casio meme squad reporting in and shit

I want to buy a black leather strap for my Timex Weekender. Do I buy a NATO strap or a regular
two piece bracelet?

gold looks cool. Is the led always shitty on these watches or did I happen to get a really shitty one? I can barely see a thing in the dark with this

>>12485209
>Is the led always shitty on these watches or did I happen to get a really shitty one?

what model do you own? do you really think it's shitty? because in my W59 (the watch on the right) the light totally suffices in the dark. I can read the time just fine. it really depends on the light circumstances around you though. in complete dark there is no problem reading it. if you think you need better light, you gotta buy the A168 because it has EL backlighting or the B640 because that one has dual LEDs and lights up the whole display..

>>12484964
I wish this was quartz and not automatic

>>12485221
same here.

>>12485218
I was talking about the f-91w

the led only iluminates near the source so I can only (and barely) see the hours

lol

>>12485257
interesting. well, in mine it's also only one LED but it shines all the way through. I can even read the seconds. maybe the f91w is literally the oldest model available right now. who knows.

i took the cheap route

>>12485423

Opinions?

>>12485221

>>12484964

SNKs look like dogshit on the stock straps, but to be fair, anything would. Toss 'em on leather and man, those motherfuckers pop. ESPECIALLY considering they're fifty bucks.

Does anybody know where I can find an SNKL23? Seems like they've been discontinued.

I copped a Seiko SKX007 on Massdrop recently. First mechanical / not-totally-pleb watch. I plan to put it on a super oyster bracelet (pictured). Thoughts on this?

I'll also probably get a perlon (thinking light gray) and a couple of natos.

How legit is Jomashop? Bought a Hamilton King Khaki, and things just seem off. I need to get it sized, so it obviously doesn't sit on my wrist well yet, but I can't seem to get the thing started. In one video I watched, it seemed to be manual as well as automatic, but I can't get that going either. Lastly, and most concerning, there seems to be a jewel stuck to the case back. When the weight swings down, I can still see it through the glass. Did I get scammed, or am I just missing some details because I'm slightly drunk?

Cop or not?

>>12485542
Kinda cool actually. What brand/model is it?

>>12486330
I love my SARB017 bracelet. Makes the watch heavy, but with the heat turning up it's a lot more comfortable. Definitely worth getting one.

>>12486650
It's a Russian Poljot Kirova with 3133 chronograph movement. It's a Russian homage to the WW2 German Tutima/Glashütte/Hanhart chronographs. Well not sure if homage is the best word since the Soviets made this model since the occupation of east Germany after the war.

Someone know what this watch is?

>>12486512

Jomashop is G2G. Might just have a lemon

i will buy one of these. What's the price for one of these online?

>>12487438
$13 on amazon

>>12487438
Yea they're super cheap. Like 14 bucks! If you live in the US and have a target near you they sell them for 18 and you don't gotta wait a few days for shipping.

>>12486840
How much did you pay and how do you like it? I have looked at Hanhart before, but for that price I'd rather get something else.

>>12487473
My 2 latest purchases. I actually am upset with the one furthest from my wrist. It's too big for my wrist and the face is plastic. Didn't notice until I left the store

Ive bought a few watches off trustytime and they are fantastic fakes. Youd have to be a cery knowledgable wis to know my rolex is fake. Its nice being able to spend $200 on some of the finest watches ever designed. Plus i get to stick it to those douchebags that spend 8k on a real sub

>>12487487
wow anon you must be so quirky and unique

>>12487520
Why are they douchebags just cause they can afford the real thing? Wouldn't you be stoked if you could afford the real thing?

Just got this for my birthday to wear around the office with business casual fits.

>>12487529
Where in my post did I say that I was quirky and unique?

I've seen these watches posted here before, which is the reason that I purchased them.

>>12487542
That's a beautiful watch!

>>12487569
Thanks m8! I love citizen watches. This one was only about $180. I'm all about that graphite/charcoal gray face with the rose gold casing.

>>12487587
>>12487542
looks great. Can you give me the name of the watch?

