Are cheap aliexpress watches worth it if I only want them as a fashion accesory? No one in this third world country would care if I wear a cheap one so no social stigma.

What do I do if my watch band is too long? What is "too long" anyway? The leather strap when tightened has its tongue halfway up the outside of my wrist. It can still be held by a stay however.

Just realized the Speedmaster I bought from Jomashop has a misaligned hand in the hours subdial. Fug

Did you ever regret selling a watch? I bought an auto for daily wear and find the thickness/bulk, weight, the lack of precision and low power reserve annoying. Im strongly considering selling it (for half the price, sadly) and going back to quartz, or a thinner auto because quartz watches tend to have boring dials. The more I live with it, the more annoying I find it, except for the clean dial and gud lume.
>muh feelz
I keep an automatic that was gifted to me for the weekends.

Thoughts?

>>14819131
Just go for it anon. Black bays are pretty distinct from modern subs to be honest.

No muh onions memes, no Swiss fangirling, I just want some objective answers and opinions on Grand Seiko spring drive watches.
I love watches, I love automatic movements, and I want to buy myself a graduation present that will last for decades and maybe be something I can pass on. I am not looking to flex on people, so I don't care much for Rolex's ugly designs. I think what Seiko has done with their spring drive movements is really cool.

What are your non-meme opinions on them?

>>14819295
The non-meme opinion of everyone outside of the reddit circlejerk is that Seiko is Seiko, and Rolex is Rolex.

>>14819295
The hand/index finishing on GS watches are some of the best you'll see anywhere. I just wish they would make a 39mm snow frake that isn't some white gold or platinum limited edition.

>>14819295
The people you pass it on to will sell it, don't buy a watch just to pass on

>>14819299

Grand Seiko >> Rolex

>>14818112
This is a perfect watch.

>>14819299
So they're all vain people who think $$$=better? Got it. Good thing I literally don't give a shit what normies have to say

>>14819315
You sound defensive

>>14819315
They actually don't. They think Rolex is better, because it's Rolex. You can buy a $50k Seiko and a $10k Rolex will still be better.

>>14819345
Aesthetics? In this day and age, your phone suffices as a timekeeper so the only real purpose of a watch is that you like the way it looks (except for some niche purposes like the military where pulling out a phone would be too cumbersome and unreliable).

Just get a seamaster, normies know omega, they have more class than Rolex (the poeple normally do), you can't get a sports Rolex new anyway.

Tudor is still quite new on the scene, they may as well been a dead brand. I'm wondering if this is going to be like panerai and in 3 to 4 years from now no one will want anything to do with them. At some point these heritage models will get played out.

I'd just stick to the more iconic designs, you are future proof then. That said the BB58 and gmt look good.

Just get a used £1500ish GS quarts, you get all the finishing, 9f movement, 50 years service interval, don't need to send it to Japan for service, UK service centre can do most don't know about USA.

>>14820338
> quarts
basic 9F can be serviced in the US yes, but actually get a AQ4020-54Y. Same-tier external finishing, twice as accurate at 5 seconds per year, washi paper dial, titanium case and bracelet, eco drive, serviceable in the US, and Seiko has backpedalled from the 50 year service interval anyways. Used below $1500.

>>14820338
The 50 years thing was just the theoretical life of the movement if you never opened it up or serviced it if I recall correctly, not the service interval.

>>14820334
You never saw the seamaster in person or wore it for any length of time clearly.

£2000 seamsater
£8-10000+ sub

Before the seamaster was a good alternative to a sub but you would have to be brain dead to buy one now (your not getting one at list) bluesy is a better buy now at least when the bubble pops it will hold its vaule better.

Also a poorfag uni student. I need a good gym watch that can take a hit. Which G-Shock do you recommend? They all look the same to me.

