>>12346363

>>12346373

>>12346399

>>12346388
I had a SARB017 before and didn't really like the thickness and (I know this is retarded) general feel. As for orient I really don't care for their logo or designs in general. I don't know, there's something kind of faux-elegant about orient pieces and some lower-end seikos that really turns me off.

>>12346399
Ideally under $500 but could go as high as $1000 if it was really compelling.

Do you guys think pic related is too weird or feminine?

>>12346481
>ideally under $500 but could go as high as $1000 if it was really compelling.

Maybe a vintage omega. Check ebay. Can't go wrong with sarb033 either, but you said you didn't like the 017

>>12346536
>Feminine
No
>Weird
Yes, but that's okay. As long as you understand the history of the Hamilton Ventura and can at least explain a little bit about the that to the average person who asks, you'll be fine. It was the first electronic (battery) watch produced, back in the 1950's, so that's cool.

I like cheap shitters, probably my next one.

>>12346481
I felt the same way about my SARB017. Then I got a Seiko turtle and wore that for awhile. Came back to the SARB017 a week later and it felt so light.

Maybe go for something thinner. Like this Hamilton. 10mm thin.

I'm new to watches
Probably gonna get this
Any thoughts?

>>12346826
I've got it, I like it.
I think I got it around $45 on Amazon.
I had to buy something when I was being tempted to get a $5k+ watch haha.

>>12346826
They are okay for the price but dont expect it to last very long and you might get one where the chronometer seconds hand is not centered in its default position

>>12346826
>>12347001
>Don't expect it to last very long
What?

>>12347229
Here on /fa/, Timex has the reputation of falling apart.
I'm not really sure where this comes from, because I have an Expedition that still works fine after a lot of wear.
Since you're new to watches, that would be a solid first choice. Even if it does crap out, at least you didn't spend much on it.

Is there any point in getting a nice watch if I don't normally dress well? I've been reading about mechanical watches and have become kinda fascinated, looking at a couple in the 1k-2k range.
But I never wear suits, the most I dress up for work is a polo or button down with khakis or something like that. Otherwise I wear a tshirt and a pair of nice-ish jeans.

>>12347712
Plenty of nice watches that can also go with casual fits. What watches are you looking at?

>>12347712
just get an skx007

>>12347886
Been looking at Nomos watches, I like this one quite a bit.

>>12347396
It's because of garbage quartz Weekenders, which always fall apart after 6-20 months of use.

>>12348457
Nomos watches are notorious shitters.

>>12348457
I think almost all Nomos models look fine with casual wear. As long as you're not getting one with gold indices or something.

>>12346153

Any Speedy Pros hold their value better than others? Not looking to buy to invest but knowing I could get my money back would be a big draw.

Was looking at getting one from the year I was born. Looking around there seems to be fewer from 1986 and they didn't use sapphire then as far as I'm aware, plus a display back would be nice.

>>12347712
>Is there any point in getting a nice watch if I don't normally dress well? I've been reading about mechanical watches and have become kinda fascinated, looking at a couple in the 1k-2k range.

Unless you're really interested in watch movement or horology, there is no point in spending that much for an auto. Even if you spend 1-2k, you're still getting a shitty pleb-tier auto.

If you're a beginner and have casual style, just get a diver to get your feet wet i.e skx007. save your money, anon. spend more in the future if you want to turn it into a hobby

>>12348497
All used versions seem to hold their value fine, just don't buy new.

Vintage, rarer references are the only ones likely to gain any value because Omega pumps out so many speedys a year.

>>12347712

If you want an auto then you can't go wrong with an SNK, SKX or Alpinist for a quality piece on a budget. Or a Hamilton khaki if you're looking at spending a bit more. Look at divers or military style automatics for something which will look smart but not too dressy. Can always buy whatever you like then stick it on a NATO or leather strap for a more dressed down look.

Always loved pic related for an entry level luxury watch if you want to spend around 2k.

>>12348534

My thoughts exactly. Recently went looking down the preowned route because I know there's no use in buying new, and thought one from my birth year would be nice.

I am about to pull the trigger on a Omega Seamaster Pro 300m Automatic in Electric Blue has the 1120 movement in it. I think it's one of the most beautiful watches ever made. Now here's what's bothering me this is the first nice watch I will have purchased and it's a little flashy not a standard black/white dial and stainless it has that gorgeous blue dial and the polished stainless. This has forced me to consider buying the Speedmaster Professional which is considerably more boring aesthetically but still historically meaningful. I know they both have good movements although I prefer the auto.

