thoughts on my new watch?

where the fuck do i get something like this?
you must be able to get cheap ones with eta movements or something somewhere

Hey guys.

How’s it look? I was going for something more rugged to take skiing, swimming, and hiking

Any thoughts/experiences with the Marathon GSAR Medium?

I’m looking at getting it for my first mechanical watch, and I need something that’ll handle somewhat rugged conditions (nothing more than backpacking trips, maybe some climbing). The tritium is definitely a plus.

i local vintage watch dealer has one of these grand seiko 45's in great condition should i buy it?
i have a preference for hand wound watches and i love the distinctive unique case design

She'd be such a hottie if she didn't wax her forearms.

>>15013183
All Marathons are proper thicc so consider longer sleeves to have it covered lest it catches onto something, speaking of, you might want to consider a single piece strap like a nato/zulu or MN should a springbar fail. Now if only they didnt have the useless 13-24h markers.

Can anyone identify the model number of this mini monster? I'm struggling to find this exact colour online.

>>15013138
Didnt he have a different titcow before? Or is it just her hair?

>>15013212
>you might want to consider a single piece strap like a nato/zulu or MN should a springbar fail
Definitely a good idea. I’ve been wearing an eco-drive with an OD green NATO strap for the past few years, so I’ll probably do the same on this one.

>>15013213

Can anyone ID this model?

Opinions?

Even a shitter like Stowa has a better claim to that history you complete utter dullard. Nomos popped up and just rode the "affordable luxury minimalist" wave of the last decade.

Seiko SSB229P1. Aka "some random Seiko quartz chrono". Is a low tier movement most used now in Pulsars. If wanting a cheap Seiko Quartz Chrono loaded with features Id prefer a 7T series.

Seiko 66-5010, manual wind. Got it for $20 at a flea market. Found a watchmaker who could service it for $80. He said the movement was original and in good condition especially considering the age.

How much is non-poorfag?

Browse Omega, Rolex, Grand Seiko, IWC, Audemars Piguet, Zenith, Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, A. Lange & Sohne

>>15013375
It's a good watch that was sold very cheaply but some people were saying that prices are hiking due to ever increasing demand, so it's basically normalising.

>>15013125
fuck you, i like it

>>15013532
Next time a qt asks you for the time, your brain will freeze and you will start stuttering and mumbling something about being unable to read the fucking thing because it's a piece of black carton instead of a dial, then you will go home and cry yourself to sleep because deep down you know you will die childless and alone. All because of your fucking shitter "oooh look at me, I have ABSTRACT TASTE" piece of shit watch.

So think about that before buying one.

>>15013128
Slips right under the chuff

are vintage quartz watches less reliable than modern ones?

>>15013415
Imagine being a gun guy and watching Narcos, seeing tacticool modern guns with rails and optics from the 2000s and 2010s in the 80s and 90s. It's retardedly blatant and worst of all it's not like it's hard to source Cold War guns like it is with old watches.

I have a giant protruding wrist bone. Am I supposed to wear my watch on top of it, or pulled forward right at the base of my palm even if that watch will sit proud and not lay flat. Or is it okay to wear lower on my wrist below the bone?

About to cop this dope fucking baby-g so I can rock a square on my baby 6 inch wrist.

>>15013575
Always further away from the palm

>>15013577
Thanks m8

If I buy a vintage King Seiko quartz will it keep decent time assuming the module is in decent condition? These things look great but I won't bother if they will loose 20 min a day or something.

>>15013579
Those old quartzes are probably better than the new shitters. Every time I see a picture of a seiko penis quartz the second hand hits the indices perfectly.

>>15013586
Great. These things are sexy as hell.

>>15013294
Take a look at the back, it will tell you if it's worth it

>>15013588
They are. That's the twin quartz logo. Does it say 9923 no the back? They're +/- 20 seconds per year.

