Yes, go for it anon!

1990s Seamaster quartz as a beater? what's a good price

>>14509625
Under $1800. You can find the non-Bond versions with the sword hands for $1.1-1.4K.

I almost bought that one but no backlight seems like a shit deal for that digital sub interfact down there. then you might as well either go full digital or stay full analog.

re Your Rolex Oyster booklets, is this correct ?

ENG = UK
USA = US

and the year should be the year of the watch OR the prior year. So a 2011 watch can have a booklet printed in 2010 or 2011, but not 2012

I had the day off, and it was such beautiful weather that I decided to take advantage of it by visiting my buddy who still wrenches on aircraft. We drove around the airport and chatted with some fellow old greasemonkeys. We were going to fly around but other events cancelled that. Regardless, it was a fun way to spend the day. I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend!

What are good ways to rub it in people's faces that I own a Rolex?

I don't want to make it obvious. The best method I know is to cross my arms, so the face of the watch is directly facing the plebian in front of me. If I feel like stroking my chin, I'll purposely do it with my left hand to make the watch more apparent.

>>14510016
If you can stretch to £20 go to bark and jack. Genuinely good NATOs.

>>14510156
DON'T, wearing a "luxury timepiece" is straight out ridiculous (unless you're flaming faggot rocking glamcore)

Acceptable watches for men:

dress watches (subtle)
real tool watches (Sinn etc)
historic homage watches (pilot's watches, nautical themes)

>>14510156
100% chance that you own either some vintage 34mm garbage from the 40s that you got for $1000 and doesn’t keep time, or a fake. Either way. Neither is impressive. Acting like this negates every single positive effect of wearing a nice watch.

What exactly is the target market for these watches /wt/? It just seems so awkward. You'd be better off just getting a G-Shock and a Speedy instead of them.

Wearing my 36mm wristlet-friendly Brazilian shitter today. Thought I killed it a couple of days ago when putting a new fence up in the back yard, but it turned out to be alright in the end. Old pic because I can't be fucked taking a new one right now.

What are you wearing today /wt/?

>>14510339
you enjoying it? I want that eventually, but a JDM ver. with the kanji day/date.

>>14510339
Cheap trash. At least SKX has style.

>>14510460
An skx is misaligned overpriced garbage with mineral glass and spotty accuracy. The pepsi bezel and cushion case don't have more personality then a red dial or the handset

>>14510443
Have that version, I think the date wheel has kanji/english

>>14510490
Meant to say that I think every version has kanji as well. Also yes I really like it, around +30 a day. Use it when I do my swim workouts to time myself because I can't see the clock across the pool.

Is it true that they can track your position with GPS watches and atomic clock watches, or do they act as receivers only?

>>14510497
Both multiband and GPS are only capable of receiving
If your watch has bluetooth/wifi though it could share data with a smartphone app if you let it

>>14510530
How can you know if there's a transmitter in it though? I wouldn't be surprised if they're putting them inside.

>>14510532
Because it would be uneconomical, impractical, and easy to be caught to put LTE radios in every G-shock for illegal spying
If you want to be certain, you can take your watch apart and inspect it for out of place chips and antennas

>>14510544
Yeah but then in 5 years, suddenly some guy says "oh right those G-Shocks, yeah, we've got a database of all your movements in the past 20 years, lolxd"

>>14510561
Literal schizo.

>>14510393
are these still available to buy anywhere? I was born in brazil (live elsewhere now) and im going back to visit soon. Wouldnt mind having one of these to wear on the trip.

>>14510561
I hope youre not carrying around a smartphone if youre remotely worried about this.

I'll be in Moscow soon. Any modern Russian brands worth picking up?

>>14510709
>>14510680

>>14510383
I don't understand it myself. Fortis was around for a while, and eventually got involved with the Russian Space program. Their aesthetics in general are 'cool' tool watches, but using standard ETA/Valjoux/Lemania movements.

