I'm done buying shitters and saving for a Grand Seiko. Please proceed to not entice me with cool shitters I will impulse buy. Thank you

What does /wt/ think of the combat sub ?

I think it's starting to grow on my I can't help but keeping thinking is it another submariner homage or is it a watch in it's own right ? I feel like I've been poisoned against so many dive watches thinking "it's just a sub rip off".

I just want a super casual looking diver. I feel like the Submariner is the platonic ideal but out of my price range and also I think I've just been over-exposed to it. Love the Yema superman Air force but to be honest I'd rather have a ETA/sellita, STP even that fucking around with some hard to service movement for the sake of "muh inhouse"


What do /wt/ ?

when I see "sub 20 atm" it makes me think "under 20 atm"

>>15708831
It's closer to the OG 50 Fathoms than to the sub.
It's certainly a dive watch in it's own right.

>>15708820
I can't tell "great" finishing from simply "good" or adequate finishing. Bad finishing is obvious. Help an Anon out.

>>15708865
A combination of the amount of manual labour involved, the techniques shows and the level of the execution.

>>15708820
>44mm
Is it a prerequisite that as a billionaire you must have ridiculously fat wrists? I'd probably cry myself to sleep if I could afford that watch yet not be able to due to noodle wrists.

>>15708865
The more expensive a watch, the better the finishing. Every time you talk about an expensive watch, be sure you say it has "great finishing" (or similar) so it makes the impression you know what you are talking about.

>>15708869
Custom order a smaller watch if you're a billionaire aq

>>15708868
For example on this watch the numerals are not applied on top of a machine made textured dial. Instead from a single piece of metal the entire dial is hammered out by hand with a tiny metal spike. That takes weeks to produce and a single mistake means they have to start from scratch.

>>15708869
The vast majority of watchfags have a 6.5 inch wrist. Some have a 7 inch wrist. Few have a wider wrist. I am pretty sure 6.5-7 inches is average.
The trend towards giganigga size watches is probably due to watches being seen as flashy jewelry for rappers or some shit

>>15708869
I've heard that two thirds of all millionaires are over 6 feet tall so maybe that statistic can be extended to billionaires too. No manlets allowd in this club. It's probably why some billionaires still wear shitters.

>>15708879
There are a disproportionate number of wristlets on /wt/ but I believe in general the average wrist size is 7in hence why most brands target that size.

>>15708831
excellent watch, I don't know if it has AR on the sapphire though.
Glycine in general is based as fuck

Imagine this in 38mm with a dark green rubber strap hnnng

>>15708879
I have a 7.5 inch wrist and I'm not fat. Wristlets should do more physical stuff with their hands, it'll thicken your wrists.

>>15708911
Green is a terrible color for a watch. I don't understand the appeal.

>>15708941
Wrist size is almost entirely genetic. A life of manual labor will thicken your tendons slightly but it still won’t make a big difference.

>>15708820
Still looking for a watch that looks exactly like this, has a 1/100 chrono, and preferably with radio synch but without smartphone shit.

Last thread I was told that the seagull movement was my best bet for a chronograph under 1000? Any alternatives. Based off what I saw might get the baltic.

>>15708941
>it'll thicken your wrists

Crazy idea here:
Just buy a watch in a size that fits you
There is nothing you can do to substantially thicken that part of your body. Maybe bigger forearms and hope the wrist thickens. But only precise training. Manual labour will be too slow to achieve results. There is just no muscle you can grow on your wrist. Getting fat is a solution, but the worst.

>>15708966
Mechanical chronos? It's pretty much your only bet. At least you've got your choice of microbrands so you can find one you like aesthetically. I went for the hked 1963

>>15708972
To add to my post:
Compare this pro armwrestlers competing arm vs his normal. He has a thicker forearm on his right but wrists seem to be only minimally different. And these guys do all the exercises to strengthten their wrists.

>>15708951
That's a terrible example of an oversaturated shiny green that won't work with anything else you wear. >>15708914 is done much better for example

>>15709003
It still looks like vomit.

