/fa/ - Fashion

I’ve had this thing for about three months now. I’ve been wearing it more or less daily since then.
I’m still really impressed. The build quality and all that feels super good. The bracelet is fine, very solid and not jangly or anything. It’s not supremely comfortable, but it’s not a problem for me to wear it all day.
In the first few weeks it ran at about -2 per day and now it’s settled in at +2-3, which is awesome.

>>15553129
Damn, you can really see all the sweat and grime on this photo. Maybe I should give it a rinse.

>>15553045
Thinking about taking the LSAT. Since I don't own a watch, I was thinking about getting an LSAT-compliant watch that I could also wear with a suit/office clothes.

So I'm looking for an analog watch without any dedicated start/stop functionality (eg a chronograph), and a rotating bezel with numbers. What's the dressiest watch I can get for under $100?

>>15553147
Why would a chronograph and a rotating bezel be banned for a test?

>>15553045
Rolegs :DDD

>>15553154
The rotating bezel is allowed, that's something I'm looking for. I have no idea why they ban chronographs, digital watches, etc.

>>15553161
I don't know about that, but on my county you are not allowed to wear anything during an official exam, not a single watch because they could be devices used for cheating, imagine the test is about to mark ABCD and inside the watch there is some kind of vibrator or light that is activated by someone else to tell you the answers.

>>15553154
>Why would a chronograph be banned for a test

>he doesnt know of the Death Note watch with a hidden slot for paper inside

Raketa shitter finally decided to show up, it's a bit small but I'm quite chuffed still.

>>15553210
>small
thats literally the correct size for a watch

>>15553213
No, it's ridiculously tiny.
Anything below 50mm is small.
55mm is acceptable.
60mm is where men's watches begin.

Unboxing time

>>15553213
The camera made it look bigger, but it's 33mm and I have 7 inch wrists, so it is definitely on the bottom end of what is wearable.

>>15553230

>>15553234
33mm is manhole cover tier, 28 is a proper men’s watch size.

recommend me some straps please this genuine rolex strap feels way too formal, maybe suede?

>>15553268
>suede strap

>>15553268

>>15553268
>suede

>>15553309
was thinking more like this but yea a muted maroon like that is nice too, great warm colour for fall and winter

perlon fits watches with a casual-dressy vibe very well

>bought single pass suede nato
>am a wristlet so strap end is far too long
>cant tuck it in because the keepers arent wide enough, the leather is too soft anyway, and squeezing it in will scuff up the suede to no end

what do i do here?

>>15553327
Just cut it with scissors is what I do.

I remember wearing a seiko diver into proms and no one gave a shit

>>15553346

I like the idea of it being almost a stealth GS; plus I don't like the modern GS logo/layout but can see why some people prefer it.

pretty much. good way to look classy and have taste in watches without breaking the bank.

>>15553335
Some watch that is similar to the old rolex explorer, I want something that is rather small and simple so I lust mostly over the tudor black bay 36 and the omega railmaster.

On the other hand I also lusting over cheap fakes/homages like tisell, alpha and even the smiths everest...

>he saw that thing, saw that it had subdials, has no idea what these would be for, but it's big, it's "expensive", it's golden, and it will catch people's eyes
That's my guess, from what I've seen out there.

>>15553842
what is?

>>15553845
oh right, forgot to mention this:
Nothing is. It all depends on the watch and who's wearing it.

Is 42mm big for a wristlet?

>>15553889
I have a 7" wrist and I think 40mm looks too small on me.

>>15553129
Great to hear Anon, pic related is on its way to my address, can't wait to get my bits chuffed. Also got a nice DLC black bracelet for it too.

>"TiGeR ShArKs"
Ain't paying for customized dial, fuck that.

Anyone have a Hirsch Ranger?

>>15553889
depends on the lugs but if you are 6" it would basically be 99% unwearable

>>15553889
dial size is a false measure of a watch size. dial + lugs are key and to a less extent thickness and shape count too.

why

Lads I've bought a leather strap from aliexpress for my watch and the fucking strap didn't fit

How do I avoid making the same error? The width matched but not the length. I tried to cut it but no cigar. Let's say I'm going to metal ones now. Can you explain to a retard how to not fuck that up?

>>15554054
Why?

>>15554096
I asked a Japanese girl about Seiko and she laughed.

>>15554063
Nice, its a good looking model that can work as a casual watch and dressy depending on the strap so more oportunities to use the watch.

>>15554109
why does this image pop up in my head

>>15553821

Where can you buy this watch?
Even though it's shown on the Dan Henry website it isn't for sale there.
Is it discontinued in this color or what?

