Even the Oyster Perpetual 39mm is better than any Omega or a collection of 50 shitters

>I so so want a rolex but can't afford a DJ so I'll splurge on this because it's in my budget right now
It's the Tudor BB58 of the current rolex line-up if that makes any sense. I get the sense that most people buying it would probably want something up the line, but blow their load early because of impatience.

Opinion on the 1980s Tag Heuer F1

>>15494275
no

>>15494233

I love the pure Oyster Perpetual. The fact that it's the least expensive rolex is just a cherry on top of a lovely design, movement, and simplicity.

>>15494264
That's fair, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who purchase the Oyster simply because they won't wait the extra few months of saving to get a DJ or Sub or whatever. But I think the Oyster is a classic and simple design, and I would be very happy with it. Tbh, I like it more than the DJ or Day/date, and more than plenty of their other watch lines, as well.

>>15494264
BB36 makes sense in this argument, don’t think most people settle on a 58.

I’d much prefer a BB58 to a maxi case sub.

I have an old one from the from the 80s (my father's) that I'm having serviced right now. I love it and it's probably going to be my daily wearer.

Just got the Longines one on the left back from service. I thought it was a quartz, but to my (and my horologist's) surprise, it's a fucking mechanical wind watch. He dated the movement to sometime in the early-to-mid 70s.

What's the difference between the modern Explorer 1 and the Oyster perpetual? Specifically, what is the difference to warrant the few thousand price difference?

I understand the explorer has numericals on the 3,6,9, and perhaps a better lume. But that's all I can tell. They're both as water/temperature resistant I assume?

>>15494267
It's good for:
1. Stargazing. So you know when the moon is new
2. Periods

>>15494279
My mom has one they're great.

redpill me on suede straps

>>15494345
hipster

>>15494310

The three watches on the left were my father's and he gave them to me. He purchased the Longines and the Gucci watch himself sometime in the 80s.

The third watch, the movado with the leather strap, was a gift from my mother to my father, and she purchased it in '95.

The silver metallic movado on the right is the only watch here that's "mine". It was the first watch I liked and I got it for my confirmation about 14 years ago.

>>15494267

be sure to have the moon custom painted red

>Little is known about the effects of the lunar cycle on the behavior and physiology of humans and animals. The lunar cycle has an impact on human reproduction, in particular fertility, menstruation, and birth rate. Lunar astronomy accurately indicated that the repression of the moon's gravitational influence brings about social tension, disharmony and bizarre results.

>Admittance to hospitals and emergency units because of various causes (cardiovascular and acute coronary events, variceal hemorrhage, diarrhea, urinary retention) correlated with moon phases. In addition, other events associated with human behavior, such as traffic accidents, crimes, and suicides, appeared to be influenced by the lunar cycle. One study even looked at data over a 5-year period from police records in Florida, which showed an increase in cases of homicide and aggravated assault around full moons.

wtf? how does a literal rock 384,400 km (238,855 miles) away affect human beings?

>>15494267

I like to know where the moon is and what it's doing in the sky. You can glean a lot of information about the world that you live in by knowing the position of celestial bodies.

If I know that we're just entering a new moon phase (which will happen tomorrow for August), then I'll know when the tides will be the strongest, where the moon will be in the sky, when the moon will be in the sky, if it's a good night for stargazing, and plenty of other information about the world we live in and our place in the universe.

It makes me feel like I understand a little bit more of our place in the world when, after looking at the time on my watch, and noticing that we're entering a waxing moon, I can look at where the moon will likely be in the sky right now and verify my prediction. And when that prediction is correct, man do I feel like a fucking navigator.

Right now we're in a new moon. The moon is between the sun and earth. This means that the moon is only visible during the day (but just barely, you'll probably never see it), and that we're coming towards Spring tides (large differences between high and low tide) because the tidal forces that the moon and sun exert on the earth are all in alignment. High tide will also occur ~noon and midnight, and low tides ~around 6pm/am (roughly, of course, a few other factors determine tide times, like the rotation of earth). This also means it's the perfect time to go star gazing because there will be no moon in the night sky to brighten it up. And knowing when the tides will be roughly in and out helps me navigate when to go crabbing, or swimming, or explore the intertidal zone for starfish, or when to hold bonfires down by the beach with friends.

