Good morning wt.

The Omega 613 was a manual-wind version of the 56x series. Omega put it on the relaunched Cosmic line (which used to be a traditional looking triple calendar). It is one of the earliest omegas with a proper date quickset; you pull the crown past the time setting g position to advance the date. It does mean you need to be careful setting the time around midnight; if you pull the crown too far, you can activate the quickset while the date change is in the process of happening (and it does have an instantaneous date change mechanism, and is this prone to damage from quicksetting while the date mechanism is engaged).

>>13939816
A lot of people talk shit about the constellation. What do you reckon

>>13939650
wait what the fuck is she doing? is she taping it or what???

>>13939829
Is that a 10xx movement? I don't have any experience with those personally but have heard negative things about them particularly in terms of ease of service. I would prefer a 56x or 75x

>>13939837
yeah it is. It's a shame the movement is so controversial because that case and dial look fucking sweet.

What the actual fuck

>>13939829
I like the Constellation, they generally have higher quality finishing and more interesting designs than the Seamaster due to the Constellation being Omega's dress line. Also Constellations are really popular in Asia for some reason.

For sub-5k give me on good reason why i shouldn't get this.

>>13940125

You'll regret not getting a moonwatch or limited edition instead, also resale is better on moonwatches.

so my grandpa was a pilot for the NYPD, and he says the only "pilot's watch" he ever wore was a cheap calculator watch to log flight times / or something of that nature

>>13940129
Yeah, it's becoming clear now that the Moon watch is the better option.

Does any one in this thread have any experience with Omegas and the speedmaster? I'm planning on buying one really nice quality watch and wearing it forever.

>>13940184
>Does anyone have any experience with one of the most prolific watchmakers in history and its most popular single watch line?
Just ask your question.

>>13940184
My dad has two Constellations and he absolutely loves them, I don't have much experience with Speedmasters, but Omega has always seemed like a reliable high quality watchmaker to me.

>>13940194
I mean I have heard about issues with easy scratching and I want to know if anyone knows anything about that. I have heard they need more maintenance than other watches and I want to know if there's any truth to that.
If I'm spending 5k on a watch I want it to last me my whole life.

>>13940248
The moonwatch with the hesalite (acrylic) crystal is more prone to scratches than sapphire, but it won't shatter like sapphire could. Just get some polywatch to polish the crystal if you scratch it. As for servicing the movement it's about the same as any other mechanical movement. Every 5 years is recommended to get it serviced. It being a chrono movement will cost a bit more than just a standard 3-hander movement due to the complexity.

>>13940264
Also they're not very water resistant. They can't go anywhere near as deep as a lot of others.

Is there anything more pretentious than getting a Rolex over a Tudor?
At this point Tudor is the better brand and better value for the money. For Rolex you're paying for name only.

>>13940424
If you get a rolex because you're being a snob and think that "tudor is the poor man's rolex", then yes. If you just want a rolex because you just like a particular ref, then no. I do agree that tudor is better value these days, especially since they started using in house movements.

>>13940424
No? A Rolex still holds value way better than any Tudor, and if you want something to last a lifetime that you can pass on to your kids a Rolex is still the way to go. Imagine inheriting a Tudor instead of a Rolex because your grandpa thought "Oh gee I'm too good for a Rolex."

Rate.

>>13940611
American watch brands aren't as interesting as they used to be. Timex is making a decent recovery, but imo Bulova and Hamilton are only worth it for vintage.

>>13940029
Tudor is actually owned by Rolex, they're like a sister brand, designed specifically to make watches which are well made but to a lower price point than Rolex.

They're not a Rolex in terms of prestige, and the finishes/designs are not what you'll see with Rolex (their dive watch is chunkier and less svelte than a sub, with no white gold markers, for example), but they make solid high quality watches with in house movements and relatively "fun" designs for a pretty good price in their segment. The Black Bay GMT is an especially good value, IMO, for what you're getting.

>>13940670
>their dive watch is chunkier and less svelte than a sub
Not anymore now that the BB58 is out. Also the indices on the 58 are gold aren't they? Not sure about the hands.

Anyone else keep a movement on their desk? I like to wind this Parker and let it tick on my desk.

>>13940414
I like my presage. A buddy of mine has I think that exact model and I know he loves his. Bit on the thicc and heavy side, and I wish they hadn't put a transparent caseback if they weren't going to decorate the movement.

Opinions on Citizen eco drive watches? I have one and I'm getting another, but I'm curious as to what people think of them.

