/fa/ - Fashion

Waiting for the Rolex prices to come down!

I dress smart casual most of the time, can I wear my reverso with Jean's, tshirt and trainers?

any recommendation for a similar looking watch?

First for nomos.

Where does Tissot lie on the spectrum of watch brands?

>>15130239
I'd like this:

- steel (or titanium etc.) non-dress watch, rugged-looking, race/pilot/field/diver aesthetics
- 42mm or less (nothing excessively small though)
- 100m+ water resistance
- black dial
- no cut numerals
- preferably with a chrono
- tachy or diver bezel
- display case back with a nice looking movement
- under 5k
- respectable brand that normies won't disparage

What am I looking for, /wt/?

>>15130270
>100m+ water resistance
>preferably with a chrono
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

>>15130270
Chrono + 100m+ water resist ... so you are looking for a quartz then?

any recommendations for a similar looking watch?

>>15130328
Rolex OP

>>15130265
Subtle.
I like it!

>>15130256
yeah

>>15130338
forgot to say sub 200

>>15130247
Why would they come down?

>>15130354
Just pay someone to upgrade the movement to the 4R36 or w/e

kino

>>15130256
Of course, mainly the stainless steel like pic related.

>>15130270
Like the other anons said...you should really decide, do you want a diver or a chrono?
Please don't buy a duck.

>>15130362
The proportions are kinda off. Sub second dial is big and the worst part is the oversize breguet hand, the huge circle looks terrible.
Reduce slightly the sub second dial, smaller circle in the hour hand and applied breguet numerals instead of painted and that watch is perfect.

>>15130386
it's not a breguet hand

>>15130270
I know there's a fucker memeing it to shit right now on /wt/ but unironically, a black Strela with a Poljot 3133.
It ticks every box except the WR.

>>15130390
>- respectable brand that normies won't disparage

>>15130239
I summon Casiofags

>>15130389
The hour hand looks like a breguet hand to me, just like the hour marks.
Now if you wanna fight a technicality, I don't know if you're right... regardless that's beyond the point that I was making.

>>15130274
Yes?
>>15130315
No?
>>15130374
Why? Pretty much every Sinn chrono has 200m resistance... is this really something that doesn't exist in respectable brands?
https://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/103_St.htm
This for example.

>>15130411
this one is good since it's a quartz dive watch, makes the automatic fags seethe

Very happy with this.

>>15130439
https://www.fortis-swiss.com/watches/space/stratoliner/all-black-le/
Or Fortis which has 100m and has screw down pushers...

Waiting on my cheap gmt amphibia. Been 3 days since it was released from Russia and no post updates :(

>>15130448

>>15130439
Sinn is a poor example because their whole thing is overbuilt, overengineered watches. That is not the norm. Chronographs are by nature finicky, fragile, and lacking in water resistance. It's why the Omega Speedmaster, a grail watch for many and the most iconic chronograph ever made, has 50M water resistance. They could make it have more, but it's not something people prioritize in a chrono.

>>15130439
There's absolutely no need for 100m water resistance unless you're diving with a watch

>>15130411
Reporting in.

>>15130457
https://old.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/fw4q2g/hamilton_condensation_inside_the_watch/

>>15130451
That actually clears things up a lot for me, thank you.

>>15130457
water resistance is practically meaningless unless it's 200m so you should care unless you like avoiding all forms of moisture while you wear the watch besides washing hands

>>15130315
My El Primero says 100m on the back, although I don't think I've ever submerged it in anything.

>>15130479
Based, what el primero? Listing after a 38mm with the correct subdial overlaps

>>15130390
>a black Strela with a Poljot 3133.
>It ticks every box except the WR.
Why the Poljot movement? The Seagull might even be the nicer one, and while obviously not russian, it apparently is technically closer to the original movement. Also not sure if you can get the Poljot one with a display caseback. And the Seagulls are 50mWR (or even 100? But I don't think so and am too lazy to look it up).
>>15130401
Normies won't know anyways, unless it's Casio, Timex, DW, Fossil, Armani, Boss, Omega or Rolex, and it's as respectable as any of them, if not more so.

>>15130478
Water Resistance of of 200m is meaningless too unless it has a Diver mark. If not, I can put any WR mark on a watch I want. The only requirement is I sample test watches to that depth. There is no standard for how many I have to sample test, and there is also no standard for how many have to pass.

If *your* watch pressure tests to 50m, you can confidently wear it snorkeling. I've had "200m" watches that didn't pass a 3m pressure test.

>>15130479
Does it have a screw-down crown? If not, I wouldn't believe it. 100M means you can go surface swimming with it, which I really fucking doubt is safe for any watch that doesn't screw the crown down.