>>15013603
That's pretty great thanks. I just had no idea if the coils get fucked up on old quartz watches or there was some other known issue where the old ones loose a bunch of accuracy. But I guess as long as it's not water damaged or dirty it probably works just about the same as when it was new.

That's a watch bro.

>>15013188
If you can confirm it runs, the case hasn't been overly polished, and you can look up the model number online to confirm its not a redial I'd say go for it.

The 45xx movement is one of the finest series produced movements of the late pre-quartz era. They are generally extremely accurate, the only downside is that their higher beat rate can make them more prone to long-term wear issues than other Daini Seikosha movements of the same period, and if you ever need spare parts there are no cheap lower end versions of the movement you can canibalize for spare parts, so buying spares won't be cheap.

My King Seiko 45-7001 has been excellent since I got it from another anon who posts in these threads a couple of years ago.

>>15013294
Easily the best movement finishing you'll see in the industry at their pricepoint. Boring designs, but they are executed fairly well. When I handled a few in person the external finishing didn't look cheap, just boring.

Their more expensive DUW movement powered watches are pretty neat, and they get bonus points in my eyes for investing the significant money required to develop the capability to design and manufacture complete movements in-house (which is a very expensive proposition to do fromt he ground up in the post-quartz era).

>>15013560
Not necessarily. Old solder has a longer lifespan than modern solder.

>>15013503
Nice find!

>>15013660
any idea on what a regular service cost could be for these vintage models? should i take it to my local seiko boutique?

Holy shit vintage watches are so much better looking than anything new. How likely am I to get fucked buying a vintage chronograph on ebay? Obviously would avoid third world sellers

Should I drop 6g on this? also I'm only 23 and worried about perception tbqh

>>15013749
Watches are a waste of money.

>>15013749
>worried about perception tbqh
stop being a fag and buy what you want

>>15013754
I can afford it no problem but am still apprehensive about spending 6k on a watch, biggest watch purchase I've made was my Seamaster and that was $1600. Maybe I'll wait till I'm 25

>>15013759
>I can afford it no problem
Do you have any outstanding debts?
Mortage, car loan, student loan etc.
Those should be your priority at your age.

>>15013763
No outstanding cc debt, no car payment, no student loans, etc. Rent is $1000 a month. Currently maxing Roth IRA and putting 16% income into roth 401k. Most other money goes into my brokerage account.

So everything else is spent on food alcohol and hobbies.

>>15013771
just ask daddy for the sub

>>15013771
go for it breh

>>15013294
The new inhouse stuff is intriguing and the movement finishing is best in its price point but I will never for 2 reasons:
1. They look much better in pictures than in person. This goes for a lot of shit, sure, but it's never hit me as hard as with this brand. Truly lackluster when held in hand.
2. Stasi bitch ceo forces her workers to attend workshops to force them to accept musilm "refugees" in their neighborhoods, basically tutorials to prepare them to be more accepting of the inevitable rapes, tax hikes to pay for gibs and all the crime and other heinous shit that's followed unchecked immigration of 3rd worlders into first world countries all over Europe and the US.
Bitch could have stayed out of the whole virtue signalling bullshit and just focused on making watches but noooooooooooo, that apparently was too much for her and she was compelled to meddle in the political lives of the factory employees and the surrounding region. Thought Crime is not allowed at Nomos, and you have to accept unquestioningly the care and feeding of Achmed the 32 year old "13 year old" after he rapes and mutilates your daughter, ditches the body and is acquitted by a lefty judge because "he didn't know raping, torturing and murdering women woz wong sowwy :( that's what we do in my culture don't be cultural insensitive you racist!!"

Nomos?
Just "No---"

>>15013749
That's a very low key rolex, you can wear it with most people don't even knowing what it is.

>>15013850
That's my though process, obviously it's cheaper than say a Sub and more inconspicuous

>>15013855
That thing is hideous. The face looks like shit the bezel looks like some cheap 10 dollar Walmart watch garbage. If you are going to buy a cheaper Rolex get an Oyster Perpetual.

