Currently have:
Timex Weekender - White dial, Brown Leather Strap
G Shock DW5600E Black Rubber Strap

What do I get next? I was thinking a Seiko 5 in 37mm with a stainless strap bracelet, but not I'm not sure what dial color to get. I'm looking for something to wear most of the time, casually and maybe a little dressed up. Simplicity is nice. I like day/date windows and don't care for numerals.

Orients like look nice but I'm a 6" wristlet and I think they wear too big.

>>13279253

>>13279277
Skx007 or skx009

>>13279277

Guys, I need a metal digital watch.
I like this one, and casio a168, but their cases are made of plastic.
Does anyone know some full-metal models?

>>13279277
Orient Union is a little bit smaller than a Bambino maybe try it instead. If not, Seiko SARB033 is a good way to go in my opinion.

>>13279277
How much do you make per month? It makes a difference here

>>13279366
Only the new gshock 5000 series are full metal.
You should pick up a vintage Seiko.

>>13279374
>Orient Union
A lot of the Orients I'd buy are out of stock. For how long? I don't know.

>>13279376
I'm honestly not looking to spend that much.

Should I?

I don't wear watches anymore, but I'll post what's in my junk drawer

Either way it seems like youd want it so ill take it for what it is

Does anyone know where to buy German watches from the Third Reich? I'm trying to NATSOCHIC my attire.

>>13279646
It would be very hard to find an original in working condition, like all watches in the '40s. Just looking around third reich Depot seems like a good place st start, but you'll also need to get it serviced often so get a repair man who doesn't mind the whole ss thing.

I ordered the Fortis Spacematic Pilot and the Seiko Alpinist as my first automatic watch.

>>13279646
>I'm trying to NATSOCHIC my attire.

Will Natsochic be the mainstream trend of 2019?

Ordered this on Aliexpress, still waiting for it to arrive.

Which of the two watches do you prefer and what band color would suit your choice? I think that I prefer the bottom one but I can't decide what band I should use for it.

How does /fa/ feel about vintage Grand Seiko? I'm trying to find a 45GS like this one, but hopefully a no-date one.

I work in retail and need a new watch. i was thinking g shock or something sporty but idk what to do, i love leather bands so much but its probably not suitable for what i do.
need help, anyone recommend anything?

>>13279812
No

>>13279823
Actually prefer the new ones where they cleaned up the dial and removed the Seiko branding

>>13279823
Vintage GS is great, would have got one if it weren't for the fact that KS is a lot cheaper for very similar design and movements.

>>13280085
I'm open to a 45KS too, I think the 45-7000 KS and 4520-8000 GS are both beautiful and it seems like the 4500 series movements are pretty good as far as finicky 36,000 bph vintage movements go. The KS is a lot cheaper but so far I've had better luck finding GSs in good condition and not heavily polished, so I'm willing to pay for the GS if a good one comes up.

>>13280156
That's fair, I recommend checking on Yahoo Auctions Japan, the prices are usually lower than Ebay and condition tends to be better. Keep in mind that the pricing can end up being the same though after paying the forwarding fees.

>>13279807
The watch is beautiful and cheaper but i'm not a wristlet.

>>13280194
What the fuck?
Those raketas are 33 or 34 mm most likely
Poljot is 35mm
Don't get any of those if you "are not a wristlet"

How are the original Seiko bracelets? I see some really nice condition quartz but sometimes they come with aftermarket bracelet.

>>13280319
The one on the orange watch is a pretty flimsy folded link thing. I think it fits the watch well so I use it, but it's not very good. All three watches have hooded lugs so I don't think they would look very good without the original bracelets anyway.

The other two bracelets are a lot more intricate and high quality and they're super comfortable. All of those little links are solid. They have a kind of weird clasp design that probably isn't the most secure, but it's also very easy to adjust and you don't have to remove any links. Personally I like bracelets and I think these style of 70s Seikos look a lot better on the bracelets than on leather.