>>15130411
There's watches that look good on a textile strap, and there's watches dat thon't. Yours is in the latter cathegorie.

>>15130496
not him but I find that it gives that watch a very utilitarian look.

>>15130493
Plenty of watches with 100m WR don't have a screw down crown. A screw down crown doesn't have a meaningful impact on rated depth (and a non-Diver 100m mark doesn't actually guarantee anything), it just makes it less likely for the crown to be accidentally pulled while underwater.

any opinions on the Poljot okean? where would be a good place to look to buy one. I want to get a russian watch collection going.

>>15130270
I have this thing coming in the mail. Seagull automatic movement with the caseback so less than $500. Store says its 10ATM, I don't believe it. It's a German homage brand styling the watches after the Soviet cosmonaut watches, normies wouldn't even know it

>>15130514
It's so hideous it wraps back around to being nice looking.

>>15130448
I bought my scuba dude from meranom and took a couple of weeks.
Buying from Russia is the same thing as buying something directly from China, it's always a surprise the delivery time.
Regardless 3 days is nothing, plus the current situation with Corona won't hell either.

>>15130267
Mall shitter...but it's swiss. They have a pretty cheap chronometer, though.

Why would this cost 3.5k? What kind of a brand is this?

>>15130647
fortis is a respectable brand with aviation history and a high spec chronograph isn't something that can just be shat out. considering the swiss jew tax 3.5k is pretty much normal

>>15130657
LMFAO what, never heard of it.

https://www.watch-rankings.com/watch-rankings/ puts it into a category below Omega so it's confirmed to be a noname shitter, and Speedmaster is also 3.5k so what the fuck.

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG

>>15130659
Does the speedmaster have 200m water resistance, because that thing does.

>>15130659
Who could trust a ranking list that puts Patek Phillipe next JLC? They're both swiss and expensive, but that's about it.
>>15130672

TWELVE ONE TWO

This is Vin Diesel's watch. The name is just a coincidence.

>>15130687
Do you actually use the Bluetooth functionality?

>>15130696
The Bluetooth functionality uses him.

>>15130696
Neh, I got the watch mainly for the solar feature and don't use the Bluetooth. I really don't have a need for it.

>>15130687
I get the gold, but what the fuck is with the other colours? Those look awful

>>15130710
Yeah i don't think I would use it either. I really like the red negative display. How is the readability outside?

Why doesn't the modern Speedy have this kind of dial?

>>15130767
is that benis on 12?

Should I get a Vostok Zissou?

>>15130774
Yes, its a watch for men with big cocks (like me)

>>15130711

Kinda agree on the orange one actually, though it has grown on me a bit. The Chrono is a bit large and the orange is a bit much. It was a gift though so I still wear and enjoy it. The red display on the G-Shock though I'm a huge fan of.

>>15130726

The readability is surprisingly good. Much better than I expected it to be.

Current collection, thinking I might go for AP 15450 next

>>15130775
Borderline. Supposedly Zissou's watch was created as a custom job by the props department, and the design was subsequently adopted by Vostok official. Since it's an explicit fan piece, the question seems to boil down to: did you like "the life aquatic" right down to at least casual cult movie level? (I thought it was right funny at times, with the constant lampshading of various genre film tropes and other confusing forthrightness.)

>>15130848
Normally I'd say 15202ST or bust, but a 37mm royal oak is fine too to be honest.

>>15130868
I like Bill Murray and Jack Cousteau
I don't like Wes Anderson but Life Aquatic was one of the movies by him I do like, though not as much as Rushmore and Grand Budapest Hotel

Redpill me on Swiss quartz watches, does QC even matter when you're talking about a quartz movement?

>>15130907
They will definitely care less

>>15130848
Great collection anon

Why is the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical so expensive? like x4 more than a Seiko 5 Sport, without a display back or day/date complication

>>15130918
It's Swiss.

>>15130767
It does? I'm no speedy expert but everything looks the same to me

>>15130848
Utterly haute. Only thing missing is a chrono imo, maybe consider something like pic?

>>15130907
It does for the parts that aren't the movement, but the best part about quartz is that it's easy to automate. CW and Junghans have quartz that are in similar cases to their automatics.

>>15130487
>Why the Poljot movement? The Seagull might even be the nicer one,
It's up to you, really. ST19 is probably going to be easier to maintain (by virtue of being currently manufactured) and might be closer to the original, but the 3133 is russian-made by Poljot (or its short-lived successor). They're both equally as "authentic" (as in: not at all).
You can definitely find the 3133 with glass caseback. It's also more expensive than the ST19.
Only necessary condition is to pick one with cyrillic markings. Latin ones are distateful.

