My wrist is 7inch. What is the patrician size choice for me?

>>15204034

>Jory Goodman aka The Time Teller aka the bearded hipster soi-dude is actually a weight lifter

APOLOGISE

>>15204034
38-42mm

>>15204045
Almost every dude on this site that says soiboy and nu-male unironically is usually a low-test scrawny faggot

>>15204045
I'm mirin that sexy piece on the leff

>>15204045
>5'8"

>>15204051
I like the look of the classic 36mm oyster case, but seems like the people posting pictures online with them end up having a 6 - 6.5 inch wrist.

Think it’s a little too small for 7?

>>15204045
>lmao5pl8
Nice

>>15203893
owning a sub is like owning air jordans or a LV tote though, its not really that interesting

but this rolex prince for example, is extremely supremely rare IRL. Many watch fans dont even know such a thing exists. But rolex still sells them. And it has a rectangular movement. If i ever see one I would actually approach the guy and ask to see it.

>>15204072
Owning something interesting that shows your own personal taste is always better

>>15204043
goofy looking motherfucker

>>15204065
You’re probably fine

This is the watch

You mirin?

>>15204081
this entire discussion is homosexual. need more poasts of SICK WATCHES

>>15204095
That watch was designed for tasteless rappers pretending to have taste

there is not one (1) good reason to buy a microbrand shitter

>>15204111
im supporting the small people and more choice is always good.

>>15204095
unironically better than the Royal Oak

>>15204111
I like how it looks?

Do you think there’s another reason to buy a watch?

>>15204099
Truly awful date

>>15204095
it'd be alright if it wasn't like $42,400.00

Quartz watches shouldn't have a seconds hand if it doesn't sweep. The start-stop tick motion is decidedly unaesthetic

>>15204101
thats IS a sick looking watch
their name always throws me off though
swedes larping as japs

>>15204138
each tick is a symbolism of the death and rebirth of universe and time. 2deep4u

>>15204045
Ok, and? Dude wears a literal wig, I don't give a shit what illegal drugs he injects into his ass and how many tit surgeries he got, he's fucking pathetic.

>>15204140

>>15204138
Even hi-beat autos look like shit too. Spring drive or bust.

just installed some mods on my SKX. It's got a shiny new sapphire crystal and a coin edge bezel, looks a lot better compared to stock- I may swap out the movement for the NH36 soon.

>>15204095

Why are you coping anon? You don’t have to be so upset :(

BROOOOOUH

I FUCKING WANT THIS

thoughts on the hamilton khaki field mechanical? thinking of buying one for my birthday.

>>15204101
>>15204150
Remember when these retards had a spelling error on the dial and didn't even refund anyone who bought the watch with it?

Also the brand is literally called RAT.

Also, why isn't the Pink Panther head properly colored?

>>15204214
It's perfect for the kind of a loser who doesn't have anyone to buy him a birthday present so he has to do it himself.

>>15204099
These fags wont ship to canada. With their current discount, a nice looking watch is like 40 bucks Canadian vs 100 on Amazon. Fuck these assholes

>>15204220
i have people to buy me gifts anon. i just don't ask them for things, they buy it out of their own kindly feelings and i accept whatever they buy.

>>15204111
Scurfa unironically is the only toolwatch besides gshock and smart watches right now

>>15204217

>>15204236
>accept whatever they buy

>>15204236
Well fuck you then, I have no one in the entire fucking world. :(

>>15204214
like it

>>15204214
good choice, which model are you going for

>>15204244
you have me anon

>>15204250
the exact one in the picture. 38mm, mechanical, black face, green nylon band.

>>15204214
Seiko 5 is just as good at a 1/4th of the cost

>>15204252
The only thing that still keeps me going is Hitler in my heart.

>>15204269
that watch looks awfully big for just 37mm

>>15204269
i was looking at the seiko as an alternative. one thing is my wrists are quite small so i prefer the 38mm form. the seikos are mostly 42 right? i do like the aesthetic a lot though.

>>15204278
Wristlets, when will they learn? NATOs do them no favors.

>>15204283
>the seikos are mostly 42 right?
Not the 5 line

>>15204269
>>15204214
seriosly bro, i would just go with the seiko 5 unless you can afford to buy a replacement for the hamilton if anything ever happens to it.
the seiko is just as good plus you have the peice of mind of it being cheap enough to not really worry about.

>>15204297
the cheaper price isn't a big issue for me. ive set a budget for the hamilton, and i already have a cheaper watch as a backup.
but i see what your saying, if its just as good i should take another look.

