Why white version of this cost twice more wtf

any good seiko automatic dress watches?

>>14980197
Cocktail Time is a classic. Presage version is a little pigfat though.

I bought one last week and I'm loving it.
My friends think it's a very cheap watch though. Only people who care about watches value them.

this pic should help

Just got this back from service. They didnt say specifically why it isn't running but parts are obsolete so they couldn't do anything with it. How feasible is it to get another Accutron movement put in? Would it cost more than the watch is worth? I'm guessing it'd be difficult to find the same movement in working order in the first place.

>>14979237
>>14980476
Based an non-atomic pilled.
I can't decide which one of these to evolve my F91W into.

>>14980936
Did you send it to one of the only two accutron repair specialists in the world like you were advised or just to your local repair chop shop?

>>14980946
>Adjusting your watch every 2 to 3 months because it is a minute fast or slow because of some misplaced anti-tech pride.
It's one thing with mechanical movement, but it's a fucking digital watch.

>>14980962
I set my F91W after my computer clock in like July 2018 and it's 6 seconds behind now

>>14980979
Good luck, I guess. I was adjusting my F-105w every month or two because being off by 30 seconds, or even a minute, was a true irritation when I needed to give an exact time for something.

>still not solar
WHY?

>>14980982
That sucks, seems like you got unlucky. A guy on youtube set a whole box of quartz watches and measures their accuracy at the end of the month, the worst one was off by 6 seconds iirc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0xUdBF_38k

>>14980982
>>14980994
Actually I'm a fag, the worst was off my 11-12 seconds, on par with yours

>>14980994
I think a lot of things go into it. Vibration and temperature changes will lead to greater inaccuracy; even in quartz movements. I personally really like the atomic feature as I know my watch will be within 1 second every day.

>>14980984
Solar is a meme

>>14981192
A little bit, but it does give you far more time between battery changes.

The main reason I will never buy one of these is because they have "G-SHOCK PROTECTION" slapped on them in huge dumb letters.

Is this watch a meme? Is it going to fall apart couple of months after buying it?

>>14981388
There are some custom bezel without it

>>14981195
Only if you use things like backlight and alarms extensively. If you don't - a regular lithium battery can last for a decade (and it will probably be easier and cheaper to replace).

Cheaper for sure, a guy made a comparison

>>14981521
Solar-powered watches are bordering on being a scam. When you're buying a solar watch, no one tells you it has a battery that you will need to replace. "Renewable energy, it will last forever!" But in reality it's not much different from modern consumer electronics that also use rechargeable batteries that will lose their capacity and die.

CR20xx Lithium batteries is where the real power efficiency is at.

>>14981409
Not if you get it from a decent seller that actually has qc checks. I've had mine a couple of years with no issues.

1) what lens on the rollie? do you like using it?
2) what's the pocket watch? looks like and american railroad type

Can anyone help me id this movement ? The watch is a Catamaran my grandma found in her purse and gave me and I want to replace the movement because it doesn't work it is about 36mm the movement says no jewels unadjusted.
Can someone recommend a good movement to replace it with this one I put in a fresh battery and after like a day it stops working. Also about how much would it cost to replace it if I went to an expert ?

>>14984153
1 - It's a 3.5f. It was granddads from back when he was a wedding photographer. I really like using it, it's my only camera outside my phone. I don't use it as often as I should, but probably 3-4 times a year I'll put a couple rolls through.

2 - No clue to be honest. I would carry it around if I wasn't so paranoid of losing it. Another one of granddads things. It was on the shelf behind me so I threw it in the pic.

>>14984165
I have no idea what it is, but with that amount of plastic it looks extremely cheap.
You may be able to find a Miyota movement that will fit there: https://miyotamovement.com/product/

>>14984165
Keep in mind that hands that fit one brand of moment, and within that brand say, a specific type, won't necessarily fit another's. So you're better off finding exactly that type of movement to replace it, whatever it is.
It's unlikely to be anything too exotic. If you're committed sign up for one of the standard watch forums and ask the boomers in their repair or quartz watch sections.
If you take it to a repair guy there's a fair chance you'll be charged more than the watch is worth. But you're paying him to pick the correct movement, replace it and the hands and dial without fucking anything up badly. Not fucking up the hands is harder than you think. Much harder.
Honesty you're better off just biting the bullet and getting a quote from a repair guy. Especially if the watch has sentimental value and you don't want to destroy it.

