are all black watches versatile or would they look weird with lighter outfits?

How do you work the timer on this thing?

Is that the reissue?

This thread splitting is fucking retarded and literally is the best form of trolling possible on these threads.

>>14067627

>>14066978
I was the guy that told the guy who made this to add the prospex x

>>14067627
could that strap be thicker?

So, are you guys into watches?

This is my dream watch. I'll get a black strap though.
Planning on having enough for it by the end of the year.

>>14067935
why 2 crowns?

>>14067935
Good choice, it's a watch that can be worn smart or casual. The new Polaris line has been a huge success for JLC.

>>14067833

you ruined the watch face. congrats.

>>14067974
One rotates the outer ring though I'm not sure how useful that is in the non-Memovox version.

>>14068045
And they wonder why everyone flamed the shit of them on release.

>>14068020

>>14068145
what were they thinking...

>>14068246
They were trying to aim at a new demographic that AP do not currently sell to. Rich idiots with no taste who think fashion watches look cool and want to spend money on a real watch so walk into an AP store.

>>14067130
I wear mostly dark colors...
Might get this as a first watch

>>14068005
How does it rotate it though? Does unscrewing it unlock it and you then it with your hands or does the act of turning the crown make the outer ring?

>>14068444
Turning the crown simply rotates it the ring. It's actually the only part of those models I don't like. The marker doesn't lock in any way at 12o'clock so it's kind of easy to accidentally move the crown when it comes in contact with your wrist.

>>14067565
Yea.

>>14067105
total junk

>>14067521
Tgv?

>>14068444
Literally like a submariner bezel, but is inside the case, so you move it with the crown.

>>14068420
this is some generic as fuck fashion watch shit

>>14069479

>>14068956
this

>>14069766
yeah, maybe I will. Junghans and Nomos are gorgeous. Maybe I'll get some grad money too.

Tell me about Glashütte. How are they as a brand? Do they fly under the radar or will I appear super flashy wearing one?
Lately I've been obsessed with this Senator Excellence without a date or any complications. I can't get over how beautiful it is.

>>14069803
A milestone like that should be celebrated with a nice watch. Get a Junghans.

>>1405

>>14069852
They’re a great brand. If they had one flaw it’s that a lot of their designs seem a bit incoherent or have a little too much going on. Craftsmanship is really good. They’re very underrated even in the watch community. I would be surprised if anyone you encounter in the real world even knows what Glashütte Original is.

>>14067627
The clean dial looks way better than the wavy ones. Why the fuck would omega bring back the wavy dial.

>>14069923
From what I understand Glashütte Original is to A. Lange & Söhne what Tudor is to Rolex.
Is that an accurate statement? After German reunification the centralized East German watch company they used to be split and those two companies formed, with ALS being the premier one and GO being the sister brand

>>14068420
>first watch
You've never had a watch before?

wtf

1, 2 or 3?

>>14070021
Siblings is accurate. Glashutte get's smirked on simply because Lange does almost the exact same thing as them, only on a higher level
They're still fantastic in their own right though. I unironically prefer the Panmatic over the Lange 1

>>14070089
3. Clean and simple, one red line on the dial. Others look cheesy.

>>14070638
But some actor wore it in a movie once! Utter söy, it literally looks like a McDonald's toy.

>>14070647
actually the black one was never worn in a famous movie.

>>14070649
And that somehow makes it better?

>>14070658
I'm more interested in the fact that it's officially branded a SPEEDMASTER (how?), was designed by giugiaro and has an interesting movement for a quartz.

>>14070664
Peak onions right here lads. Remember brothers, watches are supposed to be like women: thin and european.

>>14070797
That band reminds me of the aquanaut.

>>14070808
I bought it because of the SLA017.
I’m thinking about putting it on a NATO but worried it will sit too high off the wrist. Two piece NATOs are underrated

>>14070817
Aquanaut came first though, anyway it’s nice. I don’t like the bulk of NATO strap either.

>>14070824
What year was the first Aquanaut with the grid strap?

>>14070826
The 5065 was released in 1997. I’m not familiar with Japanese watches as I don’t really like them.

>>14070830
And I don’t care enough to familiarise myself with Seiko. Something I never want on my wrist.

>>14070830
The Seiko came 30 years before then.

>>14070845
Yeah, I know maths too.

I got this from ebay for £10 listed as broken-untested and put in a £3 new battery. Need to get a new crystal but real fucking pleased with it. Thanks to that anon who recommended a a914 last thread.

>>14071059
How do you plan on getting a new crystal..?

>>14071077
Just on cousins UK for 15 quid. Gonna be reusing the crystal's rubber gasket which is a big fucking no no but that's a part I can't find, have no choice.

>>14071087
You can buy a fully printed crystal for a 40 year old Seiko digital??

>>14071119
Yes, Cousins is a phenomenal source for parts. Here's part of a list for a crystal I bought from them last year, for fitting in to a 50 year old Seiko. Each listing is a different watch that the crystal fits in.

>>14071119
>>14071153
Here's the watch in question, the crystal cost £11 and it's exactly the same specifications as the original for 1970.

