CHUFFED TO BITS

What are some watches that look like this but don't have the dumb "traser" logo/brand? It just looks so stupid.

Someone said I should add a FOX FIRE G-Shock to my Casio collection. I just won this on Yahoo.jp for £30-ish, I'm going to put a replacement bezel & strap on it as they're pretty busted.

>>15770935
Nice, what service do you use?

>>15770841
>my first experience
He probably wants to sell you the crap that no one else buys

>>15770907
I end up having a 40 minute conversation about random watches with one of the guys in my local JLC boutique. It all started when I wanted to try their 40mm chrono+triple calendar

>>15770940
Buyee

Discuss.

>>15770935
gonna get mine soon, does it pair well with silver rings?

>>15770975
I tried on a used Lo Scienziato at a boutique in Aspen. Can’t remember what they wanted for it, maybe $60k. It’s a big fucker at 47mm but very lightweight because it’s made mostly out of titanium. The skeletonized dial, tourbillon and movement were of course totally stunning.

How often do you guys grease your seals?

Opinions on unitas 6497/6498 movements?

asking again from the last thread. any good watches under $350 with an emerald dial for wristlets? chrono24 only has seiko shitters from the 70's of dubious quality

How did you guys get into watches? Do people comment on them?

>>15771130
Liked watches since I was a kid. Couldn't afford to buy any until I finished university and started working.

>>15770836
I cant believe I want this shitter

>>15771130
>Do people comment on them?
no

>>15771089
Seemed reliable. I'm thinking about taking the plunge and buying an old pocket watch and some tools and trying to service one. Seems fun and it's a movement that is easy to learn on apparently. Fills out a caseback nice too

When will 3D printing or whatever is the next step after that get so good that you can just get most of a watch out of a machine if you give it a design file (maybe not at home, but at least from a service provider) for a reasonable price? I guess that would truly DISRUPT THE INDUSTRY. I totally would download a watch.

As someone who repairs vintage watches as a hobby I'd mostly be interested in the same process for spare parts though. Fuck collectors and their all original bullshit. I like watches that work. Most of my time is spent waiting for single parts coming from a guy in god knows where.

>>15771150
MEMS is already being used to print watch components.

Newfag here, last time I asked I ended up with more question than answers, so I'm gonna ask again and properly this time: keep in mind that I don't know shit about movement and the likes, I just need a nice watch that would look nice and won't die on me after a year or two
Casio Edifice EFV110-D or Seiko 5? My budget is 70-80 yuros and I've managed to find both of them around that price

>>15771175
Just get one from a Happy Meal.

Do companies bother servicing advanced in-house movements or do they just toss them out?

>>15771137
its all sold out, 100pcs limited ed
theres one on ebay for 300% the msrp, lel.

>>15771175
>just need a nice watch that would look nice and won't die on me
edifice 100%

seiko5 is nice but mechanical watches need babying, you have to be aware of what you can or cannot do while wearing one

>>15771183
Pretty much every advanced in-house movement would cost more to replace entirely than the labour cost of having a watchmaker service it. Just as an example, the only Omega movement or part of a movement that is replaced rather than being serviced are the Dubois Dépraz chronograph modules used on the Speedy reduced movement.

still a watch newfag. what's the word on the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time series? Looks like the green dial i'm looking at can be had for around $350

>>15771175
Don't worry, no casio is going to die on you in a year or two.Go for the Seiko 5, much more versatile without a metal bracelet.

>>15771164
>Field, Beater and Diver should really become one.
What if you're too poor for that though.

>>15771204
one of the perennial choices around here for a dress watch but they have their own share of nitpicks like being a tad too big (this is true for almost all seiko dress watches) and "too flashy". The domed mineral crystal is a scratch magnet too.

(honestly if there was a middle ground between the gents (40.5) and ladies (34) it would be better)

get it if you like it

>>15771043
It’s more like an art piece to be honest. 47mm is insanely big unless you are Schwarzenegger size anyway and paying $60k+ on top makes it a hard sell. I think they retailed at like $150k+ though...you’d have to be a real Panerai nut to buy one. I’d have a hard time spending that kind of money on a Panerai over a Patek or Lange anyway if I had the money, which I certainly don’t.

>>15771130
Had exactly one guy ever comment on my watch. Vast majority of people just don't care.

>My daily wear?
>Yeah it's the Casio MDV106 DURO, it's my favorite watch too
>Too big? What the heck are you talking about anon I actually think it's a little small on my 9in wrists.

>>15771130
have feelings for a guy and bought a seiko5 for him
part of that was researching about watches and so i got hooked

yes

>>15771089
chink? they're completely unlubed

>>15771175
casio because it will actually keep time. Upgrade to one of the sapphire edifices or a kinograph for the true chadsio experience.