>>15013838
Nomos kinda sounding based now.

>>15013749
Get the explorer I. It looks better and can be dressed up or down unlike the II.

>>15013886
Yeah the explorer I looks 100x better.

>>15013886
hmmm didn't consider that. Seems less expensive too

>>15013855
So is a Pelagos and it’s a better dive watch (who cares) than a sub.

>>15013889
It’s a glorious looking watch. Super understated, excellent movement. I wish they still did one with numbers like the 1016, and if you are into vintage those are likely good investments.

I heard some rumors that a few years ago there was some panerai fakes floating around that were literally indistinguisable from the real deal, since they both used off the shelf ETA movements. Can anyone confirm?

>>15013673
I wonder: are quartz movements subject to capacitor rot? t. differentfag

>>15013886
>>15013892
another reservation I have about getting a Rolex is that'll I'll never want to wear my Omega anymore. It has sentimental value so I don't want to sell, but i feel I'll always want to wear my nicest watch. This already happens with my Omega, I never want to wear my Tag anymore. anyone else feel this way?

>>15013924
I guess it depends. It doesn't happen to me because I have watches for different purposes. One thing you could do is put an explorer on a leather strap and it's your "dress" watch, while your Omega stays on a bracelet and it's a sports watch. Or vis versa. I have a Seiko shitter that I wear most days, a ProTrek when I'm in the mountains and want an altimeter and a vintage JLC for when I'm dressed up for some reason. I've been considering an Explorer I to replace the Seiko at work and in social settings and keep the Seiko when I'm in the wood shop or gardening, working on the car/house etc.

Obviously you could do all of the above with an Explorer or an Omega Seamaster, and a GPS but that's a different mode. If you are a one watch person than just keep the Omega for it's sentimental value and give it to your kid when that happens.

>>15013838
Sauce?

>>15013896
A good way to avoid this is don't ever buy a Panerai. Win Win.

>>15013939
solid advice

>>15013687
>any idea on what a regular service cost could be for these vintage models?
An independent watchmaker should charge around $150 to service a three hander movement.

>should i take it to my local seiko boutique?
Vintage watches should *never* be brought to a jewelry store or authorized repair centre for service as those places do not typically have the knowledge of how to work on vintage watches. Most will refuse outright, but even those that will accept will usually end up replacing parts left and right thereby destroying the originality and value of a vintage piece.

For vintage watches you need an independent watchmaker with experience working on vintage watches. You'll have to use Google and message boards to try and find one in your area.

>>15013924
I don't wear nice things because I'm handsome and rich already that it makes half the people I meet seethe

I have to pretend humble so that they won't outright hate me because I'm obviously better than them

>>15013704
>How likely am I to get fucked buying a vintage chronograph on ebay?
If you don't do your research first? I'd but your odds of getting ripped off at about 105-110%. The vintage watch world is FULL of crooks looking for low information buyers to pawn off hunks of shit on.

Before you even consider trying to buy a vintage watch you should be doing enough research into the model(s) your interested in to be able to independently evaluate their condition, originality, and market value for yourself. This is the only way to protect yourself against being taken advantage of.

Why are most vintage watches on eBay from third world shitholes?

anybody know anything about this shitter?

i like the look of the 5513 but dont wanna pay that much or buy some shitty homage. any recommendations for something like pic related that is different enough to not be a direct copy but still has the general aesthetic?

>>15014050
I would prefer a Soviet golden wristwatch from 1976 , like a Пoлeт, because I was born in USSR in 1976, but they look like ass.

>>15013855
Held one yesterday and it looks great. Would go for the black dial myself, white stands out a bit too much for me. Solid watch, but not very versatile.

Get this out of your head. Stop chasing our german meme trash or the even more overpriced swiss crap. You could get an expensive watch by saving up for it but it's not worth it. Get hommages. Most people like watches for the design and not the machanism. So do i. Enjoy quartz and don't spend too much money on this bullshit.

