>>15651474
you can find things like seiko snk, orient flights, sanmartin pilots and other misc. microbrand offerings for >$200

but the hammy is not a bad choice, you can probably find them on jomashop or whatever for like $300 if you dig hard enough.

First for g-shock toughness

Thanks for the advice.
I was thinking of getting either an Orient Star SEL09004W0 (~400€) or a Seiko Presage SSA413J1 (~500€).
Are they worth the price?
Are Japanese automatics precise/reliable? Will they fit a wristlet?

>>15651504
yeah I'm finding the autos hover in that high $300s range when they come with a leather strap. I don't mind getting one without a stainless bracelet so long as the aftermarket options aren't complete shit like seiko bracelets. that's why I'm kinda straying away from an SNK809 or something like that, folded links that'll rip my hairs off sound like cancer and I'd feel retarded spending $120 or $150 on a nice stainless bracelet for it, at that point why not just get a real swiss watch

Speaking of g-shock what were they thinking with reviving this old model?
Does anyone want this thing?
G-Shock AW-500 series

>>15651519
Between the two exact models I'd take the orient star. They are generally very reliable. The orient star movements are less studied, with only their simpler winding mechanism being of note. Anecdotally some people with both orient and seiko watches say that orient is a bit more accurate.

>>15651499
It's a Hugo Boss ofc. It says so right there.

>>15651551
Both are considered reliable, is what I meant.

YEMA IS THE FUTURE

>>15651504
actually really digging the san martin pilots. dial C looks pretty nice

>>15651576
The future is yema?

>>15651579
Helmdallr do a flieger take too, you should check it out, I quite like them

>>15651576
I don’t like you, Yema shill. I bought the Superman Maxi-dial diver and returned it. The fit and finish wasn’t all that impressive.

>>15651579
I'm tempted by the bronze version

I see overall good things said about the hamilton field watch but what about other brands that make similar looking ones? Is there a comparison or are their movements lower tier?

>>15651642
Which hamilton and which other brands? Hamilton uses several different variations of the same movement.

I think ive seen a version that seiko citizen and timex makes. Looks pretty identical to this but im guessing it has a less expensive movement?

>>15651660
>seiko
good
>citizen
good, also likely quartz
>timex expedition
dont

>>15651663
if the movement is "better" id pay for the Hamilton, how do they compare to seiko and citizen?

Is Invicta a quality brand? My Uncle gave me on as a gift for my birthday recently since he knows I have a good amount of watches, so I'm curious.

Why do some brands no use AR on their sapphire? I would literally rather a mineral crystal over no AR sapphire because of how fucking cloudy looking the latter is.

Casioak is the sexiest gshock

>>15651667
newer hamiltons have that h10 or w/e the fuck it's called and it's basically a modified ETA 2832 with lowered beatrate for extra power reserve, which is gay. lowering the beat rate is gay and it would be better to have 38 hours reserve and 28k vibrations beatrate than 80 hours and 21k, which is what the h10(or w/e) offers.
it's not like seiko's any better, with the same beatrate but less power reserve in their ubiquitous 4R series movements but seiko's movements have one additional benefit in that they are a bit more robust whereas ETAs don't like being handwound. that said, ETA 2832s are a proven and extremely reliable movement.
those are the key differences really.
people say the 6R movement on slightly higher end seikos is shitty but I can't remember why it's shitty.

>>15651667
The Hamilton uses a 2824-2 modified to a lower rate to conserve energy for a longer power reserve. The swatch group renames the same movement as the h10 in a bunch of watches of different brands

>>15651689
i always thought the designs are clunky

>>15651690
under the water the is no clouds, why would a diver watch should have ar coating?

>>15651689

>>15651689
> he knows a good amount of watches
> gave you an Invicta
Either this is a troll post or your Uncle knows fuck all about watches.

