>Woah! I modded my watch!

What is the closest thing to pic related I can get for around $400?

I mostly like it for the wide flat bezel and minimalist looks.

I...I really want to mod my Speedmaster First Omega In Space

>>14948919
Modding is never cool. Doesn't matter if its watches or cars or whatever. Its gay and for poorfags who can only afford to upgrade shit they already own rather than saving up for the real deal. Putting a v8 in a VW golf isnt cool, its gay. Putting a explorer ii bezel on a seiko is gay. Modding high end stuff is for brain dead retards.

Are there any companies making good bracelets for the cute little digital Casios? Their stock bracelets pinch my arm hair and they look idiotic on a nato etc

Anyone know how to upgrade while maintaining a similar aesthetic?

I agree. The modding Seiko crowd are just idiots. I get changing a bezel insert if you want a different insert but bleaching it to look old? Coffee staining lume to look vintage? fucking hell. Then again, patina watches like Tudors are just as bad.

>>14948845
Got my new gym watch today. Pretty happy with it and I think it will last pretty well despite being a chunky little thing.

>>14949142
reference model name desu?

>>14949437
Why would you wear clunky mechanical watch to gym?

Taking into consideration last thread's feedback I've adjusted the the options. So what looks better? B or C? (or option E?)
Is a red bezel and a red dial too much? It'd look like the example 020 (next to blue one).

Recap:
Want red dial watch, red dial watch I want hard to find. Vostok cheap.
Parts: favinov dial (gradient red, C3) + C3 luminova gilt arrow hands. Meranom gilt chapter ring, red bezel.
Alternative: fuck the gilt parts, go all silver.

>>14949488
Obviously I'm not going to keep it on the shitty stock bracelet. Either a mesh or perlon or something.

I wouldn't buy a Russian watch unless it was made back in the soviet union. and even then, 99.99% are trash. I would buy a gold one if it were cheap.

>>14949472
Why not? I got it as a daily beater because Zelos makes pretty rock solid tooly pieces for not super crazy high prices. I like using the dive time bezel to time my rests and how long I've been swimming or in the sauna. It's also significantly less obstructive than my G-shock and I don't tend to really bang watches around too much when I do my workouts anyways.

>>14949495

The meranom komandirskies have the same WR as the Amphibia now.

beware the case dimensions
presumably you mean basic 420 case for the scuba dude?
that 24hr komander has a 49mm lug length and those lugs don't have much curve
if you're a wristlet that shit's gonna overhang
420 case is 46mm with curve. different fit between them

Been watching the show Schitt's Creek and can never make out what watch he's wearing.
Can anyone identify?

>>14949501
Eh, the seals on this thing are rated to ~300°F, it'll be just fine for a 10 minute sauna session.

Left or right? I’m going for that authentic slavshit look for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R challenge. They both have WR to 20 bar

currently wearing pick related. Do you guys know anything I might also like?

>>14948930
So how do you feel about getting a good haircut?

>>14949581
It seems the 24h model is going to coax you into a snafu more than once until you get the hang of it. Just get one for cheap offa ebay, no need to feed the pre-modded sellers money you could be spending on an EDC gasmask instead. Unless you foresee yourself being in a submarine or nuke shelter for extended periods of time, 24h is an accident waiting to happen.

>>14949581
I like 24hr watches. Russian calibres without a quickset date are pain in the ass. Keep the damn thing wound.
I've noticed with my two meranom 420SE's with the 243X movement: the arrow hands model has thrown me off a few times because of the wide flange of arrow head. More than once I've actually been an hour ahead or behind than I thought I was because I was reading it wrong after a quick glance whilst in a rush. It's the small indicies on my model that don't have numerals or pips, just a thin bar. Now I make sure not to rely on an quick glance.
The sword hands variant I have never gave me problems, nor did the old 24hr aviator with fat sword hands I got a decade ago.

What >>14949593 said, there's a learning or unlearning curve in getting used to a 24hr dial and your perspective of time will change when you have the entire day laid out for you visually. If you already have conventional watches, it's a nice change and there's just not much available in 24hr form. Most of it is slavshit.

what do you guys think about cartier? is it too girly? im considering pic related but there are couple of things holding me back. mainly the fact that they are very popular among women. the second thing is the fact that it probably won't keep its value very well. i want something understated, subtle, elegant and different. i think santos fits that very well, im only cosidered about the brand

but they're pretty well known and we also design for other fashion brands

>>14949884
wtf?