Don't listen to the Seiko shills, Hamilton actually looks like a field watch, Seiko looks like some fucking halfassed abortion.

>>15204312
Seiko 5 has a hojillion different faces breh.
The 809 in particular isn't even a field watch, it's a miniature Flieger.

>>15204308
the thing with watches is servicing costs ~$200-500, sometimes exceedingly more, depending. cheap/"mid tier" watches don't really make sense as a purchase imo. just get something for under $100 until/unless you want to eventually buy a nice watch

>>15204324
this is a fair point, but at what price range do you think constitutes a 'nice watch'.

>>15204341
$1500+

>>15204308
>>15204312
>>15204214
The handwind Hamilton's are really, really nice but I'd strongly suggest not to get a the faux-tina. You'll get over it pretty quickly.
ETA, even handwind are fucking bullet proof.

I love seiko but the whole 7s/4r/6r (possibly not the new 6r35, no experience with them) run +/- 30 seconds and if you end up getting into watches properly this will really piss you off.

But hey, get what you like man. Pic unrelated

where can i get a hamilton khaki field with eta 2804 and not the powermatic thing?

Can I just pay someone to source a new movement and replace it instead of servicing it? how much would that cost?

how would one go about learning how to service a watch yourself (diy).
like for example is it feasible to learn how to service my sk809? i dont want to do it professional or anything, just as a hobby,

why should I buy a rolex when MVMT makes better timepieces?

>>15204436
Theres a lot of youtube tutorials, thered be some outlay for a few screwdrivers and maybe a timegrapher but it's do-able.
When it gets to oiling parts and full rebuilds theres a lot more to it though.
>>15204452
Shit bait. Even if you were gonna go for MUH MINIMALISM mvmt wouldn't be it.

>old seiko movements were thinner and had a better beatrate
Why?

>>15204474
Because they went all in on quartz and forgot how to make good mechanical movements for 20 years.

>>15204045
He's still a californian jew

To the autistic anon who ree’d about ETA movements, go drink some bleach.

In-house doesn’t necessarily mean better. Fucking Rolex for a while used Zenith movements for Christ sake

>>15204065
It's alright. 36mm should be the universal watch size and not 40mm. Reminder that men used to wear 31-36mm watches back in the day. Something like 38 was ridiculously large.

>>15204502
Times change. Divers look fine in 44mm.We're already seeing a move down to 38-40mm anyway which is the perfect balance.

>>15204513
Times may change but a >38mm dress watch will always look like a dinner plate on your wrist, and 38mm dress watches should only be reserved for the bigger wrists. The whole point of dress watches is to be discreet yet elegant, howver you see >13mm tall watches like >>15204095 just because the retarded swiss haven't recovered from a fucking rock alternating current and need to be as LUXURIOUS and COMPLICATED by jamming a bunch of useless shit on a dial. Times may have changed but a 34mm Calatrava will always look more elegant than this.

>>15204095
>any chronograph that isn't a Daytona or a Speedmaster

>>15204537
>Times may have changed but a 34mm Calatrava will always look more elegant than this.
Fucking based post. There is no reason for anything but serious high depth rating diver's watches to be over 38mm.

>wristlets

>>15204373

Is that yours? The 62MAS is one of the coolest looking watches ever imho. It’s aesthetically so well balanced. Very much with its own personality and not another Rolex Sub look-alike.

>>15204420

Chrono24

Is casio a good place to start for a poor/newfag?

>>15204598
Yes. But don't buy into the F91w meme they make many watches, many of which are better.

>>15204598

Yeah

https://www.seiyajapan.com/collections/casio

>>15204598
Yep. Just don’t tell that autistic in house anon from the last thread

>>15204610
Doesn't Casio make their quartz movements in house though?

>>15204569
Yeah man, it's mine.
I bought it over a year ago and it wasn't ticking at all.
Took fucking ages to get it fixed at a seiko specialist but now it's literally running chronometer specs and it's a fucking 50 year old watch.

The indices are just unbelievable. One of my main grips with the re-issue.
Lume still glows a little bit too.

>>15204599
Ok cheers m8, not a massive fan of the f91 anyway. Im interested in the A168 and A158, just looking for an inexpensive everyday watch

>>15204639
Not a fan of the fake metal coating on plastic but I will say it looks OK and not offputting or anything. The gold coatings look like shit though, like if you're wearing that you should be in a magazine ad from 1970 with exposed chest hair, a jumpsuit, and a medallion. The bracelet is very comfortable although I hear that if you've got very hairy arms it can pull hair.

