this is the german chrono field autism watch I was referring to before. I don't mind it to be honest

>>15901351
Nice Vario homage

>>15901370
So just buy an old Omega?

>>15901375
Thanks.

Should I buy an Omega Railmaster for 30% discount, or get a Sinn 556a and then some other watch?

>>15901306
>>15901310
this is hammy guy, you must be new here.

>>15901416
Fauxtina can be divisive and I'm pretty sure some people will change their mind about it over time and regret buying a watch with it, it's very faddish in my opinion and will fall out of favour over time.
I prefer the Sinn option, it's a more versatile choice.

>>15901379
Yeah, but they go for above new price now, which kinda sucks.

>>15901416
If you can deal with no-date and fauxtina, buy it, absolutely.

I want this shitter

>>15901457
what movement does it have?

>>15901464
Mechanical handwound Valjoux 7760 movement modified

>>15901454
And they will keep doing that. Bought my second semenmaster for a little more than I sold the last one for and can sell it tomorrow for a little more than I paid this time. Still less than half of a new one.

>fauxtina

When I first saw it I just thought it was just yellow-colored lume.
I don't get why people get so hung up on that.
DESU I think it's the best looking Omega, and would get it over the Millgaus or Explorer.

>>15901496
People get hung up on it because it never looks like real old radium lume, because it isn't. Might as well just be honest and use regular white lume.

>>15901496
May as well go the whole hog and make watches with aged dials and scratched to shit cases.

>>15901440
>>15901456

Yeah, I am not a huge fan of the patina look in watches, but the features of the watch are more what I'm looking at. Like
>>15901496 said, the explorer or milgaus can't touch its features with the 15,000 gaus resistance in addition to being a master chronometer for $3,600. Think I'm going to get it this weekend.

>>15901500
Either Stowa or Laco make a full patina dial flieger. Its real dumb looking.

Where did you get that? Raffles time store?

>>15901469
But isn’t the price of second hand ones going up?

>>15901283
Does anyone knows a brand still that sells watches like pic related?

I love this one but it's 60 years old... I'd like to have something like this but new, around 35mm...

>>15901551
My father had it stashed away in storage, it hadn't run for 20 or so years. Bit of a newfag, looked up prices for this reference 7928 and amazed quite frankly what some people will ask for this old thing.

>>15901539
too big for you

>>15901555
Nomos Orion is your friend, goes all the way down to 33mm

>>15901561
thanks i'll check that

>>15901552
Always.

>>15901559
Those were my initial thoughts as well, god really left me unfinished. It's a neat watch though, debating whether to service it or not

>>15901539
Love 'em. Not a fan of the way the lume changed colour on this one, though. Looks like someone put it in the oven, which might very well be the case, vintage is a difficult place if you're not very knowledgeable.

>>15901558
Ok, that changes things. Take very good care of it, this will be worth a fortune in twenty years. It already is worth a small fortune, really. Very nice.

>>15901558
Hope he fucked you in the ass before he died you fucking privileged piece of shit.

>>15901567
I lucked out, I didn't spend a penny on it since it was a storage shed find. I'll see if I can ask my pops about when he last had it serviced, maybe they did a hack job on reapplying lume or something.

Damn, this Seamaster looks really good. Funny enough I had never seen this reference in black before. Far superior to the blue.

>>15901370
rolex could produce pure shit and their fangays will still lap it up

Ok so let's say I don't want to spend more than $2k for a watch. And I don't want a dressy watch, just an everyday watch. What's my best bet in terms of coolness, brand recognition, having a tool aesthetic, preferably black with a black dial, or just steel with a black dial. I want something that doesn't make me feel like a poorfag but isn't flashy or noticeable.

>>15901645
>brand recognition
really?

>>15901645
It's a crazy idea, but why don't you just buy something you like?

>>15901645

>>15901645
Your dumb. It's not gonna get recognized by plebs. Someone asked if my casio was a rolex. Someone asked if my field hamilton was an invicta. Buy what you want you'll be with it for a while with any luck.

