/fa/ - Fashion

Good morning wt.

Finally got this running. The hairspring had jumped out from between the regulator pins. Coaxed it back in there and running fine.

>>13834702
Picture of hairspring before the fix - supposed to be between those two pins, not outside them. Also cleaned up whatever gunk was in there.

Just switched from the bracelet to this NATO, does it work or no?

>>13834709
Durrr forgot pic

>>13834702
>That patina

Reminded me of the time I saw some slav selling a soviet shitter with ALL of the chrome plating sanded off as a gold watch

Thoughts?

What do you think of Hodinkee?
Is he a pretentious cunt who sucks up the to industry or does he actually produce good unbiased content?

>>13834713
Yeah, it's in a state. Still, as a souvenir from a vacation good to have it running.

Hey guys, would this strap look stupid on my Raketa?

Are pre-Bond Seamasters considered shitters or not? I'm tempted to get one as my first serious (i.e. above Seiko-tier) watch.

>>13834871
They're great

Aw shit bitch, it's my collection again come to fuck shit up in dis thread.

Show me a more tasteful watch, I dare you

>>13834910
Post collection boys.

>>13835071
I dig it. Classy pieces in here.

>>13835071
New picture soon ish

>>13835071
Where did you get the Seiko SBPG001 and how much did you pay?

>>13835012
i'd say this is similarly tasteful

>>13835148
I bought two for £500.

>>13835071

Tfw 1 watch

>>13835273
I drop some money on one, but I worry that you can't change the solar panel inside once it dies.

>>13835283
Isn’t it the capacitor that fails?

>>13835279
Nice. Is that real?
They look so so much better without the train tracks running around the dial.

>>13835314
Idk, I just know that they do fail, and it concerns me the idea of spending 3 times as much as a g shock for a better looking less durable g shock. Don't get me wrong, it looks like a sweet watch, but a vintage solar watch, that makes me wonder if it can be repaired, especially when it's that old and could break any time. It's not like a mechanical where you can repair it infinitely.

>>13835317
Nah he’s a poser, pathetic really

>>13835317

You mean the fluted Bezel? Some like it, some don't, the smooth bezel shows scratches so much more. I've been wearing the fluted bezel / Jubilee bracelet combo daily for 9 months and it still looks new.

>>13835321
It’s like 8 years old.

>>13835354
Nono I was saying yours looks nice. As it doesn’t have the minute markers like this.

>>13835360

Ahh i see. I believe the 36mm have this but not the 41, looks a lot cleaner without

>>13835354
That’s fake?

>>13835367

If these fake factories can turn out perfectly machined flutes like this i'll eat my watch.

>>13835367
No, idiot.

>>13835374

>>13835456
Show us how bad the cyclops actually looks like faggot

>>13835685
ARF DateJusts have accurate cyclops but terrible datewheels

>>13835694
That’s fair enough. I like to steer clear of fakes because I don’t think I can pull them off. Maybe a fake sub or GMT but no flashy datejusts or yatchies.
I can buy real ones, but when you’re making 50k a year, why spend half of it on a watch? I like having nice things, but I’d rather save and then have fun money.

As always

Taking a break from buying watches for now.

Tell me why I shouldn't buy a Baofeng, and maybe get a ham license later on.

>>13835614
>people are this upset they're poor
I bet you buy soviet garbage and think you're unique

>>13835753
You're 100% right.

>>13835752
What are you using it for

>>13835752
If you live in the US should get one before they are out of stock
FCC probably won't bother if you broadcasts without a license on non important channel, but you still shouldn't
Get your license

>>13835759
At first I'm planning to at least catch the ISS (they operate a ham station aboard), and trying to decode stuff like RTTY, SSTV, and weather fax with software. I already sometimes listen to websdr stuff, and feed it into fldigi:

http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

Also my grandpa was a ham operator, and all his gear is just catching dust now. I already restored all of his watches, I guess this is how I carry on his memory, by using all the mechanical/electronic stuff he did.

>>13835753
I buy exclusively Casios

>>13835788
I'm European, it looks to me the continent isn't nearly as populated anymore by hams as the US, though the former USSR seems to be very active.

