>>15922058
You're saying G-Shock is low tier? Seiko manages GS and Grand Seiko. Turn your brain on.

RAILMASTER

>>15922073
whoops, meant Credor

Fish leather. It sounds weird and gross. Looks great to me, though.

>>15922073
Grand Seiko =/= Seiko

>>15922073
Grand Seiko =/= Seiko

>>15922083
Seiko is pretty respectable, though. Funny though, I only own one. A prospex; don't see myself getting another one. Only GS or Credor down the road.

Are there any interesting non-Bluetooth non-smartphone spyware quartz watches coming out, or ones that came out recently? Looks like Edifice went full retard with the smartphone integration, what else is there?

>>15922073
G-Shock are useful tools but they aren't luxury or fashion.

>>15922081
Isn't that stingray though?

>>15922058
>hating on Casio and Seiko
This is how you know someone isn't horologically knowledgeable

>>15922081

>>15922100
Calling them luxury watches means that you're poor and not the first choice for someones daughter. Granted we don't know if this person is a romantic interest that might marry her or just a teacher/acquaintance. Better be safe than sorry though and kick him out.

>>15922045
I'm not sure you could have picked a more boring watch for the OP

>>15922109
I don't know anyone who will unironically call Casio luxury.

Seiko can be decent in some of their models.

>>15922105
>If I have two watches, one at 25k and the other at say, 125k, and they both have the Geneva Seal but they're completely identical, why is the 125k watch 100k more?
Because there is a lot more to be finished.
The tourbillon cage for instance is entirely hand finished, and takes up a lot more work than the entire basic movement in the basic Overseas. And the rest of the movement is also a lot more intricate.
And it's not just finishing, but hand tuning and fitting as well.

Lange does the same thing: the level of finish is the exact same on their "cheap" watches as on their top-end watches. There's just a lot more of it because there are a lot more parts to be finished.

Will all that finishing and extra expenses impact your life in any meaningful way?

Spend $300 and donate the rest to charity.

What watch are you guys waiting on? I'm a couple days from getting my pillow case vostok.

>>15922117
>>15922117
You greentext that but you didn't read it. I'm not talking about more parts, man. Okay, two movements that are 100% IDENTICAL, super basic. Watchmaker ABC down the street finishes it, the whole thing, apparently. The other movement goes to fucking Phillipe Dufuor or some legend, okay. Forget name, desirability. ABC movement is say x - amount. Phillipe Dufuor is 10x that. How come? Because the attention to detail regarding everything within was above and beyond ABC watchmaker. I don't think an entry level watch is going to receive the same care as an inaccessible watch that is practically the same, mechanically. That's it for me.

Why does Rolex make so many ugly watches?

>>15922151
Rolex is like the kardassians. Popular because of being popular.

>>15922151
I don't like rolex and this design is fine, should have posted an Airking or Cellini

>>15922151
taste is subjective

>>15922155
Compared to the Explorer 1 the 2 is ugly

Cellini is the nicest rolex. You know i'm right.

>>15922162
I'd choose a cellini over the mainline, just because I don't want to be lumped in with the people who wear mainline rolex.

>>15922154
Everyone likes to shit on them but you definitely wouldn't turn one down ?

>>15922166
Just like kim rolex is for the ghetto niggas.

>>15922162
No.

>>15922166
I'd take one to flip and buy a GS
contemporary rolex really leaves me wanting. some of the vintage stuff is cool but fantastically overpriced for what it is

>>15922141
How brands interpret the Geneva Seal is largely up to them.
I assumed you were talking about two watches from VC.

Between a Vacheron with Geneva Seal and a Dufour, the difference is going to be in things like anglage.
With Vacheron (and Patek, and Lange, ...) the anglage is pretty much a relatively narrow 45° angled cut that is then polished by hand.
With Dufour, Voutilainen, ... the anglage is much wider and is entirely rounded. With more complex shapes, curves, corners, ...