Take the luna-pill, anon.

>>15494365

Hahaha, no. I'm just a 28 year old that recently got into watches after visiting these threads and asked his family to ship over all his jewelry and watches he never wore to his new home across the country (and his senpai decided to give him a few gifts of their own in the package).

I thought it was a bee but I think it's kek worthy to call it a fly.

Might live longer and not get dented in by the buckle and develop cracks. Probably will be a total bitch to keep clean. Those pores will fill up fast with all kinds of shit. I guess you'd have to take some extra care for them, like brushing them with some boar brush. Look up possible maintenance methods for them.

>>15494386

>>15494468

I would love for more people to get interested in the moon. Automatic watches are these tools that we love because of their history and craftsmanship and for how closely tied they are to navigation.

But the moon has been with us for far longer than automatic watches, and has helped us navigate life and the world for thousands of years.

When the comet NEOWISE was in the sky last month, I went out to view it with my gf. We each had a pair of binoculars with us. And while looking at the comet was truly remarkable, perhaps equally as remarkable was looking at the moon through binoculars. Because it's so close you can really see actual detail on its surface, and seeing the moon like that was wonderful.

Also, the brightest objects in the sky that appear around sunset before any other stars are in the sky are actually planets. They're so bright so they show up before all the stars. A good way to check if what you're seeing is a planet or a star (if you don't have an app), is to see if the object is twinkling or not. Stars twinkle, planets do not.

>>15494303
The movado museum, without numerals, on the snake strap looks fun.

what are some watches that have a kind of magical circle/celestial vibe on the dial? budget is $0-2k i just like this sort of thing

very nice anon, here's mine.

Poorfag here, looking for a nice everyday watch which would go well with most outfits, since I don't know when the next time I'll be able to justify buying another watch will be. Do you guys think an Orient Defender would fit the bill? I like the cream dial Defender a lot.

Any filson bros?

Anyone wanna trade their like new Skx007j for my vintage 66-9990/ It's serviced & oiled.

>>15494648
extra bands included

>>15494519

Ya, definitely has that classic look that Movado is trying to replicate in modernity. It's a great dress watch with just enough sleeze to be worn whenever.

ID? I don't have better pic

>>15494642
Admittedly I'm not the most effay man around but I think it's a decent choice for $155 (https://www.jomashop.com/orient-defender-watch-ra-ak0405y10b.html))

>>15494642
yea why not, looks good and wont cost an arm

makes me wonder why they think their product should cost more? or is it just that the people they've targeted are overall dumber.
clean looks, though ultimately derivative in every aspect - pretty much the only "praise" you can furnish for any garden variety micro brand startup these days that just keep on coming.
i'm sure the lockdown and its effects will put a stop to any more for a goodly while

>>15495277
The mountain jew would demand 15.000 burgers for that watch.

why does this have 4 hands?

>>15495321

>>15494233
Yet Omega watches have a natural flow to them, in their design. Their cases are not these sqaured of blocks, like rolex.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for the turned lugs but I'd rather have an omega than op and subs are 3x the price of a new grey market seamaster.

So buy omega or buy a 2 tone £12k rolex, its only 3k more to get into 2 tone. Explorer line wrecked with the 39mm, 36mm shit braclets, explorer 2 line same problems. Datejust is dated looking. OP is to basic and if your buying rolex you need the hands. Milgauss is dead, 5k gauss vs omegas 15k standard.

£3k for a seamaster, you get a lot, next step up is 2 tone sub or gmt. Oh and who ever buy a braclets watch without a quick adjust.

