Should i cop for $200?

Otherwise any recommendations around $200-300~?

Got this at the thrift store for $4 the other day.

>>13548040
$200 is high for a Seiko 5, "deluxe" or not

I'm a fan. Mechanicals are inferior and shit.

>>13548140
I heard people in here are preparing for a nuclear apocalypse and buy mechanical watches because they resist emp

>>13548152
Funny thing is, digital watches are small enough that they'd probably also survive EMP events.

So if I just want a timepiece that is obnoxious to most people, do I have to go Diesel or will this do?

>>13548159
Fuck it, never buying a mechanical watch again.

>>13548163
That will definitely do

>>13548159
Just a thought, wont watches in general survive emps as they are basically faraday cages?

>>13548178
No.
Search Rolex milgaus

Anyone actually prefer this to the new GMT Master? The ceramic bezel on it is repulsive. Shame about the riveted bracelet on this but apart from that I prefer the Tudor.

>>13548031
bad date window

>>13548209
If only it was BB58 sized.

>>13548209
Ceramic bezels are shit, but I'd still prefer an older aluminum bezel GMT to the Tudor or the current GMTs. Unfortunately vintage Rolex prices are insane so I'm probably never going to buy a 1675 Pepsi GMT-Master which is the greatest watch ever created.

>>13548232
I'd agree on the aesthetics, but the 16710 has the better build quality and movement while keeping most of the classic looks.

Behold the ultimate EMP-proof timepiece. Unfortunately the power reserve is only 4 billion years.

>>13548265
I should probably add, that so far only the 7123 in the middle is serviced and restored. Also I have a 7546, that's serviced but not cased yet, and a few Crystrons.

>>13548209
>>13548232
Why don't you fags like ceramic? Are you gay?

>>13548299
The font on the new one is highly revolting

>>13548288
Do you replace any of the circuitry or is it like a mechanical, albeit with much fewer jewels

>>13548299
The colors and font are wrong and the shinyness of the ceramic is repulsive on what was supposed to be a tool watch. Plus maxicases are pig disgusting.

>>13548316
The font on the old ones is disgusting, ruins the entire watch. Plus the colors fade and look shit after some time.

>>13548324
>tool watch meme
No one is using a $10,000 watch as a tool for anything other than to get women.

>>13548323
Generally nothing needs to be replaced, these are pretty robust. Though the one on the left might have a damaged tooth on the date wheel, I'll check that out when it's that watches turn to be restored. I can probably fit a replacement date wheel from a completely different Seiko movement.

>>13548316
You know what, I honestly think the Pepsi is ugly. I don't understand the hype.

>>13548384
It's litcherally the perfect Rolex.

The normal Sub is faked too well now and people might think yours is fake, the Hulk is very nice but not versatile enough due to being green, the GMT is impossible to fake thanks to the dual color bezel and has a million hour reserve to boot.

>>13548411
This.

The Pepsi is a homerun.

>>13548411
>people might think yours is fake
FUCK stop caring what other people think

>>13548441
No.

>>13548327
>I don't understand the concept of a genre
OK.

>>13548324
All of this is correct

>>13548327
Wrong. And the shine looks bad, have you seen them in person? Pretty much every current model in the Rolex lineup looks worse than the older ones, I ended up buying used instead.

>>13548462
>the shine looks bad
I bet you like bead blasted hands and black anodised hour markers too.

>>13548471
No, but I do like anodized aluminum bezels. And I ended up buying one with shiny hands and hour markers and a glossy dial and a polished stainless bezel anyway.

>>13548478
>anodized aluminum bezel
Enjoy your scratches and fading.

>>13548484
>ceramic bezel
enjoy your cracked bezel. Every material has its ups and downs.

>>13548491
>thinking I'm dumb enough to drop my watch
Sad.