>>15708912
I wish the lugs on the 36 mm were 18 mm instead of 17 mm. Other than that it's perfect. Pointer date is so awesome

>>15708966
I got this years ago for 570€
>refined russian Poljot P3133 movement
>handwind

Solid movement, still works great and holds time very well, despite not been serviced for like 7 years or so. Problem is, can't find this movement in the newer zepps anymore. But try your luck, that movement surely got stuffed into other brands.

>>15708966
most russian chronographs, some valjoux 7750 movement watches, and all chronographs with st19 movement

How are we sure it is not done with a machine?

>>15709041
You can literally break mechanical chrono by pressing wrong buttons, if you use it daily and rely on it I would get something that wont break from misuse.
If you like the look and feel of mechanical chrono, and don't plan on using it daily then get it.
Also serve servicing one is pricey.

>>15709027
I guess you could file a bit from each lug, 1mm is nothing, that or doing that to the straps/bracelets.

>>15709061
Anything modern? This thing comes close but it's over $3k and doesn't even hack if I'm not mistaken.

>>15708995
The panda dial is very nice.

>>15709049
you'd be better off finding what movements are options and searching by movement

>>15709084
That's sorta what I'm asking.

>>15709068
how can you break it by pressing the buttons wrong?

>>15708831
Definitely a Sub ripoff, and a shitty one at that.

>>15708914
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-G0oYsCghk

>>15709095
it hardly looks like a sub unless you're the retard that thinks every diver is a sub ripoff

Vostoks yes or no? The Pepsi Vostok looks pretty nice to me

>>15709092
That's what I'm also wondering

>>15708921
the aqua terra is really nice

>>15709101
дa

>>15709101
Just so you know, the cyclops on that watch is glued direction onto the dial.

>>15709111
that is incredibly russian

>>15709049
Is their a reason you don't want a ST19 ? you are kind of shooting yourself in the foot but excluding the most affordable column wheel movement on the market.

You could look vintage and get something with a Venus 175 , but you are literally buying the same movement but "MUH SWISS"

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BREITLING-CRONO-MANUALE-ACCIAIO-VENUS-175-RUOTA-A-COLONNE-REF-789-ORIGINALE-RARO/124134608418?hash=item1ce6ffce22:g:TAYAAOSwZK1d5Rz2

>>15709117
>Is their a reason you don't want a ST19 ?
Just wondering aloud if there's anything else besides it or old russian chronos. It seems like every modern chrono has a diameter starting with "4" these days.

>>15709122
Maybe search vintage , does it HAVE to be a column wheel ? you could look at something with a Valijoux 7733 you'd probably find something a bit more inspiring than a "vintage inspired" microbrand that looks like all the others

>>15709111
Whats the disadvantage of that?

>>15709132
Well I already have a chrono that satisfies all those conditions except having a column wheel (lemania 1873 movement). So I'm wondering if there's anything out there with an equivalent or better movement with a column wheel that wouldn't also be several times more expensive. So far it seems like the only way to get that would be to find a vintage piece.

>>15709133
nothing, it's just hilarious

I love this , but hate the fact it's a sub homage

>>15709068
Can you back up what you said or are you just talking out of your ass?

>>15709139
English isn't my first language. What does "glued direction onto the dial" mean?

>>15709142
>>15709092
is the fact that you can damage chrono by resenting it while it is running (if it's not a fly back) not a common knowledge?

Bull bars for G-shock, yes no?

>>15709157
no it looks retarded unless you are a literal navy SEAL

>>15709137
Longines and Frederique Constant have models with colum wheel, but the things are bigger than 38mm and cost around 1,8k-3k.

>>15709049
39mm diameter and 13.5mm thickness, but you might want to check the Longines A08.L01 out:
https://www.jomashop.com/longines-watch-l4-803-4-72-6.html

>>15709150
Sorry there's a typo. The cyclops magnifier is usually glued onto the crystal of a watch. Because vostok use a very domed crystal they cannot glue the magnifier onto the crystal so they glued it on the dial itself.

>>15709162
Looks too much like a casio mtp1246 to me

>>15709170
Does it matter?

