>>13640609
a wristwatch is basically the only piece of acceptable jewelry for a straight man besides a wedding ring

it is also the most functional fashion assessory (just about) a person can wear and if you lurk these threads you will see that there is very little correlation between what people will like here and compliment in this general and cost

>>13640618
People know i dont. And i dont care, not even like money too much actually, because im not a jewish nor a pseudocalvinist burger.

Which is why these anons are plebs.

Started working on the Vadux on the left. Still not sure if I should replace the hands with something that's closer to what it probably originally was, as I don't think these are the original ones.

>>13640710
I like the hands that are used now.
If you get "new" ones which style would you go?

>>13640710
Movement is as it turns out the really fucking goofy Arogno 260. The most shocking thing about it is that since the mainspring click is on the dial side and not the usual top side, the ratchet wheel doesn't do anything, it's just there for decoration. Fucking hell.

>>13640726
There's the real ratchet wheel, next to the letter A, as part of the rocking arm of the keyless work. Farther away, above the 260 is the click, on the dial side. The ratchet wheel on the top side just goes nowhere, it's just there to make the movement look like it's more advanced that it really is! In an age when display casebacks didn't exist!

What is this lunacy?

>>13640721
I though blued, lumed pencil or baton as it would be more or less period-accurate and matching the general style of the watch. But maybe I should consider dauphine too.

Not sure how I'm going to do near-black superluminova though.

>>13640736
I think the watch will look best with the hand form that is used at the moment but I tend to love dat form above all.

Is this book any good?

>>13640769
I am certainly a fan.

>>13640825
how can anyone in good conscience wear one of these knowing its just a direct copy of a rolex
i mean holy shit its so embarrassing

>>13641117
jesus dude. sell all that garbage and just get one decent watch. that is beyond cringe

>>13641117
Never seen such ugly gshock. Is it ultra rare or something?

>>13641244
And now think about people wearing this

>>13641263

>>13641232
Sounds cool. Can you dump pics of your WIP?

>>13641266
i actually kind of like the sterile ones, it's like they are just showing off the design they like and not putting their brand on it or copying the rolex brand like a fake

>>13641270
Its always fustrating when companies rely on something they merely inherited to create money

>>13641273
yeah, i mean how do the sterile people make money? do they just know they are copying another watch and give no fucks besides making money off just selling the watch? I have seen one that had no marks on it of any kind, I looked it over because I wanted to buy one and even on the casebook i could not find enough markings to lead me to who made it to buy one

Hey lads, i'm having trouble maming a choice here as i want to make the correct one,
>want a watch
>cant decide between the options
>black dial/gold case
>black dial/rose gold case
>white dial/gold case
>off white dial/rose gold case
>brown leather for all options because no black shoes

I want something to be able to wear as an everyday watch, but can dress up for a night on the town, or for ceremonies. Whats the best choice here?

Have a 1963

Hey, so I saw this on here a few days ago, and thinking of switching from a Casio calculator watch to this.
Do you think this style is acceptable these days?

>>13641504
what complication? is it with a clean dial? For an everyday watch yellow gold with white dial works the best.
Black dials work very well with rose gold, imho, but they look very weird during the day. I saw and old man the other day wearing a Tissot Le locle in rose gold/black dial, and even the watch was really nice, it looked a little off with his blue jacket and white shirt.

Are 70s Penisquartz watches reliable?
If they break are they repairable?

>>13641674
Depends how they break. Many of them are jeweled, high quality movements. The weak point in my experience has been the day and date wheels, which can fatigue. Aside from that, and damage caused by leaking batteries, water damage, or other corrosion, I would expect them to be pretty reliable. The rate will drift over time - quartz watches have a poor long-term Allen deviation due to the way the crystal ages - although many 70s penis quartz models have user-aduustable rate trimmers.

>>13641246
>>13641259
>>13641143
>>13641139
So casio, vostok, and orient are hated now? you guys aren't going to like the rest of the shit I plan on buying either

>>13641701
Fuck I want a Superior. Feels bad buying something old and expensive that may not be repairable...
How does the rate trimmer work? Something electronic?

>>13641706
Why not buy one watch that isn’t going to plummet in value?
What a bunch of shitters. You’re pouring money down the drain buying that garbage.

>>13641706
Stop giving a fuck what people think about your watches. Chances are, those who like your collection didnt say anything.

>>13641710
Why the fuck would I care about plummeting value? These aren't luxury pieces. And that doesn't even make sense anyway because are always buying used gshocks, if they aren't in horrible condition I can get get of them pretty easily in a group or forum for not much of a hit. Unless it was discontinued, in that case I would make money. But it's retarded that it's even a concern for you, maybe if you were buying fashion watches

>>13641504
Rose gold is a meme and brown staps look bad on black watches.

