/fa/ - Fashion

>>11200865
Yes. Don't buy perfume watches.

I need a field watch for work.

Is this /fa/ enough to also pass for every day wearing?

>>11200865
>designer watch
Yes, it's definitely trash

SARY055 (left) or SARB035 (right)?

what does fa think about Daniel Wellington watches?

>>11201254
I like the left, I don't like those custard color faces since they don't match with anything.

>>11201281
Looks a little tacky if you ask me

>>11201281
spend $10 and buy a fake off aliexpress that's identical to the real thing

quartz watches with absurd markups and playing off "muh luxury minimalism" are dumb because they simply arent worth that much. the markups are higher than a lot of real luxury watches on a percent basis which is hilarious.

>>11200894
I'd say so. How much are those retail anyway? Like $40 or so?

>>11200865
it´s bullshit :)

>>11201281
quartz? bullshit.

>>11200865
Is it a terrible idea to get a Tag Heuer quartz aquaracer serviced at a jewelry store instead of their central service center? It costs like 25% what Tag would charge to send it in.

>>11200894
Looks fine but will be noticeably noisy and the crystal will get scratched up badly if you're doing outdoor work.

>>11201281
They look okay but they're kinda expensive for the looks and how little anyone cares about them.

>>11201415
Automatics are cool but I'm not about having a watch that'll get $300 worth of damage if I play golf with it on.

>>11200865
kys

>>11200865
It's a bit stupid buying a watch for a fashion brand name, most fashion watches are worth $5-20 then slapped up and hundreds of dollars because of the quartz movement.

There's nothing strictly wrong with quartz but buy a nice watch from a watch manufacturer that fits with the outfit you want to wear it with.
Seiko make a lot of good watches similar to luxury brands for reasonable prices or just go for something unique.

>>11200865
Youll be paying a lot for what you get so make sure the style is real important to you

>>11201281
Im not a fan of watches without second hands, it makes them feel dead

>>11201469
How long have you had it?
How important is warranty for you?
Is it not working/loosing time?

>>11200865
Yes, it is overpriced. Probably a cheap quartz movement in a Chinese case with a 500% markup

>>11201254
get a Cocktail Time instead

>>11201254
SARB ofc, though I have one too so my opinion is biased

>>11200865

I've said this before. I've had a bunch of them and they are good for the price if you care fuck all about movements. The quality and finish was outstanding when I bought them (got my first one probably fifteen years ago), but I have no idea what it's like today. That said, I think their current stuff is ugly as shit.

Still, for that money I would get a nice Hamilton or maybe a second hand Longines or Omega. Tissot has a few decent models in that price range as well.

Is this Seiko posting a joke I do not get here? This company has nothing special. These watches are nothing. They are a joke to anybody who knows just a tiny little little bit about watches.
Well in my opinion (so you all don't get offended while checking your Seiko watch)

>>11201254
SARY is much nicer lookin imo

>>11203046
>They are a joke to anybody who knows just a tiny little little bit about watches
/g/ and literally every watch forum on the internet disagrees with you

>>11203046
Nobody's going to be super impressed that you have a Seiko, but I know my dad had one for over 20 years that he completed hundreds of working SCUBA dives with. Not bad for a watch he also wore every day even when he wasn't diving and didn't take great care of.

>>11202456
Damn, that's nice. Looks too dressy for my needs, though.

>>11203046
My grandfather was a jeweler. He sold Rolex' Breitling, you name it. Could have worn any kind of watch he wanted. But his everyday watch was a Seiko. I don't know enough about it to tell you why but that man knew his stuff.

Pic is my watch, just arrived today. Jacob Jensen, danish design, minimal, titanium, pretty cheap. I'm really happy with it.

I don't wear my Patek daily. Gotta have a beater for that, so I've got the Tag.

Wow, let me catch my breath, I haven't had a laugh like that in a long time... wew lad.

Seriously though, Seiko is a decent maker. It's inexpensive so anyone can buy one and they do a pretty good job at ripping off Omega, Rolex etc. etc. with their designs so they look alright too.

If you're not wealthy, then it's a safe bet. A good 7/10 watch for a 10/10 price.

>>11203339
Your grandfather was a fucking idiot. Or more likely he couldn't afford anything else on a jeweler's salary and bought the best available.

