What's the point of Rolex if Bond was even wearing a Casio in one movie?

>>15217751
That's really nice anon, wish I could afford such fine timepieces such as yours. I'll just keep on rocking my Vostok.

>>15217751
That would literally be the perfect field watch if not for the cut off numerals. Otherwise, all good.

Massena speaks

>>15217751
Someone from Phillips Auctions had this to say about Hamilton. They know a thing or two about watches.

Hey bros, I wanna treat myself to a half dressy/daily watch after getting a big promotion. Budget is around €1500.

I'm taking my time looking all over, Sinn, Hamilton, Stowa, Nomos, Longines and Frederique Constant, but so far my top pick is pic related (Oris). I read that they are overpriced for the movement (Sellita SW200), how big of a deal is this? I was also looking at used Omegas, but I don't wanna dive into those waters yet.

What are your thoughts /wt/?

It’s the same autist who posts daily

>>15217778
Goldeneye he had a Rolex or omega. I think it was a seamaster

>>15217804
Don't buy entry level luxury mall brands such as Longines, FC, or Oris. They're a scam meant to get you to spend money even if you can't afford a real watch.

Sinn makes sense (although their watches have bullshit thickness in a lot of cases) because of the German technology meme, similar goes for Stowa, Hamilton is a bullshit brand now but there's the American heritage meme, other than that there's fuck all in the sub-Speedy range. I would just buy a $500 watch instead, and either save money for a real watch, or forget about watches and happily wear the $500 shitter until I die.

>>15217804
I feel like Oris has a Swiss made tax attached to it, but they’re nice. SW200 is still a reliable movement and you probably won’t get better movement specs until you’re in the $3000+ range.

With that said, autists make a huge deal about movements or in house movements and most of those opinions are just parroting what they read on a forum one time. It’s really not that important if it’s relatively accurate.

You should buy the design that speaks to you the most.

>>15217809
He also wore a toupee in most movies, should you get those too?

Oh wait.

I work in Fast food. If you wear a Vostok everyone will think you’re a freak. Casio, Timex or Citizen if you’re just starting out, Seiko or Orient if you’re higher up. That’s the rules. Litereally nobody other than watch forum weirdos are impressed by Vostok.

>>15217804
I like it man. Everybody says everything with a eta/sellita is overpriced but i don't think anybody has an idea of when a brand shouldnt use those movements.

>>15217816
If it looked like a swiss fucking watch, I might

>>15217817
If you're a shift manager and don't have a TAG or Omega you're a massive loser.

And if you're not even a shift manager yet and you're over 18 you fucked up in life.

>>15217804
This designs stinks of "college kid who finally bought his first pair of long trousers" btw.

>>15217812
Oris was founded in Switzerland in 1904 and has remained an independent brand.

Some of y’all are so fucking retarded And have zero understanding of markets and brands other than what you’ve invented with your autism

None of them have any experience with either most likely. You also see autist debating over ETA and SW200 when they are identical

I work in Tag Heuer. If you wear a Tag Heuer everyone will think you’re a freak. Nomos or Jugnhans if you’re just starting out, Omega or Rolex if you’re higher up. That’s the rules. Litereally nobody other than watch forum weirdos are impressed by Tag Heuer.

Don't buy entry level luxury watch brands such as Rolex, Omega, or Tudor. They're a scam meant to get you to spend money even if you can't afford a real watch.

Save up until you can but a real watch (Patek, A.Lange, Phillips Dufour)

>>15217779
What's the Vostok look like?

pic unrelated

>>15217877
Dumb attempt, 90% of people will never wear a real suit and be in the right socioeconomic class to wear a Lange etc. while Rolex is just a generic "I'm not poor" brand that everyone who's not a complete failure can afford and wear everywhere, so let's be realistic and not recommend $50k watches.

I wouldn't recommend buying a Tudor, Omega is fine as a backup as long as you already have a Rolex though.

i'm looking to buy my first watch that isn't a n*xon or whatever. I'm kinda leaning towards this seiko 5, what do you all think?

I would probably swap it onto a leather nato strap.

