I hope those are your watches you are posting. Posting someone elses collection is sad.

I can't help but think I've pissed a single retard off. I don't post my shit as often as I used to, but whenever I do the first reply is the same downie with a mean comment. Must have bashed his low-grade shitter once, or called him a nigger or something.

Anyhow no big interesting megaprojects right now, I got a messy ETA-2824, waiting for the go/no-go from the owner on whether to fix it up, other than that not much.

I found the watch i used to wear as a kid that my dad gave me in the early 2000's. I don't have the battery for it (pic related is from google). I hope it still works.

>>14475155
It's mine. I prefer the 15400ST as firstly it's a Jumbo and secondly it's no longer in production so prices have spiked and do not look to be falling. Still can't compare to the 5711R though, I could sell it today for almost twice what I paid for it.

>>14475156
I'm curious as to if you use any Chinese 2824 parts or just gen Swiss ones?

I know that one of the watchmakers i work with does use some Chinese parts on the date mechanism as they are somewhat more durable than the original ones (At least the ones he orders from time to time). But occasionally need to be filed down to size to fit older/worn movement.

Opinions on WeWood?
Saw one of the black ones on a chad and it looked really good on him, but dunno if it only looked good because he was a chad

>>14475355

wooden watches are fun and based. women like them.

also take a look at the wooden watches on aliexpress before you pick wewood.

wewood is good as they use miyota and the aliexpress ones seem not to.

Anyone know of some cheap rubber straps that are not silicon?

>>14475407
>also take a look at the wooden watches on aliexpress before you pick wewood.
>wewood is good as they use miyota and the aliexpress ones seem not to.
So why not just get wewood?

>>14475419

for what watch?
what kind of clasp do you want
what size lug to lug do you need

>>14475434

some aliexpress ones might use miyota. I didnt check. And they are a fifth of the cost so you can get a range of 5 different types of wood.

Tell me about penis quartz. I'm interested in learning more.

>>14475606
For the price of a steel daytona you could get a Royal Oak or a calatrava

>>14475552
I have one that's rebranded Sekonda for sale in the UK, why?

>>14475797
Memes aside, they early quartz watches with good durable movements as they were built to a higher standard at the time. Although after 30~40 years they can suffer some degradation they are usually in excellent spec. Problem is that the GP case are hit or miss and some cases perhaps were polished.


Shame that the prices on the GQ and KQ penisquartzes has risen a bit though, a few years ago they were plentiful for around 100$.

>>14475798
>For the price of a steel daytona
Rolex price bracket is $5k dude.

>>14475818
That's very interesting. All I know is that they're from when quartz was new and was seen as luxury, rather than cheap product. Is there any info on the movement/tech?

How much is too much for penis quartz?

>>14475846
>All I know is that they're from when quartz was new and was seen as luxury, rather than cheap product. Is there any info on the movement/tech?

Depends on the movement, but there are plenty of movements that had a penisquartz logo. From QZ,QR,QT, Silverwaves and KQ and GQ's. IMO i'd search for a nicer 5856 like the one in the pic that i had from a Yahoojp lot years ago.

My only problem with a lot of the KQ's and GQ's are hooded lugs that are basically fit for the bracelet only, and on some of them like the Silverawave penisquartz i have for sale now is that it's barely fitting on my wrist.

A happy Friday, and happy weekend to all. Let the stress of the week melt away, and put all your work behind you. It's time to relax. Put on your favorite watch, put on your favorite record, turn on the air conditioning, and have a nice cold drink. You've earned it.

>>14475907
i love boomerposting

>>14475812
Just wondering, is it better to have the steel or brass case?

>>14475956
Steel is always better, mine is a gold plated dress watch.

>>14475829
Find me a daytona for 5k and I'll buy 20 pieces

>>14475938
If i remember correctly it's either one of the 99XX twin quartz superior or one of the VFA models. Prices on the superior models are absurd right now, however a lot of the 48XX cal movements are shared with the KQ/GQ but more finely adjusted on the superior line IIRC.

Now that i think of it i've had a lot of penis quartzes yet never really liked any except for the the paper dial that i never owned myself.

>>14475972
Yeah, I would really love a paper or textured dial penis. They look so nice.

Just won this shitter on the bay. Never owned a Raketa before, what am I in for?

is there a new filter or something? why does everyone keep saying penis quartz?

testing:
casio
citizen
seiko

>>14476069

ohhhh theres a penis on the dial of grand seiko quartz

>>14476025
For a 2614? A decent vintage watch with a odd quicket.

