/fa/ - Fashion

based seiko edition

Just picked this up, mostly for the mechanical novelty.

It's a ~1965 Poljot "Signal", a soviet semi-knockoff of the Vulcain Cricket i.e. a Mechanical watch with an alarm feature, done by setting the alarm hand with the 2nd crown and then winding the alarm, which when the hour hand reaches the alarm hand, causes the watch to vibrate on your wrist.

It's in kind of rough shape, but I got it for a song, and it's definitely not a re-dial or re-case as a lot of these are. Fun little addition to the soviet part of the collection.

And yea, it's far from mint. Still cool

>>14521490
I love the smell of worn out chrome plating and dirty brass in the morning

>>14521496
Its russian, its NOT cool dude. Its sad, really sad.

>>14521535

4u?

>>14521586
For everything except as a diving back up and mainly for larping as the Nazi Cousteau at the beach bar or yachting club.

>>14521538
Yeah, and saying "it's cool" is also just your opinion. The watch is a shit btw, like everything soviet.

>>14521544
Stop getting all your information from shill Urban Gentry or Long Island Watch videos.
The 6R15 movement is infamously unreliable in that they vary from watch to watch. This isn't some hidden fact, a google search will show you a bunch of resources and anecdotal evidence about it.
I've had two watches with it, one was fine (SARB033) the other was terrible (035).

>>14521590
Wow, calm down man. And they say Germans don‘t make emotional watches...

>>14521490
>>14521496
That is pretty much an Adolf Schild movement. AS shut it down and Poljot bought the production line.

>>14521605
neat, had no idea!

>>14521600
Just being descriptive, think of it as poetry and dont take it too seriously.

Did i get my view across tho?

>>14521608
You just sold my own watch to me again

~1954 Longines 19A next to a 1986 Swatch.

>>14521480
yikes

One of my Cosmotrons ran out of juice two days ago so I put in a new battery. On one hand this baby chugged along flawlessly for about a year every day at 36000bph.

On the other hand it sucked dry an entire SR44 battery in a year, which is scary by today's standards.

>>14521630

I had on of these years ago. They are nifty little things however the Seiko Bellmatics (and Citizen Alarm) are far superior even they are much more complex.

>>14521782
Dis 1

What would be the max. watch size for a 17cm wrist ?
The Stowa Marine Original is 41mm wide and 50mm from lug to lug but I have the wrist of a child.

>>14521882
desu there is no way to give a real answer, no two watches wear the same really. If you have questions on wither it'll be to much, and can't try it on, don't buy it.

>>14521655
Bulova precisionists eat batteries too. The high frequency quartz plus sweeping seconds consumes a lot of power, needing a change once a year

>>14521907
I had a 262khz Bulova for a battery change recently. It's just a barren, no-finish Citizen.

>>14521890
Thanks bro.
Not being able to wear this watch because I have the wrong genes.

>>14521907
So citizen isn't adding ecodrive to the bulova precisonists because the rechargeable battery used in ecodrives doesn't have enough capacity?

>>14521934
Probably

>>14521922
Depends, my curv isn't as bare as that one. And this probably would last longer than a typical precisionist, it doesn't have a sweeping seconds hand

I drive.

..a shitbox

First time posting here.
I just have a question.
Friend of mine bought a Rolex Submariner like a week ago. A fake one, he knew that it was fake he payed 350 something euros for it. Now it's not that bad but if you compare it to a real one you see some diffrences.I also know that there are fake Rolex or Omegas that go for like 600-1000 € that are almost perfectly identical to the real thing. Now my question would be what do you guys think about buying fake luxury watches and do you know any wbsites where one can buy such a more expensive fake and or did you buy a fake one for yourself or someone else already?

>https://www.stowa.de/en/Marine+36+classic-arabic-white.htm
Thanks but this one doesn't have the small seconds at six, it doesn't look quite the same without them.

>>14522098
Why buy a "good" fake? If you're just looking to impress people, the average joe won't know a real Rolex from a Fake even with a loupe. If you just want to rock a fake Rolex to, I don't know, impress people, just buy the cheapest one that doesn't look totally shitty.

