good tits don't care about dumb clocks

Fucking hell the whole tits with watches thing is a bit cringy, what's the point? Is it like those videos from the 90s where women with big tits shoot semi automatic weapons? I just don't see the appeal, there's no cross over in my enjoyment of the two things, like eating pizza while getting a blowjob, in theory it sounds great but really I'd enjoy them better separately.

Yes, fill your empty void with useless consumer shit. Truly living the american dream of being cattle. Why stop there? GO GET INTO CREDIT CARD DEBT and become a slave to your money lender overlords.

Yeah the polar is the one I see fairly often, rarely see the black, plus the black goes for a bit less on the grey market. Was never big on the current gen, i've tried them on and 42mm is a bit much, 40mm fits better on my wrist

price markup

Using the reputation that they build up with marketing to inflate prices as they please. They know their target customers, they did analysis on their spending behaviour and know to what extent they can hike up prices. They use ignorance of the customer and their choice to remain ignorant.

You can straight up explain every step in the production to a girl and she will fully understand that she is overpaying. But she will just say that she likes how it looks. What she will not say is that she wants to show off the brand because other girls know how much it costs. Only one girl admitted it, but her dad was loaded and bought her all the brand stuff.

What's the watch she's wearing? Looks like one of the new Vostok designs?

First time buying a watch. Recommend something for a low income college student on the cusp of wagecuckery. Have my eye on picrel Casio Enticer men purple. Not a fan of black btw.

Is it possible to buy a proper milled metal bracelet for a 420 case Vostok (pic related), to replace the one it came with? I'm fine with keeping the hollow endlinks. If so, where would I look for this?

What sorta watch do you want? Mechanical? Quartz? Dressy? Casual? I'd say you can't go wrong with an old seiko 5 (flieger, oyster or mini-GS) but you'd get a better answer if you told us your budget and preferences.

>>15629024
Not the guy you're replying to, but I kinda get what you're saying.
However, I got the opposite issue: My money just keeps getting more (cash, bank account, stocks… shit just keeps piling up) and while I'm still quite far from being rich, I can absolutely waste a few hundreds (or even a few k's) on shitters, but I can't really bring myself to do it. Fuck, contemplating a 150€ shitter since weeks, and when I come to a decision, it'll probably be sold out anyways.

>>15629153
Really?
My Strela shitter with the Seagull ST19 seems anorexic, compared to that! (But wears really well, even with a nato, though I got me some premium seatbelt nato, and that's just too thick (and too stiff))

>>15629469
They're a shadow of their former selves to be honest. Though they have a few decent pieces last I checked.

>>15629467
I'd check out the Meranom catalog before making a choice on Vostok. Vostoks overall are incredible pieces for the price.

Bear in mind these things though:

1.

>>15629501
This FUCKING CAPTCHA SYSTEM

ok again:

1. Delivery time will take at least a month with COVID
2. Vostoks come without a quick set date function, but you can cheat it by switching the hour hand from the 12 to the 8 position back and forth. It's a non issue if you wear them daily.
3. The default metal strap is horrendous save for some more expensive Komandirskie and Neptune models. Get a few additional straps, both their silicon and mesh straps are quite a bit good.

>>15629503
Also, the Amphibia crown is wobbly. You might think it's broken but it's a design feature to protect the crown if you bash it.

>>15629505

>>15629428
don't fall for the vostok meme. its likes looking for a nice quality pen but you end up buying a pencil. you can write with both but one is not like the other.

>>15629450
That neptune originated from meranom. It's no a standard vostok model.
Whoever you're buying it from on ebay is probably a scalper and upcharging the fuck out of it.
Neptunes (pre-covid) usually sold out in a day.

>>15629527
It's literally designed that way dumbass.

>>15629542
Not him, but if that's the case, it's a stupid design that makes no sense.
It sounds more like an excuse for shoddy craftsmanship.

>>15629562
It's designed to isolate the movement from any shocks the crown might receive if it gets a hard knock against something.
It's just another Soviet design quirk.

