I think Chinese and Japanese look kinda cool too, but Roman has the benefit that I can actually read it.

I have this blue Cocktail Time on a bracelet but I think it would be better suited to a strap.

What would be decent strap combos for this?

Anyone got any recommended two piece perlon straps? (If they exist...)

Tudor bb 36

Hey /wt/, any of you seen one of these before? It's a Royce Mexico, probably from the 70's, and me and the customer have no idea how to open it.

Every sign points to the method of blowing compressed air into the pendant tube to blow the crystal out, but the whole thing is really fragile. Any idea if these were ever meant to be taken apart?

>>13763199
Here's the back. The case is completely one piece.

>>13763201
is it like a swatch and not supposed to be serviced?

>>13763206
Don't know, it's definitely possible though. But on the other hand it has a split stem, which it shouldn't have if it's not meant to be taken apart.

>>13763199
>>13763201
Can't you just pry out the crystal with a x-acto knife?

>>13763221
A bit savage. I'm only considering that as the last resort after the last resort.

>>13763223
How tight is it?

>>13763230
I don't have it with me right now. But it's pressed in and any kind of prying would deform the plastic case around the crystal.

>>13763231
just give the customer back a nicely dried dog turd . He wont know the difference

this old chronograph has a picture of the movement, could an experienced eye tell me what they think by how it looks?

looks fucking filthy to me

>>13763231
You'll have to blow it out or SUCC it out.

why do people wear watches on their right hand?

Why does everyone wear these repulsive Seiko and other ching chong watches? They look like shit tbqh and lack the prestige of Swiss counterparts. Even entry level Swiss brands have better quality movements and finishing than these nip shitters.

>>13763236
actually this. take out the split stem and pop it out with air.

no guarantee it'll go back together. but worst case scenario, apoxy

Hey guys, so I’m 22 and my older brother is 31. His birthday is coming up and I’d like to get him a watch. He’s mentioned before that he likes the skeletonized ones that show the gears, but he’s a car painter so I don’t know if I need to get something special to prevent the dust clogging it up. Could I get some recs please?

I wish Citizen or Seiko would make a 35mm, two-hand, solar dress watch without any text on the dial alluding to the fact it's solar-powered.

Also, I wish Seiko would release a quartz movement I can't hear across the room.

Hello dear Anons
I would like to hear opinions about following brands:
Timex
Swiss Army
Junghans
Nomos
Skagen

>>13764279
All junk. Buy a Seiko and shut up.

why the fuck are some of you guys spending more than $300 in a watch? what kind of coping mechanism is this

>>13764334
Because these guys think that girls will look at their Tudor and cream meanwhile I spent 100 on a Seiko 5 and put a 10 dollars shiny mesh bracelet on it and I have gotten more compliments then will any other watch. People are attracted to shiny things not your crusty diver that you never get wet.

>>13764334
it becomes just like any other hobby at some point, and mechanical watches are expensive to produce.

Some people buy expensive shit just to show other people they have it. But some just like spending money because they like collecting cool stuff.

Why do people spend thousands of dollars collecting stamps, coins, knives, guns, guitars etc etc.

>>13764349
why the hell would anyone buy a Tudor to impress anyone. Might as well just save up and buy a Rolex if that's the goal.

>>13762875
Hello /wt/

>>13764360
Might as well save up and buy patek

>>13764360

Can I get a recc for a 40mm or smaller diver. Under 500 would be ideal.

In case you're checking the thread for (you)s, you need to state your budget. This thread isn't about fashion watches btw.

Yes it is (also) about fashion watches. And truly, all watches are fashion pieces whether you like it or not. How to you like that fact?

>>13765358
Thx mr. Anon

>>13764349

My Tudor was a gift, but you're right. Girls can't tell the difference between watches.
Women are another story. Successful women compliment my nicer watches and it tells them I must have done something right in life to be able to afford one, which is a positive thing if you're looking for buttsecks.

>>13765478

It claims to have lume on the hands and markers, but I can't seem to get it to charge, maybe more time in the sun?

>>13765756
First of all, feel free to bless us with more pictures. A nice little zoomed in one of the movement, if you could.
>lume
Well, on the hands there is not much space for lume. If the middle of the markers is lumed that should be visible enough.
Do the following:
>go to dark room/place
>use phone's flashlight on it for 10-15 seconds
>turn off flashlight
>check if lume workes than
If it won't than call your local lvmh dealer and ask if it is really supposed to have lume. To be honest, it doesn't really look like it has lume at all, on the picture.

>>13765780
>Before they were famous: Richard Mille

>>13764758
what's that second brown one on the bottom row? is it more of a rose gold watch?

