Is IWC a good brand?

>>15438911
I love my marathon field. Those tritium tube really glow bright

>>15438925
A bit understated but they're high quality

>>15438927
I like their look but they're thick and their price point seems higher than it should be

>>15438925
Kind of.
The problem with IWC is that they are extremely overpriced for the basic bitch watches that they offer and you would think that with the small amount of them they make available per year and the prices they charge that they would go the full autistic Grand Seiko treatment on each one... but they don't. They are disappointing.

>>15438941
It ain't that thick, but that's just my opinion. Agree wholeheartedly on the pricing. Got mine for 125$ on their amazone website 3 years ago.
It doesn't have a sapphire like the new ones, but I'm not sure that warrants the price difference.

>>15438911
I'm normie scum, got this in the mail with a sailcloth band for runs and general innawoods stuff.

why does boctok, a company famous for their dive watches, not lume the bezel pip? there are even boctoks with a white circle for a 12 o'clock bezel pip so you think it's lume but it's just regular white paint that doesn't glow. what the fuck mate

>>15438927
what's it called when the nato has those ridges woven into it?

>>15438993

russian diver fear no death

First soviet shitter. It shipped from Moscow so now I want you all to shit on it. There's a bit of discoloration on the 57-04 minute markers but other than that it seems clean. Strap is dog shit and way too small so I'll have to replace that before I can even wear it.

I'll never understand why people like NATO bracelets.

>>15438996
Texture

>>15438979

Looks nice

>>15439030
It depends on the watch. I hate them when leddit puts them on a speedy or similar but on a field watch or something not built to be on a bracelet they look fine and feel decent.

>>15439026
Looks like a franken watch like my raketa polarbear.

Convince me not to pull the trigger on a Sinn 903.

>>15439041
What are the tells? I assumed it would be because it was ebay listed as NOS. Are there really any glaring signs or just more than likely because they aren't made anymore?

>>15438996
Not a clue what you're talking about, but that's not a Nato strap anyway. It's Marathon's proprietary design-ish

>>15439050
The band and you have the exact same case as I do.

>>15439040
But speedies make sense on a nato, wtf are you on about?

>>15439042
I literally can't, unless you're an ultra autist about in house movement and a slave to brand recognition.

>>15439055
I think they look terrible on them as compared to a bracelet. Maybe a more plain strap would be okay but this looks like shit and nobody can deny it.

How jelly are you of me right now, poorfags?

>>15439119
pretty jelly, looks like a nice dog.

Is that the bb 36?, on the next year im gonna do a big purchase and that watch is amongst the contenders.

so i found this Bulova for real cheap (about 80 usd) i cant find much info about it on internet, why?
can you guys help me out, it sells for 80-100 why is a bulova that cheap?

so i found this Bulova for real cheap (about 80 usd) i cant find much info about it on internet, why?

the model is 96B266

>>15439073
Ok yes that's shit. I was thinking more of a black nato or a NASA strap.

>>15438925
They're pretty overpriced and are one of the heaviest marketers, I see their ads everywhere.

>>15439147
>why is it that chrap
because it's fucking boring and ugly.

>>15439147
Bulova is sadly not what they used to be and that's a discontinued lower-end quartz model that could be had for a hundred bucks with a 3 years guarantee while it was sold officially, the one you're looking at is probably a new old stock one that might lack the box/papers/guarantee, so that's why it's cheap:
https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/2753695/bulova-mens-quartz-analog-bracelet-watch-40-mm?color=NO COLOR
The anons here can probably recommend you a more solid watch in the same price category if you ask them.

>>15439256
thanks, i just bought it, i don't expect a high end watch, i like the design and the fact that its a bulova for such low price, so yeah

>>15439310
enjoy and be happy with it

I knew you guys were gay, but I didn't expect you to be all faggots.

>>15438925
they have some really cool high-end movements
I was blown away when I found out their cheap series are ETA movements though. they're charging absurd amounts of money. I'd say pretty similar to Cartier in this aspect where their high end watches are really impressive and the low-end ones are just blatant cash grabs.

>>15439468
Why don't their higher end watches have a seconds hand?

>>15439481
it's on the tourbillon

Congrats anon.
Receive any compliments yet?

>>15439632
>inferior mechanical tech
>more cost efficient
I'll never understand you guys. Obviously if you pay half as much, you get half the accuracy. Or rather, 1/100th the accuracy.

