Any thoughts on the Tisell type A pilot with the hammer crown? I am heavily thinking about buying one in the next few days but I don't want to spend over $300 for a nice pilot. Anybody have any experience with it? The novelty of my Orient Union has run out

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ANONS

>>15741010
I always rec getting the Laco Augsburg that has slightly worse specs but way better strap than the Tisell and is similarly priced, also consider that Laco is one of the original pilot watch companies in the '20's if you really want to larp properly.

>>15741004
>turkey day

kill yourself

>>15741025
agreed what a pozzed redditor sounding term

>>15741010
The tissel is dope, don't get the laco the movement in it sucks. Even the $70 "upgrade" movement is worse than the one in the tissel.

>>15741010
Make sure you buy it from here.

You have to pay for shipping from Korea but then you don't have to pay the markup that the European distributor charges.

Thank you watch bros

Aerotec Ace has the exact same gimick and looks better imo

Copied to relieve anon's anxiety.
>>15740980
>The dial says 7110T. The caseback says 7111
Nah, that's fine. Case and dial code don't need to match exactly, often one case can have several different dials used. In this case, the dial also changed (thinner indices) when 5626-7000 case was changed to slimmer 7110. Then case was changed to 7111 (screw down caseback) and eventually 7113, but the dial stayed the same.
>the movement is A grade (unregulated). When I opened it up to mess with the timing as it was +16, the movement says 6256B, a regulated movement.
The accuracy grades are different from the versions of the movement, though they use the same letters (and grade A is better than B, but all 5626 are A grade anyway, whereas 5646 is AA, I think). 5626B is just a later version. It shouldn't even state the movement version on the caseback, just the number.

>>15741067
Ah, I got it, it says Japan-A, right? That's just the a case manufacturer code or something like that.

>>15741025
Whine some more, little bitch

> I'm really techy I love technology, space etc

> Apple watches are gay


Hey man did you know that my smart watch can take my voice, transcode through an onboard DAC , send that signal to space bounce off a satalite to send to my buddy?

And also, can break into cars/garages/office buildings/intercept HAM radio with a rolling RF attack through SDR apps?

But tell me about the gears

>>15741065
If you care more about money than history, there's also a San Martin pilot at around 150 bucks, it doesn't look as good as the Laco or Tisell though desu.

Bros, does polywatch actually work? I got a scratch on mineral glass.

>>15741126
It works on acrylic very well, but mineral is pretty much the worst of both worlds, it isn't as scratch resistant as sapphire but it's harder to polish than acrylic, polywatch won't do the job.

>>15741087
What happens to a Rolex submariner worn everyday without servicing for 5 years?

>>15741131
Yeah I was afraid of that. Wat do though?

>>15741139
Nothing? 5 years is nothing to worry about

I really liked the blue and stainless steel version of theirs.

Loving my St19 powered Chink Speedy

>>15741004

I can't get behind milled clasps. They are too cumbersome and detract from the fit of the watch.

Try the poorfag guide in the sticky

uhg it seems to be true, the more I learn the less I know. Sometimes looking and browsing gives me a headache.

>>15741018
Congrats on the watch, man. It's the best 36mm Rolex there is.

>>15741274
Fuck me that's so basic

>>15741061
Damn, I want one of those.

>>15741258
does anyone know what movement is in that bapex chronograph?

>>15741029
This looks like a fake, the brushing on it is atrocious.

>>15741253

Keep grinding goy, these watches don't pay for themselves. Oh, wait...

>>15741502
AliExpress, chink brand is called Phylida.
Works perfectly, +2s/day.

Lower subdial is an extra “complication” it is basically a 12h indicator... compared to the 24h indicator of the original. But the quality is great.

I paid about 135€, so for the price it’s a steal, shipping took like 2 months though.