>>14820616
I'm not familiar with the Orient 3star models (though I prefer their styles overall them to the Seiko 5s desu), but here's some recommendable Seiko 5s:
snxs77
snk381

These two because they both offer at a glance instant legibility, the latter more than the former. I'm autistic about this sort of thing and if I have to re-angle my wrist even slightly after having just raised it to check the time all because the reflections off the dial/polished hands/indices obscures the time, I get frustrated.
Both models have large white areas (that are luminous) over a darker dial. Many Seiko 5s have little lume pips and rely on polished hands and indices. I've gotten too use to military style field watches and flieger types to be able to stand that anymore.

You can buy an aftermarket double domed sapphire crystal for the snk381 from crystaltimes if you want, the snxs77 doesn't have that upgrade option.
Bracelets are shit but not intolerable and you can always change it. Both are 37mm so if that's too small for you look elsewhere.

>>14820676

>sprung dreve
hello integrated circuit full of lead-free solder mandated by the supreme cuckage that is the EU because "muh nanny state decrees kep me saf" that will last 10-15 years max before it literally fucks itself to death because lead-free solder is shit whereas the pure mechanical watch could keep going (with caveats).

I'm exaggerating. But honestly spring drive combines in my eyes not the best of both but the flaws of both kinds of movements. If you're going to get a mechanical watch, get a pure mechanical watch. It's no longer a thing of mechanical beauty if its accuracy comes not purely from cogs and springs and weights moving together in harmony but instead relies at the end of the day on electricity, magnets and a quartz crystal for regulation. If that's what you're into fine, whatever. I'd be more inclined to cut out the relatively delicate and inaccurate hybrid mechanical middle man and go full quartz.

And if quartz at all, might as well go solar quartz like the Citizen Chronomaster eco-drives that have better movements than GS quartz (not only a perpetual calendar, but one that changes at midnight on the dot rather than the grand seiko's lazy slide to the next date after like 20mins). Also, instead of battery changes every 3 years it's a capacitor change MAYBE after 15-20 years if you've been negligent in keeping it charged with light (hard in winter in the northern hemisphere).

>>14820338
>muh 50yr service interval
Debunked and all traces of it that might have been on Seiko websites that lead to the misunderstanding have been scrubbed. All that remains is the clueless on forums parroting old sales pitches.
Still, citizen chronomasters can only be bought from, and warranty and service done in, Japan. Ideally you wouldn't have to touch that shit for 20 years (or more?) and it should, under ideal conditions, provide better accuracy against the Seiko 9F's under ideal conditions. Nothing's ever ideal though.

Anyobody have some gud black fiday sale deals?

>>14820679
Do you want a watch that looks good or just works? Just works, w800 from amazon for $12. Looks good? Take your pick of the Gshocks but i prefer the new ga2100

Read about watches for at least a year, go to dealers, boutiques and ad's and try stuff on and then start to decide what you want. Don't ask for advice on here, this is possibly the worst place on the internet to ask that.

It's not a great looking watch but I got this solar seiko for $120, regularly $250.

>>14821291
>>14821296
Maybe I should've framed my question better. How do I know what watch fits my style? Unlike fashion, where I know what fits my personality, I have no idea what watches would fit with my style.

Just like in fashion, there must be different "looks" with watches, similarly to how a blazer and a hoodie sends a different message.

For instance, do GMT watches convey a different look from Chronographic watches? I wouldn't want to buy something that doesn't fit my personality or style. Problem is I have no idea what watches do.

This is some advanced /fa/ggotry, so i'm mostly out. Buy one watch as a sports/general usage watch and one a dress watch

You dont really need a dedicated dress watch unless your job/position requires it. Most people wear a suit once or twice a year.

>>14821369

Ok, sire. This is why you need to read up and do research before you buy. Find out for yourself what you like and what suits your style. There is not one answer for that. /fa/ certainly can't/shouldn't decide for you. Good luck, man.

