Looking to get the casio protrek prg330. Its the lightest of all the current protrek models. Should i get black, pinko or wite?

I will actually go /out/ with it cause it will be a replacement for the very old (15 years old) protrek that i have. So i am leaning towards black or pinko because somehow they look like they wont mind getting it scratched up.

That said, one issue i have with my current protrek is the resin band wears out and breaks easily.

That's got a lot more to do with the shipper and the package/mail serve though..

Yeah.. Rougly €13,- actual VAT. No added import fee because costs <€120, and max import fee for a wristwatch is just €0,80 anyway.. Then another €13,- 'handling costs', charged by the mail service. Also a few euros in change because some cunt filed it for 103USD instead of 103SGD (singapore dollars, about 20 euros less in total, so about 4 euros overtaxed)...

The main reason the costs are so high, which is also the reason the odds of being slapped with charges, are the €13,- the post company charges for doing the formalities. Something you do not ask for, and for which no alternative exists.

*are so high.

The mail company doesn't pay the tax, so they don't care.. Filing the forms is probably an online thing, or something they can rubberstamp 284x an hour. So charging €13,- for every single item imported that costs more than €20,- is probably a godsent for them in these days.. Margins in the logistics world are very VERY thin.

Here you just get a notice if the customs have it and you have to fill a customs form, everything is free, but they also charge you customs for the postage you paid for the item.

>> No.13893513

>>13893508

Postage price and insurance is also included in EU/Netherlands, but if the shipping is actually free (as in, the 'SHIPPING' column on your invoice says 0.00) then you're not taxed for that. They don't look at the actual cost of sending the package, just what you're charged...

Also they combine stuff. So if you order 10 shitters that would be tax free in one package, you can still be taxed because the total amount exceeds the tax free limit.. Or 1 item that's just under, might go OVER if the shipping fee+insurance are on the invoice.

Depends on where you get it. There are several online dealers, and you have to factor in shipping costs and all those things. I said 'under 500' because it might cost you 250...it might cost you 400.

One thing that I personally considered when buying mine was to allot an extra 20-30$ for my watchmaker to have a look at it upon delivery, just to make sure the movement was sound. If you have a trusted watchmaker, have him look it over when you get yours, and he can fix or adjust anything that is wacko. With watches like these, there is no guarantee that they're in perfect running order after they've been shipped.

>>13893468
I have the 38, and it's awesome. I tend to normally wear 40-42mm, but honestly the size really doesn't make a difference because once you've worn any watch for more than 5 hours, you get used to the size regardless.

Black Panda dial looks cool; good luck with your purchase.

Sent a long letter signed with fountain pen, sealed in an actual envelope because even though they can track your package from Asia, and embrace all forms of digital communication they actually force you to buy stamps and an envelope if you want to reclaim costs..

I requested the €13 handling fee back as well as the overcharged taxes because paying for a sub par service seems a bit rich to me. That said, they'll probably take the chance that I'm not taking a day off to contest it in small claims court, and they'd be right.

I'm a noob when it comes to watch specifications. But why can't you go swimming with a watch that has 3 atm water resistance? Isn't it supposed to be able to go 30m deep under water and survive?

>> No.13894065

>>13894033

It's supposed to, but for some reason manufacturers have universally decided that 3ATM doesn't actually mean that it can handle 3ATM of water pressure. 30ATM 'Water resist'/50M is basically splash resistance, and 100M+ means you can reliably swim with it.

I don't really get it either, but that seems to be the thing.

>> No.13894069

13894076

>>13894033
There's a lot of weird ideas out there about water resistance.