>buying Jap watches ever
disgusting... vicious... SHITTERS

>>13835647
nice! i'm always on the fence about getting one of these

>>13835753

>Also my grandpa was a ham operator, and all his gear is just catching dust now.
Go buy a Baofeng, get a license, and use your grandpa's gear
If you don't like it you only wasted like 25 bux

>>13835893
Yeah, also he had a locally-produced version of the Soviet R-154 Molibden military radio. I powered this fucker up, and went through all the circuit test modes (there's a chart printed on the case for the correct setup and values), and most tubes are still good.

Great watch

So why does everybody hate tag heuer?

>>13836402
Cool. The screw down crown is a nice touch to inspire confidence in the WR rating.

>>13836408
How is the accuracy?

>>13836271
What manner of douchbaggery is this? What's next? A corkscrew for the vino?

The glass on my watch broke, what should I do with it

>>13836700
replace it, obviously

>>13836706
Is it worth it? I only paid $100 for the watch.

I'm looking for a watch that will stay accurate for months/years, but doesn't use GPS or other services. Any recommendations?

>>13836720
The most accurate modern production wristwatches are rated 5 seconds per year, made by both Longines and Citizen. The Longines can be had for under $1k; the Citizen is a bit nicer for under 2k. Citizen also plans to release a 1spy watch in the next year or two; most HAQ collectors expect it to cost in the 5k or 6k range.

Hoptroff made watches with chip-scale atomic clocks (CSAC); they actually had tiny cesium-based atomic clocks inside. They were rated 1 second per millennium. Sadly he's stopped production so they're hard to find.

>>13836734
>1spy
Speaking of these super accurate watches, how do they deal with shit like daylight savings? In other words how do the HAQ autists keep measuring how accurate their watches are when they need to reset them twice a year?

>>13836745
Most high-end quartz watches (not the Seiko 9F, except their recent GMT) have independently-adjustable hour hands for DST and timezone changes. You can change the hour without affecting timekeeping. Both the Longines and Citizen 5spy watches have this.

I am considering getting the Kent Wang v4 Bauhaus for my next watch, but part of me wonders if $395 for a Miyota 9015 is worth it.

Is there a better option for that price range?

>>13836758
Nothing wrong with a 9015 at that price to be honest.

>>13836761
Thanks, just want to make sure I’m not a total moron

>>13836720
Grand Seiko 9f quartz +/- 10 seconds a year

>>13836917
> 10spy when a $400 dolce manages 10spy, a $750 longines manages 5spy with IAHH, and an under $2k citizen manages 5spy with IAHH and a comparable level of finishing

>>13836957
That's their rating on the box. I have never seen anyone with rate near that high.
But your right across the board there. I want the new Citizen movement in a watch already.

>>13836957
You need to educate yourself on the 9f movement. You have prediabetes because you spend your time eating too many potato chips in mommy's basement and trolling on a Taiwanese basket weaving forum. Here's a resource: https://youtu.be/htH9Vcs4Tec

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO WTG ON /g/?

What style of perforated leather strap do you think would look good this watch?

https://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/collections/racing-watch-bands

thinking of getting it from here since they sell 19mm ones and the price is pretty good. link me to which style you think looks best

or what type of strap in general do you think would look good with this. currently just have a black NATO with the two grey stripes

is the sbbn033 a meme?

I have grown to really love the look and now it's all I think about.

should I get this $1000 quartz watch?

>>13837476
I kinda regret I didn't have the balls to get a patrician quartz-tuna and instead got an automatic.

Other than that I love my Baby-Tuna.

>>13837493
yeah I was looking at those but feel as though I would never be satisfied

>>13837476
I love my baby tuna.

Is it wrong that I like watches but I also don't go after them like y'all? I wear my skx007 all day everywhere and think it is right for everywhere. I am just an asshole, right? Anons?

>>13835273
>>13837214
This thing is sick. Just ordered one.

What are some good watch sites and blogs for the attainable category? Under $1000 prices

>>13834695
i have fallen for the kopernik meme

>>13837467
Personally I think it would look sick on a milanese but I'm a pervert

Help me choose, a/wt/ists.

