Post pics of this on a nato

>>13637545
I don't know why but this one is harder to get the strap off of than my other f91s, I will try with a precision screwdriver this weekend. i can't do it here at the office with a paperclip

>>13637504
Rate my watch collection /wt/ and post yours

How much would it cost to send some Chinese manufacturing company a plastic f91w case and ask them for the same thing just in stainless.

They make fucktons of cheap low production run parts over there, if you just wanted 10 of them could they do it for $10~ each?

It seems like being able to send them a destroyable exact dimension sample of exactly what you want and not having any real stress or industrial requirements for the finished product would make it super cheap and easy for them right?

Newest hummer, using the Bulova accutron 218 movement that citizen licensed from Bulova (and actually started making parts for Bulova for these movements). One more tuning fork movement down, 3 (or so) to go.

>>13637618
It looks kinda like mine, only day-date.

>>13637583
All plastic cases. 1/10

HAs SBPG001-bro posted a full collection yet?

>>13637618
I'd assumed it was a faceted crystal but it's not, it's a flat, stepped acrylic. The date quickset (sadly no day quickset) is fun - you turn the crown while it's fully pushed in. Running +15spd currently; hopefully that's consistent and can just be regulated away.

>>13637583
Huge fan of casio aq series. Got a few of their older an newer ones in the mail.

Including one of my favorites.

Also have a seiko jdm sary automatic and various g shocks.

Interested in buying a seiko diver

is this better than rolex

>>13637670
I prefer seiko.

If I could afford a rolex I'd buy two grand seiko watches instead

>>13637651
That's cool man
Post a collection pic?

>>13637661
I don't know how you people can acept that logo when ChrWard gets so much shit.
This is literally block capitals Ariel ORIS

>>13637670
It's literally a better watch than a submariner in every way, better finished, far far more accurate, needs less service etc

does not say rolex on it tho

>>13637684

>>13637715
fucking word brother

>>13637683

Missing a few. These are the two I have with me (I have the g shock shown before but not pictured here)

Seiko is the jdm. Citizen I got from my parents on my 18th. Never wear the citizen, but im going to get the original steel bracelet replaced on it.

I'll post below the two other g shocks I have.

(Also have an f91 w but who cares. )

>>13637717
Here is my model of the g shock gravity master.

I keep this in my locker at work.

>>13637722
And a cheap g shock I keep in my baseball bag. If it gets hit it probably won't break and if it does I don't give a shit.

I live in Quebec, in old quebec city. Very nice there. Closest thing to europe in north America. Look up some pictures!

I like the simple chain, i dont like to be flashy, have you any reccomendations?

>>13637774

>>13637665
Very nice. What's your wrist size?
i'd like to cop one, but for the price some details (stamped clasp, bracelet) seem not so good.
What's your impression?

>>13637781
I think a bronze chain or a leather string would suit that better than the current
maybe could go with gold even

>>13637777
Sick quads, f94 proved for being the best watch

>>13637641
Here is an old collection pic, but it's missing my Vostok SE020, my Vostok 960761, and I sold that Seikomatic-P to Movement-Collector-Anon and bought his King Seiko 45-7001.

>>13637647
That's a really neat piece.

>>13637670
It has better external finishing, is probably more shock resistant, is definitely more accurate, but the design doesn't have the classical beauty of the sub, and it isn't mechanically regulated.

It's a well made watch, but I personally would go for a pre-maxicase Sub over it.

>>13637823
> impressed by quads and likes a cheap piece of shit Casio
Are you 12?

>>13637829
Not bad anon. I’d trim the fat though.

>>13637785
that pic isnt me but I have a shogun. i wear the Ti bracelet. I love it mainly because its light and comfortable. I love the look of the watch, its not too big, it doesnt have a lot of space between the dial and the crystal like the SKX. My main gripe with the watch is that its

>not sapphire
and
>6r15 is not accurate at all

other than than, 8/10 wear it every day its my only watch

I tried on a Nixon Rerun. Legit nice and the size is perfect. If it was £20 cheaper I’d be tempted. It’s £100 in uk.

This seems like a really good deal.
Why are some >$1000 and some aren’t when they look the same?

>>13637932
I could afford that but it's a fucking terrible watch so I'd never buy it. There are much much better watches in that price range.

How much would Rolex charge for a repair for an Oysterquartz??

>>13637924
It's supposed to look like a quartz crystal.

>>13637923
It depends a bit on the caliber and case but that's generally right. Grand should go for about half that, king for half again, and lower-tier would be cheaper.