>>15495335

>Fresh for the fall is the Altair, which is our first offering from the storied TriStar collection. The watch gets its name from the star, which is most notably a part of the “Summer Triangle”. The Summer Triangle is visible in late autumn, and is a formation that showcases three bright stars— all of which come from separate constellations.
>The Altair is a perfect example of how well retro-styling can blend together with classic looks. The watch itself features a date, day of the week sub-register, and 24-hour sub-register. Its sunburst dial is augmented by Roman numeral markings at the four axes and brilliant spear-shaped hands. It is presented in a vintage-inspired, 39.5mm cushion case, complete with wide lugs and a fully-polished finish. The case is rated at 30m of water resistance, and the watch is powered by the Orient caliber F6B22 movement, which is automatic, hand-winding, and hacking. It is important to note that until now, all TriStar watches were strictly automatic-only..

enicar is a old french brand that ultimately died due to the effects of the quartz crisis. In the past they were very popular.

the brand still exists now in China but its a new owner and different offerings (name bought over after bankruptcy). Mostly mallshit now

>>15495388
>Base Caliber: ETA 2893-2 or Sellita SW330-1

I've read that too about their watches. And i'm asking again, what the fuck are they smoking to ask such prices as a micro shitter brand, for a fucking ETA and his origin. Selllita and ETA are similar anyway.
"Manufacturer montana" my ass. They just engrave the rotor and swap some cheap parts. There is no regulation for calling themseves manufacturer, they can swap out a screw and voila, they are the new manufacturer.
>>15495436
Totally this. Everybody should know about the 60% rule of the "swiss made" scam.
I think it's just the shill defending his product. Fucking kikes can fuck off with their tricks. Go to plebbit, they are the blind consumers.

>>15495471
IIRC the newest Orient calibres aren't Orient at all but derivative seiko stuff.
Orient is dead.
Too bad, so sad, thanks for all the memories.

Thinking of getting a titanium victorinox. You think its worth the asking price?

Which watch will get me a nice qt fat wife who just wants true love and isn't a crazy sex fiend or a materialistic whore, /wt/?

>>15495508
Get a citizen memetanium. Has many styles and the size of 40mm is actually suitable for human wrosts. Victorinox are clownshoes for your wrist.

>>15495508
No. But you can probably get it for cheaper on which case it'd probably be a solid enough watch. People don't complain about victorinox watches. I like the nightvision model but that's about it. Why titanium though?
Keep in mind that generally all low end quartz modules are tiny things that sit inside of the inevitably large empty watch case that they have to fill with a giant ugly cheapo plastic spacer. When the module breaks it's not repaired like a high end quartz movement or mechanical, but ripped out and thrown into the bin and is replaced with one fresh off the ronda/eta assembly lines in Thailand and China.
$500+ bucks for a Chinese made case and a Thai or Chinese made movement parading itself as "Swiss"?

The same way any company can do that for most items which end up being produced off site. Take Seiko for example. You're not going to see "Thai Movement" on the dial of an SKX, but 7S26s aren't made in Japan (always). They may have been vintage, not sure.

That being said, do we consider them not Seiko / Japanese movements ?

Anyone own some of the newer Hamilton Khaki watches? The ones with the H10, H30, and H40 movements? Are they all just rebadged Powermatic 80 movements, or is at least one of those based on the 2824? I'm thinking of picking up a Khaki King as an everyday watch with some wear for dressier occasions, but I at least want one with a serviceable movement.

Sadly for me the seller won't ship outside the UK, but it might be a very good buy for the British anons on here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-LIP-and-FORTIS-watches/174393587335?
A 1940's Fortis chronographe (probably a Landeron 48 inside) and a LIP T18 for 150 pounds, less than 35 minutes remaining, zero bids so far.

Found this Vostok Albatros for 60$ on Ebay. According to the /fa/ guide it should be a 90s model since it has no "made in" markings, but I'm not sure. Is it a good watch for a first cheap one?

Put my grandpa's ancient Elgin on a leather zulu.

For 60 dollars you can get a new Vostok that probably looks better

What's wrong with the Powermatic 80?

>>15495874
Am I reading this correctly? This watch for 30 fucking usd?????????? Am I high?

>>15495893
Swatch apparently switched out the metal escapement with a synthetic (plastic) escapement, and varying reports on the serviceability of the movement, some say it can be opened and serviced just like any other ETA, it's just that you can't expect some parts, like the mentioned synthetic escapement to be readily available, others say it's pretty much a throwaway movement and that Swatch will just slap in a new one if you take it to them for servicing. It's difficult to tell since they're new enough that barely anyone's at the point where they need to service them.

