you know jack shit about watches

556 and 104 are overrated, prove me wrong

>>15828521

I actually just picked a random post to troll while creating the thread, anon. Nothing personal.

Would I be an idiot to buy one of these? I’m looking for a reasonably sized speedmaster homage so I don’t need to deal with the daily winding which really bugs me way more than I thought it would.

>>15828526
Agreed. The only Sinn that's cool is the U1.
Thinking about buying either a blue SMPc or a blue Pelagos. I think the Pelagos will be a highly desirable watch in the future, however the new BB58 in blue has caught my eye. I do like having a date on my watches.

>>15828526

Same can be said about most ETA driven watches. You can only dress up the same movement in so many ways.

What do you guys think about this Rotary watch that apparantly was featured in Sherlock Holmes. I think it's really good looking and very cheap (120 euro) however it's a quartz and apparantly those suck?

What do you guys think? Are there better alternatives to this type of watch (in terms of looks) ?

Thanks

>>15828512

>>15828566

>>15828557
I think you forgot something anon

>>15828572
I'm not the OP of the other one.

are these meme watches?
they dont even look that good and the subdial is useless
but its like $1000 per watch now

>>15828557
Well you forgot your image but I think I know which one you are talking about.

First off quartz doesn't "suck", it's much more reliable and accurate than mechanical watches. It's just a matter of if it's important to you that to have a sweeping hand and/or you find it interesting to own a mechanical timepiece.

If you want a mechanical timepiece in the same style you will have to pay a lot more however. For example, Frederique Constant has similar models but they are ten times the price.

Maybe you can find a chinese shitter but that has other downsides.

>>15828581
If the subdials were white then they would look pretty nice. Ref #?

>>15828566

The other one was created 3 minutes later, that dude is a retard

>>15828557
>>15828575
yeah im a downie

>>15828581

they are a highly sought after models as they are a departure from Seikos traditional style.

also iirc they were jdm models, which makes them even more rare.

>>15828588
It is basically a Breguet homage. It's fine.

>>15828585

>>15828587
There's three /wt/s now.

>>15828588
This is a decent watch which will serve you well.

>>15828557
Rotary's owners, the Dreyfuss family have a small heritage brand named Dreyfuss & Co. where they offer traditionally styled swiss made pieces, including mechanicals with better materials and finishing that Rotary, maybe they have something similar. RRPs are a bit high but they can be had for cheap brand new on the grey market (watchshop, watchhut, etc.) and ebay including discontinued models no longer featured on the brand's site.

>>15828548
>that's not an ass in orange stoking's

>>15828546
If you want a watch like that, you want one of the Heuer Bund lookalikes or similar watches, TAG Heuer itself has a modern (ugly) version, Sinn has a few variants, Guinand has some pretty cheap variants, HKED had a 1:1 copy that isn't available anymore I think, and there's a lot more.

I use it every day, it's amazing for currency conversion and setting up unit scales. It also has a second timezone making it an amazing travel watch.
This thing mogs most GMTs too now that I think about it.

>>15828692
another stunning Seiko, would love to have it in my collezione

-ok ciao

Timex Fairfield yay or nay?

>>15828673
Its the Speedmaster, it's not even close.

•Unitas movement
•Nomos but they are lighter to wind so you might feel differently, they are more refined feeling.
•Stowa, more clicks than the Nomos but more slack.
•ST19...... all 3 of mines feel different and I had a 4th (sold) which was different again, some stiffer, lighter winding, less clicky, quiter and less feedback. Off the 3 the Baltic is the best, the crown is a little small.

>>15828722
Couldn't afford the one with the concentric grooves in the subdials?

Post watches that you regret selling.
I think about this watch more than the Seamaster or Speedmaster I’ve owned. The 38mm size just felt so rugged and compact.

Why are round watches more superior to rectangular watches?

>>15828637
>Rotary's owners, the Dreyfuss family have a small heritage brand named Dreyfuss & Co. where they offer traditionally styled swiss made pieces, including mechanicals with better materials and finishing that Rotary
Too bad all their mens watches are 42mm

>piss and shit dial

Is there a bigger scam than (((tropical dials)))?

