the wristlets of /wt/ will hate it no matter what

5 ring Zulu set up properly to take load off the spring bars is one of the coolest ways to wear divers/tool watches if you don't mind a bit of bulk

>>15159988
You might be able to get one of the CW watches or a quartz seamaster used for that much, if you're really diligent and lucky. There are solar seiko watches out there, but they look pretty similar to the automatics. Then there are the "not seiko tunas" which are technically larger but have a smaller lug to lug than others.

>>15160000
Sort of, if you're really into the tritium tubes. Marathon also has them, give them a look.

>>15160017
>>15160025
Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately don't really like CWs not-quite-cathedral hands but I'll keep them in mind. This would be a lot easier if the skx had handwinding desu

I always wanted an Omega Seamaster, but even though I theoretically can afford it, I am pretty sure I wouldn't wear something over 4k as my daily driver. Today I found this beauty. Seiko Prospex Turtle Save The Ocean Greate White Shark (SRPD23K1).

I'll probably order it tomorrow.

>>15159975
$400 if I'm remembering correctly. Not too bad for ~+2s/d

>>15159987
I mostly only get more tool oriented watches but there's 10 million of them at all sorts of different price points. My favorites are probably Nodus, NTH, Zelos and Hamtun but there's a ton of really well spec'd and constructed watches out there. Helm is fantastic if you can get one, Raven is great also. Traska makes good stuff and uses hardened coatings sort of similar to the Sinn Tegimented steel stuff (and they're about to put out their third generation of Freediver finally).

>>15159988
Look into Lorier Neptune, Nodus Sector Dive, Long Island's 38mm Islander, and the Raven Trekker.

Oh well, can't change ma genetics. Bad luckily, BOCTOK has my back and makes nice watches for my tiny wrist!

>>15160251
get the non-great white shark version, the regular save the ocean
the dial is less textured which makes it cleaner but still just as rich, and it has a regular seconds hand not a shark-shaped one. unless you really like sharks

>>15160284
I have one as well. Gets quite a lot of wrist time.

>>15160305
The wavy dial is what I am looking for so no choice but to spend a little more. Are there any other good watches with such a dial?

>>15160091
I really like the amphibia, shitty chrome plated bezel and all that, but the golden kommandierskies (In fact all of them with "textured" bezels)?
Not so much. But they have some pretty dope dials.

>>15160314
no, if that's what you want then get the great white shark. it is well executed.

>>15160314
I really have to get me one of those cushion cases some time, to see how it'll look on my wrist. On pictures it always seems so weird.

>>15160283
Nodus sector dive isn't a bad rec, thanks I'll look into them more

Do you want the BB because you genuinely like it or because it's the next best thing to the rolex?

>>15160366
A little repetitive for my taste, but I can respect a person who knows what he likes. Big fan of the calculator watches personally.

>>15160366
Exemplifies why I hate plain quartz, honestly. Atomic solar should be default on watches over 20 bucks, all those unsynced watches.

That's the original DBC 610 too, not the newer DBC 611. You can tell because it says 'DATA BANK' above the screen not '<ILLUMINATOR>' and the keypad has all the letters etc not just numbers.

"by order of quiet-ness:
The weekender is loud. You'll hear it in a quiet classroom at your desk. People may comment that sit near you.

The expedition scout is quieter. In your room, you'll hear it if you rest your chin to your arm or you don't have a fan going. I can't sleep in the same room as my scout (I keep it in a watchcap in my closet).

The expedition field military (no chrono) is the same as the expedition scout.
The expedition field chrono is very quiet when not using the chronograph.
The weekender chrono is likewise very quiet.
So typically, chrono = quiet. Seemingly everything else is middle-high volume."

>>15159976
I like it, different from the basic bitch f91 that everyone has. Model name please?

Has anyone tried a meca quartz? Are they any good?