Anyone got any experience with Spinnaker? How good are they? I'm looking for a square-ish watch that isn't panerai-tier priced.

>>15629562
it literally takes more effort to create a "wobbly crown" than a normal fixed one

and fixed crown are the norms even for the cheapest of watches, so its not a cost or manufacturing issue
it is another feature just like the extra wide o ring and 2 piece caseback

>>15629562
>it's a stupid design that makes no sense.
It's much easier for the wobbly crown to latch on to the threads of the case so you have less issues with stripping, it's far more resistant to shock, and because it's decoupled from the actual timekeeping mechanisms, there is much less chance your slavic hamhands will fuck up anything major by jerking the crown around too much.
It's actually a superior technology.

>>15629582
no personal experience but ive heard they are hit or miss
also consider a geckota

>>15629589
So it's cheaply made shit that by chance didn't immediately break? Sounds like shitty craftmanship still.

"The Dalai Lama received his first watch in 1943 from an envoy of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. But it wasn’t just any watch—it was a Patek Philippe pocket watch, reference 658. The particular model is very rare. Only fifteen pieces were ever produced.
In addition to the iconic Patek that started his collection, the Dalai Lama owns fifteen other timepieces. He’s primarily seen wearing a Rolex—either a yellow gold Day-Date or two-tone Datejust."

>Angrily and conflicted buys a watch with no pride colors at all in it, in a defiant stand against "the gays"

Got this Aqua Terra homage/copy for ~50€ off of Aliexpress. Its not bad for a beater watch, has a Seagull 1612 movement (also available with a Miyota 8215). Opinions on what kind of strap would go well with this? Thinking of a navy blue NATO to match the hands, or maybe a black leather strap with blue highlights

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33036897487.html

>>15629160

Anyone got any thoughts on Seiko's SRPE19J1?
Currently trying to decide between it or the SRPB43J1 and I think i'm kinda leaning toward the former due to the metal strap but can't really find any proper reviews of it.

>>15629651
this be my point, me hardy. They made a remake of a groovy 70s model for watch dorks and tried to pull a fast one on the gays. Not only that but the original colors look less pale and more like an actual pride flag.

I removed the crown today then put it back and now it's off. Will kys myself

>>15629758
did you remove the crown when the dates were changing....? ie 9-3 oclock

>>15629758

>The latest collaboration is both a sleek, modern timepiece and a throwback to the era when the Gay Rights Movement adopted artist Gilbert Baker’s Rainbow Flag as its banner. Like a color wheel in which three primary colors (red, blue and yellow) mix to create an array of different shades, the Pride watch is composed of three rotating colored discs. As the time changes and the discs interact, the wearer can look through the crystal and literally see the shades change.

OK, so here it is:

>>15629783
>not putting a neodymium magnet on your wrist and ripping the watches of others right out of the spring bars
ngmi

>>15629772
That's pretty cool! But I hope it's not a quartz. Because the jumping seconds would ruin it.

>>15629781
>but I kinda wanna the great wave thing)
So what do I do?
Can I get the non-wave tuna (~120€, below tariff threshold of 150€ if I get unlucky) and a wave dial (~20€) and mod it myself, or do I hope that the wave tuna (150.46€) falls by 46 cents and get that one?
But the tuna seems to have quite the small dial, but maybe it just looks like that, because the bezel is so huge (as is the whole watch), so do those "for NH35" dials even fit that thing?
And how hard/easy is this mod? I got the tools, but so far I hevent yet gotten to start something. I kinda wanna mod one of my vostoks, but I can't find any dials for them.

>>15629781
I'm torn on that 4:30 date window. I prefer straight up 3 or 4 o'clock date windows. Also I was looking at the Heimdallr black and gold one or orange, but I may go for yellow. I considered Steeldive but the Heimdallr shark is cool.

>>15629800
>A watch is supposed to be non magnetic.
yes but most cases and movements are affected by magnets.