>>15204644
Ok you've given me a bit to think about, i was leaning towards getting both, ill shop around for better gold ones

replacement strap just arrived and I realize I have no way of swapping out my current bracelet. should I buy the springbar tool that everyone recommends or just take it in to the omega boutique?

>>15204680
Post watch

>>15204682
you've probably seen it here since it's my only nice one

>>15204043
this or a G-Shock?

What do y’all think of the new 62mas reinterpretations?

>>15204693
There are some pretty cool g-shock options if you can wear something that big. Rangemaster, the Japanese mudman with atomic time or my favorite, the frogman.

>>15204668
Almost all fake gold coatings look cheesy as hell. If you want a cheap Casio that will balance out the silver one and looks cool get something like this

You might get tired of digital, these are still very affordable, very readable, very reliable. Or you can spend a little more and get a Casio Duro

This is also a cool watch

Usually 20 bucks but this specific version is really popular. Can still be had on eBay for 30
Then there's the classic G-Shock square which is still 40 dollars and really great as an everyday watch, it's the perfect size and proportions.

Honestly Casio offers a lot of value, they own the $200 and under market and a lot of their watches look cool in a way.

>>15204680
Those spring bar tools are like 10 bucks so it's a sound investment

>>15204499
I swear so many fuckers read some marketing line on a forum and just make it their opinion going forward.

In-house doesn’t really mean shit

>>15204699
Assuming all 3 are the size of the original and not just the $5k super limited edition one then they are awesome.

>>15204537
Calling a 38mm a dinner player is a pretty massive overstatement. 38 does not look big at all.

>>15204704
just worried about scratching the lugs by doing it myself, however I would like the opportunity to wear different straps

>>15204706
In hoise is the biggest meme and mostly just guarantees you will pay out the ass for service because you will have to send it to the manufacturer or some specialist.

>>15204707
I think they’re a little bigger.

40.5 diameter
47 lug to lug
13.2 thickness

So submariner size. Still pretty reasonable

>>15204714
You can use floss too. You’re less likely to scratch that way. Look up some videos on YouTube.

>>15204714
If you're doing it right there's almost no chance of scratching the watch or if so the scratches will be inside the lug so they're basically invisible. The only trick is to understand how much force you need, it has to be firm but very gentle. Honestly you can find a million tutorials on strap changing on Youtube, and once you learn how to do it it takes like 10 seconds to swap out a strap and you'll wonder why you were ever paying people to do this for you.

>>15204712
>Calling a 38mm a dinner plater is a pretty massive overstatement.
No, it's the truth. There is also no excuse for anything but divers to be thicker than 10mm.

>>15204725
>>15204722
got it, I've just heard the omega springbars are a pain in the ass to reinstall. I'll likely end up doing it myself, just stressful the first time

>>15204718
They are bigger.
My 62mas is 37mm
I'm not a fan of the indices but the size is reasonable and it has the new 6r35 movement so they seem pretty good for money. I wonder if the stock bracelet is any good?

>>15204722
I think I might try this. am I fucked if my spring bar decides to go to the moon?

>>15204704
Damn those are some good recs, ill definitely look into getting some, I guess i cant be a poor fag when it comes to gold, appreciate it anon.

>>15204748
don't get fake gold, and don't get gold if you're wh*te since it looks terrible

>>15204745
Definitely find a place where you can easily find it if it goes flying.

It probably won’t, but it won’t hurt.

Or just take it to a shop your first time. I did with mine, but felt like an idiot for taking it after I learned how easy it is to do it yourself.

>>15204732
a chronograph?? those are pretty thick

>>15204767
thanks. I want to try this floss method first, since I have it at home and it seems like floss is at least scratch-proof. I'm unsure how it'll work with my bracelet but I'll give it a shot.

>>15204768
They were able to make 33mm chronos that were 10mm or less thick in the 1940s, no reason they all need to be these bloated fat things.

>>15204156
Where'd you get ur bezel? Looks good. No ne15?

>>15204777

>>15204779

>you'll never own a montblanc minerva monopusher

why even live

hnnnng I'm finding myself drawn to this watch so much lately. I just want PURPLE

>>15204782
No way in hell this thing is 13mm thick.

>>15204785
>monopusher
Hnnnng

>>15204791

>>15204791
I like the crown pusher.

