Here’s my latest shitter. It’s alright, first world time, and it’s a pretty fun complication. But this dial is pretty busy. Paid $550 for it, from Orient.

I have a great sports watch, thinking of making this my great dress watch

is /wt/ grand seiko pilled?

>>14663076
>that half marker at 1

>>14663086
that's not a dress watch, but i do like GS

Anybody else wear cheap watches on purpose, rather than out of necessity? I could probably post a pic with $4K worth of stuff in it in this room but I wear a $200 watch.

Good watch. Highly recommended

>>14663110
I bought the blue one on sale on Prime Day, but I send it back because I didn't like the look on my wrist. The lugs are tiny. Watches like the one in the OP that have a larger case are more my think.

>>14663086
GS has some stunner dress watches, this one is a dog though.

>>14663121
Examples needed

>>14663127
I’d go for one of their quartz models. Like pic related. The blue snowflake is also really nice.

>>14663115
20mm lugs are much more comfortable to me. 22 is too big without a taper

>>14663144
I mean overall lug size, not the strap width. Watches that look like round pods with little lugs sticking are less appealing to me than watches with visible cases like Seiko turtles.

Just got this for my Abitur, who else rich parents here? Ha ha ha.

I'd say this is the perfect time to get an MR-G. It's one of those decisions you'll never regret.

What is a decent vintage reissue dive watch that's somewhat affordable (sub $1500)? Must not be a bastardized oversized version of the original. No Seiko Turtles. Actually interesting hands would be a major bonus, I want that 70s look. (pic related)

Basically a new Seiko\Rolex.

>>14663404
Dude, nobody likes your collection of Heimdallr hockey pucks. You can chill the fuck out about calling things rebranded when your favorite watch company does nothing but rip off other companies designs and then have them made in China.

>>14663409
I didn't know there was plastic on the back glass for months

>>14663567
I dont have favorite watch companies, I like good watches.
That shit's a ripoff when you can get it for less than 150 from a variety of chink shops.
why is this little puckboi making you so mad?

>>14663573
The watch doesn't make me mad (though I do think it's pretty ugly, but I really don't care if you like to wear an ugly watch), you make me mad by nonstop spamming your watch while flexing it like anyone should give a shit about your $150 homage watches. It's sort of like when people go fucking nuts flexing Invicta. It's one thing if you were to respond to relevant fucking posts talking about it but every fucking watch thread for the last two weeks has had at least 10 of your posts telling every fucking person ever how much you love that ugly piece of junk.

You can like you watch but stop being so fucking annoying about it. It looks like you're a paid shill for them rather than someone who just likes their watches.

>>14663597

You're complaining about a guy starting a watch brand (with a completely different movement, a different dial, a different bezel and lume setup) in an effort to replace a watch that was discontinued with a company that makes literally Chinese knockoffs. There's also one post about it rather than your tendency to literally respond to every fucking post with another advertisement for your chinese garbage.

Wood watches never turn out well. The only one I've ever seen that wasn't a gigantic hunk of shit was a Holzkern I saw at a shop in Austria, and it was about 200€ more than it was worth. My fiance got me an original grain last year for my birthday and while I will wear it every once in a while (because I do like the way it looks desu) it's been not even a year and the thing is already starting to fall apart.

Those are two completely different watches. The one you posted has the NH35 (no hand winding or hacking) and no day complication on top of not having a ceramic and lumed bezel, a different case diameter and a flat sapphire crystal (instead of the double domed sapphire the islander comes with). His watch isn't a "rebrand" of the your homage watch. If anything it's a completely separate homage watch but with a different movement and significant upgrades over the 007.

>>14663272

Old Rolex for sure.

First for Heimdallr are fashion shitters with no horological significance

>>14663731
Not him but how would fashion shitter even make sense in this context. Especially since the specs would be better then the original. If it was quartz instead of a seiko movement in it then okay but it borders on being a better version to go for because it's still a seiko movement in there. Seiko fans are insane, bad QC and usually worse specs then most of their competition for the $. But because they caused the quartz crisis, had numerous achievements, and became a low end mall brand, its worth it? Its gonna be crazy seeing you psychos buy the new alpinist in January for 700

>>14663847
all mechanical movements are obsolete and therefore worn only for fashion, so it's a fashion shitter

>>14663982
Alright, I mixed the 35 with the 25. It still doesn't matter because the Islander has a fucking NH36 not an NH35.