I know I will end up buying the moonwatch at some point but the auto SMP 300s in this color are getting rarer and more expensive and I love this watch should I follow my heart or go with a more traditional watch?

I mean the Electric blue with a brown strap or a nato strap is going to look amazing.

It's just something about the black with the black tach and dial makes me think it's more versatile. Although I know that the stainless band or a black leather band is the only way to wear it.

I need some opinions. The two I am looking at are almost the exact same price so that's not a factor. The reason I am buying it is to celebrate the fact that I am making real money. I also graduated from college a year ago and never got myself anything to celebrate.

>>12348810

Beauty is in the eye and everything...personally I think the Speedy is much nicer looking but they are both beautiful watches. Sounds like you've got your heart set on that one, so I'd say go for it. Like you said, it's easy to dress it down with a nato or leather strap. Remember you're buying for you, not anyone else.

>>12348810

It's not like a blue face is going to look that much more flashy than black. Blue is still versatile as fuck.

>>12348810
More info.. I don't wear a suit. I wear a mix between street wear brands and fashion brands when I am not working. I have my own style but sometimes I incorporate certain trends I like for example colors or patterns that are popular that season. My formal attire is incredibly basic I have One White Turnbull & Asser Dress Shirt and One Navy Blue Brooks Brothers Suit. I wear this suit maybe twice a year. I would love to have a flashy suit like something from Thom Browne but it would be a waste plus straight guys that aren't in the NBA or Models can't seem to pull this style off. The most formal I get is Jeans and a shirt with a sports jacket. At work I wear jeans and a Flannel sometimes corduroys. I am in the contracting business right now but I am only doing it to save money for law school and I like the fact that I can live in a place I like and make a lot of money for 40 hours a week. So I plan to enjoy it while it lasts I am only 24.

>>12348828
>>12348834
Thanks both of you... the thing is I know I am going to buy the speedy its just I know omega isn't going to just stop making their claim to fame and they have already made so many I will find it no problem.

However the Auto movement combined with that Dial color is rare and it makes me worry about acquire one at a reasonable price if I wait.

>>12348849
I thought I would be doing what all my friends are doing which is working their asses off for 40k a year or working till 3 am and making 200k. I am sitting somewhere in the middle at 75k and I don't mind working in the construction business I started not long ago. I have done all kinds of shit I sold cars for a year before college and I worked at a lobbying firm for one summer and a law firm the next. I have to say being able to show up to work in the same beat up jeans and boots everyday is sort of nice. As much as I love fashion and looking good when I am not at work. Dressing like a bum and not worrying about what other people think is nice I have a beard and long hair for the first time in my life and it's actually nice.

>>12348810
Always follow your heart with these things anon. Since you're actually buying the watch for you, and not to be some gaudy flex focused guy, just get the one that makes you the most happy. Both are fantastic watches, so it's not like you're wasting money. Best of luck to you.

>>12350429
ive not tested its limits but its fine when im washing dishes or shaving

I'm looking for a minimalistic gold (or gold toned metal) watch for under 700 dollars. Can anyone give me some good suggestions.

Looking on Ebay, I'm seeing lots of vintage Omega's for under $500. Sure, lots of them look worn, but the price seems too good to be true. Are these fakes, or did Omega just really escalate the prices on their new watches because they know people will pay?

>>12350725
>or did Omega just really escalate the prices on their new watches because they know people will pay?

Yeah it's this. They're owned by a conglomerate who own lots of watch brands who've been slowly positioning them as higher and higher end. Most of the stuff that's cheap is from when they were a cheaper brand.

Oh shit

>>12350888

>>12351338
because you wont have a quality watch.
there are several reviews on youtube about how to spot a fake casio and what that means.

>>12351501
all of those involve someone getting close enough to tell and someone who knows how to spot it. as the guy said, for two quid its a great everyday watch

>>12351539
>all of those involve someone getting close enough
>knows how to spot it

Thanks for all the responses guys.

I've been going back and forth on buying the silver one. On the one hand I really like how it looks, but on the other I feel like it may be too played and I don't wanna look a fuckboi.

And before someone says "who cares wear what you want", fashion is nothing if not contextual.

>>12351539
thing is, I also care about packaging. there is nothing worse in the world than buying a chinese knock off watch and then receiving it in a bag or plastic sleeve and then you see a fuckload of gashes and scratches on it while it's a cheap plastic case on top of that.

