Great thread.

>>14165316
Thanks.

Bought this beauty yesterday

>>14165318
Been eyeing them for a year or two. How much ?

>>14165321
Went to Schramberg, just a .5 hour drive from where I live. It was on display for retail (497 €) but the lady granted a 20% discount so I totalled at just below 400 €. That's cheaper than anywhere on Google shopping so it's fine.

(I was two months late to cop the Meister Telemeter for <1k. They sold it below 1k during Christmas time)

16600 finally came back from service.

Kill yourself

>>14165338
Nice. Wish I could spare that money now. I need to save up for other shit, sadly.

Thoughts?

>>14165318
Wear it in good health.

New thread so I'm asking again.

Getting my first watch.
Thinking about getting a Stowa marine. I am new to this shit. Am I falling for a meme?

>>14165388
It's a nice looking watch, I like those blued hands. Though it's a dress watch, I'd want a sportier, more rugged watch as my daily wear, only watch, but that's me. Also it's a bit pricy, in my opinion.

>>14165388
Stowa makes quality stuff I think. From what I know, the finish on their movement is good so don't cheap out on the movement finish. They also heat treat their blued screws and hands as opposed to just painting them like other brands at that price point.
Although a few anons on /wt/ have been spamming lately that their cases were made in china and finished in germany. If you care about that stuff, you might want to rethink. But to be fair, it's very difficult to find watch companies that don't import from china at that price point.
I would also recommend checking out sinn and damasko, but I don't think they make marine style watches.
Personally I never owned a stowa, but I used to own a steinhart flieger. While the construction is solid, the gold colour coating that they use for the movement fades after two years. But stowa is way better than steinhart so there shouldnt be a problem.

So I have this watch that I like but i hate the strap, it gets way too big with those little guards, any options for changing it?

My fave weekend watch

>>1416545
nato or unironically brown wild leather

>>14165388
I don’t get why people recommend stuff like stowa. It’s like over 1 grand for an ETA movement right? No complications, and shitty water resistance that won’t withstand anything other than light rain for muh heritage.

If you’re thinking about spending that much why not just save up for a used or new Rolex/omega/GS and get something cheaper to hold you over until then?

And also wtf does finishing the movement mean? Like can any of you explain what goes into that process?

Honestly watches as a hobby is pretty shit now that I think about it. Like if you browse the front page of reddit right now you see some fag who owns some shitty seiko (no hate on seiko) and a 2001 POS jaguar because you KNOW he’s a consumerist whore who wants to look cool but doesn’t make more that like $45k a year. Good luck fucking dumb fat chicks for the rest of your life.

Also there was some kid who spent $30k on a patek and if you look into it he’s 22 and makes like $100k MAX. Like yeah I could blow off saving for retirement or a house too and buy one of those after a year but Jesus that would be a dumbass move.

>>14165465
>>14165452

>>14165310
I use a $100 casio watch I bought 7 years ago that has a deep scratch on the crystal, and I actually have little to no interest in watches but I just wanted to come in and tell the "luxury swiss watch" spammer to fuck off. I saw the GS OP image and I instantly knew he was sperging out in this thread. I'm not even going to scroll down, I KNOW he's seething.

>>14165452
>>14165465
As seen on this fellas wrist

Lumeshot?

>>14165318

Meister Chronoscope or Max Bill Chronoscope? I'm a bit torn. Maybe I should just keep saving for a non-ETA7750 piece?

I'm pretty sure that this is the watch on the market today that I want the most, the only problem I might or might not have with it, is that along the way it might become "outdated" or "out of fashion" somehow, because of some newer design on that dial. On the other side, Patek's Nautilus has those horizontal patterns too, and that one is never "out of fashion". What do you think? Can you wear an AT with this design for many decades to come?

>>14165496

While I like the design, I do feel like it will look quite outdated in a decade or so. This is one of the core problems of Omega : they don't have any good designs in their repertoire besides the Speedmaster.

The Nautilus is exempt from being outdated because it's a one of a kind piece.

>>14165452
What the fuck even is that strap, how did it get on there? Is this an ebay buy? What did u pay?