>>15553367

Call me an autist, but something about me hates the way date windows look.

>>15554717
If this watch was 38mm or even 36mm and didn't have that faggot date window it would be just about perfect

>>15554724
It's 38mm and you can choose no date window as well.
I just can't find that watch with that color dial for sale even though that pic is from the Dan Henry website.

>>15554733
Yeah I'm dumb, this is the one I wish was smaller.
Anyway you should email them and ask about that color. You never know they might have one they can sell you

>>15553129
I had one of these with San Martin on the dial and it was great. Specs are impressive for the money and the lume is just incredible.
>>15553335
My lust has been satiated for the past couple weeks. Sold off all my microbrand shitters and got a five digit sub. I might actually be a one watch man now.

>>15554743

How much did you pay for it

not a recommendation, just want input
what is a watch $5k-$20k that /wt/ thinks would look good with avant-garde/edgy outfits?

I feel most watches are very traditional looking and would be out of place in an edgy fit. And this budget range doesn't work for RM, Roger Dubuis, etc.

>>15554743

nice fake, is it a noob?

>>15554762
my original thought was one of these but I'm curious to know if /wt/ has ideas I haven't thought about

>>15554762
Zenith defy range, some of the best of the edgy modern skeleton boys.

>>15554775
based I posted the ceramic skeleton above even
I like the defy el primero but part of me thinks it's still too "traditional." I guess I'm looking for something that wouldn't look out of place in a full Rick outfit (not that that's what I wear)
also 44mm is too big, but hey at least it comes in purble

>>15554762
The PP aquanaut

>>15554782
way too traditional and also not in the price range

>>15554782
Oh that's too expensive nevermind
A little outside the box but the sky dweller on the rolex rubber strap, or anything else rolex sells on rubber.

>>15554787
also too expensive and not avant-garde in the slightest (although I like this model)
come on, would that watch work with this?

>>15554762
Probably something like a Devon

>>15554805
if I saw somebody wearing this watch I would laugh in their face

>>15554805

Help me out anons: I'm looking for a nice watch with a white face, blue hands and small seconds, bauhaus or not doesn't really matter. I've been pointed towards Stowa but they're a bit pricey, and Steinhart but I have tiny baby wrists and their Marine Chrono only comes in 44mm. Does something like this exist under 40mm and under 500 canuckbucks, or should I just get a chinese knockoff for under a hundred like pic related?

>>15554819
Get a chinese one
https://www.good-stuffs.com/The-5th-anniversary-of-Times-International-automatic-wrist-watch-OEM-by-Sea-Gull_p_236.html
Or
https://www.good-stuffs.com/Rosa-Rugosa-classic-2010-automatic-wristwatch-OEM-by-BWAF_p_283.html
Or this nice 34mm one

>>15554823
I think those are exactly like the one I found but with a different brand stamped on

>>15554829
Yeah pretty much. The first and last one are actually made in the seagull factory, so maybe slightly higher quality then the average chinese watch. But maybe it doesn't make much difference.

>>15554829
Yeah just get the seagull one. Or the first one I linked, they are identical just one has a blank dial. Seagull is where it's at, actually a watch factory in china with heritage, one of the largest makers of mechanical watch movements in the world.

>>15553565
People hate the case of the yuefei but I kind of like it.
I like the grey because of the blue hands, but dark grey/steel indicies isn't enough contrast in a dial for me. The blue dial one is more attractive in that regard, slightly.
I like that this brand is honest.
>made in china with pride (no homo)
unlike 99% of swiss shit, which is made mostly in china in fucking shame because if they printed the truth on those dials
>designed in switzerland, made 99% in china
nobody would pay the asking prices.
They don't choose to make in china because of expertise or quality of manufacturing in china, nobody who outsources there does. It's done because it's cheap. Labor's cheap, and every conceivable corner that can be cut will be.
Fuck that noise.
Better to just buy a seagull or a maison than virtually all """swiss""" shit below rolex and jlc.

>>15554096
Japanons and japanbased anons have chimed in about this before.
Nobody in Japan that has money wears GS, unless it's the CEO of some home industry that's trying to look humble and patriotic, ie. someone deliberately making a statement.
People who buy luxury watches reach for what people the world over reach for when they think luxury watch: "swiss".
GS is sold in the same shops that sell cheap cameras and stationery.

>>15554107
Don't order from Mr. Cheng.
That's all you had to do.

>>15554109
>I asked a Japanese girl about Seiko and she laughed.
And? Did she elaborate? Ask for details dumbass.

