Who /cheap ass/ here

I'm sick of watches with dates. Why does everything need to have a date on it? What kind of degenerate doesn't know what day it is?

>>14425861
I'm sick of watches with hands. Why does everything need to have hands on it? What kind of degenerate doesn't know what time it is?

Get this watch-

It has an unnecessary hand to annoy you further

>>14425861
Dude I work so much I accidentally come into work sometimes on Saturdays, the days just blend into each other.

I want to get a high precision quartz chrono that has a sweeping second hand for the regular time keeping, not just the timer, any recommendations?
>>14425861
I don't like dates on a watch unless it's a perpetual calendar and I never have to adjust it.

Bulova bulova bulova bulova

>>14425923
I looked into these but the chronos only seem to use a motor that fires once a second for regular time keeping, doesn't sweep.

R8 my grails pls.

>>14426146
Atrocious. Not that the watches themselves are all that bad, but the fact they’re all Seiko and all the same (low) tier.

Could’ve gotten some decent watches for the price of 3-4 mall shitters.

Serious question - what's the point of getting a legit watch when there are 1:1 replicas?

I'm only talking about the ones that have 1:1 replicas, not the ones where you get a quartz replica or some shit like that.

How many rolex, speedie, shitter posts do you need?

Can someone explain to me who exactly are the sub-$5k watches for?

Like, if you get over $1k, but lower than Speedy, who are these watches actually marketed at? Watch guys know that there's no point in buying a non-luxury watch, and normies just buy quartz shitters, so all these ETA watches and such in the $1k-$4k range, why do they exist?

>>14429433
In the most accurate response possible, I would say to bridge the gap between entry level timepieces that are addictive to collect and mid-tier luxury watches that are a little more difficult to attain. They see an open market knowing very well that people who want to work their way up will most likely take it step-by-step and go for what they see as the next level for them. For instance, I worked my first job at 16 a few years ago and collected a few of the entry level essentials before deciding enough was enough and saved a while to buy an Omega SMP 300m. I was able to overlap a couple of different discounts and get it new from AD at almost $3,800 and it allowed me to enter the world of luxury watches from a younger age, which I appreciate. But as for lower end entry level swiss, they most likely capitalize off of the urge that every young enthusiast has to just impulse buy rather than work their way up to their true goal. For instance, I came dangerously close to settling for an Oris diver 65. Thank god I didn't, but the temptation was certainly there, and I'm certain that they have made quite a few dollars off of other watch collectors that weren't as strong-willed. The truth remains that there is a spot in every collection for every tier, I just find myself enjoying working my way towards upper level watches while, on rare occasion, buying an entry level watch that gives me that inexplicable feeling without damaging the money being saved for the next big purchase.

>>14429619
Yeah it's pretty crazy, all collectors vary though. Some only enjoy collecting the most exclusive watches, others feel completely comfortable never exiting the 1k mark, it's a mess but that's why /wt/ is a toxic shitfest, people hate the idea that anyone could possibly disagree with their own preferences. If I'm an affordable collector and you're a luxury collector, that makes you an idiot that overpays for what I deem to be an expensive logo and unneeded frills. If I'm a luxury collector and you're an affordable collector, that makes you an idiot who is wasting money on what I deem to be shitters. Hearing the same argument over and over gets tiring

I've learned that luxury brands that offer sports models are a little bit more truthful when it comes to water resistance ratings, a friend of mine took a datejust on several dives (weird, I know) without any issue. But when it comes to a chronograph with 50m water resistance, I highly advise you stay away from water as much as possible. Too many possible breach points in the case and too low a depth rating to trust at all. There are dive chronos out there that won't run you very much money (seiko solar dive chrono) but the idea of it just seems pretty redundant. I don't understand in what situation you would need a more precise timekeeping complication than a dive bezel yet also need dive capabilities.

Since we are voicing opinions about watches, someone please tell me why people like bronze divers. I don't get the appeal in the natural tarnishing of the metal, and I certainly don't like the thought of how they have things like stainless steel case backs against the bronze case. With a watch that is inevitably going to be making contact with plenty of sweat and salt water, it sounds like you're just begging to have your watch's water resistance fucked by galvanic corrosion. What am I missing here?

What's even the point of stating that an automatic only watch, i.e. non-hand winding, has 40 hours power reserve?

Once upon a time Seiko built a great tool watch; it had a calculating bezel, 200m wr, chronograph... and due to being quartz it had great accuracy anf a very useful alarm. Superb aviation watch, they called it the Flightmaster.

Decades later, knowing people are snob fedora retards, they remake that watch with a shit mechanical movement; making it much less accurate, reliable, serviceable and losing the alarm feature. Also makes it bulkier and more expensive for no gain at all.