The Sharkey's case diameter is 45 where as the Islander is 43. The Sharkey's bezel is painted steel, where as the Islanders is ceramic. The Sharkey's bezel only has lume on the 12 position where as every index on the Islander's bezel is lumed. The hands are completely different on the Islander vs the Sharkey. They aren't the same fucking watch no matter how much you say they are. The crystal is different (like you admitted).

They are similar because they are both homages to the same original SKX007, but they aren't even the same fucking case diameter of movement. The only thing that's fairly close is the dial, which in all honesty neither of these companies make themselves but rather they use a fucking template which their parts supplier/logistics consultant probably has already preset just waiting to print on whatever logo/writing they send them digitally.

>>14664090
the sharkeys isn't 45 diameter. There's several threads on WUS about it.
Changing the bezel insert and dial does not make it a different watch and it doesn't justify charging more than double for it.

It's basically a cheap piece of shit that's maybe slightly better than a bottom of the barrel seiko

Redpill me on the Bulova Accutron Spaceview. There are a bunch of them on ebay from $200-$1500. What's the difference between the cheap and expensive? Are the cheap ones frankens with new parts?

>>14664601
Answered your own question there, hoss.
Cheap Accutrons are either frankenjobs cobbled together from dubious components, or in really shitty unserviced condition (very few people have the specific tools and know-how to service the proprietary movement).

>>14662939

>>14662915
Got my Precista today. It's a deceptively small watch--it looks like a huge chunky diver but it's wears very small. Makes me look like my tiny 6.5" wrists are twice their size.

Not sure I'm really sold on the bead blasted finish though. Anybody here want to buy it before I change my mind?

>>14664692
How much?

>>14664571
>dog shit movement found in $40 chink watches
Keeps good time and is reliable, what does it matter what other watches it's in? It's also cheap to service or replace, I don't see how that's a bad thing.
>shit finishing
Not true, the brushing is good and the polish is clean as well.
>no customer support
And? You buy with paypal and if they chink you, you get your money back. What the fuck do I need customer support for?
>company will likely go out of business in a couple of years
Again, why does that matter to this particular watch that I own? Is it gonna stop running when they close their store?
>>14664571
>serious doubts if it was actually ever pressure tested or if they just put 200m because seiko does
I took 2 showers with it with no problem.
It has proper gaskets everywhere including the crown and crystal.
Also diving is for retards that hate their vasculature.
I don't understand why you think maximizing price/performance is a bad thing. Is this what it's like to be brainwashed by marketing?

>>14664700
$300 shipped in the US. It's a year old from the original owner, with all the original paperwork. Don't think it was worn. They're out of production for the time being.

seiko/casio = flaming pedophiles

>>14664771
chinkshit = mindless poorfags

>>14664601
Cheap ones are mostly unserviced and in unknown condition. Servicing is expensive and not widely available.

Franken doesn't really make sense in the context of a spaceview since 99% of them had the dials removed after production but before being sold, so unless you are dead set on getting one of the few "true" spaceviews they are all cobbled together.

The 56X cal series are excellent movements, but it really depends on both the cosmetic condition of the watch and the condition of the movement. Which if it's pic related isn't the best but the BOD bracelet is nice to have.

You've done your research, you've come to your conclusions. The end.
I'll only add that, if you need a watch, a cheapo digital casio does the job.
I'm a literal 30yr old boomer.
I can't leave the house without a watch. I feel fucking off all day because of it. It feels the same as if I'd forgotten my sunglasses or car keys; sure not the end of the world there's alternatives but less convenient and not something I'm used to.

I always found it odd that younger kids just never had a watch. Parents never saw the need to give them one. It boggles my noggles.

Concerning the luxury end that you rationality won't allow you to buy because of the accuracy issue, you have to think of them as jewelry; they're not a necessary tool, they're a nice accouterment.
You can go full forest hermit or buddhist monk and eschew "nice things". But there's nothing wrong with enjoying shit every so often.
>YOLO# lmao
and all that shit.
You wouldn't be on this board if you didn't want some nice things, otherwise you'd just go around wearing a potato sack with a hemp rope belt.