>>15204785
Got damn

>>15204796
Fair enough. It is a great look.

>>15204785
why wouldn't you? they are cheaper than a Rolex

>>15204813
very low quality bait

do you guys wear rings/bracelets with your watches?
im thinking about buying some handmade stuff off of a cute girl i met to match a watch im going to buy

>>15204844
buying the ring won't make her fuck you, and I hope to god you're not about to buy a datejust.

however if you're over 50 then both of those statements don't apply

>>15204849
im not trying to fuck her and why wouldn't i buy a datejust

What watch would you gift your long-term gf? upper limit $2K

>>15204860
Cause if you gonna buy rolex you should get a sports model. Get an explorer or something

>>15204146
>Dude wears a literal wig
wat

>>15204860
everything you do seems to be wrong

>buying mediocre jewelry for a woman
so you're not trying to impress her? surely you don't think the ring is superior to something you could by elsewhere. I guess if she's offering you an amazing price on a precious-metal ring then go for it.

>why wouldn't I just buy a datejust
daddy's favorite mid-life crisis purchase, the datejust fills the same niche as a corvette. either you have enough money to get a nicer rolex, or you buy a watch at the same price that shows you know something about watches. buying a datejust just screams "I want a ROLEX and only a ROLEX because that's what the media says I need in order to be cool!!!!!!!!!!!"

a datejust is a watch that is impossible to justify for the price, especially considering how many good watches there are at that range. either save for a GMT-master (in my opinion...) or get something you actually like and haven't been told to like

don't hit me with that >b-b-but I actually like the datejust because you're going to get clowned on. as should anyone who buys a datejust because it's one of the "cheapest rolexes"

>>15204867
a quarts cartier. hits the best of both worlds

quartz: doesn't need as much maintenance
cartier: the name carries prestige and she will likely know how valuable it is

>>15204095
Cool Emporio Armani bro.

>>15204880
quartz*
fucking autocorrect/alcohol combination

>>15204867
See if you can get a good deal on a used Cartier tank I guess. Or a Channel j12.
A bit out of left field but there are tons of nice Credor watches on Yahoo auctions japan (use a proxy service like zenmarket). It's Seiko's luxury brand. For the money you can get some very nice precious metal examples and half of the "used" women's watches are completely unworn since women don't wear watches.

>>15204879
lol calm down

>>15204892
nice retort, I've been sufficiently BTFO'd

>>15204879
>don't buy what you like, buy what I like
I love my Datejusts and wear them more than my subs.

If I could go back in time once I would go back in time and prevent Rolex from creating the cyclops complication

>>15204908
90% of datejust buyers do not start out wanting one but settle on it for various reasons. you're likely part of this without realizing, I'm sorry.

>>15204910
cmon cyclopses arent that bad, at least theyre useful

>>15204867
women dont care, so just buy a nice mall shitter. To them a watch is just another fashion item like their bag.

>>15204914
>LOL THE DATE WINDOW IS NOW SLIGHTLY BIGGER IN EXCHANGE FOR AN EVERPRESENT GIGANTIC DISTORTION TAKING UP A SIXTH OF THE DIAL WOWEE
The real marketing genius of Wilsdorf was convincing people this was actually a good thing that they would want

>>15204919
cmon just give me the cyclops man my eyes suck

>>15204925
I think you'd like a smartwatch then, old man. I heard you can make the numbers bigger on that

:(

>>15204919
>cyclops bad cyclops fat
meh, who cares

>>15204879
she makes custom pieces and is going to give them to me heavily discounted so whats the issue?
the datejust is the first "luxury" watch i wanted and it's been on my mind since i started learning about watches years ago so why look for alternatives when i can just buy what i actually want and it also fits my wrist perfectly.
i thought about the other rolex models and other brands but they don't do anything for me like a 36mm datejust with a fluted bezel. especially on a nice leather strap.
if i just wanted a rolex i would buy an air king or something since they are cheap as fuck.

>>15204939
>air king
oh no no no
seriously how is this watch even real

>>15204940
it gets uglier every time i see it

>>15204939
The datejust is a nice watch. Get what you want. That anon tries to start a flamewar about rolex every single thread. Probably because it's so easy to get dozens of (you)s that way.

AHHHHH, I want my chink steel gshock case to arrive bros!

>>15204940
that watch is cool i dont get the hate

>>15204952
rolex fanboys hate it because it's a cheap rolex that degrades muh brand, and non-rolex fanboys hate it because it's a rolex

>>15204425
That's pretty much what they do for lower end movements anyway.

