Fuck faggoty nato straps.

The field of replicas and the people who partake in that hobby is legitimately insane.

Bought this yesterday, am I a redditor yet? Will go great with my Speedmaster

Threadly reminder that your steel sports watch will make you look like a bitch in 2020.

>>14913250
What?

>>14912908

Was a bit shocked at the anon that put legit parts in his fake. Don't really understand it, he must want the real thing somewhere or he'd have just bought a tiger concept or Tissell or whatever. I found it super weird.

>>14912908
>>14913350
I thought the exchange was very interesting. There's certainly a "ship of Theseus" type of a thing at play. If you bring your genuine Rolex to repair and they replace some components with ones made in China (because manufacturing migrated over in the past 20-30 years), is it less genuine for that single part? What if you don't know about it?

>>14913389
Rolex no longer considers it a genuine Rolex.

Plot twist: it's a genuine Rolex part made to Rolex's order. In China.

>>14912908
The part that really gets me are the faggots actually encouraging selling fakes or frankens as if they were real. Pure lowlife scummy shit.

Is the SWAT version an all around inferior product to the standard Khaki Field?

>>14913474
I have none, and wasn't alleging such. But one day they will, just to make a tad more profit, and then a pre-China Rolex is gonna end up with some, possibly at an authorized repairer.

Sorta like Apple's digital doodads in fact.

Replica posters are back.
Better call the watch police and clear that cancer.

>>14912855
Nah. Good in the pool

>>14913350
>muh £250 genuine rolex dial

why not just buy a good rep dial?

>>14913523
They bought the Swiss movement factory they've been buying from for ~$1 billion in 2004. It makes little sense that they'd move manufacture or buy from asia, when they seemingly take steps to be completely independent to have control over their products.

>>14913523
>>14913658
I think he's right. Not only for cost, but also for pride. As hard as it may be to believe, there are companies that value pride as much as profit and Rolex seems like one of those.

>>14913658
>>14913736
Very well. I should've picked some brand other than Rolex for my example. It's not my point, anyway; I just find the idea of 1:1 clones ("replicas") fascinating. Why would some party with the wherewithal to do a passable replica of a good mechanical watch, right down to the movement's components and finishing, and then clone the trademarks and design as well? Instead of launching their own? Is there truly so much money in biting on (say) Rolex, over having their own, non-replica, clientele?

>>14913744
Yeah I mean why get a 1000000% return when you can get 10%. Silly Chinks.

>>14913744
None of these fakes are 1:1 replicas. The only people who say they are are trying to fool themselves into believing they didn't buy a piece of shit masquerading as something well made.

>>14913744
Because people (I am one of them) pay for brands, period. And Rolex is one of the strongest brandnames in the world. There could be a company that makes a Mercedes as good as they do for a better price and I'd still prefer my Mercedes. It's why I never bought a Lexus basically.

>>14913517
what makes this SWAT?

>>14913787
The "date" window is a dog kill count.

>>14913758
>>14913777
It sounds like replica Rolices are for people wanting desperately to appear wealthy beyond reason. And not for telling time so much, or getting wet. But then we've got the guy in the previous thread boasting about "if you can prove it's fake you can have it", with a photo of a display back; where does that come from? Is it just a photo of the real thing snarfed from somewhere? Surely Stinky Chinky's finest can be told from measurable properties of the movement?
>>14913759
My thoughts exactly. If a fake Rolex costs 400€, well, there's nice quartz shitters around for that price. Radio setting and whatnot, max geekery.

>>14913815
oR yOu cOuLd bUy A VoStOk

>>14913815
The fakes are getting incredibly good, so good that jewellers and watchmakers who have held literally thousands of genuine watches have a hard time seeing it. But in the end it's still a fake and the only one you are fooling is yourself.

Which Vintage Hamilton should I get? Also, any good deal out there?

>>14913861
I'd find one of those micro-rotor thin-o-matics personally.

