Bear in mind that the original Flieger was a 55mm case diameter, it was designed to be worn over the cuff of a leather jacket and for maximum legibility. Personally I think a slightly too large watch size is desirable here as it's just how Flieger's are supposed to look.

"I was wearing my Stowa Flieger and it caught my co-workers eye during lunch and she asked about it. I told her that it was a german watch, normally larger than this so that the pilots could see it properly while navigating and was used in the second world war.

"so is it like ... a Nazi watch?" At this point I was flabbergasted and I could only answer "well, it's not a true Nazi watch, just a modern homage" also I never considered it a Nazi watch, just a cool WW2 homage. Maybe if I were wearing a vintage WW2 Flieger it would probably be considered a Nazi watch, but this is removed enough just like Hugo Boss or BMW is that I feel fine about it. I'll probably stop wearing it to the office though"

Finished up this Cosmotron yesterday, now I'm wearing it as a test run. Interesting case shape.

>>14148360
Watch repairer here, I'll try to answer all of these.
>trying to demagnetize your watch will fuck it up
Horseshit, I think it was TGV's fat fuck buddy who made this claim. Who is of course a completely unqualified fat fuck.
>never put a mechanical watch on the same table as a mobile phone - the vibrations from phone alerts will ruin your watch
Reminder that they fought the entire WW2 with watches mostly without shock protection. Including in piston-engine fighter planes. Also astronauts/cosmonauts exclusively wore mechanical watches for the first half of the history of space exploration. Including launch and reentry.
>even the toughest dive watch can't survive warm and/or soapy water
Soap and solvents will dissolve the silicone grease and degrade rubber gaskets. I don't think heat is healthy either. Opinions differ, but personally I wouldn't risk it, and recommend against it.
>all quartz watches are destined to fail because moisture from your skin will eventually get inside the case and mess up the circuitry
A lot of the very first quartz watches from nearly half a century ago are still working perfectly.
>the only difference between an authentic [insert high-end watch brand] and a knockoff or homage is the price
This is what poorfags and chink-enablers believe.
>opening up the case back on a dive watch means the water resistance is gone forever
Horseshit stemming from laymen owners misinterpreting the servicer's WR policy. It needs to be WR tested after opening and closing for the repairer to guarantee continued water resistance.

Let's take for example an old 100m WR watch. The gaskets have degraded years ago, not just the caseback gasket but the crown/buttons and the plastic crystal gasket as well. If I change a battery in it, don't test it, and it gets flooded the owner will blame me, because "it was fine for ten years before you touched it".

I serviced mine, and could remove the movement. After you've separated the case halves you need to stick a tweezer between the dial and case to press the part of the setting lever that's poking out the side to pull out the stem.

It's the rusted part in the pic (pre-service photo, I cleaned it up later).

If anything you should rail against bad marketing because it makes Seiko look bad.

The reason to like Seiko is because of the value it represents because they don't have the marketing budget of the Swiss, but you ought to be ashamed of yourself for defending this.

It was targeted ads on Insta that made companies like MVMT, Filipo Loretti etc so popular amongst normies. Decent marketing on social media can have a huge impact.

My dad gave me his watch recently because he doesn't wear it much any more. It was made in the year 2000 so its not that old really but i still really like it as a sort of shitty heirloom that will be useless one day.

That's the kind of marketing that "works" for cheaper watches. And that monstrosity literally is a cheap watch.

Personally I shit on the entire prospex line now simply because they're putting that x-factor X on all the dials now.
Now THAT's some good Seiko hate fuel.

It's quite literally why DW is million-dollar company. They lived off of instagram posts. Not paying any effort to your adverts will kill your brand, specially when you're already struggling with trying to shake off the cheap-shitter brand image.

I'm gonna use this every time someone cries about the "macro autist" again.

These are luxury watches we're talking about, macros are how we separate the shitters with the stamping marks all over the hands from the actual good shit.

There's nothing particularly heinous about that pic. It's some dude with a smaller girly wrist who snapped a nice waterfront shot, in line with the pretty nice general mood of the prospex page.
If you actually look at the entire pic you see the watch is just tilted and the broken wrist effect disappears.

It's one ugly fucking watch though.

And Seiko doesn’t stamp out their hands? Everyone does. All they do is give the edges of it a polish. But that doesn’t make their boring designs any better.