In the US, old money tends to wear Timexes as a symbolic gesture with the approximate meaning of: "Fancy watches are for waiters and taxi drivers."

Is there an equivalent watch brand in the UK or continental Europe?

Or is the concept a little weird for European old money, which is quite happy to wear double-sided gold cufflinks and the like out of a stronger sense of tradition, without even looking at it as a flashy thing to do?

>>13765893
most rich people just wear apple watches

>>13765882

Looks great on rubber. All brushed Jubilee or Engineer is nice too.

>>13765888
thanks but it's a bit much for me. I'd prefer one that tapers.

thinks regular Super oyster would suit it or is the watch too regular for it? how about a hexad one (pic related)?

how about a black metal bracelet? think it would suit to someone mimic the rubber strap or will black metal look weird and scratch weird

>>13765903
Old money non-businessmen using Apple laptops, maybe. But them wearing iWatches seems unlikely.

That rolexes are about as upper middle class as a huge television, but you think they are good, which casts doubt on your upper middle class street cred
Or leafy suburb cred

why don't you faggots go back to /g/ and leave us to talk about fashion?

>>13765972
your average service worker can get a huge television these days. even top tier TV's can be had for less than $1500, which is much, much less than a new Rolex

regardless, upper middle class isn't even that high a bar to clear. it basically applies to anyone making a six figure salary

Let me lower the level of discourse: to people with a certain level of civilisation, which is not the same thing as owning a golden toilet and being the grand high mcdonalds manager of an entire state, rolexes are as socially not-okay as leopardskin carseats.

right, because tasteless wageslave proles are Rolex's target market and advertising targets... fuck off, you delusional cunt

>>13765993
That's really not a fair thing to call a Rolex. Like it or not Rolex movements as mechanical movements made in house are among the best in the world for mass produced watches. Probably the best of any movement with that production volume. They meet and exceed all technical expectations and claims which are made about them.

Yes they are "daddy's first I made it watch" but in that vein the are more like a 911 porshe than anything else. They are onlike a useless bit of fashion like a car seat cover

>>13766006

>>13766004
>tasteless wageslave proles are Rolex's target market and advertising targets
I hate to break it to you...

>>13766006
From a strictly horological perspective, you're correct. And they were probably fine to wear in the '50s and even '60s. Someone who collects watches or likes to have them as a chattel that can be discretely sold or bequeathed is fairly justified in having a rolex or two.
In a locked case, in a locked room.

The problem is that they have become a symbol of vulgarity that rattles my nerves like dentist's drill.

>>13765892
It’s a Presage. I think it’s more bronze than meme gold, but sure.

>>13766008
bc this was before shit blew up, they did not know they were going to be filming the most iconic watch in history when they made that scene. That is literally a stagehand's watch, Bond was supposed to be at some ritzy social function but he was only there LARPing and gave no fucks about their dress past what it earned him in getting information or what he wanted. So instead of wearing a fancy gold watch like everyone else he was wearing a diver on a cloth strap, because he was a secret agent le sneaky diver man.

It was the gshock of the day, essentially they borrowed the stagehand's gshock. At the time I think a brand new one was $150

>>13766012
>The problem is that they have become a symbol of vulgarity that rattles my nerves like dentist's drill.
Same thing with a 911, it's a great sports car you can't say it's not. But some midlife crisis accountant just buying one because he can who does not even care about cars is sometimes cringe worthy

>10:10

>>13766022
It ticks 1440 times per second. As far as I'm aware, it is the fastest-ticking timekeeping hand in a wristwatch in history (excluding spring drive, piaget 700p, etc., which do not tick).

>>13766025
>It wasn't a stagehand's even then Rolex were expensive for the average man, just not as much as today. It belonged to the producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli.
holy shit really i did not know that. I always heard it was a stage hand, and that it had either a repo or at least a non factory bezel on it and was actually not in that great of condition and not at the time worth much with no band

You are right that they were more expensive back then, but they were meant to be something a person could afford and were literally a tool. This was before quartz and a decent wristwatch was like having a decent cell phone today. Not cheap but the average man spends a bit on a cell phone because of the functionality he gets from it. A rolex was probably like the iPhone of it's day, not worthless but not exactly uncommon or pretentiously expensive. People were not surrounded by super accurate digital quartz displays in the periphery of their vision every waking second of every hour like today.

>>13766031
that's pretty sweet broski

I love the perfect sweep of the spring drive but am meh on their styling

>It ticks 1440 times per second.
how long does the battery last?

>>13766014
>It was the gshock of the day

>>13766044
It lasts about a year, in my experience. The tuning fork runs at 720hz (and the index wheel advances every half-oscillation, see the webm), and Omega designed the asymmetric fork to supposedly reduce the power consumption.