ST1901: 2 register, small seconds at 9, 30 min counter at 3

ST1903: 3 register, small seconds at 9, 30 min counter at 3, 24 h register at 6 that is not affiliated with the chronograph function
ST1905: 2 register, small seconds at 9, 30 min counter at 3, decentral power reserve at 4:30

ST1908: 4 register, small seconds at 9, 30 min counter at 3, date at 12, real moon phase at
ST1940: 2 register, small seconds at 9, 30 min counter at 3, automatic

>>15741516
Hold on... just checked the original speedy does also have a 12h subdial. So it’s perfectly done.

>>15741253
Well, I can say it looks like it came out of China

>>15741533
The only thing that you can tell from that picture is that the camera sensor is made in china

>>15741533
Sure, since it has a sterile dial. Better than that having a random chink brand name.
In terms of quality, the watch is not the typical chink shitter

>>15741542

Any idea on the reference number (if it's real) for this Patek? I'd love to find one that hasn't been shoved up someone's ass for 20 years.

>>15741061
as reparations, every honkey must buy an effay Navajo watch band

I've put a movement in my Sub case, I need to cut down the crown stem obviously and I ordered the wrong hands so I ordered some rose gold ones to match the indices.

>>15741605
>hurrah durr is this 'Patek' that say Japanese movement on the dial real?
Kys yourself.

>>15741029
calling Thanksgiving "turkey day" predates re*dit, predates the internet, and predates aids. it is neither re*dit nor pozzed, it's just what people say.

>>15741623
It's lame, reductive, and flippant. Thanksgiving is Thanksgiving.

>>15741626
>flippant

>>15741608
Native American tribes were slaughtering each other for hundreds of years before westerners settled. Do they pay reparations to enemy tribes and themselves?

>>15741635
That's right. Only ironic hipster faggots who think they're more clever than everyone say things like "turkey day."

>>15741497
i can assure you it is not

>>15741605
>(if it's real)
Nigga do you really have to ask? That fake is worthless, throw it in the trash where it belongs.

all it takes is a black permanent marker to mod the Bapex into the most based Rolex homage that ever was: the Rapex® Rape Ape

>>15741236
you're mostly right, but there is at least one documented case of the US army sending infected blankets to a tribe they wanted to oust. we just happen to have the correspondence from the commanding officer on that one, but it seems very unlikely he was some military genius who figured it out in an "a-ha" moment, it was probably business as usual, particularly considering the anecdotal evidence goes back way before the passage was discovered.
but yeah, the bulk of natives died of white man diseases spread normally long before there was a United States, or a US army.

Patek really did put 'quartz' on some of their dials.

>>15741672
ive changed the battery on one of these. They decorate the shitter quartz movement beautifully

I'm so tired of all the BS about Thanksgiving that gets spread around.
>The pilgrims (who weren't even called pilgrims until years later) actually wore colorful clothing, loved singing and dancing, and were amazed at the beauty of America when they landed, they were just poorly prepared for the change in locale
>The indians were not explicitly hostile, though they did have some skirmishes. Ultimately many died of disease but the pilgrims also suffered a huge amount of deaths from disease and also an unusually harsh winter
>Squanto, an Indian who knew English because an Englishman had kidnapped him as a slave but who had come back and found his entire tribe wiped out by disease, acted as a peacemaker between the pilgrims and the local tribe, the Wampanoag
>The Wamps were interested in allying with the pilgrims as a hedge against a rival tribe
>They worked together and had a peace that lasted multiple generations
>Squanto died and said he was happy because he would get to meet the white man's god
It's actually quite a heartwarming story but everyone is quick to say that it's all fake and people were just slaying injuns left and right for the hell of it

today I will remind them

Anyone here own any Islander watches from Marc? are they any good at all?

>>15741720
I've heard they are basically the same quality as Heimdallr, so yeah they're good

What kind of watch would the zeitwerk be considered? It's too eccentric to be a dress watch and it's obviously not any kind of spot or rugged watch. What category is it in?

>>15741740
Grande complication

>>15741740
memewatch

>>15741743
But you can have a grand complication watch be a dress or a chrono, it's not really a style category no?

>>15741619
Nice, what movement are you using

>>15741740
If you can afford a zeitwerk you likely don't give a fuck what category you think it should belong to.