>>14949876
What in the world is an "international" watch brand? They buy their shit from china and then sell it as SWISS MADE or what?

>>14949684
Santos is an iconic watch. sturdy and reliable, the one in your pic looks like the latest model: it has more subtle curves and little details that makes it more round, but you must not mistaken this watch for a feminine timepiece.
if anything, it's not really subtle or understated. Cartier it's a brand knwow for its bold style, so maybe you're thinking more about an Omega or a Grand Seiko.

why would you think Cartier is a female-only brand?

>>14949904
I mean that it's pretty well know worldwide.

>>14949910
>not really subtle or understated
i didn't express myself the best. im okay with it being bold. i just don't want non-enthusiast to know what im wearing from simply glancing at it and especially not to bring up conversation about it. this is what ruined rolex for me. everyone can tell it's a rolex from a mile away and it inevitably leads to awkward conversation, or even worse, catching strangers looking at it multiple times. and i only wore datejust 3 times.
>why would you think Cartier is a female-only brand?
when i think watches for men first thing that comes to mind are big, bulky, ugly divers with messed up proportions and next to them cartiers look so pretty and classy and are usually on smaller side. and so many famous women wear them. maybe i sound silly, but i don't want to look like im wearing my mom's watch. i just wish this big size trend would stop already

This summer I plan to finally take my car to some autocross events and actual road track racing. I need a watch to LARP as a cool young boomer in the 60s/early 70s. Would fucking love a vintage Heuer but the cunts are too expensive anymore. What should I get?

My Seiko SNA411.

Actually use the slide rule bezel for my job. Most useful watch I've ever owned.

>>14950038
If you want an old looking heuer chrono, take a look at the monaco (CAW211P). There's also the new autavia, but they had to stick a fucking date window in that one unfortunately. There's also the carrera re-edition which is nigh identical in proportion to the original.

>>14950041

>>14950873

>screw down crown
Such a thing used to bother me, but since I'm not going to wear it swimming much less diving it's not such trouble. "Dive watch" is a style more than anything these days.
>no lume on the bezel
Don't care either way.
>powermatic movement
This is the kicker.
I won't buy anything with this movement, no matter how tempting the offer.

What's wrong with the movement? All I know is it's ETA and has a crazy high power reserve.
The other stuff doesn't matter to me as I don't dive and never will. I don't even like swimming, really. Rado is cool to me as I like their designs and think the stuff they're doing with high tech materials, especially the ceramic alloy stuff, is really awesome. It's a really cool talking point when someone into watches compliments it.

>>14950893
What do you mean "potentially"? Is it plastic or not?

>>14950899
Literally just look at the pic m8. There's a version with a plastic escapement, and a version with a metal one.

Also see >>14233362
>Its so much cheaper to manufacture Powermatic-80 style escapements that the Swatch Group can offer better initial accuracy ratings than the regulated balances being replaced, and not worry about all the possible long term issues because those escapeements are cheap enough to make that replacing them at every service would likely be cheaper than spending a skilled watchmaker's labour on fiddling with them. Powermatic-80 movements, specifically, are just thrown out and replaced when the watch is serviced for that reason.

I think it also depends upon which company in the swatch group uses it.
Someone on WUS emailed Mido to ask if their iteration of the powermatic had plastic components; the answer was "no", but whether that's just CS ceaselessness or a legit answer is anybody's guess. Tissot's seem to however.

>>14951588
Get him the gshock gmw5610 or whatever the basic solar multibrand square is. Literally the most no nonsense watch around because it doesnt need battery changes and the time syncs with an atomic clock automatically. 125 cad on amazon so you figure that out in ameribucks

>>14951588
First pic in this thread, solar radio controlled digital. Ticks every box, yours for like 80 bucks.

>>14951540
Casio SGW100 has very big digits + letters and is very easy to read. It's tough and has a compass too. When the band breaks after like 3 years you can easily put it on a $10 NATO strap which can hold up forever, no special adapters needed.

is the srpd31k1 the sexiest/sleekest watch with a compass under $500?

"Casio Royale" AE-1200. Cheap, reliable, lasts forever on a single battery, looks pretty nice for a digital watch. Inspired by the design of an older Seiko model. You have to remove those black feature advertisements though, this makes a big difference.

lolololol when was that from?

