How're you holding up /wt/?

You don't have any watches OP

>>15852891
This is the official wt

>>15858009
no, fuck that thread.

>>15858003

That's a tough conundrum. If you know you're out of the city in 2-3 years, then you definitely shouldn't buy now, but that also means you shouldn't buy a watch now either. Put the money of a watch towards the house in 3 years time in the new city.

We don't know what will happen economically, so you should play it safe that way. Honestly, that's what I'd do...forget the watch, focus on the business aspect until you're secure. 500 can go a long way if invested instead of lost on a watch.

>>15858009
Sorry, we just finished the last thread....so I baked a new one.

>>15858008
It's been interesting, but I'm drunk and late. How you doing Anon? Any new watches in the pipeline?

Is this the autism general?

>>15858020
No, but autism contributes to the discussion heavily, as it does with weapons, cars, or chess.

Fuck your Google searched pics and post your fucking watches

>>15858024
Nice Bulova!

>>15858012
But it gets back to the point of my seiko5 dying. I just want something to replace it. Disposable is ok because of the housing thing, which is why I was looking at the orient maestro. Compliments per $ seems decent, and being 28 now vs 35 in 7 years will be a huge change. I do feel old now, but by then I expect to have housing and wife figured out for the long term. That's a massive deal there.

>>15858027
Thanks!

>>15858029
Well, your first choice of the Orient looked good, as well as the other pics you posted. For what you are looking for (i.e. disposable watch that looks good) those are fine choices. You have to remember that you waded into a pool with autists who debate over every detail of watches new and historical, so perhaps the extra attention to detail is not only unnecessary but also off the point.

I really do think though that you should try doing a blanket search on Amazon for 'open-heart' watches. They'll really fulfill what you need at an extremely low budget. That's what I'd recommend, anyway.

>>15858031
I've been thinking about an accutron for years...but given how few people can service them, I've been scared off. What's your experience with them? I'm thinking specifically of a Spaceview...

>pic obviously not related

Just got my Vintage cal. 592 Alpina from the 50s and polnisches its acrylic crystal. Still need to clean the case a bit.

Holy shit will the retarded autist finally stop spamming the thread.

>>15858089
the only autist here is you

>>15858020

Wow. Was looking for a slick chrono and I guess you just delivered.

Thx anon

>>15858020
>chapter ring and dial is one single piece so misalignment will never happen

why didnt seiko do this?

Really wish Casio sold individual straps. I like the colors on this A700W but the Milanese band would look much nicer on it. Might bite the bullet and buy the 60 dollar one and then swap the bands or put a nato strap on it.

Have a nice work week, boys

Is the Seiko SNK809 a pretty good watch?

>>15858188
its a very (very.) basic watch, but good for what it is
that is not the stock strap, the stock strap is terrible and not worth using
if you are going for the black dial you should get the bracelet one instead (809K1 instead of 809K2)
the crown is small and recessed and its not fun to adjust (and i have pretty small fingers too)
7s26 is not very accurate, and they often run like 25s fast

My first automatic watch back in 2008, great watch for a teenager but not for an adult if you ask me.

>>15858008
Alright. My watch got held up at customs. I resent the info they requested but still nervous something went wrong

>>15858008
Pretty good, got a new watch arriving today or tomorrow

>>15858008
I'm nervously waiting for my new watch today, hoping that the package hasn't been opened and stolen by some asshole.

After that I'm just waiting for pic related to release, then I'm purging my collection.

I think I'm going to take advantage of the sperglords who are upset by the changes to the new Speedmaster and sell my old one to upgrade, thoughts?

>>15858250
What kind of watch did you get?

>>15858257
Post pics when it arrives.

>>15858269
Why settle for a homage when you can get the real deal?

Happy monday, watchtrannies

>>15858278
> Why settle for a homage when you can get the real deal?
I'm not spending thousands to get what I intend to be a beater watch. If you can, good for you.

Absolutely loving my new watch. It’s running at around +5 seconds a day which is a bit disappointing but I guess I’ll regulate it one day.

>>15858020
Hello, handsome.

>>15858332
Your upset that it's gonna be accurate to the minute over the length of a week?

>>15858348
high frequency fags are way higher on the spectrum than the average mechanifag

>>15858348
I'm just used to HAQ so yea. I like to set and forget but I'm definitely not that bothered by it.

>>15858349
Yes probably. However a watch has one very simple task and so I prefer it to do the task well.
All in all, I love this watch though. Looks great and is a really nice size for a 70s watch.

