I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Black Bay, is in fact, Replica/Black Bay, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, "Shitter".
The genuine Tudor Black Bay is not a bad watch itself, but rather another meme dive watch, Rolex made by put together left-over parts, screws and other components, resulting a full watch defined by very insensitive marketing.
Many watch fuckers wear a replica versions of the Black Bay wristwatch every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the replicas of the Black Bay which is widely worn today are often called “Shitters”, and many of its users are not aware that it basically makes them gay instantly, intensifying their desires to suck cock while wearing their Fake Tudor.
There really are better watches for cheaper, like Seikos, and these people aren't buying those, but it is just a part of their gay nature.

hey /wt/, how do you like this?

>>13581401
That's a nice little hami

want

>>13581425
Archibald approved

>>13581388

also want

A rattrapante (also called split second) is a kind of stopwatch or chronograph with two second hands. The hands initially move together. The user can active the split-second mechanism to stop one of the hands to take a reading without interrupting the timing.

Unironically want to buy this only because it was in one of my favourite movies

>>13581463
A normal chronograph works using a heart cam; the second hand has a heart cam attached to it, and to reset the second hand, a hammer pushes against the heart cam until the second hand returns to the starting position. The hammer is fixed to the case/movement plate, and the heart cam is fixed to the second hand.

>>13581463
You had a webm of that too, right?

just got this guy used. did I do good?

theres a tiny scratch on the hardlex. should I swap it with sapphire?

>>13581468
In a rattrapante, the additional split-second hand moves with the normal chrono hand until the pusher activates. At that point, a pawl closes around a wheel and holds it in place, holding the split-second hand in place. There is no disengaging of any gears! It's simply the pawl opening and closing.

I know this is a shitter, but fuck do I want it. Sorry archie

>>13581471
Depends on what you paid m8

>>13581478
That's not a shitter. It's just at the very lowest end of acceptable mechanical watches.

>>13581477
The way it works is the same mechanism as the standard reset. The split-second hand is not connected to the main chrono train by gears. Instead, it has a spring pushing against a hammer that pushes up against the heart cam on the normal second hand. In normal operation, the tension in the spring keeps the hammer engaged on the heart cam, and the hammer is physically connected to the split-second hand, so the split second hand runs. When the pawl closes, the wheel connected to the split-second hand is held in place with more force than the spring holding the hammer in place is able to exert, so the hand stops, and the hammer starts sliding against the heart cam. Once the pawl is released, the spring on the hammer now restores the split-second hand to being in line with the normal chrono hand. This explains why the split-second hand appears to whip around a bit - it is essentially undergoing a chrono reset, but instead of the heart cam moving and the hammer staying fixed, the heart cam stays fixed to the chrono second hand (which is in turn held in place by the chrono gear train), and the hammer, spring, and wheel holding the split second hand move to be in line with the heart cam.

>>13581508
The good guys always win.

>>13581471
Honestly just buy another hardlex. They're cheap to replace every three years and do an excellent job with reflection.

If you go aftermarket Sapphire you're getting a lot more reflection most of the time.

>>13581518
Other way around friend

>>13581497
>>13581499
how? The watch sells for anywhere between $850-$1000

>>13581527
>Buying a watch that costs $850-1000 and still comes with a mineral crystal

>>13581530
Hardlex is fine. Sapphire can be added for $40

For a long time, the citizen 5800 was the hairspring-regulated watch with the fastest beat rate in the world, at 43,200bph. However, because of the design of the escapement, it did not have the fastest-beating second hand. While most hairspring watches are driven by the mainspring, electric watches are driven from the balance wheel. This has a number of advantages - the much lower torque in the geartrain is a big one, since it results in less wear on the parts. One consequence is that the escapement design is generally different. In the Citizen electronic watches, an indexing system is used which only advances the hands every other oscillation. As a result, the hand ticks 6 times per second, compared to the 12 times you'd expect from a 43,200bph balance with a swiss lever escapement. As a result, the 36k 32A from 1966 still held the record for fastest beating hairspring-regulated watch for a long, long time.