>>13280229
Yeah my bad, for some unearthly reason I read that the poljot was 18mm. The Raketas are 35 and 37mm. Even then though, I don't know about the colors of the watch. I have white pinkish skin and I feel like the watch would just blend in.

Cop or nop?
Why?

>>13280826
I would get it. The stupid name would make a great conversation starter to those you show it to.

>>13280804

Fixed

>>13279812
I definitely want to. Had the gen 1 BB with the massive thickness despite the ETA movement, sold it because it just was too big on my wrist. I want to try the bb58 on before I buy it though, if the lug length is still 50+mm then it'll sadly still be too big for my wrist

here's some insight from someone who's been in the watch game for a while now.

all these little cheap pieces of shit we buy for the sake of aesthetic (casios, seiko alpinists, timex, russian dogshit brands etc) are the biggest drain on your income. we all know we want a high end watch, why not save money for one? My biggest mistake when i started collecting was filling my watchbox up with obscure or unique pieces from no name brands. after a few years I had 20 watches that never got worn so I sold them all.

Bottom line is, just save your money for the real high end watch that you want. trust me on this one. all the compliments from literally whos on the street about your "nice" 24 dollar plastic casio aren't worth the pride of owning an actual Rolex. and don't even get me started on that grand seiko bullshit. nobody cares about the craftsmanship.

sooner or later everyone comes around. they think it's cool to wear the equivalent of a karmann ghia because the quirky girl at work noticed it, but when they realize that they could get a vintage BMW if they'd saved up just that much more they always come around..

so do your wallets a favor, get rid of the junk and just save up. thank me later

>>13280897
Or I could get a Grand Seiko

>>13280897
Agree to an extent. Get a couple of nice, versatile beaters and then save up for your dream watches. Get a small watch box that fits 5 or 6 watches and plan your entire collection to fit in that box. Limited slots means you will have to choose wisely and not spend frivolously on a ton of mediocre watches.

>>13280897
This, or just move on.


$200 watch box to hold 20 $500 watches

If you just bought your Grail in the first place don't even need the retarded wood and glass box to store it since you wear it everyday

>>13280942
i know you're trolling, but using your example to highlight my point the watch in your pic is $55,000.

55K for a Seiko.

Who in their right mind would pay that much for a Seiko? If somebody held a gun to your head and said "right, you can either pay up 55 grand for the seiko or 10 grand for this 2018 rolex in pic related what'll it be mate?" under what rational circumstance would you choose the seiko?

people respect branding and heritage, I work with an old retired Filipino navy vet who wears a 2008 Rolex GMT, the thing is already dinged to all hell because he wears it everyday but guess what, people see it's a rolex and dont care what condition it's in. he could have worn a brand new 55 thousand dollar grand seiko and nobody would have batted an eyelid.

>>13281011
The seiko rapes the gmt though

>>13281048
it also rapes your wallet. for that price you could get a patek that blows the seiko away AND commands presence

>>13281056
It rapes it though

>>13281064
honestly, nobody cares. they see seiko and think you got it at Macy's. if you want to spend 55k for that look go right ahead buddy

This boi arrived today.

Next watch I'm itching for is the Sinn 104 but not for quite some time as I have other places for that money to go.

Planning to pick up an SKX007 in Japan come fall.

Mad props. Have an SNZG11 with a Tread & Chronolinks and love it. It got knocked off a desk a few months back and had to get fixed by the local watch repair guy. Since then, it needs to be regulated (losing probably 30 seconds per day?)

How to create a unique/successful minimalist watchbrand https://imgur.com/a/6CNO8

What high-end watches are good if you like minimalist styles?

>>13282099
SIEG + HEIL, $199.99

The watches all say Timex on them to be ironic


We take Bitcoin or whatever you kids use these days

Giles&Bates. Super nice minimalistic affordable luxury with superior craftsmanship and the best swiss Ronda 505 movements.

>>13279253

very happy with my GS GMT too

to those who buy grand seikos...why? why are you spending rolex money on a brand that has nowhere near the clout that a swiss watch maker does? is it really just trying to look cool, and say "yeah i could've gotten a rolex but this is the same quality just not enough people know it"?

