Man, very few watches can pull off the 4.5 date, and this is not one of them.

>The first loop should be movable too. This thing has to be some sort of planned fail point.
yup, there is literally, l i t e r a l l y
no real reason for the 1st loop/keeper of a strap to ever be stitched in and unmovable.

Any more recommendations for a tactical/military watch that isn't a G-Shock, /wt/? I'd like something that goes with your everyday tacticool autismo outfit, cargo pants, army shirt/jacket, that sort of thing.

>>15692934
I'm also obsessed with shitters

>>15692947
You're basically saying "I want a military watch but not THE military watch." Actual soldiers wear G-Shocks or some other Casio like the AE1200. Otherwise just get some cheap dive watch.

just ordered the last watch i'll ever known. fuck your gay ass faggot consumerist "hobby".

>>You're basically saying "I want a military watch but not THE military watch."
Maybe I should just get one of the Rangemaster/Mudmaster/whatever series, I don't know. I thought about something more understated. I like the plastic Marathon someone posted in the previous thread for example.

trump just declared war on america

>>15693042
>glycine combat
I think I already said this in a previous thread - I like Glycine to some extent but they have this very weird subtle mall-like aesthetic to them, I can't quite define it.

>>15693083
The square is a pretty understated G-Shock. Rangeman/Mudman/Mudmaster look cool but the Rangeman/Mudmaster are fucking big. The Casio Duro is a pretty good quartz diver but it's also pretty big and the lume is not ideal. It works as a tactical watch since it tells the time, the date, and you can use the bezel for timing.
Marathon is overpriced. Bertucci makes military watches too and theirs are also overpriced but much less than Marathons, and those have a pretty understated look

>>15692725
Yea it's too bad all the shots of his chrono are blurry. One of the guesses besides an old heuer is a breitling chrono, but not sure a ref that looked like that was around in 1993. I guess one could try emailing jeff goldblum & asking him what watch it was but who knows if he even still has the watch or remembers what it was.

>>15693091

>>15692945
Fuck pandas

>>15693099
Also consider the Citizen Chandler. It's 120 bucks, solar powered so you only have to think about it once every 10-20 years, looks really clean and sharp and has a military vibe but nothing too obnoxious. It's a great watch. Strap kinda sucks but you can get good quality NATOs and whatever easily.

Check out this shitter I just got off of ebay, pretty excited to get it after it spends a couple months in russian postage hell.

>>15692920
I know it's not an original. I still like it. It uses a raketa movement but it isn't a true 24h movement, it's been modified to be one. I don't care too much, it's a neat watch and I wanted it since I first seen it 14 years ago. Bought it in Russia too.

>>15692931

>>15693227
I assume until 1999, also available in english printed dials and you can do the math to get the right dates with the old dial technically, I think the Russian version looks much cooler though.

>>15692886
Found a used blue one for $80 on ebay. Black one would be nicer but I'm not too picky

>>15693242
Can you explain the point of the dates and months on the dial and the 2 day windows(top and at 3)?

Are first generation Seamaster Aqua Terra's (2504.50 specifically) worth it over the more recent releases? All that new tech is really cool but draws a much higher premium than buying a used AT.

>>15693319
It looks prettier than the new ones.

>>15693331
Yeah fuck I'm so torn, I think the new ones look cool but I'm not sure if I'll stay in love with the slatted dials. New ones being Master Chronometers or whatever is a sick fucking spec. And the movement looks so much better in the new ones.

>>15693335
it's objectively a better watch in every way except maybe you don't like the slatted dial
you pay more and get actual value

Talk to me about rubber and silicone straps.
Ive had a cheap 8 yuro rubber strap that I could cut and microadjust (clasp) to my exact preferences and loved it, fell apart at the lugs after about a decade. Nowadays the same one costs 20 yuros, wtf.
I also hear silicone straps are lint magnets, anyone have a QRD or article as to what is what and what are the going rates for a good one right now? Third party straps.

Pic rel, mine was of the same principle, only different design.

The THICK SINN retard strikes again.

