First for Seikos are overpriced shitter fashion accessories that have no horological value, tasteless designs, don't keep time and have terrible QC.

If you buy one you will never have sex.

Sinn is best

Fuck Soiko und Soimega

Are OPs/DJs/DDs suckers’ Rolexes?They’re available all the time at every AD and have comparatively little collectors value compared to sports models, seems like you’d be getting hustled buying a dress rolex even if you do like it

Tissot owners are beyond based

Vostok is one of the best value watch brands there is.
Dont @ me

>>14635271

What is it going to take to get you to finally like this brand?

Why does everyone shit themselves over the Royal Oak.

It's fucking ugly, it's just a tarted up oyster quartz.

>>14635195
The 44gs case is the only good Grand Seiko design imo and it’s gonna scratch easily
The new hand wind model they put out is nice in concept then you see how ugly the short ass lugs are and it’s like damn who designs these things? They need to do better. The vintage remakes of their first GS models are nice but they were limited I believe

Reminder that Seiko is the only brand that has a cute female ambassador with sufficiently hairy arms.

>>14635288
Sharp edges, brushed and polished contrasts
It’s a fashion watch that had a jlc movement, still based on that jlc I think
Horological a shitter, get a Lange

>>14635255
Kinda want a Visodate Heritage for a clean dress watch. It kinda works out because I prefer to buy big divers, and rarely ever have the occasion to dress up enough to warrant a dress watch.

>>14635301
I literally just said 'oh god' out loud

>>14635301
Holy cannoli, is she Greek or something? Fucking look at that thicket, ay dios mio.
Just imagine, she probably has a professional gardener go at her legs with a hedge trimmer in the morning and lines of missionaries lining up to bring the word of God to the undiscovered tribes of savages living in her underbrush. When she dies, five percent of the world's rainforests die with her. She has an industrial wind tunnel to blow-dry her arms. She weighs fifty pounds extra when she gets out of the bath.
Goddamn!

Not been to /wt/ for a while. What's with all the Sinn chat.

Is it just facetious or is everyone suddenly obsessed?

>>14635301
Speaking of hairy arms, which watch is this?

>>14635314
It's all just shitposting to be honest.

>>14635249
Have you forgotten the steel sports watch drought (fake or not) is going on? If the AD's had stock (or weren't selling any they do get on the grey market for huge markups) the windows would be full of those. The AD's are only putting up DJ's and DD's because that's all they have.

>>14635356
I think I might finally get one of these.

>>14635217
My last big tiddie gf really liked my Seiko

cop?

>>14635288
Iconic design, fantastic bracelet, extremely good dial finishing and the Genta history. Without the Royal Oak AP would have died as a company decades ago.

>>14635420
Sure. If you like it buy it. Every day you wear it and look at your wrist you'll think to yourself "Yup, I'm poor".

I found that if I turn the crown back slightly when setting the time on my seiko 5 I can get the seconds hand to stop on the watch, and turning the crown forward will set it moving again. Is this bad for the watch?

>>14635271
Honestly it just blatantly is. Tougher than a seiko 5, same price, better history, better accuracy, and more features.
Only thing is that the fine details isn't great. My hands are slightly off and the lume dots are clearly put on by hand.

>>14635447
No, it's not. Don't do it so much that the second hand starts moving backwards though, that can damage the pallet jewels.

Work is telling me I can't wear metal wrist bands because they dont break if it gets caught on shit. I dont see how, they're both held on by the same tiny little pins.

Rubber bands are required but they're so FUCKED I probably won't even wear a watch anymore.

>>14635451
ah, so does that just get the pallet fork and balance wheel to stop moving then? I was worried it was grinding gears or something. Thanks for helping a retard out. This will make it a bit easier to get the seconds hand right.

>>14635489
Basically it takes advantage of a poorly adjusted canon pinion. It puts reverse torque into the gear train (ideally the canon pinion slips when you adjust the hands via the crown; in this case it doesn't). When you backhack, you put in just enough torque to balance out the torque from the mainspring, so as far as the escapement is concerned, the watch is just wound down, and they stop moving. Too much, and the torque in the gear train goes the other way (you're actually winding the mainspring at this point), and the escapement runs backwards.

