Fuck the Seiko Alpinist starts at 480 euro right now. It will never be cheaper again, will it?

>>13972196
No. It will instead rise in price because they discontinued the line.

>>13972190
Not him, but it's a SARX055.

>>13972112

cope

>>13972207

Think they'll make a replacement for the SARB line a year or two down the line?

Although I heard that they're trying to move upmarket ( lol! ), so they more or less killed their 300-400 dollar range offers intentionally.

>>13972278
>Although I heard that they're trying to move upmarket
Yea and that is fucking bullshit. I will never pay over 1000$ for a Seiko even if some watches like the snowflake is amazing looking, I wanted a proper blue alpinist. Disappointing.

>>13972017

>>13972284

>>13972292
you jealous faggot?

>>13972283

I feel you. I just want another SARB033. The old stock is either ridiculously priced, or used while being sold as new, per amazon.

Honestly why would you ever want that hideous green thing anyways?

>>13972284

>>13972190
SARX055, very pretty but quite expensive for a Seiko. I got it for 90K yen while I was in Japan

>>13972017

>>13972283
They may bring us a blue Alpinist, but it will probably be over $600. If they do though, I hope they improve the finishing even more, and bring back the stock SS bracelet.
I hope to God they don't instead pull a presage and put a 4R35 in it. That would be worse than not making it at all.

>>13972272
I'm not the one who has to cherry pick for hours just to show that my $10k watch has the same finishing as a $5k "shitter"

>>13972458
I actually couldn't tell which model it was, I remember wanting one a while back cause I think they're good looking watches. 41mm seems a little too big though.

>>13972458

Holy shit that gap on both side of the lugs. It's simply unacceptable to see it on any watches above $300.

>>13972469

Sorry, but that's just wishful thinking. Seiko thinks the 6R15, which is almost the same as the 7S26 you get for 50 dollars in an SNK809, is a "600 dollar watch" movement. Yeah right.

You better get used to coughing up 600-1000 dollars for a fucking 6R15... Seiko should know their place. It seems they have no idea that they haven't the prestige to pull a move like the one they're doing right now off in the west.

>>13972471
Not just cherry pick, but outright photoshop.

>>13972650
I think what happened is they looked at companies like Rolex and realized the western market doesn't really care about quality, but instead marketing. Now instead of making quality watches for a respectable price, they are trying to pull a Rolex and make a lower quality product, but hey it's a Seiko! The only difference is Rolex spent decades building up their name to where they could afford to scam their customers. Seiko just hasn't had that, and it will bite them in the ass.

Then they realized that when they made watches for Japan only those baka gaijin found a way to import them to western countries against Seikos will. So now no one gets decent watches for under $1k.

Muh photoshop

>>13972724
So are there any actual good watches in that price range, if GS and Rolex are scam shitters? And if you say Tudor I'm going to fist you

>>13972737
Well this: >>13972719
literally was photoshop.

And your pic shows god-tier finishing compared to Rolex.

>>13972746
At this point I'm not sure. Omega stopped giving a fuck years ago, Rolex is absurdly over priced, Tudor is fake Rolex, and Seiko is in the process of selling their soul.

>>13972737
Imagine how bad it would make Rolex look to get a photo of this magnification on even their flagship watches! To be bested by a shitter tier watch from nipland! Oh how embarrassing

>>13972724

How is Rolex scamming people? The price premium their watches have is entirely the fault of everyone and their mother wanting one. As far as I know, the product quality never dipped, only improved ( see those fucking rattly bracelets from before the millennium )

>>13972807
Does this make you a tad happier?

>>13971627
Bambino SS butt ugly? U wot m8

>>13972823
Such a great looking piece, blows any affordable dress watch out of the water.

>>13972823

They definitely won't win any awards for their aesthetics, that's for sure.

>>13972819

Looks like a 50$ watch to be frank with you.

>>13972819
That was one of the few in focus. The effort does make me 1% happier though fwiw.

Tudor makes it's own movements now so it's decent, but in any case I would save up and get the exact watch I want rather than spend money to get something I don't particularly like.
>>13972921
I own a couple of hand wound ones.

Good morning wt

The Seiko 3883 was the first Superior branded Seiko quartz (and the only GFA-branded watch they've made, as far as I know, in the export version). It was to my knowledge the most precise watch in the world when released, specced at 2spm, and was the most expensive watch in seiko's catalog at the time by a decent margin. This watch has the rare "morpho"/"butterfly" dial; it's mostly green but changes color to blue or purple depending on the light or angle. The 3883 was the first of five watches branded as Superior, the others being 4883, 9481, 9681, and 9983.

