My old watch just died, ao I need a new field watch. Any suggestions?

Looking for a piece that tells time, and perhaps what day of the month it is.
Needs to be near water proof and durable.

Pic related, its the look that I’m going for, but iut of my current budget.

>>13455777
timex is better for this look

also cheaper

>>13455777
Is it gonna be automatic or quartz?
Would you want to wear a diver? There are small divers too btw. Seiko, the SKX013.

>inb4 go back to /g/

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GIVE ME AN ALTERNATIVE OR A QUARTZ SHITTER OF THIS.

>BROWN STRAP
>WHITE/CREAM DIAL
>BARS
>SWORD HANDS
>SECONDS DIAL

BASICALLY LOOK LIKE THIS BUT UNDER 100 US DOLLARS.

I’m so close to buying a fake Patek from some gooks, please don’t make me.

>>13455850
Second indices, but no second hand? That triggers my autism.

>>13455852
But there is a second hand... its just small...

>>13455803
Quartz, And I dont mind a diver, though I am partial to straps.

>>13455862
Yes but I'm talking about the main dial. There is no use of those second indices there because that dial does not have a second hand. It just pissed me off just by looking at it, triggered me severely. Fuck that watch, I hate it so damn much.

>>13455866
I was saving this for a special occasion, but I want you to have it.

Look, it even has a traditional second hand.

>>13455864
How about one of these? They are quartz, and they are legit dive watches. 150 dollars or so, I think.

>>13455869

>>13455870
Oh and whatever strap you think looks nice, well you can just put on whatever you want on it.

>>13455834
You'll get no love in /g/ with that anon.

>>13455752
That citizen looks surprisingly fine, I like the honeycomb dial.
If this had stick markers instead of those poorly done romans and silver hands, it would be perfect.

>>13456055

Any watches like this aesthetically that aren't stupidly expensive

>>13456319
Timex

>>13456302
Nice rep.

1955 Pobeda in the middle of some minor restoration. Needs a careful clean around the hands but the dial is nearly as good as it'll get. The black spots are where the lacquer has been holed so no luck removing those. Through some miracle I've managed to get my hands on an original waterproof Chistopol crown and the right crystal but they're with customs right now.

A watch similar (the same hermetic case and movement but without outlined hour indices) to this one was smuggled onto Sputnik-4 mission 1961, 'worn' by Chernushka the dog. Both dog and watch returned safely.

>>13456055
I have the middle one, except it has dark brown "genuine" leather strap, with white stitching. Not bad for a casual watch, although I prefer a stainless bracelet with folding clasp style. Now, I'm looking for something for formal occasions.

>>13456211

>>13456333
Lol if it were a rep I don’t think watchmakers at jewelry stores would want anything to do with it. It was my dads, I was there when he bought it, it’s very much real

>>13456372
Nice real.

>>13456055
green dials are fa af

>>13456314
nice, the stainless steel one actually looks pretty nice

i just ordered the basic acrylic one cause i think its cool, but this one looks pretty good too

>>13456511
The acrylic one is THE classic but I chose this one because I already have a synthetic Casio (the g shock I posted) and because shiny metal just adds to the sleaziness, only gold would be dirtier lol

>>13456511
>>13456521
It's not steel.

t. Digital watch enthusiast

>>13456561
The Casio I have is stainless steel

>>13456055
I'd say left or right (left is the most interesting of the three, right is a classic choice), not that any of these are bad . Black dial is just a bit boring for my taste though, and the chronometer is a bit more cluttered. Again just a matter of taste, all three are good.

>>13456579
unless it was an early model it'll be stainless steel back and stainless steel strap at most

>>13456579
>>13456610
The bracelet is stainless steel and the case is chrome plated resin.
If you look at the case back it will read stainless steel back, also that's not what steel looks like.

>>13456616
They hold themselves reasonably well though, mine is over 2 years old now.

>>13456610
>>13456616
Fair enough, I suppose that’s the case

Reminder that you're spending thousands of dollars on a twenty-dollar watch because it has a fancy name.