I could not imagine a watch less suited to be put on a NATO strap

That piece should retain its bracelet and shine in its late 70s/early 80s glory

>>15218078
i think the mostly blue (but not all blue) one looks preddy gud

>>15218092

>I work in Fast food. If you wear a Vostok everyone will think you’re a freak.
WTF kind of fast food do you work at that people will recognize such a rare watch?
I call bullshit.
Or maybe it's because you got pic related, but work at burger king?

>>15218025
Really?
How hard can it be to let me give it the time from the watch, pull a time from the network, and then 24h later, ask me to do that again.
Oh well, gotta jury rig it, then.
How can you acces the full timestamp of a pic in iOS? Should be somewhere in the exif, I guess.

>>15218175
If you want to do period measurements, rather than instantaneous measurements, use a decent computer with NTP-synced time. But trying to regulate your watch without an instantaneous measurement is going to be hell.

>>15218078
Doesn't look that bad. The blue/red is classic GMT and the puke green is probably just their lume. I agree, the green ain't that cool, but could be worse.
How much is it?

Not looking for it to become a SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMOTER, I just figured if it's running to slow, I'll speed it up a bit, and if it's still running too slow, I'll speed it up again, just whenever I have some time to tinker with it. I fully expect this process to take weeks.

>>15218186
IIRC the Farer Worldtimers are like 1500 dollars which is crazy value for a world timer.

>>15218193
Well, that's just, like your opinion, man!

>>15218157
Buy a shitty vintage watch from a brand like doxa, sicura, etc... and toss the watch.

>>15218193
Just look at that subtle off-white coloring!

>>15218012
>>15218175
They don't wait 24 hours, they take the sound coming from the watch and make a measurement that way. Used to have some app that did tons of frequency stuff and if you configured it just the right way, you could use it as a timegrapher. Too bad I forgot to write down the name of the app when I switched phones.

>>15218210
the tasteful thickness of it…

>>15218215
Oh my God, it even has an engraved crown!

I want a HOMOS Tetra but I can't justify spending 2000$ for it. I kind of wish there was a tiny dip of lume at the end of the hands too, just a couple millimeters enough to see the time in the dark.

>>15218211
Wildspectra is often used. But it's honestly not very good. Modern phone process architecture just doesn't really support the kind of realtime process scheduling you need to do that well. Other apps like ticktoprint, etc are even worse.

I'm gonna buy a quartz Tissot Gentleman

>>15218234
Oh yeah, wildspectra was the one. Honestly, it does ok. I took a watch I knew was +13 s/d and it gave me a variation from 8-14, so it's not terrible.

>>15217927
>Is it brittle?
Yes. That and it's much harder to machine than stainless steel.

I like almost everything nomos does, but somehow, the Tetra ain't for me. If square, I'd go Monaco.

>>15218224
>>15218303
Not a fan of the 3ATM water resist on the Tetra. That's the dealbreaker for me. 3ATM is basically no water resistance at all so a humid day could fuck your watch up.
>b-b-but it's a dress watch you're not taking it to the swamp what are you indiana jones?
In this modern age there is no fucking reason for every single watch to not have 100m water resistance baseline.

>>15218105
A bracelet is not dressy at all.

>>15218305
What is the point of the gay california dial? I thought people hated asymmetry in watches but they want the watch to be half arab half roman?

>>15218312
o really? i thought 'splash proof' would mean resistant to humidity? that certainly is off putting, although i do live in fairly dry climate.

I'm not really a huge fan of Homos but i have to give them credit for actually making properly sized watches. They have a surprising number of 35 and 36mm pieces. I also like that they have a nodate option for most models. Too bad about the whole comically long lugs thing. I'd say the minimatik is the best out of their current offerings.

>>15218342
i think is looks kind of interesting. people value symmetry up to a point, but nobody wants a completely symmetrical watch do they? it would just be a circle with identical markers and no text. I believe that symmetry is just one component of the abstract term 'balance' (possible the biggest component, but i am not a designer or artist so i dont know). Kind of like how you want a high level of symmetry in an attractive face but completely symmetric photoshops of people just look weird. In this case I like how the roman numerals are mirrored about the longitudinal axis of the watch and the added weight and visual interest detracts from the small seconds register, which i slightly too central on the face owing to the small caliber.

