Can I get a strapcode angus jubilee with any watches? Or are they only for the 2 SARBS?

Might get an oceanus, I know the radio tower has a small chance to shut down but I still like the build of it and can apparently use an app to sync up

Are replicas ever acceptable? I'm talking about the quality. For example, would a high end Audemars Piguet replica overthrow a Seiko?

>>13702164
no, buy the seiko

>>13702164
Never.
People will instantly disregard you if you buy a replica.

>>13702164
Pretty much everyone will look down on reps
However, finish quality will absolutely fucking blow anything else <$200 out of the water hands down. It is amazing really what they can do with relatively at that price even with relatively low volume. Every other manufacturer is holding back and marking everything up 5-10x minimum even for shitters

I'm in dire need of some accessories, as I literally do not own a single watch. I'm looking for something thats around $150 max, and I am rather fond of the whole silver band, black face look. I don't need anything super luxurious, just a nice, quality watch. Any reccomendations?

Was the quartz folded 10 000 times? How is it so smooth?

>>13702306
It's a 4Hz motor that's smoothed out with an oil capsule iirc. I'm sure the owner can go into more detail.

>>13702311
Why aren't there more quartz watches like this on the market? Is it super expensive to produce?

>>13702312
The 5S21/5S42 uses a vial of viscous liquid and a hairspring to damp the 4Hz stepper - you can see in that webm >>13702311 that the wheel in the bottom right steps 4 times per second but the wheel closer to the center moves smoothly. It wasn't a very practical design; some surviving examples have a cracked vial and all the liquid has leaked out. I would also not be too surprised if Seiko decided to end the 5S21 line (which they did in roughly 1991) to avoid competing with spring drive.

That said, they're cool watches, and they're not too expensive. The 5S42 is the 20spy HAQ version from the majesta line; the 5S21 is present in a number of case references, labeled dolce, spirit, and others.

>>13702319
1/8 speed on my pulsometer 5S21 to illustrate the truly smooth movement.

These watches have an EOL indicator; instead of the motor ticking at 4Hz, it ticks at 8Hz for 1/2 a second, and then doesn't tick for half a second. You can visibly see the second hand speed up and slow down, though it never comes to a complete rest.

>>13702311
The Bulova 262Khz UFH watches, which step 16 times per second, are probably the closest affordable analog on the market, but they don't have a fancy vial of fluid inside the watch and don't have a truly smooth sweep - they just tick really fast.

give me your best 40mm field watch

is it better to get an orient diver or a Seiko diver

>>13702352
That's the question of the century my friend. Do you prefer hacking and winding or the Seiko Shuffle™? Better lume or better bezel? You should watch TGV's video to see how they add up.

Any watchmakers here? How do you get into the field?

are sub $500 automatic watches accurate?

I had an skx007 diver at one point but it seemed to be slow by a minute everyday where at the end of the week I was like 10mins behind.

did I get a dud watch or should I just not expect much from cheaper automatics or is this really the norm with these automatics?

thinking of getting pic related or a sarb.

(which do you think?)

>>13702390
this is the other watch I was looking at

baby snowflake

>>13702390
a full minute per day is a lot. I believe the 7s26 movement in the skx is rated +40/-20 spd.

A standard benchmark for mechanical watch accuracy is ISO3159, which is tested by COSC in switzerland, among other places. It requires a mean daily rate of +6/-4 across 5 static positions, although it allows significant variations between the positions and makes no particular guarantee about performance on the wrist. Tissot at least has a COSC-certified watch (the powermatic 80 chronometer) available just below $500 gray market.

>>13702390
My Seiko 5 shitter runs at -3 SPD.

>>13702388
>That's spring drive levels of sexy
It is a very pleasing sweep, although in fact it ticks 341 times per second, rather than sweeping smoothly like a spring drive or a 5S21/5S42 >>13702319

>>13702403

>>13702403
The omega megasonic is the watch with the fastest ticking main timekeeping hand in history that I'm aware of, ticking 1440 times per second. It is a tuning fork watch though, not quartz; the accuquartz is the fastest ticking quartz watch.