>>14913841
Yeah ok. Coupla decades back there used to be Nokla cellphones that were externally a 1:1 match to the original, right down to individual pixel values of the user interface. Some would even take genuine batteries, or compatible ones anyway. However, the moment you'd drop one, you'd find out that Nokla doesn't use nintendium-standard plastic. With a few days' use you'd discover the battery life was shit as well. The bubble was very thin with those things, but the Noklas would make calls and do SMS and keep contacts just fine (except the $2 bins that were priced low because they were outright defective).

If the replica fools the experienced watchmaker, with the back off and the movement taken apart, and analysed in one of those doodads that analyzes the movement's health by listening to its tick-tock, is that not a 0.999:1 replica right down to actual operation? In the sense that if it weren't branded fake, it'd be a "homage" or "clone". And colour me surprised if any replica is at that level for reals -- experienced watchmakers seem anal as all hell.

Dad gifted me this watch. It's nothing special so I was thinking of using it as a daily. I hate the strap though, what kind of strap/ color would you guys recommend?

Is there a reason not to buy an expensive knockoff Rolex as a poorfag?

Bought a khaki Zulu for my Kamasu last week. Was beginning to second guess it but this looks nice. Surprised you’re not using a bond Nato

>Hamilton makes another cool watch.
>It's a 45mm dinner plate.

What do watch brands do this holy shit.

This is going to be a retarded question but do orient divers come with spring bars?

>>14913987
It's a shame really. Same thing with the murph watch being 42mm, should've been <40mm.

I hate having 7” wrists :(

>>14913990
wasn't that the watch literally worn by a woman in the movie?

The one in the movie was some custom piece, not sure if it was 42mm. The piece available to buy is though. But yes it was a gift to the daughter from Cooper.

>>14913998
>not just using your favourite watch as a daily
I’d go with khaki for a NATO/Zulu. That or stick with the black leather

>>14913998
>>14914002
Black and olive stripes on a NATO would also be good, but not one with red on it too

>>14913881
If I ever send my watch to RSC and there are already fake parts in it and they service it anyway because they're done so well that the guys over there don't notice is the day I'll start believing in replicas. Maybe I'll have someone do that some day, just to see what happens.

Vacheron Constantin.

BIG or MEME?

>>14913992
You can still cut them.

I'm trying to liquidate a watch and buy another, would I get better value trying to trade my current watch for the one I want or sell my watch separately?

>>14914019
If I had the money I would get a JLC over a VC. The patrimony is ok, the overseas is ok, really everything they do is ok but none of it screams exceptional. Patek and audemars are 2 of the three holy trinity I submit that JLC is the third, not VC.

>>14913992
Why is 7” so bad? I have a 7.25” wrist and my 42mm looks just fine on me, I can’t imagine a quarter inch is that much worse.

>>14914042
>AP better than VC

are you an arabian oil lord?

>>14914042
More like Audemars Piglet lmao

>>14914042
Vacheron may not be that hot, mostly because they don't have a trendy sports watch.
But what have AP more than the royal oak really?

>>14914090
I feel like Vacheron isn't too hot because their style director (pic) refuses to take risks.

He literally says, "I start by looking at the archives to find something." instead of, "I broke the mold and came up with something new and revolutionary."

I mean, the Patrimony is a 80 year old design, the Traditionalle is a 70 year old design, and their Historiques are anywhere from 80-100 year old designs.

I mean... they all look good, but not GREAT. Where's the Rolex pizzazz? Or the AP glamour? It ain't there.

>>14912789
Get a bezel you fucking heathen.

>>14913999
>not sure if it was 42mm
It was. They distinctly cared more about being authentic to the insignificant details of a fictional movie than to make an actual good watch.

>>14914151
To be fair you're going to get autists who wanted it smaller & autists who want it to be exactly like it was in the movie. Can't please everybody.

real or fake?

>>14914106
It's for the non-flashy rich fuckers and old money.

definitely fake.

Rate my watch?

>>14914200
Why?

>>14914212
The dumbfucks in China who faked the dial wrote "Oyster-Prince" with a hyphen. That second hand (dot on end), though, was only on models with "Oysterprince" or just "Oyster" on the dail.

Also the bezel looks like it was aged by placing it in a tumbler. Natural aging doesn't look like that.