>>11203629
>jewelry isn't about being seen
ayy lmao, but I'll leave that part alone

It's pretty simple mang. Expensive automatics are just too nice to wear all the time, so I've got a "high-end" quartz dive watch to wear as jewelry/status symbol to impress the 99% of people who don't have any clue how nice the inside of an automatic is. The nice watch goes on when people are likely to appreciate it and nothing's going to happen to damage it. Or just when I'm chilling at the house.

Just a balancing of priorities.

>>11203659

Except my watch collection (including all straps and parts) is worth a little under £20,000.

>>11203686
>my jewelry collection is worth tens of thousand
>but I don't care about image at all
Caring about image is good within limits and that's why we're all talking about fashion. This notion that it's some pure form of expression where social status doesn't come into play is beyond silly

>>11203681
The mickey mouse watches like pic related are kinda fun but that blue plastic one is trash.

>>11201281
Got one as a gift, keeps time well and I get complimented for it. The best thing is the fabric straps you can get, so easy to wash.

>>11203693
>Caring about image is good within limits
Except you clearly are beyond those limits. To the point that you actually have a literal plan about which watch to wear based on how impressed you think others will be by what you choose to wear on a set day.

You have a mental illness. Get help.

>>11203719
Dude I just have a relatively expensive beater for when I'm not wearing my nice watches. Still not sure why that hurts your feelings so badly unless you're taking the reasoning behind having a relatively expensive anything as some sort of personal insult.

>>11203731
Alright guy, post the tag.

>>11201254
Definitely right. The case is of the quality of the Grand Seikos that cost well into the 6 figures. Hacks, hand winds, 100m WR and fellow watch lovers will spot it out right away.

>>11203731
Doesn't bother me in the least. What you do has no effect on me. I'm posting for YOUR benefit. You have some serious problems which need addressing.

I imagine your life must be fraught with anxiety..

As someone who genuinely knows watches, I'll let you in on a little secret. 99.9% of people will not even look at your watch.

of the 0.1% that will, I'd say approximately 90% have absolutely no idea about watches and could probably only name one brand of watch; Rolex.

So you are wasting an awful lot of time and money trying to impress someone that you will statistically never meet.

>>11203748
>thinking about where you're going when you get dressed in the morning
>a lot of time

>less than $2k and a $3 battery every now and then
>a lot of money
Don't know what else to say. It's not more fraught with anxiety than deciding what socks to wear. I'm just outlining it in those explicit terms that make it seem neurotic because this is the board for overthinking you shit.

>99.9% of people will not even look at your watch
>they only know Rolex anyway
Well that's just objectively false since people start conversations about watches other than Rolex all the time, including my Tag and Patek. Heck, I saw someone ask a girl about a Cartier last weekend and another about her fucking Fossil at the same party. I mean I'm sure we run in different circles since you're British and all, but still.

What do you guys think of this? I've been meaning to get something that'll pair well with my work suits and would be equally low key outside the office.

>>11203580

I was in japan recently and was having a look at some domestic stock Seikos. Was interested in a SARB035/033 but honestly I wasn't overly impressed with either, the cream face of the 035 looked strange on and the black face on the 033 did nothing for me. It's like they both lacked some personality.
I actually preferred the SARY055 despite it not having a lume and having a lower quality movement to the SARB's, to me it just presents nicely.

>>11202456
Saw this too which I didn't even know about until I saw it, very nice watch for the price

I want a digital watch because I'm too stupid to read a clock and not take 5 minutes. What should I get?

The original is far better. There's no way that's worth more than any mall watch and the fucking "WIRED" ruins the look. Anadigitemp or AE1200 if you're a poorfag and want a similar watch.

come back when you know a bit more about watches, honey. then maybe you'll have points to refute.

>m-muh sweatshop hugo boss (TM)

>>11205792
Honestly I was too but you'll get used to it.

You really only need to memorize half the face of the watch any way, since after "30" (well half past X), the other half is a mirror of the first, except what you read then becomes "how long until the next hour" instead of "how much time has passed since the previous began"

5 past one has 5 TO two in front of it, same for 10 past and ten to, a quarter past and a quarter to, etc. It's also kind of a different conception of time compared to a digital watch, you're really reading in chunks of time most of the time, instead of looking at exactly how many minutes have passed.

