Omega watch with serial number 39050076, from 1976.

But enjoy posting "grails" that anybody with some money can just go and buy.

>>15408856

>>15408839
A colleague dissed my Tag the other day (pic related). I think it makes for a good entry-level daily driver - not too flashy, modern, solid build. Why do people do this?

Hi /wtg/, I don't wear a watch but I would like to. I have a couple of conditions:
> I have very small wrists so I need a smaller dial (34mm is probably the upper limit)
> Leather strap
> No preference on electric/mechanical movement
> Streamlined/minimal style, no extra dials on the face
> coloured face, I don't really like either black or white
> yellow gold chassis, not rose or silver

I have been looking at a build-your-own mechanical watch kit from a company called Rotate for some time. I think the quality would be pretty average compared to what you could buy for the same price from a professional, and also I hate the rose gold chassis. Can you recommend anything, or even just brands that make the sort of style I want?

>>15408869
>34mm
Not a whole lot that's modern and cheap (I'm guessing you're not going to spend more than 100~200$), as even women's watches are now in the 34~36mm range.

Vintage slav watches, a.e Pobeda, Poljot (de luxe line) and some Raketa watches (2209 Raketa movements are slim and small) and Timex Marlin handwound reissue come to mind but do post your actual budget and wrist size.

>>15408870
Wrist size is 6 1/4". I don't mind spending as much as $500 if it's on a watch that I absolutely love and would wear all the time.

I wear business casual all the time so I'd rather a dressier watch than something chunky, as long as it's not too fragile as I'd be wearing it every day.

Certainly more of the vintage watches in the newfag guide appealed to me than the contemporary designs but I'd be concerned about buying a fake/refurb since I don't know what I'm doing.

>>15408869

>>15408872
this isn't so bad, although it does look like rose gold (could be the lighting though), what model is it?

>>15408873
Filename m8.

>>15408871
If you're concerned about vintages you might as well post it here, probably at least a few /wt/ oldfags left besides me.

Though if your budget is up to 500$ that helps a lot as you can get a 34mm Seiko presage, automatic, excellent finish for the price along with unique dial color/textures in some and good reliability overall. Plenty of Seiko Dolce models that are 34~35mm you can also search for.

There's a few Tissot and Rado models that are also in the 34~35mm range but you might as well

>>15408875
I'm still finding it hard to find anything I like. I guess I'm fairly picky with what I want. Is it worth making my own? It seems to be just picking a movement, picking a chassis that fits that movement, picking a strap, then assembling it. Is it that simple? Then I guess I have no idea how to pick movements or any of the components really, and that I don't have the tools. All this feels very complicated.

>>15408876
>Given a bunch of models for a non standard size for a mans watch because of bitchwrists
>Plenty of decently priced and good quality options we're given despite unusual form factor
>"No i don't like any of these"
>"I'm picky and i want something that looks looks like a gold Chronomètre Bleu"
>"I want to assemble it on my own but i have no idea where to start"

You're making it really difficult to help anon, or for anybody to care enough to try helping. Last attempt is a Seiko Presage Blue Moon, the female version that is.

>>15408877
Or SRP841J1 and similar.

>>15408852

>>15408873
the SACM171 is the steel-colored version

>>15408867
yep, 50Hz. There were quite a few 50Hz stopwatches, though not too many that were rattrapantes.

What do you guys think?
It's a 28800 bph automatic

>>15408884
>It's a 28800 bph automatic
how impressive

What movement does it have

>>15408885
A chinese one, they don't specify. It is audible

>>15408843
Impressive if it's all mechanical.
How does it sync back up to the seconds hand like that?

>>15408887
Yes, it's all mechanical. A rattrapante resets just like any other chronograph, but in stead of the reference that the heart cam resets to being fixed to the case, it's fixed to the second hand.

>>15408868
Your colleague is probably a watch guy, and he's right. TAG's are the Fiat of luxury watches. They look flashy and expensive but they're actually not very well made and you want to get rid of them after a year. Mainly for tech bros and "babby's first luxury watch" fags.

>buying a watch with a nazi cross on the dial

yikes.

>>15408852
Omega Speedmaster Racing is my grail, Sinn U1 will be my daily.

Holy shit, fucking /g/ mods.

Fucking brainlet mods.

>>15408852

Did you mean Grill? or Grail?