>>14165502
>it's a one of a kind piece.
Not sure what you mean by that, you can say that about AT too. I guess if Omega stuck with that very same design then it would become more timeless eventually. Maybe it's in our heads, we see updates to a design or entire changes to a design, and then in our heads the last one is "outdated". If they do not change it, then it will not seem outdated but rather timeless? Maybe I'm onto something? What do you think?

>>14165310

Watch collecting is a wagecuck hobby.

>>14165513
Why's that?

maybe I'll buy this one for the GFs birthday. thoughts?

>>14165467
the trick to watches (and a lot of other things) is to not care what other people on the internet think

the only thing that matters is how much you like a watch when you put it on your wrist

>>14165467
>tells people to buy more expensive watches then bitches about people who buy more expensive watches

>>14165496
youll be fine. i doubt this will become outdated. itll always look good as a sporty everyday watch

>>14165388
Get the handwind or the "auto top"

>>14165388
There are brands which are strictly speaking better value, e.g. Hamilton, Victorinox, Longines. Look at Laco or Damasko for German.

If you still like the Stowa more, get it, it's a good watch.

>>14165580
you want to buy it for yourself or your gf?

>>14165596
How the hell is a < $1k Hamilton or Victorinox better than a Stowa?

>>14165496
Fwiw I really wanted this watch and then I saw it in person and was pretty disappointed. Bought a Speedmaster instead.

>>14165602
the movement is the same and costs half

>>14165588
Investing ~$5k on a watch is way more reasonable than investing ~$30k if you make somewhere in the range of $100k a year you dumb faggot.

>>14165606
the movement is only half the watch

>>14165583
Yeah ultimately if you just like how it looks a lot and you can afford it go for it. Just don’t understand why people recommend brands like that so much in general.

>>14165467
>Also there was some kid who spent $30k on a patek and if you look into it he’s 22 and makes like $100k MAX. Like yeah I could blow off saving for retirement or a house too and buy one of those after a year but Jesus that would be a dumbass move.

The amount of ppl doing stuff like this is nuts. Crazy how little ppl plan for their financial future. I waited till i had a sizeable net worth before I even started thinking about luxury watches.

There was someone here trolling about borrowing money to buy a daytona.

>>14165603
I've seen it in person plenty of times, and I like it quite a bit. Not sure what you reacted to? I'd be happy to get your imput. Also it's better finished than a rolex OP/DJ/Sub when you look at it through a loupe, which I guess will give you a little bit of a confident boost knowing that fact.

>>14165591
I hope that too. I guess when I get over that tiny doubt then I will make my purchase.

>>14165496
I prefer the old design with vertical planks and the date on the right, but I like the coax escapement in the new ones.

>>14165580
Buy it if she's into watches. Otherwise give something else or something like a cartier or a vintage lady rolex with that money.

>>14165622
in that case, go for it

>>14165599
for my gf because I like it

>>14165467
I mostly agree with you on this, that people who overspend on watches compared to their own net worth looks pretty dumb. I'm kinda confused on some of your points tho:

>you see some fag who owns some shitty seiko (no hate on seiko) and a 2001 POS jaguar because you KNOW he’s a consumerist whore
Do you mean Seiko is too expensive for that guy earning $45k? I think most seiko watches are pretty affordable unless you buy GS?

>I don’t get why people recommend stuff like stowa. It’s like over 1 grand for an ETA movement right? No complications, and shitty water resistance that won’t withstand anything other than light rain for muh heritage.
First of, ETA is great btw, and the realibility is worth the money for sure. I think you are dead wrong/ignorant in calling ETA out as a negative thing to put inside a watch.
Water resistance on those are just the same as other watches are they not? If I'm wrong about that then I guess I will agree, a watch should at least have 30m resistance imo, preferably 50m or more.
>And also wtf does finishing the movement mean? Like can any of you explain what goes into that process?
Was this a rhetorical question or do you really not know what is meant by this?

>>14165593
Why?

>>14165666
I don’t think seiko is too expensive, it was a jag branded seiko and the jag he owned was the equivalent of an average dude buying a used Porsche boxter or leasing a cheaper Maserati to look cool. Just hating on that guy and guys like that who tend to be into luxury watches.