>>15160649
really depends on what you want, im assuming you want an analogue watch and not digital

if you like the look of it and arent pursuing value--at that price (<$50) its not that bad i guess, it works

desu there are better field watches but they are also more expensive (marathon, bertucci, hamilton, luminox etc)

at $45 for the timex if you top up another $30 you can get the seiko SNK 800s, a popular 1st mechanical watch.

also at $45-$55 if you dont mind playing the "chinese specials" game you can get actually kinda decent quality chink-made mechanicals from AE at around that price. This is a QC gamble though and more for people who arent 100% unexperienced with watches

>>15160622
You also have to ask yourself if the date just would abate your lust for the bb36. If the answer is no then you can get the bb36 and the DJ later. But I suspect this is not the case.

>>15160649
do you want quartz or mechanical. The former is far more casual and doesnt require the same sort of upkeep. A quartz watch is what most people think of when they think of watches, and will always be far more accurate than almost all mechanicals. Quartz watches are always good to go, you can chuck it in a drawer and only wear it once a week or whatever. A mechanical is more like a pet that you bring along and have to attend to it, either powering it by wearing it or winding. But many find its tiny gears and springs more "romantic" and worth paying the price for.

The timex ex. scout as entry level quartz watches go lands somewhere in the middle of the pack. It is brass with a basic quartz movement, from a well known brand with a classic design. It'll likely serve you well until the battery runs out. Personally if i want a field watch I'll prefer to find one that has a steel body at least, or even titanium.

>>15160686

Yep sorry wrong picture. That is the Samurai. Turtle has the same dial but of course different shape.

>>15160725
>>15160791
Thanks for the advice. The only design I really like as far as aesthetics goes are military field watches and digital Casio's. That Seiko does look nice too.

I was also thinking of getting this Casio as a first watch, its only 15$.

>>15160808

Check the sizes of those watches. The first watch I bought was a Seiko 5 automatic. Bought it because it was cheap, but unfortunately it was way too small (37mm) for my wrist, so I have never really worn it.

>>15160808

Also if you like this style, check out a Fortis Colors. It's a watch from a reputable swiss brand at a ridiculously low price (well it's plastic). You can pick up a used one for 50 bucks.

>>15160808
cant go wrong with casio. that model also comes in blue and yellow too i think? i had looked at it before
theres also this version if you want a beefier sporty variant, goes for $10 more

>>15160819
iirc that 1 is a 42mm

is Jeanrichard a garbage brand? the Terrascope seems cool

>>15160251
>today I found
I think that you should think a little bit more instead of buying tomorrow. Do you really like that watch or is a cope for the omega? If you really love the omega, no cheaper alternative will fill the void.

>>15160819
Yeah I've been keeping an eye out for the right size.

>>15160832
This looks nice.

>>15160836
That might be too beefy for my thin wrists but I still like it.

I just found a Bertucci DX3 that looks pretty nice too.

Would anyone here be interested in an extensive writeup about Guinand's factory outlet? I was going to visit and take a bunch of pics and ask about a bunch of shit while I'm buying my watch, obviously I have to postpone it because of the virus bullshit, but I'm not sure if anyone even cares about such a shitter brand?

Anyone own anything from these guys? Laco, Junkers, Graf Zeppelin
How are they?

>>15161149
I'd be interested in seeing a few pics of their store. Just checked out their brand, their stuff looks nice, lots of emphasis on the tool watch aesthetic/ functionality. The only real criticism I have is that they offer too many configurations, too many options for hand colors, one even had options of a date window with or without a stainless frame. Seems a bit lacking in confidence.

>>15161029
Soap and other abrasives aren't good for your watch anyway. Assuming you have a metal bracelet, because the rest will get eaten away by moisture over time, you're still going to be stripping off the valuable coating of skin oil that keeps your watch smooth. You can rust out cheap pins, too.

The only solution is to buy a watch you don't care about like a 10 dollar casio, because you will always baby something you spent too much money on.

>>15161197

>>15161200
You don't? Wipe it down when it gets gross, sure. But you shouldn't be washing your watch every week, or even every month unless it's something you wear in place of a sweatband.

