/fa/ - Fashion

Have had this cheap ~$70 watch for two years, looking to step up into something entry-level, less than 200, preferably around 150.
Suggestions? Seiko?

>>10807467
Seiko 5 automatic is pretty good.
The sarb033 is very popular for slightly more cash, apparently very good value for money although i find it a bit bland.

>>10807460
>paying this much for a cheap Rolex knockoff

>>10807487
This looks very nice, top of my list, thank you anon.

>>10807488
Confirmed for not knowing anything about tudor history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex

Got my ray a few days ago

>>10807513
so you charge your watch by placing another mans dick in your mouth and jerking it up and down ?

because that's not how most people do it...fag

probably random, but are there any watches that show the day of the month, day of the week, AND the month?

>>10807523
yes

>>10807523
yes

>>10807523
Yes several, you should get this and tell us what you think.

>>10807528
>>10807529
can you give me some names or post some?
preferably analog

>>10807545
i could

but why?

expect me to perpetually just sit here and give you answers to shit

fuck you

>>10807551
pussy

>>10807460
I think the blue one seems better color-scheme wise. I'd prefer white and silver though. if that even exists.

>>10807544
..or for a cheaper alternative, check jaeger le-coultre's master calendar.

>>10807523
yeah. that entry level military seiko does. pic related. what are you into, aesthetically?

>>10807551
again, famalam, you're being a piece of shit.

If I'm left-handed, could I just wear it on my right as an accessory? It's difficult to tell time on my right.

>>10807721
I'm lefthanded too.
yes you could. why not.

>It's difficult to tell time on my right.

what do you even mean by that?

>>10807717
>yeah. that entry level military seiko does.

not him but no, that watch doesn't show the month.

>>10807725
>the month.
oh, shit. missed that. never mind then

>>10807723
I don't know. it just feels awkward. I mean wearing it on my left by the way.
>I'm lefthanded too.
which hand do you wear it on?

>>10807512
>paying 2000$ more than an ordinary ETA automatic watch would cost
>no Rolex logo nor the quality
>thinking he owns a Rolex

oh wow. its like saying you own a Porsche when owning a Volkswagen

>>10807518

lol why does his watch make him a fag ?

are there any quarts watches that are acceptable?

>>10807748
I already own a Rolex (not a true diver though).
It's hardly a knockoff was my point, which you'd know if you knew anything about tudor&rollie history.
I'm more interested in something different, something not everyone has.

>>10807792
Yeah but at a certain point you're paying nearly Rolex prices for an generic movement, that's pretty shit imo

>>10807738
>I mean wearing it on my left by the way.

if I wear it on the left it feels weird for me too.

>which hand do you wear it on?

right wrist. it feels right to me that way, you probably should do the same but the downside is that you need to have a watch with a rather small crown so it doesn't cut into your flesh or better yet, find one with 4 o'clock crown.

>>10807778
....all of them? even the cheapest quartz watch has superior time keeping over automatics. that's no secret.
just avoid shit brands that suck and buy quartz watches from good watch manufacturers.

Do you like my little collection? Started almost 2 years ago. The hublot is fake. I got the omega from my father

>>10808206
Shit. I cropped out the hublot.

Copped the last one on sale for £9.50

Needed something to replace my broken all-black Seiko 5 military

Here's hoping casio makes a square one

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/06/casio-launches-android-wear-smartwatch-lasts-month-per-charge

>>10808206
I hope the Derpington W. is fake too.

>>10808254
>one month per charge

call me once smartwatches last 5 years per charge.

>>10808283
Yup. That too. The other watch is a old automatic kienzle

>>10808254
>>10808286
>It does not have a built-in GPS
What's the point then? I prefer a mechanical.

>>10808374
kienzle is shit, sadly. even the old ones are hit and miss.

>>10807792
Something different- gets daydate
U fokin wot m8?