>>15218344
Water resistance is tricky and deceptive. Water resistant to 3ATM means 30 meters. Only 1 ATM is sea level and all the ATM measurements are tested in still water, when you're not doing anything. 100M water resistance is considered fine for light swimming but unless the watch has a screw-down crown it could still get water in it, and then humidity and vapor and stuff like that can get inside your watch when normal water might not.
If you're going purely by the text, 3ATM sounds good if you're not going to take your watch straight up diving because water should be kept out even during a swim, right? But in actuality it could mean that a rainstorm or a particularly humid summer can damage your watch. Or you could fall off a boat and nothing could happen at all.

>>15218437

>>15218412
I think the Seiko looks better.

>>15218412
I'd get the seiko. The visodate has flat slab-like sides that make it look pretty thick.

>>15218412
This isn't even close. The Seiko looks like a SARY055 which is far more tastefully proportioned albeit with slightly large lugs and could have stood to be 39-40mm instead of the 41.5 that it is. The chemically blued hands are much better than the standard finishing on the Tissot and the day/date is executed much more elegantly. The finishing is also superior.

to me visodate is easily the handsomer watch.
it's probably a safe bet that the Seiko movement is objectively better, but that could only be a few seconds per day. tissot isn't anything special but it's not complete garbage, either.

This plus that Speedmaster are what really got me liking milanese.

seiko is coming out with new line of 38.5 mm cocktail times. different styling, curious to see how that dial looks in photos and if they retain the box dome crystal of the original

>>15218944
That dial pattern looks real nice. Not big on the numerals though.

>>15218944
Wow that looks really compelling although in typical Seiko fashion there's always a catch. The crown doesn't seem to fit the watch, too industrial. Some kind of onion crown to match the radiating look of the dial would have been neat.

>>15218944
Keep the dial, decrease font size and use a more angular looking font, flatten the crown a bit and voila, the perfect Seiko Presage.

I'm sorry Sinn is an absolute garbage and aren't worth half the asking price. Don't take my word for it, go Google a quick AB test on Sinn vs. X Swiss Brand for 5 min and you'll see how disproportionately Sinn watches have issues either out of the box or early in their lives. The value proposition is even worse now because they've been cucked by Swatch Group over ETA movements and are now putting in throw away Sellita movements without being honest and upfront about it. It's a clone only in architecture, you have the entire value chain that affects the end quality and Sellita is no where near ETA, not for another decade. But hey if you still want to buy a Sinn because validation from Reddit and anonymous Burmese underwater basket weaving forum feels good, go for it.

>>15219116
>have issues either out of the box or early in their lives.
Like what?

>>15219116
You're talking out your ass friend. Sellita movements are plenty reliable and Sellita literally manufactured the ETA movements for ETA for decades before establishing their own separate line of clone movements. If you have lower end ETA prior to 2003 there's an almost 75% chance it was made by Sellita. I don't know why you think that there's some major shortfall to them when major Swiss luxury brands (like Oris and Tag Heuer) use them interchangeably with ETA movements depending on platform and availability.

Omega would absolutely dominate if they

2. Making a limited edition Speedmaster every 24hr and price gouging
3. Bring back more class and sensibility to their watch designs. Too many are hipsters and millennial baits and guess what these are not your core audience that is buying them full MSRP at your AD. Simple, restraint and masculine steel sport Omega are absolutely timeless and will always be desirable.

BLACKSHIELD the TUDOR
bio: blackshield was born with a special power. he was a better chronograph than all the other watches in the swiss fghting academy. he served in the swiss military fighting omega and in the final battel against omega they were fighting and rolex turned him to the darkness and blackshed turned against rolex and killed him. he lost part of his snowflake in the battle which is why he doesnt not have snowflake hour hand, pls stop PMing me askin me why thats why. also snowflakes arent gurly fuck you grandseiko everyone knos ur a fuckin quartz scammer fagott

It could break just from having the band being tightened too much.