>>15161207
Damn, I clean my watch weekly by wiping it with an alcohol-soaked cloth.

Buying a Reverso if you don't play polo regularly is basically LARPing as a WASP.

>>15161200
The only risk soap and alcohol have are the chance that they breach the caseback and degrade the rubber. Think about all the items made of stainless steel that get cleaned every day.

>>15161197
Soap is going to get rid of the abrasives that gunk up bracelets etc numbnuts. Just rinse it off so it doesnt affect the seals

>>15161215
Well, ya but it's a tasteful larp. Any mechanical sport watch is kind of a low key larp at this point.

>>15161396
this, one of the few things the 7S movesments have going for them besides robustness and price is the magic lever system to offset the lack of handwinding. those fuckers will start ticking if you so much as pick them up.

>>15161388
I don't know about "gorgeous" but for all the shit Seiko gets about being pleb or weeb or whatever they do have a different design language and are more willing to be creative. At least, they were, now they just release uglier versions of their older designs for a higher price.

this one is the RH815CX9 at $75. There are also ones with arabic numerals etc. At first the brand seemed more promising but many of their gents watches have date windows.

It's an ugly watch and has nothing special going for it.

>>15161614
Hey fatbrah
How you've been?
Are you active on the discord?

>>15161600
Why do people want watches to be heavier and more bulky for no appreciable benefit? A screwback has one advantage, it'll be less prone to stripping after a few dozen removals.

But how often do you actually remove your caseback? Is it even reasonable to assume that anyone who isn't a complete hamhanded moron will ever manage to strip screws going into resin? And if you do somehow manage to fuck it up after 50+ years of use, it's not hard to epoxy the hole and re-drill.

Maybe on a 2 year battery life watch, you'd want a screwback. But on a 10 year? Or a solar model? It's just bulk. Personally, I wish casio would offer premium models with titanium casebacks, and threaded inserts to hold the screws. It's an extra few dollars in terms of production cost, but it'd create something that's just objectively superior by every possible metric, instead of having one minor flaw that no normal person is likely to encounter unless they buy vintage watches from the 00s in 50 years.

>>15161151
>Anyone own anything from these guys? Laco, Junkers, Graf Zeppelin
>How are they?
Got the gf a Junkers Quartz shitter. She like my Junghans, but Junghans has insane prices on their current models, and she wasn't sure if a watch is something for her anyways, so we went with the Junkers 'bauhaus' watch.
Well, waht can I say? It works. It looks nice and the
>Hurr, durr, we wuz an airplane manufacturer!!!
branding quite toned down, so it's OK.
Essentially, it's a microbrand living on 'stolen' heritage, so if you don't care for those things, they're decent.

>>15159948
for me it's ICED-OUT PATEK

Sieht man das?

>>15161657
AFAIK, the brand isnt even Junkers itself, all of them belong to some firm that bought the rights for the names (incl. Messerschmitt, Zeppelin etc.) and is now selling watches not even with stolen heritage, but with zero heritage, or someone elses heritage entirely, having zero to do with watches. Some models look interesting, some even halfway well made, but there is always something lacking in the design. Not to mention MADE IN GERMANY is an even looser term than SWISS MADE, so quartz chronos for 350 bucks is what you get. I believe they are aimed at the unknowin or unsuspecting. Seen them in duty-free shops and the like.

ITS GOT TO HURT MAN - ITS REALLY GOT TO HURT

WHEN DID U REALIZE THIS

>>15161651
My interest in steel cased screw back digital watches isn't rooted in any inherent flaws of the newer stamped plate attached with screws methods. Obviously Casio has no problem making 200m water resistant watches with the new methods. I just like the screw casebacks. It harkens back to a tine when a digital quartz watch was made to a different standard than they are today. I'm sure the market of people that watches like I'm describing but wouldn't just get a screwback g-shock is tiny but I still would be happy to spend $200 or $300 on a modern 100m or 200m WR marlin with it's slim classic sized case. In the end I just bought a g-shock since I can't be assed to spend $500 on a NOS marlin filled with old dried out gaskets and sitting on a terrible folded bracelet.

