You might be right, looks like it needs some rubber, maybe a waffle strap. There are some decent ones on aliexpress, look for the ones that say fluoro or Fluorine rubber, not silicone. Also good tropic straps on there, look for the ones with two keepers that say fluoro or Fluorine rubber.

It’s just me messin around. It comes with a very nice rubber and I’ve posted it on a graphic nato a few times. The picture really doesn’t communicate just how HEAVY that combo is. Literally made me lol.
>>15889938
You get a hell of a wacky, cool watch for a little under 200 bucks. Mineral crystal, normal amphibia movement and lume but the face is extremely visible and easy to read far away or in shit light. The indices won’t line up perfectly but the internal bezel feels nice. Also the screws on the top are only cosmetic and will be a hair on the pointy side, not that it bothers me just letting you know. The black extended date window really brings the whole look together for me.
A random quirk of mine is that the tip of my seconds hand is black where most are full orange. Ivan has been known to randomly switch out seconds hands without warning then switch back apparently, as I learned from a fb Vostok group. Scared the shit out of me at first cuz I thought it might mean it’s fake, lel.

No. Do you have eyes? They have uneven gaps between them.

>>15890004
Wasted digits

Rec me good quartz watches, from 200 to 2000, anything under 42mm unless it's not circular

>>15890130
I literally dont understand what you mean. They look symmetrical.

>>15890096
Looks to be a 1940's Omega with a 30T2 CS movement in a steel case. There should be a 4 digits reference number on the inner caseback that can provide further info. Don't try to open the caseback at home unless you have a watchmaker's knife and you know what you are doing, a certified local watchmaker (NOT the mall guy) can take care of it for you.
It's not possible to provide a valuation without knowing the diameter of the case w/o the crown and seeing a photo of the the inner caseback and the movement. A closer/higher resolution photo of the dial would be nice, too, but we're looking at north of $500 even if it has a smaller (32-33mm diameter) original case and a non-running but complete movement.
Please don't wind up or "run" it unless it was serviced recently and handle it with care because it likely lacks shock protection due to its age.

Hey guys, if watches can be good below $5k, how come almost everyone who's into watches has watches from $5-50+k?

You're very welcome.
I would advise against selling it especially if it's a family heirloom, but also because vintage Omegas and 1940-1950's watches in general are quite sought after and prices will probably continue to grow.
If he doesn't want to wear it nor sell it he should store it away safely in a non-damp place out of direct sunlight, putting it by caseback on an unused white soft cotton/silk handkerchief placed in a generously sized wooden drawer free from other items would be the best.
If he wants to sell it then there's ebay, the buyers will ask for the same photos I did so it's worth to get them done before the auction. It's not worth it to get it serviced before selling it because collectors of vintage watches generally prefer to get the work done by their own watchmakers.
If he wants to wear it he should find a certified watchmaker of good repute, might be worth asking if someone knows one in his area on the Omega forums (also another potential site for sale): https://omegaforums.net/forums/vintage-omega-watches-help-discussion-and-advice.23/ If he's lucky then the movement is complete and the watch only needs a general service. That costs about 150-200 euros in Europe, I suspect that it'd be roughly the same in most first world countries. He shouldn't get the dial restored or the case polished, as it would reduce affect its value. A watch of this age is not suitable for everyday wear and should only be worn with care on special "dressed up" occasions. A mechanical watch like this should be serviced every 6-7 years regardless of use, so it's something to calculate with if he decides to wear it.

>>15890236
>anything he can do to fuck me with this information?
A lot, actually.
Scammers will claim that a watch with the exact same serial number was stolen from them in a burglary/robbery and attempt to trick or blackmail it out from you by presenting fake or actual police/insurance company reports, providing communications from fake or actual lawyers, making deceptive posts on watch forums and social media and engaging in various attempts to frighten you or denigrate your reputation.
Most likely it's just an overly cautious potential buyer but you should give the same polite answer that the watch is in your legal possession and you see no point in providing more than the reference number.

>>15890250
Send him two pictures holding the dial and the back side of the watch in front of today's paper/a computer screen displaying his message with all unique info removed, no sane buyer can ask for more.

>>15890281

I’ll do that. This potential buyer is also asking if I ship to Hong Kong, which makes me nervous.

Thanks

>>15890293

Also a good idea, thanx

Just bought my first watch (a terrorist casio). What got you guys into this? I have read about watches and the sort of secret handshake signalling among watch guys for years. Never bought a watch before now.

