If it’s a moonwatch you’ll probably regret it.

I have a few scratches there and it bothers me ;_; can you polish that surface? who can do that for me?

>>13965688
Really? Seems pretty boring

Yeah, nah.

My new watch, The Citizen CTQ57-0954. Took me nearly two years to find a nice used example on Yahoo Auctions Japan, but I'm happy I finally found one.

Titanium, perfect size at 37mm x 10mm, Grand Seiko -tier finishing, excellent lume, the greatest quartz caliber in the world in A660, rated +-5s/year, perpetual calendar, independently adjustable hour hand. Simply the best daily watch there is in my opinion. And the lacquer-like blue dial is gorgeous.

>>13967602
Looks nice my man

>>13967437
>being this clueless

Is this a good fit? It's a 42mm on a flat 7" wrist if that's important
Ignore the $50 shitter

>>13967669
40 would look better but 42 is ok.

What are you buying anon?

any reverso lookalike shitters for 100-200? i need to try it on my wrist before buying the real thing. no jlc dealers here

>>13967672
Thanks man.
Right now I'm considering an SKX009 but in the future I really want to own a Speedy pro

It's like, we're here to help. If you're a watch collector, you see life, things, the way they are, in all its glory, in all of its perplexity, and the more you know as a watch collector, the more you become overwhelmed by it.

>Collects shit
>Calls himself watch collector

>>13967687
He collects watches that are shit.
That means he is a watch collector.

>>13967692
Neither of those abominations are watches. There are only 6 manufacturers of watches in the world and his are neither of them.

Thinking of getting this one. Anyone has experience with STOWA?

>>13967687
>>13967692
>>13967697
I think it's a privilege to call yourself a watch collector and it's something you have to earn. And because a watch collector does, he or she has the ability to create new and better realities, and improve conditions.

>>13967697
Do you have a screw loose in your head mate? Those objects that you see in that picture are watches. Look at the picture again, my friend. I kid you not. You might have looked at that image real quick and seen something else, like toy grenades or something else, but if you look closely you can see that it is actually watches. Look again, mate.

>>13967701

>>13967686
>removing something I like

>>13967707
Neither of those are ALS, PP, VC, JLC, AP or Bregeut? What do you mean it's a watch? There are no companies beside those making watches. Stop pretending to be clueless, you know EXACTLY what I mean.

>>13967715
Do you have a screw loose mate? You missed somewhere between 2000 and 4000 companies that produses watches. I know you won't type that many companies in a single post on 4chan, but the way you wrote that it makes it sound like you didn't know that they existed at all. Just a heads up, my friend, people might misunderstand and think that you've been dropped on your head as a baby or something. You should probably think twice before you post something, lest you post something wrong again.

What does a watch with a 31 date calendar do if the month only has 30 days?

Cheapest European in-house movement outside of ETA/Swatch?

>>13967736
Unless it's a perpetual it goes to 31. You have to adjust it every non-31 month

>>13967742
Alpina

Addicted to shitters, really considering this watch right now. Anyone own it? Does it wear true to size? I assume most round watches will

>>13967742
Speaking of this, when eta stop supplying non swatch companies, will eta be an 'in House movement' to brands like Longines and tissot?

>>13967708
Firstly fleigers are supposed to be big, secondly they do a 36mm version.

>>13967727
My friend... It doesn't seem like my posts are going through to you.. It's not really hard to understand is it. Only 6 companies make watches, the rest that you inaccurately consider to be watches is a long running gag that has been going on for centuries in this world. You technically don't own a watch unless it's one of those 6 earlier named.
A Grand Seiko, Rolex, Omega is NOT, let me reiterate, NOT a watch! I know this is hard to understand, but bare with me! I've included this easily understandable (even if the person has a learning disability, which I think might be relevant in your case) picture to understand what a watch is and what isn't a watch. This is essentially a very hard redpill to swallow, especially for supplicants and other guttersnipes of the lower class, but that doesn't make it less true does it?

Happy new year!

>>13967779

So is Stührling basically a bad replica maker?