Thank you, appreciated. Now the rest of this board needs to understand it. The fun thing is that poeple who own expensive watches but didn't struggle to get them are chill and don't say stupid shit. Well not always. But thos who struggle and not even own the watch are the ones to defend some crappy company, just because bein financially realistic for them is like facing some grim reality for them.

Kind of ok. Doesnt look any worse than Cartier "must" series, that are quartz btw.

>>15013157
nice job anon, hope your new companion serves you well

also that is a shitty photo

I recently bought a vintage shitter that I really like. How much should I expect to pay for a general maintenance service, provided that the watch works but I'd like to get it polished to get rid of scratches etc?

>>15014518
What is the point of buying a parnis when you can spend the same amount on an Orient/Seiko/Citizen and get a better watch? Is looking like a knockoff Rolex really worth that much to you? I know you're memeing but I genuinely don't get the craze around the AliExpress specials.

You won't get solid links and a glide lock extension bracelet and screwed links for that money from any other company for that price.
The movement is solid too and if i'm not mistaken you even have a warranty when you buy directly from parnis. So if it shits the bed you'll get your money back.

Quite a simple 17 jewels movement. (That’s not mine watch in pic though, I don’t know the condition mine is but it keeps time, so I guess it’s not that bad). I could also just opt for polishing the case and glass if servicing fully an <$100 shitter is not worth it. What would be cost of that?

Ok so im going to buy some cheap ass replicas to resell for a profit. Like fake Seikos, orient... Normies can't tell the difference so...
Whats the best website for this?
20€ max.

>>15014576
A used one I'm assuming? If it keeps you happy then go for it, but if you're spending $150 on a new parnis diver I feel like you'll get twice the watch if not more out of an Orient Mako 2/Ray for $30 more and you're not pretending to own something that you don't.

>>15014561
Parnis watches just use unregulated Chinese clones of Seiko, Miyota and ETA movements. I've heard people say decent things about their bracelets (though that glide lock mechanism looks like chincey garbage from your photo if I'm being honest). The $144 you're spending on their website is getting you at best a decent bracelet on a totally junk watch with a knock off of the lowest end automatic Miyota that Citizen group makes. They don't even use a real 8215 like they advertise, and that's a movement that wholesale is like $14-$20 unregulated and they won't even use a real one of those. I'm not saying you need to spend an arm and a leg on something you don't like, but if you're going to get Chinese junk, at least get better Chinese junk than that. If you're happy with it, do whatever floats your boat but I'm not interested in pretending that Parnis isn't total garbage for the money. Literally Invicta pro-divers put those things to shame.

That's not a Mako 2. Mako 2's have Arabics at 12, 6, and 9. If you like the Parnis bracelet more then good for you, but I genuinely think that's more of a cope than anything else.

>>15014629
I didn't buy one, that's just some pic from the net and it seems to be just dirty. New ones look better.
I can't really sa much about the movement. I never considered it enough to get one and try.
133€ is too much for them, you're right. They raised their prices. I remember them being 80€
But the other guy said he got one for 40 bucks. That's a price where i woud get one and try out how long works.

>>15014657
>Calling mako a shitter
>using shitter as if it's a bad word

Fuck off, newfag.

>>15014668
Yeah, the $40 that the other guy said he paid for it is definitely worth the while. I just genuinely feel that if you're already spending $130-150 on a Parnis, spend a little more and get a Tissel, Phoibos, Orient, Seiko, literally anything else in that under $300 price range. You'll get a watch that will last you significantly longer while still being a fairly inexpensive purchase. Under $100 and a Parnis/Lorier isn't a bad purchase but if you're spending the $130-150 they go for new, you're just so much better of spending just a bit more elsewhere.

ST17? Either way it's an improved version of an old miyota movement.