>>13282099

>>13279287
What's this? I dig it

how is this even possible, its impossible that even the materials cost less than that

My daily wearer at the moment.

All original Omega Geneve Manual wind. Something dressier.

Engagement gift from when I first got into watches. 200m water resistant, 80 hour power reserve, simple dial.

The watch I am wearing on my wedding next weekend. Changed it to a mesh bracelet. A really beautiful piece.

Gift for my fiancee'.

>>13282663
You do know that the day dial is bilingual right? Or are you just a weeb?

>>13282700
Just a weeb

>>13282700
Why use the English day when you can use the weeb day? The date window is useful but the day window isn't, it's not like I ever actually forget what day of the week it is.

>>13282838
I wonder what piece of shit he has on his wrist...

>>13282238

I handled a lot of rolexes in person and only a few GS before making my purchase. I could write a longer explanation but here are my key points:

1) I realized that where I live, there are like 10 rolexes spotted a day. I find the dials and bezels to be beautiful but the case work is uninspired. Call it "classic" I suppose. Check out the 44gs casework on the GS SBGJ001 in person, I was mesmerized. At the end of the day, I am wearing and looking at my watches for me, not for brand recognition (and I do like some of Rolexs work). You have to try many models on wrist to really know which you are attracted to, and GS grabbed my attention 10x more tan Rolex which can be found at every mall. In that sense, I would again and again spend 6k on something I was very much interested in rather than someting I know would hold its value more/ more recognized/ etc etc.

2) I am much more interested in GS as a company. I like their design language, work in mechanical and spring drive movements, and accuracy of their fine quartz. Case work is in my mind better than rolex (albeit not the BEST in the business, I can't say that since I have not seen all offerings from every company). Still, nothing not to admire.

3) Clout means nothing to me. In fact I get so much attention from WIS and Rolex owners on my GS that I'm having fun. And non-WIS won't grab me unwanted attention. In fact, I have had a few sub wearers ask me about my watch because it was so beautiful. I think a few were turned off by the Seiko brand, but hey, I aint one of them and that's ok.

At the end of the day, I am inspired and attracted to GS over Rolex, simple as that. And I wanted a sub for years. Don't get me wrong, Rolex has amazing watches. I am now just much more of a Japanese watch enthusiast than I ever was for Swiss.

>>13282920
Thanks my guy

>>13282919

Sure. those are some very valid arguments, far be it from me to tell someone how to spend their money, just genuinely curious. I bought a lot of watches that were at the very bottom of high end (Sinn, NOMOS, Tudor) and personally the nagging thought of "for a few thousand more I could have gotten a Rolex" always nagged at me. Finally got one and that was that. A lot of people prefer the above brands to rolex but i just knew i was playing a means to an end. so like you said at the end of the day you're just buying watches for yourself and not anyone else.

>>13282919
When nobody knew what a Rolex was, you glbought them because you liked them. After awhile poorfags found out about it. And equate it with wealth.


And now poorfags wonder why you buy any other watch because in their mind, you must prove to others in your class that you "made it" out of said class to higher income level.


They appreciate only for the name on the face not the quality or functionality of the product

Which is so far removed from what a Rolex initially was...a way for people into active lifestyles to keep time

I am on the lookout for a watch below $5K or so. I don't know anything about watches and am completely new to /fa/, so sorry if this question is dumb. Would I look like a dumb ass if I bought pic-related for $2.5K? I saw some threads on other forums saying that Gucci watches are overpriced and suggesting other brands like Hamilton instead. However, those watches all look super generic, while the Gucci one I posted looks like no other watch I have seen. And it will also look more impressive since everyone has heard of Gucci.

Tell me why I'm wrong please!

>>13288184
Fuck you man, I'm trying to understand why I shouldn't buy the Gucci watch. I don't want to just blindly drop thousands of dollars on a watch because people on the internet say it is better than the one that I like. But I really don't get what makes a watch more desirable than another one beyond being able to tell time, being aesthetically pleasing, and being impressive to other people. I am sure there is a good explanation, but I have yet to hear one.

