I prefer it to the GMT, for its simpler bezel.

No goal at the moment. I got what is in my opinion the best everyday design, not in its price range but best to me period. I just wish it was anti-magnetic or even quartz.

Why? Watchmaking is something that involves dealing with dozens, if not hundreds, of extremely small moving parts working in concert with each other at sub-millimeter tolerances. You need genuine passion for this shit. Passion and skill should be absolute, not fucking diversity. How is that going to make it better? I just want my watch fixed well, I don't care about the race of the guy doing it.

>>15882488

>>15882510
>Why?
Because skin color is now the most important thing in the world.

Blacks in the US are responsible for half of all murders and violent crime, so naturally everyone has to accommodate them as much as possible.

>>15882510

>>15882514
Their ideas crumbal when it faces scrutiny and doesn't have the aid of censorship

>>15882528
The problem is there is no scrutiny and the scrutiny is shut up with censorship.
Literally all one has to do is ask, "how does the racial diversity of watchmakers make watchmaking better?" But will anyone do so? No, they will cheerlead behind this Hodinkee article with pom poms.

Nomos 703, >reddit me all you want, it's versatile as shit.

>>15882621
HAQ just really appeals to me, accurate to within 10 seconds per year, should be good for 50 years except for changing the battery. I like the idea of that, it's a stress-free experience.

>>15882642
Regular quartz is more than good enough. Also, you'll still be changing the date every few months because it doesn't have a perpetual calendar. Plus, it's a 3 year battery, which is very weak when most other watches have at least 5 years.

>>15882651
who cares, let him have his watch

>>15882463
I’m thinking the same but this instead as it’s a bit less formal.

I am still looking for a smaller thinner dive watch 36-39mm. My shortlist so far:

>Certina Diver 38
>C Ward Trident 38

What else to add?

>>15882687
Oris 65?

>>15882651
I've already considered all of that and it really doesn't bother me, I'd have to change the date 5 times a year and changing a battery is a 5 minute job. It's not really that big of a deal.
>>15882668
I wouldn't really say it's that formal, I view it as similar to the SARB003 but without the lume, pretty versatile. I'd still happily wear it casually if it was on the right strap.

>>15882687
How obsessed are you with autos? You can get old Seiko quartz divers pretty cheap occasionally, mine is under 9mm thick.

>>15882571
Thanks, Anon.
My camera is not good in the dark, but here it is (on the left) next to my Citizen Promaster BN0191.
The comparison makes me realize that that it's not bad.

I have a 16.5cm/6.5inches wrist. The only reserve I had was the long clasp (47mm of moving parts), but it's actually okay and "stabilizes" the watch.

Good deals on Braun watches today if anyone needs a smart looking beater.

>>15882699
>Oris 65
It's a bit above budget at $1200 also kinda overpriced for what you get.

>>15882708
Autos or Quartz are fine. I only exclude handwind. I don't want to go vintage because I am really going to use it as a snorkeling/swimming watch.

>>15882687
I love the ward C60 vintage in 38mm. Lovely watch.

>>15882687
This one :
>>15882376

Also the Zelos Horizon 39mm if you like zanny design.

>>15882687
Could probably get a seiko sbdc under that price. Not paying retail somewhere like sakura watches

>>15882751
I mean spb143 etc

>>15882751
Seiko only makes huge chunky watches now. SKX013 is discontinued and even their Mini turtle is like 42mm.

>>15882757
It's as big or bigger than tudor bb58

>>15882762
Modern Seikos are such a shame. Their old lines were miles better, lots of watches that were actually wearable at sensible sizes like 36/38mm.

>>15882503

Outside of impossible to obtain watches I have everything I want. So it depends on what new watches come out this year.

Recieved this watch as a subscription gift with a pop-science magazine when I was 13 years old and treasured it more than anything.

The watch got lost while moving when I was 15 or something and recently found the exact same modell on Ebay. Paid 3 bucks for the watch and a new battery.

What do you guys think? I just love the design and wish that there is an automatic watch with the same design.

I inherited an automatic watch from my late grandfather which he wore almost every day for approx. 50 years. In the last few years of his life he wore the watch less often. Ultimately, the watch probably sat unworn for 3 years before I took possession of it.

To my knowledge the watch has never been serviced, or if it was, it was last serviced many years ago.

When I began wearing the watch, I would rotate it regularly with other watches, wearing it 2-3 times per week. It would consistently lose the exact same amount of time every day - I would set it at 7:30 am and it would lose 5 minutes by 5:00 pm. I chalked this up to it being old and needing to be examined by a watchmaker, but I didn't take it in because I wasn't in a hurry to do so.

I have been wearing the watch more consistently for some time now and I have noticed that instead of losing 5 minutes every ~10.5 hours (equaling approx. 12 minutes per 24 hours), it loses about 2 minutes every ~12 hours (equalling approx. 4 minutes per 24 hours). So the watch is keeping much better time than it was previously.

I will eventually take the watch in to be examined by a watchmaker (right now, it's difficult with COVID measures) but does it make logical sense that wearing the watch more is causing it to keep better time?