Imagine being retarded enough to buy a mechanical chronograph in 2020

>>15708829
Hello anon. Do you have a Flightmaster? What about the one with the blue panda dial? Have a nice day!

>>15709186
>What about the one with the blue panda dial
huh?

>>15709182
No it's just funny and unusual which is par for the course from vostok.

>>15709101
Vostoks are pure. No marketing bullshit, workhouse movements that never break down and you can just buy straight from the source
They even have great heritage and nice little tech on the glass and rubber on the caseback to withstand great depths without a screw down crown.

Got my NATO today! What do you guys think about my free time watch?

>>15709183
Are you lost? Personally I would get an edifice chrono but they're all +48mm

>>15709190
It's pretty cool anon but I hate that bezel so fucking much

>>15709190
I'm considering coping this as well. Either that or a 65 Komandirskie with those colorful dials.

I just want a colorful fun watch.

>>15709189
>without a screw down crown.
You mean screw down caseback, they come with screw down crowns.

>>15709192
too bad you're a wristlet and can't enjoy a casio kinograph

>>15709198
Yeah

>>15709190
I like it but personally I would upgrade to a stainless bezel and not the plated brass. You can keep it pure by buying a bezel from meranom or you can go aftermarket.

>>15709183
It's ok if you buy it for the looks, retarded if you plan to use it as a chronograph more than once or twice each month.

>>15709207
>retarded if you plan to use it as a chronograph more than once or twice each month
and whys that

>>15709199
Right...and how big is your wrist that you think you can wear dinner plates on your arm?

>>15709203
>>15709194
I have another bezel on the way, in black. Actually I like it the way it is right now so if the other one doesn't fit it's not a big deal. It's a black steel one with white numerals. Will probably dressed it up a lot.

>>15709210
I have a 7 inch wrist retard

>>15709211
out of all the chink shit that gets posted here, this is easily the most pathetic.
You genuinely have to be retarded to spend any amount of money on these

>>15709225
sure you do champ

>>15709229
Cope harder retard

>>15709101
Yes but spend the extra money for the optional neptune bracelet, trust me.

>>15709189
Don't forget about all the potential for modding.

>>15709232
This anon is right, the solid bracelet is worth the money. Also make sure to checkout in rubles, it's cheaper

I'm in the army reserve and I need a digital watch for timings and field work. I could get some heinous black plastic thing from Walmart but it would be cool if I could get something durable enough for some bush whacking without being too ugly to wear in public.
I'm not going to Afghanistan or anything like that so it doesn't need to be too hardcore

>>15709238
gshock

sOimega

>>15709238
You can pick pretty much any digital Casio for that.

>>15709238
a gshock dw5600 or 5610 for solar and shit
or just the casio ae1200

>>15709238
Get a 5600 or 5610. You could get a metal bezel for it eventually for daily wear.

>>15709049
If you can find one in stock somewhere this is pretty close.

>>15709190

>>15709238
Timex atlantis 100 also know as expedition atlantis. Chrono, countdown timer, alarms, indiglo. The display isnalso highly reflective so it makes it very legible in low light.

>>15708912
>watch has big crown
>write "BIG CROWN" on dial
Thanks, I wouldn't have been able to tell otherwise.

>>15709208
Because compared to quartz, mechanicals are not very reliable, their servicing cost are higher and the chrono does not run for too long, a quartz watch can chrono stuff for 24h or more and even countdown. if you are using it as an usual tool, a quartz chrono will be the better option.

>>15709267
But the conversation is about a quartz casio chrono retard

>>15709215
It means '' The pleasure of being cummed inside''

MUDMAN g-9000
they are cheap right now and they have big easily accessible pushers.
Alternatively check out the timex Ironman Endure 30 it's a g-shock competitor with big easy to push buttons and they are going for around $40 on ebay right now.

>>15709279

Rec me some titanium divers in the 36-40mm range.

>>15709192
This is 45.8: >>15708964

>>15709290
That's not too bad. I would prefer somrthing below 45mm but that's not bad. Not a fan of that eatch though

>>15709296
They are a bit insane though, I just looked at the first more "classic looking" one on the site, and it's FORTY NINE mm. Thought those would be 40-44.

https://youtu.be/iEBm4YMoRw4?t=77

>>15709299
It's really unfortunate because they make some very nice chronos. They suffer the same problem as costok europe chronos, they look nice but the sizing is absolutely retarded.