Consider Rolex: you know why their logo is a coronet? Because the founder thought up the idea that a man should have
>a crown for every achievement
Got that promotion? Get a new watch. And so on and so forth.
It's a treat. A trinket. That's all. Accuracy to an anal degree is secondary.
My advice is just save your money though;
If you've come this far without that shit you can go even further. Stay away from watch shit online, as from there temptation ever springs.
GTFO NOW

>I feel fucking off all day because of it.
I see alot of watch wearers get this feel. cant relate

>the accuracy issue, you have to think of them as jewelry; they're not a necessary tool, they're a nice accouterment.
if they are high end swiss autos like +2/-2 I wouldnt worry too much about the time, just lower end autos ..even then quartz is better.
and yeah they are half jewlery half function and have more weight/better feel and look nicer for sure...

It's more autistic to not buy a high end watch because you want quartz level accuracy.

In the last year or so I have met three separate people all wearing a black Rolex Submariner. All three of them have attempted to convince me their watches are real, and cost a small fortune. All three have been of varying quality, but all have been obvious fakes. I honestly don't know if any of these three people know they are fakes, or have just been ripped off. The one I sore yesterday was the worst. In it's defence it had an automatic movement, but not a very good one. It sort of swept, but not very well. The window was dull and lightly scratched, the bezel wasn't ceramic, and it's click movement was horrible. There was almost no lume, it weighed about half of what it should have, and the clasp looked like it may have come from the local LOOKY LOOKY man. The owner of this horrible timepiece handed it to me for examination, and I politely straightened up the bezel and handed it back without comment. My policy is not to make any remark unless someone asks me advice on authenticity. I am aware there are some very good copies out there, buy as yet all the ones I have seen have been pretty awful.

My question is, have you been in this position, and how do you handle it ????

>>14665378
Why are people showing you their (fake) watches?

>>14665258
I have 7.25” wrists and I still wear mine occasionally. It’s supposed to look small. If that bugs you then cop a G-Shock since they’re good tool watch/beaters anyway. Just make sure you don’t get one of those obnoxious ones they make for guys who yell at their girlfriends in public.

One must understand that the top 0.1% of the worlds population that are in the top echelon of society is a whopping 6 million people. Surely that’s enough customers to buy up all the Patek, AP, RM, Rolex in the world? Factor in middle managers and the customer base blows out to 600 million people who can easily afford an Omega or Grand Seiko.

Yea, he does sound like a little bish. Diamond encrusted gold watches are tacky, but the luxury market was always filled with overpriced gaudy garbage.

>>14665337
Whats the point of wearing a watch if you dont want to be precise? Just wear a Defakto, then. I came to dislike automatics for daily wear, as either the spring dies slowly down, or the piece loses time. Having to unscrew and screw down the crown several times a week also makes my anus tingle that I will wear down the threading sooner or later. Then there is the weight and carry comfort (lmao dyel skellington). Automatics/mechanical are fine if worn for an occasion, or literally all the time. A quartz wins for practical purposes everytime. Also, getting an auto without an exhibition caseback is missing the whole point. The largest problem I see in the quartz market, that practically noone makes a really really good looking one while keeping reasonable prices.

>>14665910
its kinda cool to see how many skx homages have been showing up. shows how much of an impact the model had these past couple of years.

>>14665952
Even a low-tier mechanical watch is still +/-5spd. Realistically that more than enough accuracy for 99.9% of people who use them to tell the time. "Oh I'm a few seconds early or late for my meeting. Big deal."

Also since the fact most people wear an expensive mechanical watch simply as jewellery or as a status symbol or to show off or as something you do once you become successful. Timekeeping rarely factors into it.

So yes the autists in this thread caring about quartz over mechanical because of accuracy are kind of missing the point.

>>14665960
Indeed. If I were going to actually buy an skx homage, it would be the Deep Blue over the heimdallr without question

>>14665108
yeah those bullet indices look like shit. Sorry I actually like some of the heimdallr watches but this isn't one of them.

