Thoughts about Oris?

I like how they are an independent Swiss manufacturer and not part of a big watch group, and their prices are reasonable. I'm thinking about picking up one of their dive watches

What is the point of cheap automatics? I recently just replaced my broken 3.5 year old Seiko 5 with a Casio A158A, and after a week with my new $14 watch, IDK why you would ever buy a cheap automatic, the cost of having the watch serviced is more than the watch itself. And at least an expensive automtic has the allure of being handmade, and some notion of reliability, Seiko 5's are just shit out in mass quantity like quartz watches, but are way more prone to failure and cost more to have fixed.

If you're thinking about buying a Seiko 5, dont. Just buy a Citizen Eco-Drive, it's way more reliable and basically never needs servicing, or save up for an automatic that is worth a shit.

there are some shitposts in the HH world

this $180,000 Haldimann H8 has no hour or minute hands, only a tourbillion in the centre, forcing you to "be in time" or "appreciate time". You *cannot* tell the time, only observe the tourbillion spinning around.

>Its charming dance can be admired not just head-on, but at any angle up to 90 degrees. As a result, the observer is rewarded with a much more thorough tourbillon experience that is difficult to describe in precise words.

>>15457043
I was in that same position when I bought my Seiko 5, but I wish I knew what I do know and had bought a Citizen or something. For $55 i got a few years out of it, but a little disappointing considering how much I liked it when I first got it,

>>15457047
>>15456931

the Haldimann H9 ($200,000) takes it 1 step futher. It is a fully working watch with hand engravings, hour and minute hand, and a "triple barrel flying tourbillion"--- but hides it under an opaque black sapphire crystal. Now there *is* time, but you cannot see it, only hear it.

>How much watch do we need in order to be able to describe something as a watch?
>Now, what happens when this information is missing, when the time continues to be measured, but not displayed? Can we still call this a watch? And if not, then what?

This is better but really you shouldn't buy either of them. Get a Speedmaster or a Sinn instead.

>>15457040
The Seiko 5 is a great entry to auto watches for non-watch people, kids, etc. I have one going on over a decade of rough use without service. Not extremely accurate but +15 secs/day can get the job done for an occasional use beater. For me it's the "I want to do some hard labor or otherwise abusive activity but I don't want to wear the g-shock" watch.

>>15457063
The description should be:

>servicing a seiko5
unless it has great sentimental value, its not worth the cost. Also, you can just buy a nh36 movement and replace it yourself for ~$35, upgrading it to have hacking and handwinding in the process. If you kept the watch you can do this.

Don't be such a sucker for "heritage" and "history". It's all marketing BS. Just get a watch that looks good and fulfills your requirements. If you really want a watch with a story, go vintage.

>>15457131

You really need to go over 30k to get a decent in-house movement.

HEY GUYS

I did good at my company this year and they are going to buy me a watch as a present. It can be about $750-1000

I like basic watches. I want something nice i can wear anywhere and that will be classy or hold it's value. I like the rolex explorer but that's obviously too expensive

suggestions? can be new or used

>>15456933
that thing is ugly and looks like it should never get out of the upper middle segment warehouse it is located in

however, this one I like

>>15457265
maybe a stowa marine or stowa antea

obv get the small sizes
https://www.stowa.de/en/Marine+36+classic+handwound.htm

>>15457265
If it weren't my money, I'd get a Seiko 7016 (I'm hesitant to buy vintage stuff)

>>15457265
When you die while wearing this watch, what do you want to be doing at the time?

>>15457265
get a casio and spend the remainder on whores and booze

>>15457265

why? just do your homework

vintage is awesome and even if you are a brokefag theres plenty of kino stuff with actual history thats extremely affordable

Which watch companies have writing on the dial that isn't in english. I love the Russian on my vostok, I want more watvhes that aren't in english. And please don't recommend seikos with 2 language daydate, I already have one that's english Italian.

>>15457285
>>15457291
Those are nice.

are there any new diver type watches that are good in that range like a seiko sumo?

>>15457311

>>15457333
The only thing you can get as a nice diver at that range is more seikos, and they sure aren't classy

>>15457335
>snobs like you really need to die in a fire
Retard it's not snobbery it's reality. It's like wanting to buy a nice classy car for $5000. The market is what it is, you're not going to find some shortcut that no one knows about.

>>15457265
Get a vintage russian OKEAH (ocean) poljot chrono. It's only going to go up in value. These used to be just $500 for a good one.
>>15457311

>>15457374
what's the crown on the left for?

