What (smart)watch is Obama wearing?

>>11547646
That's the GO+

>What are you wearing?

Z serial polar explorer 16570

>Do you own a collection? Show it.

I also have an Oris Artelier Date which I received as a present but don't wear much.

>What do you plan on buying in the future?

Grande Reverso Duo, white crystal Milgauss 116400 and a 36mm Datejust. No haute horology plans so far because because knowing myself I'd just keep watches like that in a drawer instead of wearing them.

Whats the best watch for someone in the military who eill frequently be in or near warer. solar or automatic, not quartz
Price maxes at 225, 20bar water resistant preferred

>>11549029
Seiko SKX, Orient Ray 2 or Mako 2 divers are your only quality choices. Can't expect many options for your budget m8

>>11549111
Of those, are any hackable for when they gain or lose time?

>>11549142
Orients are both hackable and hand windinable, SKX isn't. Expect accuracy in +/-10 sec/day range

>>11549029
>Whats the best watch for someone in the military who eill frequently be in or near water

no gshocks fit the bill? many are solar/atomic and 200m "resistant", though i think only higher end models guarantee 20bar. many in the military swear by them.

>>11549152
I'm okay with gshock, but im female so most will be fuckhuge on my wrist

any recommendations for a watch under $300? Ik thats pretty broad but am interested in anything

>>11550059
Automatic, solar, or quartz?

>>11550082

Does anyone know anything about this watch? It's a Bulova 10k gold bezel with the number 90300 on the back. It was a family member's but they died and I know nothing about it. Watchophilia.com is actually dedicated to Bulova watch information but you need to be a professional or familiar with it to really ID something like this.

>>11550567

It looks early 60s to me

>>11550567

worth maybe $50-$100 on eBay judging from similar sales

>>11550618

Was looking to get my first watch and looking to spend less than £100, I quite like the Casio A159WGEA-1EF but what would you guys recommend?

>>11550741

Why is that? I see some that are very valuable and some that aren't. My granddad did tend to buy some retardedly expensive stuff though. I don't wear watches or I might keep it.

What does /fa/ think of this watch? I'm thinking of buying it and replacing the strap with a leather one.

>>11550804
if you don't mind the chrome peeling go for it, I very much like these but prefer the all black versions because of that detail

I'm seriously amazed

I had no idea they had it in them to make something that doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out

Hi /fa/, anon from /k/ and /out/ here.

I've always liked the Seiko field watches but I've always wondered where I can see a comprehensive listing of them. They can be found all over the internet, but I can't seem to find them on Seiko's website.

>>11549029
Pokemon

>>11554827
literally google 'list of seikos' and clicked the first link to find seiko 5s

>>11554975
Sorry, I guess I should have expressed myself more clearly.

Why aren't all of the seikos on the seiko website?

Nothing

>>11554402
What has Jeremy in common with the watch?

>>11549029
>solar or automatic, not quartz

Solar IS quartz.

You can't get anything decent in your price range that's mechanical. You can't really get any decent quartz in your price range, but maybe a Citizen Nighthawk if you want analog? You could track a second timezone on deployment.

>>11554011
Everything. It looks like shit.

Vostok Amphibia, with a red NATO strap. Sorry for the picture, only one that I could find online. I get a ton of complements on it, though. Great purchase, all in all.

>>11554031

Yeah, I was too tired of big flashy watches. And it fits and looks quite nice

Picked it because it's the most complex blue dial I've ever seen and has in house calibre

>>11556033
The only big cons is that it runs too fast.
But you can always adjust the time.

My dad gave this to me as my 21st birthday present, I love it, but I don't think I've earned the right to wear it though.

I need a watch that goes with my pale skin and 16 year old boy face. Oh and also my style of outfit for work.

Looking for a nice, minimalist watch. Just your average run of the mill Joe. I don't make too much money to buy a $200-$300 watch.

>>11554402
is that dancing with the stars? my grandma is always talking about that show. sorry I don't own a television

>>11557668
Also I want it so I won't be distraught when it gets dirty because I do work as a barista in a local coffee shop. Not Starbucks trash.

>>11554455
Lmao, say goodbye to your money for a subpar watch that'll stop working in a year or so.