>>13940705
Yea I'm not sure why either. The domed crystal doesn't help either (although I'm still glad they have them).

TUDOR IS SHIT DONT BUY A FUCKING TUDOR YOU FUCKING RETARDS

>>13940670
Tudor is innovating, they're coming up with in house movements, they're improving designs. Build quality is as good as anywhere. The BB58 is basically perfect size-wise which shows they're trying to be better and that's refreshing to see from a brand that was always just Rolex Lite. And they're cheaper than Rolex which makes them excellent value.

Rolex has been riding the same fame for decades and refuses to innovate and get better and instead relies on their name knowing boomers will always buy them because of it.

If you're rich, get a Rolex. If you're a young professional trying to establish yourself and want a watch that makes a statement without draining the bank account, get a Tudor.

There is nothing wrong with wearing a Tudor in your 20s, the BB58 is a very nice watch

Maybe if you are 35-40+ you probably should’ve progressed to Rolex if you’re still wearing a Tudor

Not to say that people in their 20s can’t wear Rolex, but it could give the wrong impression as well

>>13941009
That's literally my plan. Get a Tudor while I'm finishing school. Have a nice watch while I establish my career and then get a Rolex later.

I've actually seen someone wearing one of this IRL. It was horrendous but totally matched the person wearing it. Over tanned body builder type wearing his 1 size too small white Armani tshirt and sunglasses trying far too hard to look rich.

I need a watch for several upcoming events in January I have to go to. The only one I have is a Casio AE1200WH-1B since I like the look but recently the plastic face cracked when I was on the job at the range.

I was originally going to just another one for like $20 but I still need one when I am not out in the dust all day being physical. I found pic related in a google search and was going to get it but turns out its a limited watch and is thousands of dollars.

Fuck me.

Since I know fuck all about watches, maybe one of you guys can suggest me something similar to pic related for under $200 or anything different you think is /fa/ approved.

Im going to a business event with international people from Asia and 2 weddings, one here in states and one overseas in South East Asia.

If anyone happens to know a good wallet off the top of their head, please tell me. I need one too. Mine got severely damaged.

>>13941140
You might be able to find deals on the Timex Marlin at around that price. That's for a mechanical, 34 mm. Looks pretty classy, can be dressed down or up.

Also check out the Orient Bambino, lots of different dials and colour choices. These are automatic watches. The only caveat is the irregular lug size - he'll be pretty much stuck with the leather strap that comes with the watch. A bit cheaper than the Marlin and larger size, too.

If he's more of a practical kind of guy, get him a Citizen Eco-Drive instead. Solar quartz watches, a lot of options to choose from. I'm sure you can find something he'll like in this range.

/g/ wasn't perfect, but it was at least better.

>>13941168
None. Regulars can ignore my post from now on, as they've probably seen it a million times.

I received mine in perfect condition, aside from a chronograph wheel engagement issue which was easily corrected by my watchman. Currently it runs +0.5/day, though his timographer thing had it under 0.5 for the main orientations (crown up and dial up). It's been almost a year I think...and it's performed excellently.

Yes, it's thick, but that's what happens with this kind of chronograph movement plus acrylic crystal. Given that I bought it for the aesthetics (1960's China) and for the performance (if well regulated, it's an excellent movement), I have no complaints.

>>13941170
>not liking Chinese Communist Watch Aesthetics.

>>13941172
Nice! You got the 19 Zuan variant with only 1 line of text. Do you like it? How's yours running? Yeah, it's noisy (I can hear it from across the room) but in all honesty, I like that. If you listen to a Cal. 321 Speedy, it's nearly as noisy, so I honestly don't care. I like hearing 'the mechanics', as my Seamaster is nearly silent from the heavy-duty casing.

K.

>>13941190
Yes we already established you're a retard, what's your point?

>>13941183
I like it very much, I wear it quite a lot since it fits my aesthetic. I don't know how much exactly it gains every day (it has never run late, only fast), but it is surprisingly accurate.

The watch is noisy but I can't hear it across the room. It's when I put my hand next to my head that it drives me crazy.

I just noticed that you have the 21 Zuan variant, is it the 42 mm one? Had to get the 38 mm for my tiny wrists.

>>13941185
Yup. But it's also a column-wheel manual wind chronograph, which is perhaps the only one you can buy new for under 500$ in today's market. Normally a column-wheel chrono will run you at least 1500, depending on who makes it.

