>>13688624
Jewmashop has some nice prices. I've gotten a couple of watches from them. They warranty everything from 2-5 years depending on brand etc. Nice price no manufacturer warranty. Whichever you like better

stupid question time!

if you have an automatic watch, can you wind up the mainspring by turning the crown?

>>13688886
Depends on the movement.

>>13688886
Certain movements let you wind it up by twisting the windyknob. Others don't, mostly the cheaper watches lack this function.

>>13688890
>>13688892
that's nice. how do you know if it's fully wound? is it possible to damage the mechanism?

I know, I know, but I never had a watch like that

>>13688896
You twist it until it becomes hard to twist. You will feel when to stop. You could damage the movement. Especially the eta 2824s are easy to shit up that way, but if you don't go full retard, you won't damage the watch.

>>13688605

>>13688896
>how do you know if it's fully wound?
You don't, it has a clutch to stop it from getting overwound. Even so you should only wind it enough to get it moving, then your movement whilst wearing it should be enough.
ETA 2824s are known to eat themselves with too much handwinding.

>>13688957

Why does he not post here anymore, did you guys sent a bomb to him when he showed us his ebay account or what?

>>13689047

>>13689052
Probably too busy banging nubile lithe teens.
Or maybe he got the back off that tritium watch and the radiation killed him to death.

Watchnigger here. I have this "friend" who's a fellow collector, mostly hunting garbage at fleamarkets, soaking the movements in naphta and wearing them till they break, or re-selling them at a decent profit (like reselling a $30 old shitter for $50 by taking it from one flea market from another). He and old guy who wears dirty sweatpants, and smells of ciggies, and babbles for an hour about old slavshit and busted up Doxas.

He drains my energy and wastes my time at work, but I like him because he's another passionate shitter collector (I know the girls in the store fucking hate him). Also he can source me slavshit donors for a reasonable price, so it's all good.

So the point is I just bought this Doxa from him, for bout $50. I don't normally collect Doxas, because they all look about the same, and you can't tell what movement is inside until you open it up. Now you'd think $50 is a bit much for shitty Doxas, but take a look inside.

>>13689053
Name?

>>13689010
Rotary Tradition, about £500.

>>13689066
This is the Doxa cal. 160. I don't know what it's based on, but it looks like a really fancy, precise movement.

Apparently these go for about $120, serviced.

>>13688846
That's probably a little bigger than the worldwide average if that makes you feel better. I have 7in wrists and still feel like a wristlet. The grass is always greener

>>13689066
>>13689082
Nice cop my friend.

I really want to get an orient watch, whats the best site to get one? I'm seeing different prices on every site I'm go. Mainly interested in a bambino, open heart or a sun and moon.

>>13689089
Alright, I narrowed it down to some 11,5 ligne ETA. But it looks like Doxa milled down all the original ETA text.

>>13689090
Amazon duh

>>13689071
Nice, but way out of my price range.
I'm more in the Victorinox price range lmao

>>13689082
Well, would you look at that. When I bought it the geartrain was almost completely seized from dry oil. Now after dripping some benzine on the pivots and playing with the adjustment arms a bit, this is the signal it produces. Of course now it's completely dry, so I'm still doing a proper service.

Also because I buy watches more to play around with the movements, servicing and repairing them, so I'd be pretty disappointed if I didn't have to do anything with it. Getting to wear them when I'm done is really just a bonus.

Good buy, /wt/?

>>13689068
I dunno. It’s a smart watch by Diesel.

>>13689101
You'll struggle to get a Swiss made auto for less than that. Have a look on eBay for used Hamilton Intramatics.

>>13689130
>used Hamilton Intramatics
Thanks for the tips

>>13689136
No worries, I think I saw one on there a bit ago for £200. Plus that has the ETA 2892 which is a decent movement.

Good morning wt

Smart watches are fuggin useless if you dont have a heart condition and don't care about how far you walked. I was gifted a fitbit and never used it except to dinner one time with the person who got it for me

>>13689151
I’m a watch guy and I’d definitely say that smart watches are more useful than normal watches. They have vastly more functions with notifications and navigation and stuff.
Normal watches are obsolete.

>>13689188
Meh, her face was weird and her ass was the wrong kind of fat.