>>13702409
It uses a pair of index fingers to advance an index wheel twice per complete fork oscillation, unlike other tuning fork watches that advance it only once. It then uses a set of magnetic gears to transmit the impulse to the gear train. Omega actually made a model of the escapement for customer education, which I managed to find on ebay.

>>13702412
If you ever happen to find another one of those on ebay, let me know.

>>13702409
The fastest ticking hand on any watch is found on the tag mikrogirder, which ticks 2000 times per second, but only on a chrono hand, not the main timekeeping hand.

>>13702414
I will, though I'll be shocked if I ever do.

>>13702399
>>13702401
so did I just have some bad luck? it really did put me off automatic watches and have used solar quartz ones since then.

think I should try another automatic watch?

>>13702434
an actual full minute per day sounds like bad luck. I would expect you to generally do better than 20spd on a modern automatic watch (assuming you're wearing it enough to keep it near full wind).

Why the fuck are seiko 5s so expensive is there anything else decent in the fifty to seventy dollar range for mechanical or am I fucked? If non mechanical any good suggestions? Vostok seems neat

>>13702451
Seiko 5 prices on amazon fluctuate a fair deal. You should be able to cop one for 70 if you wait.

>>13702292
wasn't that dude

>>13702451
vostok amphibia would be the other choice.

>>13702394
was it worth a grand?

can anyone ID this watch for me?

>>13702390
My first automatic watch was the orient mako, priced at 120 euros at the time. I timed it to +1min PER MONTH. My seiko spb051, (850 euros, pic related) is about +15s/day. It's always a gamble with these things.

That said, I don't have to rely on precise time keeping on my watch so I don't really care that much, and as I have several watches on rotation, they're always stopped anyway when I put them on.

Hello /wt/
I searched for you on /g/ but couldn't find you.. I guess I will try my luck in the /fa/-version
I would like your help

I don't know shit about watches but Im buying one for my father for his birthday, with his money of course. He is all about high end watches, so there is not that much of a limit on price, maybe like 15k

What kind of watches should I buy for him? I only know that he and his colleagues don't like rolex, so that's out of the question. I know he already have a jeagur lecoultre, does that mean I should go for a different brand so this time around so that he gets variation?

>>13702559
Depends on if you're looking for a dress watch, a chronograph, etc. That said if I had $15k for a watch I'd look at a vacheron patrimony, maybe an ALS 1815 or something.

>>13702559
this is the /g/ version, it had to move here

>>13702559
I'm assuming your father is a boomer. Get him a Grand Seiko it'll change his world.
https://youtu.be/V-AS0hdf1lQ

Thoughts on this B&M?

I can get it 1 year old for around 1200 Euros. I have a Tag and an Omega and want to diversify a little. Especially cause I want a black diver that I can put on the Bond nato strap.

>>13702573
>700 dollars to build a rolex
I'm never buying a rolex ever wtf... they have fooled us

Bought this some time ago for an outrageous price. It's a titanium powermatic 80. Should I just take the hit and sell it? Or is it worthless because muh Swatch Group?

>>13702581
I like it. Go for it.

>>13702597
Why sell it? Don't you like it anymore? If you don't like it then I guess you can just sell it. But I think it's a nice watch. It's definitely not worthless.

>>13702588
>*Tsk*
>In my day a Rolex was a week's worth of wages
>When you get my age you'll be able to buy a Rolex as if it was nothing
Gotta love that boomer

>>13702599
I like it but I don't think it was a good purchase, especially if I think that these things require maintenance every few years (back then I knew fuck all about watches and assumed automatics worked forever out of magic). I should have bought a cheapo quartz from a meme company for a fourth of the price tbqh. It's not like the average normie even knows the difference and I just feel like an asshole wearing a moderately expensive watch when everyone wears Casio, Swatch, and maybe fucking Calvin Klein.

I’m loving these 80s Chronos. Anyone in here got one? I’m a bit hesitant to spend hundreds on one as I’m not so sure of their reliability after 30 years.

