Posting a gif so you all can enjoy the pure and unadulterated Haute Horlogerie that this clock carries. Baguette philippe watchmakers wouldn't be able to create a chicken complication for their shitters.

I didn't want to call attention to the trolling and general faggotry of the last thread in the hopes that this one will be better.
But it's more likely pic related

>>15560189
yes, alarm, so finely designed it acts as the Sun on the picture.

My deceased mother bought me the clock and I used it every day to go to school, it was a surprisingly accurate clock, around +5 minutes per month. Now I started it just to hear it, has been 20 years without running, I thought it was KO because one day it fell and stopped working, so I moved it a bit and apparently it runs now, I also opened it and everything looks to be on the right place.

>>15560151

>>15560104
There's something really alluring about that Yema Superman with the Seawolf-style dial. The bracelet, case and sapphire bezel flow together so nicely.

>>15560206

I think I'll have to settle on a sapphire sandwich Speedy guys... I just either can't afford any of the watches that I actually want or they're too cheap/shitty brand, and this is I guess a pretty good compromise of being a known brand and looking kind of like I want it to look.

I just wish the new ones weren't so expensive or I'd get one of those, do you think there will ever be a release of a cheap Speedy again or is the new one the new default price for a "generic" one?

>>15560321

Dont get meme’d out brother. The speedy is a beautiful watch. The only reason it gets shat on if for being an icon.

>>15560250
>dolan soliciting a blowjob

>>15560329
Oh I know that and I can see why, but it just feels like such a compromise on every level and it's still really expensive used especially compared to when I first started getting into watches, a few years ago it was like 2k less than now.

Some chrono24 sellers are such garbage. I ordered a watch and theyre been reviewing the order for like a week now. I keep messaging them asking for updated and have gotten no response. I'm pretty close to just cancelling the order so I dont have to deal with these ppl anymore

>>15560334
You can still get a speedmaster for a reasonable price depending on the model. Pic related is my 40th anniversary edition of the original speedy. I didn't choose it for the price, but it's one of the more affordable ones thanks to it no "being a moonwatch", even though the movement and case are the same as a professional. I believe you can get it for a bit under 3k. I'd love a sapphire sandwich, but I prefer the look of the hesalite and omega only made one edition with that crystal and a see-through caseback

>>15560349
they probably don't actually have it in stock and are in the process of buying it from another dealer as you wait
shit should be instant

>>15560334

The way i see it, id buy used and not the sandwich. Its a classic thats already lost its NEW value so you dont lose money if you sell. But if you feel like youre compromising then you wont be happy, ever. I love lurking watch subs but when i take a step back and talk to watch nerds i meet outside I realize its easy to go full tard here. Life isnt supposed to be perfect, part of the fun is the con that come with the good. Then again, im shitfaced so do whatever man

S-sorry honey, I just couldn't resist the allure of HOMOS

>>15560485
>>don't want to wear it to work due to the implication of wearing a rolex
This is why I'll need two watches even if I just get the Speedy, since I'm lower class/underclass, and I won't be able to wear it around most people in my daily life.

>>15560485
I understand that well, I inherited my dad's c.2003 OP36 but it sits in its box 90% of the time in part because I feel wearing it everywhere might seem like a flex, especially since I'm young and fairly low in my company's food chain. I do wear my dad's PO2500 from the early 2000s all the time though.

>>15560583
>Preferably drilled lugs
On a dress watch?

>>15560611
I can live without drilled lugs and a 20mm lug width, I just think 18mm looks more elegant, and I've got a lot of 18mm straps lying around.

>>15560780
I like changing straps regularly so that extra convenience would be great to have though it's not a must-have.

I really like the movement that's in it, high beat, thin and cheap. They didn't really take advantage of the thinness as much as they could have. I was really in love with it for a while, awesome great retro diver look. But im less convinced that i love the yellow lume and sandwich dial. It's not a bad watch for the money.

The only watch you'll ever need (well, for most of us at least)
>I didn't say want, I said "need"

How bad/good do you think this looks?
I have a bunch of 'vintage' Seiko 5s, Orient and Citizen watches and ALL of them have issues ranging from not running to losing 10 minutes per day. I'm done with this vintage garbage.
I can buy this one new for $100. Would you say it's ugly/tacky or do you think it looks cool? I personally like the green + gold.

>>15560889
If it still works why buy another one

Plus I've really gotten interested in watches during the lockdowns

>>15560927
I think it's ugly, tacky, and cool at the same time...

