>Oh yeah I forgot to mention - when some wallet actually has a coin pouch, and comes in a Euro size, it doesn't have RFID protection. Just can't get that for some reason, especially from mid-high end brands, it seems they're both not putting RFID protection in and not making coin pockets on purpose.

>>15432882
I have several wallets that I use depending on the occasion. If I know I'm carrying cash I want one with a coin pocket, it's that simple. But I don't always carry cash, so having a card wallet or long wallet that I can switch to comes in handy

Unless you're wearing zoot suit oversized pants, that wallet will bulge out of literally every pant and look awful. From dress pants to chinos to jeans. Even in a pair of Wrangler Straight leg Relaxed fit jeans will that wallet look awful.

And while I do understand that the men autistically involved in the intricacies of watches generally don't care about style, please do try to remember that we're on the /fa/ board and we like to try and keep things effay here.

>stick with the emo skin tight jeans fad
How old are you, lmfao?

Wearing a pair of these effay certified trousers will look horrendous with that wallet. It would bulge out like a mountain.

That's fair, having multiple wallets is useful. Though I generally don't see any occasion where it necessitates bringing 10+ cards. But having a long wallet that can hold bills and a few coins crisply is useful, so long as you have a place to put the wallet that doesn't look bad.

>>15432951

You're afraid of AIDS? I mean, I know it can be something to fear when you're gay, but AIDS isn't as big of a deal among gay people as it was in the 80s. Especially with preventative drugs that pretty much bring the risk down to 0%, and when used in conjunction with condoms, the risk is essentially 0.

So don't worry, even though you're gay I'm sure you won't get AIDS if you take the proper steps.

My chinkshit ST16 does -8s/d on the reg. A lucky NH35 I have does -0.5s/d when worn and kept crown up overnight. My Boctok does +7s/d on the average (+4 on wrist, +12 on table).

I understand most mechanical watches keep worse time than single digit seconds per day. For comparison, my quartz Q&Q SmileSolar (it's like swatch, if swatch were good) does +0.2s/d when worn daily, and +0.4s/d on the shelf.

It's probably not that likely to happen but it can happen and if it does you're in a world of hurt.
Better safe than sorry, I guess.

>>15432989
It's just something that's retarded not to have since it's basically a foil lining, it's such an easy feature to implement that why the fuck wouldn't you.

>>15432794
So do you cook a new york strip for like 12 minutes according to this thing? That'd be way overcooked.

>>15432989
tl;dr -- it's a privacy tool. The idea is that bulk scanning of RFID tags can produce data about the movements of individuals. I.e. you've got tags A, B, C in banknotes, D, E, F in cards (for "touchless" payments), and those being scanned at storefront X and then Y means that you were traveling on foot in this direction at that moment.

Many celebrities won't. Gerard Butler took a fucking nosedive in his celebrity status. You sure as hell would have NEVER seen him advertising for festina when he was at the peak of his fame circa 300.

You don't see A+++ list celebrities endorsing low consumer brands unless they have a very good reason to do so (usually a love of the brand or a friend asked them).

>>15433100
Leonardo DiCaprio is still advertising for Tag Heuer which is the weirdest combo that I can think of now. On of the top 3 movie stars that are currently in business and his watch sponsor always has to find some mildly non shitty looking Tag from the past to make it look like he is wearing a Rolex in his movies. That gold GMT Master he's wearing in the Wolf of Wall Street is actually some kind of gold plated Tag Heuer mall shitter from the late 80's iirc.

>>15433147
Zelos uses very exotic materials and offers bold styling. Their watches are not for everyone but if you are into the watches they make, they offer an amazing value.
Halios I don't have any experience with but I assume it's because their watches are just really clean.

Be Afraid, be very afraid: Why smart watches will decimate the Swiss watch industry

>Most watch enthusiasts are aware of the quartz crisis, a dark period of the 70's when quartz watches became commonplace and affordable. The Swiss have never truly recovered, with far fewer brands now than during the 1960's. I foresee that a similar cataclysmic event is on the horizon, at least for most brands (I'll just say, below the market placement of Longines)

>Fast forward to 2014 and a new threat is emerging: smart watches. ..Rolex and Patek will survive, as they did the 70's, but many, if not most brands will fade into obscurity. The counterarguments against smart watches are the usual: smart watches will never replace the richness of "real" watches, mechanical watches retain value while smart watches only depreciate, smart watches are nerdy and won't appeal to the masses, smart watches aren't status symbols like real watches. And a favorite, sales have gone up since fitness bracelets have gone mainstream. These notions are wrong.