>>15741754
Most Grand Complication watches are too big/thick/heavy/fragile to be functional

>>15741764
Thanks for the useless bit of info
>>15741765
But assuming you want to wear one appropriately, how would you wear the ones that aren't xbox heug, semi casual? Extremely flashly clothing à la >>15725842 ?

If i had the money I would just go full Producer Michael core.

>>15741781
Dunno, what do you pair a Jacob & Co. Astronomia with?
It's stuff for like eastern European oligarchs and oil Arabs, just dress gaudy or something

Okay, doubt they used Japanese movements though.

I swapped my SKX to an NH36 so I'm using the old 7S26 from that rather than binning it.
The bracelet I'm using has solid end links & a glide lock clasp and was under £15 on Aliexpress.

thanks anon, I'll keep that in mind

Went to the barber and then to buy groceries with my sneedverso today. I like how it changes under different light conditions. It shimmers

>>15741817
Awesome, did you order sub style hands?

>>15741754
Yeah you can have one that is Bauhaus IMO

>>15741649
Did you have at the face of the watch with sand paper?

>>15741700
Did the namefag tell you to dialate or something? Why are so obsessed with some fat fuck? Filter and move on, if he endangers your safespace. Or simply ignore trip and namefags, like most do.

I know that I can get the classic "you're just a poorfag/jealous" reply but having a watch collection that is pretty much all the modern hyped watches is super lame. He simply goes on instagrams explore page and buys everything that's hyped.

36mm is to small on your wrist and watches normally look bigger in photos, they needed to make it 38mm and scale the bezel back from the 39mm.

>>15742098
It's the same with the chronographs. They could have done the new Monte Carlo chronographs so much better but they fucked them intentionally, probably to not take away Rolex sales. I'd totally get one if they didn't fuck it up so bad.

>>15741004
Thoughts on Ingersoll? Worth the money?

>>15742331
it looks like a generic but ok watch, if it's $300 then sure, it's probably worth it.

Are they a reputable watch brand or another MVMT tier

>>15742365
Dan Henry is a dude who really loves watches and he has amassed a huge, amazing collection. And he wanted to share his love of watches with others by producing homages to some of the classic pieces he owns. He is doing his part to democratize a higher standard of timekeeping. True "affordable luxury." This is an admirable goal, and his watches are well sized, well finished, and draw from some great designs.
Really, the only problem is that Dan Henry is a terrible name for a watch brand.

>>15742331
that's a knockoff rolex

>>15742331
old brand, long convoluted history, died in quartz crisis, got sold to a megacorp. Not they just make affordable watches, usually miyota 8xxx powered. Its an okay buy if $250 and under.

>>15742365

As shitters go they're not bad.

>>15742192

38mm...... > the watch wears you, you what?okay!

The explorer was 36mm becasue that was the standard of the time but dress watches were standard, 36mm is perfect for a dress watch but the explorer is a sports watch. It should be larger for legibility, that's why Rolex make it 39mm but fucked the the bezel. Now its being meme by two YouTube who both didn't like it to start and bought it because it was cheap.

Nice overpriced undersized boring YouTubers watch, you should have bought a modern Rolex.

>>15741966
Why is this not a common watch type? The "kinda overbuilt halfway between a tool watch and a semi dresswatch but retaining the best aspects of each". Like an Aqua Terra is the closest I can think of.