For example, I am a car guy. People who don't know anything about cars say that a Lamborghini is just a flashy looking item that douchebags use to show off their wealth. However, as a car enthusiast I know there is much more to it than that. By buying a Lamborghini instead of a used up Toyota, you get a car that accelerates faster, handles better, sounds nicer, and is much more enjoyable to drive in general. And you can also take take it to the racetrack to really drive it hard, so it opens up doors to entirely new hobbies.

Can you offer a comparable explanation as to why I should buy a watch from a dedicated watchmaking company, or are you just going to spout memes at me?

>>13287849

>>13288136
i know what gucci is going for this season but it looks to be on the bad side of head-shop style dragon or wizard statuettes. gucci pulled off camp in some of their recent offerings but this falls on the cringe end imo. if they didnt go all out on the case and band, if they dropped the logo on the second hand, and included some numbers to tell the time, i might be able to support it.

as it stands its a "i am new money with bad taste" piece, which is gucci's market at present.

>i am completely new to /fa/
>look more impressive since everyone has heard of gucci

if you are in this just to impress people and curry their favor, save us both time and excuse yourself from /fa/. the regulars on this board, including me, tend to be socially maladjusted shut-ins who buy things to impress other nerds on the internet, clothes we can use wallow in our own piles of hikkikomori refuse, and clothes made by other autistic shut ins with mommy issues like raf simons

Thanks for pointing that out, that is pretty much what I am trying to avoid. I just got a high paying job so I am trying to step my fashion game but definitely don't want to look like that.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by this. You say that I shouldn't be here if I am buying things to impress others, but that the regulars here buy things to impress others? It seems like impressing other nerds on the internet is shallower and more of a waste of time than trying to impress co-workers and other people in real life. But I guess that is what 4chan has always been about on pretty much all of its boards.

Buy it if you want, but know that you'll get zero respect from watch people. The watch brands that get respect around here usually earned it through achievements in history, engineering, or design. Gucci is not primarily a watch brand and has zero notable achievements in the field. As such the watch will depreciate greatly the second you buy it and people will laugh at you for your mistake.

>>13282238
I honestly appreciate the value of feeling smug by thinking ""yeah i could've gotten a rolex but this is the same quality just not enough people know it", precisely because Rolex is just so typical. BUUUT, there's a ton of other brands that work to the same effect and have at least a bit more clout and style. Omega is cheaper, has some really beautiful watches, and is a bit less known than Rolex, kind of works. Jaeger Le Coultre is a bit more expensive than Rolex, but its got more clout, being Swiss and all, and its models are really beautiful (guaranteed looks). Same with brands like Zenith. The problem with Grand Seikos is, IMO, that they are too simple for their price tag.

actually, I correct myself. Don't know where I got the idea JLC was more expensive than Rolex. It isn't, yet another point in its favor.

>>13290747
A basic Reverso or MUT Moon or something like that is roughly in the Rolex price range, but JLC also does crazy complications that go way beyond anything Rolex does. Any super expensive Rolex outside of Cellini is just going to be the same basic model but covered in precious metals or gemstones rather than being any more interesting from a technical standpoint.

Also Grand Seiko is not simple at all, their watches have insanely intricate finishing up close which is kind of their whole appeal. As a rule, GS watches pretty much do not have any simple rounded edges anywhere on the dial or hands and they look spectacular very close up.

pls roast my smartwatch

>>13290817
The only smart watch that passes is the apple watch, everything else makes you look like a dorky tryhard

>>13290828
but i feel like mine is less noticeable as a smartwatch at all, until you look close

>>13290832
Nobody notices the details of a watch period if they don't look close

>>13290817
Why would you need a bazel on a smart watch?Are those actually water resistant?

>>13290744
rolex retains its value like no other brand. An 10k brand new omega will drop in value like crazy. Meanwhile a brand new rolex, assuming it's stainless steel, has a good chance to increase in value.

Even in the used market, the older a used omega gets the less its worth. Meanwhile a used rolex barely drops in value, with only notable drops when new technology emerges, like sapphire glass.