>>15457265
It's not easy to find a watch with an original design and a decent movement from a historic company that won't depreciate real fast in that price segment. I'm always shilling Glycine's The Chief because it's a tasteful reedition of a classic pilot watch with actual history, a sturdy swiss movement, a 40mm diameter that will suit most wrists just fine and a 12mm height that will fit comfortably under a shirt cuff, all for $500:
https://www.jomashop.com/glycine-airman-vintage-the-chief-gmt-automatic-black-dial-mens-watch-gl0246.html
Consider it if you like the look and tell your company to spend the rest on a bottle of fine whiskey, a box of cuban cigars, a Russian escort or whatever your poison may be.

>>15457360
>>t. cooomsumer with low self esteem
>imagine getting your self worth through material goods
Moron you're projecting, tell me what nice classy watches or cars there are for such prices. And I mean nice and classy as defined by the majority of the society we live in, not your own personal definition.

>>15457333
Take a look at Sakura watches, there’s tons of cool JDM Seikos in your price range I’m sure you can find one you like.

>>15457327
what about an HMT Yanata?

>>15457327
classic Raketa also has some dials with nothing but cyrillic, everything that was intended for the domestic USSR market basically. Be warned though, they are a main target for franken makers so do your homework before getting into that
HMT has a bunch of watches with eastern arabic numerals, urdu numerals, hindi numerals and their text in plenty of languages since there are so many in India
Adi makes some really basic quartz watches with the hebrew "numeral" system
Celadon goes all-out with traditional chinese everywhere but they get a bit pricy
Tiskola doesn't have any dials with georgian script on it, sadly
AWI and Nikolai are armenian watch makers that make quartzes, some of which have armenian text and/or numerals. Nikolai also has some mechanicals
>>15457367
If you just want different languages but latin script then a LOT of swiss brands write in french. As for strictly french brands, Lip and Yema both have some dials entirely in french.

>>15457389
the majority of people cannot afford a 5000 dollar watch

>>15457389
>And I mean nice and classy as defined by the majority of the society we live in
so you buy things to impress others? literally small penis. Are you buying watches to impress some golddigging whore?

>NO YOU NEED TO BUY A ROLEX BECAUSE SOCIETY SAYS SO

theres plenty of nice watches under $1000. The sarx or sarb lines, and if you dont want to go weeb there are plenty of EU brands as well. Pic related is a very timeless looking 3 hander with a subtle textured dial for some character. No watch person will "look down" on such a thing unless they are snobs, and if they are they arent worth your time anyway.

>>15457381

>>15457406
Ok then by that logic wearing a frozen turd taped to your wrist is "nice" by my definition, so I'm the king of the world now, you blithering idiot.

>>15457414

>>15457389
You're saying this as if bling-era hip hop hadn't made the recognizable luxury watch brand gaudy, loud and distasteful in the eye of the general public.

Thanks for all the info, will look into it. I already have 2 Russian watches so that's done for me, am gonna look into the Armenian watches.

>>15457414
You wish you could wear a frozen turd strapped to your wrist. Let's be honest, a glass encased shit being used as the case for a watch would cost over 100k for the watch.

>>15457482
John Wick wore a Carl F. Bucherer.

>>15457333
you could look at seiko/citizen..or even a microbrand like zelos which honestly gives a lot more value

for example their thresher GMT while not being a diver per se comes with an ETA 2893 movement and has 500WR, more than most divers out there. The brand itself has gained a lot of clout recently--they even had a $12,000 tourbillion release in collab with La Joux-Perret this year.

>>15457100
Get the hked bund. It's almost good except the decided to take the hked logo off of the latest batch and now the dial is a bit unbalanced. Still it's got the look and a seagull movement for less that $500.

>>15457637
Do they have some customization options or something? The hole in the dial looks ridiculous.

The rest looks really good, though I'd be happier with a more Speedy-styled case and pushers/crown like the new TAG has, a little bit beefier. That's in general my only complaint about this watch style, the lugs and the pushers always look a bit too dainty.

>>15457637
>>15457646
Also I like how a random Chink company has the nice concentric subdial grooves that neither Sinn nor TAG have.

Just tell them you want the rolex explorer and see what they say. Fucking sell them on it, anon. And if they are REALLY hard on not dropping 7k for the watch, offer to pay the rest after what they contribute.

>>15457833
But anon, rolex explorers are the most boring rolex your can get.

i cant decide whether a case like this is ugly or beautiful. it has no spring bars, the bars are par of the case and attached to the lugs.

please give your honest input.

>>15457959

Who are you people that keep underestimating the price of Rolex watches at auction?

>>15457976
for insurance yes
but unless im on the verge of starving or losing the family house/business i will not do it--money can be earned but such things are priceless

every scratch, ding, damage on the watch are physical memories of a loved one, traces of their time here

whenever i see vintage watches on ebay with personal inscriptions on the back it makes me sad, here it lies, a person's procession, for sale on ebay for $74.99. Did it not matter to his kin or whoever else? what happened?