>>13637924
>>13637947
Other manufacturers did similar things, although their interpretation of a quartz crystal was less phallic.

I am looking for a titanium watch and I like the Diashield coating.
I have 16.5-17.5cm wrists, would it be too big?

Also, no screw links, diver extension is not the best (ratchet).
Still unsure about the Monster hour hand. i don't think it fits the style of the watch.
But I would cop, for the right price.

>>13637940
"A lot" I'm guessing. That is if they'll service it at all.

>>13637963
>What they call a Full Stack Developer these days.
What does that really mean though. There are so many people who are so expert at every little part of setting things up and development that is kind of like saying "I am a full car developer" when really it's better to have a team of guys who work on designing the engine, a team of guys who work on the chemistry of the paint, a team of guys who work on the design of the body of the car and a team who know how to build a good tire.

Thinking any one person could be expert enough to be great at all those parts is silly

>>13637962
not sure, my wrist is 7.5in
a lot of people swap out the monster hands and putting a sapphire crystal, but I dont like modding watches

I got mine for $700 used on ebay. has good resale value clearly, new ones go for $900. diashield is good but mine has a few scuffs

>buying a watch
>actually spending money on a WRIST WATCH
>going out of your way to spend money and your time on a watch

>>13637940
I have no clue anon, but you might want to be careful there any watch being sold for parts on ebay is likely to be a basket case. Especially a movement like the ones in the oysterquartz. Your best bet would probably be a good independent watchmaker if you can find one.

What are some interesting divers? Something a bit quirky or vintage?
I love the Seamaster 300 Spectre and the Rado Captain Cook. Any more I should check out?

A FSD in modern parlance means a developer who knows more than just how to write code. They know at least some DBA and Sysadmin skills. They are supposed to be about to design and build a full environment. It reality not many can.

Personally I know about Layer 2 though to Layer 7 at expert level. There's almost no Internet related technology I don't know. I'm lucky in the jobs I've had to get the experience and my current startup has done well.

>>13637963
and you can afford to throw down a quarter mil on a watch?

lets say you really love watches and throw down 20% of your income on a watch. that means you make $1,250,000 a year? just from being a dev? I dont buy this LARP

>>13637982

he has OK taste, better than average.

My guess is he is a busy fucker and does not spend 10 hours a week looking at watch photos, for someone who I assume just buys what he think looks good I would say his taste is good. He does not have anything amazing or like I would have if I were a world leader playing on the stage of international politics and could order a bespoke piece from any of the best watchmakers on earth to show off

>>13638053
do you hodl any crypto

>>13638060

No. I could have got into crypto early but it was never my thing. I understand the technology and maths too well so understand it's worthless.

However I also forgot the business cliché - any item is worth whatever people are willing to pay for it.

>>13638088
worthless in what sense? that it offers no utility? how does triple ledger accounting have no utility?

This is /fa/ now and not /g/ anymore. GShock's aren't fashion items. They are just a rugged and durable tool for rough environments.

Here's the guts of a Derby Swissonic watch. These were transistorized electric watches that featured full jumping minutes.

>>13639092
The case was quite tall due to the vertically-oriented balance. Like all transistorized electronic watches, the timekeeping was still done by a hairspring. However, since the watch was powered by a battery rather than by a mainspring, there was no concern around isochronism, which often allows electronic watches from the period to be adjusted to quite impressive tolerances. In this watch the vertical orientation of the balance does change the effective positions that are most important to how the watch keeps time on the wrist.

>>13639101
transistorized electric watches were very popular in the 60s as a transitional electric watch. It was easy for watch manufacturers to retrofit their existing movements to be electric; often just the balance and escapement had to be altered. This is a 36k bph Citizen Cosmotron electronic watch.

>>13639106
You can see the magnet that was part of the balance in both that webm and, to some extent, this webm of a 43,200bph cosmotron 5800. The 5800 was primarily used in ladies watches and was at the time (and for a long while after) the fastest-beating commercially released hairspring-regulated watch. One thing to note though is that the escapement used in these watches is fairly different from that used in traditional hairspring watches. Instead of the mainspring driving the geartrain and the escapement stopping it, in these the escapement pushes the geartrain forward - in some ways, it has more in common with the escapement design (index wheel and pawl) of an accutron tuning fork watch. As a result, the geartrain is not under constant load the way it is in a traditional mechanical watch, and so wears much less quickly, which is also a factor in allowing the much higher beat rates. The different escapement design in the cosmotrons also means that the second hand only advances once per complete oscillation of the balance, so from the front the watch looks like a 21,600bph watch in terms of how smoothly the second hand advances.