>>14071087
Good luck with that. I've never attempted changing a digital crystal, the fragile gasket and the panel cover seem like a nightmare not to accidentally ruin.

>>14071153
Wow that’s impressive.

What do you think of the new Chris Ward? This time it's automatic.

Why though? They are almost polar opposites how Ward watches are dull and Invicta are ostentatious and gaudy...

>>14071431
He means they are essentially a fashion brand that copies other better watches.

Back on the bracelet. Could really use some micro adjust but don’t want to have to pay for the newer clasp.
It was a little tight so I took out a half link and added a normal link and now it’s too big...

>>14071439
Ah ok.
I feel like the C65 range has been good but god damn that logo .

Is the SKX007 the most 80s looking black dive watch?

>>14071506
Would've been great without the 9:00 logo. Oh well, maybe they'll get it right eventually.

Talk me out of getting this no date beauty.

>>14072023
Post a better picture of the dial, is it flat or textured?

I know there are some Accutronfags here.
I have a 214 that was serviced a few years ago and I'm having a few issues, namely it stopping during the day and picking back up after I tap it and less importantly it's a pain to set. I know only to set it by turning the hands clockwise, but it sometimes turns without catching the hands.

I'm using an Accucell battery, maybe I need to use something else with more juice?
Any tips for either of these? Though pretty sure the hands probably is going to require a big service.

This is the real thread

Bump

Post your perfect watch that doesn't exist.

My pick:
>Diver watch and bezel
>Flieger-B dial
>Lume on the dial, the bezel and the hands
>Day-date at 3
>Spring Drive movement

I wouldnt wear anything else for the rest of my life.

>>14072727
Forgot to add
>42mm

>>14072727
A titanium snow frake only it's 39mm.

>>14072727
I'd love your watch if it didn't have lume on the hands and markers, only on the dial, the way Damasko does it. It ends up being easier to read. Speaking of which, you might find a Damasko that is close enough to what you want.
As for me, either a handwound no date 37mm pic related OR an SBGW235 that is thinner, has a power reserve on the back, beats at around 21600 (I like the sound more than 28800) and has the proper, THICC GS hands. I swear, the only real problem I have with that watch are its folded hands. They look fine and they're very well polished, but they're not the lovely multifaceted hands that other Grands Seikos have.

>>14072962

Be honest, has watch collecting made any of you any happier? For me it hasn't. Everytime I want a new watch I can look at pictures of it on the internet for months and I'll convince myself that it's the perfect watch and I'll never want another one, but once I actually have it I don't even like it anymore and start lusting after another watch. It's a fucking never ending cycle and I'm never satisfied.

>>14073543
According to the TV show monkey magic, desire can never be satisfied. Instead of how a watch looks maybe you need to learn to appreciate them on a fundamentally deeper level and adjust your taste accordingly.

>>14073543
That's could be applied to consumerism in general. Buying stuff because you think it'll make you happy.

Also everyone when they start collecting makes mistakes. Buying watches you find out you don't actually like once delivered or find out there is actually a better model or brand you only discovered after the fact.

>>14073543
I find the same. I spent £3k on a watch and it just annoyed me that I had to baby it so I sold it and went back to cheap watches.
Then I bought another Omega and now I’m kinda bored of that.
I’ve made a conscious decision to put more effort into my more creative and progressive hobbies like photography and music.

>>14073715
Yea I used to be the same with phones and cars and cameras. Basically I need to get out more and take more photos.
I like bing a watch guy and I like that you can be an enthusiast without spending a fortune. Also the types of watches i buy don’t lose value.

Do you guys ever just question life and ask what’s the point of this all? Everything just feels so pointless when we’re all going to die. I’m teetering and I really want to go out soon.

>>14073732
> Basically I need to get out more and take more photos.
Do that, you'll feel much better.

Whenever I buy a new watch I always wear the hell out of it. Never buy one to simply own it. Use it. Same advice applies to all the stuff you mentioned.

Now I own so many watches I can choose one to fit my mood on any day. Yes they make me happy :)

>>14073738
Nice blog faggot. The future of western civilization is what's teetering on a precipice not your insignificant life. Stop writing my little pony fan fiction, stop watching tv and just try learning things.

>>14073738
It is pointless but I like it that way. It means I'm free to write my own story however I like. Nobody has to tell me what I want or what I should want I'm not part of a "group" or "race" for all I care I'm myself and live by my own standards, I already know very well what I want.

>>14073754
your concept of "western civilization" is what has to fall and will fall. The subulation between west and east is dialectical and absolutely historically impossible to prevent it has always happened and always will thats a good thing it means humanity overall evolves and progresses each time at an even faster rate it indeed becomes more humanitarian socially/culturally too, it's an ascending species discarding the bad beliefs and ideology that keep them down slowly but surely.

>>14073796
You're retarded. The first world being invaded and overrun by subhuman trash from the 3rd world isn't going to evolve or progress anything. However that's a discussion for another time and place I'm out.