>>13702608
I own this from 1992, bought it for 200€ NOS and love it.

>>13702559
Id buy him a JLC Master Control Chrono or Ultra Slim. Or a Glashütte Panorama (big date or even chrono) if he is kinda funkier.

>>13702628
The JLC is like the ultimate thing. And below 10k yurodeedoos.

Is this a good alternative to penis quartz?

>>13702604
It was a good purchase if you are happy with it. You say you like it.
If you think giving it a service every 10 years is not worth the trouble of owning that watch, then I guess you should sell it. But if you like it enough to keep it around, paying 400 for a service every 10 years, then keep it.
I'm struggling to understand why you feel like an asshole. It's not like you're wearing a rolex. I can understand the stigma to those watches, but a tissot is not that big of a deal I think? Maybe it is where you live perhaps? Anyway, this ultimately comes down to how much you like the watch. If you really think that a service every 10 years is not worth it then sell it and get some of the money back, then buy something else, like one of the cheap quartz you talk about.

>>13702646
For me, is all the same cringy shit. So yes.

>>13702648
400 a service? You mean 400 pesos or something? Those Tissots are fairly cheap to service actually.

>>13702651
Well, 400 us dollars is what I had in mind, and I don't mean that a service has to be that expensive, I just pulled a high number just to be sure I was in the right ballpark. If it's even cheaper then it's even less of a deal to keep it around, I'd say. And yeah, if you do keep it around, and you give it that service every 10 years (no need to do it every 5 years as some will tell you), then you can keep it the rest of your life.

>>13702628
This watch is gourgeous. Ref number?

>>13702651
>>13702655
It is probably more economical to ditch and buy a new Tissot when yours needs a service

Honestly they're crap

>>13702655
I paid 400 euros servicing my Tudor chrono with 7753 movement. Servicing a basic eta mvt is more like $200.

>>13702659
Nah, they're fine.

Thoughts on The Urban Rat?

>chav pretending to be aristocracy

>>13702672
>Nah, they're fine.
They aren't fine, they're a notch above disposable garbage like Swatch but they're not fine. If you buy Swiss, buy real Swiss, or buy something super cheap like a Seiko or an Orient.

Anything Swiss Made less than 2k retail price is not worth your time (literally).

What are some good digital watches that aren't G-shocks or cost thousands of dollars?

>>13702718
nothing, casio has cornered the market because they give people what they want

>>13702702
He is ok. It seems like he doesn't approach the watches by considering the movements and such, more like what he like on his wrist.

He isn't pretending to be aristrocracy, from where did you get that idea?

>>13702705
This stupid post. Lol.

What are some affordable watches with ETA 2824?
What are some affordable watches with ETA 2892?

>>13702705
Any actual reason for this other than elitism and trying to justify your splurges?

>>13702753
Have you ever held and compared a Tissot to a real Swiss watch? The reason is simply, you get what you pay for. All I'm saying is to buy a Tissot is a waste of your time and money. Save up a bit more and buy a real Swiss watch. I'm not talking Patek here. Just get a used Omega (even a vintage piece). It's infinitely superior to cheaply made nasty Tissot watches. They're just terrible.

>>13702761
So it's elitism. Got it.

>>13702761
I'm fucking tired of this speedmaster circle jerk.

>>13702762
>elitism

Tissot use the cheapest grade ETA movement and cheap materials, uncomfortable shitty bracelets, poor quality control, and so on. That's what I mean by you get what you pay for. It has nothing to do with elitism. If you could get Rolex quality at a Tissot price I'd be all for it. But you can't.

>>13702761
Nobody should buy a watch they really have to save in order to purchase. That's just stupid. Those people should spend their money on more important things.

>>13702765
You get what you pay for, and some can't pay more, you asshole.

>>13702766
You can get very decent Swiss for $1500, it's not a far cry from a Tissot at all, just get past the initial "thousand bucks" barrier.

