Is a G Shock a good addition to my collection if I want a durable casual watch?

>>13888174
No. Grow up, retard.

Ignore this >>13888164 people, we get these rascals every once in a while

>>13888174
Yes, if you want you can just get the iconic basic square for 40. Or get weird with it, any of them should be good, can beat the shit out of them

Looking at a few Grand Seiko. Thoughts? Looking for either a pure quartz or spring drive. Would like the snowflake but it is too big.

>>13888187
There are a few with neat dials but honestly I'd just wait a couple years to see if they do anything as cool as the snowflake, just on a smaller watch. Feels like that is the only GS people reeeeaaallyyy care about so far

>>13888187
Get one of these then.

The deleted thread was better.
Sucks to have a mentally handicapped person having this much free time.

>>13888237
This thread just started

>>13888241
No shit, wikileaks

>>13888242
wasn't sure if you knew

Any opinions on the Omega 8500? Is coaxial escapement a meme excuse to make it harder for nonomega servicing? Does look like it has some nice additional upgrades besides that to me.

>>13887824
The 19xx really doesn't get talked about enough considering how special it really is. To my knowledge it's the only series produced ladies sized 36k VPH movement ever made. The VFA version in all likelihood has to have been the most tightly accuracy specced ladies sized mechanical movement in the pre-quartz period.

Visited local watch store for the first time hoping to find a good deal. Everything they had sucked. Sad.

>>13888296
Thanks for the tweet

>>13888296
Didn't realize people still did watch stores. I'd expect it to just be macys and then specific dealers by now

I need the discord link

>>13888309
they might have it on reddit

>>13888130
Kol's thread got deleted?
Why?

>>13888308
It was technically a watch repair shop but they also resold used watches.

Can anyone help me ID this watch? Is it a replica?

>>13888313
Cool, I'll wait for you to retrieve it and post it here
Thank you in advance for the discord link

>>13888324
You mean fake, and if by some miracle it isn't it's absolutely hideous anyway.

are watch winders a meme?

>>13888285
I was surprised how well it ran. It and the citizen 5800 make an interesting pair from the period.

Is Swatch group still boicotting Baselworld or what?

>>13888339
I mean they work so no? But winding any setting takes 2 seconds so yeah?

>>13888324
Surely you're joking. It's a horrendous fake. Let me guess a paki somewhere is offering it to you for $10

>>13888272
Repeat of dis question. Still curious if anyone has thoughts.

>>13888350
I mean people say it's bad to just let your autos remain dormant, just concerns me because I can go a month or 2 without wearing one

>>13888364
Oh yeah. If you have a big rotation of watches it makes sense. Forgot about that. I'm a 1 watch guy m

>>13888364
There's nothing wrong with leaving a watch for a few months. If anything keeping it constantly running is just wearing the movement more than is necessary.

>is wearing down your watch prematurely, just so you dont have to set it once in a while a meme?

These things are only useful if you have some gay complications like moonphase or a watch with no quick date set feature. I'd not let my watch run all the time.

Also, pic unrelated but it's the cutest ana digi watch ever. I love the proportions of the face and the numbers.

>>13888429
That watch is super tiny, is it not?

Yep, wears small, but i just fell in love with it and got one. In the end nobody minds it actually. pic not me.

>>13888474
I love the numbers version. The batons don't do shit for me. I guess its some autismo taste, but i just like how the numbers are printed and placed on the dial. The proportions are just so nice.
>>13888482

The era of the bead
Do you feel any regret participating on that?

>>13888507
Not a single bit. I grew tired of the board after years of frequent visits. Can't even say what it was, maybe the lack of new input. Then the bead posting started, slowly first but more and more people joined. So did i. Instead of fighting the cancer, i became it. Had some good laughs. I still don't know why the thread was moved to fa tho. Didn't care anyway.

I can’t believe tomorrow is sunday.

Your content is good, the pictures and topics are very repetitive though. To add to that your post count is fairly low. These facts combined will make people think you are boring and unoriginal, despite your skills in photography.
I'd suggest you start using your other watches, such as those lovely presages, along side with your hamilton. Also, try to take a new picture every day (or every other day) to keep it fresh.
Maybe you can come up with some topics also to keep it alive.
With the suggested additions to you shitposting portfolio, you should reach a rank of 8 in no time.