>>15651667
ETA is perceived as "higher grade" than entry seikos or 8xxxx miyotas, mainly due to their swiss pedigree/higher bph. I dont know enough to tell you more about the minor details, maybe some guy with a better technical knowledge can fill you in. But there is nothing wrong at all with a 4r35/nh35 or whatever, it is very widely used for a reason-- reliable, accurate and dependable.

the real comparison vs an ETA2824 would be citizen's Miyota 9015, same beat rate.

mechanicals VS quartz is up to personal preference.
citizen makes good quartz.
timex quartz is bottom bin and their non chrono 3 handers also tick very loudly.

>>15651720
Thanks for the info. I'm trying to get my dollar to pay for more watch than more brand if possible.

>>15651720
>>15651667
and of course, handwinding and hacking, the cheaper movements from seiko/citizen-miyota dont have those, you have to look up what the movement is.

hacking is whatever, you can pseudo "hack" a cheap movement by turning the crown the other way when setting the time, it will make the seconds hand stop for a while.

but handwinding is really useful to have. A pure automatic can get really annoying.

>>15651720
the problem is that the h10 movement has the same bph as seikoshitter movements, just higher power reserve. granted it's 2x as high but at the cost of beatrate, which is a shit tradeoff because people would rather have high beatrate and jack their watch off a couple minutes a day than have low beatrate and 9000 hours of reserve.

>>15651730
how out of date are you? everything basically has hacking and handwinding now, the 7s26 is not the standard anymore. and even if he wanted some old seiko5 that still uses that shit he could simply swap the movement out to a 4R for 40 bucks sourced

>>15651694
>people say the 6R movement on slightly higher end seikos is shitty but I can't remember why it's shitty
It's a modified 7s26 with hacking and handwinding added in a very shitty way. Also they are notorious for having reliability issues.

>>15651731
i think? you can still find hamiltons with the old ETA movement and not the newer h-10 nonsense, not sure

>>15651735
old seiko5s with the 7s26 only got phased out this year and you can still find tons of them online from various vendors. Jomashop has like 3 fucking pages of them.
O. tristars and other budget orients with non hacking/handwind are still available.
cheap miyotas with the forementioned are still used in various places.

it is definately needed to point this out to a person new to watches, lest he is looking at older models
also,
>telling someone whos new to watches to "lol, just swap out the movement, ezpz!!11"

>>15651715
No no, he knows I have watches, and got me one since he wanted to get me a present, which I was surprised to even get anything from him.

>>15651689
invicta literally has older heritage than rolex.

>>15651488
why would anyone spend over £150 on a watch?

>>15651768
not everyone is poor.

>>15651768
why buy fast car lol

>>15651692
that's a nice watch

should i buy this supreme shirt with watches on it for $300?

>>15651768
to have some cool shit on my wrist, poorfag

>>15651772
I'm not poor, in fact I'd say there's a good chance I'm a fair bit richer than you

>>15651785
what a time and place to tell people that

>>15651768
because you only live once and money is supposed to make you happ(ier)

of course a watch is not important to "live". But we can all treat ourselves once in a while. Its a better purchase than sneakers or whatever.

>>15651768

Why would anyone spend more than £15 on a picture when you can get them from ikea

>>15651785
I can guarantee that you are not but that is beside the point. Different people like different things. For some its trainers, or clothes or some kind of hobby, for others its watches. If you think spending £150 on a watch is a lot of money then you are in the wrong thread.

>>15651690
A)cost
B)cost
C)cost
D)there are no clouds in bikini bottom.

also, i would take acrylic over mineral crystal.

>>15651765
Meh, a gift's a gift. They are not bad watches in the technical sense, but their design tend to be gaudy and a tad too big.

>>15651570
phuck me dead, that shitter looks nice

>>15651765
that is possibly one of the least ugly non-homage invictas ive seen, so at least he got you one thats kind of wearable.

they are an accquired taste.

>>15651846
what the fuck

>>15651846
wow

>>15651867
>>15651878
most of their original designs are giant monstrosities like these, giant watches above 45mm, in all sorts of garish hues and details.

but, invicta actually has a strong fan following, believe it or not. There are collectors with dozens of such watches.