>>15709232
>>15709235
the original bracelet is hollow?

>>15709299
I'm pretty sure casio measurements are the absolute largest part of the watch including the crown or pushers, sure they are large but i don't think the case itself is 48mm

>>15709308
On the 960 classic yes it's stamped. 960SE comes with solid bracelets

>>15709308
Yeah folded links, it works but it's not very nice, the Neptune bracelet feels very good and that's important for a watch with an integrated bracelet that's not easy to swap out with a standard strap

>>15709313
Really? I'll try to find some video where they measure it to compare.

Btw, does anyone have any good ideas for a JDM (Japanese domestic market) quartz shitter, what might be neat to get? I'm looking at the JDM Edifices right now, nothing that really stands out as great looking. Looked into G-Shocks a while ago and there wasn't anything great either.

>>15709314
The one he is looking at is an SE but it has a folded bracelet.

>>15709211
The red star OG is great, I have one of those as well as the Panda in >>15709080

>>15709323
That watch in >>15709101
is a classic, not an SE

>>15709207
>>15709208
>>15709151
So if I buy a mechanical chrono and use it to time my work breaks everyday it can break from its intended use? Surely there would have to be a warranty for that?

>chink

lol
also what kinda wage cuck only lets you have a 30min break? cause thats the max you can time on this thing.

>>15709328
Just make sure to stop the chrono before resetting it and you should be fine.

>>15709326
Whoops yeah you are right

>>15709328
if your watch breaks every watch company ever created bends over backwards to say you broke it because you're a retard
even rolex and omega act like this
it will break under normal use because chronos are just shitty and finicky, and then they will blame you

So let me get this straight... pic related, is an updated version of this >>15708964

WHY DOES IT LOOK FUCKING WORSE KILL ME ALREADY

>>15709332
thats a whole lot of assumptions mate I didnt say it was chinese, i didnt say how many nor the duration of the breaks. What are you upset about?

>>15709343
It literally doesn't. Just go back to your Urban Gentry videos for fuck sake and stop shitting up the thread.

>>15709337
Shoot sounds like im better off just having a rotatable bezel then? shit sucks man whats the point in making a cool feature if you cant use it.

>>15709343
Cleaner dial, retarded red highlights, cringe default subdials layout, applied date for no reason.
And anon ffs get a used one already, you are not missing out on anything without radio sync, it's a quartz after-all.
Also I hate 2 24h subdials on both of them.

>>15709365
Because I told you to go back to watching you greasy rat man videos where he tells you to consume more shit. and obsess over whatever shitty quartz chrono is his flavour of the month.

Fuck off

>>15709360
>Also I hate 2 24h subdials on both of them.
The second one shows the alarm time or the second time zone time though. Should it be 3 hands on one subdial?

>>15709365

>>15709363
Logo is marginally better than Christopher ward

>>15709374
One thing that drew me to it was the very clean dial.

>>15709363
What's the tiny little subdial for, reserve?

>>15709377
It's a nice looking watch, I'd consider getting one but I hate the logo.

I think they take SKX parts still I'd be tempted to get one and swap it out

>>15709381
That's the Long Island Watch logo.

>>15709363
The biggest problem with the Islander watches is the caseback
Literally a map of Long Island
Who the fuck wants to see that?

>>15709387
Who's GOING to see it?
I think it's kind of silly, as well, though.

>>15709373
You have the original?

>>15709347
there's not a single chrono out there that will last for more than 3 years of run time without a service. not le valjew, not le moonwatch and not le chinkshit

>>15709372
no nuke 24h subdial/change it to am pm indicator
it's not that hard
>>15709363
make one in 38mm, why does he do all the cool shit only for 43mm
>>15709382
>take SKX parts
yes, it's literally moded from factory skx
>>15709387
this put mark's face there :^)

>>15709383
No I mean the one above the hands, in the middle between the 12 marker and the dial centre.

