Seeing the Seiko Presage next to the GMT makes me realize non rotation bezels should be sub 40mm

>>15206399
Numbers tell the truth. Watches used to be smaller but the (((industry)) pushed for bigger watches for wrist presence. So chinkoid manlets can feel rich and noticed. The rest of the industry followed. Thankfully we are slowly moving back to smaller sizes and better proportions.

Tag I bought 10+ years ago before I knew much about watches, along with a few others watches here. It's a good watch, just overpriced. The bracelet is phenomenal.

The Calatrava may not be for everyone, but if you cringe when you see Pateks, I will refuse to value your opinion.

>>15206417
Probably, but I think it is good to see companies like Rolex releasing the Oyster Perpetual in 39mm. Hopefully others will take note. The trend is absolutely on the way out

>>15206417
Seems accurate. Yeah, they also slow it down on purpose so they can make money on each step down the size chart, if you ask me.

Best would be to stick with older models. They are usually more creative too. Or it's just me getting bored of modern design and wanting older stuff.

>>15206424
The Patek’s a classic man. You have a solid collection. I don’t take anyone seriously who scoffs at Heuer either

>>15206436
People respect Heuer, people hate Tag Heuer. Even Tag Heuer realizes it which is why they have spent like 10 years unshittering themselves, scaling back the Tag branding and ditching the hot shot image.

How the Heck am I supposed to know what size strap to get?

I have a wrist that is just over 8 inches

You really need to step your g-shock game up. If you are going to wear a basic 5600 at least get the JDM model that says fox fire instead of illuminator. But you really should have a 5000-1jf.
Otherwise I approve

What do you think about this watch?
http://www.militarywatchshop.co.uk/section/h3-
gws-g10/

>>15206538
Yeah unless you want to get one on the SS or Titanium g-shocks the 5000-1jf is the way to go. Made in Japan, almost identical to the original g-shock design. Higher quality softer resin for the band. Solid inner stainless steel case with a screwback.
If you want one of the Foxfire models look on eBay. Just be careful, lots of them are listed as foxfire by Japanese sellers when they are the regular model, be sure to check the pictures.

>>15206326
Snek

At what price point should a watch stop using ETA, Miyota et al.? Does this depend on the style of watch (i.e. diver, dress etc.)? If most watches are using the same movements in their dress and tool watches (e.g. ETA 2824) are both watches equally as tough to shock? If so is the only difference between a "tool watch" and a "dress watch" the styling, finishing and water tightness? Discuss.

>Higher quality softer resin for the band. Solid inner stainless steel case with a screwback.
But if you get the Chink titanium kit, this doesn't really matter, so which one is the best if you're getting that?

If you like those military divers you should also check out CWC. Their stuff is a bit more expensive but has a long history of use by the British military.

Im not sure if the bezel kits are for the 5600 line or the 5610 line.
If they are for the 5600 than get one of the new Bluetooth modules. Even if you never use it the screens look better than the older models. If it's for the 5610 models than just get whatever one you think looks good.
You can look at the full line including the Japanese models here and then just search for the model # of the one you like on eBay to buy it.
https://g-shock.jp/products/origin/

here's another skx mod I'm throwing together.

double dome sapphire with a pilot style bezel, lumed seigaiha pattern dial- it'll have some fifty fathoms style hands as well. I love the dial, it's not everybody's cup of tea though. straps are temporary, I made this pair but I think a set of natural veg tan straps would look much better. I've got a leather punch that would let me stamp the wave pattern into the straps, I'm not sure how it'd look however- I may stamp and then dye the straps blue, we'll see where it goes. I've got a NH36 movement on hand that I'll need to modify so the day wheel aligns properly- if I'd thought about it I probably could have just used an NE15 instead.

>>15206476

>>15206638
Blue dial and blue straps is too much blue. Brown is the better choice. The dial pops so much a plain strap is better or else you're going into garish territory. Have you also considered a white chapter ring for extra sick contrast?

I need a digital beater watch for work use. Which should I get?