>>15858351
Then buy quartz

That is fuckin sick. Love it.

>>15858384

>>15858393
At least the animefags don't take themselves seriously.
And I like to think that every collection needs a stupid flashy watch.

>>15858414
Carriers and customs are used to it, I don't see why it should cause you any problem.

>>15858447
I'm disproportionately unlucky and your statement makes me believe it even more

>>15858169
Same to you, anon. I'm a big fan of the watch and coffee combo!

I love the colours of this Orient but I fear that finding a bracelet with roughly the same color as the case is going to be a pain.

I've decided my next vintage shitter will be one of these

>>15858121
For the love of God do not put a NATO on that.

>>15858121
you know you can buy milanese straps and they are interchangeable, right?

>>15858121
just get some ~10$ china milanese

My soul hurts. I worked ot, graveyard, and holiday just to have my watch get sent back. I really want to hurt myself

>>15858349
>high frequency
it's the lowest-frequency tuning fork watch ever made

>>15858008
I am waffling between 4 different watches, which suggests that either I want them all and should work towards it or that I'm indecisive and shouldn't get any at all.

>>15858581
If you are new to watches, that means that you shouldn't get any, or at least that you should wait for a while.
Don't be stupid like me.

are u okay ? you seems very triggered for a basic men watch

>>15858607
But why

>>15858641
That watch is on the wrist upside down.
And yes, it's a very "mature women"-ly watch.

>>15858645
I was told it was because I listed two prices for two bands on the details order sheet but I kept telling them there's two bands in the package im losing my shit

>>15858457
Fuck off.

I'm looking for a classic everyday sport watch.
I'm looking for the most accurate automatic watch, that I can just wear everyday and not worry about (so good anti-magnetism, WR, tough).
Ideally an Explorer or Aqua Terra, but one isn't available (or 7-8K) and I'm wondering if 4K as a first "luxury" watch is worth it and if it will retain its value.
I have an 18cm wrist, Day would be nice but not obligatory.

>>15858499
That’s just the lighting. Strapcode makes a solid bracelet for the Triton, with brushing that ,arches up to the watch head

>>15858729
You can get used Aqua Terra for 4k easily, probably less if you don't mind the 3 o'clock date older models. That is a very good sport watch, well proportioned, unique, contemporary and youthful but still simple, nice details, excellent antinagnetic movement, METAS certified and water resistant enough for most anything.

>>15858729
Aqua Terra is cool. You can get one used from even an overpriced place like Crown and Caliber for mid to high $4000 range

This is by far the ugliest, but best built watch I have in my collection. I suppose the PVD two tone thing fits well with my darker clothing palette and I detest nylon straps. This is going into my “daily beater/ I don’t give a shit if it gets scratched” repertoire. Thanks for reading my blog post

>>15858589
I've seen 3 of them in person, each is impressive in their own way.

>>15858761
LMFAO who the fck would be paying that kind of money for a "couldn't afford a Rolex" watch that's literally a copy of the OP/Explorer?

>>15858024

YALL NEVER HEARD OF INVICTA SHIEETTTTT

>>15858791
Unless you have a sub-1k, maybe even a sub $300-500 budget, I think that it should be the bare minimum for your watch to impress you. (Beaters aside, and even then I'm a fan of mine.)

Thoughts on seiko spring drive? how does the 9R compare to say an omega 8800.

>>15858890
They're both round, so basically the same, just some parts inside are different but unless you're taking the watch off your wrist you can't even really see them.

I’m in love.

>>15858914
You fags are so boring, much like most modern Rolex watches. I had an 114270 Explorer for 2 months and flipped it. I'd rather have that AT for $2,000 less

>>15858925
Congratulations, what’s her name?

>>15858925

>>15859002
Yes,cheaper and better.

>>15858931
Why is the price a factor if your not poor?
>>15859021
Show them both to a random person on the street and ask which is better.

>>15859030
>Show them both to a random person on the street and ask which is better.

Rolex looks cheaper, you must be sure people would say that the Seiko is a better watch

>>15859030
Who gives a fuck what some random normie thinks? They’d be just as impressed by a Rolex as they would by some LV or Versace Chink garbage.

>Reproduction of a Vostok
lol, it is 17 usd though

Stop me from buying a san martin vintage sub PLEASE

>>15858925
They do! And they make some in other colours too. I almost bought one as soon as it was announced. The only thing that stopped me was the fact there is no lume on the bezel. I was so excited as I thought it was going to be a next generation SBGH GMT that isnt 45mm.