>>15408897

The Aerospace wears much better on the wrist. The X-33 is massive at 45mm and very thick.

Also the Breitling is operable with a single pusher which is pretty cool and handy.

>>15408868

Take off all of your clothes, oil down your entire body, take your watch off, then meet him in the parking lot after work and absolutely kick his fucking ass, beat him down into a pulp.

If he holds a physical advantage, use a crowbar to initially disable him.

What's the reference on that tag actually I like it.

>>15408879
I really want them to make one of these that doesn't have that shitty foam metal bezel. the movement is kickass

>absolutely mogs patek
heh, nothing personnel kid

>>15409160
At least Patek doesn't plant a Nazi Cross right in the middle of their fucking watch.

>>15409131
that foam aluminium thing was only for the initial limited run. They have normal steel or ceramic cases now.

>>15409175
can you post one I'm literally only seeing foam bezels. they made the case not foam, but the bezel is still that way.

>>15409178

>>15409218
you know that doesn't have the relevant movement right? Not every watch called "zenith defy" has it.

>>15409218
the defy "inventor" line is the one that has the oscillator

>>15409224
why dont they call it something else then? stupid brand

>>15409245

do you get confused when you go to the grocery store and you see crunchy peanut butter and smooth peanut butter? do you think they shouldn't be called "peanut butter" since they're not the same thing?

>>15408897
Fuck, thanks to /g/'s mods I have the same post in two threads on here now.

>>15408932
Yeah, I figured that'd be about the case. The Omega seems like it's easier to use though, single pusher sounds cool but I see a lot of complaints in reviews about it not working all that well.

>>15409285
>both called zenith defy
>both look the same

anyone browsing would just assume the extra word classic or inventor refers to the small style difference and nothing more

and your example is very stupid and dishonest because they are still the same core product (peanut butter) just different levels of coarseness. This is very different from what is presented here.

>always lived VC and thought they were underrated
>people here would always say they shouldn't even be considered a holy trinity
>mocked and ridiculed for like them over AP
>VC slowly becoming a fan favourite due to contrariness
I need to buy a patrimony or something before the prices sky rocket

>>15409316
classic and inventor are the same core case shape (defy case shape) but with different types of movements. it's a proper comparison you're just dense

>>15409317
get a used overseas, I guarantee they'll double in 10yr

>>15409339
its not, are you a fanboi or what

its like labelling 2 jars of peanut butter with the same jars that look the same, but calling it "peanut butter extra" and "peanut butter classic". But one is made with sweeteners and roasted soibeans instead of real sugar and peanuts.

Tell me about Zeppelin watches. They look pretty cool. Are they a meme brand?

What are some quartz watches that are similar to this one? Preferably without the digital screen.

>>15409837
I bought a datejust and I'm larping as a big dick chad now

>>15409905
They are made by german company PointTEC wich also made the older Junkers watches. I have the Junkers F13 Eisvogel, it's really well made so I assume that the Zeppelins are good too.

>>15408856
What the fuck do you wear everyday if a white gold vc is your daily?

>>15409905
I used to have the Zeppelin LZ127 GMT, it was pretty cool. It used a Ronda movement that was modified to display the second time zone on a 4th hand rather than on a wheel as it does in other watches with that movement.

>>15408868
He didn’t diss the watch, he dissed you. He doesn’t respect you and you’re too retarded to even pick up on this.

>>15410074
>>15410065

the case shape is extremely retro

its pvd steel?

>>15410074
It's a Зим пoбeдa (Zim Pobeda)
On the dial, Poccия is written in Cyrillic which means Russia in Russian.

>>15410068
I got mine in a sale on Amazon for £50 I think, then sold it for about £70 a couple of years later.

>>15410088
That is ugly and this is coming from a guy with 4 Vostoks and a box full of Casios.

>its soviet vintage?
Its new old stock from 1993
Its all in working order too and keeping good time, its a hand wind mechanical movement of some sort.

>>15410101
I usually don't like watches like these, but there's something about this one I really like for some reason but idk what it is. Where did you buy it from? Did the seller have any more of them in stock or just the one? The condition is outstanding, it has to have sat in a warehouse or something somewhere for the last 25 years. The dial is gorgeous.

>>15410101
>>15410122
i like the old storybook-esque illustration
its certainly quite different as watches go

if it were a conventional gold round case I would have liked it more, then again but this form of vintage soviet style case shape with the concave corners isnt done anymore

>>15410126
There was a couple others with variation of it with gold and silver cases and different coloured dials that were black and i think another colour.
Ive seen another dial with the jumping horses uncolored too, so it was just the line work.

