2nd for Fortis

100WR 40mm SS bertucci with hex lugs and EL illuminated dial (like timex indiglo), under $100

Let's see if Japan post is faster than Russian post.

>>15556037
That's why I said homage, as in the proper meaning not in the Chinese "clone but with different branding" meaning.

Do we still plaid post

>>15556061

$1 savings!

>>15556063

>Let’s see if the nearly inhumanly efficient Japanese post is faster than drunk Neanderthals

I have a feeling they might be.

>>15556079

stop it

>>15556082
Japan post sucks ass at international shipping unless you get super deluxe overnight or whatever the fuck it's called. SAL is slower than e-packet from china ya dumb weeb

>>15556063
>let's see if the place with one of the most dense road and railroad network in the world on a very small surface where most industrial activity is concentrated on 20% of the territory ships faster than the largest country on the planet
gee, I wonder

>>15556115
Might still be faster since internal shipping within Russia takes forever.

>>15556063
What is the actual method it's shipping? Im surprised you didn't just get DHL.

>>15556115
>>15556122

It's actually EMS, if that makes a difference.

>>15556000
previous anon here
i ordered like 6 straps off them;
-the perlons were the worst. (both the normal perlon and the "premium perlon". Very stiff
-the rest were a mixed bag
-the $15 premium-made-in-sweden "Kvarnsjö Racing strap" was way too thick (like 4mm!) and the paint on the side of the strap was sloppy and some was on the front of the strap (luckily the excess was easily scraped off with a fingernail)
-their nato was meh, not good not bad. Slightly stiff and keepers didnt feel too solid. The best nato I have so far is still an AE one.

however, the "vintage suede single pass nato" was amazingly soft,
and their "seatbelt fabric 2 piece strap" is very good, (only like $3 on sale now btw). But the sizing is off by 1mm, I ordered 18mm; it fitted onto a 19mm tristar barely. Its probably one of my favourite straps now though. Not sure if the colour combi works but meh, its cheap and I like it

>>15556075
its $160 not $100

>>15556075
>was $160
>now $99
>$1 saving

>>15556126
Pre-Carona EMS is pretty decent. Now i have no idea. They just recently started doing international shipping again. For a long time you could only get FeEx or DHL. I will guess two weeks.

>>15556135
Go see what it's selling for on the manufacturer's website and get back to me

>>15556115
Only a fool would choose SAL vs EMS. It's like you want to wait extra long at the expense of around 5 bucks extra.

>>15556115
>>15556063
I got a normal shipping from Amazon.jp in 3 days. Bought on Friday, arrived on Monday.

>>15556140
but its $160 there too?

>>15556072
Nice lord marvel :^)

>>15556137
I don't know if they're shipping to the US again, but they never stopped to my country thankfully. Pre-wuflu ems took 3 days. At the height of the virus hysteria it took a week. I had a package last week that took basically overnight and the delay was with customs for a day. There's a lot of japs in this country though, i think the largest number of families outside of the Japanese archipelago itself so there's a constant stream of mail and cargo.

>>15556072
We do now

>seiko and plaid

>>15556072
>>15556173
how come you guys wear your watches way below your wrists? i usually wear mine on the bone

>>15556072
Did someone say plaid?

>>15556173
Nice anon.

>>15556180
>he doesn't know the origin of plaidposting

>>15556184
Because that's the most comfortable place to wear it, and also where you should wear it, the thinnest part of your wrist so it doesn't slide around.

>>15556184
>wear your watches way below your wrists
thats the proper position, it should be at the narrowest part of your wrist

>wear mine on the bone
impinges movement and a great way to stretch out and possibly misshapen a leather strap over time

Happy almost-weekend, boys. Hope everyone's Friday is pleasant.

>>15556184
Wearing it on the bone is jsut straight-up uncomfortable. Blocks some of your movement too, and might even damabe some straps by deforming them over time.
if you wear it lower on the wrist, you don't get any of these problems and you also don't need to wear your watch as tight in order for it to stay in place.