>>11557668
Just go to a dept. store and find something you like in your price range if you don't care that much, got my daily wear (standard black strap, silver face, normal numerals) for 60 euro in 2012 and I shit you not I wear this thing almost every waking hour of every day and it's been amazing. Alternatively, use a department store for inspiration and then go online and find the same thing for cheaper

>>11554455
>wearing a watch for the brand
>not wearing it out of entirely practical and aesthetic reasons
You know how rarely people REALLY look at other people's watches? You might notice whether it's a leather or metal strap, or what size it is, or if it's digital or analogue but the observations stop there

>>11557681
I was gonna go with MVMT, it's in my comfortable price range, and I wouldn't care much seeing as it's just simplistic and plain.

my first watch, is it alright?

>>11552463
poorfags shouldn't wear watches. Either you have a nice one. or you end up walking around in some shitty MVMT or Brathwait looking like an idiot

Let me go ahead and list the reasons why the Vostok Amphibia is the best watch for under 300 dollars:
>Large variety of styles
>More waterproof than watches well past 400 USD (It can survive well past the rated 200m)
>Invincible due to simplistic Soviet engineering
>Looks great
>Cheap: from 60-90 depending on dealer
I can't believe people don't look at them more. It's all those cheap tacky looking Seikos the kiddies want. I'll be dust by the time this watch is broken. This watch isn't cheap by design, or to fit into a price bracket. It's cheap by necessity, because it was designed by poor-ass barely industrialized Russians in the 60s, for the Navy and special forces. These motherfuckers were worn by barely lucid Russians to help spread the poverty-stricken glory of the motherland. What was your shitty overpriced Seiko diver used for? Nothing. It sits upon the lanky arm of many a Jap teenage hipster, that's for sure. The Amphibias didn't even come with a wrist strap because it was expected back then that you'd not be able to buy anything else, so you would have to use your grandfather's strap.

Get an (Amphibia, Amphibian, Amfibia) for your first watch. It's as good as it gets for the price until you start looking at 300+ USD watches. It's the world's best value in a watch for the price regardless.

>>11558359
>Looks great
No
> It's all those cheap tacky looking Seikos the kiddies want
Those look bad too
>I'll be dust by the time this watch is broken
That's because you'll either throw it across the room out of frustration that it isn't keeping good time, or it will start keeping even worse time after a few years and you won't want to spend $150 on an overhaul, assuming you can find a watchmaker who will even consent to working on a soviet novelty watch. it will then sit in your sock drawer for 15 years and then you'll lose it during a move
>What was your shitty overpriced Seiko diver used for?
I don't have one
>many a Jap teenage hipster
It's mostly neckbeards who buy those, same neckbeards who go for ugly ass watches with "ironic" USSR insignia
>The Amphibias didn't even come with a wrist strap because it was expected back then that you'd not be able to buy anything else, so you would have to use your grandfather's strap.
M'lord, were you born in le wrong decade by any chance? Spray another round of the Knize Ten, they don't make stuff like they used to (adjusts cufflink)
>Get an (Amphibia, Amphibian, Amfibia) for your first watch
Nah, just get a Timex

What's a good automatic watch for <$300 that has a sun moon indicator and small? I really like the look of Orient Sun and Moon but it's way too big for my wrists, I have a ~6inch wrist. I'm looking for something <40mm diameter I guess.

i need an alternative to this watch seeing as to how it isnt made anymore. I just want a dark, minimalistic bland watch. Just something to complement my personality

This if the only other option

bulovas are fairly easy to date, which is good for valuation
there ought to be a two digit alphanumeric date code on the back if it's from 1950 or later
if it's pre-1950, you gotta pop open the case
look for a small geometric symbol on the back of the movement itself, usually around the outside rim

Im still saving up for a diver but in the meantime would putting a nato strap on this cheap ass timex be okay? If so what color strap would look best on it?

So I left the clock on the table while I slept, it wasn't working when I woke up so I was wondering what the fuck. My dad figured it was a wind clock so he winded it up until you literally could not wind it up more. Now it's not moving what so ever, I found out you were supposed to just put it on your wrist and move it around. Anybody knows how to fix this?

This is the model, they don't have it in stock right now, but it'll probably be back, or you can find it somewhere else. Replace the metal band that it comes with with a red NATO strap to get the look on the picture. Just look around for a strap as bright as that one, you'll find one.

Is it making a ticking noise?

Hold the watch vertically (i.e., 12 pointing at sky, 6 at ground) and smoothly but quickly rotate it back and forth (like you're turning a doorknob) a few times, about sixty degrees to the left and about sixty degrees to the right. Speed of rotating should be about 2 Hz (i.e., Left-Right-Left-Right in 1 second). Does it start?

