First for $20 'broken' A939

Reminder that most us army servicemen blasted their way through France rocking a 34mm

>>14112971
And they never should’ve.

>>14112971
Also mostly no shock protection and bare minimum WR if any at all.

>>14112971
At least you got rid of the Nazeeees eh?

>>14112971
And thanks to them I now have plenty of hormone-addled chicken meat that has given me a height of 6'3" makes 34mm look ridiculous on my wrists.

Times change. But god bless.

>>14113018
Nice galvanised steel dial

>>14113051
Well, you are an exception. But even for you a 38mm dial watch would fit perfectly. It's a lot easier to pull off an undersized watch than to pull off an oversized one.
Also, smaller watches are nicer to look at because of better proportions, imo.
Great example is a sinn that i saw recently. I hate sinn and but when i saw their 40mm crhono, i didn't want to puke for the first time.
Never understood what was so off about sinn watches, but now i do, it's the size that ruins proportions for me.

>>14113095
My bad, it's even 38.5mm, says their website.

Is anyone else Citizen-pilled here?

>Wearing non-European watches
Never going to make it.

Is it good/okay to wear a dress watch combined with casual wear? Imagine something like pic related, but combined with a plain T-shirt/other type of shirt, some slim black pants and normal sneaker-ish shoes?

I know that generally the rule is: metal band for casual wear and dress watches for formal wear. Just curious if I'm mistaken and/or if there are exceptions.

>>14113159
That shitter is too big for you.

>>14113152
>wearing overpriced shitters assembled from Chinese-made parts by yurocuck serfs

>>14113150

Citizen makes nothing but dependable watches. Sadly most of their designs are disgusting and the definition of mall tier.

The Chronomaster and a handful of other designs are an exception.

>>14113174
Nice reddit spacing there. There mallcore shit funds the good shit.

>>14113159
Completely depends on the watch. For that watch I wouldn't. The strap is glossy and the numerals are roman. Puts it just a step above t shirt and sneakers for sure.

>>14113159
did they make the bambino bigger or are your wrists extremely small? Regardless that's the most basic watch around. I'd take a timex over that ugly watch.

>>14113183
Forgot the image

>>14113163
>>14113188
Not my wrist. I just found a picture on the web showing the watch. I haven't bought anything yet.

>>14113185
Alright, what about something like this: https://reaklockor.se/herr/orient/orient-slim-collection-minimalist-fgw05001t-herrklocka/

Doesn't have as glossy a strap, and much more minimalist as the name suggests.

>>14113159
>people all over the world do whatever they want with their watches
>g-guys, i-is it okay if i wear a t-shirt with a d-dress watch?

How do normie fags like you even exist? The only time this could be frowned upon is when you are in a professional work environment. But i can not immagine how far up it's own ass a business have to be to despise people, wearing wron watch/clothes combinations.
That shit is super outdated. CEO's wear metal bracelets with suits all day if they want.

>>14113183

Thanks.

This >>14113198 looks like shit.

yah I'd wear that casually. it's not dressy dressy. black dial works a lot better for casual fits

>>14113248
That looks pretty nice. Love the cream dial, if it is cream and not just the light and my f.lux making it look like that.

>>14113256
Yea, it is a cream dial.

>>14113150
Garbage brand.

>>14113270
Quite revolting I must say

>>14113089
Lmao

>>14113270
They also have $90k tourbillons made by an independent watchmaker, so there's that.

>>14113280
Doesn’t matter when your line up is so shit. Basically a dressed up a cheap whore.

Anybody here own a Vostok? Are they good? Do you recommend them?

>>14113283
I would rather judge the merits of each individual watch than lump everything together like some simple minded oaf. Pretty much no brand has made only great pieces.

>>14113018
Does GS stand for Galvanised Steel?

>>14113215
It's the thinnest solar-powered watch in the world.

>>14113245
>>14113248
Impressive, very nice.

>>14113287
That’s not how reputation and value is built nor how brands are perceived. Imagine Lange selling 100$ shitters.

>>14113294
Seiko also makes $100 shitters. So what?

>>14113283
Seiko is the same shit, you know?