Just buy a new one, anon. The new ones aren't that expensive.

>>14914223
Here's the right dail/second hand combination from Tudor's website.

Also, notice how even on Tudor's website the black resin bezel is chipped, whereas the one you posted is just "dented" in places (again, likely from a tumbler).

>>14914223
Would be nice if tudor would make a black bay with the pencil hour/minute hands & lollipop seconds. There was pic related but it used the old case size and they only made one of them.

>>14914157
Fake. You can’t wrap a bracelet around a steering wheel

>>14914236
You can if you take out one of the pins holding the clasp to the rest of the bracelet.

Nice watch but it’s a little plain for me

>>14913861
I find myself wary of vintage watches of a certain vintage (pre 50's for swiss, dunno for US) because the movements don't have shock resistance as it was invented later.

>>14914151
>It was. They distinctly cared more about being authentic to the insignificant details of a fictional movie than to make an actual good watch.
swatch fucked up by not releasing the watch within months of the film, rather than several years
i guess it does take that long to have specs sent to china and several batches made that are finally without flaws and fuckups

Thoughts on Archie Luxury?

>>14914621
I like him, even though his videos are shitty video and sound quality, but the jist of what he's saying (shitting on shitty microbrands I can agree with), also his older videos were informative to me when I first started watching him

>>14914625
I agree completely, his videos really saved me from a shitty situation in which I spent £350 on a shitty fashion watch. I also like the pace of his videos, sometimes he can be quite funny.

>>14914621
Watch, don't watch, but for goodness sakes set to 2x speed otherwise the incessant pauses to reiterate the same thing over and over and over gets old.

In essence his message is sound, as it's directed to people who don't have vast piles of disposable income: if you want a luxury doodad that tells the time, stick to one of the two brands that retain some value and that you can liquidate relatively easily with less loss because you're not the sultan of brunei, you're just middle class at best.

>>14914689
>stick to one of the two brands that retain some value and that you can liquidate relatively easily with less loss
So Rolex, Patek Phillipe, and maybe Omega Speedmaster?

>>14914323
>>14914613
*blocks ur path*

>>14914697
Pretty much
Though Rolex is having a bit of a time atm it's still a good buy if you can get one

>>14914697
Anything else in the watch world that costs any substantial amount of money apart from a handful of models from a few brands won't be able to be cashed in when needed.
That is archie's primary concern and at the end of the day his arguement.
Someone who doesn't have piles of dough that they can throw around willy nilly on frivolous things and yet wants at least one frivolous item is not best served buying for example: a zenith, iwc, tag, cartier, panerai, hermes, chopard, parmigiani, piaget, chronoswiss, blancpain, glashutte original, nomos, etc., etc. the list goes fucking on.
This is demonstrable fact.

>>14914697
>Omega Speedmaster
I find it peculiar how well the used basic models (Moonwatch and Sapphire Sandwich) keep their value. Just a few hundred less than retail for watches up to 5 years old, it's almost obscene since there's not really a problem with supply and demand - even in the nearby city of 40 000 you can pick up either of them and walk out of the store with it on the same day.

the concept of a "patina" on watches is dumb as fuck

>>14913013
I can't understand why people buy these.
It's like a worse-looking, fake vintage Rolex.

>>14914828
Those new rolex subs with the maxi case look like shit in person, at least the tudor only looks cheap.

>>14914235
This is what the BB36/32 should have been imo, makes sense if you're dropping the dive bezel to also drop the big hour hand. Would make the line much more unique instead of just "what if black bay but small"
They should also do something with the all triangle dial at some point

>>14914828
1/3 the price, still nice, proper wristlet size, looks good to me

If you are wealthy, VC is the only viable option together with exceptional micro brands.

patek, AP and rolex are all nigger brands that only rich hood rats wear. If you are EURO scum like me you know only middle eastern subhmans wear these brands.

tldr: are you white? buy VC

>>14914245
This. There are so many small differences.
>>14914832
Really thinking about getting rid of the sub to get a 36mm tudor sub. There is even a handwound one with a nice slim case that they made for a short time.

>>14914463
I like the hands, its a great watch for some (semi)formal occasions.

