First for watches are a hobby.

>>13508848
so this is what the physical emodiment of autism looks like

>>13508854
> stop having watches as a hobby

>>13508848
Second for Vostoks being fun.

>>13508889
Also, for the record, it's quite frustrating that none of the online listings for solid link oyster bracelets list the width of their center links, meaning thar finding an aftermarket bracelet option for this thing is going to be a pain.

>>13508889
I didn't realise the lugs were so tiny though and I still haven't found a rubber strap that fits mine

>>13508848
For a moment I thought you were autoclaving your watches, but what you're doing somehow makes less sense.

Kinda curious, have any chinese or korean companies done anything interesting? KDM cars are now almost worth mentioning, and that Chinese middle class has money to burn, so I'd say it's only a matter of time.

>>13508900
there's that one Korean autist who makes good watches for the price - Tisell. I think most are homages though but that comes with the price range

What's the dealio on Alpina? Is it in that awkward 'might as well save for something better' range? Don't really see it posted here much. Pic related is around $750 on Amazon which seems like a solid deal.

>>13508900
Most microbrands are basically Chinese.

>>13508909
The only post maxicase Rolex I like aesthetically.

>>13508898
I'm keeping them at constant temperature for ISO3159 timing testing

>>13508905
Those look like Rolex rips, but maybe all divers look the same to me. And they're using citizen movements. I meant more like developing a legitimate watch industry like Japan did.
>>13508911
>microbrands
I have bought so much stuff on aliexpress, but never a watch

>>13508915
Do you charge for that, or do you just do it for fun? I'd be curious how accurate my oddball poljot is.

>>13508924
All of those are mine. I'd be open to including other anon's watches when I do a test, if you want to ship it to me. But if you just want an idea of the accuracy you should just slap it on a timegrapher; this was specifically to replicate the exact conditions COSC uses to test watches.

>>13508927
So you just track the change in accuracy over time? Is it a diagnostic thing?
I'd consider it, where are you? I live in LA.

>>13508934
I'm in NYC. email me at nycddancer at gmail if you want to send your watch to a total stranger on the internet until they get around to doing a testing run and then hope they send it back to you.

There are three main ways to measure accuracy

> On the wrist
Watches are being worn on the wrist when they are doing their job. When wearing your watch, you simply note how the time it's showing compares to atomic time (say, from http://time.is), and then a few days later, how far it's drifted. This gives the best idea of how the watch actually performs in daily use. However, it is not necessarily repeatable - if your wear pattern (hours worn per day, activity while worn) varies, so will the rate. It also takes a long time to get an accurate idea of the accuracy. There are also apps to help with this - I use WatchCheck for Android. This method also is generally not good at measuring isochronism of automatic watches, since they will generally stay wound all day.

Just copped this.
Thoughts?

>>13508947
I'll be in NY in a few weeks, maybe I could drop it with you and a prepaid shipping label. What's your most accurate?

>>13508953
>analog face
>also digital face
Never understood why they do this. Same thing on G-Shocks, just seems like more things to break.

>>13508947
> In static positions
Measuring watch rates in static positions is how watches have compared and certified for decades. This is an objective measure of a watch's accuracy - it doesn't depend on the activity of the wearer. It can also reveal flaws in a watch - perhaps there is a mechanical issue that causes it to run poorly when the crown is up, but fine in other positions, for example. Generally this also requires a watch to maintain consistent rates in various positions (and temperatures) from full wind to 24 hours. This takes a long time to test, since you must let enough time elapse (generally at least 24 hours) in each position you want to test. COSC tests for ISO3159 "Chronometer" standards using this method. This is what I'm doing with my lab incubator.

>>13508953
I don't have dark enough skin for a gold watch.