>>13702768
Hence why you should wait and save up a bit more instead of wasting hundreds on a cheap watch. Why can't you see the reason in that? If you can afford a $300 watch then you can save up a bit more and buy a $1500 watch. That watch will be something to last you a lifetime.

>>13702772
a 300$ watch will also last a life time

>>13702775
Yea but it holds no value except sentimental value. Fifty years from now you're about to shit the bed and you'll be looking at that $300 watch thinking "wish I had bought a nice piece to enjoy all my life".

If you LOVE your $300 watch, that's cool. More power to you. I just feel that people buy Tissot because they think they can't afford a better watch. If you simply don't care about better watches, that's cool. But if you like quality you should really look at getting a used Seamaster or even a Longines. Just something with a bit of history and tradition.

>>13702718
SBPG001

>>13702772
I can buy a 1500 watch next week, but some people can't. And if they have to start saving their money in order to buy a 1500 watch then I'm very sure they have more important things to spend them on. Maybe I'm speaking to the wrong crowd now, but I for one think that nobody should overspend on watches. People with less money have more important things to care about. Those with more money have already taken care of the most important stuff, and can afford spoiling themselves with expensive watches.

You truly sound like some kind of elistist. Tissot watches are NOT useless. They just aren't on the same level as those watches you want. And that's true, you are indeed correct. But tho the people with less money, they are not useless. Like you said, you get what you pay for, and these watches are fine for what they are supposed to be, lower end swiss watches. And for most people that is more than enough.

>>13702784
I think lower end Swiss watches are a scam. I don't have a problem with people who dont want to spend a lot of money on watches, I just feel like they're being scammed. As I've said I believe you can get a better watch for that money if you buy an Orient instead.

Swiss watches are ALL a ripoff to some extent but if you are batting in that low end you're just being sold a dream - "affordable Swiss luxury watches!"

>>13702781
I get what you're saying. And you may be right. But it's always the same boring models coming back every time. It's always rolex this and moon watch that.

I prefer variety over your history and tradition of the same boring thing.

>>13702786
>ALL watches are a ripoff to some extent
Fixed that for you.

>>13702787
How many watches do you have? How many do you really need?

There's so many models out there, nobody is forcing you to buy a Speedy. Shop around and find something you like. You could get one super duper nice Swiss watch for $1500 and then add a few low end pieces to have some variety further down the track. I have two Swiss and two cheap beaters myself.

morning, lads
post some morning watches

It's funny when people think they can tell fakes from the real thing from more than a meter away. Hell, 99.999% of people couldn't tell if they were holding the watch.

>that disgusting audi logo
clean that shit ffs

>>13702786
Lower end but still high quality watches will last a lifetime and past a certain amount you have diminishing returns on the price:quality ratio like with everything else. I would rather trust an estabilished Swiss brand than a japanese mostly because when I think of watches I think of Switzerland, when I think of videos of old men pushing eels in schoolgirl's anuses I think of Japan. I spent 680€ for the titanium Tissot automatic and I can't say the watch is in any way not perfect in its construction or finish, it is also pretty accurate and after 1 year I haven't noticed anything wrong with it, I've been measuring it and it gains around 15 seconds per day, the titanium is also very light which is great for a daily driver. I would have appreciated luminescent hands but other than that the watch is literally perfect from what I can tell, and the 80h reserve is very nice because when I wear it every day it survives the weekends unworn just fine. My main issue is that I feel like I overspent, thinking back it was an impulse buy just because I liked the watch and was fascinated by mechanical movements, but honestly there are plenty of cheapo quartz ones that are just as pretty even without the fancy movement make it up with cool features.

Call me a faggot shitter all you want but as much as I like the engineering behind these movements I can enjoy them just fine in YouTube videos without having to own them. I could buy a Rolex tomorrow but I really don't see the value in these items anymore for some reason even though I still like to read about them.

>>13702833
I checked my Tissot Thiccodate last week ant it was less than -2 seconds a day, is 6 years old and has never been serviced. Also didnt leak at all after an hour in a goass of water. So Tissot is perfectly FINE.