>>14914832
>>14914844
Tbh the majority of the catalogue is hideous and they should just drop most of their lines in favour of reissues of their cooler vintage pieces. Might be phoning it in a bit but at least we wouldn't be stuck with the "glamour".
The chrono can stay, and the advisor just needs redesigned, but the rest of picrel can be ditched in favour of a single big rose reissue

>>14914855
tudor watches are made to look retarded on purpose in order to avoid cannibalizing rolex sales

>>14914860
They could avoid stepping on rolex's toes by making their own designs instead of intentionally ugly dj ripoffs

>>14914855
Ok so after some thought I've come up with a list of changes to tudor's catalogue I'd like to see
>All BBs now 39mm, keep pelagos as their larger size diver
>Blue BB is seperated off and offered with 90s style dial like >>14914832
>BB36/32 now pencil hands
>Black shield gone
>Ranger dropped in favour of north flag
>All "dress watches" dropped and replaced by vintage reissues under the prince name

Please hire me rolex

>>14914282
It have a three week power reserve and you probably have to send it to VC to have it reset.

As long as the lugs don't hang way out over the sides of your wrist, I'd say it's fine. Panerai are big watches made to look big, and will look that way on anyone who doesn't have titan wrists. Just look at Stallone here, even he has to do the fist flare to make the watch look like it's not sitting there like a gigantic tumor and making his wrist its bitch.
Just embrace the fact that it's not gonna fit like any other watch, and then get a Sea-Dweller, a Tuna, a Ploprof, a Suunto Vyper Novo and a JLC Atmos on a bespoke white gold band to complete the look.

Any reputable swiss brands that have good watches under 1-1.2k? Would it be reasonable to expect a good swiss mechanical movement at that price? I've seen a lot of used TAG Heuers in my price range. Mostly Series 2000 and Link. Also some Midos. Any better options?

>>14915636
No, entry level is 4k for a Speedy, nothing cheaper is worth shit and Speedy is already shit in the first place, just save up for a Rolex.

>>14915570

>>14915636
I don't hear much (good or bad) about Tissot, and you could get some of their offerings with their Powermatic 80 calibre (ETA based) for around that price. I've only ever had a Tissot T-Race quartz, and FWiW I was really happy with it, and it held up brilliantly. Can't help you with their mechanical watches, though I wouldn't be averse to it if my work watch ever karks it and I need a new one.

>>14915644
Too bad you are a baling kike manlet :)

>>14915640

>>14915636
Zodiac has a lot of cool 70s vintage style models and they go for around $1k

>>14915636
Down there it's all ETA, get a Tissot or Hamilton because it's all the same shit

>>14915640
What makes them shit? I'm aware that decent watches aren't cheap, but if entry level means 4k then I'm gonna stick to mid-rande quartz or something.
>>14915647
There are some Tissots I like, but I was wondering if there are options from more "prestigious" or rarer brands for maybe a little more (or for the same price if bought used) since this is a watch I want to wear almost daily but also keep for as long as possible.
Basically, I'd like a starter watch that I can still appreciate even if I do end up getting high end ones later on.
Sounds stupid now that I typed it out though, so I might just get a Tissot or a good quartz if I don't find a watch that fits my retarded wishes.

If you're that poor just use your smartphone, what exactly are you trying to get out of a watch in the first place?

Everything "Swiss" below Omega is literally mall shitter tier that's specifically designed for you to be unhappy with it so that you go and buy a real watch eventually. Have you ever seen anyone say "hey man, nice Tissot" to anyone? Those are all superfluous brands that don't do anything except collect dumb people's money.

>>14915787

Why /fa/ never mentions about Breguet?

>>14915790

>>14915892
You prove my point. Not everyone wants to dress ostentatiously, so luxury watches can't be the only option

>>14915790

I've been complimented on various cheap watches, including a 1000 yen Casio knock off. If you have to spend an insane amount of money on a rolex to get anyone to notice or like you, it's probably because everyone thinks you're a complete cunt.