Someone please give my cat and monster compliments

>>13972017
Any of y'all know anything about Laco watches? I want a nice simple watch with a leather strap, but I don't really know jack shit about watches, my collection consists of a couple of casios I got for free.

>>13973149
I'd like to stay under the $500 mark. I'm not a watchfag by any means and I don't intend to become but I'd like something that I can wear to impress people and wear to events and whatnot. It won't be my daily watch.

>>13973185
>I'd like something that I can wear to impress people
No one cares about your watch.

>>13973185

>>13973139
haters will hate because "quartz" even though its a very nice watch with an interesting history and more accurate than shitty mechanicals

when this came out quartz was seen as the future and the next best thing

>>13973000
all this photo shows is that rolex has increased prices not much more than inflation would have. their watches are much higher quality these days anyway so some extra price is expected. fuko

>>13973289
>water activated
I've never actually seen that.

>>13973305
Unlike most quartz watches that use a silver oxide battery, this watch uses a wet cell. There's a reservoir that holds water and has two different metals with different electronegativities immersed. When the reservoir is filled with water a small current is generated. The reservoir is fairly small so the water evaporates in a few days so you have to keep it watered.

>>13973326
That's fucking neat but I can see why it probably isn't more popular

>>13973289

>>13973450
Heritage is a major part of being a respectable high-end maker. Even the Chinks can make quality watches these days, but you'd never consider their stuff haute horology because their brands don't have long illustrious histories.

>>13973502
Mostly generic boring-ass dress watches.

>>13973501
Only the 4 mega crystrons are particularly notable. Your picture is of a non-haq, pretty basic watch. The crystron name was used for a huge variety of watches.

Show me a Chinese watch that's even remotely on the level of Lange.

>>13973510
That's just marketing bullshit to justify the high prices they can charge on a "Swiss made" watch. Remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_crisis ?

Lange had to stop because of WWII and subsequently communism since they were in East Germany.

After communism fell in East Germany in the late 80s Walter Lange revived the brand, and he's the great-grandson of the original founder of A. Lange & Soehne.

As far as I'm concerned, Lange's heritage is unblemished.

>>13973823
T b h when it comes to watches like Lange, I don't give a fuck about the heritage, they simply make the finest watches and that is all. I wouldn't hold it against them even if they were a 10 year old company with zero heritage.

>>13973829
I totally get that.
But with Lange, the heritage is still as real as it gets.

And I also think they make the nicest old-school top luxury watches out there, outside of microbrands.

>>13973759
Fakes and shitters, kill yourself

>>13973823
This. There is a story and direct line all the way back to 1845. Anyone who thinks ALS has no heritage is retarded.

I'm not going to claim the prices are reasonable, but a Rolex 60 years ago had folded endlinks, folded links (or riveted, even worse), a less accurate lower beat rate movement, possibly no chronometer certification, lower grade steel, dim lume, less water resistance, aluminum (or worse, plastic) bezel inserts that fade in the sun, steel hands instead of white gold, a plastic crystal, and worst of all only one or two lines of text on the dial.

am I doing poorcore right?

Okay well emailed the guy making it and he sent back a fucking essay

>I appreciate the message! To be honest, it gives me a great deal of excitement to even fall under the same sentence as one of the venerable EO straps. So I'd be delighted to compare notes!


>As an owner of an EO strap myself, a total watch nerd, and a product designer, the following thoughts come from a place of simply seeking the best piece of gear in its relative class (elastic watch bands).


>1. From the very get-go of wearing the EO strap, I felt that the closure hardware was far too tricky for such a simple concept. It routinely took around a minute or more of awkward fiddling just to secure it to my wrist.


>2. The closure hardware also felt a bit bulky on the bottom of my wrist. A sensation reinforced every time I'd sit in front of a keyboard.


>3. The metallic closure hardware was also entirely exposed, meaning whatever surface I was resting my wrists on would become a scratch magnet.


>4. The elastic seemed good enough. But felt a bit stiffer than necessary in my opinion.


>5. Aesthetically, the elastic itself, aside from the signature central pinstripe, felt a bit sterile. The dense grid weave, while neutral in appearance, just left something to be desired in my eyes. A patterned weave would go a long way for me.