>>13888516
USPS better be moving shit around for monday, the seats are getting cold for my micro machines

>>13888536
Thank you, great collection of yours.
Will order this tomorrow. The smaller but great proportios, the print and the case jus tmake it so appealing. And i've been looking at this for a longer time. Did the same with the pope watch, still love that little shitter. Such a pleasant watch.

>>13888550
That's a fucking ladies version, gold plated brass shit.

>>13888552
Nope, the ladies version starts with an l, ltp ....
this one is an mtp, so for men. I was eying this thing and other casios long enough, i know that stuff.
Yeah, its super cheap, but i just cant stop liking it. No matter how cheap. Also its worht pennies, so it's not like overpaying and still getting plated brass.

Dropped off the Seiko 19gs at a local watch store for an estimate, we'll see what they say.

>>13888662
I hope you looked into their reputation for working on vintage watches first, yes?

>>13888683
Not really. Based on my experience so far reputation hasn't really counted for much. It's a cheap piece; we'll see how they do with it.

>>13888695
Hopefully you luck out and they do a good job. It really is a pain to find reliable watchmakers who don't have absurd queues these days.

>>13888715
We'll see what the estimate comes back as. If they do decent would be really nice to have someone reliable local, at least for basic stuff.

>>13888525
That’s a valid point, friend.
I will keep it in mind.

But I don’t really like /wt/´s environment these days. With all those early thread spams, discord friends hate and spams. It’s not motivating or fun at all.

I don’t care if someone thinks I’m boring. We’re all talking about watches ffs.

So, until then, collect what you’ve earned.

Hey guys, currently trying to plan out my next additions to my collection. The ones on the bottom row are the ones I currently own and am looking in the next year or two to cop the others.

What the fuck is this? I can't sell my own fucking watch on eBay? I don't own the "intellectual property rights" to a fucking wrist watch that I purchased? >>13888130

Thoughts on the Sistem 51?

>>13889276
I work at Swatch, and even with my discount I felt ripped off while purchasing a Sistem 51.

Can you get quality luxury watch for under 1000$? Is it worth saving up or is that just ridiculously low to expect anything quality with long term value?

>>13889308
>Can you get quality luxury watch for under 1000$?
Yes
>Can you get quality Swiss luxury watch for under 1000$?
probably not

>>13889316
Is there any reason to go for the "mid tier" brands or watches? The highest end luxury ones that are like 10k+ exist for a reason, and theres a lot of good cheap options for general use/aesthetic/accessorizing.

>>13888550
I got my sister the chrome plated version of that watch with baton indices. It seemed like a pretty solid little watch. Enjoy it bro.

>>13889332
I just operate on a 'buy what you like' philosophy. If what you want is cheap, great buy it. If its expensive, save up. If its really expensive, save more. A $30 watch keeps time just as good if not better than a $10,000 watch. I don't look at watches as an investment, it just takes away from my enjoyment. The only mistakes are buying something really expensive that you truly can't afford and amassing a huge collection of boring shitters.

>>13889332
The mid-tier, over $1k, bracket is mostly a trap to be honest (not counting vintage). There are few exceptions.

>>13888964
I like the Presages, the rest are not to my taste at all.

>>13889363
Yeah for aesthetic purposes theres no reason to go really expensive in my view. It just seems that everyone has the same stuff that kind of blurs together almost at certain price ranges

>>13889368
thats what it seemed like to me, what are the exceptions, are there any unique/innovative makers that arent common and are worth checking out?

What would be the best choose for 150 bucks? Wristlet BTW, if that matters

>>13889103
When it comes to different colour Speedys I like the Tintin best.

>>13889379
Orient Mako/Ray

>>13889190
Maybe they thought it was a fake?

>>13889378
The only real exceptions in the 1-5k range are Nomos, Sinn & Damasko. There are some quartz Grand Seikos in that range too.

>>13889378
Like the other anon mentioned, those four brands are worth taking a look at. I managed to snag this for 145k yen, but it's not a new piece or anything. There are lots of options if you include used & vintage pieces.