5 alternatives to the Omega Speedmaster that you probably haven’t considered

>Bell & Ross Heritage BRV2-94
>$5000
Flight-inspired, like most of the Bell & Ross range, this is a slightly smaller, yet more muscular, proposition to the beloved Speedy.
>Seiko Prospex SSC757J1
>$800
OK, so it’s not a mechanical chronograph, it’s not even hand-wound, but it’s a rock solid Seiko, and no matter what reference it has, we will still refer to it as the Sumo chronograph. A highly legible matte black dial with large polished indices punching above its class? You betcha!
>Sinn 140 St S
>$5000
This is the 2020 version of the Sinn 140 S that German astronaut Reinhard Furrer wore during a D-1 Spacelab Space Shuttle mission in 1985. Sinn, the German meisters of instrument watches, deliver a chunky, cushion-shaped case not too dissimilar to an astronaut’s helmet.
>The Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph (the other moon watch?)
>$440
Astronaut David Scott wore a Bulova Lunar Chronograph on his Apollo 15 mission. When it surfaced in 2015, it sold for a huge $1,300,000 USD at auction. So for those of you who just see a Speedy homage or a good-value chronograph, this has bona fide history under its belt.
>Bulgari Octo Velocissimo Chronograph
>$7300
Yes, it’s angular and not even vaguely similar to the Speedmaster Professional. But if you shut your eyes and really concentrate and imagine a Speedy with no history and no emotional baggage, this could represent a possible alternative.

How do I know when to pull the trigger and buy a watch rather than keep browsing. I never truly understood the phrase "the grass is always greener on the other side" until I took an interest in watches.

>>15742528
put it on the list and come back to it days or weeks after and see how you feel about it.

impulsive buys dont work out well

>>15742518
agreed patrimony is the nicest classic style, even over Calatrava. dont underestimate breguet though

>>15741740
"Fuck you" level watch ie you wear suits all the time but you dont have to worry about dressing up like you would for a wedding or some shit. CEO business casual basically

>>15742003
what size are these? how much did it set you back/reference if you feel like sharing.
looks cool

>>15742530
Excellent response. What if it meets (as near as makes no difference) the important criteria I've been looking for but is a time limited offer? (black friday) I feel like I'm getting paralysis by analysis.

>>15742299

unless the kamasu and the mako xl use the exact same case, it's not going to fit because the fit of the end links is very tight. so those bracelets would not be compatible.

>>15742543
Not that anon but Black Friday happens every year. If you still aren’t keen on it a year later you’ll have saved yourself time and money

Which one? Roman numerals or bars? I'm not autistic about cut numerals so it's a non issue for me. Roman numerals one is 1mm thicker and 20usd more

Bar indices. I feel like Roman numerals are too often found on $30 shitters trying to look fancy so they're kinda ruined for me.

>>15742577
Not that other guy but normally I agree with you but those indices look pretty lanky to my eye so I'd get the roman on that watch

>>15742587

>>15742600
Not bad. Idk if it's worth the extra 40 over the sugess

>>15741653
this is the best watch in the entire thread

>>15742600
It's 38mm but acrylic crystal. The sugess comes with sapphire

>>15742600
>16mm thickness
No ok no fuck this

>>15742636
The extra thickness is from the huge acrylic dome but fair enough

>>15742642
Dude that's thicker than my amphibia

>>15742570
They are both 22mm does that matter?

>>15742662
the part that actually connects to the watch needs to have an exact fit with the watch itself otherwise it will not fit on because the shape is different
the orient mako xl and kamasu are two different watches, unless they have the exact same case shape, a bracelet designed to fit a kamasu will not fit onto a mako xl
if you can't understand this you're fucking stupid

>>15742666
Shut it pig any other jubilee bracelets that aren’t flat you can recommend

>>15742676
ok so you are trolling and it's a waste of time to even attempt helping people in these threads

>>15742677
God ur dumb

Best dress watch under $1000?

>>15742677
shut up faggot and get a real watch

>>15742496
Yes it is to be fair but Rolex still have to make the perfect explorer, fuck id take excellent even. Omega got it right with the size and scale of the Aqua Terra 38mm but then didn't put enough lume on the hands.

>>15742499
Nah fuck Rolex, I've had explorer 2, explorer 1 mk2, milguass, sub no date, then I was planing to buy a 2 tone sub or steel daytona and cause myself on. £10k-£17 is out of the Rolex league and I should start looking at ap, vc, pp maybe a lange.