>>14113294
>caring about "brand perception"
I can make up my own mind about the merits of a watch, and don't need the consensus of plebs to do it. Giving a single fuck about "brand perception" is pathetic.

>>14113284
Yes, they're fun and cheap. Not noticeably accurate but not enough to be an issue.

>>14113298
That they're both crap

>>14113298
>Implying Seiko is on the level of Lange
A brand will always be judged by it’s cheapest offering.

>>14113301
Cool. Want an award for that buddy?

>>14113307
I'll just take "having idiots stop complaining about irrelevant shit", thanks.

>>14113306

>>14113312
Again, cheap whore in a nice dress. You can fuck her for 50$ or have her dress up nicely and fuck her for 10k, still the same whore though and through.

>>14113315

It’s an analogy frogposter.

>>14113315
You sound like someone blinded by marketing than someone with vision

>>14112971
what watch is that?

Apologies to those who've seen this kind of question before, but I'm still narrowing down my choices and I came across one in person in a shop and I'm curious.

For the past 6 months I've been thinking seriously about getting a pocket watch. Waltham and Elgin always come up, but I can't find much literature at all on what is worth going after. Recently, I came across a Waltham in a shop that I really liked, but I haven't had a chance to look at it close up, or to see the condition of the movement.

So, to the pocket-watch Anons who know:

Is there any reason to avoid vintage Waltham pocket watches (open face)? Are Elgin's really just a step up from them?

My plan is to only get 1 pocket watch, and I've been recommended the Railroad grade ones from Elgin. It all makes sense, and I can find them on Chrono24 no problem. Basically I'm just looking for any ideas you Anons might have.

Incidentally, I'm not opposed to getting an Omega pocket watch, or any other one. It's just that the Elgin ones seem to be from the period when people still used them for 'accurate' timekeeping. I know it probably won't be within COSC or anything like that....but I don't really want a pocket watch from the 1950's either...it seems wrong somehow.

Anyway, thanks in advance, and I look forward to your thoughts.

>>14113307
mogged badly

>>14113302
>>14113284
They're fun watches, very easy to customise. The accuracy does vary between individual units, mine is very accurate to the point where I don't re tune it for two weeks and it's still on time. Only downside is they're absolute scratch magnets, however they're soft enough you can buff the scratches out with swatch, or even toothpaste and a cloth.

>>14113306
Add Tissot/Toss-it too that list to with their garbage plastic parts.

>>14112971
It's a better size than the average watch today in my view. Wish there were more contemporary watches that size.

>>14113302
>>14113380
Which model should I get?

>>14113359
We don't actually discuss watches here. Only memes.

>>14113435
Yes you do. Sadly, it usually only happens when I'm drunk...

>>14113356
A-11 by Waltham, Bulova and algin.
While German b-uhrs are still being manufactured and sold today, their American counterpart is completely ignored so the only way to aquire it is getting a shit old one off ebay with a shit movement. Not sure why.

>>14113359
American watch movements of that time (the only time they were relevant) tend to be "simple". The only thing I know is that they were apparently good enough for the rails.

The info about it suggests they weren't too good, though.

Thanks Anon; I'll start reading immediately. It's been very difficult to track down any consensus or study about the varying quality levels that you see in turn of the century pocket watches...it seems like a crapshoot, and my concern is that I don't want to get something that has a good name or 'reputable' movement only to find that it's...well...shit. lol Thanks.

so sexy.....

What's the cheapest decent mechanical watch that has hand winding? (with or without automatic winding) And did I make a mistake ordering snk809? It doesn't hand wind.

>>14112977
>>14112984
Americans truly can't shut the fuck up about politics

>>14113724
Most current-generation Orients use a hacking, hand-winding movement, so I might start there. The original Rays and Bambinos and the like didn't, but Ray IIs and current-gen Bambinos and such do.

Cheap Seikos will also sometimes offer handwinding and hacking, but ones based off the 7S26 (like your Seiko 5, or the SKX, or others) do not.

>>14112962
Fuck I have 8 watches already and never wear all of them, but now I need this one...