>>15651711
The pro divers are good for newbies

>continues to mog your G-Shock

Embrace the future of timekeeping. Embrace smart watches.

>>15651891
Oh, no, I know
I just didnt expect the fucking Joqauir

>>15651907
they have a contract with MARVEL so there are all sorts of marvel-invicta watches with all the different characters that get sold out very quickly by marvel fans. Some are halfway decent looking for what they are.

>>15651905
>dies in a week without charging

>>15651917
I would rather use a Mickey Mouse watch and it would actually get compliments.

>>15651905
That's a smartphone's fucktarded little brother pretending to be a wristwatch. It's even putting up an image of a watch dial, though it looks nothing like a watch from an angle.

oh no no no no

WHEEZE

Best invicta comjng through. Main watch with a second watch you cant read whilst wearing it?

Why patek does it everyone creams themselves when invicta does it everyone laughs

>>15651960
LOOKIT THIS DOOD
TUNA CAN LOOKIN ASS

>>15651694
I've been thinking of buying a hamilton field watch, what's so bad about the lower beat rate other than the second hand being janky? Does it affect reliability?

>>15651968
a lower beat rate is in general better for longevity and wear and tear. Thus you can even say it is more reliable in the long run.
but it affects the SMOOTHNESS of the seconds hand and watch autists cant have that.

heres a vid comparing all of them.
https://youtu.be/NgkoDI1suuY

>>15651589
You brought a watch, didn't like it and returned it, what's the problem here? That's how most people do things here.

>>15651981
Good vid, thank you anon. A nicer looking seiko 5 replacement with more power reserve and hand winding was what I was looking for so it seems like that's what I'll get.

>>15651968
I think the faster the balance wheel isolates the more stable it is from forces acting on it. Like a gyroscope helpibg keep it more steady but i may be chatting shit. Another anon can fact check me

>>15651813
BASED
thiccc domed acrylic > AR sapphire > dogshot smeared on your dial > mineral crystal > cloudy sapphire.

OceANUS

Oh fuck me, my dick says yes but I don't feel like wasting 1800 bucks on a watch... yet.

The tone of the dial and bezel is nothing short of amazing.

>>15652034
I like Formex's engineering and their designs keep getting better, but their name seriously makes them sound like a Mexican construction company

For me, this should be the standard wristwatch size.
My wrists are 6.5in at most.

To get this look I gotta go for 36mm "ladies" watches right? Like a Tudor Black Bay 36mm alternative for ~500€?

>>15652034
why is time in watch renders always set to 10:10 or around it
also best gshock is pic related

>>15652049
cause the name of the watch is at 12 and the date is at 3

>>15652049
Its meant to be a smile.

>>15652049
The "ten after ten" face looks like a smile, it can cause positive vibes.

>>15651692
How tough are the straps on gshocks?

>>15652069
They are plastic.
They are pretty supple and comfortable for plastic but invariably exposure to sweat and the elements will cause them to become brittle and break off. This can vary from a time span of 1 year to 3 years, but they will all fail sooner rather than later if you are wearing them every day and using them hard as they are meant to be worn.

>>15652023
They look alright, but why would I get one over a MR-G gshock?

>>15652069
the straps are the 1st thing to fail if anything seriously bad happens
you do not want straps that are unbreakable, for safety reasons.

>>15652097
MR. G sounds gay as fuck

>>15652044
You should go for 34mm for this look.

>>15652111
MRG sounding more gay than OceANUS, you smoking crack son?

>>15652146
its not gay to stick things up your bum, ever heard of PEGGING?

>>15652146
The ocean is the least gay thing there is. It conjures up images of manly sailors.

>>15652160
oh no...

>>15652160
gaylords, seamen.,..

>>15652162
>>15652165
its not gay, its called helping a buddy out.

What is the most appropriate style of watch to have a bronze case? Divers right? I'm feeling myself get a thing for - P A T I N A - recently.

Sinn flieger chrono, with or without the bezel?

