The bezel obscures the fitment to the case, and there are definite gaps between the lugs and the end links.

Hmm...

Even $300 chinkshit fakes have better SEL gaps than a Grank Shitko, LMAO

At that point, why not just integrate the end link into the case?
And why does Rolex not pay any attention to other more important details?

>>13964915
Perfect end link fit is nice, I guess.
But for me personally it's way down on the list of details I pay attention to in a watch.
Like >>13964923
said, might as well just integrate the end link into the case if you want the most visually flawless look possible.

That pic is taken from a foot away.

Why are you having so much trouble finding actual macro shots of GS flaws?

>>13964908
Muh bezel obscures it! “Definite gaps” where? Here’s another one from 1981 angled differently and still no gaps.

It’s telling when a watch from the 80s with hollow, folded end links has better figment than a modern Grand Seiko. If it’s so easy, why don’t the perfectionist Japs do it?

>>13964977

That's it.. what is special with GS is now nothing at all. Good bye GS.

Yes you are good at cherry picking nice examples of GS and bad ones of others. But as we all know, GS has its own flaws too.

>>13964993
See >>13964984

>>13964991
You do know that the dial moves right? And slight shift will fix the rehaut alignment. You can realign the dial and rehaut easily. Your Seiko photo still shows the uncentered date and that’s a fault with the datewheel design, you can’t shift that.

>>13964999
Those aren't cherry picked.

Rolex has unfinished hand edges as standard practice.

>>13965003

You can use the same argument about Seiko and hands.

Here it is without the lines, tell me it’s centered.

>>13965010
Do you have the service records of that watch? Can you 100% say that it wasn’t some hack job watchsmith rushing up the casing of the watch?

Tell me, would you pay thousands to have a see through gap like this?

>>13965016
Yes it happens, but those are not standard and not how their watches are supposed to come out. It's manufactor flaws that Rolex normally would scrap before finding its way to a store. Sadly with so many rolexes world wide some get through the quality control and into someone's hands and then taken a picture of, and then found by someone like yourself when googling "rolex flaws" or whatever. You are larping as if Rolex as default is shit like that, while we both know it's not.

Henlo

>>13965020
I will never buy Grand Seiko with this kind of SHIT quality as seen in this picture.

>>13965028
It’s not even an unfixable flaw, the laser etched crown at twelve on the rehaut is perfectly positioned, dials are round and they move when you case them up and screw the movement down, you can 100% have it aligned. People should start complaining when the crown is laser etched at the 1 position

>>13965028

You're larping as if Rolex is anything other than quality mass production.

What is the best movement and why is it the 6r15?

>>13965020
>You can use the same argument about Seiko and hands.
Not really.
The bracelet is a detachable piece that gets worn out anyway.
Even Rolexes with the tightest possible end link fitment will start showing gaps after years of wear.

The dial is a completely different matter.
Whatever finish it has will stay.

>Here it is without the lines, tell me it’s centered.
Getting shit like that perfectly aligned in pics is impossible.
See pic.
And that's from a retouched vanity pic by Rolex themselves.

>Do you have the service records of that watch?
Google it.
This from brand-new watches.

>>13965026
People pay tens of thousands.
See >>13964887

The only reason to buy GS is because some people keep telling you that they have such nice hands. But if you don't even get that, then there really is nothing special about GS at all. At least not for me. You are kinda willing to forget about the reputation of affordable watch producer stigma if you can trust a high quality of external finishing, but if it's flawed then it's not worth it. Sadly for my part, because I have been considering GS for a while. No longer tho.

>>13965044
>6r15
Don't make me laugh

>>13965016
Why didn't you pick the ones already posted in the thread with flaws? Cherrypickin' ass nigguh

>>13965028
So what? You're going to pretend those misalignments don't happen?
I'm sure GS watches ship with flaws, but the percentage will be far lower.
That's what you get when you only put out a couple thousand watches per year, versus a million put out by Rolex.