I like this one and its has a very subtle sunburst dial that really makes the blue stand out more in the light.

>where did you get it
Got it from Ebay and can be found by searching 'Trio of horses'

>>15410088
How do you even go about bending a spring bar, not to mention two?

>>15409393
Nice Dan Henry bro

>>15408901
Are you retarded?
The iron cross has been used since the 1800s and is still used today, it is very far from a "nazi cross" (hakenkreuz). You need to sit down and read a fucking book once in a while.

>>15410164
Not the Anon you're responding to, but that's just how some Soviet springbars look. I'm pretty confident that isn't damage you're looking at. I have several watches like this, and they all have a single small ding in the ends on the springbars which I always assumed had something to do with how the springbars are assembled. Vostok springbars from the same period have weird grooves in them too in around the same spot. Pic related.

>>15410164
Those are the original spring bars, ive changed them to a smaller set so i could put the strap on it.
Its just how Soviet ones are manufactured
Got comparison of its original one to a Vostok spring bar (on the right)

>>15410189
That's not even a maltese cross, it's a cross pattée

>>15408843
that's cool as fuck. any wrist watches like it?

>>15410237
I can't think of any 50Hz rattrapante wrist chronographs off the top of my head. There are certainly rattrapante wristwatches, and 50Hz chronograph wristwatches (thought not a lot of the latter). It's possible Tag has made a microtimer rattrapante that I'm not aware of, but I kind of doubt it.

>>15409913
I would appreciate it if someone could give any recommendations.

What happend /wt/? What happend!? Why are you so fucking inactive???

>>15410346
there is like 7 different watch threads on /fa/ right now. There are 2 main threads, 1 seiko shitter thread and a casio shitter thread. of cos it'd be slow

>>15410346
This was the /g/ thread and then the mods over there moved it here, creating two /wtg/s at the same time, and the original /fa/ one is more active.

>>15410346
The previous /wt/ on /fa/ had a faggot intentionally trying to derail the thread by pitting the poorfags against the richfags, when it didn't work he threw a bitch fit and started a new thread 40 posts early.
So another anon started a /wt/ on /g/, it got moved back here and now the poorfags have started their own threads for seikos and casios and there's two /wt/, all over one faggot throwing a fit because anyone would dare post about a watch that's cheaper than a Rolex

I need your help, fellas.
So I took out my Tisell after a while out of the box, wound it, set the time and it has been all ok.
A day later I wanted to wind it a bit through the crown (automatic, pushdown crown), then all of a sudden the crown got really stiff. I tried the opposing direction which is normally very light, but after a few turns, it got stiff as well. Obviously Im not moving it any further, but what could be the cause? The watch is about 1,5y/o. Still goes, keeps time, hasnt been opened ever.

Should I send it back right away?

>>15411407
yes they are
but orient has a quadrillion SKUs and too many of their watches straddle the line of quirky VS ugly (pic related)

also it doesnt help that many of their watches can only be found in certain parts of asia. The orient (tristar) that I really want cant even be found outside of 3rd world shitholes. There is one shop in colombia of all places that has it but I dont speak spic, and the russian seller on ebay that has it is not shipping now because of the covid situation.

>>15411917
the term shitter is often used semi-jokingly or as a term of affection here

the price of a watch isnt directly tied to how nice it looks anyway, there are many expensive watches that look like shit and arent worth the money. There are definitely nice pieces you can get for under $1000 or even $500, although obviously you cant expect the same as a $250,000 bovet.

Post watch memes

Hey guys I just got into watches. Is there a way to make money buying/reselling them? Like sniping some watches off Ebay or the thrift store, replacing battery and/or strap (or maybe even fucking with a broken automatic movement to get it working) cleaning it up, etc and then re-selling? If so, what would be some good targets?

Just fucking buy it already.

Considering buying a baby-g square with radio + solar to swap into my black standard baby-g square case, it would have a nice almost entirely black out look but with a positive display. Only issue is I'm paying $120 + the $65 for my current watch just to get a slightly smaller 5610 with a slightly cleaner face.
Pic related the bdg-5000

>>15413294
And my current bgd-560

>oil your straps

what the hell do they mean by this

Put a black-grey-black-grey-black NATO strap on my Seiko 5 and it simultaneously looks very cool and very dumb (because it stands even higher than usual).