I've had bad luck with Raketas falling, cracking and proceeding to self destruct on me but i've seen them work after some series shit. Had a few 2609's that died on my and a 2627 that was basically unkillable until the rotor snapped in half.

>>14476004
I've been searching for a decent one for a while, but i have a catch and release sale incoming so i might as well search for a good one now.

Why does every cheap nasty fashion watch use a quartz movement then faggot?

>>14476578
i dont mean its not used.

i mean its pointless to intentionally buy it.

if you are going electronic then you may as well get the heart rate and sleep tracker in a smart watch.

otherwise: get a mechanical watch

there was a nutcase looking to buy a $1k casio here earlier because of the GPS and functions. THAT is a dead watch. Get a garmin or apple watch or $100 honor magic watch instead

>>14476573
>I will NEVER understand the people who trash smartwatches and then say CASIO and quartz shit is cool.

call me when a smartwatch battery lasts 10-20 years and is more accurate than chronometer standards without being synced to a phone

>>14476637
i know my heart rate, its too fast. And I track my sleep, its not enough

>>14476740

I get what you are saying. But there are reasons why you might want more accuracy. A bit like how if you are losing weight you want to look at the scale every day and track progress. Well, you can improve your sleep better if you measure it better and track whats working.

>>14476733

Super accuracy is not that useful when everyones laptops and phones are internet connected. And being syned to a phone is not a bug but a feature. And it doesnt matter when you disconnect.

The watch should either be for fashion or function.

If fashion: mechnical is fashionable and quartz isn't. Though some invicta and wooden watches might have some place. And the crazy mechanical complications are seen as art whereas nobody considers the cheap mass produced quartz as art.

If function: smart phones already offer nearly everything you need except the convenience of quick glancing at your wrist. However there are genuinely real uses for the smart watch:

heart rate (uses pulse)
sleep tracking (uses pulse)
blood pressure monitors (just getting added)
silent alarms (it vibrates to wake you up so you dont need to wake up your partner in the morning)
(also alarms to remind you of end of meeting in a polite silent way)
find-my-phone feature
bus card / contactless payment always near your hand

> Your budget

> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, flieger, etc...
I have no clue what this means but I want something very simple. The quartz watch in this picture is what I would like to go for. I like the color of the band, too. If I could have the day of the month on there too that would be good, but really that's optional.
> Desired bracelet option, e.g. leather, nylon, metal
Anything except for rubber, plastic or metal.
> Wrist size or desired watch size, e.g. 24cm / 50mm
I want a watch that's small. I had a Casio watch that was a good size and I don't know what these measurements mean exactly but this is what's on the store page: Size of case/total weight; 42.0 x 33.0 x 7.0mm / 29g So something similar to that.

I like the quirkiness but doesn’t it feel like wearing a steel block on your wrist?

>>14477840
The watch and its design is based but it might have been wearable if they reduced the size. I get the whole point of it is that its fuckhuge because its functional, but still.

Any pics of it being worn by a fat fuck like Federico to see what a "reduced" version would look like on a normal person's wrist?

>>14477139
Are those integrated bracelets?

>>14477797
Clear winner.

>>14477844
Well it feels like wearing a block of Titanium on my wrist, still big and clunky, definitely not a daily, I realy like it's legibility and accuracy though. Not sure if it's a keeper but I'm enjoying it still.

>>14477849
I think if they reduced the size all around by 2mm and thickness by 4mm it would be a good watch to wear, but then it may lose some of it's big chunky blocky appeal haha.

Every watch looks fuck huge on my wrists so I don't care anymore.

>>14477543

>>14475082

What's this, Explorer II?

Casio AQ-230 with brown leather strap

>>14478167
Epic

>>14478115
There are laws regulating what defines "swiss made" and they're worded in such a way that the watch can be mostly made in china and still have "swiss made" on the dial. The gist of it is that as long as most of the COST of the work was done in switzerland it is swiss made.
That's bullshit though since chinese work for almost nothing so theoretically you could do 90% of the work in china, 10% in switzerland and it would still be swiss made as long as the wiss labor cost more.

>>14478167
Is this how australians see watches

Sinn brand guide:

1. Sinn is pronounced Zinn. It means 'sense' in German, this is a 'sensible' watch for the price conscious, like a Toyota Prius.
2. Sinn is not a luxury brand, but they are not pretending to be either. They primarily specialise in tool watches and that is what you've bought.
3. Sinn use third party movements like so many watch brands in this price range.
4. Sinn are widely respected in the watch community just like Seiko is. Non-watch people have no idea who Sinn are.
5. If you aspire to get into proper luxury brands such as TAG Heuer, Breitling, Rolex, etc Sinn is NOT an appropriate stepping stone. You don't buy Sinn to flip or trade in as it has an abysmal resale value. You're better saving your money and aim to get the piece you want rather than lose money on Sinn.
6. So, when you do buy Sinn, you should keep it in perspective as to what it is, a non-luxury daily beater, that no one will ever recognize or respect.
7. I too have a Sinn 104 St Sa I W but I also have a Breitling Navitimer and ambitions for a lot better pieces.
8. Pick out your next purchase carefully and enjoy your Sinn while you save for a real watch. Wear it in good health and best of luck for the future.