And even if you completely disregard those misalignments, unfinished hand edges is standard practice at Rolex.

>>13965066
Everything has flaws if you go microscopic.
The rough hand edges on the Rolex on the other hand are clearly visible with the naked eye.

I'm not a rolex fan by no means, their watches are vastly overpriced. But I see right through your cherry picking shilling, and I don't like it. I guess I'm too honest of a person to take it seriously, wheras you are too much of a dishonest person to stop posting those lies.

>>13964893

>>13965079
>Citiation needed, shiller.
Find some.

It's a natural consequence of having more human hands involved in the GS production process, versus the far-reaching machine automation by Rolex.

k

Is it worth the hassle of a non hand winding auto? I've fallen deeply in love with the SKX009 but I wouldn't be able to wear it everyday because of work, so I'm thinking of waiting for a 7548 or 7c43 in good shape seeing as they cost about the same as a 009. Then I'd only have to deal with a battery change and maybe a service instead of doing the Seiko shuffle and setting the time/date every time I wanted to wear it.

so-called "blackpills" about watches are just advanced coping mechanisms to avoid the truth: you're a loser and everything that went wrong in your life is your own fault. you could have gotten everything you wanted, including a Rolex, if you tried a little harder. you're not even catastrophically bad in a way that might give you some fame, no, you're just mundane, boring, average, standard. there's nothing that makes you special and nothing that makes you worth being loved. whether you're an "alpha minus" going through $500-$1500 watches by the dozens or a shitter hoarder seething at people who buy mechanical watches, you're the same: a fuckup. not due to some great external factor like kikes, niggers or drumpf, nor due to some internal plight like having acne or depression or tfw to intelegent to socialize. there's a dozen steps you could take right this instant to lead you to the life you claim to want, but the truth is the life you really want is the one you already have, wallowing in mediocrity and making sarcastic quips at anyone who shines a light on your inconsistencies. millions of high quality timepieces are out there, and all it would take for you to get one is the right amount of dominance, the right amount of presence and the right amount of stability. all of you have it in you. but here you are, saying "fuck that shit I'll just get a seiko lmao", as if living life was an effort and as if being a slob was any better. cringe t b h

Not a huge effort if you ask me. The fact that the 7S26 doesn't have a hacking funtion (seconds hand keeps running when you set time) bothers me more than the fact that it doesn't manual wind. If it's stopped I just shake it for a few seconds, and put it on. I move my arms enough that it'll keep running after that.

Setting the time and date doesn't bother me, especially not because the watch usually stops for less than 24 hours, so I can just turn it to the correct time and date without actually using the day/date setting.

If setting time time/date really annoys you, or you barely move your arms for some reason, battery is probably a better option for you.

Kek.

Grand Seiko is boring as fuck, and Rolex is the most overpriced brand in the world. Why do you people keep comparing those two, out of all the things available?

>>13965136
That's true. Even if I'm not wearing it for a while I can still give it a shake every now and then to minimise losses.
The hacking doesn't matter to me, I don't need that precision. Plus it loses/gains a few secs everyday anyway.

I saw some gook on youtube who replaced the movement of a 009 with one that had manual and hacking, but I'd probably fuck it up if I tried

>>13965166
>>13965093
It's amazing that you have to zoom in so much more to see the imperfection on a watch half the price of a Rolex. Really shows how little of a fuck Rolex gives.

And they show very obviously that the GS is finished to a much higher standard than other major brands.

>>13965198
The question was why did you modify it.

>>13965176

My SNK809 was €65, and I don't think the 7S26c comes in much cheaper watches than that.. The SKX the other anon is looking at costs like 180-200 on a bracelet. If he didn't mention falling in love with the SKX009 specifically I'd have recommended something else, as 200 is pretty steep for a watch with a 7S26 movement.

I'm actually tempted to buy the SKX007 myself, but the price rubs me wrong. At the same time, all the Seiko divers with better movements lack the rugged appeal the SKXs have aesthetically.. I'm not even poor either, just very cheap.