>>14821353
A "dress watch" is really just "a watch" at the end of the day.
All watches in the past were "dress watches". This obsessive fixation with sporty watches is tiresome, but as long as the hype fad is blowing that way then at least every other style of watch remains available.
There's no reason a traditional "dress watch" like a patek 5196, a vacheron historiques ultrafine 1955, a lange saxonia or even a cartier tank can't be worn everyday.
Unless of course your everyday dress consists solely of tracksuits or graphic t-shirts, cargo shorts and whatever nike/adidas any given rapper is shilling at any given moment.

>You don't really need a dedicated diving watch not even if you're a professional diver. Most people never dive ever and if they do they use a dive computer

>>14820109
how long has it bean for you vostoknon?

I put an MN strap on my scuba dude & brushed the case. Looks pretty good imho.

Okay /fa/ggots, it's been years since I bought a watch but now I need a watch for formal and casual business outfits, a dress watch that I can also wear in more casual settings.
I'm set on buying an automatic watch and it must be from a reputable german, swiss or japanese company or at least have a corresponding movement.
My budget is 500 yuros and I am from Germany, so that makes things a little more complicated and I also have small wrists at 6-6.5", to complicate things further.
So the watch should be somewhere between 36 and 40,5 mm width, not exceed 12 mm height and 44 mm lug to lug.

I've already done some research and found some interesting options:
>Seiko SARB033
Perfect at 38 mm, sapphire, good movement.
Import only around 450eur + 19% VAT if customs catch it, so approximately 540eur, which is over budget. If that's really the best option, I may consider it regardless.
>Seiko SRPB43J1
Really love the style, the wonderful dial, but only 4R movement and hardlex, so idk.. price is good at about 300-350 tho.
>Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80
Very nice watch overall, dimensions are larger than SARB033, but considering VAT the Le Locle is cheaper at around 450.
>Orient Star Classic
At 400 or not available, style is okay but somethings missing for me.
>Zeppelin/Junkers, etc.
Cheap and some decent options but can I trust the movement?

So that's that. Any feedback to the options above and alternatives welcome, thanks.

Dressy style / watches are normally, smaller watches 36 to 38mm on leather with a simple dial (no date, chrono, gmt). Can bet in gold or steel, don't buy plated gold it will wear, soild or nothing. Some will wear a ceramic driver as a dress watch and sub, seamaster, superocean and so on.

Sports / everyday watches are normally on braclets and in steel or titanium, 39-42mm I would go much more than 42mm. Speedmasters / Seamasters / Planet Oceans, Black Bays, Rolex Sport models.

Then you have everyday / sport watches than can be dressed up as well, 36-41mm, simple dials like dress watches but on bracelets or leather. A lot of Grand Seiko models, Aqua Terras, Rolex Explores (not 2), Sinn 556i, IWC MK models, Stowa, Nomos.

Don't rush it, plan you purchases or you will just sell them in a year. Buy your watches used from trusted dealers / family jewellers, haggle with me for the best price.

My recommendation

Dress watch, JLC Reverso or master control, Zenith Elite, Nomos Orion, vintage omega constellation or seamaster.

Sports watch, Speedmaster (hand winding with hesalite) Ceramic Seamaster, Black Bay 58 or GMT, Zenith El Primero 1969 reissue.

Modern Rolex a little out of your price range, Op39, older explore 36 (114270), vintage datejusts are all good aswell.

All are passionate collectors with varying tastes, some of them are also dealers so never take anything they say as a truth. Most of it is way over most people's budget, just see it as inspiration and a way to gather knowledge and learn about horological history. Also very important, vintage/second hand market is a minefield, so be very careful and do your research before you buy. The biggest auctionhouses in the world have sold shitty made up watches in the past.

>>14822026
It is lazy design, simple as.

My parents bought me a Seiko V172-0AJ0 for my high school graduation seven years ago. I've never worn it. Should I just throw it in the garbage?

>>14822075
At least sell it if you don't want it.