>>15204436
Start by reading and watching some tutorials to understand what you're getting into, get the most essential tools + oils and stuff for washing by hand, then just practice. Something with 7s26 is ideal because you can just buy a new movement if you fuck it up. Get better tools if you don't get bored.

For me, it's the SKX007.

>>15204975
the supreme entry-level dive watch?

What watch would you recommend for someone with 6 inch wrists? My gmt2c sometimes feels too big on my wrist.

>>15204989
Get vintage.

>>15204980
The supreme entry level dive watch now is probably an Orient Ray. Better specs at less than half the price.

>>15204989
how about anything smaller than that?

you list no conditions or anything on what type of watch you want. 6inch is a common wrist size, you're really only excluded from 44+mm watches. if it feels too big for you then that's a different problem. maybe a 38mm bathyscaphe? they look great in person and I'm considering getting one myself since my wrists are smaller

Can anyone recommend a good watch for a forest ranger?

>>15204156
>just installed some mods on my SKX.
How much equipment and training do you need to pull such stuff off?
Asking for a friend.

>>15204992
>>15204998

Thank you. I will look into vintage.

Apologies for not listing requirements, I would like to have GMT function, though I don't anything with a moonphase, it has always been a complication that has fascinated me :)

>>15204217
>Remember when these retards had a spelling error on the dial
Can the Russian anon from the other thread >>15203099 please email Strela?

What's the latest on the brand new Nasa gshock watch?

Will this beauty ever return to its original price point?

>>15204998

Thank you for the bathyscaphe reccomendation. It is a very nice watch.

>>15204980
Absolutely. It was a gift from my father years ago and I wear it every day. I should probably try polishing off a scuff I got on the crystal sometime. I accidentally hit it on the corner of the kitchen counter a couple months ago, but it's not really noticeable at least.

>>15205005

>>15204945
>steel
Should've paid the extra 50 bucks for titanium, bro.

>>15205011
This thing is hideous and I can't understand the hype at all. At least if they were doing something fancier like having one side of the whole thing in black to ape the old space shuttle designs, I could understand. This is just a white, basic bitch g-shock with some lazy logo printing.

>>15205018
I don't think you can polish it out. You can polish out acrylic. Sapphire wouldn't scuff in the first place. The SKX uses Hardlex, a proprietary mineral crystal. Hardlex is not terrible. It is better than normal mineral crystal. But it's not as easily maintained as acrylic or as hard as sapphire.
It would probably be a better investment to buy a third party sapphire SKX crystal for something like 40-50 bucks (they come with antireflective coatings now too so you get a clearer view of the dial and also a sick blue or purple sheen if viewed from certain angles) and then pay a watch repair dude like 10-20 dollars to replace it for you.

>>15205005

>>15205042
>titanium doesn’t come in metal Mario purple
next time, bro

>>15205005
serious answer: g-shock rangeman 9400 series is an incredible watch with seriously good looks. unless you're a wristlet

>>15205048
That oil slick shit is way too garish for me, but I guess someone must be buying all those neon color g-shocks.

Dang boys

Got dang

>>15204025
What is the purpose of this "hobby"

is it to just collect more and more watches?

are we just coooomsumers?

>>15205053
I was hesitant cuz it’s Batman Forever levels of wacky, but my gshock face is yellow don’t seemed like a match made in hell. And I’m a tall, wide goofball so wacky shit seems slightly less wacky on my wacky frame.

>>15205063
*so it

>>15205046
no way is that a real watch

>>15205055
Yes

Getting into watches was a huge mistake for me.

It's one of those things I never needed before, but now I spend a great deal of time obsessing over.

I also do not have the money to buy the elite watches that I desire.

I am poisoned.

>>15205049
Green or Black?

>>15205068
it is a real watch, just not for sale

>>15205055
Anyone who collects fucking watches is a complete degenerate devoid of a personality. I just like looking at the occasional new developments every few years when I feel like a change.

whichever you like. people typically dislike negative displays because they are worse for readability than the normal ones but that colorway is pretty sick to be honest so get that if you like it. it feels more geared towards the military and in fact chris hemsworth wears it in that new movie extraction, but it would work for a forest ranger too.
one cool difference is the backlights. the problem is I forgot which is which, but one of them, I believe the green one, has a backlight where the screen is purple and the numbers show up a bright whitish blue, which looks sick as fuck. the other one just has a typical bright backlight, blueish white background, bluish black numbers.
seriously though the rangeman is incredible, but they are big so you really cannot be a wristlet.