Well I am going to enjoy my lunch. Goodbye friends. Have a good afternoon!

If we're being perfectly fair here the swiss had it coming when they put factories in China for watch movements

Hi retards! I'm also interested in Veblen goods. Let's bully each other into spending more on meaningless consumption

Old 99 have fragile date or day wheels and a lot of old ones are broken. There are cheap donors available. The crystals will have drifted significantly and you shouldn't expect better than about standard modern quartz accuracy (15spm) unless you're willing to try to regulate it. Regulating twin quartz is really hard.

Just got my first NATO strap (Bond). Honestly I don’t understand the hate they get here. They look sporty, are comfy, and are really easy to change. Already ordered a navy blue one

>>15014161
this is my next watch

anyone have experience with the BOR bracelet it comes on? is it shit? also anyone got the pic of the baltic actually underwater?

>>15014878

seriously thinking about copping a Parnis Hublot Classic Fusion knock off desu senpai

Are there any watches that are dressy yet fun?

>>15014881
Cry harder. It’s a nice watch

>>15014878
Dunno about the strap but I save any pic I see of an underwater dive watch. Looks like the black and white version

>>15013539
it was the first watch to be exhibited at MoMA, you tasteless pleb

Are there any mtf trannies that are actually women?

Any out of place costume and prop design on Narcos is overshadowed by the Mariachi band playing Eye of the Tiger and El Chapo dancing and shadow boxing to it.

What’s a good expensive watch brand that normies don’t know about? I want a nice mechanical watch but I don’t want plebs recognizing it.

>>15014976
Voutilainen.

>>15014976
Favre-Leuba
most normies have never heard of it and it's old as shit

>>15014976

Not the guy you're responding to but you can admit that most modern (i.e post-ww2) art is fucking garbage without throwing the baby out with the bath water.
There was good semi-original art movements even up until the late 1940's. It's really only post WW2 that things have really gone to shit with the few remaining shreds of good art coming primarily from homages to previous artistic movements such as the 21st century revival of neoclassicism (neo-neoclassicism lmao), and neo-minimalism , neo-brutalism now with plexiglass etc. I actually kind of like movados as just a piece of something on your wrist but they're not particularly functional watches if you care about more than just a hyper-minimalist but conspicuously consumerist aesthetic. Basically it's all the aesthetic sense and status signaling of an Apple watch but none of the utility.

>>15014979
>>15014982
Those aren't brands, they are independents.

To be honest most plebs don't even know about Patek, Vacheron or Lange.

>>15014992
>To be honest most plebs don't even know about Patek, Vacheron or Lange.
Everyone knows those names

>>15014992
I'm sure the anon asking wasn't so pedantic that he'd exclude independents from suggestions.

>>15014976
Literally any watch that's not talked about by a rapper unless you consider 3/4s of watch enthusiasts to be normies too. Most normal people barely know anything more than Rolex, Fossil Group, Casio, Citizen and Movado. If you get anything else from H Moser to V.C. to Lange nobody will know what it is except for watch people and you'll have parted with enough money to make a deposit on a cheap house.

>>15014684
Pretty fucking based
Post pics

>>15014994
Patek maybe but you're giving normies too much credit if you think they know about VC or ALS. I'd say AP too but the Royal Oak has got too much Instagram attention in the last few years.

>>15014994
Everyone interested in watches know their names. Most people who sell watches don't even know "The Holy Trinity". If you think I'm kidding go to a random Jewelery store in the closest mall and see if they know anything beyond citizen/Seiko/bulova/fossil and Rolex.

>>15014964
Good taste fren, now lose some weight and shave.

>>15014992
Out of the ones I named, only herr Dufour & and the Akrivia brothers don't have a team. There rest of those "independents" have watchmakers building watches under their name, even Kari. But fine, if you really want a brand, H. Moser & Cie.