>>13888964
too much desu and you probably get anxiety just choosing what to wear.

ones I would keep
top row: 2 and 3
bottom row: 4 and 5

if you wanted to cut it down further I would just keep
top: 3
bottom: 4 and 5

should cover all your needs and leaves room for a diver or something a bit more different

what is the 2nd one on the top anyways? I wouldn't mind adding something like that to mine

>>13889385
I wrote them an email asking for clarification as politely as I could. If they refuse to give a reason, or if they confirm my suspicion that they just did a fradulent take down hoping I wont call them out on it, I'm getting a lawyer.

The exact same watch is being sold right now for a similar price but their listings don't get removed. For fucks sake.

Does anyone know much about the steinhart Ocean One Vintage?

Also wrist measurement question:

My wrist measures around 6 inches or 152 mm.
The aforementioned watch is 42mm with a lug to lug at 50mm. Is that too big for my wrist? Should I go for a 39mm?

>>13889481

Why the 24 click bezel now? Did Rolex want to make it harder for GMT owners to use the bezel as a timing device like the Submariner? Previous 120 click model is better.

>>13889423
Maybe the other seller reported your listing so he could have a better chance of selling his? Fuck eBay anyway they don't give a shit about the seller anymore.

>>13889486
I'd stay away

>>13889529
That bracelet looks so fucking uncomfortable.

>>13889308
>>13889316
Well do the math, you can get entry level Swiss luxury new around $2000 (TAG), but that's the dog of the TAG range like Formula 1. A decent watch like Carrera is more like $3000 to $3500, new in box.

On the used market you could get the same watch for around $2000 in decent condition.

As for vintage watches, anything good like Omega will either be actual crap (like 70s gold plating garbage) or still a pretty penny for like a Bond Seamaster which will be around $2000 also.

So no, entry level Swiss luxury is $2000. Anything below that is a complete waste of money.

>>13889556
How so?

>>13889568

>Recommends Tag
>'Anything below is a complete waste of money'

Tags are ugly, their performance is meh and they don't make their own movements.. I have an extremely hard time figuring out why Tags are as expensive as they are. I mean, I suppose it's the Swiss meme, but if that means that much to you just get a Tissot or something. Or save a bit longer... Just don't get a Tag. At least I wouldn't.

are these nice?

>>13889589
It's the Bulova man on the moon
It is nice, but shadowed by the speedy

>>13889581
>muh in house movement

Nice meme. The most expensive Rolex watches don't use in house movements (plastic Daytonas).

>>13889604
would I look like a poorfag for wearing this instead of the Omega? I got it for $200. Also is the metal bracelet or the leather strap preferred? Personally I think the black leather looks better.

Love the story behind it

>>13889615
Nobody gives a fuck what watch you wear.
If your budget is $200, speedy is way out of your league.
I would get the bracelet version, you can change away the bracelet at any point you wish anyways.

>>13889624
well my budget is more like around a thousand but that's still way below omega

is the Sinn 356 an actual good watch or just entry level luxury that you may as well get a Seiko for a quarter of the price?

>>13889481
Get the 39mm. Steinharts are notorious for having long lugs which make them look absurdly massive if you don't have big meaty wrists. Pic related, a 42mm OVM on a 6.2 inch wrist.

Is this watch too big for my wrists?

>>13889682
Change the strap and don't wear it like a dress watch

Which one should I get?

Its a eco-drive with a screw down crown that isnt a diver, which is quite rare. Green dial or black dial? I think regardless of which dial colour I get I might change the strap/bracelet to something more comfy.

>>13889699
Black dial is more versatile.

>>13889691
>>13889682

What kind of strap would you substitute it for?

>>13889737
Dark green nato strap

>>13888895
Sell all that junk and buy one proper watch instead

>>13889609
Right, so it's trash.
Get a real watch like a JLC.

Guys can you help me out.
I'm looking to buy an Orient watch. There's a seller from Singapore that has this particular model for sale. Model number is Ab0b008b SAB0B008BB.

How can I see whether it's real or fake? Orient is pretty hard to get into.

>>13889763
Go by the sellers past ratings? Anyway I don't know why anyone would fake an orient

>>13889778
All watches are being faked nowadays. Even €100 Seiko 5's.
And imagesearch returns me shitloads of results but all of them are from sellers websites in the 3rd world (Thailand, Russia, Singapore, etc)

Liking a watch for his movement is like loving a woman for her organs. Nerds.