>>13702842
In this very moment I feel like even 100€ quartzes from meme brands are just fine. To me Tissot is already a massive overkill at sub 1k€. I got into watches when they were talked about in /g/ so I always appreciated the engineering and mechanics more than the fashion aspect, so back then when I bought mine I was thinking of that to justify the price, it also had a perfect dial (to my taste), not too sparse and not too elaborate. Now I see watches more as a /fa/ item that doesn't need expensive movements or fancy "Swiss Made" markings to look good.

Can anyone ID this watch?

>>13702853
I think it's an IWCdepthgauge.png

what are the best quartz watches under $400?

for 400 why quartz?

Pls no bully i have bitch wrist. Its a gift from my boyfriend for our 3rd anniversary

>>13702878
What's even the point of autos other than personal autistic elitism and internal greentexting? They're unreliable, require servicing, and are ridiculously expensive (yes even those chink ones). Chicks and normies don't even know a shit about watch movements, in fact I think they don't even know what movement means or that there are different types. With quartz you can change the battery every 10 years (price: 2 bucks) and you're set.

>>13702884
Too big for your twink wrist, looks pretty bad tbqh.

>>13702886
>less than 4 years
>10 bucks
ok but if you're that kind of person why go above 100 for a quartz?

>>13702884
I want to see a better wrist shot, honestly, before I judge on the size.

But the watch itself is a pretty nice one I think. I just wish it didn't have the magnifying thingy which is a rolex thing, and a stupid one too.

>>13702884
you know what's missing on that dial?
an other fucking thing

>>13702872
these look pretty good. what are they?>>13702878
I find autos to be unreliable like the other dude said

I've owned them before and sometimes the time would be out of wack and I always had to readjust the time every few weeks when I noticed it was out of wack.

>>13702893
Superior quality in everything that is not the movement? Seriously why splurge for a part of the watch that
1. You can't see
2. Others can't see
3. You can't brag about since nobody know shit about watch calibers
4. Is inefficient, inaccurate, obsolete (and I mean centuries old obsolete), and requires mainteinance in the (((current year)))

With 400 you can get a high tier quartz chronographer with ridiculous precision (more precise than your pos COSC cronometer that costs 2x the amount with zero complications) and maybe some additional features like solar powered, automatic time sync, full date, titanium construction, and so on. Basically you can get a watch that's functionally superior to any mechanical clunker at a fraction of the price.

>>13702898
>the magnifying thingy which is a rolex thing, and a stupid one too.

I think this comes from the fact that only old richfags were able to afford these watches and most oldfags are visually impaired, that's why there are magnifying lenses and big ass numerals. I honestly can't stand those things.

>>13702906

fake, replica, chinese

>>13702872
really though, thanks dawg I think I've found my next watch

>>13702958
I wish Casio would put all those digitals in a fire.
Especially if it had a steel case.

>>13702968
that looks perfect

Honestly though, in a normie social situation, how much of a difference does a high end swiss vs a shit tier kickstarted meme watch make when someone asks you the time or the watch is just looking pretty on your wrist?

t. I look at the time on my phone

Is there a better value sub homage than the Tisell for €300? Or any good alternatives?

>>13702997
yeah the mako II

>>13702646
That is an export model penis quartz, they used different branding.

>>13702718
A watch you can water

>>13702748
For the 2892, the Hamilton intramatic

>>13702859
Some of the stuff here is out of date but a lot of it is still true.

>>13702987
Nothing or close to.

But who cares?

>>13702312
how would those slant eye'd gooks sell spring drive then?

>>13703011
tfw I didn’t made the screenshot

>>13703010
>Hamilton intramatic
How's that bracelet? Have you handled that watch before?

look at this fucking beauty

>>13703028
Gorgeous. At twice the price too, I'm sure.

>>13703011
Wow, you definitely can't get a twin quartz for $20-40...

>>13703031
yeah

>>13703028
>not a speedmaster
Into the fucking garbage.

>>13703040
what's so special with the speedmaster?

