/fa/ - Fashion

I loved the last thread, it was really informative.

What does /fa/ feel about the Skagen watch brand? Do they make quality timepieces?

>>12298126
they are on sale today in zalando lounge, is that why are you asking?

>>12298145
Really? I just came across the brand when I googled, I think their watches look awesome. I'll check that sale out right away.

what does /fa/ think about the watch my dad passed down to me?

>>12298165

>>12298165
what is your wrist size

>>12298178
idk but i'm a wristlet :( no bully please

>>12298181
im 188cm and only have a 6.25inch wrist lel

>>12298185
i'm 194cm and had to take the watch to the shop and have the band shortened to fit me. my dad is like 175~cm. feelsbad

Just got this cutie in the mail. No quickset date, so yea.

6.7inch wrists and this is my goal watch. Feels bad.

who /slav/ here?

What's a good, cheap (Below $100) watch for the summer? Preferably with a leather strap.

>>12298126
>Do they make quality timepieces?

No. They look nice but the make is renowned for quality issues

>>12298152
Well you're dumb enough to ask if a watch that's $40 shipped to your house on sale is quality...

>>12298358
this one is gorgeous

>>12298358
That's a very beautiful dial anon. Have a picture of it on a strap?

Reminds me of this.

>>12298165
>>12298171

uhmm bro???? you forgot to wipe that little piece of shit off your arm??

>>12299024
Nah, it's in the mail

>>12298126

Simple. There are two watch people really. You either get a 'fashion' quartz watch. Or you look to mechanical watches.

The reality is there are affordable mechanical watches, the same price (or less) than 'fashion' watches.

If all you want is a watch that looks 'modern' Then you could do a lot worse than Skagen.

But for the same money you could get a Seiko that is mechanical, has some 'soul' and enthusiasts would respect, (if you care).

Be careful though, nekt minute you're down the rabbit hole and going after pieces like this.

Look at Seiko, Citizen, Timex, Swatch for your budget.

>>12300725
I'm not sure if going mechanical is being redpilled or bluepilled by memes.

>>12300791
this.

I personally hate mechanical shit because it's so inaccurate compared to quartz and needs more maintainence. a watch that I have to readjust every other week is for the bin.

>>12301089
I just think the mechanical aspect of it is neat.

>>12301090
I agree it is. clockworks are interesting to look at. I own one myself but for me personally it's just not worth it buying them if the purpose is just telling the time very accurately

>>12301089
>it's so inaccurate compared to quartz and needs more maintainence

I don't mind since they are neat. the fact that you have a little machine on your hand that responds to you is cool, especially from an engineering standpoint. It doesn't matter if you spend $100 on quartz, because it's basically like a $10 quartz on the inside/ takes almost no time to produce, which makes them boring.

>>12298358
OHH God

>>12301089
more about the craftsmanship
like guys who like fountain pens. who the fuck wants a pen that leaks and doesnt write well on all paper? but it's the experience, the connection.

>>12301089
>I personally hate mechanical shit because it's so inaccurate compared to quartz and needs more maintainence. a watch that I have to readjust every other week is for the bin.

I could never buy a shitter just because of the constant chore of fixing the time endlessly. But anything COSC certified is acceptable and it only really needs to be adjusted once every month, which is when you would change the date wheel anyway. If you get a really accurate, high quality movement you might never need to adjust it because you can self-regulate it by leaving it in different positions when you sleep. For example my old, beater Rolex has been regulated purely by me leaving the crown up when I sleep and it's only drifted off by a grand total of 3 seconds.

But yeah I would definitely say you need to be a "watch guy" to buy anything mechanical because quartz is, generally, superior from a raw accuracy standpoint.

Pretty good my man. Timex is the least pretentious department store watch and their build quality is good.

The Expedition line is especially lovely.

just came across this meme.
I like it. there's shitty homage or replicas of that too.

What clothing go with Seiko Alpinist?

Does alpinecore exist?

>>12298106
Since Daniel Wellingtons (by admission of the founder) are just $20 Chinese watches being sold as $200 premium items, does a storefront exist on TaoBao or AliExpress that sells the un-marked-up versions?

havent worn it in a while, been usin my gear s3 for everyday shit.

