Definitely pricey at $1700 and much more than I'd like to spend, but I love the dial...Cop?

>>15095254
Red dials are pretty uncommon, if you like it then go for it

>Grand Honda
>Grand McDonald’s
>Grand Seiko
>Grand Tissot
>Grand G-Shock
>Grand Fossil
>Grand Diesel
>Grand Invicta
>Grand Cope

I'm looking for a watch like this but with antiqued bronze frame instead of lucid gold.
I'd like all the same features if possible, otherwise minimal hour dial is fine enough as long as it's black on white or bronze on white, or anything you think is a good alternative.
Leather strap would be the best, lucid buffalo or a material with a similar feel.
Mechanic, wind up is alright.

Budget 100 USD (not reseller price of course). Don't tell me it's impossible because this one has all the features listed above and costs less than 50, but it's not bronze and that's why I don't want it.

>antiqued bronze
^or antiqued brass too, it doesn't need to be an expensive metal as long as it looks the same.
For reference this is antiqued brass, antique bronze is similar with a red shift to it, I like both.

>>15095128
>Rolex 4113.
Well, fuck me sideways and call me Shelby, a Rolex that I actually dig!
Probably because it looks like the awsome Strela. Seems like the rolex is from back in the days when they were and actually good brand, so I suppose the Russkies copied that design?

>>15095281
>Loads of complications
>Open heart
>$100
Lol.
Not possible.

So, with the coming recession, and with aliExpress having their anniversary sale soon, what's a cool recession-watch off of aliExpress I should cop?
Tempted by this shitter.

>>15095275
That's not even a grand seiko you smooth brain, it's just a seiko. "Grand Quartz" is the model name. Caring this much about brand name is the true blue pill

>>15095296
Then what watch is there with same features above 100?

>>15095295
>>Rolex 4113.
OK, I'll pass:
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/everything-you-need-to-know-about-million-dollar-rolexes
(for now).
Also, probably older and much bigger (44mm in 1942!) than the Strela. But still quite similar looks. Well, at least I can afford the Strela, should I have a need for some gold numerals chrono.

>>15095305
add another zero (or two…) and then you can start to get those things.
But even from a "respected" manufacturer, I think those are really hard to pull off without looking like spoiled new money.
What fit are you going for?

36mm blue face datejust with the oyster bracelet and dome bezel. What do you guys think? Been saving for a year for my first good watch and so far have 3 grand saved already. Another year or so to go. Also I have skinny 6 3/4” wrists, hence 36mm.

>>15095312
If you have to save that long to get a measly 3k, you probably shouldn't spend it on some meaningless piece of jewelry. Get your life in order first.

>>15095312
If you're going steel bezel and oyster bracelet you may as well get an oyster pereptual instead and save yourself £1500

>>15095311
Why is it so rare? the Chinese ones sell in the hundreds, even the ones with fake dials.
The style I wanted to go with is a custom vintage, I'm getting inspiration from steampunk. I found many cheap antiqued brass watches but they have either shit design of the main dial or don't have the right kind of strap or have fake dials which I don't like at all.

>>15095338
>or don't have the right kind of strap
You know straps are changeable, right?

>>15095341
I know but when you're buying cheap Chinese watches, high changes are that they made it so that it cannot be changed (or the bars break when you try).

>>15095345
>high changes [sic] are that they made it so that it cannot be changed
Objectively false, and even if the spring bars break they are pennies to replace. New straps will often come with a free pair

>>15095281
>Budget 100 USD (not reseller price of course). Don't tell me it's impossible because this one has all the features listed above and costs less than 50,
Yeah and it might even run for a few weeks before seizing up completely

>>15095345
You have no clue what you're talking about

>>15095353
>>15095362
I bought 3 Chinese watches before, all below 10 USD budget and when I tried to remove the straps in 2 of them, the thin metallic bar that holds the strap to the main frame broke, twice. I know I don't have the tools to handle watches or know all about watches but this shit is weak, it's like paper.

>>15095387
>I broke something by pulling on it like a moron instead of using the extremely inexpensive purpose built tool I needed
cool story bro

>>15095387
>I bought 3 Chinese watches before, all below 10 USD
Assuming this isn't a typo, what the fuck did you expect to happen for $10, for it to not fall apart in your hands?
>when I tried to remove the straps in 2 of them, the thin metallic bar that holds the strap to the main frame broke
They are called spring bars and you can buy 360 for $7 on amazon. Maybe try not being a hamfisted gorilla who pulls them straight out
>I know I don't have the tools to handle watches or know all about watches

Man I want a kanji day/date king quartz.

