>>13771224
A Google search brought me to a bunch of Walmart reviews: A woman buying it for her husband for Father's Day, the lume not working, straps breaking off and the worst part is that these fuckers seem content with a replacement or a faulty watch.

Why is the SKX list price still so stupidly high? This is the going rate for one at a Seiko boutique in western Europe, even though they're €200,- (!!) cheaper if you get them from Asia... Don't they WANT to sell them or something?

If you're bidding on the on Yahoo jp right now I'd say anything under 1300usd is a fine deal.

>>13771496

Yahoo's auto-extension actually makes the auction process much more sensible but is a bit of a pain as a bidder.

>>13771584
Vintage omega constellation and a service

>>13771584
yeah you are pretty much stuck with a steel vintage omega in good condition and a service. Anything else is pretty much a waste of money

>>13771578
tell me something impressive about the 9983. this X*y*E*** nigger really wants that watch and my resolve is weakening.

>>13770981
Why the fuck does it say "Gaystain" on it?

>>13771601
Just make one big bid - maybe 1550USD - and then walk away. You don't have to increment one bid at a time; your competitor will keep bidding since the auction extends.

>>13771601
The 9983 is the tightest-specced Seiko ever made and third-tightest specced production wristwatch ever made (the other two of which you'll never find). The 99 series was used (all the Superiors had moved to the 9x family after the 38 and 48) because Seiko wanted to position it as the ultimate quartz watch of the era.

I'm wearing mine right now for you anon.

>>13771609
Modern watches that achieve the 5spy spec (Seiko 9F limited edition of 300 pieces, Citizen chronomaster, Longines VHP) all use digital count. The twin quartz series was the only wristwatch in history to be specced at 5spy with an analog thermocompensation technique.

>>13771613
It was the most expensive watch offered by Seiko, costing well more than the astronomical chronometer or VFA pieces

>>13771496
>Patek
>Gaudy
Patek makes some of the most boring looking watches in the world.

>>13771619
The watch has user-adjustable trimmers to adjust the average rate. Based on my lab incubator testing mine is still maintaining good temperature compensation and runs within a 5spy precision - although the mean rate has drifted over time (as all quartz watches will, as the crystal ages), the mean rate is adjustable and the precision is just as good as the day it was made.

>>13771619
>the most expensive watch offered by Seiko
wow

>>13771619
what is that when adjusted for inflation

>>13771601
keep bidding anon where are you

>>13771646
If you spot convert the JPY to USD at 1979 rates and then adjust for USD inflation it's about $3.5k. If you adjust for JPY inflation and then spot convert to USD at today's rates it's about $3.1k

fuck it there's probably something else nice for 2 grand I'm not even into quartz

>>13771584
>>13771594
This, you can get some very cool vintage watches in this range.

I would unironcnally be looking to pay this much for certain vintage seikos if they were new in the box condition from 40 years ago with the box and all paper work

>>13771665
This one is pretty nice

>>13771673
I like it!

I always wonder how these thing survive for 40-50 years new in the box, someone told me that they are mostly not actually new but there have always been watchfags and sometimes people buy watches and just literally put them in a drawer and never wear them and that's where they come from

A super nice vintage turtle is $800+, I have seen some go for $1200-$1500. How retarded am I for wanting one

>>13771679
>>13771673 is a bit more than 1-2k though, sadly

>>13771658
I hate and absolutely love this case

>>13771605
Rookie mistake, that's how you get edged out.

>>13771691
It's not as big a deal in yahoo JP as it is on ebay. If everyone just bid whatever their max bid was, it wouldn't matter in any case, but on ebay you run into the case where someone might decide to bid a little higher if they see you outbid them; that's why you wait until the last second to bid, so they can't react to seeing your bid. On yahoo JP, bidding in the last five minutes of the auction extends the auction by five minutes, so your competitors always have the ability to react to your bid anyways.

My watch is Seiko 5 actus 7019 - 7060, has an original band and everything. It was my grandfathers. Is this a good watch?