>>15901645
If name recognition is important to you there's pretty much no other choice than Rolex. Not for under 2k though. If you just don't want an overpriced shitter then maybe look for <$500 Seikos or <$2500 Sinns.

cheers m8 that light blue sub-dial tone is disgusting

>>15901645
How about a Longines? They make a lot of cool tool watches for around the USD 2,000 mark. Brand recognition is good, the brand has a legitimate history and many very high-level collectors, their watches aren't particularly flashy, and you will feel as though you bought a good premium luxury watch.

Pic related is their "Legend Diver Watch" which I really like but is at the top end of your budget (you can probably get a discount however). Something like a HydroConquest is well within your price range.

>>15901621
>>15901578
Where can you even buy these? I have never seen a Dolce being sold online.

>>15901672
Would look so much better with indices only or no date and a 3

the dial looks so unbalanced it triggers me greatly

>>15901671
>>15901667
See e.g. that Speedmaster with the ceramic lug that completely snapped off when the owner dropped it

Are there watch blogs and youtube channels that focus mainly on watches 300 dollars and below? I know JOMW but that's about it.

I don't have enough brain damage and heritage delusions to ever consider "luxury" watches.

>>15901680
That's why it doesn't have lugs. I have several Mega Solars in the family, no broken ceramic cases.

>>15901681

>>Your dumb. It's not gonna get recognized by plebs.
I got a recommendation for a Tag in the previous thread which is very recognizable in Europe, but it's also a lot more expensive than that. I really like the new Carrera.

>>15901677
It reminds me of an old Seamaster or a Planet Ocean and doesn't particularly bug me. But I like dates.

>>15901681
JOMW
bens watch channel
just the watch

>>15901693
I like dates I would just prefer it with smaller indices at the 6,9,12 that are more balanced with the date window.

If they wanted to keep the Arabic numerals either size them down or replace the date window at 3 with a 3 and have a 4:30 date

>>15901689
It's concerning to me that there's a contingent of these reddit-tier "watch reviewers" on YouTube and that they seem to have actual influence over the major manufacturers. Multi-thousand dollar watches are slowly becoming regular old market-tested consumer shit like iPhones and fuckin Toyotas because of this cringeworthy online "culture" around them

>>15901692
Dolce like La Dolce Vita

Nvm I'm talking to an infant brain american

>>15901698
These are fair criticisms

>>15901682
It's not just lugs that are the problem but the entire case's propensity to chip and break. But if your real-world experience is different that's good to know

>>15901676

>>15901680
And this is one of like two or three pictures that have been reposted for years whenever someone talks about ceramic cases.
Cracking seems to be extremely rare, or there would be more than three examples out of all the ceramic watches sold throughout history.

>>15901704
I have a soft spot for longines but they seem to keep missing the mark with really small details.

The Spirit Automatic is another, I'm not usually a cut numerals autist but the 3 on that is a shitshow. apart from that they created a perfectly balanced dial for a field watch / explorer style.

>>15901721
jesus, should have just took the 3 out or ditched the date

Got my first Swatch, actually ordered 2 - other one black, but decided to return it. Anon was right, the ticking is quite loud but I have louder watches.

>>15901721
Agreed, but >>15901666 is a truly good looking watch with a beautifully balanced design.

Germans sure are great

>>15901422

You might look ridiculous but you and everyone around you will know the time at a glance.

>>15901743
Perfect watch for 80 year olds.

>>15901706
Yeah, the problem with the speedmaster is, that they took a shape which was designed for steel and put it in ceramic. The Mega Solars are designed to be ceramic, so they don't have so critical points of failure.

Not politics, it's current events. And it's a fact.
You don't see any rioting do you? The outrage machine moved on because they got what they wanted. George Floyd is this generation's Rodney King, and soon to be forgotten

time is constant

>>15901897
That watch looks way better without the date and cyclops.

>>15901576
If you have it serviced, for god's sake, don't send it to Tudor. Send it to an independent guy that knows what he's doing. If you want, when the time comes I can look a few up depending on where you are.