Sup /wt/, been looking at Phoibos for a cheap dive style watch since everyone on youtube jizzes all over them. Are these worth two to three hundo despite the basic seiko movement, since they seem to make up for it elsewhere?

>>15652179
a bronze flieger seems very compelling to me
anyway if you get a diver, remember to turn the bezel routinely because when the case and bezel are bronze they can rust together and then your bezel is just stuck

>>15652130
Yes, that picture is a 36mm explorer on a probably 7,5-8 inch wrist.

>>15652044
Do you mind military field watches?, if not, check MWC and CWC, they have small models that are pretty short on lug to lug, which is what you want, the shortest lug to lug possible and they are under 300eur chrono and mechanical. Then, since I see you use euros, at poltjot24 there is a watch, gagarin retro, 33mm handwind russian movement, at around 300eur, homage from the first watch in space.

>>15652188
anything south of $500 is usual for a NH35 microshitter. Only AE brands go lower. You will not find much better prices for any non-china microbrands.

>>15651570
>>15651551
squinty eyed japs are too autistic to make a proper, huate horology movement.
Best they can do is shove a quartz crystal in everything and make it fucking impossible to service.
There's a very specific reason why grand soiko will never reach the likes of Patek, JLC, and Cartier. They're dogshit for coping low middle class shitters. Simple as.

>>15651576
NOOOOO ANON
DONT YOU KNOW THE FISH OILS IN THE SCALES WILL CAUSE MICROCRACKS IN THE SEAL???
NOW THE NEXT TIME YOU WASH YOUR HANDS THE DYNAMIC PRESSURE OF THE ADDITIVE INDIVIDUAL DROPLETS WILL GO THROUGH THE SCALE-INDUCED CRACKS AND RUIN YOUR WATCH!!!!!

>>15651692
Saw an autistic looking asian manlet wearing one on the 6 train the other day. Made his dainty little wrists look pathetic.

>>15651731
It's artificial segmentation by the swiss kikes at swatch.
You can't have a tissot shitter with a technically better movement than the latest OMEGA KEK-AXIAL(tm) MAN ON URANUS or the new SEMENMASTER 4500M

Does anybody give a shit about the haute horology brands? Nobody even knows what that shit is and you spend 25k on a calatrava when you could have got some 1k shitter that would be basically the same thing. If you are going to spend money on a watch just buy rolex.

My wrist is only 6.5 inches in circumference.
Is there hope for me?

>>15652258
>Does anybody give a shit about the haute horology brands? Nobody even knows what that shit is and you spend 25k on a calatrava when you could have got some 1k shitter that would be basically the same thing.

>>15652233
What's wrong with quartz?
Also Cartier isn't known for their movements.

>>15652263
>he thinks hh means anything these days
lmao ok gramps

>>15652266
>lmao ok gramps

Literal retarded rappers and basketball players are getting gifted haute horology watches. The brands are fighting each other begging them to take them and then get them iced out with a pound of diamonds.
HH is trash now.

>>15652263

You know I'm right. Patek has the most boring offerings possible. At least JLC has the reverso which is cool. If it's not grand complications you are buying an incredibly overpriced three hand dress watch that may as well be a fucking orient bambino.

I can't find a watch with gold i like. I just want some highlights, trim, just a bit to make it not look loud.

>>15652276

Address the argument or you are just shitposting.

lol this buttmad fag worshipping HH brands he will never even own and trying to make it seem like anyone mocking his sacred cows is some onions faggot
watchfags are the most ridiculous, retarded looking people I have ever seen so saying you have shit taste because you don't care about patek phillippe and their overpriced bullshit watches is hilarious

Sounds like you're getting a little heated there buddy. Maybe a MUD bath would help hmmm?

should i spend all my money on a 2tone rolex sub i will never wear

>>15652302
Lets not be hyperbolic, most people here would be pretty happy getting a JLC

>>15652301
he has collection of pictures of basedboys, take a wild guess

is there a reason NOT to get a watch with a display-back when there is a choice?