>>13967437
>make a point of making the end links fit snugly between the lugs
>don't make them fit longitudinally at all
why

>>13967779
My good friend. I see that you have a problem understanding reality. What I first thought was laziness while writing the first posts is actually what I feared but didn't quite believe - until now. You suffer from delusions. All the mentioned manufacturers make watches. This is not a joke and I am not trying to fool you. They are all watches. Grand Seiko, Rolex, Omega all are such companies that make watches. I know this is hard for you to grasp, but let me just show you this image. It is a mechanical movement that are placed inside a metal case and will move some hands on a dial that tells you the time, and even ables you to use pushers to use it as a stopwatch. Oh gosh, if you only saw this in real life in front of you, you would believe what I'm saying, they are actually real. You can, with your own hands, hold one of them, and look at the seconds go, look at the time being told on that dial. It is a watch. I wish you would believe that it is real, and maybe, just maybe, you someday get to see it for yourself.

>>13967779
Left: Rap niggers / rich relative died

Right: I worked hard to become a success and earned the watch

>>13967819
How can it possibly be a watch when that thing that isn't a rotor but looks like one says OMEGA instead of having the Patek Philippe cross? I think you've hit the new years booze a bit early my friend..

Now pic related, that's a watch! Oh my!

>>13967701
The no logo no date is the nicest looking flieger available imo. Ignore the twigwrist who thinks 40mm is too big, it doesn't wear particularly large and the dial is meant to be large anyway.

>>13967834
Isn't it funny that a mostly machine finished movement can be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the handfinished movement in your picture? And at the same time more accurate when telling time as well? One could actually, with some logical thinking, come to the conclusion that the movement on my pic is MORE of a watch than the one in your picture. Ironic isn't it?

These are all Chinese companies manufacturing fake watches that like to make a little bit of legitimate cash on the side by branding half their stock with their own companies so they can get away with selling it in retailers.

>>13967844
Not really, since it's an Omega abomination. Your point would've been valid if Omega was a watch

>>13967807
Federico who?
And why would he even know that something like that happened? I'm 99% sure that it must have been a lie anyway.

>>13967844
Not really. Your point would've been valid if it was more aeshetically pleasing AND if Omega was a watch. It's unfortunately neither. It's quite unfortunate that the information of the picture I showed earlier didn't go through. May I have the e-mail to your special ed teacher? I'll tell her to try to help you understand it once the winter holiday is over, young chap.

>>13967859
But my friend, why are you in a watch thread if you don't own a watch?

>>13967859
Post your watch then faggot

>>13967768
Yes, that's their whole plan. But non-Swatch companies will probably still be able to get drop-in movements for the same cases by other manufacturers.

pure kino

>>13967880
I have watches, believe me. Terrific watches. The best ones. Everybody knows this. When I stroll down to the cigar bar in Fitzrovia, all the other gentlemen present always compliment me on my watches. They go "Oh Anon, what a terrific watch". Everybody knows they're the best, like me!

How dressy can this be made? How bad would it be to wear with a suit?

>>13967908

I like this model but I think it is inherently casual and will never work with a suit.

>>13967908
Not really bad at all.

>>13967602
good for you lad

>>13967908
Match the leathers and you should be fine. Other than watch autists, no one really gives a shit what watch you're wearing with a suit.

>>13967908
Maybe not full dress but a suit and jeans

>>13967908
The truth is that 99% of people wont notice the watch, and of the 1% that do, almost none of them would give a shit about it not being dressy enough for a suit.

This triggers the watch thread.

>>13967965
how much was it

>>13967965
>mudshark

>>13967943
Good argument.

>>13967955
You mean like pic related?

>>13968003
That’s why you buy Seikos, right

>>13967977
Around $330 due to Sweden, watch prices are horrible here. You can get them online for like 230 but shipping was hella expensive

>>13967817
The obvious answer is they set up new tooling for the new maxicase design, but they only planned on changing the tooling for the endlinks at a later date to save costs.
Rolex has a history of doing this, see all the "transitional" generations of various models.

>>13967965
I got one of these after I had anal sex for the first time.

>>13968054
Cool, were you sore?

worn daily for almost a year now, holding up well

>>13968067
How's that gold bezel doing?

I'm really tired of they whiny poor in these threads, especially the ever whining grand sheitko faggot

>>13968073

soft as butter, lots of micro scratches under direct light, but not noticeable under normal lighting. The steel is really soft too desu, my clasp is scratched to fuck from resting my wrist on the laptop. but considering i wear it daily i'm impressed how good it looks still

>>13967854
Of course it was a lie idiot. I just want to find the video because his autistic melt down was hilarious .