Thanks Teddy...

>>15413273
I did, I'm waiting on it

>>15413309
Nice! I really like mine. The module is pretty cool, I like the world time feature and the display looks great.

the modded Casioak looks awful.

>>15413212
My Neptune took just over a month to get to the UK.

>>15413299

>>15413234
Wear with with 2 planes and a parachute instead.

>>15413234
>>15413331
Or a submarine.

>>15413326
Even if I do that it still wouldn't work with that fat bottom. I put its own metal bracelet back, it looks better than way and I like how it feels.

>>15413325
Post some more pictures of it. What do you think of it? How is the bracelet?

Halp pls. Parents will renounce me if I wear a Rolex. My dream watches would have been Rolex Explorer I or Flight Master 5500. Can you point me to something along these lines? Should possibly have the bitches attraction factor of the aforementioned. White gold calatrava is beyond budget, reverso possibly a bit to oldtimey although awesome.

What does he wear?

because it's a Rolex or because it's impractical and wasteful to spend 10K on a wristwatch?

???

>>15413433
Because it’s a Rolex. They associate it with show off gangsters and shady business people. Wouldn’t know about any other brand.

>>15413437
I work in banking but have a good enough relationship with my parents to spend most Sundays there and some COVID-19 home office days outside of the city.

>>15413371
It seems pretty good, much better than a standard Amphibia.
The bracelet is a step up too, decent solid steel links that are polished in the centre and brushed on the outside with a milled clasp. It still uses split pins but they work well enough.
It's a good alternative to a lower end Seiko 5 imho.

>>15413417
Assuming this isn't a weird shitpost, Grand Seiko probably makes the best Explorer alternatives within the price range. If it has to be a well-known Swiss brand I guess a Seamaster Aqua Terra would be the best bet. Some of the Breitling Superocean models might also appeal to somebody who likes the Explorer.

>>15413451
I wouldn't buy a Russian watch that wasn't made in USSR. No reason to buy this shit. USSR has sentimental value. This Russia has no value.

>>15413448
Just get a Grand Seiko, bruh.

Putin's Russia is literally cyrillic nigeria

>>15413456
Both are shit.

>>15413371
>>15413451
The lume seems okay too.
If Vostok used this bracelet, with solid end links added on the Amphibia and just slightly bumped the price they would make a killing.

>>15413466
USSR was god tier.

>>15413448
ffs just don't wear wear at your folks' place

>>15413456

>>15413455
>Should possibly have the bitches attraction factor
Not happening with a GS. Unless you think he's gonna meet that one in million woman who is into watches, which is highly unlikely.
>>15413417
You'll have to step it up then. Get a Royal Oak or something recognizable.

>>15413455
Grand Seiko is a aesthetically superior to both of my suggestions. But I’d worry that Stacy brainlets will interpret these as “japanese shitters”. Background to the rolo bitches connection is that a friend of mine and me were hitting on a bimbo in parallel one night and at one point she gazed at his watch and competition was settled for that night. I took it as a good sport but I was impressed on the effect these five letters have on female brains.

>>15413485
Jupp, I guess I’ll defer the purchase for another year and just go with the royal oak extra thin.

>>15413485
Yeah I was afraid that'd be an issue. For what it's worth, though, an Explorer or Air King isn't much better off, the kind of vapid bitch that'll suck your dick over a watch won't recognize a Rolex unless it's gold or two-tone with the serrated bezel and a jubilee/president bracelet or MAYBE a pepsi GMT.

>>15413443
On the note of >>15413502, do your parents actually know what the Rolex models you're looking at actually look like? They might feel different if it isn't the stereotypical gold Datejust that most people picture when they hear the name "Rolex."

>>15413502
Personally, I'd just buy the Rolex I wanted and get a Citizen or something to wear around the folks to avoid the drama.
To each his own, I guess

>>15413478
Iceland sounds like a pretty based country.

>>15413512
Good point. A reason for me to get a luxury watch (I’m usually a SARB guy) is that while I’m comfortable bragging on line I’m to humble to perform the showing off that is usually part of the mating ritual at least in bars and clubs. The choice of flight and explorer might evidence this to some degree. I want something that does the talking for me. I guess royal oak would really be that although beyond my intended range. Thanks for your input guys, I’m slightly tipsy and will head to bed now.