The finish on the ultra high end (Dufour, ...) is more elaborate, but all the same surfaces are finished on both types of watches.
The Geneva Seal calls for a finish of ALL surfaces of pretty much all components (including the sides and back of every plate, all the surfaces of all the wheels, the screw heads and even feet, ...). The only surface I can think of that does not require a finish according to the GS is the holes in which jewels are press fit, because those need to remain rough to provide friction.

Between a "cheap" Vacheron with the Geneva Seal and an ultra high-end Vacheron with the Geneva Seal, there is no difference in the level of finishing; there's just more of it.

>>15922172
yikes, that looks terrible

>>15922154
But which one is which ?

Kim - Sea-dweller
Kourtney - Explorer I
The big monster one - AirKing ?
kylie - Blinged out day date
Kendell - Sub

>>15922077
What watch can give me the railmaster look without the price tag?

Identify this watch please.

>>15922045
best watch to compliment a complete wristlet of a dude? I have alien-thin wrists.
Preferably if comes in silver. I like that Sopranos style but those guys have fat wrists. Any recommendations appreciated. Budget is under £1000.

>>15922251
It's a fashion watch. Buy it for how it looks and not it's quality because it has none.

>>15922256
DW has always been hated. The epitome of a fashion watch. $2 shit quartz movement, trash build quality but hey they sell for $200 because of decent marketing and simple designs.

>>15922115
>I don't know anyone who will unironically call Casio luxury.
Edifice is luxury in India.

I'd ask for a recommendation but I can't describe what I like about the first one, I like the chunkiness of it and the leather black strap with the black face, I trust your opinion on designer watches being trash but I never had an intention of buying a watch in the first place until seeing this one.

I sorta like the one in pic attached but I don't know, I don't wear normal dress shit, getting a standard watch would look out of place on me, I might look around a little more.

>>15922045
I'm looking for 36mm dive watches and can't find SHIT. The 35mm-38mm diver market is fucking dead. Nobody makes skindivers anymore, everybody wants to be 40mm Rowlecks. I just want a dive watch in a compact, small case. Fuck it, I'm gonna make my own. If everyone is asking for small dive watches and the fucking swiss continue to fellate themselves I'm gonna capitalise on it. Full on mid century aesthetic, no date or at least symmetrical date windows, stainless steel bezel inserts, gilt dials, gay freres bracelets, no crown guards. AND NO FUCKING COMPROMISES, NONE OF THAT, "IT'S LE VINTAGE LOOK BUT WITH LE MODERN TWIST 8:::::::::D~~~O^:" HODINKEE SHIT. WE EITHER DO IT FAITHFULLY OR WE DON'T DO IT AT ALL YOU SPINELESS, TEST GROUP PLEASING KEKS.

>>15922280
You'll be fine with virtually any watch below 40mm, so long as the lug to lug isn't Nomos tier retarded. I've got similarly sized wrists and stuff like the SARB033 fits fine.

>>15922256

>>15922307
buy an mid size omega seamaster

>>15922307
Just buy vintage, retard. You don't need water resistance, and if you do, well, it's not hard to replace a few gaskets.

The modern market is an absolute joke, and there are hundreds of great vintage models you could be buying right now. Wait until you realise that modern solid link bracelets are utter garbage and you can tighten up a vintage folded link bracelet in 10 minutes with a pair of pliers to get something that looks as good while also being thinner and half the weight.

>I don't wear normal dress shit, getting a standard watch would look out of place on me
what about a seiko dresskx? pic related
its not as dressy as the bambino, its toolish but not overly so, and its quite fashion leaning and friendly as watches go
>>15922307
longines legend diver is 36 and likely what you are looking for, its very nice looking.

the zodiac seawolf is a skin diver but 39.
zelos's newest offering (blacktip) is also a skin diver but at 40.

>>15922307
Yeah that's basically the only thing I'm on the lookout for but hardly anyone is making yet.