>>13689186
Show me where you insert the water.
Also isn't the idea in this to use two different metals in water to produce electricity? Shouldn't the metals corrode quite rapidly?

>>13689193
Those three holes at the top of the watch are where the water goes in.

>>13689193
>>13689212
Here's a picture from a current eBay listing showing the module (not my watch but same movement). I can't really speak to why or if the metals don't corrode, but seems to work fine for now.

>>13689212
>>13689215
Interesting, thanks.
I can't tell why they wanted to make a watch with this kind of solution for power.

>>13689161
Yeah a watch that alerts me of all the calls and texts I don't get everyday real useful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcpbObbBi_Y

>>13689565
https://streamable.com/8o2wf

Here's one video.

An interesting quirk of the movement:
The seconds hand advances when the 1/20s hand hits 0/20, but the minutes counter advances when the 1/20s hand advances to 1/20. Not the exact same time as the seconds hand, but 1/20th of a second later.

>>13689598
Ok, now this is EPIC.

>>13689598
This is why autoquartz is a failure as a technology.

>>13689561
>>13689603
How much did you pay?

>>13689603

Second video: https://streamable.com/magn0

With another cool feature: once the minutes counter hits 10 minutes, the 1/20s second hand stops to conserve power. It will travel to the current 1/20th second whenever the chronograph is stopped or split (split timer), then return to 0/20 when the chronograph is restarted, or reset.

>>13689608
I think it's good that he came up with some solution, but using a motor powered with AA batteries to charge his kinetic watch lmao, kinda defeats the whole purpose of kinetic.

>>13689598
This made me think.
Are there any windable quartz watches? Kinda like the kinetic there, but you would wind it up every day or so and it would slowly release it's power to a capacitor to run the quartz?

>>13689608
What? How is it different from an automatic?

>>13689620
The point is how is it different from a normal, battery powered quartz?

The answer is it's worse in every way.

>>13689619
Seiko did come up with a revision to the Kinetic, the Kinetic Direct Drive, which is basically a kinetic but with handwinding.
Not in that many models though.

>>13689611
About $180. Got it from a fellow collector in the local Seiko group. He focuses on collecting the 7A28, this one being a spare. Not too bad I guess... (these used to go here for about ~$100 or so)
It came with an original SQ clasp, being the Sports 100 export version, but not with the right bracelet. The guy's currently keeping an eye out for one for me though.

>>13689619
You have just defined Seiko's Spring Drive technology. Only it is self winding too.

>>13689634
I think he meant a watch that stops working when the spring if fully unwinded (mdchanical power storage), as a Spring Drive. Not one in which the movement charges a battery that lasts months.

>>13689634
Thanks mate, any models without the rotor?

>>13689640
Pretty much so, but I know the Spring Drive, it is much more complicated, I was just seeking your regular quartz with winding.

Rate my latest cop /wt/

>>13689647
As far as I'm aware there is no watch where the energy storage is a mainspring, the oscillator is quartz, and the escapement is a stepper motor. There's no reason you couldn't do this, but it's not exactly clear to me how the potential energy in the mainspring would be converted to electric energy for the stepper motor and the quartz oscillator - spring drive solves this really neatly but in a way that doesn't really translate to the escapement being a stepper motor.

>>13689496
Send him back to Switzerland mate.

>>13689662
Alright, thanks for your input.
It was kinda far fetched to think they would exist, but it would be a pretty interesting gimmick.

>>13689659
Looks pretty good.
Is it vintage?

>>13689646
Whoops, yeah, I totally misread.
Indeed the only quartz-regulated, mainspring-driven movements right now in production watches are spring drives. I'm pretty sure there's others, but SD is the most accessible.

>>13689647
Sadly none, as far as I know.
Technically the Kinetic Direct Drives aren't exactly what you're looking for, as you mentioned, since winding the crown charges a battery, rather than winding a spring. But they're the closest, and most accessible thing for a hand-windable, quartz-regulated movement.
They seem to be mostly in the Seiko Premier line. Pretty damn pricey, honestly.

>>13689679
Seiko spring drive is the only mainspring-powered quartz watch in production. As far as I know the only other commercially sold mainspring-powered quartz watch is the piaget.

What do you think of the new B&M Baumatic Cosc as a "poor man's JLC Master Control Date" (sector dial version)?