This watch is so cool looking I wish they made it in normal size. Like 8mm would be nice, still very thin but a good amount of presence and you wouldn't fear it breaking if you accidentally put your hand down too hard.

Shit like Seiko and entry level garbage like LONG JEAN and ORIS are just advanced coping mechanisms to avoid the truth: you're a loser and everything that went wrong in your life is your own fault. you could have gotten everything you wanted, including a Rolex, if you tried a little harder. you're not even catastrophically bad in a way that might give you some fame, no, you're just mundane, boring, average, standard. there's nothing that makes you special and nothing that makes you worth being loved. whether you're an "alpha minus" going through $500-$1500 watches by the dozens or a shitter hoarder seething at people who buy mechanical watches, you're the same: a fuckup. not due to some great external factor like kikes, niggers or drumpf, nor due to some internal plight like having acne or depression or tfw to intelegent to socialize. there's a dozen steps you could take right this instant to lead you to the life you claim to want, but the truth is the life you really want is the one you already have, wallowing in mediocrity and making sarcastic quips at anyone who shines a light on your inconsistencies. millions of high quality timepieces are out there, and all it would take for you to get one is the right amount of dominance, the right amount of presence and the right amount of stability. all of you have it in you. but here you are, saying "fuck that shit I'll just get a seiko lmao", as if living life was an effort and as if being a slob was any better. cringe t b h

No. I thought Casio having a watch that said ANUS on the dial was bad but that says CUM. It literally has CUM on the dial.

>>15219294
Based. They wear quite small for a 45mm case too.

>>15219626
This one is 3.65mm thick.

>>15219799
All auto watches should have a power reserve indicator, if it triggers you, have it on the back side. Same with the specs of the watch. I dont need to read the manual every time I check the time, I know damn well what the watch specs are. Again, keep it for the back lid, if you really must.

To add:
>unreasonably yuge and above all OVERLY THICK watches with tiny movements.

>>15219799
>>Omega helium escape valve
What even does that do?
Of course it's useless for about any user, as is the whole 200m waterproof thing, but that seems useless for the people that actually take the thing diving.
As far as I understand it, it's to let out the He that's in the breathing mixture for really deep diving. But how does the He get to your watch? Your mouthpiece is in your mouth, so there's a meter of water between your watch and any free He.
The only way I can think of to get the watch exposed to He is if you're in a dive bell. And that's like less than 1% of all divers this applies to.
Please redpill me about He excape valves

>>15219806
Lol, nice poorfag LARP.
Why would anyone go through so much effort to write such a lengthy shitpost?

>>15219868
>A small, spring-loaded one-way valve integrated in the watch case that is activated when the differential between the inner and the outside pressure reaches a critical level. As a result; the valve releases the helium, hydrogen and/or other gases used in the breathing gas mix trapped inside the watch case.

Basically, usually you decompress, but if you don't, there's a mechanism that prevents helium mixed with other gases that are trapped inside the watch to pop the watch from the inside using a release valve.

>>15219875
I understand what it does, but I don't understand how those gasses from the breating gas get into the watch in the first place. The watch is on your arm. In the water. Far away from anything that's not water.

>>15219885
Helium escape valves are a meme that don't actually do anything. But they are included on "serious" dive watches because consumers fell for the meme and it's easier to just include them than to educate consumers that they are unnecessary. They might maybe have some application in saturation diving but even there they probably don't do anything.

>>15219812
I sell them on Facebook and craiglist equivalent in my country. What are you trying to sell?

>>15219890
watch making has been flexing a good few hundred years since electricity was widespread, people always were and always will put something unnecessary on a watch

>>15219012
The vacheron patrimony costs exactly the same as a saxonia, because they're direct competitors

>>15219885
Helium is extremely rare in seawater usually.
However, some parts of the world like the Bermuda Triangle have an abundance of noble gases escaping to the surface, helium being one of them.

>>15219892
Vaguely considering selling one of the divers I don't wear anymore (mostly due to its size). Mostly just curious about which site anons here find is the best to sell on.

