My pops got this one last Christmas.

what do you guys think is a quarz shitter full gold watch worth by now? Prop can only melt it since noone gives a sweet shit about kurt freyes quarz watches I guess.

>>13620623

I love my Timex but why can't I find one in black? I just want a black one, I already have two silvers and a gold, but its like they never made it in black. Shit sucks

Is the turtle/samurai worth the additional 100-150 more or should I just get an skx?

>>13620701
Its more than worth it. Only the superior movement and lume would be already.

>>13620693
I'll buy it from you. How much do you want

Broke flex

>>13620691
SHHEEEEEYYYY-DUUUURRRRRRRRRR

>>13620693
Probably only worth melt value.

>>13620695
The fuck?
They have made black ones

>>13620719
you prop don't want my Grandpas Ingravings "Alfred Bichelmann"

>>13620745
how much would you guess is the gold worth atm? I don't plan on selling it right now anyways, just was curios what you guys think this shit is worth.

>>13620776
how is your shitters timekeeping accuratcy? My 7s36 does -7 to -11sek a day

>13620777
It don't know the weight of your stuff or value of gold right now. But I've purchased gold in the past. At 18k gold, your grandpa was legit. The chain alone is probably $500 and the watch is probably another $500. I'm guessing around $1,000, probably even more. Very rough estimate.

>>13620800
thanks for your guess anyways. It's about 100g in total, but I guess without nongold watchparty its around 70-80g.

>>13620823
It's worth about $2,300

I hate Seikos so fucking much.

>>13620895
>What kind of watch you want?
>Hit me with that generic mall clock look senpai

Already took this fucker apart today. I checked the quartz crystal with a multimeter while it was still together, and indeed this isn't a 32kHz crystal, but a 16kHz.

Also it uses this weird early method for regulation, where you have to stick different capacitors into the different holes. I'll have to read up on how that works, but originally you had to order the caps separately from Seiko.

>>13620911
Other angle, quite a tasteful movement. I read up a bit on it, and after very limited production run of the 35 Quartz Astron (100 watches), 35SQW (1800) and 36 (1000 pieces) movements, this 38 series in 1971 is when Seiko first started dipping their toes into real quartz mass-production. Mine is from 1973, so it isn't that crazy early.

>>13620918
dope

>>13620918
This is the only part that I found to be broken so far, one tooth on the setting-lever gear is gone, most likely because the cannon-pinion is pretty much seized. The watch would be fully functional still, but I already found a replacement part at a reasonable price that I'm going to order.

>>13620923
Also I have no idea if this blue wire is a factory part, or was later added by a crafty watchmaker at some time, as a repair of something. Looks pretty ghetto, but it's luckily obscured on the complete movement.

>>13620927
And finally here's how the entire watch looks. Just another plain 70's Seiko, but I got it for the movement anyway.

The aftermarket Maruman bracelet is pretty nice though.

>>13620852
That is kinda nice and even more than I expected. Maybe some day this will turn into a great watch or knife.

>>13620911
>>13620918
>>13620923
>>13620931

Yea that wire looks ghetto but the movement itself seems to be pretty clean for it's age. Are you going to sell the watch after you repaired it?

>>13620942
No, I'm gonna keep it, and probably sell my more basic Penis watches. Problem is I don't know which ones, since all of them are kinda nice.

>>13620942
Also found a picture of a 3803. The blue wire is there too. What an odd way to design it. Maybe they figured out late that the previous solution wouldn't work for some reason, but there was no time for a complete redesign, so they just went with soldering in a wire?

At least it's repairable, if something happens to the wire, you can solder it out and put any electrical wire in its place.

14270 or 114270 and why?
Not sure, the endlinks on the 114270 are what make me gravitate towards it. Apparently the movement can take more of a beating as well. Regarding price the 114270 looks like the better deal?!

Halp.

>>13620957
114270, it's just an improved 14270.