>>15828891
it reminds me of a dying sunset on an inky blue ocean, the lines on the dial like waves stretching till the horizon
mysterious, seductive, intriguing, maybe even with a touch of melancholy
i can smell the salty sea breeze, feel the warmth of a beach fire, the aftertaste of whiskey. Distant laughter, maybe a guitar.
patina dials are for people with imagination. You dont get it. Its about the FEEL. Its fully worth $200,000. What a beautiful dial.

Someone posted this Sinn a few threads back and I can't stop thinking about it.

The only issue is I've never heard of the movement they claim to put in it on the website (wtf is a Concepto C9901)

>>15828891
Well who is the bigger idiot? The vintage AD's and auction houses selling old watches with visible wear with some marketing or the people buying them?

Wasting my good pics in fake wt..

>>15828904
WABI SABI on a watch is like age on a fine wine
the visible traces of time on a watch
it doesnt get any more romantic than this
if you are a vintage lover you will likely be a patina connoisseur
what is the value of a watch that is just like all the others?
what use is it trying to fight against inevitability, worrying over every scratch or spot?
patina makes the timepiece one of a kind, unique, yours.

>>15828904
What kind of dumb ass question is that? Of course the retards are "le whoreology enthusiasts". The kike auction houses just look for idiots who lap their shit up, of course they'd take advantage of manchildren with bigger wallets than brains. Who in their right mind would consider a dysfunctional piece of fucking plastic to cost more than an apartment? This world shits out more money than it deserves, truly there's a sucker born every minute

>>15828726
Nah I'm broke

>>15828739
The 2804 has more slack when winding before the gears engage and reverse quite a bit after a wind. The peseaux is far tighter feeling and has more smaller clicks per turn (small wheels / gears). The peseaux feels more refined than the 2804, crown action is better as well, pops better and feels better setting the time but I would say it is a more delicate movement and would take less to break it.

>>15828923
watch collecting by itself is already non logical
why are you triggered by patina?
people buy what they like
if patina makes them happy then why should you care?
it gives old watches a second lease in life
if you want logic and forever-new watches you can just buy 500 f91ws and swap them out when you scratch one.

>>15828870
>good moon phase watches under 100?
gshock g-lide

or save up another $100 and get a sugess moonphase.

i wouldnt pay more than $30 for that pulsar

>>15828655
If it were up to me I'd add a Hi-beat GS.

How do you reverse the black and white on an LCD? I might attempt something like this.

>>15828891
nah thats a pretty dial.

>>15828947
Kinda depends

>>15828712
I can't find the exact one you posted, and yours is the coolest-looking one I agree, but the fairfields all seem to go for ~$80/90+ and they're all 41mm. the width in the pic below yours seems really unnecessary for quartz. iunno, if it weren't for the case size $80 would be ok but I mean it's probably just the same movement as an easy reader or weekender in a fatter case so nah.
if you image search weekender or easy reader you'd be surprised how many styles there are and they're a reasonable size, 38 I think.
I will say I miss indiglo, a version of it really ought to be standard for all quartz imo.

>>15828947
polarizing film out of a camera, or just buy some from aliexpress

>>15828712
Timex quartz movements are cheaply made and not very reliable. If you go look at them at the watch section in Target, they tick so loudly that you can hear them a few feet away, even with the bustle of the store. That could be a plus to you but I wouldn't spend my money on one.

Anyone bought something from Watch Station before?
Is it trustworthy or not?

>>15828732

>>15828588
>cupcake grip

>>15828837
this is the watch thread

>>15828947
You have to remove the polarising film that's probably glued to the module, which is pretty tricky to do without fucking up even slightly (the LCD is quite easy to chip). Then get some replacement film, find the orientation that reverses the display (90° to the orientation for regular display) then cut the film to size and awkwardly glue it on to the LCD.
I did all that with a watch I didn't particularly like and it wasn't really worth it, the visibility was pretty poor, even worse than commercially available reverse displays.