>>13508968
> On a timegrapher
A timegrapher is a machine that listens to the ticking noise of a watch and measures its rate (among other things). Timegraphers are extremely convenient since they can measure the rate of a watch in just a few seconds. Unlike the first method, measuring using a timegrapher measures an instantaneous rate, not a rate over a period. This means they can be used to separately assess the watch's rate and full wind as well as its rate after 24 hours, which can be a useful thing to know. However, in order to assess how a watch would perform over a period, a timegrapher measurement would have to be taken over a longer period anyways. Timegraphers are extremely useful for making measurements of a watch quickly and a useful diagnostic tool in general.

>>13508955
Works for me, if you're really interested; I'll be around. I could also just throw it on a timegrapher for you to start, but if you still wanted me to, would keep it until I did my next round of full ISO3159 testing and include it. Email me if you're interested.

My best-performing traditional mechanical watch in this test >>13508915 is hard to say. The Aevig Huldra (a miyota 9xxx) performed very well aside from its average rate (which is just a question of regulation, not how well the watch is adjusted, so not a major concern to me). The Seiko 45KS also did very well, as did the two modern swiss watches (the baume & mercier classima and the bruno sohnle rondomat, though the b&m had the clear lead). I was also very impressed with the performance of the cosmotrons, which are electric watches that use a hairspring and balance. The cosmic also perfomed very well for a traditional mechanical watch from the 60s - 1960s Omega was no joke.

What ya guys think about this just copped

>>13509007
Trash

>>13509004
My gf is from thailand and I like to keep the digital display on thai time.

Would I regret buying an entry level Seiko automatic? (I've only ever worn cheap digital watches.)

>>13509140
No, they're good for the money

>>13509140
Unironically get the invicta pro dive with the Seiko NH35 or w/e movement. For the same price it gives you:
>a cheap watch you don't care about
>a homage watch so you aren't inclined to get another
>a watch with features that you will realise you want in every watch

They go on sale really cheap often

>>13509173
>Invicta
yikes

>>13509180
its what janny believes constitutes a good watch hence why we're here

>>13508889
Is there anywhere I can get a cheap pepsi bezel for a vostok? It seems like they all cost upwards of 40 dollars and come from Russia taking months to ship.
I just want a pepsi vostok :(

Can someone explain the difference between the Seiko 6R15C and 6R15D?

Is it just all broscience about it having a new balance assembly? Or is it just a different letter for no reason whatsoever?

I posted it yesterday but im looking for more feedback.
Today im buying the Max Bill automatic. Thoughts?

Also, is it too dressup to wear daily even if i mostly wear shirts? Maybe just get the handaufzug that is 34mm instead of 38mm so its a bit more casual?

>>13508961
The digital display usually also has a stopwatch, guess you could make it an analog chronograph instead but might be cheaper with digital, also I'm guessing it sometimes has a lap function like the f-91w, don't know if analog chronographs have that? And furthermore it has a perpetual calendar, or at least it automatically changes the days of the month all years except a leap year. So you have to change the date once every four years instead of once every second month. Perpetual calendar in an analog date complication is rare and I think expensive?

>>13508900

>>13508953

>>13508613
>Yes? It's how you get your minute hand to hit the minute indices when the second is at 60.
What do you mean?

>>13508640
>That watch is hella ugly
Fuck, I'm crying, you're right, will I recover if I buy another watch?

>>13509262
I think the calendar notes leap years too, till 2099.
>>13509273
Go fuck yourself virgin

>>13509251
If you at least have 6.5" wrist 38mm should be fine.

>>13509284
>I think the calendar notes leap years too, till 2099.
I was talking in general terms. More expensive g-shocks do that, f-91w doesn't, that painted plastic shitter in >>13508953 probably doesn't.

>>13509262
Oh, and I forgot, there's usually an alarm function too, never seen that on an analog watch.

>>13509284
>I think the calendar notes leap years too, till 2099.
>>13509300
I checked and that watch in >>13508953 does not account for leap years. You can easily check any watch if it does if you go in and set the date, if it doesn't ask for the year I'm guessing it doesn't account for leap years.

>>13509319
Okay, thanks for the info anon.