>That all said, here's what I did for Hook Straps to address these issues:


>1. Priority #1 was getting the elastic just right. I worked with a renowned elastics manufacture to achieve a strong yet soft and breathable elastic with a very tasteful twill weave to provide just enough visual interest on its own. This elastic has shown to meet military standards in terms of durability.


>2. Priority #2 was slimming down the design as much as possible. This means no elastic beneath the watch, no bulky hardware, just a trim and concise package. And having just come from developing the Cap Strap which utilizes a big hook, I had already taken a few steps in identifying the perfect hardware for an elastic watch band: An in-line Hook! So I sourced some appropriate metallic hooks (for strength), and came up with a closure system that kept all hardware between layers of elastic, never contacting the skin, nor able to protrude on the exterior to scratch any sub-wrist surfaces.


>3. Priority #3 was ease of use. Installing and wearing the Hook Straps is (in my opinion) far easier than that of the EO straps. It installs basically like a Nato Band that is then folded through the slider, adjusted, and finally terminated onto the Hook. Once you have the sizing dialed in to your sweet spot, the watch slips off the wrist with your size saved in the loop. It then slides back on, and the Hook just latches onto the loop in a matter of seconds.

>In terms of pricing, it might sound a bit too good to be true after all that I've said here. And in truth, I could probably ask for a higher price, but it would be all markup with my current set of costs. So unless an accountant tells me to change my ways, the current price feels fair to me.

The sterile dial is how the original looked. I personally prefer sterile dial on pilot watches.

>>13973514
I like the design of a lot of these 80s quartz seikos

>>13973618
This watch has always looked like shit, just like every Gerald Genta design.

>>13973726
One of the worse Longines designs I've seen.

This is why Rolex will continue to fuck you over. You care so little for fit and finish, you probably don't know what's wrong with that watch.

Speaking of quartz seikos the 'gold' double penis arrived. In the auction pics the bracelet links looked the same as the regular steel 7000 bracelet but they're actually a slightly different, cheaper design and incompatible with the steel 7000 shieeet. There aren't any pin to remove links and the end links are hollow.
Despite being a couple hundred bucks cheaper, it looks to be in at least as good condition as the steel one and the bracelet is long enough to wear it.

>>13975230
Interesting, shame about the bracelet but glad it's at least wearable.

>>13975230
What's a good price to pay for the watch on the right? I'm seeing quartz Seikos ranging from $300 to $2000.

>>13975166
>Precista made an almost exact copy for like $800
That's just the basic "Type B" flieger design from WWII.
Some of the original(*) wartime manufacturers like Laco, Stowa, ... are still making homages, also for around that price.

>>13975166
>>13975393
Although that Precista seems to have a more faithful movement compared to the likes of Stowa and Laco etc.

How much were these?
I got mine yesterday and love it.

>>13975319
AFAIK 700-2000 depending on how well the day&date wheels operate and how many links are in the bracelet.

>>13975487
550 and $750 or thereabouts. Yeah it's probably a good time to pick up an 8000 there have been a lot listed lately.

They also didn't even make hands for it. They quite literally enlarged the case and dial, then just took old stock hands and slapped them on. That's what Rolex quality is all about!

>>13975799

>>13975823

Oh I know, I just wanted to call him a retard.
>>13975832
Rolex was forced to make the Oysterquartz because Seiko saw the beautiful craftsmanship that was watchmaking and decided to shit all over it, and now they want to be considered a luxury brand lmaoooooo

>s-seiko forced rolex to make quartz!

The chad Seiko vs the virgin Rolex.

>>13975832
Its can't be. It's Quartz, and as he said quartz isn't horology.

>>13975841
The "virgin rolex" made the best quartz movement there was, thus proving mountain jew superiority over gooks. Seiko fags stay mad

>>13975851
It's unlikely to be as accurate as the better jap ones. That bar is set quite high

Someone explain to my why some people don't consider quartz horology?
Horology is just the art of timekeeping, so shouldn't quartz be considered part of that too? They perform better than mechanical watches and hourglasses which are considered horology

>>13975870
street shitters aren't people

>>13975865
read my post again, I'm talking about when quartz first came out and Omega and Rolex made far better movements than Seiko could at the time.
>>13975863
nice insult, quality response.
>>13975870
Sure it's horology by definition, but it is incomparable to fine watchmaking of mechanical watches. But if we want to go merely by definition, even your phone is horology. But it will never be haute horlogerie.
>>13975876
not a pajeet buddeh

>>13975851

Please be joking.