Seiko 5's are made for little SEA wrists, they look like toys on anyone else.

Wearing an Edifice makes you look like every overweight IT tech in the United States. Between the 5 and the Edifice, 5 comes out on top even at 37mm.

>>15771222
tl;dr "yes"

>>15771264
What the fuck are you talking about you dumb nigger?
the shitko 5 is the most basic bitch plebbit watch there is.
If I see someone with an edifice, especially one of the rarer ones, I know that not only are they into watches, they're knowledgeable enough about them to not just be a dumb consoomer.

>>15771220
they really are too big aren't they

>>15771234
No, swiss. The one's I've looked at seem a bit overpriced though. For example this Tissot is around $1000.

>>15771269
I just see a poorfag with a poorfag casio, ew.

>>15771286
Front. The current version doesn't say antimagnetique anymore.

>>15771264
Funny that, being in yurop, I always notice boring men in their late 30s or early 40s, while being of a slavic descent, they tend to wear a titanium anadigi quartz piece as it is THE MOST reliable and care-free. Their spouses can also easily find a christmas present watch at the local mall at a relatively reasonable price (under €200). Citizen, Casio. all on a metal bracelt, of course. Radio controlled? Extra points. I have seen too many to call it an obscurity.

>>15771286
They do tend to be expensive. For reference the movement is 200 bux new and pretty niche compared to an ETA 2824 so 1000 is probably the cheapest you'll get it in a watch unless you can find one discounted on the grey market. Stowa sells their 6498 watch's for €1200 or something but they are decorated very nicely. Think archimede sell theirs for €800 but its undecorated. For some reason the germans love using that movement

>all this relentless Casio shilling for multiple threads in a row
You guys are taking the piss right?

>>15771322
Probably just because people can only afford cheap watches. Back when /wt/ was on /g/ it was filled with vostok [pretty comfy times actually].

>>15771295
>>Funny that, being in yurop, I always notice boring men in their late 30s or early 40s, while being of a slavic descent, they tend to wear a titanium anadigi quartz piece as it is THE MOST reliable and care-free.
It's just because in poor countries they're presented in shopping mall boutiques as the most expensive option, so poor people end up with a $500 Edifice as their "nice watch" i'ts pretty sad.

What watch would Jimmy wear?
1950s, robust as to take to shocks of firearm recoil and fisticuffs, good WR as to keep off all manner of fluids including blood and petrol mixes in molotovs and petrol applications. Antimagnetism wasnt really such a deal back then because of few sources of magnetism in a normal life in general. Elegant and fitting under a cuff.

Vostok faggotry was fucking worse. Casio shitposting is actually creative. Vostok faggotry was just a circlejerk of people who were serious about it. They knew everything and had coping mechanisms for everything but somehow only one faggot regulated his own vostok. I expect fans of soviet shitters to be also masters in DIY shit about the watch.
>>15771322
There is no casio shitposting.

>>15771389
This is the first watch where I can honestly, truly say that the scratches actually make it look better.
Be still my beating heart.

>>15771394
>regulated his own vostok
What's the point? I like vostok but the positional variation is so horrible on those it's pointless.

>>15771389
>>15771397
That's awesome. I had no idea they did a version like that. I'm normally not a fan of the haute stainless sports watches but that thing is cool as hell.

>>15771389
>>15771397
Wasn't it some one off special made for a climber going up Everest as part of a marketing campaign? I don't think they ever had any plans to make a similar production model.

>>15771403
It's the first RO derivative that actually does something unique.
They'd have to be out of their minds if they don't make an entire line out of this.

>>15771407
>I don't think they ever had any plans to make a similar production model.
But anon, they simply HAVE to.

>>15771401
Even in watches with lots of positional variance and worn vs. resting variance you can still try to center the spread by regulating the watch. Do so well and should easily be possible to get most entry level mechanical movements to run withing +/- 5 SPD in use.

Also, I think positional variation might be a bit overemphasized relative to worn vs. resting rate, which has more to do with the stability of the timing rate while being subjected to the constant small shocks of being worn. Even free sprung balance movements with minimal positional variance will often still have a noticeable difference in timing performance when worn vs when resting.

>>15771401
I heard different stuff and some managed to actually get a better time. Vostoks vary, some might be, but some might be easy to regulate. I would have tried, just for the sake of enthusiasm. Some pirated watch regulator app could already do.

>>15771389
Looks like a mall shitter desu.

>>15771411
If they take it to production, they really should put a balance bridge on the movement to match the rugged theme of the watch.

>>15771411

>>15771432
It's distressed from being worn.
It's brushed titanium with a polished bevel.