>>13968098
Dat delicious dial

>>13968143
I don't find anything about the datejust delicious. I don't like fluted bezels, the hands, the bracelet, the 5,10,15,20 track or the cyclops on a dress watch I just find the whole thing really unpleasant to look at.

>>13968180
This is what I don't like about Rolex desu. Only one I'd ever consider to buy would be the Daytona. Thay fucking cyclops is ugly, if you don't get roman numerals then you have ugly fucking lumes on your hands (YUCK!!),

I know that you all here are rich af and omega with rolex are starter watches for you but could someone recommend me a good everyday watch below $1000? I really like pic related but it is hard to find it where I live.

>>13968190
No one cares, not like you can ever afford one

>>13968067
fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet is the way to go

>>13968196
Have you considered Longines/tissot?

>>13967908
First time I wore mine was to a funeral. So, I don't actually care. But >>13967922 said quite rightly; if you can, match the leathers. Then at least there's some excuse...

Happy New Years Watchanons!! Thanks for an awesome year.

>>13968227
What's the deal with people who own these are they just into communism or something?

>>13968214
>can't ever afford a €9K watch
when rolex fanboys get hubris

>>13968220
Will check longines, thanks. As for tissot, I don't really like any of their models.

are old USSR watches good or no

>>13968237
It's not a 'deal', it's that Chinese watches are now competitive for their price, and they will be branded at times with the commie star. This one is a reproduction of the 1963 Chinese Pilot's Chronograph, which uses the Venus 175 movement which is now only made in China.

A few anons here have one; they're fun and affordable.

>>13968256
They are a very underrated brand. I have the master with the blue dial and alligator strap. The conquest heritage is also nice. If vintage is your thing, Longines can be very affordable. They also have the hydroconquest divers range.

>>13968260
china isn't like japan. I wouldn't ever consider something built in china by a chinese company competitive unless it's a category of product that's intended to be disposable. I couldn't trust the chinese to make a reliable car engine much less something with hundreds of microscopic parts.

>>13968280
I understand that completely. There is a difference with this particular watch however.
1) The movement is the Venus 175, not a Chinese clone. Venus sold the tooling to make the movement directly to the Chinese govt. in the 1960s, and the only things that have changed are very small minute changes to make it cheaper to manufacture. In terms of reliability, the Venus was a workhorse that was relied upon by many brands; if you get a new 1963 chronograph, if the movement is clean and well lubricated, it will perform to the same standards.

2) The areas of question always relate to the casing of the movement and the finishing and final shipping. The bottom line is that this is where errors and problems can creep in. That's why if anyone says they are going to buy one, I always recommend that they have their watchmaker have a look at it when it arrives, so that if anything is strange they can take care of it immediately and then wear it without worrying.

3) I understand not liking the aesthetics of the watch or the communist symbols. For me, it's an historical curiosity that is (in my mind) new-old-stock. To each his own.

4) The real-world performance of mine has been very good (it's currently holding at 0.5+ per day), and I've had it over a year. I have no concerns or problems, nor do I see it as particularly unreliable. I wouldn't get it near water, but if I had a Speedy I wouldn't get that near water either, so that's that.

5) Finally, it's a column-wheel manual-wind chronograph that is under $500. There is no competition for this in this price-range, and most chronographs that are less expensive are cam operated (which isn't necessarily bad, just different and easier to manufacture). If there was a comparable movement in the same price range made by the Japanese, then I'd agree with your sentiment...but there isn't, so I'm happy with mine.

Happy New Year!

>>13968264
I thought longines was a zombie brand.

How can I find out what battery my penis quartz uses? Or does it not matter as long as it's the correct type/size? I bought this thing years ago and forgot to get replacement batteries with it.

>>13968338
Type/size is all that matters

>>13968336
Meh, brands can make a comeback with quality and still relate to a long heritage. Tudor went dead for years too. Longines I feel is moving back more into the luxury segment of watches and prices will rise sharply over the next 10 as swatch pushes Omega up in price to match rolex. Longines definitely has a unique style and place in the market as a luxury Swiss automatic watch with enviable heritage that is less than 2k

Anyone know of any aftermarket bracelets that fit the Seiko srpc39 well? Besides strapcode and other more pricey sellers.