>>13290858
Not him, but I use my bezel just to time myself in general, usually when running and such. That said, a bit silly on a smart watch, most likely just for the aesthetic.

>>13290877
>>13290858
What exactly do you even do with your bezel?

>>13290875
Hmm, I don't know about that. Omega's usually run a few thousand regardless on Ebay, especially the newer Seamasters and Speedmasters. You can find Rolex Subs for a several thousand as well on Ebay. But I agree, Rolex holds its value more than any brand other than the Holy Trinity I suppose.

>>13290882
I already said man, for running usually. When I run my 2 mile, I always set the bezel 15 minutes ahead, to ensure I meet my time. Of course usually I wear my G Shock when I'm working out, but not always.

>>13290893
So essentially you just turn it 15 minutes to one side and then act like your clock is fast?

>>13290882
it's a pebble time round, pic related. i added the seiko bezel myself, covers the otherwise blank bezel and also adds a lip that protects the glass. it's purely aesthetic basically

>>13290766
While I am aware of the technical complications of Grand Seiko watches, they all seem very plain to me. What is this finishing you are talking about? Even if that is exceptional, I think they are very unimaginative for the most part. They are also not close to being as iconic as JLCs, Rolexes, and Omegas

>>13290433
Thanks man, that analogy is very helpful. I am satisfied with that answer, and will buy a watch from a real watchmaker.

>>13292239
The plate is decorated and you can still see the very nice balance, I don't see the problem. 3/4 plate is a good sturdy design and it's a defining feature of Lange and German watchmaking in general, it's obviously designed to be a good movement first and look cool second.

>>13295638
I actually really like your taste. However, I suggest a Seiko SKX instead of 2nd Seiko 5, just for more variety. Also consider Citizen's divers and other options. I also recommend looking at Tissot, I think you'd like them.

I like brand variety though, otherwise I'd just have Timex, Casio, and Seiko at this point. Probably Orient too.

>>13295638
not bad. id drop the upper right--boring design, middle bottom--similar enough to junghans imo, and bottom left--id stick to silver for dress occasions but thats just a personal choice. use the money you save to buy something a little more special

Honestly, there's no difference between beaters and grails. Nobody gives a fuck what watch you wear, and they all serve two purposes: to tell time and look good. In the year of our lord 2018, mass production has made it so you can make a good looking, functional watch for well under a hundred dollars.

If you think you should "save up" for a watch, you're spending way too much. There's really no difference in appearance and functionality between a $50 watch and a $500 watch. If you like the name brand on a particular watch enough to pay hundreds for it, go for it. But keep it mind that it's not an investment, just a frivolous splurge.

>>13295826

Poorfag: the post.

>>13295826

People who actually like watches tend to be two things:

- At least moderately financially successful
- Appreciative of the watches regardless of people's opinions on them

These two qualities make your post basically irrelevant to all of them.

>>13279253
grandpa said he'd give me his watch
cant even find it
:(

>>13295870
I daily wear a $4,000 watch and he's mostly right. Firstly, if you buy a watch it should be for yourself because nobody else gives a shit. Secondly, diminishing returns set in steeply and almost immediately and from a purely functional standpoint expensive watches hardly ever tell time any better than cheap watches.

Although there's much more I like about my watch than the brand name, for one thing. But I certainly didn't fool myself into pretending it's a fucking investment because it's not, it's a luxury purchase. Even if I decide to sell it on later and recoup my cost it's still not an """investment""" and I hate how often that justification gets used.

Okay guys what is the general concensus regarding mumbai specials? Been looking at picking up a vintage Orient or Seiko, and there’s loads of em on ebay for cheap, usually from India.

So far i’ve heard that they just take chinkshit auto movements and redial them, so they arent authentic. This makes reddit hate them, but i’m personally allures to owning a frankenwatch no one else will have, especially because even reddit admits they keep okay time.

This is the definitive list of best looking and most /fa/ watches available.