>>14915892
Has it ever occured to you I might buy things for myself because I like them? Not for anyone else's approval

Didn't know about nomos. Looks nice, thanks. The main reason I specified swiss is because of the heritage of the companies, especially the part of it that's related to (motor)sports. I like those HAQs and was strongly considering them, but wasn't too sure that spending that much on a Quartz wasn't retarded.
>>14915848
Didn't know that. Unfortunately I'm not into square watches.
>>14915790
>If you're that poor just use your smartphone, what exactly are you trying to get out of a watch in the first place?
I don't want to have to use my phone everytime I want to look at the time. At the moment I use a cheap, shit Jacques Lemans watch that does the job at a very basic level, but I'd appreciate something more accurate. I'd also like to feel good about the watch I'm wearing (unfortunately I'm one of those people who create "bonds" with objects they own, and I can't do that with this watch). It's an internal thing, I don't give a shit if anyone notices that I own something nice, I'd actually rather keep it to myself most of the time. Obviously I'd feel great about wearing a Rolex or something on that level, but first of all a watch I paid around 1k for would do that for me if it's a well made watch from a company with some heritage and second of all I don't want to jump from my 150€ mall watch to a Rolex, I'd prefer to build my way to it or an equivalent watch by buying at least one watch that sits somewhere in the middle first.

>>14915919
Unironically this. The man makes the watch, not the other way around

>>14915925
And I forgot to mention, a lot of people have complimented me on that shit watch I mentioned, so that certainly isn't why I'm looking for a new watch.

>>14915919
My man.
>>14915790
This stuck up niggerjewfaggot thinks he's all that, but all I read is an insecure little bitch that looks down on the subway when a rowdy teenager looks at him.
Wore my semenslurper on a 3 euro perlon once and the strap was what got me a compliment from a cutie. Have actually gotten more compliments on my obnoxious yellow baby-g than any so called luxury watch.

>>14915910
>You prove my point. Not everyone wants to dress ostentatiously, so luxury watches can't be the only option
No one is talking about "ostentatious" watches here retard, we're talking about entry level mechanical watches. What exactly is your dress style, you still haven't said what you want the watch to go with. Most watches we're discussing here are steel sports watches that are literally meant to be worn with jeans and a t-shirt.
>>14915921
Then why are you asking for our opinions?
>>14915925
>I'd appreciate something more accurate
Then get any radio quartz that you like the look of.

>>14915925
>I don't want to jump from my 150€ mall watch to a Rolex
There's nothing in between that's worth it, I don't know why you feel so insecure or unworthy of a good watch or whatever. You won't ever be reselling the $1-3k shitter because literally no one wants them, so why not just save up?

For me, it's the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39. Beautifully simply, clean and classic.

>>14915925
The Nomos club is a great option, check out the Oris diver 65 as well

>>14914157
Imagine the time that took to take this pic, taking the pin out in order to 6 watches with bracelets there.

How much would a gold watch cost nowadays? Gold case, leather strap, no date/calendan window, minimalist design, something like pic related.

should I get the vostok with the original bezel or the modded bezel

>>14915972

Cheapest would probably be around 5-6k.

>>14915909
I have people compliment me on my $100 "minimalist" Fossil all the time. Depending on the lifestyle a steel watch can be a presumptuous mismatch.

>>14916028
this is pretty aesthetic too

>>14916034
Wow what snobbery, I found one for less than $50.

>Then get any radio quartz that you like the look of.
Not sure if you missed my other point or just decided to ignore it. I won't try to argue with you since I have very limited knowledge and experience with watches, but since a Rolex is out of the question for me, I'll go ahead and not spend more than I currently find reasonable on a watch.
>>14915977
"In between" is where I'm at in my life. I'm transitioning from being a poorfag to earning good money. Since this period will take a couple of years, I want a fitting watch to wear while it lasts instead of what I have and leave the Rolexes for later. I'm not gonna start saving up for a Rolex in my early 20s.
>>14915982
Thanks, will look into them.

>I'm not gonna start saving up for a Rolex in my early 20s.
I mean you're supposed to have one by your late 20s, so when else are you going to save up for it? If you were earning "good money" you could just get then, until then, who care what you wear anyway?