>>15556199
>>15556201
>>15556208
genuinely didnt know that, but i have honestly never noticed an issue with movement and i wear my gshock while lifting weights too. maybe im just used to it? but the reason i wear it on the bone is because i cover a mole with my watch, if i wear the watch properly then the mole would be visible

>>15556063

I'm waiting for my doctor's office to let me know whether or not I can go to my appointment on Monday. You get a sniffle these days and everyone freaks out thinking that you've got the meme coof

>>15556048
unironically want that watch,ot sure if I will end buying it, the thing is pretty huge, 53mm lug to lug,although the lugs are curved down, but it is a chad chrono and a real tool watch.

>>15556257
Get the Chinese spacewatch
Fiyta GA8370

>>15556257
>>15556048
I really wanted a Fortis a few years ago but then I got into the hobby and realized how shit of a brand it is for that much money. Shit sucks, I really like them.

>>15556184
Because that's where it's supposed to be. Stop wearing your watch on your hand for fuck's sake.

>>15556264
if only they are selling the actual 50-60mm one

>>15556268
please read
>>15556219
i have an excuse

>>15556271
Being an insecure bitch for a simple mole is not an excuse. Learn to behave like you're the king of the fucking world. What do you even lift for?

>>15556201
I wear it like the dude on the right.

This guy in pic literally shaves his forearms, hands and fingers, it's clear he's a massive faggot (if the Sub didn't tip you off) so it's safe to say that you should do the opposite of what he does.

>>15556276
>Being an insecure bitch for a simple mole is not an excuse
its not only that but if i wear the watch properly then the mole would look out of place and vice versa. it fucks with my ocd.
>What do you even lift for?
i lift for myself. same reason why i buy expensive watches, because i enjoy them

>>15556278
stop wearing a watch like a woman wears her bangles

>>15556266
Yes, it's a bit overpriced, but less overpriced than the sneedmaster, you can get the b42 for around 2,5k-2,7, other similar chronos that offer a bit less cost around 1800-1900 so you are paying a bit more for extra watch resistance and space heritage.

>>15556264
Long ago I searched these watches but din't find anything, I should look again, there are a couple at amazon but in one pic it seems to have chinesium allen screws at the back, model image and having fucked up screws...must see more images from different sites.

>>15556299
There is at least some information and pictures about the fiyta spacewatch now. Several sites are selling the commercial version with pictures.
I think this ref is the commercial version of the spacewatch.
GA8470.WBB

>>15556282
Well it doesn't seem like lifting does any good to you if you're bitching about a mole on your wrist.
>>15556278

>>15556301
Yeah that back case design is a bit weird

you can get mole removal walk in surgery, takes no time at all, they just freeze it off with liquid nitro or whatever
friend of mine had a mole on his nose removed

>>15556308
The engraving is cool i just mean the screws it's fastened with but i guess it's not that different

https://youtu.be/YTIXirH9Iqs?t=1246

Which watch is this?

>>15556313
i had a friend of mine who had a massive mole on his chin, and went in to get it removed. they assumed it was cancer so it was free for him.
ill look into this though for sure

>>15556306
saw this same image as amazon at a chrono 24 seller, althought that engraving is different, but look at those screws, I'm sure they are made from chinesium and assembled by muslim slaves.

Also they have these little rubber bits on the pushers which i guess are interesting but I'm concerned about long-term durability

>>15556330
Damn yea that's pretty concerning. I'm trying to dind photos of the actual flight versions that actually got used for space and I can't find any. It's annoying as fuck because they are selling 3-4 "spacewatches" with totally different designs. I'm pretty sure that
>>15556301
With the am pm indicator and no date is the space design but im not sure.

>>15556330
could you link me that amazon one? how reliable is this watch company? first time im hearing about them

So here are the places i have found selling some of the fiyta chronos outside of china
https://www.good-stuffs.com/Aerospace-automatic-chronograph-wristwatch-presented-by-Fiyta-GA8370-_p_354.html

https://www.timebyme.com/us/fiyta-man-watch-aeronautics-black-gunmetal-ga8370-wbw-44mm-automatic-chronograph.html
They make it confusing by using several different movements. Some are just straight up imported swiss ETA movements, then there is what appears to be a chinese eta clone, and then another chinese design that is based on something that the Beijing watch factory makes.
This is their offical website
http://www.fiyta.com/product/man/index.html?k=&t=C8801005

Is this watch cool?