>>14822044

He asked for some recommendations, I gave him some. So I'm mean to give a spiritual answers, search and you will find your way my son bullshit.

Those are the best watches in that price range, I may have missed a few of the top of my head but it would be illresponabe of me to not point him in a direction of quality watches, that are on in good taste as we are talking about $5000 here, not some shit seiko. Whatever find your way bro, buy a 5k Tag Heuer at retail! Welcome to /wt/

>>14821414
WTF Is that your photo
hot

>>14822059
You really think ALS left the traces of the 4 and 8 in because they were too lazy to not print them? They left them in becuase the watch wouldn't look as good without them. Learn to evaluate things on an individual basis.
Pic related required PP to custom shape the applied markers to fit around the subdial, but I guess they were just being lazy

>>14822095
>custom shape
In comparison to the rest which they bought from china? And why is the second numeral of 10 and 11 smaller?
I think ALS were too lazy to think of a dial layout where the subdials are not just an afterthought instead of integral part of the design.

>>14822095
Dude that's retarded design.

>>14822113
> ALS
> lazy
fucking kek. you're a moron.

>>14822116
yes, yes, keep defending a watch from a brand you will never own

cut indices good
thought-out design bad

>>14822140
Why did leaf blade hands go out of fashion

i was thinking about getting a watch, the problem is i have very thin wrists, should i just forget it?

>>14822223
Get vintage. There are plenty of modern options that are smaller too.

>>14822140
I like th lange better personally.

>>14822140
I own several Lange and I agree. You are a moron.

>>14822227
any recommendations around 500€ and less?

>>14822241
Seamaster or constellation is a good choice, just do some research on whichever specific model you want to make sure you're not getting a franken or whatever.

>>14822113
>custom shape
The point I'm making is that you cant make a blanket statement that it's lazy design. Sometimes it's a very intentional design choice. If >>14822140 is your idea of non-lazy design then let's talk about that 4:30 off colour date window.

Here you go anon, no cut indexes in sight! The epitome of design

any 2019 releases you like? preferably in affordable range
I like pic related a lot, even though some may find it boring. 40mm with sapphire, costs under $800, comes also with black or white dial and also in quartz version for half the price

>>14818499
Lmao that watch is a shitter I wanted one then I tried it on. Was too big and has atrocious bracelet fitment and atrocious finishing.

>>14819131
Dial sucks bit it's a killer deal and the right size

>>14819165
>this is what average 4chan autist thinks the human conversations look like
wew

>>14818503
Are the hands purposely different? I don't know much bout speed masters but it looks like silver sword hands = time hours minutes and running seconds. White hands are chrono

>>14822521
Yes, that's exactly the reason.

>>14822537
Why would you want to change it then? You'd just have a mismatched hour and minute hand for no reason ? Surely that would look more odd

>>14822562
It's to make the chrono more distinguishable from the regular running time. That's it really.

>>14818499
That sucks anon. Doesnt jomashop have some sort of warranty? I think they offered one when I bought a semenmaster from them a while back (never had to use it though)

New strap boys! Do you like it?

>>14822460
That watch looks nice. Do you gonna cop?

>>14822478
But the First Omega In Space doesn't come with a bracelet

>>14822594
They do, but they'll just repair this watch, not like I'll get a new one. Eventually I plan on having the non-matching running seconds subdial hand replaced by a watchmaker I trust, so I'll see if he can just realign it then

>>14821760
nice invicta homage

How much abuse can a modern Hamilton khaki manual take? We talking bump on a rail or storming no man's land against ze Germans?

Are you a physician? Otherwise wearing a pulse meter makes you look like a complete faggot

vostoks are ugl-

>>14820308

>>14820308
Both those watches should be around 1k.
Fuck swatch

>>14822678
probably not, it's little too formal compared to other brands watches in similar style, even with black dial

>>14818112

>>14823023
>made in USA

>>14822706
might still be worth reaching out to them, but its up to you anon. I personally like the watch (although I would personally have gotten it on a bracelet). Keep up updated.