>>14664721
brother!

>>14665758
Yes, according to WUS. I dont own one though, I already have the deep blue SKX from a couple years back.
I would get the 62mas, its a very unique design and the sharkey one is very well built.
I am considering buying another tuna though, they really are a bargin for price/watch and I've wanted these fuckers for years.
calling it quits on watches after that though probably, unless it's straps and bracelets etc.
>>14665910
BASED I fucking love my blue pepsi one. Very unique lugs that hug your wrist.
If you're gonna get stuff from DB, keep in mind that during basically every american holiday their shit is 40-50% off.
>>14665965
I figured most would say otherwise since the DB is a good deal bigger than the sharkey.
>>14665974

I like it. The all black version is not very legible but looks cool as fuck.

when the fuck is strapcode gonna make a bracelet for the kamasu

>>14662927
nice. i was really torn between getting that one or pic related, wound up choosing the latter. hamilton is based af

>>14666243
If only hamilton would get rid of those internal numerals.

I can understand it on a "my first watch" but if you are over 6 and need help adding 12 because you don't intrinsically know 24 times, you should probably have a carer who follows you around.

What do you guys think of this watch? I have a BB58 and still sometimes wish I’d got this as it’s more slender and maybe better looking

>>14666484

>>14666484
Some blurry Omega.

>>14663045
Entirely low end... not even a tag, longines or sinn, let alone low/near luxury like omega/tudor. Why would you build this wholesale, bargain-bin shrine to mediocrity?

>>14663300
What's your grail? Helluva leap from first watch (and a casio none the less) to a grail, which is typically understood to be something so rare/expensive it takes a great amount of effort to overcome said obstacle and acquire it.

>>14666531
Every board does this. Everything is a "grail" the metaphor has lost all meaning.

>>14666268
They include 24 hour time because it was a military specification at one point. Most of their watches are a nod to that era (i.e. when they were an actual company and not a mindless host for the Swatch parasite)

>>14666474
>japcrap

you fucked up mate

>>14665166
The marketing department are smart enough to know that producing new accutrons is pretty much going to devalue the old ones and nobody will want either anymore. Same reason rolex has incredible demand to supply ratio... it's not because they hate money, it's because flooding the market would be a short term cash grab but they would devalue their brand massively. Now that tudor has gotten a foothold after their 2010s rebranding they're starting to slowly but surely throttle their supply too, I mean people are almost clamouring for their Pepsi GMT, the harrods black bay etc and many of their watches are now on wait list, while you can go out and buy a speedy from an AD today.

>>14666484

Seagull

Thoughts on this piece of shit?

>>14666627
Wow, what a piece of shit.

Today is colorful digishitter day.

>>14666552
If you're saying that you don't like German watches you're ignoring a really large part of the industry. Laco/Stowa/Damasko/etc all make really good quality stuff in that ~1000€ range that I'd put against pretty much anything Swiss in that price bracket.

>>14666627
This is the first hamilton that I've seen that doesn't look like garbage. I'm actually ok with this thing.

Hmmm a mixed response here

German engineers:

Soviets:
>make everything just good enough and make it easy to mass produce and churn out unpainted tanks straight to the front

Guderian:
>4th Panzer Division was attacked by Russian tanks to the south of Mzensk and went through some bad hours. This was the first occasion on which the vast superiority of the Russian T34 to our tanks became plainly apparent. The division suffered grievous casualties.

my bad bro wrong thread

What's a good watch I can wear while surfing that isn't a Nixon or a Gshock because I hate both of those brands.

I got a waterproof Timex and it's the shittiest goddamn shitter I ever bought. None of the complications work despite being a quartz and I'm pretty sure getting it wet actually fried the battery somehow so now it just randomly turns on and off.

>>14666775
There's probably little choice - you could wear any dive watch but continuously hitting it with seawater will damage it, so I'd get something like a Casio Duro and just replace it if it gets wrecked by the water.

>>14666775
Vostok Amphibia for $70 so you won't care if you lose it

>>14666793
It's so obvious. I never considered buying a dive watch before because I hate their style.

>>14666796
This. I wore a Seamaster in Barcelona, but a Soviet Amphibia in Turkroachistan.