>Smart watches will depreciate, like any electronic device. Fine mechanical watches, on the other hand, tend to appreciate slightly. However we must recognize that the majority of the market is not for fine haute mechanical watches but rather watches with either quartz (Swiss or otherwise) or ETA/Seiko mechanical movements. These watches are not much better retainers of value than the average apple product.

----
>I think there's no need to explain what happened since my last post over 2 years ago. I bought an Apple Watch, got it on launch day, and had pretty much a horological meltdown. I sold all my pieces and lived happily with the Apple Watch (series 1) for over a year. I still believe that the Apple Watch is the perfect watch for most people. It's beautifully crafted and terrifyingly useful.

Thoughts on this? Is the white strap too girly? It’s 42mm.

>>15433454
I am a big fan of white straps on watches, or was. The problem is that they get dirty very easily and it shows. That's a silicon strap so you can wipe the dirt away, but it's still annoying and silicon attracts dust. You're better off just putting it on a black aftermarket rubber strap, the contrast will look sick.

>>15432826

>>15433454

Also I know it's rolex but a Railmaster of 1957 Seamaster is a cheaper and far better looking with better magnetic resistance. Also better looking but the weight of the brand name of Rolex is great. If you had the money why not Explorer 1?

White straps are based. I don't know where White = girly. When I was in construction I wore a white T shirt all the time.

>>15433501
Explorer is a boting watch. Milgauss has character with the lightning bolt second hand.

>>15433503
White is masculine as fuck. If your watch is 38mm or over in size you can wear a white strap without causing any confusion to plebs.

>>15433501
Explorer is a boring watch. Milgauss has character with the lightning bolt second hand.

>>15433509
Explorer 1 is a classic that goes with everything though. I know it has a reputation as boring but I think you would be better served with that. That being said the Railmaster and 1957 Speedmaster are both 15000 Gauss resistant and look pretty great.

>>15433540
Yes, it screams big dick energy. As long as you aren't with a white strap on a sub 38mm watch you are fine. As good as gold and White looks together I wouldn't dream of putting anything like a classical dress watch sized gold piece on a white leather strap. Steel sports/white gold/diver and it looks great.
Honestly White and Gold oozes class to me I don't know if it's because Real Madrid used those colours when they were BTFOing everyone or if it's just a great combo.

>>15433540
Although with the Omega I really like the look of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with the Red circle minutes hand. Could be worth a look if it's something you are thinking about? Resale a speedy in white probably wont be as much as a Moonwatch but if you are getting it as a keeper why would you care?
Maybe later on it will become more scarce and valuable?

There's a problem in their line of reasoning: smartwatches rely on software which will inevitably go obsolete, with hardware that will disappear too. The equipment to charge the watches, the batteries inside, everything will be unusable or unserviceable in 15 years.

The traditional lever escapement can be serviced by watchmakers or even by amateurs who take the time to learn about it and get the right equipment. There are loads of parts for the modern watches, and with older ones parts can be either donated from other watches or made by a serious watchmaker from scratch. Smartwatches are like the first generation of iPads and the first generation of tablet imitators; they're all useless now.

>I have a fitbit I was given as a gift, and I use it, but I know in a few years it will end up in the 'junk' drawer along with random quartzes from my childhood that don't work anymore.

Yeah I know what you mean. I reckon that the people who make it would say Fashwave speaks to a part of your soul but I honestly couldn't really confirm that. You may be right but I was thinking the more Bauhaus styled dress watches, that being said Fashwave style seems pretty pragmatic.

>>15433526

>>15433958

I mean I could buy a datejust same period for teice the price, its just guts wise aren’t you paying for nearly the same thing? This is priced closer to old 70s omegas/grand seikos so I figure for that value perhaps a tudor might be fine but I do get the appeal of “go all out don’t look back”

>>15433995

Just a datejust works for me; I found a 34 mm tudor oyster at just over 1000 dollars on chrono24 - with no appent hitches on the function. I just mused in copping that for a grand less than an old airking or datejust, since they look the same. I’m just trying to gauge how much more I’m loosing on value aside from the brand (i.e. movement accuracy, case material, crystal etc..)