>>15554845
>https://www.good-stuffs.com/Smaller-Sea-Gull-D819612L-hand-winding-wrist-watch-thin-design_p_492.html
Just a note that the 34mm version is not automatic and will need to be manually winded. The rotor that automatically winds the watch through moving around is removed to make it smaller.

>>15554889
I actually really like the low-poly case and how simple the face is. It makes the hands and indices pop, which is kind of the point of that watch.
Also the back engraving is great.
>I like that this brand is honest.
Fucking this.
In a world of luxury brands (including the people you'd think would be above that) abusing the leeway labels give them to slap their "swiss made" certification, it's refreshing to see someone just go "hey, we'll make everything in-house, our house just happens to be chinese but that's great for you : we can have high standards and good QC AND very low prices because our well-paid employees are still chinese"

>>15554743
>Sold off all my microbrand shitters and got a five digit sub.
Yeah that's the fate of everyone who buys sub-Rolex watches eventually. Shame that interesting watches can only be enjoyed if you're a beginner hobbyist.

>>15554903
>Did she elaborate? Ask for details dumbass.
Confirmed for never speaking to Japanese women.
They have no interest in elaborating or expressing any opinion at all for that matter.

>>15554920
>Shame that interesting watches can only be enjoyed if you're a beginner hobbyist.

>>15554929

>>15554938

whats the point? i like expressing my own personality, and I'm also not into flaunting anything. Every tom dick and harry has a rolex, its a huge snoozefest. If you like craftsmanship and engineering there are a ton of better watches at that price bracket. And if you want watches with personality and character there is an ocean of shitters and vintages

>>15554953
Sorry man you just don't get it. Trying to get a Jap woman who isn't a close friend to express an opinion about something, especially a negative one is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone. The most you would get is something like
>Oh my uncle owns a seiko
That's it, up to you to read into it. They are weird fucking people, you can just be American harder at them and get them to comply.

>>15554971
If you called some jap guy a nigger how would he react? Are they just pushovers?

>>15554971
asians dislike confrontations of any kind and its considered rude to express strong opinions, especially to a stranger or an acquaintance

but you can read body language, and theres a lot of "double speak" and reading between the lines.

Its worse in japan because they are polite to a fault

lol that must be some pre ww2 shit

>get a perlon bro its comfty af and effay
>get a perlon
>its stiff and scratchy and a pain to adjust
how long does a perlon need to "wear in"?

are the expensive ones like Eulit stiff and scratchy too?

finally ordered my King Seiko 4402-8000.

I will post pictures of it when it arrives.

I am super proud.

Why does /wt/ hate seiko?

>>15555090
>Why does /wt/ hate seiko?
no? lots of seikos posted all the time

i dont dislike seiko particularly as a brand itself but the aura of autism and worshipping is kinda a turn off

>>15555092
>but the aura of autism and worshipping is kinda a turn off

this is correct, thats why I dont try to do it.

but I feel like people do it to combat the norm that is to worship and have autism over rolex, patek, ap being the only worthwhile watches

>>15555084
>buy cheap and shitty version of something
>complain it's cheap and shitty
It's likely scratchy because of cheap heat sealing on the ends. Eulit straps don't have that problem since they're heat sealed properly. Adjustment is a once and done thing by doubling the strap back through the buckle so it's not too long, and the buckle pin has a collar so that it always goes through the centre of the strap when you put it on, cheaper straps don't usually have the collar so the pin doesn't often go through the centre of the strap.
Eulit isn't even that expensive, though I guess that might depend on where you live.

Speaking of Seiko, I managed to buy a NOS black/orange monster for $235. Just got it today and was able to resize the infamous pin and collar with just 2 spring bar tools. Only have 6.75" wrists but it's smaller than I imagined and I'm really loving the fit and comfort. Gonna put on a nato at the meantime as I'm not fully confident that I seated the collars properly.

>>15555110
well i bought a $8 perlon from cheapestnatostraps and and the ends are like this, its scratchy af and you can see the pin has a lot of play

though ive read elsewhere that it is "normal" for perlon pins to be this loose so they can wobble and find a hole to pierce the fabric

not sure how true it is

an eulit is like $30?

>>15555127
looking very cool. I like the bright orange on it

>>15555130
Less than 20

>>15555166
>only $20
should have gotten those i guess
i always had the impression they were a lot more so i never looked at them
i need to break the habit of casually buying like 20 cheap straps in all sorts of wonky colours just because they are cheap that i end up not wearing at all anyway

Should i get this for $350? Really want it

These old Seiko quartz movements are pretty accurate.