>>15882701
I think you will be happy. I got a similar Citizen Chronomaster last year and haven’t even thought of buying another watch since then.

>>15882687
Lorier Hydra

>>15882713
Nice, thank you

>>15882687
A lot of Zelos watches are very short, so they wear like 38-39mm, even if they are 40-41mm

>>15882834
If a watch sits idle for too long lubes inside that keep it working can dry out or settle.

>>15882833
Can't say it does anything for me but obviously wear watches that bring you personal joy and not just groupthink purchases.

It reminded me of some vintage Poljots.

>>15882833
Nice story, and the watch looks good.

>>15882263
Speaking of UG, I was planning on buying picrel a couple of months back. Theres a couple of them floating around C24 for around 1.8k in NOS condition. ended up falling through since covid was blocking stuff at the time. Seems like a decent deal at that price?

>>15882854
Would it make sense that wearing and using the watch more would cause the lubrication to become "less settled"?

>>15882893
I am a minority, retard.
I don't want a push for diversity in watchmaking. If some black guy wants to be a watchmaker, that's great. But watchmaking is inherently about pushing for quantifiable excellence. If he cannot hack it then fuck him. You shouldn't get a pass because you were born a different skin color, nor should you want for it. Are you a man or a pastel shirt?
This shit is racist as fuck and nobody pushing for diversity can actually explain how it makes things better, it just supposedly does, because, and we need it, because.

>>15882910

He never implied that retard.

>>15882923
I think it's a good ad campaign. Only fucking retards would blow 50k on a watch, and the idea of having an "heirloom" for your kids and the false hope that they won't just pawn it in a week to buy food appeals to the middle aged exec market, because they can sell it to themselves as "something for the kid they never fucking see".

Money is not a "percentage of your earnings". You're dumb for spending a grand on a watch in the same way you're dumb for spending a grand on fancy dining, and when it comes to watches, even more so.

You could have a lot more fun with 50 grand.

There's no point to it. These poor retards waste their whole lives working for the sake of power and excess that they have no real time to enjoy. There's a reason happiness from earnings tapers off pretty harshly at about 50k a year.

>>15882972

>>15882980
Hamilton makes 34mm watches. They're labeled as women's watches, but a man can easily wear them on a leather strap, the bracelets aren't great. 34mm Rolex is great as well. Got one after selling a 40mm sport model and am much happier with it.

New strap in for the GS , I think it goes well with the dial.

>>15883092
Flat cordovan? It really plays well with the vintage design cues.

>>15882488

duck swatch or g shock

>>15883084
Have you tried on many watches in the realm of 38-39mm? I'm not a small guy but I have relatively slim wrists (18cm/7" circumference) and own a couple of 38mm vintage watches. Anything below 38mm looks way too tiny on my wrist and I imagine that 38mm is suitable for 99% of grown thin men although sorry if you have exceptional circumstances I'm not considering.

>>15883065
Pretty good as a first watch and not reddit-tier, so it's always cool to see a young guy wearing one.

>>15883101
Yeah, I don't know what this guy is going on about. I have a 6.5 inch wrist and anything below 36mm looks small. If you need a 33mm watch you should probably transition.

>>15883092
hi again. i tend to consider myself a "bracelet guy" because I don't want to be encumbered by the colour of the strap, I want to wear whatever watch I feel like that day. Do you wear different watches with different outfits or do you swap the straps on your watches regularly to go with what you're planning to wear?

>>15883114
Not that guy and can't speak for him, but it seems to me that more and more people are moving toward smaller watches as the pendulum swings back from the trend toward big watches of the last several years. IMO "trends" in watchmaking are pretty dumb but it is what it is

>>15883092
Favourite watch of your collection?

>>15882999
In my experience people at the upper echelons tend to have way more time to enjoy than people who are grinding out a living every day. Even something as simple as the fact that CEOs get vastly more vacation time than the average worker

>>15883092
sick collection. hows the size on the seamaster? i really dig them and like them 100x more than the Sub but I'm worried it'll look massive on my bitch wrists

>>15883146
Bro, in my experience Omega dealerships are relatively common and they will let you try on everything. Just go try it on.

>>15883144
They may have more time but they don't definitely have the luxury of spending it freely. Nobody employee can have weird hobbies like anime figures and gaming. CEO free time usually involves more shmoozing with your rich colleagues or managing passive income.

>>15883091

>>15883159
I suspect you can build a pretty cool, rare collection of smaller watches if you're willing to look at the secondary and vintage market. It's precisely those quirks that make collections valuable

>>15883159
Holy shit man you have the wrist of a 15 year old girl. Just buy women's watches. Citizen has a good selection of relatively unisex women's watches in their Eco-Drive line.

>>15883146
Look at videos of the watch on "Watchbox Reviews" on YouTube. The guy who makes the videos gives recommendations on wrist sizing in every single video and there are several Seamaster reviews you can look at.

>>15883003
>Would that guy have said "I only want QUALIFIED whites"
That's exactly what he was saying, yes.

>>15883065

They present the best entry point for boys with average-big wrists. Solid, lots of functions and affordable.