>>15652309
Yes but what will you wear while that's in the safe?

>>15652343
Yes it will be trimmer and more water resistant

>>15652343
Um, why would I NOT want a rolex, retard???

>>15652343
If you want a watch with a thinner case you'd get one without the display back

>>15652343
>omeega

>>15652343
Is the caseback interesting?,because if it is caseback>cristal

>>15652343
If you find the movement boring, get the caseback so that the watch has a slimmer profile. Some people might not care about the omega on the top left, but it would be a shame to cover up the other 3.

>>15652353
less than 1% of casebacks are more interesting than the movement.
for example: JLC reversos with decorated backs, limited release casebacks, and nothing else.

>>15651488
>1488

Is 36mm too small for a 7" wrist?

Honestly if your wrist is smaller than 7.5in you should just transition already.

>>15652372
no

>>15652363
and most movements are less interesting than the uninteresting casebacks even if they are polished.

Should I buy a vintage omega?

since anon was teaching me about lume a few threads back, I thought I'd do a lume battle between my old timex weekender and my new citizen chandler. I was saying that the citizen didn't seem to have better lume than the timex, so I decided to put them head to head and see exactly what was what.
here are the two watches for reference.
the weekender lists for like $45 I think but I paid $25 on ebay new in box.
the Chandler is $130 on jomashop and $165 on Amazon (but I paid $70 because prime day.)

>>15652395

Why would anyone spend more than £10 on a pair of jeans?

>>15652397
no

>>15652428
I know this is a meme but I bought my first pair of $200 jeans and now I can't go back. it's noticeable.
I also have a $5k watch

>>15651846
Did you buy the watch because you want to be a member of the Neon Gang in Batman Forever 25 years ago? https://youtu.be/YGQZwZadSfI?t=13

>>15652399
I held my wrist up to the sun for a bit more than one minute.
I then went directly to a darkened room and quickly took this pic.

the citizen is definitely better, but it isn't particularly more intense. the baby blue is just a lighter color, so it's going to be brighter than a medium green. but the light intensity from both seemed reasonably equivalent.
more importantly, the lume is implemented better on the citizen. the lumed surfaces on the hands are much bigger than the timex, and there's a lot of lume on the dial of the citizen whereas the timex only has lumed hands. so, the citizen is lit up more due to coverage, but importantly, it contrasts sharply against the black dial whereas the weekender is less contrasty.
so, while the citizen lume is probably slightly better, it wins the battle due to implementation.

>>15652023
Only nice looking Oceanus is the dark blue. I get more comments on that watch than any of the others I own.

>>15651846

>>15652438
I then surfed the internet for an hour in my not-very-bright apartment, went to the same place, and took another pic.
the citizen's contrasting dial really helps significantly now. neither lume is very impressive at this point. even with the aforementioned advantages favoring the citizen, I'd still say the citizen's lume is probably still very slightly better in-and-of-itself.
is it $100+ better? not really. but anon was telling me that even modern expensive brands have lume that doesn't outperform budget models. so if that's true, maybe it doesn't matter anyhow.

How long is a lume meant to last? I run a UV flashlight over my watches for a couple of seconds, and the lume barely lasts for a minute or so.

>>15652564
It's supposed to last at full brightness for a few minutes and then it'll start going from 80% brightness to 30% or less within half an hour.
But a residual low level of lume should last throughout the entire night so when you wake up at 5 AM you should still be able to tell the time by the faint glow, which will be amplified due to your eyes being dilated from the darkness.
It should not completely go out.

>>15652564
A couple seconds with a flashlight isn't going to do much of anything.

>>15652549
tristars are 37

>>15652549
tristars are 37. O.star classics are 38.

Why does nobody make silk watch straps?

>>15652859
Someone has to

>>15651519
Don't buy Orient star. I have blue version sel09003d0, it broke after few months. Also the rotor is loud and build quality is meh. I regret purchasing it.
Consider seiko presage, its alot better

>>15652859
And only two of them are halfway decent

Sup anons. I just ordered a Casio. First time watch buyer. Thoughts?