>>13548495
I wear my aluminum bezel insert diver at my manual labor job. Got a few dings and stuff that if it were ceramic it probably would have broken. I was not even the guy you were arguing with but I think both have pros and cons to the point where it is really just what you preference.

>>13548499
>manual labour
Disgusting.

>>13548280
Nice explorer.

>>13548532
Custom woodwork. It's fun.

>>13548061

>>13548546
Any job you can't wear a ceramic Rolex to is a shit job.

Fuck of shitposter

>>13549591
Not the worst fashion watch, but overpriced. You can find fakes that are probably made on the same assembly line for under $20.

is there a watch that isn't an exorbitantly expensive vintage piece or an exorbitantly expensive modern piece that doesn't have a day/date/daydate window? utterly useless and ugly. i just want a watch under $300 that has a clean dial and isn't complete dogshit -- why is this so hard to find, shouldn't it be easy to find less functionality in cheaper watches

>>13549605

I just want a digital watch that isn't complete dogshit.

>>13549605

Be sure to look at Hamilton, Seiko and Tissot.

>>13548771
You were right, the cathedral hands do look like shit. You gonna get a bezel with a better font? Curious to see the end result

This shit is wild. I love it!

>>13549654
practically 100% of watches from those brands have daydate complications in my experience

>>13549713
Why don’t you want the date? It’s so handy.

>>13549713

On any watch that matters, you have to set the date by cycling all the way through the 24 hours of the day. This takes much longer than three seconds.

Immediately retract your statement and apologise or I will be forced to blacklist you from the general.

More accurate than $100k watch

Tracks distance, heart rate, calories burned, automatically syncs to Strava when bike riding.

Deposits $10 in your savings account if you walk 5+ miles a day for 100 days in a row as a reward for healthy habits

Lowers your health insurance cost + reduces your copay

Set time and date by opening app and pressing sync, once a year.

>>13549915
you can get with a gold digger and not be a pathetic pushover

>>13549947
Not true, you think a gold digger would be around you if there were no significant amounts of free money around? Nope.
They would just find the next sorry loser to suck dry.

>>13549934
Spies you for who knows whom also. Win win.

Meanwhile your watch, uses an antiquated wound spring and regulator to turn a series of gears

That break down so often to the point where thickened lubricating oils from metal dust shavings need to be cleaned off or face permanent damage and warranty voiding

Only advancement in the last 200 years, is a chunk of metal attached to a ratchet so you don't have to wind it manually.

Your "priceless" dial is plastic, and people fetishize now extinct glass enamel on brass dials that Haven't been in production for 100 years.


Brands that you buy from use adhesive to affix said "priceless dials" rathen than dial feet.

Even high end brands are using plastic dial feet.


None of you care because you think a skeletonized barrel cover is worth $30,000

The fucking thing costs 120 € and I would ahve to walk 8 km every day for 100 days without any rest days to earn 8,5 € as a reward?
800 km and 8,5 €
Sure, if I walk 12000 km in 15 x 800km parts I will get a free watch, fuck yeah.

>>13549963
You need a rest day after walking 5 miles in a day?

>>13549967
But all that isnt completly false tho.

>>13549972
Based on what a fat sack of shit you are I am in awe you have the ability, let alone the time, to walk 8km every fucking day. Sure, spend 2 hours per day walking every day for 100 days in a row..
It's not the rest for us normal people, it's the sheer boredom and stupidity of the task. Like in those good old pay to win games like tribes ascend where you either could spend some money for a cool gun or grind the game for 400 hours.

Don't know if timex easy reader is all stainless steel. My strap is kind of crap. Second and minute hand a bit too short, seems like easy reader has that too.

What’s embarrassing is not knowing rich people don’t waste their money on this.

hmmm don't know if I should get gold or silver. Black dial and gold aren't a thing for Junghans, right?

>>13550833
Gold plated/tone or solid?

>>13550812
On what? Watches? Many rich people like watches. Some other dont and they wear Rolex or *gasp* Hublot.