Can you see the watch movement through the back?

For an Accutron? Working order? General condition is alright?
I would say it goes for over $250 USD, based on my extensive bidding history. When the Accutrons pop up, depending on condition and rarity, they can go from 200-1000. I have yet to find an accutron on ebay that sells for less than $100 if intact. If you see them, sure as hell send me the link because I will have it serviced and replace the crystal and whatever else necessary. I just find it strange that a decent condition vintage Accutron could sell for that low. Given the fact the vintages utilized the Tuning fork, they would sell well even in poor parts or repair condition.

I have a seiko 5 and I sort of have beaten it up over the past year or so. The paint has been rubbed away at certain points because I forget that i can't just bang my wrist into anything and not worry about damage as opposed to just hitting skin. I probably shouldn't get something expensive, should I?

>>11552555
>>11551612

>tfw can't afford an omega or rolex

>>11560865

>>11564776

>looks good

>>11564853
Not an argument :^)

But why do you think so? The coloration?

>>11564861

To me a chronograph is a watch that's supposed to be functional, and having so many gold details on it seems silly. I get that you have a thing going with the gold rings and the watch, but it looks plain tacky. Even a plain gold watch, but something a bit smaller, would be better.

>>11559154
Range doesn't matter. I liked Seiko and do you have more suggestions.

try the seiko snkm97, it will elevate fit and also wont break the bank

I got my Orient Lexington the other day, it has the in-house 46A40 movement, and a beautiful date/extended day window at the bottom, specifically love the red second hand tip. Overall, pretty accurate out of the box, at around -6-8 seconds/day, which can generally be expected from this great little watches. I am also pretty excited to get my Omega cal. 1012 in about a week.

>>11566949
The Carrera 5 is a good watch, but probably not a good watch for the MSRP. The movement is a standard ETA 2824, non-certified chronometer, and is also not modified, only decorated. Regarding the movement, it is an entry level Swiss movement, at a mid-tier Swiss timepiece price, technically should be lower, but overall it isn't bad. I am not aware of the finishing or build quality since I haven't felt the carrera 5, nor do I own any Tag Heuers, but if you got it for free, then it is still a good watch, should keep pretty good time if regulated, and is generally a durable workhorse movement, pretty much the most popular movement from ETA.

>>11564776
I've owned a two-toned gold perpetual calendar for a while before selling it. Similar to yours, I have an older model. Nothing is wrong with the color's, aesthetically and literally speaking they gold is softer in person and nicely balanced. Fantastic watch once you set it up.

>wanted to cop something like the f-91w
>see this

that brand has more colors, more variety than Casio and it's 5 bar WR as well. I think the f-91w only has 3 bar.

okay, you're a bit dumb so I'll explain what I mean

>>11569039
for seiko 5s? amazon and ebay should provide enough, afaik. haven't ever bought one myself so you might need to see reddit.com/r/watches and browse/search for some places.

>>11569185
neff sounds like naff which means 'not availible for fucking', aka: don't buy this watch
on top of the before mentioned connotation please realise that the font of the brand name is extremely contradicting/contrasting to the rest of the watch and looks, you guessed it, naff.

I've been thinking about copping a Garmin Fenix 3 HR, yea or nea?

I realize it's about 10% watch and 90% activity tracker, but that's pretty much my lifestyle and what makes it appeal to me.

Probably gonna buy this as a birthday present for myself in a few weeks. Anyone had any experience with Certina? I know they're Swatch's forgotten mid-level child but apparently a few steps above Hamilton, Tissot, etc.

I will also use it for diving.

Looking at a blue Orient Ray II (Amazon) but the price is $355. That's retarded-high, right?

why is everybody so fucking edgy and sassy as of late? must be the summer influx of fresh out of high school faggots

looks good.

>>11572152
far from it. the square case is also used for gent watches.

>>11562476
I love it

>>11566817

buy watches from watch companies, not clothing companies is what I recommend.

>>11557222

Very nice. MM300 reporting

>>11566817

It's not ugly but it's overpriced. Listen to

>>11572401

and buy watches that are made by reputable watch companies, not just well-known brands in general.

/r/watches is actually a great place to start

>>11572401
>>11572715
Okay thanks. Are there any places online to buy watches or do you just go to jewelers?

>>11573022
you can pick up most watches from ebay or amazon, no questions asked. but keep the case diameter and case depth in mind so you don't end up with a huge clunky piece of shit watch.

Did i do good?

What do you guys think of Nomos?