Based moser making shitposts in watch form.

>>15205045
I thought maybe I could polish it out since it's pretty minor, but a nicer crystal would be cool too. I'm not sure it bothers me enough to make it worth replacing, though.

why are you on a watch thread?

>>15205095
you would be paying $60 to make your watch look much better and to have it be invulnerable to scratching... it seems worthwhile.

>>15205094
why did they retract this watch? they should have actually offered it on sale

>>15205101
because he would be replacing a part of the watch and it would no longer be 100% original from his dad?

>>15205104
>because he would be replacing a part of the watch and it would no longer be 100% original from his dad?
it's not like he's replacing the dial, it's the crystal, the part of the watch that gets replaced the most anyway and will eventually have to be replaced because you can't polish scuffs out of mineral crystal. it's the one part of the watch you can replace guilt-free.

Am I crazy for thinking this looks good? Also post guilty pleasure watches.

>>15204095
Nice Vostok Europe, bro.

the worst part about the code 11 is that the fucking fags at audemars pigay launched it with the most arrogant launch ever where they basically said "you will like it and you will buy it and feel honored to" and pre-emptively dismissed all criticism as shit taste

>>15205127
it looks very pleasing in a 80s way, and the colours remind me of southwest native jewelry

>>15204879
>how many good watches there are at that range.
Name some that have the same brand recognition and effect not he general public as the Rolex.

Hell, name ONE.

>>15205221
this watch is more famous than the rolex and it actually changed the world.

>>15204944
>it's only one person who understands the importance of Rolex as a globally recognized brand
It would be a pretty sad gathering of "watch enthusiasts" if there was just one reasonable non-copeposting person wouldn't it?

>>15205221
This is the Seiko Astron, the world's first commercial quartz wristwatch.
Far more tasteful than the DateJUST, changed the course of horological history, and has as much brand recognition

>>15205196
>it looks very pleasing in a 80s way
dude, what
The Monaco is pure 60s modernism.
Picrel is what "in" watches looked like in the 1980s

>>15205235
wow thats one ugly MF

>>15205235
how the fuck did gerald genta ever become famous? is it like some kind of joke that everyone went along with and at some point it all spiraled out of control?

Same brand recognition and effect on the general public retards. The first one has the effect of "cute my 9 year old nephew has one just like that" and the second one is "oh I know Seiko they sell all those $50 watches at the mall".

>>15205238
He was great at capturing and defining the aesthetics of a given period

1970s/early 80s: steel, rectangular motifs, integrated bracelet, sharp edges
1980s/early 90s: gold, round cases, articulated lug straps, radial elements

>>15205257
literally nobody in the public cares about your rolex. You could hang out at the mall all day and nobody will ever comes talk to you about your rolex.

>>15205259
that looks atrocious what the fuck. it's like a cartier pasha designed by a mongoloid

>>15205054
what kind of movement is it?

>>15205264
Probably quartz since there's no text in the lower part of the dial.

>>15205261
No one will probably come to talk to you about wearing a shit on your head, but they'll still notice and adjust your opinion of you.

>>15205055
>is it to just collect more and more watches?
For some fags yes, I personally enjoy buying a watch every 1-3 years and always buying something I “need” like a semi formal watch, diver, field watch etc etc. don’t just start buying the new thing/next thing, enjoy what you have and admire the watches other people have

Dearest /wt/,
I come to you to ask for your forgiveness!
For the longest time (well, at least 4 threads or so), I have been arguing against, often unfriendly or even violently, or even shitposting against the date complication, denouncing it as useless clutter giving you information that you just know anyways.
However, now, after almost 2 months of Corona induced homeoffice where the date simply didn't matter, I'm back in the office again, and I'm totally lost as to what date or even day of the week it is. I think it's May, but which one?
Fuck, I should have put on my watch with the day-date window that I rarely wear, because I can't be arsed to set the damn thing every time.
Can you forgive me?

>>15205509

That's a lot of color. Did you change the bezel or is that original?

>>15205628
It comes like that. I love the gold bits.
I actually have the all silver version with a busted movement I might transplant the yellow dial and movement into.

Out of all the watch conglomerates (citizen, richemont, swatch), which one is the nicest to their sub-brands?

what are the pros and cons of white dials VS black dials?

which do you normally choose?

>>15204065
too small a watch isn't really a problem. Too big looks silly though

>>15204156
very nice. I have been debating between an skx and a turtle for a while now

Fuck lads I scratched my Komandirskie, anyone got any tips on polishing?