>>14663045
This guy is doing it right, no lie. I admire that he buys and appreciates watches he likes. Instead of being some archieluxury, margin worshipping fag. like (You)

Opinions?

>>14666872
Come back when your balls have dropped.

>>14662915

>>14666528
I really dont like the gap of watches between what I have and Rolex. Maybe if sinn wasnt german I'd get one, or if tudor did something that excited me.

>>14666961
Why are you against the idea of German watches? There's a lot of really well made German watches out there, especially in the more sporty stuff that you tend to like.

How do you prove to people that your watch that's cheaper than Rolex is better than Rolex when anything anyone cares about is price?

>>14666562
that really doesn't sound like a significant obstacle in the age of CAD.

>>14666987
There's no general answer to this the method needs to be tailor made for the type of person.

>>14666972
The most support I'm willing to go with germany is adidas, but as far as having something "made in germany" on my wrist I really dont want.

>>14667019
I mean, no matter what somebody is into, there's always an establishment resting on their laurels, overcharging for what they offer. And there's always an underdog delivering a competitive product for more reasonable prices. The challenge is finding the analogy they can relate to.

>>14666987
> prove to people ... better than Rolex
But the point of a Rolex to normies is to show other normies you can afford a Rolex. They don't care about it being 'better'. It would be hard argument to win anyway because Rolex are damn good watches.

>>14667049
>And there's always an underdog delivering a competitive product for more reasonable prices.
What would this even be compared to Rolex though?

>>14667072
They are damn good watches but is a sub really worth double, triple or quadruple the competition? Or is it all artificial price inflation?

>>14667081
That's subjective depending on what the persuasion target values. For example, depeneding on their personality they might find a spring drive or even a quartz to be more attractive than rolex products.

>>14666987
I only managed to redpill my old lady about CHINA MADE and her being frugal as all hell helped. I dont really care about impressing others.

>>14667082
They are worth it if people are willing to pay for them. Basic economics.

Rolex make a watch that will last you a lifetime and if you ever need to sell it then you will not take a big loss, if any. The cheaper alternatives can't say the same.

>>14667121
Any watch can last a lifetime. Don't be disingenuous and retarded. You're implying that only rolex watches are capable of being serviced.

I've got watches from the 70's that have probably never been serviced but still run.

>>14667126
I wasn't implying that at all. I was just stating that Rolex are extremely reliable and resilient and people know that. They are a safe purchase.

>>14667082
> is it all artificial price inflation?
The Rolex GMT when it first came out in the 1950's cost about 3 months the average US salary. It still is.

>>14667136
A lot of watches are extremely reliable and resilient but they don't cost 10k.
Funnily enough the watches I mentioned from the 70's were actually more expensive than submariners at the time.

Are you fucking retarded? You linked a video that disproved your own claims. At the time he was earning $100 a month. The rolex cost him $120. So it did not cost him 3 month pay more like 5 weeks you stupid cunt.

It's irrelevant. If you are a stupid enough cunt to claim that a gmt cost 3 months SALARY in the 1950's that's your problem.
What a fucking retard.

>>14667082
It’s worth MSRP. The only advantage over competitors is the 3135 movement which is a workhorse that’s been around 30+ years and was designed by watchmakers for watchmakers.

>>14667211
There is no such thing as a good looking green watch.

>>14667220
Then don’t buy one.

>>14667220
I considered making a post about the irony of a maxicase hulkposting pleb attempting to argue the finer points of rolex ownership but I couldn't be bothered.

NEW THREAD WHEN?

>>14667225
You mean supercase? There is no such thing as a maxi case. There is a maxi dial. Pretty ironic you’re going to school me about the finer points when you know jack shit.

>>14667234
no I'm pretty sure I meant maxicase

>>14667239
Show me on Rolex’s website where it says maxi case because you basically proved you 1 of 10.8M retards.

>>14667254
Why would I do that when you're obviously in a miniscule minority? You might as well be a member of the sky is green society.

A crusade against the mentally disabled sounds like a good idea. We should start by sterilizing you.

Maybe if you keep at it for 50 years you'll succeed in changing "maxi case" to "supercase" but don't hold hold your breath retard.