>>14980984
Besides the point, but I've heard that GD-350 uses the biggest battery of any G-Shock, and can go for more than 10 years even with a daily alarm, but dunno how true it is.

nobody needs 300m of water resistance either, but people still buy divers. 90% of owners dont need the wrist watch at all so argument that some of it's functions are useless is pointless in this world

Orient Kamasu and Mako USA are unique. Pic is my Kamasu

I’ve had mine for a month and I’m enjoying it. The only downside I can think of are the hollow end links, but I’m putting it on a strap for swimming whenever that comes in. The bracelet isn’t even that rattly. Keeps good time, has sapphire, a screw down crown, and a great feeling bezel.

Is this feature still exclusive to Timex?

>>14984333
I've had a protrek for 12 years and still haven't needed to change the battery. Ignore that faggot, he's probably the guy who keeps saying radio time adjust is a meme too

Solar power in Protrek makes sense. Solar power in a typical analog watch with no extra features - not so much.

Is the radio adjust worth it?

>>14979221
GW5000 is literally the endgame in watches. It hasn’t left my wrist for 4 months after I got one. My mechanical shitters are collecting dust and will soon be listed on eBay.

What makes it better than the 5610?

Just bought a timex! Recently got a carhartt jacket and shirt and pant combo as well. Lets go! The fit is coming along wow

>>14984587
The overall feel of quality and much more solid wrist presence. You have to hold one to understand it. The solid metal case with screw down back just feels great. Yes, it’s 3 times more expensive for the same features, but given that the watch will last lifetime it’s definitely worth it for me.

I think my Sub is more accurate than my DW6900 which consistently gains ~20s a month. I need to add it to Toolwatch.

A sub-$100 watch with sapphire crystal that will need battery change only once in a decade. You don't see both of these things at the same time in a cheap watch very often.
And it looks pretty good, available in different colors. There's also a smaller one for women, LTS-100.

The trusty Vostok Komandirskie took a shit on me today after about 4 or so years. I unscrewed the crown to wind it and I felt this sensation like the spring unwound or something and now nothing happens when I turn the crown. If I shake the watch there's a loose piece inside but I don't know how to get the case back off to see what it is.
Sucks because I ordered a new strap that is supposed to arrive any day now that's useless now.

>>14985234

are you that poor you can't just buy a new one?

>>14985250
It's got sentimental value to me. It was the first mechanical watch I ever got and the reason I started getting into watches in the first place. I got it when I was in the army too as a fun shitter watch and I've still got it.
Anyway, I looked up how to open the back and it was the screw that goes into the ratchet wheel. It came loose somehow and the ratchet wheel came out of its place. Luckily the screw didn't fall out so I just screwed it back in and voila, it works.

>>14984884
For me, it's the Alpinist™

Is it good or bad to wind a watch throughout the day? Or should you only do it as needed like once a day or something?
Can it hurt your watch to wind it a lot?

>>14985181
>soapy water is the bane of all water resistance seals, over time

The elastomerics used today are either silicone or fluorosilicone, these are fairly resistant to attack from common household chemicals. In fact, they are better at resisting attack than your skin. If it doesn’t hurt you, it won’t hurt the gaskets. Yes, it is quite surprising that the steel case is at more risk than the rubber gaskets, but for the environment a wrist watch lives it, that's the truth.

UV will affect rubber. But, in order for UV to affect the rubber, the rubber must be exposed to UV light. How many watches do you know of with exposed gaskets? Well, the crystal gasket is exposed, isn’t it? Yes, it is, but mostly from underneath the crystal. The glass in the crystal will absorb much of the UV light, reducing the damage, and the type of gasket material commonly used is nylon, which has good resistance to UV degradation. Further, UV degradation takes time, years of time, one day at the beach will not ruin the gaskets of your crystal.