It was the most tightly-specced tuning fork watch, rated at 30spm vs the 60spm of other tuning fork watches.

>>13766085
I know it's scary how many mentally ill women are walking around.

>>13766037
Yes but there were literally hundreds of brands fitting A. Schild etc movements into watches and selling them quite cheaply. Most went under during the Quartz crisis. The high quality timepieces were still aspirational, although Rolex was more of a tool watch but because they were so good as tools they were more expensive.

>>13766014

I read somewhere that the prop department couldn't find a fitting nato in time so they thought "fuck it." and threw it on that one.

>>13766093
That's probably true, Cubby Broccoli was a fatter man than Connery so the bracelet would've been too big.

please, everyone says that about the next generation,In the 20s the flapper girls were mentally ill because they wore short hair and drank, the parents of the boomers said the bommers were all mentally ill because they wore face paint and went to woodstock in the 60s, 20 years later the boomers said their kids were mentally ill because they watched twisted sister and spiked up their hair, 20 year later if you wear easily washable out pink dye in your hair you must be skitzo with daddy issues because you have a smartphone etc...

>>13766124
>20 year later if you wear easily washable out pink dye in your hair you must be skitzo with daddy issues because you have a smartphone etc...
Nope, this generation is mentally ill, because they have no life, zombies hard-wired to their phones, who would literally die (accidental deaths while making selfies) for some instagram likes or whatever shitty social media site is popular at a given moment.

Yes, marriage stopped working in 1950 after about ten thousand years of clear sailing. Or was it ten thousand years of wife-beating?

Well, whatever, one thing is clear: nature is bad, and children are a terrible burden. Let's buy Apple products and stimulate our ambiguous genitalia with designer vibrators.

If we need a population to support us in our old age, there are less progressive people who can suddenly become progressive but not before they shoulder the horrible burden of reproduction. Which is bad, and which they shouldn't do, but which they should stop doing after we're cremated and our ashes scattered at Coachella.

So anyway, people are getting more and more sane because of vacuum cleaners and smartphones.

He used to shit post all the time (like ALL the time) I assume he was having family issues and using this as escapism) and in his year here probably only posted 10-15 photos of his gf where you can see her body shape at all..but that's all anyone ever talks about. He would shitpost about this fucking random solar seiko all the god damn time and claim he paid $450 for for it and do all kinds of goofy stuff and photoshop stripes on the crowns of all other watches and just in general be hilarious. I am sure in person he is a bretty funny guy. He would do really off the wall shit though like buy 5 of the same semi expensive watch for non reason and claim it was an investment, he would post photos of gold coins and apple products he did not appear to use. I am sure he was legit not mentally 100% well.

Reminder one time he bought an expensive 16 inch strap for a genuine Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch (meant to be worn over the space suit on the moon) and cut it down to wear with a seiko for the lulz because he has 9.5 inch wrists.

>>13766260

4/10 girls like this girl can be good companions for sure, but I don't understand why you are posting bragging pictures of her.

My sides are now on the far side of the moon which happens to be the light side of the moon as the dark side of the moon is facing us because the moon is nearly new.

>>13766345
So she's sharing your interest, just like almost all other girlfriends in the world. People tend to share at least some interests with their girlfriends. My gf shares my interests too.

Can you really say to me with a straight face that this is not horologically significant?

Personally I think windy/thoughts on/aq230nigger/ etc are all 1 schizophrenic person

>>13766576
Windy was his own poster
thoughts on, aq230, fashions shitters, shit ops etc is all tudorfag

>>13766576
I think windy came in here and set the bar for being retarded about one single watch (but when he was doing it he was making other jokes and picking up teen girls and all kinds of other stuff) and then aq230 and tudor saw him and thought "I can post one watch forever too" but they didn't realize they needed something else to go with it or a reason to be doing it and that's when windy stopped posting that stupid SNE435. Then tudor went full bead retard and got us moved here an windy and a lot of people stayed on /g/

>>13766581
No, the eco-drive faggot did that first

>>13766588
oh holy shit that was like 3 years ago i forgot about that. I bet that guy is dead.

For a general about wristwatches on one of the slower blue boards on 4chan we sure do get way way way more than our fair share of characters

Not sure what it is about wrist fedoras that attracts people with such eccentric behavior

>>13766639
Not so sure about that.
He didn't spend thousands buying the same fucking watch like you.
I do agree that presages are nice, but one is enough.

>>13766650
It's just one schizo guy with unlimited ips who admitted to also doing this in on /sp/

>>13766639

>>13766667
I bought the blue. Then preferred the white. And then stopped at brown.
Most of the others are gifts from my mom.

They match my shirts. I don’t know what the fuss is about.