A 30m wr rating specifically means that the watch won't leak under 30m water equivalent pressure. If that were the end of the story, you could swim with it just fine (debunking of the common myth that when you're swimming your arm's movement through the water dramatically increases the pressure is here https://forums.watchuseek.com/f2/sigh-myth-busting-again-610734.html#/topics/610734 ). There's a number of complicating factors:

Unless the watch is certified as a Diver watch, it probably hasn't actually been tested. Standard wr watches are sample tested - the manufacturer tests, say, 1% of watches to ensure most of then meet the standard (there is an ISO process for sample testing you can look up if you're curious). Your watch may never have been tested, in which case it's up to the manufacturing consistency and quality control of the manufacturer whether.your watch is constructed the same as the samples that passed.

Seals can degrade over time. Even if your watch had 30m wr when it was made, it may not any more. As seals age they harden, which can make them less effective at sealing. To have faith in your watch's wr you should be testing it every year and every time it's opened.

If you've tested your individual with recently and it passed a 30m test, it is perfectly fine for surface swimming. The reason people often say "your watch needs 100m wr and a screw down crown for surface swimming" is a hope that such overspeccing will mean that even watches that haven't been tested are likely at least good enough.

>> No.13894084

>>13894069
I've swam with my f91w and it survived. I found it on holiday and it says 'water resist' on the front so I thought that meant I could swim with it. I still have it 10 years later and everything works fine except for the light. (f91w has 3atm water resistance.)

Tbqh it doesn't help that manufacturers typically put 'do not swim or shower' in the manual, even for 'WR' watches.

What does what the manufacturer put in the manual have to do with how wr your watch is? Either it has been tested to be wr (either by you, or by the manufacturer in a Diver watch), in which case it is perfectly safe to swim with it to the tested depth, or it hasn't been tested, in which case whether it's wr is unknown.

The manuals that say "this 30m wr watch is not suitable for swimming" is simply an admission "we have no idea if this watch is wr, do not claim that it is, and will not accept warranty returns if it is not. The text on the dial is merely there for decoration."

So around the 5k range then? If you want a solid three hander then look for an 114270. Maybe a JLC master control date (with the sector dial). If you want a chronograph then take a look at the heritage 146. The one nitpick I have with it though is it doesn't hack (unless I'm mistaken). The JLC master control chrono is worth a look too.

The problem with the 6159 style models are overly long lug-to-lug length and lack of case curvature to make it conform to wristlet arms. You should see the gaudy and very American MM600 and MM10000, they're even worse than the 200 and 300. Only the Grand Seiko divers (pic related) are somewhat realistically sized in this aspect if you want a similar case shape, but it's easily pushing 8k burgerpesos and you will still be mocked by tryhard muh COSC fags. On the other hand the Tuna style models wear much smaller despite their humongous diameters due to their lug-to-lug lengths being comparatively very short, and on the bigger models the lugs are basically hidden under the case instead of extending out like the M&Ms.

It really depends on the seller. My rule of thumb is usually if the guy has less than 99% positive feedback with 1000+ transactions then it's most likely a shitter. Of course a seller with 98.8% could have just had a stroke of bad luck and got that total rep only due to several dramas with petty buyers/scammers, but in general it's preferable to deal with drama-free sellers. Also, what model are you looking at? Creationwatches out of Singapore is safe and a lot of the buyfags from Watchuseek etc rely on them for Asia-only Seikos.

Your dad is a fucken moron m8.. If you're really worried about resale value, and don't even wear the piece, why not keep those 8 grand in your pocket? Or the stockmarket for that matter..

They probably sell them as genuine. More margin that way.

There are fake Seikon and Sekio 5's in the third world. Mostly they have a very rough chink clone of a 7000 series Seiko.

Fucking why though? That's like making counterfeit 5 dollar bills. Why make something with a low profit margin?

Most counterfeitted Euro bills are 20 and 50. Why not 200 and 500? Because people tend to pay more attention to those.. Same principle I think.

People who buy counterfeit Seiko and Citizen usually aren't certain they're counterfeit
That's the difference. We don't have to worry about fake shitters unless you buy on ebay

Hey guys, other watch thread told me to email Omega directly, but I’m hoping someone might be able to help here. Does anyone know what model watch this is? All I know is it might be 1950s/60s.