>>15556301
On the official web there are three ''aeronautic'' watches, that one is the medium tier, around 1500eur, >>15556264 this is the cheapest one at around 800 and fucked up screws and there is another one at 2500eur. FIYTA Aeronuatics Collection GA880018.WBW which looks the better one, titanium grade 5, ''adapted swiss chronograph'' (wtf is that),ceramic bezel

>>15556368
the watch is a reissue. Original was in the 60s, and that is what was on the dial too. The reissue is mostly the same,sans upgraded movement and +1mm bigger iirc

and 'Orient King Diver' refers to a ton of different models as Orient has like 9821983123 different SKUs

>>15556375
its quirky-ugly-cool but the logo is kinda hipsterish so im expecting a $400 price tag

>>15556377
>adapted swiss chronograph
Apparently its an eta 7750. There is a bit more info on this page
https://www.good-stuffs.com/5-grade-titanium-automatic-chronograph-Fiyta-GA880018WBW-limited-edition_p_521.html

>>15556386
$100 which is still twice as much as i would be willing to pay for it
I really like the anodized pushers.

>>15556359
Tag got some well-deserved criticism fro their overpricing, obnoxious marketing and mismanagment of classic models but if you got yours from a relative, then it's not any of your business and you'll just have a pretty solid watch that's going to be easy to service since Tag is so common.
Try and clean the bezel though? Maybe it's just the pic but it looks dirty from here.

>>15556387
So eta 7750 and they changed that day wheel.

I watched this other video of the low tier watch and it looks bad, video says it is a 7750 clone and the hand movement is terrible, so I guess the fucked up screws are not the only bad thing about the watch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8AZUYUkbm0

Even the cheaper seagull looks better and smoother.

>>15556394

>>15556359
It's not the worst. The complications look flimsy, and the huge number of font sizes, mismatched colours and the FUCKING DATE WINDOW MISALIGNMENT make it pretty difficult to look at directly. Red, green and white are the most Formula 1 colours out there and I don't know how they came up with orange as the main one.

>>15556412
>FUCKING DATE WINDOW MISALIGNMENT
I'm guessing the watch is at 11.30 pm that's why the 3 is not aligned. It's slowly moving to 4.

Just wanted to share my own tag. Automatic movement and I dont have one of those fancy moving boxes so I wear this thing every day.

>>15556440
Also I like the clear case on the back, looking at all the little gears and stuff. :p

>>15556404
Thanks anon, good info

>>15556381
>>15556358
where do i find them with the kanji? i can only find then in english

>>15556440
>dont have one of those fancy moving boxes

If you have a quick set function, there is no need to have a watch mover. Only watches with complications that are annoying to set need one.
All the other retards just put excessive wear on their movements.

>>15556412
>It's bargain bin rebranded trash
Nice find, i figured it was a rebrand but good job finding it.

Thanks! It was a gift from my father after I finished grad school.

>>15556473
thanks, the one i like the most is with the leather band. but i think its stupid to brand that one as a dive watch but it has the leather band still

>>15556467
Its not hard to set, I just feel like I'm not doing it justice by letting it sit for a few days. I was definitely one of those retards that wound it in the early days. I have learned the error of my ways.

>excessive wear

there are watches from the 1920s or whatever that still work so what is this delicate obsession of 'not getting wear' on your watches? watches are made to run

Unintentionally put together an 3-watch <$10k collection.
Also happens to be all Seiko, all quartz, all bracelet, and all chunky.
In the past few months (or maybe weeks, the pandemic has robbed me of my sense of time) it's just these 3 pieces that have been seeing any real use, except for when I change to a different piece maybe once a day just to keep them running.

・Daily/travel - Landmaster SD
Large and readable, with 10 bar WR more than enough for typical daily use. Unfortunately the GMT won't see much use now, but at least it looks cool.
・Outdoor/beater - MM300 Tuna
300m of WR, highly legible without getting in the way for being too bulky. Stainless steel case+shroud and a quartz movement deals with any impacts too.
・Dressy/weekend - Snowflake
It's the snowflake. Would have been perfect if it were the double logo version though.

>>15556522
Yes, because they made them simple, solid and not needing gay revisions and services, as often as the modern swiss crap. Because the mountain jew want's to make money from the services.
I'd like to see ETA movements still running 100 years later.
The ETA 2824 auto had or still has a problem if you handwind it. Some hears might getting ground down and the dust fucks the movement.
Handwinding A FUCKING FUNCTION THAT WAS BUILD INTO THIS MOVEMENT, IS NOT FUCKING RECOMMENDED.