You should be buying a Sub when it comes to rolex as cliche as it sounds and move on. You have a rolex, there are better watches out there. So i have no Rolexs now, I'm just planing my next buy, overseas in blue most likely this year, my other watches will hold me over. I'm glad to be out of the rolex shit fest but when I see people meme 36mm explorers I get triggered because I know what a lad of shit they are, the braclets to the underwhelming size.

I thunk im getting a Sinn. Which Sinn is it? Thinking along the lines of a tool watch that's as autistically German as possible.

>>15742702
Get the thickest one

>>15742698

Thank you for your inputs, very inlighting.

waveceptor outdoor forest edition

>>15742365
They are great, but movement wise they are kinda expensive for using VK63 Seikos in all their chronos.

However, as far as retro design, dial finishing and dimensions go, they are top tier for the price, especially their panda and deco chronos. $250 is honestly forgivable if you like the vintage style.

>>15742577
I ordered the gold variant a few weeks ago, I'll post a pic when it arrives.

I think the gold looks much better and it does a lot of things right especially considering the price.

>>15742761
It's true to the era thought? If you really like the design get it. It seems stupid to get a watch you like less because of a lumed bezel. Youre not taking it diving are you? How often will you use the lume and how often will you look at it during the light of day

>>15742705
Ok but what if I don't want the G-shock on a twink aesthetic

>>15742882
Look I just want one watch because I'm too poor for more than one, so I'm spending months and years researching because it's my last chance in life to have one. Sorry.

>>15742879
I've got five fairly decent luxury watches at this point and I could very easily sell everything but my Pelagos and be very happy. Just have to figure out what style of watch you like best and then find the one that really speaks to you.

>>15742577
i like this one

>>15742475
Any steel 36mm Rolex that isn't a Cellini
>>15742197
Cool, would love to see a pic of how it looks now.
>>15742538
34mm, it's a 74000n.They made loads of different dial variations (mostly for the Asian market) and these pop up every now and then. Expect to pay around 1500, a little more or a little less. Be careful, lots of fake dials, hands and even cases. This has aftermarket hands and glass atm, I have the original ones, but they need to be relumed and can't be arsed to find a new glass. Relatively rare, but not a Rolex so still decently priced.

>>15742879
A Reverso Duoface of whatever kind

One midnight experiment, I fucked up the LCD of this greyed out W-59B-1AVEF with a bracelet from an A168. Now I'm looking for a replacement:
>digital watch
>small, elegant, and out of the way like an F-91W rather than like huge ridiculous g-shocks
>with better water resistance than an F-91W
>shows current time in stopwatch mode (or vice-versa?)
>ability to mute button press beeps (like on 5610 or AE1200)
I would list dual time too but already I can't find a watch that does exactly what I want. I'm considering B640 as closest, specifically black with a non-negative display (B640WB-1A). What are some alternatives?
https://www.casio-europe.com/fr/produits/montres/vintage/b640wb-1aef/

Also what if I got that black bracelet on the W-59? Could be cool too. I would have to get a new module. It's a cheap-ass bracelet but I prefer it because its light weight and comfort matches the small Casios. Plus, you can adjust it on-the-fly. Are there bracelets like that sold separately?

>>15741825
Yeah Mercedes hands in rose gold.
>>15742210
It's a Sub style case on Aliexpress made to fit NH35/36, it came with crown, bezel (no insert) and sapphire crystal.
Here's the bracelet -

>>15742516
I've had the Lunar Pilot for over a year now. It's a pretty cool watch with a nice movement that is a more "sophisticated" quartz chrono.

Be advices that it is p huge with a 45mm dial size though

>>15743071
I wanted one but that thing was not made for wristlets.

Serious question
How do I quit this obsession?

>>15743024
5610 or A168
I have both but I wear a 5600 almost everyday

>>15743071
if the lug-to-lug was <50mm i'd cop in a heartbeat

>>15743095
Close the /wt/ tab and never come back.

Why won't they make a basic three-hander ceramic RO?

Steel ROs are scratch magnets to the extreme, a basic three hander in ceramic would be a huge hit.