>>14635301

>dress watch

>>14635564
Why?

>>14635581
I've considered an older used quartz Omega Seamaster or Aqua Terra as a nice watch I wouldn't have to worry about as much

First custom thing. In the six months it took to have coated, I lost a couple of parts. Does anyone know where I can get the bezel gasket, the gasket to hold the crystal in the caseback, and the crown?

>>14635591
>those shoulders and muscle definition
Is this unironically a tranny?

>>14635420
I thought it was an AP RO at first. You disappointed me.

Any recommendations for a cheap and reliable watch that I could wear with a suit?

>>14635635
>Getting that customized

Holy shit

>>14635301
Good god, I appreciate seeing some hair on a woman's arms, but that is spectacularly overkill

>>14635647
Yes I'm retarded, but other than coating it was cheap.

>>14635635
probably best to just buy a new one for those parts, they're not expensive

>>14635673
yeah I was trying to avoid that, oh well

Cop or not? 300M, sapphire crystal, chronometer certified, for under $300. Company's a one-man operation run by an Englishman with outsourced parts.

>>14635692
What's the company name? I can't make out the name on the dial

Can any anons recommend watches that look similar to this? I can’t dig up any specifics on the movement from their website, and I only stumbled across them due to the Barron Trump/John Titor research threads

>>14635702
Check out Orient. Maybe this one?

>>14635695
yeah it's "Gay Men Inc."

>>14635695

>>14635702
Ingersolls look intriguing, but I hear they go bad rather quickly, had one, but sent it back because of a scratch on the inside of the glass. They are also rather huge, a lot of their watches being 45mm. The brand itself has been bought, sold and bankrupt several times. I think even now they are just selling the rest of the stock, or have their watches available only from third party sellers. Tissot Visodate is a similar style, or some MontBlanc offerings if you dont mind going for a non-watch brand.

>>14635867

>>14635214
Rolex DayDate 36mm:
Been away from the watch scene for a while. Dismayed to find that the DD 36 that doesn't have diamonds on the dial is gone from the Rolex website.
Does anyone know whether or not the non diamond dial 36 DD's are gone for good?
I'll have to ask in a boutique today.
I wanted a 36 DD, rose, president bracelet and a black dial (batons).
Oh well.

As far divers/tool watches go it's hard to be Marinemaster 300 Tuna with the 7C46 movement like the SBBN031 or related models, otherwise look for Citizen's like the BN0190 or some of the newer field watches like the BJ7110 (Blackbezel+black inner+yellow indices looks lovely).

As far as pilots watches go you could always try to get a solid 7A28 (or 7A38) or one of the simpler flightmasters.

None of those are dress watches, the Cellini range are the only Rolex dress watches.

>>14635237

IT'S HIP TO FUCK BEES

>>14636346
Tell that to all the guys in suits wearing Subs or Daytona's. Sports watches are the new dress watch.

Reminder that a $500 Tissot Ballade COSC with silicon balance spring and 80 hour PR has a better movement than your gay Rolexes

>>14636440
Not true but if it makes you feel better buying and owning a cheap shitter then enjoy your safe place.

>>14636448
Same accuracy, silicon vs parachrom hairspring, 80 hr vs 48 hr PR, costs 15x less.

Objectively superior in every way

>>14636455
Except you'd look like a girl wearing one.

>>14636460
That's a very sexist comment you just made. It's 2019.

>>14636440
That moment, like the watch itself, is disposable chinese made junk. Might as well have bought a seagull.

>>14636478
>Switzerland is in China now.