>>15651754
And 4R is a downgrade of 6R, with a normal mainspring instead of proprietary alloy, but people praise 4R and shit on 6R. 6R15 (the basic, 21600 bph model which is the only one anyone ever speaks of anyway) probably had some problems with the balance in the start but it seems like those have been sorted out.

>>15652908
looks nice.
just be warned the bracelet probably won't fit you and since it's metal you will need to go to a store and get it fitted. I didn't realize that when I bought my first watch

Fuck. Thanks man my retarded ass probably would have worn it just like that anyway even if it was too loose or tight. I also bought picrel as a cheap throwaway watch just to try out different styles.

>>15652397
They are very nice if you like the look, if you can find one around 500-800 in good condition, and always assume at least an additional 200 for a watchmaker to service it. Also be very wary of fakes

The other alternatives at that pricepoint are not that amazing if you don't wanna cough up half a k more for a Sinn or Nomos. Maybe Longines' vintage line if they are on discount, but they don't go below 1.2k

That's where you're wrong, I'm a solicitor and you're probably a NEET

which one should i get?

- White sinn 104 for $1250
- Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Blue ($1275)
- Oris Big Crown Pointer Date D.26 Green Limited Edition ($1500)

Sinn is much more durable, can swim in it, but at 41 is a bit big. Both Oris are 40mm, less versatile, but that pointer date though.

>>15653211
Soliciting minors doesn't make you a solicitor.

>>15653225
Sinn is the better watch per dollar and is more versatile, but the Orises look great, especially the blue.

I don't think you can go wrong with either, but if you feel like the Sinn is too big (47mm lug to lug), go for the Oris.

When are they going to make a sinn 104 with gmt

help me I'm retarded and need to spend $1000-$2000 on a watch to avoid depression

What's the weirdest, most outlandish shit in this price range?

>>15653302
Probably some Seagull meme double tourbillon or whatever

How much should I pay for a leather strap and where should/can I get them?

>>15653313
Spiedel, Hadley Roma, Hirsch, Fluco, RIOS1931.

There are many different types of leather depending on the animal used. Croc or aligator or other exotic animal skin is fancier and dressier while cow or calf is more casual.

blue is such a hard watch colour to work with fashionwise, there is a reason they have locked the green behind a price increase

>>15653380
Because they are signalling their wealth they don't love watches.
It's the same with cars etc .

A sign doesn't do it's job if only a couple of people can read it properly

>>15653447
Green is even harder than blue

>>15653447
>blue is such a hard watch colour to work with fashionwise
>what colour are jeans and denim jackets

>>15653484
this is bait

>>15653486
blue is the most popular colour other than white and black (both of which arent technically colours anyway)

blue jeans has been a classic fashion staple for decades

>>15653447
>blue is such a hard watch colour to work with fashionwise
huh? blue it literally the most popular color choice for watches atm and goes with almost anything.

>>15653495
Demin jacket is pure baitery though.

>>15653503
?
theres literally nothing wrong with a classic denim jacket, provided you look the part

Got this watch as a Bday gift from my sister 3 months ago
While I own several automatic watches (skx007, Hamilton Khaki, Pogue Silver Dial) this guy hasnt left my wrist since then.

For 50€ its an absolute banger

>>15653515
It looks kind of cool. Like some race car instrument.

Oris is a bullshit brand for poorfags, Sinn at least has some value if you want a "German watch" for whatever reason. This one's pretty ugly though.

>1.5k watch is poorfag tier

Post your Lange or shut the fuck up.

>>15653447
When it comes to suits blue and grey are the most commonly used colors

>>15653549
1.5k is less than 2 weeks salary for most people as long as you don't live in a shithole country. That is a low tier / entry level for a mechanical watch.

>>15653548
>The entry level luxury segment is one of the most fiercely competitive segments in the current watch market.
Imagine having to settle for that lmfao . . .