His prices are on the high side, no? Lots of stuff for $15-35k USD. My budget is limited to $6-8k for my first watch.
From what I've seen on secondary markets, the Golden Snowflake is about $6k.

Anyone have one of the midsize seamasters(36mm)? Pic related is a 37mm seiko 5 on my 7 1/2” wrist

Can’t figure out if I should go with a 36mm or a 41mm. I’d go to an omega store but won’t be able to for around a month

>>15890483
I bought a 2252.50 for my dad. any questions about it? I don't think they make any contemporary mid-size seamasters tho.

>>15890486
Mostly concerned with it being too small on my wrist.

>>15889818
I posted in the old thread, just before it died. I am going to buy a new watch. I was thinking about getting a Grand Seiko sbgx261 (quartz and 37mm) or a Tudor black bay 36mm. What do you fags reckon?

>>15890492
Since you have a 7.1/2" you could go fullsize. I have 6.1/2" and it fit well, you could rock both easily, but the larger one would probably suit better

>>15890495
the answer is always GS unless you can spend 100k+ on ultra-exclusive purely handmades from legacy Patek or independent watchmakers

>>15890479
the watch you posted in >>15890428 is the sbgy002 which has a 38mm gold case, leather strap, and hand-wind movement. it retails for 25k.

>>15890501
whoops, wrong model. considering pic related. $30k watches are definitely not in the budget atm.

>>15890428
What is the size? I'd prefer a Rolex day date personally, but otherwise, go for it.

You should also consider the citizen chronomaster line, it's around the same price as the GS quartz ±5 seconds per year and has a perpetual calendar, it's also available in solar models Beautiful finishing. Hardened titanium cases on some models Lots of different models

>>15890609
>should i buy an overplayed meme shitter that half the planet has
the actual skx007 is not worth the prices they are going for right now, 7s26 movement is extremely basic and not even accurate
the heimdallr one is much better specs to price wise

i know watches are a personal choice but i think you should really consider something more adventurous like the heimdallr 'monsters', or at least a 62mas homage or something
i bought "safe" choices when i was starting out (in my case it was the snk800 series) but now i wish i'd gotten something more quirky

>>15890603
dont worry, they will come out with an limited edition of the SUS, slap a prospex logo on it, and set the price at $4999

>>15890568
Yeah. I do enjoy my budget watches. I buy homages of the more expensive watches that I like. 90% of the satisfaction for 1% the price, I just can't justify a Rolex or a GS when a Chinese copy with the same styling and good specs can be had for cheap. People may hate on it but I genuinely enjoy my Chinese pieces, as much as I hate the Chinese themselves.

>>15890702
Are there any Chinese grand seiko homages?

>>15890568
The real redpill is buying vintage watches that cost next to nothing, and fixing them up yourself.

If I owned a 5k shitter, I'd be terrified of breaking it. But a 50 dollar watch that cost the equivalent of a grand back when it came out? Yeah, I don't mind opening that up at all. Servicing your own watches is a joy, and the tools are all pretty inexpensive.

They have some nice features and about equal finishing, but GS quartzes are definitely more robust.

i hate this style of watch, but this one actually doesnt seem too bad

After a long time wanting to get my self a decent kettle I finally bit the bullet and got my first one a week or so ago. and I'm over the moon with it. I am a fan of Victorinox Swiss army knives already so I when I found they do nice entry level price but incredibly good quality watches I was sold in the brand already.

I've gone for the Fieldforce GMT - just under £350 so not overly dear but makes me feel amazing wearing it out and about. It's 42mm which I feel is perfect size.

I took the steel bracelet off immediately and have a couple of NATO straps which I prefer the look of and will keep the steel strap in mint condition for if and when I want to wear it or disaply it In the box.

I already want to get another entry level price watch and am back to researching again. I feel this is the start of something.

Should buy a NH36 and (get a professional to) swap them out while you're at it.

Day four of the squarepill. No one has noticed a difference in which watch I am wearing. I accidentally saw an old photo of me with an all metal bracelet, very old fat man cringe. It has deviated from the atomic clock by less than one second, so it looks like I will only need to set it once a week.