>>15743095
You're here forever. The ride never ends

Any thoughts on the Timex Snoopy that's on sale?

>>15743136
>Timex

>>15743130
Is there a way to make ceramic look like metal?

>>15743130
>ceramic cases

>>15743150
You mean silvery?
I dunno. But the current ceramic cases look like black metal.

>>15743155
Everything can break if you hit it hard enough.

>>15743136
other than the slightly big size (for a watch of that style)
the specs and price isnt bad
get it if you like it

Really love this guy, but its been a couple years now and I feel like it's time to get an upgrade.
Do I get a NH36+Sapphire crystal and get a professional to swap it out, or is there a nice watch with better specs and similar design?
>sarb
too big imo

>>15743130
They made a simple offshore in ceramic but apart from that it's reserved for high end pieces because it's a total bitch to work with. They still do all the finishing on those ceramic pieces and bracelets by hand. It takes something like 6 times longer to do compared to the standard metal versions.

>>15743130
I'd like to see a basic 3/4 hander GMT RO or Nautilus but then again I'd never be able to afford it.

Is it possible to wear a Tag Monaco while being a wristlet? Will I be seen as a Steve McQueen LARPer?

>>15742969
>>I've got five fairly decent luxury watches
Which ones?

>>15743183
>Tag Monaco while being a wristlet?
no
you will get overwhelmed by the square shape
i'll look closer to a 43/44 mm due to the diagonal width

>>15743172
Isn't this the model from the Hodinkee article?

DESU I'd check if you could sell it used, I bet the demand is there because it is such a sought after model.

If I were you I'd upgrade to a Swiss entry level mechanical watch. Something like a Tissot Heritage Visodate, Hamilton, Certina, Frederique Constant etc

>>15743095
get yourself one and get it over with

Fuck this watch but I just had to preorder it. I've been thinking about it non-stop. Winter bonus is gone but I've saved up quite a lot of money during the pandemic so whatever. Might aswell treat myself with an expensive shitter before it's too late.

I'm about to do it, someone talk me out of it

>>15743250
Do it

Is it a Mexican ant poison company?

>>15743250
The 1st Ray model was my first automatic watch 5 years ago. It's a great watch and you will be happy with it

I've become obsessed with integrated bracelets. Help me find options that are actually affordable and not just ROs and the like.

>>15743254
Yes, actually

What are best deals websites for Black friday to get watches?

>>15743275
Authentic Watches and Jomashop usually have pretty good sales.

>>15743264
Maurice Lacroix AIkon for around 1300$

Casio EFR-S108 for around 100$

Some Citizens

>>15743172
I got my Seiko 5 upgraded to an NH36 by a watchmaker, certainly possible. I think Crystal times sells fitting crystals

>>15742879
No, it's not a Pipe dream.
Monta, Aqua Terra, Citizen, Seiko etc. come to my mind.

>>15743176
>offshore
I don't like how the movement is small in comparison to the case

>>15743250
Kamasu is unironically the top tier pick for an entry level mechanical, I'd go for the teal version unless you like the blue that much

>>15741151
>build up on the links, salt/sweat corrosion on the sprinks, would probably start losing time and show signs of excesive wear on the components

most rolex watches show no signs of wear after 5 years because they aren't worn, bought to flip

>>15741067
>>15741071
Oh man, it's +1 sec/day now
I should be doing this shit with all my other mechanical watches too

>>15743305
None of that will happen in 5 years retard

>>15742926
Nice, looking forward to it. I'm personally not a gold kind of guy, too many of my accessories are silver or silver colored and I don't like mix and matching gold with it.

>>15742955
There's nothing wrong with having a few shitters in rotation.

>>15743024
>shows current time in stopwatch mode
Casio DB380. Inlook for this feature too and currently only found it on an ae1200 and the db380 and I think the db611 does itntoo butch it's kind of bigger and not what you're looking for.
I'll post a size comparison to an f91 shortly.