As for Sinn and the others, they got involved when the market for mid or low-mid tier mechanical watches was growing. Consider that for some time it was only Omega, Tag, and Oris. Not much to choose from, so why not have an extra company here and there providing a different look but the same basic engine inside.

Now the market has started to contract, probably for the last time in history, so now these brands are not only irrelevant but they'll begin to disappear as quickly as microbreweries will.

It's a strange thing, actually, watching how this is all unfolding. The main demographics who have money for this shit is now the Arabs, the Russians, and the Chinese. The average person, if they are saving for a 'luxury' watch, isn't going to go with a smaller brand because it's going to be their one and only watch. That being said, the Chinese don't buy except for the name and status, the Arabs only go for visible wealth, and the Russians...well, they go for anything really at this point.

So I don't know...but as Fortis was bought out last year I think, I'd say if you want to buy any of these watches from these brands, do so now because who knows if they'll be around in 5 years from now.

>>14510468
Mine is fine.

>>14510468
This poster isn't wrong, but I've had good success getting used ones over eBay with decent alignment and excellent accuracy. Many listings accept returns, and eBay covers you if an item isn't as advertised. Also, putting in a sapphire is not that hard if you're careful, and the result looks great. It's not reasonable to have to go though that fuss, but it'll get you a great watch for below $300, which I don't know many other examples of. Most things below that price look worse if you want to stick to automatics.

>>14510730
Well, Germans are always going to have one brand like that, since Le German Industrial Aesthetic blah blah, I think that's the main draw of Sinn, if it was from some other country, it wouldn't have the same appeal. Who else does "tool" stuff in the same price range?

>>14510762
>>14510730
Also Fortis is still actively doing new limited editions and shit, for quite a lot of money.

https://www.fortis-swiss.com/pc7-team

>>14510756
Why, why do you want a fucking skx this badly? I don't understand why seiko fags lust after them this much. No great watches under $300? What are you talking about? You can get a million microbrands with a miyota 9015 or NH35 in them with sapphire, or less obvious models from orient/citizen that have sapphire, or hell, even staying with seiko but not buying an skx, what is wrong with you? I've seen an skx in macys, was not blown away, is there an easy free mod where it sucks your dick that I don't know about? I can't imagine liking watches enough to be on a thread like this, but retarded enough to spend around 150-200 on an skx knowing the specs (and risk) and then on top of it spending EVEN MORE money to mod it

>>14510762
I think Damasko has watches doing the same thing, different aesthetic. Stowa does it for fliegers, and then there will be others that don't perhaps have the international name recognition but still the same engines.

>>14510766
Yeah, someone must have bought them. I don't know who the target market is though...and given what happened at Baselworld this year, I'd guess the target market is diminishing rapidly.

>>14510802
>given what happened at Baselworld this year
What happened?

>>14510730
Can anyone give me a run down of alain silberstein and what model if any is their flagship or go to? I actually really love these designs but the brands online presence and even info on them seems really difficult to come by imo. From what I've seen on chrono24 and a few random listings they are more expensive then I thought they'd be, I would of expected a wacky clownhouse brand like this to drop like bricks on the 2nd hand market

>>14510793
Orient and Citizen produce mainly bland crap. Seikos are better overall in design, though probably equivalent in accuracy. Microbrands are interesting but there's a ton of shit there too. Because Seiko produces so much, it's pretty easy to identify good ones on the used market, since so many are out there. For the same reason, there's lots of resources out there for modding which is really not that expensive and an interesting thing to try. None of this is actually that complicated and it's a fun entry point into a hobby that's not otherwise very accessible since the stuff that is really good is all at least four figures.

>>14510807
Many youtubers covered it, but basically the Swatch group didn't attend. Like, the whole Swatch group. Furthermore, the offerings that were there were not interesting, horologically special or other, and what it seemed like was that the companies were not particularly interested in showcasing their wares to potential individual customers and were rather waiting until the distributor/dealer only watch gathering that happens a little later in the year (can't remember the name of it...it's an acronym like IHSS or something like this). In my view it all points to a 'quartz crisis' situation like they had in the 70's, where the manufacturers all had to band together for survival. The signs are the same, but the cause is entirely different now. Mechanical watches as a luxury item are no longer relevant in society, because now the luxury items are high technology (the newest phone, computer, etc.).