>>15161151
I had a Zeppelin LZ127 LZ127 GMT, it was pretty good but looked like a dinner plate due to the thin bezel.

Damn sea-gull is fucking killing it at the $200 to $400 price point. The cheeky china made on the dial is just *kisses fingers*.
If they had better distribution in the west they would be eating the breakfast of swiss brands selling anything but high end stuff.

>>15161730
Why would you pay anything for this when you can get a superior casio for 1/10th of the price.

>>15161733
Because that is an 8mm thick hand winding watch for ~$200. Good luck finding anything else that even comes close to that price wise.

I can't find any actual high resolution pictures but Sea-gull just released a double axis tourbillon for only $50k. That sound you hear is mountain jews trembling, doubling down on muh heritage.

>>15161614
Is that mother of pearl on the dial?

>>15161747
It's synthetic but yes. I'm not a fan.

>>15161735
A casio a700 is a 6mm thick digital watch with annoual calendar, chrono, alarm, backlight, superior accuracy, more sex appeal, respectable brand for 50 bucks nigga.

>>15161752
Yes we have covered in 20 of that last 25 threads that there is no reason to buy anything but a cheap casio quartz watch and everything else is a waste of money. I'm suggesting that for those who choose to waste their money that sea-gull has some tempting options.

>>15161771

Yeah, that's essentially what I was trying to say, but maybe I worded it wrong. They are not a descendand of the real Junkers (an old, German airplane manufacturer) or Zeppelin (an old, German airship manufacturer that now is an engineering company that also does ONE airship), but just a random brand that bought rights to the names.
Haven't seen Messerschmitt though.
Doesn't necessarily make them bad or something, but it's a bit weird, but oh well, 80% of the watch market just lifes of marketing and stolen valor, so you can't really fault them. And it's an OK midpriced quartz watch, so if you like the design and know what it is and is not, I'd say it's fine.

Do you really need a watch for every occasion or is a cope for a themeless/no direction collection?
Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with covering the basic genres, but guys that the collection consist of buying ONE watch per type of watch, usually ends badly.

>>15161661
WTF is that style even?
Hunchback sóyboy X soldier of fortune X tasteless rich chink kid ???
Anyways, it's a crappy look and a tasteless watch. Might as well save some money and just get some niggerified DIESEL.

>>15161872

That is absolutely brilliant, I didn't quite realize what my style was until now.

So, which watch should I get?

>>15161044
Yes, they also sell the unprotected sex version.

>>15161071
The best reverso.
Reversos with more than two hands are trash and fat.

>>15161877
G-shock, if you wanna go with tried and true function, some Vostok with some commemorative dial for your favorite war, or some hugeass Vostok Europe behemoth from this tread? I think they're also available in muted colors.

Hideous, and hopelessly out of date.

I imagine anyone who bought a steel square is seething these days about how any idiot with a screwdriver can make one for under a hundred bucks. And you can get a titanium square for under 200.

I'd honestly rather buy a 200 dollar STN panel square, or a 400 dollar 5610 with a MIP screen. Sadly, the first is part of their "premium" range, and the latter is never getting made without Bluetooth. These 500 dollar turds appeal only to idiots.

why hire a wristet to model a Panerai?

Say you lift and you're forearms get some size, but your wrists ofc stay the same size. Are you more in the clear to wear bigger sized watches because of bigger forearms ?
Also I would say id this watch but I don't think that is possible, know of anything that looks like this?

No need for big wrists to wear a big watch, if someone says your watch looks too big on you why not just slap them?

>>>comparing digital to mechanical
How is this an argument? Mechanical watches are like mercury filled thermometers, outdated shit.