What's the cheapest good automatic mechanical that does hack and hand wind? Because I mean a watch that doesn't that's kind of retarded isn't it?

>>13509251

Aren't solar watches crap? I guess you have to remember to put them on the window sill every day?

>>13509352
they usually have a power reserve of weeks or months so no

>>13509355
Ok, but for how long do you have to charge them? I think in a youtube video it said it takes a long time and during that time it doesn't show time reliably.

Why wouldn't I buy a certina moonphase?

>>13509356
no idea desu never had one but i really can't imagine its that inconvenient if you wear it basically at all

>>13509360
What does the moonphase function do? Tell you if it's full moon?

>>13509367
Yes basically.

>>13509370
are you a vampire?

>>13509366
Most of the time the watch might be covered by your shirt.

>>13509372
That could be. Do you dare finding out? Meet me in the cemetary at full moon. But do you have moonphase on your watch? How else will you ever be able to know when to meet me there and see the proof?

>>13509375
true but I can't remember ever seeing a solar watch that wasn't a casual diver i'd wear with t shirts or rolled sleeves

>>13509377
I've seen many

>>13509379
Do you own one? I think my minute hand is angled upwards but I'm not sure if I have damaged it or if it just hangs out at an angle

>>13509370
Just look up at the sky you fuck.

>>13509444
Why wear a watch?
Just look at your shadow, retard.

Why do you own a cellphone, just send them letters by doves, YOU RETARD!!!!

>>13509436
No, I don't own one but was contemplating buying one as an upgrade from >>13508514, but it's 39 mm, I probably want at most 35 mm. And if you have issues with it I might not want to buy it also.

I'm asking again, anyone actually does that thing when you set the time, advance the minute hand a few minutes ahead and then turn it back to the exact time?

>>13509475
FOR THE LAST TIME, no.

Thanks, didn't know about that.

Would you be able to wear a sarb035 casually with say a tshirt or maybe shorts? or is it too dressy?

Im thinking of putting on a black/brown/grey leather or suede band

>>13509587
Of coursh.
For a dressy watch it’s kinda neutral.

>>13509379
Anyone know any watches similar to this but max 35 mm? I really like that super simple and super thin style, looks clean and classy.

>>13509553
Post more of that pulsar

>>13509598
Would you say the black face would be more versatile?

>>13509587
I wear my SARB033 with casual clothes all the time. It's not a dress watch, it's a dressy looking sport watch. That's why it's sometimes called the poor man's Datejust, they're both dressy sport watches.

>>13509611
Actually I'm wearing a 35 mm watch right now and on my skinny wrist it makes me wonder if I should get something even smaller, like 30 mm, maybe even a ladies' watch. What are your thoughts on wearing a ladies' watch as a man? I'm not talking super small like 20 mm or something, just a little smaller than regular men's watches, maybe 30 mm or something.

>>13509614
What characteristics make the sarb a sports watch

>>13509627
Basically the things that make it not a dress watch.
>non precious metal case
>metal bracelet
>date complication
>100m wr
>lumed hand & indices
It's not a sport watch the same way a diver is, but it's still technically a sport watch.
That's what makes it (and the Datejust) a great all-rounder, it's dressy enough for most formal events but casual enough for jeans & t-shirt.

Wat watch is this?

Should the hour and minute hand be equally wide?

>>13509634
I told you in the last thread, it looks like a modded SKX, it could also be some random microbrand.

>>13509648
I know for sure it isn't a modded Seiko, it's some microbrand but I don't know which. I read a review on it months ago but I don't have anything other than that pic.

>>13509654
Why is the divers xxxm blacked out? If it's not done with photoshop the watch is apparently modded.

>>13509685
Can you explain what it means? Anyway I don't really like that pulsar shitter. Honestly f-91w feels like higher quality. Might buy something for 100-200 usd. Any recommendations anybody?

>>13509737
How is that an alternative to a diver's watch?