If you want your first mechanical chronograph, you can't go wrong with this. The only thing you need to do is have a trusted watchman look at it when you receive it, just to make sure everything is okay. Then you can wear it like any other watch. There's a meme about the watch breaking if you clap your hands...but really, it's like any low-cost watch: if the movement is in order (well lubricated, clean, well adjusted) then it'll run according to the quality of the movement, and the Venus movement was one of the most well-respected chronograph movements for its time.

For me it's a fun watch; not only used to time pizzas in the oven but also to wear when I want something with more pizzazz and fun-factor compared with my Seamaster. Also, it has satisfied my initial want for a Speedmaster, as the 1963 is essentially the same watch in terms of function (though obviously different in terms of aesthetics and build quality). In other words, I know what it's like to own a mechanical chronograph. Mystery solved.

>>13941198
Nope, mine is the 38mm, but I got it from the dealer in the Netherlands. There are tonnes of variants, but this dealer had the best price for my shipping location, and at the time had a very good reputation in terms of delivering watches that weren't problematic or in need of serious repair.

I initially wanted to get the 42mm, but then I noticed that the hands don't hit the indices because they're too small on that watch...it threw me off, and I hated it, so I went for the original.

>>13940091
Very slick anon, pure class

>>13941198
Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Look at the hands on the 42mm. Bullshit. If they'd extended the hands, then I would have gone for the larger watch because the balance of the face looks better for the subdials.

>>13940125
Because its ugly as fuck. Pushers and crown are huge. All the numbers on the dial are too large and all the numbers on the bezel are too small. The entire thing just feels out of proportion.

>>13941206
>>13941210
That's pretty shitty. The way the hands hit the indices exactly right makes it so easy to read.

>>13940390
Ive always loved the look of this watch, didnt realize it had movement issues though. Care to explain what is so cucked about it?

>>13941206
I wonder if there are any new variants that drastically change the dial design, I know that there some /wt/ anons with a panda variant

>>13941215
Exactly. They clearly weren't thinking at all...but then again, it doesn't matter. People don't buy this watch necessarily for the aesthetics...it's the cheapest chronograph on the market.

There's a part of me that was severely tempted by the black variant though...beautiful.

>>13941161
bump

>>13941226
If you're doing 'events', why don't you just get something cheap but nice for the moment.

Citizen eco-drive; they're cheap, and they run well, and sometimes they get the aesthetics right. Take this square example for instance.

>>13941233
I would like to have at least one nice that I spent more than $20 on.

>>13941237
Yeah, but here's what you're dealing with. In short, watches are separated into two types: mechanical (driven by a mainspring), and quartz (usually battery powered). Quartz watches will be in general far cheaper, and mechanical will usually be 120$ or so and up.

With quartz watches, you can almost have any aesthetic you want (tool watch, 'nice' watch, etc.) within a reasonable price range. With mechanicals however the prices become very steep very quickly depending on the aesthetic.

Perhaps Seiko or Citizen are your best bets for a 'nice' looking watch that isn't going to cost you thousands of dollars. Here's another Citizen that I personally like, though I'll try and find a pic of my favorite eco-drive formal watch they have...hold on.

>>13941237
Sorry about the pic...it's essentially the same watch, but with a white face. I think it looks awesome....but that's just me.

>>13941237
If you go mechanical, you can always go Seiko as well: other Anons can vouch for them and give you more info.

Finally, just remember that in many situations, no one cares what watch you're wearing. If you're wearing a suit, it'll be under your sleeve, and since most people today don't wear watches anyway, it's not going to matter if you choose not to spend money on one. If you buy a watch, it should be something you want, not really something you need...at least in this world.

>pic recommended, but a little expensive.

>>13941258
>If you buy a watch, it should be something you want, not really something you need
Well for work a watch is useful but I would never buy anything over the $20 I spent on mine since its likely to get damaged in a few months time and need to be replaced. But I would like to wear a nicer one when not at work and these upcoming events gave me a good opportunity to buy that nicer watch. I just didnt know anything. And that watch I posted here >>13941161 I only liked because it was the same brand but it had that nicer look and rugged aesthetic but the price was way more than I thought.

Ill look into tool watches since that sounds like what im looking for and I will check out Citizen and Seiko as well.

>pic recommended but a little expensive

Google says its 300k. Only slightly outside of my budget.