>>10807512
tudor don't even use rolex movements
and the new models aren't even made by rolex themselves in their factory, they outsource to an as of yet unknown third party swiss company and do the final touches to keep qc up to their standards

>buying tudor
>ever

as poor as the french merchant navy lmao faggots

>>10807460
i prefer the pealgos, black bays are too bussy for my taste

Looking for a decent watch for a female. Am pretty short so "classic" or "genderless" watches will look massive on my wrist. Something leathery or with low-key rose gold would be good. Any ideas? (Not more than 250€.) Also: Thoughts on pic?

i bought the one in red a couple of weeks ago.

>>10809010
That is ugly, it's simple without being elegant. Anyway I think most women's watches will fit.

I really fucking want this.

>>10807717
I already told him what it was called the joke just went over his head

can someone link me to a cool vintage snoopy watch

>>10810009
I bought a similar watch with gorbachev on it, is cool yes

How much would it be to get a watch fixed? I dropped my watch and it doesn't wind any more.

>>10810534
what watch is that illuminated one?
pretty cool collection btw.

>>10811007
Gear s2 classic, Thanks bro

>>10811042
>Gear s2 classic

oh, it's a smartwatch, didn't notice at first.

So what makes one watch great or shit? Want to buy my first one, but don't fucking know what to look.

Budget is $30-40.

>>10811130
>So what makes one watch great or shit?
the movements. google it.
>Budget is $30-40.
seiko 5 or Casio terrorist watch.

>>10810563
Broken mainspring $$$$

You're paying for labor

So even if the watch is a $250 watch it could still be $1500+ to get it fixed

Got a big zero a few days ago and I love it.

got one of these a few months ago. pretty good.

>>10811508
Not a fan of the hands but everything else looks really nice.

why are the seiko skx divers expensive all of a sudden? they used to be ~$120 on rakuten, now sellers are asking $200.

over the past year the yen's value increased but not by a significant amount in comparison with the dollar. what's up with the skx price hike?

>>10807792
Stainless steel datejust with white face is the nicest Rolex in my opinion.

Fuck the rapper shit of going for flash. It's simple, conservative, looks good with everything, and works well.

I'm looking to get into those dressy dive watches. What's the best watch you can get with $250?

>>10811746
the seiko skx or a citizen might be to your liking

see: http://www.fratellowatches.com/summer-special-seiko-skx007-vs-citizen-ny0040/

>>10808991
I already own an oyster perpetual (inherited from my dad).
I want to get a new watch that's a bit different, hence the tudors.

>>10811655
Yeah, i really like it. The black face one is pretty sexy too.

>>10811130
>So what makes one watch great or shit?

buying from decent brands with watch manufacturer history = great watch

buying from shitty fashion designer brands = shit watch

>Budget is $30-40.

then buy a quartz watch but consider paying more like $60-90. Lorus is a great poorfag brand owned by Seiko and Casio pretty much as well. Festina is fine too but they cost a bit more. watch out for case diameter and depth so you don't buy a huge ass watch that you can't wear if it doesn't fit.

>>10811146
>seiko 5
>implying a seiko 5 doesn't cost at least $90.

I'm thinking of buying pic related.The quartz version because too poor for the automatic. It's about $850 where I live and thats like 2 months of salary ( shitty Easter Europe country )
I love Longines but pretty much this is the only model I can afford.
wat do

>>10808206
Your dad is a faggot. He gave you the shit seamaster that doesn't have the fancy wave pattern on the face.

>>10812141
If you pay $850 for a quartz, what are you paying for? You certainly don't need 30 bar water resistance.

>>10811130
Pay up a bit more and buy a Rotary. They're not great but they're not shit or terrorist tier either.

>>10812141
Please don't spend that much for a quartz.

>>10811130
Do you want a fancy watch or just something to tell the time? Get an old russian watch or a swatch or something.

>>10812141
don't do it. this is a luxury brand. no need to have something like that if you can't afford it.

>>10812174
>swatch

don't tell him that. they tick way too loudly.
I would know since bought one a while ago. such a shame too because the movement is actually pretty good.

>>10812181
Do you know if the same applies to the plain Casios?