>>14510811
I remember Silberstein from my times in the UK, when he was big; you could see a few of his 'creations' in Harrods in the watch department next to Corum (I don't know if they still carry Silberstein). I honestly hate his designs...every single one of them. It's kitsch and low-brow and awful, just awful in person and on the wrist. The kind of watch a New York socialite would wear to the Guggenheim for the latest exhibition. In the 1980s. They're expensive because they're supposed to be 'haute couture' for the wrist, and when I briefly looked into them they were using standard ETA/Valjoux movements like everyone else. Sorry to be so negative about his stuff...but god is it fucking terrible in person to see these things after you see a Lange or a Vacheron Constantin...

>>14510819
I don't think seikos are better overall in design at all, the last cool watches they had with bang for buck were the sarbs, those were it, maybe the monsters when they were cheap. But taste aside the actual watch is objectively terrible for the money. You are arguing that seiko on the dial is worth the horrible everything (except lume and I guess the steel case it's in) over everything else. A mako or ray is better, a promaster is better, and any microbrand with close ties to chinese factories absolutely kills the skx in specs (Phoibos I have experience with, dagaz off the top of my head, and then probably half the brands on channels like one more watch or whatever random rob is sent)

>>14510173
Sinn are not tool watches.
Sinn are terrible watches.

>>14510827
>Mechanical watches as a luxury item are no longer relevant in society, because now the luxury items are high technology (the newest phone, computer, etc.).
That seems very ass-backwards.

>>14510827
No I mean, I believe you, that is pretty much the only reason I could see them being that much since its 100% design and then a normal ETA. Shame they are not normally priced watches for what they are with crazy designs. Part of the reason I'm happy with my large sub $500 poorfag collection is that there is so much dead fucking space between $500 and just a rolex. The only watch I really like between an oceanus and an explorer 2 is a sinn 104, but I've seen too much bullshit regarding their quality control, not going to fuck around with it or give them any chance when they are going to charge over a ground and proudly put "made in germany" on the dial.

>>14510853
*grand

>>14510843
Agreed, but it is the way it is nevertheless. Because of the built-in obsolescence and the ever quickening pace of IT development, the latest phones are only good for 2 years, the latest computers for 4, etc. That being said, you need the latest computers soft and hardware to run the latest games, you need the latest phones to keep up with the latest apps, etc. Mechanical watches are completely foreign as an entity to all of this; the developments happen over decades, not months, and with servicing you can wear the same watch like my Dad has since 1966 and it's as good if not better than the modern namesake (we both wear Seamasters). It's stupid really, if you think about the whole thing. In the 60's, every man needed a watch, and all watches were mechanical. Today, every man needs a phone and a computer, and both of those tell time more accurately than any mechanical watch.

Anyone who's seen my long drunken rants before knows how I feel about this, but I think I've just accepted it as the way things are. I love watches for what they represent, but I understand why they are in the position they're in with regards to society, disposable income, wealth and status, etc.

>>14510853
Well, I'd put it this way regarding the Sinn. If you want it, find a dealer, try it on, see how it is on the wrist, and find out what kind of warranty and stuff you'd have on the piece if you bought it. That's really the only way that you'll know if you want to save up for one or not to bother. You'd be surprised at how quickly one's opinions can change on a watch when you strap it on for the first time.

Case in point: a year ago I changed jobs and my income was far larger than it had been before. Thus, I decided to start going into watch shops to try on watches I'd never dared think about before but were now within the realm of possibility. All were disappointing except the Rolex Day-Date, which is glorious in person and on the wrist. The most disappointing was a surprise to me: the JLC Reverso. I hated it. It looks amazing in pics, but on the wrist it feels like cheap plastic, and the finishing isn't impressive in the least. I remember leaving the boutiques feeling rather sad at all of it...because the illusion was destroyed. I don't know, maybe I need to try one on in gold or something heavier like platinum...but it still looks and feels wrong in my eyes.