>>14636478
Good. Means a service will be a cheap movement swap every 5-10 years instead of paying a grand and sending it off for months at a time

The waffle dial texture, the overuse of blue and the unframed date window (the blue also looks really over saturated but that might just be the photo). If the dial was plain matte white, the indices in steel and text in black, and the date window had a steel frame, it would be decent looking. As is though it just feels a bit off
The BB36 I mentioned looks much better as an every day watch and something like picrel as a dress watch. The 1926 feels confused

Regardless, it's not even a good looking watch and wasn't rated in the day. Got famous because of paul. I need a better reason than that.

Are Amphibas noticeably thicker than komandirskie's when worn?
I have no particular interest in automatic movements, is it feasible to wind it daily, or is it more of an afterthought on these models? Not looking to buy one and remove the rotor unless I got one used for cheap.

>>14637126
Komandirskie and 420 case Amphibia side by side. They're pretty chunky.

I wind mine daily, but if you only wear it occasionally get one without a date otherwise you'll hate it.

>>14637126
I have an Amphibia with the 120 case and it is pretty thicc in comparison to one of the brass cased komandirskie models. If you wear it every day and walk / move a reasonable amount, you shouldn't need to manual wind it.

Since it's a fashion item just like some trainers or jeans for you don't worry so much about it. If you like the look of it simply buy it.

>Not suggesting any watches.

Here OP. You're right to not to want to spend anything on watches. Just stick with quartz until you're willing to spend the big bucks. Timex, (Weekender/easyreader/expedition), citizen (ecodrive) casio and Seiko (solar) should do you nicely at the cheapo end of the spectrum. You'll probably get more plebs complementing you on your Weekender than you will on a lot of luxury watches anyway.

>>14637613
I'm not sure I agree with this advice.
How are you supposed to make a tasteful and wise purchasing decision if you don't fuck around with shitters first? Are you saying that your first watch was a luxury?

>>14637541
Citizen sells functional watches at reasonable prices. You can buy a solar pro-master diver from them for $80-$150 (depending on where you shop) that will practically never need a battery replacement, is very accurate, has excellent lume, screw down crown, and is ISO certified.

Seiko's recently discontinued SKX007 used a decades old mechanical movement that stops if you don't wear it for a day, for $250. They are replacing it with a similar looking watch for +$100, no ISO certification, no screw down crown, 100m less WR, and a similarly shitty movement.

Seiko is a bloated fashion shitter at this point. Every watch that made them famous for value is being rereleased at +50% retail price (with the exception of cocktail time, which they downgraded and mutilated). They saw people liked the Monster/Alpinist/etc, so they simply doubled the price of them. The Seiko will probably looks nicer than the Citizen, but that's about it.

is there any good 36mm luxury watches out there that are good ?

seen the Rolex OP and DJ, it's nice but i would never wear one just because of the fuckwits that do wear them

a 36mm Grand Seiko would have been perfect.

>>14637628
I was looking forward to the alpinist but now I've learnt they will be priced up I'm going to say nah. What's a good alternative? I'm wanting a outdoorsy watch that also looks good on a bracelet (Hamilton khaki doesn't) and that isn't Reddit and overpriced (like the sarb017). 600 dollars

>>14637633
> any good 36mm luxury watches out there that are good
You have the entire vintage back catalogue from every major brand to look at. 36mm was the normal watch size not that long ago. If you want modern look at ladies watches. Most of them are actually unisex.

>>14637633
The Rolex explorer 1 looks great. Why are you letting fuckwits dissuade you from a nice watch? Don't be so shallow.

>>14637622
Rereading my post it made less sense than when I was typing it.

Sub/nautilus comment was in reference to

>Imagine all the money you wasted on toys in your childhood would be available at your disposal today.

There is nothing wrong with buying things today is what I mean.

You've got to learn to differentiate the thrill of buying something new with buying something you love.

There are plenty of cheap watches that speak to people no matter their income.

>>14637639
I hate when people wear their watches over their wrist bone like that.
Surely they dont go about their day in extreme discomfort, right? Is it just for the photo and then they move it back, or do they never wear a watch and just take it off after the photo?

I genuinely don't understand.

It's not one of the current models, but I've had an Eco-Drive Promaster on my wrist literally every day for the last six years.