Only he lacks the cognitive function to complain about an automatic chronograph with a domed crystal being 2mm thicker than a submariner.

>>15693563
It looks like the watch is floating over that wrist.

this doesnt look half bad, right?

>The Certina DS Chronograph Automatic is powered by a modern self-winding movement, the calibre A05.H31. This automatic cam-and-lever chronograph is derived from the ETA 7753, a two-counter version of the tried-and-tested 7750 base. Its balance wheel incorporates an anti-magnetic silicon hairspring and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Compared to a classic Valjoux, the power reserve has been boosted to 60 hours.

>>15693722
are there any chronos with sub-dials at 3 and 9 (not 12 and 6) WITH a date at 6 and below 40 mm that are not speedmasters?

>>15693740
yes
Sturmanskies/ Poljots

>>15693740
this other russian shitter too.

Check the term bicompax, it will lead you to similar watches, but the bad part is that chronos are hard to find in less than 40mm, 40 is probably the minimum you will see on modern watches.

Dainty. Here is picture of NOS Poljot as promised.

>>15693772
That's pretty sick anon. How much did it cost?

>>15693773
285 Euros. I wanted a mechanical chrono and it was either this shitter or the Sea-gull 1963 shitter. I decided to buy the rarity instead of the mass produced chinese one.

Talk me into or out of the nomos metro

>>15693922
>34mm for a normal wrist
laughinggirls.jpg

>>15693928
34 is only 2mm smaller than 36, which is nothing.

it is closer to the average size of most watches throughout history than modern dinnerplates.

>>15693940
We're just going full-circle, wristwatches are going back to the size of converted pocketwatches.

>>15693940
if 2mm is nothing why do you faggots flip out over a watch being 40mm instead of 38, or 42 instead of 40?

>>15693943
because we're actually flipping out about it being 44 instead of 38.

>>15693943
because watch size is exponential
a 40mm watch will need longer lugs, wider straps etc.
its not merely a +2mm in size, in actuality the larger the watch the increase gets more and more. Its more like an additional +6mm lug to lug
it is compounded

>>15693924
>one of like 2 nomos designs worth a damn
>hideously expensive compared to the lugmonsters
why

Should I take the vintage chronograph pill?

>>15693422
What are you talking about, it's not even remotely similar?

>>15693679
These are fucking hideous, holy shit.

>>15693772
Are you the obnoxious ring faggot?

>>15693940
36mm is also very small for a (normal) male wrist

>>15693679
Can't say I enjoy the new designs. The 105 ST SA is alright but something about the roundness of the hands and indices throws me off.
What would it take for them to just slap the yellow 356 UTC GMT hands on the 104 and call it a day?

>>15693969
but people still buy watches like the 36mm datejust though

>>15693960
Only vintage Seiko quartz chronos, they're still accurate as fuck after almost 40 years.

>>15693402

>>15693959
What's the other one? The lambda? The minimatik?

>>15693986

>>15693943

Genuine question since I’m new to watches but would anyone be able to tell the difference between the Hamilton and the SNK809? Why spend $500 on Hamilton when the Seiko is under $100?

>>15694005
You have autism. Bitching about a $400 service for a mechanical watch is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen in these threads, and I’ve been here a long time.
>in-house movements are now a meme
Find a hobby.

>>15694030
the seiko has a shit ass movement (although it is replaceable iirc) and some people like hamilton more than seiko. the designs aren't the same either. I would say the seiko actually looks better, hamilton always tries to jam in everything. the problem with the khaki is they left in the "15" at 3 o'clock when the watch would be balanced so much better by leaving it out

>>15694030
That is an irrelevant question because no one who sees that watch apart from you cares. So the question should be which do you prefer.

>>15694030
>would anyone be able to tell the difference
as a watchfag 100% yes
as a normie pleb they dont care either way

>Why spend $500 on Hamilton
much better movement, higher beat rate (the old one anyways) +hacking and handwind
its a watch that doesnt look its price though. Compare it to other similar watches in its price tier (sarb017)

>>15694045
doesn't the movement that the h10 is based off of have problems with handwinding?

