I would never wear a brand called OMEGA.
I don't give a shit that astronauts wore it.

>>14809127
Friendly reminder for new posters joining our general, Seiko watches are overpriced shitters with terrible QC and are shilled by people who don't know any better. The brand has been cashing in on their name and recognition for the past decade, using it as an excuse for poor quality and QC, and hasn't released a watch worth buying at the price in forever.

If you are in doubt as to what watch to purchase, THE OMEGA SPEEDMASTER PROFESSIONAL MAN ON THE MOTHERFUCKING MOON is a solid choice.

To the anon from the other thread about his grandfather pocket watch, yes you could make it into a wrist watch, it would probably cost quite a lot of money, and depending on the size (pocket watches used to be up to 5cm in diameter or sth.) it could look quite ridiculous.

>water resistance technology
kek

Rubber seals degrade over time, though it depends on other conditions as well. The humidity, sweat and or water from other sources (tapwater, lakes etc) will damage it and rubber seals slowly turn solid over time. The F91 is weird in that it has no rubber seals and just has a well screwed in steel caseback (more like a backplate).

>Can a diver's watch or G-Shock from year 2000 still be perfectly fine when it comes to water resistance if it hasn't been in salt water?
Hard to say, and if they from that yearspan they were likely worn and used so it's best to change the seals and gaskets.

Watches are a scam.

>>14810749
I think you meant
"Non-Japanese watches are a scam"

>>14810749
Not a scam but they are used as currency by the triads and yakuza.

>>14810749
You're on a fashion board. Literally every item of clothing is a scam on some level.

>>14810688
debateable, but nato is flimsy as hell, a bit uncomfy and looks shit most of the time while raising the watch from your wrist a few mm. the best bet literally is a silicone strap which is probably the most comfy and durable material for a watch strap there is.

>>14810573
it's not an aesthetically pleasing watch. it's a tool watch, it's not a dress watch or a watch that resembles or goes along well with jewelry. it's function over form. it works it has a lot of features and its merit lies within its practicality. the mechanical watch hype is based on not needing a battery and being interested in horology and luxury items that you can leave behind for your kids/grandkids.

>>14810407
don't unless your a chink.

>>14810755
Why would you believe that?

>>14810768
The mechanical watch doesn’t need battery but is less durable and requires more maintenance than solar powered watch. There is no mechanical watch in the world which would last longer than a g-shock or other quartz (even after thousands of dollars for service) . The planned obsolescence of most modern electronics shouldn’t give you impression that the electronic watches are not reliable. I agree that this g-shock can’t be worn on all occasions but in 99% of the cases is fine as everyday watch. For some more formal events something more elegant is required, agree, but even so $500-$1000 quartz watch will offer you case quality and finishing on the same level as several thousand dollars mechanical watch. Most people who are into mechanical watches have no idea how they work, for them it’s a black box no less than a quartz. There is no “engineering” involved in the automatic movement - not on the level of real engineering at least. Engineering is all about solving problems and accurate mobile timekeeping is a problem solved long ago (with quartz). Let’s be honest - 99% of the people who buy expensive mechanical watch do it because they can flex with the price they paid. People who buy cheap mechanical watches do it because they can’t afford the expensive one but want to flex as well. I can understand why people who really know how a mechanical watch works and can even work on them buy automatics, they are really “in the hobby”. But the mass consumer who is clueless of what’s inside the watch and still buys mechanical watch and dare to tell me that quartz/electronic watches are somehow inferior is cringe inducing. Mechanical watches are scam no less than the diamond scam.

>men
>jewelry

/wt/ is just another thread in a long string of communities on this site that cater to the “bugmen” (don’t like that term but idk what else to call it) who’s personalities consist of what media they consume and what products they buy. Purchasing watches is a not a skill, it’s not a hobby, it’s not something that can be translated into enriching experiences. It goes along well with the other “4chan hobbies” such as:

mechanical keyboards
craft beer
hair product
expensive headphones
fountain pens
marvel movies
video games

They’re not real hobbies. They’re just ways to spend money.

”what’s the most amount of money I can spend that will make me superior to the plebs who haven’t discovered this niche community like I did (20 min ago)???”

I mean, flipping watches is a hobby. Building watches is a hobby. Repairing watches is definitely a hobby. But buying them is not. It’s just an activity that we all like. We’re all just slightly more advanced than the dipshit who browses this thread and determines that he needs a Grand Seiko. The advanced version, of this dipshit, by the way, is the richer dipshit who buys the empirically boring IWC shitter.

These threads is just a crowd-sourced machine that allows people to verify that they have the right opinions, the right tastes. It’s not a hobby. It’s barely even an interest. It’s just a way for us to spend money. But spend money with the approval of other people who have been suckered into spending money to impress other (anonymous) suckers. No one will ever recognize your Stowa Marine. No one you meet in real life will ever know what a Sinn is. The only people who will are other anons.

The only watch that will catch anyone’s eye is a Patek, and you didn’t need to waste hours and hours on this thread to figure that out.

>>14810791
Because it's true.

The first one is an actual tourbillon though dumbass, the second is just an open heart.