>>13766662
it's not one guy, tudor and windy and others have posted various body shots and shots that show the back ground of their homes and locations on too many occasions for too long a period of time, in addition they all have different cameras (camerafag here) and live in different parts of the world I can tell by the lighting, seasons, local plant life and clothing styles

tudor is beadfag and maybe one other but that's it

I've seen them sell Timex in clothing stores frequented by 'old money' here in the Netherlands. I was actually quite surprised.

What does /wa/ think of this watch ?

>>13766844
almost as gay as all the japanese garbage in these threads

>>13765893
I don't think so, I think european old money would just wear the same luxury watch everyday like it's nothing and it would probably be an inherited watch or a graduation present
my father's boss gave out baume and mercier watches to his oldest employees at a dinner

I am submitting my (mechanically driven!) Quartz Stunner for /wt/'s approval.

thoughts?
can anyone recommend another 38mm all metal watch?

>>13766876
based

>>13766877
There are many watches fitting that description, anon, but a lot of them cost thousands of dollars. Are you looking for a cheap all metal 38mm, or just anything that size in metal, regardless of price?

>>13766895
cheap, willing to throw around 200 bucks

>>13766296

Tell me more of this man.

>>13766898
Maybe a white Mako.

>>13766876
yes based

i would like lume but that's the nicest looking spring drive imo

>>13766898
At that price point, i'd say type "seiko 5 38mm" into amazon. They make a ton of watches in a lot of varied styles at your price point and below, you can certainly find something there.

If you're willing to spend more than your budget for a more capable watch (water resistant diver, good lume) you can find an SKX013 for right around 200, and put a metal band on it yourself for another ~70 (the miltat one is good).

what made you decide on a UBoat? you're in a library, so obviously you did a lot of reading

>>13766987
For me it was mostly aesthetics. Watches these days can be dinner plates so it was nice to find something more clasically sized.

>brb, actively experiencing an automatic watch.

really though, why do watch fags turn their noses up at quartz watches as though an automatic is something that they can actually experience when they can't even see the insides of what's going on. at least with driving even though you can't see the engine in action you can at least feel and actually experience it.

am I missing something? is people's snobbery for automatic watches all just placebo in their head. the over romanticization of them seems like it's all in their imagination

>>13766982
he's larping, actual old money gentlemen hang out at country clubs and summer on their yachts, drifting from one caribbean island to the next. they do not rent apartments near-but-not-actually-in nyc and claim the SKX is an example of "pure class"

>>13767004
wow what a fascinating and fresh perspective you have, nobody has ever said anything remotely like that here ever before. you must be a very intelligent person whose insightful questions are always valued by family and friends

>>13767004
It's not a question of quartz VS automatic, it's a question of quartz VS mechanical in general. Whether that be manual or automatic wound.

Watches are little mechanical marvels, and that is enough for most people. Quartz are also interesting in their own electrical way.

>>13767004
I just think they’re neat.

>>13767003
>Watches these days can be dinner plates
what?

>so it was nice to find something more clasically sized.
also what?

what does it mean if you finally purchased that $900 watch you have been eying for months but didn't feel anything once you hit the purchase button.

don't feel excitement or buyer's remorse or anything.

my depression isn't coming back is it?

New crusty shitter day, /wt/. I've had the donor Seiko 5 on the left for a while now, and I really liked how beefy it was compared to every other Seiko 5 model. Unfortunately it's too far gone, the dial is damaged, the case is messed up, and a lot of parts in the movement are worn out, so it's only good as a donor.

So I hunted down a better example of the exact same reference. The one on the right has a flawless dial, a good, not worn-out movement, and a case that only needs a light free-hand polishing to look presentable. Also managed to get a new, parts-matching crystal for it.

Maybe next week I'll get around servicing the movement, replacing the crystal, ultrasonic cleaning the case, and also try to polish out the bezel a bit. This will be my second-to-last watch for a while, I still need to pay customs on a Pre-Bond Seamaster, and then I'm seriously done buying for at least till spring, now I really need to sell some.

>>13767049
Also even though they're the exact same reference, the two original bracelets are different. The left is a 1969 example, the right is 1970. I don't know whether I'll swap the bracelet, the right's style didn't age too well imo.

>>13767043
The void cannot be filled!

Rate my new watch, it's a swole o'clock.

>>13767004
Most people got into mechanical watches because they are interested in mechanical things. Why are you surprised that the few people in today's day and age that are into watches don't love quartz? Some people here like quartz but most don't car as much for them.

no they didn't. they went in looking for a watch then all the watch forum people kept going on about how much better the automatics are then they fall for the meme and repeat the same things to the next lot of ppl looking for a watch