>>15859062
It's pretty nice.

I took a dip in the river/falls with my watch 2 weeks ago. After probably around 3~4 hours of cumulative soak time, it's now full of water spots/stains. I read that those are just mineral deposits so I decided to just wear it and hope it'll just go away by itself. Obviously, I thought wrong.

Any recommendations on how to clean it? I've only tried vinegar-damped microfiber (avoiding gaskets as much as possible) and it doesn't seem to work.

>>15859092

>>15859096
WHAT THE FUCK. Did you have the crown unscrewed? how the hell did that happen holy fuck, its fucked btw. Buy a new one.

I would like to purchase a Vostok Anphibia from Meranom however they are asking for £20 delivery price for a £50 wristwatch

Is this normal? I also hear that the watch takes 2 months usually to deliver, so why is the price so high?

>>15859165
You think £20 is expensive for an international parcel delivery?

>>15859165
Blame the EU

>>15859174
Yes. You can get shit from china for fucking nothing. Even America is like £6

This isn't such a big deal, the problem is you are paying £20 for what is an extremely slow delivery. You constantly see complaints about it in these threads. It's like three months.

I was just wondering if there were an alternative.

>>15859188
Huh, the EU prices are on par with the rest of the planet.
The absolute worst shipping rates are from the USA to wherever else.

>>15859030
If by poor you mean I put some thought into what I spend money on and don't mindlessly consoom then yes, I must be poor.

Also lol @ caring about normies

>>15859110
Don't have any in stock, but will surely try.

>>15859155
Of course not lol. I'm 99% sure nothing got inside the watch. I read it's just mineral residue from hard water, same thing you see on windows and/or cars. Still runs pretty well at +2~4 at the end of the day and quite isochronous (compared to my 6R15 watch which runs like ass). But said, I only got it last Sept.

I'm starting to think my 8-watch collection is excessive and been thinking of selling everything and just sticking with one watch.

What would be your choice for a one watch collection that can be used for everything?

>$300 range
>$600

Amphibias have always cost a total of around 70 odd dollars give or take, sure you can get some cheap shit from China but it isn't an Amphibia so your choice in the end.

suggest me a 1000€ watch, everyday wear but slightly on the elegant side, nothing bigger than 40mm, not a quartz and not an obscure brand because I want to try it on before buying and i live in a shithole place

>>15859349
Look through the websites of certina, hamilton and mido. Pick ones you like, check the proce on jomashop. Try in person, buy from grey market retailer.
Or just buy this but there is no way to try it on first.
699$ with the little coupon box you check off next to the price.
https://www.jomashop.com/milus-snow-star-heritage-watch-hkit001.html

>>15858188
No. Horrible for daily use. The power reserve won't last you overnight so you'll have to set it everytime you want to wear it.

>>15859349
>and not an obscure brand because I want to try it on before buying and i live in a shithole place
Where?

>>15859349
> want to try it on
Kind of limits you to main brands while you can get older omegas and shit off ebay for sub-1k if you're into it.
If you live in a shithole chances are you'll have the generic brands for sale in your local jewelers, Hamilton is always a good choice, maybe some Tissots and Seikos.

>>15859396
I mean you're taking advice from people who think their watches are all about the "horologie" and call them "timepieces" while the reality is 99 percent of the population sees them as what they really are: fashion pieces. Nobody gives a shit about what you wear, wear what makes you happy.

>>15859396
we favor what actually looks proportional to the average adult male wrist, from which traditional styles derive, over trendy flash-in-the-pan bullshit. your superiors have bad taste, but that doesn't mean you have to also. look at what watches the management of design, architecture, or similar firms are wearing -- where actually knowing what looks good is required to advance -- and I bet you won't find what your bosses are wearing.

>>15859396
the 'enthousiast' crowd will always think what they're far too much into matters. cars, watches, fashion, pretty much anything. as long as you keep it within reason and act the part no one will bat an eye.
a good part of the 'just buy what you like' responses are from me in these threads while I collect my russian shitters from ebay.

>>15859396
> why are people like this

the other guys with no taste? your boss buying a real mans watch? you for stupidly listening to /wt/? you for not picking something like like and giving a fuck about what other people think.

>>15858919
Very much, every time I wear it I keep looking at it all the time like it's the first time I have it on.