>red dialed watches period; doubly so for dress watches.
no they didnt make a red one for this model, the salmon one is the closest

there are some red dress watches but they are rare
-hammy jazzmaster thinline H38525771 (more like a dusky mauve red)
-WZ0041DV (more sporty than dress, rare AF and almost unobtanium according to orient-anon)
-SRRY027 (if he can handle it, its a "ladies" model and lug width is only 16mm. But otherwise its actual real dress size and same as mens version)
-maison celadon plum, this is very kino and a true handwound 2 hander but character is very strong

>For the Star Wars fans, there’s the Saga watch line by Japanese brand Citizen. Available in three versions (Classic, Prequel, and Sequel), this line includes watches that are both playful and sleek.
>The Citizen Prequel model is inspired by the Dark Side. On the burgundy red dial are the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic symbols, with index markers. The dial is also highlighted by a blue line resembling a lightsaber, running across 2 pm and 7 pm.
>The case is made of stainless steel, and the bracelet is a classic mesh. Other featured include the brand’s unique Eco-Drive technology (does not need a battery, as it’s powered by any light source), a date display at 3 o’clock, and a case back that has an image of the iconic diel between Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.

Zenith fucking rushed out review units of this watch and they have a ton of pre-production flaws such as the 4:00 INDICATOR BEING APPLIED UPSIDE DOWN. The applied subdials are also slightly misaligned. The centre chronograph seconds hand is not fully centred on the 12:00 indicator.

Of the two colours, the black dial is superior to the white.

The design is too evocative of the Daytona. Zenith already made essentially this *exact* watch in 2019 (same movement, ceramic bezel, etc.) but with a more distinctive design. They currently make a skeletonized version of the watch. They should have just re-released the flat dial version and put in on the El Primero bracelet that has the countersunk links, not this new Oyster rip off.

I can’t believe I’m saying this I prefer the skeletonized version of this watch.

Pic related is the flat dial version from a couple years ago.

>>15891027
Yeah and it seems just right. Before pulling the trigger on it, some days I was really feeling the clean clear face of the standard field force and some days the kid in me really wanted to go for the busy and filled face of the chrono - GMT ticks both those boxes and now I have it on I know I made the right choice

This is the problem though, I feel an urge to get some more peices in now. Some smart and clean minimal and some fun and full of moving parts and chronos.

This could be end up expensive

>>15891086
The flat-dial version was really limited. 50 pieces. And long since removed from Zenith’s website. So I can’t say how much it would be.

The skeleton version has an MSRP of USD 9600 so it’s the same price as the new “sport” (Daytona) design.

Not retarded speaking the truth. 34mm is objectively a womens watch now. You can bang on about "muh history" all you like. So what if men used to wear small watches, high heels were originally for men and guys used to wear full make up.

It's pretty much perfect conceptually.
The case looks like stylized beast claws, the indices are like teeth, the dial pattern is like a laser beam shooting from Godzilla's mouth right towards you, the strap is sharkskin with red accents, ...

Even the usual gripes with GS (too big, too thick, ...) fit perfectly with the kaiju theme.

>>15891146
only market

>>15891204
It's supposed to create the optical illusion that the left and right dials are sitting on top of the centre dial, so they're meant to be positioned absolutely flush with one another with no space between them. I believe that usually, the three sub-dials are a single Mickey Mouse-shaped piece (as they clearly are on >>15891085, see also pic related) but Zenith has made a point of advertising on this new model that they are three separate pieces that are applied to the dial individually. I presume that if this is a new process there will be some growing pains for Zenith's assembly process but the fact that some QC people looked at that particular review piece and said "yep, looks good" is shocking

>>15890725
Basic GS designs are not that interesting so a big part of the appeal is the level of finishing and the good movements, and that will of course be missing from the Chinese watches that cut corners everywhere possible.

what do you guys think about this ?

>>15891284
one neat trick is you can put casio watches on a perlon, its a great way to jazz it up

looks classy enough for any function or boardroom, though you might ruffle some feathers!

>>15891284
Yeah, you can swap. They make a milanese strap as well

>>15891308
have you heard of our lord and savior the Casio A700? >>15891234

But otherwise it's solid.
Personally:
>I don't like that much big text.
>I like the more rectangular look of the A700
>I'd be concerned about display visibility. Some negative displays are fine some

>>15891296
I completely agree, although I do enjoy the minimalist aesthetics of a GS regardless of fit and finish. But doesn't mean a Chinese homage can't still be bought and enjoyed as a much cheaper alternative. And I don't know if you've ever handled a Chinese homage watch, but I've always been surprisingly impressed with recent offerings.

>>15891140

>>15891329
>Nice thanks, how much did you get yours for?
It was around £2600 I think.

Just got this and the movement is fucked. How can I go about finding a new movement? Don’t need to find the same watch as a donor or can I buy any movement to put in?