>>15206653
G-shock dw5600-e. $40-$45 on Amazon or ebay.
Or for about $85 you can get a 5610 that add solar charging and atomic radio timekeeping to keep it perfectly on time.

>>15206663
do you actually need atomic timekeeping though? aren't these g-shocks accurate to like a couple seconds every month?

>>15206676
No you don't need atomic timekeeping it at all but it is a nice feature if you life close to the radio station, and they are rated to ±30 seconds a month, which isn't great but it's fine as long as you aren't ocd about it being perfectly accurate.

>>15206688
They say that the 5610 can have a 12 year battery life with the solar cell as compared to the 2 year battery of the 5600

>>15206688
>and they are rated to ±30 seconds a month
in real terms though they're much better than that. it's like how seiko says their tolerances are within 30s a day but in practice you get like 10 or less. I've never been a fan of the atomic meme and I kind of hate it because it just seems to jack up the price, and it always comes packaged with solar which is something you actually want. same with that bluetooth garbage.

>>15206476

>>15206853
Yes but this one looks like some early 80s bullshit, I don't like it, the xboxhuge one has the same design as the regular squares just bigger.

>>15206856
Only like 3 weeks ago

>>15206878
Fine then, how about the DW-D5500BB-1JF. Shown next to the big boi for size comparison.

>>15206892
What? It's literally the same as the last pic?

>>15206851
Meranom.com it's their oem Milanese. It's cheap, thick and pretty good quality. I would recommend anyone buying a Vostok to add one in their cart. The clasp needs some getting used to.

>>15206897
It's literally THE g-shock 2.
Fuck you you stupid nigger, you are mad that one early 80s watch looks like it's from the 80s instead of looking like another early 80s watch. Get a mudman and shove it up your faggot ass.

>>15206907
First thing I do is throw away the straps, they are so weirdly bad compared to the watches

Kinda want one.
Would look cool with some scratched up patina.

>>15207006
Incredible finishing but the designs themselves are still a bit rough. They are going hard on it though, really trying.
People like it but Swiss fags still seethe because GS's finishing makes Rolex look pathetic at half the price

>>15207006
The best finishing you will find on watches at any price. But it comes off as compensating for a lack of "heritage". Less prestigious than the Swiss boys but way nicer watches for the money. Spring drive is also controversial, it's really a completely superfluous system when super accurate quartz watches exist, but it's about as accurate as mechanical movements get, some love the tech, some feel it lacks soul. Also their snowflake dials make the swiss look like lazy faggots. Pic related.

>>15207033
Not sure how I feel about the reserv indicator but that is one beautiful dial.

>>15207046
Yeah lots of people also dislike the power reserve indicators which aren't on every GS but are a feature of many GS watches.

>>15207046
The reserve indicator is actually great on that specific dial. It adds a little visual interest and some depth and it looks like a snow angel. It completes the watch because without it it's almost too austere.

>>15207006
Their spring drive movements are incredible, as are the hi-beat and 9F quartz movements tbf, finishing is ridiculous, I just wish the snowflake was smaller

>>15207033
I prefer the updated version that just rocks the Grand Seiko name proudly rather than this early one you posted where it's Seiko Grand Seiko Grand Seiko

>>15207064
Fair enough, I just grabbed a snowflake dial pic off of image search.

>>15207062
Truly the sexiest quartz movement.

>>15207062
>I just wish the snowflake was smaller
Same. They've already put that dial on smaller pieces. Pic related is 38.5mm in diameter and 10.2mm thick. The thing is though it doesn't have the titanium case or bracelet. I wouldn't mind if it was manual wind only either.

>>15206476

Yeah, I’m thinking I made a great choice.

>>15207183
how hard is it to read?

>>15206694
Solar seems completely worthless to me without atomic, because you get 10 year battery life for quartz anyway, and a new battery is only a dollar instead of 20 bucks for a replacement rechargeable.

