Sticking to the theme, is this watch /wt/-approved?

>During my trip, I also talked to a watchmaker.
>He made watches for Rolex. He has worked for lots of high-end brands. Brands within the region of Rolex, and I asked this question is “Rolex worth it?”
>Similar to the chairman of ORIS, he got very serious and his body language changed and his facial expression changed as if he had something serious to tell me as if you need to listen because what I’m about to say is going to be some room to it and he said that absolutely worth it.
>They don’t innovate but what they create is the best, this is what he said.
>To be honest, I don’t know enough about that stuff to comment all I’m going to say it I have enough trust in the brand Rolex to just believe that what they do is good.
>And that’s it. I’ve really got a lot of bashing because of the kind of status that Rolex has, that they are rich man’s watch and I don’t think they are rich man’s watch although they’re expensive watches, I’m not going to deny that.

Anyone know the exact model of this one? I assume it's vintage

Is it easy to service the poljot de deluxes? I want to get one but servicing a watch where I live is like 200 cad so I'm not sure if it's worth it

Any modern rugged sort of vintage field watch recommendations (preferably black) that aren't G-Shock?

its a reissue, bulova had various US military contracts starting from WWII. The originals were much smaller (like 32mm) and used an inhouse calibre. You can still sometimes find them floating around on ebay for ~$600++

Has both Japanese and English days, little bit smaller than i expected but a subtle shinny piece.

how can sneedy even compete

>>15717923
I really want an vintage seiko their case designer was on point l.

Not so much of a fan of their modern offerings. Their king seikos ( like the gold one anon in last thread bought) are pretty much perfect

>>15717952
Ok this genuinely looks great except it has really retarded subsecond divisions. It's in... THIRDS???

>>15717962
Its imperial time rather than metric 1 second is 120.5/48,32th of an hour

Casio has the GW-5000-1 square up for $180 on the USA outlet store.
This is the radio solar watch with the metal internal case and screwback.
They usually go for $250 or so on ebay.

Most Vintage KS and the like honestly for me miss the mark.
>>15717923
>KQ 5856-8080 ref
The 5856 series all have this Octogon bezel but are very very very small so if you're used to 38mm and 40mm its going to look tiny on you.
This reminded me of the APs plus it was in remarkable condition considering its a piece form 78'.

>>15717974
Casio also has a pretty sweet edifice up for $60.
If you want a more classic chronograph and don't like the sporty designs of the newer edifice models. Solid link bracelet

I just don't get who that line of watches is for and what are they even called, what is the style?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irLSyJV9I2c

Look at this, what is it?

one (1) poster converted whole thread to casio

>>15717545
Very nice. Really its own watch.
>>15717560
Modern tropic strap that doesn't cost the world.
>>15717761
Like it, just feel like it's too expensive. Can't explain why I think that.
>>15717923
Whoa. Dial looks incredible.
>>15717894
This would look pretty good if it was actually carved.

>>15717993
It's for people who buy mall shitters. The Edifice line is casio being nice and making it possible for plebs to spend their $200 on a mall watch that isn't an absolute pice of garbage mechanically and technology wise.

>>15717993
it's for niggers

Anyone ever mod their watches? Unironically thinking about getting a white dial Casio LTP-1314 and trying to stain it into more of a cream color with coffee. Is my plan retarded?

>>15718042
Depends on what the dial is made out of, lume is easy to stain but no idea about dials.
Some anon posted a fake rolex explorer they got recently where they had stained the lume with coffee.
You might want to hit up the model painting nerds on the toy board or table games or wherever they are hanging out these days and looking into doing a patina with some model paint. They have some products to simulate grime or grease that you could really thin out and apply to put some age on the dial.

>>15718021
There aren't any in my country though.

>>15717840
Those end links don't look flush with the case and the bracelet costs more than the watch. Thanks but I'll pass

>>15718058
Give it a few years.
The EU is working overtime trying to deliver them to you asap.

>>15718061
Okay, but I think any other option would have straight end links. A better option would probably be a shark mesh.

>>15718021
>>15718004
So as a serious watch collector, I should ignore it? What's the real watch equivalent?

Any good alternatives to this or should I just get it?

I posted in a previous thread about looking into JDM (Japanese domestic market) quartz shitters, but I haven't really found anything good that can't be found in Europe too. Seems like it's all gone pretty global unless you want some really garish Japanese fashion brand collaboration. Still looking for suggestions though.