>>14952381
I don't have a Royal Oak, but I do have Vacheron Constantin Patrimony in White Gold.

The last service cost was $3,100 for the service, then $2,000 for a replacement strap.

They gave me free overnight shipping both ways, though.

>>14952479
>$2,000 for a replacement strap
Sounds quite excessive, unless that includes solid gold buckles or something. You can get an alligator strap from camille fournet (the maker of JLCs straps) for about $250 after all.

>>14952483
You're probably right, but I got a new buckle, so there's that.

>>14952147
>Casio Royale is a gay watch for fags
>bro just get a G Shock and put it on a nato
Imagine being this tasteless

>>14952510
Yea that explains it then. Every watchmaker is guilty of charging considerably more for gold parts than their actual melt value as far as I've seen. Lange charges a few kilodollars for a gold deployant buckle for example.
Also small scale alligator as the inner lining is great, Did that for both of the custom straps I've ordered.

>>14952541
Can confirm, bought a pre-owned datograph and the guy asked 2k$ more than comparable offers because of a recent service and deployant buckle.
I absolutely wanted the deployant buckle so I checked in with a local lange boutique to see how much money those were.
When I heard prices up to 10k$ for the platinum one I knew making the upgrade afterwards was retarded and I should buy the one that already has it.

Is there a decent Sinn 556a homage? I know theres that one guy in Chicago (Alexander James) that puts some out but they dont quite look right. Do I have to fux with yobokies?

I've been getting super into this watch lately. Looks good as hell and it's sub 40mm.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't?

Basically I'm an average guy without megabucks and I'm looking for a modest yet attractive watch. What watches should I look at?

Why mechanical then?

>>14953104
Quartz is disposable and not keepers. If I was going that route I'd just buy a $10 casio and call it a day.

a 1601 with alpha hands might just be my grail

>>14953018
Seiko SARB033

>>14953106
You should lower your price.
Maybe you’d find something that suits your needs.

>>14952861
Imagine thinking the opinions of autists on 4chan represent how the real world thinks
Outside of your little 4chan echo chamber, no one thinks Omega is anything but a quality brand
But please, go on and tell me all about how the real world thinks your Grand Seiko is so awesome and Omegas are for basedboy redditors. I'd love to hear what your real world experience has to say

Which one for a dive watch? First option pops out more, seems more interesting and fun, second is more versatile, laid back and classic.

>>14953215
Depends where you dive.

>>14953115
You're retarded.

>>14953034
Why exactly you need bluetooth in your watch? Is this just maximum zoomerposting?

Everything needs to be "smart". Everything needs to have it's own mobile app.
Soon your toilet will have an app that will let you know how much you shit in it.

>>14952736
I like the AT, don't get a GS as your first watch maybe 5 or 6, they are to thick for there styling, I think most people recommending GS hasn't saw them in person (I've been to GS main Ginza store) the AT can be hard to read in some lighting situations due to the small amount of lume. Go see it in store, I like the black dial 38mm, The new seamaster is probably better buying, if you like it.

Railmasters fake lume is a showstopper, AT is the better watch.

>>14951841
Thats fucking wrong.

Anybody get disillusioned after seeing expensive watches in the flesh?
I guess a lot of the beauty and craft is in the movements, otherwise not seen in a boutique window, but other then that, from what Ive seen recently:
>TAG looks like absolute chinesium trash that should be labeled as any fashion watch brand for half the price at least
>Tudor has nice crisp details, but are still yuge, except the BB58, the only one I liked was the North Flag, otherwise they are boring
>Hublot looks like it was solely made with real estate in mind for diamond inlays
>Frederique Constant is so classically boring, it may as well be from Aliexpress or Seiko
>Same goes for some Baume/Mercier models
>Cartier seems like a very niche brand, somehow didnt find the sizing that would be JUST right
>Hate to admit it, but Rolex really has a lot of very subtle details that make (some) models stand out as quality products, I dont get the ladies versions or the bi-metal ones, then there is the price

The great search continues.

Maison celadon imperial.

What do you guys think of pic related as an everyday watch? Japanese movement, sapphire glass. Got it on clearance for $25 bucks.

>>14953386
Dogshit. At least you didn't pay $200 for it like the people who buy daniel wellingtons, fossils or whatever.