>>13620946
All these platinas look awesome. I think the blue on the right is the least beatifull. You just got me to like quartz watches a little more.


>>13620955
Seems like you are right, I can't imagine they designed this movement like this in the first place. Got to be some late factoring issue or something.

>>13620931

>>13620825
>1-2-3-4-5-9
>7-8-9-10-11

>>13620996
The actual crystal is 33, and the edge of the rotating bezel is 41mm, the 44mm cushion case is very low and close to the skin, so it really just wears like any other 41/42mm watch imo

This is wearing on a 6.75inch wrist, as you can see it's just a little too big. I think a 7 inch wrist can get away with it.

>>13620911
Yep, Girard Perregaux had the first modern 32khz stepper motor quartz (which was also used by other manufacturers, like in jlc's masterquartz). The replaceable capacitor regulation wasn't unique at the time, sadly - I think it was maybe longines that did something similar?

>>13621032
Yeah, Longines with their messy Ultra-Quartz movements.

>>13620895
the watch that's so cheap that it costs more to ship than to make

for me, it's the Solar Tuna

What were clocks and watches synchronized to back in the day, before radio and telegraph? Or was the timing of technologies such that railway, radio, telegraph, and timepieces came together around the same time?

I can only imagine people would synchronize their pocket watches to the train station, trains would synchronize from a master station that wasn't so far away that watches would go out of time, and... where did the master station synchronize from?

>>13621408
The master station was synchronized based on the speed of the chirping of crickets near London England for a 30 second period. That would then be multiplied by 16 to convert the time to a 24 hour format.

>>13621419

>>13621408
Depends how far back in the day. Before telegraph the master source of time would be observatories. For example, when ships had to synchronize their chronometers at London, they would watch a big pole at the observatory. At exactly the top of the hour, a large sphere would drop down the pole.

>>13621408
>where did the master station synchronize from?
Noon, dummy.

But little care was given to be precise, what need do you have to know what time it is X number of miles away if you don't have radio or telegraph? It wasn't that long ago that England basically had multiple timezones due to how hard it is to synchronise shit like this.

>>13621429
>what need do you have to know what time it is X number of miles away if you don't have radio or telegraph?

Jumping off this, everyone should own an atomic watch/clock for a master reference.

Pic related mine. Solar atomic G shock

>>13621448
You should own one of these as a master reference

>>13621448
I'm new to watches, what's the difference between atomic and radio types?

>>13621457
unless you're talking about the very small number of watches with actual atomic clocks, atomic/radio are the same, they sync to radio waves broadcast from laboratories with atomic clocks.

The alternative is a GPS watch, which gets its time signal from GPS satellites, rather than earth-based radio. They work anywhere in the world, not just in range of the 5 atomic radio stations.

>>13621457
Basically the same thing

The radio types dictate how many frequency bands you can hear in a given region, weather it be 5 or 6 which is the most common.
Like with any radio you have to have a good enough signal for reception, so you have to live near enough to a tower to get the signal.
Atomic means there's a radio recover in the watch to pick up the signal from the nearest tower to an atomic clock, which is an extremely accurate time keeping machine that every other time keeping device is measured off of.

In the US it's typically the atomic clock in Fort Collins Colorado.

/wt noob here. Will start working soon in a pretty formal environment. Want to buy a decent - but affordable (still my first job) - watch to go with the suit but I have no idea where to start.

>>13621149
the sub date is 100% fake. the bezel is awful, look how jacked up the pearl is. it's also a maxicase which with a non-maxi dial, lume plots misaligned, etc.

the lange looks like SS on a model that is only in PM, and it looks like shit SS as well. similar with the patek - looks like cheap AF SS.

the picture quality is bad enough it's hard to judge the shit out of focus, but the bezels on the daytonas look very wrong as well.

it's an impressive collection of fakes

>>13621500
Yep, forgot about that, sorry. I was thinking of a 200/400€ range. Can't go much further than this.
Will I look like a tool if I just go for a seiko 5?