>my watch has less instances of problems than your watch at a level a human eye can't see without a camera with a great macro or a jewelers loupe!

I'm that anon, and I'm getting second thoughts now. The cheapest I can get this watch in Sweden is around $330. I saw some sellers on Ebay selling one on a jubilee for $200 but I'm too afraid of getting scammed

>>13965172
>The hacking doesn't matter to me, I don't need that precision. Plus it loses/gains a few secs everyday anyway.

I like to keep an eye on how well watches keep time, so hacking helps with that. Also helps with my autism.. Back-hacking doesn't feel right, so I avoid that.

>>13965206
Oh, I forgot: +-€200,- is what they cost when you import them yourself. Depending on where, duties and taxes may be applicable.. If I were to buy one at the Seiko Boutique in Amsterdam they'd charge me €380,- (THREE-HUNDRED-AND-EIGHTY EUROS), which is like $435,- (US).

>>13965226
>>13965231
I’m just tired of that Gs shiller acting like GS is perfect. Rolex is basic bitch to me

>>13965229

I bought my SNK809 on Creationwatches.com.. Based in Singapore, and fairly reputable. There's a good chance you'll be charged with VAT and/or import fees (don't know if it's the same in Sweden as it is in the Netherlands, I think so due to EU) but you will almost certainly not get scammed. I don't even want to begin thinking about how shit the returns process would be though, all bets are off when it gets to that point..

There's a bunch of Asian-based watch webshops that do a lot of Seiko. They're all pretty reputable and FAR cheaper than EU prices, but none of them are authorised dealers, so you don't get factory warranty. Also the tax thing, which can really add up depending on where you are...

Thoughts on this watch?

>>13965202
It shows that they have flaws too. The flaws shown in other brands are for the most part only visible in macro, but not always. In GS it's for the most part only shown in macro too, but also not always - as seen in this thread we had GS imperfections shown quite clearly "FROM A FOOT AWAY" as you kept saying, and we had flaws in macro as well. I don't know about this image >>13965166 but to me it looks like it's the very same flaws that we've seen from rolex. But what GS also have are those uneven hands when one of their trademarks are actually to have even hands.

If you people are so into macro photos why don't you take some of your own watches?

>>13965279

The dial may have gotten a bit smudged with age.. The crappy looking O-M_E_G-A letters with asymmetric crap connecting them have always been that way. The faded indexes would not have faded if they had not been painted, but the fading itself is due to age obviously.

Be prepared to pay whatever VAT is charged, as well as whatever import fees Sweden has for watches. Also be acutely aware the post office might fuck you.

Example: Here it'd be €179,- +21% VAT, +€0,80 import fees + €13,- 'customs handling fee' by PostNL or DHL or some other package delivery service.

So basically €230 if you're unlucky.

>>13965306

Is this just a fashion watch brand? How bad did my friend get memed? In person, this watch seriously looks like it should be worth no more than $30 dollars. My $60 Invicta diver feels 10 times better made.

Don't believe his lies. Part of his condition is perpetual lies and multiple personalities. Just ignore him or report him if he starts to act out. Around this time of year his family may not have the time to be keeping an eye on his medication intake

>>13965385
I love this show

>>13965389
I'm the guy who earlier exposed flaws in GS, but some other guy(s) did the same too, so I'm not alone. And I'm not the guy(s) who spammed (you)s to my comment just now. But I think the GS shiller is ridiculous because he is shifting goalposts now that GS is shown with the very same flaws, plus some that are even worse.

>>13965397
I also got a single You
What a waste.

>>13965410
>the very same flaws
lol no

>>13965422
This is worse desu >>13964977

So now you people have to go microscopical to find the bestest?

I suggest using this pic whenever you can anon, lmao.
It definitely helps your case, I swear.