>>15205660
I know white dials can be hard to read if you’re vision isn’t that great, so if you struggle with reading small things it may not be fun. I personally just don’t like they pay they look on most watches, especially with a black bezel.

>>15204879
Lol datejusts are good classic watches. Log off the internet for a minute maybe?

>>15204912
Completely false

Maybe Internet forum dwellers, but people absolutely want datejusts

>>15205069
Yep, my brain did not even register someone was wearing a watch before I stupidly got interested in them.

You start by buying a $500 watch which seems like a lot at the time, then find yourself thinking anything under $5k is reasonable

>>15205244
It looks nice?

I like how y’all seem to think there’s reasons to buy watched other than liking the way it looks. It’s just jewelry

>>15204953
I don't care that it's "cheap", it's fucking ugly.

>>15205269
Jesus, normies don’t really notice or fucking care about your watch. How many times do we need to say this to you autists?

the few times I’ve had “watch-guys” comment and talk about my watch, I felt embarrassed for the both of us

>>15205596
Noooo you can’t buy a homage reeeeee

>>15205742
And the truth is that only watches over $5k are reasonable. You're still not there?

I went to great lengths to get a BB58, and while it’s great, I felt like a fucking moron at the end of it

Guys, I need help. What's this watch? I know it looks really familiar.

>>15205864
Seagull 1963

>>15205883
Nah it's not a seagull. It has rectangular pushers and the indices are round.

>>15205883
Stop shilling the chinese crappers
It's not even close

Literally any 1950s chronograph looks like that

>>15205761
It's one shitposter that comes by periodically. But he doesn't even have a real rolex.

>>15205864
Kinda looks like this but the dial is all wrong.

>>15205864
the artist probably just drew a random watch on her

i am about to purchase. what is every reason why i should not get this watch?

Just got a used watch with eta 2892. Still keeps good time with decent power reserve. The thing is, I need to wear it for about 30 mins before it starts moving. My seiko 5 with 7s26 moves almost instantly after being worn. Do I need to service it or is that normal for eta 2892?

>>15205927
hand-wind it

>>15205925
Lugs too long. If you're going to buy this watch specifically because it's small (by current standard) then please rethink.

>>15205944
nah i am not looking for something particularly small. my wrists are ~6.5 inches, so i expect it to be medium or larger on me

>>15205925
It looks very much like a toy watch in real life because of the bead blasting and overall shitty finish and lack of detail, it looks like something that's on the level of just a paintball/airsoft/hiking/outdoors accessory for younger guys, not a real watch to wear with real clothes. If that's what you're buying it for, then it's a perfectly fine watch.

>>15205951
Oh yeah and as >>15205944 said lugs are RIDICULOUS if you want to put anything but a NATO strap on it, don't, it's specifically made so you can put a thick NATO on it.

>>15205925
kinda expensive at $300-$500
faux lume (subjective)
no daydate
no screwdown crown so its not a serious field watch

the snk800 series kinda looks the same but less than 1/3 the price

this is a handwind and has sapphire and better power reserve though

>>15205944
>because it's small (by current standard)
watches are getting smaller now

38-42 is the new normal

>>15205961
>>15205956
>>15205951
>>15205944
thanks for your input. i think this is exactly the watch that i am looking for. will update when it comes in

>>15204025
Just use your phone??? Literally no reason to own a watch these days

>>15205987
watches are cool though

>>15205993
I respect that, the way they are built is fascinating but generally lacking purpose anymore. I can see them being looked at how we look at people who wear pocket watches in 10 years

>>15205987
Sorta correct. It’s just jewelry.

Kinda hilarious a Rolex is still off a couple seconds a day

>>15205944
its a field watch. Field watches are supposed to be small, you wouldnt want a big ass watch to get caught on your clothes or on branches or webbing. 38mm is already big for a traditional field watch.

>>15205981
If you just want it for a tacticool/military look and as something that you won't be sad when it gets knocked around, it's great. Look at all the other Hamilton field watches though.

If you want a similar look while also being a respectable watch that you can show your girlfriend, IWC or Rolex.

>>15206005
>buying watches to impress girls (aka skanks)
>comparing 2 watches that differ 90% in price
>not even the same genre of watch

Do y’all all have 5 - 6 inch wrists? 38mm is not big

>>15206004
Learn to read you fucking imbecile

>>15206024
get educated

>>15206004
Khaki fields are not big.