>>15629378
IIRC it can be specced without a date wheel.
I would trade a ghost date to maintain that perfect symmetry though
ugh that 47 l2l with the twisted lugs and female end link bracelet MY FUCKING COCK

>>15629709
Having looked a bit more it seems that it's the exact same watch and the strap's the only difference?
In which case I guess i'll just get the metal strap and replace it with a third-party leather one later if I feel like it. Seems like it's hard to find a good fit metal strap from a third-party while finding good fitting leather ones is much easier?
t. watch noob

watch for this feel?

>>15629809
metal bracelets are often tailored towards the watch to fit flush with the case. it is always advisable to get the bracelet version because you can change it for other types of strap easily but if you want it on its stock bracelet and need to buy the bracelet separately, they make you eat shit and pay retard prices for it.
also the leather bands that seiko uses in their presage models tend to be underwhelming. the leather is too thick and rounded, making it feel cheap and not very comfortable. they also come with a deployant clasp and deployant claps suck balls because they add tremendous bulk to the wrist. so even if you purchased the leather strap version, you would probably end up changing it anyway.

>>15629803
>damn that's somehow really cheesy and cool at the same time and I want it
Yeah, that's the problem…
so getting the normal one and the dial seems like the more sensible option (so I can always go the non-cheesy route), but I'd hate fucking up the watch or buying a non-fitting dial.

all the older seiko5s with the shield logoes are gone. Now its just backstock and once sellers are out they are gone. Seiko has stopped making them already.

You stupid fucking plebbit niggers acting like a shitty low end mechanical movement is anything special because of le sweep

>>15629758
The date wheel alignment is determined by a date wheel jumper, shouldn't be affected by the stem removal. Can be affected by the quickset and date change gears, but only until it changes again. Maybe you just never noticed it before?

>>15629758
You fucking spastic

>>15629758
will kill yourself myself????

>>15629847
I appreciate a mechanical tick/sweep and the mechanics behind it, but I'm in agreement, quartz watches are utilitarian and great. People treating mechanical movements as the end-all are retarded.

>>15629868

>>15629772
>sterile dial
what is this?

>>15629870
Whatever floats your boat, but unless you can service a movement yourself you'll need to rely on civilization regardless. Watch batteries are small, cheap, last a long time and are easy to replace.

>>15629832
didn't they put worse movements and water resistance but raise the price, also?

>>15629870
Mechanical need oil, they wear ''a lot'', there are quartz watches that have 10 year batteries and don't really need any maintenance, and then there iare solar powered watches. If ypu want to live off the grid, quartz is the way, no need to repair, shock resistant, magnetic resistant, water resistant and for the price of one cheap mechanical watch you can have two or three cheap and reliable quartz watches.

no, the movement is better. 7S26 became 4R36(aka NH36). Hacking and winding added.
water resistance depends on model, most are better, some are a bad downgrade like from SKX.
the kicker is the price which got increased a lot

>>15629891
Citizen eco drives are nice,but if you are doing rough stuff >>15629894 casio watches can be solar too, the mudman can look like a meme, but its a tool watch.

He's talking about the early Omega co-axials based on ETA movements that were notoriously bad unless serviced with a very precise amount of oil etc.
The Daniels design that Smith uses has none of those problems because it's not made to a budget.

Picrel is 42mm. It does look a little feminine, but in an elegan, modern type of way that you could easily pull off unless you're a complete numale.

these little fuckers are 34mm but 70 bucks for each, looks good tho

>>15630056
you could probably get actual 34mm vintage quartz watches for half that much
if you're getting a swatch it's pointless unless you embrace the goofiness all the way

>>15628714

Do you guys think 37mm is too small? I wish it was a bit bigger but overall this new Seiko I got is very beautiful!

>>15630055
meh not a fan of those two giant watches , why the fuck are watches all above 40mm nowadays

>>15630060
not too small at all, very classy on your wrist. fuck big watches

>>15630060
Nah, it looks perfectly fine and I’m far from being one of those wristlets who spazz out over anything 38+

>>15630059
I guess you do have a point, I love the design but $70 seems absurd.