>>13965432
yeah seriously wtf happened to these watch threads. pretty sure if I put a rolex on my wrist my boss isn't going to break out a microscope next time I see him to remind me I'm a huge fag

>tfw don't have lupes permanently attached to my eyeballs so can wear a range of watches from different brands without getting constantly triggered by microscopic details

Based feel

>>13965448
Does it help that there are other >>13964952 pics with the exact same type of flaws? I think it's fair to say that GS is not perfect either, and in fact I think I'm ready to ignore you now.

>>13965432
>So now you people have to go microscopical to find the bestest?
No, only to find flaws on grand seikos apparently.

You have to be a real masochist to try and defend Rolex's finishing to grand seiko's.
Appreciate each for their own merits, is my motto.

>>13965462
It's okay fren, time to let go.

>>13965462
Ignore him. I've seen the same flaws in GS too.

>>13965462
>>13965466
Please don't go on another samefagging binge.

Rolex and GS are both cringe

>>13965477
yes correct? it is almost like the commonisms and the nahtzes, do not like ether!

We macro now?

This thread is comedy gold.
>whoa, a Rolex isn't finished to absolute perfection and neither is a $5k jap?
Who'da thunk it

>>13965474
I'm not samefagging, you moron.

Is anyoen familair with this watch, I'd liek to know if the compass dial inside moves when you turn the bezel

>GS is bad because a few atoms are rough at 6000000x magnification

>>13965480
only if it helps create more petty arguments

i'm not a part of this rolex vs seiko fight
i just came to say that i really like the mosaic dial on the new hi beat.
it just really does it for me

>>13965531
Yeah it’s stunning in pictures. I’ve never seen one in person but I don’t know how people can call GS boring when they are one of the few brands experimenting with interesting dial textures and patterns.

>>13965531
Are the minutes applied

>>13964952
Photoshopped, easily noticeable anon, do it better next time.

At least it was two entertaining days on that subject

>I don’t know how people can call GS boring when they are one of the few brands experimenting with interesting dial textures and patterns.
I don't get it either.
Plus, irl the cases are so reflective it's like magic.

>>13964952
Funny how those photoshop smudges are not in the original.
Really makes you think.

Lying anonymously to win a retarded argument is quite sad.

>GS requires a magnifying glass to barely see. Oh and is half the cost.
Oh so horrible, how will GS fags cope?

The seiko hater who photoshopped those "flaws" into that pic has a really worrying mental state.

Guess so.

Oof. Even with the nicks the Rolex is still considerably worse. If you showed a normie the three pics (without red circles, or names) they'd think the Rolex was the $1000 watch.

>>13965658
Not just is this thread nowhere near bump limit, but there's already another /wt/ that is also nowhere near the bump limit.

>>13966217
If you have to ask, yes.

>>13965399
Nobody knows anything about these? Is this a decent watch or a fashion watch meme?

>>13966269
What do you think? https://imgur.com/a/6CNO8

>>13966269
Its a true shitter, desu he got bamboozled

>>13966276
That's what it looked like to me. I've never heard of the brand and didn't know.

>>13966283
The thing looks like an absolute piece of shit. I can't believe he paid $600 for it. It was really probably like $10 to produce. What an absolute scam.

>>13966260
What if I replace it with this?

The Sarb is great value, but pretty emotionless, its like that 7/10 gf with absolutely stable personality, but then this 10 shows up but its never meant to last, and once you get to know her shes really shitty person in comparison.

The one you bring to your family, and the other one, all the other lads are jealous.

>>13966291
He is lying about how much he paid for it

>>13966298

>>13966291
>probably like $10 to produce
More like $1, nigga.

>>13966298
>>13966298
hat is a 10??

>>13966298
That doesn't look that much more interesting, but if you like it better then I guess you did good. I also had a SARB035 and sold it maybe a year ago. I still have a SARX017 that I'm also thinking of selling, but I think I lost the box and papers.

>>13966298
That dial texture is pretty nice. What's the ref?