>>15495889

vostok is the most honest brand desu
selling watches like its 1980

ofc the 'hack' is its cheaper in rubles.

In the end got the Kuznetsov and this one. Based or unfazed?

>>15495928
I would change the strap out for a nato once it arrives.

>>15495898
Have a similar one. Looks good, feels nice but slightly cheap, if you want more sturdy go for komandirskie classic, they will run you around 50$

>>15495933
No. Vostok rubber straps are actually decent

>>15495933
>>15495940
>being rubberlets

A fabric strap fits much better and is thousandfold more comfortable than a rubber/leather strap. Rubber is the worst, sweat a bit and grime builds up like dick cheese.

>>15495946
Rubber also sucks if you put a lot of wear on the watch. Salt water and mildly aggressive chemicals attack the shit out of rubber straps. Have lost a G-Shock when the rubber finally got brittle and weak enough to just snap while out at sea. Have had other rubber bands to get to the point they weren't far from doing the same until I replaced them with canvas/nylon.

>>15495946
Wash your strap, idiot

>>15495952
G-Shocks use a PLASTIC strap, not rubber
I hate it when tards don't know what they are talking about

>>15495957
>he fell for the shower meme

>>15495898
its plated brass, thats why
the SS ones are more expensive
still very good price though

>>15495964
Did I say it was the stock strap? It was an aftermarket rubber, same as I put on a couple other watches before ditching them. I deal with elastomers and chemical compatibility as part of my job. Genuine rubber straps will get brittle eventually if they are exposed to high wear conditions and certain common chemicals. There are of course alternative elastomers that can be used, but a majority of watch straps are a variation of generic SBR.

>>15495973
Sounds like this is not an issue if you wash it

>>15495836
>>15495904
The Powermatic 80 is a whole family of calibers, not all of them have a synthetic escapement, the Hamiltons have the classic 2824 escapement as far as I can tell, unlike the Tissot and Certina offerings. The H-40 also seems to be based on the 2834-2 instead of the 2824-2. I'd personally never buy it because I'm more of a hi-beat guy, but I don't think serviceability will be that much of a problem in the future, it just needs time, unless Swatch goes full jew on their parts accounts.

>>15495952
That's a beautiful watch, wish a real brand would make something like that.

>>15495227
No, that's an Asian dude

Do you get asked what time it is by people outside?

I was asked by a guy last week but I think it was a homeless beggar who wanted to use it as his introduction before revealing his true purpose. Luckily I was perceptive and kept walking while saying it to him over my shoulder.

when will this thread go back home to /g/

>>15495198
What was there?

>>15496093
tripfag bullshit, I'd assume

Just bought my Omega Seamaster Pre Bond from 1986. Completely unworn full set and couldn't be happier. Pic related but this one is obv worn.

>>15496113
...Why?

>>15495992
Fresh water rinses do help, but they aren't magic. SBR is porous, chemicals and salt water will penetrate the rubber where surface cleaning will not do much of anything. I'm not arguing against rubber if someone loves it, just that it's not the magic bullet a lot of people make it out to be.

>>15496010
Zing. How will the japs ever recover? Congrats on the (you).

no one has ever worn their watch underwater and certainly no one has ever needed to

Either stupid or lying

>>15495952
What model is this?

>>15496070
Hopefully never, there was a few watch threads on /g/ a couple of weeks ago and they were a total shitshow, way worse than here, all of the old autists came straight out of the woodwork. I still miss the old days on /g/, but those days are over and it's time to move on.

>>15495972
What's the problem with brass? Can't you apply a rust-proof coating or even for stainless parts?

>>15496135
More work

>>15496115
Because I wanted it = bought it.
Questioning why someone buys something when they want it shows exactly the reason why you are here seeking for validation from others anon.

>>15496113
Looks like a Tag Hauer

>>15496141
Poorfags gonna poorfag, it's the same kind of pathetic retards who ask people if they should buy A or B, when they should just fix their lives and buy both. Imagine being such a loser that you have to choose lmfao.