Was gonna buy a speedmaster or an explorer but got this beauty instead might get a gramd seiko next now instead

Can you guys help me out?

im looking for a watch that i can wear for work when im dressed in a fine suitlike looking shirt but that also fits as sort of a highlight when im wearing a rather "light" outfit for chillin like joggingpants and a long sleeved shirt

right now i am thinking about something like pic related.
I would love to have some gold parts on the watch.

I am afraid tho that pic related wouldn't fit the lighter style.

I have no idea of watches so maybe you can give me some tips /fa/

>>12353002
forgot to mention that i'd like to spend something like 120-150€ max.
Anything below goes.

>>12353002
does it have to have a moonphase?
the one you showed seems like a cheap chinese quartz and the gold is too flashy for a light outfit imo

>>12353002

>>12353013
oh yeah i forgot to mention that i couldn't find the exact one i was looking at on google here is the link.

https://www.zalando.at/henry-london-westminster-uhr-brown-h0i52m004-o11.html

The moonphase is no requirement i am open for anything even watches without gold parts desu.

>>12353015
>>12353006
>forgot to mention that i'd like to spend something like 120-150€ max.

so /fa/ is all crazy about F-91w.
but instead of the black one I'm gonna buy this yellow one to get some variety into my watch game and cause I need a digital watch anyway.

does /fa/ approve?
other colors are pink, light blue, green, grey and orange. except for the pink one and yellow they all look horrible.

>>12352852

Love it. Love the tunas. Grand seiko SBGJ001 is next on my list.

>>12354442
Damn good taste anon and yea This tuna had been on my grail lost for a while and a saw a deal to good to pass up. Grand seiko has some crazy good watches. The GMT with the sapphire bezel is beautiful.

>>12353002
Probably a seiko 5. Put it on a nato strap for casual. Put it on leather for formal. Maybe an Orient

>working retail

So, I guess the meme is true, Those who buy Rolex's tend to know nothing about watches but have a lot to spend

Any suggestions for analog watch or a minimalist digital watch under $30?

You'd have to be an idiot/incredibly try-hard "watch guy" not remove your watch before playing volleyball of all sports. It's literally the only sport where you HIT THE BALL WITH YOUR WRISTS. It's not about even damaging your watch, but making it impossible to play effectively.

Damn.

What BLACK/BLUE watch should I get? Looking at the Steinhart but it's expensive and I only wear basic t shirts so I'm like the guy who spends all his money on shoes look

Know this was a while ago but someone in a previous thread asked me to post when my watch arrived and now it has. Pretty happy desu, pictures don't do it justice.

>>12356244

>all fossil

For what purpose?

>>12356257
It's a modern copy of the first watch worn in open space during the first Russian space walk, though that one had gold hands. It has a Russian movement made by essentially the same company who made the original (with Swiss machines that were sold off during the quartz revolution so it's pretty impressive engineering for the price actually) to add some authenticity but it's still a copy.

Popular with nu-males and Reddit. Also called Homos

They can be overpriced and have weird designs like the one that was posted. The lugs are long and the watch has 3 types of numerals on one dial (why?). Other designs are just boring (like the one that was posted). Nothing really wrong with Nomos if you don't care too much and like muh bauhaus look. I suggest you do more research on watches before you get a Nomos

>>12364306
They're fine but IMO there's another sub knockoff by Parnis/Fanmis that's basically better in every way for about $50 more on Amazon. Unless ceramic bezels trigger you

>>12365718
OR come to think of it you could get a Tiger Concepts. Ton of price points - you pick the movement, face, hands, band/bracelet, etc.

>>12365728

I have no idea about watches
wanted to finally buy one maybe

is this any good
or do you have other recommendations

>>12363798
Beautiful mkII, which year? I had one with the regular speedy dial from 1970. I loved it but it never sat on my wrist properly and the bracelet felt crappy so I flipped mine.

Anyone have an ID for this hack's watch?

>>12347712
Put that money on a quartz grand seiko and you're set for life, yo. Seriously. If you don't care about horology or mechanical ticking movements, or don't want to spend money on services, but want something extremely well made, understated and classy, that is your best option.