>>13941164
I think he'll like the Citizen, it is a bit over my budget but I think it looks really nice. Thanks for guiding me in the right direction anon

That anon here, this one is nice. I havent looked at this brand yet, still started off looking at "tool watches" before moving to seiko and this brand. But ill add it to my short list to decide from. The colors are appealing.

what do you guys think of those youtbe shilled watches by mvmnt or whatever, its pronounced movement

>>13941291
lol I couldn't help it...it's a a thing of beauty, so I posted it.

Tool watches are essentially like what you posted: watches built for ruggedness and function. Under normal conditions, one would not wear a watch like this for formal occasions like weddings. For formality, you would look for something that is very simple (i.e. telling the time only, and maybe with a date window), that has hands instead of digits, and is a valuable material (gold/silver). Something that doesn't stand out, but that is quietly respectable, dignified, and obviously somewhat expensive. Refined, in other words.

That's why I wouldn't recommend you going in that aesthetic direction that you mentioned (i.e. more like the tool watch kind that you posted in the pic). This is the problem. If you go in a different direction, you might not wear it outside of the events you have, which means it's kind of a waste of money. Getting an expensive tool watch in my view is a little stupid, because the whole point of a tool watch is that it's disposable and easy to replace. Granted, if you have the money and you don't care, then go for it. But even people with diver watches don't dive with them for fear of them flooding (I do, but I'm obviously in the minority for Seamaster owners).

>>13941293
>>13941300
Definitely consider the Orient. There are lots of variants, and it's affordable and the pics always look good. I've heard various reports that they're loud (the mechanical movement can tick loudly) but other than that, I haven't heard any bad things about them.

>pic - my daily wear watch, for scuba and suits. Fuck the haters...

>>13941306
Overpriced and bland. You can do better for lower, e.g. Timex, Casio, Citizen, Seiko

>>13941314
I really like this one. Been looking at it a lot.
I'm kinda torn between one of these Omegas and a Tudor.

>>13941333
Go with what sings to you. Try them both on, see how they look on your wrist. Mine is the old version, the one with the modified ETA movement. The new ones have the co-axial, with minor changes like applied hour markers, a longer minute hand, etc. The Tudors are fine too, though they might have a bad rap just because it's been known as the 'poor-man's Rolex' for so long. But I've never heard a bad thing about the actual watches from owners.

If the price isn't the problem, then in truth just go try them on and see what you think. I was horrified when I tried on a Reverso for the first time because it was so damn light compared with any of my other watches....it felt like the kind of watch you get out of a gumball machine at the local arcade. Furthermore, when I looked at it closely, the finishing on the casing wasn't particularly impressive...and the JLC runs about double what I'd normally pay for a basic Omega, and that doesn't even count the pre-owned market.

I've never handled a Tudor, as the aesthetic doesn't appeal to me. But if they're Rolex engineered, then in all honesty I don't see any downsides. Most people today don't know the connection of those brands, so really just buy it for yourself. A snob will be snobby no matter what, but if the watch makes you happy, then in a sense that's all that matters.

In today's world, buying a watch for more than 2$ means you're buying it for more than practicality. In other words, aesthetics, beauty, status; all of those things become reasons why you're buying a watch that costs more. Because of this, it becomes more and more difficult to 'justify' your purchase to others...which means you simply have to justify it to yourself.

When you put it on, do you smile? Does it give you good service? Are you okay with it losing or gaining time? That's all that matters in the long run.

In my experience, what makes a watch special is what the watch (and subsequently, the wearer) has been through.

>>13940999
Okay this is BASED

>>13941194
(You)

>>13941216
They wear out fast as fuck, need constant maintenance and oiling, and failing to do so cuts the life of the watch drastically.

In the end I will probably buy one in a few years anyways.

What do you guys think of Invicta or Casio?

>>13941443
Invicta: Utter trash.
Casio: What you buy as a poor kid.

Do Seiko make any 40mm divers?
It’s strange that a Japanese company makes big watches.

>>13941138
For one, those are nappy-haired, weave-wearing, ghetto-ass nigresses that should be working at TSA, not fucking Rolex.
I bet even DJ Khaled was like "the fuck are these apes doing working here?".

And as ghetto-ass nigresses, those nails are part of the uniform.
And when you have nails like that + a severe excess of melanin, you will be incapable of ably performing semi-intricate tasks like sizing watch bracelets.
Which is why she needs fucking pliers to position a bracelet pin for re-insertion; see >>13939847

I vaguely remember rolex changing the types of pins they use for bracelets to something other than standard steel, to stop bracelets stretching out over the decades. Anyone have an article detailing this? Haven't been able to find it.

>>13938704
Those shirt collars are effay as fuck.