>>15015122
yes, they all look fake
hence why I am only buying a rolex with its papers

>>15015114
Nigger you keep shilling ebay posts saying you'll buy them when you can't even afford any of them you fucking slav piece of shit.

chink mad

you guys are the niggers for buying fakes without papers

>>15015158
That's not expensive. You'll have to stick to brands like Longines or Tudor.

>>15015130
That means nothing. People fake the paperwork all the time.

>>15015184
This. There was a post on the Rolex forum exposing a franken Double Red Sea-Dweller with the fake case re-engraved to match the serial from the papers the scammer bought off of eBay.

>>15015203
Well, I sure as shit ain't buying a Rolex without original papers

>>15015213
Nigger can you read? The guy had a fake Sea-Dweller with a serial matching the original papers. Scammer had the serials re-engraved on the fake case. It was a Franken so it had a genuine Rolex movement. You would have been fooled if it wasn’t spotted by someone.

>>15014158

Yeah this is why I gave up on getting it even though I really love it. Just going to get a G-Shock and an Explorer 36mm instead.

>>15015223
Yes but there was that extra scamming extra effort, which is worth something.

>>15015227
What?

>>15015232
Fake papers

>:-)

>>15015234
Original papers bought from eBay otherwise why re-engrave the fake case?

>Sold out

How hard would it be to acquire one without getting gouged?

is it just me. or does that look disturbingly like like a g-shock, in that photo at least.

>>15015342
Easy, wait like a month for them to make more you instant-gratification requiring nigger

Would you rather buy a high end model "cheap" brand, or a entry tier model of a rolex?

High end Omega or a basic Rolex?

>>15015488

Relatively cheap desu. Save up for a few months. Wish I could afford a Dufour or a Journe.

>>15015488
Just buy 14 of the next trendy Western designed and marketed but Chinese assembled microbrands instead. Why have 1 watch you love when you can instead endlessly chase the rush of artificially imposed scarcity in the pre-order phase of some watch on Kickstarter?

>>15015563
Its been on my list for a little while, things just keep coming up that I can better justify spending my money on. Maybe I'll get my raise in June and can treat myself.

>>15013157
looks really nice anon. You're making me consider putting a green strap on my Casio Duro with that look.

>>15013749
ExpII flies under the radar really well. Nobody really picks it out unless they know a little something about watches. Don't listen to these poor faggots talking about dressing up and down. A stainless Rolex on a bracelet is as dressy as anything can be in 2020.

Parnis using Miyota Automatic Movement/SeaGull Mechanical Movement versus Caliber 3825. Parnis using 316L Steel versus Rolex 904L steel.

why breitling is lame?

>>15015640
I find them lame but they have this small figure at their headquarters in Schweiz land “guarding the entrance from the Chinese” so that’s kind of based.

Solid gold Rolex real old style with papers.
Too bad I'm not a fan of the old fart style but this is a good deal.

>>15015603

Mein Gott, you call that taste? I’m not impressed with any of the garbage bargain-bin finds you’ve posted. If it doesn’t have any anglage, it ain’t worth shit. So go ahead, please continue posting those cheap machine-finished shitters, I’ve already filtered you.

the new ones are overpriced and have lost the charm of the line...good for the money and a gateway to mechanical watches but get boring over time, try to find a vintage one with 70s vibe.

>>15015740
Not a fan of those stubby hour marks

>>15014723
It looks like any other Rolex homage, just like Sea-Gull, Invicta, Alpha, Steinhart, Pagani. You're trying to show it off like somehow you think you gamed the system by buying a cheaper Rolex "homage." You aren't really fooling any watch enthusiast

>>15015573

>>15015740
>the new ones are overpriced and have lost the charm of the line

Some of the new ones are downright hideous and I hate that they replaced the "5" shield with some mangled version of the "S" kids would write everywhere in high school. I hope it's not the case for the entire Seiko 5 line.

When you put these side by side the patek looks kinda lacklustre huh. Just look at the perlage vs the vacheron for example