>>14953391
Why's it dog shit (presuming you mean it looks-wise)? Also, if I was gonna pay serious change for a watch, I'd pay more than $200 (and have for an Omega). I was just looking for an every day beater that looked pretty decent.

>>14953398
Because it's like any other no-name fashion watch.
https://imgur.com/a/6CNO8

>>14953386
Presuming it keeps time well, it's alright for $25. At that price, you're mostly limited to Walmart/Target discount watches that lose like 3 minutes per day and have a bunch of secondary dials that don't actually move. It's not spectacular looking, but it's not ugly either.

>>14952927
What? No.

>>14953143
>no one thinks Omega is anything but a quality brand
cept the people that know that it's mostly made in china

>>14953368
Saw this model with the black dial/silver hands in a boutique and almost started laughing out loud when I couldn't see the hands and indices until I rotated the watch just right to catch the light. Polishing too much and the angles on the hands not conducive to catching the light. Lighter dial models were fine. Honestly the only brand that does hyperpolished hands and indices right is GS, where they're angled in such a way as to be able to reflect even a tiny bit of light in a darker room.

In-house, or nothing, fuckers.

>>14953398
It's not even a reliable beater like what you could have otherwise had for your $25 from the actual cheap beater category.

What are your thoughts on something like Maurice Lacroix Aikon. Not as in recommendations whether to buy it, but is this basically a replica when the design is this similar to a a certain other watch?

>>14953473
If it doesn't have the other brand's trademarks on it, it's not a replica. Call it a clone or something; those are always to be looked at on their own merit, but from a strictly value POV (imagine that, on /wt/) you're always losing something because the brand spent time and effort on imitating another brand who've sunk the R&D costs already.

>>14953427
>What? No.
Yes. It was invented for the zeppelin captain to be able to chronographize the ETA to impact and discover gravity.

have you ever been discriminated by your AD?
like they refused to let you try on a watch when they asked you if you intend to purchase the said watch and you said no.

Getting a strap for this while it's away being serviced, anyone suggest what'd look good with it? I'm thinking brown suede.

Buy this fucker instead.

A fucking $500 casio is 100% in-house, anon. You dont have yo pay out the ass for the swiss jew

>>14953603
A mesh strap but etched with ferrum chloride so it wouldn't outshine the watch itself.

>>14953696
can you post an example?

>>14953703
Basically like this https://www.wikihow.com/Acid-Etch-Steel or https://www.finishing.com/284/09.shtml to achieve a matte, aged look. Consider getting a one or two $3 aliexpress meshes to experiment with.

it would be perfect if it didn't have anus written in it and if they were able to make a fucking website that doesn't look like it was made by bunch of highschoolers. for fucks sake, watches like rolex and omega arent really expensive when you see how these low cost watch companies operate

>>14953744
>if it didn't have anus written
That's part of the appeal

False dichotomy. The guy is being dumb, but both brands are good. There is go. Omega is more famous with average people which could be a plus or a minus for you.

>>14953143
>Outside of your little 4chan echo chamber, no one thinks Omega is anything but a quality brand
Literally no one knows what Omega even is dude.

Can anyone explain this dial?

Hank wouldn't shell out for them Wolverines when there's a perfectly good alternative at Walmart or through the Dexter's catalog. Also, Wranglers, sure, if they're on sale. Probably Faded Glory most days.

do i back hack or do I buy a more fully featured watch

>>14953690
I wouldn't want to spend $500 on a Casio, even a very nice one. A that price point you already have a wide selection of brands.
Casio is the best choice if you're looking for a decent inexpensive quartz watch with a Miyota movement. Or a digital watch - Casio is the obvious choice there.

>>14953926
why not ? just because of the brand ? do you buy the watch for yourself or to show off ?

>>14953951
I have no problems with the brand. I wear a Casio watch myself.
But at $500 there are plenty of other watches that I'd be more interested in buying.

Modern that isn't a Nautilus, yes. Vintage is where it's at, many of those are just incredible. Have had the opportunity to see a few up close and they were magical.

>>14953473
They look pretty nice to me. It's hard to come up with something original and not have it cost hundreds of thousands. What comes to mind in modern watches that are very original and well designed are the Octofinissimo and Lange watches. That's about it. I mean, it's a watch and if there aren't any complications it's very hard to make something new and innovative in terms of design.
If you want something special and out there you're best off with independents. But like I said, they usually cost a ton of money.