Is there a region where Roman numerals are used for the day display or is it just something that looks cool?

Would I be dumb for spending $480 on this Seiko Prospex SNE520P?

I kind of really want it.

>>13941727
I hear arabic days are in fashion now

>>13941805
That seems expensive.
What do you like about it? Wouldn’t you rather have an automatic?

I have a problem with this watch. It beeps but it's to low, you can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? I really like this watch and it's a shame that such a useful function doesn't work.

>>13941826
I really like the diver look and I don't have anything like it at the moment. I already have this Seiko watch that's an automatic, but I want something that's metal/aluminum/whatever and also nice looking.

>>13941833
If you really like it shop around. If local stores carry it, try and wait for an end of year sale or something.

>>13941852
Unfortunately that's where I've been looking and got the price from. It's currently at $480 down from $650 cause of Christmas sales.

>>13941830
It will probably be the peizo being degraded. You probably won’t be able to fix this.

>>13939375
Absolutely kino watch

Are you getting anything for Christmas /wt/?

>>13941830
Find 5 bucks, buy a new one, problem solved.

>>13941902
Probably the Grand Seiko US only limited edition. I have my eye on a few other watches so maybe I'll get another 1 or 2.

>>13941866
Thanks, that was the missing word I was looking for. I read you can try to replace it. I'll find some cheap Chinese digis and see if I can thinker with it before moving to the Seiko.

Is there a market for used low end Japanese watches ?

Been on the Fitbit grind for over a year

>>13940854
1. tits or gtfo
2. we don't wear watches for YOU, roastie

>>13941934
Are you an Invicta owner by any chance or still wearing Casio?

>>13941902
No need, I already have a Black Bay.

>>13940854
Post watch and pusy pls

>>13941830
Those ones have a actual speaker instead of a piezo disc you see in most watches.
Only real way to fix it would be to replace it, you would have to get one from another watch or or find a new old stock replacement.

>>13942002
I've some old lcd watches in flea markets. Is there a chance the old Chinese watches have that?

>>13942014
If you see one with a grill, it will have one of those speakers, you need to get the right size though.

I actually have one extra laying around, how much will you pay for that?

>>13942023
Might be worth trying a rare earth magnet or some other means to remove debris from the speaker too

I want more money to buy watches

Hmmm

Tudor is the "I made it" watch brand.

Nigga my laptop got a i7 and you think I haven't made it?

Taking these to a charity shop because I can’t even be arsed to put them on eBay.
If anyone wants a bargain head to the Cats protection Charity shop on North Street in Bristol, U.K.

how are blancpain's? specifically this villeret ultra slim. what the fuck do they cost to service?

most reliable movement in terms of durability and not needing constant service/oiling under $4k?

>>13942023
I don't know what I'm willing to pay since I don't know if I can fix it or not.

>>13942030
I'll try a deep clean first and the see where that leads me.

Thanks, it's always nice when I learn something from these threads.

>>13942070
>Tudor is the "I made it" watch brand.
You don't really believe that, do you?

>>13942086
To be fair if you’ve sensibly spent £2500 on something completely obsolete it does suggest you are wealthy.

>>13942089
That logic doesn't pertain especially to Tudor

>>13942072
I really like this one

>>13942089
I see it more as the porsche boxter of watches. You're doing ok but you couldn't afford the 911 you really wanted.

>>13942089
>>13942091
>>13942093

>>13942105
Okay, this is epic

>>13942092
yeah, I'm really digging it too. A plain great lookin dress watch. Not too badly priced either. 38mm as well which is good since I got really skinny wrists.

Could you possibly get a "better" watch for the money, sure.

But here's the thing, no one is going to notice your watch but you. So buy the one thats gonna make you smile everytime you look at it. Plus, its not like seiko is a band brand. If you were wanting to buy a MVMT or something itd be a diff story

>>13942221

>>13942206
>not getting a sundial ring
But for real, how warped is your mind that your defense for automatics against quartz (ignoring led screens) is that quartz needs servicing too?

>>13942304
It looks more like anon simply correcting the one that said quartz don't need servicing. Calm your tits fag.

>>13942304
I didn't say one was better than the other. That's all in you silly little head. I just pointed out you're factually wrong in your claim that quartz don't need servicing.

>>13942072
This looks like a basic tissot and I bet it's like 10k+ lol

>>13942311
It’s really not required. I have several quartz watches from the 70s that have never been serviced and work fine.