>>15556534
>gears get worn down and handwinding is not recommended on a movement that supports it
wtf? thats gay af

>>15556186
Nice fake. Kek.

>>15556517
I love HULLO AND WELLCUM, easily one of the most comfy YouTube watch channels and completely disavows me of any need to buy some microshitter that I don't need.

Hey lads, I saw my watch's manual says 'Do not change the day or the date between 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m'.

Now, this might sound retarded, but is that the incorrect time and date that the watch is showing, or the current time in my timezone.

>>15556523
Would replace the landmaster with one of their skinnier watches or an older seiko but this is fine

>>15556523
>all quartz
>all seiko

>Would have been perfect if it were the double logo version though.
no, thats the correct choice
why would you want to mar the snowflake texture with 3(three) mentions of SEIKO

>>15556547
If you want a similar movement that doesn't do it you need a 2804 which is handwinding only, or a unitas clone, or you buy jap watches

I saw this in store today and really liked it, but I didnt cop it. Looking for one cheap as possible, and might get a chink metal bracelet for it. The green camo is really cool irl.

S E I K O
A e S t H e T i C s

I want to buy this steel gshock but it feels ridiculous spending £500 on a gshock. Does anyone know if the bracelet on these is better than on an average casio?

How cheap can I get into a vintage navitimer?

>>15556549
ya hes comfy af
im still tempted by this microshitter that he showed

>>15556551
the watch's time. not your time (how would that even affect the watch?)
during a date change the corresponding gears are engaged so if you fiddle around with the time then it might fuck up the movement, things might get misaligned and all that shit

to be safe (since you dont know whether the watch is showing 9am or 9pm, just wait till the hour hand is in the bottom half before changing anything. Usually i set at 5-7 oclock

>>15556547
>eta 2824 hand winding wear
Please google and have a fun read.
It's said that it's from lack of lubricant. But the swiss designed these shitters in a way, that the lubricant needs to be reapplied more often in a service intervall.

HOW?
I somehow do not believe that, after hundreds of years experience in watch making, modern materials and oils and modern machienes for watch production, we still can not manage to make a movement that is almost maintenance free.
There is no money in such a movement. Or at least that's what these fucks think.

>>15556564
The metal g-shocks are pretty nice. The bracelet is pretty decent, milled clasp.

I can be pretty hard on my watches so I don't want to accidentally wreck it.
Love it to death though, it's what really hooked me into nice watches.

>>15556556
It's redundant, yeah, but it's just more visually balanced at the top/bottom than the gigantic applique GS at the top, then the tiny spring drive text below. Plus hipster cred I suppose.

>>15556606
I was like that too. Because you tend to create such a silly elitism when you just start hanging out on this shit board. But after a while you see that it's the same, boring and autistic stuff over and over.
I noticed that i actually don't give a fuck about the movement and the more i learned about the industry and how you get fucked with service costs sometimes and lack of quality, in expensive watches, i became salty towards modern mechanicals.

I just care about interesting dials and cases and bracelets. The movement only interests me when it doesn't give me headache later.

>>15556596
casios have poverty tier jingle jangle folded bracelets so its not a comparison at all. Both the metal gshock and the AE mod's have solid links

any recommendations for a watch i can wear while riding my bike, exercising? im not looking for a digital watch, but something thats classy as well. obviously no leather straps since the sweat would ruin it.

>>15556619
>something about it just looks off.
its the bezel thats slightly too thick and the puny crown thats too small. Not to mention the colour mismatched daydate wheel but hey its a seiko5...

i have a feeling that seiko intentionally makes seiko5s ugly, to incentivize people to buy their better looking (aka more expensive) watches

>>15556551
The time the watch shows on the dial. It has no internal mechanism that tracks some other time.

If your hour hand is betwen 9am and 4pm, do not quickset the date. Because the magnificent engineers somehow fucked things up and managed to build some movements to fail if you use their functions. Not movements have this problem.

>>15556534
>The ETA 2824 auto had or still has a problem if you handwind it.
This is always said but never proven by those who claim it

>>15556148
Do you live in Australia?

fuck me dead, lads. i've got so much cognitive dissonance. i switch between watches being a huge waste of money and liking them a lot on a daily basis.