>>15630060
Looks good, every non tool watch should be like that, only covering up to 70% of wrists surface.

>>15630073
yeah they look nice but that's a very generic watch for 70 bucks. you can get poo in loo handwinders that look similar, for 10 bucks. you can get a casio that looks like that for 15.
if you want to get swatch you should go for the silly, out of the ordinary designs otherwise you're just paying to have the word "swiss" on your arm

The British Military issued CWC G10 service watches have a battery hatch for ease of changing batteries without affecting water resistance: https://www.cwcwatch.com/collections/general-service-watches/products/cwc-g10-issue-watch-no-date-with-battery-hatch
Potential issues are the acrylic crystal and the 5 bar water resistance. The ETA 955.102 is a fine movement for a quartz but I wouldn't expect it to last more than 15-20 years. To be honest I wouldn't expect a man all alone in the woods to last much longer than that.

>>15630083
220 euros for a quartz....

What are your hopes for the future of watchmaking?
My dad gave me his old shitty Seiko, I'd sell it but it's only worth $2k, what a poorfag he must've been.

>>15630113

Keep in mind it's completely in house too

what
it's just a mini case back, it still threads in and as a gasket

>>15630121
that brand has a ton of nice looking watches

>>15630137
What are your hopes? I think in terms of small issues it would be nice if 100m WR and 70 hour PR were standard in automatics and that European and Japanese manufacturers took note of what the Chinese like San Martin deliver in terms of value for money (I know they benefit from vopying designs etc. but still). I also hope more manufacturers make watches that perfectly align with my specific needs and tastes at a reasonable price.

>>15630137
>Greetings from the distant future
I thought you were joking.
Then I noticed the background. Holy shit, you are from the future!

>>15629400
Dress watches seem okay for me. Since it's my first watch and I'm not earning yet I'm not looking for a huge investment so 100$ at max. If a rubber strap is available it would be great but whatever. Movement doesn't matter much to me so quartz works fine. Obviously don't wanna go smart or hybrid as I hate notifications.
>>15629398

Amazon only has black and a gaudy bright red. The price point is good though. But not a fan sadly.

>>15630137
>What are your hopes for the future of watchmaking?
Reissues keeping the old sizes, is not that hard keeping a 33-36mm watch and not embiggening it to the 40-42mm range.

That, and luxury brands making non gaudy and handiwind utilitarian looking medium-small watches focusing mostly in water resistance, lume and movements, not focusing on polishing and shiny stuff.

want to get smart watch for gps hiking and calories etc

ive seen garmin, fossil and suunto. do you like any of these

do watches that dont have batteries run forever ?

>>15630060

>>15630206
No. Things wear out, problems will arise.
The advantage of a quartz watch is that changing the battery costs almost nothing.
Fixing a mechanical, on the ohter hand, can be very expensive.

>>15630206
The lubricant oil will dry out, gears parts will wear but there are watches that are still running after 50 years even if they are not as accurate as they were when new.

>>15630206
recently some cunt wripped off my shitty 80 euro Olympic from my wrist during a "not real drunk fight" and i remembered I had my automatic Orient that I bought in 2015. Just had to wiggle it a few seconds and it was running as new.

>>15630214
I literally also have an automatic Orient that I purchased in 2015, but that argument doesn't really hold.
You're just saying that watch is still working after 5 years. So would a quartz watch.

>>15629534
Define Watches is an AD for several German brands in Kangaroo land, Mühle Glashütte (29er, Terranaut, Terrasport II), Sinn (556), Hanhart (Pioneer One) all have some nice watches in that range: https://www.definewatches.com.au/shop/?min_price=1000&max_price=2000

Seiko snkl line

Orient tristars. Funky. Retro.

Cadisen 1032. Very high value Aliexpress QC dice roll.

ok, real curve ball here. Go get a vintage HMT Janata off ebay for like $15. You'll have something really different and not seen everyday and its an adventurous choice.