Nothing wrong with ETA, just that there seem to be better values with the same movement like another poster mentioned above. I think the marine series OP posted has intentionally bad water resistance to be period accurate.

I legitimately don’t know what finishing an outsourced movement means. I just started learning about mech watches because my dad gifted me one recently. Wasn’t sure if anyone really knew what it meant or if it was some sort of marketing hoo-ha

>tfw wristlet who's into watches
is there a worse feel bros?

>>14165696
>being into watches
yeah that sounds worse than being a wristlet

>>14165696
bulk up

>>14165474
Thanks friendo

>>14165689
>I legitimately don’t know what finishing an outsourced movement means.
Movement finishing means how it's crafted to look good. Some movements are barely finished at all, and they will look like a very basic movement with nothing much to look at but the basic engineering of it, made in a facory with little to none handcrafting. Then there are movements that are finished more nicely, still done mostly by machines and without much handcrafting if any. These sort of finishes can be somewhat nice, or even pretty damn great (after all machines are able to finish a movement quite well if the producers want them to). Then there are movements that are finished by both machines and hand, they tend to look even better because the human element is in the details of that finish. And then there are movemnts on the extreme end that are pretty much 100% handfinished. They tend to look the best. The better finished a movement is, the nicer it is and also the more worth it is to the consumer. It is also obviously more expensive to produce due to all the manhours spent on producing it.

Here is a video that kinda touch upon this subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK0v7Zm5uaY

>>14165504
Idk what I was on, just walked into a watch store and asked to have a different strap and picked that one. It was $50 :'(

What type of watches work best with very casual clothes (skinny jeans, cotton shorts and jorts, tees or hoodies).
I was thinkining all black steel watches or steel watches with natos or textile straps.
Examples or ideas? Thanks anons

>>14165716
Alright so it’s actually a pretty simple concept to grasp, appreciate you going through it for me.

Redpill me on slide rules. Are there any differences more than having different unit markings?

>>14165717
Well, if you can, return it and order an erika's original or a nick mankey hook strap, those are two fabric straps I really dig

>>14165696
>>14165728
You know the answer.

>>14165735
navitimers are incredible instruments. sadly 99% of their owners have no idea how to use them. I am no exception tbqh

Thoughts on the rado captain cook 37? And rado as a brand in general?
Been looking for a midsized diver for a while.

>>14165732
Yeah it's a very simple concept to grasp, and that's what people talk about when they larp about how well finished a movement is, but also very simplified in my explaination. On the topic of handfinished movemens though, honestly I have thought about this and I don't know if I think an enitely handfinished movement is worth 30 or 50k usd. Sure the hours spent on it make it a more pricy object to produce, but its actual worth as a completed product is what you are willing to pay for it. I mean, the difference between that and a partly handfinished movement costing 6 or 10k, is not that big to your eye, maybe you won't be able to see it at all. You can look at it through a loupe and start to notice of course, and use an even bigger loupe if you want to really look at the finer details in the 100% handfinished movement. But... is that worth as much to you as the cost of producing it was? Not really (to me). How about just getting a really damn great finished movement to your naked eye and pay 1/4 of the price instead? I think I will opt for the latter, unless I become super rich and don't give a shit about cost anymore. But that's just me, personally.

>>14165689
This is my tarted up eta 2892. This is the kind of finishing you expect for around $1500

Which one and why?

>>14165767
I think it looks cool, very retro looking but in a modern quality. I don't like the leather strap on it. Rado in general is a well established producer that can afford producing nice watches, but I think the brand itself is quite anonymous or dull. Under the radar brands are cool and all, but this is a little bit too under the radar for me.

>>14165818
Left because I'm right handed and I want to be able to set my watch while I'm wearing it. Also I hate the bezel edge on the citizen.

>>14165838
>>14165818
Or just the standard one?

>>14165580
I'd buy one of these instead

>>14165858
>>14165858
nah

>>14165857
The plain one is boring imo. Just another diver.

>>14165767
>>14165826
Fucking shitter. No screw down crown, terrible water resistance, generic workhorse eta movement. There is no reason why this should cost as much as it does.

>>14165872
How much does it cost? I thought it had screw down crown honestly.