>>13509761
Buy a seiko for 400, then it will feel like and be quality.

>>13509764
My car cost 670 usd, could probably have haggled it down to 450 usd but I was stupid and didn't do that. Having a watch worth almost as much as your car seems retarded.

>>13509767

>Not wanting to be pure class while diving

>>13509763
Is the seamaster even a diver?

I feel like maybe I shouldn't wear the pulsar shitter because I feel like they scammed me, putting up a picture that doesn't look like the real thing. If a restaurant is trying to scam me I don't go there again.

>>13508889
Make me like Vostoks please Anon. I know people say how good they are but I just can't get away with them and I really wish I liked them. I don't like the movements, I don't like the designs of the watches, I just don't understand the appeal and I want to change that.
>>13508909
>>13508914

>>13509824
>Most
In Omega's history I would bet they've sold a far larger number of non-diver Seamasters than diver Seamasters.

>>13509812
Is the SEAmaster a diver?
Is the watch with a dial for divers a diver?

>>13509336

>>13509828
>Make me like Vostoks please Anon.
They're cheap, fun, and easy to customize to get the exact look you want. Just don't expect much accuracy from the movements as they don't hack and are minimally adjusted low-beats, but for the price, what can you expect? Making mechanical movements accurate is expensive.

As for the aesthetics, there are an enormous variety of case, dial, and bezel designs out there. I don't know how someone could dislike literally all of them.

>>13509824
>>13509830
I mean vintage seamasters with no bezel.

>>13509830
Divers watches didn't even exist as a genre when the Seamaster line was developed.

>>13509767
>Having a watch worth almost as much as your car seems retarded

At any rate, that first pic does not even look like a Seamaster.

>>13509857
I mean I guess it's not so far off?

>>13509868
If you pick the Seamaster that looks the least like a Seamaster, sure.

>>13509898

>>13509737
What modern alternatives are there to pic related. Big round dome, diving capacity.

>>13510010
>diving capacity.
Irrelevant because because no sane person would dive with that.

>>13510017
A same person would go in the water with their watch; they just wouldn't rely on that watch to time a dive. If that is what >>13510010 is talking about (admittedly a charitable interpretation), the question is reasonable.

>>13508980
Oh cool. Ive been thinking of buying B&M.

>>13510033
I assume you made a typo and meant a sane person wouldn't go in the water with their watch.
I'd time my dive with my watch that's what it was made and certified for. If I wasn't terrified of sharks that is.

Anyone have experience with ETA 2804? Reliability, quality control, issues, compliments?

>>13510040
You probably shouldn't (mine was a gift), but they're pretty enough, if overpriced. Modern swiss movements are pretty decent timing wise, even at the low end like b&m. This classima is admittedly not stock ETA; it is modified by soprod to skeletonize it, but I doubt they do any meaningful adjustment.

>>13510046
how many watches do you have anon?

>>13510046
I like the look of this but I could never wear a open heart because /wt/ would bully me.

>>13510046
How big is that watch, and how big is your wrist?

>>13509828
Aesthetically pleasing

Is any of you familiar with the brand Mondia? And the brand Doxa?

What colour/pattern nato strap should I get for a cream/greenish-yellow full lume dial watch like this?

>>13510050
About 40-45, depending on exactly how you count it. This is an old collection collage.

>>13510067
42 diameter, I don't remember the lug to lug, my wrist is 6.5in.

>>13510044
Of course a sane person would go in the water with an appropriately water resistant watch. But that's not different from being comfortable timing a dive with such a watch.

>>13510056
This open heart is wt-approved since it specifically exhibits the escapement, rather than just the balance.

>>13510090
I'm assuming you mean this. It is a seiko 5s21-7a10 from around 1990. It is a quartz watch with an unusual movement. It had a motor that fires four times per second. The gear train also includes a hairspring and a vial of viscous liquid that dampens these pulses, so the second hand moves it a truly smooth sweep (like spring drive).