I've found Casio quartz to be fairly poor, 30 seconds a month is typical. If you just need it for knowing the general time, it's fine, but if you want to sync it with other clocks, basic quartz sucks and radio is well worth the tiny premium.

opinions please on this (for a lightweight, semi-affordable tool-diver)

I too struggle with taking pictures of my wrist without making the watches look too big. It's really the strangest thing. I look at them in the mirror or if someone else takes the picture they look fine but as soon as I point my phone camera at my own watch it's as if my wrist shrinks away, afraid to be shown in the wrong light.

>>15207389
That's just perspective. If you took the picture from a far enough distance away it would look more 'normal'.

>>15207334
More like Royal Joke, am I right everyone?


Seriously though nice watch. I'm not a big Royal Oak fan but that one isn't bad.

>>15207384
Thanks! Lucius Atelier makes it, in case anybody's curious.

It's a double since it's thicker than your standard crystal, and domed because it's convex. I went with this specific crystal because it's meant to be paired with that bezel, the edge of the crystal isn't beveled
like most double domes so it sits completely flush with the pilot bezel. Here's a pic.

>>15206638
>>15206642
I have mixed feelings about all this, on one hand you don't see that kind of dial every day but on the other the rest of it just feels like it's there

If I pull the crown out on a quartz watch, does the battery last longer? I'm less inclined to buy quartz again because I'd feel bad wasting battery on days I don't wear that watch.

>>15207460
Yeah, I know where you're coming from. I'm hoping that when the hands are installed it'll look a lot better, right now it just feels sort of incomplete. Might play around with a rotating bezel and a different color chapter ring if that turns out to be the case.

>>15207318
normally I think date windows are acceptable on all the watches that the autists ree about on here, but in this case, it ruins the whole raison d'etre of this otherwise nice watch. the whole point of the design is extreme minimalism. that date window throws the whole design off.

>>15206638
I like the texture on the strap. If I'm reading your post right and you made it, then you did a really good job and they look solid. They really crackly super distressed but not broken sort of texture is really appealing.

>>15208166
They did improve it

>>15208098
Thanks man, here's a better pic of them- it's a full grain veg tan leather that's been embossed, which is why the surface is patterned like that. I've made a couple sets for friends so far, I'll probably start selling them once I'm happier with the end result. They're pretty tedious to make, there's a lot of fine detail required.

I'm looking for a watch for around £100/$130
I like the car inspired faces of some Chotovelli watches, I also like understated minimalist circular faces and animal skin straps. Dark colours preferred for face and strap. Got any recommendations? Also are Chotovelli a respectable brand cause if I can't find anything I'll just get one of theirs

>spring drive
>a completely superfluous system when super accurate quartz watches exist

Nah. Spring drive doesn't have batteries but takes all its power from a metal mainspring.
That means it can potentially run perfectly accurate for many decades, since the regulator adjusts for any inaccuracy caused by mechanical wear (unlike an automatic).

>>15207334
Amazing, every single square micron of that watch's external surface is beat to hell.

>>15208318
Good choice man. You gonna get a bracelet or keep it on a strap?
How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

>>15207334
How come it's so scratched up? Is it a fake or is the metal it's made of really that poor? It looks like it's made of fucking butter, what the hell. And the weird angles and curves don't help, makes it look like it's half-melted and wonky in all directions.

>buys a pleb watch while calling other plebs

>>15208457
Hardened steel still scratches, man.

>>15208457
Looks like a 15400ST to me, which would indeed be steel. Hardening steel isn't really a free lunch. If I recall correctly the way sinn does it is really only surface level, so you can still dent it. It's not like you can't scratch hardened steel either. If you really want fuckyou tier scratch resistance then you need to go with something like tungsten carbide, ceramics or full sapphire.

Although nowadays German tools have started using shitty steel too for some reason, but anything made before the 00s is indestructible.

>>15206476
>dilate

>>15208476
How many of those tools are actually exposed to abrasives though, and not just put away after you're done with them? Something on your wrist will take a decent beating over the years.