>>15130514
It's nice but it's been going up in price and usually reaches inacceptable levels.

>Talking about swiss quartz without mentioning the VHP

So people say that quartz is much less affected by magnetism than mechanicals but how resistant to magnetism is it? I know that some of those antimagnetic Omega movements can survive going through an MRI, how tough is say a G-Shock 5600 compared to that?

>>15130880
i'd say if you like three Wes Anderson films, you like Wes Anderson. that's like 40% of his output

>>15131009
I really hate the ones I don't like though.

>>15131000
Who cares? How often are you getting MRIed that buying a magnet-proof Omega is more practical than just getting a new G-Shock every time? They're only like $40 a pop.

>>15131000
If you get a stupid strong magnetic force you can temporarily screw up a quartz until you pull the magnet off, and then it goes back to normal.

Here's a fun article about watches and magnetism:

Thanks, that really helped and was interesting.

Hi. I'm new to the hobby and want to start out a collection. It started when my dad gave me a Tag F1 (CAU2011.BA0873) as a graduation gift, and now I want to buy something to celebrate my first job. It seems simple at first (was only looking at Cartier, Omega, and Rolex to begin with), but the deeper I dived into it, instead of narrowing down my options, I was presented with more, and with each timepiece that becomes a want, the more excuses I tried to find for it to be the "one".

I might just be overthinking, but it feels like the first timepiece is a pretty heavy decision to make. Especially without a proper price range in mind. Here are some characteristics I've told myself I needed:

still deciding if pre-owned (a lot cheaper) or new (being the first owner of my first watch)

something opposite to my current one, looking to diversify, preferably a dress watch than I could wear casually (Cartier Tank Solo, Omega DeVille, Glashütte Original Panomatic, IWC Portofino/Pilot, JLC Reverso, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, etc.)

something with a recognizable brand, then just go for the publicly lesser known brands when the collection builds up (Tudor Black Bay, Omega Seamaster, IWC, Cartier, etc.)

no racing watches, since my watch is already a racing watch

no Rolex for now (unless it's actually a steal), my dad has a couple of them he'd like to give me in a few years, so I'd skip the brand for now

As you can see, my options are all over the place, and I can't even pinpoint to a specific one since my preferences aren't concrete. I don't even have a specific budget either since I'm willing to spend anywhere from $3k-$10k (and maybe stretch a bit further than that if presented with a really good deal). So what tips can you give on buying a first timepiece? Is it really that special, or am I just thinking way too deep into it? Thanks.

draw your dream watch

>>15131097
I'd say go on Chrono24 and use the filters to narrow down watches that meet what you're looking for (price, movement type, case size, brand, etc...) Not necessarily to buy but just to get an idea of what's out there. Find what looks interesting to you and then do some research on the watch to see if it's really what you want. Don't get overly fixated on a single watch and jump on it immediately. Keep it in consideration and then continue to look around. I ended up looking for my first mechanical watch for five months before I decided to buy. Ultimately after I found a watch that I felt checked all the boxes for me personally I waited for a couple months before I pulled the trigger, continuing to look around in the meantime. After coming back to the same watch time and time again I knew it was the one I had to have. Obviously you don't need to wait as long as I did to buy, but make sure you've found the right watch before you do. You don't want to spend your money on a watch only to find one in the same price range that you like better a month later.

>>15130767
I'd rather have the new dial honestly

Any suggestions for a good Chinese shitter with no text or logo on the dial. I want to get one and then paint a custom logo on the dial that says HOmega GAPE master or something equally gay. Maybe NIGGER in black text on a black dial.

>>15131166
Why though? It's 2D.

>>15131097
The only criteria you've really given us are:
>dress(y)
>recognisable brand
>not rolex
>$3-10k
Pretty broad. My first instinct would be a cartier tank or a jlc master control, it would help if we knew more about what you wear on a daily basis, how much you value technological innovation etc.

Hello there Mr Bond,

honestly this idea of force-starting a collection like I need a diver, I need a dress watch, I need a flieger, chrono, german, swiss, yadda yadda is super weird to me. Give yourself some time to fall in love and figure out what you really want. Wear your tag and enjoy it! And ask yourself what it really is you're looking for when you feel the need to make the decision for what watch to look into a heavy one, when you aimlessly list any and all style of watch with a recognizable name on the dial. Maybe not make it a heavy choice and get some toys to do some soul searching with? Get a 50 bucks 60s vintage watch and see if you can actually stomach 34mm diameter watches, see if you can actually be assed to keep a 30 hour hand wound reserve going day to day. Get a 50 bucks casio and see if you don't really enjoy never having to set or worry about what's on your wrist. Get a couple of strap options and dress up and down your Tag. Take a look at some affordable microbrands and figure out if they can scratch whatever itch you're looking to have scratched when looking at watches that cost 5k (and take note of why they probably can't). It seems to me like you really don't know the first thing about what you're looking for, apart from the fact that it's got to have an impressive price tag, but as you have seen, that doesn't narrow it down that much