Can someone give me the rundown on the Powermatic 80 caliber? I can't find any info on other forums that doesn't devolve into autistic shit-flinging about plastics, silicon e.t.c.

I am also looking for suggestions for a watch while im here:
> Your budget
up to 1K USD or more
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Desk Diver
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Automatic or quartz - no solar ( It's too dark where I live)
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Sapphire crystal, No date or good date window integration
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Bracelet
> Wrist size or desired watch size
17cm wrist - compact thickness and lug to lug appreciated

So she's not a woman?

>>15901993
>no solar ( It's too dark where I live)
Unless you live at the north pole where it's dark half the year, AND you own no lightbulbs, a solar quartz movement will recharge just fine, dude. They use next to no power.

yes or no? I'm 19

>>15901283
I like the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M more than the Rolex Submariner because I prefer its case design, dial finishing, date window, fully graduated bezel, hands, and I like that it has a relatively "exotic" movement compared to the Submariner. That said, I recognize that the Submariner is the more iconic of the two watches.

Likewise, I like the Rolex Daytona more than the Omega Speedmaster for almost the exact same reasons. And, similarly, the Speedmaster is arguably the more iconic of the two watches, having beat the so-called "Cosmograph" to NASA certification, several manned spacewalks, and a moon landing.

In fact, I think the watches complement each other extraordinarily well (pic related, sized to scale based on lug-to-lug measurement).

Funny, that.

>>15901993
Certina DS Action Diver 38mm

>>15901993
Basically, the Powermatic 80's selling point is MUH 80 HOURS OF POWER but in order to get that they did some shit to lower the beatrate. Most people would rather have 4hz which would also make the watch more accurate, as opposed to having the extra 40 hours of power reserve and a lower rate + you don't know how the long term performance will be seeing as the movement has been monkeyed with to run slower, rather than running as originally intended. It may also use some more plastic parts that are also newer. They may wear faster and may be harder to source but that's hearsay

>>15902012
Are there more entry level sub38mm divers out there?

This is what I want but the Certina design doesn't really do it for me.

>>15902008
The important thing is whether or not you'd be happy with it.
Don't make decisions based solely on the personal tastes of autists on a Yugoslavian Rolex counterfeiting forum.
That being said, tissot is decent quality, not great. For the money you get what you get, a basic "swiss" watch.

>>15901993
Get this absolutely awesome vintage reissue
Alsta Nautoscaph Superautomatic 1970
It has a great cushion case with an authentic retro size and compact lug to lug and NO FAKE AGED LUME, the movement is a cheap one for a watch with that price but the whole package is just so good looking

SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME

>>15902008
I'm not in love with the Tissot brand or buying into entry level Swatch group in general. I would personally look into a standalone brand.

>>15902032
oh fuck you

>>15902008
Tissot is basically what the Swiss manufacturers have mutually decided is the entry level for a Swiss watch (other than Swatch, but Swatch is meant to be childlike/fun). At 19 years old, you could do far worse than a Tissot. If you like it, get it.

>>15902008
There are three main reasons to get a watch: to flex, to satisfy your personal taste, to use as a tool.
Which of those are you trying to do?
If it's flex, then a Tissot is a fail. If it's because you like it, then do it. And I doubt it's because you intend to use it as a tool watch.

>>15901721
What in the fuck were they thinking with this? Seriously that looks awful.

>>15902038
No u

Suggest a watch for me.
>Explorer 1 but better

>>15902049
They're trying to cater to the vintage watch crowd but they're doing a piss poor job of it

>>15902046
it's mainly because I want to get a classy decent watch that can work in special occasions and also as an everyday watch (i already own gshocks and seikos and other shitters but nothing that could go with a suit)
Can you even get a watch to flex in the sub 1000$ category?

>>15902061
If you just want some classy dress watch you can do better than Tissot. Tissot is seriously the most basic bitch thing you can get. On purpose.