>>13771691
I was running out of enthusiasm for the bidding war around the $1k mark. Anon did a pretty good job of showcasing the non-applied-minutes reasons to have a 9983 so I went to 1.9k. imo 2k is a bit much for an old quartz watch albeit a very good one

>>13771699
You should put a Lil cactus next to it for the pun

>>13771699
that's fucking cool, anon. get it serviced and keep it running

>>13771699

>>13771710
>>13771718
That's not my actual watch I just googled it and found the only one that was the same model with the same face. Mine runs perfectly still, I think he bought it in the 70s, I wear it daily and it's 100% in working order. It sat in a draw for probably about 20 years after he died and then I found it and gave it a few wobbles back and forth and was pleased to see it still ran perfectly. I like it because no batteries or winding or anything. What would a service entail? I don't really know anything about watches.

Rate my mechanical stunner /g/

There are so many watches only 1 or 2 minor changes away from perfection it's frustrating.

>>13771747
Hmmm.... Pure class, my friend.

>>13771727
if it sat in a drawer for more than 5 years, the oils in that thing are shot. you're risking damaging parts if you run it too much like that

a service will remove and replace all the old oils. it'll probably run you $200+ USD but it'll keep the watch working for years to come

>>13771747
disposable movement/10

>>13771751
Well if they made the perfect watch you wouldn't buy watches all the time. Seiko could cheaply mimic the smooth sweep of spring dive with those viscous fluid things but why would they? That alone is reason enough not to support the Japs

>>13771768
the viscous fluid dampened seconds hand is unserviceable. wasn't it only a prototype or a special edition?

>>13771673
Is that a NOS or a remake?

>>13771762
What's the big deal if the movement is disposable? That you can't service it in 50 years because of lack of parts? I can understand that in a chink shitter it may be a problem, but in a reputable brand you can get service for decades, why does it matter if the company replaces the movement? It's probably cheaper too compared to getting the movement serviced from an actual watchmaker.

>>13771771
I asked this before and was told the watch itself is serviceable with the exception of the fluid module thingy. So yes and no

>>13771771
It wasn't a prototype or special edition; it was a regular production watch that was made for a few years.

>>13771774
It's NOS. They haven't remade a 4580-7010 lookalike.

>>13771751
>46mm diameter
>17mm thick
Just listed two more faily major things keeping the Spring Drive Marinemaster from being perfect.

>>13771777
that is a chinese movement, tho. you'll have to send it to the factory when something goes wrong and then they'll only be able to help you for as long as they have an inventory of those movements to replace it with. they're not making the movement themselves, and it's not something like an ETA drop in movement that's been made for decades. it's a new Chinese movement that the factory could decide to stop making as soon as the market shifts in a new direction.

it's fine as it is, it's a cool looking watch. but my guess is that it'll be a non-functional art piece in 10 years. if that's what you're into then enjoy the hell out of it

>>13771804
Everything will stop being made sooner or later. Even if you buy a Rolex in like 30 years it may become really hard to find pieces or to get it services. Metal pieces will wear down sooner or later.

Got my new steel cased digital. What you lads think?

>>13771852
>a Rolex in like 30 years it may become really hard to find pieces or to get it services
That seems unlikely. The 3135 is 30 this year and is still extremely easy to have serviced (it's still in current production watches, after all). The 3235 does have some more unserviceable parts than the 3135 but I wouldn't expect it to be anywhere close to unserviceable even fifty years from now.

>>13771856
Looks like shit but everyone will tell that Casio is an established brand and the F9w and variants are acceptable due to their history. The actual truth is that they're poor fag tier shitters, they're OK if you work as a carpenter or whatever, but they unironically look like shit, they're the quintessential bottom of the barrel shitters and they look god awful.

>>13772157
36? My 38mm snk looks small as fuck, how could you even read 36?? 39 looks great on you

>>13772191
Are you sure your SNK isn't 36mm?
I think I'd prefer the 36mm just because it's more of a classic size and I'm a vintage-fag

That looks good. 36 must be too small.