That said, if you're ever with someone who knows watches, they're going to spot it a mile away and that's not going to be a good look. There are plenty of great respectable watches for 350-1000 Euros, why not buy one of them?

>>14522098
>350 something euros for it. Now it's not that bad but if you compare it to a real one you see some diffrences
Why didn't he buy the $600 one that's indistinguishable?

I'm torn between SRP777 and 007J1. Which one should I buy for my first Seiko watch?

>>14522118
Because he is a cheap shit. And also the 350€ is not that bad I might have exaggerated that a little bit. I know nothing about watches and I had to like like really hard comparing them side by side. Someone who knows his stuff will defenetly see it's fake but at first and second glance you won't.

>>14522128
Yes, but less than double that, and you won't see any difference at all unless you open it to inspect the movement, and even then there are exact movement replicas for some watches.

>>14522139
I know man don't ask me. He wanted a "Rolex" right now but did not want to spend more than 350. So he took the first Submariner he could find for 350ish

>>14522116
>There are plenty of great respectable watches for 350-1000 Euros
Yeah like the...uhh....err....or maybe the...hmmm.....oh right there's.....ummmm.....

>>14522157
The Presage line is literally true patrician.

>>14522103
Langel. I don't know what it is, bought it just for fun on a watch exhibition for €25. It's a shitter but I just wanted something cheap and vintage.

>>14522157
whta about seiko or tissot?

>>14522123
Srp777 if you can pull off the size! I think they're one of the best divers on the market

I just saw pic related for a good price and went for it. There’s just something about the design I can’t shake.

>>14522172
or hamilton, or longines, or fuck, vintage Omegas.

You could get a fucking sweet Vintage Seamaster for 1000 Euro

>>14522176
I have 6.5" wrist. Can I pull it off? If not, what would you recommend?

>>14522201
Probably not.

Though you could get the mini turtle.

Could you guys tell me something about it. I know literally nothing about watches

>>14521480
How do you like it? The U1 would be my first choice if I got a dedicated dive watch.

>>14522116
What watch would you recommend with a budget off 300€. I have a 7 inch wrist. Something minimalistic. I have a hard on for Seiko

What's the most "twink" watch?

>>14522227
my ass

>>14522224
For a Diver? Seiko SKX009
Dress? Something from their Presage Line

>>14522231
As much as I'd be willing to go wrist deep inside you, I don't think it would be very good for telling the time

>>14522227
Σ Japanese brands

>>14522210
It's not a ROLEX Daytona

What is the best rolex and why is it the pepsi GMT master?

>>14522237
You could always just ask me.
I could also tell you different things like the weather your appointments or how beautiful your eyes look

>>14522250
Now that would be very kind of you but I still would like a watch

Thats probably a moon pilot second "gen"

>>14522236

I really like the look of that. Also great aftermarket for mods or at least so I've heard. Now where do you buy watches, I don't see the SKX009 on Seikos Homepage should I just buy it from Amazon?

>>14522157

Thoughts?

Lizard skin strap coming Friday

>>14522222
Nice get.

Do you have any favorite watches? Of course you do. But what about your not so favorite watches. How often do you wear them? Do you wear them at all?

>>14522222
It's comically big and PVD-coatings tend to wear off over time. That being said, it looks ridiculous on my wrist and I only can pull it off because I'm above average height. With that in mind, I love it.

Fun

Hope you bought an original vintage, and not the current resurrected chink one.

>>14522425
lol

>>14522436
It’s vintage. The new ones are quartz. I’m hoping they start selling straps again because originals aren’t cheap.

>>14522179
>>14522436

Nice watch, this guy has a similar one in his collection:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9ptuJswyuk

I know it's fucking hodinkee... but that guy's collection is based.

>>14522412
>No, really. Tell me a respectable sub-1k watch that isn't G-Shock.

Literally any seiko prospex. Take your pick of the design.

>>14522157

There are genuine tourbillon watches for $750, with amazing designs and finishing

There are 7mm thick dress watches for $450 with beautiful dials and very reliable miyota 9015 movement

There are skeletonised white pvd titanium Richard mille lookalikes for $500

The catch is that these watches are all high end replicas. To get this kind of value you must join the dark side

What the fuck is the trick to getting the clasp into the keeper on MN straps?