>>12487594
http://www.citizenwatch.com/en-us/watches/watch-detail/?model=AO9003-08E&mobile_switch=desktop
Here's the listing. I got it on sale from a jewelry warehouse, so you should shop around

>>12487587
Yea bud, that color scheme is awesome! Probably going to have to copy cat purchase that watch! Haha

I love this one

>>12487601
He'll yeah dude. If you find a good copy post it up, I go from my office to the production floor a lot and I'm afraid of scratching up my good watch, so having a good looking fake would be great.

>>12486668
Could you tell me what watch that is?

What would you choose?

>>12487618
I think the boccia looks a lot better.
Better color, I like the clean circles around the smaller dials, and it's better proportioned. The Seiko may be better quality but the aesthetic is worse.

Any love for the Vostok Amphibia? I paid £55 for this brand new, got a replacement 'clean' bezel from eBay for £12

>>12487627
Kinda cool but the big icons make it look pretty kitschy.

>>12484976

>>12487616
Seiko SARB017.

I need a non metal casual watch I can wear all the time to cover a wrist tattoo for work.
What are some decent watches with sort of wide wristbands, not leather cuff stuff

which one? left is 168, right is 158

which one?

bup

>>12488206
Left

>>12488263
i was leaning towards left aswell, thanks for the feedback i will now buy them

>>12488206
I have both. I only wear the left, it's much better.

I am looking for a stark white faced minimalist watch that I could put on a canvas nato strap. Any suggestions other than timex weekender?

>>12488337
go for a perlon strap instead

>>12488338
hmm I like that. I didn't know those existed. thanks

Who /calculator/ here

>>12488351
I wear this one daily. It's received several compliments

>>12488351
>>12488356
Meme tier of meme watches

>>12488024
Put that on a NATO boss, great for the heat

>>12488369
Yea, nah I'll pass. Steel is where it's at.

>>12487973
fuck off normie

>>12488206
depends. left is bigger but has EL backlighting. right one is smaller but has only side led lighting. consider B640 as third Option.

Its nice and all but i should had bought a g chock 5600

>>12488351
super comfy.

>>12484964
why do weird little virgins love these watches?

>>12488486
we know you always shit on Seiko 5s and you hate them.

>>12484964
How do I thicken my wrists so watches don't look retarded?

>>12488495
You get smaller watches

>>12487485
I love it, the quality is alright and the movement is tough and reliable. I paid 200 for it used on eBay. These new go for about 400€.

>>12488495

>>12488495
go for a 33-36mm case diameter size.
it's what I do. I can't even wear anything beyond 38mm without looking goofy af.

so small Casios and 36mm literally who brands it is for me while being lefthanded on top of that.

Wanted a Timex for casual/daily wear.

Copped this while in Kyoto but have just switched to nike+ apple watch as I'm now running/gym

Got this as a gift, what do you guys think?

>>12488731
looks great. I think you made a thread about this one.

>>12488850
>>12489207

just...no. I'm sorry.

>>12489207
Only the brave will wear that watch in public.

>>12488731
Which one is that anon? Looks really good

>>12488731
love it!

>>12488731
>>12489229
Seconding this request

So I'm interested in buying my first mechanical dress watch. What brands should I be looking at? My budget is $200-400, leaning toward the former if I can.

thoughts?

>>12489370
Hamilton, Seiko, or Orient would be a good start

>>12489229
>>12489229
>>12489262
not that guy but it's called the Fairfield Chronograph.

http://global.timex.com/node/102031

>>12487616

Casio Seamaster 91-W

>>12489229
>>12489262
>>12489493
Yeah it's the Fairfield Chronograph. I really like how it looks.

>>12489394
They look great, I was really thinking about getting one a while ago.

Where can I get a decent looking bauhaus style watch? I have one of pic related but I'd like a different color and don't want to buy the same watch twice

not too expensive either pls

Are any of these real, I'm guessing not, did some looking online but couldn't find much.

>>12490543
lol no

>>12490336
pic isn't bauhaus at all

>>12490558
idk what else to call it

either way I am still looking for a bauhaus watch

After I pay off the rest of my yacht, i'll be investing in this baby, can't wait.