>>13510109
can't go wrong with a junghans, the bauhaus design is in and out of itself timeless. you won't regret it

>>13510107

>>13510106
seiko do the gateway drug thing a little too well. One minute you're spending $100 on a watch then you're wondering whether dropping a few grand on a grand seiko is a good idea.

>>13509251
It's definitely not too dressy. In fact, these watches are NOT dresswatches at all. They are casual everyday watches honestly. And yes they're beautiful.

Which watch are you talking about?

>>13509927
what watch is this?

>>13510125
used to be able to. Camera broke :/

>>13510126
Essentially the same design, different sizes.
I suspect pic related has a small wrist as the automatic is 38 and the other 34.
>>13510124
Maybe. I would say they dont stand out at all on a very formal occasion
>>13510121
>>13510117
Thanks. Thats what im looking for exactly. I dont know why your watch has me enchanted. Its whimsical

>>13510142
Hmm, that 34mm would be really great to have actually.

>>13510186
That's 34? Good God how small are his wrists?

>>13510195
Pretty sure it is, yeah. That wrist is small, but the watch looks bigger than it is because of the big dial, and the tiny and thin bezel.

>>13510195
>>13510186
Yeah, in his wrists the 34mm does it very well. My wrist is 7 inches or a bit less.

>>13510202
Maybe I should get one too. I will sleep on it, but meanwhile I will try to decide which of these I would order. What do you guys think is the best one. I kinda like the metal bracelet honestly.

>>13510212
Whops, I put the wrong one in the center

>>13510212
The center one with the metal bracelet would be pretty nice.

>>13510212
I'm going for the classic black. I will buy two straps or so to make it more casual.

For me the big question is pure minimalism with lines or great typography with numbers.
Both look great but I'm going to go with numbers. Max Bill was a renown typographer and that 4 curved design is just a classic.

>>13510010
Modded vostok

>>13510239
Why was this image not deleted in camera

>>13510239
For me it's definitely going to be with the numbers. It's a shame it doesn't come with the bracelet, but I could order a bracelet for it I think, then I'd have both.

Curved glass is nice, domed makes me feel a little antsy because of the scratch potential.

>>13510248
sorry it was a poorly done screenshot of a video.
More inspo I guess.
>>13510250
They don't sell them on the original shop, but I'm not sure if other combinations exist in retailers. I think they change up a bit like the black one you can't find much now.

When are Tudor going to make a diver with a ceramic bezel that's small enough to fit my baby wrists?

>>13510274
Your going to drop it, silly.

>>13510271
Hey, are you able to find out the lug widht on that 34mm watch - I can't see it anywhere myself? I actually have a metal bracelet just like it, but without a watch that it fits. Might be the same size.

>>13510277
I don't know. For sure the automatic is 20mm though.

>>13510287
I found it. 18mm
My bracelet is 18.7 which makes it too big. Booo!

>>13510289
Fuck. Since when is 18.7 a standard though?
Anyways, I don't think is any strap in particular. They are called milanese bracelet I think.
Just like the black leather one. You are buying the design piece, not the strap.

>>13510289
You can buy one here for 60€
https://www.junghans-shop.com/en/straps/357/mesh-band?c=252

Is 38mm case/46mm lug to lug going to look fuckhueg on a 6" wristlet like me?

>>13510300
My bracelet, which is 18.7 is from some vintage shitter from certina. I'm not using the certina of course, and it doesn't even work properly I think, but that bracelet is pretty much the same as the Junghans one. But too big sadly. Anyway, thanks to this guy >>13510305 I'm now saved. Thanks anon!

>>13510305
Is that the correct one at 18mm? It doesn't say. Would be bad to order the 20mm type.

>>13510306
Probably not, but it can't hurt to buy some cheap dogshit $10 fake DHGate/Ali Express watch in that sizing to be sure.