>>15095423
https://m.imgur.com/a/NFMXDuK
Still feels like its missing stuff

Yeah I think pic related is my favourite vintage chronograph movement. It's bizzare that there are basically no other chronographs that merge the chronograph mins and hours together on a single subdial

>>15095467
Almost all king quartz will have a kanji day setting

>>15095491
If you can get over the nautilus' ugly design

>>15095415

>>15095416

What reference # is this? I've never seen a Seiko like this.

>>15095613
movement is 7016a I dunno about the specific ref

>>15095613
If only the reference were literally printed on the dial at 6 o'clock, like almost every other Seiko.

>>15095613
It's a 7016 and they're pretty cool. Single register flyback chrono

>>15095632
Not him but it's impossible to read from the picture

>>15095639
It's literally not, plus the filename has 7016 in it.

one on the right is $500 more, is the movement really that much of an improvement?

>>15095646
You're right, it's incredibly easy to see this says 7016. It's also immediately obvious that the reference number is not 70164 and the last digit needs to be deleted to find it

>>15095665
Yes.

>>15095665
it is, the v115 is a kind of a movement too small for that case, meanwhile the 8J is a high end jewelled movement. the solar dial is a sickly transparent plastic, if you stare at it too long you will be able to see the solar cell underneath, the dolce has a metal textured dial. on top of that the indice and hands finishing is beter on the dolce.

Someone that actually uses a Nautilus as intended.

>>15095702
>>15095676
thanks. the dolce is something I have my eye on to save up for, really like the simplicity and black/silver combination but when I saw they made another watch so similar I had to ask

>>15095728
wow he wears an expensive piece of jewelry instead of making money off of it, he's my hero we should all be like him! i want to be just like him when i wage slave my way up to buying something as prestigious as a patek (am i allowed to say patek out loud? i don't believe i have the privilege of doing so just yet) this is so exciting

>>15095312
Make it fluted bezel & jubilee and that's my favourite Rolex.

Architecture fag here, try and use "contemporary" when talking about recent/new architecture, modern refers to the modernist movement of the 40s-80s. Both of which were shit bar a few notable exceptions

a handsome everyday watch, and one of the few (maybe only?) frequently rec'd cheap sub-$200 watches that doesn't look or feel that cheap imo. but despite the minimal dial, i don't think it works as a dress watch tho if that's what you plan on using it for

>>15096521
Ebay. These things are cheap and truckloads were made in the USSR, they are easy to find.
It's a popular one though, so beware of the many, many (many) "modded" ones with different dials, cases, hands, etc. They come in black, white or grey dials with a simple grainy texture and this round case. Anything else was probably assembled in an ukrainian sweatshop to trick decadent western capitalist pig dogs.

I really like this watch

Don't you think it's fantastic to be able to buy some old vintage watch that some else used? Think about everything that watch has seen, maybe it belonged to a salaryman that spent countless nights away from home, maybe having a romance or maybe it was in the wrist who's hand killed someone, isn't it beautiful?

https://youtu.be/kQYGGb6cmBw?t=81

What's this watch, is it a Breitling?

>>15096774
Based Igor, did you ever buy a vintage airking? I remember you were posting about buying one a couple months back before everyone started shitting on you for being a namefag.

They're solid but they have 19mm lug width which is fucking stupid.

>>15096967
>19mm lug width
did they change on newer ones? i have a gen1 v1 with the equally retarded 21mm lug width

Irregular lug width is so gay. Seiko Flightmaster has some dumb lug width too.

>>15096981
I was just wrong and meant 21mm too. I heard they changed it to 22mm in the newer versions. Should have gone in the other direction and done a 20mm band and decreased the case size to 39 or so. The real weakness of the Bambino was always the proportions

>>15096046

>>15095632
The reference usually is not, but the movement is. So maybe don't be a dick.

Will covid affect the used watch market?

I wash my hands so much at work that I got my casio full of water.
I don't want to be looking at my phone for the time. Someone put me on to the Seiko SVBR003.
I kind of dig it but I feel like maybe it's too much of an affectation.

>>15097173
If you work in essential industry just get a g shock. I stopped wearing my watch a month ago because it gets in the way of washing my hands.

>>15096960

>>15097177
I'm too much of a wristlet for a g-brick on my arm and I reckon it would get in the way.

Thoughts on Tissot gentle man 80? Does the Tissot pr100 look as cheap as it does in pictures?

>>15097186
The classic square g shocks are about the smallest that they make and they fit quite nicely on smaller wrists.