>>15694030
Well for one, the Hamilton has a field watch dial while the 809 has a weird miniaturized German pilot dial.
For two, while the Hamilton has a sapphire crystal, the 809 only has Hardlex. It will collect dings and scratches.
The Seiko also says "SEIKO 5" on the dial in a raised shiny bit of metal so that's kind of a tell.
For three, the Hamilton has a metal bracelet while the 809 has a cheap strap. There's a variant 809K with a metal bracelet as well, but it's cheap folded links.

And while it won't be noticeable for others, for your every day usage the 7s26 movement isn't the most accurate movement in the world. They're notorious for running fast and you'll find yourself setting the watch several times a month.

Don't get me wrong, Hamiltons are kind of overpriced and the 809 is a fair amount of watch for the money, but you're not going to pass one off as the other for anyone who would care about that sort of thing. And anyone who wouldn't care isn't going to care about your watch either way.

>>15694032
>take watch apart
>throw it in the ultrasonic cleaner
>put it back together

>>15693924
I bought a Tangente date 38 a few years ago when I graduated college. Still really like it and wear it a lot. Only downside is there’s no quick set date on the manual wind, not sure if the auto is different. I think the metro is the same way.

Also if you can certainly try the watch on in person. I walked into the boutique certain I would buy a club but Nomos watches photograph one way and wear a totally different way because of the lugs and tiny bezels. /wt/ has a hatred of Nomos so take opinions from here with a grain of salt.

>>15694053
I would like HOMOS more if all their watches were like $500 less. I want a Tetra but not for $2000 get the fuck out of here

>>15694052
>spend several thousand dollars on a totally useless trinket
>complain that you have to spend a couple hundred bucks every 5 years to keep it running
Serious question why not just stick to disposable watches at that point? The last watch I got serviced cost me $2k and 3 months by the way.

>>15694053
There are a few Nomos rabid haters on /wt/ but most know they are great watches and probably the best mechanical watches you can get at that price point.

>>15694055
Sounds like you want Stowa

>>15694048
its h50, not h10 i think
i dont think so, its based off the ETA 2801, not 2824, thats the one with the HW issues
is a handwinding only movement, no rotor. Would be kinda silly if it cant handle the only thing it can do.

i do have a SNK myself though (the white one). I think the hammy is slightly too expensive when you consider other options.

>>15694030
Even before I was an actual watchfag I always thought the SNK809 looked like complete dogshit when looking at popular cheap seikos. I kinda get the appeal but always just looked cheaper than it actually is in my mind.

I've got a Hamilton Khaki now, totally love it. Has hacking, plus much longer power reserve and accuracy than any Seiko 5.

>>15693520
It’s Bernhardt, not Benchmade. Get glasses, you sperg

>>15694055
There are multiple used Tetras on Chrono24 for ~$1k right now.

>>15693388
Absolutely love mine but I have a 7.25" wrist. You should look for something with a smaller lug to lug

>>15694052
you need to do this only 5-7 years apart, does 80-60$ a year sounds a lot?
if yes, go with low maintenance tools i.e disposable watches/solar quartz

>>15694052
swiss man's time worth 1000000x more
pay up

>>15693986
Still ugly as fuck too

>>15694077
you don't even need to do it 5-7 years apart
you can service your watch every 10 years, unless your watch is already ancient it should be fine just because the quality of machining and lubes has come so far. and if it's an NH shitter you can just replace the movement wholesale for $50
i have an omega from like the 1990s that has not been serviced in 15 years and doesn't have any fancy co-axial movement but it keeps perfect time
meanwhile I know guys who bought a rolex dateJUST like 5 years ago and service it every single year

>>15693989
Not bad, thanks. Is there a day/date version?

>>15694093
>w2c
the-electricianz.com
sadly they are retarded big (CASE DIAMETER: 45mm)

>>15693969
36mm is the gold standard for normal sized people and probably always will be. 42mm or higher is just vulgar most of the time.
>>15694082
You can wait longer to service your watch, or never service it at all, but if you’re going to hold onto it for life you’ll just end up paying more later when you inevitably have to have more of its movement replaced. I get being opposed to mountain Jews nickel and diming you to death, but unless you have some outrageous AP wherein they’ll charge you $3k and take 6 months, it just seems like wasted energy. I really don’t understand someone who is frivolous enough to spend ~$10k on a Rolex, then complain about having to pay a couple hundred bucks every few years.

its finally here.