>>15162219
because if you are going this argument the only watches left would be casios, gshocks and ecodrive citizens, everything else is antiquated tech

but people buy mechanical watches because they want to appreciate the engineering on a mechanical level, the tiny gears and sprockets and springs, the "heartbeat", the elegance

its like asking why people still like vintage cars when the cybertruck exists

These things are literal dogshit because they fail at the most basic aspect of being a watch, which is lasting more than a day without a charge. Within a few years, the non-replaceable battery will fail, and you'll be left with effectively a paperweight.

Casio are pretty much the only company still making timepieces. Anyone producing autos is making glorified jewellery, smartwatches are just miniature phones, it's just all so tiresome.

>>15162395

>>15162417
>can a gshock give you directions to mcdonalds? not exactly "dogshit" imo
My phone can, which is what my fucking smartwatch is connected to anyway to do all the heavy lifting.

It's a device that's completely unsuited to the wrist. In a few decades when we have fucking screens implanted under the skin and they run off ATP so you just have to eat another chocolate bar a day to keep them running? Then maybe a smartwatch is a good idea.

>>15162426
The 2 dollar watches can't keep time to save their lives. Personally, I don't think quartz alone is acceptable when we have shit like radio or even bluetooth to keep you perfectly synced.

>>15162431
you know what else can tell the time? your phone, so why even wear a watch to begin with? oh right, thats not the point. having smart features accessable on your wrist is more convenient than having to pull out your phone every time

>>15162438
Checking the time is something that's useful all the time. Checking my phone is something that's useful maybe once a week.

>>15162030
>I'd honestly rather buy a 200 dollar STN panel square, or a 400 dollar 5610 with a MIP screen.
These would both be fantastic smart moves from Casio so of course they will never happen.

>>15162443
>Checking my phone is something that's useful maybe once a week.

Sternglas actually makes some relatively nice stuff despite being fairly overpriced Chinese stuff just like everything else under $1k. If they used 9015's in the Naos instead of the 8215 it'd be a much better but.

Either way nice watches but not really my style so I probably won't be getting one in the future.

If you're going to buy a smartwatch, buy Apple. They support and update their products way longer than the android gang.

Tudor Sub 36 or the Omega Semenmaster 36? Both are around the same price (3k), I know the semenmaster is a better watch but I like the sub aesthetic more

The trend of reviving mid century designs and bumping the dimensions to 40mm thus fucking the proportions can't die soon enought. Picrel was 32. Now it's 43. 43! It's fucking ridiculous, looks like a dinner plate on your wrist. My wrist is 7" before anyone asks

>>15162455
It is dogshit, though. A regular watch will tell the time, which is its main function almost indefinity when taken care of. A smartwatch will become outdated, obsolete and unrechargeable as above mentioned. They all also look like a dogs anus. So it has nothing going for it. You buy it and you expect it to fail after a certain time, or get another one when the new model comes out. Waste of money, but hey, yours, not mine.

Pic rel, solar quartz, radio controlled, wr 100m Citizen. Possibly the most hassle-free watch for 250 bucks.

>>15162756

>>15162722
>>15162726
thanks fellas, I'll just pick up one of both for the variety

I have come to the conclusion that any watch I buy is just going to be a cope for the submariner so I might as well save and buy one, at least I can wear it for the rest of my life and enjoy it.
now the question is what do I buy to wear in the meantime. obviously has to be cheap but do I go for a sub homage or get something completely different?

>>15162734
Are you sure that those trees are printed on? Looks like a reflection to me.
I think some abstract prints can work, but if you just have a literal image printed on the dial, it's kinda tacky. But could work ironically or as a statement piece. e.g. ulisses nardin porno or something.

>>15162854
No I'm not sure, it just looked like they were. It was just to bring the point across though, that I'd like a watch with that print lol

I think the main appeal is durability mechanical watches can las a lifetime, smart watches battery just a few years plus planned obsolescence the same can be said about electric cars.

>>15163115
I just read gaming news. What news should I be looking at for watches? Hodinkee or something?

What’s the most you’ve spent on a watch?