>>12490646

>>12490543
very fake. How could you not have stumbled upon one of the thousands of guides? Just looking at the crowns I can easily tell they are fake.

>>12488421
>>12488369
May I ask where you guys purchased those? I'm rather fond of the steel bracelet one

I saw online once the same Alpinist that was white, rather than green, but I'm not sure it actually exists. If it does, I want it.

>>12485209
Leather nato almost always looks dumb imo

>>12488337
Unbranded daniel wellington knock off from aliexpress

>>12486840
That looks beautiful.

That knock off fake Russian eBay shit looks damn good. Too bad they don't work for more than 2-3 years at a time

>>12490844
You're probably thinking of the SARB013, it's harder to find than the green SARB017 so it will naturally go for a higher price. Unfortunately I don't know exactly how much rarer or more expensive it will be.

>>12488636

Thanks!

I just bought this, can I kill myself yet?

>>12490857
It's not a knock off, this model is based on a post ww2 soviet chronograph from the time he Soviets occupied eastern Germany and therefore aquired all the machinery, movements and design rights from the chronograph manufacturers from the city of Glashütte in Thuringia.
See pic related.
And saying the movement doesn't last more than 4 years just shows your ignorance. 3133 movements have been made since the 50s and many pieces can be found that have been working since without ever needing a service.

>>12490648
My thoughts exactly.

>>12490844
EBay. They're about to be discontinued so expect the price to only go up, and the bracelet is from the SARB 013/015.

>>12490920
The SARB013 is a bitch to find and cost SARX money.

>>12491333
Thanks for the info. God damn, the SARB013 is sexy. Shame it's hard to get your hands on one.

>>12490543
that fucking date window

>>12491011
shouldve just bought a fake rolex it would still be a nicer watch

>>12490927
>oh the one on the left is neat
>look it up
>2 grand

fuck

>>12491632
there are so many Bauhaus meme Homos copycat watches. just buy a cheap one. it will just look like the homos,.

>>12491646
Any brands in specific?

>>12491686
Junkers
Junghans
Dugena
Liv Morris
Bergmann
Gigandet
Aristo
Zeppelin

Rodina
Stowa

these two specifically. Rodina is especially affordable.

>>12491426
I don't want a fake rolex though, I am also considering this(Parnis ST3600) because I like the IWC Big Pilot alot and i dont have the money for the real thing

>>12485257
I got the Casio illuninator. The whole thing lights up. Much better.

>>12491814
I watched a smartwatch channel today and the dude remembered he still had this Casio FE-10-1A right here.

I never saw that model anywhere before so once amazon has one again I might pick one up. this one also has EL backlighting.

>>12487542
This is why I opened the thread. Looks great Anon

>>12490646
Are you an early 90's rapper by chance?

I've decided I definitely don't like this watch on a NATO, I need something stiffer. I'm thinking a natural rubber strap because I have one on another watch and I love it, would this look good on my SBDN028?

I'm welcome to any other suggestions.

>>12492273
OYSTER GLIDE LOCK BRACELET

>>12492515
Is there even such thing as a black 22mm oyster glidelock?

>>12488731
The Fairfield honestly caused a "wtf i love timex" moment for me.

>>12491632
Want to know the best part? The Nomos is considered "entry level/affordable" in watch circles. Like >>12491724 said though, the Rodina is the way to go for actual poorfags.

Cheap watch i got for Christmas on a new nato. I think it looks like a decent summer wear, wbu?

Who still makes good tropical NATOs? C&B doesn't seem to make them anymore.

Ok please help me. I wanna buy a watch but my wrist is thin as fuck + my hand is big so it makes wrist look even smaller. What kind of watches should i wear?

>>12487603
the bezel is pretty bad on this but I love the b-uhr dial aesthetic

>>12487603
>13mm case depth

I hate "wrist clock towers".

>>12492907
Seiko makes a lot of <38mm watches ranging from field to dress.

>>12490844
Yeah, I picked out on eBay, got a good price on it, came with a leather strap but switched on the NATO

>>12493705
It's amazing how awful the stock strap is. It's so bad I wouldn't even fault them for not even including it.