Basically consumerism is bad. Watches over $100 are clearly a luxury in the 21st century. Don't let shekelstein and vapid whores tell you that you need to spend your time acquiring trinkets to have sex and look successful. This applies to Rolex too. There are enough Saudi royals crushing Rolexes under the weight of a thousand whores to keep horology in business without you spending your hard-earned cheddar on them.

Save your money, resist the urge to buy plastic sculptures of anime or video game figures. Use your cash on experiences and activities. When you die, you leave all the plastic shit, watches, cars, everything behind. You are really only borrowing it from the person who will pick it up after you die. Remember that shekelstein wants you to think you enjoy watches, that they make you happy. It's a failing of humans that we seek validation in totems, even today.

>>14637700
I like the >current year model better

>>14637723
I think the sarb033 fulfills that specification but again, I'd like to avoid Seiko if I can.

>>14636809
It's got the same vibe as when the chinese design audiophile equipment. Something just feels cheap and fake.

She's a jewish postergirl for gender dissolution. She's got Epstein money. Of course she has a fucking watch, you retarded fucking fucks. It's like us buying chewing gum.

>>14637792

>>14637719
You should just adjust it properly so it doesn't slide and wear it on the proper spot.

what's wrong with the older Seiko offerings? their current business practices don't invalidate their previous products - if anything it signals a rejection of the direction they are moving in.

>>14637663
Point taken.
>>14637802
Looks gorgeous. 42mm is sadly too big for me (7inch)

>overpaid for a watch on eBay
>arrives with a cracked crystal from Poland even though the seller is listed as from my country
>refuses to send me the returns label and instead asks me to post it back. His address is in my country which was listed is most likely fake.
>ring eBay and they tell me not to post it outside my country
>probably going to end up keeping the watch AND getting a full refund

You silly, silly Polack. Thanks for the free watch schmuck

>>14637639
Sorry if I ramble I am drunk. You can still find a seiko turtle for cheap, usually the Pepsi dial version. Match it with a strapcode bracelet.

A dive watch is the PERFECT outdoors watch. 200/300m COSC rating is an absolute peace of mind. You can stuff your arm all the way up a horse asshole with no problems. You didn't mention your wrist size but I assume you want a sub 40mm otherwise I would say get a elabore 2824-2 squale 1521 which nobody in these threads ever talk about. Sub 40mm dive watches under $1000 are for some bizarre reason very hard to find. I honestly cannot think of a good one I can confidently reccomend to you.

Alpinist.... The new alpinist still have the potential to be good. I have to admit that seiko's actions in the last two or three years have been pretty nasty. All we know is the price and the movement. It could be a completely new design with more money being spent on the product's manufacture. It's immature for you to drop the thought so quickly.

>>14638032
thanks for the tips

It seems that I keep coming back to this citizen field watch. I have other watches but after a few months I just go back to this one.

What I like (or don't hate):
It's solar powered. The watch is less than 40mm in size, but doesnt seem too small because it the face takes up a bulk of the diameter and it doesnt waste space with an extra thick bezel. The case is also quite thin and doesnt sit on the wrist like a tuna can because it doesnt waste case height having a raised hour ring.

Citizen and seiko have a few other automatic and solar powered field watches but most of them are gigantic or have this thick hour marker ring and a thick compass marker ring.

I am now thinking of getting a seiko, sbdc053 since it seems nicely proportioned, or maybe even the sbdc063, or a mini turtle or a mid sized casio protrek, but I suspect after a while the bulk of the watch will make me return to the citizen.

>>14638042

I think that's the same as the one I just ordered. Cool. This one right?

How do these "affordable luxury" watch companies get away with their shitty chrono designs.

The watch dials are always too big for the movement so they have 3 dials crammed in the very centre of the watch and then the rest is empty.

Surely people can tell it just looks odd?

Half the time the hands are too small for the case and the minute ends 2/3 of the way out.

It baffles me

>>14638145
Is having the dials evenly spaced out supposed to be better quality?