>>15457982
The chrono and standard explorer aren't that special, they are just early examples, and can be bought on chrono24. Only the tropical is truly action rarity but even then it's just an explorer in very worn condition and not even worth twice the price of the other one.

>>15457991
Some people these days simply don't like old watches or watches at all and would rather take the money. At least that guy plans to keep at least one of those Rolex's.

some of these are estate sales to pay off mortgage debts, or the relatives of the person might not have a say because of the will of the deceased.
It happened to me, my father passed away when I was 18 and I remembered that he had a few decent watches (Omega, Tag Heuer, etc.) and lots of nice leathergoods.
In his will, he left all of his belongings to his brothers, them vultures took them all and probably pawn them off right after. Haven't talked to any of them in 7 years.

daily reminder that this is the perfect versatile watch

>>15458271

>A watch with a bezel that takes up 40% of the watch-face real estate is a versatile watch

I honestly don't get the appeal of dive watches. Specifically those with bezels. Why do you like having a huge chunk of your surface area taken up by a bezel that you never use? Would it not be better to have this actually be watch face? That way you can add another complication in there, or have room to spread the numbers out and create a nice symmetrical and /effay/ face instead of a cramped one? Or you can just have a smaller watch face instead of an intrusive bulky one?

Ultimately, I don't see the appeal of bezels. They seem gaudy, tacky, and unnecessary. I don't get why you would want your watch to have so much of it taken up by something so useless.

Good morning.

>>15458271
Pretty much. There's a reason why it's the most popular watch in the world, it just does everything right.

>>15457131
you can probably get a used lange saxonia for 9k

>>15458286
I respect your opinion, but it's just a matter of taste, really. Like this anon >>15458294 says, I think this watch just does everything right; the bezel included. Also, it's satisfying af to play around with.

>>15458271

This is the only watch you'll need. Rolex's are nice to have but generally speaking you should be wearing pic related 90% of your life. This watch is the best watch ever made

>>15458442
The lugs are short and curved so the 39 will not be as big as you think. That's why dial size is not always a good indicator and you should always try on the watch first.

30m WR doesn't equal 30 meters of diving depth. It means bar pressure resistance from weight of water.

30m WR equals splashing, 50m equals putting it under a faucet, 100m equals swimming, 200m equals diving up to a depth of like 6 meters. It also doesn't mean that a watch with 50m WR will get demolished immediately when used for diving, it may likely survive for a bit.

>>15458493
Casio has many great memes, the Gshock is not a good one if you want it for the looks, they look comically childish. I'd personally only go for the World time (Casio Royale) if I wanted a digital shitter. It's also a fraction of the price.

Just paid off 15k of debt in one go. Can’t wait to take those payments and start saving for something that isn’t a Seiko shitter.
I’m thinking a Rolex explorer ii with the polar dial, should work well on my 7 inch wrist. Or maybe a chronograph.
Thanks for reading my lifepost, I’m just very happy that I’m fresh out of debt in this motherfucker.

>>15458547
You can't. As long as you don't ruin yourself financially, it's fine though. You won't spend that money doing other menial and trivial things.

>>15458559
How does one accrue 15k in debt? American?

Too bad it doesn't happen for tool watches like Rolex, Sinn, and Damasko

>>15458604
why would you buy a used sinn or damasko instead of just buying a new one? i cant see the resale value being hot for such borin---, oops, utilitarian watches.

>>15458608
sinn watches are beautiful in a utilitarian way
damaskos are more of a niche taste because they eschew design entirely and just look like straight up tool displays or something

>>15458590
>make $120k but owe $20k in student loans
>1971 seiko superior (about $750)

>>15458608
I used to think like that, but German watches are really something different compared to Seikos, chinkshit or mountain Jews. They have that dumb "simple but elegant" look that actually works.

>>15458608
Since Sinn and Damasko don't scratch easy, I thought getting used might have been a smart idea because watch brands like seiko and omega depreciate, but german tool watches go for roughly the same price, which ticks me off. If you're going to get a "field watch" it might as well either be one of those or a casio, right?

>>15458487
This shit is a meme. People swim and even free dive short distances with a 30WR watch and have no problems with it. Just don't push any buttons while it's submerged.

>>15458527
You can presumably damage it if you change the time when the watch is changing the date (varies, but usually between 9 in the evening and 3 in the morning).

>>15458623
That's an interesting watch, I just saw they came out. Also the north american AD (watchbuys) is claiming a price increase at the end of the month on the whole lineup on Sinn.

The U50 have great dimensions and weight considering the 500m WR and the U-Boat stahl. But it does not have any other Sinn tech like low temperature oils or Ar dehumidifier. In a way this would make the watch easier to work on (no need to send it back to germany because of the gas filling) since it's an ordinary 300 series Selita mvt. I'm passing on it for the Pelagos LHD because it's not as Sinn as a Sinn can be anyway.I also can't try it on in any store...