>>15560928
>If it still works why buy another one
/wt/ is probably one of the most consumerist generals on all of 4chan. Watch people literally have 10 watches lined up ready to buy as soon as their paycheck comes in at all times.

>>15560932
It's okay friend. I don't really have a very developed taste and just want something cool looking that's not too flashy but also not boring.

>>15560934
The orient tri stars are all a little bit quirky, but usually in a good way. I think it looks good. Go for it.

>>15560841
39mm
>>15560861
I'd go for the black/silver anyways. I like the vintage details like the sandwich dial, and I fucking love sapphire bezels. I'm just worried I'd be overpaying when I can get an islander 38mm for like $300

>>15560927
whats the top button for?
im >>15560889
(obviously) i think retro styled watches are cool af, and the one I have is my fav watch atm. I'm sure there are other anons who love the retro look as well, in the last thread there was a guy posting about old seikos and faceted crystals, which is extremely 70s/80s

you should just buy watches if you like them, a watch is after all an extension of your own tastes and likes. Its only $100 anyway

>>15560945
>whats the top button for?
Setting the day. I have another broken Orient here with the same button layout.
I like your watch as well. Do you think the green + gold looks nice in real life?

>>15560944
Yeah the islander is a bit cheaper. But the aquascape actually has its on design going on. Like I said I like the movement it's a step up from the typical nh-35 that's in everything.

>>15559074
Sorry for the delay, anon, been busy. It's a Seiko SARX035. Pretty damn expensive for a Seiko, but they really do put a lot of effort into the finish and materials. If you're okay sacrificing movement to stay under $1,000 then it's a good watch. The 6R15 is reliable enough.

>>15560949
ah ok

mine is loud on the colours but i love it like that, its a plucky little thing
ya i think it does, green dials are nice, and like with blue they pair very well with brown leather, if you want a dressier look

>>15560976
Very nice friend, I'm keeping the metal bracelet though.

>>15560928
fair enough
>>15560980
the metal bracelet is fine though i found fiddly folded end links a bit annoying (cant ask for much for $100), and it gets sweaty underneath in the tropical heat im in. ..adjusting it wasnt as much as a pain as I thought it would be, though i had to use punch tool + hammer + tweezers. But im sure you have been through all that already

>>15560583
Only thing that comes to mind is the Longines Conquest Heritage, you're getting a watch with vintage aesthetic that isn't fauxtina'd to kingdom come, and vintage proportions with the 35mm case, though it's an acrylic crystal, but Polywatch will be your friend if it'll be your daily driver.

>>15560366
custom-watch-concepts sells high quality display casebacks to fit heaps of different Omega and Rolex, check it out.

t. I bought one for my Seamaster mid-size even though it halves the water rating from 300 to 150. I don't diver anyway

i know these threads are flooded with these questions, but i'm gonna buy my first watch and i have no knowledge to make a good decision yet and probably will regret later, so i'm after some opinions of people who know their shit.
Is this alright for an everyday watch?

>>15560994
I never found changing the links a bit to be a big problem. I have some screwdriver I bought to open an iPhone once and it can open up the links from the inside, doesn't require any specialized tools really.
It's maybe 20 minutes of fucking around a bit and you're set for life.

>>15561013
Yeah it's nit my style but it's better than 99% of watches in that price range. Since you are okay with quartz check out citizen stuff too. They have lots of cool designs and the solar charging makes the watch even lower maintenance.

>>15560797

That is very accurate and glad to hear it runs again, anon. Keep it well

>>15561013
im sure the watch works, but tbqh i dont like how cluttered the design is. There are 3 different shapes for the indices, the subdials are extremely squashed and suffocated, and the date dial is like a dog squeezing onto the already crowded threesome bed

>>15561013
Orient is an excellent choice for your first watch, if you're pleased with the looks and think that it'll be appropriate for what you do everyday, then I don't see why not, though bear in mind that it is decidedly a tool watch, though you could always dress it up with a strap.

>>15560994
After 13 years of 24/7 use the bezel is faded and scratched to hell. Also 2 of the bracelet pins are on their last legs

I'll probably get like $50 or something if I sell it so I'm not going to bother.

this and the SARB are reddit incarnate.

I bought a quartz tuna with my first paycheck back in 2015. Every time I looked at my wrist I could see the $1000 I spent and how a watch isn't worth that. I ended up returning it to the NYC seiko boutiqe.
It's nice that the chinks made a nice version of the original tuna design but with better materials and a mechanical option.

If you have a really small flathead screwdriver I guess it could work, but the best ones for stiff spring bars are the little jeweler's screwdrivers that come with a watch repair toolset, but if you have those, then you probably have a spring bar tool already.