>>13641707
> Something electronic
Well yes. I believe the trimmers are varcaps that change the properties of the LRC circuit the quartz crystal participates in to change the resonant frequency, though I'm not 100% sure. The twin quartz models have two trimmers, although trimming the auxillary crystal is supposedly pretty difficult to do right.

>>13640560
How is collecting watches a real hobby?
Any guy with a lot of money could just buy a bunch expensive watches and you would worship him

>>13641741
It’s not a hobby unless you are studying the history and technology of watches or repairing/refurbishing them.
Maybe if you were collecting rare watches with a theme...

>>13641741
no. look at kevin hart's collection.

>>13641741
Its collecting anything a hobby? Also... who cares if its a hobby or not?

>>13641741
Collecting interesting stuff in general counts as a hobby; in this one in particular imho it's much more interesting learning watchmaking and its history than just hoarding luxury goods

>>13641710
Your (not just you but mainly all burgers) obsesion with money and resale value is quite disgusting. I hope you buy underwear you can resell for a profit in a couple years too. Dont lose you precious shekels...

>>13641741

It’s amazing how many people who are amateur photographers or cyclists who just worry about buying gear and don’t actually put the work in and go and shoot or cycle.
Watches are just the gearfaggotry without any actual creativity.

Rate my gearfaggotry without any actual creativity, guys.

>>13641760
If that was my collection, I’d go to a shooting range and eat a bullet.

>>13641760
I like it anon
It seems you know what you like and you only buy that, I can respect that.

Hey guys. I started a new job today and will finally be able to wear a watch to work. Its a workshop job but not too physical so a mechanical would be prefered

Budget under $700. What should I get???

Certainly not new too watches. Ive got a few vintage japanese and a datejust

All of those arent practical for the workshop. The japs being vintage and of skeptical shock resistance and the gold on the datejust makes it a no no

Was thinking maybe a turtle or a shogun

I could put together a collection that would not drive /wt/ to suicide for the same price

>>13641831
About $5000 i would say

>>13641886
I could put together a much better collection on a fifth of the cost of all these.

And then stopped at the brown because it was enough.

How's the bracelet on that new Mark II. I've thought about getting one for my Mark 4.5, though I'm sure the price would be eye watering.

>>13642110
Mine's an original (think the reference is 1159), but the bracelet is fantastic. I like old Omega and Rolex bracelets so much better than the new stuff- it's super comfy and doesn't weigh an absurd amount either.

>>13642117

It's an NDC Strap. It's a slightly different design to the more well known Erika's Originals version. While it's thicker than the EO design, I find it way more comfortable.

>>13642219

Nice, the OG one in that case. The EO one I have is one of the comfiest straps I've used, just needs the occasional wash as it gets sweaty in warm weather.

>everyone has nice watches and gfs except me

>>13642423 i just really like the f91w and i bought the silver one on a whim when i found it was hard to get, they don't sell it in the USA as far as I can tell and you have to buy them and get them shipped back to the USA from another country. I had to pay about $20 for mine.

I bu F91ws for fun. If I set up alerts to bid on them on ebay I can get them for about $7.50 each delivered. I buy them when I can get them super cheap and give them to friends, my friends know I am into watches so I wear my f91 on a nato a lot and tell everyone how Osama bin Laden and also President Obama used to wear one. Then I give them one as a present. I have 3 friends who wear one regularly now. One of them is literally a millionaire, my boss's son, ha. He could buy anything he wants but he wears my present f91w because he think's it's special since I gave it to him.

I'm a sucker for any Citizen, so not necessarily the most unbiased response, but I'd say totally acceptable. Eco-Drive seems like a cool function too, though I only have experience with regular Citizen quartz chrono's.

>>13642506
thanks! IMO you can wear a submariner all the time and tell people how cool it is, but even from a selfish perspective if you wear an f91 and tell people how cool it is, then if the person shows a little interest and you see them again and you say "I was thinking of you so I got you one" and give them one as a present they will think better of you for being nice than they will even if you have a $10,000 watch.

When I quit drinking I went to therapy and they taught me how to be nice to people IRL there, so I try to do that. I do it selfishly though so people will like me, I am not actually just by nature a nice person.

>>13641710

>>13642617
Good for you.
Post them, faggot.

Hi /wt/, I've never really browsed here before but I need some help. A few years ago somebody bought me a Seiko 5 with the black face as a present - I really like it, it's not too big (I have quite skinny wrists), I like the way it's mechanical, and not overly chunky (like some dive watches) or complicated (like pilot or flight watches or whatever). However, the strap - just a black nylon one - is a bit rubbish. The holes are getting ragged, and the end isn't smooth so catches on clothes and can fray cuffs of knitwear. It can also get a bit hot in the summer. So, I'm asking for recommendations - either for a decent medium brown leather strap, or a cloth strap, I think either black or an olive/khaki colour. Any good places to buy in the UK for these?