I bet this dude is the "thoughts on" shitposter.

Finally got an acceptable rate out of this watch, one and a half minutes in two weeks.

Still not as close as what these hi-beat electronics are capable of in theory, but these are really fucking hard to regulate until someone makes a timegrapher software that can recognize this type of escapement.

>>13772493

My timegrapher reads the rate of a cosmotron fine, even if it can't read the beat error or amplitude.

>>13772504
Yeah, the beat error is the main problem, and with the balance being heavy as fuck I think it matters a lot more than a mechanical. My other Cosmotron turned out pretty accurate though, and so did my Elnix. My West-German PUW not so much.

maxi case is the single reason I hate modern rolex. you can tell it's been designed to reflect the proportions of something that wants to stand out and be noticed, legitimately gaudy to me. the fact that the bezel is ceramic is the biggest give away to this...how the fuck is it a good idea to put a material that isn't shock resistant on a watch? oh that's right, it's scratch proof so you'll never get a ding on your beautiful man jewelry. the older ones were clearly professional items made for people who wanted to pay a premium for something that would last them their entire lives, no matter where they wore them. maxi case just screams "we know you'll pay out the arse for this, because all the rappers and middle easterners are too"

>>13772750
Does your hate for modern Rolex ruined vintage models for you?
I basically agree with you and I’m kinda looking for a vintage Datejust but I’m thinking modern Rolex has tarnished its brand completely.

>>13772785
>Does your hate for modern Rolex ruined vintage models for you?
no not at all. what ruins vintage models for me is the absolutely ludicrous second hand market that's only making it more difficult to acquire a good example of anything pre-1990. the prices are just too high. I was looking into getting a nice 1675 about 3 years ago (pic related) but unfortunately external circumstances put that off; at the beginning of this year i started to entertain the idea again and did some research, lo and behold what was once a 4-6K USD watch is now going for well above 10K. I understand how markets work, but fucking hell is it annoying.

if we disregard the market for a moment and just talk about vintage rolex in general, i think they're absolute stunners. the designs and proportions were absolutely spot on, and it's amazing to me that watches from as far back as the 50s can be found in immaculate condition and functioning perfectly, really a testament to what rolex has done. again part of the reason i prefer them is i remember a day when they were just very expensive enthusiast items, sort of like how an expensive camera is today, you pay a premium for real quality and the results speak for themselves.

I don't mean to give offense, but if your question was "recommendations for a dress watch", you are probably not in a position to avoid being scammed by a frankened, redialed, beat up watch in the vintage space. Make sure you do your research before you buy. There's a pastebin on buying used watches you may want to read.

>>13773251
No pls, at least make it a 56x/60x/61x/75x series.

>>13773346
are those the correct hands are correct original case finishing?

Could one with no watchmaker knowledge build a diver with a decent movement sourcing parts from eBay for less than 80USD?

I often find NH36's on eBay for around 30$... Then I could just buy a cheapo watch with a decent case that fits the movement... I don't care for screw down crowns... Then a lumed Seiko dial from an SKX... and job done. This has to be possible, right?

I just don't justify paying 150 for a watch with the same movement as my 70 dollar SNK809.

if you find a case that fits the movement you like for your price range, then yes it's only a matter of your technical skill to not scratch or bump the dial and hands and movement when you're moving it into the case. also your attention to detail to pull off all the lint. it'll get more complicated if you have to change the crystal, crown, or dial or hands

>>13773368
I just want a good looking watch with a decent movement (hacking & handwind), day-date function, diver bezel... I don't care for screw-down crowns, I just wanna know if this is possible to DIY.

>>13773361
You know bare movements usually come unlubricated, right?

Hey guys, I recently acquired my first Vostok, a Komandirskie ref# 531124. I've been really enjoying the watch so far, but the stock strap is awful. Any suggestions? It has 18mm lugs.

>>13773386
why unlubricated? and how do i lubricate them?

>>13773395
OK based on this my answer to >>13773361 is no, you cannot.

>>13773396
Why you say that?