Go rub your tools on some sand, or scrape them against each other and see how many marks they leave. You're not going to get the gouges you get in cheap stainless as easily, but you're going to get scratches and shit.

>>15208487
>rub your tools on some sand, or scrape them against each other

not him but do people just slam their $24,000 watches into doors? do they throw them on the driveway and grind it under their boot? i never understand how people manage to scruff up watches like that, you'd have to be a major klutz

>>15208494
Most people who wear APs are really stupid

>>15208494
If you wear a watch daily, you're going to scrape it. Let's say you trip over and scrape your watch on the ground, that's going to destroy most metals if you slide for an inch on pavement.

It's nice to pretend your watch is never going to catch on anything, but it probably will occasionally. All the pristine examples of 50 year old Rolexes have either had some re-surfacing work done, or have sat in their boxes for 50 years because the owner was terrified of actually wearing it.

>>15208487
>How many of those tools are actually exposed to abrasives though
>Go rub your tools on some sand, or scrape them against each other
That's... literally what tools do every time you use them?

>>15208502
What tools are you fucking using? Tools rub against the work piece, there's a reason screws are made out of soft dogshit metal instead of tool steel. The only time you use abrasives on a tool directly is if you're sharpening it, and they get pretty fucking scratched up from that.

Looks good. Inexpensive. Versatile. Wish the bracelet was slightly lighter

Help me pick a new watch.
Pic related is my daily watch for 5 years now but people say I need an upgrade.
I don't agree but I do need a fancy watch for special occasions.
Here's what I am looking for.
Mechanical movement, bracelet, and a dial similar to my own, simple and easy to read.
As for my wrist size 18cm circumference, so no hueg watches.

orient mako 2 for something that looks like that but is better
orient kamasu for something even better, probably the best value entry automatic diver overall
both these watches are sort of dressy so you can wear them to fancier events too

>>15208534

My fault for not writing a budget I guess

Love how they look, exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks anon.

>>15208547
>My fault for not writing a budget I guess
Not your fault at all.
The guy suggesting the link should've known that nobody in /wt/ has a budget over 150 USD (and even that is really beyond their limits).

>>15208547
>>15208563
You have to admit that there is a strong aesthetic resemblance though. So if you want to be a highschool mall ninja with a *real* watch, that's the one to get.

I'm in the market for a leather strap for my sarb017, but I really don't know where to begin. Around what price do you see diminishing returns in terms of quality? Is it worth it shelling out for a shell cordovan strap or should I go with chromexcel leather?

>>15208567
>You have to admit that there is a strong aesthetic resemblance though.
Of course.
Anywhere else this would've been a perfect suggestion.

But this is /wt/, so anything that costs more than a sack of potatoes is off limits.

>>15208563
If someone has the budget for it then why not?
Personally I think they are ugly, I have a friend who regularly buys flashy watches like pic related and I can't stand them.
Do some of you think they look good?
>>15208567
I picked my last watch based on price and function, I used it daily at work without being afraid it's gonna break and if it did at least it didn't cost me a lot, truth be told I didn't think I'd wear it for as long as I did when I got it.
And no, I don't want to be "a highschool mall ninja".

>>15208577
>Why have a collection of watches when you can have 4 watches in one

>>15208577
he is just shit talking, ignore it. your old watch is not mall ninja at all. it's pretty much a very standard design but made of plastic.

>>15208577
>If someone has the budget for it then why not?
Yes, but nobody on /wt/ has any kind of budget.

>>15208531
The Kamasu is a great watch, currently rocking a leather nato strap on mine.

>>15208593
I'm curious, do the leather nato straps not make it too thick? Like stick out higher?

>>15208593
>leather on diver

>>15208603
yes because it's a nato.
I'm not a fan of leather natos, it's kind of the worst of both worlds
>>15208605
nobody cares about that anymore

My old lady fell in love with the red grape dial Rolex. Now, she is neither the type to take care of her possessions, nor the one to wind a watch every so often. All her watches are sub-20 buck quartz fashion shitters that she almost never wears, except maybe when we go out. She is also the type to either break some shit or lose it.