>>15902027

what's the watch that most people like in the community?
my guess would be ironically a casio f91w

>>15902061

>>15901775
george floyd was a thug who deserved to die

>>15902057
I posted it earlier. The Omega Railmaster. Better movement, better build, more dial colors, longer power reserve, less expensive, more attainable.

>>15902121
It's not a Rolex though. No heritage.

>>15902127
muh heritage

>>15902127
The Explorer that climbed my everest didn't look like an airking from years later. The explorer I is no longer a heritage watch, but a mashup of a few designs and 3mm larger, with a different movement.

>>15902127
Eat a dick nigger

Up until Rolex started marketing like crazy, Omega was considered the undisputed best luxury watch brand before getting into Vacheron/Patek territory, so it always amuses me to see people talking about Rolex's heritage. Rolex is basically hypebeast faggotry. The "muh Explorer climbed Everest" stuff is the direct equivalent of modern mumble rap faggots wearing Rolex watches. Same celebrity endorsement crap.

>>15902127
invicta literally has more heritage than rolex

>>15902134

>>15902127

orient kamasu is the new skx

>>15902011
Weirdly I think your reasing is the exact opposite of what I feel about these four watches. Have you ever seen a (modern) Daytona in person? It's actually really hard to read because it has really weird (sub)dial color choices. Also I hate the bezel.

>>15901937
don't care, Damasko is better anyway

>>15902184
Yes

>>15902174
They do, they just also buy other watches rather than thinking Rolex is it

>>15901997
I don't get it.

>>15901937
It's getting more memed, so it was unevitable

>>15901993
It's based on the ETA2824 and exists in 3 classes, as the ETAC07.XXX
Lowest class has a polymer escapement, middle class has a jeweled escapement, and highest class which is COSC for Mido and Powermatic 80 Silicium for Tissot has a amagnetic, silicon spring.

It has a lower beat rate than the ETA 2824 to help increase the power reserve, and it has a free sprung balance wheel, making it more precise, but harder to regulate, but it comes quite well regulated out of the factory.

It's a very good movement but I would always prefer the 2824 since it's not as controlled by the Swatch Group and you find more watchmakers willing to work with it.

It has a rep for being a plastic movement because it get's confused with the swissmatic sometimes.

>>15901539
theyre pretty based imo. picrel is an old picture of my 76100 w/ the lollipop hour hand

>>15901937
It's just popular atm, wont last.

>>15902203
Funny, might just be a matter of taste then. I have seen a two-tone Daytona in person but not the exact model in the image. I didn't find it particularly hard to read. I also have another, non Rolex watch with a silver dial and similar style of hands and have no trouble reading it.

What do you like more about the Submariner and Speedmaster? Why do you hate the Daytona's bezel?

>>15902236
Eat a sandwich

>>15902246
I don't like the style of bezel that has numerals on it and falls off to the side. Daytona and Explorer II have this and many others too. The numbers make it part of the dial for me and it looks off to me when the "outer dial" doesn't seem to want to be read by me.
I like the Speedmaster because it's much more simple and subtle in it's styling (and has a proper bezel). In terms of quality there's no question that the Daytona is superior. Oh and in my experience screw down pushers are really annoying when you quickly want to time something.
I generally like Seamasters, I just don't like the "wart" that they use for a helium excape valve and the case shape + bezel are simply more elegant on a Submariner. Still think both are good though.

>>15901539
when will they learn

any chink shitters with a 38mm or less case size?

>>15902028
I live in fucking Sweden and in the 2 years I've had my solar G-Shock it has never dipped below the High battery mark

>>15902279
Nice lume but not as nice as a Tudor lumed up.

>>15902061
You aren't going to get a high end watch to flex with that would be recognized by average people for under a grand, but if you're lucky you could find a vintage one that would be respected by watch enthusiasts.
Then again, if your intention is to flex then you shouldn't have been aiming that low to begin with.
A Tissot is a good starter watch for everyday use and looks nice enough for formal wear. Most people won't even notice your watch anyway.
You can always save up your money and buy a high end watch if you think a entry level swiss isn't good enough.