>>15771519
You may also want to check the level of water resistance. Basically:
>anything below 100M water resistance
It can get wet, splashed, but even being splashed is a risk. Just try to avoid getting the watch wet.
>100m
You can swim in it and it can get wet and shake it off but you don't want to push it. Generally you will not have to worry about water unless you are literally caught in a typhoon
>200m
You basically don't have to worry about water, realistically, unless you are an actual scuba diver

>>15771519
The recoil impluse is relatively soft, compared to a drop from a several height onto a hard ground. The weakest link will be your clasp. I have had mine undone while shooting a 9mm. Id imagine a short barrel REAL FUCKING NATO would make away with anything less than a strap with fixd holes or a perlon or some shit.

>>15771545
My man is right, quartz casios for most of the time extremely robust, cheap and widely available even in bumfuckistan, needing but a battery after several years. Some chairforce pilots will wear a mechanical flex piece, but they dont ever actually use their watches for other than to impress stewardesses, no calculating of fuel consumption or other similar meme. They have a zillion of cockpit tools at their disposal unless they fly WWI biplane or some shit.

I don't own a single watch with an open caseback because thats basic as fuck

I wish I could afford this, it's practically perfect for my tastes and it would be a one-and-done watch for me :(

>>15771704
I could easily buy 100k worth of watches today. But I'd rather use that 100k to live from in my trading account. I own a seamaster professional, gshock 5600, seiko skx013 and an a168. I wear the casios more than anything. Go fuck yourself richfag.

Anyone else know this guilty feel?

>>15771707
>doesn't affect timekeeping
It does
>However, as is often the case in watchmaking, enhancing aesthetic appeal is not a purely gratuitous operation. While Geneva’s watchmaking has long been known for its refinement and its ornamentation, its Côtes or stripes also serve a third purpose, since these scratches create a rough surface that picks up dust. In the age of pocket watches with open backs, this ‘particle trap’ was about as much use as a poultice on a wooden leg. But as cases gradually came to be closed and thus far more airtight, Côtes de Genève took on new importance. During the early phases of industrialisation in the watchmaking valleys, the hunt for dust was simply no longer practically feasible. Côtes de Genève were a partial response to this problem, since this finish served to capture the microparticles flying around the workshops and to prevent them from settling in lubricants and on movement jewels or pivots. So useful did they prove that the German watchmakers of the Saxony region also adopted them, albeit under the name of Glashütte stripes.

>>15771707
>le hand finish doesn't affect timekeeping
There are functional aspects to movement finishing that do directly affect timekeeping in terms of friction, tightness of tolerances, precision of fit, etc.

Purely decorative finishing is an artform. It doesn't have to be be practically useful for people to appreciate the care, attention, and skilled hand labour that goes into applying it.

Then you should be able to pull it off. I think the integrated band that swells it out adds to how big it looks. The watch is really cool, the negative display is what it is but clearer than most, and the reverse backlight looks sweet. I'm just not man enough for it.

>>15771784
Theoretically g shock might be more durable?? You can get g shocks with triple sensor too, but they're probably both fine.

>>15771560
They have plenty of "Tough solar" models in different styles.
Everything in the pic is solar powered

>>15771784
Protek is a bit less rugged, but with more utility, from what I have read, it's the watch that military use along gshocks and other lesser quartzs. I would say that unless you are gonna hit hard the watch and will use the functions, protrek is the way.

>>15771797
>You can get g shocks with triple sensor too
Yeah, they look like massive tanks though like - >>15771701 while Protrek looks more normal though. I didn't know there were these tacticool inverted display Protreks, always thought they had lame colorful designs.

Could see this overtaking the royal oak or nautilus some day. Maybe the hype for those pieces will last forever though, I dunno.

I have plenty of watches but I recently have been interested in pocket watches. The model in particular that I want is the Seiko conductors model. I would keep it in the pocket watch pocket of my jeans, probably no chain just a small wrist strap.

Good idea or too ridiculous for casual daily wear? (jeans, long sleeve flannel shirts, boots)

>>15771848
literally just look at your phone at that point. dont get me wrong i love wrist watches but wrist watches now are completely different from pocket watches. the point of a wrist watch is convenience, a pocket watch isnt, again, you have your phone

although convinience, utility and durability are big aspects of a watch, the mechanism, desing and fashion are also very important, if your style goes with it, get a pocket watch, specially if you can get creative with the cord

>>15771885
If they really add a master co-axial escapement to the MOTFM it would make the watch a bit less of an egregious rip-off. they need to step up the external finishing on it as well. It's embarrassing how hard the external finishing on the steel 321 dunks on the MOTFM at present.

Why did they never make any more of these?

>>15772099
probably because it's fucking boring

>>15772099
because there can only be ONE explorer

>>15772083
>It's embarrassing how hard the external finishing on the steel 321 dunks on the MOTFM at present.
It’s not surprising considering the 321 retails for $14k and until recently you could get a moonwatch for ~$3.5k grey market. I assume the new movement (and significantly higher price) will entail better finishing, but you never know with Omega. They have some real greedy fuckhead executives over there.