>>15433625
$600 aud my friend

So I am thinking on buying the SKX and I only would wear it like 1-2 times a week. So I', looking for the cheapest single watch winding box to have it sitting in. Any recs? this is way too expeze

Honestly, I would rather just cop a Submariner than rotate through those 5 divers.

I don't wanna have to fuck with setting up time & date every time I put on the watch. So I need a really simple cheap single-sitter winding box.

>>15434136
>>15434145
Instead of the Seiko SKX, I just might end up copping the $50 quartz Casio Duro. Classic diver design, clean, no bullshit movements. Think I'm gonna go with the cheap duro.

Wtf is wrong with you?

IT'S A MECHANICAL WATCH THAT STOPS KEEPING TIME & DATE IF YOU DON'T WIND IT, RETARD

I wouldn't mind Seiko SKX bullshit mechanical movement if it didn't have the date window.
But because it has also a date window, it's too much trouble to fuck with it since I'm only wearing a wristwatch a couple times a week.

>>15434172
then get a no-date retard

>>15434174
I am getting a quartz with date, you cretin.

Recommend me a winder for an auto watch. My old man has a NH25 which is unwindable through the stem, so I want to buy him a gift so that he doesnt have to shake it like a madman each morning.

>>15434122
It is the equivalent of a lower and mid grade ETA 2824 or SW200-1. Good in itself, but nothing to write home about, accuracy and durability wise. The dateless and open-hearted version of a 9015, so in theory should make for a thinner watch. A step above the Seiko NH35, what with the higher beat rate and thus smoother sweep.

The Tisell models with that movement go for about 220+ bucks which is reasonable, Im sure you could shave off 50 by buying used, at which point it is fairly great value. I probably wouldnt pay more than 300 for one unless I REALLY love the design.

>>1543403
It really depends on what you want.
If your budget is less than 1k then you have no choice but to go with the Tudor
, as it will be very hard/unlikely to find a DJ in that price range.
What model of Datejust depends on what the differences are.
The dj will be bigger at 36mm(doesn’t sound like a lot but the 19mm bracelets taper down way too small on the 34mm to me personally-looks almost like a women’s bracelet), Will be more accurate, White gold bezel(if you go fluted), quickset date(depending on model), hi beat movement(depending on model), and you won’t hear the rotor(I don’t care about rotor noise but it does upset some people), and some dial options.
If none of that matters to you go with the Tudor. But you should shop around on eBay, as well as chrono24, because I’ve seen lots of Tudor’s sell for less than 1k.

so why don’t you have a masonic watch, /wt/?

>>15434145
Those things supposedly put wear and tear on the movements. If you have shitters that you don't care much about buying new ones every x years or repairing the movements, it's fine, but I would never put an expensive watch on there.

You can find them on amazon or aliexpress.

>>15434347
Silly goose, the temperature must be a constant for everything mentioned, it's probably listed in the manual.

>>15433116
Tag still is. Outside of forums Tag is pretty well thought of and its a definite status symbol.

Most people know the brand and know its pricey. They advertise really well.

>>15434356
So you need a manual to use a feature on watch?

Which ones should I go for? I'm not a watch enthusiast but they look nice and I want to step up my game from a 8 USD plastic Casio. Will wear it casually and with a suit at work (law firm in Thailand so it's not that conservative).
>Really like the Citizen but it is quite expensive (165 USD + 60 USD to ship over here for some reason)
>I love the Casio but that 46mm case seems way too big as I don't have a bulky wrist and want something light and not too noticeable.
>The Seiko looks okay, I prefer the Citizen. They are the same price so if the quality is the same I'd rather go with the Citizen, but Seiko seems to be a better brand. Is it?
>The green Timex is pretty nice and a fourth of the price of the Citizen and Seiko. Shipping is also five times cheaper for some reason. However I like the idea of solar batteries, and it seems that Timex watches are not durable (internet reviews). Are they that bad?
>The black Timex looks good, but I prefer the other ones. However it's almost the same price as the other Timex and solar. I'm thinking about buying that one and changing the strap (very cheap here).

>>15434400
>The industry standard depth limit for recreational divers is 130 feet (39 m) at sea level. During the basic scuba certification, students experience depths of 30-60 feet (9-18 m), and a “deep” dive is considered more than 60 feet (18 m).