I was seriously considering an IWC 39mm Spitfire, but when I tried it on I immediately lost all interest. It just didn't feel like a premium product when I held it in my hand. And for the same money I can get the new Accuphase E-280, so that's what I'm going to do.

>>15859430
You got aids?

>>15859464
Surprisingly it was only slightly more than an Amphibia (80), there were cheaper ones on ebay but they were in awful shape and didn't even bother checking the movement.
Prices do vary a lot for the rectangular ones though, people trying to sell it for way more than I paid on chrono24 lmao, seeing 2/3 hundred euros on the first page. Where do you get yours from?

>>15859433
>Accuphase E-280

Yeah IWC just doesn't seem to stand up to the prices that ask.

>>15859476
>Where do you get yours from?
>there were cheaper ones on ebay but they were in awful shape and didn't even bother checking the movement.
exactly from there, the quality is greatly hit and miss. you can get a perfectly running piece for <10$ or pay 100$ for something fully corroded/missing parts all listed as 'working'.
I just enjoy shopping around and attempting to fix what isnt working as hobby.
if someone ever comments on the dire state of the watches I wear thats my excuse anyway(no one notices regardless).

I'm new to watches. What's the opinion on old Soviet watches? Just grabbed this one from ebay the other day

>>15859553
Like we've said above, it's watch roulette. You might land on a real good one or some frankenstein creation of horrors that's been patched from a dozen dead beaters.
Also to me that fucking dial looks terrible.

>>15859304
looks really good anon

>>15859500
It runs great. No more than a minute of deviation in 24 hours, I suppose. Never check really

>>15859553
'old soviet watches' is a very broad term, if you lurk around you can get some pretty interesting pieces for next to nothing but theres a lot of actual garbage.
what you have there is what I'd already consider extra careful treading area, as pobeda(assume thats what I'm looking at they have some wild dials) slowly moved to fashion watch shitters after the 60s, generally quality of the movements and designs went downhill
that said though still an interesting brand and they have a lot of meme dials if thats your thing, been personally looking to cop one of the dressier ones with textured dials. but I keep being outbid or everything is beyond saving.

Why do watch enthusiasts generally prefer bracelets over nato/canvas/perlon?
Is it purely look? Because it can't be comfort.

>>15859970
DHL is the only good international shipping service. You would have been triple extra fucked if it was sent UPS.

Recommend me a watch

$500 budget
White Dial
Two-tone case and bracelet steel and gold (doesn't need to be actual gold)
38 to 43 mm diameter
Mechanical or quartz
Water resist
Will be used mostly as a daily beater.

>>15859973
Im still fucked im not getting my watch. I was told I filled a sheet wrong. I resubmitted an updated detail sheet with the info they needed, and was later told I needed even more info that wasn't told to me when I did the first revision I worked holiday ot and graveyard for nothing I pray for death

>>15859970

They are all shit, but DHLs online tracking system and such are like 30 years behind UPS.

Their site looks the same way it did in the 2000s.

its a frankenwatch. the printed dial and new hands should have tipped you off/you should have asked here beforehand. the movement inside is a salvaged pobeda or whatever. no russian watch looked like that in the past

but if you dont care about that its fine, if you didnt pay more than $50 for it

Rubber is better.

>>15860107
>Rubber is better
I agree 100%, not only are rubber straps more comfortable, they looks much better because they actually have enough volume to match the watch, rather than making the watch look like its awkwardly glued to your wrist.

You guys pick up a mickey?

>>15860155
Because I wear it, I don't wash it, and I don't pretty it up for pictures. Sunlight catches dust like you wouldn't believe.

Here...have the prettiest picture I ever took of the good ole 2531.80

my watch is being held up in customs all basically due to there being two straps in the package. please kill me god

>>15860083
If you can afford to buy the watch for 8k you can afford to get the movement actually serviced regularly which fixes 90% of the issue.
You can also afford to replace the two gears that eat themselves that are fairly affordable and very easy to get on the after market.

>>15860094
Timex camper, the plastic case version

>>15860163
If it helps, I've got two packages stuck coming from the US...I think the USPS is either heavily delayed or just on hold, because neither package has moved in days. Who knows why the fuck they haven't moved...but these things happen. Have patience...or have the sender file a report.

>>15860166
I've been wondering about this myself. Are high-beat movements really this much of a problem, or have these issues been solved in 'the modern day'? I mean, Rolex beats at 36,000, right? Modern Zenith too...would they still have these problems 50 years after the El Primero was invented?