>>14522677
Ur wearing it too tight

>>14522291
Amazon, ebay, jomashop, longislandwatch, etc. Etc.
Also consider their Turtle dive watches. Most of the SRP77x ref# ones xan be had in budget, and are better watches.

What roles would you consider essential in a three-watch collection?

>>14522811
Sportswatch, dress watch, beater

>>14522811
sport watch
tool watch
dress watch

>>14522811
seiko1, seiko2, seiko3

>>14522811

Thin minimal dress watch on leather. Possibly the big spend and least worn, but something you'd cherish. Think rose gold. Next would be a dive or sport style beater that you can wear literally every day. Definitely steel for this, or maybe a two-tone. Third could be a more out-there piece with a bunch of complications, sporty.

>>14522818
even better if all divers

>>14522811
Depends, are you a suit-wearing faggot? Then dress, diver, chrono, one of which is a beater. If not, then diver + chrono + beater.

>>14522846
I agree, most people really don't need a dress watch. Tons of sporty, casual watches can serve the dress watch role these days.

>>14522855

In that case, it may be that your "dress" watch have a metal bracelet or be on leather, and also not be huge. So watch size could determine your three.

Citizen makes a pretty good watch.

>>14522863
my ideal "dress watch" lol

>>14522811
1. Good all-rounder. Something that can easily be dressed up and down.
2. Tool watch, diver, etc.
3. Something with a complication beyond day/date

>>14522811
Rolex, Omega, G-Shock.

>>14522884

Works perfectly. It's simple and thin. Also works as your everyday sport.

>>14522846
Let's just leave my current status at "I wear a g-shock as business casual." I do intend to branch out, but carefully, over the next decade or so.

How many coworkers or other acquaintances do you see wearing smart rectangles on their wrist?

>>14522923
Only one of my coworkers does it. One doesn't wear anything, and our regional manager wears a Tag Carrera.

>>14522811
the best collection is

gshock handles gym/swimming/gardening/sports whatever. work beater is something boring that people notice, rolex gmt. pleasurable weekend or holiday casual watch, like a seiko diver

What's the absolute best watch I can get for around $800?

>>14522952
Some fancy casio oceanus probably

>>14522952
Either something vintage, or maybe a hamilton intra-matic 38mm.

>>14522952
Any Stowa

>>14522884
Love it. I'd get one but I'm a poor fag right now

I know nothing about watches or this general’s taste in watches, but here’s mine. I used to have this strap on a Casio digital.

>>14522884
i have an explorer 3-6-9 mk2 and damn this is nice, great detail on the top of the crown

not a fan of date complications but this is way better than most

ID on dis?

>>14523032
since it's quartz, I don't mind the date as much.

>>14522864
ELL EMM AYY FUCKIN OH

That shit is giant desu

214270 is the best watch.

>>14523092
That's a funny way of spelling "114270".

>>14523094
>t. Wristlet

>>14523101
It just has more interesting finish & better proportions to be honest.

>>14523101
some of us have small wrists, pls don't booli

Thoughts on this as a low-key cool, utilitarian "dress" watch worn with a suit or tux?

>>14523144
*MADE IN MALAYSIA*

>>14523148
Not really concerned with that. More interested in the look/feel/function

>>14523032

Explorers are probably the only Rolexes I'd want to pursue. I love the look of that one, and I feel like Explorers tend be massively overlooked compared to Daytonas and Subs.

>>14523194
ive gone to a couple of ADs and theyre still all sold out. Ive only been able to find YM1 and YM2 in stock

>>14523197

I love YM1s with a simple silver dial. But this is a problem of Rolex as a whole being massively overpriced and people buying them just to hope they continue to go up in value.

>>14523206
nothing against the YM, just not the watch I want to buy. I even asked about a waitlist (for an explorer 1), and they didnt let me put my name down. "We have customers who we know want the watches and we call them when the watches come in"

Keep in mind, I went in wearing a Rolex too.