>>13889809
>not loving girls solely for their big breasts and child bearing hips

>>13889737
Brown leather without that glossy shit

>>13889699
Get the green one. The black is too generic. The green already has a comfy strap. If you want the bracelet, research if you can order it seperately. This thing looks heavy tho. And a heavy watch+heavy bracelet=annoying when worn daily.

>>13888130
whats the alternative to this watch?

>>13889834
There really isn't one. Someone might link you to a seiko 5 that looks like it, but it's a piece of dogshit with an integreated bezel, I had it. Maybe the closest thing that reminds me to it is a glycine airman

>>13889857
*bracelet, not bezel

>>13888895
Fuck that hamilton is nice, if only it was hand wound I'd be all over it. Not a fan of the monta personally and I prefer the oris 65 to the aquis, but to each their own I guess. Also, you should consider upgrading that chrono at some point to an intra-matic 68

I just won this SCED019 on Yahoo.jp auctions for £106. Hopefully I can flip it for a profit, if I like it I might keep it though.

>>13889907
imagine if these kike "flippers" didnt exist, and people just bought what they wanted to wear for reasonable prices

Same reason why people fake F91Ws: If people want them, and you can make them and sell them for (far) less than the original, you will make money. Also something tells me that in the lower ranges of the market a lot of sellers will simply sell the watches as genuine..

>>13889977
yeah i saw it in stores its as big as a diesel watch

>>13889956
Just boasting I guess.
>>13889960
Never thought of it that way.

>>13889979
Maybe you saw the 46mm model.
This is a 42 and I think the size is great.

>>13889994
we cant all be chad shitposters like you. Thats still huge

Funny how some in wt have become size snobs, thinking that anything above women sizes are obnoxious.

>>13890024
36-38mm is perfect for most watches 40-42mm for divers.

>>13890053
33-34mm for dress watches and 35-36 for divers, chronos and some dress watches.
Wear anything bigger than that and you are a ghastly motherfucker who does his part to ruin the great art of horology.

>>13890062
why are you so obtuse?

>>13890062
>if a watch is bigger than 36 and you're ruining horology
jesus.... I hope this is ironic

>>13890091
It shows that you do not care about the horological tradition.

>>13889907
That looks a bit beaten up. I got a brand new one for £120.

>>13889937
I flip watches quite a lot and I feel like I'm bringing decent, Jap watches into my country. People are too scared to buy from Japan .

>>13890062
36mm is pretty small for a diver, they wear a lot smaller due to a small dial & big bezel.

>>13890146
The case & bracelet look pretty much perfect, there's just a couple of scratches on the bezel.

>>13890160
Yea, you'll definitely make a profit. I just made £100 on the Ripley I just posted.
Did you get import taxed?

>>13890137
If you care so much about horological tradition and the great art of horology why are you discarding the traditional size of pilot and diver watches?

You sound more like a trend sheep than a watch enthusiast.

>>13890172
Probably, I just won it today so it hasn't even shipped yet.

My first watch purchase, how’d I do? I really want a speedmaster but can’t justify spending that much on a watch right now but I drool over pictures of it every night.

>>13890185
This

>>13890190
Good for you. Quit scratching that hand.

>>13890187
You get it on buyee? I get taxed every time using them.

>>13890185
Because those watches were meant to be used when piloting an aircraft or worn outside of a diver's suit.
Nobody wore their 55mm pilots watch outside the plane.

Is 38 too small for a man's dive watch? I was going to go for an aqua Terra next month but than I saw this planet ocean available even cheaper. It was marketed for women but that's technically unisex midsize right?

>>13890262
>38mm
>marketed for women
what

>>13890262
Divers under 40mm look dumb to me.

>>13890267
That's how they did it. Some places label it women's. Other label it just midsize or unisex.

>>13890262
no it isn't dumb at all

>>13890208
Yeah, you can change what they put on the customs form though so I might try doing that. Creation used to send watches as a 'measuring device' and I never got fees, might try that.

>>13890262
It should look fine, pic related is my 38mm C60 I used to own on my 7.25" wrist.

>>13890262
This is my favorite omega watch. If your wrists are on the smaller side, go for the 38mm, but then again ive never been a fan of big watches. Literally nobody would think its a ladys watch

>>13890364

>>13890488
do you usually daily wear your other watches or just the hamilton nowadays?