Would anyone be able to identify this watch for me?

>>11574037
http://mulpix.com/instagram/watchoftheday_sevenfriday_watch_watchanish.html I Hard-looking here but I'm not sure if I came across it or not. Also any opinions on it would be appreciated. Could this watch be Appropriately worn by a male?

vintage vietnam special forces model. could give a fuck about military shit, mostly just into the futura italic numerals.

>>11574037
that's a sevenfriday, not sure which one, white could be hard to pull off for a guy but they make plenty of other colors

I need to buy new bezel. tfw this shit costs almost as much as another watch.

some of yall wear some really REALLY ugly autistic looking watches.

This might get posted here every so often, but I am interested in your opinions on this watch. It's £215.00, which is about the price I'm looking to pay.

>>11576142
Sorry, not sure why the photo wasn't attached.

I reckon it goes well with my skin tone

Question for you guys-if I have a poorfag entry level job and mostly wear normcore and biz casual at work, would it be faux pas to wear a fendi or bulova watch? They are hand me downs from my family.

>>11574069

Man that deserves a leather band

>>11576147
>paying 300 funbucks for a quartz watch?
Don't do it friendo. It's literally 10 dollars worth of materials. Either get a 50 dollar quartz, or get a decent mechanical for 300 dollars.
You could try for the Tissot Le Locle--looks great, decent brand, automatic, and looks way better.

>>11577822
if you have a rec for a 19mm, i'm all ears. have the original bracelet for it, but feels too flashy for the watch.

>>11577311
if you tone down your other shit to be minimalist then maybe

>>11577842

19? the fuck?

What's the original look like?

>>11577860
oh just a standard stainless jubilee bracelet. i only wear that watch when super casual or at the gym though, and don't really like attention-grabbing accessories/jewelry, so the canvas does the trick.

can I just say that I'm always happy to see people in these threads buying meme minimal or gaudy fashion watches. keeps the vintage market nice and low for me. thanks lads.

Just what I could grab within arm's length. I have another couple dozen at home.

>>11579266
Middle is nice, the others I wouldn't wear if you gave me them for free.

whats an effay watch that isn't too showy.

Preferably with a black leather strap and white face

What does /fa/ think of the time teller? I know it's Nixon, but it matches a ring I have and it's inexpensive.

I bought this a few days ago, waiting for delivery.

I abandoned my old Seiko 5 a few months back, and I'm getting another one in a couple months (that's the most I'm willing to spend on a watch at this point in time).

best watch

>>11579444

My seiko is this one in the picture, but with a silver face instead, and it's been through enough for the numbers to fade entirely and look like they're just engraved.

What made me stop wearing it, apart from being entirely uncomfortable to type with (and I type all day cause I'm a software developer) was that the thing that covers the date display fell off after hitting it while I was carrying military equipment during my time serving, and when I got it serviced the fucking imbecile that repaired it used super glue which you can see a splash of it around there if you look very closely.

The one I'll be buying will be a Sea Urchin, and I'll be swapping the strap with a nato strap in grey, for comfort while typing.

>>11572143
Muji I believe.

Are there any cheap antimagnetic mechanicals/automatics?

Allahu Akbar or smug hipster?

>>11566949
Watch snobs like me shit on the brand, but it's still a nice mechanical sports watch. The fact that your dad got it for you pretty much makes it perfect watch wise. Any conversation I have about my Rolex or JLC will always have a rich asshole vibe to it, and I'd kill to be able to attach some sentimental value to them.

Picked this up last year.

My other Breitling

>>11580321
Insanly jealous of this one. How much was it

>>11570473
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK

>>11580352
>>11580352

I paid 3k it's a older model and 39mm. I like it because it's not your typical oversized Breitling

>>11550567
KEEP IT, I have an old 60's accutron made form 14k gold and it's worth maybe 2-500$. Theyre kick ass watches

>>11550804
DONT GET KEKED INTO BUYING A CASIO LIKE THAT FOR ANY MORE THAN 20$, EUROPE MAKES THOSE SO RETARDEDLY EXPENSIVE THIS WATCH RIGHT HERE COSTED 12 DOLLARS ON AMAZON, FROM THE CASIO SELLER PROFILE ON THERE. It's 100% legit. The specific model you want is 50$ (40€) go on Amazon and go type in Casio retro or some shit like that. Don't get ripped off, fuck European Casio sellers fr. Almost got fooled into buying the exact watch I have now in Europe for 45€. Theyre a rip off just go on Amazon.