>>12352111
Vintage seamasters and random nameless omegas are plentiful in silver and champagne dials, less so with black and other colors. 250 for a silver dial, twice that for a black one. Either way, get it serviced, expect to pay around 400 dollars, even more for complete restoration. Ask a lot of questions and ask a lot of pictures from inside and out, ie. you want to see the movement for signs of rust and the dial for water damage. Get one with stainless steel case, gold plated one is more expensive and will look worse with wear and tear. Don't get the first one you see either, shop around. Good luck!

Got my first luxury watch a few weeks ago, really love it!

>>12346687

it sucks that Tag Heuer has this reputation, I like some of their designs

Can you lads recommend me a 40 mm diver under 1000 euros? I seriously don't know any.

I want to upgrade from my beat up Orient. I'd buy an Omega Seamaster if I wanted to spend more.

hamilton khaki king scuba

both quite good. The hamilton is cheaper. ,
Longines Hydroconquest is quite good too, but a little more expensive, but still around the 1000 euros.

Red pill me on Fossil watches

>>12367140
Most Tag Heuer pics are like that.

And it has become a pretty shitty company, they have obviously gone down in quality since they started putting more into advertising and branding. For instance, no watch worth even a few hundred bucks should have any plastic parts in its movement, yet Tags costing thousands do.

It makes sense, Tag is owned by LVMH, so it's a primarily a luxury brand nowadays rather than a watch brand. As I said, I do like their designs and if I was a richfag I'd probably buy one, but since I'm not, I want a better price to quality ratio.

>>12367166
>hamilton khaki king scuba
I love Hamilton but taking their field watch with a day/date and putting a diving bezel around it is pretty ridiculous and ugly.

>victorinox maverick
Nice, I didn't know about a Victorinox diver. I'll try to check it out in person.

>Longines Hydroconquest
I know about this one but it's slightly too expensive and very chunky which doesn't look great on my wrist. I am considering it though.

>>12367173
For around a hundred bucks they're fine buys. Just don't expect to impress anyone with it. Go for a traditional style though -- something that you notice with good brands is that they go for function first and design second. And most of these cheap, non-watch brands fuck up when they try to be fancy (like putting a diver on a leather strap).

If I were you I'd rather pay 200-250 for a quartz Tissot, but it depends on how much you're willing to spend.

If you do want to be cooler, you can buy an automatic Seiko or Orient, there are some in the same price range, it just depends on if you care about having a mechanical movement or not. If not, or you don't know what it means, go for a quartz.

>>12366821
You won't get a ceramic model for that money, but you can easily get a older SMP.

>>12363798
Thanks speedy. Love that watch had one but sold it when I needed money to fix my car. Loved this dial tho.

Thanks guys, this is my first swiss watch, I've only ever owned Seikos before. I used to be really into watches a few years ago and went through a fair amount of newer and vintage Seikos, but settled down out of that and have just been wearing a Seiko 5 for quite a while.

Received the MKII as a surprise gift, so this one will be around for the rest of my life. The case is very thick, but somehow it is actually quite comfortable, and I don't feel that it is too big, even on my 6.5" wrists. And I can see what you mean about the bracelet, but I actually like the way it is- the lightness and flexibility of it are what helps to make the watch work on my wrist.

So Daniel Wellington is trash yes?

Looking at one of these, thoughts? Just like the minimalist look

Is this an actual watch?
These ones look pretty close but not quite what she's wearing.

>>12353353

>>12367881
Just bought a 37mm version for my 3D waifu, it's excellent. Blows DW the fuck out and has a similar design. Get some cheap NATOs from aliexpress and call it a day.

baka why is this watch so sexy

Tayroc has nice watches for a good price.

Unless your making 6 figures or rich why would you waste thousands on a watch?
I would have so much buyer's remorse.

How hard would it be to pull this off? I'd wear it with a solid blue nato or perlon probably

>>12364320

Should I get one of these?

I was thinking about purchasing a vintage speedmaster, but would it be heresay to fit it with a leather strap? Possibly something that looks more rugged, like a rawhide one?

I go on a lot of camping/hiking trips and thought it would be a good piece to pick up and utilize for these sorts of things.

>>12363015
Gorgeous.

>>12369696
Or should I go for the Tudor Black Bay Heritage Bronze? This will be my first watch that's priced over $1000, so I sort of want something that will retain its value and also look good with most fits. $4k is my max.