When I tried on the Speedmaster for the first time, it felt right, it looked right, and it sang. Silly, corny, but true. So that's how I knew I'd want to save up for one. Pretty simple.

>>14510856
>Mechanical watches are completely foreign as an entity to all of this; the developments happen over decades, not months, and with servicing you can wear the same watch like my Dad has since 1966 and it's as good if not better than the modern namesake (we both wear Seamasters).
That's exactly why I think it's ass-backwards, it's something that you can buy that's not a part of the retarded rat race upgrade cycle, so it seems like a much more sensible thing to do.

Also, do people really buy all that new electronic shit, I only buy one computer every 8 years or so, and that's it, why would you need anything more than that? Especially now that there aren't any massive leaps forward anymore.

>>14510339
Orient kamasu?

>>14510866
Well, you're lucky. Laptops, which I need for work, are pegged at 2-years or 2.5 years depending on the company; if they work more than that, it's considered a miracle. Granted, I've only had one laptop break down (the Dell), and that was after 3 years, but the tech inside is still not something you can easily switch out (unlike a tower). As for phones, you see this in the business model of most cell-phone providers; they do plans that 'include' a cell-phone, with options for upgrading it after a year or two. These things are disposable.

Mechanical watches, in the traditional sense, are not supposed to be disposable. So, you're right that it's ass-backwards, but it's also something that companies hate providing. Why would you create something perfect so that a customer only has to buy it once, when you can build something that has enough flaws that the customer comes back to you every few years to upgrade? For a long time, the luxury watch market was hell-bent on selling people watches 'for their collection' (i.e. the owner has more than one watch because they like them and want to collect them, like Pokemon cards). With high end companies (Patek, Lange, etc.) they still do this, only subtly; for instance, for you to be eligible to buy their rarest releases, you have to have already purchased several watches from them beforehand.

No, it's all just a way to get people to spend money, like any business. It's sad, but it's true, and that's why I kinda feel bad about saying such terrible things about Silberstein's aesthetic. At this stage of life, if someone likes a watch, then why the hell shouldn't they buy it? If they're informed about all the pitfalls and problems, and they still want to go through with it, then as long as it makes them happy when they look at their wrist, I support it.

To jew you on service and other related shit of course.

>>14509609
Questionable, I think you can better spend the money choosing your own watch(es).

1) You can’t choose or return the pieces (though you can S/T through their FB group) some people get crap and miss out on better pieces because of this

2) The whole concept of “guaranteed more than retail” relies on some weird benchmarking (e.g., in some cases the “retail” they compare to is a single-seller product on Amazon)

Baselworld is expensive to show at. All physical shows are declining because of the internet. Mechanical watches are still relevant luxury items. Also there are contrarian trends; paper book sales rising while ebooks decline, persistence of vinyl records.

Arguably the smartphone "look what I've got" craze peaked around 2010-2015, since improvements are more gradual.

I honestly feel that for better or worse mechanical watches as a luxury is on a rise. The Instagram “look at me” attention seeking hype beast wave is in full effect, where everyone is trying to flash cash and show how much bank they have. For this reason people are getting into watches, especially the younger generation. Sure it’s for superficial reasons but the hype is still being built.

>>14511321
I don't like the hour hand, counterbalances on hour/minute hands in general, the shape of the lugs or the lack of a crown guard.

>>14511318
>I honestly feel that for better or worse mechanical watches as a luxury is on a rise.

Yes they will never go away. For the same reason as people don't wear Nikes to funerals, collect paintings or go for walks in the wilderness, humans place a value on beauty and craft, it's not all about the most practical & efficient option. If someone has a suit tailor made they don't want perfectly straight stitching. It's apparent with Facebook declining, physical books making a comeback etc, that the digital lifestyle peaked and leveled off in the mid 2010s.