>>15828944
They are so thick

>>15828986
>Timex quartz movements are cheaply made and not very reliable
I'll give you cheap but in my experience they are very reliable.

the ticking was never noticable to me but it is a very divisive thing among watch autists

>>15828863
some of their their ladies models come at a very wearable 36mm diameter though, picrel with a sellita and a huge wooden box could be had for 240 pounds new on the grey market

>>15829070
yes, that is embarrassing. Especially for a watch of that price.

>>15829008
Yeah, Seiko movements in general are too thick and it makes basic watches like the SARB033 look stupid from the side profile. The new Seiko 6L matches the thickness of the ETA 2824 but even then that's hardly an impressive achievement.

>>15829070
Yea there's really no excuse for that. Not even "but it's handmade so of course it won't be perfect". Somehow roger smith manages to make his hand made watches look damn near perfect.

>>15828765
christ what an ugly watch

>>15829090
Th 6L is thinner i think. I think it's the same thickness as a 2893 which is a bit better.

>>15829200
They actually aren't that much cheaper than modern examples due to rarity. A pre-owned modern example would be better value and a better watch.

>>15828665

>>15829279
Even the more recent pre-owned ones are barely cheaper than a new one. As much as I love the watch, not sure if I want to bite that bullet quite yet.

The only Pulsar moon phase you should get is the Galileo (ref. V338). It’s a very simple and beautiful design. It has a small 36mm case, though. The watch you posted has all those sundials that detract from the moon phase complication. In my opinion, a moon phase watch needs to be simple

In UK, Rolex and omega prices seem to have all increased in the last 2 years by around £1000. I owned two omegas and flipped them making around £500 each one and now I want to buy a speedy again and they’re all super expensive! Is this because of the shitty bong pound?

Rolex and Speedy's have gone up globally. The price adjustment due to currency was long before that. Anyone that became unemployed due to Covid couldn't afford watch in the first place.

>>15829434
I read that peak unemployment in U.K. will be March to April so maybe have a look then. Hopefully the confusion with customs will put off European buyers too.

>>15829482
That’s not true. What about pub, shop or restaurant owners which are closing down? or people who export to EU that have found their sales drop like a stone?

>>15829487
too few to make any difference. watch prices have increased since the start of Covid. demand is higher than ever while production this year is lower due to factory shutdowns.

Speedys are reddit.

how heavy does a watch have to be to hit a big brain with

>>15829434
No holidays means more money, so prices go up. Also there is a new speedy pro and FOIS is finally discontinued, so the prices of the old ones are going up, if you want to buy, buy now because the prices are not going down.

Guns are inanimate objects fren. They are available in nearly every country in the world with a license or registration and the precision and craftsmenship appreciation is similar to that of watches

Good men. My cz bolt action is fun

I only come here when I’m depressed and bored of life. My brain tells me that a shiny new watch would make me feel more happy but I know it won’t. I binge watch reviews and try and justify paying £3000 for a watch.
Why am I like this?

What kind of watches age with style? I mean which watches look even better when they're scratched up a bit?

>>15828708
>I use it every day, it's amazing for currency conversion
Explain, in clear English, how you would convert €3,72 to USD in real time using that watch. Please.

>>15829692
If you spend $3k on a watch just make sure you fucking love it and plan on wearing it for a long ass time. Obviously you could get away with a cheaper watch, but theres no shame in wanting a nice time piece. The issue comes from when you are never happy with what you have and are constantly looking for the “next” watch to complete your “collection.” Buy what you like. What you'll enjoy. And not what will be cool to show off to autists on 4chan

>>15829710
Anything with a bezel

>>15829701
I'd go the speedmaster personally. I was thinking about going full baby boomer and doing the equivalent of going to a few car dealerships around town and test driving

Get a few on the wrist and go from there. Want something on a steel bracelet, other wise I would have already went with a first omega in space

Yes. Great pick

Hello. I am after a watch. I have about $1000 to spend. I have an intellectual disability. I work at a box factory. I like a Seiko tuna because it is big and easy to read and seems tough enough to wear at work. My finance guardian said no more than $1000. Is it a good choice?

Tisso or Tissot?

Should I buy a Flieger watch? Or are they wrist fedoras?