>>14810987
Because it's the most basic tourbillion it's possible to produce. In fact it's not really a tourbillion at all, just something that is meant to look like one.

Does anyone have a clue what this meter might be showing? Can't find a manual for this thing anywhere online so far.

>>14810850

The F91 is 3ATM, unless you're referring to whatever you have.

>>14811507
I like the BB58 but wasn't 100% on an aluminium bezel insert. Like everything else about it but sometimes it looks a bit dull vs other shinyer divers.

The AT was in the running until I realised it isn't that easy to read in some lighting which is the most important thing to me. I wasn't in love with the dial but liked the case shape and movement, polished links take it or leave it as well.

I'd probably pick up a used pelagos, ceramic matte bezel, ajustable clasp and I don't have any titanium watches over the AT and maybe BB58.

I ended up with a older ceramic seamaster, wanted a gloss dial, something more shiny, all my other watches have and are matte.

You get that there "patina" if you're into that. Suppose you could sit down for a few moments on a Sunday and polish it, and the crystals are apparently not very expensive to replace either.

Great beater if you don't care about horology. EcoDrive is hassle free and they offer a lot of utility. I wore an EcoDrive perpetual calendar for several years and really liked it. It has a secondary time zone and alarm as well. Great travel watch and was only a couple hundred. They are not very aesthetically pleasing, but great value.

>Hamilton
If you want an automatic watch, this is the best department store brand. The khaki field and pilot watches are pretty solid for the price.

>Seiko
Also good automatic watch if you want a diver. Some of them are fugly, but most of the prospex are nice in terms of function and aesthetic. There's also a lot of aftermarket support in terms of straps/bracelets/bezel inserts.

If you want something digital it's hard to beat this brand.

When should I and when shouldnt I wear a simple gold watch?

>>14814863
It would be great if /wt/ had a basic info guide picture for different brands like the ones that /k/ used to make, but I doubt anyone could be trusted to make one without it devolving into the usual shitfest that passes for discussion on /wt/

>>14815001
It has a poorfag guide in the OP.

>>14814922
I've heard good things about tisell on forums and the miyota 9015 has a reputation of being a reliable movement.

>>14814926
Don't wear in a place you're likely to get robbed. Wear whenever you want to.

>>14813782
Maybe a rally strap. Does anyone here mod watches? Like dial swaps or hand swaps?

Just a quick question, if someone asks you the time do you check your watch or your phone?
Ive noticed that alot of people tend to check on their phones even tho they wear watches regularly.

>>14815131
I check my watch

>>14815131
Im not and homosexual I check watch

>>14810803
It just goes to show how the /wt/ thread has been debased since it's transfer from /g/.
This thread used to be frequented by watch technicians and those that repaired watches as a avocation and serious hobby.
Those people have been driven off by shit posters, trolls, and random assholes that have no knowledge of horology.
It's become worse than leddit.

>>14810899
worn and used Seiko's for 40+ years. Never a problem or concern.

>>14813782
I hate NATO straps.
That watch would look nice with a black croc strap, matching the black face, and contrasting with the silver-ish case.
A metal bracelet could work, if you could find one that matches the case.

>>14810899
Dunno. I have a seiko SGEH49 that I’ve been wearing for a year now and it’s been fine. Just getting tired of the look. Would it be worth switching to an automatic?

>>14810407

what's a good low budget gold bracelet white dial watch?

>>14815253
Define low budget

>>14815266
say up to $150?

>>14813989
I do mine in the bank, most have a private area, most banks are happy if you just say to them.

>>14814926
Insurances...... wear it all the time

>>14815271
Seiko SGEH72

>>14815306
Word of warning, these type seikos are very boring irl. Try and shoot for something with a bit more character if you're getting gold

>>14815381
Anon asked for a good low budget gold watch.
If you want something cheap that isn't boring then buy an Invicta. Nothing more exciting than a big chunk of metal shit on your wrist that falls apart in a month.

>>14813782
any brown leather strap (not croc) usually works with this one and a easy polish on the bezel makes it look better.

It’s finally here!

>>14815306
Thanks

>>14815381
I'm on a low budget and in the shittier patt of Eastern Europe, I can barely find any seikos that I like

Are these as good as Rolex Subs what are the movements like? Seems like a cheaper way of getting a vintage Sub.

>>14815768

It used to be a cheaper way. They're on par or even more expensive now. Movement is fine. If it was good enough for the military you're probably good.

What kind of movement do fossil automatics have? Would I do better by something with a Miyota 9015?

>>14809457
Very high iq

>>14815842
Take the 9015 any day. The best you’ll get from fossil is a Miyota 80XX which just isn’t as good

>>14812417

This new Rado looks great! Shame it only comes in 35 and 42mm...

>>14816149
Green looks great too. 37-38mm would be perfect.

>>14809187
SD is fuckin good. Daytonas never turn me on, these vintage with plastic crystal looks funky and cool but crazy price nowdays.

>>14814274
you bought or inherited

>>14816149
It reminds me of late 80s/90s hong kong cinema for some reason. There is something Chinese feeling from it, in a good way.