luxury watch prices aren't going anywhere, bucko

I tried several watches today in different sizes. I think I've concluded that I cannot adapt to having something on my wrist like that. It's annoying. Even the small F91W, the band is either too loose or too tight, and the feeling of having something on your wrist never disappears. This is only my experience.

>>15131338

>>15131215

Fucking nothing gets seized at customs. I don't even think they do anything except intercept packages that have already been flagged by law enforcement. Maybe walk a drug dog around the processing center every once and a while. They sure as fuck don't stop fake anything from being imported.

The Speedy wears fucking TINY, I was shook as shit when I tried it on.

will this 40mm diameter 50mm lug to lug watch fit my ~6.5 inch wrists?

>>15131846
I'm wondering the same thing. Wrist size is about the same and I have the black version arriving soon. From what I've seen the watch will look oversized, but it's a retro tool watch originally worn by cosmonauts so I think it gets an aesthetic pass for being big.

>>15131847

>>15131842
I've been thinking maybe a first omega in space, but I'm on the fence about the leather strap only option. I'm looking to buy something new and keep it indefinitely. I have an op39 at the moment, but I'm thinking about selling it for about $1k more than I paid for it (still used) and getting something I can give to my kid. It's a bit nicer if I can say I worked a bit of over time, went to the shop and bought a decent watch to later pass on, rather than saying I lowballed some weird European on the internet and I bought it for cash in a back alley

>>15131936
That's a coronet not a crown dipshit.

>>15131955
Well, Casio is a cheap, utilitarian toolwatch, whereas Rolex is an expensive luxury piece and theres no way in hell that I'm going to overpay for being an advertisement billboard.

>>15131958
lowballing Europeans is how we all did it back in the day

>>15131969
So you will never buy a Rolex, is what you are saying?

>>15131958
I have hated every speedy I have seen until I saw this watch recently. And now I can't stop thinking about it, I might actually buy this watch if I can get it for <$6k AUD
I was going to wear it on a strap anyway so the no bracelet option doesn't bother me. And I can always order a rubber strap or bracelet later on if I want.

>Vast majority of the original Strelas were with Latin dials, and typically branded Sekonda on the black and white models.
Doesn't matter, cyrillic is better.

>>15131981
There's still some quite good looking vintage Rolexes that I could absolutely see myself wearing, some even at OKish prices (pic NOT related) and there's a chance that Rolex will unfuck themselves too, albeit a slim one, I'd say. Oh, and it could be that I end up at a job were I absolutely have to have one to fit in and to get ahead (again, rather unlikely, but possible, if I go back into consulting and get into the "right" branch of it) and then I'll just sigh and treat it as a business expense.
But essentially:
Yes.

>>15131814
>>15131842
>>15131958
The MOTM's 42mm size includes those crown guard shoulders, the actual case is closer to 39-40mm (bezel diameter is the exact same size as the FOIS). If you can wear an OP39 then you can wear a moonwatch

I agree with you on the passing it on (…you never really own a Patek Phillipe, you merely look after it for the next generation…) and on the sustainability, but you know, you could also simply remove your watch before taking the MRI?
I'm pretty sure they won't even do it, if you're still wearing a watch. When I had my MRIs, they were pretty insistent on me not wearing anything metal and they asked me like three times if I was sure that I didn't have any metal screws in some bones or any kinky hidden piercings, and I don't even look like someone who most certainly has a dongle on his dong.

>>15132045
Fuck, wrong pic.
But it looks really similar to the OG Strela.

>>15132054
>but you know, you could also simply remove your watch before taking the MRI?
so then why even have any standards at all for watches? the dude wanted to know about magnetic resistance and your response was "just don't wear it near magnets lol" which is fucking pointless. by your logic water resistance doesn't matter either, just don't wear your watch near liquid. chronographs don't matter, just time it in your head.

>>15132068
Theres magnet resistance and then there's being a retard and wearing a watch during a MRI even though every rule in the hospital forbids your from doing so.