>>15829755
yes fliegers are fedora larp tier

>>15829746
it's a pretty great watch actually, it looks cool and masculine, it will serve you forever and will take a serious beating, also it's quartz which is more convenient and more accurate technology

>>15829746
Tunas are awesome so yes.

Why do people HATE this BRAND?

>>15829780
>trying too hard to catch up to the popularity of Patek and AP
>Iron Cross
That Maltese Cross logo isn't doing them any favours to normies.
Traditionnelle small seconds is the GOAT dress watch however.

>>15829755
fliegers are tactical minimalism
if you want an easy to read watch but dont want bauhaus stuff then they are good for you
and theres actually quite a big similarity between field watches and type B fliegers.

>>15829789
yeah the iron cross is a tough sell, pretty sure my boss would pull me over if i wore this in the office (german)

>>15829780
Because if you wore a Nazi cross on your watch you're probably gonna get fired the moment someone sees it.

Imagine if you worked at a school and a student saw it and reported it to your boss.

>>15829775
This is only true with tool watch designs, with sharp corners and angles. Diver styles work best with PVD/DLC.

>>15829780
They don't hate it but when it comes to sports watches all those other brands make better models.

>>15829797

is there an homage to this in the $5k bracket?

The blue dial overseas which is the best looking one is a lot harder to get than the other colors. It's still not wait list preferred buyer tier but it's getting there.

Redpill me on Bulova. I'm looking for a low-end vintage dress watch, but I don't want to look like a grandpa mall ninja.

>>15830337
They were one of the great american watch companies. Tuning forks are based though

>>15830337
a very eclectic brand with long heritage, known for their tuning-fork regulated Accutron, making fieldwatches for the US military during WW2, having the only other watch to be on the moon besides Omega , and their electrostatic drive Spaceview

now owned by Citizen, they largely make entry-mid quartz shitters. Most are unremarkable, some are rather quirky (the bulova cruv). The relationship between bulova and citizen is like the one between orient and seiko, a largely laissez faire one.

>>15830362
seiko pogue was on the moon as well
https://www.dreamchrono.com/2013/11/seiko-6139-pogue/

>>15830367
Why do all the moon watches have a tackymeter?

>>15830367
no, it was only in space, not on the moon
read the article

the only moonwatches are omegas and that one bulova

>>15830372
Didn't a g-shock also went to space recently

>>15830372
I stand corrected. My bad.
Invicta is also a space watch lol

>>15830378
Which Invicta went to space?

>>15830186
>>15830154
not a moonphase fuckwit

>>15830382
>On December 8th, 2012 Invicta teamed with physicist, Bejamin Longmier- PhD in Plasma Physics from the University of Wisconsin and Founder of Project Aether for the most significant time endurance mission to date; The Invicta Edge of Space Watch Project.
>Invicta launched 36 timepieces to the edge of space and documented every step of the remarkable journey via video. The watches were secured on specially designed, structured payloads made of lightweight carbon fiber.
>The entire mission was filmed using highly specialized cameras and equipment that was able to withstand the unique nature of the project given weather, speed of travel and the atmospheric nature of the process.
>Working closely with Benjamin Longmier, we were able to determine exactly what these watches were exposed to during their deployment to reach these exceptional heights and their journey returning to earth.
>This collaboration was the 1st of its kind. No other watch company has put their timepieces to the test in such a significant and exciting way. New frontiers of accomplishment and ability, fortitude arrived. An expedition that only Invicta time could successfully handle, and did.

literally just attached them to balloons lmao

>>15830409
>invicta 8926
How do we know it's one of those? Looks like a dozen different divers

>>15830411
it's been discussed on Watchuseek before. If you super interested give it a bit of a search, but it's well known he wore one.

If you buy into 'it's been to the moon!' or 'it was on everest!' or whatever thats fine. I don't think it matters personally. The Speedmaster is a very cool watch without you buying into the mythology behind it.

>>15828547
Get the pelagos. I tried both before going with the black, it just goes with more outfits.