>>13966299
Idk, he might have gotten memed really hard.

http://auguststeiner.com/men-watches/Endeavor-Collection-Men's-Quartz-Watch-AS8084

It looks like they keep changing the name of this model. His is called the "Conrad" but looks identical. Here's the Conrad for $60. (Note the msrp)

https://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/August-Steiner-Mens-Conrad-Ultra-Slim-Quartz-Leather-Brown-Strap-Watch/8915372/product.html

It kinda looks like their business model is to make this exact same garbage watch,
sell it at $600 to all the shmucks foolish enough to purchase at that price, and the change the name and sell all the remaining stock for piss cheap.

It depends on what part of this cycle my friend got memed at, imo looking at this thing, it's not worth even $60.

Even the typography of this shit if fucking atrocious

>>13966317
They don't actually sell at MSRP anywhere. He's just walking around telling everyone what the MSRP is as if that's "what it costs"

You said you had an Invicta? They do the same shit.

>>13966306
Watches are mostly about the "face" or dial in this case, also Im limiting myself to the affordable range, ofc the real deal snowflake is a real 10, would buy it in heartbeat if it was a truly mechanical watch, and also if I could afford it lol

>>13966328
How about the "baby snowflake"? 1k (maybe less), and true mechanical. In fact, the same movement as your old sarb.

>>13966310
I sold my sarb wothout them, still fetched an hefty price. Just loathe the indecision of seiko with the sarb, its not a dress watch, nor a sportwatch.

But no I havent purchased the baby snowflake, for many hundreds of dollars, in my case, a watch needs to be truly special, like the sarb was.

Heres the ref
SRPC97J1

>>13966333
The dial is far to big, comically enlarged.

Otherwise it would have been an option, I do love the idea of titanium, nowadays my wristwatch needs to be invisible due to the amount of handwork i do.

Anyone who can confirm titanium watches are truly light?

Blue or black seamaster pro 300m?

>>13966327
It's selling for MSRP right now on the first link I sent you. $595.

I'm definitely aware of the msrp markup scam.

>>13966345
Yet you are considering the equally large >>13966298
Yes they are very light.

>>13966352
Isnt it 38 mm while the one you suggest is 40mm? But anyway, the dial size seems off, just cant get over it.

>>13966378
I believe the one you're looking at is 40mm as well? 40.5 actually?

>>13966393
Maybe theyve grown since, if its 40 i dont care for it. 36-38 are the only dress sizes

Why do people pay out of the nose for skeletonized movements that are engraved? This eta unitas based movement is engraved with child labour for 100 bucks while a swiss version costs over 1000$. Can the swiss even compete?

>>13966447
What is this? Where to buy?

>>13966447
>This eta unitas based movement is engraved
No anon, no it is not, that movement is stamped, coated in something to accentuate the "engravings" then sanded to remove the coating from the face.

>>13966440
I agree with you, but yes I believe presage watches all are 40 these days. In fact, they are 40.5 if I'm not mistaken. So almost 41mm-tier """""dress watches""""

>>13966450
cbobois on ebay builds them, you can also order the movement separately, order some hands and a nice case and youre set. St36

They have the most autistic fans.
GS aren't boring, you really haven't looked at all the models. Some are, for sure, but really check them out.
In fact a lot of Rolex are boring as fuck too, but then they have some amazing watches. That's how brands work. Cars, clothes, watches, jewelry. Not every model is perfect.
Also, not every Rolex is stupidly overpriced. Most, but not all.

I want a watch like pic related. Something fairly rugged, minimal.

>>13966559
Not bait, sorry. You don't like?

Watches have lots of rubies, but sometimes you just want the one Ruby that really matters.

Just get a SRP777 Turtle instead. I have the same love for the SKX but also can't justify the price $230+. I tried on a Turtle recently and loved it. Looks way better in person. You can get it for $260 on ebay last I checked, with Seiko warranty.

>>13968943
Can the turtle and the skx use the same bracelets? They both have 22mm lugs.

>>13969033
I don't see why not but I don't have personal experience or knowledge on the matter. I feel the face of the Turtle looks fat with a bracelet but that may just be me.