>>12304372

>comparing a guys watch to a girls watch

Six months in, still looks almost brand new. Hopefully it doesn't last forever and I can get a diver in a few years.

>>12305281

man you shouldn't be calling out people's rolex's if you don't have a comparable watch. If you're gonna grab a picture of a rolex on the internet at least pick one with a decent band

>>12303113
It's not big at all, it's like 36mm across. It's just a close-up photo and I have skinny wrists.

>>12305294
>nato band on a military issue watch

Why do I have to buy something to have an opinion on the aesthetics of some other thing?

okay it makes sense now thanks. If you actually had one you'd realize how retarded that concept is unless you're punching, swimming, killing bad guys daily — which you can also do with the regular band.

im laughing at the thought of you thinking that because the shittiest bond wore it then it gives it some credibility.

>>12306444

Getting one when my seiko dies or gets too trashed.

>>12307483
It's a nice watch but it's kind of oversized compared to my Seiko diver and I sort of regret having such a blatant sub ripoff. Very high quality overall though, it looks and feels great and it has a decent movement and sapphire crystal and all solid links and stuff.

depends what you're looking for. there is no "best". some have more features, some don't. all run on quartz which is the same.

You need a classic model if you want a Cartier, but it's your money of course.

>>12307807
Got it for a year and had no issues. I got a russian watchmaker nearby who will do poljot and venus calibers, otherwise service might have been troublesome in the future. But it´s a pretty cheap watch, so there is always the option to simply replace it in the end.

would a Dali wristwatch be /fa/?

So I guess no.

That thing looks ugly as hell. And then, its a rip off. And even after that, it's an Invicta.

No.

only correct answer

>>12314346
Unless you know someone who can do it as a favour, it's propably not feasible to take it a professional watchmaker for crystal replacement, as they charge way more than your watch is worth, eventhough it's a really simple job.

You could try and source replacement crystal from eBay etc and change it yourself with help of Google. There's bound to be modding guides etc for Vostoks as they are quite popular.

we aint dead yet.

anyone here stalk Massdrop?

Absolutely love this watch. Think it looks great, is only 38mm so won't be stupidly oversized as well as having a great mechanical movement to satisfy the watch nerd side of me.

Only thing I'm worried about is the fact that with what it costs I'd want to wear it every day, it will be fine for work but I just don't know how well a white watch will dress down. What do you guys think, is it able to be pulled off with casual wear or is it too much for a jeans and sweatshirt or t-shirt/jacket look?

>>12315382
Remember it's 15mm+ thick, which is very thick, especially for a 38mm watch - that plus the busy dial plus the oversized crown make this a much more casual piece

>>12315393
Ah good point thanks, had already factored the business of the dial but hadn't noticed how think it was. Maybe does make it about as versatile as a watch can get if it'll go under my shirt sleeve cuff for work. If not I think I can justify the purchase for non-work only anyway.

Will probably get it, have been agonising over this decision for a good few weeks now so nice to finally decide.

>>12315393

15mm is too much, maboi, you won't be able to close your cuffs.

It's a chronograph so by default it's already a very casual watch. White dial doesn't change that, desu I don't know where you got the idea that it has "that effect".

Imho it will look just right with jeans and sweat, but also good with jacket etc. I'd wear it with anything that isn't a suit/tux.

>>12315430
>>12315432
Cheers, gives me a good sense. My gut said going over 42 in my search would be a bad idea and that basically proves it. Still looks good but is basically the limit.

Sure, though keep in mind that the lug to lug of the strela is quoted at 47 (I don't have one to measure), which isn't far off the 48.5 of the L&H - it'll be a fatter tower, but the lug position will be about the same.

It's missing the chronograph, but do you really need one? If so, consider a quartz Casio Edifice. It won't wow any watch enthusiasts, but it looks nice, and is way cheaper. I didn't see the one I bought as my first on their site anymore, but I've taken that thing through hell, and it still works great.

Love that watch, though the hands are a lot bluer than they look in that picture irl so be sure to take that into account.