>>10812214
no, probably not. this one should be fine. japanese movements are more silent in general, which is good.
I only own one Casio watch but that one is an analog-digital one and it doesn't have a seconds hand but regardless, this one should be fine. but just to make sure, you should check amazon reviews or reviews online in general and see what people say about that Casio. usually they talk about it if there is loud ass watch ticking.

Anyone know the name of this? It's made by Zim, but I have no idea of the model.

>>10813035
i doubt they have model names/numbers. zim (zavod imeni maslennikova - plant named after maslennikov) is one of the makers of pobeda (victory) watches. they all used one same caliber copied from french maker lip so the difference between models was in design only and basic features small/central second, date. so you will not identify the model.

by the way help me choose a soviet watch pease

>>10813082

>>10813089
pobeda

>>10813097

>found out that the Russian watch I bought is actually manual wind
>been shaking my wrist like a retard for days trying to figure out why it wasn't working
welp :^)

>>10813082
Don't like the dial texture, but the weekday window is cool.
>>10813089
Nasty.
>>10813097
Really cool.
>>10813105
What the fuck is up with the crisscross shit.

>>10812214
this is my gym watch

I only notice it ticking if I leave it on a hard surface
a lot quieter than say a timex, though the hands don't quite align with the notches which tickles my autism

>>10811061
You didnt even notice fag. Wheres your collection?

>>10813156
The seconds hand?

>>10807488
>>10807748
>>10809005

Retards, all of you. It shows that /fa/ is filled with teenagers that can't think for themselves.

>>10813136
Automatic watches start getting popular in the late 60s- 70s but Japanese and non swiss watches didn't get them until like the 80's...so if you find a vintage watch and its not like a patek then its prob wind.

Like the old Timex you had as a kid

>>10813184
Cheers

I recently got a second watch. Where the fuck do I put the one I don't wear? I don't like watch boxes at all.

inside a drawer maybe?

>>10813144
crisscross? you mean the second subdial? i like the white dial slava and pobeda too. will buy them both. its around 5 bucks anyway

>>10813172
ye

>>10813207
get a watch stand

http://www.obrismorgan.com/watchstand.html

Russian watches are excellent

>>10813264
The dial surface itself.

>>10813309
nope. this one is a limited series with a shitty movement and acrylic crystal. and i'm not sure about the case material whether they started using stainless steel or continue to do the cases of brass. this watch looks like a diver but it is not.

though i admit they have their style. i own like the pic

>>10813375
it was an achievement for the soviet mass market watch manufacture technology

Is there like a picture of a watch guide somewhere? Currently looking for a watch in the 150£-400£ range. Long-term, neutral casual everyday watch.

>>10807460
The black one is pretty cool.

>>10813400
Aesthetically? I don't see the merit.

>>10813400
I think it's rather handsome.

greetings comrades

>>10807460
What's the female equivalent of a watch that a financier might typically wear that you might be able to recommend?

>>10813843
a gold Cartier Tank.

>>10813843
For some reason a square Cartier first came to mind.

>>10813863
>>10813861

>>10813568

Steinhart ripoff

>>10813900
JEE-BUS the fucktart in dis...

TURD-MORE watches are descended from the same lineage as ROLL-EGGS.

They are the original, not STINK-HART bullshit.

>>10813861
>>10813863
Any particular reason why?

>>10812092
>>implying a seiko 5 doesn't cost at least $90.
you can find them for $60. still out of anon's said budget, but let's be honest, he's a little naive with the budget anyway.

what are some poorfag watches with some unique history to it?

>>10814254
Vostok Amphibia comes to mind. Unique history in the sense that some clever Russians came up with a new seal for it.

>>10813381
>movement is bad
>acrylic is bad
just stop

what does /watch general/ think of lithium-ion movements?

>>10813400
w2c other watches that look like this? clean but with some of the hours

>>10814372
I think that's a type of battery and not a type of movement, and I don't think that's a watch, either.

what does /fa/ think of my watch?

Can Presidential watches be effay?

>>10814391
>falling for shit-tier b8
Jesus.

>>10814239
>you can find them for $60.

I know. but rarely. on top of that there is shipping costs though.

>>10813159
fuck off you rude asshole.