>>15556654
At least they're something USED on a daily basis. I used to buy guns left and right and I never go out to the desert or range anymore. Then got into pocket knives. Just narrow your collection down to minimal amount. For every additional watch, you MUST sell a previous watch. Your collection will slowly upgrade.

>>15556648
Read some forums and don't defend the swiss fucks. Somehow shit on way cheaper movements does not grind itself up into sawdust, when you neglect servicing and renewing the oil in the watch. But the swiss managed to make it that frail. On purpose, btw.

I talked to some orient tristar owners in eastern europe. Rural, older folks. They wear watches that never saw a service forever. Some were genuinly surprised when i asked about where they service them.
>they are mechanical, you don't need to open them. I got one because i don't want to change battery often.

Same for soviet mechanicals. They are obv. wrong but that mentality is def. out there and soviets and japs managed to make shit last long easily.

>>15556440
having the day and date at 6 looks way better than rolex an Hamilton with the full-name day at 12. can't stand that shit.

>>15556665
And how many +/- dpw are hey accurate to now?

What movement is best movement for a watch to use 5 days a week and not fuck with resetting the time?
Citizens look lame but solar seems like a win to me

>>15556680
Probably those GPS solar Astrons

They sync the time with satellites when you're outdoors

>>15556665
Just so you swiss consumerist slaves believe me. That is my grandmas house in the southern ukraine. I visit her almost every summer.
This is how most of the houses look like there, the village center a bit better. All the pensioners assemble for a comfy game of cards and beer and cigs. If you think that these people would pay money for regular services or even have a clue about them, you should think again.

Most are a few minutes off a day, under 5. Worst was about 14 minutes off. The guy said that he will take it to the watch guy in the city to let it get fixed.

I assume it gets some oil but not a full cleaning and disassembly and new parts. Nobody will pay for that.

>Read some forums and don't defend the swiss fucks.
I think you need some better sources than "read some forums". Give me one link and I'll take the rest from there, that's all I ask. I am open to the idea I just have failed to see convincing arguments for this claim every time it is brought up. Please help change my mind.

What about mixes beads or leather bracelets with watches?
I love cheap cloth bands on fancy formal watches. I had the look of metal bands

>>15556686
>Just so you swiss consumerist slaves believe me. That is my grandmas house in the southern ukraine. I visit her almost every summer.
looks comfy as fuck.

In poljot24 it says some of the russian watches have service intervals of 10 years and others even more, and then mountain jews ask you to send the watch for an expensive service every 4-5 years.

>>15556699

>>15556686
Here is some more glory. This is close to the center of the city where the market is. There are watch ugys but mostly changing batteries. And like only 2 old guys for mechanicals. The watches they sell there are trash tho, sadly.

You guys see, it has even proper roads and signs and lighting. So a bit less africa tier than grandmas village.

>>15556692
An ETA junkers bauhaus (got it before i had any ideas, will do the service myself), A zeppelin mechanical chrono with soviet poljot 3133 movement and some chinese fashion shitter from the local jewelery store (was my first auto for 200€, had no clue about anything)

Rest is quartz watches.

Watch noob here.
What happens if I don't wear an automatic watch for prolonged time (let's say one year)? Some google results say it damages the watch, others say it doesn't make a difference. To be more precise, I might buy a Laco flieger watch that uses an ETA 2824.2 movement.

>>15556704
Beads are pretty gay looking. Make some paracord bracelets, super fucking easy.

Why does the red end at 3 oclock?

>>15556700
There sure as fuck will be no official statement from ETA itself. Or most shill bloggers, because they get paid to suck dick and will not. Read those forums and use common sense. There is no use if you trust the swiss. Japs and russians also did bullshit, but they charge sometimes way less for that bullshit and services.

>>15556705
>ask you to send the watch for an expensive service every 4-5 years.

This. It's fucking rediculous. I didn't send in my eta. Fuck them. Saw vids how to diy that shit. If i only knew what i know now, i'd have not got the ETA.

>>15556704
This is a really douchey look

>>15556718

And the part with the few drops of oil is just speculation by me. Maybe less is done.

>>15556736
>ETA 2824 wear from handwinding

Google it, click on any forum you like. Most will say that its recommended to slightly wind it and let the automatic do the rest while you wear it.

>>15556400
Thanks for info. Yes ill be sure to clean it. Its been sitting for awhile. Im amazed at this thread just seeing all the variety.