>>15439662
with quartz its hard to mentally justify the cost

with mechanical you know its a complex system of hundred of tiny gears, sprockets, springs whirling away and its far more satisfying. "Wow! no batteries!"

if you -really- want to time something a $10 f91w will do

>>15439668
But you can get a 50 dollar chink NH35 that rapes every swiss movement in the sub thousand dollar range. Why is a 10 dollar quartz "hard to justify" while a 30 dollar mechanical movement is perfectly fine to put in a 700 dollar watch?

>>15439672
>nh35

thats not a chronograph movement
the watch here >>15439618
is chronograph and inhouse

>>15439678
Chronograph and mechanical shouldn't even be on the same planet together, so that's not really an issue.

Analog chronographs are a pure larp anyway, they've been outdated for 50 years and nobody uses them for anything even vaguely serious. It's a spinny hand you can mess around with to curb your autism, not a real tool.

>>15439672
also, i didnt say $10 is hard to justify specifically
but $500 for this>>15439563
is 'hmmmmmm' when you remember casio edifice has quartz chronographs at $100

>>15439682
But they don't have one with that awful styling for 100 bucks.

What's weird is that you're fine with spending 250 bucks on something because it's a mystical magical mechanical, but spending 500 bucks on something with better performance is bad because it's stinky evil quartz. And why is quartz stinky and evil? Because some kike told you that only mechanical watches are acceptable for some bizarre reason.

>>15439686
Because quartz has its own drawbacks and doesn't justify the $500 price. If it were mechanical I'd consider it, but quartz is simply a cheaper component in comparison to something mechanical.

>>15439687
So I assume you own a water clock instead of a gross quartz wall clock or a cheap mechanical grandfather clock? After all, a 30 foot tall water clock is going to be more expensive to produce and thus better, according to you.

>>15439688
Now you are just being silly. I'm merely saying that paying for a $500 quartz watch is not worth the money compared to a mechanical

>>15439681
>It's a spinny hand you can mess around with to curb your autism,

well yes, where else would we be if we cant be autistic here over watches, its the perfect outlet
theres a real satisifaction when i wind my vintage russian shitter and it didnt even cost me $40
cant say that for a quartz/digital

>>15439691
But why? Let's just assume both these watches are the same price. So we subtract both the prices of the movements, 30 dollars for the mechanical, and a dollar for the quartz. You're left with a 499 dollar watch with 100 times the accuracy, and a 470 dollar watch with mediocre accuracy. Why is the latter a more attractive proposition to you?

>>15439692
>I like the way it makes me feel!
Is there an emptier argument?

>>15439691
>Now you are just being silly. I'm merely saying that paying for a $500 quartz watch is not worth the money compared to a mechanical
but why? there are quartz watches that are finished and tested to high standards. 99% of the cost of mechanical shit is the testing and finishing, why can't it be the same for quartz?
because some swiss jews told you so?

>>15439699
>I cant buy things to make me feel good

it is a legit argument.
and unless you own nothing but a single f91w or a single gshock you are a hyprocrite
you dont need anything else, everything else would be just for "making you feel good"

>>15439704
I own multiple watches to fulfill different roles, though. You can't wear a G-shock with a suit.

Sure, in an ideal world, my perfect watch would exist, and one watch would cover all my needs.

>>15439718
there are some watches that can fulfill a range of roles, like this
can be worn in the boardroom or on a boat
has a chronograph so you can time things
has character so it isnt boring

>>15439699
>>15439700
Because quartz has drawbacks compared to mechanical like battery duration, non-smooth movement of the seconds hand, as well as the fact that you know you can get a $10 Casio that is just as accurate, for the same reason you say a mechanical is not worth the money in comparison. That all is purely subjective obviously, but the fact remains that I prefer buying mechanical even when it's much more expensive than quartz.

>>15439725
and of course the meme perennial favourite, the alpinist sarb017

the field watch cum dress watch that you can even swim in as it has screwdown and 200WR

>>15439726
>>Because quartz has drawbacks compared to mechanical like battery duration,
The majority of batteries these days last a decade. And then it takes you 5 minutes to swap out the battery. What's the recommended service cycle for your mechanical, buddy? And how long does it take the kike at your watch shop to service it for you?
>non-smooth movement of the seconds hand,
6 beats per second isn't smooth, dude. There are no mechanical smooth second hand movements, and a "dead seconds" movement was considered on par with tourbillons before it got memory holed away when quartz came out and managed it for free.