>>15561649
I don't have a problem that you're a paypig, no. Just stop thinking there are others as naive and stupid as you are.

no thanks.

>>15561657
Yeah, I'll try with a screwdriver but I don't have high hopes, the strap should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday.

>>15561601
nigger buy the $10 tool so you don't fuck up your watch

>>15561645
watches are almost never sold at MSRP
discounts like that are normal and common
can sometimes see as high as 80% off from grey market sellers
the goods are legit if you buy from reputable sites, its just them needing to liquefy stock, making space for new goods, or other stores going out of business, lots of reasons

i dont think its possible to fake an ecodrive anyway, though iirc most ecodrive watches strongly discourage you from opening the caseback

>>15561662
if you dont have a steady hand its very very easy to slip and nick your case if you use a screwdriver, especially if this is your 1st time
just buy a tool, even the cheapest $1 AE ones will do

alternatively if you have those cheap plastic tweezers you can try gouging out a notch in them and ghetto your way through

>>15561672
>>15561662
i guess snipping out a tiny notch in a disposable plastic spoon with a nail clipper would probably work too

>>15561663
I don't wanna wait... I know, it's stupid.

>>15561683
retard

>>15561683
then go to a jewelers/watch shop and pay $5 for them to swap it out for you while you also get the tool in the meantime

>>15561579
Why the fuck would you buy a seagull chrono?
Too cheaply made to run well and servicing it would cost you the same as a 7750 service.
And yes, you will have to service it after it stops functioning within the first year.

>>15561691
Of rather swap the movement myself than having it serviced desu.

>>15561690
I don't like the idea of handing my watch to some battery monkey
>oh it's a seiko it's probably 5 bucks
>*scratches the case*

I remember reading a story of an anon handing his vintage omega to some guy who dropped it on the counter or something like that.
No, thanks.

>>15561695
You don't have the tools or knowhow to do this well and you know it

>>15561700
I do though

>>15561697
meanwhile you're trying to do this without a proper tool. You're just as bad

>>15561697
then wait and dont do stupid things like applying lateral force with a flat edge (screwdriver) onto a rounded edge (springbar)
if your angle is even the slightest off you will slip

>>15561703

this model has been known to be faked by an ebay seller, anon posted the screenshot recently. compare to >>15561651, I think your pic may be fake.

r8 my bezel brushing fags
only had 1 grit of sandpaper so I made do

looking for a casual daily, a watch i can wear along some shorts and a trash shirt. still unsure whether leather or silicone is what i want for my strap. around $200 is what im comfortable with, i would prefer if the brand is seiko.not too much clutter on the dial, just nice and simple. thanks

>>15561780
No, accutrons are great. Just make sure you find a watchmaker who can service them.

>>15561712

anyway, it costs $8,141.48 US

>>15561820
>around $200
you would be better served with an orient or vostok but look at the old seiko5s (with the shield logo) and not the new ones.

https://www.jomashop.com/seiko-5-watches.html

>>15561830
>why the fuck do they do that?
to remind you that its (((swiss))) so you better pay the mountainj*w tax

>>15561820
Get an orient Kamasu. It's a fantastic watch for the price, it's an old Japanese brand owned by seiko but still mostly independent. The same specs on a watch with seiko of the dial would cost you $600+

What is a good stainless steel sports/tool watch on a bracelet.

I just want some with its own identity, angular. Everything just seems so chinsey?

>>15561874
i like this, however i do dislike having the day/date there. is there one without?

>>15561889
Sinn U50
Beefy robust tool watch with reasonable, dimensions, only 11.25mm thick

>>15561910
Absolutely fucked on the day date m8. The put that shit on everything these days

>>15561910
>dislike having the day/date
It's a very useful feature, what's your fucking problem?

>>15561923
Not him it looks like shit, ruins the symmetry of the watch face most of the time

>>15561923
>>15561922
date looks fine buy the weekdays on it just ruin it for me since it takes up a larger spot.
how is the rubber band for it? cause from the images it looks rough

>>15561926
>symmetry
autism

>>15561910
japanese are industrious hardworking people so it doesn't occur to them why anyone wouldn't want to know the day/date at any given time

99% of orients have day/date
95% of seikos have day/date

>>15560961
Thanks for the response, Anon.
>Pretty damn expensive for a Seiko
I can tell just by looking at it, it actually looks pristine. I can't find something I dislike about it. Enough about that, do you sell DHs?

why would anyone ever buy a tudor?
are they too poor for buying a rolex?