>Turtle

>>13837686

>Or Samurai

>>13837691
It's your watch, choose whichever you love the most... if you like them both equally then pick one up now and the other when you can afford it. (personally I prefer turtle)

>>13837703
actually no I changed my mind I think the samurai is nicer lol

>>13837703
>>13837708
This is my problem, I keep flipping back and forth. I love the hands and the bezel on the samurai but I'm not so much of a fan of the very angular case and crownguards. The turtle on the other hand looks retro and may work with my style better, and I've heard the cushion case is comfy af. They're both quite large but I've heard the turtle wears a bit small due to the nature of the case. Do you think I could get away with either with a 6.7in wrist?

>>13837727
I own neither so I can't really say, there are probably people in this thread that own both and can advise you better. I love the angular crownguards and case, I think it ties in well with the bezel and the hands giving the watch quite an aggressive look. Shame i'm a total basedboi wirstlet who probably couldn't wear either comfortably.

>>13837686
>>13837691
Samurai looks better it's not even close

>>13837727
I've tried on both and on a 6.5 in wrist the turtle fits comfier, although I like the orange samurai aesthetics more. The turtle silicon strap is the nicest stock strap on a seiko I've tried on. So in short Im in the same boat as you constantly going back and forth daily

>>13837775

Good morning wt

>>13834830
Good morning, brainlet. If you are wearing dress pants as a woman, or a skirt, wearing huge bulky underwear will show right through. Obviously you do not know women’s dress... yet here you are in a fashion thread saying stupid shit.

Morning.

>>13837550
What’s the nicest citizen ever made? Do they still do expensive ones?

>>13834794
perfect

>>13837884
The nicest pre-crisis citizen was the Glorious Citizen, positioned as a Grand Seiko competitor. It had a 36k mechanical balance and was specced in between Grand Seiko and VFA specs.

>>13835090
whats your next chinese watch cop?

>>13837884
>>13837907
The nicest vintage citizen quartz might be the 4 mega. It is the tighest credibly specced non-csac wristwatch in history at 3spy and while its level of finishing did not approach that of the GC, the finishing was decent and the quality of the watch was in its technical merit.

>>13837884
>>13837913
The nicest modern mechanical citizen is probably their recent tourbillon, likely actually made by hajime asaoka.

>>13837909
Probably a maison Celadon at some point but it's not a big priority.

>>13837884
>>13837921
The nicest modern quartz citisen is probably their recent chronomaster, although I expect the upcoming cal 0100 watch to take that title once it's released. >>13836957

>>13837884
>>13837926
Finally as a kind of honorable mention the rare citizen 8810, a haq watch with a 115,200 bph balance wheel, which is as far as I'm aware the fastest used for primary timekeeping in any production wristwatch in history.

>>13837942
Buy one and post slomo

>>13837793
Hey, how goes? Any new watches recently?

>>13837952
That strap color not good

>>13837962
Eh, it's more like navy in real life. The level adjustment in Lightroom mobile lightened it too much realities to how it actually looks.

>>13837947
If I'd ever seen one for sale I'd already own one.

>>13837952
A few. Completed the vintage 5spy Seiko collection with a 9481 and a 9681 (to go with the 9983). An incoming slava transistor, an unauthorized knockoff of the accutron 214. I almost picked up a junghans haq radio watch at watchbuys NYC but the second hand slop was just too much. How about you?

>>13837972
>I almost picked up a junghans haq radio watch at watchbuys NYC but the second hand slop was just too much.
That's too bad, I was really considering one.

As for me, I've only bought a couple of G-Shocks lately because I needed a couple watches I could wear while working on casting resin, and wouldn't have to worry about damaging.

>>13837980
I will probably still get one, it may have been that specific example. Looks and fits great.

How much smaller would your collection be if you had only bought watches you know you could sell for more if you wanted to get rid of them?

In other words, post your greatest cops only.

>>13838061
Watches aren't investments fuck off

I don't enjoy watches because I think I'm going to make money on them. The pieces I'm most excited about owning I generally pay above market for. Probably the only thing that would meet your criteria would be this stopwatch that was in a lot with something I actually wanted, and that I then sold for $90 at a charity auction.