>>15555186
well, make sure you are getting the whole watch and not just 85% of it. You never know!

>>15555130
That does look very scratchy.
Eulit straps centre the pin and there's no problem finding a hole since they're literally everywhere on the strap, and I personally find off centre to be annoying, I like you initially bought a cheap perlon and found out it wasn't great.
My blue strap cost €15 delivered, though €5 of that was for postage from Germany to the UK, still pretty cheap though.

>>15554644
The smiths is not the same, but the explorer cost 14 times more and is not 14 times better.

>>15554063
Hope you get the small one and not the dinner plate.

Why do they make these watches only in this shitty design? Why not a classy dress watch?
Is Zenith retarded?

>>15555090
>Why does /wt/ hate seiko?
Half of the watches here are Seikos, what are you on about?

>>15555255
Zenith already have some conventional watches, I guess they wanted the money from people who wanted a RM but didn't have enough cash.

>>15554969
I get why you'd not want a rolex.
Every social climber in Singapore (so, basically all well to do Singaporeans) either has one or wants one. It's ubiquitous and thus kinda boring. Originality and creativity is not the stong suit of most of the denizens of that city state.
An absolutely stifling place desu senpai

Got my first dive watch. What strap should I stick it on? Not feeling the NATO it came on.

>>15554969
Then you obviously have/want something better or more expensive, or you're so rich that you can just wear what you want anyway.

>>15555265
I'm talking about the movement.

>>15555285
MN strap.

>>15554637

maybe get a vintage timex ironman/gshock if you like that vibe

I want a cheap-ish jade/turquoise dive watch
Should I get the Vostok Neptune or the Orient Kamasu?

>>15555090
A lot of people in watch enthusiast circles like seiko, but the people who don't REALLY don't like them and will tell you every chance they can get.

>>15555090
Seiko in recent years has been pretty scummy, discontinuing beloved models then reintroducing them at a higher price, but with the same or worse QC on lower end models (misaligned chapter rings, accuracy problems with their 6R15 movements), new (((limited edition))) watches every few months, and generally higher prices across the range in an attempt to go upmarket. I still like their stuff but their value proposition isn't where it used to be.

>>15555363
> watch enthusiast circles
in other words 'poorfags'

>>15554154

God i wish that were me

Are there any watches as small and as light as this thing that have glow in dark hands?

>>15554787
>replace gold bracelet with rubber
>still $38k
what the fuck

>>15555359
they are pretty equal. Vostok is cheaper and the neptune is usually nice looking for a vostok watch. Or you can get the teal scuba-dood and mod the hell out of it.

on the subject of teal divers, this is some micro-microshitter unicorn.

>>15555359
Unless your name is Ivan or Vlad never buy a Vostok.

>>15555404
no

Why do you do this to me Sinn

>>15554795
This might work

>>15554823
>rosa rugosa
What the hell? That means "wrinkled rose" in Italian.

>>Better to just buy a seagull or a maison than virtually all """swiss""" shit below rolex and jlc.
The buy JLC? I don't get it, you're not forced to get a shitter, just save up.

I am the first one saying that they are overpriced but there are still great watches out of Switzerland. It's luxury, you'll have to pay the jew tax, unfortunately.

>>15555406
Boris?

>>15554938
Then buy another brand.

Cast a watch for him wt.
If you are familiar with the bugez cast something that fits his persona too, if not just based on this fit.

>>15555479
The only correct answer is Panerai.

>Roger Dubuis used to make watches like this
I wonder why that changed

>>15555487
Why even bother with numerals?

>>15553487
>california dial
yuck

>>15555487
Amazing design. Any cheap (€100 to €300) watches similar to this?

There was no digital watch thread in /g/, so I'll ask here.

What kind of watch is this? Doesn't look like a Casio.

>>15555594
>>15555594
It does look like a casio thought. There are a bunch of variants of fw-91

>>15555598
The silver lines above and below the dial are unusual, from what I've been comparing it to

>>15555594
90% sure it’s a casio, but timex and nixon make similar silver watches.

>>15555601
it could be a timex or some other brand, not this model though.
the bracelet is a big clue

doesnt seem like any of casio's OEM braclets are in that pattern, /shrugs

>watch displays
post em boys

>>15555594
Built for BWC.

>>15555392
Check out MWC, they have all kinds of small field watches. Paid 42€ for mine, cute desert color and it even has a domed plastic glass. Comes with a single pass strap but i put mine on a casio strap. Solid quality shitter, amazing price for that design.

>>15555589
Dan Henry 1937 I guess.