>>15902279
what do you think of cyclops?

>>15902184
Kamasu was too busy to look at, went with a Seiko 5 instead, but it was a tough choice.

Do you mean the downward angle of the bezel? The way I see it, a tachymetric scale is not meant for ultra precise measurement so this doesn't truly affect the watch's usability. On a dive watch, it would (since, theoretically, you use the bezel to ensure you're under for a safe amount of time), so by your reasoning the Submariner's bezel must be inferior to the Seamaster's because it is set at a more extreme "falling" angle. Screw down pushers don't really bother me because they do contribute to the Rolex's better water resistance (I know others have achieved this without screw-downs but the Speedmaster has not). The He escape valve is one of my favourite components of the Seamaster, and I just love the compound curvature of its case shape and lugs, so agreed to disagree on those points.

Lamest X-Men. Wolverine cucked him.

it pisses me off that rolex seems to be the only one who cant make quality divers that are thin

why cant the regualr gmt master 2 just have oyster braclet

if you wear anything other than a dress watch and you don't actually use at least ONE of the additional complications on a daily basis, you are beyond saving

>>15902422
Perfectly fine with it.

>>15902430
I don't really see a difference in angle between the two desu. I actually like the Sea Dweller better than the regular Sub in terms of styling, size is too much for me though.

Looking to buy an orient automatic for officewear, what do you think this one?

Bambinos have fucked proportions. They are 41mm which some people (copers) say is pushing it for a dress watch. In reality it's probably grotesquely big unless you are a big guy 4 u with a 7.5 inch wrist. They also have an annoying 19mm lug width which makes strap changes irritating.
Orient makes another model I cannot remember that is better sized. I think it's called the Maestro and it's 40mm which, yes, is noticeably better.
You could also just take the solar quartz pill and get a Citizen Stiletto. Absolutely perfect for the office worker.

Miyota 82s0 - I'd prefer a 9xxx series movement if I was spending >€200
Stainless Steel - it would have to be really cheap to be anything else
Engraved back - simply meh
Sapphire crystal - actually pretty good
5ATM water resistence - meh
Looks like this - it looks bad anon and will look worse IRL

239 european pesos - you can probably find something better

but if you love it buy it, if you don't love it then don't ( and I mean really love it) don't buy watches you "like". If you think it's going to haunt your mind then pull the trigger

There is nothing wrong with buying shitters if you truly love them but the price being low makes them dangerous because people buy them just because they are cheap and set the bar for purchase so much lower.

Life is too short to wear watches you don't love regardless of price.

Should i cop? Only $150

That's about $147 more than it's worth.

If I saw someone wearing that, I'd genuinely think they are clearly not in the tax bracket they are trying to portray themselves as being a part of.

Don't get super gaudy shit unless you're a tasteless multimillionaire. Definitely don't get cheap gaudy shit; that's the worst look possible.

Honestly at your price there are a lot of good options. Open dial or open heart watches at the low end come across a bit gimmicky. They are cool if you're new to watches but you will get over it fast and probably regret it.

If you want to add something extra to the dial maybe look at a sun/moon indicator, sone seagulls have legit moonphase for relatively cheap.

Don't want to be too harsh on you, i just think you'd out grow the design and regret it.

I mean if you’d rather beat the shit outa that rather than stoop yourself to the level of wearing the 20 buck Casio go right ahead. My momma did that with her datejust in the 90s.

What do you do when you want a good watch but you hang around poor people, you're from a poor social class in a poor country, your friends are poor, your family is poor, everyone you come in contact with is poor, and so on? Basically a Rolex-tier watch is out of reach of anyone in your daily life. Do you still get it, or if not, what do you wear instead?

>>15902858
I'm assuming you yourself aren't poor?
Just get something that isn't obvious. Get either an independent of some kind second hand or a GS.
That said if you in Asia, just get the Rolex and rub it in like all the wealthy chinese exchange students who come to study in my country lol.