So what chingchong copy do I get that has the aesthetic? Quartz, obviously, bonus points if it actually has some quality control and not the 1 buck aliwishexpress shit with 10 buck postage that falls apart in the envelope on the way over here.
100 buck budget cutoff, negotiable if it really catches the eye.

>>15208519
I'm probably just gonna throw a NATO on there for a everyday watch type thing. Bracelets pull on my arm hair too much

Actually it works by putting braking action, meaning it can only slow down and not speed up. Once the oils go out it'll go to shit just like any other mechanical.

>>15208689
>it works by putting braking action, meaning it can only slow down and not speed up
There would never be any need to speed up.
The mainspring would unwind in seconds if not for the spring drive regulator.

So long as the geartrain is still somewhat functional, spring drive will keep accurate time.
The electronics have to still work too, of course; but since there's no shit like capacitors or batteries, a spring drive's electronics should be good to last and last.

Hey /wt/

What is your fave €1000ish dressy casual watch?

>>15208691
There would be a need to speed up once the usual things that happen to a mechanical. Once friction (or reduced torque from old springs) kick on, the watch will slow down below the speed it needs to go, and thus will need servicing. I'm pretty sure you're a brand ambassador and not someone that owns a spring drive, but if you get one someday please bring it in for service every now and then.

>>15208697
So long as the geartrain still works a little bit, the mainspring will still want to unwind in a matter of seconds.

>>15208721
I have no idea what your problem is.

Without the regulating brake, a spring drive would unwind in a matter of seconds.
Even after decades of wear, so long as the geartrain is still marginally functional, the spring drive will still want to unwind in a matter of seconds.

Ginault is probably the best sub rip off available. Way better than any tudor that's for sure.

I don't understand posting these just to shit on them/ laugh at them. What's wrong with enjoying what you like? I haven't seen this type of mentality in any other hobby I know of. Some people enjoy watches and want don't have a tonne of disposable income to sink into their collection. I'm more of a one watch guy but some people want to build a large collection. The one other person I met irl who was into watches as much as i am was an old coworker who collected fucking casio. I don't get the hur dur >poorfag argument either because most people here hat watches above 10k, view them as poor bang for buck, consider them a bad financial decision, and claim that if one had that kind of cash they would be better off putting it toward something else. When someone posted kanye's collection everybody laughed at it just the same. Kind of starts coming off as laughing at it just to feel better about themselves.

That’s the 4chan mentality as a whole. This place is completely filled with insecure people who probably have no social life to speak and never learned to socialize either. Trying to anonymously shit on other people online is a coping mechanism to feel better about their pathetic life.

I know you’re just desperately fishing for U’s but more accurate comparison is cars, which people of low income can get into depending on the car. And before you say cars are practical whereas watches aren’t, people don’t buy old mustangs cuz they’re practical.

You can't really be "into cars" and poor anywhere in the world except America. But "American poor" also allows you to buy decent watches so...

Why are the square G-Shocks so fucking poorly designed in terms of accessing the actual functions? The chrono access and buttons in particular are absolutely abysmal, and that's practically the main function of the watch.

Just a reminder that this watch actively spies on your location and sends it god knows when and where.

>>15210054
It was made in like the 80s and the buttons were designed to be difficult to access so that they don't get accidentally pushed. The button design sucks ass which is why every G-Shock since ditched that crap but the square will never change because MUH HERITAGE

>>15210063

Yep it's the actual Ginault bracelet.
I think it's worth it if you want literally the best bracelet available south of 1000usd; I've held my mate Submariner and the glidelock is pretty much identical and the finishing is ALMOST (lets be clear, rolex is gonna be better) as good.
Pictured is a close up of the glide-lock mechanism.
>>15208934
I haven't had the actual watch head but looking at the bracelet I'd say theres probably something to that.
Course theres the so-called 'ethical debate' about buying a Sub-homage from a former hi-tier Rep maker, but I personally don't give a fuck.