>>15439729
>There are no mechanical smooth second hand movements
>what is spring drive
>inb4 its not mechanical
it uses mechanical to power the quartz crystal and to achieve the smooth sweeping

>>15439730
>>it uses mechanical to power the quartz crystal
So are Autoquartz and Kinetic "mechanical" now?

>>15439729
i mean it's smoother than one beat per second
bulova accutrons is as smooth as we're gonna get , but that watch blurs the line between electrical and mechanical watch.

spring drive is fully smooth though.

>>15439737
Spring drive is driven by a mainspring, not a motor, the electricals just regulate the movement and provide braking

>>15439738
>but that watch blurs the line between electrical and mechanical watch.
No it doesn't. That's like saying a quartz watch with an analog movement "blurs the line".

>>15439740
The electronics regulate the movement, ergo it's not mechanical. It's pretty simple, but Seiko have to make a big song and dance about this shit because quartz is a dirty word in the world of brainlets who can't think for themselves and require advertising to tell them what to buy.

>>15439743
It's a quartz regulated mechanical movement. It's not quartz, it's not mechanical, it's a hybrid.

>>15439030
Cheap
Comfy
Versatile
Practical
Can be cleaned
Available in every color under the sun

>>15439073
Yeah, that’s a shitty example (though the right person and the right outfit could salvage it, probably) but a black nato would be fine. My Russian moonwatch looks best on a black nato.

>>15439468
Cartier is more a fashion brand though and sell a lot of watches to women who don't care about the movement. It may be a bit hypocritical to say it's ok for one brand to do it and not for the other. But
It doesn't really damage Cartier as a brand to offer quartz watches. IWC on the other hand is solely a high end watchmaker selling ETA based watches for 5-6k, maybe more?, whereas Cartier sell in-house movements at the same price, a movement Vacheron Constantin uses for base in the fiftysix's.

vintage gang rise up

>>15438927
man i love the look of that but it would be $360 (mechanical nh35) + $14 for that strap, it seems like they only come with normal nylon natoes and that is an extra add on
at $360 its hamilton khaki territory already

>Mechanical boomer btfo

>>15439681
I don't give a hoot how outdated you think this is.

>>15439782
All I can think about is how grimy that dumb caseback would look if anyone actually wore that watch. Is there anything sadder than people who think watches should be for photography rather than actual usage? Your picture exemplifies the problems with mechanical garbage, it's all about selling meaningless buzzwords with no consideration given to function.

hello alarm bro

my own russian shitter came

scored this 1980s 34mm vostok cadet/vostok junior with a near immaculate dial (usually they are pretty messed up/cracked) for like $35. Glass has some very light scratches but its not a bother/can just polywatch it away later

very happy with it and perfect for my small wrist

vostok never gave these any water resist rating but they have the gasket, screwdown, and ring system of normal vostoks. Not going to test it in water though, since its so old.

>>15439770
wonderful hands, nice dimensions. good work

>>15439799

Love me some simplicity.

yes these were made as an outdoors 'sports watch' for youth, and no it doesnt bother me

i had originally wanted the baby blue one but the dial on this was too good to pass up

>>15439790
>grimy caseback
how fucking dirty is your wrist that you would leave grime on a sapphire crystal?

>>15439672
NH35 isn't chrono to my knowledge but is a friggin' fantastic movement for the cost of entry. I have 3 watches that utilize it and they are all +/- 5 seconds a day or so.

It's real and they actually used to be more expensive. They launched at 180. Also there is a slight difference, aside from the branding the hardware is more rounded than on other NATOs. That's it.

Not everyone from Asia or Eastern Europe is a crook though. Calculate what returns and postage would cost you if you buy it then take it to a Seiko specialist who deems it a franken. At that price it might worth the risk.

I've been tracking my Seiko 5 for the last week and I've noticed that every day it's different. It started with gaining several seconds in the first day and then it started fluctuating every day but always on the +-10 seconds. Right now it's 4 seconds ahead of what it was a week ago. I thought it was just going to gain/lose a specific amount of seconds every day.

I agree but there is something about farer watches where they lean way harder into the "fun" thing than other brands

>>15440215
Long lugs are a characteristic of the mostly Pforzheim-made cases of German civilian watches from the 1930's to the 1950's. You might not like it, but it's a hallmark of traditional German watch case design.