>>12493713
Exactly, my PADI came with a braclet but it was Shit, it's on a NATO but imma get a jubliee for it.

>>12493747
Luckily the "stock" bracelet for the SARBs. Seikos dive watches have a ton of aftermarket bracelet options (unlike the SARBs).

>>12493779
Never finished my statement. Luckily they're good quality.

>>12491799
cop or naww?

>>12493838
Do they make one with blued hands? If so, cop.

Got this recently. I love the look, just wish it was thinner, 11mm is a bit too much.

>>12485221
I need you to stop

>>12485221
Timex makes a very similar one, although the hours and minutes are switched around.

>>12494433
Boy am I retarded, I mean that it has a 12 hours and 24 hours instead of the hours and minutes of the Seiko.

>>12494514
Muh dick!

>>12494502
what is the appeal of g shock watches? I understand the small retro casios, but bulky complex digital watches i never got

>>12494633
>what is the appeal of g shock watches?

sturdiness and varied functionality. they are heavy duty watches. you barely can kill them. plus, they do have their own charm (call it adventurous if you want) and can be effay if they pop on your wrist.

I'm a wristlet but I want a Baby G or something.
I think it would look cool because you can show it off more than any regular dress watches.

>>12494656
or actually I'd probably buy this one.
I think I can pull it off. not from the G-shock line however.

>>12494633
Durable. I use a GMW-5600 for when I'm drilling, or doing something involving welding/grinding.

Just got pic related as a gift. On the fence about keeping it. Don't know a single thing about watches though. Thoughts?

>>12494684

>>12494425
I appreciate the engineering and craftsmanship that makes automatic wristwatches possible but it's still a $50 piece
I want it to be practical, 40 hours of power reserve without the possibility of windig is not practical at all

>>12494436
I like the hours and minutes and the more sophisticated look of the seikos

I'll most likely cop an expedition at some point though

>>12491247

>>12486902
PLEASE I NEED AN ID

>>12494659
i have pretty much the same model(w211) for 7 years, its tough like a fucking tank but visibility is fucked up comared to other models and this metal bezel will look like cheap crap after some time. Choose something diffrent bro and 50M sucks as well

>>12495223
thanks for letting me know. I'm open to recommendations because these are very good watches.

>>12495233
for this price you have a lot of better watches.

>>12494686
It's a fashion brand, not a good watch, probably the cheapest Chinese parts and materials, but no reason not to wear it, if you like how it looks.

Personally I think it's ugly. if you want an opinion of a random stranger. Visible screws don't look good on any watch, 2 smaller dials overlap the 3rd, circle groove patter looks broken around the date and in general it just isn't an attractive design. And WTF is up with that 24 dial? A chronograph should have minutes, seconds and 1/10 seconds. Not that it would help, it's hard to read even minutes on that dial.

>>12495688
i love those functionalist brauns

>>12495690
I've got an 805 and I find it to be a good size. If 38-42mm watches look at home on your wrist, it may be a bit too small though.

>>12495666
Look into Parnis watches then. They're knockoffs of the IWC Big Pilot (But unlike a fake Rolex or Omega, no one will judge you unless they're a turbo autismo watch snob), but it's one of the nicer pilot watches in your price range that's automatic.

>>12495724

what do you guys think?

My relatives recently gave me this watch as a gift, and while I appreciate the gift it isn't really my style. What watch should I consider getting in exchange for it since it's from Macy's.

I want a nice simple military style watch that's not too bulky.

I kind of like the mwc one but they all look too chunky. Any suggestions?

There's one in /g/ too, but they're either full on "Why do I need anything more than this F-91W, expensive watches are for normies", or full on horologists who crank it tourbillons.

Automatic, sapphire crystal, titanium case and strap, for 190 euros. Seems too good to be true desu.
It's sexy af, but at the same time it's a lot of money for me.