>>13703042
IT WENT TO THE GODDAMN MOON

>>13703040
>there is only one chrono for me
The speedmaster is fantastic, but it's $1000-$2000 more expensive too. When you want a chronograph there are more options than just the speedy. This hamilton one is quite nice. I love its design honestly.

>>13703048
a pencil went to the moon
texas instrument went to the moon
what's your point?

>>13703050
I think he's just shitposting.

>>13703049
>when you want a chronograph there are more options than just the speedy
Stopped reading here.

>>13703050
Are you interested in pencils or are you interested in watches?

>>13703053
>Stopped reading here.
Good, my point was already made by then.

>>13703053
Are you interested in watches or are you interested in speedmasters?

>>13703048
> Did this watch go to the moon?
> Well, no, but a watch with the same name as this one did!
> Oh, so, the same model went to the moon
> Well, no, it was a difference reference
> Oh, but it was the same movement?
> Well, no, it was a different movement
> Oh, but a watch with the same case as this one went to the moon?
> Well, no, the case is actually a different size and shape
> So...
> But they both say Speedmaster on the dial!

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WATCHES, OR ARE YOU INTERESTED IN CHEESE SLICERS THAT WENT TO THE MOON?

>>13703059
mine went in a fucking black hole just saying

>>13702597
Also if you like the watch but don't want to get it serviced than just don't do it.
Your watch will continue to run, you just increase the "work" for all those gears, because old oils and maybe other micro dirt resulting in a higher risk of damaging something.
Anyways your watch should continue running, I have a few watches from the 60s that never had a service and they are running very good.

If you don't like it than you can sell it for sure, but giving it a service once in a decade should not be too much of an efford.

MAN ON THE PHUCKING MOON, PHUCKERS!

>>13703056
The Speedmaster is the definitive chronograph in the sub-$10,000 pricerange, buying anything else just shows that you don't know what you're doing.

>>13703059
The Speedmaster went to the moon, the GT40 won Le Mans, the atomic bomb won WW2. Why is that difficult for you to understand?

>>13703071
I think there are better chronographs in that price range.

>>13703086
Name one.

I'll wait.

>>13703071
I think I understand now, what you're saying is this watch went to the moon.

>>13703089
a nice breitling is better thant a speedmaster

What watch is /wtg/ awaiting for?

>>13703091
nice crown, omega
did you find it in a buttplug chatroulette?

>>13703091
The Speedmaster is only the Moonwatch, nothing else counts.

>>13703093
kys

>>13703101
so you're wrong
neat :)

>>13702139
I want one. Now.

>>13703101
>The Speedmaster is only the Moonwatch, nothing else counts.
Right, and >>13703091 is a speedmaster, and is thus the moonwatch.

>>13703093
LOL

>>13703112
looks like a seiko
any good seiko suggestions?

>>13703112

>>13703112
there’s a penis at 12

>>13702390
>did I get a dud watch or should I just not expect much from cheaper automatics or is this really the norm with these automatics?

If you buy Swiss automatics costing thousands, they often come with certificates saying they're 'SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETERS OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED' to lose about 20 seconds a day. Those are the good ones. Make of that what you will..

>>13703129
the watch that went to uranus

>>13703128
If you think that looks good, you're either 12, blind or stuck in 1996.

>>13703113

Redpill me on smartwatches and fitbits. Are they manchildren stuff or they can be /fa/? Also why has /wt/ moved from /g/ to here, and from what I can read from all the posts, with all of their previous /g/ lurkers and posters too?

>>13703138
that's beautiful, ripley

>>13703144
>Also why has /wt/ moved from /g/ to here

>>13703154
jesus fucking christ how many times do we have to answer that

>>13703153
That's not the Ripley watch, it's a different colour version of the Bishop watch

>>13703163
there's a Bishop watch?

>>13702787
>I get what you're saying. And you may be right. But it's always the same boring models coming back every time. It's always rolex this and moon watch that.
>I prefer variety over your history and tradition of the same boring thing.