>>15561935
tudor=taste
rolex=sheep
the really rich dont even touch rolex, its the common denominator of "entry luxury"

why would anyone ever buy a rolex?
are they too stupid to buy a tudor?

How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Status and Love the Shitter

Wasn't there some big announcement for the Seiko Presage or Prospex line that's supposed to replace the EOL SARB033 and SARB035 series? It had a really weird name but I can't quite remember it.

>>15561938
tudor is the poor man's rolex - always has been.
also, the really rich don't care about a watch

>>15561774
>>15561782
>>15561783

I wear my casio royale every day and never had a problem, the watch is 13mm and I think its pretty slim, I don't see how extra 4mm makes the watch a too big watch.

>>15561968
4mm extra height is a lot on a watch my dude. 13 is fine, 15 is quite a lot, 17 is crazy. It’s way too tall for comfort.

>>15561927
>how is the rubber band for it? cause from the images it looks rough
Personally i would buy it on the bracelet and then get a nice aftermarket rubber later on. But honestly it's probably the same ones that seiko uses on their lower priced divers, it's probably fine.

>>15561990
ill probably end up going for the metal band then. whats the difference between the orient kamasu and the orient kanno? also, whats with jomashop and everything being so cheap?

How legit is Urban Jurgensen's brand heritage?

>>15561938
Utter bullshit. Many, many of the rich and famous wear Rolex. It is not like they are ashamed or have to hide the fact they are rich or famous.

>>15562011
Jomashop is what's called a grey market retailer. They sell brand new first quality watches but they don't come with the original manufactures warranty. Basically either the watch brand themselves sell their overstock to places like jomashop or authorized dealers sell their overstock.
The kanno is a similar but slightly different model. I think it's larger and it has mineral glass instead of a sapphire crystal.

>>15561951
Found it: The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series
https://www.seikowatches.com/global-en/products/presage/special/sharp_edged_series/

Looks ok but not quite the killer deal that the old SARB035 was.

>>15562051
You should also mention the fact that Joma are slightly different to other grey market dealers. Because they are so large they offer their own guarantees due to the fact they have their own watch makers working for them to do the repairs and maintenance.

>>15560945
great watch, i think i've seen it somewhere else today ;)

>>15562051
eh im not sure about this watch. its not immediately clicking with me. what other suggestions can you give me in this price rage? doesnt have to be seiko anymore

>>15561951
could also be the tic-tac (snsz)

>>15561398
What's the one on the right with the red star called?

Is there anything similar to this at about th same price.

I like how minimal the case is not a huge fan of the dial id some more industrial in design. A slightly more angular case would be nice maybe.

Up to around £500

i think im honestly going to pull the trigger on this watch, what are your guys' thoughts before i do?

I've become interested in these chunky digitals from casio, casio protrek, casio g-shock, suunto, garmin and whatever else.
What's a model that has features that might conceivably be useful to someone that rarely leaves the city these days?

>>15561935
I like the Tudor BB bronze, so I'll probably get one at some point.
It doesn't have anything to do with the name recognition or price; I just like it. I don't really care what anyone else thinks.

>>15561645
They were selling for $90 on amazon during black friday last year

i should get gold colored one

don't get the point of fake rollies desu, they are kinda boring and more of a status symbol to me so i wouldn't want a fake one that looks like it as being able to spend the money without it hurting is the point is it not

>>15561844
Yea the kreislers are nice. I wish there were modern bracelets that looked like it though.

This is my 1969 omega.

Dad got it for his 21st birthday from his dad. I spent £1k having it restored a couple of years ago. Now it’s mine. I had a daughter instead of a son though. So might keep it instead.

thoughts on the SNE102?

If you want a solar quartz just get a citizen, that thing is gross.

>>15562243
Yeah it’s worth half that. But like I said, sentimental. He wore it to his wedding etc.

>>15562248
ok i dont want it anymore

>>15562195
>>15562222
Thanks chaps.
The rangeman sounds interesting as I get headaches when the barometric pressure hits a certain number. Might be helpful to track this shit from the wrist.

i looked through their site and this one caught my attention. its double what im willing to pay unfortunately. i think its a dress watch too so it might be weird wearing something like this in jeans and a tshirt no? also i have a question, what is an automatic watch?

>>15562327
im about to buy that one soon, no one will care what watch you're wearing in a jeans and tshirt lol

>>15562327
An automatic watch has a rotor that spins as your arm moves so it winds up the mainspring

>>15562274
No, at one point I did have my grandfathers leather jacket. But he was 6” taller than me and my parents got rid of it when I was at university so I never had the chance to get it tailored.