>>14165862
Why tho?
Justify the 10x price difference between these two

>>14165857
Just buy a modern Tag Heuer. They are great watches.

>>14165882
About £1.5k retail.

>>14165696
I’m a wristlet and there are plenty of watches that work for me. Just pay attention to thickness and don’t go above 38mm. Also try it on before you decide to buy.

I want a reasonably cheap, durable, radio/GPS controlled watch, with either a very long (> 5 years) battery life or solar power. It should either be digital or analog with 24h dial. It should have a slide rule.
What are my options? Do digital watches with slide rules even exist?

I think I might just sell all my watches, buy an SKX, install a sapphire crystal and quit this pining over watches shit.
Anyone else had this thought?

>>14165905
Nice idea. I'd probably go with a solar casio protrek or gshock as my single utilitarian watch tho. More precise and functional than an skx

Purchased this other other day.
Will be putting a caramel colored ostrich band on it.

>>14165938
Been looking at picking up a protrek. You have any model preference?

>>14165919
Yeah I'm doing this as well, with some other mods like lume ceramic

>>14165956
>>14165919
How much better does the watch look with a sapphire vs the hardlex? Seen a lot of people online talk about doing the same mod but never seen it done in person

>>14165966
Here's a pic with side view. Don't have a pic from above but from what i've seen it looks really good.

>>14165977
>>14165966

>>14165954
I did hear that the prg 600 has or used to have a an lcd failure issue though it and the other analog digital models do look slightly cooler to me, but the purely digital ones are fine too. I'm the anon who posted >>14165459
I picked the prg-300 because it was slightly smaller and cheaper than the other models. I've had it for a year with no issues.
I also really like the classic square g shock models. I imagine rocking one or the other as my only single watch.

>>14165966
It’s just the scratch resistance for me. I wouldn’t get domed sapphire and no AR coating.

Is 38mm too small for a diver in 2019?

>>14165998
No.

>>14165891
The Heuer 02 is one of the best chronograph movements out there. 75h power reserve, fully in house automatic movement.

Having said that I had a non chronograph Carrera and I fucking hated it.

>>14165993
Why wouldn't you get AR coating?

>>14165905
the problem is that you look stupid with any sort of slightly chunkier watch, which rules out a lot of options like all divers

also, wearing a watch just pulls more attention to your feminine wrists ;_;

>>14165919
I did this with a turtle and it really sucks, dropped 50 bucks on a crystaltimes one, it was HIGHLY reflective almost to a mirrorlike quality. swapped back to hardlex within a week and never looked back.

>>14166014
Because it gets scratched.

>>14166021
Hmm. I guess a replacement Hardlex is cheap as fuck?

Should I?? The pre-Tag Heuers are more in demand right?

>>14166039
All the new ones with AR are only coated at the bottom

>>14166051
good choice

>>14166051
>misaligned bezel and seconds hand

Well?

>>14166080
I can't change your mind because you're right.

>>14166080
All watches are a waste of money. You don't really need a watch.

>>14166080
You're right.

>>14166318
I did consider it at the time, just wanted something a little less delicate. I'd like to get the seagull still though, the St19 is nice eye candy. The DH was a touch cheaper too.

I see these threads haven't improved in the slightest in my absence.

>>14166444
Threads (plural) being the operative word. What the fuck is going on.

>>14166232
There's been a shift, previously watchmakers strived to make watches lighter and thinner, because it showed off their mastery of the craft. Then the quartz revolution came and made all that irrelavent. Mechanical watches survived by being rebranded as a premium item. Some people associate more heft with a more quality product. Also what this anon said
>>14166144
Personally I prefer smaller and thinner watches they're more comfortable to wear and also I'm a wristlet

>>14166444

Does that tell you something about yourself?

>>14166444
Looks good, what bracelet is that? How do u like the solar tuna on the bracelet vs the stock rubber?

>>14166460
I'd been looking for a replacement tough analogue quartz tool watch ever since I gave away the Citizen BN0151 I had, but until recently I never found anything that didn't trigger my 'tism in multiple ways.

This solar tuna ticked all the boxes I was looking for in an analogue quartz watch I could wear in a workshop environment and not worry about banging around. This will be doubly so when I upgrade the shroud to stainless steel.