>>12486512
It's a grey market dealer, never heard anyone having problems with it but now you're kind of SOL since you shouldn't have access to Hamilton warranty. Also automatics should work out of the box, you'll need to work it out with them directly or go to a watchmaker and have him do a quick checkup

>>12488495
Get a thinner watch like a JLC Reverso, the same Seiko OP has with a leather bracelets etc

>>12489370
In this range Eco-Drives, Seiko, Hamilton, Tissot, Seagull, maybe some vintage Omega

>>12494633
Soldiers love them, extremely durable, quartz accuracy and when one is bust they can just get another one.
Add to that people and WIS usually consider it their go-to "fun" watch.
Finally as far as digital display goes, there's not much better out there.

>>12495658
Mechanical pilot at this price is probably Parnis or Seiko

>>12498772
Always like seeing Vostoks, n1 m8

>>12498852
Orients are incredible value, it's very good and it is true. It's a lot of money but if you fall in love with watches you're gonna be spending a lot more down the line when you grab your grail

PS : everyone wanting to ask anything about watches, I'm confident I can ask most questions, recommendations, opinion on watches and shit. Hmu if you're curious about something

>>12497554
I was seriously thinking about getting a Ball instead of my Omega because I'm such a tritium whore.

What bothered me was Ball's lack of new models and the few new models were just new dial changes. I'm really worried that Ball is in their death-throws, by the fact that you can now pre-order watches kickstarter style directly from their Chinese ordering page and not attending basil world for two years in a row.

Believe me I wish it wasn't true, but if anyone ever wanted a tritium watch that is well build and not tacticool, now is the time.

I've got small wrists, and quite happily wear smaller diameter Seikos etc like the OP. However, I need a G-Shock like watch for outdoors shit, but they're all way too big for my wrists from general impressions. Do they make small ones for wristlets like me?

>>12498919
>chinese
???

>>12498560
can you id those first 2 watches pls?

>>12498938
You can now order ball watches directly from their Chinese web portal. It looks very sketchy, but it's official. It's so sketchy that paypal blocks all transactions from that page, and I know that as a fact because I tried buying a watch from their using paypal.

>>12498930
Have you looked into the Baby Gs?
http://www.baby-g.com/watches

Otherwise why not a smaller dive watch like the new 37mm captain cook or a used 36mm omega smp?

>>12498930
Expensive but good for your wrist size

https://www.seiyajapan.com/collections/casio/products/g-gw-5000-1jf

>>12498945
could you link me to the page? never heard of it

>>12498945
in case you mean shop.ballwatch.ch, .ch is the tld of switzerland, and there really isn't much chinese about the website other than the fact that there is a chinese language option.

Posted in the /g/ thread, so I'll post here as well. 1973 Air-King-Date. Has a shitty aftermarket crystal fitted, hence why it's scratched to death.
>>12484976
Good watches, but I've grown to hate them because of the retards who wear them as they cannot tell the time with analog.
>>12485042
I dig it. I'd most definitely cop if it wasn't for my bitchwrists. I like some of the day-date Rolex homage watches that Orient produce.
>>12485221
Consider suicide.
>>12485542
Cool, I like it. If it were mine, I'd change the strap though.
>>12486531
Not.
>>12486668
I really fucking like this. You're the same guy from /g/, right? Is that thing custom?
>>12487542
10/10 choice. Love ecodrives. Nearly bought one when I was looking for a new watch a couple of years ago.
>>12487627
Not a huge fan of the dial, but all around it's a nice watch.
>>12490543
100% fake. Could be useful if you want to source some cheap quartz movements for parts I guess.

Posting another to give more Anons a rate. Here's my 1960 Tudor. Managed to smash it while running to a Chinese takeout place while drunk. My legs forgot how running works, and I ended up cutting my legs and arm open. Shit was not cash.
>inb4takethebeadsoffyoufaggot
>>12498852
Orients are fantastic. Really amazed that they haven't beefed up their prices after all of these years. I'd cop this if I were you. Really nice looking. Mind hitting me up with a link?
>>12498560
I like the second one from the left. Others are sort of not doing much for me though.
>>12498557
[Screaming Intensifies]
>>12497554
Very cool, but they're a little big for my liking.
>>12497046
Looks great, I'd change that strap for something else though. Is it quartz or auto?
>>12496924
10/10, I'd rather have one of these than a Submariner.
>>12495972
>I took off the NATO strap and put on my bracelet at the start of summer
Absolute madman. Really nice watch, love the dial on yours especially.
>>12495724
I can vouch for most Parnis watches. Quality is superb, especially for the money. Alpha are also very good if you're looking for a Rolex Explorer homage, or an Omega Seamaster homage.

