Fuck off where ever you came

Post attainable grails!

George Bush is fucking me from the grave keeping a new watch from me. So here is the phoibos again. Joining the bloods, the streets will give me purpose

Looking for a new watch to replace my old and trusty 90's Braun.
Max budget is ~$500. Seeking something versatile, similar to a Rolex Submariner.

Seiko SNE437P1, Phoibos PY007C or something else? Thanks.

>Max budget is ~$500. Seeking something versatile, similar to a Rolex Submariner.
A Rolex Submariner rep

>>13899137
I am happy with the phoibos but people will be sour with you if you cop it. Despite the octopus logo all over it

>>13899141
I dont known a miyota 9015 stacks with whatever they put in a samurai/turtle (4r?). But the octopus has some good specs, no hardlex, solid end links
superluminova (ok prob losing to seiko's lume) for 300

How is this a grail?
It is fucking gold tone dudebro

It's a shame the replica makers don't make replicas of watches you can't buy any more. I'd happily spend £500 on a vintage sub 16800.

>>13899132
I want a spring drive chrono that isn't grand seiko branded and doesn't look like shit. Oh wait that's unattainable because it doesn't exist.

I think the 0021 has a leather strap, have a browse of their website

>>13899296
I got my sister a watch from the Casio MTP line, she seems to like it. It's technically a man's watch but as it's around 34mm most women would wear it these days.

>>13899295

Too ostentatious and tryhard for a dress watch at its tier.

Just downgrade to a dressier Hamilton or Tissot or FredCon at this point. If budget is bigger, go for Oris or Ball dress watches.

What are you guys thoughts on this?

>>13899870
overpriced for what it is, if i liked the design then it'd justify the price to me, but it just looks bad imo. Even though I love groub b rally cars the design of this watch just doesn't do it for me.

>>13899870
The genta-ish design is great imo. The brushed version is better though, you get three different types of finishing on it instead of just bead blasted.

>>13899870
I like what the aesthetic attempts (post-human futurism of sorts), but it ends up looking tacky

>>13899870
the use of italian words as brands sounds retarded when you're actually italian

Find yourself a carrera reissue. Basically the same movement as the speedy anyway.

>Basically the same movement
Oh well that must mean it went to the moon too.

>>13900384
Please explain what connection a modern speedmaster has with the moon.

>>13900384
It has a lemania 1873. The movement in the MOTFM is based on it.

>>13900387
Not hard to figure out my dude.

>>13900401
That one has a 321 movement, which is not what you get when you buy a modern moonwatch.

>>13900781
Thanks! I got the tag before I knew any better, was my second watch after the accutron. Want to add a chrono, maybe a Zenith then I’ll be satisfied.

What do you care about when you buy a new watch? Only the design, price or some personal worth it has to you?

>>13900743
Fucking dogshit. Keep the sub, Patek, and one of the casios and trash the rest

>>13899378
Who even buys Tag

I mean their stuff is ok, but not for anywhere near what they are worth new even with discounts

Take the basic carerra calibre 5 for example, it’s like the most boring watch design of all time.

The Monaco is one of the most overrated watches of all time. I will say the autavia is actually decent, but I’d much rather have a speedmaster for the same money

>>13900331
Save up for a MAN ON THE FUCKING MOON

I really hate that fat faggot. Not clicking

>>13900974
I've been wondering about this too for a long time. They always have the advertisement posters featuring 'speed' in a very 90's way (colours, angles, etc.), as if they're appealing to an aging fan of The Fast and the Furious. The strange thing is that they're not watches that go well with formal wear....or normal suits. They don't look waterproof, so basically...it's a 'fun' but expensive watch. That doesn't cut it, at least, in this economy.

Would be eternally satisfied with this. Would probably lust after an ALS dress watch as well but that will never happen.

BB58 y or n? could get one or wait and see what Tudor comes up with at next years Basel.

>>13901119
Go for it. I've tried one on before and it's pretty much perfectly proportioned.

>>13901125
yep. got to try one on at a preview event earlier this year, really good fit. i'll probably pull the trigger, but knowing my luck Tudor will end up releasing a date version or maybe even a 39mm GMT next year.

>>13901132
I doubt it to be honest. Wasn't getting rid of the date one of the things that was done to slim down the movement? No date is better anyway.

>>13900743
That’s a whole lot of DHGate specials in there.

>>13901137
as i recall they just wanted to make a slimmer movement. i do think it's inevitable that they'll come out with a date version (in a year or two) or even GMT movement (3+ years away)

>>13899146
This and I'm not even meme-ing. I took mine (pic related) to an AD and they can't even tell that it's a fake.

Just make sure to get one that comes with a 2824 clone for easier maintenance.

>>13901564
Please post your typical outfit.
I’m not against reps, just curious.

Bought 2 fake Patek skeletons in Thailand. Still working a year later, so that’s a good sign.

>>13901568
Polo shirt + jeans + rockport shoes.