I might as well. A sapphire, ceramic bezel GMT with a reliable movement for under $100 seems pretty good

>>15694096
Standard by what metric?
>>15694109
Sure maybe 20-30 years ago. But now I'd say 38mm is best of both worlds. But I agree that 42mm+ is definitely not going to age well.

>>15693847
this gets me every time lol

>>15693901

Why do we measure wrist sizes in inches and watches in mm?

IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE

I blame Americans.

>>15694177
day date at 6 is really the only way to go.
great look but the diving bezel throws it off to me.

>>15694112
Should have gotten the version for people who aren't 12.

>>15694246
We measure everything that has to do with watches in mm because it all started in metric-centric Europe.
"We" measure wrists in inches because we are currently speaking english in a place that's mostly frequented by 'murricans.
I measure my wrist in cm.

Any other watches with this look (rectangular, ultra thing) in the $50-$150 range? Aesthetically I really like how it looks but my one gripe is that it's a resin case dressed up to look like stainless steel, which strikes me as kind of cheesy

>>15694246

you can get square vintage watches for reasonably cheap, and citizen makes a few square watches. so does bulova but theirs are kinda big

>>15694255
A1000D is an all steel case, but there's a mother-of-pearl effect on the face.

>>15694255
If you want square digital watches, look for early quartz-crisis stuff.
A lot of them were going for that look to set themselves apart from the more classic dials that was thought to become old-fashion soon.

Is there a decent modern looking chronograph that uses a seagul movement?

I'm not really feeling the vintage feel everything seems to have. If it was an actual vintage watch then sure. It feels like buying pre-ripped jeans

>square watches or square digital watches?
No preference on this end, other than the fact that digital watches tend to be thinner and less expensive. Any suggestions for vintage models that I should check out?
>>15694271
Thanks for the suggestion. However I really prefer the aesthetic of a more rectangular case that is more or less the same width as its metal band

>>15693183
Just ordered the same one today. Based

For me, it's the geriatric version.

>>15694289
You are thinking of square or tank style watches. Citizen made a bunch of quartz watches in that style from the 80s-90s. Just search for square quartz citizen watches on eBay, there are a ton. They still make some modern ones but the designs are a bit more dressy and minimalist.
Seiko has a solar tank for around $100 that looks pretty good.
Peugeot makes shitter quartz rectangle watches for very cheap, their logo is kinda ugly though.
If you want automatic and don't want to hunt through vintage lots, Chinese do make a $100-$150 Homos Tetra ripoff that is pretty good

>>15694177
Would a dark blue, something like a navy blue work with the black version?

>>15694313
Blue strap I mean

>>15694083
Theres this, they might do a PVD version if it has to have a black case.

>>15694184
If I google 'Citizen Chandler' it brings up loads of different eco drive models, seems to be an American thing. Over here they're referred to by model number by Citizen.

>>15694177

Very ugly, I have no idea what the fuck happened to them.

>>15694296
It's an amazing watch. Everyone memes the F91W but for $10 more you can get the AE700 which looks a million times better and comes with a very wearable bracelet, or you can get the AE1200 which blows it away in specs
The F91W honestly looks like a kids watch

>>15694271
i have the one on the right, i like it, bracelet is good but the time is really hard to read if youre not under the sun. though pressing the lume is pretty cool since its a good lume

>>15694353
Nah f91w is a classic. It doesn't look kiddy until you start getting in to the obscure lorus homages.

>>15694392
that looks better than the f91w

>>15694246
You do know you're allowed to measure in cm right? Nothing is stopping you.

>>15694393
No.

>>15694246
>Why do we measure wrist sizes in inches
We don't only muricans do it, the imperial system is retarded and eventually all the retards who use it will realize the superiority of the metric system, you muricans are so cucked you kept the british system when you got the independence from them.