>>13968336
With increasing sales now at nearly 2 billion chf?? Its one of the world's hottest watch brands. Prices going skywards eventually.

>>13967239

>>13968017
It's obviously intentional. Before the maxicases, the lugs used to be pointier and they stuck out even further past the endlinks.

>>13969081

>>13969141

>>13968569
>It's obviously intentional.
But then what about >>13968003

>>13969281
what about it. It's intentional.

>>13969281
If they matched the length of the lugs it would not only look retarded but make the lug to lug width retardedly long.

>>13968569
Im not him, but I don't get why Rolex maee them longer than the end link. It really does ruin the look, and defeat the purpose of how snug they are.
I'm not even sure if it being intentional is a good thing, as it means they deliberately made the endlinks not fit.

Is it acceptable to wear a stainless steel watch band whilst working out?

I'm trying to find a watch that will look good no matter whether I'm working out, dressed formal or sitting home in a t shirt and boxers playing my vidya.

>>13969429
If the bracelet is fitted, your wrist is going to pump up and it's going to be uncomfortable. If you have to wear a watch while you work out for timing or whatever, I'd just get an F91

>>13969857
What is it, that is getting you tired?

>>13969864
Probably the lack of jannies on /fa/ cleaning up the two to four /wt/s that are up at a time. That or the archie loving rolex/tudor fags that shit up every thread calling anything that isn't owned by Rolex a shitter.

>>13969321
So the lugs being longer than the endlinks is intentional, even when the lugs are just as long as the endlinks?

>>13969359
So why do they match the length of the lugs here: >>13968003
?

>>13967701
I have the chrono LE version of your pic related. It's nice I guess.

>>13969953
Not him but it’s not matched, it’s just the angle of the photo. Lugs are always longer than the end links on Rolexes even if just by a few mm.

>>13969953
They don’t match the lugs at all, looking at the file name you got the photo from this listing:
https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-116610-submariner.html

Your photo source: https://www.bobswatches.com/images/Rolex-ceramic-submariner-116610-109135.jpg

And on this second photo, it shows that the lugs are longer. Stop baiting man, the Subs always have longer lugs.

>>13970038
>>13970026
But why?

>>13970041
>>13967817
>don’t make them fit longitudinally at all
It’s because that’s been the Submariner design since forever.

>>13968017
You sound like an idiot who’s trying to sound like he knows Rolex manufacturing. What tooling? Shortening or lengthening end links doesn’t require tooling change. Their endlinks aren’t stamped out, it’ll be a quick change with their cad files. And as proven by this post >>13970038, it’s not some Rolex cost cutting bs like you’re trying to perpetuate.

>>13969375
Matching the length of the end links to the lugs isn’t aesthetically pleasing at all. It’s makes the watch look too blocky

>>13970060
Those lugs aren't matched at all though.

>>13970053
>I-it's a feature

This is Submariner design language.

>>13970064
Post other watches with matched end links, it’ll look blocky. >>13970064
It is intentional design. >>13970064

>>13970049
How do you guys afford watches like this?
I've been saving my allowances for a year now and I'm still far from my grail

>>13970026
>>13970038
Making the difference so tiny gives even more of an impression that the end links came off another watch.

>>13970077
Maybe for you but it doesn’t at all, here’s a Skydweller. It’s part of Rolex’s design language.

Virtually all clocks with Roman numerals use IIII. Just about ever clocktower in this country, and every mechanical clock in my family uses that same 4.

>>13970131
>>13970134

That.

>>13970156

At least it provides some background and possible reasons why.. Most people never even realise that there's something 'special' about the IIIIs on clockfaces, especially outside of Europe where Roman numerals are even less commonly used.

Anyone got any watch recommendations for Hedi Slimane’s style? Both dress and casual. Preferably minimalist or bauhaus style as well as being in the 100-300 usd range

I generally don't recommend watches in the 100-300 usd range. Not because I'm a snob or anything, but because I firmly believe that the quality is quite poor in that range. 300 is bordering OK, but it will almost always feel and look like a cheap watch. And that is not enjoyable.