I just bought pic related as my everyday watch. This is good, right?

Hey, that blue red and yellow g-shock is the first time I thought one of those watches didn't look like a complete clusterfuck. What kind of features does it have?

>>13639056
Lots of those replica shops are scams. I wouldn't risk giving them your credit card info. If you want to buy a replica online I recommend looking into a forum that specifically deals with replicas. They have refutable dealers.

>>13639244
I care, because he's the reason we aren't on /g/ right now. If he's gone then we should go back.

I have a nixon that lasted for 5 years, and now I am looking for a daily/beater watch to replace it. Any tips?

>>13639329
World Time, 5 alarms, Countdown timer that you get to immediately with the button on the left. The little sub dial is used for the countdown timer so you can just be on normal time while its going, when its done an alarm will sound. All time setting you can use the crown for. Other minor things like 24hr time or whatever.

It's a GA400 which there is a bunch of.
That model superficially is GA-400CM-1A
you can get it for 96 on ebay which is where I bought it. I think it came out in june or july, it's meant to be part of their rasta series despite the fact they used a pale blue instead of green.

true dat, also ordert 2209. Good choice I guess

If you guys had to pick one of these, black?

>>13639552
or green? a black submariner is obviously extremely versatile , but green is always tempting and people always want green when it comes to homages. Green is on preorder, black is available

>>13639555
the green outside of product images will most likely have the same tone as their past green watches

Unusual to see such long lugs on a vintage watch.

Where do you search for dials of vintage watches? This GUB would be perfect if it wasn't for damaged dial. Also I have to get a new plexi but I guess that will be easy.

i got a fake one, it's just as good

I'm not a huge watch nerd or anything but I personally love my Timex, I wear it everyday even though I have a diamond Armitron

>>13640119
is it with the red wing leather?

>>13640117
If you're happy with it then good for you! it's the better deal purely economically.

Personally I couldn't stand to have something fake on me, I would feel like a classless phony and would have to lie to people that ask about it, otherwise out myself as a fake person

>>13640125
>Personally I couldn't stand to have something fake on me, I would feel like a classless phony and would have to lie to people that ask about it, otherwise out myself as a fake person
it's a tudor and I don't live in NY or California or any other big city full of people who care about brands

i will never run into anyone in my daily life who knows what tudor is or will think anything of me wearing it as a brand or ask about it, i just like the way the watch looks and don't feel like paying $5000 for a watch when I can have an ETA fake for $200 that is just as good in all daily situations

>>13640125
I went through a phase where I wore a fake Rolex Submariner and felt like such a loser. So many great brands for way cheaper. Not to say I don't love a Rolex though.

>>13639153
Respond to me please.

>>13640124
No just brown leather but it looks similar to red wing, just a bit lighter, I wish it were though

>>13640144
Same, briefly owned a fake watch and just felt pathetic. Got rid of it, got a solid watch in my price budget and wore it with pride.

Never going back to replica anything, either earn it or opt for something else that's cool in its own right.

>>13640137
if you and nobody around you cares about tudor then why get a fake of one? why not get something else tried and tested, proven performance and it's own original style? there's gotta be a reason you had to go straight for a 1:1 copy of a specific watch over something similar and in your budget...

>>13640200
I have a fake because I love the aesthetic of the watch but I'm not a fucking mug who will give the mountain jews £6,000.
IT's stainless steel, got a sapphire lens, it's 3s/d and looks fuckin boss. Literally nobody has ever noticed or commented.
I do dress accordingly though and do own a genuine Seamaster as well.

>>13640200
>if you and nobody around you cares about tudor then why get a fake of one?
because i like the way that watch looks but i don't want to pay $5000 for it

do you want me to explain using smaller words?

>>13640200
>if you and nobody around you cares about tudor then why get a fake of one?
very few people you ever meet are going to be impressed or know what the fuck a tudor diver is

>>13640202
so because you like something its your right to have something with that copyrighted design and fund organized crime?

is it just a coincidence you like the design of a watch that happens to be $4000? or maybe is it because the watch is $4000 you covet something that looks like it is also worth $4000?

I wouldn't trust a replica dive watch with a dip in the pool

how much did you pay for this anyway?

TGV please leave

>>13640211
> so because you like something its your right to have something with that copyrighted design and fund organized crime?
Yes.