I don't get the appeal t.b.h.

>>13581533
>Sapphire can be added for $40
>Watch costs $1000 and still doesn't include sapphire by default
>implying you didn't get swindled

>>13581536
Me neither. It's an ugly watch. Without the pepsi colors it would be OK, but it's not an aesthetic design.

>>13581536
Ahh the good old Superman.
People who call it a Pepsi are shitters.
But yeah, I'm not a fan of two toners.

>>13581388
lol I made this stupid meme picture a long while ago. Thanks for saving it I guess.

I'm building a sub 300 watch guide for normies coming into the thread, split into four catagories.

The last category is digital/analog watches for those army lads and retro boners

Current list is

Casio ae1200
G shock 5600/5610

If you guys want your favorites on this list, throw me names to check out

>>13581543
>Ahh the good old Superman.
You mean the Spider-man.

>>13581540
but sapphire is more shatter-prone than hardlex

>>13581550
Both acceptable desu

Titanium cases and bracelets are expensive to do properly. The entire price difference between the Sumo and Shogun is in the switch to titanium.

not just any in-house movement but the 46*** is a something orient has been refining since '75.
>>13581605
saw that yesterday and completely forgot about it, but it's kinda cool

>>13581614
>not wanting to count how many time the wire was rolled over

>>13581619
Why not just make the watch $1040 instead? If you buy a watch that costs more than $300 and it doesn't have sapphire you are getting fucked. Unless it's going for some retro appeal with acrylic, there is no excuse to not have sapphire.

>>13581628
sapphire is worse for diving than hardlex.

>>13581629

>>13581663
>still haven't been able to show a professional swiss diver with mineral cystal

>>13581632
Not him but Hardlex is more shatter resistant compared to Sapphire.

>>13581590
so beautiful i love it

Oh this is the current thread. Ok I guess.

>>13581696
again, if you ever shatter your crystal, you are retarded.

Also every industry standard diver uses sapphire

>>13581707
>>13581696
The yield strength of sapphire is in the neighborhood of 2.25 GPa.
The yield strength of mineral glass is around 75 GPa.

The modulus of elasticity (how easily the material deforms) for the two: sapphire - 250 GPa, and mineral glass - 82.5 GPa.

What does all this mean? It means, for the same diameter and thickness of watch crystal, it takes about 35 times more force to fail a piece of glass than a piece of sapphire, but sapphire will deform about three time more than glass before failing.

Plastics have a yield stength of around 67 GPa, and a modulus of elasticity of 2585 GPa, which means they are about as strong as glass but able to deform about ten times more than glass before failing.

Also, sapphire and mineral glass is tested by dropping a 2.25 ounce steel ball-bearing on a representative crystal from varying heights until the crystal breaks and the total amount of energy needed to break the glass can be calculated. According to ISO 14368, Part 3, mineral glass must absorb 1600 to 2100x10^-4 Newton-Meters, sapphire is only required to 800 to 1800x10^-4 NM.

For whoever wanted a minute sweep of the f8192

>>13581567
So I should buy an ugly watch in the hopes that one day I can possibly resell it for around the same price that I bought it for, maybe even accounting for inflation if I'm really lucky? And in exchange I get to spend money on servicing and get to enjoy years of wearing an ugly watch?

I will never understand people who delude themselves into thinking watches are an investment.

>>13581713
You still haven't showed me a submariner with mineral.

>>13581721
>By 1991, the Rolex Perpetual was the last watch to possess a acrylic crystal. Now, all Rolex watches feature the sapphire crystal. Some versions, such as the Datejust also feature a small Cyclops lens, which magnifies the date through the sapphire crystal.

>Comparing the acrylic crystal and the sapphire crystal presents many pros and only a few cons. Both offer protection for the delicate dial and movement of each watch, though the sapphire crystal is considered harder. This is not always a good thing, however, as the acrylic, if broken, will not shatter, while the sapphire crystal will, potentially causing major damage to the interior of the watch. It is a give and take when deciding between the two. However, Rolex, now solely sporting sapphire crystal, has clearly made their choice.