>>14166467
It's the stock bracelet and clasp. I'd been planning on replacing them since I have a straight end strapcode 22mm oyster kicking around and good milled clasps, but the stock bracelet fits me so perfectly that I'm just going to leave it and only upgrade the shroud to brushed stainless.

>>14166457
Yeah, having to move to /fa/ killed these threads, a lot of posters didn't bother sticking around, myself included until I missed shitposting, not now it's just exclusively tedious arguments between autists. Blacked Bay has got a lot to answer for.

>>14166478
It wasn't the move to /fa/ that killed these threads. The avalanche of shitposting started several months before the spam flooding that got these threads moved to /fa/, and these threads still have a constant stream of baitposting by dedicated trolls day after day after day.

After a while, the question becomes why even bother to try and engage anyone in these threads in any sort of serious or technical discussion when there's a better than 50% chance you're replying to bait?

>>14166444
I see your weight hasn't improved in the slightest either.

Yeah, haven't worn it in a while though. Been spending too much time doing manual work lately for anything but g-shocks and this solar tuna to be wearable.

I love me my Hammy, it’s a strap monster etc, but it’s so shit that they don’t provide any sort AR on it.

Swatch Corp is shit tier when it comes to that stuff.

>>14167050
That 38mm watch looks huge on you. Why did they make the lugs so long?

>>14167064
Yes, the lugs don't really sit too well on me (lol wristlet), but it's thin and it wears comfortably so I don't mind it too much (unless I look at it from dead on and see those WIDE gaps)

I usually NATO/nylon it up for daily wear and that sort of hides the FUCKLONG lugs, but for a Sunday lunch I thought I'd dress it up a bit.

Looks really fake. You wont trick someone by saying that's really. You're better off just saying that someone gave you a fake.

>>14167159
You probably spend around 500 bucks on that collection. You would be better off having a 500 bucks collection than buying a bunch of cheap ones.

>>14167437
The one with better resell. I never searched the used market on those, but I believe that a used skx holds up better. Since vostok are so cheap, you probably need to sell it for 50+% off.

>>14167476
thanks it's a chink fake

I don't come here very often and am not much of a watch enthusiast, why is it so bad iyo?

>>14167555
It's not bad per se, other than the kind of bland design. It's more that it's way too expensive for what it is.

>>14167558
>It's more that it's way too expensive for what it is.
yeah it's not cheap alright

>>14167555
It's the worst Rolex for features, design, prestige/history, popularity and resale value.

Basically if you get it, you're going to be at a loss to sell it, and it's just a dull/boring watch that relies on its name.

If you get a Rolex, just get the usual suspects. There's a reason why they're the preferred ones (and consequently always sold out/hard to find)

>>14167555
Obama has one. Do you want to have the same taste as him?

>>14167558
>>14167585
>>14167593
sounds reasonable. gonna rethink

>>14167607
For roughly the same price you could get something that's actually interesting like an Urban Jürgensen Big 8. With the UJ you are getting nearly 350 years of watchmaking history and all of the cool handmade processes that go in to each watch.

how many watches do you wear?

>>14167624
the most I've worn was two at a time on the same wrist

>>14167607
fuck these dudes
i've been wearing the same watch for around 7 years now and i still enjoy it
make sure you really like the watch before purchasing it though, and PLEASE try it on before buying it

>>14167555
Just get the JLC MuT, cheaper and better

>>14167515
yeah thats probably what I am gonna go for since the vostok keeps time much better than the seiko anyway. the special edition amphibias hold their value somewhat though, looking on wus I could get almost what I paid for it.

>>14167627
Different strokes for different folks, but just purely without any emotional attachment to the Cellini it's a bad purchase that relies on being a Rolex in that style.

Like >>14167621 mentioned, there are better options out there with more pros.

>>14167470
A few years in the future probably. Their sales is tanking.

>>14167637
Seconding this. Rolex’s forte is luxury sports watches.

>>14167656
based

>>14167645
yes but these "value propositions" dont exactly replicate what the cellini looks like either
so if the posters tries it on in real life and prefers itto the alternatives, there should be nothing stopping him from getting it

>>14167748
That's a 48mm watch and it looks almost smol on that wrist.