>>15922316
>>15922306
also, you can change the straps to whatever, so colour of the strap is not an issue

>>15922309
>>15922285
Thank you, I have a Seamaster as a gift and it's fine to wear but it's a 40mm case and relatively bulky, I will peruse more silver watches around 36mm 38mm

>>15922307
genuinely an untapped market, esp when watches are essentially hypebeast tier now

>>15922277
I literally linked the timestamp? I'm talking about the watch on the massive ad on the left.

>>15922314
I like heavy bracelets though. Weight denotes quality
...like with women

>>15922324
this is the best i can do in photoshop

>>15922325
Then buy a modern piece of shit and just re-use the lug pieces.

Heavy bracelets are awful.

>>15922345
I do and I have. I dislike folded cheap bracelets on modern watches but theres a certain charm on a vintage piece.
Like it's objectively poorer quality but its fun to mix it up you know

Is there a European version of Esslinger? Where do people in EU get all their watchmaking shit from?

>>15922351
I'm sure there is several supply houses.

>>15922351

The vintage market was worth it in the 2000s, where you could buy stuff like a speedmaster for 1k, and lesser brands for 100-400$. Now with le hodinkee le watch enthusiasts a vintage sea wolf costs 1k, no way lmao.
>>15922316

>>15922349

Depends on your criteria for quality. Heavy = good? Sure, why not just strap a piece of tungsten to your wrist then.

Weight is one of those elements that really isn't even considered anymore, and it's frustrating that you have to pick between a disposable strap and fiddly buckle, or a hunk of shit strapped to your arm but at least it won't fall apart!

The only one of these any man should even consider is the Seiko. Dial size is important, kids, nobody wants to wear a woman's watch with a bezel. Even if you do have a woman's wrist.

>>15922409
I've been keeping my eye out for it arriving. Didn't have it in my budget to order one but was super interested.

Looks pretty sweet anon. upload some beauty shots later. The bezel looks fantastic

Are you pleased ?

>>15922399
>>>being scared of thickness on a tool watch
You aren't going to be wearing this shit with diving gloves on, fuck off.

There's no reason for a diver to be thicker than 12mm in the modern world. Personally, I'd never buy anything over 10.

>>15922413

>>15922399

>>15922440
it's too thin for the diameter. It's like strapping a cookie to your wrist.

>>15922432
You think actual divers use divers? They're a last resort backup at best, you'd have to be fucking retard to rely on one when dive computers exist.

Divers are useful because you can use the bezel to time shit day to day.

I love how chunky and solid it looks.

>>15922450
Looks fantastic anon, you picked a good dial / bezel color combo.

>>15922464

I feel like Biver is inspiring Zenith and TAG to do some cool stuff. Maybe he will redeem himself for Hublot.

I wonder if he used the same Royal oak vs big bang logic with the zenith chronomaster sport vs daytona

Most watch mods are hideous. The only mods I like are things like movement swaps and maybe the odd dial as long as it's from the same manufacturer. Fitting some massive sapphire crystal and an aftermarket chink 90% lumed dial just ruins a watch.

The furthest I'd go would be swapping out day/date rings, because I think the contrast looks cool when you have one in white and the other in black.

>>15922876

Got the bracelet adjusted for the keks, took the pin punches and little hammer to do it. Surprisingly the clasp has more adjustment than my seiko bracelets. The light folded bracelet guy would dig it.

>Surprisingly the clasp has more adjustment than my seiko bracelets.
More adjustment isn't a good thing, what's important is how close together the holes are. Bigger clasps just add more weight.

One thing I've never understood is why the Japanese Seikos all had sensible 28.5mm clasps, while the burger versions of the exact same watch lines had 37.5mm watch clasps. Sure, you get more adjustment (7 holes instead of 5), but who the fuck uses all those holes? Why does your wrist expand/shrink THAT much?

>>15923065
>high quality
>russian

>>15923070
The one seiko clasp I have only comes with two holes. The vostok has 4 plus two on the other side.