>>12498557
stop, i can only cüm so much

hi

Let's see some collections /g/, I wanna see some family photos

My collection is pretty shit tier rn but I love em. Bottom left is a carriage my dad got me when I was a kid, top left is the gshock I wear to work, 2nd from the right is a caravelle my girlfriend got me for Easter.
One next to that is a Laco/1925 that I overpaid for (180$ for a quartz), the 2nd and 3rd from the left are my two new Vostoks I just got two days ago, and the top right is a little 40$ Timex expedition I picked up at walmart

>>12499120
>copied and pasted from /g/ and forgot to change it to /fa/
heh

>>12499120
I think your Dad and GF have better taste than you do but if you love em all that's all that matters.

>>12499138
If it makes you feel better I found my dads watch yesterday after it being missing for several years, and I wear my girlfriends watch when I dress up if my clothes match it

Why aren't old school digital watches cool in the same way dad hats are?

>>12499248
>Old school digitals
>Not cool
Old school digitals are the best.
-t. >>12493818

>>12499261
Yeah, WE think they're cool, but people only like classic style watches and probably see this sort of thing as an autism watch

>>12499267
It's for the best though, because that means less RARE! VINTAGE WATCH! COLLECTORS ITEM I KNOW WHAT I GOT 5000 DOLLAR STARTING BID NO LOWBALLERS (As is - for parts or repair).

tell me why i shouldn't get an orient trooper/sentry/ranger

-automatic
-sapphire
-40mm case
-date
-$150

>>12499299
not only should you get them you should give me a link

>>12497139
lol brah
>>12497152
And?
>>12499054
Thanks dude

>>12495618

>>12499425
Very nice.
What does the rectangular bit do?

>>12495131
>>12486902

Give me a second I know this watch

>>12499436

Stopwatch pushers

>>12486902
>>12495131
>>12499448

Ok, I'm back. I'm 99.9% positive that this is a Skagen watch. Can't find the specific model.

>>12499120

>>12499120

Selling the Citizen because I didn't know what I was thinking when I bought it.

Russian meme watch gains about ten minutes every hour, but gets lots of compliments.

Preferred the beige snk to the black, love it.

Speedy was a bday present to myself, figured I'd never want a luxury watch again once I'd bought my grail. We'll see.

On the lookout for a nice 80s digital or maybe the Ripley Seiko.

>>12499553
Diggiun that seiko. Also Im pretty sure jewelers will tune up your watch for accuracy

too fedora?
(i'll probably get a big fat dive watch instead)

>>12499639
extremely fedora.

ID on the blue strap watch on bottom right. Just seen it and felt a wave of nostalgia, first watch I owned as a kid. Timex?

>>12499553
I was the anon who posted the Giugiaro earlier, love it, but it sucks that i was on able to get the black version rather then the iconic grey one, feel that its gonna start scratching the paint real quick. However, it's a numbered limited edition and it does look really good in black

>step dad laughs and calls me gay when I tell him I had multiple watches and was wearing my Laco/1925 because it matched my jacket

>>12499553
>Russian meme watch gains about ten minutes every hour, but gets lots of compliments.
Get it serviced, you fucking idiot.

>>12499826

Been watching a couple of the actual Ripley ones but can't justify the £700+ most people are asking. Who knows, they might hold their value though.

>>12499921

Asked a couple of places, they've quoted around £100. Seeing as I only paid 20 it doesn't seem worth it.

>>12499808
literally a fucking fake leather blue strap you autist

>>12499974

I mean the watch you fucking spaz.