Great.

>>14433189
I wish they'd made the watch on the left with the tachymeter and bezel from the one on the right.

>>14433195
The "flightmaster" has been in limbo for a long time with many mediocre releases under it's belt. This isn't a shit mechanical movement it's the 6s37 in-house, integrated column wheel chronograph. You need to work on your aim with that cynicism there are far shittier flightmasters.

I wouldn't buy anything with some guys name on the dial. how tacky.

>>14433220
So no Casio,Cartier, Tudor, Patek Phillipe, A. Lange, Frederique Constant, Dufour, Smith... or what? Retard.

>>14433251
Those people aren't "some guy" they're well known, significant people in the industry. retard.

>>14433255
They started being "some guys".

>>14433263
Yeah back when watches were a fact of life for pretty much everyone. Now they're purely accessories and/or luxury items the game has changed. Some random asshole can't slap his name on a watch dial in 2019 and expect to be taken seriously.

>>14433270
Nothin' personnel kiddo

>>14433274
Oh wow the D is backwards. This is even worse than I remembered.

>>14433205
Good morning Kol

are solar watches good?

>>14433299
They're not automatic so nobody in this thread will approve

>>14433299
I don't get solar watches at all. What's the point? Instead of replacing a battery every few years you replace a capacitor or whatever.

>>14433305
Maybe you're mistaken. I've posted my collection a few times and only the quartz watches from the 70's and 80's got compliments.Nobody gave a shit about the mechanicals which I find more enjoyable.

>>14433312
That's vintage though that has appeal because it's old and retro. New quartz watches have nothing going for them.

>>14433309
I havent replaced any capacitor yet. My oldest Eco-Drive is 12yo and my oldest Gshock 10yo. The Gshock has been used HEAVILY and has lots of features (its a Riseman), runs like new.

>>14433315
That's still at odds with the statement that people here only approve of automatics.
>>14433317
Whatever. It's all anecdotal isn't it. People do need to replace parts in solar watches.

>>14433332
But are the lowest maintenance tech.

>>14433337
Even if that were true replacing a battery every 5 or 10 years isn't really an inconvenience. you can do it yourself or get it done at any number of places. The solar watch is the answer to a question nobody asked.

>>14433312
Post it again please

>>14433363
You're so polite how could I refuse

>>14433348
If yoy want your water resistance assured it starts to be annoying.

>>14433418
Wow you're really grasping at straws now. If you cared about guaranteed water resistance you'd get the watch serviced anyway (maybe wehn getting the battery replaced?) since seals deteriorate over time whether you open the watch or nor.

>>14433384
your automatic watches are shit no wonder no one compliments them

>>14433426
They're in-house column wheel chronos which is better than what 95% of mechanical chronos can say. I don't really care about your marketing brainwashed opinion.

>>14433439
you shouldnt have said that. the omega spergs are gonna start yelling about going to the moon now.

>>14432774
Wtf you're black?!?

>>14433384
Stop wasting money on shit, those watches are fucking boring

>>14433454
The speedy doesn't interest me The speedy you can buy today doesn't have the MOOOOOON movement it has a primitive cost-cutter affair in a primitive cost-cutter non WR case with a primitive cost cutter dial.

>>14433471
I buy watches that interest me. I don't give a fuck what you find interesting.

Can someone make a gif of ArchieLuxury shitting on shitters?

>>14433218
Pretty good for the price, they refuse to acknowledge how shitty the logo at 9 o'clock is though. For that reason, I'm out.

Is it bad that I like these?

>>14433384
Thanks

I thought automatic chronograph are always expensive

>>14433486
The one with blue dial looks pretty good, this one is a bit boring

>>14433486
No, they're pretty cool.

>>14433487
6s28 chronos can be had for about 1k on ebay or a little less on yahoo.
Tag huer sell watches with licensed 6s movements for 5 or 6 grand.

>>14432172
thats how every watchmaker does it. screwdriver or knife because all those springbar tools out there are trash

>>14432774
Oh my. I’m so uncomfortable now.

>>14432182
don’t, you are literally buying trash.
what do you need it for? Plz don’t tell me you just want to change straps or shorten bracelets because everything you got at home can do that even better

>>14432325
sounds more like the movement has a problem like greasy gears. when did u service it the last time?

>>14432774
really don’t want to come across racist but it looks like it doesn’t belong to you. Thats a issue with a lot of smaller fast fashion watches.

>>14433317
there you have your answer. if it works for you and you are happy it is a good choice.
you are really lucky with their durability though. most solar watches get issues after 5+ years

>>14425920
I think Your only option is spring drive or that one vintage seiko with the viscous fluid inside

Anyone know where to buy watch parts from?