>>13838115
A speedy looks good on everything.
Just look around for what suits you best
Though I don't see why you would ever take it off the bracelet, the bracelet is the best look by far

The GS 9F is far more accurate than the specifications given by GS my dude.

Most people report that they easily fall within +/-5spy. I have personally seen one do +3spy with a guy who worse it as a daily. It was fucking amazing.

>>13837793

>>13837686
>>13837691
Own a turtle, it's a little too big for my 6.75 inch wrists, I couldn't get away with the much larger samurai

Also note that the turtle has the bigger modding market

>>13838270
Its a vager hauers shi Chen. It uses a miyota 8x movement. The slaved 24 hour sundial displays time using an old Chinese timekeeping system that divided the day into twelve 2-hour periods based on the zodiac. It's a fun watch, finishing is decent enough considering its low price.

>>13838252
Are you saying the same is not also true of the citizen? A chronomaster I'm aware of is within a third of a second after 3 months.

>>13838234

>>13838381
Your subjective pleb opinions mean nothing kid.
It is the better watch and if you can't acknowledge it you can just fuck off.

>>13837984
Let me know if another one avoids the issue. With how much I'm going to have to be wearing G-Shocks while I work for the next several months, I've started looking for a radio sync or HAQ analogue watch with stylish and external finishing I don't find revolting.

>>13838398
Why are you even comparing them you vapid cunt? They're completely different.

>>13838423
>Being this much of a brain dead muggle
They are both fucking solar lcd watches with multiple functions and radio sync packed in a attractive package.
That is their man fucking point you idiot, the Casio just does it better.
The Seiko is an okay watch, but stop defending it that much, you'll just shame yourself more.

>>13838415
If I get one I'll post it with my thoughts.

>>13838208
but why?

>>13838468

>>13838503

Nice replaying to yourself there

How is the gshock bait? Sure the gold model is effeminate, but the stainless steel one is spot on.
Maybe it would be better with a matte finish though.

I really want an SKX031 but can't find any good examples. Are these rare or something?

>>13838556
It's a discontinued model, so all the ones on the market are either used or NOS.

>>13838564
Urgh. There's a polished one on Ebay and it's £275 with no strap or bracelet...
Buyee has two but I can't really understand the translation and they're like £240 with a bracelet.

Okay, I said fuck it and got some Superluminova, and a new bezel insert is on the way. I don't care if vintage-austists sperg out that I bricked the "value" of an original-condition watch (it's a fucking quartz Pre-Bond ffs), part of a restoration process involves replacing old, worn or non-functional parts.

Being someone who usually just wears the g-shock 5610 out of convenience, because no winding, exact time, and the chronograph, I'm glad that I could finally find a watch which is essentially the same thing but smaller less construction worker looking.

It's essentially Casio A168WA-1 if it was solar powered from what it appears. It looks like a leaner version of the Casio, with less junk written on the dial. It's surprisingly difficult to find a sensible looking solar powered atomic digital watch. Most of them look bulky and stupid, hardly any of them have a simple and clean look. That's what strikes me about the Seiko sbpg001. What a pity it's out of print and was probably never in production that long. Common sense isn't that common.

This is a mean gem. I'm glad that I decided to look in this thread today. Ordered one on Ebay this morning.

Whats the appeal of one piece watch straps? Seems thick.

>>13838839
You mean watches with clasps instead of buckles? You can adjust the length and then snap it on without needing to adjust to the correct hole every time.

Hey guys, just dug up my dad's old watches and was wondering if they're worth anything.

If I read correctly they read (left to right) :
1. Seiko 7800 - 5349 R (number 030453)
2. Seiko 5931-5200 (number 160063)
3. Darwil Execution Soignee 68 (159650 - 7041)

I assume the numbers relate to model number (and # each of those watches were produced).

I think Darwil one looks pretty nice and was considering restoring it.

>>13838848
Pretty sure he means natos and perlons etc

And for those the appeal is the simplicity and the security for the watch in the case of a spring bar failure.