New to analog watches. This would be the nicest I've ever owned. I probably will never be a real enthusiast, but I like the look of this one, and the colors match the colors of the company I work for, so it would be cool to get noticed more by my higher-up's (I don't work in an office setting).

VISIT DELRAY WATCHES DOT COM

Hey someone please answer I want to buy a watch online but can’t decide which case diameter go get.
My wrist is 6 inches at the point where the watch would go.
Should I get a 37.5 mm or a 42.5? Those are the only options I have in the model that I want. Thanks!

>>14478462
Choose the smaller. Large watches make someone with smaller wrists look goofy and unknowledgeable. The only exception is in the case of a tool watch that you use only for that purpose and no other time, such as a watch you only use when diving. Otherwise, stay away from the 42.5 and get the 37.5

I've gone through enough shitters to know what I want, sold them off at a loss except for my reliable generic skx, and am waiting around until its the right time to get something better. I have a feeling I'll just be looking at pictures of langes until I breakdown and get a used datejust or something. What else can I even do.

Helm watches are wonderful value for money, but you shouldn't buy them to impress superiors. Buy something with a more recognizable name if so. If you still want that watch specifically, get it, but fuck those colors are ugly. Get the black vanuatu, assuming it isn't sold out, and call it a day.

Not really going for impressive as much as just being seen, and like I said, the company colors are almost identical to this watch, so I believe it might be a good look at work. Again, I don't work in an office, so the style wouldn't be out of place

Haven't decided for sure. Still interested in hearing others' opinions of Helm's quality or people's impression of a watch like this. I have a 7" wrist, 5' 11" 190, and it's obvious that I lift just from looking at me, if that matters at all for wearing a bit of a louder watch like this. Still new to /fa/ as well as /wt/

>>14478735
Watch in question

>>14478759
Literally what brand is that even? Some noname microbrand?

Phones/computers (and probably smartwatches too) have hilariously inaccurate clocks when not connected to a network.

>>14478284
I don't really care about watches that much but I wanted to say sorry you got shit on and thanks for the guide.

>>14478792
Yeah. Uses a Seiko movement

>>14478810
Thank you for your contribution to my thread.

>>14478759
Last replyer here, in this light the watch colors are a lot easier to get behind, I'm sure it was just the picture. As far as what you get with helm, it is one of my top picks, if not my top pick, for best specs for money in terms of just a 300 dollar tool diver. If the circumstances work and you like it, I'd pull the trigger

>>14478831
What in the motherfuck did you put that watch through

>>14478735
I'd personally grab the new Orient Kamasu or Kano. They're under $300 and look really nice for the price. That one looks a little bit cheesy imo.

>>14478810
yes, it's hard to get somewhat reliable rtc

>>14478118
It's only categorized as a "driving watch" because of the angle. it's just designed to look edgy and that's it

>>14478846
Cool
>>14478878
Will definitely consider this one. Thanks

Is the Seiko SKX007 (and family) the best mechanical beater you can buy?

>>14479037
Vostok amphibia is less common, more interesting, more rugged, and a lot cheaper for something you intend to put in harm's way. Aside from that, the victorinox INOX is more costly, but damn near indestructible.

>>14479013
My Kamasu, red dial. Super cool. Need to get it regulated though, it's around +25 seconds a day

>>14478897
a thermally compensated quartz can easily achieve ±2s/year

>>14479068
He's talking about the internal real-time clocks in consumer electronics like phones
Those are rarely any good.

>>14477977
>Every watch looks fuck huge on my wrists so I don't care anymore.
Man I feel you.
I have tiny wrists for my size and it cuts into the watch choices I can make, although there are still enough that work just fine and look perfect on me.
I'll post a few.

pic related is the old dato. They used to make them in 39mm and it fits perfectly on my small wrist.

>>14479086
That shit is beautiful good for you.

>>14479086
This is the new 41mm and it looks way too big.

>>14479066
no bully, but is this comfortable? looks like the watch is super tight.

>>14479086
another high end choice that looks great on small wrists is the Patek 5159R

>>14479103
Just the angle, watch was all the way down by wrist.