It's back in stock lads!
They fixed the bracelet issue so you can now use all 4 micro adjust holes.
I should warn i saw a few complaints that the brushing on the case in between the lugs isn't as nice as it is on the rest of the watch, you can catch some tiny glimpses of it on some of the youtube reviews.

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005001586987013.html

>>15772107
Obviously i'm not expecting them to match the external finishing of the 321, but they really shouldn't leave the gap as large as it is now, especially with the price hike,

>They have some real greedy fuckhead executives over there.
Very true, but at least they have been cleaning up their act a bit for the last several years. Omega's used to have literally Tissot tier external finishing 10 years ago, along with movements that were regularly eating themselves kek.

The gold YM on rubber never impressed me until one of my friends bought one and I saw it up close. Really cool. The steel sports fad has kind of turned me off Rolex and I’m more interested in the precious metal models, but fuck me they are expensive. I know that if I ever bought a gold Rolex I’d have a voice in the back of my mind saying I should’ve bought a Lange or something.

>>15772134
My wrists are 7.5"

>>15772305
Yeah my issue with the solid gold Rolex models, beyond the comically inflated prices for what amounts to a few thousand $ worth of gold. Is that they are too soft and I think if you actually wore one daily for a decade or so it would get absolutely beat to shit unless you very carefully babied it. Or you would be polishing bit constantly and eventually end up with something half the size of the original watch.

They are nice, longer than the cheap ones from amazon, a little more pliable etc. but not anything super amazing.

how safe is buying from chrono24, do I have any protection as a buyer?

>>15772355
>Get a zulu, they're way better.
Zulus are probably the worst of any of the nato strap variants. The best are the adjustable single pass natos. Or if you want to fuck around with excessive lengths of fabric the elastic marine national straps are okay. Zulus are dogshit

>>15772366
They offer an escrow account for ordering from some sellers, it's about as safe as buying things online gets.

>nato inspired velcro straps?
Really only okay for NASA larping, maybe okay for throwing on a beater.
>mn vs parachute straps
The paratrooper straps like the ones cheapest nato sells are probably more comfortable and easy to use then the full blown MN straps. They might be a little less secure since the free end isn't captured and everything is held with friction so i would want to wear it around the house for a while and make sure i felt confident it would stay put before i wore it out doing things.
>diver velcros too?
I don't really like hook and loop + water. It's fine and stays together no problem submerged but i think it would get dirty and smell if you were actually wearing it in the ocean frequently. I think rubber is best for the water but really all this is subjective and mostly personal preference.

Yeah, you just have to get the right size. Not one of the tiny ones, and not one of the super giant modern ones either.
It's probably more versatile in stanless steel and on a bracelet. But that's less fun than yellow gold on leather.

>>15772244
great

>>15772444
Jesus Christ the bracelet is vomit inducing on that watch. If you're going to dress down a tank, put it on an EULIT perlon or something, don't get that hideous bracelet.

>>15772444
>Not one of the tiny ones, and not one of the super giant modern ones either.

So the quartz midsize 34mm version I guess? (from what I have seen the smaller is about 28mm and the XL 40mm)

>>15772454
Yes, I have seen some pictures and reviews and the bracelet looks like shit, for that watch I like the look of the leather/other, or maybe milanese.

>>15772454
I don't see how the bracelet offends

>>15772479
Yeah the 34mm, obviously it's best if you can try it on in person.
I agree with milanese or leather if you you don't like the bracelet, maybe perlon like the other anon suggested.

Casio oceanus s100 or whatever is really nice if you want a nice quartz (solar, tough movement, world time, autocorrecting seconds hand, radio sync)

It has great features sapphire glass, titanium, looks good, sets itself by receiving radio time broadcasts. Has a really tough movement, solar charging so one you set it you won't have to do anything with it other than wear it for at least a decade when you will need to replace the rechargable battery.

thank you sir.

I got the Oris x Momotaro edition (which is the collaboration with Momotaro jeans). The strap is denim with a leather lining. It's incredible quality, but obviously very niche/casual. To many it's corny, but to me it's just youthful and playful. I agree abour rubber being a good choice for daily wear. It'd be more suitable for a diver too, but I think a vintage style leather strap could look cool too.

Seems like 1 step forward, two steps backward. All the powermatic 80 watches that are the same price as the 2824 equivalent have plastic escapements. While I don't mind the lower beat rate at all and applaud the free-sprung balance and longer power reserve, the plastic escapement is a fatal flaw that can't be ignored. If I had to choose between a powermatic 80 or a 2824 for the same price, I'd go with the 2824. Did a bit of online shopping and found that most powermatic 80 watches have a 2824 equivalent for the same price.