>>13890507
Just the Hamilton.
I brought the white Presage to a wedding but ended up wearing the Hamie.

Hmm hmm hmm hmmmnn

This is a very handsome watch,

>>13890605
OwO new picture

What do you think of pic related? I stole the pic from some shitty scalper's Instagram, it's a piece from 2006 and the faggot is asking $1,600 for it.

>>13890611
Christopher Wards are effay as fuck and they're not even that expensive. Good alternative to Seikos etc in my opinion.

Did you really like tf2 enough to get a plushie?

>>13890692
It's a Seiko S23611J1. The gold is actually titanium nitride. Like most of their divers it's designed to be garish, which is why I like it, but it's not as horrible as the Monster etc.

>coated in /k/
wat

>>13890701
It's one of the reissues of their original "golden tuna" 600m diver, and yes it was originally released in 2006.

>>13890715

A man of culture I see.

>>13890998
Bought it from amazon and returned it. This is my dd.

What do you guys think? Completely repolished and rebrushed since it got scraped the fuck up in transit a while back.

>>13891014
Looks like a Rolex Oyster Perpetual.

>>13891010
Hey man, you asked.
I usually don’t tell.

>>13891045
I'm not mocking your taste in vidya bro

>>13891009
Yes, that's a cheap one too. Most are around 7k

>>13891009
>dollaridoos
More like $7400.

>>13891027
I'll that that as an compliment since the rolex is more than 10 times expensive.

The trick to a good rebrush is nylon sandpaper, its like scorchbrite but red. Or then its like wool, coarseness is about 100. Produces fantastic results that really play in the light.

>>13891138
>>13891092
Jesus Christ. Enjoy your Archie pill I guess.

>>13891145
You should remove a couple of links, friend.

>>13891145
The wool type is finer and produces better result than the scotchbrite kind is used in this pic, irl though this looks completely fine, better than original at least. The sarb bracelet is of poor finish compared to the watch head.

>>13891150
The sarbs braclet doesnt fit correctly for my wrist, sometimes its too lose or if I removed an extra link its almost always too tight. It lacks proper 4 point microadjustement.

>>13888130
HAM WRIST EDITION XD

>>13891170
Whatev bruv, that’s clearly 3 loose.

>>13891147
I don't have one, it's just the only Speedy with any colour on the dial that I like.

up or down?

Seiko SACM171 yay or nay? I currently wear a Casio or Vostok and I want something classy like a thin Patek dress watch.

Is this clock tacky?
I only use it to count my time at the gym because a phone takes too much of my attention. You'll only see me with this on my way to the gym, working out or going back home.

Funny. But, when converted, I paid 4 dollars for this shit. I'm just curious to know if you guys think it looks like shit.

>>13891443
At least you paid an appropriate amount for dogshit.

Are there any watches that are illuminated without having to press a button?

>>13891423
>>13891443
I don't think it's tacky. It is probably pretty poorly made but then again you paid $4. For $4 it's fine.

>mfw when my most accurate watch is a plain one-handed belarussian Luch.

Can somebody please tell me wat this is?

>>13891484
do you literally not know how to read and then google

>>13891498
Nice watch, no life retard.

poorfag here, should I just get a seiko? seems like theyre the best watches on the cheaper end you can get. anything better in the $100-150 price range?

>>13891498
>guys, is my pew pew /fa/?

>poorfag cummin thru

>>13891454
Thank you.

>>13891423
>>13891443
Just buy a terrorist watch bro. More suited to what you do with it and looks way better, also very cheap.

Another option is the basic $50 G-shock

>>13891531
>can’t even afford to focus on the subject

Is it wrong that I'm kinda curious about getting a smartwatch?

It's not gonna replace my traditional watches, but I think it would be something fun to play with for a bit.

>>13891526
Not everyone in /wt/ is a degenerate /fa/ggot, anon.

>>13891597
No. It's a fucking botnet.

>>13891597
I just find nothing interesting about them. Its a tiny smart phone on your wrist. Very cool. Everything they can do that a regular watch can't doesn't interest me.