>>15709417
Yes. Not a moving thing, just a logo.

>>15709417
That's the Long Island Watch logo.

Is there anything sadder than buying a Chinese knockoff to use as your beater and it's actually closer to COSC than your expensive Swiss shit?

>>15709437
Someone should make a logo that looks like a day/date complication.

I have an old omega quadyz which belong to grandfather.


Battery is dead and crown seems fucked. Hour hand and date move but there is a clicking noise and minute hand doesnt budge.

Any idea how much a fix may be?

>>15709451
omega has a list of prices, I think its around 500eur for repairing 3 hand quartz watches, but maybe that watch is too old and they can't do anything with the movement (they do not repair, just replace movements).

>>15709073
no, not really. you are asking for too much at too little a budget. if you are willing to spend a little more, check out the junghans max bill chronoscope

Anyone know the name of those US watches that run on a treadmill mechanism thing? Can't think of it for the life of me.

>>15709432
Mostly because of no radio sync so I didn't even really look into it, trying to find an alternative first.

https://www.casio.com/products/archive/watches/edifice/eqwm710l-1a
https://www.casio.com/products/archive/watches/edifice/eqwt720dc-1a

These also exist, the second one isn't that terrible.

Why top quality fake watches are considered trash?

>>15709481
because theyre fake??? tf?

>>15709451
It could be that the battery just rotted in there and the acid started leaking and fucked up parts of the movement. You would have to get it repaired/replaced.

>>15709486
You know that fake and trash are not synonym, right?

>>15709467
Cheers !

that's a little more than I have to spend at the moment. Probably more than the watch is worth probably cheaper to buy a whole new watch with the same movement and drop it in ?

I'll hold onto it for a while hopefully I'll have the spare cash to bring it back soon

>>15709481
Because most of the work is done on "looking the part". Even the better fakes pack in some garbage movements.
And considering the fact that they can cost upwards of 300 bucks, there really isn't any reason to get them. for that price, you can get some homages that will be of higher quality and won't be illegal to purchase, own or sell, and won't have absolute garbage movements.

>>15709049
Nah good luck. Unless you go vintage. Just get a El Primero Chronometre, bit over $3k

>>15709073
Can confirm the EL Primero does not hack, I use to care about hacking, when you have a rotation who could be asked setting the seconds.

>>15709491
in this context, they might as well be synonymous

>>15709437
how could anyone mistake a printed logo for a subdial?

>>15709501
What about homages?

>>15709182
It matters because cyclops is ugly and the first thing anyone with taste does is pry it off.

>>15709505
much better. the tudor black bay is an homage, for example

Quick question:
Has Rolex ever made a full yellow gold Datejust? I seem to remember that it used to be available on the president bracelet but that's for precious metals only (now?) so I'm a bit confused.

>>15709512
Yes, they have made a few in the past. I remember because I saw one at some point. Ref. 16XX

>>15709496
But have you ever actually owned one?
I have a fake Panerai (top quality) since more than 7 years ago. Works perfectly and it doesn't even have a single scratch. Few times posted a photo of it here and it passed as the real thing obviously.
The concept of fake watches really changed in the last years and now even the tiny detalis in the movement of the watch are copied.
I am just wondering why many watch purists consider a sacrilegy buying a fake watch and say stuff like "they only copy the appearance, they have quartz movements..." when this is something that changed long time ago.

>>15709226
What would you but instead? Hamilton, 3 broke on me.

>>15709521
nobody likes a fake. the watch world is filled with homages that are 90% like another, more expensive watch but the name and some details are different and it's considered ok, but pretending to be something it's not is never ok.
really though a lot of the disdain for homages/clones is there anyway, and that's as a result of marketing and because so much of watch collecting is about e-peen rather than an appreciation of the watches themselves.

anon's talk me out of this 400$ shitter

>>15709516
Neat, I might look out for a good one then as an alternative to the Day Date then. The day window always bugged me aesthethically.

>>15709545
That reference is 60 years old with a non hacking, non quickset movement with a very dated and prone to stretching vintage bracelet. The modern day-date yellow gold is in a different league.