>>15206032
in WW2 field watches are like 32mm

38 is big "for a field watch"

How badly does misaligned bezels and chapter rings, and seconds hands not hitting their marks on quartzes/solars, trigger your autism? I wanna get one of the cheap-ish Seiko divers but honestly this might bother me

Where do I cop that strap?

>>15206034
We’re not in WW2 times anymore. All other clothing has evolved since then and watches have too

>>15206095
oh v cool. Well I think that while you may not know watch enthusiast, there are plenty on this board and plenty of people who appreciate fashion or at least see themselves as fashionable who enjoy watches. They're one of the very few widely accepted forms of men's jewelry and for that reason I believe they will continue to be popular, despite the technology being unessential these days. just my two cents

>>15205005
Unironically f91w, cheap gshock, timex ironman, or garmin instinct

T. USFS forestry technician

Does anyone know where to get a slightly elastic long NATO-like strap? Something kind of like that Omega strap for the outside of the space suit, you know what I'm talking about? I want something that I can put on the G-Shock lug adapters to strap onto the outside of my motorcycle glove.

>>15206095
Surprising because watches and vintage watches are definitely having a resurgence in mens fashion right now.

I was told to come here and find out about this watch
How much is it worth?

>>15206002
>people who wear pocket watches
>when you check the time from your phone, you literally have to take it out of your pocket

>>15206158
Quartz Elgin Day/Date. Look them up on eBay. I'm too lazy to even check but they're all under 100 dollars, something like 50 average.

>>15206170
Oh well ok.
How should I wear it though?

>>15206190
>>15149572

>>15206190

I definitely think it’s cool.

Thoughts on the jlc Reverso?

>>15206196
Nigga I was talking about clothes.

>>15206190
You can easily wear it if you like the watch. If you know how to combine it with clothes, do how you like. But people wear any kind of watches to anything in casual situations.

Don't wonder about the responses. I saw your other thread and you seem new. Thing is, people have been lurking these threads so long, that they assume that every non typical post is an attemp at shitposting.

>>15206216
Changing the entire way you dress for a watch is pretty crazy desu

Just fucking wear it

You probably have your ass flexed out and screaming oh my god in the most faggy voice possible.
Please, sell your computer and never come back.

Nobody with good sense and taste wears gold day/dates though. It's always some flexing asshole.

I doubt you could afford enough precious metal cellinis to get a daytona

>>15206291
You probably don’t either.

>>15206277
People can wear a gold watch without any meaning, just because they like how it shines in the sun or because they like the black/gold contrast. That's it, you selfcentered retard. Not everybody who wears a golden watch has put as much thought into his little warderobe as your sissy ass did.
Some people just wear things they like. There is no need to combine everything with everything.

I'm self taught through YouTube videos, I watch a lot of SKX modders to see what they do specifically. Lume Shot has some good vids. My setup is a little bare bones- all you really need is a clean work surface, a crystal press, some hand setting/removing tools, and a case back and bezel removal tools. As far as supplies- rodico, silicone grease, and a shit load of finger cots. Don't cheap out on the hand setting tools, unless you've got three hundred bucks to drop I wouldnt recommend using a hand setting press- the cheap ones have awful tolerances and make it that much harder to place the hands. I use the 7404 set from Bergeon which works like a charm- be sure to use a dial protector when you remove the hands. And use electrical tape on the bezel remover, it's easy to scratch up the case.

>>15204778
Here's the eBay seller I got it from, the base is machined so that you'll get the clicking action. I hadn't considered the NE15, but I may end up going that route- thanks! I don't think the NE15 would require any modifications to fit, unlike the NH36.

>hilarious
Feel free to make your own mechanical watch that is quartz accurate. I'll wait.

>>15204156
You should get a Strapcode bracelet, they really transform the feel of the watch.
I've got a super oyster, coin edge bezel and lumed ceramic insert on mine. I'm thinking of adding a signed crown, changing the hand set and swapping to an NH36 at some point. Maybe a sapphire crystal too.

>>15205660
The black dial absorbs more sunlight than a white dial, so a black watch will be hotter. It depends what temperature you like your watch.

>>15205897
You're right. It doesn't have the bulging edge-to-edge crystal of the Seagull. That being said, 1950s chronographs were pretty cool.

>>15204940
Gag. Looks bad in photos, looks even worse in person.

>>15205264
It's written at 6 o'clock on the dial. 9F82. High accuracy quartz. Stellar movement.