>>13456708
Do you actually think that the only difference is the name of the brand?
>inb4 falling for bait

>>13456708
The one in my picture was closer to $20,000 actually

>>13456708
30m wr? You can get 200m for another 30 dollars and get a watch that won't break after a week.

The two I usually rotate.

Any opinions on citizen?

>>13456839
Citizen is very good but I mostly like their older 80s style watches like Casio

>>13456232
My man, that's the one I'm using. I'm thinking in buying this.

not familar with the brand but I like the look

>>13457509
>>13457972

thanks guys, I really love it

>>13456708

Please tell me this is bait. Just because they look similar does not make them the same quality/performance. That's like saying buying a black honda accord is the same as a black BMW simply because they both look like black sedans and are pretty much the same shape. Of course if you surely cannot understand/ see the differences between the two watches you posted, I invite you to purchase the cheaper one.

>>13458725
Is that a prop from SAW 2?

>>13455803
Just bought my first seiko SKX009. Anyone here have experience modding watches?

Found these pieces of shit at a thrift store, how hard would it be to replace the batteries and get them up and running? Ten bucks for both, almost did it just for fun. Also which one is better

>>13459190
super easy. these take a tiny philips screwdriver and a new cell bat to get going again. some precision screwdrivers or sometimes theyre called opticians screwdrivers do the job. then all you have to do is order the cells of the same number as the drained one in the watch has. or check your nearest electronic s store nearby, good chances finding these there. kinda pricy for the size but casios run up to 10 years without changing batteries

I just got an mq-24, did I get memed into buying a woman’s watch

>>13458048
Its a rip off rolex, of course you’re going to get shit for it. Did you pick that shit up from the swap meet?>>13458734

But the Casio aq320 looks better than that other thing.

How good is that orient bambino ?

>>13460453
It's fantastic. Very accurate and it looks gorgeous. It's also a good size and has a power reserve that lasts for about... Two days?

I'd wear it more, but the seiko takes up most of the time on my wrist.

In retrospect however, I wish I'd spent a bit more and gone for a sarb033 before the prices got jacked up.

>>13460480
Great, thanks

>>13456302

>>13456211
What an ugly as piece of shit

>>13456708
if you don't want to spend $10,000 on a watch buy a Seiko SKX or Orient Ray instead of unoriginal homage shit. If you balk at spending that much on a watch the Submariner aesthetic just isn't for you.

>>13458683
>conversion

>>13459868
>>13458048
He's right in that it genuinely lacks the prestige of a rolex. He's also a retard in that at the moment Tudors are a vastly better buy for anyone who doesn't care about what the plebs think or about having a crown on the dial and a special snowflake movement

Getting this for a beginner watch, what do you guys think?

Also looking into Seikos and Casios

Clean and simple.

Thoughts on applel Watch?

>>13461056
Why bother.

Cop or not?

>>13460523
Then buy a left handed watch with the stem on the other side.

>>13461163
do you have 25K for that? Seems like a waste

>>13461423
>left handed watch
not a thing

>>13459319
Please respond

What's the point of life without having a zeitwerk? I don't think I'll ever justify that amount of money for jewelry in my life time.

>>13461703
good for you, it's an ugly watch

>>13460770
Everyone assumes that I'm wearing the plastic casio watch but that's fine. I really don't want to fit in with the boatshoe-wearing watch enthusiasts in my area. They just don't interest me. I just like the way it looks. I do need to replace the glass and fix the Piezo light though, those tend to break on these old models.

>>13461728
WHat do they wear

>>13461714
if you have shit tier taste, then yes it is very ugly

>>13461739
Usually nothing. Watches aren't popular here in SoCal. But usually it's someone with a tudor, or rolex or something preppy. They always seem to want to have something with a 40mm dial or larger.

is there any cheap starter watches out there for beginner like me

>>13461800
SNXS79

>>13461426
I don't know it looks unique

>>13461728
Those old ones still use a light bulb, you can replace it with a 1,5v sdm led, get a white / warm white one so it suits it.

>>13461741
No, it's $40k+ of garbage looking shit for wealthy blind people.

>>13461660

How are Breda watches? Just another minimal looking brand?