>>15556739
Here a good pic of the zeppelin. They had reworked poljots 3133 in them, like 7 years ago. Got it for 569€. Had no clue about watches but managed to read that poljots were solid in forums. And they were not wrong.

Only had to screw back in some screws that got a bit loose over the years. One was so bad that it blocked the chrono pusher. Which fucking sucks. Will have it fully serviced in the ukraine. Not paying european service prices for a soviet movement.

>>15556604
>>15556620
I don't need watches, I only get them if I like them and they have a use. I have no problem with quartz watches, they have their uses, but I prefer mechanicals for obvious reasons.

>>15556747
Ok I googled it. I've read posts from three watchmakers / repairers. The consensus is "the movement will begin to wear in certain weak points when hand wound beyond 20-30 winds / often, if not properly lubricated.

But isn't that obvious? Any movement is going to "begin to wear" without lubrication. No ones saying an eta 2824 can't go ten years without a service and no ones saying you can't hand wind your 2824 every day for the next ten years and you'll run into issue.

>>15556611
I will never wear a sub because the commie Che Guevara had one.

>>15556752

So there is no need to buy a watch winder?

>>15556739
Cool stuff man. I like em. What do you wear most often?
What is your personal fav?

>>15556623
Why the fuck do you have to keep your "classy" watch on while exercising? It makes no sense. Divers are not elegant either. What you want is a sport watch but beware because that's just a name, you can't mistreat a mechanical watch. Even when riding a bike you must be careful, if you're riding hard I advise you don't wear a mech. In your case a Casio Edifice (quartz) might be better and then you can get a mechanical for when you're doing something chill.

>>15556650
Nope, Italy.

>>15556762
Yo!!!!! That's fucking sick up close. It looked meh from afar

>>15556698

>>15556776

>>15556762
Why are you angry? Did something happen in real life?

>>15556795
Please provide an example of what you mean with "classy" so that we can give you advice.
The Casio is a copy of the Omega Acqua Terra. I didn't mean just a random Edifice, sorry, I meant this one.

>>15556810
that looks good, i like it. when i searched for casio ediface i found pic related. so it wasnt the one you were suggesting.

The richest man in the world wears a speedy. Opinions?

>>15556771
The oils could dry up, but that has nothing to do with whether you moved it or not. What is going to wear a sealed watch down if nothing is running?

There is some debate about whether the oils will settle in spots leaving rubies and metal on metal exposed in certain areas when you do decide to wear it, but the jury is out. The watchwinder is just if you use multiple automatics and don't want to let them run out when you aren't planning to wear them for a while.

Kamasu! My first diver, Im very excited. Such a nice watch for a reasonable price. Was eyeing Triton, very nice watch but I need something more elegant to wear with everything.

>>15556815
Okay, then divers. Well to be honest I have no idea about them so I'll let someone else chime in.
Size is very important, read the guide in the OP.

In some circles a diving bezel means the watch doesn't count as an everything watch, but in those situations you can just not wear one at all. Good budget choice.

>>15556827
Nice man, good fit
Love those kamasu, so nice for the price

>>15556773
Fav is the quartz diver, love it on the leather strap, second is the zeppelin. The junkers is nice but the bauhaus dial and hands bores me now. I will find some fun dial and hands that fit it and a good metal bracelet. Just found pic related but it's 95 euro on ebay and looks bad. But i like this style. Hands would be different tho. It will looks great with the domed glass from the junkers.
>>15556793
Yeah, the champaigne dial and the rest is really nice. They have these also as quartz, with 3 subdials. Can't find them new with the poljot 3133 anymore.
Haha, yeah, my tablet cant do decent pics.

>>15556848
And costs 95€, fucking ebay fucks. No way i pay for that shit in such condition. But it was an example.

>>15556749
I'm not the same guy. Just wanted to say that I got a watch as a gift last year after never really being interested in them. Started checking this place out and now I read it every day. Most important thing is to form your own opinions, and don't take everything at face value.

>>15556767
>But isn't that obvious?

It is. But then i wonder why older movements can, under way worse conditions.
But good that you read a bit about it. If i have the time, i'll look into it in depth and see what the problem might be and how others solved it.