The brand is amazing value for the movements and unknown enough that you aren't just following the crowd. So far as the online store goes it's a generic chinese based export store so take the risk if you want. Doesn't have many reviews on trustpilot.

https://vincerocollective.com

>>12322861
they're shit.

do you really want a cheap piece of shit watch that says 'VINCE' on it in huge letters?

>>12322861
It won't have the same Citizen-Miyota movement a say $400 Citizen watch would have, but propably very inexpensive entry level movement they supply as generic component to variety of makers. It will still be reliable and accurate though.

150$ feels steep though, the watches look kind of cheap and I get really Daniel Wellington-esque vibes from the brand/website.

It was $100, it's solid right?

I got that one as my first watch for $75.
Yes, it's solid. It was my daily beater for about 5 years, and it still works great. The top chronograph button still works, but it doesn't click anymore. That's my only complaint.

>>12306423
What's that orient?

Fags, Show me your watch winders. I need ideas

why would you buy a expensive watch on that ugly blue?

Bruh, If he thinks it's worth the $100 then be happy for the man.

I don't wear watches and I don't know anything about them, i just found this though. Worth keeping?

>>12324412
>quartz
absolutely not.

>>12323972

>>12324460
Do you also wear two watches?

I wish I could afford quality watches

>>12324643
are you not able to take your watch off at the end of a day and put a different one on the next day

>>12323972

A watch winder is not really a good thing. It's like leaving your car running in the driveway.

What do you think about this?

Basically I need a beater watch that I can wear when going out that I don't mind if it breaks, but at the same time I don't want that it looks too shit.

Please no fakes, or watches more expensive than 25€. I already have watches that are more expensive, but because of that I don't want to wear them in those scenarios.

>>12324962
yawwwn

>>12304374
HAHAHA
>the diamonds were custom added in because I like diamonds :3
Rolex put those in, they were not added
probably not your watch or you got lied to

>>12324962
get a timex bro. don't buy that trash

Did I do good?

>>12324645

Sinn 104 is fucking great, no regret.

>>12325221
Is that the Kojima watch?
So much better than your typical plastic fake 80s Casio.

>>12324943
Ignorant pleb desu

>>12324412
No problems with quartz movement at all but cheap-ass two-tone quartz is a real no-no. If you go two-tone it should be real gold in it.

>>12313399
I do

Just ordered this, thoughts?
The dial is 34mm, not some 42 mm gaudy shit middle aged men like to hang around their wrists. Can't wait to get it in the mail.

>>12322834
not bad

>>12298106
Does /fa/ approve my new Ruskie chronograph?
Its design is inspired in the German Tutima/Hanhart WW2 chronographs.

>>12325965
The movement is a cal. 3133

You're absolutely fucked. They break in months, The trit dials fall off the hands, the hands fall off by themselves; return it now.

>>12325523
It appears to be a real one, whereas the Kojima one is a crappy new remake at an inflated price.

>>12308783
>unless you need a compass don't buy an alpinist
silly

>>12313080
god no, funny concept but save it for when you're 50+ or feeling like not caring

>>12313267
It was because the bracelet couldn't be resized and they needed a watch quickly IIRC

>>12326077
Never heard that but I have seen one on sale for that very reason... anyway, there's a two year warranty on it, I'm pretty sure that covers this kind of damage. Specially if it happens in the first months like you suggest.
Am I taking this too lightly or is it you who's being overly dramatic?

>>12315605
>>12315636
this ahahahahahahah you have the wrist of a child bro

>>12325413
its pretty retarded looking imo
as if some cheap chinese watch
and whats with that crown
its as if its put together with random parts and hardly anything has a purpose

>>12326103
>plastic crystal
>cheap chinese nato strap
>no shock absorbance in chassis, just polymer casing over internals
>cheap adhesive used to secure tritium vials
>not waterproof

Decide for yourself. You should have bought a G-Shock GWM5610-1 instead...

>>12326118
*ad. not waterproof as in don't get any water in it, there aren't any seals on the battery door.

>>12325523
It's a Seiko G757-5010-40. Broken ones are $150 on ebay and they cost ~0.45$ plus shipping to repair.