Fuck commies

Fuck you. Communism was soul.

am i totally fucked if i buy something from japan? I want an oceANUS but can only find them from japanese sellers. am i gonna be like the vostok fellas and just be waiting months on end if i buy it?

>>15413574

japanese sellers are literally the most reliable watch sellers on the internet.

i’ve bought from seiyajapan 3 times and i swear that mother fucker ships orders within 5 minutes of receiving a notification. i have received his orders faster than i do mail from inside my own state.

>>15413570
Capitalism creates luxury watches, communism creates garbage watches and starvation and death of millions.

>>15413591
Communism creates a sense of purpose, camaraderie. Capitalism creates incels

>>15413544
OK, stop right there. It's not gonna work. Don't waste your money on a watch to impress women. The kind of chick that works on wants a certain kind of guy, and you ain't it, and if a Royal Oak is something you'd have to save up for then you can't afford that kind of chick either. Buy a watch to impress yourself, maybe to impress colleagues or employers if you're in a world where that matters, but don't waste your time and money doing it to impress women, especially not vapid club sluts.

You really wanna spend a bunch of money to make yourself more attractive, use it on something that actually makes YOU more confident and cool as a person, like getting a pilot's license or a year with a personal trainer or some shit.

>>15413595
You have a retarded and deluded understanding of what communism is

>>15412128
Yes. The darker one pictured.

rec me a brutalist watch

People irl are probably going to respond better to your choice than mine but I just have an autistic thing against subdials.

>>15413580
im just concerned bc of covid. but seiya is an option im looking at so its cool to hear he ships fast.

>>15413595
bro you respond to random threads with weights and your shitty pizza habits. its your fault your an incel

get it?

>>15413623
Bulgari Octo Finissimo.

>>15413654
not him, but that's actually a decent choice. it's both ugly yet aesthetically compelling, which is fundamentally my personal reaction to brutalist architecture

finissimo is more art deco

no because AP basically owns the fucking patent for octagon watches (fuck them)

Holy fuck the more I look at it the more I hate it.

>>15413741
that unironically looks like a Rite Aid shitter from the early 00s

Speaking of pizza, Stromboli is currently on sale, best tasting supermarket pizza over here.

>>15413901
i see you got some nice avocados too

>>15413973
50 cents each

they have some squishy old avocados for like 10 cents each, but these are the top grade and decent price

although the cheap avocados are fine for veggie smoothies with spinach, onion, tomatoes, etc

>>15413741
There are better versions of it, but that particular one definitely isn't worth what it costs

>that watch he displays
is that supposed to be a nice watch? It's npc trash I would assume is a fake and utterly generic and ugly

>>15408844
sorry didn't read the meme but that watch is generic, utterly uninteresting NPC shit

I would go with a vintage Submariner, for example. I wouldn't buy any modern luxury watch.

>>15411384
Not going to lie, everything you post in /wt/ my dick gets a little harder

>>15413297
Leather needs to be cared for, you have to moisturize it(with a leather care product) occasionally to restore the oils it naturally contains.

>>15414319
i just rub my straps across my oily face, not even joking.

>>15408897
Had both, get the x33, by far the better watch. Easier to read and use, looks better to. Evo is less balanced, will not age well (already looks dated).

>>15409393
Saw this in person, wouldn't give you 10k for it.

>>15409905
Look okay, you could have worse taste.

>>15414327
That's actually probably better than nothing, but come in dude if you really refuse to buy leather conditioner you could at least use hand moisturizer.

>>15414348
Agreed that they're way overpriced.
I'd still love to own a real one

>>15408879
That oscillator is a neat idea, but I'd hate seeing it vibrating on my wrist all the time like that. It's like wearing a disgusting insect. Please hide it in the case.

>>15414368
leather conditioners like mink oil is used because its closest to human sebum

but why even use those when I have actual human sebum sitting on my face

it makes sense for a boot as its so big. But a couple of small straps? er nah

>>15414373
It looks like something that Invicta would make, and not in a good way

It's possible, but extremely unlikely, you gotta know what you're doing, and you're competing with loads of other people. For cheap watches, you're not likely to get much back after you're expenses (though you won't lose much either). With expensive watches, you probably won't get them in the first place, and if you fuck anything up you're losing everything (and when starting watch repair you will fuck up a lot).