>>15709549
yeah vintage faggots forget that rolexs were kind of shit until the 90s

The thing is that unlike fake clothes for example, there is so much hate towards people who own and appreciate fake watches and I don't fully understand the reason behind it.
I heard multiple excuses

> They have a really bad quality
FALSE unless you buy a 50 euro fake watch.

>They are produced in China therefore you are contributing to local mafias.
Right, like you never bought anything from Zara or Nike.
>You are harming the real manufacturers.
Yeah, none of us downloaded a film, videogame or an album from the internet. Never.

>>15709238
Everything Casio, Gshock, royale, protrek

>>15709549
>The modern day-date yellow gold is in a different league.
What do you mean by that?
I had a quick look at the offers on yellow gold Datejusts and there were only a handful of watches which is why I asked. Most of them were on the jubilee actually.
I did find a white dial 6 digit ref nr example though which looked pretty good so that's something I'll have an eye on. The really old ones are a bit...too old really for me. I'm not in a hurry though, currently offloading some midlevel ballast like my Thiccdor Black Bay.

>>15709559
dude I explained it to you, people don't like fake shit because it's fake
all that other stuff is unimportant, on a visceral level people naturally do not like anything pretending it's something it's not. it doesn't matter if the fake is really impressive,

>>15709567
> What do you mean by that?
Better accuracy, reliability, ease of use, build quality & materials etc

>>15709521
>I have a fake Panerai (top quality) since more than 7 years ago. Works perfectly and it doesn't even have a single scratch. Few times posted a photo of it here and it passed as the real thing obviously.
Post please.

>>15709576
Oh I thought you meant in comparison to the modern day Datejust. Because as far as I can tell they are the exact same thing with the exception of the day wheel.
I used to have the old Magnum PI GMT Master (16750 I think) which isn't even that vintage and I was disappointed at the time how basic it really was. Sold it to my dad a year ago and now I miss it obviously but I'll get another one and it's gonna be a modern one this time. It never occured to me before I bought it that the older ones never had the "proper" GMT hand that makes the watch what it is today.

>>15709541
400$?

>>15709584
Actually the modern Day Date is usually better than the modern Datejust because the DD is the first watch to get all their latest technology and material improvements. Rolex consider it their premium model. For example is was the first Rolex to get the new 32xx movement.

Also modern DJ/DD are larger so if you are a wristlet vintage may still be the way to go.

>>15709541
Looks great except the dumb SEAMASTER logo. Finishing is pretty bad though.

show me cheap versions of the IWC Portugieser, frens

>>15709590
Yes, chinks copied movement and dial p good for 400$
I obviously will not link it/post the manufacturer name.
>>15709597
>Finishing is pretty bad though
bezel and dust on dial?

Do I just search for rotatable bezel for a diver style watch? Itd be nice if it was pool safe but I dont need a true diver but I do like those minutes indicators. Something preferably below 40mm with a mechanical movement below 1000.

>>15709607
What?

>>15709479
>radio sync
nigger who gives a fuck

>>15709607
Vostok amphibia 420 (39mm) with a replacement bezel.

>>15709522
no I would not buy a fucking hamilton lmao

>>15709602
>bezel and dust on dial?
And the edges of the whole map thing, I doubt it's that jagged on the actual one. Or is it?

>>15709592
Not a wristlet but I'm okay with owning at least one small watch. In person the 41 mm ones look stupid even though they sit a bit better on the wrist.

WOW

don't talk about your moms bra like that anon

>>15709639
so just use your fucking phone or computer if you're going to rely on an external source to keep time.
even a shit quartz is +- 20 seconds per month that's more than enough.

I would legit buy a chris ward if they would sort their fucking logo out. Even if it was just moving it to centre top instead of that 9pm placement.

Fuck it's so bad, surely its losing them more money than it would cost to re-print some dials

I use a quartz watch because I work around a lot of magnets

Very reasonable
I wear a entry level Swiss movement cause I'm a cashier at a corner store.