I stated it would good to wear on camping trips, but obviously I'd desire to use it for everyday use too. My fits usually gravitate towards outdoors look, but it would be nice to be able to use it while dressing up as well; however, it wouldn't be needed as much in these situations.

since it's an anime, no it isn't but the Casio Poptone does come close. it could be a smartwatch too, like a Pebble.

the Poptone looks cool but I probably wouldn't buy it because of it's frame and case depth.

>>12370891
Most of the ones I've seen on Chrono24 are over 5k though. The only ones under 4k seem to either have washed out Earth, Moon, and Mars dials, or they are from sketchy sellers.

It's an interesting one though, and I didn't even know it existed before you told me. I'll keep it as a priority on my buying list for sure, anon. Because that watch does look rad as fuck.

However, it seems like one of the sellers is located in NYC but they're selling the watch for 4,750. I'm going to try and haggle with them by saying that I am looking for one and my asking price is 4k.

>>12373657
No-one buys a watch sight unseen because they've had a good look at the specs, ask most people about their movement however and i bet they don't know shit.
In a world in which everyone has a phone in their pocket watches are purely a fashionable accessory for most people.

>>12371680
I couldve got one for 3600 but got my tuna instead. Really cool looking watch. Im not a fan of the normal speedy dial because for the orice you can find the "LE" dials which look far better. Good luck anon hope your able to post some sex on the wrist soon

>No-one buys a watch sight unseen because they've had a good look at the specs

That street goes both ways. Nobody buys a watch based solely on the way it looks without at least knowing if it's quartz or mechanical. By your logic, most people wouldn't mind if their watch didn't even work since it's "purely a fashion accessory," and everyone has a phone in their pocket that's better at telling time anyway.

No need to get mad just because that ugly, overpriced Burberry watch fucking sucks.

Finally decided to stop being a slob about fashion.

Are Seiko watches any good? Any great watches under $100?

>>12378404
Seiko watches are great. They make tons of watches ranging from ~$50 to thousands of dollars. The Seiko SNK809 was my first automatic and costs about $60.

>>12378451
Looks amazing. Those straps are changeable, right? Do I need tools for that?

>>12378464
I have mine on a black leather strap, I used a £1 tool I got on ebay to swap it

>>12378464
not him but yeah. You could also do it with a knife but watch a couple of videos on youtube first

>>12378469
I can't remember how snug the strap fits on the seiko but with some fabric straps you can do it with your fingernail. Just be careful it doesn't ping off into oblivion

>>12378397
?

What would you say is a good "Blue Collar" watch. I want something for meeting trade clients to drum up business for our auto and bike restoration shop, I want something that isn't too fancy or faggy while meeting with custom motorbike shops, and I don't want something like a G-shock that looks too childish for meeting with the heritage restoration companies.

>>12378697
I think "field watches" similar in style to the Seiko here >>12378451 might fit the bill. There are other models and brands that are a little nicer, but they still look utilitarian - no bezel like a dive watch, no other scales like a pilot's watch, no sub-dials or other complications. Hamilton Khaki is a good classic example.

pic related is about $500 and looks great on the bracelet pictured, a leather strap, or a nato strap.

>>12378772

Cool cheers, I like that a lot.

>>12357876
500 isn't pocket change to spend on a watch it's just not a super flashy watch like omega or rolex. Regardless 500+ watches still have that shitty alligator strap most likely to cut costs on products.

>>12368575
I was between this and a SARB033 but went w/ the latter because of the versatility. Is the dial as prominent as I thought or is it repetitively subtle in person. If it's more quiet I might pick it up desu

>>12372919
right? that shit would dig in to my skin everytime I would angle my wrist.

I've been wanting to try the ones from Synergy for a while. Can you feel the little nubs while wearing the watch?

usually no because the cases are thick enough to keep them off your wrist

>>12378404
>Are Seiko watches any good? Any great watches under $100?

Yes, Seikos are good watches for the price.

For good watches around $100: Seiko 5, Orient, Vostok, Timex, Casio, Citizen.

If you don't care about automatic, just get quartz

>>12364316

just bought these.
also won't buy quartz, won't buy fossil or invicta or any brands that make trash but not looking to go super luxury yet so

i like the one on the far left, how much was that?

>>12380083
15.00usd all three cost 50 rougly. theres a seller or ebay with 700 vintage s5's all of witch have been serviced for sale but you judge from the photos yourself if the cosmetic damage is too much. went back the next day and so many were gone so glad i got them when i did, imo these are the better pick, other great pieces had flaked indices, still some good stuff left for the 40 buck mark.