>>15718147
you want JDM but don't want to import it?

>>15718152
No I mean everything I've seen on shoppinginjapan.net, sakurawatches.com etc. that I'm interested in is also available in regular Euro stores, maybe it's just not in the US.

>>15717894
Engravings give you no tactical advantage.

I'm gonna buy one watch to do everything except dress and swim with
Sinn 104 (black) or 105 (white UTC)

>>15718091
>ignore
OR you could get a Carrera alternative for less than 100 bucks.

Finally got the call about my 556i !

Going to go and pick it up at Lunch time

Super excited.

>>15718167
Im not a fan of the bezel type, I prefer a driver setup in the way of "how much time has ellapsed" in comparison to "how much I have left". Im also not too big on white dials. I would choose a different model, personally, but if you like the design go for it. With numbers or indices?

Have you considered any alternatives?

>>15718180
*diver setup
>>15718177
Better post some pics.

>>15718154
oh I'm sorry,I misread try finding this for not ridiculous price ATD53-2911/2/3

>>15718180
I really want a GMT that can take a hit or two while being under 42mm. I guess I could wait and see if Laventure comes out with something good next year but besides that, im not seeing a lot of options unless I go way up in budget.

>>15718180
>>15718190
Forgot to mention, with indices. I don't know how to explain it but the one with numbers just doesn't feel right.

>>15718190
>>15718192
This one is bang on 42mm, I think the monta atlas is smaller but I don't love their design language. There's a severe shortage of good looking, affordable gmt's on the market

WHY THE FUCK

look at that kinograph dial

Janny, rid this general of the shitters please

>>15718190
This is 41mm and other than the usual issue with the CW logo I think it looks great.

>>15718244
>trident complication

>>15718238
Yeah it seems like a joke, they nearly doubled the size of the original watch for the remake. It's too bad, they would probably bee pretty popular if they had just stuck with the original size.

>>15718248
A lot of the "original" watches were 32-36mm, Longines also enlarges their remakes, but modern Pullovers were always yuge.

>>15717583
>>15717601
Just found this gem
>compass bezel you cant turn
>useless 24 hour markings with some sun symbol, that are wrong

I really don't get the 24 hour and the sun thing. Is that some kind of reminder, like hours until sunrise/sunset? But it makes no sense to me, halp.

>>15718261

Fuck me i love it

I know that one guy is just shitposting but what's the best design/finish quartz under a thousand?

>>15718340
Longines vhp Id say. A bit over 1k but dig around and you can probably find it below.

>>15718333
Fuck you that looks good.

>>15718333

>>15718261
I need some 200IQ guy to solve this for me. What does the 24 hour track and the sun symbol mean? Already excluded:
>sunset/rise timer, sun sets and rises at different times 19-20:00 would not be useful
>position of the sun during specific hours so you can use it as compass

So these two are nonsense, of course, but these were the only ideas i had. I need your help to solve it, guys.

>>15718369
Maybe casio cheaped out on the g-shock modules. Would not surprise me. Or they just gave some ideal tolerances which could only be reached under lab conditions.

I am completely in love with my daily driver.
Speedy reduced is the perfect size for my manlet wrists.

99% of mechanical watches below $15k have exactly as much human work go into them as quartzes: namely zero.

Mechanical watches that are not handmade and/or hand finished have just as much "soul" as a quartz.

>>15718404
We know

>>15718399
That looksbpretty nice for a speedy reduced. I thought they usually had slightly derpy faces. Gilt accents are cool too

>>15718404
Show us your collection, G.

>>15718428
I got it for a silly price on Chrono24.

can you post reference?

>>15718454
What's the point? You literally cannot buy it.
It was discontinued over half a decade ago.

>>15718435
I couldn't find an example of this. But i know too little about compass navigation. But at least its an explanation to satisfy my curiosity. Thank you. Maybe some directions to what to search to find an example?

>>15718452
you can buy a chink homage that is the same watch for a fraction of the price
the only reason you would get this is to demonstrate your support of white power

>>15717583
>secondhand doesn't hit its marks
huge dealbreaker deau

>>15718452
Get it without the logo on the dial.

>>15718452
you can buy actual vintage ones for a fraction of the price which will look better and leave you with more money for more watches

so according to /wt/, i should only bother to with quartz shitters or >50k USD haute horological pieces?