>>13621527
>Will I look like a tool if I just go for a seiko 5?
If you get a field model like the SNK then yes, but there are some that are less loud that could be fine - check out seiko 5 finder. Tissot visodate/le locle is the general watch people get when they want to have muh swiss mechanical in a business setting but don't really actually have any money yet. I can't really recommend them from a technical basis. You can stretch to a Hamilton Intramatic with a 2892 movement, which is probably the best mechanical movement available at that price point.

>>13621541
Thanks a lot! Will have a look at all of them. Also, speaking of Seiko, what about something on the likes of a SNZF15K1 or 17?

>>13621511
Will check this out as well

>>13621505
I already own one, but I can't feel like wearing it every single day at work. I agree that it doesn't look bad on a suit tho

For my next tax return I am thinking pic related, I love most things about it except for a few quirks. One the bezel, I would prefer it has the Explorer I bezel. Two the indices need more illumination, same for the hands. Another thing I worry about is people are going to see it as the poorfag Rolex.

An alternative is the Explorer I 214270 2017 edition, but I am not a fan of the Submariner hands. Plus the matte gray dial makes it more of a tool watch than a dress watch. I do prefer the clasp and bezel from the Explorer I.

should i do it lads? it'd be my first watch for '/fa/ purposes $120

>>13621613
I thought about this watch for a long time, ended up deciding on the submariner 14060m (haven't bought it yet). I didn't like the color of the blue or dark rhodium dials when I saw them in person. An the new black dial was too plain when I saw that in person. I recommend trying it on in person, there are plenty in ADs.

>An alternative is the Explorer I 214270 2017 edition, but I am not a fan of the Submariner hands.
Agreed, between the Explorer and Oyster Perpetual, I much prefer the hands on the OP.

>>13621710
best dial is grape anyways
>>13621613
its a very nice watch, my favorite rolex because its simple and well made for an honest price. no such thing as poorfag rolex

I'm looking to buy my first Swiss diver with a budget of $2500 USD. Any recommendations? Preferably under 42mm.

It's a gift so I would rather spend the entire budget.

Also, i've been looking at the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5. Would this be a mistake?

Thanks

>>13621761
If you can stretch the budget, get a black bay 58.

>>13621764
Unfortunately $2500 is already stretched

>is the aqua racer calibre 5 an exception?
No.

It's watch/clockmaker tradition to use IIII rather than IV as it balances the dial.

Also the Romans used IIII & IV interchangeably, the Colosseum uses IIII on the exits for example.

Imagine spending $400 on something shit like this.

>>13622078
It's acceptable as far as very inexpensive watches goes. But I think you should go for something more. I think you need a better watch than that. You should go a few hundred bucks up in your budget.

I'd really rather not spend too much money on a watch right now though. If it is as you guys say should I just go for something simple like the Timex one in the OP? Or is that just a meme?

I'm not very knowledgeable in watches, my dad has a Tissot that he bought for a couple grand and I can't for the life of me figure out why it's worth that much. Is there any guide on how one should evaluate a watch in a glance?

>>13622120
The Bambino is a nice watch, I would say it looks a lot more expensive than it is.

>>13622120
> Case material
Precious metals cases, most obviously, contribute to the value of a watch
> Movement
The quality of a movement is dictated by the care with which it was made, the materials that were used, the finishing that was applied, etc. Movements with complications will generally be worth more.
> External finishing
The degree of finish on the parts of the watch you can see. Are the indices applied or printed? Does the dial have guilloche or patterns? The case, the bracelet, the hands all go into this as well.
> Rarity
Rarity does not in itself make a watch valuable - the hundreds of "limited edition" microbrands are not more valuable for having been limited. That said, rarity of a particularly significant watch can make it more valuable.
> Marketing
This doesn't drive the value of a watch, but it can drive the price.

>>13622120
Why don't you just spend more money on a watch and not be a silly person? You CAN spend 300-600 on a watch. And you should.