I just took apart the f-91w that was getting water in it. I have never done this before I always paid someone else to change the battery. There is rust inside it especially on the battery. One button had ceased to work but it looks like that part of the device does actually still work and hopefully the button works when it goes back together. A thing I noticed: the rubber seal inside seemed to be snagged and not put fully back. I am wondering if the reason water got in was someone failed to put this piece back in properly?

>>15097173
Get a water resistant watch, dummy. Casio makes at least one cheap dive watch.

>>15097252
f-91w is water resistant.

>>15097231
Yeah if the person replacing the battery is a monkey it's likely. Also repeated battery changes or opening the gasket in many watches requires a new rubber o-ring at some point

>>15097259
Any tips for getting a new o-ring cheaper than a new watch? After realizing I have been paying more for battery replacements than new watches I'd like to learn to do this all myself.

>some expensive skeleton watch that cost some McDonalds wagie's annual salary. He whines at least once a year to me that no one notices his watch and whenever a watch is being praised near him it's some shitty fashion watch.
Lol, seriously?
Who on earth get's a skeleton watch, besides folks buiying some sub100 china shitters? Even a "good" one is going to look weird at best to most folks.
As much as I hate them, but if you wanna get noticed for your watch, you simply get a Rolex and be done with it.

There are some people who think things like skeleton watches are the coolest thing ever because they want to see the mechanical stuff happening all the time. Whenever I see those I think it's just a bitch to tell the time at a glance but whatever, it's their money.

Oh, I absolutely can understand the appeal behind skeleton watches, and yeah, I too like to see what makes it tick, but it makes it impossible to quickly tell the time, so I don't bother. Also, it looks really tryhard…
Display caseback > normal caseback > skeleton
But if someone enjoys it, why not? I just don't get it why one would use such a watch as an attention seeker.

>>15097253
There's various grades. The basic resistance you get on a watch labeled "water resist" is usually really minimal in practice and cannot necessarily deal with more than superficial splashes. This is why getting a watch designed specifically to resist water better may be sensible if you are putting your hands near water all the time.

>>15097575
This.
Apparently, there's all kinds of bullshit going on with the ratings, but for anything that's not a dress watch that I can keep away from water, I'd never go below 50m water resistance.
And for manual labour or /out/, 100m is my minimum.

You absolutely should not be wearing a watch if you are out in some public facing job right now. If you have to get something like a gshock that you can scrub with rubbing alcohol at the end of the day. Watches are filthy and covered with bacteria and viruses at the best of times.

>>15097583
Unfortunately, this is true.
I'd extend that to wearing a watch at all, if you leave your house.

What did you blur out? Serial #? Did the previous owner engrave it?

So if you get one of these watches with the crazy complications like it tracks the starts or date for the next 100 years what happens if you let it stop running? How would you even set it again?

>>15098363
It's impossible. That's why when the five year or whatever service interval runs out and it has to be disassembled and cleaned, they just throw it away.

>>15098363
Are you talking about perpetual calendars?
If you let it stop running just set the time like any other watch. Wtf kind of question is this?
The problem with perpetual calendars is if some cunt gets a hold of your watch and sets it to december 1st 2073 or something. Then you have to take it back to the manufacturer and they have to take it apart and reset it to the correct date.

>>15098382
I meant to say one with the 100 year celestial complications or yeah perpetual dates.

>>15098382
>they have to take it apart and reset it to the correct date.
...no?

I don't know a single perpetual calendar that has to be opened to set. It's a pain, certainly, but by no means impossible.

>>15098386
It's pretty much a given that if you own one of these you have it on a winder any any moment you're not wearing it. You can let it stop running for a few days and just wind it forward, but any more than that is retarded.

>>15098400
You're gong to keep winding the crown as the time, day, date, month, moonphase and year roll by 50 years?
How many twists of the crown would that take?

>>15098404
If only perpetual calendar watches had correctors that allowed you to set them aside from just turning the crown.

>>15096232
That's way too overpriced, for that money you could get a nos with box and papers. A used one with replacement parts like in pic related you can get for 50-70bucks.
They literally bought it for like 30, added a 3 dollars chinese milanese mesh bracelet and are asking 200 for it...

Lol they deleted one of the pushers and just covered up the hole with a metal plate so they could use the same tooling for the case. Pretty sad for a watch that probably costs 3 grand.

>>15099214
theyre just fucking losers idk what to tell you, you guys werent kidding, like they all suck omegas cock so hard its insane

>>15099666
That's strange, I'd have expected them to suck Rolex cock.

r/watches is like "i WOULD get a rolex, but i dont want anyone to like me"

>>15099668
like not even omega in general, literally just the moonwatch

>>15099680
That's not a wholly reddit phenomenon though. The moonwatch gets dicksucked everywhere, including here.