Ozone will affect rubber. That’s why rubbers have a service life. The service life is anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on the grade of rubber and level of ozone.

>>14985269
It's recommended to wind hand-wound watches in the evening, and set them in the morning. Automatic watches should be wound once a month if they don't regularly wind themselves up to max, or more often if they're just sitting on a shelf.

In principle vigorous winding can bend the crown stem, rendering a waterproof watch less so because of seals going a bit wonky. This is not a significant concern for most people, particularly 4channers with dainty lady hands.

>>14985250
A cloned F-91W is a third world shitter, for places where $8 is half a month's salary and you need a watch so your boss doesn't keep you in the sweatshop for 3 hours extra. Komandirskies cost like 40€ (handwound), certainly that's luxury in the sense that you could have a workable quartz shitter for that much and possibly several bottles of vodka as well. Plus there's little that's as satisfying as unfucking a fucked bit of kit on your own.

Relatedly, my Amfibia (pictured, despite Komandirski on the dial it's an Ambifia) is doing like +2.5s/d according to Watchcheck over three weeks I've had it. Seems to wind itself right up every day as well. I thought I was buying a fun cheap first-world shitter, but it turned out that shit's actually cash. Gonna need me an Adidas strap if this keeps up.

>>14984820
I wouldn't worry about it, just buy it for your own reasons if you want one. As popular as it is, there's bound to be some people you don't want to be associated with who also own one.
Have you tried one on, by the way? When I did, I had to take a moment to reconsider it, as the bezel is really thin IRL compared to the impression I got from pictures on the world wide. The watch itself also carried a bit smaller than I thought it would, but that is probably a good thing for most people.

Miyota movements are super cheap, you just have to look online and find the best deal.
The real challenge is finding a movement that will fit that case/dial/hands perfectly.

>>14985515
>couldn't be any more accurate
It's "accurate" in the same way the clock in your phone or PC is accurate. Which means that it relies on an external source of data to stay accurate.
I know it's all a matter of preference, but I like my watch to be a self-contained device that isn't connected to anything other than my wrist.

>>14985528
>and you'll likely die before she does
Nah, the battery will stop holding a charge in 10-15 years. No matter what type of watch you wear, it's impossible to keep it running throughout your lifetime without any kind of servicing (and yes, battery replacement is servicing).

What are some sleazecore watches, bros?

So I bought myself a watch a couple of days ago and my wrists start aching after I wear it for a couple of hours. It's completely made out of metal and heavier than your average plastic wristwatch. Am I just supposed to get used to this new weight I'm carrying on my wrist? Can I damage my nerves if I keep wearing it?

It's also a bit slippery and moves up and down for about 3-4 cm when I tilt my arm up and down. Is this normal?

>>14985894
Uhh.. something that doesn't look like it came as a toy from a soviet cereal box?

thinking of buying a brown leather strap for this to match with belt and shoes. thoughts?

>>14985921
What do you think about this one, friend?

>>14979221
Is that firm any good or fa?

>>14985877
This pretty little shitter

>>14985925
I say leave it on the nylon. It just suits the Timex more imo. Instead put the money for the strap toward buying your next watch

>>14985957
Different anon but what would look good on a black orient Kamasu? I ordered a khaki Zulu strap for $10 like a month ago but idk if there are better options.
My wrist is 7” so the oyster bracelet is too tight to go into my watch case

Are there any good alternates to the Christopher Ward C60 Trident GMT? I enjoy the waves and colours, especially at the price point.

>psst, wanna buy a Daytona?

>>14985894
Nice

>>14985964
Personally, the only type of band I like at all on a diver besides the bracelet is a rubber strap

r8 pls

I'm stuck home from work due to weather and bored. Can we get a wrist check?

>>14985932
Very nice, not sleazy, don't care for Roman numerals on dials but that's my personal taste.

To me at least, /sleaze/ is about balancing flashy, thrifty and sporty. A Rolex is too upscale, but the Timex I posted is flashy enough normies may give it a second glace or compliment it but not so much anyone would mistake it for a legit luxury watch. An almost-fitting entry-tier suit with no tie and a "been living in this suit for 48 hrs but I don't care that much" vibe, with a Timex Q is p sleazy to me.