>>15653549
It's one of those fags that hasn't left his parent's house yet, he'll learn when they keel over 30 years later.

>>15653560
What do you mean?

>>15653556
I live in one of the most developed counties in the world (Netherlands), 1.5k isn't low tier.

>>15653556
2 weeks salary without considering anything like food, rent, or utilities
to buy a 1.5k watch the average person would have to save up for a couple months, unless they lived with their parents and had no other responsibilities
the truth is that paying over 100 dollars for a watch is a luxury, 99% of people would agree. watchfags are a delusional minority living in a very, very small bubble.

>>15653580
Anon would know this if he didn't live with his parents.

wut u getting

>>15653638
thanks, im getting the seiko SNJ025

>>15652908
Looks great. Make sure it's not too big on your wrist, lugs should not overhang over the wrist too much. Otherwise get the ladies version. In reality 36-38mm was a mans size in former times. Only now we are getting these oversized watches. But even on a big wrist, a big watch will look worse than a bit smaller watch. Try a leather strap too, super comfy.
>>15652961
>you will need to go to a store and get it fitted

styling wise a bit loud, but if you like why not?

>>15653522
>wear it on the loose position
>wrap a piece of fat cotton strand around band

You can use anything, shoelaces work too. I wear one of my watches like this, strand is like a coushin that ads thickness and keeps it secured but does not irritate me, due to material softness. I even used white cotton on a black strap, hardly noticeable on the inside of my wrist.
Knot the ends so they don't fray and tuck the ends under the wraps.

I have this bump on my wrist and it's a bit painful, what is the cause? It's also why my forearms are skinny, I can't do the wrist exercises.

perpetual calendar with clean dial?

What do people think of these Zalsach watches?

inflammation? tendonitis? do you type a lot (in a bad position) or bend your wrist a lot?

i am an artist and I had tendonitis of the thumb, from years of work (basically gripping my pens for too long). It got quite swollen and painful. It went away after taking a break.

You're right, they're almost identical but a quarter the price. inb4 awful

>>15653736
get a Panerai and cover that bump,it's so wide the lugs won't overhang and if you have long sleeves nobody won't notice the trick.

>>15653548
If they put this is the pointer date I'll finally buy one.

>>15653777
the eone case is made of titanium, which isnt magentic, thats why the magnets + ball bearings work
these Zalsach watches say they have "stainless steel components", but since stainless steel is magnetic im not sure how it would work
I suspect that the case is not stainless but some sort of plated base metal alloy/plastic.

>>15653793
awful

>>15653805
Get some taste.

If I am poor and the Explorer II 216570 haunts my dreams what can I do ?

I know Chris ward make a GMT which has the explorer 2 vibes which is a rip off i know without being a homage, but the dial is black

basically Sexy white dialled sports watches. What are my options

Anyone know about 1/100th minute stopwatches? I just saw the same model as pic related in a charity shop and was fairly intrigued, nice blued hands as well. But for £45 a bit too expensive for something I have no use for apart from liking it as an object.

>>15653807
It is an awful watch

>>15653903
You have to get a third or fourth job and or second and third credit card and haggle like a bitch so the dealer doesn't give you a third or fourth asshole.

>>15653903
It's quartz, but good quartz, kinda expensive but its a GS version of the explorer.

Just bought pic related for 30€. How did I do lads?

>>15653953
looks russian

>>15653953
what model is this?

>>15653973

thats pretty nice to get it for only 30
its not a indian seller right

>>15653980
Nope, I bought it from a man who bought it new sometime in the 90's, a face to face meeting.

>>15653989
very nice desu, great deal

>>15653953

I think Amazon priced this wrong at £700, I just couldn't say no.

>>15654165
Wild.
That's probably about the right price for that watch, the msrp is crazy.

I was going to buy a seiko but then read some people are losing over 40 seconds a day. Does anyone know of some acceptably accurate mechanical watches?