The 5035's frequency is 32khz, which had been the bog standard quartz frequency for many years by the time the 5035 was released.

>>13975885

http://www.oysterquartz.net/the_5035_movement.htm
>Even though the technology of quartz wristwatch timekeeping has moved beyond that found in the 5035/5055, this movement still remains one of the most "over-engineered" quartz movements ever produced and clearly carries on the Rolex tradition of solid engineering, superb finishing, and understated beauty. Advancements in technology have yielded quartz modules with superior accuracy, but when it debuted, the 5035/5055 only had one true rival from a technological standpoint: the 2.4Mhz Omega 1516 movement used in their famous Marine Chronometer wristwatches of the mid 70s. But from the standpoint of "build quality" and finish (anglage, perlage, and Geneva stripes), the 5035/5055 still reigns supreme, something that is not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

You do realize pic related is a quartz movement, right?
This is unironically Lange-tier finishing.

>>13975898
Th 5035 came out in 77. The japs were making quartzes accurate to 10 seconds per year or better by that point.

>>13975916
The very first Seiko quartz, the Astron, had the same accuracy spec as the Rolex 5035: five seconds per month. This was 7 years before the 5035.
Rolex had 7 years to do something, and all they did was make a pretty-looking movement that lagged behind in every way.

Rolex fanboy is seething.

>>13974291

I love how Jacob is making serious sgit and being respected for it. To me he's the guy that sold rappers ridiculously overpricwd quartz watches and even went to jail for doing business with gangsters. Thats the American Dream right there.

Rolex stopped producing quartz movements as did most horlogerie houses. You’re comparing something from 2018 when you compare movements from Seiko in the same era, it’s all utter shite. And you posting stuff from 2018 shows that as usual, the Swiss are innovators and Seiko is copying and still trying to catch up to us.

>>13976036

>Still seething at the Quartz revolution

The Swiss set the standard and they’re being copied left and right. First-movers problem.

>>13976045
>Rolex stopped producing quartz movements as did most horlogerie houses.

Because they made the best ones, right? Right.

>>13976050
I’m not a quartz movement expert but at the time, if you compared what Seiko was churning out vs the 5035...

>>13976045

>>13976045
So innovative they copied the jap's quartz, then gave up when they couldn't keep up. Since then they have made no significant changes, all while being left behind in both quartz and mechanical markets. To date the Swiss spend more time innovating watermarks on their watches than mechanical movements, or watch finishes and designs.

When you've stagnated so much that the chinese can make fakes that trick ADs you know you're fucked.

>>13976049
>"The Swiss set the standard"
>he says in the middle of a discussion about a Rolex movement that came 7 years after the original Seiko innovation, and still lagged behind in every way

>>13975743

It's not supposed to be anything else.

>>13976074
I know. And that makes it a very bland and borderline unappealing watch.
Literally the only draw is the Rolex branding.

>>13976068
It’s easy to stagnate when what you’ve been producing since day 1 is top notch. But when you’re Seiko and all you’ve been producing is picrel since day 1, people think you’re innovating because you’re copying Swiss finishing standards.

Also, the English and French invented movement finishing standards.
The Swiss watchmaking industry got its start making parts for the lower-end English and French makers because Swiss labor was so cheap. They were basically like China is today.

I just arrived now, back from work. I have say that the GS shillers are quite narrow-minded and childish. They accuse those who don't buy into the whole "GS is so EXTREMELY GOOD OMG"-meme are samefagging. As if it would be so hard to believe that more than one person think GS is overrated. And I think Rolex is overrated too, I'm not going to have anyone calling me a rolex shiller, because that I am not.

I agree, but the only thing I ever claimed about GS, which I know to be true 100% because I have unironically seen plenty of GS myself is that they are not flawless. Then some idiots made me out to be a "rolex shiller" and a "GS-hater", none of which I am.

Ok mate. If you want to believe he is me, then I'm fine with it.

>>13976573
Meh, I disagree (in my experience). They do have nicer cases for sure. But when I see closely on their dials I see flaws on both. Except I wouldn't really call it flaws per se, it's not expected by anyone that there won't be any sign of machine cutting or whatever if you look close enough. The human eye are not gonna look at those anyway. When you take all that into consideration then GS are nicer than Rolex, because they also have nicer cases and they actually hand finish them, which I think Rolex should start doing again.

>>13976574
Wow, surely you must be telling the truth and not samefagging on two different devices, because that would be impossible to do.