>>12326118
I get your drift, but it's hard enough to find a G-shock that isn't completely repulsive. Besides, hands are more my thing.
The strap looks good enough and certainly does the part. You're right about the crystal though, that's fucked up. Not too worried about the waterproofing, as I have a 10 atm watch for when I go sailing. I'll probably just wear it daily around the shop and at the range.
All and all, I would probably be pissed if I didn't pay half price for it, I,ll admit it.

>>12326165
Look into
protreks. They're like G-Shocks but cheaper and better.

I work as a millwright so I don't get to wear this automatic Orient that often, so it's frequently unwound.
Do I have to worry about the movement seizing or the lubricants drying out due to long periods of rest?

>>12326249
>>12326249
Who cares?

A service will cost as much as the watch is worth anyway.

>>12326268
That's why I care?
Don't want any unnecessary service jobs due to my negligence

I love Seiko

>>12326277
>Don't want any unnecessary service jobs due to my negligence

The oil dries no matter what, that was my point. You might get a marginally longer life out of it if you keep it running but the service costs are going to make you want to buy a new one anyway. The costs of a watchwinder would outweigh that marginal increase in lifespan as well.

I'm just saying don't worry about it either way. And no the movement won't seize up it will just start keeping shitty time and slowly grind itself to dust.

>>12326306

>>12326118
>>12326165
the 5600 series gshocks look the best imo

>>12326331
Makes sense, i appreciate the information. >>12326415

>>12326249
Doesn't need to be constantly in movement, just give it a full wind once every fortnight/month

>>12316870
just a bit over 600 but a sweet watch

My last purchase

>>12319706
GS is neither that cheap nor that bad

>>12298358
I ordered the version with the red second dial and a distressed nato leather strap that has a green on the inside/sides

>>12328059
>GS is neither that cheap nor that bad
They're mostly just upmarket Seiko 5's my man.

But yeah the price is slightly lower than it should be.

>>12328065
where to cop? please

>>12328065

That's a shitty really low quality franken watch, which won't be able to keep good time even with regulation.

it's not like anyone expects something out of the ordinary for that kind of money...

Bumpu

>money can't buy ta-

Hey effay, I'm trying an 18mm strap on my skx013, Is the strap too thin? And is it disgusting?

Looking to get a seiko or two to begin my collection. No idea where to shop though. I want a 5 series but there are so many out there. Could somebody give me some places to look for one. Think I'm gonna invest in straps too so I can change the watch appearance with ease

>>12329749
Spend the extra and get a SARB033.

>>12329683
shave arms dad

>>12330500
>shaving your arms
fuck off twink.

>>12326431
Agreed.
What would be a good alternative in smaller size?
I like the water resistance but I'd rather my case size be under 39 mm.

Would anybody really care if it said baby-g on my wrist?

Copped a few weeks ago. Definitely very satisfied

>>12325826
very nice comrade. authentic soviet field watch. are you russki?

>>12330786
how much did you pay for it

>>12331052
These watches almost make me boner

Should I cop this one?

>>12331093
This one is affordable but is it worth the 219 $?

>>12331105
There are some cooler moonphases on ebay.

Look up Seiko, Raketa, and Timex moonphase.

>>12331105
This one is also fairly cheap.

>>12331105
>>12331202

I love my Gardé Ruhla, it has a big moon Phase window it has a a Swiss ronda movement. For just 60€. It's not that dressy though.

Can you guys recommend me a strap for pic related? I mostly wear black so a brown strap wouldn't go well and i don't want a gaudy gold strap. how fucked am i

>>12331049
around 5k... got a good deal from a friend secondhand

>>12331418
Did he tell you it was fake before or after you bought it?

>>12331420
tell me how it is fake lol

>>12331420
Please let me know brokeboi

>>12331386
A black nato would look fine i think.

>>12331386
eulit perlon would look great

>>12331438
I was just fucking with you.
/fa/ watch threads are terrible.

>>12298106

>>12314346
kinda fits the aesthetic of the watch desu
I'd rock it as a beater and have another more formal watch for actual events

>>12331483
>>12331645
thanks, will check out eulit perlon, probably black
are there any cloudy not shiny gold straps that are relatively cheap?

>>12326306

I had the original shogun too but sold it. I love my MM300 though. Seiko just really pays beautiful attention to design and contours.