>>13550815
What colour? Tan would look good too or do i go for something like emerald green?

This watch did only cost me 115€, you can easily afford one if you find one on ebay.

>>13550885
Leatherstrap works too

>>13550862
The quintessential classic diver strap is a brown seal skin one actually. Sometimes you can find vintage pre-embargo ones from old unsold stocks on ebay for relatively cheap, mostly from European sellers. They are usually marked "pinseal" or "phoque".

Let me try that again.
What do you think when you see a guy wearing a submariner?
I find them ostentatious and unimaginative. It’s the go-to “I’m rich” watch.

>>13551055
Pretty much the same thoughts on that.
Rich fags almost never give a fuck about horology and just buy the most recognized expensive watch.
At least the new money / daddys wealth rich fags.

>>13550608
Buy the white with arabic. I know the lines seem tempting but they dont age as well as the classic look

Same here. Submariners are grewt watches but too meme at the same time; so you can not make too many asumptions about a person for wearing one.

Which model anon?

A couple of threads back someone asked for an overview of the differences between the Seiko 52xx and 56xx calibres. To start with, this article posted to WUS provides a good overview: https://forums.watchuseek.com/f366/history-classic-automatic-king-seiko-comparison-5626-7113-5256-8010-a-1034554.html

What I will add to the above is mainly context. In the pre-quartz era the two main Seiko watch-making factories operated semi-independently as competitiors and so Suwa Seikosha (tsunami symbol on the dial) and Daini Seikosha (lighting bolt on the dial) each independently developed movements and manufactured watches, though both sides shared marketing and sales distribution channels. The 56xx is a ground up Suwa design and shares very little in common with the Daini designed 52xx.

One thing to generally keep in mind about pre-quartz Seiko movements is that the Daini designed movements tend to be much more fundamentally sound designs that are more reliable over long stretches of time (i.e. decades). Today far fewer Daini movements have known "Achilles heel's" than vintage Suwa designs. Comparing the Daini 52xx to the Suwa 56xx maitnains this pattern, as the Suwa 56xx is known to have a very high risk of having a plastic rocker in the day/date quickset mechanism shrink and crack over time, causing the quick-set to eventually fail. Fortunately, replacements are now starting to be made in Australia, but none-the-less the issue is a hassle.

So basically, I think the best way to understand these movements is that the Suwa 56xx was designed to be a mid-range movement family, with most 56xx based movements used in low-beat 3hz form in Lord Matic models with minimal levels of adjustment, whereas by contrast the Daini designed 52xx was desgined from the ground up to be a high-end production movement that was made in 4hz versions only and which was adjusted to a higher standard even in mid-range use in LM Special models.

>>13551458
In a way, you can almost think of them as Seiko's version of a 2824 and 2892, where the Suwa 56xx is the 2824 and the 52xx is the 2982 in the analogy. The 52xx was simply designed from the drawing board on to be a more high-end design.

Another important consideration is how Daini and Suwa treated their respective King Seiko models. Suwa had developed the Grand Seiko line as their top line, while King Seiko was originally Daini's top line and was meant as an equivalent tier competitor to Grand Seiko. Market success led to the decision that Grand Seiko would become the top brand line and King Seiko would become the second highest brand line at Seiko in this period, but Daini themselves never really accepted the notion of King Seiko's playing second fiddle to Grand Seikos, and so Daini never actually followed the corporate guidelines that said King Seiko models were to be adjusted to a less accurate standard than Grand Seiko models. The practical upshot of this stubbornness is that Daini produced King Seikos tend to have had more adjustment work done on them, and more care and attention in general lavished on them than Suwa produced King Seikos.

It may also interest you to know that after the quartz-revolution, in the 1990s, when Seiko wanted to start making upper mid-range and up mechanical watches again, the 4hz automatic movement they dusted off from the archives and put back into production was the 52xx, reborn as the 4Sxx. Within a few years, Seiko had decided the 4Sxx was too high end for mid-range Seiko products and moved the design to being a Credor exclusive, which should be a testament to what they thought of the fundamentals of the design.