>>13773404
Because I have concluded you do not have the expertise to properly lubricate a watch movement.

>>13773388
Go on cheapnatostraps.com
Go on the clearance sale section
Pick a handful
Enjoy

>>13773408
Thank you!

>>13773407
No I haven't. But can't I just buy a lubricated movement off eBay?

>>13773416
Ya Indian sellers usually have a good deal

>>13773416
please livestream yourself trying to attach dial feet and set hands on a cannon pinion, this is going to be hilarious.

Cheapnato straps suck ass. I bought three and I really think the quality and sizing is shit. The side of the leather strap is really low quality work because you can see the two layers have just been lightly glued over. The high quality was is to actually fold the leather on the top layer over the sides and use pressure to mold the shape. In China they can do this for straps that cost $4 to produce, yet these dirty fucking swedecucks are selling you shit for $10 at a 400% markup

>>13773442
Do you have any recommendations?

Cheapnatostrapo on top. Timex Waterbury classic factory strap on bottom. You can see the cheap finishing on the cheapnatostrap where the side of the strap is not leather but synthetic glue! What the fuck

>>13773446
Hirsch is wonderful value.

>>13773446
No I haven't tried any other aftermarket straps. Thinking of starting my own and doing high quality stuff for like $25 a strap for generic genuine cow and $60-80 for italian Lambskin or exotic leathers. Can also do digital printing on leather now which no one seems to have done already

>>13773456
Ah yes, a strap 5x the cost of the watch. Perfect!

>>13773460
I'm talking about their $30 straps

>>13773457
these are some swatch-tier strap aesthetics

>>13773469
yeah the printed stuff is going to be directed at men who like colorful NATO straps and women who buy fashion watches. I'm personally more interested in the super high end leathers for a decent price

>>13771145

>Four bracelets

Jesus what a faggot

>>13771372

Lmao I just bought a j for 250 usd

I like minimalism, brass, and smallish watches, so I keep ending up in gender-neutral territory.
Does this watch look neutral or feminine?

>>13773543
Neutral.
Too bad the case feels like shit.

>>13773628
How so?

>>13773442
The nylon straps are great. It's 5-7$ for one. It's not meant to last forever.

>>13772237
Great taste.
Now that I've gotten a hold of a better camera I don't even feel like posting pictures I took of my a914.
It's so scratched and ugly I would rather not. At least you take good care of yours.

>>13771864
>t. wears an invitica

>>13773635
I went to the mall and tried one.
It feels cheap.

>>13773703
of course it feels cheap, it's a timex. who tries on a timex?

>he doesn't wear vostok amphibia

>>13773859
I'm still waiting for mine you fucking frog! Why is Russia so far away?

>>13771602
Close. It's says captain.

>>13773864
>he didn't pay $350 for next day shipping

My absolute beater, still kickin after being abused repeatedly, I respect the watch for what I paid for it and people still compliment me and say “Hey, nice watch” even though I know its actually not nice.

>>13773938
>even though I know its actually not nice

>>13773859
My Amphibia's my main watch till I get my Seiko serviced

Would it kill you guys to buy American?

>>13773944
>charging $1250 for a hacking lever
I want to like RGM but shit like that doesn't make it easy.

Any of you lads got a Datejust? I’m deciding with reference to get. The 16013 seems a bit too dressy for me so think 1603...? I’m confused.

>>13774016
Get a linen dial 1601 m8.

>>13772960
You can hear it ticking from a mile away

do americans use terms like "beater", "shitter" and such irl too? do actual horologists use them or is it an internet thing

>>13774044
Beater is common, shitter is common only on ac3 channel and 4chan

>>13774044 (checked)
You should be asking that about TGV-isms like "strap monster".

>>13774022
That's the most beautiful vintage Datejust I've ever seen. It's almost like a Seiko King Quartz.

>>13774044
"Shitter" is a term originating from Australia. It was coined by the famous horologist Archibald Chesterfield III.

Should I buy it? The price is cool

>>13774117
kill yourself

>>13773783
I wanted to see it.
The fuck is wrong with you?