>>15891135
>>15891150
it has one flaw and it's that the caseback is open to show off the movement yet also has a gigantic godzilla painted on and it doesn't work. both are competing for your attention. should have gone with a nice engraved godzilla on a closed caseback.

>>15891347
>to show off the movement
There's nothing really to show off, it's an entirely machine-finished movement that doesn't even have an escapement.
And Godzilla has to be featured somewhere.

>>15891354
so then why have the open caseback?
do you see where I'm going with this? if you say there's nothing to show off, then having the open caseback is an even bigger flaw. they should have went with a closed caseback with an engraving. engravings are also much more classic, in line with both godzilla and GS
that's the flaw on this watch. it's not "conceptually perfect"

>>15891357
>so then why have the open caseback?
Why not?
It's at the back anyway.
The alternative is an engraved caseback, but then you don't see anything of the movement.
This is a mix of the two.

>engravings are also much more classic, in line with godzilla
What?

>>15891005
I recommend it. It’s really easy and cheap to do as long as you have a rotary tool or drill. It’s a classy watch.

>>15891359
so why have an open caseback to show off the movement if you're going to cover 80% of the movement up with a big godzilla? a godzilla which doesn't even stand out and looks like a clusterfuck because it's surrounded by the complex movement behind it? what's the point? there is no point. it's trying to do 2 things and managing to do them both badly. godzilla is an old fucking franchise and they even put the 50s godzilla design on that caseback. if they're going to honor a classic, you might as well go all the way, and engrave it on a solid caseback since that is a more classic form of caseback decoration than laser stenciling it on sapphire.
you are defending a shitty design decision, and your defenses are fucking pathetic. "w-w-well why not? I mean who cares if it sucks it's on the back anyway" you have nothing, faggot. they fucked up.

>>15891346
Citizen own miyota so it's probably one on those

quick search suggests a miyota 8203 you should be able to pick one super cheap.

I'd double check that though

>>15891368
>so why have an open caseback to show off the movement if you're going to cover 80% of the movement up with a big godzilla?
So you get to see some of the movement AND Godzilla.

>that is a more classic form of caseback decoration
And?

>your defenses are fucking pathetic. "w-w-well why not? I mean who cares if it sucks it's on the back anyway" you have nothing, faggot. they fucked up.
This is important to you, isn't it?

It's the fucking caseback; you don't see it 99% of the time. Calm the fuck down.

>be me, Happy Kamasu owner
>watch speeds up from +8spd to +15spd

You two fags should make out, have homosex, and discuss watch designs later on. Fuckin fags

>>15891381
They are going to have different sizes and dimensions. which could cause issues you need to thickness to be right and the location of the crown to be correct.

I'd had a look at "Citizen NY0040" There may be some interchangeability between some of the 8XXX series movements by miyota. Someone more knowledgeable than me could probably tell you.

The movements are cheap like £15 so if don't get the right one it wont be the worst in the world. You might need to pick up some tools to remove the hands and replace them.

>>15891346
it has miyota 8203 inside, now replaced by 8205. virtually the same. you will likely not find 8203 for sale. like other anon said its not expensive or rare movement and should be easy to source on ebay or whatever

>>15891395
>>15891390
Any other sources? I can’t seem to find any on eBay.

>>15891407

>>15891400
>Is quartz replacement possible
the dimensions of the movement will be different and likely much smaller. You will need a spacer ring so it doesnt move and go wonky. You will also need a way to secure the movement down against back of the dial since it would be thinner as well, so it doesnt just drop out. the stem position wouldnt match also
citizen has ecodrive version of similar models but they dont sell their ecodrive movements so you wont get an answer there

it might be remotely possible to find a way to gulliver it with other 3rd party stuff but thats beyond me im not versed in quartz nor tinkering. You can do research if you want, shrugs

>>15891420
You need a heated steering wheel anon changes your life.

>>15891424
Thanks for the good info. I was wondering if there was a quartz replacement with the exact same dimensions. Miyota seems to be popular in the modding/building scene.
Just about to order a movement for £9 on AliExpress.

Are all the crappy names of the cheap homage brands what Chinese people think euro names sound like ?

>>15891437
Yes.

>>15890440

I really respect the history of the El Primero and Zenith generally and I own a Zenith watch, but they really do a lot of cringe shit (like spelling out 36,000 vph on the dial) to where it makes it hard to love literally 90% of their modern pieces. Pic related was a GOOD modern Zenith watch...that they discontinued almost immediately after its release.