Should I wear a watch if I’m a wristlet?

>>13551461
just wear a smaller watch

>>13550841
Fuck your and idiot

>>13551055
You’re the only one knowing he’s wearing a Sub.
Most normal people wouldn’t know.
So you’re just jealous kek

>>13551458
>>13551459
Hey I'm that anon, thanks a lot for the write up. Also does the last 4 numbers after the movement number (ex: 56xx-7000) mean anything apart from day/date complications?

>>13551620
The way that Seiko model codes work is that the first two numbers (or in the post-quartz era, number and letter) denote the movement family, the second two numbers denote the grade and whether it is time only, date only, or day date, and the last four numbers denote the case style (and note the last four numbers on the case-back denote the case style, the last four numbers of the dial denote the dial code, which can be different from the case code).

The last digit in the first four works like this: 0 or 1 - No date, 5 - Date only, 6 - Day-date.

So, a King Seiko 5256-8010 has a 52xx movement, King Seiko grade (the LM Specials are all 520x or 521x), day-date, with an 8010 case style.

By contrast, a Lord Matic 5601-9000 has a 56xx movement, Lord Matic grade, no date, and a 9000 case style.

Hope that helps.

>>13551627
It does help quite a bit, I actually got a Seikomatic-P cause of your posts (unless it was canadian anon, or are you canadian anon?) And now am looking at a "Higher end" movement. One thing i am somewhat worried about is the servicing costs and parts availability, I suppose that means I will look at a 52xx movement, or even a 5740 LM if i can't find a watch I like.

Would you have any resources to look up older Seiko case styles, I saw one recently, I think it was described as a pillowcase style, really short square lugs that looked quite nice.

>>13551641
I am the Canadian anon who had a Seikomatic-P 5106, though I since sold that watch to another regular in these threads.

Servicing costs on a 52xx or a Suwa produced 5740C powered Lord Marvel 36000 shouldn't be too bad as both movement families tend to be fairly reliable and, worst case, parts donors are plentiful and cheap.

Just make sure you have a decent independent watchmaker to service them.

As for case styles, I've generally just Google "seiko" and the movement number in quotes and gone through the image results to look for case styles. Other shot would be the vintage catalogue scans available on the Seikoholics forum.

>>13551648
Yeah I found a guy, works from his apartment but seems to have serviced a few vintage Seiko and Omega models, also may I ask why you sold your Seikomatic, too many watches?

>>13551683
I wasn't wearing it much as my other vintage Seikos, and he was interested in it for the push button quickset feature. Plus he ended up wanting to sell his King Seiko 45-7001 as the long lug to lug on that watch meant it was a bit big for his wrist, and knowing the cosmetic and mechanical condition it was in I jumped at the chance to buy it. Pic related.

Independent watchmakers working out of their apartments seems to be a motif.

>>13551731
Is he the guy with the Omega marine chronometer? I must say that he probably has the best collection on wt

>>13549798
8 times more per year than necessary, and it's ugly. pretty much a pure disadvantage

Is this anygood for $30?

>>13549759
thanks boi

>>13551774
Don't buy old mechanical watches, the movements are shit even when maintained and in good condition.

>>13551753
I don't actually have a marine chronometer; I bought one but it had to go back because it had a number of mechanical defects. Just a matter of time though until I find another one for a good price.

First time posting, faggot. The Sub is associated with a BMW because it’s a good watch ruined by douches. You taking offense at the analogy indicates you’re one of those douches.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a <500$ automatic divers watch? I’m on a 3 month trip to the Caribbean for my Divemaster cert and I’ll want something to celebrate when I return

Nice, been eyeing that lately. Does the oysterflex have ez link in the clasp or that it for sizing?