>>13622111
That does look nice. I'm more of a fan of brown leather though, and with the watch already as expensive as it is I'd rather not spend more on another strap.

>>13622120
get the seiko snk809 like i posted here. there are more photos from other anons in this thread as well. Its a very affordable watch and it looks decent.
>>13622123

Ok, I don't know whether he is being called that or not. I made the knife and pants improvement on that grid, but I did that basing them on his actual attire from his pics, so I think the boots kind of ruin the fun of that grid because it's only speculative like you say. I asked him about his boots once, but he didn't want to say. Don't think he appreciate it, honestly.

do you like my watch guys? I saved for it by writing other peoples essays through highschool and college

couldn't imagine a better 18th birthday present

>>13622286
I could.
By not buying the pepsi version.

That's a Vostok SE020 with a Murphy bezel, yobokies pepsi bezel insert, and Borealis natural rubber dive strap.

Wore my Seiko on the bus to the job centre to pick up my dole today.

Seiko 5 if you want an auto
If quartz is okay for you consider the Casio MTP Series

Thoughts on led watches?

No, I wear a suit every day to my job where I make huge amounts of cash.

It was a gift from my boss

Whoever was looking for a good price on a pulsometer 5s21, there's one up now on eBay.

>>13622685
Aren't these unserviceable because of the viscous fluid

>>13622691
Yeah I guess, if the viscous fluid module breaks. But they are jeweled and are otherwise serviceable.

>>13622541
fucking disgusting holy shit

Bracelets for working out are dumb af.

I think they are fun and the only quartz watches I actually like.

Do you have one?
Post it if you do

>>13622733
Please don't reply to thoughts on poster

>>13622409
Casio MTP, it's plated brass but it does the job. They're under your budget too at around £30.

>>13622034
Fuck you. I am jealous.

>>13622746
Why?

thanks a lot!
sadly the seller is not shipping to my country, other wise I would have bought it instantly.

Ah too bad

if those would laugh at me id feel good desu, theyre uglier than the disease you call a watch.

>>13622240

You got some feedback on your style my friend


>>13621880
I can almost tell the look that you're trying to go for, you're just not quite there yet.

If you're into plaid, stick to straight up flannel, LL bean has the good shit. Get a slightly darker color pair of jeans, and get nicer boots. The watch and the knife are pretty nice.

Also a tip, if you're going for an Americana look, never wear it all at once. The whole point of fashion is to take inspiration from certain aesthetics, and make it your own thing. I just don't want you out there walking around like a 2013 meme.

>>13622640

>>13622682
that still doesnt explain why you have the arms of a middle aged man
seriously nigga get some lotion

>tfw there are people who actually own and wear a Quartz Astron
REEEEEE give me my swissocaust machine!

>>13622975
Not many. I believe even the Seiko museum doesn't have a working 35SQ

>>13622975
werent these quite unreliable?

>>13621886
>next coop
I buy and sell watches constantly. But the next big target is a sinn 556i.
>>13621895
(You)

>>13622978
>>13622979
Well I know of this video by Epson, and it shows a working 35SQ, so Seiko does have at least one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEjMD60BPTc

In total about a hundred were made, and who knows how many are working, or even how many is even proven to still exist.

>>13622979
Most of them are kill. And it's literally impossible to buy one.

>>13622978
lmao thats gotta be bullshit

the swiss even have one, pic related

>>13623026
fucking brainlets couldnt find a properly sized strap on that timepiece.

opinions?

>>13623029
Incredible value

>>13623029
Mallcore/10

>>13623029
Hi dad

>>13623029
a solid timepiece

>>13623026
It looks weird. Is it a mock-up?

Is Lorus any good? They don't pretend to be anything other than a quartz shitter brand if you look at the price.

>>13622995
I realy like dat watch! My Sinn is propably my most favorit watch >>13622034 hope you will get your piece soon.
Are you going for metal bracelet or strap?