Not that you can't be as precise with it but unless i'm trying not to be late for work I look at it differently than when I look at the clock on my phone.

is rose gold really that bad for a guy? specifically considering the rose gold Orient Bambino v1 (pic is the v2). haven't decided on the white or black dial yet, and any input which would be better with rose gold is welcome, too

>>11212190
The various shades of gold is dependent on your skintone.

If you for example have very rosy undertones then a reddish gold wouldn't be a good idea.

What color are the veins in the underside of your wrist?
Blue?
Or reddish?

>>11212247
Oh, and on that, if you're a blackie or whatever and can't see any veins at all then stick with yellow gold.
I'm assuming you're some paler shade of taro.

>>11212247
blue, and some girl once told me i had cool undertones to my skin and that i should wear "winter" colors. she could've been full of shit, but maybe not?

>>11212303
Tbh, probably should stick to silver tones.

Still, only way to tell is to wear the thing and judge for yourself.

I really like rose gold, and can only just get away with it. Not yellow though. Never yellow (or green - not that there's much in mens accouterments that come in that).

Stay away from really yellow stuff. And you should be fine.

Depends also on with what you're intending to wear the watch.
A t-shirt, shorts and skate shoes vs button up, trousers and oxfords would affect the perception of how suitable it would be.

>>11200865

they all look based as fuck with a different strap. a brown strap works great for blue, green and beige. for black I'd get a lighter (white or beige) colored leather strap to have a distinctive look but that's just me. or go full metal bracelet because they sell versions with them too.

>>11219908
I love mine but I would consider selling mine since I don't wear it at all. I would ask 60€ at least since it is in a very good condition for its age and it keeps excellent time.

>>11219270

how do you feel about the negative display mod

>>11219817
I don't remember, sorry. There are lots of vintage Russian watch sellers on the bay. If you managed to find one like mine in a good condition and with a good price as well, you should totally pull the trigger since this model is not that common.

I don't recommend it unless you're also hydro modding.
Also, don't hydro mod an F-91W.

How difficult is it to replace the leather band on a watch? I find plenty of watches that are in disrepair and dirt cheap.

>>11224622
It's honestly so easy

>>11219270
Seiko G757

Casio world time or whatever their old big one was called
Casio AE1200.
Old classic casios desu.

my grandfather passed away last year and left me his watch, among other things. It's just a normal Citizen, but I like it.

>>11224622
all you need is to know the lug width so you can get a new band that fits and a tiny screwdriver, like the ones in eyeglasses repair kits, to get at the spring bars (just be careful not to scratch anything). you can also buy a springbar tool for like ~$5 or something if you don't think you can keep a steady hand

look up vids on youtube. it's piss easy

just spent $750 on this, did I do well?

Ordered this online yesterday, are pocket watches effay?

>>11210769
you know what makes that watch /fa/?

the scratches, the nicks. gives it character

Can anyone ID this watch? I've tried searching for it on the internet but I can't seem to find it. Sorry for the potato graphics

>>11221188
hey how do ya do that bud?

>>11225002
Amazon has that watch for 374.99

Also thats still overpriced because thats probably a Chinese case and a Japanese movement(probably cost about 20 dollars to make)

>Start looking for Soviet era watches on Ebay

>>11218937
ofc not
Cheap ass quartz movements they normally put in children's disney watches, plus all the dials that don't tell the hour are just glued and non functioning.

You could've gotten a real watch like a Seiko Sarb017 Alpinist for almost half that..

This is why the west is swimming in debt. I make almost ~$400k a year and I only just started rocking a submariner.

>>11232870
>I make almost ~$400k a year

>>11231518
bretty gud, especially for the price. the rotor is a little loud and the OEM strap is kinda shit, though. personally, hope you got a v1. not a fan of the designs of the othet two versions

>>11233364
Aren't Parnis's a bit of a toss up though? I've never owned one, but have seen some people complaining about how they can range from "ok" quality to utter crap.

>>11233364
how are their panerai knock offs?

not everyone dresses to impress other people. I buy stuff I think I look good in, maybe he's the same. He thinks the watch will look good on him let him have it

>>11221183

I'm okay with the price, my man. Anyway to contact you? In Mexico, btw

>>11232870
Seriously, $400k is a slow year for my dad and most of his friends but the fanciest watch I've seen any of them wear is a quartz Tag.

but senpai, james bond wears eithe ra rolex or a 007 depending on era

I've never bought a watch before other than when I was a kid. Never needed one but I got a new job and wanted something nice and simple for daily wear, so I went with this. Can't get much more simple than that, right?