>>15654165
so ugly its even cool,and 700 for a tourb is nice

>>15654194
>Does anyone know of some acceptably accurate mechanical watches?
A Seiko that is adjusted.

>>15654194
Rolex, ± 2 seconds per day

>>15654194
you can regulate the movement..........................

>>15654215
how so without hacking?

Isn't any watch without a leather strap vegan?

>>15654218
?
just open the caseback and move the lever
you can "hack" a 7s26 by turning the crown backwards, the seconds hand will stop

>>15654218
He means you can take the back off the watch and fiddle with it to improve it's accuracy, this is of course terrible advice to give to random people that just want to buy a watch that works witch is why two posters in the tread were quick to suggest it.

>>15654220
>the ultimate woke watch
subtle dig
>>15654224
if you want to buy a mechanical but you are "too afraid" to open up the caseback you should honestly man up
its not hard if you arent retarded, this isnt like servicing a watch or whatever it literally just nudging a small lever and there are many youtube vids to guide you

>>15654231
or I could get a watch that was made correctly from the beginning.

>>15654237
its called watch ownership and maintenance

do you go to a shop to change your straps?
do you call a car company to change your tyres for you?

man. the. fuck. up

>>15654240
Yes to both if they were brand new like I originally stated

>>15654231
>its not hard if you arent retarded, this isnt like servicing a watch or whatever it literally just nudging a small lever and there are many youtube vids to guide you

Even that guy who didn't know nothing about tuning ,screwed its vostok and finally managed to tune the watch after watching some vids.

>>15654237
If it's on the usual parameters, the watch is fine, if not, you can send it to the factory again to tune it or you can try it yourself.

>>15654194
If your shit is losing 40s a day it's magnetized

>>15654253
these are reviews and forum posts claiming they got it brand new and after less than a week of wearing they are getting over 40 seconds off thats all I'm saying I havent bought one

>>15654247
>needing someone to change straps for you when it literally takes like a minute
just buy a quartz, mechanicals are not for you

>>15654259
kek
must be some 6RXX movement

>>15654259
Yeah seiko has issues with quality control, it should be noted that for most of their watches 30 seconds per day is within their listed specifications and therefore not considered a defect covered under warranty.

>>15654259
Their shit is magnetized

>>15654265
hey man if you dont want the manufacture of your stuff to be held accountable then thats up to you

>>15654274
entry seiko movement tolerances are +-25
anything below that is acceptable to them
usually its about half of that
these entry movements are made en masse and they are just briefly regulated on the factory floor
there is also a "settling in" period for a new watch, where the timekeeping will shift and hopefully improve

if its poorer above +-25 its covered by their warranty
you can send it back to their service centre but that will take weeks, up to like 2 months to come back to you, because there is a queue

so its up to you whether you want to wait that long or just do it yourself and get it fixed right then and there

>>15654316
do you happen to know what would be a step or two up in mechanical accuracy, maybe just a tier below entry level luxury brands? I was also briefly looking at Hamiltons.

>>15654325
Hamilton is generally better,

Just get something with an ETA 2824-2 or SW 200-1.
You’re by no means guaranteed to get super accuracy, but you’d still have to be unlucky to lose or gain more than ten seconds a day.

Even NH35 is usually fine.

>>15654341
Sounds good! I am by no means looking for the most accurate I was just looking for some recommendations of solid watches/movements for the price

>>15654194
Anyone losing their shit that badly got getting a magnetized one. The only thing that has better accuracy in shitter range is a tissot le locle chronometer.

Also, one person keeps posting here that the 6R35 has problems but never cites a source, don't listen to them.

>>15654374
literally just google "6r15/ 6r35 accuracy issues" and you'll get tons of hits
they are notorious for having issues in contrast to 4r35/nh35 which is known for generally exception performances even though its a cheaper movement

>>15653225
sinn is cool but not feeling this one particularly. I'm not wild about oris but these are very comfy-looking compared to the sterility of the sinn. plus if it's too big then the sinn is a no-go. if you go oris go green. comfier color for a comfy watch.