>>15923070

>>15923037

https://youtu.be/fii-t942VuE

>>15923075
Fair enough, 2 holes is shit. You need at least 3 to give you some leeway and create a half-link analogue.

>>15923076
Take out the links, you dumb cunt. Micro adjustment is for wrist expansion at most. The bracelets are no longer, just the clasps.

Breitling super seawolf, one of the blacked out versions, get a second hand one to save about 50% off retail.
There is also the breitling super avenger for a black chrono option but i dunno if you can get one for less than 5k
For a beater a longenes conquest VHP , a high accuracy quartz model or maybe a bolova precisionist.

Decent watch or reddit watch?

>>15923155
I like lorier. Youre paying a significant premium for design so got to judge how important that is to you. Has a nice angular design to it so if that's your thing might beat the baltic.

>>15923155
both. the design is an amalgamation of mid century divers but in a way that is at least not a direct copy of an old watch. bracelet is apparently quite good, only thing I could say against it is the plexiglass instead of sapphire but it suits the vintage aesthetic that it's going for much much better.

>>15923083

With more microadjust, you can fit it on a smaller wrist while removing less links. Bizzare thing to complain about.

>Amazing how many charities out there use 95% of their donations to pay six figure salaries to board members and do very little for people in need

Maybe, maybe not. You can't just cut a check to people in Africa for food and expect good to happen. There's overhead and personnel to do shit right.

And quite seriously as well, if you want talent you're going to have to pay for it. If you want too talent for your charity 6 figures is a massive pay cut as it is. Seriously an MBA with the talent to run a fortune 500 company would pull $30 mil a year+ easy. If you don't pay competitive market rates you can't get top talent

>>15923815
Eh I understand aesthetic concerns. I think the eichi credor models have it on the back.

Is nothing safe from shooting up in price? All I wanted was a cheap Chronosport Sea Quartz from the early 80s. A fucking garbage dead-brand quartz shitter. The only special thing about it is Tom Selleck wore one in Magnum PI for the first 3 seasons. Now the fuckers are selling for over $1500 in dogshit condition.

I know that feel. I’ve always wanted to get the official Seiko Vietnam War watch used by MACV-SOG, which was used by the baddest motherfuckers in black ops. Thing is, this Seiko 5 has been sought after for decades with a mediocre example going for $1,000. With worn off chrome playing and water damage “patina”. Imagine that, a shitter that would have been $8 in its heyday going for a full grand.

>>15924009
Accurate, but rude

>>15924038
That’s literally what I did. I got a $60 shitter and hired someone to do the NH36 movement, datewheel, and handset swap for $160. It makes no goddamn financial sense. It’s quite stupid, really, but I’m glad I didn’t spend $1,000 on a vintage watch with a vintage movement with an unknown service history, questionable gaskets, and water damage that is sold as “patina”.

I’m getting shoulderless springbars and a Rothco covered watch strap to go full commando LARP, complete with tiger stripe camp and jungle boots. At most, I’m going to jump into a nearby forest and throw rocks at Asian hikers

You should always preferentially remove links, though. The only time you should have more links than you really need is if you're taking advantage of the difference between link length and micro adjust length to create pseudo half-links. For example, at micro adjust 1, the strap is too tight. But at micro adjust 2 + 1 link, the strap is just right.

My G-Shocks take diving just fine, and a digital readout is more accurate and legible than a bezel. Not bashing dive watches, I like them, but it's silly to dismiss digital as somehow less-than. Digitals are more reliable, legible, and feature packed. And therefore more functional. And I want the tools I rely on in a mildly potentially life threatening situation to be functional before decorative.

I like digitals, but it's a pain in the ass to use the stopwatch with those shitty tiny buttons that barely work. Dive bezels are much easier.

Sure, if I'm planning on timing something that takes multiple hours, or I need a real stopwatch where seconds count, I'll bring my G-shock. but the rest of the time? A bezel is better and more convenient.