>>15099682
the worst part is that the speedmaster really is a neat watch

>>15099685
It is. I sure wish Omemega would stop releasing 500 special editions of it though.

>>15099356
I really like the case design. Not a fan of most grand seikos, they kinda look like a weird oyster perpetual, but this is nice.

>>15099722
>they kinda look like a weird oyster perpetual,
nigga what the fuck are you talking about

>>15099356
love it, especially this grey model.

Extremely well-made, cool modern design, interesting and highly accurate quartz movement, etc.
The perfect luxury daily wearer.

>>15099595
Well, if they're really doing all this by hand, that's really quite impressive, but it doesn't change the fact that it looks like ass with all those tramp-stamp-dragons on it. Maybe good for Guy-Fieri-core, and that's it.
Also, turning a tool watch into an overprized luxury item is retarded.
That's like taking a diver, making it out of gold or adding jewels to it and selling it for 10k+, who on earth would do, yet even buy such crap… Oh, wait a second, never mind…

>>15099756
It's targeted towards asians. There is nothing asians love more than gaudy overdecorated overdesigned consumer goods sold at a 1000% markup.

>>15099756
>Also, turning a tool watch into an overprized luxury item is retarded.

>>15099686
>moonwatch
Such a shame. It's a pretty cool watch, both from the looks as well as the tech, and the history part is a cool bonus, but it's so annoying that they're overdoing it.
Like as if the fact that some early watch that shares literally maybe 5% of features with its modern brethren made it to the moon is some magical power. Sure, it's neat and interesting, but seriously, don't you have anything else that would make this watch desirable?
Still, I'd like to have one, as a space nerd, but I just kept my money and went with >>15099688
Does anyone know where to find the chink spacewatch? That would also interest me, and isn't so overplayed like the speedmaster.

>>15099761
Yeah, maybe I lack the understanding for le-epic-folded-1000-times foreign culture, but it's still a watch with tramp stamps on it. And unlike tramp-stamps, this ain't sexy.

Wouldn’t mind one in white. Where do you get them? Are they real or knockoffs?

>>15099846
i got mine from poljot24.de.
And "real", well decide for yourself:
https://strela-watch.de/
Of course it's not the original company anymore, using 100% the same parts, but I'd say it's as real as Ω's moonwatch. Ironically, they're now using a chinese movement, which is closer to the original movement than the russian one they used before that, so I'd call that a draw.

>>15099786
Should've had pencil hands / 10
If they had based the design on this they could have capitalised on the huge collectibility of the old lollipop seconds rolex/tudor refs, while staying "vintage inspired" instead of releasing exact copies of old models

>>15099903
Here's a super shitty concept I threw together on my ipad. Dial from the "Black Bay One" one off they did in a bb36 case

>>15099331
Amphibia 120 I’ll post it when it gets here

>>15099846
every strela watch is "real" in the same way chinese seagulls and russian vostoks are real; the designs, mechanisms, and names arent protected or anything i dont think. if you want a "real" strela consider getting a vintage 3017 movement one (which itself isnt even real and is just a copy of venus 150 movement)

>>15099786
I dislike the unfortunately extremely common practice of wearing a watch with a diving bezel when not diving or at least sailing etc.
I know everyone does it but it just seems really tryhard to me like "I'm the kind of rugged individual who might find himself thrust into a naval adventure at any given moment, gotta be prepared. I also have several multi tools I never use in my pocket and an ankle-bracelet made of Paracord: you never know." except they don't even actually have that stuff, they're a dentist or a lawyer, but yet they see no projection inherent in wearing a diver. I just don't get it.
that said, I've always enjoyed the easy-to-read, uncluttered-with-numerals dial and hands of a diver. I guess I'm being contradictory but it's a separate issue to me.
so anyway, what I'm trying to say is I like this watch.

>>15100097
Most people just wear divers because they look cool and are tough. The timing bezel is also the most practical and easy to use complication after a date window

>tfw all Rolexes and sporty luxury watches just remind me of being locked in the gym with my mom for hours as a kid
I guess it’s the shitter life for me

>>15100120
yeah, I think the utility of the bezel is nice, and there are a few divers I've seen with really thin, understated bezels and I appreciate those because it's a concession to making an every-day, stylish-but-tough watch that is just a diver in name only.
but a dive watch is a purpose-built, utilitarian style where everything is oversized and the bezel has giant teeth around it because you have to be able to see and grip it under water, your life depends on knowing at-a-glance how much oxygen is left in your tank and looks be damned. and most of the ones people buy because of your criteria (and yes, those are good criteria) still retain that super niche styling despite being for the casual market. that's my issue.

anyway, I'm obviously the only person in the world who this bothers but that's my opinion.