>>14113724
If you like the look of the watch you can just upgrade the movement. A lot of skx owners have swapped out the 7s26 for a 6r15/nh15, and you will have your hacking/hand winding.

What are you wearing today?

What is the cheapest place to find an SKX007?
And does Seiko make any other divers similar in price and quality in the 40mm range?

What are the best looking or most unique cheap ass watches I can get on Amazon?

>>14113396
Get an Amphibian, does not matter which one, that's down to taste. They are automatic, made out of better quality materials and waterproof to below 200M.

>>14113359
Vacheron Constantin my brother.

>>14114014
prices on SKXes are pretty steady, you might be able to save twenty bucks here or there with some sale, but there's never going to be a huge blockbuster sale on them.

In terms of quality, the SKX pretty much offers toughness, with very little in terms of fit and finish (e.g. painted indices, instead of applied). Its movement, the 7S26, is seiko's cheapest automatic, and lacks the features and fineness of those of other manufacturers. Also, most 7S26s these days are made in malaysia, if you don't want to pay the premium for a japanese-made model. It does have a nice caseback, though.

Really, the SKX is the most tooly of dive watches at its price point, and you're not going to find anything else from Seiko that fits into its particular niche. Their other offerings are going to cost more, and tend to be nicer, better, more upmarket, and less tool-esque than the SKX.

>>14112971
what were the russians wearing because i reckon that'd be the way to go

>>14113280
so does seagull lmao

>>14114172
Either nothing (watches were very much a luxury item in 1940s USSR), or various timepieces looted from occupied territories.

>>14114014
The Citizen Promaster automatic looks better, hacks, hand winds, has applied indices, is 40mm, is thinner and looks more rugged.
It may be like $30 more but you’re getting a good deal.

>>14114289
Get the ecodrive instead. For a cheap diver it's better not having to deal with shit accuracy.

>>14114405
That doesn’t look as nice.
And it ticks.

>>14114421
If has nice blue lume, looks nicer imo. I disregard your opinion now though.

Newest acquisition fellas. Bretty good for the below 1000 quid mark. The bracelet in particular is lovely.

>>14114172
I believe they used K-43 Kirovskies, which had pocket watch movements.

SAAB made cars as well as fighter jets. Therefore I can judge their aircraft on the merits of their cars and assert they are "dressed up saloons"

You're a fucking retard

>>14114512
Not the same category, aircraft - vehicle vs watches - watches. You are the retard here.

>>14114541
To elaborate, a product must be judged on it's individual merits. "They make budget products so their high end entries are unlikely to be good" is a criticism you can level at the brand, but not the product. Claiming a credor is a dressed up $50 whore is just objectively false. My analogy stands

what do you lads store your watches in?
any recommendations for watch boxes?

All haute horlogerie brands would suffer if they start offering sub-500$ watches, heck, sub-5k even. There's a reason why Patek limits their steel production and why there's almost no steel Lange. This is about strengthening their brand as much as solidifying their lines. Imagine Patek introducing a 150$ watch, it would irrepairably damage their brand.

>>14114469
There's a lot to like about those Ball watches, but the case and bracelet finishing needs a lot of refinement.

>>14114561
Croc-grain calf but proper leather watch box

>>14114014
There was a quartz chronograph one in a Costco for about $200. But really, just get a citizen or an orient.

>>14114563
What about the fact that Lange, Vacheron, JLC are part of Richemont, which also owns the likes of Baume&Mercier and fucking Ralph Lauren watches?

>>14114563
Patek as a brand is inferior to the likes of Omega and Nomos

>>14114563

>>14114590
pateks marketing approach is a double edged sword apparently. Niggers are fucking crazy for them

>>14114586
And LVMH owns Céline, Dior, Givenchy, LV, Moynat. Do you think they make the same things? Richemont doesn't make a 100$ Richemont-branded watch while also selling 10k+ Richemont-branded watches, you dingus.

Omega do quartz shit and a lot of it is available under 500. Omega is doing fine. Same with Tissot and Invicta.