>>15902875
>I'm assuming you yourself aren't poor?
I am, I am just cursed with knowing about watches enough to get a real watch and not a Tissot or some other mall shit.

if you are poor than just get a Hammy or a decent mid-tier Seiko. Putting yourself in financial stress to impress some nimrods on /wt/ isn't worth it, and 99% of ppl won't know what you have any and it'll still be decent.
>>15902907
watches cost money. I don't see the issue unless someone is schilling a market-level-marketing scheme so you can buy a rollie.

>>15902902

It’s hilarious watching poorfags cope by endlessly wasting their money on dogshit microbrands. The lack of perspective is just astonishing. If these guys would stop buying these hideous FOTM shitters for a few years they could actually afford something decent. Instead they have a collection of 30 Seikos and literally worthless microbrand watches. Guess that’s why they’re poor.

The point of this post was to say I come here to laugh at the horrid decisions people make.

>>15902907
I woukd be posting my Vostok shitter with its glorious new bezel and caseback by now if amazon would hurry up with my damn caseback opener.

Help me /wt/

I've been promoted at work and it feels like the appropriate time to buy a decent watch.

Budget: £3000

I'm torn between a Tudor Black Bay or an AnOrdain model 1. I'm conscious that one is about double the price of the other but it's still a significant amount to pay. My head is saying the Tudor: I don't have a diver, it's rugged and a complete package whereas the AnOrdain is just there for the dial.

But damn. It's a British/Scottish made brand, it's gorgeous, and I could buy myself a diver with the excess or just save the money.

tldr: Tudor Black Bay or AnOrdain Model 1

>>15902980
this is 2chan tier bants, le 4channel deserves a better class of cloutfag

>>15902994
why are you buying a watch?
a) brand/flex
b) aesthetics
c) mechanical craftsmanship
d) to tell time

>>15902989
I've got a caseback opener but the vostok is still in the mail. Wanna be friends?

>>15902994
I'd get the black bay (58) to be honest.

>>15903002

This is my collection as it stands - given how it stands brand probably does matter here

>>15902994
Tudor. Easily. The AnOrdain is fine but you can't resell for what you bought it for if your tastes change. Which they will in all likelihood.

>>15903015
seems you prefer mechanical and brand matters, do i suggest buying a grand seiko on the secondary market. spring drive is literally the most accurate mechanical movement ever created

>>15902994
Black bay but only the fifty eight, the rest are awful.

>>15902506
>Fag that wears a dress
Why yes, Of course I require a dress watch to go with my polka dot dress

Lol you fags and your 300m dive watches and just butt snorkel in the bathtub

You Cessna fliers don't even do calculations when you just do touch n goes and never fly to any other airports so why the pilot watch?

Fuck man maybe people just like the way a watch looksor it's history or design


Dress watches ARE for low test manlets though that's for sure

>>15902994
Those are two very different choices.
Tudor is being hyped, but the BB58 is a very clean watch, timeless, well built, good color choices. It's the kind of watch you could wear as your one watch forever and it will go with you anywhere and handle anything. It's got a clean, no bullshit, masculine design.
AnOrdain on the other hand is a company for watch guys. Their watches are refined, modernist, and playful. They're nice watches. But these watches project a completely different mood.

>>15903036

You sent me down a rabbit hole, brother. I would usually laugh off Chinesium like that but picture related got me thinking. This is probably every bit of what microbrands in the US would have made overseas and then sell for three to six times the asking rate direct from the source. NH35, sapphire, sterile fliger, oldschool crown. $100. I fucking bought it, because for that price it's worth seeing what it's about.

>>15903257
looks interesting, how much are these?
My vostok just turned up.
So far it's been a pain to set (hence the incorrect date) the bezel itself is misaligned (as in molded incorrectly, it's never 100% straight) and is running 3 minutes fast in the last hour I've been wearing it.
But it's still fucking cool and I'll likely try my hand at regulating this soviet shitter at some point.