>>14523209

Half of watch buying is from the feeling you get of having a timepiece on your wrist, and I'm sure if I was able to throw down $4k for one a decade ago, I'd have a different opinion, but Rolex just does nothing for me in the current market. There's too many other brands that aren't being sought after like that making too many nice watches.

Will Rolex's bubble ever burst?

>>14523144
How exactly is that a dress watch? You utter bell end.

>>14522934
>our regional manager wears a Tag Carrera.
Romanian Yugo dealership?

>>14523214
>Will Rolex's bubble ever burst?
next recession yeah, vintage probably wont budge too much though

>>14523282
Pretty sure that's why he put "dress" in quotes m8.

What's the best site to sell your watch globally? Priority on not being screwed.

Ebay? Chrono24?

Opinions on the Milgauss?

>>14523292
Dacia, but how the hell did you guess the country

>>14523349
TAG is considered a "good watch" only in Eastern Europe.

>>14522819
>rose gold
AHAHAHA THIS FAGGOT
Rose gold is just regular gold with copper, looks gaudy and feminine.

There's all the /fa/ threads where effete slenderbois talk about 500$ handbags, and then there's the watch thread, where neckbearded sperglords gather to drool over some replica tourbillon shit.

>>14523375
Is there a problem, officer?

>>14522811
Flieger, Diver, G-Shock.

Use the flieger instead of a dress watch.

>>14522395
>nobody makes Seiko repli...

>gshock

soi incarnate

>>14522952
Stowa offer Schätzle dials (Nomos), swiss made Universo hands, Fricker cases and ETA movements, designed and supervised by master watchmaker Jörg Schauer, for around that price point. Sturdy and well-built as all german brands, but without sacrificing elegance on the altar of god TOOL, and without that extra one thousand for their in-house hardened steel (Sinn, Damasko).

Seiko offers corresponding value at all price points, but it'll never feel quite as personal as a Stowa. Also their quality control is nowhere near.

Lower end swiss don't really do much for me personally, the designs seem cheap on purpose. (To build that Swatch Group internal hierarchy, guiding you gradually towards that Master Co-Axial.) Except maybe Eterna, which also has more watchmaking cred than the rest of the swiss at that price.

>>14523410
Literally the opposite, not very reddit at all. Most of the consumerbase is either guys who do labor or some hands on trade, or law enforcement, and then a huge following in southeast asia where they get into aftermarket cases and shit. The biggest criticism on them would have been saying that a/wiggers , normal nigs, and some butch lesbains wear them. But most of that audience stopped wearing g-shock a decade ago, maybe eminem still wears one (if they seriously still have him on the payroll for some reason)

>>14523408
I'm not him and I hate seiko, but please, please learn what a replica is

>>14523372
even silver/steel looks abit more masculine.. gold can go either way but will be lost in pattern matching to women's gold accents

>>14523092
Is that the short minute hand piece of garbage?

>>14523430
Replica, fake, it's all the same faggot.

>>14523454
Replica and fake still aren't what that watch is you massive retard. Those are pretty specific words that have nothing to do with what that watch is, if someone ordered a replica and received that they would be pretty mad

>>14523464
No need for the autism lmao.
It's a replica/fake, period.

Just because it has a different logo and proportions doesn't change that.
Look at every single detail, even the 12 o'clock dot on the rotating bezel.

>>14523472
You can say period but it's not a fake or replica, again, figure out what those words mean.

>>14523496
>it's not a fake or replica
Of course it is.

>>14523321
Doesn't chrono24 take a rather large cut?
Then again I believe I'd much rather buy of them than ebay...

>>14523497

Because it looks like a fake/replicated SLA017.

By that logic, Chinese Bolexes aren't fake Rolexes.

If an homage looks too much like the original, it's a replica/fake. Regardless of name or logo.

>>14523536

Serious question here. Since we´re talking replicas today, whats stopping some chink company from reverse engineering Rolex down to the last screw? Put a really good effort, dont skimp on materials and external finishing and sell it for a 1000 or so bucks.

Would that be possible? Is no one doing that because its impossible to copy the mountain jew magic or because there is no market for this?

>>14524018
That already exists you dumb fuck. Literal 1:1 replicas. They cost thousand+.