>>15556840
Thank you, I think the size is ideal for me. I will have to get used to weight though. Removed two links when sizing up but this thing is still massive compared to my square G or seiko 5.

>>15556825
>>15556827
Great choice. I like the hands the most. Size is good. Any bigger and it would ruin proportions of the dial.

>>15556704

But this shitter>>15556846
was the closest thing i could find and it looks not nearly as good.

It's out of stock on this link but I just wanted to link the specs, you can find plenty of em available online

I seriously am thinking to write them an email full of bants and question their whole existence as a company. Just for the lulz and to see what customer support could answer.
I might do the banter collecting here in the forum some day.

>>15557047
The bathyscaphe is the model for actual people to wear.
Unfortunately it looks like shit and has not of the features that make the fifty fathoms distinctive and recognizable.

When we were kids, a couple of friend started a fight and one of them grabbed his watch like that and yelled I'm gonna destroy you, this watch is made from TITANIUM, he put a lot of emphasis on that material like it had divine powers, the funny thing he ended getting hurt by his own watch and a couple of links got stuck so he had to stop the fight because the watch was a gift.

Lol, amazing. I also remember that it was a thing among slav gopniks. The other trick was to wear several, bigger signet rings. Tards thought they could cause more damage when they punch somebody. Result was broken fingers and a stuck, deformed ring. Here we have a chav tho.
Non tards just clenched a lighter to not break fingers. And pros had a lead fishing sinker, as a fist load. Fistload was bad to get hit with, lots of force.

The PRW 60 is one of their smallest protreks, which means that it fits better than you'd expect, but it's still huge. There are better colors, but the left is still probably your best bet for jeans + t-shirt. It could work if you had something more out of the way like techwear, comfycore, or outdoor larper, but those are niche.

>>15557363

Rubber is maximum comfy. That factory strap is surprisingly really nice.

>>15557374

rubber just looks cheap and makes your expensive watch lose value

>>15557379
t. has no idea what he's talking about
these hasty generalizations fail for many cases: aquanaut, yachtmaster, seamster, etc.

>>15557387
ok ill give you that. i dont think ive ever owned a rubber band for any of my watches. just leather and metal. i should try it

recently it has been lots of Vostok Neptunes but just get a case shape and dial that you like. That pic is the 420 case (smallest that vostok has outside of fringe stuff like ladies/cadet)

pay a bit more for stainless steel, if you go too cheap on meranom it will be plated brass. You can change the toy bezel to a seiko one or a clean bezel like these if you dont use the bezel timer anyway

np, junghans is not that expensive too, its only like $500 or whatever, original design, heritage and handwind is all a plus

I'm new to watches and only plan to buy two, why is hanwind better? I've noticed this feature on more pricey watches like the Timex Marlin

>why is handwind better
because a rotor adds 2-4mm bulk (thickness) and for a small classy watch like that you wouldnt want it

and personally, i enjoy handwind more than pure automatics. Its more interactive, you get to handle the watch daily, and its much less of a pain if you are not wearing it. With pure autos they die after a day or two and if you want to wear them again, you have to reset the time and date. Thats why some people get an autowinder. That said, most autos these days also support handwinding so you can just manually wind your watch.

>Timex Marlin
'expensive' if you are new (i used to think that way too), but honestly its not. Anything below $500 is entry level in mechanicals. If you can find the marlin reissue under $150 its a good enough deal, otherwise i wouldnt. For the timex it is a modified auto+handwind seagull with its rotor removed to make it handwinding only.

I hope you're carrying a big iron as well because you're going to get jogged for that watch.

Unless you're a special ops agent you have no use for rubber and even then you'd be using nylon. You're just a larping faggot with a kid's toy on his wrist.
Adults use leather and know how to maintain it.

Are those crown and buckle straps? How do you like them?

>>15557513
You already have nice watches :).

Hang yourself, paypig. You are the most tastless and boring, playing the safe game of those mainstream models, pussy.

How has no one mentioned the Sarb033

>>15557403
anyone have experience with these gear patrol straps?
how do you like them, how do they compare, and how much?

>>15557539
>clean bezel mod
so, the timing bezel is removed and a plain ring shape goes on? I assume there's part of some rachet mechanism on the case under the bezel?
this is a thing for vostok and seiko, any others?

Question: what watch style (color, sze, shape, strap, etc) looks best with a t shirt? Say plain white t or black tee