>>15830416
>AD says I can immidiately buy a Sea Dweller if I buy a Pelagos
but why

I love the look of this Bulova, but at 41mm it's too large for what I want it for. Do you know of anything in the 36mm-38mm range that looks like this and is as inexpensive as possible? I'll wear it maybe a half dozen times in my life, I just want something that looks like this to go with my outfit for a special event.

>>15830429
>AD says I can buy a watch if I let him breed my ass

Is anyone else a wimp when it comes to scratches or do you embrace the patina (especially on divers/non-dress watches)?

>>15830137
That's not a compliment

I'm going to get a blue shitter on a bracelet and I've narrowed it down to the following:
San Martin Nautilus
Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire
Maurice Lacroix Aikon
Zelos Horizons
Help me decide, /wt/

Recycle
>>15828520
>>15828520
>>15828520

>>15829936
For that budget I'd go with a Casio Oceanus T200, but that's because I like blue dials and appreciate quartz.

>>15830518
If the whole name as a logo thing doesn't bother you then I'd get the c60

Does it make me a fag that I want an Elvis-owned watch?

timeless

>>15829090
All the Seiko movements derived from the 7000 series (so 7S, 6R anf 4R) are thick because of the magic lever auto winding that sits between the rotor and main bridge. It's thinner than the early designs that just had a full auto winding bridge slapped on originally hand-winding movements, but can't be made much thinner. Some 9S Grand Seikos use it too, though it's flipped to the underside of the bridge. You really need reverser wheels on the same level as the train to get really thin auto movements, like the 6L and the new GS movement have. Ironically, Seiko already had several good thin mainstream designs with reverser wheels in the 60's and 70's, but threw them all away (except the 52 series, which was resurrected as 4S and quickly moved to expensive pieces only).

>>15830559
Life is too short to care what other people think of your personal tastes

>>15829832
You can get a Patek Calatrava for $5k in that style, but quartz movement. Automatic movement will be close to $10k. The clasp alone will be about $3k, though.

>>15830518

Replying here too because the other thread actually looks useless.

Cool options.

The San Martin Nautilus looks dope, but I would pass just for the protruding endlinks problem. Even my $30 shitter does better than that, There is no excuse for this horror.

The C. Ward is super nice, but it looks impossible to dress up. May or may not be a problem for you.

Zelos watches are all over the place, but wh am I to judge. Pic related.

The Aikon feels like the safe choice. Some people belittle it as a APRO homage, but I think that it looks unique enough to keep a place in your collection regardless of what you'll get afterwards.

>>15829712
You line up the current exchange rate and look at the number opposing 37.2, It's not hard.

I'm looking for a moonphase only watch, no hands or anything else on the dial. Also a day/night watch with only a representation of day and night remaining - that would be a very complicated complication, tho.

>>15830491
With the exception of dress watches, if a watch is not scratched, either its owner is caring way too much, or he never wears it. Both are sad to me.

Unrelated :
I hesitating between three watches for an everyday wear :
Citizen Chronomaster AQ4030-51L
Wempe Iron Walker
Monta Noble

Any opinion?

>>15830600
>>15830555
Alright. Thanks for the response, anons. I think ill be going with the CW since I've really only heard good things about their quality (plus I like the design a lot).

>>15830621
Uh, once it's set it's set, no need to google it.

When you are travelling, getting the real-time exchange rate doesn't matter much.

I love the oversea esq Wempe in terms of looks
Wempe > Citizen > Monta

The monta is a nice looking watch but the other two have a clear x factor

elvis was super cool and so is that watch

Happy new year

>>15830765
Thanks for your feedback.

In the end I went for the Monta, your comment made me realise that the dégradé was the X factor for me.

Having handled the other ones, they are super neat, its just that the Citizen's design is a little to cold for what I want it to be (engagement watch), and the Wempe... Well, it would just remind me that I want an Overseas but will probably never spend this kind of silly money.

Now that it's ordered, I have no regret. So I guess that it was the right decision for me.

>>15831650
Ive been looking at the wempe for a while Id love one not sure if it would scratch the vc itch or feed it.

The monta is a cool looking watch, i thimk fume dials are starting to grow on me recently.