>>13458896
They gotta branch out somewhere. The 35mm film camera biz is fading. If the quality and precision is the same as the cameras, it should be top of the line goods.

>>13463085
They actually make quite some lenses for others and some own brand tech equipment.

>>13461660
You seriously can't be this dumb?

>>13463336
i have never seen or heard of a watch with the crown on the left before >>13462468

thoughts on this one? Bought it for $400 new

>>13463768
Never been a fan of all black metal watches with a black face, if just that were white it’d be fine

Opinions on this? It looks so good online... but it costs like 450-500 euros and my wallet will be empty after buying it. Help me out bros

>>13464016
iirc the SARB017 Alpinist was discontinued in March, so prices will skyrocket soon when stock dwindles (on the bright side, Seiko will probably make a new Alpinist eventually at some point)

beautiful watch, and i'd definitely cop if i wasn't also a poorfag

>>13464033
Thank you anon. I am gonna order it tomorrow. :)

>>13464016
I like it.

>>13464583
I hate the Alpenis.

Drunk buy it last night.
Couldn’t wait anymore.
What do you guys think about my beautiful mistake?

>>13464016
The alpinist is gorgeous and hopefully will be worth something after the stocks dissolve. That being said, I think I'd struggle to match this watch to my wardrobe, which is a shame because the colour is beautiful.

Definitely pick it up anon.

>>13464757
Very good choice. I prefer the khaki scout, but there is no denying how amazing that watch is!

>>13465735
>more interesting band.
what do you suggest?

>>13465783
that feels unnatural to me desu. plus, i write frequently so a watch would get in my way

This thread has got me wanting a fucking watch with a green face god damn they all look good

Any recs under like 150?

>>13465884
Generally speaking my instinct is a green leather band, British racing green if you want more subdued, or a polished cool blue-green. You could do stitched leather or alligator.

>>13465875
If they didn’t add the gold to the band it would look so much better

>>13465927
>>13465884
>>13465925
This sort of look in particular is what I had in mind. My dad wears wild shit like this all the time and it looks great. He gets knock offs in Hong Kong, apparently you can get some very high quality knock offs there, there's many different tiers of quality. This one is an IWC.

>>13465925
that Timex chronograph poster earlier is like $60 USD, so is a Seiko SNK805, and at $140 USD the v4 Orient Bambino has a green dial colorway (but in a gold case, bleh)

>>13465925
Fuck I hate green watches with a passion.
Maybe because my uncles liked green so much but it screams so 70sto me.

does anyone know of a watch with a very similar style (flat metal tach, smaller, etched numbers?)

Prices have inflated too much after they announced they were discontinuing it. DNC it’s not worth the money

>>13467466
it's always been around $400-600 afaik, and it's still at that range

>>13455752
is it bad to leave your automatic unwound for long periods of time, like a few months? also, about how long will a Timex watch battery last?

>>13467471
They used to be $350 on Amazon. Now you’ll pay closer to $500 from most places, with eBay sellers perpetually raising the prices. Hard pass

>>13467479
No.

I'm interested to see if I could wear it casual too, got a few ideas with black straps

I'm not really confident, but it should be something of the 6900 series.

Most sport chronographs have what you're after. There's about a million Speedmaster variants available at various price range, or for an homage of that Daytona look up Gevril Tribeca. Pricey now though if you can even find one.

Older Casio model from the late 70s I think.

>>13466535

So here is the module info or what not on the back of the watch: A201G 103. Guessing the G after the 201 is for the gold casing since the silver version doesn't have that..

Either way yeah it's a bit flashy but to compare the sub my Dad owns is solid gold. He never wears that except to ultra formal events. Where as this is my daily when I'm not at work.

Speaking of, I'm a military member who oddly enough is on the exit after 5 years in August. Some people might ask how I paid for it all, but in short I'll say that if your only source of income is your wage/salary job then you're doing yourself a large disservice.

The service for the watch is 600 dollars for perspective, and a few years ago I broke the watches bezel spring skiing, this allowed the bezel to rotate in both directions. The dumb spring in there brought that service up to 1250!

Any more questions? I'll be glad to answer anything!