I wear a white shirt, sometimes one with black buttons, 1461's and plain black dress trousers to work.
The dining room I work in is blue, so should I get a blue faced Seiko 5 or one with a black dial colour so it matches the rest of my outfit?

>>13297038
Change the Datejust with the rhodium OP.

Everything on your list has a date window. Those suck

Check out my shitters.

I have a watch my dad gave me. It doesn’t tell time. I never changed the battery after it died. I stopped it on 11:11. *blushes* I guess it’s just one of those quirky things about me. (God I hope this works on a girl at school if it ever comes up.)

I cleaned up my Constellation, it had some weird grime or tarnish on it. It's nice and shiny now.

What do you lads think of the Omega DeVille?

...i just noticed...theres a tiny dick on the dial.

DO IT

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 34mm Olive Dial
Most of the Oyster Perpetuals (no date) are the same length tip of the lug to other tip. The bracelet on the 34mm goes down to 19mm from the 36mm's 20mm width. Overall though the bracelet to watch ratio is really balanced whereas with 39mm watches the bracelet looks too thin, imho. Also, unlike most other people I find the extra complications, like the date, are visual clutter.

I've looked at tool watches and vintage pieces. My current watch is a Casio F-94W. I'm on the water regularly but don't actually need a diver so until then anything more is overkill.

Anybody got a recommendation for 34 to 36mm minimalist watches? To me that is really where it is at.

>>13298796
I think 36mm is ideal and I wanted something a little sportier as an everyday watch so I picked a 114270 Explorer. I love it, I would highly recommend it. The OP is a great watch too and I guess if you want something a little dressier or want to buy new then it's a better choice. I agree that the 39 is too big and has chunkier proportions, but the 34 is pretty femenine.

I love my vintage watches but I would probably pick something new or almost-new if it's going to be your daily watch. It's much more convenient to have something with a sapphire crystal and reliable water resistance. Vintage watches just need more attention and care that you don't always want to deal with.

>>13298796

literally 1.3/10 bait

>>13298810
That is pure class. The simple baton hands are my preference though. Your Explorer and an Air King are probably better watches than a smaller Oyster. Probably a better investment too. Your watch is right in the same area of what I consider to be the perfect watch.

Thanks for the support on new or almost-new vs vintage. That's really what I'm thinking especially at the low end of the price scale . Maybe I'll look at a 36mm Oyster in Blue with the 3,6 & 9 but I really like that olive dial. I haven't seen the grey one or the white grape in person so that could be an option as well.

>>13298817
>MVMT, Daniel Wellington, and "The Fifth"
I don't really want to step down from my $8 Casio. ;)

I’ve had this watch for years

Should I keep it or upgrade?

>>13298860
Keep it regardless, you won't get much for it.

>>13298868

I meant keeping it in the sense of still wearing it. I know it wouldn’t really be worth anything

>>13298875
In that case maybe it's time for you to get a diver or something? Seiko SKX007J or an Orient Ray II ?

I can't second this enough. It's a workhouse diver, which every collection should have. Very versatile too: I bought it on the rubber but also have a brown leather nato, black leather nato, bond nato, mesh bracelet and I just ordered an oyster for it. If I had to cut down to one watch for a while, my 007 would be it.

ps go 007 over 009. The pepsi is fun and it pops, but you'll get more out of the classic black and silver.

Controversial opinion: Chinese watchmaking would have been better that Swiss by now if Genghis Khan had allocated more resources on time related objects.

American watchmaking was really good at producing bang for the buck mechanicals when compared to swiss.
However swiss would have stayed in the top, while maybe soviets/ruskies would be second with their pricing and quality.

Wristlet here, the only watch I can wear without it looking way too big for me is the F91-W.

>>13302281
Yeah, I think that would work the best for you unless you want a different design. Maybe w800 or AE1200 in steel would work too but they're slightly bigger

>>13302286

>>13302286
I really like the design but my plastic toy doesn't fit when I try wearing more formal clothes.

Take a look at the mechanical movements of American company watches from the 40s to 70s and your notice that they are all Swiss movements. Swiss movements in US assembled cases.