>>15163119
hodinkee, ablogtowatch, fratello watches, wornandwound, monochrome watches, g-central if you like g-shocks, there's probably a couple others but the more indie the blog is the more insufferably written and slow they are ie. revolution watch and time bum. as far as watch news goes the big names are the best because they may be shills but the news is at least solid while everyone else is wanking.

>>15163128
Hodinkee is pretty insufferable imo

>>15163131
it depends on the writer. jack forster is autistic but a gentleman. ben clymer on the other hand is insufferable. I don't trust younger watchfag writers on any site either because they always seem like they're trying hard but don't have any idea what they're talking about.

>>15163151
>at least I'm not racist! :^)

>>15163088
I was talking about the design, is a reverso classic medium or the classique. Complicated reversos look terrible, if the watch is fake or not is doesn't matter.

>>15163106
Basically this >>15163115, but if you're on a poorfag budget for the foreseeable future, there's chink brand homages to the black bay, exactly two I believe: "corgeut" and "neymar". I've got one in the mail, could be over here as soon as early may, I'll report back at least a wrist shot's worth. Check the usual shills before paying for anything.

I'm glad Baselworld is dead, almost nobody could go besides big-lipped industry dicksuckers and even they were starting to hate it. People would meme on Baselworld nonstop. For the past few years it's been mainly known for exorbitantly priced sausages. But now that it's finally gone people are realizing that the Swiss are like the Jewish Icarus overcharging too close to the sun and now they're starting to feel fear. Maybe this industry will actually change for the better now.

>>15163166
Forgot to add that checking the typical watchblogs is legit. Baselworld dies and then practically within 10 hours of each other all the big names start posting articles about how watch collecting is not totally frivolous, how important it is and it's not just a luxury, how the Swiss are hurting and they're going to try harder next year... Smells like motherfucking desperation.

>>15162716
I own the full size versions of these (except the tudor is an older ref). I would def go to tudor, but you should get an older ref with a matte dial w/ no applied indices and the black bezel.

Poorfags unite!

>>15163172
Damn anon, well I'm in luck. Why do you rec the black bezel and bare indices? I don't mind the black dial but the steel bezel is part of why I like the Tudor so much.

>>15163172
Nice tudor sub. Are the bezels on them bi-directional?

Is pic related worth $1500? Or should I hold out for the green version... or something better perhaps

>>15163195
I guess mostly personal preference. I just think it looks better, but if you like that ref better might as well go for it. Does the ref you're looking at come with sapphire? Mine is acrylic

>>15163220
Yeah bidirectional and just held in place with friction. Feels pretty low quality unfortunately, but isnt a dealbreaker. Im not sure if the steel bezel in the other anons pic is the same way though.

>>15163227
I wanted to like (the 37mm version) these, but the powermatic movement, no screw down crown, and no lume on the bezel just kill it for me.

>>15163234
> but Teddy bulbasaur told me I should buy it REEEE!
Its crazy how rado fucked up the 37mm so badly.

>>15163231
>Feels pretty low quality unfortunately
That's too bad. From the small amount of browsing I did for old tudor subs a bidirectional bezel seems to be the norm. I guess if I want a small-ish diver I should just get a BB58.

>>15163231
Yeah, which is another reason why I'm considering it. I don't mind acrylic, as long as it's not mineral glass I'm good. I think they tried to Rolexise it with the newer references (having applied indices, actual mercedes hands as oposed to the plain hour hand in the older references) but as long as I can get a non homage sub in 36mm I'm good

>>15163247
Yeah the BB58 is going to be a much better deal than the tudor subs. I feel live even the 36mm ones are going for like 3-4k these days.

>>15163259
Yeah they definitely upgraded it to be more luxury.
>actual mercedes hands as oposed to the plain hour hand in the older references
Most tudor subs actually had Mercedes hands (and the snowflake hands before that). The "lollipop" hand was like a 1 year thing with the 76100 ref https://tudorcollector.com/collection/76100-submariner/