I really like the look of a chronograph but I'm sure as fuck that i won't ever use that feature.

I like having many needles and dials in my watch. What are some watches like that?

>>13641150

>>13642623
Why limit yourself? Buy 2-3 straps for yo watch, swap them around to fit the occasion

I can recommend Hirsch

>>13642636

>>13641814

>5.5k on ebay

wtf? is it limited edition?

Will this watch match my dark brown Indian skin?
Any silver/gold watches look so projected out on my dark brown skin.

Will this be a matching watch to my skin?

This is the disposable generation. No one buys for longevity and commitment anymore. I imagine these guys' worst nightmare is receiving a non rolex from a loved one. What worth does it have if not for resale value?

I'm of the opinion that you buy what you like and you keep it for as long as you want to. Don't fucking buy something with the sole intent of keeping value. Planning for selling it is just planning on selling it. BUT if you happen to want something that keeps good value, say like Rolex, then go for it. More power to you.

>>13642779
It has pretty nice reviews on Amazon
If it is a shitty replica I can always return it, right?
The movement should be Seagull, so still Chinese, but at least not made in a sweatshop

>>13642796

Is it true that the watch makes the man?

>>13643026
Yes

>>13641267
I’m really at the beginning of product design with my supplier, who can pretty much make anything, so I’m trying to get a sense of what different people like in vintage designs. Also wondering about the movement. For chronograph I could go with a cheaper Miyota to keep the price around 200ish or I could go for the better seiko VK63/VK64 for a 300ish price. I can literally make any design I just need to gauge interest as the minimum order quantity is 500 across up to 5 colorways

>>13643050

>>13642748
There’s a chinese homage to the nomos by the brand guanqin which seems to be good.

>>13642664
Watches above 300 are only that price because of branding. Not everyone wants to wear an expensive piece on their arm, especially since its pretty feminine to have to baby your watch cuz ur scared of damaging it. Better to wear a watch you are comfortable taking anywhere than to wear a Rolex because your so insecure of what people think of you

>>13643074
I just checked it out, but it's VERY cheap (50$). I don't trust mechanical watches at that price
The Feice is around 200$ on comparison

>>13643088
I’m pretty sure they use the same supplier but the guanqin is the factory brand and feice is buying them wholesale. Chinese supplier like to make 10-12 dollars LOP (profit per watch) on wholesale whereas retailers like to make 150ish dollars on a watch if they buy it for 5-20ish dollars. So guanqin is probably making only 25 profit per watch

Guys, I’m watching Jack Ryan atm.
Do I have to get this tiem piece?

>>13643082
>Watches above 300 are only that price because of branding.
No. Not unless you mean romain jerome, richard mille or something.

>>13643116
> Richard Mille is only above 300 because of marketing
Uh

>>13643156
They're overpriced footballer bait, if nothing else.

>>13643116
Absolutely yes. In the quartz crisis it became clear that Swiss watch assemblers and even movement manufacturers couldn’t compete on price with Asian produced quartz watches. The result is that many Swiss manufacturers that produced affordable mechanical watches like universal Genève went out of business or were acquired by groups like the swatch group. Since the everyday man demographic was obviously going to buy seikos and other Asian watches the Swiss watch groups invented ultra-luxury in watches. They increased the price of their movements and watches tenfold and since the groups owned the Swiss movement manufacturers, they stopped selling Swiss movements to other companies in order to make the Swiss watch mark more exclusive.

Honestly, just go for it, report back and tell us how it went. Just be ready for a total shit show.

>>13643050
Consider me a customer. I was planning on picking up a vk64 watch. The problem is, seiko offer them in their $100 watches, which is good value, but they all look pretty bland and ugly except for that one antarctic chronograph one anon brought here >>13642642

There are a lot of microbrands doing vk64's too, but they're all around the 300 dollar mark which is honestly a lot of money for some very shit, amateur self made designs.

You're also competing with the seagull 1963's, I don't think there's anything you can do there besides offering a non oriental dial and a cheaper movement to service

My advice, get it around $180, steal a dial design directly from the vintage watches you have collected, keep it brandless, don't fuck it up with fake patina. If you can do this I believe you will have a lot of happy customers, shift a lot of orders, and make a bit of money. Offer the option to buy the watch without the strap too.

Pic related is a dude in Korea offering a stolen brandless dial design with a good movement, good case, at a good price, I would call him a success story.

I can't wait to see what you come up with, get in there bro.