>>14822755
its clearly a neymar homage you fucking dunce. do you know anything about horrorology?

>>14823106
that thing actually doesn't have bad specs but why the fucking name and font

>+/- 1 second per day
>extremely comfortable thanks to infinitely moldable mesh bracelet
>reasonable size despite being 42mm due to short lug to lug
>looks nice without being attention seeking
>ultra-reliable tudor/rolex movement, with cheap maintenance costs as a result
>sapphire and ceramic
>unique; not a speedmaster, tudor or rolex etc.
>finishing that takes a fat shit on anything at the price point

What's not to like about this fucking shitter?

What the fuck do you even know about finishing you fucking monkey

PLASTIC FUCKING BRAKES

IMAGINE BUYING A MODERN SPEEDKEK

>>14822253
The date window is an eye sore, and unnecessary, my point was that you can make a chrono without the subdials cutting into the numerals. Or a small seconds cutting into the 6. And what does the "very intentional design choice" serve, exactly?
Regarding your pic, how is that NOT a lazy design, again? It doesnt even serve its function.

>>14823116
Too tall

Just got this for $30

>>14823116
Fake

>>14822092

It is, thank you. Still at the watchmaker, though. Starting to miss it badly.

>>14823415
I like it.

>>14821414

>>14823106
This one doesn't come with a bracelet, but you can order one from Omega that's a replacement for some older watch. Hollow end links and crap-tastic clasp, but I've got one ordered. I think it looks better than the modern Speedy Pro bracelets

dead general

>>14821414
The bracelet looks kinda weird where it joins on the lugs, but other than that this is a 10/10

Saw this longines while lurking ebay. Never seen it before and unlike most longines models it actually has a nicely designed dial. Should I cop? 1200GBP

>>14821809
Congrats on your Citizen anon, since it's an eco-drive you don't have to do anything for maintenance, just make sure she gets enough sun. In any case you might be good for a lifetime, or at least until you decide to buy a new watch.

>>14822075
>my parents bought me a gift
>should i just throw it in the garbage
How about you throw yourself in the garbage you failure

>>14823978
no shit, this thread belongs on /g/. always did.

>>14822088

Yeah well, it's the advice I got from collectors. Read read read. Buy what you love. Form your own opinion. Do you really like what you want to buy or is it just that you've been bombarded with it through media? Concerning vintage, don't chase reference numbers, instead look for great examples. Will you still wear it five, ten, twenty years from now? Do you care about it holding value? Stuff like that is worth considering.

>>14824272
>Yeah well, it's the advice I got from collectors. Read read read. Buy what you love. Form your own opinion.
Sure, the only problem is that this only applies to $10k+ watches.

>>14818112

>>14824294
wow you bought two vintage subs
So unique, you're the only person on r/watches to do that.

Choosing a watch that i will be gifted with, price around 180-250$. 22yo, Im for something classic looking. found:
JACQUES LEMANS LONDON/Liverpool
ROAMER Vanguard/VANGUARD SLIMLINE

Can you help me with choice and quality? I got only Citizen Aviator in collection
Any other recommendations? some are on Sale here so their price is between budget atm.

>>14824355
Thank you?

The Citizen you have is at least a tier above all of those, so why would you want any of them?

>>14824462
I got black/silver one and i've been asked what would i want for graduating, i thought it would be nice to have another more classical watch, brown/brighter colors...
I dont have knowledge so im asking for help, thats what i found by browsing. Ty

I miss tudorfag desu

>>14824505
Why don't you just get a nice looking brown leather strap for the Citizen now, and save up for a better watch later? It's a watch which will look good on pretty much any strap.

>>14824567
Yeah, reading your opinions here and the watches you post there is a clear difference and im just not satisfied with these cheaper ones. Good idea, thank you.

Bringing out the boomer giga shitter for Thanksgiving dinner with friends.