>>13891612
this to be quite honest

>>13891027
Except it doesn't. I'm sure a poorfag will delude himself

Good morning /g/. Hope you had a nice resting 14h nap. Enjoy your stay.

>>13891638
Nice watch, fucking piece of shit.

>>13891678
Thanks.

>>13891638
What type pipe?

I want to change the strap but I don't know what would look better on it.
Another NATO? Shark mesh?

Can some toothpaste and a microfiber cloth clean up scratches on a clasp or bracelet or would it ruin the finish?

>>13889280
What's your position at Swatch?

>>13891721
I use mothers metal polish, I also use it to polish acrylic crystals.

>>13891755

>>13891404
Yay, with a replacement strap

My younger brother bought me this for Christmas 2 years ago. I like it’s simplicity

Would be okay but that printing on the day subdial looks pretty bad

based chinks

This based jewboy just got a 4 watch watchbox for day 1 of hannukah

Got this watch from my grandpa, 2 questions.
1) What's the general consensus on Seiko watches and for this style?
2) What are some good ways to clean/freshen it up and make it look good again? It's pretty old, definitely needs a touch up

>>13891797
thinking about it

> All quartz watches are the same
Imagine being this unintelligent

>>13891820
>implying I said that

I bet you own a casio lmfao

I can’t believe I have to work tomorrow.
Good night, /wt/. Sleep tight.

Another shitter added to the collection

>>13891927
The world time is an amazing shitter

>>13891935
I'm pretty hype, its a really cool watch for the price.

>>13889529
quite obviously

Need a watch thats more casual than a dress watch but more dressy than a diver

>>13891935
maybe they could un-rice it a little

>>13888964

Fuck those other faggots. Your Presages are really nice. I do think you're leaning way to hard Seiko though. You need something digital, something on a nato and something over $1,500. Sell 1,3,5 & 6 and get something new.

>>13891014

Nice enough, it's a classic look to be sure. How is the lume on the hands?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV9dI4EP_Xw

watches are tech right? been thinking about buying a gold stunner like the one in the video (SBGX038). What are your thoughts on this grand seiko?

If you know of comparable watches (no tudors plz) post model numbers in comments

>>13891638
based

>>13891976

These posts comparing the finishing on the GS compared to other comparable watches was quite interesting. I think you'll likely be quite confident in the GS after seeing them.

Based craigposter

>make ridiculously expensive and accurate quartz watch
>use the day/date mechanism from a shitter
I might need something with a 7813 movement as a donor but half of those on ebay are fucked too.

>>13891976
>paying that much for that watch
kek
Good for him though, he saw there's a market for gullible seikofags and sure is working them

>>13892089
Listen here you jamoke that 9f gold quartz is STUNNING

>>13892154
lol no

>>13892158
Wellthereyougo

>>13892089
Thats puppy is a 18k GOLD STUNNER. Worth every cent with that bulletproof 9F quartz movement. Way more convenient than the automatic for a dress watch.

>>13892170
What a faggot

>>13892170
Worthless, like the amount of money you'd get for the gold in that shitter

>>13892154
now say uptake and mention off brand chips

>>13891451
Any Casio with auto-el option

Is it a good idea to buy a high-quality rep? I mean from this video you literally have to use a loupe to tell a difference between the fake and genuine.

>>13892423
>buying a fake
No.

>>13892443
Nasty fucker

>>13892423
At least buy a homage if you like the looks of a certain watch. Only losers like Tudor paki buy fakes.

Can I pull this off?

>>13892490
If I were you I'd pull it off immediately and never put it back on.

Sigh, it's hard to find a smallish Seiko diver under 1k bucks.

I have an 6.5" flat wrist and regular Ocean One is already too big on my wrist due to the long lugs like >>13889671 said. Consider getting a Squale which has a better case design.

What does /wt/ think of the Laco Flieger 39 Type A? Can I use this watch as a dress watch?

Redpill me on the micro brand meme.

>>13892648
Interesting designs that you wouldn't necessarily see from the big companies, and at a decent enough price. That's the idea anyway.

>>13888272
Omg you think they would spend years developing a new calibre just to make it harder to service? Just kys

>>13892726
>scummy omega would totally not make a movement harder to service, so you have to go to a specialized omega service instead of an independet watch service which is way cheaper.

You dumb faggot have no idea of the real world.