>>15131987
I'm Australian too, where are you located? Could probably send you somewhere where you could get it less than $6k Aussie. I really want to pull the trigger on one, but my boss is a hold out when it comes to pay

Fine. I'm a pussy who's doing what his doctors tell him, no matter why I had to get those MRIs in the first place. Feel free to be a real man who wears his watch during an MRI. You might also wanna do some manly things like smoking or doing Heroin. Fuck those sóyboys telling you that it's bad for you.

you are so fucking retarded it's unbelievable
a guy asked a question, wanting to know how antimagnetic something was because there's some watches that can go through an MRI and be fine. those watches already exist. most people are never going to have their watch on in an MRI, but they made watches like that anyway for maximum peace of mind.
your response: "lol who cares just don't wear your watch in an MRI just do what people tell you you shouldn't expect more"
according to you dive watches shouldn't exist because we have dive computers now so there's no reason to wear your watch underwater. there's also no reason to wear anything more than a sack and a bearskin because they will provide you all the protection you need from the elements.

I aint taking the piss, but do you actually have any money to give Rolex? I have no issue with it, because it is very hard to see irl, and had the serial number in a practical spot, rather than having to take the bracelet off. I think their polished centre linked oyster bracelets are twice as flashy as the micro engraving

>>15132124
Yes, I cashed out before the economic crash and I was about to buy my first real watch although that's on hold for now. I was considering a couple Rolex watches but the retarded triple Rolex ring is disgusting to me. You say that it's not that obnoxious in real life but if I had one of those, I'd be looking at the watch every day, pretty closely because it's my luxury watch, and I would see it and know it's there. There is no excuse for it. Watches have tons of details that aren't that noticeable except when you look at it close-up. These details are considered a treat for the wearer. There is nothing that is a treat about ROLEXROLEXROLEX going all around the chapter ring. There is no defending this shit. They could have put the serial number somewhere on the back of the case if they wanted to.

>>15132127
Fair enough, valid reasons. I like it more than I dislike it. That being said, I only wear it occasionally, do you rate the maxi case design?

The great failure of communism is manufacturing things to meet a certain specific task, and assigning a market value to the thing based on the incurred cost of materials+labour. If the USSR were to make only a dozen of the Strelas and then use their propaganda network to hype up the things as being made with secret commie space technology that not even the US possesses they'd be able to sell them for $1M a pop to rich dumbasses in the west.

I HAVE SAY
WHAT IT IS

>>15131969
Rolex is technically just an expensive utilitarian tool watch.

>>15131215
P good picks.
Most of these are too big for my own wrists (and too much for my wallet). Best looking is that GS, that Hajime Asoka and the Lange Datograph.

what would be the /wt/ approved version of the Shinola Runwell? ideally, i would like to keep the small seconds, the large ~47mm case diameter with ~50mm lug-to-lug, but i'll consider any recs. sorta want to have a one oversized but still wearable watch in my collection. also keep it under $2K USD pls.

>>15132337
There's nothing utilitarian about automatics.

>>15132092
shit, if its borderline for you, it might be even more borderline for me. whats the measurement of your wrists? would really help a lot, im not so sure that this would make a good first mechanical watch for me anymore

>>15132337
>Rolex is technically just an expensive utilitarian tool watch.
Yes, that's where they used to come from, but nowadays they have been superseded by about anyone else, so they're now just luxury.
>>15132351
>i would like to keep the … large ~47mm case diameter with ~50mm lug-to-lug,

>>15132364
Oh just go for it if you really like the look, you can always get fat later

>>15132349
Yeah, that was more of a dream list. Here's the poorfag version. I was going to make a quartz version, but then I realized most of the choices were too obvious (a third of the choices are just casio!).

>>15132351
The only "cheap", fuckhuge dial brand /wt/ might like is a Laco pilot, but it has center seceonds. Unless you're also counting dive watches and possibly quartz, then the options open up a lot.

>>15132367
tfw i get shredded and gain 30 pounds just so a watch fits me better

>>15132361
>How friggin big is your wrist?
average
i have 48mm lug-to-lug watches that fit comfortably so i reckon i can swing a 51mm watch like The Runwell (and like i said, i want one oversized watch in my collection; was looking at The Runwell because it's "only" $550, but Shinola is a shady company and a fashion brand like Fossil)

>>15132368
>possibly quartz
definitely open to quartz, especially if it has a small seconds rather than a second hand

>>15132376
I didn't realize that small seconds was such a sticking point to you, I was going to recommend a Citizen Navitimer. I thought Laco did have a large small seconds but it looks like they aren't selling it anymore? There's shit like the stowa flieger classic, the jazzmaster, and the orient bambino small seconds, but they're just around 40mm.

This is kind of close. Watches with a Unitas or something very similar. A Tisells with a chink clone movement:
http://tisellkr.com/product/tisell-157-roman-dial-hangzhou-manual-movement-9312/25/?cate_no=1&display_group=2

And of course, pic related at 42.5mm.