>>12499462
Sadly it isn't I checked all their watches and it seems like skagen only has the logo on 3 o'clock and not the lower / upper part. Thanks for your effort tho

Found my great grandfather's watch in the attic today. Is it effay?

>>12499081
Rare to see a good looking Hamilton imo. This one's beautiful, good on ya m8

>>12499299
Literally no reason not to get an Orient unless you can get better

>>12499639
Too fucking ugly anyways

>>12500208
Don't know what effay means but old school Bulova are always great, this one looks really good. is it automatic, quartz or high frequency ?

>>12500250
It is kenetic, that is all I know

It's so beautiful, I'm copping it

I am looking to get an older smaller (wristlet) cartier tank soon and I don't know which model I shouls go for...I guess either louis, francaise or solo

Somebody got one?

>>12500517
I know you said Cartier, but have you considered a Reverso?

>>12499639
I like i a lot

>>12499639
It's still pretty fedora, but the Murf is a cooler watch than the Rotolog. I remember wanting one years ago.

>>12495688
Aesthetic. I fucking love Braun

I'm brand new around here and I'm trying to be more /fa/. If you had $100 to spend on a watch what would you get?

>>12500776
I would get 5 casio f91

>>12500783
Lol not really the kind of advice I was looking for

>>12500783
Boo this man. Any other cheap watch. Any.

>>12500771
Don't they make cheap trimmers?

>>12500796
lmao you're right. this one is better

>>12500796
example of a better cheap digital watch?

>>12500802
the pic right above your post. Or DW5600. Or the a158

>>12500776
If you want a surprisingly good watch then grab a Parnis Portuguese off of Dajiwatch or other trusted Parnis retailers (there's a list on watchuseek). For less than 90$ you have an automatic accurate between 5 and 15 seconds depending on people, 40h power reserve + indicator and small second indicator. It is absurdly high value for the price (if a Swiss brand made it it probably wouldn't retail for less than a thousand dollars).
Only downside = no sapphire crystal. I also recommend you eventually change the strap down the road. Here's a pic of mine with butterfly clasp

>>12500825
>It is absurdly high value for the price (if a Swiss brand made it it probably wouldn't retail for less than a thousand dollars).
You know it's a straight knockoff of the IWC Portuguese, right? It's what Rodina is to Nomos.

>>12500825
too fedora lounge

>>12487487
I have the same in black I use it primarily for running

>>12497046
>>12499054
It's Quartz.

>>12500776
Buy the watch >>12484964 posted. It's a good start to automatic watches, and only about 55 bucks

>>12500840
No shit Sherlock, Portugeiser for the IWC by the way, except the IWC has an actual chronometer and retails for more than 10K. It's not a straight knockoff if it doesn't have the same features

>>12499639
most autistic watch ever

>>12500800
I own the w59. can recommend. it's better than the f91 because of more WR and still costs the same.

>>12500806
>Or the a158

the a158 is the same as a f91. only difference is the metal bracelet. everything else is the same. w59 is better.

>>12500802
b640 is great too but it's 10mm case depth but it has a newer display and dual leds. pretty cool watch regardless but usually like 30 euros/dollars.

>>12500877
How do these look with bond style nato straps?

>>12501271

breddy gud, providing you don't have toothpick wrists like pic related.

>>12500883
so its a shitty knockoff?

>>12501327
Sweet thanks dude

>>12501271

Same goes for the 803

>>12501327
Not that guy but I've been looking at these for a while. I have really large wrists though. I'm
>>12494502
And if you're familiar with that g-shock it's pretty large and I make it look normal sized. How do those seikos do on large wrists?

just got this today
it's my fist watch
r8

Which watch should I get? I'd put a NATO strap on the Seiko but it wouldn't be right to put a NATO on the Tissot, right?

They both cost about the same.

My first watch, gifted to me when I was 16. It's not worth much but it has at least some sentimental value.

R8?

>>12484964
sure

>>12501347
asking us to rate something that was most likely recommended to you due to exemplary reviews of it being both affordable and good looking. what the fuck else do you want us to say if you bought one of the most basic and recommended watches to ever exist? looks good.