>>15718784
I’m saying there are zero value for money watches. They are all completely unnecessary and impractical

So I'm interested in this slow-Jo-17 but I hate the one handed gimmick. I mostly enjoy the simple style and the shape of the case.

Yes, when it comes time to service your low end shitter, rather than send it to japan or tuturd for a $600 service most people will flip it.
resale value matters for mechanical shitters. Why do you think sneedmasters never get serviced? They're flipped every 2-3 years.

Noob here, don't know where else to go.
I recently had a citizen promaster worked on after it stopped functioning years ago. I've had it back now for three months now and it seems to me that it's losing about a minute a day. All the info online about the movement says it's a 4 second a day. Is it possible the original movement was substituted with a cheaper one? It's a citizen promaster NY0040-09 if that helps.

>>15718961
better not get mud on it

>>15718932
Thank you for the effort and using your time. I will see if i can find a manual later, but i guess there is no easy find. I was aware of this trick and the details, like northern vs southern hemisphere and DST. It's a very neat trick, was blown a bit away when i found out.

>>15719014

not bad, not bad, try using words like wristlet.

Welcome to the club !

>>15719058
is it even possible to service an ecodrive?
where did you bring it to?
a quartz shouldnt lose time like that

>>15718663
Looks good, have fun with it. I like the bevel on the side and the domed crystal especially. Dial is also very nice.

Update on that gold seiko, it looks like it's +14 seconds/day. Actually it was off by 5 minutes, but I might have just been stupid about setting the time, so I'll try again. Think I can get a partial refund about the line on the caseback?

>>15719058
where did you send it for repair?
and only real way to tell if movement has been changed is to open it

FUCK why is it so expensive it's fucking perfect

>>15719129
seagull movements are probably better than vintage timex movements

I already posted this last thread but i didn't realize it was one of the "kinographs" anon has been relentlessly shilling on here
$60

>>15717583
I guess I have to buy one of these now

>>15719142
He's not even shilling it, it's a shitposting faggot who picks some retarded watch and spams it nonstop every fucking thread to be annoying. It's basically spam or avatarfagging
The mudman loser, the Helson poster, the Casio faggot, it's all the same retard

>>15719129
no, that has a miyota inside, the 34mm handwind is the seagull one
>>15719120
>$175
sounds about right
get a leather strap down the road if you wanna be fancy
>>15719138
this
they actually have jewels for one
ST6 is kinda ancient though

>>15718675
A new challenger appears...

>>15718677
It looks odd because on the Reduced the chronograph module is stacked on top of the normal timekeeping module, so the chronograph pushers will be above the layer of the crown.

>>15718809
I will agree with you completely on that one. Any watch over 3.95$ quartz is a 'luxury' item, and should be seen as such. Value is not an issue unless you are doing comparative shopping for vintage or on the grey market, and even then the argument becomes 'I got this watch at a better price than people can normally get it', not 'this watch is actually worth xxx more because of xxx'.

>>15719135
$30k for a tourbillon chronograph isn’t so bad. It is however a lot of money for something so fucking hideous. If this isn’t bait, you should get your head checked.

>>15719147
>get a leather strap down the road if you wanna be fancy
It came with a leather strap, looks pretty good on it

>>15718632
I did, but it wasn't too bad. About only a week.

>>15718639
Black. The blue is nice, but I prefer the black dial and colored accents.

>>15719135
Perfect in what way? For making people think you've bought a hideous clown-sized shitter from AliExpress?

>>15719162
Presumably the designer was fired the same day he revealed the watch, there's not even one reference on the watch to the moon or the Apollo missions!
>No (0) jewel

>>15719087
it's cool

>>15719135
I really like the look of...
>looks at crown
wtf anon

>>15719162
>>15719206
casio needs to start making more steel digitals and mog the fuck out of those vintage pieces.

>>15719148
imagine spending 5k on two watches that get mogged by a fucking Casio lmao

>>15719135
it looks like a ball grenade
i kinda like it lol
it has gone all the way around the ugly meter its cool again. Very dangerously based.

>>15719146
That's not me

>>15719217
it does, but cases/dials are novelty tier, is it really that hard to make 168 but in metal?

>>15719220
It was, thankfully, a fraction of what you quoted, including the service fee from Omega for the Mark 40.

The Casio is a nice watch, no doubt, for the price point; it's not a shitter by any means. It does what it's supposed to do.