>>10812141
get a seiko like the rest of us poorfags

>>10812160
>>10812166
I paid $2000 for an Omega quartz. What's the big deal? 5 years later and it's still running on the original battery.

100% accurate, loses and gains no seconds per day unlike automatics.

You get what you pay for. Automatic watches are certainly not superior to quartz watches in any way. It's just a matter of preference i.e. if you appreciate how an automatic works or not.

I personally, don't give a shit about the mechanics of my watch and I can literally build automatic watches myself.

>tudor/invicta rolex rip-offs
>seikos
>russian/polish/romanian faggotry

ugh, shit taste, shit taste everywhere

>>10815365
snks are literally 60 bucks free shipping on amazon

>>10815420
well, I'm in Europe and that's not the case for me.

>>10813750
I have a vostok i really like too. Highly recommended, although you should put a new bezel on it.

>>10815401
If you're paying that much for a quartz with other features such as solar, radio controlled, gmt and all that shit combined then yeah fine by me.

But if it's just a plain quartz with date function, then it's just the same as any other quartz. You're paying more just for the brand name.

No hate on quartz, I know the history and why it's important but I can't justify spending that much. But hey it's your money and if you like how it looks then who gives a shit.

>>10815416
What kind of watches do you like friendo?

Dream watch.

>>10815679
Much nicer than most IWC.

>>10815679
this iwc looks an awful like a maratac mid pilot :-/

>>10815416
I guess you are the Applefanboy from the other thread who posted his faggy iwatch. Stay mad.

>>10815728
Other way around, and i think the iwc looks a lot better.
Most pilots look quite similar though.

>>10813406

>>10813750
u hehree rike animaru

>>10815692
I have trouble reading that watch. I mean I know it's 10:12, but I just look at it instead and get lost in the fucking details.

>>10816037
that doesn't fit your wrist.
stop wearing such huge clocks.
bet it feels uncomfortable too.

Swatch is underrated, especially here. I like the functional, no bullshit design.

>>10816510
>underrated
Nah it's just shit. May as well just get a Casio Popewatch instead for literally $5.

>>10811655
My personal favorite. Its not as reserved as some of the others, its more of an up in your face kinda thing, but its so damn pretty

>>10816510
then fucking tell me how you can actually stand that loud ass ticking without going insane?

seriously. on top of that, the plastic crystal is not very scratch resistant at all, just look at your pic, goddamnit, and the plastic body is not durable either. maybe it would be fine if it was an IRONY line swatch but those suck too since they still have shitty crystals.

>>10816582

It's not uncomfortable at all. Not everybody likes larger watches, personally I think it's fine.

>>10819951
It looks ridiculous though, with the lugs pointing out like that.

>>10813608
no, i men the technology

>>10813608
no, i men the technology
>>10814284
well its just my opining dude. as i said i own one pic above (a true military watch my father was given in the army) and it appeared that the movement is quite fragile and not precise at all. its acrylic crystal got scratched with some deep ones. probably the quality lets say of speedmaster and amphibia differs a lot.

however i was swimming with it in the sea without problems though i would not dive

>>10816754
ebay of course or ex ussr counties local classfields

>>10817889
that mark gordon person's geography really isn't his strong side, minsk really hasn't been a part of russia in a while.

>>10816612
>not enjoying the mecanic ticking of a clock
nigga, you need to enjoy the simple things in life

>>10815652
But automatic movements aren't expensive either. You can buy swiss clones for $50 that can be put into any watch.

Of course it's for the brand. But that's true of any product ever. You pay more for the name. Even the likes of Seiko have a brand premium. They are making huge profits on every watch because they don't cost a fraction of the price to make.

>>10807460
Just out of curiosity, what's the point in owning a watch when your phone tells the time and, in most people's cases, is on hand at just about all times?

>>10820874
I guess some people just kind of like nice things, no?

>>10820874
honestly I thought the same thing but bought a watch jsut cuz it looked nice, but it's so much nicer to simply glance down at your wrist than fish you phone out of your pocket, especially if you need to check the time frequently.