I don't really browse /fa/ but I thank this thread for discouraging me from buying a gaudy navy/rose gold thing.

>>11236011
Claro, pasa el correo

>>11237417
looks good

I'm a wristlet what size should I get ? I don't want a huge looking watch I want one proportional for my baby wrist

>>11239270
40mm and under unless you're conan o brien. have to take in lug size into consideration as well

Does anyone else have this watch? Is it good? And what type of watch is it (mechanical, quartz)?

I'm thinking of getting it, but it's just over $200 AUD and I've never spent this much money on a watch before, but I really like the look of it.

>>11239851
Wait, nevermind about what kind of watch it is, just saw that it's automatic. Although it says it's 'Automatic Black Dial'. Does that mean anything?

>>11205792
Casio AE-1000W

Kickstarter watch. Slim, self-winding mechanical watch. Old school 36 mm diameter.

>>11239855
how new are you? i wouldn't normally spoonfeed you this basic shit you can easily google but it's an excuse to bump the thread.

an automatic is a mechanical watch that winds itself as you wear it from the movements of your wrists/arm

black dial means just that. that the face of the watch (the part you look at to tell time, the part with the hands and hour markings) is black

>>11240521
Pretty new, sorry. As I said, I've never spent this much money on a watch before, I just buy whatever is affordable and looks nice. I don't know much about watches and still don't understand how a watch can be wound whilst wearing it, or even know what winding really is, as I assumed that watches run off batteries.

Thanks for explaining it.

>>11240555
battery powered (quartz) watches have only been around since the late 1950s

automatics have a weight inside them, the rotor, that moves around with movement of your wrist that winds the watch, mechanically powering it to run and keep time

quartz watches are more accurate and cheaper than mechanical watches, which lose or gain time every day (usually not very much depending on the quality of the watch, but either way you'll be resetting regularly) and will require care and attention along with some maintenance as the years go. the attraction of mechanical watches is mainly on the engineering side of things as they are rather complex for how small they are, and as a whole are just way more interesting due to the crafting, history, intricacies, watchmakers, etc.

but if all you want is accuracy and looks, there are plenty of good quartzes to choose from and are a better bet than cheap automatics for the most part

R8 my new diver.

Where can I find a replacement leather band for pic related?

>>11209411
yes kurwa

What does y'all think 'bout Stührling? Dirt cheap but I've heard they've good quality for the price. Kind of feel like getting pic related, barely $200.

>>11241659
Rec. price is ~$400 but I guess that doesn't matter.

>>11241659
Do a favor to yourself and don't buy it. It's a 100% chink made watch with a made-up history pretending to be German. Very bad overall quality and cheap chink movement that won't last long.
Btw it looks like another chink Rolex rip-off.
And:

>diver
>100m

That's shit for a "diver" and I'm sure it wouldn't even survive a 50m dive.

>>11241659
Or maybe should I get this one instead?

>>11241728
Ye figured it's cheap, not really a richboi though. Guess it would be better than some Swatch or nothing at all.

It's 200m by the way.

>divers
great style, good sirs!

Gonna be pricey as hell to fix, so I've just been wearing my Rolex Submariner (Oyster Perpetual Date) that my father gave me when I turned 18.

I feel weird about having nice watches when I don't know much about watches.

Just got it in the mail. 50 dollarydoos well spent

as somone with girl wrists i've always had trouble finding a watch that could look good on me because 95% of them look too huge. surprisely i found this watch that fits okay on my skinny wrists.
So yeah this is my first watch, next time i cop a watch ill get a Skagen, i heard they're good for dudes with skinny wrists

Thinking about copping this

maybe seiko 5 (milions of options) cheap, small, classy

>>11219265

w2c? Model name?

>>11246516

look up seiko 5 military on amazon. cheap sub 70 bucks down from like 130 and look even better on a nato strap or anything leather cheap to high grade. decent intro field watch. check out timex weekender too

>>11229206
I have one, hate the bracket, love the watch.

>>11246516
original poster here.

Amazon. model nr. is SNK803 (beige), SNK 805 (green), SNK809 (black), SNK807 (blue)

those are Seiko 5 automatic watches.

shitty watch that ticks too loudly and lacks most features of that particular Seiko 5. the Seiko 5 is a better choice in every way.