>>15555624
Based and clockpilled.

speaking of field watches, is there a small (under 36mm) -mechanical- field watch?

the hamilton 33mm khaki field looks great but its a quartz and im not paying $300+ for one

>>15555679
at poljot24 there was a Yuri gagarin watch reissue like the one that went to the space and it was around 33mm and mechanical.

Got this 2nd hand from bro, it's my first diver and really happy with it. But it's a bit problematic and needs to get to the repairshop soon, any thoughts on this?

>>15555698

>>15555702
Neat !

>>15555702
They look nice, expecially in the sun. What's wrong with it?

>>15555705
>>15555698
ye im looking at them right now

thank you!, never would have thought to look here

tired of reading descriptions like 'faithful recreation of WW2 field watch'...only to find out they have """smartly"" bumped up the size to a modern 38-40mm

>>15555706
thanks bucko, my first swiss watch
>>15555713
I'm having problems with the crown, I've never actually owned a screwdown before so I'm really new to it. I tried adjusting the date and time on the watch yesterday and when I checked on it today the date didn't change even though it's already 24 hours. When I tried to adjust the minute hand it stopped moving after some turning and the crown actually unscrewed itself. Am I screwed?

>>15555714
Yes, I'm also trying to find smallish field watches/similar and it's not easy, most big brands only have big watches, even if they have 38mm models their lug to lug size is usually 48m.Other anon posted some brand MWC that I never saw and I'm pretty pleased, they have several nice looking small watches so I will remember that brand.

>>15555714
Yeah, it ruins the proportions of thos damn watches. Fuck those who do this. I don't know of any small mechanicals but hope you find your field watch. Might have to look for older ones, like 80's, 90's, maybe there was more of them.
>>15555721
Not an expert but the date wheel might be just stuck. You can unscrew the crown if the stem can't move, no biggie, watch guy will screw it back on. Just hope that the stuck date wheel did not lead to more problems, but i doubt it. If the guy tries to charge too high prices, fuck him, find another or DIY that shit. Youtube has all the instructions you need. If it's only a stuck datewheel. If you decide to DIY, write here and half the thread will chip in to help.

>>15555743
Thanks for the tip anon, taking it to a luxury watch service place tomorrow with the bro (my bro used to take it there for services). Hopefully they'll know what to do, if not then get ready for some DIY support

>>15555755
Oh they will. Money will solve any problem with it, just depends on how much they will charge for what. I'd try to not get talked into a service of the whole watch, if the last one is not so long ago. Fixing the datewheel and crown/stem only could be considerably cheap.

>>15553210
It looks great, how is it holding up? Mine gains like 15 minutes/day but I love it anyway

>>15555776
It's losing around 10-15 minutes per day, might pop the caseback and poke around a bit and see what happens.

New special edition Bocktocks are out, there's also a pepsi version.

>>15555798
Is this the Chinese out sourced version

>>15555798
Why do they keep making these with integrated bracelets

thoughts?

>>15555815
So that they can charge you for an additional case and the part swap service fee.

>>15555818
Not my cup of tea between the numerals at 12 and 6 and the dots on the far end of the indices. That being said it's pretty clean looking, if the dial and general design floats your boat, why not.

Probably a fucked mainspring. And some other stuff might cause problems.

>>15555202
Seiko's contemporary VK63 mecha-quartz is also rather good at 0.27s/d (observed). My cheap Casios and Miyota solar shitters do about twice as bad.

>>15555306

>>15555487
They were sold to a conglomerate.

If I am looking for incredibly strong spring bars, for a watch that can survive 2000 metres, where would I look ?

>bought an Orient Kamasu
>about +18 sec a day when worn
>still +9 a day when laid on the winder
>watch is measured at about 0,15 Gauss

welp, time to demagnetize it

>>15555015
You can switch it to 1.2Hz and leave it in a safe for 2 months and it'll still keep the time

All you need to do after that is wind it up again

>>15554461
Is this a F.P Journe homage?

>>15555902
many fat spring bars, thick spring bars, strap tubes around the net
look in ofrei or whatever

>>15555669
I didn't mean specifically a chrono, I'd actually prefer one with no complications, not even day and date but I guess I could live with a date complication.
The important part is the style.

>>15555815
>>15555798
The real question is why do they make 10000 different versions and they're all crap instead of 3 good versions?

>>15555878
Not bad but it's still too gaudy for my taste.

>>15555949
I didn't rec that one because it's a chrono, I did it because the dials look similar enough if you go for the silver version.

>>15555971
that's gaudy for you? it looks like any other panda-dial chronograph. do you just hate the case shape?

>>15555964