>>13581725
You still haven't showed me a single swiss diver with mineral.

What drives the hands in an analog quartz watch? I mean in a mechanical watch it's a spring, right? In an analog quartz watch is there an electric motor that works just like the motor in an electric car or a washing machine or whatever? And what causes the hands to jump forward in ticks?

>>13582083
It's a stepper motor. I'm sure you can find more detailed vids on it, but here:

>And what causes the hands to jump forward in ticks?
Also, not sure if the hour and minute hands tick in very small ticks, or if it's only the second hand that ticks? Also, a digital watch doesn't have any moving parts at all, right? Seems like that would make digital watches the most durable of watches?

Are there any aftermarket adjustable bracelet clasps, Rolex or Omega style?

>>13581749

I’m thinking of making watches in China and maybe doing a kickstarter because I don’t like where modern watchmakers are going with more and more minimalism and thick construction.

I want to do classic watches inspired by vintage pieces pic related. Im thinking of starting with a chronograph watch in 50s style based off of a universal geneve or lemania, but with a quartz movement to keep the price around 275.

Manual and automatic movements are 2-300 more expensive, especially with complications, and I’m not sure if there’s as much demand for that compared to quartz movements.

Would you guys like to see classic watches based off of vintage pieces around this price and with a quartz movement?

Pls give feedback on whether you’d be interested in buying or what kind of vintage watch styles you’d like to buy

>>13582618

>>13582687
OP business poster here. Good to find this project. I was kind of afraid that there would be some guys coming in and just choosing a standard case and dials and marketing as vintage inspired. Their kelly design is the only one that even approaches true vintage design features but its still very modern and minimalist with the standard hands and numerals. Their target audience with ~199 USD price certainly wouldn’t really care about those details. I think still think their “custom” watches are very very generic and hardly approach the unique designs of the eras of watch design they claim to be inspired from. It’s more like they just copied the color schemes and changed around the colors on the dial.

>>13582695
By standard I mean in China you can pick and choose from standard components of the watch for assembly, eg. dial, case, hands. You can see they use the exact same parts for each “custom” watch just changing a few things like the paint on the dial.

>>13582704
I got it at Walmart, not a mall...

>>13582685
That's more like it. Much closer to vintage styling than Undone but obviously the case and crystal shape is very modern. Not sure why they wouldn't go with acrylic to achieve the very domed crystal shape, I guess it's because it's cheaper to go with the standard mass produced sapphire nowadays.

Also why are these "vintage" watches 40-42mm? the vintage watches were actually usually 34-39mm.

>>13582732
Because no one wants watches that small anymore.

>>13582707

>>13582618
make a white dial stainless cased one like >>13581464 and if you have it for 200ish I'll buy one asap.

>>13582347
>What film?
oss 117

>>13582865
why? I have a small as FUCK wrist (see >>13582842 ) and every watch I have tried out before, even bigger ones, look pretty nice on my wrist. those big chunks (Fossil etc.) look like dogshit most of the time so why even consider wearing them? PLUS, older models and objectively good watches, as far as I can tell, are usually pretty small anyway and even fit on smaller wrists

Fuck, it's putting Omegas on bunnies Wednesday and all the pics turned out blurry. This is the clearest one.

>>13582889
I would have wanted to make a pic for Seikos on bunnies Tuesday, but my Baby Tuna would have probably pulled the little fucker's head off.

>>13582618
This is doomed to failure due to the minimal demographic overlap between people who would appreciate the classical styling and sizing, and people who want $300 Chinese quartz shitters.

>>13582889
err ... wat??

>>13582410
Seeing you have a have a ym, does this look genuine to you? The owners friend want apes on me when I said that it looks like a rep because the chronometer text is too ugly to be on a real one.

>>13582865
Say hello to cheap vintage watches.
>>13582867
Rectangular watches wear large. They are have more volume than round watches. The apple watch is well within the current trend of watches getting bigger.