>>13623243
This >>13622750 is me

I would prefer it with strap related, but I am most likely going to hunt a mint condition used one and worry about the straps/bracelet later.
But not even really sold on the 556i yet, I mean if I could get a 656 or a limited edition 556/656 I would get that instead. Will see around october (my birthday).
There are two thing certain for now:
1. I might get it a lot sooner than as I expected.
2. I got an insanely good deal on a 656, but I could only get in november.

>>13623260
>pic related
>no picture

Since I cant ever afford an Overseas I might as well settle for this

>>13623274
Could also get an oysterquartz.

>>13620731
i hate how the skx doesnt have applied indices. looks so cheap everytime

>>13623262
I'm buying the black mother of pearl with the jubilee bracelet for Christmas.

Is the seiko SARB line still worth purchasing? The prices are rising I asuume because it was discontinued. You used to be able to find one for $300

>>13623291
Thanks for telling me, I won't buy a MOP than.

>>13623312
I Googled different types of 556 the mop seems the most rare though.

>>13623260
the 656 looks very much like my modded seiko.
I think the Aniversary 556 looks awesome! But I also love the complete black background dial, idk wich one I would prefer more If I'd to choose.

also the datewindow of 656 is a little odd but I am liking the exact thing on my mod so I can't tell exactly why I think so

>>13623333
Plus they won't ship them to the US because there are sanctions on animal products.

>>13623333
what are the
>m-30
>beams
>weiss
just to name a few.

>>13623333
because it is also not very pretty IMO
Sinn is not that much of a Investment brand to buy pieces like that since they prop don't rise that much in value I guess.

>>13623340
The black mop looks mostly black until you look at it from the right angle.

>>13623347

>>13623347
okay that is kinda nice, maybe I was a little fast with my conclusion.
If you get one show us and give a review.

I wish I had money.

伊勢丹 (isetan) edition

the Sinn 1800 S Damaszener aka "another fucking rare sinn"

a friend of mine just cooped this.
It's a board clock from a Phantom F4 jet.

what do you think?

the Sinn 556 silver aka the "we cartier now" edition

>>13623401
That's sick, I wish I could put that on a nato and wear it.

the Sinn 556.BR aka the "ogre in the swamp" edition

>>13623396
fucking beautifull
would fit my favorit knifes

>>13623403
also great

what about this one?
6200 Meisterbund I

or what about nomos colour style?

>>13623415
Not rare enough, but it looks nice in the catalogue.

Fuck off. Buy a 556 instead.

What could be more cliche than a Rolex? Tudor is the same but different. I'm more of an IWC fan anyways

>>13623484
> I'd rather pay thousands of dollars for a literal Sellita movement in a big shiny case than the same amount for a 3xxx Rolex caliber
yikes

>>13623497
GMT or Oyster are the only ones that somewhat interest me

>>13620623

Got these as gifts from my dad. Have no idea about them but any info would be helpful

>>13623721
if you want infos than post a picture that is not blured and bad lighted, can't read shit.

>>13623736
Is this better? Sorry for my shitty android camera..

>>13623780
Nothing there particularly valuable or noteworthy.

>>13623785
I didn't think so.. I don't care much for the armitron but I like the Swiss military style ones even though the faces are chipped..

>>13623780
>>13623801

Is the middle swiss watch a victorinos? Than it may be some good piece but otherwise they propably are not that good.

new armitron watches are 50-100$ so that one is clearly shit

>>13623780
I think the two top ones are Wenger Brand. Swiss made. They are pretty good nothing fancy. I particularly like the day date one. I'd change that to a strap. looks handsome.

>>13623843
we>>13623874
The day date one is a Wenger. The middle one is a victorinox. I just like the way they look. They both need new batteries and replacement faces. That is a good idea about the strap that would look good.

>>13623921
victorinos is a good brand wich made a few watches I quite like. If you realy like it you could get a new crystal and be propably be happy with it for a while.

I have this watch

>>13620628
Tudor is gross

>>13624065
I'm very sorry.