I think the emotional effect we can get from watches we enjoy wearing is severely understated in today's watchmarket. The only justification there is to spend money on a watch is 'because I want/like/love it'. Everything else is a needless comparison.

I love the design and execution of the Mark 40, but a dumbphone can do more. That makes the watch completely useless and redundant. I recognize that, and I think anyone who owns and enjoys mechanical watches perceives this as well.

Do you only like this Casio, or are there others you like too?

Been looking at my watch all evening now. Super simple but love it.

Been thinking about what straps i should get to go with it

>>15719084
Ah ok. Yeah, casios are solid, good that you take care of them.

this is interesting. I wish I could see past the logo. Same issue with chinkshit names, oceANUS, Sin, Long Jeans

>>15719228
Holy shit. Do they still sell that?

>>15719309
>I wish I could see past the logo
just stop being such a snob

>>15719309
what logo?

>>15719310
yes go for it anon, remember to post pics
A1000RBW-1

>>15719088
what did you buy 5 of anon I've seen this for the past 3 threads now I must know

>>15718677
>>15719148
I'm wearing a reduced right now and I don't think the crown being set below the pushers is weird at all. I hardly notice it, but a lot of people into watches are autistic so makes sense.

>>15719323
I think he means because the logo is hideous nothing snobbish about it

>>15719336
heh just wait

>>15718112
>Any good alternatives to this or should I just get it?
Anything? All I've found so far is Baldur's Adventure (c) Jewry Guttmensch Jr. but I think Hamilton is a better brand. I know about Marathon btw, but it's way too small for me.

>>15719386
Pic of Marathon for comparison purposes if anyone's interested.

The unmovable compass bezel is so that when you find south using the sun/hour hand method, you can orient your watch (presumably off your wrist and on a flat surface, such as a hard-backed map) accordingly and not have to translate that on the fly. I'm gonna assume the sun symbol and 24-mark track is for maintaining direction of travel: you'd remember one of the little numbers and put the sun at 7 o'clock. There's 24 marks for double precision compared to just the 12 hours, and no more than 24 because the sun-and-hour method isn't too precise as you get farther off the equator.

You'd be batshit loco to rely on a wristwatch for compass operations (because most people who die innawoods do so during the night), but it's a backup you can have in case your actual compass is a smartphone that drains its battery, or a fluid-mounted fancy thing that shattered when you fell down that hillside.

>>15719309

>>15717666
Bump

>>15719399
They make a slightly uglier 39mm version

>>15719430
And a less ugly but kind of exhausted looking 41mm

what emotions this dial makes you feel?

>>15719399
This one is bigger but I really don't like the crude cheap looking bezel.

>>15719434
Soi

>>15719434
make the middle links down the bracelet blue and add a red highlight somehwere on the face and you've got a pretty neat R2-D2 lookin thing.

These watch threads are always a brilliant kek. There is always such cope.

five identical shitposters

Sold my boring 114270 Explorer and replaced it with a Sneedmaster and maybe I'll get something vintage. Much better.

watches dont have souls and neither do people

Nice! How's it running?

Have you tried Precista by time factors? The owner is apparently a grade A cunt but watvhes might suit you

The smiths nato automatic is cool to

>>15719499

Thx, will report back when my country goes out of lockdown.

>>15719503
buy from scalpers unironically

>>15718238
do keep in mind that this strap makes it look smaller, the leather and metal ones make it look even bigger

>>15719505
Holy shit...well that's a first...lol If you own the Seamaster, then we're getting into Bizarro Jerry world...

The Tritium on your Mark 40 looks excellent btw; mine is after the transition to SuperLuminova. Your Speedy is also in excellent condition; I just got mine second hand and it's definitely in need of a service.

>>15718452

Idk if its worth the money, maybe at used prices. It is a very simple watch, if you like the design go for it. Case is finished very well, maybe look at Damasko if your okay with a date window, don't get a homage.

>>15719550
I decided it wasn't worth it for the price, and ended up getting a cheap field watch instead.

>>15719294
Very nice. How much did you pay? Do an image search for strap ideas, it's an easy way to see literally hundreds of variations and one's sure to catch your eye. Though the H-link bracelet is one of the main reasons why I like that watch so much.

>>15718663
Nice Planet Ocean, er its a Helson, who?