>>14823665
I do like the style of the bracelet but hollow end links make me wince (especially since I guarantee they're overcharging for that bracelet). Looks nice though, post new pics once you get the hands swapped out and get s new bracelet

>>14824294
imagine owning more than one rolex lol
just sell the one on the left and spend the money on some nice shoes for your friend

Polished to an extremely high standard.

>>14823231
>My point was that you can make a chrono without the subdials cutting into the numerals
Yes, you can. Well done. It doesn't make the watch automatically good or well designed though, just as the converse doesn't make it automatically bad or lazy.
>And what does the "very intentional design choice" serve, exactly?
Looking good and being legible?
>Regarding your pic, how is that NOT a lazy design, again?
Are you talking about the shitty mvmt I posted? Either you have poor reading comprehension or are actually retarded.

vostok komandirskie and a nice leather strap

find a ONE (1) SINGLE flaw
You can't

>The 103 is a total classic... most people love them. The only common complaint is that they are very thick (which is true).
>The 103 acrylic is thick, but wears thinner than the 103 St Sa due to the solid caseback. For my 7" wrist it's a very comfortable wear (and I actually enjoy small watches, even a little Casio F-91w).
>Also, the Valjoux-equipped Sinn chronographs are deadly accurate, especially once you find the proper resting position for your watch when you take it off at night. Mine gains one to two seconds a week, and has sometimes gone a whole month without gaining or losing a second (depending on temperature).

Can someone recommend a thinner 103 equivalent with a display caseback? I'm really worried about the thickness, I see this all the time, the UFO effect and shit.

Just bought a Casio GW 5000 1JF, will I be made fun of for wearing it as a daily?
>inb4 digital babby watch

>>14824739
Probably the worst Vostok case shape. Would be really nice if it used one of the smaller cases. I did read somewhere you can just swap the case but its not worth the effort.

>>14824836
Of course not

Beautiful

>>14824272
Recommend it's the key word "these may be watches you might like" you don't have to buy them. Clearly buy what you like. Yes I'm not going to spend 5k on something I don't like, are you mad? You're like a watch white knight or something, making drama out of nothing. Value retention is important, only seiko fags and alike don't care.

>>14824849
That would be the 420.
65 case is great and overall the watch is the closet you can get to a modern GMT master 1 without being a shitty hoemaji

Hey swisscucks, does babushka make your watches?
Yeah, I didn't think so.

I got the hookup an AP Royal Oak 15400. We made it, bois

>>14825192
Actually not the biggest fan of it and will probably keep it in the box, but the deal is too good to pass up.

Has anyone purchased their Nato straps from natostrapco? They're doing a 40% off sale for Cyber Monday and have some really affordable straps, many of which are stitched like this one

>>14825072
Take that back fuckface 420 is based. Worst is 060

>>14824776
It's not bad looking.

If you're going to spend the money on a watch with flyback valjoux, why not spend a little more and get something that will hold value?

The massive gap between the spring bars and the case in that pic

>>14825277

it lets you use thiccer straps

>>14825280
That looks good. The band on that other pic is offensive.

>>14825286
its just a regular bracelet you autist

>>14825289
I'm not sure if it's because the watch is too big for his wrist, but you can see his wrist between the case and the bar. That insane.

Did you forget your dose today or something?

>>14825303
I guess I'm expecting too much precision from a cheap watch. I think the band on your pics looks good. The gap on the other one wreaks of imprecision. Maybe I'm overvaluing precision and craftsmanship.

>>14825075
yeah it shows

>>14825309
>Maybe I'm overvaluing precision and craftsmanship
What the fuck are you on about you retarded nigger?
The bracelet has straight endlinks, no shit it's not flush against the case, how the fuck do you expect it to articulate?
Are you really this fucking retarded or are you trying to rile me up??

I guess expect it to have been designed better or something. That looks even cheaper than it actually is.