Don't you have the impression, after all these countless watches threads, that the whole think about wristwatches is an endless cringe cesspool?
Even the +10k Rolex wrist pics are cringe as shit.
Yeah those watches looked good on Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Sean Connery etc. but they were handsome men.
If you don't look good evening you'll put on your wrist will be cringe, if you look good you can slam an f91w on and you will look ace.

You hit the nail on the head anon, this is just an autistic compensation hobby. So what? It's enjoyable.

>>14114758
>It's enjoyable.
I would argue with that. I've been got hooked for a while on watches too, but after a while I realized it's a pretty toxic ego boost placebo: frustration, buying remorse and the lack of any feel of satisfaction are the most common emotions people get out from this shit. Just look how is out just to shit on somebody else, that's a typical behaviour of a frustrated individual.
Also, buying shit is not a hobby.

>>14114805
Originally, only 1000 pieces of 5402 Royal Oaks were made. More were made due to high-demand, there’s four series, A, B, C, D. The A-series is believed to be 2000 pieces. Each series have minute differences with them from the number of tapisserie squares to the position of the AP logo with the AP @ 6 being more valuable. Another way to differentiate series is by the prefix of the serial number engraved on the back of the case.

Do the screws actually screw into the back of the hex screws around the bezel? I always assumed they were more decorative.

>>14114825
it has connections to the car industry and the 80's in general that I appreciate plus it's got this crazy speedmaster branding what the fuck were seiko thinking? Right now it's completely immaculate, Like new. It has gone over 30 years without getting marked or scratched do I really want to be the one to ruin that?

>>14114834
The Royal Oak case is “monocoque”. The case back isn’t a separate piece but instead it’s part of the case, unified. It’s a front-loader, meaning the movement is cased from the face of the watch with the bezel and crystal sealing the movement.

>>14114847
Adding to this >>14114852, the screws do pass through the case and are not just there for decoration. They’re basically hex nuts with the screw part on the back as seen here >>14114834

>>14114797
What's with all the corrosion on the dial? The rest of the watch looks in very good condition for its age but either the manufacturing process for the dial wasn't ideal or something funky has happened to the watch.

>>14115014
Not really corrosion but the base of the dial showing through. It’s brass with white gold indices. Here’s a 14790, 36mm with a seconds hand. It’s some sort of chemical reaction fuckery with moisture, brass, and paint.

>>14115028
And UV exposure too.

>>14115033
This one’s a bit more drastic and I actually like it.

>>14115104
Moisture and uv exposure and chemical reaction yes. Keep in mind not every Royal Oak out there looks like this, it’s just an extremely small sample of watches that has dials like this. Most of the vintage Royal Oaks out there remain pristine, which can be seen by looking at auction catalogues and second-hand listing sites like chrono24. It’s actually much more difficult to find a Royal Oak with a dial like these than a pristine almost-NOS Royal Oak.

>>14115332
No, the dial text alone gives it away. Are you thinking of the 15202 release from this year’s SIHH? I dislike the 15202, due to the enlarged hands and indices, and they made it slightly thicker with the display case back.

>>14115339

Literally received mine today.

Basically what everyone says: crappy bracelet and the bezel is useless.
I bought the matching blue bezel and don't recommend buying the one from the meranom website, that bezel is super crappy and they ask 20 bucks for it.
But for a watch well under 100 bucks you can't complain, they look really good and they are super tough. I love the blue/teal dial, looks really good in real life, that's the reason why I bought it.

>>14115432
>the bezel is useless
Why?

>>14115452
It's bi-directional (not something you want on a diver) and really fucking hard to turn.

>>14115397
It's definitely a looker but it didn't excite me too much as they've already done it in the past, with the Jubilee Royal Oak (ref. 14802).

>>14115452
>>14115471
Exactly what he said. The bezel is just controlled by a wire inside. So is bi directional and simply by shaking your arm the bezel can move.
just assume that the bezel is just for looks, in the same way that fashion watches have chronometers sub dials without having pushers.

>>14115339
Nice watches with cool dials. The only con I can see is the dials aren’t for everyone. See a lot of people that like the cocktail disks and a lot of people that hate them. The starlight disks are really nice.