> is it just a coincidence you like the design of a watch that happens to be $4000? or maybe is it because the watch is $4000 you covet something that looks like it is also worth $4000?
Not coincidence. More expensive watches look nicer than cheap watches. Fakes are very good value for quality:price.

> I wouldn't trust a replica dive watch with a dip in the pool
Me Neither. I don't swim in any watch except for my G Shock.

> how much did you pay for this anyway?
Around £270. A legitimate £270 watch wouldn't come close in quality or looks.

>>13640211
>is it just a coincidence you like the design of a watch that happens to be $4000? or maybe is it because the watch is $4000 you covet something that looks like it is also worth $4000?
are you fucking retarded?

do you not understand that nobody outside of watch autists (mainly nerdy males) would ever in a million years look at a stainless tudor diver and think "$4000 luxury"

people know what BMW is, they know what apple is, they don't know tudor divers

>>13639823
Seriously wtf. How the hell did you get that limited edition?! They all sold out online in about an hour.

>>13640243
£270 for a fake holy shit, no class, no prestige, no servicing, no resale value.

For a little more you could've gotten a seiko samurai which i guarantee would run circles around your fake tudor, or a steinhart ocean one which, although it is a kinda gross submariner ripoff, is genuine.

>>13639950
Pics of the escapement on this "replica" movement please, so I can laugh at it.

>>13640254
lol
You can service and sell replicas.
Fuck Steinhart, fuck Seiko. They look like garbage.

>>13640266
theoretically yes, but the person fixing watch will be trying his best not to laugh in your face.

Seiko is great value for money and they have a wide range of original styles, steinhart is unoriginal but at least they build their watches properly. I don't know how steinhart can be considered to look like garbage when they make the most iconic watch ever except with their own name on it.

>>13640250
>people know what BMW is, they know what apple is, they don't know tudor divers

My PenisQuartz stopped again. It was stopping regularly so I changed the battery and bent the battery contact to give more contact and it's run for 5 days without stopping and then it stops at 9 this morning and I hadn't touched it for like 12 hours prior.

How many ones and zeroes do you think is in this watch?

>>13640419
6 in total, actually

>>13640419
That's binary, not digital. Literally the time is displayed as 'digits'

>>13640419

Do you think digital and binary are the same thing?

>>13640420
I got 8...

>>13640424

In fairness, when you're talking about signals, you use digital to mean binary.
Do you call this digital?

15 actually if you include the front dial.

>>13639101

>>13640443
You know before digital radio and TV there was analogue? You know there are some sensors that give digital output and some that give analogue 4-20mA?

>>13640441
You're saying that this >>13640433 Nixon is the same as a G Shock 5600?
That's dumb.

>>13640479
>You know before digital radio and TV there was analogue? You know there are some sensors that give digital output and some that give analogue 4-20mA?
Yeah, that's why watches that display the time digitally are analog!

>>13640483
I'm saying the zeitwerk is digital. Follow the reply chain, it's not hard. That said the time is displayed digitally on that watch, even if it's just two discs with the digits on them.

What a thoroughly retarded discussion.

Loving the Grand Seiko love. I'll want a Rolex some day too I'm sure but for now I'm very content with my Grand Seikos.

This thread is about the appreciation of horology and the design, micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a functioning watch, clock, hourglass, or other timepiece.

Are you saying this is a digital watch because it has digits on it?

A digital watch is one where the time is indicated by displayed digits that jump, not one where you read the time based off an analog scale which is indexed by digits.

The time in your pic is read by the hands, which makes it analog. If there are no hands and the time is displayed as digits, then it's digital. This is really not a hard concept m8.

>>13637939

Agree. I love watches and I own a few expensive ones but I have my own limits. Unless you are a millionaire, I cant justify spending 100's of thousands on a watch, it's just not in my personality. That money could be spent so much more practically, more usefully, or even on a multitude of awesome watches. Law of diminishing returns. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be in this position.

>>13640516
No I’m not

>>13640509
>hi beat

>>13640518

So true, this watch is chunk as fuck and I would have never thought to own it until I wore it. Then I kind of realized that the way they designed this watch, this size was the result of the effect they wanted. Do you know what I mean? Like it really fucking works. Sure, some days I think it's huge, but most days I love the way it wears (truthfully, it only really works if you aren't like a twig wrist).

But I agree, I love the design and presence so much, if it was scaled down like even 10-20%, it would be bang on my perfect GS diver (not that it isn't already)

>>13640529

The time on the Nixon is also read by a hand. The fact that on the Nixon a dial rotates under a fixed hand rather than a hand rotating over a fixed dial doesn't change that.