>>13510306
We're kinda discussing that right now. I think >>13510142
Is a wristlet. The big one theoretically is 38 and the small one a 34 (but im trying to add proportions and it doesn't match so idk)

>>13510313
Yes it does say so when you look from the shop but not in the descriptions. Kinda stupid for the ammount of money you are paying to not have a decent description

Shittering it up in here with a smartwatch. This is actually pretty nice to wear and the reflective display makes the watch face lively. Also comes in matt white for loonar fits.

>>13510306
46mm lug to lug is not that big of a deal. I own a watch with 48mm lug to lug and my wrist is only slightly bigger than yours, and I wear that watch just fine.

>>13510324
And here's the picture to give context to my message. Fuck

>>13510331
Hello aliexpress

>smartwatch

Motorola moto360 2nd generation is so far nicest smartwatches I found and I bought them year ago. Only problem is battery but its problem with smartwatches in general..

help me guys...

- CASIO EFS S510L-1A, 46mm
- SWISS MILITARY HANOWA CHRONO CLASSIC 3308.13.007, 44mm
- BOCCIA TITANIUM 3776-01, 40mm

All 10ATM water resistant, zaphire glass, battery (Casio is solar)

Rolex is using one-piece mainsprings and arbors in their newest 2236 movements. they don't make a winder to reuse this mainspring, meaning that the entire mainspring barrel is disposable and needs to replaced with every service

if you are not bothered by the industry trend toward disposable watch parts, this makes servicing easier, quicker, and allows for more consistent quality control

>>13510377
Boccia.
It's smaller, and it's titanium. Just imagine a watch that you can't get any dents in. I wish they made all (steel)watches in titanium instead of steel.

>>13510390
It’s fucking metal. Just recycle it.
Good if it’s easier now.

>>13510390
At least for me, the "identity" of the watch is the balance assembly, fork, and escape wheel, the bridges, the dial, the hands, the case, and the crown. Any other parts are replaceable without activating my ship of Theseus angst.

>>13510377
swiss for me. cleaner design, not bulky. I really don't like the lug size and shape of the casio. I dislike the arrows on the boccia but for the rest not bad.

>>13510397
>balance assembly
the 2236 also uses rolex's first silicon hairspring which is non-adjustable, replace only, fixed with one time use studs that need to be replaced with it.

the balance wheel itself can stay if the hairspring is damaged and needs replacing, however

>>13510377
The Casio is the only one that's almost not shit. Don't listen to these /fa/ niggers, the rest are trash at best.

>>13510391
>>13510400
>>13510406
>>13510377
i guess it's your choice really

>>13510411
Kek.

>>13510390

Everyone should buy a 114270 while you can still get them in mint condition for decent prices.

Hey, Junghans guy? Are you still here?

I don't know about you, but I pulled the trigger just now. 3-4 days and it'll be here.

>>13510365
It's indeed off aliexpress but it's not from the usual chinkmicrobrands but Xiaomi

>>13510391
Yes boccia is titanium but tis cheapest one from those three so I guess they use some shitty movement

>>13510420
Im here. Holy shit nice. Post pic results with wrists.
For me is a family thing since i finally graduated from both degrees and my family wants to be a part of it.
So I ordered it from a retailer and it will be here in two days.
Its the automatic though, 38.
Everyone has been really supportive of this watch, i think it is a great cop

what is the best color combo for a milgauss?

>>13510424
Nice. Post pics when it gets there then.

>>13510377
Boccia looks best but Casio is the best quality. Nothing beats a gray market Casio in terms of value in new watches. There's few good looking ones in there too

This strap is comfy and all, but should I just LARP as a grandpa and put on an expanding bracelet? Or too ironic?

You two ordered this one, right?

>>13510433
I prefer leather strap but thanks

>>13510433
The Casio MTD family has some pretty neat diver-style watches.

I say diver-style because most are only 100m WR with no screw down crown, which is unfortunate. But at least most if not all models have a proper ratcheting bezel and LED backlights.

>>13510431
If it weren't that big of a thing, I would've probably ordered the 34 since its a bit more casual for everyday wear.