Just passing by to tell you do not buy chink watch stands from ebay

>>13582894
You can do a Swiss Ronda movement or Seiko quartz movement for a 225+ price. I don’t know if the people into classic styles (i amj would want a quartz watch at this price point, but the alternative is a 500-1000 watch with manual/automatic complications, which are also a pain in the ass to service

>>13582897

This is why moving to /fa/ was the death of /wt/.

what was wrong with the /g/ threads exactly? stopped visiting them a couple of weeks ago and suddenly all hell broke lose.
was there shitposting involved? if so, props to the mods for actually putting a stop to the retards, way too few mods do this on all other boards

>>13582811
what the fuck is that white thing on the top left of the watch? looks like a goddamn rip cord for a Beyblade, jesus fucking christ

the only thing I think I read was that someone was either posting replicas for no reason or that someone was spamming Invictas

I wasn't making any comments about the board itself but about the quality of the posts. /fa/ does indeed seem to be gay as fuck but overall, it looks as if people know how to have a halfway decent conversation with an alright amount of banter and discussion. compared to boards like /tv/ and /co/, this place is heaven

Actually it was the complete opposite. The mods did nothing to stop the constant trolls and shitposting and instead just gave up and moved / banned the general.

Same thing happened to the al/ck/ threads on /ck/, except they never relocated anywhere.

>>13583066
Sorry, next time I'll stop by my parent's house to take the picture in their basement.

Finally popped the cherry on my Baby Tuna, took it in the pool. Sure it wasn't even 200 centimeters deep, but at least it was in water.

One thing I noticed how fucking dense and heavy it is. If somehow the springbar breaks it will fire off towards the bottom sanic-fast like a ship anchor with no chance of you grabbing it before it's gone forever.

I've got a collection going. The DW is a gift from my girlfriend. I'm particularly in love with the Junkers though.

>>13581388
Do you like my clock guys?

>>13583253
Gave a 6 for the junkers
Casio 4
Dw 2
Pulsar 3

If you didn't include the last two in the collection pucture it would've been a better score fa.m

>>13583261
How is the F-91W only a 4?

And fair enough on the last two. I do like the Pulsar though because I got it when I was 15, holds a special place in my heart

>>13583270
Memes don't make a watch better. If it was a w86, f105 or the bigger ones or something actually vintage digital, I would have given a 5.

>>13583283

>Paying anything more than $10 for a Casio digital

No. The memes are because of how cheap and reliable it is. They're justified.

>>13583287

>>13583287
My f105 was 12% more and has e.l. and looks better.
My w86 was 27% more has e.l., better water resistance, bigger and looks miles better.

>>13583296
>bigger

That isn't a positive or a negative

Funnily enough I do actually have a stainless steel F105 somewhere but I can't find it right now.

>>13582954
that one is submarine themed so it being a bit bulky is ok. would probably look very nice on the wrist of some officer in dress clothes

>>13583336
Your watches are shitters.

>>13583329
Good luck. I've only ever seen one in the hands of a major HAQ collector.

>>13583338

Junkers doesn't mean that stop bullying me

>>13583231
What model is your Junkers? I can't find it without the red "min" like this

>>13583352

It's the same model, just the min is washed out in the photo.

>>13583346
It has a bloody miyota in it. it's a cheap nasty disgusting shitter.

>>13583360

What the fuck is wrong with the Miyota 9132? It's a good, reliable movement. For a £400 watch it's great.

>>13583365
>400 pounds
>Hesalite crystal
senpai

>>13583370
yea, that's my one complaint. I still love it though.

>>13583374
I actually really like the design of it i'm just yanking your chain. Can you replace the crystal with sapphire?

>>13583380
I mean I always could find a watchsmith who'd oblige. It's just a 40mm domed crystal after all so I doubt it'd be too much work. I'll probably do it if/when the hesalite gets too scratched up.

>>13583370
Acrylic crystals are excellent. It's mineral glass that are the worst.