>>12501355
It depends, the tissot is very dressy, but you might pull it off on a NATO, an olive color or so. The Seiko in my opinion is a nice sports watch and you and wear for a formal occasion with the steel braclet.

>>12500799
They make a lot of appliances. Most of which are aesthetic af. Apple actually copied a lot of their designs. Even their headquarters is pretty neat too.

>>12500567
Yeah but too thicc and not cheaper

>>12488351
I want to but no illumination the ca-53w and no water resistance on this >>12488356
I might grab a weekender chrono though. Really like the indiglo meme

>>12501347
thinking of buying the same
this or the regular variant

>>12500799
They're definitely associated with trimmers and coffee makers here in the States, but Braun has made a lot of stuff in the past decades, from turntables to food processors.
Here's an industrial design student spank bank with a lot of Braun and some of Dieter Rams' other stuff.

>>12500250
>Don't know what effay means
how can somebody simultaneously be this new and yet know that there are watch threads on this board?

>>12500208
nothing this nice was ever in my grampa's attic. jelly af. not sure about that band, tho. if it's original, then for sure keep it. if it's aftermarket, ditch it for something more conservative without all those wavy lines

Daily beater

>>12494633
techwear fits

>>12501347
really jealous that my wrists are too pathetic for this one desu

>>12484964
My bulova!

>>12501337
you could get a bigger Seiko if you want.
like a chronograph.

these SNK models however are mostly 38mm watches. so you'll have to find out which is your prefered watch size according to your own wrist.

I'm a wristlet so I barely go beyond 38mm case diameter. guess I draw the line at 40mm.

Ordered yesterday.

>>12487487
So I gotta ask what's up with the shape of your wrist and hand?

>>12487520
Can anyone else vouch for this site? Poorfag that has always wanted an Omega here and if I could get a decent replica for less than $200 of be totally down. Just want to make sure that the actual watch itself is decent enough

>>12502800
*I'd be

>>12484976
my band just broke today, i've been wearing it everyday only taking it off for showers. 2 years. how do i go about changing bands and stuff?

>>12502844
would be cheaper to buy a new watch desu

>>12502848
oh ok. should i get the one with the calculator or just get the same one again?

>>12502852
You should get a Seiko G757 which is hands down the greatest bestest watch ever made.

>>12502747
>He actually bought a Denzel Washington

>>12500348
Check out the SARX033. I'm planning to cop one as soon as I can afford it.

>>12500783
Nigga he has $100, he can get GWM-5600 for that money. 91w aesthetics, but shock proof, solar, and atomic syncing.

>>12502844
this watch has pins inside. there are instructions on youtube. you can find straps on amazon but then again, you might as well buy a new one instead.

>>12502852
whatever you desire more. I'd get one with a metal bracelet instead. those don't break but you could also look at Lorus digital watches. they are a seiko-based company and they are gonna be very durable too. they might be too big though. looking at a child sized one right now because those are closer to the retro casio
ones.

>>12502339
What's the model number of this?

I've been looking for a dress watch and I am almost desperate. You are my last resort /fa/

* Considered options:

- pic related
- Bering 11938-000
>>12503064 would be great if it wasn't automatic
- casio MTP-1183PA-7A (but it's probably too small for me)
- casio MTP-V005D-7A (does not really dress that well)

also something in the lines of Daniel Wellington would be interesting, but I don't think their price is fair. Unbranded replicas are out of the question because I don't want to be perceived as that kind of guy.

* Desired characteristics:

My wrist size is 6.3 inches. So I think the perfect size would be 39 or 40 mm.

I just want something as simple as possible that does not have extra stuff.

- Only three hands and I don't mind if the numbers are also missing.
- A watch with a metal or a leather strap.
- All colours are welcome except for gold or rose gold.
- Something that will last at least 5 years (I take good care of my things anyway)

My budget is < 90 € but I would really really want to stay below 60 €

It seems the simpler the watch the more expensive they are! I've seen some really hideous things in my price range that would be decent if they didn't have so much additions. I thought it was reasonable that the less stuff a watch has the cheaper it would be.