>>14167541
I see many of the larpers tried to tell you what not to buy. Surely they do not lie when they say that the usual suspects of Rolex are those most people prefer, surely JLC is better than Cellini, but that does not mean you need to prefer them. You buy the watch YOU think is best, and buying cellini is not a bad choice at all. Quite expensive, but if you got the money and you think this watch is the one for you, then go for it! Anyway, you may want to try on some watches first. If you only saw this watch in pictures then I think there is still a way for you to go along the road of choosing which watch to own.

Excellent functional designs. The solar is also very wearable at 46.5mm in diameter and 12mm thick. To my mind, it's the best tough quartz analogue tool watch under $500.

>>14167747
Of course a 1000m dive watch designed for use in pro saturation diving is thick. It's a profession tool, it was not designed to be everyday wearable.

>I believe it's a feature not a fault and here's why. I have two Grand Seiko bracelet watches and both have some wiggle room on the end link fit. I believe that this is a practical choice as much as an aesthetic one, as it facilitates easy fitting of the bracelet. Other people have commented upon Grand Seiko bracelet end links not fully filling the lug space and my belief is that like many Swiss brands, it's an aesthetic choice to allow the wearer to appreciate the form of the lugs. Seiko have demonstrated their expertise on the fit and finish of other aspects of the watch and could if they wish have had a much tighter tolerance and an end link that sits level from lug top to lug top à la Rolex.

Jesus Christ GS owners are delusional. The quote is from a watchuseek thread about the lug gaps in GS.

And the camera is centered on the middle of the watch, so if anything the date should be biased towards the left due to parallax, meaning the misalignment is worse than it seems.

Oris Diver 65 or an Aquis can be found grey market/used for that price. Don't be afraid to go for a 43mm Aquis, they have those stubby lugs and wear much smaller than most 42mm dive watches with maxi style casees. Ebay and jomashop will be your friend here.

Because of this, it may be a good idea to shop the used market (at reputable dealers) and pick up a deal on one of the less popular designs. It's worth a try.

What's a good place to buy a seagull. I wanna make sure I don't buy a fake one.

I work for law enforcement. They say my watch bezel has to be black gold or silver. I'm afraid that I will scratch my watch. I do not want a gshock because I think they look too tactical. Since Im Kinda poor i was thinking of fun watches from swatch or a Nixon. They are cheap and will allow me to show personality in federal employment. Any thoughts or other suggestions? I'm not opposed to driving watches either.

>>14169758
Something from Garmin maybe?

>>14169758
What's not to like about tactical watches?
By the way, you can get a g-shock that doesn't necessarily look tactical, the square 5600 series are an example.

How do chronographs with overlapping subdials like this not hit each other when the hands move?

Reliable and cheap to fix A2836 movement. Bezel isnt grey lol. You sound mad that I got a good deal and can get away with wearing a rolex.

How much do y'all think I could get for a Breitlting Colt Chronograph? Got it 2 years ago £2995 and it's coming up to needing a service, and I've now realised I cba paying for services every few years.
I really like the watch but I'm just not prepared to invest. I have a Tag Formula 1 and I think I won't go any higher than that.

>>14171015
maxi dial and fat hands

ugh

>>14171015
it has anti reflective coating on the crystal
the reflection on the hands isn't seamless and looks segmented
the finishing on rolexrolexrolex chapter ring looks way cheaper
the cyclops magnification is wrong
the silver outline of the hour indexes are thicker
The printing isn't as fine as the original

>>14171020

The non maxi dials look empty and old. They fit with the vintage watch look.

>>14171034

The crystal is one of the only flaws, im planning on getting it replaced for 200$ with a proper one.
Everything else you said it wrong. The other big thing is the date wheel font, but that can be replaced with a gen one.

>>14171015
Brushing is off, cyclops ar is off, indices are off, hands are off. The “platinum” on the bezel is laughably grey. Post a wrist shot I bet you’re a nigger.

Anyone can replicate the blocky Submariner, but good luck replicating the hand-finished curves, lines, and mirror polish on a GS case. Or the microscopically finished dial furniture and hands.

I agree. If I bought a gen watch it would probably be a GS, the spring drive tech and different dials are amazing.