>>14433573
No the Seiko 5s have shitty power reserves because they use smaller springs apparently

>>14433299
No, being reliant on light is retarded.

>>14433486
Oris is legit now. I'd much rather get an oris than a tudor or a tag for the same price range.

>>14433486
no. oris doesnt have much brand recognition for its price point, but some designs are nice.

>>14433744
where did you get that information from? highly doubt they cheaped out on something as important as that and also impossible to have that much power at first and being that weak after that short amount of time.

>>14432325
quartz my man. mechanical watches are a meme.

>>14433759
yeah who wants to pay for a well executed watch when u can have „brand recognition“?

Fucking silicone bracelets..
>find every patek design boring
>see aquanaut like in pic and instantly fall in love
>dislike most of the seamaster designs
>see the new one on a silicone strap and suddenly i like the new seamaster

Especially the two tone. The white gold patek looks a bit boring for me, i just like the gold one.
I was also saturated of rolexes submariner design, until i saw the new yacht master in gold on a rubber band.

It's strange, maybe i just dislike metal bracelets, but i also dislike leather ones. Even got a sand colored silicone strap for my diving watch and can't stop wearing it since then, most comfy band ever.

>>14433795
Silicone is a nice trend, leather looks very old fashioned but I don't mind a metal bracelet

>>14433792
matter of priorities

>>14433807
Yeah, expecially when the silicone strap is fitted to the case. The only problem is it's a bit sweaty in the summer, but not too big of a deal.

>>14433795
silicone strap master race

>>14433813
if you just care about brand recognition and consider anything else than a rolex you are a fool

>>14433948
Not true. Brands that are relatively respected and known apart from Rolex: TAG Heuer, Breitling, Patek Philippe
Lower tiers brands that you can explain as personal autism taste because they still aren't ultracheap: Sinn, Omega

>>14433944
Indeed. I hope the industry evolves and starts improving the straps. Something like the bellows on the yacht master.
They minimize hotspots and create a better fit on the wrist. Would love to see more improvements. Or even some combo bracelet
>outer side stainless steel
>inner side silicone inlays for better comfort and less sliding of the bracelet

>>14433966
Is this fag trying to say that Breitling and Tag Huehuehue are above Omega?

Why do we have to stand this level of retards here?

>>14434005
That's how the general public sees it. No one knows Omega. But if you tell them about the moon stuff and James Bond and whatever and that it costs almost as much as Rolex they'll accept it.

LMAO WHO THE FUCK DO SOIKO THINK THEY ARE

REAL DIAMONDS MAAAN

>>14434018
thats based as hell
fuck omega

>>14433795
Silicone fucking sucks. Who the hell pays several thousands for a watch that comes in a plastic strap.

>>14425816
PROPER NEW THREAD IS UP ^^

>>14434174
>>14434174
>>14434174

>>14434158
I don't pay thousands for any watch. But some people like rubber straps. I got bored of metal straps so i started liking certain silicone strap types. Also they are max comfy to wear.

>>14433987
well this is going to make people wild for just mentioning them but Hublot makes the best silicone straps in the game right now by attaching leather, denim etc on top

>>14426146
A watch collection should only have one seiko... two if you count grand seiko. I wouldn't expect to see this many seikos in a collection of 50 watches let alone 9

>>14434344
Thank you for the tip, just googled and the leather ones look well done. Well, we got to thank hublot for pushing this trend this needs to continue.
Also found a pic of a silicone-nylon combo, looks great, imo.

the absolute state of /fa/!

>>14428335
Orient and seikos are good for the price. It will last and work great and if you like the look of it then no reason why you shouldn't get one.

>>14430585
Seiko makes good watches

Is it bad that I unironically want one of these?

>>14434774
no they are a nice essential to have if you don't know what else to get but like that style. but i'd def get into watches more and find a unique type you like before settling on the most common kind. it's all about what interests you.

>>14432774
I think it looks good.

>>14434795
Oh I know, I already have a few watches. I just find the gold Casio's neat, even though they're a lower end watch.

>>14434774
Those are fun watches. Don't listen to the snobs, people who know watches can appreciate it and people who don't do not care unless it is a Rolex.

>>14434048
Need sauce

>>14427733
insanely overpriced and even the cheapest ones were issued to fucking navy divers 200m
discarded opinion

>>14427682
one of the better ones. i might feel its a bit tiny but idk

>>14430558
the jumbo 5600 is just a oversized meme tho

>>14435109
It's not a meme, extra shock resistant, larger buttons, mud resistant buttons, better build quality, better world time display.

>>14433573
I never serviced it. I bought it new a few months ago.

>>14433791
solar, kinetic or regular quartz?