>>15132354
They're extremely utilitarian if you hate changing batteries.

>>15132416
thanks, anon.

and the small seconds is just a strong preference, but i'm not married to it if i really like the watch as whole.

>>15132376
There are also chronographs out there, but I can't tell if it's small seconds or that's the stopwatch part.

>>15132423
Changing the battery takes about as much time as having to wind it back up and set the time back to normal because you didn't feel like wearing it for a few days.

>>15132429
99.99% of chronographs will have the running seconds on a subdial

>Here's the poorfag version.
I don't know too much about poorfags, but I would suppose someone truly poor is not going to shell out hundreds for non-flashy watches.
They're either going to go really low budget and utilitarian, if they actually need a watch (think Osama-core), or with some gaudy, bling-bling chink shit or they're going to go into debt by getting a ROLEXROLEXROLEX, hoping that will magically elevate them to rich, as exemplified by all the
>buy Rolex or nothing
fags popping up in here all the time.

>>15132368
Everything on the "poorfag" list is under a thousand and I've owned a few before flipping them to an old co worker who I shilled watches to. I meant poorfag in the sense that they have prices within reason and not the distorted lens of watchfags who pay thousands extra for marginal gains.

>>15132423
Losing minutes a month is the opposite of utilitarian. Even if we pretend changing a battery once a decade is somehow worse than having to get your automatic serviced every 5, on accuracy alone, automatics are unusable without another timekeeping device to set them to.

Meanwhile modern solar quartz lasts 20-30 years on a battery, and is so cheap that you could throw it in the trash when it stops holding a charge and not even think anything of it.

>>15131207
There will be some deals to be had here and there on 'entry level' stuff if you're quick to buy before some dealer snags it. Great examples of anything vintage will keep their value, exactly because it's a luxury item. Useless items you can't live without, as Max Bernardini says.

Are movements like the h40 that have silicone inside of them fine, in all reasonableness? If I'm paying a decent amount for a watch, I want it to outlast me. How long is the expected lifespan of the escarpment?

>>15132491
Any powermatic based watch

>>15132678
The h40 doesn't have the "synthetic escapement"; the higher-jeweled versions of the powermatic 80 have a metal escapement. The synthetic escapement is found in the low-jewel-count versions which afaik have only been Tissot branded.

I've been waiting on my orange neptune since it was released from Russian customs on the 30th of March. On average, it takes only about 3 days to get from Moscow to my country (lmao 9 days though Russia internally, 3 days international).
Either there's some kind of internal delay in Russia, or (more likely) there's not enough mail piled up to where I live to warrant a shipment. Who knows how long until shit gets back on track. Get the feeling it's going to be a long time.

Battery changes happen a lot more often than once a decade you goober. If you're lucky and the watch is a time only 3 hander you can get 2 or 3 years out of a battery. Also, you're smoking crack if you think a quartz watch suffers any less from needing to synchronize with an external time keeping source. Yes, quartz watches have better accuracy, often in the ~+30s per month range but if you're obsessing over accuracy you're still looking at multiple time adjustments over the course of a year to be within a minute so it's really only a matter of degree. It's not particularly hard to once a week bump your automatic back a minute (if that) to resynchronize with whatever external time keeping reference you're comparing it to, and the same process will need to be done with a quartz, just less often.

>>15133016
just get a solar g-shock with mb6, never need to adjust it and only replace the battery every 10 years if that

>>15130993
what would be too much for a watch like that? Where should I look for one? Would it be cheaper to buy it in Russia?

>>15133019
Sure man, or just get a decently rugged automatic if you want to and get pretty much exactly the same utility while also having a watch that you like. You don't always need to fucking optimize every single monetary decision you make to the penny. Building an identity around your consumer choices is dumb but there's absolutely nothing wrong with someone wanting to wear a fucking Seiko Samurai instead of a G-Shock. You'll get almost the exact same level of ruggedness out of it with the exception of maybe anti-magnetic protection while also wearing something that you enjoy. Do you also bitch at people who don't drive a 1998 Toyota Corolla because they made a sub-optimal utilitarian vehicle purchase?

>>15132972

Well the Orange neptune is still in the realm of retro amphibias thought I have to admit that the GMT I posted is quite a departure from the retro amphibias.

Here's some perspective: the bearded Neptune meranom re-issues are very rarely found on the used market. And I mean rare. And when one does come up for sale once in a blue moon it's invariably 4 times the original price. There's been one or two green ones from the last release (2018?) on ebay but way too much and I don't like that dull green. People have been holding onto these releases.
I have no idea what it's like in the Russian internal market though. The current tranche sold out in like 2 hours. They must be doing something right with them to garner such demand and (apparent) retention.