>>14073808
what made that emigration a necessity for them? could be the imperialist history and the systems used to hoard by that "west"? yeah, that was it.

you "west" created it's own conditions by the things you praise as "fair" to have that to happen to it, now out of necessity it will be subulated and thats good. Lesson learned. The EU itself is proof of that historical lesson learned. People care less and less about Nation mindsets, now it's supranational, now it's global. And that means it's over. The standard of "what is freedom" is something that humankind (not an ethnicity or a race) will have to agree on as a whole. Humanism was unstoppable from the start.

>>14073543
>>14073568
>>14073715
>>14073718
>>14073732
Maybe you just need to stop buying cheap crap -for example Seiko, Casio, Sinn, among many others, etc- and get a real watch.
That consumer regret factor normally disappears with well made watches, above the 10,000 USD mark.

>>14074016
Who said I was buying cheap crap? Only the first anon did.

>>14074016
This is such bullshit.

What is that? I thought only Oysterquartz models had that case and bracelet.

>>14076150
1530.

>>14076152
Neat.

My Seiko Dolces arrived from Yahoo.jp auctions. They're it great condition, the one on the right has a tungsten carbide case so is scratch free and the gold one has a nice textured dial & case that you couldn't make out in the ad.
The gold one is getting a new black lizard strap as the one it came on is very short.

>>14076194
tungsten carbide fuck yeah

>>14076194
Interesting bracelet on the right. How do you size it?

>>14075564
These look really good.
I bet they're absolutely amazing irl with the curved dials.

>>14076209
20k good?

>>14076194
How much did you pay for those vintage quartz shitters?

>>14076213
It's 29k for the urushi dial versions, and yes absolutely considering the expert hand craftsmanship that goes into those dials.
The blue one in steel has no urushi dial, and is around 7k.

>>14076194
yiss

>>14070683

>>14070771

>>14076220
Around £55 for both.
>>14076229
Which movement is that? The tungsten one has the 9531, which is a HAQ that was rated at +/- 20 secs per year.

>>14076240
5E31, another supposed HAQ.

>>14076279
Cool, the gold one of mine is a 9521 which is a standard +/- 15 secs per week movement.

>>14076238
Yea this is my zany watch.
Took off the seconds for minimalism (really, I couldn’t get the fucking seconds hand in).

I googled Credor you idiot, I don't familiarise myself with inferior brands but it still doesn't help your case, both looks cheap as fuck.

>>14078693
Found the HOMOS owner.

At least HOMOS produces a quality watch, Omega is complete garbage.

>>14078725
Explain to me what I'm looking at

>>14078739
As you can see, the bezel of the watch is completely misaligned and has 25 where 60 should be. QC on omega watches is atrocious

>>14078739
>>14078746
Look at the spring bars (this feels very strange to say - how can you look at the spring bars of a watch? Well, with Omega you can)

>>14078746
Doesn't the bezel move/spin?

>>14078644
They look okay if you're not a so¡bo¡ wristlet

>>14079059
He's a seething nip-obsessed weeb. Kindly disregard.

>>14079059
Agreed. They offer sizes a small as 33mm so will fit anyone's wrist as long as you get the correct size.

>>14078644
> Large watch looks too big on a wristlet.
Well duh.

>>14078644
Pretty gay of you to collect photos of men's wrists no?

>>14079083

>His watch movement doesn't even have gold chatons

36mm DateJust vs 33mm Royal Oak. Thoughts?

>>14079147
On those wrists the RO looks better.

>>14079158
on any wrist really. The datejust isn't a good looking watch imo

>>14079218
It’s an Oyster Perp with a cyclops

>>14079218
False.

I like the smooth bezel, wish they made the bezel white gold. Only the fluted bezel is white gold and the white gold gives it that extra punch and shine.

>>14078681
> looks like a 0,50$ Shenzen special

oh shit, i see what y'all did there

When was the Calatrava introduced smart guy?

>>14079617
That particular model is in current production.
Why do you ask?

>>14079662
Sure, but when was it originally released? As we know, in the world of horology, lines continue to look the same many years after.

>>14079668
So what you're saying is simple, classic designs with low-key but high-end execution have great appeal?
huh...

>>14079678
No, I’m saying original designs can be copied over and over but the original still shines. Copies are copies, they don’t diminish the original design.

We're not talking about being copied, we're talking about expensive watches looking simplistic.

The Calatrava came out at a time when high-end watchmakers were tripping over themselves trying to cram as many complications as possible into their watches, and was such a hit BECAUSE it looked unassuming and simple.

Reminds me of my casio. I fucking love that little watch.
If they would have chosen helvetica as a fond, made the numbers just a little bit smaller and placed it like normal human beings it would be just fine.
Case form, proportions, hands, dial color are looking awesome tho.

>>14079742
those are sweet little things, especially for the price, they really make them look good.

>>14079147
definitely the royal oak

>>14078679
I can't even tell what all the features added to that are.

>They look okay if you're not a so¡bo¡ wristlet
The problem is that Nomos watches only appeal to so¡bo¡s regardless of their wrist size.

>>14079812
Yeah. And i couldn't imagine wearing a small, golden watch one day. But as soon as i got fed up with modern 42+mm shitters i discovered how nice smaller dials are to look at. Also somehow fell in love with the gold tone.

Cheapest V7750 watch, original ETA/Valjoux or clone?