>>13942322
I'm not saying you're full of shit but how would you know if these 40-50 year old watches have never been serviced

>>13942322
Just because they're working doesn't mean they don't need servicing. There's plenty of boomser with 20 year old Rolexs that have maybe been serviced once. Doesn't mean it's good for the watch. Or BMWs with 70k miles and one oil change.

Anything with moving parts, be it electrical or mechanical need to be cleaned and oiled occasionally to preserve longevity.
Don't be surprised when your watch suddenly siezes up because you neglected it for to long.

>>13942234
Tudor is the best watch brand on the planet you fucking cunt.

>>13942320
you can nab one for like 5-6k eur

Junghans gang

Whats the deal with Shanghai watches? $40 for a good looking automatic. Is the quality bad enough that it'll stop working in 6 months or what?

http://www.good-stuffs.com/Classical-Shanghai-wrist-watch-in-the-old-days_p_83.html

>>13942635
oops, i meant "mechanical" i think all of these are hand wind

>>13942635
Dunno about the watch but good stuffs is flat out the worst online distributor in human history

There's plenty of reports of people receiving watches that look nothing like the watch photo on the buy page, and of course no returns/refunds. Most of their shit breaks within a month, if it didn't arrive broken.

>>13942083
Grand Seiko's 9F movement has all of the vital and/or moving parts encapsulated in a hermatically sealed compartment.
Even when you open the watch for a few minutes to change the battery, nothing gets to the vital parts/seals/lubricants/...
GS' website used to say the 9F could go at least 50 years without service.

>>13940414
yea can't go wrong with a seiko in that price cat

>>13940646

>>13942778

Don't mistreat that strap. Junghans for some reason, I guess profits probably, opts for using shitty cheap leather.

>>13942784
I wanted to put it on a metal strap anyways

What about the watch itself? Are there better watches up to €500?

>>13942787
>Are there better watches up to €500?

Probably, but Junghans is good enough. Uses a pretty standard ETA movement, fairly accurate and it looks nice.

Not much else to complain about other than the strap.

Thinking about preordering one of these, what do you guys think?

>>13942810
Which are those that fall under „probably“?

I probably won’t buy another watch for a long while, it better be worth it.
I also heavily considered the Longines entry-level models.

Someone please help me decide

>>13942826
Normally I prefer blue dials but the silver works better with the overall theme there. Heat blued hands are nice too.

>>13942826
White is a classic and timeless. Blue is currently the 'in demand' color for dials across all brands. Tough choice. I personally really like that blue but the white background date window does seem to clash with it in the photo, I'd have to see it in person to judge better.

>>13942812
Looks neat. Love the double domed sapphire crystal. Overall enjoy the way it looks. Good size too. I'd at least consider it.

>>13942826
>>13942835
I'ma agree with this anon. The blue would probably look a lot nicer if it didn't have dark hands. The silver and blued is not just easier to read, but better looking.

I don't frequent this page often,but I was given this.
Wtf is the 2nd dial on this for?

>>13942855
What second dial? You mean the inner ring with 24hr markers? The date on the right? The minute chapter ring? Either way my condolences for the shitter.

We wuz Patek

>>13942860
I'm not big on watches/etc or terms for them, nor do I see myself ever spending big money on them because I'm too invested in other hobbies to care about wearing jewelry or visual items of value.
I was trying to figure out if it was something for a day counter or whatever.
My manager gave it to me,so I assumed it was a bargain bin item.
If I'm given something from work I usually wear it a week then donate it to a homeless shelter.
Thanks for the appraisal,lol.

>>13942878
wow cool story bro

What do you guys think of this 38mm Speedmaster?

>>13942812
Watch looks cool but hate those end links.
What size is it?

Best diver watches in the 1500-3000 range? Automatic of course.

>>13941940
Looks good my dude

>>13942912
Cool size but ugly

>>13942968
That's a range pretty much owned by the Seamaster, though I do find the pic related Longines quite appealing

Personally I recommend you continue to save up, 1-3k is a really awkward range. Watches start to get super cool in the 4-6k range

Why are all watches so thick and wide?? Is it that hard to ask for something that is 40mm-10mm max that can withstand a bit of punishment?

Tell me about the coaxial thong Omega has? What should a potential buyer be aware of?

So did this cost $3000, or just your first two children?

When you do it yourself, or personally pay a reputable watch maker to do it for you. Preferably only on watches that already had fucked dials, or Bocтoк tier watches with especially shitty dials.

There's some cool Seiko mods out there with hand made dials and hands.