Did you get it with dial numbers or without?
>>13510436
No, this is not it at all.
Max Bill designed both the Automatic and the Handaufzug models. The Chronoscope is a more luxury item>>13510271
and is heavily influenced in design to Max Bill's. I think it does a great job really.
The one that you posted is a great watch, also with influence but in a different direction. I think Max Bill would've off'd himself before putting the weekday in letters on his watch.

Junghans are beautiful in general though

>>13510449
I got the dial numbers in 34mm. I liked it better.

>>13510075
Lumed MN strap

Why isnt sapphire glass standart for watches in 2018?

Starting to get really tired of people posting dogshit in these threads tbqh.

>>13510046
I have A budget of ~1500€ and I dont want a preowned watch. If not B&M then what would you suggest? They are aesthetically most pelasing to me... well some longines watches too But I cant buy longines because thats the name of that gay guy in Modern Family.

True, why would anyone buy a mechanical movement watch after 1980?

Is this /fa/?

>>13510517
Absolutely, it's a very nice looking watch.
What kind of movement does it have? Perhaps it's even /g/.

>>13510468
This one's nice right?

>>13510507
Absolutely gorgeous wrist game. I'm confident that you are able to choose whichever woman you want when they see this. And as you can imagine, so do I when I step outside my home wearing this.

I like these MN straps, but I'm not sure if any would fit on a gold-accented Baby Tuna.

not a fan of how huge the case is compared to the lug length either.

Anyone know how to adjust the second hand in a Casio MQ24-7B

>>13510628
How do you mean adjust?

>>13510640
It’s off, like it it’s not lined up with the second marks. I see some watches have ways to fix it but I’m wondering if the Casio is so cheap that it doesn’t even have that availability

>>13510628
Just fuckin bin it mate

>>13510468
HI :^)

>>13510628
>>13510650
Throw it in the garbage.

>>13510468
Ok, this will cheer you up.

Is going swimming with a watch on one of these a bad idea? I will lose it, right?

>>13510656
Great watch, hideous bracelet.

A magical fairy approaches you in the form of this shitter digital watch.
She tells you that your watch collection is too big and demands you to get rid of two watches.
If you comply, the watches disappear from this dimension and will never bee seen again, if you refuse, the fairy will rape you for 10 years.
Which watches do you get rid of and why?

>>13510721
Is she hot?

>>13510656
>>13510669

>>13510723

I'm confused. I don't know what you guys are focusing on.

>>13510739
Then I would let her take away the cheapest one I have, the sarb.

>>13508910

For me, you hit the nail on the head. I was so close to buying Alpina a few times but my heart went elsewhere. But watch collecting and wearing is all an effort of heart. If a watch speaks to you, it speaks to you. If you feel amazing wearing a watch, then the brand and price doesn't really matter. And Alpina seems large enough to provide decent customer service in case there are issues.

If you are going for a 1 watch type situation, I would wait a little and save more. If you find you still want the alpina in a couple weeks of searching and trying other models/brands on, then definitely try to seek it out to try in person if you haven't. Always try it on before you buy if you can and if you can't, Amazon should have a decent refund process.

>>13509356

Depends on the brand and technology but the 2 i have I never wear and the citizen eco drives boast that they have a 6 month life span before needing some more sun. I find they charge easily with a days wear, no need to actively leave it in the windowsill daily or anything

Rate my wrist game. The PAM homage is completely sterile one a friend gave to me. I wore it once, got hammered and lost a strap pin and now I've got to wait until I get my replacements from Parnis and pray to god they fit because the watch is a completely sterile and lord knows who made the case and what the strap pin threads are.

Is this a good watch? I see it a lot, and people seem to love it.

>>13510789
Pretty great!

I'd like to see more of your panerai.

>>13510744
>>13510756
I hate these bracelets. they're a nightmare to refinish.