Aren't active medical personnel discouraged from wearing watches since they are a bacteria magnet? You might as well get one with a resin/silicon band in order to make cleaning it easier in case you actually need to touch something.

>>15440577

"it's not quartz"

I'm not claiming it is or isn't mechanical, which as far as I'm concerned has no particularly useful definition. I want to understand the assertion "it's not quartz".

>>15440617

at least its a gift and you didnt pay your money for it

>f91w
literally get anything else. 748738843 other casios and all people get is the f91w

>>15440631
yeah there's a reason for that. the 748738843 other casios are all varying degrees of uglier

>>15440617
Some look really nice. Horologically they're pretty bare bones and overpriced.

>>15440599
Although I doubt there is a 7750 inside, more like a Lemania LWO 283, considering it's pretty thin for a chrono

>>15440638
thats not true, people are just lazy to look and default to f91w

for example this variant of the worldtime thats not picked, like ever. But i could see it working really nice on a strap or leather.

A1000M-1BVT (black on milanese)

they both come with corresponding mother of pearl, in the render its saturated but from what i read IRL, its subtle.

theres 3 more but they are rose gold (basically all the A1000 ones)

Actually mechanical chronographs make more sense than pure mechanical timekeepers.

If you "keep time" for a whole month with a simple three-handed mechanical watch, you'll be off by minutes.

If you "time" a particular event with a mechanical chronograph for a few seconds or minutes, the result will be indistinguishable from the most accurate quartz chronograph in existence.

>>15440999
>>If you "time" a particular event with a mechanical chronograph for a few seconds or minutes, the result will be indistinguishable from the most accurate quartz chronograph in existence.
Not really, because of both the inherent latency in activation, and the basic fact that even a cheap stop watch can manage hundredths of a second.

It's less important for a timekeeper to be within a second than it is for a chronograph to be within a second. If you're just looking for a rough estimate of how long you've been running, then you're really just using the feature as a larping tool.

I've always loved the Navitimer so something in that kind of style would be nice. Not incredibly fussed on movement, although a few people have told me that quartz is dogshit. I'm sort of still learning myself.

>>15441326
Quartz is generally reliable if it's a decent movement and tends to be comparatively inexpensive to the same accuracy grade automatic. It's not nearly as cool though.

cheap dollar bin quartz is dogshit because they get used most in shoddily made overpriced fashion junk, and also a lot of trash brands will just buy the cheapest swiss quartz and slap it onto a $800 watch so they can have that SWISS MOVEMENT on the marketing

but there is good quartz stuff on both ends, both affordable budget beaters or extremely precise high end offerings, mostly from the japanese side.

My Seiko (King) Quartz is almost 45 years old and working perfectly. Some people are full of shit.

Automatic is fine for really expensive pieces, heirlooms or if you are a nerd, but cheap ones are either disposable, or you quickly end up spending more than the watch with maintenance costs.

I own a Navihawk just like the one in that pic and a current-gen Skyhawk. I'd definitely get the Skyhawk, it's a lot easier to read, doesn't seem as massive on the wrist, has a sapphire crystal, and is available with a pretty decent bracelet if you're into that kind of thing. (I think it wears a lot better on one, kinda balances out the bulk and weight of the watch.)

I know Tudor is kind of a meme around here, but I've been looking at options for an "affordable" GMT and the BB GMT seems like by far the best option under 5k. Thoughts?

dont have strong GMT feelings towards anything, but i think at 5k you can start to browse GS also, for example this for $4500. Their quartz ones are ~3k, even. Theres the Nomos Zürich Weltzeit also.

>>15441684
The Nomos is a definite no, I need the GMT function for aviation rather than travel or international business so the style of its second time zone doesn't work, plus it just doesn't fit my style. The Grand Seikos are really nice but the models that appeal to me are way outside my price range, and I'm not sure if the movement has the BB's best feature, the ability to jump the local hour hand without affecting the GMT hand, which afaik is something you only get on the BB and Rolex GMTs.

I really like this GS but it's well outside my price range, almost twice what the Tudor costs in the real world, and I'm not sure I'm a fan of the fact that it's titanium.

You do realize the former (activation latency) completely cancels out the latter (hundreths of a second)?
That was my point.

>It's less important for a timekeeper to be within a second than it is for a chronograph to be within a second.
If you time something for a few seconds or minutes, the difference in timekeeping is completely cancelled out by the difference in human reaction time.