So the free He in the water accumulates in the watch, from the water, not from the breathing gas?

Anime when?

I wear a suit a lot, what's a good watch that doesn't cost too much?

>>15219936
If you wear a suit you should probably wear a dress watch, modern standards for dress watches have changed, having a date feature was once a no go if you are wearing a suit. Something that is less than 40mm diameter, has a black or white dial and baton indicies on a leather strap, you can get a mall tier one if you arent an enthusiast, or you can do a bit of research and learn about the types of watches and the difference between movements and join in on the watch fun. What is your actual budget and what is the likely hood you wont wear it after a week, if you spent more you can recoup losses by better resale vakue, if you spend less than $200 there is a good chance that the watch is close to worthless after it has heen used and eBay takes their comission

>>15219952
>What is your actual budget
I was thinking around 300-400

>>15219936
whats your commitment? if you just want a "set and forget" watch just get a quartz. Mechanical watches demand some attention and care, but many like that.

>>15219958

>>15219936
I guess an Orient Bambino or a Seiko Presage might do the trick.

>>15219956
The topic is covered pretty good on YouTube, start browsing and see what you like, maybe give a post here before you pull the trigger, it can be too easy to pay a couple hundred for a watch slapped together in China that should cost $5, but charge $250.

>H. R. Giger design

what is the best everyday steel watch i can buy in the $5-10k AUD price range. I don't want anything that is too precious or dressy that I have to baby it constantly while wearing it.
nothing larger than 40mm, preferably under 40mm and the thiner the better.
no awkward date placement. Dial colour preference would be white, black, or blue.
Preferably something that works on a bracelet and a leather strap equally well.

He escape valves are for saturation divers. When diving in deep water you can't just send the diver down as their body needs time to adapt to the huge pressure, so they put the divers into a chamber on the deck of the boat and pressurise it slowly to the depth they'll be working at. Once pressurised, they enter a detachable part called the bell, which is then lowered into the water. There's a door in the bottom which they open and since the air pressure inside the bell is the same as the water pressure outside the water cannot flow in. They do the job, get back into the bell, and get lifted to the surface where they reattach to the chamber. Saturation divers can spend a week or more in the chamber, going down in the bell to do more work and then back up, eating, sleeping etc, pressurised the entire time. Once the work is finished they will decompress the chamber, and here's where the He escape valve comes in. At pressures this high, many gasses like nitrogen and even oxygen itself become toxic so the divers are breathing mostly helium (>300m they even need to switch out the helium for hydrogen). After spending a week under pressure all that helium will work it's way into your watch and equalise the pressure. Once you start to decompress the chamber the pressure differential between inside your watch and out will cause the crystal to pop out, which is why you need a way for the gas inside to escape. A long winded explanation but I though some people here might be interested in how sat diving works.
Pic is what happens when you open the door while under pressure

I want to swap out my date disc on my watch to a black one but I don't have the tools to do that myself. Would a watchmaker charge a lot to do that kind of thing? About how much?

How do you display your watches? Or do they go straight into a safe?

>>15220837
I don't. I wear them so I just have the two or three that I wear on a tray and anything I don't wear but still keep for sentimental reasons or whatever, I wrap in some socks and store in a shoebox.

>>15220837
In a display in the safe

I work in a normal place. If you wear an analog wartch everyone will think you’re a freak. Digital casio, fitbit if you’re just starting out, Apple watch or no watch at all if you’re higher up. That’s the rules. Litereally nobody other than watch forum weirdos are impressed by an analog watch

Not thanks for the pic. But it does illustrate the point.
So I was kinda right with my dive bell and 0.001% of those few that take it diving assumptions. But I didn't know those details about the pressure chamber at surface level. But the whole thing totally makes sense. I'd assume those are "technical divers" or whatever you call them, working with oil rigs underwater and whatnot, but certainly not your average boomer diving around the Bahamas or something.

>>15220900
According to the WUS thread I stole it from, no one even thought that those really exist, so >How hard is to get one

Well the only watches left on are ugly ones then, people like watches for aesthetic. Popular models are popular because they look good.