>>14638149
>>14638145

remember chink shitters get the lope

>>14638145
They get away with it because the majority of their customers are Facebook-tier normalfags who don't even know what a chronograph is. Odds are that a lot of them never actually use the chrono function and just think having more sub-dials is a sign of higher quality or some shit.

>>14638042
i wonder if there is a correlation with rising rates of obesity and larger and larger watches. i love your citizen but it would look ridiculously small on my fat american wrist

>>14638145
>€7500

>>14638174
Is 7.25 inches the best most based wrist size?

>>14635341
What's the second from the top left?

>>14637633
Seamaster midsize?????

why does /fa/ hate affordable luxury?

do you really think these boring af luxury watches are worth $25,000? Yeah, I thought not.

that's where affordable luxury comes in.

>>14638201
Orient Bambino is one of the most recommended watches on here

>>14638042
great watch, I got this instead of some shitty Seiko solar

>>14638535
what a demure little wrist you've got there bud

>>14638616

>>14638616
I had one of those for a couple days. Solid watch.

>>14638616
Ref. Number?

Ever see a watch as just kinda boring and dated looking, then really warm up to the design? I really disliked 90s Omega Seamasters but something about them has really been appealing to me lately. (The brushed bezel ones and sword hand ones still look like hell, though.) If I didn't already have a newer ceramic one I'd really be considering getting one of these things

>>14638639
BN0150-28E, BN0150-10E (NA, EU). It comes in blue. The blue one was like $80 on Prime day. That was a fucking steal.

>>14638689
Says 43mm but it looks like my twink wrists could pull it off. Does it wear small? Mineral crystal is a bummer though

>>14637346
I only have an amfib so a not familiar with the kommd, but if it's at all like all other hand wound watches I've owned there is a problem I would think with buying, as you mentioned in your previous post, an amfib and just removing the rotor: amfibs have screwed down crowns for water resistance and for protection underwater. Handwound watches usually don't. Vostok crowns feel fiddly (it's part of the design), and I would not want to have to unscrew that shit on the daily just to wind the watch. Kommd should be able to be wound without moving the crown out to any other position. Less chance for fuckery and breakage.
How WR do you need the watch? If you're not swimming with it just get the kommandirskie.

>>14638702
It wears small. The lugs are pretty short for a watch that size. You're not gonna get a sapphire crystal for the price. I got the blue one on Prime Day.

>>14638709
Thanks

Whats the upgrade path from a Seiko SARX 033?

The next step up seems to be something like a Omega Aqua Terra or a Grand Seiko but they are a big jump in price. Anything else that Im not thinking about?

It wears small. Very nice AR coating on the mineral for what it's worth. Great lume too>>14638689

>>14638752

>>14638753

>>14638746
None of those brands offer anything thats slightly dressy

>>14638776

U dumb?

>>14638778
I must be because all you did is recommend 3 brands that are more known for their dive watches.

>>14637495
At the end of the day, your observation may be true, but means nothing. Hollywood is an empty shell. Get your head out of their ass.

>>14638753
Citizen lume is really good. I have one that's six years old >>14637679
And the lume is better than a brand new Seiko.

>>14638616
The one thing I don't like about this watch is the case it comes in. I mean seriously, it's a $100 watch. Knock off the cutesy pop-open SCUBA tank and you could probably save 10% of the purchase price.

>>14637616
Not OP but thank you so much. For fucks sake...the advice in these threads is so skewed and contrarian. /wt/ is honestly a TERRIBLE place to get advice because it’s a try hard obscurity contest. Fuck the lot of you

>>14637639
Do you want it to work or do you want it to impress retards in this thread?

Get a citizen/Swiss army/hamilton and move on with your life wearing a dependable watch. Design doesn’t mean shit if the thing breaks.

I have a few Seiko divers and my dad's Rolex.

Rolex is basically a safe queen and doesn't see the light of day except for special occasions.