>>13774119
Im poor, anon.

recommend me a nice type a style flieger

has to be quartz though

Morning, lads.
Have a great weekend.

>>13774137
Thanks hammybro, you too ^_^

>>13774137
>falling for the hamilton shitter meme

I weep for thee.

>>13774171
What meme? Never heard of it.

>>13774171
Let the man a break, maybe he bought the shitter because he is saving for a proper watch like a patek nautilus chrono.

>>13774181
>going from a hamilton to a patek

If you walk into an AD with a hamitlon they won't even get the patek out of the case for you.

>>13774183
Then take the fucking shitter off before you go.
I personally own a only a f91w and I'm saving up for a Royal Oak 14k gold as my first real watch.

>>13774186
>I got a casio but I'm saving $60,000 for my royal oak

Sad.

>>13774191
It is the only reasonable strategy.
I aim for a two watch collection, perfectly balanced.
f91 is the shitter and beater for all the shitty tasks and sports.
The Royal Oak will be my casual every day watch and the watch for special occasions.
Why buy more of those fuckings shitters? They just prolong the time till you get your real watch.

>>13774195
>only reasonable strategy

The reasonable strategy would be to buy a watch you can afford.

If it's more than two months salary, it's too much for you.

One beefy boi.

Only it's not quite done yet. I still need to do something about the crystal, because it's badly scratched. Only problem is this is the same crystal that goes into the 6105 divers, so surviving NOS crystals are like $250.

Also the real problem for now is that the cannon-pinion is slipping, the hands stay in place more often that not. On top of that I have shit amplitude after service, but my guess is the slipping cannon pinion is actually braking the geartrain, as opposed to when it's coupled by friction properly. So it's like the movement is constantly being backwound.

>>13774216
>that watch
>that bracelet

jesus fucking christ.

>>13774216
Next to a customer's perfectly average Seiko 5. It's quite beefier, 40mm as opposed to 36mm.

>>13774220
>>>/fa/
Oh wait...

I fond this one and I'm going to give it to my wife after I clean it. Does anyone know anything about this watch?

>>13774226
>Cunny
Is you wife eight years old, Muhammad?

>>13774226

Also found this Seiko in the lot, gonna keep it for myself.

>>13774044
I think if somebody said "nice watch" and you replied "thanks but its just a shitter" anybody would know what you meant

>>13774227
Yes

>>13774205
>If it's more than two months salary, it's too much for you.

So this is the metric you folks go by around here. This actually expands my horizons quite a bit.

>>13774230
eww, why would you keep that?

>>13774132
good reason to end the suffering

>>13774242
i don't get it either, it's not even HBA

>>13774242
I like old digital watches.

>>13774251
>I like old digital watches.
Back to /g/

Old-ass Arogno 152 from a 50-60 year old Cornavin. These were basic bitch sub-seconds movements, and at this age I thought it was going to be shit, but it does 290°-300° on the timegrapher, with a nice clean straight line.

>>13774275
Here's how it looks right. I'll let it run a few more days so the oils can spread.

These were originally equipped with a mainspring made from the old blue alloy that would have weakened completely by now, but at some point a more modern white mainspring was put in it by someone. Hence the pretty good amplitude.

what's the watch of choice for NPCs?

>>13774275
>>13774277
This is post service?

>>13774282
Fossil.

>>13774216
Use polywatch on acrylic crystals. If there are deep gashes you need to sandpaper the whole crystal down and then use polywatch

>>13774283
Yeah. I'm putting on the hands now.

Wait... what fucking picture is that? I meant to post this.

>>13774287
Thanks NPC.

>>13773859
>>13774119
>>13774258

>>13773944
They don't have anything 100% American yet, least that I know of, haven't checked in a while.
Either way it's gonna be 10,000 bucks when they finally do, and even though I want a well made all American watch, for that price I'd get the JLC moon phase that gives me boners.
Plus most of RGM's styles are a little over the top.

Why don't we get more tachymeters on TV dials. I really like how it looks for some reason.