>>15494237
Usually I prefer 36mm, but I'm not a fan of the double markers at 3,6,9.

>>15496141
But I am not seeking validation. I just think that watch is ugly and derivative.
You seem upset.

>>15496135
coating wears off and scratches show up
your sweat, oils will react with brass and cause pitting over time
unlike pure SS its not polishable (depending on how thick the coating is)

>>15496153
scratches
it can be polished off and replated.

>>15496153
Is that a Timex? My Timex's crown rotted away after a few years.

>>15496153
>>15496157
eww, those holes....

Is there no treatment to prevent this? I read something about getting the chrome plating off and doing another finish on brass to give it a particular look

>>15496157
after polish and replate

>>15496158
yes, timex expedition

>>15496125
Nevermind, found it. It's a SARX035.

You misunderstood. Couldn't be happier. Bye now anon. I hope one day you will find a watch that you like.

>I was asked by a guy last week but I think it was a homeless beggar who wanted to use it as his introduction before revealing his true purpose

Oldest trick in the homeless/thug book.

>ayy man what time it is

>>15496162
I can taste the hurt on your butt. You lashed out in defensive anger because you know your watch is fully. Pathetic

>>15496166
please come taste master's sissy poopy butt anon. master's rolex is all fogged up and could use a little poopy licking

>>15496174
>he's so upset his watch was called ugly that he has lost his mind

poor "people" are disgusting and unfortunately a lot of them frequent these threads. I wish there were a solution to this, but it seems nothing can be done to keep them away

>>15496159
yes, replating
prevention..i suppose you can wipe it down more often.

its one reason why the soviets were so fond of these bund straps, there is a layer of protective leather between skin and watch so you are not just sweating into the metal. A nato would work too, but less protection on the edges

most brass case watches now do have a SS caseback, but the edges are not, so they will be still inadvertently get sweat on them.

>>15496125
>>15496161
You got it. Damn good looking watch with damn nice finishing at its price point. Trade off is the movement is workhorse but meh.

>>15496186
Post your collection.

>>15496186

Sinple really ,

Think about it

>>15496123
I'm replying and you can't stop me. I replaced the strap on one of the oversized g-shocks because it was uncomfortable and did not form to the wrist well. Found an aftermarket rubber strap that was far more comfortable. It was a cheap beater watch and NATO wasn't feasible. The plastic straps are typically even worse about becoming brittle and having their integrity compromised.

>>15496166
You sound like a douche. I think his watch is ugly too but who the fuck goes through so much effort to do so

I wouldn't wear an OMEGA put it this way.

The pleb is immunized against all form of success: one may call him a redditor, fag, nigger, tranny, janny, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a poorfag and you will be astonished at how he recoils, howq injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "P-post your collection."

>>15496252
Not him but the watch doesn't help you surf. It helps you gauge timing and conditions. Take it off, get in the water, get out of water, put it back on.

What's a good perpetual calendar with a moonphase that isn't 30k ?

>>15496252
>why, what happens if you stop? never had it happened to me yet
they ask you for money, and if you have a nice watch, you look like you have money. looking like you have a money to a desperate person is not a great situation.

This. Most of the luxury posters here would be dumb enough to wear a nice watch in a shitty area just to flex. God-willing they'd get what they deserve.

>>15496276
I won't even wear a basic bitch G-Shock in places like Rio De Janeiro when I have to travel for work.

>>15496319
Do muggers actually recognize expensive watches? I'm pretty sure they'll take your 30 dollar Vostok and then check how much it costs.

>>15496311
Based.

>>15496335
Depends on who and how desperate. Someone addicted to drugs that resorts to petty crime won’t give a fuck if your watch is worth $60 or $6,000. They just know it can at least net them one more fix.

>>15496113

Wtf is with the hour hand on so many watches featuring this hippie peace sign/mercedes logo/tri-star?

Is there some actual horological history behind it? Because it just looks like they're sponsored by mercedes.

>>15494478
It smells like farts in those subs.