I love those old gold hooded lugs, nothing better than a cushion case.

Seeing this reminds me how horrible Subs were built until the six digit.

I own the Atlantic Date, the water resistance is what made me choose it over the Autobahn

If you could have one of those expensive, low production watches (think Phillipe Dufor, Hajime Asaoka, Roger Smith, etc.) What would you get?

What's the cheapest "expensive looking" watch that isn't a fake?

>>13467523
not familiar with timex but that is shit runtime unless it's atomic radio or you use the light constantly - casio and seiko last well over 5 years on one battery.

>>13468366
Reminds me of a Cylon Centurion from Battlestar Galactica for some reason.

>>13468437
Left but they are all shitters. Get jap instead.

>>13468437
Get the dirskie on right if lugs curved downwards. They look straight though.

My latest, bought it MSRP from AD. What do you guys think?

Ugly desu. Rolex can't into design for shit aside from OP, DD, DJ or Sub.

Sleep tight, barker.

Any high-end brand that isn't Rolex is a shitter.

Hi archie
>Any high-end brand that isn't Rolex is a shitter.
So Patek is a shitter brand, too. But PP is a famous brand , has high resale value and has made many famous, popular, good looking designs like the Calatrava, the pic related Nautilus, and such.
hmm

>>13471871
Is Patek Rolex or not?

No, so it's a shitter.

Is this a good brand? I'm trying to buy a decent black and gold watch for my boyfriend for our anniversary.

>>13472300

Sauce on this image?

not enough Tudor Black Bays itt, guys

Just picked up a rue du rhone 87WA120043 for 200 bucks new and it comes in today. Not a very high end or well known brand but I like the style and it has a decent ETA movement, sapphire glass and is swiss made.

>>13459117
I'm thinking about doing an NH36 movement swap myself or paying someone 50$ to do it for me. Hand swaps are pretty easy and for 20$ you can the tools you need to do anything. What mods are you thinking of doing?

>>13472463
is there any way to do a FF mod with a screwdown crown? Ideally at 3. I think an skx13 fff would look really good but I don't think there's a bezel insert in that size

>>13470646
I recommend not buying the Autobahn. The Ahoi is a good choice if you want the water resist, Tangente if you don’t need it.

Wow. Just wow. The FAGGOTS deleted my watch thread on /g/ and gave me a 24 hour ban that board.

The FAGGOTS sure weren't this quick when tudorcuck was shitting the thread up for weeks. FUCK! THEM!

How many years did /wt/ exist on /g/? I've been there at least for three years. You'd think among all the consumerism generals and /v/-tier meme threads /wt/ didn't really stand out.

>>13472519
Go make a thread on /qa/ then

>>13472534
>/qa/

>mods nuked another /g/ /wt/

Damn, what a shame.

This is a really interesting article that I haven't even had the chance to finish yet, but which is already fascinating to those interested in the technical aspects of mechanical movements:

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/original-iwc-doppelchronograph-caliber-79230

It covers the development of the first cam actuated split second chronograph movement and how it differs from traditional column wheel split second approaches.

Are Junkers watches any good? I like the fact that it's the same company that made airplanes in WW2. I only have a seiko skx and a shitty casio which are both more utilitarian. I'm thinking about getting pic related as a 'dressy' watch.

>>13455752

Early, but made a new one, /g/ beadpocalypse refugees welcome.

>>13472500
>recommend not buying the Autobahn
What's wrong with it?

So to bring some educational content to this thread, if anyone is interested in understanding the differences between a vertical clutch chronograph and a horizontally coupled chronograph, and why vertical coupling is technically superior, this is a great article on the subject:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/chronographs-vertical-and-horizontal-coupling.5539/

I kinda like this watch but it is a cheap ass chinese fucked watch. Should i cop?

>>13472586
If you want a dressier watch in bauhaus style i'd recommend scouring local flea markets and Craigslist /ebay/crono24 for a Certina/Omega/Eterna of that period. They're usually fairly cheap and good quality stuff. Especially Eterna has beautiful movements with great accuracy.

the hell is going on with all the /wt/'s?