Don't you still have a TAG or Oris or some other shitter or something like that from high school like everyone else?

If you waste your entire 20s without even an entry level watch I don't know what to tell you, you're a dumbass. Why not just buy it on credit and not waste the only relevant 10 years of your life? Imagine having a son and giving him the watch, do you want to tell him "lol I finally made enough money to buy this 2 years ago because I'm a massive loser so now it's yours because I'm too old to wear it anyway" or "this Rolex/Omega has been with me for 20 years and now that I bought a real luxury watch it's yours"?

>>14916126
Brands can claim to position however the fuck they want, charge whatever they want, and someone can make a list like this ordered in any way they want.

Fortunately some of us are not dumb enough to buy into it.

>>14916093
>Imagine having a son and giving him the watch, do you want to tell him "lol I finally made enough money to buy this 2 years ago because I'm a massive loser so now it's yours because I'm too old to wear it anyway" or "this Rolex/Omega has been with me for 20 years and now that I bought a real luxury watch it's yours"?

Imagine wearing what you like and spending your money on experiences instead of objects, or better yet not being a selfish asshole and spending it on someone else. That way your son won't grow up to be the materialistic faggot you are.

>>14916151
Really nice looking dial but the white text is a little weird, also the hands look very out of place... its screaming for some blued steel

How is it selfish to give your son a few heirloom watches?

Beautiful

What is the best watch box on Amazon?
Only need like a 10 slot but want something easy to take watches in and out of, wont scratch and isnt gonna break the bank.

What do people here think about smartwatches like the Garmin Fenix 6, Marq and Foreunner 985? I really like the engineering and the craft behind mechanical watches, but it's hard to give up the benefits of activity trackers/fitness watches. Do people swap out a running watch, etc only for working out, or wear that most of the time and only put on their mechanicals for nice events/meetings?

>>14914562
>dogvomit ROO's.
Fucking finally, I felt like the little kid in the story about the emperor's new clothes. How in the fuck people pay fuckoff money for a watch that looks like it comes from a crane game at a carnival, I just don't understand.

This the current collection. Done buying watches until I can afford to buy a zodiac

>>14916605

>>14914920

>ah, I must be home again
Because in Asia about a decade ago every motherfucker and their dog wore a pam. Now they've pretty much been relegated to lend-watches to mistresses. Maybe 2nd mistresses.
The age of pam is over forever, thank fuck.

CASIO G-SHOCK DW-5600BB-1 VS G-SHOCK DW-5600MS-1

C/N as my first? I don't know anything about watches but Iike em.
Also I just measured my wrist with string, it seems to be about 6 inches, will it fit?!

>>14916908
Do they both have radio shit?

>>14916916
i don't know what you mean by radio shit (to timekeep?) but i don't think both of them have that.

>>14916921
>G-SHOCK’s Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping technology, which provides accurate timekeeping virtually anywhere via radio signals from up to six different transmitters worldwide.
Get one with that.

>>14916912
>C/N as my first?
Not. Open heart looks really tacky, especially as a large majority of cheap, chinese made ten buck watches uses that feature, somewhat tarnishing it's image. If you really want to see the inner workings of a watch, just make sure it has a clear case back.

>6 inch wrist
You are cursed with thin wrists that rule out a large majority of modern watches due to how 42mm cases are a current trend, whereas you should be aiming for watches around 38mm at the most.

>>14916576
Depends, but those people usually just use their smart watch and take it off if they have to.

>>14916963
>Open heart looks really tacky
I wasn't sure what the deal with that part was, I'm not a fan. I just want something neutral/classic looking

>cursed with thin wrists
I think you mean blessed :) I prefer men's watches but I found these two women's that will surely fit
Thoughts on either of them instead? I much prefer the black but I was told in a previous thread that Tissot was a shitty brand and I'm inclined to trust just about anyone

>>14916992
Tissot is fine for a fashion watch.

>>14916608
I cant stand the dial on the Seiko with the heart beat. Why couldnt it just be all black? It looks very early 2000s PT Cruiser driver.