Why do watch nerds go nuts for fatek filippe

Their designs are so bland and its so underwhelming to see them in person. They look like cheap generic junk

watches are the single most important /fa/ item a person can wear. Nothing more concisely signals your social status, and self image than a watch.

You might want to back away from the swiss marketing exec dick that's lodged firmly into your throat

the most rich and powerful usually end up wearing casios and timex because they aren't retarded sheep

>>13691682
more like shoes, the only people who care about watches are watch guys and rappers. Rich people and professionals dont always wear watches, but they certainly wear shoes

i doubt you are actually in high class circles, the ones with the most expensive watches i meet are usually not the wealthiest, but the most obnoxious.

you must have liked it enough to save it off reddit and post it here

Can anyone recommend a good quality case wrench? I'm thinking of buying solar/kinetic/mechanical instead, that way I won't have to either go to a watchmaker or unscrew the back myself.

>>13691682
What if you’re a billionaire and don’t wear a watch?

>>13691783
Get this one.

>>13691677
Agree, the finishing and quality are superb, but most of their designs (not all tho) are bland and mallshit tier.

>>13691433
Its actually unpolished and with many scratches; the phone camera flash makes it look dull and overpolished i think.

absolute pleb here. what's the best junghans watch under 500 euro? form c?

>>13691375
but I have a Tisell automatic that has stopped keeping time accurately. And I don't want a watch over 40mm. I want a casual everyday 38-40mm

Best website to buy watches in the UK?

Some casios look nicer than Calatravas. Maybe the enamel dials just photograph cheap though

When will the Bauhaus meme end?

>>13691677
Vacheron Constantin are the superior watchmakers

>>13691746
I'm not saying "rich people wear expensive watches" I'm saying people wear the watch that represents what they want to be.

>>13691495
I'm in love with that Omega. How much did it cost?

>>13692360
also I'd like to redact my original claim and say that hats are the single most important piece of clothing that signifies your position in a given society. You can get arrested or killed for wearing the wrong hat.

>>13692282
For me its JLC and A. Lange & Sohne nowadays.

>>13690891
I got this one. Works for me.
Fuck the haters

got my wife this watch, she loves it!

>>13689925

does not match

>>13689844
Mark, pls

>>13692360

I just like to wear shiny things. I actually get fearful someone will want to talk to me about my watch since it's my personal hobby. I guess in reality I know I probably shouldn't spend as much as I do on watches and when I am going out to meet people, Ill throw on the G shock or citizen because those are well accepted normal watch brands and I don't want people to assume anything about me.

>>13692417

looks really nice man

>>13689751
Why does it have two crowns?

>>13692644
one operates setting the time, winding etc and the other operates the rotating navigational "compass" bezel function

>>13692652
it'd be cool if it was a working compass freely rotating. Seems pretty useless

>>13692652
>rotating navigational "compass" bezel function

Pretty neat feature, any other watches with this?

ima tell so much time

great choice man, love mine

Thoughts on GS hi-beat?

>>13693006
Better than a Datejust.

>>13693006

mine is accurate and smooth looking, fun to own a piece of horologic history with the hi beat movement. Obviously puts wear on the movement more than a regular beat or spring drive. That SBGH267 is beautiful though.

mfw this thread is still not at bump limit

this watch

yay or nay? also should I go for the metal look or rubber?

>>13694312
a500wa is better

>>13694312
Get the green map version.

>>13693006
Their hi-beat movements are extremely well made, feature good levels of movement finishing for a series produced movement, and use MEMS to produce skeletonized driveline parts that reduce the power requirements and thereby the wear and tear on the movement.

Grand Seiko is also preserving a couple of vanishing watchmaking techniques as they are one of the only remaining makers to use complex inner terminal curve geometries on their hairsprings, and to still use regulated balances that require hand adjusting the geometry of the hairspring to really perform. Everyone else making high grade production mechanicals has switched to free sprung balances at this point, which require neither of these techniques.

GS external finishing is also some of the best you'll find on any series produced watch, though Rolex has better bracelets in terms of end link fitment and clasps.

>>13694312
Best metal bracelet on any cheap Casio by miles.

New thread when?
You better not put a digital in the op this time

What do you guys think of my Raketa?