>>14985985
I’ve thought about that but I think I like zulus more than natos or rubber. Maybe a navy blue (favourite colour) perlon?

>>14985996

>>14985964
A navy blue NATO compliments the red seconds hand and black dial IMO, I wear that combo on my black dial Ray 2. IMO the polished surfaces on the rings of most NATOs go nicely with the polished edges on the sides of the case. I think the navy blue is the more important part though.

>>14986012
I was thinking the same colour. NATO or Zulu?

>>14985925
>thoughts

No, throw your shoes away and hang yourself from the belt.
What kind of input do you expect from us? Yes, buy what you like?

>>14986019
NATO, IMO Zulu's rings look best on watches that are bulkier, more utilitarian-looking or have less "refined" lines, though I'm not sure that's the right word. Maybe I'm just a bit biased because my first analog watch I bought myself was a Bertucci A-2S and that had a Zulu on it.

Say what now Ivan?

>>14986061
Different anon but personally I think some of them have a lot of character. From what I hear they’re a lot better than the +/-40 they advertise.

>>14985996
I like the full weekday display and the font.

Personally I dislike dark face watches, but I accept they provide superior legibility.

Is it possible to identify this low-res Orient? The closest one I found is QBBQ003w, but it's gold-colored.

I liked his channel for the macro shots. It's funny how he still shot fake Rolexes

>>14986091
You might think they have character but there is no way you can claim they are luxury.

>>14986144
It's more likely his shots were with real watches. It's since been revealed he had accounts on fake / replicate watch forums and knew a lot about that scene.

>>14986148
No. Definitely no luxury. To say otherwise is delusional. But there’s still something about them that makes them nice to have

Vintage dress slav shit.

hi all,
ive been looking for a watch for a german friend of mine (living in the us) and i wanted to buy something vintage and possibly under $200.
what can you recommend? where should i be looking? i'm already looking through etsy but i cant see something i like. ive found cool watches with overt russian themes (cosmonauts etc) for a russian friend of mine i was hoping to find something similar for german friend.

thanks.

>>14985966

The man obviously has mental problems. Or some kind of crippling debt that drove him to desperation, but that wouldn't totally explain the almost pathological lying.

How in the fuck did he honestly think people wouldn't find out and call him - a very public figure - out on it eventually?
It's not like people toss out coveted Rolexes whenever they're bored with them.

>>14985937
Only if the logo looks like this.

>>14986267
i would like it to have german writing on the face? overtly german would be a good theme; something that reminds him of home. at the very least be from a german maker.
thanks again.

why even keep trying watch bro's?

>>14986148
It's luxury, as in strictly unnecessary but nice and a bit of bling, for people who cannot reasonably afford something past a F-91W clone. I.e. working poor, homeless living out of their cars, and so forth. As previously noted, for first-worlders it's a funny little toy or a meme to shitpost on /wt/ so that people get angry.
>>14985771
The strap's watch part is a tad too long, so I put a compass on there to keep the watch from sliding around. Also, russki smartwatch lols

No wonder these threads have turned on vostok. If that was your plan, then well done.

Anyone happen to know what chrono jeff goldblum is wearing in the original jurassic park?

Closest guess I've been able to find is a breitling transocean.

The Breitling logo and the date doesnt seem to fit...

>>14986516
Have you tried overseas?

>>14986459
I own two. Second hand VC, especially vintage, are affordable to anyone with a job. For some reason they have shit resale value when compared to say Rolex or Patek.

>>14979221
never not posting this

>>14984591

Found it. https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.co/MCO-533279087-reloj-orient-quartz-modelo-qbbq-co-a-cs-en-acero-inoxidable-_JM

But now I can see that it doesn't fully match the watch I've been looking for. Maybe the one I remember from 15 years ago wasn't a real Orient at all, but rather some fake with the same design.

>>14986527
Yea it's not quite right, but it does have the lines below 12 & above 6.
>>14986530
It definitely isn't a VC overseas.