>>14511354
Why would you pay a premium for a tailor made suit that's not even stitched properly?

>>14511362
Because human skills are something beautiful and enrich a society. I would rather want to live in a society with skilled people than with dumbasses who rely on software to not starve to death.

>>14511321
Looks better after losing that awful hour hand. Seiko are so close but so far. Why can't they do a watch that looks like the SLA017 but for £300? Do they not want money?

>>14511378
Not bad

>>14511376
But you're saying that humans can't even stitch straight, or at least the "tailors" you know

>>14511378
It does look great with the MM styled hands but i prefer what they did with the SBDC051, even though the 750$ price is still borderline acceptable.

>>14511381
>But you're saying that humans can't even stitch straight, or at least the "tailors" you know

Every god damn tailor on the face of the earth is using a stitching machine. But there is something beautiful and unique about craftsmanship, it turns objects into pieces of art, that speak to us through their inherent human imperfections. Just like you can pick up a book from 2000 years ago and have a conservation with its author that transcends time, you can get that same sensation when sitting on a 3000 thousand year old Egyptian chair and break it.

>Why would you pay a premium for a tailor made suit that's not even stitched properly?

A tailor made suit up close has 'puckering' and slightly irregular stitching, but from a distance the fit is perfect

Versus a Costco suit where up close everything is neat or even glued, yet from afar it looks boxy and awkward

I'm in Osaka rn, any one got recs for a used Japanese watch, ~20.000-30.000 yen, day date in Japanese, and possibly gold color?

Right, so you start out by saying "sumimasen". and then you try english, and then you use your phone to translate if you get lost.

Looking amazing there and thanks for the info. I am not a fan of the hands though, particularly the minute hand

>>14510793

Decent watches start at around $2k to $3k bare minimum (hint: it likely needs to be Swiss to be decent)

>>14511487
That looks cool

>>14511545

>>14511558
Hey, that's not fair. Rolex give Swiss watches a bad name with their awful quality and overblown prices.

Pretty sure a Chris Ward has comparable quality.

Just got my Vintage 60s Tissot cleaned. I like it, but I'll have it polished soon, maybe I'll replace the dome. It's plastic and has some heavy scratches on it.

It's not about quality it's about snob factor. Seiko is shit and will always be shit. Humans have no control over how they react to brands. It's not "fair" that a BMW is cooler than a Kia but that's just how it is.

>>14513318
Chink Reps

But seriously probably forums, then chrono24

What is the best one single luxury watch to get, since I'm a poorfag and I really don't want to have to buy more than one? I like the Speedmaster but I don't like it enough to spend 4 grand on it. I would buy a Sinn but it's not recognizeable and respectable enough, and Rolex is just viewed as extremely gauche in my country.

>>14513323
well thanks for asking for my advice. I think the Milgauss is an excellent watch that often gets overlooked. I'm a fan of the modern black dial myself. At the end of the day it stands alone out there...nothing else really resembles it. If you want to truly wear a watch for yourself and nobody else, buy it and enjoy it.

>>14513328
Seamaster?

>>14513343
Thanks Bill, enjoy your watch in good health.

>f-91w is all you need anon!
Fucking fell for the meme.
From one year of ownership, this shit is already starting to crack and it resets every time it gets a stronger bump to it.
Sometimes I am in a rush and gotta go FAST so I just smack in on my wrist and BAM! the fucker resets.
Rust is starting to appear on lug screws too.
Never went swimming or had it in the shower, just minimal rain exposure.
Absolute rubbish.
Is there a F-91W equivalent that can withstand abuse? No idea about G-Shocks but I heard I need to look into them.

The original cushion case diver is the Seiko 6105, classic diver from the seventies, as featured in the wrist of Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now.

Seiko has done re-editions that slightly differ from the design, like the ~300$ Turtle, and also a more faithful limited edition just recently, that sells for thousands. The vintage models are expensive as well.

The one you linked is an homage model from some microbrand, I forget their name.