It's mind boggling to me that Rolex/Tudor and Omega are still using those ostentatious helium escape valves on watches when they could modernize the construction and just use better seals and gas filling. I mean Rolex service is expensive as it is, they might as well go full-on in Tech.

>>15458623
>when the dials are so flat you have no idea if its a photo or just a render
where along the "watch hobby" will I appreciate these?

>>15457929
It depend on the side profile. Also I thing that the minute hand should be bigger/easier to see than the hours hand in a watch like this.

amen, brother.
although a bezel is useful for timing things and the mechanism is elegant in it's simplicity, they're ugly af and not really needed. you can just say "in 25 minutes it will be 3:47" and just time it that way. your oxygen supply is not going to run out if you mis-time how long is left on your parking meter. it's just bulky bullshit tacked on to your dial that boomers first saw in Dr. No and decided to larp so hard the overton window on acceptable taste shifted.

so how come my cheap ass 30m timex still works flawlessly after hundreds of showers, hundreds of submersions in dish water, and thousands of hand washings where I explicitly soap and rinse the watch at the same time?
two reasons:
1) you're making up or parroting someone who made up the bar vs dive depth argument
2) there's no certification for WR in the industry, so watch makers just slap whatever number they think will sell on the dial with no accountability. they're overestimating to the nearest 30, 50, 100 etc at best, and flat-out lying at worst.

>>15458680
Yes, Sinn is impressive.
As for Omega... honestly Omega probably could refine their helium valves or do it better, they just don't want to. They managed to get 300M water resistance with display casebacks but they keep the stupid helium valve there just because it's iconic.

seiko clearly wants to increase the prices on all its watches. The alpinist got bumped from $350 to $725. The seiko5s went from being sold at $65 to $275 for the 2020 models.

seiko doesnt seem to be doing much with Pulsar, Alba, and Lorus, all extremely budget friendly lines. And Orient (also seiko) is now better value than anything seiko has

It happens all the time with the inheritance tax, especially with small business owners and farmers. They go through probate and pay all the taxes and end up selling out the family business just to cover the cost. And then the government takes that money and wastes it by spending billions on social programs for people who contribute nothing into the system.

Just M3'd FEaters S2 and S1 bros... will it pay off? We shall see...

>>15458769
>farmers
>the USDA announced another $16 billion in trade-related aid to farmers. It came on top of the previous year's $12 billion package, for a grand total of $28 billion in two years. About $19 billion of that money had been paid out by the end of 2019, and the rest will be paid in 2020.
tell me more about the government "wasting" billions on programs to keep people afloat.

>>15458719
30m is close to 50m of WR, which is safe for faucet. I dare you to go swimming with it and post results.

>>15458760
I guess you could say that the day I get it will be another day in paradise?

>>15458677
I'm pretty sure this is a misunderstanding. For many movements it's bad to use calendar quickset close to midnight, because the gears that do the change normally are already engaged with the date wheel so you're pushing against those and might damage something. There's nothing wrong with changing the time, I mean, otherwise you couldn't roll the time over midnight manually ever.

You would look at the bit where white turns into black. The edge should be dead sharp, providing contrast like as though the hands weren't monochrome.

It's like how german cameras don't have exposed screw-heads, and how japanese cameras do. Jerry went the extra kilometer because für wirklich, that is his profession. "Yes ich can, lül."

what did you mean by this? saying 30 is close to 50 is meaningless and it contradicts the pic you just posted, which says 30 is splashproof not faucet-safe and 50 is submersible but not recommended.
what I described here >>15458719
is hardly "splashes". this is daily holding under a faucet and submersion.

Casio is probably under selling the water resistance on the F91W to sell more G-Shocks or something, idk, but the F91W is absolutely fine tot swim with.

Also, if you hydromod the watch (fill it with mineral/silicone oil) you can get even more resistance out of it.

Very dumb question you are allowed to laugh at :
I'm thinking of getting a moon phase watch soon. How do you "set the date" on the moon phase with any accuracy? Just refer to your moon calendar and hope you picked the right position for the full moon?

>>15459578
Set the watch to midnight for a date and then use an online calander to set the moonphase to the correct position. Then set the time.

>>15459586
So at the end of the day you just approximate the moon position itself, right?

New
>>15459594
>>15459594
>>15459594

I've found an HMT Sportstar on the bay that seems to be a rare and relatively valuable model in a really nice aesthetic condition but probably in need of a service because it runs fast. It seems all original according to my experience with vintage pieces and the comparisons I've made but it's from the US and I'd have to pay $60 on postage and customs on top of the price so I let it go. Thought it might be interesting for someone on here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HMT-SPORTSTAR-PARA-SHOCK-24-HOUR-BLACK-DIAL-MILITARY-STYLE-WINDING-WRISTWATCH/154031453010