>>15719007
I struggle to buy this or a reverso

why are watchfags obsessed with having some $20k watch when back in the good old days most people were wearing random mall shitters?

>>15719499
>The owner is apparently a grade A cunt

>doxxed people that complained too much about QC issues with their watches
>didn't give a shit about some issues and not fix the problem

Yeah, nah, i think there are enough other to order from. No need to advertise scamming scum here.

>>15717583

>>15719146
>umm hey, how do we stop this?
>oh yeah, lets give the guy i hate all the attention he wants and acknowledgement

Can't believe that i have to say this but ever heard of "don't feed the trolls"?

>>15719555
I paid £1060 which im pleased with couldn't find anywhere priced better in uk.

I love the h link its super comfy managed to get a great fit on my wrist. Id really like to try it on a grey/blue seude cant seem to find any yet but ive not looked too hard. Might try barton straps grey sail cloth when its back in stock.

>>15719568
Yea i came close to buying the Nato once before. I still get tempted to try used as wont be beneficial to him in anyway. Nice watches made by an autistic Yorkshire cunt unfortunately

>>15719554
Its a nice watch but i do think for the money you can get something better. It's just the crown action isn't as crisp as I would like it when I pull it.

This this the best modern flieger watch:

>>15719590
Used could be a way, yes. An old, yorkshire cunt. He's some entiteled boomer fag.

>>15719582
Ah, are you the poster who posted a few weeks ago about buying the watch? I think you mentioned the jeweller that you bought it from. How come it's been so long between buying and receiving the watch?

>>15719617
Yea that was probably me. Im not entirely sure why it took so long. They didnt have the 556i in stock so i had to order it in. The Sinn website has it listed as 1-2week delivery. I'm assuming covid related delays + back order ( workshop closures & everyone at home ordering watches online maybe?)

>>15719434

that's basically the opposite of a kinograph

I just made a mental picture of you as a tourist abroad asking someone if he speaks american.

>>15719627
Ah, well worth waiting for though, and like you said, the price is especially good for a UK seller. How's the lume?

>>15719567
>why are watchfags obsessed with having some $20k watch when back in the good old days most people were wearing random mall shitters?
You mean most poor people. If you're still poor in 2020, neither man nor god can help you.

Lume is oretty mediocre to be honest which I was aware of before I bought it. Its not awful but would be beaten by a seiko

>>15719567
back in the good old days there was no other way for people to tell the time. watches were as common as phones are today. the reasons people wear watches today are very different to how people did in the past.

>>15719627
What movement does your sinn have?

>>15719645
face it, spending $20k on watches is retarded for 99% of people

>>15719665
yes
even wearing a rolex, the most well known watch brand in the world, is seen as retardedly overpriced and just a sign you have more money than sense to 99.999999% of people

>>15719657
Was for >>15719643 btw

>>15719660
SW200-1 I think they all have sellita movements now? It's got an extra jewl in over the eta? I don't know too much about movements really

>>15719665
>>15719668
You know that a lot more than 1% of people have a Rolex right?

>>15719672
yeah fake rolex

>>15719672
Not a hell of a lot more than 1% of people own one

>>15719670
Decent. I think my hamilton has a very similar movement from what I'm reading

>>15719665
Almost all watches over $10k are bought by the top 2% of the worlds population. Of course it's a non-essential niche purchase. That is pretty much what defines a luxury good.

>>15719672
Wrong. Even they had been making 1 million watches for the last 50 years, they made less btw, that is still only 0.6% of the population of the world today. Also remember that many buyers of Rolex own more than one so they number of unique owners is even less.

>>15719683
Hamilton are part of swatch so will use an eta. The sw200 is a clone pretty much of the 2824.

Hamilton use a modified 2824 I think tuned for a lower beat rate but much higher power reserve

>>15719672
lmao no it's probably way less than 1%, you serious?

>>15719565
Go with a Reverso IMO. They’re above reproach in pretty much all aspects and the actual flipping of the dial is a cool parlor trick sure to impress normies.

The El Primero is a cool watch historically and has a weird retro look about it but since you already have a Speedmaster I don’t think there’s much point.

>>15719672
Way to fail basic math retard.

>>15719515
nigger its 52 lug to lug and 46 across

>>15719518
I wish, actually a big fan of those Seamasters. Wouldn't mind owning one someday. The Speedmaster is actually new. AD gave me a better price than grey market so I said fuck it.