Pic related. IMO the best watch under 100€

They look like fun.

Do they have any HH-finished movements?

Is there a bigger meme in watches than "solid link" bracelets?

Every fucking strap has these things these days. They don't improve the watch. They just make it heavier for no reason. I miss the days of cheap folded link bracelets.

>>15883216
I like them because they are easier for me to adjust.

>>15883193

Are there any high accuracy quartz digital watches?

>>15883370
That fish looks absolutely chuffed to be near that Yema.

>>15883384
Can't even blink hes so amazed

>>15883373
Any quartz watch will be extremely accurate. Even the least accurate quartz watches are approx. 2x more accurate than the most accurate mechanical watches

>>15883405
Surely the F91W isnt within a few seconds per month?

>>15882280
no date sub

>>15883410
Why wouldn't it be? It's less than a second a day which is par for the course for cheapo 3 dollar watches.

>>15883107
>>Pretty good as a first watch and not reddit-tier, so it's always cool to see a young guy wearing one.
This, it's great if you're like 5-6, when you start primary school you gotta upgrade to a real watch.

>>15883410
I can't speak to any specific quartz watch model, but the most accurate mechanical watches will be within a few seconds per day, dude, not month.

>>15883156
lmfaooooooooooooooo yeah dude they have hobbies like collecting celebrity whores and supercars that's so much worse than anime figures

>>15883410
F91Ws can't be regulated, so it's luck of the draw. Most of the time, you'll be within 15 seconds a month. If you're lucky, you'll be within 5. But over time, the crystal will change as it ages.

If you want HAQ in a digital, you might as well just get a radio watch. Better than HAQ accuracy, all you need is a solar cell. Watches like the 5600 g-shock are set and forget for the next 15-30 years, then you might have to swap out the battery.

>>15882980
Try the seiko SACM171, dial is beautiful and the finishing is amazing for the price, best modern seiko imo

Does anyone have experience with tools from Ali? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000957445444.html these seem pretty well reviewed. I'm a novice but want to learn to do everything but screwing around with the movement itself. Anything additional to know?
>strap changes
>dial and hand replacement
>etc

>>15883839
These tools are generally not much better than scrap metal. There's a little plastic brick you can get with diagonal lines on it for bracelet adjustment, the nylon hammer is alright, and the watch lug tools work. But stuff like 12 there, and the dogshit replacement spring bars? They're not even worth buying.

I picked up a press with a bunch of different plastic die sizes that works well for putting the backs on cheap watches, although I haven't used it for removing a crystal yet.

For hand replacement, you want something decent, they're delicate. Not those shitty little grippers, you want the fancy pry bars.

>>15884051
you can’t lose with either. Ultimately I think the leather looks better, more classic and the bracelet distracts from the beautiful case shape a tad. But I’ve also heard other anons say it’s cheaper to get a leather band second hand than a bracelet that will have perfectly matching steel. So I guess if you want both get the bracelet, if not go leather.

>>15884035
>At that price they should have included sapphire.
Sapphire has no place on a G-Shock. It's far too prone to shattering to have the shock resistance G-Shocks are known for. I believe there are a few models that have sapphire but it's not a good idea.

I'm just upset she spent like $250 on a shitty watch from a company literally called "Just Bling Watch." For $250 I could have gotten a decent watch from an actual reputable brand. I would have dipped some money in to buy myself a Seiko Presage.

But now I'm stuck with this shitty watch with what I assume are fake diamonds in the face.

>>15884565
you couldn't return it after xmas?

>>15884566
It was delivered late but she told me she got it for me on xmas. I was like wtf is JBW, told her it's probably trash and that we should return it when it comes in.

But then to keep the piece I said it looks nice when it arrived in person, also they only accept returns 30 days after purchase, which coincidentally the late arrival put it near the end of 30 days.

Wow guys... I've finally found the one. I've worn divers and dress watches and field watches and vintage watches and russian watches, but that was all folly. I'll never go back. I'll sell my old watches. I've taken the square pill.

Man, I'm sorry she did you like that. Looking at their site, she could've done worse. Seems like that classic invicta pricing scheme.

>>15884624
Well it's a huge hublot homage but nowhere near the worst watch they make.

>>15884629
I seriously appreciate your sentiment, but I worry if that's the right choice. The atomic radio sync is appealing, but the not for the price. I don't imagine I'll be able to damage this one, so the extra protection will be unneeded.

>>15884658
I don't even care about the atomic sync, i just like the metal case, it's definitely unnecessary an nobody will even be able to see the difference. Realistically the standard 5600 is more practical and probably more durable.

>>15884629
>Get the 5000-1jf if you actually sell your other watches. If you are going to commit to the square you might as well go all the way and get the one with the metal internal case

Invictas are future classics. First they'll go entirely out of fashion and many mechanical ones will get discarded as getting them repaired won't be economical but a few decades later they will be regarded as the most iconic watches of the first quarter of the 21st century. They'll be highly collectable, especially amongst a new generation of SEA watch collectors, with the most obscene and morbidly oversized limited edition models fetching exorbitant prices. Unironically the best long term investment pieces in the market.