>>14980850
I like it

>>14985628
Very nice

>>14986537
If you want gold-colored digital (although I don't undestand why would you want that), A168WEGM-9EF is a superior watch. Clean dial + good EL backlight.
And in general, A168, F-105 and A1000 are the only ones worth getting, because everything else has shit backlight.

>>14986597
And here is A168WG-9EF with a more old-school dial.

>>14986603
But I personally prefer these two, A168WEGG-1AEF and A168WEM-7EF.
And F-105, because it's so cheap and lightweight.

>>14986603

>>14986597
>>14986603

Why the fuck would anyone want to wear such a "look at me" watch that just shows how poor you are and how little taste you have?!

Get the real thing or nothing at all.

>>14986614
A500 is no longer in production, I think.

>>14986622
Even when it's a "real thing", it still looks tacky.

>>14986633
When it's expensive it can't be tacky. It's a status symbol.

What company will deliver a good NATO strap the quickest to Canada?

>>14986622
It's classier than using a smartphone or smartwatch

>>14986608
Apparently, only the newer ones have mineral glass instead of acrylic.

>>14986647
No casio is classier than a smartphone or smartwatch. Especially not a tacky fake gold one.

>DW-5600E-1VER (module 1545) with a calendar that will last only until 2039 appears to be the model that is still produced and sold everywhere
Why

>>14986622
because I have dark skin but I want a cheap beater

>>14986787
I was a little sad when I saw the calendar on my GW-5000 only went until 2099. Mostly because it reminded me that I'll be dead by then, but also because whatever child or grandchild I have won't be able to use it.

Thinking of getting my first amphibia in 120 or 420 case. What's the best dial/bezel combo? I quite like this one.

too big?

>>14986787
Or maybe the sellers are just idiots, and are still using old model number and old specs in their listings, despite selling the updated model.

So Delorean make watches now for whatever reason. Does anyone know of any other watches made by companies that you wouldn't expect to make watches?

>>14986902
They should make one with a flux capacitor somewhere on the dial.

>>14986828
If you have to ask...

>>14986828
it looks so, but it could be the angle. for definitive answer you must stand like pic related in front of the mirror and see.

how big is your wrist?

>>14986828
measure the width of your wrist, not the circumference. if its smaller than the lug to lug width of the watch then it's too big.

>>14986828
Yes.

I fucking love this Tudor

what is the cheapest time piece that conveys the message that the owner is contrarian who likes watches, probably knows more about them than you do, but he doesn't condone the brands that are expensive for the sake of being expensive and that he didn't waste any more money than necessary to get to the certain level? and in this case the certain level is sport style for every day wearing with good enough quality to be worn for at least 10 years without looking like it's about to die.

Is this the peak of minimalist watch scams?

>>14986269
No idea how he thought he could get away with it. Deranged or like another poster mentioned, gambling.

>>14986816
Best bezel is the one with red and black dots. Best dial is whichever has the right balance between post-soviet cringe and cool for you, but generally you'd want the hands to be easily discernible. Can't go wrong with the 420 case, but the 710 is also popular.

There are still a few reputable vintage Bulova accutron dealers/services out there, I know of one who deals through eBay but you really need to do some research first. The jump in popularity of the spaceviews has brought in the frankenwatch scammers

>>14987019
Watch doesn't look too big. Your arm could even handle a bigger watch. But don't do it, too big looks just silly.

>>14987186
>There are still a few reputable vintage Bulova accutron dealers/services out there
Do you know of any in milkbagland by any chance? I remember there was that one anon who worked at a jeweler's in new jersey who could service accutrons. Not sure if he's still lurking.
Also stay away from mybob for servicing these watches. The dude fucked my accutron so hard it was gaining 6s per minute and scratched/bent the shit out of my kreislers. Got it fixed by a real watchmaker at least.

>>14984422

>>14986988
Homos

>>14986988
Rolex Oysterquartz 17000 might be the ultimate contrarian watch. If you insist on purchasing new then Grand Seiko, entry level JLC, or DUW movement Nomos are probably your best bets as contrarian choices. A good argument could also be made for the Tudor BB58 as its the best value in-house, free sprung balance movement watch on the market and has none of Rolex's brand cachet.