Quartz won over 50 years ago. If you care about timekeeping performance to the exclusion of everything else you get a quartz watch. So there is an understanding that you aren't buying some 15k swiss automatic to get the best timekeeping performance. You are buying it because you enjoy the finishing, design, exclusivity, and that you think it's cool a bunch of gears and spinny bits keep time. No need to relitigate the quartz crisis, it's over quartz won.

Differentfag here, hi. Quartz is actually pretty magical under the hood as well, but since it's electronics which is kinda mundane, it doesn't get the halo it ought to.

>>15130490
Can somebody explain something to a watch newfag thats been puzzling me. Why does anyone give a shit about the WR rating of a watch past 50m? No-one except fot Navy divers or Dive hobbyists are ever going below that depth and if you drop your watch in the ocean who gives a fuck if its water resistant to 200m its still lost. I really cant understand it, is everyone on this board an elite level divemaster that regularly goes below 100m? Why does it matter?

>>15133252
While some of it is just senseless number-chasing, a lot of it has to do with overspeccing and safety.

You're correct that almost no-one needs a watch that can withstand 50m of static pressure, and in fact most people need considerably less than that. The issue is that the ISO 2281 standards that govern "water resistant" marks are extremely lax.

According to the standard, I must do the following to mark my watches as "WR 50m":
* I must decide on some fraction of my watches (say, 1 in 500) to test to that depth
* I must decide on some fraction of watches (say, a half) that must pass the test when tested.

That's it. There's no requirement as to what these fractions must be. As a result, a watch which is marked "WR 50m" is *not* guaranteed to be able to withstand 50m of pressure (and even if it is straight out of the factory, most owners do not get their watches regularly re-tested, which is needed as seals and gaskets degrade over time).

So, a lot of guides out on the internet, and indeed from manufacturers, say that you can't swim with a watch that isn't marked at least 100m WR. That's not because you need to be able to withstand 100m of static pressure to swim - it's because a watch which is marked as 100m will *probably* be able to withstand the 10 or 20m of static pressure equivalence that a casual swimmer is likely to experience. A watch marked 100m is *probably* manufactured to higher standards than a 30m WR-marked watch.

Ultimately, watches just need to be tested. A watch which passes a 30m static pressure test is perfectly adequate for swimming. Just don't expect every watch marked "30m WR" to pass a 30m pressure test.

That's pretty much a bund strap. Don't know a brand who makes "dressy" ones, for chronographs is easy to get, now for dress watches...
Did you tried searching bund straps for jlc reverso or cartier tank? Since those watches are super popular, probably there's a brand who makes them. Otherwise vintage or custom if you have coins.

>>15133239
You can literally stick it into any case you want. I'm personally very partial to the 020 case but I would like to see neptune internals in the tonneau 090 case. I'd replace the second hand with a trident second hand from one second closer.

>>15133093
I'm not the person who originally was arguing that a Rolex is a utilitarian watch (though I do think an argument can be made because unlike most cheap tool watches a Rolex movement can theoretically be kept alive for decades with only occasional service). Your G-Shock isn't "outperforming" my tool watches in any category except time on your wrist.

Yes, quartz watches are more accurate and generally more robust. That doesn't matter to me. I have a G-Shock and two Citizen Eco-drives which keep better time than any of my automatic pieces and are probably better to take a beating. That doesn't matter to me in the slightest because the ones that end up on my wrist are almost always the automatics that I own. You can call that irrational or whatever, but the personal input of winding the watch and resting the time is in fact the draw of mechanical watch ownership to me. In an age where everything is electronically regulated and governed to the point of requiring absolutely no thought whatsoever, it is nice to have a watch that feels so disconnected from that that it doesn't even have an electrical power source. It's nice to pause and take the time to set the time and have something which requires some effort from me. It feels more like I'm making an intentional decision rather than just being another instance of me flowing towards convenience and the path of least effort. I don't have the power to hold back the tides of automation and technology taking over the way my life is run, but these small moments of intentionality feel like a breath of fresh air even if my intentional choice can be argued to be "inferior" by some metric or another.

Are you ESL? Your reading comprehension is embarrassingly poor if that's what you got out of what I was saying.

It is one aspect of my life where I have chosen something which requires my effort rather than something which can handle itself without my input. I enjoy that. This is no different than why I prefer working on my own cars whenever possible and why I prefer to drive a manual car over an automatic. None of these things actually matter but I feel they make my life better. Literally all hobbies/activities are like this. I prefer hiking to looking at pictures of summits on my cellphone. It's all the same shit. One feels real to me and one doesn't. It doesn't require any effort or attentiveness from me for my quartz watches to keep good time, which is why they do so sitting on top of my dresser rather than on my wrist.