>>15889832
The Milgauss is an poseur dog of a watch from Rolex that is meant to be extremely shock resistant and anti-magnetic...yet is only tested by Rolex itself to 4000 gauss and has a metallic hairspring that objectively speaking WILL magnetize and deform if exposed to enough magnetism or shock. Meanwhile, nearly every single modern Omega watch has a silicon hairspring that is completely a-magnetic (not just anti-magnetic), will literally never deform, and can be worn inside an MRI at 15,000+ gauss and survive. And, you don't have to take Omega's word for it because they willingly subject all of their watches to an independently regulated Swiss government test to confirm this.

So, get a Milgauss if you want a relatively cheap steel Rolex but if you're considering it for its technological bonafides (which Rolex markets it on) then you're much better served by a Railmaster or literally any other new Omega model. Pic related.

>>15891641
This one was great except it didn't have the autistic window unless you got some ridiculously colored faux vintage version, and the subdials make it look crosseyed.

does he fuck all these girls?

>>15891677

Not true. A lighter watch doesn't automatically make it better. Many people like a heavier watch, especially with something expensive. Other than that it really isn't that much different to the steel Rolex uses but costs more to produce.

>>15891926
The Aquanaut is a lot more casual and is designed as an everyday wear. The 'grenade-like' textured dial a lot more pronounced than the Nautlius with one hell of a nice gradient. The sold single piece case on the Aquanaut is something you overlook until you hold it in your hand, it's robust but of obvious high quality.

>>15891924
I highly doubt it. How is it so much superior? It's lighter but considering Rolex makes a lot of precious metal sports watches I doubt weight is a concern for them.

I'm relatively young (25) and my first "real" watch (other than literal $5 Chinese nothing watches as a kid) was a Casio CA52W-1 calculator watch. Wore it for, oh, 7 years solid. Every day, all day, throughout the end of high school and all through university. Moved on to G-Shocks as well as inexpensive mechanicals now, but Casio will always have a place in my heart and on my wrist.

She is so hot.

>>15891995
I mean she's not fugly, but she looks a little homely/sickly. With all due respect of course.

new abomination, extra dial patina edition. with the horrid hairpulling casio bracelet. dont have a secondhand that fits sadly enough.

Why would you put a quartz movement in an auto?

Auto cases are much thicker and heavier so they can contain a brick of a movement, not to mention autos in general are far more expensive than their quartz equivalents.

Plus, if you're keeping the dial, it looks really tacky to have "automatic" on the dial with a quartz movement proving it wrong every second.

>>15891924
Watches these days are heavy on purpose. Companies realised that instead of making a quality product, they can just make the case a few mm thicker and leave it feeling like "quality" to retards who understand nothing about materials.

Titanium does have some issues, but there are alloys that are just as scratch resistant as SS these days.

>>15892100
SS isn't really scratch resistant, it's a soft metal relatively speaking. It's got p good corrosion resistance though.

Mall watches aren't uniformly bad. Sure, they're all made in the same Chinese sweatshop with identical quartz movements, but some have good designs and are finished nicely. If someone is looking to spend, like, a hundred bucks on a watch why shouldn't they consider a mall shitter?

>heres ur watch, bro

>>15892100
Have you ever had a stainless steel watch? Appliance? Anything? SS is not scratch resistant at all. If you look at it wrong, it scratches.

>>15892145
It's more scratch resistant than butter. Hardness is all a matter of perspective.

>>15892152
Call me up when your AD gets a Butter Rolex Daytona in

Probably not. The future of luxury watches is ceramic. 10/10 durability and lighter than steel.

>durability
Ceramic watches have literally ZERO durability. I broke half of a strap just trying to get the fucking pins out, the stuff shatters if you look at it funny.

Someone post the picture of that poor reddit retard who bought an omega or something and the lug sheared right off when he dropped it.

True, but everything else they use for watches is even softer.
Titanium, gold, platinum, ... all scratch even easier.

>>15892136
Because a hundred bucks is a stupid amount to spend for shit. No one is impressed and it's poorly designed. It's bad taste.

If you're poor just rock an F91W or whatever. Or put down real money and get something actually nice.

>>15891945
There's probably been literally over 2000 ecodrives, kinda hard to say they're all bab

>>15892136
Because they could get a Pagani or similar from Aliexpress that will be 10x the watch for the same price, but it won't have the Nazi's uniform designer's name on the dial.

Looks nice. Why not leather?