I wore the Turtle and SKX009 as daily beaters until I found this little Citizen field watch on amazon for like 50 bucks.

This is the most comfortable little watch I own and is pretty much my beater during the workweek while my divers come out during the weekend.

Only gripe is the shape of the hour and minute hands, but that's probably just a subjective opinion. A lot of people hate on the band it comes with but at least for me it's very comfortable.

If you can find it cheap, go for it. It's a very nice little watch.

>>14638645
never noticed how small that minute hand is for the face

>I know, I'll buy 40 shitters rather than one decent watch

>>14638934
I literally only buy and wear one watch at a time. So far "decent" doesn't equal expensive. Some fancy automatic movement gets fucked up when I slip and hit the deck, or it gets scratched and instantly loses $500 in value. Sub-$700 quartz watches are where it's at.

>>14638042
me too I keep coming back to that watch asweell

it was my second watch and can't seem to get rid of it. changing the strap to a simple black leather band also made me fall in love with it all over again (always had it on a bracelet then tried the OEM canvas and various brown leathers but never vibed with it)

>>14635702
There's a jlc very similar

>>14638976
>mechanical is fragile
Is it the 1920s?

>>14638934
>I know, I’ll save my whole life to get an entry level Rolex and then keep it in a safe to not harm its resale value

wow that kinda sucks being poor, maybe you shouldn't be

>>14639102
If I had the money for high end watches, I wouldn't be buying high end watches, I'd be buying safari rifles. Even if I was rich af I'd always buy a safari rifle instead of a $10k+ watch. Luxury watches are for rappers and Ellen Degenerate, <$1000 shitters are for the common man.

Here's a watch I didn't expect to love as much as I have. I never really get tired of the design and it goes with almost everything. The anti-scratch coating they advertised has actually started taking scuffs from frequent contact with my desk, but it lasted for over half a year. Can't complain for the price, would have paid more for an ETA but it's been alright. Seriously thinking about picking up their Summiteer release.

>>14638042
It's a great watch, I've had mine over 15 years.

This is the Summiteer coming out soon. I like the 3D dial, not crazy about the triangle-3-6-9 setup derived from the Explorer, but it's not a dealbreaker. I like the blue dial a lot.

Enough about Traska, what do you guys think about Balticus Stardust - any experience with them? My wrist is just over 7" but I honestly might get the 37mm small seconds quartz model they market as a lady's watch. It's closer to the size of a DJ, much thinner, and I like the small seconds.

>>14638419
>good enough for the RAF
>not good enough for a meme-posting anon

wew

wearing on the inside of the wrist is ok right ?

>>14639158
I'll bet all their watches are chink parts at those prices so I don't know why they put Made in Poland on the dials. Made in China is a lot more respectable than Made in Poland.

speaking of polish watches, Gerlach had some interesting designs, but I agree with the other anon, save the Made in Poland for the caseback

I hated the Seamaster line, then saw the new ceramic. Now I'm going to pick one in a few months. I'm even starting to like the old ceramic.

>>14639195

No they are not, Stowa and Sinn are avation brands. Stown is one of the 5 original flieger makers. Damasko is shit so let's not. You know shit stick with your sarb its suits you.

>>14639202
stowa is dog shit compared to damasko

Witch one?

>>14639211
Zenith by a mile

>>14639214
I have a Speedy already tho, 2 chronos okay?

>>14639211
seamaster for realistic wear

>>14639211
BB58 is what I would go for.

>>14639219
Yeah bro. It used to be dress/diver/chrono but chronos are accepted as dress watches now so you can have chrono/diver/chrono

>>14639221
>>14639226
>>14639227

That's what I was thinking, bb58 no ceramic at £2.6k tho, i do really like the el primero but I don't have a diver. El primero next year :) then

>>14639231
I prefer the matte look of an aluminum bezel to be honest. The polished bevel, angled brushing on the top of the lugs & riveted bracelet are pretty nice too.

If you have a shit job you have to be better at saving and invest it in stocks etc. Then spend the profit on luxury goods if you want.