I recently bought a Speedmaster, I was hesitant to pull the trigger since the specs aren't that impressive and it's a bit of a meme but now I'm very happy with it

just go with your heart, whatever watch makes you feel the best when you put it on, that's all there really is to it

>>14115564
Wear it in good health, my friend.

Delusional Seiko weebs think a meteorite dial looks more like galvanised steel when it's quite literally the opposite.

>>14115579
Tbh that looks more like some canvas which was painted that way more than galvanized steel.

>>14113284
Of course
They are cheap, resistant and look nice

>>14115579
That Rolex' dial looks exactly like galvanized steel, while the blue looks more like a fabric.

>>14115579
That's not a particularly good Rolex dial and that GS looks nothing like that in natural light.

>>14114657
There is something zen-like about the f91-w that can't stop amazing me.
You pay $10 and you really get the best you can have for the price. It's precise, reliable, iconic and it's packed with quite an impressive set of features. Despite being a cheap electronic item, it never went out of production since 1991, and nothing has been changed on it.
It's a delightful little fucker.

>>14115579
None of them look like galvanized steel, you fucking retard kill yourself already.

>>14115241
Go for the Speedmaster, it’s more different than your Tudor.

Not exactly related to /wt/ but why are the people in /g/ so snobby? They’re like the most uppity group of nerds I’ve ever encountered online. Is it just because it’s neckbeard central over there?

>>14116146
It’s hard to turn when you need it to but it’s loose when you don’t want it to, it’s the Ivan way.

What is your endgame watch, /wt/?

>>14116146
The original bezel was pretty loose on mine but the meranom one is very tight, I had to use a crystal press to get it on and I don't use it as it's very stiff to turn.

>>14116149
Yeah, it's neat. Sadly it's been discontinued though and the price for used ones is a bit stupid.

>>14114092
They're nice, but I hadn't thought about spending that kind of money honestly. I just wanted a mechanical pocket watch, and the railroad watches seem to really hit what I'm looking for and the price range. Now I just have to decide if I want a power reserve on it or not....it would be handy, but then again, I like the dials uncluttered at the top as well.

Don't forget to post it on r/watches on Speedy Tuesday along with every other person who wears the exact same watch as you!

Nigga whatever that chink/jap bullshit is, why the fuck would you want that on your watch?

>>14116710
$600

>>14116735
Forgot to ask, what kind of watches do you already have?

>>14116741
The two I wear most are an Oris Big Crown Pointer Date and a Casio Royale.

>>14116230
I feel like this is the only time I can say "get a real chink watch"

Speaking of which,
>>14116212
The movement in this thing is apparently a chink copy of the Venus 175, do people like it because it's obscure, or does it have merit over the usual 7750?

>>14116744
Well since you not have one, if you were looking for a diver:
I would either go with the Seiko Prospex SRP777 turtle, or the sne497 jdm solar tuna.
Or for something dressier maybe a sarb033 or if your a fan of the cocktail dials the SRPB41.
All of those new are under 600.

>>14116744
If you do some digging you might find one of the starlights for under 600 as well srpc01. Those are nice dials.
Pic of the Oris? That’s a nice watch.

>>14116744
Forgot to add if you want another digital, the Seiko wired solidity AGAM401 is a dope watch, especially if your a metal gear fan.

>>14116753
The tooling for the Venus 175 was sold directly to the Chinese Govt in the 1960's due to their intent on creating a pilot's chronograph. They simply set up shop with the same equipment used to create the original Venus 175, and started producing watches with their own branding and so forth. The modern Seagull iteration of the Venus 175 is essentially identical, though it'll have some typical Chinese modifications, the purpose of which is to reduce costs in production.

It's not a chink copy in the way that we think of chink copies (IPhone vs. Chinaphone); they didn't reverse engineer anything. As I have said in the past, if the movement is well oiled and regulated, it should perform as any other Venus 175 does.

In terms of merit over the usual 7750...those are two radically different movements. In general, the Venus 175 is column wheel, manual wind. The 7750 is a cam operated, automatic wind chronograph that can be manufactured to COSC tolerances in terms of performance. Also, it can handle a day/date complication, which as far as I'm aware, the Venus 175 couldn't (though I think it could be modified to have a 3 register instead of the normal 2).