>>15496342
Are those two on the left extra magazines?

>>15496342

Ew, lmfao. Boomers and larpers OUT.

>Ridge wallet
You frequent a fashion board and carry around a disgusting Ridge wallet? Holy fuck, I thought you people would at least care about craftsmanship since you're in a watch thread.

Also, it's very obvious you've never encountered a homeless person in your life if you think they're going to attack you or try to steal your watch. Unless you live in Rio, this doesn't happen.

>>15496342
god this is pathetic lmao stop whoring for attention with this cringey shit and garbage watch its embarrassing

Are digital altimeters worthless or do I just need a battery swap? It was 100m yesterday.

>>15496345
It's meant to be a a large luminescent circle to greatly differentiate itself from the minute hand (look at the first Submariner and how the hour and min hands only differ in length). But luminescent compound back then needed more support so you just can't paste that shit onto a ring hence the circlengetting split 3 ways.
I doubt there's anyhting more to it than that and any resemblance to mercedes and the nuke disarmament symbol (faggot hippy sign) are purely coincidental. It doesn't even look like a peace sign anyway. Mercedes maybe, but it's not like that image was so engrained in peoples minds back in the 50s as it is now. Nobody wanted anyhting to do with any German products for a long long time.

>>15496371
if you think a homeless person is not significantly more likely to steal your watch than a non-homeless person, you are just too far gone

>>15495853
I just received this after waiting a month but i must i say i'm truly happy. The main reason i bought was that i wanted a casual watch with a non-leather strap and for the price i payed it's truly perfect

Yes yes everybody knows that no need to state the obvious.

>>15496469
Amphibia 170863
One of the nicest looking amphibias by far. I'm actually surprised it's nit an SE model. The only thing I would want to change on it is the second hand from an SE GMT because those are a bit wider with lume on them, pic related.

>>15496493
I wish it came in standard cushion case and not whatever this one is called

>>15496376
They go by atmospheric pressure, so sometimes they think that all pressure changes are due to changes in elevation but in reality they were usually due to fluctuations in the weather. I calibrate mine every other day. My house is at 61meters but the altimeter can show everything from -40 to 130 throughout the day

>>15496493
I don't really like the dial, but the edges of that case and the color of the bezel are 10/10.

Anyway, looks like it's out of stock, which is good because I don't really need a third Vostok.

I need to stop obsessing over a new watch every two weeks.
I fall completely in love, read and watch everything about it and resolve to buy it and then only a short while later the thought of the watch bores me and I have no interest in it.
I think I need to buy one soon that’s so expensive that I won’t dare look at other watches.

Has anyone ever gone swimming in their SARB033/035? I know they’re rated 100m WR but without a screw down crown I never trusted mine to be submerged. I don’t wanna dive in it, just go swimming. Can anyone attest to the water resistance?

>>15496513

Add the case to your cart and then add the ''changing spare parts'' to your car

You write in your order details what you want switched.

>>15496384

It's still a probability well below one percent of one percent. Just because it's double the chance that a homeless person steals your watch over a non-homeless person doesn't mean that it's something to worry about.

>>15496480
Here's my garbage

>>15496376
what the fuck are you gonna use an altimeter for? Plane altimeters work because you gotta calibrate them before and during each flight to a known airport's pressure

As the other anon said it's a function built into their site. I don't know about movement size and case compatibility though. Might want to make sure that it all fits first.

>>15496606
they're all completely interchangeable. The only things that need to be considered for case compatibility is the crown and bezel. The movement are are completely interchangeable, it's the reason vostok does a small seconds hand to their GMTs, to avoid making the movement taller with 4 central hands.

>>15496580
I love it

>>15495277

I'd balk at $500 for seagull, too, though.

>>15495844

the nato style looks kinda strange to a watchguy, but normies would probably never notice.

>>15495928
I'm not crazy about divers, and vostok makes a lot of ugly dials, but this is pretty cool. it's not for me, but I like it for what it is.

>>15496480

other 2 are not to my personal taste but the choices you made at least make sense compared to 5-divers-and-3-digital-quartz-type garbage you see here so often.