I forgot to add. Just don't pretend that your watch is real, whenever people complimented my watch I just tell them that it's not the real thing.

>>13901575
Lol
With a green submariner?

I’m looking for a donor watch for my penis quartz and every Lord, king, type II, silverwave Seiko seems to have a completely different movement code... how many quartz movements did Seiko make and why did they make so many?
How do I know if a movement will slot straight in to my Lord?

Got this authentic German navy (Kreigsmarine) watch from ww2 yesterday. A nice addition to my historical watch collection.

>>13901610
Neat. Got a movement shot?

>>13901610
It uses a 1939 PUW (Pforzheimer Uhrenwerke) movement.

>>13900743
That “Vacheron” looks fishy af

>>13901624

Lmao. Should have zoomed up. Anyway that Frederic CONSTANT is a dirty poor man’s VC. That guy has other very nice watches, he should dump that piece of shit.

>>13900493
A bit too late for that don't you think?

>neo-/wt/ in a nutshell

>BB 58 super rep is coming this month

My body is ready.

>>13901600
For a start I wouldn't risk using a donor movement that wasn't the same as the one you're replacing, who knows if it'll fit in the case, and if the spacer rings can be swapped, and if the hands will be able to be transferred.

So find the movement number, and when it was made and then go here

https://www.thewatchsite.com/13-ads-catalogs-vintage-current/16043-seiko-vintage-catalogs-1960s-1980s.html#/topics/16043?page=1

Download the catalogue that corresponds to when your watch was made and you should find numerous watches that use the same movement. Hopefully finding a working donor shouldn't be too difficult.

As an example my penis quartz uses a 5856 and is from 1978. The catalogue from that year shows 37 models that use the same movement.

>>13901736
Oh Jesus. You got details? They cloning the in house movement?

>>13901772
The watch reads 7853-7000. Which bit is the movement number?

>>13901776
7853 is the movement.

>>13899123
Does the calculator watch on the right offers a significant advantage over the middle one, aside from the back light? I want to get one but the middle one has a nicer look for me but if the other one is better then I might get it for the practically.

>>13901781
Cool. Thanks.

>>13900469
Try searching for aq301g

>>13900516
aq301g I believe it's a metal case. I'm in the process of getting one in gold tone.

>>13901776
7853, the six digit code on the back will show the year and month of manufacture.

First number is year (so mine here is 7, 1977) and second is month (June here). Obviously you'll need to know what decade it was made in, which should be the 70s.

>>13901791
>>13901796
I already ordered it, I think it's an AQ-351W. Paid 27 euros, is that a fair price?

>>13901797
Take a look in the 1978 catalogue and there it is on page 11 with lots of other 5856 watches. It even shows the bracelet reference.

>>13901798
Not a bad price at all, I got mine for 20 € with some extra shit that came with it.

What are some watches where the name is cooler than the watch

I'll start:

>Tudor Black Bay

>>13901798
If it's in good condition I think it's a great price. I would buy for that.

>>13901810
Rolex Explorer

>>13901810
Most Tag Huehuehue
>Carrera
>Monaco
>Silverstone
>Formula One

>>13901806
mine reads 853696 on the back.
7853-7000 on the dial.

>>13901823
no that's actually a very cool watch

No, just the garbage seiko, vostok and whatever other trash you pretend isn't shit

Can't afford an intra matic, thoughts/opinions on this watch? Any better suggestions in the sub 500 range? Ideally I'd like an automatic bi-compax with date but it seems surprisingly hard to find. Is it possible to pick up an old Seiko 6138 or something similar for that price?

imagine unironically believing this and actually thinking you know something. people like you deserved to be fucking punished for being so goddamn ignorant. fucking moronic retard

Why does it always ends up being about money and not the appreciation?

>>13901978
It's not about money though. If you have money but you don't have a rolex you're still poor.

Because the more expensive a watch is the better, that's why a $5000 Seiko 5 is such a good piece.

>>13901978
Most watch collectors don't make an effort to have an understanding of the technical aspects of watches, leaving little else but money to talk about.

>>13901973
You need to stop being poor to understand

>>13901978
Because blind, Rolex fanboys can't accept that Japan can make better watches than Switzerland.

>>13901982
You don't even own a Rolex.

>>13901993
on what planet is grand seiko better than something like a sky moon tourbillon?

>>13901993

Totally agreed. The inflation around a tool watch is ridiculous and these gullible idiots just eat it up because of status around other idiots.

>>13902026

>>13902032
I like the vintage aspect of 1680s especially the red text. I like the refinement of the 16610s, the solid end links and the nicer bezel teeth. I loathe the maxi-case 116610 though.

>>13902040
No. Thin automatic watches are actually well appreciated it's just that "diver" watches are more mainstream now.

Good morning wt.

The Slava transistor is an unauthorized copy of the accutron 214 made in the Soviet Union. Working examples with the original could and fairly rare; I've seen some people claim there are as few as three known working examples but I've seen at least two myself so that seems unlikely. Still, not too many. The Soviets had a great deal of trouble making the index wheels - the rumbling from nearby train tracks was enough to ruin production.