660 is it worth it?

>>11580401
No. The tritium gas is cool but the awful water resistance means you have to be careful with it, even though it looks like a watch that's supposed to handle everything you throw at it.

>>11556964
Timex weekender
Like you it's small and weak and people don't expect too much out of it.

>>11580401

That's ugly to be honest. Objectively that much money on a watch is a huge waste, but we are allowed to be wasteful on things we find beautiful, and that watch isn't worth the waste.

I was looking into getting another watch, and came across this for 100 euro. I don't really wear a lot of brown anymore so I don't think I can support the gold details but that watch is so beautiful, especially for the price.

>>11569802
Yes. It's copper plating under I think (or the oxidized steel, idk) still looks nice though. Hope you didn't pay over 40$ for it.

What do you think of this watch, really cheap but I find the design interesting

>>11580514
You think 5atm isn't enough water resistance? Or are you referring to the older model with only 3atm? This new one came out a couple of days ago
>>11580621
It is a big chunk of dough and I would consider your opinion, but out of all seikos, you posted this one

>>11558359
The vostoks keep shit time from what I've read on actual watch forums. Something like +15 seconds a day. get a seiko 5 instead

>>11580735
The whole watch rubs me the wrong way. Uses what is probably a cheap Miyota movement like you'd find in a $100 watch, but costs many times more; puts "17 Jewels" on the dial as if the specifics of the cheap movement matter; less than 10ATM water resistance when 10ATM is considered the magic number for whether or not a watch can take a soak. It's got the tritium I guess, but I wouldn't pay that much for it.

>>11580318
Bracelets a bit much but very handsome otherwise. There's a Hamilton I love which is very similar.

>>11580728
kek.

>>11580728
It's quite cute. There's a place for watches like this and the vintage Mickey Mouse, which express much more personality than your standard meme minimalist quartz or meme gold Casio. Just don't pay very much, of course.

I'm considering picking up a JLC Master Calendar with the meteorite dial. Is it effay enough or should I get 200 Seikos instead.

The regular non-meteorite Master Calendar is also on my radar.

>>11580880
Go with the classic. That dial's a bit much.

>>11580848
I'm looking for a simple utilitarian watch for sailing, so granted, anything under 10 is probably a bad call. no bezel, pale readable dial, what would you recommend?

>>11580861
This guy knows

IWC FTW

>>11580903
For 660 you can get a Hamilton Khaki Navy and wear it as a dress watch as well. It's got 10ATM water resistance but no lume though.

>>11580903
Plus there's the Archimede Outdoor with a luminous dial. Costs a thousand bucks though.

>>11580852
>>11580852

I also have a black leather strap for it which tones it down

>>11569783
>>11569783
Garbage.

>>11567671
great pic holy shit nailed it

Inherited this from my grandfather just bought a original strap, had to use a shit strap since the first one had dried up

>>11582334
it seems that you also inherited his pre-pubescent arm hair genes

>>11548848
Looks like a Rolex Exporer II

Got it from a friend of my girlfriend.

You know that watch is worth $5 on Aliexpress right?
I would have preferred getting a beer instead of a piece of crap from my gf's bull

>>11582877
>>11582926

GF's friends pretty hot so I'd be down for a threesome.

Also, alternatives?

Alright, I am making this addition to my collection Friday, purchasing for $300 CND, or more like $230 USD. It is the Omega Cal. 1012
Early 1970's. It is kept in mint condition. Seller is local and legitimate. I know that the Cal. 1012 has hacking and quick-set day/date, I also know a bit about the movement. If someone here on /fa/ knows more about Vintage Omegas than I do, tell me a bit more about it. I know most of what google has to offer, so any niche details would be great.

>>11583956
Correction, here is the right image, sky blue dial with day/date, Cal. 1012

I know MVMT's trash, but I wanted a cheap watch to wear because I know it'll get dirty at my job.

>only like elegant dress watches

i have taste for things that will always be beyond my grasp. why live.

>>11585058
hey, I just bought a plain black MK tee and I think it looks dope

cop or not?

>>11585294
You don't have to dress up to wear a nice watch

Advice: Suggestions of watchs for a skinny arm boy?

>>11586345
A general rule I've heard is that you shouldn't let the lugs of the watch go past your wrist. Also, 36mm is the classic mens size but the trend is larger right now. So if you're in the market for something you'll keep forever, I'd suggest a 36mm Rolex but thats just me.