It’s out, guys.

>Swiss watch groups invented ultra-luxury in watches
they did in ultra-luxe retail. Prior to the quartz crisis the upper-class would have watches bespoke made by watchmakers or jewelers who could easily purchase the parts from independent swiss manufactures and manufacture their own casings etc.

Now you dumb cunts are paying the old price of a bespoke watch for a factory standard modern day rolex or patek phillipe because you think it makes yourself seem upper-class. Limited edition runs are the worst because they are just an invention to inflate the price of factory made models by doing them in a different color scheme.

The people who push shit like "save to buy a rolex" or "cheap watches make you look poor" are fucking morons. Real rich people don't give a fuck what happens to their watch because they arn't as dumb as you are to spend 3 months salary on a fucking watch you poor nigger.

>Prior to the quartz crisis the upper-class would have watches bespoke made by watchmakers or jewelers

Brands like Patek, Audemars, LeCoultre etc have always produced thousands of watches a year since the industrial revolution.

>who could easily purchase the parts from independent swiss manufactures and manufacture their own casings etc

watchmakers have always used ebauches, used even more so today... what does that have to do with anything?

Mechanical watches have been mass produced since the late 1800s. The major difference now is the swiss don't bother making cheap mechanical movements. Its a pure luxury industry.

I don't know what point you're tying to make.

evening lads

how accurate and reliable is that chink movement?
I want to buy one of those but im not keen of having a no name chink caliber

Naah, just gfs wrist

I live in poor country and my salary is shit so cant afford to spend a lot of money on a watch

My only babies. I miss those old days on airport...
Need better straps

You have done ok.

>>13643987
Yea it seems to hit pretty much every point.
I can’t find a flaw except for I’ve heard they can struggle to get signal sometimes and maybe not he most reliable?

>>13643998
kek

>>13643990
I like the watch, but didn't like the original band, neither how it looked, nor how it felt (it was to hard), but with the suede strap it looks and feels a lot better. The only downside of suede ban is that it stains really fast

>>13643896

will pic related help make forearms/wrists bigger?

not significantly, but it will help your grip on dl for example

But it's a seiko, so it's cheap.

Are you trying to be funny?

>>13644143
No. How much does it cost?

>>13644128
You need to do more than just that. But yes you can size up your wrists to a small degree. Small, yet it may give you a size or two more up in comfort zone wearing watches. Over the years while training your wrists you may see that your 42mm watch suddenly fits you, while 5 years years ago it was too big.

>>13644145
£1000 or so for a good condition one.

Which quartz grand seiko do i go for?
Essentially blue or black dial

My favorite Rolex. Simple and clean
Can I get a leather strap on an Oyster Perpetual?

What you guys think of these HKED watches? 40mm

>>13644185
Black

>>13644290
Yeah. Get an older datejust on a jubilee and swap it out. The bracelets on those are pretty average so it wont be a shame to swap it out and it will be cheaper for you

morning wt

Should a get a steel bagelsport?

>>13644185
>>13644189
Honestly, I would seriously consider a Citizen Chronomaster over the SBGX Grand Seikos, as the SBGX designs are pretty old at this point and don't do a great job of showcasing the external finishing capabilities of GS, while the Citizen have better quartz movements.

>>13644290
The 16200 white dial Datejust is a better choice if you want to wear it on a strap part of the time.

>>13644389
No, they're a shitty dead meme.

Why is that? I prefer not to have the cyclops for aesthetic reasons, as iconic as it may be

Something like seiko pogue would be neat.

What's a dead simple watch where I can time my activities, change straps and not make it look bad?

Is the Seiko SKX007 a good option? I only have a little knowledge on watches and I'm looking for an automatic too. Is this watch the best option there?

Black scuba dude Amphibia in ministry case with Seiko bezel mod. It's auto, looks pretty good and a lot cheaper than an SKX.

>>13644455
propably not the best option but it's a good watch. You get a lot for your money.

It is a very good watch. One of the best allrounders out there. Especially if you buy those that are being produced from about 2016 until now. I suspect that the newer it is the more perfected it is.

Modern Rolex cases are, as far as I know, basically unfinished on the inside faces of the lugs and are means to be worn on the bracelets all the time. A 16200 won't have that issue.

Personally I also vastly prefer the pre-maxicase proportions.

>>13644436
Wearing my Vostok GMT today, old pic though.

>>13644578
I would strongly recommend avoiding the older AT models as they had really mediocre external finishing and the 25xx co-axials have fundamental design flaws.

>>13644804
>>13644840
Daniel wellington is a scam, for that price you can buy entry level selfwinding seiko or orient that looks better, build quality and materials are better instead of getting 10$ worth quarts

>>13644825
Beautiful watches