Help me out /fa/
Looking for a dress watch but having trouble finding what I'm looking for. Watch must have a nice silver sunburst dial, bar indices (minimal use of numerals is ok), be hand wound, have no date window and no sub-dials (power reserve is ok as long as it's not too obtrusive). Dauphine hands preferred but not required, around the 500 mark.
Is pic related my best option? I'm not a fan of the font used on 12 and 6 and the power reserve is a bit too prominent.

>>13582900
I like your Brolex

>>13583401
By hand wound, do you mean not automatic, or just that it's possible to hand wind?

Absolute watch and /fa/ noob here....

I am looking for a very cheap watch with transparent face that lets you watch the gears and cogs move. It will be my first non digital watch, so I don’t care if it is so cheap it breaks after a month. I just want the wow factor of looking at the cogs

>>13583403
Non-automatic.
All my other watches are autos and I like the idea of winding it for special occasions, as well as being slimmer ofc. Display case back would be good too but I don't want to narrow the search even further

>>13583405
>I don’t care if it is so cheap it breaks after a month.
Buy a $30 Chinese skeleton watch off eBay.

>>13583419
That was my first instinct Forsining looks cool

>>13583425
oof

>>13583425
yikes.

>>13583401
Vintage slavshit dress watch

I really want a moonphase watch..

>>13583425
>Forsining looks cool

Anyone got any recommendations for vintage quartz chronos?
Something distinctive.

>>13583505
I expected this, but you’re talking to someone who has rarely ever seen skeleton watches IRL. I was stocking shelves and unloading trucks until a few months ago.

What do you recommend as an inexpensive skeleton watch? That’s the only style that even interests me.

>>13583462
Proof that even JLC can't make skeleton watches look good.

>>13583503
Then buy one

>>13583524
But they look great.

>>13583401
I don't think there are any other new mechanical watches that look like your orient star, you should just get it. It's a really good watch but hard to find, so the price is high.

>>13583529
99.9% of the time skeleton watches look like dogshit.

>>13583506
The early seiko chrono's that the RAF purchased. One of the nicest looking chronographs of all creation.

>>13583524
Huh? That's probably one of the few, if not only, good looking skeleton watches.

>>13583539
Make that two, forgot about this one.

>>13583535
Yet this one does not.

>>13583539
Disagree.

>>13583527

I would but seems like $1000 or so is the bare minimum for an automatic moonphase

>>13583527
Not him, but I'm saving for this beauty.

>>13583552
Not this one?

>>13581388
NEW THREAD
>>13583571
>>13583571

>>13583547
I am not sure if that counts as a skeleton watch. Most of the movement parts are next to the dial, not visble through tue dial. But yeah, that's nice.

>>13583570
Nope, I like the simplicity of the one I posted. Aesthetically.
I appreciate the mechanics of that one though. Plus if I was going to get that one I'd just get the meteorite dial version.

>>13583578
That's fine, I was simply curious.

>>13583574
The entire movement is visible, I'd say it counts.

>>13583585
Only part of the movement. It's a really nice watch but it's not a full skeleton.

>>13583589
There's a negligible amount of the movement that isn't visible.

>>13582900
It actually looks legit. Besides who even bothers to make fakes of this watch? The only thing that seems off is the gold center lugs. But might just be the angle of the photo. They seem to bulge out past the steel links.

>>13583615
I checked it. There are fakes of those.

>>13583538
That’s awesome. Thanks

>>13583513
One that doesn't look like it says 'foreskin' on the dial at a glance maybe.
To be honest I don't like skeleton watches, they're ugly and hard to read. If you want to see the movement you could just get a decent watch with a display caseback.

>>13582375
The roadster? maybe with the case shape, but overall the designs at still different. I'm no fan of RM, I think that most of their designs are tacky, but this is a blatant ripoff

>>13582412
What the actual fuck is "reddit spacing?"

>>13582900
Definitely fake. Bezel has rounded edges on the numbers, end links are too long, etc.

>>13584107
thanks for pointing these out