>>13902141
That is the most annoying thing ever, takes too long to solve just to shitpost here.
Then sometimes you have to solve 8 to 12 of those picture puzzles where they do not fade..

Hey! YOU GOT IT!!! How's it running?

>>13902205
Not horrible. It runs about 30spd fast dial up and 12 up, and 40spd fast 6up. That's well outside regulation range for a 214, so it definitely needs a service - the question is whether anyone would accept it for service, given that parts originality is critical for a watch like this. I'm wearing it for the first time today so we'll see how its on-wrist performance is. I'll have to decide at some point whether to try to find someone who will service it.

>>13902064
>Omega fag still seething after getting #BTFO by the rep anon

>>13902062
Pretty much, guy must be a wristlet or something. It's not even that big in real life.

>>13902213
Well, I hope you do find someone. Or, with a steady hand, you could risk doing it yourself. I think we're getting to that stage in watchmaking where certain areas of expertise are simply slipping away due to people dying off, so we sometimes have to do things for ourselves (as long as we're very well informed).

>>13902073
See: >>13901729

Anyone know what these dials mean on this watch? And how do I make it know what month it is? It's been a day behind since the switch to December from November because it was on a 31 day month.

Rolex are the Audi of the watch world. High prices for average quality and owned by dickhead posers who want to look rich and buy them on credit.

>>13902244
wow, you are really in the know, huh

guess all those rolex owners really are fucking retards who got scammed

>>13902231
You have to put it in the microwave for 30 seconds to advance it a day. Happens to all of us

>>13902251
I’d say buying them for investment purposes is quite a good idea. Lots of money to be made from retards.

>>13902279
are people who buy expensive clothing and leather goods also retards?

>>13902223
I do battery changes and regulate my watches with regulated balances, but I'm definitely not going to attempt a service on a Slava transistor. If I we're going to go down that route, would definitely have to start by servicing a bunch of junk 214s off eBay to get a feel for it first.

>>13902284
Definitely, clothing doesn't last, leather can last somewhat longer though.
When will brainlets learn that when they want to buy some material for investing purposes, they need to buy gold and not some random fucking brands.
It's simple 1+1 but no one seems to fucking get it.

>>13902292
Fair enough. Good on you for doing the regulation on normal balances...I'm just at the beginning of understanding that stuff. A few more months and I think I'll start buying tools...

>>13902294
are you also retarded if you buy expensive food? that doesn't last either

>>13902244
Rolex quality is fantastic, albeit high priced. The second half of the post is 100% correct though

>>13902279
Not really a great investment. They rise with inflation fort the most partm very few models gain value.

>>13902314
If it's only expensive because of some brand etc like starbucks, sure you are a fucking retard.
If you buy food that is expensive but has superior nutritional values, you are doing the right thing.

>>13902310
Get a weishi 1000 off eBay for $150, they're cheap and easy to use.

>>13902323
True heroes use an oscilloscope to measure their watches.

>>13902323
Thanks for the suggestion; I'll put it on THE LIST.

I'm still quite far away from that point though...still studying the arithmetic. There's a shit-tonne to learn, and though I get the basic mechanics of it all, I want to know the inside stuff far better before I begin to actually manipulate things. Lots to learn...but it's fun nevertheless.

>>13902337
Correct macros and I try to get a well balanced supply of micros too.
I prefer locally produced food, especially veggies and meat.
I cook everything I eat and I try to make it as tasteful as possible so that I can eat faster and feel happier about it.

I just think that any watch bought in investment or other value retaining purposes is stupid. In the end it is just a huge gamble.
Investing in watches is just another hook the industry uses to get people who do not necessarily have the money to throw it in.

Not him, but the preowned Rolex market is kind of in a bubble right now. It's bound to go down fairly soon.

Also, you'd have to keep a Rolex for over a decade to really see qn increase in Value. Even then, most models are really just rising with inflation. The only ones that really accrue to insane prices are one-offs, former ugly ducklings, oddballs. Idk if most can be considered an investment.

However, I say if you have a good stainless oyster sports, and are thinking about pitching it, now is a great time. The market is ridiculous

hi, I'm tying to help my gf find a decent watch. She likes minimal designs like Nomos or DW. But DW seems to be an overprized China watch and the Nomos are too expensive.

Do you have any alternative recommendations? thanks in advance
-minimal design
-prize < 500 bucks
-size < 35 mm
-leather wristband

What watches are these, anons? Dad's family friend died and he passed on his stuff to my dad.

>>13901978
Because the vast majority of people interested watches today don't know anything or care anything about objective manufacturing quality and craftsmanship. Watches for them are purely based on aesthetics and which brand identities they desparately want to associate themselves with. It's basically an entire hobby full of NPC apple fags.

Basically, most watchfags are absolute know-nothings who couldn't tell you anything about watches except the perceived brand status of the names of their faces based on forum fags circle jerking about them, and how much they like the looks.