>>13510123

no truer words have been said about Seiko. Started with the SKX, then a couple years later its all Grand Seiko. Sometimes I think I should sell them all and go back to the SKX, a simpler time.

>>13510571

Love it, was thinking about getting this one a couple years back.

>>13510582
The NATO is better than the bracelet that came on it unfortunately

>>13510591
Impressive

>>13510804
perlon or leather pls

>>13510546
Looks pretty good to me

>>13510811
I have a couple of leather straps it doesn't really look good with either

How can I get the red alpinist? Is there something similar? ;_; Lookin for a long time

>>13510837
I see them pop up on nip auction sites somewhat often. Apply yourself.

>>13510776
Bracelet fit and finish, solid end links etc.

>>13510791
Its a great watch. I miss the wavy dial in those versions tho.

>>13510794
Thats because they are not cheap crap.

>>13510847
Would you recommend the wavy or the new version to someone? What are your thoughts? Is the bond heritage good or bad?

>>13510792
It's no real Panerai though. It's a homage-piece (ie. somewhat close replica). 44mm titanium case, domed and beveled sapphire crystal. Asian unitas hand-wound movement with swan-neck regulator. Runs somewhat fast but I'm not in a hurry to get it fixed since I have a strap pin+tube-assembly on the loose.

>>13510850
they're overpriced crap. I would like to have a discussion with whoever thought those four small bright polished strips between the brushed links was a good idea

>>13510853
I like the bond heritage and i like the watch. Tend to like the original wavy dial better, but most recent co-axials are best calibers. The first co-axial are less great... id skip them.

The original ETA chronometer and Quartz versions look great, more tooly with the all painted dials, and are cheaper... The original one in Goldeneye was the Quartz also.

>>13510843
Thanks a lot! I have never visited a japanese website. Will look into it.

>>13510856
One of the best 20th century bracelets. Ages ahead of Rolex then f.e.

And you can of course dislike the looks, but at least whoever decided to introducr those polished stripes was not thinking in cutting machine time.

Do you guys wear your watches 24h a day? or do you take it of, whenever you go to sleep or come home?

>>13510868
I only wear no watch while sleeping.

>>13510868
I take mine off when I sleep by my girlfriend or when I have sex but that's basically it.

>>13510837
give up or find someone who owns one and throw money under their nose, too many people are waiting to grab a red alpi these years

>>13510864
The person who introduced the design probably wanted there to be at least twice separately made parts with more complex geometries. Then the production engineer jumped in and did what he is paid to do.

Videogame speedrunning makes me think of the mechanical vs quartz debate.

Some games have separate sections for with and without glitches, ya? it's like, the glitchless runs would have been the original runs and are mechanical in this analogy. as time went on, people found new techniques, glitches(quartz) which opened up new realms of what's possible. people still debate whether glitches or quartz spoil the spirit of the thing, or if the new possibilities should be celebrated

>>13510882
calm down there buddy

Got this on the mail today. Seiko SNK809. It's my first auto.

Rate it, /wr/. Too small for my wrist?

>>13510894
just a thought

>>13510912
No, it's not. Kinda on the limit I'd say.

>>13510932
Another pic

>>13510943
I think it's fine. It would look much better on a leather strap tho. Small watches always do.

>>13510912
Looks fine man, some watches are meant to wear small. The SNK80x series is one of those watches. Very casual.

Agree with >>13510945 too. Fell back in love with the 805 when I threw it on some leather. Makes it in the rotation at least once a week.

>>13510945
Yeah that's what I'm going to do. Can you link me some good (but not too expensive) dark brown leather straps for this? I was thinking in buying a 20 or 22 mm strap and then notch it a bit on the ends so it fits on the lungs and "hugs" them at the same time. What do you think?

>>13510965
https://shop.colareb.it/en/

Perhaps this is ok? 50 euro or so for good leather, it doesn't get much cheaper I think.

>>13510965
If you're really looking to budget out the below has worked well for me. 18mm for the 80x.