>>13838855
Yep, that’s the only one I would bother with out of these

>>13838861
>>13838839
Oh. In that case, the history of Nato straps goes to the military. The design is such that if one of the springs fails then the other spring will still hold it on. It still exists mainly because of the benefit of added security, but it could also have an aesthetic I dunno.

Why do 1000% of atomic solar digital watches have stupid looking childish designs?

>>13838882
Because u gay nigguh

>There are people who actively seek the Seiko instead of the Chad Casio.

>>13838922
I'd get a metal g shock if they lowered the price. It's a huge gimmick right now.

>>13838940
they're pretty much totally sold out anyway

Seriously, the metal g shock goes for like 800-1000 dollars new. Do you know what kind of tech goes into it? It's basically the GW-5000-1JF with metal housing. That is a 300 dollar watch. Metal housing does NOT cost 500 dollars to apply instead of the plastic shell this watch normally uses. I would pay 500 dollars for the metal g shock, but as it is, right now it's milking you because they know everyone wants the fucking metal g shock. I paid 388 for the Seiko sbpg001. A bit much, in my opinion, but well worth it considering what this watch is, it's rarity, and the fact that there's literally no digital solar atomic watches with sensible, clean, simple dials besides it. Plus it has that retro 2001 Space Odyssey look, very cool.

>>13838708
I look forward to reading about you ruining the watch when you relume it :^)

>>13838922
I loathe the polished parts of the steel G-Shock or I'd have bought one. The SBPG001 is all brushed, which I prefer.

>>13838974
Brushed steel g vs the seiko, which one would you prefer?

>>13839006
>>13838974
Tell him you prefer the steel g-shock to make him feel better about paying for an over priced square.

To people who have bought orient rays, have you gotten a misaligned chapter ring? I know it is common with seiko but I have heard it happening with orient too, might buy a raven

>>13839006
I'd buy both. The tech in the G-Shock is newer, and the chunkier styling is fun, but the SBPG001 makes a better low profile everyday watch.

Current market value of a sarb035?

>>13836423
im still trying to figure this out too

Accuracy was +15 a day. Get a haveston nato. So comfortable

>>13836423
No good reason at all. It's one of the best brands out there.

>>13836423
They use generic eta movements so the criticism is that they are case makers instead of watch makers.

>>13838827
How much did you pay?

>>13838882

>>13838882

>>13839508
Brushed>polished>bead blasted
The blasting makes it look like plastic.

Alright, here's how the dial looks with the original lume. As you can see at 12 and 9, the lume isn't exactly a perfect rectangle with sharp corners to begin with. This is at least the level of precision I need to reach with the relume. I already took off 2 and 5 as a test, and also cleaned the minute hand.

Also I don't mind it not being all cool vintage piss yellow anymore as long as it's bright in the dark.

thoughts on a sinn 356?

should I get this or a sbbn033?

>>13839938
388 US dollars.

Lol. I got mine on buyee for £180

Hello fellow Balkaner

what watch strap should I get for pic related?

what are some decently priced leather ones? preferably ones with those rivets?

>>13840064
It depends on whether you want a quartz dive watch or an automatic chronograph.
It's like asking
>thoughts on a Mustang? Should I get this or an F250?
They're both transportation but built for very different things with different styling etc.

Is there anything better than the SARB035 in the $400 price range?

>>13840369
The Hamilton khaki handwind with the eta 2801

>>13840378
Does it come in cream? I already have a black field style watch and I want something lighter for daily wear.

>>13840123
Good for you? I bet you bought a g shock steel square too. Out about several hundred in value on your end. Oh, and don't forget about your rolex. Not to mention it's a rare vintage watch

>>13840401
Buyee is a gold mine for Seikos.

>>13840433
You know, I've regretted not bidding harder on that double dick seiko a few weeks back. the 200k yen is still just sitting in the zenmarket account.

>>13840443
Well, at least that's one competitor out of the way. Assuming they weren't a dealer, the next one may be cheaper.

I’m surprised these aren’t more popular.
They look great.

I dunno man. The double dick was a pretty expensive watch in its day

My SNK looks pretty wild right now.

That's true. Some gold-digging Jap ladies in 1976.