10 atm/bar is equal to 90 meters/295 feet.
Recreational dive limit is set to 40meters. And i think, below 55m you need special gas mixes and a certification and further training.

Not defending the obviously low quality shitter brand, that skimps out at some fucking gasket and screw down crown. Just wanted to give you a perspective about how overengineered most diving watches are. These depths will never be reached by normies. Most dive watches are also just decoration. They just get bought because they look pretty.

>>15433549
>big dick energy
>need a big watch to look masculine

>>15434398
does it have to be quartz?
the citizen is the most solid pick here. ya 46 is too big and no dont get a timex. Especially 3 handed ones like those. Their ticking is very loud, some people even have to keep them in a drawer at night. Not sure what that the case of casio is made from, but those timexs are made of plated brass and if you sweat a lot the back will start to corrode/wear away

>but Seiko seems to be a better brand. Is it?
no not really, they just focus on different things. Both companies have both quartz and mechanical but citizen is more known for their ecodrive and the bulk of seiko offerings are mechanicals.


maybe you can also consider a mechanical like this. This is the seiko snk803/805/807/809 (old seiko5 shield). They come in steel with a glass exhibition caseback so you can look at the internals, its pretty neat. Im in singapore and can get these for ~90 usd locally, they are made in malaysia so you can probably still find them cheap locally as well. Non hacking, non winding, but the 7s26 movement inside is a timetested no frills dependable one. (They are being phased out atm, the new seiko5s are much too expensive.)

>>15434511
Absolute. Technology just got better, machining more precise, better rubber material and production. That's why it was possible to produce cases with tighter tolerances. And the rest was done by good gaskets.
But bad brands make it look like it's something special.

Also, the rating is misleading. Most watches don't get pressure tested individually and the depth rating is often an assumption. To be safe they just make them extra safe. It's just cheaper to use good gaskets instead of pressure testing each case.

>>15434477
you mean people dont actually dive down to 3000 meters? dafuq

>>15434530
Obviously watches with retardedly insane depth tolerances are stupid, it doesn't make them less cool though.

>>15434523
The Vostok Amphibia has a tolerance of 200 meters but in actuality it can be as high as 900 meters due to the nature of the technology used on the glass (high water pressure pushes and flexes the slightly loose glass tighter on the case, so the deeper you go, the bigger the tolerance), or the caseback becoming glued to the rubber ring.

30m wr is basically rain proof.
50m barely for shower or bath.
100m for snorkeling.

>>15433615
It's a great watch as long as you're not trying to actually deep dive with it. /fa/ is full of autists.

>>15434542
Where the fuck do you live where you get 30m of rain?

>>15434477
Those meters don't mean the actual depth you can go under. You'll need at least 100m to just get in actual water.

>>15434584
>you need 300ft of water resistance to get in the shower
This is ridiculous and objectively false. People use electric shavers and shit in the shower all the time and those aren't rated to 10 fucking bar.

>>15434596
Shower is rated as 100m tho.

>>15433403
>>15433726
are you that guy who has been looking at baltics for ~3 months now?

i think it looks very nice and you'll be hard pressed to find another that looks quite like that. But you can look at the AE diver brands like san martin or look through seiko stuff. the difference is like ~$200.

Depth resistance is a marketing figure. Generally it translates out to 5m = splashes (such as when washing hands over a sink), 20m = proof against rain (even heavy rain), 100m = proof against trivial immersion (swimming pools etc.), and 200m = actual diving up to 20 meters or something like that.

Severe inflation there over the years, as you can tell. I like the #-of-bars figure better, which is effectively meters divided by ten.

>>15434596

What proof do you have for this statement, anecdotal or otherwise, or are you just regurgitating things you heard online?

>>15434610
I'm not a watchmaker and have not benchtop tested numerous watches to failure, if that's what you mean. My point is that in this case "m" is the SI unit for "merde".

>>15434533
That's true. I read this post about it and some vids. It's very clever but super simple. Not overengineered crap. I read that if some swiss brand would have come up with this design, they would have marketed it like crazy.

I have one of the Timex Expeditions. I purchase one whenever I go to Africa for work and they hold up quite well. My first trip there I just got some beater adidas watch. And while I liked the look, it literally died on me and stopped working.

The Timex watches have been able to take a beating of the harsh sun and dust storms and water and sweat and seems to hold up quite well. So I recommend those if you really need something to take abuse.