>>15630159
That's true but the G10 has the gasket integrated into the hatch door, making it unlikely for the end-user to fuck it up. Aging can still be an issue but the gasket should last for as long as the movement does (almost all gasket issues are caused by material defects or incorrect installation, watch repairers insist on changing them at every battery change to prevent potential guarantee issues).

>>15630267
>G10 has the gasket integrated into the hatch door, making it unlikely for the end-user to fuck it up
That's actually the worst possible way to install a seal
100% it will stretch and shear from screwing in.
Even on a cheapass watch casio does this correctly by having the seal sit in the case and not around the case back. based duro
In your pic you can already see it starting to warp. Fucking useless.

>>15630160
>that brand has a ton of nice looking watches
Yeah I wish a real brand had military-looking watches like that.

>>15630267
>watch repairers insist on changing them at every battery change to prevent potential guarantee issues).
unironically grease your gasket and it will never dry out or rot

>>15630277
>>15630272
>>15630267
why cant all watches just copy the vostok system
this is by far the most ingenious, idiot proof, tool friendly and durable system ive seen on any watch. No tiny skinny ass o-rings, no stretching, no warping

>>15630274
for me, it's the MVMT field collection

>>15630292
It's easily the best system ever made. I would trust a BOCTOK over any "high end" case for water resistance long term use

>>15630299
looks like shit, get a BOLDR

>>15629919
When is it arriving anon? IMO you made a fantastic choice, modern reissues of vintage divers can easily be the only watch you ever own

what is the name of these two gears and why do they look so weird? I believe they're a part of the automatic movement...
thanks for any info...

>>15629411
Yeah, it looks not too thick, just right. Dial is good too. Seatbelt nato is great, bummer that it didn't fit. Maybe make it a single pass nato by cutting off the second band, the watch keeper. When it's a tight fit, watch won't slide around without the keeper.

>>15630354
Looks like end of November
I agree, if this were omega they'd shove a cuck-axial in it and charge you 7k.
This probably end game for me, I don't really see the point in going any higher in tiers than this

>>15630354
Is that your seamenmaster? Did you buy it before prices exploded?

>>15630292
Because it would mean they have to invest into producing these thicker gaskets, different cases and casebacks. As long as the thin oring is doing it's job, they won't change that.
Also you need more space, with bigger movements, the watchcase would get even bigger. At least that's what it looks like from the foto, gasket takes like 2-4 mm of space.

>>15630391
That's funny, it's still roughly the same size and thickness as the seiko dive watches

>>15630239
Thanks a lot anon. I wishlisted a few of these will wait for a sale soon. My grandfather left us an HMT he bought himself 50 years ago but it kinda doesn't suit me and I am a brainlet when it comes to watches anyway. Maybe I'll post it someday on one of these threads. Never realised these little things are so expensive especially when they don't really serve any function in the digital age.

alright, could you guys list some vintage japanese watches? so for example, theres vintage train watches from JDM which is by citizen. i want to expand my search list for some vintage jap watches

Is it ture that the new Rolex Submariner now has an inferior crown seal than before? Sucks if true.

>>15630354
That Omega looks like utter shit next to the Yema, wow.

>>15630354
>yema without the retarded crown lock
reeeEEEEeeeeEEEeeeEEEeee

>>15630028
I believe they pretty much fixed the issue by reducing the beat rate and a couple of other small changes on the cal. 2500.
The newer cal. 8500 was built from scratch as a co-axial so is also fine. They use the 8500 in place of the 2500 now too.

>>15629422
What model number? I've wanted an ecodrive without a seconds hand.

>>15630411
It's all seiko, citizen, and orient for vintage. Seiko has the most information by far

>>15629406
But you also make yourself appreciate your purchase by dragging the decision out for longer. Also, you know yourself and maybe buying stuff on an impuls lead to unsatisfaction later so you learned that lession and subconsciously rewired your brain. I think it's good, not stingy, just sensible with money. And a sold out shitter only means the same shitter will be on ebay for cheaper soon.

>>15629646