>ye olde Pam with very little dust for the Lords of Cleanlinesse

>>15860177
the time zones are pretty far off i dont know if they are going to be able to communicate with each other. I got 800$ floating in the aether because the website sent the watch and the second band incorrectly to me. im gonna punch my leg until its purple and green i cant cope

>>15860177
>Modern Zenith too...would they still have these problems 50 years after the El Primero was invented?
Zenith has not modified the movement in any way from the 50 year old design, or if they have then they haven't tried to fix the issue, so the problem still persists. It's still my understanding that it's much less of an issue if you stay on top of servicing it every 5 years.

>>15860188
Sorry dude...wish I knew of a solution.

>>15860195
Interdasting. Do Seiko high-beats suffer from the same problem, or did they fix it? I've always been fascinated with the idea of getting a high-beat just for the luxury of the smooth sweep, but I never found a design I liked aside from the older Daytona.

Dude. NEVER use DHL. They fucked me a few times in my country by inventing some special business number you have to have, then they charge you retarded fees for everything, and demand retarded documentation like you're reselling everything, it's the worst shit possible.

>>15860021

> Russian shitter
Don't forget to come back after a few days and give us the accuracy

should you buy watches to invest or watches you like?

>>15858810
Damn nice.
These have hand-finished movements, right?

Got pic related as a gift.

How do i use the timezones accordingly?

>>15860562
Watches are a terrible investment. Don’t fall for the Rolex and Patek memes. Savvy customers are sick of the bullshit already, it’s only a matter of time until the riff raff catch on as well.

How well do you think these ultra-accurate 0100 ecodrive movements do in terms of longevity?

I mean they do have capacitors in them, which are known to have inconsistent lifetimes.

I have a Speedmaster, I'm tempted to sell and but the new one.

Keep my Speedmaster?
Sell and buy new one?
Sapphire sandwich or hesalite?

>>15860263
>I work at a cheese plant.
Cheese doesn't come from plants.

>>15860613
Just keep the old one m8.

>>15860601
1)convert your home time to 24hr format
2)move your home city to the inner world-time bezel to the corresponding 24hr time
3)now read the 24 hr time for the other city you want to know the time for

so for example
now that watch says 10oclock
lets just assume you are in sydney, now its 10am in the morning

now, sydney is already aligned to against 1000 hours (24hr format) in the world time bezel (so this is already step 2)
if its now 1000 hours in sydney, its now approximately 0220 for Cairo (2:20am)

>>15860600
Yeah very much so.

>>15860521
Spring drives can theoretically go a very very long time without service, so long as nothing actually breaks.

The regulator works by adjusting the speed of the hands with an electromagnetic brake.
So even if the mechanical parts of the movement wear down significantly, the watch will adjust for the loss of accuracy.

>>15860623
move your home city on the inner world-time bezel*

>>15858688
Mean

>>15860624
Is this the 40 or the 42?
Do they have the same movements?
What's the brand history like, in a nutshell?

>>15860610
The movement has only been around for a few years so it's hard to know. I would assume that they are very robust and will last for a long time. The cell will have to be replaced every 10 years or so. I guess the lifecycle could be shorter if the movement uses much more power than other ecodrive models. As far as capacitors go, they should not be a problem for a long time. The capacitor plague is over, and citizen will be using high spec parts for this module so i would expect it to last 25 to 30 years before it a cap even thinks about failing.

>>15860809
10/10

>>15860808
They are literally just extremely average. I think they're Swatch Group and anything that's low tier Swatch is not allowed to grow, it stays at mid tier shitter level forever. Most microbrands give you more for less because they actually have something to prove.

>>15860808
The designs are correct but nothing striking, like most brands from the Swatch group.
The movements are cool, like most brands from the Swatch group.
The models I like are too thick, like most brands from the Swatch group.

You won't be able to flex on the internet with it, but if you like a model, you are guaranteed to have a decent-to-nice watch.

>>15860808
The only thing that makes them stand out is they use titanium on some of their watches. If you can go without that then you'd be better served by Seiko, Orient, Tissot or microbrands. Certina has a lot of markup outside of europe.

>>15860808

they are decent solid watches, but not spectacular

this is literally a soulless/soul image

My £20 tacticool fake tritium tube watch arrived. Its actually not bad for how much it cost, the lume is shit (after charging it for a bit with my phone light it's barely visible) but the bracelet has solid links and the bezel has a decent action with minimal play. The crystal seems to have some blue AR too.
50m WR is shit though and it's pretty big at around 45mm.