Unless you're genuinely arguing that I shouldn't pursue any hobby or interest which has some more efficient solution, then I don't see why this one in particular is any different.

So basically, you fell for a marketing meme about being disconnected from technology when automation is the very thing that allowed you to buy a Rolex for a "modest" sum of money instead of a bespoke, low volume piece like a Dufor. And somehow you can't put effort into your life without spending thousands of dollars to do it instead of getting a hobby where you really work.

>>15133400
I didn't read that because you have proven yourself delusional and long winded. You are a luddite spiritual hippie who thinks he's a gentleman. You aren't.

>>15133400
Sounds like you're a poorfag lmfao.

>>15133400
You are just a dude with a watch you fucking pretentious queer.

I definitely agree with adding a chrono - I was actually thinking of Daytona on Oysterflex (pic related) or would it just be too Chadmaster / flashy?

Spring Drive is so smooth I want one, too bad it’s stuck inside a Seiko.

>>15133424
I don't think you know what the word pretentious means.

>>15133546
Get a Piaget 700p

>>15133417
It sounds like I'm a poorfag because I like hobbies that involve my own efforts? What?

>>15133404
I don't have a Rolex and don't really ever plan to get one unless I really can't think of anything better to spend money on. There's certainly truth in that automated processes like CNC machining have very seriously reduced some aspects of the production costs of mechanical watch making, but if you look at relative to inflation it's more expensive to purchase a Rolex now than when things were handmade. I don't have any delusions that I'm fighting back the tides of technology by using mechanical watches over electronic time keeping devices. I just prefer to have a mechanical watch which requires my input to keep time over one which is more than capable of doing it without me touching it again for the next 10 months. I develop more of a connection to them that way because it feels more real when it requires my effort rather than being well and good enough on its own.

I also don't have $30k worth of funco pops in my living room like you do. That doesn't mean that I'm "poor" in the sense of really wanting for more than I have. Honestly I could go buy a Rolex submariner tomorrow were there an AD that's open and had one in stock, but I don't think it would really add anything to my life.

>>15133414
Your brain must really be fried from too much internet usage if you think that 5 sentences is long-winded. Then again you also can't understand why anyone would prefer putting effort into something they enjoy if it isn't the most efficient way to accomplish their goal, so maybe 5 sentences is a lot for you.

hamilton khaki king, field or the handwound? all similar prices.

Yeah, i knew it was a bund, ive just never seen one for a dress watch like the one i posted. Ive looked around since my post but no such luck. Might have to go custom, so thanks for the idea Anon.

I just want to be able to afford 2-3 watches... or even just 1 that isn't from a bullshit brand. Fuck my life. :(

is it bad that i wear my beater while working out? i plan on getting it serviced eventually anyways, so it shouldnt be too bad right?

>>15133680
Handwound is the pro choice.

>>15133754
What do you think beaters are for?

post 3x3

>>15133804
This is a joke right?
Like a parody of someone who just buys watches that /wt/ likes?

>>15133754
Automatic watches are a lot less fragile than you think. Unless you're literally boxing with it there's very little that's going to damage the movement from you working out. You're a lot more likely to crack the crystal or break the bracelet at the gym than you are to fuck up the movement.

I choose no date window every time. I like the triangle lume pips and the numerals on that one more as well.

>>15133861
Is there an option with readable afternoon numbers and a date window?

Replace the Seiko with a Sub, Hamilton with IWC, and Breitling with a Sinn.

If you quartz is +-30s per month, you need to stop buying 5 buck aliexpress copies of 10 buck Casios.

>>15130848
Noice. You need a perfect late serial 1016. You can probably afford it.

>>15132113
That's exactly what it is. Anybody complaining about it has never held a nice watch and will most likely never own a nice watch with that spiteful attitude.

>>15134414
The duro is +-20s/month stated (though most do better than that, some won't) and most G-Shocks are only guaranteed to +-30s/month if they're not the atomic/gps/solar variants.

>>15134193
Are you actually retarded or are you just an illiterate nigger? Either way, maybe a quartz watch is better for someone as braindead as you.

G thread died out and this one is burning garbage. You shit on reddit all the time but realistically, this is such a terrible place for actually discuss watches.

>>15134842
It's just not for poorfags sorry buddy.

r8 my Tissot pr100; got it as a start to my collection on my eighteenth birthday. It may not be my grandfather's Speedmaster or some such, but it's very near and dear to my heart.