>>14524018
Google "NWBIG". Most of the time the nice ones are heavily modified ETAs. The goal is to fool someone looking at the movement through the display back (if any), not to fool a watchmaker who is actually working on the movement.

They do exactly that, 500 bucks

>>14524156
How would I fuck your mum into nirvana without it? Think about it anon. In and out. In and out.

>>14524177
Are you, dare I say, insecure about your terrible watches g*rmoid?

>>14524181

I'm insecure as to how to deal with sad souls like you, sucking the joy out of something as trivial as a watch thread. Then again, you're probably the product of a single mum and as an upstanding member of society, I have to take responsibility and fill the void your father has left behind, meaning that I have to call you out on your antisocial behaviour. Dear anon, wash your penis. Make a difference.

>>14524192
THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF G*RMANY SHILL

>>14524200
Yes, anon, yell at me, yell at me all day all you want. As long as you stop hurting others and especially hurting yourself in the process. Do I; does society deserve your rage? Yes, absolutely. Will all the rage and anger in the world turn back time and bring daddy back? I'm afraid not, anon. But instead of bashing the disciples of the world's finest watch making, you can use that anger, use THAT fire and forge a plan for the future that will allow you one day to afford something as preciously and perfectly adequate for the modern gentleman as a NOMOS - MADE IN GERMANY timepiece yourself. Because you will have become the man who deserves it.

>>14524211
Next hes gonna say that s*nn is a tool watch!

>>14523546
No, just if it has the name. Since that is what a replica/fake is.

>>14524215
LOUDER, anon! Let it all out. We're all so proud of you here. You're getting there and you're getting there FAST. Who would have thought 5 minutes ago what a handsome young man was hiding behind those nasty words. Go anon!

>>14524225
>>14524215
Get a room. No one gives a shit.

>>14523882
You dont have to think it's okay, it's just not a replica

>>14524225
Did achmed take all your money so all you can afford is g*rman?

>>14524232
Okay, anon. We have to talk. It's one thing to direct your anger at random people on the internet. Given your backstory, this is understable. What's not okay is however to drag minorities into this. Minorities that, just like you, need our help.

>>14524234
You g*rmoids are a minority in g*rmany now though, you really should have objected the first time I brought it up if you thought it egregious. You sad despicable midget.

Latest cop.

>>14524244

Yes, anon. Focus. Focus on that anger. But instead of bashing that keyboard to shreds, why not trying to melt a girl's heart for a change? Don't worry, no matter how deformed you think you are (and what you're clearly projecting in your insults), a proper watch from any country can tick tock your way into her panties (that's a lie)

>>14524248
Nice!
>>14524251
How about you use that bleeding hart of yours to donate money to starving children in bavaria in stead of buying trash.

looking for a watch like pic related thats silver/steel and goes well with black. any recommendations?

>>14524254
Seiko

>>14524253
Anon, oh anon. Where to begin. The most important thing about a Nomos watch is that you're never really buying it. It doesn't belong to you or anything like that. You're spending money in order to spend time with something as exquisite and extraordinary as a meticulously crafted time-art-piece. It makes every single day of yours like a gala dinner at the museum. Just not quite so boring.

>>14524261
Did you just plagiarise a patek commercial? As expected of a g*rman I suppose...

>>14524259
>Seiko
thoughts? its $80

>>14524265
Patek? What is that? Sorry, I'm not familiar with those rapper accessories.

>>14524271
you truly are lower class aren't you?

>>14524262
>$4000
im a poor college kid

>>14523878
Fake. The GMT arrow shape is incorrect and the lume dot on the seconds hand is too small.

>>14524278
Don't listen to him anyways dude, its a nasty shitter this shill wants to make you buy so his boss will give him an extra 100 reichsmark this month.

>>14524276
Anon, I would never pretend to better than anyone else. But if it makes you feel better, go ahead.

>>14524283
Oh it does, knowing that the common men still have no taste is just another proof that separates us patricians from the plebeian masses wallowing in their squalor.

>>14524284
Anon, that is such a disgraceful thing to say. I want you to meditate really hard on how what you're saying can hurt people. Until our next session I want you to spend $20,000 on Nomos watches. This is not debatable.