All the more reason to take up anons advice and not buy some boring Tissot to be honest.. The tip he gave that you should look something like a Seiko. Between Seiko, Citizen and Casio there's so much cool and unsual stuff available you'd be much better served taking your limited funds there if variety is what you are after...

>Don't want boring stuff
>Looking at Tissot
I really don't follow.

>>13703167
true true

>>13703133
Funny you say that because i find the Aerospace cool AND im stuck in 1998 (almost 1996...) and proud of it.

1998 was a great year.

>>13703144
fitbit is nice to keep track of your biometrics if you are interested in such a thing but its not fashionable, its just a utility. smartwatches are even less cool but i guess has more functionality

>>13702139

>That limp doe

>>13703179
>smartwatches are even less cool but i guess has more functionality

What gets me about them is that they often rely on having a smartphone near to be actually functional.. Also they seem too small to properly type on.

Maybe it's great for normiebook addicts, but I prefer an analog clock on my wrist.

Love that Richard Mille is paving the way to the future and leaving the useless seconds complication behind

>>13702799

you're judged if its real, you're judged if its fake. Best option is to just not buy rolex.

>>13703195
Leaving legibility behind too

>>13702799
They know by the square footage of your house if it's real or not

>>13703213

Fitbit is only useful for a fatty losing weight. If you're trying to build muscle it's got nothing for you. Also I have an inclination my heart rate would rise if I had a monitor on and was constantly thinking about it

>>13703216
I should sell my car buy a Rolex move back in with mom and use her car

>>13703224
Based.

>>13703219
Fitbit helped me lose weight. It vibrates at you if you're too sedentary until you get up and do 250 steps everyb5 mins

>he didn't get his car and his luxury watch for free from his parents

>>13703219
you can use some models as runtrackers since they have gps, although i think garmin is more popular

>>13703224
why not some presages?

>>13703225
What up YouTube, I'm coming atchu from my mom's Camry I gotta be back at 8pm before the street lights come on

But I'm living my best life

That Rollie life

>>13703235
I want a watch with bracelet, and I love these dials, but that bracelet is not good enough.

>>13702110
I'd like a leather strap watch to compliment my fits.
Torn between Bambino or a Presage.
Which should I get /wt/?

>>13703242
Even grand Seiko bracelets are dick cheese just get those $150 solid bracelets from Amazon

>>13703250
What kind of solid bracelets are you talking about

>>13702906

it's not about seeing it or wanting others to see it. It's not about bragging. It's not about wanting people to think things about the person or their possessions. It's about the horology and the charm of the mechanical beat and the marvel of the minute, precise technology. My wife used to feel that quartz was the best until she got a good mechanical. No question, some quartz are more accurate and a battery change every 3 years (or solar) seems more practical to some but service every 5-10 years may be worth the mechanical

Based on this response I am inferring that you view "expensive" watches as a status symbol with archaic technology. I understand this. But there is also a reason mechanical watches are still around, they have worth that is not as obvious as accuracy, ease, price, and status. I see your clear preferences but you have to agree that others may prefer other things. Nothing wrong with your view but different strokes for different blokes.

tfw no horological gf

>>13702799
Must be a shit watch if you cant feel the difference when u r holding it

Check out the best of AliExpress thread on watchuseek. Chinese brands are pumping out legit shit now.
Brands to look out for:
>Guanqin
>Cadisen
>Nakzen

>>13702451
If you are careful you can get sterile parnis homages on ebay in that range, normally at $1 auctions. I have several and they are pretty nice for what they are, they usually hack and handwind.

>>13703385
>>Guanqin
>>Cadisen

All dogshit with semi-impressive spec-sheets and piss poor execution.

If you knew how complex an automatic watch movement was you would see why nobody can make one worth having for $25 and that it's amazing you can get anyting for twice that

>>13702753
It's not elitism, it's about a peculiarity of the Swiss industry. German and Japanese watchmakers are generally the only options for accepting price to quality ratios in the $750 - $3,500 uncanny Valley because all the Swiss brands owned by conglomerates in that price bracket spend more on advertising than manufacturing.