>think watches are neat and want to know how they work
>bought a couple of cheap old mechanical pocket watches which were in pretty bad condition
>read zero information about watch maintenance or repair
>open first watch without unwinding mainspring
>it explodes, scatters pieces all across my room
>irreparably damage hairspring while trying to put it back together

Anyone know anything about repairing watches who could steer me in the right diretion so I don't catastrophically destroy a second?

>>15709686
That's great

>>15709711
I agree buying a radio controlled watch to set your others with is a totally pointless other step.

If you want a radio controlled watch because you think its cool then go for it. But simply to se other watches to is retarded beyond a doubt

post watch and ass pls

i dont understand fake watches. why would you wear a watch that says "rolex" on it if it isnt a rolex

>>15709073
Ooof that's pretty!

>>15709746
same question can be asked about homages
Why would you want sub/seamaster/etc, without the correct brand on dial?

r8

>>15709762
Rolex/10

>>15709762
Its a watch

>>15709752
Because you like the design but don't want to/can't pay for the original

>>15709762
You made it pretty obvious that you are going to post pictures of fakes and then take people saying nice watch as proof that fakes are just as good as the real thing/10

can someone identify this watch?
and if is any effay/good?

>>15709773
no I liked pink crocs in the pic

>>15709619
I should of known, a fucking Seiko owner, fuck off, that us one of the ugliest watches I've saw.

>>15709816

>>15709816
>casio in the filename
Anon...

>>15709619
why does it have diver's hands?

>>15709821
to match the dive bezel of course. yes it spins.

>>15709816
That's one of THE most classic casio cases, what a stupid faggot.

>>15709780
Impossible to identify, not enough quality and the zoom does not help, first thing it comes to my head is timex marlin vintage, it is similar, but is difficult to see if the dial has some reflecting surface or if its the acrylic dome effect. Apparently the watch has just 4 applied indices and logo, no date.

>>15709827
with screw down pushers it would have been perfect actually.
I dig timing + compass bezel + tach on chapter ring, does it have proper case back?
But hand are really out of place, fucking casio how hard was it to copy sneedy hands, ruined great case and dial with gay hands from diver

>>15709863
the hands match the peak 90's case aesthetic.
Casio has a discontinued chronograph that's literally perfect. Only real niggas know about it though.

>>15709746
Marketing and reputation mean that even the brand name itself has value to some. Since nearly all watches are somewhat larpy, fakes don't bother me because watches that can both easily be faked and are sought after by sleazy poorfags don't belong on my wrist.

>>15709863
>screw down pushers
that's the gayest fucking bullshit
I like being able to start/stop without needing to look at my watch.

No, you can thicken your forearms but that often makes your wrists look even smaller by comparison.

>>15709569
You know that the fake market watch and clothes is HUGE, right?
That means that is not really true that people don't like fake things. Some people don't like, but there is a pretty big community of people who do like it.

>>15708916
A luxury pen company that got into the watch game. Be as it may, they might overcharge, but they understand quality. I saw pic rel in a watch dealers window in Gran Canaria and almost busted a nut. The satin smoothness of the case and pushers, great proportions, even greater price, sadly. Their idea of recreating a bygone WATCH company aesthetic, instead of fashion shitters speaks on its own.
Are they worth the money, will they hold value? Hardly, but if it tingles your benis, remember that other watch companies at that price point are also almost all overpriced for what they truly are (IWC, Panerai)

>>15710340
One of the only fashion brand watches worth buying, although they're still overpriced.
The 1858 is nice though

>>15709762

I think on those old Omega quartz movements the crown adjusts the hour hand and theres a little button for the minute hand.
They did it that way as they were seen as so accurate that you wouldn't need to change the minute hand much, just adjust the hour for time zones or daylight saving.

Any good YouTube channels or websites or maybe books about digital quartz watches (technical or just reviews)? I know people think quartz watches don’t have "soul", but I like their unpretentiousness. I want to learn more about the construction and design, but 99% of blogs are about automatics

Quartz tech is still amazing, like >>15708551 said and makes perfect sense. Plenty of quartz watches have "soul" and history in their own right, like a RAF Seiko chronograph, say. As for your question, no idea, sorry.

That's simply not true. Most of them use miyota 9015 and cloned 2824. They are both reliable and easy to service movements.