>>15694395
mm and cm is the same system dumb burger

10mm is 1cm
100cm is 1m
1000m is 1km
see, easy

>>15694457

>>15694460
Because why the fuck would you state your wrist is 177mm over 17.7cm. Unless you're measuring something small like your cock there's no reason to stay in mm.

>>15694457

Here you go, my nigga, I just saved you about 3k while givving you a more rugged and accurate watch in the mean time.

>>15694488
Usually in scientific/mechanical work fields when the object is not big the optimal choice is mm, now, wrists are small objects so the ideal would be using mm and not cm, many times argued about this with my father, he comes from a scientific field and I'm just a pleb so every time I gave him measures in cm he got mad as fuck, under 1m size always in mm.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but your father is extremely autistic. Not only is it extremely easy to convert measurements between cm and mm, it’s also wildly impractical to actually measure everything in mm. Uncertainty is calculated and accounted for in any sort of measurement when doing an experiment with any rigor whatsoever.

He worked all his life in manual labour, started in workshops, and then finished as electrician/repairing machines at hidroelectric plants/energy stations for 40 years. He said all the pieces had their size in mm unless they were big because it was a precission work and working in mm is easier.

>>under 1m in size always mm
>What the fuck am I reading

I like road bikes, and in that world the mm is widely used, everything is measured in mm, cm are left for frame/leg/body height size.

>>15694598
>everything is measured in mm except the things that aren't

anon I have genuine concern for your mental well-being at this point

>>15694601
Everything on the damn bike is measured in mm, only the sizing on the bike is done in cm so plebs can know what bike they have to buy, body size is different than the bike sizing, still some sites does the body sizing in mm,if you get a scientific study your body parts (athletes does it) will be measured in mm.

If it's not measured to attometer precision what's the point?

>>15694617

I bet you tastelet wear watches over 47 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 ym.

>>15694542
Actually saying 16.4 is faster than 164 even if you deop out saying one from one hundred.

As a scientist who studies the heavens, the only true unit of measure is the Astronomical Unit.
If your watch is 2.764 × 10¯13au or greater then you are a rapscallion and a sodomite.

Few microbrands go through the trouble of COSC certification though.

Is there any point in trying to dial in my vostok under +15s/day? It's been running like that steadily for months now. I'm hoping to maybe get it below +5 a day.

>>15694660
>Made a shitpost 4 hours ago

>>15694686

>>15694668
Pretty much any ETA or Sellita movement can be regulated to COSC tolerance. Doesn't make the rest of the watch any better.

>>15694686
>+15s/day

>>15694708
>when your east-german shitter is -15m/day

>>15694686

set it to -1 minute from reference so your watch will be correct within a minute for a week
repeat
or play around with regulating it

>>15694102
41+ for non tool/diving bezels.

42+ for tool/dive


38 - 41 is probably the perfect range in modern times, but a 36mm ouster is classic and looks more stylish almost every time despite what fat boomers on forums say

>>15694133
Breaking free would be just getting a quartz timex or wearing nothing.

Pagani will never feel good to wear

>>15693563
Not the white dial but I like mine! They are a little thick though.

>>15694727
>quartz timex
for the same price you can get an actual mechanical vostok.

>>15694592
This is a good watch :)

>>15694592
Zenith triggers /wt/ for some reason. I like the El Primero but a lot of their watches are just hideous. Even the El Primero is only cool in a weird sort of retro way. Hard to describe.

>>15694730
Yeah, but we’re talking about breaking free of watch autism.

A niche Soviet brand only known to internet dwellers is not it

>>15694704
The point would be having a morr accurate vostok. I have a 5610, can't get more accurate than that.
>>15694716
What I'm wondering is if there's any point in playing with the regulation.

I don't see the logic in your argument. They could only wear the size options that were available during that period.

Wrist sizes didn’t suddenly grow. Watch companies just responded to the 2000s oversized trend.

All of those watches look better than most shit people wear today.

Actually that's not true. Global diets have improved leading to increase heights, and hence bone size, across the world.