>>14479086
This Daytona I tried on also looks surprisingly small on my wrist even though it's 40mm

>>14475107
>that band
>all the shitty looking screws on the side
yikes

It was the angle you tards look at that gap

Would a speedmaster look absolutely ridiculous on a wristlet?
Ive worn a jlc ultra thin master for the past 6 years cos its the only watch that doesnt showcase how limpwristed I am

The Speedmaster is a haute horology piece that complements wrists big and small.

>>14479257
of course it looks cool but i bet none of you fags actually use the stopwatch function

c/n?

c/n ?

>>14479463

>>14479475
How about now

>>14479483
sure w/e

How the actual fuck does seiko sell 500$ divers with a 4R35 and Hardlex?! Like what the fuck, at least their sport watches have a 6R15 and Sapphire.

>>14479506
huh

>>14479459

>>14479499
Just buy a Seiko skx007, swap out the movement for an NH36, change the bezel insert, get a new sapphire crystal and a new oyster bracelet for a great watch under $500.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER PHUCKERS

>>14478369
second. where can i get a watch with a case like this without the payed-out, normie, hukosai art face?

>>14479591
very nice

>>14479599
>>14478369
i know absolutely zero about watches btw so excuse my ignorance if its obvious what watch that is

>>14479261
That's a reason I haven't got one. I don't want to pay for a chronograph I won't use.

>>14479620
With utilitarian logic like that you should be wearing a quartz or using ur phone.

Sometimes people want to appreciate the sophistication and complications of their watches' movement.

>>14479591
Great watch but painfully uninteresting. I don't know how anyone could justify spending so much on watches with so few defining factors.

Is the SKX line the only good Seiko line?

>>14479620
what you don't cook?

>>14479633
The SKX is okay, but the most interesting lines produced today by seiko are the presages, samurai, and recraft. If you don't mind vintage or higher prices, the seiko bullhead chronos are insanely cool and the seiko marine master is about as capable as any dive watch needs to be.

>>14479633
I hope not. There are 6 seikos in my collection and no skx

>>14479620
Trust me, when you own a chronograph that you legitimately enjoy, you'll find excuses to use it.

>>14479633
I'll take any of the SARX models over an SKX.

Might cop an Apple watch just to post it here every day. :^)

>>14479671
based, do it

>>14479522
Fine, what? What anon, what do you want me to know that you can't say til I reply to you? What insult or query was so fucking funny that you needed me to respond to your "huh" you stupid fuck, you imbecile , you piece of shit

>>14479686
Have sex

>>14479690
No, I hate women irl, everything they say along with generally being gross. But enough of your distraction I want to know what anon means when he posts "huh" like a geriatric

>>14479572
>dude just buy a SKX, throw 75% of it in the trash then spend $300 on parts and you'll have a great watch

Has Seiko fanboy delusion escalated above the current Rolex SS obsession? The mental gymnastics is embarrassing to witness.

Fitbit on one wrist, Watch on the other? Acceptable or no?

>>14479781
>is wearing two watches acceptable

>>14479791
Swatch employees and collectors do it

>>14479060
just don't expect Seiko accuracy, when I had a Vostok Amphibia even after regulation it still was losing/gaining -30 + 50 seconds a day. I would personally chose a Seiko SKX007J

>>14479231
get the Speedmaster Reduced if you have smaller wrists.

Might be a meme watch, but i wore this today on leather and I’m feeling it. Way better in person than in pics

>>14479803
>Swatch employees
>Watch collectors

Don't kid yourself, people who make and collect watches are autism personified.

>>14479923
I like meme watches, and AliExpress sales are nice.

>>14479944
>went to the moon
Wrong movement champ.

Is there any other watch that screams "pedophile" more than this one?

>>14480092
Omega Speedmaster, man on the moon.

>>14480092
I'd buy it if it was RPN and the current time could be used in calculations

Someone make a new thread

>Fake Tudor Black Bay

But only if you own all 3

cant believe they actually cracked the crystal for just one episode of a tv show

What watch or watch type would go with this fashion style?

>>14480276
Invicta

dont mind me, just the best dive watch coming thru

>>14475576
Rolex is great, you just have to buy them the second they come out for msrp (and before msrp raises).

now the 114060 is going for 9/10k, RIDICULOUS

>>14480289
that's ugly.

What are your thoughts on stealing watches? Sometimes I see guys with AP or old guys with goofy gold rolexes, how hard would it be to get it off your wrist?

>>14479231
Pick up an FOIS. Same as the speedmaster pro, but 39.5 (and it's NOT the reduced).