>>14524288
I wouldn't wear german even if you paid me 20 grand a day, let alone buying it myself.

>>14524289
Anon, this is your chance to turn the tables around. You have been somebody else's punching bag all your life. A nobody. But with a Nomos, you'll become a new man - for everyone from then on only known as "Sir". You deserve this. Make it happen. Leave your old life behind. All it takes is the click of a Nomos-clasp.

>>14524297
Sounds like you're trying to sell me a Rolex

>>14524301
No, anon. Because I respect you. I'm not selling you a watch. I'm not selling you an image. Not a brand. Nor an investment. What I can offer you... is so much more. A new life. In stainless steel.

>>14524305
Are you saying your g*rmoid micro brand is going to garner more respect than a rolex? I did think you were mentally impaired, but this certainly confirms it.

>>14524310
Will it make everybody's head turn? Don't think so. But it will start a conversation with the people who matter. The people you WANT to attract. No, more than that: the people you want to STAY in your life. Not because they like a watch. But because you like them. THIS is the power of Nomos.

>>14524317
Honey...the people who matter wear rolex...

just got pic related based on the watch guide OP posted.

>>14524322
Seiko is nice and will suffice!

>>14524323
first watch i've bought

I'm getting more enjoyment out of this rep than my genuine Speedmaster.
Replicas are great.

>>14524319
That used to be the case. When Rolex was a fresh brand from a visionary enterpreneur with the spirit of a new age. A spirit that has turned into the ghosts of the past, haunting us. Nomos is not a brand with great heritage. It's better: it's a brand with an even brighter future. Your future. My future. It's time to work on our own legacy instead of buying into the stories of old. Don't you think?

>>14524329
How on earth did you end up with these delusion?

>>14524331
The first time you wear a piece of truly authentic and perfected watchmaking, it's like looking behind the curtain. What is behind the curtain, you ask? A mirror. All the time, this was your life told by other people: your parents, your friends, television, the internet, music stars. With a Nomos on the wrist, you have it in your hand - the time of your life begins with you.

>>14524337
No, with a g*rman shitter on your hand, nobody knows what it is and you've just wasted all your money. If you want recognition you go swiss and you go big.

>>14524341
We've been there, anon. If you want to attract people who see the brand, buy whatever. If you want to meet people who see the brand and want to get to know the person behind it - then, my friend, the options are limited. So you better hurry up and get your NOMOS today!

>>14524322
That's pretty nice, what's the reference?

>>14524254
Casio oceanus

>>14524329
ABSOLUTELY 100% CERTIFIED (SUPERLATIVE) BASED

>>14524280
wtf?! i paid 4 grand for this... are you serious?

Picked up an Orient Sun and Moon V3 from Amazon's warehouse deals section for a steal. Was wondering your guys opinions on wut strap is gud, trying to make it a touch more casual without ruining the look of the watch as I can't afford the cash on another watch currently to better suit the casual role on its own.

I was thinking a leather nato perhaps?

>>14524348
what do you mean by reference?

>>14524402
Because watches are reprinted and changed without changing the dial a reference is added to specific products so that they may be identified.

>>14524399
Get a lizard (or lizard embossed) leather in black or brown.

>>14524409
Its already a black crocodile leather.

>>14524348
just ordered it off ebay. not sure how to get the information you are asking. heres a link

Seiko 5 SNKL23 Automatic Day-Date Black Dial Stainless Steel Mens Watch SNKL23K1
https://www.ebay.com/itm/282718513218

>>14524418
crocodile leather looks gay

>>14524423
I don't disagree, which is why I'm looking for alternatives. Though I don't hate it as much as I expected I would, not exactly a high bar to set however.

Buy 214270.

You’re an idiot if you paid that.

>>14524399
I had this watch. I put a black leather hadley roma on it. I liked it but sold it because a- too thick b- from the side it's apparent that the second hand it just a stamped thin sheet of metal and I couldn't unsee it and that ruined it.

>>14523905
It’s been fantastic thus far. I work outside on occasion, and it’s survived a ton of harsh field work as well. I love this watch.
