is pretty silly and uninformed. So enjoy and love the watch you're wearing, but don't pretend that it makes you knowledgable about watches.

>>10466459
Again, even if I was wearing a Fossil skeleton watch with katana minute hands it wouldn't make my criticisms any less true. Nor would my words gain any more credibility if I was wearing a Patek.
You do realise people buy Pateks now for brand name the same way they bought Rolex in the 80's? Both are great brands, but again, they don't confer some magic authority on the topic.

Anyway enjoy your ROO. I think if you keep looking at watches, especially very high end like Dufour or Urban Jurgenson, you will grow out of it. Hell, check out the Seiko Snowflake, an absolute beauty with a showstopping dial.

>>10466467
Those Seiko Quartz and Omegas are just delicious. Seriously jelly. Was finding them in such good condition hard work?

>>10466498
The Constellation belonged to my grandfather and the Geneve Dynamic and yellow Seiko are my dad's, so all three of those just fell in my lap. The King Quartz and Grand Quartz I just bought from ebay, they're not too rare and I think they're excellent watches for a really cheap price because people turn their noses up at quartz.

>>10466498
Fair. I'm just saying I would be more inclined to take an opinion seriously if the person had some experience with watches

>>10466507
Nice, the aesthetic of the old Omegas is so refined and elegant, not to mention the sentimental value to both watches.

I think the King and Grand Quartz are incredibly underappreciated, their sharp cleans lines are just beautiful. Unfortunately it's harder to find very good examples in the UK, but I'm on the lookout.
Is servicing a quartz movement from the 70's a hassle or are their watchmakers who specialise in that in your area?

>>10466534
I got mine from a seller in Japan, I didn't have any problems with it but I guess the UK is more strict with import taxes and stuff.

I haven't found a local watchmaker I like yet, I've been looking for one to service the Dynamic. There's an anon in the /g/ watch threads who is in watchmaking school and he did a great job servicing the yellow Seiko, but I haven't gotten the other ones serviced yet and I'm not sure they really need it very urgently since they're running very well and they're quartz and all.

>>10466452
Question: What model is the top pic? That's a fine looking watch.

>>10466660
0852-8025, just look up King Quartz or Grand Quartz on ebay and you'll find a bunch of similar looking ones with different dial textures and stuff like that.

>>10466643

Yeah the import taxes make the overall price high enough to discourage taking a chance on a dud watch. I'll wait until I find one in good condition.
Ah yeah, the watchmaker on /g/ is pretty good and knowledgable. Yeah hopefully they will keep on running well because as far as i know Seiko has the Rolex philosophy of watch repair; if its too old, it doesn't exist anymore. A shame, especially for the great spring drive watches they have these days.

Dial looks great in that pic

Just got this over the weekend, it's my first automatic.

>>10444718
> what color g shock do you want?
> the ugliest one possible, please

>>10448184
I wouldn't say "build quality" exactly but rather the engineering of the movement and the quality of the finishing that make so called "haute horology" pieces worthwhile.

I'm still fine with my seiko and vostok though.

>>10465271
>>10465135

>Not liking cathedral hands

>>10460258
You don't see the tail rotor, bro? center right.

Need some recommendations for a watch with leather strap or nato. Something casual/earthy. Currently wear a timex expedition because cheap and I'm a train conductor and HAVE to wear a watch. Looking for something similar but obviously nicer/pricier. Blue collar as fuck so I can't rock some diver/Rolex looking shit.

>>10467229
Seiko Alpinist
Alternatively, vintage railroad watch.

>>10467229
>Need some recommendations for a watch with leather strap or nato.

Stop that. You never buy a watch because of what strap it comes with. In the vast majority of cases that can be changed afterwards.

There is a big gap between Timex and Rolex. What's your price limit and do you have a preference for quartz or mechanical?

>>10467240

Checked it out, dig it pretty much what I'm looking for. Nice but not TOO nice. Quality recommendation, will consider.

>>10467245

Birthday is coming up so probably willing to spend $350 or so tops

Local selling this on CL for 1k, always wanted a breitling. I'd prefer a navitimer or a brand new one for my first, but the price isn't too bad. Should I?

>>10467266
Pic of the other strap it comes with

>>10467265
Stop that, you're not a commando.

>>10467229
I think you have some misconceptions about Rolex. Rolexes are very robust and can take a beating, very good for jobs with a lot of activity.


>>10467266
Be careful. There's a lot of fakes on CL

>>10467034
Congrats

>>10466298
Looks very cool.

>>10466467
How would I go about purchasing a watch display case like the one pictured here? They're all quite expensive online and I'm wondering if I need to fork over the price of an actual watch in order to display my collection.

>>10467855
Almost everyone on the /g/ watch thread and myself have the same watch box (>>10466467)
I got it for just 16€, delivery included. I'm not even kidding. The finishing is astonishingly good for such a low price tbh.

>>10456453
Because a car serves a function that your phone doesn't already.

>>10468021
Why are you in this thread?

Luxury watches are obviously not a necessity, they are a niche product.

>>10467838

I agree. He had the price up for quite a bit more and it's been going down over the last few months. With a purchase of that kind I'll be sure to meet at a high end watch gallery to have it appraised.

>>10446527
>>10464456
I s2g I'm going to die if I don't know where I can cop that bracelet

Dumb question

How much force can a watch withstand? I'm going to several amusement parks over the course of a week soon and I get paranoid about my watches getting fucked up by anything. So would intense rollercoasters every day among other things mess with the watch in any negative way?

I even get spooked just by running
>feels bag man

>>10467858

Abomination

>>10464137
Is it true that changing the battery is a fucking bitch?

I suppose it's cheap enough so that I can just purchase another when the time comes

>>10468579

Are you a retard? You do realise watches can range from G-shocks to tourbillon movements? How do you expect advice when you've not even mentioned which ones you have.

Leave your nice watches at home, take a cheap/moderately priced beater watch with you. Quartz and dive watches should be fine.

Wore it while diving as well (30 m).
Solid quality watch and I kinda like the splash of color.

>>10469066

I've got an old generation Orange Monster and I love it. I'm totally down to buy another one whenever it shits the bed. I'm not going to bother servicing a watch that was this inexpensive plus the new ones have a better movement.

>>10469093
Added benefit of my monster, when I wear one of my other watches, I barely even feel that watch on my wrist.

That thing is heavy, man.

>>10469021
Don't call me retard, buddy.

>>10469152
Not your buddy, tard

>>10469093
Were the old watches smaller or do you have monster wrists?
Anything above 40mm just looks awkward on my babby wrists

>>10469212

For one thing the monster aren't that huge. They are like 42mm wide and 48mm lug to lug if I remember correctly. Also i guess I do have kind of large wrists at 7.5 inches.

>>10443660

I fucking wish

>>10469266

Yeah true, I meant that 42mm looks large on my wrist whereas on your wrist it looks quite good.
Any other differences from the old monster compared to the new one? With the following Seikos have, the older model could be collectable in the future perhaps

>>10469371

The movement is the biggest change. The new has the 4R36 which added hacking seconds and hand winding which the old 7S26 does not have.

So what kind of watch do I get for my gf? She's white/blonde/thin momcore style if it helps.

>>10469909

Mondaine on a milanese strap if she's /fa/
If she actually dresses like a conservative mom then any thin generic gold ladies watch can do the job, get one from citizen/casio/seiko.
If you have money to burn, a vintage ladies Datejust on a leather strap.
But then again maybe someone else who knows more about womens watches may chime in.