>>13840674
> 1976
> 9983
If you don't know what you're talking about why say anything at all?

>>13840710
They existed in 1976 did they not?

>>13840433
What's that lord on the left, got mine coming soon. A 0852-8001.

>>13840734
It's a shitter that's what it is

>>13840729
No. The 9983 was released in 1978.

>>13840734
It says on the dial, you dolt.

>>13840750
who cares? not him but why are you vintage quartz fags acting uppity? when you own a few jlc patek, rolex etc you can act that way

>>13840786
I'll try not to rise above my station. How much money do I have to spend on watches before I'm good to talk about them?

>>13840842
What is the code and diameter? I don’t really like divers below 40mm

>>13840849
7S26-0050
It's a ~38mm watch best suited for wristlets like myself.

>>13835656
are you saying that because you know, or just to be a dick? Genuinely curious!

>>13840981
Look at the fluting on the bezel, compare it to another pic posted in this thread and it's obvious.

Post pics of you grabbing your gfs wrist while she wears a watch.

>>13841263
Get the fuck out of here you normy piece of shit.

>>13841263
>tfw no horology gf

I'm kinda burned out on mechanical watches. Way too expensive, they actually do have to be serviced, they always require setting the time and winding the watch, and there's not a whole lot of variety in terms of watches for smaller wrists, aka 40mm and under when you're in the market for anything that's not expensive.

Plus they all share an ETA movement, so I feel like I'm buying the same watch if I get something like a Tissot, Victorinox, Reinhart, Laco, or anything else you can get for 500 - 1000 dollars. And the only watch which was a decent diameter from Seiko was the Alpinist and they discontinued it. I have one watch with an ETA movement, the Christopher Ward Trident Bronze 38mm version, and one Seiko movement watch, the Alpinist.

I really want to get into electric power watches, because I feel like I have the best of the non-in-house movement watches. My budget is pretty much under 1000 dollars for anything I purchase.

>>13840546

Really liking the citizen quartz. Any other fancy quartz watches worth getting? I've been thinking about getting a Junghans Chronograph quartz.
>>13838715
Which eco drive model is that?

Have a seiko turtle that im considering flipping and putting towards a tuna sbbn033.


I'm just not loving the turtle as much as I thought I would (had a SKX before that which i prefered I think)

>>13841263
do you grab girls wrists to compare it to your dick girth

>>13841290
>really want to get into electric power watches
>Any other fancy quartz watches worth getting?
I can post a bunch tonight; let me know more specifically what you're interested in.

>>13841332
Classy, beautiful, maybe "dressy" is the right word. Some of those Seikos up there look absolutely regal.

I like that old school style sort of look, none of the sporty tech, post-modern nonsense that is made today.

>>13841348
I mean what are you interested movement tech wise.

>>13841290
vostok amphibia

>>13841358
Well, day date is definitely important, at least date if the watch is beautiful enough to justify no day/date. Water resistance of at least 100 meter. Sapphire glass. A battery which lasts more than a couple years (I know that that's a stretch to find any watch that has that and would drastically narrow the choices, so that's not essential). I usually like some shock resistance, but obviously it doesn't need to be a g shock or anything. Just so I know if I bump it against something it won't break. These are some of the specs I look for in mechanicals, all my mechanicals besides my chronos have shock resistance, but again, if the watch is unique and cool enough that's not essential.

>>13841369
I have one lol. Thinking about getting a couple more some time. I want a scuba dude with a blue/green dial and an orange silicone strap. I also want the one with the tank on it. I have one which doesn't have a date function on it, which I kind of regret because I actually would use the watch more if it had a date function.

>>13841373
Based. I think the red star makes me look like a member of antifa though.

>>13841358
And also, I doubt that there's many watches that fit the description, but I am a huge fan of solar power and radio control, which is why the Seiko SBPG001 is a dream come true. I end up using my G-Shock 5610 most because it's so convenient, but I need something better looking.

>>13841380
Lol nice. Yeah don't go looking like Antifa. You'll fall into the star wars trash compactor of things which are too offensive to say and next thing you know you'll have a hoard of people telling you you're a sociopath. Just take my word for it.