>>15743250
aside from being ugly, im sure its a great watch

Here it is next to a standard f91. It's really not much bigger. The db380 is in chrono mode noe, moves the time display to the bottom left of the screen where the year is usually.

>>15743288
>Monta
I never heard about this brand before, now I'm looking it up and the watches look really good. What's the catch, apart from being a noname brand and kind of bullshit model names?

Am I really such a poorfag that the poorfag sticky is too expensive for me? I'm not looking to start a collection or anything i want an /fa/ piece that tells the time.
> Your budget

>>15743381
I can’t be bothered opening the sticky, but you can get perfectly fine Chinese shitters for your budget. Pagani Design, San Martin etc.

>>15743381
an orient mako/ray
>b-b-but it comes on a bracelet I want a strap
buy a strap aftermarket

>>15743384
I'd like to bypass Rolex though, it just seems so retarded that it's the only brand worth getting.

>>15743381
Honestly a pagani design would be your best bet. You won't get better value out of a watch in that prices range than a pagani.

>>15743381
let me give you a redpill most will agree with. get casio as your end watch. casio 5600, casio royale, or any casio under your budget. you will save loads of money

based response. what kind of red dit fag uses that language? do you also say cake day? how about gay orgy day?

>>15741623
no its what fags say. grow some balls and call the holiday by it actual manly sounding name. or do you also not call people by their actual gender but use made up femine terms for imaginary genders too?

>>15743418
you need to live within your means
if your budget to buy a watch is $150 you should stick to that instead of saving up money that you could probably use elsewhere, to buy what is ultimately a luxury. you probably just want to be able to tell time by looking at your hand and for it to not look like dog shit. watches aren't supposed to be expensive, they were just a tool for working men with an element of personalization. all the hype and status and prestige is largely bullshit memes.
an orient mako/ray is $120 all day every day and you get a reliable, good looking watch with enough money left over to get a decent leather strap, and on a leather strap that watch can go literally anywhere for any occasion.
and you can get a $20 plastic casio ae1200 and that's actually a charming-looking watch that's very durable and has loads of features if you feel you ever need a no bullshit quartz backup. even the stock plastic strap is surprisingly supple and while people shill the "metal" one it's just chromed plastic that wears and the regular black look is sharp in its own way.
then, later on, when you can actually afford a better watch, you can buy it if you want it. this "big boy" watch stuff is bullshit, considering grown men who call themselves watchfags are out paying $10,000 for a fucking omega that has snoopy on it

Vostok Komandirskie 65 from meranom, but it's usually sold out very fast. It's more formal than the Amphibia which is a pure diver.

San Martin, Steeldive, Heimdallr for some great Seiko homages and more. They use independent websites but can also be found on AliExpress.

Pagani Design for Rolex homages, found on AliExpress. I think they win in the best value for money ever found in a watch category.

Cadisen has some sleek designs and specs on certain models, also found on AliExpress.

Other great Chinese watches are Seagulls and Sugess.

Some Orients are great, but their super good stuff like the Kamasu are at the 200ish+ price range, the Mako is OK though.

Fish for a second hand Raketa copernicus on ebay for roughly 100 bucks, but be careful with fakes. I honestly think that watch has the best design ever made as far as cheap watches go.

Thanks anon. It's clear i have no idea what i'm looking for but the ae1200 will do the job until i have a better idea. My only concern about something like that is why the hell do i care where in the world am i. i usually know what day of week/where i am etc.
Should I buy straight from casio?

>>15743449
you can get it on amazon for less than $20
tracking a second timezone is not necessary but it's a useful feature to have. maybe you have relatives or friends in other states/countries. it has other good features like a countdown timer, an amazing backlight, and the ability to mute the button operation tone

>>15743438
>>15743381
70 bucks right now. GMT, sapphire glass, proper dimensions that fit a wristlet as well, stainless steel, proper finishing, even the movement is good.

Nothing can beat this as far as value goes. Nothing.

>>15743464
The only issue is you roll the dice on QC.
You might get one with a shitty bezel or a misaligned cyclops

>>15743464