Following up from the last thread about hawking shit on Ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/selling-tools/selling-ebay-authenticate?id=4644

If you have to buy an Omega or Rolex on Ebay that isnt a beat to death old shitter, probably should only buy one that is authenticated. If you spend $3k on a scratched to fucking death Seamaster that is probably a clone that someone just weathered in a sand filled blender, thats on you.

>>14916116
>>14916105
>>14914699
>>14914613
Can you put the same straps on all of these models, or are they shaped differently around the lugs?

>>14915999
They sell them with replacement bezel? If you order from meranom and choose an optional bezel, you get the watch with original bezel + the bezel that you ordered.
If you buy a thicker case like your pic related, a seiko bezel will fit fine, but if you buy a smaller vostok, like the 420, the meranom bezels are the best because they are much slimmer and fit the watch much better.

>>14916565
Love the ellipse, mainly the white gold blue dial version with the white gold mesh bracelet.
Beautiful anon.

>>14917096
With matching cufflinks of course

I'm testing this guy and so far is doing well. Good monitoring of daily activities. User friendly tools. Faces for all occasions.

got this as a christmas present. my old faithful timex easy reader watch was swallowed by the x-ray conveyor belt at stockholm airport.

I was skeptical about this new one at first because it looked a bit too busy relative to my old one, but it's growing on me.

>>14916908
I'd pick left.

It wasn't even an expensive watch holy shit how pathetic they are.

>>14917314
ok cetnik

I found an old 5610 that was buried in a drawer for over a year.
Once exposed to light it turned on, but for some reason I can't adjust the time. In fact none of the buttons are working. Is there something I can do to fix this?

>>14917345
You can try the reset switch if you open it

Is the "new" Cal. 321 Speedmaster the famous reengineered one that Omega has been talking about for a few months now? Kinda losing orientation with all the various special editions and models over the years.
Pic related: the only automatic one they should make, fuck coaxial Speedmaster jewelry

Whats the name/model/ref of the vostok in OP?

>>14917345
Some solar-powered watches have a low power mode where they don't respond to fly-by-wire controls (i.e. buttons). Let it charge some more, then try again.
>>14917392
Looks like a 420 body with the bezel off.

>>14917410
thank you man. is it easy to remove the bezel one self, and does it do any harm to the watch not having it on?

>>14917421
The bezel is retained by a spring, so it's easy enough to take off. Look for "vostok mods" on youtube, the general technique is that you'd either use a plastic spudger (such as what takes a cellphone's back off), a felt-covered dining knife, or a bare dining knife but with sellotape on the shiny bits (strap lugs etc.) that'd be at risk of getting scratches; jam it between bezel and body & twist.

It does no harm to the watch not having a bezel on, or to its water sealing. Some who don't like the "rifle is fine" look put an unmarked bezel on instead, because the crystal is rather tall on the Amfibias (and like 2 mm less so on Komandirskies). That costs as much as a Seiko imitation bezel, though.

>>14917245
Makes sense. Any major complaints or issues?

It's hard to ignore that for less than the cost of a Tudor or Grand Seiko I can get a Fenix 6 or even a Montblanc Summit 2 and get a very nice practical watch for day to day wear. Would I wear it at a gala? No, but that's what a dress shitter is for anyways

>>14917384
>Is the "new" Cal. 321 Speedmaster the famous reengineered one that Omega has been talking about for a few months now?
Yes.

It’s a bit big but I prefer it chunkier. 44mm case diameter. I’m getting a NATO made separately.

>>14917292
Does Arlanda have one of those conveyer belts that swallow the tray at the end of the belt?

I got pulled aside for a min because I forgot to take my belt off, so my tray got sucked down. Got my jacket back but the watch at the bottom of the tray was gone. The staff were useless, but I had to leave to catch my flight. I’ve never seen such a terrible system.

I do have real casios in my collection also, like the a solar/atomic 5600 a solar prg-300 which I adore, and the mall watch esque bluetooth edifice eqb-510. These are distinctly different from the skmeis in that they have advanced functionality. But for the simplistic casio watches, I'd much rather buy a skmei that costs 1/4 or 1/5 the amount, looks the same and has the same functionality, than a casio.

>>14917640