The two are entirely different beasts, but the 7750 is obviously better technologically.

>That being said, my Seagull is still running 0.5+/day since I got it last year, so you won't hear me complaining.

>>14116753
The movement in the omega "moonwatch" is based on a variant of the 175, that should tell you something. Too bad it's still made with that classic Chinese QC.

>>14116768
>>14116768
>>14116760
I'm actually feeling pretty drawn to the sarb035 just so I have something a little lighter to wear. Thanks for the recs!

>>14116768
Here's a pic I took shortly after I got it

>>14115036

Das it mane. That thing makes me cum every time I see a picture of it.

>>14116422
have you even read my post or did you just see the pic and spaz out?

>>14115115
It's all overinflated marketing kikery.
The rich folks just play this game for some sort of tax evasion via luxury goods or some shit. It's all a scheme.

>>14115134
>Vintage luxury watch trading is like cs go skin trading but with more faggotry

Change my mind. Btw, check out that gold stunner on one of the player modesl.

Thoughts on this? I’m on the lookout for an 80d diver and this fits the I’ll quite nicely.
How are the movements in these?

>>14117178
don't get this. looks like something a 60 year old boomer wears on a golf course.

I don't like this one because it's a more basic and boring looking Submariner, if I went for a Tag I'd get an Aquaracer

Get a monaco or reissue carerra then.

>>14117178
It should be okay, the 80s ETA quartz movements were pretty robust. Plus Bond wore a version of this watch, if that's your thing.

>>14116172

>>14117368
Fully, truly hand-finished movement by an artisan studio that only puts out 30 watches per year.

>>14117373
> 30 watches a year
That's because no one wants them.

>>14117383
I just publicly stated that I want them.

>>14116805
Oris make such nice watches but i feel like they ruin them with that shitty logo

>>14117419
It's fairly innocuous, it's hardly Christopher Ward.

>>14115493
Bend the wire more and add floss underneath if your bezel is too loose. It's very much usable if adjusted properly.

>>14116408
You're gonna get bored of an "unclattered" dial pretty quick in my opinion. Go for the power reserve.

Just got these two. What else too get? Also can I savely swim with the black one in a pool and salt water?

>>14117499
Those are not suitable for swimming.
Get an aq230 for that ana-digi goodness.

Anyone know what model Orient this is?

A Grand Seiko naturally.

If it had a clean face, id look at it. I hate the dumb text on casio watches.

Not many digital watches without their dumb functions plastered all over it. Let alone steel ones.

>>14117954
Ventura looks okay but their models are all ~$1,000

>want to buy a Solar Tuna because I like the aesthetic and no nonsense functionality

Am I wrong?

You like wearing a beyblade on your wrist?

>>14117998
This is for this >>14117990

>>14117990

Interesting how Söyko weebs call the Rolex 116610 maxi-pad when they’re literally strapping a Beyblade on their wrists

I’m about to buy this as an everyday shitter I can abuse.
Shame about the lack of sapphire though. Really affects the longevity.

Mate you're buying a 350$ seiko quartz.

Look at the prices of Quartz tunas/gs’s/7548’s/jdm 6548’s/7n43 divers/etc, they are all sought after and sell for a lot of money.
The Solar tuna is a great watch, and you can find them brand new for <300$.
As with every other tuna, their resale value will go up once they are discontinued.

help..It looks like a Russian watch.

Where can I buy it?

>>14118297
The watch is a vostok. I know that case shape is 110 and the face is the date version of the 647 face (I don't know that number). A vostok 110647 with an aftermarket olive-colored bezel would be close.

>>14118347
You can get date versions of the 647 face from favninov on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/calendar-3-oclock-647-BLACK-DIAL-HAND-PAINTED-3-KINDS-SUPERLUMIA-VOSTOK-AMPHIBIA/223370861040?hash=item3401f0d9f0:m:mRBe1sjA8402J3u6UAwtzlg&var=522153016811