>>15099933
Based, I'd pay $500 for one.

>>15099723
Most of grand seikos pretty much have an oyster case and a dated 90's polished and brushed bracelet and of course that explorer 2 knock off.
That watch that was posted is much better in terms of design, beautiful lugs and a dial without a shitty power reserves.

>>15097534
if you want to get noticed for your watch then you should work on your personality t b h

Seikos distinguish the curvature of the lugs more as opposed to the slab-like Rolex case

Real divers use diving computers and bring dive watches just for fun, the only people who don't while underwater are those doing scuba.

>>15100097
What's the problem? I use my Invicta's dive bezel to time when I should change out an action camera's battery. (it's about 40 minutes each.) That's legit as it gets aside from actually diving to fucking 180 meters.

>>15100097
The watch in the pic you spazzed out over doesnt even have a diving bezel.

>>15100367
You'd be surprised at how well 34-36mm watches sit on a man's wrist.

>>15100770
just get a seiko SARB which is around 350 dollars and then swap out the bracelet for the leather strap of your choice (probably brown).

>>15100764
>that crown
Why.

>>15100770
Vostok Amphibia 710 case. But yourself a pebbled leather strap that matches the dial

>>15100780
Because old submariners had large crowns without guards, which is where the black bay takes most of its design cues from.

>>15100780
big crown and no guards lets you grab the crown easily with gloves on. these watches started as tool watches

So if something I want to buy in an auction it's for example $15 can I make a bid for like $40 and if no one else bids I will be only paying $15.50?

I'm trying to see how much will the price jump in the last seconds, if something costs $10 and in the last 10 seconds someone bids $30 and I also bid $40 I end up paying $31 or $40?

>>15100818
>So if something I want to buy in an auction it's for example $15 can I make a bid for like $40 and if no one else bids I will be only paying $15.50?
Yes, ebay man. You do not pay your max bid, that's just the maximum you are willing to pay. If you bid a lot but end up overbidding by 500 dollars you don't pay the difference

>>15100822
Oh I see so in the last seconds I should bid with all the money I'm willing to spend right? and if someone else bids something lower than me I will just be paying slightly above their price right?

>>15100828
Yeah I do it all the time. Pretty much ignore the auction until the last 5 minutes then sit there with the bid window open and your top bid typed in, then hit submit with 2 seconds left.

>>15100831
Ok thanks anon

>>15100780
Big crowns look amazing.

>>15100816
at least both of those are serviceable. Imagine buying an unserviceable mechanical watch

>>15100862
I think the idea behind the sistem51 is that by the time you need to get it serviced or repaired you will have moved on to a much better watch.

>>15100863
If you're insinuating that its a starter/ gateway watch there are much better and much cheaper alternatives. You could buy a vostok amphibia, a vostok komanderskie, and a seiko 5 for less than the price of a gimmickey swatch irony sistem51

>>15100874
The entire Swatch brand is a gimmick, if people want to buy a gimmick watch that's up to them.

And i'm allowed to criticize them for it

>>15100912
Those overly gold plated watches always look really cheap and the straight up box look is not good with gold. The crown extends out way too far too.

What’s the watch equivalent to these? These are cheap but still a great classic design that speaks for itself. Extremely simple and comfy. A design that has not changed yet still is wildly popular from conventional standpoint

it's a citizen eco drive so it's solar, never have to worry about it, has a more unique aesthetic than the typical timex field watch, and citizen is a quality brand with good build quality so it won't feel like chintzy chinese shit like most timexes

Swatch looks kind of gay on a first impression

The whole concept behind Swatch is that it's a goofy fun watch to wear when you don't want to use your typical watch but it's not a dress watch situation. The name even means "second watch." They are gay and flashy and weird on purpose.
I don't like them but I think they were primarily for women and teens.

Timex once had genuine heritage and every part of every Timex watch was American made. Now they just slap a shitty Chinese quartz movement in a Chinese case and sell these rattling fucking shit watches that have the bare minimum of thought put into them. When they actually put out something good it's still using Chinese movements and is massively overpriced anyway like their American Documents series or their new vintage reissues. The Q for instance is 200 dollars for some 70s-looking watch with crappy build quality using a Chinese quartz movement. This is Swiss tier jewery and all they are doing is exploiting their history in the most lazy and cynical ways, scamming it, degrading it. Fuck Timex

You are paying 90 dollars for a watch that cannot handle falling into the sink and is made of plastic. Could just get a G-Shock for the price and have a far superior watch that is actual MILSPEC. Every time you use the indiglo it depletes the battery, which you must do as the watch has no passive luminescence.