>>14816149
That machines bezel is great. Not really seen anything like that in modern watches.

Need a recommendation for a soft comfy light brown leather strap without much stitching that would look good on pic related

>>14813803
this is just a Nomos Tangente replica

>>14816395
>Nomos tangente is an original design
Really though, I like the Nomos more but I just can’t afford it. Tisell at least let’s me know if I like the style on my wrist while still looking great

>>14816409
You know those hands aren't blued steel right? It's just anodized. Fucking poorfag don't waste your money on shitters. Save up for la creme de la creme.

>>14816465
I’d rather finish my engineering degree. It looks nice, has sapphire, and has a Miyota 9015 movement, so I see no reason not to get it just to try the look while I’m in school

>>14816409
the numerals and the lug shape make it an obvious replica

>>14816482
>>14816465
So? What’s wrong with a style being accessible at a lower price? Still looks good

>>14816482
btw there is nothing wrong with replicas as long as you know they're replicas >>14812434

>>14816490
I know. I’d like to get a Nomos once I’m done Uni. For now though this will look just as great with my suit once >>14816386 is solved

>>14816487
>style
Exactly, there are plenty of brands which do homages of iconic watches, I much prefer those

replicas are just lame

>>14816499
>homages
>replicas
Same thing tho. Name an affordable “homage” to the Nomos

>>14816386
the suede straps from cheapestnatostraps are soft and allow a bit of a stretch, however the second holding loop will stretch and fall off within a week. they also have quick-release lugs, they will also fuck you on the eur-usd conversion, even though the company is in scandinavia

>>14816519
They look great! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

>>14816499
This is the model recommended in the poorfag guide and on r/watches as a Nomos alternative

>>14816499
Tisell owns the Bauhaus style just as much as nomos does

>>14816047
Would be nice without "the sauce" written on it.

Is there a comprehensive list of all models made by specific brands somewhere? I'm specifically interested in looking at Casio's model and design evolution (and maybe getting an older one), and would love to have everything they put out in a nice chronological list. Wikipedia only gives a vague list of series and Casio's own site is a mess, and neither has years listed.

>>14816465
The hands are blued. If you can't still painted vs blued just by looking you need to fuck off back to r/watches

is this the only mechanical GMT that's less than 500$?

>>14815470
fuck
loved my snk809
wish i didn't lend it to my brother who immediately lost it

is meranom still the best place to pick up vostoks?

oh no did I fuck up

>>14816487
On /fa/ everything is shit except for Rolex, and they're overpriced/for fags that want to buy taste.

>>14816864
That's not a GMT though is it? I believe it has a 24 hour hand slaved to the 12 hour hand, a GMT hand should be independently adjustable.

What kind of strap should I put on a 38mm automatic with a window in back? A leather NATO or a two piece? I’ve never really bought a strap before

>>14817064
Two piece if you wanna peek in that window

>>14816861
I completely agree. Now fuck off.

>>14816999
anyone

is it as ugly as I think now that I've bought it

>>14816999
>>14817112
I’m personally not a fan, but that might just be because I’m not the kind of guy to wear gold, or at least that much of it. If you are though, it looks nice and dressy

>>14817112
For what you paid it's no big deal if you aren't completely in love with it.
It's decent enough for an everyday watch

>>14816519
Do you know any that aren’t going to fall apart as easily?

>>14816811
Digitalwatchlibary is great but you'd have to manually put the references into chronological order, but the year manufactured are there

>>14816999
I quite like it but my gripe is the proportions all look off. Hopefully you chose the correct diameter - wrist circumference ratio

>>14817276
Its a 42mm. I have fairly small wrists but the lugs arent meeting the sides of my wrists. Its a good looking watch but I didnt notice it has a faint faint sparkle on the face. It looks kind of unique, I dont hate it. It was only $120.

>>14817205

You'll need to spend a little money for something good and nice. A few options that are kinda entry level;

Molequin
Vintage_style_straps (ig acc)
Thestraptailor (ig acc)

I have £2500 for a watch, I have a diver and chronograph, any recommendations?

post your 'dirskies

>>14816005
damn right, you are definitely a fellow hawker patron

>>14816944
i eventually flipped it but it was a comfy watch, felt boring at times so i liked to rotate between the bracelet/leather regularly. these things are still sold everywhere anon, the cream dial version on brown leather would be nice tho.

Best vintage aftermarket bracelet makers? Looking at Bambi and wondering what else there is.

>>14816047
Yikes

>>14816047
Officially certified what? Shitter?

>>14815470
How do you polish the bezel?

>>14817699
I laughed way too hard at this.

>>14817105
Cope harder faggot. Imagine not being able to tell blue fucking paint from blued steel.

>>14817752
didn't have any dremel tools so just used fine grain sandpaper, steel polish and taped off the crystal/lugs/case. polished by hand not perfect by it changes the look a bit.

>>14810803
we live in a society

>>14810803
>They’re not real hobbies. They’re just ways to spend money.
So?

Also, non watch people don't even know what a Patek is. You were looking for Rolex.
